Post subject: Incredible Coincidence
As a kid I was really into Angel Food cake. I was also into cooking desserts and tried making one a few times. I think I was only successful one of those times. I always thought it was because I made them when it was humid or rainy out. My mother told me that it affects the eggs and they won't rise right. I never knew, and doubt she did either, about having to keep the pan COMPLETELY oil free. Wonder which or if both were the culprits?!
But about the coincidence.. my birthday is this weekend and my wife asked me what kind of cake I wanted. I said Angel Food cake. And that since it had been so long I wanted to make it (I'm also the baker in the family). But I told her I wanted a strawberry glaze on it and that she could make that. I've never had it that way but thought it sounded good. I finally got around to looking for a recipe by searching google and to my suprise I found one not only for strawberry glazed Angel Food cake but on a website called Cooking For Engineers. See, I'm an engineer, too. And I love cooking! Sometimes.
Very cool.
I will definately use your recipe. And thanks!

Post subject: angel food cakes
Wanted to say that I just had three (count them -- 3) angel food cakes in a row plop out of a brand new Wilton Ultra Bake 2 non-stick angel food cake pan. I'm going back to my old aluminum angel food cake pan which -- over many, many years of use -- has not allowed a single angel food cake to fall out of the pan while the pan is inverted!
Thought that Wilton must surely know what they were doing when they made a non-stick angel food cake pan -- since I know you are not supposed to greese an angel food cake pan in any way. Evidently, they don't!

Post subject: Angel food cakes collapsing
I am a owner/operator of a retail bakery in southern IL near St. Louis.
We also have experienced angel food collapsing in the oven after 30 to 35 minutes. In our experience it is the egg whites which have had one of the constituents damaged during pasteurization. This does not affect the whipping properties, just the gel network of the proteins which prevent collapse during the heat of baking. We have extensively troubleshooted for over 9 months with to avail.
Carol's problem would not be the same as ours if she is not using commercial egg whites.

It might be okay. I would guess that that would be borderline, there's a good chance it'll be soggy, but if you're lucky it won't be bad. I always put the strawberries in the day that I'm serving the cake.

Marcela -
need to define "canned"
fresh, know about them
frozen, know about them
"canned" is strawberry jam, to me.
well, jam - preserves - conserves .... whatever floats your boat
frozen will work.

Post subject: Canned strawberries
Sorry, English is my second language and I guess I deal much more with economics than with cooking. Anyway, I meant whole strawberries put in a can (tin?) or a glass jar with some sort of syrup. Would preserves be a more accurate word for that?

Hi Marcela -
no need to apologize - we'll get it worked out <g>
fruit put up as preserves, conserves, etc., is usually cooked - or at least heated in the canning / preserving process. that breaks down the physical structure of a whole strawberry - gets soft, etc.
if that's all you can get - certainly it will "work" but the texture will obviously be different than fresh, same for frozen berries. depending on how thick the syrup is, that could run a bit or make for a gooey mass rather than a crisp fresh tasty morsel on the cake.
good luck and let us know how it works out if you go that direction!

Post subject: Angel Food Cake
This morning I had an angel food cake fall out of the inverted pan, down the bottle (reaming a big hole in the cake) and land on the counter. I was using a regular two-piece angel food cake pan. It's supposed to be a birthday cake for my brother-in-law (his favorite cake). The second cake is in the oven now and I'm afraid to turn it over to cool it after my earlier disaster.

Post subject: Angel Food/Strawberry Cake
Dear Michael Chu: I believe you misunderstood the directions for preparing this cake. Putting strawberries in the bottom half of the angel food cake is supposed to be done AFTER the cake is baked and cooled and cut in half - horizontally. Not before! The bottom half is then kind of hollowed out to allow the cool strawberry/glaze mixture to be poured-or spooned into it. Then the top half is replaced and may or may not be "frosted" with whipped cream. That way, when you slice the cake and lay the slice on its side, you see the center of the slice is filled with strawberries and the whipped cream is around the outside of the slice of cake. It will work--but you DO have to bake and cool the cake first.

What is this comment in response to? I believe it is, by definition, impossible for me to misunderstand the directions... considering I wrote it (as well as photographed each step of the process). I checked and I don't think I made a mistake in the recipe (at least not about the baking part - I checked - it says bake first!).

Post subject: Strawberry filled Angel Food Cake
Dear Michael Chu:
I am terribly sorry! That message was meant for "Angie" who asked the question about putting strawberries on the cake BEFORE it was baked. It was also clear BACK in 2006--I apologize! I was trying to quickly find a great recipe of this kind (and I did--YOURS!) ...but was skimming through so fast that I missed many details in the comments.
I am truly sorry and I LOVE your site! I have NEVER seen such a well explained, well photographed recipe site ANYWHERE before! You have done a wonderful job and I will be back. (Not to criticize, either!) I just felt so badly for whoever it was that had asked that question to have not understood your very great directions. I will NEVER again be so hasty! Sorry! Please keep up this excellent work!

The latest revision of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE, standards calls for passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks to achieve an average efficiency of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. Larger trucks, such as the F-150 from Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) and Chevy Silverado from General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), will be required to achieve a CAFE rating of 30 mpg. While significantly lower than the standard mandated for smaller vehicles, the targets are no less ambitious for automakers. How likely is it that Ford and General Motors meet the ambitious goals?
What you see isn't what you get
It may seem as if Ford and General Motors have a long way to go, but the new CAFE standards are actually quite deceiving. Why? Well, the CAFE rating for each vehicle is determined by driving a vehicle in pristine conditions on a giant treadmill called a dynamometer. The unadulterated results of that test are what gets recorded as the CAFE rating. While the tests were intended to mimic real-world driving conditions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had to intervene when consumers complained of large discrepancies between the advertised fuel economy and what they were actually achieving on the road.
As it turns out, the fuel economy displayed on the EPA window sticker of a new car is determined from five different tests that attempt to account for highway and city driving with high speeds, varying temperatures, and even the use of air-conditioning (thus the term "combined" fuel economy). That means the 54.5 mpg CAFE standard for 2025 is roughly equivalent to an EPA window sticker rating of just 36 mpg. Same car, same real-world fuel economy, two different testing standards to confuse the heck out of consumers. By 2025 some cars will probably reach 54.5 mpg in real-world driving conditions, but consumers can expect closer to 36 mpg for the average vehicle, which is the target automakers need to achieve. Keep in mind that the goal is no less impressive.
Despite the confusing reporting system, regulators are hesitant to scrap the CAFE ratings for the more realistic EPA ratings because they don't want it to appear as though the nation's fuel economy ratings are plummeting or not achieving their original goals. Nonetheless, the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado from General Motors won't be required to achieve 30 mpg in real-world conditions. Instead, the EPA window sticker will likely be closer to a combined rating of 23 mpg. Is that attainable?
Where they stand today
The U.S. Department of Energy website maintains combined fuel economy ratings for all vehicles, which makes our job a bit easier. For simplicity, we'll use the base model from both Ford and General Motors. According to DOE records, a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 2WD and a 5.3 L EcoTec3 engine boasts a combined EPA fuel economy of 19 mpg. Meanwhile, a 2014 Ford F-150 with 2WD and a 3.5 L EcoBoost engine sports a combined EPA fuel economy of 18 mpg.
Foolish bottom line
As you can see, both Ford and General Motors are relatively close to reaching the 2025 target right now with their base models. It's important to note that the 2015 model year F-150 features a new aluminum body, which will significantly improve fuel economy. Similar redesigns and innovations are in the works for future General Motors autos and Ford will surely continue to build upon its success, but neither company is currently listed for 2015 models on the DOE website. While I can't say if Ford or General Motors will reach the ambitious CAFE standards for 2025 across their heavy duty truck fleet, both appear to be on the right track.

Edited by Charles Style, Nicholas Beale and David Ellery
Few areas are more strategic than war – the word 'strategy' has its roots in the ancient Greek for 'general' (strategos). Warfare's lessons for modern strategy are updated in a new book from Gower – In Business and Battle.
The UK's Royal College of Defence Studies' (RCDS) annual programme unites senior personnel from around the world who are preparing for the highest responsibilities in civilian and military spheres.
Each year, representatives of some 50 countries share on average more than 1,000 years of experience in some of the most complex and demanding environments on earth. In Business and Battle is the synthesis of the expert analysis and experience of participants in that programme, tested and sharpened by extensive international fieldwork, and coupled with contributions by first-rate presenters. It deals with strategy and top level strategic leadership together and views them from multinational, multicultural and multisectoral perspectives. In so doing, the book pushes the boundaries beyond a mere description of commercial, civilian and military strategic environments; it provides extensive and deep insights into how to interpret and shape those environments.
"This book … has salutary lessons for those who run armies and those who run companies and even countries," says Lord Robertson of Port Ellen.
Andrew Hill of the Financial Times, points out that modern military alliances "have to be, if anything, more complex, more collaborative and more adaptable than many business combinations".

Sorry, Wol, but you are talking nonsense (and I suspect you know that perfectly well). If in the example above the database has "lost" the information that your fingers belong to you, how do you explain the fact that relational databases actually work at all? Obviously (even to you?) each of those fingers is "tagged" as belonging to you and no one else by a foreign key.

Since nothing is lost by the decomposition process (by definition), entropy is about as relevant as Schrodinger's Cat and all your other pop-science book obsessions. Received on Tue Apr 20 2004 - 01:15:19 CEST

Last year's "Don't eat the winning Oreo" promotion, which offered as grand prize a Volkswagen Beetle filled with Oreos, garnered a 29% hike in retail dollar sales for the cookie brand during the late January/early February period in which it ran. This year, Nabisco Biscuit Co. is offering a fantasy trip to the grand prize winner, Beetles to five first-place winners and cash, cookies and toys to others.
A 30-second TV spot, from FCB Worldwide, New York, breaks Jan. 17 and runs for four weeks during kid-targeted programming, touting the chance to win one of the 1.5 million prizes by finding certain words -- trip, car, cash, toy or cookie -- embossed on an Oreo.
In the commercial, two brothers eating Oreos break into chase as the older brother tries to prevent the younger one from eating the Oreo that would allow him to pick one of three grand-prize trips. No luck, however, as the boy does eat the cookie.
"Usually when you do a promotion, you may get a 10% to 20% lift. But almost 30% is exceptional," said Archie Mack, business director for Oreo at Nabisco. To gain similar or even greater results, Nabisco decided to "enhance the promotion a little bit by strengthening the prize structure," Mr. Mack said.
In addition to advertising for the brand, on which Nabisco spent $15.5 million for the first nine months of 1999, promotions for Oreo are "very important in driving sales among the brand's core audience, households with kids six to 12," Mr. Mack said.
Beginning Feb. 28, Nabisco will run an additional promotion around college basketball's March Madness as part of its official sponsorship of the NCAA Final Four championships.
The promotion, dubbed "Oreo Munch Madness," will feature a limited-time version of Double Stuff Oreos embossed with the shape of a basketball and featuring orange filling.
To support the promotion, to be flagged on package fronts with basketball-themed graphics and the phrase "Do the Oreo dunk," Nabisco will run contests with mass merchandisers such as Wal-Mart Stores and Kmart Corp. offering kids the chance to shoot baskets and win free temporary tattoos.

India has agreed to extend further assistance to Afghanistan, depending on the needs of its defence and police forces, according to news reports from New Delhi.
At their meeting on Tuesday, President Ashraf Ghani and Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for renunciation of violence and terror, as well as closure of cross-border terrorist safe havens.
Such steps were essential for any meaningful progress and lasting peace in Afghanistan, they concurred in reference to Pakistan's role in fuelling violence in Afghanistan.
They discussed a wide range of bilateral, regional and global issues, expressing a firm resolve to eradicate terrorism and further deepen bilateral strategic dialogue, the Ministry of External Affairs said.
"Deep appreciation was expressed for the bravery with which the Afghan forces were fighting terrorism imposed on Afghanistan," a spokesman for the ministry tweeted,
Development assistance by India and connectivity issues were also discussed. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj also met Ghani, who also held talks with his Indian counterpart Ram Nath Kovind.
New Delhi, which has already delivered four military helicopters to Kabul, has ruled out sending troops to Afghanistan at any cost.
"The support extended by India in the defence and security fields, including training of thousands of personnel was positively assessed. The Indian side agreed to extend further assistance depending upon the needs of the Afghan defence and police forces."

"We've decided to go our separate ways, and I am in pursuit of several opportunities," Mr. Hodes told Adage.com.
Eight months and out
Mr. Hodes left after only eight months at the marketing-services unit of WPP Group's Ogilvy & Mather. He was hired to help the agency execute its corporate mission of "360-degree brand stewardship" -- its holistic marketing strategy -- by better integrating the marketing services division with its sibling ad shop. When Mr. Hodes came on board in July, he filled a post that had been vacant since his predecessor, David Brown, left at the end of 2000.
The agency will search for a replacement, said said an Ogilvy spokeswoman, who added that OgilvyOne "is an important part of our agency and our charge."
Garrison and Sciarrotta
Ogilvy's co-managing directors, Linda Garrison and Joe Sciarrotta, who is also executive creative director at the agency, will oversee OgilvyOne until a successor is found.
They will work closely with Trish Chuipek, who was hired in January to be OgilvyOne's director of client services. Ms. Chuipek will continue to facilitate agency integration, the spokeswoman said.

The federal government's concession that vaccines may have triggered brain deterioration with symptoms like autism in a young girl is sure to exacerbate concerns among parents worried about immunizations. It is imperative that the court for vaccine compensation unseal documents involved in this unusual case so that experts, families and their doctors can better understand exactly how Hannah Poling, now 9 years old, came to be harmed after receiving a battery of shots when she was a toddler.
For years medical authorities have been assuring us that sound epidemiological studies showed that vaccines and a mercury preservative once widely used in them were not implicated in causing autism, a condition characterized by lack of social skills, problems with communication and repetitive behaviors. That almost certainly remains true for the vast majority of youngsters.
Hannah's case was complicated by a rare disorder that can deprive the brain of needed energy and cause neurological deterioration. When Hannah's case was submitted to a federal vaccine compensation program, the government settled before the evidence was argued in a hearing. Government medical personnel apparently found that the vaccinations aggravated the underlying disorder. An alternative theory — that the vaccines may have caused the disorder — is viewed skeptically by government experts.
Top health officials are still urging parents to get their children vaccinated, and with good reason. All children deserve protection against infectious diseases, and even youngsters with these rare disorders may be at risk of neurological deterioration if they contract one of the diseases that vaccines protect them against.
It will be important to develop the best possible medical guidance for youngsters with rare defects. That effort would be enhanced if the government makes public all relevant documents in this puzzling case.Continue reading the main story

Ever since "Friends" wrapped up its monumentally successful run in 2004, fans of the NBC hit comedy have been holding out hope for a reunion movie of sorts. While persisting reunion rumors continually find themselves shot down, it doesn't stop them from reappearing. And now two of the show's ensemble are only further taunting those fans holding out hope by admitting they wish the show hadn't ended.
Matthew Perry and Lisa Kudrow appeared together on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" on Friday (July 26) while Perry was guest-hosting for Morgan, and the two said they wished they could go back to 2004 and fight for more seasons with Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer.
"I find myself sort of reminiscing about how much fun the show was, and the hours that we worked. You know, you can see how much we laughed and everything," Perry revealed, noting that he had been asked about his experience during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "And I found myself saying, 'If I had a time machine, I would like to go back to 2004 and not have stopped."
Kudrow didn't disagree. "If it were up to us, like individually, oh, I would keep going," the "Web Therapy" actress said. "There would have come a time anyway when someone would have said, 'We've had enough.' But why not have fun until they do?"
The cast had decided as a whole not to continue, Perry said. But looking back at it, he wished they'd come to a different decision. "Friends" was "the greatest job in the world," he reminisced.
"It was," Kudrow agreed. "We had a lot of fun."
Do you wish "Friends" had gone on longer than it did or had the series run its course by its end?

On November 23, 2015, President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order targeting parties contributing to the ongoing unrest, violence, and political repression in Burundi. As a result, Burundi joins the list of African countries considered to be higher risk from a U.S. sanctions perspective. Other countries on that list include Côte d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Libya, Somalia, the Republic of South Sudan, Zimbabwe and the Central African Republic. The United States also continues to maintain comprehensive sanctions on the Republic of the Sudan.
In addition to issuing the Executive Order establishing a new sanctions program, President Obama designated four Burundi individuals on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons ("SDN List") maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control. Those persons include the Minister of Public Security, the former Defense Minister, and a top military official. U.S. persons generally are prohibited from engaging in any transactions or other dealings with or involving individuals designated on the SDN List as well as any entities that are 50 percent or more owned by one or more individuals designated on the SDN List.
Based on the above, U.S. companies doing business with or involving Burundi should undertake additional due diligence on the parties with which they are dealing to ensure that they are not one of the recently designated individuals or an entity that is 50 percent or more owned by one or more of these individuals. Also, given the possibility that additional parties could be designated on the SDN List pursuant to the new Executive Order, U.S. companies should, as always, ensure that the U.S. restricted parties lists against which they are screening are up to date.

Delicious Turkey Chili Recipe (Healthy!) | Chef SazFitness Food Lifestyle
Hey guys! I am super excited to finally settle into our new home! I decided to cook up our first home-cooked meal in the new kitchen and decided to go with a new turkey chili recipe. It turned out so delicious! I mixed a few recipes that I found online to create my best version. I'm running around like crazy, but it's nice to cook up an easy meal that takes less than an hour. (you basically leave it on the stove and go!) I hope you will give it a try!
This turned out to be the perfectly spiced healthy chili made with lean ground turkey, kidney beans and corn.
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 pound extra lean ground turkey or chicken (99%)
4 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 (12-ounce) jar of salsa (less chunky the better)
2 (15 oz) cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained (optional if you hate beans)
1 (15 oz) can sweet corn, rinsed and drained OR if you hate corn, chop up an extra red bell pepper and add to the mix.
Optional toppings: cheese, avocado, tortilla chips, cilantro, sour cream
Place oil in a large pot and place over medium high heat. Add in onion, garlic and red pepper and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Next add in ground turkey and break up the meat; cooking until no longer pink. Next add in chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt; stir for about 20 seconds.
Next add in tomatoes, chicken broth, salsa, kidney beans and corn. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until chili thickens and flavors come together. Taste and adjust seasonings and salt as necessary. Garnish with fun toppings mentioned above if you'd like! (we prefer going with dairy-free sour cream and cheese option and it tastes just as great.)
*Makes 6 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each.
I can't wait to cook more meals and share the recipes here on my blog! Let me know what you think. 🙂

Snowflakes from Heaven
The most important things to obtain from life are the memories you make with the people you love. Memories are the fabric of our lives; without memory each passing day would be meaningless. Everything we saw, everyone we met, and everything we did would have no influence on the people we would become. It is through our memories that each of us becomes unique. Many things we see each and everyday invoke certain memories, both good and bad, from our past. Therefore there are certain items that we take comfort in and others that we shy away from. Both types are important because they allow us to learn from the past and further our lives. One such item for me is a snow globe that my grandfather bought me as a souvenir from our last ski trip together before he passed away.
I never realized that such a small item could have so much meaning behind it. This polished glass ball that sits on a smooth wooden base signifies ten wonderful years of laughter, knowledge, and love shared between my grandpa and me. As I gently shake the snow globe, I watch my grandfather's spirit sprinkle onto the snow capped mountains in the form of small white flakes. If you were acquainted with my grandfather, you could not help but adore his unique personality and ardent sense of humor. He always put others' needs before his own and carried a positive attitude along with him wherever he would go.
Aside from his presence, my grandfather had a mind filled with exceptional knowledge. It was not until a few years after he had passed away that I realized the extent of his success. He received his doctoral degree from Michigan State, was a respected professor at University of Illinois, and tenured at Northern Illinois University. As a granddaughter, I could not be more proud of his plethora of accomplishments, including the writing of his eminent book, The Psychology of Communication. My grandfather had a passion for all that he endured in, and for that we are one in the same. Thus, I am inspired to become an influential woman in our society as I continue to work relentlessly to achieve my own success.
When I sit in my bedroom, I carefully observe the small snow globe standing proud on my dresser shelf. By no means does this globe simply signify a ski trip to the mountains. Although I can still taste the hot chocolate and feel the heat of the heartfelt fire, my most cherished experience was having my grandfather sit down next to me, look me square in the eyes, and tell me that I could do anything I set my mind to. I was a little girl, naive and optimistic; I absorbed every bit of wisdom he had to offer.

On a frigid afternoon, a day when the Ravenel bridge was closed due to ice, Mike Lata confidently strode into the Waffle House next to the round Holiday Inn, wrapped a black apron around his waist, donned a visor, and took his spot at the griddle. His mission? To master the five dishes in his Waffle House training manual along with a mind-boggling combination of hashbrown and egg preparations — which he did with serious swagger. Of course, his confidence is justified. Hanging on the wall at FIG, next to his James Beard Award, is a golden waffle, evidence of his dominance at last year's Waffle House Smackdown, where he took down Edward Lee and Michelle Weaver with perfect plates of eggs and waffles. This year, he'll get a chance to battle a new round of contenders from around the South. These chefs have been undergoing their own Waffle House training in their respective cities in hopes of wresting that blasted waffle away from Lata. And we have to say, Kevin Gillespie sounds pretty dang serious about it. He's also representing Waffle House's hometown of Atlanta. Looks like Lata better get ready for a big challenge. Let the smack talk begin!
Chef Michael Hudman
(Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Hog & Hominy — Memphis, Tenn.)
Training Regimen: "I've got the manual, and I'm reading it over pretty intensely. My last training scheduled is the day before I leave to go down to Charleston, so I'm going full-on, super intense"
Outlook on the Competition: "You gotta be nervous getting up there, but I'm looking forward to taking the trophy from Uncle Mike. That could be the highlight of my weekend. And it's always good to beat up on [Chris] Shepherd [from Underbelly in Houston]."
Favorite WaHo Meal: "The sausage egg and cheese biscuit. We do a biscuit at Hog & Hominy that's called the Gut Bomb, and it reminds me a lot of the SEC biscuit. You know, we do it a little differently, but both of these biscuits make you want to take a nap."
Smack Talk: "Waffle House and Memphis, they're one and the same, so we're bringing the honky-tonk up there to Chucktown. We're gonna bring some noise, that's for sure."
Chef Kevin Gillespie
(Gunshow — Atlanta, Ga.)
Training Regimen: "I went and worked at a Waffle House yesterday for four hours [9 a.m. to 1 p.m.]. It was like intense on-the-job training. I learned all the marks, learned all the Waffle House jargon, and then they just threw me to the wolves, chucked me on the line with the people cooking there."
Outlook on the Competition: "Early in my career, I had to cover the breakfast shift at the Ritz Carlton downtown on the two days when our breakfast cook was off. And he was a longtime, 20-year-plus veteran of the Waffle House, so we used a very similar system to the way the Waffle House does their orders, so it all started to come back to me yesterday."
Favorite WaHo Meal: "I don't know if I'm a weirdo for this, but I love their chicken. I think it's amazing. So I get chicken and eggs scrambled with cheese. I get my hashbrowns — scattered, smothered, diced, topped, and peppered — and raisin toast ... If I'm having a really fat-kid day, I'll have the chicken and eggs breakfast and a dessert waffle."
Smack Talk: "Waffle House people are serious as shit. Those people take their job really seriously, so no screwing around. When you get in there, we gotta do this thing. I'm gonna be serious as a heart attack about it. I'm proud of the Waffle House, I'm proud of the Atlanta-based business, and I think what they do is amazing every day."
Chef Chris Shepherd
(Underbelly — Houston, Texas)
Training Regimen: "I actually went and worked there twice — or I should say I went there twice to check it out — and man, those guys are good cooks. Those guys don't even move, they've got it down pat."
Outlook on the Competition: "As long as you know what's being asked of you and how to read the plate, if you will, and know how to set it up, I think it's gonna be alright ... Maybe, I don't know. I'm actually kind of nervous about it, but it'll be fun."
Favorite WaHo Meal: "I had a patty melt there, and it was absolutely fantastic. I was so impressed. I was like, 'This is freaking delicious.'"
Smack Talk: "It's funny, Michael [Hudman] texted me, and he was like, 'How many times have you gone to Waffle House?' and I was like '12.' He was like, 'Are you serious?' and I was like, 'Yeah, I've been there 12 times.' I sent a picture to him and Lata, and Lata's like, 'Don't even bother.'"

WASHINGTON -- Senior Bush administration officials said yesterday they oppose plans by some Pakistani politicians to open talks with Islamic militants, saying that could lead to a repeat of a failed 2006 peace accord.
WASHINGTON -- Senior Bush administration officials said yesterday they oppose plans by some Pakistani politicians to open talks with Islamic militants, saying that could lead to a repeat of a failed 2006 peace accord.
That accord "didn't really work," Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte told a Senate committee. U.S. officials think the agreement gave al-Qaida and other militant groups breathing space to regroup.
Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher, the State Department's point man on South Asia, was blunter.
"We've always found that a negotiation that's not backed by a certain amount of force can't really force out the bad guys," Boucher said in an interview on National Public Radio, referring to militants in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region.
"Ultimately, it's the outcome that matters," he said.
The two parties that triumphed in the Feb. 18 elections for the national parliament, however, have stressed the need for a political -- rather than a military -- solution to the insurgency.
Also, McClatchy Newspapers reported on Tuesday that the smaller secular party that won the elections in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province plans to open talks with local Islamic insurgents allied with al-Qaida.
Negroponte and Boucher, though, both expressed optimism that Pakistan's new federal and provincial governments, which are still to be formed after the Feb. 18 elections, will continue to cooperate with the U.S. against Islamic extremists.
Their comments underscore the quandary that the administration is facing since the poor showing by President Pervez Musharraf's party in the elections, which undermined President Bush's long-time ally.
In Pakistan yesterday, a pre-dawn missile strike killed at least 12 suspected foreign Islamic militants in a village near the border with Afghanistan, according to residents contacted by phone.
The militants were staying at a guesthouse belonging to a member of an Islamic political party with links to the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban, residents said.
It's not clear who fired the missile, but it's widely thought that it was U.S. forces in Afghanistan or a pilotless U.S. drone.

Fawad has respectfully represented Pakistan, others give us a bad name: Iman Ali
Trust Iman Ali to speak her mind like no one else. According to a local report, the Pakistani actress recently sat down for an interview and spoke at length about her latest film Mah-e-Meer which also stars renowned host and actor Fahad Mustafa. During the interview, Iman spoke her mind about how Pakistani actors and actress, save for Fawad Khan, who had worked in Bollywood had not represented Pakistan well.
"I feel only Fawad Khan has taken working abroad as a responsibility and been a respectable representative of Pakistan. He did a brilliant job but he was also lucky to get good roles. The rest tend to give us a bad name," she said.
Iman Ali also said that quality was all that she looked for in a film and it didn't matter whether it was an Indian or Pakistani flick.
"I only think about doing good films whether it's in Pakistan or India."
She also revealed how she had rejected so many films just because she thought she could write them better.
"I've said no to so many films that I feel I should write myself. I have written some stories but it's just that I can't go around selling my scripts to people," said the model and actress.
Earlier, she had also remarked in an interview that there were some Pakistanis who had made a fool out of themselves by working in India.
"There have been some – as long as they are not bringing shame to the nation, even that we shouldn't take it personally. It's their choice. They are not responsible for entire Pakistan, if they want to make a fool of themselves," she had said.

It's quite candid of Iman Ali to speak her mind. Could some other actors or actresses respond to Iman Ali's accusations or will they likely let this slight slide?

Mowing the lawn ahead of the rain
The sole of my favorite shoes gave way.
The sole of my favorite shoes gave way.
Thwappiting underfoot,
The tattered rubber taunted me
With the news that these shoes were older than my grown child.
My palms blistered as I raced the storm
Fussing that they were once
Painter's hands
And that a handshake from the fresh faced girl
I was long ago
Made the boys wide-eyed at the callous and muscle and bone.
These hands worked hard.
When did I buy these shoes?
Sometime after my first was born, facing the wrong way up,
Sauntering into this world after 44 hours
Trying to make up his mind.
Before my second, though, who never did anything before he was ready
Bursting out and into my arms after an hour and a half.
Two days or an hour, a labor of love.
This body worked hard.
Guess I don't need these raggedy shoes
I'll garden bare-foot and fearless
My fingers calloused for strings
Playing my own lullaby as the mother-me sleeps
(at last!)
And the crone roars awake.

Gifting My Skills
In the most basic of terms, my pricing policy says that I will give to you the gift of my skills in designing and building a professional website. In return, you may choose to give me a reciprocal gift that you believe to be fair for the work I have given to you. It's that simple.
There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more, and there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want. The generous man will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered. ~Proverbs 11:24-25 †
Gifting is a way to step outside the traditional contractual system to a more personable trust and gratitude based way of doing business. Gifting is a rewarding model that says your word and a handshake still means something in my world. Gifting says, I trust you and you trust me and that we are grateful for each other.
Without realizing it, I have been practicing the idea of a Gift Economy model for quite some time. I didn't know there was actually a name for these types of transactions and that folks were out there discovering how rewarding gifting their talents can be. Adrian Hoppel showed me that there are others doing this and for that I am grateful. Thank you Adrian!
And so, with new inspiration, I have adopted this new way of doing business. But is the idea of a Gift Economy really a new one?
Gifting Goods and Services is Not New
At the heart of the matter, gifting goods and services is not by any means a new idea. Gifting ones labor or product has been around for a long time and has taken many variant forms. In its' purest form, gifting says 'I give you this service without expecting anything in return…period.' Perhaps it involves the faith that you will go out and do the same for someone else. Other forms of gifting may involve some sort of trade, barter, or a gifting of time or money.
When it's all said and done, my hope is that both I and my clients walk away from our shared experience feeling great about the entire process. Ultimately, if we decide to work together, my services will be my gift to you, end of story. If you choose to gift me back, I will accept anything that you think is fair and be grateful for that.
I love working with charities and small non-profit groups who work on very limited budgets. These are true gifts because usually they do not involve a reciprocal gift and are very rewarding for me personally. I have faith that other clients who appreciate my approach and want to gift me back for my services will do so in abundance. It isn't hard to see how rewarding gifting can be and I hope you agree!
There are many models out there which have shown that a "Gift Economy" is not only possible, but has many benefits! Take a look at some of the links in the sidebar to learn more about the Gift Economy.
Quality Services
The fact that I am working in the Gift Economy does not mean I provide inferior services. I strive to do the best I can at everything I do and building websites is no exception. I will provide to you all the services you might expect to receive when working with any other web designer and probably more than most.
Most projects go something like this:
- We discuss your project and see if we are a good match. I do not accept every client who wants to work with me. I am a Christian and will not do any work for a project which goes against my beliefs.
- I will consult with you about your needs and expectations. I will also let you know what I need and expect from you through the process.
- Although no two client needs are the same, as a general rule, I follow the design process outlined here.
- Based on how well you like the finished product and our interaction, you may choose to gift me what you determine is a fair compensation for what you have received.
And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' ~Acts 20:35 †

Recently, we've seen an issue frequently occuring where the dialogs such as Save As, Print, File Open, etc. are being hidden behind the Excel 2010 application randomly. Additionally, the issue can occur with other
Office applications such as Word.
This issue occurs when third party add-ins are loaded in the Outlook 2010 application.
The steps to reproduce the issue consistently involve using the functionality to 'Save & Send' a document from the Excel application. Once you do that process, the add-ins in Outlook appear to be keeping focus and
not allowing the Excel dialogs to move to the front.
To work around the issue for now, remove any third party add-ins you may be running in Outlook 2010 and add them back in one at a time to determine which one is the root of the issue. Once determined, contact the
developer of the add-in for any updates or solutions they may have.
For more information, see the following blog which covers the hidden dialogs with Outlook add-ins and using Email functionality within the Office apps:
- This issue does also occur with Office 2013
- The Ribbon Designer is one way in which add-ins can introduce this behavior. However, we've found it has been introduced in a few other ways:
- If a third party add in is incorporating Outlook Form Regions into an Inspector, you might see this behavior.
- If using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Client for Outlook, you may have experienced this issue. This has since been resolved in the Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Service Pack 1
- If using Microsoft Rights Management Sharing add-in, you may have experienced this issue. This has since been resolved and you can download an updated version of the add-in using the URL below.

Diane Worthington is a vivacious woman with a flair for words and a recently discovered calling for computers. With her official press pass, she appears to be just another of the more than 14,000 journalists hovering about the Democratic National Convention.
But looks are deceiving. This clothing-store-owner-turned-journalist and two partners in the fledgling Transcoastal Electronic News Service (TENS) are pioneers in information-age journalism. TENS is the first group to cover a major political event exclusively for a computer network.
Their stories are being published on the Source, one of the electronic information services that have sprung up to give computer owners more things to do with their machines. With a microcomputer one can read Ms. Worthington's report about her interview with ''River Otter'' at the All Species Rally. Or her colleague Mike Greenly's description of his encounter with Charles Robb, where the Virginia governor answered one of his questions with such authority that only later did he realize he hadn't gotten a straight answer from the experienced politician.
Computer conferencing has unique features that make what Ms. Worthington and her partners - ex-Avon marketing vice-president Mike Greenly and telecommunications expert Sherwin Levinson - are doing quite different from traditional reporting.
Print journalists research and write an article. After it appears they may get response from readers in the form of phone calls or letters. A small fraction of these may appear as letters to the editor, but most never see the light of day. Much the same is true in broadcast journalism.
In what can best be described as ''interactive journalism,'' however, those tied into the computer conference can exchange remarks, opinions, suggestions, and send requests to the TENS reporters in messages that can be read by all participating.
Reporting on a computer network has the immediacy of broadcast journalism while retaining many of the virtues of print. Armed with small, battery-powered computers, TENS writers can file reports from almost anywhere over the nearest telephone. Seconds later the information is available to readers. A chronological record of all reports can be scanned or printed for a permanent record.
''It's heady stuff ... mind to mind communication,'' says Ms. Worthington, who discovered the Source just a year ago. Taking naturally to the medium, she rapidly achieved recognition by moderating some of the most successful conferences on the Source and became co-editor of an online newsletter.
''We see (what we are doing) as a supplement to conventional coverage. We want to provide a candid and uncensored forum for people to comment about events ,'' she explains.
The interactive nature of computer conferencing intrigues Steven Teichner, a well-known political pollster who has joined enthusiastically in this pioneering effort. Mr. Teichner handed the group their first scoop: seven-hour advance notice that Walter Mondale had chosen Rep. Geraldine Ferraro for his running mate.
''I like to play with anything that is new and has potential. So far my response to this whole thing is that it has been both fun and I have learned a lot. (But) I'm not sure that this can be used on a large scale,'' Teichner says.
The reports of the trio of fledgling journalists add considerable texture, if not analytical depth, to conventional coverage. They also bring a bright-eyed sense of excitement at odds with what can often appear to be cynicism adopted by much of the media: In one report Greenly admits, ''Ever since I could read, I've been a media freak.... When I first entered the Democrats' Shrine to my Media Passion - I mean Moscone Center - I was all grins and giddy. Hi, I'm here to meet my destiny, thank you.''
Such a personal and unpretentious style appears to be the TENS hallmark. There is less distance between reporters and readers. Personal backgrounds and biases are clearly spelled out. Stories read like literate letters to friends.
Based on feedback from Source participants, their efforts appear extremely successful. The comment of a subscriber who signs himself Dr. Memory is typical:
''From someone who's been paid to report news: You three are doing an excellent job! you have taken me more places, more intimately and more poignantly, than the networks even aspire to.''
Another respondent adds that reading the morning newspaper seems ''impersonal and incomplete'' in comparison.
All along, readers have been feeding a steady stream of observations, recommendations, and questions to the reporters. Lisa Carlson wrote eloquently of her euphoria when she heard of the Ferraro choice and has suggested a delegate to interview. ''DeQuincy'' wonders if the Mondale/Ferraro ticket looses badly whether that might keep both parties from putting a woman on the ticket in 1988. And ''RLH'' asks the TENS reporters for evidence that the oldtime Democratic leadership may actually want a defeat so they can regain control of the party.
This year it was an uphill battle for the group to get press credentials. Party officials didn't know what to make of them. It reportedly took some support from influential, computer-literate Democratic congressmen before the credentials came through.

Okay, I know this movie site of the day seems like a no-brainer, and if you're in the (vast?) majority who do and have been reading RogerEbert.Com for the past few years, it certainly is that. But, just in case there's a few stragglers, left – you really should be checking out RogerEbert.Com.
Roger Ebert, much to our general loss, may be gone but his legacy of kind, open, and curious film criticism lives on at RogerEbert.Com. The list of current contributors is long and envious. The current reviews are thoughtful, fair, and sensible (see the recent review of The Long Ranger for proof). Plus, Chaz Ebert provides many updates on various tributes and festivals devoted to Roger Ebert, plus a lovely and candid recounting of her experience of widowhood.
So I say again, I'm sure you are reading RogerEbert.Com, but if you aren't you should be.

Graphic Art
Other than poetry and writing fiction, I do like visual and graphic art. Although I am not that great, I do try. Above are some of my Graphic Arts Collection.
The picture of the eye (with the blue iris) was found on the internet. Using Photoshop, I changed it from a regular eye, to something that looks a little bit more evil.
The picture of the beer mug with the grey background, I found on Google. I took that rather plain and boring mug and re-vamped it with a playful, new background and gave it a teasing and luring caption which reads "go ahead… give it a try". Giving it some smoke added a really cool effect to it.
Now, the black and white eye is one of the best things I have probably ever created. Using nothing other than the often neglected program Microsoft Paint, I created something that looks very realistic. Using mostly the spray can and adjustable lines (similar to the pen tool in Photoshop) I created something that looks sketched.
The black and white mouth was made using the default Microsoft Paint as well. Playing around with the lighting effects gives it an almost 3-D effect. One thing I would change if I could would be to make the base colour a little lighter. By the time I realized that, it was too late. None the less, it came out better than i thought it would.
We end this collection off with a beautiful silhouette of palm trees and grass in the setting sun. I made this using Microsoft Paint as well. This whole piece consisted of mostly two tools. The first one is the spray can tool, and the other one is the paint bucket tool. As a child, I always made scenic views with two hills, a river coming through the valley, near my dream home. This was a different take to it. This summer, I did not travel psychically, but as one can see, I was mentally in Paradise!
