The treatment review
You will be treated to a warm face neck and shoulder massage to lull you into that truly medative state that only LaStone can create, before being gently turned on your side and cocooned within warm basalt stones and blankets. Your therapist will skilfully insert the ear candle into the ear canal which is then lite and burnt down to the crucial safety line. The treatment is performed in silence, to allow the maximum benefits' to be gained, against the subtle music and burning oils to create a sense of peace, calm and tranquillity, know to the spa at Holbeck Ghyll nestled within the fells over looking Windermere. A vacuum is created as the smoke travels down the candle lining which creates a vibration on the ear drum and the magic begins! (So they say!) This is carried out on both ears and then you are gently returned to lie on your back while cool marble and crystal wands are massaged around your face and neck, to subtly bring you back to earth! This also helps to drain away congestion released from the warm basalt and candling experience.
All this for only £60.50 taken over a 50 minute treatment time.

Here is the second part of the interview with the ESET Cyber Security experts and high school student winners of the San Diego Mayors' Cyber Cup competition at UCSD in March attending Cyber Boot Camp at ESET this past week June 16-20. This Cyber training comes amidst the announcement that Medtronic Inc., the world's largest independent medical device producer has announced a cyber attack from a suspected Asian group in a regulatory filing on Friday.
This year's Cup brought strong and impressive high school students with focus and computer ability to meet the challenges in the future such as the Medtronic cyber attack. The top three teams have spent five days at the ESET North American headquarters in San Diego at a Cyber Boot Camp where they are learning from top cyber security experts.
Liz Fraumann is the Executive Director of the Securing Our eCity Foundation which is focused on cybersecurity awareness, education and preparation for business and individuals. Before taking on the Foundation leadership she was the Director of Marketing at ESET North America.
Fraumann spoke about the number one issue of why there is a cyber security problem and computer systems at risk. She stated that the problem begins with the "human element". It is the person at the keyboard controlling phishing and opening a computer system up to virus attempts. She calls this the "PCAD" syndrome, the "person at the computer desk."
Securing Our eCity Foundation provides education on how to prevent a cyber attack, how to respond to attacks and how to be preventive in actions and proactive in handling security policies and practices.
Her very extensive background in computer systems and development brought to her the common sense element of train people properly and develop trained professionals early on in the student years. She stated that it is, "critical to the infrastructure of a community" to bring not merely local policy in line with computer defense but a coordinated national policy with extension to an international community. Medtronic demonstrates this need but will not release a statement regarding the details of the cyber attack.
Liz's mindset is that, "it is STEM improvement in education for our leaders of tomorrow." Liz has a vision in building the young leaders of tomorrow by increasing awareness of this Cyber Cup and Cyber Boot Camp to the various groups such as girl scouts, school computer clubs and community computer programs.
Lysa Meyers another Security Research expert at ESET and working with the students in Boot Camp this past week said that, "Education in technology and specifically in security is such an important and frequently overlooked thing! I'm shocked how few opportunities are out there for kids."
She found when researching an article a few months ago about the lack of computer education in K-12 school in the US, she was totally floored by how many hoops kids have to jump through to learn about technology. That's part of why she is so glad to be part of CBC: "We're helping kids get through those hoops and hopefully giving them an interest in security that will last a lifetime."
ESET and the Securing Our eCity Foundation are providing the opportunity, so I spoke with some of the Cyber Boot Camp students. Chloe Crisostomo of the Mira Mesa H.S. team told me that she is also in Air Force ROTC.
When asked her about her future plans she said that she is focused on college at this time and, "after college cyber security is somewhere in there." Chloe set out to find an activity to complement her personal life. Learning how to secure computers is now an essential ability that everyone must know according to Chloe.
"The atmosphere in which I learned cyber security interested me very much, and the technicalities of it influenced me to pursue a career in cyber security," added Chloe. She does not know the specific field of cyber security in which she will pursue, such as networking or forensics, but cyber security will stay a part of her life.
Jonathan Luck from Canyon Crest Academy contributed that, "I began high school with focus on becoming a doctor." He likes biology and chemistry but the introduction to cyber security training has given him a "different way of viewing things; it is creative." He is viewing UC Davis and University of California Berkeley as college choices.
The ESET leaders held a competition during the Cyber Boot Camp and it was won by the team from Canyon Crest Academy. Jonathan Luck was the top scoring student from the student champions of the CBC.
"I found it nice that you can learn about the opportunities in the industry and meet others with similar interests as well. This has been a great experience," stated Jonathan upon his win.
The ESET team and Liz Fraumann of Securing Our eCity have plans to build and reach more students for next year's event and look forward to seeing the development of their Cyber Boot camp members.

Head Coach Al Bagnoli
On his team's play
"We worked really hard to be balanced. We'd like to think we have a quarterback who is multi-dimensional, who is getting more comfortable throwing the ball. We'd like to think we have some receivers who can catch the ball, tight ends who can catch it, and we have some running backs. Every offense's aim is to be balanced. If you take a look at Yale's (offense), they're extremely balanced as well. They have two to three kids running the ball, you have a kid who can throw it, you have two or three who can catch it. Those are things that become very difficult to defend. You don't know whether to put eight in the box or try to defend the run with six."
On the pressures of the streak:
"We're a different team this year than we were last year. We graduated 33 seniors. Obviously, there are a lot of new faces, a lot of moving parts. You just got to get those guys better and better, make sure they stay focused for you the entire game and just make sure they understand how hard they got to work during the week, how hard they got to work on Saturday and how much time and effort it takes to win games in this league. It's a struggle. Every week it's a struggle. We're not surprised that it's a struggle especially when you look at this game. Our kids fight, they scratch and they claw and we keep playing and we keep playing & today we were fortunate to get the win."
Junior Quarterback Billy Ragone
On the team finishing the game strong:
"It speaks a lot about our team that we are never going to give up in a game and early on in the game we were moving the ball and doing what we wanted to do offensively but we weren't punching it in. We couldn't get it in before the half there. We just had to keep doing what we were doing and we made a lot of plays in the second half and we were able to get in and that made a difference."
On the receivers:
"I think that having so many weapons is great and we work on trying to get everyone the ball in certain situations and positions where they can thrive. Today everything seemed to fall in place in the second half, we had guys wide open making nice catches and running after the catch and when we play like that we are a dangerous offense. We have to keep building off of this and we have to stay focused."
Senior linebacker Erik Rask
On the defensive mindset against Yale:
"On defense, especially playing a team with a quarterback and his potent offense, we expect them to get a couple yards on us. Obviously, it's not the goal coming in but when it happens you have to rebound and come back the next play and shake it off. I think we are allowing too many big plays from where we would like to be. The good thing about that not a lot of them were turning into points. As long as you make them consistently drive the ball down the field, we think that we will be alright."
On pressuring the
"With him (Patrick Witt) back at quarterback, if you give him all day to throw the ball he is just going to pick you apart. Our goal was to bring a lot of pressure, and try to get guys in his face and moving around. In the second half, for the most part, we did a great job of that. He is a good player, so he will put the ball where it needs to be in certain times. But we got in his face and put pressure on and we were able to capitalize on that."

If $M$ is a Riemannian manifold the inverse function theorem tells us that for any $p \in M$ the exponential map gives us a nieghborhood $U$ of $p$ and normal coordinates $(x^i)$ in which the components of the metric are $g_{ij}=\delta_{ij}$ and the Christoffel symbols vanish at $p$. Why is this not the same as saying $M$ is locally flat?

An Apple Harvest: Recipes and Orchard Lore
by Frank Browning and Sharon Silva
From the inside jacket:
The world's most storied fruit is also among its most versatile cooking ingredients. In these pages, writer and NPR contributor Frank Browning delves into the apple's long history and his own upbringing on a Kentucky apple orchard, and food writer Sharon Silva recalls her childhood on a Sonoma family farm. Together, they pay homage to the ancient fruit of tempation in this charming illustrated companion to apple and cider cookery.
An Apple Harvest is an inviting compendium of more than sixty apple-centric recipes from Alsace to Appalachia, Moscow to Morocco, Bayeux to Berkeley. The feast opens with first courses such as Duck Breast and Fuji Apples on Watercress and Parsnip and Cider Soup and continues with main dishes like Baltic Roast Goose with Sour Apples and Atlantic Salmon Fillets in Cider-Mustard Sauce. Among the side dishes are classics like Real Applesauce and the curiously named Burning Love. And, of course, an apple book requires a respectable showing of desserts. Bourbon Apple Pie, Classic Tarte Tatin, and Apple Sorbet with Ginger are just three of the tempting offerings.
Browning and SIlva pepper the collection with spirited musing on whether to peel apples for pies and how to choose apples and store the properly. In a photographic field guide, they share more than two dozen of their favorite apple varieties and detail eating and cooking characteristics, storage qualities, peak season and growing regions.
Engaging storytelling and evocative photography make An Apple Harvest a celebration of the iconic fruit. Stock your pantry with cider and apples and discover for yourself the wildly varied savory and sweet dishes that Braeburns, Cortlands, Macouns, and their brethren can bring to the table.

text: SO I Just got back into drawing so trying to draw and paint more. I'm from the east coast of the United States and love to surf, skate, and cook in my free time. I also shape surfboards for myself and friends (totally counts as an art, right?). I love to film and edit movies too, I mostly make surf movies. It's been a while since I've made one. So I'll be posting lots of randomness from what I like to do, and hopefully you guys like some of it. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Baltimore County News
Paul Efros, M.A., CCC-A
Audiologist, Baltimore County Department of Health
Free Hearing Screenings Offered by the Department of Health
Many of us take our hearing for granted, but hearing loss is one of the most preventable and treatable health issues in our nation. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, approximately 28 million Americans have hearing loss and this number has doubled in the past 30 years.
Many Americans with hearing loss tend to be older adults. But loss of hearing doesn't need to be an accepted part of getting older. Help is available! In observance of Better Hearing and Speech Month, the Baltimore County Department of Health's Audiology Services will offer free hearings checks at three county locations (by appointment only) during the month of May.
How do you know if you or a loved one is losing their hearing? Some signs include:
· Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
· Pain or ringing in the ears
· Difficulty hearing conversations, and
· Keeping the TV or radio volume so loud, others ask you to lower it.
Loss of hearing isn't just inconvenient; it's detrimental to a happy, healthy life. Hearing loss is often accompanied by symptoms such as: irritability, fatigue, avoidance or withdrawal from social situations, reduced alertness and increased risk of personal safety, and reduced job performance.
So, do yourself a favor, schedule your free hearing screening today!

Shale Gas 2009
Poland, Russia, and us, continued
- Details
This is a follow up to a post from June 29, and an update to what we think is going to be the big story in European shale gas, Poland. We've talked at length about Polish shale, via activity of ConocoPhillips, BNK and Marathon. Now confirmation that Polish politicians are waking up to the implications. Can they please tell other European politicians the news?
Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- ConocoPhillips and Marathon Oil Corp. are betting that Poland, which gets half of its natural gas from Russia, can yield a development boom in shale formations like those that drove a jump in U.S. output of the heating fuel.
The third- and fourth-biggest U.S. oil companies obtained exploration licenses this year covering hundreds of thousands of acres in Poland. The country, which imports 72 percent of its gas, could become an exporter of the fuel, said Maciej Wozniak, chief adviser on energy security to Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
"Everything leads to a conclusion that in four or five years, and this is how much time we have to prepare for this, Poland will become a place with quite a lot of gas," Wozniak said in a telephone interview.
If shale changes the game anywhere in Europe, Poland is the place.
"Increasing natural-gas production in Poland, especially in such a sustainable way, is very important for us," Wozniak said. "Given our situation and the problems we had over the last years with securing stable supply on the gas market in the country, this initiative is particularly valuable."
We are of course still in the if stage in Poland. But perhaps we should investigate Polish shale a bit more before being forced into paying for CCS in UK energy bills?
If the 430 million-year-old Silurian shale that stretches through Poland proves to be "an economic resource," 48 trillion cubic feet (1.4 trillion cubic meters) of gas could be recovered over decades, according to Rhodri Thomas, a project adviser at Wood Mackenzie Ltd. in Edinburgh. That much gas would sell for more than $240 billion at current futures prices.
Just to give an idea, the UK uses 2.5 trillion cubic feet per year.
But this raise a an interesting question. If the energy adviser to the Polish Prime Minister isn't worried about Russian gas, why are the UK Energy Minister and the Chief Scientific Officer to the Department for Environment and Climate Change?
Shale gas could transform energy geopolitics
- Details
So says the Atlantic Council a US think tank. Despite looking like the kind of place where Dick Cheney may be hanging out in exile, they make good points that UK policy makers outside of energy should start considering. It's getting obvious that energy politicians in the UK are so (still!) utterly convinced (or have a vested interest?) of a gas shortage, that perhaps it's time to change tack and have word in the ear of those who realise that policies have to fit facts, not cater to outdated concepts. This would be a good place for any present or future UK policy makers in Treasury or Foreign Office for example. After all, these are type of guys who sold the fiasco of Iraq. They should find something that makes sense like shale easy.
Lost amidst the doom and gloom over global warming and energy dependence on the Middle East and Russia is the fact that new technologies and drilling techniques are allowing recovery of gas trapped in shale and gradually but inexorably transforming the global energy security equation.
The good news is that the price of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has dropped by roughly half, and US gas imports have dropped precipitously as these technologies have been deployed over the past two years or so. Now Europe is beginning to focus on its own shale deposits to reduce Russia's hold on Europe's gas market. And not least, as gas is the cleanest of fossil fuels, producing about 40% of the GHG of coal, it could provide some benefit in the effort to mitigate climate change.
I'm quoting at length from this for two reasons. Firstly, it's been frustrating at No Hot Air, that although plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery that there has been quite a bit on shale's implications in even some of the world's most respected publications, mentioning no names but one in English and one in French, that seem to depend on what we've posted here without having the courtesy to link to us. That means apart from anything else, that we haven't seen anything new.
What is original here, apart from some interesting figures from the US EIA that we were unaware of, is the speculation includes the political implications of shale:
We hope, and we will point out to the UK policy makers in particular Energy Minister Malcolm Wicks and National Grid's Nick Winser that outdated assumptions need to be updated.
The prospective geopolitical implications are also intriguing. Widespread shale gas production holds the possibility of reducing Russian control over Europe's supply. Europe itself has modest shale gas potential, and regulatory and legal questions further cloud its potential for shale gas production. But if shale gas becomes a larger factor in world gas markets, Europe could find access to relatively cheaper LNG supplies outside of Russia from Qatar, offshore Africa, and elsewhere. What impact such an eventuality might have on EU-Russia relations makes for interesting speculation.
Moreover Russia and Iran, which combined possess more than 40% of current proven gas reserves, may find that shale gas make it less attractive for foreign investors, whose technology can be critical, to develop those reserves. Iran, in particular has proven a vexing and problematic place to invest (quite apart from the political risk factor), especially so in its energy sector. If both petro-states have less gas revenue to bankroll their respective foreign policies, their efforts to expand in influence in the former Soviet space in the case of Russia, and the Middle East/Central Asia in the case of Iran, that would likely impact geopolitics on both areas.
All this is, of course, is for now, in the realm of speculation. But there is a loud buzz about shale gas being a game-changer among energy analysts that is difficult to ignore. In any case, shale gas has already injected great uncertainty into the future of gas markets and changed the US gas picture. Whether it rises to the level of being a game-changer is a judgment that will remain premature, probably until well into the coming decade.
Which Russia to believe?
- Details
Two stories today showing two opinions from one country. This shows the still prevalent UK view of Russia as threat to energy security needs to be a little more nuanced.
First off, the usual story, from Gazprom in the Moscow Times. They would say this wouldn't they?
A Gazprom spokesman on Monday dismissed concerns that a growth in the production of shale gas would pose a threat to the company's foreign sales, voicing the gas giant's first comment on the prospect.
After gas prices surged last year and early this year, many European gas companies have begun studying the U.S. technology for producing shale gas, which may be a cheaper source of fuel.
"The speculations that shale gas is cheaper than the Russian gas are not true," Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov said in an interview with Russia Today television.
Recenty we have been hearing that Gazprom is seen by some Russian sources as not maximising their potential with European end-users. Which make the statement by Russian oil major Lukoil interesting:
OAO Lukoil ut its 10-year output targets as Russia's biggest non-state crude producer postponed some natural-gas projects on a decrease in European fuel demand and unconventional gas developments in the U.S.
"It looks like our country will face serious problems with gas exports as early as the next decade," Deputy Chief Executive Officer Leonid Fedun said in Moscow today.
And does this sound like the looming Russian Gas Crisis Alistair Buchanan and Malcolm Wicks fear, where a lack of investment in Russian gas threatens the UK's gas needs?
Lukoil postponed some of its gas projects as demand slipped and the U.S. made "dynamic" developments in shale gas, Fedun said. Some existing projects boast cheaper costs than liquefied natural gas and unconventional gas projects and would provide free cash flow of over $6 billion through 2019, Fedun said. Lukoil's largest natural gas projects are in Siberia, the Caspian Sea region and Uzbekistan in Central Asia.
Waiting for the ice age.
- Details
Thursday's gas storage data from the EIA were pretty astounding for the end of November: Historically the period sees gas coming out of storage as winter starts. But storage levels are still growing! This is convention breaking, paradigm shifting and disruptive events rolled into one. The entire point of producing natural gas is that someone will find it useful and burn it. That sometimes gets lost when commodities take on the role of financial assets instead of physical ones.
Why isn't the winter season soaking up natural gas and what are the short term implications? What we don't have figures for is actual demand. A mild November is one definite cause of the glut, but is it the only one? Perhaps not.
We don't know how much demand has increased, or not, from generation demand for example. We can only guess what will happen in the future of the big IF. If the recession ends how much will demand recover? Consider three fundamentals of the US economy:
1. One of out seven mortgages are in arrears
2. One out of eight adults and one out of four children in the US are dependent on federal assistance via food stamps to eat.
3. Whether or not there will be a recovery, it is increasingly looking like a jobless recovery. Jobless recoveries don't increase demand for gas, we need factories to actually build things and use the gas.
The US is still the world's largest economy, as important as EU and BRIC demand is. People who can't afford to eat or put a roof over their head won't be buying any UK or EU products anytime soon either.
The fundamentals of US gas supply are tottering. What would it take to get them back into sync?
The bottom line is that you are at the end of November, and you are still putting gas in the ground," said Stephen Schork, editor of the energy advisory newsletter the Schork Report, adding it would take an "ice age" to send prices significantly higher.
The entire cycle is that winter comes, gas gets used in what Americans call furnaces and the UK calls boilers, and the prices depend on the gap between what comes out of the ground and then goes up in smoke, or to be more exact a vapor cloud. Gas comes out of storage and gets burned, which should be it's destiny. A molecule of gas stuck under ground is not necessarily wrong, but it is pointless and even more so considering that storage itself comes at both a physical and financial cost. Come springtime, gas production gets soaked up again by storage.
But what if springtime comes and much of last year's gas meets next year's gas production and supply and demand fundamentals continue as they were? The collision could be explosive.

A record 94 cars participated in the 23rd annual Copperstate 1000 vintage and sports car rally, which actually turned out to be the Copperstate 1111.1 this year with a route that included not only highways and byways in Arizona but a quick crossing of part the Mohave southeastern California and even a little slice of Nevada.
The drivers and co-drivers of each of those cars have stories to share from the route, though perhaps the most dramatic of those stories is shared by John and Peg Leshinski, and it may be a poignant tale for all of you who drive open-cockpit vintage cars.
This year, the Leshinskis did the drive in their 1952 Allard K-2, a car originally purchased by Al Unser Sr., who raced it up Pikes Peak and who later won the Indianapolis 500 four times.
Because the Allard not only has on open cockpit and only a pair of very small wind deflectors instead of windshield, John wanted Peg to be as comfortable and as protected as possible, so he decided they should wear period-correct helmets on the rally. He found a French company that makes just such helmets, and with clear and full-face wind visors.
"They looked like what Phil Hill wore," he said in reference to the only native-born American ever to win the world Grand Prix driving championship, in 1961.
It was on the northbound stretch across the Mohave that the Leshinskis encountered a southbound semi, the cab and trailer creating so much turbulence that it sucked up the Allard's hood, breaking the leather hood strap. The hood slammed back over the passenger compartment, smacking John and Peg in their heads, or, more accurately, in their helmets.
Peg compared the impact to be "hit by a railroad tie."
Somehow, John got the car stopped safely, neither of them was injured, and with help from others who stopped to provide assistance, they removed what remained of the hood and continued on along the route.
It was interesting that John Leshinski brought up Phil Hill's name, because Phil Hill's son, Derek, was on the Copperstate this year, driving a 1962 Aston Martin DB4 owned by Chris Andrews.
Also on the rally were Michael and Katharina Leventhal and their 1953 Ferrari 340 MM Le Mans Spyder, which, it turns out, is the very same car in which Phil Hill did his first race in Europe.
On the second day of the Copperstate, the Leventhals invited Derek Hill to drive their car.
"That," Hill said later, "was very special."

Band History
Biography 2011
The Swedish Metal band FULLFORCE was initially formed in late 2008 by Stefan Elmgren (ex Hammerfall), Magnus Rosén (ex Hammerfall, X World 5) and Mike Andersson (Cloudscape, ex Planet Alliance). Mike and Stefan started to compose songs right away, as everything clicked really well on a musical and personal level between the members. In early 2009 they talked to legendary drummer and friend Anders Johansson (ex Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Hammerfall) about joining them as their permanent drummer and even though Anders has his ongoing drum duties in the worldwide famous touring band Hammerfall, he became a sold member of FULLFORCE as well and is also involved in the songwriting. Shortly after Anders joined FULLFORCE, Mike had a chat with guitar phenomenon CJ Grimmark (ex Narnia) and offered sharing the guitar duties with Stefan and since CJ couldn't say "no" to this great opportunity, the band had finally found its full five-piece shape in order to get started with the work for their first album. However, in early 2010 Magnus Rosén decided to again leave the fold mostly because he had taken on too many musical jobs already and in order to sort out his future career he had to exclude some of his prior commitments, as he felt he couldn't dedicate the time requested for FULLFORCE. Shortly thereafter, Tommy Larsson (ex Heed) filled the vacant bassplayer spot and less than 24 hours after the official announcement of FULLFORCE´s existence to the metal scene, several respected media outlets already started to contact the band to find out more details and future plans for FULLFORCE. The band had now properly started rolling
During spring of 2010, FULLFORCE began recording their debut album, simply entitled "One" and finalized works on the 12 songs around late 2010, when the band´s own CJ Grimmark skillfully delivered the record´s final mix done at Area 52 Studios, so that the band was now able to intensify talks to possible label partners for the upcoming release. After talking with several different interested parties, FULLFORCE have finally decided to sign a worldwide deal with the well-respected Metal company SPV / Steamhammer Records.
Featuring extremely well-crafted and catchy song-material, "One" is a breath of fresh air within the current melodic Metal movement, as it introduces a new and hungry outfit which consist of five highly experienced and upper-level quality players, determined to take their traditional Heavy Metal and Hardrock influences into an up-to-date and very personal mixture, adding some interesting ethnic and atmospheric edge to things, without taking away any of the impact of the essence of their music´s style: the great, compact and hookline-oriented song itself!
Here are two prominent examples for the feedback towards FULLFORCE´s debut album material:
"Very tight band, full guitar sound and very steady drums…excellent sound. The whole production is a good combination between modern metal with a vintage feel because of the big catchy choruses. In short, a very solid album, congrats!" // Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One)
"High quality of Mike Andersson´s voice… love it…I can hear tones of Dio, Coverdale and Dickinson…it´s all in there! The band is great very tight…and very competent. Everyone sounds like they are enjoying the songs. Great intros that really draw you into the song. Each player has done a great job!" // Tony Martin (ex Black Sabbath)
The albums artwork was provided by the team of young American graphic talent Austin Pickrell and artwork veteran Rainer Kalwitz (Metal Church, Praying Mantis, etc.), adding a well-themed depth of dimension and lyrical link to this release and the final mastering of the record was brilliantly taken care of by Peter In de Betou / Tailor Maid Productions (Firewind, Bullet, Arch Enemy, etc.).
FULLFORCE have already done a few first debuting gigs in Sweden and have also toured with German metallers called EDGUY in Sweden and Germany during fall, 2011 but are now working on their second album to be released in late 2012 to fully kick off live activities to showcase the band´s energy and abilities as well on stage. Nonetheless CJ Grimmark decided to leave FULLFORCE in late 2011 but, was replaced by Swedish axeman Stefan Rosqvist a few months later. Watch out for great things to come soon…

Did you know biscuits are said to have first appeared 10,000 years ago in China, where dry rice pies with sesame and fruits were made?
Other stories mention that the Assyrians prepared thin rusks made of barley and wheat dough, which they then placed in clay vases and baked on embers. Thousands of years later, depictions of worker's stirring an oven's fire in which biscuits are being baked were found in an Egyptian tomb dating back to 2,500 B.C.
Either way, biscuits have long been a staple of the southern diet. When growing up, it was not unusual for my family to have biscuits at every meal – morning, noon and night. We'd even use them sometimes in lieu of cake when having strawberry shortcake – cutting the biscuits in half, pouring strawberries and juice over them and then adding a healthy dollop of whipped or vanilla ice cream.
This recipe for buttermilk biscuits is a fun one to make with kids. Have butter and jam ready so you can share them hot out of the oven.
- 1 ¼ cups cake
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cold & cut into chunks
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Cut in the butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Quickly add butter milk to the flour mixture.
- Mix only until it all comes together.
- Remove dough to a floured work surface. Put some flour on your hands and lightly knead the dough until it is uniform looking.
- Pat (don't roll) the dough out to about 3/4" thickness. Flour your cutter and cut biscuits without turning it.
- Place biscuits onto baking sheet.
- Gently form the scraps into little biscuits. Place on baking sheets.
- Bake biscuits for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Makes 6.
Cut them out
After cutting put your biscuits, gather the scraps, roll them up and make little biscuits to go with the others. These little ones are just as tasty.
Breajfast biscuit
The bacon, egg and cheese biscuit is a staple of many fast food breakfast menus. I wonder how many go out the drive-thru windows every morning?
Biscuits and gravy
This variety is better eaten at a table, not while driving down the road! It could even be a bit messy if you are riding shotgun should there be a need for a quick stop.
Biscuits and honey
It's been said that eating the honey of local bees can significantly decrease one's allergy problems. What better way to eat that honey than to pour it over hot biscuits and butter?
Meatloaf, biscuits & brussel sprouts
While growing up, fresh baked biscuits were the bread served with our meals, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner. That doesn't happen in too many homes any more.
Don't forget the pup
There are also good recipes available for dog biscuits do don't forget your best buddy. You probably should not feed him too many of the same kind of biscuits you eat.

Sun Devil wrestling picked up its third upset of the season in its home finale, defeating Oregon State, 17-16, in a Pac-12 contest. Prior to the match the Beavers were undefeated in league action.
ASU struck first with a decision from Ares Carpio at 125, but the Beavers quickly tied things up at 133. At 141, Matt Kraus picked up four team points with a 13-1 major decision before OSU's decision at 149 cut ASU's lead to 7-6.
Oregon State scored a major decision at 157 to go up, 10-7, before Nick Rex picked up a 5-2 major decision in his final home wrestling match in a Sun Devil uniform to retie the dual at 10-10.
At 174, the Beavers picked up the team score lead with three points before Blake Stauffer's major decision at 184 gave ASU a 14-13 edge. Wesley Moore gave ASU a four-point advantage with a 6-2 decision at 197, and the Sun Devils secured the win as Oregon State could only pick up three points at heavyweight.
With his major decision win over Oregon State's Austin Morehead, Blake Stauffer has moved up to No. 16 at 184 by Amateur Wrestling News.
Joel Smith currently owns three of the fastest pin times so far this season, starting with his 18-second victory at the Cowboy Open on Nov. 2. Smith's pins at the Virginia Duals, 0:37 over Nebraska-Kearney's Colton Johnson and 1:30 over Old Dominion's Tristan Warner, are the second and third quickest pins in 2013-14, respectively.
Smith also recorded a pin in 4:03, and is second on the team with four, followed Ray Waters (165/174) who has six.
Ray Waters' (165) pin of SIUE's Logun Taylor at 1:59 on Nov. 16 marks the fifth-quickest pin so far this season. Waters has recorded five more falls, which leads the team. His 2:31 takedown of Josh VanTine in ASU's dual with Northern Colorado marks the sixth-fastest time, and his 3:20 pin over Boise State's Cole Rice places him in eighth. Waters also recorded a pin at 3:49 over Harvard's Colton Peppleman is at No. 10 on the list.
The Sun Devils competed in their lone head-to-head team competition last week, the Virginia Duals in Hampton, Va. ASU finished seventh overall, marking the sixth time finishing in the Top 8 and second at seventh (last, 1987).
After an opening-round loss to No. 8 seed Chattanooga (35-7), ASU rebounded with a win over then-No. 25 Old Dominion (21-15). ASU fell to Rider, 25-11, before topping Nebraska-Kearney, 32-6, in the seventh-place match.
Against Old Dominion, each team won five matches, but ASU was boosted by a pair of pins, the first as Ares Carpio won in 4:54 at 125, and the second from Joel Smith at 157 in 1:30.
Smith was the lone Sun Devil to go undefeated on the day, picking up two pins and a decision. In ASU's victory over Nebraska-Kearney, they picked up four bonus-point decisions: one pin from Smith, two major decisions from Kalin Goodsite (133) and Matt Kraus (141), and one victory via forfeit from Luke Bean at 197.
So far this season, six Sun Devils have recorded high final placements in tournament action. Kyle Colling is the first ASU wrestler to pick up a tournament title in the 2013-14 season, winning the heavyweight bracket at the Keystone Classic with four wins, including a 3-1 tiebreaker decision in the championship match.
Kevin Radford has a pair of third-place finishes under his belt, the first at the Cowboy Open (Nov. 2), where he went 5-1 in the 184 weight class before finishing third at 174 at the Keystone Classic on Nov. 24. Radford also finished eighth overall at the Las Vegas Invite on Dec. 7.
Chace Eskam finished third at the Cowboy Open at 197, going 2-1 overall and picking up a sudden-victory win in the opening round before he came out on top with a 3-2 decision to seal his finish.
Blake Stauffer went 5-1 at the Keystone Classic to finish third at 184, with three winning decisions and one tech fall victory.
Ray Waters finished fourth overall at the Keystone Classic at 165, with a pair of pins and a 12-4 major decision win over Appalachian State's Zac Strickland.
The final Sun Devil to place so far this season is Matt Kraus, who finished in fifth at the Keystone Classic at 141. Kraus picked up at 10-1 major decision win over Trevor Moody of Indiana en route to his finish.
As a team, ASU finished seventh in its lone head-to-head team tournament, the Virginia Duals. The Sun Devils picked up wins over then No. 25 Old Dominion and Nebraska-Kearney.
First Place: Colling (Nov. 24)
Third Place: Radford (Nov. 2, Nov. 24), Eskam (Nov. 2), Stauffer (Nov. 24)
Fourth Place: Waters (Nov. 24)
Fifth Place: Kraus (Nov. 24)
Eighth Place: Radford (Dec. 7)
Prior to its season opener, the Arizona State wrestling team competed in its yearly Maroon and Yellow Intersquad match. In the 125 weight class, Ares Carpio picked up from where he left off last season, dominating Tyree Owens, 20-5.
At 133, Tyler Liberatore took an early lead over Cord Coronado with three takedowns before Carpio came back and held off the major decision with a final score of 9-4.
Freshman Jesus Calderon stepped in at 141, but was unable to overcome Paul Looper's collegiate experience as Looper came out with the 9-2 victory.
The marquee match of the night came at 149, with Preston McCalmon taking on NCAA qualifier Nathan Hoffer. The pair fought to a tie score at the end of regulation before Hoffer came out to win the match.
At 157, Joel Smith picked up three takedowns in his defeat of Codey Combs, while Ray Waters pinned James Brundage in 37 seconds in the 165 weight class.
Josh DaSilvera defeated Chase Eskam in overtime, 3-2 in the 197, while the battle of the heavyweights came down to Kyle Colling picking up the advantage of Daniel Gusev.
In exhibition, Luke Bean wrestled Wesley Moore at the 197, with Moore picking up the win, 8-4.
Each of the Sun Devils' five home matches this season are scheduled back-to-back from Jan. 18 through Feb. 9. ASU will open the home slate with a tri-meet against Northern Colorado and Utah Valley on Jan. 18 before facing its first Pac-12 foe of the year, Boise State, on Jan. 24.
The Sun Devils will then take on Iowa State on Feb. 1 before taking on Pac-12 foe Stanford on Feb. 3, which will be aired on the Pac-12 Networks. ASU closes out the home schedule against Oregon State on Feb. 9, in another match that will be broadcast by the Pac-12 Networks.
Four of Arizona State's meets are set to be aired by the Pac-12 Networks in 2014, starting with the conference opener against Boise State. ASU will then have back-to-back televised duals against Stanford and Oregon State.
The 2014 Pac-12 Championships, hosted by Stanford on March 2 will also be aired on the Pac-12 Networks.

You know how we know that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is cold? Cause her nipples are popping out to say hello!
The model turned actress was spotted in Los Angeles earlier today leaving a very posh salon in West Hollywood when we got a great view of what was going on underneath her shirt. Don't you think someone like Rosie would be wearing a bra?
Unless she's going for comfort and just doesn't care about the fact that her nipples are out there for the world to see. That's also possible. I'm sure that Rosie's boyfriend Jason Statham wouldn't be cool with other folks checking out his lady's nipples.
I mean, Jason could totally kick your ass. Have you seen his pissed off face? Well, not that he would actually do anything because he seems like a super sweet guy in real life. I'm thinking the macho thing is just for the big screen.
Check out all the photos of Rosie and her nipples in the gallery. What do you guys think of the nipple look? Do you always stare at the one person who is clearly cold? Sound off in the comments!

I'm a software developer and don't have much experience as a sysadmin. I developed a web app and was considering buying a server and hosting the web app on it.
Is this a huge undertaking for a web developer? What's the level of difficulty of maintaining a server and keeping up with the latest security patches and all that kind of fun stuff. I'm a single user, and not planning to sell the service to others.
Can someone also recommend an OS for my case, and maybe some good learning resources that's concise and not too overwhelming.

Many of the Christians refer the Idols of Jesus or cross as "Icon" and say that since they are actually religious symbols and hence cannot be Idols. It sounds absurd but does Judaism differentiate between Icon and Idols like how Christianity does?
e.g: The following image is considered to be an Icon:
and also on wikipedia the engraved picture is called as icon of St Nicolas carved in stone.
P.S: I feel anyone can get away by changing the name of such objects and toying with semantics , am I correct?

Assume given a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P)$ and a measurable space $(E,\mathcal{E})$. Let $(\nu_\omega)_{\omega\in\Omega}$ be a family of signed measures on $(E,\mathcal{E})$. Assume that $\omega\mapsto\nu_\omega(A)$ and $\omega\mapsto|\nu_\omega|(A)$ are $\mathcal{F}$ measurable for all $A\in\mathcal{E}$, where $|\nu_\omega|$ denotes the total variation measure of $\nu_\omega$. Further assume that $\int_\Omega |\nu_\omega|(E)dP(\omega)$ is finite. The family $(\nu_\omega)$ is basically a signed measure analogue of the Markov kernels from probability theory used for regular conditional distributions. Under these assumptions, it is possible to define the integration of $(\nu_\omega)$ with respect to $P$ as the unique signed measure $\lambda$ on $\mathcal{F}\otimes\mathcal{E}$ such that $\lambda(F\times A) = \int_F \nu_\omega(A) dP(\omega)$ for $F\in\mathcal{F}$ and $A\in\mathcal{E}$. This can be done simply by Jordan-Hahn decomposing each $\nu_\omega$ and carrying out the ordinary kernel integration construction for the positive and negative parts separately.
My question is the following: What is the total variation measure of $\lambda$?
My own guess is the following. Let $\mu$ denote the integration of $(|\nu_\omega|)_{\omega\in\Omega}$ with respect to $P$, that is, the unique measure such that $\mu(F\times A)=\int_F |\nu_\omega|(A)dP(\omega)$ for $F\in\mathcal{F}$ and $A\in\mathcal{E}$. I would think that $|\lambda|=\mu$. It is quite clear that $|\lambda|\le \mu$. However, I don't find the converse inequality as obvious.
An appealing line of argument would be to simply claim that with $\nu_\omega = \nu_\omega^+ - \nu_\omega^-$, the Jordan-Hahn decomposition of $\lambda$ is obtained by integrating the kernels $(\nu^+_\omega)$ and $(\nu^-_\omega)$. However, while this yields two nonnegative measures whose difference is $\lambda$, it is not obvious that the two measures are singular: Intuitively, these two measures would have mass on "glued together" strips of the $\mathcal{E}$-sets where each $\nu^+_\omega$ and $\nu^-_\omega$ are concentrated, but it is not obvious that such glued together sets are measurable.

Instructor: Simao Avila (view instructor's teaching evaluations | profile)
View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 3
Meeting Time: M 6:25-9:05
Meeting Location: 244
Course Start: August 26, 2013
Class Number (formerly Course Control Number) (Non-1Ls): 49571
This highly interactive course will help students succeed in their professional and personal negotiations. The course will explore a series of theoretical frameworks, and through group discussions and role plays, students will gain skills in applying the theory to real-life negotiations. Students will learn how to prepare for, conduct, and review negotiations systematically. Class exercises will cover preparation, creating and claiming value, creative problem solving, client counseling, difficult tactics, ethical issues, listening and communication skills. The intensive nature of this class provides students with an opportunity to learn and integrate valuable interpersonal skills, evaluate and improve their own skills, work closely with one another, and receive feedback from the professor and colleagues.
Attendance and participation at all scheduled classes is mandatory. Please note that there will be a mandatory Saturday class in November (TBD) during which the students will conduct a team negotiation across the table from students from another law school or another negotiation class at Boalt. This team negotiation is a culmination of the learnings throughout the semester and a significant portion of the overall grade. If students are unable to attend the Saturday class, it is recommended that the student enrolls in another section of Negotiations that does not have the mandatory Saturday class.
Due to the use of simulation exercises throughout the semester and the need to determine members of the class as soon as possible, the usual provisions of "Add/Drop" do not apply. All interested students, whether enrolled or on the wait list, should attend the first session at which time enrollment will be confirmed. Enrolled students who are not present during the first class may be dropped at the instructor's discretion. If you have questions, please contact Simao J. Avila at firstname.lastname@example.com

College Hockey:Cardinals Earn MIAC Finals Bid
WINONA, Minn. — It's been said that the toughest thing for any team to do is to beat an opponent three times in one season.
But don't tell that to Saint Mary's.
Not only did the Cardinals beat St. Thomas for a third straight time Friday night, but they did it a fourth time on Saturday, as SMU completed a two-game sweep of the Tommies with a 2-0 victory and earned a spot in the MIAC playoff championship next weekend.
"It certainly wasn't a very flashy performance, and it may not have been very pretty, but we got the job done," said SMU coach Duncan Ryhorchuk, whose Cardinals will travel to St. Peter, Minn., next Friday and Saturday to take on league champion Gustavus Adolphus, which beat St. Catherine 6-0 and 8-2 in the other MIAC semifinal.
"We challenged this team to put their best game on the ice and they did just that – they all played with a lot of heart and gave it everything they had."
The Tommies gave it everything they had, too, it's just that whatever they threw at the SMU goal was kicked away by goalie Missie Meemken, who was her usual acrobatic self between the pipes for the Cardinals, stopping 26 shots for her third shutout of the season.
"Missie played extremely well both nights," praised Ryhorchuk of his sophomore netminder, who finished with 34 saves in the Cardinals' 4-1 victory on Friday. "When you get to this stage in the season, you need people to pick their games up a notch or two and Missie certainly did that this weekend."
With Meemken busy thwarting every UST scoring opportunity, the Cardinals got all the offense they would need midway through the first period as Emily Kearns took a feed from Missy Westergren and beat St. Thomas goalie Danielle Mikolai.
"We were a little tentative early in the game — I think everyone was playing more not to lose than they were to win," admitted Ryhorchuk. "We talked about it a little bit between the first and second periods. We told them to stop worrying about all the possible scenarios and go out and play the game they way they were capable of playing it.
"And I thought we did a better job of that in the second and third periods."
After a scoreless second period, the Cardinals got a little breathing room as Kelly O'Neil converted another pass from Westergren to give SMU a 2-0 advantage with 8:26 remaining in regulation. And with Meemken at the top of her game, that lead was more than enough as the Cardinals held on for their school-record 21st win of the season.
"This team has worked very hard to get to this point, but we certainly aren't going to sit back now – we've still got a lot of hockey to play" said Ryhorchuk, whose team split with the Gusties during the regular season. "We're looking forward to getting another shot at Gustavus — it should be a great series."

Guerrero demolishes Archer!
Unbeaten super middleweight star Fernando Guerrero (15-0, 13 KOs) massacred Chris Archer (11-9, 7 KOs) on Saturday night at Fitzgerald's Casino & Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Guerrero battered Archer from the opening bell, flooring Archer with body shots in both rounds one and two. Guerrero sent Archer down again in the third with a further body assault and referee Randy Phillips waved it off moments later. Time was 2:15.
Unbeaten jr middleweight Shawn Porter (10-0, 8 KOs) demolished Lamar Harris (6-3, 4 KOs), dropping Harris three times before the bout was stopped at 2:18 of round one.
Unbeaten middleweight Dominic Wade (4-0, 4 KOs) blitzed Tyrone Dowdy (4-20, 3 KOs) in less than a round. Dowdy's corner threw in the towel just as he was floored after 2:25 of punishment.

Prostate Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy may also be referred to as "internal radiation". Prostate seed implantation is a type of radioactive source procedure. An ultrasound is used to place dozens of tiny "seeds" containing radioactive iodine or palladium which are placed in the tumor site. This is beneficial because radiation can be delivered directly to the tumor site without going through normal structures.
Gold seed marker placement
Gold fiducial markers are 2-3 millimeters in size and only three are placed into the prostate gland. These markers ensure precise target localization for structures that may move slightly on a daily basis and also helps spare radiation dose to surrounding healthy tissue.
4-D CT Scanning for thoracic malignancies
4D CT is a specialized scan which helps localize moving lung tumors. This allows the radiation oncologist to define a more precise radiation dose to the lungs ensuring coverage of the tumor even when a patient is breathing during treatment.

At Looking Around, Richard Lacayo has a good summary of the situation with Picasso's "Guernica," and a little history lesson about the Spanish Civil War to boot. "Probably the most famous work of art about wartime suffering, 'Guernica' has been for years at the center of a tug of war itself. Madrid has it. The Basques want it. The subject of the painting is of course the 1937 bombing raid on the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. It was an attack enthusiastically carried out by German pilots at the urging of the rebel general Francisco Franco. Not long after, Picasso, who was living in Paris, was approached by a delegation from the beleaguered Spanish Republic, who asked him to produce a major work for the Spanish pavilion at the upcoming Paris world's fair. His response was 'Guernica.' When the fair ended the much publicized painting went on a tour of four Scandinavian cities to raise funds for the Loyalist cause, then on to London and the U.S. for the same purpose. All in vain. Franco prevailed in the Spanish war. Then came World War II and the German occupation of Paris, where Picasso would glumly sit out the war...I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the still ongoing Reina Sofia study of the painting's physical condition, which has so far turned up 129 'changes' to the canvas, most of them due to being repeatedly rolled up during that world tour 70 years ago. But the conclusion that it can't be moved again, which certainly serves the interests of the Reina Sofia, needs to be seen in the context of the regional struggle between Madrid and the Basques. I'm guessing a move could be handled much more gently this time. It's not like they'd be shipping it in a FedEx tube." Read more.

The BYU, Utah, Weber State and Utah Valley men's basketball teams are all eliminated but it matters none because the BYU Cougars womens basketball team is getting a ton of run nationally leading to up their NCAA Sweet 16 game against No. 1 UConn later this week.
The venerable New York Times even devoted an article to the Cougars on Thursday, March 26, giving readers poignant snapshots of each BYU star -- along with a more detailed look at head coach Jeff Judkins.
The journey the Cougars are enjoying has even started to dawn on players like guard Lexi Eaton, who recognizes BYU is doing something special during March Madness on her Twitter page.
"Feeling very blessed to be a part of such an amazing team putting together a magical season.…" Eaton tweeted.
Not to be outdone, US News and World Report even devoted one page Thursday to the Cougars' stunning run in the NCAA Tournament -- labeling them "party crashers" as they prepare for their toughest opponent yet -- the No. 1 Huskies.
BYU will take on UConn Saturday, March 29 in Lincoln, Nebraska in the NCAA Sweet 16 for the right to go to the Elite Eight.
