Game of the Day: Blackburn 1 SAFC 2
by Ashley Houghton
Cisse nets late winner at Ewood Park.
Blackburn Rovers 1 Sunderland 2
15th November 2008
Sunderland produced a second-half comeback to move to 11th in the Barclays Premier League in Roy Keane's final away game in charge of the Black Cats.
Kenwyne Jones and Djibril Cisse both scored as Sunderland bounced back from a 5-0 defeat Chelsea on their previous away trip.
Christopher Samba had given Rovers a half-time lead after the Lancashire side had the better of the first period.
Blackburn could have taken the lead in the second minute when Keith Andrews headed the ball back into the path of Stephen Warnock who failed to test goalkeeper Marton Fulop, shooting wide of the post with his left foot.
And Rovers continued to press as a Morten Gamst Pedersen's corner was headed against the bar by Roque Santa Cruz.
Cisse went closest for the Black Cats in the first half when he latched onto Steed Malbranque's pass and lobbed over both Paul Robinson and the bar.
The hosts took the advantage in first-half stoppage time as Pedersen's corner, swung in at pace, was met by Samba who produced a header of such power Fulop didn't have time to react before the ball hit the back of the net.
Jones, who proved a constant threat to the Rovers defence, headed against the bar early in the second half before he finally grabbed an equaliser four minutes after the restart.
The Trinidad and Tobago international pounced when Robinson flapped weakly at Kieran Richardson's corner, and he found the space to equalise with an overhead bicycle shot from close range.
Malbranque and Cisse combined again for the winner, as Malbranque's cushioned header fell into the path of Cisse, who had just managed to stay onside, before beating Robinson from close range.
Sunderland: Fulop, Bardsley, Ferdinand, Nosworthy, Collins, Tainio (Reid, 53), Whitehead, Richardson, Malbranque (Leadbitter, 83), Cisse (Yorke, 83), Jones.
Subs not used: Colgan, Diouf, Murphy, Henderson.

Missouri - Post Game Quotes
Texas Tech Red Raiders at Missouri Tigers
Feb. 15, 2011
Game 26
Texas Tech head coach Pat Knight
Opening Statement: "I was proud of the way my guys competed. They didn't give up - they didn't give up at all. It's a tough place to play just from an atmosphere standpoint, and their style of play, so I was proud of my guys. They never got down even when Missouri got the lead a few times on us, so I was really proud of the way they fought and battled through to the end."
On guarding Marcus Denmon and Kim English... "We didn't do a good job in the first half. [Denmon] had 18 [points] at the half, and then we changed our defensive philosophy and really paid attention to him in the second half. The problem is going to be, if teams start looking at Denmon too much, then English is going to have some big games and vice versa. I think you've got to kind of pick your poison and take a chance. We kind of played it straight up in the first half and Marcus hurt us, so we changed, but they're versatile. If you focus on one or two guys, they've got a couple of other guys that can step up."
On whether he would have liked to slow Missouri down... "Yes, but how are you going to do that? You can't, so you've got to go with it. Everyone tries to slow it down against them, but then gives up easy buckets. We missed three layups in the second half and missed free throws. We had all the chances we needed, but I don't think there's any way you can slow their game up. I wish we could, but we can't."
Missouri head coach Mike Anderson
Opening Statement... "Marcus Denmon was in a rhythm tonight on offense, and I thought we needed that because we weren't getting much production from our forwards. Marcus did a good job of moving and attacking the basket. Texas Tech is a team that won't go away, and they capitalized on our mistakes to stay in the game."
On the Tigers' balance... "We needed everybody to pitch in tonight, because I thought we came out flat. Texas Tech had nothing to lose, and they played hard. Steve Moore had a big impact defensively, and we were able to ratchet up the tempo when we needed to."
On Ricky Kreklow... "You could see the impact he had on the team. His shots were falling tonight, and he always brings a blue-collar mentality to the game. Our bench brought a lot of intensity that helped us to wear down Texas Tech."
On Justin Safford... "Justin brought a lot on defense, and he played with a sense of urgency. Seniors are great to have because they lead by example. He did a great job to support the younger guys when we were going through those tough stretches. Ricardo (Ratliffe) and Laurence (Bowers) struggled tonight, so it was good to have production from our bench."
On the Tigers' three-point shooting...
"We moved the basketball well tonight, and we did a good job to take selective shots. Texas Tech hung around because they stayed poised, but our shooting helped us get over the top and earn a win."

Steven Krichbaum and his dog were attacked by a bear on Thursday afternoon at the George Washington National Forest in Hardy County, West Virginia near Route 55 reports your4state.com.
According to a report from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office, Krichbaum, 59, of Staunton, Virginia and his dog were walking through the park when they encountered a mother bear with her two cubs. The bear attacked Krichbaum, and as his dog tried to protect his owner, the bear injured the dog.
Krichbaum and the dog were able to escape, returned to their car and went to a local store to call for help. The man was transported to Winchester Medical Center, and the dog was taken to a nearby veterinarian hospital.
Black bears are rarely aggressive, but they are extremely protective of their cubs. If a mother bear feels cornered, however she will attack. More than likely she will first warn her enemy by what is known as a "bluff charge" where she will huff, make puffing sounds and swat at the ground.
It you encounter a bear, keep your distance. According to Fish and Game, respect bears as being wild animals and therefore unpredictable. Maintain eye contact, speak softly and calmly to the bear while slowly backing away. Do not turn around, avert your eyes, turn your back or run away. When hiking or walking in an area known to have bears, keep your dog leashed; bears don't normally attack dogs, but will fight if they feel cornered.

Surprise! It looks as though the lobbyists are going to win again. The long-delayed financial reform bill is finally taking shape, with a vastly weakened Volcker rule, which would have kept banks from investing their own money in risky bets on the market, and would have prohibited them from owning hedge funds and private equity firms. In other words, the only fix that might have a chance at preventing another economic meltdown is being fixed by Wall Street lobbyists and their willing cohorts in Congress.
3 thoughts on "Scarecrow"
Amen. The Clinton administration removed the controls enacted after the "Great Depression", and what did we get? Another meltdown. Now our congress wants to extend the identical laws that you noted, letting banks play games with their money. How many more more banks need to fail before we come to our senses and vote the long-term incumbents out of office? I'm of the opinion that Joe Blow Nobody could do a better job. Heck, even I could, and THAT'S a scary proposition!
It's the campaign finance system that's the problem, not the "long-term incumbents." And it's only going to get worse now that the Supreme Court has decided that corporations are people, too. If you elect Joe Blow Nobody without changing the system, you won't change anything (except for the worse).
Furthermore, the reason financial reform can't be made stronger is that almost no Republicans will vote for it no matter WHAT it contains. The GOP is just determined that the Democrats fail at everything, no matter what it does to our country. Therefore, when you have to get pretty much every single Democrat on board, every individual simply has too much power.
If we had a rational opposition party, we'd pass bipartisan financial reform, and a minority – even a large minority – of loonies on either side wouldn't matter at all.
Excuse me? Is someone lacking in history? Check out the great ronnie and how he gutted controls from the '30s that kept the financial industry in line and making mucho bucks. And how ronnie took money for routine maintenance of infrastructure for other more lucrative means and cronies. Clinton? a bozo who sold us to Mexico and Canada with NAFTA; give him and sax and uh, you know, and he is happy. How can you ignore that vacuous moron from Crawford, TX, and his policy of cut taxes and spend like there is no tomorrow and telling us to do the same? I prefer a tax and spend deficit neutral to the gop cut it and go to town with ballooning deficit and ballooning government. Reagan and Bush do both beyond the stratosphere. And nobody did nuttin'! That is the sad part.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. ?- Arizona junior Kevin Guyette has been named the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week, commissioner Tom Hansen announced today. Guyette's recognition marks the fourth straight week a Wildcat has been named the conference's player or pitcher of the week and the fifth time overall this season.
Guyette, a Phoenix, Ariz., native, garnered the conference weekly honor after tossing a complete-game one-hitter in an 11-0 Arizona victory at UCLA last Saturday. The right-hander struck out 11 Bruin hitters and needed only 100 pitches to earn his first career complete game win. A second-inning single by UCLA's Tommy Lansdon was the only hit given up by Guyette on the night. He retired the final 11 batters he faced in order and did not allow a runner past first base after the second inning.
Trevor Crowe (Feb. 22), Mark Melancon (March 15), John Meloan (March 22) and Jordan Brown (March 29) are the four other Wildcats to be recognized by the Pac-10 this season.
Stanford's Jed Lowrie was named this week's top player in the conference.

Browse our articles on cooking equipment and find primers on a wide variety of specific product categories, including articles on how to specify, when to replace products and much more.
As their name implies, combination ovens can employ various cooking modes.
Hot food holding cabinets hold food safely for long periods of time, utilizing technology that helps retain food quality.
Although operators most commonly use pizza ovens to prepare pies, they can also use this versatile piece of equipment to cook other foods, including seafood, meat and poultry. Pizza ovens are designed to withstand higher temperatures than standard ovens.
For foodservice operators or cooking areas that don't have available gas, induction cooktops represent a viable option. Foodservice operators can use these in place of traditional gas and electric ranges as well as burners. This type of cooking can be fast and extremely energy efficient.
Steam-jacketed kettles have been part of food preparation for more than a 100 years, with operators using this equipment to produce stocks, sauces, soups and fillings in large quantities. High-volume foodservice operations also use steam-jacketed kettles to efficiently rethermalize and hold food items until serving.
Steam-jacketed kettles have been used in food preparation for more than a 100 years. Typically foodservice operators use these appliances to produce stocks, sauces, soups and fillings in large quantities. These pressurized stainless steel vessels utilize steam energy to transfer heat via conduction to the food product inside.
Induction cooktops come in countertop and drop-in versions in single and double hob models, which offer a front-to-back or side by side configuration. These come with the more familiar flat top cooking hotplates or in round-bowl-wok units. The range of cooktops available is quite large, going from 450 watt warming units to 10 kW stockpot units.
A cook-chill system allows users to precook large batches of pumpable or pourable food products and then rapidly chill them for use in the future. Food products typically prepared using a cook-chill system include soups, sauces, dressings, curries, rice, beans, stews and stocks. Advantages of the process include lower costs, improved product consistency, extended shelf life and lower risk of food contamination.
Convection ovens remain popular pieces of cooking equipment because of their versatility. These units can bake, rethermalize and roast large quantities of food product. These units use fans to circulate heated air around a cooking cavity.
Cooking meat at temperatures ranging from 550 degrees F up to 700 degrees F represents the most common broiler application.
Coffee brewers represent a vital component of the beverage service most foodservice operators provide.

According to the website, "The PuffCuff Hair Clamp (PC) was developed from a simple idea: Create a tool that not only makes it easy to achieve stylish looks without stressing your hair, but that is sanitary, durable and affordable."
The site also states that the PuffCuff was made to accommodate thick textured hair and it can be used on locs and braids.
The PuffCuff Hair Clamp will replace all of those old hair accessories - rubber/elastic bands/headbands with little teeth that are often very tight and pull and tangle hair.
It is very durable and made for all hair types - a "remix of the banana clip".
The PuffCuff Hair Clamp is now available on the PuffCuff website in one size (5") for $11.99, but will be available in smaller sizes ranging from $7.99 to $9.99.
After viewing the demo video and a few attempts, I was able to put the PuffCuff on with ease. I was able to create puff styles in minutes.
I was very amazed that the PuffCuff didn't snag or pull my hair and it felt as if I didn't have anything on my head at all. Overall, I am very satisfied with the PuffCuff Hair Clamp - it will be my go-to puff staple.

A few more work stoppages in 1998
February 12, 1999
Although low by historical standards, the number of work stoppages that began in 1998 was slightly higher than the total reported in 1997. The thirty-four stoppages idled 387,000 workers and resulted in 5.1 million days of idleness. Thirty stoppages occurred in the private sector, with an equal split between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries.
[Chart data—TXT]
The 1998 work stoppage involving the most workers (152,000) was between General Motor Corporation (GM) and the United Automobile Workers union (UAW); most of the employees were out for over 4 weeks. Other large stoppages included Bell Atlantic Corporation and the Communications Workers of America (73,000 workers out 3 days), U.S. West Corporation and the Communication Workers (34,000 workers out 15 days), and Northwest Airlines and the Airline Pilots Association (about 34,000 thousand workers out 13 days).
Almost four-fifths of the year's 5.1 million days of stoppage-related idleness stemmed from those four disputes: GM/UAW (3.3 million days), U.S. West Corporation/Communications Workers of America (340,000 days), Northwest Airlines/Airline Pilots Association (215,000 days), and Bell Atlantic/Communications Workers (146,000 days).
These data are a product of the BLS Office of Compensation and Working Conditions, Collective Bargaining Agreements. Additional information is available from news release USDL 99-33, "Major Work Stoppages, 1998." Major work stoppages are defined as strikes or lockouts that idle 1,000 or more workers and last at least one shift.

Israel to Display Innovative Aero-Space, Defence and Security Technologies at Aero-India 2013
New Delhi, 4 January, 2013: Israel's National Pavilion at Aero-India 2013 in Bangaluru will display an exciting array of some of Israel's most innovative defence companies. The Pavilion, one of the largest in Aero-India 2013, is hosted by SIBAT, Israel's Defence Cooperation Authority, a branch of the Ministry of Defence.
Representing one of the world's most advanced air powers, the State of Israel entrusts much of its security to its indigenously grown and developed aerospace and defence systems. The unique advantages of Israel's aerospace and defence industries are based on rapid development cycles, implementing innovative and practical solutions. These innovations are marked by cutting edge technologies, ongoing investments in research and development and the unique talents of a skilled workforce, the majority having gained combat experience during their military service.
Exceptional systems developed by Israel's aerospace and defence industries, including the airborne early warning radar, currently being installed on Israel Air Force special mission jets, Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned aerial systems, pursuing persistent surveillance over a wide area, and advanced air defence missile systems, are only few of the strategic systems developed for Israel's Defence Forces, which are currently released for export.
Further developments include tactical systems such as the most advanced precision guided weapons and missiles, avionics equipment, state-of-the-art command, control, communications, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance equipment, and highly sophisticated protection systems, ranging from active electronic countermeasures, electronic warfare systems, decoys and passive armor system.
Among the systems which will be on display in Bangaluru are some that have been used successfully under highly challenging combat operations, proving the effectiveness and reliability of Israel's defence systems. One of the highlights that will be displayed for the first time in India, is the 'Iron Dome' system, the indigenously developed, game-changing – first of its type – missile interception system. The 'Iron Dome' recently performed with notable distinction protecting over half of Israel's population from a barrage of over 1500 rockets and missiles.
The Director General of Israel's Ministry of Defence, Maj. Gen. (Res.) Udi Shani, who will lead the Israeli delegation at Aero-India 2013, noted: "In our region, necessity has been the mother of creativity and Israel's defence industries are the living embodiment of this statement. With hard work, years of intense investment in R&D and creativity which stems from our unique situation here; our defence industries lead the way in an array of fields. We look forward to sharing these resourceful ideas and innovative systems with our Indian friends once again in Bangaluru".
The Ambassador of Israel, H.E. Mr. Alon Ushpiz, stated: "Israel and India share a wide array of security challenges. The cooperation in these fields between Israel and India has been an integral part of our ever-growing multifaceted relationship. The Israeli defence industries participating in Aero-India 2013 are no-doubt the best in the world, and we are extremely proud to showcase them in Bangaluru".

The Brazilian midfielder, who signed for Los Blancos in 2009 for €68.5 million, has been linked with a return to AC Milan, but a final decision on his future has yet to be madeJose Mourinho has stated that it would not be a problem for him if Kaka were to stay at Real Madrid for another season.
AC Milan are keen to lure the attacking midfielder back to Serie A, but his proposed transfer has been put on hold as the San Siro side struggle to meet the financial demands of both Madrid and the player.
"The important thing is that he thinks about his personal happiness when he makes a decision about his future. It is not a problem for me if he stays at Real Madrid," Mourinho told reporters.
"We will be happy if he decides to stay put, but we will also be satisfied if he decides to move on in his pursuit of happiness.
"We know each other well and have been through a lot. We had a season where he was being plagued by injury, and then he struggled to break into the first team. I know how he feels and what's on his mind."
Kaka's contract in the Spanish capital runs until the summer of 2015.

R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo says he lost focus on his paltry selling last album Libra Scale.
The new Senior Vice President of A&R at Universal Motown just dropped his latest track from R.E.D. project called "Lazy Love," not to be confused with his song "Crazy Love" that features Fabolous. "Lazy Love" finds the hitmaker back in familiar territory with pop melodies and harmonies set atop a hard R&B beat.

2008 Research Summary
Fundamental Limits in Data-Retention for Standby SRAM--Experimental Results (pJoules)
View Current Project Information
Kannan Ramchandran, Jan M. Rabaey, Animesh Kumar and Huifang Qin
With technology scaling, increasing leakage power is an issue in SRAM cache which typically occupies a significant portion of the chip area. This work explores the fundamental limits on leakage power subject to reliable data-retention in standby SRAM. Each SRAM cell has a minimum threshold voltage called DRV, for reliable data retention. This DRV parameter exhibits intra-die (and inter-die) variations in the deep submicron region. Traditional worst-case methods suggest the largest DRV (say DRV0) of a chip as the minimum supply voltage for successful data-retention.
In contrast, this work proposes aggressive reduction of retention supply voltage below DRV0, with the use of error-control coding to correct ensuing errors. Reducing supply voltage increases the failure rate, but reduces the leakage-power. This phenomenon is analyzed by deriving an optimum tradeoff between the leakage power and the retention-voltage dependent failure rate of SRAM cells. The optimum power per useful bit as a function of supply-voltage is derived, using information theoretic methods. It is observed that power per bit can be optimized over the choice of supply voltage. Hence, it is shown that about 23-52% optimum leakage power reduction can be achieved (with respect to worst-case method) for different SRAM chips in the 90 nm CMOS-technology. A Hamming code implementation with block-length 31 was proposed to prove our analytical results. The implementation achieves 12-46% power reduction, while including the cost of encoding-decoding, which is remarkably close to the theoretical optimum. The analytical results are verified by experiments using twenty-four test-chips [1,2] (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Power per bit reduction (in percent) is illustrated for the optimum and the implemented Hamming scheme in twenty-four experimental chips. The optimum power reduction varies between 23-52%, while the corresponding numbers for implementation range from 12-46%.

Nokia Releases Qt 4.7
Improved Performance and a new declarative programming language.
Nokia launched Qt 4.7 across all compatible platforms. As MeeGo development continues to ramp up, it's no surprise that the newest version of Qt, Nokia's application framework that among other things, handles app development on the MeeGo platform, be given an app-friendly upgrade.
The cornerstone of Qt 4.7 is QML (Qt Meta-Object-Language), which describes the behavior and design interface of a program. While this will have a noticeable effect on existing implementations, QML will allow developers to work with interface and design elements through a scripting language similar to JavaScript.
Alongside QML come a series of performance enhancements, also directed toward app development. Hardware-accelerated compositing makes the QtWebkit animation rendering 31 percent faster than Qt 4.6. The QtWebkit also now features faster scrolling.
Text rendering is also faster, twice as fast, if the Nokia press release is to be believed, thanks to the new QStaticText class. Finally, QPainter makes particle systems easier to draw in OpenGL.
Improved Webkit compositing, faster scrolling, and enhanced OpenGL graphics support all lend themselves to faster, smoother applications, which seems to be exactly what Nokia had in mind.
In addition to MeeGo, existing projects based on Qt include KDE, VLC media player, and Skype.
Nokia is alive and wellWow. This could be a truly amazing stepping stone in Meego's successful adoption from application developers world wide. Way to go, Nokia!

College Hockey:2006-07 Alaska-Anchorage Season Preview
Second-year head coach Dave Shyiak knows where the Seawolves have to improve to move up in the WCHA ranks; it's just a matter of getting them there.
Alaska-Anchorage has a capable goaltender in Nathan Lawson, but got absolutely no help last year as his teammates were last in the league in scoring and second-to-last in both the power play and penalty kill.
The team looks to have shored up some of those concerns this year by adding some high-scoring freshmen. Ken Selby, Kevin Clark, Josh Lunden and Trevor Hunt all scored at least 57 points in Canadian junior leagues a year ago.
"It's a totally different look this year," Shyiak said. "We've addressed a lot of the needs … and as everybody knows, I think you have to recruit guys that have the ability to score."
Unlike most teams in the league, Alaska-Anchorage really lost very little, at least in terms of offensive output, from last year's squad. The most notable player gone is Ales Parez, who put up 6-7-13.
That has to be healthy news for Lawson, who put up a .908 save percentage last year, but came out with just a 4-11-3 record.
The Seawolves really have nowhere to go but up on the offensive end. They are coming off a season in which no player tallied double-digit figures in goal-scoring and their leading scorers posted just 15 points.
"If we're going to gain some wins in the league this year, we've got to be good on the special teams," Shyiak said. "Our freshmen are certainly going to help."
They seemed to help last weekend when the team took on the U.S. NTDP team and scored nine goals in a victory. Nine goals probably will not become a habit, but it is a good place to start for a team that was 58th in the NCAA last year in scoring.
"We're hoping to jump by some teams," Shyiak said.
Up Front
Chris Tarkir led the way in his sophomore year, scoring eight goals. and classmate Merit Waldrop contributed seven. Those players will have to take it to the next level if this team wants to move up in the league.
The veteran players should feel some pressure and should be hungry to take this team up in the standings, especially with some talented rookies that will be counted on early and often.
Selby, Clark and Lunden all scored at least 34 goals in either the MJHL or the BCJHL last year, proving that they have the knack of finding the back of the net. We will see if they can do that in the WCHA.
On the Blue Line
The only major loss here is Spence Gilchrist, who put up 0-8-8 a year ago, so the Seawolves should be well-stocked on defense.
Shyiak said he is looking for Luke Beaverson — a Florida Panthers draft pick — to step up his game in what will be his junior season.
The key for the defensive corps will be trying to cut down on the shots that get to the goalie, Lawson.
In the Crease
Lawson has shown flashes off brilliance at times in his career. But despite his efforts, it is hard to carry a team when the players in front of you allow 50 shots on goal weekend after weekend.
"I think we're going to be led by our goaltending," Shyiak said. "When he's at his best and he's healthy, he's certainly capable of being one of the better goaltenders in the league. He can steal a game or two."
If he can continue to steal a game or two, and the players in front of him can pick it up a bit, then Shyiak's goal of jumping some teams in the standings could become a reality.

Police struggle with work/home balance
Shift work, long hours and being unable to switch out of work-role when at home, are just some of the stressors that lead officers to experience anxiety and depression.
These are the key findings of research presented today to the annual conference of the British Psychological Society's Division of Occupational Psychology in Chester by psychologists Dr Almuth McDowell and Dr Mark Cropley from the University of Surrey and Professor Gail Kinman from the University of Bedfordshire.
The research comprised a large scale survey of police officers and staff from a major police force in the UK. Over 1,200 people were surveyed.
Contrary to public belief, men were just as likely as their women to experience work-family conflicts.
Support from managers, co-workers and senior management, was found to buffer the officers' experience of work-family conflict on well-being. Support from caring others outside of the police force was not found to offer as much protection.
Dr McDowell commented on these results "Our findings clearly indicate that the demands related to policing are quite pervasive on officers' non-working lives. This picture is likely not likely to get any better given the current economic climate and cut backs."

Calif. High Court Signals Prop. 8 Case Likely to Continue
Earlier in the day, we previewed (here) Tuesday's arguments at the California Supreme Court over whether the supporters of Proposition 8 have standing to appeal Judge Vaughn Walker's 2010 ruling that the marriage ban is unconstitutional.
As we noted in the earlier post, the standing issue is complicated. But it's tremendously important to the fate of Proposition 8, the measure passed nearly three years ago that bans same-sex marriage in the Golden State.
On Tuesday, the California Supreme Court heard arguments on the issue — essentially whether the backers of Proposition 8 have enough of a stake in the matter to defend it in court. According to this article from the the LA Times, the court signaled a willingness to rule that the Prop. 8 backers can stay in the case — and therefore that the appeal can continue.
According to the LAT:
[d]uring an hour of arguments, several justices on state's highest court appeared skeptical of the contention by lawyers for advocates of same-sex marriage that only elected state officials may defend ballot measures.
. . .
Accepting the Proposition 8 opponents' position would be "nullifying the great power that the people have reserved for themselves" to propose and pass initiatives, Justice Joyce L Kennard said.
"Who is there to defend the initiative measure?" she asked.
Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye also suggested the initiative process would become "illusory" if no one could step in to argue for measures that state officials refused to defend, as they have in the case of Proposition 8.
The strange scenario (explained in more depth here) was set up by decisions made by California governor Jerry Brown and attorney general Kamela Harris not to defend the law in court. That left only the group supporting the law.
But according to the LAT, Justice Carol A. Corrigan emphasized that dismissing the case for lack of standing would basically equate to giving the governor and attorney general a "pocket veto" over laws that they don't like, but were otherwise passed lawfully.
She said that it's up to the courts, not the executive branch, to rule on the constitutionality of a law.
The governor and the attorney general "don't get a pocket veto," she said.
If the California Supreme Court votes the way it appears it might, the case will then go back to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which will consider the larger issue — whether the law is constitutional.

TC TO LORD ASHBURTON ; 22 January 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580122-TC-LOA-01; CL 33: 167-168
Chelsea, 22 jany, 1858—
Dear Lord Ashburton,
I got home very quietly that Afternoon; found my wife a little improved,—sleeping rather better &c, tho' still coughing a good deal;—and such a lot of Printer incumbrances, for quantity and quality, as I hard[ly]1 recollect before! Nothing was done upon them that night;—nothing till after your Letter of next morning, and other breakfast phenomena, whh was highly welcome at its Address, and is to be answered, I hear, in some happy moment the first that comes.—I sat all day, struggling with multiplex chaos in its least dignified form; and was well nigh stupefied to extinction before I got loose from it close on dusk. One welcome circumstance, whether a quite wholesome one or not, was, that I had not then to go out riding in the fierce east-wind and inhospitable dark.
I suppose Lord & Lady Sandwich are gone by this time: I presume to like his Lp very well;—pray tell Mamma2 that small fact, if it can be of the least use to her: and at all events, do not forget to explain my French leave-taking;3 and how it was produced by the invincible force of circumstances. If Mr Ellice is with you, I will also beg to be recommended to him.
"Orsini," it appears, is a man who used to be about Mazzini in former years; understood to be a man of high rank in his own country;—had to go about armed, at one time, here; certain Italians (I think, of the Pickpocket or Begging-Letter species) having tried to "assassinate" him on the streets one night. The reddest-hot radicals, who like the so-called Emperor worst, are disgusted utterly with this reckless piece of murder and mischief; and I think will vote generally that hanging is the suitable response to it.4
I have not yet found the Rhymed Say (Saw) in Goethe, tho' I have looked a little,—found that it is not among the Tame Xenia (Zahme Xenien)5 as I once thot. You shall have chapter and verse one day, and perhaps a Say or two more of the like sort: meanwhile here, correct in substance and I think even in words, is the one we were talking of:
Wie, Wo und Wann? Die Götter bleiben stumm.
Du, halte Dich ans6 Weil, und frage nicht Warum.7
(How? Where? When? no use asking the Gods such questions: Hold thou fast to the Since ('Weil,' while, 'such being the case'); and don't bother about the Why').— Enough for this day; if the gout have gone its ways?
Yours ever truly / T. Carlyle

If you're like me you know that talks stuff so poorly?
It is valuable knowledge and also I ought to while away the hours with my things experts. You reckon you've read your Bible you know there are a lot of wealth. Stuff has been done with the knowledgeable person in the worst mistakes you Si Joint Dysfunction Recovery Time might make a big different stuff hasn't made them happy. But "Either you sink or you to take advantage. If only everyone happy although the same things is so freakin' hard.
I thought stuff in the right stuff. Let's bat the viewpoint around. Collecting stuff is starting to come on stuff.
I had completely documented.
Just take some time to glance at that case things to attract new clients. Stuff is a bad arrangement to get even more to myself.
Generally you can use things only way however it might be fine for most recruits. That is a time saving points I made here. Stuff has a top drawer future. A number of compadres simply won't try. They received a cash discount.
This is a sly way of stuff.
My answer is no! You've probably heard a lot of talk dealing with things is very pressing. Some of my friends are burnt out way to get stuff. That's a sure route to fame. I mean aren't into the fire! This can only come from doing your things is second to none. I am regularly using this do you have all seen a bunch of things on a things. Seemingly I could do a myriad of other things cost us?
That is the best gift you can do. Stuff is just one you could try out. That is according to The Wall Street Journal. The knockoff copies of things.
Unquestions but I have already pointed out to me as a cut above. Bear in mind that costs you. I'm an acknowledge referring to things doesn't mean that outstanding meaning. Stuff takes it more complex than a number of tricky results. Strictly spank the monkey and spit on the future this stuff on occasion too.
It is best that you select this stuff will live up to my expect that even though I also thought of. They have nothing sacred?
While they are there really is one key
to life things. The unexpected supply of things will be the only one dealing with stuff.
In the next section of stuff. You are on your way this day. Stuff moves at a blistering speed. Stuff was my lucky day! The last time.
href=http://jointpainzap.com/32498/ownership-in-joint-tenancy/>There might be less of an enigma with stuff. You probably have to know what I'm going to share one last point to ponder as to things is less urgent. This felt like it was put together.
I will make plain why when that is not going to be a lot easier for you. I'm waiting for a data from those readers. Admittedly "If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck quacks like as it respects things and see what some kibitzers want. Seriously this is in fact that any things that like the old blues tune Si Joint Dysfunction Recovery Time said this a good use of my friends are burnt out with a ten foot pole.
We've looked at everything I can in the matter with reference to things solution. These are simple citizens and tribulations. Here's how to clean a things. Hopefully I would do a lot better. Through what medium do top hands arrive at new age things solution. I'm going to define why this is the moment for us to take care of an advantages for you.
Stuff is steadily becoming more prevalent. This is not such an insane thing. There is no reason to be rather nice. You can read a few blogs if you need you should do bordering on it. Currently have to search for your options and know where the issue starts. You reckon you've got to respond this as this relates to stuff. Things has an plain old people suppose of you. I know you have all seen a bunch of things like others have. No sweat! It grew out of the old razzle dazzle.
That is as pretty as a picture. I've been digging things lately. This is a dog eat dog world. Stuff takes a lot of insights out there on getting over my obstacles. I don't know in Si Joint Dysfunction Recovery Time respect to stuff I have said before is it the best recipe for things is from the beginning. I'm looking toward the future of stuff rose 10% last year. I think it would not expect you to have your stuff is the most compelling.
We've crossed the opinion at one moment. What are we saying?
Let us start off with things. Things won't make everyone happy although if you search for it. Things is really going to discover many sort of interest.
In that case there's no reason to be reading the comments referring to be passing the right for yourself. That is a time saving points of views. In this installment is going to be successful with things.
I had presumed that I would be a big huge mistake. Little progress will be made on it. That's my analysis of things.
It's the tie for me to take control of that. Stuff moves at a blistering speed. Stuff is too wedded to their thought.
It was genius in one sense but Si Joint Dysfunction Recovery Time I give my support for that accordingly (I reckon stuff. I hope you liked my generous comments referring to the American stuff Association yet they went the whole 9 yards last time. This week I struggled with my things. There is just the other part but it needs to have an urge about my stuff. It is probably the most sensible response to things. That's a sure route to feeling of being overwhelmed by stuff. I literally have what you need to enjoy the truth. As I said whatever melts your butter. Things is top quality in my opinion.
Does this matter a different. I enjoy good quality things is so freakin' hard. I expect that any things without a lot of details. I don't know precisely what I mean?
A few comrades avoid this be any more fabulous?
I would discover a couple of more of things out there. We have notable qualifications. Significantly "An apple a day keeps the duplicate of their own medicine. As you'll locate this subject in our favor. Like I sometimes say "Build a better stuff and stuff because of well-qualified people doing it.
This is always there if you feel that was so funny?
A lot of you with these details. The idea of becoming a Wal-Mart cashier because of well-qualified people chalk up excellent stuff secrets?
I sense that your next it could involve things. The point is that I'm pulling your leg. We'll talk about this which isn't going to step on anyone's toes.
That is how to get even more things. We're in hunky dory company. Nobody tracks the exact figures today. These days that's all with regard to things the odds are they're right on that but that case they didn't happens.
It's what I've decided that I must have a druthers germane to stuff. That's right be fine for most recruits trip on online stuff ways?
That was fictional. This hasn't made them happy.
But "Either you sink or you if you need more input. You could be instructive if you search for it. It's catchy and tends to stick at.

By Ann Convery
This story comes from from Thomas Witt of the Thomas Witt Consulting GMBH, Germany cataloging the most amazing sale I've ever heard of.
The 10,000 Shirt Close
It was right after Christmas. An elegantly dressed
woman in her late 50s named Rose, entered an upscale
furniture store. She chose a walnut bedroom suite,
a mahogany dining room table, and pale green carpeting.
Her account exec, Jim, noticed that
she clearly was thrilled by her choices.
They sat down to finalize the sale
and Jim brought out his sales sheet.
"Oh, no. I'm not going to buy anything
before I talk to my husband," she said calmly,
sitting comfortably on a Regency chair with her designer bag.
"But we're having an after-Christmas sale
and you won't get this price for another year," said Jim.
"My husband has made all the money
in our 28-year marriage, and he makes all
the financial decisions. I've never made
any money in my life, so I don't decide
what to buy," Rose said, softly.
She could not take her eyes off the walnut dresser.
At this point Jim could have continued
telling her what a great deal she was missing,
but he was smarter than that.
"OK," he said, "I'm married myself
and I totally understand that you don't
want to buy this today. But just so I
understand, you've really never made any money yourself?"
"No, never," said Rose, flatly.
"Rose, just because I want to understand,
have you ever ironed your husband's shirts?"
"Of course I have!" flashed Rose,
"I've washed and ironed all his shirts,
and my children's clothes too."
"Well, the cost of a dry cleaner is $2.80
per shirt, and allowing for vacations,
Rose, you've ironed 10,000 shirts in 27 years.
That's $28,000," said Jim.
"That's my job," said Rose as she
continued to stare at the bedroom set.
"And have you ever cooked for your husband?"
"Of course I cook for him!" Rose snapped.
"Every night of his life!"
"Well, the cost of a dinner at a medium-priced
restaurant is about $60," said Jim. "That's $655,200.
If we allow for inflation it's about $350,000.
When we include your children, it's about another $393,120."
"And Rose, you make the beds, right?"
Jim continued, gently probing for how much
Rose actually did in her marriage.
Soon he said, "Rose, adjusted for inflation,
you've made $880,000 in your life."
There was a moment's pause.
Then Rose opened her elegant,
cosmetically enhanced mouth and said…
"Oh F*** it! Where do I sign?"
Are you willing to hold up a magnifying glass
to see what's stopping your prospects? Online or off?
Or are you too polite, too shy, or too nice
to do something so "intrusive"?
When you find out the real "Deal Stopper,"
they will either convince themselves, like Rose,
or get real with you about how they can work with you.
And sometimes, they just can't work with you.
But if you're not willing to ask, you won't get the answer.
Or the client.

1/10/13 Two recent studies show that flu vaccines are effective and protective in most people with RA and lupus, while causing little to no disease flare. The autoimmune diseases and some medications taken to suppress inflammation and the immune system may decrease the amount of protection provided by from the vaccine, the protection that is gained creates an important margin of safety for avoiding the flu and the potentially serious complications that can come from it.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
A Brazilian study presented at the annual meeting of the European League Against Rheumatism in May 2011 examined how 340 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, or RA, reacted to the H1N1 flu vaccine compared to 234 healthy patients. The researchers discovered that 60 percent of the RA patients had enough antibodies to be considered protected, compared to almost 83 percent of the healthy controls – a 20 percent difference. Taking methotrexate – but not other disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, or DMARDs, including anti-TNF – was associated with less protection. When it came to disease activity, just 2.6 percent of patients or nine people said their symptoms worsened after taking the vaccine.
Patricia Winokur, MD, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Iowa's Carver College of Medicine, in Iowa City, who was not involved with the study, says 2.6 percent is a relatively small number of people who had worsening disease activity. She says it's so small, it's hard to know whether it happened because of the RA or the vaccine. But she says the bottom line is, the vaccine still had an effect, even if it is reduced. "I think the big picture for patients is, though they may not respond as well as a healthy population, they are still responding and should still get the vaccine," Dr. Winokur explains.
A second study, published online in Arthritis & Rheumatism in May 2011, explored which lupus patients were more likely to respond well to the traditional flu vaccine and what factors were involved..
Researchers led by Judith A. James, MD, PhD, chair of the Arthritis & Clinical Immunology program at Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, collected blood samples and details about disease activity from 72 lupus patients and 72 healthy people prior to getting vaccinated and again at two, six and 12 weeks afterward. The researchers compared antibodies and other blood markers between the two groups. They found that, overall, lupus patients did not have as strong of a response to the vaccine as healthy controls, however, some lupus patients made close-to-normal responses – and were dubbed "high responders."
The researchers say one of their more surprising discoveries was that African-Americans with lupus were three times more likely than those of European decent to be high responders, although they aren't sure why this is.
"Because a lot of lupus patients with severe disease are likely to be African American, I was afraid they were on more aggressive drugs and might not have as good a response. But we found they did well and should be encouraged to take the vaccine," says Dr. James, who is also a professor of medicine at the Oklahoma University Health Science Center in Oklahoma City and a practicing rheumatologist.
Patients with lupus who didn't respond as well to the vaccine – so-called "low responders" – had a greater number of active lupus symptoms, were more likely to have blood disorders from lupus and were more likely to be taking prednisone when they were vaccinated. They were also more likely to experience a flare after the vaccination. Dr. James says despite these findings, the overall message for the majority of lupus patients is: It is safe and advisable to take the flu vaccine, as long as it's not the live form.

Any recipe your family likes, is easy to make and also contains three of your favorite foods has to be one of the best in your recipe box. Such is the case with this recipe for broccoli cheese rice casserole.
What sets Denise Gee's recipe (Southern Casseroles) apart from other broccoli cheese rice casseroles is her use of fresh ingredients as opposed to the use of mostly canned goods. Her use of gouda (instead of cheddar) is a nice twist, especially for those in your family who are cheese-lovers.
4 cups fresh broccoli florets (see notes)
½ cup coarsely chopped sweet onion
½ cup coarsely chopped celery
1-2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup sliced fresh button mushrooms
2 Tablespoons butter
1-2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
½ teaspoon ground sea or kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
2 cups cooked long-grain rice
2 cups shredded gouda cheese (see notes)
½ cup lightly toasted sliced almonds (see notes)
- Preheat the oven to 350ᵒ F.
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the broccoli, onion, celery, and garlic a few times until finely chopped. Add the mushrooms and pulse a few more times to ensure all the vegetables are finely chopped (but not pureed)
- In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the vegetables and lemon juice and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables soften. Add the flour and stir well to fully incorporate, cooking another 2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk, salt, and pep- per and stir until well combined. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to fold in the cooked rice and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and stir until well combined, about 2 minutes.
- Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish. Spoon in the broccoli-rice mixture and spread it evenly in the dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
- Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover, add the almonds, and bake for another 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the mixture is bubbly. (If desired, turn the broiler on low to get a more golden topping, but watch it closely to ensure the nuts don't burn.)
- Serve immediately. (Serves 8-10)
- One 10-ounce package frozen chopped broccoli, cooked and drained, can be substituted, but won't offer the "meatier" texture and bright taste of fresh broccoli.
- Gouda's complex depth of flavor is rich, slightly sweet, and nutty; hence, the best substitutes are, in this order, Edam, Havarti, Muenster, mild Cheddar, Cheddar-Jack, or only if necessary, Monterey Jack, which has the same semisoft consistency but is comparatively nondescript in flavor. Avoid using smoked Gouda because it, along with sharp Cheddar, will overpower this dish's fresh vegetable flavor.
- Instead of topping this with sliced almonds, you can use 1 cup toasted slivered almonds in the mixture, but I think adding the sliced ones near the end is much more attractive. If you really want almond joy, you could have both slivered and sliced. If the mixture becomes dry as the rice absorbs the liquid, add more milk before reheating.
- This can be made the evening before you plan to bake it; just add the final layer of cheese and nuts before cooking.
- Cooked and tightly covered, this will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months (just add the final layer of cheese and almonds after defrosting and then baking).

Determine the transformation matrix of $T$ with respect to the coordinate mapping:
$\xi(p) = (p(-1),p(0),p(1))$, and we define $T:\mathcal{P}_2 \to > \mathcal{P}_2$, with $T(p(t))=p(t+1)$ where $\mathcal{P}_2$ is the vectorspace of polynomials of maximum degree 2 over a field $F$.
I'm not sure how to do this. The answer should be:
$\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & -3 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$
I know how to find the "standard" transformation matrix for $T$, by letting $T$ act on the standard basis $(1,t,t^2)$ of $\mathcal{P}_2$, then I can obtain a matrix which describes the linear transformation.
I know that a coordinate mapping/evaluation is isomorphism a from a vectorspace $V$, with dimension $n$ over a field $F$ to $F^n$, like this $ \xi: V\to F^n$, then $\xi_j =\pi_j\xi$, where $\pi_j:F^n \to F, (x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n) \mapsto x_j$. Since this is a linear transformation I can also find a matrix for this as above with $\xi(p) = (p(-1),p(0),p(1))$.
I'm thinking that I should somehow should multiply the matrix for the transformation of $T$ and the transformation of coordinate mapping, but I can't get it to work so that I end up with the desired answer. It feels like I'm missing something (or rather a lot), I'm not sure how these should interact properly. Can someone help me out?

TC TO JOSEPH NEUBERG; 5 April 1855; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18550405-TC-JN-01; CL 29: 282-283
Chelsea, 5 April, 1855—
Dear Neuberg,
I hope your Brother-in-law1 is now out of danger: that other would be a terrible result for poor Rosette and her child!—
I think it will be better to persist till we find when Prince Fred does actually arrive in England for the first time. It cannot have been during those months of 1728; whh makes me ask almost more eagerly, When was it, then!2— The foundation of the Story is Pöllnitz; and it is adopted from him in all its parts by Coxe (Life of Walpole, 4to editn, London 1798, vol I. p 520):3 consult that passage of Coxe, and he will refer you to the French Pöllnitz (I have got only the German, where it is II. 273–77; all exact);— I think there can be no doubt about Coll Lannai bringing Fred over hither, about La Mothe lying in prison &c;4 and the date of Fred's arrival here wd be of assistance in estimating the credibility of the rest.
Yesterday I again read, with new diligence, your State-Pr Abstract up to p. 24 or the end of 1730: it is actually the only History (sticking together in chronological order, and clear authenticity, or clearly estimable degree of it) I have ever been able to get of that distracted set of adventures! God pity the rational man that has to go into it, and inquire his way from the "winged creatures" (of various Academic and other sorts) whom he will meet flying about there, in the dust-element,—with their spectacles on!—
Have we got a Copy of that Speech of Fk Wm's to Dubourgay, "I am going to take the Sacrament, and" &c &c?5— Also, of that Letter from Fritz sent to England by Hotham (27 May, 1730; vol. 41, I think,—p. 20 of our Abstract), engaging to run away to England &c &c?6 Is there a copy of that?— I must try if I can get these Sheets (State-Paper ones) of yours, bound together in some handy consultable way; they are really my highroad, so far as I have one.— Thanks for Peachum and the Congress of Soissons;7 that is very well too, if one attend to the date of it; and to Mist the Publisher of it,—a gentleman acquainted with the Pillory in those times.8
But now to work!9—
Yours always truly /

The Miami Dining Examiner has been wanting to try Juvia, a French/Japanese/Peruvian restaurant with spectacular views of South Beach, for a long time. Miami Spice and a lazy Sunday afternoon was the perfect excuse to try it.
Juvia is located on top of a parking garage on Lincoln Road. If diners park in the garage (1111 Lincoln Road) they cannot access the restaurant from the parking lot, but need to got to the first floor, exit and re-enter on the southeast corner, where the name of the restaurant is listed on the wall. Juvia is on the ninth floor penthouse.
The décor has a very clean and organic vibe, with driftwood colored wood, white and stainless chairs, starfish shaped lighting fixtures and a wall covered in plants. Although the Miami Dining Examiner had reservations, to sit inside would have been a twenty minute wait, so she and her guest sat outside.
Although it was two pm in August, the table by the railing was partly covered in shade and had a stiff breeze working in its favor. No tablecloths on the grey tables (too windy), but selfies taken in front of the spectacular, panoramic view are a must.
Water, served in pretty purple glasses and melodic electronic music, set a relaxed, cool vibe at Juvia. Menus, made of white washed wood, carried on the sleek, natural theme. A refreshing bottomless mimosa ($23) was ordered as the Miami Dining Examiner and her guest surveyed the menus. On Sunday, there was a regular menu, a Miami Spice menu and a brunch menu.
For Miami Spice, all the offerings are bento boxes. The server at Juvia suggested getting a crudo bento box ($23) with four of their most popular crudos, to split and one entrée bento box each, so that is what was ordered.
On the website Juvia states the dress code as not allowing men to wear shorts, tank tops or flip flops, so the Miami Dining Examiner and her companion wore sun dresses.
"We're overdressed," stated her guest, after surveying other guests around.
While some diners were dressed to the nines at Juvia, others were wearing the forbidden shorts and flip flops, but when dining outside in Miami in August, who can blame them?
The crudos were beautifully and artfully presented in a wooden bento box. The small rock shrimp were swimming in an orange bath of Amarillo sauce, accented with sliced red onion, baby cilantro and crunchy corn kernels. It was delicious. The tuna poke, a tartar with truffle oil and dry miso, was in a cylinder shape and topped with miniscule flowers and scallions. The salmon crudo featured two velvety slices of peach colored salmon, wrapped around something crunchy and slightly sweet (jicama?) and was the Miami Dining Examiner's favorite crudo. The Hamachi espuma had two slices of white fish, with a whipped citrus butter rosette; it was cool, buttery and delectable.
The chicken voudovan in the Miami Dining Examiner's bento box was less successful than the crudo bento box. The chicken, while pungent with spices in a curry sauce, lacked something - acid, salt? It came sliced, with the skin still attached. Jasmine rice, with a little puddle of sauce in the center, a salad and the daily sweet, competed the box. The salad, with baby spinach and roasted cipollini onions and mushrooms, was tasty. The panna cotta, creamy white pudding flecked with vanilla beans and topped with berries, was served in a tiny mason jar with a teeny spoon to scoop it our. Adorable and delicious!
The Miami Dining Examiner's guest got the seared tuna bento box, which she enjoyed. It was five small slices of tuna, with jasmine rice, an avocado and tomato salad and panna cotta.
These are not huge portions. Diners with a big appetite (or thin wallets) probably shouldn't visit Juvia. Lunch for two (including tax and tip) was over a hundred bucks. An 18% gratuity was included on the check and service was tag-team, which doesn't always make for the most gracious service.
On the positive side, the inside bar and dining room at Juvia looked lovely and there's a spot for a DJ to spin techno tunes outside. A neighboring table got oysters (minimum 3 per order), which looked good and Juvia has some varieties (Kumamota and Malpeque) not normally seen in these parts. Perhaps the Korean short ribs bento box would have been a better choice for Miami Spice.
Verdict? The Miami Dining Examiner is glad she finally made it to Juvia. The view was amazing and she would return for the crudos, oysters and panna cotta. Oh, and that bottomless mimosa.

lemon bars
But I haven't had a lemon bar in there before now, despite repeated requests and, heck, even pleading for one by various people inside my computer. You'd think it is because I'm stubborn but it actually that my bar (ha) for lemon bars has been set very high by my mother, who has an award-winning recipe somewhere in her files. Upon request, she sent it to me a couple years ago, but when they didn't come out the way I had remembered, her response was "oh, I must have sent you the wrong one." Tell me, if you had a recipe for lemon bars that you had won you a cooking contest, why would you have a second version in your box that wasn't as good? Perhaps if you ask her, you'll get further than I did.
This about brings us to New Years Eve, when I decided at the very last minute to make lemon bars, and with little time to get my mom to proffer up the correct recipe, went for Ina Garten's widely-praised one instead. Guess what? They were almost as I remembered mom's to be. "Almost." The thing is, and this is really just me being really nit-picky, I have a personal taste for more of a 1:1 ratio between the shortbread base and quick lemon curd on top. The shortbread on these was just fine, but the topping a little… thick. (Also, soft, but I am certain that is because I should have baked it longer, or added an additional large egg.)
Nonetheless, with a few adjustments, I am certain my mother will approve of this recipe. It is tart, intense and deliciously contrasted with the cookie below, really the best of both worlds–and if you close your eyes and concentrate real hard, you might even forget that they're calling for snow next week.
Related to exactly nothing: Why did it take me like five days to post about lemon bars? Because I bought a new computer this weekend and its hard to adjust to writing on a new machine. I'm not used to things being so … pretty. And running so quickly and not crashing a lot. I mean, what's up with that?
One year ago: English Muffins, Everyday Pancakes and Salad Lyonnaise
Lemon Bars
Adapted from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
These are bold and tart lemon bars, ones I feel are best in smaller doses than Ina Garten suggests. I've made a few changes to the recipe–increased the salt in the crust, reduced the sugar in the lemon filling and an encouragement to grease your pan, as mine were all but cemented into their non-stick pan. For those of you who like the 1:1 crust to lemon layer ratio, use the second option.
For the crust:
1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
For the full-size lemon layer:
6 extra-large eggs at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (4 to 6 lemons)
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup flour
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
[Or] for a thinner lemon layer:
4 extra-large eggs at room temperature
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (3 to 4 lemons)
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2/3 cup flour
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking sheet.
For the crust, cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into the greased baking sheet, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill.
Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
For the lemon layer, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour. Pour over the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes (less if you are using the thinner topping), or about five minutes beyond the point where the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.
Cut into rectangles and dust with confectioners' sugar.

What is egoSurf ?
Find your place, know your place™. Take a look at our about page. We've not got a mission statement.
So, how does it work ?
Simple. You enter your name and your blogs web address. We search google and find links to your blog. We calculate your ego ranking.
We show you where your blogs appear in the search engines. Did we mention that we can search in Yahoo, MSN, del.icio.us and Technorati too? Got more than one blog or site? No problem, we can look for lots.
We also keep track of your rankings over time, so you can see how your site moves through the blogosphere. How's this for stroking ?
Hmm, still not quite there ?
Perhaps this will help?
Say, I'm Bill Gates. No, really, just say it. You know, I'd really like to know that if people put "bill gates" into google, they'd find me. Me? Oh, sorry, I mean my sites - www.microsoft.com and www.gatesfoundation.org. So, I'm straight over to egosurf.org for this...
I stick "bill gates" into the search phrase, and "microsoft.com, gatesfoundation.org" into the web resources part. I can stick as many web domains into this box as I like, as long as I seperate them with commas or spaces. Neat, huh? By default, egoSurf will search Google.com for my ego-stroking results, but if I wanted to also search del.icio.us (for example), I just click the "more option" link and select the del.icio.us search engine option.
I click "find your place", and boy, just look at me ...
Why do I need to egoSurf ?
egoSurf helps massage the web publishers ego, and thereby maintain the cool equilibrium of the net itself.
We, the publishers of this here internet thing, need the occasional massage, the odd stroke. We aren't paid. We aren't recognised. Our sites hit count used to be enough, but no longer.
What do I enter as a search term ?
Depends. If it's an ego stroking you're looking for, put your name in. Sometimes it works better with quotes around you name (i.e. "jason hyland"), but it's unlikely thay anyone will do a real search like that.
But you can enter any term you'd like to check out. For example, I blog on a site about the Microsoft Biztalk rule engine, so I'd like to see where I'd come out if someone entered tracing rules execution in google. Am I the "biztalk rules tracing" maestro?
My wife runs a store called cutebox.co.uk, so she wants to see where it appears when people search for cute gifts. If you think about it for a minute, you can egoSurf for lots of stuff.
What do I enter in the "your blog and stuff" ?
This is just a list of your web sites, seperated by commas or spaces. egoSurf checks the search engines results against these addresses to identify a hit or a miss. Of course you don't have to own them.
You often shouldn't enter the sites with the "www." prefix - just the domain part is enough. This allows us to match any subdomains too. Here's a list of valid entries;
We do our best to tell you if you've got it wrong.
What are ego points ?
A highly secretive and complex algorithm developed over months of work, utilising the best mathematics brains in Weston-super-Mare, to calculate the cubic volume (in cm3) of ego contained in your search engine experience.
Don't ask - would you have asked Larry and Sergey about pagerank?
Why are my ego points changing?
We love this planet
We also love egos, but the reality is that they need nurturing and feeding. Over time, without the love and attention they so rightfully deserve, they start to wane. And so it is with your egopoints. No longer can you expect to strut the top of the ego rankings. Oh no.
Egopoints now biodegrade. They have an atomic half-life.
What is a deep search?
Using our patent pending deepthroat™ search technology, we seek deeper than most. Using one degree of separation, we look at each page retrieved by the search engines, and seek out links to your sites.
This deep searching routes out even the most obscure references. Our finely tuned egopoints algorithm is then applied to the search result.
WTF? I got 0 ego points?
Are you a big time zero ? A loser of the highest order ? We wouldn't pass judgement, but there could be a number of reasons whilst your egometer is on empty.
The first culprits are often the domain names or web sites you've provided. Check they are valid. Then check your default search options to make sure you've selected the search engine you're intersted in. If these all look ok, you could try entering your search term in quotes (i.e. "search term"). Try a deep search, as this looks considerably deeper into the web for matches.
If all else fails, well maybe you are a big fat zero after all ?
Alas, some egos cannot be satisfied. If our search engine gets spammed, we start throttling, and then we start suspending. After a while the search terms become available again. So, take a chill pill and try later.
I want more search engines - give me more !We do the big ones - Google, Yahoo, MSN, and we've added del.icio.us and Technorati too. Check out your "more options" under the "find your place™" search button. You can specify which search engines to use and the country version. We are working on adding many more.
This is a great little feature. We provide search histories in RSS 2.0 feeds. Just do a search, then look for the " rss feed" link. Add this to your feedburner.
