text: Despite his third suspension in the last two months, and the Sacramento Kings reportedly no longer considering the young star an "untouchable" asset, DeMarcus Cousins insists that he would like to remain right where he is. The Kings have have reinstated Cousins (his latest outburst cost him a game and a practice.) Per USA Today: "Even though Cousins has shared his frustrations about the Kings organization privately so many times before, he insisted a trade demand wasn't on the horizon. It's still not a season to be jolly about, but Cousins said he wants to be in Sacramento. 'I want to be in Sacramento,' he said. Asked if he wanted to be in Sacramento for the long term and if he could see himself wanting to sign another contract with the team either this summer (by way of an extension) or when his rookie deal expires after next season and he would become a restricted free agent, Cousins paused for some three seconds before answering. 'I want to be in Sacramento,' he repeated. 'The possibility does exist. It's a possibility.' As is stands, of course, the Kings are trying to decide whether they even want him around anymore. A person with knowledge of the team's plans said Saturday that Cousins was not considered 'untouchable' in terms of a possible trade, though it's believed that the Kings are merely listening to offers at this point as opposed to openly shopping the player they drafted fifth overall out of Kentucky in 2010. As talented as Cousins clearly is, the early assessment of his value around the league – at least at the moment – is that it's on the serious decline. Teams known to have significant interest in Cousins in the past were Detroit, Houston, and Denver, though even the most ardent fans of his game have admitted his latest incident would cause concern. Because no one in the Kings organization has been a bigger supporter of Cousins than [Keith] Smart, his decision to treat his coach in such a disrespectful way marked a new low for the player whose career has been marred by incidents such as these. Before the Kings can worry about the Feb. 21 trade deadline, they first must decide when to allow Cousins to return to the team. There are indications Cousins could rejoin the team as early as the Monday practice and possibly play in a Wednesday game at Portland, though that's not for certain. Cousins, who is averaging 16.6 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game this season, will have to convince Kings officials that he is contrite in order to rejoin the team. Cousins said he spoke with Smart on Sunday, and he also is expected to address his teammates about the situation before being allowed back. He said after Friday's game that he had apologized to his teammates for the incident that he 'was wrong.' The Kings had been strongly advising the volatile Cousins to begin seeing a mental health counselor, but a person with knowledge of the situation said he refused to do so."

While he doesn't mind being asked for an autograph, he cannot abide people taking photographs of him on the sly. "Bars are hard, but that's more because of mobile phones. I'll do autographs all day long, and I'll even do a picture at the end of an evening," he explained to DuJour magazine. "But if I'm being photographed all night long in a bar, that p***es me off. If you ask, I may say yes, but come up to me and say, "Would you like to take a photograph with me?" If you're f**king sneaking photographs of me … it's human nature, you're sneaking something! I'm being f**ked with! But people don't see it as a problem. Maybe I'm delusional." 'Maybe I'm delusional'The 47-year-old has been used to photographers and dealing with fans for many years, having starred in movies including Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Layer Cake. But since the development in technology, camera phones and social media, the Brit has found it harder to adjust."There were phones back then, but nobody used the cameras. Or there was a rule, if someone did it, you'd be like, 'What the f**k are you doing?!'" he recalled. "My wife [Rachel Weisz] is the best in the world at all that, she'll just turn to them and go, 'No, thank you very much,' and they're like, 'OK.'"Daniel can't help but feel sad that he can't go unnoticed any more, particularly when he wants to go out and socialise."I mourn it slightly. I like to have a drink, and I love pubs and I love finding new pubs and places to socialise. But that has a limit on it now," he said.© Cover Media

When spring hits, people get the urge to do a bit of deep cleaning and decluttering in their homes. The same should be true for your body. Receiving a massage is the perfect way to slough off old winter skin and reset your body for a new, warmer season. If you haven't had a massage in a while, taking the time to pamper yourself can prepare you for this season of renewal.
Get Rid of Dry Skin
As the temperatures rise above freezing, you'll put away the long-sleeved sweaters and pants and begin to show more skin. Indoor heat, low humidity and cold winter air has likely left your skin dry in spots and, perhaps, a bit lifeless. Start with a full body exfoliation and follow up with a massage with essential oils. The combination of exfoliating dry, dull skin and adding moisture with nourishing oils will leave your skin glowing and ready to show off.
Put Your Best Foot Forward
One of the best traditions of spring is showing off a new pair of strappy sandals, but no one wants to get caught with cracked heels or callouses. Start with a salt foot scrub to smooth skin. Then, invest in a foot massage to make sure your feet are warm weather ready. Follow up with regular deep exfoliation and moisturizing massages to keep feet sandal-ready all spring and summer long.
New Beginnings
Spring is a time of everything beginning again, fresh and new. It is also a good time to try a new type of massage you've never had before. According to WebMD, there are more than 80 different styles of massage therapy. Feel free to ask about what would be best for your body and your needs.
In addition to reviving tired winter skin and preparing yourself for spring clothing, the warmer weather allows you to take advantage of massage services without feeling the chill of winter. Why is spring a good time for a massage? Because massage is beneficial throughout every season and spring is no exception.

Last days, we spent plenty of time understanding why we had so much problems.
It started yesterday evening: our motors weren't responding to our commands. After long hours debugging with an oscilloscope, we finally succeed in making them work again, but we didn't find any rational explanation of this problem.
Today, as we wanted to test graphical logs of copter flights, we experimented big problems again. After having taken advices from our professors, we added some improvements to our code: we improved our scripts, added locks on processes to avoid multiple instances of them… Finally, we found the problem which was making us mad. One of our battery has a big problem: it seems it can't deliver enough power to the motors, what gives our copter a very strange behaviour.
We now have the same conditions of work than a few days earlier, but with a better work environment. We are going to spend next day intensively working on the stabilization and the command of our copter, we hope this will be easier than the days we just passed through.

Workplace accidents can occur in any type of work environment. The construction industry often comes to mind when one thinks of on-the-job accidents, however every industry has its risks and workers in all professions can become a victim of an accident.
Fortunately, the law is intended to protect injured workers in New York by requiring all employers in the State to provide workers' compensation benefits to employees.
If you have been injured in a workplace accident you may be entitled to workers' compensation and / or Social Security Disability benefits. However, obtaining the benefits that you may be owed can be difficult to do and many workers are unable to get the support that they need.

Types of Work Accidents
Below you will see a list of common workplace accidents that occur in New York. While these are some of the most common accidents, we help all New York workers who have been injured no matter what type of accident caused the injury.
Slip & Fall Accidents
According to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), slip and fall accidents are the leading cause of workers' compensation claims. Additionally, slip and fall accidents are the leading cause to occupational injury in people aged 55 years or older.
These accidents can happen in any work environment and the injuries sustained can range in severity.
Some of the most common types of injuries suffered in slip and fall accidents include fractures, sprains, knee injuries and hand or wrist injuries.
If you were injured in the course of work as the result of a slip and fall or other type of accident, you may be entitled to financial support in the form of workers' compensation or Social Security disability.

- Repetitive motion injuries
- Slip and falls

text: I just read an article ( http://www.canada.com/Electric+cars+save+Mother+Earth/3165530/story.html ) and it's the exact type of attitude that I see from a lot of people on electric cars. The range anxiety thing comes up a lot, running out of juice and getting stranded. As far as I understand it, the exact same thing can happen to a gasoline powered car, but my car with an ICE doesn't refill when I'm at work or looking in Chapters for a gift. This person even seems to think that hydrogen powered vehicles are a better solution. Honestly, how is it so hard to understand that when you convert energy into something, there is going to be a net loss on the potential, and you're getting less, and paying more, for the same amount of resources? Is there a good link to send these people to that goes over why electric vehicles make more sense than they are given credit for? I mean, I understand people who need to be driving 8-16 hours a day may not find EVs to be a solution for them in the near future, but I think the average driver will.

|Campaign for safety on the beaches of Europe
Every year, around 35,000 to 40,000 people drown in Europe*. This means, statistically speaking, that in Europe 100 people are dying every day in the water -- on holiday, on a day out or doing their job. After road traffic accidents, drowning is the second highest cause of death amongst children in almost every European country. Blausand.de campaigns for the prevention of drowning and, alongside numerous other advisory initiatives, publishes its monthly 'Newsletter for the Prevention of Drowning'.
In 2008, Blausand.de will be presenting a photo-installation to bring this situation to the attention of the whole of Europe. In May 2008, one hundred people of all nationalities and ages, from child.ren to pensioners, will lie down on a stretch of sand on the Spanish Balearic Island of Formentera for the 100 EACH DAY project.
The 100 volunteers will first have coated each other with blue paint. The photo shoot, due to take place between 20 and 24 May 2008, will involve the use of either a crane or a helicopter looking down from above.
Registration: Wednesday 21/5/08 at 6.00pm in Formentera at Restaurante Es Arenals, Playa Mgjorn. Photo shoot: Thursday 22/5/08 at 1.00pm in Formentera. After Shooting Party: Thursday 22/5/08 at 9.00pm Bar Zic Zac, Formentera. Alternative date for photo shoot: Saturday 24/5/08 at 1.00pm.
You can apply to take part in the photo shoot or to join the events management team, any time before 30 april 2008, by writing to the following email address: . Blausand.de will confirm registrations by e-mail.
The following conditions apply: participants in the photo shoot (22/5/08) must be present in Formentera for registration (21/5/08) and also be available for the alternative date for the photo shoot (in case of adverse weather conditions) on 24/5/08.
Participants and the events management team will not receive any fee. But as a thank-you for their involvement, all volunteers will receive a limited edition poster of the photo installation, signed by the photographer.

The safety requirements for holiday makers and leisure seekers is ever increasing which also applies for issues regarding drowning.
Almost up to 40.000 people are drowning annually in Europe alone with the alarming tendency of further increases. The main reasons for drowning are a lack of information of dangerous conditions, foolhardiness, overconfidence in estimating own swimming capabilities, neglect of duty of care and a lack of supervision, warning systems and life savers.
Experts estimate 80 % of all drowning could be prevented.
The independent organisation "Blausand.de" is committed to supply up to date information about safety issues for European beaches and related topics like travelling, holiday and leisure, swimming and water safety.
After the tragic drowning of his very own sister in 1999, Rolf Lüke - a resident of Bremen - was the founder of the independent organisation "Blausand.de", designed to help to prevent further similar accidents. In addition, recreational items are published and the response of nearly one million visitors to our German website combined with the efforts of approximately 400 volunteers throughout Europe makes it all worthwhile.
The visitors to our website are obviously interested in safety issues and represent holiday makers, families, senior citizen, young adults, community groups and organisations that prioritize in safety and holiday issues.
Our most important goals are the provisions of information in regard to water safety, risk assessment, investigative reports and preventions of drowning.
Apart from newsworthy information we specialise in risk assessment of particular beaches, analysing of accidental drowning, providing services for holiday makers, athletes and the service industry representing leisure and tourism.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for any enquiry beyond information provided.

*Top 20 Sexiest Male Musicians of All Time: The Complete List
*Top 20 Worst Bands of All Time: The Complete List
*Top 20 Musicians of All Time, in Any Genre: The Complete List
What we talk about when we talk about sex and rock 'n roll is often dudes, the lusty front men and axe-grinders who, perhaps, joined the band in the first place for the purpose of scoring.
But sexy women now dominate pop music, and the same mojo that's stuffed Mick Jagger's dressing room for time immemorial draws would-be groupies to female icons in the same way.
It just shows that being sexy is about more than looks. Nothing's hotter than a woman who can rock a mic, and we mean nothing; these musicians may have once been on our walls, but they live on in our fantasies. -Ben Westhoff
20. Samantha Fox
A pop star and model with some edge, Samantha Fox posed topless at age 16 for a newspaper in her native London. She sold boatloads of records, but the boys of my generation knew her mainly from her risque posters for sale at the back of hair metal magazines. Though these adverts were tiny, and a thin black line blocked out the good parts, I'm certain any of us would have married her. -Ben Westhoff
19. Grace Jones
A Jamaican-born model and muse of Andy Warhol, Grace Jones became a pop-disco siren in the '70s and '80s. She is the epitome of androgynous beauty. With her severe features, radiant skin, and lanky 5'10" physique, Jones rocks Reagan-era fashion hard, making shoulder pads and leotards look hot. And she wasn't afraid to take them off, either -- in 1998, she exposed her breasts at Disney World and was banned forever from the park. Yep, Grace Jones is officially too adult for the Magic Kingdom. -Linda Leseman
18. Courtney Love
We get it -- she hasn't aged well. Still, back in the '90s she was setting trends with baby doll dresses and plastic bow barrettes in her hair. There's something about her raw, natural looks that appeal to a certain kind of man: The type of man who prefers a little sag in the breast to the plasticine perfection of silicone. The type of man who finds acne to be a little sexy and stretch marks to be battle scars. Not to mention the fact that there's always something more than a little sexy about a woman who's totally crazy. Oh, and she was a stripper. -Nicholas Pell
See also: Are These Pictures of Courtney Love's Mythical "Bikini Dancer" Days at Jumbo's Clown Room? (NSFW)
17. Brody Dalle
Brody Dalle first gained notoriety as the under-aged girlfriend and eventual wife of Rancid's Tim Armstrong, but she proved her musical chops as the guitar-slinging frontwoman of The Distillers. And she is smokin' -- from her buxom pin-up girl bod, to her luscious lips and her badass tattoos to her punk attitude. She looks dirty and delicious at the same time. And that voice -- so deep and guttural and primal and raw. Brody (now a.k.a. Mrs. Josh Homme) may have traded her Distillers-era screams and growls for actual singing with Spinnerette, but she's as sultry as ever. And she can call us anytime. -Linda Leseman
16. Joan Jett
With a raspy voice that threatened and promised at the same time, Joan Jett took control of her sexuality and propelled it into the mainstream. There's nothing coy or coquettish about "Do You Want to Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" or her tale of seducing a 17-year-old in "I Love Rock n' Roll." With her kohl rimmed eyes and leather jacket, Jett held the promise of a good time rolled into the possibility of getting your ass kicked. -Molly Bergen
15. Gwen Stefani
Hers is the face that launched ska's third wave, compelled Claire's to mass-produce bejeweled bindis, and brought Harajuku makeup from the streets of Tokyo to TV sets around the world. The beguiling beauty of Gwen Stefani is how she pulls it off again and again. She transitions from Dickies and Vans to cardigans and platinum pin curls as easily as she transitions from a girlish coo to a warbly, womanly belt. Every time she remakes herself, she makes us fall in love with her again. We'll eat up whatever the girl is slinging, cause everything she does is bananas -- B-A-N-A-N-A-S. -Tessa Stuart
14. Stevie Nicks
From her boho look before it was chic to her angelic features, Stevie Nicks redefined what it meant to be a rock star in the late '70s. Her classic California beauty made her the girl you could take home to your parents, but her wild streak made her the perfect companion for a night on the Sunset Strip. With a husky yet tender voice that could rock you one minute and make you cry the next, no one could put a spell on men quite like Nicks. -Dan Kohn
13. Nico
Nico is sexy in the way that a crying woman is sexy. Everything about her seemingly longs for comfort -- from you -- and her voice makes you desperately want to give it. You want to grab her and tell her everything is going to be okay, even though you know that's a lie. Nico made the dating rounds among the royalty of proto-punk, including Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, but none of them ever made her happy. Her sorrow is part of what makes her sexy. -Nicholas Pell
Watching the way she rolls her body to the sound of gunshots, singing "Some, some, some I murder; some, some I let go," it's easy to believe Sri Lankan-bred rapper M.I.A. has the power to create and destroy. In fact, Matangi "Maya" Arulpragasam is named for a tantric Hindu goddess with the ability to do just that. We don't care if she's a terrorist (as the government of Sri Lanka has alleged), or if she eats truffle-flavored French fries while answering accusations that she is a terrorist. We'll leave questions about her bona fides to the critics because we can't pretend to be unbiased -- we die for her pouty mouth, almond eyes, and "Fuck you, Superbowl audience" attitude. -Tessa Stuart
11. Taylor Swift
Taylor is the queen, or princess rather, of awshucks preacher's daughter cuteness. Never mind that in reality she's actually a calculated businesswoman running an empire, this fantasy is too perfectly down-home to give up. It's that chuckle that gets you; you can hear it in her new hit "Ours." In the brash world of country radio it's endearing and just plain adorable. You sort of just want to take her out to dinner and not try anything. Weird. -Kai Flanders
10. Jennifer Lopez
As Eminem said (more or less), we'd have sex with this chick even if we were related. When Jennifer Lopez blossomed into J. Lo, it was hard to believe she'd been the dark-haired dancer blending into the scenery on In Living Color and in Janet Jackson videos. Our favorite features are her high cheekbones, tousled mane, almond-shaped eyes, and Jenny-from-the-block smile. Just kidding, it's all about her ass, of course. (And particularly as, skin glistening, she rolls around in the sand in the "Love Don't Cost A Thing" video.) Even when she tried to distract us with the Versace dress cut down to there, we kept trying to get a glimpse of her you-know-what. -Rebecca Haithcoat
9. Sheila E
Appolonia? Please. The hottest Prince girl was Sheila E, no contest. Nobody in the '80s was rocking fingerless lace gloves, one-shoulder tops, and gem-encrusted two-piece suits like that. She can play the drums. She doesn't so much sing her words as pant them. Instead of dancing, she struts. In Krush Groove she invented the term "bad bitch." And as the string of shows she played with and almost stole from Prince last year at the Forum proved, at 54, she definitely still has it. -Rebecca Haithcoat

8. Liz Phair
Liz Phair was sexy when she was shy and only got sexier as she began funning around with Auto-Tune. Also, she just loves to fuck. How many other rockers just love to fuck? Prince treats sex as some sort of ritual, the Rolling Stones surely do it mechanically, and countless others use it to fill an emotional void. But Phair just loves it. Loves it with her orange juice. Loves it between rounds of Xbox in a strange dorm. Loves it after getting walked in on by her kid. -Dan Weiss

7. Madonna
When it comes to sex, Madonna literally wrote the book. Flip through 1992 S&M coffee table tome Sex to remember just how provocative the Queen of Pop can be. The rest of her career, meanwhile, is a study in alluring contradictions: the Catholic-girl-gone-bad persona, the edgy lyrics sung in a delicate way, the muscular yet sensual dancer's body. When it comes to sex, she's an icon. -Linda Leseman
6. Shirley Manson
In Garbage's best video, "The World Is Not Enough," Shirley Manson plays a literal bombshell who's also an android. It's the perfect realization of the striking redhead's unsettling sexiness; that feeling that her nails toying around your throat might actually be playing for keeps. Her band is always a safe distance behind her in their clips, not wanting to be too close to someone who looks best in spattered-blood red. She has to be more normal IRL. Right? -Dan Weiss

5. Avril Lavigne
Combining supermodel good looks and a punk rock attitude was sheer genius. It may not have been Avril herself who came up with the concept, but she certainly brought it home. You never got the sense that she was accessible and she never promised to give you anything; quite the opposite, in fact. But you had a suspicion that your profound sense of sarcasm would win her over, and you knew deep down she realized her badassness was a front, just as it was for you and everyone else. -Ben Westhoff
See also: Fuck Guilty Pleasures: Why Avril Lavigne Is The Best Evar
4. Beyonce
Let's just get this out of the way: Beyonce's body, whether movie-star slim or pregnant, is bangin'. With its roller coaster curves and waist-to-hip ratio, it's the prototype that Kim Kardashian showed to her plastic surgeon. But you have to be born with what makes Queen B so sexy. Skin gleaming like it's made of gold, eyes sparkling, she gives off such electricity you can't help but be riveted, even when she's not doing the "Uh-oh" dance. We always felt sorry for those other two girls in Destiny's Child -- what were their names again? -Rebecca Haithcoat
3. Debbie Harry
Forget the so-called punk goddesses of today. Debbie Harry was able to get herself into the hearts of punk boys and girls despite entering the world of rock at a relatively advanced age, her early 30s. She's aged rather gracefully, but her peak was clearly during her days with Blondie. More than just a pretty face and a great body, Harry set you on fire with her voice and demeanor; it's tempting to think of her as a sex kitten, but she was actually a Playboy bunny, and, you know, they're both pretty hot as far as animals go. -Nicholas Pell
See also: An Interview With Debbie Freaking Harry!
2. Britney Spears
Only the gay men loved Britney for Britney; all the rest of us just wanted to get with her. I don't care how old you were or from what corner of the globe you came, there wasn't a heterosexual man alive who didn't lose his shit over the "...Baby One More Time" video in 1999. The boa constrictor thing and the skintight red "Oops" outfit were pretty good too, but the Catholic schoolgirl thing worked especially well because she looked like classmates you'd once sat behind. Like Britney, they too were always just barely out of your reach, but when the sun shone into the classroom and the breeze brushed their golden hair just right, there was maybe, just possibly, a chance.
1. Shakira
Seeing the "She Wolf" music video, or "Loba," the even more libidinous Spanish version, for the first time is a sexual milestone in any man's life. It's the moment when you realize, no matter what, you'll never have a woman with as much pure animal sexuality as Shakira. (Unless your name is Antonio de la Rúa and your dad was the president of Argentina.) There is a fierce independence in that video -- even though she's dancing in a cage you get the sense that she chooses to stay confined, which is more erotic than actually being locked up. There is a wonderfully mature, unabashed quality to her sexuality: while teeny-bopping pop-stars struggle to straddle that all important commercial line between girl and woman, Shakira owns her womanhood. Indeed, anyone with two albums titled Oral Fixation has gone pretty far past mere suggestiveness. (Here's some more evidence.) -Kai Flanders

The Total Burger
LTO Concepts
Consumers overwhelmingly prefer more traditional burger accompaniments – but that doesn't mean you have to stick with plain old ketchup and mustard. Mayonnaise is the top condiment menued across LSR and FSR segments, and it offers the perfect platform for flavor experimentation.* In addition, you can kick classics like barbecue sauce up a notch with culinary elements such as smoky chipotle chilies to give your burgers an unexpected bite.
Go beyond traditional and get gourmet
There's certainly a time and place for tried and true standbys, but consumers are demonstrating their willingness to be flavor adventurers – so don't be afraid to give condiments your own signature twist. Spice up mayo with garlic, chipotle or fresh herbs, or try adding unusual ingredients such as candied jalapenos to relish for a real sweet and spicy punch.
Housemade blends add high-end appeal
There's nothing wrong with ketchup straight from the bottle, but making your own – with vine-ripened tomatoes, cinnamon, garlic and Spanish onion – can instantly elevate your burgers to premium status and command a premium price point. Today's consumers increasingly crave "simplicity," and respond positively to the DIY aesthetic of craft-made condiments.
Men and women both crave the classics
Men and women share remarkably similar preferences when it comes to burger condiments. As this Technomic study demonstrates, ketchup, mayo, mustard, barbecue sauce and most other condiments have similar popularity rankings for males and females. Two notable exceptions include steak sauce (greatly preferred by men) and guacamole (vastly preferred by women, who consider it a healthful indulgence). Get all the details below.

"Money, Money, Money – Must Be Funny"
Couples are quite easily able to sabotage a loving relationship with passive aggressive ways to hurt one another about money in all its attendant blessings as well as problems. I'm the saver he's the spender, I grew up poor, she grew up rich, and so on. Believe it or not money and sex are the two main issues causing couples to divorce.
While The Beatles were right, and money can't buy you love, scientific research tells us that arguing about money, and financial infidelity are extremely harmful to a marriage. Couples who argue about money, despite the extent of their net worth, are much more at risk for divorce. This is one of the major predictors for divorce for both men and women.
Matters of the bank balance are just as important as matters of the heart, when it comes down to being in agreement, and being truly honest with one another. Committing to a spouse or partner often assists in reaching financial stability, so stay open to new ways to listen to one another, negotiate, and be playful. Actively create the intention to build a strong and loving relationship by having the "money talk".
Having this talk is often daunting, but also very necessary. The conversation needs to be productive as opposed to indulging in financial abuse. It is time to get on the same page and stay there by communicating, no matter how sticky the subject makes you feel. Conversations should be about goals, values and priorities for a planned future together, rather than a lecture on financial flowcharts.
Heart-to-heart conversations are always important for life partners, and speaking about money matters should also be heart-to-heart. Ownership should be shared in financial matters as well as retirement planning. There are many logical ways to share responsibilities, for example one partner takes care of savings and investment, and the other takes care of the bills. Of course this is always undertaken in a completely transparent, consultative manner.
Shared ownership is easily established by setting a baseline expense amount. This could be $50, $100, $200 or more, depending on what makes both partners feel comfortable. This amount is the agreed amount that can be spent without first having a financial discussion. Make a commitment to a long-term saving plan, and commit to long term as well as short term goals.
Once the talk has taken place, the subject of money becomes more comfortable to discuss. If ground rules are set, both partners will feel more satisfied as well as secure. Ask specific questions in order to establish the rules of engagement; questions such as how you would like to retire, and what you want to accomplish in the meantime. You might like to write down individual items, and number these in order of priority. Items such as travel, home ownership, having children and so on. This can assist in planning a financial "bigger picture".
Open and honest dialogue regarding budget, cash management, debt, insurance, emergency funds and so on is as important for young couples as it is for people approaching retirement. Conversations on these subjects should never be avoided. Keep the subject factual as well as fun to determine what is important in this life you are sharing, and don't forget to celebrate when milestones are reached together.

The longer you hold on to the old ways, where one profits at the expense of another, the longer your challenges will continue. However, as soon as you let go and allow Great Spirit to bring about a solution that is best for everyone, your challenges will lessen.
It's difficult for some of us to see that our worldly beliefs are temporary, illusionary. We think that it's all written in stone and since everything has been this way for ages, then it must be true and good. After all, if everybody agrees that an hour only has 60 segments, an item just bought at the store really belongs to us, the TV always tells us the truth, our leaders are kind and beneficent, then they must be right, right? Well, times are changing fast and many of our long-held beliefs and institutions are falling apart before our very eyes. As we step forth into the future, we are seeing that many of the ideas we invested a lifetime in are no longer working for us like they used to. Indeed, if we are to going to build a better world for ourselves and our children, we must begin to reexamine our thinking patterns and be willing to make changes when we run across a belief that's out of date. Perhaps one of the most illusionary of our beliefs centers around who we are. We've been led to believe that we are a name and a body, with all its inherent proclivities and preferences, but this point of view is fast becoming obsolete. Clearly, the hallmark of the age we're stepping into bids us to become more than we thought we were.
"Who are you?"
I looked up. No one was in sight. Not even Eagleheart. I was alone.
"Who are you?" the invisible voice asked again.
"Robert," I answered sharply. "I'm Robert McCoy."
"Are you sure about that?"
"What?" This was maddening.
"I said, are you sure? Are you sure that you're Robert McCoy?"
"Yes, I'm Robert McCoy!" I yelled it up at the sky.
"What is it that makes you so sure you're Robert McCoy? Couldn't you just as easily be William Smith or Joe Adams? Isn't Robert McCoy just a name your parents made up?"
"Well, yes. I suppose so," I said. "But that's my name."
Silence. Then, "Are you your name, Robert? Or could it be that you are more than that?"
I didn't know what to say. Up till this point, I'd been mildly annoyed. But now I was beginning to get angry. "Who are you?" I demanded.
Nothing. Not a sound. I stood there surrounded by nothing but the trees and the sky. "Eagleheart!" I yelled.
"He's not here," the voice said.
"Then who are you?" I asked again.
"That's not the question, my brother. The question is who are you? You keep telling me that you are your name, Robert McCoy. But I believe that you're more than that. I believe you're more than a couple of words that come out of your mouth."
"Okay!" I shouted. "I'm Robert McCoy, and I am the body that stands here in front of you!"
"Really?" The voice sounded mildly amused. "Yes, I am my body."
"And I suppose you're sure about that, too?"
"Yes!" I screamed.
Silence again. Then, finally, "Then you must be your hands. Is that right, Robert. Are you your hands?"
I thought about that for a moment. "No," I answered.
"You sound a little tentative, my brother. Like you're not so sure. Are you your feet then? Answer me that."
This was ridiculous! "No!" I stated. "I'm definitely more than my hands and my feet!"
"Good for you, Robert," came the voice. "Because what I'm suggesting to you is that you are much more than your name, much more than your hands and feet, and much more than your body, as well."
It's hard to explain what happened next. A feeling of great melancholy swept over me. I was totally disoriented; my legs gave way underneath me, as I crumpled to the ground and began sobbing. Tears flowed until none were left. Somewhere in the middle of it all, as I lay whimpering face down on a bed of soft pine needles, a new sensation–I don't even know if it was a thought or a feeling–came to me. Yes! I am more than my body! I am a Being who lives inside of my body!
And with this revelation, two things happened at once: the shift in my perceptions that I'd experienced yesterday came back. The stones and trees and leaves and everything around me came alive and shimmered even brighter than before. At the same time, a strange and beautiful man appeared . . .
From The Reunion: A Parable for Peace
I Intend that I am taking a closer look at my core beliefs about myself and the world I live in.
Great share!

How about teachers who say they teach the "scientific" method of singing?
Many teachers in recent history have fallen victim to what has been erroneously termed "voice science". You see, any time you associate something with the word "science", it automatically assumes an aura of truth. That's very attractive to both teachers and students, who are anxious to grab onto anything that offers them hope of understanding what has unfortunately become a very confusing subject.
How do you determine what the tone quality of a singer's voice should be?
A singer's tone should be determined by his or her own individual vocal anatomy and not a predetermined ideal held by a teacher – or the student, for that matter! It should be a blend of the top, middle, and bottom resonance qualities that results when the singer's larynx remains in a relaxed, stable position.
What about breathing? Doesn't correct breathing play an important part in your ability to produce good tone?
Should beginning voice students sing in foreign languages?
Training your voice, as you may have guessed, means learning to coordinate and strengthen the muscles in your larynx so you can sing with speech-level posture over a wide pitch and dynamic range. Coordination and strength an?
How soon in my training program can I expect to sing high notes easily?
Immediately, since in our approach there is no strain involved in the production of tone anywhere in one's range. You must move quickly into the extreme ranges to ensure that you don't get locked in to any one part of your range.
What about teachers who say you should build your middle range before you try to extend it up or down?
You should be able to sing through your entire range – from the lowest notes of your chest voice, up through the highest notes of your head voice – in a smooth, even, or what we call connected manner, and still maintain a relaxed speech-level posture.
Most singers use excessive muscular effort when they sing. Muscles the body normally uses to chew and swallow food, as well as open the (throat wider when it needs to get oxygen into the lungs quickly, are used to manipulate the larynx – forcing it up or down. This is done to accomplish a difficult pitch, increase intensity, or "improve" the quality of one's tone. We call these muscles the outer muscles, because they are located outside the larynx.

After 31 Fights: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Deontay Wilder
After 31 Fights: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Deontay Wilder
By Kris N. Tims, Doghouse Boxing (April 17, 2014)
Follow @DoghouseBoxing
L-R: Klitschko - Wilder
Tweets by @DoghouseBoxing
Last month exciting heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder notched his 31st victory against no losses with an easier than expected 1st round blowout of fringe contender Malik Scott. Wilder's progress has been steady and although he has faced no real threat, he has climbed the ladder into the top 10 and is now ready to fight other contenders.
Just under 161 months ago current heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko destroyed fringe contender Phil Jackson in two rounds to notch his 30th victory in 31 fights. Klitschko's progress was steady and although he stumbled along the way losing by TKO to journeyman Ross Puritty, he climbed the ladder into the top 10 and was ready to fight other contenders.
Let's compare these two fighters careers after 31 bouts to contrast the possible future meeting they may one day have.
Wladimir Klitschko
236 lbs.
: 23
30-1 (27)
Notable Victories:
UD8, TKO8 Everett Martin, RTD4 Joseph Chingangu, TKO8 Alex Schulz, KO2 Phil Jackson
Apparent strengths after 31 bouts: A great amateur pedigree. Punching power, jab, fluid offensive assault and combination power punching.
Apparent weakness after 31 bouts: Chin and stamina, he was hurt by gatekeeper Everett Martin, suffered a knockdown vs. Steve Pannell and a TKO loss to hard punching but limited Ross Puritty.
How it turned out: Less than a year later Wladimir dominated Chris Byrd for his first heavyweight world title. His chin and stamina problems would continue to plague him until his time training under the legendary Emmanuel Steward. Steward taught Klitschko the blueprint to use his size and skill to their maximum effectiveness and this led to Wladimir becoming the most dominant heavyweight of his era.
Deontay Wilder
227 lbs.
: 28
: 31-0 (31)
Notable Victories
: KO3 Kelvin Price, TKO1 Audley Harrison, KO1 Sergei Liakhovich, KO1 Malik Scott
Apparent strengths after 31 bouts: Punching power, killer instinct, and reach.
Apparent weaknesses after 31 bouts: Lack of an amateur pedigree. Chin, Wilder was hurt by gatekeeper Harold Sconiers, and was in deep trouble before recovering well.
How will it turn out? Wilder should be fighting other contenders from this point out. He has progressed to the point where blowing out fringe contenders and faded former champs will no longer help him progress. It is time to test the thoroughbred against the likes of a Tony Thompson or Kubrat Pulev before getting that big title shot vs. Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko.
As you can see, Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder had similar career paths after 31 bouts. Both were largely untested, both dominated the fringes of the division and both hit road blocks. Perhaps in 10 years Wilder will be on top of the division and there will be another hard hitting young heavyweight on the horizon looking to take his spot.

Flour and Water – Sourdough Experiment Part II
And it still turned into a loaf of rye and spelt sourdough bread.
Everyone loved it. It was all gone in a day.
I've already blogged about the rye starter. That also is just rye flour and water, set out in a warm room.
I took some of the starter, and added additional flour (half rye, half spelt) and water, and kneaded it up into an elastic dough.
Because it only contained flour and water, no oils, it was a sticky jpb kneading it. But seemed to get elastic just the same after about 15 minutes of kneading.
Then I let it rise. In a large ceramic bowl, that I had lightly oiled and dusted with flour (so the dough would come out again, I hoped).
It took another 5-6 hours or so to get this dough to rise to what seemed like double its original volume.
Here's where I made my mistake. I tried to remove the risen dough from ceramic bowl onto a baking pan. And of course it stuck badly to the bowl. So pretty much all the rise was lost getting it out of the bowl.
But, as I mentioned a few posts ago, age brings patience, if not always wisdom.
So I reformed the dough, this time into a sort of brick shape, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. And let it rise some more. Over night, plus some. And it slowly, very slowly, rose. Like lifting the titanic. But eventually, after almost an additional day of rising, it was clearly at least twice it's original size. It never got as light and fluffy looking as the initial rise in the ceramic bowl, though.
And hop it went into the oven.
Not an ideal recipe if you are in the process of starving or in a hurry. I hope to reduce the time required to get a loaf baked by a few days in subsequent trials!
Not too much additional rising occurred in the oven. I baked it at 425ºF for 10 minutes, and then reduced the temperature to 400ºF. And baked it, and baked it.
Along with the loaf, I placed a ceramic bowl of hot water in the oven as well, as this is supposed to keep the crust soft. After all, this is rye bread, not a baguette.
Finally, at about 50 to 60 minutes, we felt pretty confident it was baked through. I was, as always, worried about taking it out too soon and having uncooked dough in the center.
After taking it out of the oven, and letting it sit for half an hour, we finally cut it open.
Bear in mind again that this is a rye bread. And is not expected to be light and fluffy like wonder bread. I expected a boat anchor.
What came out had definitely risen. And was baked through. There is a definite structure of tight air pockets throughout the bread.
And I think, if not perfect, it is definitely bread. By any definition.
And flavorful!
Wow. Thick, smoky, nutty, deep, intense flavor. Even without salt, oil or anything else. You can't get flavor like that from a store. The sourdough flavor very clearly evident in every bite. Harmonizing nicely with the nutty spelt and rye flavors.
In every bite, you can just feel yourself transported back to an open hearth, family huddled around for light and warmth, enjoying food delicious because the simple pure flavors come out so clearly.
So, a qualified success. Very tasty bread, but could have had a better rise.
I think the key improvement for the next one will be to let the kneaded dough rise in a baking vessel. Something ceramic bowl that is intended for bread baking. Because I think that this will help the dough keep its initial rise and form without having to transfer it to something else.
But we have some time to contemplate this. As the next sourdough loaf is going to be 9 grain whole wheat, with a rough ground 9 grain mixture going in with the whole wheat and the sourdough starter. I think this one will rise better in general, and will not have the problem of 'running out' during rising and baking.
We'll see!
Rye and Spelt Sourdough Bread
Recipe by surfindaave
Makes 1 loaf
Rye flour – have 800 grams available
Spelt flour – have 500 grams available
Make the starter:
Mix 100 grams of rye flour with enough water to make a thick paste. Cover it lightly, and leave it in a warm (75 to 85 ºF) place for 24 hours, undisturbed.
After 24 hours, stir in another 100 grams of rye flour and sufficient water to make a thick paste. Let it sit, covered, for another 24 hours.
As the starter begins to bubble up, you may need to move it to a larger container.
After another 24 hours, you should see some bubbles forming. And some increase in volume. Add another 100 grams of rye flour, and sufficient water to make a thick paste. Let it sit again, covered, in a warm place.
The starter is ready when it is full of bubbles, and has puffed up significantly. If you push a spoon down into it, it will have the consistency of a thick meringue. A sour smell will be very noticeable. And after adding additional flour and water, the bubbling action will start up almost immediately.
It can take anywhere from 2 to 5 days to get the starter to this point. Patience! The bacteria are everywhere, and will fond your starter too!
Basically at that point, your bacteria colony has increased in size to the point that it can create enough gas quickly enough to raise a loaf of bread.
Make the bread:
Take most of the starter, placing it in a large mixing bowl. Save the remaining starter, covered and placed in the fridge, for the next loaf.
Assuming you have used the 300 grams of rye flour per the Starter recipe above, mix together about 300 grams of rye flour and 300 grams of spelt flour.
Add most of the flour to the bowl, reserving some for flouring the kneading board.
Stir in enough water, a little at a time, mixing the dough with your hand, to incorporate all the flour into a ball.
Move the ball of dough to a floured kneading board. Knead the dough vigorously until smooth and elastic in texture (I kneaded for 15 minutes), adding additional flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking to your hands and the board.
Transfer the dough to a well greased ceramic baking vessel, or form the dough into a desired shape on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (for example into a round shape, a brick shape). I cut thin lines into the dough, about 1 cm deep, as this is how I've always seen these loafs, and some hints indicated this aided in the rising.
Let the dough rise until at least doubled in size in a warm place, covered with a towel. This could take from 4 to 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Place an ovenproof bowl of hot water in the oven (helps keep the crust soft, as the crust will be more than firm when done)..
Bake the bread for 10 minutes at 425ºF, and then reduce the temperature to 400ºF. Bake form an additional 40 minutes, or until done (the usual tests – sounds hollow when tapped, browned crust, toothpick comes out clean, etc.). I tend to err on the side of caution and bake longer if in doubt.
Remove from oven, and let cool. Slice thickly. Serve with everything! Enjoy!

Have you ever felt as though your dream is being frustrated or even seemingly dead? If so, rest assured that your dream can be revived to vibrancy. Even butterflies, amphibians and reptiles hibernate; and when they do, it does not mean that they are extinct.
A frustrated dream is not necessarily a dead dream; that is just an interlude. You are not vanquished and can therefore give your dream the oomph it needs. You just need to make better use of the amalgam of strategy and tactics. Sun Tzu, a military strategist who wrote a book titled 'The Art of War' informs us that: "Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory, and tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat".
You are an individual who is well skilled and whole in spirit, ready to march forward in the business, scholastic or philanthropic world. The best direction is forward, not retreating or, 'advancing backwards', which is actually retreat but put differently. Being alert and astute can give you leverage and help to tip the scales in your favour, soldier on…
If you love what you do, just bear in mind that determination plus hard work, minus laziness equals success; there you have a working formula. As the year winds down, your mind and body clock should not do so by default; it is the year that is winding down, not your mind and dream. It is an equally opportune time to put your best foot forward, go ahead.
I wish you well.

M.S. Occupational Therapy
Our Master of Science in Occupational Therapy prepares you in occupation-based, client-centered critical thinking and clinical reasoning for occupational therapy practice.
The 24-month program welcomes a new class of students in late May each year. You engage in community experiences and courses emphasizing occupational therapy theory, practical applications of theory, therapeutic use of self, evidence-based practice, and the use of occupation with clients of all ages.
Our curriculum emphasizes interprofessional approaches to meeting clients' needs, allowing you to learn and work with students in UNE's Nursing, Athletic Training, Physical Therapy, Social Work, Dental Hygiene and Physician Assistant programs. Through these experiences, you gain a better understanding of how your work will combine with the work of other health professionals in the workforce.
The program begins with a strong foundation in science, including a functional anatomy and kinesiology course, as well as a practice class focused on working with older people. In the fall semester the emphasis is on adults who have psychosocial and/or physical disabilities. The spring semester focuses on working with children who have a range of abilities, therapeutic use of self, and developing research knowledge and skills.
As part of the program, you complete a different clinical rotation during each of your first three semesters, focusing on rehabilitation, disability, and participation. You start by learning about the challenges associated with a specific population (geriatric, adult, pediatric), then work with clients from the population you've been studying. After the third semester, you complete two 12-week rotations. These more advanced immersions in the field enable you to work full-time alongside practicing occupational therapists.
After finishing your fieldwork, you return in the spring to complete one final semester of academic work. Upon successful completion of the M.S. in Occupational Therapy, you may take the national certification examination. In 2012, first-time test takers from our program had an 89% pass-rate, surpassing the national average pass-rate on the test.
In 2012, U.S. News and World Report ranked our program 36th among 155 Occupational Therapy programs nationwide.
The Occupational Therapy Program was first awarded accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) in January of 1985. Our program is fully accredited.

Gingerbread House Decorating!
I never got a chance to post pictures of the kids decorating their gingerbread house a week or so ago.
That's Ada's special stuffed animal, Birdy.
Henry's hair constantly looks like this in the back. When you get it wet it curls, but it never stays even with gel.
I took three pictures in a row, and I realized later in one picture Ada is licking the gingerbread house!
This was before he learned to break out of baby jail. It only lasted a week. :( If it's not closed in a circle he will push it open. If it's closed in a circle he will just lift it up and crawl under.
The problem is our house is so big and he just runs off and gets into everything, way worse than the girls. He's very smart and analytical so he will puzzle through every situation. He's fast too!
Baby containment fail.
It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't put everything in his mouth, climb to the tippy top of every peak he can locate, and smash every object he can. He's like a tiny caveman. Thank God he hasn't discovered how to make fire yet.
Boys are weird.
I'm really frustrated with Rosie right now. She begged for contacts for the past two years and the eye doctor told her she could get them when she turned eight. So when she turned eight we went to the eye doctor and she got contacts. She wore them so proudly for a few weeks. It was the trial pair. At one point she ripped a contact, so she put her glasses back on while we waited for the contacts to come in.
Apparently during that time she decided she suddenly hates contacts. Conveniently after we spent more than $100 on a big supply of them.
So she's refusing to wear them and I am not happy. It's not like she actually hated the contacts when she was wearing them. We specifically waited until she had tried them for a few weeks and confirmed she loved them before ordering a bunch. ARGH!!!
This happened with the leftover gingerbread house icing.

In the Emerging Technologies track of the Technical Program, SC15 will examine innovative options that may drastically alter and extend the globe of HPC in the next five to fifteen years. Submissions with exceptional merit might be presented the opportunity to present at an Emerging Technologies panel session. It falls under the reasoning section as properly, most notably the portion of assisting somebody for the duration of an evacuation of the developing. Great thoughtful design and style is crucial for the realization of the transformational possible of the new technologies and breakthroughs emerging all about us. It has a specific mix of insightful principles, tangible examples of design challenges and solutions in a quantity of locations, and tantalizing peeks more than the horizon at what is coming.
Follett and the contributors to this book draw on their experiences, present topics, and trends employed by various stakeholders who have embraced emerging technologies to retool our sources for an ever-changing society. For all practical purposes, they might be regarded technologies – technologies in disguise, maybe, but technologies all the exact same.
1 of the newest of the emerging technologies, the Blackberry which replaced the older gadget like the land line, message machine with text messaging and other characteristics that have taken control of our lives. Technologies is mandating their organization, giving them info that they just assume to be correct, and for that reason technologies is controlling their life which is the definition of Technopoly.
But, needless to say that 1 of the purposes of an education is to give us greater control of our situation. We ought to also be cognizant of the Invisible technologies that are spinoffs of Technopoly as it trudges on and redefines cultures and societies-and us. I went to the very first national media reform conference organized by McChesney's group in 2004, held in, of all areas, Madison. Despite years of formal education that a lot of have the benefit of, the dilemma cuts across every single social class. His name was Jacques Ellul, and a tiny but devoted group of followers contemplate him a genius.
Save for minimal textbook exposure in our formal education systems, or fireside chats in a a lot more standard setting, not several avenues exists for an enriching cultural knowledge and therein lie the dilemma. Probably the solution is not even technology primarily based and we need to rethink the education system in terms of content material and exposure of the younger generation. But regrettably, since of income-making approach of media and lack of interest by government, quite much less perform is done in spreading the education.

The webcam stopped working. It was probably being plugged into a different USB slot, and the driver was re-installing (why does that happen if you use a different slot?), but the re-install was failing: "The class installer has denied the request to install or upgrade this device."
Anyway, to cut a long story short, and for the benefit of future googlers, the problem must have been that some webcam files had been installed under a different username, and were failing to be overwritten. Having logged in with the correct user, the re-install succeeded, and now it's working for the other user too.
In case you're wondering, both users are administrators, so it wasn't that.
Update: I typed too soon - after unplugging and replugging the webcam it stopped working again.
This time I logged back in as the user it works for, plugged back in, then looked at the list of driver files (via Device Manager). I worked my way through the list, finding each file in Explorer and looking at the properties of each file, and three that were executables had some text on the Properties General tab saying that the file had been copied from another computer and were blocked. For each one I clicked the "Unblock" box and then "Apply", then unplugged the webcam, logged out and in to the other account, plugged the webcam in, and hey-presto, this time it worked.
Crossing-fingers that it lasts this time.

Souffle Cake in the Pink
So I haven't posted in quite some time.. again!! And I never did reply to that food tag event.. sorry!! I've been busy and not really in the mood for blogging much. But I wanted to participate in the In the Pink event hosted by la dolce vita for breast cancer awareness. This is a usual molten chocolate cake kind of dessert, and although they are called fallen chocolate cake, mine didn't fall much. But they were delicious anyway... and I accompanied them with a cheating strawberry sauce. I melted some vanilla gelato from Trader Joe's and mixed it with strawberry puree. The dessert was very tasty, although I thought the recipe was going to turn out something more of a dense, chocolate cake instead of the molten in the middle, airy on the outside, kind of cake when served warm. But it was still delicious! I tried it this morning when it was all cool and it is more of the texture I was looking for... So maybe when reheated it'll keep that denser texture and be even better. Experimentation will follow. In any case, this dessert was definitely pink! (I baked them in mini brioche tins for a more exciting shape) Thanks for hosting this event, Emily... It was a lot of fun to participate in (And I am glad I actually found out about this event in time to participate in it!! Hopefully I'll be able to do the same for the next SHF) and I can't wait to see all the other pink desserts that are promoting breast cancer awareness.
Individual Fallen Chocolate Cakes
You can substitute 5 ounces of unsweetened baking chocolate for the semisweet if need be, but you'll also have to increase the sugar by 6 tablespoons, for a total of 7/8 cup. To melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave oven, heat chocolate alone at 50% power for 2 minutes; stir chocolate, add butter, and continue heating at 50% for another 2 minutes, stopping to stir after 1 minute. If chocolate is not yet entirely melted, heat an additional 30 seconds at 50% power.
Serves 8
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), plus extra for ramekins
8 ounces semisweet chocolate coarsely chopped
4 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour plus extra for ramekins
1. Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Generously butter and flour (or use cocoa powder) eight 6-ounce ramekins or Pyrex custard/baking cups; tap out excess flour and position ramekins on shallow roasting pan, jelly roll pan, or baking sheet. Meanwhile, melt 8 tablespoons butter and chocolate in medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of almost simmering water, stirring once or twice, until smooth; remove from heat. (Or melt chocolate and butter in microwave oven. See instructions above.)
2. Beat eggs, yolk, vanilla, salt, and sugar at highest speed in bowl of a standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment until volume nearly triples, color is very light, and mixture drops from beaters in a smooth, thick stream, about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, beat for 10 minutes using a hand-held electric mixer and large mixing bowl.) Scrape egg mixture over melted chocolate and butter; sprinkle flour over egg mixture. Gently fold egg and flour into chocolate until mixture is uniformly colored. Ladle or pour batter into prepared ramekins. (Can be covered lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to eight hours. Return to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.)
3. Bake until cakes have puffed about 1/2-inch above rims of ramekins, have a thin crust on top, and jiggle slightly at center when ramekins are shaken very gently, 12 to 13 minutes. Run a paring knife around inside edges of ramekins to loosen cakes and invert onto serving plates; cool for 1 minute and lift off ramekins. Sieve light sprinkling of confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder over cakes to decorate, if desired, and serve immediately with optional whipped cream.

I bought a bag of lemons for my marmalade experiment last weekend. I only used 2 and have 4 lemons left.
In the spirit of canning and jamming, I decided to make lemon curd.
Among the 6 canning books I borrowed from the library is one titled Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It: And Other Cooking Projects by Karen Solomon.
This book does not have a lot of jam recipes but it has a lot of other interesting projects. Like making your own crackers and marshmallow. It also has a section for curing meat and fish. We are not eating meat right now but I am really interested in the beef jerky recipe.
After the hiccup from last week's marmalade, I thought I'd be extra careful and do some recipe comparison.
This lemon curd is supposed to be something you can eat with a spoon or on top of a toast or scones, as you can see from the photo in the book below.
I have made lemon curd numerous times in the past through baking through Rose's Heavenly Cakes (RHC). The lemon curd recipe in RHC is really good but is not something that I could eat with a spoon. Even used within cake layers, it is pretty rich.
Karen Solomon's recipe looks to be more to my taste. Comparing Rose's and Karen's, Karen use only mostly whole eggs with only 1 egg yolk. Most of the lemon curd recipe out there (including Rose's) uses only egg yolks. This recipe also uses less sugar. I also compared the recipe with 2 other lemon curd recipes I found (I did borrow 6 cookbooks, :)). And verdict is Karen's recipe seems to be the least rich.
Conclusion: less egg yolks and sugar = less rich lemon curd = a happier me = let's make this!
Here is a mixture of eggs, sugar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Butter is not added yet - also something different in the recipe. But instead the mixture is warmed first before butter is added.
I did get a bit concerned whether it would get thick with less yolks and sugar. I thought the high ratio of egg yolks and sugar are the main contributor to the consistency of lemon curd.
Also, having been
As it turns out, I should not have any doubts, because ta-da, lemon curd.
And it is really good. Zesty and tangy with just a hint of sweetness. It is the kind of lemon curd that I could eat with a spoon, or slather onto homemade Whole Wheat Bread, as in the photo below.
I will not be posting the recipe for this as I followed it exactly. I did find a similar recipe out on epicurious. If you are interested in checking out this book, see if your local library carries it. Mine does so yours might. I have since ordered it from Amazon and look forward to making other recipes from it.

qaumasth fialh skwlhkpbrwtwn!
I'm not sure of much of what you are saying here. As I read the passage Paul
is trying to tell his readers that the way they fulfill their obligations to
one another, especially those in close relationships, is that how they treat
each other says lots about how they believe concerning Christ. The marriage
is intended to be a picture of the relationship Christ desires to have with
His church. Men should imitate Christ in what he has done for the church.
Women should find themselves in this loving relationship in the position of
the church. Likewise, the church must accept its position as the bride.
back to the issue, from a psychological point, men choose to love; women
respond to love. Likewise, Jesus chose to love; we love Him because He first
loved us.
enough soap box.

CBS' Monday line-up was down across the board — and an NBC news special led its 10 o'clock time slot — on a night featuring atypical viewership due to news coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings.
How I Met Your Mother opened The Eye's night with an audience of 6.6 million total viewers and a 2.6 demo rating, dipping 6 percent and a tenth from its last fresh outing. Leading out of that, Rules of Engagement (6.1 mil/2.0) slipped two tenths to a season low.
Come 9 pm, 2 Broke Girls (7.5 mil/2.3) dropped 14 and 23 percent to an all-time demo low, as did Mike & Molly (7.65 mil/2.2, down 15 percent). Hawaii Five-0's "prequel" episode capped CBS' run with 7.65 mil/1.8, down 11 and 14 percent, matching a series-low demo and placing third in the 10 o'clock hour.
On ABC, Dancing With the Stars drew 13.4 mil/2.2, ticking up a tenth, while Castle (10.4 mil/2.1) dipped 12 percent and a tenth. (Sorry folks, no recap this week, busy with Dallas. Anything good happen…?)
RELATED | The Voice Recap: A 'Battle' at the Better-Than-OK Corral
NBC's The Voice opened Battle Rounds with 14.3 mil and a 5.1, up 2 percent week-to-week and hitting its best numbers since March 12. NBC's news special drew 8.9 mil/3.1.
RELATED | The Following Recap: Lawman on the Lam
Fox's Bones (6.5 mil/1.9) and The Following (6.4 mil/2.1) each ticked down a tenth. The CW's Oh Sit! returned to 1.1 mil and a 0.4, attracting a few more viewers than The Carrie Diaries. 90210 was flat with 560K/0.2.
RELATED | Dallas Season Finale Recap: The J.R. Mystery Is Solved — Plus: Did Pam Ewing Return?
And a few Sunday notes: HBO's Game of Thrones drew an all-time high audience of 4.7 million viewers, up from the season opener's 4.4 mil (and amassing 5.8 mil across multiple airings). Veep's Season 2 premiere led out of that with 1.2 million viewers, up 11 percent from its freshman finale and its second-most watched episode ever. Over on AMC, after kicking off its sixth season with 3.4 million viewers, Mad Men dropped in Week 2 to 2.7 million.
