Homemade "Instant" Pancake Mix and Blueberry Pancakes
After the maple festivities last Saturday, Hubby really wanted pancakes on Sunday morning. He was sad to find out that we didn't have any pancake mix in the house and asked me to grab some at the store. I scoffed at him and said I'd make them from scratch.
We rarely eat processed foods at home. Except for pancakes. We don't eat them very often, but usually there is a container with the mix that you just add water to. I'm sure the ingredient list on that container is pretty scarey and contains tons of ingredients that no one knows how to pronouce. So I decided to take this opportunity to prevent those super-long-there's-no-way-I-can-read-this-ingredient-so-I-probably-shouldn't-be-eating-it ingredients from getting into our bodies.
Aside from my baking obsession, we eat pretty healthy in the Beantown Baker household. We both eat our 5 fruits/veggies a day thanks to Hubby packing lunches for us every morning. He includes something for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. A lot of produce and the rest is homemade. For dinner we always cook unless we're eating out.
So I set out to find a pancake recipe to make from scratch. I did grab some beautiful blueberries while I was at the store that morning to throw into our pancakes (I used the rest to make our favorite banana-blueberry muffins). I was going to start with Google, but instead headed towards my shelf of cookbooks. I do have quite a few and I'm trying to use them more often. I opened my trusty Alton Brown cookbook and found a perfect solution. A recipe for a pancake mix! So I would be able to have pancakes that morning and have a mix to use in the future.
The mix is very simple to throw together. I'm storing mine in the freezer because I doubt we'll use it up in three months. I found the pancake batter to be a bit thick, so I added more buttermilk to thin them out. This recipe yields some really tasty pancakes. The addition of those plump blueberries and real maple syrup definitely took these over the top!
One Year Ago: Cinnamon Biscuits
Yield: 3 batches of 12 pancakes
For the Instant Pancake Mix
6 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp sugar
For the Pancakes
2 eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
4 Tbsp melted butter
2 cups Instant Pancake Mix, recipe above
1 stick butter, for greasing the pan
2 cups fresh blueberries, optional
Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F.
Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.
Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.
Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel so that no butter is visible.
For the Instant Pancake Mix
Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container. Shake to mix.
Use the mix within 3 months.
Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and sprinkle on fruit if desired. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set.
Serve immediately or remove to a towel-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel.

These pancakes look perfect! I don't make pancakes that often, but this mix would be an easy throw together to keep in the freezer. Yum!
Great idea to freeze the mix. I have been making our pancake batter from scratch for a while now, and it's nearly impossible to go back to the boxed stuff! They just taste flavorless and cardboard-y. I had been reluctant to make mix ahead of time because I didn't want it to go bad. Thanks for the idea!
What a great idea to have a homemade pancake mix on hand!
A good substitute for buttermilk – since most of us don't keep it on hand, but do have milk in the fridge:
1 TBS white vinegar with enough milk added to make 1 cup. Allowed to sit for at least ten minutes, this mixture will clot up and mimic buttermilk sufficiently for most recipes.
Those pancakes look amazing!! Oh my goodness.
i think it is a great idea about freezing milk, too. I buy whole milk for baking only so I need to do that.
Wow. Those look so good I might have to whip some up…..like…NOW.
You can also use lemon juice instead of vinegar in the substitute for buttermilk provided by Nancy.
One thing to note about this recipe though. Not only is the buttermilk needed for the chemical reaction, but it also provides a great flavor to the pancakes that I don't think you get from using the substitute. Also, buttermilk will keep for a very long time in the fridge since it's acidic.
AB mentioned in his cookbook that there are only four thinks he will not make without buttermilk: cornbread, biscuits, waffles, and pancakes. I tend to agree with him.
What a great idea to make your own pancake mix and then when you want quick pancakes, you can have a healthy mix 🙂
Mmm, these look way better than a mix! Great tip to store the mix in the freezer too!
Yum! I love blueberry 'anything'. Alton Brown recipes are always winners. If you're looking for an even healthier pancake recipe, check out my 'fluffy whole wheat pancakes' on my blog. I mix batches of the dry ingredients and keep them in the freezer. Thanks for posting – I'm off to buy some blueberries! Oh, and I'm a new follower 🙂
These pancakes look amazing!! Bookmarked!
Hey Jen I am eating these pancakes at this very moment. They are so fluffy and filling! May I borrow this recipe for my blog and link it back to you??

When you put Diener in the game, bad things happen. That was mainly Danny's fault, but the reciever has to create some space too. Not just pin himself against the baseline.
Should be up more after that start. But considering the drought that followed, 56-50 is pretty nice at the half.
Read my Pacers blog:
Follow my twitter:
I've heard Diner is a much better teammate and locker room guy that Saras was
This space for rent.
We need to get to the line. If we keep throwing up three's we're going to get killed in the 2nd half
Dun bailed out. No way he would have hit that shot.
This space for rent.
Good job of getting the foul, but why is Dunleavy fading away from Iverson
Um I must say, J.O. is str8 pimpin in that suit.
Tins looks great
Melo should get an offensive foul just for trying that ****.
I swear we're like slow motion running the break. We must be the slowest uptempo team in the NBA.
Diener >>>>> Saras
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
Let's put these Nuggets away. Keep the starters in the game until they pass out
I wasn't being serious. But if you really want to compare the two. Saras had a better shot and passing skills. Overall, they are both pretty bad.
Great. Ivy's pissed.
EDIT: Miss. We're going to wish we had gotten that free throw.

What?!?! Tough call on Danny
They wait like 5 seconds to call an offensive foul WTF is up with these refs?

It's a piece of necessary wisdom that will be shared with countless college students this fall by nervous parents: Tell a story at a party, and it's heard by a handful of people, whose reactions you perhaps have some ability to predict. Tell it on the internet, and it will be heard by the people you know and the people you don't — and the latter outnumber the former by several orders of magnitude. Don't put your picture on Facebook flashing the camera or looking drunk or kissing someone you might later regret kissing.
But for people trying to break into some kind of a creative field, the ability to broadcast your work is a blessing. Perhaps your stand-up video on YouTube will be the one that goes viral, or your blog post will be the one everyone reads. There are a million opportunities to be seen, and the best part is that you don't have to deal with so much "no."
"No, we won't publish your piece." "Okay, I'll put it on my blog."
"No, we won't give you a record deal." "Okay, I'll make YouTube videos."
"No, we won't publish your book." "That's okay; I can do it myself for e-readers."
The development of online writing and performance exposes new voices and lets those voices experiment with provocative, enormously creative content, and there are a thousand good things to say about that. Gatekeepers have traditionally been similar to each other in sensibility and demographics, often to the detriment of diverse content.
But who you are talking to no longer has anything to do with who you think you're talking to. You can tell a story to your narrow circle a hundred times and have nobody bat an eyelash, but the minute you step outside that circle, everything is completely different.
At an improv comedy show on August 14, audience members were invited to step up to the microphone and tell a story that would inspire an improv set. Partway through the performance, a man who identifies himself as "Eric" begins to tell his story. He explains that he was working as a host/cook at Second City in Chicago, and a drunk woman from out of town hit on a friend of his, but the friend had a girlfriend, so he effectively passed her number off to Eric. (Like ... a baseball card? If you already find this story creepy, rest assured that it's only getting started.)
In Eric's version of events, he goes to the woman's hotel room, and she tells him he's not the guy she invited. "Yeah," he says, "but I'm the guy who showed up." [Huge audience applause.] She tells him to leave, but he persists (with charming lines like "my friend said this was a sure deal"), and when that doesn't work, he asks to borrow her cell phone, telling her it's so he can get a ride and leave. When she goes into the room to get her phone, she leaves the door open. As he describes it, this made him think, "Bingo." (Be aware before you watch the video, where Eric begins speaking at about the 38-minute mark: It's upsetting and crude.)
So he goes into the room and closes the door behind him. She tells him again that he needs to leave, and at that point — again, quoting Eric — his thought is, "It's now or never." So she asks him to leave again, and he says he doesn't think she really means it, and then they "end up on the bed ... making out." How exactly they "ended up on the bed" when she was just telling him to leave repeatedly is left unstated, but to cut to the chase, he winds up having sex with her, after which she tells him to get out. Asked if she was attractive, he gives a noncommittal "eh."
[I'll wait here while you take a hot shower and wash off that story.]
Predictably, the question arose pretty quickly, as Jezebel asked it, "Is This Comedy Monologue A Rape Confession?" Since then, there's been extensive discussion in various comment sections of the fine points of consent and law and intoxication, and since The Second City tweeted from its official account that it had "alerted the proper authorities," those questions will have to be answered by people who can figure out what really happened and whether all or any of this story is true.
Here's the thing, though. In the best case scenario — in the absolute sunniest way you can possibly look at this story — Eric is telling a story that he thinks is really funny about how he used an anonymous woman like a blow-up doll, doing whatever he had to in order to get in the door, ultimately persuading her to go along, caring not at all that she didn't want to have sex with him, having sex with her, and then leaving. He treats her like she's inhuman and valueless and gross and nasty but still fine for having sex with once, and he thinks he's the hero of this story.
What has stuck with me ever since I saw this video — what has really kept me restless and bothered — is that he has no idea what he's doing. He has no idea that anybody would object to this at all, while I'm over here barely being able to listen to it because it's so upsetting and it pings every instinct I have about creeps and The Gift Of Fear and RUN RUN RUN YELL FOR HELP. He told this story thinking maybe that it would get on YouTube and everyone would think it was hilarious ("No, but I'm the guy who showed up!"). He had no idea that Second City would wind up saying, in effect, "Uh, yeah, we ... called the cops."
If Eric thought telling this story in public would open up a serious public back-and-forth about whether this is a story of sexually assaulting this woman, he wouldn't have done it. He thinks he looks cool in this story, and indeed, a certain number of people in the audience keep laughing the whole time.
This is the curse and the blessing of the instantly multiplied audience, I suppose. Whoever has heard this story before apparently thought it was funny. It certainly doesn't seem to be the first time he's told it, considering that at one point he actually says he's speaking "the way I tell this story to my friends."
Maybe it's not true. Maybe it's part-true. That certainly matters to the police, and to the woman, and to him, and presumably to his family and friends. But whether he considers this a true story where everyone will be on his side or a comedy routine that will strike people as some kind of a hooray-for-the-underdog narrative, I find it profoundly upsetting. Having it be true is awful, but having it be something he would invent or embellish, either as comedy or as image management, also crawls across my skin like an entire army of cockroaches.
Certainly, the fact that he told this story may be a good thing if it gets somebody to deal with whatever is going on here, whether there's a crime to prosecute or not. But the idea that somewhere, there is a guy who thinks this story makes him look good, who apparently had no idea that it would make him look to a lot of other people like a criminal or at best a revolting heel, makes me wish the always-on video had never been invented, because part of me just didn't want to know.

Nonprofit's work will help some Habitat homes cut energy costs
Roger Anderson with Habitat for Humanity of Denton County is all about energy efficiency.
When University of North Texas alumna Jena Maharramov approached him about installing solar panels on some of the houses the organization builds, he thought it was a great idea.
Anderson, construction services manager for Denton County's Habitat affiliate, said that when Maharramov initially called, he didn't think he'd be able to accept the offer because it might set a precedent if the organization installs solar panels on some houses and not on others.
But Maharramov, through a nonprofit organization she started, was planning to donate the solar panels and the installation.
"That's different," Anderson said. "That's a gift in kind."
Maharramov, 26, who earned a degree in public administration from UNT, started the nonprofit, Singularity Solar Energy, in 2010.
She came up with the idea based on a similar program in California, she said.
The organization also offers environmental education and plans to offer workforce education in the future, Maharramov said.
At this point, Singularity is working exclusively with Habitat for Humanity of Denton County.
"I feel like we have similar goals," Maharramov said of the partnership, adding that both nonprofits have an emphasis on energy efficiency.
Habitat for Humanity works to offer low-cost, energy-efficient, high-quality homes, Anderson said.
Last year, the first solar panels were installed on a house in Sanger. And solar panels were recently installed on three-bedroom, two-bath home at 714 Lakey St. in Denton.
The solar panels can reduce a household's energy costs by several hundred dollars a year, Maharramov said.
The number of solar panels installed depends on the size of the house, she said. On the Sanger house, eight solar panels were installed, to save an estimated $350 or more in electricity costs for the homeowner, Maharramov said.
The Lakey Street house has nine panels, and the electricity costs should be about the same as the Sanger home, she said.
For the best placement of solar panels, the house has to face the right direction — ideally, south, Anderson said.
The solar panels convert light photons into DC electricity, and then an inverter converts the DC electricity into AC current. The panels can be maintained simply by cleaning them with a water hose.
The solar panels are paid for through donations to Singularity. Green Mountain Energy was the organization's first corporate donor, Maharramov said.
The nonprofit is looking to attracting more corporate donors for future projects, Maharramov added.
As of 2012, 83,000 residences in the U.S. had solar panels or photovoltaic installations, according to a 2012 report by the Solar Energy Industries Association. Photovoltaic system prices fell by 27 percent in 2012.
Texas ranked ninth in the country in the number of photovoltaic installations in 2012, the report said. This year, the association forecasts that the market will continue to grow nationally by 30 percent.

There was joy at Chirton Primary School, near Devizes, today as staff and governors were told officially that it will not close.
Coun Lionel Grundy, Wiltshire Council's cabinet member with responsibility for children and schools, phoned chairman of governors Nicky Wragg this morning to give her the glad tidings that the school is not to close despite falling pupil numbers.
Mrs Wragg told the Gazette: "We are absolutely ecstatic. Now the school has a future everyone is feeling much more positive and we will now go full speed ahead to attract more pupils."
Claire Perry MP, who has supported the school in its struggle to continue, visited it this morning and said: "We should be able to keep these small schools open.
"It has taken a threat like this to galvanise everyone into action but the parents have done such a good lobbying job."

NEARLY 1,000 Thorpe Bay homeowners have started to cut themselves loose of legal restrictions which cost them thousands of pounds to get permission for even minor changes to their homes.
So far, 943 people on the Burges Estate have decided to pay to free themselves from a legal condition imposed by Thorpe Estate, which owns the freehold to much of the estate land.
Restrictive covenants allowed the firm to charge as much as £50,000 for permission to build extensions, or even put in double glazing or new front doors.
Burges Estate Residents' Association is now writing to the other 600 households affected, urging them to take the chance to alter their deeds – a right won as a result of an Echo campaign last year.
Last September, Thorpe Estate gave 1,550 households until April 2014 to apply to buy freehold rights to their homes, or get the covenants lifted.
Residents' association chairman Ron Woodley said: "What this means is for now and for ever, they will have freed themselves of the draconian measures any freeholder of the estate could use."
Under the deal, leaseholders can buy their freeholds for £1,500, or get the covenants lifted for £750. Homeowners who fail to take up the offer by next month could still be penalised by any future owner of the overall freehold. Other covenants, designed to safeguard the character of the estate, by barring flats conversions and commercial use, will remain.
Fred Watson, 82, of Tyrone Road, submitted his agreement to his lawyer on Friday. He said: "It's good. It's one less hurdle if you want to sell your house."
A spokesman for Thorpe Estate said: "We are pleased to announce the first residents' association-agreed freehold acquisitions and releases of covenants completed earlier this year."
HAVING won the covenant battle, the Burges Estate Residents' Association is keen to become more actively involved in the future management of the estate.
Chairman Ron Woodley and treasurer Mike Stafford, have fought a nine-year battle to force Thorpe Estate to surrender the covenants.
The group may now work with Thorpe Estate to enforce restrictive covenants against householders who decide not to buy out their covenants.
Mr Woodley, who is also an Independent Southend councillor for Thorpe ward, said: "There is a possibility, but we are in the early stages. The association will be there to enforce the covenants and make sure people who haven't taken the offer fulfil their obligations."
The association could take over management of the estate from Pier Management, which has been accused of overcharging.
In future, households which refuse the present offer are likely still have to pay a £250 plus VAT admin fee to get permission to change their homes.
PROTECTIVE covenants have plagued Burges Estate residents for nearly three decades.
Homeowners who only owned leasehold properties – which was the case for most – were legally obliged to get the freehold owner's permission to make even the smallest alterations.
For this, the freehold owner was entitled to make a "reasonable administration charge".
However, charges started increasing in 1984, after the Thorpe Bay Estate Company bought the freehold.
They increased further in 2001, when the estate was jointly taken over by the Regis Group and local firm the Robert Leonard Group. The two firms own Thorpe Estate, the company.
In 2011, they bowed to mounting public pressure and adverse publicity and agreed residents only had to pay £250 plus VAT to alter properties.
However, in August 2012, it became clear some residents were still being charged more.
As a result of an Echo story, Thope Estates' agent Pier Management, agreed to repay £1,000 Frank and Denise Summers had shelled out for permission for a disabled access ramp at their home in of Marcus Chase, Thorpe Bay.
Other residents also won refunds as a result of Echo stories.
By December that year, the firm had repaid more than £71,000. The total now stands at more than £100,000.
A year ago, Burges Estate Residents' Association voted to accept a provisional offer from Thorpe Estate allowing residents to buy their freeholds or have covenants lifted.
The deal was offered in September and the first deals have now been finalised.

A pair of cat lovers from Sandbeds have a new feline friend after they rescued a stricken kitten in Spain.
Husband and wife Craig and Jenny Scull found the injured, stray kitten lying on rocks on the coast near Alicante.
After falling in love with newly-named Rocky, the caring couple hatched a plan to bring him home.
Mr Scull, 48, a crematorium worker, said: "He was at death's door when we saw him.
"I knew that as soon as my wife picked him up he wasn't going back on the rocks. We love cats, and now that we've saved Rocky, we hope he can have a decent life."
Mr Scull said he and his wife, a nurse, regularly travel to the area for their holidays.
They were staying at their apartment for a week-long break when they stumbled upon Rocky while visiting a nearby marina.
Mr Scull said: "It was baking hot so I don't think he'd have lasted much longer.
"We later found out he'd been hit by a bicycle and injured his back leg."
The couple took him to a vet where they were told that because Rocky was so young the injury should heal by itself.
The assessment proved correct, but the Sculls had to return to England without the kitten because he was too young to qualify for a pet passport.
But an animal welfare charity based in Spain arranged the documents and injections necessary for Rocky to be transported to England.
He arrived in England earlier this month and joined the Sculls and their two other cats.
Mr Scull said: "We think he's about four or five months old, but it's hard to tell because he's a bit small.
"He's eating like a horse now, so he'll put on weight fairly quickly.
"We're keeping him indoors for now because we daren't let him out. But he's champion – he's up and down the curtains just like a typical kitten."

Against Baltimore, he was 15-30 for 170 yards and 2 picks, we scored 15 points. Against KC he threw for 268 yards, but he had 3 picks. That's 5 picks in the first 2 games and we still won somehow, but not because of him. Not to mention in the pats game he stunk it up in the first half as well and dug us a huge hole.
i appreciate what Manning has done for Indy, but he didn't do it all himself.
The picks in the Baltimore game were basically as good as punts, IIRC. He managed that game just fine.
If Peyton wins the super bowl, I think he'll retire immediately afterward. The guy has admitted he's not the same player physically that he was before the neck injury. And Peyton while great, most definitely cares about his stats IMO, I'm not saying that to criticize him, I just think it's true. Peyton was a big reason we won so many regular season games, he was a big reason we made the playoffs every year.
But once we were in the playoffs in 2007, Peyton was not the reason we won the Super Bowl that year. I'm just being honest. Peyton's best years were actually the last few IMO, because that team was a piece of crap.
As far as Irsay wanting to save money, I think that's been silly, maybe on Peyton's contract, but we have what like $40 million in dead deals we are paying on right now?
Peyton's second half against New England was one of the greatest performances by a QB in playoff history. Yeah his stats in the 06 playoffs weren't pretty, but it's not like any of his interceptions cost us. Also, Brady has had some pretty bad playoff stats in recent years. The playoffs are just a different animal as you are playing against elite teams.
Agree 100% with what you say about Irsay. Aside from Peyton, the players we got rid of are no longer any good. I'm grateful for their contributions to the golden era of Colts football, but that doesn't mean that we should have kept them forever.
Irsay has always shown that he is willing to spend on the team. Always. The Marlins example is silly. They got their stadium then after one year they dumped their entire team. The Colts opened their stadium up in 2008 and Peyton played there for three seasons, which included a Super Bowl appearance. In the fourth season, he missed the entire year because of a bizarre injury that no one could have predicted. It's not like Irsay was thinking "I'll fleece the city and get this new stadium. I'll keep Peyton for the first few years to make people think I care. Then I'll cut him after he gets an injury that keeps him out the entire season."
Lucas Oil Stadium opened in 2008, which was Manning's 11 season. Common sense said that Peyton couldn't possibly have played that many seasons there. Three is definitely shorter then we would have expected, but this is a stadium that is going to be around for a long long time. You don't build a 750 million dollar stadium purely to showcase one player that had already played for a decade.
No one could have ever dreamed that things would play out like they did. But the Colts brand seems to have escaped relatively unscathed. Just keep winning.

I do not think he would retire if he were to win it this year or next year. Elway didn't. If he is healthing and enjoying his situation, he will play until his skills erode. Peyton has always been a hard worker who stays in shape year around. He also has taken less punishment than some QBs in their career. I can see him playing to age 41 or 42 if he want to do it and he can get the job done and is surrounded by a pretty good team...... He needs about four years to get all of the QB records if he stays healthy. There is nothing wrong with putting them even more out of anyone's range in the near future (Brees, Brady, Rogers, etc).....
From the Colts' "firesale" exactly one player that was let go from the Colts is having a better season or is even close to his Colts' replacement. Everyone one of those personnel moves, excluding Manning, have made the Colts better in the short term. Everyone one those those personnel moves, including Manning, have setup the Colts exponentially better in the long term. Whether they ultimately reach their potential is another matter. Just because you supposedly hate Irsay doesn't change this.
And you constantly bringing up Luck inevitably being knocked out for a game, season, or career, doesn't support you in whatever you keep trying to say. You mean it's possibly a football player could get hurt? What if Peyton's storybook comeback comes to a screeching halt because of a blind side hit that breaks his neck? Will you finally give up your nonsense on here, or will you continue to repeat the same things over and over?
That too will end.... If they have that kind of attendance then why do they call me every month begging me to repurchase my season tickets? They lost a lot of season ticket holders. Visiting teams and last minute purchasers have kept that number high. When this train falls of the tracks (and, yes, I believe that will happen in the next couple of years if not yet this year) and there will be blackouts.... Imagine what would happen if, say, Luck injured something that caused nerve damage and could no longer play. I hope that never happens but every player in the NFL can have it happen and Luck has taken way too much punishment and he will continue to take it this year and probably for several years to come..... This not a knock on Luck but on Irsay and management for not having a line to protect him. Peyton had that line and they were always good at pass protection if not the run..... Luck will certainly need "luck" to survive that. The NFL is littered with QB who did not.....
Forgive us all if we take your predictions of the Colts impeding doom with a grain of salt.
So this is the business plan:
Get a new stadium, cut Manning in relatively short order, then bring in a low-priced JV squad to play football. Then sit back and rake in the dough.
Except how much dough can you rake in with a losing team, no star potential, blackouts, and dwindling gate receipts?
If Irsay was about short-term dough then keeping Manning until his game deteriorated so much the crowd turned on him (IOW milking his career and name value) seems like a better business plan.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
Now back to our current awesome team. Here is a good Q and A The Star did with Grigson:
I don't blame you for that at all......
Isn't that exactly what we're doing? We are 6-3 in just our second year without Manning starting and first year without him on the roster. Last year we sucked because we had the worst collection of starting QBs to ever take a snap.
Can we just stop talking to him? There's no point in arguing.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Yes, by all means, I mean I might say something you just don't want to hear.... Picture three monkeys here.....
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

European Commission and Lebanon hold second economic dialogue meeting
The European Commission (EC) hosted the 2nd EC-Lebanon economic dialogue in Brussels. On the Commission, side the discussions were led by Directorate General External Relations, Christian Leffler and Directorate General Economy and Finance, Alexander Italianer.
Lebanon's Minister of Economy and Trade Marwan Hamadeh headed the Lebanese team. The agenda included Lebanon's economic perspectives and performance, European Union (EU) economic situation, Lebanese industrial competitiveness under the new free trade agreement and the impact of
enlargement on the Lebanese economy.
The two sides agreed to deepen coordination on implementation of the Association Agreement and accepted the idea in principle of establishing an experts group to examine areas of concern to Lebanon, such as high energy and production costs facing industry.
The EU policy for Wider Europe featured prominently in the discussions, including Lebanon's expressed enthusiasm for full participation. Contacts on trade matters will continue through the network of trade coordinators set up earlier this year. — (menareport.com)

Good day all programmers in the house. I'm working on a project that involves creation of pdf dynamically, attach each created pdf to the corresponding email address in the database and then send the email and the attachment on a preset day. In a nut shell, I want to create a system that functions like what bank uses to send pdf document of each of their customers' account details at the month end to each customer. I can create pdfs one at a time using fdpf. What I want is at the click of a button in my web application, all pdf for each member that will be using the application will be created and attached to the corresponding email address and sent to the right person on a preset day. Please how do I get this achieved? thanks in advance.
I suggest you to use wk2html for PDF creation. It can html + javascript.
Thanks belekevicius. I actually like fpdf and it works great. I just want to know how to do the task I asked about up there. If you have an idea, tha'll be great. Thanks for sharing.
Well, for starters, I wouldn't do this.
How big are the PDF's? Have you asked your users if it's ok to send potentially mailbox-jamming amounts of PDF to them?Will your SMTP server allow you to send that many emails in a single day?
Thanks StarLion. The pdfs are not big at all. I'm planning to host on VPS so that there will be no restrictions. Any advice?
Assuming that's not an issue (which.. I'm still thinking it will be, but whatever), break down your steps.Get list of customers.For each customer,Create PDFEmail PDFNext customer.
Perhaps you can indicate which part of this you are having trouble with.
Thanks StarLion and I'm really sorry for responding late. I actually have an issue with what the steps should be. I am thinking of generating all the pdfs first at a click of button in a directory and on clicking another button meant to send the emails, the script that runs will locate each generated pdfs and attach to the coressponding emails correctly and send to the customers. Is that a better way or there is another better way to doing this? Thanks in advance man.
I'd work it:
Select recipientCreate their PDFAttach PDF to email and senddelete PDFrepeat for next recipient
that way you only need to have the one PDF that you are about to send taking up space on the server.
Thanks Felgall, foreach should be able to get me through it, I think? I will write the code and test to see how it goes. Thanks a lot.

Angela sent a bunch of Katie Jump Rope fabric (one of my favs!) for us to turn into 2 Dresden Plate blocks! I've never ventured into this area so I dove in this morning! The tutorial we're using is from the Sew Mama Sew! blog and created by Elizabeth of Oh Fransson!
Angela sent us pre-cut pieces so the hard part was done! I finished piecing this circle in about an hour so its quite manageable! Next is to attach it to a creme 16" square block then add the center fabric to finish it off.
Thanks, Angela, for helping me master a new block and get over my fear of 'messing it up.'

A PODIUM finish for Sandiva in Sunday's 1,000 Guineas will thrill Malton trainer Richard Fahey.
The Musley Bank handler takes his three-year-old filly to Newmarket in optimistic mood following her victory at headquarters in the Nell Gwyn Stakes last month.
Indicating the rising strength of his yard in recent years, Sandiva is a 16-1 shot with bookmakers to land the early season Classic and Fahey declared he was "very happy with her".
Bidding to give jockey Frankie Dettori a first British Classic victory since 2011, and Fahey his first, Sandiva has only disappointed on unsuitably soft ground in the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp last October.
But having asserted over seven furlongs in the Nell Gwyn, a race traditionally labelled as a trial for the 1,000 Guineas, Fahey believes she didn't receive enough credit for that victory as she prepares to step up to a mile for the first time.
"If are not excited now, you shouldn't be in the job," he said when asked about the weekend. "Sandiva came out of the (Nell Gwyn) race fine and I am delighted with her. The prep run was good and we will see what happens.
"I thought, and you tend to think this about your own horses, that she didn't get the credit she deserved. She had a terrible draw and she still won and Frankie was delighted with her.
"Her pedigree says she will get the trip but you never know until you try. There was nothing that happened at Newmarket that bothered me.
"We knew at home that she had trained on and that just rubber-stamped it. I am very happy with her. She has to step up.
"At Longchamp, she shouldn't have run on that ground but we were a little bit under pressure. She was bought to run."
Asked about Sandiva's rivals in the Guineas, Fahey added: "Obviously there is Rizeena and Aidan (O'Brien) will be happy with his (Tapestry and Bracelet).
"There are a couple of French fillies but they won't take her off the bridle and that's half the race run for her. It's about what happens in the last furlong and a half and we know she handles the track.
"If she could be placed I would be delighted. It's a big thing for us. If we can compete with the big boys with a filly that cost £18,000 then that's not just good for us, it is good for racing."
The QIPCO Guineas Festival takes place at Newmarket this weekend and is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series. All Series races are shown live on Channel 4.

A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.

I am so excited by what I've learned! I've already used some of the lessons in my everyday work to determine what course of action I should take when resolving issues. I'm looking forward to more courses in the future.
I had just purchased an expensive home study course, when a friend told me about this one. I compared the curriculum and they were nearly the same. I opted for this online course and feel it met my needs 100%. I looked forward to the lessons and learned a lot. Neal's writing style was engaging, sometimes humorous, and understandable. I will continue to pursue a career as a Legal Nurse Consultant. Thanks Neal!
I have enjoyed taking this course and feel that I have gained a great amount of knowledge. I hope to take other courses in the field of law.
I learned so much by taking this course. I now have a feel of what a LNC does and what steps I can take in order to start a new career. Thanks!
Mr Bevans did a great job on this course. It was very helpful and informative. I learned some valuable lessons on this course. It gives anyone a good starting point in establishing a career in Legal Nurse Consulting. I liked the few personal "stories" thrown in. It make if feel like a real classroom.
Thank you very much for being such a great teacher. You have been very clear in your teaching and I enjoyed your humor as well. I feel confident in my ability to start my new career as a LNC and am looking forward to it!
This course provided more than one could have anticipated. Engaging, informative, and useful.
This was first experience with an on-line course, and I must say it was a very enjoyable experience. I think Mr. Bevans was a very knowledgeable instructor, and I have a new respect for lawyers due to his expertise. I will be recommending this course to my fellow nurses.

Armadillo Scooter Wear is finally being sold in the states via Benchmark and Scooter Shop, and we couldn't be happier. Similar to Belstaff and Sydney-based Dues Ex Machina, Armadillo understand that showing up to work in proper biking gear should not dampen style. Armadillo offers parkas, hoodies and Macintosh-style coats for men and women that come standard with elbow and shoulder body armor.
All jackets are designed with Mp3 pocket, headphone loops, underarm vents, windproof with fully taped seams as well as using at least 3000ml waterproof material that still allows for breathability.
While Armadillo's armored pants, gloves and men's Macintosh aren't being offered on the American sites, we're hoping that gets rectified. After watching the video tease us with a prototype MX back-protector, we'll take what we can get for now.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the market is exhibiting three major characteristics of a war zone: destroyed structures; figurative "bullets" flying in every which direction; and creepy spells of quiet that are both good and bad, serving as times to reload and re-strategize.
Altogether, these mean rampant confusion will be the order of the day for next few weeks. Grabbing a good piece of economic data will only temporarily mitigate fear of potential late-afternoon Debbie Downer comments from President Obama or a prominent member of the House or Senate. Everything you learned from those books you bought at the now-defunct Borders could be burned, for an entirely new investing playbook is being penned. Along with it comes the creation of a solider-like investor class -- that is, hardened market players who march to the beat of ever-changing orders based on ground conditions.
This fella of the young finance movement is fed up with the daily mood swings of Mr. Market, and has been blunt with clients. One suggestion either to buy the dips -- which is essentially the same as saying valuations are cheaper than they were in the previous session. The second has been to liquidate and go to cash. After all, why should one buy a Treasury note ahead of a credit-rating downgrade?
As far as that second option is concerned, I've been suggesting clients return to the market as soon as the indices are able to circumvent distribution days after a few periods of encouraging buying activity. This was on display last week -- stocks reacted to fundamentals when they were given the opportunity to detach themselves from the political IV bag.
Thus far, I have been content with whistling past the graveyard, defending a more bullish stance that I began I began executing upon almost a week ago. A couple of reasonable arguments continue to underscore the defense here.
● Mr. Market has told me he will unlock the door to higher valuations -- and then earnings estimates -- once the perpetual threat of the fiscal cliff is removed. Even in a world that has to undergo "fiscal cliff" effects, Mr. Market is willing to bid up issues on the attainment of clarity, and from there it has grand plans of whiting down to the true batch of winners as cliff talk is put into law.
● Economic data, oddly enough, continue to skirt any impression of the fiscal cliff's giant paws. Companies dependent on outside capital investment may be in incrementally worse shape vs. the second quarter of 2012 -- but, by and large, "death by fiscal cliff" has not yet arrived on the scene.
Still, I am a realist, so I do acknowledge that little negatives seem to be snowballing. If I see another session in which the following are confirmed, it's back to being a bear roaming the woods.
● After "bouncing" from oversold levels, stocks are having difficulty clearing resistance points. #UberStall
● The consensus view holds that domestic data are on an improving trend, but analysts don't appreciate that it could collectively represent a pre-fiscal-cliff peak. For instance, could the Conference Board's confidence measure really touch a new high again in December? For real? Know that a peak here would translate into the potential for a shock to the market.
● I feel as though Mr. Market and yours truly are the only ones crying wolf on retail stocks. This sector has led in 2012, so to see it trade horribly with "strong" reported sales numbers is a red flag. I hold two reservations dear. First, from mid-December onward there could be a holiday sale cliff, with deal-seeking consumers having pulled forward sales ahead of the fiscal cliff. Second, earnings upside can't be driven higher if consumers are not spending more per transaction (as highlighted by figures from IBM and, to a lesser extent, Shoppertrak).
Here are some names I am using as tracking dogs for retail: Aeropostale (ARO), Kohl's (KSS), Macy's (M), Nordstrom (JWN), American Express (AXP), Visa (V), Discover Financial (DFS)
● Financial stocks are acting as if they want to slip through a trap door -- or key support levels, for you technical analysis fans, including 10-day moving averages.
● SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) aren't doing much. I'd like that to be the opposite -- in other words, a whiff of inflation would be welcome.

Topic: Phase II trial of Davanat
This is a drug company press release
From July 25, 2006
Phase II Cholangiocarcinoma Trial
The Company initiated a U.S.-based Phase II study of its lead carbohydrate compound DAVANAT(R) with 5-FU for first line treatment of patients with Cholangiocarcinoma (cancer associated with the bile duct). The objectives of the trial are a complete or partial tumor response (RECIST) and progression-free survival. The multi-center, open-label study will evaluate approximately 30 patients treated with DAVANAT(R) and 5-FU for at least two cycles or to disease progression. Cholangiocarcinoma may represent an opportunity for orphan drug status approval.

A MASKED 14-year-old boy who robbed a youngster of his mobile phone in a subway has avoided a custodial sentence.
The lad put a scarf over his face and grabbed the BlackBerry handset from his young victim's pocket after repeatedly punching him in the quiet underpass.
But after hearing the defendant had spent six months in custody on remand and now seemed to be turning his back on crime, a judge imposed a youth rehabilitation order.
Chris Smyth, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court the 15-year-old victim was talking on his phone as he walked in the street on July 29 last year.
He finished the call as he went into a subway under Westfield Way, Hay-don Wick, shortly before 2pm and put the Black-Berry back into his pocket.
As he did so a youth entered the underpass at the other end and covered his face with a scarf as he approached the boy.
"He punched him three times to the stomach and put his hand in the boy's pocket. He took out his mobile phone and some loose change that also fell out," he said.
As he ran off the lad shouted, 'Don't take my phone' and the robber returned, took out the SIM card, threw it down and then fled.
The victim told the police what had happened and at 3pm officers saw a lad matching the description and, after a short chase, caught him.
He was also picked out by the victim in an identity parade and when he was questioned he refused to answer any questions.
Mr Smyth said when the defendant's phone was examined it was found he had been sending text messages to his victim.
The lad pleaded guilty to robbery after prosecutors accepted that he was not armed with a knife at the time.
He has a number of previous convictions for theft and is also awaiting sentence in Birmingham for racially aggravated criminal damage, the court heard.
Alex Daymond, defending, said things started going wrong for his client, who is now 15, a couple of years ago and his mother put him into care as she could not cope.
"It has been a somewhat unhappy history. It seems there is undiagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder which has contributed to his problems," he said.
After being remanded into custody in a children's home, he was released in March and has now been found a placement where he is doing well.
"He seems to have had a very positive turnaround. This young man seems now to be moving in the right direction," he said Mr Daymond said if his client, who is also starting an apprenticeship, was sent to custody he would be "at risk of picking up bad habits".
Passing sentence, Judge Tim Mousley QC said: "Having read what is said about you in the Youth Offending Team sentencing report, here we are 12 months later; it seems for the first time in your young life you have realised you were stupid. You have realised how the victim felt about it all."
He imposed a one year youth rehabilitation order with supervision involving various courses and a three month curfew.

All across the USA people are talking about giving Christmas Gifts that are "Made in America" and– we're beginning to see some pretty impressive results in the form of job creation.
Well, here's another way do something great with your holiday shopping. How about donating to local food pantries and shelters in honor of the people on your Christmas list? Instead of scrambling around trying to figure out what on earth to get all those people who already have everything, why not honor them by helping someone who's hungry or cold?
Give the gift of hope to those who have lost hope. How many parents who were in a position just like you and me very recently– have no job today?
In our area we have many local organizations in need of donations, including the Reformer Christmas Stocking, Feed the Thousands and The Vermont Food Bank, in addition to local churches that each have a program to give hope and help. This year the need is more critical than ever.
What's interesting is that when given a choice, all of the people I polled said they would rather have this kind of donation given in their name than receive another pair of gloves for Christmas. I bet your friends would say the same. What do you think?

WESTBURY'S Fiona Price is toasting a dream international debut after claiming a team medal at the World Masters Athletics Championships Half Marathon in Hungary last weekend.
On Sunday, the 46-year-old wore her first Great Britain kit as she secured a fifth-placed finish in the women's vet 45 category in Budapest, notching up a time (1:27.57) only bettered by her display at last month's Bath Half Marathon (1:26:58).
The mother-of-four, who runs a catering business, was also picked for the vet 40 age group's team event and helped twins Sian and Lisa Finlay take silver behind the host nation.
"I was absolutely elated – I thought that I'd end up finishing eighth or ninth, so fifth is amazing," said Price, 46.
"It was really different because you spent a lot of time looking for other people in your age group, but I don't think I could have pushed it any further than I did.
"I didn't expect to come back with a medal and because I completed the race, I can wear my Great Britain kit in this country now and I'll be doing that with pride.
"I'd love to do more internationals and after I do the London Marathon (April 13), I'm going to start doing some track training because there's the World Masters track championships in Lyon next year (August 2015). I'd love to do the 10,000m there."

How to Deal with Getting Accepted, Waitlisted, or Rejected
Vassar College's little digital slip-up on their application website between 4:oo PM and 4:30 PM last Friday led dozens of early decision applicants to be wrongly informed they'd been accepted by the school when, in reality, they had not.
Isn't there a quote or something that embodies this kind of love and loss? Something like, "Tis better to have been accepted and then…de-accepted…than ne'er to have been accepted at all…."?'
I highly doubt any of the students involved in the mix-up feel remotely happy they were accepted for a brief thirty minutes, however, there's something we can all take from this experience: life will go on if you don't get into your dream school.
So here's how to cope with all the possibilities of college admissions:
Getting Accepted to Your Dream College
You might want to pinch yourself just to make sure it's real. You might also want to wait thirty minutes to ensure the school doesn't retract its decision by telling you about a digital mishap. Once you've come to terms with reality, give yourself a pat on the back, tell your family and loved ones, and try to remain humble around your friends who are still waiting to hear back from schools, or possibly even the same school. The moral of the story is to be classy about your success.
Once you're settled in with the fact that your numero uno choice requests the honor that you to join their student body next fall, it's time to work out the logistics. How will you pay for school? What kind of scholarships and/or merit aid were you offered? You have until May 1 to make a decision. In the meantime, finish up that FAFSA schtuff, and take your time to weight your options. If you can afford the school, and you know it's the right place for your higher education, then let the school know you're enrolling, and let the other colleges you've applied to know that you will not be enrolling. This is good karmic measure because the earlier you let other colleges know you will not be enrolling, the sooner they can open up another spot for a student on their waiting list.
Getting Accepted to Two or More Colleges
Not everybody has a dream school. So if you get accepted into multiple schools and are not sure which one you'll enroll at, the best idea is to visit campus. Sit in on a couple classes, check out the dorm life, the dining halls, and peruse around campus for the overall vibe. Another great way to narrow down your choices is to compare prices. If one school is offering you more money, see if the other schools that accepted you are willing to match offers.
Being Waitlisted
The waitlist is the purgatory of college admissions. You're not in, but you're not flat-out rejected either. So what do you do when you get waitlisted? If you want to ride out the possibility of being accepted to the school, send in your waitlist confirmation card. You can also contact the college to let them know you're still very interested in the college so you can stay on their radar. Earn any new good grades, awards, or improved test scores? Let the college know about your success. If you're super serious about getting accepted, you can even implore the folks who wrote your college recommendations to contact the college and reinforce their faith in you. Still, there's no guarantee, but always better to put in some effort than live with regret.
Getting Rejected
Okay. Hear me out: worse things could happen. Getting a rejection letter is not the end of the world. You might never know why a college didn't find you to be the right fit for their school, but you will move on and get a great college education. So what do you do when you get rejected? Take about 24 hours to mope and feel bad for yourself, and then move on. That's it! If you hold a rejection letter too close to your heart, you'll hinder your growth at the college you do wind up going to. Plus, you'll forget about it soon enough anyways 🙂

I enjoy grilling outside and trying different combinations. I was doing kabobs one day and thought this would be good a good hamburger. So we tried it and liked it. I hope you enjoy it also.
The Northwest coast makes up part of the Pacific Rim so we therefore have many Asian influences that have become part of our culture now.
It is a great privilege to live on the Chesapeake Bay. We watch the watermen at work every day; in rain, shine or Nor'easter.
My recipe includes two things that Washington State is known for - salmon and apples.
Salmon has been a staple of Northwest cuisine throughout known history, as have blueberries, both wild and cultivated.
I created this recipe after having a salmon club sandwich at a restaurant. I loved the combination of salmon and bacon and thought it would make a delicious combination for a burger.
The Pacific Northwest is known for its fresh, flavorful salmon and delicious berries. I have always enjoyed blueberries, and thought that they would complement the mild salmon flavor.
We are displaced Seattle persons, living in Texas. While in the Northwest we enjoyed the fresh wild-caught salmon.

Evolution Hoax
A9 TV, 9 April 2012
(Despite all the support given by the EU, Greece is still in dire straits economically. Most recently, the official Greek police organization has decided that police officers should be hired as private guards for a specific fee in the framework of the government's search for new sources of revenue)
What Greece should do is unify with Turkey. Greece lived in great plenty and abundance in Ottoman times. Opening the borders would put an end to it. Abundance would flow in, like water. They must do way with visas and passports. They should tell the officials on the Greek border, "Go and sit at home or do whatever else you like." Prosperity would flow in. Let them come and do business here. We can all meet up. Let them come and dine here, and we will go to them. There would be a huge boom and regeneration. But we have the frontiers now, and that is what the problem stems from. If people could just walk across when they got there, if there is a flow, that is all you need. Our Greek brothers must put pressure on the government and say, "We want unification with Turkey." They must say they want things to be as they were in the past. Then the Greek markets would be bursting with prosperity.
(The internet site Lepka, with close connections to Israeli Intelligence, has claimed that U.S. President Obama has sent a message to Turkish Prime Minister Erdoğan and Iran's spiritual leader, Khamenei, saying that "Obama is pleased by Khamenei's statement that they do not want nuclear weapons. Obama and America have no plans to annihilate Iran. But Tehran must change its hostile attitude toward America. It must stop referring to America as an enemy and the Great satan. Instead, the Obama administration asks for messages emphasizing that relations are improving.")
Iran is on the communist wing, in the Shanghai group. That being the case, it will automatically be hostile to America. It will be politically opposed. And even if it is not hostile, its partners will encourage it to be so. So the communist system has been brought in under an Islamic mask. Of course there are things about America that need to be opposed. They emphasize those, but Iran never wants Islamic Union. Because you have to be a Shiite or else. After that, you have to believe in the phantom Mahdi. They have actually no belief in the Mahdi. Everyone knows that no such Mahdi will ever come; a Mahdi who flies in the sky and walks through walls. How could that ever be possible? They themselves know it is impossible. The communists are very clever. They have drawn it into their system. They say they believe, even though they do not. A Marxist, communist state; when asked, they speak of the Islamic Republic of Iran. So this good thing can happen as Muslims become aware and begin learning how to question. They need to say, "Why do you permit the possibility of a Mahdi you do not believe in? Why do you tell such tales?"2012-04-26 14:28:57

On July 22, APS President Michael Turner (right) presented a plaque to Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Charles McMillan, to recognize the many scientific achievements of the Laboratory since its founding in the midst of World War II. Presented as part of the APS Historic Sites Initiative, the plaque reads: "Created in response to an international crisis, Los Alamos successfully developed the atomic bomb under the leadership of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Its scientists and engineers have made numerous contributions, including discovery of the neutrino by Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines, development of high-performance computing, large scale numerical simulations, study of material under extreme conditions, integration of physical, earth and life sciences, stewardship of the national nuclear stockpile, and leadership in the science and technology of global security and non-proliferation."
