Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 36 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by shoptodrop The perfect size This has enough room to hold all of my wrapping paper even the longer rolls. The inside compartments are great for holding all my bows without smashing them. It is a little bigger than I expected but with the wheels it works great December 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by wrapbag Space saver and great use of storage I was able to eliminate 4 storage containers and combine them into this one. It fits under my bed and holds all of my holiday wrapping items. I am very happy to have this and to be able to locate all of my holiday wrapping in one place. Great item. Seems really sturdy and pretty easy to move around. January 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Butterball Holds it all! I knew I would love this when I first saw the picture of it in the catalog. It holds all my Christmas wrapping and all the tags and ribbons. Nice to finally have it all in the same place instead of different boxes. January 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by keepitneat expensive but worth it This bag is very roomy. If you or your partner can't buy just a few rolls of paper, ribbon or bows. Or, like to try out all manner of paper cutters on the market, this bag is the place to store it. Each of the smaller boxes allow for a large stash of material. The bag holds much more than the amount of paper rolls advertised as well as the longer rolls. Be certain to use the straps supplied to keep the rolls in place, especially if standing it upright, otherwise the sides bow outward. Because the bag was recently purchased the only comment on durability is; the fabric is a heavy canvas and appears to be durable enough to last many years. An excellent buy. January 8, 2014

In an odd story from Maryland, Ari Ashe of WTOP reports,
Many people find speed cameras frustrating, and some in the region are taking their rage out on the cameras themselves.
But now there's a new solution: cameras to watch the cameras.
Yes, you read that correctly. Prince George's County, Maryland, has a problem with people vandalizing their speed cameras and their solution is to install additional cameras to watch them. In response, Michael Rosenwald says what many others surely are thinking: "This is 100 percent 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' crazy." (more…)

Frank Peterson
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Frank W. Peterson, 88, of Fort Wayne, and former longtime resident of Iron Mountain, went home to the loving arms of God on Saturday, May 25, 2013, at The Hearth at Sycamore Village in Fort Wayne.
He was born Dec. 8, 1924, to Marguerite and Rudolph Peterson in Demmon, Mich. The family soon moved to Iron Mountain where Frank resided most of his life.
He attended Iron Mountain Schools and was given an early graduation his senior year, enabling him to enlist in the Army Air Corps during World War II. While in the Air Corps, Frank earned the rank of staff sergeant and served as an Aerial Engineer Gunner, flying 37 missions on both B-17 and B-24 aircraft. His plane and crew were shot down behind enemy lines over Poland on Dec,18, 1944, parachuting just over the Russian line. He was reported missing in action for more than 30 days and was awarded a Purple Heart for his service. He was honorably discharged on Aug. 25, 1945.
On Oct. 31, 1948, Frank met his love, Mary Stridde at a Halloween party at the Pine Mountain Lodge in Iron Mountain. They were married the following June 24, 1949, and resided in Marquette while Frank earned his bachelor of science degree in business on the G.I. Bill.
Later, they lived in Quinnesec for seven years before moving to Iron Mountain, where they resided on West B Street for many years and were well-known for their incredible garden and hospitable home.
Together, Frank and Mary owned and operated The Women's Fashion Shop in Iron Mountain. Later, Frank worked for the state of Michigan Department of Social Services for many years until his retirement.
As a retirement job, Frank drove the Dickinson County Library Bookmobile and became well known to children throughout the county as he drove through neighborhoods with the special musical horn he installed to let them know he was nearby. The Bookmobile and musical horn were a favorite in many area holiday parades.
Frank was a member of the Golden K and was an avid golfer and bowler; often taking quiet pride in outscoring far younger competitors. Following the death of their beloved son, Parnell, of AIDS, Frank and Mary started a PFLAG support group in Iron Mountain. They also helped to found an AIDS support group for HIV-infected patients and their families and loved ones which was attended by people from across the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin.
Frank was a man of deep faith and an active member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Iron Mountain where he was a Sunday school teacher for many years.
Later he and his wife found a church home at Aldersgate United Methodist in Fort Wayne where they were also active as Stephen Ministers. Frank was a kind, gentle and gregarious man with a great sense of humor and a handshake not to be forgotten. He was much loved by many – family, friends and caregivers alike – and he is greatly missed already.
Surviving are his son, Frank J. (Sally) Peterson of Fort Wayne; daughters, Margaret (William Barry) Wasson of Lake in the Hills, Ill., and Elizabeth (Craig) Dewey of Pueblo West, Colo; grandsons, Ben Peterson of Houston, Kyle Dewey of Pueblo West, and Matt Voell of Milwaukee; granddaughter, Katie Peterson of Pumpkintown, N.C.; sisters, Dorothy Manko of Iron Mountain, Marguerite Reiten of Kingsford, and Carmen Swanson of Kingsford; and many, many loving nieces and nephews.
Frank was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Stridde Peterson; son, Parnell McKenna Peterson; parents, Marguerite and Rudolph Peterson; sister, Charlotte Johnson Mason; sister, Dee LaRoux; and sister, Jean Conte.
A hometown memorial service will be held in Iron Mountain later in the summer.
Memorials may be made to the Alzheimer's Association or to the Wounded Warriors Project.

Roasted Turkey Breast with Peach Rosemary Glaze
- 2 cups apple cider, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/4 cup salt, plus more for turkey
- 3 to 5 sprigs thyme
- 3 sprigs rosemary plus 1 teaspoon chopped
- 1 (3 3/4-pound) boneless turkey breast with skin
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for turkey
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen peeled and sliced peaches, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups apple cider, salt, thyme and rosemary. Add turkey breast and enough water to cover the bird. Cover and let brine in the refrigerator 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a small saucepan, saute onions in oil until softened. Add peaches, honey, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons apple cider. Bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook until peaches break down and glaze thickens, about 12 minutes.
Remove turkey from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Brush with oil and season with pepper. Place turkey in a roasting pan. Cook 15 minutes until skin begins to turn golden. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and brush the top generously with the glaze. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Let the turkey rest at least 10 minutes. Its temperature will continue to rise.

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – Four new assistant coaches have been nominated to the United States Olympic Committee to join Head Coach Basheer Abdullah (Colorado Springs, Colo.) at the 2012 Olympic Games. The four assistant coaches who will complete the Olympic staff are: Anthony Chase (Marietta, Ga.), Christy Halbert (Nashville, Tenn.), Charles Leverette (Fountain, Colo.) and Gloria Peek (Norfolk, Va.).
1996 Olympic Head Coach and 2004 Olympic Technical Advisor Al Mitchell (Marquette, Mich.) will reprise his 2004 role in London with fellow 1996 Olympic Coach Jesse Ravelo serving as a trainer for the Olympic Games training camps.
Chase has been involved in the sport for 20 years, and began coaching in 1995 as an assistant with the All-Navy Boxing Team. He has served as a coach for several local and national events and joined the U.S. team at the European Challenge in 2010. Most recently, he participated in the first-ever U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Women's Boxing as a personal coach for a flyweight participant.
Halbert has been instrumental in the women's program over the last decade, and served as the Head Coach for the U.S. squad at the first-ever Women's World Championships in 2001. She has worked closely with AIBA to aide in the Olympic inclusion process, and has coached at numerous major international events for both the United States and AIBA's developmental program over the past several years. In addition, she received the prestigious Olympic Torch award from the United States Olympic Committee for her contributions to women's boxing and the Olympic movement.
Leverette currently serves as the Head Coach for the Army's World Class Athlete Program and has participated in several key international events over the past two years. A former heavyweight boxer, Leverette served as an assistant coach at the 2012 Women's World Championships, where the U.S. team won five medals and qualified two spots at the Olympic Games. In addition, the Alabama native served on the U.S. coaching staff at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Peek has been coaching amateur boxing for over 30 years and currently works as the Head Coach for the Norfolk Boxing Club. She has been coaching at international events for nearly 20 years in both the men's and women's divisions. The long-time trainer got her first taste of the Olympic preparation during the 2004 Olympic Games training camp, and has coached at several international events since that time, including the 2012 Women's World Championships and 2011 Pan American Games.
Due to AIBA regulations, USA Boxing was required to make changes to the U.S. Olympic Games Coaching staff that will be nominated to the United States Olympic Committee. As Candelario Lopez (San Jose, Calif.) was not previously registered with AIBA, the international federation for Olympic-style boxing, he was not approved to serve as an assistant coach for the Olympic Games by AIBA. Previously named assistant coach Israel Acosta (Milwaukee, Wis.) has chosen not to accept his nomination to the Olympic Games staff. Olympic veteran Basheer Abdullah (Fort Carson, Colo.) will remain in the Head Coach position for the 2012 Olympic Games and Delilah Ponce Rico will serve in the role of Olympic Team Manager.
The Olympic coaching staff is currently working with the athletes at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs to prepare for the upcoming event, and the athletes in attendance are thriving under their tutelage. The squad will depart for England on July 14 for final preparations. All staff nominations are pending approval from the United States Olympic Committee Board of Directors.

Hi, wonder if you have seen the problem below before:
I have a Lyric newly installed in a Santa Cruz OMPW. Direct into a Loudbox 100 it sounds great, with very little EQ needed. But through my Para DI, whether into the Loudbox or a few PAs I've tried, I have the following problems:
If I use the XLR out, the signal is HOT. I need to turn the gain almost all the way down. If I use the 1/4 inch out, the signal is low and I need to turn the gain almost all the way up, as well as the volume, to be heard at all. And in either case, the sound is nowhere near as good as direct into the Loudbox. It is much less warm though the Para DI, requiring big cuts to the mids and treble. It also seems much too "present" in that you hear every little bit of finger squeaking on strings, and the pick attack on the strings is too amplified. Cutting mid, treble and presence on the Para DI helps but it still won't be as nice a sound as into the Loudbox directly.
Is it possible the Lyric and Para DI don't play well together? Or perhaps my Para DI has developed a problem. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!

Great combo with the figs. I have been using figs all fall.What is your normal firing time? I remember you saying the longest was 10 hours, but is that every week?John
Great combo with the figs.
Generally right at 10 hours. Yesterday I had a 4 hour break in firing a couple hours before baking, and it made quite a difference in appearance. The pies still ate very well though.
I'm starting to like 60%. . . .
Dear Craig, your pizzas are always jaw-dropping!
A complete newbie question from me: how much wood does that require for a weekly firing for 10 pizzas or so?
bump Was there some confusion about my question? I'm curious how much wood it takes to fire up an oven like yours from cold. Thanks,Mal
I'm sorry Mal, I didn't see it the first time. You can get it hot enough to bake a sub 90-second pie in 3-4 hours, but you will have very uneven, unbalanced heat - most of which will be coming from the fire. For a reasonably balanced heat and a 60 second pie, it takes a good 10 hours to get it hot enough. More is better. Pies made the next day starting with a 450F oven and heating for another 6 hours are better yet. There is no comparison, IMO, between the appearance of pies from a hot oven, and pies coming for a hot oven that is fully saturated with heat. Craig
Ah no worries. Thanks for the reply. I had no idea it took that long to get an oven "saturated". Definitely given me pause regarding any plans to go the WFO route. Your oven is a commercial neapolitan, am I right? I wonder if a smaller "domestic" oven would reach saturation point sooner.
Hey Craig, did you ever get the 5stagioni flour?
Love the saba pie, but the first pic has a perfectly executed margherita. Congrats to her!John
Craig,I know that your sons are well versed in the Neapolitan pizzas that you make and appreciate them but how to their friends generally react to them? Your pizzaiola does look like she was into it. Peter
We need new words of praise, the usual ones are overused on this thread. Those look amazing.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Skype, a leading voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) service provider, on Thursday made available a special version of its software designed specifically for mobile handsets. Immediately, owners of over 100 Java-enabled handsets from leading manufacturers as well as Android-powered cell-phones can take advantage of Skype and save on long-distance calls.
"Making the Skype experience available for download to Android-powered devices, as well as hundreds of other mobile phones from the world's leading handset manufacturers is a major step forward for Skype. Nearly half the world's population are mobile phone users today and we know that many people who already use Skype want the option to use Skype on their mobile phones. We are committed to working towards our goal of getting Skype into the pockets of the mobile masses," said Scott Durchslag, chief executive officer of Skype.
The lite version of Skype designed for mobile phones from LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson supports the following functions:
The lite version of Skype is available globally, with the ability to make Skype-to-Skype calls and low cost calls to landlines and mobiles abroad currently available in ten countries: the United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Brazil (Rio and Sao Paolo), Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Australia and New Zealand.
Given that millions use Skype network worldwide, usage of Skype-to-Skype calls between people in different countries will inevitably reduce long-distance-calls, which is something to worry about for mobile operators, many of which have fixed-price mobile broadband Internet access.
Users can visit www.skype.com/m using the mobile browser on their phone to download Skype Lite beta for mobile phones onto their device or visit this web-page from a computer.

SEN children became involved - they were encouraged that there wasn't a wrong answer. Even a child who doesn't usually speak in group situations added to the task.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'quatre epices' tag.
The name galette just sounds delicious. Filled with ripe summer fruit cradled so delicately within butter-flaked pastry, you can't but help yourself to a whole galette.
Summer time was our family's routine trip to St. Louis where we visited family and to pick up free-stone peaches. To this day I still reminisce over such fresh summer fruit. The peaches were pre-ordered, and picked at the exact ripeness which made for an extraordinary delight.
Galettes are rustic style tarts, free formed by hand and filled with whatever fresh, ripe fruits are available. In this recipe I have added a favorite spice mix, quatre épices. This French four spice blend works well to season sweet and savory foods alike and is easy to make.
Ginger Peach Galette Recipe
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 ½ Tablespoons granular sugar
12 Tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled
¼ cup ice water
2 eggs
4 large peaches
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 ½ Tablespoon ginger, grated
½ teaspoon qautre épice*
2 Tablespoons butter bits [for dotting the galettes]
2 Tablespoons sanding sugar
Confectioner's sugar [for dusting]
Preparing the dough:
1. In a food processor, combine flour, sea salt and sugar.
2. Add in chilled, butter cubes and process until a coarse meal forms.
3. Beat the water and eggs together. [This step should be done before you start.]
4. While the machine is running pour in egg mixture.
5. Process until a ball of dough forms, approximately 10 seconds.
6. Dump out onto a hard surface and form a ball, wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
Preparing the fruit filling:
1. Whisk corn starch, sugar and quatre épices together, set aside.
2. Slice peaches into eighth inch slices.
3. Fold in sugar mixture and fresh ginger. Allow macerate for 10 minutes.
Assembling the galettes:
1. Roll out a quarter of the dough to an eighth inch.
-Cut a circle using an eight inch plate as a guide.
2. Place fruit in the center of the dough in overlapping layers, leaving a two inch edge around the fruit.
3. Pull the dough over the sides of the fruit.
4. Repeat with reaming dough and fruit.
-note: I find it best to move the dough onto a sheet pan and fill there. Pâte brisée dough is soft.
5. Brush dough with eggs wash and coat with sanding sugar.
6. Dot the exposed fruit with butter bits.
7. Bake galettes at 400ºF for 35-40 minutes.
-The center of the filling should be bubbling and crust golden.
-Cool for 10 minutes and dust with confectioner's sugar.
*Quatre Épices Recipe
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1. Combine all of the spices in a tight sealed jar, use within a month as freshness dissipates rapidly.

A First Time For Everything
Champion triathlete Tyler Stewart will attempt her first 100-mile race Saturday at Western States.
Photo by Martin Sundberg
You might say Tyler Stewart has beginner's luck.
"After college I moved to California. Everyone here does something athletic, so I felt like I was missing out," says Stewart, who now lives in Novato, California. "One of my friends found out I didn't know how to swim and dared me to do a triathlon. I did a Half Ironman and I happened to win, even though I was doggy paddling through the swim."
The win was no fluke. Stewart went on to win the Amateur World Title at the 2005 and 2006 Ironman World Championships, and racked up a slew of accolades as a professional triathlete, including recording the fastest-ever bike split in an Ironman: 4:42:40 at Ironman Texas in 2011. ... Not bad for someone who didn't play a sport in college.
When she toes the line Saturday at the Western States Endurance Run in Squaw Valley, California (her first attempt at the 100-mile distance), she is hoping for the same good fortune that propelled her through that first triathlon.
While she was rising as a professional triathlete, Stewart discovered she had a knack for running. She won the 2009 and 2010 The North Face Endurance Challenge (TNF EC) 50K in San Francisco in 5:06:46 and 5:13:06 respectively. In 2011 she won her first marathon, the Santa Rosa Marathon in 2:45:14. The time qualified her for the 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston last January, where she placed 65th in 2:44:04.
Again, not bad considering she ran the TNF EC 50 Mile in San Francisco (she placed fifth in 8:00:52) only a few weeks before.
"After Kona last year, I got tired of triathlons," says Stewart. "There wasn't much of a challenge left in it for me because I knew I could do it."

Fall 2001
Volume 6 Number 1
Asia's role in the world, to understate it, is extensive. Though set far away on a small campus in central New Jersey, Princeton Seminary has benefited from Asia's influence. Throughout its history Princeton has both served and been enriched by Asia—whether sending missionaries eastward, welcoming visiting professors, or training Asian church leaders.
The following articles focus on East Asia—A History of Exchange, Remembering Connections through War and Peace, Jewels in the Crown of Korea, A Wartime Connection Lasts a Lifetime, Where Edges Meet )though Princeton's contacts have ranged from Israel to India to China to Korea to Japan to Indonesia. They tell stories of what can happen when boundaries are crossed, when the edges of North America and Asia meet.
Follow a timeline that recounts the history of Princeton's relationship with Asia. Hear an American journalist who lives in Thailand recount how his lifelong passion for peacemaking has led him to cross paths with PTS alums around the world. Listen to the story of Bokko Tsuchiyama—a young man who came to Princeton from Japan to escape fighting in World War II and recently returned to express his gratitude. Read Richard F. Young, PTS professor of the history of religions who was for twenty-two years a resident of Asia, reflect on the benefits of being where different religions and cultures meet and on how Princeton has been involved.
The following pages are a chance to celebrate the valuable relationship between Princeton Seminary and the church in Asia.

Drew Barrymore On Decorating Her Home (And Every Hotel She Stays In)
The actress toasts our fashion issue and talks decorating, house rules, and more
At last night's celebration of ELLE DECOR's fashion issue, Drew Barrymore toasted the magazine at John Dempsey's Manhattan home, and spoke to New York Magazine's Vulture about her own home style. Here, our favorite parts.
On decorating her home: "There's so much stuff in my home. I've been refurbishing it for fourteen years. It's a labor of love, this great house that I have. It's just really, really special. I've always been a homemaker, like I like creating spaces."
On having "house rules:" "Oh no. God no. Put your feet up anywhere, drink anywhere, I don't really have coasters ... you can use a book. I want people to be comfortable. I'm certainly not an uptight home owner."
On making herself at home everywhere: "Even if I stay in a hotel, I'll unpack, I'll put my books out, I'll put my camera out, I'll throw a sweater over the lamp to get better light. I am a homemaker. Sometimes a little bit, but mostly just decorative. I don't really get into architecture in the hotel room. But maybe a little Feng Shui here and there. [I] just kind of make it mine immediately."

ZTE Complains That Congress' Blanket Bans Should Also Cover Western Devices Made in China
Jason Mick
October 9, 2012 11:45 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
ZTE claims transparency, yet an FBI investigation revealed it was funneling U.S. parts to iran
In a tersely worded response, ZTE Corp. (
) lashed out at a U.S. House of Representatives'
Intelligence Committee
draft report
[PDF] which
called for a ban
on the Chinese electronics firm's telecommunications equipment and smartphones.
I. ZTE Asks Congress to Target Apple, et al. Too
David Dai Shu, ZTE's director of global public affairs, comments, "It is noteworthy that, after a year-long investigation, the Committee rests its conclusions on a finding that ZTE may not be 'free of state influence.' This finding would apply to any company operating in China. The Committee has not challenged ZTE's fitness to serve the US market based on any pattern of unethical or illegal behavior."
ZTE describes itself as "China's most transparent, independent, globally focused, publicly traded telecom company", arguing it "set an unprecedented standard for cooperation by any Chinese company with a US congressional inquiry."
Mr. Dai Shu adds, "ZTE recognizes and fully respects the Committee's obligation to protect US national security. ZTE believes the Committee focused its examination too narrowly on vendor locations not on equipment security. The Committee omitted the Western vendors and their Chinese manufacturing partners, which provide most of the US equipment now in use. The Committee also overlooked the opportunity to advance universal application of the Trusted Delivery Model which protects critical telecom networks on a vendor-neutral basis."
ZTE points out that the iPhone and other "U.S." devices are also made in China, and, in theory, equally at risk. It says if its products should be banned, so should Apple,
et al.
He argues, "Particularly given the severity of the Committee's recommendations, ZTE recommends that the Committee's investigation be extended to include every company making equipment in China, including the Western vendors. That is the only way to truly protect US equipment and US national security. National security experts agree that a Trusted Delivery Model will strengthen national security. In fact, major US carriers are increasingly requiring Trusted Delivery Model in their contracts."
Indeed, it does seem a bit odd in the grand scheme of things that ZTE and Huawei Technologies Comp. (
) were scrutinized so closely and are facing sales bans, while other companies like Apple, Inc. (
) -- who
contract their device manufacturing to Chinese electronics manufacturers
-- received no scrutiny.
ZTE does make a compelling argument. If the panel is arguing that large Chinese manufacturers can be coerced by the Chinese government to including hidden spying features in their products, why couldn't Foxconn -- Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd.'s (
) massive Chinese manufacturing subsidiary -- put the same kind of spying features inside iPhones or other U.S.-designed smartphones.
II. ZTE's Iran Secrets
However, ZTE may not be quite as transparent as it says. The company is in a difficult spot as it insists on doing business both with the U.S. and Iran. But U.S. trade laws tightly regulate what U.S. made products can be sent to nations viewed as hostile -- and that includes Iran.
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations
is currently
conducting a criminal probe
into whether ZTE sold U.S.-made Cisco Systems, Inc. (
) telecommunications equipment to Iran.
that a July 2011 ZTE parts list clearly lists several Cisco switches as being transferred to Telecommunication Co of Iran (TCI) -- a criminal violation of U.S. trade laws.
The probe is still shaking down, and it may lead to charges for some of ZTE's U.S. employees. In the wake of the Iran incident, Cisco cut ties with ZTE.
ZTE is accused of funneling electronics to Iran. [Image Source: Reuters]
The Iran controversy adds a tricky wrinkle to the ZTE debate. ZTE certainly does seem to have behaved less-than-honestly, according to reports, trying to obfuscate the fact that it was funneling (intentionally or unintentionally) small quantities of U.S. telecommunications components to Iran.
On the one hand, the Iran controversy and the question of Chinese spying are two separate issues. On the other hand, the Iran controversy could be indicative of general opportunism and dishonesty at ZTE, which could lead to the kind of spying Congress is concerned about. As former U.S. President George W. Bush
, "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
ZTE on BusinessWire
"I f***ing cannot play Halo 2 multiplayer. I cannot do it." -- Bungie Technical Lead Chris Butcher

The calendar says November, and while snow may be flying on the peaks to our west, the temperature around here is still balmy and very much September like.
And except for a nasty wind that seems to invade our air space and send tumbleweeds on a stampede across the prairie with increasing regularity, the toasty rays of the sun are enough to make me want to spend a lot more time on the river.
Contrary to most fisheries that you might find around the state, the fishing on the tail water doesn't really get good until the midpoint of the NFL season.
Some may say that it's simply better now because a lot of the other rivers are starting to show ice along their edges and the fish have slowed their feeding way down.
Others may say that the river is best in late fall because the water coming out of the bottom of the dam is consistently warm and the fish feed better.
I agree with both those reasons, but as a fly fisher, I love the fact that I can find consistent hatches on the river at this time of year and there's nothing better than hauling a bunch of fish from the flowing river when others are starting to think about breaking out their ice fishing gear.
The key to tail water success at this time of year, and as we progress further into winter, is size.
I have a special fly box for this time of year and nearly every fly it contains is sized 18 or smaller.
Tied in traditional patterns, with a heavy emphasis on baetis and midge nymphs, this box has everything I need for a good day on the water.
Mayflies and midges are the bread and butter of fall fishing and, as the mercury begins to drop, these two insects and their nymphs are the patterns that I turn to most of the time.
There are other patterns like the egg, Prince nymph, and copper john, that are good in certain situations and will out fish just about anything else in your arsenal on occasion, but the staples are the ones that mimic the most prolific bugs in the water.
My most productive flies from November to May are the bead head pheasant tail, RS2, blood worm, disco midge, CDC emerger, and a fly of my own invention called a glass midge.
Given a choice, though, for my starting lineup, and if no other flies were available to use, I would stick with the pheasant tail and the CDC emerger for just about every single day.
Besides looking like a mayfly nymph, the pheasant tail also looks like just about every other creepy crawler on the riverbed.
And, since mayflies tend to hatch every day on the tail water, the pheasant tail and Barr's emerger combination is one that is hard to beat.
When talking about winter fishing and downsizing flies, the conversation should also include tippet size and leader length. A lot depends on the clarity of the water which, in the late fall and throughout the winter, tends to be ultra clear, but can range from a light tea color to slightly green.
For most situations, though, I stick with a 5X or 6X tippet and a 9 foot leader. I also prefer to go with a lighter line and rod, with a 9 foot 4 weight being my go to stick, but I'm not afraid to break out my big 6 weight any time the wind is forecast to blow more than a dozen miles per hour.
Cold weather fishing on the tail water isn't much different from summer fishing on the upper part of the river.
With its consistent hatches, you can expect to find fish on the front ends of deep runs and behind current breaks from bank to bank during any other time.
With clear water and typically lower flows throughout the winter being par for the course, longer casts are necessary for most situations.
It's not necessary to be able to place the fly on a dime at fifty feet, but the general rule is that the cast should be at least three times the length of the rod and should be placed slightly upstream of the intended target.
A small foam or poly yarn strike indicator will help keep tabs on the fly's location and will help you see those light pick ups that are so typical of winter strikes.
The weather may be getting cooler around here but the fishing is just starting to heat up.
Going with smaller offerings, combined with lighter lines and longer casts, will spell lots of successful days on our neighborhood river and, as long as the wind behaves itself, every day is good day to be on the water.

Thankful ….. Part IPosted Friday, November 16, 2012, at 4:11 PM
On Facebook, there is a 'thing' going on, where each day you say one thing that you are thankful for. There are so many good ones. I have not been participating, though of course I'm very thankful for so much in my life. I have decided to go ahead and join in, but in my own way. Sometimes, I over think things a bit, so I wondered how it should go. Should I start with little things, and rise to the biggest thing I"m thankful for? Or vice a versa? Then I realized, that won't work, because on a daily basis, I feel somewhat differently about certain things, and they have different impacts on me emotionally. Not to mention, that what to me is a small precious joy, might to you be of the hugest happiness, and of course, vice versa. So, I"m going to be random, and no doubt (knowing me) rambling off into tangents.
A couple days ago, just before Sunset, I looked out the window and noticed that the foothills were lit as if the sun had fallen in love with them. It was a dark and cloudy day, but that sun peeked thru the clouds and laid bright saturated color in just that spot. I was thankful to have 'happened' to look out at that moment and catch that gift from God. I always love that time of evening, right before the sun goes all the way down, …. everything just looks more intensely colored …. as if to say "Don't forget how beautiful we are, while you sleep tonight" This was, I believe, a Gift from God, …but shortly later, I heard from a friend, who had just found out that her first grand child is about to be born. She will be flying to Hawaii, (is there now) to touch those soft rosy cheeks. This Gift from God becomes the larger blessing….. This is what I mean by size of blessings….. at a moment in time.
I am Thankful that I get to see my Granddaughter Jillian every day after school. She now walks to my work, and goes home with me. She has one road to cross (with a school crossing guard) and then I meet her at the next road she would cross. But, I"m a Grandma, so my worries send me to walk with her and see her safely into my car. I can not express how Thankful I am, when she spots me from afar, and her face lights up each and every day with happiness at the simpleness of seeing me. That little girl loves me, as I do her. No matter what could ever happen in our lives, THAT will never change. There may come a time when she doesn't run full speed into my arms, (nearly knocking me over) and giving me a happy little girl hug …. she may be too 'grown up' for that at some time. But I'll know that she still loves me ….. and hugs me mentally.
I"m Thankful that when I hugged my oldest Grandsons Goodbye a couple of weeks ago, that they squeezed me tight without reserve. I was especially Thankful that they didn't squirm and squeal too much when I held on for a moment or ten longer than they wanted to. I was even Thankful that then they looked at me a bit confused as to why there were tears streaming down my face….. because they were excited about their adventure, and felt secure in that they are loved by all. Again, I was Thankful when I hugged my daughter, that she hugged me ever so tightly and was emotional herself. She is very excited about the change in her life, but was sensitive to my feelings. I was moved beyond comprehension, when I watched my father and daughter hug goodbye, and she seemed to be the strong of the two. I'm eternally Thankful for the loving and nurturing relationship between my parents and my daughter….. all my children for that matter. That is Love unconditional.
Speaking of that, in all of my Thanks, I'm always going to have family at the core of my happiness. Obviously I wouldn't be here without family, I know a lot of people don't like their family to be too involved, but all my life has revolved around family. Throughout the time I raised my children, my parents were front and center in their lives. My Joys, Worries, Anguishes, Agonies, Happinesses, …everything, were also theirs. I ALWAYS knew that they were there for me, whatever 'there' meant. In heart, spirit, and or physically. I never had to ask …but I always knew if I did, the answer would be positive. I'm Thankful for that, and Thankful that I know without doubt, that my children feel the same.
I"m Thankful for the 3 children I have here on this Earth with me. Up to now, (and I'm sure from now on also) they have been everything I always wished for in children. I couldn't have asked for more. I asked a lot of them, while they were growing up, and they never let me down. I expected much of them, and they rose to that level. I have always felt that if you don't want much for your children, or expect great achievements, required respectful behavior, …well then, you might get just that. I have great hope that each of my children will expect the best from their spouses and their children. And be rewarded as i was. Nothing less is OK. I believe you "Teach People How to Treat You" if you accept something that is NOT up to your expectations, make sure to not "accept" it….and let that person know it is not welcome in your life. It either must change, or be removed. Period. No exceptions.
I'm glad I grew up in the 60's, in what I call the Wonder Years. Many of my years were spent on MHAFB, back when there was a lot more desert than there is now. My brother Jerry, and my closest friends were the Christiansen boys. Rick, Brad, Scott and Gary. We made forts and caught lizards, grasshoppers, and had western adventures all over. We stayed out too late, and got in trouble, and when we were hot, we were thankful to drink right from a hose. Life was GOOD. Later, my folks bought property near the Mountain Home Reservoir. The Christiansens did too, and so now we had sooo much more land to wander in. We all had motorcycles, and I had horse. We did a lot of hiking, and managed to help a few of us break some bones. Then we managed to get one another home safely, when needed. I"m Thankful for those times. Those were learning times…we learned that sometimes, rock rolling might break a leg it runs over…..fun can be dangerous. But we were living! I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. We did lots of camping, our two families. And sooo much fun in those mountains. Our folks bought similar campers, and those memories are some of my most cherished. There were more broken bones, my sister Arlene's being one of the worst. It was a motorcycle crash with my Dad the first couple hours of one trip …. it was a bad break, and we all headed right back to town. She spent days in traction in the hospital with that leg. ugh. The good times outweighed the bad, and we carried on.
We lost Brad this year…. and this town showed great support for him. What everyone was unanimous about, was Brad's love for his family. I don't ever remember an unkind word from him….and he was always like an older brother to me. In essence, I have 3 older brothers, Jerry, Rick, and Brad, along with Scott and Gary. Losing Brad was devastating, but one thing I noticed was his family was the most at Peace with his passing, as I've ever witnessed. I'm thankful that Brad helped prepare them, and let them know that he would always be there with them, just for the wishing. Yes, there were tears, but there was also a Peace that was nearly tangible. I'm thankful that the man that Brad was, left this Legacy.

More information:2010 Earthquake in Haiti
Today, Secretary Clinton marked the six month commemoration of the Haiti earthquake that took place in Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010.
Secretary Clinton said, "It has been six months since a 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated Haiti and claimed the lives of 230,000 people. Hundreds of thousands more were injured and left homeless. In Haiti's hour of greatest need the international community responded. The United States and more than 140 nations provided humanitarian support, mounting one of the largest rescue and relief efforts in history. On this six month commemoration, we pause to remember all those who lost their lives or loved ones in this tragedy.
"Members of the State Department and USAID family were among the dead, and today we honor their service and sacrifice. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends and colleagues. I also salute everyone -- diplomats, development workers and private citizens -- who continue to serve in Haiti, helping the country build back better.
"Over the last six months, the Haitian people have again shown their resilience and strength. Their efforts continue to inspire us all. Together we have worked to help children return to school, to ensure that the 1.5 million people who were left homeless have emergency shelter materials while we stand-up transitional and permanent houses, and to make certain that those in need of medical care receive it.
"The United States is committed to aligning our investments with the needs of the people and Government of Haiti. We have joined international partners, private sector actors, and NGOs in working together through the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission to help empower the Haitian people and support their efforts.
"Six months later, our resolve to stand with the people of Haiti for the long term remains undiminished. We are committed to helping them realize the Haitian vision for a better nation."

Don in New York writes:
A feeble attempt to feeble and deplorable job the U.S. has done in Haiti. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Embarrassed, disgraceful micro-managing, political agendas, turf battles... and so where is your Chief of Staff? Isn't she leading the Haiti recovery efforts??
Sal G. writes:
Thank you for reminding us of this tragedy and the work that still remains. I am making another donation to relief in Haiti.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@Don in New York,
If you really want to know what folks have done and are doing today, check this out;
You can watch the briefing video if you prefer that over reading the transcript;
@Dipnote Bloggers,
When this disaster first was discussed on the blog, i offered two suggestions that would potentially resolve the temp. housing problem.
The first was to convert Conex shipping containers to house people.
The second was to donate Gitmo to the Haitian gov. since we intend to shut that down anyway.
Reason being that in extremis, you need somewhere to move all those folks living in tents out of the path of a hurricane and it's the closest bit of land we could use to do that and let it serve as a lifeboat.
Now combine the two and you have a working plan, and if you have enough folks with shelter they can rely on for a time till rubble is cleared and permanent housing is built in Haiti, they will create an economy out of scratch at the same time wherever they are if provided the means to support its growth. Turn Gitmo into a tourist trap at the same time...(think I'm kidding? Think again.)
Since land use is an is an issue of potential violence if not addressed, this would be the quickest way to resolve it via a 99 year lease at $1.00 per year. That makes it a legal transaction the Haitian government can build opon.
My question to Mr. Shaw and all involved is just what would they expect world public opinion to be if we did so? And no I'm not asking a question I don't know the answer to, because it's positive impact on world opinion of the US would be a "given".
But I'd like to hear what Mr. Shaw thinks about this.
My feeling is this, Don has a real good point although I don't think now is the time to judge our efforts, but if a million and a half folks continue to live in these conditions at the whim of mother nature, and all those folks die because of it, Don's opinion of the administration will be universally accepted to the point folks declare the President's administration to be an "Obamanation".
And there will be a return on not doing enough in the next election. Never mind how our domestic issues may be resolved in the meantime.
I would think if the President wants to guarrantee himself a second term, a creative approach like mine would pretty well do the trick.
If he likes this idea, I'll take my unemployment and buy him a brand new pair of cowboy boots to scuff up on Congress' backside to help him obtain the funding to move those remaining priosoners to a Super Max facility here on the mainland as proposed.
He's got my word on that, in writing.
Now if he really thinks there's a little talent involved in coming up with this, he might just consider this a small example of why he should probably lower the unemployment rate in my state by one, and put my brain to work for him on a full time basis before some idiot in Congress decides it's OK to put me out of house and home by not extending benefits.
30 years in construction, I think I have a fair bit of nation-building experience under my belt to offer.
Whether folks wish to tap into that is totally up to you.
O.C. in the U.S.A. writes:
I'd really like to know where the Clinton-Bush funds have been spent. What projects have been implemented? How are they supporting trade and industry in Haiti? One way to help Haiti's children is to marry an industry to a school, educational system. I hope Mr. Clinton will work on this problem. I'm a child development expert if he needs help.
Pamela G. in West Virginia writes:
This was a humanitarian crisis that put all to the test. Recovery is still far from over. We must keep the plight of the haitans in the international limelight so the US does not shoulder this burden alone.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 2, 2013) – Brigham Young University and UC Irvine have advanced to the NCAA National Collegiate Men's Volleyball Championship with semifinal victories on Thursday at Pauley Pavilion on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles.

Yellow-footed rock-wallaby
The Yellow-footed rock-wallaby (Petrogale xanthopus), formerly known as the ring-tailed wallaby, is a member of the macropod family (the marsupial family that includes the kangaroos, wallabies, tree-kangaroos, and wallaroos).
The yellow-footed rock wallaby is one of the handsomest marsupials and was once killed in large numbers for its pelt. The pelage is grey-brown with a yellow tail banded with dark rust colored stripes, white underside, yellow forearms and yellow feet. A fully grown adult will stand 60 cm (23.6 in) high and weighs 7–13 kg (15.4–28.7 lb).
Distribution and habitat[edit]
This species of rock-wallaby is found in western New South Wales, northwestern Victoria, eastern South Australia and isolated portions of Queensland. It is not typically found near human habitation, instead preferring rough terrain and rock outcroppings. Rock wallabies scale cliffs and climb rocks with superb agility and can leap sizable chasms. Because their habitat is relatively inaccessible to grazing animals, rock wallabies have generally fared better than other small members of the kangaroo family.
At least one subspecies of this nocturnal diprotodont (P. x. xanthopus) appears on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as vulnerable.[3] The subspecies has a population of only about 5,000–10,000 in Queensland, is present in small numbers in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia and known from only the Gap and Cotraundee Ranges in New South Wales.
The other subspecies (P. x. celeris) is listed at near threatened.[4] This species prefers rock crevices and caves in isolated rock outcrops and ridges in semi-arid country. It is threatened by fox predation, competition with domestic and wild introduced species (particularly goats, rabbits, and sheep), and bushfires.
In New South Wales the yellow-footed rock-wallaby was first recorded in 1964 in the Coturaundee Ranges, now part of Mutawintji National Park. The two small mountain ranges in the far west of the state are still the only known places where the species survives in New South Wales.
The habitat of the surviving population is partly on private land, granting inadequate protection for the colonies. Scientists were certain that without immediate action the yellow-footed rock-wallaby would become extinct in New South Wales.
In 1979, the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife purchased 100 square kilometres of this land, which then became Coturaundee Nature Reserve, for the conservation and protection of the yellow-footed rock-wallaby. Further funds were allocated to fox and goat eradication.
Annual surveys of the area, which is now part of Mutawintji National Park, confirm that the population is now recovering, having grown every year since 1995. There are now between 300 and 400 wallabies.
The recovery strategy that saved the yellow-footed rock-wallaby now serves as a model to preserve other rock-wallabies including the brush-tailed rock-wallaby from extinction.
