.- The
state-controlled Catholic church in China has ignored urging from the
Vatican and gone ahead with the consecration of a new bishop without
the Holy See's approval.
The Vatican had called for a delay in the appointment over concerns that the bishop is inexperienced and too closely aligned with China's communist regime.
Fr. Ma Yingling was consecrated as bishop of Kunming at a ceremony Sunday in the southwestern Yunnan province. He was shown on Hong Kong cable television wearing a mitre and waving to crowds.
While the Chinese state-controlled church does not recognize the Vatican's power to appoint bishops, many recent appointments had been approved by both sides.
Vatican-appointed bishop of Hong Kong, Cardinal Joseph Zen, had called for the delay on the Vatican's behalf. He said the Vatican needed more time to assess Fr. Ma's qualifications, and said that ordination without Vatican approval "would be deliberately wrecking China-Vatican negotiations," reported the BBC.
China has stated repeatedly that relations with the Vatican could improve if the Holy See cuts diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
China's state-sanctioned Catholic church has four million members, while the unofficial church that is loyal to the Pope has 10 million members.

FAIRBANKS- Some Alaskans are questioning new health insurance requirements under the Affordable Care Act. According to Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield, about 3,600 customers in Alaska have a plan that can be "grandfathered in" and it does NOT have to meet new requirements.
According to healthcare.gov, if you are covered by a plan that existed before March 23, 2010, your plan may be "grandfathered" in to the new system. If you're plan started after March 23, 2010, and doesn't meet the minimum requirements, you will have to pay for a more comprehensive plan which raise the cost of monthly premiums. For some subsidies could offset the cost.
This subsidy calculator can help estimate if you qualify for aid:

Toning is a healing process which uses vocal sound to restore and balance the human energy body. It opens doorways into the psyche, communicating information that a person may not be consciously aware of. Toning releases painful emotions trapped in the body. It is used as a means to clear and charge the energetic field.
No one taught me toning: it is a gift that opened through me, slowly, organically and continually, as I opened to my healing skills. I continue this process each time I work by turning myself over to Spirit. I use toning as a means of centering myself and verifying an energetic clarity and readiness for working. I use toning to percolate information from the unconscious into consciousness.
What does rebuilding my website have in common with a phoenix bird? Maybe more than I realized.
This process has taken longer than I imagined, and I needed to dismantle more than the old site. I let go of trying to do everything myself, which meant releasing my idealized self (and hiring Archetype Productions for an unfolding collaboration). I found some things I didn't like about myself and then needed to let go of self-judgment. Little by little, I even took apart my logo — or was that my ego? — or both.

WOODSTOCK, Ga. (BP)--Johnny Hunt, pastor of First Baptist Church in Woodstock, Ga., and immediate past president of the Southern Baptist Convention, has extended his leave of absence from the church through mid-September, citing physical and emotional exhaustion.
Hunt had been expected to return to the Woodstock pulpit Aug. 8 following his annual July sabbatical. However, Jim Law, senior associate pastor and administrator of the church, announced Hunt and Hunt's wife, Janet, will extend their leave by another six weeks.
The decision came on the counsel of a professional who encouraged the couple to extend their time away from ministerial responsibilities, Law explained.
Reading from a prepared statement, Law noted an "incredibly busy schedule for both of them, particularly the past two years serving our church family while at the same time serving our beloved denomination, they found themselves physically and emotionally depleted."
"Our pastor and Janet, right by his side, have been consumed with their responsibilities here because of their deep love for us as well as of the Southern Baptist Convention," Law said. "In recent days, at the encouragement of several of us, they sought the counsel of a professional and they have been advised that they needed an extended break from their normal routine.
"I know of no one else on the planet who has been giving himself away to others more than pastor Johnny," Law added. "Many people face physical and emotional weariness and that is especially true of leaders and their families."
Referring to the biblical prophet Elijah, Law said "exhaustion often follows mountain top experiences" and it "often follows intense periods of stress and strain, which they've been under."
Law said the church staff stands "in total support of the counsel they've received" and urged all staff and church members not to attempt to communicate with the Hunts "in any way at this time."
Law said Hunt is expected to return to the pulpit Sept. 19.
On Aug. 7, the night before his expected return, Hunt sent out a note through Twitter saying he was taking a leave of absence from Twitter and Facebook so he could spend more time with his wife.
That Tweet stated, "Must take a break from twitter & facebook for awhile as I seek to spend quality time with my dear wife Janet of 40 years. U all r great."
Hunt was sidelined earlier this year, in the middle of his second term as president of the denomination, as he underwent successful prostate surgery on Jan. 7. His presidency was consumed by the creation of the Great Commission Resurgence Task Force, which called for spiritual renewal and a partial restructuring of the denomination with greater emphasis on missions.
Hunt completed his two one-year terms in June at the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Orlando, where the task force's report was adopted by messengers.
A native of North Carolina, Hunt has been pastor of the Woodstock church since December 1986. In the 24 years of his pastorate, membership has increased from 1,027 to more than 17,000. Current average church worship attendance is 6,800.
Joe Westbury is managing editor of the Christian Index (www.christianindex.org), newsjournal of the Georgia Baptist Convention.

Categories > TV > Stargate: SG-1 > Harry's New Life
12: Last of Magic Business and Back in to the wider Galaxy1 Reviews
Harry and gang finish up the last of their main business in the wizarding world then back to the wider galaxy.
She appeared startled before quickly composing herself.
"I'm sorry for startling you minister but I felt we should have a little chat after the show I put on last night."
"Mr. Potter? You don't look like you did last night. Do you care to explain that?"
"Well Madam the crowd expected to see a spitting image of James Potter except for a lightning bolt shaped scar and killing curse green eyes. I figured that giving them what they expected would make it easier to project my Merlin like image so that I could get changes made at a faster pace."
"So I'm assuming it was some type of illusion but with your proclamation that you used no magic I'm assuming it wasn't a glamour charm. I'm relieved that I didn't misconstrue your likeness to the legends of Merlin."
"Yes I used no magic in my tasks last night. It would actually be more accurate to say that if you go by the definition of magic I have never performed any magic in my life. You see Madam Minister what we witches and wizards call magic is actually a very powerful form of higher dimensional energy."
At her shocked look Harry decided to go with the seeing is believing approach to give her further proof.
"If you'll take my hand Madam I will show you an example of what I'm talking about."
It looked like she was rather reluctant but she did take Harry's hand and he promptly teleported her to the bridge of the Lily which was cloaked in a high orbit. After the usual shocked reactions at the sight of earth from space Harry explained to Amelia Bones about the threat of the Goauld.
"Why are you telling me this Harry? The wizarding world is ill equipped to deal with any of this information."
"I'm telling you for two reasons. The first is because I believe you are well suited to move the wizarding world into the modern age where they will be suited for this information. The second is because if things progress as they are you will soon probably be considered family. My god brother is quite taken with your niece. To continue with that point I feel comfortable with giving you these devices. Neville is giving Susan the same devices as we speak and is also explaining the galactic situation to her."
Harry gave her all of the devices that were standard issue on the mars base and showed her how to use them after exchanging binding oaths never to betray each other. Harry felt it was now a good idea to exchange such oaths with all of your friends. The oaths were worded in such a way that only a betrayal that would result in the death of your friend would exact its toll. This kept any Pettigrew situations from repeating themselves.
"I suspect you're going to receive an invitation along with Susan to spend Christmas with my extended family on a planet I've set up called the Lily oasis. I should mention that my extended family includes Frank and Alice Longbottom."
Of course Harry had to explain how and why he faked their deaths.
"The Lily oasis is one of the reasons I look so mature for my chronological age. I have it set up so that 1 week on earth would be 1 year on the oasis planet. You need not worry about physically aging with the philosopher's ring I just gave you. In fact if you'll step over here I'll show you a little surprise."
Harry led Amelia into a room adjoining the bridge of the Lily that had what looked like a normal set of rings but was actually a larger sized conjurer with some special features. This conjurer was designed to conjure a clone body at any age between birth and the present age of the being, transfer the soul to the new body, and turn the old body into stored energy. It all happened so fast that all the being experienced was a moment of disorientation. Harry activated the device when Amelia was in place.
Amelia Bones went to school with Harry's parents so was the same age of about 35 or so as Sirius and Remus. Harry decided to knock 15 years off. When the rings settled back into the floor someone who appeared as a more attractive mature version of Susan Bones stood before Harry.
"Harry what did you just do?"
Harry answered by conjuring a full length mirror in front of the physically 20 year old woman.
"I reverted your physical age back to when you were 20 so that you could select what age you wanted to appear. I didn't know if you wanted to spend the rest of your life in that form but if you want I can change it back at any time."
Her response was very unlike what would be expected for a minister of magic. She squealed and jumped him in a bone crushing hug while thanking him profusely.
"You can appear in any form you want thanks to the holographic field projector I gave you. So you don't have to worry about being recognized as minister."
With that out of the way they went back to discussing the wizarding world.
"My suggestion would be to start with Hogwarts. The muggle studies curriculum needs to be brought up to the current times. It also needs to be expanded to teach the mundane sciences and mathematics. You'll need to have it made mandatory for all Hogwarts students. I would also suggest having occlumency be instituted as a mandatory subject. I would discard divination except for those who actually test positive for the talent, in which case a 2 year course will suffice instead of a 4 year one."
"You should find that now that the dark elements have been weeded out of society your way should be a lot easier to pursue these goals. You will also find the support of the Black, Longbottom, and Potter houses in the wizenmagot. All of the rest will follow their lead."
Harry had already explained the extraterrestrial origins of wizard kind as the gate builder race to Amelia.
"I don't expect wizard kind to make a galactic appearance as the gate builder race for many years but that doesn't mean that in the event that I fail to protect earth that they can't be the last defense. I find it hard to imagine any enemy that could survive against a large number of highly trained wizards and witches that board their ships."
"I'll do my best Harry to prepare our world."
"You certainly won't be alone Amelia."

Gorgeous!!! Try on this dress!!!! The pic in the catalog does not do it justice. Its is insanely beautiful, and is so comfortable! July 18, 2011
Beautiful Gown!! Ladies, the picture on the website absolutely does no justice to how beautiful this gown is. I was married on June 25th and have attached a few wedding photos, but when I first began my dress search, I found a dress similar to this, but by another designer which I completely fell in love with. As the price was too expensive, I kept searching. What a surprise to find this gown. Not only was it affordable, it contained much of the same detailing as the other more expensive dress. I chose my dress in candlelight, which is a very light ivory and it is absolutely beautiful! My bridal consultant at Davids paired it with a gorgeous veil and shoes. I could not have been more pleased with the service I received, and the affordability offered by Davids for all of their services. Do not leave the store without trying on this amazing gown. You will not be disappointed! July 9, 2011
Beautiful dress This dress is amazing, elegant, romantic, and PERFECT!! June 10, 2011
I couldn't be happier!!! I just recently bought this dress and I absolutely love it! It was actually a dress my consultant picked out and while it was still on the hanger I had my doubts...but once I got it one I knew this was the dress I wanted to get married in. I bought a size 12 and it definently makes you look slimmer and shows off my curves fantastically!!! I highly recommend it...definantly worth the price :D May 31, 2011

Django Unchained has released a new TV spot mostly comprising footage we've already seen, but still enticing enough to keep our sense of anticipation ticking along nicely!
As with the trailers, the TV spot outlines how Django (Jamie Foxx) falls in with Dr. Shultz (Christoph Waltz) and the mission the two embark upon, before cutting to a collection of snippets of the two of them acting like total badasses.
In terms of new footage, there isn't a huge amount on show, although watch out for an aged-up Samuel L. Jackson as house-slave Simon, who gets to deliver his first line of dialogue so far.
Check out the new spot, below…
There's a bit more of Kerry Washington on show here as Django's wife, but other than that, it's mostly things we've seen before. Still, we enjoyed them the first time around, so who's complaining? And we've got a lot of time for Sam Jackson's chalky white eyebrows!
Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained opens in the UK on 18 January 2013. As Calvin Candie might say, it promises to be, "a good bit of fun."

Devotional For Dieters 11/17
Isaiah 12:5
Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
Ann went our shopping for a whole new winter wardrobe. Every day of her diet, she had put money away for just this very day. She had set a goal for herself, and she promised to take herself shopping when she reached it. Now was that day, and she was overjoyed. For the first time in years, she wasn't embarrassed to go out for new things. She could walk into normal stores and pull things off the rack to wear. She could find new fashions and not worry about whether they came in her size. The whole world looked brighter. God had been so good to her, and she was thankful. Now she was going to be good to herself!
Today's thought: I'm going to treat myself to a new me!

A 24-year-old Palm Harbor man is facing a variety of charges including robbery stemming from his involvement in a string of convenience store robberies in Dunedin.
Trevor David Winsett was booked into the Pinellas County Jail where he is being held on a bond of $75,000.
According to a Pinellas County Sheriff's Office report the suspect robbed and burglarized the Munchees convenience store in the 2100 block of Bayshore Blvd. on three separate occasions.
Detectives say during the commission of those crimes approximately 100 scratch-off lottery tickets were stolen. Winsett was identified as a suspect through fingerprints lifted from the stolen tickets that were cashed in.
The fingerprints belonged to Winsett's brother.
The suspect struck on January 17th, January 29th and February 1st investigators say. The report states that Winsett gave some scratch-off tickets to his brother and his girlfriend following the January 29th robbery.
A few days later they cashed in some winning tickets at a 7-11 location in Palm Harbor.
Winsett was arrested following an interview with detectives late Thursday night. He allegedly told investigators he gave the tickets to his brother to pay off a debt.
The suspect is no stranger to law enforcement. Winsett has been arrested on two previous occasions. In 2010 he was arrested in Pasco County on an auto burglary charge and in the same year he was arrested in Pinellas County on dealing in stolen property charges.
He is currently facing two counts of burglary, one count of robbery and one count of dealing with stolen property.

A full-fledged good time during the full moon event!
A full-fledged good time during the full moon event!
Once again, there will be a heaping helping of fun and action with every full moon. During this full moon, the auction house will be launched but, in the future, the events will be much more action-packed.
On our Full Moon Event map, for instance, be prepared to face strong-as-ox monsters and rousing battles! And although a hearty battle at sea is reward enough for any self-respecting pirate, you'll also have special items coming your way, like the exclusive event harpoons.
When you have time, familiarize yourself with the lunar calendar on your personal Pirate Storm site.
Of course, recurring events usually have a fascinating background that explains how it became the exceptional event that it is. Und den könnt Ihr nun hier lesen:
The Legacy of the Eisenkiel
Centuries ago, a group of Druids kept close watch on the sea. They would perform a ritual under every full moon that was meant to appease the Queen of the Sea, the immense sea serpent Hydrophis. When the powers of the moon and the Druids' incantations united, the creatures from the deepest depths of the sea were lured to the surface of the water and were offered up as their Queen's sacrifice. Spared her wrath, Hydrophis granted mankind safe passage across the seas. During this ritual, the Druids used a crystal called Everglimmer that commanded terrific mythical powers.
A greedy pirate named Flint Eisenkiel heard tell of this crystal and sought to make it his own. Therefore, he decided to steal Everglimmer from the Druids while they performed the full moon ritual. The consequences of this cursed deed could not only be deadly for him but for the Druids, as well. So displeased was Hydrophis with the meddling pirate and the incompetent Druids that she killed and put a curse on the heads of all of them. They were damned to be the audience of their own weaknesses for the rest of time.
Since then, at every full moon a spectral ship containing the soul of Flint Eisenkell sails towards to the island where some of the Druids held their rituals. Like their ancestors before them, the druids perform their ritual calling the wrathful sea goddess to the surface of the water, but the loss of the Everglimmer only fans the flame of her anger. And so it came to pass that to this day, sailors avoid setting sail when the moon is full.

In the sky this week…
> Mars is very low in the Southwest after sunset.
> Jupiter rises around 6 pm and Venus around 5 am.
>The Moon will reach First Quarter on the 20th.
In the library at our observatory we have a model of a chunk of space. The stars are various coloured balls hanging on strings, and everything is to scale. At one end of this model there is a little ball representing the Earth. If you look at the model from the Earth's position you see the constellation of Orion, "The Hunter", which we can see for real in the eastern sky these evenings. From any other direction the pattern is completely different.
The patterns of stars we have made into constellations are simply what we see from our position in space. The stars are far enough away for those constellations to look the same from anywhere in the Solar System, but from a planet orbiting another star the sky would look different.
One other property of constellations is something anyone trying to learn them will have commented on; how could someone in our past have seen that object in that scattering of stars? Why do most constellations look nothing like what they are supposed to represent? Orion looks something like a man wearing a tunic, with a belt and a sword. However, Cygnus, "The Swan" looks like a big cross; Sagittarius, "The Archer" looks like a teapot; Hercules, the mythical hero looks like a big tombstone; Cassiopeia, "The Queen of Ethiopia", looks like a big "W", and Capricorn, "The Sea-Goat", looks a lot like a boat. On the other hand, "Leo", a spring constellation, looks quite a lot like a crouching lion, and these evenings, just below Andromeda, are three stars forming the constellation Triangulum, "The Triangle". That one looks just like the object it is supposed to represent, and Scorpius does look quite like a scorpion.
The familiar seven-star grouping called in various countries "The Big Dipper", "The Plough", "Charles' Wain", or simply "The Saucepan" is not included because it is not a constellation; it is merely part of the constellation of "The Great Bear", which of course does not look much like a bear.
Making constellations out of random scatterings of stars is not just something our ancestors did. In the last three hundred years or so, explorers from the Northern Hemisphere going south of the equator saw stars they had never seen before, and set up new constellations there. These include, Centaurus, "The Centaur"; Microscopium, "The Microscope"; Musca, "The Fly"; Sextans, The Sextant"; Mensa, "The Table" and Volans, "The Flying Fish". As per normal, none of these look like what they represent, and some of the naming seems less romantic than is the case in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Cross looks something like a cross, but more like a kite. Intriguingly, the Southern Hemisphere a triangle too: three stars forming Triangulum Australis, "The Southern Triangle".
All over the world people have made constellations out of the stars in the night sky. Maybe this is part of making the great unknown more comforting or comprehensible. However irrational or illogical, putting our myths in the sky has made astronomy a much more fascinating subject. Not only does the sky contain its own mysteries, but it also says interesting things about us.

WAUKESHA, WI (WTAQ) - Parents in the Waukesha School District say the book "Looking for Alaska" by John Green contains inappropriate language and advanced sexual content.
Nonetheless, after a school board committee meeting held Friday night, that book is still available to students.
Ellen Cox says she doesn't think the book is suitable for middle or high school students. It was recommended reading for her daughter by an AP English teacher.
The parents can appeal Friday's decision by the board of education.
Two other books are also being challenged by parents – "The Kite Runner" and "Chinese Handcuffs."

Savory item for a bakeoff?
- b
- betterbeheaven Feb 18, 2012 12:00 AM
My office is having a bakeoff next week, and I'm leaning towards bringing something savory to provide some relief from the sweets.
What are some baked goods that are savory that don't need too much reheating (we have a toaster oven)? I was thinking about doing empanadas. Someone already signed up for quiche. Maybe spanakopita? I have lots of filo dough, though I suppose that would be "cheating"...I'm not really fussed about being in the contest and trying to win, just want to bring something to contribute.
I'm especially interested in anything that can be made ahead or has some make-ahead components, as I won't be getting home until 9pm the night before the bakeoff.
How about a tart made from a sheet of puff pastry with caramelised onions on top? You can add olives and / or anchovies depending on your colleagues' tastes - i think it's better at room temp. Or you could do cheese scones, perhaps with slices of ham or prosciutto and / or chutney; or even cheese muffins (I have a fail-safe, yummy recipe I could post if you like). Alternatively I'd suggest a 'flip-over' pie which starts with a sheet of pastry, plenty of filling consisting of sliced cooked potato, ham and cheese bound with some sour cream and mustard, then you just fold over the pastry and seal along one long edge. Bake and serve at room temp.
I don't think filo is cheating at all. Here's a bundt torte that is really delicious. Some CHers have said they reduced the amount of butter with good results.
Pasted in "In case you'd like a savory recipe, here's one from the NYT that I've made a few times. The recipe in the NYT link is accurate; the link to Ciaochowlinda has pictures. It's very rich and buttery and a small slice goes a long way, but it is very easy to make and absolutely delicious. Don't be afraid of the amount of dill -- it makes the dish. You definitely need a crowd to help polish this off!"
Also, there are the puff pastry twists sprinkled with Parmesan, old standard cheese straws, blue cheese and pecan (or walnut) bites with a nutmeat pressed on top or made thumbprint style with a dab of fig jam. The last two doughs could be made ahead and just baked off the night before.
re: hotoynoodle
I don't think that's supposed to resemble spanakopita or spinach pie; it's closer to a Tiropita, mostly cheese.
I'd just go ahead and make the spanakopeta - everyone loves it and if you're not invested in winning, I don't see a problem. You could also do picadillo casserole with layers of filo,and you could make the filling 2 days ahead, then just assemble. I'm sure it will all be delicious, whatever you choose. Oh, and I just saw a recipe for a sort of wild-rice casserole/mushroom/onion pie made with filo; starchy and delicious. :)
Maybe a savory galette. There's a great one on Smittenkitchen.com http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/10/but...
re: mitzy1400
I was thinking of a savory galette too.
Also, one of my favorite savory baked goods to make (I've brought them up here before) is a batch of bacon-cheddar-apple muffins. Just your basic buttermilk corn muffin batter, sweetened with a little grade B maple syrup, and crumpled bacon, shredded cheddar and a little diced granny smith baked in. Not nearly as high-brow as some of these other suggestions but bacon is always a crowd pleaser! And they're pretty easy and don't need to be re-heated.
Was watching Ina yesterday and she and TR were doing a duo of shopping chores. Ina was making the food and TR was buying some of it. I'm thinking to promote his lovely face and get him some tv commercial time. Either way, she made chicken pot pies using a pie crust that just happened to be in the freezer or frig. I have seen chicken pot pies using phillo dough many times, thinking one was on Nigella's show, yea, it was.
Ina's version of her filling seemed very good to me, good sized chunks of roasted chicken breasts and a nice light colored almost yellowish gravy plus easy veggies like carrots and frozen peas. I may be all wrong here but I've made my fair share of chicken pot pies and they can present a struggle. Too thick of a filling or too thin, to many veggies or not typical ones you'd usually find. To add potatoes or not? My sons favorite one was always Hamburger Hamlets in Westwood Village by UCLA. Why? Because it really contained a strong flavor or garlic and always arrived piping hot...was so so good.
You can always either make her crust recipe featured here too or use that wonderful phillo you already have. Either way, you'll no doubt receive high marks.
Make a pizza rustica. It is like an Italian quiche except larger and made in a spring form pan. I would post the recipe except I am away from home and not at my computer. However, I have posted both the recipe and photos here previously, so if you do a search,myou will find it. Think of every delicious Italian ingredient from ricotta to salami to prosciutto to mozzarella, etc, put them all together and bake. Pure deliciousness!
spanokopita is a crowd-pleaser always, and delicious at room temp. i use copious amounts of fresh dill and mint in mine, plus lemon zest.
instead of coating the layers with melted butter, i spray with pam. it makes for a substantially lighter finished product. i also do it jelly roll style and it's easy to slice into small servings that way, for finger food.
i also use filo with a duxelles/goat cheese filling.
For quick, easy and delicious, I'm not sure you can beat scones. Maybe gussied up with some classic flavor combination, like cheddar and scallions (or cheddar and jalapeno), caramelized onion and gruyere, or goat cheese and sun dried tomato pieces.
If you use your phyllo, I'm sure no one will consider you a cheater. :)
These parmesan and thyme crackers are really understated and elegant. You can make the dough ahead of time, then slice and bake the night before: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/in...
My preference is always for chicken pot-pie. I make one quite similar to Thomas Keller's from Ad Hoc at home, and it always turns out great. Gougeres are another easy option, and quite different from the usual baked good. Now that I'm thinking about it, garlicky and/or cheesy bread bites would certainly be amazing.
I think philo might be cheating, depending on how seriously others take the bake-off.
How about making Gougeries? They're easy, can be made in advance and just need heating up. They also happen to be delicious.
There are lots of recipes on the net for them, but in essence they are just choux pastry with the addition of a sharp cheese. Easy.
Thank you everyone for the ideas! ....I ended up going the sweet route because a lot of folks actually signed up for savories, and it seemed easier to make a simple dessert (though cheese straws was a good idea too, in terms of minimal work). I made scotcheroos (http://annies-eats.com/2011/02/18/pea...) which I didn't realize were a Midwestern thing until someone in my office told me. The whole pan got eaten up, but I wasn't really a big fan myself -- too heavy, too much honey.
Incidentally, the best thing IMO at the bakeoff was a savory galette with sweet potatoes and blue cheese.
Will be making the spanakopita for a friend's party this Friday night instead.

Traditionally, it was cooked with an entire old fighting cock, head and feet still attached. The cock was removed before serving the soup, to be eaten later as a main course. Leeks were thrown in for flavor, and a mysterious, subtle flavor was added with a handful of chopped dried plums (prunes.) Many who've tasted this dish have called it the best chicken soup they've ever had,
1 whole chicken ( a 3-4 lb. fryer )
1 coarse chopped onion or 1 tblspoon dried onion flakes
3 bay leaves
4 garlic cloves unpeeled
3 leeks (or 2 onions), chopped
6 medium carrots cut into pennies
5 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon Peppercorns
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 whole cloves
Salt and pepper
3 quarts water
1/4 cup barley
2 dried plums or prunes diced
Stew the chicken with the onion bay leaves and garlic in a large soup pot for 45 minutes.
Strain Stock into another pot and reserve.
After the chicken cools a bit pick the meat, chop and reserve.
Cook all the remaining ingredients except barley until vegetables are almost tender, 30-60 minutes. Add barley , prunes and cook 30 minutes until barley is tender
Add the Chicken meat and simmer 10 minutes.
Serves 10.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter is in the sixth grade at JAMS. I do not recommend this school to parents of children in Special Education. I feel that this school could be much better if the financial resources that are available were implemented. I am however impressed by the music program. This is the only thing that impresses me about this school.
I went to this school for the first 2 weeks but then dropped out to be with my friends at Paul Revere. I honestly don;t know why. I loved John Adams, it was so fun and the teachers were absolutely excekllent and I strongly reccomend this school. Small class size, great teachers, and overall excellence. I am in 6th grade and made a big mistake switching. But JAMS is just great.
I moved to the Santa Monica school district because they are known to be excellent schools. My child is not making the same kind of academic progress that she made in our prior home of Arlington, Virginia, and the teachers don't seem to have the same interest in the students. There seems to be a general apathy between the students and the teachers, but overall, the school appears to be better than the options in Los Angeles.
The school is good overall. The teachers are dedicated in the progress of your child. They have a really good website. You can check your childs grades and assignments. Very informative.
I have 4 children at JAMS and I truly love the results given of my 3 eight graders of their last 2yrs at JAMS, I have a 6th grader and she loves JAMS especially her teachers who put so much into the learning and how the teachers keep into contact with parents. thank you so much teachers and staff for everything you do for our kids.
JAMS is a great school! My son has some of the most dedicated teachers I have ever met. He is involved their music program,Ms.Woo and Ms.Hardisty are amazing,encouraging teachers.The science magnet program is incredible going to Yosemite in 7th grade and Astro camp in 8th, along with everything else they do throughout the year. Our experience has been one of a private school without the eliteism. And its incedibly multiculteral, a great reflection of our world today.

KENNEBUNK, ME — Some teachers and staff at The Middle School of the Kennebunks are hoping for workers'' compensation and relocation because of concerns over air quality and mold inside the school, according to WMTW-TV.
Staff members said poor construction around windows and in other parts of the nine-year-old building has caused repeated leaks, mold and other issues, the article noted.
"Some of the faculty and staff have developed long term respiratory problems. Two to three people have been removed from work," attorney Mark Cloutier said.
Cloutier represents 19 teachers and staff who are seeking workers'' compensation to pay for lost time and health care expenses they said are related to mold or air quality issues, the article stated.
According to the article, School Superintendent Andrew Dolloff said the health of students and staff is his priority, and that''s why he said the district has spent $675,000 addressing the issues and adhering to a list of 20 recommendations made by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, as well directives from two other consultants.

Feminization is a set of practices or events that take place for a male recipient that make him appear or function in a more female manner. Feminization is often used by mistresses or dominatrices to subject their slaves to a form of humiliation. ProDomme.com will address feminization as an entity within the BDSM community, reflect on practices that might occur in a typical feminization scenario and address other important pieces of information with regard to the sexual fetish of feminization.
Other Feminization References
Feminization is sometimes referred to as sissification, and is most commonly associated with men that desire to be turned into women as a form of humiliation. The primary reason why males feel humiliated from being feminized relates to the fact that a challenge to their gender identity is made when they go through the process. It is often instructed upon them by a mistress and throughout the course of the activity, the male subject might experience some of the following actions to further enhance their experience as a sissy.
Using language that is directed toward a female might be the first course of action and is the most common tool used by mistresses to instigate and assist with feminization. For instance, sentences such as "you look like a little girl", "I like your dress, pretty lady" or "clean my shoes you girly bitch" might be used by a dominatrix to make the personal experience of a slave and the relationship they have to being female that much easier.
Secondly, clothing and related artifacts are often employed by mistresses so that they can truly help a slave feel as if they are female. Wearing female clothing, not exclusively underwear, is a common tactic. Putting on dresses, high heels and other items can be used to feminize a man and often provide the simplest way of sissification. Additionally, items such as tiaras and handbags might be given to a servant so that they can fully experience the life of a female. Makeup including lipstick, eye shadow and blusher regularly features in sessions of feminization as well.
Men that desire to be feminized do not necessarily have any desire to be treated as a woman on a permanent basis, nor do they intrinsically feel as if they have a feminine side to them. Quite often, it is the manliest of men that are often feminized by mistresses. A common misconception is that it is mainly effeminate men that seek the service, although this is rarely the case.
At ProDomme.com, we openly support salves and servants alike that have a genuine interest in being subjected to a session of sissification. If you believe that you would find great joy in being made to dress, look, talk and act like a woman by a professional dominatrix, our archive of mistress adverts is surely the best way for you to go about turning your feminization fantasy into a reality.

I'm getting ready for the oscar night.
Energy drink & Coke: check.
Food: check.
Oscar Bingo: check.
Tumblr&Twitter: check.
Sleep is overrated!
My decision concerning the STYG Videos I captured in Karlsruhe few days ago is to do some kind of double feature on both vimeo and also on my new youtube account I created last week.
So on Vimeo you will find the video of 'Amber', and on Youtube you'll be viewing 'What Goes Around' each containing a link to each other. Why? I'm sure this will gain more attention than only using one platform or only using one video on both. The other reason ist hat I wanted to figure out how a grayscaled video would turn out.
I just edited some nice opening and ending titles using one of my favourite fonts called 'League Gothic'. You can download it for free on The League of Moveable Type. In my opinion titles are connotations of high quality. E.g. the fact that somebody had some work with them.
Both videos are still uploading. I'm going to post them here, so be sure checking out my tumblr in the next days and hours.
Thanks dude,
you'll love it - the bands are in top condition and the setlists are burners!
If you enjoyed the Break Even vid I'm sure you'll also like the upcoming stuff I'm going to be uploading during the next days.
I just had an absolute great idea for a 7 minute long compilation video of one of my very favorite series. This may gain many followers. And everyone will cry.
And I will cry the most, because it will be so much work. Watching 5000 minutes (= 84 hours) of videos. And then cut it. Outch. Will it be worth it? I don't know.
I just spent 65 Euro on 30 movies, some of them having bonus discs. Was it a good deal or was it pure madness? Or is it a win for the film industry that a few movies are copied legally instead of being ripped or streamed?
I fear the bad thing about it will be that in the end they just fill my shelves. Or is this a good thing because an empty DVD shelf looks incredible poor when you say you love movies?
I really don't know how to answer these questions. But I know there will be movies. And there will be some nice guys to join me watching some classics.
I'm preparing my first real shot. In about 18 hours my buddys of 'The Haverbrook Disaster' will be having a gig and I'm going with them to capture a live video for their latest single 'Mr No Regrets'.
Nothing special - just practising under real circumstances. Gaining experience is what I'm intending to do.
Directing music videos can be a ladder to "real" filmmaking. Just think about the many directors who started in the music industry. It's such a big market. Nowadays every band has the possibilities because good equipment is getting less expensive and knowlegde is shared via the internet.
I also plan to do some music videos to start my career and I' convinced that I'm one of a thousand with this intention. So I have to be the best out of a thousand to reach the next step in filmmaking career. Always aiming for the best.
Another possibility is making yourself a name in the advertising industry. Zack Snyder has been in this business before he created those visual orgasms like Watchmen or 300. Thinking about music videos and advertising leads me to a name I discovered in June 2009. Dougal Wilson. But this is another story.
So for the next days I will post some music videos I recently saw and liked. This will also reveal my musical taste, haha.
