It's a novel concept… no pun intended. Houston's literature lovers can read a book, and then view artworks connected with it.
That's the idea behind the Museum of Fine Arts Houston's Online Book Club, which is spotlighting two texts this summer: "My Ántonia" by Willa Cather and "The Palace of Illusions" by University of Houston creative writing professor and award-winning author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.
The MFAH Online Book Club offers local book clubs discussion topics for these selected texts and guided tours through museum exhibitions that are related to the texts.
Divakaruni is the first UH professor to be featured in MFAH's book club and will be the guest speaker Sept. 16 during the museum's "Artful Thursday" series.
A versatile writer, Divakaruni has written poetry and fiction for audiences of all ages. Her works have been translated into more than 20 languages, and two novels – "The Mistress of Spices" and "Sister of My Heart" have been adapted into films.
In "The Palace of Illusions," Divakaruni offers readers a new view of the Indian epic "The Mahabharat." In this retelling of the classic tale, the focus is on heroine Panchaali. The wife of five princes, she remains by their side during a battle for their kingdom and wages a war of her own with her mother-in-law for control of the household.
Creative Pride caught up with Divakaruni to talk about "The Palace of Illusions" and the MFAH Online Book Club.
CP: Your book "The Palace of Illusions" is a reinterpretation of "The Mahabharat." What can readers expect if they are unfamiliar with the original story?
CD: Those new to "The Mahabhrat" will still get the epic's story of two princely families who are battling with each other over land and kingdom. What I wanted to do with "The Palace of Illusions" is reinterpret it from the viewpoint of one of the main female characters, Panchaali. The reader sees the story through her eyes.
CP: How did "The Mahabhrat" inspire you as an artist?
CD: In India, it is very much like "The Iliad" or "The Odyssey." When I was growing up, it was a part of my everyday culture. My grandfather would tell me stories from this epic, and most children are very familiar with it. There are various versions aimed at different age groups. It is very much a part of India's popular culture.
Having grown up with it, I wanted to re-explore and understand it for myself. I also wanted to make it available for western audiences and people of Indian origin who are not connected with the culture.
CP: What were some of the reactions to this revisionist version of a classic tale?
CD: I was a little concerned because it is among India's sacred texts. I wasn't sure how people would accept it. All of the events and characters in the epic are present in "The Palace of Illusions." The only difference is that it is told from a woman's viewpoint. Everything is described a little differently, and some scenes have different meanings.
The book has been extremely well received in India, and I am delighted by that. In fact, it's been my most successful book in India. I didn't expect that.
CP: Those who take MFAH's "The Palace of Illusions" tour can view artwork depicting these classic characters, correct?
CD: Yes, it's lovely. The book and MFAH's Arts of India gallery are made for each other.
CP: How will the tour enhance a reader's experience with "The Palace of Illusions?"
CD: I love the idea of connecting the book with art. When different branches of the art can connect, it makes for a much more enriched experience. As a writer, I am very interested in the visual arts. Many of my poems, for example, are inspired by art. For readers, this book club will provide an enhanced understanding of the book. They will be able to view the characters in different ways as they are interpreted through different media.
At the museum, the readers also will have an opportunity to view the kind of jewelry that is depicted in the book. I describe it in the book, but it's amazing to see it. These are big chunks of gold jewelry. In one scene, a character is getting dressed for her wedding and tells her nursemaid, "I feel like I'm in battle armor." When you see these pieces up close, that scene comes alive in a new way.

This is the lead single from OutKast's 1998 Aquemini. "Rosa Parks" may not have been the duo's most successful single, but it established Outkast's legitimacy as pioneers of southern hip-hop.
On 1 December 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to obey bus driver James Blake's order to give up her seat in the colored section to a white passenger. This incident is said to be one of the catalysts of the Civil Right Movement in America in the 1950s and 1960s.
Rosa Parks' legal team filed a lawsuit against Outkast and LaFace records in a court case later known as Rosa Parks vs LaFace Parks, but ultimately lost the case. Years later in 2005, the year Parks passed away, her family approached Outkast backstage during a live show to say Rosa had never agreed to pursue legal action and that her lawyers were just out to make money.

Discussion in 'Battlestar Galactica & Caprica' started by Arpy, Sep 8, 2012.
Anyone know when it will?
As far as I'm aware, the last confirmed news regarding Blood & Chrome was back in March - the pilot will not move forward as a television series but may still return to its web series roots. The pilot will supposedly on Syfy Channel "at a future date."
That was a bad choice, trailer for B&C looked epic.
Hell, I just want to see the pilot. Don't have my hopes up for web-based anything.
One would hope they'd show it somewhere - hate to have all that work go to waste!
I wouldn't put it passed them to just break up the pilot into little mini-webisodes.
This is the same channel that essentially aired five seasons of Battlestar Galactica for the cost of producing four. Face it, Season "4.5" aired so much later that it was really Season 5. Likewise, Caprica was aired over two seasons for the price of one.
Someone needs to acquire it and set it free.
I think the SyFy channel has more important things like vampire shows to air, God forbid they ever have science fiction on the SyFy channel!
They do have Warehouse 13, that's like their only redeeming virtue.
Warehouse 13 is hugely fun but it's not exactly sci fi
It's weird as someone who just came out of a BSG marathon and then watched Caprica to hear there was a pilot set in the same universe (with an awesome name) and it is NOT the biggest thing ever to be seen on tv. Why why why why.
Wrestling is cheaper and gets better ratings.
From the Wikipedia entry:
I think it's high time they got on with it and stopped stringing people along. Why the heck not air it as one of their TV movies and gauge the reaction?
Because if the reaction is bad, it will make them look like fools for ever greenlighting the pilot.
And if the reaction is good, they'll be under pressure to greenlight a whole series, even if they would rather do wrestling or vampires or wrestling vampires.
That why networks never show backdoor pilots unless they've already decided they'd be willing to do a whole series, and the backdoor pilot ratings are just the last hurdle for the show to clear.
Otherwise, its a no-win situation for them. Presumably, SyFy has written B&C off at this point, otherwise they would have done something long before now.
I'd like to know how SyFy is "stringing people along," anyway. They aren't even advertising this. It's most likely dead. They may burn it off on TV or online at some point, but that depends on whether they think it's polished enough to see the light of day. If not, it will just be embarrassing.
I din't know about that. I don't see why one of their cheap event movies can't just happen to be in the space opera genre. A little clever advertising of it as a standalone project should do the trick,unless of course the pilot as filmed is obviously jonesing to be a series.
From the wikipedia article, they appear to be equivocating to some extent. They should make it available in some form, even if it means just paroling it on the website prior to withdrawing the thing altogether.
I loved new BSG but Caprica was poor on so many levels.
Much as Blood and Chrome interests me, it's probably for the best if it slips quietly away rather than further sullying the franchise.
They may not look like fools to the majority of the audience, who aren't aware that a series was even under development because people mostly don't care about that stuff.
But don't discount internal corporate politics in all this. Maybe the people who pushed for it just want it quietly to go away and not be further embarrassed by their failure. When you've got people constantly angling for your job like I'm sure they all do, it's never a good thing to advertise failure.
This isn't just an isolated case specific to SyFy. Every year the networks fund a slew of pilots that don't get picked up, and nobody ever shows them, even in some obscure summer timeslot to fill airtime. Network viewers wouldn't know that they were failed pilots anymore than SyFy viewers would. Why do they never see the light of day?
Corporate politics seems like the most likely explanation. If everyone were being rational, they'd show the pilots because a little money is better than no money. There's something other than money at stake that's driving this decision.
Another issue could be advertisers. Maybe it's not worth the trouble to try to sell the airtime for failed pilots. Would the advertisers think, "I don't want my products associated with failure"? Would it distract from the main business of selling series time? Would the sales department balk at having "crap" dumped on them to sell? That's a different type of corporate politics but it probably has real influence. In any ad supported business, the sales department would be powerful, they are the ones bringing in everyone's paycheck after all.
The thing is, all buzz has been positive. The Trailer they showed at ComicCon was well received. The folks who saw it to for Toy development were impressed, there hasn't been any insider who had any hesitation in praising it, and what's been released was well received, and Action Packed.
If I was to guess, I would have to say it's related to the Man Hours required to produce more of the same.
It's really hard to imagine, that they wouldn't make at least their $5 Million Investment back with the release of a DVD and then the advertizing revenues from airing it on SyFy. I think A group of Jr. Execs are afraid it will be enough of a hit that they'd be expected by their Seniors to produce more for cheaper and on a schedule, and they can't do it, because they misjudged the Man hours to do the CGI sets.
Have you seen any of their "sy-fy original movies"? Whether or not it's embarrasing doesn't seem to be a major concern for them.
By "embarrassing" I mean the ratings. Those "original movies" get better ratings than BSG did in its original airing. Think about that.
(To be fair, the miniseries was their highest-rated movie at the time it aired, too.)

Ten thousand seasons
Posted by Doug on June 1, 2006
You'd better read yesterday's post if you haven't yet.
So the plan is to simulate an NFL season a bazillion times and observe what kind of wacky stuff happens. Here are the particulars.
For each simulated season, I will assign each team a true strength which is a random number from a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 6. This means that the teams' true strengths are mostly somewhat close to zero. In particular, roughly two-thirds of all teams will have true strengths between -6 and +6, about 95% of all teams will have true strengths between -12 and +12. As you probably guessed, these numbers were rigged so that they generally agree with the values that the simple rating system produces for real NFL seasons in this decade.
You'll note that, even though it will be true for a real NFL season, I am not requiring that the teams' strengths in a given year average zero. Even though we can't observe it (at least not easily), there must surely be years when the league is stronger and years when it's weaker. And in any case, since we are primarily interested in questions like "how often does the best team in football (for that year) win the Super Bowl," it doesn't matter much.
Each simulated season had the same league structure and schedule as the 2005 NFL. That is, there were 32 teams divided into eight divisions of four teams each, and the schedule is just like that of the 2005 NFL.
There is one potential complication here, but I think it's minor. In the simulated world, each season is independent of the previous one, so the two intra-conference games in each team's schedule that are determined by last season's finish are instead essentially against random teams. In the real NFL, the seasons are not independent and good teams probably end up playing very slightly stronger schedules in general than bad teams do. Fortunately, this effect isn't nearly as dramatic now as it was in the 80s and 90s.
Also, I was too lazy to program the tiebreakers. All ties were broken by coin flip. I don't think this will affect anything, but let me know if you think I'm wrong about that.
Finally, the individual games are played by using the same formula we used in this post:
Home team prob. of winning =~ 1 / (1 + e^(-.438 - .0826*diff))
where diff is the home team's true strength minus the visiting team's true strength.
OK, that's that. Let's get to the question of the day, which is: how often does the best team in the NFL win the Super Bowl?
The answer is roughly 24% of the time.
I simulated 10,000 seasons. The table below shows that the best team won the Super Bowl 2,399 times, the second-best team won it 1,448 times, and so.

[NOTE: if you thought this table looked slightly different earlier, you're not seeing things. I accidentally inlcuded the wrong table at first, so I updated it about an hour later.]
Very nearly 50% of the time, the Super Bowl champion was one of the best three teams in football. And let me reiterate that when I say "the best team," I am not necessarily talking about the team with the best record. I am talking about the best team. Remember, we're omniscient here. We know which team really was the best.
I'm sure what caught your eye was that the 32nd-best (i.e. the worst) team in the NFL won the title once. Let me tell you about that season.
It was simulated season #6605. The Seattle Seahawks were truly a great team (true strength +15.1) and they played up to their potential, posting a 15-1 regular season record. The Chicago Bears were the worst team in football, but with a true strength of -9.0, they really weren't that bad, at least by worst-team-in-football standards. The NFC North was relatively weak, and Chicago took the division with an 8-8 record.
The Bears' first round playoff opponent was the Carolina Panthers, who were not great (+2.8) but had posted a 10-6 record to finish second in the NFC South. The game was in Chicago, of course, and it was therefore only a mild upset when Chicago won it. Chicago then beat the Saints in New Orleans and the Seahawks in Seattle to reach the Super Bowl.
The AFC was weak in 6605. The best they had to offer was the Jets (+7.2) who had gone 12-4 in the regular season and had beaten the Colts on the road to reach the Super Bowl. The Bears beat the Jets to win the title.
As James points out in his article, there is no single event here that is too hard to believe. It's not unlikely that there wouldn't be any truly terrible teams in the NFL in a given year. It's not unlikely that an entire division would be weak, and it's not unlikely that the worst team in such a division could win the title with an 8-8 record. In their four playoff games, their probabilites of victory were 37%, 10%, 8%, and 21%. That they'd win those four games is certainly unlikely, but no more unlikely than, say, an NL team getting four straight hits at the bottom of their batting order, and I'll bet you've seen that.
No one of those things is terribly bizarre. Yet they all come together to create an almost-unbelievable occurrence. Almost unbelievable. Ten thousand years is a long time. Most of you have probably been watching NFL football for 20 or 30 years, and think of all the crazy stuff you've seen in that time. If you lived another 500 lifetimes, you'd see some even crazier stuff.
Do you think you'd ever see a team like the 2005 Jets win a Super Bowl? And I'm not talking about the Jets if Pennington and Curtis Martin had stayed healthy. I'm talking about the Brooks Bollinger Cedric Houston 2005 New York Jets. If you gave that team 10,000 tries, would they win a Super Bowl? Before you say no, think about all the times you've seen a really bad team rattle off three or four unexpected victories; think of the Craig Krenzel-led Bears during that stretch in 2004, for example. Such runs are unlikely, but you've seen lots of them. Don't you think that, in 10,000 years, some team could string a couple of those runs together, get some breaks from the schedule, and then fluke out in the playoffs?
It could happen.

1984 Book 2, Chapter 1 Summary
- Winston leaves his cubicle at work for the restroom. Four days have passed since we last saw Winston wandering the prole district.
- He encounters the brunette "spy" in the corridor – she falls, hurting her arm, and passes him a scrap of paper folded into a square. The note says, "I love you."
- Winston suddenly feels an intense desire to live. Then he doesn't know what to do.
- After two more days, Winston manages to sit at the same table in the canteen as the brunette. They quickly arranged to meet each other among crowds at Victory Square at seven that evening.
- When they do meet, the thick crowd hides their movements from the telescreens.
- The brunette gives Winston precise directions to a place where they can be alone the next Sunday, at 3 p.m.
- They briefly hold hands, hiding amidst the crowd.

GLENDALE -- The pregame talk was about Raffi Torres and Marian Hossa. But 20 minutes into the Chicago Blackhawks-Phoenix Coyotes game, all the conversation had shifted to Chicago's razor-sharp skill players as the red-hot Blackhawks continue to carve up the West.
Patrick Kane had two goals and an assist and Patrick Sharp had three assists during a four-goal first period; they were two of five Blackhawks with multi-point games in a 6-2 rout of the Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena.
Kane now has 18 points in 11 games – three behind Buffalo's Tomas Vanek for the League lead.
Viktor Stalberg, Dave Bolland, Jonathan Toews and Brian Bickell also scored for Chicago, which has scored 12 of its 38 goals in a pair of road wins against the Coyotes – who ousted the Blackhawks from the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring.
Despite playing only two of their 11 games at home, the Blackhawks are an NHL-best 9-0-2 and only getting stronger and they approach some of the best starts ever. The 2006-07 Anaheim Ducks started 12-0-4 and the Edmonton Oilers started 12-0-3 in 1984-85, in the days of regulation ties. Both teams went on to win the Stanley Cup.
But neither of those starts came in a shortened season -- or with more than 80 percent of the games on the road.
Martin Hanzal had his fifth goal of the season for Phoenix, and Torres added his first of the season with 1:25 left – but it was meaningless. The Coyotes came into the game with a 3-0-2 record in their last five games, having allowed just six non-shootout goals in that span. Chicago had six in the first 35:08 of play.
Ray Emery stopped 22 shots for the win. Mike Smith allowed all six goals and was pulled after Bickell made it 6-1, but he didn't get much help from his teammates
The Coyotes had four shots in the first period, racked up 25 penalty minutes, 12 by defenseman Keith Yandle, and gave the talent-rich Blackhawks a pair of 5-on-3 power plays to feast on – with Kane punching home goals each time.
There was little question if the Blackhawks would seek out retribution against Torres for the hit that ended Hossa's season in Game 3 of the last year's Western Conference quarterfinal and earned him a 21-game suspension -- only how long it would take. The answer was 2:35 into the game, about 20 seconds into Torres' first shift.
Torres delivered a check near the Chicago bench and was called out by veteran Jamal Mayers before he even came over the boards for his shift. Torres quickly obliged, dropping his gloves, and the pair traded some good shots before Mayers tumbled to the ice to end it.
From there, the Coyotes lost their system, their discipline and their composure – and the Blackhawks gobbled up every opportunity. Stalberg got it started at 8:17, taking a pretty Andrew Shaw feed up the slot and beating Smith to the short side under the crossbar for his third goal of the season.
From there, it was a Phoenix parade to the penalty box and a Chicago scoring spree.
Just 39 seconds after Oliver-Ekman Larsson was sent off for interference, Derek Morris joined him for cross-checking. Smith was able to stop a point-blank bid from Sharp, but Toews slid the puck to the other post where Kane was waiting to extend his goal-scoring streak to four games at 14:52.
It took only 2:32 for Chicago to strike again. Sharp caught Kane flying into the Phoenix zone and Kane patiently waited for a trailing Bolland steaming up the slot. Bolland took Kane's pass and one-timed it past Smith to make it 3-0.
Yandle drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty immediately after Bolland's goal and Zbynek Michalek headed to the box 34 seconds later for tripping Bolland. Sharp needed just 27 seconds of the 5-on-3 to find Kane across the crease for another slam dunk; Chicago had its fourth goal of the period and the Coyotes by the scruff of the neck.
The Coyotes got on the board when Hanzal tipped home Radim Vrbata's power-play shot 5:19 into the second period – just the second power-play goal Chicago has allowed in nine road games this season – but the Blackhawks chased Smith with two more goals 2:16 apart to seal it.
Toews charged the length of the ice -- leaving both Torres and Ekman-Larsson twisted in his wake -- before beating Smith with a wrister at 12:42. Stalberg then swiped the puck from an exasperated Yandle behind the Phoenix net and set up Bickell on the doorstep at 15:08 to make it 6-1.
Phoenix's defeat was its first on home ice in the month of February since Feb. 2, 2011 when it lost 6-0 to Vancouver.
Coyotes center Martin Hanzal scored his team-high fifth goal to extend his point streak to four games.
Coyotes defenseman Chris Summers replaced injured David Schlemko (upper-body injury) in the lineup. Summers, who played 21 games for Phoenix last season, played 20:04 in his season debut. He blocked two shots. took two shots and delivered two hits.
Coyotes goalie Jason LaBarbera replaced started Mike Smith after Bickell scored Chicago's sixth goal at 15:08 of the second period. LaBarbera stopped all 11 shots he faced.
Coyotes forward Raffi Torres summed up the game well: "We had two good practices and then come out and had a game like that. That's the worst part. It's just unacceptable."

Slocombe, K.E. and Zuberbühler, K. (2005) Agonistic screams in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) vary as a function of social role. Journal of Comparative Pscyhology, 119 ( 1). pp. 67-77. ISSN 0735-7036Full text not available from this repository.
Some nonhuman primates have demonstrated the capacity to communicate about external objects or events, suggesting primate vocalizations can function as referential signals. However, there is little convincing evidence for functionally referential communication in any great ape species. Here, the authors demonstrate that wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) of Budongo forest, Uganda, give acoustically distinct screams during agonistic interactions depending on the role they play in a conflict. The authors analyzed the acoustic structure of screams of 14 individuals, in the role of both aggressor and victim. The authors found consistent differences in the acoustic structure of the screams, across individuals, depending on the social role the individual played during the conflict. The authors propose that these 2 distinct scream variants, produced by victims and aggressors during agonistic interactions, may be promising candidates for functioning as referential signals.

Newtown Township
Technology Committee
Minutes of the meeting of July 26, 2011
The Newtown Township Technology Committee met on July 26, 2011 in the Newtown Township Building. In attendance and voting were: Chairman Ed Lipski, Vice Chairman Anand Shukla, Bob Penland and Jon Schnell, members.
Call to Order: Mr. Lipski called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM.
Approval of Minutes: Mr. Lipski moved to approve the minutes of June 28, 2011. Mr. Shukla seconded and the motion passed 4-0.
Review of Mid-Month On-Line Meeting: The members discussed management of the Township's technology. During their on-line meeting they had reviewed the products and services of Belarc Systems Management. All agreed that Belarc might not be the appropriate choice for the Township because of its costs.
The members had been provided with a list of the Township's 48 systems plus those in police cars. They will begin to review licenses for the software on each system.
Employee/Volunteer Survey: Mr. Shukla reported that he has begun to compile the results of the employee survey responses. He has completed the questions for the volunteer committee members and will forward the link to the recording secretaries to forward to the volunteers within the week.
The recording secretary said that the Township Planner, Kevin Kochanski has indicated that some municipalities and the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia require that all plans and applications be submitted electronically. While planners and engineers might need paper copies for reviews, it is up to them to print the pages they need. In the municipalities where only electronic copies are used, the volunteer committees are provided with electronic copies for review at home. At meetings, applicants use either screen projectors or television monitors to do presentations. Mr. Kochanski will be filling out the survey as a consultant to the volunteer committees.
5 Year IT Plan: Mr. Lipski said that he would like the lists of current hardware, software and licenses included in the plan.
Mr. Shukla suggested that after the survey results have been compiled, a priority list by department should be developed and included in the plan.
Mr. Lipski said that he would like to discuss technology use and future needs with the police and fire chiefs and include that in the plan as well. He would phone the chiefs before the next meeting to make appointments before the next technology meeting.
The members discussed a master priority list for the plan, which would include business continuity and disaster recovery. Mr. Paramath has volunteered to research this.
The members agreed to begin drafting the plan in September and October with a goal of having some preliminary information ready to provide to the Supervisors for the budget process.
Short Term Goals
Mr. Shukla and Mr. Lipski agreed to meet at the Township building to begin an inventory of the software/licenses.
The members agreed to communicate via e-mail to set the next on-line meeting.
Mr. Shukla moved to adjourn at 8:15 PM. Mr. Schnell seconded and the motion passed 4-0.
Respectfully Submitted:
Mary Donaldson, Recording Secretary

Get 'em while they're HOT! I love biscuits. Actually, I love just about any delicious carb out there but biscuits are definitely near the top of that list. Such a comfort food and perfect for a winter breakfast with coffee. I prefer mine with butter and honey, so for the batch I made I also whipped up some salted honey butter to slather on. Make sure you eat them while hot - or if warming up, warm up until hot. Enjoy!

EAT: fig and pistachio salted dark chocolate
I have about 5-6 different dark chocolate bars sitting at home at any given point in time. You just never know when you're going to crave a square of bittersweet chocolate. And when you do, you need some variety! Although equally delicious, everyone knows a chocolate toffee bar is completely different than a coconut caramel one - right? I guess what I'm trying to say is that chocolate is good. And you can never have too much laying around. And if you feel the same way that I do, you should try making your own chocolate bars!
It's as easy as it looks. There are so many different topping combinations you can try. For mine, I used dried figs, pistachios and sea salt. Partly because I love all those ingredients and partly because I already had them stocked in the house. Use whatcha got!
I learned a lot about chocolate when making these, namely TEMPERING. More on tempering in the instructions, but if you're taking this route you'll need a chocolate thermometer for the method below. This is a good route to take if you'll be gifting these for the holidays as it allows the chocolate to sit out at room temperature and not melt as easily.

DIY: watercolor christmas gift tags
Only ten days away from Christmas! Where does the time go? I feel like time flies twice as fast during the holidays and I can barely keep up. I am majorly looking forward to some quality family and friends time, eating more than I should and just some R&R next week. Some fantastic coffee and a good book and I'll be in heaven. But in the meantime I'll be finishing up things at work, attending a couple more holiday parties and of course - some last minute shopping for gifts and wrapping them up.
This year I made some simple and easy watercolor gift tags for my presents. I love painting and it was actually somewhat of a stress reliever to paint these up before wrapping my gifts. I used some old gloss paint I already had around the house and bought some inexpensive paper tags. Watercolor is so fun because it's difficult to mess up. I just had to make sure I diluted the paint enough with water and to keep it very light and layer on if I wanted some deeper colors in certain areas. I'll probably try these in different colors later on for some non-holiday themed tags!

EAT: french honey crullers
Tis the season for...FRENCH HONEY CRULLERS! I found a recipe for these while perusing through Pinterest (still so addicted) one day and had to find out what they were. They're essentially a version of the almighty donut/doughnut, except lighter and fluffier inside, topped with a delicious honey glaze. Think glazed churro, except not as dense. Hope I've sold you on this because despite what looks to be lengthy instructions, it's actually quite easy to make and doesn't require a ton of special ingredients.
I tweaked the recipe to make it a light pumpkin flavor in both the cruller and glaze. Feel free to add more pumpkin spice (or less) to your liking. Happy Frying!

DIY: studded spikes and rhinestone headphones
What is life without music? Music has the amazing power to set any mood. Through the darkest times in my life, I would have to say music helped me get through it. So what's better than listening to your favorite jams through studded spikes and crystal rhinestone headphones? You can pay good money for some high quality headphones. However, you most likely would want to keep the expensive headphones as is! But on the other hand, nowadays, you can can get some pretty decent headphones for not very much money as well and then bedazzle them yourself! With the latter, you don't have to worry so much about losing or damaging them. I got the headphones below as a gift from my old job that had their logo emblazoned on the side. The sound quality is actually great but I didn't want to use them at my new job with the old job's logo on the side. I came up with an idea to cover it and dress it up with spikes, rhinestones and Swarovski crystals that I had leftover from previous projects. Voila, new job, new headphones and perfect for holiday travel season. I'm bringing these bad boys on my next flight - hopefully, the spikes won't be a problem. Continue below to see how simple it is to bejewel your headphones.
- Lay your choice of studs and rhinestones design on back of headphones until you achieve your desired design.
- Glue pieces to surface.
- Allow at least 1 hour to completely dry.
- Rock your star studded headphones.

Reviews for this vacation villa rental in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Elizabeth Von Der Ahe
Richmond, CA
Great condo at a great value in a great location!
January 9, 2015
My family was lucky enough to stay in this condo over Christmas. The host was very accessible via email for any issues we might have before and during our stay. The layout was really nice, with the master suite downstairs from the other bedrooms. It was immaculately clean, and in a great neighborhood, with access to a great supermarket, deli, restaurants, (try Spicy Tuna - some of the best sushi you'll ever have!) and the beach. The hot tub outside was a wonderful addition to our vacation, not always do you get a hot tub in Mexico. The neighbors were all super sweet and friendly. In all, I'd recommend it highly!!
Went to Villa Hermosa with 6 of my friends for our vacation and we couldn't have asked for more. The view from the house is simply spectacular, sunrise and moonrise were jaw dropping. Very spacious and tastefully decorated. Very quiet neighborhood and very practical location between Cabo and San Jose del Cabo. Practically private beach is just a 5 min walk away. Would recommend a car but if you don't feel like driving there, taxis were our transportation and they were very quick. Will definitely recommend this house to all my family and friends.
We stayed at villa hermosa for 4 nights in April and had an absolute blast. The house is gorgeous with stunning views and has all the amenities you could wish for. The location is just about perfect if you want to stay reasonably close to the airport, have amazing ocean views, undisturbed by the highway, and also be close to San Jose del Cabo. We will try to go back soon!
Thanksgiving in Paradise! We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at Villa Hermosa. Everything we could ask for was there for us. Long walks on the beach, accessible via a short walk. We would walk to the beach each morning and do our stretching and light exercises and we had the beach all to ourselves each morning. We relaxed poolside each afternoon, the weather was perfect and the stereo playing great music. We Bbq'd almost every evening. The house was well equipped for our stay. I would recommend Villa Hermosa very highly. More... · By Kari from Lincoln, CA on 1/4/2011 for a stay in 11/22/2009

Hi Peggy, We thoroughly enjoyed our time in your wonderful villa. The weather was spectacular and the views from the villa were terrific. The location is excellent. Juan Pablo was very gracious and responsive. Thank you for opening your house to us. We got home late last night. Our flight through Chicago was on schedule and without incident. We are fortunate considering the storms on the East coast. Best wishes for the new Year. We are looking forward to our next trip to Los Cabos. Jack and Gigi
Had a wonderful family vacation at this home! Did not want to leave....heaven on earth! big comfy king beds, spectacular sunrises each morning, my skin loved the salt water pool, the kids loved the shallow end for dipping, outdoor shower was a hit with the teenagers coming up from the beach each day. the view.....what a view, miss it, we will return again ....thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Pirelli tires working well for Force India
"Everybody talks about Pirelli tire problems, but it is a good tire, we saw that in Canada," said Adrian Sutil.
This year Pirelli tires are in the headlines for more wrong reasons than right, but for Force India, the tires have worked out well so far. The team put up a rather eventful performance at the Canadian Grand Prix with both their drivers, Paul di Resta and Adrian Sutil, earning points at Montreal.
In Canada the pair finished seventh and 10th, earning some useful points and extending the advantage over McLaren in the constructors' championship, in which the team currently sits a solid fifth. Di Resta, who finished seventh from 17th on the grid, used prime medium compound tires at the start running 56-laps with it before switching to supersofts for the finish.
"I think we knew that on the medium tire, the car was working well. The easy decision was to start with that. But we had no long run data - there was no high fuel running - so we were going into the race completely blind. To do 56 laps on a set was encouraging, and I was really happy to score points," Paul was quoted as saying by www.forceindiaf1.com.
Teammate Sutil too backed the tires stating, "Paul's pace was good and it just shows we don't have a tire problem," Sutil told Autosport. "Everybody talks about Pirelli tire problems, but it is a good tire, we saw that in Canada.

There is no cure for pneumoconiosis. Early detection through regular monitoring of lung function and/or chest X-ray changes combined with efforts to limit exposures to dusts will help protect the lungs from further damage.
Additionally, immunizations against influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia, timely treatment of respiratory infections and regular exercise are essential in maintaining both lung and overall health.

Tomorrow is the PDUFA date for Lorcaserin and everyone expects a Complete Response Letter from the FDA. The big question will be what is required to gain approval the next go around. Regardless of the outcome, I think it is important that Arena begin plans for a Phase IIIb study to look at Drug Interaction effects of taking Lorcaserin in combination with Phentermine.
Locaserin has excellent efficacy on its own and unfortunately, the short-sighted FDA (and Wall Street) has focused only on mean, placebo-adjusted weight loss figures, which in Lorcaserin's case is about 3%. On the surface, that sounds terrible; however, when you look at the meaningful numbers, it is deceptive and doesn't give a fair analysis of the real-world efficacy. I've said before that weight loss medications are 'self-regulating.' Only patients who experience results are likely to continue to take the drug, it is just common sense. I'm sure many of you have had a 10-day prescription for an antibiotic. You are supposed to take the whole bottle. Well after 6 or 7 days, when you are back to feeling great, most stop taking it. Same is true with weight loss drugs. If after a few weeks, you aren't losing weight, you stop taking it.
This is why Completer analysis is so very important in looking at weight loss drug efficacy. Of course in the FDA's review of Lorcaserin, at least as it pertained to the Advisory Committee, they focused mainly on the mean weight loss statistics. There was no discussion whatsoever about the excellent placebo-results on Lorcaserin either. More patients lost weight in Lorcaserin's Placebo-arm than in any other weight loss trial. That is an indicator that the trial was very well-run and patients stuck to the diet and exercise plan. Arena could have easily have been less diligent in the trials regarding counseling and the placebo results would have been more in line with those of Qnexa's trials.
I could practically guarantee that not ONE of the panel members could tell you what Arena's categorical efficacy was without digging through Arena's Briefing Documents. They could probably all tell you that the mean, placebo-adjusted weight loss was only 3%.
Here are the facts for Lorcaserin's Completer weight loss analysis (patients who stayed in the trial for a full year):
- Average Weight Loss for Completers was 8%
- One-third of patients lost at least 10%
- The Top Quartile lost an average of 35lbs
- Patients were TWICE as likely to lose more than 5% of their body weight on Lorcaserin
- Patients were THREE TIMES more likely to lose more than 10% of their body weight on Lorcaserin
Those statistics are not 'modest,' they are impressive. Yet the FDA and Advisory Committee focused only on placebo-adjusted mean weight loss for the Risk vs. Benefit discussion. We already have proven that the Risk part of the equation was overblown due to the FDA's errors in calculating Neoplasm risk, which they continue to ignore. Had the FDA used common sense in spending some time discussing Completer analysis and without the neoplasm risk fabrication, the results of the panel would have been much different and we'd be awaiting an approval and not a CRL.
So if Lorcaserin's efficacy is so good for over half the people who take the drug, then why bother doing a drug interaction with Phentermine? One of the obvious reasons is that it is highly likely some physicians and weight loss clinics will regularly prescribe the two in combination. Phentermine is still the only approved weight loss therapy on the market that meets the FDA's 5% weight loss guideline and is the most widely prescribed drug for weight loss. Unfortunately, you can only take it for 13 weeks at a time because it is a Class IV controlled substance and when patients stop taking it, they quickly gain it back.
I find it interesting that the FDA has spent little time following their own guidelines when it comes to evaluating combination weight loss therapies in the case of their view of VVUS' Qnexa. The FDA states that a combination drug should "exhibit a potentially meaningful improvement in the safety profile compared to the individual components." Not only does Qnexa fail to do that, but it demonstrably compounds the worst safety risks commonly associated with its constituent drugs! Qnexa is only 3% more effective than Phentermine used alone. VVUS is basically taking the most effective generic, combining it with a small amount of Topiramate (which increases the side effects and risk) and saying, take these two together for long term weight loss. Qnexa is a retread of generics 'packaged' to show great efficacy, when in reality, it isn't much more effective than Phentermine as a mono-therapy.
Phentermine is a powerful drug for weight loss but should still be limited to 13 weeks of use. It is outlawed in a number of countries. However, it could be a powerful tool combined with Lorcaserin to speed up early weight loss and introduced later in the treatment cycle when the patient hits a weight loss wall. I suspect you would see Fen-Phen type results of 30lb average weight loss, with a far better safety profile.
I'd propose a 26 week trial to compare the following:
1) Phentermine + Placebo for 13 weeks followed by Placebo for 13 weeks.
2) Phentermine + Lorcaserin for 13 weeks followed by Lorcaserin for 13 weeks.
You'd want to look at Adverse Events during the first 13 weeks, weight loss at 13 weeks and then at 26 weeks. I'd also consider echos at baseline, 13 weeks and 26 weeks. I would bet you'd average 10% weight loss at 26 weeks with more people keeping the weight off in the Lorcaserin group than Phentermine + Placebo group at the end of 26 weeks.
We already know the combination works well in animal studies as evidenced by this graph found in one of Arena's patents for Lorcaserin. (Compound C is Lorcaserin)
This trial would demonstrate that the efficacy and safety of a Lorcaserin + Phentermine therapy is excellent. For most patients, Lorcaserin as a mono-therapy would be enough but for others, using in combination with Phentermine and then going to just Lorcaserin for maintenance would work even better. It would add to the body of evidence that Lorcaserin is a powerful and much needed tool for physicians. This combination would be just as effective and far safer than Qnexa for long term use.
We are spending close to $170B a year treating Obesity in this country yet the FDA continues to evaluate weight loss drugs as a vanity drug instead of an invaluable tool to improve the health of our nation. The average completer weight loss with Lorcaserin would reduce a person's chance of becoming a Type II diabetic by 58%. A diabetic reduces their average life span by a decade. Not only can Lorcaserin improve patient's quality of life, it could save our country Billions of dollars a year in healthcare costs. It is sad the FDA can't see the forest through the trees but what else is new?

Tennis. Anyone?Posted Tuesday, October 14, 2008, at 7:46 AM
There is no one I respected as much as my father, but when he died my old-man was a very old man indeed. He had been an old man for almost as long as I could remember. He was, after all, almost 27 years older than me! He was in constant pain all of my memory, the extent of which we would never have known if our mother hadn't told us. He never mentioned it, never complained. He just went to work every day, loved his family always, and was the greatest single influence on my life.
It was only after he died that I understood about the fire. It was his senior year of high school. There was a very real prospect of his signing with the St Louis Cardinals -- he was a shortstop. World War I had taught medicine a lot about treating third-degree burns. They even did a skin graft. But, according to my mother who had loved him since they were fifteen, he was never the same.
It is probably because I didn't know about the Cardinals or the fire that I had trouble seeing him as a tennis player. He told me one time about a certain day when he was seventeen -- before the War, before the Depression, before the fire. As he recalled it, it was a perfect spring day and he had won the match. "Somehow," he told me, "I have never thought of myself as being any older than I was on that day."
I myself had such a day when I was 18. It could have been yesterday, maybe it was. I was picking up a suit at the cleaners for a date with a beautiful girl. It was one of those purely perfect days -- perfect temperature, perfect humidity, just enough clouds floating overhead. I had a brand-new, straight-off-the-showroom-floor Buick convertible with a mystic blue-green color I never saw again or could describe. [It could do 90 on the highway; but, that is a different story.] Somehow I have never thought of myself as being any older than I was on that day.
As of the day I post this blog, Oct.14, 2008, I have somehow lived through exactly 65 years. There has been now-forgotten pain and unforgettable blessings, incalculable failures, marriage to a woman I would not have lived it without, and five things I seem to have done right. However, like the fiddler on the roof, I don't remember growing older. All I remember for sure is the "sun rise, sun set" part. Whatever happened to that 18-year-old with his perfect day and his perfect car? How and when did he get to be 65-years-old?
The day my father died that old, old man had lived 50 years, 10 months, five days. Somehow that doesn't seem as old today as it did when I was an all-grown-up 22 years, 11 months, three days.
Tennis, anyone?

This blog has touched my heartstrings. I'm reminded of the song, "Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney I believe. Time seems to pass in the blink of an eye. My sisters and I lost our father just this week rather unexpectedly. As I sat by my mother during his graveside military service, I wondered when my dad left his strong, hard-working body behind and how the years could pass so quickly. I hope he realized how much he was loved!
-- Posted by Bigpappy on Tue, Oct 14, 2008, at 9:44 PM
This reminds me so much of my dad. I'm lucky he is still alive but he was old my whole life too. When I graduated high school classmates asked if that was my grandfather taking pictures of me. I said no, my dad was just 60 years old when I graduated. He had me late in life.
Not until I was 30 did he start to open up about his hidden past. His multiple failed marriages, a failed adoption, affair, & learning to waltz & fox trot like on "Dancing with the Stars" when he was young. I have gained a new respect for him now. Last week I placed him in an assisted living facility. He gets around with fancy walker with brakes, and a seat now. His mind is still sharp but his body is failing.
He actually taught me to play tennis when I was just 13. Within 6 months he could no longer play me at the level I had gotten to. He told how he played baseball in the minors until an injury knocked him out.
A lesson for us all is to treasure our fathers while we still have them. Don't let the sunrise and sunset until the day happens where you are saying goodbye to them at their casket. Live life so that you have few regrets.

Not for my rifle
July 5, 2014
These look good but they load hard difficult to seat them in the chamber even with a pen point. Afraid these will damage my breech seals when closing due to slight protrusion of skirt. Maybe these would work for someone with a Precharged or pump that has a bolt that will cam them into the chamber. And accuracy was sub par as well giving me 3.5 inch groups at 25 yards in my Gamo Bull Whisper Bone Collector. Glad I obtained mine in a test pack so I wasn't out the bucks for a whole tin.
Pros:Look good
Cons:Shoot poorly and chamber very hard in MY rifle.
5 Stars
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Accurate and Hard Hitting
January 2, 2014
I use these H&N Baracuda .177 Caliber, 10.65 grain round nose pellets in my RWS 350 Magnum. So far I only shot them from 13 yard distance. Oh boy, these things are so accurate they fall on top of each other from that distance. They make it more than half the way into a 2"x10" wood. I have to relocate the bulls-eye often so that the pellets don't make it completely through the wood, which has happened. Luckily I had a steel plate behind the wood for extra backing. I sampled 25 pellets and measured the head diameter and weight and they were very consistent. The pellets are clean and uniform - none were damaged or dented. The skirt is thick which is a must for a magnum gun. If you own a magnum you owe it to yourself to give these a try. I tried 2 other lighter pellets, 8.2 grains and 9.3 grains (of different brand), although they were accurate, but not as accurate as the Baracuda. I bought 4 tins of 500 from Airgun Depot. I placed my order at night, AGD shipped my order the next day during the busy Christmas season-awesome. During the same period I ordered supplies from a different gun store and they shipped over a week later.
Pros:Bought 4 tins from AGD.

Ohio to charge inmates for electricity in cost saving move
State governments across the country are taking prison budgets apart looking for ways to save money or bring in revenue. In Ohio officials are planning to charge inmates who have radios or televisions in their cells $1 a month for electricity,according to the Columbus Dispatch. The money will be taken out of the inmate's acdcount where their wages–$18 a month–are held.
Most Texas inmates are not paid for their work so don't expect the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to follow suit.

NEW DELHI: Indian banks can now look forward to an easy entry into the US financial market. The government has decided to move amendments to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act that will bring it more in sync with the demands of the US and EU about taking tougher action to block terrorist financing through banking channels.
The demands had been affecting the global expansion plans of banks including the State Bank of India and others, which are planning to set up more branches in these markets.

Post subject: Our little fighter...
Received the news yesterday that our little man has Chronic Lung Disease.
Don't be alarmed by the medical term.
Fortunately this can be healed whilst he grows new lung tissues as he becomes stronger.... So our little man is in for the long haul and won't be home until after his due date, possibly oxygen assisted.
He is unable to cope without the C-pap and will be on it for some time. Due to his condition he will be monitored closely for infections but otherwise he is a happy, contented little soul and he continues to gain weight...
I love him soooooooooooo much!

I was just thinking about you and Lucas yesterday
Im sorry about his lung problems but really chuffed that it can be fixed, and its brilliant that he keeps putting on weight, what weight is he now ?
As hard as it is, he's in the best place, they will fix him up for you and another way to think is that the longer he is in there, the more amazing it will be to have him home.
Me and Aimee are sending him lots of luck and hugs to Lucas xx

Thanx for your kind words...
Yesterday he was weighed in at 3lb 11oz but the day before he was only 3lb 4oz so there is fluid that is inside him that needs to be removed so hopefully today his weight has balanced out as he is on duretics to get rid of the fluid...
I will let you know.
Enjoy your day with your little one... The sun has his hat on!

ELKINS - An Elkins man who was arrested on malicious wounding charges failed to appear for his hearing in Randolph County Magistrate Court on Tuesday and, as a result, is now facing additional legal repercussions.
Ernest Bruce Turner, 70, was arrested on one count of malicious wounding in January after Elkins Police Department officers responded to a domestic violence call on South Davis Avenue on Jan. 15.
According to the criminal complaint, police obtained a statement from the alleged victim claiming Turner "grabbed her right wrist and placed it on the hot stove burner causing her hand to be burnt" after the two had an argument.
Article Photos
Turner was scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Randolph County Magistrate Court at 10 a.m. Tuesday but did not show up at that time, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Lori Haynes said. Chief Magistrate Ben Shepler said Turner turned up Tuesday afternoon claiming that his preliminary hearing was at 3 p.m. Both Haynes and Shepler said the preliminary hearing was scheduled at 10 a.m.
Shepler charged Turner with one count of failure to appear, a felony, and set his bond at $1,000 cash only. Turner is currently being held in Tygart Valley Regional Jail.
Also in Randolph County Magistrate Court Tuesday:
In December, Elkins Police Department officers responded to a call involving a woman who said she had been receiving harassing and threatening texts, phone calls and messages from Hornick, according to the criminal complaint.
The woman said in her written statement that Hornick "repeatedly hit her in the face, then proceeded to twist her arm all the way around in her vehicle during a physical altercation."
She also reported that Hornick left messages on Facebook and called her house continually. She told police that she had about 20 minutes of recordings from Hornick threatening her on the telephone. Police listened to the recordings and heard Hornick making multiple threats toward the woman and her family, according to the complaint.

Heading out of Nashville
Written by | Tom Krasovic | 12:06 p.m., Dec 6, 2007
Padres officials are headed out of Nashville, where the air is crisp, the countryside spackled with autumn colors. Towers has a nasty cough, and, like many people here at the winter meetings, appears sleep-deprived. A typical workday, Towers said, went well past midnight. He said he talked with some other clubs and agents until 4 a.m., then was up and at it again four hours later. Towers didn't even have time to get to a nearby Waffle House, one of his favorite spots when traveling the South. Towers said the Padres had "some interest" in Andruw Jones but only as a one-year addition. He was more interested in other outfielders, such as Japanese star Kosuke Fukudome and Mike Cameron. Towers also reiterated he had concerns that agent Scott Boras would carry the Jones auction into 2008. Boras talked about getting a five-year deal for Jones, 30, but the Dodgers bought him for two years. The Dodgers smartened up from last winter, when they guaranteed Juan Pierre $45 million over five years. Trust me, that deal pleased the Padres. Towers said he expects Jones to rebound from last season, when he batted .222 with 24 home runs and 92 RBI. "He's still young," Towers said. It doesn't appear Jones attracted several offers. Other than a $22-million, two-year bid from the Royals, the Dodgers may have been his only other firm bidder. "I wouldn't say $18 million a year is shabby," Towers said.Sounds like the Cubs might go as high as $12 million to $15 million a year for Fukudome, so it could come down to whether he is willing to take less money to live on the West Coast. As for the ballparks, Wrigley Field looks like a better fit for Fukodome. He hit for good power in Japan, but projects more as a guy who would hit 10-15 home runs, 40 doubles if Petco is his home ballpark. Heck, Brian Giles hit only one home run there last season.For the Cubs, Fukodome is more likely to hit 20-25 home runs. And there is no better place in the majors to be a hitter than the NL Central. Just ask Giles, who hit five home runs in 12 at-bats at Cincinnati's cozy ballpark last season.Defensively, Wrigley also is a better fit for Fukodome. The Cubs may need him in center if Felix Pie can't hold the job. Fukudome is a capable center fielder, but his limitation there are more apt to be exposed in Petco and other NL West parks than at the friendly confines.I blogged a few items about the Rule V draft. The big picture there is the Padres are playing to a few strengths. Petco Park is such a pitchers paradise, the Padres are more likely to have success with a pitcher who is trying to establish himself. Confidence is such a big thing for an athlete, and Petco makes it easier for a pitcher to attack hitters, to "trust his stuff." For many young pitchers, that can make the difference. A lot of them get to the majors and pitch differently, rather than trusting what got them there.The other thing the Padres are doing is acting on the truths that a pitcher's strikeout-walk ratios matter, and that a pitcher with a different look has an advantage. Jose Carlos Guevara has a screwball-like changeup that Padres scouts say is different from what major leaguers are accustomed to seeing. Maybe they'll figure him out down the road, but the Padres want to see if Guevara can capitalize on his advantage. His fastball is average at best, but that's where Petco can help, swallowing up deep flyballs and building a pitcher's confidence.

Alpine Climbing
Mark Synnott
After graduating from Middlebury College in 1993, Mark Synnott had no idea where he was going or what he would do for work. He just knew he wanted to climb. He ended up finding work as a carpenter, since it was conducive to a transient lifestyle. ("Build a house, climb a wall. Build a house, climb a mountain.") Then, in 1996, Mark spent 39 days living on the side of the 4,700-foot north face of Polar Sun Spire, a rock tower rising from a frozen fjord in Canada's Baffin Island. The ascent changed his life and started him on his quest to climb some of the biggest walls on the planet.
