Ok, I am not one who basks in other people's misery but this news totally made my day! The slut of all sluts Tila Tequila was not thrilled with the outcome of the season 2 of her crappy reality show. She selected Kristy Morgan as the person who won her love but Kristy was smart enough to say no. Apparently Miss Thing here thought she was hot shit and would never get rejected by anyone. I can't blame Kristy. After all, who would wanna be with someone whose mouth has been everywhere. I bet you can contract STDs just by talking to her.
Hey all, if you have any feedback about our video player or any part of our video streaming application, we would like to know. Specifically, let us know about download speed, page load time, and any bugs you find.
Sorry about the bugs here and there the past couple of days and for some site downtime. We had to push our video streaming app, currently called "Mediastream", out much earlier than anticipated to work with the AAFilmLab and their Shootout. It's still months away from completion.
The site downtime issues should be fixed. We launched the streaming of the Shootout films the same day the charity event was widely announced and had huge spikes in traffic that our servers could not handle. We've since upgraded our server hardware as of 4am EST this morning.
Some of the videos have encoding issues, specifically "Cold War" by Color TV. There's some weird encoding issue that only affects that video and I haven't had time to figure it out with the Sichuan Charity event we're co-sponsoring and co-organizing.
There's one more team video we haven't uploaded yet, from team Ying Yang With a Twist. Their video was submitted late and so we'll post it whenever it's ready.
First off, wtf is Mario wearing? So this week on America's Best Dance Crew was the third episode of the second season. The challenge this week was "Rock the Title" where each crew was given a song title that they would have to visually illustrate in their routine. Even though this challenge was recycled from last season, I actually like it.
I don't buy figurines nor do I find them particularly necessary but after seeing this one, I don't think I can resist. Little Miss Hatsune Miku is being given a new face. No it's not plastic surgery although she is made of plastic in this version. Good Smile Company has just blogged about their limited edition Hatsune Miku nendoroid. It'll be released at the Wonder Festival with three different faces. This is by far the cutest figurine I've seen.
For the past few weeks Ningin and Museum of Chinese America have been secretly planning a massive Charity Event for the victims of the Sichuan Earthquake. It took us a while, but we finally have the big details locked down. Jabbawockeez is the main performing artist along with Ryan Leslie, Beau Sia, and Andrew Choi. Also special guest appearances by Park Jin Young (JYP) and Ken Leung, aka Miles from the TV show Lost. The incredible Minya Oh, Miss Info of HOT 97, will be the event host. There's more performers and celebrities pending confirmation, but it's a pretty big lineup already.
Save the date! Saturday July 12th, 7:30pm at Pace University's Michael Schimmel Center of the Arts Auditorium!
100% of the proceeds from this event goes directly to MercyCorps.
While this is all fun and entertaining, the overriding goal is to maintain awareness of the earthquake victims in China and the cyclones in Burma. Already these disasters have fallen of the headlines in mainstream media but tens of millions of people need our help there and will continue to need help for many years to come.
This Jabbawockeez headlined performance is really just the first step towards that goal. Ningin and many others will partner together to develop a special microsite dedicated to maintaining awareness for these victims and we welcome anyone else who wants to join the cause. I'll update what this entails as more details get confirmed. For now, if you are an Asian blogger or a blog that covers Asian stuff, contact me via Ningin private message to see how you can get a ticket to this event and get involved!
I'm not a fan or hater of So Nyuh Shi Dae (Girl's Generation/SNSD) but man do I hate arrogant people. This SM Entertainment all girl pop product contains 9 members: Yoona, Tiffany, Yuri, Hyoyeon, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Taeyeon (the leader), Jessica and Sunny. The one that's annoying; however, is Tiffany.
I swear this wedding is bigger than a royal wedding. Everyone, at least in Asia, is talking about it. It's the wedding of Hong Kong superstar Tony Leung and Carina Lau. Earlier reports stated that these two high profile celebrities were planning to tie the knot in October at the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong. Now a few Asian papers have confirmed that the big date is July 21 and they will be exchanging their vows in Bali, Indonesia instead.
Hey Jim, you're cool because you're old like me : ) Check out my interview with Jim Chu, filmmaker and owner of White Rabbit Lounge in NYC:
Two days ago, three Korean teenaged boys who call themselves Council of Mages won $36,000 dollars by playing World of Warcraft at the World Wide Invitational in Paris, France. While I love games and how much they consume the life out of me, I couldn't help but be happy that Korea won. Dae han min gook!
Gay men love survivors. No, I am not talking about the reality show on CBS. I am talking about female celebrities who manage to stage a successful career comeback after suffering from a serious case of domestic violence, mental/physical illness or career downward spiral. Divas like Cher and Tina Turner are survivors in the eye of gay men. Madonna? She's the goddess of everything apparently. Britney? We've all lost hope in her. Anyway, it seems that the "Gay Hall of Survivors" can now open its pink and fierce door to its newest recruit, Japanese diva Ayumi Hamasaki.

Bertram did everything he could to confuse the academic statistics in all the schools. Combining some, dividing others, creating "new" schools for small, special groups and warehousing the low performing groups in one building.
Millions have been poured into Glenwood, with minimal change in ISTEP scores. A school with fewer than 400 students and around 75 people working in the entire school, including a number of huge number of aides, paid for with stimulus and state money, proves that spending money won't improve education or increase native intelligence.
Delaware, after being in line for a state take-over for years, suddenly had a surge in their ISTEP performance, which no one has questioned or investigated. No funding was provided, no change in enrollment was made. What happened? Shouldn't they be looking for the cause of this big jump in learning and test scores. Wouldn't you want those methods applied in your school, if they actually are the results of learning and not manipulation of the tests?
Bertram wouldn't use the word "redistricting", but Oak Hill and Scott have been redistricted. So have Culver and Glenwood. Bosse and Central will find their enrollments including the southern most areas of the current North district.
Will that be due to economy measures, reducing the amount of fuel and buses required to haul kids to North, or will it be a measure taken in hopes of increasing the ISTEP, SAT and ACT scores at new North? An attempt to prove a new school with all the bells and whistles can create improved academic success?
Can a new school make your kid smarter, or can the EVSC make you believe spending all that money will?

Bahraini Embassy roof protester threatens to jump A protester who has climbed on to the roof of the Bahraini Embassy in central London has threatened to jump. Moosa Satrawi is highlighting the imprisonment and treatment of prominent human rights activist, Abdulhadi al-Khawaja and Hasan Mushaima, the leader of a banned political party in Bahrain. Mr Mushaima's son, Ali Mushaima, is also on the roof. The Metropolitan police said officers were at the embassy in Belgrave Square, which has been closed.

Capping the rink.
This is the colorful but uncomplicated phrase that Rockefeller Center managers use to describe the thoroughly elaborate procedure in which they expect, for the first time, to hoist a gabled white nylon tent over the center's ice rink before Sunday night.
The new $100,000 tent will not enclose skaters, nor even a circus. Instead, it will house a rainbow of 10,000 plants at the 24th Annual International Orchid Show, long a harbinger of springlike weather in Manhattan.
The capping begins tomorrow night, but the rink, and its riotous complement of orchids, won't be ready for its public close-up until Wednesday. The tented exhibition will be the centerpiece of the five-day show, which will offer orchids from more than 60 international exhibitors.
Thomas A. Madden Jr., managing director for Tishman Speyer Properties, owners of Rockefeller Center, said that a search of the center's records had uncovered no previous capping of the rink. But he is not above inaugurating a new tradition: ''Just as the lighting of the Christmas tree is an icon of the winter season, the raising of the orchid tent could be a new sign of spring.''

Loading... Thunderball (original 1961; edition 2002)by Ian Fleming
Work detailsThunderball by Ian Fleming (1961)
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This was my first James Bond novel and while it was entertaining, it wasn't captivating - and the story just sort of ended. James, reflecting the time period in which this was written, is kind of obnoxious about women, and isn't nearly the debonair character that I have known in movies. Still, not a bad read. James Bond, 007, spy in Her Majesty's Secret Service, is sent into the Bahamas to vet M.'s hunch that the island area is the site where a military aircraft and it's cargo of two nuclear missiles has disappeared to. Thunderball introduces listenership to S.P.E.C.T.R.E. (Special Executive for Counter Intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion), the successor organization to SMERSH in the Bond canon; to Blofeld, the mastermind behind the criminal organization and, to Bond Girl, Dominette "Domino" Vitali. Ian Fleming wrote contemporary novels which reflected the values and fears of Post-War men and women. After two atomic weapons had been dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Atomic Age was ushered in with all it's possibilities and terrors. The promise of atomic energy was that it would be the driving force behind the manifest industrialism of the Western world; but security concerns and the threat of Communism were equally prevalent. While many view Bond's adventures as fantastic, Thunderball is less so in creating a scenario that even today is not impossible: a NATO plane is high jacked and a terrorist organization seeks to blackmail the Western world with the threat of detonating the bombs unless its demands are met. Thunderball is the ninth title in the James Bond series and if you've read the preceding eight titles, there are certain things you may find familiar and welcome: the casino card games, the setting in the Caribbean Community, the underwater tableaux and, of course a Bond Girl. What's great about Bond novels though, is that despite these recognizable features, you still don't know what to expect! Instead of being formulaic in his plotting, Fleming uses the familiar as metaphorical touchstones in unfamiliar territory. Inasmuch as Fleming write of his times, listeners may rise an eyebrow at certain expressions that have fallen out of favor or meant something completely different in 1961 than they do now. To wit, there are frequent references to "nigger heads" which is a term that was used to describe certain kinds of coral and; there is a chapter called "How to Eat a Woman" which is not the sexually explicit reference in the context provided! Simon Vance is the British narrator for Thunderball and voices the multi-national raft of characters with astuteness, making discernment of the characters easy. If some accents are more challenging for Vance, such as American or the Island Patois, after eight Bond novels he has definitely settled into a comfort zone that accommodates and ameliorates those challenges. It's also worth noting that Fleming didn't throw a figurative curve ball in characters in Thunderball either: no white Anglo colonial daughter raised by a Jamaican nanny (cf. Doctor No)! Redacted from the original blog review at dog eared copy, Thunderball; 04/19/2012 my edition Pan X201, 1964 Short review: not that well written, silly. This will most likely be my last Bond novel. I ordered four of the original James Bond thrillers to have a matched set replacing old worn out paperbacks. The books are much more exciting and believable than the gadget filled overglossy charactered movies. The story lines are more subtle.

is a city located in central Kagawa Prefecture on the island of Shikoku in Japan, and is the seat of the prefectural government. It is designated a core city by the Japanese Government. It is a port city located on the Seto Inland Sea, and is the closest port to Honshu from Shikoku island. For this reason it flourished under the Daimyo (feudal lords) as a castle town in the fiefdom of Takamatsu, during the Edo Period. Takamatsu is a city with a large concentration of nationwide companies' branch offices, which play a large role in its economy, and it contains most of the national government's branch offices for Shikoku. The castle tower formerly used as the symbol of the city was destroyed during the Meiji Period. In 2004, construction of the Symbol Tower, the new symbol of Takamatsu, was completed. The Symbol Tower is located in the Sunport area of the city.
The Takamatsu metropolitan region has a population of 838,788 (as October 1, 2005), making it the largest in Shikoku. Takamatsu Airport is located in Takamatsu. On September 26, 2005 the town of Shionoe, from Kagawa District, was merged into Takamatsu. Then on January 10, 2006 Takamatsu absorbed the towns of Aji and Mure, both from Kita District, the towns of Kagawa and Kōnan, both from Kagawa District, and the town of Kokubunji, from Ayauta District, to form the new and expanded city of Takamatsu.

Porsche Considering Diesel Vehicles for USA
The brand may also unveil Panamera variants with a diesel engine and a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain at the Geneva auto show in March, the trade weekly said.
The models would help Porsche to meet demand for fuel-efficient cars that is growing fast even among luxury car buyers. "We are discussing internally if we should introduce the Cayenne diesel in the U.S. this year. Also a Panamera diesel is an option," said Bernhard Maier, the brand's sales and marketing chief.
Diesels are still much more prevalent in Europe than in the U.S. IN Europe, gas is much more expensive than in the U.S., often topping $7 and $8 a gallon. Clean low-sulfur diesel is taxed less in Europe, making it an attractive option on top of the 25%-30% improvement in fuel economy over gas engines.
These would be Porsche's first diesels in the U.S. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Volkswagen already sell diesel cars in the U.S.
Maier told the trade weekly that Porsche has noticed that consumers in the U.S., where diesels currently have only a tiny market share, are increasingly choosing diesel cars. "We will make a decision soon," he said.
Porsche has sold a Cayenne diesel in Europe since early 2009. Last year, the company introduced a Cayenne gasoline-electric hybrid in Europe and the United States.

June 20, 2008 - LANSING, MI – Alma College and Pine River Superfund Citizen Task Force received the 2008 Carter Partnership Award. This campus-community partnership was recognized June 19, 2008, at the Fox Theatre in Detroit at the annual Governor's Service Awards.
Following a history of environmental abuse from a chemical in St. Louis, MI, the Pine River was declared a Superfund site. In 1999, after learning of the Environmental Protection Agencies' (EPA) recommendation to proceed with a clean up of Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane (DDT) contamination in the river, Alma College and the community collaborated to form the Pine River Superfund Citizen Task Force. This Task Force is an EPA sanctioned Community Advisory Group (CAG) which serves as a conduit between the community and the EPA to monitor the Superfund clean up and other activities involving the Pine River. The college and the community work together to ensure the exchange of ideas between the EPA, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), the local media and members of the greater community regarding information and ideas concerning the Pine River are heard by all parties. The long term goal of the group is to see a complete clean up of contamination from the plant throughout the county and see the Pine River returned to a state that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Press Release - June 20, 2008.

NASDAQ Notifies Emmis Communications Corporation Class A Common Shares Fall Below Minimum Bid Price
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Emmis Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: EMMS) today announced it received notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") on November 1, 2010, that the Company's Class A Common Stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share bid requirement for 30 consecutive business days and therefore is not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Rule"). The Company has until May 2, 2011, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. During this period, the Company's Class A Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
"This news is not unexpected," said Emmis Chairman and CEO, Jeff Smulyan. "We are actively evaluating our alternatives and are confident we have a variety of options to address this situation prior to May 2, 2011."
If at any time before May 2, 2011, the bid price of the Company's Class A Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by May 2, 2011, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its Class A Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Nasdaq rules would then permit the Company to appeal any delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
The Company intends to actively evaluate and monitor the bid price for its Class A Common Stock between now and May 2, 2011, and consider implementation of various options available to the Company if its Class A Common Stock does not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance.
The notification does not affect the listing of the Company's 6.25% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "EMMSP."

The Asian Human Rights Commission has once again decided to engage in critical generalizations about Sri Lanka, in pursuit of its aim of proving that the government cares nothing about human rights whereas AHRC is the noblest, not to say, the most garrulous, champion of them all. This time it hangs its critique on the UN Day in Support of Victims of Torture, and claims that Sri Lanka is indifferent to torture charges, its principal arguments being that the Ministry of Disaster Management did nothing to commemorate this day, and instead a statement 'from the spokesman for the ministry manifested the usual lack of political will to deal with the issue of torture'.
As proof of this, Basil Fernando cites a sentence from a recent statement which arose indeed from yet another missive from AHRC. That earlier AHRC missive claimed that Sri Lankan attempts to seek assistance to improve the Human Rights situation was also somehow proof that Sri Lanka was not really interested in Human Rights. Initially the claim was that Sri Lanka was in a state of denial about violations of Human Rights, but when Sri Lanka accepts that flaws need to be corrected, that in turn becomes a subject of criticism, from an agency that obviously cannot bear to be contradicted in its belief that it knows things lesser mortals cannot comprehend.
This time round the argument is even more specious than usual, in that Basil Fernando cites just part of a sentence, namely the first fifteen words of the following paragraph -
'With regard to torture, it is well known that it exists all over the world, and as the recent death in Britain of a young soldier punished to death shows, it is not only in a context of 'othering', as in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay that such horrors occur. It is of course the duty of any country to put a stop to such occurrences, through training and education, but also through punitive action. In this regard it has been noted that Sri Lanka has issued indictments, but the conviction rate is low. The UN Special Rapporteur has suggested that one reason for this may be a mandatory high sentence, and this should perhaps be adjusted. But it is also necessary to improve our investigative techniques and prosecution skills, and these are now being addressed. There is certainly no need to feel ashamed of seeking expert assistance in these areas, and indeed it is unfortunate that the so-called international Police Support Group failed in its several years of existence to deal with the problems more systematically.'
This paragraph clearly indicates that Sri Lanka sees the need for both training and punitive action to stop incidents of torture. It refers to inadequacies in both areas, and the type of remedial action that might be taken. Instead of taking any notice about this, Basil then goes on, with that peculiar logic that does no credit to his initial intellectual training as a seminarian, to claim that the 'statement that torture exists all over the world is like saying that deaths occur in all hospitals and therefore there is no difference between good hospitals and bad hospitals'. In case the reader did not get the point, he adds, forgetting his syntactical structure, again with no credit to his earlier vocation as an English teacher 'or to say that there is child mortality in all countries and therefore there is no distinction between those countries that have proved capable of minimizing it and those countries which have failed to do so'.
Basil ignores the fact that the paragraph does not make any value judgments of the sort he introduces in the second of each pair of noun clauses – 'therefore there is no difference ….. therefore there is no distinction'. Of course there are differences, and that is why we need to improve. But my point was very simply that, while Sri Lanka can and must accept that torture occurs in Sri Lanka – which is why we need measures to control it – we do not accept that torture is systemic in Sri Lanka.

We are happy that UN Rapporteurs, whom we have invited to this country not once but twice in recent years, agree with this position and that the last of them, Prof Manfred Novak, whilst pointing out the dangers, is working with us to reduce the problem. But despite this, after another excursus into the comparatively wonderful nature of society in South Korea and Hong Kong, he goes into another diatribe which is totally at variance with the text on which he has based his essay. He claims that the sentence he quotes is evidence that 'a government spokesman justifies torture…Behind such a statement is the mentality that the state owes nothing to its people. It reveals the contempt of the government for its citizens'. Finally, he dismisses me as a 'hired spokesman' who engages in 'pooh-poohing all criticism'.
The suggestion presumably is that Basil Fernando engages in such pyrotechnics as a matter of principle, and that the salary he is paid has nothing to do with his performance. But the relentless attempts to personally denigrate anyone with whom he disagrees, by attributing motives, by suppressing their arguments that are inconvenient to his own case, by introducing statements they did not make, are all signs of a personality that has been taken over by its own sense of righteousness. This does no credit to the Christian spirit he and his organization should manifest, and suggests that engagement with such an institution cannot be productive.

One "of the Most Excellent Netherlandish Masters"
Ducq, Jan le (1629/30 The Hague 1676). The Rider at the Pillar. To the left, supervised there by instructor with whip in the raised right. At the left margin of the picture small property, at the right overgrown large ruins, in front of it two men with dog observing the exercise. Etching. Sheet size 18.6 x 23.3 cm.
Sheet 3 of a 4-sheet-set
described neither in Nagler (1863) , Wurzbach (1906) nor Davidsohn (1920)
whose first two ones are by Roman de Hooghe (1645-1708) who also was connected with the whole set. The 4th sheet, The Waiting Rider at the River, in Nagler, Monogramists III, Ducq, at 2184, no. 8, in Wurzbach. Jakob Duck, per 8, and in cat. Davidsohn I, Ducq ("Debatable sheet … Very rare") per 1378 with remarkable estimate, see below.
With the no. 3 below outside right in the white margin. – With almost complete large watermark "Reared Lion in double lined Circle below Fleur-de-lis" with sword in the right and arrows in the left as variant to Heawood 3140-3145 (1651 till c. 1689) inclusive of the paddings in the circle, but without its escutcheon. – Lower right small oval collector's stamp A (? Aretin? see below, H?).
The excellent impression from the J. H. Anderhub Collection
not figuring, as further prints, too, in the 1963 book sale of the "Bibliotheca Hippologica I. H. Anderhub". – Trimmed to platemark with 2-4 mm surrounding margin and above lots of white plate field. Fine vertical box pleat running through only noticeable above and below rider + horse resp.
By the same hand as the thought sheet 4 assigned already in 1863 by Nagler to the painter + etcher le Ducq, pupil of Paulus Potter and foremost related to the animal and landscape subject, as one "of the most excellent Netherlandish masters", the confusion continues with the Utrecht genre painter and etcher of soldier interiors Jacob Duck (about 1600 – 1667; from about 1660 to 1661 in The Hague), whose works run, so Thieme-Becker, since the 18th century indeed mostly under le Ducq's name, just as the latter's paintings on their part circulated as Dujardins in consequence of stylistical relationship. The confusion of both promoted not least by le Ducq's additionally military themes, too, since he had joined as soldier the States-General where he had been promoted captain. Gradually being exhausted his "quite rare" (Thieme-Becker) painted work kept within bounds. The engraver is documented by a certificate of the Hague Guild of 17th June 1662 granting him the sale of his copper-plates and etchings.
Nagler repeatedly qualifies the latter as preciousnesses and here it is especially the "famous set of the hounds" from 1661 which figures in Weigel's Art Stock Catalog, division VIII, 1840, per 9135 as "Of greatest rarity" at the high price of 80 Thaler. In the Davidsohn Catalog (I, 1376) in 1920 the 8 sheet in but the second state were estimated at 600 Reichsmark, yet the "Rider at the Riverside" mentioned above as single sheet at half of this, that is 300 Reichsmark!
This to elucidate the preciousness of le Ducq's sheets. In harmony, too, with Nagler's report of 1863 in regard of the riverside rider :
" This wittily etched sheet Brulliot describes in the Aretin Catalogue no. 4401 with the remark that it were etched in le Ducq's manner. He missed the (signature) letters, yet at the sale an art collector paid 100 fl. for this sheet."
The present sheet, however, it may be repeated, lay before neither Nagler nor Wurzbach and was missing in the legendary Davidsohn Collection, too.
The rareness of the sheet here in such a way superb !
Offer no. 28,977 / EUR 630. / export price EUR 599. (c. US$ 844.) + shipping

text: BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) _ A Bismarck lawmaker doesn't want law enforcement to use unmanned planes to spy on citizens unless a warrant is obtained. Republican state Rep. Rick Becker told the House Judiciary Committee on Monday that the measure is not anti-law enforcement. He says it's about protecting privacy rights. Jerry Kemmet of the North Dakota Peace Officers Association opposes the idea and called for more study. He says banning the use of drones limits law enforcement. University of North Dakota Vice President for Research Phyllis Johnson also opposes the bill. Johnson says the legislation could have a negative impact on drone research at UND. She says it may prevent North Dakota from being selected as one of six national test sites under consideration by the federal government.

Making Pancakes From A Bottle
21 September, 2012I really love pancakes. Everyone has a food that reminds them of good times and pancakes are that for me. (Oh and pecan pie, but this post is about pancakes, not pie.) In the US, there are places like IHOP and Waffle House that line the highways. Anytime I got a hankering for pancakes at 2am, I could go and have fluffy goodness prepared for me in a dozen different ways. In Germany, not so much.
Rising Hopes
They do have things called Pfannkuchen here, which translates to Pancakes. Yet really when they put meat and other things inside them, they are not real flapjacks. They are thinner and more crepe-like than fluffy style things.
Disappointment. Though they are ok, not what I want when I think of pancakes. The memories come with the texture and taste, not the name. However I noticed a bottle in Rewe a while back labeled as American Style Pancake mix. We decided to try it. Here is that story.
Mix and Make
So the idea of this is that the bottle is about half full of powder. You fill it to a line with milk, shut and shake. Extra points for seriously easy preparation. Even the mix at home isn't that easy. There is measuring and a bowl required.
Once the stuff is mixed you let it sit for a bit and then just start squeezing it into a buttered pan. This is where my previous pancake making experience came in handy. I remember that you want to see bubbles along the edge. That is the sign to flip when the bubbles come up all over. This served me well. About the 2nd or 3rd batch I was getting them decently brown when I flipped.
Thanks Mom
We do not have a griddle. I imagine very few Germans have a griddle, at least not one useful for pancakes. So I get a set of 3 in a pan and the whole bottle makes 12 or so, so I was doing several batches. My mom used to make pancakes in family sized batches and let the early batches sit in a warm(not hot) oven until the later ones were ready. I figured I would do the same.
It works great, but well.. umm.. the Celsius temperatures still seem hard to understand for me. So while I didn't overcook the cakes, I did almost burned my finger on the plate that was too hot. Yay oven mitts to the rescue.
Finish with Syrup
So once they are done and spread on the plate, for the authentic pancake breakfast you need to add butter and maple syrup. While the bottle of pancake mix is less than 2Euro, the syrup is quite expensive. I think we paid 6Euro for the bottle of imported-from-Canada grade A syrup. No Mrs Butterworths artificially flavored (both maple and butter flavorings added) syrup here. Even if we wanted it, I haven't seen it. All that artificially done stuff wouldn't fit with the Germans anyway. So we pay for more. (It's ok, it's worth it.)
Why don't I make my own?
As much as I am learning how to cook, that kind of thing is not my forte. Though very very early in this whole travel blogging thing I ran across a recipe for pancakes on Rachelle Lucas's site. Even years later I remember that link and have still not tried to make them. My biggest hangup (other than the idea of mixing it all by hand), is figuring out what baking powder is in Germany. Most of their stuff is more solid or yeast based rising it seems.
Oh yeah and I like a challenge. I've learned to melt butter on a stove for popcorn, so I am totally up for makign pancakes from a bottle.
And the Verdict?
So how do they taste?
Really ok. The batch that we made was not really fluffy, but still not crepe-like flat. I do not know how much of this is due to my mixing or my cooking skills or just how the mix itself was designed. Definitely not buttermilk pancakes (hmmm wonder if I could find buttermilk to mix in), but definitely closer to the style I am used to from home. I need some practice with the flipping, but I would try it again. We just need more syrup.

Actually, nothing wrong with pancakes in a bottle. If you make them on your own, you have a bunch of batter in a bowl. This way, it's in a bottle you can store

But of course it is also very expensive.
You can buy that type of mix in a bottle here in the U.S. It is pretty good.

Fun morning! Maybe we should try buttermilk next time, if we can find it here.

We got some of that mix free from a Fasching parade float this year. I wouldn't get it again! You can use the German baking powder, just use slightly more than the recipe calls for. Or get relatives to bring or send you the US kind. One can or box is light and easy to carry or ship and lasts a long time!

Rodgers Gets a Harsh Critique
By Chris in Football, Packers Sites on January 12, 2010 3:52 pm / 3 comments
In his film study review of the Packers playoff loss to Arizona, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writer Bob McGinn was less than charitable in his assessment of the play of Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers:
The stark difference between the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals in the NFC wild-card playoffs Sunday was the play of the two quarterbacks.Kurt Warner looked every bit the sage veteran with 11 playoff starts under his belt, including three Super Bowls. He was so extraordinarily precise that the Cardinals only needed to reach third down five times to amass their 30 first downs.
On the other hand, Aaron Rodgers could have been tight for his playoff debut. The Packers didn't seem ready to play, which is on coach Mike McCarthy, but Rodgers had been so sharp for so long that something was on his mind. The playoffs, especially a playoff opener, do things to some people. He didn't play his game.
Rodgers might have made his worst decision all year on the first play of the game (interception). He reverted back to holding the ball. His deep-ball accuracy deserted him with the outcome at hand. And he didn't see a slot blitz on the final play (fumble) that turned into the winning touchdown for Arizona in its 51-45 overtime victory.
In a game in which Rodgers' passer rating was grossly misleading, the Packers simply couldn't overcome their disadvantage at the most important position. When one quarterback doesn't make a mistake and the other makes half a dozen or more, it should be clear why the game turned out as it did.
For such a gross disparity in QBs when all other elements of the game were, in McGinn's rendering, equal, the final score was mighty close–and the game went to overtime, too. How can that be when Rodgers made so many mistakes? I have a theory: McGinn's analysis is skewed and he has exaggerated, perhaps even blown out of proportion, Rodgers flaws.
I will also submit that 12′s flaws, notably the sacks he took, aren't why they lost the game–their flaccid defense was far more important. In fact, Rodgers ability to keep plays alive — which is going to lead to some sacks — is probably more likely a reason why they were able to dig themselves out of the hole they were in and rally.
Dinging Rodgers for trying to keep plays alive is like dinging Brett Favre for his interceptions: This negative in his game is also part of the reason he is as good as he is. Like 4′s INTs, this trait of 12′s might be something we have to accept in order to get the rest of the package, which is overwhelmingly good.

Paul Budde says:
I can't stand McGinn's assessment….
Yes, Rodgers was a little off, probably a little nervous.
He was also the reason that we came back, despite hardly even attempting a run…. The fact that he could go back and repeatedly throw, throw, throw the Packers back into the game was all I needed. 300 yards passing in the second half? Didn't they score five times in a row?
I'll take 12.
BigSnakeMan says:
"Insight" like this is why I stopped paying for Packer Insider.
Dave Kerwin says:
If he is responsible for the loss, when did I miss him playing on the defense?

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Tom Barrett and the three fellow Democrats he defeated in Tuesday's primary say they are unified in recalling Republican Governor Scott Walker.
Barrett treated his 3 former opponents to breakfast at his Milwaukee home Wednesday morning. They then met with reporters, and vowed they would work together to improve the future of Wisconsin.
Kathleen Falk, who finished a distant second in the primary, said she quickly gave her support to the Democratic nominee – and she urged her supporters to do likewise.
State Senate Democrat Kathleen Vinehout and Secretary of State Doug La Follette also stressed their need to get behind Barrett to defeat the first-term governor.
State Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate said the party is launching a major blitz to get supporters to the polls on June 5th – and that effort will continue throughout the remaining 27 days of the campaign.
Walker also said the GOP would work hard to get out the vote for the general election.
