"The Beauty of A Second was an online competition that ran over the course of several months towards the end of 2011. Essentially a method to drive interest in Montblanc's new chronograph watch, the Nicholas Rieussec, people were invited to "seize the moment" and create a one-second video (using any digital format) on any subject so long as the video highlighted the "beauty of a second". As well as the individual 3300 videos submitted, people were also invited to choose between 2-60 of the videos and create a playlist (which were also judged). As part of the creative process for these playlists, people were invited to choose music from Montblanc's audio library. The album The Beauty of A Second features 12 cues composed by German composer Marcus Loeber that were used to accompanying many of the video playlists, as well as during some of the internet-based promotional material ("Nicolas Rieussec (Original Theme)"). Composer Marcus Loeber's 20-year experience in composing music for commercials, together with his focus on piano (he has released several albums featuring compositions for solo piano) has resulted in a series of tracks based around piano that quickly establish feeling and emotion. This is necessary since these pieces have been composed to be used in videos that can be as short as 2 seconds or only as long as 60 seconds. The majority of the tracks have a strong rhythmic aspect to them that drives the music forward and gives the videos that they support energy and cohesion. This latter property is particularly important as it glues together clips that can be a bit jarring because of the variety of some of the clips. "Watching The Flow No. 4 (Extended Mix)" and "Tourbillion (Extended Mix)" are good examples where Loeber weaves a variety of rhythms from synth percussion and what sounds like a glockenspiel around a base solo piano thread. These rhythm-based tracks all give the feeling of the passage of time that links in with the whole idea behind the competition (and the product). As well as the extensive use of rhythm, the careful use of certain instruments and motifs also reinforce the idea of time and timepieces: for example, the glockenspiel motif at the beginning of "Watching The Flow No. 4 (Extended Mix)" and "Watching The Flow (Competition Version)" evokes the sudden ringing of an alarm clock at the start of another day. Some tracks however do have a more emotional feel to them rather that the driven energy of tracks such as "Tourbillion (Extended Mix)". "At The Very Moment (Minimal Piano)" and "Moment (Solo Piano)" have a delicate quality that's clearly aimed to those competitors requiring a slower-paced, more reflective mood for their video compilations. These moodier pieces tend to be played on solo piano and a significant number of cues on the album feature only piano, including some versions of larger scale orchestral versions created for the competition itself (e.g., "Hands (Orchestral Competition Version)" and "Hand (Solo Piano Version)"). It is the solo piano tracks that linger in the mind once the album has come to an end. There's a simplistic quality in tracks such as "Hands (Solo Piano Version)", "At The Very Moment (Minimal Piano)" and "Moment (Solo Piano)" that (paradoxically) are timeless and I found myself being lost in the moment. It is at these times the album is at its strongest. Unfortunately, the occasional use of obviously synth-derived strings is grating and gives a cheap sound (e.g., the various orchestral versions of "Hands"). Also, the majority of the tracks featured in The Beauty of A Second tend to be static even though much of the music has a driven quality (again paradoxical for a project such as this): although there's the energy of the rhythms, the music tends not to be developed on from the ideas set out at the beginning of the cue. Rather, the music repeats several times, probably to allow for the tracks to be edited down to the length of the videos created. The slower, more emotional tracks succeed in avoiding this. The Beauty of A Second therefore is a mixed bag; a collection of short "competition" cues, tracks where some of these ideas have been taken and expanded them up but not necessarily developed in a satisfying way, but there are some tracks that are capable of leaving a mark on the listener. In the end it is the tracks that feature solo piano that make this album worthwhile and I would recommend this album (with some reservations) for these solo pieces alone. The Beauty of A Second is available from a variety of online digital stores and many of the videos can be viewed on YouTube. Audio samples can be found HERE.

"At the Very Moment is the third piano album from German composer Marcus Loeber. His first two albums, Songs For Emelie (2004) andTwo Sides (2005), both blew me away, and At the Very Moment has had no less of an impact. The twenty tracks represent moments in the composer's life, told through music in what Loeber calls a "minimal piano" style. A few of the tracks are played on keyboards or have electronic enhancement, but most are played on a beautiful grand piano. The album is available for download, but give yourself a treat and buy the CD. It includes a 64-page booklet with full-color photos, the stories behind many of the pieces, and a variety of musings by Marcus Loeber himself. It's a very impressive package! And the music, ahhh, the music! Loeber is truly a consummate artist who composes and performs from a very personal place within, revealing his heart and the truths that live there. Some of the pieces are joyful, while some are darker and more introspective. Although there is a variety of musical styles, the album has a seamless flow. This one is certain to be on my Favorites list for 2011! I can't tell you about all twenty tracks, but I'll hit some of the highlights. At the Very Moment begins with "Cold Winter," a slow, quiet piece that beautifully describes winter's peaceful chill. "Waltz in G Minor" was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, where The Beatles recorded. The waltz is in a classical style with a contemporary sensibility - sweet and graceful. "Reflections" was inspired by a cab ride in New York City as the sun was about to set. Performed on keyboard, this piece has a mysterious, haunting quality that I really like. "Inspiration" truly is minimal piano, with lots of open space and a gentle touch. "Hope" is also very spare, but it conveys a very emotional message that touches deeply. I love this one! I also love "Little Waltz in A Minor," a melancholy piece that seems almost tragic. Again, with a minimal number of notes, Loeber conveys so much feeling. An alternate version of this wonderful piece comes later in the album. "Menuet in A Minor" begins in the upper registers of the piano, sounding almost like a charming little music box. The music builds as it evolves, and the middle section is big and booming with lots of bass octaves; then the original theme alternates with the middle theme. This one sounds like fun to play! "Missing You" is a gorgeous tribute to a beloved Dachshund who graced the Loeber family for twelve years. I can relate! It is followed by "Arthur's Rag," and Arthur is the doxie's successor. Playful and carefree, it's a delight (I'm sure Arthur is, too!). "Carrousel" sounds like a haunted merry-go-round or an old French film. The left hand plays a steady oom-pa-pah while the right hand dances around the piano - pure fun and sure to bring a smile! "At the End of the Session" is a lovely improvisation recorded at Abbey Road after the other tracks were finished with time remaining in the session. "Time To Leave" concludes this incredible album. Recorded in Berlin, it is a lingering "so long for now," At the Very Moment is an exceptional album in every way, and I give it my highest recommendation. It is available fromwww.marcusloeber.com, Amazon, iTunes, and CD Baby. Bravo, Marcus! Kathy Parsons MainlyPiano.com 8/27/11" - Kathy Parsons

" Two Sides Marcus Loeber 2005 / Billibaberecords 137'33" (2 discs) "Two Sides" is an exciting second release from German pianist Marcus Loeber. This two-disc set includes a booklet with liner notes and explanations about where the inspiration for the songs came from in both English and German, and photos. Beautifully designed, this is a great package inside and out. Loeber says that the two discs differ in that Disc 1 is more quiet and pensive while Disc 2 is bigger and more experimental. This is true to a point, but overall, these CDs are both fairly quiet and introspective. The second CD does contain more jazz elements, but the majority of those pieces are still on the peaceful side of the musical spectrum. To make things even better, there are three duets with Peter Kater! Holy smokes! Is this piano heaven or what?!?! Disc 1 begins with a melancholy piece called "All Things Will End." This beautiful piece is played simply, but with deep emotion that conveys sadness and pain, but also hope. This is just a preview of what is to come. Next is a sweet little waltz called "Moonshine" that was inspired by a concert Loeber played in the Hamburg planetarium. "For You" is a gentle love song that again is simple but very emotional. "Saturday" is a beautiful, minimalist improvisation that was composed on a rainy evening in the dark with just a candle on the piano, and is as peaceful as it gets. Very open, but also very personal - wow! "Elvin's Tune" was recorded live as a tribute to the great jazz drummer Elvin Jones. Very sad and quiet, the piece is wonderful, but I wish the concert applause wasn't included - a very minor criticism. "Thursday" is another improvisation and one of my favorites. Pensive, reflective, and exploratory, this is a real beauty. "Moment 2" is another favorite - gently bittersweet and very graceful. "Conversation in D" is the first of the duets with Peter Kater. The duets were recorded so that the sound from one piano comes from one speaker and the second piano comes from the other. The two artists had never met or played together before, but the duets are seamless and enchanting. Kater is one of the most incredible improvisers on the planet, and also one of the best duet musicians, so these collaborations are amazing. Disc 2 opens with a sprightly little prelude called "The Hop-a-Long Song" that gives a hint that the second disc will be somewhat lighter than the first. "Butterflies" is the perfect musical description of the lightness and beauty of these creatures. "Arpeggio #1" was written for a film about runners. A theme and variations style makes this piece a bit more formal than some of the others, but it has a lovely flow. "Promenade" has a light-hearted ragtime style that depicts a walk with a young daughter on a sunny afternoon - quite different from the other pieces. "A Spanish Mood" is also different - very classically Spanish, it is easy to hear the possibility of this piece being played on guitar. "Monday" and "Rainy Day" are also favorites. Both are very dark and brooding, and were either recorded on electronic piano or with a lot of reverb, creating an atmospheric effect of openness and space. "All Things Will End" is a duet version of the opening track of Disc 1. The two artists are in such synch that it's very hard to tell there are two of them playing. "Eruption" is the most experimental piece in the collection. Very discordant and abstract, this is the antidote to the quiet musings of most of the rest of the music. Interesting, and Loeber did tell us Disc 2 was going to be different! "Dear Nathan" is a sweet, flowing lullaby for Peter Kater's young son. "Clockwork" is another experimental piece, but is much gentler than "Eruption." I really like this one a lot! "September" closes the collection with a piece that depicts one of the worst days of Loeber's life when his little daughter suddenly became very ill. This piece was composed and recorded at the end of that day, and Loeber says he'll never play it again. So, you can see that the music from this CD is varied in styles, moods, and emotions. It is a tour de force that allows us to get quite well-acquainted with Marcus Loeber and his music. I'm very, very impressed and hope "Two Sides" will bring Loeber the international recognition that he deserves. The CD is currently available only fromwww.marcusloeber.com. Recommended!

"Songs For Emelie, Volume 1 Marcus Loeber 2004 / Billibaberecords 73'02" My first impression of "Songs For Emelie" from the beautiful black and white photo of an adult hand holding the hand of a tiny baby was that this was going to be an album of lullabies. What a happy surprise to discover a rich, full collection of piano solos that range from quiet, peaceful songs that could be used as lullabies, to much more upbeat, jazzy, and even bluesy pieces. Most of the nineteen tracks were inspired by German composer/pianist Marcus Loeber's baby daughter, Emelie, but other aspects of Loeber's life are also incorporated, and the extensive liner notes (in both German and English) give deep insight into the music as well as the musician. A few of the tracks have some synth additions, but most of them are spontaneous piano improvisations that are cohesive, melodic, and soothing. It's difficult to single out favorites in an album that's consistently this good, but a few jump out for me. The opening track, "The Beginning," has a very unusual rhythm track - the sound of Emelie's heartbeat from an ultrasound recording made before she was born. Loeber plays an ambient piano line over the sound of the heartbeat, creating a distinctive opening to his album. "First Impression" conveys the mix of emotions Loeber felt as a new father the day after Emelie was born. A free improvisation, it is deeply personal and evocative, capturing the essence of what he was experiencing at the time. "Good Night" is as peaceful and gentle a lullaby as ever was. "One Finger" begins as a jazzy one-finger melody that is joined by the other nine digits later in the piece. A cool, breezy jazz piece with a nice walking bass line, we're starting to realize that this is a very versatile pianist! "Sarabande" is a delightful surprise. Sounding a bit like a giant music box that is slightly off-kilter, the melancholy melody is just beautiful - a dance that keeps changing directions. One of my favorites! "Wide land" is a bit more classical in structure, and was inspired by the view from Loeber's studio. Very pastoral and melodic, one gets a strong sense of peace and tranquility. "Thoughts" is a bit more ambient and floating - "I have managed to give my utmost bliss a musical frame" (from the liner notes). "Moment" is another favorite. Arising from the death of a good friend, it is obviously very sad and poignant, coming straight from the heart with both grief and questioning - quite a "moment" that speaks volumes. "Spur 29" was also inspired by tragedy - the death of a three-year-old girl at the hands of her parents. I have listened to this piece at least a dozen times, and it still brings tears to my eyes. "Tiger's Tune" was written for the first son of some friends, and muses on how the birth of a child changes the parents' priorities so immediately. Introspective and thoughtful, but full of warmth and love, this is also a standout piece. "First Steps" is very interesting. It begins as an etude for six hands on two pianos, and celebrates Emelie's growing range of activities. Kind of noisy and fun, this is quite different from the rest of the album. Next, there is a minute of silence, and then Loeber finishes the CD with a wonderful blues piece that is slinky, seductive, and very dark. It is not listed as a bonus track, but I think it must be. Don't miss it! "Songs For Emelie" is an outstanding debut from Marcus Loeber, and I predict we're going to be hearing a lot more from this artist! Samples are available on www.songsforemelie.com, and purchases can be made there as well. Very highly recommended! Kathy Parsons MainlyPiano.com 12/20/04" - Kathy Parsons

Last Hall post, I swear
Anyway, I held yesterday that Gossage, not Sutter, belongs in the hall, and I'm sticking with that. Rob Neyer, whom I generally like despite my recent critique, wrote a very good article today along these lines. Neyer got into the numbers a little more extensively than I did (shocker), making the strong point that you can subtract Sutter's entire career out of Gossage's and you'd still leave Gossage with a decent (though non-HOF) resume. Translation: Gossage did everythng Sutter did plus more. By contrast, Mike Bauman at mlb.com wrote a totally unpersuasive article in support of Sutter's election, the lynchpin of which can be summed up with, "I saw Sutter in a game once and he did well that day." We've also been treated to more of this stuff about Sutter changing the game, although today's word has been "pioneer" instead of "revolutionized." So now Sutter is Daniel Boone instead of George Washington. Either way, that's not what the hall of fame is meant to honor, and if it were, shouldn't Sutter's managers, not Sutter himself, get the credit for being the pioneer? (Neyer's argument) Not worth losing sleep over, as there are certainly less deserving players in the hall of fame, and I don't think Sutter's election will open the floodgates to a whole pool of non-Hall of Famers. But these are my thoughts.
Some thoughts on the rest of the voting. Rice, Gossage, and Dawson all cracked 60%, which bodes well for their chances in future lean years, although Rice only has 3 more years of eligibility. I still think Dawson will get in eventually, and I think at some point most writers will figure that there is no reason to have Sutter in but keep Gossage out. Unlike Rice, they've both got enough years of eligibility left to gradually gain enough votes to hit the magic 75%. Blyleven got 53%, which I think is on the higher end of his vote percentages over the years. I wonder if maybe as more pitchers are let in who didn't reach 300 wins (i.e. Glavine?) the voters will look more favorably upon him. We may never know though, because by the time those guys get in Blyleven will be off the ballot. Lee Smith got 234 votes for 45%, which means 234 writers are crazy, but fortunately not enough to risk Smith's enshrinement any time soon. Dale Murphy only got 10%, so the Dale Murphy insurgency seems to be weakening, or at least so says Donald Rumsfeld. Forty writers would have pucketted Albert Belle, which means he got just enough to stay on for one more year.
I see that only Gary DiSarcina and Alex Fernandez got no votes at all. Hal Morris got 5. Gregg Jeffries got 2. Walt Weiss got 1. Without taking too seriously the voting process of a sports hall of fame, this troubles me. Either there are voters who are completely unqualified to judge what is and is not excellence, or there are voters who have such little respect for their responsibility and for their voting power that they feel justified in wasting it on players they know don't belong in Cooperstown. Either way, this is unacceptable, and these writers should be deprived of their right to vote. Reasonable people may disagree on Jim Kaat; nobody can argue with a straight face that Walt Weiss was a hall of famer or even a very good player. I know that the voters may list up to ten names, but this doesn't mean they should list all ten just for the sake of it. Most of us would love the chance to vote for baseball's highest recognition of accomplishment; take it seriously writers, out of respect to yourselves, the fans, the players, and the game.
Boy, the view from this high horse is great. Ok, I'll come down, hang on...

Main advantages of using robots for protective coating:
- Quality improvement by accurately controlling the dry film thickness
- Improvement of working environment
- Better cost effectiveness; An industrial paint robot is not as expensive as many people think
Supplementary advantages:
- Consistent surface quality
- Savings in energy
- Savings in paint consumption
- Less masking needed
- Less exposure to paint dust and solvents
- Optimization of production time
Quality Improvements
For repetitive paint spraying jobs, robots may be superior compared to human operators in terms of the uniformity for what concerns the paint work that is produced. When chosing a robot to do the paint work one or more of the following improvements will be obtained:
- High positioning precision of the steel surface in relationship to the paint gun
- High repeatability and transport of parts on line tracking conveyors
- No deviation due to fatigue or other human related spray patterns
- Highly accurate inspection and measurement using in-situ DFT measurements etc.
These process improvements not only improve the visual appearance of a paint job, but in terms of spray painting, better overlaps is achieved due to the tighter control of the gun angle and controlled distance from the spray tip to the surface to be coated.
This not only improves the layer thickness consistency, but it also gives a major saving in material use and therefore a great saving in cost. Similar improvements can be achieved for other surface operations such as zinc spray metallizing and of course for sand blasting as well.
"Need more information about surface treatment with robot? Give me a call !"
Improvement of the Working Environment
In order to get the best long term performance from the work force it is important to make the working environment as conducive as possible to obtain high quality and a high output. Automation should be used to reduce fatigue and to minimize the risk of injury, and with the current trend of increased health and safety legislation it is predicted that companies within surface coating should consider automated procedures:
- Shot blasting in order to eliminate the heavy work of controlling stiff blast hoses and the noisy and dusty work environment
- Metallizing is not only a repetitive job, but also expose the operator for UV light and zinc dust.
- Spray painting not requires fatiguing hand actions to apply the spray fan accurately on the surface, but may also expose the painter to dangerous VOC levels and if not correctly protected.
There are thus many possibilities to improve both the quality of the surface treatment, but also to improve the working conditions to which the operators are exposed.
Many jobs within the coating industry take place in an environment which is really bad and unhealthy to the human body. Many organic solvents from paint spraying are to be avoided for the human body, and sand blasting booths are quite noisy and can cause hearing damage and they are generally very dusty.
Robots can easily handle these environments if they are protected in a paint suit, or for shot blasting the robot needs a protective neoprene suit.
Cost Effectiveness
Our surface coating robots are able to to operate continuously on a line 24/7 in order to get the best productivity output from them, but if they are running on lines staffed by human operators who require breaks it is not possible for the robots to run 24/7. Often it is the human operators in the process (DFT measurements etc.) who limits the output of robot cells in surface coating. There is of course the natural savings as a robot should not have salary and does not have the same needs for work breaks etc, but in the cost saving equation the benefit of the robot can be mentioned as:
- The life time of a standard industrial robot is at least 10 years when correctly maintained and protected.
- The robot requires less air ventilation and no heating of substituted air during the cold months of the year.
- The robot will perform a consistent coating job that will save paint and other consumables.
It is our experience that those previously employed people in coating operations are typically trained as process technicians who can perform program changes and optimization of the robotic coating processes.
The scribing process can be performed using off-line programming when the spray fan widths is proven. This reduces some of the programming work, but there is no 100% substitution for on-site programming.

During the past week, there has been a sudden surge in online extortion campaigns, against regular users and security researchers alike.
The most devious of these was a campaign detected by Forcepoint security researcher Roland Dela Paz, and which tried to trick users into thinking hackers had gotten their hands on sensitive or sexually explicit images.
Attackers wanted payments of $320 to a Bitcoin address or they would have sent the compromising materials to the victim's friends.
Massive spam wave delivered fake threats
This attempted blackmail message was the subject of a massive spam campaign that took place between August 11 and 18. Dela Paz says attackers sent out extortion emails to over 33,500 victims.
Most of the targets were from Australia and France. The extortion campaign was particularly active in Australia, where it caught the eye of officials at the Australian National University, who issued a safety warning on the topic, alerting students of the emails.
The extortion attempt was obviously fake, says Dela Paz.
"The scale of this campaign suggests that the threat is ultimately empty," the expert explained. "If the actors did indeed possess personal details of the recipients, it seems likely they would have included elements (e.g. name, address, or date of birth) in more targeted threat emails in order to increase their credibility."
Dela Paz warns that the campaign is still ongoing. Users can recognize the blackmail attempts by the following subject line formats:
"{Three random letters}: [{recipient email}] {date and time} I havе sоmеthing that can mаке yоur lifе wоrse"
"{Three random letters}: [{recipient email}] {date and time} I would not liкe tо start our knоwingaсquаintаnсе with this"
"{Three random letters}: [{recipient email}] {date and time} I'm not hаpрy with yоur behаvior lately"
"{Three random letters}: [{recipient email}] {date and time} Dont yоu thinк thаt your deviсе wоrкs wеird?"
"{Three random letters}: [{recipient email}] {date and time} I think thаt it is not as funny for you as it is funny for mе"
Hackers tried to blackmail Swiss security researcher
In addition, during the past week, there were also extortion attempts sent to organizations. A hacker group calling itself ANX-Rans tried to extort a French company.
Another group calling itself CyberTeam also tried to extract a ransom payment of 5 Bitcoin (~$20,000) from Abuse.ch, the website of a prominent Swiss security researcher.
These DDoS threats in the hope of extracting Bitcoin payments are called DDoS-for-Bitcoin or RDoS (Ransom DDoS) attacks. RDoS attacks have been on the rise since mid-June after a South Korean hosting provider paid a ransom of nearly $1 million after web ransomware encrypted its customer servers.
Ever since then, RDoS groups became extremely active hoping for a similar payday. We've already covered the active groups at the time in an article here.
Group posing as Anonymous targeted US companies
Since then, the most prominent RDoS campaign that took place was in mid-July when a group using the name of the Anonymous hacker collective tried to extort payments from US companies under the threat of DDoS attacks.
At the time, Bleeping Computer obtained a copy of the ransom email from cyber-security firm Radware, who was investigating the threats.
Radware said that despite posing as Anonymous hackers, this was the same group who tried to obtain ransoms of $315,000 from four South Korean banks (for these RDoS extortions the group posed as Armada Collective, another famous hacking crew).
"This is not an isolated case. This is a coordinated large-scale RDoS spam campaign that appears to be shifting across regions of the world," Radware security researcher Daniel Smith told Bleeping Computer via email at the time.
"All ransom notes received have the same expiration date," he added. "In RDoS spam campaigns like this one the actors threaten multiple victims with a 1Tbps attack on the same day."
Most RDoS extortion attempts are empty threats
The group also claimed it was in control of a Mirai botnet made up of compromised IoT devices and was capable of launching DDoS attacks of 1 Tbps. No such attacks have been observed following the ransom demands on US companies.
In research presented at the USENIX security conference last week, researchers from Cisco, Akamai, Google, and three US universities revealed that despite having a reputation of being able to take down some of the largest online companies around, the most variants of the Mirai botnet were mainly used to target online gaming servers.
Most of these DDoS attacks on gaming servers were also relatively small as multiple botnets broke up IoT devices (DDoS resources) among them.
In addition to the group posing as Anonymous, Radware also reported on multiple RDoS extortion attempts on gaming providers that also took place in July.
"We suggest companies do not pay the ransom," Smith said at the time, a recommendation still valid today, as this encourages more blackmailers to join in.

AMAZING!!! This was a big hit at dinner. One piece left and there was only 3 of eating it. Only did approx 2 cups of turkey. Used turkey broth. Omitted the peas and added green beans and corn. For never making a potpie in my life this one was amazing!!!! I will be making again for sure.
Dec 1, 2019
Absolutely scrumptious! We opted to add a bottom crust and sneak in a pinch of cayenne and salt. I'm not sure I'll ever use another pot pie recipe!

Love this recipe but my problem was a big pot of leftover gravy with turkey so I did sub it in this time ,a few seasonings smidge of tarragon and it turned out very well.

I thought this recipe is great. Making for second time tonight. I did add a little thyme, thank you so much for the recipe
Dec 28, 2015
I love this recipe, this will be my second time making it :). The only thing we decided as a family is my kids wanted a bottom crust too. Which with two teens made it go further and it was super easy getting a store bought deep dish pie crust that comes in 2 just cooked it from thawed a few min added all ingredients. Which we found perfectly seasoned Amazing my hubby raves about my pot pies lol .. Thanks soo much
Nov 30, 2015
Way too easy.... Way Too Good!!!! After reading other reviews & based on the picture, I was prepared to increase the sauce mixture since we like our pot pies creamy. I used 4&1/2 cups of broth, 10Tbs flour & 3/4 C half & half. I used fresh potatoes, onions and celery, but used 1 heaping cup of frozen mixed veggies (carrots, peas, corn, green beans & baby lima beans) and 3C of leftover turkey. I also adjusted seasonings with seasoned salt, pepper, & paprika. Next time I will use some turmeric. The filling was quick & easy to prepare. After planning this for our Sunday dinner, we got a last minute dinner invitation that we didn't want to pass up. So I went ahead & made the filling, then I froze half of it and put the other half in the fridge. On Monday after work, I assembled the pot pie with the refrigerated portion & baked it as directed. It was outstanding! I love the versatility of this recipe. Instead of making a pot pie with the frozen portion, I might just heat it & serve it over biscuits. I can count on this recipe as another keeper from Taste of Home!
Nov 4, 2015
Definitely going to make this again, but I agree it could use more seasonings. I added sage and thyme, will experiment more next time I make it. Also, given the state of my freezer I find it easier to freeze the filling by itself and thaw it out before assembling and baking the second pot pie.

Earlier in the year we made cushions and quilts for some of the Syrian refugee families who are moving into Stroud District. These were much appreciated by the three families who moved into the area in the summer of 2016.
This week we donated another three quilts to the Stroud and District Furniture bank. They are involved in furnishing the refugee homes, and will give these quilts to the fourth family, who are moving into a house in Stroud this month.
Thanks to all who helped make the quilts.

$898 Million Of Ice Seized, But Does It Help Indigenous Communities?
The biggest ice bust in Australia's history took place in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne this morning, with authorities seizing almost 1 billion dollars worth of the narcotic. This may seem like good news to those living in the communities most susceptible to the drug's devastating effects, but will this bust make much of a difference to their situation in the grand scheme of things?

Midnight Sun is a romantic drama film planned to be released in July of this year. That's an upcoming American project created under the direction of Scott Speer. Eric Kirsten worked on the scriptwriting. The creators of the film were inspired by a Japanese film with the same title released in 2006. The cast includes Bella Thorne, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Rob Riggle. The filming and principal photography started on the 12th of October 2015 in Vancouver. Midnight Sun release date has already been announced. Read further for more relevant information on the upcoming release.
Plot & Cast
Katie Price (portrayed by Bella Thorne) has lived all her life sheltered at home because of unique medical condition – the sensitivity to sunlight that can turn out fatal for her. In the film, she's 17 years old. She spent all her childhood and teenage years living together with her dad named Jack (portrayed by Rob Riggle). She's been completely housebound and has never had a chance to make friends or simply communicate with other people staying completely isolated. However, all of this happens at daylight. At night, she finally gets a chance to open up and express herself to the world. She gets to a train station to communicate with the travelers and to play guitar for them. At one of the nights, she gets acquainted to Charlie (portrayed by Patrick Schwarzenegger). He's an ex-athlete from high school. Katie has always been fond of him. They develop a deep romantic feeling toward each other which makes Katie hide her condition from Charlie.
Midnight Sun is a touching and heart-breaking film about an almost perfect summer full of love, young dreams and desires.
On the 22nd of June 2015, there was an official announcement about Scott Speer dealing with the direction of a romance film for teenagers. They decided to entitle it Midnight Sun copying the original idea of a Japanese film with the same title. Eric Kirsten created the script. The cast made up of Patrick Schwarzenegger playing the character of Charlie and Bella Thorne portraying Katie was announced almost at once. The curious thing is that the original Japanese film was, in its turn, based on a film entitled C'est la vie, mon chéri released in 1993 in Hong Kong. The production matters are carried out by John Rickard and Zack Schiller.
Midnight Sun Release Date
The film is planned for the release on the 14th of July 2017 in the USA and all over the world.

Is Amazon taking over the world? These charts will give you a hint
With Amazon Prime Day well underway, the e-commerce giant already looks set to beat even last year's blockbuster sales volume.
"They'll crush the number of items they sold on Prime Day last year," said Gene Munster, managing partner at Loup Ventures. "We expect Amazon will sell 30 to 40 percent more items on Prime Day 2017 vs. Prime Day 2016."
Last year, the self-created sales holiday was its biggest day ever, said Amazon, with worldwide orders rising more than 60 percent compared with the previous Prime Day. In the U.S., orders rose by more than 50 percent.

It is a last resort procedure when a patient is not able to be ventilated/oxygenated and/or intubated. Typically, this procedure requires the identification of certain landmarks such as the cricothyroid membrane, but what if you can't identify any landmarks? What do you do? We got Rob Bryant on the show to discuss some aspects of a recent nightmare airway case he had.

The event is usually played early in May and serves as a lead-in to The Players Championship. 2020 Tournament When: April 30-May 3, 2020Where: Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C. 2019 Wells Fargo Max Homa's second-round 63 tied for low round of the tournament, and he went on to a three-stroke victory. Homa finished at 15-under 269, three better than runner-up Joel Dahmen. 2018 TournamentJason Day closed with a 69 and claimed a two-stroke victory. Day, who birdied two of his final three holes, finished at 12-under 272. Tied for second place were Aaron Wise and Nick Watney. It was the 12th win of Day's PGA Tour career. Official Web sitePGA Tour tournament site PGA Tour Wells Fargo Championship Records: Overall: 267 - Rory McIlroy, 201518 holes: 61 - Rory McIlroy, 2015 PGA Tour Wells Fargo Championship Golf Courses: Since its inception in 2003, the Wells Fargo Championship has been played at Quail Hollow Club, a private club in Charlotte, N.C. When Wachovia withdrew as title sponsor after the 2008 tournament, the event took the name of its host course for two years. There was one exception: In 2017, the tournament was played at Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington, N.C., because Quail Hollow hosted the PGA Championship that year. The Quail Hollow Club was previously the site of the PGA Tour Kemper Open (1969-79) and the Champions Tour PaineWebber Invitational (1983-1989). Tournament Trivia and Notes: This tournament debuted in 2003 as the Wachovia Championship, and David Toms was the first winner. This wasn't the first tournament played at North Carolina's Quail Hollow Club, however. As noted above, the PGA Tour Kemper Open and Champions Tour PaineWebber Invitational were played at Quail Hollow in decades past.The first 2-time winner of this tournament was Rory McIlroy. McIlroy first won in 2010 - his first victory on the U.S. PGA Tour - and added No. 2 in 2015. In McIlroy's first victory he set a tourney 18-hole scoring record of 62; he broke that record with a 61 in 2015.Sergio Garcia led that 2005 tournament by six strokes at the start of the final round, only to lose in the playoff. That shares the PGA Tour record for largest lead at the start of the final round by a player who did not win.Furyk's playoff win in 2006 marked the third straight year the tournament required extra holes. The streak began in 2004 with Joey Sindelar's playoff win.Anthony Kim's first career win on the PGA Tour happened at the 2008 Wachovia Championship.And Rickie Fowler added his first PGA Tour victory here in 2012.The 2005 tournament was the final one in Tiger Woods' streak of 142 tournaments without missing a cut.

teaching in manila
How is it possible that waking up at 3 in the morning can feel normal? As if some strange order has been restored in the universe, at least in this extreme version of it, dominated by ashtanga yoga. Having my prana-inducing coffee, preparing for my morning ablutions, waking up, getting ready, plating my hair takes on ritual importance. All of it, inspiring the proper zone, where there is head and heart space for the practice.
Today is special. I will be teaching Mysore class in Manila--I've picked up Wednesday, 6 a.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. class at Echo Yoga on Perea in Makati, my first ever regular Manila gig outside the occasional subbing. It's also my first time to teach since I left Boracay and launched myself out into the world at large.
Since June 2011, my life has been, quite literally, a journey, spanning the Philippines, the east and west coasts of the United States, across Asia to Mysore, India, where I have been till now. All the while, taking seriously my teacher Sharath's advice: if you want to teach yoga, you have to be a student first. And for the last nine months (again, with this magical number 9, of regeneration and birth!) I have been a student of yoga.
I have been on this unconventional educational odyssey. My daily ashtanga practice went where ever I went. I danced with Pi Villaraza and the rest of the Bahay Kalipay family in Palawan. I took Mysore-style class at with Eddie Stern at Broome Street Temple in New York and Noah Williams in Los Angeles. I sampled some of New York's hippest teachers in a summer yoga festival on Governor's Island: the rockin' Dana Flynn from Laughing Lotus with live music from Sister Shree, the stoic Dharma Mitra, and a super fun breakdance-asana class with Anya Porter and hip-hop DJ. I was able to enjoy an array of teaching styles in the Telluride Yoga Festival in Colorado, from ashtangi David Swenson, shadow yoga teacher Scott Blossom, forest yoga with Alison English, yoga for the common folk with Mark Whitwell, blind-folded vinyasa with Alanna Kaivalya. I delved into bhakti yoga with my dear friends James Boag and Paul Millage in Seattle. I was introduced to Swami Lakshmanjoo through the Universal Shivite Fellowship in Culver City, Los Angeles. And, most importantly, for the last 3 months, I've been sweating under the quiet gaze of my teacher Sharath Jois in Mysore, India. At the same time I was taking philosophy classes, learning basic Sanskrit and taking classical Indian music lessons on top of kirtan. To look back at it now, I am amazed. I have learned a lot.
My main focus has not always been on my asana practice these months, however. I have been living within the context of yoga with family, friends--new and renewed--as well as my closest and dearest who were both "class" mates and teachers. The life lessons I've amassed is yoga beyond the mat.
And now, I find, it's time to bring it back into that rubber, rectangular space. I've been called home ahead of time. Now, one of the gifts of being in Manila is having the opportunity to contribute to the growing yoga community here. While I will always be a student, there comes a time when one must teach and that part of my own greater lesson is to also share some of this energy I've been blessed enough to accrue.
I will be teaching in Manila through the end of March: Mysore-style class, Echo Yoga, Wednesdays 6 a.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. Hopefully, more soon!

In ELLE USA's October 2016 Issue, Miley Cyrus reveals several truths about herself, such as, she'll never walk the red carpet again because people are hungry.
The Wrecking Ball singer disclosed to ELLE's Amanda FitzSimons, "I will never do a red carpet again. Why, when people are starving, am I on a carpet that's red? Because I'm 'important'? Because I'm 'famous'? That's not how I roll. It's like a skit—it's like Zoolander."
Miley looks very pretty on the cover as well as the editorials. Its probably one of her most honest covers yet – no drama, no antics.
Miley Cyrus Reveals Why She Joined The Voice
In addition to skipping the red carpet, the Disney-star said she joined the likes of Alicia Keys, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine as a judge on The Voice because she wanted to do something where she was "really talking", rather than somebody talking to her for five seconds.
The 23-year-old who has no publicist and shares her story without the press said she's strictly on Instagram and doesn't know how to use Snapchat.
When ELLE's Amanda FitzSimon's asked her if she was on the video-sharing app, she said, "No. I want to be. I don't know how to use it. I feel like I'll be an old lady that's too held back, because I don't keep up with it."
Miley Cyrus's full interview can be found in ELLE's October issue or here, available, on newsstands in select US cities starting Wednesday, September 14, and nationwide on Tuesday, September 20, 2016.

In this life, many married couples wish is to have kids. This is because a baby brings more joy to the couple involved. Many ladies out there keep asking; how soon can you take a pregnancy test after ovulation? Here is the best and excellent solution. Before answering this question, you need to know how the test works. For instance, the home pregnancy test detects human chorionic gonadotropin hormone. If the ovum is fertilized, it takes 6-12 days for implant to take place in the uterus.
After implantation, the body starts secreting the hormone HCG and it takes time to build up enough of them. After, they become many, where they take the next 2 days, they start secreting into pee. This means that, the right time to test your pregnancy after ovulation is 8 days. On the other hand, the latest time you should take is 16 days after your ovulation.
It is very possible for a positive result early or later because all women's bodies are different. At times, it is because you might never know when you are ovulating. However, this should not always be the case as there are ovulation kits, chart and mucus tests. This is clear evidence and you can easily know when you will or are ovulating. However, because not all women are the same, egg fertilization might also differ and therefore, the implant will differ as well.
Depending on the sensitivity of the test you will get results either earlier or before. However, you might not be able to obtain an accurate result because of the test you choose. The most accurate test is one done by the clinical doctors. In addition, it also provides earlier results unlike the home pregnancy test. The advantage with the urine clinical test is that, it can detect implant after 24hours of its formation. This means that it can detect the pregnancy as early as after 8 days of the ovulation. However, this test is time consuming and most women are very anxious to know whether they are pregnant as soon as possible. It is also expensive and inconvenient and thus, many women go back to the normal home pregnancy tests.
Testing for pregnancy using urine soon after ovulation will not give accurate results. This is because the level of HCG in in the body may not have risen to the point where it can be identified through a urine test. As we have started, the best time is 9 days, but most doctors recommend when your period is due. This means that the test should be two weeks after your ovulation. When the results are negative, there are two reasons involved.
To begin with, you might have ovulated later and this influences fertilization. This is because the sperm stays for 5 days in the body before it dies. The other reason is that you may not be pregnant. With this article, you now have a clear answer that testing very early is not effective. Therefore, the soonest you can test your pregnancy is after 8 days and above in order to get accurate results.

Before & After: IKEA FROSTA Stool Turned Bedside Table
IKEA's FROSTA Stool has become a staple item for the retailer. Why is the design so popular? Probably because they're incredibly versatile as they can work in a living room as easily as a child's bedroom; they're stackable so they can provide a bunch of extra seating on the fly without taking up any room; and, at $14.99 each, the FROSTA is super affordable. But that's only when we consider using the FROSTA as a stool. Add a lower shelf, and it elevates the little workhorse into something new. Christine shows us how to do it with a piece of wood and 4 small brackets.
Not only does this hack provide extra storage area, but it also adds solidity to the FROSTA's construction. Here's what it looks like after its transformation:
To see how Christine did it, visit Little House on the Corner. (Included is a GREAT quick tip that will help in the painting process!)

When I was a young boy, my father instructed my older brother and me of the value of a firm handshake.
"It's a sign of a man."
My brother and I were only 8 and 7, but we heeded out father's instructions.
Most of our peers were told the same by their fathers, but that didn't stop bullies from trying to crush your knuckles.
The worst was Father Gavin, the local parish priest, who tested our grips.
He almost made my friend Chuckie Lally cry from the pain.
He attempted to break my knuckles.
I stamped on his foot with my boots.
He released me and I warned him, "Don't you ever touch Chuckie."
All the boys in our parish knew Father Gavin to be one of those men who hurt boys.
We hated him.
But none of us were ever touched by him.
I still give a firm handshake, but spare Asians and Arabs the iron grip of West.
Not so the 45th President of the USA.
Donald Trump has dragged US politicians and foreign leaders closer to him as a sign of domination.
At the most recent G-8 he aggressed the newly elected President of France and Emmanuel Macron crushed the doughty pitt of # 45 until Trump signaled 'uncle'.
What a wanker.
Trump that is.
He has no idea of etiquette, but what else can you expect from the KKK.

You Are (Not) Too Young To Get Married
When you tell someone you are getting married as a 21 year old who is still in college, a student-athlete, and only works a part-time job you don't sound very established and admittedly, I wasn't. Their first response is usually a criticism about how young you are to be getting married and those reasons can vary. I was typically met with the fact that I was too young to know what I wanted or we were moving too fast. On top of that, at the time we got engaged my husband had been away most of our relationship so that really didn't help my case. It hurt to hear; especially since it was coming from people who should be happy for me. I will be honest, it started to get to me.
For a while I started to question myself but, take my advice: don't. I know that is easy for me to say since hindsight is 20/20 but, the thing about marriage is, you know when the right time is. The idea that you should date someone for X amount of time before you get married or you shouldn't get married until you have had more time to grow up is insane. In my case, my husband and I had very similar views on marriage. We were already committed to each other, we were both in it for the long haul, so for us it just made sense.
However, my friends didn't think so. A lot of them were quick to tell me they thought it wasn't a good idea or that I was being stupid. Obviously I knew it was not up to them but it was still hard to hear. If I could go back now and tell myself not to worry about what they were saying I would because getting married when we did was the best decisions we could have made. We would not have had half of the experiences we did if we waited. I know for a fact if we had waited until I graduated, like a lot of my friends and family thought we should, it would have only caused an unreasonable amount of stress on our relationship. No way was I preparing for graduation, preparing to move, and planning a wedding all at once.
As someone who never planned on getting married the reality that I was getting married was a shock even to me. I was so happy but I never thought that the months leading up to get married would cause as much stress as they did. The wait is scary. Anyone in a relationship with someone in the military, a police officer, firemen, or any profession where they risk their lives everyday will tell you the thought that your wedding day will never come eats at you. I remember laying in bed at night thinking; what if I don't get to marry him, what if I will always be just his fiancee? I hated the thought of that. I know it seems silly to say but it is true. Even after setting a date for the wedding it seemed too far away. There were so many factors that could come into play before then due to the nature of his job.
My husband is a corpsman so there is always the chance that he would be deployed. We all know the D word isn't exactly a crowd favorite, it's a big deal, it's a lot of stress, and let's be honest, it's scary. If he had deployed and we were not married if something happened to him I wouldn't have gotten a phone call, his mom would have. I knew she would tell me but no one would have called me. I was already scared that I wouldn't get to have my wedding so the thought of not knowing if something happened was a nightmare, I hated it. However, if we were married, I would get a phone call. I felt so much relief knowing that and I beat myself up over it. I thought I was being selfish because I was upset that his mom would get a call and I wouldn't. I would beat myself up even more when I thought about how happy I was that I would be the one to get the phone call. I just kept repeating "I am the person he wants to spend the rest of my life with but she is his mom" over and over in my head. Some nights it even kept me up because I felt so guilty.
All of the stress and anxiety that came with not being married made me feel like I was crazy and no one around me understood. Between being worried we would never have our wedding and being scared something would happen and I wouldn't know was plenty of reason for us to justify getting married when we did. It didn't matter if the people around us thought it was the right decision or if it was normal to move so fast. Normal. That's the word you have to remember when you are hearing all of the backlash from those around you when you say you are getting married.
When you tell your friends and family you are getting married to someone in the military they are comparing it to a civillin relationship; and a military relationship, is not a civilian relationship. In a military relationship nothing is "normal," at least not in the sense that we are used to. Normal for a military relationship is crazy, chaos, fast, and intense. That's what the people who are making you feel like an idiot for wanting to and agreeing to get married are not seeing.
I am not telling you that ignoring the negativity is easy but I am telling you that it is worth trying. I didn't ignore it and I caused myself more stress than I ever needed to. If you are like me and don't do such a hot job of tuning it out, it sucks, I know. There are days harder than others but what matters is if you are happy with your choice. Your life is with your significant other, not the people who are trying to make you feel bad about your decision. I wish I would have had someone who had been in my position there to tell me that.
So who cares if your last name used to be "Smith" and now it is "Williams." You are with the person you love and you get to share your life with them.

Are you looking to create heart-centered copy that converts? It can be difficult to find the words to say what you want to express, while also creating copy that converts your leads into customers or new clients.
I work with spiritual and heart-centered entrepreneurs every day and many of them are excellent writers. They have taken copy courses, they have read all the books, and many of them have even hired copywriters in the past.
However, throughout all of this, they find that something still doesn't click for their message. Either it doesn't feel "right", it's not getting conversions – or both!
I absolutely understand because not only do I help my clients with this, but I also have dealt with it in my own business. I have three quick tips to help you with this process:
- Tap Into Your Purpose
- Think Like Your Target Audience
- Soothe the Ego to Speak to the Heart
Next, let's look into what these mean.
Heart-Centered Copy that Converts –Tap Into Your Purpose
When trying to create your own heart-centered copy that converts, it's essential you tap into your true purpose.
Who are you trying to serve?
What do you offer that can change the world?
Take time to really tap into this space and get VERY excited about what you do. You want to feel all of that positive, motivational energy before you begin typing a single word.
This is why I also teach my clients about mindfulness, binaural beats, and tapping before they sit down to write any copy. This will help you to settle your own nerves and racing thoughts, get into a place of peace, and really tap into your deeper purpose.
As a heart-centered business, you are saving the world. You are creating change. You might be a life coach, a Reiki healer, or a musician. All of these have one thing in common – they touch people on a soul level and heal them with the work that they do.
How do you heal people with your work?
You should be totally honed in on this answer before you begin writing any copy.
Think Like your Target Audience
Next, we're going to talk about thinking like your target audience. This basic copy rule is even more important for spiritual and heart-centered businesses. You should have some sort of target audience or ideal client avatar as part of your branding. If not, you can learn how to do that now.
What does your audience want?
What are they looking for and how do you provide it?
Most of the time, people don't know what they want. They know what they think they want, but that isn't always the thing they need.
For example, you may say you want more money when what you really want are the things the money will bring you. For example, my clients aren't usually looking for better copy and content. They are looking for new customers, more conversions, closing sales, and greater visibility.
Soothe the Ego before Speaking to the Heart
It's all well and fine to talk about "heart-centered copy" but at the end of the day, none of us are all heart. We're also part-ego. And the ego can be a loud, needy child when it wants to.
If you work in a spiritual or heart-centered business, then you already know that it takes a considerable amount of effort and practice (as well as discipline and spiritual development) to stop thinking and acting with the ego. So heart-centered copy that converts is a novel idea, but less practical in actuality… unless, you learn to soothe the ego first.
Sometimes you need to feed that ego a little, get its attention, and calm it down, in order to truly start speaking to the heart. It's not realistic to expect that your target audience is already going to be in a full heart space when they just happen upon your content.
An Example of Soothing the Ego
How you do this is completely dependent on the type of work you do. But as an example, let's say you are a coach that helps singles find true love. Your target client may not want to admit that they need a coach to help them. It may be a big hit to their ego that they can't seem to figure out this "love thing" while everyone around them is coupling up.
Maybe your entire coaching principle hinges on the idea of "heal yourself to find your true love", but a hurt and proud ego doesn't want to be told they THEY are the problem.
And certainly, no one wants some stranger telling them that it's their fault they can't find true love. Right?
Just because you've been there and done that, and feel enlightened to all the answers, doesn't mean your target audience is going to be receptive to hearing it in that way initially.
This is why we soothe the ego and allow it to step aside, before we can speak to the heart.
Putting It to Work for You
Can you think of some ways this tip might change your existing copy? Or how it might change the way you create content in the future?
If you need help creating heart-centered copy that converts, or want assistance with these three steps and getting to the real heart of your business so your copy reflects this, consider a VIP Day session with me 1v1.

Has anyone noticed that if you add all 16 channels for Kontakt in an instance of VEP 6, the output from channel 14 gets routed to both 14 and 15. And the output from Channel 15 gets routed to only channel 16, and Channel 16 just does not work. I have checked just about everything on my side and can conclude that it is likely an issue with VEP.
I am using Studio One 4 and VEP 6 on Windows 10.
Hi Shaiket,
It is crucial to check "Make this your default configuration" after setting up the Kontakt outputs , then save your project and restart VE Pro - does that make a difference?
Best, Marnix
I noticed the same issue as well. I haven't found any solution yet tho...
Hi YM,
Did you try what Marnix suggested?
Best, Paul
I struggle with Kontakt and multiple stereo outputs inside Vienna Ensemble Pro
Hi, Paul
No I didn't tried out what Matrix said since I don't think that's the root cause of this issue.
Instead, I did a pure Kontakt test by loading up 16 instruments and activated all Kontakt outputs in Cubase. The routings are all fine, each channel goes to the designated output.
And as I put the same kontakt setting in VEP and add multiply (15) aux channels to match each kontakt outputs, the routings just got messed up. So I would guess that the communication between Kontakt and VEP might have some issues.
The software I used are as follows:
MacOS 10.12.6Cubase Pro 10Kontakt 5.8.1VEP 6.0.17011Best, YM
Try what marnix said. That solved my issue.
I hope yours could also be solved

Ballast Point's New Tasting Room and Kitchen Opens in West Loop and More Dining News
Plus: All-star chefs come to Wrigley Field and Logan Square gets its own Mott Street burger.
Ballast Point's new Tasting Room and Kitchen (which we featured back in April), is now open for business in Fulton Market (212 N. Green St.) serving lunch and dinner every day. That means you can get a Ballast Point Bavarian Pretzel (with Sculpin IPA beer cheese) and crispy oyster toast with trout roe pretty much whenever you want. Yum.
It's been a week of closures. Bread and Wine in Irving Park shuts its doors after six years, Gioco in the South Loop closed, and Bistrot Zinc, which has been around for 22 years in the Gold Coast, announced that it was shuttering at the end of August. If you want those awesome escargot one more time, make a reservation now.
There's some seriously awesome food inside Wrigley Field this season, as an all-star team of chefs including Tony Mantuano, Stephanie Izard, Christine Cikowski, Josh Kulp, Matthias Merges and Rick Bayless are serving up some great dishes. The full schedule is online and Izard kicks off the season from June 5–10. (Dining outside Wrigley? There's plenty of new stuff there, too.)
Mott Street has had the secret burger hit in town for a few years now (the experts at Thrillist ranked it the best burger in Chicago a while back), and it's so popular that it's getting its own restaurant. Mini Mott, in Logan Square (3057 W. Logan Blvd.), will open this summer and serve the burger, wings and fries.

Choosing a peg on the far bank with a fallen tree for cover and deciding not the fish amongst the leaf litter in the right corner I set up my pole fishing equipment and quickly realised that I was fishing the deep end! Setting up a 1.5g pole float at 11ft deep and still not coming near the bottom I decided to take a stab at fishing at around 9 feet. If the lake was anything like the top one there would be a layer of silt and muck on the bottom which may be good cover for eels, but not good for roach and rudd.
|Plenty of fish of this calibre at Clayton Ponds!

Blocking a molecule may bypass bowel cancer's defense against the drug cetuximab, according to new research presented by Weir et al at the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) Cancer Conference in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
Cetuximab is used to treat advanced bowel cancer, and just under half of bowel cancer patients are given the drug. It works to block the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). While it helps many patients, there are some for whom it doesn't work at all, and for others, it loses effectiveness.
Study Findings
To understand why this happens, scientists at Queen's University Belfast treated bowel cancer cells in the lab with cetuximab. They found that some cells survived the treatment by increasing the activity of a protein called ADAM17. But if they gave an ADAM 17 inhibitor known as IK682 to patients at the same time as cetuximab, the cancer cells died.
For other cancer cells, cetuximab treatment alone stopped them growing initially, but over time, they became resistant and started growing again. In these cases, the cancer cells were finding a way that didn't involve ADAM17, to outmaneuver the treatment.
Sandra Van Schaeybroeck, MD, lead researcher, said, "While some bowel cancer patients respond well to cetuximab treatment, many will relapse, or not benefit from the drug. Our work shows that combining this treatment with an ADAM17 inhibitor could be a promising avenue of therapy for patients who don't respond to cetuximab by itself. More work is needed before we can safely test this combination in patients, but the prospect of cutting off cancer's path to resistance is very exciting."

Rachel Maddow: Showed an RNC News Conference proving these turds have no interest working with Obama.
All across the corpora-media the refrain is being heard that the Reepos intend to meet Obama "half way" and do compromise, because well, their long term interests dictate this sane path. The media loves the word "bipartisanship" but we already know to the Repukes it's considered "date rape" (Google Grover Norquist and the term together and learn more).
One notable exception has been MSNBC analyst Rachel Maddow two nights ago, who actually televised clips you will never see on most other stations, including FOX. She noted:
"If the Republicans REALLY want to do something other than 'stop Obama' here's a chance to actually make policy - to fund a response to ISIS and Ebola- as Obama has proposed.. To decide on a response. Day one, did Republicans go to Washington to make any sort of policy? Or did they just go there to destroy the President. This is a test. This is the first test and it arrived early on day one."
She then referred to a Reepo Press Conference featuring all the usual top dogs of the RNC and there in the background, a glaring red sign: STOP OBAMA - FIRE REID. She also played a clip from Limburger's show in which he referred to a Republican "mandate" (which is more hog shit) and then showed the porker howling:
"It is very clear what that mandate is: It is to stop Barack Obama. It is to stop the Democrat Party. There is no other reason why Republicans were elected yesterday. Republicans were not elected to govern. How can you govern with a President that disobeys the Constitution? How can you govern with a President that is demonstrably lawless? The Republican Party was not elected to fix a broken system. The Republican Party was not elected to compromise."
If anyone with half a functioning brain had any doubts that this was how things would play out, they got their wake up call. And it makes total sense. Why the fuck should the GOOPrs change a damned thing when it's already worked so well for them? Why change one tune in their retread, sick obstruction song when it even led them to win likely 54 seats in the Senate when all the dust clears? There is absolutely no reason to change!
So this is how these assholes intend to work with Obama to get something done? STOP Obama, a mild variant of their original pig call from Obama's term one? Block him at ever turn- no stimulus votes (think of the Depression we'd be in now if that's happened and no Dem majority existed), no energy or infrastructure repair legislation, no food stamps, no nothing!
Look, any sensible person understands, as if Maddow even had to show the evidence, that these mutants intend no compromise and no working with the President on ANYTHING! It will be their way or the highway, including passing the odious Keystone XL Pipeline, lowering all regulations on the banks so they can spread credit default swaps again in bonds to create another financial meltdown, no working on immigration, and hold your breath- REPEALING Obamacare!
The news conference with Boehner was especially laughable when he referred to Obama "playing with matches" if he intends any executive actions to get things done. But the long and short of it, from a strategic perspective, is that this will be the only way for him to get things done because Boehner and his Reepo crazies (some of whom were quoted in the press as saying Hillary was "the antichrist" and "women need to obey their husbands") have no intent to work seriously with him anyway.
Also, as Chris Hayes noted in his own show ('UP'), Obama playing the executive action card is guaranteed to incite the unhinged GOP factions, i.e. the rabid Tea Party ("Constitutionalist") nuts and their ilk, and show Americans again why these fools aren't fit to have the Presidency in 2016. Why the fuck should they be rewarded with the presidency when they can't even cooperate to bring one single positive bit of legislation through? And we know this, in advance, never mind what much of the bought and sold whore media says.
One of the most insightful takes on it all was offered in a salon.com piece by Jim Newell yesterday from which I quote a segment:
"Let's do a thought experiment. Say Barack Obama dropped his
plan to take executive action on immigration in order to foster cooperation
with Republicans on passing comprehensive immigration reform. What would
happen? He'd be denounced by a significant portion of the Democratic base,
perhaps irreparably. And then the Republican leaders in the House and Senate
would proceed to do exactly nothing on immigration, because it's not in their
members' interests to cut a comprehensive immigration reform deal with Barack
Obama. And then Obama, because he is the president, would get the blame for
nothing "getting done" in Washington. What possible reason is there for him to
delay executive action on immigration? He can either improve the lives of
millions of people, excite the members of his party, and have Republicans hate
him or improve the lives of no one, depress the members of his party, and have
Republicans hate him."
Read it carefully, and if you're a Dem especially, or even independent, tell me with a straight face that you disagree with that assessment. If you do, I really want to know what brand of rope you're smoking. As the author also adds, for good effect:
"the current Republican Party's identity is
forged on being oppositional to Barack Obama. If it were to agree with him on
some significant piece of legislation, then that would make Barack Obama
something less-than-Satan, which would make the Republican Party … what?"
Read it and weep, my friends, but don't look for anything positive politically to emerge over the next two years. As I said before, Obama needs to have his veto pen at the ready....and now his executive action pen too. Don't give one bloody inch to these rabid refuseniks!

In each episode of iZombie, part of the fun is seeing what new brain Liv (Rose McIver) consumes, and what traits she takes on as a result. This week, Liv finds herself on "hot mess brain" and the results aren't pretty. A clubbing, self-obsessed, disorganized, scatter-brained wannabe DJ, the victim here is not exactly an upgrade for Liv.
Check out IGN's exclusive clip from "Some Like it Hot Mess," as Ravi (Rahul Kohl) learns just how much Liv's new persona is interfering with her job - and the corpses it involves.
Previewing this episode with IGN, iZombie co-creator/executive producer Rob Thomas said, "Rose, as she often does -- but this one I particularly enjoyed -- has so many winning, unscripted moments. Just looks that she gives that are so great. We kinda knew she would be good on this one."
Thomas noted, "In every episode, we have all these ideas for brains we want to get to. We rarely start an episode with the brain. Usually we figure out the other stories we're telling in the episode and we try to pick the right brain that will either thematically compliment it or make Liv's job sometimes harder, putting another obstacle in front of her. In this one, we wanted to get to a place where Liv was really miserable being a zombie, that the brain she was on -- in this case Hot Mess -- really complicated her life. It was important, for this one, that it was one that was just a total pain in the ass. So that's how we ended up with hot mess brain.
Last week's episode ended with Major (Robert Buckley) taking the cure that would turn him from a zombie back into a human - but with severe side effects, as he'd lose all his memories. Discussing how this week's episode begins for Major, Thomas revealed, "We find that he has in fact turned human and he gets to revel in a few things he missed as a zombie, most notably ice cream. Major starts waiting for the memory loss to come. He starts writing letters to all the people he will miss, that he might not get a chance to say goodbye to. Liv convinces him to write a letter to these two women who we have never heard about on this show. It's clear that Major is reluctant to do that but she convinces him it'll be good. That's how we launch Major's storyline in 306. In it, we get to learn a bit more about Major's past. We had fun getting to do that."
iZombie: "Some Like it Hot Mess" airs Tuesday, May 9th at 9:00pm ET/PT on the CW.
