Lindsey Vonn lit up the Red Carpet at last night's ESPY awards. The Olympic skiier traded in her mountain gear in favor of a more feminine look in a stunning blush satin gown and statement necklace.
While we expected to see more of the men rocking hot watches at this year's red carpet- Vonn pleasantly surprised us by representing Rolex (for whom she is a brand ambassador), in a stainless steel Datejust with Jubilee band. What do you think- did Lindsey's watch show up the boys at this year's ESPYs?

Security Wonks Reveal Holes in Firefox Straight Out of the Gate
Firefox developers worldwide spent months vetting and testing the many betas and release candidates that Mozilla served up. After all that poking and prodding, the final version still had at least one security flaw, which TippingPoint's DVLabs held up to the light Wednesday. The security researchers haven't offered details on how the exploit works, but they have notified Mozilla, which is presumably working on a fix.
Jun 19, 2008 2:29 PM PT
As Mozilla went after a Guinness World Record for the most downloads in a 24-hour period with its release of Firefox 3, it didn't take security researchers long to drop a bomb on all the browsing fun. TippingPoint's DVLabs reported that its Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) program received a critical vulnerability affecting Firefox 3.0 as well as prior versions of Firefox 2.0.x.
Are 8 million newly minted Firefox 3 surfers taking to the Web with a broken browser?
Broken, of course, is just a fancy alliteration. In reality, DVLabs and Mozilla are both keeping the details under wraps, so it's hard to say how vulnerable Firefox 3 actually is.
"Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Not unlike most browser-based vulnerabilities that we see these days, user interaction is required such as clicking on a link in e-mail or visiting a malicious Web page," DVLabs noted.
So how does a vulnerability slip past all the planning and building and testing that goes into a widely used browser like Firefox? With the many betas and release candidates Mozilla put out prior to the official launch, wasn't there ample opportunity to find the problem earlier?
The Process
DVLabs verified the vulnerability, acquired it from the researcher, then reported it to Mozilla. DVLabs will keep quiet about the details -- at least for an undisclosed time period -- to give Mozilla time to issue a bug fix.
TippingPoint buys the vulnerabilities from security researchers, whom some simply call "hackers." Good and bad intentions aside, TippingPoint purchases vulnerabilities based on the severity of the flaw and the scope of the problem. The more downloads and hype there is surrounding a flaw, the more important it is; therefore, there's a better chance the seller will fetch a better price.
In this case, the security researcher wants to remain anonymous, and TippingPoint will keep the seller's identity under wraps.
DVLabs did not respond to a request for comment. Mozilla pointed to its security blog, which offered few additional details.
"This issue is currently under investigation. To protect our users, the details of the issue will remain closed until a patch is made available. There is no public exploit, the details are private, and so the risk to users is minimal," noted Windows Snyder, Mozilla's security team leader.
Waiting Patiently
The big question now, of course, is when might Mozilla complete a fix.
"Considering how high-profile it is, I'd highly suspect a very rapid fix," Rich Mogull, an independent security consultant with Securosis.com, told LinuxInsider.
"Maybe days at the worst, but it's hard to guess. It really depends on the nature of the vulnerability and the work required to generate and properly test a fix," he added.
As for actual risk to users, Mogull said the risk is quite small. "As part of the ZDI program, no vulnerability details are released, and whoever found it is legally barred from releasing details. While they could break that contract, then they don't get paid," he explained. They could also open themselves up to a lawsuit, he added.
Both Clean and Risky
Unfortunately, the mere avoidance of questionable porn sites and infected file-sharing networks cannot guarantee a Web surfer will stay safe from maliciously crafted links. Even squeaky clean surfers can find themselves at risk.
"Thanks to cross-site scripting, we've seen even trusted sites become a vector for browser-based attacks," Mogull said, though he did note that this particular issue doesn't seem to exist in the wild, and that it should be fixed soon anyway.

ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech basketball star Iman Shumpert announced Tuesday that he will remain in the pool of players eligible for the upcoming NBA Draft, ending a three-year collegiate career in which he developed into one of the top players in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Shumpert, a 6-foot-5 junior who was selected to the All-ACC Second Team in 2011, will retain an agent and begin working out for NBA teams to prepare for the draft.
"I've decided to forego my senior year at Georgia Tech, keep my name in the NBA draft for this year and hire an agent," Shumpert said in a statement released by the school Tuesday. "I appreciate everything that Georgia Tech has done for me over my time here. I've tried to take advantage of everything we have available, from our academic support system to our coaching staff and strength and conditioning, to help make me a better person and player. I want to thank the Georgia Tech fans for their support of our program even though we haven't always met their expectations.
"I also want to extend my support to Coach Gregory and the new staff here going forward. I know the program is in good hands, and I look forward to following their progress. I'll always remember everything that Georgia Tech has done for me."
Shumpert, who was selected to the ACC's All-Defensive team in 2011, finished his career No. 32 on Georgia Tech's all-time scoring list with 1,166 points. He also climbed to 11th place on Tech's career list for assists (382) and 4th in steals (207).
"Iman has been great during this entire process," said new head coach Brian Gregory. "He has participated in our team's spring workouts and has continued to do well in his classes while also gathering the important information needed to make this decision. He's had a tremendous career here, and I support the decision he and his family have made.
"After working with him the last month or so, I'm confident that his workouts will be very good and he has a successful NBA career in front of him. Iman and I have already begun discussions on completing his degree here. It is important to him and to his family that he is a graduate of Georgia Tech."
In 2011, he achieved a rare feat by becoming only the fourth player in ACC history to lead his team in scoring (17.3 points per game), rebounds (5.9), assists (3.5) and steals (2.7). He ranked fourth in the conference in scoring average, 15th in rebound average, 10th in assists and first in steals. He also was among the Top 10 in free throw and field goal percentages.
He scored in double figures 55 times in 92 career games, and recorded the fourth triple-double in Tech history against Virginia Tech on Jan. 25, scoring 22 points with 11 rebounds and 11 assists. It is the only triple-double ever for a Tech player against an ACC opponent.
ATHENS -- Georgia coach Mark Fox has signed John Cannon, a center from Burnsville, N.C.
Cannon (6-10, 225) averaged 21.9 points, 12.3 rebounds and 6.5 blocks at Mountain Heritage High School.
Fox says Cannon has "good size and good skills for a young, big man."
Earlier in the spring signing period, Fox signed forward Nemanja Djurisic, a native of Montenegro who finished his high school career in South Kent, Conn.
Fox signed three players in November: guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, from Greenville, Ga.; forward Tim Dixon, from Columbus, Ga.; and 7-foot center John Florveus, from Fort Myers, Fla.
The spring signing period ends on May 18.

For as long as I can remember I've been a worry wart. Not like I have an anxiety disorder kind, but worry wart none the less. When I was in grade school I was type-casted in the role of Tessie in Annie, the little girl forever going, "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!"
I think my worrying is rooted in my ability to see the big picture. I look at every choice, every decision as sending me on some sort of far-reaching trajectory. Ripple effect and all that. Thus I'm a planner. I used to be the sort of 1 year, 3 year, 10 year planner.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Four years after a private eye went to prison for wiretapping phones of the rich and famous on behalf of celebrities and Hollywood heavyweights, his clients are facing hefty bills for his skullduggery.
In the first of more than a dozen lawsuits against Anthony Pellicano's well-heeled clients, a jury last week ruled against the ex-wife of a billionaire philanthropist, awarding $4 million to his three adult children and former personal assistant after she violated their privacy.
The verdict could spell trouble for other former clients who have been sued, such as Paramount studio head Brad Grey and one-time superagent Michael Ovitz.
The case against the ex-wife, Jacqueline Colburn, is the first to be tried before a jury stemming from a criminal probe that ensnared Pellicano for targeting Sylvester Stallone, Garry Shandling and Kevin Nealon and for work he did for others like Chris Rock and an attorney who represented MGM mogul Kirk Kerkorian in a child custody battle.
Pellicano, 68, is now serving 15 years in a federal prison in Texas after being convicted in 2008 of racketeering and more than six dozen other counts, including conspiracy, wire fraud and wiretapping. He is scheduled to be released in March 2019.
The trial billed as a blockbuster that would reveal the seedier side of Hollywood fizzled in the end as Pellicano kept silent, acting as his own lawyer.
The evidence showed he dug up dirt on clients' rivals by bribing phone company employees to install wiretapping software and had rogue police officers search databases for personal information. The information was used in hardball negotiations for business disputes, divorces and lawsuits.
Clients such as Grey, Ovitz and comedian Rock were never charged in the case and they insisted they didn't know about Pellicano's tactics. Kerkorian also has said that he had no knowledge of any wiretapping being used.
Grey and Ovitz are now facing lawsuits that could be costly and where the evidence is potentially stronger than the Colburn case, which relied largely on testimony and not on FBI reports or damning audio tapes made by Pellicano.
"I would think people will think long and hard about their exposure," said attorney Lawrence Segal, who represented Richard Colburn's children. "A lot of defendants may be thinking that in the absence of actual recordings they stand a decent chance of a defense. But we were able to prevail on a largely circumstantial case."
About a dozen lawsuits have moved slowly through the legal system alleging wiretapping and privacy invasion. Among the other defendants are AT&T and the cities of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, where the police officers who provided information to Pellicano worked.
Most of the lawsuits are pending before a judge but have been mired by appeals in the criminal case, which allows Pellicano and others to preserve their right against self-incrimination, and the exchange of documents between attorneys was put on hold for many months. No trial dates have even been set.
A settlement in some of the lawsuits has been reached, said attorney Brian Kabateck, who represents several Pellicano victims, but a deal hasn't been finalized. He said the Colburn verdict provides some reassurance to his clients.
"It shows that juries are still outraged about this behavior even though it was many years ago," he said. "I think it sends a message to the defendants that they are going to have to pay real money."
The verdict in the Colburn case is a fraction of the fortune billionaire philanthropist left behind when he died in 2004 at age 92.

A modern dictionary of Catholic terms, both common and obscure. Find accurate definitions of words and phrases.
A term in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) to redefine man as Dasein in Zeitlichkeit, i.e., "being in temporality." On these premises human beings have no stable essence or nature. Rather they are constantly changing with the passage of time. Heideggerian philosophy has been applied to both the Gospels and to Catholic Church documents. When applied to the Gospels, their real meaning can be found only by stripping the story of Christ's life of its time-conditioned mythology. Applied to Church documents, Heigeggerianism calls for a reappraisal in modern terms of every Catholic doctrine from the past.

Malaria: one of life's big puzzles
Sammy Assefa hopes to contribute to solving the malaria puzzle
Malaria is a major global public health challenge with nearly half a billion cases each year. It's responsible for almost one million deaths annually, mostly children under the age of five in sub-Saharan Africa. Sammy Assefa joined the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute's Malaria Team to pursue his PhD, studying the malaria genome. He's piecing together a full sequence of a family of 60 genes that allow the parasite spread in the human body.
Sammy's Research
Malaria is a debilitating and sometimes fatal illness that is caused by infection passed between people and mosquitoes. Sammy Assefa is one of the researchers from the Sanger Institute's Malaria Programme hoping to make a contribution to the global control and elimination of malaria. The central aim of Malaria Programme is to tackle fundamental questions in malaria biology and to discover host-parasite interactions that are critical for drug and vaccine development.
" Malaria is a tough opponent. In the bloodstream, the parasite invades our blood cells; it makes them sticky, clogging the vessels and in the worst scenario, leads to severe cases of cerebral and placental malaria. "
Sammy Assefa
Sammy is in the final phase of his PhD, working in Dr Matt Berriman's team to piece together the genetic mechanisms that allow the malaria parasite to evade the immune system.
"Malaria is a tough opponent," explains Sammy. "In the bloodstream, the parasite invades our blood cells; it makes them sticky, clogging the vessels and in the worst scenario, leads to severe cases of cerebral and placental malaria. The parasite has an extraordinary array of 60 genes [known as var genes] dedicated to evading the host immune response."
How malaria evades our immune system
"The difficulty with my research is that the family of genes I am studying, var genes, are evolving rapidly," continues Sammy.
This family of 60 var genes code for a particular protein that controls the interaction of the malaria parasite with the human host. To stop our immune system from recognising the active protein, members of the var gene family work in a mutually exclusive manner. A gene recognised by the immune system is switched off and another gene in the family is activated, cloaking the parasite once more.
"These genes are highly mosaic in nature which enables parasites to rapidly generate new gene types by a random shuffling of smaller blocks. By assembling sequences and looking at the stable and variable regions, we can begin to ask questions such as, 'what is the global diversity of these genes?' and, 'which features afford the parasite to cause severe illness?'" says Sammy.
"Imagine that the sequencing machine returns each gene in the malaria parasite's armoury in a puzzle of DNA fragments," explains Sammy. "My goal is to piece together these individual puzzles out of these fragments. The real difficulty is that all of these puzzles share pieces that are mixed together in one big pot!"
Sammy Assefa, PhD student at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. [Genome Research Limited]
To work out the full sequences of the var genes, Sammy has developed a new method. He first identifies short sequences (motifs) that are shared between a known set of var genes. He then uses these as 'bait' to select relevant sequence reads from the millions that are derived from sequencing a new parasite. These reads can then be assembled into larger fragments and used to identify new shared motifs. Iterating over this process many times leads to reconstruction of many novel full length var genes.
Once the family of genes is constructed, researchers will see the first complete view of var gene diversity in clinical samples. To understand more about how these genes relate to the severity of the symptoms of malaria, scientists need to understand the repertoire of the gene family within an individual patient and how they evolve in hope to get a clearer picture of how the parasite evolves.
Sammy's work is the result of a longstanding collaboration with the the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme in Kenya and other research groups in the MalariaGEN network. This remarkable international network comprises of a community of researchers in over 20 countries that allow large-scale collaborative projects to be conducted across multiple populations.
In the future, Sammy would like to extend his research to try to correlate gene activity with the severity of the symptoms. His overall ambition is to see his insights translate as strategies that could help treat patients.
"We know that the battle against malaria is an evolutionary arms race - and genomic research will be at the heart of resolving this battle," says Professor Dominic Kwiatkowski, who leads the Sanger Institute's Malaria Programme. "We are now at a threshold in genomic research where we can begin to look in detail at many individual genomes to try to pinpoint those genetic factors that allow the parasite to thrive and cause the specific outcomes we see as a result of this devastating disease."
Var Genes
var genes code for a particular protein that controls the interaction of the malaria parasite with the human host. [doi:10.1038/nature01097]
The malaria parasite, P. falciparum, has evolved to evade the immune system. It does this by continuously changing the version of a protein, known as PfEMP1, which it deposits on the surface of infected cells. var genes are a family of genes that code for this protein and control interaction with the human host.
The malaria genome contains a family of approximately 60 var genes which are highly unstable and variable and encode a single set of proteins that allow the parasite to mount this attack. By expressing different molecules on the surface of the cells, the parasite can evade the immune system, causing prolonged and chronic infections in patients.
The parasite uses only one of the 60 genes at a time. As the host immune system can see these surface proteins, it launches a protective antibody response. The parasite is able to avoid this response by regularly switching between different versions of the proteins. This is called antigenic variation.
Because of the importance for parasite survival, there is extremely high diversity in the var gene family which makes reconstructing these genes from short sequences (typically ~70 base pairs) very challenging.
Sammy's Story
Sammy Assefa with Dame Claire Bertschinger. Sammy is a Trustee for A-CET and has an active role in providing IT support, fundraising and student counselling. [Genome Research Limited]
Sammy's insights into malaria are different from those of many of his colleagues at the Institute. He suffered malaria many times while growing up in North Western Ethiopia. From the ages of 11-18 he was struck by the disease once or twice a year. It inflicted people he knew, causing the deaths of young children in his community.
Throughout his early years, Sammy had ambitions to enter the medical profession. However, with limited educational choices, at the age of 18, he embarked on a degree in Industrial Engineering at Mekelle University, in Ethiopia.
One day Sammy had a chance encounter in an internet cafe with David Stables, chairman of a small charity called the African Children's Educational Trust (A-CET). David suggested that A-CET sponsor Sammy's continued education in the UK, their first student to benefit from an international scholarship, and in 2005, Sammy began his Master's degree in Information Systems Management at DeMontford University, Leicester.
After completing his Masters, an advertisement for an MPhil in Computational Biology at the University of Cambridge sparked Sammy's interest. Supported by A-CET again, Sammy studied in Cambridge for a year. During this time, he collaborated with researchers in the Sanger Institute's Malaria Programme. Dr Matt Berriman, a Faculty leader at the Sanger Institute, suggested Sammy join his team at the Institute to work on malaria.
After one year working for the Institute, Sammy applied for the Institute's four-year PhD programme, where he is now in his final year supervised by Dr Matt Berriman and Professor Chris Newbold.
The value of Sammy's research is recognized by his scientific leader who suggested Sammy should join his team.
"Sammy's dedication to his research is borne out of a real desire to enact positive change in the lives of people living in malaria-endemic countries," says Dr Matt Berriman, who heads the Parasite Genomics group at the Sanger Institute and Sammy's PhD superviser. "It is great that Sammy can connect with a cause that he saw first-hand in his youth in Ethiopia."

No Yankee can NOT have a home run call.
Among the suggestions today have been "A Granderslam", "A Grand Slam for Granderson", "A Dandy from Grandy" and "Curtis-y Call".
So, what are your suggestions?
If there's one that seems that everyone enjoys, I'll forward it to the appropriate authorities!
Submit away, as many as you'd like
A Dandy from Grandy

A Dandy from Grandy is really good!
Thats gotta be the one
Curt with the hurt
Don't hurt us, Curtis
Granderson got us some!
I LOVE "A Granderslam."
I hope Sterling gets hold of this somehow.
"Swunnnng on anddd … HIT IN THE AIR TO DEEP RIGHT!!! NNNNIT IS HIGGGH… NNNIT IS FAAAR… NNNNIT IS GAHHHHN!!!!!!! ISN'T HHHEEE GRAAAND?! Cuuurtis Granderson just put one over the right field fence and the Yankees take a 3-1 lead."
I think it helps to imagine John…
I love "a dandy from Grandy". It has that classic Sterlingesque feel.
I believe it will be a combination of Curt-is-Grand and Isn't he Grand. The fact that I'd be money on it probably means I listen to too many games on XM
(bursting into song – as JS will want to)
"He's a Yankee-Doodle-Grandy…."
The Grandy man can?
Oh boy. I miss the days when HR calls were reserved for Bernie & Tino.
O'Neill never had one. Little by little Sterling added "a Jeter jolt", "Jorgie juiced one" and so forth, but the "calls" seemed more special back then.
I like granderslam the best. Sterling will probably go with the cheesiest line possible.

Tampa, FL -- A man who spent most of his life serving his country and others is giving back once again, with a $300,000 check from his estate to the University of South Florida Foundation.
Dr. Walter Allwein was a surgeon and retired colonel in Vietnam who did quite a bit of pro bono work for veterans before he died earlier this year. His friends say he came from humble circumstances and never married.
A fundraising friend once asked what he was going to do with all his money which sparked a conversation about what he left behind. On top of the $100,000 he already donated to the university before he died, the additional money will go towards scholarships to military vets injured in the line of duty are doled out in his name to help them return to school after serving overseas.

Claire Lynch and the Front Porch String Band (#611)
Together againfor one last time.
Airs ...No upcoming broadcasts. List all airdates.
1997 International Bluegrass Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year Claire Lynch is one of bluegrass musics biggest stars. After more than 20 years in the business, multiple top-selling albums, numerous industry awards, and increasing success as a songwriter, the Alabama native has arrivedresoundinglyon the bluegrass A-list.
Lynch and the talented Front Porch String Band share their recipe for bluegrass success on this episode of Jubilee, performing tracks from their Grammy Award-nominated albums Moonlighter (1995) and Silver and Gold (1997) as well as a more recent release, Love Light, in a concert taped at the 2000 Master Musicians Festival in Somerset, KY.
As it turned out, the performance was one of fans last chances to see Lynch and the band perform together. In December 2000, the group performed its last live show as an ensemble. Lynch and founding mandolinist Larry Lynch are pursuing solo careers, while multiple IBMA Award-winning bassist Missy Raines and guitarist Jim Hurst, who also have appeared together on Jubilee, are gaining recognition as one of bluegrass best emerging duos. Claire Lynch also sang backup for two recent bluegrass releases by Dolly Parton, The Grass Is Blue and Little Sparrow, and for Partons subsequent tours.
Though they may have parted ways, its clear that Claire and the other members of Front Porch will be a central part of the bluegrass scene for some time to come.

I tried playing Brik Wars a while back, and I found the system sort of lacking. It probably didn't help that I'm not super rich and can order any parts I want so I need to deal with whatever I have accumulated from childhood.
As I seem to remember it, weapon damages and range were based on how big the weapon was, making placement on the construct very important. I didn't like this becasue I wanted to make my stuff look cool, which lead to everything having ridiculously short ranges and weak weapons.
Zahru II wrote:I would love to see a bigger community and actual organized play with big events happen... but I'm afraid I'm at the worst of places where it would never to be realized. I mean, stuck in the middle of Europe, the closest brikwarrior is Apollyon and he is about 400 kilometres (a rough guess) away.
As for popularizing the game locally, I have made previous attempts, even brought in armies to our local game store to demo the game, and it didn't really work out. Thing is, people still associate lego here with stuff that kiddies play with, and usually all I get is lengthy rants from 'mature and professional' modelers why lego is overpriced and they would rather invest in actual war games because it's more bang for your buck (oh the hypocrisy, spending 200$ on a starting army, amirite?). I could go on why the modeling community is a cancerous bunch of jerks with overbloated egos who think that painting tiny plastic figurines is an arcane sorcery only they can master (and they wonder why their hobby is dying with less and less people willing to start it), but that's not the point.
So... yeah. As long as being mature means shying away from playing a good game with fun toys, I'll be the only active brikwarrior here for a while.

Chocolate Dream Trifles
Chocolate Dream Trifles are luscious from the light mousse and chewy from the rich brownie bites. HEAVEN.
Yesterday I did an upper body workout for the first time in ages. I half expected to wake up looking like Madonna this morning. But instead I was just sore. Super sore. As I finish this post I'm grateful that typing requires only the movement of my fingers and not my arms.
I'm also grateful for chocolate. I'll never get sick of chocolate. It's one of my most super duper favorite things in the world. Just look at all the chocolate recipes I've posted over the months (there's a lot). This recipe is one to remember though because the combination of textures and the beautiful presentation are just so perfect. I get excited just thinking about it. Then I get sad when I remember that there's no more left. Wahh.
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
Texture: Luscious, light mousse and chewy, rich brownie bites all in one bowl? Heaven.
Ease: Pretty straightforward actually. I made the mousse and brownies a day ahead of time.
Appearance: Is there any dessert more beautiful than a trifle in a glass dish? I especially love these cute mini trifle dishes which can be found at Sur la Table or Amazon.
Pros: Brownie and mousse layers can be made a day ahead of time, entire trifle can be assembled a day ahead of time. Perfect for entertaining. DELICIOUS.
Cons: None really, except maybe that this dessert isn't exactly a daily treat.
Would I make this again? YES. Next time I might drizzle some chocolate sauce in between layers for extra indulgence.
Chocolate Dream Trifles
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours
Brownie Layer:
- 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
Mousse Layer:
- 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips, or 8 ounces semisweet chocolate,
- 2 cups heavy cream, well chilled
For the brownies:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Cover a 13 x 9 x 2 pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang, and spray with non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate, stirring constantly. Alternatively, melt in microwave using 30 second bursts in microwave safe container. Transfer chocolate mixture to bowl of stand mixer or large mixing bowl, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Add sugar vanilla to chocolate mixture, using the whisk attachment of your stand mixer or hand mixer – mix together until thoroughly combined.
Scrape down bowl, add eggs and salt mix until batter is lightened in color, 2-3 minutes. Stir in flour by hand until just combined. Spread mixture into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack 30 minutes. Can be made up to 3 days ahead.
For the mousse:
Fill a small saucepan half full with water. Choose a small, deep heatproof bowl that fits snugly on the saucepan. Be sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Add the chocolate to the small bowl and set the water-filled pan and bowl over medium heat.
Heat the chocolate, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until it is melted, about 5 minutes. During that time, the water should simmer, not boil. Adjust the heat up or down as needed. Turn off the heat. Remove the bowl from the saucepan of water. Set the bowl aside to cool slightly.
Pour the cream into a seperate large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium speed until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Add the warm chocolate to the cream. Continue beating on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. To test, turn off the mixer and lift the beaters. If the cream makes soft little peaks that flop over slightly, it is ready.
Spoon the mousse into serving cups or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before preparing trifle.
To assemble trifle:
Remove baked brownies from pan and using a large knife or bench scraper, cut into 1-inch chunks, or the best size to accommodate your trifle dish(es). Fill the bottom of your trifle dish with about half of the brownie chunks.
Spoon half of the chocolate mousse over the brownie chunks. Layer the remaining brownie chunks over the chocolate mousse layer. Spoon the remaining chocolate mousse over brownie layer. Serve now or refrigerate until ready to serve, up to one day.

How To Jailbreak iOS 6
Click the below banner to be taken to the download page
Are you considering a jailbreak ios 6, using Absinthe, Redsnow or GreenPois0n software? If you are, you may wonder how this type of software works, and how it is reviewed by real-life customers. In addition, you may be curious as to whether or not doing a jail break is really the right decision.
To help you get the vital facts that you need, so that you may make a wise and informed decision about whether or not your iPhone should be jailbroken, we've compiled a helpful quick guide. With our tips, facts and advice, it will be possible for you to understand the way the latest software programs work, and whether or not the benefits of doing an iPhone unlock outweigh the drawbacks.
First of all, you should know that iPhone ios 6 jailbreaking is very common nowadays. Because the best software programs get the job done faster and more efficiently than ever before, people are less reluctant to perform their own jailbreaks. "Not for free" software of this type may be well worth the minimal financial investment that it requires.
Advantages of Jailbreaking Software Programs
Performing a tethered or untethered unlock of your iPhone will allow you to:
• Enjoy third-party apps that are not approved by Apple Corp
• Run your iPhone through multiple carriers, rather than being locked in by one carrier's plan
These important benefits allow many jail breakers to get a lot more out of their snazzy new electronic toys. If you've been frustrated by your inability to enjoy apps that other smart phone owners are able to download effortlessly, it may be time to break the rules by getting your own iPhone unlocked.
Is Jail Breaking Apple's Fault?
While Apple doesn't exactly approve of the jail breaking of their popular iPhone models, such as the ios 6, the 4s, the 5 and the 3g, the powers-that-be at the company surely understand why it's happening. After all, Apple profits from every app that they license and then feature at their own official App Store.
If Apple allowed every app development entrepreneur to sell or give away their wares via the App Store, there would probably be much less jail breaking. However, Apple wants control and money, so they persist in upholding restrictions that forbid iPhone users from enjoying third-party applications.
In a sense, iPhone jail breaking is Apple's fault. That's why there is so little stigma involved with unlocking iPhones. People know that they have no choice, if they want to set up their phones according to their own specifications and preferences, rather than the preferences and specifications of Apple Corp.
If you don't have a problem with jail breaking your iPhone, why not take the plunge and get the exciting apps and carrier options that you really deserve?
Will I "Break my Phone" by Unlocking it?
If you use a good software program that gives thousands of users excellent results, you will not "break your phone". That's why choosing the right software package will be such an important part of protecting your iPhone investment.
Before making a decision about which program will give the best results for the price, check out a few software packages. Compare prices and features, as well as instructions for use, and then decide which option makes the most sense to you. As long as you stick with the most reputable, trustworthy programs (such as Absinthe and Redsnow), you should have a smooth and pleasant jail breaking experience.
Again, if you're not comfortable unlocking your iPhone ios 6 on your own, getting a tech-savvy friend or contractor to do the work for you may be a good course of action. While the instructions for using modern jail breaking software are not very complicated, they may confuse newbies who have little experience installing programs and following technical instructions. However, the makers of the best unlocking software take great pains to offer clear, simple-to-understand instructions that are designed to be almost foolproof.
To get more information about cutting-edge jail breaking software, be sure to read up on it online. A good website to visit is the Dev Team website, which features tons of fascinating and topical information about the best iPhone ios 6 unlocking software and unlocking techniques. In addition, consider visiting message boards that discuss the latest jail break software programs.
Getting Started will be Easy
If you've made the decision to jailbreak your ios 6, there's really no reason to hesitate. To get started, all that you need to do is download the unlocking software of your choice. Usually, you will need to pay to use this kind of software. After all, the people who created it worked very hard to solve the puzzle of jail breaking the high-tech iPhone ios6. However, most programs are very affordable, considering the ingenuity that went into their development. In this sense, you're getting quite a bargain.
As soon as new iPhone models are released, tech wizards begin new quests to jail break the phones. All over the Internet, iPhone owners wait for the first jail breaks. For tech gurus, jail breaking the ios 6 represented a real achievement, since Apple put plenty of energy into making this particular iPhone much harder to unlock.
By accessing one of these unlocking programs, you'll be able to jail break your iPhone with ease. Once you've done so, you'll be able to customize your smart phone to make it more functional and enjoyable. After all, the iPhone has amazing technological capabilities. That means that it's the perfect piece of hardware to use to run the most incredible and entertaining third-party apps.
Instead of watching other, non-Apple smart phone users have all of the fun, why not get your own piece of the pie? By jail breaking your iPhone today, you'll access incredible benefits for a great price, and you'll find that using your smart phone is way more fulfilling.
Is Jail Breaking Right for You?
Now that you know more about Jailbreak ios6, you'll be ready to make a smart decision about whether or not jail breaking is right for you.

[1]1. Bring food with you for the trip and the first couple of meals so you don't have to shop when you arrive.
2.Bring along any specialty foods you may have trouble finding.
3.If you are crossing the border, check what you are allowed to bring with you. Most countries are OK with dried goods, but fresh meat, fruit and vegetables can be restricted.
4.We eat most meals in our condo, and bring snacks or lunch to the hill instead of eating in the restaurants.

Another "Basic Pizza Dough" recipe ranks higher.
This is my all purpose basic pizza dough recipe. I find that this is enough to make one medium pizza crust. As a basic pizza dough, it uses white flour and SAF Instant Yeast as the primary ingredients.
"Perfect amount of dough. This will be my go to recipe from now on."
In a mixing bowl combine the Instant Yeast, 2 Cups of the flour, salt and sugar and mix.
Add the oil and slowly mix in the water (115? or so in temperature) as needed until the dough just sticks together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and silky. A good way to test this is to pull off a small piece, roll it out into a ball then flatten out into a disk. Then flatten it out and stretch it into a 'window pane' if you can get it thin enough to see light through then it is ready, if it tears, it is time to knead some more. Alternatively you can oil up the kneading hook on your favorite mixer and let it do all the hard work.
Depending on how much time you have, you can either set this in a warm spot to rise for an hour before punching down and rolling out, or you can let it sit all day in a cool location and let it rise slowly. This will give a different flavor than by the faster method!
From here you can roll the dough out and adorn in your favorite way.

What the Crusades Were Really Like (Part 2)
Thomas Madden on the Crusades and Today
ST. LOUIS, Missouri, OCT. 12, 2004 (Zenit) - Present-day tension between the West and Muslim countries has very little to do with the Crusades, says a historian.
In fact, Thomas Madden, chair of the history department at St. Louis University and author of "A Concise History of the Crusades," contends that, from the Muslim perspective, the Crusades were not worth noticing. That changed when 19th-century revisionists started to recast the Crusades as imperialist wars, he says.
Part 1 of this interview appeared Monday.
Q: Do you think the struggle between the West and the Muslim world is in any way a reaction to the Crusades?
Madden: No. That may seem a strange answer when you consider that Osama bin Laden and other Islamists often refer to Americans as "Crusaders."
It's important to remember, though, that during the Middle Ages -- really up until the late 16th century -- the superpower of the Western world was Islam. Muslim civilizations were wealthy, sophisticated and immensely powerful. The West was backward and relatively weak.
It is noteworthy that with the exception of the First Crusade virtually every other Crusade launched by the West -- and there were hundreds -- was unsuccessful.
The Crusades may have slowed Muslim expansionism, but they in no way stopped it. Muslim empires would continue to expand into Christian territories, conquering the Balkans, much of Eastern Europe and even the greatest Christian city in the world, Constantinople.
From the Muslim perspective the Crusades were not worth noticing. If you had asked someone in the Muslim world about the Crusades in the 18th century he or she would have known nothing about them. They were important to Europeans because they were massive efforts that failed.
However, during the 19th century, when Europeans began conquering and colonizing Middle Eastern countries, many historians -- in particular nationalist or royalist French writers -- began to cast the Crusades as Europe's first attempt to bring the fruits of Western civilization to the backward Muslim world. In other words, the Crusades were morphed into imperialist wars.
Those histories were taught in the colonial schools and became the accepted view in the Middle East and beyond. In the 20th century, imperialism was discredited. Islamists and some Arab nationalists then seized on the colonial construction of the Crusades, claiming that the West was responsible for their woes because they had preyed on Muslims ever since the Crusades.
It is often said that people in the Middle East have long memories; it is true. But in the case of the Crusades, they have a recovered memory: one that was manufactured for them by their European conquerors.
Q: Are there any similarities between the Crusades and the war against terror today?
Madden: Aside from the fact that soldiers in both wars want to serve something greater than themselves that they hold dear and long to return home when it is over, I see no other similarities between the medieval Crusades and the war against terror. Motivations in a post-Enlightenment secular society are very different from those in the medieval world.
Q: How are the Crusades different from Islam's jihad, or other wars of religion?
Madden: The fundamental purpose of jihad is to expand the Dar al-Islam -- the Abode of Islam -- into the Dar al-Harb -- the Abode of War. In other words, jihad is expansionistic, seeking to conquer non-Muslims and place them under Muslim rule.
Those who are then conquered are given a simple choice. For those who are not People of the Book -- in other words, those who are not Christians or Jews -- the choice is convert to Islam or die. For those who are People of the Book, the choice is submit to Muslim rule and Islamic law or die. The expansion of Islam, therefore, was directly linked to the military successes of jihad.
The Crusades were something very different. From its beginnings Christianity has always forbidden coerced conversion of any kind. Conversion by the sword, therefore, was not possible for Christianity. Unlike jihad, the purpose of the Crusades was neither to expand the Christian world nor to expand Christianity through forced conversions.
Instead, the Crusades were a direct and belated response to centuries of Muslim conquests of Christian lands. The immediate event that sparked the First Crusade was the Turkish conquest of all of Asia Minor in the 1070s through 1090s.
The First Crusade was called by Pope Urban II in 1095 in response to an urgent plea for help from the Byzantine emperor in Constantinople. Urban called the knights of Christendom to come to the aid of their Eastern brethren.
Asia Minor was Christian. ...

The unusually chill February seems to have brought with it an old adversary of mine. Not only have we black ice, sleet, slush, snow and hedge clippings along the sweeping rural back roads but most recently acres of iced dung!
Now, whilst temperatures in negative figures keep this slimy garden nutrient from attaching itself to chainstays, tyres and worse still clothing, it remains a very serious hazard.
Given the freezing conditions, I have granted the road bikes (Including the fixer) some well-earned annual leave, taking to my mile munching, load lugging, trailer tugging Univega MTB based rough stuff tourer- 1.5 semi knobblies making for a more planted feel whilst allowing me to enjoy a short cut home through the fields should fancy take me.
Returning from an early morning blast, I entered a long, sweeping descent, the big wide drops allowing me unparalleled control as I carved into the corner. Being a little crisp under tyre, I was reticent to push things beyond twenty and was in the throws of adjusting my positioning when the tyres slid across a long patch of frozen colon smoothie.
Panic set in momentarily as I battled for control. Narrowly escaping the verge by a whisper, I contemplated a change of tights before expressing my gratitude at the sight of a gentle incline. I'd had enough farmyard-ing for one ride and was pleased to find equine deposits confined to the fields on the last few miles home.

Check out this story from WNYT-Channel 13. They're reporting that a 70-year-old doctor spray painted the word "rowlow" on a bike trail overpass because the word "intrigued" him.

Apparently, the other graffiti artists in the area were to smart and fast for the Lake George police. I love it where they "charged him with graffiti and possessing graffiti paraphernalia."
I hope this isn't a new gang of successful septuagenarians in the Capital region marking their retirement territory.
Rowlow dude, Rowlow!
Wow.. The word Rowlow intrigued him? I wonder what impression Medical School made? They use alot of big words there…
Might be time to use those samples of Aricept.
Right kathy.. Prozac, Vallium .. maybe Rowlow is Dr code for something?
