In a blow to Republicans, Rudy Giuliani announced today that he won't run for the Senate seat currently held by Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand. This, despite polls showing Giuliani defeating Gillibrand. Giuliani's decision doesn't mean the Republicans have no chance of taking the seat once held by Hillary Clinton. But it does mean they have less of a chance, and they've lost a potential national Senatorial spokesman for an assertive foreign and counter-terrorism policy. I guess Giuliani will have his hands full making Rio safe for the 2016 Olympic Games. More by Matthew Continetti |

Although Megadeth and Motörhead have toured together in the past, it's always an inspired pairing. On the one hand, you get the more structured metallic roar of Dave Mustaine and Megadeth. On the other, you get the balls-to-the-wall grind of Lemmy Kilmister and Motörhead. Personally, I prefer the latter, but true metalheads will always have a soft spot for such classic Megadeth efforts as Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? and Rust in Peace. Of course, seeing that both bands have been around for well over 30 years, their legacy is fairly safe. Volbeat and Lacuna Coil open.

Most of them are using the "Baccarole" music for a big part of the program. If he's focusing on the big aria, it should have a very different feel. Or Men. A qualifying country can have different competitors for the SP/SD and FS/FD in two of the four disciplines, but, unless they don't qualify anyone, in which case they can appoint another skater/team, everyone who skates in the Team event must also skate in the Individual event. I know they're trying to keep the numbers down, but I think it would be interesting to allow different skater/teams to do the Team Event. They could spread the wealth, and they could also assign a "specialist" to one of the events, like a strong short or long program skater.
Interesting! http://www.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120810&content_id=36450352&vkey=ice_news
And that may even be true. Scoring at the Olympics can sometimes be different than worlds because figure skating is on display to the world. They may be less likely to reward a difficult program with falls at the Olympics than they would be at worlds. I don't think that means that someone with no quad will win again. But a clean program from Dai with one quad may be more likely to beat a messy program from chan with two quads at the Olympics than it would be at worlds.
Also the men have to make the team first and doing code whoring clean programs has a good chance of making a world/olympic team over the falling on quad guys. Most of the guys don't have Chan's skating skills to go along with the quads. But you have to skate clean and code whore to death. Evan could succeed at that but he has landed quads in the past. Kind of any way. He just had injuries that prevented them and that along with strategy allowed him to be quad less but win 3/4 years ago.
Interestingly, injuries did not prevent quite a few other skaters from going for quads around that time. I really think that if a quad had been necessary to win, Lysacek and Carroll would have found a way to train and attempt it. But luckily for him, the rules at the time and the state of the rest of the men's field made it easier to win without a quad. Not so anymore - I hope, because with or without a quad, there are far better skaters than Lysacek.
At 2011 worlds Kozuka beat Chan on the tech score so there is that marker. Kozuka was cleaner with one quad in the FS and none in the SP. Before he was beaten by Takahashi at the WTT the last person to beat Chan was Verner doing an exact copy of Lysaceks free skate technical layout when Chan zayaked. I remember Lysacek bringing up Verner's win in a chat he had. He could still be thinking of that. I wouldn't say "quite a few" the jump was really vanishing and it was Joubert and Verner only really at 2009 worlds and in the 2009-2010 GP season Plushenko was added. Lambiel didn't do the GP season. No medalist at the GPF in 2009 did a quad. Lysacek, Oda and Weir. Takahashi didn't do a successful quad all season 2009-2010. Van Der Perren dropped the quad for the Olympic season so did Oda.
Finally!!! I'm really excited about Evan's return. Love the music choices of both his SP and LP, I've heard wonderful feedback about the programs. His top notched dream team will help him to go back to the top form. He was there before, and he'll be there again, better than ever! Wish him the best of luck, he'll be a great value add to Team USA!
http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/2012/nastia-liukin-evan-lysacek-talk-london-road-to-sochi.html Interview with Nastia and Evan
Looking forward to this! It'll be interesting to see how things shake up. I always liked Evan. Hope he'll branch out a bit with music like what he's got lined up.
The Nationals fluff is gonna be academy award winning dramaz this time around. This season is gonna be insane.
I love Evan Bates! So glad he has returned to skating. It's good to hear he found a new partner after Emily Samuelson.
If so, the music cut might be similar to Buttle's Torino LP. Lambiel's music style -> Evan's SP Buttle's music style -> Evan's LP Am I seeing a pattern here? Evan Lysacek, the new "artistic" skater!
Well, if he's copying artistry, at least he's copying skaters that actually are artistic. Imagine if he was "borrowing" from someone like Kevin van der Perren
Oh yes, there are better skaters than Lysacek, but I question whether they are also better competitors? Being an excellent skater counts little, if one is inconsistent.
Oh come on, why can't we look at the broader picture for all these come backs like Evan, Evgeni, Yuna, Miki and Johnny? It is good for the sport! They are all elite skaters and still have something to offer. I am sure they won't return if they are not well prepared. No one wants to make a fool of themselves ... not these elite skaters. They have more to lose than US. So let US sit back and enjoy the competition and the skating. London will be most exciting. Tickets should sell well. Youth triumphs over 'old faces'? Very possible. Maybe in Sochi we may see some very talented upcoming juniors obliterate the 'old faces' both in men and women. Can't wait.
Was he still having pre-rotation problems on the triple axel in the 2009-10 season? If so, can you (or anybody else) point me to some examples?
Skate America short program is where it was actually called. Other than that it was a season of edge calls and warnings on the flip.
First I've only read ""Evan" announced his ..." and I was like ... YEAH!!! ... but then I realized ... my, why can't this disgrace just go away forever ...
http://www.examiner.com/article/back-for-real-lysacek-targets-skate-america-for-competitive-return Lysacek is aiming for Sochi. He says he plans to peak in Sochi. Good luck Evan. Can't wait for the "Battle of the Olympian Medallists"!

Jeff co-founded the Weather Underground in 1995 while working on his Ph.D. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990.
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:17 PM GMT on February 01, 2012
Wintertime minimum temperatures in the U.S. have risen so much in recent decades that the United States Department of Agriculture decided last week to update their Plant Hardiness Zone Map for gardeners for the first time since 1990. The Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones. Compared to the 1990 version, zone boundaries in the new 2012 edition of the map have generally shifted one 5-degree Fahrenheit half-zone warmer than the previous map throughout much of the United States. This is mostly a result of using temperature data from a longer and more recent time period. The old 1990 map was based on temperature data from only a 13-year period of 1974-1986, while the new map uses data from the 30-year period 1976-2005.

Northwards, ho!
While humans are generally not attuned enough to nature's rhythms to tell if the climate is changing, plants and animals know the climate is changing. Many species of animals, insects, and plants have shifted their ranges poleward and to higher elevations in recent decades because of global warming. The 2007 IPCC report stated that "numerous studies document a progressively earlier spring by about 2.3 to 5.2 days per decade in the last 30 years in response to climate warming. That report also documented over 400 species that have moved their ranges poleward or to higher elevations because of climate change. For example, conifer trees expanded northwards into former tundra areas at a rate of 12 km per year between 1982 - 2000 in portions of Canada (Fillol and Royer, 2003.) Holly plants moved northwards by several hundred kilometers in recent decades into coastal Norway, Northeast Germany, Denmark, and coastal Sweden in response to warming temperatures (Walther et al., 2005.) As the climate continues to warm, plant and animal species previously unknown in many regions will appear, and will disappear from places they used to inhabit.
Figure 2. Change in the boundary line between conifer forest (taiga) and tundra between 1982 (grey line) and 2000 (white line) over Canada. In the grey box marked "Transect", the rate of northwards migration was 12 km per year, or 228 km (142 miles) in nineteen years.

Australian prime minister says boat carrying 350 people has sunk off Papua New Guinea By Associated Press, Published: February 1 PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea — Rescuers have plucked 50 survivors from the sea off Papua New Guinea's east coast after a ferry sank Thursday with as many as 350 people on board, officials said. An airplane from Australia, three helicopters and six ships were scouring the search area after the MV Rabaul Queen went down while traveling from Kimbe on the island of New Britain to coastal town of Lae on the main island, Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in a statement. Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard called the incident a "major tragedy" and said her country was providing assistance to its near neighbor. "Given the likely very high loss of life here, I think when this news comes to the attention of Australians around the country they will be thinking about the people of PNG as they respond to this tragedy," she added. The Australian maritime agency initially detected the ferry's distress beacon and alerted the PNG Maritime Rescue Coordination Center, which is coordinating the rescue effort. The Australian statement said "approximately 50 people have been rescued so far." It said 350 people were believed to be on board, but Papua New Guinea's National Maritime Safety Authority (NMSA) rescue co-ordinator Captain Nurur Rahman said the true figure was likely lower. "I cannot confirm or deny the 350 missing number. It is hearsay," Rahman said. "I have not seen the manifest as yet, but it is likely around 300." Rahman said he was being fed information from an NMSA agent on board one of the ships. "The dynamics of this thing are changing all the time, minute by minute," he said. Ship operator Star Ships could not be immediately contacted for comment. |
Thanks Skyepony. |
There is a ring around the moon here. |
Quoting BaltimoreBrian: This is typical some years for this area. If it wasn't prescribed & without rain soon this place is going up. I see Fellsmere got their prescribed burn. I hope they think to to burn down around Palm Bay & Mims soon too. ECFL is close to suffering at the whims of too much perfect weather. Yesterday when they started those, wind may have kicked up more than expected. The KSC one had a Mesocyclone signature on radar. It got real thick out there this morning, air quality & CO was an issue too Tomorrow even more fog is expected to mix in.. Here's road closures.. That wreck on I-75 was horrific. |
MRSA abbreviation for (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Microbiology) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: a bacterium that enters the skin through open wounds to cause septicaemia and is extremely resistant to most antibiotics. It has been responsible for outbreaks of untreatable infections among patients in hospitals. Pestilence watch: deadly form of MRSA spreads from U.S. to U.K. Posted on February 2, 2012 February 2, 2012 – LONDON – The number of potentially deadly strains of MRSA that are easily passed between healthy people, outside hospitals is increasing in the UK, experts said today. They include a flesh-eating form of pneumonia, USA300, which has spread across the US and is now being seen in the UK. Dr. Ruth Massey, from the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Bath, said extra vigilance was required around PVL-positive community acquired MRSA strains. She drew attention to USA300, a deadly strain of the superbug which passes easily through skin-to-skin contact. It is resistant to treatment by several front-line antibiotics and can cause large boils on the skin. In severe cases, USA300 can lead to fatal blood poisoning or a form of pneumonia that can eat away at lung tissue. Dr. Massey said there were 1,000 cases of PVL-positive community acquired MRSA in England in the last year, of which 200 were USA300 strains. 'These community-acquired strains seem to be good at affecting healthy people – they seem to be much better than the hospital ones at causing disease. 'They don't rely on healthcare workers moving them around, which the hospital ones seem to.' Dr. Massey said USA300 is 'a really big issue in the US and it's starting to emerge here. 'But hopefully because we are aware of it and are working to understand it, it won't become as big of a problem (in the UK).' –Daily Mail |
'Ring of fire' solar eclipse visible from North America Get out your calendar and make a big exclamation point on May 20. That's when an annular solar eclipse will turn the sun into a glowing ring of fire. This is the first solar eclipse visible from the United States in about 18 years, according to NASA. We've had our share of lunar eclipses in recent years, but solar eclipses happen when the moon passes in front of the sun, obscuring it from view. The "ring of fire" effect will be visible as far north as Medford, Oregon and as far south as Lubbock, Texas. Throughout the zone –called the "path of annularity" – sky watchers will see the sun transformed into a a bright doughnut-like object. The rest of the country west of the Mississippi (including Seattle) will witness a partial eclipse. That's when the sun appears to be crescent-shaped as the moon passes by off-center. NASA wants to remind you that this is not a total eclipse — when the moon entirely obscures the sun from view. The next total eclipse visible from the US happens in 2017. (Again, mark your calendar.) |
I didn't think about a body being completely consumed. Thanks Skook. |
Quoting BaltimoreBrian: When you have a pile of ashes.. .that once was a car, its may take a couple days. the same thing happened about 4 years ago in Polk county too, brush fire and dense fog led to a 100 car or so pile up. It burned so hot that the road melted, and had to be resurfaced. |
After what happened south of Gainesville are they issuing more strongly worded smoke advisories? I didn't understand how it took them two days to find one of the bodies in a truck in that wreck south of Gainesville. |
I-95 will probity close sometime tonight through early morning maybe 50 to 405, in North Brevard County. This is due to prescribed burns at KSC & around Tituville. KSC industrial area workers are to stay away til at least 10am. |

Quoting Xyrus2000:Nuclear Physics is another science I like. The universe is brimming with it..........Here is a piece about fusion......For sustained, controlled fusion reactions, a fission bomb obviously cannot be used to trigger the reaction. The difficulties of controlled fusion center on the containment of the nuclear fuel at the extremely high temperatures necessary for fusion for a time long enough to allow the reaction to take place. For deuterium-tritium fusion, this time is about 0.1 sec. At such temperatures the fuel is no longer in one of the ordinary states of matter but is instead a plasma, consisting of a mixture of electrons and charged atoms. Obviously, no solid container could hold such a hot mixture; therefore, containment attempts have been based on the electrical and magnetic properties of a plasma, using magnetic fields to form a "magnetic bottle." In 1994 U.S. researchers achieved a fusion reaction that lasted about a second and generated 10.7 million watts, using deuterium and tritium in a magnetically confined plasma. The use of tritium lowers the temperature required and increases the rate of the reaction, but it also increases the release of radioactive neutrons. Another method has used laser beams aimed at tiny pellets of fusion fuel. If practical controlled fusion is achieved, it could have great advantages over fission as a source of energy. Deuterium is relatively easy to obtain, since it constitutes a small percentage of the hydrogen in water and can be separated by electrolysis, in contrast to the complex and expensive methods required to extract uranium-235 from its sources. In 2007 China, the European Union, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the United States formally established the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Organization to build an experimental fusion reactor at Cadarache in S France that would use the "magnetic bottle" approach. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility, based in Livermore, Calif., and dedicated in 2009, is exploring the use of high-energy lasers focused on hydrogen fuel to achieve nuclear fusion.

Severe Weather Warning for flash flooding for people in the Upper Western, North West Slopes & Plains, Metropolitan, Northern Tablelands, Illawarra, Central West Slopes & Plains, Hunter, Mid North Coast and Central Tablelands forecast districts Issued at 11:18 am EDT on Thursday 2 February 2012. Weather Situation A broad trough of low pressure lies over inland NewSouth Wales, while a high south of the Bight extends a ridge across the southern Tasman Sea. This pattern, with assistance from an upper-level system over the state's west, is generating widespread rain across many central and eastern districts. A second trough lies of the northern coast, and is expected to bringing increased rainfall to central parts of the coast as it moves southwards later today and early Friday Rain which may lead to flash flooding is forecast for the Metropolitan, Illawarra, Central Tablelands, Central West Slopes & Plains, Hunter and North West Slopes & Plains forecast districts, in addition to the eastern parts of the Upper Western, and southern parts of the Northern Tablelands and Mid North Coast forecast districts. In the 24 hours to 9am Thursday Nowendoc has recorded 117 mm of rain, Port Macquarie 83mm, Comboyne 86mm, Tamworth 121mm, Narrabri 128mm, Moree 88mm, and Mogil Mogil 165mm. For latest flood warning information, refer to www.bom.gov.au/nsw/warnings/ The State Emergency Service advises that people should: Don't drive, ride or walk through flood water. Keep clear of creeks and storm drains. If you are trapped by flash flooding, seek refuge in the highest available place and ring 000 if you need rescue. |

After all, I don't think anyone is calling Pensacola a sockpuppet of SPL, or vice-versa, even though they share some similar views. |
Flood warning for 550 properties in northern NSW EVACUATIONS are underway in northern NSW as rising floodwaters threaten to cut off towns. Thousands of residents have been told to leave. Helicopters are descending on the region to airlift hundreds to safety. About 1600 residents in Moree and 80 people in nearby Biniguy have been ordered to leave their homes immediately as the Mehi and Gwydir rivers continue to rise to levels not seen since the 1970. Meanwhile a major operation is underway at Pallamallawa, with helicopters airlifting 600 trapped residents to safety. "Airlifting them out is the only option we have,'' NSW SES Deputy Commissioner of Operations Steven Pearce told AAP on Thursday. "It's an operation that will take all day, but we are very confident we will get everyone to safety." The SES said residents who ignored the evacuation order could be risking their lives. Evacuating Moree - 1600 people being evacuated to south Moree as the town prepares to be cut in half by 3pm (AEDT) on Thursday. Biniguy - 80 people being evacuated. Pallamallawa - 600 people being airlifted to safety. Isolated Wee-Waa - 2500 residents have been cut off by rising floodwaters. On standby to evacuate Croki and Manning Point - About 260 residents are likely to be evacuated later on Thursday, as the Manning River continues to rise. Evacuation warnings are also in place for 60 properties on the Wingham Peninsula, 40 properties in Taree and 19 properties in Barraba. The SES said the Mehi River at Moree was expected to exceed 9.5 metres about 3pm (AEDT) on Thursday and peak around 10.3 metres by 9am on Friday morning. Residents are being advised to evacuate to south Moree, where evacuation centres have been set up at the town hall and the PCYC. The SES has received 820 requests for assistance in recent days, with nine flood rescues carried out overnight. Multiple flood rescues of people trapped in their homes and cars were being carried out on Thursday. Meanwhile, up to 260 residents at Croki and Manning Point have been warned to prepare to evacuate as the Manning River continues to rise. That evacuation order was likely to be put out later on Thursday, Dep Comm Pearce said. The region has been hammered with 250mm of rain overnight, and the town of Wee Waa is completely isolated. About 2500 residents there will be monitored through regular food and supply drops, Dep Comm Pearce said. Evacuation warnings are in place for 60 properties on the Wingham Peninsula, 40 properties in Taree and 19 properties in Barraba. The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) said the river at Wingham reached 8.9 metres early on Thursday morning. In Taree the SES is setting up evacuation centres at Taree PCYC and Taree High School. In Barraba, the Manilla River reached 5.7 metres on Thursday morning. Bellingen, which was heavily flooded last week, is once again cut in two after the Bellinger River spilled over its banks. Thirteen flood warnings remain in place for river systems across NSW, with rain expected to spread to the Hunter region, the Illawarra and metropolitan Sydney later on Thursday. "This is a campaign of flood events that are likely to stay around for some time," Det Comm Pearce said. Roads closed Newell Highway closed between Narrabri and the Queensland Border Carnarvon Highway closed between Moree and Mungindi Gwydir Highway closed between Warialda and Collarenebri Oxley Highway closed between Gunnedah and Tamworth Thunderbolts Way closed between Uralla and Bundarra Waterfall Way alternating traffic between Dorrigo and Bellingen due to road surface damage; caution should be taken with water over the road just past Bellingen Failford Road, Failford closed between Pacific Highway and Tuncurry Road. |

Quoting washingtonian115:Chuck is not so bad.. In fact, he was a true world champion...On November 24, 1968, he avenged his defeat to Delgado and by doing so won the Professional Middleweight Karate champion title, which he held for six consecutive years.[8] In 1969, he won Karate's triple crown for the most tournament wins of the year, and the Fighter of the Year award by Black Belt Magazine. Chuck Norris retired with a karate record of 183–10–2. It is occasionally cited that Norris made history in 1997 when he was the first Westerner in the documented history of Tae Kwon Do to be given the rank of 8th Degree Black Belt Grand Master.[12] However, Norris appears to have been misled about this as there were at least two other U.S. Black Belts (Charles 'Chuck' Sereff and Edward Sell[13][14]) awarded TKD 8th Dan several years prior. On July 1, 2000, Norris was presented the Golden Lifetime Achievement Award by the World Karate Union Hall of Fame. |

The truly heroic men and women who undergo rigorous mental and physical training, and risk agonizing injury or death, to defend our communities against an enemy more relentless than any human foe.
This fairly new word in English usage is stronger than the older word for the same concept. Back when only men would be firefighters, they were called firemen. Using the word "firefighter" may have been sparked by ideas of "political correctness," but the result is a word that conveys its meaning more vividly and forcefully than before. (Arguing the merits and problems of political correctness in general is something I will leave for others. All I say here is that the coining of this particular word has been a good thing for the English language.)
There are many types of firefighters. One distinction is between the volunteer firefighter and the professional firefighter. Another is between the urban firefighter who fights structure fires and the wildland firefighter, who fights forest fires. A distinction is often drawn between engine and truck firefighters, based on the differing capabilities of their apparatus. The increasing role of the fire service in emergency medical services has meant that many if not most firefighters are also EMTs and some are paramedics. Some specializations of firefighting include working the rescue squad, becoming a HAZMAT specialist or arson investigator, or being promoted to command positions.

Tall, Dark & Handsome Pie
Author Notes: This is a mile-high to die for pie said I!! What a crowd pleaser...the men in my family loved it, the women were swooning over it and, in fact, named it! I based this on a recipe in Saveur Magazine with some extra touches and some explanations that help the finished result. It is definitely NOT low calorie, but my philosophy is, eat light and indulge in a sliver of good things...life is short! - GirlCook
Serves 6-8
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" cubes and chilled plus more for pie plate
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 9-oz. package chocolate wafers, such as Nabisco, finely ground (about 2 1/4 cups) **see note below
- 3 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 2/3 cup plus 2 TBS sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 9 Egg yolks
- 9 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 2/1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (1 1/2 tsp for filling and 1 tsp for topping)
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- Dark Chocolate for garnish
- MAKE FILLING: Heat half-and-half in a 4-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat until it just begins to simmer; remove pan from heat. In a large bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup sugar and cornstarch; add egg yolks and whisk until smooth, (this will take several minutes of continuous whipping with a your whisk). Drizzle half-and-half into egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until smooth. Return mixture to saucepan; heat over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until bubbles rise to the surface and mixture is very thick, 3-4 minutes. (Watch this very carefully and whisk constantly.) Remove pan from heat and add remaining 8 TBS. of butter and both semisweet and unsweetened chocolate in small batches, whisking until smooth; stir in 1 1/2 ts. vanilla. Add the espresso at this time if using. (Note: do this all swiftly and whisk it continously to keep it smooth). Set a sieve over a medium bowl and strain chocolate mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing plastic onto surface; refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
- MAKE THE CRUST: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of 9" glass pie plate with butter; set aside. Heat 8 TBS butter and brown sugar in a 1-qt. saucepan until sugar dissolves. Transfer butter mixture to a medium bowl; stir in ground wafers. Transfer mixture to pie plate, press into bottom and sides using the bottom of a measuring cup to compress crust. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Bake until set, about 15 minutes; let cool. (Check after 10 minutes into cooking to ensure cookies do not blacken/if it's overcooked, it gets very hard).
- ASSEMBLE THE PIE: Remove plastic wrap from chocolate filling and, using a rubber spatula, stir mixture until smooth. Spoon mixture into reserved crust, forming a dome, and smooth surface with the spatula. In a large bowl, whisk remaining sugar, remaining vanilla, and heavy cream until stiff peaks form (or use your stand mixer with whip attachment); spread on top of filling, forming a dome.Using a peeler, shave some of the dark chocolate onto top of pie. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- This pie looks AMAZING...a mile high! **A word on those chocolate wafers. First of all, they're hard to find and when you do, they are more than $4 for a small box of them, ridiculous. Sure, you could use oreo crumbs, but this would move the pie from the sophisticated cocoa dream to a more traditional sweet pudding pie. So the wafers are worth looking for and worth the price...although I am going to research a recipe for homemade chocolate wafers!

Laura great idea! Will try this!!

I made this over the weekend, it was delicious! And I used 1/2 of the leftover egg whites to make a meringue circle, (with some chopped dark chocolate swirled in), and placed it over the cookie crust, but under the chocolate pudding. Gave it a nice extra bit of gooey ness.

Oh Boy! This is so good with our local Hawaiian Dark 78% cacao chocolate. Topped the pie with dk. chocolate covered cacao nibs.

This is my niece's favorite pie. I made a chocolate meringue for her a couple of months ago and she liked it. The chocolate cookie crust will be better than just my usual crust. Why doesn't anybody make chocolate pie anymore?
about 5 years ago nannydeb
That looks fabulous! I'll try your recipe!
about 5 years ago GirlCook
Hi nannydeb, I hope you get to make it, please let me know what you think, it has been such a big hit in my family! A note: the longer it's in the fridge, the better, it was even better the next day, looked awesome when cut and tasted even better!

Adobe Sneak Peeks Offer Glimpse at Upcoming Technology
At its MAX conference, Adobe showed off Sneak Peeks at hot, new technology coming out of its labs.
Adobe gave folks a look at some early, in-the-works technology, including "Perspective Warp" in Photoshop and "Video Color Grading" in After Effects, at this week's Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles. The digital media and marketing software company presented a behind-the-scenes look at cutting-edge design and interactive technologies at Adobe MAX, The Creativity Conference. Focused on creativity and expressiveness, MAX brings together more than 5,000 creative industry professionals. Known as MAX Sneak Peeks, these glimpses offer an opportunity to see inside Adobe's engineering labs and to preview breakthrough applications and features during their early stages of development. For example, the new Camera Shake Reduction tool that analyzes and corrects blur from camera movement, which was just unveiled as part of the newly announced Adobe Photoshop CC, was first shown publicly at MAX Sneak Peeks in October 2011. "The Sneaks embody the spirit and passion for technology innovation that thrives at Adobe," said David Wadhwani, senior vice president and general manager of the Digital Media Business at Adobe, in a statement. "The presentations are always a sensation at Adobe MAX; the energy and enthusiasm from the audience is electric and demonstrate that our creative customers are always ready to embrace the new."

In the summer of 1964, promoting her movie The Carpetbaggers, American actress Carroll Baker attended a premiere at London's Plaza Theatre in Piccadilly Circus wearing a $28,000.00 transparent dress from designer Pierre Balmain. She had worn it before at the U.S. premiere in June, which means Londoners had an inkling what they were going to see, but what resulted was, well, a circus. The crowd went nuts and the situation devolved into what some newspapers described as a near riot. The above National Examiner, published today in 1972, features Baker wearing what we noticed was a similar but not identical dress. We got curious where it came from, and so we went looking.

Something we've had lying around for two years, this is the week we finally get to share this Japanese poster for the 1968 Summer Olympic Games in Mexico City. History books and our fathers tell us what a turbulent Olympiad that was. It was the height of Vietnam and the civil rights struggle, and African American runners Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised up a black power salute on the medal podium while the U.S. national anthem was played. That is the event many seem to remember, but of great importance was the Mexican government's massacre of unarmed student protestors in the Tlatelolco barrio of Mexico City. Although it happened before the Olympics began, the protest was tied to the games because part of the students' dissatisfaction had to do with the Mexican government's spending of the equivalent of $7.5 billion to stage the event. Meanwhile, in Europe, the Soviet Union had invaded Czechoslovakia, prompting medal winner Vera Caslavska to turn her head away during the playing of the Soviet anthem. 1968—you wouldn't really call it a good year. But at least we have this good poster.

We're doubling up on Confidential this weekend because we have so many. Here's another February issue, this one from 1967, with an unusual white cover featuring actor George Hamilton. What was the big deal about him joining the army? Well, he was dating Lynda Bird Johnson, who happened to be the daughter of Lady Bird Johnson, who happened to be the wife of president Lyndon Baines Johnson. Pro-Vietnam War Confidential is urging him to prove to America that he was not passed over in the draft because of his connection to the White House. The idea of pressing for men such as Hamilton to be inducted also seemed to make sense to the anti-war left, which believed putting the scions of high society in jeopardy would hasten the end of the country's Asian misadventure. You see that strategy being carried out below, by three members of the Ad Hoc Committee to Draft George Hamilton. We have no data on whetherpushing for more upper class draftees hastened the end of the war, and we doubt any exists. But it's true that minority participation and casualties fell as the conflict progressed—though the numbers didn't shift as radically as many people think. As far as whether Hamilton's relationship with Lynda Bird Johnson actually kept him out of Southeast Asia, officially at least, Hamilton was passed over because he represented the sole means of support for his mother. But as Confidential succintly put it: "As sole support of your mother you escaped the draft. Now you have $1,000,000, a Rolls Royce, and a 39-room house. So what's holding you back, tiger?"

Above, one of the most important photographic images of the twentieth century, a Pulitzer Prize winner shot by photographer Eddie Adams. On a sweltering Saigon afternoon, a Viet Cong officer is executed by South Vietnamese national police chief Brig. Gen Nguyen Ngoc Loan, forty-two years ago today. There's also a widely seen film of the gruesome incident. The photo galvanized the U.S. anti-war effort, but interestingly, Adams regretted taking it, saying that the circumstances around such a photo could never be adequately explained and Nguyen Ngoc Loan appeared to be a villain when perhaps he wasn't. Such complex considerations are no longer a serious worry for war photographers. Due to Pentagon restrictions, it's highly unlikely an image like this could now be captured.

We ran across this 1970s-era Japanese celebrity magazine Movie Information featuring Chris Noel on the cover and absolutely had to repost it. She was a notable figure during the Vietnam War due to her "A Date with Chris" radio program, which she broadcast twice weekly to American troops. The show was immensely popular. In fact she was thought by the Viet Cong to be such a morale boost that they reportedly placed a $10,000 bounty on her head. They never managed to kill her, but helicopters in which she rode often took ground fire, and two crash-landed with her aboard. Her efforts to make personal contact with U.S. troops wereremarkable when you consider she had already established herself in b-movies and on television and may have been on the verge of becoming a star. Yet she put Hollywood on hold and instead became a radio broadcaster in a war zone. After Vietnam she tried to return to movies but the reception in Tinseltown was icy for a minor actress who was perceived to have supported a U.S. war of aggression. Eventually she gave up and opened a shelter for homeless veterans, which she still runs today. All in all it's a remarkable—perhaps even movie-worthy—story.

1. THERE are three departments of architecture: the art of building, the making of time-pieces, and the construction of machinery. Building is, in its turn, divided into two parts, of which the first is the construction of fortified towns and of works for general use in public places, and the second is the putting up of structures for private individuals. There are three classes of public buildings: the first for defensive, the second for religious, and the third for utilitarian purposes. Under defence comes the planning of walls, towers, and gates, permanent devices for resistance against hostile attacks; under religion, the erection of fanes and temples to the immortal gods; under utility, the provision of meeting places for public use, such as harbours, markets, colonnades, baths, theatres, promenades, and all other similar arrangements in public places.

In-joke: The fighters are named Ray Regis and Carlos Hiraldo. Their last names are references to talk show hosts Regis Philbin and Geraldo Rivera (Hiraldo and Geraldo are both pronounced the same). Which adds an extra layer of humor to the big fight - Regis vs. Hiraldo/Geraldo - as noted by listening to the commentators during the fight who generally call the participants by their last names only.

my 07 tacoma DC has developed an annoying sound: a small rattling/ticking noise in the passenger window. It's only happens over roughish round, and it only happens when the window is rolled up. So about 1/2 rolled down it goes away. Like the rubber seals aren't holding it tight enough and it's rattling around just the tiniest bit?
I pushed, pulled, and prodded at the seals to make sure it is all tight, but no avail.

The frequency of intense hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean seems to be closely connected to long-term trends in the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and the West African monsoon, according to new research from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI; Falmouth, Mass.). Geologists Jeff Donnelly and Jonathan Woodruff made that discovery while assembling the longest-ever record of hurricane strikes in the Atlantic basin, according to a WHOI news release.Donnelly and Woodruff began reconstructing the history of land-falling hurricanes in the Caribbean in 2003 by gathering sediment-core samples from Laguna Playa Grande on Vieques (Puerto Rico), an island extremely vulnerable to hurricane strikes. They examined the cores for evidence of storm surges — distinctive layers of coarse-grained sands and bits of shell interspersed between the organic-rich silt usually found in lagoon sediments — and pieced together a 5000-year chronology of land-falling hurricanes in the region.In examining the record, they found large and dramatic fluctuations in hurricane activity, with long stretches of frequent strikes punctuated by lulls that lasted many centuries, the news release notes. The team then compared their new hurricane record with existing paleoclimate data on El Niño, the West African monsoon, and other global and regional climate influences. They found the number of intense hurricanes (categories 3, 4, and 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale) typically increased when El Niño was relatively weak and the West African monsoon was strong."The processes that govern the formation, intensity, and track of Atlantic hurricanes are still poorly understood," said Donnelly, an associate scientist in the WHOI Department of Geology and Geophysics. "Based on this work, we now think that there may be some sort of basinwide 'on–off switch' for intense hurricanes."Donnelly and Woodruff published their latest results in the May 24 issue of the journal Nature.For more information, contact Donnelly at email@example.com.
Excessive levels of fecal bacteria were to blame for almost 60% of Nebraska streams deemed impaired by federal and state environmental laws in 2004, according to a news release from the American Society of Agronomy (ASA; Madison, Wis.). In order to develop effective pollution control strategies, it is important for researchers to identify the source of contamination. By using multiple methods, or a "toolbox" approach, to determine the origin of fecal pollution in streams, researchers were able to identify the source of fecal bacteria with greater certainty than if testing with a single method. In collaboration with the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the University of Cincinnati, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists used a toolbox approach when investigating the sources of fecal bacteria within the Plum Creek watershed in south-central Nebraska. The scientists report their findings in the May–June 2007 issue of the Journal of Environmental Quality.In 2001, monitoring studies by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality named Plum Creek the most contaminated tributary to the middle reaches of the Platte River. The researchers used two fecal source-tracking tools to analyze contaminated water and stream-sediment samples in the Plum Creek watershed. The source-tracking tools use genetic material from bacteria collected in water and sediment samples to determine their source, either by comparing the genetic material with that of known fecal bacteria sources or by looking for a "marker" within the genetic material that is associated with a specific fecal source. The results revealed that cattle and wildlife were the dominant sources of fecal bacteria found in water and stream sediment samples at the main study site, located in an upper reach of the creek, the ASA news release notes."While the two methods led to similar overall interpretations, using both methods together gave us a clearer picture of potential sources and the strengths and weaknesses of the methods used," said USGS hydrologist Jason Vogel, lead author of the study report. "Additionally, results from bacteria found in stream-bottom sediment also suggest that different tools for tracking fecal contamination may have varying relevance to the more specific goal of tracking the sources of E. coli in water or soil within the watershed."Ongoing studies at USGS and EPA are testing the use of microorganisms as tools for tracking fecal contamination. Fecal bacteria can enter watersheds from specific sources, such as wastewater treatment outfalls, and from diffuse sources, such as runoff from fields where livestock waste has been applied as fertilizer. Determining the source of the bacteria is necessary to implement appropriate pollution control practices and comply with water quality standards required by the Clean Water Act. Further research is needed to continue to develop and refine existing and new tools for identifying the sources of fecal contamination in water and sediment, according to ASA.To read the Journal of Environmental Quality article, see jeq.scijournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/joenq;36/3/718.
