Re: Medieval cooking
Well Jamie,
the cleft between who ate what in Medieveal times was more than huge.
The rich were overfed with such niceties as Roast Lark , or Hedgehog braised in Honey. I cant imagine you doing that. Getting back to the lower classes though
they simply had their gruel or if they were lucky they lived near rivers or the sea and they fished, or were allowed to fish.
I think if you wish to take a culinary journey into those times you wont find too much from the serfs except bread and perhaps some good cheese recipes. But if you can take the good things from both sides perhaps you might come up with
a dish like ( just my suggestion) Chicken marinated in Honey, Strong Ale and
Almonds and braised in a Salt crust in a slow oven. Served with Plums, Cheese, and Fresh Bread.
yours very hungrily now

Re: Medieval cooking
Hedgehog braised in honey? I've never, in a fair amount of research, come across anything resembling that! Roast lark sounds very Roman, but songbirds are still relatively popular in many areas of southern Europe in particular. I've dug out some stuff that might be of relevance in terms of cooking methods, but one thing that needs to be kept in mind is that the term "medieval" spans a thousand years (by accepted UK reckoning). Will post at length later but in the meanwhile, dinner calls!

Re: Medieval cooking
Hi James,
You might want to have a look at this website: www.coquinaria.nl/english/index.htm
It is owned by a Dutch lady who recreated various historic recepies; from the old Roman times up to the 19th century. All kinds of Medieval Dutch dishes can be found on her website. They've all been translated from 'old' Dutch to the language we use today. Quite interesting. It might help your quest looking for historic cooking methods, recepies and ingredients.
Hope it helps! I'll get back preparing dinner for some hungry Brazilians.

Re: Medieval cooking
Even when I was younger my family were still eating Hedgehog baked in clay in the embers of the fire.................Medieval it might have been, but just because Tesco doesn't stock it doesn't mean it isn't still eaten!
There were the spitted meats etc, but there were also some really weird taste combos even by todays standards! & they ate bits of animal that would turn most people up.

Re: Medieval cooking
Hey Jamie,
I'm portuguese and we appreciate good food with many dishes coming from medieval times and all the later introductions and changes originated from the discoveries, with many flavours from Africa, Asia and Brazil.
I've just finished a reading a book (in portuguese and no translation, yet) called 'The Cook Of King John VI'. It's at the time the portuguese court went to Brazil in 1808, because Napoleon was invading Portugal. They stayed in Rio de Janeiro till 1821, making it the center of the portuguese empire for all those years. King John VI was a great admirer of food, specialy well cooked food. The book is written by a portuguese chef and it's a called historycal romance (so it's based on real facts) and as the plot develops through the court intrigues, food plays a very important role and some recipies from the XVIII-XIX century are displayed throughout the book. I have to say that it's mentioned in the book and it's thought to be truth that John VI was poisened with arsenic in his food...
I'm very interested in History and food is a big part of our history, so though it's not recipies from medievel era, I think it's quite interesting to know these ones, too. I've learned that just before King John VI, his mother Queen Mary I was the first monarch in Portugal to call a foreign Chef to refine our culinary. This was a french Cook who introduced lots herbs and spices, the use of hunting birds and other animals. Before we used to eat more Pork and its varieties. But this french man learned a lot too, he used a portuguese cooking book from 1680 called Kitchen's Art and adapted it to the 1800. Then when 10 000 portuguese monarchs, nobles and servants transferred to Brazil all the food was further mixed with the tropical scents.
Well here goes 1 example: (Trying my best translation)
Cow's Toungue with Madeira Sauce
1 Cow's toungue
3 dl of Madeira Wine
2 medium onions
2 or 3 big carrots
10 grains of black pepper
4 "cravinhos" (Clove)
Salt at taste
branch of smells composed by leaf of laurel, parsley and French-garlic
1 L of Beef Stock (Broth)
Put the toungue in a bowl with salt and water, lead to the fire to boil around 20 minutes. Take the tounge out and peel the skin of. Put it in a clay bowl, with sliim sliced onion, slices of carrots, the grains of pepper, the cravinhos, the branch of smells and season with salt.
Cover with the beef stock (broth) and the Madeira Wine. Take it to the oven for 2 hours. After take the toungue and slice it to smaller pieces. (If the sauce is too liquid, heat it till it's thicker).
Serve it with potato or carrot puree
Have a good one! See you next recipe
Cheers Jos�

Re: Medieval cooking
Hey Jamie...
I'm from the Philippines and in the Province where I live, fire log or charcoal cooking is becoming more and more common these days. My grandparents has been using one over the years, actually.
Only problem with this way of cooking is that the fire tends to be untamed and would probably burn or cook the food much faster than expected. On the upside, food cooked this way gets a different taste from the smoke - this actually gives the food more character, especially to rice.
There is even a delicacy here called "tinapa", or simply, "smoked fish" - a gutted and smoked milk fish. It's orange and very tasty. People would use wet wood carvings to smoke it. And there is also a popular and quite traditional dessert, called Bibingka. It's sort of a flat muffin, baked in a bin-like rectangular tins, with hot charcoals on top.
We are from different ends of the worlds, so I guess your idea of medieval cooking is different from mine. Although, same process would apply as far as log/charcoal cooking goes, the only difference is the resources we use. That said, I hope I am of any help.
Good luck to everything,

Re: Medieval cooking
On a different note...I remembered an episode from "Lizzie Maguire" (.. I admit, I used to watch it, for the lack of good television...but was it a good alternative? hehe) where they would research about things medieval as they were to join a school contest.
I guess what I want to point out, is that they claimed in the show that the people of those times used to salt their meat a lot as a means for them to preserve their food - obviously, refrigerators weren't invented yet.
I don't know what good this post will do, a little trivia I guess. (all thanks to Lizzie Maguire) hehe...

Great apartment with an unbeatable view of the main square and despite activity outside quiet and relaxed inside.
One negative booked apartment transfer did not show up at the airport, but a taxi for about the same price sorted that and in future would use the integrated train link much cheaper, quicker and more convenient to get to the office to pick up the keys.
The description of this apartment did not match at all to reality.
The description says 4 bedrooms, big living room and also 2 balconies.
There was only 3 bedrooms and 1 balconies.
There was also only one tabel and six chairs in the kitchen. And I have asked Martin especially if there was space and Equipment for 12 people in the kitchen..
The coffe maker did not work okey. One toilet leaked quite a lot.
It would have been good if someone from Wimdu had met us at the apartment and shown us the apartment. Instead we had to get key from office and then make a mumbers of call to fix all trouble.
Localitation is perfect, in the downtown and near train and bus station. Spacious flat with a nice view. Needs more kitchenware, there isnt a toaster or microwawe. Is a 3th floor without lift. The street in summer is noisy and if u sleep with the windows open is sometimes molest. The bath needs a bath screen
Incredible views of the main square and nice high-ceiling apartment directly in the heart of the Stare Masto. The furniture and other home furnishings aren't of the highest quality but the apartment is spacious and has lots of room for a group of at least 4 people. Lack of air conditioning can be a problem in the summer months and the music from the square can be distracting but this overall is an excellent choice for Krakow for the location.
The appartment is nice but maybe too small for 8 people. Martin is a nice host, and the location is good. Everything was ok.
A very conveniently placed flat between old square and the castle, practically very close to every historic place. Flat is also well furbished with enough space up to three peoples. Downstairs there is a bakery where you can have a fresh breakfast.
So all fine, the only think is the communication (slow in reply) which need to be improved.
A good size clean and quiet apartment. Slight smell coming from the bathroom and the pictures are from the flat below (we think) not the top floor one where we stayed as the kitchen is slightly different. However this didnt affect our stay. Great views, location and the staff were very helpful finding us a cot at short notice and sorting the cable TV late in the evening.
lovely apartment great view across the Maly Rynek and well placed for a lot of local bars , restaurants , cafes and shops and i nearly forgot the market square , old city apartment company office staff i found to be very helpful and knowledgeable also a big thank you to Daniel who drove us from the airport to the office and apartment and back to the airport , the only downside was the stairs to the apartment but that did not spoil our stay , so a big thank you to everyone at the company
When we arrived, the apartment we had booked was not availebal due to a water leckage. This had happend two days ago, but we were not contacted. We were offered a 2 room apartment with 1 bath insteed of the 3 rooms with 2 baths we had payed for. In discussion about price reduction we were told this was an upgrade, and therefor they would not offer compensation. The last day we were allowed to keep the appartement unntil 19 o clock insteed of 12. This was a totally different apartement, and not bright, big we had booed. Disappointing.
Very happy with the stay! Very convienient location.

Tom Brady, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Patriots flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity Tom, said God.This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here." Tom felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house.
On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a huge 3-story mansion with Blue and White sidewalks and drive ways, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Giants flag waving in the heavenly breezes, a swimming pool in shape of a Giants helmet, a Giants logo in every window, and an Eli Manning jersey on the front door.
Tom looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I won 3 Super Bowls, and I even went to the Hall of Fame."
God said "So what's your point Tom?"
"Well, why does Eli Manning get a better house than me?"
God chuckled, and said "Tom, that's not Elis house it's mine."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

By Nichole Osinski / American Press
Calcasieu Parish schools have been able to receive extra support by connecting with area businesses though the Partners in Education program.
Businesses can assist schools with monetary contributions, but many choose to provide volunteer services, classroom supplies and gift rewards for students.
The Calcasieu Partners in Education program started in 1988 with a collaboration between the school system and The Chamber/Southwest Louisiana.
Mary Beth Huber, the district's Partners in Education coordinator, said the first school to participate in the program was College Oaks Elementary.
Other schools and businesses caught on to the idea, and the program took off. Originally, partners had to go through the chamber but now most schools deal directly with any organization or business that wants to support them. There is no formal application process and schools simply send in the basic information on their partner to Huber to be put on file.
According to information from the Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance, the program "affords opportunities for the community, businesses and schools to instill a sense of belief and pride in man's ability to shape a world that offers hope to students in all schools."
Business and education partnerships are designed to improve education quality throughout the parish.
Huber said there are no restrictions on how many partners a school can have. Schools and businesses may partner up based on several factors. Huber said one of the most common reasons businesses choose a school is location. If a businesses is close to a school, it can make it more efficient for both sides to work together.
"Another common link is when a business owner, or employees of a particular business, will partner with the school in which their own children are attending," Huber said. "Typically several businesses and industries will partner with more than one school."
Businesses, such as City Savings Bank, choose several schools to join up with individual offices.
City Savings Marketing Coordinator Matthew Bowls said geography plays into what schools the bank chooses because locations closer to a branch can provide more people from the company that can actually visit the school.
City Savings recently expanded into Grand Lake, and Bowls said one of the first items on the agenda was to partner with Grand Lake High School.
Schools can also apply for a business to partner up with them. Many times this consists of the principal visiting a particular business to see if there is an interest in the program.
"It varies in the district how it's done," said Oak Park Elementary Principal Melinda Hardy. "For us, every partner that we've had at College Oaks, we sought them out."
An example is one of the school's newest partners, Coyote Blues. Hardy said that when the building for the restaurant went up she stopped by to speak to the manager about the possibility of becoming a partner.
The manager liked the idea and, because it was also close by, said yes to supporting the school.
Personally reaching out to businesses has left positive results for the students and staff of College Oaks, which now has 15 partners.
There is no average number of partners designated throughout the parish.
Schools like St. John Elementary and Gillis Elementary have more than 10 partners. S.P. Arnett Middle School and Vinton High have one partner each. Some schools have no partners.
Superintendent Wayne Savoy said the school system doesn't have an exact number of partners a school must have. He said school population and each school's individual needs are factors in how many partners they may be joined up with.
"We don't necessarily expect every school to have the same amount of partners," he said. "We're not trying to see who has the most partners we're just trying to see that everyone has a partner."
Vinton High Principal Mitch Manuel said about five years ago, during his first year as principal, a business had shown interest in being a partner but backed out of the agreement. The high school's sole partner, PPG Industries, was connected to the school before Manuel became principal.
He said that after the previous business did not follow through he has not applied for other partners. Manuel said the School Board has done everything necessary to support schools and that the school should be responsible for finding partners.
"I really believe it's up to the principal if they want more Partners in Ed," he said. "I don't think it would be up to the School Board to supply that."
As of now, Manuel does not intend to apply for more partners and said he is happy with the services PPG has provided. When the school awards students for academic achievements the business has defrayed the cost. Teachers can also apply for supplies they need in their classrooms.
PPG employees have made visits to classrooms to speak to students about their career. Manual said he would like to implement more of this interaction during a career day by in turn sending students out to the plant to shadow employees to learn about a trade or particular process.
Huber said partners contribute in various ways depending on what their built-in capacity might be. Besides financial support, schools have received supplies ranging from pencils and paper to computers and student incentives such as gift certificates.
"The goal that we have as far as helping schools is not just necessarily writing a check for these schools we want our people to actually be involved," Bowls said. "Anything that we can do to be involved with schools and children is always a plus for us."
Bowls said that if students are learning about money management or anything bank-related, employees will go to the schools to assist in teaching. During teacher appreciation week, the bank will send out volunteers to serve food or help in any area school staff need. They have also sponsored school events.
Sam Hebert Financial Group, which sponsors College Oaks Elementary, has been involved with the school's hearing-impaired program. Hebert's wife Denise has a hearing impairment and has found that the program is a way to connect and mentor these children.
Hebert said that along with offering services through mentoring the company has tried to provide the students with gifts. He has made efforts to collect toys students can take home with them. In the future he said he would like to put on a seminar for students about effectively communicating with one another.
Huber said schools have made the program a two-way street by giving back to their partners through choir or theater performances for staff and customers or decorating business lobbies or offices for holidays.
At the end of the school year, a district luncheon is held to celebrate what the businesses and schools have accomplished together. Hardy said this has also been a beneficial way for principals to understand the most successful practices when joining and working with a business. This year's event will be on May 9.
Savoy said the system between the schools and their partners has worked out well with schools receiving the help they need.
"It means a lot that they get involved
in the kinds of things the schools need," he said. "The partners have
been very supportive
of our schools and I couldn't ask for a better relationship with
the businesses which work with those schools."

Pulaski Technical College today received a $1.2 million grant to serve as one of the state's two Centers of Excellence to provide job training for green jobs in energy efficiency.
Gov. Mike Beebe announced the grants today during a news conference at Pulaski Tech's Little Rock-South site.
Pulaski Tech received $1.2 million, and NorthWest Arkansas Community College received $1.3 million.
Both colleges will each establish a Building Training Center of Excellence to train energy auditors, energy raters, weatherization workers, and workers in the heating and cooling industries. As many as 600 Arkansans are expected to receive training through 60 course offerings.
Expected participants include licensed builders, licensed HVAC technicians, inspectors, instructors, code officials, building inspectors, utility personnel, consultants, weatherization workers, and associate degree candidates for some technical programs such as HVAC and others.
"Arkansas has been pursuing green-energy jobs for years, and these grants will increase our available workforce in these industries," Gov. Beebe said. "These are the types of jobs that are changing in the 21st-century economy, and we will soon have hundreds of Arkansans better prepared to pursue new opportunities in expanding career fields that embrace energy-efficiency innovations."
The grant funds were provided by the U.S. Department of Energy through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The grants will be administered by the Arkansas Energy Office, a division of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
"Pulaski Technical College is proud to be one of the state's Centers of Excellence," said Dr. Dan F. Bakke, PTC college president. "This project combines the mission of the college to promote economic growth by increasing the employability of our students with the lofty goal of doing so in an environmentally sustainable way. These jobs address the long-term challenges of lowering the country's dependence on fossil fuels while helping people with their immediate need to lower their energy bills in trying economic times. This is a classic 'win-win' scenario."

What's a Web Proxy ?
A proxy that focuses on WWW traffic is called a "web proxy". The most common use of a web proxy is to serve as a web cache. Most proxy programs (e.g. Squid) provide a means to deny access to certain URLs in a blacklist, thus providing content filtering. This is usually used in a corporate environment, though with the increasing use of Linux in small businesses and homes, this function is no longer confined to large corporations. Some web proxies reformat web pages for a specific purpose or audience (e.g., cell phones and PDAs). Read more on wiki...

Emily mining project will be topic of LWV meeting
Char Kinzer, Crow Wing Power public relations manager, will present a program about the mining of manganese from a site near Emily at the League of Women Voters of the Brainerd Lakes Area meeting at noon Thursday, Jan. 10, at the Brainerd Public Library.
Crow Wing Power is in the process of obtaining approval for the bore-hole process, which uses existing groundwater. According to the plans, if all the environmental tests return positive, it would take five years to extract the manganese from the site.
The manganese deposit near Emily is the largest in North America and recently had been pursued by foreign interests.
The program is open to the public.

Arcona Hydrating Serum
Length of ownership: 1 month-1 year
Pros: I use this in the winter when I have dry skin. It's lightweight but still helps bring moisture back and soothe dry spots. Sometimes I use the Arcona Wine Hydrating mask too, and they work nicely together.
Cons: Sometime I have to reapply during the day.

Insurers in Turmoil After Ohio Ruling; Molina Plunges
Some insurers whose business is dependent on Medicaid funding fell hard on Monday, after the state of Ohio decided to change the insurers who manage Medicaid benefits for residents.
Ohio chose Aetna (AET), CareSource, Meridian Health Plan, Paramount Advantage and United Health Group (UNH) to administer the state's Medicaid program, a big loss for Molina Healthcare (MOH) and Centene (CNC), which derive significant income from Ohio's program. The two insurers fell 25% and 14% respectively in midday trading.
WellCare Health Plans (WCG) also fell 6.6% after losing access to the Ohio Medicaid market.
Aetna, meanwhile, was a "surprise winner" in the contract selection process, wrote Bernstein Research analyst Ana Gupte. "AET could see 1-2% EPS upside."

2012 CPJ International Press Freedom Awardee
(Courtesy of CNN)
Dhondup Wangchen is a self-taught Tibetan documentary filmmaker who conceived and shot the film "Leaving Fear Behind" to portray life in Tibet in advance of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Shortly after his footage was smuggled overseas, Wangchen disappeared into Chinese detention. His colleagues in Switzerland founded the film company Filming for Tibet to produce the 25-minute film from interviews with Tibetans that Wangchen had taped.
In March 2008, the same month that Wangchen was detained, peaceful Tibetan protests deteriorated into clashes with Han Chinese residents of Lhasa, capital of the Tibetan Autonomous Region, and Tibetan areas of western China. Wangchen became the first of at least 10 Tibetans who were imprisoned as Chinese authorities launched a crackdown on independent coverage of tensions in Tibet.
Knowledge of Wangchen's whereabouts came only after Jigme Gyatso, a monk who had helped shoot the film, was released after being jailed for seven months. A year later, in December 2009, Wangchen was sentenced to six years in prison. In January 2010, he was denied appeal.
Wangchen's family was not told of the charges against him, and they learned secondhand that he had been convicted of inciting separatism. He has contracted hepatitis B in prison.
Wangchen moved his wife, Lhamo Tso, and four children to India before beginning the film, in order to protect them from reprisal by Chinese authorities. Tso, who has traveled internationally to campaign for her husband's release, has ensured that Wangchen's case remains in the public eye.
"Leaving Fear Behind" has screened around the world. Filming for Tibet is now at work on a second film from the same material.

Flier at Occupy Phoenix asks, "When should you shoot a cop?"
posted at 12:05 pm on October 28, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
Hot Air has confirmed with the Arizona Department of Public Safety that fliers have been found at Occupy Phoenix instructing people on when to shoot police officers. First reported by the Jon Justice show on 104.1 FM in Tucson, the flier resulted in a counterterrorism alert issued to all law enforcement agencies in the state:
Copies of an "informational" letter were left on a table for protestors pick up [sic] and read during the "Occupy Phoenix" event at Cesar Chavez Park. The presence of the letter was reported to the ACTIC by a Maricopa County Sheriff's Deputy who had responded to an unrelated call and was alerted to it by another deputy working the event.
The letter is blatantly anti-government and anti-law enforcement in nature. It not only condones but even encourages citizens to kill any "government agent" (i.e. law enforcement officers), who in their perception violates their rights. Examples are given in the document, of "illegal" search and seizure, sobriety and border checkpoints, airport security, etc… In essence this document states that citizens have the right and moral obligation to resist any action by law enforcement that is viewed as a violation of the citizen's rights, and often-times resistance involves killing officers.
"Occupy" events have drawn protestors for various causes including "Chalk the Police" and "Police Brutality Day". With emotions running high in regards to law enforcement and government personnel, there is obvious concern this document could incite actions with protestors to take actions they might not have taken otherwise.
It's a lengthy flier, but these two paragraphs are worth noting, as they capture the general flavor of the missive:
Pick any example of abuse of power, whether it is the fascist "war on drugs," the police thuggery that has become so common, the random stops and searches now routinely carried out in the name of "security" (e.g., at airports, "border checkpoints" that aren't even at the border, "sobriety checkpoints," and so on), or anything else. Now ask yourself the uncomfortable question: If it is wrong for cops to do these things, doesn't that imply that the people have a right to RESIST such actions? Of course, state mercenaries don't take kindly to being resisted, even non-violently. If you question their right to detain you, interrogate you, search you, invade your home, and so on, you are very likely to be tasered, physically assaulted, kidnapped, put in a cage, or shot. If a cop decides to treat you like livestock, whether he does it "legally" or not, you will usually have only two options: submit, or kill the cop. You can't resist a cop "just a little" and get away with it. He will always call in more of his fellow gang members, until you are subdued or dead.
Basic logic dictates that you either have an obligation to LET "law enforcers" have their way with you, or you have the right to STOP them from doing so, which will almost always require killing them. (Politely asking fascists not to be fascists has a very poor track record.)
The flier goes on at length for two pages with much of the same vitriol. Let's try approaching the actual arguments presented in this screed, such as they are. I'll grant that police occasionally abuse their power, and that some functions like airport security have become overbroad and unnecessarily intrusive (in service to political correctness, actually). In some cases, those abuses get taken to disturbing levels, as I have learned through personal experience and through the experiences of those close to me. However, the vast majority of my contacts with law enforcement have been professional and even friendly.
When a law-enforcement officer crosses the line, people in a free society have more options than surrender or murder, however. We can work to change the laws so that the abuses get curtailed, when the abuses come from the law itself (airport security and sobriety checkpoints among them). We can pursue legal action when the abuses come from the police officers individually. Put simply, contra this person's hysteric and historically ignorant perspective, we don't live in a fascist state or anything close to it. This is a person straining mightily to give intellectual and philosophical cover for murderous intentions, which run seriously and deep.
I'm curious to see how the media in Arizona and the rest of the nation approach this development. They went into convulsions retroactive to the Gabrielle Giffords shooting that killed six other people because Sarah Palin used crosshairs on a map once (as had Democrats on a number of occasions), which the media used to paint the Tea Party and conservatives as somehow responsible for the massacre conducted by a madman with no discernibly rational political posture. Will they hold the Occupy movement to the same ridiculous standard? I'm betting …. no.
Update: Verum Serum has more on the self-described anarchist whose writings were used for the flier, and his appearance at a Tea Party event in 2009. It's not clear whether Rose distributed the fliers or someone just lifted it for the Occupy Phoenix event.

Philomena is Princess Celestia's pet phoenix, residing in Canterlot and introduced as a central character in A Bird in the Hoof.
The name "Philomena" is of Greek origin, meaning "powerful love". The name's English spelling is Philomena, though on the show's storyboard by Sabrina Alberghetti it shows up as "Philemena".[2] One of Hasbro's online coloring pages, a question on Hasbro's My Little Pony Facebook page, and a tweet by Hasbro's My Little Pony Twitter account spell the name "Philomeena".[3][4][5] The 2012 My Little Pony trading cards use "Philomena" and list it as a trademark.[6]
According to A Bird in the Hoof writer Charlotte Fullerton, Philomena was originally named Phoebe.[7]
Depiction in the series
- "She is quite a sight, isn't she?"
- — Princess Celestia referring to Philomena
Philomena appears in A Bird in the Hoof, introduced at the party held at Sugarcube Corner in honor of Princess Celestia's visit. The bird initially appears to be very sickly, coughing and molting uncontrollably. Fluttershy, worried at the sickly state of the bird, takes Philomena away to her home without telling anyone so that she can heal her properly. Throughout the episode, Fluttershy tries desperately to heal Philomena, but she had never seen a bird like her before and all her attempted treatments seem to make her condition worse. Philomena eventually escapes, leading Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle into a chase around Ponyville to catch her. They eventually find her, but when she loses her last feather, Philomena bursts into flames. As Fluttershy cries at the sight of the ashes, Princess Celestia arrives. The princess bends her head down over the pile of ash and tells her incinerated pet to stop fooling around and scaring everypony. Suddenly, Philomena rises again, renewed and in better shape.
- "I'm afraid mischievous little Philomena here took the occasion to have a little fun with you, Fluttershy. Say you're sorry, young lady."
- — Princess Celestia scolding Philomena
Princess Celestia explains to Fluttershy that Philomena, like all phoenixes, plucks all her feathers and burns into ashes at the end of her life cycle, only to rise from the ashes and renew herself. Princess Celestia describes her pet bird as being mischievous, prompting her to apologize for all the troubles she had caused. Philomena herself is even shown blushing and behaving rather regretfully towards Fluttershy. As the newly revived phoenix begins flying around for a bit, she intentionally drops one of her feathers into Fluttershy's mane, much to the pony's delight. Soon after, Rainbow Dash gets Philomena to tickle the royal guards on the nose as a prank; when they successfully make the guards laugh, they share a high five.
During Magical Mystery Cure, Philomena's ashes appear in one of Fluttershy's flashbacks.

Philomena appears in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #1 on page 3/Dynamic Forces cover RE, in her pre-renewal state. She also appears in My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #8, in My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #10, in My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #3 on cover A, in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #17, in Issue #20, in Issue #27, in Issue #28, and in Issue #50, in her post-renewal state.
An alternate universe version of Philomena appears in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #19. In My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #38, she appears at continuous odds with Luna's pet possum Tiberius.

On the outside, PHILOMENA seemed like a poor, suffering, and squawking old bird, but Princess Celestia's pet had a secret. After losing her feathers and bursting into flames, she transformed herself into a beautiful phoenix.

C.O. snow followed by some sun - and frigid temps
Veterans Day cold but dry
BEND, Ore. - A weekend that began with snow across the High Desert turned dry for Veterans Day parades and other events Sunday -- but it turned very cold and windy as well.
Lower-elevation areas of Central Oregon that saw little or no snow Thursday night, while La Pine got a foot-plus in places, got their share of measurable snowfall Friday night and Saturday morning, It was another busy night for police as cars and trucks slipped, slid and in some cases flipped.
Saturday night, skies cleared -- and as a already, temperatures plummeted, already to the teens in many spots by midnight.
Bend dropped to 16 degrees overnight, Redmond to 15 and Madras to 23, according to the National Weather Service. It rose to barely above freezing in most locations as Veterans Day parades kicked off on Sunday morning.
But dry roads made for safer travel than earlier in the weekend.
Still, it's not just snow causing driving troubles, but black ice.
Crook County sheriff's deputies said two Prineville residents escaped injury Saturday evening when their Nissan Pathfinder hit a patch of black ice on the O'Neil Highway west of Prineville and the driver lost control, sending her vehicle off an embankment and into an irrigation ditch.
Friday night, on Highway 97, south of Bend, a scanner report indicated everyone was able to get out of a Jeep that rolled three times around 9 p.m., coming to rest on its wheels.
Snow was sticking, and how, in Bend, Redmond and Madras.
A Camp Sherman-area weather spotter recorded 2 1/2 inches of new snow overnight and a total of 5 1/2 inches on the ground Saturday morning.
The Sisters area reported about four inches of snow in 24 hours ending Saturday morning, while Madras got about two inches, Prineville about an inch and Sunriver another half-inch or snow. Bend had a half-inch to an inch or more snow reported.
There were two inches or more in some areas of Bend Saturday morning, before the sun began to melt it off. But many roads were still slick, and several crashes were reported around the area, some resulting in injuries.
Friday night, the unbeaten Redmond Panthers football squad didn't let heavy snowfall and near-whiteout conditions at times beat them, as they knocked off visiting Churchill 40-15 to raise their record to 10-0 and continue on in the playoffs.
Winter weather had staged a powerful return to some areas of the High Desert Thursday evening, bringing over a foot of snow in the Sunriver-La Pine area, where classes were delayed two hours Friday morning, and a return of slick, tricky driving conditions.
Friday morning, the National Weather Service in Pendleton extended its winter weather advisory for the area another 24 hours, to 9 a.m. Saturday. They said snow showers would increase in coverage and intensity Friday night.
Thursday evening, a La Pine resident reported 4-6 inches of snow and it was still coming down hard. There also was a half-foot as the tape measure showed in Oregon Water Wonderland, between Sunriver and La Pine; another OWW resident shoveled 7 inches off her back deck and it was still snowing hard before 7 p.m.
By Friday morning, much of the area had close to a foot of snow -- a resident of Thousand Trails, south of Sunriver, reported a whopping 18 inches -- and yet, to the north, roads were slick in Bend but only lawns and roofs (and cars) were really coated at lower elevations.
Slide-offs were reported on numerous roads around the region.
ODOT, meanwhile, decided Friday to close the Old McKenzie Pass Highway (Oregon 242) for the season, effective immediately, "due to higher than anticipated snowfall." (A day earlier, they had planned to close the road next week.)
"We have over a foot (of snow) and still coming down hard off State Rec Road, between Sunriver and La Pine," Amie Hamilton said around 9 p.m.
Deschutes County sheriff's deputies requested, and ODOT called out plows to try to keep ahead of the snowfall that was causing slide-offs from Sunriver to south of La Pine.
Forecasters warned motorists to be very careful and slow down -- and indeed, slide-offs and other traffic issues were starting to happen before the heaviest snowfall after nightfall.
Deschutes County sheriff's deputies called for ODOT plows, saying 6-8 inches were building up before 7 p.m. Friday.
The La Pine Rural Fire District issued a winter driving alert with some common safety tips for this time of year::
With the seasons first significant snowfall upon us road condition will be hazardous at times. Please review these 10 simple steps to make you winter driving safer. Starting from the easiest and least costly. Note the first six cost little or nothing and you can start doing them immediately and improve your winter travel greatly!
#1 Slow Down - Simple enough, but really - leave earlier and give your self time to deal with the additional hazards of slick roads and others who have not heeded this advice.
#2 Clear off ALL windows of snow and ice – Yes it's a pain, but it's not going to blow or melt off quickly. Keeping a broom near your parking spot makes the job much more palatable.
#3 Headlights on at all times – This helps others see you, so they don't pull out in front of you.
#4 Adjust your travel time if you can – Fortunately here in Central Oregon the sun can quickly help our DOT folks improve road conditions by mid day. Check ODOTs road condition website and cameras for the latest.
#5 Add weight (a few sand bags) - This is more for balance rather than for traction. Most vehicles are lighter in the rear, even 4x4s'. Balancing weight greatly improves handling and predictability in slick environments. Think what NASCAR racers do to their vehicles.
#6 Have winter survival gear in your car. (flashlight, snow boots, gloves, hat). Be prepared to walk a mile if you need to.
#7 Sipe your tires – Those extra little edges cut into the tread – really help especially on pack snow and ice – conditions when vehicles most often loose control.
#8 Tire chains – For traction when going over the passes and in extreme conditions. They also force you to slow down – go figure.
#9 Snow tires on all four wheels – Help in deeper snow and slush. Put on all four wheels - again more for balance, steering, and braking.
#10 Studded tires – Adding studs to snow tires can help on hard packed snow and ice, especially if it is glazed and wet.

NCDOT to help establish Beirut Memorial Grove
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - The N.C. Department of Transportation is joining with the City of Jacksonville and the Beirut Memorial Advisory Board to establish a Beirut Memorial Grove to honor the victims of the 1983 bombing that killed 273 service members.
A statement from the department said the new grove will include 273 autumn flowering cherry trees to commemorate each life lost. The cherry trees will carry on the legacy of the Beirut Memorial Bradford Pear Trees planted along Lejeune Boulevard in the 1980s.
The site selected for the memorial grove is a triangular, 12-acre elevated plot within the U.S. 17/N.C. 24/U.S. 258 interchange near Camp Geiger that serves as an entrance onto the Jacksonville Bypass.
In addition to the trees, the grove will also have double knockout roses and daylilies around the perimeter.

White House Lays out Plan for Immigration Reform
Today President Obama lays out his plan to overhaul the nation's laws - beef up the border, and keep 11 million illegal immigrants in this country.
This time both sides are motivated. Politically, immigration reform works for both sides. Democrats get to keep a promise. Republicans may get a jump on the next election.
If Congress drags its feet on immigration, the White House has a plan ready.
President Obama will lay it out today in Las Vegas. The White House says it's similar to what four Democrats and Republicans introduced Monday. "We're gonna get push back, but I think enough Americans are saying enough already, let's get this fixed," said Senator Lindsey Graham, (R) South Carolina.
It's plan puts illegal immigrants at the back of the line for citizenship, after they've passed background checks, paid fines and taxes, and learned English.
The key for conservatives to go along will be whether more border security comes first. "No one should expect members of the Senate are just going to rubber-stamp what a group has met and decided," said Senator Jeff Sessions, (R) Alabama.
"We will never put these people on path to citizenship until we have secured our borders," said Senator Chuck Schumer, (D) New York.
Advocates for reform say they'll push the plan. "We are also going to be marching, rallying and taking the streets, " said Hector Figueroa, SEIU.
"We have to support our Haitian brothers and sisters, our Jamaican brothers and sisters. It's not just the Latino community," said Florida Resident, Natalie Toledo.
Republicans make no bones about it - it's political. "The Republican party is losing the support of our Hispanic citizens," said Senator John McCain, (R) Arizona.
70% voted for President Obama last fall. Republicans want a chunk of that vote in 2016.

As school board members, you regularly make decisions that have a significant impact on your district's affairs -- such as updating your values and vision statements, adopting the annual operating plan and budget, reaching agreement with your faculty union on a new salary structure. But the highest-impact, highest-stakes decision that you and your board colleagues make is choosing the CEO.
What's at stake? Far more than you might think: your district's educational performance in terms of student achievement, faculty and administrator morale, and your district's managerial and administrative performance in areas like financial planning and management. Also at stake are external relationships with the community and pivotal groups like the chamber of commerce and local government. Even the governing performance of your board is on the line.
Of course, your superintendent working alone couldn't accomplish much. He or she must be backed up by you and your school board colleagues and supported by capable administrators and well-designed systems and processes. But no other district employee is in a better position -- in terms of authority, visibility, and access to resources -- to impact your district's affairs.
If you choose the wrong superintendent, experience has taught that the consequences are likely to be dire. You can expect to see the board-superintendent working relationship erode, educational reforms bite the dust, morale decline, and public support drain away. And on top of that, you'll be going through another expensive, time-consuming search you hadn't budgeted for.

text: Hi my name is Andy, my wife Ellie and I live on a diversified livestock & crop operation in West TN. We currently raise 1500 hogs inside, cattle, meat goats and a few hens for eggs. We raise bermuda grass, ryegrass and other types of forage, a few acres of corn mostly to bundle for fall decor or silage and we raise about 8 acres of pumpkins. We are currently trying to market our farm and related activities for fall agritourism events and in doing so we thought it would be great to offer some home-produced honey in with our fall decorations, home-made soaps and jellies and so on. I have a very knowledgable local bee producer who is willing to help me, but I am interested in hearing about the time frame that would be acceptable to introduce a colony or two into an area around our farm for this year. Is it too late? Will the bees do well on pumpkins alone or will they need more than what 8 acres of pumpkins can put out? Thoughts and comments of any kind are gladly accepted! Thanks and I am glad to have found such a valuable resource on a subject with which I am not too familiar.

600S skeleton movement
Measuring only 3.5 mm thick, the 600S skeleton movement is an ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement. In an echo of its predecessor the 600P movement, featuring the world's thinnest shaped tourbillon carriage, this movement is distinguished by its esthetic command. The visual effect it produces is accentuated by the presence of the stylized "P" of Piaget. The asymmetry of the design required meticulous adjustments in order to respect the balance of the whole movement. In what is a genuine technical feat for an ultra-thin movement, its bridges and its mainplate were drawn as far as possible, then guilloched, thus creating a uniquely refined design with a guilloché sun-burst motif shining out from the center of the carriage, reminiscent of the sun's rays and the divisions of time. The 600S skeleton movement is also equipped with a power reserve indicator at 6 o'clock. Directly positioned on the mainplate, it complements the extraordinary visual and technical ambition of this prestigious movement.

In Syria, killing the messenger hasn't killed the message
A report on the first anniversary of the Syrian uprising
Weeks of sporadic protests seeking government reform burst into full-fledged unrest on March 15, 2011, when thousands of demonstrators gathered in four Syrian cities. Within days, authorities had cut off news media access to Daraa, a center of the unrest, beginning a sustained effort to shut down international news coverage of the uprising and the government's increasingly violent crackdown. As the civilian death toll has reached well into the thousands, according to U.N. figures, the last four months have taken a particularly dark turn for the press. Eight local and international journalists have been killed on duty since November, at least five in circumstances that raise questions about government culpability. Yet one year after the Syrian uprising began, killing the messenger has not silenced the message.

Miss April 2011 Jaclyn Swedberg re-creates her magazine motorcycle pictorial for one lucky Playboy Radio listener.
When The Morning Show announced that it would have Miss April 2011 Jaclyn Swedberg come in and recreate her sexy pictorial by straddling a listener's motorcycle, the emails and photo submissions started to pour in.
Launch Gallery
Some reeked of desperation, as submissions included scooters, tricycles and golf carts. One listener even submitted a photo of his armored vehicle. And then there were those who followed instructions: send in a photo of your bike with a copy of the April issue of Playboy prominently featured.
And so on Thursday, the moment had finally arrived. Listeners came from all over California and as far west as Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
The winner was Contestant No. 3, Brian, who rode 40 hours from Fort Bragg to Los Angeles, stopping only in El Paso, Texas to make it on time.
And get this: Brian built his own bike. It took him four months to make the thing. The crowning moment of the young bike's life came when Miss April 2011 disrobed, wearing nothing but a string bikini and boots, straddled that monster and posed for a photo shoot that will forever remain ingrained in Brian's brain – and make that 40-hour trip home a real joy ride.
"For everything I went through building this motorcycle, this is an absolute dream for me," Brian said.
