Salmon Chowder - San Juan Islands Sunset - Pink Saturday
Sunset on the San Juan Islands as seen from the shore of Puget Sound in Bellingham, Washington.
Ahoy, me hearties! Beware. This simple soup is a gift from Scandinavian immigrants who settled in the Pacific Northwest. This chowder, or a version of it, came with them. Fortunately, their recipes were passed on to us. This recipe utilizes a handful of ingredients to make an amazingly flavorful soup. It begins with a fish stock. I make mine from shrimp shells, the recipe for which can be found following the chowder recipe. It's simple to do, but if that seems too much work, dilute 1-1/2 cups bottled clam juice with 2 cups of water and proceed with the recipe. Once all the vegetables have been chopped, the soup will be table ready in 30 minutes. This is typical of the soups that are made on the San Juan islands. Easy, fast and flavorful. If you have an aversion to cream, replace it with half and half or whole milk. It will lack the richness of the real thing, but the chowder will still be delicious. I really hope you'll try this one. It's delicious and hearty enough to serve as a main course.
Salmon Chowder...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
4 tablespoons butter
1-1/2 cups chopped onions
5 large boiling potatoes
4 cups fish stock
1 pound salmon, skinned and cut in 1/2-inch dice
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley (optional)
1) Melt butter in a 5 to 6-quart stock pot. Add onions and saute until soft. Stir in flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add potatoes and fish stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
2) Add the salmon and cook for 2 minutes longer. Add cream, wine, and salt and pepper
to taste. Simmer until just heated through. If using, stir in dill or parsley. Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
To make fish stock from shrimp shells: Place fresh or frozen shells from 2 to 3 pounds shrimp in a large pot. Add 10 cups water and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to surface. Strain through a fine sieve and set aside. Stock may be frozen.

What a colour that sunset is - perfectly glorious. And the salmon matches! You have a perfect eye for colour as well as a perfect palate.

What a lovely chowder! I would never have thought to use salmon.
I have just recently started making my own shrimp stock - by just tossing the shells in the small slow cooker when I peel the shrimp. I love getting a second purpose out of an ingredient! - September 26, 2009 at 5:28 PM

Thank you for the recipe. On a side note, I went to get pumpkin for the cupcake recipe and two stores told me there is a shortage! I did finally find it and bought four cans. The happy ending will be my cupcake baking tomorrow morning.

Mary, this looks and sounds delicious, and I will definitely prepare it. My husband loves seafood chowders.
I make my stock with shrimp shells, too. It makes the best stock for my shrimp and grits.
Now, I am going to be sitting here thinking of food the rest of the afternoon. ;-) Please push one of those pumpkin cupcakes through the monitor.

Now streaming on:
The woman sits in a park, legs crossed, smoking, relaxed. Two men watch her from a window above the park, and they discuss her, looking down on her. "If she were six, you would say she was sulky," one of the men says. "Since her incarceration, her group of friends has been destroyed." She is meeting the two men, and one says, "She won't come in a moment before it's time." It is an eloquent exchange, and even more eloquently filmed, the woman seen in long shot, from above. She knows she is being watched. Her "relaxation," then, is an act of public theatre.
This is the opening scene in Christian Petzold's effective psychological and political thriller "Barbara," and it sets up the tension and atmosphere with precision and a taut elegance. It is East Germany, 1980. Barbara, the woman, played by Petzold's regular muse, Nina Hoss, is a chilly alert blonde. Barbara is a doctor and has been placed in a rural medical clinic as punishment for applying for an exit visa. Given an apartment by the State, Barbara is under constant surveillance by the Stasi. Andre, the doctor who runs the clinic (played by the gentle, hunky Ronald Zehrfeld), is an informer for the Stasi, and yet he does not seem devoted or fanatical in that role. His primary priority is his patients. He would also like to get to The Hague someday, to see Rembrandt's "Anatomy Lesson" in person, although his hope for being allowed such a trip is dim.
Andre recognizes Barbara's gift at her job during her first shift, when she correctly diagnoses a teenage girl (Jasna Fritzi Bauer) with meningitis, the signs of which the rest of the doctors had missed. Barbara, the cool character self-consciously smoking in the park, is an entirely different person at her job. The girl has escaped from Torgau, a Socialist work camp nearby, and Barbara treats her with a mischievous warm camaraderie, and reads to her at night. Barbara's choice of book is significant: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
In Mark Twain's classic, Huck and Jim, on the run, take to the Mississippi River in a raft, loosening the fetters that bind them on the mainland, all while plunging deeper and deeper into slave country. Barbara, who has secret rendezvous in a nearby forest with a lover from West Germany, smokes expensive black market cigarettes, and has mysterious meetings with people who surreptitiously hand her packets of money, is a flight risk: you can sense that in her tense posture, and in her wild-looking eyes flicking out the window at the sound of every car horn.
Nina Hoss is a magnificent actress, watchful, tense, and spikily intelligent. When a smile cracks open on her face, the warmth and beauty is heartbreaking, because of the contrast. Hoss' work in all of Petzold's films is good, and while he has used her continuously, she never shows up as quite the same character. The woman in "Yella" is not the same as the one in "Jerichow" or in "Barbara." Nina Hoss can do anything.
In East Germany, in 1980, no one is to be trusted, and Petzold creates that sense of oppression with meticulous sound design (never has a doorbell sounded so frightening), and yawning gaps in between conversations, gaps filled with sound: wind, echoing footsteps in a hallway, trees rustling, the crunch of gravel under bicycle wheels. There is no score. The only music comes from the radio, once, and when Barbara plays her newly-tuned piano alone in her apartment. Barbara's landlady stares at her with cold expressionless eyes, a piano tuner shows up unexpectedly, freaking Barbara out (he must be there to inform on her), and every interpersonal interaction is charged with suspicion. Even the romantic and sexual tension in between Barbara and Andre seems loaded and dangerous.
"Barbara" is extremely suspenseful, without using the common genre trappings. The workings of the clinic are observed in a detailed fashion. Andre has set up a lab where he makes his own serum, a fact that impresses Barbara, accustomed as she is to better big-city hospitals. Petzold's films with Hoss are often about different sub-cultures of work, as well as about the long shadow left by Germany's split: in "Yella," Petzold examines the risky thrill-seeking world of corporate negotiations; in "Jerichow" it's the ins and outs of snack bar ownership, and in "Barbara," the challenges of running an out-of-the-way clinic, short on supplies and staff. There are decisions to be made about the patients (the teenage girl with meningitis, and another teenager, a failed suicide), and these decisions require cooperation and openness, anathema in a police state.
Andre, after examining the boy who attempted suicide, confides to Barbara, "I don't know. Something is wrong. I can feel it." One could say that about the entirety of the world portrayed in "Barbara," a world filled with everyday objects: bathtubs, pianos, bicycles, cigarettes, all of which take on portentous significance when seen in the context of totalitarian culture. Something is wrong in East Germany, and everyone can feel it. Doctors examine a patient and make a guess at a diagnosis.
The reality of Barbara's world, and the world of all East Germans, is one of constant surveillance, omnipresent informers, and a huge gap between private and public behavior. Petzold is a master at creating the kind of tension that can be felt on a subterranean level, a sort of acute uneasiness that can't be easily diagnosed, fixed, or even acknowledged by the characters. This is well-trod ground for Petzold, but never has it been so fully realized, so palpable, as in "Barbara."

While he is sorry that Trayvon Martin ended up dead, George Zimmerman says he doesn't regret anything he did the evening of Feb. 26 and that it was "God's plan" that he would end up killing the unarmed 17-year-old.
"For me to second guess it or judge it" would be wrong, Zimmerman told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity in a pre-recorded and edited interview broadcast Wednesday night.
According to The Associated Press, the teenager's father, Tracy Martin, said in a telephone interview later that "we must worship a different God. There is no way that my God wanted George Zimmerman to murder my teenage son."
On Hannity, Zimmerman recounted again his version of what happened in his Sanford, Fla., neighborhood and why he believes he acted in self defense. Zimmerman has pleaded innocent to a charge of second-degree murder.
As we've written before:
"Zimmerman is the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon on Feb. 26. ... Trayvon's family and supporters say the African-American teenager was racially profiled and that Zimmerman had no business following the young man. The case ignited another national discussion of race relations."
Zimmerman is now out on bail. Fox News says the interview was done in an undisclosed location in Florida.

Two jaguar cubs are providing more than just cooing fans for Milwaukee's zoo. The spotted brothers are introducing new genes to the endangered species' captive population because unlike most zoo babies, their father was born in the wild.
The blue-eyed cubs, born Nov. 13, don't officially have names just yet, but keepers at the Milwaukee County Zoo are calling them "Gaps" and "Dots," due to the markings on their heads.
Stacey Johnson, coordinator of the jaguar species survival plan for the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, said it is rare for zoos' reproductive programs to have access to animals born in the wild.
"They are bringing in a new inflow of genes that will help sustain the population over next 100 years," Johnson said.
He also noted that the cubs — the first born at the zoo since 1975 — are also beneficial because female jaguars currently outnumber males in zoos in North America.
The cubs, currently about the size of house cats, are still too small to navigate their multi-level exhibit, so they aren't yet on display. But fans can catch glimpses of the curious cubs and their mother on the zoo's live webcam.
Zoo officials plan to put the cubs on display by early February.
Their father, Pat, was captured in Central America after being deemed a problem jaguar for attacking cattle, so he was a bit of a celebrity at the Belize Zoo before coming to Milwaukee in 2008. The estimated 15-year-old animal also has a book named after him, "Pat the Great Cat: A Jaguars Journey," which was written by children in Milwaukee and Belize as part of a literacy program.
The cubs were the first for their mother, Stella.
The cubs will remain at the zoo for about a year before being moved to other zoos whose jaguars need genetic diversity, zoo spokeswoman Jennifer Diliberti said. Jaguars are found in the wild in the southern U.S., Mexico, Central America and South America.
The webcam has received about 16,000 hits since it went live Dec. 18. The average time spent on the webcam is about 25 minutes — compared to 2 minutes on their home page, Diliberti said.
"People are really following their story, which is wonderful," she said.

The Effect:
The mentalist places an envelope on the table. A spectator chooses any card from the pack. Then she chooses any one of six different colored "invisible" markers. Finally, she merely THINKS of any of four common shapes. She is instructed to JUST IMAGINE herself drawing the shape she has in mind on the face of the card she is thinking of with the invisible magic marker. (You may want to read that last sentence again.) Then, when the tabled envelope is opened, inside is found the matching card and on its face, drawn in the same freely chosen color, is the shape she had in mind! This one is completely crazy!

There is little doubt that above ground pool decks have rapidly increased in popularity over the past several years. While in ground decks are still a valued option, decks designed above ground present a wide array of attractive designs available for the modern homeowner to choose from. The ability to comfortably create a lounge space by the side of a swimming pool is a source of pleasure that is one of the luxuries of modern life you are bound to enjoy. Learning a bit more about the various models of above ground pool decks, their price ranges, construction services, and other factors will help you to make a well-informed decision.

A Nuclear End to Denial
With their dramatic decision, Senate Democrats have frankly acknowledged that the power struggle over the judiciary has reached a crisis point and that the nature of conservative opposition to President Obama is genuinely without precedent.Those who lament the Senate Democrats' vote to end filibusters for presidential nominations say the move will escalate partisan warfare and destroy what comity is left in Congress. Some also charge hypocrisy, since Democrats once opposed the very step they took last week.
In fact, seeing the world as it is rather than pining for a world that no longer exists is a precondition for reducing polarization down the road. With their dramatic decision, Senate Democrats have frankly acknowledged that the power struggle over the judiciary has reached a crisis point and that the nature of conservative opposition to President Obama is genuinely without precedent.
What happened on Nuclear Thursday has more to do with the rise of an activist conservative judiciary than with the norms of the Senate. From the moment that five conservative justices issued their ruling in Bush v. Gore, liberals and Democrats realized they were up against forces willing to achieve their purposes by using power at every level of government. When the Bush v. Gore majority insisted that the principles invoked to decide the 2000 election in George W. Bush's favor could not be used in any other case, they effectively admitted their opportunism. Dec. 12, 2000, led inexorably to Nov. 21, 2013.
Bush v. Gore set in motion what liberals see as a pernicious feedback loop. By giving the presidency to a conservative, the five right-of-center justices guaranteed that for at least four years (and what turned out to be eight), the judiciary would be tilted even further in a conservative direction.
Bush was highly disciplined in naming as many conservative judges as he could. His appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito bolstered the Supreme Court's conservative majority. The court later rendered such decisions as Citizens United, which tore down barriers to big money in politics, and Shelby County v. Holder, which gutted a key part of the Voting Rights Act. Both, in turn, had the effect of strengthening the electoral hand of conservatives and Republicans.
With the conservatives' offensive as the backdrop, Senate Democrats and liberals on the outside revolted in 2005 against the Republican threat to use the nuclear option when the GOP controlled the Senate. Progressives felt they had no choice but to throw sand into the gears of a juggernaut.
Liberals said things eight years ago that are being used by conservatives to accuse them of hypocrisy now. I didn't have to look far for an example of what they're talking about.
In a column in March of 2005, I called the GOP's effort to speed the confirmation of conservative judges "a blatant effort to twist the rules" that ignored "the traditions of the Senate." I might take back the "traditions of the Senate" line, a rhetorical attempt to call conservatism's bluff. But what animated my argument then is the same concern I have now: This era's conservatives will use any means at their disposal to win control of the courts. Their goal is to do all they can to limit Congress' ability to enact social reforms. At the same time, they are pushing for measures — notably restrictions on the right to vote — that alter the electoral terrain in their favor.
And it is simply undeniable that in the Obama years, conservatives have abused the filibuster in ways that liberals never dreamed of. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cited the Congressional Research Service's finding that in our history, there have been 168 cloture motions filed on presidential nominations. Nearly half of them — 82 — happened under Obama. According to CRS, of the 67 cloture motions on judicial nominees since 1967, 31 occurred under Obama.
Republicans gave the game away when all but a few of them opposed Obama's three most recent appointments to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals not on the merits but by accusing the president of trying to "pack the court." In fact, Obama was simply making appointments he was constitutionally and legislatively authorized to make. His nominees were being filibustered because they might alter the circuit court's philosophical balance. The GOP thus demonstrated beyond any doubt that it cares far more about maintaining conservative influence on the nation's second most important judicial body than in observing the rules and customs of the Senate.
This is why the Senate Democrats' action will, in the end, be constructive. The first step toward resolving a power struggle is to recognize it for what it is. The era of denial is finally over.

Quick Guide
Hardy annual, it can be sown where it is to flower
Believed to have been introduced in 1906
Easy and rewarding even in poor or dry soils
You can so Californian Poppy directly outdoors where you want them to flower. Create drills 0.5cm (1/4") deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Spread the seedlings 15cm (6") apart. Water them well until the plants are established. For a continuous display, make sowings in two to three weekly intervals. For more of a natural appearance, sow the seeds in curves rather than straight lines. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings.
Plant Care Tips
Save a few seeds to sow late in June. In most years, you will have blooms until the first frost.
Deadhead: Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering.

Okey doke, it's been about a week now and things are getting back on track. I'll never have to get my wisdom teeth taken out again. Yay! I made these enchiladas a few weeks ago when I was craving something bold and spicy. But be warned, they were a bit on the spicy side. I skipped the traditional step of pan frying the tortillas then dipping them in enchilada sauce. Instead, I simply wrapped the stack of tortillas in foil and warmed them in the oven until they were pliable. You can fill them with shredded chicken instead of ground beef (a good way to use up leftover roast chicken), or use Mexican rice instead of meat for a vegetarian version, add extra cheese, or skip the cheese entirely, it's really up to you.
This is a tomato-less chili based enchilada sauce. A lot of recipes just call for 1 chipotle chili but then I just end up with a whole can minus 1 leftover so I used three. You can even use four or five if you can take the heat. Just make sure to remove the seeds, cut the chilies open lengthwise and remove the seeds, otherwise it will be way too spicy. To store leftover chipotles, freeze them individually on a sheet tray then after they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. Store the adobo sauce from the can in a zipper lock bag as well. Keep the bag flat in the freezer so the sauce freezes in an even layer. This way when you need some adobo sauce, you can just break a piece off the frozen slab (much easier than trying to scoop it out of a container when its frozen solid).
Beef Enchiladas
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
Roughly 8 6-inch corn tortillas
1 1/2 C shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese or a combination of the two
Enchilada Sauce
2 Tbsp lard or bacon fat or substitute oil or butter
3 Tbsp flour
1 rounded Tbsp chili powder
3 chipotle chilies packed in adobo, seeds removed and minced
2 Tbsp adobo sauce from the can of chipotle chilies
2 C chicken stock + 1 C water
Salt and pepper
Optional Garnishes:
Chopped cilantro
Sour cream
In a medium saucepan, heat two tablespoons of lard (or cooking fat of your choice) over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of flour and whisk until the mixture, the roux, looks blonde. Add the chili powder and minced chipotle chilies, whisk and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock and water mixture and the adobo sauce from the can. Simmer the mixture until it is thick and bubbly (if it looks too thick, add some more water). Season with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up into bite size pieces. Cook the ground beef until it is browned and cooked through. Drain the beef and set aside.
Reserve about 2 teaspoons of fat in the skillet from cooking the beef. Heat over medium heat and add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat. Add the drained ground beef back into the onion mixture and add about a half cup of enchiliada sauce and season with some salt and pepper if needed. Set the meat mixture aside.
Wrap the stack of tortillas in foil. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and put the tortillas in the oven while it preheats. When the tortillas are warm and pliable, remove them from the oven.
Spread about a 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Add a 1/4 C of the meat mixture and about two tablespoons of the shredded cheese to a tortilla and roll it up. Place the roll seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and fill the baking dish. Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle cheese evenly on top. Bake in a 450 degree F oven for 15 - 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Serve with optional garnishes or with a side of Mexican rice.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Hi!This thread is more of a poll of if this is possible for me to achieve or if you as Gurus(yes you are) see any obstacles that I should be aware of before attempting or eve spending time on this.Maybe the majority of users feels that this is a really good killer feature that could be developed by someone more skilled(obviously I am not) Having worked in Telecoms for a decent number of years I like the idea of redundancy.Is there currently or are there any plans on doing so for the Core?I know that the mtbf for computer hw is fairly high but still I cannot stop thinking about this.Off course there cannot be total redundancy of like alarm sensors, phonelines etc etc. but...Let me explain a bit more what is important for me. Without rewriting kernels and patching(cause that's way out of my leage). But by using the excisting components even more(even that is a challenge).Lmce is controlling the whole house(or actually we are with the help of..) how cool isn't that?Although. Assuming you have a proper UPS and that sort of easy redundant things sorted. What happens when there is a breakage inside the Core, like CPU, Hdd etc?The alarm system, how does it react to a hw failure in the Core?Or what happens when the system locks/freezes totally, yeah I know this is not a windows machine but it may happen.Typically the burgler will try to disarm your system and nothing is impossible. I am not saying that the LMCE should be used to guard Pentagon or the white-house but for most humans their belongings are equally important, are you with me what I try to depict?I would like to know if it is possible to somehow easily configure the Core to have a close friend(stdby). So all config files will be stored externally(for example) maybe and the other core is brought up to life(from suspend maybe) when the Master Core stops responding to whatever is used as status check(echo reply for example)and starts to load the config from the external hdd's and when it's up it will poll each device for their status and send an message to the orbiters(like the UE = mobile phone)it will also make sure the Master Core is really dead. Maybe even a script in the Master Core will reset itself when a certain trigger is met and a message is broadcasted to the orbiters.Another unanswered question(in my head) is how the routing could be sorted, however..I am not loooking for a hsrp/vrrp setup(even though it would be really nice) but something simpler.To my understanding this should be possible to achieve in the current LMCE. Am I just being dumb or is it possible?sorry for all the txt but I want to make sure my idea is understood and not taken as an "I want this, please deliver me this.." kind of thread because I would like to contribute with what I can if possible off course(my time and skills are kinda show-stoppers though)..BrJohan
Well, high availability with Open Source should be quite common. There are several Projects and papers about this issue.I wrote my diploma thesis about that *siiggh*, where i compared three Solutions for a HA-framework.Redundancy in mind, it should be determined first, what's important to keep alive. The core? The DB? The Filesystem?both? How about the TV Cards (keep in mind THE week w/o TV!)?. The easiest way to increase HA is to go for RAID 1, hoping Murphy won't grill both HDs, so you just can keep a second "standby" Core and switch HD, rebuild RAID1.Things like heartbeat etc could do the trick as well.The "winner" of the conclusion was http://www.openais.org, an opensource implementation of the Service Availability Forum, as the idea was to keep several independant Software Moduls online.The company i worked for never implemented anything based on my thesis .... i wonder why ;O)Havin' this in mind... HA is pure pain! Some literature: http://weblog.infoworld.com/geeks/archives/2007/02/achieve_more_re.htmlhttp://www.linux-ha.org/and a presentation: http://www.linux-ha.org/_cache/HeartbeatTutorials__LWCE08-ha-tutorial.pdf

Read on for Japan's best of the best...
Japanese MMA will be well represented at UFC Japan 2013, taking place March 3 in Tokyo.
So with such a rich history in the sport, who are the best Japanese fighters to ever grace the Octagon? Here's the best of a nation…
TOP TEN (in alphabetical order)
Yoshihiro Akiyama - Osaka
UFC Debut – UFC 100 – W3 Alan Belcher
Key UFC Win – UFC 100 – W3 Alan Belcher
A skilled judo black belt who has no qualms about standing and trading with anyone, Yoshihiro Akiyama made his UFC debut to much fanfare in 2009, and he didn't disappoint as he decisioned Alan Belcher over three exciting rounds. The bout earned Akiyama Fight of the Night honors, and he went on to win the award in his next two bouts as well, tough losses against Chris Leben and Michael Bisping. After a KO loss to Vitor Belfort, Akiyama dropped down to 170 pounds, only to lose a hard-fought decision to Jake Shields at UFC 144.
Takanori Gomi - Kanagawa
UFC Debut – UFN 21 – Lsub3 Kenny Florian
Key UFC Win – UFC Live 2 – KO1 Tyson Griffin
The only man to hold the PRIDE lightweight title, Takanori Gomi ruled the Japanese organization with an iron fist, going 13-1 with 1 NC from 2004 to 2007. In 2010, he arrived in the Octagon, and he struggled in losses to Kenny Florian, Clay Guida, and Nate Diaz, he showed off that "Fireball Kid" style with impressive knockouts of Tyson Griffin and Eiji Mitsuoka, and November 10th's showdown with Mac Danzig is a pivotal one for the Japanese icon.
Hatsu Hioki - Nagoya
UFC Debut – UFC 137 – W3 George Roop
Key UFC Win – UFC 144 – W3 Bart Palaszewski
Former Shooto and Sengoku champion Hatsu Hioki dominated the Japanese scene 2007-2011, going 12-1-1 while establishing himself as one of the top featherweights in the sport. But in late-2011, he decided it was time for him to hunt down some bigger game, and in October of that year, he made his UFC debut with a win against ultra-tough George Roop. It wasn't the most impressive performance, but Hioki made up for it with his victory over Bart Palaszewski. An upset loss to Ricardo Lamas in June was a setback, but expect to see him bounce back sooner rather than later.
Yuki Kondo – Niigata
UFC Debut – UFC 27 – TKO3 Alexandre Dantas
Key UFC Win – UFC 27 – TKO3 Alexandre Dantas
A 1-2 UFC record really doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to the 16 year career of Yuki Kondo. In fact, his UFC 27 win over Alexandre Dantas and Octagon losses to Tito Ortiz and Vladimir Matyushenko barely touch the surface when it comes to one of the most underrated fighters of his time. A King of Pancrase who defeated Frank Shamrock, Semmy Schilt, and Guy Mezger, among others, Kondo also starred in PRIDE, where his dance card included Wanderlei Silva, Dan Henderson, and Igor Vovchanchyn. Still active at 37 years old, Kondo's impact will always be felt at home, even if he wasn't able to break out on the UFC scene.
Tsuyoshi Kosaka - Kusatsu
UFC Debut – UFC 16 – WUD Kimo Leopoldo
Key UFC Win – UFC 21 – TKO2 Tim Lajcik
A staple of the UFC's heavyweight division in the late 90's, Tsuyoshi "TK" Kosaka - like his countryman Yuki Kondo – suffered from being in the Octagon during the organization's "Dark Ages," almost guaranteeing that he wouldn't get the respect he deserved from later generations of fight fans. But for those who never saw him, rest assured that he was the real deal, a courageous fighter with legitimate skills who never backed down. The first man to beat Fedor Emelianenko (albeit controversially via cut), Kosaka was a long time training partner of Maurice Smith and Frank Shamrock, and his UFC resume included wins over Kimo Leopoldo, Pete Williams, and Tim Lacjik. In his final Octagon bout in 2002, he was stopped by Ricco Rodriguez, one of seven PRIDE or UFC champions he faced in his career.
Yushin Okami - Kanagawa
UFC Debut – UFC 62 – W3 Alan Belcher
Key UFC Win – UFC 122 – W3 Nate Marquardt
The most successful Japanese fighter in UFC history, Yushin Okami is a powerhouse in the Octagon who is a tough out for anyone at 185 pounds. Winner of 11 of 15 UFC bouts, including victories over Nate Marquardt, Mark Munoz, Mike Swick, and Evan Tanner, Okami is the last man to defeat Anderson Silva (via disqualification in a non-UFC bout), and in December he will meet Alan Belcher for a second time after defeating "The Talent" in their first bout in 2006.
Kazushi Sakuraba - Akita
UFC Debut – UFC Japan – NC1 Marcus Silveira
Key UFC Win – UFC Japan – Wsub1 Marcus Silveira
Kazushi Sakuraba's UFC career lasted all of one night, but he was unbeaten with one win and one no contest that night, earning him the Ultimate Japan heavyweight tournament title. It was the rest of Sakuraba's career that earns him a mention here though, as he became a PRIDE superstar dubbed "The Gracie Hunter" for his wins over four of MMA's first family, and a true legend of the game.
Hayato Sakurai - Ibaraki
UFC Debut – UFC 36 – TKO by 4 Matt Hughes
Key UFC Win – None
Like Sakuraba, one night in the UFC wasn't enough to show just how good Hayato "Mach" Sakurai was. But consider this: the one fight he was brought overseas for, against a prime Matt Hughes, was one many thought he was going to win. He didn't, but his lone UFC appearance was a mere blip on a career that saw him compete in PRIDE, DEEP, Shooto, and Dream against the likes of Anderson Silva, Nick Diaz, Shinya Aoki, Takanori Gomi, Jens Pulver, Dave Menne, Jake Shields, Frank Trigg, and Caol Uno.
Caol Uno - Kanagawa
UFC Debut – UFC 30 – L5 Jens Pulver
Key UFC Win – UFC 32 – KO1 Fabiano Iha
A two-time title challenger in the UFC, Caol Uno gave Jens Pulver and BJ Penn fits in those championship fights but was unable to secure the victory and become the first UFC champion from Japan. As for the rest of his two UFC stints, he was able to defeat solid contenders like Yves Edwards and Din Thomas, but the big win always eluded him.
Kid Yamamoto - Kanagawa
UFC Debut – UFC 126 – L3 Demetrious Johnson
Key UFC Win – None
A longtime star on the Japanese circuit, Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto was a pioneering force for the lighter weight classes, and long rumored to be coming to the United States to face the likes of Urijah Faber and Miguel Angel Torres in Super Fights. In 2011, the dream became a reality as he signed with the UFC, but Yamamoto has come up empty in three Octagon bouts against Demetrious Johnson, Darren Uyenoyama, and Vaughan Lee.
Yoji Anjo - Tokyo
Though Yoji Anjo will be remembered as a fighter who never experienced the thrill of victory in the UFC, the Suginami native was a pretty big deal in the world of pro wrestling, where he played the "bad guy" role. That notoriety led him to MMA, and after debuting at home against Sean Alvarez in a bout that lasted over 34 minutes in 1996, he was a natural for a bout against Tank Abbott in the UFC's first visit to Japan in 1997. He lasted the distance against Abbott in a losing effort, but was finished by Murilo Bustamante and Matt Lindland in subsequent Octagon bouts. In 2004, he lost his final match to Ryan Gracie in PRIDE.
Ryo Chonan – Yamagata City
You wouldn't know it by walking around Tokyo, but many of the buildings in the Japanese city bear the fingerprints of former construction worker Ryo Chonan. Similarly, you wouldn't know how good a fighter Chonan is by looking at his UFC record, but fans who followed him during his time in the PRIDE and DEEP organizations know that he has earned his place in MMA lore. The last man to finish Anderson Silva, Chonan did it in their 2004 PRIDE bout with one of the greatest submissions ever – a flying scissor heel hook. Chonan also defeated Carlos Newton and Hayato Sakurai, but never seemed to catch a rhythm in his four fight UFC stint.
Riki Fukuda - Gifu
Longtime Japanese contender Riki Fukuda finally made it to the UFC in 2011, and he was matched up with The Ultimate Fighter's Nick Ring at UFC 127 in Australia. And though he lost a decision to Ring, the decision was so controversial that UFC President Dana White awarded Fukuda his win bonus anyway, soothing the pain of the defeat a bit. Since then, he's gone 1-1 in the Octagon, defeating Steve Cantwell and losing a decision to Costa Philippou. On November 10 he faces New Jersey's Tom DeBlass.
Akihiro Gono - Saitama
Charismatic Akihiro Gono made his debut in mixed martial arts in 1994, compiling over 30 wins. Along the way, he faced a Who's Who of the sport from welterweight to light heavyweight (such as former UFC champions Matt Hughes and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, UFC and PRIDE vet Yuki Kondo, and two division PRIDE champion Dan Henderson), while making a name for himself in the PRIDE, Pancrase, and Shooto organizations for his aggressive style and well-rounded attack, not to mention his memorable ring entrances. In the UFC, Gono's resume included a win over Tamdan McCrory in his UFC debut in November of 2007 and hard-fought decision losses against Dan Hardy and Jon Fitch.
Sanae Kikuta – Tokyo
Longtime Pancrase star Sanae Kikuta was another one of those 'What If' stories, as he only competed once in the Octagon, submitting Eugene Jackson at UFC 25 in 2000. A top level talent, Kikuta made his name by fighting all comers, including Renzo Gracie, Murilo Bustamante, Ikuhisa Minowa, Yuki Kondo, Elvis Sinosic, Minotauro Nogueira, and Hidehiko Yoshida.
Naoyuki Kotani – Kanagawa
Currently riding a seven fight win streak in Japanese organizations, 30-year-old Naoyuki Kotani seems to finally be hitting his stride after an up and down career that included losses to Thiago Tavares and Dennis Siver in a two fight UFC stint in 2007.
Ikuhisa Minowa – Nagoya
One of MMA's most popular fighters, the 54-34 record of 36-year-old Ikuhisa Minowa should say it all. A one and done UFC fighter who defeated Joe Slick at UFC 25 in 2000, "Minowaman" made his legend in PRIDE, where his dance card included bouts with Wanderlei Silva, Rampage Jackson, Phil Baroni, Ryan Gracie, Gilbert Yvel, Kazushi Sakuraba, Murilo Bustamante, and Mirko Cro Cop.
Dokonjonosuke Mishima – Osaka
Charismatic and talented, Dokonjonosuke Mishima didn't get any favors in his two UFC bouts, losses to Joe Stevenson and Kenny Florian, but with years of fighting top competition in Japan like Yves Edwards, Marcus Aurelio, and Takanori Gomi, it was no shocker that he was tossed in the deep end of the water immediately.
Takeya Mizugaki - Kanagawa
Takeya Mizugaki, one of Japan's finest exports, started a new chapter in his mixed martial arts career in the UFC's new bantamweight division in 2011, when he defeated Reuben Duran and Cole Escovedo, but he may be best remembered by fight fans for his classic WEC title bout against Miguel Angel Torres in 2009, a five round battle for the ages that served as quite an introduction for the exciting 135-pounder. 2-2 in the UFC, Mizugaki can gain win number three in China if he defeats Jeff Hougland.
Kazuhiro Nakamura – Hiroshima
Judo black belt Kazuhiro Nakamura debuted at PRIDE 25 in 2003 against Rogerio Nogueira, giving you a prime example of the type of competition he was willing to face, and he was a staple in the Japanese organization for years, fighting the likes of Dan Henderson, Murilo Bustamante, Kevin Randleman, Wanderlei Silva, Igor Vovchanchyn, Josh Barnett, and Shogun Rua. 0-2 in the Octagon, with losses to Lyoto Machida and Sokoudjou, Nakamura returned to Japan, where he remains an active competitor.
Keita Nakamura – Tokyo
Winless in three UFC bouts against Brock Larson, Drew Fickett, and Rob Emerson (all by decision), Keita Nakamura was tough, but he could never adjust to the Octagon. Still competing successfully in Asia, he has won seven of his last eight bouts.
Koji Oishi – Tokyo
Probably best remembered for his bizarre standup attack in a loss against Nick Diaz at UFC 53, Koji Oishi (0-2 in the UFC) was nonetheless a solid competitor in the Pancrase organization who owned wins over Nick's brother Nate, Chris Lytle, and Naoyuki Kotani, while also fighting Carlos Condit.
Michihiro Omigawa - Ibaraki
A decorated judoka on the international level and a protégé of Olympic Gold medalist Hidehiko Yoshida, Ibaraki native Michihiro Omigawa turned to mixed martial arts in 2005, and after a shaky start, the PRIDE veteran rebounded to win three in a row and earn his first call to the UFC's Octagon in 2007. After an 0-2 run, Omigawa went 8-2-1 back in Japan, earning a second call back. And though he was in several tough three rounders, he only went 1-4 in his subsequent UFC stint.
Genki Sudo - Hokkaido
A free spirit in the best sense of the word, Genki Sudo built a stellar reputation among hardcore fans both at home and Japan as a true showman who could still deliver the goods when the bell rang. He even submitted Butterbean in a Japanese show in 2003. That bizarre victory aside, Sudo earned his keep in MMA because he always fought not only to win, but to entertain, something lost on many fighters. Whether it's a flying triangle, his quirky movements, or a quick flurry of fight ending blows, Sudo always brought it, and as victories over Royler Gracie, Nate Marquardt, and Mike Brown showed, the Neo-Samurai could always fight at the top levels of the lightweight division as well.
Daiju Takase - Tokyo
One of the hard luck stories in UFC history, Tokyo jiu-jitsu fighter Daiju Takase was a solid competitor who suffered from a case of poor career management, leading him into match after match against a killer series of opponents. Winless in three UFC bouts against Jeremy Horn, Kenichi Yamamoto, Fabiano Iha, Takase was nonetheless able to make a decent living fighting at home for the PRIDE and Pancrase organizations. His 9-13-2 record was obviously nothing to brag about, but he will always have one thing to hang his hat on, and that's his 2003 triangle choke submission win over future UFC superstar Anderson Silva in PRIDE, a stunning upset that no one can ever take away.
Yasuhiro Urushitani - Ehime
As the first Japanese fighter to help inaugurate the flyweight division in the UFC, Yasuhiro Urushitani was the perfect choice, given his talent, experience, and status as one of the best 125-pounders on the planet. An 11-year MMA veteran, Urushitani won five fights in a row leading up to his UFC debut in March of 2012, including a victory over Ultimate Fighter winner John Dodson, and though he was stopped by Joseph Benavidez, he gets to even up his UFC slate in Macao against John Lineker.
Kenichi Yamamoto - Osaka
2-1 in three UFC bouts, Kenichi Yamamoto was technically the first Japanese fighter to challenge for a UFC title when he fought Pat Miletich at UFC 29 (countryman Yuki Kondo battled Tito Ortiz in a title bout in that card's main event). Yamamoto was submitted in the second round by Miletich, and went back to compete in Japan, including three fights in PRIDE. After a five year layoff, Yamamoto returned in 2011, but was stopped in the first round by Sanae Kikuta.
Yoshiyuki Yoshida - Tokyo
Owner of a fourth-degree black belt in judo and numerous titles in the art, Yoshiyuki Yoshida made a smooth transition to the world of MMA. And though he was a relative unknown in the United States when he entered the Octagon for the first time against The Ultimate Fighter's Jon Koppenhaver in May of 2008, less than a minute later, a packed house in Las Vegas knew who he was after his impressive submission win. Losses in three of his next four UFC bouts followed against Josh Koscheck, Anthony Johnson, and Mike Guymon, leading to his 2010 release.

The announcement Friday night fanned speculation that Crist would seek to regain his old job from Republican Gov. Rick Scott in 2014.
Crist sent out a tweet that said, "Proud and honored to join the Democratic Party in the home of President (at)Barack Obama!"
The tweet included a photo of a smiling Crist and his wife Carole as he held up a Florida voter registration application. The Tampa Bay Times reports that Crist signed the papers changing his affiliation from independent to Democrat at a Christmas reception at the White House. President Barack Obama greeted the news with a fist bump.
"I've had friends for years tell me, 'You know Charlie, you're a Democrat and you don't know it,'" Crist told the newspaper Friday night.
He cited the Republican Party's shift to the right on a range of issues, including immigration, education and the environment.
Messages left for Crist by The Associated Press weren't immediately returned Friday night.
Crist was elected Florida governor in 2006 while in the GOP. As he moved to run for the U.S. Senate in 2010, he faced a tough primary challenge from the right and bolted the GOP to run as an independent. He lost a three-way Senate contest in 2010 to Republican Marco Rubio.
Crist, 56, spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., that nominated Obama for a second term and campaigned for his re-election.
Crist's decision to switch to a Democrat will increase speculation that he intends to challenge Scott, a former hospital chain CEO who has struggled with low favorability ratings since taking office. Crist has already criticized Scott for refusing to extend early voting despite pleas from U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson and other Democrats.
But it is unlikely that Crist would get a clear path to the Democratic nomination. Former State Sen. Nan Rich, D-Weston, has already jumped into the race and former Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink could run. Sink barely lost the 2010 governor's race to Scott. Some Democrats remain wary of Crist and even outgoing Florida Democratic Party chairman Rod Smith has joked that just because someone joins the congregation, "you don't make them the preacher."
Steve Schale, a Democratic political consultant who worked on Obama's Florida campaign, called a Crist a "viable Democrat."
"He earned his stripes when he supported the president," Schale said.
But Schale predicted that if Crist runs for governor, he would likely get a challenge from Sink and other Democrats and would have to endure a hard-fought primary.
Republicans in recent weeks have already ramped up their criticism of Crist and have pointed out that in the past he was critical of Obama and once described himself as a Republican in the mold of President Ronald Reagan and Crist's predecessor as governor, Jeb Bush.
"Charlie Crist's first official act as a Democrat was to tell a lie about why he is now pretending to be one," the Florida GOP said in a statement early Saturday. "The truth is that this self-professed, Ronald-Reagan Republican only abandoned his pro-life, pro-gun, conservative principles in 2010 after he realized that Republicans didn't want to send him to Washington D.C. as a senator, especially after he proved he couldn't do the job as governor."
Rick Wilson, a Florida-based Republican consultant, predicted that Crist would have to spend the next 14 months explaining how his switch to Democrat was something beyond just his own political ambitions.

College costs: High-sticker-price schools may cost less in the end
Don't let the big price tags nix an application to Harvard or Yale. The average student receiving financial aid on those campuses paid about a quarter of the public sticker price and most graduates leave their ivy-covered quads with smaller debts than peers who attended less prestigious schools.
It's not that unusual, according to statistics released Tuesday from U.S. News & World Report. In fact, some of the schools sending graduates out into the world with huge debts are campuses that aren't the bold-faced names that top the typical best-of lists. Many of the best colleges in the country are relative steals for the lucky few who earn admission.
"Folks look at the sticker price and assume that's what everyone is paying. The truth is that the more elite schools have more resources," said Amy Laitinen, a former White House education adviser now at the New America Foundation. "They have huge endowments that they often use to help lower-income and middle-income students – and even upper-income students."
Look at Princeton University, the top school in the magazine's annual ratings. Among students who borrowed to pay for their Ivy League education, they left the New Jersey campus with $5,096 in debt for four years – the lowest sum for alumni leaving a national university with debts. Among the 3-in-5 students who received need-based aid at Princeton, they were billed less than a third of the advertised price tag.
Then look northward. Among students who took on debt during college, Massachusetts' Wheelock College topped the list with almost $50,000 in red ink.
Seem off?
Consider this: Some of the biggest-name universities are also those with the most successful alumni, who fund their alma mater's investment portfolios. Interest from their endowments – 66 of them top $1 billion each – offset the cost of tuition, new buildings, high-profile professors, and new research for incoming students.
Money translates to prestige, and long-term investments offer financial stability and predictability. For high school students considering their options, a potential college's endowment might prove more important than the recreation center or even the published price tag.
Princeton, for instance, has $17 billion in its endowment, according to a survey from National Association of College and University Business Officers, a professional organization for college financial officials.
Competition for those dollars is fierce, however. The university accepted just 8 percent of applicants last year, the school told U.S. News for its college edition.
U.S. News based their figures on loans taken out by students from their colleges, banks and from state and local governments. Parents' loans were not included, nor were their contributions to their children.
Harvard University, the No. 2 school in U.S. News' annual ratings, reported a $30 billion endowment. That largesse, in part, helped provide 59 percent of its students with need-based aid. After those grants and scholarships, the average cost dropped to $15,486 – a 73 percent discount from the sticker price.
There, it is even tougher to earn acceptance. The school accepted just 6 percent of applicants.
Yale, the No. 3 school in overall quality on U.S. News & World Report's list, has a $19 billion endowment. That helped the Connecticut school give 54 percent of its student body need-based aid. That translated to an average cost of $16,205 for those students – a 73 percent discount from the sticker price.
Its acceptance rate: 7 percent.
Those schools' enormous resources are, of course, the exception. In 2012, the average college endowment was around $490 million, the survey by the college business officers group found.
Yet there is something almost perverse about the low levels of red ink for those graduating from the best schools. With their academic credentials, they will be less likely than their peers to struggle to find work and more likely to command better salaries.
Still, some schools are sending their graduates into the world with deep debt.
Wheelock College has the highest level of red ink among students who borrow for college, the magazine found. Some 82 percent of its graduates took on debt, and their average was $49,439. The 900-undergraduate school has an endowment of almost $43 million, a sliver of its neighbors. Wheelock College did not respond to requests for comment.
Anna Maria College, also in Massachusetts, was close behind with $49,206 in debt for the 86 percent of students who borrowed to pay for school. Anna Maria College did not dispute the findings.

Downloaded new apk, and new skins, and run new setupqorbiter.shI noticed there are still qt5 stuff downloaded via the setupqorbiter scriptfew small issues...- Start qorbiter, i get a new screen, asking for a router reload. i have this problem on all my systems. but i cannot read the text on the buttons, both buttons just say 'Reload'. i found out the left button is yes, and the right button is no- cannot select the smokey skin, i see it, but when i want to select it, nothing happens.- Power menu is available. but if i press the display on, or display off buttons, qorbiter crashed- I normally do not use the default skin, but now, i notice if i play any media, on qorbiter the screen just goes blank. only the background (blue/red pixels) is there.- Definitly notice qorbiter is slower. the datagrid loading speed is now about the same as when i previously connect over 3g with a vpn from workplace, to show my colleges my new cool toy - Dont know if this is skin related or new version related, but i have difficulties selecting rooms. it's to easy to swipe the room left and right, and then it is not possible to scroll up and down.- In the new security panel, the pincode that you enter gets displayed. And the buttons for selecting the security mode do not work- While browings media (video), i notice that the A-Z button do not work right from the start. you have to wait until all media is loaded. is it possible to show these schortcut letters, when media is found that start with that specific letter?Just a short check of functions, i will report back if i find new problems, although i really not like the default skin, i will put myself through this horror Anton

"Mom, can we play now?"
"Hmmm, let's see here. Insert tab B into slot A, see figure 1."
"Mom, is it ready yet?"
"Not yet, hon. Hmmm, snap the Snow Flake Lake into the plastic base. See diagram 529."
"Is it ready now?"
"Not yet. Hmmm how the heck do you put this parrot on the ship?"
"Can't we play yet? We've been waiting forever!"
"Parrot on a ship? Why is there a parrot? Why is there a SHIP? This is Candy Land, not the Pirates of Penzance! How on earth do you attach this stinkin' parrot???"
"Mom, can we play now? Mom, why are you throwing the parrot in the garbage?"
After I went back to school, got an engineering degree and spent a week and a half working on the game, it was finally assembled. Of course, the kids were bored and had already
I decided to skip the 28 pages of instructions on gameplay and instead, I sneaked out and bought an original version of Candy Land. You know, the good ole Candy Land with Plumpy and Grandma Nut and Princess Lolly. No children's game should be that complicated!
Clayton and Brooklyn have been on a Candy Land kick ever since. Every day, when Clay gets home from school, the 3 of us sit down and play. We sit there and talk while we play. Clay tells me what he did at school. Brooklyn catches him up on the TV he missed while at school. She tells him what animal Diego saved that day. In fact, yesterday she talked about how hippos and Oxpecker birds have a symbiotic relationship. Symbiotic? My THREE-year-old was telling me about symbiotic relationships! Sheesh, when I was three, the only things I got from television was that "C" was for cookie and the baker fell down the stairs with 7 pumpkin pies.
So, we talk and laugh and move our little gingerbread men around the board. And you know what? The kids take turns beautifully. And not only that, but they cheer each other on. And when someone else makes it to the Candy Castle, they say, "Good job!" to that person instead of throwing their piece across the room and screaming that it's "no fair!" In fact, while we were playing today, I looked away from the board for a minute and when I returned my gaze, I noticed that Brooklyn's piece, which had been way behind me and Clay, was suddenly right up with us. I said, "Wow, how did Brooklyn catch up so fast?" Clay whispered to me, "Well, she's a baby so I helped her out. I moved her piece up by us so she could win too. Shhh."
How sweet is that? It almost makes me forget all the times I hear, "You're doing it wrong! Stupid! I hate you! No, you're stupid! Mom, they called me stupid! You're an ogre! Go away!"
With as much fun as the little kids and I have been having playing games every afternoon, it has reminded me what fun it is to have a family game night. We've done this in the past, but haven't in probably over a year. I think it's time to institute game night Fridays again. My faves, Monopoly and Clue, are calling my name right now.
Does anyone else do Family Game Night? What are your favorite games? Do you have game night the same night of the week or do you fit it in whenever there aren't sports and other activities going on?

With Forgotten Bookmarks, Jr. (my first) due in a few months, I've already started thinking about the library I'll put together for the little squirt. As I was making my list, I thought it would be a great idea to offer up a similar selection of children's classics for all of you. The pictures above show what I came up with - by no means a complete library, but not a bad start.
