If you've ever experimented with chorizo, the pork sausage cured with paprika and garlic, you know how persuasive its full aroma and deep clinging heat can be. You might have sliced it up and stirred it into paella, chopped it into little cubes that were swept up into an omelet or infused it in stew to give it a smoky edge. Its robust flavor and warm, tingly spice were distinctive, giving everything it touched the feel of Spanish cooking.
But what you may not have noticed is that the chorizo was not from Spain. For a long time, chorizo was not approved for importing. In 1997 the Department of Agriculture and the Spanish government gave one chorizo maker, Palacios, from Rioja, permission, but it wasn't until last October that chorizo began entering in any quantity. Now, stores can't seem to get enough of it. The chorizo, which comes in long, firm sausages and shorter, slightly denser links, is in grocery stores like Butterfield Market, Fairway and Citarella in Manhattan.
If you have never been to Spain and nibbled on slivers of chorizo before dinner, the Palacios will be a revelation. When you taste it, you suddenly realize all the compromises you made. American chorizo brands like Quijote and Corte's are good, hearty sausages. But they are nothing like those from Spain, which are smoky, earthy, sweet and quite tangy.
Sausages are often used as a background flavor. They give body to meat sauces, form the base for stuffings and, rich as they are, can be rendered for sautéing. But chorizo departs from most others in one aspect: its flavor is so powerful that it does not influence a dish subtly. It burns its imprint into its very foundation. It will streak scrambled eggs with its orange oils and make them so full and rich that you would not think of adding a single other ingredient. It can make a thin broth feel hearty, and can wrap sautéed potatoes with layers of roasted spices and garlic.
In many ways chorizo is a distillation of the core ingredients — peppers, garlic and pork — in Spanish cuisine, and in essence a distillation of its terroir. This came clear to me last spring as a friend and I approached Jabugo, a small village buried in a blanket of clouds about two hours northwest of Seville. Winding our way to the town, we took in lush hills speckled with pigs, freely roaming, their snouts foraging in thick grasses beneath gnarled holm oaks and cork oaks.
The period from late fall through early spring is called the montanera, or acorn season, when pigs feed on the acorns of these trees, each eating about 22 to 26 pounds of acorns a day. The Iberian pig, which is descended from the wild boar of southern Europe, is not a handsome specimen. It has drooping ears, a long snout, thin legs and dark hair. But its meat has a dense striping of fat and intense flavor, which produces the most sought-after cured hams in Spain.
In Jabugo, a town with modest charm, there was no mistaking the main trade. A warm, sweet smoke filled the air. Sánchez Romero Carvajal, one of the largest cured pork producers in the area, sat on the edge of town in a large building built in 1901. It was oddly civilized for a factory, with a central courtyard for employee breaks and long tiled hallways.
The pigs are brought into Sánchez Romero when they are 14 to 16 months old. Once slaughtered, the legs are cured in a two- to three-year process for jamón Ibérico. The loins are made into caña de lomo, and the meat from the shoulder is used to make chorizo. It is an incredibly simple process. The meat is ground, then mixed with paprika, garlic, salt and a dash of sherry in a machine that thunders and churns. The spiced meat marinates overnight before being stuffed into casings and tied.
The next part is controlled largely by nature. The workers at the factory simply respond. The sausages are hung close together on the ceiling of a large, dim room. The roof is made of tiles, spaced so that you can see tiny bits of light through the cracks. There are screens on the windows but no glass. When it is hot and dry, the windows are closed, and burlap mats are soaked in water and laid on the floor of the curing rooms. When it is cold, the shutters are closed. At all times, a gentle, smoldering oak fire sits in a low barrel on the floor.
The air is dense and moist, and all you hear is the crackle of the wood. The men move the barrels and rearrange the sausages as the curing progresses. It takes a few weeks to cure chorizo and sometimes up to four months, depending on the size and the time of year. During that time, the meat dries and absorbs the smoke — smoke from the very wood whose fruit flavors the meat.
Not all chorizo is made in exactly the same way. Each region has its own tics. In fact, some producers, including Palacios, do not actually smoke their sausages. But even air-cured chorizo like these have a mysteriously smoky quality.
Jesús García, the export manager for Sánchez Romero, said: "With chorizo, we are talking about a type of sausage. For us chorizo means pork, fat and paprika."
And sometimes, oregano, nutmeg and hot paprika, too.
"Of course," he added, "paprika was not known until the New World was discovered, but there were other sausages. You can still find today in Spain chorizo without paprika. It's called white chorizo."
Like all foods with terroir, the chorizo tastes a little bit of the air and the earth, the very character of the region. All of this makes for a flavor distinguishable from almost any other chorizo. The Palacios chorizo has everything but the Iberian pork.
No slaughterhouses in Spain have won approval from American authorities. Like other Spanish companies that export pork products to the United States, Palacios must import the pork from approved slaughterhouses in other European countries. Their pork comes from Denmark, and is cured using the Spanish method.
Because of the strict standards, Palacios is just one of three Spanish companies exporting cured pork products to the United States. "The problem," Mr. García of Sánchez Romero explained, "is the American authorities do not recognize the European Union's standards for production. They want companies to follow their own standards. And some companies do not want to change. We already sell around the world. We don't need to sell in the U.S."
And so this could be why the trade has not yet blossomed. But if New York City grocery stores are any indication, demand could be very much like that for Italian cured meats, which after a slow start have flooded the market over the last two decades. (Outside of specialty markets, Palacios is available at www.tienda.com, a Spanish foods Web site. Or you may call Palacios in Miami at 305 758-1089.)
Even lacking the Iberian pork, Palacios chorizo, either sweet or hot, is far superior to American brands like Conte's, which is springy and mild, and to the firm, sweet Quijote, which is quite good but markedly different. Not all the chorizos in the United States are made to mimic the Spanish. You can find Mexican chorizo, which has a finer texture and forceful heat, and sometimes Portuguese chorizo, which is softer.
The best way to get a feel for Spanish chorizo (and one of the best dishes I discovered) is to blend it with eggs. I scattered slivers of chorizo in a nonstick pan and heated them until they began to sizzle. Then I added a little olive oil, cracked eggs into the pan and began stirring quickly, swirling the eggs around the pan and folding them over each other until just barely cooked.
The fat in the chorizo coats the eggs, brightening them to a saffron yellow. And there is something about the chorizo that makes the eggs taste hearty and almost creamy. You will find this dish in Spain, where it is called revueltos de chorizo. Or, often, it is added to tortilla, which is more like an omelet. Because the eggs are not moved around the pan, though, the flavor of the chorizo is less dominant.
It is helpful to think of chorizo in terms of bacon or garlic: a pungent flavor that you can add at the beginning of cooking to scent the dish. Spanish cooks sometimes treat chorizo more like a bouquet garni, or a bouillon cube. Every region seems to have a simmered bean dish, and invariably chorizo is added to the beans as they simmer. The beans soak up the chorizo's racy tang and garlic, and together they become smoky, faintly spicy and mellow. If you add other meats and a few vegetables, you have something not too far from cassoulet.
These all seem like natural pairings, but chorizo is perhaps best with something you might never think of, fish and shellfish. You can add it to the pan with cockles or clams as you steam them open. You can slip slices of it into grouper like cloves of garlic in a leg of lamb, as Daniel Orr, the chef at Guastavino, does before sautéing it. Or you can simply render its fat and sprinkle the pungent orange juices over roasted cod. The chorizo adds background flavor and a kind of intangible body and definition to these dishes. It is too bad the Spanish do not have a word for umami.
Before Palacios chorizo began arriving from Spain, Patricia Yeo, the chef at AZ, had been seeking that elusive flavor. She had given up on domestic brands and began making her own. She marinates cubes of pork shoulder and pork belly in a mixture of paprika, garlic, brown sugar, Aleppo pepper and salt, then grinds the meat, packs it into lamb casings and smokes it. I altered her method a little for my kitchen. I used smoked paprika and skipped the casings, preferring to use it crumbled. It's very easy, and an excellent alternative, worth relying on if your store doesn't yet carry Palacios.
But if things continue to go well, you won't have to worry anyway. Palacios chorizo has, at the very least, cracked open the door to importing. And there are many more delicious cured meats behind it. There is caña de lomo, a sublime cured loin; morcón, which is similar to chorizo, only a little fatter; morcillas, the tasty blood sausages; and enough other creations to use up every part of the pig. They are just waiting for our government to catch up with Americans' appetite for it all.

An innovative way to carry your baby around – up to 18 months!
For many people, using a sling or carrier in the early months of their baby's life is a useful way to keep flexible when travelling (no huge pushchair to lug) and to keep baby reassuringly close. For more about the differences between slings and carriers, go to the Buyer's Guide to Slings and Carriers.
The Prémaxx Baby-Bag lasts longer
Some models of sling and carrier can be used for longer than just a few months, but the adaptability of the new Prémaxx Baby-Bag means it can convert from being a close-to sling when your baby is small, but change into a hip seat carrier as your baby grows, taking the weight of an infant up to around 18 months old!
Suitable as a sling from birth (2kgs), the Baby-Bag can be positioned so that a new baby is in a safe recline position as you get about - whether you want your hands free around the house, or you are out and about nipping into shops, on the bus, on holiday or whatever, without the need for wheels.
Well designed for baby's comfort and yours
The Prémaxx has an integral soft, padded based which helps support even a young baby's back and neck, and which also affords the infant a good amount of room. (Some material-only slings do tend to swaddle a baby very close-to. Obviously some people like this feature, while others will prefer the freedom the Prémaxx affords.)
The position for new babies is said to be 'the fetal position', so it's a familiar sensation for your new child. Up to five months, this laying position is used, and after around five months onwards your child can sit up safely in it.
The straps are easy to adjust, so even when parents of differing heights are using it regularly, it doesn't take a minute to get it set to ensure the minimum back strain.
The Prémaxx Baby-Bag complies with safety standard EN13209-2/2005. It's made from 100 per cent cotton and is machine washable.
It is available in a range of colours, from functional greys and blues, to bright stripes, pinks and oranges.
The Baby-Bag has an RPP of £34.95. For UK stockist details, go to www.homeandnursery.com.

With concern mounting over Iran's nuclear program, the U.S. and allies in the region are adding bunker-busting bombs designed to penetrate hardened targets from the air. In a television interview on December 19, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta noticeably toughened his previous stance.
Laser-guided bomb
Hawker Beechcraft completed a series of weapons delivery tests from its AT-6 light attack and reconnaissance aircraft, dropping eight laser-guided bombs as part of an ongoing operational assessment by the U.S. Ai
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is showing off its latest precision-guided munition here at Le Bourget.
Lockheed Martin last month secured a $30 million contract from the U.S. Air Force for more "paveway" II laser-guided bomb (LGB) kits. Why the use of lower-case to describe this well known "smart" weapon, many thousands of which have been dropped from Western combat aircraft? It's because LM and Raytheon compete as a dual-source suppliers of the LGB kits, and the two corporations are in a long-running legal dispute over terminology.
Just as those responsible for fighting wars now talk in terms of "effects"–as opposed to material assets–when discussing battle management and the equipment available to them, so defense contractors increasingly talk about "solutions" rather than products.

While the Chrome OS looks nice and the whole cloud computing concept seems to be the way of the future. I do not like being in a contract or tied to a particular piece of hardware. There is a free open source Chromium based Cloud OS you can get right now that can be run from any laptop, and to me it looks a lot better like this...
"Show of hands, who plans on picking one up?"
You forgot to add the "-By optimus" line after you quote yourself, optimus. This way tt's hard to know you were the one who wrote your comment.
I'd love to get a Chromebook, but there's no money atm. :(
I'm taking the more prudent course and waiting for additional reviews about the Chromebook before I decide to buy one. The higher than expected price is a major turn-off for me.
The price killed it for me.
Certainly won't be purchasing one here. I would much rather duel boot the OS on an existing machine.
I have one of the beta CR-48's. If you're intimidated by Linux, and even Windows, but comfortable with a phone or web-browser... the Chromebook may be for you. If you're a tech-geek, like pretty much everyone here... you're at least going to want to dual-boot an OS that gives you local apps (as you're probably not needing the "BIOS will re-image you if pwn'd" feature anyway... especially if you're a user of a different Linux flavor).
I give kudos to Google for sticking their neck out on this one. I wish them lots of success, but I don't see the market being significant (though I travel in IT-literate circles). At least, I don't see a significant market at the price-point their partners are setting.
I've managed to not switch my unit into dev-mode or do anything untowardly all this time, so that I could give them good feedback... but it's killing me. I think I'm going to make this thing dual-boot Ubuntu 11.10 next weekend.
Y so mean EHarler! :D
raise of hands?... nvm :D Its cool and all but much rather get a normal laptop or desktop :)
Nope no hands up to consider an actual purchase
but gottta give it the ol for releasing something a bit different as a mainstream alternative with the ChromeOS .
Sure we heard comments before about purchasing net/note/laps before with-out the OS installed,Could be a blessing in disguise for some to consider alternatives .At least try some modern open source systems, breathe new life into something they already have, & install a crisp modern OS system on it for a heck of a lot less.
likely not to hear any of that from Best Buy or Amazon.
But in HH some multi-booty action ! oh yeah .
Id have to go with 3vi1 on this, yeah it looks cool, but i honestly dont see myself buying another notebook just for the OS. Besides, i already dual boot with linux, and cloud storage isnt really a big thing for me, id rather have it on hand, safer that way. It is pretty good lookin, but i think my money is going to a PSVita instead.

Tiger Woods tees off at Delhi Golf Club amid fanfare
New Delhi: Legendary golfer Tiger Woods teed off amid much fanfare during an exhibition match at a rather hushed-up private event here at the Delhi Golf Club (DGC), on Tuesday.
Dressed in a blue tee-shirt, black trousers and white cap, Tiger started off with a wonderful shot straight down the middle, while his second shot landed on the green.
World No. 1 missed an eagle putt but birdied the par 5 hole. In the second hole, Tiger landed a shot just four feet away from the pin to miss it by a whisker.
Tiger is being brought to India by Hero MotoCorp, whose CEO and Managing Director, Pawan Munjal is a known golf supporter and player.
He is supposed to play a few holes with Munjal and some of his guests.
Before Tiger started off with his lucrative exhibition round, TV presenter Alan Wilkins asked the veteran golfer if he was nervous, and he joked: "Ya, I am nervous."
The President of Indian Indian Golf Union, meanwhile, presented Tiger with a memento as a token for his first visit to India.
More than 2000 people were present at the golf course to get a glimpse of the World No. 1 golfer.
Cricketers in Madal Lal and Murali Karthik were also among the invitees.
World Sport Group had negotiated with Tiger's management to arrange for his visit to the country.

PRINCE CASPIAN one-sheet debut - behold Eddie Izzard awesome rodentry!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... It seems that PRINCE CASPIAN is steaming it's way towards us and everything I've seen on it points towards a more sinister, darker rendition of that war-torn land of Narnia. All those cute critters and they just arm themselves and hack at it. What's the purpose? I suppose if you gave the gift of gab to the critters of the forest, they'd all get to screaming at one another about feeding on their nephew or cousin... it'd be a furry Hatfield-McCoy scenario pretty quick. But man... you start giving every critter a working gripping thumb... and armor and metal. Damn... that'd get real nasty real quick. Well, this "Exclusive" One Sheet debut reveals a new heroic and intensely violent rodent given weaponry and a slashing tongue. That's right - right there is Reepicheep, officially debuting on this here one sheet. He's being voiced in the film by Eddie Izzard - and I've seen him in action at Butt-Numb-A-Thon 9 - he wasn't quite complete yet, but the action showed him being pretty darn violent with that blade of his. Click on the below poster for a more biggum version. Enjoy...

Reep == Cyrano-level badassery. {g} As for tagline...
by JasonPratt
...yes, it is in fact unutterably lame. (What was the original tagline for Fellowship of the Ring? Something not as overreaching but ultimately as forgettable....) I do know why they used it, though: Caspian grows up in a time hundreds of years in the future (Narnia timeline) when human immigrants have pushed out the magic and run the talking animals/dwarves/et.al underground (figuratively and literally). Caspian learns his family, despite some goodguys here and there, are actually the oppressors, and slowly learns there are still talking badgers and dwarves and kickass rodentry (Reep is one of many, descended from the mice who chewed off Aslan's ropes in the first story) and, uh, dryads and Maenads (wonder if _those_ are in the movie! The river god there is a goodguy, sort of, btw. Actually Lewis is ambivalent about these things being good or evil--in an essay he called them "neutrals knocking around"--but still thinks the world is a better place with them than without them. Like most of his fantasy work, it's a love letter to paganism in many regards. {s}) *** Anyway, the tagline ought to read "Everything he knows is about to change forever", I guess. But that wouldn't be engaging the viewer or whatever. As if the marketing people thought viewers were going to mistake this for DaVincCode 2 or something.

I gotta flip through the books again, but
by Grammaton Cleric Binks
I'm pretty sure that Peter is older than Caspian. Though I don't believe his exact age isn't given one of the reasons he does not fight his uncle is because he would think it a silly challenge from a child. I want to say he's closer to Edmund's age or younger, but I could be wrong.

by Gorgomel
sorry couldn't help it!
Jan. 30, 2008, 4:10 p.m. CST
Gram: actually, it's because Peter outranks Casp.
by JasonPratt
They're about the same age in the book otherwise. But the kids start to reacquire the skills they had learned during their previous years in Narnia, so the fact of the matter (as Peter proves when the question is in doubt, iirc) is that Peter also is a better swordsman than Casp. But the ranking is the first reason; Peter is still technically first among the High Kings (_all_ four children outrank Caspian (strictly speaking). Consequently, to settle a bout between armies it has to be Peter in the duel (the good-guys are badly outnumbered and trying to buy time while Aslan wakes up a bunch of things, iirc). *** To be honest, in the book I don't recall Caspian doing that much once the rebellion kicks off; he's more like a figurehead for the troops to rally around. He's a lot more proactive in the sequel, partly because he's older (and has been officially king for a while.)
Jan. 30, 2008, 4:14 p.m. CST
Narnia - Churchgoers = ?
by critch
Will be interesting to see how this movie does without a bunch of Jesus Freaks backing it. No obvious Christian parallels in this one, and the trailer looked like Two Towers redux.
Jan. 30, 2008, 4:17 p.m. CST
Sure, I kow he outranks him.
by Grammaton Cleric Binks
and you're right, it all goes back to him being the High King. It's just that from several of his actions in the book Caspian appears somewhat childish, more so than Peter, so I think he is younger. Ugh, now I really want to go and re-read. You're right though, there was not a whole lot done until the Pevenses (sp?) arrived, and they wouldn't have been called if they weren't needed in the first place.
Jan. 30, 2008, 4:27 p.m. CST
Uh, yeah, looks kinda dull.

Jan. 30, 2008, 4:48 p.m. CST
for those slow people.. the tag line means...
by seekshelter
that the world that was set up in the previous film that ended all happy ... is now gone since it does take place long after the events in the first film. the kids returning to narnia will have to adjust since the happy world that they had left has now been destroyed.... duh..

Christian parallels? Get a clue critch
by AntoniusBloc
Narnia is not allegory, as Lewis himself states, but it does have more obvious Christian themes and messages since Aslan IS God, taking the form of Aslan for the sake of the children. It definitely makes the case for the Christian philosophy and supports many of the apologetics written by Lewis. If you read deeper into the book, you'll find Caspian to be full of Christian themes, and makes a great case for the logical belief in the miraculous and against the skeptic. If the writer and director understood the deep message Lewis was trying to get across with Caspian, this will be a great film, with a stronger Christian message than the first film. Also, I still don't get many who didn't like the first film. It definitely could have been better, but still a great film in my opinion, hardly bland or boring.I recently watched the extended version, and it did improve it somewhat, especially the battle scene. I never saw any of the Shrek films, but Adamson impressed me with his first live action film.
Jan. 30, 2008, 5:39 p.m. CST

Seriously-this move sucked B I G T I M E. The part, where I realzied that Id paid a perfectly good $9.50 to have some studio executive, thousand of miles away bend me over and give me the old in-out was when i had to the part in which 2 gerbils( one voiced with great shame by Ray Winstone)sitting down ,having fucknig dinner and chatting on. The pits!! The guy on top who mentioned this was A VERY LAME Lord of the Rings Rip-off was right on the money!! To keep my sanity-I pretended the ENTIRE time like I was watching LOTR(which i love)-but couldnt shake the fact that it was designed for 4 year olds. much like the 1st National Treasure , which was a g-rated Michael Bay movie (at least thats HOW they sold it on the preveiws and commercial!)It's movies like that scar us for life!
This one looks so much more epic than the last. And Mr. Caspain is..ahem, SO CUTE. I'd pay full price just to see him shake his stuff. lol But sadly cute guys and great special effects doesn't make for the best movie. The story is just not as good as TLTWATW and it seems like the producers realize this too, so to fix the probelm they're deciding to make the battle sequences bigger? Good idea but it's not going to work. Ah well, I still want to see Prince Caspian. It looks like it has potential to be a real hit.

'Reepicheep Vs Jerry's French Cousin (RVJFC)'
by pokadoo
That stinking headline "Everything you thought blah blah forever" Didn't they use similar pointless slogans on the last few Harry Potter films? Blech! Dosen't the trailer even have the obligatory "This will lead us to OPEN WAR" quote that every fantasy trailer has now? Typical marketing cliche. Poster looks cool though (other than the crappy tagline).

I remember when...
by Ghostball
Matrix 1 and Fellowship came out, I thought there was gonna be a whole new wave of groundbreaking, challenging and visually inventive movies on the 21st century horizon that would truely deserve the term 'epic'. This tween-democraphic poster, capped off with that DOA tagline, pretty much spits that notion right back in my face. Anyone got a hankerchief?

Photoshop YAWN, I miss Drew Struzan
by Drath
I am sick of photoshopped immitations of Drew Struzan's work. He turned posters into movies like Masters of the fucking Universe into memorable pop art (okay, maybe not that good, but damn exciting stuff). This is just more floating heads and partially masked layers. Even if it's not, that's what it LOOKS like. Very unsatisfying.

Searching for an alternative to economic partnership agreements:
Abstract"On January 1, 2008, Economic Partnerships Agreements (EPAs), currently being negotiated between the European Union (EU) and nearly 80 African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries, are expected to replace the Cotonou Agreement, which has governed trade relations between these countries since 2000. The Cotonou Agreement, implemented through a waiver from the World Trade Organization (WTO), expires on December 31, 2007. At the second EU-Africa summit, held in Lisbon on December 8–9, trade issues have been a major bone of contention, with several African heads of state denouncing the way the negotiation had been led by the European Commission. At the end of the summit, the Commission agreed to continue EPA negotiations in 2008." from text

What's up TK, there really isn't a way to tuck the hood so it comfortably disappears. When you're not wearing it you can pull the drawstrings to cinch the hood into a smaller size, but the hood will still be on the outside of the jacket.

i was about to buy an XL poacher then came across this little number.
im 6'3 slim but have broad shoulders
Wooden Robots
Member since
The TWC fit is going to run a bit Slim. This is Shaun's signature fit it is going to be more of a streetwear fit. Tighter and tailored with room for movement and layering. The Regular Signature fit is our tried and true classic fit and room for layering, without being overly baggy.
The poacher jacket is going to have the classic Sig Fit. Unless your over 6'3 and 200lbs you may want to look at a Size Large. Cheers
does it come with a vest?

It was a visibly moved Harrison Ford who accepted this year's Al Ueltschi Award for Humanitarian Leadership yesterday morning at the conclusion of the NBAA 2013 opening session. While more commonly known for roles such as Indiana Jones and Han Solo in Star Wars, the veteran actor in this case was recognized for his continuing role as a philanthropist.
Harrison Ford
Actor Harrison Ford, known by most for his many and varied movie personae, is receiving NBAA's Al Ueltschi Award for Humanitarian Leadership for his extensive advocacy of general aviation. An accomplished pilot, Ford has made numerous appearances before Congress and regularly flies missions in support of humanitarian and philanthropic causes.
Actor and general aviation pilot Harrison Ford will receive NBAA's Al Ueltschi Award for Humanitarian Leadership during the opening session of the association's annual convention in Las Vegas on October 22. "In addition to his extensive work as an outspoken champion for general aviation, including numerous appearances before Congress, Ford also regularly flies missions in support of humanitarian and philanthropic causes," NBAA said. "For example, Ford has participated in the Cessna Citation Special Olympics Airlift.
The general and business aviation alphabet groups participated in a General Aviation Caucus event at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday that featured academy award-winning actor and avid pilot Harrison Ford. Before more than 250 congressional staff and industry representatives, including at least 20 House representatives and five senators, Ford talked about his passion for aviation and GA's positive economic impact and humanitarian efforts.
Pilot, aircraft owner and actor Harrison Ford passed the EAA Young Eagles baton to two now-famous pilots who will serve as co-chairmen of the Experimental Aircraft Association's program to help introduce youth to aviation.
Long-time AOPA member, pilot and actor Harrison Ford has teamed with AOPA to promote general aviation.

Victoria's Secret Angels lip synced to TAYLOR SWIFT's "I Knew You Were Trouble"!
Who doesn't love Victoria's Secret Angels?
You'll surely love them even more with their new video as they lip sync to Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble." Included in the video was Adam Levine's sexy model fiancee Behati Prinsloo and a slew of others except Jessica Hart.
Perhaps it would be awkward for Jessica Hart to be in the video since her comments about Taylor Swift were "wildly misinterpreted"?
The Victoria's Secret Angels sang a very sexy albeit off-key version of "Deck The Halls" for a blooper-filled holiday video, according to the latest entertainment news.
The Victoria's Secret Angels are surely some of the sweetest, sexiest women on the planet, but they simply can't have everything.
Clad in some of the skimpiest Santa lingerie, a few of the famous supermodels—namely Miranda Kerr, Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Erin Heatherton, Lindsay Ellingson and Lily Aldridge—tried their hand at singing for their newest holiday video… only to mess up the lyrics, make fun of themselves, sing off-tune and make you wish they just lip-synced.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is one of the most heavily anticipated fashion events of the year… and it's certainly not difficult to understand why.
As usual, the sexy fashion show was held in New York City, with a group of the most revered Victoria's Secret Angels showcasing their stunning supermodel bodies in luxurious lingerie.
Kings of Leon Rocker CALEB FOLLOWILL And Victoria's Secret Model LILY ALDRIDGE Are Expecting Their First Child!
Kings of Leon rocker CALEB FOLLOWILL and Victoria's Secret model LILY ALDRIDGE are expecting their first child together, according to the latest star news.
Caleb and Lily, who tied the knot in May of this year, are about to have their first child. The happy couple tells Us Weekly:
"We are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child together… We can't wait to meet the new addition to our family."
Kings of Leon frontman CALEB FOLLOWILL and his Victoria's Secret model girlfriend LILY ALDRIDGE have just tied the knot! See? Not all celebrity news is bad news.
Caleb and Lily were married at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California last Thursday. The sexy supermodel bride was a vision in a strapless mermaid gown by Vera Wang.
The Kings of Leon rocker had this to say of the intimate ceremony:
"It was a perfect day."
LILY ALDRIDGE is SEXIEST CELEBRITY of the day! Aldridge at the Victoria's Secret's launch of the new 'Sexy Little Bride Collection' at the Lexington avenue store in New York City, April 20, 2011.
Aldridge, the 25-year old Victoria's Secret model walked her first VC Fashion Show back in 2009; and a year later in 2010, Lily became an Victoria's Secret Angel and walked her second Victoria's Secret Fashion Show; by then the gorgeous model was given wings!

This was one of those places that's not super high end, but absolutely adequate for our visit, and would go back again and again. Lovely porch sitting; very clean rooms (that should always be a given); friendly, helpful staff; very good breakfast offerings. I know this is a B&B so the owners put their own decorative stamp on the common rooms (in particular) but I thought there was so much bric-a-brac around that it was hard to appreciate some of the really unusual, quirky pieces they have. Less is better and more interesting. Just my opinion.

Children's Health
The Lighter Side of Parenting
How would you discipline an angry child of 5 who called you a "poopyhead" (or worse) for insisting that he clean up his room or eat his vegetables? Would you:
a. Demand an immediate apology

Important It is possible that the main title of the report Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Read the Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood article > >
b. Put him in time-out
c. Give him a spanking
d. Say, "Shhh! You can't tell anyone my secret name!"
If you answered d, you're what psychologist Larry Cohen, PhD, calls a "playful parent." You've broken the tension with silliness and formed a bond with your child -- who might just be so amused (especially if you continue the game by declaring that your real secret name is Rice Crispies Cake) that he forgets he didn't want to clean his room.
Why Humor Works in Child Discipline
Child discipline seems like a very serious thing -- and that's the problem, says Cohen, the author of Playful Parenting and a play therapist. It's a lot less stressful, and a lot more fun, to use humor and play to connect with your child as you set limits and establish discipline. And disciplining children with humor and play, he adds, leaves everyone feeling much better than spanking children does.
The most important factor in child discipline, Cohen says, is the connection between parent and child. "Play and humor isn't the only way to make that connection, but it's probably the best," says Cohen, because play is a child's world, it's "where they live." And when everyone's stressed out and overloaded -- that's when we need play most.
4 Tips for Putting Play Into Child Discipline
So when your 3-year-old is battling over bedtime, or your 6-year-old has a meltdown because he lost at checkers, how do you discipline your child playfully? Consider these four playful tips from Cohen:
- Voice yourself. Walk into your child's room and ask them to clean it -- in a fake opera voice at the top of your lungs. Funny voices and using different characters are a great way to diffuse tension.
- Fall down. A lot. Especially with toddlers; they think it's hilarious when adults fall down, since they do it a lot themselves.
- Fake cry -- especially with boys. "There's such a taboo against crying with boys that I do it all the time," says Cohen. "Kids will experiment with teasing or some mild aggression, and I'll go 'WAAAAAAHHHH!' They'll laugh and laugh and want to do it over and over again."
- Game it. Set up games where they can be symbolically aggressive without it being over the top, such as play wrestling and pillow fights.
Putting Play to Work: An Example
Say that you have a strong-willed toddler who fights getting changed -- diaper changes, getting dressed, getting undressed. Every change is a battle, and you've resorted to just holding her down and wrestling her like an alligator into her clothes. Instead of disciplining your young child in frustration, think of what you can do to make getting dressed fun:
- Find a play time, and then say, "Let's play the getting-dressed game," suggests Cohen. Maybe try dressing up all her dolls and stuffed animals. Just don't try out your new game for the first time when you really need to get out the door; wait for a good time, then take it to the "play zone." "The problems always occur in the serious zone," Cohen says.
- Or have your child choose your clothes and be the boss and dress you! Or maybe race around the house at top speed, waving her snow pants or diaper, insisting she has to wear them while she's squealing and giggling and saying no.
- "Stumble and fall and let her get away, and she'll laugh and laugh," says Cohen. The miracle is that all that laughing and goofiness loosens up the tension that has gotten connected to getting dressed for some reason. Play is the way kids release tension.
Remember that not every playful approach you try will work. "You have to be willing to try lots of different things." says Cohen. "I'll have parents ask me 'How did you know just what to do with that child?' and I'll say, 'I tried 10 things and the first nine didn't work.'"

(08/22/12) - Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate Pete Hoekstra was stumping in Genesee County Wednesday.
Hoekstra was in Grand Blanc highlighting the difference between him and Democrat Senator Debbie Stabenow, who he's trying to unseat.
The former Michigan Congressman was joined Wednesday by state house and senate colleagues. He believes the lead that Michigan took to turn its economy around should be done in Washington.
Hoekstra said the choice couldn't be more clear more for voters in November. He is also challenging Stabenow to debate her record in the Senate, compared to his record as a Congressman.
He believes in order to get Michigan back working again, three things needs to happen: reform medicare and medicaid, restructure the tax code and cut spending.
To counter Hoekstra's attacks, Senator Stabenow's office released this statement:
"It's odd Hoekstra is lecturing anyone about the budget given that he voted for the budget-busting Bush tax cuts for millionaires, taxpayer-funded giveaways to special interests like big oil and drug companies, and the Wall Street bailout. Michigan needs a Senator like Debbie who has always fought for Michigan families."

Albany -- The pens may be running out of ink at Darton College, with five players today signing on to continue their basketball careers.
Sophomores Surtyria Wright, Tiowanna Spann, and Rachel Henry will all attend West Virginia Tech next year.
Sanielle Bryant heads to Southern Poly, and freshman point guard Shauntay Ricks moves to Miles College.
Wright was first-team all-conference her sophomore year, and says coach Laura Blackwell and her staff were a big help in her development as a player.
"It feels great to sign to continue playing basketball," says Wright, "and playing at Darton has helped me get progressively better."
Coach Blackwell adds, "We wish we could hold them those next two years, because we just feel like after that 1st and 2nd year they grow and mature so much. But it's great to hear from them and see them advance to the next level."
Darton College finished last year with a 19-9 record, advancing to the second round of the conference tournament.

The Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Deep in bluegrass country where horse-studded pastures alternate with woodsy hillsides and the only rest stop for miles around is at Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home, there lies a string of historic bourbon distilleries open for tours. Last weekend, when I was in the region, I stopped in at two of them: Maker's Mark and Woodford Reserve.
Despite the alcohol in the name, you don't go to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail to get tipsy. First, there is a lot of driving involved on winding country lanes so a big bourbon buzz is a big no-no. Second, I know it's a shocker (at least it was to me), but not all the distilleries give tastings. Third, a clear head is needed to navigate the rustic (and largely unmarked) backroads. But that's part of the fun. Just when my friends and I thought we'd reached the middle of a beautiful nowhere, a sign popped up to show the way to the spirits.

The setting at both Maker's and Woodford is straight from a picture book of American idyll. Both have little streams and happy trees, green rolling hills, buildings that are over 100 years old, and well-placed rocking chairs or benches so that you can take it all in. At Woodford, I almost expected Bambi to bounce on over and beg for some booze. And at Maker's, they even have cutesy (or cheesy, depending on how you look at it) details like little bourbon-bottle cut-outs on the shutters.
On each tour, I learned an incredible amount about a uniquely American drink and its heritage. I found out what separates a bourbon from a whisky, and how much of the process is still hand-crafted and focused on small, premium batches. I got to see the assembly lines, the label makers, vats that bubbled and fermented right before my eyes, and barrel upon barrel promising sip after sip with a silky smooth finish.
Tips: Right now, it's pretty hot along the trail, so I recommend bringing water. Wear comfortable shoes—you'll do a fair amount of walking and will have to climb some steps. Turn off your cellphones so as not to interrupt the tour guide. And note that we were told that the amount of alcohol in the air can make for a volatile atmosphere, so it's wisest not to smoke.
My name: Rachel Berg.
Favorite way to get around: By Venetian gondola during starlit high tide, gliding past decaying and slightly spooky palaces, with perhaps a bottle of prosecco placed between the gondola seat cushions.
View that took my breath away: Unable to sleep in the mystical city of Sfat in Israel, I wandered outdoors predawn and was treated to a purple-on-purple sunrise below the mountaintop that seemed to emerge feet-first through ground-level clouds.
Greatest travel lesson learned: Sunny weather isn't everything. Some of my best travel memories involve go-karting through a deluge turned mud-fest in Mexico, drinking tea in the cold Denali tundra, and watching electric thunderstorms roll through national parks out West.
Most challenging travel moment: Getting leveled by altitude sickness in Cuzco and realizing that my body was forcing me to slow down and rest despite the fact that there was so much to do and see.
Travel ambition: To see the northern lights.
