The Summer Season: Elizabeth Arden Perfect Flamingo Lipstick
Elizabeth Arden Perfect Flamingo Lipstick
The Summer Season: Elizabeth Arden Perfect Flamingo Lipstick
Elizabeth Arden Perfect Flamingo Lipstick ($21.50 for 0.12 oz.) is a brightened shade of blue-based pink. It's a creamy, smooth shade with an almost semi-matte finish — it has just a bit of sheen but it's very played down. It provides semi-opaque color coverage while de-emphasizing lip lines. One of my favorite things about this lipstick is how moisturizing it is — it really keeps lips feeling their poutiest throughout the day. The wear is fantastic as well, as I can get through a cup of coffee without leaving all my lipstick behind! It doesn't make through the whole day, but it stays on well enough not to need a reapplication after drinking, otherwise it lasts a solid four hours on me.
P.S. — This is a new-for-summer shade, and it looks like it's currently sold out… but hopefully it'll be restocked soon!
Is this the right pink lipstick for you? Would you wear it?
The Summer Season is a series of posts featuring bright, vibrant shades of coral, orange, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for a summer of fun — that runs through July 2010.

The quartet relocated to Memphis, Tennessee in 1950. The move proved to be profitable for the group as they began to appear on television station WMCT in coming years. On 14 June 1954, the Blackwood Brothers lineup of Bill Shaw (tenor), James Blackwood (lead), R. W. Blackwood (baritone), Bill Lyles (bass), and Jackie Marshall (piano), won the Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts competition on national television with their rendition of Have You Talked To The Man Upstairs? The excitement was short lived however, when a fatal plane crash in Clanton, Alabama just 16 days later claimed the lives of R. W. Blackwood and bass singer Bill Lyles, along with a local friend from Clanton, Johnny Ogburn. Bill Shaw, James Blackwood and Jackie Marshall soldiered on. R.W.'s little brother Cecil took over as baritone and J. D. Sumner replaced Lyles at the bass position. In the following years, he and James Blackwood put a number of innovative ideas into play. They were the first to customize a bus for group travel and are the founders of the National Quartet Convention. Sumner also contributed to the group as a songwriter, sometimes writing all the songs for a music album. The Blackwood Brothers were also setting new standards in the studio. Their RCA Victor recordings from this time period are now prized collectors' items. The lineup with Bill Shaw, James, Cecil, and J.D. Sumner (who for many years was unchallenged as the Guinness World Record holder for having the lowest human voice on record) is considered the classic version of the Blackwood Brothers Quartet, with Jackie Marshall or Wally Varner on piano. The Blackwood Brothers Quartet came up with the idea to customize the first bus to make travel spacious and comfortable for entertainers thereby inventing the customized "Tour Bus". Elvis Presley saw their bus and went straight out and had one made for him. A replica of the bus can be seen at the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
The Blackwood Brothers formed a partnership with the Statesmen quartet to tour as a team in the 1950s. By the end of the decade, the team was making up to $1500 per performance, an amount unheard of previously. This dominance lasted for about a decade until the rise of gospel television shows in the late 1960s began to give competing groups wider exposure. The Stateswood team also started independent record label Skylite Records. At one time, the Skylite roster included the Blackwood Brothers, the Statesmen, J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, Jake Hess and The Imperials, The Speer Family, The Florida Boys, The Couriers, and The Oak Ridge Boys, along with the Rebels Quartet, from Tampa, FL.
The Blackwood Brothers were still a major force in the industry at the end of the 1960s. In 1969, they collected nearly 200,000 signatures on a "God And Country" petition in retaliation to the banning of prayer in school. They would continue to win Grammy awards (8 in all) as recent as 1982. They earned yet another nomination in 2004. James Blackwood would win the male vocalist of the year 7 times from the Gospel Music Association.
Blackwood Brothers lineups during the post-Sumner era included bass singers John Hall, London Paris, and Ken Turner, and tenor Pat Hoffmaster. The 1970s lineup with Hoffmaster, Jimmy Blackwood, Cecil Blackwood, Ken Turner and Tommy Fairchild had the Blackwood Brothers' biggest hit with Learning To Lean.
After the departure of James Blackwood, the Blackwood Brothers continued to sing together with various lineups for the rest of the 20th century. The family patriarch, James Blackwood, died in 2002. Several Blackwood descendants have upheld the family gospel tradition of the original Blackwood Quartet. James Blackwood's son Jimmy eventually put the name back to use following James' death. Jimmy had sung with the Blackwood Brothers Quartet from 1969 to 1986.
Various members of the Blackwood family have also had groups that employed the banner of the family name. James Blackwood also had a group late in his life that was billed as the James Blackwood Quartet. Other descendents of the original group also have groups including Ron Blackwood and R. W. Blackwood, Jr., who have The Blackwood Quartet and The Blackwood Singers. Terry Blackwood does solo engagements and dates with The Imperials. Mark Blackwood has the Blackwood Gospel Quartet.
The Blackwood Brothers Quartet has won 8 Grammy Awards,www.grammy awards/winners/results, 4 Dove Awards www.doveawards/history/list.cfm?, recorded over 200 albums and sold over 50 million records. The Blackwood Brothers Quartet has been inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame "http://www.grammy.com/Recording_Academy/Awards/Hall_Of_Fame/ (Listed under F: FAVORITE GOSPEL SONGS AND SPIRITUALS, The Blackwood Brothers Quartet), the GMA (Gospel Music Association) Gospel Music Hall Of Fame http://www.gmahalloffame.org/inductee_bio.cfm?ID=366", the SGMA Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame "http://www.sgma.org, and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame "http://www.rockabillyhall.com/BRAB.html.
The Blackwood Brothers Quartet is heard singing on the radio towards the beginning of the movie "Walk The Line" about Johnny Cash when Johnny (actor-Joaquin Phoenix) was in Memphis. The Blackwood family, Johnny Cash and the Cash family established a wonderful friendship that led to appearing together through the years on both recordings and live performances. The Blackwood Quartet and The Blackwood Singers were also among Elvis Presley's favorite musical groups, which led to The Blackwood family and Elvis forming an enduring friendship that would also last a lifetime. The Blackwood family have a long list of wonderful enduring friendships and have performed with many well-known artists over the years.
The Blackwood Quartet features the only two living Blackwood brothers singing together (Ron Blackwood and R. W. Blackwood, Jr.). Ron Blackwood and R. W. Blackwood, Jr. are the sons of the late R. W. Blackwood Sr. whom carry on the legacy of the original 1930's Blackwood Brothers Quartet. The Blackwoods feature The Blackwood Quartet and The Blackwood Singers and can be seen performing 6 days a week at The Blackbear Jamboree Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

The terrorist watch list has been beset with problems ever since it came into existence. Ted Kennedy showed up on the No Fly List, a cousin to the terrorist watch list, back in 2004. 8 year-olds can't get themselves off it. Clearly, the smaller and more focused a watch list, the better for national security as well as civil liberties.
So of course, in reaction to the failure to track Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab last year, the federal government has gone in the opposite direction. Instead of double-checking the watch list and making sure resources were focused on legitimate threats, they made it comically easy to get placed on the watch list.
The failure to put Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on the watch list last year renewed concerns that the government's system to screen out potential terrorists was flawed. Even though Abdulmutallab's father had told U.S. officials of his son's radicalization in Yemen, government rules dictated that a single-source tip was insufficient to include a person's name on the watch list.
Since then, senior counterterrorism officials say they have altered their criteria so that a single-source tip, as long as it is deemed credible, can lead to a name being placed on the watch list.
Keep in mind that current watch lists already boast over a million names, with 440,000 on the terrorist watch list alone. Keep in mind that most of these names are outdated or just plain wrong, according to a report from the Justice Department's Inspector General from last year. Keep in mind that, once you get on a list, it's virtually impossible to get off. The last possible response to any of these facts is to make the watch lists even bigger, relying on even less evidence, making them that much less easy to manage.
Law enforcement can absolutely benefit from a good watch list, and arrests thwarting attacks can and do result. And elsewhere in the piece, government officials maintain they have corrected errors and thinned down the problems with the lists. But there's a balance here. A single-source tip, "deemed credible," (whatever that means) seems like a thin reed for placement on a list of this kind.

MORPHING mug shots of Margaret Thatcher and Marilyn Monroe together has helped to explain how the human brain recognises faces. And it seems separate brain regions handle the big picture and the details.
Combining the face of a 20th-century icon with the UK's "Iron Lady" may strike some as sacrilege, but the technique allows researchers to distinguish between different aspects of recognition. For example, morphs can include different proportions of two unmorphed images, but still be recognisably of the same person.
Pia Rotshtein at University College London and her colleagues showed sequential, paired combinations of images of pairs of celebrities to 14 volunteers and measured their brains' responses. Unknown to the volunteers, many of the images were morphs of the two people. "People will sometimes say, 'Oh, I hadn't realised that Maggie is so similar to Marilyn,' but without realising it is an artificial face generated by morphing the two," ...

Frank Lloyd Wright's spirit lives on at Taliesin West

Meteor Crater a sight to behold
July 23, 2007
I'm here at Taliesin West, uberarchitect Frank Lloyd Wright's Arizona home and school, and now home to the foundation bearing his name.
And the place is such an aesthetic, engineering and living beauty that I don't quite know how to behave.
I've come here for one of the afternoon tours, a 90-minute affair that fills the mind, eyes and body with a kind of wonder, a feeling of "I'm not worthy" and a wish to live in a place like this.
Taliesin West is another stop on my Road Trip 2007 around the Southwest, and having just come from sites like the Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon Skywalk and Hoover Dam, it was going to take a lot to impress me. And Taliesin West doesn't disappoint.
For Wright, the word "taliesin," which is Welsh for "shining brow," is almost sacred. He built his western estate--he had a sister facility in Wisconsin--on the brow of a hill overlooking what would one day become Scottsdale, in such a way that it can't be seen from below, but affords unlimited views.
Wright began construction of the facility in 1937, when he was 70 years old and, many thought, washed up.
But his professional output only grew after moving in. He went on to produce endless additional buildings around the globe, astounding the architectural world and becoming one of the only, if not the only, architect to have a flourishing career both before and after World War II.
Wright died in 1959, at 92, leaving behind a legacy of architectural supremacy that some feel is still alive today. That's in large part because his school--the smallest architecture school in the country--still accepts students, offering both bachelor's and master's degrees. Also a factor is that so many of his inventions and innovations are considered standards today.
A full list of such inventions would probably take too long, but a short tally of some of the best includes metal furniture, recessed lighting, track lighting, glass doors, upright urinals, in-floor lighting and path lighting.
Additionally, he based his structural philosophy--making a sort of cage of rebar and wrapping cement around it--on a type of cactus found in Arizona that has a similar form. In his time, it was thought such a structure would never hold the weight of a building. Today, this technique is used worldwide.
For Wright, canvas ceilings were vital because of the way they allowed in the appropriate amount of light during the day without requiring heavy electricity use or casting the kinds of shadows that make it hard to do architectural drawings.
That's why nearly every room at Taliesin West has canvas ceilings, and though that's counter-intuitive, I was a quick convert. It makes a room feel comfortable, airy, not too bright and entirely usable.
This probably wouldn't work in cities where it is frequently cold, but then again, who knows?
In keeping with a philosophy of organic design in which Wright felt construction should be done using local materials, Taliesin West's major structural material is quartzite. Everywhere you look are large blocks of it, which, legend has it, the architect's apprentices would have to carry by hand to wherever they were needed.
The next most important material used here is cement, which he mixed in a 1:10 ratio with sand. Then, he used rough-sawn redwood because it was cheap, but sturdy, an important characteristic during the Depression when Taliesin West was built.

- Indeed !
- I've had the privilege of touring TW twice; the second time (because no one else was available) guided by a staff architect who had worked with Mr. Wright (as he insisted on calling him) personally. Wonderful indeed.
I live in Minnesota, so aside from a few houses, the closest (big) building is in Madison Wisconsin - The Monona Terrace. I had to beg the rest of the family to stop, but once inside they were amazed that a building could feel so comfortable. We all loved it!

- Not the closest
- Actually, the closest FLLW building to you, from Minnesota, would have been TALIESIN. FLLW build Taliesin in 1911, and lived in and worked on it for the rest of his life. It is located 35 miles WEST of Madison, in Spring Green WI. While Monona Terrace is great and all, if you want to see what FLLW was really about, you need to visit his home, Taliesin, the only place on earth where he could--and did--do whatever he wanted architecturally.

- Taliesin school's death grip on Wright's genius
- Those of us inspired by Wright's work find, alas, that instead of
producing a continuous line of bright and inspired young
architects injecting Wright's genius into the cold Modernist
world the school of architecture at Taliesin has instead produced
just a half-dozen aging, cranky, secretive architects who resent
any attempt by the larger world to copy or emulate Wright's
work. Understanding Wright's thinking on a practical level is
best achieved by reading Sarah Susankah's various books, where
the thought process behind the use of space is broken down in
simple terms. And don't even think of building a copy of one of
Wright's houses for yourself, because the high priests of Taliesin
hold the rights to all the designs and only dole them out to the
wealthy and the worshippers...

- Yep you have to pay to enter the park but they have free trams that take you around the park to different lookouts and all of these are free after you enter the park. So you do not have to buy a tour package if you just want to look at the canyon and take some pictures. Unless you are planning on spending a lot of time there I would suggest just taking your own personal tour of the canyon. http://explorearizonatours.com/grandcanyon.php

Many gathered to help rake leaves at Mississippi Point Park and Josephine Nunn Park to rake leaves to protect the water quality of rivers and creeks. Pictured above are girl scouts holding the poster for the Fall Leaf Clean-up event. When grass and leaves travel to waterways and though storm drains, phosphorus is created by the decaying leaves, turning water green with algae. This depletes oxygen levels in the water making it difficult for fish and other aquatic animals to survive.

THE tree was a black cottonwood and it grew by the banks of the Nisqually river in Washington State. The tree is gone now, swept away by the shifting river, but not before Gerald Tuskan of Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and his team made history last year by sequencing its genome - a first for any tree species.
While the feat may seem like an odd achievement for a lab that was originally created for the Manhattan Project - the American-led effort to develop an atom bomb - it is somehow fitting. Like the bomb, the tree is meant to help the US gain strategic leverage, though this time through energy independence.
"The big push is to displace imported oil," says Tuskan. "The question is, can we produce ethanol cheaply enough to do that." By tinkering with the black cottonwood's genome, researchers have already produced variants with thicker ...

Dismas Indiza made a surprise exit as 28 professionals made the cut for the KCB Advantage Banking Grand Finale golf tournament. But Muthaiga's Nicholas Rokoine was in imperious form and sounded quite enthusiastic when the coast tour entered its halfway stage at the par 71 Nyali Golf and Country Club. Yesterday's play saw 25 pros failing to make the cut which stood at +13 (155). Indiza left the course crestfallen and was left to rue what had transpired over the last two days.
For the first time ever, Indiza, who played 15 over after two days of intense action, failed to make the cut when he posted six over yesterday and 9 over on Wednesday. "Its really painful. I have never missed a cut since I joined professional ranks," said Indiza. Rokoine was all smiles as he focused on the remaining two rounds. Similar to Day One play, Rokoine fired 3 under par 68 to end his day two onslaught on 6 under. So far, Rokoine is the only man to have played under since the event started on Wednesday.
Yesterday, Rokoine dropped two shots on holes 3 and 12 but sunk five birdies on holes 1, 4, 5, 11 and 17 to cling onto the tournament lead. Three players, Bryan Njoroge, David Wakhu and E. Ruterana of Rwanda finished joint second on 2 over par 144. Three other pros J. Kagiri, Riz Charannia and Jacob Okello shot 3 over par 145 to finish Day Two action joint third. "I played one over today (yesterday). I wasn't hitting the ball well, so I will take the score and I have no complains. The course played longer today (yesterday) because of the rains but the scoring conditions were definitely better than yesterday (Wednesday)," Riz commented.
The event in Nyali has been a true test of golf given the windy conditions experienced by the regional professionals. "Today the course was really tough because heavy winds blew through in the afternoon session," said Stuart Cohen after he made the cut on 10 over par 152.

The Sea of Tranquility it isn't. But for a team of US and Canadian astronauts, a lab on the ocean floor will be the next best thing.
As part of a programme to return to the moon, NASA is sending six astronauts on an 18-day mission next month to an underwater lab called Aquarius, 20 metres beneath the surface of the ocean near Key Largo, Florida.
The goal is to simulate a moon mission by exploring the reef area using an underwater version of a remotely-operated planetary rover and by conducting "moon walks" outside the lab wearing pressure suits.
Inside the lab, the team will simulate remote surgery on a dummy patient using a live electronic link to mission control with a built-in time-lag similar to that experienced by astronauts radioing Earth from the moon.
With the help of the robotic vehicle, the team will even attempt to build a ...

Mark Getty had famously said that IP ( Intellectual Property) is the oil of the XXI st century. What he should have said is that photography is the oil of the 21 century. Four mega tech companies today are making Rockefeller turn in his grave with envy. As you might remember from your economy classes, Rockefeller build his massive oil company by owning and controlling every step of the process. From oil fields, to drilling, fabricating the pipes, railroads, gas stations and everything in between, Standard Oil owned everything and was in complete and full control of its entire vertical, allowing it to crush its competition.
Today, Flickr, Instagram and Twitter are fighting the same battle for absolute control. Not with oil, but with photography. By releasing their own filter sets, Flickr and Twitter have now entered the production side of photography- the drilling – with the firm intention to be the only ones in charge. Google, no so long ago, bought Snapseed, another popular filter company. All already have their own massive distribution ( sharing) platforms.
Already we have seen Instagram disabling its virtual association with Twitter so that their users can only properly share their images on its social site and nowhere else.
Here are the forces in the battle:
Flickr, the oldest, originally just a sharing platform. With the arrival of Melissa Meyer, ex Google, it is now waking up to the fact that it could too become a social network platform as big as Facebook, especially since the latter bought Instagram
Twitter: The text/link sharing platform who has competed with Facebook since its inception and lost the Instagram acquisition.
Instagram: the newbie disruptor who built a fabulous sharing empire by stripping the Facebook idea to its core : photography. Now associated with Facebook.
Google : The Giant. With almost unlimited funds and a huge intelligence pool, it thrives on demolishing competition and the only one to produce cameras, via their cell phone division.It also owns the pipelines in the form of fiber optic cables. It is also probably the one that has the most solid financials.
The intent is clear: Each company wants to be the only player in the photographic space. Period. Because photography is 75% ( if not more) of the internet space and growing rapidly. People communicate, share, comment, discover via photography. Even successful sites like Tumblr and Pinterest could have never succeeded without photography.It is, in other words, the oil of the internet. You cannot, today, own a successful ( think high traffic) website without photography being a major part of it.
Interestingly enough, none of the traditional big players of the photography space, like Getty or Corbis, are remotely close to being in this battle. Neither are Canon, Nikon or the defunct Kodak. They could have. They just did not see it coming and took the wrong path.
Apple could come in as an outsider to this battle. They certainly have everything in place and would only need to turn it on. Just imagine if they launched an app that would perfectly integrate with they cameras ( which they already have with the Iphone/Ipad) and enable an itune-like discovery and sharing platform. Just by the sheer power of their "coolness" amongst cell phone photographers, they could easily grab a huge share very quickly and become a dominant player.
Who will be the winner is anyones' call and chances are that another company currently under the radar might win this race for complete domination. It could also very be that it might not work at all and that multiple players end up sharing the space. After all, not even Rockefeller succeeded in owning 100% of the oil industry.

Congolese refugees have continued to cross to Rwanda fleeing alleged persecution by armed groups in the eastern part of the country, the Ministry of Disaster and Refugee affairs has said.
By Tuesday evening, at least 300 refugees had been registered since last week according to officials.
The official said the refugees were fleeing violence targeting Kinyarwanda speaking Congolese. The refugees are entering through La Corniche border post in Gisenyi Sector, Rubavu District in Western Province.
"Today (Tuesday) we received 100 Congolese nationals from Masisi. When we talked to them they reported that different armed groups like Mai Mai, Nyatura were attacking Congolese of Rwandan descent," Fredrick Ntawukuriryayo, the ministry's communications officer told The New Times.
He said that the refugees were being sheltered at Nkamira transit centre in Western Province but more were expected to come.
The refugees are being provided with food and shelter by Rwandan government in collaboration with United Nations High Commission for Refugees, among other agencies.
Rwanda hosts over 50,000 Congolese refugees mostly those who fled fighting in eastern DRC. They are in various camps, including Gihembe in Gicumbi district, Kiziba in Karongi district, Nyabiheke in Gatsibo and Kigeme in Nyamagabe district.
Others are in Kigali City and Nkamira Transit Centre in the Western Province.
Recent statistics released by the government and UN agencies indicate that 99 per cent of all refugees in Rwanda were from Democratic Republic of Congo.
This influx comes as talks between the DRC government and the M23 rebels aimed at ending fighting in the eastern part of the vast central African country have been extended until December 31.
The negotiations, are going on since December 9 in Kampala.

Tips for Teaching Young Kids to Ski
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
There are certain childhood memories that stand out. One for me was counting my turns as I skied down a trail with my father. I loved this game. He would ski behind me as I would yell out the numbers as I made pretty turns down the mountain.
When I started teaching skiing, I realized this was a game masked as a learning tool. A couple weeks ago, I tried this with my five-year-old nephew, who loves to ski but has not yet become all too fond of turning. Based on some unscientific research, I think most kids love to ski but aren't really that thrilled about turning.
So, we skied down the mountain. My nephew was counting the whole way down, shouting out his updates. Somehow he managed to make 20 more turns than I had made. The next run, the same thing happened. Well, I knew how he made 20 more turns. He used a looser definition of the term "turn."
Over hot chocolate, we discussed the turn situation. Of course, I was trying to be the diplomatic aunt, albeit, a little conniving with my attempt to get him to make more turns. I explained I was fine with only making 80 turns even though he made 109 because my turns were really curvy and helped me control my speed. He was neither impressed with my turns, nor convinced that I was "okay" with being the loser in the game. His response: "You are not okay with the fact that you only made 80 turns and I made 109." I responded that every fiber of my being was okay with the fact that I made 80 turns to his 109. My nephew's response as he sipped his hot chocolate and shook his head, "Every fiber of your being is not okay with the fact that I made 109 and you only made 80." Thank goodness he doesn't say things like, "Loser," because in his estimation, that is what I was.
The thing is, I know this kid is going to kick my butt skiing in about thirteen years—or at least I am hoping he will. By then, perhaps the fact that my turns were prettier than his when he was five will have more of an impact on him. (I know—whatever, Aunt Heather.)
Tips to Teach Kids to Ski or Ride
If you are teaching your favorite little ones to ski or ride, here are some excellent tips, courtesy of a few select ski professionals in New England.
Burton's Riglet Board and Riglet Reel—Best for Small Tots
I started teaching my daughter Ryder how to snowboard last year when she was 2 and a half. I used the Burton Riglet board and Riglet reel to tow her around the base area before riding the magic carpet and introducing downhill sliding. The Riglet reel (a retractable cord attached to the nose of the board) is the best aid in getting your 3+ year old started on the board.

Farfel with Mushrooms and Onions
5 comments | Leave Comment
Farfel with Mushrooms and Onions
Farfel is sometimes translated into English as "egg barley", I presume because it is made with egg pasta and depending on how you form it, it has the approximate shape of barley. It is otherwise completely unrelated to barley. In this dish I prefer to use toasted farfel, which has a nutty flavor.
- Prep Time : 10 min
- Cook Time : 45 min
- Ready Time : 55 min
- 12 ounce (2 to 21/2 cups, depending on the size) farfel or egg barley, toasted
- 4 ounce (1 sticks or 1/2 cup) unsalted butter, or a combinator of peanut oil and chicken schmaltz to equal same
- 2 large (1 pound) yellow onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
- 12 ounce (3/4 pound) mushrooms, button, portobello, romano, or a combination, sliced or chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more to taste
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
- 1 large egg (optional)
- 1/4 cup soup stock, chicken or vegetable (optional)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
Bring a large pot of salted water (4 quarts water with 1 tablespoon kosher salt) to a boil. Add the toasted farfel and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, but do not rinse.
In a large saucepan, heat the butter or shmaltz mixture (based on if you want it meat or dairy). Add the onions and saute until translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and continue cooking, stirring often, until the mushrooms have given off most of their water and the mushrooms and onions are soft, about 30 minutes.
Stir the farfel into the sauteed mushrooms and onions adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
If you are going to bake the farfel, stir in the egg and/or soup broth (if using). Transfer to a greased 2-quart baking dish. You can store the farfel covered in the refrigerator at this point for up to 2 days. Before serving, preheat oven to 350. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top browns and the farfel is heated through.
Notes: You should be able to tell if your farfel is untoasted by the color: untoasted, it has the pale yellow color similar to other egg noodles; toasted it is somewhere between beige and golden brown. If yours is untoasted, you should toast it before you proceed with this recipe: preheat the oven to 300. Spread the farfel out on a cookie sheet and set in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pasta has turned a dark beige or golden brown. Periodically rake the pasta with a large spoon or spatula to ensure it toasts evenly. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before proceeding.

Can Ads Drive Mobile Music Revenues?
The ailing music industry is increasingly looking to offset plummeting CD revenues by leveraging phones as digital-age retail counters. But as ringtone sales continue to slide and full-track downloads struggle to get legs, advertising dollars may be the last, best hope for the record labels.
A new report from Juniper Research predicts modest growth for mobile music over the next five years, with revenues rising to $14.6 billion in 2013, up from $11 billion last year. Full-track downloads and streaming services will fuel much of that expansion, according to Juniper, as faster networks and more sophisticated handsets spur consumer spending.
I'm skeptical about even those tepid forecasts for full-track sales and premium streaming offerings, however. Margins from digital music sales are notoriously thin (which is why Apple views iTunes as a way to drive sales for its lucrative hardware), and those margins get even less attractive when songs are accessed over cellular networks, where bandwidth is at a premium and data-heavy deliveries are more costly. Pumping up the price points for the most in-demand tunes hasn't helped, either, serving only to slow sales of higher-priced tunes. And online streaming services such as Napster and Real Networks' Rhapsody have failed to draw much of an audience, providing evidence that consumers are uninterested in renting tunes, too.
But free, ad-based services — which have struggled for years — may finally be finding an audience. Pandora, which creates personalized "radio stations" based on users' tastes, is reporting an 80 percent increase in quarterly ad revenues over last year, thanks largely to usage on the iPhone (5 million downloads) and BlackBerry devices (1 million devices).
Just as importantly, the record labels — which typically demonstrate about as much foresight as a U.S. automaker — are beginning to warm to ad-supported, streaming music-recommendation services in recent weeks. Warner Bros. and Universal Music are restructuring royalty deals with startups like Imeem, and PRS, a UK-based songwriters' alliance, recently relaxed its streaming rates.
These pacts should have been struck years ago, of course. The mobile phone has the potential to be the digital equivalent of the transistor radio, exposing would-be music buyers to tunes from artists they might never otherwise hear. And, like the decades-old radio model, it can be fueled by advertising.
Ad revenues may be tough to generate in mobile music, especially in a down economy. But on-the-go music recommendation services have the ability to deliver remarkably targeted ads, and to deliver consumers to mobile content storefronts with a single click. Given the dubious prospects for other mobile music offerings, ad-supported streaming services may be the best hope for a music industry in dire need of a hit.

Back in April dotTechies received a real treat in the form of a freebie-promotion of East-Tec Eraser 2008. Now, 8 months later, we bring you something similar, yet better: a freebie-promotion of East-Tec Eraser 2009!
As mentioned in my earlier article on East-Tec Eraser, East-Tec Eraser is a program that allows you to securely delete files, data and user activity from your computer. You see usually when you delete something on your computer, it is not truly "deleted" in the sense that there are ways for the data to be retrieved. East-Tec Eraser allows you to delete files/data/user activity using secure erasing methods that make it near impossible for others to retrieve what you deleted.
The best way I would describe East-Tec Eraser is CCleaner + Heidi's Eraser into one program. With East-Tec Eraser not only can you securely delete individual files and folders but you can also protect your privacy by securely deleting your Windows (applications/programs, email, P2P, etc.) data and Internet (almost all browsers are supported – including Chrome and Opera) activity. To help you with the former task, East-Tec Eraser has an easy to use interface where you can add multiple files and folders at once to delete; you also have the ability to add entries in your right click context menu. To help you with the later task, East-Tec Eraser has a built in application detector that will detect all the possible applications that it can erase the activity history from automatically; if East-Tec Eraser does not find a particular application that you use, you have the ability to add custom programs (by designating files, folders or registry entries) to delete the history from.
East-Tec Eraser boasts the ability to erase anything using methods from a normal erase to a Gutmann wipe (35 pass) and everything in between, including methods that match and surpass US Department of Defense 5220.22-M standards. Heck if you don't like any pre-configured secure erasing methods you have the ability to create/define your own also (if you custom created method to securely erase files/data becomes popular and you become rich and famous, I expect royalties).
Additionally, you can use East-Tec to securely erase files/data/user activity that you previously deleted or use the built in disk wiper to securely wipe any hard drives (internal or external – including USB/flash drives) or select partitions.
Of course, the above four paragraph description does not do full justice to East-Tec Eraser because it still has more features I did not mention. Yet, I am sure you get the point: East-Tec Eraser is awesome.
According to the developer, the major changes from East-Tec Eraser 2008 -> East-Tec Eraser 2009 are:
- A new redesigned interface: a new graphical look that will improve your experience while using our product.
- New and updated applications supported in Privacy Guard: the most popular web browsers (Mozilla Firefox 3.1, Opera 9.6), Yahoo Messenger 9.0, Zone Alarm Pro 8, OpenOffice 3, Avira AntiVir Personal Edition, Blubster 3, iTunes 8 and QuickTime 7.5, Adobe Media Player 1.1, Safari 3.2 and other applications.
- Improvements in Risk Monitor: you can see detailed information about each risk.
Before I tell you how to get East-Tec Eraser 2009 for free, let me remind everyone if you enjoy East-Tec Eraser, consider upgrading to the latest East-Tec Eraser 2010; via dotTech you can get East-Tec Eraser 2010 with one year of free updates for $19.95 USD single PC or $24.94 USD for two PCs (dotTech gets no commission or a cut of the sale). This is a huge discount from the normal price of $49.95.
According to the developer, the major improvements from East-Tec Eraser 2009 -> East-Tec Eraser 2010 are:
- Windows 7 compatibility
- Updated sensitive areas in Privacy Guard, such as Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player 12 Beta, Opera 10, Google Chrome 3, Safari 4, Norton Antivirus 2010, Norton Internet Security 2010, Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, Adobe Photoshop CS4, Clear File Search MRU History (Windows 7) and more.
- Improved logging (reporting) options
So, to get East-Tec Eraser 2009 for free, follow these simple directions:
Version being given out for free: v220.127.116.11
Supported OS: Windows 98/NT/2000/Server 2003/XP/Vista

East-Tec Eraser 2010 is available for free as a Christmas Giveaway at Softpedia, I don't know for how long, though.
thank you.
Nice software! Thank you
Thank You :)
This software is great! You rarely get privacy software at give aways. Thanks!
Does this erase residual data that still remains in unused portions of the disc space? I couldn't find mention of this capability in the various descriptions I looked at on the Web, but this is listed as a capability in the 2010 version.
never mind. i found it and it is installed successfully. thanx
i guess i'm the stupidest techie on the planet because i cannot find the link to the program. nice to know how to get it, but there is no it to get.
This is the same program as Cyberscrub, which I have used for years. I did the upgrade to the 2010 version for $20 and am quite happy with the performance with Windows 7. Thanks Ashraf.
Ashraf does East-Tec Eraser 2009 also erase private browsing tracks? Browsers claim that private browsing tracks are not recorded by them. In practical terms that data also can be recorded. So does this remove those tracks as well
Well I trust your opinion Ashraf so Ill give this a try,thank you :^)
merry christmas to all
and my best wishes for the new year
Nice software! Thank you Ashraf.
Do I understand rightly that neither Windows 7, nor Opera 10 are supported? If so, thanks for the offer, and thumbs up for your work, but I will have to pass this one today.
@Ashraf: Gotcha.
How long is this promotion going to last? and how soon do we have to install it in order to use the product key given? I plan on installing Windows 7 over this Christmas break and would love this addition, yet I wont have time for another week or so…
@Ashraf: "Note: This promotion is available to everyone – everyone may get it for free. However, this is a dotTech.org promotion. Please do not copy, paste, or reprint the download link or upload the installation file anywhere else including private or public forums, blogs, file hosting services, etc. If you want to spread information about this offer, you may link to this article by providing a permalink to your audience."
I just saw that one of the sites listed on the right as a dotTech friend is promoting this without the attribution you requested. http://www.blogsolute.com/east-tec-eraser-2009-serial-free-license-key-download/4640/
Is that kosher?
I use something simply called eraser. It seems to work well and you can also choose from many different scripts with the option to create your own. It also lets you verify the erase process by showing you the code for the file being erased after every pass. The website is http://heidi.ie/eraser/ is if anyone is interested.
Thanks Ashraf for this Great freebie.
A huge thank you for these great offers.
You're the man!. . . a huge "thank you" as always.
Hey Ashraf!!
Just a question for you: if, as you said, "East-Tec Eraser 2009″ is CCleaner + Heidi's Eraser into one program, does this mean that this freebie can replace once and for all CCleaner ?
I do thank you for this another great progra.
Maurizio from Italy
How big is this software? I don't want a huge beast program taking up power and space that only deletes files.
Thanks for another great freebie and review, Ashraf!

Question of adequate health care for women fuels debate
AUSTIN — Debates continue as to whether the state can provide enough women's health services since Texas has excluded abortion-affiliated providers from its low-income women's state health program.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has said it can provide enough service. The excluded Planned Parenthood has said it may not.
Proponents of Planned Parenthood claim two blows to women's health during the last legislative session.
First the lawmakers cut state family planning services by two-thirds, down from $111 million to $38 million, resulting in the closure of more than 50 centers that provided women's health care, including 14 Planned Parenthood centers.
Second, lawmakers decided to cut Planned Parenthood from the state's fund for low-income women's health care, restricting providers affiliated with abortion providers. The state program received about 90 percent of its funding through the federal government, and the federal government said the state was acting unconstitutionally, so the federal government cut the funding to the state health program.
Now the state has a new Texas Women's Health Program, and Planned Parenthood is asking the judicial system to let Planned Parenthood be among the providers. The decision is pending in the court system.
Proponents of Planned Parenthood have said there won't be enough providers to make up for the loss of the abortion-affiliated providers.
An HHSC study, however, suggested there are.
"HHSC surveyed Texas Women's Health Program providers by mail, email and phone in areas where a Planned Parenthood previously provided services," an HHSC news release states. "The survey found that overall the state has the capacity in those areas to serve more women in 2013. In fiscal year 2012, Planned Parenthood and other providers served 80,127 women in those areas of the state. The survey found that current providers in those areas have the ability to serve 147,513 Texas Women's Health Program patients in 2013."
"The biggest thing we're seeing is women who have been coming to us who are still trying to find a provider," said Carla Holeva, the CEO of Planned Parenthood of West Texas.
She said women are having trouble getting appointments soon, being told they may need to wait weeks or more than a month. And at times they get phone numbers of providers who are not in practice anymore or who have moved, Holeva said.
"The state is interested in continuing to provide services to women," said State Rep. Drew Darby, R-San Angelo. "The question becomes, how can we do so without involving Planned Parenthood in the funding process, because of the direct ties with providing abortions? The reality is they provide a lot of other services, and we need to make sure that women have access to those services."

18. Riding Guanajuato
I spent the night at Jose's parents beautiful home just outside of Guanajuato last night. Today I woke up to a delicious and traditional mexican breakfast prepared by Jose's mom Laura. Our plan was to do some riding up in the hills around Guanajuato and get a feel for what the area has to offer in terms of dirt riding.
Taylor, Jose's neighbor and childhood friend, showed up on his Honda 350 for the ride (he's got about 15 bikes, mostly sweet classic road bikes. Also, if you are interested in some great quality riding boots, check out his families boot company
Gasolina Boots
, hand crafted here in Guanojuato). Jose's dad hadn't seen this one so he gave it a sit, he seemed pleased.
We took off and headed out of town, climbing higher and higher into the hills that encircle Guanajuato.
Once we climbed to the ridgeline we followed it into a small town and stopped for a bite.
The menu had Tostadas but they were only 20 pesos (about $1.50) so I figured I should order two. Definitely too much food. I love eating in Mexico.
Just a mile or two down the road again we turned off and hit the dirt.
The riding was fun and the pace was good. The terrain varied quickly and widely. Some areas were full of green trees.
Some areas where much more open and scenic.
The bikes were happy and so was I.
Shit yeah, here comes the rain!
The shittier and more difficult the terrain the better, as far as I'm concerned.
It dumped rain for maybe an hour, and even hailed for a brief minute. We soaked it in and kept bombing. Eventually we came to what is normally a pretty dry creekbed.
All the rain had changed that though. Saweet, my first decent water crossing!
We walked it with a stick to see what the ground was like underneath. No big rocks just heavy silt, perfect. The water was about up to our knees so we cracked the throttles open and let em rip.
Bikes across. The locals waiting for the water to die down seemed impressed.
Taylors bike had lost some power so we stopped for a bit and let stuff dry out.
The sun came back out and you could see it baking the water right out of the hills again. Weather seems to change here pretty fast.
Taylor pulled the plugs, drained his carb, and had her running again lickety split.
We cracked the throttles again and burned back up in elevation towards the ridgelines.
Beautiful riding up here.
I see a telephone pole. We must be getting near town again.
Jose said this is the last highest point, from here it's all elevation drop back down into Guanajuato. Having a blast.
Vanity shot.
A few more miles and we were winding our way back into town.
When we made it back to Jose's house we were all both soaked and satisfied. I feel like this was the most fun day of dirt riding that I have had. I'm not sure exactly why though. If I look at it on paper it was a pretty straightforward afternoon ride through the hills. It doesn't
like a normal day though, I feel like I had an absolute blast. Maybe it was because we had a little bit of everything? Good twisty tarmac, good dirt, fun shitty weather at times, and problems to solve (getting lost, sucking water into a motor, etc). Maybe it's the whole package of Guanajuato, the riding, and the people that is making it so good here. Or maybe, just maybe, Mexico is just starting to soak it's way into my bones, and color everything slightly differently.
When we got back home Jose's mom had cooked us up an
authentic mexican dinner. Thanks Laura! After dinner we shot the shit for a bit then rolled into Guanajuato to partake in the saturday night festivities. FIC was still going on so the place was packed. We found a little bar and knocked a few drinks back and laughed about the day. After a few rounds of mescal we decided it was best just to get a bottle (PS apparently I really like Mescal). Here the bottles are pretty cheap. It's likely made and distributed locally as the bottle appears homemade and has no labeling of any kind. Once again, hard not to feel like you are in a colonial era pub. No way to know what it is until you drink it, but damn is it good stuff. Tastes like mildly spiced tequila.
The night went on and the drinks flowed. Eventually our bottle was done and it was time to head to a different place. Walking around the alleys and twisty streets there is a cacophony of smells from all the food stands that line the streets. With a head full of mescal, each stand is all but irresistible. We choose wisely and go with a Guanajuato staple. Apparently this lady can be found here every Friday - Sunday, without fail. All the food is cooked by her during the day and then brought down to the street in buckets. The types of meat and toppings are many and the combinations of the options are endless. We ate here twice before the night was done.
Well Guanajuato, tomorrow I am heading out. Not sure where yet, but the time has come. Thank you for the good riding, good food, good people, and good times.
Guanajuato, congratulations, you are doing it right.

Hi Sue -

Third, is to use CHGLF to place most, if not all, of your logical files
onto SSD. Most applications use LFs to access the data, and this can
speed processing significantly while not requiring lots of space.
I'm really wondering how much benefit this would be. By implication,
the physical files would still be on the regular hard drives, and so
the system would still have to go to the regular hard drives to
retrieve the record data.

Sea surface temperatures play a crucial role in climate, but clouds block the infrared radiation on which most weather satellites rely. Although they can be blocked by rain, microwave emissions are not affected by cloud (

Caroline Morahan - an appreciation (with a trowel)
I am splenderfully, totastically, absolifically and bounding fluffily bunnily in love with Caroline Morahan.
She's...she's...she's just a little bit wonderful so she is.
C'mere and I'll tell you all about her.
Did you know, quailing children will quieten and smile if she stoops and gently touches their cheek and smiles upon them? (It's like ET used to do it, only without the retractible neck and somewhat stilted vocabulary).
It's said that when Caroline Morahan sings in the shower, the birds outside her window stop their chorus to listen, but they get frustrated because as winged creatures they can't applaud properly at the end. So they chitter and poo excitedly on her car instead, and then feel all dirty and inadequate, but they still come back for more.
I'm sure you all know about the famous poet who thought it the stuff of high compliment to describe a woman as the Sunday in every week, and I never met the Planter's Daughter in question but if she was all that, then Caroline Morahan is a whole month of Sundays because she's 31 times nicer than any other woman in the world and that's a fact.
Some of my closest friends are reindeers you know, and none of them are as doe-eyed as Caroline Morahan.
I secretly watched the RTE fashion show Off the Rails just so I could see what Caroline Morahan was wearing that week. The time they did a section on what the best jeans were for flattering your arse I almost fainted because it was basically a genteel form of porn from where I was sitting and besides, I defy anyone to manufacture a pair of jeans that curvaceous and wonderful Caroline Morahan doesn't look good in.
When we dance together, as someday we surely will, Caroline will glide with a light, fluid grace while I'll be like a dressage horse playing Twister, but my comic haplessness will only endear me to her all the more. The same will apply when we recreate eroticpottery scenes from the film Ghost.
Listen, do new parents ever bring a baby into your office to show to all the ladies, and when the infant does something cute, all the simultaneous 'AWWWWWWs' in the air sounds like 68 vacuum cleaners all switching off at once? I am similarly awwwwwww struck by Caroline alright, but she never ever turns me off.
The first time Caroline Morahan comes over to stay, as someday she surely will, she will wear one of my shirts to bed and keep it on all of the next day as she pads about the house being lovely. She'll be looking at me from under her eyes and calling me a 'bold scamp' and hitting me with the cushions to stop me tickling her and making her all weak at the knees. Our life would in fact be a series of such cute movie montages, with click this! as the soundtrack.
Yea, I'd roll naked through a mile of broken glass and back again for the hell of it, just for the privilege of picking some stray lettuce out of her flawless smile. I'd be performing a service and getting a keepsake at the same time and who knows, maybe in time that lettuce would grow whole again and then I could eat it myself.
But snort! Do you know what the the really good thing is? We all know that she'll consider me quite the catch.
Call me, babe!

Never heard of her.
Emma Bunton for the win.

Oh you're the catch all right---it's not just any man who can dance like a dressage horse playing Twister!
I hope she's got her Google Alerts on, Moo. This one would be hard to resist! (good luck)

I saw her coming out the cinema not long ago. Her eye shadow a hypnotic shade of green, her high heels set at a dizzying height, rose petals falling from her pockets as she strode away quickly from my rat like claws. Quite a sight.
- January 23, 2009 2:18 p.m.
- Terence McDanger said...
Maxi, don't be getting all flippant with me. You'd drink her bath water, admit it.
Susan, just like in Wayne's World: She will be mine, she will be mine...
Lyrical stuff Leeroy. Was, she, er...um...was she with anyone at all? Cough cough...
- January 23, 2009 3:43 p.m.
- Radge said...
She was with me. Stay. The. Fuck. Away.
Actually, no, I'm not playing that game. You've already stolen The Good Doctor from me.
Also, a secret is only a secret if you refrain from telling your audience about it, you daft benny.
- January 23, 2009 4:17 p.m.
- Terence McDanger said...
Radge! Possessiveness of the Good Doctor runs contrary to the big heart and generous spirit of the man himself. He wouldn't have it this way. I can only hope the big man himself isn't looking in, this sort of thing disappoints him gravely. For shame Radge, for shame.
She will be mine, she will be mine, she will be mine...

Ahhhhhh to be in love! It's a good thing she will call you a "bold scamp" instead of a bald tramp! :)

Haha . . never heard of her either but she is a 'comely lass'. Not that I bat for that team mind. Dream on McDanger . . .fantasy is good for the soul.

Terence, she was with someone. An old woman who she was kindly helping back to her motor vehicle. I took the reg and left it at that.

- hope said...
Everyone has a dream. At least yours is attractive. ;)
- January 24, 2009 8:05 p.m.
- Terence McDanger said...
Kev, she can call me Geraldine Squishyballs if she likes. As long as she's snogging the face off me I wouldn't have a care in the world.
Cheers Baino/hope, I reckon she'd harvest a few lesbians even though you're not in that club yourself. She's a cracka!
Nice work Leeroy. Captures her generous spirit, and your own nascent stalker tendencies.
- January 26, 2009 12:09 p.m.
- Radge said...
Your not-so-secret secret crush is out, Terence.
Over to you, Caroline. Make it happen.
- February 23, 2009 10:16 a.m.
- Terence McDanger said...
It's on. I know she, like, sooooo wants me.
- February 23, 2009 7:02 p.m.

Terence, did you hear Ian Dempsey quote your love of fair Caroline to her on the morning show?
She is aware of your admiration.. that has to be a good thing!
