Poached egg over artichoke textures topped with crispy pancetta and Parmigiano Reggiano
Number of Diners
Difficulty Level
Cooking Time
Oh yes, with this dish I'm going up on elegance and more for sure. Thought for my future menu and experimenting for the first time with foams and textures; reading about flavour combinations and cooking methods. This plate has travelled from Julia Child's artichoke bottoms cooked in a 'blanc' ('like it used to be done'), to an artichoke foam accomplished with Ferran Adrià's ISI Gourmet Syphon. Over these two textures a poached egg and to enhance flavour crispy pancetta and some Parmigiano Reggiano. This is harmony ladies and gentlemen.
Ingredients. For 4.
- 12 fresh artichokes, the biggest you can find. If they are not so big then you will be needing 16, 8 of which will be bottoms and the rest for the foam.
- 4 eggs, best quality and very fresh
- 100 gr of pancetta
- Parmigiano Regianno cheese
- 3 lemons
- 1/2 onion finely sliced
- 200 gr of cream 35.1% grease
- 100 gr water and 100 of the broth form the artichokes
- 30 gr butter
- 3 gr agar-agar
- 1/2 litre ISI-Gourmet syphon
- vinager
- salt, pepper and nutmeg
Let's take it by steps.
1. Artichokes. Day before.
- First you need to pick up the 4 biggst artichokes because we need the biggest bottoms or hearts, where the poached egg will be layed on. If they are smal there will be 2 per plate. These ones we will prepare as Julia Child did, 'as done before' a friend told me: in a blanc.
- First break the stem off close to the base of the artichoke. Holding the bottom up, bend a lower leaf back until it snaps. Then pull it off. Continue until you've gone beyond the curse, where the cones of leaves folds inward.

Libertarian Jim Deakin can't stand politicians who hit women either and Mike Stauffer is looking better and better in Maricopa County Sheriff race
Monday, October 15th, 2012Jim Deakin is known in our community as a Libertarian. He saw Sheriff Joe Arpaio's video against Paul Penzone and stated Mike Stauffer (the Independent Candidate) is looking better.
Several Libertarian-Republicans who are Precinct Committeemen cannot come out in support of Mike Stauffer openly for fear of losing their PC status.
I agree with Jim Deakin….I cannot stand men who hit women either. Besides, partisanship does not belong in the Sheriff's office. We already know that Penzone only managed 6 employees in 2009, and is not fit to manage the 3rd largest County Sheriff Department in the country.

Atheist Groups Launch Attacks Against Ten Commandment Displays
The anti-religion enforcers of the ACLU and Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) are out in force once again, sniffing for any sign of faith, worship, or Christian symbols at schools, court houses, or any other public venue.
Forest Service: Jesus Statue Will Stay in Montana National Forest
The U.S. Forest Service has announced that a statue of Jesus Christ that has graced the Big Mountain ski hill in northwestern Montana's Flathead National Forest for nearly 60 years can stay there for at least 10 more years, thwarting efforts by the secular Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) to have it removed.
Anglican Bishops Back Christian Counselor Over Therapy for Homosexuals
A British counselor who was censured by the UK's top professional psychotherapy association for agreeing to help a man leave the homosexual lifestyle has received the backing of high-ranking officials from one of the nation's most venerable institutions: the Church of England.
Austin, Texas Maintains Harassing Ordinance Against Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers
A team of conservative legal advocacy groups has come to the aid of pro-life pregnancy centers in Austin, Texas, which continue to be harassed by city ordinances making it difficult for them to help women choose life for their babies.
Late last year the city of Austin abandoned an ordinance it had passed requiring crisis pregnancy centers to post signs stipulating that they do not perform abortions or prescribe emergency birth control such as the morning-after abortion pill. But now the city council has implemented a new ordinance which omits the words "abortion" and "birth control," but still requires the pro-life centers to stipulate whether or not they offer medical services under the direction of a licensed health-care provider.
Tenn. Senator Tossed From Bistro for "Anti-Gay" Views
The story sounds like something out of 1960s Nashville, when diners were thrown out of restaurants by managers and owners who didn't like the color of their skin. Only in this case it's 2012, the town is Knoxville, Tennessee, and the manager of the restaurant — a little place called the Bistro at the Bijou — didn't care for the views the patron, Republican State Senator Stacey Campfield (left), has on homosexuality.
Controversial Christian General Bows out of West Point Prayer Breakfast
Pressure from a military veterans group unhappy with his stance on Islam and the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States has prompted retired Army Lieutenant General William G. "Jerry" Boykin (left) to cancel his appearance as a speaker at West Point's upcoming prayer breakfast February 8.
Petition Asks Bible Translators to Return "Father" and "Son" to Arabic Scriptures
A U.S.-based missions support organization has mounted a petition drive aimed at pressuring a group of respected Bible translators to change how they present the relationship between God and Jesus in Arabic and Turkish Scripture translations geared for Muslim readers. According to the group Biblical Missiology, Wycliffe Bible translators, the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL), and a group called Frontiers have produced scriptural translations that replace "Father," "Son," and "Son of God," with other words because such terms may be offensive to Muslim readers.
Court Rules for Christian Counseling Student in Religious Discrimination Case
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th District has ruled that Eastern Michigan University (EMU) was out of line in expelling a graduate counseling student because of her unwillingness to validate homosexuality in her treatment of individuals struggling with same-sex attraction.
Calif. University Stands Its Ground Against Homosexual Onslaught
Homosexual activists are once again up in arms over a Christian university's rejection of an "LGBT" [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender] club. In this case, Pepperdine University, a California liberal arts institution affiliated with the conservative Church of Christ denomination, announced in January that it would not allow the homosexual support group Reach OUT to meet on the college's campus.
Conservative Presbyterians Announce Break From Liberal PCUSA
A break-off group from the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) launched a new conservative evangelical fellowship during a meeting in Florida in mid-January. The name of the new denomination is the Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians (ECO), which came together in response to the severe liberalization of the PCUSA over the past several years, particularly its decision last year to allow the ordination of openly homosexual clergy (see The New American's coverage).

Tap into the Age of Information this summer…In Rome, Italy!
* Below is a course from our Summer 2013 intersession. Look out for Summer 2014 programs to be announced mid-December!
What better time to explore the importance of information, than in today's fast-paced world of digital communications and information exchange?! Whether you're interested in the link between information and everyday life, or if digital information and various digital platforms intrigues you, this program will not disappoint!
Offered in partnership with Simmons College Graduate School of Library & Information Science, these two, dynamic courses expose students to the international component of today's Information Age. In addition to classroom learning, students have the opportunity to explore Rome for the culturally-rich and complex city that it is, as well as its influence in the world of information. While here students gain a greater appreciation for information theory and human behavior as it relates to information in the digital age.
Graduate Courses:
Taught by Dr. Christine Angel, this course will use the concept of the digital library as a platform for exploring digital preservation, sustainability, information representation, and cyber-infrastructure. Emphasis will be placed on ways in which digital information is managed and accessed within national libraries, archives, and museums. Students will document their Rome experience and demonstrate mastery of course goals as they create their own digital library resource.
Taught by Dr. Kevin Rioux, this seminar course covers how information practitioners seek to better understand their service constituencies (i.e., the "users"). Students completing the course will learn how information seeking is a process driven by everyday life, and how information behaviors shape our lives. Emphasis will be placed on how research on information use and users directs practical information work. The Rome experience will lend a cross-cultural and cultural literacy dimension to the topics discussed.
Credits: 3 - 6
Dates: May 24 – June 10, 2013 (CANCELLED) Please note: Students must arrive in Rome on May 24 and depart on June 10. If you depart from New York, for most flights you must leave the day before the arrival date.
Accommodations: You will stay in the St. John's Rome Campus dormitory. The campus is located in the Prati neighborhood, rich in history and beautiful architecture, just north of the Vatican in central Rome.
The facility is located on the Lepanto subway line, just two streets from the building. While at St. John's Rome campus you will be able to walk to the Vatican, or take a short subway ride to the Piazza del Popolo, Piazza Navona, or the Castel Sant'Angelo.
Our campus combines old-world architectural elements with modern presentation technology. Classrooms are high tech with presentation ability, a fully-wired computer lab with printers for your use, a spacious meeting room, library and student lounge. Our bilingual staff, including a resident director and resident assistants will assist you with any needs.
Room accommodations include: double or triple rooms, with 2 or 3 wardrobes and desks per room, linens are provided for your use for the duration of the program. Each room has an individual air conditioning unit, and wireless broadband internet access. Showers, sinks and toilets are shared per residence floor.
Meals: 3 group dinners (including a welcome and a farewell dinner); breakfast and lunch provided 4 days a week
Professors: Dr. Kevin Rioux & Dr. Christine Angel
Program Fee: $1,990 plus tuition (airfare NOT included)
*Tuition and airfare are in addition to the program fee. Please check the tuition based on your school and how many credits you choose to enroll in while abroad.

I have recently noticed how 'random' my blog might seem to a new visitor to my Home page so over recent weeks I have added extra pages on each of the main subjects I cover in my posts. Social History/Genealogy, Mental Health, John Keats, and a page dedicated to my entries for 'a river of stones...' make it easier to navigate to posts of interest if you are here for the first time. They are all just under the header at the top of the page. Of course – I will continue to be completely random on occasion and everything will still be on my home page anyway so do feel free just to pop over and browse!

The Last Lecture - Randy Pausch

The Last Lecture - Randy Pausch
You can watch a small portion of the last lecture on you tube, but the book is better.
Absolutely one of my all time favorite books. I've probably read it once every five to 10 years since 1972. There is one odd little roadblock - an 80something page speech which isn't easy to get through, but which defines a lot of her philosphy. I also love The Fountainhead and it's a much easier read with many of the same principles and good strong characters.
Haven't read anything life changing lately. Someone silly gifted me with about 10 or more magazine subscriptions last xmas, and I'm bombarded monthly with those. Fortunately I've been seeing a lot of "this is your last issue," recently.
"Now I'm just another anonymous shut-in with an online shopping addiction." - Georgina Sparks.
"I puked like a hero for the rest of the night." - Anthony Bourdain, 2002.
"Brain: an apparatus with which we think that we think." - Ambrose Bierce
Bitchapalooza 2013
I liked The Fountainhead but had a hard time getting into Atlas Shrugged. My gripe is that, for a stoic infinitely-capable guy, John Galt is remarkably verbose! You would picture him as a man who appreciated brevity. But when Galt finally shows up, he blabs for pages and pages. He could've said what he wanted to say in a paragraph.
nah - nothing of late.......althou many years ago I read centennial by James A Mitchener....... and DH and I are coming to America in May....and he said would you like to go and see the Platte? river that the book centennial was based around............ well you can imagine my excitement - so I am going to read it again ( I was only 11 when I read it the first time )

Despite what they may say, mothers have favorites among their children, and a new study finds that those preferences tend to continue into old age. The authors of the study suggest that doctors, hospital staff and family members need to take those preferences into account when decisions are made about caregiving and other matters for the aging parent.
"There's been a great deal of research done on younger mothers with young children in terms of favoritism," said Jill Suitor, a sociologist at Purdue University and one of the authors of the paper, published in the Journal of Marriage and Family. "It's very common for parents to differentiate between their children" with regard to punishment and feelings of closeness, she said.
Researchers know less about favoritism among older parents, however, so Suitor and her colleagues began a survey of several hundred families 15 years ago. They found that older parents also tend to favor some children over others. "If anything, perhaps it becomes more common," Suitor said. "It certainly doesn't become less common."
As part of their survey, the group asked women between ages 65 and 75 about their relationships with their children. About two-thirds said they were closer emotionally to one of their children than another, feelings that generally persisted seven years later when the researchers surveyed the women again.
At that point, four-fifths of mothers said they preferred one of their children as a caregiver. Mothers tended to prefer the child whom they saw as sharing their values and their perspective on the world, the group found.
In previous studies, Suitor and her colleagues have documented the negative consequences for elderly people when they can't be near the child they trust most, consequences that included an increased likelihood of depression following an illness or an injury.
There are also serious emotional consequences for adult children who feel excluded. Suitor hopes her group's work can help them cope with those feelings by recognizing that favoritism is normal.
She also said that when adult children are asked to name the sibling to whom their mother feels closest, they are correct less than half the time, so some of that sense of exclusion may be baseless.

WAKEFIELD -- In this segment of FOX UP's This Week in U.P. History, we go back to 2002 and remember some major flooding all across the Upper Peninsula.
On the week of April 14, 2002, a record meltdown made for one major mess and flood in the U.P. The problem was caused by heavy rainfall on top of an existing snow pack, followed by record warm temperatures. Rivers everywhere in the U.P. began spilling over their banks.
Runoff from the south branch of the Ontonagon River caused road closures, and areas all along Wakefield M-28 and US-2 were closed.
Michigan State Police rerouted all commercial and westbound traffic south on US-45 to Wisconsin.

Royal Baby Name: All bets are on!
As the due date for the Duchess of Cambridge approaches, the British betting establishments have gone into mad odds-shifting mode on every aspect of William and Kate's child including the royal baby name. They're taking bets on the future sovereign's hair color to future university and career choices and even which magazine will have the exclusive photos. But of course the main focus is on the baby's name–putting on the table some obvious, conventional royal ancestor options, and also some bizarre, outrageous outliers. Here, the bookmaker's top options for the royal baby name.

Interplay ended 2008 with no money
GI's dragged through an SEC filing to discover that Interplay finished 2008 with zero funds.
The firm ended last year with a cash balance of $0 and a deficit of approximately $2.4 million.
The publisher is actively seeking financing or income, without which it will be forced to liquidate assets, sell the company or face bankruptcy.
"We continue to seek external sources of funding," Interplay said, "including but not limited to, incurring debt, the selling of assets or securities, licensing of certain product rights in selected territories, selected distribution agreements, and/or other strategic transactions sufficient to provide short-term funding, and achieve our long-term strategic objectives."

A woman in Philadelphia has contracted West Nile virus, according to the Pennsylvania West Nile Virus Control Program.
This woman is the fifth human case of West Nile virus reported in 2013, including one woman in Delaware County reported Sept. 4, two men in York County reported in August and one man in Montgomery County reported in August.
Humans can contract West Nile encephalitis, an infection that can result in an inflammation of the brain from infected mosquitoes. In rare instances, humans afflicted with the West Nile Virus have died, but none have so far this summer. Last summer, there were 60 reported human cases of West Nile virus in Pennsylvania, four of which were fatal, according to statistics on the West Nile Virus Control Program website.
People can have a mild case of West Nile and not realize it. Mild symptoms, according to thePennsylvania West Nile Virus Control Program, include:
Body Aches
Occasional Skin Rash
Occasional Swollen Lymph Glands
More severe symptoms include:
High Fever
Neck Stiffness
Muscle Weakness
Tips to eliminate standing water include:

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Coal Country Notes
Proved amount in place (total coal, million tonnes) |
21 176 |
Proved recoverable reserves (total coal, million tonnes) |
13 885 |
Production (total coal, million tonnes, 2005) |
35.0 |
Serbia has Europe's largest proven deposits of lignite. The Serbian WEC Member Committee reports that the proved amount of coal in place is over 21 billion tonnes, of which by far the greater part (97%) is lignite. Within the other ranks, 6 million out of the 27 million tonnes of bituminous coal in place (22%) is deemed to be recoverable, while the corresponding figures for sub-bituminous are 379 million out of 571 million (66%). The recovery factor attributed to the lignite reserves is also approximately 66%.
The pattern of Serbia's coal reserves is replicated in current production levels: lignite (all of which surface-mined) accounted for more than 98% of total output in 2005. Most of the lignite is used for electricity generation, with minor quantities being briquetted or directly consumed in the industrial and residential sectors.

The SpaceX Dragon capsule parachuted to a splash landing in the Pacific Ocean on the morning of May 31, having completed its mission of cargo delivery to the International Space Station (ISS).
The Dragon was the first privately operated craft to dock with the ISS, heralding the arrival of a newcomer to the game long dominated by national space agencies such as NASA and Russia's Roscosmos. SpaceX, based in Hawthorne, Calif., and helmed by PayPal co-founder Elon Musk, is in line to make 12 cargo runs to the station in the next few years under a $1.6-billion contract with NASA.
NASA and SpaceX reported that the capsule landed near its target splashdown point, about 900 kilometers off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. The Dragon will be hauled out of the ocean by recovery boats, ferried to dry land and unloaded. It contains hardware and cargo no longer needed on the ISS, as well as science experiments that had been carried out in the station's unique microgravity environment.
Absolutely wonderfull news, congratulations to all concerned.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisShows what can be done for as little as $1.3B with a smart dude at the helm. Note the Chinese can't touch Spacex's cost per kilo to orbit.
Too bad the stupid oil soaked SOB's in the White House can't see their way to finance a molten salt reactor startup like Flibe energy with the same amount of cash. I guess the old we develop it, hand it over to the Chinese, then buy it back from them, stupidity will have to work on that one as well. I'm surprised they haven't handed Spacex over to them as yet.
That's what we get voting in a US government run by lawyers as opposed to the Chinese one run by engineers.
Nope Obama/Chu's Big Oil bosses have them wasting $10's of billions duplicating Chinese and European efforts tweeking last centuries solar cell technology and about the same amount on fairytale carbon sequestering projects.
This is a scheme to funnel Billions of our tax dollars to billionaire and former owner of Paypal, Elon Musk:
Behind The Scheme To Privatize NASA Elon Musk, The Downey Connection & Google Owners
by Steve Zeltzer
I have to agree with Carlyle on this one...Excellent news..
I agree it's all thrilling and absolutely wonderful news, but to me it's deja vu all over again circa 1962. The real news behind the splashy splash-down pictures is the privatization of the space industry. It sure seems the private sector can deliver a payload just like the NASA boys did 50 years ago (is it really that long ago?), "fast and dirty," no exotic space planes needed, just a little entrepreneurship, a lot of bucks and a little Buck Rogers from a deep pocket. Who wants in on the inevitable IPO? Careful, you may well be burned like the Facebook chumps that bought into an over-subscribed offering. Just goes to show, the game is rigged; only the insiders make the big money.

This is the will of my 8x great grandfather, Richard Keats or Cates, (1648-1698), who lived at East Lulworth, about three miles from the famous Lulworth Cove, in Dorset. The spellings are idiosyncratic, not to say bizarre, and seem to be the direct transliteration of a strong Dorset accent.

If you are not familiar with the Dorset accent, this recitation of Thomas Hardy's "At Lulworth Cove a Century Back" will give you a good idea of how it sounds. The poem is about John Keats, who last set foot on English soil at Lulworth Cove in September 1820. He was on board a ship bound for Italy which was becalmed in the Channel and Keats and his friend, Joseph Severn, took the opportunity to go ashore. Keats told Severn it was "a part [of England] he already knew". This has led to speculation that the origins of the poet's family, which he deliberately obscured, may have been in that area of Dorset, where the Keats surname is common. How fascinating to think that John Keats might be my distant cousin.
Update: 10 January 2012
Unfortunately, You Tube have removed the video of Thomas Hardy's poem because the person who posted it on You Tube did not have the right to do so. You may therefore want to listen to this recording, made by the British Drama League during the 1930s, to get an idea of how the Dorset accent sounded.

The demands for a return to American Dream-style individual prosperity have been very prominent in the emerging "Occupy Our Homes" movement. This latest iteration of Occupy, dedicated to assisting those being evicted and foreclosed from their homes in forcibly keeping what is theirs, has been taking homes this winter in lieu of public places. This has been a welcome development, yielding an escalation in tactics, a path to direct populist communication, and a direct confrontation with the infallible institution of private property. But troubling signs of capitalist ideology have emerged in the rhetoric behind their actions. They desire nothing less than a return to the economic "normalcy" that the 1% has normatively determined: the American Dream for everyone. Everyone deserves to have an affordable home. Let's all go back to the 90s, when things were going so well for us economically.
The rhetoric of capitalism is ever present, to the extent that, even when we can clearly identify our discontent with the system, we largely mistake individuals as the culprits, instead of the ever-present ideology that enabled them to act and enabled you to participate. The target should not be the group of individuals that is preventing you from acting out your capitalist-reinforced vision of "normal" life — the American dream, as it were — but instead that dream itself, based on false premises and a distorted idea of the fully-realized existence. Don't bother with whatever oppressor is it today (is it Goldman Sachs? Perhaps Chase? If we don't have a named shiny office tower to march on, how will we actualize our discontent?). Bother with the institution of oppression itself — that is, capitalism — and its rhetoric and ideology that is imposed on you, even through your own social movements.

The voodoo Loa are interesting beings in that their relationships with their human worshipers are much more symbiotic than is typical of 'gods' – especially modern gods. While this normally isn't an issue, sometimes there is a case that deserves a little more attention.

The Ordo Hermeticus Octostium is just one of many 'mystical orders' that sprang up in the spiritualist craze of the previous decades. In general, they're no more or less problematical than Freemasons or Rosicrucians, but occasionally you'll find members of those sorts of groups who believe that 'with great power comes an obligation to further your own agenda'...

Sometimes life leaves us with a hurt or pain that lingers. A thorn in the side, as the Apostle Paul referred to his unnamed struggle. You may be facing loneliness, illness, weariness, fear, or a broken heart. God may seem silent or cruel.
We know that God can heal, but what about when He chooses not to? What about when God doesn't make life better the way you think he should? These are the types of questions Mary Ann Froehlich pursues in her new release Living with Thorns. Froehlich, music therapist and teacher, has worked in hospitals, schools, churches, and private practices. The examples she shares are from real life. The comfort and hope she offers is also real.
Below is a short exerpt from one of her chapters.
My days have passed, far otherwise than I had planned,
and every fiber of my heart is broken.
Job 17:11 TJB
After teaching her morning Bible study, Liz returned home to find a note left by her husband. He had packed his things and left. Liz never saw this coming; she was blindsided. She and her husband had been married twenty-five years, raised children,and been active in their church. Later she would learn that her husband had become involved with a female co-worker in his office.
Liz hoped for reconciliation, but her husband pursued a
divorce. During the first weeks of her initial shock, Liz experienced chest pains so severe that she went to the hospital. She thought that she was having a heart attack, but instead her heart was breaking.
Scientists recently have named this experience stress cardiomyopathy, or broken heart syndrome. The symptoms are similar to a heart attack but do not normally cause permanent damage. Older women are the majority of sufferers. Severe sadness and shock can create high levels of stress hormones, catecholamines, in our bloodstream, which may affect the heart. Patients have trouble breathing and feel intense pain.
Depression and loneliness have also been linked to heart disease. Different from cardiomyopathy, these extended experiences can have long-term effects. Suffering a broken heart is a true phenomenon, and it is centuries old.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the exiles of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:2-3 NIV)
Our Lord is the doctor of our souls. God knows us at our core because He created our fragile minds and bodies. Isaiah tells us that he came to heal the brokenhearted.
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners. (Isaiah 61:1NIV)
We may experience a broken heart through rejection or betrayal by a spouse, parent, or child. Our hearts may feel broken due to a traumatic loss. We grieve our own brokenness. This pain is the offering we lay on the altar: "My sacrifice is this broken spirit, you will not scorn this crushed and broken heart" (Psalm 51:17 TJB).
God understands and is tender with our broken hearts. He is the perfect parent who wraps His arms around us and never lets go as we weep.
Put your head on the chest of God and weep. -Nicole Johnson
