Keeping it REAL in the Kitchen
Sometimes when I least expect it, stories are unearthed that help me re-shape and re-think the very premise of my blog, food and our connection to it. Over the weekend on NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday, I heard a story about how a REAL chef creates pastes, pestos and other assorted culinary delights with a mortar and a pestle, not electronic devices. At the heart of the story, however, I found that the mortar and pestle represent something greater than just objects being used to get a job done. These tools are extensions of ourselves, (thank you Philip Hensher for this concept) and allow us to come closer to the core of what it means to prepare food for not just ourselves, but for others.
What do I mean?
There are a number of electronic devices that were created, essentially to help us consolidate our kitchen time. All of you working women and workingmen try this new (Insert Crazy Kitchen Gadget Here) and save yourself 15 minutes in the kitchen during meal prep! This is of course, if you're the type of patron who bothers creating a meal for yourself, beyond hitting the 'cook time' button on your microwave. (No judgment placed here, really.). And though I am certainly an advocate of time efficiency, (ask my husband :P) I also feel as though we are short-changing ourselves as consumers if we turn the process of nourishing our body into a race to the finish line, a gormandizing fit, a gluttonous charade. It is because I have these feelings that I also have a sense of urgency to share them (my feelings) with you, in hopes that you too, will momentarily contemplate your kitchen habits, and perhaps those reflections of 'pace' will spill over into other parts of your already drenched schedules.
So, I'm sure to some degree, I am preaching to the choir, but I stand on this soap box in hopes to penetrate even those of you who've made thoughtful kitchen behavior a common practice because it is my understanding that a soft nudge or kind reminder, never hurt anybody. I would like to use the rest of this blog post to go over a few ways in which you could stylistically approach your time in the kitchen and still come out feeling time-fulfilled. Connecting yourself to the food that you're about to eat will make a world of difference, and an essential place to start is the heart of any home, the kitchen.
- Use your HANDS…Salads: When preparing greens that come on big-stemmed leaves, rip away! For at least one part of your meal prep you can forget about the sharp tools and get your hands moving. For example, take large kale leaves and in a downward motion, cup your hands around the leaves at the farthest end of the stem from the tip, pull the bulk of the leaf off of the stem. Repeat, and after all of your bundle is complete, rip up each leaf into smaller pieces. Rinse. You can get multiple leaves done at once by stacking them and ripping in vertical motions, then re-stacking and ripping in horizontal motions. If my wonderful explanation (ahem) wasn't what you needed, just know that you're doing yourself a disservice if you spend time cutting these greens, over ripping. Additionally, texture is a big factor in salads and nobody wants to taste over-manipulated greens.
- REUSE: In a world where naturalresourcesare being depleted (sorry for the doom & gloom) and so much of what we purchase is chemical laden, I'm and advocate of re-use. Of course, having new, shiny objects is fun and oddly fulfilling to the aesthetic side of us all, but I say, why not re-use in ways that will bring you a tad closer to your purchases and your food? For instance–forgive me, this is not a novel idea–but I re-use old jars for a multitude of things: homemade sauces, dressings, marinades, smoothies, juices, teas, left-overs, and most recently a co-worker gave me the idea of strategically layering a salad in a wide-mouth jar for freshness. This is just one example, but there are many more ways to reuse in your kitchen. Please, tell me some of your favorite things to re-purpose.
- Go NUTS: Yes, you could buy those nuts in a cardboard, foil lined container with salt added and a pre-roasted label, but will these nuts really work for you and your body? Are they really the freshest? Hmm….Granted, the idea I'm about to cover is something that is of more convenience in the cold weather months if you don't have a dehydrator, but either way, check this out. Take your raw nuts and soak them in water with apple cider vinegar for 6 to 8+ hours (depending on the density of the nut–i.e. almonds need to soak longer). Rinse them and then spread evenly onto a cookie sheet. Season according to your tastes. Set your oven to its lowest setting and dry out the nuts. Lightly toast them to increase top absorption of minerals like zinc (walnuts). Trust me, this does seem tedious, but most of the work is done for you while those nuts are soaking. Why soaking your nuts is important: You can counteract enzyme inhibitors and break down phytic acid and tannins which are not digestible and inhibit you from actually absorbing that much-needed zinc, etc.
Below is a list of useful items in the kitchen that remain both useful and important in the line of connected cooking and food prep:
- timer (If you're in an old-school kitchen as I am, you'll need a cute little timer to keep track of your cooking times, forget about the cell phone and try for a simple device you devote to your kitchen space.)
- mortar and pestle (Open up the life of your herbs and spices with this grinding device, that can be extended to many more purposes in your kitchen.)
- ceramic knife and steel cleaver knife with sharpener (Ceramic is more precise and useful for vegetable prep, from my experience, but not especially good for cutting through thick skins of winter squashes like acorn and butternut. This is when I would recommend getting a steel cleaver and learn to sharpen it on your own. This is an upcoming challenge for me.)
- hand whisk (Reduces time and acts as another type of bodily extension in cooking.)
- spatula (I couldn't live without my spatulas, waste not!)
- manual juicer (Sometimes a little elbow grease is needed.)
- hand crank can opener (For those who use canned goods.)
- sieve (Assists in the post-soaking process of fine grains.)
- cast iron skillet (Use as a pan for baking in the oven and on your stove-top for iron distribution).
- bamboo spoons
- crock pot
- spray bottles (Make your own oil sprays for salads!)
The manner in which you do or do not utilize your kitchen (be it small or large) is up to you, but one area to easily initiate a close bond with your edibles, is here! After such a massive food holiday (Thanksgiving), food connection is certainly a pertinent topic to keep in mind; I hope you will. Please, send your commentary, criticisms and thoughts my way; I would love to hear from you.
And remember…bite responsibly!
Healthy Regards,

A PALE blue dot. That's what Earth looked like from the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990. But if Earth has a twin out there, it has yet to show up on any photograph – even as a dot. That could change now that a plan to use a space umbrella to shade a telescope from the light of an alien sun is back on the table.
Called Starshade, the mission is an old idea that US researchers are now reviving. Most recently, they unfurled a half-size mock-up of the shade, as shown in the video above.
"This is the first time we've actually seen this thing deploy," says team member Jeremy Kasdin of Princeton University. "That was a huge accomplishment."
One way to look for exoplanets, used by NASA's Kepler space telescope, is to look for the dip in starlight as a planet passes in front of its star. That can reveal its size but not whether it hosts chemicals friendly to life, such as water. The light from larger planets can be seen directly, but those as small as Earth cannot.
Firefly in a searchlight
"This is a challenging problem," says exoplanet hunter Sara Seager of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, another Starshade team member. "It's like us here in Boston looking for a firefly next to a searchlight in San Francisco."
Enter project Starshade, which, more than a decade ago, was part of a planned planet-hunter that never was. The Terrestrial Planet Finder was supposed to launch between 2012 and 2015 to directly image exoplanets the same size and mass of the Earth, orbiting in the habitable zones of sun-like stars.
It included a large telescope and a shade to block starlight and allow the tiny planet to shine alone, but in 2005, it was postponed due to budget restrictions.
Then in January, NASA revived the idea, convening a team to get going on a smaller, cheaper version of the original Starshade concept.
Last month, on 28 August, this culminated in the unfurling demo shown above, which took place at a Northrop Grumman Corporation laboratory in Goleta, California, where the mock-up was built.
Petal avoidance
The shade is shaped like a flower because of the wave nature of light. Light waves would bend around a circle, say, like ripples around a rock in a stream, and could create bright spots brighter than the planets astronomers hoped to detect. The petals avoid this.
The team is working towards having a mission concept that costs no more than $1 billion by 2015, when it will compete with another exoplanet mission, an X-ray telescope and a dark energy telescope for NASA cash.
That price tag means the mission probably won't buy a big enough telescope to find many Earths. "We're going to have to be lucky," Seager says. But at least it's a proof of concept.
She points out that alien life might not produce or consume the same chemicals as life on Earth, so another strand to the mission is working out what to look for. "The question is, how are we going to look for biosignature gases when we have no idea what we're doing?" she says. "We're so terracentric right now, it's kind of limiting."

I have an 8310 which I replaced a week ago through warranty. I had no problem for the first 5 days but since Friday my phone has started to delete phone logs and sms (fortunately not e-mails yet). Do I need to replace it again or is this a network issue because I have sold this phone to a lot of customers backing the berry over the iphone and others. Now this is a problem I haven't seen with the pearl so it leads me to believe that it is a phone issue. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. No problem with calls I still think the berry makes the best overall phone in terms of calling.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Who Sampled
It was one of those days yesterday. A casual comment about the choice of office music led to an all-day discussion on who sampled which artists first, where the sample came from originally and which decade was better - the eighties or nineties, etc, etc, etc... You know the kind of day - all offices have them.
My own favourite bit of sampling trivia is that for My Name Is, Eminem sampled a little known tune by Labe Siffre - yes, that Labe Siffre of Something Inside So Strong fame. Strange, but true - you can ask the Internet.
But as a result of our nostalgic musical musings, this site surfaced: www.whosampled.com,
It's setting out to find the source of any and every sample, so discussion like ours won't rumble on and on. A quick check and you'll have your answer.
It's definitely one for music trivia buffs and old school hip hop fans, and just goes to show that office banter can sometimes dig up some very useful stuff.

NORTONVILLE, Kan. (AP) _ An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.1 is considered small anywhere and would be barely noted in quake-prone areas.
But a temblor of that intensity felt in northeast Kansas early Friday was one of only a few recorded in the region in 150 years, Don Steeples, a University of Kansas geophysicist, said Monday.
The temblor struck at 3:15 a.m. CDT Friday, 3 miles north of Nortonville in far northern Jefferson County, according to the National Earthquake Information Center Web site.
No damage or injuries were reported.
``I got an e-mail from one of my students who said it woke her family up,'' said Steeples.
Records show a small earthquake was felt in 1881 at the Leavenworth-Douglas County lines and a minor quake was recorded in 1902 south of Lawrence, he said. The largest-ever earthquake recorded in Kansas was in 1867 between Wamego and Manhattan, and registered between 5.2 and 5.5.

Learning from my Mistakes
I read the news today – oh boy.
That was my homage to the Beatles and it appropriately captures my feeling. What the news I read was you'll learn in a minute but first a little background.
People don't get rich over night. Hard work, careful planning, luck, good choices, timing and smart investments all play a role in gaining wealth. But even when you know what the good choice is and the time is right it doesn't mean you can or will do the right thing.
My road to wealth began when I decided to save for my own home. My decision to work toward that goal was made long before I was out of school and once I began working full time I saved as much as I could. When I was 25, thanks to working quite a bit of overtime, I bought my first home, a townhouse.
I couldn't afford much and since I lived in the northeast, near a major city, I would have to look quite a distance away. About 45 miles south of the city I found an area I could afford that I would feel comfortable living in. After looking at both new developments and existing units, I decided on the townhouse I would eventually buy.
At this time I hadn't been following the real estate market anywhere near as closely as I do now. I had no idea that this was a particularly soft time to be selling a home. I offered $92,000 for the townhouse and although the owner had turned down more in the past, he accepted. Those higher offers were long gone and he was forced to sell to me for less than he originally paid. Yes real estate can lose value.
What I didn't know and what is so hard to know is that I bought near, if not at, the very end of this soft patch. Life happens, and in the next few years my life changed significantly. In just four years I moved out of my townhouse and into a new home my future wife and I had built (after her house burned down). Now came the question of what to do with the townhouse.
My gut feeling was to keep it and rent it. I could easily afford it even without a tenant and my future wife could afford her house since she had it before meeting me. This would have been an easy choice if I didn't hate the homeowner's association. I couldn't bear the thought of having to deal with them any longer than I needed to, however so I decided to sell.
Rather than give a realtor six percent I decided to sell it myself. This was the second mistake with the first being the decision to sell. Not that selling a house on your own is a bad idea, on the contrary I think it makes perfect sense, but you have to do your homework and price it properly. I didn't. So eager to get away from the evil homeowner's association I accepted the first offer for $113,000. That represents a profit of a bit over $5,000 a year. Not a bad return but it could have been better.
The couple I sold it to were very nice and another deal they were close to making had recently fallen through so I was glad to be able to give them some good news. I'm not a greedy person and while I could have backed out of the deal and waited for a better offer I was happy with my profit.
What I didn't know was that while the price had appreciated nicely over the four years I owned it, it was nothing compared to what would come over the next four or five years. Yesterday I opened the newspaper to check the prices of recent home sales in the area and saw my former townhouse was sold by the people I sold it to. What I couldn't believe was the price.
What I bought for $92,000 and sold for $113,000 just sold for $275,000. I have achieved a lot over the years and yes, I'm a millionaire but that doesn't change the fact that even successful people make mistakes. I should have kept the townhouse and rented it out but I simply couldn't see it then.
I'm satisfied with my decisions so far and if I'm comfortable at the time of making a decision, then I shouldn't have any regrets. I should, and have, learned from my mistakes and it's that ability that will serve me well in the future. No one has all the answers.

When I was little, I always gave my mom a hard time about making orzo. I picked a fight every time we ate it because "it's not pasta, it's rice!" and would have to sit there and (un)patiently listen to her tell me that it is, in fact, pasta. It was a whole big thing. But I'm over it (sorry, Mom). Even though it still LOOKS a lot like rice. Just saying.
Anywho, my mom sent me some
rice orzo in a care package awhile back, and I recently discovered the last half of the package sitting in my pantry. "Eureka!" I thought. "I'll make some orzo!" [Read more…]

What is coconut cream?
Coconut cream is a type of coconut milk, the creamy liquid that comes from pressing fresh coconut meat. The difference between coconut milk and coconut cream is the consistency. Coconut cream is very thick, almost paste-like, and contains much less water than coconut milk does. It has a creamy, slightly oily texture to it and a distinct coconut flavor and is good for use in ... Read More »

I am a big fan of coconut and try to use it in recipes whenever I can.

Perhaps it's comforting to not have – or to ... Read More »

The reconstruction of a three-week old damaged bridge linking Swaggart Island with Bassa Town, and Riverview Communities opposite Stephen Tolbert Estate in District #12, Montserrado County, has commenced.
According to the Co-chairman of Bridge Reconstruction Committee, Rev. John S.W. Nyorkor, Representative Richmond Anderson of District #12 has contributed 14 bags of cement for the reconstruction process.
Rev. Nyorkor stated that Public Works Ministry has also agreed to help in the reconstruction process with red dirt, sand, rocks and engineers to do the work.
He disclosed that the cost for reconstructing the bridge is over US$17,000.
Residents in the area are said to be giving contributions for the bridge project. Each house has been charged to pay an amount of L$400.00 as contribution. The decision to support the project was reached at a community meeting two weeks ago.
The community which has over 15,000 residents is responsible to provide 75 bags of cement, 35 pieces of planks, 25 pieces of round poles, one carton of nails, 280 gallons of fuel, among others for the reconstruction of the bridge, Rev. Nyorkor said.
Rev. Nyorkor is encouraging all residents to contribute to ensure that the bridge is reconstructed as quickly as possible.

Please see the name of the thread.
I also had noticed the same issue with the axis of the front fork and had though I only need a target to point the forks to, I tried to use a new null , but I do not know enogh about setting these up.
But at least i am trying to work things out myself, and it seems I am on the right track.
(FWIW) I do not know this term, what are you saying!
But the good news is that I've already made some cursory checks, and I can tell you that the problem is 100% soluble.
When I'm finished, will I be able to upload my RAR file to you on that website?
Thankyou so much for all this help
Re that website I will need to setup to many things in order to do this for you.
I will pm you with my contact details.
I am curious what are you using to fix the model HEX or blender?
You will when you take a look at my uv-mapping in only some cases I have done this at least someway correctly.
BTW, I can have this model with the current level of detail open in blender and daz and poser at the same time without any issues.
Blender most recent update, daz studio pro 4.5 and poser 8.

There is going to be a big cheer going up shortly for frequent Delta Air Lines customers to Nigeria. The US major is upgrading the route from a Boeing 767-300 to a 777-200ER. And not before time some might say, and have been saying on the Airline Business blog in recent days.
Delta has been on the receiving end of plenty of criticism about the quality of its service on this route. After reading this flurry of activity I thought it was high time to interview the carrier and find out what it thinks about its Nigerian operations.
The man is the frame is Delta's commercial manager west and east Africa Bobby Bryan. He's been responsible for the airline's operation in Nigeria for 18 months and is an experienced hand in the region having before that spent two-and-a-half years with Air France-KLM in the country.
Bryan is delighted that from 1 July, the carrier is putting 777s on the route: "These 777s are brand new with AVOD (audio video on demand) throughout the cabin and all-leather seating – it is very much a state-of-the-art aircraft."
The 777s will offer 50 business class seats and 218 seats in economy, compared to 36 and 181 respectively for the 767.
Delta has come in for a lot of stick about its service quality on the 767s and in particular about the quality of its in-flight entertainment product. "We don't think a lot of it is accurate," says Bryan, but he is open about another issue – baggage.
Bags, bags, bags
"Most of the customer service issues focus on baggage. The average Nigeria passenger travels with five bags – this was something we had not anticipated," says Bryan.
Delta launched the Atlanta-Lagos route (its first as part of the African element of its international expansion) in December 2007. "In the early days we were leaving bags behind and we did run some extra segments with 777s to bring bags over," says Bryan.
To get over this problem, Delta imposed an embargo on excess baggage (giving only the standard international bag allowances), which avoided bags behind left behind but did irritate those Nigerian traders who liked to move goods on this route.
"The 777 will enable us to go into different markets in Nigeria," says Bryan. "Those traders who want to go to the US to buy consumer goods [can now use the Delta 777 flight]. Before we were not able to carry their bags. Now we will be able to join in that market, and it is not insignificant."
In addition, Delta has worked with the Nigerian authorities to change the outbound flight from Lagos to a nighttime departure. "This means we will have connecting opportunities we didn't have before to destinations in the oil producing areas in the south [of Nigeria]. Previously people had to come the night before and then take the morning flight."
From 10 June, Delta will begin its second route to Nigeria. The service between New York's JF Kennedy Airport and Nigerian capital Abuja will tap a different market to that of Lagos. "It is not an oil and traders market it is very much government, NGOs and a students market. There has never been a direct service from Abuja to the US," says Bryan.
Delta will use an ex-Song (Delta's former low-fare brand) 757-200 with 16 business and 155 economy seats on the route. "This is a premium aircraft to open up a new route," says Bryan. The 757s feature AVOD across the cabins and are refurbished with leather seats.
Strong market
Delta is pleased with its Nigerian routes, which averages loads of over 80%. "It is a premium market not only up front but also in the back," says Bryan.
After the UK, the USA is the next biggest market in terms of traffic for Nigeria. Until Delta's arrival, the direct market had been underserved. "Our African expansion has gone very well – cities in this region are strong performers and we are serving markets that were crying out for additional service to North America," says Bryan.
"Nigeria is a country with incredible potential. Over the medium-term we expect to develop our activities there," says Bryan.
But there is more competition coming, with local carrier Arik Air planning to begin service from Lagos to New York in the third quarter.
Bryan claims Arik's arrival is no bad thing. "Competition develops the market and we would welcome Nigerian carriers to North America. The market is large enough to handle several carriers. We see them as co-developers of the market."
Dedicated aircraft
Some of the comment about Delta's operations centred on whether it dedicated aircraft to this route or not. According to Bryan: "Very few airlines allocate a specific aircraft to a specific route."
By the end of June Delta will serve nine cities in seven countries in Africa.

AUBURN, Ala. -- St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher is one of the big names that keeps popping up in public forums when surmising who Auburn might consider to replace Gene Chizik.
Fisher's son, Trent, is a former walk-on safety for the Tigers who earned a scholarship before this season and had a chance to shine in the final two games. Other than that, Fisher's interest in the job is unknown.
Something to consider: rarely do successful NFL head coaches bolt for the not-so-greener pastures of college football, where salaries are lower but headaches are higher in terms of recruiting responsibilities, NCAA compliance commandments, and the like.
There are 106 currently-employed head coaches at Division I universities. Only a half-dozen have ever been the head man for a single NFL game.
And get this: even those six have not been very successful.
There are some pretty good college coaches in that company. Alabama's Nick Saban, South Carolina's Steve Spurrier, Oregon State's Mike Riley and UCLA's Jim Mora Jr. each lead top-20 programs. USC's Lane Kiffin and Southern Methodist's June Jones, solid in their own right, round out the list.
But the group's combined NFL record is 100-156 -- a 39 percent success clip. None individually has a winning percentage at the professional record.
As for Fisher? He would shake up the list completely. He's 150-132-1 in 18 years coaching the Oilers, Titans and Rams, a man who has coached more days in his life in the Super Bowl (XXXIV) than he has in college football.
Throw in the fact his salary ($7 million) is double what Chizik made, and it's not a stretch to call it a major upset if Auburn lured Fisher to the Plains.
For the record, ESPN's Jon Gruden has rebuffed rumors he's linked to Arkansas and Tennessee openings while serving as Monday Night Football color commentator. He's 100-85 in 11 years as coach of the Raiders and Buccaneers, including a Super Bowl XXXVII victory.
Gruden has not coached since 2008, and did spend four years in the college ranks from 1986-89, including a two-year graduate assistant stint for the Volunteers.

The UpTake: Cody Wilson, founder of Defense Distributed and the maker of the 3D printed Liberator handgun gets personal about what went on behind the scenes of the creation of the weapon.
When Cody Wilson released files to 3D print the Liberator handgun on May 6, 2013, the software seemed to come from out of nowhere. In reality though, the 26-year-old entrepreneur from Austin, Texas, had been working behind the scenes for weeks leading up to historic release.
Last Friday, the self-described "cyrpto-anarchist" addressed a group of his peers at the Liberty Forum during an event called "Liberator: The World's First 3D Printed Gun" in what was supposed to be a 45-minute talk about what went on during the six-week period that led up to the release.
But the talk turned into a passionate speech that included some memories that even he seemed to be surprised to be recounting.

Bid to boost tourism was all about turning Maryport into 'Merry Port'
Published at 14:03, Friday, 30 November 2012
More visitors! That's what the members of the Maryport Town Development Committee wanted back in 1930.
The committee has been set up in 1928 with the joint aim of encouraging industry to set up in the area and to develop what we would call the tourist trade in the town.
It might strike us as a bit strange nowadays but Maryport, especially its front, was at one time the preferred choice of many church and factory outings from outside West Cumbria.
And when you gaze out over the Solway, what a glorious sight it can be – if the weather's good!
Sadly, Maryport on a miserable, dark and rainy day isn't a place you'd choose to visit, unless you were intending to visit the aquarium, the museum or attend one of the town's promotions – always assuming that you, an outsider, knew these attractions existed.
And if, as an outsider, you'd ever heard of Maryport.
What the town needed was active promotion and lots of publicity – which is what the town development committee was set up to do. They had, reportedly, floated a number of ideas in the two years since they were formed, but there was one big problem – money.
Having ideas without means was, as the old Spanish proverb put it, like trying to make bread with stones.
Members of the public were invited to attend a meeting in March 1930 to see if they could get things moving. If the committee expected members of the public to turn out in force to support them, they were being unduly optimistic.
A mere 18 people turned up at the meeting.
Obviously Maryport residents were either more than a trifle apathetic or totally unaccustomed to being asked to be involved in municipal decision making. Whatever the reason, the committee had to carry on with such work as they were able to take on.
They'd wanted to embark on an ambitious programme of road building and improving the town's hotels and boarding houses, but that was beyond them. Instead they got down to raising the profile of the town by means of improved publicity.
The town had produced guidebooks before the committee was formed but had, to date, only managed to send out 50 per year. The committee succeeded in increasing this to 200 in its first year – a fourfold increase.
The committee managed to do a deal with the LMS – the regional railway company – for a joint advertising scheme. LMS would place strategic adverts for the town in various newspapers, paid for, only in part, by the committee.
It was an exercise in matched funding.
It worked. That year some 400 guides were requested by prospective tourists – or, to use the term preferred at the time, visitors. The number of holidaymakers visiting the town increased.
Members of the committee were determined, despite a lack of adequate financing, to plough on.
It's worth quoting the chairman of the committee, Tom Stokoe: "We have got to face this fact – that if we refuse to go forward now we will certainly go back.
"Don't let us lose the benefits of the past two years but rather let us add the pick to the shovel in a determined effort to turn Maryport into a 'Merry Port'."
I think "Merry Port" was going a bit too far, but this play on words did succeed in getting press coverage, which was, no doubt, what the committee chairman intended.
Even though they had to operate in a climate of economic downturn, they still managed to stay positive.
It was also decided to form a ladies' committee. It seems they hoped that members of the fair sex would be instrumental in raising funds.
So did the ladies manage to raise funds for the development of the town's holiday trade? When was this forward thinking and dynamic development committee wound up? And did any other body take its place?
Maryport has, in recent years, become known nationally, largely due to initiatives like the blues festival.
Townsfolk will now be looking to reap the benefit of the ongoing excavations into the town's Roman past – sometime in the, hopefully, not too distant future. It does seem likely to become the town's major tourist attraction.
But what of the present? With many of our local towns there does seem to be a distinct lack of what I would term drip-feed tourism, which is probably more likely to put more money into the pockets of local folk than some of the few "big" events put on annually.
As always, I want to end with a query. What was the eventual fate of the Ferryboat Inn – Maryport's one time floating restaurant?

Congrats Eddie Doucette. Well earned. One of my all time favorites. He made the game more enjoyable without overshadowing the game.
"Johnnie Mac, 22 footer on the way. BANGO, Johnny Mac!"Hide replies
He certainly did make the games fun, but lets remember, those teams were fun also.
No doubt those were some fun, exciting teams. Eddie managed to add to the excitement without getting in the way of the game. He painted a picture of the game that made me feel as if I was there.
Didn't he say something like "hot pretzel" in the lane? Eddie was great to listen too.
"In the Toaster"! Eddie was to Bucks basketball what Ueck is to Brewers baseball! The best!
Who can ever forget the nicknames? Pat "roadblock" Cummings! LOLHide replies
LOL, Badger. Plus one.
Eddie was and is a great announcer.
Lew Alcindor! " The King" !
My journey and Eddie's path had crossed many times in the past professionally. Back in the day a number of Milwaukee disc jockeys, one of which was Eddie, were hosts of a teenage discussion show on the PBS affiliate in Milwaukee. I also knew Eddie when he co-hosted a Bucks sports show on TMJ-TV with Jim Irwin. By the time Eddie got to WISN as sports director, life had had its way of dealing him personal setbacks like all of us experience, knocking him down a peg or two. He was no longer the cocky, arrogant, hot shot NBA announcer. He was a good guy.
Mokeski was the Human Speedbump
A Play by Play Master,
and worthy of the word 'savant' within his profession.
Yes, the nicknames were nice, the energy without peer.
What tugged at me, however, was his love, and passion
for what he was doing in concert with his admiration for
this Bucks franchise. Together, he rocked the our Worlds.
Congrats Eddie,
and continued good health>
An era probably never to be repeated in Milwaukee, with both a quality announcer and quality players.
And a commentary on the state of the Bucks that two blog threads are devoted to this.Hide replies
I don't know {Eddie}...
we are often witness to identical articles in both
'Bucks Blog' and "more Bucks New".....
Identical in headline and subject matter, yet,
written differently by Sir Charles.
What struck me about this thread, and again we've seen this before,
is when an article is written on a 'special human' associated with the
Bucks the bloggers seem to respect the point of article, and not go off
on other subject matter, etc. Those narratives continue on the
previous thread; leaving this thread for the specified content.
Now, all that said,
the last thread on Bucks Blog was last Thursday,.
Five days without a fresh thought in this
the land of All Star Breaks (mid season grades would fun),
Trading Deadline Looms, (any thoughts by the scribes on
anything relative to this subject matter) , and oh...about
thoughts on the Boylan Experience. A fine start dwindling
now to pedistrian-like efforts?

THE government and Britain are embarking on an ambitious project on English Language improvement to help address education quality in primary and secondary schools.
The Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, the British Council, the Volunteer Service Organization (VSO) and the UK Department for International Development (DFID) have pledged to develop the project.
The four year project, titled Education Quality Improvement Project Tanzania: English Language Teaching (EQUIP -T ELT), will be achieved through developing capacity of tutors in government Teachers Training Colleges and Student teacher to communicate in English and extend their teaching capability to teach.
Launching the project in Dar es Salaam yesterday, the Minister for Education and Vocational Training, Dr Shukuru Kawambwa, said challenges facing teaching and learning of English language include low teachers' mastery of the language, which poses communication difficulties and limited classroom interaction.
Dr Kawambwa explained that the current global development demands have made English language a crucial tool for communication in the world, making it necessary for government to find ways to help the young generation master the language.
He said teachers have been earmarked as central in ensuring the success of government's initiative of 'Big Results Now' in the education sector. The project will be implemented in 34 public teacher training colleges for four years, starting November 2012.
The minister explained that the target groups that will benefit from the project include more than 35,000 pupils and students from primary and secondary schools, 70,000 teacher trainees, 1,650 tutors, 510 head of professions and 220 school inspectors. The Millennium Development Goal Leader, Ms Liz Tayler, commended the high enrolment in schools but also noted the government's frustration over the falling quality of education.
"For this reason, we are supplementing our support to the education budget with projects in focused areas that are likely to make a real difference and this project will do this," she explained, adding that it will support all public teachers training institutions to improve English language.
Ms Tayler noted that currently, UK contributes 120bn/-to the general budget and 63bn/- to education specifically, estimating that over 400,000 children are supported through schools. The Commissioner for Education in Tanzania, Prof Eustella Bhalalusesa, said the projects targets at improving the capacity of teacher educators and student teachers with specific focus on English as the medium of instruction.
"In this, the emphasis will be on developing English language communication skills so as to build mastery and confidence in the use of the language," Prof Bhalalusesa explained.

Jos — The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has described the seven-month old workers' strike in Plateau State, which ended yesterday as all round loss, lamenting that it lost over 200 workers in the course of the struggle.
Addressing the press on the resolution that led to the calling off of the strike, the state Chairman of the NLC, Comrade Jibrin Bancir, who added that leaders were just returning from the burial of one of the union's members, said the deceased died in an accident in the course of the struggle.
He said others died out of frustrations and inaccessibility to health care due to the strike. He also added that "no enrolment into primary 1 and JSS 1 this year, meaning that pupils in public schools in Plateau State lag behind other states by one year.
"Today after seven months of strike we are settling back to what we all refused to dialogue on; it was all round loss", he regretted.
On the truce, which was achieved in Abuja after exhaustive deliberations by both members of the organised labour and the representatives of the government of the state, and mediated by the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, the NLC Chairman said the communiqué of the resolution stated that:
"The Plateau State Government should pay the salaries of workers with 55 per cent implementation of the Minimum Wage from June 2012; a. The salaries of October, November and December 2012 shall be paid as agreed immediately; b. The payment of June to September 2012 salaries will be addressed by the Governor of Plateau State, the Minister of Labour and Productivity, and the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) within one month from the date of this communiqué.
"Labour to partner the government of Plateau State to carry out screening through biometric to ascertain the actual staff strength of the local government areas within two months and the government of Plateau State in collaboration with the local government councils to intensify internally generated revenue.
"There shall be no victimisation of workers and their unions who participated in the industrial action in the state during the period. The organised labour hereby suspends the current industrial action in the state."

NTSB rips Coast Guard's oversight in boy's death
Only one — Boatswain's Mate 3rd Class Paul Ramos, the then 22-year-old boat driver — got any jail time. A military jury acquitted Ramos of negligent homicide and involuntary manslaughter.
Ramos has served his three months in the brig and is back at the San Diego Coast Guard station, awaiting post-trial processing of his case, according to one of his military attorneys.
Ramos is no longer involved in the Coast Guard's boat forces, Cmdr. Brian Koshulsky said. The former boatswain's mate is now building upon his prior paramedic training and intends to continue to serve in the Coast Guard as a health services technician, he said.

300 votes questioned
The Sevier County Election Commission certified the victory of the controversial liquor-by-the-drink referendum Monday along with other results from the Nov. 6 election, but acknowledged a complaint by an opponent of the referendum that it appears about 300 votes came from people who were neither residents nor property owners in the city.
Voters approved the referendum by a vote of 1,232 to 1,132, and the commission certified that total Monday afternoon. However, Charles Rhodes, who says he is acting as a "fact finder" for the group that opposed the referendum, told the commission he had discovered 303 votes that don't appear to have come from people living inside the city or who own property in the city.
Under Pigeon Forge's charter, people who own property inside the city can register to vote in municipal elections and Rhodes had election records showing 171 people exercised that right. The totals showed another 1,890 people who live inside the city voted in the election. That comes to a total of 2,061 votes — but the total number of votes recorded in the election was 2,364.
"How do we account for the 303 voters and not knowing if each individual voted for or against the liquor referendum, is there not a question the counts can be incorrect?" he asked the commission.
The referendum vote has been plagued by complaints that Pigeon Forge residents were denied the opportunity to vote and that people who did not live or own property in the city were allowed to vote. There have been at least four formal complaints filed by voters saying that either they live in the city, but the referendum didn't appear on their ballots, or they live outside the city and had the opportunity to vote when they shouldn't. Some have also said that an official at the polling place was taking a side on the referendum, which would be a violation of the official's oath.
Rhodes also touched on the question of improper behavior by an election official, saying a poll attendant voted himself for some voters, and he said it appeared that in some cases property owners voted improperly because more than two property owners cited the same piece of property as their basis for participating. Under the governing law, Rhodes said, no more than two owners of any property are supposed to vote.
Commissioners said they wanted to investigate Rhodes's questions and didn't try to offer any answers Monday, but they said their role in certifying the election was to make sure the total votes cast were correctly counted.
While officials are investigating the complaints, all they can do is make sure the same mistakes don't happen again in the future. State officials have also said it's not their role to overturn the election because of the complaints. In the case of people who knowingly voted on the referendum when they weren't eligible, officials said they could take the information to the district attorney general's office and it could lead to prosecution for voter fraud.
To have the election tossed out, the opponents would have to file a lawsuit to contest the election in Sevier County Chancery Court within the next five business days. To stop the state from moving ahead in the process of issuing liquor licenses to eligible businesses, they would also need to obtain a temporary injunction.
If they file the contest, they would eventually need to prove there are enough questions about whether the election followed proper procedures to make the real outcome "incurably uncertain," in the words of Mark Goins, state coordinator of elections. For this purpose, that would likely mean proving that more than 100 voters were improperly denied or allowed the chance to vote in the referendum.
Rhodes said it wasn't clear Monday if his organization, the Concerned Churches and Citizens of Pigeon Forge, would contest the election.
Out of about a dozen people who signed in to observe the certification, only one other said he was with the Concerned Churches and Citizens. Most of the others signed in as representatives of Forging Ahead, the group that campaigned in favor of the measure.
One of that group's members, Ken Maples, spoke briefly to thank election officials for their work.
There were no issues mentioned with the other elections on the ballot.

Equity Strategy Update
If we are looking at KLCI only, foreign funds had been net buyers since beginning of the year right up till the recent general elections.
In fact, the net inflows were on a rising trend right up till the elections. Following the surprising results, foreign funds took out around USD130m over the next couple of weeks. The other surprising fact was that that amount was almost matching the net inflows from beginning of the year right up till the election. Coincidence?
Since the election results, the biggest weekly net withdrawals by foreign funds had been the first two weeks following the results. Foreign funds had since then been continued net sellers in Malaysian stocks. In fact the last 3 weeks saw net outflow increasing again owing to oil price short squeeze.
The last week saw Tenaga lifting and sustaining the Composite index. The last couple of days were more significant in that the CI managed to stay flat while other Asian bourses were tumbling all around on oil price shock and heightened inflationary concerns, prompting many economies to increase reserve ratio requirement or hinting at raising interest rates. What has changed that caused Malaysian stocks to diverge from the rest? Well, the electricity rate hike and reduction in oil subsidy were viewed positively. The reduction in oil subsidy finally converted some funds to believe that Malaysia is in place to benefit from higher oil prices. Though all knew that Malaysia was a net oil exporter, the removal of subsidy caused a positive rerating on actually benefiting the overall economy with "seemingly better" resource allocation strategy.
Since I am of the opinion that the oil price bubble will come down sooner than later, and that being highly positive to equity markets in general. I have revised my buying level from 1,150 to 1,210-1,220. My view is that oil could very well drop back to US$105-110, in which case the KLCI should be pegged at 1,400 then.

Was it the World Wrestling Federation? No, just another debate on Valley secession.
Last week, the Anti-Defamation League invited representatives of both sides of the secession issue to speak on the Valley's favorite topic at Adat Ari El in North Hollywood. About 65 people attended. Representing the "pro" side were Jeff Brain, president of Valley Voters Organized Toward Empowerment (VOTE) and Earl Greinetz, the current president of the Jewish Home for the Aging and past president of the Jewish Federation's Valley Alliance. Speaking against secession were Los Angeles City Councilman Michael Feuer and H. Eric Schockman, Ph.D., an associate dean at the University of Southern California.
The debate got off to a lively start when a heckler interrupted Aaron Levinson, director of the ADL's Valley office, during his introductory run-down of the organization's current projects.
"I thought we were here to learn about secession -- what's this got to do with it?" asked the man, setting the tone of the evening for the "Just the facts, please" crowd.
Facts can be tough to get at when emotions run high, however. Feuer began by saying he felt secession was wrong for Los Angeles as a whole and for L.A. Jews in particular.
"We have a principle that says, 'Don't separate yourself from the community,'" Feuer said. "I agree the Valley should be seeking better services from the city of Los Angeles. The question is not if the desire is appropriate, but what way should that desire be achieved?

Watch Confessions of a Shopaholic film. A film "Confessions of a Shopaholic" director by P.J. Hogan. I'm not sure why people are giving this movie such a hard time. Admittedly, there are some humorous parts. Fisher does a great job playing stupid and trying to cover it up. That cutting edge charm in the star's previous roles is frequently present but with a tried and tested formulaic plot that charm is always hanging in mid air. She inadvertently gets hired to work as a journalist in (out of all places) a financial magazine. However, her overridden goal is to work as a fashion journalist in the monarchic fashion magazine "Adelle". The Comedy was there and the romantic moments were classic. This movie really reaches out to those in bad debt and can help anyone understand the attachment to clothing. The value was for me, as it expressed the complexity that comes with losing control of your money, on your job, family, friends. In the end lots of audience laughs and smiles throughout and really that is what a day at your local movie theater is all about. Watch free full Confessions of a Shopaholic film online.

Participants digging into NIST's draft cybersecurity framework for Dallas meeting
Federal officials at this week's cybersecurity workshop in Dallas should expect pointed questions about how companies measure cost effectiveness, set priorities and demonstrate adoption under the voluntary framework for critical infrastructure being developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
With a month to go before NIST releases a preliminary framework for public comment, some industry representatives will go to Dallas pushing for a significant course correction. Others will encourage NIST to press ahead with what they see as a . . .

We have a lady near where I work who runs a little 'Snack Shack' who made us some Christmas Cupcakes
this year. I love what she did with them so decided to make my own!
I'm pretty pleased with how they came out, and they were pretty easy to make if I'm honest!
For the cakes:
110g/4oz butter or margarine, softened at room temperature
110g/4oz caster sugar
2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
110g/4oz self-raising flour
1-2 tbsp milk
For the buttercream icing:
140g/5oz butter, softened
280g/10oz icing sugar
1-2 tbsp milk
a few drops food colouring
Preheat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
Line a 12 hole muffin tin with muffin cases.
Weigh the butter and sugar and place into a large bowl.
Cream together until the mixture turns a pale cream colour.
Crack the eggs into the mixture one at a time and beat into the mixture. Add the vanilla essence and stir until mixed.
Weigh the flour and gradually fold into the wet mixture using a large metal spoon. Gradually add a little milk until the mixture is soft and wet.
Spoon into the cases until they are half full.
Place the tray in the centre of the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Insert a skewer into one of the cakes and if it comes out clean, they are ready. If it comes out with mixture still on it, then place them back in the oven for a couple of minutes.
Once removed from oven, set aside to cool for 10 minutes then remove from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
Now, it's time to ice!
Weigh the butter and place in a large bowl. You need to beat until the mixture is soft and creamy. It takes some persistence to achieve this part but it's well worth it!
Add half of the icing sugar and beat until it's smooth.
Then add the remaining icing sugar, along with one tablespoon of milk and combine until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You can add more milk if your mixture is dry.
**Side note, if you want, you can colour your icing – just drop a spot of your desired food colouring into your icing and stir until mixed.
Spoon the icing into a piping bag with your choice of nozzle and pipe using a spiralling motion from the cake to a point on the top.
Then add your decoration!
I sprinkled some edible glitter over the icing first, just to give that extra Christmas sparkle!
While I chose to use the candy canes – you could use anything you fancied, although preferably, edible!
Linking up with Natasha at Schue Love.

Sherryl Klingerhofer from Tillamook, OR
Nominated by Linda Giorgilli Rice
Sherryl Klingerhofer and I met on FB, with the common bond of losing our dads, who both fought Parkinson's disease. Sherryl has been a wonderful source of support for me and I hope vice versa, and we both continually work towards our Parkinson's advocacy.
Sherryl happens to be unique in that, well, I will use her information from her FB page to best describe first her description of her employment: PARKINSONS RESOURCE getting exercise and positive information to people with Parkinson's: on FB, speaking (from experience!) and marketing my PD movement book "What Makes This Parkinson's Program Different?" - still working to expand Parkinson's exercise and resources - working on a second publication.
Now, from her page, a small portion written about Sherryl in her own words: I want to be a resource for those fighting Parkinson's. My experience presenting a brain/body movement workshop at a PD summit was wonderful! I share exercise/movement w/ our local support group and often speak to other groups. Since I can't be at yours, I'm sharing weekly info/exercise---join me!
This is only a portion of information about Sherryl, but she is a remarkable woman, always working to improve and develop great exercise routines for people with Parkinson's. Her attitude is absolutely and completely positive. I think she definitely qualities as a Superstar. She is one in my book anyway and I look forward to our continued friendship and goals in the battle against Parkinson's disease.

Medellín, Colombia (PRWEB) April 10, 2014
Research unveiled at World Urban Forum challenges myths about the informal economy, and shows that urban informal workers play vital roles in the urban economy and help keep their households out of extreme poverty. The findings also indicate that city policies and practices tend to undermine informal livelihoods.
The researchers conclude that informal workers, who make up the majority of the urban workforce in most regions, could make greater contributions if local policies and practices supported, rather than hindered, their work.
The findings are from the Informal Economy Monitoring Study (IEMS), which examined the realities faced by informal workers in 10 cities of Africa, Asia and Latin America. IEMS is a collaboration between Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO), which led the study, and WIEGO's partners in the Inclusive Cities project.
Urban informal workers were studied across three occupational groups: home-based workers, street vendors and waste pickers. The study examines how these workers are affected by and respond to three sets of driving forces: macroeconomic trends, government policies and practices, and value chain dynamics.
It also explores the links between informal and formal economies and the contributions of the urban informal workforce to urban economies.
"The study is unique in several ways. It was undertaken by local researchers in each city under the guidance of a multinational, multi-disciplinary advisory committee, and involves a unique partnership between WIEGO, a global research-policy-action network, and local organizations of informal workers," explains Marty Chen, WIEGO's International Coordinator, a Lecturer in Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School, and an Affiliated Professor with the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
The Research
Researchers worked in partnership with membership-based organizations (MBOs) of informal workers. Data were collected using both quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (focus group discussions) methods with:
The Findings
The IEMS found most workers do not choose informality as a way to hide from regulations, but out of necessity. Among the study sample, the vast majority of workers' households relied on informal earnings for survival.
The workers' livelihood activities are intrinsically linked to the formal economy. They purchase inputs from and sell to formal businesses. For example, over 50 per cent of street vendors in the sample source their goods from formal sector suppliers. For 76 per cent of waste pickers, the main buyers for what they collect and sell are formal businesses—thus their activities translate into profits for formal enterprises, scrap shops, recycling companies, producers and artists.
Most sub-contracted home-based workers in the sample produce goods that are sold in local or global markets by formal firms. Other home-based workers market their own products. These workers noted that when they purchase supplies and equipment, they pay consumer taxes into the public purse.
Nearly two thirds of street vendors said they pay their city government for a license, permit or access to public space for vending.
All informal workers reported they are affected by macroeconomic trends. Inflation impacts the earnings of home-based workers and street vendors by raising the cost of inputs, but informal workers are often unable to raise their own prices to maintain a profit margin. Recession leads to fewer customers – and more competition when those who lose formal jobs turn to the informal economy to make a living. Also, competition from multinational retailers and the influx of cheap imported goods hurts informal workers' enterprises just as it does small formal businesses.
City policies and practices
In all cities and across the three occupational groups, study participants reported that the policies and practices of city governments hampered their livelihoods. All three groups cited the lack of access to infrastructure as a significant problem in their work. Costly, unreliable electricity was a particular issue for many home-based workers. For street vendors, lack of access to running water—especially for those who sell food—was a problem. Both waste pickers and home-based workers said the cost of public transport is a problem in their work.
For home-based workers whose homes double as their workplaces, small and poor-quality housing were major challenges. In some cases, home-based workers had been relocated with no concern for their livelihood activities.
Street vendors across all cities spoke of the disruptive and costly impact of chronic abuse by authorities – including harassment, confiscations, and arrest.
Waste pickers in most cities also saw their local officials in a negative light. In Bogotá and Durban, for example, over 84 per cent said poor treatment by the local authority is a problem, and almost 90 per cent said regulations and by-laws regarding waste are a problem. However, in Belo Horizonte where the municipality has long had a formal partnership with waste pickers' organizations, 63 per cent of waste pickers said they have experienced support from the city, compared to just 26 per cent or less in the other cities.
Recommendations for urban policymakers and planners, created jointly by researchers and informal workers' organizations, included:
"The partner organizations in each city will be using the findings in their ongoing advocacy with local government," Dr. Chen says.
As the IEMS findings demonstrate, continuing to ignore the contributions of informal workers in city plans will result in lost opportunities to build thriving cities and strong local and national economies.
Detailed summaries of the findings and recommendations by occupational group are available at http://www.inclusivecities.org/iems/.

Up for sale is my EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND TCXO-2 for the Yaesu FT-990. I bought this as a backup part for the TCXO-2 that I already have installed in my FT-990 and it is now excess to my needs.
This TCXO-2 is New In the Box, never taken out of the box, except for pictures. The TCXO is still sealed in the pink bubble wrap from Yaesu and has the original installation instructions included from Yaesu.
If you want rock solid, no drift, no waver frequency stability, the TCXO is for you. The TCXO fixes issues such as the trimmer cap on the LOCAL board going bad and causing the FT-990 to start to drift. After installing my first TCXO, my rig was as I have stated, ROCK SOLID, NO DRIFT.
It was the best investment/addition to my 990, aside from filters.
Of course if you are looking at this, then you already know what it's for and it's value to the rig.
Yaesu does not make these anymore and has not manufactured any for many, many years.
Here's your chance to get one, New In The Box, sealed. You will not be disappointed.
I prefer PayPal and will ship USPS priority mail only to the lower 48 conus.
Price is $140 priority shipped to your door, packed very well.
I rarely, if at all, check the forum messages, so please contact me by email listed in QRZ.
