This is a recipe that was used at a preschool. It is very flavorful and feeds a lot of people. I would like to make it less fattening; there's too much oil, sugar, etc. Can you help? Thanks!
— Laura, San Diego
Pumpkin Squares
Makes 36 bars
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 large can pumpkin, or 3 cups fresh
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix well; add nuts or raisins. Pour into jelly-roll pan and bake at 350 F for 25 to 30 minutes (usually I have to keep looking at 10-minute intervals for about another half-hour).
Per 1-bar serving: 144 calories, 7 g fat, 24 mg cholesterol, 116 mg sodium, 20 g carbohydrates, 2 g protein, 1 g fiber.
Every fall, the pumpkin recipes come out, but luckily you can make these year-round with canned pumpkin. The amount of raisins or nuts was not included, so I added 1/2 cup to your recipe to get the correct nutritional calculations. If you add nuts, you have to add them to the calculations. For every 1/2 cup nuts, add 12 calories and 1 gram of fat per bar.
Low-Fat Pumpkin Squares
Makes 36 bars
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 cups pumpkin (canned or fresh pureed)
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup raisins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-by-15-inch pan (jelly roll) with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and egg whites together. Add the brown sugar and beat. Beat in the oil, pumpkin and buttermilk.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves (or substitute 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin-pie spice). Add the raisins to the flour mixture, then add it all to the pumpkin mixture. Beat just until combined.
Spread evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
Per 1-bar serving: 85 calories; 2 g fat, 12 mg cholesterol, 103 mg sodium, 15 g carbohydrates, 2 g protein, 1 g fiber.

300-Mile Atlantic-to-Shore Wind Power Line Gets First OK
An attention-getting proposal to build a 300-mile offshore transmission line to bring wind-farm power from the Atlantic Ocean to the U.S. mainland is moving ahead to an environmental review.
After a review, the Department of the Interior issued a finding of no competitive interest, which lets the unique proposal backed by Google and Marubeni Corp. get an environmental review.
Had there been a competing plan, the government would have had to hold an auction.
Atlantic Grid Holdings is the entity that has advanced the $5 billion proposal known as the Atlantic Wind Connection. It would be off the coast of five mid-Atlantic states and would take as much as 7,000 megawatts of wind-turbine capacity from yet-to-be-built offshore wind farms.
"The first-of-its-kind Atlantic Wind Connection is an encouraging sign of significant industry interest in developing the infrastructure to support offshore wind development," Deputy Secretary of Interior David J. Hayes said to reporters, according to Bloomberg News.

In partnership with Interpol, Canada hosted a series of counter-terrorism courses and training programs for participants from countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Terrorist operations have become more sophisticated, calling for more intense counter-terrorism efforts. Recent tragedies in Kenya, Nigeria, and Iraq emphasize the importance of training and the need to maintain pressure on terrorist groups.
Recognising the increasing need for criminal intelligence, Canada's goal is to boost the ability of police officers around the world to detect, investigate, and disrupt all forms of terrorism.
Since 2007, Canada has partnered with the Jakarta Center for Law Enforcement and Cooperation (JCLEC) to fund and coordinate training programs in areas such as Drug Interdiction, Criminal Intelligence, Surveillance and — more recently — a Human Smuggling Investigative Training Program with Australia and New Zealand.
RCMP Staff Sergeant Donald Dupasquier has been the Canadian Senior Police Trainer for over two years and has delivered numerous such programs, following in the footsteps of the Senior Police Trainers that have preceded him since the creation of the full-time position at JCLEC in 2007.
These training courses have involved more than 900 Indonesian and international participants from law enforcement agencies all over the world.
One recently-concluded course, the Interpol Capacity Building Programme on Criminal Intelligence, helped participants enhance their knowledge of investigative techniques and the state of criminal analysis related to counter terrorism efforts in Asia.
This two week course brought together 20 criminal analysts and investigators from eight ASEAN countries, as well as instructors from Canada, the United Nations, the Indonesian National Police, the Australian Federal Police and Interpol.
The course was developed to enhance knowledge of investigative techniques and the state of criminal analysis related to counter-terrorism efforts in Asia.
In addition, the course created a forum where participants could network and share their experiences in the fight against terrorism.
Ambassador Donald Bobiash was on hand for the closing ceremony, which also marked his first visit to JCLEC.
"The fight against terrorism requires the combined effort of all of us to be truly successful. The Government of Canada is proud to partner with Interpol in this training, which we hope would better equip you for your work as intelligence analysts and investigators. This training is but one example of the Government of Canada's commitment to countering terrorism and furthering cooperation in Indonesia and South Asia more broadly." - Ambassador Donald Bobiash
Bobiash was pleased to announce that Canada's partnership with JCLEC and the RCMP placement had been extended until 2015.
By March 2014, Canada will have contributed almost $5 million to Indonesia under the Counter-Terrorism Capacity Building Program.
This program furthers Canada's efforts in combating terrorism in Southeast Asia. The funding will go towards regional law enforcement agencies to conduct counter-terrorism investigations and combat the financing of terrorism.
Canada has been a long term partner and remains a strong supporter of JCLEC and looks forward to continuing this positive relationship for years to come.

Order Accredited University Degree !
100 % Verifiable University Degrees
The education system has been changing with time. Just like there are new trends in every other industry, the education one has not been left behind. One of the most recent trends and evolution of this industry is the introduction of degrees online accredited. These are degrees offered and earned via the internet such that you are able to fully study and do exams online. As absurd as some people may find this it is actually the case and it has been on for a couple of years now. Many have so far pursued degrees online accredited mode of study and most have found it even more appealing than the old traditional mode of study. This however is a fact that has many different factors to thank.
One of the most contributing factors is the fact that all degrees online accredited are offered by fully registered and recognized universities. Everything works just like a normal operational university except for the fact that there is no specific locality for the institution offering the course but rather it being online. All over the world there are many different kinds of degrees online accredited courses some not even known in some countries. However, the presence of these online courses has made it possible for people to access them in their places of residence and this is what makes it even more appealing to many.
There also is that fact that degrees online accredited can be accessed from any country and any place. This means that the many cases of people having to relocate to new countries even when they do not feel like it have been taken care of. One has a choice to study a foreign course in their own country without having to move and this fact comes in handy especially to those with jobs they do not want to lose. One can continue working in their places of work while at the same time they are earning their degrees online accredited. There is absolutely no reason for moving to a new country and this makes it very effective since there are no common problems experienced with moving to a new place such as having to adjust to the style of livelihood while still trying to cope with the new studies.
Saving time is the common goal for the degrees online accredited. This is because one can easily move about between work and their studies without worry of not making it. One has a choice of studying in their free time and at the place of their choosing such as at the comfort of their homes. You do not have to get online during specific times and hence you are able to do better even in your studies as nothing is taking you out of your normal operating method.
Time duration taken for a single course differs very much when comparing traditional mode of study to degrees online accredited mode of study. This is because it takes a person as long as they please in the online study since they have the option of taking classes that rhyme with their ability to comprehend whatever they are taught. This means that you are able to cover a given course with the shortest time you may want unlike in the traditional mode of study where you take as long as the institution you are in requires you to.
There also is the fact that most degrees online accredited are all very affordable open to everyone with an interest in learning or furthering their studies. This is entirely due to the fact they offer very little services the core and mutual ones being tuition and the various resources such as reading materials which you have the chance of choosing. This means that you are able to decide which ones suit you best and which ones you can forego hence making degrees online accredited very convenient.
It is very easy to access any website. All that one requires is a computer and the internet. This means that anyone with an interest in degrees online accredited can get them. All that they have to do is find a good institution offering the particular degree they are interested in and they are good to go. This is why many have it very easy to use this mode of study and why many are actually drawn to it in the first place.
Degrees online accredited are found in very many different ranges. All the degrees found in other institutions are easily accessed making it very convenient and easy since one does not require moving up and down looking for an institution they can get these degrees. It therefore follows that anyone with an interest in any university course has a chance of finding it in any of the many available online institutions. This is the easiest and the most hassle free way to get degrees online accredited and the way most people opt for.

From Start, To Finish
It was a evening for eating with friends.
And, these days, I don't go anywhere empty handed.
So, I took advangtage of my festive mood and decided to whip up some cakes.
Yes, cupcakes.
Being the New Yorker I am, I decided to make Magnolia Bakery's famous recipe. Cliche as they've become, they're a New York treat that's not to be missed.
Mmm...vanilla perfection!
Then addROC and I let them cool and went to town with homemade Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (recipe also care of Magnolia's!)
So much fun, and, so easy.
Go make cupcakes...and make everyone's day, including your own!

I like to think they were a little more moist. I find Magnolia's to be a bit dry, but, tasty. These seemed to go over well, and, I liked them! So, maybe they're better! Ha!

Israel vows to continue settlement expansion

On Wednesday, the Israeli prime minister said, "We will not stop, even for a moment,… developing... the settlement enterprise."
The European Union on December 16 warned Tel Aviv against hurting the talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA) by announcing plans to construct new settler units on occupied Palestinian territories.
The EU's five largest states, Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, also said that Israel would be responsible for failed talks if it planned to announce further settlement construction after the release of Palestinian prisoners at the end of the month.
"New announcements of settlement activity after the third round of prisoner releases at the end of the month might be a fatal blow for the peace process," EU ministers said in a joint statement.
The presence and continued expansion of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine has created a major obstacle for the efforts to establish peace in the Middle East.
The Israeli regime has been under fire from the international community, including its own allies, over its expansionist policies.
However, the Tel Aviv regime defies calls to abandon its illegal settlement activities.
Over half a million Israelis live in more than 120 settlements built since Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds in 1967.
The United Nations and most countries regard the Israeli settlements as illegal because the territories were captured by Israel in a war in 1967 and are thus subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbid construction on occupied lands.

Up on the rooftop of a small building in Santa Monica - lots of sunshine around, only a few clouds, just another perfect California day, with a view clear to the Pacific where the surfers ride - Josh Brolin is smoking a cigarette and sweating. He's sweating because he's an athletic guy and just got back to his office after working out, before heading upstairs and into the heat, to sweat some more. He's smoking because he just can't seem to quit.
"Yeah," he says, holding the damn thing out, considering it and taking another puff. "I'm an idiot."
It's not a point you can argue, of course. On the other hand, he's pretty much full of those kinds of off-slant combinations. Just look at him. The thick, full head of hair at age 44. The strong, square jaw that you just know can take a punch. The panty-dropper lips and wide-open smile. The chin stubble, just right. The bulging muscles beneath a trim, black T-shirt, just right. Almost everything, just right, in a rough-and-tumble, rugged way, which makes it kind of great that he tends to get cast against type, in movies like Oliver Stone's 'W.' (2008, as George Bush) and 'Milk' (2008, as murderer Dan White, which earned him an Oscar nomination), as well as expectedly dead-on, in films like 'No Country for Old Men' (2007, as a doomed cowpoke), 'American Gangster' (2007, as a corrupt narc), and, most recently, 'Gangster Squad,' as a police officer charged with ridding Los Angeles of the Mob, in which he kills everything and anybody that stands in his way, making him both hero and antihero.
But for such a cool-looking, no-nonsense-appearing, action-oriented-seeming guy - he surfs, skydives, motorcycles, races cars, bungee-jumps, all that kind of daredevil stuff - he is, in fact, a class-A nerdo-weirdo. To take just the most glaring example: In his spare time, Brolin likes to write poetry, prose, and plays. Can you imagine? Poetry, prose, and plays! And, truth be told, when it comes to poems, he's written hundreds of them, if not thousands, starting when he was eight, continuing even through the period he was in a hardcore surf gang called the Cito Rats and dabbled in heroin. And if one subject is at the heart of them all, it's his mother, the late Jane Agee, who divorced Brolin's dad, the actor James Brolin, when Josh was 16, crashed into a tree on her son's 27th birthday, and died the next day. He wrote about her before her death; he's written about her since her death. She's on his mind a lot.
"She was a different kind of lady," he says, the gravel and twang in his voice slowly coming out. "She was very extreme, in every kind of way, and sometimes I'll write about extreme situations we were in, like us drinking in a church together, or her pulling a gun on some dude. She was a real character. Her maternal force wasn't typical at all."
And then he doesn't say more about her for a good long while.
He's got other stuff on his mind. Just last night, some wacko kid in Colorado marched into a movie theater and began blasting away, killing 12, injuring 58 (and, in the aftermath, forcing Warner Bros. to push back 'Gangster Squad's' release date so it could come up with an alternative to the existing ending, which featured its own movie-theater massacre). Right now, all Brolin can think about is the tragedy. "I'm just fucking stunned," he says. "I'm beyond blown away. When I woke up to that, I immediately started crying, and the stresses of my life immediately became irrelevant, meaningless confetti. I mean, fucking Christ." He pauses, squinting at the sun. "It's weird, though. I feel a modicum of pain for the perpetrator. What happened to this kid to put him in that position? Is he truly mentally deranged? Was he born that way? Is he a John Wayne Gacy? A Ted Bundy? Is it about abuse? Neglect? An insatiable need for instant gratification? Is it about - you know what I mean? I go through this whole plethora of possibilities."
That he does, and it seems entirely characteristic of him. He's intense like that, and curious. He wants to know what's going on inside, where the normal so often combines with the abnormal to produce the unexpected. He's had to deal with this in his own life, many times. In 2006, for instance, two weeks before filming started on 'No Country for Old Men' - the movie that made him more than just a great character actor - Brolin was zipping around L.A. on his Ducati when he collided with a car, looped through the air, and broke his collarbone, putting himself in the position of having to lie to the Coen brothers about his health in order to keep the job. At the time, his wife, the actress Diane Lane, said to him, "Why do you always make it so difficult for yourself?" as if he brought on the accident himself, like maybe it was no accident at all.
Brolin thinks about this now, the unexpected possibility of that being true. He kind of grimaces. "It does seem that way," is all he can think to say. And he's right. For whatever reason, it really does seem that way.
More or less, Brolin bounced around Hollywood for a solid 20 years before becoming what he is today. During that time, he made approximately one good movie, 1996's 'Flirting With Disaster,' in which he plays a bisexual ATF agent who happily engages the luscious interior curves of Patricia Arquette's armpit with his tongue. He did some decent TV, too, mainly in a western series called 'The Young Riders,' from 1989 to 1992. And he had at least two reasonable chances at stardom. Early on, he was offered a part in 'The Dukes of Hazzard,' but didn't think he could face himself in the mirror if he took the job. Then, in 1986, it was between him and his pal Johnny Depp as to who would get cast in '21 Jump Street.' When Depp answered the call that turned him into a (miserable, depressed, show-hating) 'Tiger Beat' sensation, Brolin had to make do as a sidekick on an ill-fated TV series called 'Private Eye,' after which came a long string of never-seen movies.
All along, he thought he knew what he was doing. He'd spend hours hunkered down over the tea leaves, trying to prognosticate the meaning of this director or that, this co-star or that, this location or that, searching for roles that he thought he could connect with and were meaningful. "I've always wanted to be able to look back on my life and smile," he says. No matter. The breaks just would not come his way. In 1989, he was hired for a part in 'Lonesome Dove' but was fired the next day because of contractual obligations the studio had with Ricky Schroder, who replaced him. "I was devastated. Just devastated, man." At other times, he seemed just a little too intense for the decision-makers to handle. When he auditioned for a part in 'The Fly II,' he fell to the ground and started frothing at the mouth, with spit and drool flopping all over the place. Later, his agent called him and asked, "What did you do?" Brolin replied, "What do you mean, what did I do? In the part, the guy's coming out of a cocoon. He's transmogrifying!" "Well, they were really afraid. I mean, they were scared." And so the role went to Eric Stoltz.
"I don't know, but I just didn't get it," Brolin says. "I mean, I didn't get it, whatever cool was, whatever all that stuff was."
Even so, it's a little strange just how long it took him to hit, especially since he started off with such a bang, when he was only 16, playing the jock older brother in 1985's 'The Goonies'. It was a smash, he was a smash, great things were predicted, he was on his way. For his stellar 'Goonies' follow-up, however, he chose something called 'Thrashin',' a mawkish tale of juvenile-delinquent skateboarders, which must have looked good on paper, but onscreen, well, when Brolin first saw it, he wept openly – that's how bad he thought it was. He was then offered a part in 'Back to the Beach,' a comeback vehicle for Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, but the former Cito Rat turned up his nose, much to the dismay of his agents at ICM, who went ballistic: "You're lucky you're even here! You just got lucky with 'The Goonies!' You're an idiot! It makes no sense! This'll put you on the map!" Instead, still smarting from the 'Thrashin'' debacle, he packed up and headed to Rochester, New York, where he joined forces with the great Anthony Zerbe and spent part of five years acting in and directing plays – plays! – while cutting quite the flamboyant Hollywood-transplant figure in orange corduroys and red cowboy boots, with his long, dark hair pulled up into groovy knots both top and bottom. He eventually returned to Los Angeles, hoping for bigger and better, but instead found himself putting on makeup to do battle with giant, mutant cockroaches and, worse yet, with invisible men played by Kevin Bacon, all of which eventually led him to halfway throw in the towel on acting – he wasn't unhappy, he was just frustrated – and turn to the stock market, where he became a whiz-kid day trader, working the mystical side of the business, looking at numbers and charts and successfully divining the future from the squiggles, in a way that he couldn't with the squiggles of a script. Then director Robert Rodriguez hauled him back in with 2007's 'Grindhouse,' playing a bad doctor turned bad zombie in the double feature's 'Planet Terror' segment, and by year's end, after the release of 'No Country,' he was in hot demand. "I think that once upon a time, you had somebody saying, 'Hire me, but don't fucking hire me because I'm handsome or the son of James Brolin,'" says Sean Penn, his 'Gangster Squad' co-star. "I think there's a lot of healthy rebellion in Josh. I also think a very healthy part of him just doesn't give a shit, so that when something comes along that makes sense, he hasn't used up his give-a-shit, and on the job, he's like a monster. His focus and commitment are extreme." In the past three years alone, Brolin has appeared in more than his fair share of movies, a few of them dogs ('Jonah Hex'), a few of them great ('True Grit,' 'Men in Black 3'). And now he's got 'Gangster Squad,' with a star-crammed cast that includes Penn and Ryan Gosling.
"Yeah, well," Brolin says, working up to his review of the movie and taking his time. Finally, he says, "'Gangster Squad' is very different from what I thought it was going to be. But now I feel like, wow, there's a reason why I love those old Clint Eastwood movies. It's a cheese that doesn't exist anymore. It's lost cheese. I'm a little too honest about this stuff, but I'll find what I like in a movie and promote the shit out of it. I mean, not every movie has to be an artistic revelation. And I definitely like the cheesiness of this movie in that Clint Eastwood, you know, realm."
A little too honest, perhaps, but it's beginning to seem like that's just how he is. There'll be no preemptive buttoning of the lips here. Ask him what the first thing on his mind was this morning, before he heard about the Colorado shooting, and he'll say, "You wanna hear honestly?" and then he'll say, "I was thinking about the concept of God. I've been getting on my knees a lot lately – as I have in the past – and thinking about the whole humbling factor of getting on your knees, and I go back and forth, thinking I'm full of shit about this, like I'm trying to trick my intellect into tapping into a source that I don't know exists for sure or not. And then I started having this conversation like I'd be having with you, and then I felt more connected to whatever that idea of God is than I've ever felt in my life. I was thinking, 'What is that for me, this concept of God or energy or whatever that is? And is that real or not?'"
He kind of grins here, letting you know that he knows how this sounds. But the great thing is, he's willing to go with it. He's willing to open himself up to possible ridicule, when he could have played it safe and led with what else happened when he first awoke. His wife of nine years started telling him about the dream she'd just had. He said, "OK, you had a dream. I know." She said, "What? You don't want to hear my dream?" He said, "No, it's not that I don't want to hear your dream, but it's just like every morning is about the dream. I know. We all dream. I get it. But if you tell me your dream, and I tell you my dream, half the day is gone." She looked at him and said, "You're my husband and you don't want to hear my dream?"
And right then, it could have all gone downhill, the way it did back in 2004, when he'd been dancing at a party and told his wife that he wasn't much of a dancer and she'd had the temerity to agree, which, in his somewhat inebriated state, really pissed him off, so he started bellowing, and she said, "Oh, yeah? Yeah? Wanna puff up? Watch this!" and she called the cops, mentioning domestic abuse, which was a mistake to mention, because once that comes up, somebody's got to be hauled off to jail, and Brolin was, and then the press got a hold of it, and it became this whole big horrible, embarrassing thing.
But they'd learned their lesson, and that's not how it was going to go this morning.
Brolin said to his wife, "Now you're scaring me. I don't want to go further. I apologize. Tell me your dream."
Which would have been a pretty sweet story to tell first. But that's not the Brolin way. Instead, he went more far out. He went with God.
When Brolin isn't working, what he likes to do most is go surfing. He grew up surfing and was once a pretty decent contest surfer. Sometimes he'll take out a short board and slash and hack like the kids do, but usually he prefers the classier moves you can do on a longboard, hanging nonchalant on a long right like Miki Dora used to do. Not long ago, he bought a small piece of land in an extremely private and exclusive community up the California coast, just so he could gain access to its fabled point-break rights. "It was a childhood dream to own a place there," he says, "and that's where I'll go by myself and just spend time." In the L.A. area, he most often frequents Zuma Beach and Malibu, where he'll hang out with the big dogs at Third Point, often in the company of Jordan Tappis, an ex-pro surfer whose presence in the lineup ensures that Brolin doesn't get hassled. "Yeah, as long as I'm with him," says Brolin, "I'm pretty taken care of."
He also likes to hop in his big black Dodge Ram 4x4, get his "little rat dog Milo" situated on the center console, and spend the next three and a half hours driving north on the I-5, holding his own among all the 18-wheelers and Mack trucks. Along the way, if he's got ideas for a poem or prose piece, he'll dictate them into his cellphone. The time passes like nothing. He's going home. Home is not L.A. He's got a house there, a very small one on a 6,000-square-foot lot, bought 11 years ago when times weren't so flush, where he raised his kids, Trevor, 24, and Eden, 19, from an early marriage to actress Alice Adair. It's where Diane now cooks him her favorite dishes. ("She makes a mean steak and mean mashed potatoes and mean fried chicken.") But that's not home. Home is where he's heading.Chimpanzees, gorillas, coyotes, mountain lions, pumas, cheetahs, wolves, tigers, and at least one bear – these were the kinds of animals that Brolin grew up with, on a 100-acre ranch in Paso Robles, not far from the I-5 on California's central coast. His mom was a former aspiring actress and casting agent who worked for the state's Department of Fish and Game and took in rescued, illegally owned wild animals. "She had this uncanny relationship with animals," says Brolin. "She'd confront these 500-pound silverbacks that would just crumble. Very irresponsibly, she had us do chores around the animals as six-year-olds. But she was like, 'We're here for a short time, so let's do it.' She was a hard lady. We had five minutes to learn how to read. But I liked who she was and what she represented."
Brolin's father was often away making TV shows like 'Marcus Welby' or movies like 'The Amityville Horror,' and he seems to have had little influence on the boy. His mom, meanwhile, was thin, short, and restless. She liked to drive. She drove 65,000 miles a year, just because. Sometimes, she'd rouse Josh and his younger brother, Jess, in the middle of the night and say, "Get up! Get in the car!" and they'd leave, for Texas, New Orleans, wherever, with her jawboning on the CB radio using the handle Cat Woman, out on the prowl.
"My mother was a 5-foot-2 Texan with the voice of a bullfrog," Brolin says later on, laughing. "She was involved in a pyramid scheme, the big 1980 one, and was one of the top five winners. I was 11, maybe 12. At one point, she had 12 pyramids running, and I was the counter. I counted the money as it came in, in bags. The people who lost money in the scheme put her on a hit list. She kept a 9mm on her bedside table."
Lots of famous people came to hang out at the ranch, mostly country-western singers like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Tanya Tucker, and Johnny Cash. Jane didn't care much for actors or for the acting profession. She thought it was less than manly, which Josh picked up on; for years, when people asked him what he did for a living, he would be embarrassed to say. Even now, after he has been on a roll since 2007, he says odd things like, "I spent many years not rolling. It's important for me to keep in mind not to have any shame about rolling. Rolling's OK, you know?"
His parents moved the family to Montecito, near Santa Barbara, when Josh was 11, and got divorced five years later. (He inherited the Paso Robles farm after his mother died, had to sell it during the lean years, and was able to buy it back two years ago.) His father left for L.A., where he eventually married Barbra Streisand, while his mom stayed put. Josh was deeply into the punk scene, had a frosted-tip miles-high Mohawk known as a peacock, played drums in a local garage band, went surfing every morning, and became part of that Cito Rats surf gang, which patrolled the waters at local surf breaks like Dorbo Dunes, Chicken Creek, and Butterfly Beach to keep outsiders away. He got into petty theft. "I stole a lot of radios from cars," he says, with great lingering pride. "I could pop the deal with a coat hanger real easy. I got very good at it. I can still do it today. I could do it like that." He snaps his fingers. "What'd I spend the money on? Drums and drugs. What else was there?" For a short while, heroin was the drug of choice. "My friend Mike OD'd many times. I was there once when my buddy had to stick a frozen fish up his ass in order to revive him. Gnarly. Anyway, I was the last guy to get into heroin – I smoked it – and the first to get out. I was around 16 or 17, so it was around the time of 'The Goonies'. But I liked working and learning, so it was very difficult for me to lend myself to that drug completely."
In certain ways, he was a strange kid, especially in his younger years. At the age of 12, for instance, he started working at a restaurant and saving what he earned so that he could pay his own way to see a therapist. "I always felt this knot in my stomach, and I wanted to find out what it was," he says. "People look at me now and go, 'Oh, you must have been the Tasmanian Devil when you were young.' Actually, it was the opposite. I was really nice. I shook a lot. I mean, I spent so much time caring how
I was perceived that it made me shake. Oh, I had horrible shakes, horrible. When I would be nervous at all. I still get them sometimes, but I just don't care anymore.
"I was shy and got scared easily," he goes on. "It stopped the day these two kids, Danny and Kurt, put wood shavings in my hair during shop class. I remember thinking, 'If I don't do anything right now, that's it, that's gonna be the rest of my life.' So I got up and, shakingly, I fought. And I did well. I learned at that point that I had an ability to see what was coming. If somebody threw a punch, things slowed down, and I remember thinking, 'Wow, he doesn't know he's doing this' or 'He's a little lost right now. I can get six punches in. I've won. I've already won.'"
He stretches out and leans forward. "After that, a major switch happened: I started presenting myself as an intimidator. I was a goon."
And he stayed a goon, getting multiple tattoos to prove it, until he was 20, when he got married, had his two kids, and found himself having to clean up his act to be a good father – and it was an act that
by then had already gotten him into serious trouble.
"When I was 19," he says, "a fight broke out, and when the police came, I fought the police. I was pretty drunk. To this day, I have no idea what the fight was about.
I woke up in jail. The police were very angry with me. Very angry. They kicked my ass really well. I was looking at a long time in prison. So, basically, I put everything I had – everything I had earned from a TV series I did – into lawyers. I did a little bit of jail time. Not much, but a little bit."
And how did his mom react?
He laughs and snorts. "My mom would rather have that guy than –"
Than the shivering you?
"Yeah," he says, his head tilted. "That was kind of the way she grew up. My mom enjoyed my, you know –"
The sun is so brilliant and hot now it'll put blisters on your skin even if you hide in the shadows. Brolin is wearing sunscreen, 60 or 70 SPF, to keep his skin as pasty as possible, as befits the character in the movie he's about to shoot, 'Oldboy,' a remake of the classic Korean revenge thriller. By tomorrow, however, the right side of his face will look like it took a beating from Mike Tyson, and the pain will be intense, and he will deeply regret all these hours outside. But for now he's OK. He lights yet another cigarette, and the way he smokes cigarettes, he smokes them all the way down to the filter. There will be no namby-pamby guilt-induced early extinguishing of a cigarette here.
Just then, Brolin's assistant arrives with a few sandwiches. Brolin digs in, then looks up expectantly, typically curious about what will next come his way – high-brow, low-brow, smart, stupid, ridiculous, he doesn't really seem to care, even if it's while he's eating.
So, how old was he when he lost his virginity? Does he remember the girl's name?
"I was 11. Her name was Gretel. She was a great girl to lose my virginity to. Really great. And it was right next to Jason, by the way, my best friend, who was with – I can't remember, I think he was with Teri."
"Yes, 11."
Any phobias?
"Most people are smart, where they go, 'I'm scared of heights so I don't go high.' I've always taken phobias and go, 'I gotta go jump out of an airplane! I have to go bungee jumping!' It's just dumb."
What's a TV show he and his wife like to watch together?
"'America's Funniest Home Videos'. We laugh our asses off. Love it!"
If he were a breakfast cereal, what cereal would he be?
"Oh, my God, how lame a question is that?"
Incredibly lame. What is the central problem of existence?
He takes a long breath. "Getting out of your own way."
Has he ever been asked to get his teeth whitened?
"Well, it wasn't necessarily about white teeth. It was the fact that I had this tooth that'd died and turned black. My agent wasn't happy about it and thought it was one reason why I wasn't getting roles. He asked me to get it fixed. I refused. And then one day I looked at my fucking tooth in the mirror and decided to get it pulled."
Recurring nightmares?
He frowns, nods. "They had to do with numbers, always had to do with half the number it started out with. One was of a ship, and the ship cracked in half right in the middle, and I woke up freaking out, and I was, you know, a different person for, like, 20 minutes or something."
And then for a moment there's nothing left to ask and nothing left to say. There's only all this stuff out there to think about in the heat: the cracked ship, the different person, the fiendish smoking, all those poems, the 20 years happily spent while not becoming a star, the 'Thrashin'' performance that caused him to skip town, the 'Fly' audition with him frothing on the floor, the black tooth that he refused to fix, the shame in being on a roll, the surfing, bungee jumping, and car racing, the Tasmanian Devil reputation, the inability to stay out of his own way, the calling of his current movie "cheese," the shy, shivering boy of his youth, the teenage goon who smoked heroin, the man who gets down on his knees and has questions about God. That's a lot to piece together. It hurts the brain. Maybe it's best not to try to make sense of it and just let it go.
How does he process the fact that his mother's car crash happened on his birthday?
"Um [long pause], you know [long pause], it, uh [long pause], you know, it's too [long pause]...." He rocks back, looking stricken, and combs his fingers through his hair. "I mean, the odds, man. What are the fucking odds? It just doesn't happen. It just doesn't happen. It just doesn't happen."
No, it doesn't. But, sadly, it did.
"My father thinks she was avoiding a deer. But she was a drinker, and she'd pulled a .22 rifle on her boyfriend that night and went after him, and I think she was reaching for her cellphone and overcompensated."
Did he speak to her that day?
"Yeah, man!" But then he remembers. "I did not speak to her that day. I did not. On my birthday, I always called her and sent her flowers, saying, 'Thanks for this life.' I'd sent her flowers that day, but I hadn't called yet – I was in New York, the day wasn't over – so she called me and got my answering machine with a trick message on it that was like, 'Oh, hey, what's up? I can't hear you very well. Who is this?' And she started laughing hysterically. That's the last I heard from my mom. Four hours later, she was dead." He shifts around. "Yes, I still have the message. It's in storage. I put it away after a while, because I was listening to it too much. I adored her. I miss her terribly."
He grabs his pack of cigarettes and stands.
"For two years after that, I was lost and just spinning," he says. Clutching that cigarette pack, with his back to the sun, he says, "You know what it is? It all comes down to a look she once gave me. I was in jail, and she came to see me. I was walking down a hallway, and when I got to her, I saw a little smile. That was it. Her love for me was hugely, hugely conditional, so it all comes down to that moment and me spending all my days trying to re-create that moment, putting myself in positions of self-destruction. I succumbed to that. And the truth is, although my mom being around was fantastic, after her death, I didn't have to live up to that anymore. I was liberated. I matured."
There it is. He's said it, and he looks relieved to have said it. So much is made sense of, so much explained, although his liberated-and-matured declaration seems perhaps more hopeful than accurate, given that 18 years after his mom's death, while he's no longer stealing radios and getting arrested for brawling with cops for no good reason, he's still doing stuff like riding his motorcycle into a collision two weeks before starting the most important job of his life and having his wife say to him, "Why do you always make it so hard for yourself?" It's the word "always" in that question that brings it all home, as if Cat Woman lives and somewhere she is still on the prowl.

Biography Updated on 2 December 2012


text: We were up early again and having breakfast at 7:30am. Today was quite misty and the park looked quite spooky for a few hours. We headed straight to Fantasyland and rode Peter Pan followed by Pinnochio. Then we went over to ride Buzz (my mum beat my dad again!) and Space Mountain. By then it was 9am so we went to Salon Mickey again for a coffee and to warm up (it was very cold this morning, a theme for the rest of the day!!) After rope drop we headed into Adventureland. We went around Aladdins passage. and then over to Phantom Manor which looked spooky in the mist. Then we did a lap of the lake on the Molly Brown. Next we decided to go over to the studios to see Anamagique which we hadn't caught the day before. It was soon lunch time and we were getting cold and ready for a break. So we decided to head back to the hotel and have lunch at Cafe Fantasia. We had warm sandwiches, cakes and hot chocolate. We then decided an afternoon nap was in order (a late night follwed by EE had caught up on us!) After our nap we headed back into the park to catch the 3:15 Lion King show. I know many people love this show, and I love musical theatre but I actually thought this show was not as good as I had expected it to be. I think I had been spoilt by the Aladdin show in Disneyland which is amazing, plus maybe the cast were having a little off show. The movements, dance, actions, vocals etc just seemed a little flat to me. It didn't seem to have the energy I expected it to have. After the show we headed to Main Street to get a spot for the parade. Iw as glad I had brought a blanket from the hotel room to sit on whilst we waited as it was so cold. The Halloween pre-parade was cute and the pumpkin people stopped right by us to dance. Then we watched the Parade of Dreams which I really liked. By now we were very cold and we needed to get ready for dinner at Inventions so we headed back to the hotel. We went to Inventions at 7pm and had a great meal. We saw lots of characters, Donald Duck, Goofy, Tigger, Eeyore, Chip, Dale, Aviator McDuck and Gipetto. Goofy was very funny, when DH and I went for deserts he took DH's plate of cakes, patted DH's tummy, pointed to the fruit and gave him a pear instead! Then he did DH's cakes!! Dale had to rescue them for him!! lol Chip was also quite mischevious, he looked at the wine we were drinking, then tried to steal my glass for a drink!! After our meal we headed back into the park as I wanted to take some night time pictures. I love the lighting under the entrance to Adventureland I also took a few Main Street shots and some castle shots Then back up Main Street Then I headed out to the front to take a few more pictures. By now it was getting late and we were shattered so it was off to bed!!

School Groups
The Greenkill Outdoor Education Center provides safe and educational programs for students through a holistic approach that tailors each trip to a school's specific needs. Our professional staff meet their students' grade level, learning style and build interest and enthusiasm to effectively teach.
Through guided discovery, communal living, hands on exploration, and engaging their peers, students will build character development and learn the interrelationships that exist socially and in nature.
Our classes are supportive tools for teachers to use as an extension or as a complement to the traditional in-school curriculum. All classes adhere to New York State Department of Education standards and can be easily tailored to meet specific needs of teachers and students.
To share information about our Outdoor Education program with your school administrators or PTA, download our 2017-2018 program flyer below:
We use our 8,000 square foot education building purely as a supplement to our real classroom: the 1,150 acres of diverse flora & fauna, and habitat. We focus on the following program areas:
Character Development
Teamwork and communication are the backbone of all of our programs but, specifically in our challenge education programs. Teambuilding activities provide a catalyst for students to work together to achieve a series of common goals. The seven elements of our High Ropes Course serve to build group support. The Low Ropes Course offers high rope elements on the ground in order to incorporate even more teambuilding. We also have high elements designed specifically for teambuilding. All of these activities are meant to teach about communication, leadership, support for others, and in general group dynamics, all the while building character in the individuals as well as the group.
Environmental Sciences
Hands on exploration of our outdoor classroom allows students to investigate the habitats and organisms within them. Classes offered include water ecology, forest ecology, wildlife studies, geology, ornithology, hikes, tracking, and winter ecology.
Outdoor Skills
One of the first steps in cultivating awareness and appreciation for the natural environment is enjoying and feeling comfortable outdoors. Here is the opportunity for youth, so often removed from the outdoors, to participate in elements that include map & compass, orienteering, survival, mountain hikes, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.
Who We Serve
Located six miles north of the New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania border, Greenkill serves schools and organizations throughout the northeast. Greenkill's curriculum is adaptable for any age and learning style. We serve elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges throughout the year.

Sheriff Dart: 5% of Chicago's Foreclosures DON'T Have Problems
The WaPo has a story on the growing realization that the banksters have been engaging in massive fraud to keep churning out foreclosures. It includes a detail about Chicago Sheriff Thomas Dart's refusal to enforce foreclosures I did not know: that when he had a sample of foreclosures reviewed, he found that only 5% of them had all their paperwork in order.
After reading about problems such as banks "robo-signing" foreclosure documents without verifying their accuracy, Dart asked that attorneys for mortgage companies sign something personally confirming that evictions are justified. None did. So Dart has refused to honor their requests.
In Illinois, Dart said in an interview that, after hearing about improperly prepared paperwork at major lenders, he and his deputies pulled an admittedly unscientific sample of 400 foreclosure cases processed by the courts. He said they found that only 20 of them had the proper paperwork and that the others were missing "very significant" documents.
While not carrying out evictions could land Dart in trouble if a judge decides to bring contempt-of-court charges, he said he thinks his actions have been "just and legal."
"When I have the lending institutions themselves admitting to problems, what are we supposed to do?" Dart said. "All I'm asking them to do is certify that what they are doing is legal. The fact that they are not racing to do this makes the case for us."
One of the biggest problems communicating the problems the deadbeat banksters have introduced through their own shoddy or fraudulent work lies in explaining the scope of the problem. And while the numbers Chicago found may be worse than other places–with a very high population of people of color, after all, it would have been a target for predatory lending–I'm happy using the 5% number a law enforcement officer has provided in the interim.

Sip down!!
This lost quite a bit of maltiness over time. My cup was ok. Nothing special, but decent overall.
That's one thing I'm looking forward to, getting down to a reasonable amount of tea so that it doesn't loose flavour by the time my packet is done!
Sip down!!

Pleasing fungus beetle (family Erotylidae), any of more than 3,500 species of widely distributed, mostly tropical beetles (insect order Coleoptera) that feed on fungi such as mushrooms and are often brightly coloured with orange, red, and black patterns. Pleasing fungus beetles range in size from 3 to 20 mm (0.1 to 0.8 inch). Although most species feed on fungi, some bore into wood and feed on sap, and others bore into and feed on plant stems.

Sir Elton Hercules John will celebrate his 69th birthday Friday, March 25, 2016. The name needs no introduction — with over 50 Top 40 hits, and having sold more than 300 million records in his five-decade career, Sir John is one of the best-selling music artistes in the world.
The English singer and songwriter performed at a sold-out Van Andel Arena recently, and the recital and his extended piano solos at the concert were as impressive as ever. Even at this point in his career, Sir John never fails to give his fans what they best deserve.
On his birthday, we have compiled a list of some interesting facts about this legendary singer and the best songs to celebrate the day.
– Sir John was born as Reginald Kenneth Dwight. He paid tribute to Blues vocalist Long John Baldry and saxophonist Elton Dean, after he named himself after them. His stage name became his legal name in 1967.
– He taught himself how to play a piano. At the age of three he astonished his family by sitting at the piano and playing "The Skater's Waltz" by ear.
– At the age of 11 he was awarded a scholarship as a Junior Exhibitor at the Royal Academy of Music and he attended the Academy on Saturday mornings for the next four years.
– As a child, Sir John didn't need glasses, but wore them anyway to look like Buddy Holly. They damaged his eyes so much that he was soon forced to wear them.
– At one point, he was responsible for 3 per cent of all records sold on the planet.
– Sir John has an enormous wardrobe which comprises regency wigs and Donald Duck costumes, tiaras and corsets, boaters and braces, and loafers and really naff glasses.
– He originally wrote "Candle in the Wind" for Marilyn Monroe, but reworked on it as a tribute to the late Princess Diana.
Here's a list of some of the best Elton John songs you need to listen to on his birthday.
– "Your Song"
– "Sacrifice"
– "Rocket Man"
– "Candle in The Wind"
– "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"
– "Crocodile Rock"
– "Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues"
– "Don't Go Breaking My Heart"
– "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word"
– "Something About the Way You look Tonight"

After seeing this adorable reindeer hairdo at Simple of That I thought it'd be fun to try some holiday hairstyles out on my 11 year old. I searched at the store for products I could use to make my ideas happen and in the end, I kinda like the printable I created a little more. But here are two versions of holly hair:
There are two ways that you can do this hairdo. You can use the template I made and print it out. Or you can get the supplies from the dollar store, a craft store, etc. I think they are both cute looks- just different from each other.
Here are the supplies I used:
For the printable version all you need is: the printable, scissors to cut out, a glue gun and bobby pins. For the other version in addition to the other supplies, you need: red pom poms and green pipe cleaners.
To create the pipe cleaner version I printed out the holly template and used it to trace for the pipe cleaner. I used one pipe cleaner for the leaf part and then one pipe cleaner attached to the bottom to wrap around the bun.
Simply cut out the printable and attach bobby pins with a glue gun. Pull hair into a bun and attach the holly parts in the bun. OR use a glue gun to adhere the bobby pins to the pom poms. Wrap the bun with the holly pipe cleaners on either side and stick the berries in using the bobby pins.
And there you have a fun holiday hairstyle:
Download a holly leaves template. For personal use only. Thank you.

What high-school students find edible and what edibles the federal government finds reimburseable differ substantially. The difference costs the the San Diego Unified School District a substantial million bucks a year.
The first clue why that is so: Although the hot meals the feds deem healthy are free or reduced-price to students eligible by family income and fairly cheap, $2.25, to all other students, the feds reimburse school districts only when a student takes a full meal.
A full meal provides a third of the Daily Recommended Allowances of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories. Doritos and grilled chicken a la carte just don't cut it.
Fewer than a third of students in this district eat reimbursable meals. The rest favor snack food from student stores, salad bars, a single dish from food carts on school premises, lunch from home or no lunch.
The second clue is the easy availability of alternative lunchtime fare.
Third is the time high-school students get for lunch: half an hour, barely enough time to stand in line, take a plate, find a seat and eat.
Fourth, and topping our list, each San Diego high school schedulesits thousands of students for the same half-hour lunch period.
Even with multiple serving lines, that has to be as much a logistical nightmare for cafeteria staff as for students.
So the first step in shifting from $750,000 in the red for unreimbursed meals to $1.2 million in the black seems obvious: stagger lunch periods. Every other district does.
Surprisingly, students object most to that change. They might miss lunch with their friends or a midday club meeting or a tutoring session. They might skip classes to maintain their usual lunchtime appointments.
In the olden days, school officials knew precisely what to do: split lunch periods anyway.
Kids who ditched classes (for whatever reason) would make them up after school, maybe missing club meetings because they too would be scheduled after school. Students who need formal tutoring but have no regular study period during the school day would find time and a tutor before or after.
It isn't as though the district isn't already trying to improve the cafeteria experience.
It may make reimburseable meals more appetizing by adding several student favorites that pass muster with the feds.
It might mimic food courts and install booths, as some colleges do.
Trying to accommodate student preferences into the meal mix makes sense. It means less waste and more money.
Turning a high school cafeteria into a comfy food mall, especially for 30 minutes a kid, does not.

Photon, part of Ophir Photonics, announced NanoScan v2, the newest version of the company's scanning slit beam profiler. NanoScan is a NIST-calibrated laser beam profiler, which uses moving slits to measure beam sizes from microns to centimeters at beam powers from microwatts to kilowatts. The new version adds an enhanced graphical user interface (GUI) with support for the Microsoft Windows ribbon toolbar. Dockable and floatable windows, plus concealable ribbon toolbars, improve display utilization.
"NanoScan is ideal for profiling CO2 beams used in material processing," said Gary Wagner, general manager, Ophir Photonics. "The scanning-slit technology provides the easiest-to-use profiling because it can measure most high power beams without the need for complicated attenuation schemes. Combine that with the new user interface and now users can see their laser beams as never before."
NanoScan v2 supports both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Windows 7. Detector options (silicon, germanium, and pyroelectric technologies) allow measurement at wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the far infrared. It can simultaneously measure multiple beams and offers an optional power meter for scanheads with silicon and germanium detectors.
For more information, visit Ophir Photonics.

Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free Lemon Pudding Cake
This cake divides into 2 layers as it bakes. The upper layer becomes a light cake that covers a rich lemon pudding layer underneath. It is relatively easy to make, but does require a second pan with 1 and 1/2 inches of water for the the baking dish or pan to sit in while it bakes. I use a large stoneware pan so I have purchased a large foil roasting pan that is large enough for it to sit in.
The finished cake can be enjoyed warm from the oven or later after it has cooled in the fridge.
Gluten-Free, Corn-Free Chocolate Fudge Birthday Cake
For birthdays, my children and I enjoy decorating cakes. We add real (non-toxic) flowers and various toys to dress the cakes up. A theme is selected, then we buy our decorations and pick up flowers from the market. Once we are home, the cake is prepared, cooled, iced, and then the fun begins. Inspired, my children proceed with their creation. My family and guests really enjoy the chocolate fudge flavor of this cake combined with the melt in your mouth creamy icing. Enjoy!

The Jesus And Mary Chain Add More US Dates
The Jesus and Mary Chain are one of those 80s bands that everyone with an appreciation for music should at least know about. They've had influence on the shoe-gaze genre, the synth pop genre, the noise pop genre, the indie rock genre, the alternative rock genre; point is, they're an important band. And they have tacked on a bunch more tour dates to their reunion, which began back in 2007. While they played mostly the west coast this year, now they have a bunch of east coast dates so the people over on this side of the United States can get their fix of Jesus, Mary, and the Chain between them. I think.
