Most of you that have been visiting Yummy Monterey Park food blog probably have come to a certain conclusion of my eating habits by now. That being, i am inescapably and inevitably addicted to fast food! But most of all, i love burgers and fries. Theres something magical about holding that burger in your hand, being able to taste all the various condiments found in a burger, differeniating between lettuce, tomato, onion, meat, bun, ketchup and all the plethora of possible combinations found within a neatly packaged (though sometimes messy) wrapper. And to top it off, whenever you feel like you need a slight change in your taste buds, you can switch off to french fries for a quick salty change.
That being said, i would like to mention one of my all time favorite establishments of the burger domain. The Hats. The hats is pretty much an icon of the 626 area having three locations in alhambra, monterey park and temple city, including 7 more establishments within southern california. Their first location was established in 1951, which is quite an achievement for a small burger joint.
If you've lived in monterey park or alhambra, you've seen it. Its that place on the corner of vally and garfield. the one with all the people in front of it at all hours of the day and night. hahah.Click for a closer view of the menu.
Their claim to fame is their "world famous pastrami". ahem. quite a hefty title to go by. i hope they can handle my critique! hahah.
How would i describe 'The Hat's'. one word: ALOT…. (or is that two words?!?!?! i never could bother figuring that out. hahah). for a decent price, they give you alot of food. i typically only order two things from the hats which are their awesome 'Chili cheese fries' and their 'Pastrami burger'. Sounds good already ya?
As you can see, their chili cheese fries that cost $4.59 is anything but little. sometimes me and my buddies would come here for a late night snack. 3 or 4 of us will tackle this single gigantic monstrosity and barely finish it ( of course its just a midnight snack, so we chose not to eat that much). They serve it with a heaping stash of golden cut fries. They use the thick potato cut style of french fries which allows for a higher proportion of potato taste to fried taste in every single chip, which any french fries connoisseur will know is what makes a frie a good frie.
Now for the perfection da resistance! the chili. look at dat chili man! i ain't talking about no frilly little watered down eat before bedtime chili. I'm talking about a heart attack inducing, takes an hour to slide down your throat, can't sleep with your girlfriend type of chili. Absolutely marvelous. the chili is thick, with plenty of of chunks of ground meat in every bite. the texture is what chili should be, the chili itself isn't spicy, but has a strong and vapid smell to it, and the color of it is a nice bold cyan red that in my opinion gives the chili a even more pleasant appearance. On top of the chili is a handful of cheddar cheese that melts into the chili giving it even more flavor and fat to go along with your already clogged up arteries. PERFECT!
Now if we really want a meal, i also order a pastrami burger. At 6.99, its pretty expensive considering a burger iself is around 2.00, that would mean the extra pastrami they heap onto the burger is another 4 or 5 bucks. pricey…. i didn't know the going rate for pastrami was that high. hahah.
As you can see, its pretty big, usuall good enough to split into two. Its a typical burger, however as you can see they add quite alot of pastrami onto it. enough that i can't quite exactly put my mouth over the entire burger. i gotta tackle it in two bites. lol. the pastrami is overall pretty good. Sometimes i get good moist pastrami and other times i've had some lackluster pastrami that was a little on the dry so, so overall its a hit or miss on their part. That being said, even when the pastrami is a little too dry, you could still smell and taste the pastrami, indicating they have quite a good recipe in terms of seasoning and curing the beef.
Stop by sometime, you are definitely in for a treat!
4 outta 4 stars!– Gotta try it!!

You actually did the walnut brain! Awesome. Can I have some of the leftover walnuts? I'd like to eat them whilst pretending to be a zombie.ReplyDelete
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IVY!
Oh dear, wasn't it the Stegasaurus that had a walnut-sized brain? Or maybe that was the one that had "two" brains? I don't know, it's been a while since I was young dinosaur nerd, though I should probably brush-up considering where Toivo seems to be headed with his current shifting obsessions.ReplyDelete
The cake is totally awesome - not at all too much :-)
Seriously all sorts of awesome. You are one clever mama.ReplyDelete
When my soon-to-be-4-year-old requested a "blood cake" for his birthday two weeks ago, mama made. Glad to see we aren't the only goulish household on the planet. Will be showing said 4-year-old your pics to inspire more ghastly ideas for next year!ReplyDelete

Celebrity still gives a great cruise experience.
8 Night South Pacific (Sydney Roundtrip)
Sail Date: April 01, 2016
Ship: Celebrity Solstice
Cabin Type: Balcony
Cabin Number: 1194
Traveled As: Couple
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Review Summary
We initially sailed with Royal C. in the S. China Sea in 2012 and enjoyed the experience with some reservations. Then we sailed with Celeb. Silhouette in the Med in 2013 and saw and felt the difference. So we chose Celebrity this time and were not disappointed.
Silhouette and Solstice are almost identical ships except that Solstice retained the glass blowing show, much to their advantage - a great show and some people do enjoy seeing it more than once! We booked this cruise late and the room options were very limited so we decided on a concierge room on port side, right at the back of the ship on deck 10 and it provided double benefits - a larger veranda and the extra walking distance must have helped with our waist lines, at least a little.
The whole ship was impeccably clean as was our cabin. Concierge is a doubtful benefit but we were happy to be on the ship and lapped up the small extras (except the afternoon canapés). We dined mainly in the main DR for dinner and found plenty of variety - agree with some who say not outstanding for every dish but nothing I would complain about and certainly some memorable dishes. The service from our waiters (Augustika and Cristopher) and sommelier (Sandra) was outstanding - everyone around the table agreed, we all wanted to take at least one of these people home! We dined in the MDR for breakfast and lunch at times; the food was just as good but the service was a bit missing sometimes - is this the difference between having the same waiter at a set time for dinner as opposed to just wandering in? don't know. The Oceanview Café was nearly always busy but seats were not too hard to be found and we never had to wait for any length of time. Again the food quality was fine and most of us (we talked to everyone we sat next to wherever we were) thought the variety was excellent, certainly too much to say I tried it all. We were on our honeymoon and celebrating our first wedding anniversary (where did that year go to!) and we spoilt ourselves by going to the Wine Connoisseurs Dinner in the Tuscan Grill and had a magnificent evening - one of our evening waiters had secretly spread the word and all the waiting staff around our table in the TG presented a cake and sang Happy Anniversary - this just made the night. The food was delicious, the wine excellent and very much free flowing. We had room service breakfast with full choices hot and cold and this was superb for port day starts. Our only disappointment food-wise was Café Al Bacio which was nearly always crowded, the take-away line too long and someone noted that the build up of dirty dishes in the serving area looked a little worrying. But when we did successfully consume here, it was as good as ever. Perhaps so many people getting the free Drinks Package (us included) has put extra pressure on this facility but they need to resolve this to maintain an acceptable standard.
The ship was full and at times it was crowded in places, especially in the evening when the shows were starting, but there was always a quiet spot to be found if one wished. The evening shows were entertaining but not outstanding; we believed Royal C. had better entertainment, but maybe all cruise lines did four years ago before budgets were tightened. Sure many of the activity options didn't suit us but there was always something to do around eating. walking and reading a good book; for the first time on a cruise we enjoyed a free in room movie or three and the choices were fine for us ( fitting in the time was the challenge). Wine and cheese on the top deck lawn a couple of afternoons was great especially when accompanied by easy listening jazz. We enjoyed a dance or two, relaxing in the lounges and on our veranda, shopped a little, enjoyed Captains Table events etc. but did not test the casino.
We thoroughly enjoyed this ship and this cruise and could not understand why some people - and very few in number - would complain about anything, and we generally finished such conversations quickly as we enjoy being positive about things. The bottom line - there were 2800 guests on board and the crew did a great job ensuring we were looked after with a smile in the vast majority of occasions.
Already talking about our next cruise with Celebrity - some travelling companions booked two more cruises before they got off!
The last day was a sad day. But getting off was as easy as getting on, but still sad!

Jennifer Aniston is completely smitten with her screenwriter and actor fiancé Justin Theroux - and his striking hazel eyes have certainly helped.
The former Friends actress beamed about her soon-to-be husband while celebrating his cover shoot for Details Magazine at a dinner in West Hollywood.
Cooing over his smoldering photo, she revealed to Women's Wear Daily magazine: "I love that this eyeballs are so beautifully captured because those eyes just knock me out every day. He just gets better every year."
Bizarrely, the 45-year-old also compared Theroux to a "lost gem in the sand" , yet commended him for his "courage" as he stars in new HBO series, Leftovers.
Justin Theroux is equally infatuated with his talented fiance and was reportedly considering moving from New York to sunny LA once he and Jen tie the knot.
The couple have been engaged since August 2012 and are expected to marry on Theroux's 41st birthday

Packed with abundant history, culture, architecture, delicious food and an energetic nightlife, Barcelona is a year-around destination that offers something for every type of traveler.
Written by Caroline Hughes
Margot House
Tucked behind a discreet facade on Passeig de Gràcia, the recently opened Margo House welcomes discerning travelers with thoughtful amenities and a dose of personality (appropriated named after Margot Tenenbaum, the quirky and aloof character in Wes Anderson's film The Royal Tenenbaums). With only 9 rooms, guests are invited to make themselves at home and are well looked after by the friendly staff. White washed walls and a neutral color palate are a nod to Scandinavian design, creating a calming retreat in the middle of the bustling city.
Casa Bonay
This house turned hotel opened last year after a refurbishment of a 1869 mansion in the iconic Dreta de l'Eixample neighborhood. With great focus on preserving original architecture and elements, each of the 67 rooms enjoy ample natural light and relaxing earth tones. All guests are invited to enjoy the rooftop terrace, which included outdoor showers and hammocks. But what sets Casa Bonay apart from other hotels in Barcelona is the focus on supporting and showcasing local talent and businesses. For travelers interested in local Catalan culture, Casa Bonay gives visitors a taste of authentic local life.
Hotel Neri
Housed in a restored medieval palace from the 12th century, Hotel Neri combines historic ambiance with creative interior design and modern conveniences. In the heart of Barcelona's popular Gothic Quarter, Hotel Neri's unique setting stands out among the boutique hotel options in the city. The only Relais & Châteaux property in Barcelona, Hotel Neri has been awarded the distinction of Hotel Monument, a designation that recognizes hotels that add value to the city's heritage.
Hotel OOM
The well-located Hotel OOM has plenty of amenities to keep guests occupied during their stay. The rooftop pool sets this 91 room property apart, giving guests the luxury of enjoying a cocktail while overlooking the streets of Barcelona. The spa on the first floor is complete with a hamman and water therapy pool. Modern and inviting, Hotel OOM serves as an ideal urban oasis. And to top it all off, Hotel OOM boasts an excellent, Michelin star rated restaurant, serving health-conscious Catalan cuisine.
The Serras
The Serras Hotel is an elegant escape with ocean views and easy access to historic cathedrals in the Gothic Quarter, the Picasso Museum and the beach. With a nod to the city's "modernista" period, the 30 guest rooms and suites having a calming color scheme with pops of black and white graphic prints. The ergonomically shaped furniture invites comfort in the hotel's public spaces. The restored 19th century facade and use of wood and iron materials throughout celebrate the building's Mediterranean roots, which can be enjoyed up close on the stylish rooftop terrace.
Hotel Alma
Sleek and stylish, the minimal decor at Hotel Alma makes this sophisticated hotel an ideal city retreat. The fingerprint activated room keys are a highlight and a seriously personalized touch. Spend some time in the relaxing rooftop garden and terrace to take in awe-inspiring views of Gaudi masterpieces from the rooftop (also seen from a few well-positioned rooms). Alma restaurant serves mod-Med food in a relaxed indoor setting or out on the patio.

Last Sunday, Sept. 7, the blogosphere scoured Google for a post trumpeting the company's 10th birthday. Sadly, we were disappointed, or relieved for those who are Googled out by the Chrome bomb Google dropped on Microsoft.
There was no such post. Methinks Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search products and user experience, was preparing for TechCrunch50 Sept. 8, where she announced a new Google news archive program and served as a panel judge for some startups.
Now she's back to doing what she loves to do in this Sept. 10 blog post: talking search. I have to write about it, simply because it dovetails with my own coverage from last Friday, where I claimed Google's next battle will be in the mobile sector versus Microsoft, Apple and Yahoo.
Instead of rehashing the past, Mayer discusses what she thinks search will be like in the next 10 years. She broke the future of search down into six characteristics: modes, media, personalization, location, social and language. I'm going to discuss what I think about each one.
By modes, Mayer means that search needs to be more accessible through devices beyond the classic PC or laptop. Mobile modality, including on phones, in cars and, who knows, maybe entertainment systems that double as TVs and computers. We're already seeing this with the uptake of Google Search on the iPhone and other gadgets.
She suggests a wearable device that does searches in the background based on the words it picks up from conversations, and then flashes relevant facts? Interesting. That's futuristic all right. Voice search exists, but it's such a niche area right now. I wonder who, what or when Google will buy in voice search to crack into this green field.
"In the next 10 years, we will see radical advances in modes of search: mobile devices offering us easier search, Internet capabilities deployed in more devices, and different ways of entering and expressing your queries by voice, natural language, picture or song, just to name a few. It's clear that while keyword-based searching is incredibly powerful, it's also incredibly limiting. These new modes will be one of the most sweeping changes in search."
These modes could also be quite lucrative once Google, Yahoo or Microsoft figures out how to sell ads against them.
Next, Mayer cites media, pointing to Google's Universal search as an important first step that included images, videos, news, books and maps/local information in Google's search results. She wonders what the results page would be like if it began to seem more like an answer rather than 10 independent guesses.
Further reading
She suggests laying out results in columns to use more of the width available on newer, wider screens. I'm not so sure about that, let alone what it would look like. Mayer would do well to provide a visual, but I appreciate the ambitious thinking.
Third on her list is personalization, and it is here where Google must be careful considering the Department of Justice appears to be poised to challenge Google's deal with Yahoo.

Menendez Bill Targets Airfare Transparency
New legislation from U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) would force airlines and online ticket sellers to stick to the current rules when presenting their airfare costs to customers.
Under the "Real Transparency in Airfares Act," the full fare, including all taxes, would be the first cost a customer sees when searching for flights.
The act shoots down a bill that's currently in the House of Representatives, which allows airlines and ticket sellers to break out taxes from the base airfare and not present the total price of a trip until later in the purchasing process.
"The bill is a bad deal for the consumers," Menendez said of the House measure. "It makes airfare less transparent."
His measure would also double the penalty for violators of the full-fare advertising rule, from a maximum of $27,500 per day to a maximum of $55,000 per day.
"These tougher penalties will make unscrupulous ticket sellers think twice before they try to pull a fast one on their customers," Menendez said.

How weird is this? Today is Administrative Professionals Day
(in my head, I'm saying this in a valley-girl accent. Work with me.)
Yes, there is an entire gd HOLIDAY dedicated to people in my illustrious line of work (don't you dare call us secretaries - that's bad form.)
One day, where e-cards and offers of a free lunch are meant to make up for a year of ... everything else. Why do we deserve a whole day and no one else? Oh, honey, let me tell you:
- WE put up with the greatest quantity of weirdos possible: the criers, the hot-heads, the jumpers, the chatterboxes, and the idiots. They come to us like moths to a flame.
- WE do so much more than answer the phone and take dictations. Some of us practically run the offices we work for. But regardless, we are often treated as if we have the mental capacity of a well-dressed crustacean.
- In an emergency, WE know what to do. Forget the big-wigs, we know everything from the emergency routes to the quickest sandwich delivery source and who to ask for anything. It's like a Garmin AND Wikipedia AND Facebook, all Linked-in (hah) to one.
- WE are the eyes and ears of the institution. Never underestimate the knowledge of an admin. We hear and see and know more than even we want to. Whether we become the mouth of the building is entirely dependent upon our moods and how you treat us. So yes, this holiday may or may not be a cleverly disguised bribe to keep us quiet.
For certain, this was not a holiday I ever expected to celebrate. I think that calls for a drink, don't you? So, a special shout-out to all the overqualified admins just biding their time until they RUN the place. Cheers!
So, tell me, why do you deserve your own holiday?
Grad Students Day, anyone? I think yes.

Chick With Gloves
Hope you all had a good Memorial Day weekend, filled with BBQ and cold beer!. It's been awhile since I've posted any sketches, so here is a chick...With gloves.
I decided to post the pencil sketch as well, because I ain't thrilled to death with the color, but in the pencil version I think I went a bit too forced ( perspective wise ) with the hands. As Jerry Seinfeld would say "She's got Man Hands!"
Was still good to get the pencil moving again.

Inspiration Monday: The Dover Boys
The weekly "Inspiration Thurday" is hella late this week, so it got kicked to Monday..I don't think my 3 regular readers are in any uproar over it, but deadlines and such got in the way.
Anyway animation is such a quick process, and in animation there are many techniques that take place in that 1/24th of a second to fool that you never really notice..One of them is the Blur.
One of my animation teachers Doug Compton showed us this great Warner Brothers cartoon called the "Dover Boys Of Pimento University", check it out:
After watching it, we went back on a few scenes and he went frame-by-frame on the old 4 Head VCR ( we're talking 1993 here) and we saw some of the images below ( which happens at 3:29 in the cartoon)
We were all pretty awed, as you never really focused on these crazy frames, but they are all over the film, and in many other ( especially Warners) cartoons.
When I worked on 2D games, I would use blurs for toony action, as it gave a good look, and cut down on the number of frames you would have to draw, in the 3D games I've worked on, we were able to get this effect in some of the anims we did for "Over The Hedge" PSP, especially with the speedy hamster Hammy. So it is definitely something that can be used for animation of all mediums.
Monday, May 07, 2007
It's been a lil bit since I've posted, and a weekend has come and gone. The big deal this weekend was that "Spider-Man 3" opened up, and it made ass-loads of cash. I haven't seen it yet, mainly because this weekend was also was Cinco De Mayo, so I was too busy drinking Tecate's and eating fried foods lathered in cheese, which made my Spidey-Sense tingle all the way to the Banjo!
Even though some friends of mine said it was "alright" I still plan on catching it next weekend, and hopefully at IMAX...But until then I did up a sketch of ol' Spidey, which was actually a lot of fun, as he lends himself to awesome animated poses..As much as Spidey has been in movies and media, my first and fondest memory of the "Wall Crawler" was when he appeared on "The Electric Company". Web sling your way down memory lane HERE

2010 Ford Taurus: Born Again
by KBB.com Editors | February 18, 2009 7:35 AM
The original 1986 Taurus looked and drove differently from anything in Ford's portfolio -- or anyone else's, for that matter - and it quickly became America's best-selling car. Ford, no doubt, would love for the latest, radically restyled Taurus to strike a similar chord in the country's car-buying heart. The automaker says the new model's sculpted exterior projects themes of "sporty, muscular, athletic and formal," and that its craftsmanship and quality, inside and out, are "comparable to costly German luxury sedans." So far, we've seen no good reason to counter those claims. Only one engine will be available at launch -- a 263-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 -- but powertrain options will include a choice of two new six-speed automatic transmissions and front- or all-wheel drive. Available technologies include a Cross Traffic Alert system that looks left and right while backing out of parking spots -- a feature not offered on the 1986 Taurus.

R10 Baggage protection insurance with FlySafair
Earlier in the week, low cost carrier, FlySafair, launched a Bagggage Insurance Product, underwritten by Chubb Insurance South Africa Limited for only R10. With this product it aims to reduce baggage related incidents and compensation in the event of something going wrong. The R10 premium that covers your personal belongings for up to R10 000.
"While incidents relating to baggage damage are few and far between (less than four per 1000 bags), issues do happen. From an airline's perspective, these issues are complex because there are a number of parties involved in handling luggage from the point of check-in to the point where it arrives on the carousel on the other side. To manage liabilities around this, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) established the Montreal and Warsaw conventions, under which airlines are required to take limited liability for luggage. We noted this limitation and felt quite strongly that it doesn't deliver on the type of customer experience we wish to deliver," stated Kirby Gordon, head of sales and distribution at FlySafair.
Although the airline had already had this feature in place it was reportedly not a good fit for them.
"Firstly, FlySafair customers have the option to save by electing not to take checked-in luggage, but the standard policy was priced to include risk on luggage, so it seemed unfair to us to force customers who wanted the cover, but weren't taking luggage to take the redundancy. In real terms it's a few rand only that would be shaved off the premium, but the principle was very important to us.
"The second and biggest part was actually around customers' experience. The standard liabilities for the airline on damage and pilferage were problematic to us. You'll note that our colleagues at Mango Airlines were the subject of a consumer watch story where they refused to replace a broken wheel on a suitcase," added Fly Safair.
While these incidents should always be looked at on a case-by-case basis, because of the legislature, their refusal is actually valid by virtue of the standard liabilities outlined by IATA's Montreal and Warsaw Conventions.
"Similarly, the compensation you get for missing and damaged goods is ruled by a bizarre system where you are compensated for goods by virtue of their weight. So someone might have a dress worth over a thousand rand stolen from their suitcase along with a bottle of shampoo, and end up getting over compensated for the shampoo but hopelessly under compensated for the dress. In the end the system is a bit blunt and we weren't happy with treating customers that way, so we wanted to find a better solution," added the airline.
What you are covered for
FlySafair also offer a travel protection product. "Our Travel Protection offers you a more comprehensive set of protections relating to your reservation, things like delay cover, the need for cancellations, device cover and valuables cover. This now replaces our original product (that had included the baggage cover) and the price has gone down from R30 to R25," stated Gordon.
The new baggage cover now just protects the checked baggage (actual suitcase and contents) as well as sporting goods that you might check in.
Under the Montreal and Warsaw conventions, airlines are only deemed liable to compensate passengers for essential items expected to be in luggage, such as clothing and toiletries.
Here, 'Compensation is paid at a standard rate of 20 USD per kilogram and standard weights are set for various items. In addition, the airline is liable for damage to the actual suitcase only in the event that it is completely destroyed; minor damage such as broken handles, zips and wheels are not covered,' explained Gordon.
How does this offering compare to others on the market?
FlySafair admitted that the offerings on the market are fairly similar. "All Low Cost carriers in SA insure baggage up to R10 000 and the policy wording around it is all pretty much the same," said Flysafair.
The big difference here however is the fact that you can achieve this cover specifically, without being forced to take the full comprehensive cover set, and you can do so for a very low price, the airline explained.
In addition to all the airline offerings, banks also offer travel insurance as a free benefit when using your credit card to purchase airline tickets. But here too customers are not given the option to acquire specific cover as in the case of this offering.
"While we obviously seek to reduce the number of incidents as far as humanly possible, it's only reasonable to expect that issues will occur. The idea here is to give our customers the option to have peace of mind for just R10, so that they know if something does go wrong, they are covered," stated Gordon.
Handy tip: Check out our credit card comparison section to see if the card you are interested in offers travel insurance.

Chilling In Iceland
Iceland is a beautifully relaxed place. We haven't seen any actual ice, but the land itself is surreally lovely. I don't know what I was expecting, exactly, but the countryside is far more interesting than I'd imagined.
It's a new land, raw, volcanic. Here's a volcanic caldera, a sort of mini Crater Lake, only redder.
Thick mosses are the first things to grow over new lava flows.
It's a land of water, and the power of water, as the mighty Gullfoss falls demonstrate. All cold water in the country is free, and hot water and electricity are very cheap. Homes and buildings are heated by geothermal power,
as the water comes out of the ground boiling hot.
In places it just boils up out of the ground gently,
whereas here at Geysir it bursts forth spectacularly every 8-10 minutes.
Much of the landscape is soft and soggy, in the most picturesque way possible.
It's a perfect setting for geese
and for the beautiful Icelandic horses. These guys were friendly and curious, two traits that are said to be characteristic of their breed, as well as a fifth gait possessed only by the horses of Iceland.
We heard a lot about the special horse-man relationship that exists here, and allows everyone to survive the brutal winters.
We also learned that Lutheranism is the state religion of Iceland, and that the ministers are state employees, supported by state taxes. That vertical rock face is the North American side of the Atlantic Ridge,
the only place in the world above water where the Euro-Asian and North American tectonic plates converge. So right here it's possible to be in Iceland and in North America at the same time, in an abstract sort of way.
Lutheranism may prevail, but ancient superstitions are still alive, and many Icelanders apparently still believe in trolls,
elves, and fairies. I'll let you decide about that, but a country where all health care is free and so is all education up through university is bound to be inhabited by good spirits of some description.
And thanks to my own personal troll for his striking photos of Gullfoss and Geysir, as well as the shot of my delightful new bonnet.

Very interesting! Who knew Iceland is so beautiful?! That's quite an eye catching chapeau.

Wonderful images. Someone told me that the names Iceland and Greenland are descriptively reversed – Greenland is icy and Iceland is green.

The U.S. Supreme Court told a lawyer to respond to an accusation that he acted without the permission of a death row inmate who wants to waive his appeals and be executed.
The nation's highest court on Monday declined to review the sentence of Michael Ballard, 40, who pleaded guilty to killing his ex-girlfriend and three others in Northampton in June 2010.
Attorney Marc Bookman had asked the court to review a state Supreme Court decision upholding the death sentence.
Ballard, however, said in a recent letter to Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli that Bookman was acting without his permission. The typed letter said he learned about the appeal through news reports, and "they are acting against my own wishes to waive my appeals."
The U.S. Supreme Court denied Bookman's request and ordered that he respond to Ballard's letter within the next 40 days.
Bookman is director of the Atlantic Center for Capital Representation, a nonprofit that provides free consultation to defense teams in Pennsylvania and Delaware capital cases. He told The Express-Times in an email that he wasn't Ballard's attorney and declined further comment.
Morganelli said he sent a copy of Ballard's letter to the nation's highest court to ensure that the justices knew Ballard opposed the appeal. He earlier accused federal defenders of representing anti-death penalty causes instead of their clients.
Defense attorney James Connell, who has been working on Ballard's local appeals, said that Ballard told him in May that he didn't want his appeal to continue beyond the automatic review before the state's highest court.
"He wanted it to end there. He didn't want to go to the federal court," Connell said, adding that his client wanted to be held accountable for his actions.
Only three people have been executed in Pennsylvania in recent decades, and all had dropped their appeals.

In early 1964 a friend called me up and asked if I wanted to hear the new Beatles album, "With the Beatles." It had come out in Britain a couple of months before, but no one I knew had heard it, or for that matter heard of it. My friend's father, an airplane pilot, had brought it back. It was just days after the Beatles' first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
At his house, a group of us looked at the four black-and-white faces on the cover — John, George and Paul on the top row, with Ringo, somehow smaller, alone below — the left side of each face shaded so that it only half emerged out of the black behind it.
We listened straight through to the last track, which, my friend announced, was the Beatles' version of a Motown record, Barrett Strong's "Money (That's What I Want)." And that, he said, would cost $2 to hear. Per person: Anyone not paying would have to leave. We paid. We listened. It would cost $2 to hear it again, he said. We paid.
The Beatles loved Motown. They covered everything they could, even if it wasn't a hit, as "Money," issued in Britain in 1960, wasn't. So much the better: They could start a song from the ground up, take it to pieces, put it back as something new.
What they made in the studio on June 18, 1963, was the biggest sound imaginable. It wasn't pop. It wasn't entertainment. It was fun in the way that watching Michael Corleone shoot Sollozzo and Captain McCluskey is fun. It was shocking.
George Martin was the producer. He added Strong's piano part to the Beatles' recording after the fact, but the Beatles would have heard the piano as a ghost as they played. Certainly it was playing in John Lennon's head as he sang, a power source at the foundation of the record.
You can hear what John brought to bear on "Money": anger, resentment, discomfort, determination and the will to inflict that anger, resentment, discomfort and determination on everyone in the world. You can hear what the Beatles did with the song as the only recording that truly captured the chaos of the Hamburg gigs, what happened when John put a toilet seat around his neck and all bets were off.
The performance is so fast, so big, relentless and unforgiving, it feels as if it's flying apart, 3 minutes and 3 seconds of the big bang in a box made of mastery and will. You can only imagine how it made the Beatles feel to play this way, to keep every promise rock 'n' roll made when they first heard it, and then make it promise more than it ever had before.
The first words break the fanfare that opens the song; Barrett Strong's singing is fierce, but John's is appalled, hateful and ravenous all at once.
The best things in life are free
But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees
Now give me money
That's what I want
You can almost see the words bursting into flames as they leave his mouth. The ground shakes; you are in a new world where honor, decency, fairness, kindness and love are replaced by sound and desire, and absolutely nothing else. Paul and George scream out a doubled ooooooooo so demonic it can make you flinch. Like John they are burning off their Beatle masks and raising the specter of a being so implacable it cannot be stopped and so consumed by urgency it can never be satisfied.
The song powers on, until, near the end, John shouts, off the beat, "I WANT TO BE FREE," and you realize that the person speaking will never be free. It is a record that in the years since it was made has lost none of its ugliness and none of its beauty.
A few months after I paid to hear the Beatles' "Money," I had it myself, on the Beatles' second Capitol album released in the U.S. I was working in Washington, living in a basement in Maryland with two roommates. They complained: Why was I playing "Money" over and over? What was so great about it?
I turned the sound up: What you hear is a metaphorical representation of modern society grinding the individual down to nothing. Do you hear that scream? That's the gears of the machine, destroying the soul!
I was laughing as I was talking, mocking my own enthusiasm. But in the middle of it all I thought: That's exactly what's happening. It was an argument about life — one that, onstage in Toronto in 1969, with the Plastic Ono Band, Lennon would make even more starkly, hammering the fanfare, when he already had more money than he would ever spend.
From its first line, as Motown's Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford wrote it, to its last line, as John Lennon rewrote it, this song is about nothing but freedom, and the acceptance, the insistence, that money is the only freedom there is or ever will be. The Beatles give themselves over to this argument, and they hold nothing back. That's why listening to what they did that day in 1963 is like watching the best horror movie ever made, terrified of what's coming and unable to turn away.
Greil Marcus is an author, music journalist and cultural critic. This essay is adapted from a longer piece on "Money" in his latest book, "The History of Rock 'n' Roll in Ten Songs," forthcoming from Yale University Press.," to be published in September.

Our History
St Agnes has an extremely rich mining history due to the unique high quality tin found in the area, formed by action between the granite and the complex rock around the area's cliffs. Today, St. Agnes remains the last remaining tin production centre in the UK (at the Blue Hills mine).
The iconic mine shaft at Wheal Coates goes all the way down to the sea, and at high tide you can hear the waves crashing against the rocks through a grate on the floor of the ruin. This mine shaft is accessible through a large cave at the far end of Chapel Porth beach at low tide. Legend has it that Wheal Coates is haunted by the ghosts of the miners that have tragically died there...
The mining that occurred in and around St Agnes shaped the landscape, economy and society of the village. This is still evident today in the ruins of the mines themselves, the harbour where ore was shipped and coal received, as well as in the magnificent houses of the mine owners. The area is recognised as a World Heritage Site, and the Cornish Mining website is an excellent place to head for exploratory walks, fascinating facts and a deeper understanding of the huge importance of this industry in Cornish history.
Myths and Legends
We love a good story, and there is none so good as the local legend of Giant Bolster; the foolish giant outwitted by the fair maiden Saint Agnes. His story is celebrated every year in St. Agnes at the Bolster Pageant and Festival, with the huge giant leading a Carnival procession across the Beacon and into the village. Check out the Bolster Festival page for more information.
St. Agnes Museum
If you would like to learn more about the rich and varied history of the area, visit the St Agnes Museum, which contains a fascinating array of artefacts and exhibits detailing the area's mining and seafaring heritage. The museum is open seven days a week from mid-March to the end of October, and is free to enter. Check out their website for more information.

It's weathered several intensely cold nights already, out here in the unheated greenhouse, and I kinda wanted to see if they could make it through the winter. What a difference last night made, not colder than any others, it's probably the night after night that got 'em. Well, inside they go to see if there'll be any miraculous recoveries.

Outfit: Skirt - Versace for H&M ($130), Heels - Jessica Simpson ($20), Necklace - H&M ($18)
The moment the lookbook for the Versace collaboration with H&M was released, I knew I would be buying this silk studded skirt. The pictures are amazing, however, I wish you could see this skirt in person because the way it sparkles and moves is absolutely stunning. I have a few skirts with this shape, but there is something about the way this skirt flows is different. It may be the combination of the silk and the weight of the studs. No matter what it is I love it. So far, I have only worn this skirt with solid black, but I can't wait to try it with other combinations. I think it will be one of those pieces will go with many more tops than I thought.
Speaking of collaborations, Jason Wu for Target is about to be released on February 5. Images from the collection have been released on the internet and I am getting very excited. Everything is under $60 and it could not be cuter! I am in love with the navy dress and flower satchel.
Are you lusting after this collection, too?

Colorwork Questions and Winner
4 comments:
First of all thank you so much for the giveaway. That was very kind of you. And I don't do much colorwork but the v neck with colorwork in the yoke sounds lovey.ReplyDelete
There's something really cute and gentleman-like about v-necks on tots, but I didn't realize they were easier to pull on as well. Bonus!!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see what you decide. I think colorwork is fun. It's like a revealing puzzle. I wish there were better tutorials out there for working the colors in a row. I don't really see any out that. I can do two.ReplyDelete
I have yet to do any sweaters with color work, I admire your talent. I love doing raglan sleeves, could you do raglan sleeves with color work at the top too? Great blog, I'm enjoying reading your knitting adventures.ReplyDelete

Kosmicheskie dali
1972 - (SOKOLOV, A.K.) LEONOV, Aleskei Arkhipovich. Kosmicheskie dali. Moscow: Ikobrazitel'noe iskusstvo, 1972. Folio (11 by 14-1/2 inches), original marbled blue imitation leather gilt portfolio, metal and enamel cover medallion, original printed self-wrappers; pp. 34, 33 loose color plates. $2800.First edition of Russian cosmonaut A.A. Leonov's work on artificial satellites, with 35 loose color illustrations (17 folding) and 5 additional monochrome red-tone illustrations laid in, signed on the front wrapper by both the illustrator A.K. Sokolov and by Leonov. Text in Russian.This elaborate production by Russian cosmonaut A.A. Leonov concerns artificial satellites and astronautics. "In March 1965, at the age of 30, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov made the first spacewalk in history, beating out American rival Ed White on Gemini 4 by almost three months. Floating outside his tiny Voskhod 2 capsule for 10 exhilarating minutes, Leonov felt, he writes, "like a seagull with its wings outstretched, soaring high above the Earth" (Air & Space, Smithsonian). Leonov went on to write extensively about his life as an astronaut and about space exploration in general. The wonderful illustrations by A.K. Sokolov display satellites and the landscapes of astronomical bodies as well as space itself in vivid color. The entirety is housed in a handsome publisher's portfolio made of blue imitation leather and bearing a raised metal and enamel medallion with a hammer and sickle. This copy contains two copies of Plate 1, for a total of 35 plates instead of the usual 34. Five additional folio red-tone monochrome illustrations, apparently also by Sokolov, have been laid in; they do not appear to be integral to this edition. The front wrapper also bears an inscription in an unidentified hand in addition to the signatures of Leonov and Sokolov.Small, faint stain on front wrapper/inscription, slight scattered foxing to verso captions of folio plates, light edge-wear to portfolio including small missing piece at top of pocket. A near-fine copy, most desirable signed. [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; Soft Cover]

Randy Otto and colleagues are as busy as beavers these days. I just blogged about Dr. Otto's new violence risk assessment text; now he and colleagues Jeffrey Musick and Christina Sherrod are releasing the Inventory of Legal Knowledge, a brief measure of response style for defendants undergoing adjudicative competence evaluations.
The 61-item, true-false test is orally administered and takes about 15 minutes. Questions are phrased in simple language and concern the legal process. It's highly portable for in-custody settings. And at $129 for the complete kit it's not a bad deal, considering PAR's normally hefty pricing. (You can order it now, but it won't actually release until mid-September.)
The theoretical basis is the same as for the Test of Memory Malingering and other measures of malingering; one suspects dissimulation when scores are either significantly lower than chance or significantly lower than attained by relevant normative groups.
A validation study has been published online in advance of the print edition of Assessment. The study, by the test authors, is titled: "Convergent validity of a screening measure designed to identify defendants feigning knowledge deficits related to competence to stand trial." Here is the Abstract:
Because some defendants undergoing evaluation of their competence to stand trial may feign limitations in their ability to understand and participate in the legal process, assessment of their response style is critical. Preliminary research indicates that the Inventory of Legal Knowledge (ILK) has some potential to identify persons feigning competence related impairments. This study examined the convergent validity of the ILK using a sample of criminal defendants who, while undergoing competency evaluations, were administered the ILK and other response style measures. Moderate correlations between the ILK and these other tools provided some support for the ILK as a measure of response style.
More information is HERE.
Online review of updated SIRS malingering test
Richard Rogers' widely utilized Structured Inventory of Reported Symptoms (SIRS) has just been updated with a second edition, and forensic psychologist Steve Rubenzer of Houston, Texas (where "we don't only sing, but we dance just as good as we walk") has a critical review in the Open Access Journal of Forensic Psychology. The abstract:
The Structured Inventory of Reported Symptoms-2 (SIRS-2) contains significant changes designed to prevent false-positive and false-negative classification errors. While the SIRS-2 has many laudatory features, the manual contains some erroneous and questionable statistics and arguments, and authors sometimes stray from the best practices advocated by the first author. The SIRS-2 is a strong choice for assessing feigned psychosis and severe psychopathology. However, evidence for its value in assessing many other conditions, particularly somatic complaints and feigned cognitive impairment, is quite limited.
The full review is online HERE.
Overview: Feigning adjudicative incompetence
And, there's more! Sherif Soliman and Phillip J. Resnick have an overview of accepted methods for detecting feigning in competency evaluations, including specific instruments and their limitations, forthcoming from in an upcoming issue of Behavioral Sciences & the Law that is now online in advance of the print edition. The abstract:
Competence to stand trial (adjudicative competence) is the most requested forensic psychiatric evaluation, with an estimated 60,000 referrals annually. The challenge of detecting feigned incompetence has not been systematically studied until the past decade. Estimates of feigned adjudicative incompetence vary from 8 to 21%. This article reviews techniques for detecting malingered psychosis and malingered cognitive impairment during competence evaluations. Specific techniques for assessing feigned adjudicative incompetence and estimating the malingerer's genuine abilities are discussed. A stepwise approach to suspected feigned adjudicative incompetence is proffered.Since this manuscript was already in press when the new ILK and the revised SIRS-2 were released, these instruments are not reviewed. In addition to a basic overview of instruments, however, Soliman and Resnick also describe a structured approach. As the authors point out, "Unlike many other evaluations, the assessment of adjudicative competence does not end with the determination that the defendant is malingering." Even with an uncooperative individual, the evaluator must make an effort to determine the subject's genuine capabilities.
Correspondence about that article should go to Dr. Soliman, Senior Clinical Instructor of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio.

Authorities have identified a man who was shot by police after a dispute about a recreational vehicle in a Las Vegas-area skydiving landing zone.
Clark County coroner's officials say 58-year-old Ronald Wayne Tate died of gunshot wounds to the head and chest after the standoff Sunday at the Jean Airport.
Police Capt. Matt McCarthy says a skydiving company employee summoned police after a man in an RV wielded a rifle and refused to leave a drop zone.
McCarthy says the man barricaded himself in the RV and was shot dead after he pointed a rifle at SWAT officers. No one else was hurt.
Jean Airport is off Interstate 15, about 30 miles south of Las Vegas.
The officer who shot Tate has been identified as Charles Moser.

engine is stalling, apparently due to low fuel pressure. Guage reads 45 -60 psi when first started, then as engine runs pressure gets lower until engine stalls from lack of pressure. (About 20 psi or so.) After a 30 second wait, pressure comes up and starts again.
with ground leads from rear fuel pumps disconnected from battery, there is no pressure or fuel. When connected, pressure comes up - I disconnected the ground lead from the h.P. Pump (so I can hear) and I do hear the pump in the tank whirring. Seems like a fuel volume issue. This truck has twin tanks - could the selector valve between the tanks be the culprit?
other causes for low fuel volume to the high pressure pump?
no apparent kinks or restrictions in the fuel lines, new fuel filter, new h.P. Pump (was making bearing noises with erratic fluctuations in pressure - sounded like it was on a failure path). Rear tank pumps replaced about 1.5 years ago.
need to get running as is a work truck and I am losing money by the hour.
have the same problem?

Several weeks ago a film by the name of 'Dope' came to my attention due to the ever-socially active actress, Zoë Kravitz, and her copious posts promoting it on Instagram. The vibrant images she was posting immediately caught my attention due to the vivid colours and throwback fashion: The characters of this film embrace 90s to the core. Last night, I finally had the pleasure of watching the film and I must say I was even more enraptured than anticipated.
The Top 10 Coming of Age Films According to No One of Relevance
As a self-confessed film geek, I tend to pride myself on my film knowledge, however there's a question I often struggle with: "What kind of films do you like?" Despite my love for the pictures, I'm also admittedly useless when it comes to genres. All my favourite films seem to cover an array of genres, so simply describing them as a "romance" or "tragedy" doesn't seem to suffice. A question I handle slightly better is that regarding my favourite film; I could reel, (excuse the pun), off a list of what feels like a million and one films that I consider to be my favourite at one time or another. Despite all these films having totally varying storylines and characters, they do seem to have enough in common to consider them "coming of age" films, or what I'd consider perfect for that teen angst phase which I know so well. Anyway, I've decided to compile a list of my top 10 absolute must see, changed my life, can't live without films that fall into this category…
Why Birdman?
Not long ago if someone mentioned the film 'Birdman' to me I would have shown a great amount of enthusiasm. However perhaps that's because I hadn't yet seen it. Prior to viewing the widely publicised picture I had high hopes due to the cast consisting of Ed Norton and Emma Stone, (a couple of my favourite actors.) Unfortunately I was left disappointed.
Review: The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby (Her)
Those of you who read my review on the first part of 'The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby' (Him), may be a little confused to hear what follows. This film wasn't merely more bearable but, I actually enjoyed it. Luckily for me, it was not the painstaking hour and a half that the last was.
Review: The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby (Him)
Yesterday I had the misfortune of dedicating ninety minutes of my life to the painful experience that was 'The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby'. It sounded like an interesting concept, two films told from the perspectives of two people in a relationship. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to it's rather respectable 63% rating.
BAFTA 2015: Yet another disappointment…
Firstly may I begin by noting that I was not, I repeat not, disappointed with the presentation of the BAFTAs. As I seem to have acquired a mild obsession with the wonderful Stephen Fry, it would be hard to be left unsatisfied with that aspect – despite his poor attempt at an impression of Stephen Hawking which mustered up a few uncomfortable laughs. I was also thoroughly pleased to see Linklater and co awarded for the 12-year accomplishment that is Boyhood.

Welcome to the Walla Walla Wagon Wheelers' Website
The Walla Walla Wagon Wheelers is one of the oldest organizations in the Walla Walla Valley being established in 1936 during the Whitman Centennial Celebration. In the past 60 plus years this service club has a lot of accomplishments to make it's members and community proud.
The club was started by a group of business men, local farmers and ranchers with the goal of representing the Walla Walla Valley in various area celebrations using horses, wagons and a western dress uniform. In 1947 our organization became incorporated. That same year we started our well know drill team. In 1950 we became sheriff posse members, and in 1953 members became bonded Deputy Sheriffs for Walla Walla County. Over the years members assisted with mounted teams to assist in lost person search and rescue, and occasional man hunts for criminals at large.
The club has a variety of annual events; Trail Rides (single, multi day, and pack in trips), Family Camp Outs, a Parade group, Drill Team (feature performers at Frontier Days!), Ham Feed, Barrel Racing, Ranch Sorting, Team Ropings, Family Playdays (with and without Pot lucks), Winter Gaming Series, Family Christmas Party, New Years Eve and Valentines Day dances. One of our main annual income projects is "Frontier Saloon" located under the grandstands at the Walla Walla County Fairgrounds. We operate the "Saloon" twice a year during the Spring Race Meet and Frontier Days Fair and Rodeo.
Wagon Wheelers sponsor the Junior Wagon Wheelers, a youth organization for boys and girls to promote the healthy growth of our young people into fine adults. FFA, 4-H, and other Southeastern Washington Fair related activities are also supported by our organization. Additionally we offer two $750 college scholarships annually to Walla Walla area youth.
October 20th 1999, Wagon Wheelers received a donation from Don and Sharon Johnson of approximately 11 acres of land located off Hussey Road. Located on the land was a 160′ by 280′ lighted arena, a 6 stall barn, and a large metal horse shelter. That shelter was converted into a state of the art club house. Through the generosity of the Don and Sharon, local business support, and membership labor we now have the finest horse club facility in the area.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - Under a rainy April sky on Saturday, flags across Chambersburg flew at half-staff to honor the memory of Pfc. Aaron M. Genevie.
Family and friends gathered during a four-hour viewing at Kelso-Cornelius Funeral Home to say goodbye to the 22-year-old soldier killed April 16 in Iraq when his Humvee struck an improvised explosive device.
The stream of cars entering and leaving the funeral home was as steady as the rain that drove eight veterans bearing the red, white and blue to seek shelter for the flag as they stood guard outside the viewing.
Across the street, the somber spirit of the borough glowed red in a marquee that read, "Chambersburg honors the loss of Pfc. Aaron Genevie."

Chicken Fajitas - Englishman Style!
It's 102 outside right now! And I'm in here slaving over a hot stove...with an ice cold bottle of Michelob Ultra of course,! Hey, I don't have to suffer that much!
Yesterday I made some chicken and had three big breasts left over! Mom had gone shopping and found bell peppers on sale so she bought me 6! 3 Red and 3 Yellow ones and they were ripe! What to do with them, what to do?
I decided that I would make some Chicken Fajitas. You would think being that I am Mexican that it would be no problem, but I had never made Chicken Fajitas...so I went to YouTube and found a video by an Englishman by the name of Warren Nash.
Seriously! An Englishman from Nottingham, England who posted a video on how to make Mexican Chicken Fajitas with Mexican Mariachi music playing in the background! I fell in love with this guys accent and the way he said Oregano! So I followed his recipe. An Englishman taught this Mexican to make Fajitas!
First I prepped all my food. Chicken breast cut into strips, hence the name fajitas as fajitas is Spanish for strips. Then cut up onion the way Warren did it, then bell pepper.
While I was cutting up my veggies I marinated the chicken in a bowl with some Olive Oil, the juice of one lemon (I had no lime, sorry Warren), Cumin, Oregano, Salt and Pepper. I changed 2 things from Warrens recipe, I added no sugar since that adds carbs and I added the diced garlic in so that it would marinate with the meat.
Then it was time to get cooking! First I added Olive Oil to my favorite pan and added the onions. I stirred these lovelies for about 10 minutes. Oh the aroma!!!!
My poor mom came by to look in the pan and I told her, wouldn't you love to just put a spoonful of these in a torilla and just eat it? She HATES, DETESTS, DESPISES Onion! She looked at me like I was nuts and said "I wouldn't touch those things even with that wooden spoon!" I guess I don't have to share with her then, do I?
While they were caramelizing I decided to do something different from Warren, just cause I was feeling the Mexican blood boiling in my veins from the scent of the onions and I tossed in some chopped Jalapeno. Next time I'm leaving the seeds in!
I will tell you that at this point Warren adds the chicken. But maybe his chickens are not as juicy in Nottingham, England because I know now that at this point I would take the onions and jalapenos out of the pan and just saute the chicken alone in the drippings as it let out quite a bit of juice so the onions got more boiled than caramelized!
You can see that the onions are almost translucent in the photo above, I wanted them caramelized. But live and learn right? So I added the peppers and stirred and stirred, doesn't take long, maybe 10 to fifteen minutes since the chicken is sliced thinly into "fajtas"!
Voila! Chicken Fajitas as taught to me by Warren Nash, a Nottingham Englishman! Not bad for an Englishman and a Mexican right?
But no one had to teach me how to eat these babies! Just heated myself up a low-carb tortillas, added fajitas and guacamole...oh yeah, wait! I made guacamole. Just a simple one. Normally I add Jalapeno and Diced tomato but I wanted the Fajitas to be front and center.
Voila! Let's try this again, the finished product. Muy delicioso, Old Chap!

Unlike your Mom, I do like onions both in salads and in cooking .ReplyDelete
I'm not surprised that an englishman can cook a mexican dish as well as, if not better than an authentic mexican. It reminds me of pizza. When I was in Naples, Italy, which is considered the motherland of the pizza, I felt deeply disappointed with the quality of the local pizza. Even italian tourists in Israel claim that our pizza is much tastier than the original.
Your description of the preparation and cooking of the chicken fajitas, and the pictures with the plates of ingredients, are just awsome!
I love those colorful peppers!ReplyDelete
Reading this has now made me crave fajitas...I haven't had them in YEARS!ReplyDelete
DUTA, I love onions! Cooked or rare! But I didn't know I liked onions until I became a grown up and got married because we never had onions at home. Mom didn't like them so I assumed I didn't like them either!ReplyDelete
I think that love of cooking and love of food crosses all borders! I loved hearing his accent and hearing the Mexican music in the background, I just thought that was so cool!
Thank you for your kind words on my post. I mostly put it into words and pictures so I can remember how to do it again next time. That's why I put those tips in about how I would do it differently next time. It's easier to find the recipe this way and easier than writing it down longhand! Always a pleasure DUTA!
Diane AZ - I love peppers, I can eat them just like chips. I love cooking with them when I can find them in varied colors like that :)ReplyDelete
Optimistic Existentialist - Well then this post is for you! I would love to read about how you make them!ReplyDelete


text: This is my first non-keyboard phone, so bear with me as I get accustomed to the UI. However, two issues are really bothering my use of this phone: The standby mode is very cumbersome. To save the battery, I understand it has to go into a reduced-power mode, but I can't tolerate the two-step: power button, then swipe the unlock icon. Similarly, answering a call with one hand is too hard. If I am at home and have a drink in my left hand and only have one hand to manage the phone, getting the swipe right is a real pain - I have missed calls because I couldn't manage it. Every other phone I have had (dozens) enabled "any-key" answer. Any tricks I am missing? Thanks!

Lima, Peru, Jul 28, 2011 / 01:56 pm (CNA).- Spanish Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera recently recommended that Catholics receive Communion on the tongue, while kneeling.
"It is to simply know that we are before God himself and that He came to us and that we are undeserving," the prefect of the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments said in an interview with CNA during his visit to Lima, Peru.
The cardinal's remarks came in response to a question on whether Catholics should receive Communion in the hand or on the tongue.
He recommended that Catholics "receive Communion on the tongue and while kneeling."
Receiving Communion in this way, the cardinal continued, "is the sign of adoration that needs to be recovered. I think the entire Church needs to receive Communion while kneeling."
"In fact," he added, "if one receives while standing, a genuflection or profound bow should be made, and this is not happening."

A New York-based artist (or "fartist") who goes by the name Hanksy recently created some humorous pop culture graffiti. In order to do so, he organized a secret illegal art show in an abandoned New York City building. The works included pun-filled graffiti on brick walls of famous figures and cleverly labeled everyday products.
One example of graffiti includes what appears to be a Valentine's Day card with Corey from Boy Meets World on it; he is depicted saying "I'd like Tobangya!" Likewise, rapper Kendrick Lama is illustrated in the form of a golden snitch from the Harry Potter films. "Bitch don't kill my Snitch" is written next to the image. As for the everyday products, an example includes an old sink with the words "or swim" painted inside of it.

I couldn't help myself and named them Laura, Caroline, Mary and Grace. They'll be up in my etsy shop at 11 today in the Handmade Originals section (if that section doesn't show up on the sidebar then they're sold out).
The Little House dolls are beautiful! I love your creations. Speaking of that, my daughter is thrilled with the Clara and Nutcracker from Land of Nod that you designed. I had hoped that you would make these available after seeing your original creation a few years ago. My ballerina daughter (who was in the Nutcracker this year) loved getting it on Christmas morning.
