toasted coconut shortbread
None of this was necessary. Because I WAS RIGHT! He loves these cookies and he does love coconut when it's not gagging and leathery and did I mention I WAS RIGHT? Because, well, I probably have one or three or a dozen times this week. I'm really fun and mature like that.
This isn't to say that you couldn't make these into sandwich cookies or even cuter, linzer-style hearts if you have two size heart cookie cutters and want a little belly of jam to show through on the top cookie. You could dip a corner of the cookie in melted white or dark chocolate, or both. I even thought about adding lime zest to go with the tropical theme, as lime and coconut were made to be together. But promise me that before you do anything to them, you will try them as they are. Because they're amazing: crispy, buttery, nutty, fragrant and perfectly salted, just the right amount to bring all the flavors into perfect harmony.
Chocolate! Like I was going to leave you chocolate fanatics hanging — it is Valentine's Day week after all. I created an index of all of the chocolate-heavy recipes on this site. Of course, were I to have put together every recipe with any amount of chocolate on this site, well, I may as well have duplicated the entire archives. Instead, I focused on confections where chocolate is the main attraction, or the kinds of things the chocoholic in your life dreams about. [Chocolate Index]
One year ago: Seven Yolk Pasta
Toasted Coconut Shortbread
Adapted from Bon Appetit, April 2004
The original recipe was double this size, yielding six dozen cookies. I halved it.
1/2 cup (about 1.5 ounces) unsweetened shredded coconut*
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks or 6 ounces) unsalted butter, room temperature**
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (Updated: for unsweetened coconut, the smaller amount; sweetened, the larger amount)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread coconut on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until coconut is light golden, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Cool completely, then grind in a coffee grinder, food processor or blender until coarsely ground.
Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until well blended. Mix in salt and vanilla. Beat in flour in 2 additions. Stir in toasted coconut. Gather dough together, flatten into a disc and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 1 hour. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out dough disk on lightly floured work surface to scant 1/4-inch thickness. Using 1 3/4- to 2-inch-diameter cookie cutters, cut dough into rounds. Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Gather dough scraps and reroll; cut out additional cookies.
Bake cookies until light golden, about 20 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool completely. (Can be made ahead. Store airtight at room temperature up to 1 week.)
* I couldn't find unsweetened, so I used sweetened and dialed back the sugar by 2 tablespoons.
** If you're looking for an excuse to splurge on the good butter, shortbread is it. You will absolutely appreciate the extra flavor as it shows up in this cookie.

Cubs, city of Chicago agree on Wrigley Jumbotron
CHICAGO — The proposed modernization of historic Wrigley Field overcame an important hurdle Thursday when the Chicago Cubs and the city reached an agreement allowing the team to build a first-ever electronic Jumbotron and another sign above the ivy-covered outfield walls.
The city's landmarks commission unanimously voted to approve the deal, overcoming opposition from the local alderman and the owners of rooftop businesses who fear their negotiated views of the field will be obstructed.
The matter now goes to the City Council.
The landmarks commission's approval was needed because it must sign off on any changes to historic structures.
Alderman Tom Tunney, whose ward includes Wrigley Field, told the commission that light from the proposed Jumbotron would be seen from blocks away. He asked that its size be reduced.
"I cannot support a proposal that so dramatically affects the quality of life of my residents," Tunney said. "The Cubs often point to large signs at Fenway and U.S. Cellular. Those signs back up to expressways, not people's homes."
The deal would allow the Cubs to erect a 5,700-square-foot Jumbotron in left field of the 99-year-old ball park and a 650-square-foot sign in right field.
Throughout the hearing, commissioners expressed concern that the Cubs were risking changing the ballpark so much that fans would turn away.
"You know you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone sometimes," Commissioner Mary Ann Smith said.
But Michael Lufrano, the Cubs' executive vice president for community affairs, said the team's owners have the biggest incentive of all to make sure fans continue to visit the park.
"We don't want to change it so people won't come," he said.
The agreement, reached after weeks of negotiations, underlines the fact that Wrigley, famous for the storied billy goat curse and Babe Ruth's called home run shot, is unlike any stadium in the United States.
Cubs spokesman Julian Green said the Jumbotron is slightly smaller than what the Cubs initially wanted and the right field sign is significantly smaller. The biggest change is that the Jumbotron would be 95-feet wide instead of 100 feet.
That means rooftop bleachers across the street will have less obstructed views than the original design.
But the question looms if the latest deal will trigger lawsuits from the owners of the rooftops that peek over the outfield walls.

Total Hip Replacement (Right hip)
The Joint Replacement Center at Unity Hospital
"I'm not only walking again. I have played more than one hundred softball games since my surgery two years ago." Because I am so active I originally thought I had pulled a muscle. As the pain persisted I went to a specialist who told me I had lost the cartilage in my hip joint. I also discovered that I was a candidate for a full hip replacement. Another doctor had advised me to wait ten years. I'm 61. I didn't want to spend what might be ten of my most vital remaining years in pain and restricted from what I love to do most. There is too much in life to enjoy for that kind of nonsense. So, with the support of my new surgeon, I prepared for and looked forward to surgery."
"The pre-operative teaching class provided a great way for me to learn about my surgery and my recovery. Because I live alone I needed to develop a plan that would help me care for myself once I returned home. They tailored the information to meet my unique circumstances. Today, I am very active and play softball and tennis. I am pain and restriction free. The expert care, support, and kindness I received at Unity played a vital role in my recovery and my positive mental attitude-encouraging me to live life to the fullest!"

Shirley Temple (also known as Shirley Temple Black) died at the age of 85 at her home in Woodside, Calif., on Feb. 10, 2014. According to an Associated Press report, Temple Black's publicist Cheryl Kagan made the announcement, and said that Temple Black was surrounded by family members and caregivers at the time of her death.
Shirley Temple was considered one of the first child actors to become a global superstar. From 1935 to 1938, her movies were among the decade's biggest hits. She retired from acting in movies at the age of 21, but she appeared on TV over the years as a host and occasional actress. She spent most of the rest of her career as a diplomat and ambassador representing the United States.
Her signature song "On the Good Ship Lollipop" was featured in the 1934 movie "Bright Eyes." Her other best-known movies included "Curly Top," "The Little Colonel" and "The Littlest Rebel."
Temple Black received an honorary Academy Award in 1998, and the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award in 2006.
Temple Black was married to her first husband, John Agar, from 1945 to 1949. They had a daughter named Susan, who was born a year before the marriage ended in divorce.
Temple Black was married to her second husband, Charles Black, from 1950 until his death in 2005. She had two children from that marriage: Lori and Charles.

This paper considers traditional resources and fire management practices of Aboriginal people living in a near-coastal region of western Arnhem Land, monsoonal northern Australia. The data illustrate that before the arrival of Europeans freshwater floodplains and riverine habitats provided the major proportion of food resources over much of the seasonal cycle. By contrast, the extensive lowland woodlands and open forests, the sparser vegetation of the Arnhem Land escarpment and plateau, and the generally small patches of rain forest ("jungle"), provided relatively few resources, although jungle yams were of critical importance through the relatively lean wet season. The paper then considers burning as a management tool through the seasonal cycle. In broad terms, burning commenced in the early dry season and was applied systematically and purposefully over the landscape. Burning in the late dry season was undertaken with care, and resumed in earnest with the onset of the first storms of the new wet season, particularly on floodplains. These general patterns of resource use and fire management are shown to have applied widely over much of near-coastal northern Australia. The implications of these data for prehistory and for contemporary land management practices in the region, are considered. It is suggested that pre-European patterns of fire management in the region are likely to have been practiced only over the past few thousand years, given the development of abundant food resources in the late Holocene. It is shown that traditional burning practice offers a generally useful, conservative model for living in and managing a highly fire-prone savanna environment.

>> Just you.
- May 8, 2012 06:00 PM (GMT)
>> That's going to take a lot of getting used to. You knowing more about me than I do.
>> (I'll survive, though.)
>> Now you're just being maudlin. Plenty of people like you. The redhaired chick seemed PLENTY friendly.
>> ...so I'm guessing the whole 'bros before hos' thing hasn't been working out all that well for you, huh?
- May 8, 2012 07:42 PM (GMT)
>> People are friendly enough, sure.
>> But I just ain't the friend having type.
>> Nope. Been pretty shitty over here.
>> We're heading back.
>> Home.
>> Shit. I should probably text Laura.
>> That makes it even more fucked up.
>> Her and Ro have always been close.
- May 8, 2012 07:51 PM (GMT)
>> If you can make friends with an amnesiac (re-make friends?) surely you can make friends with anyone.
>> Okay, so humour me here, just while I try to get things straight.
>> 'Ro' is your complicated not-woman.
>> Aiden is your friend. The one she loves.
>> Laura is your daughter, who's close with your not-woman.
>> And instead of talking to any of them anymore, you're texting me. The chick who doesn't remember you, but you remember all too much of.
>> ...and I thought MY life was complicated.
- May 8, 2012 08:08 PM (GMT)
>> It's not that. It's me trusting people.
>> I just don't.
>> You though. I do. Know you're good for it.
>> Yes, yes, and yes.

>> And I told Ro what I had to tell her. That I loved her.
>> It's been two days.
>> Haven't heard from her since.
- May 8, 2012 08:11 PM (GMT)
>> Well, you did kind of head straight to Atlantic City.
>> I mean, she still should have called or something, but both of you leaving? Together? I wouldn't know what the hell to do either.
>> You gonna talk to her when you get back?
- May 8, 2012 08:23 PM (GMT)
>> Never said I was the smartest man in the world darling.
>> And I ain't blaming her or anything.
>> She just, I sent her a text to let her know what was up, and I've gotten nothing back.
>> I wish you could know me like I know you.
>> It's so nice to know anyone though. Like this. More than just a couple years of my life.
>> Shitty that I've got to trade it for not being remembered.
>> I'm gonna leave her be.
>> I told her she had to make a choice.
>> And, well, I can't stop thinking about what you said last night.
>> I love her. God knows I do. More than any person I ever have.
>> Or ever will.
>> But maybe loving her isn't the best thing to do.
- May 8, 2012 08:28 PM (GMT)
>> ...you know I'm sorry about that. The not remembering thing.
>> And, honest to God, James, if I can find the people who did this and make them fix me in the head, we can have a solid week of catching up. I swear.
>> But right now, I'm more worried about YOU and this...I don't even know what to call it.
>> I'm no specialist, James. It's not as if I can actually remember what it's like to love someone.
>> It's very easy for an empty person to tell you what to do, but maybe my advice isn't the best.
- May 8, 2012 08:51 PM (GMT)
>> No blame. It's just fucked up. Gain one thing. Loose another.
>> You have any idea how much of my life I've spent looking for these fuckers?
>> Almost as much as I have working for them.
>> Don't know if I wanna waste anymore of what I got left on them.
>> Chuck'll figure out your head.
>> Now that he's back. He'll fix everything.
>> You know what it's like to be loved, though.
>> Empty ain't the right word, sunshine.
>> Even with everything all locked up tight in your head, empty wouldn't be the word I'd use.
>> I just gotta stop being such a pansy about all this mess.
>> What'll happen will happen.
>> And in the end it'll all even out.
>> Always does. Always will.
- May 8, 2012 09:03 PM (GMT)
>> ...hey, James?
>> If it doesn't work out with this woman, or with anything, and you leave.
>> Can I come?
- May 8, 2012 09:05 PM (GMT)
>> That a question you think you need to ask?
>> I've found you again, Carol.
>> After loosing you and myself.
>> Ain't never gonna loose you again.
- May 8, 2012 09:10 PM (GMT)
>> Just checking.
>> It's not as if I belong here, or anywhere really, but you're the next best thing I have to knowing who I am.
>> Guess you'll have to do the remembering for the both of us.
>> Also, no way am I letting anyone called 'Chuck' anywhere near my brain. That's probably similar to how all of this started in the first place.
- May 8, 2012 09:15 PM (GMT)
>> I guess that's another way we're alike.
>> Neither of us really belong anywhere.
>> But I'll always be here for you no matter what.
>> Closer than I have been in the past few days too.
>> We're gonna land in a few. You busy? I bought a stack of Bogart movies at some strip mall in Jersey.
>> Thought we could watch them together.
>> Got your presents, too.
- May 8, 2012 09:18 PM (GMT)
>> I don't know, are you going to be as depressing in person as via text?
>> You need to warn me if you're gonna cry on me or whatever so I can bring kleenex.
>> I only have the one shirt and if you ruin it with your woman-tears, I'm stealing one of yours to make up for it.
- May 8, 2012 09:22 PM (GMT)
>> I save my woman tears for Oreo.

Panama City-- Inmate work programs aren't very common in county jails because inmates are there less than a year. But Bay County jail inmates are getting the opportunity to work, and it's benefiting them as well as taxpayers..
Behind the jail sits two gardens and a greenhouse built and run completely by inmates.
"Our goal here is for everybody to work. You just don't come in and lay up in jail," said Sheriff Frank. McKeithen.
Jack Dean is serving 180 days for passing bad checks. He says working in the jail's garden is therapeutic and gives him something to look forward to.
"Five days a week we usually come out here. Start in the morning and it really does help the day go by," said Jack Dean, an inmate.
The inmates also plant and grow a lot of food. Right now they're working on winter crops. They've got turnips, carrots, onions, collards and a lot of other food growing, too. All of the fresh produce goes straight to the jails kitchen to be served daily to the 900 or so inmates.
The warden estimates the program is saving the county at least $5,000 dollars a month in food costs.
"It's a good incentive for these guys, it's a good incentive for us and everybody wins," said Sheriff McKeithen.
"Our goal is two-fold. It's to teach and give them something to do here that helps them have something productive to do but it's also to teach them when they get out they can grow their own food," said Vocation Instructor, John Nalls.
"I think I'll be able to use it out here. My family bought some land out here so I'll be able to put their land to use and see what I can do out there," said Dean.
The program is funded with inmate welfare funds, not tax dollars. The jail donates excess crops to the Panama City Rescue Mission and local food banks.

Torah Study > Chapter 1: The Call to Action
The primary blessing of the modern world is freedom. And with that freedom we can—more than any other generation in history—remake ourselves every day. Once upon a time, our identity was sealed at birth. We were Jew or Catholic; French or Chinese; rich or poor; free or slave; cobbler or farmer; male or female; red-headed or blonde; healthy or sick.
But today, things are different. We are free (at least in theory) to shape not only our thoughts, speech and action, but our identity as well. And, as almost always is the case with choice, once we have the option to choose, we also have the obligation to choose.
One of the hardest tasks we confront, then, is to respond to this obligation of choice. We must choose which group, which culture, and which identity will be ours, and what we will do in response to that choice. We cannot choose "none of the above" for we can no more be "just human" than we can speak "just language." To talk, we must speak a particular language, with a particular vocabulary and a particular structure which grows out of a particular culture. We develop a special relationship with our language and our culture, and to the others who were likewise raised in it. As it is with language, so it is with identity.
As Jews in America, we have two primary "languages," two identities, two cultures: Jewish and American. Often these cultures overlap and reinforce each other. Other times they don't. The question for us is: how do we negotiate this bi lingualism? Given a world of choice, why should we continue to choose to be Jews? And when? If Jewish and American values either clash or are motivated by different impulses, how shall we choose between them? As Jews, how should we negotiate the tug of particularism with the demand of universalism? In the world of social action and social justice that we will be exploring together, the questions become even more nuanced.
The framing exercise and five texts presented below explore social action as a core Jewish imperative.
Text 1: To Work and to Tend (Genesis, Ch. 2)
introduces the biblical understanding of the purpose of humanity , a profound idea which serves as a foundational pillar of Jewish ethical teachings.
Text 2: Behold My Works! (Kohelet Rabbah) further develops the concept of humanity's responsibility to care for and preserve the world.
Text 3: Being for Myself (Mishna, Avot 1:13) highlights the tension between the global responsibility--looking outward beyond oneself--and the need for individuals to focus also on their own personal situation.
Texts 4 & 5: The Poor in Your Land (Deuteronomy 15:11, Maimonides "Laws of the Gifts to the Poor" 7:13) addresses one of the practical challenges of responding to obligations and suggest a hierarchy of responsibilities to which individuals can respond.
Text 6: Creation as Perfect and Imperfect (Alon Goshen-Gotteschien) challenges us to assimilate two perspectives of the world which are somewhat in tension and to let each view inspire us and drive us toward action.
Share the previous paragraph with students and have them reflect on the following questions.
> When in your life do you feel a sense of obligation? To whom are you obligated? What do you feel obligated to do? What makes you feel obligated in general?
Introduce students to the phrase, "universe of obligation"--referring to the idea of considering , all at once, our varied obligations and all of the people or groups to whome we feel obligated.
> How do you prioritize the categories which exist in this "universe?" Are all of your obligations equally important or equally demanding? What are the principles by which you rank your obligations?
> Do you have an obligation to engage in social action? If so, what is the source of your obligation? Where does it come from? If not, why might you choose to engage in social action?
> Either way, who are you when you act? Which culture(s) and which value(s) are motivating you to act?
> Do you (or should you) act as a Jew engaged in social action or as American? What is the difference? Can you be both?
> Do you have an obligation to engage in social action? If so, what is the source of your obligation? Where does it come from? If not, why might you choose to engage in social action?
> Either way, who are you when you act? Which culture(s) and which value(s) are motivating you to act?
> Do you (or should you) act as a Jew engaged in social action or as American? What is the difference? Can you be both?

text: After devastating fire, The Petfinder.com Foundation grant helps 100 dogs Posted on Oct 20 , 2010 by Lisa, Petfinder Foundation executive director Print Home > Blog > Animal welfare > After devastating fire, The Petfinder.com Foundation grant helps 100 dogs Tags: disaster preparation, petfinder.com foundation Ellen is at The Humane League of Lancaster County in Lancaster, PA. Together with our partners, The Petfinder.com Foundation is constantly awarding grants to shelters and rescue groups to assist with disaster recovery. While these disasters vary in size, financial needs, and impact, I am always amazed at what effort these groups go to to help save the lives of homeless pets. The staff and volunteers at the Pennsylvania-based Humane League of Lancaster County in Pennsylvania are no different. Recently, fellow Pennsylvania rescue Plain and Fancy Animal was completely destroyed by a house fire, due to electrical issues. The family was burdened was not only the loss of their home, but the loss of their shelter and home to the 40 dogs that were housed there. While this alone would be no small tragedy, Plain and Fancy Animal was also in the process of assisting with rescuing dogs from a nearby raided puppy mill, bringing the number of homeless dogs to 100. Luckily, they had Denise Bash with Animal Lifeline on their side. Because of Denise, The Petfinder.com Foundation was put in touch with The Humane League of Lancaster County to assist with the recovery efforts of the stranded dogs. The Humane League of Lancaster County was awarded a $10,000 disaster grant to assist with the medical needs, spay/neuter requirements, vaccinations and transport of these dogs to a safer place. Thanks in part to the grant, The Humane League of Lancaster County is able to treat these dogs by improving the quality of their health before finding them forever homes. This donation not only helps the dogs, it also gives the rescuers of Plain and Fancy Animal the time they need to recover from the tragedy. This disaster grant comes from a very generous gift from The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation, who join us in our belief that no adoptable pet should be euthanized for lack of a good home. I, along with the whole staff at the Petfinder.com Foundation, would like to extend a very special thank you for your dedication to the Petfinder.com Foundation and homeless pets!

Wining an outrun
Once you have found an opponent to outrun with, get in front of the opponent and get in the lead. Get as far as possible until the distance meter has reached its limit. If the distance meter starts to drop, it indicates that the opponent is catching up. When this happens, do a handbrake skid and turn the car around. Go back the way that you came from. The opponent will follow you as you are the one in lead, but he will take time to catch up, giving you an advantage to win the outrun.
Easy NOS recovery
To get lots of NOS easily, when you are standing still hold hand brake [R]. Next, hold the gas then hold [Left] or [Right]. You should spin around and create smoke. This should give you 300 points instantly to recover turbo boost.

Easier turns in URL races
Notice that before the sharp turns during the URL races, there are a set of numbers that countdown to 1. Follow those numbers to perfect your sharp turn into a groove to speed through faster. Keep accelerating until you reach "1", then slam on the brakes and turn. Once perfected, this can help you get through the turns with more speed.
Taking a nice photo shoot
Once you are in the photo shoot area, press [B], hold your hand brake [R], then rev the engine and press either [Left] or [Right]. The car should do donuts. While it is doing this, take the photo. This will give a smoky look on your wheels in the picture.
Keep other vinyls plus unique
Enter the graphics shop and put whatever vinyls you desire on the car and leave one space open. Exit and pay for it, then renter the shop. Put the unique vinyl that you desire in the empty slot. The shop will only show the unique, but when you leave the shop all the other vinyls will still be on the car, plus your unique.
Fast Start
As soon as the animation of the cars pulling up to the line is over hold A and hit up then down on the thumb stick. Let go of A and slam the R trigger down to get you motor rev'ing. If you've done the trick right you'll be put "back on the track" about 10 feet in front of the three other cars, and can take off at full speed. You'll get a head start bonus, and more importantly a GREAT head start! This trick only works on U.R.L., Sprint, and Circut races. It will put you off to the side if you are in the first starting position.

TC TO JAMES JOHNSTON; 8 July 1823; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18230708-TC-JJ-01; CL 2:394-396.
Kinnaird House, 8th July, 1823.
My dear Johnston,
The appearance of this letter will cause you some surprise, and the contents of it some more. I purpose seeing you in three days! The Bullers and I have entered into arrangements, whereby I am to have a month's vacation; I set out on the evening of next Friday, and the following forenoon I expect, if all suit rightly, to be in Broughty-ferry. You will therefore hold forthwith a council of ways and means; take your Landlady to task, and see if it be in her power to furnish me with a perfectly quiet dormitory for two successive nights, and if so you have nothing farther to do but sit quietly in your place till I arrive by the earliest Steamboat from Perth on Saturday morning. If otherwise, or if you cannot be at home, or have any lawful excuse, let me know instantly, and I shall proceed towards Edinr without deflecting from my course, and thence to Annandale, where I shall expect to see you before returning. Mark only that you have not a minute to lose, if you would forbid my approaches: I set out on Friday, and if you miss a single post, I come down to Broughty-ferry, and "witness only huge dismay."1 Write to me therefore if I must not come—the very moment you have done reading this. verbum sapieenti [a word to the wise]!2 I need add no more on that point.
This departure is speedier than I anticipated. I have been myself impelled to hasten it by the very infirm state of my outward man, which I hope to get improved when I have nothing else to attend to in our native country. My health has been quite capricious, since I came hither; I have hardly slept soundly two nights in succession, I grew vexed and desperate, there were symptoms of approaching coma. Had you see what choice spirits I was in! There is not such another stumulus3 in nature as bile. Now however I am growing better and duller. Sort out all your stock of domestic intelligence to be set before me cut and dry when I arrive; you will find me a very patient and not uninterested hearer. I have somewhat to tell you and much to learn.
With the prospect of communicating verbally with you, for the space of six and thirty hours, so soon, it were worse than useless to detain you at present. Allow me therefore to lay by my quill-stump, having first subscribed myself with it,
Most sincerely your's, /
Thomas Carlyle.
Here is a cooplet or two from Goethe to fill up the sheet. The subject is Italy; the singer Mignon, a poor little girl stolen from wealth and splendour in that country while yet almost an infant, and carried by rope-dancers into Germany, where she thus expresseth her vague recollections of that magnificent region, about which her thoughts are ever occupied tho' she cannot name it, being a young child of very few words. Mignon singeth to Wilhelm and playeth on the cithern:

"Lucky to have been where I have been; lucky to be coming home again." -Colbie Caillat and Jason MrazAmsterdam, Fall 2009
When I began this blog back in mid-August, I offered the confession that I wanted to "feel things." Perhaps you found this sentiment to be rather romantic, too light and lyrical to be sincere. I could be just one more person echoing empty vowels, only I possess the ability to string together all the right words and phrases to tug on the proper heartstrings. I suppose you'd be right on all accounts. I've a flair for melodrama and it shows in my writing; I am convinced that life only holds interest in the light of tragedy and I have a predilection for immeasurable grieving. However, as I find sorrow sink into my bones as surely as the snow falls upon my front lawn, I turn to the Moleskine City Notebook that I mentioned in the aforementioned entry. As I open the book to relive these memories, I trace the Sylvia Plath quote that I wrote weeks before I even left for my grand adventure, "And what if the sky here is no different / And it is my eyes that have been sharpening themselves?" As I stare out my window, where SUVs drive past instead of intercity trains on their way to Maastricht and the loudest noises I hear walking down Main Street in my small town are children's laughter, I feel myself more acutely aware of how easy it is to live as though you are merely going through the motions than I ever was before. Though I cannot say that my return invigorates me, instills a life in me that Amsterdam did, I am still awed by how many simplistic gestures and how many small, taken for granted acts of kindness there are in the world. And while my limbs feel awkward and weak in the sluggish mood that characterizes my sleepy town, I know that I will eventually reclaim my previous stamina and recapture the invigorating passion for life that I cultivated while in Amsterdam. Someday, hopefully a day sometime soon, happiness will not be contingent on where I am, who I'm with, or what I'm doing. And maybe, just maybe, I will be able to claim a slice of bliss for myself in this wintry Midwestern town. I would like to offer one last quote from Revolutionary Road, similar to how I began this blog all those months ago. At one point, April Wheeler tells her husband, "It takes backbone to lead the life you want." Those words have resonated so deeply in me as I've settled back into life in the United States. It would be all too simple to slip into life as it once was, to pretend as though I haven't changed. But if these four months have taught me anything, anything at all, it would be that happiness does not happen; it requires work. It requires risk. And yes, in some cases, even some sacrifice. My time has also rejuvenated me with energy when I once thought I was permanently fatigued, reminded me of all the things worth living for, striving for, dying for. This will resonate with me for the rest of my life and I could never be more grateful. This chapter is closed, but my story is not yet finished. Thank you for following me on my semester of self-discovery in Amsterdam and beyond. I hope every experience that you seize in life, big or small, sharpens your eyes to the world and its possibilities even just a fraction more. All the best, Joy

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) -- Shut down their leading scorer and take
them out of their free-throw game -- No. 14 Texas Tech's successful
formula Saturday night in downing Maine 60-50 in the first round of
the NCAA tournament.
Alesha Robertson scored 16 points to lead Texas Tech and Casey
Jackson added 13 points and 12 rebounds while helping hold Maine's
leading scorer, Heather Ernest, to just three points on 1-of-9
"When you shoot 1-for-9, that's not pretty," Ernest said.
"They're very physical and everywhere I turned there seemed to be
somebody else guarding me."
Texas Tech (25-7), which will play fifth-seeded Louisiana Tech
in the second round of the Mideast Regional, used a series of short
runs and rarely allowed Maine (25-7) any second-chance baskets.
Maine guard Missy Traversi scored a season-high 20 points,
including a three-point play with 13:45 remaining to end an 8-1
Tech run and pull Maine to 39-33.
A putback by Traversi with 11:44 remaining pulled Maine to
41-38, but Tech used a 6-0 run to take a 47-38 lead on a basket
Jolee Ayers-Curry with 5:38 remaining.
Maine couldn't get any closer than six points the rest of the
"I thought it was a great competitive basketball game," said
Marsha Sharp, Texas Tech coach. "Exactly what you'd expect in the
NCAA tournament."
She said her team looked like it had been off for 10 days and
played just one game in two and a half weeks. "I'm proud of the
way we hung in there and made plays when we had to."
Maine coach Sharon Versyp said she was proud of the team effort.
"We just didn't get over the hump. We played hard and had great
opportunities. I give all the credit to Texas Tech."
Maine was the nation's eighth-ranked team in free throw shooting
going in but was just 10-of-18 against Texas Tech.
"It was very frustrating. I've talked all year about how you
don't want to lose a game at the free throw line. I've said it 32
times, and it finally got us," Versyp said.
She also said the effort to control Ernest was stellar.
"Heather has played against double, triple, quadruple teams, but
tonight it was very unfortunate for her and us."
Davis held Ernest, the two-time America East Conference player
of the year, scoreless in the first half.
Monica Peterson added 15 points and nine rebounds for Maine,
which trailed 29-25 at halftime.
LaToya Davis added 11 points and seven rebounds for Texas Tech.
Texas Tech guard Brooke Baughman had seven assists, including a
pass to Chesley Dabbs, whose basket with 1:05 remaining in the
first half put Tech up 29-23.

UMass Postgame Notes at Northeastern
Dec. 4, 2012
* UMass has won five consecutive road games dating back to the postseason NIT run last year. The last time they won 5-consecutive true road games was in 1997-98 season when Bruiser Flint's second team reeled-off seven-consecutive in opposing arenas.
* UMass led 30-29 at the half and is now 3-0 this season when leading at the break.
* The game's 7 ties and 11 lead changes are the most in a UMass contest this season.
* Sampson Carter made his first start of the season and 23rd of his career. It was his first start since the 2010-11 season. The lineup of Williams, Morgan, Putney, Vinson and Carter was the third different lineup this season.
* Nine of the 10 players who dressed for the Minutemen had played by the 10-minute mark of the first half.
* UMass shot .471 pct from the floor for its second-best shooting game of the season (.508 vs. Providence). Additionally, the .350 effort from outside on 7-of-20 was the second-best effort from outside this year (.375 vs. NC State).
* The defensive effort was among the best all seasons, with Northeastern's .353 overall shooting and .111 3-point shooting the lowest by a UMass opponent in both categories all season.
* Chaz Williams finished with 18 points for his seventh double-figure game this year and 56th in his career.
* Jesse Morgan also had 18 points to share game-high honors with Williams. He was 4-of-7 from outside, including 4-of-6 in the second half. He made his last four triples, accounting for 12 of 13 during a four-minute stretch when UMass was playing from behind late in the second half.
* Carter had a season-high 14 points on 3-of-5 from the floor and 8-of-10 at the free throw line in a career-high 34 minutes. His free throw numbers tied his career-high for both makes and attempts set against Maine on Dec. 8, 2010. His last double-figure scoring game (12 pts.) came against Northeastern last season.
* Maxie Esho finished with a team-high nine rebounds - one shy of his career-high set at Siena last Wednesday. He also played 29 minutes for a new career-high after 28 on Saturday against Miami (Fla.).

2013 NCBWA Freshman All-American Team
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama freshman relief pitcher Ray Castillo (Seale, Ala.) was named a 2013 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Freshman All-American. Castillo garnered second team honors when the team was announced on Monday.
Castillo had an outstanding freshman season for the Crimson Tide, posting a 2-3 record with 12 saves and a 3.38 ERA. He finished the season with a team-high 26 appearances, totaling 42.2 innings pitched, all out of the bullpen. He finished the season with 43 strikeouts, to average 1.0 strikeouts per inning, which was the second best average on the squad.
A total of 32 standout freshmen college baseball players from every part of the country are featured on the 2013 NCBWA Freshman All-American Team, representing 15 conferences.
Castillo converted 12-of-15 save opportunities in 2013 to set the Alabama freshman single season record for saves with 12. He tied for the third most saves in a single season at the Capstone, and the 12 saves rank ninth in the Alabama career record books.
Castillo's longest outings of the season came when he threw 4.1 innings against Tulane (March 3) and at Mississippi (April 14). He earned his second win of the season following his performance against Tulane, when he had a season-high six strikeouts, allowing one run on one hit. His 4.1 innings at Mississippi resulted in his first loss of the year as the Tide fell to the 18th-ranked Rebels in extra innings.
In his first career game, Castillo threw 3.1 innings against VMI, recording five strikeouts to earn the win his the Tide's first game of the season. He also had a five-strikeout game against LSU on April 20, when he threw 4.0 innings against the Tigers.
This marks the second freshman All-American honor for Castillo, who was also selected as a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American. Castillo was also named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman team.

Could I ask you why I'm naive?
It's not like I've lived in a bubble my whole life and haven't had to challenge many assumptions/observations about that life along the way, as I was and as I am now.
In my 20s, I imagine I may have found myself agreeing with many of the assertions you make....
But something changed inside of me and grew.
So I don't really like the naive comment man.... it's starting to get into the dig area, as opposed to making a comment and explaining what you meant, which is why I am asking you now, cause I know you aren't making a dig at me.
What if I were to say as a cynical person who has found renewed hope in my life, that you're way were naive and didn't leave much room for the mystery of life to live in?
I keed....
But please.... tell me why I'm naive,
in your view.
Naive=stupid/foolish as I've heard it used most and I hope that isn't what you are saying.

The First Car Talk Poetry Reading
One could rightfully imagine that Car Talk inspires all sorts of reactions in our listeners, such as finding something better to listen to, getting that CD player repaired and firing off an expletive-packed letter to the president of National Public Radio.
But Car Talk inspiring poetry? Apparently so.
Almost every week, it seems, someone gets struck by an overwhelming hankering to put quill to parchment, and combine carburetor and verse.
Here, then, are the best of an eclectic assortment of car poetry, recorded and masterfully produced by our crack engineer, Dennis "The Menace" Foley, and read by the assorted staff and lackeys over at WBUR in Our Fair City.
Hear Tommy read the famed ode to his dearly departed '63 Dodge Dart, entitled "Objet D'art," by Charlie Boyd.

Some thoughts from a kitty's perspective
it is like a dream!February 9th 2011 1:54 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ]
Hey we are back! The Dad & Momma moved Nana completely out last weekend. All that is left is some cleaning up & hoping someone will buy a cute little trailer reeeeaaaly fast. I do feel kinda bad for Momma, cause there is soo much stuff. EVERYWHERE. It has been easier to bring it here, then Nana goes through it, and hopefully gets rid of stuff....which is a big hopefully. It is hard to do, but there is only so much room...and Nana has to be persuaded a little bit that we do not really need 5 roaster pans, but in the meantime, there are tons of boxes to climb on! oh I love to climb & poke around in everything. Mom came downstairs to work, and there I was all the way on top crammed in the corner smiling like the Cheshire cat! We missed everyone so much on Catster, so we will be trying to catch up as much as possible! Purrs!

Mom says you have her complete sympathy about going through your Nana's stuff. Grandmother passed away at the age of 91 in October of last year. Mom is trying to work her way through tons of stuff that Grandmother felt was "absolutely esential" to Grandmother's survival and security (in other words a lot of junk.)
You're right, the boxes are great to climb on but Mom really would to be able to move more stuff. Mom's taking it just one day at a time (more like 15 minutes)and carting as much as she can to Uncle's. There's so much that is of absolutely no value. Mom's actually muttering about getting a dumpster so she can just toss stuff in and forget about it.
Give your parents an extra measure of love and Nana too. They're sure to need it.
Purrs for your heart check-up!
Maybe you could have a Yard Sale,& use the proceeds for Kitty Treats!
Good luck on your ultrasound. Dad has a similar problem as Tia's mom. His mom has too much stuff! She's still around but refuses to get rid of it. Dad jokes that when it's her time to go (which hopefully won't happen for a long long time) there will be one dumpster and one truck for Disabled American Veterans in the driveway (and both will have to make multiple trips).
We're happy Nana is moved in and settled. It must have been tough. Still a few covert calls to a local charity wouldn't hurt. If you're caught, tell Nana about the people out there who need help. If that doesn't work, say she can laugh at you, guilt free, if you ever do need 5 roasting pans.

Country fair held at Frampton Hall, Gloucestershire.
First a designer, then an art director, both in advertising and publishing, now a painter. My books are currently a way of publishing to my friends the stuff they never get to see, and paintings they can't afford. Current books are themes that occur in my paintings, Erik for instance was from a set produced in Crete. Inspired buy the writings and characters of Linear A and B I have woven them into a myth story of a lost god. The travel books expose my love of photography. I hope they provide a valuable insight to places, cultures and people that expand our understanding of others.

Try our new Man of the Match feature at the Spurs clash
- 22 November 2013 12:54
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
Take your seat early ahead of the Spurs clash to experience some great entertainment and get the atmosphere pumping.
We're trialling a brand new feature so you can have your say on who you think deserves the Man of the Match award. To vote, simply text "MOTM the player's shirt number and your name" to 60070. For example, to vote for Yaya text "MOTM 42 Smith" and you'll receive an SMS confirmation that your choice has been registered.
Or you can use twitter to cast your vote by tweeting hash tag motm followed by the player's surname, with no spaces eg. "#motmtoure".
The final result will be announced on the big screens at the end of the game so keep your eyes peeled!
The wifi has been a big success so far, but the name is changing. To take advantage of the free stadium wifi, simply search for O2 wifi.
Before the game, Vincent Kompany will be pitchside to present Mike Doyle's 1969 FA Cup medal to Doyle's grandson, Thomas, who plays in City's Academy. The medal is being inducted into the Stadium and Club Tour as part of a tribute to the City legend.
We're also paying tribute to the fans, with an inspiring video in the lead up to kick off, as well as giving supporters the chance to shout out messages to the team on the big screen.
One lucky fan will also be given the chance to go head to head with the players to test their football knowledge via the video boards. If you fancy your chances, head down to BT City Square before the game and we could pick you!
Jason Manford will be singing Blue Moon before kick off, and you'll be able to hear more from the comedian when he is interviewed pitchside at half time ahead of his UK tour which reaches Manchester Phones 4 U Arena on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 December 2013.
There's plenty more to keep you entertained during the break too – the lucky winner of our Etihad competition to win a holiday to Abu Dhabi will be announced on the big screens.
If you want to be in with a chance, check out the entry details here.
There's also a Santa Suit relay race going on with a prize of a signed shirt up for grabs.
Sunday's clash could prove crucial in the Premier League race, so take your seat early and raise the roof!

Illegally downloaded music has been a part of the music industry for over a decade and at one point or another everybody seems to have partaken in it. Even if you always pay for music, I am sure you have browsed your friend's music and copied some of it to add to your own collection. And while it may seem like musicians are as rich as ever, those success stories are only a small fraction of the many people attempting to make a living as a musician, most are still struggling.
Unfortunately, paying for something that you know you could just as easily find for free is hard to justify, no matter how long your conscious may be. Luckily, Noise Trade, a website I recently discovered (although it began several years ago), has found a solution that settles your conscious and saves you some money.
Noise Trade has an entire library of music from musician you many know or not know that downloads in seconds at a price you choose. While they are not the first to use this model to pay for music, they have an unbeatable selection and easy to use interface. Beyond the moral benefits I feel when using Noise Trade, I love hunting for and discovering new artists or finding music I never new existed from some of my favorite, more established musicians. I also love the pride I get in finding a musician before they get really big or introducing friends to a great new band. Here are some of my favorite artists I have discovered on Noise Trade.
Where do you download music?

Secrets of Success
Meals and Memories
Tuesday, April 02, 2013
I do enjoy food - which is why it's hard to lose weight. It's not just the food, though - it's the company. Jesus asks us to remember Him when we eat and drink - and eating and drinking with loved ones is a time for building good memories. I was reloading photos from my mission trip to Peru in the summer of 2007 - you can see my weight was pretty good and I hadn't begun to color my hair yet. I found a lot of pictures of meals with friends.
While in Iquitos I took "my boys" Esli and Abel to various places on free evenings. I forget the name of this restaurant in the neighborhood of The Boulevard, but they have a very nice ambience, as well as good food.
See the nicely polished column of natural wood?
At The Yellow Rose in the Plaza de Armas, I ordered each of us a different dinner, and we split them 3 ways so we could each try some of everything. This is a fish dinner I'm cutting up.
Esli has the plate of barbecue beef - generous portion!
Guido, a brother from the village of Manacamiri whom I met in 2003, met us at this ice cream parlor at the Plaza de Armas. The ice cream in Peru isn't as good as ours - so it wasn't so much of a temptation!
My friend Marleni (left) brought me to visit other intercessor sisters. Here, Consuelo and her husband share a lunch of fish - another reason it's easier for me to lose weight on missions!
The delightful park of Quistococha near Iquitos features a restaurant besides its botanical garden, zoo, and manmade lake for swimming.
After the church service at Nueva Vision (pastored by my fianc�'s cousin!)I wanted to take the musicians out for dinner. We went to El CArbon.
Now, I didn't get to partake of this dish, but I did learn that my Levi can cook - he and Abel made "Tacacho", a dish made from plantains, boiled, mashed, formed into a ball, and - I dunno if it's baked or fried after that. But it has a nutty taste.
I treated Abel, Foreman and his wife Yeli to dinner at the Yellow Rose.
Foreman, Yeli and I went to this floating restaurant where we met up with the director of JuCUM (YWAM - Youth With A Mission). It was good, but WAY expensive - more for "rich" American tourists than the local populace. I paid Foreman and Yeli's, needless to say!
Here we are with the Barnards at that restaurant.
One of the most popular "pollerias" in Iquitos is Kikiriki (the Spanish version of Cocka-doodle-doo), frequented after evening church services. Here Abel and I enjoy a quiet hunk of rotisserie chicken, fries, and cole slaw.
Another intercessor, Brigida, invited me to lunch.
That's me in the pink top with the little pink flower - Yeli had done up my hair - after my last night visiting Nueva Vision - again, at Kikiriki.
And that's just in IQUITOS, not to mention in Lima and Chiclayo! Maybe I'll mention them tomorrow!

Thanks for sharing the pics. I still remember and treasure all of the meals I shared with my family while I was growing up. My family is far away from me now and I wish I could have more meals with them now. Hopefully this summer!

Wow Shel!
Thanks for sharing these. they brought a smile to my face and memories of my own back...
It's not "just" the food but the company that makes such awesome and treasured memories. A "so-so" meal shared with a friend or loved one is made more special.
All those "fish" meals makes me want some! I'll pick up some salmon filets when at Wal-Mart tomorrow. I still have my wonderful Tilapia in the freezer as well. I'll think of YOU...when I have my fish dinner!

You may also try checking the community to see if your question has already been answered:
Be sure to check out our knowledgebase for answers to common questions.

NetBSD has a shipped web server name bozohttpd (http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?httpd++NetBSD-current).
Your task this time is to write a cgi in C which uses libsoldout (http://fossil.instinctive.eu/libsoldout/index) to create a wiki that runs locally on your webserver. Then, this cgi just parses the markdown to html and resolves the links right, such that you can browse a local wiki (e.g. the NetBSD one) without having to parse everything to HTML and leave it as such in the file system.
So mainly you have to write a CGI which uses the mkd2html parser from libsoldout, but does the links right. You also have to consider the links written as [[Linkname]] which are often used internally in wikis.
mkd2html: http://fossil.instinctive.eu/libsoldout/artifact/fd100c723c722189d62fd9bf261d67db69240043
As the parsing itself is rather small, you should provide a small tutorial, or rather a complete setup which already runs this cgi with bozohttpd. You can use the test virtual machines from ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/GCi to provide such a setup.
Optimally, you would make everything as easy as possible, also delivering a bozohttpd configuration to run the cgi directly. The user should not have to set up much to get this running, but rather only start one script and then point his web browser to localhost to make it run.

I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to wmzhere. You have 168 hours to complete this task, good luck!
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
There are some things about the cgi I would do in a different way like the directory structure, or which are not fully usable yet (like the show source option).
But you solved the task, and in an excellent way. Thank you very much!
I know you showed interest in other tasks as well. If you want, you could still do the documentation browser, but I still think its outside the scope of GCi, and we have to think more about its design than just starting with it. But if you want to write such a thing, just tell us, and we can create an appropriate task.
Anyway, the cgi is a great help!
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
Hi Jullian,
Thank you for your acceptance. I could have done it better if I had more time. I will take a crucial exam this week, and I need time to review my lessons. :(
I planned to add user system, page management, remote management API, media manager, and i18n support. But I dont have enough time to implement it. I even thought of writting a customized httpd to hold cache in memory for performance.
I thought quite a lot before starting. Originally I preferred to use a database to store data. But using the database engine requires adding a management interface, and the safety needs more attention. So I turned to directory structure, which is safe and extremely easy to extend: just place whatever you want in the same directory.
As for the "View Source", this page will be an editor for the management page later, simply for time, too. I developed a flexible navigation bar system but I didn't make full use of it. Did you see the nav bar of "Special:Viewsrc" has a customized "Action" group? I'm using this as an example for the nav bar system.
I still have a strong interest in the browser project. And I will follow your suggestions, focus on GCi first.
BTW, I have to pause participating GCi for a week because of the exam. I'll be back and contact you the next week.
Finally, thank you again for your time and guidance. :)

Another FTM question here. In the past four days or so my DS's diapers leak probably 80% of the time, usually up the back but sometimes from the side. It doesn't seem to matter how often I change him - last night he peed 5 minutes after his last change and it leaked everywhere. I've tried both the Huggies and Pampers newborn sizes and still get leaks. I read somewhere to try going up a size but that didn't help either. I've been pulling the tabs as tight as I dare in the front and I'm always careful to make sure his penis is pointing down, so I'm out of ideas. Last night I had to change his clothes and bedding three times and then again this morning so I'm getting really frustrated.
Help - Newborn diapers leaking constantly
I agree with making sure the flaps around his legs are out. take your finger after you have strapped on the diaper and put it on the side of the leg of the diaper and swing it around halfway in the diaper all the way around the leg pulling out the sides as far as it will go AND make sure the back of the diaper is up high enough tooand not folded over/under in the back. Plus move him up a size. How old is he. My son is 16.9 lbs and we will be moving him into size three diapers when we run out of the twos. I have always had to move my kids up a diaper size about 2 lbs before the lb limit on the box. So for example the size two pampers go to 18 lbs I should have moved him up at 16 lbs but I don't want to waste the diapers so we are going to stretch them until they are gone. I hope that helps

I agree check the side flaps. Also...you shouldn't expect to only change a diaper a few times. Babies are constantly drinking. It will help if you change diapers every time they are wet instead of letting them pee 3 times in it before you decide to change it.
He's just over a week old and weighed 7 lbs 1 oz at birth. He hasn't been weighed since his last appointment at 5 days old but I'd say he's still a smidge over or under 7lbs right now.
You could cover the diapers with a cloth diaper cover (like bummis super brite) that can be wiped out in between uses.

With my son he wet all over all the time for the first two weeks, I could't figure it out (my first was a girl) so maybe it is just a newborn boy thing!! I pointed him down every time too. It got better after the first few weeks and he is now 3 months and started having blow outs EVERY time he pooped, we switched to cloth diapers (something I said I'd never do!) a week ago and haven't had any issues since! It is funny cuz I deal with less poop cloth diapering it seems, with all of the blowouts and messy clothes, couch, boppy, bedding etc. with the disposables!
Is he still healing from a circ? Are you putting petrolium jelly on his penis while it heals? This always made my boy's dipes leak in the beginning!
Good Luck!
Both of my boys had this problem. It only last a couple weeks and went away. I couldnt figure out anything to stop it.

Nope, he's not circ'ed.
I just changed him and as usual there was a puddle under his right hip. When I put the new diaper on the left ruffle was out but I had to work at the right one to pull it out all the way. So I'm hoping that's the problem after all.
He was wearing a size 1 Huggies and there was hardly any pee in it (the indicator line was mostly yellow) so I don't think he's overloading them.

It's not that you don't have a steady hand. It's more that you simply have no idea what you're doing when it comes to applying eyeliner. The Eyeliner Assistant ($4) saves the day (and your face, for that matter). Seriously. If you think showing up to an interview, first date, or meeting with the in-laws with sloppy eyeliner is going to earn you bonus points, you've got another think coming.
