Creamy Red Pepper Polenta with Roasted Mushrooms
The weather around here, in a word, has been crappy. And you can only eat so much soup before you get a hankering for something different but still warm and comforting. Creamy polenta fills the belly and has a hearty texture that satisfies. The dish is really easy to make, and it's amazing the depth of flavour you can get by chucking a few extra things into a blender.
- 4 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 3 cups water
- 1 large red pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
- 1 leek, white and light green section, sliced
- 1/2 cup plain soy milk, or creamer (more, if needed)
- 1 cup polenta
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp sage
- salt and pepper to taste
- parsley, fresh or dried
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1. Toss sliced mushrooms and garlic in olive oil. Spread out on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 mins, turning a few times to keep from burning. Remove from oven, let cool, then peel and mince garlic.
2. While mushrooms roast, place water, red pepper, and leeks in food processor or blender and blend until relatively smooth. Bring to bubbling in a sauce pan, then whisk in polenta. Lower heat and stir in soy milk/creamer. Loosely cover and cook for about 15-20 mins, until thick and creamy and soft. Stir regularly to keep from cooking to the bottom, and add more soy milk if it gets too thick. Stir in spices and minced garlic, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Pour polenta into a large serving dish, then place mushrooms in the centre. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Thai Chickpea Cakes with Cucumber Relish
I am rediscovering my love of Thai food, now that I have more or less forgotten what fish sauce tastes like. I usually just end up chucking in a bunch of different sauces that I have in the fridge to get a more complex flavour: hoisin, vegetarian oyster, stir fry, soy, etc. This is a take on a fish cake--not so much a recreation of the texture and flavour, but more the spirit of the dish (whatever that means!). You can either fry or bake these. The baked version is a little dry, to be honest, by the relish moistens it right up.
Cucumber Relish
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 cups diced cucumber
Chickpea Cakes
- 1 nori sheet
- 1 19oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp red curry paste, or to taste
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oil
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup frozen french cut beans, thawed
1. Heat vinegar, sugar and water over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add garlic, ginger, and shallots. When cool, add cucumber and mix well. Let marinate for as long as possible.
Chickpea Cakes (makes 12)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1. Rip up the nori sheet and place in a food processor with the blade attachment. Process on high speed until chopped into small pieces. Add chickpeas curry paste and pulse until chopped up but not like a paste (you're not making hummus here).
2. Dump chickpeas in a bowl, add sauces, oil, lime juice and mix well. Add cornstarch and mix well. Add beans and mix well.
3. Using wet hands, press mixture into a moistened 1/4 cup measure (don't fill it right up--more like 1/3 full. Place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining mixture.
4. Spray cakes lightly with oil and bake for 15 mins, or until golden--don't over bake or they will be dry. Serve with relish.
5. You can also fry them for about 3 mins per side in 350 degree vegetable oil.

Thai Stuffed Omelets
I hardly ever buy veggie ground round, but for some reason it called my name on this week's shopping trip. I also finally got around to making the omelets from Vegan Brunch, so it seemed to me that these two things could combine together to make a tasty dish. The result: Thai stuffed omelets. I revised Isa's recipe a bit to make the omelet a little more durable, but they are still delicate. The soft texture of the omelet contrasts nicely with the more chewy filling, and the combination of sweet and savoury makes for a delicious dish that can either be an entree or an appetizer.
Makes 6-8
- 1/4 cup instant tapioca
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 pound silken tofu (not Mori-Nu)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp tumeric
- 1 tsp fine black salt
- 1/3 cup chickpea flour
- generous tbsp corn flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pkg veggie ground round (I used Yves)
- 1 tbsp vegan oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1. Place tapioca in a food processor and sprinkle water over top. Let sit for a few mins. Add tofu, nooch, oil, tumeric, and salt. Blend until very smooth. Add chickpea and corn flour, and cornstarch and blend until smooth.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat (you may have to play around with the heat a bit to find the right temp where the omelets can cook without burning). Lightly grease and pour a generous 1/2 cup of batter into the pan. Spread out into an 8" circle with a spatula, then cook until mostly dry on top (a few mins). Flip and cook for another few mins. Remove and let cool for a min or two. I find the omelets are a bit more durable when they sit for a bit.
3. Place about 1/4 cup of filling in the middle of the omelet, then fold the opposite ends of omelet in to create a square. Place on a cookie sheet, cover with foil, and keep warm in the oven while you cook the other omelets.
1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic for 5-7 mins, until soft. Add ground round, sauces, sugar, and tomato. Bring to bubbling and cook for 8-10 mins, until tomato cooks down into a thick sauce. Add cilantro and stir. Keep warm while you cook the omelets.

Apple Jelly
Apple jelly is a small bite of heaven. Subtle in flavour, delicate in texture, and deliciously sweet. Perfect on a piece of toast for breakfast. Like most jellies, apple jelly is more work than your standard fruit jam because the juice needs to first be extracted from the apple. This is an old style jelly that does not rely on commercial pectin to set, but the extra work is well worth the end result.
Makes four 500ml jars of jelly
Apple Juice
- 10 lbs cooking apples
- water
- 8 cups apple juice (from above)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 6 cups sugar
1. Remove stem and blossom end from the apples, then quarter (no need to core). Place in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to bubbling, then loosely cover. Reduce heat and cook for about 20-30 mins, mashing the apples as they soften. Don't cook too long, just until the apples are soft and easily mash-able.
2. Line a large colander with a wet tea towel and place over a large pot or bowl. Dump cooked apples into the colander and let drain for at least 2 hours. The juice will be thick, clear, and slightly pink.
3. Measure out the juice to make sure you have 8 cups. Place in a large pot, add lemon juice and sugar. Bring to boiling over med-hi heat. Boil hard for about 25 mins, stirring regularly. The jelly should sheet off a cold metal spoon when it is ready. Quite frankly, I have never figured out exactly what this means. You will find that the jelly will begin to coat the spoon you are using to stir the jelly.
4. Skim off foam, pour jelly into sterilized and warm jars, screw on lids finger tight, then process in boiling water (making sure jars are fully submerged) for 10 mins. Remove from heat, remove lid, and let cool for 5 mins. Remove from water and let fully cool. Jelly will fully set as it cools.

Pumpkin Rolls (and Bread)
Tonight's post is kind of two ideas in one. First, adding pumpkin to just about any kind of bread is a good idea. I peel and seed the pumpkin, chop it, and boil it in water for about 30 mins until it is soft. I then drain it and blend it in a food processor until very smooth. I have found that this puree can be subbed in for water in bread recipes, almost cup for cup. Start by simply replacing the water with the puree, then add in more as needed. It gives the bread a wonderful light orange/yellow colour and makes it tender and moist.

Apple Juice
We have apples coming out of the wazoo! I guess it is too cold to grow apples up here (there are no local orchards that I know of), so my in-laws bring us a whole whack of apples from down south every fall. So, after making apple pie, apple crisp, and huge batch of apple sauce, we still had tons left. The obvious thing to do next was to try my hand at apple juice. OK, first just let me say that apple juice is A LOT of work. I don't know how they can sell huge cans of it for 99 cents. I started with a recipe in my canning cookbook that called for 24 lbs of apples to be chopped, cooked in 8 cups of water, then hung in a cheesecloth and left to drip for 2 hrs. That sounded like too much work, plus I doubted any cheesecloth could hold 24 lbs of cooked apples. Enter my Jack LaLanne power juicer! I figured the juicer would eliminate the initial cooking step and perhaps filter the juice a bit. Well, it didn't work exactly as planned since the juice still needed considerable straining to filter out all the sediment. Here is what I did to get a delicious juice with an amber colour and cidery taste. Son #1 set up the photo for tonight's post.
Makes about 6L of juice
- 24 lbs apples
- 1 juicer
- 2 clean tea towels, damp (they will get stained)
- two large pots/bowls
- kitchen thermometer
- 6 1L canning jars and lids
Sterilize your jars. Get a large pot of water boiling to process the jars of juice.
1. Use large rubber bands to affix the tea towels over the top of the pots/bowls. Don't make the towel tight over the bowl; rather, make sure it dips into the bowl so it can hold the juice.
2. Working in batches, chop the apples and process them through the juicer. Pour into the towel over one of the bowls and let drip through. You will find that the towel quickly gets gummed up with a pectiny residue, so I made this a pretty rough filtering. Once most of the juice passed through, I detached the towel and squeezed the remaining juice through. Then, I poured it through the other towel while I cleaned the first towel. I then passed it through the first towel once again.
3. Once all the juice has been filtered, heat to 190 degrees F and keep at that temperature for 5 mins. Pour into jars, top with lids, then screw the ring on finger tight. Place in pot of boiling water (making sure water covers lids), return to boiling, then boil for 10 mins with lid on. Remove from heat, remove lid, and let sit for 5 mins. Remove jars from water and let cool.

Thanksgiving Roundup
This post won't help my Canadian readers, but perhaps it will be of some use to all you Americans (and anyone else celebrating Thanksgiving some time soon). First, let me apologize for the lack of a picture (of food--this is from our fall hiking trip). I was all ready to snap a pic of the feast when I realized my battery was dead. Sigh. For the entree I made the Thanksgiving Mini Pot Pies than I blogged about a few days ago. I made a triple batch of the roasted mushroom gravy to pour over absolutely everything. Both the pot pies and the gravy went over very well with vegans and omnis alike. I was afraid that the pies would be a little redundant, but that really wasn't the case. The other problem was how to serve the pies since they were baked in a ramekin. I placed them off centre on the plate, then piled all the other dishes around the ramekin--it worked perfectly. The other dishes were pretty standard: mashed potatoes, baked yams, acorn squash, peas, carrots, and corn. I also made stuffing, though it I didn't stuff it anywhere. First, I made Peter Reinhart's Italian Bread recipe, subbing the water in the dough (not the starter) with pureed pumpkin. The result is a wonderfully soft and golden loaf. I cubed the bread and tossed it with onions and celery that had been sauteed in olive oil. I seasoned it all with sage, thyme, and salt and pepper, and added raisins and dried cranberries and baked at 350 in a greased pan for about 1 hr and 15 mins.

Perfect Pumpkin Custard
When I posted a pumpkin custard recipe a week ago I said I didn't have time to refine it any further. Well, I lied. My in-laws have come to visit and so I took the recipe for another spin. Further research on the interwebs revealed a recipe by Bryanna that used corn flour to thicken the custard and give it colour. I gave this a try and I also revised the method to make the whole thing easier.

Thanksgiving Mini Pot Pies with Roasted Mushroom Gravy
Canadian Thanksgiving is just around the corner so I took our holiday meal for a test run. I am not in the mood for seitan this year--for some reason it just does not appeal. Obviously, this recipe isn't breaking the mold but it really is tasty. After all, Thanksgiving dinner is really like a big plate of pot pie anyway. I suppose that means this entree might be a bit redundant, except that the roasted mushroom gravy takes it to another level. In fact, you might want to make extra gravy to pour over all those other fall veggies you will be serving.
Makes 8 individual pot pies
Roasted Mushroom Gravy
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4 shallots, unpeeled
- 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 2 tbsp oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp margarine
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 cup plain soy milk
- 1 cup water
- splash of mushroom soy sauce (optional)
- sage and thyme to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 recipe puff pastry (sub margarine for butter)
- 6 small potatoes, thinly sliced
- 3 large carrots, thinly sliced
- 19 oz can white kidney beans
- 1 cup (or more) fresh cranberries
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1. Toss sliced mushrooms, shallots, and garlic in olive oil. Spread out on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 mins, turning a few times to keep from burning. Remove from oven, let cool, the peel and chop shallots and garlic.
2. Heat margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir. Let flour darken slightly, then add chopped shallots and garlic. Slowly add soy milk, water, and mushrooms and bring to bubbling. Add soy sauce, if using. Season to taste with spices and salt and pepper (I like a really sagey gravy). Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch potatoes for 1 min, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain. Repeat with carrots.
4. Lightly grease 8 ramekins (1 cup capacity). Spoon a layer of gravy on the bottom. Top with a layer of sliced potatoes, then carrots. Top that with another layer of gravy, then top with beans and cranberries. Top with more gravy, then a final layer of potatoes. Note: don't go too crazy on the gravy or your pies will bubble over and make a huge mess. It's OK to have some gravy left over.
5. Roll out puff pastry to about 1/2" thick and cut into circles to fit the top of the ramekin (use the leftovers to make turnovers). Top each pot pie with the pastry, then bake for 20-25 mins, or until pastry is golden and gravy is bubbling.

Pumpkin Custard
The experimentation with year's batch of pumpkins has begun! Since Canadian Thanksgiving is next Monday, I am in the kitchen trying to plan out this year's meal. I wanted to make a baked custard with a caramel bottom, but the trick is trying to mimic the texture of an egg custard. I tried this recipe a few different ways, and this version is the best. It's not really like a "real" custard, but it is still really good. I'm also not sure if I am complicating the method a bit, but I have run out of time to refine the recipe further. In any event, the end result is still really good and is a great alternative for those who aren't crazy about pumpkin pie.
NOTE: I have revised this recipe here.
Makes 4 custard cups
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 2 cups plain soy milk
- 1 tbsp agar agar flakes
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp arrowroot
1. Grease 4 ramekins (with 1 cup capacity).
2. Place sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Without stirring, heat sugar until it caramelizes (turns brown and liquefies). Shake pan to melt all the sugar. Add spices, quickly stir in, then quickly pour 1/4 of mixture into each ramekin to coat the bottom. Set ramekins aside.
3. Whisk agar flakes into soy milk and sugar and heat in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to bubbling, stirring constantly, until agar is fully dissolved. Place in the fridge to cool and set (about 1 hr).
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Get a kettle of water boiling.
5. When soy milk mixture has set, place in a food processor with coconut cream, pumpkin, vanilla, and arrowroot. Process until very smooth. Pour into the four ramekins.
6. Place ramekins in a 9 x 13 pan, and fill pan with boiling water, no more than 1/3 the way up the ramekins. Bake in the oven for 45-50 mins, until top has browned and center has set.
7. Cool in the fridge until custard has fully set.
To serve, place ramekin back in hot water, or microwave for 10-15 seconds to reheat caramel. Either eat the custard in the ramekin, or run a sharp knife around the edge and invert into a shallow bowl. If some caramel is left behind, heat ramekin again and pour caramel over the custard.

Oyster Mushroom Sushi
Back when I posted my recipe for Grilled King Oyster Mushrooms, Shohga suggested grilling the mushrooms brushed with ponzu and then using them in sushi. I thought that sounded like a great idea, so I filed it away in my brain to try later. The other day I went on the hunt for some ponzu, but couldn't find any without bonito (a type of fish). So, I decided to use some mirin instead. Since my grill was out of propane, I tossed the shrooms into a pan over medium heat and kept splashing them with mirin until cooked. I put them in the sushi roll with some chopped bok choy that I briefly pan fried in a little light soy sauce. The shrooms were slightly sweet and the bok choy added a light crunch. Dipped in some soy and wasabi, it was some mighty good sushi.

"It was traveling at a slow rate of speed when, unfortunately, two young children ran out in front of the light rail vehicle," New Jersey Transit spokeswoman Penny Bassett-Hackett said. "And the vehicle came into contact with one of the kids."
The child was treated and released at the scene, according to Bassett-Hackett, who added that no other injuries were reported and no further investigation will take place regarding the accident.
Trains are currently running with 20 minute delays at all stops on the line, which runs from 8th Street in Bayonne to Tonnelle Avenue.

Nearly five years since the collapse of Bernard Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme, the fraudster himself is showing no signs of stress as he serves out a 150-year prison sentence, according to a report on Marketwatch.
"This is as good as it gets," Madoff told a reporter for the news service, which is affiliated with the Wall Street Journal. He was comparing the North Carolina penitentiary he now calls home to others within the federal system, though he jokingly complained that his younger brother's prison is even nicer.
Peter Madoff is serving 10 years in a South Carolina prison after pleading guilty to his role in the fraud that fleeced $17.5 billion from investors and which was discovered on Dec. 11, 2008.
The report notes that the 75-year-old Bernard Madoff was in good spirits for most of the interview, though he also made sure to point some fingers as well. Among other things, he called Harry Markopolos, the whistleblower who unsuccessfully attempted to alert the Securities and Exchange Commission with his suspicions about the Madoff scheme, "an idiot." He also claimed banks knowingly went along with the fraud, though he said only one of his own employees, Frank DiPascali of Bridgewater, knew what was happening.
DiPascali, who pleaded guilty to 10 criminal counts in connection with the Madoff fraud, is the government's star witness in its ongoing trial against five former Madoff workers accused of helping Madoff keeping his fraud going while enriching themselves off the spoils. The defendants, who include Westfield's JoAnn Crupi, have said they too were duped by the fraud.
At the other end of the spectrum are Madoff's victims, who are still stinging from the fraud, according to a report by the Associated Press.
While a trustee involved in recovering money for investors in the scheme has been able to collect about $9.5 billion to be returned to victims, some people who lost their retirement savings in the fraud won't see a cent of recovery. That's because they were been deemed "net winners" of the fraud – in other words, they collected more in purported returns than the principal they invested, the AP reports.
Meanwhile, more than half of the victims who were allowed to make a claim for money lost in the scheme have been fully repaid, the Wall Street Journal reports. So far, the bankruptcy trustee in charge of the Madoff estate has paid out $4.9 billion. The other $4.3 billion that's been recovered has been set aside pending litigation, the paper notes.
Seton Hall bankruptcy law professor Stephen Lubben tells the paper "it's surprising they've gotten that much so far," given the legal challenges the trustee has faced.
Even more money is at stake in a pair of cases pending before a federal appeals court in New York, the Journal reports.
A total of more than $7 billion in potential recoveries hinges on the outcome of these cases, one of which involves victims of the fraud fighting to collect interest on the amounts they're owed. The other case involves the bankruptcy trustee attempting to overturn a decision that would limit his ability to "claw back" gains from some who were net winners of Madoff's scheme, the Journal said.

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Brandon Morrow allowed just one run over 6 2/3 innings as the Blue Jays took a 4-1 decision over the Royals to complete a four-game sweep at Kauffman Stadium on Monday.
Morrow (1-1) scattered seven hits and struck out three in the victory, while Francisco Cordero pitched a scoreless bottom of the ninth to record his second save of the year.
Jose Bautista belted a two-run blast and Kelly Johnson added a solo shot to help the Jays earn their 10th win of the season.
Bruce Chen (0-2) was charged with three runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings in the start. Eric Hosmer finished with two hits, including a solo homer, but the Royals fell for the 11th straight time overall and a franchise-record 10th straight at home to open the season.

A man will do just about anything when braving the frozen tundra. And for an upcoming episode of the Discovery Channel series Man vs. Wild, Will Ferrell even drank urine.
Joining Bear Grylls for 48 hours in Sweden's ice-bound mountain ranges, Ferrell tandem-abseiled off a helicopter, rappelled down hundred-foot frozen waterfalls and made snow shoes from saplings.
"To be able to participate in an episode of Man vs. Wild was a thrill of a lifetime, even though I did get urine-drunk, which is sad," Ferrell said.
The interesting drink choice was paired with a meal of reindeer eyeballs.
"Will did an amazing job in subzero, very unforgiving conditions," Grylls said. "He should be very proud of how he performed." He added to Variety: "He trusted me when it mattered and we survived."
Ferrell's episode of Man vs. Wild will air the first week of June on Discovery, coinciding with his Land of the Lost debut, which hits theaters June 5.

Featured Golf News
A Look at Golf in the Far East Part 3
Part 3. Bang-Bang, Knock-Knock
Editors Note: In this three-part travelogue, Cybergolfs Rick Corcoran writes about his experiences of a September 2004 golf trip to Thailand. Rick discusses his experiences on and off several golf courses, and lends his personal observations of an exotic country in the Far East. Based on what he chronicles in this Thai adventure, we dont believe Rick will ever be the same.
One of the many pleasurable experiences in Pattaya Beach, or just about anywhere in Thailand, is getting a massage. You cant throw a dead cat without hitting a massage parlor. They are about as prevalent as coffee shops in Seattle. By the way, java junkies can relax Starbucks is in Thailand.
As with most other things Thai, massage sessions are very cheap. For the price of a lunch, you can get a one- or two-hour oil or a Thai massage. The cost of a non-resort massage is only $8 for an hour, and a princely $12 for two hours. Its an outrage how they gouge you here!
What they dont take in cash, they will take out of your flesh and blood. While a regular oil massage is similar to what youd expect in the States, a Thai massage is something entirely different. Imagine, if you will, traveling in a car on the freeway and getting into a rollover accident at 60 miles-per-hour where youre tossed and turned, thrown back and forth for two hours and then, when you come to a rest, having an elephant use you for a Stair Master. Get the picture?
A couple of times following a round of golf, we went to what was essentially a massage warehouse with a bazillion rooms. The rooms had as few as two beds, while others held 40 beds or more. My nine fellow travelers and I would end up in the same room on mattresses laid out side by side in a darkly lit room. Not my idea of a relaxing massage experience but, what the hell, cant beat the price. Once you get into your massage pajamas, which come in two sizes, Pee-Wee Herman or Offensive Tackle for the Seattle Seahawks, youre ready for the fun to begin.
Bow-bow means softer, and knock-knock means harder. Knock-knock was never uttered by anyone in the room. At one point, a sensitive spot was either touched by the massage girl or she hit bone marrow. The unfortunate recipient, Joey, let out a BOW-WOW-YOW-NOW-OWEEEE that raised the dead. The whole experience is like going to a horror film where, when the action slows, you know something thatll make your eyes pop out is going to happen. The thrill is that you just dont know when.
Please dont think Im trying to scare you away from Thai massages. Having someone drive their knuckles, elbows and knees into spots that havent been pushed so hard since high school football practice has its bright spots. One is that youve lived through it. What is lost in years off of your life during the massage is regained in the euphoric state after its all done and, of course, realizing that none of your bones are broken.
Bang-Bang, Lift Off
After a great time in Pattaya Beach, we headed to Bangkok. On the way you get a chance to enjoy the scenery and wonder what our poor GIs in Vietnam must have gone through. In these mountains, so lush and thick with trees, could be hidden the New Orleans Superdome.
One mid-way stop was an elephant ride and shooting range. Nice combo. No, they dont shoot elephants here. But for one crisp U.S. dollar you can get lifted off the ground by a four-legged Winnebago with crossed tusks that provide a nice seat for a ride into the air. The activity certainly wasnt hurting the elephant; this guy was strong enough to flip our bus if he so desired.
If getting bounced by a wooly mammoth wasnt enough fun, then make your way to the shooting range, where for a few bucks you can fire an AK-47, Magnum-45 or just about any firearm in the movie Scarface. I aimed at little milk bottle-sized targets, and the only thing I managed to hit was air. Did I mention I had a few beers on the bus? The NRA would be proud.
Next Stop: Bangkok
Bangkok is a city of over 7 million in a country with a population of 65 million. Cruising into Bangkok, poverty is prominently displayed. At the other end of the tax scale are people living in apartments and high rises that are packed together like . . . I was going to say sardines, but I think those salty fish have more room to move in their resting place. On the city streets en route the hotel is what looks like the biggest swap meet this side of Alpha Centauri. Every sidewalk teems with racks of clothes, tables of goods, and grills making all manner of breakfasts, lunches and dinners for passersby.
Traffic in Bangkok is best described as the Daytona 500 with a mix of tourist buses, trucks, cars and scooters which buzz in and out of lanes like mosquitoes trying to avoid a can of Raid. Not to worry though, our driver negotiated the highways and byways with the skill of Magellan circumnavigating the globe.
We enjoyed really nice digs on the tour, including the Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa. The five-star resort sits alongside the Chao Phraya, the "River of Kings." You wont go lacking at this stylish palace. Everything you need is at the 10-acre resort. With only 11 restaurants though, you might go hungry. I didnt see a stingray on any menus, but we were treated to more great buffets. And the staff was more helpful than a bunch of construction workers trying to help a supermodel carry her groceries.
While in Bangkok youll go to what is known as The Grand Palace. Established in 1782, the facility houses the royal residence as well as some government offices. The grounds of The Grand Palace provide a wonderful glimpse of Thailands architecture and history. If forced to paint the intricate tiles that adorn the multi-spired temples here, youd probably make like a King and go jump in your river.
After the temple tour, you take a ride in a long, knifelike boat with an exposed engine and a propeller shaft that seems about 50 yards long. Once on the river, which can be seen through about as easily as a brick, you glide past The Grand Palace while trying to avoid other boats driven so badly their pilots couldnt get a car license.
After navigating the main part of the river, you detour through some canals past property that looks like its going to fall into the river very soon. We stopped the boat to buy some bread from a mobile, aquatic mini-mart, for reasons unknown to me at the time. Once we cruised a little farther, though, we stopped and some of our crew started throwing the bread in the water. All of a sudden, a thousand fins came to the surface with 2- to 3-foot catfish attached to them. The scene was like 6 a.m. at Nordstrom the morning after Thanksgiving! These catfish act like they hadnt eaten since the Grand Temple was built. I thought about dipping my hand in the water to touch them, but decided my fingers would be better used for another round of golf.
Is the Prime Minister In?
The last golf course on the tour is Alpine Golf & Sports Club, located about an hour outside of Bangkok. The private course is owned by the Prime Minister of Thailand and is very exclusive. Its almost as tough getting on as Bandon Dunes in mid-July. You have to know a member or be in a tour group to tee it up here, and Golfing Asia has the right connections. The one time of year you wont get on Alpine is when theyre preparing for the Johnny Walker Classic at the end of January and early February. At that time, the big boys Els, Garcia, Jimenez, Goosen and the like take over the pristine layout in search of victory, or least a scorpion sandwich.
Alpine G&SC is one of the best-manicured courses youll ever see. As a matter of fact, I might ask the superintendent to cut my hair since his course is in such great shape. The 7,100-yard layout was built on a flat piece of ground. But enough dirt was moved during construction to create rolling hills that will block your views of other holes as well as wayward tee shots. Water and trees dot most of the holes, and the greens are probably the slickest in Thailand. The folks at Augusta National had better stay on their toes to stay ahead of this track as far as maintenance is concerned. It was so nice you almost didnt want to take a divot.
But if you do take a divot or two, no worries your caddie will fill it in for you. The caddie (only one this time) I had at Alpine was the best of the whole trip. As a group, they are trained as well as caddies on the PGA Tour. Dressed in full jacket and pants, wearing a visor so big it could provide enough lift to get a 747 off the ground, these women know their stuff. Expertly giving yardages and figuring out what club you should hit after only the second hole, they were experienced as well.
The course is easy to walk, and we did that as we teed off early in the morning when the temperature was reasonable. After walking a few holes though, you started to perspire. But never fear, the caddies all had fold-out fans for cooling as you waited for the next shot. Even better, during waits these angels of the links whipped out little camping chairs to sit on while you sipped a cool beverage.
It took hitting a crappy shot from time to time to make you realize you werent in golf heaven. But at this course and with its caddies, you could at least catch a glimpse of it. Further evidencing their attention to the smallest detail came when a brief rain shower fell during our back nine. Nonplussed, my goddess of the greens retrieved a rain cover out of thin air and covered my bag before the first drop of rain hit. When that happened, I seriously began harboring thoughts of moving to Thailand.
What seals the deal at Alpine and the other courses we played are the snack-shacks on about every fourth hole. These little eateries are stocked with just about anything youd want to drink at prices found only at Costcos super bulk-buyer bin. We bought the caddies drinks each time we passed one of the shacks. The cost of a few bottles of water, Gatorade and green-tea sodas added up to the price of a beer at the average municipal.
Paradise has been found. Its name is Alpine Golf & Sports Club.
Did Someone Say Massage?
The end of our trip was at hand and, before our last supper, we had a final chance for a massage. Gee, another massage. At his point in the trip I had become a Pavlov dog. Upon hearing the word massage, I started frothing at the mouth and diving on the cushions near me. Do I really want to get on the plane feeling like a bowl of chocolate pudding? Decisions, decisions. Oh why not. Good choice indeed.
Miss Chen is the main contact for Asia Golfing in Thailand, and she helps make everything smooth once youre there. Miss Chen also happens to be one of the owners of the De La Mode Salon & Spa in the heart of Bangkok. This is the high-end kind of place I associate with people with money to burn and a lot of Bic lighters. The thing about this place is that it wont suck up the last stash of Baht you had hidden to buy that special something-something before leaving the country.
We took full advantage of Package No. 1. It consisted of a half-hour body scrub, a 20-minute bubble bath (rubber ducky not included) and a 40-minute aromatherapy massage (like a 2 mile-an-hour bumper tap compared to a Thai massage) all in a dimly lit room with soothing music. It helped make all those double and triple bogeys (ok, and a quad) slip out of my mind and into oblivion. In the States Im told this same treatment would run $150 or more. But in the land of dollar-go-far, it was only $65! Wow, what a country!
I had enough Bahts left over to buy a few Singah beers at the airport to prepare me for the trip back to reality, which part of me wished didnt have to come. I highly recommend all golfers should take a trip to the far side of the Pacific and enjoy a fun golf adventure they didnt think possible. But when you get back home, remember not to declare to customs the caddie youve stashed in your golf bag.

Seeking to prevent a "Napsterization" of digital video broadcasts, the FCC Aug. 4 approved 13 digital output protection technologies and recording methods under criteria set forth in the previous broadcast flag order. In that action, the FCC put in motion a mechanism to protect digital broadcasters from unauthorized redistribution of their programming that attempted to balance content protection with consumer use and enjoyment of the content. The commission's Aug. 4 order found that each technology approved is appropriate for broadcast flag use in DTV reception equipment. The certified technologies include:
The FCC's review of these technologies extends only to their suitability in protecting digital broadcast television content.
Not all parties were happy with the action. The National Football League, the Motion Picture Association of America and the NAB object to TiVoGuard, which would allow 10 TiVo-owning family members or friends to share programming via the Internet.
The action was approved by Chairman Michael Powell and Commissioners Kathleen Abernathy, Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein. Commissioner Martin approved in part and concurred in part.

Video game puts players in shoes of Syrian rebels
BEIRUT -- A new video game based on Syria's civil war challenges players to make hard choices facing the country's rebels. Is it better to negotiate peace with the regime of President Bashar Assad, for example, or dispatch jihadist fighters to kill pro-government thugs?
The British designer of "Endgame: Syria" said he hopes the game will inform people who might otherwise remain ignorant about the conflict.
Views differ on the appropriateness of using a video game to discuss a crisis that has killed more than 60,000 people since March 2011. Computer giant Apple has refused to distribute the game and some observers consider the mere idea insulting. Others love it, and one fan from inside Syria has suggested changes to make the game better mirror the actual war.
Tomas Rawlings, who designed the game, said he got the idea while watching TV pundits debate the consequences of arming Syria's rebels, which Western nations have declined to do. He said he thought a game could explore such questions by allowing players to make choices and see their consequences.

Lotte Targets Sweet-Toothed Kazakhs
For South Korea's candy makers, the nation's ultra-low birth rate presents a business challenge: a declining number of candy-munching kids.
Lotte Confectionery, the second largest domestic player by sales, is taking another step to cope with that with a deal announced Tuesday to buy Kazakhstan-based candy firm Rakhat JSC for $156.6 million.
A person familiar with the deal said that Kazakhstan was an attractive bridgehead for Lotte because people there on average consume significantly more chocolate and candy than in South Korea. Rakhat has around a 20% market share in the country.
Kazakhstan is also an important market for Lotte as it looks to grow into the Commonwealth of Independent States area because the country has customs unions with Russia and other neighboring states such as Uzbekistan, the person added.
Analysts say overseas expansion is an inevitable choice for Korean confectioners.
Snack makers here now have less sweet-loving Korean children to tempt, while increasingly health conscious adults are staying away from sugary treats. Seniors in South Korea are traditionally bigger fans of health foods such as ginseng.
Lotte feels the domestic confectionery market has peaked and is trying to broaden its presence in the wider Asia region, the person familiar with the deal told Korea Real Time.
In 2011, Lotte bought a controlling stake in a Pakistani confectioner K. S. Sulemanji Esmailji & Sons (Private) Ltd. for $18 million.
Orion Corp., South Korea's largest confectioner by sales, has been increasing investment in China, where it's building its fifth factory. Around 60% of its total revenues come from overseas sales now.
A Tongyang Securities report in August last year showed that revenues of the nation's four largest confectioners grew more than 10% annually through 1997, but growth rate has slowed to single digits since then.
South Korea's birth-rate ranks in the bottom five or six in the world. The CIA World Factbook gives the rate as 8.42 births per year per 1,000 people in 2012.
Lotte will buy a 76.2% stake in Rakhat from its chief executive and family and U.K. investment firm BD Associates, while collecting the remaining shares from the market by the end of the year.
Lotte Confectionery had a net profit of 89.8 billion won ($79 million) and sales of KRW1.86 trillion in 2012.

War is being declared - literally and repeatedly - on stage at the Academy of Music in the acclaimed opera Silent Night, which has much to do with Christmas, though on an anything-but-silent World War I battlefield.
Knowing that, audience members at Friday's Opera Philadelphia opening might wonder if they're in the wrong theater: Initially, the opera appears to be, and for some minutes sounds like, 18th-century Mozart. But that opera-within-an-opera, being performed in 1914 Germany, is interrupted by officers of the Imperial Army announcing the outbreak of World War I.
Soon, the stage is dominated by a bombed-out church surrounded by German, French, and English encampments. With great hesitation and unfortunate consequences, these warring troops were to converge in no-man's-land for a temporary truce on Christmas Eve 1914, when the shooting stopped and enemies became, if briefly, friends.

ST. PETERSBURG—After Andres Rodriguez Torres shot and killed his friend outside a downtown Publix early Saturday, police said, he dragged a witness back to his apartment and held him captive.
Police said Torres, 26, shot Eddy Vasquez, 27, twice in the abdomen with a semiautomatic handgun while they argued outside the Publix on Third Street S about 4 a.m. after a night of bar hopping. Vasquez died at Bayfront Health St. Petersburg Hospital a few hours later.
Much about what sparked the violence between the longtime friends and former classmates remained unclear Monday. But arrest affidavits obtained Monday did shed new light on what happened after the shooting.
Torres, reports state, turned on a witness who saw him shoot Vasquez. He gripped the witness in a headlock and took him back to his apartment at 324 Fourth St. S. and told him he couldn't leave. The witness was afraid Torres would kill him, the report states.
Police arrested Torres at his apartment just before 8:45 a.m. Saturday. The report did not identify the witness and it's unclear whether that person was still being held captive when police arrived to arrest Torres.
Vasquez was the director of international sales at the Gainesville-based online music-streaming service Grooveshark. He was in town for a friend's wedding Friday night. Friends say he went from that event to downtown St. Petersburg to celebrate Torres' birthday.
Pavle Stojkovic, Vasquez's best friend, was confounded Monday even as new information began to trickle in. In St. Petersburg to help Vasquez's family plan his funeral, Stojkovic, 26, said he knew Torres through Vasquez. When he read initial news reports about the shooting, Stojkovic thought the suspect's name was a coincidence, that "there's another Andres."
Stojkovic is still struggling to piece together the night's events but doesn't think he knows the witness who police say Torres kidnapped. Mutual friends who spent time with the pair earlier in the evening had fallen away by the time of the shooting, Stojkovic said.
"Everyone that's connected to me in any way was long gone before that," Stojkovic said.
Torres was charged with armed kidnapping and second degree murder. He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail, where he remained without bond Monday.
"What would be important to me would be just what Andres was thinking," Stojkovic said. "That's the internal component that only he can give us."

Writer: Student body needs to rethink its priorities (Login Required)
"I need to talk about the Carleton bubble. I haven't really talked to anybody about the Carleton bubble since I was a freshman, but that is not, I think, something that indicates it has burst. Rather, it seems to me that it is no longer a dangling feature of Carleton, but instead a defining component of this school—something not fought against or even joked about, but taken for granted and even appreciated by everyone who is a part of this community."
The downside of academic rigor (Login Required)
"As notable educator Kurt Hahn said, "Education must enable young people to effect what they have recognized to be right, despite hardships, despite dangers, despite inner skepticism, despite boredom and despite mockery from the world." Can Carleton claim to be helping us in this regard, or is this something simply beyond the scope of a four-year collegiate institution? I'm not sure, but I believe it is at least worth considering."
Blinded by the liberal arts mind-set (Login Required)
"As it stands now, I am armed with higher-order thinking skills, but I have no concept of what jobs I can pursue nor how to pursue them. Carleton gave me knowledge, but I do not know how to use what I have learned, and so what use is that knowledge anyway?"
Meaningless good intentions (Login Required)
" It would be a relief to see my peers worry less about policing "microaggressions" and instead worry more about how the War on Drugs has destroyed the lives of millions of black and brown families across this country. I'm not arguing that all of us on this campus should strive to be wonks obsessed with the nitty-gritty details of real-world policy, but rather that we should use more of our potential in ways that will actually shape tangible change, instead of merely saying the right words that sound pretty and then patting ourselves on the back for supposedly doing our part."

Where Once Was Prairie (Login Required)
"The Arb looked pretty different circa 1800. To the west of the Cannon River, dense forest, the "Big Woods," stretched for miles while open prairie and oak savanna dominated the landscape to the east. These neighboring ecosystems supported radically different plant and animal life. The Big Woods were full of hardwoods while the prairie was home to species such as big bluestem grass and prairie chickens."

A Billtown cab driver was seriously wounded when he was shot in his cab on Elmira Street, just south of Glenwood Avenue just before 6 a.m. Thursday, city police said.
The victim managed to drive himself to the emergency room at the Williamsport Regional Medical Center, about four blocks west of the shooting scene, Assistant Police Chief Timothy Miller said.
"We have two people here that are being detained and questioned," Miller said outside his office at police headquarters about 11:30 a.m.

Williamsport's Special Response Team exits 679 Campbell St. in Williamsport after executing a search warrant in connection with the shooting of a cab driver on Thursday morning.
No one has been charged, he added.
Police believe the cab driver may have been shot by a man he picked up minutes earlier in the area of Campbell and High streets, Miller said.
"At this time, we have not yet determined if the gunman was inside or outside the cab when the shooting occurred," Miller said.
Investigators suspect the call for the cab may have come from a double home at 679-681 Campbell St., a large three-story property located on the southwest corner of Campbell and High streets.
After obtaining a search warrant, members of the police department's Special Response Team stormed the structure about 9:30 a.m.
"For your safety, show yourself now," a team member was heard yelling before entering the 679 side. It took at least an hour until the team completed its search.
No one was found inside, Miller said.
The two people who were being questioned at police headquarters late this morning came from that house, but they were removed from the property before the search was conducted.
Once the cab driver arrived at the hospital, medical staff did all they could to try to stabilize his condition so that he could be taken by ambulance to a trauma center. Inclement weather prevented a medical helicopter from flying.
"I heard what I thought was a single pop," Joel Henderson, who lives on Elmira Street in a house next to the Trinity Gospel Church, where he is pastor, said. He was in his bedroom at the time.
He looked out a window and saw a cab on Elmira Street, facing south.
"I saw someone hunched down by the driver's window, probably talking to the driver. The taxi then just sped off," Henderson said.
He also saw a man running east down an alley behind his home, where he has lived for eight years.
Miller said, "We're going to do everything in our power to bring to justice the person responsible."
Miller said late Thursday afternoon the victim came out of surgery successfully. "We're keeping him and our family in our prayers," he added.

High Definition Surveying
High quality 3D laser scanning for architectural, mechanical,
structural, industrial, construction and roadway projects.
Benefits of Laser Scanning
Millions of real-world data points
Rapid data capture means a single laser scan captures millions of points per second. In contrast to hand measurements, where only one measurement can be taken at a time, a single scan provides an incredible level of detail over every exposed inch of walls, floors, ceilings, mechanical systems, structural components, architectural components, etc.
Answer unanticipated questions
The point cloud produced by laser scanning is complete documentation of the as-built environment, eliminating the need to return to the project to answer unanticipated questions. The data can also be shared with team members and sub-consultants that may otherwise conduct their own survey of the site.
Optimize schedule and minimize shut-down times
Scanning is non-intrusive and doesn't require industrial facilities to shut down in order to be performed. At hospitals, sports venues and entertainment centers, scanning can be performed during off hours. Understanding real-world conditions can help project managers make informed decisions about the construction schedule.
Eliminate Error
Hand measurements acquired from cloth or steel tape measures that have sag and linear distortion and are subject to human error. Laser scanning is the most accurate form of measurement available; millions of points to within 1-2 mm accuracy per measurement.
Reduce change orders and waste
The cost of a scan pales in comparison to the average cost of change orders. Scanning can help facility managers recognize discrepancies in data by providing accurate measurements before a problem arises and ensure the accuracy of prefabricated materials being manufactured offsite.
Increase safety
Acquiring hand measurements can be dangerous. Using a 3D scanner improves safety by keeping workers out of harm's way while saving time, costs, and increasing accuracy.

What Our Clients Are Saying:
"Having a model helped me to visualize a simple revision to the design that ended up saving a full 10 months out of the construction schedule. I am positive that I simply would have not noticed this potential if it weren't for having the accurate scanned information at my disposal. It has been a very positive experience for me and has proven its value several times. The contractors see the value through our day to day planning with the model, and visualizing the work before it happens. The owner is recognizing the cost savings of shaving 10 months off of the project schedule and has also become an advocate of 3D scanning."− Paul Schmidt, Senior Project Manager, Messer Construction
"Truescan3D makes it easier for us to be successful with our clients and provide deliverables that others cannot. We have the confidence and trust to send them to our clients facilities all over the region and they represent L&F like one of our own. We can't think of a better partner than Truescan3D to expand our service offerings."− Gregory Buccola, LEED AP BD+C, Director of Structural Marketing, Luckett & Farley
"With your industry leading technology and experience, I received my model under budget and quicker than than going to the site for takeoffs and creating the Revit model in-house. We saved two full-time modelers a minimum of 4 to 5 weeks creating the existing building structure and MEP systems. With your team's professionalism at the job site, the owner was pleased to see the non-interruption to the facility's day to day operations."− Matthew Stuver, BIM Manager, Dynamix Engineering

LEWISBURG - If the first half was any indication as to how Wednesday night was going to play out for the St. Francis women's basketball team, then it was going to be a long night for the Red Flash.
Fortunately, they showed up in the second half.
Sparked by a pair of double-digit, second-half runs, St. Francis was able to hold off Bucknell, 62-54, at Sojka Pavilion to give the program its first 2-0 start since 1976-77.
"Bucknell played extremely hard," St. Francis coach Joe Haigh said. "The first half was a little bit disappointing with our intensity level. Bucknell really kind of took it to us in the first half. They did a great, great job.
"I was very happy with the way we responded. I'm really proud of our team and how hard they played in the second half."
After St. Francis quickly stole the lead on buckets by Shene Fleming and Kia Gibbs to open the second half, Bucknell (0-2) responded with a 9-0 run, culminating with Katherine Harris' 3.
But the Red Flash one-upped the Bison.
Not only did they rattle off an 11-0 run of their own to retake the lead, the Flash found another gear and extended their advantage with an 11-1 run moments later.
And it was none other than Alli Williams that jump-started the second burst with three straight baskets.
The junior finished with 22 points, including eight on the decisive run. She also grabbed 19 rebounds - 11 in the first half - for her second double-double of the season.
"You get to a point in a game where you're sick of going back-and-forth," Williams said. "I figured I'd just take it on my back and increase the lead. And of course, my teammates were doing a great job of playing defense."
"Some of the shots Alli made were tough, contested shots," Haigh said. "I'm very impressed with her. She's able to play 40 minutes, she's able to play that hard, and really, 19 rebounds against the front line of Bucknell is very impressive."
But the St. Francis defense was equally impressive.
The Red Flash forced 21 turnovers, most of which came in the deciding spurts, and held the Bison to just 15-of-56 (27 percent) shooting.
"That's the way we play," Haigh said. "We'll pressure you the whole game and hopefully we'll cause some turnovers. We try to wear teams down."
"We out-efforted Xavier on Saturday - I know we came out on the short end of that stick tonight," Bucknell coach Aaron Roussell said. "We came into this - offensively, I thought we had an advantage in the post. We didn't do a very good job at finishing at the basket, but I thought we took a lot of quick shots."
Starting senior Kia Gibbs and freshmen bench player Aisha Brock didn't have big nights offensively, but their defense proved invaluable. As did the effort from freshmen Rebecca Sparks and Robin Perkins.
In all, seven bench players got in the game for the Red Flash, partly because of significant foul trouble.
"It was a challenge sometimes," Haigh said. "With starters in foul trouble and sitting out a lot of the first half, our bench players did a great job. Those contributions off the bench were good to see."
"We had a ton of people come off the bench and do a great job," Williams said. "I think that's a really good thing when your starters get in foul trouble, people come in and it doesn't break down your level of play. I think that was huge."
The Red Flash turnaround actually started just before the end of the first half.
Down 23-17 with 7 seconds remaining until recess, Hope Phillips - a 6-foot-2 center - curled to the top of the arc off of a broken play and drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
According to Haigh, her range comes as no surprise.
"We were running a play for Alli [Williams] and Hope was the second option," Haigh said of the set play out of a timeout. "[Brittany] Lilley found her and she hit the shot. It was a huge momentum swing going in [at halftime] down three instead of down six."
St. Francis returns to DeGol Arena on Sunday to host Akron.
ST. FRANCIS (2-0): Fleming 2-6 0-2 4, Williams 10-21 2-3 22, Gibbs 3-12 3-7 10, Lilley 0-4 4-6 4, Hayward 3-9 0-0 6, Carangelo 1-5 0-2 3, Brock 1-5 0-0 3, Sparks 0-1 0-0 0, Perkins 1-3 0-0 2, Keegan 2-5 1-1 5, Watts 0-2 0-0 0, Phillips 1-1 0-0 3. Totals 24-74 10-21 62.
BUCKNELL (0-2): Dotson 1-2 6-6 8, Horbatuck 2-6 5-7 9, Dunn 4-11 2-2 11, Romine 4-17 2-2 12, Jones 1-8 2-4 4, Mgbada 1-3 0-0 2, Voss 1-5 3-6 5, Harris 1-3 0-0 3, Heider 0-1 0-0 0, Imperllizeri 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 15-56 20-27 54.

yep, went to bed early last night and woke up this morning groggy, I think I got caught in the middle of a deep sleep part of the sleep cycle, I kind of feel dazed. I will go to bed early tonight too. DD slept all afternoon yesterday. It was good for her, she has had a hard semester and is down to 1 paper and one final, so she needed the emotional release of the crying, and all the sleep too I am sure.
DD was very pleased with himself, many many people congratulated him on how well he spoke and what a good talk it was, so lots of ego boosting. Plus I am sure he was happy to be done with it. While it is an amazing experience, it is emotionally draining. He slept all afternoon as well. He has only got today and tomorrow left of classes. Then he has IB Assessments on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Monday (one a day), then the school's finals week is next week-but he is exempt from all of those exams so he will essentially be done, except for his French IB Assessment is actually the Monday after graduation.
He is graduating in the top 10% of his class. Except for Valedictorian and Salutatorian our school district doesn't do any other rankings except the top 10%-which they have to do for the lottery scholarships. On his graduation robes he will have all sorts of "cords" they hang around their necks for "Graduation with Distinction" for "National Honor Society" (he was president of that), for the "Top 10%" and for "IB Diploma". His tassel is different too because of the NHS. He is very proud of himself.
Today we drive DD back, and I will bring home the rest of her stuff minus what she needs for the next 10 days. Amazing what that kid managed to fit into that dorm room!
Alrighty, I don't know how it could be true but I am retaining water. Well I know I didn't drink enough, but I sure lost a lot! Anyway puffy fingers this morning. Today is not the day I will make up for it by drinking either since I will be in the car all day. While it would be a great way to get enough water, it is obviously not great in terms of places to then expel that water. I didn't get on the scale-basically forgot.
Busy weekend is almost over.

How Julianne Hough Keeps Her Dogs Close
"Wearing my Lexi and Harley socks that the sweet and thoughtful @tessatooley got for me in southport!" she wrote on Instagram this week. "LOVE them!"
Lexi and Harley, Hough's Cavalier King Charles spaniels, usually have a place on or very near their owner.
"They're my kids," she told PEOPLE in 2011. "They're my babies."
Courtesy Julianne Hough
Four-year-old Lexi and 2-year-old Harley warmed up next to Hough on Sunday, when the trio huddled together by a roaring fire.
"Nothing better than cuddling by a fire with my girls while I read!" Hough wrote on Twitter. "What a perfect Sunday night!"

Thank you WonkyGirl!
I just want to say that I admire your talent for putting colors together and selecting complimentary fabrics! Your projects are quite lovely! I look to you for inspiration. Thank you.
What a lovely compliment Barbara! Thank you!
Love the quilt you made for your cat. They always get the best things to sleep on.
Since the video is not caption. How many packets, white fabric and size? Thanks
For this quilt, which is a king size, I used 4 charm packets and you will need an equal amount of the neutral background fabric.
Your quilt is lovely. I decided to make one myself. Can you tell me how you quilted the top. I am having a hard time deciding to free motion quilt it or stitch in the ditch. Do you have any ideas?
sorry for the late comment, I ended up just free motion quilting with an all over design, nothing too fussy.

After spreading the rumor that Radziwill had used a ghostwriter to pen her best-selling memoir, What Remains, the "bookgate" fight between the two escalated at Drescher's housewarming party.
"You're so pompous and so elitist," said Drescher, 43.
"I don't talk about your parenting, don't talk about my career," snapped Radziwill, 50.
"Word on the street is you had What Remains ghostwritten," said Drescher.
"There's no word. There's no street. It's dialogue from a cop show she saw," Radziwill responded. "You, Aviva, are a sick, sick person. You are a psychopath."
"Nobody writes their own book," said Drescher. (Author side note: Um, yes people do!)
"Harry, it's so nice to meet you," Radziwill said sarcastically to Drescher's ex-husband as she exited the party. "I totally understand your divorce."
Radziwill later confided in her editor, Barbara Jones, about what Drescher had said.
"That's crazy," Jones laughed. "It would be so much easier if you had a ghostwriter. A ghostwriter wouldn't be rewriting [your novel] at the last minute and driving me crazy."
There was nothing, crazier, however, than Sonja Morgan's new intern training, which included burning of candles to change the energy and talk of clogged plumbing and power-washing furniture.
"Team Sonja," as Morgan called her large group of interns, "come from wealthy families," and included Tyler, Morgan's "gay husband."
"Having an intern is like having another child," Morgan said, before explaining to her new "social media" intern that she wanted to be promoted as a "down-to-earth, hard worker, one of the people, fun."
Morgan, 50, told her interns that she got paid a lot of money to show women how to do "cat-eye" makeup as well as speaking engagements.
"I'm considered a MILF, so some of the colleges like that," she said with complete seriousness.
"Our life is a series of unpleasant business," Tyler told the new intern.
"And then we go to a gay bar and get s---faced," Morgan replied.

NEWARK, N.J. - It's hard to say which is worse, that Claude Giroux could be suspended for an elimination game or that the way the Flyers are playing, it barely seems to matter.
You kept waiting for Giroux to make his mark on this second-round series, to take out his frustration on the New Jersey Devils. But an indefensible cheap shot from behind was not exactly what anyone had in mind.
Giroux's sneak attack on Dainius Zubrus pretty much summed up where the Flyers are in this series. They can't skate with the Devils, can't outsmart the Devils, can't outhustle the Devils. They are frustrated and incapable of turning this thing around.

World Superbike champion Carlos Ducati has yet to test Ducati's new Panigale 1199, but is set to ride the exciting new Italian machine during a test in June. The Panigale was in competitive action for the first time in the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup race at Imola, when Eddi La Marra put the bike on the podium in third place. Ducati is adopting a tried and tested development strategy with the Panigale, with the Superstock class used as a testing ground as work continues on the Superbike version.
Reigning champion Checa, who completed the double at Imola, has a test on the Panigale – Ducati's most radical model for some time – scheduled for Mugello following the World Superbike round at Misano.
Ducati Corse's Superbike boss Ernesto Marinelli said: "Checa has not tested it yet – a strange coincidence but it was not planned. We hope to have him make a nice test around June. "Every other test we have is very close to races, so it is not particularly nice to test too soon before a race. The Panigale is a different bike and the feel is different too, so we do not want to take Carlos' concentration from the championship. That is his primary target. "His test is scheduled for Mugello after the Misano round, in one of our regular development tests we do every month."
Marinelli, meanwhile, was satisfied with the Panigale's racing debut at Imola but feels it could so easily have been a winning one as La Marra was leading the race before the red flags were deployed. "I know the potential of the bike is definitely higher than it appeared in Imola," he said. "I was quite pleased in race one with La Marra and overall with La Marra's performance over the weekend. I would have expected a bit more from the other riders, from [Lorenzo] Savadori and [Federico] Sandi, but Sandi had not been on the bike since the first test he did at Phillip Island with Liberty Racing. "He also had to adapt on the tyres, and also he had not ridden at Imola during the three days of testing there that most others had, as a test for the CIV championship."
"I think it was a very strange race," continued Marinelli. "La Marra did very well in the first part, and he was leading by 1.5 seconds before they put out the red flag.
"Our thoughts were that he was heading for his first win but they stopped it and he had already used all his four sets of tyres.
"He had to restart with the same tyres he finished the first leg on. They tell me Sylvain Barrier and [Loris] Baz each had one tyre that was barely used left (from their allocation), so they used them on the second part. "With a five-lap race and no aggregate any more, it was one-shot race after that. Overall I have to say I was happy."
Britain's Kev Coghlan finished seventh on the DMC Racing Panigale ahead of Savadori in Imola.
