Chapman's fate has yet to be decided
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
There appear to be three choices: Chapman can be the fifth starter in the big league rotation, he can be a reliever in the Reds' bullpen or he can be a starter at Triple-A Louisville. No decision has been made, yet.
"We're close," Reds manager Dusty Baker said on Thursday afternoon. "You'll be notified when we make our decision on what's happening. Right now, we don't know. The last time, it was decided kind of for us [in 2010], you know what I mean?"
The last time the Reds were on the fence like this with Chapman was two springs ago. But he suffered a back injury late in camp and wound up starting the season as a starter at Louisville.
The Reds have split-squad games on Saturday and have both Chapman and the other fifth starter candidate, Homer Bailey, making starts. Chapman will face the Padres in Peoria, while Bailey will get the Giants in Goodyear.
In three big league exhibition games, including two starts, Chapman has a 2.57 ERA with one walk and seven strikeouts in seven innings. While pitching in a Minor League game on Monday, he gave up two runs and four hits over 2 1/3 innings, with two walks and four strikeouts.
Madson will not pitch on Friday
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- It appears that Reds closer Ryan Madson has suffered a setback as he tries to return from an elbow injury.
Madson will not pitch in a Minor League game on Friday as scheduled, according to Reds manager Dusty Baker. He would not reveal the nature of the setback.
"I don't have any answers for you, right now," Baker said after the Reds' 6-2 win over the Rangers on Thursday night.
Madson, who was signed to a one-year, $8.5 million contract as a free agent in January, has missed every game this spring because of right elbow irritation. The injury was not considered serious.
In recent days, Madson has made progress with side bullpen sessions. On Tuesday, he threw 20 pitches over one inning in a simulated game against Reds hitters without issue.
If Madson is not able to open the season with the club, the Reds could turn to left-hander Sean Marshall to close games.
Votto, Phillips get extra day off
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Most of the Reds re-convened on Thursday afternoon at the team complex following Wednesday's lone scheduled off-day. Two regulars, first baseman Joey Votto and second baseman Brandon Phillips, were given an extra day off. Neither player was present at the complex.
"I give them all a day to pick when you'd rather not be here, a mental day," said Reds manager Dusty Baker, who noted that other regulars would be afforded similar breaks in the coming days.
With Votto away, Juan Francisco -- normally a third baseman -- was given a look at first base. Wilson Valdez started at second base.
Cincinnati has had most of its players in camp since it opened on Feb. 19, but several were early arrivals.
"That's a long time before you get a day off," said Baker, who spent his time off fishing. "Usually, we have it in the middle of the month. This is probably one of the latest [times] I've had a day off. The good thing is, it's like a day and a half off because of the night game [on Thursday]. It's wonderful."
Worth noting
When the Reds face the Padres on Friday night, they will be facing ex-teammate Edinson Volquez. Cincinnati traded Volquez and three prospects in December for starting pitcher Mat Latos.

I've got some hanging baskets with spring flowering pansies in them and someone mentioned that we're in for some cold weather at the weekend with snow in parts. I've looked on the internet but opinions seem to differ and I wondered if anyone out there could give me any advice. I don't want them to die but on the other hand I don't always get to see the weather forecast and could get caught out at a later date.
Will Spring Flowering Pansies survive frost or snow?
I think it always depends on how cold and how long the cold is going to stay around. If the freeze is at night and only stays below 32º for an hour or so, you will be fine. My pansies have survived more than that and are in full bloom right now.
Reply:We had some snow here in the Dallas area a week ago. All of the pansies survived with no problems.
Reply:Survive snow, yes. Survive frost (if it's heavy), probably not. Surprisingly, snow will protect your flowers from getting killed by a hard freeze. It acts as a blanket. But if the forecast is for well-below freezing with winds, the flowers may be damaged. You can protect them by putting an old towel over them overnight.
Reply:Pansies get flattened by frosty weather,but they perk up again when its over making a new set of flowers.In the very cold eastern american seaboard they could pop their clogs though.In most of the UK its okay
Reply:As far as I can tell Pansie is a terrible name to call someone you think is weak. Pansies in zone seven thrive even through the cold snaps we have here. For example: It was 70 degrees 2 weeks ago on Sunday, snowed all day Thursday and was 50 again on Friday. It only got down to like 28 that time but it's known to get down in the teens. Pansies are strong plants and can handle way more than you think. And even if there laying flat on the ground from some bad weather most of the time they will get back up and go again.
Reply:yes but if they don't(they are just a bunch of pansies)

Re: Surname Connection to TABAR
In reply to:
Surname Connection to TABAR
Harold Tabar 7/20/07
I have been searching for information about a woman born in June 1828 named Anna Alberscheid. On census records she states she was born either in Baden or Westphalia but the family had thought she was Alsatian. She was in the US by 1852 and lived in Cleveland, Ohio. Family stories indicate she was married a first time to an unidentified husband. By the 1860 census in Cleveland Ohio she was married to a man named Christian Stahl. She married a third time in 1876 and died in Cleveland Ohio in 1903. Is it possible she may be connected to your research?
Thank you,

Resisting the Logic of Fear
in the Age of Terrorism
– By Magdalena Krakau| November 8, 2016
Image by Ars Electronica
In July of 2016 four violent attacks in three different German cities claimed the lives of 13 people. The first anti-terrorism policy draft published in the aftermath of the attacks suggests increased surveillance, more police and more thorough background-checks on immigrants.[i] At the same time, some conservative German politicians have proposed banning certain Islamic garments such as the burka and niqab.[ii] Such security- and information-focused measures have become commonplace across the Western world and are about to be enforced in Germany to counter terror attacks in the short term. However, their narrow and often essentialist methods have the potential to reinforce the very divisions in society to which terrorism contributes. Below, I first sketch how counter-terrorism can deteriorate societal dialogue, trust and cohesion, before proposing a remedy in the form of the psychological concept of resilience.
An official terrorism-prevention strategy focused on surveillance assumes that potential terrorists can be identified by certain tell-tale characteristics such as ethnicity or religious identification. Members of society who exhibit these characteristics – all too often members of cultural or ethnic minorities – are singled out and scrutinised according to the logic of probability and guilt by association. If such a strategy – in concert with more questionable measures such as banning symbols of religious minorities – dominate public discourse, they further legitimise an "us versus them", insider-outsider logic. This security-focused logic writ large has the potential to be extremely divisive for any society, fostering feelings of mutual suspicion, xenophobia and fear, dividing the public into identity-based groups. In a society thus divided, genuine public discourse becomes increasingly difficult to achieve.[iii] Citizens become more vulnerable to anti-liberal, anti-democratic ideologies and often more violence emerges from groups who feel threatened. Current political discussion in Germany is a good example of this process.
Despite the diverse backgrounds of the attackers, the attacks in Germany reignited discussions about the causes of such violence and about the potential negative aftermath of Germany's response to the refugee crisis.[iv] The German populist party Alternative für Deutschland has experienced a staggering rise in popularity over the past year and achieved double-digit representation in recent state-level elections.[v] In addition, there has been a series of extreme right attacks against refugee homes and ethnic minorities. The combination of repeated terror attacks and the security-informed logic of terrorism prevention are driving communities apart. Anti-terror policies are clearly required. Citizens are concerned and they expect their governments to protect them. Yet, additional measures are also needed: measures that do not simply pursue the immediate prevention of terrorism, but help societies resist the centrifugal tendencies of mutual suspicion, fear and division. I believe the psychological concept of resilience provides useful strategies for working towards this goal.
The concept of resilience has its origins in the material sciences. Originally, resilience described the ability of a material to bounce back from shocks or impacts.[vi] More recently, it has been adopted by other sciences, most famously psychology. In this discipline, resistance is a positive coping quality attributed to individuals who are able to constructively recover from major traumas or shocks in their lives.[vii] Although there is no single accepted definition of the term, resilience defined as the 'ability to resist, absorb, recover from or successfully adapt to adversity or a change in conditions' is suitable for grasping what societal resilience might entail.[viii]
Importantly, resilience does not mean simply ignoring negative experiences in favour of a naïve optimism. Rather, it entails a forward-looking constructive realism, acknowledging shocks and traumas as part of a diverse life experience and not allowing them disproportional destructive power. As resilience is a practice-focused state, it is not enough to understand what resilience requires. An individual or collective looking to become resilient must devise a strategy for becoming so.
On its website, the American Psychological Association (APA) has listed a number of strategies for fostering resilience in individuals.[ix] They can be easily modified to become strategies for a more resilient society. While many of the strategies could simply be pointers for individuals who want to contribute toward making their society more resilient, they can also be reflected on a higher level in policy choices.
Making connections
The APA suggests focusing on developing strong relationships with friends and family to increase resilience. A society-focused adaption of this strategy could be to encourage exchange and foster connections between groups of different backgrounds. This could start with the simple act of introducing oneself to one's neighbours, but on a greater scale could mean expanding the government budget for parks, public meeting places and initiatives that encourage intra-societal exchange. The Erasmus Programme in Europe is a brilliant example of inter-cultural connection between young people in Europe, which is continuously being expanded due to its great popularity.[x] With an increased budget and political initiative, it could even be expanded to countries outside of the EU.
Keeping things in perspective and avoiding seeing crises as insurmountable problems
What the APA means by this is fairly self-explanatory – few personal crises mean the literal end of the world and there are usually different ways to perceive them. This is the same for political problems such as violent attacks. The real probability of any individual becoming the victim of a terrorist attack is infinitesimally small and individuals would do well to frequently remind themselves of this fact.[xi]
The media and government have an undeniable obligation to inform citizens about attacks, but at the same time they should avoid blowing the threat out of proportion. Rather, they should help citizens resist succumbing to the logic of fear. Fostering a public discussion about the origins of terrorism and politically motivated violence can help tame the spectre of arbitrariness and irrationality that is often closely connected to terrorist attacks. This educational aspect is mainly the responsibility of the media.
A number of great examples of calm, collected analysis can be found in recent German publications.[xii] Politicians, on the other hand, should concentrate on refraining from using fearmongering strategies for political gain. Unfortunately, this kind of integrity is too often lacking in the political sphere.
Looking for opportunities for self-discovery
In all crises, there is a potential for improvement and growth, whether in individuals or societies. Here, individual and societal resilience could mean focusing on the positive qualities of one's society that one does not want to see undermined by terrorism by excessive security policies.
For example, the right of physical integrity, in which one may wish to include the right to choose one's clothes, is an essential right in many liberal democracies. Many political leaders emphasised the importance of this right in response to the illiberal policies of the Islamic State. The ban on burkas and niqabs threatens to undermine self-determination in Germany.
The logic of security can only support this trade-off of personal freedoms for the benefit of security, but the logic of resilience encourages us to remember our values and defend them. It also challenges us to improve ourselves, to look at the origins of a crisis and do better. Right now, this could include questioning our treatment of the Middle East and refugees, as well as challenging societal stigmata attached to the disenchanted and the mentally ill. Once more the media can be a good platform for these discussions, but it is paramount that the conversation is prioritised in all parts of society, be it in religious institutions, universities, schools or civil society organisations and NGOs.
Taking decisive actions
This is where resilience connects with security. The ASA advises individuals to take concrete steps to address their problem. Individuals may want to attend demonstrations or write to their representatives to feel more empowered. The method of choice to foster such societal resilience appears to be conventional terrorism prevention strategies. Resilience does not deny the utility of such policies, it merely points towards a number of further strategies that can help a society prepare for, cope with and recover from times of crisis without resorting to further acts of subjugation and violence.
Thus, the concept of resilience can provide a useful starting point for societies that feel that a series of crises have undermined their social cohesion and peace. It also provides an interesting complement to the prevalent logic of security and has the potential to reign-in excessive anti-terrorism policies while not contradicting security activities. Of course, resilience is not a panacea to all the ailments societies experience in crisis. It is a vague and contested concept which does not provide specific remedies to context-dependent problems. What it can do is provide a novel philosophical angle to help us reassess our priorities and thought-processes to resist being governed completely by the logic of fear.
Magdalena Krakau is a postgraduate student in International Public Management, specialising in European and East Asian affairs, at Sciences Po (Paris Institute of Political Studies). Having studied at the University of Sheffield and at the Australian National University, she wrote her undergraduate thesis on German-American security relations and has a keen interest in security and diplomacy. She has previously published policy analysis in Global Policy and interned for Peace Brigades International in Hamburg. Being of German origin, she is deeply concerned about the increasing populist undertones in German politics in the lead-up to the 2017 federal election.

Georgia Waltz has things many people only dream of: A plush Manhattan apartment overlooking Central Park, a Hamptons beach house, valuable jewels and art, two bright daughters, and a husband she adores, even after decades of marriage. It's only when Ben suddenly drops dead from a massive coronary while training for the New York City Marathon that Georgia discovers her husband - a successful lawyer - has left them nearly penniless. Their wonderland was built on lies.
As the family attorney scours emptied bank accounts, Georgia must not only look for a way to support her family, she needs to face the revelation that Ben was not the perfect husband he appeared to be, just as her daughters - now ensconced back at home with secrets of their own - have to accept that they may not be returning to their lives in Paris and at Stanford subsidized by the Bank of Mom and Dad. As she uncovers hidden resilience, Georgia's sudden midlife shift forces her to consider who she is and what she truly values. That Georgia may also find new love in the land of Spanx and stretch marks surprises everyone - most of all, her. Sally Koslow's fourth novel is deftly told through the alternating viewpoints of her remarkable female protagonists as they plumb for the grit required to reinvent their lives. Inspiring, funny, and deeply satisfying, The Widow Waltz explores in a profound way the bonds between mothers and daughters, belligerent siblings, skittish lovers, and bitter rivals as they discover the power of forgiveness, and healing, all while asking, "What is family, really?"
"Koslow's fourth novel . . . is well-written, page-turning domestic fiction about a family's reinvention and healing that will attract fans of Elizabeth Berg." (Library Journal)

The victim is currently recovering in hospital.
PSNI Chief Inspector Stephen McCauley has appealed for anyone with information to contact detectives in Reactive and Organised Crime on the non-emergency number 101.

It seems like an easy part of the game, but it's one that has hurt the Leathernecks in past seasons and this season as well. Taking care of the basketball was a major problem for the Western men earlier in the season as the squad turned it over an average of 15.5 times in the 11 nonconference games.
It seems like an easy part of the game, but it's one that has hurt the Leathernecks in past seasons and this season as well. Taking care of the basketball was a major problem for the Western men earlier in the season as the squad turned it over an average of 15.5 times in the 11 nonconference games.
Once the team entered league play, it has been a change. In four Summit League contests, WIU had turned it over an average of 10.25 times per outing. The Leathernecks have been even better in their last two games, turning it over five times against South Dakota State and six times against Oral Roberts.
"We've taken care of the ball two games in a row, our goal is to have fewer than 11 turnovers and we did that," WIU coach Billy Wright said. "We had 16 assists to six turnovers. Hats off to guys like Delo (Bruster) who had seven assists and no turnovers."
It's been a group effort though, as Western has done what it can to value possessions, especially in the conference games and even more so after starting point guard Jabari Sandifer went down with a season-ending injury.
"Garret (Covington) has been playing at a high level, he's been very efficient and has done a lot in the absence of Jabari to learn two packages at the point guard position," Wright said. "He's given us points and assists. Also Mike (Miklusak) has stepped up and made shots.
"It's been a total team effort, Dalan (Ancrum) has been better off the bench and given us points, Jordan Hughes gave us minutes."
While the minutes and points are nice, it all comes back to taking care of the ball. With turnovers down, Western is getting more possessions per game, more shots per game and ultimately, more points per game.
"The main thing that's killed us the past few years is turnovers, it's been our Achilles' heel," Covington said. "I think a couple teams have beaten us, but the majority of the time we beat ourselves. Once we got it in our heads we're our own worst enemy, we've taken care of that."
And part of that is the group growing up and gaining experience. With Sandifer out, Bruster has had his minutes increase significantly. But the sophomore is starting to adjust and is growing into the starting point guard spot.
"He has a better understanding of what I want," Wright said. "He's doing a better job of knowing when to shoot, when to drive and when to pass. That's a big adjustment for a guard and he's done a great job in the absence of Jabari.
"He wasn't hitting his shots (Saturday) but he's a hard worker and he's going to be back in the gym working hard."

Chennai Super Kings eye semis spot in CLT20
Chennai, who finished second in IPL VI, are among the favourites to lift the Champions League for a second time after clinching the trophy in 2010. And the sheer depth in the line-up was displayed on Thursday when Suresh Raina smashed a quickfire half-century while skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni produced a belligerent unbeaten knock of 63 for CSK to post a stunning 202 on the board against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Can Hyderabad recover?
In the first match of the day, both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Titans will be desperately looking for a win to stay in contention for a semi-final berth. Both teams have won one match and lost the other thus far.
The two teams are on four points each and a defeat would mean that the losing side will be virtually out of the reckoning.

It seems the priorities of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are totally out of line (Letters, "PETA says editorial on zoo missed point," Jan. 19). PETA contends the owners of Washington Farms in Oconee County, where a number of petting zoo animals were killed recently by roaming dogs, didn't adequately secure their animals. PETA's letter totally disregards the owners of the vicious dogs that did the attacking.
How far does PETA suggest owners should go to protect domesticated and friendly pets? For some animals that are free to roam, kill and destroy, a chalk line on the ground would be about as effective as a reasonably high fence. Does PETA believe owners of family pets (not to mention children) are responsible for safeguarding them when they are playing in their own yards, and owners of vicious animals should be held blameless if their animals attack?
Owners of vicious dogs must be held accountable for their actions so that no innocent animal - or, heaven forbid, a child - be harmed as a result of their owner's irresponsibility.
I don't own a pet, nor do I have small children, but I do have deep-seated feelings for those who do.

Classic Crumb Cake
My nephew Jordan is the very talented chef at Rocky Mountain Ranch- an historic family ranch nestled in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. He has the freedom to plan creative menus from scratch, using local ingredients and assembling theme dinners, etc. Last spring he contacted me to see if I had a great, classic crumb coffee cake recipe for him to use. I checked my website and found that I really didn't have anything fitting that description. So he came up with one on his own, and I didn't think much about it after that. But when Christmas rolled around this year, I thought about that conversation I had with Jordan and figured it was high time I added a Classic Crumb Coffee Cake to the collection.
This recipe comes directly from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. And I must say… it's an awfully good one.
The texture of the base batter is very thick. It spreads rather thin (I thought…), but it rises up a fair amount to create a nice cake layer.
Here's the shocking part… are you ready for this? I'm seriously embarrassed to even admit that I made this, and I was totally freaked out and grossed out at the same time. The crumb topping has 3 1/2 sticks of butter in it. !!!!!!!! EEK. I decided that Martha Stewart probably knows what she's doing and just went for it anyways. I was also super surprised that the crumb layer was a good 1/2-inch thick. It kind of seems like you don't need that much crumb when you're making the cake, but it really does turn out perfect in the end.
Martha calls this a "foolproof cake – perfect for beginners." I'd say that she's right. It was so easy to prepare, and it turned out exactly as I was hoping it would. It was a big hit on Christmas morning with my relatives. I tried to warn them how much butter was in the cake, but no one seemed to care. Everyone went back for seconds anyways! As for my nephew and his ranch, I must say… Martha's Crumb Cake might be a nice addition to the Ranch's breakfast offerings! By the way, I hope to visit the ranch this summer, since my son quite enamored with fly fishing and outdoor boy stuff. If the chef adds this crumb cake to his menu, we just might have to seriously consider making a reservation 😉
Yield: One 13x9-inch cake (10 to 12 servings)
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Martha's Classic Crumb Cake
- butter for greasing the pan
- 2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream
- additional butter, for greasing the pan
- 3 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt (I used Kosher)
- 1 3/4 cups (3 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 13x9-inch baking pan (I used a metal pan- but a pyrex would probably work out okay too).
- Prepare the cake layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes (scrape sides of bowl during mixing to incorporate all of the ingredients). Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture, then the sour cream. Beat just until combined.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, and use a rubber spatula to spread it into an even layer.
- Prepare the crumb layer: In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt; cut in the butter using a pastry blender, until large, moist clumps form. (I used a food processor to combine the butter and the other ingredients, pulsing until crumbs formed. The crumbs were smaller than large, moist clumps as described by Martha, but they worked perfectly fine in the recipe anyways).
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly onto the batter. Bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. The center of the cake should feel slightly firm to the touch and not soft and soggy. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Slice and eat!

It seems like your family is a family of people who really love to cook and bake. That's got to be fun! I wish I could say the same of my family.
And 3 1/2 stick of butter is kind of horrifying, but it's crumb cake. 🙂 And if it's good, and you don't eat the whole thing by yourself (which is sadly always a possibility for me), I say, "Oh well. Who cares?"
It looks awesome! Definitely worth all the butter. 🙂
I have Martha's Baking Handbook and I passed over this recipe b/c of the insane amount of butter in the crumb topping…I've never heard of that much better in a crumb topping….Glad to know it turns out really good….will have to save this one for when we have guests!
Oh I just LOVE crumb cake and have tried a few recipes but just haven't found the one I love just yet. I will have to give this a try, butter and all. YUM! It looks delicious.
That looks amazing!!
How fun to have such great cooks in the family! This does look like the ultimate crumb cake – would be a special treat for guests this holiday season.
Yummy! I will make sure Jordan does a test run on my taste buds prior to using the recipe at the ranch this summer. I hope you can make it to the ranch, I know Brooks would enjoy every minute of it.
Wow, this looks so fantastic! I do love a good crumb cake.
Wow, looks amazingly delicious and so I will HAVE to try it!
I am so glad you trusted Martha and just went with it. Really, I've made crumb topping coffee cakes that are 9-inch rounds and have used almost 2 sticks of butter in the topping so double that for a 9×13 pan and it all pencils out 🙂 And I love the THICK layer – and the density of the cake. The whole thing is great!
I can't even begin to express how much I love a good crumb cake. Your recipe looks awesome!
Looks wonderful, but all that butter…probably not…think I can sub some of it? (LOL lite, ICBINB, etc?)
Looks Scrumptious Lori. Crumb Cake is one of my all time favs…..well anything with a crumb topping is!!!
Fabulous recipe! I haven't had a classic crumbcake in forever!!! Your looks out of this world!!! Bookmarking for sure! Happy New Years!
I have made this before and loved it. I almost didn't after seeing how much butter it called for, but it tastes so good that I'm glad I went for it.
Lori I will have to admit, I would never make this crumb cake, it does look good though, but 3 sticks of butter, nah… may I share one with you that have tried from Tara at "it smells like home" that is more of a NY style crumb cake, I made it and it is wonderful…http://smells-like-home.com/2011/04/new-york-style-crumb-cake/#comments
Yeah that is a lot of butter but seems to be standard for these crumb toppings. Glad your family enjoyed it. Something like this is perfect for when you have a crowd and are not left to eat the whole thing by yourself! Happy new Year!
I love butter and had to giggle to myself, crumb cake is one of the first recipes I made when I was young…the word cake is what made me try my hand at baking! and the crumbly cinnamon & butter top had me making it every weekend.
I think I will need to make this again soon, and try this recipe.
I adore crumb cake. Definitely one of my absolute favorites!
Sounds delicious. Crumb cake is one of those things I have always made without a recipe and have many memories of baking cinnamon-y crumb cake with my mom on the weekends. I'm definitely going to try this one. It looks and sounds delicious. That does sound like a lot of butter but the crumbs look delicious, so I'm glad you went for it and shared. Thanks.
Crumb cake is one of my favorite desserts! I cannot wait to try this out!!
I'm totally loving the crumb to cake ratio on this! Now if only I can have a slice of this for breakfast tomorrow…
OMG- I love this!! I'm going to so make this. 3.5 stick of butter and all.
But wait…don't stop just stating how much butter is in the crumb topping. The whole recipe calls for 4 3/4 sticks of butter! There's 1 1/4 sticks of butter in the cake plus 3 1/2 sticks of butter in the crumb layer. Yikes. Sounds like an expensive cake to me…though most likely delicious.
Found the cake to be extremely blan. Perhaps using some bust of dried fruit would help. Very expensive cake to make, I believe it's to much butter for one recipe 🙁
VERY DISSIPOINTED! Very Bland! the "crumb topping" tastes like buttery flour, the cake just has no flavor at all…i made sure i read and re-read this recipe multiple times while i was making it but it looks to me like a few ingreedients were left out of this recipe…i thought something was weird about a crumb topping with more flour than anything else…sad, for all the money i put into this its just going in the trash…
I made this 2 days ago for a get together yesterday. I should have went with my instincts. Everyone is afraid of the butter amount; no mention of how much flour and "lack" of sugar. It looked beautiful, but my daughter & I each took one bite. . . .rest of cake went in the trash. The cake is not real sweet and the amount of flour to sugar is over the top. The topping is basically "flour and butter". Why?????? I want the topping to be a SWEET, crumbly topping. That's what I'll be looking for as I search for a GOOD crumb cake. Sorry, but this was a CRUMBY cake.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I'm a fan of Martha's, but I don't have her baking book. I ran across a similar recipe on her website, but it only had 1/2 baking soda and no baking powder, which didn't sound like it would raise very well. I went on the search and found this recipe. I live in Germany and the flour here is different somehow and the butter higher in fat, so not all American recipes work, but this one did, very well! I had hope, since I have a similar coffee cake recipe that uses sour cream. I had been reading too many crumb cake recipes where the butter is melted for the streusel and I didn't pay attention that it wasn't in this one. It worked even with melted butter, but I didn't need as much to get the flour moist and crumbly. So, next time I will see if there is a difference if I don' melt it. I also added a layer of sour cherry jam between the cake and streusel. Great addition! (I used one cup.)
Happy baking from Germany.
I really want to caution people NOT to make this cake. I never use "all purpose" flour, because I grind my own grains, but I can tell that, no matter what flour I would use, this cake would just taste like lightly sweet flour. Nothing more. I am so sad I wasted (and I mean WASTED) so much organic butter on this cake. :'~( Not to mention time. I'm not blaming the blogger. Some people like bland things. There is a somewhat rich undertone of butter, of course. But, the flavor is lightly sweetened flour. Now, I will say, the cake part might taste okay, if you add a REGULAR crumble topping to the top, with more sugar, less flour, oats and so forth…
Just a warning to the wise. Do NOT make this cake.
Ooooooo…that cinnamon-y topping!!!!

Youth of Pakistan must read all the predictions of Waliullah's and Sufi's about Pakistan yes Quran is a constitution of Pakistan Pakistan is a noor as stated by late Dr Israr that Pakistan was revealed on 27th Ramazan just like Quran ,Pakistan is a direct revelation of ALLAH for a great purpose -ALLAH revealed Pakistan on a night of power and its protected by divine wisdom of ALLAH -after studying this subject for years i have no doubt in my mind that Pakistan is a divine creation with a specific purpose and Inshallah Pakistan will stay on earth till judgment day
InshAllah, We must pray for our country.
Kindly read the predictions of NAMAT ULLAH SHAH WALI, to know the exact future of MADINA-E-SANI, PAKISTAN, INSHALLAH.
InshAllah Allah Pak kary k hamar ya pyara sa pakistan thk hatho ma chala jy abi tk to jo b aya hy is ny pakistan ko khaya he hy mari duwa hy k allah ab thk kar dy hr din hr chez ki kimat ma azafa hota hy pata ni hum jasy garib log kasy apna ghr chala ty hy,|Azher Malik form (FSD Pakistan)
Surely the principles upon which Pakistan was made is a direct illustration of Allah's Noor. But to call Pakistan the Noor of Allah ? what blasphemy is this ? – Pakistan is a state, not a religious deity. There is no "zawaal" to the Noor of Allah. But we have forgotten our recent history. Pakistan was broken in 1971 and is now decelerating really fast towards intense internal conflicts.Please do wonder why is that before taking refuge under the cover of such prophecies.Allah gave our own state, "Pakistan", because we, as a nation, at that time, promised Allah to abide by his rules and follow the Quran. And did we ?If we do not fulfill our promise to Allah, then surely we seek Allah's anger.Such narcissistic behavior has rendered us so inefficient and so ineffective that we cannot even enforce basic justices in our society. And yet we so daringly feel good about ourselves by hearing such prophecies.Wake up to the reality that this prediction actually means that we either straighten our business with Allah or prepare to be replaced with those who would come out worthy.

I am using Photoshop CS3, if someone could tell me how to set up a file with 8 colours, or point me to a guide I would be very grateful.

Canberrans enjoy cold snap in city centre, Corin Forest
Canberra's temperature today reached a maximum of 8 degrees just after 12:30pm, but the apparent temperature plunged as low as -5 degrees overnight.
But it did not stop Canberrans from venturing out to enjoy the cold snap in the nation's capital.
Staff from the ACT Chamber of Commerce were among those who braved apparent temperatures of -3 degrees this morning during a Sunflower Dash to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.
Andrew Blyth from the ACT Chamber of Commerce wore just his Speedos for the run.
"A little bit of discomfort is nothing compared to those that suffer from blood cancer," Mr Blyth said.
Assistant general manager of Canberra Cavalry baseball Max Viney said he was happy to help a good cause.
"It's the least we could do for these people suffering," he said.
The Prior family from Sydney dressed up as bees for the Sunflower Dash.
"Bees pollinate flowers and mum came up with the idea," Makayla, 11, said.
But the freezing temperatures came as a shock.
"We don't normally get this cold weather up there," mum Bron Prior said.
Also attracting attention was Canberra's Skate in the City ice rink.
Many families took to the ice, taking advantage of the already freezing conditions.
Other Canberrans ventured further afield to Corin Forest.
Just 30 minutes from Canberra, Corin Forest received a light dusting of snow.
Corin Forest operators said they hope to enhance the local snow scene.
They recently purchased a snow machine and said they were developing plans for a small ski slope.
For Canberra families there was no need to travel to the New South Wales Snowy Mountains to make a snowman.
But with so many people flocking to the snow in their own backyards, it caused delays on the roads.

OK this might be a mad idea but I'm of the opinion I need to go travelling again. I'd like to go abroad and do something useful rather than hang out in bars all day.
I am starting to think that going to somewhere like Taiwan and studying for a masters in business (or something) would be good. This would fit in well with my plan to move out of programming and into product management type roles (which I'm kind of doing in my current job anyway).
Is this a good idea or a non-starter? If so, can anyone recommend any Universities? I'd prefer to be in Taipei.
It seems fairly cheap to study there (well compared to somewhere like the USA or Singapore or Hong Kong).
Cost of living seems reasonable.
Seems easy to get a visa.
More democracy than in China.
Less pollution and maybe better food than in China.
Lots of white legged ladies - I have met a few Taiwanese ladies already and I've been very impressed .
Some good Universities, and lots of tech stuff going on.
I can carry on with my Chinese studies and maybe achieve HSK 3.
Can finally meet Winston IRL.
No eye contact?
My house might wash away in a typhoon.
Unknown unknowns.

A new LunarFlight gameplay video reveals all-new cockpit UI, missions and drones.
It's been a while since we last checked out LunarFlight on the Oculus Rift; an amazing simulator which lets pilot a craft across the surfaces of the Moon and Mars while carrying out missions that include gathering cargo and acquiring data. What makes the game stand out from others is its sense of scale and attention to detail (in particular the amazing physics engine), which creates an utterly realistic experience on the Oculus Rift. If space flight, mission-based gameplay and immersion is your thing then LunarFlight is definitely worth checking out.
Today a brand new 7-minute gameplay video was released by the developers at Shovsoft, which demonstrates some of the games upcoming features in action. First up is the new cockpit UI, which is more detailed and easier to read in virtual reality. Next, the video shows off a new transport mission while two droids are destroyed using rockets.
It's been great to see LunarFlight develop and improve since its early release on the Oculus Rift DK1, and there's never been a better time to jump on-board to enjoy the game in VR. Priced $10 on the Humble Store, the game is an affordable way to experience space flight on the Rift, and with continued updates we're likely to see support for the retail Oculus Rift headset later this year.

Larry Bird is tired of losing, and the Pacers president will do whatever it takes to win now.
On Tuesday, Bird even defied conventional wisdom by announcing his draft-night strategy - adding a point guard, upgrading Indiana's overall talent level and looking for a trade to make it all work.
"I want to win, our team wants to win and if the right deal comes up, we'll look to move forward," he said. "You never know what's going to happen, but it is time to start winning."
The Pacers missed the playoffs for a fourth straight season, lost out on getting one of the top three picks and are still trying to negotiate a more palatable deal to run Conseco Fieldhouse. Callers on local radio talk shows have increasingly expressed a desire to get rid of Bird and coach Jim O'Brien, and yet some are suggesting the Pacers' rebuilding process can't begin in full until 2011-12 when they'll finally have room under the NBA's salary cap.
Bird, a three-time NBA champion and the only coach to lead the Pacers to an NBA Finals, is running out of patience, too.
He acknowledged Tuesday the Pacers have talked trade with teams around league, deals that could finally land them the point guard they need. The only potential partner Bird identified was Minnesota, and that was to deny a report that the Pacers would send the 10th overall pick in Thursday night's draft in a package deal to the Timberwolves for Jonny Flynn and the 16th and 23rd picks.
"We did call Minnesota and we've called a lot of teams, but that (the Flynn deal) was never on the table," Bird said.
The bigger question is what Bird will do with Indiana's three draft picks.
Everybody, including Bird, has Kentucky's John Wall at the top of their wish lists, and Philadelphia is expected to make Ohio State's Evan Turner the No. 2 pick.
Then it's anybody's guess.
Clearly, the Pacers need another point guard with A.J. Price expected to miss four to six months after fracturing the patella in his left knee, Earl Watson about to become a free agent and T.J. Ford's time seemingly nearing an end in Indy.
But with this year's draft class short on point guards, the Pacers have paraded a litany of forwards and centers through Indy. The list includes North Carolina's Ed Davis, Georgetown's Greg Monroe and Baylor center Ekpe Udoh - all expected to go in the top 10. Udoh is one of a handful of players who has worked out twice in Indy.
"It's a great team that I think is on the rise," Udoh said. "I think I'm a good fit here."
Keeping the pick could put Bird in a bind, too.
On Monday, the Pacers evaluated hometown favorite Gordon Hayward, the forward who led Butler's improbable run to the national championship game - much like Bird did at Indiana State three decades earlier. Hayward would give the Pacers a natural drawing card and a young shooter around which to build.
The problem is Indiana already has All-Star Danny Granger playing the No. 3 spot and veteran Troy Murphy, another 3-point shooter, starting on the front line. Hayward's ball-handling skills and court vision could make him a viable option at guard, too, though Bird thinks Brandon Rush will develop into a solid NBA shooting guard.
That combination could rekindle memories of the 1987 draft when fans booed then-Pacers president Donnie Walsh for selecting UCLA's Reggie Miller with the 11th pick instead of Indiana's Steve Alford. Alford didn't go until early in the second round, and Miller eventually became the face of the franchise.
If the Pacers pass on Hayward, well, the boobirds could be back.
"That really has no bearing on it," Bird said when asked about fan reaction. "I just know he (Hayward) is a good player. He's got good skills. He's a player."
Even if a first-round trade doesn't happen, there's a good chance Bird could move the 40th or 57th picks. Or both.
Bird acknowledged "everyone" is talking to him about at least one of those two picks and many teams are trying to get out of the first round.
"We're going to two good players there," he said.
Will it be enough to get the Pacers back in the playoffs?
Bird isn't sure.
"This is a strange draft. Obviously we're looking at point guards and there are not a lot in the draft, so if we do get a point guard, it will probably be a (veteran) player," Bird said. "There are a lot of options out there, but there's nothing concrete yet."

Wildenstein has controversy down to a fine art
WHEN Alec Wildenstein arrives at Ascot today he will walk into a spotlight that his family has been studiously anxious to avoid. He will do so without a care; as if his recent, public indiscretions had never happened. The son of a man whose impetuous temper unnerved the racing community is very much a chip off the old block.
The legion of trainers and jockeys dismissed by Wildenstein père et frère would be among the first inductees to any hall of fame. Among them Lester Piggott, Pat Eddery, Walter Swinburn, Peter Walwyn, Henry Cecil, John Hammond and André Fabre. No one, it seems, is good enough for the prized thoroughbreds of this extraordinary clan.
And when defeat spawns no obvious scapegoat, Wildenstein is not averse…

Rate of convergence of a particle method to the solution of the Mc Kean-Vlasov's equation
This paper studies the rate of convergence of an appropriate discretization scheme of the solution of the Mc Kean-Vlasov equation introduced by Bossy and Talay. More specifically, we consider approximations of the distribution and of the density of the solution of the stochastic differential equation associated to the Mc Kean - Vlasov equation. The scheme adopted here is a mixed one: Euler/weakly interacting particle system. If $n$ is the number of weakly interacting particles and $h$ is the uniform step in the time discretization, we prove that the rate of convergence of the distribution functions of the approximating sequence in the $L^1(\Omega\times \Bbb R)$ norm and in the sup norm is of the order of $\frac 1{\sqrt n} + h $, while for the densities is of the order $ h +\frac 1 {\sqrt {nh}}$. This result is obtained by carefully employing techniques of Malliavin Calculus.

Twente wait on Engelaar
FC Twente are sweating on the fitness of star midfielder Orlando Engelaar.
By Jeffrey Glorie
Last Updated: 13/02/08 7:05pm
FC Twente are sweating on the fitness of star midfielder Orlando Engelaar.
The 28-year-old had an exploratory operation earlier this week on his knee and is now set to be ruled out for around two weeks.
During the operation Engelaar had his knee cleaned up and he should be back soon.
"It is an injury I already had for some time but I was able to play on with," said Engelaar.
"A check-up in hospital showed that there was something."
New deal
Meanwhile, the Dutch international is continuing talks over a new contract as Twente look to tie him down for another three years.
A number of clubs, including Ajax, have showed an interest but Twente are hopeful of sealing his signature on a new deal.
"Just like we extended the contract of Karim El Abmadi until 2011, it was also our intention to do so with Engelaar," said Twente chairman Joop Munsterman.
"I think that we are in such an advanced stage that I can say he has extended his contract until 2011."

"One man's trash is another man's treasure", so the adage goes. Or maybe one man's trash is his own treasure.
In the short film The Norton Project, two brothers drive to Vermont after stealing their father's 1969 Norton Commando motorcycle for restoration without their dad even realizing it was missing.
Boxes of motorcycle parts line their father's basement shelves, yet for four months, he had no clue that all of it was missing. Watch how these brothers pull off a wonderful Christmas surprise, thanks to a lot of helpful "elves" and a clueless mother.
Now I feel lame for giving my dad a shirt for Christmas.

Croatia win first water polo gold
Croatia won the gold medal in the World Championships men's water polo final for the first time after an extra time 9-8 victory over twice champions Hungary in Melbourne on Sunday.
Two goals during the extra period from Pavo Markovic proved the key for the Croatians, who celebrated their first title in a major championship.
The match was tied at 7-7 at the final whistle, and the two extra three-minute periods proved as fiercely contested as normal time.
Markovic gave the Croatians an 8-7 lead with a long-range throw from outside the five-metre box.
Gergely Kiss equalised with just 11 seconds of the first period remaining, before Markovic made the decisive blow with another effort from distance with 90 seconds remaining.
Hungary took the silver medal again after also losing the 2005 final. Earlier, Spain secured the bronze medal after beating former champions Serbia 18-17 in a penalty shoot-out.
Topics: water-polo, swimming, melbourne-3000, croatia, hungary

Summer is coming so it is time for me to find a new sunscreen for protection.
I wear sun screen 365 days a year. This is without exception. I would rather go out in the world bare faced and with SS than with the best make up in the universe, and no sun block. Hell no. Not me.
I had previous been using Laneige star white multi protector SPF 40 with PA +++
It had lasted quite a long time, and for the price the lifespan is not so bad...but there is 1 flaw.
After application your face looks so OILY.
I do not have oily skin, but with this item I look like I do =( so it time for me to move on, now that I have finally run out of this item.
My new Sun Screen:
Dior Snow SPF 50 PA +++ I tried this on in the store and AHHH no oil what so ever! no oily residue! A new very important requirement for me in a sun screen. Higher SPF was also a bonus but... the this thing looks so damn small... I was like $50 dollars? this thing is only like 4 inches...but the sales person had informed me that this was 1 years worth. a YEAR!? maybe I am applying too much, but so far I have been liking it over my Laneige, and am happy with the purchase.
On a side note my package from YesAsia has arrived.
Isn't it pretty? My new " Boys over Flowers" necklace. People who have seen this drama will recognize the pieces. I am ashamed to admit, but I have yet to SEE this drama! It is definitely on my list to watch soon, but so far not 1 episode...
When I wear this around K town alot of ppl seem to think I am a huge fan. Haha I just thought the necklace was pretty.
The other piece is from my bf on my birthday. I wear it almost every day at work because it is very cute and work appropriate I think, but don't they look good together? Hmmm it seems I have a very easily spotted taste in jewelry.
