Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2013 (1671 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Today's TV column focuses on a pair of mega-millionaire moguls -- one real, and the other completely and over-the-top whimsically fictional.
What's interesting is that after watching both, you might have a hard time deciding which tycoon's tale is more bizarre and hard to believe.
Inventor and auto-industry pioneer Henry Ford is the subject of a new documentary on PBS's American Experience (Tuesday at 8 p.m., Prairie Public TV), while double-dealing oil driller J.R. Ewing (played by Larry Hagman) remains a focal point in the first few episodes of the revived and reshuffled prime-time soap Dallas (which has its second-season première Monday at 8 p.m. on Bravo).
After more than three decades in the pop-culture landscape, it's safe to say there's nothing J.R. could do to surprise anyone. What PBS's profile reveals about Ford, however, will probably shock most viewers who know him only as the guy who designed the Model T and basically invented the concept of assembly-line mass production.
Henry Ford, written and directed by filmmaker Sarah Colt, is a thoroughly captivating biography of a man who set out to create an automobile that average people could afford and ended up becoming one of the most controversial and misunderstood industrialists of the 20th century.
The product of a rural upbringing in 19th-century Michigan, Ford was a tinkerer who hated farm life and loved machinery of all kinds. At age 16, he left home to pursue his dream of working in the big city -- Detroit -- and spent a decade shuffling between factory jobs while developing skills as an expert machinist.
His early years in Detroit coincided with the dawn of the automobile age, and Ford was fascinated by horseless carriages, spending his off hours developing his own version -- a gas-powered vehicle he called the "quadricycle."
Driving the tiny contraption around town, Ford attracted a lot of attention and no small amount of scorn, but also sparked the interest of investors who helped him establish his first auto-building company. That effort failed, largely because his financial backers disagreed with Ford's idea that motorcars should not just be playthings for the wealthy but should be a transformative means of conveyance accessible to people of all income levels.
Ford's vision, of course, was proved right, when he started a second company and introduced the Model T in 1908. The fabric of American society was forever changed, not just by the Ford vehicle's affordability, but also by the manner in which Ford treated the people who built it -- paying them a higher wage than any other car manufacturer and making them shareholders in the company's success.
But as Henry Ford illustrates, the rapid accumulation of wealth and power changed Ford; in time, the rural-raised man of the people became an enigmatic bully who insisted on controlling every aspect of his workers' lives. As a boss, a business foe and a family man, Henry Ford eventually became something of a monster.
It's a fascinating tale, and very well told.
Less difficult to decipher and decidedly more reliable in terms of consistent evil intent is good ol' J.R. Ewing, who returns to prime time along with the rest of the South Fork clan in Season 2 of the surprisingly successful Dallas reboot.
Looking frail but still able to chew up the scenery in every scene he's in, Hagman -- who died last November after a lengthy battle with cancer -- is still the dark force that drives the new-age Dallas. According to media reports, the J.R. character will appear in the first half-dozen episodes of the new season, leading up to a big-impact exit that will do justice to the character and pay tribute to the actor who made him TV's most beloved bad guy.
As for the series, it's pretty much Dallas as usual -- good guy Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe) continuing his effort to transform Ewing Energies into an eco-friendly empire, with bad seed John Ross (Josh Henderson) using all the tricks his daddy taught him to make sure the whole thing blows up. It's campy, predictable, pleasantly mindless fun.
The younger generation may be the focus of the series, but until he's gone -- and probably forever after -- Dallas will continue to be powered by J.R.

Beauty Road Test: Combat Winter Dry Skin With FAB Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer
Does the cold weather make your face all dry and itchy? Never fear: First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer is here!
-Lucia Peters
I have pretty oily skin, so I'm usually wary about doing anything to it that might make it even shinier. That said, though, when the temperature starts to drop, my face often turns into a giant mess of itchy dryness. Ick! Definitely no fun.
Thank goodness for First Aid Beauty! I got the chance to road test their new Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer ($22, sephora.com and Sephora stores nationwide), and boy, am I glad I did. A riff on FAB's cult favorite Ultra Repair Cream, this spectacular new moisturizer is designed specifically for your face.
Read Beauty Road Test: Get Gorgeous Skin With The Body Shop's Tea Tree Collection
What's the magic ingredient? There's actually a few of them: Oatmeal relieves itching and soothes irritated skin, shea butter moisturizes and nourishes, avocado and meadowfoam seed oil softens and hydrates, and licorice root, feverfew, and white tea provide a big ol' boost of antioxidants.
I dabbed a little bit of the moisturizer onto my cheeks—the place my skin tends to dry out the most—right before bed and let it work its wonders overnight. And lo and behold, it's been helping to keep the dryness at bay. No itchiness equals one extremely happy writer! I'm definitely adding this one to my fall and winter beauty routine, and I highly recommend that you do, too.
Grab First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer exclusively at Sephora stores everywhere and online at sephora.com.

Topic: Tammy Neumann - Wonderful Wife & Mother
Tammy passed peacefully yesterday after battling with Cholangiocarcinoma for 19 months from the initial diagnosis. I was lucky enough to be with her when she passed, along with my daughter and a few other family members. In the end she likely had liver and kidney failure based on her advanced issues.
I had introduced her to the board back in November of 2007 as you can see by the original post: www.cholangiocarcinoma.org/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=1035
She was 47 years old.
Although she never visited this site itself, I would bring her stories of inspiration and hope from some of the long term survivors. It was always a source of inspiration and encouragement.
Her story is one of many, many comebacks and fighting up to the edge of death's door just to turn and run the other way. Her life itself has been an inspiration to those around her that were lucky enough to know her. Her stories have been captured on our family blog: http://tammyhealth.blogspot.com
After several complications including a blood infection, internal bleeding and lots of fevers she was bed ridden for the past few months. This really changed her outlook, recognizing that if she could not have the quality of life she wanted, she did not want to go on.
She knew what was coming and seemed to accept it with dignity and class. She would tell people that she would continue to get tired and then one day she would just go to sleep and never wake up again. Yesterday was that day.
She will be sadly missed. Our family is strong and I expect that we will be able to get through this somehow.
Feel free to light a candle: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/can … &gi=TN
Many blessings to all !

• anniversary •
Pronunciation: æn-ê-vêr-sêr-ri • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, Adjective
Meaning: The annual recurrence of the date of an important event in some previous year or the celebration thereof.
Notes: The person recommending today's Good Word is frustrated by the misuse of it. There is no 'six-month anniversary' of anything, since the meaning contains the sense of "annual". Also, if you want to be meticulously correct, we don't have 'five-year anniversaries', since anniversaries cover only one year apiece. We should say a much tidier 'fifth anniversary'. Since this word may be used as an adjective (anniversary celebration), it has an adverbial form: anniversarily, as in anniversarily celebrated.
In Play: Remember the actual meaning of the word when you use it in phrases like this: "AlphaDictionary celebrates its 10th anniversary this year (2004-2014)—a rather long existence for a website." Remember anniversaries occur once a year, no more, no less: "Marley celebrated the anniversary of his 25 years of service to the company by resigning."
Word History: Middle English copied anniversarie from French, which inherited it from Medieval Latin (dies) anniversaria "anniversary (day)". This developed from the feminine of the Classical Latin compound adjective anniversarius "returning yearly", based on the words annus "year" + versus, the past participle of vertere "to turn". Annus comes from a suffixed form of the Proto-Indo-European word at- "go": at-no. The result in Latin, annus, produced many words that English borrowed, such as annual, annuity, annals, not to mention words on -enni- such as millennium and biennial. Vertere comes from the same PIE root meaning "turn, twist" as English wreath, writhe and weird "twisted". (This month marks the first anniversary of the last Good Word suggestion from Don Andreatta: decadence.)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - An organized crime ring is breaking into cars throughout Florida, and now warnings are going out to car owners.
Locally, community organizations like the YMCA said they're reminding their members once again to remove valuable items from their cars in in parking lots.
When Channel 4 went to the parking lot of the Riverside YMCA, our cameras didn't have to look far to find valuables left in plain view, like a purse, and even a checkbook just sitting for the taking.
"Sometimes an opportunist might see something and have no intention, but might go ahead and grab it," said Nikos Westmoreland, of the YMCA. "So don't give them that opportunity."
Westmoreland said the YMCA reminds its patrons year-round about leaving items behind in a parked car.
Police say with the holidays approaching, the thieves are looking for fast money, day care centers, shopping centers, schools and health clubs.
"I've been here for a smash and grab," tennis player Kenny Wood said. "They just get what they need and go. Before we can get out here, the alarms going off and they go."
Wood said he saw a smash and grab robbery as it happened at the Riverside tennis court where he plays, in spite of a tennis match not far away.
"One lady had money and had $2,000 for a flight," Wood said. "It's a sad thing that it's out there in the open."
Tennis player Carrie Moore is heeding the advice.
"It's funny, actually. I hid it today under my towels and trunks," Moore said. "It's a good reminder not to do that."

|Peter Preston
Vital statistics
| Midshipman 1st class
Engineer's mate
|Born 2271
|Died 2285
Physical attributes
Midshipman 1st Class Peter Preston was an engineer's mate aboard the USS Enterprise during its Starfleet Academy training cruise in 2285. Preston was the nephew of Montgomery Scott , the youngest child of Scott's sister. According to his uncle he was "crazy to get to space".
That year, Preston met Admiral James Kirk during an inspection tour of the Enterprise. While inspecting engineering, Preston challenged Kirk's assessment of the ship, charging the admiral with being as blind as a Tiberian bat, if he could not see that the Enterprise was the pride of the fleet. Upon Preston's digression, Kirk noted that he was a "tiger".
Following an unprovoked attack by the USS Reliant, later determined to be led by Khan Noonien Singh , the Enterprise was severely damaged in the engineering section. Preston stayed at his post throughout the attack, even when the other trainees ran and saved one of his fellow crewman from being trapped under the isolation door. He died from burns he sustained while assisting other engineers evacuate an area being sealed by a radiation shield.

Hot 3-point shooting powers Luther past Central women
DECORAH—Luther College drilled 11 of 18 three-point goals, overwhelming the Central College women's basketball team 71-52 Wednesday night in an Iowa Conference clash.
The Norse hit 50 percent from long range in the first half and utilized a 9-0 surge to take a 29-22 lead at the break. Luther opened the second half with a 12-2 run to go up 17, and knocked down 5-of-6 shots behind the arc to maintain a double-digit lead the rest of the way.
"We threw the whole book at Luther defensively but they flat-out outworked us and knocked down shots," coach Mike Jacobsma said.
Dutch guard Kenzie Vander Molen (sophomore, Pella) hit 7-of-10 shots for a game-high 17 points. Guard Courtney Kelderman (junior, Pella) followed with six points. Guard Annie Sarcone (junior, Des Moines, Dowling Catholic HS) collected six rebounds and forward Nicole Strasko (senior, Roland, Roland-Story HS) had five boards.
Luther (13-9 overall, 5-6 conference) placed four players in double digits and shot 38.3 percent for the game. Central (10-12 overall, 3-8 conference) shot 34 percent, including 26.7 percent from long range, and committed 16 turnovers. The Norse held a 48-35 advantage on the glass.
"I was happy with only 16 turnovers but we've got to defend better than we did tonight and we've got to hit some shots when we get an opportunity," Jacobsma said. "We need to put a whole game together."
Central travels to Dubuque Saturday for a league women's-men's doubleheader with the University of Dubuque starting at 2 p.m. The Spartans are 15-7 overall with a 5-6 league mark after dropping a 70-58 decision at Buena Vista Wednesday. Dubuque was a 77-71 winner over Central Jan. 16.
Both contests can be heard on KRLS-FM (92.1) with Cory Houser calling the action. The broadcasts can also be accessed at www.kniakrls.com or www.central.edu/athletics.

GQ Honors Christie, Gandolfini in Year-End Issue
GQ magazine honors Gov. Chris Christie and the late James Gandolfini in its end of the year issue.
The magazine compares Gov. Chris Christie walking New Jersey's boardwalks after Superstorm Sandy to Charles de Gaulle's march down the Champs-Élysées during the liberation of France in naming Christie their "Boss of the Year" in its December issue while also honoring the late James Gandolfini as it's "Icon of the Year."
A trip to Ocean City's boardwalk last summer was cited by the mens magazine as an example of why GQ says Christie "might be the only politician in America who had a good 2013. The governor arrived for a half-hour walk but was mobbed for 90 minutes posing for pictures, hugging 38 women and 11 men, kissing 9 babies, turning down offers of food and staying in the same spot for 90 minutes.
A boss with a shoulder to cry on, fighting for federal dollars following Sandy and "a lone voice of reason in an increasingly insane GOP" are what makes him a "happy warrior" to GQ, in its "Men of the Year" issue with Justin Timberlake on the cover with honors for Matthew McConaughey, Will Ferrell, "Breaking Bad," Michael B. Jordan and the late James Gandolfini.
The story also calls Christie "the only politician in America who has mastered the art of the selfie" and recalls him helping a nervous husband take a picture of Christie and his wife. Here, give me that," Christie said, taking the phone from him and draping is arm around her and snapping the selfie. You've messed this up already! We're taking care of it ourselves, you see? You're fired!" he joked.
Icon of the Year
GQ honors Gandolfini as its "Icon of the Year" and talks to Pittsburgh watchmaker Michael Kobold, a watch maker who says he was the "Sopranos" star's best friend. Kobold says when the HBO series ended Gandolfini wanted to get away from his character of Tony Soprano and "not be that guy." They found a connection in watches: "I make them; he loved collecting them," said Kobold.
They struck up a friendship that found Gandolfini designing a watch to fit his oversized wrist and not allowing him to return to Pittsburgh until he agreed to break up with a girlfriend he was going to propose to.
Kobold acted as a family spokesman in Rome in the days after Gandolfini's death. He talks about how he cleaned up Gandolfini's room and arranged for a private plane to fly his body to the United States. "If you have a choice in the matter, don't die overseas. Dying abroad is complicated. And dying in Italy, where the red tape is always knotted, is infinitely more so."
After press conferences and meetings it struck him that his best friend had died. "My good friend, one of the greatest influences on my life, was gone, and he wasn't coming back," mused Kobald.

We've all heard of New York style, Chicago deep dish, authentic Neapolitan. But the small town of Old Forge, Pennsylvania has a pizza style all its own. My mom grew up near Old Forge (in Scranton, now famous thanks to The Office) and last weekend while visiting family, we had to get our pizza fix.
Several pizza joints line the town's main street, all serving variations of the distinctive rectangular pies known as Old Forge pizza. They're ordered by "tray" or "cut" (cut = a large rectangular slice, tray = 12 cuts). The not-quite-deep-dish crust has a wonderfully crisp exterior, almost biscuit-like. There's a generous amount of oozy cheese on every pie, especially the stuffed "double crust" ones.
Though I do love the white pizzas—the double-crust white with broccoli (above) is garlicky deliciousness—what I crave most about Old Forge pies is the flavorful, onion-flecked tomato sauce. I could eat jars of the stuff.
It's a bit ambitious for a tiny Pennsylvania town to call itself the Pizza Capital of the World (the sign above is one of many), but it's definitely worth a road trip for pizza fanatics. Check out Facebook's Old Forge Pizza group: Over 10,000 fans and counting.
If this gets you craving pizza, make some at home with one of Cooking Channel's many pizza recipes. Make David Rocco's Nonna Giulia's Pizza Dough and get creative with your own toppings. Embrace grilling season with Grilled Eggplant Pizza, or go classic Italian and make traditional Pizza Margherita. Inspired by that double-crust white pie? Try Mario Batali's version, Pizza Rustica from Puglia.
What's your regional pizza style of choice?

In Central Pennsylvania, tailgating at a Penn State game starts long before the game kicks off in the afternoon.
In this recipe, pork, apples, and sweet potatoes complement each other perfectly plus they all are raised or grown in abundance in Oklahoma. These burgers are as delicious as they are unusual.
This burger utilizes the fruit of the Texas State Tree; the Pecan Tree. This burger is unique in its combination of savory and sweet but will soon be a family favorite.
A favorite sandwich sold at a local food store
Spam has always been a fun meat (?) in my life. I wanted to do something different and out of the box.
The spam really shines as a "breading".
Pork, spam, anise and apple = Amazing.
This burger has become a family favoriate. Who would have thought that you could have a great tasting burger and eat your fruit at the same time.

The Yarmuclaus
I hope that Seth Cohen is getting his due here. This is very fun and I can think of many people who would love to decorate their heads with a Yarmuclaus this December.
I guess if you have a Hanukkah bush, you can use these??? Uummm, I'll have to buy these for my sister. We don't think Hanukkah Harry puts presents under our invisible bush.Tags: Beautiful!, hanukkah, holiday decorating, judaism, jewish, judaica, interfaith, chrismukkah, deck itAdded 10 Years Ago from Crate and Barrel

Janet, Greetings from Kerala, India...thanks a bunch for hopping over and for the lovely inspiring thought and for the follow.

Thank you so much. It's delicious.Delete
I was wondering if there was a substitute for the tiramisu syrup? That is a gorgeous cake!Replies
Most recipes call for 1 1/2 cups espresso mixed with 2 teaspoons of dark rum. That's an option.Delete

Hi, thanks for the recipe. How long in advance can you make the cake and arrange it?ReplyDeleteReplies
Two days works really well for the flavors to blend. The lady fingers around the sides will begin to soften, but that makes it easier to slice.Delete

Wow!!! That cake looks fan fabulous and you've motivated me to attempt making this for my hubby's bday. Thank you so much for the great instructions:)ReplyDeleteReplies
you are so welcome. I hope your husband loves it.Delete
Your cake looks lovely, I made a similar cake with strawberries and strawberry mousse for a special occasion a few years ago, with the lady fingers and also the ribbon! I have been looking for a recipe for an elegant tiramisu cake and yours seem to fit the bill, I just have one question. The egg yolks are uncooked when added to the cream and mascarpone mixture, wouldn't salmonella be an issue if the case? I am a bit leery because of the raw yolks as I will be baking this for an order.ReplyDeleteReplies
If you are concerned you can definitely omit the egg yolks.Delete
Thanks so much Janet!! I am going to give this a go for my own birthday party next weekend. I really appreciate the effort you have gone to with the individual step by step photos, it is very much appreciated!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Happy Birthday! You will love this cake. I usually bake my own birthday cake as well. After all, we deserve the best. Thank you for your kind comment.Delete
Hi! This is simply beautiful. Are there any replacements available for the tiramisu syrup??ReplyDeleteReplies
You could substitute with a traditional soaking solution of 1 1/2 cups espresso mixed with 2 teaspoons of dark rum. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by.Delete
So there aren't any non-alcoholic substitutes?Delete
The only thing I can think of is to make a simple syrup with 1/2 cup sugar to 1 cup water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat then add rum and/or coffee flavoring. I hope this helps.Delete
This cake looks remarkable. I would love to try making it, but I am also concerned about the raw egg yolk. Could you cook the egg yolk with the sugar in a double broiler on a low heat first?ReplyDelete
wao..didn't know that this kind of cake exist lol.. but its awsum..n u showed each n every step ... simply loved it..ReplyDelete

What icing tip did you use?ReplyDeleteReplies
I used a large Aztec tip #828. I hope that helps. Any large star tip would work.Delete
Very well done! Thank you! A few notes as I am in the middle of the recipe as we speak. I found the marscapone/cream to be too loose initially. I disregarded your warning not to overmix and ran it through the kitchenaid on high with a wire whip and it set up fine for me with no texture issues. Not sure if the fact that I am at sea level had anything to do with it. Also the filling seemed not quite sweet enough so I added about 1/4 c of powdered sugar which also helped with consistency.ReplyDelete
When mixing the cake batter I goofed and used anise extract 1/4 t by mistake instead of almond. We'll see how that goes over. Also, is the salt omitted from the recipe steps?Replies
Well done. thank you for your notes this really helps other bakers. Merry Christmas.Delete

Hi JanetReplyDelete
I absolutely love every bit of making this. The sponge colors, the lightness handling them etc. Beautiful, and delicate. However, how do you know when the cake is done? Mine never seems to pull away from the sides (I've experimented few times). Also, my flour almost always does not incorporate properly - little tiny balls of flour here and there.
Any suggestions?
You can tell if the cake is done by gently pressing on the top of the cake. If the cake springs back up, it's done. I have had the same problem with bits of flour left in the batter. Try adding more flour at a time or add all of the flour at once and let's see if that helps. It is a very thin batter. If there are just a few lumps left in the batter, they should dissolve during baking time. Let me know if this helps. I hope it does.Delete
- Anonymous4/6/13, 8:06 PM
I have made a batch and found that by adding the flour in 2-3 (I did with 2) batches, it helps. The cake is very soft and delicate. Love it! Also, the frosting doesn't hold well in warm weather so I added some gelatine mixture to the cream AND work the frosting at night helps if you're from a warm weather climate :)ReplyDelete
By the way, I have one more question. Promise it'll be the last :) How do you suggest if I want to turn this into a chocolate sponge cake?
You can ask me as many questions as you want. I love getting them. I'm not sure about the chocolate sponge. I would add 1/4 cup cocoa powder. I think I would add it with the egg yolks. Let me know if that works. You sound like an experience baker. Keep it up.ReplyDelete
Hi! I really want to make this for my friend's birthday and your cake looks so beautiful in the pictures. I was wondering how long did it took for you to make the whole cake?ReplyDeleteReplies
This can be time consuming. I usually bake my cake in advance and freeze it. It's best made a day before serving so the flavors can marry and it tastes so much better. I would say if you were to make it in one day it would be a at least four hours due to baking time and cooling time. Good luck. It's so delicious.Delete
- Anonymous6/3/13, 7:24 AM
Hi Janet, just wondering. Is your grandma's spongecake the dry type or the 'wet', velvety type? Which one is better?ReplyDelete
And one more thing, did you simply eyeball on how much filling to put as layers and how much to put to ice the whole cake? Cos most of the time, the recipes I follow, I end up making another batch.. LOL
I'm not quite sure what you mean by wet or dry. It's similar to an angel food cake. It's not dry...it's...spongy. Yes I just eyeballed the amount. I just spread about 1/2-inch thick layer. I hope this helps. The lady fingers around the cake are dry and hard, but after sitting overnight they soften up.Delete
Delicious! !! The best cake I ever made, I tried many recipes before and nothing compared with this, absolutely the bestReplyDeleteReplies
Oh what great news!! I'm so happy you loved it. You are the one that made it delicious. Way to go!Delete

I absolutely love the look of this cake and need to make one for a birthday party. I am wondering if you have ever increased the quantities to make a larger cake?ReplyDeleteReplies
I have doubled this recipe before without any problems. Doubling the recipe will give you thicker 9-inch round cakes. Let me know if you have any more questions. Best of luck.Delete
- Anonymous11/19/13, 1:26 AM
Hi :) I was wondering if I could replace some of the boiling water for coffee to make it into more of a coffee cake. Do you think that's possible? And if it is, how much water do you recommend I replace? Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
I would think you could replace the entire 1/2 cup depending on how strong of a coffee flavor you want. You could do 1/4 cup coffee and 1/4 cup water. Let me know about your results and how strong you make it. I'm very curious. Good luck.Delete
What delicious ingredients. Thanks for an easy way to make this yummy dessert!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Rachel. I hope you try it someday. Thanks for stopping by xoxoDelete

Oh wow thank you so much Janet for posting this detailed recipe. Finally I have been able to make a sponge cake successfully thanks to you! I made the sponge tonight and refrigerated then will finish the rest tomorrow for tomorrow night's dessert. My husband cannot wait! Keep you posted..😀ReplyDeleteReplies
My fingers are crossed. I hope you love the cake.Delete
OMG! It is awesome! Only thing I altered is I added 2 tbsp kahlua to a cup of brewed coffee and soaked the cake with it instead of the tiramisu syrup. Also for the mascarpone frosting, I omitted the egg yolks because I didn't want it to smell of egg. I only beat the mascarpone cheese with confectioners sugar and 2 tbsp kahlua and folded in the whipped cream. Otherwise I love it and this goes to my favorites. Thanks!Delete

A conference that sets forth the scientific invalidity of the theory of evolution was held at the Palazzo Delle Stelline Hotel in the city of Milano in Italy on October 21st, 2010.
At the conference, which was shown great interest by the Italian press, Mr. Adnan Oktar saluted the Italian people through video-conference and talked about the fact that the theory of evolution is completely invalid scientifically and the troubles brought to the world by Darwinism.
The representatives of Harun Yahya who took part in the conference as spokesperson pointed out how the theory of evolution has been refuted with the findings of modern science and that Darwinism is merely a deceit, which is supported only for ideological purposes.
In the conference, the examples of "living fossils" were displayed for the attendants. The invitees who examined the million-year old fossils that belong to beings that still have living specimens personally witnessed that fact that living beings maintain their lives without getting changed, meaning without evolving, for millions of years.

PENSACOLA NAVAL AIR STATION, Fla. - The U.S. Navy has canceled the remainder of the elite Blue Angels demonstration team's 2013 season because of federal cuts.
The commander of Naval air forces announced the decision on Tuesday.
The federal budget cuts occurred because of the "sequestration" portion of an August 2011 agreement to raise the nation's debt ceiling.
The Blue Angels have performed at air shows around the world for more than 60 years. The fighter pilots selected to serve a two-year tour with the team are among the world's best and are often graduates of the Navy's famed Top Gun air tactics school.
A spokesman for the Navy said team members would be allowed to fly minimal hours to maintain flight proficiency in the F/A 18 fighter jets, but the six-jet squadron would discontinue group practices for the remainder of the season.
Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday released the following statement about the cancellation:
"The cancellation of the 2013 Blue Angels Air Show is a major blow to families and jobs in Pensacola and the nation. Families come from everywhere to enjoy the show and watch America's military might on display. These visitors fill area hotels, they eat at our restaurants and enjoy our beaches. The President missed a real opportunity to lead and help Florida families get back to work by making government more efficient and reducing spending in ways that make sense. In Florida, we continue to work to grow jobs for Florida families. Just last week, I was proud to be in Pensacola to announce that Navy Federal Credit Union will create more than 1,500 jobs for families in Northwest Florida – our largest economic announcement to date. In Florida, our plan to grow the economy is working, and we encourage Washington to follow our lead."

Pagan inspired by legacy Clemente left on PR
SAN FRANCISCO -- Roberto Clemente was well before Angel Pagan's time, but there is a link to the legend that keeps the greatest of all Puerto Rican ballplayers in the thoughts of the Giants' center fielder and leadoff man for Team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic.
"I never saw him play, but I've seen all the [video] and clips," Pagan said heading into Tuesday night's championship finale against the Dominican Republic. "He was my father-in-law's neighbor. He told me all about him. That's a big example, the legacy I want in baseball."
Pagan leads his team in the Classic through eight games with a .367 average, .500 slugging mark and .441 on-base percentage.
As a child growing up Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, taken by the Mets in the fourth round of the 1999 Draft out of high school, Pagan's role models were stars of a more recent vintage.
"I want to be the player kids follow, the way I did Robbie Alomar and Bernie Williams," Pagan said. "They were the type of players who made me what I am. We have a big responsibility to project for the young people in our country. We want to put Puerto Rico as high as we can."
Pagan, who starred for the Giants' 2012 World Series champions after coming to San Francisco from the Mets, was hoping to bring his homeland its first Classic title with a victory on his home field, AT&T Park. The Dominican Republic took close decisions in two earlier Classic engagements.
"Obviously, the Dominicans beat us twice," Pagan said. "But we're ready to win this game. We think we can beat anybody."
Puerto Rico manager Edwin Rodriguez has been liberal in praise of Pagan's leadership.
"Angel Pagan, he shows the intensity that the club has been performing [with] throughout the tournament, the commitment that the club has for the country," Rodriguez said. "And I think Angel Pagan represents all of that and the talent that the club has on the field.
"They call him `Crazy Horse' for a reason. He plays like that. He's always been playing like that. I was a scout back then when he was a player in high school, and he always been like that: very intense, a lot of passion for the game, respects the game. He respects the opposing team and he plays the game right. So he means a lot for the team."

Delete page or rewrite it in summary style
Ashok Kundapur has created a substantial Compendium of solar cooker designs. It was far too long for one page, so I split it up into multiple pages and created Template:Compendium TOC which I have put on each subpage. Now I'd like help or advice in two areas:
- Improving the TOC template. It'd be nice to have some space outside it (so things don't butt right up to it) for example.
- Deciding what to do with the Compendium of solar cooker designs page. Should I just redirect this to the Compendium/Introduction page, for example?
--Beth Ogilvie 18:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- On Wikipedia, Compendium of solar cooker designs would either be a summary or list article. I've added Template:Main (used {{Main|Parabolic Cookers}}) to Solar Cooking Wiki to facilitate the summary style. Also, look at the navigation box at the bottom of Wikipedia:Yosemite National Park for a third way articles are grouped. Please see Wikipedia:Template:National parks of the United States. It is similar to your Template:Compendium TOC.
- Putting articles in sub-directories is discouraged on Wikipedia. I wouldn't do it without a compelling reason. It may confuse the search engine. Try searching for Concentrator cookers, for example. Additionally, I should mention that the rough guideline on Wikipedia for article size is 32 kb excluding references, markup, etc. Walter Siegmund 19:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Now I've read Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Subpages I'm wondering why Wikia allows them in the article namespace, if they cause so much trouble. :-| I'll rename the subpages I've created. Re: article size, the wiki engine grumbles when we edit a page >32K, so we get a constant reminder of that. I've put a comment about the Main template on Forum:Main template. Thanks. --Beth Ogilvie 15:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- You needed another "Wikipedia:" in your link above (which I added). The first Wikipedia references the Wikipedia mainspace where the articles are. The second references the "Wikipedia" namespace where documentation, policy and guidelines reside. Other namespaces are "Image", "Template" and "Category".
- Don't take the 32kb grumbles very seriously. It is mostly a historical artifact when some browsers couldn't edit larger blocks and before section editing was implemented. However, many readers will not want to read an article a whole lot longer than 32kb, at least at one sitting. Many, many articles on Wikipedia are longer than 32kb. Still, it is still a useful target. Walter Siegmund 17:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- The above discussion was copied from Forum:Contents box Walter Siegmund 19:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Now I've read Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Subpages I'm wondering why Wikia allows them in the article namespace, if they cause so much trouble. :-| I'll rename the subpages I've created. Re: article size, the wiki engine grumbles when we edit a page >32K, so we get a constant reminder of that. I've put a comment about the Main template on Forum:Main template. Thanks. --Beth Ogilvie 15:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
This page is in transition and might be phased out altogether. The meat of the Compendium is accessible through the table of contents in the right hand box (which I will make more elegant after I learn how). Maybe this page should just have the introduction.--Beth Ogilvie
- I copied the Main template from Wikipedia just now. The practice on Wikipedia is to create subarticles when articles become too long and cumbersome to read and edit. The content under a heading is moved to the new subarticle and replaced by a brief summary. The Main template is used to link the subarticle to the original article and visa-versa. A Details template exists that was intended to link from the subarticle to the original, but most editors use Main for the references in both directions. I added Main to Frequently-asked questions so you could see its result and usage.[1] I don't think we have to use this template here, but I want you to know about it. Walter Siegmund
I'm resistant to using this template in the Compendium, since it seems to me it's designed for a structured set of articles where there is a top (main) article and a set of detailed articles. We'd used the Details template to refer from the main to the sub articles, and Main to refer back from the details to the main one. But in the Compendium, there aren't any details on the summary page, so "more details" doesn't fit, and "main article" (referring to the subarticles) doesn't seem to me to fit either. "See Xxx" seems to me quite adequate for the purpose. I could italicize it if that would make it more standard. I'm not wild about the indentation either, I'm afraid. I find it jarring. --Beth Ogilvie 15:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- In the Compendium, I would retain the original major headings and write a one or two sentence summary to replace the content each place that it was removed. The idea of the summary is to give the reader a better sense of the content so that s/he can decide whether to follow the link, or not. The way it stands, someone who with little knowlege, who sees the link "Parabolic reflectors", has to follow the link to learn what a parabola is and that it is difficult to fabricate such a reflector. The summary style posits that brief summaries to that effect are an aid to the reader. Often, the summary is the same or very similar to the opening paragraph of the subarticle, so they are little work to add. My $0.02. Best wishes, Walter Siegmund 17:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- The above discussion was copied from the article and from Forum:Main template Walter Siegmund 19:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have started the process Walter described above, adding a bit of content from some of the sub pages. I also copied Template:Details from Wikipedia to use on the summary page. I added Template:Main to each of the sub pages. This page could still use more work, e.g. little galleries to show typical box cookers and panel (concentrating light from above) cookers. Also the last few sections need summaries. And the whole Compendium needs Next and Previous links to facilitate linear digestion. --Beth Ogilvie 01:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
The layout with the summary next to images is both effective and attractive, I think. Walter Siegmund 17:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

You will notice that this Potato Gratin recipe has fewer ingredients than the Potato Casserole and I think it takes less time to prepare. I generally have all the ingredients on hand. It's a recipe that I can make last minute without having to have purchased special ingredients for the recipe.
The recipe calls for russett potatoes (I have used Yukon Gold), milk, heavy cream, white onion, garlic, Gruyere Cheese (Swiss cheese works as well), salt, white pepper, nutmeg.
Peel and cut potatoes. Not too small or they'll turn mushy.
You will need about 8 cups of chopped potatoes.
Put potatoes, milk and cream in a large pot.
Add chopped onions.
Add the chopped garlic.
Add the salt.
...and the white pepper.
Add some fresh grated nutmeg. Oh my! I LOVE fresh grated nutmeg. If you have never used freshly grated nutmeg, turn off your computer right now and go to the store and by "whole nutmeg". That stuff in a can doesn't compare.
Bring all of the ingredients to a simmer over medium heat.
Bring to a rolling simmer, stirring every now and then so the potatoes don't stick to the bottom of the pan because they will.
Simmer for 15 minutes. The starch in the potatoes will start to thicken the sauce. Remove from heat.
Spread half of the potatoe mixture in a buttered baking dish. Baking dish: Emile Henry from France. LOVE it!
Sprinkle half of the Gruyere cheese over the potatoes.
Spoon the remaining potato mixture over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle remaining cheese mixture on top. Place gratin in a 400 degree preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are bubbling and the cheese has started to brown.
Remove from oven.
I like to sprinkle the gratin with a bit of fresh parsely that has been chopped. I really like to garnish with fresh herbs. Besides brightening up a dish, it adds a fresh flavor.
Potato Gratin. I served this with pan seared halibut and a salad made of fresh spring greens. It was one delicious meal.
And the winner of my potato throwdown is...? The french potato gratin. Hands down. Was there any question in your mind which one I'd like the most? Please. Because I knew that I would be bias, I brought in two hungry young single adult males to taste my potato dishes. First they tried the "funeral potatoes" and agreed that they were pretty good. Brandon said, "wow, these are good and I've had some pretty raunchy funeral potatoes".
Then, the two polished off half of the potato gratin. No kidding. Ryan admitted that there was "no contest" between the two. Potatoes simmered in cream and Gruyere? How can you go wrong?
I'm anxious to hear your response. Try the potato throwdown. Go ahead bash me for my beliefs on funeral potatoes. I've been pursecuted for my beliefs on food before. It won't be a first.
Potato Gratin
8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup onion, sliced
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1 cup Gruyere cheese (can use Swiss cheese)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 4-quart baking dish and set aside. Bring potatoes, milk, cream, onion, garlic, salt, white pepper and nutmeg to a simmer. Simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes.
Layer half of the potatoes in the bottom of prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cream/milk sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and the cheese is beginning to brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parley, if desired.

Healthful food lowers stress
For anyone stressed out about holiday travel, there is some good news. Vegetarian diets can lower anxiety and stress, according to a recent study in Nutrition Journal.
As a registered dietitian who travels a lot, I know from my own experience that healthful food can improve mood. Next time I pack my carry-on, I'll include tasty, healthful snacks such as fresh berries, sliced pears and spiced pumpkin bread sweetened with maple syrup.
And, when I arrive, I'll enjoy healthful versions of the Southern foods my family loves. Cornbread and collard greens are just as tasty without the bacon. So pass the white bean and winter vegetable stew and relax.

At St. Lawrence Sajana was a Global Studies major with a concentration in African Studies and South Asian Studies. She received a minor in African Studies and graduated cum laude. Sajana declared her major in Global Studies at the end of her first year at SLU and learned the importance of planning ahead. Establishing her major early on allowed her to pave a clear path for her time at St. Lawrence and to develop very clear and obtainable academic and personal goals. Studying off campus was an integral part of her education, and she was fortunate enough to study on the Kenya Semester Program and the NYSICCSI program in India. The most valuable component of the Kenya Program was her Independent Study with Mathare Youth Sports Association, MYSA. This organization reaches out to youth in one of Nairobi's largest informal settlements through sports and the arts. From her experiences with MYSA she was able to narrow down her academic interests and establish a topic for her GS honors thesis. Sajana received the Fred Kahrs award and a research grant through the Center for International and Intercultural Studies to return to Kenya as a junior. She attended the World Social Forum in Nairobi, and began research towards her Global Studies honor thesis tilted: The Plight of Underprivileged Girls: Reevaluating Gender Inequalities through Grassroots Initiatives in Kenya and North India. She continued her research senior year while studying in India and held leadership roles in SLU Oxfam and Amnesty International.

The spring season has emerged as the best time to tempt buyers and sell property, but the results of the federal election in September could have a big effect as well.
Data released by the Real Estate Institute of NSW (REINSW) has revealed that the best auction clearance rates for 2012 were recorded during September.
According to sales results reported to the REINSW and real estate website propertydata .com.au, there were 20,037 auctions in NSW in 2012, with an average clearance rate of 62 per cent, and the total value of all properties sold reached almost $8 billion.
April and September had the highest number of auctions, with 2241 in April and 2233, respectively, with a clearance rate of 62 per cent, which would have been aided by the government's decision to cut first-home buyer incentives for existing property from October 1, 2012.
Conversely, the worst time of year to sell property was found to be the holiday months of December and January, with the total number of auctions in January dropping to just 217 and December having 1,110 auctions, with a clearance rate of 61 per cent.
However, rather than being a true indicator of the performance of the market overall, the slower activity of these months is attributed more to seasonally recurring patterns, with most buyers busy enjoying themselves during the festive season instead of house hunting.
A recent update from the REINSW highlighted the fact that spring is a time of renewal in the property industry. The warmer weather means people can show off the positive aspects of their homes at a time when many buyers are ready to pound the pavement to look for a new place to live.
But 2013 could pose a different story, with the federal election due to take place on September 14.
Historically, buyers and sellers have preferred to wait for the outcome of elections before making important decisions, meaning there is a likelihood of subdued market activity running up to election day.
While consumers are likely to hedge their bets and wait for the outcome in early spring, clearance rates could potentially rise in the months after the election.
Either way, spring 2013 may well see new occupants in The Lodge, even though the property is ''Not for sale''!

FULLERTON, Calif. – Taking to the road for the second time in over a month, the NAIA's 22nd ranked Lady Mustangs (9-1-2; 4-0 GSAC) squared off against Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) rival Hope International (5-6-1; 0-4 GSAC) in a Saturday afternoon matinee. The conference showdown pitted the mentality of "all to gain" against "nothing to lose" as the Lady Mustangs entered the match looking to maintain a five game winning streak, while the Royals sought to snap their four game losing streak.
Seven minutes into the match, TMC's senior defender Kristyn Richards (Lancaster, CA) drew first blood for the Mustangs when the senior midfielder scored her second goal of the year with an assist by Danielle Hollinger (Agua Dulce, CA).
Three minutes before halftime, the TMC squad stretched their lead to 2-0 as junior midfielder Jasmine Benson (Corona, CA) bested HIU goalie Sofia Pacino. Benson's goal was the fourth of her sophomore campaign with the Mustangs.
With less than three minutes left in the game, Mustang midfielder Devon Goff broke a silent second half and shattered the Royal's hope for an upset. Launching a header into the Royal's net, assisted by Shea Richards, Goff not only put the Mustangs up 3-0, but also scored her second goal of the season.
The Lady Mustangs' offensive onslaught continued when Rachel Myers (Auburn, CA) notched her third goal of the season, assisted by freshman stand-out Tara Struiksma (Ontario, CA), and put the game on ice two minutes before the end of regulation play.
The TMC offensive effort spearheaded the way for the 4-0 victory, outshooting the Royals 15-3 and 9-0 in shots on goal. Not to be outdone, however, the Mustangs' defense helped anchor the win as goalkeeper Ilyssa Espiritu (Bakersfield, CA) blocked three goals.
Commenting on the Mustang's victory, head coach Curtis Lewis states "It was fantastic to get four different people on the score sheet today. The girls came out and put a full game together. We now have a massive game on Tuesday against a very strong Vanguard team."
The Mustangs' ninth win of the season gives them a comfortable seat at the top of the GSAC, tied for the lead with #11 Vanguard University. The showdown will occur on Tuesday, October 9th, at 3:00 PM on Reese Field, when the two teams will attempt to break the first-place conference tie.

I am, as you will see, truly insane. Warning: I'm not sure if this condition is contagious. It may be. We'll find out together.
Warning: Out of date; I now use a script which makes this simplier
My requirements (or: why I do this)
Much of what I need was actually the reason I started creating geoqo in the first place. I wanted to do things I doubt anything could handle (and if it did, I'm sure it didn't run natively on linux which I use the most).
Output Needs: Where my data ends up
One of the issues is that I have multiple places where my caching data goes to:
- My Garmin Etrex Vista (B/W)
- limit of 1000 waypoints (ARG!!!)
- I don't want anything in it but geocaches because of the limited memory size
- My TomTom Palm Application
- this requires each Point of Interest to be in individual files
- I have a lot of memory in this, so I want everything in it (including waymarking data points)
- My CacheMate database
- This needs everything but I separate out different regions into different files
- My GeoNiche program
- I rarely use it, but when I'm with people without a GPS I do.
- Also can take everything on my palm card, but I do it in different regions to keep the "current" memory footprint small.
All of the above requirements makes me do some insane things.
Input Sources
- geocaches
- extra waypoints for geocaches (parking, trail heads, multi-steps)
- waymarking (wifi hot spots alone is worth it)
- geodining? (soon)
- my own data points (home, etc)
My export process
To get everything out in the list I have at the start of this page, I use a script. The script does various different types of searches followed by various different types of output to different files, etc.
The script
It's big. It's long. But it has comments.
##################### garmin #################### # # first search to include recent PQs but limit by my "findable" # criteria # %search (set:import:near me||set:import:fairfield) &&mem:findable %display count:Findable Geocaches : # # export it to a garmin compatible file (.loc) # %export mem:garmin,prefix=nearme #################### geoniche ################## # # export to geoniche... similar to that of garmin # %export mem:geoniche,prefix=nearme ##################### tomtom #################### # # find all stuff in recent PQs and is findable # # geocaches %search (set:import:near me||set:import:fairfield) &&mem:findable %export mem:palm-geocaches # all extra waypoints in the extra wayspoints set %search (set:import:near me:waypoints||set:import:fairfield:waypoints) %export mem:palm-extra-points %display count:Extra Waypoints : # all waymarks (I don't have that many loaded) %search waypoint:type==Waymark %export mem:waymarking %display count:Waymarks : #################### cachemate ################## # # cachemate is similar, but I also want: # - all caches (including unsolved) # - waymarks %search (set:import:near me||set:import:fairfield) ||waypoint:type=Waymark %export mem:cachemate %display count:Total Cachemate :
I can then call this script like:
geoqo -x all
The scripts callable sub-pieces
As you can see, the above script calls a number of mem: modules in order to achieve it's goal. I do this rather than putting the data in the script directly so that I can do pieces of the script by hand on the command line instead if I need it. (ie, if I want just my garmin data for some reason I can run:
geoqo -s "set:import:near me&&mem:findable" -e mem:garmin
Without having to run the rest of the script.
Below are the breakdown of the other mem components in the above script.
This mem file (stored in $HOME/.geoqo/mem/search/findable) limits a search to just findable geocaches (IE, it ignores puzzles that haven't been solved or marked as "infield" (ie, it's an offset not a puzzle to solve ahead of time):
( # only geocaches where the subtype is not "Unknown" (IE, exclude puzzles) # or the puzn (north puzzle answer) attribute is set: (I've solved it) # or unless the "infield" attribute is set (it's a offset puz) (cache:subtype<>Unknown ||attr:puzn<=>0 ||attr:infield=1) # but restrict the above results to exclude events &&cache:subtype<>Event # exclude things that I've found (marked with the found attribute) # found=- means the attribute doesn't exist # found=0 means it exists, but is 0 (so I've explicitly marked it not found) &&(attr:found=-||attr:found==0) )
My garmin mem: file (stored in $HOME/.geoqo/mem/export/garmin) knows how to export to just what I want for my garmin including how to change all my symbols to something that indicates what type of cache it is. A screenshot can be seen on this page.
# change the GC prefix to diff/terrain ratings gctodiff: # drop anything not a geocache (normally shouldn't be needed if the search wasn't already just caches) +drop:type<>Geocache # replace puzzle coordinates with stored puzn/puzw attributes +solved: # change the symbols to things that look kinda like the caches I'm searching for. The symbols were picked by looking at my garmin symbol list. On my dad's garmin, they don't look as good... pick your own that make sense. +symbol: subtype=Multi-cache=Fitness Center, subtype=Unknown Cache=Information, subtype=Webcam Cache=Shower, groundspeak_container=Micro=Cemetery, groundspeak_container=Small=Tunnel, groundspeak_container=Large=Geocache Found, subtype=Virtual Cache=Ultralight Area # store results in a .loc file with an optional settable filename prefix or "garmin" if not otherwise specified. +loc:%[prefix/garmin].loc
Similar to garmin, but with a couple of tweaks:
gctodiff: +solved: # this rewrites the desc field to be longer to include the GCidentifier (modified to include difficulty/terrain) and cache subtype in the name so when I click on it the name will be as descriptive as possible. +rewrite:desc=%{newident}/%{4:subtype}: %{groundspeak_name} # calls GPS babel on a created .loc file +system:cmd=gpsbabel -i geo -f %{file:loc} -o geoniche -F %[prefix/geoniche]-gn.pdb
This is by far one of the most complex things I do. That's because the tomtom export files must have each POI in separate files, which is a real pain. The result is that I create a looootttt of files so that each cache type ends up in their own file with a different icon. I won't go through it completely here, but it functionally boils down to pieces like this:
#################### micros #################### # drop anything that isn't a geocache # or isn't a traditional cache only:type=Geocache,subtype=Traditional Cache,groundspeak_container=Micro # replace the GC prefix with a difficulty/terrain rating. +gctodiff: # Rewrite the description field to include the identifier and cache # type in the description field (becomes: "GC1234/Trad: description") +rewrite:desc=%{newident}/%{4:subtype}: %{groundspeak_name} # finally, write out the contents to a .ov2 file with a suffix # Note: I could use the same 'size' option name as above, but I use # two different names for flexibility. +system:cmd=gpsbabel -i geo -f %{file:loc} -o tomtom -F geocaches-micro.ov2
#################### small #################### # drop anything that isn't a geocache # or isn't a traditional cache only:type=Geocache,subtype=Traditional Cache,groundspeak_container=Small # replace the GC prefix with a difficulty/terrain rating. +gctodiff: # Rewrite the description field to include the identifier and cache # type in the description field (becomes: "GC1234/Trad: description") +rewrite:desc=%{newident}/%{4:subtype}: %{groundspeak_name} # finally, write out the contents to a .ov2 file with a suffix # Note: I could use the same 'size' option name as above, but I use # two different names for flexibility. +system:cmd=gpsbabel -i geo -f %{file:loc} -o tomtom -F geocaches-small.ov2
The above exports micros and smalls to different tomtom.ov2 files. I actually do this using a bunch of repeatable mem: files, but it's expanded above for your reading enjoyment.
To ensure I don't miss anything with my specific filters, I have a "catch all" that catches anything not included by the "only:" filters above:
# # traditional caches: all others (includes unspecified or future new sizes) # # only keep traditional geocaches, but drop anything we did above ;only:type=Geocache +only:subtype=Traditional Cache +drop:groundspeak_container=Large +drop:groundspeak_container=Small +drop:groundspeak_container=Micro +gctodiff: +rewrite:desc=%{newident}/%{4:subtype}: %{groundspeak_name} +system:cmd=gpsbabel -i geo -f %{file:loc} -o tomtom -F geocaches-regular.ov2
The final results of all of this are a whole bunch of files and growing. I'm slowly creating .ov2 files for a bunch of interesting waymarking.com data as well (water fountains being one, since my son lives for them). The results of what my tomtom screen looks like can be seen on the screenshots page.
Finally, I put just about everything in cachemate including unsolved puzzles (so, you know, I can solve them!):
solved: +system:cmd=cmconvert -S -B -O -C -d -D -N 25 -o %[prefix/cachemate].pdb %{file:gpx}
The results!
After all that pain, I'm rewarded with many files to put on many devices: (unix file list...)

COUNCIL chiefs in Worcestershire are pleading for a second runway at Birmingham Airport - revealing they are "dismayed" about suggestions it should be delayed.
The county council's Tory group says millions pounds of new investment, jobs and growth in Worcestershire would be unlocked if the airport expanded.
It has hit out at the Airports Commission, which says the second runway should be put back until at least 2050, saying the stance is one the council "does not understand or concur with".
The council has also raised the stakes in the long-running saga by saying town halls across the region agree with Worcestershire.
It is extremely rare for politicians in the county to get involved in issues outside the county - much less be so outspoken about it.
A vote is taking place at a full council meeting on Thursday, and if backed by a majority of politicians will see leader Councillor Adrian Hardman write to transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin.
He will also write to the Airports Commission, which has taken the stance that Government investment needs to be centred on Heathrow rather than Birmingham.
Tory Councillor Marc Bayliss, an economist and one of four politicians to put his name to a Notice of Motion, said: "We had a discussion about it in the group because this airport is a key link to the whole of the Midlands.
"From a Worcestershire perspective it would open up the county to new markets and allow for much more extensive opportunities for international trade.
"They keep on arguing about airport capacity in London but we need to grow the rest of the UK, and this is a great chance to do that.
"The UK isn't London, it's much more than that. If we could get a second runway at Birmingham Airport, combined with the HS2 (high speed rail link) it would create great links."
The motion says council is "dismayed" by the commission's view, calling a second runway "vital" for improving Worcestershire's economy.
It calls for the commission to "look again at the huge economic potential" for expanding the site, saying the benefits to Worcestershire would be huge.
Last month the commission recommended to the Government that airports at Gatwick and Heathrow get expanded instead.
Business leaders in the region have branded it "illogical", including the Chamber of Commerce, but the commission insists the South East should remain the focus.
When the proposals were first unveiled last June, chief executive Paul Kehoe said it would make Birmingham Airport the same size as Heathrow now, taking up to 70 million passengers yearly.

Forums: Index > The Wizengamot > Why didn't they?
In first year, Hermione used "Petrificus Totalus" on Neville Longbottom to prevent him from stopping Harry while he was saving the Philosopher's Stone. Why didn't she use Petrificus Totalus on Lupin when he turned into a werewolf in POA? Why didn't she use it on Pettigrew while he was running away? There are many examples of places Petrificus Totalus could have made things easier for the trio, so... why didn't they use it?
- Please note this is not a general discussion forum, it is used for issues pertaining to the wiki. Also, sign your posts. There is no evidence that such a spell would work on a werewolf, also in the text everything happens for a reason, thinking of ways they could have had a better outcome from a bad situation is doing JKR a disservice. Every action matters in the shaping of our Heroes, if Sirius had been freed and survived, would Harry have been strong enough to sacrifice himself in the end? Dumbledore himself says that the consequences of actions are so varied and complex, that it is impossible to know what would have happened if they had acted differently. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 16:32, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Cultural Attitudes Toward Photography
Photography is everywhere, but that doesn't mean that we are always comfortable with it. Imagine a stranger coming up to you on the street and asking to take your photograph. What would you say? I've noticed something interesting about the photographs that I've taken in Rwanda: few of them include people. Those that do are often of schoolchildren or of people I've photographed from behind while walking on a sidewalk. It only took me a few days in this country to sense that the culture here is very reserved and private. Requests I've made to take a photo are not met with bashful smiles and giggles, but sometimes an unapologetic "No." Allowing your photograph to be taken seems to be a sensitive subject. As a result, I have become somewhat camera-shy—not in the traditional sense of being embarrassed to have my photo taken, but afraid to accidentally offend someone by taking their photo.
Which is why it was important that I met this morning with the parents of the teenagers that will participate in our first photography class in Rwanda. We will loan cameras to the youth in this class and ask them to take photographs in their homes and communities of the people, places, and activities that are most important to them. These students are patients at an HIV/AIDS clinic, and one of the goals of this photography program is to help them expand and express their senses of identity beyond their HIV status. They will become the photographers of their own lives and their families will have to adapt to the new presence of a camera in their homes.
But I was surprisingly pleased to see that all the parents were not only receptive to this idea and happy to have their children participate, but even inquired about whether additional photography classes would be offered after this first one concludes. It seems that our students' parents are warmly open to the goals of our photography program. Far from having a stranger taking photographs in their homes, this will be an opportunity to see their world through their children's eyes.
