Glenn Beck and the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
Glenn Beck has, this past weekend, been portraying himself in almost messianic terms as an instrument of God prepared to lead America out of its spiritual darkness. By his own words and the timing of his rally in Washington D.C. he seems to be trying to hijack the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and take it in a very novel direction indeed. Beck claims he just wants to take the movement back. As if the Civil Rights Movement began as one of white, affluent, Republicans.
Instead of Beck's fear mongering, listen instead to this historic speech, delivered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. 47 years ago, in which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. eloquently called forth the better angels of our nature:

Easy to make with bright, fresh flavors. I used frozed corn and powdered ginger since that's what was on hand.flag if inappropriate
Excellent! I served it on top of a green salad. Since it's winter I used frozen corn and edamame, and just let it thaw...no need to cook.flag if inappropriate
Nice fresh side dish. I love edamame so increased the portion of edamame to equal that of the corn. I used 1/2 the grated ginger for a double recipe and there was still enough ginger flavor for my guests. Also added green pepper the 2nd time through. Sauteed the red onion slightly the 2nd time I made the recipe to take away a bit of the bite. Very good.flag if inappropriate
very much enjoyed this. I used the suggestion of extra lemon juice and no mayo. yum.flag if inappropriate
Delicious. Made it the first time as written and was good. Second time around, nixed the mayo, added a splash of olive oil instead and extra lemon juice. Freshy, healthy, a GREAT mid-day snack that screams "make ahead."flag if inappropriate
Everyone in my family loved this salad. I have made it several times and they all want seconds, even my picky teenager.flag if inappropriate
Yum! My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I was making it, but didn't hesitate one bit to eat it. He cleaned his plate...and the bowl. Did I mention he is the picky-est eater on the planet?? Very good salad, and low calorie!flag if inappropriate
This was a wonderful, colorful summer salad! A great way to use seasonal corn and it had a nice blend of flavors - I wouldn't change anything!flag if inappropriate
This is a quick and very tasty dish. I was a bit uneasy about the mayo, but all the ingredients came together quite well; it was a sophisticated take on succotash.flag if inappropriate
With the Miso Chicken, this was very yummy. Easy to make also. Hard to mess up!flag if inappropriate

Top 5?
Top 5?
Big IF. We would definitely be in the headlines.
Nice to dream, but the best we can realistically hope for is to be 2-2 after 4 games. Now if Maynard has morphed into the second coming of Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers over the off-season, maybe we have a fighting chance against Ohio State, but I still don't see us beating USC.
Slightly more realistic question, what would we be ranked after a hard fought loss at USC with a 3-1 record? I'm think 21ish.
"More..more.....great stuff Masau80....yeah, I'm with ya.....
Cal will beat ...Ohio State in Columbus in front of over 100,000 buck
eye fans...yes, yes....sure....then beat u$c...yes of course! AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!"
But we historically suck after we start 5-0.
The AP will want to have the best promotion possible in televising Cal vs. $C and ranking help promote games. So Cal will be ranked going into the $C game if both are undefeated. Cal might be ranked at 2-1 if their only loss is to Nevada because, regardless of OSU's record, they have always been very hard to beat in Columbus, especially for a team travelling from 3 time zones away. And so the media will see it as a significant win for Cal.
I think it is a little harsh to presume anything negative about Cal's 2012 team just because they end up losing that game.
These what if posts are ridiculously stupid. What's the point of them? What if we started 3-1? Or 2-2? Or 1-3? Or 0-4? How many threads will negabears takeover in their drumbeat for Tedford's job?
news from closed spring practices.
Cal needs to show up on the field on game day and to do that, coaches need to coach. That's how I feel about it......

Have had hep c 28yrs.Blood tests show I'm not storing iron. Can I take iron supps.Where is my iron going?Had hysterectomy at 24 am now 51.My doctor wants to give me iron shots! Thanks if you can help. JJ. B.C Canada
Response from Dr. Dieterich
Hepatitis C does not cause anemia usually. However the treatment for it with ribavirin does. That can easily be treated with Procrit. If you are not taking treatment then your MD needs to make sure you are not losing iron from your stomach or colon before supplementing your iron levels. That is usually done with colonoscopy and endoscopy. You should have a colonoscopy anyway since you are over 50. Good luck! DTD

The Time has finally arrived!! MRNES drops his latest single "LAST SONG" feat. Erik Right, from his upcoming album titled "THE BONEFACE". He describes the way he felt about a lost love using music as a metaphor. If you have ever been in a relationship that the person is everything you've always wanted but the feeling was gone and you didn't feel the same any more. Then you can relate to MRNES. You will fall in love with his latest single, "LAST SONG".
Not too long ago, if you were known as a "rapper" you were automatically stereotyped and categorized as one type of genre. It was assumed that you as a "rapper" talked, walked, dressed and acted a certain way. You were either accepted by your peers or exit out. Now, a new wave has taken over. What was not accepted in the past is now acknowledged. There are no longer limits. Borders have been crossed and music lovers have embraced the "rappers" of today.
MRNES is a part of this new waive. He's creating his own music lane with his unique style, choice of lyrics and flow. Good music is undeniable. MRNES has redefined the term "rapper" and has taken this method of music and has transformed it into his own. He brings a new flavor to the music world. He's sound can be described as Wiz Khalifa meets Fabulous with a twist of B.O.B. MRNES's mission is to capture the soul that lives in music and create tunes that many can relate to and enjoy listening too for years to come. MRNES is currently in the studio finishing his upcoming album titled "THE BONEFACE". It's expected to drop in the near future.

One Shine at a Time, Shoeshiner Albert Lexie Donates Tips and Raises $100,000 for Free Care Fund at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, Pa. - February 28, 2006 -
Shoeshiner Albert Lexie has achieved a remarkable milestone, raising more than $100,000 for the Free Care Fund at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh by donating tips from his business over the last two dozen years.
Children's held a ceremony Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2006, to recognize Lexie's commitment to the patients of Children's. Physicians, nurses and other staff from the hospital, as well as friends from throughout western Pennsylvania, were on hand for the celebration.
Following comments by Roger A. Oxendale, president and CEO of Children's, and Steven G. Docimo, MD, chief of Pediatric Urology - both regular customers of Lexie's - the shoeshiner was given a plaque commemorating his achievement. A second plaque will be placed in the hospital.
"It is inspiring to see what Albert has achieved through his hard work, generosity and dedication to the patients and families of Children's," Oxendale said. "Even after nearly a quarter of a century, Albert remains motivated by one thing: to help families in a time of need. We're humbled by his achievements and proud to honor this milestone he has reached."
Lexie, a 63-year-old Monessen, Pa., resident, has been shining shoes at Children's since 1982 and accepting tips from customers on behalf of "his kids," as Lexie refers to the patients at Children's. Charging $3 per shine, Lexie donates all tips to Children's Free Care Fund, which ensures that all children receive medical care, regardless of a family's ability to pay.
At age 15, Lexie built a shoeshine box in high school shop class. He now uses that same box to shine shoes at Children's every Tuesday and Thursday. On those days he makes the trip by bus from his hometown to Oakland, leaving home at 5:50 a.m. and arriving at the hospital at 7:25 a.m. In addition to shining shoes at Children's, Lexie travels to Salomon Smith Barney in Pittsburgh and the business districts of Charleroi, Donora, Monessen and Monongahela to offer his services. His yearly income is only about $10,000, and he donates roughly $10,000 a year to the Free Care Fund.
Lexie was recognized in 2001, receiving an Association of Fundraising Professionals Outstanding Philanthropist Award from the organization's Western Pennsylvania Chapter. In 1997, he received a Jefferson Medal for Outstanding Citizen. He also has been recognized by several Rotary organizations in the Monongahela Valley.

Never buy WDFlipkart is always the best when it comes to customer viewpoint. But WD, never. This passport crashed in the 7th month and the service center never responds. They never pick the call. The courier person never came to pick the parcel.

Good ProductI got my order in 3 days. The speed that I am getting while copying is around 18 mbps and I have not used 3.0. I am satisfied with this external Hard Drive. Let's see how reliable it comes out to be..After some research on internet I got convinced to buy WD instead of seagate. The look and size of this drive is comparatively smaller than seagate. It actually comes in your Shirt Pocket.

A year with this HDD.I bought this one on June 2012. WD is one of the known brands for external HDD. What intrigued me was the USB 3.0 port and that is why I bought this( that and the brand name of course.) Physically, it was very fast but I always had the feeling that the port didn't "fit in properly" in the USB 2.0 ports in my laptop and the connecting wire is really short and inflexible which doesn't help everyone.

Device: Not Trustworthy, Service & Support: Very PoorI have bought this HDD on Sep 26th,2011 and it cost me Rs. 2644.

Superb Hard diskI ordered this product 2 months ago. Even though i am from a small town, i got my order in just 3 days. Superb packing and shipping from Flipkart. The hard disk is really working fine. The data transfer is faster with USB 3.0. The body is very shinning and can easily get scratches. The cable connecting the hard disk and usb port is small. So you need to keep it very closer to the usb port. Overall a good hard disk to have as spare.

Outstanding Product.....Although i got this product earlier but forgot to write my experiences,placed an order for this product on 14th sept but got delivered bit late on 19th sept.Packaging was excellent i.e the 3 layered packing,light weight & compact in manner.Feels good to have in your hand just like carrying a pocket dictionary.Amazed by the price rate almost less than 2.7k which is 600-700 bugs less then the market price,though now they have hiked the price.But hats off to flipkart,looking forward to order some more stuffs in near future.

Mayor of polygamous town may have married 15-year-old
Did the sitting mayor of a polygamous town on the Utah-Arizona border marry a teenage girl?
That's the unsettling allegation about Colorado City Mayor Joseph Allred revealed in a batch of court documents filed earlier this year. The documents are part of a Department of Justice case against Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah neighboring towns dominated by The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The case alleges many of the same things that came up in the recently wrapped Cooke family lawsuit, namely that the towns discriminate against outsiders and are controlled by the FLDS Church.
The DOJ case was on hold while the Cooke case moved through the court. However, recent court filings portray past and present town officials as misbehaving obstructionists who actively sought to withhold information, including Allred's alleged underage marriage.
Marrying a 15-year-old • The most serious allegation in the documents is that Allred wed a 15-year-old girl. The topic came up during a deposition with Chief Marshal Helaman Barlow; federal attorneys asked Barlow if he knew about and investigated the marriage, but Barlow refused to answer.
Details about the union are scarce and The Salt Lake Tribune does not identify alleged victims of sex crimes but the documents indicate that federal attorneys have access to FLDS marriage records. Attorneys also have access to driver licences for Allred and the girl, and asked Barlow if he ever saw them at an FLDS meetinghouse. The question seemed to indicate that at least someone has publicly seen Allred with the girl.
The girl's date of birth has been redacted from the documents and her current age is not mentioned. However, federal attorneys later said she had a child when she was 17 years old and asked Barlow if he was "concerned at all when a 17-year-old girl gives birth in your town?"
"No," Barlow replied, according to the documents.
Allred is the current mayor of Colorado City, but last month during the Cooke trial refused to answer any questions when he was called as a witness. Attorneys asked him about his religion and its role in the towns, among an array of other topics. After each question, he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights.
Allred's attorney did not return calls seeking comment.
The federal attorneys on the case and a lawyer representing Colorado City declined to comment.
A foot chase with a former cop •Other documents in the case recount an episode in which Colorado City's former police chief ran away literally from a court agent and hid in a Wal-Mart.
The incident happened last year on Christmas Eve when Sam Brower, a private investigator, was trying to serve a subpoena to Fred Barlow, the former town marshal of Colorado City. Barlow lost his police certification in 2007 for writing letters to FLDS leader and then-fugitive Warren Jeffs.
Barlow began running away from Brower at a Home Depot in Washington, Utah. Brower had a tip that Barlow was at the store, but when the two men saw each other, the former cop "abandoned his purchases and ran from the building," court documents state.
Brower then learned that Barlow had fled to a nearby Wal-Mart. Brower searched the store, but after failing to find Barlow, he contacted security and began looking at the surveillance footage.
Court documents describe several surveillance clips that show Barlow sneaking around the Wal-Mart, "actively evading service of a subpoena." In one clip, he can be seen "moving furtively through the store, pausing at the exit, and then running" away from Brower. Other clips show Barlow peering around store aisles and running in and out of different store entrances. Overall, Barlow "went to great lengths to evade personal service," the documents add.
Barlow eventually succeeded in evading Brower; the court documents were filed because federal attorneys want permission to simply mail him the subpoena. Those attorneys also believe Barlow's testimony will be integral for their case.
Other allegations •The allegations mentioned in the documents are not limited to Allred's marriage and Fred Barlow's fleeing. Others include the following:
• Alleged letters that Allred wrote to Jeffs while the FLDS president was on the run from police;
• Colorado City Vice Mayor Kimball Barlow's refusal to discuss FLDS properties that received water during an alleged water shortage;
• Training provided by the town marshals to the FLDS security forces, which Kimball Barlow refused to talk about;
• The possibility that government officials were ordered to "repent from afar," which Allred refused to discuss.
Ultimately, a judge granted federal attorneys' request to require Allred, Helaman Barlow and Kimball Barlow to answer questions about the various allegations.

Google headquarters, Central Saint Giles, Covent Garden, London, Britain – 06 Aug 2012…Must credit PENSON/Rex Features
Mandatory Credit: Photo by PENSON / Rex Features (1811356y)
A Peek Inside Google's London Headquarters
It features a secret garden, 'Granny flat' interiors and an allotment – welcome to Google's new London headquarters.
The 160,000 sq ft hub features cutting-edge design that offers a quirky take on the traditional office.
Occupying half of the ultra-modern Central Saint Giles development in Covent Garden over five floors, renowned interior designers PENSON were given the task of creating a vibrant workspace.
The result is amazing variation of work and lounging space which finds room for 1,250 non-traditional desks.
A space called Granny's Flat is furnished with chintzy chairs and fittings that wouldn't look out of place in an elderly relative's lounge, while the Lala Library hosts a giant semi-circle white sofa adorned with pillows and surrounded by arty and inspirational books.
Surreal workspaces have tongue-in-cheek names such as the Velourmptious snug, a green, padded homage to the traditional British pub, and Snug-lushness, a garish flower-print padded bench seat.
An area dubbed the Town Hall allows seating for 200 people and features velvet curtains, exposed ceilings and a video wall, while the Market Square is a rustic cafeteria area.
For active staff members there is a gym and dance studio, a 'bikedry' for cycling gear storage and a shower block for those sweaty from the morning workout, cycle or commute.
For those really wanting to escape the office, a 'Hedge Your Bets' secret garden on the roof terrace affords stunning views of London surrounded by grass and foliage – all with wi-fi connection for laptop work.
Eco considerations are at the forefront of design with a high content of reclaimed or recycled materials employed and the use of water-based products and timber floor boards with Eco plywood perimeter

MOORE, Okla. - The death toll from this week's monster tornado in Oklahoma stands at 24, with all victims positively identified.
The Oklahoma medical examiner's office says 10 of those who died were children, including two infants. The eight other children range in age from 4 years old to 9 years old.
While mourning their dead, many residents remain stunned that the twister didn't claim more lives during its 17 miles and 40 minutes on the ground.
As for property damage, officials say the tornado may end up costing more than $2 billion. The twister tore through as many as 13,000 homes, multiple schools and a hospital.
President Barack Obama plans to view the destruction firsthand on Sunday. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, meanwhile, visited Wednesday and again pledged the federal government's ongoing support. She urged people to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to learn about aid for which they may qualify.

Radiative Processes in Astrophysics

moreRadiative Processes in Astrophysics: This clear, straightforward, and fundamental introduction is designed to present-from a physicist's point of view-radiation processes and their applications to astrophysical phenomena and space science. It covers such topics as radiative transfer theory, relativistic covariance and kinematics, bremsstrahlung radiation, synchrotron radiation, Compton scattering, some plasma effects, and radiative transitions in atoms. Discussion begins with first principles, physically motivating and deriving all results rather than merely presenting finished formulae. However, a reasonably good physics background (introductory quantum mechanics, intermediate electromagnetic theory, special relativity, and some statistical mechanics) is required. Much of this prerequisite material is provided by brief reviews, making the book a self-contained reference for workers in the field as well as the ideal text for senior or first-year graduate students of astronomy, astrophysics, and related physics courses. Radiative Processes in Astrophysics also contains about 75 problems, with solutions, illustrating applications of the material and methods for calculating results. This important and integral section emphasizes physical intuition by presenting important results that are used throughout the main text; it is here that most of the practical astrophysical applications become apparent. less

Video: impatient dog blasts car horn
Boxer dog Fern was left in the car while her owners visited a gallery in the town of Broughty Ferry, Dundee.
Fed up with being left behind, after five minutes she hopped into the driver's seat and began pressing the horn.
The racket drew the attention of amused passers-by, who began taking pictures and filming the dog.
Now, thanks to social media, Fern is a hit, with the video being viewed by thousands of people.
The car's owner, Graham Haddow, initially feared the worst when he returned to his car to find it surrounded by a crowd of people.
Speaking to The Express, he said: "Usually when Fern sees me she stands up and gets excited with her tail wagging but this time she just gave me a sideways glance and kept on honking the horn.
"A young lad on a scooter told me he had been there from the beginning and it had been going on for 15 minutes, we had only been away for 20 minutes.
"Usually when we come back she is sitting on one of the seats but she has never done this before."

Twenty-Ninth Amendment of the Constitution (Judges' Remuneration) Bill 2011: Amendment from the Seanad
Thursday, 22 September 2011
Dáil Éireann Debate
Chuaigh an Dáil i gCoiste chun leasuithe ón Seanad a mheas.
The Dáil went into Committee to consider an amendment from the Seanad.
Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brendan Howlin): The amendment approved by Seanad Éireann relates to the draft wording of Article 35.3. This is a technical amendment which removes a superfluous expression, namely, "into law", from the first line of the section in order that it now reads "the enactment of this section". The change preserves the norms generally adhered to in the text of the Constitution.
The shorter phrase is considered more appropriate to describe the coming into operation of the proposed amendment if the referendum is approved by the people. It takes account of the procedures for the making of amendments to the Constitution by way of the enactment of a Bill. If one likes, this is the legislative phase of a constitutional enactment provided for in Article 46. The procedures relating to the submission of a proposal to amend the Constitution by decision of the people in a subsequent referendum are provided for in Article 47.
The Attorney General has advised the Minister for Justice and Equality that the phrase "into law" is tautological and, therefore, not necessary. This deletion was approved yesterday by the Seanad.
Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ní chuirfidh mé i gcoinne an mholta atá os ár gcomhair ach an fhadhb atá agam ná cosúil le gach rud a dhéantar a scríobh nó a phlé sa Teach seo faoi dheifir, nuair atá an reachtaíocht déanta, bíonn dabht i gcónaí ann nach bhfuil sí foirfe. Leasú simplíé seo nach bhfuil conspóideach ach tá an fhadhb sin againn.
The amendment is not contentious and I am not arguing against it. However, I make the point that this is another example of rushed legislation and that this problem should have been picked up previously. Given the time available to produce this change, that is a pity and calls into question whether there are other problems with the wording. We did not have enough time to prepare fully because of the rushed nature of the legislation. I hope there are no problems because this will be useful legislation and the change should allow us to ensure what is intended will happen.
[217]There is probably much in the Constitution that is superfluous. Perhaps when the constitutional forum is held, we might examine the Constitution and write it in plain English and Irish in order that it will not be seen as complicated, archaic, negative or convoluted, which would make no sense to many.
I will not press the point but express this concern. I hope there are no other problems with the existing wording, given that this is the last Stage of the Bill which will soon be put to the people who I hope will accept it.
Deputy Brendan Howlin: I thank the Deputy for his contribution. He is of the view that this legislation has been somewhat rushed, but it has been carefully considered for a very long period. This is a simple enough amendment to make. The deletion of the phrase is not viewed by the law officers as being damaging to the amendment; it is a better phrasing.
When I was crafting the legislation to establish my Department, there was a requirement to look at legislation from the 1920s. Stylistically, the drafting of legislation has changed remarkably; we would not say things in the same way today if we were redrafting some of the legal enactments from the 1920s and 1930s. However, the best advice is that this is a technical amendment which improves the text because it makes it tighter and removes a superfluous phrase. I thank the Deputy for his support.
An Ceann Comhairle: Agreement to the Seanad amendment is reported to the House and a message will be sent to Seanad Éireann acquainting it accordingly.

In Lieu of an Obituary for Yasir Arafat
by Daniel Pipes
(1) President Bush made an appropriately reserved statement on the Palestinian's passing this evening:
It is important that the U.S. government now not send anyone to the Arafat funeral.
(2) To understand Arafat's legacy, there is no better to place to start than the listings of Palestinian terrorist attacks in Israel since 1965 – or well before the Israelis took control of the West Bank and Gaza. Here is a listing of the some of the more prominent atrocities during Arafat's first decade of terrorism, first as the head of Fatah and then the PLO:
(3) Arafat's hideous but successful life – who else has ridden the murder of children and holiday celebrants to a Nobel Peace Prize and a personal fortune – is worthy of a full-length documentary. For the moment, HonestReporting.com's one-minute version, "Arafat's Dark Legacy," is a good start. (November 10, 2004)
Nov. 15, 2004 update: Arafat's lived a lie and died a lie. Agence France Press reports today that the death certificate issued for him by municipal officials at Clamart, the suburb of Paris where he died on Nov. 11, records his place of birth as Jerusalem and not where it really was, Cairo. They did so on the basis of his livret de famille (family record book) produced by the French foreign ministry in 1996.
In 1999, I summarized the uncovering of his true origins as reported by Christophe Boltanski and Jihan El-Tahri in their 1997 book, Les sept vies de Yasser Arafat.
Nov. 25, 2004 update: Adriana Stuijt, a South African journalist who edits "Uncensored South African News," notes that another terrorist acquired great wealth and a Nobel Peace Prize, as well as a secular sainthood, namely Nelson Mandela. "As a journalist," she writes, "I will never forget the many 'necklacings' I witnessed, seeing black fellow-South Africans burned to death with petrol-filled tyres about their necks at the express orders of Nelson Mandela and his henchmen, just because these unfortunates had disobeyed the African National Congress."

How did you write RIP on the mini grave tortillas?ReplyDeleteReplies
With an edible ink felt pen. You can get them at Michaels or the Bulk Barn. If you do not intend on eating the ones placed in the dip then you could just use a regular felt - just remember to tell your guests not to eat those ones! :)Delete

OH!! Completely forgot about the edible ink pens!! Possibilities are endless!! I never can get my eyeballs just right!! LOL!!Delete
Couldn't you just use the gel icing?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes. You could also use gel icing...it's just thicker than the pens. :)Delete

Ooh, I just saw a brain mold last night at walmart and was wondering what I'd use it for considering I hate hello. Guess I'll have to go back and pick it up.ReplyDelete
I saw your graveyard dip on Pinterest and had to stop by and tell you how cute it is. When I got here, I realized you had a whole collection of great dips. They are all amazing.ReplyDelete
Is there something I can substitute the shrimp with? Or do you think it would still work without it? We have Shrimp allergies in the family but I really want to make this.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hmmm..... I'm pretty sure it would work without the shrimp! Please let us know if you give it a try.Delete
I think I'm going to try it with chipped beef. Might as well, I already have the mold. I think it will be good.ReplyDelete

Has anyone tried the brain dip? Is it any good?ReplyDelete
Fresh shrimp or the tiny ones in the can? Need for tonight!ReplyDeleteReplies
We used fresh ones but I am sure if you drained the canned ones they would work just as well...Delete
When you say one package of unflavored gelatin.. What exactly constitutes a package?ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh my gosh, your brain dip is awesome... gross, but awesome!!!ReplyDelete
Visiting from Kitchen Fun with my 3 Sons - This graveyard is so cute! Every year we have a family Halloween Party and I think I might just have to make my own graveyard to take. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Not a fan of shrimp - any other options that would produce similar look??? This would be great option for a party I am going to....ReplyDeleteReplies
Hmmm... not sure what else would work Diana. The shrimp really adds to the color and texture of the dip. You could add little bits of cooked chicken but, of course, that wouldn't have the same look. You could also try the fake crab (Alaskan Pollock) as it has the bits of color similar to shrimp. Let us know how it goes for you!Delete

My boyfriend and I just decided to host a small at-home adult Halloween cocktail party and we each agreed to make a few Halloween-themed appetizers and a Halloween-themed cocktail. Of course, we are very competitive and I want to really surprise him (and outdo him - LOL) with some cool and different "creations." The Brain Dip sounds great -- what did you serve it with? THANKS!ReplyDeleteReplies
Good luck with your party!! We usually serve the brain dip with baguette bread. (We made it this year and served it with tortilla chips and that was tasty as well)Delete

That's sounds super delicious and I'm so trying to make the brain for this years Halloween party. How pig are the shrimps and do you cut them into smaller pieces as well or not?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, you chop them up into small bits. :) Hope you enjoy this dip as much as we do! :)Delete

This may be a dumb question but in the dip, how long do you cook the shrimp? Also, do you just boil it?ReplyDeleteReplies

A Muskegon County man is sentenced to 55 years in prison for arson. WZZM says, 74-year-old, Gerald Singer, of Norton Shores, was convicted in March by a Grand Rapids federal jury on eleven different charges. Some of these charges include arson, mail fraud and filing false tax documents. Singer was attempting to collect $700,000 in insurance settlements by burning down a number of Muskegon-area properties that he owned, including an apartment complex. He appeared in court Thursday where he was given his lengthy sentence in addition to having to pay just over $650,000 in restitution. The judge told him he was given the 55-year-sentence because someone could have been injured or died in the fires.
An Osceola County man pleads guilty to criminal sexual conduct. 34-year-old Lauren Davin Derscheid, of Evart, was in the Mason County Court on Tuesday, according to the Mason County Press.

Dear Diary Happened
So yesterday was the first time we really got to try out my brother's new double-TV basement setup. The plan was to watch all of the football for 14 straight hours, but once the Wisconsin game ended the kinderfolk had taken over TV2 and put on the movie that the current generation of kinderfolk cannot stop watching: Frozen. During one lengthy halftime, we acquiesced to a volume swap, and soon enough here's this room full of men in MSU and Alabama and Michigan gear intently watching a (double-) princess flick.
|This won the internet' in December. By Red_Lee
From what I've managed to piece together of the plot from 30+ partial viewings, there's a snowy kingdom with a rich shipping and ice manufacturing industrial base that comes to be ruled by a princess with magical ice powers. As a kid she shoots her sister with it. Later the sister gets engaged to a prince she doesn't bother to scout, and as a result ice princess accidentally locks her country in a polar vortex. Ice princess then runs off, sings "eff it all" and builds ice castles until her sister shows up, at which point she shoots her sister again. So now she has to come back and make things right, which leads to her shooting her sister a third time, and this slowly turns sis into an ice statue. Then ice princess hugs the statue and cries, and everything suddenly goes back to summer because all along she had the ability to de-ice everything by loving something other than herself.
Message received, Disney. Now that Michigan's leadership is actually focusing on the realm instead of the realm's perception of its leadership, it turns out our wealthy little Nordic fantasy land doesn't have to be a barren, frozen waste-tundra after all.
Bronxblue gave the whole coaching search his Best and Worst treatment. Like the rest of us, he found the whole thing refreshingly sensical, like Michigan was acknowledging factors that created bad decisions in the past, and was approaching the pursuit of Harbaugh and Plan B with a zeal for deliberation and responsibility that Dave Brandon put into presenting himself as deliberate and responsible.
He also got into the meta of reporting on this process. As a rule of thumb, the more a media person is saying "trust ME" instead of "trust THIS INFORMATION" the less you should believe him.

Unverified Voracity Is Getting A Call From Mom
wait, what? – Caleb TerBush
Yikes. Michigan is a mere three-point favorite against Purdue this weekend, which seems mighty narrow to me. I may be assuming that Denard Robinson does not turn the ball over five times, which Vegas is not. Boo 2012 Notre Dame game, boo.
Purdue's coming off a not-as-close-as-you-think game against Marshall in which they led 42-14 at halftime before yielding three touchdowns in the first 18 minutes of the second half and allowing the Herd to get within ten points. They traded touchdowns in the final 12 minutes, and that was the final margin. Marshall's lost to Ohio and beat Rice in two OTs; they've got the worst scoring D in the country at the moment, and they outgained Purdue by 91 yards. If Michigan only wins by three I'll be expecting bad things the rest of the season. Purdue QB Caleb TerBush was ineffective against ND (8 of 19, 79 yards, 1 TD/2 INT) and was pulled for a considerably better Robert Marve. Marve won't be available.
So what I'm saying is that at first blush I don't like the spread, which makes me feel both sad and alarmed because it's the best predictor available. I would like to avoid posting this at any point over the weekend:
Beyer's back. The most newsy bit of the press conference:
How's your team's health?
"There ya go. You know, I think Beyer will be back. Brandon Moore will be close. He's getting better."
Richard Ash?
"Richard is better. Uh there's one more, too."
"Hop's fine. Devin's fine. They all practiced last night. Yeah Ricky Barnum was a little -- sore shoulder. He was fine last night. So with the guys who aren't out for the year, the rest of them are okay."
Marvin Robinson?
"He was better. He ran around last night and he feels much better."
Beyer was walking around in an air cast after his injury and I was a little worried he might be laid up for a long time, which would have been bad. The options at WDE were a major target for ND and didn't do so well. Beyer at least gives them another option at the spot. Clark makes more plays you notice, but I'll bet a nickel Beyer is less likely to get caved in and give up the edge.
Also, feel free to infer that Brink is out for the year from the above.
Also also, this:
Are you worried that Denard is what he is, i.e. not improving in your system?
"No. Not at all. I mean, he's our quarterback, and he's a damned good quarterback. I didn't say that, so don't write that. No we're very comfortable and we're very confident in him. … I know you're going to write that."
I will.
"Daggone it. My mom's going to read that and get mad."
She doesn't think you swear?
"Why don't you just ask a question."
And you're fired and you're fired and you're fired. Extreme media hostility isn't just for Los Angeles anymore:
Tuesday, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier finally spoke with his media after two days of giving an opening statement and then refusing to field questions.
What has Spurrier so irked? Apparently columnist Ron Morris — again.
Ron Morris is a columnist at The State in South Carolina and has become Spurrier's nemesis. Last October, Spurrier called out Morris for something he wrote in the spring regarding then-basketball player Bruce Ellington and how Spurrier persuaded Ellington to play football.
This time, according to Saturday Down South, Spurrier seems to be mad about a Morris column that questioned playing quarterback Connor Shaw against UAB. Shaw, who has been nursing an injured shoulder he suffered in the season opener against Vanderbilt, injured the shoulder again against the Blazers.
The excerpt from the column that follows is pretty tame (also: dumb). Spurrier is accused of a "poor decision" to play Connor Shaw with a dinged shoulder, which he re-injured in the game. The column is just another tossed-off nothing (Shaw was 20 of 21 against Missouri), but apparently this business goes back a ways. Be chill, OBC.
Meanwhile, a local news station axed the guy's weekly segment, causing free speech rabbling.
Meanwhile in local media situations. Meinke is writing articles based off of his viewing of Inside Michigan Football. Interesting ones, even. Here's Mattison on Morgan defending that goddamned counter draw:
Mattison said he was most impressed by Morgan's discipline, specifically citing one counter draw play on which the sophomore could have pursued the ball, but elected to stay home as he was taught.
The play came back to him, and he made the tackle.
"We gave him that play probably four times in practice, and every time we gave it to him, we said, 'Desmond, you've got to stay home. You can't help on that sprint anyhow,'" Mattison said. "Well that same thing has happened before and he would go running and try to make the play because he's a young guy eager to make plays.
"All of the sudden, in this game, he became more of a veteran."
And Mattison on Raymon Taylor:
"Raymon has really improved," defensive coordinator Greg Mattison said this week on the Inside Michigan Football radio show. "He has been thrown in the fire. If someone would have said to me at the beginning of the year, 'Will he be starting against Notre Dame?' I don't know if I would have said yes.
"(But) I was really proud of him how he played. He knows he's got a lot of things he has to get better at, but one thing he didn't do was shy away from anything. He competed."
I'm not sure you can do that. In yet another NHL draft ranking, Chris Peters tackles prospects 26-50. D Michael Downing and F Tyler Motte show up, FWIW, but I'm most intrigued by this construction:
49. Tyler Motte - C - U.S. National Under-18 Team (USHL) - 5-9, 190
When at his best, he's an offensively dynamic talent. Good speed, solid strength despite a smallish frame, and good finish around the net make him an intriguing prospect. Motte has had a problem with consistency, which he has a whole season to prove isn't a problem anymore.
Lloyd Carr feels you, Mr. Peters. Also, yes please 5-9 kid good enough to be a second rounder. Needs moar tiny scoring machines at Yost.
Nice concourse. Wow:
That's quite a difference from last year. Also the zambonis have studded tires now. Yost Built is back to posting, BTW. The Blue/White game scheduled for next Sunday will be a start-studded even thanks to the NHL lockout.
Etc.: UMHoops previews Jordan Morgan and Matt Vogrich. AP Mealer article is everywhere. Trey Burke is a third-team All-American to the Sporting News. Baumgardner on Burke. Weinreb on Holgo and the WVU-Baylor game. Michigan hasn't sucked after byes.

Unverified Voracity Hopes To Eat Again
Eatin': taken. One of our new MGoShirts is this:
I was sent the usual batch of ideas to thumb up or thumb down and thumbed this one up because I'd either missed or forgotten the fact that Martavious Odoms had put together a charity for a hurting city of Pahokee with a shirt based around the same concept. As the kids who are now about 35 say, my bad.
We've taken the thing down for now and are in the process of reaching out to Hope For Pahokee so we can put it back up and donate the proceeds to them. I'll let you know when we get cleared.
Ufer. A recut version of a Ufer thing I've posted before.
Honor Willis Ward. The Michigan State game marks the 78th anniversary of the Georgia Tech-Michigan game that saw Tech protest the existence of Willis Ward. Gerald Ford had to be talked out of quitting the team after Ward was benched; Michigan won 9-2, defeating racism forever*.
Anyway, the state legislature is making October 20th Willis Ward day and the filmmakers who have been publicizing his story are trying to get something together for the Michigan State game. It seems like this would be one of those things where you talk to someone in the athletic department and he says "of course," but must not be since the guys behind the idea are assembling an online petition to help bolster their case.
Hit it up. More details are available at MVictors.
*[Probably. I haven't done a whole lot of research on this point.]
Oh my God run around in circles yesss. Sunday Morning QB returns. Matt Hinton's still writing for a couple of other outlets, so its glory may not reach the heights of long long ago but at least now there is a place for Hinton to put the things that are 1) very good and 2) not likely to end up on the Yahoo front page because they're not viral™. See: a comprehensive overview of the have-nots. Bookmark/RSS away.
This is more like it. Indiana just announced a student loyalty program that actually seems worthwhile:
Under the new priority seating system, students earn -and have earned– priority points while they are in school by purchasing men's basketball and/or football season tickets each year. To reward the most loyal student fans, the 3900 students with the most priority points heading into the 2012-13 school year will be guaranteed the lower bowl seats for the highly anticipated North Carolina game on November 27, 2012.
IU students earn priority points while they are in school by purchasing men's basketball and football tickets. Students receive 5 points each time they purchase season tickets with a maximum of 10 points per year if they purchase them for both men's basketball and football season. Also new this year, students will have an additional opportunity to earn loyalty points by attending the games for which they have tickets, or making certain their tickets are used by other students. One point will be given for each game attended or each time an individual ticket is scanned at the gate. Only the original ticket holder can earn loyalty points for the use of their tickets. The more loyalty points a student earns, the better chance they have of obtaining the student tickets allocated for post-season tournaments (NCAA, Big Ten Tournament, etc.). Student point totals for purchased season tickets are automatically transferred to alumni point totals following the student's graduation from IU.
They also base ticket availability at certain other premium games on their points. No check-ins, a tangible reward that really matters to the students in question (sweet seats and good tickets) and is not a t-shirt.
Oh, man. The MZone makes a thunderous return by rounding up videos of Alabama fans on Youtube.
I'm not sure about anything anymore.
Yes please. The SEC is loosening their rules for in-stadium video replays, but why did they have this one in the first place?
In the past, the SEC had a one real-time replay policy for all plays in all sports.
These companies that suck up digital rights and try to monetize them are all pretty bad—try explaining fair use to one—but XOS is the worst by far. Anyway, the SEC is now going to allow replays from the TV network broadcasting the game (again, why prohibit this?) during reviews. I'm guessing that decision is to prevent biased home-field folks from ramping up outrage by selectively picking favorable angles. It makes sense.
The stated reason for the change is to keep fans coming to games by making the in-stadium experience not worse than sitting at home. Here's hoping Purdue and other schools that have trouble selling out ram this through in the Big Ten.
Um? Brady Hoke has a much different take on the new kickoff rules than any I'd seen before:
On the new kickoff rules: "I think as it plays out, there will be a little more we all learn. You try to use the NFL model from a year ago the best you can. The one thing you learn from the NFL, guys are taking it out of the end zone 8 yards deep. I think you'll see more of that. Personally, if we can get the ball or give the opponent the ball at the 25, that is something I'll be happy with."
Why would you run the ball out eight yards deep? Because the kick return guys can't get there in time? I'd be surprised if there was that much of a difference. Certainly not enough to justify a KO attempt where you have to make it 33 yards to break even. Touchbacks ho.
Plead down. MLive's Kyle Meinke just tweeted this out:
Michigan RB Fitz Toussaint, facing operating while intoxicated charge, pleads down to operating while visibly impaired
A quick googling turns up a bunch of sketchy law firms, but the Michigan site has the various penalties for these things and OWVI looks almost identical to OWI. Still assume that Toussaint is suspended for Alabama and Hoke is playing silly fun games with Nick Saban, who is totally fooled.

Well what was the point of that then? As you may have spotted on the message board, Michigan has updated its roster for fall and changed a large number of the weights they just issued to the media in Chicago. For example, Willie Henry is now 314 pounds, up from 302, and seems all but certainly destined to be a nose tackle down the road. Other notable changes:
- Terry Richardson is +8 to 162, which is better but still too small to see the field.
- RJS is +7 to 213, which ditto.
- Mario Ojemudia is vaguely plausible at 231 (+8).
- Ben Braden is down 11 to 308.
- Chris Wormley is +11 to 279, i.e. one pound more than Craig Roh.
- Ricardo Miller is down to 226 from 234 last year.
Either Willie Henry's high school weights were massively outdated or he's put on a lot of weight he'll have to reshape over the next year or two. It's probably a combo. Meanwhile, the slight Chris Wormley redshirts just evaporated.
Who likes touchdowns? You do.
You: don't talk to anyone. As Heiko noted yesterday, the proverbial Fort is back and in full effect:
Michigan's athletic department has made a few changes regarding media access for the upcoming season:
- Players' family members cannot be interviewed without permission from the athletic department.
- Freshmen will be withheld from media day.
- Practice will be closed to all media.
When asked why these changes were being made, an athletic department spokesman said "are you stepping to the man?" and delivered a Degeneration X crotch chop in the general direction of the media.
This is probably good for the site since it relies less on that whole "talking to people" thing—gross—than traditional media, but as a fan I'm disappointed. Ohio State is taking the opposite tack, letting media into dang near anything. Eleven Warriors is bringing back observations like this…
Day Two of Urban Meyer's first fall camp at Ohio State may have been the best offensive practice since his arrival. Quarterback Braxton Miller delivered the goods and wide receivers Devin Smith and Evan Spencer finally looked like the skill position players Meyer offenses always covet.
Another bright spot has been the emergence of Meyer's first recruiting class. The two-deep is littered with freshmen with everything pointing to several playing Sept. 1.
…and Michigan media is going to recycle press conference quotes until there's a game. Ohio State even signed up for the ESPNU show that's essentially college Hard Knocks, a prospect that caused several Michigan athletic department staffers to expire from massive cerebral hemorrhages when they heard the news and made the mistake of thinking about having cameras at practice. I'm openly dreading this upcoming Mott practice thing since it's just going to be 90 minutes of punting drills again.
This is of course fine as long as Michigan wins football games, but it's just another way in which it feels like the program feels its fans are not part of the team.
CAMERAS AT PRACTICE /dozens die Doug Karsch and his weird hair wisp bring you the officially-sanctioned version of what went on inside said Fort:
Within, we find out that:
- Michigan is playing Alabama
- This is fall camp
- They have sleds
- The practice jerseys are even more ADIDAS
- I'm sorry, I forgot what I was saying.
Coming soon: no talking to former players either. But before that happens, TTB catches up with Troy Woolfolk:
The main difference between the coaching staffs is that Coach Hokestresses physicality. We would do drills that had nothing to do with football, but just to see the toughness in the player. We'd do this one drill where there was just this towel on a mat. And at the beginning there're two people holding it, and one person had to eventually take it from the other person. It gets really rough down there; people get bloody noses and stuff. It teaches you into becoming a man and how to hold yours. . . . [If Coach Hoke came to Michigan in 2008], we probably would have won a National Championship in 2011."
Jake Ryan is his pick for a breakout player this year.
Yes anonymous snark. Athlon Sports takes up the Sporting News baton by publishing anonyomous coaches' takes on their conferencemates. These are usually great. I mean:
"I hated to see the Zooker get let go last season, but you could see it coming."
My assumption remains that all of these come from Joe Tiller. Unfortunately, the Michigan one is really boring.
Gardner WR Gardner WR Gardner WRRRRR. Apparently I'm naming my Roomba "Gardner." Anyway, WR hype is collected by Nick Baumgardner:
"He's a great athlete, I feel like he could play anywhere and he could probably take my spot if he tried," Michigan senior safety Jordan Kovacs said. "He's a natural athlete, and if they play him at receiver, I'm sure he'll be pretty good.
"Wherever he plays, he's going to make big plays."
This is going to be a fascinating subplot. Here's hoping he's ridiculously good. That probably goes without saying.
Deathborg pairing is go. Michael Spath talks to Billy Powers about Jon Merrill's return and comes back with news about who his partner will be to start. It will be Trouba:
"We have some very nice pieces to work with this season, and if those two get together early, and it's a pair we really like, you could see them stick together for most of the year," Powers said. "It's not set in stone, but we like to have a veteran guy with a young guy and that's a pair you could really see emerging into something special."
If Merrill manages to maintain his form from his 6-10 games and avoids the slide that he suffered towards the end of the year, that will be a killer pairing. Now if Red would only ride it like it was an intergalactic space donkey. If that works out like you think it might, those guy should be 30 minutes a night players.
In other hockey news, new 2015 commit Brendan Warren makes me feel old by being born the year I graduated from high school. He's the usual: supposed NTDP lock who may or may not arrive the high end prospect he's expected to be.
He's a top seven guy. Trey Burke finishes seventh in a CBS Sports poll that asked college coaches "if you could add any one player to your team for next season, who would it be?"
- Indiana sophomore Cody Zeller: 35 percent
- UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad: 12 percent
- Ohio State junior Aaron Craft: 9 percent
- Creighton junior Doug McDermott: 9 percent
- Murray State senior Isaiah Canaan: 7 percent
- Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel: 7 percent
- Michigan sophomore Trey Burke: 5 percent
Impressive company. I'm a little surprised to see Aaron Craft in third place, but I'm telling you guys who can affect the game without using possession are super valuable. That's another reason to get excited about Zak Irvin, who sounds like a lockdown perimeter defender.
BONUS: updated rankings have started to come out. Scout relents and moves Irvin into their top 100 at 62; Walton is 43 and Donnal 80. IIRC both of the latter guys are essentially static. MaxPreps has close to identical rankings of Walton (42) and Donnal (73) but Irvin is near five-star status for them at 26. Both ESPN and Rivals have repeatedly praised Walton and Irvin this summer, so bumps are expected when those services debut new rankings.
The "W" stands for "I put no effort into this, not even figuring out what W stands for." Apparently both teams in the Wisconsin-Nebraska game this fall are going to look like they're wearing crappy UTL knockoffs. Nebraska's uniforms were pretty meh but Wisconsin's are self-parodying:
I don't think that's electrical tape but it could be. Best UW take: "They're the uniform equivalent of scheduling Wofford."
Etc.: Jerald Robinson pleads to his minor destruction of property thing. UMHoops has scouting video of Derrick Walton's 16/13/7 performance in the Adidas 64 championship game. Slovenia! Has anyone noticed that the #6 team in the country according to the coaches' poll has 70 scholarship players? Also, 2012 USC as the overhyped 2008 Georgia team.
The Big East could get a real TV deal. NBC Sports to the rescue. Trey Burke, Jordan Morgan, and Corey Person purchase lemonade. Basketball's game vs NC State is at 7:30 on ESPN.

With all this to do it is often easy to miss all the extras we have on site, such as; our seasonal outdoor pool and sundeck, newly renovated game room, restaurant and lounge, recently expanded and upgraded fitness center, free movie nights in our on-site movie theater and Wednesday Manager's Reception with complimentary refreshments, appetizers and more! Once you experience the contemporary charm of the Wyndham Garden Glen Mills / Wilmington and our warm and welcoming staff you will never want to leave.
