A lot of people tried to talk me out of doing this, with arguments such as "WHEN are you going to make 200 pies", "How/when are you going to bake them when we're leaving for Niagara-on-the-lake the day before the wedding?" and "you are crazy. I am not helping you". But I decided to just go for it. How hard could it possible be? I didn't even have structural concerns like I would with a cake! I just had to make a LOT of small pies (muffin sized, in muffin tins). And figure out how to package and label them. Easy.
|So many boxes!
So I started baking. I was planning to make three or four different flavours of pies: pumpkin and strawberry-rhubarb which I had tried and tested recipes for, an apple crumble and possibly a peach which ended up turning into a peach-blueberry pie. I did a few test rounds and learned a few things, which are noted below.
To be honest, there were a few very long baking sessions involved and there were some aspects (specifically the packaging) which look a lot more time than I originally anticipated. But I 100% do NOT regret my decision and would totally do it again. Of course, I had help. My mom graciously lent me some kitchen and freezer space (which I very much lack in my condo). My bridesmaids were AMAZING and helped with everything from creating colour-coded labels, assembling and stamping the boxes, and baking off the pies so I can't say I could have done it all on my own. But with all the other crazy planning and decision making going on, making the pie favours was honestly the thing that I felt most sure about and excited for. I knew that as long as I made the time it wouldn't be a problem, and it added such a perfect, personal touch to the day. And seriously, they looked so cute!!
The good news is, you can make mini-pies for ANY occasion and you don't need to make 200. You could even make some, freeze them and bake off a couple at a time and call it portion control? I actually made some more for Thanksgiving once we got back from our honeymoon because in all the craziness we didn't actually get to TASTE any of the favours. So below are my tips and recipe for my personal favourite from the day! (apple crumble)
|If you cut strips of parchment to line the muffin tins with, it'll make it easier to get the pies out once they're baked.
Mini Pie Tips1. Mini pie crusts need to be more flexible than regular pie crust.
Since you're going to be rolling these out thinner than you would a normal pie, you need something to make these a little more pliable than your standard crust. The regular recipe that I use also tends to be super flaky (meaning, crumbly) so the first round was okay, but not ideal. I ended up adding buttermilk to my liquid which helped a lot.
2. Mini pies = a VERY small dice for fruit fillings
This is pretty obvious in retrospect. Small pie, small dice right? Except my understanding of "small" didn't really compute until I tried to fill my first apple pies and got like, 5 hunks of apple into the crust. If you don't cut up your fruit pretty finely, you won't get very much in your mini pie and then you'll just have a dry pie with a bad filling:crust ratio.
3. Freezing before baking helps fruit fillings from boiling over while baking
Normally, when you're baking full-sized pies you sometimes have a problem where the crust cooks before the filling. This can be solved by covering your pie with foil once the crust is finished to prevent over browning. With mini pies, you have the opposite problem. The filling cooks up much faster since there is so little of it, and so with "jammy" fillings you may have a problem with the filling boiling over before the crust is browned. So if your pies are frozen in advance, this will help extend the cooking time of your filling. I still had some issues with the strawberry-rhubarb and peach-blueberry pies, but they were SUPPOSED to look homemade, right? ("It's rustic!")
4. Crumbles and "topless" pies are your friends
Small pie tops are annoying. I used a lattice crust for the strawberry-rhubarb, and a regular crust for the peach-blueberry. What a PAIN.
5. Proportions are a little confusing when converting recipes. Don't let it stress you out!
I made a lot of extraneous filling when I made the pies. I basically guessed as I went along trying to figure out how much filling to make, and sometimes it didn't really come out right but if you have extra filling, you can always make a crisp or crumble. If you have extra crust, freeze it for later.
|Boxed and ready to go!
Apple Crumble Mini PiesCrust
18 ounces flour
6 ounces butter
6 ounces vegetable shortening (I use Tenderflake)
5 ounces ice-cold water
5 ounces buttermilk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 1/2 pounds of apples (I used Paula Gold and Crispin)
1 1/2 tbsp flour
1/2 cup sugar
Zest and juice of one lemon (start with half the juice and add to taste - I really like lemon and thought it made the pie, but Adam claimed this was too citrusy)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
Crumble Topping
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
1/2 tsp salt
Mush it all together. Add more of any ingredient if you want. Exclude the oats if you don't have any. Add nuts if you like nuts. This is pretty flexible.
1. Prepare crust - Cut out butter and shortening amounts, and freeze for about 1/2 hour Making sure the ingredients are cold is incredibly important when making pie crust. I try to store the tools I'm going to be using in the freezer while my butter and shortening are in there as well to keep everything cool.
2. Measure out flour, salt and sugar into a large bowl
3. Cut in (or grate in) butter and shortening into the flour
4. Add water and buttermilk mixture a couple tablespoons at a time, until flour mixture starts to clump together. Form a ball with your hands (be careful not to overwork the dough or it will end up tough)
5. Divide into two discs, wrap with saran wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes or until ready to use
6. Peel, core and dice apples into VERY SMALL PIECES. Probably around 1/4 inch pieces.
7. Toss the apples with lemon zest and juice, sugar, salt, flour and spices. Set aside.
8. Roll out crust to around 1/4 inch thick. Make sure you're using plenty of flour as you roll out, because if you don't the crust will stick and it won't be fun trying to pry it off the counter. Cut out circles that are a little wider than your muffin tin and line your pan.
9. Fill the crusts with the filling, basically as full as you can without the apples spilling over the sides, and making sure you leave some room for the crumble topping. Sprinkle the crumble topping on top.
At this point, you can either freeze the pies overnight and then pop them out of the liners and into ziploc bags until ready to bake, or bake at 350 degrees Farenheit, 175 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is browned. You don't necessarily need to worry about the filling with apple pie as these won't boil over.

Before anything, here is a special point we took recently: considering our satisfying and hard working manpower here and there (be it translators, encoders etc), we decided to change slightly the release scheldule:
Instead of letting everyone down until the full patch is done, we decided to change it altogether and mimic the Onikakushi-hen type of release: Chapter by chapter, or batch by batch of chapters each time.
This has been decided like this, as the process is much longer than expected and our wish to polish and serve a translation patch as neat as possible, hence much more retranslation and editing.
that said...
Witch Hunt is proud to announce that the first patch for Umineko no Naku Koro ni is available!
The first patch covers Chapter 00 to 02 of Episode 1, Legend of the Golden Witch. You can get it with these links (several mirrors):
[WH] Umineko 1 V0.1 15.3MB (rar file)
Please be sure to check the readme files as some specific points must be taken in account for the full use of the patch.
Also, remember this patch only works with Episode 2 (game). It does NOT work with episode 1.
Please remember that Episode 1 is INCLUDED in Episode 2 (just how it was for Higurashi), hence we are not skipping any episode at all. But the patch can only work with the second game, translation wise, it is about the first episode.
Please don't hesitate to leave your feedbacks, comments, troubleshoots and so forth here!
We will soon provide a subbed version of the Opening movie of the game. Stay tuned!

Thanks for the release people, your hard work is greatly appreciated. I only have a question. Storywise, how recommendable is it to play Episode 2 without having played Episode 1? Is it the same as higurashi, in the sense that the first 3 question arcs were somehow interchangeable?

Much like Higurashi, each new episode of Umineko has the previous one within it.
Hence, buying Episode 2 will also grant you the first episode.
We actually translated the first 3 chapters of Episode 1, Legend of the golden witch.
However, the patch itself does not work with the Episode 1 (game).
Much like higurashi, keeps things in order, do not skip the chapters, it isn't recommended at all.

Yes, we already knew that such problems might happen with people only with episode 1.
Unfortunately, when we decided to start the project, Episode 2 was already available and our encoder, Mion of the Futagotachi noticed that both episodes don't use the same engine and command scripts on various instances.
Hence, we decided that, for convenience and time constraint sake, we should work only on episode 2 engine, as it would be the best options.
We might release a patch for episode 1, but since we wish to finish the patch for both episode 1 and 2, it will be unlikely that we will release a compatible script for the episode 1 game alone.
our apologizes for such inconvenience :/

After some "indepth" test with the patch, you "can" use it with episode 1 game.
However, the structure of episode 2 isn't the same, and there is simply no BGM with the patch applied on episode 1.
Also, at the "shacking boat" scene in chapter 2, it might crash (it will most likely if you hold CTRL, it should be fine with space/left clicking etc).
It might be easier to fix, but I won't promise anything as I do not have the mastery nor knowledge to advance that. I will give more update in the future anyway.
Well, at least, you can keep episode 1 CD much like how you will for episode 2 once 3 and later will be released. I did it that as well, but for collection, completion (and certainly fanboyism) sake
As for 4chan trolls, being a non english native, I can't see it that "unnatural" which is funny because overly exaggerated/sophisticated english should be thougher but whatever...
Considering the retranslation and the tests we made so far, I don't think the english written by tobiast is unnatural at all.

why are you reading 4chan in the first place?
that admission alone means you deserve all the criticism you have read there.
seriously, i hope your feeling bad and learnt your lesson. don't go there again.
pay anymore attention there and i might be forced to apply Animesuki Mod actions on the wiki. I'll show you for going off topic!

Ep. 2 TIPS
A note:
The 'raw' text for these TIPS, I simply copied from a certain site.
However, since this text is originally an image file in the game, the guys of the site had to type it, hence, there are some typing mistakes that may mess the translation.
Example: 結果(kekka, result) instead of 結界(kekkai, barrier)
I happened to find some and corrected them. But maybe, there are more. (The same goes for the TIPS of ep. 1)
When the other translators check it, try to pay some attention to the original text in the game.

Before I start, let me say thank you for translating.
Now, I can see where 4chan is coming from. Umineko reads like a translation, not a novel. If the same translation style were to come from a fansub or whathaveyou, it would be perfectly fine. Since it's a novel (albeit a visual novel), there should be some flow, which isn't there. I can't get a feel for Ryuukishi07's writing style the same way I can from the official translations of novels such as Nisioisin's Death Note novel or Chain Mail (which utilized 5 different narration styles, all of which came out relatively clearly).
Compare it to Tsukihime. Umineko is a good deal 'chunkier', while Tsukihime reads very nicely, and has a flow to it as well. I'm supposed to get a feel for Battler's relations with his family, but I really have to strain, since the feeling doesn't convey itself as well as it should. Alternatively, I can see how Akiha and Shiki get along very clearly from their dialouge. To localize a VN, you don't only need to translate, but you almost have to rewrite it as well.
In any case, I truly appriciate what you guys have done. It saves me the trouble of going in blind with AGTH.

Hmm... maybe we should also remember this is a beta release, and moreover a wiki project. The translation itself was never intended to be a finalized product with this release version, so of course there will be room for improvement. Moreover since this is a wiki project, people who download the beta are also expected to help pointing out the specific translation or edition 'flaws' they spot, instead of making generic complaining. If you do so en masse you will get a pissed Sterling01 like the one above.

Oh please. I try to be nice and offer an honest critique, and get flamed at right away. I have no intention of being rude and I truly do appriciate what you're doing. I mean no disrespect.
The only way I was comparing to Tsukihime was in the way the translation process was done. The Mirrormoon patch reads like a novel, whereas the Umineko reads as a translation. It's not bad, and I can get the meaning, but I don't get any sense of a writing style.
Yes, NisioisiN, Nasu, and Ryuukishi07 all have different writing styles. I can tell what they are from the different translations/localisations. I'm having difficulty feeling out what Ryuukishi07's style is though.
Something that Andrew Cunningham (translator of the Boogiepop novels, plus a LOT more) said about translating novels stuck with me. It's just not enough to simply translate a novel. You have to rework it so it has a flow and structure to it as well. You basically have to rewrite it in the Japanese author's style, only in English.
As I stated before, if it were an anime or manga translation, it would be damn near perfect. But a novel needs a different outlook on translation.
Since I'm not at home at the moment, I can't really point out any specifics. It's just something I noticed about the translation in general. You can't expect to release a translation without being critiqued in some way.

eclipsisNA | Ceramic Pads and Their Affect on Brake Dust
One of my main issues with the stock M3 (or any stock modern BMW for that matter) is how much the stock brake pads dust. Every single M3 I work on has severe brake dusting, and the easiest way to get the wheels to look 100% is to remove them, agitate the dust with a strong wheel cleanser, clay bar the stuck on dust, and then seal them. The problem with this is that after the process is completed, it won't take much mileage for the dust to reappear and we're back at square one. If you've ever cleaned your wheels before, you'll know that it's not a fun process and it takes a good deal of physical effort.
The ideal solution to this problem is to stop the wheels from dusting so intensely. When I purchased my first E92 M3, the first modification I made was to install ceramic brake pads. The difference in dusting levels was immediately noticeable, but I didn't know what the quantifiable difference was. So I thought a little visual test was in order.
Fast forward to April of this year when I already had my 2nd E92 M3 for a while. I got married on April 29th and gave the wheels a thorough cleansing before the big day. I decided not to wax or seal the wheels to test how easy it would be to remove the ceramic dust without the aid of any LSPs. Exactly 6 months to the day after I last cleaned my wheels, I removed all four wheels to clean them after 4,332 miles of use (wheels were last cleaned at 9,357 miles, I'm at 13,689 miles now). Removing the ceramic dust is extremely easy in that it is not as strongly adhered to the wheel's surface as the stock pad's dust. As mentioned before, a stronger cleanser, more pressure against the brushes, and use of a clay bar is needed to address the stock dust. With the ceramic dust, I wouldn't even need to remove the wheels to get them in near 100% condition; I could use long wheel brushes with minimal pressure to clean the barrels and any crevices. The ceramic dust practically falls off the wheels on contact with the brushes.
The pictures below illustrate the massive difference between the two types of pads. After 4,332 miles, the wheels still have considerable gloss with light dusting not being a major visual distraction. The takeaway here is that I could live with the level of gloss on the wheels after 4,332 miles, which is a huge feat for these pads. The stock pads on the other hand, after only several hundred miles, make the wheels look like they were powder coated a dark bronze shade. I can't emphasize enough how big of a difference the ceramic pads made in the amount of dust produced by the brakes. The two major benefits:
1. Dusting levels are massively reduced
2. Dust produced is much less "sticky" than stock dust
When I mention these pads to clients, they always ask if there's any degradation in stopping power. According to tests I've seen performed elsewhere, these pads actually have more stopping power than the stock pads. If any pad experts want to chime in with more technical details on stopping power, it would be appreciated. I couldn't feel a physical difference in stopping power between the stock and ceramic pads, but again I'm not an expert on that topic.
The bottom picture is of a recent client's wheel after only several hundred miles since its last cleansing.
These are the pads I purchased (Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic pads): http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/...oducts_id=3821 & http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/...oducts_id=3822
Keep in mind that the wheels in these pictures were placed on foam pads for protection against the ground.

Fuel Prices Expected to Fluctuate Over Summer
May 28, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Fuel Prices Expected to Fluctuate Over Summer
As the Memorial Day weekend kicks off the summer, this seasonal question is on the minds of travelers everywhere: Where are gasoline prices headed?
Don't be shocked if they top $3 per gallon, but be pleasantly surprised if they drop to less than what you are paying now, according to a release from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind.
It all depends on how the economic principle of supply and demand reacts to conditions globally, says Purdue University agricultural economics professor Wallace E. Tyner, who tracks gasoline prices daily. He expects price fluctuations throughout the summer.
Tyner had predicted earlier this year that gasoline prices would run between $2.60 and $3.20 per gallon this summer in Indiana. His prediction is unchanged.
Although the national average price of regular unleaded gasoline last week was $2.79 per gallon — 35 cents higher than at this time last year — Tyner said prices have been "pretty stable" this year.
Key drivers of gasoline prices this summer, Tyner said, will be the value of the dollar, production levels by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), political stability — especially in the oil-producing regions — and U.S. crude oil gasoline inventories.
The OPEC nations, which heavily influence world oil prices, have said they want the price of a barrel of oil to stay in the range of $60 to $80, which would keep gasoline prices to Tyner's predictions if all other indicators remain stable. Just this week, however, the price rose from $68 to $75. Look for prices to rise next week if oil stays up, Tyner said.
In addition, consumers take more vacations in the summer, drive more and, as a result, use more gasoline. If the U.S. stock market rises and the economy continues to improve, demand for oil will increase, leading to higher prices.
A drop in the stock market would have the opposite effect.
"If the mood in the markets turns dour and economic growth prospects seem diminished, that will put downward pressure on oil prices," Tyner said.
Here's one rule to help you with a best guess on whether gasoline prices will go up or down: When the value of the dollar increases, as it has done recently, the price of oil falls. Conversely, when the value of the dollar falls, the price of oil tends to increase.
Indiana consumers no doubt noticed a swing of about 30 cents per gallon in gasoline prices in May.
"With the volatility in Europe, the U.S. dollar has been moving around quite a bit in the past few weeks," Tyner said.

A circle of desks surrounds him. In the seats, art students — many half his age — stare intently, participating in a creative rite of passage that started with ancient Greek artists who celebrated the human body.
"Everything in our world is made around the human form. The chairs, our homes, our clothes …" said Marion Stephenson, who teaches figure and anatomy classes for the York Art Association. "If you can draw the human form, you can draw anything."
Students in Darren Jordan's drawing and anatomy class at the Art Institute of York are still honing their craft. Some of their sketches bear resemblance to Hammack. Others, not so much.
"I never assume what's on the paper is what I actually look like," Hammack said, in a classroom at the Springettsbury Township school. "That way I don't get insulted."
Like other local models, Hammack, 56, travels the circuit, posing for art students across the region, from York College to Millersville University to the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design.
To him, this art within an art is much more than stripping down.
Every model has a reason.
For some, it's extra income. For others, it is camaraderie or a sense of contribution to the creative community. Sarah Grim fell into it by happenstance. For her, it's liberation.
"I would be naked all the time if I could," she said. "I'm simply clothed for expression and warmth."
The 24-year-old, a former Hooters girl, hadn't done much modeling until a few months ago when a mutual friend put her in touch with Jordan, who was seeking models for his class.She posed first for the school's open drawing, which allows the public to draw figures every Wednesday night for $5 a person. The job suited her well.
"It's good for me mentally," she said. "There's something about sitting still with no shield — nothing to cover me up — that relates to what I'm going through internally. I just need to accept it, be aware of it and be content with whatever's going on in my life."
By day, she works at Bistro 19 and Sweet Melissa's Dream, both in York. Her newfound hobby, she said, doesn't come up much.
But when it does, it's a talker.
"The first question is usually, 'How much does it pay?'" she said. "The next question is usually, 'Is it nude?' Most people say they'd do it if it wasn't nude."
But Grim barely notices her lack of clothes. Instead, she challenges herself, attempting yoga poses for students. She passes time through meditation, thinking about her plans for the weekend or later that day.
During one class, she brought a book to read — The Art of Living by Stoic philosopher Epictetus.
"I'm contributing to classes that create beautiful art," she said. "No one's going to look at that drawing in a perverse manner. They're going to appreciate it for what it portrays — the beauty of art and its form."
Courtney Shumway, 29, isn't shy. The self-employed artist spends most of her time working on her company, Bad Ferret Films, which produces independent films and commercial projects for clients.
She started art modeling at the Art Institute while studying digital art at the school, where she earned her degree in 2010.
When her full-time job slows down, she fills the gaps by modeling nearly every day in classrooms at HACC's York and Lancaster campuses, York College, the Art Institute of York and the York Art Association.
While it might not look like it, art modeling is "like any other working environment," she said.
"I think the students are more uncomfortable," she said. "We're modeling with college-aged students. It's their first time working with a model. It's important to set the tone for them and make sure it's a comfortable space. They need to know it's a working environment."
There's no eluding the obvious: Hammack — a politically conservative father, husband and local security guard — takes his clothes off for money.
Twenty dollars an hour, to be exact.
Hammack estimates more than 10,000 people have probably seen his birthday suit.
Still, nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened.
"I've been hit on in an elevator in Atlanta more times than I've been hit on in an art class," he said.
More than 20 years ago, Hammack said, he was in a locker room with an art teacher, who later approached him about art modeling. Back then, the job paid $8 per hour.
"I didn't really take the whole thing as a compliment then," he said. "Thinking back, it probably was."
Then a master's degree student, Hammack took the gig.
"My wife tells me I do it to stay in shape," he said. "I'm too narcissistic to model if I'm out of shape."
The night before a class, he starts his routine.
He doesn't eat beans.
The day of class, he doesn't exercise, because muscle fatigue could hinder his posing.
Caffeine is out of the question.
He arrives to the job site about 15 minutes early and enters the bathroom, where he does a few push-ups and sit-ups to limber up.
Then, he puts on a white Judo robe and a black belt. It's art model etiquette, he said.
Something about removing street clothes in the classroom feels too much like stripping.
"Not to cast aspersions on people who find themselves doing that," he clarified.
For three hours, he strikes poses for lengths of time designated by the instructor.
When time is up, he puts his clothes back on and talks to the students. He asks them about what poses they prefer. Sometimes, he comes in to draw other models.
That's the side of the canvas where he needs the most work.
"I love art," Hammack said, "but just about everybody is better at it than me."
Models help artists render the idea of depth and shading — transferring a three-dimensional object using the constraints of a piece of paper.
"It's an accepted way of learning art, period," Jordan said. "It means you have what it takes."
His class is mandatory for those attending the Art Institute's programs for graphic design and animation.
For both, students need full comprehension of the body and its movement, even though they may never draw a naked body again.
The knowledge, Jordan said, especially benefits cartoonists.
Even Nickelodeon's Spongebob — a sponge that walks, talks and flips burgers for a living — must imitate bodily motions.
Spongebob leans forward when he gets out of a chair.
He bends his knees before he jumps.
"Even though he might look different and his expressions are exaggerated, they are all based on things we observe in other people," Jordan said. "Our eyes don't bug out of our eye sockets, but they do get wide when we're surprised … Cartoons need to move in a way that's believable, not realistic."
Lance Witmer, 20, hopes to one day become a video game designer.
"I need to know what the body is like," he said. "You have to know the body itself first, then put clothes on top of a character."
Witmer, who studies media arts and animation, admits he was startled, initially, by the prospect of a nude model — something he had only seen once when he accidentally walked into an anatomies class.
"It scared me," he said. "I was like, 'Whoa!' … Then I realized everybody in the class was doing the same thing, and it's not really a big deal."His classmate, Matthew Warren, wasn't fazed at all.
Warren, 19, of Vermont, aspires to become a forensic reconstructive artist, which involves rendering images and models of people using partially decomposed remains.
"I was actually looking forward to it," he said. "I love human anatomy. The skin is all one color, but it's stretched across your body. You're not looking at shapes, you're looking at shading."
The Greeks first caught onto this technique. The tradition of nude modeling continued with the Romans, and sparked controversy during the Renaissance.
"There was a conflict between science and religion," Jordan said. "Religion says it's a sin to see the naked form. Science says you need to study anatomy to understand stuff. That conflict actually caused people to lighten up a little bit about nudity."
Long ago, artists like Sistine Chapel painter Michelangelo even dissected corpses to perfect the craft.
"That, to me, is a little extreme," said Stephenson, the York Art Association teacher. "But if you really want to know that anatomy, nothing can do it better than seeing exactly how those muscles attach to the bone."
Stephenson has been teaching art for 20 years.
At MKS Studios in York, Stephenson asks students to draw a posable plastic skeleton named "Artie" before introducing the nude models. It's less messy.
"Anatomy, to me, is — no pun intended — the bones of everything," she said. "There is no substitute for a model."

Whitney Houston Funeral Footage Sold to Benefit Bobbi Kristina
Whitney Houston may have had one of the most recognizable voices in pop music, which brought her great success, fame and fortune. Apparently, the singer's financial resources may have dwindled down to almost nothing, since her family sold footage of her celebrity-attended funeral to a variety of global media outlets.
Apparently, the family elected to sell the footage in order to raise money for the singer's sole heir, daughter Bobbi Kristina, 18. That's why it would seem that Houston didn't leave much behind.
The funeral took place on Saturday, Feb. 18 in Houston's Newark, N.J. hometown. She was eulogized by her 'The Bodyguard' co-star Kevin Costner and serenaded by Alicia Keys. The funeral aired on CNN and several online outlets via The Associated Press, but all footage was offline and non-viewable the very next day.
A spokesperson for the family told TMZ that the executors of Houston's estate "agreed to license footage to several media outlets for customary fees." Those "customary fees" are being set aside to "maximize the estate for the benefit of Bobbi Kristina."
Hmm, that sounds like jargon-heavy way to say that Houston was broke and/or didn't leave much behind for her only child in terms of money. Why else would the family need to sell private footage on Bobbi Kris' behalf?
At least this money-making endeavor is for a good cause, since Bobbi Kris is in a lot of pain over the loss of her mother at such a young age; Houston was just 48. However, an auction of Houston items is set for next month, and that feels a little tacky and entirely too soon after the pop diva's death, even though the auction house claims that their sale is helping to preserve the singer's legacy and history.
Yeah, there's a better way to preserve Houston's legacy and history. Those are called albums.

Idlemedia needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 38 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Please See: http://99designs.com/contests/23239/
We are launching yet another phone theme site, and basically need to follow the formula of our previous sites. Details are listed at the above contest.
Reference Sites:
-- http://www.officialpsds.com/
-- http://www.skthemer.com/
-- http://www.ithemer.com/
Web-savvy audience, Palm Pre users
Navigation in the header, ad up top, logo on the left (simple text logo with perhaps the image of the phone will do), one smaller column with search, 300x250 ad, top themes, and recent posts in the forums.
Main content area should show the most recent themes, and then top/popular themes.
1) Keep in mind that the fullsize theme preview image is 320x480 - naturally we'll want to thumbnail that, but also keep the proportions similar!
2) A top bar that allows the users to filter what they see per page and have pagination on the bottom, just like these browse pages: http://alturl.com/kwx2 or here: http://bit.ly/1179s1
Theme detail page will follow the ithemer and skthemer detail page moreso than the opsds detail page in that I'd like a frame of the actual Pre device with the theme thumbnail/preview on top of it, like here: http://alturl.com/jghw or here: http://bit.ly/4oKRuO
It should still the stats (date, downloaded, rating etc), commenting, and if space permits, a similar themes panel under it i.e.: http://alturl.com/hpzk
As for style, I'd like to go with pre colors. The dialer is in hues of green like this site: http://bit.ly/14FQML, though any colors that match the overall look and feel of the WebOS would be good. I'd especially like to see perhaps the main body of the site with rounded edges similar to the way the "cards" appear on the Pre.
You can preview the WebOS at sprint's site: http://now.sprint.com/palmpre/

NEW YORK (AP) – Two men from Sri Lanka have pleaded not guilty in New York to charges they sought to give military and other support to the Tamil Tigers rebel force.
The men were extradited from Canada to face charges in the long-running case Thursday in federal court in Brooklyn. They've been ordered held without bail.
One is charged with conspiring to obtain $1 million in missiles and other weapons for the Tamil Tigers. The other is accused of helping the group get design software for submarines and warships.
The U.S. Department of State designated the Tamil Tigers a terrorist organization in 1997. In 2009, the group admitted defeat in a 25-year war with the Sri Lankan government.
The fighting left more than 70,000 people dead.

Over the weekend, it was discovered that artist Amar Djouad, who worked for Housemarque between 2010 and 2012, posted some very interesting Dead Nation 2, Superman, and The Walking Dead concept art onto his website and CGHUB. Though there's no writing on his site, he does post on CGHUB that, for Dead Nation 2, "this is how I see the continuation of the game, unfortunately it is just another canceled project."
I love Housemarque. Easily one of my favorite developers in the past 5 years or so. Lots of great downloadable games.
Dead Nation was a fun little game that gave me hours of enjoymaent. A sequel would be great. I just wish the original title let you play through the hardest setting with everything upgraded from the get go.
I like their "No comment" "May or may not be working on" response to this. In most cases (granted, not all cases), they care about "leaks" like this because it's something that they are actually working on and they feel the need to plug the holes. And in plugging the holes, they effectively confirm that they have something up their sleeve.
I'm redownloading Dead Nation to play it again, such a good zombie game I loved it.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- An umbrella organization of Muslim countries says President Donald Trump's possible recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital would constitute "naked aggression" against the Arab and Muslim world, while the ruling Palestinian party has called for mass protests against such a move by Washington.
The Organization for Islamic Cooperation issued a statement Monday saying its 57 member states should sever ties with any state that transfers its embassy to Jerusalem or recognizes Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem.
Israel captured east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war, but the international community doesn't recognize its sovereignty over it. Palestinians claim it as the capital of their hoped-for state.
U.S. officials said Trump may recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital this week. He had promised to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem during his campaign.

PUTNAM � Thanksgiving�s approach is putting a strain on a local food pantry.
Daily Bread, run by the Putnam Interfaith Council, already has 325 families requesting Thanksgiving food baskets and organizers expect that number to grow closer to 360 by the time food distribution takes place Monday.
�There�s more need in the community,� said Kathi Ann Peterson, volunteer coordinator for Daily Bread. �There isn�t a week that goes by that we aren�t seeing new families that have just standard food needs.�
With the need for help growing, the pantry requires more help than ever to keep the shelves stocked, Peterson said.
There are two collections Saturday that will help the pantry prepare its Thanksgiving food baskets.
State, Putnam and Plainfield police will team up this weekend to Handcuff Hunger. The non-perishable food items and turkeys collected at the event will be shared among local food pantries in Canterbury, Chaplin, Danielson, Moosup, Pomfret, Putnam, and Thompson.
In 2011 the Putnam Police Department collected 150 turkeys. Last year they collected 250 turkeys.
Collection will be from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Price Chopper and Stop & Shop in Putnam, Aldi�s and Stop & Shop in Dayville and Better Val-U stores in Canterbury and Plainfield.
Putnam Chiropractic Center at 245 School St., will host Turkey Day. Existing patients who bring a turkey to the center will get a free visit. The donations will go to Daily Bread.
Dr. Frederick A. Barks, owner of the center, will be on hand with members of Green Valley Blackhawks football team from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Canned goods and cash donations will also be accepted.
�I consider myself very blessed to be able to help our neighbors during times of need,� Barks said.
Donations have already started. On Nov. 5 many voters participated in the �Fill the Tote When You Vote� initiative. Daily Bread received nearly $1,900 in non-perishable food donations and $1,061.97 in cash.
Peterson said baskets will be picked up between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday. The Thanksgiving Baskets require a large amount of food, she said.
And the need continues after the holidays are over, she said.
Daily Bread gave out more than 9,000 meals in September and 7,395 meals in October. Peterson said often it�s not the same families month after month. She estimates the pantry serves between 225 and 240 families each month, which easily totals more than 600 people. She said if every family came in every month, Daily Bread would serve well over 300 families.
�We would not have enough food to feed them,� she said.

FOR OVER A YEAR I have been looking for a recipe for "chinese longevity or birthday buns"
It might not be japanese, but I AM SOOOOO DESPERATE to find a recipe.
I have found a several recipes... None of them turned out like the buns I had. ToT
The main problem is that none of them are white, fluffy, and soft like the buns I had.
All the recipes I have tried are all a soft brown color, and have a wheaty-yeasty taste.
When I asked the waitress how they made them, she said that they buy them in boxes of 100, and come frozen.
I really need a recipe. Could someone help me?
(I apologize if this is a double post; I think the first one didn't take)
Do your recipes call for all-purpose flour? I'm not familiar with the name of this bun, but all Chinese buns that I've had are steamed and made with rice flour. Many internet recipes use all-purpose or wheat flour since it's easier for many people to come by and often cheaper, but using rice flour instead will give you that lovely pure white, fluffy texture and no wheaty taste. Note that this is not the glutinous rice flour used for mochi.
Do you have links to any online recipes?
I always thought that glutinous rice flour was the only kind of rice flour!!!! :O
Hopefully I can find some.... :/
Thanks sooooooo much!!! I will try this (^^)
I think there is a recipe for steamed pork buns in my Bread Bible at home. I'll check when I get home from Work :-X

How To Climb Like A Champ
Vertical terrain is responsible for the biggest thrills — and the most intense pain — in cycling. In races, the crunch almost always comes when the pavement tilts up. Recreational tours such as Colorado's Ride the Rockies feature several thousand feet of climbing each day. And, of course, climbs are followed by swooping, twisting descents where the grin-per-mile quotient is literally sky high. For all these reasons, it pays to get good on hills.
While the following training tips, climbing strategies and skills are written from a racing/competitive point of view, they'll help recreational road and off-road riders who would simply like to climb better, too.
Because climbing is a fight against gravity, your ultimate ability is determined by your power-to-weight ratio. Lean, small-boned riders need proportionally less power to climb well compared to big people. That's why great climbers are nearly always diminutive. The few exceptions, such as Lance Armstrong and Miguel Indurain, generate so much power that their greater size doesn't matter.
The good news is that you can improve your climbing regardless of your genetic makeup. In this article, I show you how to use climbing days to your best advantage.
Example: At 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds, my partner at RoadBikeRider.com, Ed Pavelka, is not built for climbing. But he lived for years in Vermont and Pennsylvania, where he had to climb at least a couple thousand vertical feet on every ride. Over time, this improved his fitness and technique, which made him feel it wouldn't be too futile to try some hilly events. He surprised himself by finishing 9th overall in the Assault on Mt. Mitchell, which ends with a 25-mile climb. Later, he placed 2nd of 55 masters in the Mt. Washington Hill Climb, which gains 4,700 feet in 7 miles, including grades of 18 to 22 percent. If you think you're too big to become a better climber, work at it and you might surprise yourself, too.
Hills For Intervals
Because you should often be training on hills to improve your vertical ability, it pays to scout out the best climbs within a reasonable distance of home. I hear what you're saying: "I live in Pancake, Indiana, and the biggest hill in four counties is a two-foot rise over a culvert." Don't worry. Wind can substitute for real hills. So can highway overpasses. You could even use your indoor trainer with your bike's front wheel raised 4 inches to simulate a grade.
Assuming there are some hills in your area, categorize them for specific kinds of training. Ideally, you'll have these 3 types:
|True Confession: I live in a western Colorado town with arguably the most varied climbing in the country within a 20-mile radius. A dozen steep, kilometer-long climbs reach the tops of mesas. Longer ascents include 6 tough miles on the entrance road to Black Canyon National Park and the fearsome 3-mile, 16% East Portal climb. If I want to do a century, I can climb 13-mile-long Red Mountain Pass to the south or the 30-mile, 5,500-vertical-foot grind up Grand Mesa.
Guess what? All of this great climbing terrain hasn't made me into a great climber. I do okay, but smaller or more talented riders can outclimb me even if they're restricted to a training diet of predominantly flat rides. You may not live in ideal terrain, but you can still close in on your potential.
Stand or Sit?
Is it better to be in the saddle or out when climbing? It's one of the questions asked most frequently by riders seeking stronger climbing.
On short sprinter's hills, you should stand because you need to generate power. Standing produces more short-term oomph. You can use body weight to push down the pedals. There's a downside, though. Standing uses more energy because your legs do double duty. They support your weight while also propelling the bike forward (and up). This is why heart rates are about 5 bpm higher for a given speed while standing.
When you're sitting, the saddle supports your weight, letting all of your leg strength be used to overcome gravity. Generally, bigger and heavier riders prefer to sit more while smaller riders like to stand more. It's essential to find which method works better for you — or whether you're more efficient when alternating sitting and standing, as many riders are. If a mix is best, you need to determine the percentage of each that leads to fast, efficient climbing. Here's how:
If you see more than about 10 seconds improvement in each 2 minutes, you know you're more adapted to that style of climbing. Continue experimenting. Find out how much or which part of a climb should be done seated as compared to standing. How steep does a section need to be before it's more efficient to change positions?
|Tip! When climbing out of the saddle, the standard hand position is on the brake lever hoods. This puts you slightly upright to see better, breathe better and use body weight to come down on the pedals. But more and more pros are seen climbing on the drops, as if sprinting. One reason is that climbing speeds have increased, making a lower, more aerodynamic position an advantage. Another is that it puts more of the shoulders, arms and lower back into the pedal stroke for greater power. At first it might feel awkward to climb in the drops, but try it for a while to see if it has advantages for you.
Training Techniques For Faster Climbing
Not all of your hill training should consist of hammering up the climb, recovering and doing it again. Variations not only boost your improvement but also add variety to training. Here are some excellent drills:
Uphill Skills
Climbing is a matter of fitness, but technique counts, too. Practice the following tips till they become ingrained.
Words of Wisdom: You'll do well to remember these quotes from Eddie Borysewicz and Chris Carmichael, two of America's best coaches:
Correct climbing is a matter of increasing your gear, not decreasing it.
|Tip! Try a breathing tip from Alexi Grewal, an Olympic road race champion. When you're working hard on a climb (or anytime), exhale forcefully and inhale passively. This prevents panting and improves air exchange. Breathe in rhythm with your pedal strokes and you'll feel smoother and in control.

Webgame Wednesday: Zombie at the Gates
While not precisely a tower defense game, Zombie at the Gates does involve a tower and wave after wave of nasty attackers. The cartoon-colored undead hordes here aren't trying to destroy the tower, though. They're coming for you: a weapon-wielding king who just wants to escape. Your salvation lies in gathering resources (wood, wool, stone) and turning your castle into a floating escape pod. Upgrade weapons and such as quickly as possible, because you're going to need them. Don't forget your zombie-stunning stomp move--it's going to save your life many times over. Godspeed, little king.

Koi Boynton, Vermont Agency of Agriculture, 802-828-2084
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Montpelier, Vt – The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, in partnership with the Vermont Farm to School Network, recently announced the recipients of the 2013 Farm to School grants at a special ceremony at the Statehouse cafeteria.
The Vermont Farm to School grant program is in its seventh year and works to improve kids' diets by linking local producers and schools. The grant program encourages schools to engage students in their local food system by incorporating local food and farm education in their cafeterias, classrooms and communities.
This year, grants were awarded to eight schools. Five are implementation grants and three are planning grants. Schools who received grants in 2012 were on hand with displays demonstrating how the money had made an impact on their school and the important role the grants played in bringing more local foods to their cafeteria while making connections with local farmers.
"Just knowing that food grows and doesn't just come from a package is lesson that will stay with us for a lifetime." said Isabelle Moody, sophomore at Mt. Abraham High School in Bristol.
"It is wonderful to hear that students understand Farm to School is not just about healthy food, but also about economic development for our farmers. That is when we know they're connecting the dots between the educational, nutritional, and economic aspects of the program," said Jolinda LaClair, Deputy Secretary at the VT Agency of Agriculture.
The Vermont Farm to School grant program is administered through the Vermont Agency of Agriculture in partnership with the Agency of Education, Department of Health and the VT FEED (Food Education Every Day). Planning and Implementation grants applications are accepted by Vermont schools each fall with awards granted in January.

13. Activities
13.1 Purposes of Church Activities
Activities at the ward, stake, and multistake levels bring Church members together as "fellowcitizens with the saints" (Ephesians 2:19). In addition to providing fun and entertainment, activities should build testimonies, strengthen families, and foster unity and personal growth.
Activities strengthen members by giving them a sense of belonging and mutual support. Activities should help members feel connected to others their age, to their leaders, and to their families. Activities should also help members see how living the gospel brings "the joy of the saints" (Enos 1:3).
Church activities should be planned to fulfill gospel-centered purposes. In addition to the general purposes mentioned above, these include:
- Home
- Handbook 2
- 13. Activities

The thing about multi-billionaires is they are1) unelectable and 2) more powerful than a modest sized country. That's a bad combination already, assuming one appreciates democracy anyway. But Santorum financier zillionaire Foster Friess adds another concern: there's just too many toadies willing to adore their invisible robes, they have no way to know when they're being utter fools. In the words of MC Hawking, check it:
TPM — "I am absolutely stunned how the Democrats were able to somehow say that the Republicans had a war on women. … What was the war on women? They tried convince that somehow Santorum was going to do this, that Republicans were against contraception," he said. "Hugh Hefner said, this guy Friess wants to reverse the sexual revolution. Well, I have four kids. They're two years apart. And contraception's been very, very good to me."Friess smiled as the reporters in the room laughed.
"And so how the Democrats got away with this, I think, is another indication of a flaw of the Republicans. No one confronted that. No one confronted that and said this is a bald-faced demagoguery. But a lot of the women out there, they, you know, they were, I guess — what's the proper word I want to use — seduced — that this a war on women."
So after professing complete ignorance on why people might object to the GOP line on contraception, he then finishes with this, wherein he not only answers his own question, he's not aware that he has done so:
"That message," said Friess, "took advantage of all the low-information women voters out there who just follow Joy Behar, and had no idea that Rick Santorum — and Mother Theresa — believe that contraception goes against the Bible's teaching."
Mr Friess, since you must be surrounded by toadies who won't point the obvious out, I will: there's no need to be stunned, it's so simple. Voters do know that some conservative fundamentalists object to birth control and other personal choices for religious reasons. Fundamentalists are loud as shit about it, they won't shut the fuck up, they scream it and write it and live it 24/7. That's precisely why you lost the 'war on women'.
Now try to follow along: most Americans, including most women, do not like over zealous religious fundamentalists sticking their pious nose into personal matters like reproductive choices and health care decisions. Most Americans — including fundamentalists — abhor people forcing their religious believe onto voters who do not share them. It's terribly, demonstrably, universally unpopular in modern America and throughout the developed world. And yet, at every opportunity, throughout the 2012 election season and beyond, conservative politicians reinforced that perception and re-pledged their fealty to unpopular ideas, and they did so on camera to wildly applauding conservative audiences. Nobody outside of the fundamentalist movement and the conservative caucus that harnesses it likes these fundy assholes. NO ONE. That's how democrats 'got away' with it.
Reads that last part as many times as it takes to sneak this empircal fact past your logic firewall and into your wetdrive.
