Gullie: Into the Collage-a-Scope
Gullies collages are the kind that you can fully expect
to get inside your head. The artists photographic work
is renowned for skewing rational scenarios into fitful tableaux
of oddity. This time Gullie has taken his doctoring techniques
one step further to incorporate painting, digital media
and collage into images that wont necessarily give you
nightmares, but will have you pinching yourself.
A true surrealist, Gullie uses this method to express [his]
vision of the world, somewhere between reality and dreams.
Piecemeal figures stand, like characters from a Terry Gilliam
animation, in vibrant settings, often re-creating traditional
scenes like Madonna and Child in a, well, slightly untraditional
Robert Gullies show Into the Collage-a-Scope opens
tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 28) at the Clement Art Gallery (201
Broadway, Troy). A reception will be held on opening night
at 6 PM. The show runs until Dec. 24. For more information,
call 272-6811 or visit clementart.com.
neon visors, zebra-print tanktops, rollerblades, and chicks
with keytars: This is the stuff of Cobra Starship. Sure,
its really nothing more than pop-punk you can spray from
a can, cut with the brand of irony they sling at Hot Topic,
but, know what? [They] dont care if [theyre] a guilty
pleasure for you. And neither do we.
Starship are the kind of band who still get play on MTV
and actually make the channel halfway relevant in the process.
More importantly, they throw one bodacious dance party.
Rounding out their Sassyback Tour, the band will host kindred
dude-rockers Forever the Sickest Kids, Hit the Lights, and
Sing It Loud.
Bring your fannypacks to Northern Lights (1208 Route 146,
Clifton Park) on Sunday (Nov. 30) at 6 PM. Tickets are $17.

Wonderful Life
all seen that indelible, heartwarming holiday tale of an
apprentice angel who saves despairing everyman George Bailey,
by showing him how different the world would be if hed
never lived. Curling up to take in the laughter and lessons
of Frank Capras Its a Wonderful Life has become
an annual tradition for many.
This year, fans of the film can leave the living room and
take an adventure over the river and through the woods to
Pittsfield, Mass., where Barrington Stage is offering the
classic tale with a big twist. This Wonderful Life
tells the oh-so-familiar story of Its a Wonderful Life
through the energetic narration and impersonation of a single
actor who plays a man who dearly loves the Christmas classicand
all 32 of the characters who inhabit Bedford Falls.
George Bailey, Mr. Potter, Clarence, Mary, Zuzu, and all
their eccentric and engaging cohorts will be portrayed in
the Barrington Stage production by Tom Beckett, whose recent
work on and off-Broadway has earned him an Outer Critics
Circle Award and a Drama Desk Award. Now he singlehandedly
tackles an entire town. We confess, it sounds a little crazy,
but as Clarence would say, Each mans life touches so many
other lives. And that is, we suppose, the moral of the
Wonderful Life opens at Barrington Stages intimate
Stage II (VFW, 36 Linden St., Pittsfield, Mass.) on Wednesday
(Dec. 3) at 7 PM and runs through Dec. 20. Tickets are $15
to $30. For more info, or to purchase tickets, call (413)

TOPEKA, Kan. -- A sperm donor in Kansas is fighting a state
effort to force him to pay child support for a child conceived through
artificial insemination by a lesbian couple.
William Marotta told The Topeka Capital-Journal he's "a little scared
about where this is going to go, primarily for financial reasons."
he donated sperm to Angela Bauer and Jennifer Schreiner in 2009,
Marotta relinquished all parental rights, including financial
responsibility to the child. When Bauer and Schreiner filed for state
assistance this year, the state demanded the donor's name so it could
collect child support for the now 3-year-old girl.
The state
contends the agreement between Marotta and the women is not valid
because Kansas law requires a licensed physician to perform artificial

Daily link roundup: Ochocinco on the move
– The big signing of yesterday was Chad Ochocinco to the Patriots. "I like Chad," Bill Belichick said before last year's season opener between the teams. "An odd couple, but in the end I think we have a lot of things in common." Can two eccentric men share the field without driving each other crazy? Duh duh dun dun duh duhhhh.
– Kevin Kolb will helm the Cardinals, after being traded by the Eagles for CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second round pick in 2012. Luckily for Kolb, there are no Mike Vicks on that roster, so he can finally sleep easy at night.
– In other Eagles news, resident prima donna DeSean Jackson failed to report to camp yesterday, "signaling the start of a holdout." Unless he was abducted by aliens!
– The Titans cut Vince Young yesterday. I give it … 12 more hours before the Raiders come calling.
– The Chargers' five-year, $40 million contact with Eric Weddle will make him the highest-paid safety in the league. But he is not the most hardest hitting (NSFW because it's too awesome language).
– SF stalwart Joe Nedney is set to retire today. He'll be replaced by David Akers. Who will probably retire next year.
– When the Niners signed Jeremiah Masoli, I thought it was a bad idea. Now that we've learned he's been converted to running back, I'm sure it's a bad idea.
– The Raiders have a new cheerleader. She's 37 and a grandmother. I don't even know what is most disturbing about this story: that she has a grandchild at 37 years of age or that she looks like she's at least 48.
– Vikings punter Chris Kluwe has been delightful on Twitter lately, calling respected players douchebags and generally not giving a shit. Now, he's issued an ultimatum to soon-to-be teammate Donovan McNabb. If McNabb wants the No. 5 jersey (currently in Kluwe's possession), he must mention the name of Kluwe's punk rock band fives times this season. "Our offensive was absolutely driving today, just like the bass in Tripping Icarus."
– If you read real news, you know that many European banks are in the absolute crapper. Spain is one of them. Now, in desperate need of capital, Bankia is seeking to again become solvent by … using Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka as collateral. They could charge admission to let millions of screaming girls view Ronaldo in a bank vault!
– From the men who brought you such classics as 'Double Rainbow' and the 'Bed Intruder Song,' here is a wacky ass NASCAR prayer in song.

Insane Clown Posse (ft. Danny Brown)
"When I'm Clownin"
It's officially August, folks, and you know what that means: we're less than a week away from the 14th-annual Gathering of the Juggalos! TMT was unable to secure a press pass for the five-day extravaganza, so don't hold your breath for any Katelyn Eichwald renditions of the Faygo geysers. What we do have, however, is ICP's new clip for "When I'm Clownin." Our more squeamish readers might be pleased to know that there's nary a speck of gore to be found in this video: just a horde of funny, friendly clowns, including the always-amusing Danny Brown. Watch in amazement as Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope cavort against a dizzying suite of backdrops that include circus-y spirals, day-glo stripes, and balloons; with all the nose honks and giggles and whimsical zoomed-in camera angles, you'll probably find yourself scratching your head and wondering how exactly these guys were labelled gang leaders by the FBI. Of course, Danny Brown is down with the clown, so it's only fitting that he spit his verse in a Hatchet man t-shirt, surrounded by fire spinners. Coming from the infamous ringleaders of the Dark Carnival, this sideshow scans super silly — but hey, even horrorcore's gotta get happy sometimes.

The deep slowburn practically belongs to inc. these days, so their new video for no world ember "angel" comes as little surprise. Why adorn one of the most spartan gems of the year? Zone.
Much else has happened with inc. since we last spoke, including this surprisingly huge flip of "5 days" by the recently self-reinvented Skream.

The Trying
"Ghostly Manipulator, Stillborn Marionette"
Get that attic dance party pumpin'. Everyone is invited 'cause there's always a flow to fuck with, right? Crazy bounce-out transitions into a variety of genres storming your party-going, beer-can-crush diet. Either you're grinding to that heavy electronic neon-lit shadow dance, cast upon the insulation stapled to the wall, raging on a breakdown, metal bent and booze raining on a crowd of fists pumping, or freaking to a trailed beat-bit popped-out sermon: this is out there. People are right now 'bout to light the roof off an abandoned farmhouse, dance in flame, and worshiparty into the night. It's not about the fear or the freedom, but about feeling it all. Conveniently, it's raining, and soot, blood, beer, and Earth wash off you, as sparks ignite from musical equipment surging. "Look out!" is yelled as you're still dancing, and the explosion that just set off has hurled a 4x4 truck your way and… "I'd be better off without me" continues into reality.
"Ghostly Manipulator, Stillborn Marionette" is off The Trying's Suicide Pact demo, found digitally below. But for a party like that, you gotta keep looking (or contact The Trying through his Bandcamp page below — hi)!
• The Trying: http://thetrying.bandcamp.com
According to the bio on Ekha, "Each song [from their debut album BCWTIOT] has been named for a friend that influenced the record physically, emotionally or spiritually." Judging from the words and sounds of their first single, as well as the visuals presented by its accompanying video, one might guess that their buddy Ahsanullah is quite the character.
He/she is a ball of energy, loves to dance, looks ahead with great anticipation, always keeps it moving, and might actually be able to fly given the right combination of club drugs and weather conditions. On the other hand, he/she can be very introspective, deals in abstractions, pays close attention to detail, breaks things down to build them up again, and is capable of destroying anything in his/her path, especially gnomes, hourglasses, piñatas, and TV sets. He/she gets the party started, but is often first to leave. Or maybe he's just the ghost of this guy.
We don't know for sure, but what we do know is that Ekha is OneLoudBellow founder and jazz/soul singer Thimali Kodikara; Daylight Curfew founder and former Def Jux marketing director DJ Jad1 (a.k.a. Cassettes Won't Listen a.k.a. DFalt); and multi-disciplinary designer/producer Devang Shah. And if after absorbing the audio-aesthetics below you've got the hankering for some more songs inspired by their friends, you can stream the rest of BCWTIOT on SoundCloud and/or cop it here.

LAMPGOD & **Ł_RD//$M$ has just dropped the nastiest mixtape of the year. Titled ??LAMPGOD??**Ł_RD//$M$??**$$EXT8PE??, the mixtape is a sticky mess of chopped & screwed beats from deep between your warm thighs, a libidinous balm of looped sex jams running through SP samplers and tape-hiss aromas mixing with heat-wave body vapor in one ecstatic fidelity orgy.
The best part? This mixtape comes with a sextape! Musically, the mixtape is more engaging (and twice as long), but the "sextape" tugs out the latent sexuality of the music with blowjobs aplenty — in vehicles, hanging from cliffs, under water, at the gym, etc. At one point, we see a girl masturbating with her shades (for the SPF?). At another point, we watch someone eating Chinese takeout while watching porn (Cream of Sum Yung Gai?). At still another point, we're watching someone film someone watching porn while he himself is filming and watching the porn through his cellphone (??). These sequences are combined with scenes from movies (Robocop, Enter the Dragon), random clips (skateboarders, Keith Sweat tattoo, Snoop Dogg, terrible misogynist standup), and other moments of self-indulgence, hedonism, and consumption that ensure that this particular sextape is more a jumbled, sensorial collage of signifiers than a treatment for your lust.
Check out the SFW mixtape and NSFW sextape directly below.
??LAMPGOD??**Ł_RD//$M$??**$$EXT8PE?? is available for $10 at Bootleg Tapes' Bandcamp, but you can also purchase the mixtape and sextape as a cassette/VHS combo for $20.

Henry Plotnick
"Live at The Other Cinema"
So, I get this email out of nowhere one day earlier this month, and it's from John, the fellah at the label Holy Mountain. He presented me with this new album by Henry Plotnick called Fields, which came out July 9 (so I'm late to the game — EEK!), and gave me a mini rundown of the music and the musician's background. Now, John requested not to make a big deal about it, but Henry Plotnick is 11 years old, and I just can't help to not make a big deal about raw talent. I don't mean raw in an improvisational or gritty way, but raw as in natural and new. It's so interesting to see such fresh youth tearing down what adults practice hours and hours to achieve. The kid has jest and gumption and zest, and it's noticeable in the music. It doesn't sound crayoned or angsty, voice crackled or fashionable. It sounds pleasant and patient, with hints of "All that yes, Ima pour a warm bath and take a nap." Which seems like an interesting pride in modern parenting.
So, sorry, John. I had to be a booger about Henry's age. But Henry, you got people going "WOO!" and it ain't 'cause the music is racy or egoing out; it's 'cause you got that inborn ability to patiently compose. Good enough to bounce a double LP out on Holy Mountain? Yes.

Mrs. Chase in Prospect Park, 1886
William Merritt Chase (American, 1849–1916)
Oil on panel; 13 3/4 x 19 5/8 in. (34.9 x 49.9 cm)
The Chester Dale Collection, Bequest of Chester Dale, 1962 (63.138.2)
Chase had met Alice Gerson (1866–1927), whose father managed a lithography firm, in 1879 or 1880. He painted her and her sister several times during the early 1880s, and married her in February 1887. Chase and his new wife moved to his parents' house in Brooklyn, and it was at this time that he first painted park scenes. Here, his broad strokes and emphasis on reflected light recall Claude Monet's paintings of Argenteuil, but his palette is more restrained than that of the French Impressionists. The painter J. Carroll Beckwith, to whom Chase dedicated this sketch, taught with him at the Art Students League.

Five-time Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh, known for Shakespearean movies such as "Henry V" and directing "Thor," is trying his hand at a fairy tale with Disney's live-action update of "Cinderella."
The coming movie, directed by Branagh and co-starring Lily James and Cate Blanchett, opens on March 13. Branagh stopped by the WSJ Café to talk to "Lunch Break" host Tanya Rivero and WSJ senior editor Christopher John Farley about directing "Cinderella," Cinderella's connections to Shakespeare and Gandhi, and the controversy over her purportedly tiny waist.

Hi guys,
I'm off to cycle the Southern Tier in November, from East to West.
I'll be using ACA maps, but won't be able to see one in the flesh until literally arriving in the States. So I wondered if anyone who has done it could help with a few questions:
Are bike shops fairly close by, or should I consider taking significant spares / tools?
Has anyone ever got across purely (or mainly) wild camping? What's access to subtle sites like? Do ACA maps help with locating any?
Is it likely that there'll be a lot of other cyclist doing the route at this time of year?
Security / safety-wise, are there any specific places along the route that feel unusually dodgy / sketchy?
Long time reader first time poster, thanks for such a great resource.

Bucky Chance leaves his boat empty at the dock once a week to drive to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources service center in order to secure another 50 oyster tags.
Watermen can normally get as many tags as they need, but this year's larger-than-normal harvest and insertion of 300 new watermen have forced DNR to ration oyster tags to prevent completely running out.
"They've made it a law we have to tag every bushel, then they very quickly ran out of tags," said Chance, president of the Talbot County Watermen's Association and a board member of the Maryland Watermen's Association. ...

A Spanish court official said Monday July 29, 2013 that judicial police would soon begin extracting information from the "black box" of a train that crashed last week killing 79 people and injuring some 130 in the country's worst train accident in decades. It is hoped the box might establish what happened in the final seconds prior to the crash. The investigation has increasingly focused on why the driver failed to brake in time to stop the train from hurtling into a dangerous curve, where it careered off the tracks and slammed into a concrete wall. On Monday, Spain's royal family and leading politicians were to attend a somber Mass in homage to the victims killed and injured. (AP Photo/Lalo R, Villar, File)

At the Washington Post, Jen Rubin writes of a renewed interest in compassionate conservatism, citing Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute, Republican Paul Ryan, and Gertrude Himmelfarb, writing in THE WEEKLY STANDARD. Here's Rubin:
Three people do not a mass movement make. But when the three are the American Enterprise Institute's Arthur Brooks, the renowned scholar Gertrude Himmelfarb and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), it is enough or should be enough of a trend to make conservatives perk up. Each in their own way is making the case that conservatism has become too aseptic, too abstract and too divorced from the real lives of real people....
Conservatives recoiled at the term compassionate conservatism because they were offended that regular ole conservatism was being labeled uncompassionate. But that is a failure of their own making, an accountant style of conservatism that speaks as if free markets and not people are the objects of affection. Free markets are a vehicle, not an end in itself to the emancipation of individuals and to their self-expression.
Now comes along Himmelfarb (actually she has been turning out brilliant scholarship for decades) to wrap it up in a bow and present it to a movement surely in need of some scene setting: "Above all, what conservatives can do, and what Ryan and others are now trying to do, is to recapture compassion from the liberals, de-sentimentalizing while reaffirming it. Properly understood (as Tocqueville would say), compassion is a preeminently conservative virtue. It dignifies the individual (the donor of charity as well as the recipient); it thrives in a free and sound economy where the individual can "better himself"; it nurtures a spirit of independence rather than fostering the dependency that is too often the result of misguided entitlements; and it finds expression and fulfillment in civil society more often than in government. This is not to deny the validity or utility of safety nets and entitlements in principle, only to define and limit them in practice. Nor is it to deny any role to government, only, again, to define that role more precisely and to limit it more severely."
After all, conservatism is a political theory, or more properly, a disposition, not pure economics or quantum mechanics. Unless grounded substantively and rhetorically in the needs and aspirations of real people it becomes sterile and irrelevant. Why do conservatives want to reform entitlements? Not merely to balance the books or return to "limited government" but to preserve opportunity for ourselves and our children, allow a thriving economy that provides jobs (and the dignity and prosperity that go with employment) and maintain a strong safety net for those who cannot take care of themselves.
And here's a snippet of Himmelfarb's essay in the latest issue of TWS:
It may also be helpful to put that word and idea in historical perspective, to recall its lineage and something of its history—most pertinently in modern times. "To compassionate, i.e., to join with in passion," the Earl of Shaftesbury wrote early in the 18th century, " . . . to commiserate, i.e., to join with in misery. . . . This in one order of life is right and good; nothing more harmonious; and to be without this, or not to feel this, is unnatural, horrid, immane [inhuman]." Half a century later Adam Smith, inThe Theory of Moral Sentiments, distinguished between sympathy and compassion, sympathy being the "fellow-feeling" of all men for each other, compassion the "fellow-feeling" for the "sorrow" of others. "Sympathy" and "compassion," "moral sense" and "moral sentiments," "social affections" and "social virtues"—these are the terms that dominated social and philosophical discourse and gave a unique character to the British Enlightenment.
This is also the moral philosophy that distinguishes Smith's political economy from the prevailing mercantilist doctrine. The Wealth of Nations moralizes the economy even as it liberalizes and liberates it from the government and the state. So, too, the people are moralized. The working classes, including the very poor, are said to share a common human nature with their employers and social superiors. They are driven by the same instinct, "the propensity to truck, barter, and exchange"; they have the same motive, to "better themselves"; and they enjoy the same benefits of a thriving economy, a "universal opulence which extends itself to the lowest ranks of the people." Indeed, the difference between "a philosopher and a common street porter," Smith declares, comes "not so much from nature, as from habit, custom, and education."

Utility workers are putting in 16-hour shifts fixing ruptured, cracked or frozen water pipes in the Wausau area - an annual problem compounded this winter by unusually frigid weather.
More than 45 days of subzero temperatures since late December have taken a toll on water systems - freezing pipes in Wausau, Weston and surrounding communities. Kimberly Oliva, who lives on South 14th Avenue, is one of about 300 Wausau residents who have struggled with frozen pipes in recent weeks. Oliva, 32, left her home Saturday morning; when she returned 24 hours later, she found her water pipes had frozen.

August is known to star gazers as Meteor Month.
Friday night is peak viewing for the Perseid Meteor shower, but we think some of you have already noticed it going on.
Good Question-Debbie, Lexington: On Saturday several of us saw a red light in the sky, then another popped up behind them and they seemed to be coming out of the Western sky. Does anyone have any idea what they were?
Its been a called a dazzling flurry of shooting stars, the annual Perseid meteor shower has been observed now for 2,000 thousand years.
There are thousands of images captured of it when it lights up the sky.
What Debbie saw this past weekend was most likely part of the meteor shower.
Observers in the Northern Hemisphere can begin seeing the shower as early as July.
Its peak though, will be Friday night from about 11 into early Saturday morning, but there is a catch its going to be a full moon and that might hamper viewing.
The Perseid shower is actually left over debris from the comet Swift Tuttle, meteors are produced when dust grains hit the earth's atmosphere, the result a spectacular display.
Many times during its peak a shower will produce between 50 and 60 meteors and hour.
If you miss this one, the next chance to see a meteor shower is October 21st when the Draconids light make a spectacle in the sky.

Protecting People with Technology: Modernizing U.N. Peacekeeping
|Wednesday, May 29, 2013
As U.N. peace operations are asked and expected to do more in increasingly complex and dangerous environments, this discussion with Dr. Walter Dorn, professor of defence studies at the Royal Military College of Canada and the Canadian Forces College, explored the challenges and opportunities of leveraging a broad spectrum of technologies to enable U.N. peace operations to more effectively and safely protect civilians. Sarah Williamson, managing director of Protect the People, served as moderator.
Here's a clip from the event:

Dorn has also taught at the Pearson Centre and as a visiting professional in the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. He has served with the United Nations Mission in East Timor, the United Nations in Ethiopia, at U.N. headquarters as a training adviser and as a consultant with the U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations. His book "Keeping Watch: Monitoring, Technology, and Innovation in UN Peace Operations" was published in 2011 by U.N. University Press.

What am I going to do with all of these leftover mashed potatoes (said no one ever!)?
Make waffles!
How is there a solution to a problem that isn't really a problem at all? I'd eat mashed potatoes straight out of the fridge with a serving spoon. Maybe I'd put mustard and pickles on the cold mashed potatoes. That either makes me super gross or kinda genius. Most likely somewhere in between.
I've been daydreaming this waffle situation for a few weeks now. It's mostly about the transformation of carbs. There's a formula: transform carb, add cheese, melt, sprinkle chives. This works for any baked potato, nacho, and pizza happening. Look how smart we are.
Ps. I figured out what you're doing this weekend. Waffles.
It should go without saying that Mashed Potato Waffles start with mashed potatoes.
Since I don't often have mashed potatoes lingering in my refrigerator, I made some from scratch just for this waffle occasion.
We're mixing out mashed potatoes with browned butter, garlic powder, egg, and buttermilk. Flour, too. Just a bit.
These mashed potatoes have some skins mixed in. It's cool to keep things rustic.
These mashed potatoes are also seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, a bit of butter, and milk. I like to make things taste good before I mix them with other things that taste good. Ya know?
A few chives and a little mix.
The batter has a few potato chunks. Perfect. I like to cook the waffles so they bake up as slightly uneven rounds. Cheese comes in after the waffles are baked in the iron. Yessss….
My parents gave me this waffle iron for my birthday last year, and I quite like it a lot.
It's time to crank the broiler!
I topped the waffles with cheese. I'm going to melt it because that's just what feels right.
Let's talk about these waffles… as if we haven't talked about them enough.
They bake soft and solid. There's also a surprising lightness to the waffles. I like to cool the waffles on a wire rack, because that keeps them from being soggy as they sit and cool. A little time in the oven also helps to crisp the waffles, melt the cheese, and make things that much more enticing. Serve with fried eggs and/or salsa? Good idea.
Mashed Potato meets Waffle! Let's lifestyle it.
Mashed Potato, Cheddar and Chive Waffles
serves 4
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 cups mashed potatoes
3 tablespoons chopped chives
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. As the butter melts it will begin to crackle and pop. That's the water evaporating out of the butter. Continue to cook the butter until the crackling subsides and the butter begins to brown a bit. The butter will smell nutty. Immediately transfer the browned butter into a medium bowl. Whisk in buttermilk and eggs until thoroughly combined. Add the mashed potatoes and 2 tablespoons chives and gently stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Use a spoon to mix until all of the flour is thoroughly combined. Try not to overmix the batter. Just stir it until the flour is combined.
Heat a waffle iron and grease if necessary.
Dollop batter (about 1/4 cup per waffle) into the waffle iron. Cook until golden on each side. The amount of time depends on your waffle iron. Remove waffles from the iron and place on a cooling rack to rest. The cooling rack will keep the waffles from getting soggy on the bottom as they cool.
Just before serving the waffles, turn oven to the broiler setting. Place waffles on a baking sheet and top with cheddar cheese. Place waffles under the broiler until cheese is melted, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with remaining chives and serve warm (with salsa is delicious!).

Let's talk about how these are kind of perfect for a party. Also, let's talk about creating a mashed potato bar with a waffle maker as a centerpiece. YES.
I like the way you think!
Yes! I'm hosting a waffle party next week. I think everybody would looove to have these cheese potato waffles. Great timing, Joy.
Oh, heck yes! We have a waffle restaurant very close to my place in Toronto and my FAVOURITE of all time are loaded baked potato waffles. Having a recipe to make them at home could be very, very dangerous!
Whoa. These sound brilliant!
Ha, your going to slowly kill me with these wonderfully delicious high carb recipes!! I can just taste them right now. I want them right now!
Pure genius! These waffled ones and adding pickles and mustard to cold ones! Hey, do you ever make potato pancakes using leftover Thanksgiving potatoes, because that is the only time there's any in my house? I've tried and tried to make them like my grandmother winged it but they always fall apart in the pan.
My grandma too! Flour and egg mixed into the mashed potato base. Don't make them "too loose" she would always say. Heat butter or oil or a combo in a NON STICK pan…only works when frying polenta too.
I grew up eating fried mashed potatoes. There are three secrets to success: first, a generous amount of butter in the pan. Next, don't be in a hurry to turn them over and when you do, do it with confidence (as julia child would say) and last, when you do flip them, have a super thin spatula (think silicone) to do it with.
Oh Joy-you are a genius! I mean waffles with maple syrup are divine, but this? Hmmm.
Off to buy a waffle iron…
Oh my goodness, these look fantastic. Our local pub serves 'Irish Nachos' (nachos on potatoes?), which are great but, alas, processed. These would be a fantastic alternative, cheaper and, actually, yummier by the looks of it.
You are a great fortune teller, you predicted my weekend perfectly!
are you kidding me!!!!
i'm dead.
Oh….oh I can't even…yeah….hold me.
Potatoes are quite possibly one of the tastiest carbs ever. There is no question that these are my kind of waffles!
your writing always leaves me trying to stifle laughs at my desk. turning mashed potatoes into cheesy waffles (with brown butter!) is just the evil genius that makes me take an early lunch because my stomach is growling.
WHOA. These look incredible. Just love that first photo! I had to do a double-take because I posted savory cornbread pancakes with chives today. These waffles are calling my name and should probably be eaten together with the pancakes. :)
I am thinking you can elevate these to fancy dinner for one by turning it to waffle welsh rarebit. My mind is always on cheese and these are perfect!
waffles like that need a nice Riesling!

|Scintigraphic parameters with emphasis on perfusion appraisal in rest 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT in the recovery of myocardial function after thrombolytic therapy in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21593086 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|INTRODUCTION: This study was performed to determine the clinical application of rest 99mTc-sestamibi in the assessment of viability and functional improvement of the left ventricle (LV) myocardium in the post-thrombolytic therapy of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In 37 patients with AMI who received thrombolytic therapy, 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiography, as well as the resting redistribution of 99mTc-sestamibi, was investigated, both within 1 week and 3-5 months after AMI. The predictive capacity of the perfusion percentage for myocardial function recovery was evaluated. Also, the capacities of the possible variables in the prediction of recovery of myocardial function resulting from a change in LV ejection fraction (EF) were evaluated using stepwise multiple regression analysis.
RESULTS: Thirty-seven patients (30 men and 7 women; mean age: 58±14 years) with AMI were enrolled in the study. Redistribution was observed in 35 and 50 segments of the initial and follow-up scans, respectively. In addition, 146 segments with reverse redistribution (RR), both in the initial scan (118 segments) and the follow-up scan (86 segments), were also observed. An apparent difference in wall motion scores was seen between the initial and follow-up echocardiographs (p<0.001). Furthermore, using the optimal cut-off point of perfusion percentage in each image set, sensitivity as well as specificity and likelihood ratio (LR) for the improvement of regional wall motion after 3-5 months were defined.
CONCLUSION: These data showed that redistribution and reverse redistribution of 99mTc-sestamibi post thrombolytic therapy can be used as a marker of viability to predict the recovery of segmental wall motion abnormality (stunning), as well as the improvement of segmental perfusion uptake. This study also demonstrates that the resting 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT can be used for an approximate assessment of LV function status and can predict the recovery of jeopardized myocardium function after thrombolytic therapy.

superintendent appointment
Based on what I read in the Bedford Bulletin I find myself in the minority in siding with Talbot Huff who recently resigned from the Bedford County school board and Shirley McCabe who cast the only descending vote.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides in part that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...". Protecting citizens' rights to voice their opinions and ideas was so important to our Founding Fathers that they listed the freedom of the press in the First Amendment to the Constitution, along with the freedom of religion, the freedom to peaceably assemble, and the freedom to petition our government.
The Obama administration sent a clear signal last week that science, not a mixture of religion and conservative political ideology, will be its guide in all matters of public policy.
The president signed an executive order that reversed Bush administration rules on embryonic stem cell research, opening the way for more federal dollars to be used on activities that could lead to new methods of treatments for Parkinson's Disease, diabetes, spinal cord injuries and other ailments.
The International Criminal Court charged Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir with crimes against humanity on March 4.
While some people are applauding this action, all the evidence so far is that this action by this "court" is a farce. Al-Bashir reacted by expelling 13 aid agencies from Darfur. Other African leaders reacted by rallying around him.
Al-Bashir continues to rule Sudan and live in luxury.
Sometimes perception is more important than reality. That very well may be the case in the compensation package being proposed for the Dr. Douglas Schuch, the Bedford County School Board's choice as its new superintendent.
Bouncing checks
Written to Senator Mark Warner, Virginia
This last week President Barack Obama hosted a forum on health care at the White House. The forum included Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle, representatives from the health care industry including various medical specialties, hospitals, doctors, nurses and technicians, the health insurance industry, the business community and most importantly patients, the health care consumers who must be the focus of this process. I am encouraged by the fact that so many individuals representing such diverse interests were able to come together to discuss the goal of providing
All Washington was abuzz last week over the dust-up between new GOP national chair Michael Steele and Rush Limbaugh, the self-styled king of right-wing talk radio.
The only thing larger than Limbaugh's ego is his religious devotion to conservatism. He showed that this passion means far more to him than even the fate of his country when he stated that he hopes Barack Obama fails.

I heard these days anybody who is anybody writes a blog.
Well, I'm pretty important on my patch so I thought it was high time I got in on the act.
My name is Benson. I am a black cat and I live in a nursing home - have done for several years now. I used to be a stray but I found life was a bit tough and thought it was time I got a place of my own and settled down. I like lots of space so I picked out a large building with plenty of beds to choose from. It's always kept nice and warm in the building for me too which is ideal – especially in the winter time. I have a lovely large garden too, lots of grass, huge trees complete with squirrels and birds galore. Most of the people there are friendly although there are one or two I'm not especially keen on. All in all I figure I've done pretty well for myself.
Well today it rained ALL day – never stopped. I had to go out once or twice but I'll tell you, I didn't hang around. I was soaked! Luckily, I have a lovely spot in the dining room to dry off. I like to sit on the heater by the window. Ooh warm as toast and I can keep an eye on who is coming and going at the same time. After I'd dried off I went and curled up on one of the dining chairs, tucked under the table. No one knows I'm there cos I'm hidden by the table cloth. After a few hours resting I went on patrol around the building – I check for mice – that's my job. I don't usually find any so occasionally I have to catch one outside and sneak it in and pretend I caught it inside. No one has a clue. They are so gullible, you know.
Right, the night staff are in now so I should be getting my supper any minute. Not sure if I'm going to go out tonight yet – it depends on the weather. Tut, it's still raining at the mo. I'M NOT GOING OUT IN THAT!

Five Ways to Tell Someone is a Hipster
Hipsters are an elusive breed. Here is how to find them.
They utilize technology that is since obsolete. If this person uses fax machines, beepers, or anything else that nobody uses anymore because it's "ironic", he or she may be a hipster. Other examples of this are: watches from the 70s, enormous '80s era computers, '90s brick cell phones, or anything else that nobody in their right mind would actually want to use. They most likely smoke tons of cigarettes, usually dark-colored ones that have herbs in them, or other bizarre things like that.
Image by compujeramey via Flickr
This is a good example of the kind of phone a hipster would have, solely for the purpose of irony.
They were glasses they don't need, and plaid shirts- Hipsters like wearing glasses because it's ironic. What could be more ironic than wearing glasses you don't need? Hipsters wear glasses that are not perscription. Even better, a lot of these glasses have no lenses at all. They are often large and unattractive glasses but they tend to work with the hipster's entire "look"
They wear pants that are too short with obvious socks- Hipster men enjoy wearing ill-fitting pants, especially if paired with bright or striped socks. In their culture, this is fashionable. They are also commonly seen wearing weird shoes, like beaten-up penny loafers.
Image via Wikipedia
They make literary references that make you feel dumb- Hipsters enjoy making other people feel stupid by spewing pointless information they learned in their 11th grade AP English class. Just mention something about David Mamet's plays being pointless and post modern and hopefully they'll shut up. (See? Now I'm doing it too.)
They never call themselves hipsters or make hipster jokes- Hipsters don't admit to being hipsters, which is why they hate hipster jokes so much. If they laugh, they're betraying their own kind, but if they oppose the joke, they are revealing their true identity as a hipster. Make a hipster joke in front of a hipster and see how the hipster reacts.

Federal economic stimulus aid has created 2,130 transportation construction jobs in Minnesota so far this year, and the program is on track to produce a projected 12,500 jobs over the program's two-year lifespan, state and federal officials said in a progress report Wednesday.
While the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that President Barack Obama signed into law Feb. 17 has not sparked as many groundbreaking ceremonies as many expected, it has delivered the jobs promised for highway and transit projects, U.S. Rep. Jim Oberstar, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said during a speech Wednesday at the University of Minnesota Humphrey Institute.
"This part of the recovery act is working," said Oberstar, a Democrat from Chisholm, Minn. "It's not bogged down by paperwork and red tape."
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has committed $350 million of the $502 million in stimulus aid the state will receive for roads and bridges, John Chiglo, MnDOT's stimulus construction manager, said later during a state Capitol news conference. The state also will receive $92 million for bus and rail transit projects.
Overall, the state Management and Budget Department expects Minnesota to receive at least $1.8 billion in stimulus aid for all programs.
MnDOT has easily met the federal requirement that half the state's federal highway dollars be committed to projects within 120 days of the law's enactment, Oberstar and Chiglo said.
All 50 states met that deadline, Oberstar said, but some have been slow to start construction. "Minnesota is in the middle of the pack, maybe a little ahead," he said.
Under the stimulus program, which is an addition to its regular construction schedule, MnDOT is seeking bids on 98 road and bridge projects and has signed contracts for 54 construction projects costing $275 million, Chiglo said. The department will complete the bidding process by late November.
By Oberstar's count, work has begun on 34 projects in the state, and four have been completed.
They aren't big, flashy projects, said state House Transportation Committee Chairman Bernie Lieder, DFL-Crookston. But they're making travel safer by repairing roads, bridges and shoulders, replacing guardrails and making other safety improvements, Lieder said.
Across the country, Oberstar said, transportation stimulus money will create jobs for about 250,000 of the 1.6 million laid-off construction workers by Labor Day.
The stimulus package is just a short-term fix, he said. The long-term solution is the six-year, $450 billion transportation overhaul bill that he's carrying in the House.
"It truly would be a new start for transportation," Oberstar said.
It would better coordinate all modes of transportation and streamline delivery of projects, he said. The Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis that collapsed two years ago was rebuilt in 437 days, and "we need to do that nationwide," he said.
Public officials have spent $25 million and 30 years discussing the Stillwater Bridge, "and there's still no bridge," he said. A revamped transportation department would expedite those projects.
Likewise, the Central Corridor light-rail project linking St. Paul and Minneapolis. Urban passenger rail projects "now take 14 years from idea to ridership. That's ridiculous," he said. He would compress it to three years.
"Now comes the hard part: How to pay for it," he said.
He favors indexing the federal gas tax to the rising cost of construction materials, but Obama and his advisers oppose that idea.
"The 'yes we can,' 'change you can believe in' White House ran for cover," he said.
Other funding options include bonding for roads and bridges and repaying the loans when the recession ends and imposing fees on oil speculators.
Oberstar expects stakeholders in the debate, including business, labor and the construction and trucking industries, to reach a consensus on a funding source by the end of the month.
A subcommittee approved his bill last week. He expects the full committee to pass it right after Labor Day and the House to vote on it by mid-September.
The White House wants to delay action on a transportation bill for 18 months, but Oberstar predicted they would drop their resistance when they see strong House support for action this fall.
"The administration is either going to come along or we're going to roll them over," he said with a confident smile.

The Educator's Choice for Classroom and Professional Development Resources
In recent years changes to the education landscape in the United States have made co-teaching more relevant and popular than ever before. From federal education laws that raise academic standards, to professional accountability for student outcomes, to mandated access to the curriculum for all students, co-teaching is an approach that can help schools meet today's requirements and standards, and help all students succeed.
This second edition of the training video The Power of 2 provides a comprehensive look at co-teaching as part of the foundation of an inclusive and collaborative school. The two-disk program features clear and detailed demonstrations of six co-teaching arrangements that make up the heart of the program. Educators with significant co-teaching experience share their experience and advice on making co-teaching work for districts, teachers and students.
The Power of 2 is an invaluable training resource for educators-- from first-year teachers to those with extensive experience, and from elementary to high school teachers/administrators—that shows them how to collaborate effectively and utilize their knowledge and skills in order to help their students maximize their potential.

A Long Way From Dullsville
Names on the Land
By George R. Stewart
New York Review Books, 511 pages, $19.95
George R. Stewart (1895-1980), midcentury novelist and co-founder of the American Name Society, gave onomastics a good name with his classic "Names on the Land" (1945), a learned and rollicking act of patriotic toponymy. Its republication, with a graceful introduction by Matt Weiland, is a welcome reminder that the polyglot medley on our maps is, as Mr. Stewart says, "a chief glory of our heritage."
The Spaniards were partial to the saints on whose day a discovery took place, thus the San Diegos and Santa Barbaras of the Pacific Coast. "California," however, was derived from a decidedly unsaintly fictive ruler -- the so-called Queen Califia -- whose women subjects lived without men "except when men were brought in to do what must be done if any land is to be peopled."
To the Dutch we owe Breede Wegh, Breukelen and Haerlem, whose New York City legacies the reader can sound out. The French, borrowing from the Algonquian language, gave us Chicago ("onion-place") and Mississippi ("big river"). The first English names on the Atlantic Coast were Virginia and Cape Fear, though neither virginity nor fear "was a commodity held in much repute among those sea-dogs," Mr. Stewart remarks.
The early English explorer Gabriel Archer expressed his soft side by planting such names as Kind Woman's Care and Queen's Bower in the New World. They didn't take, for as Mr. Stewart asks: "What man with a beard could say such finespun silken terms without cursing afterwards to clear his mouth?"
The prissy English exasperate Mr. Stewart. Exhaling good old inland American Anglophobia, he mocks "those periwigged lords of London, who wore their laces and took their snuff and kept their mistresses" and lent their own names to Bedford, Halifax, Pelham and the like. "What most of them ever did for the colonies to deserve so much as the naming of an out-house would be difficult to discover."

Mr. Stewart has an American anarchist soul. The rigid and unimaginative naming policy of the colonial Massachusetts General Court, which ordered Contentment changed to Dedham, irritates him; he much prefers the whimsy of Virginia, which "had no policy or system of naming, so that their names from the beginning grew more naturally, and were more adapted to the country."
His favorite state is Connecticut ("no one knows who first put in the extra c, or why"), whose name-givers were "stiff-necked, eccentric, and provincial," which he properly means as high praise. The Nutmeg State was a trail-blazer in borrowing from the Bible (Canaan, Bethlehem) and minting clumsy compounds (Voluntown, Harwinton).
As Americans followed the western star, they carried their names. "Washington" would become the greatest of American appellations, given to more than 30 counties and 120 cities and villages. A state, too, via what Mr. Stewart calls "one of the most unfortunate events of our naming-history." In 1853, Congress rejected "Columbia" as the designation for the territory north of Oregon and imposed upon that outpost "Washington," which duplicated the nation's capital and forced the "frequent and tiresome" distinctions of Washington State and Washington, D.C.
The post-Founding states often took their Indian-spawned titles from rivers -- Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas. This last-named is the only state whose spelling and pronunciation became "a major issue." It was born Arkansaw in 1819, but as the years went by the educated classes substituted a concluding "s." The new spelling took, and in 1880 the state legislature considered the matter of whether the ending was sibilant. In a rousing display of "the extraordinary power of local pride," the plain people of the hills, assisted by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, won the day for the pronunciation "-saw."
The "longest discussion of names ever to occur on the floor of Congress" was over Wyoming, which came from a term for "big flats" used by the Delaware Indians of the New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania region. One proposed name, "Cheyenne," was clearly the more apt choice for this state, but it was objected in the U.S. Senate that Cheyenne sounded like the French for "female dog," and so the legislators opted for the "rootless artificiality" of a word used by Indians who never set foot in Wyoming.
At the town level, successive fads dappled the land with diverse names. The classical revival of the late 18th century left upstate New York awash in Rome and Cato and Camillus; later the suffixes -field, -dale and -wood spread like suburban crabgrass. Mr. Stewart grows impatient with the fussbudgets who stick -ville and -town on the end of every name they can find. The imaginative, the witty, even the bawdy stir him. He is in love with the California Gold Rush of 1849, whose miners named their camps Gouge Eye, Mugfuzzle Flat, Brandy Gulch and Gomorrah. He salutes the Forty-Niners for "the most unrestrained and flamboyant experiment in American naming," although such names went the way of most miners' dreams.
In the post-Civil War era, laments Mr. Stewart, "a horrible malady called 'good taste' began to rage throughout the United States." Mr. Stewart mourns the names buried when dullards and prigs bowdlerized maps: We lost Philosophy River, Cuckold's Town and the "magnificent Outlaws X Roads." These are worth a thousand Brookfields. The reader winces to learn that Mosquito was renamed Troutdale. But such defacements are the exception. American names, Mr. Stewart concludes, are the fruit of local democracy and local pride.
No quibbler at the margins, Mr. Stewart even takes aim at the country's name. The phrase "United States of America," he writes, "supplied no good adjective or term" for its inhabitants -- United Statesers? -- and it was the poet's enemy. "United States" was "the worst misfortune in our whole naming-history," he declares. He prefers "Columbia," which is "short, precise, original, poetic, indivisible, and flexibly yielding good adjectives and nouns," but South Carolina snapped it up first, and later rivals to "United States" -- Fredonia, Alleghania, Appalachia -- were trounced.
We're stuck with America. And few authors or books are more American -- in every good sense of that word -- than George R. Stewart and "Names on the Land."
Mr. Kauffman's most recent book is "Ain't My America" (Holt/Metropolitan). His "Forgotten Founder, Drunken Prophet: The Life of Luther Martin" (ISI Books) will be published in September.

Nokia announces new delay for N-Gage gaming
updated 11:50 am EST, Fri December 21, 2007
New Nokia N-Gage delay
Nokia has announced yet another delay for its N-Gage online service. N-Gage was originally slated to launch in November, in part to support its N81 gaming phone; the date was then moved to this week, but the company now says that N-Gage is still in no shape for a debut. The network's 1,000 testers are said to have encountered "unexpected difficulties," meaning that the early-adopter First Access program will not begin until after the holidays.
When it does launch, N-Gage should Nokia owners to buy, download and play a variety of cellphone games, including ones with 3D graphics. This may initially limit the network to people with the N81, but Nokia hopes to expand support to include earlier phones such as the N73, N93 and N95, and it will likely design future high-end phones with gaming in mind.
