Adam Lallana was left scratching his head after Southampton somehow managed to lose to Aston Villa and vowed to make amends against Manchester City this weekend.
Saints enjoyed 77 per cent possession in Wednesday night's Barclays Premier League clash, having 21 shots and completing almost six times as many passes as Villa.
Paul Lambert's side managed just three shots on target but all of those found the back of the net, with Gabriel Agbonlahor, Libor Kozak and Fabian Delph netting in a 3-2 win at St Mary's.
It was Saints' first home defeat of the season and their third loss in succession - hardly the best preparation for Saturday's encounter with high-flying City.
"It's such a strange feeling now," Lallana told Saints Player. "It's just one of those games.
"I can't wait to go back and play Villa because I thought they didn't deserve to get anything out of the game and we deserved to get a result. I want to go there later on in the season and get three points.
"We've got a big game on Saturday, massive in fact.
"It's not that we're not playing well. We are playing well. We might have a couple of knocks on the back of this game, so we've just got to assess everyone [on Thursday].
"We've got to prepare and get everyone as fit as we can. It is a big month. We've proved we can beat Man City. We did last season, so let's do it again."
February's 3-1 defeat of City was the first victory of Pochettino's reign, when a series of errors at the back cost the title hopefuls.
Last night it was Southampton reeling from defensive mistakes, meaning equalisers from Jay Rodriguez and Dani Osvaldo counted for nothing.
Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino said it was "the type of game you lose maybe once in 1,000", but counterpart Lambert disagreed entirely.
"You show me a stat that wins you a game of football and I might try and buy it," the Villa boss said of the one-sided match facts.
"I've had pats on my back in certain games when we've been turned over. It is not what you look for - you try and win.
"I thought we deserved to win the game. There have been times when we have had loads of the ball and got nothing. All you get is a pat on the back.
"We needed three points and I thought we were lethal in front of goal.
"I thought Agbonlahor's goal was world class - when he is like that with his speed and power there are not many people can catch him.
"The second goal was a terrific header from Kozak and the third goal was worthy of any win.
"I think we should have had a penalty when Christian Benteke gets brought down, so I am delighted with the lads."

Falling head over heels in love with Kim Kardashian isn't the only thing Kanye West is up to. According to MissInfo.TV, West is screening his short art film "Cruel Summer" at Cannes Film Festival in France, which is open to the public on May 24 and May 25. As if being a super producer, rapper and fashion designer weren't enough to keep the superstar busy, he's moving forward full throttle with his interests in filmmaking and directing. He's taken a stab at directing before with his 35 minute video to "Runaway" from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. What exactly "Cruel Summer" will be about was left a mystery. But it's Kanye West, so we're confident it's going to be an explosion of abstract art following a concept that is provocative. It will get the people going!
Per the Def Jam released press release, Kanye and his creative collective DONDA are screening the film out of competition. It promises to deliver something unlike anything we've seen from Yeezy before. The press release stated, "Inspired by the new G.O.O.D. Music album of the same name, CRUEL SUMMER is a fusion of short film and art installation; an immersive '7 Screen Experience' for the eyes and ears unlike anything West has attempted before." If you're in France, the RSVP details are on Mr. West's website.
For those of us that can't make it to Cannes, France, we'll have to live vicariously through YouTube (at least we hope it ends up on there anyway). The possibilities of what Yeezy will do are endless. And considering he's working on an upcoming album of the same title makes it all the more sweet. Let the "Cruel Summer" begin.

Fresh Corn with Wild Rice
Mmmmm. This is one of those Thanksgiving side dishes. Textural. Flavorful. Set apart from the fray. I've been making it for years and years, and every year my love for it deepens.
It's Fresh Corn with Wild Rice—and before we go any farther, let me point out that I'm not talking about the typical boxed "long grain and wild rice" product that, don't get me wrong, is perfectly delicious on a Tuesday night with your chicken. But on one certain Thursday in November…we need to use the real deal: dark, almost black, thin-grained wild rice, whose texture is pretty hard to forget.
I cook the wild rice in chicken broth to give it some extra flavor, then mix the cooked rice with kernels of corn cut fresh off the cob, heavy cream, eggs, butter, salt, cayenne pepper, and a splash of milk at the end to get the consistency just right. Baking it in the oven binds the mixture together, and the result is a delicious, slightly crunchy, creamy and delightful masterpiece…with the firm bite of the rustically yummy wild rice.
What more can I say? Let me just show you.
The Cast of Characters: Fresh corn, heavy cream, eggs, butter, salt, cayenne pepper, milk, and wild rice. Step away from the Uncle Ben's.
I love you, Uncle Ben. I used to eat you with cottage cheese as an after school snack.
Begin by cooking the wild rice according to package directions. Instead of water, though, I like to use chicken broth—or a mixture of chicken broth and water. Gives it a nice punch of flavor.
When the broth is boiling, pour in the wild rice.
When I first started making this many years ago, our little small town grocery store didn't carry plain wild rice. They do now. Hallelujah. Amen.
Now cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for quite awhile—usually at least 45 minutes. We want the rice to be almost completely cooked, but still have a nice bite to it.
Now, ignoring my dumb hand, thoroughly shuck the corn so that most of the silks are gone…a few stragglers won't hurt.
NOTE: I'm sure this recipe would work JUST FINE with storebought frozen corn! I'd sure use frozen rather than canned for this recipe.
Now, place each ear of corn into a large bowl, and with a hard-water-spotted and very sharp knife, begin slicing downward, cutting off the kernels and allowing them to fall into the bowl.
Go ahead and cut right down to the quick—you want every bit of goodness you can get.
Your goal is to leave the cob forlorn, stripped naked, and alone.
The reason you do this straight into the bowl is, if the corn is very juicy, it can splatter all over the kitchen. And I don't like to sign myself up for any more mundane cleaning jobs than absolutely necessary.
Soon you'll have a nice pile of corn, which you'll be tempted to grab and nosh on. And go ahead! No one's looking.
Next, crack two eggs into a small bowl.
And beat them together with a fork.
Check on the rice; it's about done.
Drain the rice, then pour it onto a plate to allow it to cool quickly.
You'll want it to cool so it won't cook the eggs.
Meanwhile, back at the corn kernels.
(I've always wanted to say that!)
Begin by pouring in the cream. You know you want to.
Next, cut up the butter and add it in…
And here's the kicker: salt. You must use salt. You must use enough salt. Salt is your friend.
Actually, salt is not your friend. Salt is Satan. Don't listen to me.
Then sprinkle in some cayenne pepper. I usually use about 1/4 teaspoon…but if you think you can handle the truth of the cayenne, go for it!
Now, add in 2 cups cooked wild rice, stirring gently…but constantly.
If the mixture seems overly thick, splash in a little milk. It should be thick, but stirrable.
Stir together, then taste to check the seasonings.
And don't be afraid to add a little more salt.
Next, generously butter a baking dish.
Stir mixture together, then pour into baking dish.
Flatten out the surface, "encouraging" the corn to be somewhat submerged in the egg/milk mixture below.
Now put it in a 350-degree oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until light brown on top. You can let it sit for a bit before serving.
Mmmmm. Did someone say "serving?"
In the words of my immortal brother, Mike…"Oh, Lord." It's the crunchiness of the corn. The chewiness of the rice. The creaminess of the other ingredients.
It's delicious, is what it is.
And I know you're going to love it. Try it this holiday season!
Posted with lots and lots of Thanksgiving side dish love, Ree Drummond.

This one I have got to try.
Sheila On Thursday, October 9 at 9:12 am
My old swedish neighbor made something similar to this! It was delish! Thanks for the recipe, I'm trying it this Sunday!!
Susan On Thursday, October 9 at 9:13 am
PW Diddy….As a veggie…I will cook the wild rice in vegetable broth and I am DEFINITELY making this for Sunday dinner.
its a winner
Eli On Thursday, October 9 at 9:14 am
That looks fantastic Ree! Thanks!
Susan in Colorado On Thursday, October 9 at 9:15 am
Another one wondering about the corn…frozen corn??
Emily Rose On Thursday, October 9 at 9:16 am
This looks wonderful- so much more exciting than regular corn on Thanksgiving! I love wild rice- we used to eat it a lot when we were kids- but my brother refused to eat it for awhile because he was convinced that they were roach legs. I guess that's what happens when you live in a sub-tropical environment like New Orleans where the cockroaches are the length of your palm!
Rebecca Loudon On Thursday, October 9 at 9:19 am
I'd love to cook this for Thanksgiving, since my son's girlfriend will be present (a first) and I need to fancy up my veggie table a bit. I've never been able to cook wild rice though. It's either tooth-chipping hard or stuck in a giant mass in the bottom of the pan. I will NOT GIVE UP. Thanks for this.
Rebecca Loudon
Anne Marie On Thursday, October 9 at 9:20 am
Mmmmm, now this looks like a thoroughly American dish that couldn't be more perfect for Thanksgiving! Can't wait to give it a try, thanks!
Annie On Thursday, October 9 at 9:21 am
Oooooh! Looks delicious! I love corn, in any form. Haha! That rhymed…sort of.
I even think my kids might eat this. Maybe. Maybe the Thanksgiving spirit has my optimism at an all time high and I'm just fooling myself.
I will definitely give this one a try (and 'try' is the right word, I'm not a cook). Thanks for all the fantastic recipes. Even my 21 year old daughter is hooked on your yummy food goodness and has tried a couple of your recipes. This from a child who only 'cooks' mac and cheese from the blue box (she's a lot like her mother). There is hope!
Cathy in MN On Thursday, October 9 at 9:22 am
Can't believe I never thought of mixing those two. I have to try this. YUM! I will have to hit up some of the locals for more wild rice. (fresh stuff)
Judi Loy Smith On Thursday, October 9 at 9:23 am
Sounds and looks like a variation of your fresh corn casserole, for which I am eternally grateful…man, that was good.
P. S.. Don't worry about the hard water stains…my mother used to say the water was harder in the county where you live and where I grew up (same county), than any other place in the country.
Robin On Thursday, October 9 at 9:23 am
My family is from Minnesota so whenever somebody visits I make them bring me wild rice. I have some that I have been hoarding for awhile, I think it may finally be the time to break it out!
Libby On Thursday, October 9 at 9:23 am
Well – thanks a lot. Now there is another dish I will HAVE to make for Thanksgiving!
Nikki On Thursday, October 9 at 9:29 am
Hey you have a new website! How awesome! You look absoutely beautiful! Nice work on the recipe too!
Joy On Thursday, October 9 at 9:32 am
Okay, where do you get FRESH corn in November??? Will "fresh frozen off the cob" work????
Faceless Graceless On Thursday, October 9 at 9:35 am
Oh, does that look good! Darn my "allergic to corn, dairy, and eggs" son!
Ashley On Thursday, October 9 at 9:36 am
I've never seen anything quite like that before. Very creative. And what a beautiful baking dish!
April in CT On Thursday, October 9 at 9:40 am
Oh lawd… I'm SO making this with Thanksgiving this year. I've been wanting to mix up my regular menu and this is THE thang!
So the water doesn't have to be totally absorbed by the rice to be done since we drain it?
Cecilia On Thursday, October 9 at 9:41 am
Where in the world do you find fresh corn in November?
Susan On Thursday, October 9 at 9:42 am
I'm printing this one off, Ree. I have 10 folders filled to the gills with your recipes! Geezy Peezy, your cookbook never ends and my pantry runneth over.
the domestic fringe On Thursday, October 9 at 9:43 am
Looks so yummy. I love to serve new dishes on Thanksgiving. Thanks.
Samantha McKenzie On Thursday, October 9 at 9:44 am
Yum! Ok- 1) I'm not waiting until Thanksgiving to try it and 2) where are we getting fresh corn in November from?! Do you think it will be just as good if I freeze some fresh corn now?
mosheep/Denise On Thursday, October 9 at 9:44 am
Looks absolutely delicious.
Will try for a Sunday dinner.
But we can't get fresh corn here at Thanksgiving
and all the fresh corn is long gone around these parts.
Mamadallama On Thursday, October 9 at 9:47 am
This looks seriously good. I don't think there will be any fresh corn in these parts at Thanksgiving time. In fact, I don't think there's any right now. Well, maybe there's some somewhere. Just not where I've been lookin',
Jamie Bee @ Baldwin Bungalow On Thursday, October 9 at 9:49 am
Thank you for sharing – it looks delicious. I've never cooked wild rice before but we're big rice-eaters in our house.
Blue On Thursday, October 9 at 9:51 am
that sounds absolutely heavenly! wish there was a dish of it waiting in my kitchen right now, cause i'd eat it for breakfast. oh wait, i actually already ate breakfast. Cream of wheat, which is most commonly called COW here. being budget-minded as we are (especially in these pressing economic times, it's the most common kind of cow we get in our diet. every few months we get some beef…but it quickly racks the food bill up if you eat meat regularly. so though we're not vegetarians, we get our protein more from beans, eggs, peanut butter etc. i have no idea what this has to do with corn and wild rice though. i should dash out and see if you can even buy fresh corn any more! we may have to have this long before turkey day. ahh, turkey day! meat! yum!
Brenda On Thursday, October 9 at 9:52 am
Mmmmmmmmmmm. I need some of that.
Stacy On Thursday, October 9 at 9:52 am
Oooh – looks good! I'll definately have to try this one!
Adri On Thursday, October 9 at 9:59 am
I think that I'm going to have to put this on the table for Thanksgiving this Sunday!
Looks fantastic Ree; thanks a bunch
gingela5 On Thursday, October 9 at 10:01 am
Yummy–looks great!
Amy in Texas On Thursday, October 9 at 10:02 am
Looks good! And I LOVE your baking dish, it is adorable!
Pepper On Thursday, October 9 at 10:03 am
This looks exceptionally good. And it has such anattractive, 'autumn' color to it lol. I'll definitely be giving this a try on turkey day…maybe sooner!
Julie at Elisharose On Thursday, October 9 at 10:04 am
I would have never thought of putting those two together. You are such a good matchmaker.
denise On Thursday, October 9 at 10:06 am
I've never cared that much about dinnerware and serving dishes, but seeing you pull out beautiful china every day is starting to make me drool.
Tammy On Thursday, October 9 at 10:09 am
Yum..but it needs some shredded jack cheese…
Uncle Ben and cottage cheese?? What's that all about??
Home with Mandy On Thursday, October 9 at 10:11 am
If I were not so violently allergic to wild rice, I would duplicate this recipe. The photos look wonderful Ree!
Jennifer On Thursday, October 9 at 10:14 am
YUM! That looks heavenly. I love corn and rice, so I'm sure I will love this. I bet it would be good if you mixed in a little cream cheese before baking!
Texas Rhea On Thursday, October 9 at 10:14 am
That looks fabulously delicious.
I love the way the corn looks, alone and naked. Seriously. It's cool.
Denise On Thursday, October 9 at 10:15 am
That looks so delicious, but I can't get fresh corn around here in November. Boo! I could use frozen (eek) corn?
Wonders Never Cease On Thursday, October 9 at 10:16 am
My first born, corn loving daughter is home from college and I'm going to fix this for her tonight!
Thanks Ree!
Liz On Thursday, October 9 at 10:17 am
does it absolutely have to be fresh corn?
Susan On Thursday, October 9 at 10:20 am
Now that looks really good. I love that both the corn and rice kernels are still whole and not overpowered by the batter mixture. Thanks, Ree.
Erica On Thursday, October 9 at 10:25 am
Now that looks delicious. I have a freezer FULL of corn! I will have to try this one soon
Kathy On Thursday, October 9 at 10:31 am
Yum–thanks, Ree!
Annette in CA On Thursday, October 9 at 10:33 am
I love wild rice!!!! I make a wild rice stuffing that is to die for, but I might try this instead this year.
cathy On Thursday, October 9 at 10:35 am
Angela Tippets On Thursday, October 9 at 10:37 am
I think it sounds good, but my children would most likely turn their noses up at the looks.
catnip On Thursday, October 9 at 10:41 am
This looks great, but I'll have to do it with frozen corn, cause fresh corn in NH in November – not gonna happen!
Mary S On Thursday, October 9 at 10:42 am
I thought I had cooked every side dish in the world for Thanksgiving…but this one is new to me…and it looks great. These are great ingredients…and it's a warm buttery, creamy…yet crunchy…perfect idea…thanks, I'll use this!
Choosy Beggar Tina On Thursday, October 9 at 10:43 am
I adore wild rice. I love the slight chew and the nutty flavor. This is also a great reminder that I haven't made wild rice in ages. Enough of my rice and beans, I'm on to rice and corn!
mohawkins On Thursday, October 9 at 10:47 am
My sister has Thanksgiving at her house every year and every year I look for something new and different from what everybody else brings. Thank you for this recipe. It sounds delish and I'm sure it will be enjoyed by all.
nancy On Thursday, October 9 at 10:49 am
PULLLEEEESE ANSWER…. if we do not live in corn on the cob for the asking country… can we use sorry…. frozen…
or I guess canned… I usually by frozen.. it is fresher
recipe looks luscious… but we need to know…
Alisa On Thursday, October 9 at 10:49 am
This looks delicious Ree! thanks for the recipe! I can't wait to try it!
Linds On Thursday, October 9 at 10:52 am
yum! i second nancy's question though – whats the story with frozen/canned corn for the recipe if there is no fresh to be found?
What Happens Next... On Thursday, October 9 at 10:52 am
This is definitely going on the menu this year!
Kelly On Thursday, October 9 at 10:53 am
I have never seen anything like that before! But it looks delicious! I need to get out more.
Erin On Thursday, October 9 at 10:56 am
I'm wondering how shredded parm would taste if you added it on top right before you bake it…hmmmmm.
LO! On Thursday, October 9 at 11:02 am
Ah, the beauty of a well-lit kitchen.
That dish is lovely… and I'm sure it tastes just as good as it looks.
Staci On Thursday, October 9 at 11:02 am
Oh mylanta….that looks so good! My husband doesn't like rice, but I am going to make this anyways!!
andipandi On Thursday, October 9 at 11:09 am
This sounds fabulous. Amazing. You think we could do most of the prep, and then bake the next day? And what if fresh corn is an issue in November? Is Frozen ok?
Carol On Thursday, October 9 at 11:09 am
Oh my Lord! That looks sinful. Do you exercise? I have only been reading you a short while and have tried so many of your recipes. I am getting plump. Just in time for the holidays. Do you have an antedote for me?
nancypants On Thursday, October 9 at 11:10 am
Mmmm… Looks good. I can see this being good with black beans in it too… I love black beans… of course, you know, everyone would have to clear the room afterwards but it would be worth it for the yum factor! :^P
Robin On Thursday, October 9 at 11:29 am
Yummy! I hope the kids don't like this casserole…more for me! Thanks Ree. I would also be interested if you can make this a day ahead, or freeze it….any suggestions for not killing myself on TG day?
Robyn On Thursday, October 9 at 11:35 am
I think I might just make that this year, because that look goooooooood!
One question: Do we want to scrape the milky part out of the cob like you do with your delicious recipe for corn casserole, or would that make the mixture too watery?
Fig On Thursday, October 9 at 11:36 am
I don't understand the corn-mixing haters – corn is one of our favorite things to mix into other dishes. We especially love it in spaghetti with meat sauce, and Mexican rice – adds such a great crunch! Of course, I like my food textural. Some folks don't. I guess that's okay.
Thanks for such a cool idea, I can't wait to try this!
Darcy On Thursday, October 9 at 11:42 am
Is the rice warm enough to melt the butter? that is my only question- it looks like it wouldnt really get distrubuted evenly. Looks delish though!
Ashley On Thursday, October 9 at 11:43 am
Please tell me where you get your decorative baking dishes!
Andrea On Thursday, October 9 at 11:43 am
My mother has made a corn pie that is somewhat similar to this dish. It has a crust and topping of cracker crumbs and doesn't have the wild rice, but it is always a staple at our Thanksgiving dinners.
BTW: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your dishes in this post.
Patsy Thompson On Thursday, October 9 at 11:46 am
I am looking forward to your cookbook coming out in 09.
You might also consider checking into putting it on a CD. They seem to be quick popular at this time.
sara On Thursday, October 9 at 11:47 am
Other than the cayenne pepper, I would say this recipe has me salivating more than any you've ever posted. Must be the farm girl in me, but that looks GOOD.
To be fair, though, you haven't taught us how to make donuts yet. I would salivate.
Karen from NC On Thursday, October 9 at 11:48 am
It looks delious! And easy! I can't wait to try it! I
Maybe I will make it for Thanksgiving along with my sausage stuffing, I always make! My husband has a big family and we usually go to one of his sister's houses for Thanksgiving!
Thanks Ree!
k8 On Thursday, October 9 at 11:49 am
Creamed Corn makes me gag, so the addition of wild rice might make it palatable! Yippee! Something new to try.
Shay On Thursday, October 9 at 11:53 am
Ha ha, I like how there's a suspicious plate of corn in the background after you said it was OK to nosh on the corn.
Michelle On Thursday, October 9 at 12:05 pm
The best kitchen tip I've read in years is this: when cutting kernels off the cob, put the ear of corn in the hole of a bundt pan and slice away. The ear stays steady and the kernels fall into the bowl of the pan. So simple, and it makes me feel better about buying that bundt pan that I've used to make a cake exactly once since buying it a year ago.
Momma Kraft On Thursday, October 9 at 12:12 pm
I am at school right now..and missed my lunch because of a student..this is making my mouth water..I am going home and making it tonight!
Jessi On Thursday, October 9 at 12:13 pm
This sounds wonderful! I will be taste testing this one here soon for the holidays.
I agree with #163 about black beans in it, YUM! We are also one of those family who will add corn to about any recipe to see what it turns out like
Thanks for another great looking recipe.
Mary On Thursday, October 9 at 12:17 pm
Hi- just a hint, if you put a smaller bowl inside your big bowl upside down and balance the corn ear on that you can get a better angle on your cutting, and not bang the side of your knife on the big bowl.
Love the site!
Marcy On Thursday, October 9 at 12:18 pm
mmmmmm that looks super yummy! I'm trying it for Thanksgiving! Thanks Pioneer Woman!
caren On Thursday, October 9 at 12:19 pm
This sounds so good! I am going to try it this weekend. I make an awesome chicken, wild rice casserole that I love!
Stacy On Thursday, October 9 at 12:20 pm
It looks like this might actually be gluten free! Hooray!
I have to say that I am glad that my celiac disease was diagnosed AFTER I tried your lasagna (swoon…). Thanks for the memories!!
Lori On Thursday, October 9 at 12:30 pm
I got wild rice from my Minnesota BIL which he gathered himself. Now I have an idea what to do with it! I will try this recipe for Thanksgiving this year. Thanks PW
cptwentworth On Thursday, October 9 at 12:33 pm
It seems bizarre to me, a hodge-podge of things thrown in…but I think I'm going to make it anyway. I'm going to bring it to my church home group and try it out on them first. And then I'll get rave reviews, "Where DID you get this recipe, it's delish!" And I'll secretly smile and then share the love.
PB Rippey/sleepless mother On Thursday, October 9 at 12:34 pm
This and the mystery biscuits will be great side dishes this year. Thanks!
susan On Thursday, October 9 at 12:40 pm
Looks good. I will have to try it this for my inlaws at Thanksgving. I try to introduce somethng new each year.
I use an old angel food cake pan when I cut corn off the cob: just set the cob on the center section and cut away. I have an old beat up pan just for this use. (it is a bit hacked up from the occasional slips of the electric knife)
Terri in Iowa On Thursday, October 9 at 12:43 pm
Hmmmm…the husband has been searching for a dish to take to my aunt/uncle's house for T-giving this year. I'll suggest this to him.
Jillian On Thursday, October 9 at 12:44 pm
Oh lord this looks delicious. I'm a sucker for corn and I love wild rice. Definitely making this as my required dish for our Thanksgiving get together.
Your bit about letting the rice cool so it didn't cook the eggs made me laugh out loud. I made that mistake that first time I baked my grandmothers molasses cookies, only it was the butter I didn't let cool (like the recipe told me to). The cookies were still good, if a bit textured. I'm off to find your chex mix recipe, as I just found out the guy I'm seeing has never had homemade chex mix. Positively scandalous.
Nikki H On Thursday, October 9 at 12:44 pm
I like how this sounds, but I don't care for wild rice, so I'm wondering if regular rice would do instead.
Sandy On Thursday, October 9 at 12:47 pm
Wondered about adding green beans to this as well? Good for color and I love the taste of corn and green beans together. Just a thought . . . ;0)
Tania On Thursday, October 9 at 12:53 pm
I've added it to the menu to try next week! Thanks, Ree! I didn't mention yet that I made the winner of the dairy recipe contest, the black bean soup, last weekend and DH loved it. I thought it was ok but he really liked it.
Carolyn On Thursday, October 9 at 12:53 pm
Oh my, this looks yummy.

LOL My mom is pretty good at find stuff that you normally don't find in the grocery stores. Thanks Ree!!! Hope your having a wonderful Thursday!!! Oh by the way………will you and your family be watching the OU & TX game this Saturday???
The Italian Dish On Thursday, October 9 at 1:05 pm
I've never seen this side dish. How interesting. It's going right in my recipe file!
Lisa On Thursday, October 9 at 1:13 pm
I have a small question. Do you think already grilled, chopped off the cob, and then frozen corn would work in this recipe? Just asking, cause I've got some.LOL
Lisa in Jax
Susie On Thursday, October 9 at 1:20 pm
Oh. My. Gosh. This sounds delectable. Can't wait to try it with the wild rice I just bought in the wonderful, amazing, bountiful, bulk food section of Wincos!
Kelly W On Thursday, October 9 at 1:32 pm
That's one pretty baking dish {goes off to pout in the corner}.
Nadia On Thursday, October 9 at 1:32 pm
Thanks! Thanksgiving in my world is this Monday – its nice to have another dish to add in time!
Jen H On Thursday, October 9 at 1:32 pm
Well, not a big fan of corn mixed with anything… but dang you P-Dub, between the knives that I HAD to buy, since I didn't win. and the longing for a digital SLR camera, and a kitchen aid mixer. Well now I get to add China Patterns to the mix…
Julie On Thursday, October 9 at 1:36 pm
I can't wait to try this. I do have some frozen corn from this season, and I still might be able to get my hands on some 82 day stuff. But I'll try it with the frozen and report back. It has a 'Thanksgivingish' look. when I serve it, I'll say this is an authentic American Indian dish brought to the table at that very first Thanksgiving!

When Mike Groselle finally got the ball to go in the basket, Citadel coach Chuck Driesell yelled Timeout! and looked up hopefully at the scoreboard.
Alas, there were only sixth-tenths of a second left, and the Bulldogs were done. A 69-65 loss to Samford sent The Citadel to its 10th straight loss before 1,038 fans at McAlister Field House.
The Citadel fell to 3-11 overall and 0-4 in the Southern Conference, with one more chance to snap its skid during the current homestand against rival College of Charleston on Monday.
Were in striking range, said Driesell, whose team has lost its last two games by a total of nine points after losing eight straight by an average of 28. But it still feels really bad. Ive got a lot of guys who are upset that we are not winning. But I think they see the light at the end of the tunnel. They are starting to believe that they can win these games, and thats important.
Samford (5-12, 3-1) completed its conquest of Charleston it beat College of Charleston, 62-57, on Thursday with 22 points from freshman Clide Geffrard Jr. and 15 each from sophomore guard Raijon Kelly and freshman center Tim Williams.
Samford also made life hard for Groselle, a 6-8 senior and The Citadels top scorer. Samford often fronted Groselle with Geffrard Jr., a bouncy 6-5 wing player, and had the 6-8 Williams lurking on the backside.
Groselle was held to one shot in the first half and finished with eight points and 11 rebounds on 3 of 10 shooting, his third single-digit scoring performance in the last five games.
Were seeing that quite a bit from other teams, Driesell said. Teams are leaving our perimeter players open to help on the weak side. But our guys knocked down some 3s tonight, and thats what we need to do consistently if teams are going to do that.
The Citadel hit 11 of 25 3-point shots, including 4 of 9 from freshman Matt Van Scyoc, who led the team with 19 points. But it wasnt enough to overcome 16 turnovers, many of them on attempts to get the ball to Groselle in the post.
Most of the problem is were just not calm enough with the ball, said Van Scyoc, A couple of times I forced it in there, trying to get it past some people. Weve got to make sure we can get the ball down low to Mike where he wants it.
Van Scyoc scored 17 of his 19 points in the first half, but went 0 of 6 from the floor in the second half after Samford coach Bennie Seltzer assigned 6-4 junior Will Cook to shadow him. Citadel guard Marshall Harris had 12 points, seven assists and four steals, and P.J. Horgan scored 11 points off the bench.
Down 65-63, The Citadel got the ball and a timeout with 67 seconds left, but had to settle for a Van Scyoc trey that bounced off the back iron. Samford made four free throws before Groselles futile final basket.
Before this road trip, Samford had not won a game in the Lowcountry since a 1979 win at Charleston Southern (then Baptist College). It had never beaten College of Charleston, nor won at McAlister Field House.
I cant say enough about how proud of my guys I am, said first-year coach Seltzer, a former Indiana assistant. Our young guys are starting to understand what we want as a staff. Were still a work in progress.
At 3-1, Samford is tied for second place in the SoCon North Division behind Western Carolina (4-0).

So, if you are looking for something you can give your valentine, why don't you try this?
Step 2: The chain
Then, make a chain of 12.
Step 3: Shaping a bit
For the next 3, one single crochet.
Then we're gonna shape it a bit.
Make sure you have two loops, like usually, BUT instead of pulling the third loop through the first two, leave them on your crochet needle and continue to your next loop. Repeat this untill you have four loops on your crochet needle. Make a fith one and pull it through all four loops. This way you start your heart shape.
Step 4: We don't turn around
In the last chain, make single crochets until you have turned around.
From now on, it's gonna be a bit about improvisation. I'll tell you what to do but I can't give you the exact numbers, due to difference in needle- and yarnsize.
Step 5: The point
At the point we're making three single crochets.
After that just continue making single crochets, until you get to where you started.
In that first loop, make two or three single crochets, just do what you think looks best.
Step 6: You got it?
- increase at the two tops
- decrease at the notch
- increase at the bottom
- single crochet everywhere else
Just keep doing this until you like the result.
I hope you liked this instructable!
Please, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
If you've made it, I would love to see a picture of the result.
Good luck making and have a nice day!

Here I've selected a range of projects that embody my foothold in design. I love the conversion of digital and traditional media and find a playful marriage between the two when I work. I focus heavily on character design and the story-telling aspects of illustration and animation.
Trucker Character Design
Alystria Ambersharde
Character design
Mobile Game UI
UI design // Game design
One of my many roles on the Trot to Trophy team was that of a UI and graphic designer.
Here are a couple minigames that I developed for the game.
Racing! One of the more intense games in Trot to Trophy, the race game has a very bright and vibrant set of buttons.
The players horse changes state as they loose stamina. Over doing it will exhaust your horse and you will fall behind. (click to view large)
Another game I enjoyed working on was the Weight Stack and pull game.
In this game, the player wagers an amount of weight to pull against their rival (The Luchador). The one who pulls the most weight the farthest distance is the winner.
Achievement Icons
UI design // Graphic design
There are 78 Achievements you can earn in Trot to Trophy, and each achievement needed a unique art asset worthy of the player's accomplishments.
Here are all of the icons I created for the game (click to view large):
Trot to Trophy: Mobile Learning Game
Environment design // Character design // Game design // Animation
Trot to Trophy is an educational game created by NC State University's Distance Education department, DELTA. Though originally designed as a learning aid to help students interested in Equine Science, the game is open for all audiences.
I was involved with the project from the very get go and spent a lot of time on the initial research. My role soon evolved into that of lead illustrator and I was responsible for designing the overall look and feel of the game. This included environment and character designs, storyboarding, UI and general asset development, and a little bit of animation as well.
I worked with a fantastic team of designers and developers and there was a lot of love and passion put into this game. To see more, click here!
Deadline: Stealth Unit
Character design // Texturing
Here is a quick overview of my character design process, beginning with silhouette development and ending with the final texture and model. Model work done by Karoon McDowell.
Illustration // Screen printing
A screen printing project to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. This pieces was intended to be viewed both upside-down and right-side-up and was inspired by the Hanged man tarot card.
Illustration // Screen printing // Pattern design
The purpose of this project was to incorporate adinkra symbols into a repeating pattern. The assignment also included experimenting with layering transparent inks. I created a motif based on the symbol "akoben".
Figure drawing
Black Snake Moan
We are all cyborgs!
Illustration // Editorial design
An illustration studio final. The assignment was to create an editorial illustration for Amber Case's TED talk on cyborg anthropology. My idea came from the use of fairy tale imagery as being a well-recognized and iconic cultural meme mixed with technology and internet references.
Trot to Trophy: Rivals
Character design // Ilustration
Concept art for rival characters in our mobile game, Trot to Trophy. The work-horse rival is a master in all draft horse disciplines and I wanted to design a character that was hardy and strong to match. The final design ended up being an ox-like Luchador whose alternate identity was the kind and unassuming Tack shop owner, Mack.
The Race champion, Emily Skyhock, and her companion, Colonel Coronet, are an ode to classic american heroes.
Art on the Move 2013
Date October 2012
This is my winning submission to Art on the Move 2013.
Kinetic Typography
Graphic design // Animation
Kinetic typography
Date: Spring 2011
An exploration of animated type based on the dialogue from Death Proof.
My Life Long Identity Crisis
Illustration // Animation
Date: Spring 2011
As part of a multimedia course, we were assigned a 1 minute animated autobiography. The animation had to include the use of puppet-like rigging and show 5 different scenes or anecdotes to tell the story. My story is about overcoming the pressure to change oneself to fit in and finding out who you really are in the process.
Q-art Project: Andy and Opie
Illustration // Animation
Client: Raleigh Arts Commission
Date: Fall 2012
The Q-art Project is a collaboration between the NCSU College of Design's Multimedia studio and the Raleigh Arts Commission. Our assignment was to create short videos to profile public works of art and my first project was the sculpture of Andy and Opie at Pullen Park. Because of copyright issues, I could use any footage, audio, or photographs of Andy or the Andy Griffith show- so I chose to illustrate all of my video assets. The Q-art Project logo was designed by Jaime Andrews, Lowerthirds by Dwight Davis, and the Intro/Outro sequences by myself.

Recipe by Ellen
"This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. The almond extract gives the cookie a unique flavor that makes them, in my opinion, a little better than the rest. Because I like these cookies so much, I usually make them twice their normal size."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
butter flavored shortening
2/3 cup
brown sugar
1/3 cup
white sugar
1/4 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon
almond extract
1 1/2 cups
rolled oats
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
1 cup
candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
I baked these cookies last night for UFC 79 and everyone loved them.
I did not have butter flavored shortening so I used 1/4 c butter and 1/4 c shortening with no adverse effect to the cookies.
I also split the recipe in half before adding the candy-coated milk chocolate pieces. In half I added raisins and walnuts and in the other half I added the candy-coated milk chocolate pieces and walnuts.
Both cookies were fabulous! The cookie dough tasted great also!
I doubled the recipe as suggested by another reviewer- the dough was way too dry and wouldn't stick together. So I added some peanut butter to get it to stick together. Mmm-mmm. I didn't have almond extract, so I doubled the vanilla. I had to bake them longer, about 15 minutes. They turned out good, not great, but I would make them again.
37 Ratings
These were delicious cookies; however, I would love to know why the dough would not hold together very well. It was VERY crumbly and difficult to drop by spoonfuls. Otherwise, everyone loved them!
This is a very versatile recipe, and a very good one I might add. I found out, after starting the dough, that I didn't have enough candies, nor did I have almond flavoring. I used all vanilla and decided to fill the rest of the cup with the candies with pecans and raisins. I also didn't have any butter-shortening, so I put in a little butter for flavor and regular shortening. Boy, these turned out so yummy!! I will definitely use this recipe again as I know you can add almost any combination of things to the mix and it will come out yummy. Thanks Ellen, the kids, nephews, grandma and myself couldn't wait to pop them in our mouths after they got out of the oven!
We have tried a lot of M&M cookie recipes, yet this one is about the best we've tasted. After the holidays, I was eager to try something that had a healthy ingredient like oatmeal in it (after weeks of a very "sugary" season!) So the next time I made treats, I tried this recipe. Everyone loved it!
These cookies are excellet!!! I decreased the Rolled Oats to 1 1/4 cups and they came out perfect!!!
Thanks so much for a base that I can make my diabetic hubbie a treat. I make my own Splenda Brown Sugar Blend. I mix 2 parts Splenda with 1 part Dark Brown Sugar. My blend actually was clumpy, so I put in the blender & it made a fine powdered sugar like texture. Used 1/3 cup of that blend, 1/3 cup of more Splenda & 1/3 cup of regular brown sugar. Used Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, less oats because mine are Organic Old Fashioned. Found Dark Choco M&M's after Christmas on clearance, used less that the cup. Hubbie was so happy! I learned on the Splenda site to cook at a lower temp, these were perfect at 350 for 9 minutes. Thanks again!
I am not a great cookie maker. This cookie recipe just changed that!! These were the best cookies ever!!!
They kept their shape, did not spread all over the pan and were chewy!!
Thank you for a WONDERFUL recipe. This will be my base recipe for every cookie from now on!

The 8th Annual Children in Crisis Charity Golf Classic raised $30,000 for local children who've been abused, neglected and abandoned, according to organizers.
More than 130 golfers competed for the first-, second- and third-place prizes — including longest drive and closest to the pin awards — March 14 at the Fort Walton Beach Golf Course.
This year's winning team was Mike Sowers, Greg Lile, Brian Young and Scott Corley with a winning score of 56 net. John Williams of Fort Walton Beach, who was randomly selected to try for the Million Dollar Shot, just missed the hole.
Tournament proceeds benefited the Children's Neighborhood, a foster home and facility for Northwest Florida children removed from their families without notice, according to Ken Hair, CIC president and CEO.

In the old days, we used to sprinkle shredded cheese onto a pan, fry it up until most of the grease separated from the cheese solids, and we had cheese crackers. Nowadays, we have Parmesan Crisps from Kitchen Table Bakers. They even got fancy schmancy on us and gave us several different flavors to try including Aged Parmesan, Italian Herb, Garlic, Rosemary, Jalepeno and more. So, given that these are crackers made out of cheese, what will all that cheese flavor do to the accent flavors this product is trying to convey to its customers taste buds? Guess you'll just have to watch and find out.

Applicant claims priority under 35 USC § 120 of and is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09/972,807, filed Oct. 9, 2001 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,762,727, entitled QUICK-ATTACH, SINGLE-SIDED AUTOMOTIVE ANTENNA ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In many situations, it is necessary to attach a device to a panel or other support structure. One example is the attachment of an antenna, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna or cellular antenna to an automobile roof or trunk lid. When such devices are installed on an assembly line, it is important that the device can be accurately and quickly secured to the panel. It is also important that the device be self-contained, so as to eliminate the need for multiple parts or two-handed (or multiple person) operation to install the device. Further, it is important that the installation be as simple as possible with few operational steps. In some applications, there is an additional requirement that the device be properly oriented relative to the panel.
There are numerous known apparatus and processes to attach a device to a panel. In most of those known procedures, the use of both hands, or multiple people, is required for the installation because the device is positioned on one side of the panel and the fastening means is operated from the opposite side of the panel. In addition, most installations of known devices require multiple steps, or the apparatus involves the use of many, often small parts, such as nuts, washers, bolts, screws, or the like. These deficiencies result in a time consuming and awkward installation.
The present invention provides an attachment assembly that provides quick attachment of an object, such as an automotive antenna unit, to a panel or other support surface, such as an exterior panel of a vehicle. A single worker is able to install the antenna unit or other object with one downward push from the exterior through an opening in the vehicle panel without the need for tools. The attachment assembly also includes an anti-rotation feature to prevent rotation once installed. The attachment assembly can only be removed from the interior, rendering the attachment assembly tamper resistant from the exterior. The attachment assembly can also be mounted on vehicles with various panel thicknesses.
More particularly, the attachment assembly includes a base assembly fixed to an object to be mounted to a panel. The base assembly includes a shaft member that extends through an opening in the panel. An expandable member on the shaft member includes a plurality of resilient members that abut against an interior surface of the panel. The resilient members are compressible to pass through the opening in the panel during installation. A retaining member retains the expandable member on the shaft member with the resilient members in abutment with the interior surface of the panel after installation. A spacer member also disposed on the shaft member biases the expandable member against the retaining member with a gap between the expandable member and the lower surface of the object. The gap is sized to receive the panel of the vehicle after the installation procedure. In this way, panels of various thicknesses can be accommodated by an appropriately sized spacer member. If necessary, a final adjustment can be made to the retaining member after installation. A keying feature is provided between the expandable member and the base assembly to prevent rotation of the attachment assembly.
In a further embodiment, the invention provides an attachment assembly comprising a base member having a mounting stud, a retaining cap disposed on the mounting stud, the retaining cap comprising a plurality of retaining fingers, wherein the retaining fingers cooperate with the stud such that, upon axial movement of the retaining cap toward the base member, the retaining fingers radially outwardly expand and apply clamping pressure against the panel.
In a preferred embodiment, a snap collar is disposed on the mounting stud near the base member, the snap collar having at least one resilient leg aligned along a longitudinal axis of the stud. The leg contacts the interior of the panel to prevent movement of the base away from the panel.
In yet another aspect, the invention provides a process of mounting an object to a panel comprising the steps of attaching an object to an attachment assembly according to the invention and installing the attachment assembly to a panel.
These and other aspects of the invention will become apparent on a further consideration of the specification, drawings and the appended claims.
The invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
An antenna attachment assembly 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is illustrated more fully in
In the illustrated embodiments, the antenna unit 12 is illustrated as a radome cover 22 for a GPS or satellite antenna. It will be appreciated that the attachment assembly of the present invention may be used with any type of antenna and associated cover or base unit, such as an AM/FM antenna, or with any other device or object that is intended to be affixed to a panel.
In the illustrated embodiment, the unit 12 has a lower surface 24 that is supported on the exterior surface 26 of the vehicle panel 16 over the opening 14 in the panel. A cable 28 from the unit 12 extends through the lower surface 24 of the unit and through the opening 14 in the panel 16 for connection to other components within the vehicle, as known in the art. A perimeter gasket 30 with an opening 32 therein fits between the lower surface 24 of the unit 12 and the exterior surface 26 of the panel 16. The gasket 30 seals the opening 14 against leaks and compensates for thickness and contour fluctuations in the panel 16. Keying features 34 extend from the unit 12 and the gasket 30 into a smaller opening 36 in the panel 16, as known in the art.
In a first embodiment, the attachment assembly 10 includes a base assembly 40 that is fixed to and extends from the lower surface 24 of the antenna unit 12. The base assembly 40 includes a base plate 42 having a plurality of radially extending tabs 44 located about the circumference of the base plate. The tabs fit within the opening 14 in the panel 16. Three tabs 44 are suitable, although any desired number may be used. The base assembly 40 may be integral with or fixed to the unit 12 in any suitable manner, such as with screws or adhesive. The base assembly 40 also includes an externally threaded hollow shaft 46 extending downwardly from the base plate 42. The shaft includes one or more key slots 48 along its length, discussed further below. The cable 28 from the unit 12 passes through the hollow interior 50 of the shaft 46.
When installed on a vehicle, the base assembly 40 extends through the opening 14 in the panel 16. The expandable member 18, such as a snap ring, fits over the externally threaded shaft 46. A retaining member 54, such as an internally threaded jam nut, retains the expandable member 18 on the base assembly and biases the expandable member against the interior surface 20 of the panel 16. The nut preferably includes a self-locking fastener element 58, such as a polyester or nylon element, applied to the threads at an interior location to prevent slippage, as known in the art. The fastener element should not impede engagement of the nut onto the threads of the shaft.
In the embodiment shown, the snap ring comprises an annular washer portion 60 and a plurality of upstanding, resilient members such as fingers 62 that, in the installed position, expand radially outwardly and at their tips 64 press against the interior surface 20 of the panel 16. The snap ring is preferably stamped and formed from a sheet material having a thickness, hardness, and other properties selected to provide an appropriate amount of resiliency to the fingers, as may be readily determined by those of skill in the art. A metal material, such as a 30 gage stainless steel, is suitable, although an appropriate plastic or composite material may be used if desired. Preferably, a stability washer 66 is provided above and an anti-torsion washer 68 is provided below the annular washer portion 60 to stiffen and support the washer portion and protect the washer portion from distortion. Generally, the washers are stamped from a thicker sheet material than the snap ring, such as a 20 gage stainless steel. Both washers and the snap ring include one or more inwardly facing tabs or keys 70 that align with and fit within the key slots 48 on the threaded shaft 46. When fitted within the key slots, the keys prevent the expandable member 18 from rotating with respect to the unit 12.
The attachment assembly also includes a spacer member 72 such as a compression spring that allows for multiple preset distances to accommodate various panel thicknesses. The compression spring exerts a downward bias on the snap ring against the upward force exerted by the jam nut. The height of the compression spring is set by tightening the jam nut so as to achieve the desired distance or gap (d) between the top of the snap ring fingers and the base plate. Upon installation, the vehicle panel fits within this gap. If necessary, the size of the compression spring may be selected to achieve the desired gap size, depending on the thickness of the panel.
Assembly requires a downward push of the antenna unit 12 and the attachment assembly 10 through the opening 14 in the panel 16. As the attachment assembly is inserted through the opening in the panel, the resilient fingers 62 of the snap ring compress radially inwardly. The tips 64 of the fingers extend within arcuate regions 74 between the tabs 44 of the base plate 42. Once the snap ring passes fully through the opening 14, the fingers spread radially outwardly. The tips of the fingers, which are preferably bent inwardly, abut against the interior surface 20 of the panel 16, thereby locking the attachment assembly place. If necessary, any final adjustments can be made by rotating the jam nut.
In a further embodiment, illustrated in
A further embodiment of an attachment assembly is shown in
In the embodiment shown, the plate 128 is provided with a plurality of openings 129. These openings facilitate attachment of the plate 128 to the object being mounted, such as the antenna lens 112 illustrated. The number, size and location of such openings are determined based on the particular application. In some applications, such as in certain automobile antennas, it is necessary or desirable to properly orient the device relative to the panel. In such circumstances, a keying feature such as an orientation stud 117 may be provided on the base assembly that projects through a suitable aperture 102 in a panel 100.
A gasket 118, shown in FIGS. 9 and 14A–14D, is disposed against the bottom surface of the base plate 128. The gasket 118 seals the base assembly 114 to the panel 100. The gasket 118 may not be required or desirable in all applications. It is particularly desired to employ a gasket in automotive applications or other applications where the exterior of the panel is exposed to the out of doors. Any suitably shaped gasket 18 of suitable material may be employed to advantage. When the attachment assembly of the invention is affixed to a panel, the gasket 118, if used, is compressed between the panel and the base plate 128. Accordingly, the materials and design of the gasket 118 are selected to permit such compression to occur.
With particular attention to
The mounting stud 116 is also provided with at least one boss member 138 outwardly projecting from the stud 116. In a preferred embodiment, as shown in
The snap collar 120 is shown in
The split ring section 146 of the snap collar 120 is also provided with outwardly oriented spacing lugs 156 that facilitate centering the stud 116, and thus plate 128, in the panel aperture. The dimension A across the snap collar 120 at the spacing lugs 156 is determined to closely correspond to the diameter of the aperture in the panel through which the stud 116 is to be disposed. The interior diameter B, as well as depth C, of the split ring section 146 is determined by the size of the recess 136 in the stud 116. The distance D across the snap collar 120 between cantilever sections 152 is selected to be slightly larger than the distance E across the stud 116 at opposing bosses 138 a, 138 c (see
The split ring section 146 of the snap collar 120 may be provided with a notched section 158 of reduced depth aligned with the notch 140 of stud 116. The notched section 158 is particularly desired when the device being mounted requires electrical wires or other connections to pass through the panel and provides clearance for such wires or connections.
The retaining cap 122 is shown in
As best seen in
Reference is now made to
The entire assembly is then attached to the panel 100 by inserting the stud 116 through the panel aperture 101. If present, the orientation stud 117 will be disposed through panel aperture 102. Continued movement toward the panel 100 will cause the resilient legs 152 of the snap collar 120 (not shown) to retract and then expand to their neutral position once they have cleared the interior surface of the panel. The snap collar functions as a temporary holding mechanism while the assembly is being installed. When in the neutral position, the legs 152 contact the interior surface of the panel 100 and prevent the base assembly 114 and the device mounted thereon from moving away from the panel 100. The retaining legs 152 do not exert any appreciable clamping force against the panel.
From the interior of the panel 100, torque is then applied to the nut 124. The nut 124 then travels toward the panel 100 along the threaded stud 126, which in turn forces the retaining cap 122 to move axially toward the base 114 and the panel 100. As the retaining cap 122 moves toward the base assembly 114 and the panel 100, the lower portion 168 of the fingers 164 will radially outwardly expand as the beveled shoulder 172 contacts first the beveled tip 134 of the stud 116, and then the tapered body 130 of stud 116. The boss members 138 a–138 c prevent the retaining cap 122 from rotating relative to the stud 116 as torque is applied to the nut 124.
The radial expansion and axial movement of fingers 164 of the retaining cap 122 toward panel 100 result in the lower portion 168 of the fingers 164 contacting the inner surface of the panel 100. The snap collar 120 also functions to space the retaining cap 122 a sufficient distance from the panel 100 such that the fingers 164 of the retaining cap cannot enter into the aperture 101. This process continues until a pre-determined amount of torque has been applied and the panel 100 is firmly clamped between the retaining cap 122 and the base member 114. In a preferred embodiment, the boss members 138 a through 138 c of the stud 116 cooperate with the slots 165 of retaining cap 122 to stop the movement of the retaining cap 122 toward panel 100, and thus prevent the application of too much torque, which might damage either the panel 100, the device, or both.
The internal electronics of the antenna units shown herein are not critical to the invention, and thus they are not described in any detail. It is, however, a feature of the invention that the base assembly may be configured to accept such electronics or other desired components based on the intended use of the quick-attachment mounting mechanism. For example, referring to
It will be appreciated that other variations of the above embodiments are possible. For example, the expandable member and the retaining member may be formed as an integral member. The invention is not to be limited by what has been particularly shown and described, except as indicated by the appended claims.

Loving your inner critic (Day 15)
We all have an inner critic that tells us we're not good enough. Sometimes it tells us far worse things than that — that we're worthless, that no one likes us, that we're essentially unlovable. In cultivating metta we're supposed to love ourselves, but the inner critic is a part of us; how do we love that? And how to we stop listening to the inner critic long enough to experience any love for ourselves?
Actually all practice helps deal with our inner critic. Any mindfulness practice helps because as soon as you're mindful of the brain's "self-hatred module" you're no longer being self-hatred. Self hatred is at its … Read more »

F&C Investments has introduced a £25 plus VAT annual charge on its Child Trust Fund, which will come into effect from 6 April.
Previously, F&C had no initial or annual management charges for its shares Child Trust Fund plan.
In a letter to clients, F&C said the charge has been put in place to cover administration costs.
"Introducing a charge is not a decision we have taken lightly. The introduction of a flat fee aims to cover the costs we incur to administer these plans," said F&C.
"The larger the value of your investment the smaller the impact of a fixed rate charge."

Next Up For Nationalization: The Internet
Professor Lawrence Lessig is quoted in a National Review article on net neutrality:
Following the nationalization of investment banks, Fannie and Freddie, consumer banks, and private insurance companies, taxpayers are likely asking: What's left for the federal government to nationalize?
How about the Internet?
Network neutrality, or net neutrality, is the beneficent-sounding name for sweeping new government regulatory power that would prohibit Internet service providers from innovating in their own networks. This could lead to much less broadband investment by private companies, and could potentially force government subsidization, control, and outright nationalization of the Internet. The implications of this are chilling.
... Larry Lessig of Stanford, a leading proponent of net neutrality, says openly that it will lead to less private investment in the Internet and therefore will require the government to step in with the investment of tax dollars. Lessig's rationale is that "Broadband is infrastructure — like highways, if not railroads."

Washington State Senator Paull Shin has confirmed he is working with Snohomish County Councilman Brian Sullivan to draft a bill aimed at keeping Boeing from moving business out of state.
Jim Freeburg, Senator Shin's legislative assistant, tells ATI: "Senator Shin is definitely in favor [of the bill]. He has been working closely with Brian Sullivan, although it is still in the drafting stage."
Shin and Sullivan are proposing that the state of Washington be designated a 'port district' since there is an exemption in the state's law that allows port districts to offer favourable rents to businesses.
"I'm proposing a state-wide port district or a county-wide port district to at least allow us to compete on the local level as South Carolina," Sullivan explained last week.
Freeburg says that while the bill is "still in tentative stages", Shin hopes to table it in mid-January after the Washington Legislature reconvenes. It is not yet clear if the bill will seek "state-wide or county-wide" port district designation, he adds.
The legislative effort comes as Boeing considers establishing a 787 assembly line outside its historic Everett, Washington home, in Charleston, South Carolina.
It also comes as some Washington legislators grow increasingly concerned that Boeing will build its 737 successor aircraft outside of Washington. The airframer's current generation 737 series is built in Renton, Washington.

Hall of Fame Boxer Jimmy Bivens Passed Away at Age 92
Hall of Fame boxer Jimmy Bivins, who defeated some of the best heavyweight boxers of the 1940s and 1950s, passed away at the age of 92. Bivins died from complications from pneumonia early on Wednesday at an East Cleveland nursing home.
Bivins, who was born in Georgia in 1919, retired from boxing in 1955 after more than 100 professional fights. He did not get the chance to compete for a world title, but was once ranked as the No. 1 contender in both the lightweight and heavyweight divisions.
Bivins met seven Hall of Fame boxers, beating four of them. He also met 11 world champions and defeated eight of them. Bivins was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1999 with 86 wins, 25 losses and one draw during his career. He also had 31 knockouts.
In 1998, Bivins was found in the attic of his daughter's Cleveland home. He was covered in bedsores and weighed just 110lbs., which was 70lbs below his fighting weight. His son-in-law pleaded guilty to criminal neglect. He recovered and lived with a sister before moving to the nursing home in 2009.
Bivins is survived by a daughter, five grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

Playing With Scale
Something that gets talked about a lot by House & Home design editors is scale. This is mainly because we are often producing some kind of story that requires bringing in a lot of furnishings from disparate sources in order to create a "room" — without having time for it to evolve slowly, the way decorating a real room would. So we are working from instinct, asking questions such as: "Is this lamp going to be too tall?", "Is this side table going to be too short?", or, "Is this chair going to be too big?"
Still, some of the images I like best in either our own mag or others, are those that involve messing with scale.
This shot is one of my favourites and has been sitting on my desktop for ages. With the framed artwork being twice the size of the chest of drawers it hangs above, I am sure this is breaking every old-school rule about scale, yet it works.
For playing-with-scale novices, there are a couple of tips to been gleaned from this photo. The artwork is graphic, sure, but still subtle and simple in both its colours and content. Big and quiet works in a way that big and loud would not. Also, take a look at how it's hung. A wall space border of about 8" (I'm guessing from sight) surrounds the artwork on top and both sides — using the beam on the left as an indicator of where that area ends. So, they are keeping it even. And despite it hanging over both sides of the chest in terms of width, they are keeping the overhang even, too. Lastly, the art is the only big thing in the room. It's not an Alice in Wonderland room full of very big pieces, therefore it's more of a statement piece.
And we in the design business love statements.
For more tips on hanging art, see our Art Advice Guide.
