An Old Wooden Spoon stirs things up
To the relief of many I imagine, I've decided to start maintaining my blog here at TFL rather than post a new thread in a forum every time I bake somethig I want to post about, be it for success or failure. I will not go back and add old pictures here that are already posted elsewhere, so this will not be a complete history of my baking. That's okay, because some of the earliest should be history, and should be left that way.
Since this is the beginning of my blog, albeit not the beginning of my presence here on The Fresh Loaf, I thought I would start with a very brief introduction. By upbringing I'm a farm boy from way back, having grown up on the small truck farm of my father and his brother. The concept of "made fresh at home" is not new to me, as my mother baked, canned, cooked and preserved enthusiastically throughout my earliest years, out of both love and necessity. Some of my best childhood memories are of wandering out into the peach and cherry orchards around our house to enjoy fresh fruit picked straight from the tree, and of home-baked pies, cakes and cookies from mom's kitchen, made with those same fresh ingredients.
By my teenage years I was baking (mostly cookies) on my own, and after marrying, when the children came along, we bought a Magic Mill and a Bosch mixer and began to bake our own bread for our kids. We still have and use those same appliances today. Back "in the day" we split that duty unequally, and my wife did much of the day-to-day bread baking for several years. Whomever did the baking though always used the machine. We would mill the flower, add the salt, water, yeast, honey and oil, and beat the daisies out of it. Then we shaped, proofed and baked it. It was good, but we really did not know what we were missing.
Although my wife did a lot of the day-to-day baking during those years, I always did a lot of holiday baking. Annually around Thanksgiving I started baking gift breads and treats for friends and family, and I still do that to this day. I have neighbors today who's daughters have almost literally kept annual watch out the front window for my arrival with the Christmas gift loaves! They are now grown and graduated from college, as are our own children today, but they are home for the holidays. This year their mom thanked me for getting her daughters to argue on Christmas day! Seems someone ate the last of the gift bread, and someone else was unhappy about it. Actually, mom said she ate it herself, but did not tell the girls. Instead she just sat in the background like the cat that got the canary and got away with it. She was having too much fun listening to them, since it was all in good natured fun anyway.
Things went on this way for years, with occasional baking for therapy or just to be in the kitchen for a while, which is something I have always loved. Then, one otherwise usual day, something special happened. I was selling off some gardening equipment, and a buyer came to the house to pick it up. We got to talking, and I came to learn that he and his brother were building a wood-fired oven in their shared back yard up in the nearby hills. We talked for some time about ovens and baking, and then he left. The baking bug stayed here though, and I was caught up in the idea that I could also have my own wood fired oven for bread, pizza and whatever. The hunt was on and off I went like a hound after a coon. I made almost as much noise, I think, as I researched, read and talked about baking, WFO's and bread.
Eventually I discovered Alan Scot and Dan Wing, and bought "The Bread Builders". From there I found and bought a La Cloche clay baker and started my own wild yeast sourdough starter. The trials of getting a starter to develop properly led me here to The Fresh Loaf. Here I found the help I needed, offered freely and in good spirit. Here I found others, both experienced and less so. Here I found a community, rich in cultures, varied yet similar in interests, and I have remained, to learn and share what I learn. To participate in a community that has welcomed me, and allowed me to welcome others. I still harbor plans for a wood-fired oven "one of these days", but for now I have settled for my La Cloche, and an oven full of unglazed quarry tiles, and a frequent cruise through the WFO forum threads to keep up with those that have already attained that dream of mine. That will hold me for a while, as I truly learn what it is to become a "baker". It's a great journey, and I hope you check in here from time to time to see how I'm doing.
May your yeast always thrive, and your dough always rise.

This blog is about God's faithfulness and my frailty. It's a place where I ponder how to go about living out God's grace in my daily life as a transplant recipient and mother of three children, at least one of whom has special needs. I hope all who read and follow learn along with me how to treat ourselves gently and extend that same grace to others – especially our husbands and children.

Scared Sleepless
Then we had dinner poolside. C wanted to go back in the water, but we redirected her away from the edge. After everyone finished their dinner, we were getting ready to go and stood with C a few feet from the edge of the pool. She had her floaties off. She got past us and ran into the pool and straight off the edge of the step. She began to sink.
It was just like they say in all the "Signs of Drowning: Not What You Think" articles and videos that have been shared on Facebook and elsewhere lately. She didn't splash or cry out. She was just sinking.
Thankfully DH reacted quickly and got her out seconds after she fell in. Terrified, she clung to me for reassurance. She kept saying, "I didn't like falling in."
At bedtime she was restless, still clinging to me. She would fall asleep but then awake with a startle response or a moan. Once she repeated, "I didn't like falling in," and then it struck me that she might be having flashbacks and bad dreams about the moment she went under.
C has never really been what most would call a "good sleeper", but waking that frequently was out of character for her. Tonight God blessed me with an extra measure of patience and understanding and I didn't lose my temper even though she disturbed my sleep. It probably helped that I knew exactly what was going on.
But there have been times when she sleeps just as poorly that I haven't been so patient, mostly because I couldn't identify a cause at that time. If I tell myself that because I can't see a cause, she must just be "fighting sleep," I get more and more frustrated that she just won't cooperate and go to sleep already!
On those days, I might assume she is "doing it on purpose," because the times she has fallen asleep easily shows that "she knows better." That line of thinking leads me to respond with anger, impatience or even punishment.
But eventually an underlying cause always comes out. She gets sick the next day, or I notice swollen gums indicative of teething, etc.
I was reminded in some reading at Gentle Christian Mothers today to treat misbehavior (especially misbehavior that is a bit "out of character") as a symptom that prompts me to investigate potential underlying cause and then remedy it. The acronymn HALT is a good place to start:
For C, I've found that "Needs to Go Potty" and "Scared" are two others I could add to that list.
So, back to tonight. When I realized how scared she still was, I asked her if she had been having bad dreams. She said yes, and repeated that she didn't like falling in the pool. I got her up and took her potty (just in case that was contributing to the restlessness), and then when we got back in bed, I prayed with her, thanking Jesus for sending Daddy to her rescue and keeping her safe at the pool and asking him to protect her mind from any more bad dreams.
She snuggled up to me and I felt her relax and begin to breathe deeply in a way she hadn't since the incident at the pool. She quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Me, not so much. I'm writing this post at 3 in the morning because I was having trouble sleeping too (some digestive problems, and also I was wound up with adrenaline from the close call and caffeine from all the ice tea I drank poolside).
I'm bound to be tired tomorrow. I can use HALT on myself if I start getting impatient or cranky, and use some self-talk to coach myself through the rough parts of the day and make sure I grab a nap with C to stave off the late afternoon grumpy grouchies.

When my son has trouble falling asleep I talk to him about unconditional love, how beautiful he is, how happy he makes all of us, and how he is safe. I'll talk a little bit about what we will be doing the next day when he wakes up. This little talk gets us through most bedtime issues. I've found that he tends to resist sleep because he feels insecure about something, is worried about the next day (he has visitation and his schedule is treated with less than respect by involved parties).ReplyDelete

Being around cakes all day, I am not easily impressed by desserts. But this French Silk Pie is hands down my favourite dessert. It's great to bring to a dinner party or just to keep in the fridge and indulge on for a few days!
NB. This recipe does contain raw eggs. Personally, I've been eating raw cake batter for years and I am not dead yet, but if you are pregnant, elderly or particularly moany – it's better to avoid and make something else. But you'll be missing out. Seriously.
- For the shortcrust pastry
2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 egg
To decorate
100ml Double cream
50g dark chocolate
- For the filling
115g milk or dark chocolate (I use milk, but whatever you prefer)
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa powder
- Connector.
Make the pie crust
Preheat oven to 180°. Cube the butter and add to flour then rub between fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and egg and smoosh together until a dough forms. If it won't come together, add a little milk. Knead and roll out, then press into a tart dish. Trim off the edges with a sharp knife. I like to make this kind of rugged looking but you can make it as neat or as messy as you like. You can buy a pre-made pie crust if you prefer, but I like the look of a homemade one.
- Connector.
Bake the pie crust
Place some baking paper over the pastry and fill with baking beans, or if you don't have baking beans you can use something like lentils. This weighs down the pastry to stop it from rising in the oven. Bake blind for 15 minutes, then remove the beans and paper and bake for a further 5 minutes. The pie crust should be a light golden colour.
- Connector.
Melt the chocolate
Using a bain-marie or just in the microwave, melt the chocolate gently and then set aside to cool slightly. It needs to be as cool as possible while still melty and pourable.
- Connector.
Prepare the filling
In an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the melted chocolate (you may want to do this bit by hand, not for the sake of the pie, just because it's incredibly satisfying). Add the vanilla and cocoa powder and beat until well combined.
- Connector.
Beat in the eggs
With the mixer on a medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating for 5 full minutes after each egg. Once it's done, you will have a wonderful silky smooth chocolatey mix. Pour it into your pie crust and smooth the top. Place in the fridge to set for two hours.
- Connector.
After the pie has set, if you can resist just shoving the whole thing in your face, you can decorate it. You can do whatever you like here. I had some chocolate ganache lying around and used that, but if you prefer you can melt down some dark chocolate in the microwave and jackson pollock it (fancy term for 'splatter like mad') over the top. Then whip some cream and pipe rosettes round the outside of the pie. If you don't have a star nozzle, you can dollop the cream on instead, it will still look just as good, and sprinkle with some cocoa powder.
Enjoy. If this doesn't become your new favourite I will be amazed!

Although that 2006 law doesn't apply to Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, they too can point to Yoo's memos as justification for ordering torture. In fact, they already have. Bush has said repeatedly that his decisions relied on Department of Justice legal opinions (in other words, Yoo's work). Horton said, however, that Bush and company could be vulnerable because recent revelations have shown that the United States began torturing prisoners before Yoo completed his first torture memo in August 2002. That means top officials may not be able to claim that they relied on it to justify their actions. Those revelations also could expose Yoo to charges of a criminal conspiracy if he wrote the memos in order to justify or cover-up existing crimes. Torture is a war crime in the United States under several laws, including the Convention Against Torture, an international treaty brokered by the Reagan administration.
But Yoo is more vulnerable than Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld because while his legal memos might immunize them, they do not immunize him. Nor is he protected by the 2006 Military Commissions Act. In short, others may have some get-out-of-jail-free cards, but not Yoo. Moreover, arguments that he was merely fulfilling his duty as a government lawyer or that he did not know that his legal opinions would result in torture are undermined by the fact that Nazi lawyers made similar assertions at the Nuremberg trials and lost. In addition, it's clear that Yoo knew he was authorizing torture. After all, he has acknowledged changing the definition of torture to allow harsh techniques that had long been deemed to be torture, and thus illegal, including waterboarding.
So where does that leave UC Berkeley? Boalt Law School Dean Christopher Edley Jr., who was a member of the Obama transition team, has essentially said that Yoo's job is safe unless he's convicted of a crime. But as this newspaper has already reported, Edley is wrong about that. The University of California has previously fired tenured professors who were not convicted of crimes. At the very least, the university should launch a thorough investigation into Yoo, including whether his actions merit disbarment. In addition, any assertion that academic freedom justifies his authorization of war crimes is ethically bankrupt. The university also should report its findings to the public. We all have a right to know why a public university, supported by our tax dollars, allows a man like Yoo to continue to teach constitutional and international law to the next generation of lawyers.
Jerry's War
Jerry Brown was a so-so mayor. But over the past few years, he has turned out to be a pretty good attorney general. Of particular note was his decision late last year to ask the state Supreme Court to overturn Proposition 8, the loathsome anti-gay marriage initiative that won by five percentage points in the November election. Now, Brown is fighting a troubling new battle launched by Prop. 8 proponents — to keep their donor lists secret.
Earlier this month, the Yes on 8 campaign filed suit in federal court, claiming that California's transparency in government law, which requires the public disclosure of campaign donations of more than $100, violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution. It's an unusual case that's being litigated by an Indiana law firm that takes up right-wing Christian causes across the country, from abortion to gay marriage. The suit essentially alleges that California's law violates the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech and assembly.
The suit claims that following the November election, some Yes on 8 donors were harassed and threatened by opponents of the measure who learned their names, addresses, and places of work from campaign finance documents. The California Secretary of State regularly posts campaign donation information online much like other states do. Prop. 8 opponents then used the information to map the locations of people and businesses and launched a series of boycotts. The resulting harassment and threats, the suit alleges, will dissuade donors from contributing to or joining similar political campaigns in the future, thereby chilling their rights to free speech and assembly. The Yes on 8 campaign wants the court to allow it to not reveal its donors by the next filing deadline on January 31, and it wants the court to order Secretary of State Debra Bowen to remove the group's previous filings from the agency's web site and keep them secret.
Ironically, the conservative Christian group is basing much of its argument on a US Supreme Court decision involving a left-wing organization that made similar claims in the past — the Socialist Workers Party. The high court had previously granted the group's request to keep its donors secret after they were harassed and threatened.
But in a filing late last week, Brown pointed out that the legal justifications the high court used in that case don't apply to the Yes on 8 campaign. Brown noted that in the Socialist Workers case, the court ruled that the political party didn't have to abide by Ohio's campaign disclosure law because it was such a small, inconsequential organization that never had a chance of winning a political contest. Consequently, the requirement that the group reveal its donors and thereby expose them to possible harassment could result in the party ceasing to exist. The high court ruled that such an outcome would be a violation of the group's free speech and assembly rights.
But Brown noted that this argument does not apply to the Yes on 8 campaign because it's not a minority party. It garnered more than 7 million votes, raked in nearly $30 million in donations, and won with more than 52 percent of the vote. "Plaintiffs are a large, well-financed, politically successful group that could not be more different than the group," in the Socialist Workers' case, Brown noted in his brief. The attorney general also reminded the court that the purpose of the transparency in government law is to inform the public of who exactly is supporting campaigns and who is receiving money from them.

Norma Muscroft's Dolls
You won't believe how lifelike Norma Muscroft's dolls' houses are, nor how filled with character. I could have sworn I heard their Yorkshire accents and smelt their Woodbines as the two chars stood nattering and smoking under the stairwell, oblivious to the muddy tracks on the linoleum from the bicycle parked behind them.
Upstairs, an old gentleman in a Harris Tweed jacket, monocle in his left eye, was busy reading the newspaper. An eclectic collection of things the old gent had collected on his travels surrounded him: a moose head, a custom-made split cane trout rod, a butterfly collection on the wall and a tiger skin rug on the floor.
Through another window I could see man wearing a beret, painting at an easel. Reclining seductively in front of him was a voluptuous nude model.
Okay, Okay, I haven't lost my marbles and suddenly imagined I'm writing for Voyeur International. What I am doing is giving you brief look into the marvellous world of Norma Muscroft's dolls' houses, which are on display at Searle's Restaurant.
Norma started the collection in England several years ago. "It began after I saw a book on miniatures," she says. "That was what got me hooked." Norma goes on to describe how she bought her first piece for her 50th birthday. It was to become the Main House, the largest in the collection.
The collection of items in the houses is large and every room is wired with miniature lights that really work. Martin also did the skirting boards, the cornices and all the decorations that went into the miniature homes.
It takes no longer than a few moments to begin appreciating Norma's brilliance. She has put real characters and real personalities in all the rooms. This is not just willy-nilly collection of miniature objects, but a superbly thought-out creation that puts life into what is, after all, just a wooden box.
I'd have the story in my head about the people in the rooms, like the old man and his collection, and I'd let my imagination run with it," says Norma. "It necessitated a huge amount of reading about the house interiors of different ages. I also visited stately homes in England to look at details such as the cornices, skirting boards and ceilings." Norma made many friends among other miniature collectors and visited the large collectors' fairs, like one held every year at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.
Everything is perfect down to the smallest detail. And it's in the detail that you see Norma's imagination at work.
For example on one of the houses a roof tile is loose and if you look carefully on the inside, you can see that the wallpaper below it is peeling and there are water stains running down the wall.
Norma and Martin are Greyton residents and kindly agreed to share the pleasure provided by their doll's houses with visitors to Greyton.

Technology / #DCS2016: BBC boss says virtual reality is 'a massive opportunity'
#DCS2016: BBC boss says virtual reality is 'a massive opportunity'
25 January 2016 |
BBC StoryWorks' senior vice president of content has hailed the "massive opportunity" virtual reality (VR) presents for journalism and content marketing.
Speaking to Business Reporter ahead of The Digital Content Summit 2016, Richard Pattinson said that while there is some hesitation over the VR hype after 3D television failed to properly take off, those who have used the technology can see its potential.
"I think anybody who has used it can see this is an extraordinarily powerful tool that is going to be a massive opportunity," Pattinson said of hardware like the Oculus Rift and pointing to some of the existing journalism produced for the platform.
"It brings stories and reporting to life in really compelling ways. It is another opportunity for us to look at the opportunities for reporting and storytelling."
While VR is the next step, the ongoing revolution in content creation is happening on mobile and tablet, which account for around two thirds of the BBC's pageviews.
"It is a much more intimate experience and it alters the relationship between the user and the content," Pattinson said of digital content delivered via mobile and tablet.
The BBC is also working on new formats that better suit the way we use our smartphones.
For example, while most users hold their phone in a portrait position, most video is landscape, which wastes a lot of screen space and "is not a great experience".
To deliver a higher-quality offering, the BBC is developing a service that offers a news bulletin with greater interactivity, featuring video shot in portrait.
"The experience is different," Pattinson said, comparing it to television news. "You can interact and go to a longer read. There is much more opportunity to put the user in control."
But not every organisation has the budget to develop its own content platforms.
When working with limited resources, Pattinson said firms need to carefully consider who their audience is and where they are likely to come into contact with their output.
"They need to think about who they are wanting to reach," he said.
For example, if a firm's target audience is very active on Facebook, it might produce video clips with enthralling introductions to entice users to stop scrolling and watch more.
"If you are posting content on Facebook you have to think about how people find that and how it grabs their attention," Pattinson said.
"If you do not capture someone's imagination in the first few seconds, you have lost them."
But whatever the budget and whatever the platform, the key is for firms to think about their audiences and use the analytics and information at hand to create the best content possible.
For the BBC, this includes analysing data about how users find the content, how they are consuming it, where they are geographically, which devices they use and what mood they are in.
"We think incredibly carefully about it," Pattinson explained. "There is an enormous number of things we have to consider."
The Digital Content Summit 2016 takes place on January 26th at Etc Venues Monument.

NEW YORK -- Manager Terry Collins downplayed a right leg cramp that forced Ronny Cedeno from Saturday's game against the Padres, but it kept the shortstop out of the lineup again Sunday for the series finale at Citi Field.
Cedeno worked an eighth-inning walk in a 9-0 win Saturday, then left the game with the cramp as soon as he reached first base.
Collins said Cedeno still felt soreness a day later, but the decision to keep him out of the lineup was more precautionary. Justin Turner started in Cedeno's stead.

The words of a poem speak the desire, passion, and the vulnerability of the lovers who are feeling the feeling of being in love.

"The National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) joins Twitter...we've said too much already!" tweeted the agency in its inaugural posting earlier on Monday.
The agency was formed late last year by US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper "to effectively integrate and align counterintelligence and security mission areas, and carry out counterintelligence and security responsibilities under a single organizational construct."
In the hours after the agency's inaugural tweet, Pentagon officials said social media feeds for US Central Command had been hacked by people claiming sympathy with the Islamic State militant group being targeted in American bombing raids.
Central Command oversees US military operations in the Middle East. US officials said its Twitter feed and YouTube accounts were suspended after being compromised.
But the world of social media keeps spinning. As of late Monday afternoon, the new NCSC Twitter account had amassed more than 1,200 followers.

The Politics of the Earth provides an excellent and accessible introduction to thinking about the environment by looking at the way people use language on environmental issues. John Dryzek helps make sense of the diverse developments in environmental politics by analyzing the main discourses which have dominated the area during the last three decades, and which are likely to be influential in the future:
Survivalism - based on the contention that the Earth has a limited stock of resources and prescribes drastic, multidimensional action to prevent global disaster, receiving a reply from Prometheans who deny such limits exist.
Environmental Problem Solving - recognizes the existence of ecological problems but views them as tractable within the basic framework of industrial society.
Sustainability - defined by imaginative attempts to dissolve the conflicts between environmental and economic values.
Green Radicalism - rejects the basic structure of industrial society and the way the environment is conceptualized and promotes transformation in human consciousness, economics, and politics.
John Dryzek provides a comprehensive and lively assessment of these various perspectives, their rise and fall, their interaction and impacts, and their strengths and weaknesses. His analysis of these discourses leads up to a concluding argument for a reinvigorated ecological democracy.
The Politics of the Earth offers a new way of classifying and comparing the main strands of environmental politics. It will be fascinating and essential reading for all students of environmental politics and policy, and for anyone with an interest in environmental issues.

Dewey & LeBoeuf is to launch a dispute resolution practice in its Frankfurt office after hiring a counsel from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
Tanja Pfitzner is set to join Dewey as a partner at the start of 2012 after nine years at Freshfields in Frankfurt.
Dewey partner Benedikt von Schorlemer said dispute resolution is an area that has been lacking in the firm's activities in Germany.
He added that the international operations of Dewey have presented a number of opportunities in the past, which the Frankfurt office has been unable to follow through.
The development comes at a time when firms across Europe are becoming more active in litigation.
Pfitzner, who became counsel in 2010, will bring a great deal of experience to Dewey, said von Schorlemer.
"She has a very high reputation in that area. At Freshfields [dispute resolution] is definitely one of the leading German practices," he said. "From her legal skills certainly we have a perfect match."
He added that his team was looking for the right candidate for the firm rather than "a big book of business".
The news follows the arrival of Allen & Overy corporate finance partner Martin Kniehase to Dewey's Frankfurt office in September this year (26 September 2011).
In November 2010 Dewey boosted its Frankfurt office, hiring the head of Weil Gotshal & Manges' German antitrust and regulatory practice Michael Holzhäuser as a partner (15 November 2010).
Dewey lost two of its biggest-hitting German partners in June 2010. Managing partner Hanno Berger and banking partner Kai-Uwe Steck left to set up a tax boutique, taking an eight-strong team with them (4 June 2010).
Von Schorlemer added that the Frankfurt branch is continuing its search for a new member of the corporate practice.

text: Ruth 1:19-21 King James Version (KJV) 19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi? 20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing theLord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? Ruth 1:19-21 The Voice (VOICE) 19 The two women went on together to Bethlehem. News of their arrival spread throughout Bethlehem. In fact, the whole community was humming with the report, with the women exclaiming, "Could it really be the same Naomi who left us so long ago?" 20 Naomi: Do not call me Naomi ever again, for I am no longer pleasant. Call me Mara instead, for I am filled with bitterness because the Highest One has treated me bitterly. There is a Hebrew wordplay here from Naomi, "pleasant," to Mara, "bitterness." Even Orpah ("neck") turns her back on Naomi. 21 I left this place full, in spite of the famine, but the Eternal has brought me back empty from a plentiful land. Why would you call me "Pleasant" when the Eternal has testified against me, and the Highest One has brought disaster upon me? The Voice (VOICE) The Voice Bible Copyright © 2012 Thomas Nelson, Inc. The Voice™ translation © 2012 Ecclesia Bible Society All rights reserved. These are my thoughts, please share yours. 19 It had been along time since Naomi had been home so her family was so excited to see her, to see family after a long time or to meet back up with old friends and catch up; this is what was happening here. They did not know Ruth but may have figured out who she was instantly because of her having no sons with her or her husband that she was left of the family. 20 Naomi is blaming the Lord; death is apart of life and God can heal our heart to get thru it. God allowed her to feel this pain, thru Him she would be strong enough to get thru this and He had provided her a friend in Ruth to get thru it. When God allows trouble in our life He provides what we need to get thru it and gives us friends most of the time to help us. 21 She had not returned empty she had her friend Ruth. Sometimes when we are distressed we may say things that hurt those who are close to us and trying to be there for us this can be just a start to push them away. The Lord was not against Naomi, the Lord can be against what we are doing but we being His children then He is never against us but sometimes He has to show though love to get us where we need to be.

What is drift speed.
When a conductor z nt connected to a battery den all the electrons r randomly arranged and wen d potential z applied den all the electrons start moving frm -ve to +ve direction . N in dis flow the electrons ill collide wid fixed protons as a result d velocity ill decrease but due to d potential it ill again gain its lost energy n again start moving . . . . . . . Dis velocity z know as drift velocity
When a conductor is is not connected across a battery or a source of emf ,the electrons are in a state of random motion. As soon as PD is applied across the terminals the electrons get aligned and start moving in the -ve to +ve direction and current flows from +ve to -ve direction.The velocity gained by the electrons after PD is applied is known as Drift Velocity.
The flow of electric current is done in a conductor by drift velocity
Drift speed is the average speed of free electrons in the conductor ,which get drifted by the enfluence of electric field.
Because of the electric and collision forces a conduction electron moves slowly along the conductor or we can say it acquires a drift velocity in the direction opposite to electric field, in addition to its random motion.
Avg velocity of electrons in conductors
The constant velocity of electron on the section of conductor .........that sit

To win bingo games, as in slot machines and lotteries, players must have a great deal of luck. Players buy one or more bingo cards, and these cards have a 5×5 grid of numbers. Players need to fill in their credit cards or cartons (they are known by the two names). Sometimes players have to fill the entire card while sometimes it is just necessary to make a certain pattern.
Should players succeed, they must yell "Bingo" or the name of the pattern that were forming. In the rooms where there are screens showing the numbers drawn and the winner cannot shout "Bingo" or the name of the register before the number has been called. They must wait until the number is called by the appropriate individuals.
Bingo players can play more than two bingo games cartons. Still, the player who wants to play with multiple Bingo cards must have the ability to mark all his Bingo cartons quickly. Some players are so good to make Bingo cards you get to play with fifty cards in a single turn.
Bingo and Charity
This game was allegedly born in Italy. Its direct ancestor is the lottery. As the lottery (to learn about the differences between lottery and bingo, click here), Bingo has been used to raise bowls for charity. For this reason some countries this form of legalized gambling. Bingo is so well accepted in certain countries like the Philippines that can be played in shopping malls.
Of course, as with other forms of gambling, Bingo did not escape the critics. For critics of the game play is still like a sin, knowing that many of its revenues are used for those good causes, calling it black money. Much of the bingo money recollected by governmental powers around the world has a common destiny the objective of being used to help build homes or orphanages. This game also hasn't escaped the online gaming world. Online Bingo is becoming one of the most common casino games around the world.

It'd be hard to pin down exactly what's behind the burgeoning print scene in Cleveland; On the one hand, the obsolescence of analog systems has taken old equipment like letterpress printing machines out of the commercial realm and created an after-market for art studios. But that's certainly not all. At a time when art schools are modifying curriculum for the digital age because that's how the kids get jobs, there's a certain Luddite slacker appeal. But maybe the real motivation comes from the sensual appeal of printmaking: The carving of wood blocks, the scratching of metal plates, the literal burning of screens with light, the rolling and wiping of ink, and — for letter press machines — the hand-set, lead-heavy fact of moveable type.
Whatever you chalk it up to, there's a little revolution going on in a couple of print shops around town. Zygote Press just keeps getting busier and busier, and now comes a group calling itself Artist Books Cleveland, which is a collective of people all about making books one by one, by hand, exploring their physical structure, and how that relates to meaning. And if that weren't enough, there's also the Morgan Art of Papermaking Conservatory (opened in the fall of '08), where they've got not only a whole bunch of print making going on in old factory space, but the actual manufacture of paper, one sheet at a time, by hand.
Brett Hartmann sits on death row, awaiting an April 7 appointment with the lethal injection chamber for the 1997 murder of Winda Snipes. Hartmann has always denied stabbing Snipes over a hundred times and cutting off her hands in a brutal attack that occurred in her Highland Square apartment ("Deadline," March 25).
Strangely, another woman was also murdered in Snipes's bedroom, in apartment #10, just a few years later. In 2000, Rachelle Greenwood was stabbed to death in that room by a man named Scott Henretty. Unlike Hartmann, there was never a question as to Henretty's guilty, as he was caught red-handed, as it were. At the time, many wondered if Henretty, who also lived in the building, could have been the one who murdered Snipes as well. Police dismissed it as a coincidence, stating at the time that when Snipes was killed Henretty didn't live there.
It's anyone's guess why cop cruisers in Cleveland, the largest city fleet in the state, still don't have dash cams to protect officers — and their suspects — from false accusations.
Councilman Zack Reed says he's been trying to get them installed from the time he was chairman of Council's Public Safety Committee six years ago. Though he's no longer in that post due to DUI troubles, the matter still seems to frustrate the current chairman, Councilman Kevin Conwell. Public Safety Director Martin Flask danced around the subject at Council's last Public Safety meeting, saying that priority might be leaning toward the installation of more security cams. But with dash cams costing about $200 per cruiser, Reed doesn't get it.
"Marty Flask and Chief [Mike] McGrath don't want those cams and the question is, 'Why?'" wonders Reed. "Steve Loomis [head of the police union] doesn't have a problem with it. Officers don't seem to have a problem, but when it comes down to somebody saying we're going to use these dollars to put cams in the cars, for some reason, it doesn't get done."
It could be a useful tool — or a coffer-clearing one. Depends.
Do local UFOlogists know too much? According to one local believer, the shadow government sent out its black-ops helicopters to "taunt" an Ohio UFO investigator who lives north of Columbus after he talked about a sighting on the radio a few years back. The intimidated space cadet managed to capture a fleet of the secret choppers on video and now thanks to the magical tubes of the internets (the future is now!) everyone can finally see the proof. Yes, indeed. Those helicopters are ominously black.

Scene's James Renner will be interviewed on Channel 5's "Live at Five" tonight. Reporter Duane Pohlman has found a witness who claims to have seen Dean Runkle with Amy Mihaljevic on the day she disappeared. Renner first identified Runkle as a possible suspect — the most significant new lead in years. The new witness will be revealed on Channel 5 at 11 p.m. Sunday.

Ohio Citizen Action has a big and dirty state to patrol for industrial excrement, right near the bottom in nationwide water- and air-quality rankings. Last fall, its organizational tactics helped convince metal and mining behemoth Eramet to spend $170 million to clean up its Marietta manganese factory. But OCA's Cleveland chapter, one of just three in the state, can handle only one big issue at a time. That's why it's training ordinary citizens to become better activists and observers.
At its next Good Neighbor Campaign training session (9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at CSU's Main Classroom 438), the organization is bringing in pollution-prevention expert Robert Pojasek from Boston to discuss how he's convinced companies to cut emissions and costs. Liz Ilg, the Cleveland chapter's program director, says Pojasek will illustrate how to use a "campaign of conscience to convince plant managers and CEOs that they need to listen to their neighbors."
Dr. Anne Wise will discuss the public-health side of pollution ramifications. Then participants can go home and deal with their problems in a constructive way, says Ilg. "We don't get to work on every issue, and we know that there are so many people out there dealing with different issues in their backyard, so we offer these trainings to deliver to them what we've learned."
The cost is $15, which will pay for breakfast, lunch and all training materials. Two future field trips will build on what attendees have learned, with more hands-on help in researching and organizing. For information, call 216.861.5200 or go to ohiocitizen.org. — Dan Harkins

Someone might like to arrange updates to that page reasonably soon after a press release.
Worth noting, although I don't know whether it can or should be explained at the page:
They seem to have current info on FreeBSD
I know one of the guys that works on DIstroWatch... I'll contact him about it.Thanks for bringing this up, I hadn't even thought about it.
We have been talking to the guys over at distrowatch, and most of the information seems to have been updated now.
Thanks, and a bump – please merge this topic into my umbrella topic that began on the same day:
Your other topic is more tuned for links to articles/reviews of TrueOS. I don't see any need to clutter that thread up with small topics like this where we request that a news site update their info about TrueOS.
Oh, no, please allow me to make decisions about my own topics
Please remember that small, focused topics are a ton more helpful for users to find/read than a few massive topics/threads which discuss lots of various/disparate subjects.If you wish to discuss discourse policies further, please open up a separate thread about that.
Sorry, no; past experiences were appalling.

Spielberg's 'War Horse' Pushed to December 2011, After 'Tintin'
by Alex Billington
October 15, 2010
Source: Deadline
We just updated our 2011 Release Schedule, so I thought it would be appropriate to mention that the release date of Steven Spielberg's War Horse, the first movie he's directed since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, has changed. It was originally set to hit theaters in early August next year, at the end of the summer, but Disney (who's releasing all DreamWorks movies) has pushed it to December 28th, 2011. The interesting thing about that date is that it's only five days after The Adventures of Tintin, co-directed by Spielberg and Peter Jackson, arrives in theaters (on December 23rd), but maybe that's not that big of a deal.
Deadline adds that DreamWorks' Stacey Snider said the studio thought it "felt like a holiday movie" after they screened some early footage of the upcoming World War I set adaptation. I can't agree or disagree yet, having seen no footage myself, but I was looking forward to seeing this in the summer; it's never too soon to release the next new Spielberg movie! That said, maybe this is the best decision, since they think it will play well with holiday crowds, but December 2011 is becoming quite crowded already. Martin Scorsese's Hugo Cabret, Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes sequel, Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible IV, David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake, Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo, and Jason Segel's Muppets movie are all scheduled for release in December of 2011. Damn that looks like it'll be a great month no matter what!
Spielberg's War Horse, based on Michael Morpurgo's novel which also became a stage play, was adapted by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot) and Richard Curtis (Pirate Radio). This follows a young man named Albert (played by newcomer Jeremy Irvine) and his horse, Joey, and how their bond is broken when Joey is sold to the cavalry and sent to the trenches during World War I. Despite being too young to enlist, Albert still heads to France to save his friend. The cast also includes Tom Hiddleston, Emily Watson, David Thewlis and Niels Arestrup. The photos above were taken while shooting in Europe. We'll continue to keep you updated on War Horse!

Calls are being made for double yellow lines to be drawn up around a busy Leyland primary school in a bid to protect children's safety.
Parking around Farington Moss St Paul's CE Primary School, on Croston Road and School Lane, is causing such a concern for residents, that suggestions are being made to prevent parents from parking there at all.
Councillor for the area, Graham Walton, said: "People park on both sides of the road and there is a danger for children and families crossing there.
"A new 20mph speed limit will be in force soon, and we already have a lollypop lady, but there is still cause to have concern."
Lancashire County Council (LCC) has just installed new signs and flashing lights around the school to alert drivers to the new 20mph zone, which will be in force during drop-off and pick-up times.
Rachel Crompton, highways manager for South Ribble at LCC, said: "There have been two recorded collisions in the last five years involving children near St Paul's Primary School.
"Every incident involving a child casualty is looked at most carefully by the police and the county council's traffic officers, but we have not identified any special factors here that make it different to many other primary schools.
"We are now proposing a 20mph speed limit outside the school at school times which is designed to encourage improved driver behaviour and this will certainly help with child safety.
"The signs/flashers outside St Paul's have just been installed and will be properly operational next week."
But she added that double yellow lines would not be introduced.
She said: "The conditions outside school are not suitable for waiting restrictions so we would not look to introduce double yellow lines. However, if people do have concerns, we're happy to look into potential options."
Headteacher Alison Gibson said more now needed to be done now to improve parking in the future.
She said: "I would like to see the county council re-paint the zig-zag lines directly outside the school on Croston Road and School Lane.
"These lines are designed to stop people parking there, but they're starting to fade and they're in a poor state of repair.
"The community police monitor the situation, but it could become an issue if the lines get worse."
After being contacted by the Guardian, LCC sent an engineer to the site and confirmed that although there were 'no immediate safety issues caused by their condition', the zig-zags would be repainted.
The work will be carried out in Spring next year because lines will not stick if they are painted on in damp weather conditions, the council said.

Australia has an eclectic mix of snakes of wondrous variety. From giant tree dwelling pythons in the Tropical Rainforests of the Pacific North East, to small rarely seen blind snakes that live in the earth in the heart of the continent, Australia has it all.
Famed for the strength and array of different venoms that Aussie snakes posses, this often takes centre stage in the eyes of the public, rather than the sheer variety and amazing distribution of snakes around the continent. Snakes are found just about everywhere here, from baking deserts, isolated islands, cool temperate forests and in the Northern tropics. The amazing fact though is if you take a walk in the bush, it's very difficult to actually spot one, let alone get bitten by one.
The famous snakes are those that have the strongest venom of any land snake on earth, yet they very rarely cause any fatalities, especially since antivenin(antivenom) has been invented.
The list of most remembered Australia snakes includes:
Common Brown Snake
All along the eastern coast and inland through arid centre stretching to North Western Australia
King Brown (Mulga Snake)
Virtually all of Australia except Southern Victoria and Tasmania.
Taipan (genus of large Venomous snakes)
Arid and Hot parts of Central and Northern Australia
Death Adder
Virtually all of Australia except Southern Victoria and Tasmania
Australian Copperhead
Temperate South and Eastern Australia. Only Australian snake found above the Mountain snowline in the Australian Alps.
Tiger snake (and variants)
Southern and Coastal Areas of Australia
Red-Bellied Black Snake
Woodlands and even urban areas of Eastern Australia
Virtually all Australian snakes are shy creatures that will do their utmost to keep out of your way, make enough noise and you'll never see a live snake in your life as they'll feel your vibrations and head for cover long before you ever arrive.
If you do come across a snake the thing to do is not try and touch it, there are so many different species of snake and those snakes experience such a wide array of colours and markings that it's very difficult to positively identify a specific species of snake so the best thing to do is leave them all well alone. If you stay still and let the snake go where it wants to go then you'll be in no danger what so ever. If said snake decides it wants to go in your direction either step quietly aside or simple let it glide past you, so long as you don't make any sudden movements it wont treat you as a threat and will pass by harmlessly.

openswan-variable size of key
Hi, all
In manual keying scenario, I can type hexa number into the manual conf file.
However, there are some problem I face into. I want to enter auth/enc key for ESP in the one of linux box, which I copied from my switch's hard codes. However, there are only three specified options available according to the ipsec of linux. e.g. 3des | 3des-md5-96(192 bit, 128 bit) | 3des-sha1-96(192 bit, 160 bit). Is it possible to use varied length of bits for each key since some of algorithm in the switch has large bits like (192 bit, 384 bit)?

The Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American historybrother against brother, North against South. As the war continues to be recreated on computers around the world, one game that stands out among the rest in the genre is Interactive Magic's American Civil War. It pulls you out of the trenches and puts you in the chair of the Commander-in-Chief. If you prefer the big picture approach to military simulations, American Civil War is hard to beat.
American Civil War makes good use of the Windows interface. Pull-down menus, pop-up windows, and visual pushbuttons mean you rarely need to touch the keyboard. The Main Map screen, where you order your subordinates around, is a traditional 2-D, top-down view. Unit graphics are functional, but the terrain shows a little more color and style. Everything on the interface is accessible, although the inclusion of shortcut keys would help speed things up a bit.
The sound effects for American Civil War are average. Several tracks of CD-audio give you the opportunity to sing along with Battle Hymn of the Republic as you march on the enemy capital. On the other hand, the only other sound in the game is a canned sample of rifle combat. Following a half-hearted attempt at a tutorial, the manual provides a good number of useful details to keep in mind while you enjoy the music.
The gameplay is where American Civil War shines brightly. In this game's turn-based system, you give the orders and watch your generals obey or disobey or ignore you. As commander, you will probably change generals more often than most people change socks. You also have to maintain the political and economic infrastructure while making your military plans. On a positive note, the computer seems to have the same difficulty with his forces as you undoubtedly will.
American Civil War offers players a chance to run the war from the top. You make plans, give orders, and hope for the best. Good graphics, a good interface, and gameplay that keeps you coming back for more are this product's strengths. Overall, it's a winner.

Forrester Research just released a report discussing the open source CMS software market and identifying two that they should pay attention to: Alfresco and Drupal. Drupal is getting a tremendous amount of love these days and it's not surprising.
The formation of Acquia (think what RedHat is to Linux, Acquia is to Drupal) has given a tremendous amount of credibility and a promise of direction within the platform. Companies like Acquia put a little fear in the open source community that control is being taken away from the community but Acquia has taken the right approach and been smart about its place in the community.

Multi-physics-the great unknown
A large number of engineering applications involve granular material or a particulate phase in combination with a gaseous or liquid phase. Applications for this kind of materials mix can be found in diverse domains such as the pharmaceutical industry, the food and processing industry, energy production or systems biology. Everyday products such as coffee, corn flakes, nuts or fertilizer all depend on this field of knowledge known as multi-physics.

Factories of the future: assembly-line machines do their own 'thinking'
A major consumer of time and money in the manufacturing of aircraft, motor vehicles, electronic equipment and other products is adapting assembly lines to produce different sizes, shapes and styles of such complex items. Work must stop along the line while machines are reconfigured to change how raw materials are cut, holes are drilled, and rivets are punched into place.

Los Angeles, CA (PressExposure) June 10, 2009 -- Statistics show that ear infections are the number one reason why dog owners go to the vet. It often takes multiple visits to eliminate the problem which is not only frustrating for both dog and owner but itâs also very expensive.
The best way to prevent a dogâs ear infection is to start a daily/weekly home cleaning regimen. This not only helps to stop infections before they start but it also keeps the owner in tune with the condition of the dogâs ears.
To help dog ownerâs combat ear infections happytails Canine Spa Line launches Ear Aid, a dual-action program that works to clean, deodorize, heal & protect a dogâs ears and to help combat both bacterial and yeast infections. Itâs easy to use, all natural, effective and affordable!
The program consists of two steps. The first is an external cleaning of the ears and the second is a serum that goes into the ear canal to heal delicate tissue and protect from bacteria and yeast infections.
Step 1-Clean & Deodorize- Pre-moistened and alcohol- free Ear Wipes gently help to remove residue, odor and cleanse and dogâs ears. Ear Wipes are infused with all-natural herbs and botanicals that clean away wax and debris while colloidal silver inhibits bacterial growth. Pure lavender essential oil leaves the area smelling refreshed and healthy.
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Water, Glycerin, Colloidal Silver, Propanediol, Echinacea Angustifolia Extract,Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract, Larrea Mexicana Extract, Althaea Officinalis Root Extract,Verbuscum Thapsus Extract,Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil,Decyl Glucoside ,Citric Acid,Potassium Sorbate,Benzoic Acid,
Step 2- Heal & Protect Antibacterial/antimicrobial Ear Clear serum contains organic comfrey and calendula to help soothe, heal and protect while arnica and chaparral oils help to decrease the pain and discomfort caused by swelling. With the easy to use, no mess applicator apply Ear Clear in your dogâs ear canal to treat against bacterial and yeast infections and mites. The extra lubrication in the ear will not only break down wax build-up but will help dispel of any objects lodged in the ear, like fox tails or grass awns.

No doubt about it, Hearst Corp. has been busy hiring, promoting and bringing on new people. Abigail Pesta moved from deputy director to editor-at-large for Marie Claire last month, four executives joined the board of directors in October and former investment banker Mitchell Scherzer was appointed as a new VP and CFO of the company in early November.
So it's no surprise that the company, which did make some cuts this year along with everyone else, is continuing to hire from within. Today, Hearst announced that Sophia Stuart — who most recently worked as executive director for mobile content for Hearst Magazines Digital Media — would be moving on up to executive director of digital content for Hearst Magazines International.
Says Stuart, "I have enjoyed my time working with Hearst's domestic magazine brands on mobile expansion, and look forward to working with [HMI's president and CEO Duncan Edwards] and his team to bring new ideas and relationships to our many magazine partnerships internationally. There's enormous potential in the digital space and I hope to be able to leverage those opportunities."
Full press release after the jump.
Previously: Hearst Names Investment Banker New CFO, We Hear: Layoffs at Good Housekeeping, Hearst To Cut Permalancers
NEW YORK, December 15, 2009 — Sophia Stuart has been named executive director, digital for Hearst Magazines International (HMI), a unit of Hearst Magazines, it was announced today by Duncan Edwards, HMI's president and CEO. Stuart joins the international unit from Hearst Magazines Digital Media where, as executive director, mobile, she had been leading the magazine company's entry into the mobile market. In her new role, she will be working with Hearst Magazines International's network of partners on a range of digital initiatives. Stuart will assume her new role on January 5, 2010, and will report directly to Edwards.
Commenting on the appointment, Edwards said, "Hearst has been very successful in building a worldwide presence for its magazine brands over the last 20 years through a mix of licensing and joint ventures. We publish more than 200 magazines in more than 100 countries around the world, led by Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar and Esquire. It has become increasingly clear to us that we have a significant opportunity to harness the power of these great brands in their various digital forms to provide new revenue streams for our partners and ourselves. Sophia is ideally suited to help us achieve this; she is a consummate business development professional with many years of experience in the digital world. Her understanding of these opportunities, together with her deep knowledge of our brands, makes her an outstanding addition to our team."
Before joining Hearst Magazines Digital Media in 2006, Stuart spent five years in California directing a range of digital projects, including online, 3-D animation, motion capture and mobile applications for clients including New Line Cinema, 20th Century Fox and Neven Vision (now part of Google's mobile operations). Prior to that, she led digital media ventures for Hearst's U.K. operations (The National Magazine Company Ltd.) from 1999 to 2001.
"I'm thrilled to be joining Hearst Magazines International to help expand our digital initiatives around the world," Stuart said. "I have enjoyed my time working with Hearst's domestic magazine brands on mobile expansion, and look forward to working with Duncan and his team to bring new ideas and relationships to our many magazine partnerships internationally. There's enormous potential in the digital space and I hope to be able to leverage those opportunities."
