A while back, I posted a photo to Facebook of homemade Lemon Vanilla Pound Cake (recipe from Ina Garten's "Back to Basics" cookbook), fresh strawberries and my first-ever homemade whipped cream. I got many responses from my friends "oohing and ahing" over the dessert, but the one response I wasn't expecting was the plethora of "I make my own whipped cream all the time."
It seems everyone except me has been making fresh whipped cream forever. Now I know why. It's easy and it tastes so good. It's also less expensive than buying the canned version.
If you're one of the seemingly few people who has never made your own whipped cream, here's how to do it yourself:
- 8-ounce container of heavy whipping cream, organic or from a trusted dairy if possible
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla, optional
- Place a metal or glass bowl and the beaters you'll be using in the refrigerator for one hour or freezer for 20 minutes before making the whipped cream. According to one of my friends who went to culinary school, this isn't absolutely necessary. It does help get the job done faster and your whipped cream will be colder.
- Put the cream in the bowl and beat on medium speed until soft peaks begin to form.
- Add the sugar and vanilla (if using), and continue to beat until peaks are well formed and stay put when you take the beaters out of the bowl, but go no further. If you beat it any longer, you will start to make butter.
- Serve immediately or chill until needed.
- The sugar and vanilla aren't necessary, but if you're used to canned whipped cream, unsweetened will be a big change.
- The real test for this was my boys. They loved it. I rarely buy whipped cream because they tend to gravitate toward the can in the fridge and I find them shooting it in each other's mouths. (This takes care of that problem, too.)
- You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to whip cream. If you have neither of those, a good, cold wire whisk can be used, too, and your arm will get a good workout.

Jennifer Lopez's ex hubby says if someone has a sex tape of the famous singer and actress, it isn't him.
"My tape is from our honeymoon, the wedding, us hanging out. There's no nudity—maybe one spanking," Ojani Noa tells E! News. "There's moments of her fighting with her mom...couples having fun and kissing."
Noa, whose union with Lopez in 1997 lasted all of 10 months, cops to having tried to sell his footage in the past.
U.S. & World
But he says he's moving on with his life, even though the title of a film he's working on is "How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story."
Lopez has reportedly filed a $10 million lawsuit against Noa to keep the film from moving forward and tapes from their marriage private.
The singer and actress last sued Noa in 2007 to stop the release of a tell-all book of their relationship.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Environmental groups are lining up against Sen. Ron Wyden's bill to promote logging on federal forests in Western Oregon to help struggling timber counties.
Leaders from 10 national environmental groups, including the Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council, signed a letter urging members of the Senate to oppose the bill.
They say its measures to streamline environmental reviews threaten the foundations of laws like the Endangered Species Act.
Leaders of 21 Oregon conservation groups sent a similar letter to Wyden's fellow Oregon Democrat, Sen. Jeff Merkley.
Wyden spokesman Keith Chu says the bill has drawn opposition from interest groups on both sides of the issue, and the letters are not surprising in view of a committee hearing being held on the bill next week in Washington, D.C.

Sherlock's Daughter
NYC Artists on the rise: Sherlock's Daughter May residency at The Knit begins on May 9.
Sydney (Australia) to New York transplants Sherlock's Daughter are set to begin a month long residency at The Knitting Factory for the next four Monday nights in May. Their sound is a fascinating hybrid of delicate female lead vocals and somewhat unsettling instrumentation, leaning towards the droney and the dreamy. "Song For Old People" emphases a chanting chorus vocal style, with primitive thumping on tree-stump percussion, then building out with pulsing keyboard undercurrents. "Reprise" gives off lullaby sensations via the lead vocal, while presenting an unsettling backdrop of uncertain instrumental accompaniment. "In The End" focuses even further on the gentle qualities of the bands lead voice. "Love can't hurt us now" is a repeated lyric, as clackety percussion dances over top of deeper thumps and arpeggiated guitar patterns. An extended coda of rain and thunder sounds further establishes the intended mood. "Sons and Daughters" adds background vocals providing a call and response element found in early American spiritual folk music - however, droney guitar textures keep things very much rooted in the psych rock genre. The Knitting Factory shows are all ages and free to attend. - Dave Cromwell

Hi deadmandeadman,
I'm not sure that's how you spell "argh," but I'm just teasing. Actually, I've read your comments before, and I respect your writing. Sometimes I feel I spend too much time composing these comments and other times I rush them. In this case, I rushed--not that I'm apologizing. If you're a grammarian and I've offended thee, please enlighten me. I'm sure I can learn from you. Cheers, VFSD.

Yes! Good song ;-)
Typcially, there are amusing YouTube comments under it.
I'm more of a "listener" (than a watcher) anyway.

I like the song in that video.
Groovy ;)

"Fancy words" are what I DO, Mr. Smork ;-)
Glad to hear you like the sound of the band.
Yeah, most agree that video "idea" (which was to have *no* idea) is a one-trick, lets-not-try-this again sorta move.
Here's a really good live representation of them:

The fraternity of fly fishers
Since 1997
Hey Bob - just logging back on to FAOL and saw your message. So sorry to hear about your wife, I can only imagine how difficult it must be!
Good luck on your trip. I wish there was decent tail water fishing near here but I guess I didn't realize how lucky I was back in Cincy. The closest thing that I have to fly fishing is chasing bluegills around a muddy little farm pond...but at least I'm working on my casting form!
Take care with your travels, and I hope our paths cross sooner than later!
Hey Bob,
Thanks for the note - just figured out how to respond.
YES - of course I remember fishing with you - the Cumberland was a very impressive fishery! Right now I'm in Oklahoma where my wife accepted a teaching position at the University of Oklahoma, so I'm chasing Bluegill and bass around a local pond. But it's definitely better than not fishing at all. And those bluegill sure to pull!
Wow - sorry about your wife. I wish you both strength.
Regarding the F chord, forget them. I've been playing for 35 years and I still hate it. Just transpose it into a different key or use a capo to let you play different chords!
Good luck with everything, thanks for the note - it's great to hear from you again! And most of all, thank you for sharing your home waters with me - hopefully we can do it again!
Happy Birthday rst. Hope you have a splendid day. Jim

Sixty-five different parks over 118,000 acres is a lot of ground for a police department to cover, as the 64 officers of the East Bay Regional Park District must do.
Fortunately, they get help from the district's volunteer safety patrol, a group of more than 200 volunteers who roam East Bay parks throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties on horseback, foot or bicycles and even with canine companions.
"They're extra sets of eyes and ears for us," said Lt. Jon King, of the park police.
And often, he said, it's easier for the volunteers to educate park visitors.
"It's one thing for a police officer to be there like, 'You can't do this,' " King said. "It's another for a fellow cyclist to do that."
The volunteer safety patrol was built up around the need for more bike patrols and education as bicycling exploded in the late 1980s, said King, who helped develop the program after he joined the park police in 1985.
While a horseback mounted patrol already existed, officers felt a need to have bicyclists out there to "educate their own."
"It's kind of nice to be able to talk to other bicyclists," said Carl LaRue, a Hayward resident who is head of the bike safety patrol. "They have a tendency to listen better to (other) cyclists than to hikers — we have more of a connection with them."
A typical volunteer bike shift for LaRue is a couple hours at whichever park he wants — there is no set schedule, although volunteers are expected to check in with the police department to let them know they are going out to patrol.
Wearing his park district shirt while on patrol, LaRue is often flagged down by fellow cyclists, hikers or equestrians who may have questions or need direction. Sometimes, he has to remind visitors to follow park rules, such as keeping dogs on a leash or keeping their bikes off certain narrow trails. But as unsworn civilians, volunteers can't enforce the rules.
"We are diplomats, not police officers," said hiking patrol member and former park district media representative (and current columnist for this newspaper) Ned McKay. "We're supposed to be tactful in our interactions with the public."
Besides devoting eight hours a month to patrolling, which can include reporting misbehavior on the trail, noting hazardous trail conditions, and offering assistance and information to the public, safety patrol volunteers attend monthly meetings. The meetings provide volunteers with updated trail conditions and park guidelines and sometimes include guest speakers who cover everything from protocol for dealing with wildlife to bike maintenance for the bike patrol.
Volunteers are also expected to help out with one event hosted by the park district per year, such as the wildflower festival or various parades. To be a member of the safety patrol, potential members need to fill out an application and undergo a background check, said Heather Gilfillan, the district's volunteer coordinator. Hikers and bikers are required to attend a training conference and do a tryout to determine their ability to interact with the public and ensure they can ride a bike or change a flat tire.
But things get more complicated for volunteers who patrol with an animal companion — namely dogs and horses, said Dale Boehme, head of the mounted patrol.
Potential mounted volunteers need to undergo a daylong certification process with his wife, Barbara Boehme, who heads the certification program. Candidates — who must have their own horse and can only patrol with the horse they are certified with — ride along with mounted officers on trails to prove their horses won't get spooked by things blowing in the wind, dogs or other hazards.
The mounted patrol currently has about 50 teams (consisting of humans and their horses), who function much like the bicyclists and hikers on the trails. In addition to the mounted patrol, the canine patrol, and the bicyclist and hiker groups, the safety patrol had included a volunteer marine patrol to help marine officers in park district waters up until around 2008, when members dwindled and eventually dropped off. Now, however, interest has been renewed, and a new marine volunteer safety patrol group is in the works.
All the groups, said park district lieutenant King, are a huge help to officers in times of trouble. In addition to about 20 members from each group that serve on the volunteer search and rescue group, the police department makes use of the extra eyes and ears of the volunteers during rashes of burglaries or when, such as a recent case of a search for a lost autistic man who was separated from his family, officers need extra visibility.
Even while they take up more than 100,000 acres of land in the East Bay, parks can be a lower priority for city police departments, who may be quicker to send an officer to someone's house than to a situation at a park, King said. So it's helpful to have not just a police force dedicated to the regional park district but a full-fledged volunteer base to support them.
"They're force multipliers for us," King said. "They see things we don't see."

1966 Mustang Parts
After just launching the Mustang during the previous model year, Ford made few changes to the car in 1966, leaving most of the 1966 Ford Mustang parts very similar to the previous year's model. However, several revised 66 Mustang parts were introduced on these coupes, convertibles and fastbacks, including new wheels, a revised grille pattern, a new instrument cluster, new trim and side scoops, and an automatic transmission option for some V-8 models. There were also several new or different colors for this year's model. These new 1966 Mustang parts separated this year's model from the previous year and led to the more than 600,000 being sold.When looking at the 1966 Mustang side-by-side with the previous year's model, it can be hard to see the differences since they are so similar. However, one of the easiest to spot changes is the grille. The 1966 Mustang features a slotted grille, versus a honeycomb pattern on the previous Mustang. The running horse also did not have four bars extending from it on the 1966 Ford Mustang. The emblems on the side were also revised for the 1966 Mustang, as were the wheel covers and gas cap. New colors both inside and out were also introduced on the 1966 Mustang, with several old ones being removed, setting the 1966 Mustang parts apart even further.
Under the hood, Ford introduced the C4 "cruise-o-matic" 3-speed automatic transmission on several of the optional V8 engines in the 1966 Mustang, which was stronger and more efficient than the outgoing model. Ford also added one of the first AM/FM mono automobile radios, along with a handful of special edition models for 1966. The more than 600,000 sold that year made it the best selling Ford Mustang ever.
CJ Pony Parts offers hundreds of 1966 Mustang parts for our loyal customers to use for their Mustang.

Microsoft has detailed two new own-built tablets at an event in Los Angeles - the Microsoft Surface Tablet and the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet with the later being a fully fledged Intel-powered PC that will run Windows 8 and all the apps that come with it.
The Microsoft Surface Pro tablet will weigh 903 grams, be 13.5mm thick and come with a 10.6-inch ClearType Full HD display. It will also sport much beefier tech specs over the consumer model, including being powered by an Intel Core i5 (Ivy Bridge) processor. Other upgraded specs include a microSDXC card instead of a microSD card, USB 3.0 over USB 2.0, and a Mini Display port as well.
Other features include pen support, allowing you to use a dedicated pen on the screen for making notes, and larger storage capacity of 64GB or 128GB compared to the consumer model, which will come only in 32GB and 64GB models.
It will however sport the same design, come in the same VaporMg magnesium case with kickstand and let you use the Microsoft Type Cover that doubles as a keyboard and trackpad.
The Microsoft Surface Pro is expected three months after the launch of Windows 8, which is expected to be in October, giving us a January launch window. Microsoft says pricing will be decided nearer the launch date.

She kindly sent me a picture of her on her wedding day, with the earrings on which go so well with her beautiful green dress. She also had a second dress which was a white gown which also went very well with the earrings.
Thank you Nora for making my jewellery part of your day, and for letting me blog a picture of your lovely wedding!
Isn't the Internet a lovely thing?

Chelsea hit minnows for six but still crash out
Rafael Benitez finally notched a win at Chelsea but was powerless to stop them becoming the first Champions League holders to crash out of the competition before Christmas following their 6-1 hammering of FC Nordsjaelland.
The fact Fernando Torres ended his goal drought in what was an expected romp was also scant consolation for Benitez and the European champions, who were consigned to the Europa League after Juventus won at Shakhtar Donetsk to top Group E.
Torres even scored twice after David Luiz put Chelsea ahead from the spot at the end of a crazy spell of three penalties for handball in seven minutes that saw both Nicolai Stokholm and Eden Hazard miss.
Joshua John did make it 2-1 but Gary Cahill, Juan Mata and substitute Oscar ensured the holders at least bowed out with their biggest ever Champions League victory and ended their six-match winless streak, three of which were overseen by Benitez.
Chelsea fans' reaction to their interim manager during games has already become a cliche, but amid the customary jeers, abuse and protest banners were newer placards declaring, `Bring Back The Special One'.
It is debatable whether even Jose Mourinho could manage Torres back to his best, the striker appearing fully aware the game represented his best chance of ending his latest drought.
Indeed, the first half-hour was almost all about the Spaniard's quest, whose job against the Group E whipping boys got even easier when Nordsjaelland centre-back Ivan Runje was carried off injured inside five minutes.
Already without their best defender, the Danish champions almost conceded when down to 10 men but Jesper Hansen held Victor Moses' crisp near-post volley from an Ashley Cole cross on the full-back's 100th Champions League appearance.
Mikel Beckmann joined the fray before Torres had the ball in the net, chipping Hansen having already been flagged offside.
He saw another effort saved before at least backing up Benitez's assertion that he was ``amazing'' at defending corners when one of his clearances set up a lightning break Hazard could not finish.
Hazard threatened again with one of several jinking runs before Torres failed to react to Moses' drilled cross, poked another one-two with Mata straight at Hansen, and fell over attempting an overhead kick.
Nordsjaelland captain Stokholm almost showed him the way when he smashed Moses' cross against his own crossbar before the visitors tried their luck at the right end through Kasper Lorentzen and Enoch Adu.
Their adventure was dramatically rewarded in the 31st minute when referee Bas Nijhuis adjudged Cahill to have handled Anders Christiansen's shot on the edge of the area.
Chelsea protested but it did not matter as Petr Cech guessed right to keep out Stokholm's penalty.
After Torres' latest weak finish was deflected wide, Cahill got his revenge when his header from the resulting corner hit the arm of Beckmann.
Incredibly, Hazard's weak penalty was also saved.
Even more incredibly, Nijhuis awarded a third spot-kick for handball moments later when Patrick Mtiliga blocked Mata's shot.
This time, Luiz took charge, firing the ball high into the net.
The Torres show then resumed with an errant diving header before he finally found the net in stoppage time.
There were echoes of his last - lucky - goal against Shakhtar as his finish from Moses' ball in behind hit Hansen and rebounded back off the striker, who accidentally trod on the keeper before gobbling up the rebound.
Torres' strike was cancelled out straight after half-time when John got in behind Branislav Ivanovic to lift Lorentzen's ball over the advancing Cech.
But Cahill restored the advantage five minutes later when he hung in the air to loop a superb header into the corner of the net from Mata's free-kick.
Five minutes after that, Torres finally scored a goal that owed nothing to luck, brilliantly finishing off a sweeping break by poking in Hazard's cutback.
Any joy was tempered by the news Juve had taken the lead in Donetsk - in defiance of the ``Come on Shakhtar'' chants from Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea continued to attack and Torres was denied a penalty before Mata beat Hansen at the second attempt after a one-two with Hazard.
Torres had two penalty appeals turned down either side of Oscar entering the fray to finish smartly after being played through by Mata for his fifth Champions League goal in six games.
Luiz picked up a booking for a foul on Nordsjaelland substitute Kamal Issah to earn a one-match ban.
He had already gone close with a free-kick, Oscar saw another shot saved, Moses shanked a header and Torres failed to chip Hansen for his hat-trick but it was goals elsewhere Chelsea and Benitez needed.

Man charged with slaying of firefighter's wife
Police say 38-year-old was woman stabbed, beaten
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Police arrested a 31-year-old man accused in the Oct. 28 killing of the wife of a Jacksonville firefighter.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Lance Kirkpatrick stabbed and beat 38-year-old Kim Marie Dorsey (pictured right).
Dorsey's husband found her body on the floor just outside the bedroom of their Southside home on Eastbury Drive when he came off a 24-hour shift with Jacksonville Fire-Rescue.
Detectives say Kirkpatrick used to live with the couple and had fallen on hard times. Apparently he and the victim got into an argument when Kirkpatrick showed up unexpectedly at the home to retrieve some of his belongings, police said.
According to a police report, Fire-Rescue personnel were in the home when they arrived and had covered Dorsey's body with a bed comforter because she was already dead.
Police said there appeared to be broken items in the room, and they said there was broken glass on the kitchen floor.
Kirkpatrick made his first appearance in court Tuesday and was being held in the Duval County jail without bail.

We all love fried chicken, but nobody loves the fat and calories that go with it. Baking or "unfrying" starts with removing the skin. If you're worried about sacrificing taste, don't be — marinating the chicken in Kraft Light Done Right! Ranch Reduced Fat Dressing infuses it with flavor, while Shake 'N Bake gives you that great crunchy texture.
Sautéing in Light Dressing
This is a quick way to cook vegetables so they retain their flavor, crunchy texture and nutrients. Light dressing also contains less fat than oil or butter, and allows you to change up the flavor with each different variety.
Foil Packet Cooking
This simple steaming method guarantees a moist and flavorful all-in-one meal. To enclose food in packet, bring up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal, leaving room for heat circulation.
Looking for a great way to cook lean cuts of meat indoors? Pan-roasting is the answer. Marinating the meat in light dressing beforehand keeps it moist and delicious, while roasting it in the oven afterward with quick-cooked vegetables brings out all the different flavors.

"If you follow the world of sports and/or homosexuality, yesterday brought major news in both," said Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" Tuesday night.
Stewart was of course referring to NBA player Jason Collins coming out as gay — Collins being the first to do so in a major U.S. team sport.
So an NBA player came out. "Queue the haters," Stewart said, snapping his fingers.
U.S. & World
But it turned out that a lot of people publically — and rather quickly — voiced their support for Collins: President Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Kobe Bryant, NBA Commissioner David Stern, and many others.
"All in all, it's a pretty great day for major league sports," Stewart said, adding that it's nice that gay people are finally allowed to be included in the "elite" club of professional sports — a club that for generations had allowed "adulterers, wife swappers, gamblers, cheaters, rapists, racists … those who've abused spouses, drugs, alcohol, family members, and animals." For each of these a photo — Tiger Woods, Mike Tyson, Babe Ruth, and Michael Vick, just to name a few — popped up on the screen. And the screen got pretty crowded.
So considering the kinds of people that populate professional sports, Stewart, with a sly smirk, addressed gay athletes: "You sure you want to hang out with these f—ing people?"
Also: Wearing a purple suit, Jason Jones reported on how Collins could have come out with "a little more flair."

Wild Wallachia
Nowhere in Europe do as many bears, wolves and lynxes roam free as Romania. Soon a private national park could help protect their numbers
"I'll pack you off to Wallachia," my grandfather used to say whenever I annoyed him and got on his nerves. Wallachia, for my German granddad, was a bit like Timbuktu for English speakers. In other words, a place that stood for nowhere, for far away, uncertainty, loneliness and wilderness. Alone in Wallachia, you are lost, I thought.
Now, standing on a hill in neighboring Transylvania, I see it stretching away before me – an undulating, velveteen landscape in a hundred shades of green. Some slopes are covered with dense forest; elsewhere, the dark green of the huge old trees is interspersed by the pale green of new saplings. Away in the distance, the Făgăraş Mountains are a jagged outline on the horizon – and on the other side is Wallachia.
It really is wild and lonely, this hill that Christoph Promberger has brought me to. A wildlife biologist from Germany who studies wolves, Promberger, 50, came to the Carpathians over 20 years ago, fell in love with the beautiful countryside and stayed. Now he lives in Şinca Nouă, a village nearly 200 kilometers northwest of the capital, Bucharest. We left our car in the valley and followed a track up past small houses unconnected to the power grid, with individual solar panels on the roof and chimneys belching sooty smoke. As we walked, Promberger talked to me about wolves and bears, about his dream of setting up a national park and about the red tape it involved. "I want to start a European Yellowstone," he said.
Romania has 6.7 million hectares of forest covering a quarter of the country. Very few countries in Europe can match Romania for its wild animal population. More than 2500 wolves are said to roam its forests, as well as roughly 6000 brown bears and some 1500 lynxes, all of which depend on the forest for survival. I want to travel through Transylvania and Wallachia; I want to see this great wilderness while it still exists, because the forest is shrinking. Large areas have already been cleared, and logging goes on even in Romania's national parks, meaning that some nature reserves exist only on paper.
Promberger is fighting to preserve the forests. He wants to set up a private national park in the southern Carpathians, a 2600-square-kilometer site roughly ten times larger than Germany's Bavarian Forest National Park, that will be patrolled by his own employees. Promberger and his wife, Barbara, are looking to purchase 1000 square kilometers through a foundation they have set up for the purpose, and he is hoping the Romanian government will contribute the remaining 1600.
The territory is located between the cities of Braşov and Sibiu, this side of and beyond the Făgăraş Mountains, in Transylvania and Wallachia. "In the beginning, we only bought up intact forest," says Promberger, "but now we have started buying and reforesting logged areas, as well." We climb the final slope to the top of a hill, where horses are calmly grazing and a handful of riders are sitting around a small campfire.
After completing his wolf research project, Promberger started a horseback riding facility and guesthouse with his wife. They take visitors out on day and week-long hacks across the wild countryside, where they spend the night in tents and cook food over a campfire. Next morning, I also swing myself into the saddle and join the group on their ride. Four hundred meters up, a sparse beech wood looks like it's soaking up sunlight and reflecting it twice as brightly. We ride across country for hours, fording streams and pushing through dense undergrowth.
Animals are better company
This place is a riders' paradise because no one fences off their land and we never have to dismount to open a gate. We see trees with scratches on the bark where bears have used their claws, spot wolf tracks in the muddy ground, and hear the rustle of a stag behind a hedge. To actually see the animals, you need plenty of patience and a little bit of luck. The best place to catch a glimpse of wild animals is where they come to feed, and in these places, you will still find small wooden huts where hunters once lay in wait for their prey. At dusk, I find myself in one of these along with a dozen other visitors, staring out on a clearing where two half pigs, corn, cookies and lots of chocolate bars have been placed. I had envisioned nature-watching to be a more romantic pastime, but this, I am told, is the best way to lure bears. The light fades, and when nearly all the color has vanished from the day our first bear pads out of the undergrowth, rises up on his back legs and sniffs the wind before running straight toward the chocolate.
It has taken Promberger many years to waken enthusiasm – or at least interest – among the rangers for preserving wildlife and nature. In the long term, there is more money to be made by taking tourists to observation points than by killing the animals illegally. But Promberger does not approve of the chocolate and cookies since they are bad for the animals' stomach as well as their teeth. In his park, he plans to erect a few observation towers beside the trails where the wild animals' paths cross. Until those towers are in place, he will just have to put up with the local, tooth decay-inducing method.
Why? Because for him, what the animals feed on is less important than that they stay alive, which is why Promberger, his wife and some of their friends founded their own association of forest rangers, purchased the sole rights to the area and hired a ranger, Nelu Moşu. The next day, I head south in an off-roader to see Moşu, passing ox carts and carthorses along the way. Just beyond Bran Castle, the famous, if fictitious, home of Count Dracula, I find myself caught up in a parade of decorated cars loudly tooting their horns. They halt at the roadside. Out of them pour men in plain suits and women in traditional embroidered costumes in red and gold. They wave and invite me to join a wedding. I agree to pose with them for some photos and then continue my journey.
Soon I arrive at Piatra Craiului National Park in Wallachia. I drive along beside the Dâmbovița river, which is no more than a meandering stream at this point. This is where Promberger has purchased his first 160 square kilometers of woodland. There are fresh young saplings swaying in the breeze on some of the slopes. Moşu, a former hunter, is waiting for me beside a small bridge. These days he's a gamekeeper, counting deer, wolves and bears, putting out fodder when the winters are severe and keeping an eye out for poachers. Moşu surveys the treetops, his cap pulled low, his arms folded across his chest and his calloused hands thrust into his armpits. He has walked the forests of his native country all his life.
His old turf was on the other side of the mountains, where the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu came to shoot bears, but only every two to three years; in between, the animals were left in peace. "No one dared poach on the president's land," says Moşu. He knows which paths the bears take and where the wolves lie down to sleep. "A lot went wrong after the collapse of Communism," he said. That's when the poachers came out of the woodwork. A hunter could command between 3000 and 7000 euros for the skin, meat and head of a bear. In Romania, you can live off that kind of money for more than six months.
"We only have around 10 to 15 bears on these 160 square kilometers at the moment, as well as four wolves and 20 red deer," says Moşu. He pulls a digital camera out of his jacket pocket and slowly scrolls through the pictures. A bear, two deer and another bear. A couple of sheep and some cattle. Moşu shows me the photos like other people would show off pictures of their families. He's silent now, just smiling, his gaze calm. "People scare me," he says, "animals are better company."
My grandfather often preferred animals to people, too. Maybe, instead of threatening me with Wallachia, he should have paid a visit himself. It's a pity he never got the chance to ride through these forests. I'm sure he would have enjoyed it.

Current climate change models predict that the world temperature could rise 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, a situation that would cause extreme heat waves, devastating increases in sea levels, massive crop failures and a terrible loss of biodiversity, according to a report issued Nov. 16 by the World Bank.
"A 4°C warmer world can, and must be, avoided — we need to hold warming below 2°C," World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim said as the organization released its new report, "Turn Down the Heat: Why a 4°C Warmer World Must be Avoided." Kim, a physician and anthropologist and the former president of Dartmouth College, became the first scientist to lead the World Bank after he took office in July. "Lack of action on climate change threatens to make the world our children inherit a completely different world than we are living in today. Climate change is one of the single biggest challenges facing development, and we need to assume the moral responsibility to take action on behalf of future generations, especially the poorest."
The study, which was developed by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Climate Analytics for the World Bank, predicts that the worst effects of climate change will be felt in some of the planet's poorest regions, which lack the economic and scientific capabilities to adapt to a warming world. "We will never end poverty if we don't tackle climate change. It is one of the single biggest challenges to social justice today," Kim said in a call on Friday.
Among the effects anticipated by the report:
- Average monthly summer temperatures Mediterranean, North Africa, Middle East and parts of the United States could increase 6 degrees or more.
- Sea levels could rise up to three feet or more, affecting coastal cities in Mexico, India, Bangladesh, Mozambique, Madagascar, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as small island nations, which could become uninhabitable.
- Ocean acidification could cause coral reefs to stop growing or dissolve, threatening biodiversity as well as the income and food sources for humans.
- Drought could affect 44 percent of global croplands, threatening the world's food security.
- Water sources for humans could become scarce in northern and eastern Africa, the Middle East and South Asia.
The report does note that sustained action by the world's governments could hold temperature increases to or below 2 degrees Celsius, a goal already endorsed by much of the international community. More importantly, the World Bank takes the position that action to mitigate climate change would not only save lives, it could create economic growth opportunities. Beneficial initiatives cited by the report include increasing energy-efficiency, especially in buildings; increasing the production of renewable energy; redistributing the $1 trillion of subsidies that currently go to fossil fuel and other industries; expanding both public and private investment in green infrastructures and public transportation; and supporting carbon pricing and emissions trading schemes.
Writing in the foreword to the report, Kim said he hopes it "shocks" the world into taking urgent action against climate change.

We have lived in our house for a little over three years and since arriving have been living with the same builder grade, el cheapo beige paint on our walls. With as many little kids we have coming and going through our house, flat paint is not a good choice because every time someone would touch the wall, it would leave a fingerprint.
I have had a wild hair the past couple of weeks to paint our living room and entry way from the garage. I wanted a smoky charcoal blue/gray color and brought home several testers of paint to try out on our walls. We ended up going with a Sherwin Williams color called Granite Slate. The sample was definitely a smoky charcoal blue / gray color, but once we go it on the walls, it was definitely more blue than gray. I still love it though. It isn't at all what I had in mind, but in the end, it probably is better than the color I wanted.
I feel like we live in a new house now, except this new paint job in the living room just highlights how ugly the builder grade paint is in our other rooms. Oh well, baby steps and we'll get it done, but for now, I'll enjoy my new living room!
(Special thanks to my husband who took over my project and basically did it all on his own… love you!)

Here at Benchmark Reviews we are very familiar with the ongoing revolution in portable media. Wheather its uploading play-lists for an MP3 player or the day's pictures from a digital camera; everyone wants a convenient way to manage their data without having to fumble around the back of their cases. This popular demand has even driven manufacturers to add the most basic I/O ports to the front of PCs. However, with there being so many proprietary media standards, a convenient and centralized solution is still missing from many if not all case designs, leaving consumers looking to after market solutions for their needs.
Benchmark Reviews today will be testing the VIZO Master Panel II Expansion Interface. Featuring twin fan controllers, with support for a wide array of devices; an "all-in-one" approach designed to fit right on the front of your PC. Keeping in mind the need for a convenient and centralized solution, we'll put to test whether or not Vizo's Master Panel II can can truly make it's claim "No need to go to the back...Do it in the front!".
The Master Panel II comes packed with support for USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and HiDef Audio, with Multifunctional Card Readers, an RCA A/V jack, and an eSATA port. (It's a wonder that Vizo had room left on the Master Panel II for the dual fan controllers). This is a design that will surely appeal to the "do-it-yourselfer" out there not happy with the lack of or current placement of stock ports afforded them. Another notable feature with the Master Panel II is that its card reader's four slots are active, allowing you to copy data between different memory cards at the same time. I'll go into that a little later in the review.

Yesterday I had my first webinar on Using Archive.org. We talked about the basics of file types and formats, but I'm not the sort of presenter who goes on and on about that sort of thing. We looked at ways to search for what is on Archive.org--both digital books and digital images of microfilm. The cataloging on Archive.org is not all that easy to use and various ways to find things were discussed.
The Allen County Public Library has allowed many of their out of copyright books to be digitized as well as their NARA microfilm. There is a wealth of material on Archive.org--all free. Digital images of books can be downloaded as PDF, text, EPUB, and a variety of other formats or readable online. Digital copies of microfilm can be downloaded as a PDF file or viewed online as a "book." The names on the microfilm are not indexed, but if you "know" where the person should be or already have that location, searching is not difficult. It is also nice to be able to download a whole roll of microfilm to your computer as well.
We've had good feedback about the webinar on Archive.org and I learned a few things myself while putting it together.
You can order the Archive.org webinar and handout here--for $8.50.

((Well I have been ABSOLUTELY unable to get online until just recently (thanks to my fiance), and even after I got the internet it took me a while to work through some bugs on my notebook. Right now I'm barely making enough to pay the rent, cover my medication and pay the internet so WoW is out of the question (fiance buys the food so no I'm not starving poor).
Today I finally got around to making a trial account just to check in and see how Ravenholdt is doing, and I was shocked at how few people there were! I THINK I saw someone whose name looked familiar, but they didn't engage me possibly because I went under another name. What happened around here I must know!!!
Well for now please enjoy this small story I wrote just for the occasion.))
The hot Durotar wind felt good on the Shaman's face after so many years of self-imposed exile. The time he had spent hiding in that shattered illusion of Draenor had allowed him to build a stable, but quiet life with his family. His days were filled hunting Talbuk with Luuhk or harvesting grain heads to make flour for bread, but when the fires grew low in the dark of night he would look to the sky and gaze longingly at Azeroth. The title he had attempted to uphold and unwittingly betrayed still resounded in his mind, so that with every beat of his heart he could almost hear it again: Warbringer.
"It's good ta be back," Chander sighed as the wyvern lifted off from Razor Hill. He watched the passing landscape with nostalgic smile, but his heart stopped with joy when he saw the distinctive spire just to the right of Orgrimmar's front gate. "I wonder if anyone'll be stayin' at the Bloodfury den, or if they're on deployment somewhere?"
Moments later he was passing over the city wall but within seconds his good mood vanished, and Chander felt his stomach do a sickening flop. Where was everybody?! The once bustling streets were nearly bare save for the usual guards, and a handful of Horde going about their personal business. Keeping his head on a swivel he boarded a lift into the Valley of Strength, and began searching for even one familiar face.
Taking his time the shaman strode around the entire city, but to his dismay he only found one person that looked vaguely familiar. She sat upon a glorious drake the likes of which he was unfamiliar, and something in the back of his mind whispered that she may have even been one of his clan. He saw no tabard on her chest but taking a deep breath he approached, "You look familiar."
He could not distinguish the look she gave him, however her silence spoke volumes to him. He had changed over the years, and since his clan had supported Garrosh before Vol'jin took over he was afraid to use his real identity. The Orcess did not utter a single word so at last he sighed, "Guess I was wrong. Aka'magosh!" He used this phrase in hopes that perhaps she would indeed recognize him, but instead her drake's wings spread and she took off.
Taking the passage behind Valley of Wisdom to reach the spot where he had begun Chander passed a doomsday fanatic screaming about the world coming to an end. He was tempted to beat the worthless fool right where he stood, but the disappointment was weighing him down so heavily that he simply addressed the man in a weary tone. "Yeah I heard all that back when Deathwing came around, so why doncha shut it?"
It was so disenchanting to realize that all of his deeds had been forgotten, because none remained who could tell of them. Where was his clan? Considering how empty the city looked he doubted that anyone would be in the den, so it was unlikely that turning up there would lead to getting decapitated by Stonzgrinda. Even so such a fate would be preferable to never knowing the fate of those he still loved, so with a prayer to the ancestors he left Orgrimmar and headed for the den.
It was a short walk, but the entire way he could feel his heart racing as it hadn't in years. Would he be welcomed by those he had once called family? He recalled the fateful choice which had led him to choose a life of exile, and knew in his heart that if faced with the same decision again he would have done nothing different. Stonzgrinda had been his best friend, and as his second in command only Chander had any right to challenge his views. Indeed that was the duty of any second ranking officer in any clan, but when he failed to help his friend see that the troops needed more from him the cost was his honour. He never meant to drive a wedge in the clan but as more Orcs came to him with their concerns, and he failed to make his leader see the validity of those issues he found himself faced with an impossible decision. They had been begging him to challenge Stonzgrinda, but when he finally did so his voice was the only one drifting on the winds of change. Standing alone with his convictions Chander took his family and left the clan in hopes that Stonzgrinda would see the light on his own.
When he reached the spire's entrance he noticed a couple of the Horde's conscripted peons doing work, but looking up the stairs he couldn't hear any sounds coming from above. Slowly ascending the metal steps his throat tightened, and on the last landing he took a deep breath preparing to shout a greeting. "Lok'..." He stopped for the room was bare.
For several seconds all he could hear was the sound of his own breathing, and when he took a step towards the window his heavy footfall sounded like an intrusion. Still listening to himself breathe he gripped the window ledge, and allowed a single tear to fall unchecked onto the dark metal frame. "Stonzgrinda..." he whispered. "Torgal... Kil'gora... HANABII!!!" He sobbed falling to his knees.
All of them were gone and nothing remained of the life he once knew. He was certain that the Warmistress was enjoying a quiet existence similar to his own, but all of the others could be anywhere in time or space (such as the world seemed to work these days). There was so much dust around the room, but perhaps his clan was too busy doing important things to think about sweeping the floor? It was possible that both the city and den would come alive after darkness had fallen, which considering the midsummer's heat was a reasonable explanation for everyone's absence. He could not flat out admit that they were lost until he had proof.
Getting to his knees Chander looked around the room through bleary eyes, "We used ta build fires an' tell tales of glorious conquests right over there. An' that's where I used ta sleep." Crawling over to the bare patch of floor Chander curled up into a tight ball on his side, and recalled how his late sister had requested this place as the new den after theirs had been destroyed in the Cataclysm. Life wrought so many unpredictable changes but at least he wasn't expected back for a couple of days, so even if it wasn't what he remembered the weary shaman could still say that he had come home. With tears still streaming through his closed lids the former Warbringer whispered two words as a sombre slumber claimed him, "For Bloodfury."

The Best Goal Ever !! (Fearless) June 12, 2011Posted by Richard Foote in Richard's Musings.
Australia (and Canberra specifically) had recently been suffering from two very long and difficult droughts.
One had been a severe lack of rain, which left dams at record low levels. After many years, this ended earlier in the year with rain aplenty and with local dams at long last back at 100% capacity.
The other drought however only just ended last week. That being for nearly three very long and difficult years, I had not managed to score a single goal for my local football team, the mighty Lanyon United. Well at long long last, this drought was also finally broken last week with arguably the best goal in the history of the game (well OK, perhaps I'm exaggerating just a tiny bit with the quality of the goal).
Here it is !!
I can neither confirm or deny rumours that I'm currently in negotiations with several leading European football teams 🙂
- 1. Asif Momen - June 13, 2011
Well done !!!
- 2. Connor - June 13, 2011
hee hee…. I've never seen such post-goal excitement !
- 3. Noons - June 14, 2011
I hear Guardiola manisfested some interest!…
- 4. Goals By Messi - June 30, 2011
Well I think Leo its little better 🙂

10 rock 'n' roll brainiacs
Dexter Holland
Don't be fooled by the skate-punk cretin act.
The Offspring's frontman scored a degree in molecular biology before the band took off, is currently a doctoral student at the Laboratory of Viral Oncology and Proteomics Research, and has recently published a paper on microRNA in HIV genomes. We're so thick, we admit that we don't even know what that means...
Chris Martin
As an undergraduate at London's University College, Martin wasn't big on sex and drugs (he clung to his virginity until the age of 22).
Instead, Mr Coldplay got his head down, emerging with an impressive First in Greek and Latin.
Duff McKagan
Admittedly, drinking so much your pancreas pops hardly smacks of genius.
But in the post-millennium, the GN'R man studied business and economics at Seattle University, and proved so capable he was able to start his own wealth management firm and write a regular Duffonomics column in Playboy.
Rivers Cuomo
Weirdly, Weezer were already one hit album out of the blocks when the singer decided he fancied an elite Ivy League education.
"I applied to Harvard a few months after our first record came out," Cuomo told Spin. "I already realised I was going to get really bored and depressed on the road."
Les Paul
The tack-sharp innovator created the basis for Gibson's first solidbody electric, pioneered multitracking and designed the echo chambers at LA's Capitol Studios.
That's compared to you, who can't even wire the plug on the toaster.
Tom Scholz
Smarter than a brain pie, Scholz aced high school and scored Bachelor Of Science and Master's Degrees in mechanical engineering at the MIT before building the studio on which Boston recorded their squillion-selling debut. Spod.
Ezra Koenig
He majored in English at Columbia University, and you can kinda tell, with Vampire Weekend's lyric sheets hinging on smart-arsed literary references and words we have to look up in the dictionary.
Koenig even wrote a song about a punctuation mark, for God's sake (Oxford Comma).
Sterling Morrison
When the wheels fell off The Velvet Underground in 1971, the guitarist went back to college, earning a doctorate in Medieval Studies from the University of Texas.
His dissertation was on the work of Anglo-Saxon poet, Cynewulf.
Tom Morello
Morello graduated from Harvard with a BA in Social Studies and briefly looked set for a go-getting political career as the scheduling secretary of senator Alan Cranston.
"Most of that time was spent on the phone asking rich people for money," the RATM man later grumbled. "I think rock 'n' roll is a better job."
Brian May
"I was a bit of a swot," admitted the Queen man on Desert Island Discs.
Big understatement: May took a BSc in maths and physics at Imperial College and was chewing over a job offer from Jodrell Bank Observatory when the lure of fat- bottomed girls proved too strong for him. "The crunch came," he recalls, "and I had to decide between astronomy and music..."

The appointment of a Muslim to the head of India's internal spook agency, the Intelligence Bureau, has caused a bit of a stir. Syed Asif Ibrahim is the first Muslim to head the Bureau, and given that a lot of its work is directed against Islamists of one stripe or another, there is something symbolic in that. Some have seen this as a shrewd political move by the Congress government, since its main opposition is the Hindu nationalist BJP, which (unsurprisingly) doesn't get on quite so well with India's 177 million Muslims (it's good to have a loyal intelligence man on your side ahead of a general election). But others have seen the appointment as a breakthrough for the Muslim community, which remains under-represented in official positions and fares poorly on almost every development indicator.
I disagree that this marks any kind of significant breaking down of traditional social boundaries. India's elite no longer faces anything like the prejudice experienced by the country's poor majority. The equality of castes, religions and genders that was enshrined in India's constitution has come true for those with enough money to transcend their traditional identities. This has been the case for a long time — look at this example from the 1971 war with Pakistan (from Kapil Komireddi's excellent article on Pakistan's nuclear weapons):
None of the men who were leading India's forces at the time were Hindu. India's air marshal was a Muslim (Idris Latif); the commander of its ground forces in Bangladesh was a Sikh (JS Aurora); the chief of the armed forces was a Parsi (Sam Manekshaw); and the strategist who planned the capture of Dhaka was Jewish (JFR Jacob).
A similar point can be made about women. India ranked 129th out of 146 countries on the Gender Inequality Index last year. And yet, women are extremely well represented in top positions. The (arguably) most powerful person in the whole country is a woman: Sonia Gandhi, head of the Congress party. The head of the opposition in parliament is female, and women lead some of the most important states: West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and, until recently, Uttar Pradesh.
It is further down the social ladder that discrimination remains a problem. In an almost zero sum world in which hundreds of millions of desperately poor people are competing for minimal resources and scant opportunities, many jealously guard the small social benefits conferred by caste or religion or gender as a way of staying at least marginally ahead of those on the rungs below. These distinctions are often exacerbated by politicians — either intentionally to build a block of guaranteed voters from a certain group, or unintentionally through welfare schemes that are designed to improve the lot of backward groups but which end up hardening those boundaries in the process.
The poor face huge obstacles to advancement primarily as a result of their poor nutrition and education at young ages. Impoverished Muslim communities face even tougher conditions in attempting to break out of their traditionally low status. I haven't found an extensive bio of the new Intelligence Bureau chief yet — perhaps he worked his way up from the worst of ghettos. I doubt it. In any case, by the time he had made it into the more senior ranks of officialdom, he was already in the rarefied air of the elite – a place where the giddy dreams of India's founders can actually come true.
