The Auvergne boasts a distinct peasant cuisine, which, over many, many years, has found its way into some of the smaller Paris cafés, especially those run by Auvergnats. One fine example is potée Auvergnate – pork stuffed with cabbage. This particular version serves six people, takes about 20 minutes to prepare and just over an hour and a half to cook.
- 2 garlic sausages
- 180g of bacon in one piece
- 2 medium onions thinly sliced
- 24 garlic cloves
- 1 calf's foot (this is optional)
- 450g of pork stewing meat
- 1/2 cup of dry great northern beans
- 5 cups chicken broth or water
- 1 small sprig of rosemary
- 1 spring of thyme
- 4 bay leafs
- 2 medium potatoes
- 360g of pork chops smoked
- 1 small cabbage head cut into strips
- Black pepper
- Salt to taste
Prick the sausages then place in a good-sized pot or casserole dish with the bacon and onions. Place over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes.
Remove the sausages and set aside. Pour off excess fat.
Return the pot to the heat, add garlic, calf's foot (if you are including this) and pork stewing meat, cover and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Add beans and enough broth to barely cover. Add rosemary, thyme, bay leaves and pepper. Cover and bring to the boil and then place pot in oven at 180oC for an hour.
Check from time to time and add water if the beans dry out.
Meanwhile cut sausages into 24mm pieces and quarter the potatoes. When the beans are soft add salt, smoked pork, sausages, cabbage and potatoes.
Replace cover and put pot into oven for further 35 minutes.
To serve:
When it's time to put dinner on the table, remove the bay leaves and serve potee straight from the pot.

Overheard in a bar, a possible encounter between the Big Day Out's greatest stars, somewhere in Auckland tonight.
"Ah, Uncle Jim. Good to see you again," said the tall fellow, wiping the beer froth from his mighty moustache on to the pinstripes of his sleeve.
"Nick? Or should I say Neek? How are you?" smiled the shorter, older man, his bare torso and low-slung jeans attracting glances from the bar patrons but no reaction from the staff. Other than audible whispers of "hey look, it's the guy from the broadband ad. Nah, it isn't. Yes, it is, Nah, it's not..."
The taller man observed his companion's tanned anatomy. He looked like a sepia-toned diagram of the human circulatory system.
"Um. Aren't you a bit cold? Can I lend you a jacket? I have spares ... and trousers too."
"No I'm fine thanks. I've been working out in the hotel gym. I think I broke their treadmill."
"Bloody hell. How did you do that?"
"The usual. Just jumped on to it ..."
"From a great height, knowing you."
"Well, yeah. They're just tempting fate building those places with a mezzanine. You gotta stay in shape for these shows. And at our age..."
"Our age? You're the Godfather of Punk, Uncle Jim. I'm a mere strapling by comparison. You've got 10 years on me at least."
"Right. But can you do this?" said the smaller man as he vaulted from the barstool to hang spinning from the rotating fan above the bar.
"Oh Iggy. Stop it. Come down."
The smaller man dropped to the floor to a polite smattering of applause from the other patrons and the staff shrugging (some texting "gess wott guy frm the brdbd ad jst dd???!") as this was only an imaginary incident with no room for their intervention.
He smiled, bowed and sat down again next to the man in the suit.
"So, big Nick. Gotta tell ya. Really loved your latest thing."
"Thanks. Which? The album? The novel? ..."
"No, the car crash. You took out a cop camera. Wow, buddy, rock 'n' roll!"
"Hardly. Had the kids in the car. Everyone's fine. But their mother was ..."
"Pretty pissed off, I bet."
"Well, yeah," said the taller man. "but I was just working on something about her reaction to the whole thing."
He coughed and started singing in a dark baritone: "My woman's wrath knew no bounds/ when he found/ I had stranded her first-born upon that island of traffic/ as my mighty jaguar/ roared its last/ and I pleaded and I cried and I beseeched her: Look dear, there's no reason to panic ..."
"Wow" said the smaller man eyeing the following hand-written nine verses laid out on the bar in front of his companion. "Nick. You are clearly the Leonard Cohen of insurance claims."
"Thanks Uncle Jim. So what time are you on tomorrow?"
"Early evening. You?"
"Half past 10. Never really enjoyed the daylight shift."
"Well, okay it was good to catch up Nick. Oh yeah, I started that new Bunny Munro book of yours, but I must say it was a bit ripe, even for me."
"Thanks, coming from you that's high praise. Hold on, I'll come up in the lift with you. Those really annoying Germans from Rammstein have just arrived. They keep slapping me on the back and asking about my good old days in Berlin."
"You get that too, huh?" replied the smaller man, as the pair strode for the lobby.

Disney Princesses as Pokemon Trainers
Here's a fun little art series done by DeviantArtist Hapuriainen featuring the classic Disney Princesses as Pokemon trainers. This would probably make for a very popular animated series. Can you come up with any fun and ridiculous story concepts?

I'm a husband,Dad,Son,brother, GrandPa and a friend. I found this site on accident while I was searching for some death records on Mom, I admire these people and am thankful to these fine folks at Find A Grave. My wife Cheryl, and I love to go graving together, we love the thought of helping to bring some comfort to family or friends of those resting in the cemeteries that we visit. I am a life member of the SCV & MOSB and a member of the Order of the Confederate Rose, and my wife is a life member of the Order of the Confederate Rose, and a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. We love to photograph and record the resting place of ANY Confederate veteran we come across as well as install a Confederate flag to indicate his service to the CSA.
We also love to reenact at battles of the war of northern aggression and to do living history events to educate the public about this tragic time in our nation's history that is purposely being omitted from our children's curriculum.

RE: John Edward Perlis Simpkins
I just thought you would like to know that I have just today been authorized a Confederate head stone from the Veterans Administration, and after it's delivery I will install it and there will be a marker dedication cerimony with full military honors. If you would like for me to, I will send you the information once the details have been finalized.
WOW! I am VERY PLEASED that you would think of me and include me in this endeavor. Is there anything I can do to help?
I do so hope you'll be able to post pictures of the headstone! HOW EXCITING!
Will there be any paperwork for the ceremony? I surely would love a copy!
Please let me know if I can help in any way! You've been SO helpful and such a kind friend! I'm here if I can do anything!
Most Sincerely,

The message you left re: John Edward Perlis Simpkins addressed to Shirley A. Dixson, Slack, Noll (#46634291) already HAS helped! :) GREAT INFO!
I'm related to the Simpkins, as well. Are you?
J. E. P. Simpkins older sister, Ellenor (Ellen) Simpkins Sweeden (Cook?) Moore is my 3G Grandmother!
I'd like to drive out and visit the cemetery. I live in Mesquite. About how long of a drive do you think it'd be? ...and, any chance I could meet you out there, sometime?
I still have a Sweeden relative living in the area and would like to go visit her, while I'm out that direction.
THANKS for being so kind and sharing the information! Please let me know if I may be of any help, as well!
THANKS, AGAIN...and, TAKE CARE! Always nice to meet relatives.

Bronx Mowgli Checks Into 'Melrose Place' With Ashlee Simpson
It's take your baby to work day on the set of the CW remake of Melrose Place. Redhead mommy Ashlee Simpson toted her baby Bronx Mowgli Wentz with her for filming in downtown Los Angles on Saturday.
Little Bronx alternated between being carried by his mother and rolling around in a stroller while Mama Ashlee pushed him around, looking sporty in a pair of short shorts, tank top and tennis shoes.
Maybe little Bronx can sweet talk his way into a walk-on role.

Location description from manager
The Island of Gozo region
Let me tell you about the Mediterranean's best kept secret.
5km North West of Malta and south of Sicily, the small island is 9 miles long and 5 miles wide – the equivalent of Manhattan! It was first inhabited in 50000 BC when farmers from nearby Sicily crossed the Mediterranean and settled. Today it has about 27 000 residents. Not just a summer gem, it's a worthy all-year destination.
Fondly regarded as having "stood still", Gozo has managed to preserve its traditional ways whilst adapting to the future. The island is relaxing, peaceful and "laid back", compared to Malta. It is rural and green with beautiful countryside landscapes and coastal views. For a small island, Gozo has a big personality, rich in folk law, history and culture. Rustic, charming, and charismatic with a warm hospitality, describes Gozo. Unique and authentic, the Gozo experience lures visitors back time after time. "Foodies" are also drawn to the island by the variety of excellent fresh and flavoursome Mediterranean Gozitan cuisine. Its wineries also produce some of the most respected wines.
Gozo's main town is Victoria where you'll find a hive of activity. There are many café's, bars, restaurants and shops, a Culture Centre and the Citadel, Victoria's Cathedral. There are 2 shopping arcades, each with a supermarket open all day. Pjazza Independenza is Victoria's main square, shared by a morning market and number of open air café's. It is normally found buzzing with the chatter of locals and tourists enjoying a coffee or Cisk. Great for people watching.
Victoria is surrounded by 13 smaller towns and villages. Some of these also have small rural hamlets. Arriva now operates an extended service with bus stops in all villages. You can either catch a bus to a neighbouring village or to Victoria where the main bus terminus is located. From here, there is a network of routes to all villages making it possible to see the island by bus. It is a very cheap way to get around (a one day ticket is currently €2.60). Gozo has also introduced a "Hop on, Hop off Bus". A great leisurely way to see all of Gozo.
There are five main beaches on Gozo and many smaller bays and coves. Beaches include;
Xlendi it is possible to swim in a small sandy beach or paddle, dive and snorkel off surrounding rocks. Xlendi is an excellent dive site, a thriving fishing village and small harbour.
Malsaforn has one of the best known bays and buzzes with a hype of activity in summer months. Restaurants and bars surround the turquoise Mediterranean, serving local cuisine such as Gbejniet (cheese), fresh local fish and rabbit. Lampuki is a seasonal speciality. As migrating fish, they pass the island in autumn.
Ramla is Gozo's largest, yet unspoilt and beautiful beach dating back to Roman times. It is a vast blanket of red sand, ideal for sun worshipers. The sea is shallow and perfect for children.
San Blas is a delightful little beach of red sand. Of exceptional charm, it is quaint, idyllic. Quite secluded, it always escapes the crowds
Dahlet Qorrot beach is quaint and you can swim from rocks on both sides in crystal clear water. Fishermen use this tranquil bay as a base and boats can be seen bobbing quietly on the sea.
The Azure Window at San Lawrenz is a popular feature on the tourist map. It is a natural arch formed out of the sea millions of years ago when a limestone cave collapsed,
Religion and culture play a significant role in life on Gozo. The Saints are the focus of worship both past and present. For such as small island, Gozo has a high concentration of churches - forty six in total. Each village has a unique church. So impressive, they say is the church dome in Xewkija is larger than St Paul's in London!
Every year, Gozo celebrates its Saints by organising spectacular feasts throughout the summer months. Each town and village will host a splendid "festa" with celebrations every weekend from late May to mid-September. Each festa is organised in honour of the patron saint to whom the parish is dedicated. These are lively celebrations with colourful illuminations, brass bands, processions and plenty of fireworks. The façade of the village church and main streets are dressed with thousands of twinkling lights. Scenes we may compare to a major street party – but times a thousand.
Other churches and temples of historic acclaim include Ta' Pinu Church. This is Gozo's national shrine and most iconic church. Legend has it that Ta' Pinu touched many with its mysterious powers and today, is a world renowned relic. Also parts of Gozo's heritage are a number of historic temples. The Ggantija Temples in Xaghra, a World Heritage Site, are the oldest freestanding temples in the world. Dating back to 3500BC, they are attributed to a mythical giantess.
The temperatures are typical of a lovely Mediterranean climate and long warm summer. Warmer temperatures appear as early as March and climb steadily as months of April and May are very pleasant. June can offer hot climate with July through to September being the hottest – average temperature 30C/86F. As we would expect, August is the hottest. October is a great time to visit if you're looking for less heat but a pleasant sunny climate. Although lesser temperatures November to February, these months can still offer as many days of 5 – 6 hours of pleasant sunshine.
Offering a wealth of rich historical heritage, Xaghra is a particularly picturesque village encircled by the lush valleys of Ramla, Ta' l-Ghejjun and Marsalforn and by three beautiful bays - Rambla (considered Gozo's best beach), Ghajn Barrani and Marsalforn.
History shows Xaghra has been settled since the earliest times and possesses one of the most extraordinary structures on the Island - the Ggantija temple complex. Consisting of two Neolithic stone temples dating back to 3600BC, these gargantuan items are amongst the oldest freestanding stone buildings in the world and as such hold UNESCO World Heritage status.
Close-by is the restored eighteenth-century windmill, Ta' Kola, with its original mechanisms and miller's living quarters on view while for something quite different, the Pomskizillious Museum of Toys displays a range of antique toys and a waxwork of artist and rhyme-writer, Edward Lear.
Perhaps a more surprising village attraction is its caves! Hidden beneath two private houses in Xaghra's residential streets you find Xerri's Grotto and Ninu's Cave; while just outside the town, overlooking Ramla Bay, is the legendary 'Calpyso's Cave'- supposedly home of mythical nymph, Calypso, from Homer's Odyssey.
Xaghra's first parish church, dedicated to St Anthony Abbott, was originally a medieval chapel that later gained parish status in 1688 and still stands today. The parish, however, is now served by the much larger Basilica within the central square (dedicated to the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary). The 8th September marks the annual feast day and, unusually, serves a dual purpose: not only does it honour the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, but the date also marks "Il-Festa tal-Vittorja" (The Victory Feast) in memory of the Maltese victory under the Knights of St. John over the Ottoman Turks in the Great Siege of 1565.

Rose Januschka
LITTLE FALLS — Rose Januschka, age 86, of Little Falls, Minn., passed away Saturday, Dec. 31, 2011, at Diamond Willow in Little Falls, Minn.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 5, 2012, at Holy Family Catholic Church, Belle Prairie, Minn., with Fr. Nick Landsberger officiating. Interment will be in the parish cemetery.
Visitation will be held from 4–8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2012 at Emblom-Brenny Funeral Service in Little Falls with a Parish Prayer Service at 5 p.m., St. Ann's Society Rosary at 6 p.m. and Knights of Columbus Office of the Dead at 7 p.m.
Visitation will continue on Thursday at the church from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
Rose Philomena Schmidtbauer was born on Dec. 29, 1925, in Buh Township, Morrison County, Minnesota to the late Joseph & Mary (Boser) Schmidtbauer. She grew up on the family farm and attended country school. She moved away for her high school years and graduated from Breckenridge High School. She continued her education and received an LPN degree. She was united in marriage to Stephen Januschka on June 20, 1950, at St. John's Nepomuk Catholic Church in Lastrup, Minn. The couple made their home in Belle Prairie Township where they raised their eight children and lived all their married life until she moved to Diamond Willow in October, 2011. Rose enjoyed her career as a Nursery Nurse at St. Gabriel's Hospital in Little Falls for over 20 years. Upon her retirement, she volunteered at St. Gabriel's Hospital. Rose was a faithful member of Holy Family Catholic Church in Belle Prairie where she was involved in St. Ann's Society and St. Robert's Mission Group. Rose loved to giggle and her laugh was infectious. She always had a tender, kind, special place in her heart for those who needed it most. Often she gave words of wisdom, "cherish each day and make it a masterpiece" and "more good has been wrought by prayer than the world dreams of." She loved to cook, bake and read.

Born to a Jewish family in New York City, Serge J-F. Levy worked as a photojournalist for 10 years, publishing his work in such magazines as Harper's, ESPN and Life before turning to the art world. His first major solo exhibition in the United States, In Private, which is showing at Gallery 339 in Philadelphia, is anchored in the traditions of street photography. Levy's candid photographs of strangers in the urban landscape capture flickers of emotion that burst out of people in moments of intense passion. These flickers make private thoughts visible and hint at broad internal dialogues.
The photographs are primarily aesthetic objects, but they also have a social message, which Levy describes as "the need for empathy, interaction, and acceptance within the great diversity of the human personality." Levy worries that the public realm is becoming increasingly unfamiliar and uncomfortable as Americans spend more time in the private sanctuaries of house and car. His photographs jolt the viewer out of self-enforced isolation and encourage connection.
Levy's belief in the importance of identification between strangers derives, at least in part, from his personal history. The descendant of a Nazi concentration camp survivor, he says he is constantly reminded of the extreme passivity and indifference with which Europeans responded to the plight of their one-time neighbors. Levy's artwork has garnered him numerous awards, including the W.K. Rose Fellowship in the Creative Arts and recognition in contests sponsored by magazines The Photo Review and American Photo. For the duration of his street-photography project, he never left home without a roll of 35 mm film in his pocket and a camera around his neck.

INTC Q3 Beats Estimates, Q4 Rev View Light, Reduces Capex View
Intel (INTC) this afternoon reported Q3 revenue and profit per share that easily surpassed analysts' reduced estimates.
Revenue in the three months ended in September fell to $13.5 billion, yielding EPS of 60 cents.
Analysts on average had been modeling $13.22 billion and 49 cents a share.
The results were at the high end of Intel's reduced forecast offered last month.
Gross margin was 64.3%, on a non-GAAP basis, flat with the prior quarter. GAAP gross margin of 63.3% was better than the 62 the company projected last month, owing to "lower platform unit costs," Intel said.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $13.1 billion to $14.1 billion. At the midpoint, $13.6 billion, that is below the consensus $13.71 billion.
Gross margin is expected to fall to 57% this quarter, on a GAAP basis, as a result of excess capacity charges and higher inventory write-offs.
Intel built inventory in the quarter owing to lower-than-expected demand, it said:
Total inventories were up $415M as PC volume shipments finished lower than originally expected in the third quarter. More than all of the increase was driven by Ivy Bridge, partially offset by the reduction in inventory of older generation products.
CEO Paul Otellini said the results reflected "a continuing tough economic environment." He also said the company is "pleased with continued progress in ultrabooks and phones and excited about the range of Intel-based tablets coming to market."
Additional commentary by CFO Stacy Smith is available here.
Intel cut its capital expenditure outlook to a range of $11 billion to $11.6 billion, down from a prior range of $12.1 billion to $12.9 billion. The company had warned last month its spending will fall below the low end of that range.
Intel shares are down 51 cents, or 2%, at $21.89 in late trading.
Shares of other chip makers were mixed in late trading, with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) unchanged at $2.68, Qualcomm (QCOM) lower by 36 cents, or 0.6%, at $60, and Nvidia (NVDA) stock off a penny at $13.15.
Intel will hold a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it here.

|Re: st: Missing values in Mata functions
|Fri, 09 Sep 2005 11:21:24 -0500
I want to add something to my posting on the treatment of missing values in Mata functions. You may remember that I divided the numeric functions into three categories, (M) Mathematical functions (S) Statistical functions (U) Utility functions and then I said that (M) functions should handle missing values, it does not much matter what (S) does, and (U) functions do not allow missing values, or give a special meaning to them. I said that it does not much matter what a category (S) function does because good programming style is to make sure what is passed to them does not contain missing values, and that is easy to do. It is good programming style because, as the data are divided into separate, easy-to-use matrices, one subroutine might exclude one set of observations and another subroutine, another set. Remember, what distinguishes a category (S) function is that it works on raw data, and such data is invariably obtained from from st_data() or st_view(), where it is easy to exclude the missing values at the outset. Thus, I argued, although I did not explicitly say this, writing additional code in a category (S) program is probably a waste of time because 1. It is probably better that a category (S) function does not allow missing values, because otherwise, the user of the function may be lead into sloppy and dangerous habits. 2. Ben Jann <firstname.lastname@example.com>, who asked the original question, said he was doing this by coding if (missing(x)) _error(3351) Good idea, except -missing(x)- can be expensive to calculate. The missing() function has to make a pass through the data, looking for missing values, to establish that there are not any. Hence, even though it is probably better that a category (S) function does not allow missing values, there is a cost to imposing that. So here is what I add now: In a category (S) function that does not accept missing values, it is acceptable to omit if (missing(x)) _error(3351) as long as the function does something ugly in the presence of missing values. The ugly action could be abort with error, or it could be a result with some or all missing values. As long as something ugly happens, the user of the function cannot be mislead. On the other hand, if the function that would return something that could be be misinterpreted as a valid result, one should probably include if (missing(x)) _error(3351) -- Bill firstname.lastname@example.com * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Picture Perfect: SOCA Presidential Gala
The work of three acclaimed contemporary photographers, smooth riffs from a live jazz band, delicious appetizers under tent, luscious desserts, Club Soda libations and nice weather added up to a picture-perfect experience for those attending the opening of the USF art season—the Presidential Gala at the School of Creative Arts on Sept. 7.
"Beyond the Human Experience: Three Contemporary Photographers - Luis González Palma, Gabriela Morawetz and Holly Roberts" showcased three internationally recognized photographers that define the human experience as a visual language, figuratively and symbolically.
Each artist used photography and nontraditional media such as paint, collage, fabric and metal to create uniquely visual works that fascinated the viewing audience.
Guatemala resident González Palma examined the power of communication through the gaze and body language of his subjects. His powerful and moving portraits of the indigenous Maya of Guatemala mesmerized viewers.
The work of Morawetz, of Poland, described the sleeping self as it relates to human subconsciousness and isolation. Many large works were installed with dual layers or overlaid with tulle to create a holographic look.
Roberts, an American, used paint, foil and aerial photographs to create works describing unknown interpersonal realities that heighten the natural and sublime found in the world.
On hand at the gala after delivering a Closer Look lecture at the North Campus Sept. 5, Roberts said she uses aerials shot from planes during her travels to augment meaning in her works. "The photographic image allows me to begin the process of trying to determine where it is that I need to go," she explained in an exhibit card description. Some of her works are part of collections housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
In conjunction with the exhibition, the Artist Spotlight Gallery displayed a collection of photographs donated to the University of Saint Francis by nationally recognized photographer and instructor, Stephen Perfect. These photographs are by Perfect's artist partners or students over a 30-year teaching career at Saint Francis College and other schools.
The exhibit runs through Oct. 6. Weatherhead Gallery hours are Monday–Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m. For more information, call 260-399-8064.

When Images "Lie": Dancing with Sarah Palin and Barack Obama
In October 2008, at the height of the gear-up for the November presidential elections, Martin Rice, a Tampa Bay, Florida musician and graphic designer, vented his frustrations visually and digitally. He created an image of Barack Obama dancing with Sarah Palin, and captioned the pic with "unfortunately, this is what the country wants."
In September, approximately 52 million people watched the first debate between candidate John McCain and then-candidate Barack Obama. A few weeks later, 18 million people watched a single episode of Dancing with the Stars.
Rice sent the pic to a few friends. Within a week, the photo had been picked up by multiple new sources, including CNN and ABC, had been posted to more than 1000 blogs, and turned into an iPhone wallpaper. Within 2 weeks, a Google image search for "obama palin dancing" returned more than 1.5 million hits.
What are some of the dangers and powers of photo parody in a "viral" world -- that is, in a world where an image can become popular, downloaded, and reproduced on thousands of web sites within minutes? What are some of the dangers and powers of photo parody in making political statements? These are great questions to bring to the classroom.
Discussions About This Resource
power of parody
Fascinating! Such great questions! Especially concerning the dangers and powers of photo parody with political statements. I'm fascinated by how we have responsibility as teachers to consider what positive or provocative ideas and messages we "should" or "could" spend our time spreading around the web. I teach a high school rhetoric class and want to try to have a socratic seminar conversation using your reflection, is that ok with you?
teaching photo manipulation and emphasizing the role of fake ima
Ok, I have to say it, what continues to surprise me is how my freshman students often believe images like this example. I incorporate visual literacy studies into my course, but I find that in general images seem easier to believe by my high school students than text. They know to evaluate websites, but when it comes to images, if it isn't obvious, they sometimes find it easier to believe. Somehow that seems backward to me. By the time they are seniors in my expository writing course, I know we'll analyze advertisements and images to a greater level and they'll get it. However, I wonder in an age when advertisements highly target teens if it's difficult for them to continually be critically questioning every text that they face. This is yet another reason why it is important to constantly question the texts and images we come across and to model this critical thinking for our students. The political parody, other parody, and manipulation of images is a major topic for students today. I'm beginning to wonder if students need more exposure in high school to actual manipulation of images. They believe that texts can be fake because they can create text that is untrue. They can also do this with images, but I don't often find the technology resources or space to have them manipulate images. I wonder if this is something to further explore to drive the point home.
Photo Manipulation
I wonder about this also. I think it would be worth it to spend a little time teaching photoshop to students so they can see how easy it is to create reality through images. If they create one themselves, even if it is a basic level attempt, perhaps they would be more critical when viewing the work of others.
Media studies classes would be a great place to try this out.
Photo Manipulation response
Thanks for your response, Tommy. I agree that it would be a nice to have students manipulate photos themselves. I'm looking for some free photo manipulation tools to try. It seems to me that this fits within a lot of the Common Core standards when we explore evaluation of information and argument. Sounds like a great idea.

Bible Records Staff Action
One of the oldest examples of the efficient work of a staff is found in the 17th Chapter of the book of Exodus. When Moses was leading the children of Israel through the wilderness, he was opposed by a tribe under Amalek. Moses ordered Joshua to choose some men and go out and fight against Amalek.
Moses, as commander in chief, with Aaron and Hur as assistants or staff officers, supervised the operation. The operation was described as follows:

A refugee lobby group today congratulated a Big Brother evictee who on prime time television last night called for asylum seekers to be released.
Merlin Luck, 24, arrived on stage during the live, national eviction telecast with his mouth taped shut in a mute political protest, and also revealed a sign reading Free The Refugees.
Greg Barns, spokesman for pro-refugee group A Just Australia, said Luck's unfurling of his banner showed that even on a non-political show like Big Brother the refugee issue was resonating.
"A Just Australia congratulates the young man on his courage and on bringing to the Australian public's attention the fact that there are still a number of refugees in detention centres both on Nauru and in Australia, particularly children," Mr Barns told AAP.
"It is another call to the Australian government to ensure we can get as many people out of detention between now and the federal election."
Upon his eviction last night, Luck, from Sydney, threw the live
telecast into turmoil when he arrived on stage with his mouth taped shut and
revealed his sign, fashioned from black tape on a piece of white sheet.
Luck, a record company employee, refused to talk and sat on the couch next to host Gretel Killeen holding the sign.
The show switched back to the housemates and then to a commercial break while producers and Luck's father tried to convince him to speak.
A show spokesman said later Luck came to Australia from Germany and spent seven years as a refugee.
Mr Barns said he believed Luck's gesture was genuine, in that it was so unexpected.
"It is a formulaic program where politics is not to be mentioned," he said.
"I thought it was a pretty genuine action on this fellow's part. He is to be congratulated for bringing the plight of refugees to a new and broader audience."

Thin and Delicate Peanut Brittle
Kate Zuckerman
The Sweet Life
Published by Bulfinch Press
This is one of the easiest recipes I make. It is also one of the most rewarding. Brittle stands alone as a great, simple, crunchy end to a meal. In the restaurant I prepare various nut brittles and use them in endless ways: as a crunchy topping for ice cream, as a cookie, as a garnish for caramel mousse. In a dessert, texture is as important as flavor. Nothing can replace the satisfaction one feels from a blend of crispy and creamy on the tongue. This recipe calls for peanuts, but you can easily substitute almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios.
Storage: This brittle will keep, sealed, in a cool, dry place, for 2 weeks. Humid conditions cause the brittle to lose its crunch and become sticky, overly chewy, and generally unpleasing. Though you might have the proper storage conditions, I do not recommend making this brittle on a humid day.
Hint: Perfectly round disks of peanut brittle:
To give the brittle a more finished look, before baking it you can sprinkle the ground caramel and nut mixture inside a round cookie cutter (2 inches in diameter) on a prepared pan, lis inch thick. Repeat this process until you have 12 circles. Carefully place the pan in the oven and bake until the caramel has melted and begins to bubble, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool completely, and remove the disks. If you would like to shape the disks, remove them from the baking pan before the caramel has cooled completely and place them on a desired form (a rolling pin or inverted muffin cups, for example). When completely cooled, the disks will hold the shape of the form.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 17 × 11-inch baking pan with parchment, aluminum foil, or a nonstick baking pad.
Cook the caramel (see the Note on cooking caramel successfully):
In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan combine the sugar, 1/3 cup water, and the cream of tartar. Cover and cook over high heat until the syrup comes to a very rapid boil. Remove the cover and continue to cook on medium-high heat until the sugar has turned a golden brown caramel color. Pour the caramel onto the prepared baking pan and let cool.
Grind the caramel:
When the caramel is cool, break it into 1-inch pieces. Place the pieces in a food processor or coffee grinder and grind to the consistency of granular sugar. Stir in the ground nuts.
Bake and shape the brittle:
Reline your baking sheet with parchment paper, aluminum foil, or a nonstick baking pad.
Spread the caramel and nut mixture onto the baking sheet in an even layer, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Bake until the caramel melts and begins to bubble, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the salt evenly over the melted caramel. When the brittle is cool, break it up into small pieces and serve.

This is it. Just one more week that we need to hear about kickers until next season. Or at least until the debate begins as to whether or not we should eliminate the position for 2017.
But not so fast.
We still should not overlook the position, as the upper level kickers can average about nine to ten points per game with the potential for a 15 point week. That could mean the difference between a championship and a painful second place finish. Let's take a look at how the kickers rank for this week:
- Matt Bryant – Atlanta Falcons – vs. New Orleans
- Adam Vinatieri – Indianapolis Colts – vs. Jacksonville
- Justin Tucker – Baltimore Ravens – at Cincinnati
- Cairo Santos – Kansas City Chiefs – at San Diego
- Stephen Gostkowski – New England Patriots – at Miami
- Stephen Hauschka – Seattle Seahawks – at San Francisco
- Will Lutz – New Orleans Saints – at Atlanta
- Sebastian Janikowski – Oakland Raiders – at Denver Read more

CLAIM: Demi Moore Harassing Ashton Kutcher with Constant Phone Calls
According to Star magazine, "Mila Kunis has a message for Demi Moore: Stop calling Ashton [Kutcher]!"
The tabloid claims Moore is "constantly harassing" Kutcher and quotes a so-called "insider" as saying that Kunis is "fed up with Demi's endless phone calls." Moore supposedly dials Kutcher "incessantly," purportedly driving Kunis crazy.
Star reports, "It's gotten so bad that Mila has laid down the law with her new beau: One call from Demi per night, then the phone gets turned off." The alleged new "rule" is in response to Moore supposedly going into "overdrive" when reports began to emerge of a possible Kunis-Kutcher romance. According to the magazine, "Ashton was constantly interrupting his time with Mila to speak with his ex, but five minutes later Demi would think of a reason to ring right back."
But it sounds like this supposed campaign of phone harassment is actually just more of Star's continuing campaign of misinformation about Moore. The tabloid already wrongly claimed back in April that the actress was heading for a relapse, shortly after falsely reporting that Moore had enlisted Oprah Winfrey as a "life coach." This latest story is just more of the same sensationalistic reporting. A source close to Moore tells Gossip Cop the tale of her harassing Kutcher with endless phone calls is "definitely not true."

Since our inception, the William T. Grant Foundation has been interested in facilitating a better understanding of how children and youth develop and thrive. Although our mission remains the same, our research interests shift to keep pace with the changing world. Currently, we are interested in research with the potential to improve the lives of young people between the ages of 5 and 25 in the following areas:
Reducing Inequality
Inequality by race, economic standing, and immigrant origin status is pervasive in the United States, and is evident across a range of domains, including the education, child welfare, mental health, and justice systems. We believe that the research community can play a critical role in reversing these trends. In 2014, the Foundation launched a ten-year research initiative to reduce inequality by identifying responses to this fundamental challenge in its many forms.
Within this focus area, we support different types of studies. We welcome descriptive studies meant to clarify the mechanisms for reducing inequality. We also seek intervention studies that improve the measurement of inequality in ways that will enhance the works of researchers, practitioners, or policy makers.
Improving the Use of Research Evidence
From 2009 through 2015, the Foundation supported research to increase understanding of how research evidence is acquired, understood, and used, as well as the circumstances that shape its use in decision making. 2016 marks a new direction for this initiative as we shift our focus from understanding how and under what conditions research is used to understanding how to create those conditions. With this new direction, we seek to build theory and empirical evidence on ways to strengthen the connections between research evidence, decision making, and youth outcomes. Our focus on improving the use of research evidence aims to identify, create, and test strategies to ensure that research reaches the hands of decision makers, answers their most pressing questions, and is used in ways that benefit youth.
Connecting Research, Policy, and Practice
In addition to supporting research, we seek to strengthen the connections between research, policy, and practice. We convene a national network of research-practice partnerships and seek to foster two-way streets for learning between researchers and practitioners.
Through our Distinguished Fellows program, we give practitioners and policymakers the opportunity to work in research settings and researchers the opportunity to immerse themselves in practice or policy settings.
Improving Youth Services in New York City
The Foundation offers a limited number of small grants for community-based organizations that provide services to children and youth in the five boroughs of New York City. These $25,000 awards are designed to improve the quality of services for young people ages 5 to 25.
Prior Initiatives
Between 2004 and 2014, we focused our research funding on understanding how everyday social settings—such as classrooms, neighborhoods, and families—affect child and youth development. As a subset of this initiative, we also supported research and other activities to improve the quality of after-school programs. Since understanding settings can be a critical means for reducing inequality in outcomes for young people, the studies and resources that were developed remain available on our website.

Stephen Abram had the honour to quick off the second day at Ticer. During the introduction he put successfully the finger on the areas where (Academic) libraries are failing when they don't cooperate and provide services that are geared towards the needs of users.
An important point he makes is the classical opposition of librarians, who are text based learners to graphical user interfaces. Libraries are equipped for documentary information whereas the whole world is changing towards a multimedia information world. Libraries are on most occasions not yet equipped or prepared for this change in information formats. Where they are shy of graphical user interfaces they are also shy of multimedia.
The point he makes in his extensive introduction is that libraries should interoperate on a global basis, and immerse people in content. All because
"The world is going to change with or without you….
Get ready"
He goes on to explain the importance of the generation y, the younger generation who can multitask, cooperate and are trained at problem solving rather than learning facts. Those are our future users with needs completely different needs. "Who is archiving computer games?" he asks the audience. Simulations are the most important way of teaching in military and defense industries. YouTube movies and Podcasts for research and learning are on many occasions much more effective for learning than textbooks. "Whose study collections include podscasts or vodcasts?" He challenges his audience.
A prediction from Stephen is that an iPod like device will contain all content ever created by 2020, i.e. the complete Web in your pocket. The future is mobile and we better prepare ourselves for this fact. The real question that we should be discussing therefore is what a Web 2.0 or Library 2.0 application should look like in a mobile environment.
Only after about 90 minutes het gets down to his 25 technologies that will transform Academic Libraries in the near future:
- Mobile
- Presence management – Twitter
- Tagging – Delicious
- Scrapbooking – Zotero, Connotea
- Personal Homepages
- Microblogging – Twitter (again)
- Social content – Wikipedia, Knol
- Public Social Networking – Orkut, Facebook, MySpace
- Private Social Networking – Plaxo, LinkedIn, Ning
- Social Network Integration – f8, opensocial
- e-Books and devices
- eLearning – Blackboard, Sakai, AngelLearning
- Cloud Software – Yahoo, Google, Bebo
- RSS groups and readers – Bloglines, Google Reader
- iTunes, MP3
- Podcasts & Screencasts
- Streaming Media
- SEO and GIS
- Federated Search
- Custom Search
- Next Generation content
- up to you
- Humans as the Competitive Edge
An intended powerpoint, which is actually different from the one presented can be found at Stephens Lighthouse.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Been there before and feel for you:-( You are right, this would be a perfect thing to get back into the quilting mode. No stress about seams, straight lines, and it will be something different to think about.Originally Posted by quilter64779
They do have some kind of oil in them. You can use them to clean your hot iron of sticky mess. It works real well and you will see the oil residue on the material you use to wipe your iron.Originally Posted by auntmarie
I love your blocks!! I make these kind of blocks, also, but have never used a foundation. The blocks hold together just fine while waiting for the next piece. Sometimes I will trim and press the seams right away and other times I will just finger press them.Originally Posted by QM
I like to make a dozen, or so, at a time. That way I can chain stitch them and not have to stop after each seam. Then I cut the individual blocks apart, press and pin the next piece on each piece. I put them in a pile and then they are ready for the next time I want to sew them.
I love making these they are totally stress free and a surprise when you get finished.
Yes, I put batting in the sashing. I generally refer to this as SEMI QAYG, because with the batting as a foundation, it is already firmly attached to the top. The back needs only minimal quilting.
I make at least 3 at a time to ease chain piecing.
I first, I made blocks that just kept getting bigger. they end up looking clunky and being unmanageable. I cut my foundations to a convenient size, make the blocks whenever I feel like it and keep a 'file' of them. When I have enough, I put together a quilt. Actually, I make them both 10.5" and 11.5". The larger ones are for HSTs with a solid fabric on the other half.
I had a bunch of scraps of cotton batting, so I used those for foundation first. Now I am using old sheets. I used up mine then picked up some at a thrift store. (and washed them with bleach to be on the safe side). Small holes don't even matter. The sheets are easier to handle but dont have the body of the batting version.
I use "old" pieces of fabric for the foundation...the kind that is too thin or too ugly or too whimpy or too faded,( you know...those you "hate to toss in the trash, but not good enough to use for anything" kinds of fabric). The only thing I notice is that it makes a heavier quilt because of that 'extra' layer of cloth in there.
:lol: LOVE IT
My grandpa recntly passed away, and I wanted to make a quilt out of his old shirts. But all his shirts are plaid, and a normal pattern with 10 different forms of plaid was just too mind boggling.Then I came across these. Loved the idea, but my OCD was just too overpowering, and I ended up so stressed over not getting mine square. So I decided to start playing with them. Just making whatever came to my mind. Just pulling little peices of patterns that I love. This is what I came up with. The seams are so crooked, the colors so contrasting, and I'm still stressed (dang OCD, and my need for perfect lines!) but I'm trying to let it go. It's like therapy, making something tangible from memories. Now, if I could really just convince myself to stop fretting over all the kooky seams and uneven blocks!
that is really nice..... I have a friend who lost his dad a few months ago and I am planning on doing this for him, with his dad's shirts..and I was wondering what kind of a pattern would work, so thanks for sharing yours.

Climbing overhanging ice isn't easy. Want to make it harder? Try doing it at 5,895 meters of altitude – in Africa. Late last year, ice climbing legend Will Gadd (recently named a Nat Geo Adventurer of the Year – vote for him to win the people's choice here) travelled to the highest point of the dark continent to climb some of the last remaining ice on Mt Kilimanjaro.
Check out the action in the video below
While Reinhold Messner did climb ice on Kilimanjaro in 1978, to his knowledge, Gadd is the first person to climb this steep, technical ice on Kilimanjaro using modern gear. What makes the ice unique is how quickly it's disappearing. By 2020, there's a good chance there won't be any ice left there at all – turning what is a once-in-a-lifetime experience into a once-an-epoch one.
Click below for more pics
The biggest challenges? Not Kili's infamously long approach on a busy mountain (it took Gadd and his crew a week of hiking to get there) or long routes like Will's project on Helmcken Falls (most of the Kili ice routes topped out around 60m) – but altitude.
"At 6,000m, it's tough to walk," says Will.
Once arriving at the glaciers, they were greeted the surreal sight of "fins of ice sticking out of hot sand… like icebergs on a tropical beach!" according to Will. The ice has been on top of Kilimanjaro for 12,000 years.
As for the climbing, it wasn't easy. "The climbing is very technically challenging," says Will. "Doing 50 pull-ups at sea level is tough. Doing them at 6,000m is a lot tougher."
And what about the weather? Temps dipped well into freezing during the night, but well above during the day. In ice climbing – where cold weather means stability and safety – warming temps present additional risk. How fast are the glaciers melting? "We would literally climb stuff that wouldn't be there the next day," says Will.
That's what made the climb so important to him. "I've climbed a lot of ice, but this was the last of it's kind. The glaciers are just small remnants truly in their last gasp. I felt very lucky to be there!"
