It was September 2010, and Manhattan's Eleven Madison Park had rocketed up the buzz chart among the dining cognoscenti. Its Swiss-born wunderkind chef, Daniel Humm, was plating dishes that could display at the Museum of Modern Art. It already had been bestowed four stars by Frank Bruni, then-restaurant critic for the New York Times.
Humm and General Manager Will Guidara were riding high and operating on forward momentum, and like in the movie "Speed," the assumption was something bad happens if the bus didn't keep moving.
So what did they do? Eleven Madison Park slammed on the brakes. They closed for two weeks and questioned everything they had done heretofore.
To become an even better restaurant, they realized, the answer wasn't to employ more advanced techniques to higher-priced ingredients. It was antithetical to how restaurants operated -- loosening collars was the new buttoning-up.
"We wanted to make the experience feel more like going to someone's home," Humm said.
They remodeled the kitchen and redesigned its menu, but many changes were more subtle. Now the food was served by the very chefs who cooked the dishes, and they were encouraged to lean on the table while describing to customers. On menus, they boiled down high-brow descriptions to a single word.
Guidara explained their rationale: You tell dinner guests "we're having duck," not "we're having lavender-glazed duck with fennel and peaches." (Which is why the multi-ingredient dish appears on the menu, simply, as "Duck.")
The Eleven Madison Park team swung by the Tribune test kitchen recently, in the middle of a nationwide tour to promote their lavish, 6-pound coffee-table cookbook "Eleven Madison Park: The Cookbook" (Little, Brown and Co.; $50).
They shared ideas that home cooks can use when entertaining dinner guests, many of which they've applied to their four-star restaurant. As Humm demonstrated a braised beef short rib dish with celery root puree (adapted for home cooks from a similar veal cheek recipe), Guidara spoke on the notion of balance -- how they want the restaurant to feel like going out and coming home.
"It's one of the major themes in the book: the balance between classic and modern, simple and complicated, rustic and refined," Guidara said. "Always maintain balance."
As a hallmark at Eleven Madison Park, every diner is sent home with a jar of granola. With home dinner parties, most guests bring a gift, so how about turning it around on the guests and giving them a present on their way out?
Humm suggested jam as a gift that's easy to make and stores well. "People are going to have breakfast for the next month and be reminded of that experience," Humm said.
Guidara said another great parting gift is a CD of the dinner party playlist they just heard.
"People spend so much time cooking or cleaning their house, but hosts don't ever pay attention to music," he said. "It's important to spend a little time and put together a great playlist. It completes the whole entertaining experience."
It's the tiny details that elevate dinner parties from great to memorable. Something as simple as serving food on warm plates (a few minutes in the microwave) is a nice touch.
Guidara talked about one of his favorite host tricks: Learn to make one cocktail really well and become regarded as the expert.
"You want to become known for it. Mine's a Manhattan."
In those two weeks off for re-evaluation, the crew at Eleven Madison Park took one step forward then two steps back. The move was risky, but critics responded in kind. In May, it won Outstanding Restaurant from the James Beard Foundation, tantamount to winning best picture at the Oscars. This October, the influential Michelin Guide elevated the restaurant from one to three stars, its highest rating. "A dream come true," Humm said.
Note: In "Eleven Madison Park," Humm includes a recipe for black truffle braised veal cheeks with parsnip. He adapted the dish for home cooks, substituting short ribs for the veal cheeks, and eliminating some of the accompaniments. Along with the ribs and celery root puree here, you can serve braised carrot, celery root and celery.
Braised Short Ribs with Celery Root
8 boneless beef short ribs
1 each, diced: carrot, rib celery, white onion
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 bottle (750 milliliters) red wine
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
1-2 cups beef stock
Celery root puree, see recipe below
Place the short ribs, carrot, celery, onion, thyme and bay leaf in a large nonreactive container. Cover with the wine; marinate in the refrigerator, 48 hours. Remove the ribs from the marinade; pat dry. Strain the marinade, reserving the liquid and the vegetables separately. Heat the liquid to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, skimming any impurities. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
Heat the oven to 275 degrees. Season the ribs with the salt. Heat the oil in a large, straight-sided oven-safe pan over high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides, 30 to 45 seconds per side. Remove from the pan. Drain any excess oil from the pan; lower the heat to medium. Add the strained vegetables. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste; cook 3 minutes.
Pour in the strained red wine, scrapping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; reduce by half. Add 1 cup stock; heat to a simmer. Return the ribs to the pan; add more stock if needed to come halfway up the ribs. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the ribs are tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork, about 2 hours.
Gently remove the ribs from the braising liquid; set aside. Strain the liquid; discard the vegetables. Reduce the liquid over medium heat to the consistency of a glaze, 30-40 minutes. To glaze the ribs, add them to the glaze, basting until heated through.
To serve, spoon 2 tablespoons celery root puree in pools on each of eight plates. Place ribs and some of the glaze at edge of puree.
Makes 8 servings.
Celery Root Puree
1 pound celery root, peeled, diced, about 3 1/2 cups
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
Combine the celery root with the half-and-half in a medium saucepan; place over medium heat. Wrap the thyme and garlic in a piece of cheesecloth, tie with butcher's twine, and add to the saucepan. Heat to just under a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer until the celery root is tender, 20-25 minutes.
Discard the thyme and garlic. Strain, reserving celery root and liquid separately. Transfer the celery root to a blender; blend, gradually adding liquid as necessary until smooth but not too loose. With the blender still running, add the butter. Season with the salt.
Makes 8 servings.

Why does everybody call...
.. him Fedor Emelianenko?
Its actually pronounced Fyodor as far as I know. Like Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Its the same name. He is a world famouse and recognised author if you didnt know:)
Even the Japanese announcer in Pride got it right, but we cant?
I mean its not a sin to pronounce his name right but its just suprising that I have heard NOONE pronounce it right in USA, UK etc. Just a thought.
Good point, when i'm talking about him to mates, I say Fedor, but if I'm by myself and trying to be like Pride Ring Announcers, i'm like EMELIANENKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FYOOOOOOOOOOOODOOOOOOOR.
I say it with the korean accent. Fedor is known in korea as "HyoDoRu".
Or as Takada says, Emelianenk FShodorsich
I say it either or from time to time doesn't really matter to me it's just a name
I'm pretty sure Fedor would have corrected a lot of people on it mainly Randy, who still calls him Fedor.
Thats true sometimes but my point is that they always say Fyodor and not Fedor.. Yet I have never heard anyone from the States pronounce it right..
I've heard Fedor (feh), Fador (fay) and now Fyodor (wtf?)
is that pronounced like fee yo dor? Dont get it lol.
Seems confusing but the rigth pronounciation is Fyodor.
Pronounced Fyo-dor:thumbsup:

James Tate was just 23 years old in 1967 when his first book, The Lost Pilot, appeared as winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award, the preeminent prize of its time. As a measure of just how well his first book was received, Julian Symons in New Statesmen wrote how he turned with "pleasure" to Tate after reviewing Anne Sexton, William Carlos Williams, and James Dickey. He then went on to single Tate out as the "most distinctive" when considered in relation to Donald Justice and John Ashbery.After such an auspicious beginning, Tate continued publishing regularly through the 1970s and into the 80s, with books appearing frequently, every one to three years. Though occasionally delving into linguistic …

Finding out someone's IP address is like finding their phone number, an IP address can be used to find the general location where that person lives. If you can email the person, or get them to click a link on a forum, you can find out their IP easily.
1. Surf to www.whatstheirip.com. The site will ask for your email. Enter your email and click "get links".
2. You will be emailed a couple links. The links when clicked will lead to a "page not found" and "invalid thread specified". When one of the links is clicked it will email you back the IP of whoever clicked the link.
3. If its a victim that I have interaction with on a board or forum I always ask them "Is this you they are referring to in this thread"....the person invariably clicks the link and I'm emailed back their IP
Now of course once you have someones IP you can remotely shut down their computer or port scan them or whatever your deviant mind can think of.

Raiders of the Lost Ark
By Raiding Hollywood Lore and His Childhood Fantasies, Steven Spielberg Rediscovers An Ark That's Pure Gold
But Spielberg was already working on Raiders of the Lost Ark, a feature-length reprise of the serials of yore in which hero Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, battles Nazi villains in a race to unearth the shattered tablets of the original Ten Commandments. The film opened last month to near-unanimous raves (though critic Pauline Kael, in the past a Spielberg admirer, likened seeing the fast-paced film to being put through a Cuisinart) and has already grossed $46.7 million.
From the beginning Spielberg was determined to redeem himself for the excesses that had dogged 1941. "Steven was totally organized from the first frame," says Paramount Pictures chief Michael Eisner, who was appalled by 1941 but was convinced Spielberg wouldn't make the same mistakes twice. "He got in one or two takes what other people take 10 to get. Every cent we spent is on the screen." Spielberg personally made 2,700 sketches showing every scene in Raiders before shooting, one reason he was able to bring the film in 12 days ahead of schedule and dead on its $20 million budget, despite one challenge after another. One scene, which required 7,200 live snakes, had to be postponed while a supply of snakebite antidote was flown in from India. Another time, an out-of-control fire during a barroom-brawl scene nearly leveled London's EMI Elstree Studios. On location in Tunisia, cast and crew were at the mercy of flies, dysentery and 120° heat, but through it all Spielberg stayed cool. "He makes working fun," says Ford. "He's so secure about what he's doing that he welcomes input from everyone." Adds Mike Fenton, who helped cast the movie, "We would never send an actor with a star mentality to Steven. He doesn't have an ego, and he hasn't got time for that sort of thing. He just loves making movies."
Such is his passion, in fact, that the millions he makes seem almost irrelevant. A perfectionist who used his own money, and broke union rules, to re-shoot part of Jaws in his film editor's swimming pool just days before it opened, he often puts in 100-hour weeks, then gets physically ill when a picture is finished. "It means that the project is over," explains his screen-Photographs by writer sister, Anne. "On a film, the people involved become his family. He loves them, and he hates for it to be done and to leave everyone. That's why he goes from one thing to the next." Spielberg once said: "Making movies is really all I know how to do."
Born in Cincinnati, Steven was a skinny kid with big ears, and he admits, "I suffered through school as a wimp." "Steven always had a highly developed imagination," says his mother, Leah, once an aspiring concert pianist. "He was afraid of everything. When he was little he would insist that I lift the top of the baby grand so he could see the strings while I played. Then he would fall on the floor, screaming in fear."
By age 10, however, Steven had learned to inspire fear in others. "He loved to torment his sisters, all of whom are younger," says his mother. "When I would put Annie to bed, Steven would hide outside her window and say in this eerie voice, 'I am the MOOOOON!' Annie would scream in terror. Another time he cut the head off one of Nancy's dolls and served it to her on a platter, surrounded by lettuce and tomato. Steven was not a cuddly child." Sister Anne agrees. "Every Saturday morning my parents would escape from the four of us kids," she recalls. "The minute they were out of the house I would run to my room and blockade the door. Steven would push it all away and then punch me out. My arms would be all black and blue. Sue and Nancy would get it next, if they had done some misdeed. Then when he was through doling out punishment, we would all get down to making his movies."
The filmmaking started after the Spielbergs moved to Phoenix in 1955. Steven's father, Arnold, an electrical engineer fascinated by science fiction, began shooting home movies, and he was baited by his son. "If you know so much," the elder Spielberg finally challenged him, "why don't you try?" Soon Steven was starring his family in a series of horror films, which he financed with a tree-debugging business. "He'd always have us in crazy costumes doing outrageous things," Anne recalls. "At the preview of Jaws, I remember thinking, 'For years he just scared us. Now he gets to scare the masses.' "
"People ask me if I knew Steven was a genius," says his mother. "I didn't know what Steven was. From 12 on, he was always writing little scripts and enlisting everyone to act in them. I supplied the cold cuts. Once he got a hospital to close off a wing for one of his location shots. Another time he got the airport to close a runway. No one ever said no to him, and it's a good thing. Steven doesn't understand no."
When he was 16 the Spielbergs moved to California. Steven finished high school and his parents got divorced. (Remarried, Leah Adler runs a kosher eatery in West L.A.) Steven enrolled at Long Beach State but spent most of his time hanging out at the Universal lot. Soon he was introduced to a young would-be producer who put up $10,000 for Amblin', a 22-minute short about a boy and a girl who hitchhike through the desert. The film attracted the attention of Sid Sheinberg, now president of Universal, who signed Steven, then 20, to a seven-year contract.
Spielberg next honed his skills on TV, where his first assignment involved directing Joan Crawford in a Night Gallery pilot. "I went over to her apartment," he recalls, "and she greeted me with a blindfold on. She was going to be playing a blind person, and she went lurching around the apartment. I was terrified. When I suggested we go to lunch, she took off her blindfold and said, 'I'm not going to be seen in public with you. People will think you're my child.' " But after the show wrapped, she called Steven a "genius."
Spielberg went on to direct episodes of Marcus Welby, Columbo and Owen Marshall and a harrowing 1971 TV movie, Duel, in which a mild-mannered motorist (Dennis Weaver) is threatened for 74 minutes by a menacing black truck. Released in theaters in Europe, it was critically acclaimed, even attracting the attention of Spielberg's idol François Truffaut, who later accepted a part in Close Encounters. Spielberg found backers for his first feature, The Sugarland Express, starring Goldie Hawn, a critical (and minor box office) success. While editing that, he saw advance galleys of Peter Benchley's novel Jaws. "I thought it was about a pornographic dentist," he jokes.
After taking the novel home, he begged the producers to be allowed to direct it, and later asked Richard Dreyfuss to star. "I told him the picture would only take two months," he recalls. "He said it would take six, that the shark wouldn't work and I would have nothing but grief." As an oracle, Dreyfuss proved highly reliable, but the picture made Spielberg a millionaire. It also won three Oscars, though Spielberg had to wait for Close Encounters before being nominated for directing. He claims that film, which he also wrote, grew out of his dismay that he might never know if UFOs are real. "One night," he said, "I went outside, looked up at the sky and started crying. I thought I was falling apart." He eventually went $6 million over budget, but the film did so well at the box office the producers allowed him to shoot four new scenes and release a retread "Special Edition" in 1980.
Before the re-release, Spielberg left with actress Amy Irving for a trip to Japan, where they planned to be married. Instead, they split (neither will talk about the reasons), and Steven returned home alone. The breakup coincided with the release of 1941, which marked the low point of a brilliant career. "It's almost a good thing that everything happened at once and I got it over with," says Spielberg. "To this day I have never read a review of that movie."
Describing himself as "suspicious of women" after splitting with Irving, Spielberg played it safe by dating a series of 19-and 20-year-olds, including actress Valerie Bertinelli. "They were all nice girls," he says, "but I was playing big brother." Then he was introduced to Kathleen Carey, now 32. A divorcée who works in the record business, she began spending time with Spielberg listening to music, and eventually the relationship ripened. "Amy and I must have been together for a year and a half before we got to be friends," says Spielberg, "but Kathleen and I were friends before we were lovers. That makes a real difference."
Carey, who is negotiating to run a subsidiary of Warner Records, says, "Steven inspires me in my career, and I help him to be a more rounded person. He was always so busy working before he never had time for real relationships. He needs friends, not people telling him how wonderful he is." The couple have no plans for marriage or children, and Kathleen keeps her own place in L.A., though she spends most of her time in Steven's 14-room lumber-and-fieldstone Beverly Hills mansion. On weekends the scene shifts to his Malibu beach house, where Spielberg and Carey sometimes cook dinner for friends. Steven, however, prefers tacos and pizza. "His idea of exercise," says Kathleen, "is to sit on the beach eating Häagen-Dazs ice cream while I run a mile."
A no-show at most Hollywood parties ("When I go, I'm the guy in the corner eating all the dip"), Spielberg reads voraciously and spends much of his downtime watching TV. "All I see is junk," says Carey, "but he looks for scripts and techniques." So frightened of elevators he sometimes holds meetings in lobbies, Spielberg rarely drinks and won't have ashtrays in his office. Much of his time is spent talking shop with movie cronies Brian (Dressed to Kill) De Palma, John (Big Wednesday) Milius and George (Star Wars) Lucas, who produced Raiders after he and Steven hatched the idea on a 1977 Hawaiian vacation. Steven relished their advice, because the trouble with 1941, he suspected, was that "people were intimidated by my success, and didn't tell me when something was wrong."
Spielberg doesn't plan to make the same mistake again. He may direct a Raiders sequel—the current film is part of a planned trilogy—and perhaps even Star Wars IV for Lucas. He is currently producing Poltergeist, a chiller with occult overtones, and in the early fall he plans to direct E.T., a film about Chicago schoolkids. Says Spielberg, "I want to begin working with more personal subjects and in a more intimate manner. I'm coming out of my pyrotechnic stage," he concludes. "Now I'm going in for close-ups."

Toad in the hole (game)
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (March 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Toad in the hole is a pub game, involving throwing brass coins at a lead topped table with a hole in the middle. A variation of this game has been played in pubs in East Sussex, UK, the 'hole' being in the centre of the lead which is on top of a wooden table. Toad in the hole is a more refined version of the coin-throwing game Pitch penny.
The only known league in the country is based in East Sussex, and has three divisions, involving roughly 21 teams based in pubs around the county. There is also a major "International Competition", run by Lewes Lions Club and held in Lewes every year.
The game itself involves throwing four brass coins or "toads" from the same distance as a dart board, to a square toad table, made of wooden legs and with a lead surface. If a toad goes down the hole it scores 2 points, or if it lands on the top it scores 1. If it hits the back of the table, or falls off it is void, so a grand total of 8 points per turn can be scored. Scoring is performed in darts fashion, playing from 31 down. The first competitor throws 2 toads, with their opponent then throwing 3, and from then on they throw all 4, until they reach scores of less than four, wherein only the number of toads equal to the required finishing score may be thrown. Like darts you must finish exactly - scoring more causes you to "bust".
For the last two years the Laughing Fish have won the league, but the game is getting a lot more competitive with teams trying ever harder to improve. Pubs outside the county are also trying to compete, with The Woolpack, Burgess Hill aiming to compete in the near future.

- 2007 Kings Head
- 2008 The Laughing Fish
- 2009 The Laughing Fish
- 2012 The Chalk Pit
- 2013 Old Azurians
The official rules of toads as used at the International Competition[edit]
Throw Scoring: Toad into the hole is 2 points and cleanly on the table without hitting the back is 1 point.
Game Scoring: Starts at 31 for each game and decreases by points scored until 0 is reached. The first team to 0 wins the game.
Starting a Match: A coin may be tossed to see which of the teams is to start the first game.
Starting a Game: At the start of each game the first player in each team uses 2 toads, the next player uses 3 toads, and the next player and those thereafter use 4 toads.
Ending a Game: Where a score of less than 4 is needed to finish a game, then only that number of toads may be used, i.e.; if there are only three points left, the thrower may only play three toads.
Matches: Best of 3 games (5 in the final) but, if a team wins the first 2 games (3 in the final out of 3 or 4), then the match ends.
Variants of this game are played both wider afield in Europe, for example Spain where it is known as juego de la rana, the Basque Country where it is known as igel jokoa or the jeu de la grenouille in France. Outside Europe, it is widely played in South America where it is variously known as juego de la rana in Chile, juego de sapo in Peru and Argentina, tiro al sapo in Bolivia and Peru, and just rana in Colombia.

I haven't watched Thuppakki yet: Deepthi
By Venkadesan S

Last Updated: 27th November 2012 12:44 PM
She might have been suitable as actor Vijay's sister in Thuppakki, but actor Deepthi has no clue about it as she is yet to watch the film. "I live in Pune and Thuppakki hasn't released here yet. Hopefully, I will watch the film in a day or two," she says. Director A R Murugadoss already knew Deepthi since she had done a small role in his production venture Engeyum Eppodhum and seemed to have found her apt for the role in Thuppakki. "Not just him, even Vijay sir said I resembled his late sister Vidhya. Vijay was very simple and friendly on the shooting spot. I was reluctant to talk to him initially keeping his star stature in mind but he would casually come and sit with us while not shooting," she says.
Deepthi, a Keralite settled in Pune and is currently pursuing her MBA in HR and Marketing. She started as an anchor in a Malayalam TV channel and later made her entry into films. She is playing the female lead in an upcoming film titled Thulli Vilayadu. "I shot for the film for about 35 days and it was easy as major portions were in North India. Director Vincent Selva was very fast and we shot at least five scenes every day," she says.

thanks, good tips. The Lumix was pretty inexpensive relative to the other comparable options so I'll try it out and see how I like it. I am taking my family on vacation next week so will have ample opportunity to put it through the paces.

One of the most important and powerful aspects of public speaking is acknowledging there are times when anxiety, nerves or circumstances get the best of you.
You can be the most confident and persuasive communicator, but can still be thrown off. You can have a bad day or you can give a performance that just goes to the core of how you see yourself and creates concern about how others view you.
Recently, I was giving a presentation at a major conference. Going in, I was not only confident of my message and my material, but also felt good about my ability to deliver it.
I did have some personal issues on my mind but I was focused and ready to connect with my audience. Yet, at some point in the first few minutes (in a room that lacked air conditioning and had the heat on at about 75 degrees) I found myself feeling physically uncomfortable. This translated into that clammy, perspiring feeling that we all love when you are making a speech.
Instead of just laughing it off and ignoring it, I found myself becoming more aware of the circumstance. I started asking myself how it could be that such an experienced professional communicator should feel uncomfortable in any situation, even if it were 100 degrees. That thought spiraled into another, which began to challenge my confidence level. When that happens, the race is on.
Simply put, when speaking in public, you have just a few moments to decide how you are going to handle that initial feeling of stress or anxiety. As the speech went on, my content was still relevant, but I found myself feeling more and more like I wanted to get out of there. When the speech ended, the audience politely applauded, but by then I was in big time "get me out of here" mode.
But now the real work begins. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to let it defeat you? And, ultimately, what can you take from all this?
What I'd like to share with readers is that you have absolutely no choice but to get back on the horse once you fall. In fact, the longer you stay on the sidelines reliving the intricate details of this stress-producing communication experience, the less likely it is you'll recover and put it in the past. My advice is to actually seek opportunities to be back out there and present in public.
Yankees relief pitcher Mariano Rivera is considered the greatest closer in the history of baseball, but there have been times where he has given up a critical hit or a home run to blow a big game. Imagine if he let that bad experience define who he is and how he sees himself?
What makes Rivera great is that when things go bad in one game, he wants the ball immediately the next night to prove his worth. The key is to get the "bad movie" out of your head and make a "new movie" with a better outcome.
When it comes to baseball, communication or business, you can't think your way through a situation in which you failed or came up short. Analyzing it won't make it go away. Understanding what happened is fine, but obsessing over it is problematic.
So for all of us, from the most experienced communicators to those who are just getting their feet wet, understand that coming up short in any presentation is part of the game. It is natural. It happens.
But like anything in life, 10 percent of our success is what happens to us, and 90 percent is how we deal with it. So don't let any communication mistake or foul-up stop you from getting right back up there and trying again. Remember, the ball is in your court.

Justin Bieber On Twitter – Consumes 3% Of Website Servers
Justin Bieber is one of those celebs who trends on Twitter every other day and there is no doubt that he is one of the most social-media savvy artists around. But if you thought that was not something newsworthy, here's a small tidbit from a Twitter employee – At any moment, Justin Bieber consumes 3% of Twitter's resources. The popular microblogging service is learned to have dedicated racks of server simply to manage resources consumed by Bieber.
However, Bieber is not alone in his consumption of resources as Dustin Curtis, a designer at Twitter has also revealed that his company has servers dedicated to most big users. Nevertheless, considering that Twitter is among the websites that is most notorious for frequent downtimes, you just got someone you can blame next time the fail whale pops out.

Olympian Bombyala Devi to start archery training school in Manipur
Submitted by Rajiv Dhoot on Mon, 09/17/2012 - 10:17
Imphal, Sept 17 : Archer Bombyala Devi, who represented India at the London Olympics this year, is all set to start an archery training school in Manipur.
Speaking to reporters, Bombayala, who started practicing with bamboo bows at an early age due to a paucity of resources, said, "I am planning to start an archery coaching academy in Manipur to train talented youth. Today, I have sponsors and money to start such an institution."
Following her success at various national and international events, youth from the region are taking up sports as a career.
"After the success of sportspersons from the northeast in different international events, youth from the region are taking up sports as a career, and I think, both the state and the central government should support them," she said.
Her journey to the top is full of struggle.
She was initially trained by her mother and later by the Sports Authority of India.
Acknowledging her success and recent Arjuna award, Bombyala's mother said, "I am so happy that my daughter has been conferred with the Arjuna award. I think she moved to a higher level from state to national, and then to Olympics. She is doing very well."
Bombyala Devi lost to Mexican Roman Aida in pre-quarterfinals of the London Olympics in the singles event, but she has not lost hope.
She is working hard to hone her skills, and the Archery Federation has assured her of helping her train abroad to provide greater exposure for international competitions. (ANI)

WILMINGTON — A Delaware grand jury yesterday accused electrician Steven B. Pennell of killing three women who are believed to be victims of a serial killer.
The 12-member Superior Court grand jury met for an hour, then indicted the 33-year-old Glasgow, Del., man on three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Catherine A. DiMauro, 31, of Newark, Del.; Shirley A. Ellis, 23, also of Newark, and Michele A. Gordon, 22, of New Castle County.
Police also believe that during the last year, the serial killer murdered a fourth woman, and perhaps a fifth woman who has disappeared.

Palestine still waiting for suitors
September 30, 2013
EAST PALESTINE — Untapped oil and gas underground in East Palestine may have potential but nothing is certain until a lease is signed, and for now it's a waiting game....
The problem lied with the law director she dropped the ball. And we are not going to see 5,000$ to 7,000& an acre, Figley is dreaming to big.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Everyone knows that over a year ago, in August 2012, EP had an offer of between $3000 and $4000 an acre. Figley somehow convinced council he had a friend that could get them at least $5000 to $6000 an acre quickly, in a month or less. This was Bob Rea. Monteleone signed a contract with Rea and since then Rea has all but vanished. The mystery is why the idiots on council still keep listening to Figley telling them to wait, still saying how great Rea is over a year later. How dumb are these people to keep believing that line? Figley singlehandedly lost EP hundreds of thousands of dollars. We all should be asking for his resignation over this. I don't know if anyone can get EP a lease at this point, but trying anything is better than what Rea has gotten after over a year - ZERO! Figley and Elzer still say wait for this guy who won't even get in contact with anyone anymore. Makes you wonder: What's in it for them? Who are they in bed with?

Don't just take my word for it. Anyone can access online, at the EP website, the minutes of the special EP council meeting of August 20, 2012. It's fascinating reading. The meeting was very heated. Figley told everyone there he had negotiated with Bob Rea personally and Rea told him he could get EP $5850 an acre and 20% royalties. Figley said, "Mr. Rea told him time was of the essence." Right before council voted to go with Bob Rea, Scott Rauch, who resigned from council right after this meeting, suggested council should put a time limit on this "so it doesn't go on for months." Nobody listened to him. So the one person who was skeptical, who was thinking ahead, is completely ignored and shouted down. When you read through these minutes it's clear Figley sold everyone a bill of goods, that it was his personal agenda with Rea that he was pushing on everyone. And everyone bought it. And here we are today, folks, with nothing at all.

Best thing this "bedroom community" could ever do...is get rid of the city manager, and the council and get some fresh new people....and lose the stupid notion of bedroom community...it's NOT benefiting anyone! No one in their right mind is going to move here...spruced lots or not....we have NOTHING to offer. What we offer is a bunch of country yahoos playing council (and mighty bad at that)
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Wisser, Beagle, Cohen, and probably Tyger seem to want to move away from Bob Rea and look at other lease options. It was Wisser who tried to bring this up for discussion at the last meeting, but everyone pretty much ignored her. Cohen was not on council when decision to sign up with Rea was made, but from his comments he obviously wants to get rid of Rea and look elsewhere. So my question is this: If 4 of the 6 council members want to look at other options, what's the hold-up? Why do two guys - Figley and Elzer - always seem to be able to bully everyone into getting their way?

sounds to me three should go - Donny boy, Franny boy and Bobby boy!! thanks a lot boys!! move on councilmen and vote on this to get someone new to look at the lease...funny how many houses are for sale in this town - people are sick of it and are moving on - my father, grandfather and great grandfather would be sick to see what is happening to this place that they had their roots planted here...

Monty Panesar fined for urinating in public
By Aditi Khanna | PTI - LONDON
Published: 08th August 2013 07:46 AM
Last Updated: 08th August 2013 07:46 AM
Cricketer Monty Panesar has been fined by police for urinating in public following a nightclub brawl in the beach town of Brighton in southern England.
The 31-year-old spinner has since apologised after it emerged that he was drunk and disorderly, and urinated on bouncers at Shooshh Club after being thrown out of the venue on Monday.
"A 31-year-old man received a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly after being seen urinating in public near the Shooshh Club in King's Road Arches, Brighton, around 4.13 am on Monday," a Sussex Police statement said.
According to The Sun newspaper, Panesar, who lives in nearby Hove, was celebrating his team's Ashes success but was asked to leave following complaints that he had been hassling women in the beachfront bar.
He is then believed to have relieved himself from the promenade on bouncers monitoring the venue.
"Monty would like to apologise unreservedly for any offence caused," the cricketer's spokesperson said.
His English county club, Sussex, has launched an investigation.
"Sussex County Cricket Club can confirm that an incident took place involving Monty Panesar in the early hours of Monday August 5," Sussex County Cricket Club said in a statement.
"The matter is under full investigation and the club will make no further comment at this stage."
Panesar was picked for the England squad that retained the Ashes in Manchester on Monday but he did not play.

SYCAMORE The year of planning and raising funds has paid off for Mohawk Community Library; the 1,661-square-foot program and meeting room finally is complete and in use.
The new room is to be used for library programming, including Family Fun Nights, movie nights, craft nights, book discussions and more.
The library has not seen any work since Edition I was completed in 1998. Edition II's construction began in August. The project is to cost about $330,000, said Joe Weininger, vice president for the library's board of trustees.
Article Photos
Mohawk Community Library welcomed a new program and meeting room.
Funding for the facility was secured from Mohawk Community Library Foundation, Ruthe Earl Bequest, Anderson Charitable Foundation, Tiffin Charitable Foundation, First National Bank of Sycamore and other area businesses and individuals. The library's building and repair fund and fundraising committee also acquired funds for the project, Weininger said. About $80,000 was raised through the fundraising committee, he said.
RCM Architects designed the addition to blend in with the existing facility. Clouse Construction, SA Sauber Electrical Contractors, Clinger Mechanical Inc. and Dundore Plumbing, Heating and Cooling LTD were the local contractors that built the facility, Weininger said.
"May the citizens of this area revel in the beauty and utility of this building," Weininger had said. "This edifice is ours. May we use it with pride. Alice Freeman Palmer wrote, 'Every day, stop before something beautiful long enough to say, "Isn't this beautiful." This facility is beautiful. That says it all."

Lupus Diet Tips: Know Which Foods to Eat or Avoid
Eating for Lupus
Eating for Lupus
Despite what you might have read on the Internet, there is no one established diet for lupus. Just as with any medical condition, you should aim to eat a healthy blend of foods—fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and fish.
However, certain foods may be better than others for managing your symptoms. Click through the slideshow to find out what to include in your diet and what to ditch.
Switch from Red Meat to Fatty Fish
Switch from Red Meat to Fatty Fish
Red meat is full of saturated fat, which can contribute to heart disease. On the other hand, fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines, are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids that help protect against heart disease, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. They can also reduce inflammation in the body.
That's good news for people with lupus, who face a much higher risk for heart disease than the general population.
Get More Calcium-Rich Foods
Get More Calcium-Rich Foods
The steroid drugs you may take to control lupus can have the unpleasant side effect of thinning your bones, making you more vulnerable to fractures. To combat this effect, eat foods that are high in calcium and vitamin D—nutrients that strengthen bones.
That includes low-fat milk, cheese, yogurt, and dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. Ask your doctor about taking a supplement if you're not getting enough calcium and vitamin D from food alone.
Limit Saturated and Trans Fats
Limit Saturated and Trans Fats
Everyone's goal should be to eat a diet that's low in saturated and trans fats. However, this is especially true for people with lupus. Steroids can increase your appetite and cause you to gain weight, so it's important to watch what you eat.
Try to focus on foods that will fill you up without filling you out, such as raw vegetables, air-popped popcorn, and fruit.
Avoid Alfalfa
Avoid Alfalfa
Alfalfa is one food that probably shouldn't be on your dinner plate if you have lupus. These sprouts contain an amino acid called L-canavanine, which can send your immune system into overdrive and flare up your lupus symptoms, according to the Lupus Foundation of America.
People who've eaten alfalfa have reacted with muscle pain and fatigue, and their doctors have noted changes on their blood test results.
Skip Nightshade Vegetables
Skip Nightshade Vegetables
Although there isn't any scientific evidence to prove it, some people with lupus find that they're sensitive to the nightshade vegetables. This includes white potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, and eggplant.
Keep a food diary to record what you eat. Eliminate the vegetables that cause your symptoms to flare up every time you eat them.
Watch the Alcohol
Watch the Alcohol
The occasional glass of red wine or beer isn't restricted. However, alcohol can interact with some of the medicines you take to control your condition. Drinking while taking NSAID drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen (Naprosyn), for example, could increase your risk of stomach bleeding or ulcers. Alcohol can also reduce the effectiveness of warfarin (Coumadin) and methotrexate.
Skip the Salt
Skip the Salt
Set aside the saltshaker and start ordering your restaurant meals without the sodium. According to The Johns Hopkins Lupus Center, eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure and increase your risk for heart disease. Lupus already puts you at higher risk for developing heart disease.
Substitute other spices such as lemon, garlic, pepper, and curry powder to enhance food flavor.
Herbs and Supplements
Herbs and Supplements
A number of herbs—ranging from Thunder God vine to turmeric—have been touted on the web for relieving lupus symptoms. However, there is very little evidence that any of them work.
These products can interact with drugs you're taking for lupus and cause side effects. Don't take any herbal remedy or supplement without first talking to your doctor.

The Super Bowl is a Money Bowl
1. The Place: Will Miami Shine Despite the Pouring Rain?
Is it possible the NFL has overlooked an incredible merchandising opportunity in Miami?
NFL "Windsheer II" umbrellas in all 32 team color-and-logo combinations retail for $39.99 on NFLShop.com. Yet in Miami, site of Sunday's Super Bowl XLIV, with the forecast calling for showers throughout the week, there's not a Super Bowl XLIV-logoed umbrella in sight. Was this an oversight, or the sheer arrogance of a billion-dollar league that just assumed the weather gods wouldn't have the audacity to spoil its annual parade again?
Rain or shine, the multimillion-dollar Super Bowl revenue engine powers on. The Super Bowl Host Committee and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau expect 110,000 people to descend on South Florida this week, or about 36,000 more people than are expected to go to the game itself.
While organizers admit the Saints-Colts matchup isn't ideal for tourism in Miami—lamenting the failure of the locally popular New York Jets to get all the way to the big game—travel industry leaders are doing their best to ensure that large contingents from both teams are present and accounted for. South Florida ConVis units have banded together to increase TV and radio advertising in the participants' home markets, trying to remind Colts fans how fun the trip to Miami was three years ago and encouraging New Orleans backers to capitalize on the Saints first Super Bowl appearance.
Hotels are enjoying their usual surge in profits, realized by increased room rates and multiple night minimum stays. At the historic Eden Rock on Miami Beach, rooms are going for $639 per night, while the Doubletree Hotel Biscayne Bay, charging $429, was booked weeks in advance. Thanks largely to the main Super Bowl media center's move to Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County hotels are anticipating a 90% to 95% occupancy rate. Palm Beach County, meanwhile, is hosting 18 special events throughout the week. Closer to the action and in rhythm with Miami's Latin beat, the Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam will host back-to-back free concert nights on South Beach starring Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Nelly Furtado, Pitbull, and others.
However, even though local organizers stubbornly insist they'll hit the $400 million economic-impact mark—thanks mostly to the addition of the Pro Bowl to the weeklong slate of activities this year (the Pro Bowl drew a record 70,697 attendees)—a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers released last week indicates that direct spending will be down around 27% from three years ago, putting that specific economic indicator at $153 million.
One facility hoping not to up its occupancy rates, at least with NFL players—local jails. The San Diego Union-Tribune notes that 15 different NFL players have been arrested in South Florida during the past 10 years for alcohol-related charges or scuffles outside nightclubs. Miami's party atmosphere has prompted many NFL teams to issue blunt guidelines to players on appropriate conduct and areas to avoid—such as the King of Diamonds strip club and Club Space downtown.
The silver lining to the rain clouds hovering above? Eager to host more big events, the Dolphins have proposed adding a roof that would cover fans as part of stadium improvements that could cost $250 million or more in public funds. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the upgrades are needed if South Florida is to remain competitive in bidding for future Super Bowls. This week's rain will only give Goodell and future Super Bowl backers buckets of ammunition.
2. The Players
The Super Bowl may pit two teams against each other, but for sports marketing purposes, Super Bowl XLIV comes down to one matchup: Peyton Manning vs. Drew Brees.
Manning, of course, is a veteran pitchman. According to the most recent Davie Brown Index, which evaluates celebrities across a range of attributes, the Colts quarterback's awareness score is on par with those of "Brett Favre, singer Diana Ross, and actor Colin Farrell," while his "likability" rating is comparable to those of singers Jon Bon Jovi, Elvis Presley, and Nascar Hall of Famer Richard Petty. Manning's "aspiration" rating is among the top 50 in the index and puts him up there with Joe Montana, Denzel Washington, and Dick Clark.
Interestingly, Brees' "appeal" score on the Davie Brown Index is actually higher than Manning's, but the New Orleans quarterback's "awareness" score and all other attributes are much lower.
What does that really mean to sports marketers? Fresh meat.
Brees' story, as AdAge points out, "includes not only on-field success but also a prominent role in the rebirth of New Orleans." His personal charity has helped raise millions toward Katrina relief, and his current marketing deals include household name brands Nike (NKE), Pepsi (PEP), Sprint (SPRT), and Visa (V), along with some smaller regional deals (most recent deals include Pampers, Dove, and ProFlowers). If Brees wins the Super Bowl, he'll be in a great position to sign some even higher-profile, higher-dollar deals.
Meanwhile, Brees' current sponsor PepsiCo has also partnered with Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware on a worthy new charity initiative: Fans can vote at NFL.com/PepsiRefresh or via text for one of the player's causes to receive a $100,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project. Brees desires to provide rooms for cancer patients and their caregivers, Sanchez wants to build diabetes awareness, and Ware hopes to provide a safe house for abused and neglected children.
3. The Plight
Who Dat Says We Can't Write About Dem Saints?
While the NFL sent cease-and-desist orders to several New Orleans-area businesses making merchandise with the Saints' "Who Dat" rallying cry, they haven't begun to pursue those of us daring to write about the issue—and those of us who applaud Louisiana Republican Senator David Vitter, the self-described "Junior Senator of Who Dat Nation," for penning a letter to Roger Goodell that reads "please either drop your present ridiculous position or sue me." (We're clapping for Vitter very quietly, however, lest the NFL revoke our Super Bowl media credentials.)
So far, since there are no reports of Cajuns in chains throughout the Bayou, Saints merchandise continues to sell briskly, with thousands of customers standing in line to get their hands on championship gear. And millions of other Americans are standing in solidarity for woebegone Saints fans, recognizing how the team's ascendance has helped their fans, and New Orleans itself, recover after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina—57% of Americans are leaning toward the Saints this Sunday, according to brand research firm ARSgroup. The Saints have a season-ticket waiting list of 50,000 people, just three and a half years after they had a 44,000 season-ticket surplus following Katrina. And New Orleans will play host to the Super Bowl in 2013, federal stimulus funds aiding Superdome reconstruction.
The Saints' NFC victory united the region as never before, and you get the sense that if they win on Sunday, Mardi Gras will be coming early this year. Says San Francisco 49ers great Ronnie Lott, who was brought in to motivate the team earlier this season: "We all want to be inspired in our lives, and these guys have inspired all of us."
4. A Plethora of Other Telling Numbers
The Super Bowl Host Committee has worked more than 65,000 man-hours, according to data the organization released late last week
More than 20,000 workers were gained credentials to staff the site over the weeks before the game. An estimated 75% of those workers live in Florida
Workers have been hired to put up more than 350,000 square feet of tenting, eight miles of fencing, and 5,000 temporary signs
More than 550 emerging businesses—all women and minority owned—have registered with the host committee to tackle these and other infrastructure jobs, ranging from construction and security to transportation and food
Security alone costs more than $5 million
The Super Bowl Super Kids-Super Sharing sports equipment and book donation project collected more than 25,000 items to be distributed to area schools
An estimated 30 million pounds of snack foods will be consumed on Super Bowl Sunday
And according to match.com, 20% of men say they wouldn't date a woman who doesn't know which teams are playing in the Super Bowl

GRAND RAPIDS -- Church musicians typically work in comparative obscurity, known little beyond their congregations and their peers.
Martin Neary, on one September afternoon, made music that was heard live by an estimated 2 billion people.
Formerly organist and master of choristers at London's Westminster Abbey, Neary directed the music for the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997 that was televised live around the world.
"If you make your way to the Abby, it's one of the top positions to hold, and it's even more impressive to hold it for 10 years," said Scott Bosscher, artistic director of the Grand Rapids Choir of Men and Boys.
English Choral Music -- 7 p.m., Park Congregational Church, 10 E. Park Place NE;
Neary will conduct the adult choirs of Park Congregational Church, First United Methodist Church and Westminster Presbyterian Church with orchestra in music including Joseph Haydn's "Lord Nelson Mass" plus music by Purcell and Handel. Freewill offering for a local charity.
Organ Recital -- 8 p.m., Park Congregational Church;
Neary will perform music by Bach, Mozart and Mendelssohn. Free.
Organ Recital -- 12:15 p.m., Park Congregational Church;
Neary will play 30 minutes of music. Free.
Grand Rapids Choir of Men and Boys -- 7 p.m., Trinity Lutheran Church, 2700 E. Fulton St. English Choral Evensong with music by Purcell, Handel, C.V. Stanford and Herbert Howells. Tickets $15 per person, $13 students and seniors, $30 family pass. Proceeds benefit Choristers' Scholarship Fund. 336-1824 or grcmb.org.
Now retired, Neary will be in Grand Rapids this week for a series of musical events, including organ recitals sponsored by the Grand Rapids Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, and a Choral Evensong with the Grand Rapids Choir of Men and Boys.
"We're just a little excited," Bosscher said.
Neary's first appearance is tonight with a program of choral music featuring singers from three Grand Rapids churches. Neary also will play music by Purcell and Mendelssohn in recitals on Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon at Park Congregational Church.
Tuesday evening's Choral Evensong will be given by the Grand Rapids Choir of Men and Boys, which performs in the English cathedral tradition of all-male choirs. Some 15 boys sing soprano, and 12 men perform the other three vocal parts.
Neary will conduct the choir and play an offertory on organ.
The Choral Evensong service will include music by many English composers, including C.V. Stanford and Herbert Howells, including a piece by Neary.
"Martin's excited that we're doing music by Purcell, because he was Martin's predecessor at Westminster," Bosscher said.
Neary was organist and master of the choristers at Winchester Cathedral from 1972 to 1987 before beginning his appointment at Westminster Abbey. He championed music by contemporary composers, concluding the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, with John Tavener's "Song for Athene," a modern piece influenced by ancient Eastern Orthodox music.
But Neary also promoted music by earlier composers. In 1995, during the 300th anniversary of the death of Henry Purcell, Neary's recording, "Music for Queen Mary," for Sony Records of music by Purcell, featuring the Westminster Abbey Choir and the New London Consort, was nominated for a Grammy Award.
Bosscher, a native of Grand Rapids and graduate of Calvin College, spent three years in Great Britain at Wells Cathedral in Somerset, singing in the cathedral choir and teaching at Wells Cathedral Music School.
Many times, he had the opportunity to attend programs at Westminster Abby during Neary's tenure.
"I watched him work," Bosscher said. "But I never got a chance to sing for him."

GCC 4.5 Is Still Not Ready For Release
GCC 4.4.0 was released nearly a year ago, but it looks like its one-year anniversary may pass without a new major release of the GNU Compiler Collection. GCC 4.5 was not yet branched back in January due to outstanding P1 regressions, which is also blocking any release candidates from being made available. Now in March there are 16 regressions of P1 status still outstanding.
In addition to the 16 regressions of the highest priority for GCC 4.5, there are 98 regressions marked as P2 and 3 of P3 status. In today's GCC 4.5 status update, Richard Guenther pleads with the GCC developers to work on any assigned P1 regressions or un-assign yourself from them, otherwise those regressions will be downgraded to P2 so that this new release can be made.

Pediatricians will find this book disappointing. Although the preface directs it to busy pediatricians, this book is not for them. Much of it is irrelevant to them. In some instances the information—covered at great length—is already well known; in other areas, the material is overemphasized and inappropriately detailed. Nearly 20% of the book (71 pages) is devoted to neuroradiology. Many common and important problems are, in comparison, given too little space and attention: intraventricular hemorrhage (three pages), hypoxia (four pages in scattered areas), hypoglycemia (1½ pages), trauma (five pages), seizures (eight pages), and infections (ten pages).
The book is multiauthored, which caused problems with uniformity of style. Most of the chapters were written by Dr Coleman; the style is difficult. For example, the chapter on neurological assessment provides no detailed description of the traditional neurological examination: the author merely refers us to other sources. In contrast, great attention is given

So much can change over the course of one MLB season. Players with expiring contracts and those coming off uncharacteristically strong or poor performances have the most to gain and lose in 2013.
We can only observe results. Therefore, it's the responsibility of those individuals to make subtle changes in their preparation to ensure that everything goes smoothly under the bright lights.
Avoiding injury is also particularly important for the following guys. If a player needs to rebound from a lost season, he'll want every opportunity to prove that it was a fluke. Likewise, hot commodities could suffer financial losses if they can't validate a breakout year.
The baseball world will certainly be keeping a close eye on these men.

Optimal World Oil Extraction: Calibrating and Simulating the Hotelling Model
C.-Y. Cynthia Lin Lawell
University of California at Davis
August 23, 2005
This paper uses data on world oil price and consumption to calibrate a Hotelling model of optimal resource extraction with unlimited potential reserves when costs exhibit stock effects. Numerical solutions are generated for various specifications of the elasticity of demand for both isoelastic demand and linear demand under each of two possible market structures: perfect competition and monopoly. My simulations enable me to examine the following questions. First, how well does the simple Hotelling model appear to explain historical data? And second, how are future world oil prices and extraction rates predicted to evolve? From among the various specifications I tried, the model best fits actual data when the oil market is perfectly competitive and when demand is inelastic. However, even the best-fit specification fails to adequately explain the data, which suggests that a richer theoretical model may be needed.

Just wanted to give you props for the great recipe! This was fantastic! I tweaked it a bit and made gyro meat to fill them with. I blogged about it and linked to your post here on MDA Here's a pic of the final product:

Check out my blog to see how a family of four eats real, whole foods on $85/week
Update: We tried pizza from this recipe last night. Before our dietary shift, the hubs and I made pizza from scratch about once a week. It was delicious, and though we made a meatza once, we haven't bothered with any other dough substitutions because we didn't think they would be good enough. Well, I made this recipe with the only change being that I added oregano to the mix. It made three adult size personal pizzas and one toddler size We topped them with sauce made from our own roasted and frozen tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and a good quality creepy-chemical-free pepperoni. Success! Pizza night is back! Thank you so much! We simply topped these and slid them on our pizza stone and baked as usual. They were light and crispy. We have really enjoyed this recipe and thank you for sharing it!ImageUploadedByMarks Daily Apple Forum1382805759.865361.jpg
Yay! I'm glad they worked as pizzas for you. Tapioca has become my flour of choice lately. If you're ever feeling adventurous with pizza again, you can try my chicken/tapioca crust. It is my husband's favorite. Thanks so much for your kind words!
Can I substitute coconut flour for rice flour or potato starch? For one tbsp is just not worth buying it, and if I grind coconut in a coffee grinder it won't be as fine as it should be (and it sticks together).
My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
Don't murder me for asking. Has anyone made these successfully without the dairy? Or am I just dreaming?
I wish that we could tolerate it
um.....wow........grokhness monstah would usually rather eat the disease promoting grains once in a while to have naan and pizza crust....but this....THIS might just make it into the next curry dish's menu......it looks fantastic!

(Good morning Thunder fans. Thanks for your support of DT. Enjoy your weekend.)
Well, last night was fun wasn't it? A total destruction of the Lakers, a ROARING Ford Center and big games for Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook was definitely a fun way to start the weekend. But for this week's cartoon, we actually have two. But it's not an embeddable video so you'll have to click the links. So click HERE for part one and click HERE for part two. They are well worth it. NBA TV crews visited OKC and basically give you a great look inside this team.

When I first came out of the NFL draft in 2007, I knew San Diego was where I wanted to be. I grew up in Rancho Cucamonga, so playing for the Chargers is a dream come true.
On home game days, you can't beat San Diego's weather. In November, December and January, temperatures can be around 60, 70, or sometimes 80 degrees, it's amazing. Especially when you see games in other cities around the country, and it's cold or snowing.
I'm also an avid golfer, and San Diego is great for golfing year round - not many cities can say that. Not a day goes by when I'm not on the field, that I wish I could be out on the links. Torrey Pines, Maderas, the Crossing at Carlsbad, La Costa and Aviara, I've played the majority of courses, and they're top notch.
San Diego is a beautiful city, the people are amazing and it's just a great laid back place where there's always something to do. I'm proud to live in San Diego, one of the most popular tourism destinations in the world.
Join me in saluting National Travel & Tourism Week, May 4 - 12, 2013.

June was a phenomenal month for automakers, as the U.S. seasonally adjusted annual rate for light vehicles came in at 15.98 million vehicles, much higher than anything we've seen since the recession. For the first time in almost two decades, all three domestic automakers -- Ford (NYSE: F ) , General Motors (NYSE: GM ) , and Chrysler -- gained market share in the first quarter. With no further ado, here are the top five best-selling light vehicles in June.
1. Ford F-Series -- 68,009 units sold in June, up 23.6% from last year
This should come as no surprise, since the F-Series has been America's best-selling vehicle for 31 years and the best-selling truck for 36 years. Ford has dominated the full-size pickup truck market and has done so in an impressive fashion since rival GM took a government bailout -- giving more consumers a big reason to buy Ford. Consumers and investors love the truck for different reasons. For consumers, it's a tough and tested work truck, with improved gas mileage to be an everyday vehicle as well. For investors, this vehicle brings in a majority of Ford's profits, so the better the sales are, the better investment Ford becomes. Everyone is happy this year.
2. Chevrolet Silverado -- 43,259 units sold in June, up 28.9% from last year
GM's Chevy Silverado has some work to do. While being second place is still a big win, it trails Ford's F-Series by a large amount. Chevy also had to dish out a significant amount of incentives, as its 2014 model is rolling into the lots and competing with the 2013 model -- both with the same price tag. GM just kicked off its marketing and advertising campaign to try to boost sales to catch its longtime Ford rival. We probably won't see the Silverado top the F-Series anytime soon, but the gap could narrow over the summer months.
3. Toyota Camry -- 35,870 units sold in June, up 11.7% from last year
Toyota's (NYSE: TM ) Camry has long held the best-selling car position in the U.S. market. While it's up 11.7% compared with last year, a rising tide in June raised all boats -- it's actually down 2.9% for the year, compared with 2012. This is no surprise, as Nissan's Altima and Ford's Fusion are gaining ground quickly by introducing stylish designs in a normally bland segment. Sensing the competition, Toyota redesigned the Camry last year to give it more personality and a better interior. The midsize sedan segment is highly competitive, but Camry still stands on top because of its history of dependability and fuel efficiency.
4. Chevrolet Cruze -- 32,871 units sold in June, up 73.2% from last year
GM's Chevrolet Cruze made a splash this June, with its sales up significantly. GM's compact car changed things up in its segment when it was introduced in 2011, instantly challenging Honda's Civic or the Toyota Corolla -- an unusual event for domestic automakers. It's refreshing to see domestic automakers able to compete in small and fuel-efficient segments. Chevrolet's Cruze is a great sign for the future of GM, which has a long uphill battle to regain lost consumers from years of poor-quality vehicles and a government bailout.
5. Honda Accord -- 31,677 units sold in June, up 9.5% from last year
Here's another winner in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment. Honda's (NYSE: HMC ) 2013 Accord was redesigned and comes in much smaller and more spacious than its predecessor. Some critics were worried that the new Accord would follow in footsteps of Honda's Civic, which disappointed with a very plain interior. That isn't the case. The Accord has a much more premium feel, with higher-quality materials and a sleek look. It also added a little power to its 2.4-liter engine, while upgrading its V-6 to push out 278 hp.
Investing takeaway
Being in the top five for sales is hugely important for each automaker. It represents large volumes that can quickly gain or lose overall market share for each automaker. In GM and Ford's case, it means even more than market share. It decides the sales leader in the most profitable segment on the planet -- full-size trucks. Right now, the industry as a whole is seeing transaction prices increase, while incentive spending is down. As our economy gradually improves, this is a winning formula for all involved, and the automakers on top will be positioned to bring in a nice yearly profit. Expect Ford and Toyota to both bring in impressive second-quarter earnings reports.
Which two automakers are best positioned to bring huge profits for investors? A recent Motley Fool report, "2 Automakers to Buy for a Surging Chinese Market," names two global giants poised to reap big gains that could drive big rewards for investors.
