Coconut-Peanut Cookies: Galletas Maria (Costa Rica)
Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen
Versions of these cookies — named for a Grand Duchess of Russia after her wedding — are popular all over the world, but especially so throughout[ Spain as well as South and Central America. Packaged versions tend to be more biscuit-like; ours is nutty and textured: easy, kid-friendly, delicious and perfect for the holidays or any other time.]
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup flaked or shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup chopped unsalted roasted, skinless peanuts
Position 2 racks in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (If you only have 1 baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.)
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
Melt the butter in medium saucepan over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the brown sugar with a wooden spoon. (The sugar will get soft and saucy, but there may still be a layer of butter on top; don't worry, the mixture comes together as you add the rest of the ingredients.) Stir in the egg, then the flour mixture, taking care not to overmix. Stir in the coconut, oats and nuts to make a textured cookie dough. Set aside until it gets to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Using a tablespoon-sized ice cream scoop (#60), scoop balls of the dough onto the prepared pans, arranging them about 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are golden brown with toasted edges, about 12 minutes.
Cool cookies in the pans for a couple minutes. Then transfer with a spatula to racks to cool. Serve.
Busy baker's tips: You can store unshaped dough for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Store the cookies in airtight containers for up to a week. Freeze for 1 month for longer storage.

How Celebrities Bring Texture Home
Fashion designer Consuelo Castiglioni, creative director of cult Milan-based label Marni, credits her passion for architecture and interior design with having a profound effect on her unconventional approach to women's and men's clothing. "Being well-versed in both greatly influences your eye as a designer," she says. "You notice details you wouldn't have before." Nevertheless, Castiglioni, known for her adventurous colors and patterns, isn't ready to commit to designing a home collection, even though her Marni 100 Chairs exhibit—she commissioned a group of ex-prisoners in Colombia to weave the seats—sold out at last year's Milan Furniture Fair. "I'm inspired by art, nature, travel, different cultures," says Castiglioni, who will be back at Salone with a new project this spring. "Life itself is inspiring."
Confiserie Sprüngli is my preferred brand, especially the raspberry and lemon carrés.
I love to go on long rides, particularly when I'm on holiday.

Presonus's StudioLive 24.4.2 and 16.4.2 changed the game, offering amazing performance and ease of use for a great price. Now Presonus has packed the same audio quality, performance, seamlessly integr... Click To Read More About This Product
Presonus's StudioLive 24.4.2 and 16.4.2 changed the game, offering amazing performance and ease of use for a great price. Now Presonus has packed the same audio quality, performance, seamlessly integrated software (including remote control) into a smaller, even more affordable package.
Small size. Bigger possibilities.
In a "footprint" of less than 2 square feet (0.19 m2), the compact, 16-channel StudioLive 16.0.2 offers 8 mono input channels and 4 stereo channels and provides 12 XMAX Class A solid-state mic preamps. (Well, okay, it actually has 13 XMAX preamps; the Talkback input has one, too.)
But don't let its size fool you; the 16.0.2 is jam-packed with features and processing power, employs the same workflow and easy-to-use mixing-surface design as the bigger StudioLive boards, and sounds every bit as good, with the same high-definition, wide-dynamic-range, digital converters.
The ease of analog meets the power of digital.
When Presonus designed StudioLive, one of the primary goals was to provide a familiar interface that would keep all critical controls visible and accessible - not buried inside multiple menus.
Sit down at a StudioLive 16.0.2, and you see easily accessed, color-coded function buttons for Mute and Solo; rotary trim controls; and clearly labeled, individual knobs for EQ and dynamics processing. Aux sends have their own physical controls. Every channel has a big, bright meter display. The master section comes complete with Talkback, Monitor, Cue, and a choice of control-room sources - looks just like the master section on an analog board but with far more power and flexibility.
Bottom line: If you've ever used an analog mixer, you'll be right at home with a 16.0.2. And even if you've never used a mixer before, you'll quickly be able to create professional mixes and recordings.
XMAX Class A Preamplifiers
The XMAX preamplifier runs on power rails of 30V. Most off-the-shelf, op-amp-based designs run on power rails of 10V to 18V. Higher-voltage power rails deliver more headroom, deeper lows, smoother highs, and a richer overall sound.
Discrete components - not op-amps. Presonus only use genuine transistors, resistors, and capacitors for ultra-low noise and transparency. Op-amps add noise, coloration, and harshness to a signal.
Class A circuitry. Class A circuits have no crossover distortion and deliver purer, clearer, and more musical results than the Class AB designs that are found in many preamps.
The net result of the XMAX preamp design is high headroom, low noise, wide dynamic range, extended frequency response, and - most important - musicality and transparency, with smooth highs; solid, deep lows; and everything in between.
All of that is before the StudioLive even begins to color and process the original signal. StudioLive's Fat-Channel processing has made a major splash in the pro audio industry, garnering universal acclaim for its ease of use, exacting audio integrity and ultimate musicality. With 4-band EQs, compressors, limiters and gates, DSP effects, 6 aux buses, 4 sub-groups, extensive LED metering, mixer save and recall, channel-strip save/recall/copy/paste, talkback, and more, the StudioLive breaks new boundaries for music performance and production.
JetPLL synchronization technology
Ease of use and powerful features only count if the sound quality is equally impressive. After all, it really comes down to how clean the signal path is and how well the mixing algorithms perform.
That's why you should choose a digital mixer made by PreSonus, a company already famous for its analog mic preamps, pristine digital interfaces, and well-regarded signal processors.
Ultra-high-headroom, 32-bit floating-point processing is used for all digital mixing. All analog inputs and outputs use the highest-quality digital converters available, with +118 dB dynamic range, for spectacular sonic results and unmatched musicality.
Synchronization to your computer is stable and robust, thanks to JetPLL synchronization technology. JetPLL incorporates noise shaping to virtually remove all audio-band jitter, ensuring near-perfect clock performance and optimal converter performance when networking two or more digital-audio devices. JetPLL quickly locks to any digital format through a wide range of frequencies and is extremely robust and tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. As a result, you'll experience better stereo separation and clearer, more transparent audio.

The StudioLive 16.0.2 may be compact, but its Fat Channel is loaded with a high-pass filter on every channel and aux (22 total), phase reverse for each channel strip (12), and a gate, compressor, limiter, and 3-band parametric EQ for every channel, aux output, FX bus, and main output (24 of each!).
Engaged by pressing any Select button, the Fat Channel features extensive equalization and dynamics processing for every input channel, every aux output, the FX outputs, and the main outputs. The high-pass filter and EQ algorithms deliver extremely musical results. Also included in the Fat Channel are limiters, plus compressors and a downward expander, providing extensive dynamics control.
To let you get the most from all of this processing power without descending into menu purgatory, Presonus designed the Fat Channel with clearly labeled, physical knobs; an ingenious, multifunction, 16-ladder LED display; an ingenious, multifunction, 16-ladder LED display; an in-your-face Selected Channel display; and even a separate horizontal pan display. It's easy to instantly access any function and get clear, visible feedback.
Not just effects. Effects you'd expect from a $600 standalone processor. You get two programmable, 32-bit floating point, stereo DSP effects engines, loaded with 50 reverb, delay, and time-based effects presets that you can really use.
The reverbs are so rich and detailed that you feel like you're there. Delays are precise. Slap echo sounds like old-skool tape effects. All 50 effects have easy-to-use parameter adjustment, tap tempo, and store and recall selection for the ultimate in creative flexibility.
The StudioLive 16.0.2 also sports a stereo 31-band graphic equalizer on the main outputs, so you can compensate for room acoustics and speaker response.
Whether StudioLive's dozens of signal processors and 50 DSP effect presets were on gigundo channel strips, in a whopping rack of outboard gear, or neatly condensed into the Fat Channel, they have a lot of settings to remember and reset at every performance. That's where the power of digital comes in: StudioLive never forgets.
What was then is now: complete store and recall.
Two factors work against getting that Perfect Mix with an analog mixer. First, the Perfect Mix can be hard to reproduce a week, day, or hour after you perfect it. And second, a good mix should be dynamic: levels, effects, and EQ should be tailored to each song or segment of the show, service, or presentation. StudioLive solves this problem by letting you save all of your digital settings for quick setup and recall.
The 16.0.2's Fat Channel is well stocked with compressors, limiters, gates, phase reverse, high-pass filters, and 3-band semi-parametric EQ. Two stereo, 32-bit floating-point effects processors deliver delay and reverb effects.
StudioLive solves the problem getting of a Perfect Mix by letting you save all of your digital settings for quick setup and recall.
Save Scenes that include every setting on the mixer. Save just the Fat Channel settings. Copy-and-paste settings across multiple channels and buses. Save individual DSP effects for ultimate ease, speed, and control.
This means that for fixed applications like clubs, churches, and auditoriums, you can always count on the same sound. It means that you can fine-tune Scenes for different songs and call them up instantly. And it lets rank amateur volunteers run the StudioLive and achieve pro-quality sound.
Presonus has included a whole library of individual channel settings (sample listing) as starting points for optimizing the sound of instruments, vocals, and spoken word. And an Automatic AutoStore feature regularly saves your current settings in case the power fails.
And of course you can store an unlimited number of settings and scenes on your laptop with the included Virtual StudioLive software.
Presonus's first compact mixer with MIDI control from a footpedal. Being able to control the 16.0.2 from an iPad or iPhone is cool - unless you hands are busy playing your instrument. What if you want to change from lots of reverb to a little bit of delay? What if you just need more volume through your P.A.? What if you want to change the mix for a solo?
A glance at the StudioLive 16.0.2 rear panel reveals that "Junior" offers something the two bigger boards don't: MIDI In and Out. You can recall Scenes from a DAW using MIDI Program Changes, control the main output volume and effects level, and even mute effects between songs - all thanks to the magic of MIDI control.
Use a MIDI footpedal (or DAW) to control:
Main Output Volume
Effects A and B Output Volume
Effects A and B Setting
Effects A and B Assign to Mains
Effects Mute between Songs
Scene switching
Think of the possibilities for making your performances more exciting and varied - all without needing a separate soundperson.
More than a mixer: an integrated system.
The 16.0.2 integrates a 16x16 FireWire interface and comes with Capture, Studio One Artist recording and production software, and Virtual StudioLive, bidirectional control software, and it works great with the free SL Remote iPad and iPhone control apps.
Because of Presonus's powerful, integrated, free software, StudioLive digital mixers can do far more than their competition. There are three and a half parts to this unique system:
• Virtual StudioLive for laptop control and editor/librarian functions
• StudioLive Remote for iPad and iPhone (free apps used with Virtual StudioLive)
• Capture 1.1 for two-click multi-track recording and playback
• Studio One Artist Digital Audio Workstation for enhancing your recordings (or for direct recording from StudioLive 16.0.2)
Virtual StudioLive: The magic of computer control.
Written exclusively for StudioLive mixers, Virtual StudioLive (VSL) provides a complete visual representation of the mixer, allowing you to control the features with a mouse, trackpad, or trackball on a FireWire-equipped Mac or PC.
Wirelessly control auxiliary mixes with QMix.
With QMix, you can enjoy wireless remote control of any PreSonus StudioLive mixer's aux sends from up to ten Apple iPhones or iPod touches! Let performers create their monitor mixes from individual iPhones. With the Wheel of Me, you can select multiple "Me" channels and control their levels simultaneously.

Presonus studio live = Fun
with its setbacks its a great board, its not the 16.4.2 but it will get the job done with 700 dollars left in your bank for decent drum mics, or a crossover
with its setbacks its a great board, its not the 16.4.2 but it will get the job done with 700 dollars left in your bank for decent drum mics, or a crossover
Being a 16.4.2 owner i can say a few things of what i was expecting... I was expecting a 16.4.2 without busses and without 16 channels... which is close but not exactly what i got. Heres the ticket. YES it is the same when using it live, everything you would expect to see on each channel is still there... heres where you loose out, the recording. See the 16.4.2 allows you to record each channel, each bus, and the master out. The 16.0.2 allows only to record the channels. What that means is, say you record your show, then roll it back and mix it at home. reloading your Reverb efx, comp etc. Then when you want to record that mix as is.... but you cant... You cant record the master outs. So be prepared to buy a second interface to analog XLR to in order to record your mix AS IS.
other wise if you have a bunch of VST plugs you cant wait to use in your DAW, then its perfect. I just like the reverbs on the board. there decent.
great! just like a mini-me version of the 16.4.2. ive owned the 16.4.2 5 years glitch free
went from 3 racks of gear to a tote bag... by back loves me

I had got this thinking that I could see all inputs and outputs within windows recording and playback devices however I was very wrong there.
Also I was getting random clicks and pops with my system, even after trying the Belkin firewire card they recommend using on the PreSonus support website.
After days of trying to get this to work, I could not, nor would it works best for my situation...
I would love to have it work as it sounded really good, but it was not worth the price without working 100%.

Comments about Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 Digital Mixing System:
They really thought about the end user when designing this thing, let me tell you...everything and the kitchen sink is on this board and right where you want it to be.
After a short "getting-to-know-you" you will be flying this thing like it's a spaceship. I can not say enough good things about the FAT channel, a versatile and descent channel strip programmable to every input! Then once you have that channel tuned in just right you can save it right there on the board and call it up with one button later!
Honestly, there are so many great features about this board I could write a book on this review but I'm not gonna, I'm gonna get back to working on it instead. You! Just but it now and get ready for some fun!

Comments about Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 Digital Mixing System:
I purchased this mixer after recording on an Alesis Mutli-mix 8 USB for about 1 year. I knew my skills were good but my equipment was limiting me, so I made the decision to upgrade everything I own (as far as recording goes). Getting rid of that mixer was my #1 priority, so I went out on a limb and bought a Mackie 16-channel mixer. It was incredibly disappointing. So I returned it to purchase this PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2. I got home, set everything up, tuned in the EQ and it blew me away! I used to have to spend hours mixing a track, this has cut my time in half, simply because the sound quality is so good that there is not much else to do. A little compression, a little gate, and a touch of EQ. Move on to the next one.
There is an onboard compressor and gate, but I wouldn't recommend using it, simply because those things are best done in your DAW, unless you don't have a DAW with a good compressor built in, or you're doing live sound, then I would use it with great care. Not that it's bad, but you can't take it back once it's in there.
The build quality is great. I have one knob that is a little bent but that's because a studio monitor fell on the entire board. I'm actually surprised that all that happened was it bent the knob. That tells me this is a reliable product!
I would recommend this to anyone with a home studio! Take some time to practice using the EQ, learn how to hone in the sounds you need for the genre you record, and you could have you an almost-studio quality track. Almost. Which is impressive enough! Buy one of these used and save some cash, cause these things don't break! I love this thing and will be using it for quite some time.

My 5 piece classic rock band used this for the first time last night at our usual club. The results were amazing. The sound quality and lack of feedback were obvious. The pre-amps and features of the board give totally professional results. It does take time to learn as the manual is not so good. Great product though.

I really love this board. I have been waiting for a smaller quality digital board and this fits the mold. I have the larger models of this board, but this is so compact and easy to transport. For the price, it is more than a steal, in addition all the software you receive at no extra cost. Presonus preamps are amazing. I truly love this!!! One of the best investments that I have made in a long time.

I Have The StudioLive 16.0.2 When I Use It To Practise It Sounds Great, But As An Interface It Brings Alot Of Problems Plus No Motorized Faders No Aux Returns And U Cant Daisy Chain Two Like The Other Studio Lives
Comments about Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 Digital Mixing System:
This thing has been great so far. We use this a practice every week and I mix when we play live so we use the pa to our advantage. We use the 16.0.2, 2 450W powered mains and 3 150W powered monitors. This setup is pretty portable and sets up quick.
The 16.0.2 has been proven to be easy to work with and allow me to run effect for our vocal mics and bass through the STEREO mains - ping pong delay don't do much for me in mono.
We mic everything up and record to an older PC using Capture (included) with great success.
We have used it live once and it sounded so much better than most shows at the same venue and recieved compliments on the sound.
I have been using this mixer live once a week for almost a year and am still finding cool thing that it can do!
The preamps work well, the channel strips are great - storing and loading presets is easy! Tweaking is easy!
The AUX/FX sends good once you understand how to set up the signal path for your application - you gotta use the menu! For our band 4 AUX mixes are all we need and they are easy to work with live.
The FX work well for us and we use them alot. mostly reverb and delay - the tap tempo button is GREAT!
The interface/metering/display is great! Easy to use live - the little BNC light socket came in handy untill i learned the mixer better. We use Capture every time we play and I take the tracks home and mix them - no one has beed disappointed by the results - again EASY!
This is my first piece of Presonus gear - I hope is is as good as their other products have proven to be. Had to update firmware and such when I got the mixer but it was fine.
A bit pricy but if it holds up it will prove to be a great value.

It's more difficult than ever to be a true "jukebox hero" in Columbus.
Gleaming, download-powered "juke-bots" flash advertisements for Clear Channel's latest installation of slop pop hits, inundating users with a seemingly endless selection of artists, genres and songs. Many argue the infinite supply of options is homogenizing the bar scene, as opposed to a defining nightlife experience.
It makes sense bar owners would favor download-driven jukeboxes over their traditional counterparts. Parts for traditional jukeboxes are nearly impossible to find, and maintenance costs can grow exponentially. Adversely, juke-bots charging up to $1 per play can become quick cash cows. Even though an establishment can restrict the types of genres that can be played on their download jukebox, the connection created between strangers that only occurs when an obscure B-side bursts through the speakers is gone.
The tangible pros are heavily outweighed by the tangible cons, which can account for the strong love/hate relationship most bar owners (and their staffs) have with their traditional boxes. Still, a few Columbus jukebox purists are holding on to tradition and keeping their music in the bar, rather than in the clouds, despite the additional headache. Here are a few of our favorite jukebox joints that prove keeping it old-school has its perks.
Little Rock Bar
944 N. Fourth St., Italian Village
Ranging from George Jones to British new wave, many of the albums in Little Rock Bar's rotation are from owner Quinn Fallon's personal stash.
"By installing a jukebox that can get any song at any time, every bar is going to be the same bar," Fallon said. "In my years as a bartender I have learned that people can have really bad taste. By limiting their options, it saves us all a lot of heartache."
But it isn't just the personally crafted song selection that sets Fallon's jukebox apart from others; it's the price. The jukebox is totally free. The bill acceptor works, but every dollar that goes in, goes straight to Fallon's favorite charity.
"In a time where you can get any song ever written on your phone, it seemed silly to charge for a jukebox with a finite number of options," Fallon said. "So any money put in the bill acceptor goes directly to CD102.5 For The Kids."
Fallon was a long-time friend of Andy "Andyman" Davis, and has supported the CD102.5 For The Kids charity (of which the "Andyman-a-Thon" is the main event) in various ways throughout the years.
Fallon's dedication to local causes is matched only by his dedication to the local music scene. Fallon isn't only active in the local music scene; most of Columbus' rock scene regulars are on his payroll. And he keeps their albums in heavy rotation.
"Four of my bartenders and I perform in local bands, and I make sure to keep our albums on jukebox. So at any time you could hear The Girls!, The Whiles or The X-Rated Cowboys' Greatest Hits over the sound system," Fallon said.
For Bar Manager Joe Peppercorn, the test of a well-curated jukebox is the reaction it evokes, be it good or bad.
"I have a love/hate relationship with that thing," Peppercorn said. "Some of the music I love, and some of it makes my skin crawl. It's like your best friend who has that one character trait you absolutely can't stand. But that's what a good jukebox does. It makes you feel something."
According to Fallon, the CDs are changed often to keep the selection fresh. Though he has made some exceptions for Madonna and Wanda Jackson, top 40 pop need not apply.
One artist, however, will always hold a couple spots in his jukebox.
"I have three George Jones albums on my jukebox right now," Fallon said. "I refuse to be out George-Jones-ed by anyone."
Club 185
185 E. Livingston Ave., German Village
As a neighborhood bar with legions of regulars, Club 185 is sticking with what works. That includes the jukebox.
"[Owners] Randy and Tina [Corbin] wanted to keep as much originality as possible," General Manager Trisha Rolfes said. "We are a relaxed, neighborhood bar that people have been coming to for years, and the jukebox reflects that."
According to Rolfes, the classic jukebox adds to the ambiance and draws patrons into the bar.
"People have a respect for it," Rolfes said. "Customers are always flipping through the CDs and playing their favorites. It definitely gets a lot of love."
The jukebox has been the source of many bar-wide sing-a-longs — and also driven the staff crazy.
"We simultaneously love and loathe the jukebox," Rolfes said. "A Journey song will come on at night, and everybody in the bar will sing right along with it. But some of the songs we hear constantly, and now we can't stand them. We had to take off Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah.' The staff and I just couldn't take it anymore."
In addition to the jukebox, Club 185 keeps a stocked cigarette machine and analog photo booth that creates classic black and white photo strips.
"You should see some of the left-over photos from the night before," Rolfes said. "You can definitely tell how far into the night they were taken."
Bier Stube
1479 N. High St., Campus
At the Bier Stube, if it isn't 20 years old, you probably won't find it on the jukebox.
Owner Craig Kempton's love for tradition is apparent when scrolling through the pages of carefully curated albums. The Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash and The Doors all have a permanent spot in rotation. To Kempton, this selection tells what the Bier Stube is all about.
"I am big on tradition, and I swear I will keep an old school jukebox until the day I die," Kempton said. "There used to be a time when every bar had a specific sound, and you knew which bar you were going to based on what music you were looking for. I don't like the idea of being able to play any song at any bar.
According to Kempton, the fact that the typical top 40s tunes can't be played is a draw for most of his customers.
"People who live on campus but don't want to listen to the same songs played at bars in The Gateway or wherever, come here," he said.
Though Kempton makes the final call on everything that goes into the Bier Stube's CD collection, he does occasionally bow to the will of his bar-goers.
"There are some things I will never take off because they get so much play, like Jimmy Buffett or Journey," Kempton said. "But whenever I hear Billy Joel's 'Piano Man,' I want to die."
The jukebox is so much a part of the Bier Stube, it has its own anthem. And yes, it's on the jukebox.
"Members of The George Elliot Underground are regulars here, and they've been asking me to put one of their CDs on the jukebox forever," Kempton said. "I told them I would, but only if they named a song after this place. Sure enough, they named a song 'Bier Stube.' How many places can say that?"
The Blue Danube
2439 N High St., Campus
The venue that boasts the best jukebox in the city didn't get there on accident.
The clientele and staff played a key role in curating Columbus' favorite CD collection. Though it's currently out of commission, the North Campus mainstay's CD jukebox still gets more action than the TouchTunes.
"The Dube has a history tied to rock and roll," said Bartender Bryan Penn. "There used to be a music venue across the street, so naturally this place attracted musicians, writers and creative types to work and hang out here. With that kind of clientele, it's almost a requirement to have a great music selection. The Dube and the jukebox selection are a product of Columbus' alternative rock roots."
The Blue Danube's CD jukebox is still on display, but the bill collector is currently covered. Blue Danube owner Bob Swaim agreed to install the download box, under the condition that he could keep the CD box for its aesthetic and nostalgic appeal.
"There is something about flipping through the CD pages, seeing a track you haven't heard in 15 years, and remembering how much you loved it," Swaim said. "That gets lost when you step up to a download jukebox. People, walk up to that old CD jukebox to scroll through the pages before they even look at the download jukebox. And, I just like the look of it."
The diversity of the famous music selection can be largely attributed to the staff, but Swaim keeps a few spots reserved for his favorites.
"I told the staff, 80 of the CDs they could choose as they pleased," he said. "But the other 20 were mine, and they couldn't touch them."
Those 20 stalwarts range from Sinatra to a Riverdance compilation. The staff picks cover everything from punk rock to Daft Punk.
"There was a time when people played Daft Punk's 'Around the World' so often the entire staff started calling it 'Around the Dube,'" Penn said. "I heard that song every 20 minutes for a while."
Despite the down-side of song overload, Penn truly believes in the jukebox system of music selection.
"It's actually a really democratic system if you think about it," Penn said. "Whoever has the dollar is the DJ."

In Hungry: A Mother and Daughter Fight Anorexia, restaurant critic Sheila Himmel and her daughter Lisa write about Lisa's long struggle with anorexia, bulimia, bingeing and compulsive exercising.
While award-winning food critic Sheila Himmel reviewed exotic cuisines from bistro to brasserie, her daughter, Lisa, was at home starving herself. Before Sheila fully grasped what was happening, her fourteen-year-old with a thirst for life and a palate for the flavors of Vietnam and Afghanistan was replaced by a weight-obsessed, antisocial, hundred-pound nineteen-year-old. From anorexia to bulimia and back again — many times — the Himmels feared for Lisa's life.
The dialogue between Sheila and her daughter gives the book a special power. What could Lisa be thinking? Lisa tells us.
"Once, as a peace offering to my parents after we'd gotten in a huge fight, I baked a cake from scratch and spelled out 'I'm sorry' on the frosting with chocolate and butterscotch chips. My parents never saw it. I tried a little corner piece, just as a taste, but then the surge of adrenaline passed through my body and a little turned into more, which became me taking a fork and diving right in."
I've known Sheila for 35 years. We worked together in my first job out of college and then at the Mercury News. I was at her wedding to Ned. I've seen Lisa exercising at the Y.
My daughter, who had many anorexic friends in middle and high school, bought Hungry for me and wrote a note: "Wow!"

Salem State announces 2011 commencement speakers
Salem State today announced the selection of the governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the executive producer of public television's premier public affairs series, FRONTLINE, and the president of the charitable Wal-Mart Foundation as its 2011 commencement speakers.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, currently serving his second term, will address students, faculty and guests at the university's School of Graduate Studies commencement ceremonies on Thursday, May 19, 2011, at 4 pm.A graduate of Harvard College and its law school, Patrick was the first in his family to attend college. His distinguished career has included work as a staff attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, appointment by former President William Clinton to the nation's top civil rights post and key positions at Texaco and Coca-Cola. Patrick was elected to his first term as Massachusetts' governor in 2006.
Salem State's undergraduate commencement exercises for full-time students and those graduating from its School of Continuing and Professional Studies, which will consist of a morning ceremony and an afternoon ceremony, will be held on Saturday, May 21, 2011. Graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education will receive their diplomas at 10 am. Graduates of the College of Health and Human Services and the Bertolon School of Business will receive theirs at the 3 pm exercises.
Salem State University's three commencement ceremonies are ticketed events and are not open to the general public.
Margaret McKenna, president of The Wal-Mart Foundation, will be the featured speaker at the morning exercises. David Fanning, executive producer of the multi award-winning public television series, FRONTLINE, will address those graduating in the afternoon.
Prior to leading Wal-Mart's charitable foundation, McKenna served as president of Lesley University for 22 years and led the transformation of the institution from a small college with 2,000 students to a 12,000-student university with a national presence. Prior to that, she served as vice president of Radcliffe College, deputy counsel in the White House and as a civil rights lawyer in the U.S. Department of Justice.
Fanning, who has served as FRONTLINE's executive producer since its inception in 1983, was recently awarded the 2010 Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism. The longest-running investigative documentary series on American television, FRONTLINE—under Fanning's watch—has won 45 Emmys, 23 duPont-Columbia University Awards, 13 Peabody Awards, and 10 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards. In 2002, the series was honored with an unprecedented third Gold Baton for its post-September 11 coverage.

Skip to comments.Michael Moore calls for photos of slaughtered Newtown to be released
Posted on 03/13/2013 7:49:46 AM PDT by Third Person
Schlockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore isn't pleased with the level of outrage or support for stronger gun control following December's massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
To gin this up further, he wants someone to release the pictures of the slaughtered children:
I believe someone in Newtown, Connecticut a grieving parent, an upset law enforcement officer, a citizen who has seen enough of this carnage in our country somebody, someday soon, is going to leak the crime scene photos of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. And when the American people see what bullets from an assault rifle fired at close range do to a little child's body, that's the day the jig will be up for the NRA. It will be the day the debate on gun control will come to an end. There will be nothing left to argue over. It will just be over. And every sane American will demand action. Moore discussed what such pictures might look like:
The six-year and seven-year-old children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School were each hit up to eleven times by a Bushmaster AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. The muzzle velocity of a rifle like the AR-15 is about three times that of a handgun. And because the kinetic energy of a bullet equals one-half of the bullet's mass multiplied by its velocity squared, the potential destructive power of a bullet fired from a rifle is about nine times more than that of a similar bullet fired from a handgun. Nine times more. I spoke to Dr. Victor Weedn, chairman of the Department of Forensic Sciences at George Washington University, who told me that chest x-rays of a person shot with a rifle will often look like a "snowstorm" because their bones will have been shattered into fragments.

How about photos of 9-11? Moore and those like him are hypocrites.
Maybe he should sign a release to show his autopsy photos from when his heart explodes.
He should do it while he still can.
I would like to know what was on the murderer's computer and whether they have any idea of a motive?
This guy is a f'n ghoul.
I think you will have to stage them first, Mike. If they had any, they would have already shown them off, dontcha think?
Just rewrite the headline: "Michael Moore wants pictures of murdered children for his personal gratification."
So MM wants kiddie snuff porn? This is expected. Leftists are all degenerates.
Exactly. Liberals howl and scream when graphic abortion pictures are shown, but they demand to see murdered children if it can advance their agenda? They really are ghouls.
So when police release pictures of gruesome serial murder victims strangled and cut through the throat, citizens will agree to ban 1/4" rope?
If you search up "chinese executions" in an image search you'll see close up what an AK does to people. No need to use the kids. Maybe we should all send him images from that?
It's a good lesson from a place where only the government, police, and criminals are armed.
They would be a lot less gruesome than a picture of Michael Moore.
Wondering if the law of unintended consequences will appear here.
One of the disturbing things about Newtown is that no security camera footage was ever released, the parents were not even allowed to see their children one last time to say good-bye (or to give positive identification), and all caskets were closed at the funeral.
Quite inconsistent with protocol in similar tragedies.
So go ahead, Mike, sound off. And while you're at it, let's find out what Eric Holder had to say when he was there, and why he had to say it in secret. News blackout on that one too.
Wll, it would set the FR conspiracy-mongers at ease.
Here's a better idea Mikey, one you can carry out right away. Go over to a local photographer near you, strip down, and have him take hundreds of photos of you in the buff. Send the whole portfolio to Mayor Bloomberg with permission to use any or all of them for billboards, bus ads, store posters, soda cups, etc. to help his new "portion control" campaign with New Yorkers.
This way, you will help save lives more effectively than anything Bloomberg has thought of to date.
I can see the Portion Control ad campaign roll out (interesting choice of words) right now. Beneath each glorious photo of your quivering expanse of flesh would be the warning, "You don't need Moore!"
So screw consideration of the families of the victims, MM has an agenda to flog.
"So MM wants kiddie snuff porn?"
Methinks MM should be fitted with an ankle tracking bracelet.
How about releasing the photos and details of Benghazi?
The "jig", as Moore puts it, would be up for the Democrats if the media accurately reported on who's doing the killing in America, how many murders aren't solved, plea deals and flat out not even being charged.
And then they want to take OUR firearms away?
I agree and would like to see a forensic report on what type of bullets were recovered ?? The first responders said they found an AR-15 in the trunk of the guys car and that he used two 9MM pistols but then the media reports the people were shot with an AR-15 assault rifle!! Who do you believe, the first responders or the media?
They should post pictures of Moore's liver.
Moore-on, 3000 aborted every day. Let's see the pictures, FAT ASS!
MA Senate candidate (for Kerry's seat) Ed Markey (D) has his first ad (for primary) running and it immediately shows him as a gun grabber. Starts off with former NRA head Charlton Heston holding up a rifle and doing the "from my cold dead, hands bit". The general idea is vote for Markey and we'll take away the guns from those Neanderthals who worship guns and ammo.
>>The 30-second spot opened with footage of the late Charlton Heston, who once served as the group's spokesman and president.
The ad featured the conclusion of Heston's 2000 NRA convention speech, in which he belted-out the famous quote: "From my cold, dead hands." (The clause is a shortened version of the slogan popularized by the NRA: "I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.")
In the ad, the narrator says the NRA has "been called the most powerful lobby in America, but that didn't stop Ed Markey."
The narrator adds that "long before tragedy swept our nation"highlighting a newspaper article about the Newton elementary school shootingMarkey worked to fight against assault weapons coming from China.
"Now Ed Markey is joining President Obama, fighting for tougher gun laws to make our community safe," the narrator continued.
I'd rather see all of 0bama's university transcripts/records.
There continues to be a lot of misinformation about Newtown. The AR-15 was used by the murderer in the school, per the Medical Examiner's comments. Lanza committed suicide with one of the 2 handguns he was carrying. The "rifle" recovered from the trunk of the car was the Saiga 12 shotgun. The Saiga has a very similar appearance to the AR-15, which spawned a lot of confusion. Check an image, on-line, to confirm.
I do believe that you've caught the proper spirit of the campaign ... now we just await the - cringe - photos. As Colonel Kurtz said at the end of Apocalypse Now, "The horror ... the horror ..."
All I heard about was one or two funerals for the murdered children and one or two adults.
Why weren't more publicized? Were there actually any more than that?
I would love to see someone knock him off!!
Or pics of his favorite middle eastern cult slicing normal peoples' heads off?
release the videos of adam lanza attempting to buy guns. release video of adam lanza arguing w teachers day before. release videos of adam lanza entering school. release adam lanzas driver license picture. why does his death certificate show 12/13 as date of death.
My great hope is Michael Moore will someday have the massive stroke he so richly deserves.
I would be very much more interested in the Death Certificates.....along with Osama's.
Watch the 5 minute YouTube video "Democide: Socialism, Tyranny, Guns and Freedom."
You will see a film showing just a few of the 20,000 Poles murdered by the Soviets in April 1940 at the Katyn Forest.
And they were just a sliver of the 200 MILLION innocents murdered by socialist tyrants in the 20th century.
In every case, the tyrants first disarmed their future victims in the name of "public safety." Every time, beginning with "reasonable and commonsense" gun registration.
1. Registration 2. Confiscation 3. Extermination
Methinks MM should be fitted with a blindfold and a last cigarette (or more fittingly a last Double Whopper with extra cheese and extra mayo). But nobody asks me.
I like your idea better than mine.
I wonder if there were even really two.
Maybe Mayor Bloomberg should post photos of Moore in his tighty whiteys as part of his anti-obesity campaign...
They haven't said anything about computer contents yet, possibly because they were smashed up and so the forensics will take longer. But they did find written documents of some kind indicating that fame and a desire to outdo the body count of the Norwegian mass killer Andrew Breivik were factors.
This makes the media culpable for the continual sensationalism regarding these crimes in furtherance of their political agenda. Not that they are ever going to admit that.
Your statement is untrue. I read an article of one mother who insisted on seeing and saying goodbye to her young sons corpse.
Identification was done via facial photography by the coroners office. The coroner said as much in his first public interview.
One would think every one of the parents would have insisted to see their child one last time. Was this mother ever allowed to actually see with her own eyes her son? If she was allowed to, it seems likely the other parents would demand the same, would it not?
I saw the coroner say in that interview to the press he has 'very good photographers'.
My understanding from prior homicides is that anything other than a visual inspection by a family member or close friend is not legally considered a positive id. The only exceptions are if literally nobody acceptable can be located and make a physical appearance.
Yes, she was allowed to see her child and yes, photo id is legal and common, particularly under gruesome circumstances.
Also, we don't know how many parents insisted on seeing their children because they didn't talk to the press.
I only know about the one, because she agreed to be interviewed.
Many may have had private viewings and opted for closed casket funerals because of the media. It's what I would have done.
Too many Michael Moores out there.
Could you provide the publication/link to the interview you're referring to?
I can't seem to find anything that says one of the mothers insisted on and actually got to see her slain son. But then again I'm not that good with a computer either.
If you could it would make a lot of people feel better that at least one parent got to see her son and say some parting words to him.
It was in the Newtown Patch which is the local paper. I'll see if I can find it after lunch. I gotta go feed the crew.
Ooh found it on the first try, now I really gotta go get lunch or they will eat me.

Test Methods
The assembled system case is tested at a constant ambient temperature of 23°C maintained by an air conditioner. As we assume that most users prefer low-noise system cases, we set the speed of the CPU and system fans (those connected to the mainboard's 3-pin connector) into Silent mode (the quietest mode on ASUS mainboards). We do not change the default configuration of airflows determined by system case design.
The following components are installed into the system case:
- ASUS P5E mainboard
- Core 2 Duo E6850 processor
- Zalman CNPS9500 AT cooler
- Four hard disk drives Western Digital Raptor WD740GD
- HIS IceQ3 Radeon HD 3870 graphics card
- 2GB DDR2-800 SDRAM Patriot PDC24G6400LLK
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
System cases without a preinstalled power supply are tested with an Enermax MODU82+ EMD625AWT (625W).
The CPU temperature is read with ASUS PC Probe included with the mainboard. The temperature of the HDDs is measured with HDD Thermometer. The graphics card's temperature is reported by its control panel. There are the following test modes:
- Idle
- IOMeter (IOMeter's Access Time test running on all the HDDs to load them fully)
- Prime95 (Prime95 running in In-Place Large FFTs mode to load both CPU cores fully)
- 3DMark06 (3DMark06 running at 1280x1024 with maximum graphics quality settings)
Every temperature is read after the system has worked for half an hour in the current test mode. The noise level is evaluated subjectively. The next table shows the brief specs of the tested system cases:

Churches, synagogues press for federal rebuilding aid after Sandy
NEPONSIT, N.Y. (RNS) The waterlogged West End Temple and other nonprofits aren't included in the $51 billion aid package to help rebuild areas devastated by Superstorm Sandy, and civil liberties groups think that's how it should stay. Others say churches and synagogues should be eligible for federal rebuilding funds. By Solange De Santis.

Potential buyer is 'good choice'
By VINCE HORRIGAN
As a 27-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force and 10-year director of a major human service agency across Chautauqua County, I have learned that leadership decisions require an unbiased and deep understanding of the issue. A YouTube video is now making its way across the computer screens of Chautauqua County residents which asks the question: "Avi Rothner: A Good Choice?"
The heavily edited 25-minute video captures selected legislators cross examining the proposed buyer of our County Nursing Home by referencing internet blog reports, and dated Chicago newspaper stories concerning his business interests and nursing homes operated by his father, Mr. Eric Rothner. Of course, the clear intent of the video is to discredit William Avi Rothner and portray him as a bad choice to own and operate the Chautauqua County Home. This video has spurred me to tell you … the rest of the story.
Upon learning of a perspective buyer of the County Home, I set to work to investigate the track record of William Avi Rothner. Of course, just like many others, I "Googled" his name and promptly saw that William's father, Eric Rothner, was involved with Nursing Homes in the Midwest. But I wanted to know about the proposed buyer William Avi Rothner. I began with the officials involved in the sale of the Pima County Home in Tucson, Ariz. – renamed the Foothills Rehabilitation Center. I learned that a well below average, 1 star, (Medicare rated) money losing, county run nursing home was turned around into a privately owned 4 star (above average) Medicare facility.
As I stated in the October Legislature meeting, (which was omitted from the YouTube video) I was fortunate to know a retired professional health care consultant who, at my request, drove out to the facility with his wife to see firsthand the state of the home. He began by talking to a 10-year nursing home employee. The employee said that at first the employees were very nervous about the sale and wondered how the new owners would treat them.
Actually, she said, the transition went very well and there have been few complaints. Overall she said she felt that improvements had been made to the facility. She did not seem to have any personal complaints about the facility or any part of her job. He observed a clean facility, with a client focused atmosphere which serves a primarily Medicaid population.
His overall impression was "that it serves a primarily non-affluent senior citizen population and that it accomplishes that mission well." But I wanted more information.
I chose to contact the ombudsman office for the Tucson area nursing home. They stated that the above average ratings of the facility speak for themselves. She further stated that while some employees have left, many of the original employees have remained and there are no significant problems resulting from the transfer from public to private ownership. My conclusion: William Avi Rothner is a good choice to own and operate nursing homes.
I then investigated the William Avi Rothner nursing homes in Lincoln, Neb. I began with the Medicare ratings and saw that Homestead Nursing Home is an above average 4 star home while the Lancaster Home is a 3 star (average) rated facility. Again I turned to the ombudsman office for Lancaster County. I was fortunate to talk to a person who was a previous social worker. She said there are no significant complaints from families or residents at the Homestead Facility. My conclusion: William Avi Rothner is a good choice to own and operate nursing homes.
Our conversation then turned to the Lancaster Home, which was previously a county run facility. As a prior social worker, the ombudsman stated that "it was like a kick in the gut" to the employees when the county privatized (sold) the home. She said the residents were very worried that those who took care of them would lose their jobs and they would have to learn to trust somebody else.
Then came the rest of the story. "Mr. Horrigan, I never thought I would come to this but after several years under private management, the quality of care has not declined in any manner." She said there are no complaints from families or residents. She stated that if there was a decline in care, she would hear about it through the ombudsman program. My conclusion: William Avi Rothner is a good choice to own and operate nursing homes.
But I was not done yet. How do I reconcile all the negative internet postings with the positive interviews that I am getting from those who have made the change from county run to William Avi Rothner run facilities. I turned to a member of the Lancaster County Board of Supervisors who was at the heart of the Lancaster County Home sale process. She said that during their deliberations they faced an onslaught of negative information which was several inches high, much like the pile seen in the YouTube video. She said that one group was forced to pay $10,000 and make a public apology to Mr. William Avi Rothner in an anti-defamation lawsuit. She stated that after three years, none of the negative predictions came true.
On the contrary, she said William Avi Rothner is a hands-on owner who takes a personal interest in the quality of his nursing homes. She stated he invested over $1 million in the facility and turned it from a 1 star (well below average) into a three star Medicare rated facility. Furthermore, she said that while some employee turnover did occur, the majority of quality employees were retained. She said she would not hesitate to place a family member in the facility. She explained that each member of the Board of Supervisors came to their decision to sell for different reasons. But after three years, it is clear that the decision to privatize was the correct one.
My conclusion: William Avi Rothner is a good choice to run the Chautauqua County Nursing Home.
As legislators, we are elected to represent the people of our districts while keeping in mind the best interests of Chautauqua County. As we review the Altitude Health Services sales contract, our goal should be to adopt the best possible contract for the County Home residents, employees and the citizens of Chautauqua County. Rejecting the sale of our Medicare rated 1 star nursing home which costs the taxpayers of Chautauqua County over $3 million per year is not a good choice. Approving a good contract with Mr. William Avi Rothner is a good choice.
Now you have the rest of the story.
Vince Horrigan is a county legislator from Bemus Point, representing District 17.

My name is Amy Purdy. I am a survivor, a snowboarder, a founder of Adaptive Action Sports, a globetrotter and a daydreamer.
All of the above have helped to get me where I am today, which is on the path to the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games!
In 1999, I lost both of my legs to bacterial meningitis at the age of 19 and I had no idea if I would ever snowboard again. I dreamed about snowboarding on a daily basis and went on a mission to figure out a way to do it again -- what type of feet work, what type of sockets work, how do I even keep these detachable body parts attached to my body in the first place (this reality came with some pretty funny experiences, I'll just leave it at that).
While on my path of figuring out how to snowboard with bionic body parts, I came across many hardships including enduring a kidney transplant the week of my 21st birthday where my dad was the donor. Just three months after my transplant I attended the 2001 USASA (United States of America Snowboard Association) national competition in Mammoth Mountain, Calif., where I met a handful of other adaptive snowboarders who were just as passionate about the sport as I was. For the first time ever I felt like I fit in again.
This crew of pioneer snowboarders have gone on to not just participate in the sport over the years but also help it grow to what it is today.
After winning a bronze medal at the event, I went on to start a non-profit organization with my boyfriend Daniel Gale called Adaptive Action Sports. As our relationship grew, so did the desire to grow the sport of adaptive snowboarding and help others who were in my similar situation get the resources they needed to get involved with the sport.
We made it a mission of ours to help to get snowboarding into the Paralympic Games as well as the Winter X Games so in 2006 we started hosting snowboard camps, competitions and events.
After years of hard work our dream came true and in 2010 we hosted our first X Games adaptive boardercross event, which went off without a hitch! It also gave us platform to show the world what adaptive snowboarders were capable of!
We worked closely with other international organizations who shared the same goal of getting snowboarding into the Paralympic Games.
Then, on May 2, 2012, we got exciting news! I was a week away from leaving the country to participate in the CBS TV show, The Amazing Race with Daniel when I opened my computer and read the headline, "Para-Snowboard included in Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.
In my opinion, that was the moment the real race began, the race to the 2014 Paralympic Games!
Never let defeat, defeat you!

Defending the embassy
On January 30, 1968, a team of Vietcong blew a hole in the wall of the U.S. Embassy compound in Saigon, South Vietnam. Part of the larger Tet Offensive, this battle lasted longer than six hours and ended with all 19 intruders killed or wounded. The attack shook American confidence in the prosecution of the war. This map reflects the defense of the embassy after the attack.
