Lussekatter - Buttermilk saffron buns (recipe in English and Swedish)
I enjoy Christmas baking so much, but this year, there hasn't really been much time for it. So far.
These are a must for me though, no matter how busy I am, I always find the time to make these and pop them in my freezer. I actually just realized there are only two left in there.. I need to make another batch. I generally find most types of Christmas candy too sweet anyway, I mean I adore caramels but I just can't handle the sweetness. These Lussekatter though, are just perfectly sweet. I adore them.
Makes 19 buns
If the buns start feeling dry, reheat them slightly in the oven or in the microwave and they'll become moist and delicious again!
You can easily double this batch and freeze the leftovers.
1/2 g saffron (1 envelope)
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp cognac or vodka
25 g fresh yeast
2/3 cup buttermilk (regular milk works too)
1/3 cup + 1 1/2 tbsp heavy cream
1 large egg
1/3 cup + 1 1/2 tbsp (90 g) granulated sugar
100 g (1 scant stick) salted softened butter
3 cups + 3 tbsp (450 g) all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt (I use flaky sea salt which I grind slightly in a pestle & mortar before measuring)
about 40 raisins
enough glögg or water to cover the raisins
1 egg
pinch of salt
1 tbsp heavy cream
1. Grind saffron and 1 tbsp granulated sugar in a pestle and mortar. Put in a small bowl and mix with cognac or vodka. This mixture can be prepared up to one month ahead for more flavor, but about 20 minutes before starting the dough works too.
2. Crumble the yeast into a large bowl.
3. Put buttermilk and cream in a saucepan and heat until approximately 37°C (98.5F) Add a little of the liquid to the yeast and stir until it has dissolved, then add the rest of the liquid, the saffron mix, the egg and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.
4. Slowly add half of the flour while working the dough with a dough hook in a stand mixer. You can of course also work the dough by hand but it will take longer. Add the salt and the butter and work until incorporated into the dough.
5. Add the rest of the flour (or as much as needed) and work into a very smooth dough, about 10-15 minutes on low by machine. The dough should be very elastic, smooth and sticky to the touch - if you pick up a piece and pull it apart it shouldn't snap immediately.
6. Leave the dough to rise, covered with a cloth, for 60-90 minutes or until doubled in size. Meanwhile, put the raisins in a bowl and cover them with glögg or water. This is done to not dry out the buns.
7. Now it's time to shape lussekatter! Divide the dough into equally large portions (I used 50 g of dough for each bun) and shape each bun like an "S". The trick is to roll them out really long to make them extra swirly. Prepare two baking sheets with baking paper. Transfer buns to baking sheets. Leave some space between them as they will rise even more. Put two raisins in each bun (as pictured).
8. Cover the buns with clean kitchen towels and leave to rise for 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 250°C (480F).
9. Brush buns with egg wash. Bake at 250°C (480F) for about 5-8 minutes or until golden brown, depending on the size of the buns.
10. Let cool under a clean kitchen towel.
Enjoy! Remember to freeze leftovers immediately once cool or they will become dry very fast.
cirka 19 mindre bullar
1/2 g saffran (1 kuvert)
1 msk strösocker
1 msk konjak eller vodka
25 g jäst
1 1/2 dl kärnmjölk (vanlig mjölk går också bra)
1 dl vispgrädde
1 stort ägg
1 dl (90 g) strösocker
100 g mjukt smör
7 1/2 dl (450 g) vetemjöl
1/2 tsk salt (jag använder flingsalt som jag mortlar lite lätt innan jag mäter upp det, använder du vanligt bordssalt bör du minska saltet en aning)
ungefär 40 russin
glögg eller vatten
1 ägg
en nypa salt
1 msk vispgrädde
1. Mortla saffran och socker. Lägg över i en liten skål och blanda med konjak eller vodka. Detta kan förberedas upp till en månad före men 20 minuter går fint det också.
2. Smula jästen i en stor bunke. Värm kärnmjölk och vispgrädde i en kastrull till fingervärme (37°C). Häll lite av vätskan över jästen och rör om tills jästen lösts upp. Häll på resten av vätskan, ägg, socker och saffransblandningen. Rör om tills sockret lösts upp.
3. Tillsätt hälften av mjölet och arbeta i maskin med degkrok eller för hand med en träsked. Tillsätt smöret i klickar och sedan saltet.
4. Tillsätt resten av mjölet och arbeta till en rejält smidig och elastisk deg, cirka 10-15 minuter med maskin eller 30 minuter för hand på bakbord. Täck över skålen med en ren kökshandduk och låt jäsa i 60-90 minuter eller tills degen dubblats i storlek. Under tiden kan du lägga russinen i en skål och täcka med antingen glögg eller vatten.
5. Knåda degen lite lätt och forma sedan till lussekatter (jag använde 50 g deg per bulle) och lägg dem på två plåtar med bakplåtspapper. Dekorera med russin, täck över plåtarna med rena kökshanddukar och låt jäsa 45 minuter. Värm ugnen till 250°C.
6. Pensla bullarna med ett ägg uppvispat med en nypa salt och grädde.
7. Grädda bullarna 5-8 minuter tills de blivit gyllenbruna. Låt svalna under en ren kökshandduk.

Pear cardamom cake with brown butter frosting & chocolate glaze
Ok, so I'm officially in Christmas mode from now on. I took the plunge yesterday and started listening to Christmas music.. I felt kind of guilty for some reason. Lit candles, clementines and Christmas music is the best way to get myself into the spirit so that's what I've been doing even though it's still quite early (who am I kidding, bring on the Christmas tree already!).
And obviously, this cake which really is the best cake I've had in a while. It might not look like much but, oh, those flavors! Again with the cardamom, I know, but I just can't help myself. And browned butter, pear and chocolate of course.
This weekend I was lucky enough to have my sweet friend Joann Pai visit me in my little town. We had a really great time together, shooting, talking, eating cake, pancakes, cinnamon buns, Indian food and whatnot. Funny thing is, I'm just so used to working alone that I get kind of nervous when someone is watching me work. I'm almost asking for permission to move things around, like "Ok, so I'm gonna put this here....?". I'm glad we were able to get some shots of the cake since the weather wasn't showing its' best side that day. We were also glad to have this cake, obviously.

Spiced apple muffins with streusel topping and cinnamon honey butter
I think there is nothing I enjoy more than baking with apples. Especially if there is cardamom involved. I adore cardamom, if I haven't mentioned it before (which I'm pretty sure I have). Not just with apples, it goes pretty much with anything in my book - coffee (!), rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries, cinnamon buns, Semlor, you name it!
Apples always seem to inspire me to bake, and that was definitely the case today. With my fourth book in the making I've had almost no time to create new recipes for the blog. I feel like I talk about my fourth book constantly, but it's pretty much all I can think about at the moment. It's been so much fun to make, and I've learned so much during the process. I can't wait to share more on this soon!
Anyway, these muffins:

At the table workshop in Dala-Floda and a triple chocolate cake
After what seemed like a long, long wait, it was finally time to host our very first At the table workshop. It's been exactly one month since me, Made by Mary, Cashew Kitchen and Rania Maria met up on that sunny Friday in September at Dala-Floda värdshus. We immediately started preparing everything for our ten guests who were arriving in just a few short hours. I was filled with anticipation, but it was also pretty nerve-racking to say the least. I have never taught styling before and knew that it was going to be a challenge to put words on why, and how I do things without just stating the obvious "uhmm, because it looks good". I knew that I had this chocolate cake up my sleeve though, to sway the guests just in case I would forget everything I was supposed to say (which is something I tend to do when I'm nervous). I didn't get to see Maria's styling session but I know she's a natural teacher and really awesome at explaning her creative process. I did get to see Agnes' session though and she was just fantastic.
I brought my favorite chocolate chip cookies for the guests styling session. It was so much fun to see them all at work, they were all so creative, talented and kind. I wish we had a couple more days to spend together!
I didn't take a lot of photos this weekend, simply because there was no time with all the preparations. But I did get a few good ones. Rania filmed and photographed every move we made though so make sure to check that out!
Thanks to our amazing sponsors Broste Copenhagen (for the beautiful bowls and linen napkins for our guests, and bowls and plates for our welcome table below), Saltå Kvarn (for the delicious snacks and drinks for the guests welcome gift), Arla (for the delicious dairy products for our meals) & Wålstedts Gård (for the gorgeous biodynamic veggies)! This wouldn't have been possible without you!

Brown butter chocolate chip cake with bourbon caramel frosting
The same thing happens every year, I forget my blog birthday. Poor Call me cupcake. So neglected. So last week was Call me cupcake's 6th birthday. SIX YEARS of blogging. That's a long time! And it's still just as fun. Six years calls for cake.
To be honest I struggled to come up with something to bake, which is usually never a problem for me. Often I have too many ideas floating around in my head, but I've been lacking inspiration lately, and most of all I've been procrastinating everything. And I mean everything.
Anyway, I started thinking of brown butter. I really like brown butter. Why not bake something with it? Ok, I'll bake something with it. That's pretty much how it went down in my head. Because who can sit around and wait for inspiration? I know I can't. I just have to make something and hope it turns out well. And it turned out really, really well I think.
So here's to Call me cupcake and all you lovely people who have followed along on this journey, I hope we get to spend many more years together in this little space I decided to create six years ago.

Strawberry buttermilk pancakes with elderflower and poached rhubarb
I can't believe it's been an entire month since I blogged. Time flies, as they say.
Apparently it's been so long that I completely forgot that my previous post was pancake related as well. I usually try to vary each post a bit more, but one can never have to many great pancake recipes. Right?
It's also a whole month since I travelled to France, and to tell you the truth, I haven't even begun to look at the photos yet. I know that I've been busy this month, but what have I done, really? I can't bring myself to remember. And in a few days I'm leaving for France again.
When I was in France a month ago, the elderflower was already blooming and it was really hot. Looking outside right now, it looks like November. Raining and 14°C. Which also means that the elderflower here has really been struggling to bloom. I don't think I've ever seen it bloom this late, and it's not even quite there yet! So if you live in a country where the elderflower has already bloomed, feel very free to make these pancakes without it as they are so delicious with just strawberries. Incredibly fluffy, light and just perfect!

I was never exactly a devotee of the Miss America Pageant, but it shows how far the event has fallen in the public consciousness that it's happening tonight - and I don't think I've heard anyone say anything about it. In fact, to watch it on TV, you have to find some channel called TLC. Well, there might be a little bit of a reason to tune in tonight.
You probably don't think "Miss America" and "hockey" belong in the same sentence (believe me, I didn't either), but Miss Virginia Tara Wheeler has moved on from being the starting goalie on Penn State's women's hockey to being one of tonight's pageant finalists. And she still has all of her teeth! In fact, Wheeler has been traveling around raising money by challenging men's teams to score on her in a shootout.
Wheeler told FOXSPORTS.COM that she's trying to challenge the conventions of what a pageant girl should be:
I think it's good for the Miss America Pageant right now because there's a lot of negative stereotypes about pageant girls and I've found out that they're definitely not true. So being a hockey goalie means more attention drawn to our program because it's someone who's a little bit different. I've had a lot of encouraging responses by being a pageant girl who a hockey goalie. My Lady Icers teammates at Penn State were making fun of me when I told them "Hey, I think I'm going to try a pageant," but half of my Lady Icers team is going to be in Vegas watching the pageant and their families are coming so everyone has been really behind me.
Wheeler says that she still gets to play pickup hockey every once in a while, though her duties as Miss Virginia keep her pretty busy. She says the charity shootouts she has with the boys put them in an awkward position, since hockey dudes aren't exactly known for being the sensitive type. And that all led to this quote, which becomes much more hilarious when taken out of context:
The guys at Virginia Tech, they went all-out on me and that was a lot of fun. But I see that I put these guys in a really rough spot because if they try to score on me, then it looks like they're trying to get less money raised for charity and they don't want to be the jerk that hurts Miss Virginia. But if they try really hard to score on me and I block it, then they're going to be embarrassed.
It's OK, Tara. I don't think you'll have too much trouble finding guys who want to go "all-out" on you.

United States Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, JFK Airport, Queens, New York (Agency) and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1917 (Union)
[ v62 p360 ]
62 FLRA No. 66
March 18, 2008
Before the Authority: Dale Cabaniss, Chairman and
Carol Waller Pope, Member
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator Milden J. Fox filed by the Agency under § 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Regulations. The Union did not file an opposition to the Agency's exceptions.
The Arbitrator found that the Agency violated the parties' collective bargaining agreement by failing to notify the Union of an increase in parking rates at its JFK Airport facility (JFK Airport).
For the reasons discussed below, we conclude that the award is deficient because the Arbitrator denied the Agency a fair hearing. Accordingly, we vacate the award and remand the case to the parties for resubmission to the Arbitrator consistent with this decision.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
The award in this case involves a collective bargaining agreement predating the formation of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In this regard, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), along with 22 other Federal agencies, became DHS. INS was abolished and separated into three new bureaus under DHS: the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). As relevant here, employees from several former agencies, including the United States Customs Service, INS, United States Border Patrol, and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture, were brought under CBP. NTEU, AFGE/NINSC (National INS Council), and the National Association of Agriculture Employees (NAAE) had collective bargaining agreements with the former agencies. Additional bargaining units transferred to CBP include the National Border Patrol Council and the National Association of Plant Protection and Quarantine Office Support Employees. In this regard, the Arbitrator found that it was "not disputed that not all of the local CBP employees are former INS employees." Award at 17. The Arbitrator also found that a "forthcoming representation election" to determine the "exclusive representation of all CBP employees, with the exception of the Border Patrol unit" was pending. Id. at 17 and 6. [n1]
The instant case involves CBP and AFGE Local 1917 and parking fees at the JFK Airport. These parking fees are controlled by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey through a company that runs the parking facility. In 2004, the Port Authority decided to increase the parking rates for CBP officers at JFK Airport. The fees increased in March 2005 to $25.00 a month, and in March 2006, the fees increased to $50.00 a month.
After the fees were raised, the Union filed a grievance contending that CBP violated Article 9(A) of the 2000 collective bargaining agreement (2000 Agreement) when the parking rates were raised without notice to the Union as required by Article 9(A). [n2] The parties were unable to resolve the matter and thus the issue was submitted to arbitration.
The stipulated issue before the Arbitrator was:
Did the Agency violate Article 9(A) of the [Agreement] in connection with the handling of [ v62 p361 ] the increased parking rates at JFK Airport? If so, what is the remedy?
Id. at 3.
Before the Arbitrator, the Union argued that Article 9(A) of the 2000 Agreement requires a "proper 9(A) notice from CBP in regard to the parking rate[s] at the JFK Airport[,]" and that the "rate increase is a mandatory subject of bargaining[.]" Id. at 8. The Agency argued that it could not be found "to have breached Article 9(A) . . . because it is not a party to [the 2000] Agreement and, therefore, cannot breach its terms as a matter of law." Id. Alternatively, the Agency asserted that the "Union did not meet its burden of proving that [the Agency] failed to give notice pursuant to Article 9(A) . . . ." Id.
The Arbitrator found that the case was presented by the parties as a "[c]ontract violation . . . a single issue[,]" and that the 2000 Agreement "govern[ed]" the matter. Id. at 24 and 4. In rejecting the Agency's claim that it was not obligated by the 2000 Agreement, the Arbitrator considered testimony and evidence presented in a previous award in which he was the arbitrator. [n3] In particular, the Arbitrator relied on a March 12, 2003 memorandum issued by the then Under Secretary for Management of DHS (the Hale Memorandum), and evidence, including testimony, as to the meaning and coverage of this memorandum. The Arbitrator also relied on the testimony of a witness in the prior arbitration that he was the author of the Hale memorandum, that "`all existing collective bargaining agreements and relative documents executed before 2003 still had life and that one purpose of the [Hale memorandum] was that no one's rights were stepped on[,]'" and that "[u]ntil new guidance is used, all DHS managers are expected to honor contractual and statutory obligations that are in place.'" Id. at 16 (Arbitrator quoting transcript in AFGE, Local 1917 and CIS).
The Arbitrator also found that an Administrative Law Judge's decision in United States Department of Homeland Security, Border and Transportation Security Directorate, Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, New York, New York, Case No. BN-CA-04-0468 (July 19, 2005) (DHS/CBP, NY) -- where the Judge found that the Agency was not bound by a prior collective bargaining agreement between the union involved and the agency and thus did not violate the Statute -- was not controlling in this case because the author of the Hale memorandum did not testify in that case and because the judge's decision "ignored" DHS' decision as to the application of this memorandum. [n4] Award at 19. Also, the Arbitrator noted the court's decision in NTEU v. Chertoff, 385 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C 2005), wherein the court found that certain regulations issued by DHS to implement its human resources system were unauthorized. Based on the above, the Arbitrator found that the Agency "must adhere to the existing [2000 Agreement] . . . terms." Award at 19.
The Arbitrator next addressed the Agency's alternative argument that the Union did not meet its burden of proving that the Agency failed to give notice pursuant to Article 9(A) of the 2000 Agreement. The Arbitrator found that the Agency violated its duty to provide the Union notice to bargain over parking rates, as required by Article 9(A), because the Agency failed to notify the Union of the proposed increase in parking rates consistent with the requirements of Article 9(A) of the 2000 Agreement.
To remedy the Agency's violation of Article 9(A) of the 2000 Agreement, the Arbitrator considered, and rejected, the Union's request that the Agency pay all unit employees' parking increases at JFK Airport. The Arbitrator found there was "no statutory authority that would permit the [CBP] to pay its employees' parking expenses," and the 2000 Agreement likewise did not authorize such payment. Id. at 25. The Arbitrator thus, as his award, stated only that the Agency violated Article 9(A) of the 2000 Agreement.
III. Agency's Exceptions
The Agency asserts that the Arbitrator denied it a fair hearing when he relied on testimony outside of the record in finding that the Agency was bound by the 2000 Agreement. According to the Agency, at the hearing it argued that it was not bound by the Agreement because it was not a party to it. The Agency relies, in this regard, on the testimony of one of its witnesses that the Hale memorandum "served as [an] intra-agency guidance with regard to the pre-existing bargaining agreements governing the employees of the newly-formed Agency, and that it did not serve to bind the Agency to these [a]greements to which they were not a party, such as the [2000 Agreement]." Exceptions at 10. The Agency contends the Union presented no evidence to counter this testimony. Nonetheless, according [ v62 p362 ] to the Agency, the Arbitrator "relied upon his interpretation of the . . . Hale memorandum, which had been entered into evidence" in the prior arbitration." Id.
The Agency asserts that the Arbitrator relied on not only his prior award in concluding that the Agency was bound by the 2000 Agreement, but also on the testimony from a "self-proclaimed author of this [m]emorandum'" in that case. Id. at 11. The Agency states that this witness' testimony was not a part of the instant record, the Union did not call this witness in this case, and the Union did not introduce or seek to introduce the witness' prior testimony as evidence. The Agency asserts that it was "not given the opportunity to determine whether this "yet-unnamed witness truly spoke for DHS with regard to the import of the . . . Hale memorandum[,]" and that the Arbitrator did not provide the name of this individual in his award. Id. at 12.
The Agency thus asserts that it was "blindsided" by this witness' testimony and "deprived" of the opportunity to counter it. Id. Specifically, the Agency contends that it had "no opportunity to cross-examine this witness to determine his veracity, or the basis of his claimed knowledge of the . . . Hale memorandum[,]" and it was denied the opportunity to present evidence to discount the testimony of this witness. Id. In addition, the Agency contends that it was denied the opportunity to brief the matter because it was not aware of the Arbitrator's prior award, or the testimony cited therein.
The Agency next asserts that the Arbitrator's finding that it violated Article 9(A) of the 2000 Agreement is contrary to law. The Agency contends that it is not bound by the 2000 Agreement and thus it is not required to "adhere to its terms and provisions." Id. at 13. The Agency also contends that the award is contrary to law because it conflicts with decisions of Authority judges in DHS/CBP, NY (Case No. BN-CA-04-0468) and United States Dep't of Homeland Sec., U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Wash., D.C., (2005) (DHS/CBP and NAAE) (Case No. SF-CA-04-0577). [n5] In addition, according to the Agency, it provided the Union with proper notice of the increase in parking rates and the Arbitrator's ruling is contrary to Authority precedent, specifically, United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kan., 55 FLRA 704, 715 (1999).
Finally, the Agency asserts that the award is based on two nonfacts. First, the Agency contends that the Arbitrator found that the Agency was bound by the 2000 Agreement based on testimony concerning the Hale memorandum that was presented to him in the prior arbitration proceeding. Second, the Agency contends that the award is based on the Arbitrator's incorrect factual determination that the Agency did not notify the Union of the increase in parking rates pursuant to Article 9(A) of the 2000 Agreement.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
An award will be found deficient on the ground that an arbitrator failed to provide a fair hearing when it is demonstrated that the arbitrator refused to hear or consider pertinent and material evidence, or that other actions in conducting the proceeding so prejudiced a party as to affect the fairness of the proceeding as a whole. See AFGE, Local 1668, 50 FLRA 124, 126 (1995). It is well established that an arbitrator has considerable latitude in conducting a hearing and the fact that an arbitrator conducts a hearing in a manner that a party finds objectionable does not, by itself, provide a basis for finding an award deficient. See AFGE, Local 22, 51 FLRA 1496, 1497-98 (1996). As an example, an arbitrator does not fail to conduct a fair hearing by accepting and considering additional information or memoranda submitted by a party with its post-hearing brief, where the opposing party had an adequate opportunity to respond to the additional information. See NATCA, MEBA/AFL-CIO, 47 FLRA 638, 647-48 (1993).
The Authority vacates awards when a party demonstrates that an arbitrator denied the party a fair hearing. For instance, in General Services Administration, Region 9, Los Angeles, Calif., 56 FLRA 978, 979 (2000), the Authority found that an arbitrator, by failing to provide the agency with an opportunity to respond to an official time issue raised for the first time in the union's post-hearing brief, prejudiced the agency in a manner that affected the fairness of the proceeding as to that issue. Additionally, in United States Department of the Air Force, Hill Air Force Base, Utah, 39 FLRA 103, 107 (1991), the Auth

how to keep younger kids occupied?
Normal is an illusion. What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.-Morticia Adams
Comments (6)
We do school during nap time, but I recently found that playing with sensory bins has been great for my 2 and a half yo. when I need time to get other things done. We made colored rice a few days ago and he's loved it.

Well, I guess that depends on how you envision homeschool, especially for preshool.
Personally, I would consider them to both be "younger" kids and I would plan to do most things together. Art atthe table, nature walks in the local park, books read together on the couch, writing letters in the sand with sticks, and so much more can be done actively so that the 2 yo could join in at his level,
If I made a sensory bin, the 4 yo would be as likely to enjoy it as the 2 yo. If I squirted a bit of regular non-gel shaving cream on the table or some other protected surface, I have no doubt that most 2 yos would enjoy finger painting with the stuff that didn't make mom made when it got on the carpet. The same is true forthe preschool child.
You could plan schoolish activites for nap time if your preschooler prefers sitting at the table with lots of workbooks or listening quietly while you "teach him something". That is not the norm for most preshoolers, though. Hands down, most kids between two and five years of age will (if given the option) gravitate toward a more active, play-oriented approach to learning. That means you could teach them together for at least on more year.
Woo Hoo! I'm a grandma!

I haven't quite figured it out... hard to read to my older kids (9yo, 6yo) when my 4yo and especially the 2yo are running around screaming some game or refusing naps, again. One of these days we'll find some sort of groove. I hope.
Yes, I have four kids.� Yes, I'm not quite normal, it's okay, I already know.

lol. I'm homeschooling my 5.5 year old with a 2.5 who just stopped napping last week... grrrrr
So far, she hasn't been too interested in joinining in anything. She goes and watches tv or plays her own toys. When she is interesting in joinining in, I let her color, or cut paper with scissors. The sensory bins don't work (here) unless they're both doing them - as DS enjoys them, too. So I use those at a time when they can both do them.

IU's brother was ashamed to admit he was related to her

- 0
Singer IU confessed that her fame caused her brother some embarrassment in the past. On December 22nd, IU guested on KBS 2TV's 'Happy Together 3 Christmas Special' alongside Jun Hyun Moo, Marcos, Boom, and Kim Na Young. MC Yoo Jae Suk remarked, "It must have been uncomfortable for your brother knowing that his sister was a famous singer," to which IU replied, "He was embarrassed of me at first." "I'm his older sister, but I come out on TV and try to act cute, so he was embarrassed and refused to tell people about me," she continued. Laughing, the MCs continued to ask, "When have you been grateful towards your brother?", and IU replied, "These days, he is afraid of making mistakes because he fears his mistakes will in turn cause me to be criticized." Later in the show, IU showed off her 'sexy dance', which became quite the hot topic online. Source & Image: Xports News via Nate

This hotel has facilities measuring 11000 square feet (990 square meters), including a meeting room. Self parking (subject to charges) is available onsite.
As mentioned, the location is excellent for walking around Little Italy and the Gaslamp district. The staff are friendly and helpful. I like the showers as they are quite spacious and can function as a mini-tub. Overall it was a clean and comfortable environment.
The room was aligned with the light rail. Every time a train left the adjacent station, the conductor tested the horn. It was too much noise for the hotel not to give us a heads up. Two stars for this "oversight".
Location was perfect, service was exceptional. David, who was on the front desk when we arrived, was outstanding. He gave us great recommendations for restaurants and other activities in the hotel and the surrounding area. Housekeeping was outstanding, with turndown, chocolates, And room set up with lighting and mood music upon return at the end of our days out. Concierge was very helpful with information and ticketing for tours. Great pool area on third story patio deck. One of the best hotel experiences we have had! We recommend it highly.
Street Car noise on the side of the building where our room was located.
comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Kind and friendly staff, prompt response with broken thermostat. Kind and courteous repair workers.
There was a few (2) pieces of trash on my bed when I got there (a piece of tissue and a cap to a water bottle). The thermostat dial was broken and I immediately had to call for a repair. My room was directly over train tracks that ran ALL NIGHT LONG!
I really liked coming back to the room st night and finding the lights dimmed, the bed turned down and nice relaxing misic playing. This was a very nice touch
The hotel had a musty smell that was unappealing. The concierge and some of the people at the front desk were not very friendly/helpful when I asked about place to get a good fish taco and hoe to get to old down. Made me feel like I was shaking silly questions and bother.
Very classy, beautifully appointed hotel. Staff helpful, polite and wanted our stay to be as comfortable as possible. Our room was lovely and the turn down service was appreciated - especially the music playing and the low lighting when we returned in the evening. I agree the C street side of building a bit noisy, but would not deter me from staying there again when we are in San Diego. The valet was very prompt to deliver our car and 2 young men helped us with our luggage. We had room service breakfast.. Very, very good...Thank you for a lovely stay...
Friendly staff, good location, etc.
Balcony is not too big. Take one step out and that's all you got....other than that, cool hotel to stay. Not hip, but cool.
The room was clean and very comfortable
The staff was very friendly and helpful since we didn't know our way around San Diego. The room was very comfortable and beautiful. We would stay there again.
There were add on charges.
Check-in was efficient & friendly. Great wifi. Excellent pool.
This time our room faced C Street - very noisy. Previous stay we faced 3rd Street - much quieter.
The decor was a little dates but very opulent...really beautiful chandeliers in the lobby accented with elaborate holdings!
Our room was not well cleaned from previous stays. We encountered the following: 1. Old pack of cigarettes in the closet 2. Large stain on one of the robes 3. Opened and half consumed water in the mini fridge (as a part of the $15 resort fee you receive 4 free water bottles in the mini fridge) 4. Dirty ice bucket containing a good amount of water/alcohol remains 5. Stepped on a very sharp furniture tack that must have come loose and was on the floor by my bed
The hotel is beautiful! The staff was helpful and prompt. There was someone there right away to take our luggage to our room, and our room was ready upon an early arrival. I'd stay there again!
After checking out, the valet didn't help us get our luggage in our vehicle. $30.00 a night I felt it should have been better service.

Blended Learning | News
Two schools at Henry County Schools, a 40,000-student district in Georgia, are instituting new blended learning programs that meld online and face-to-face instruction with personalized and adaptive learning techniques.
After a period of high student growth for the district, the new programs were put into place at two locations, the Locust Grove Middle School and the Impact Academy. Student data plays a particularly large role at Locust Grove, where teachers combine self-paced online instruction with face-to-face lessons. Using an instruction model that resembles the flipped classroom, students reviewing basic learning materials at their own pace for two hours during the day and then and work with teachers, and each other, in smaller classes on critical thinking and problem solving projects.
For the Impact Academy program, students take courses online and then receive personalized support from teachers in class. The academy offers classes to students that otherwise do not fit into their normal schedules or that are not offered at their local campus.
The two programs are featured in a documentary, "Opening Up a New World," produced by Edgenuity, whose software the district uses to pace instruction. The 10-minute film spotlights how the district turned to technology as a means of addressing the diverse learning needs of its students.
"It was important in our district to stand up and say, it's not okay to accept the status quo. We need to do more for our kids, we need to expose our kids to more," said Aaryn Schmuhl, assistant superintendent for learning and leadership at Henry County in a statement. "Through online and blended learning, we are giving them the tools to be successful by their own accord, and it will help them in high school and beyond."

Transportation Design Student Renders C7 Corvette
Here are several C7 concept renderings whipped up by transportation design student James Robbins for a class project and posted on Yanko Design. Robbins keeps the current C6 Corvette proportions and reworked the front and rear based what he sees as the next logical step for the C7.
Although we've heard that the C7 body has been completed, until we actually see the new Corvette, renderings such as these by Robbins will just have to tide us over.

[POLL] Should the C7 Corvette's Design Go "Retro"?
GM Executives Squash Latest C7 Corvette Rumors
Amazing, how a design student can make a much better looking Corvette than the GM Corvette Design Team. Sorry, but that's the truth in my eyes. If he was let loose on a mid engine and/or real C8 Corvette-wow!
personally i think those are ugly.
Very Ugly…The rear of the car looks like he couldn't make up his mind on the tail lights,one or the other not both….
Like the look of the front of the vette but that is about all there is to like….
Looks terrible IMO
I like coming across these renderings and then putting them out there for comment. I wasn't a big fan of this one either, but it was polished enough that it was worth presenting.

The very public legal dispute between left-wing TV host Keith Olbermann and his former employer, Current TV, is showing no signs of simmering down.
After Olbermann filed suit against the small public affair channel last week over the company's decision to sack him, Current TV fired right back with its own suit. And playing nice seems to be the last thing from anyone's mind.

Lyric Meaning
It was one of them skits where we was looking at our competition. And when Ghost is saying whatever he was saying, we kinda knew who he was talking about, but it wasn't like we trying to start a beef. It's just sometimes, when you get in that booth and you start saying what you wanna say, it just happened. Back then we was feeling good. The liquor's making a nigga feel stronger. We know we coming up with a good album. And we letting it be known, listen: Blah blah blah blah blah. And that's all we did.
This was the end of the first side. That's how we thought of it right then. We was letting niggas know, we know what we was doing, knew what we had in our hand. Don't sound like none of my crew. Eventually niggas did bite. If they would have bit it that year, they would have gotten fucked up. We was enforcing, we was fucking niggas the fuck up. You grow up out of your meanness. Hip-hop had only one rule: no biting. We knew that everybody was already jumping on it already. You had a few niggas trying to clone our shit, already had a few fake Meth's popping up. Fuck that. We gonna see you. At one point, a nigga would kill you if you sounded like them.
I didn't want niggas to sound like me. Basically we was just wilding, starting a lot of trouble. We was airing out at that time. I'm not here to fuck around and start throwing out names. But at that time, niggas knew what was going on and who niggas was talking about. You know how Wu came through. At that time, it was on for anybody. We came into the game like, Fuck everybody. Niggas can't touch this, whatever, whatever. That was our mind-frame back then. We ran all that shit—jails, streets, Brooklyn House, Rikers Island, and Up North—Wu-Tang was what was up. So we was just them two niggas bugging out off of that shit.
God bless the dead, I love Big. He's a fucking icon. Even when I seen him out in Cali, I wanted to tell son, Yo, let's go ahead and make this record together because I matured through the years, and at the same time, I recognized good music. We shook hands on some peace shit, but that was all, 'cause they was on their way leaving out. A day or two later, niggas aired him out. I felt bad like a muthafucka because it was like, Damn, the niggas aired out one of my New York niggas (source).

An airway obstruction is a blockage in the airway. It may partially or totally prevent air from getting into your lungs. Some airway obstructions are life-threatening emergencies. They require immediate medical attention to prevent death.
Upper airway obstructions occur in the area from your nose and lips to your larynx.
Lower airway obstructions occur between your larynx and the narrow passageways of your lungs.
Partial airway obstructions allow some air to pass. You can still breathe with a partial airway obstruction, but it will be difficult.
Complete airway obstructions do not allow any air to pass. You cannot breathe if you have a complete airway obstruction.
Acute airway obstructions are blockages that occur quickly. An example of an acute airway obstruction is choking on a foreign object.
Chronic airway obstructions can occur in one of two ways. These can be blockages that take a long time to develop. They may also be blockages that last for a long time. For example, emphysema can cause a chronic airway obstruction.
The classic image of an airway obstruction is someone choking on a piece of food. However, that's only one of many things that can cause an airway obstruction. Other causes include:
Children have a higher risk of obstruction by foreign objects than adults. They are more likely to stick toys and other small objects in their noses and mouths. They may also fail to chew food well before swallowing.
However, there are also other risk factors for airway obstruction. These include:
The symptoms of an airway obstruction depend on the cause. They also depend on the location of the obstruction. Symptoms you may experience include:
Airway obstructions are diagnosed by evaluating your symptoms. Doctors look for signs that include:
Certain tests may also be used to determine the cause of your airway obstruction. These may include:
An X-ray can also be used to look for obstructions.
Treatment for an airway obstruction depends on the cause of the obstruction.
The Heimlich maneuver is an emergency technique that may help a person is choking. It uses abdominal thrusts to dislodge a foreign object.
An endotracheal or nasotracheal tube may be inserted into the airway. This can help get oxygen through swollen airways.
Tracheostomy and cricothyrotomy are openings made in the airway to bypass an obstruction.
Epinephrine can be used to treat airway swelling due to an allergic reaction. Some people with severe allergies carry EpiPens. These are simple injectors containing epinephrine.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be used to help you if you are not breathing.
With prompt treatment, an airway obstruction can often be treated successfully. However, airway obstructions are extremely dangerous. They can be fatal even with treatment.
If you or someone you know may have an airway obstruction, get help immediately.
Many types of airway obstructions can be prevented. Reduce your risk by doing the following:

Thank you for this plugin, it's excellent. There's just a little bug I've noticed.
When I create a post, even before I save it, the plugin generates a link to the /?p= url rather than the permalink, and saves it to my bit.ly account. When I subsequently publish or title the post, the plugin generates a second bit.ly link — this time to the permalink. As a result, my bit.ly account has two links per page.
Is there any way of preventing this?

This chapter studies the impact of structural violence on communal, acute violence. I define structural violence here, provisionally, as the "extent to which fundamental human needs tend to be frustrated and human development tends to be inhibited as a result of the normal workings of a society's institutions" (Gil 1986:129; see also Christie 1997:315). The connection between structural violence and acute violence seems intuitively evident, but it has not often been explicitly analyzed. In an earlier book on the Rwandan genocide, I studied these relations at the micro-level (Uvin 1998). In this chapter, I set out to examine the relationship between structural and acute violence at a more general, conceptual level, against the backdrop of the globalization of the world political economy. The chapter has two aims then: to analyze the mechanisms by which conditions of structural violence favor eruptions of acute violence (primarily of a communal nature), and to explore the impact of globalization on this process.
This chapter is divided into three major parts. The first part defines structural violence; the second discusses its relation to globalization; and the third aims to outline its impact on acute violence. I draw on a wide literature from the fields of political science, anthropology, sociology, and, rarer for an International Political Economy (IPE) article, psychology, and public health. These eclectic choices are explained by the multifaceted nature of the social dynamics of violence, and by the fact that scholars in these disciplines have provided important understandings of some of these dynamics. Much of this literature builds on a deep social engagement: whether we look at the work of public health specialists Paul Farmer and R. G. Wilkinson, anthropologists Nancy Scheper-Hughes and Philippe Bourgois, psychologists David Gil and Michael Simpson, or peace scholars Johan Galtung and John Burton, through it all there runs a common thread of an engaged, humanistic political position. This essay, then, also seeks to highlight the major contributions of these engaged scholars.
The term "structural violence" is believed to originate with Johan Galtung, the father of peace research and one of the foremost social scientists of the second half of the twentieth century. In 1969, he began this project by defining

In linguistics, to divide language into small components that can be analyzed. For example, parsing this sentence would involve dividing it into words and phrases and identifying the type of each component (e.g.,verb, adjective, or noun).
Parsing is a very important part of many computer science disciplines. For example, compilers must parse source code to be able to translate it into object code. Likewise, any application that processes complex commands must be able to parse the commands. This includes virtually all end-user applications.
Parsing is often divided into lexical analysis and semantic parsing. Lexical analysis concentrates on dividing strings into components, called tokens, based on punctuationand other keys. Semantic parsing then attempts to determine the meaning of the string.

Kristin Kreuk 2008 by ZindyWatch
©2008-2016 Zindy
It's been a while since I drew her. As some of you might have seen I posted her in my Work in progress some time back. I put the drawing away for a little while as I wasn't all sure if I liked it. When I found the drawing again I decided to finish it and in the end I am glad I did cause I feel it's one of my better drawings of her.
To me she has always been a little hard to get right, not sure why. I tend to feel that way with actresses/singers I like. Maybe it's because I want them to be extra good because of the fact I like them.
The things I feel most satisfied with are the mouth corners and her eyes.
Made with soft coal.

High school girls basketball: Nightmare for Bingham's Mackenzie Bruggeman ends with heroics vs. Syracuse
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
TAYLORSVILLE — The veins of Bingham's Mackenzie Bruggeman were pumping ice — but not in a good way. The usually reliable forward was dead cold, and despite an inordinate amount of great looks from the high post, she watched a fusillade of shots clank off the iron time after time.
It wasn't her night.
With the Miners clinging to a one-point lead against Syracuse with 36 seconds remaining in regulation, Bruggeman corralled an entry pass on the low block. She had missed eight straight. Five in the fourth quarter alone.
Undeterred by her struggles, the senior muscled a layup softly off the glass that fell innocently through the twine.
The bucket, after Bruggeman chased down a defensive rebound, proved to be the deciding factor Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the 5A girls tournament at Salt Lake Community College. The undefeated Miners had survived, 43-36, at the end of Bruggeman's nightmare.
"It's hard not to get frustrated with myself because that's the natural thing to do," Bruggeman, who finished with 10 points on 3-of-13 shooting, said. "The only thing I can do is stay positive and keep trying to do it for my team."
Bingham coach Rand Rasmussen's faith in Bruggeman never wavered.
"What I told her (in) the last timeout," he explained, "I said, 'You're probably due. You're going to be the one.'
"And she was."
Syracuse (11-11) was the early aggressor. The Titans, who had won two of the past three 5A titles, took an 11-5 lead when Paige Trimble swished a 3-pointer with 13.8 seconds to go in the first quarter
It was the second consecutive night Bingham trailed after the opening eight minutes.
"We said from the start that we'd be the hunted and I think we are," Rasmussen said.
The Miners adapted to the larger venue, and captured their first lead in the middle of a 10-0 run to start the second quarter off Bruggeman's transition layup with 6:40 left in the half.
After being outscored 20-11 in the second quarter, Syracuse coach Rob Reisbeck employed a morphing three-quarters press and full-court press to begin the second half.
"Normally we're always (a) full-court pressure type of team," Reisbeck said. "We tried something different in the first half and then we went back to what we're good at. When the kids fly around we're dangerous."
The purpose of the press was to force Bingham's quick-dribble guard, Madison Aulai-Roe, to distribute the ball to supporting players before half court instead of initiating offensive sets.
"Madison is a great point guard and she's the one that gets everything going," Reisbeck said. "That was our goal (to get it out of her hands) and see who else was going to step up for them."
The idea panned out and the Miners shot 4 of 18 in the final two quarters.
Trailing 31-24, the Titans held Bingham (23-0) scoreless for eight minutes. Then, with 7:23 in the fourth quarter, they tasted their first lead since 11-9 with 7:14 in the second quarter off a 10-0 run that culminated when Trimble knocked down a 15-foot corner jumper.
Trimble and Takenna Hamblin accounted for all 10 points in the run.
"I think they're trying to figure out what will work and what wouldn't work," Rasmussen said of the varying defensive strategies in the first two rounds. "It's hard for us because we've got to try and prepare for the whole darn thing. I think they throw different tweaks to see how we'll handle it. We're going to see something new everyday."
On the ropes, the hunted started hunting. The Miners, enthusiastically switching screens and crashing the boards, frustrated Syracuse into five turnovers and 1-of-4 shooting from the field for the final seven minutes.
At 6:22, Jillian Powell clogged the bleeding with a pull-up jumper just inside the arc. The basket sparked a 12-2 run to close the game.
"I think being in that situation — it's new," Reisbeck said. "You're playing on a big stage against a team that hasn't lost. I'm proud of our kids. They fought to the end, and we had our opportunities."
The Miners, who connected on 11 of 12 from the line, finally exhaled when Powell, an 82 percent free-throw shooter who Rasmussen said, "we try and get the ball in her hands," buried both freebies in a 1-and-1 situation.

Ethereal by TomEdwardsConceptsWatch
©2013-2016 TomEdwardsConcepts
From all your works, this one struck me the most. There's a very eerie feel to it, yet it's almost sad and melancholy at the same time. The shading is superb and I love the feathery flowing look of her hair; it gives her face a beautiful frame and brings it out from the darker background quite amazingly. It's a very difficult trick to pull out, but looks amazing when done well. The tones, the depth... This is simply a striking image captivates the viewer for a moment. Beautifully done!
I used it as ref yes, but very vaguely (pose mainly). I use a lot of ref for my work as it's invaluable, but I don't need to list all of it.
Wow! So beautiful *О*
Wow Amazing !
Amazing! Simply amazing!

Peggy Noonan: "It's Over"
| Wed Sep. 3, 2008 4:20 PM EDT
Love those hot mics! Here's video of Mike Murphy, an old McCain hand from 2000, and Peggy Noonan, a former Reagan speechwriter, talking off camera about John McCain's vice presidential pick. They are, shall we say, less than sanguine about the choice.
