Carole Lombard: Sexiest of Hollywood's Icons?
VP at Carole & Co has just shared this delicious photo of Carole Lombard, along with the comment: (and I hope you don't mind if I quote, VP) "This publicity still was deemed so steamy that the Hays office forbade its distribution -- and this came a few months before the Code was strictly enforced. To my mind, it's the sexiest still Lombard ever made."
VP has thrown down the gauntlet...
The Hays code left me convinced that no-one before my parents' generation enjoyed sex, so I love it when I come across photos of Hollywood stars that explode this myth.
Here are the best Lombard pics I could find. Do share if you have any better.

Thank you for the plug, first of all.
Is Carole Lombard the sexiest of Hollywood's icons? Obviously that's all subjective, and I'm certain fans of Harlow, Hayworth, Monroe and many others would put in a word for their favorites.
What I love about Lombard isn't just her sexuality and beauty, both of which are considerable, but her timelessness. There's a sensibility about her style and personality that transcends her era. (Moreover, there are many stories about her generosity and down-to-earth attitude that explain why she was so beloved in the film community.)
If we had a time machine, went back to 1936, gathered all of Hollywood's star actresses in a room, then transported them all forward to 2008, I sense Carole would be among those with the least difficulty adjusting.

I have to agree utterly with your comment. Of course the greatest recommendation of both her character and her sensuality is the fact that she was the love of Clark Gable's life - surely, to be loved by a God, one must be a Goddess! :)
I really want to read more about Lombard - can you suggest a good book to start with?

The definitive Lombard bio has yet to be written. "Screwball" by Larry Swindell comes closest, but it's 33 years old. As stated elsewhere, Garson Kanin's "Hollywood" has some splendid Lombard anecdotes.
And if I may plug my own product, my blog "Carole & Co." has a lot of entries on her life and times:

Dawn went to the Chicago Quilt show & uploaded a ton of photos onto her webshots (please use the hyperlink to get to her blog & the webshots if you care to see them!) this was one of them. Sorry I have no idea who made the quilt but I love the setting!
I have a Sharon Malec appliqued cat similar to the one shown here:
appliqed to beautiful skydye fat quarter & no idea what to do with it! I now think that I could replace the center block with my cat and use this general idea to make a quilt with the block. Maybe add a cat quote & some cat named blocks... maybe some pieced cat blocks or mice blocks... Maybe just some cat fabric...
I actually have two Sharom Malec Cats here is the other one:
Distinctive Pieces vase of roses as I have that kit too. You can see it here:
(The cat is prepared, the roses are in a bag... I am not sure if I ever found a bakground - if so I hope it is in the bag too...)
BTW I remembered my camera, but forgot the cable...

An excellent way to decrease stress is to step out of oneself and focus on helping others. The more we volunteer, the happier we feel. Volunteering increases self-confidence when you are doing good for others and the community.
Community Involvement is the process of engaging in conversation and collaboration with community members. This past Saturday, I volunteered a couple of hours at the Pasadena NAACP office on North Lincoln Avenue, which was facilitated by Dr. Del Yarbrough, acting president of the Pasadena NAACP, and visionary. The purpose of the meeting was to bring community leaders together to brainstorm around the possibility of developing a definitive program where the significant amount of resources in the greater Pasadena area may be better focused on the children, youth, and adults with the greatest needs.
I must say, I was surprised and impressed with the number of individuals who turned out for an early Saturday morning meeting. In attendance were esteemed local leaders such as Dr. Robert H. Bell, Senior Vice President/Assistant Superintendent, Pasadena City College, Dr. Brian McDonald, Superintendent, PUSD, and Lola Osborne, Deputy Director Human Services, City of Pasadena, as well as many more. Dr. Yarbrough prepared a down-home style continental breakfast with coffee and juices for our delight. The meeting was held in the main conference room around an executive style table that allowed for much participation. The critical area identified for discussion came out of the program modules or components which were exposure, academics, leadership development, and service.
Although this was the first step in addressing a prodigious task, we unanimously agreed to save our youth and young adults from going down a too familiar destructive path and having a feeling of no alternative or no way out are well worth one's time and effort. The meeting ended on a very positive note with much conversation and excitement regarding "to do's" and "follow-ups" to be addressed during the next meeting.
Our community has a plethora of opportunities where you can make a difference. It doesn't have to be as extraordinary as the one mentioned in this article. No matter how big or small, there's strength in the power of oneness. Here are several ways you can help your local community while improving your health. You can volunteer in your churches, schools, neighborhoods, non-profits, youth sports, and many others … Simply go to Google and search "volunteering opportunities in Pasadena, CA."

Tech-Up or Die Trying: Can Crisis Precipitate Rapid Technological Growth?
Imagine if humanity had to rapidly accelerate it's technological development for its own survival against an alien threat.
The premise is simple: humanity faces a scenario that could force us to overlook all ethical and philosophical considerations in the creation of highly advanced technologies that may prolong our existence on this planet. Technologies that would normally require massive amount of funding and resource allocation suddenly become top priority: everything from AGI, to self-replicating nanobots could be developed with little considerations outside of a "save us" imperative.
In a "Tech-up or Die Trying" scenario predicated on an encounter with a threatening alien species, all resources could be used to guide the progress of humanity's technological development for the sake of survival. Various possibilities could result from this scenario, forever altering the course of our species' technological growth.
Exotechnology: Knowledge of Alien Technology
For strategic reasons, our technology might have been hacked "guided" to be compatible with the alien species systems - by infiltration at corporate and government sectors.
Alien Cybernetics
One could only speculate the type of relationship an alien life form may have with it's own technology - but it is likely that a sufficiently advanced biological species could merge itself with silicon (pictured above).

Grads improve
shootout record to 3-0 with win over Jr. Sens
By Fred Sherwin
Orléans Online
The Cumberland
Grads are proving to be masters of the shootout after registering their
third shootout win of the season on Sunday.
After battling
each other to a 1-1 tie through three regulation periods and a five minute
overtime session, the Grads and the Ottawa Jr. Senators went back to their
benches to prepare for the shootout.
David Walters
was first up for the Jr. Senators and Adam Laderoute easily turned him away.
The Grads first shooter was Michael Borkowski who promptly beat Niels-Erik
Ravn top corner for his second shootout goal in three attempts this season.
After Maxime
Pilon and Greg Sartoretto both failed to score on their respective attempts
it was up to former Cumberland Grad prospect Andrew Newell to keep the Jr.
Sens alive.
After skating
in on Laderoute, Newell quickly shifted the puck to his backhand and tried
to score short-side only to have the Grads goaltender stick out his left
pad.to block the shot and preserve the win for the home team.
Newell factored
in the Jr. Sens opening goal at the 4:15 mark of the first period when he
head-manned the puck into the Grads end which led to a scramble outside
the crease with Matt White banging home the loose puck.
The Grads bounced
back to even the score a little over five minutes later on an unassisted
effort by Mitch Gallant who benefitted from a msicue by Jr. Sens defenceman
David Walters who had the puck bounce over his stick at the Cumberland blueline.
With the score
tied 1-1 the two goalies took over, shutting the door the rest of the way.
Ravn turned away 22 shots over the final two periods, while Laderoute stopped
all 15 shots fired his way.
With the win,
the Grads improved their record to 14-6-0 good enough for second place in
the Yzerman Division. They're one point back of the Pembroke Lumber Kings
who have three games in hand, and three points up on the Nepean Raiders
who have two games in hand.
The Grads next
game is this Tuesday night at the Navan Memorial Arena against the Gloucester
Rangers. Faceoff time is 7 p.m.

We dug deep into unmet customer needs, jobs to be done and market dislocations to help a bio-tech reimagine customer journeys and navigate into new high-growth markets.
This cutting-edge biotech company offers a portfolio of proprietary engineered medical products that use naturally occurring substances to resemble many of the human body's own healing properties. Ultimately, increased global demand for essential raw materials dramatically increased production costs and product prices. As cost-conscious customers reverted to older, lower-cost alternatives, the company faced radically reduced growth rates and deteriorating business fundamentals in its core markets.
The company engaged Opptiv in a customer discovery, mapping and revenue acceleration engagement focused on rapidly developing a new growth strategy, business model and go-to-market/go-to-customer solutions. Through crowd-sourced engagement with third-party experts, and across the science, research, functional and customer-facing elements of the company, we deployed an automated survey instrument to generate a series of customer needs maps. The maps helped all stakeholders visualize and understand current/prospective customer journeys, customer needs, jobs to be done, competitive gaps and product strengths and weaknesses, and how they affected the company's positioning and future growth prospects. We then facilitated across the multi-disciplinary core team to design a new business model, revenue streams, future growth platform and market development strategy built around new customer persona targets, reimagined customer journeys and updated value propositions followed by testing and rationalizing them against customer needs maps of the company's relative strengths, weaknesses, asset positioning, competitive forces and market dynamics.
Based on the new insights into unmet customer needs and jobs to be done, the company developed and is successfully executing a new multi-platform, multi-year enterprise growth strategy, go-to-market strategy and go-to-customer campaigns that has produced significant results that includes: 15% revenue growth in its existing market space based on a new channel strategy; identification and positioning of its existing technology in an entirely new market segment that is growing at over 70% annually with minimal competition; and an 1-year reduction of 25% in the company's overall cost of sales/revenue ratio.the_field('gs_hdr_tagline',get_the_ID());?>

Salt Damage to Plants, and Plants That Can Tolerate Salt
by admin
Using salt on roadways and sidewalks has become a common practice of improving the safety conditions of travel during snow and ice storms. Unfortunately, this practice can induce unfavorable horticultural conditions once winter has ended. This article will explain why salt can damage live plants and list several salt-tolerant plants that are recommended by William Quinn and Sons, Inc.
Salt damage conditions can easily be confused with drought and scorch stress. The reason being: salt attracts moisture, keeping the live plants and grass from getting the nourishment they need. These affects are visible in early spring, before drought conditions are even an issue.
There are, however, plants that are able to more easily withstand salt damage and can be more safely planted near roadways. They are:
– Birches
– Honeysuckle
– Spruces
– White and Red Oak
– Poplars and Aspens
– Vanhoutte's Spirea
On the other hand, the following plants are NOT very salt resistant and should not be planted near roadways where they may be doused with calcium:
– Red and Sugar Maples
– Most pines and firs
– Burning bush
– Dogwoods
– Lindens
– Yews
– Viburnums

Economic recession: Saraki seeks Nigerians' understanding
…Says Better Days Coming
President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, yesterday sought understanding from Nigerians, assuring that the country would in no distant time overcome the current economic recession.
He said the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration was aware of the economic predicament of Nigerians, just as he said measures were being put in place to cushion the effect of the hardship.
Fielding questions from State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa yesterday, Saraki, however urged Nigerians to join hands with the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to enable it provide succour for the people.
He also wished Nigerians, especially the Muslim faithful, a happy Sallah celebration, promising that the country would continue to see better legislations as the National Assembly resumed plenary later this month.

The device identifies an occupied space as well as checking whether the car is a legitimate car-share vehicle. If not, an LED screen issues a warning that the space is only for car-share cars.
If the warning is ignored an email or SMS is sent to parking rangers and the car share scheme administrators.
The project is based around an Arduino microprocessor connected to the internet.
'BitVest' is built entirely in PHP and MYSQL. Within each game, users make strategic deposits. Three percent of each deposit is held by BitVest until enough deposits are made, determined by the time of the round.
Once enough deposits are made in any round, initial deposits receive an 125 percent return on their initial outlay.

Sent to me today by a friend. Thought I'd share it with you. 🙂
A store that sells husbands has just opened where a woman
may go to choose a husband from among many men. The
store is composed of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive
attributes as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may
choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go
back down except to exit the building.
So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 – These men have jobs.
The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better
than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?"
So up she goes.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 – These men have jobs and love kids.
The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's
further up?" And up she goes again.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 – These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good
looking. "Hmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"
The fourth floor sign reads:
Floor 4 – These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking
and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very
tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up
another flight.
The fifth floor sign reads:
Floor 5 – These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking,
help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy
me! But just think… what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to
the sixth floor she goes.
The sixth floor sign reads:
Floor 6 – You a re visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no
men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are
impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at The Husband Store and
have a nice dayAdvertisements

Episode 8, "The Ex Factor". This week: James' final episode on the show. Sniff! In fact, it's today (US time) or tomorrow (my time). I'm almost not feeling like watching it because I want to savour this - yet it sounds like a really interesting episode, so I will probably be squeeing tomorrow. I hope.
Grant meets Beverly Barlowe. We're continuing from the same scene that the last episode ended with; Barlowe has been waiting a long time - in fact she says "we have been waiting", so you can tell it's not just her. In the original timeline, she was working for some evil corporation that had infiltrated Eureka. But I'm not sure what to make of her in this timeline. She's played by Debrah Farentino, who can really do that devious "can you trust me or can't you? Either way I'm very tempting" smirk. She reminds me of Marcia Cross.
Grant is not sure what to think - his smile reads kind of like "I want to show you that I'm no fool, although really I believe you and am freaked out." Another layered expression from James here. Awesome.
And here he's beginning to truly believe her and has to show it, because it's so shocking. Turns out Beverly is the daughter of Adam Barlowe, Grant's old friend. They had an ideal together - they wanted to prevent another nuclear bomb from happening.
You can tell Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still fresh in Grant's memory. (And they would be, since for him only two years have passed.) This is really good and accurate for a 40's person.
Adam has been dead for ten years, but Beverly is continuing his legacy. Global Dynamics are preparing a weapon that would wipe out all electronics for a whole country - "a weapon of control". Grant can't believe this.
Let's stop here for a moment, because I'm very, very happy with this plot. I've been hoping for something like this all season, and my only regret is that it comes so late. This gives Grant an actual personality beyond "guy from the 40's". We learn something about who he truly was - an idealist who wanted to use his inventions for the good of mankind. I think we're moving away from "ethically gray" and more onto what James was describing - a good guy. Grant really cares about the greater good, and he's willing to work for the vision he had about the future.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the whole "Grant quits smoking" storyline and his indulgent side; I love the gentlemand and womanizer side too. But what I've wanted to see is some kind of deeper essence or history to him, and here we finally get that. Thank the gods. This was also a consistently good episode, which I enjoyed even outside of the James stuff. It's true of only a couple of episodes - Founder's Day, The New World, and Crossing Over, specifically. So I've ended up enjoying half of the episodes so far. It's really much better than I had expected.
Now for Fargo's barbecue. He's jamming to the music, which is hilarious, like almost everything Neil Grayston does:
Grant shows up a little late. Henry and Grace are still being awesome, and now they're totally falling for each other.
..but there's a powerful electricity thingy and suddenly their ears are hurting. Awww, look at James touching his ears!!! They are so cute and mushroomy. (I actually had a discussion about this once with M, and she said they are totally NOT mushroomy. This is the kind of quality discussion fans have about him.)
(Mushroom. Just saying.)
They toast for "new beginnings", like Carter gleefully hollers. Here we have something I'm not so crazy about: Carter and Allison being all lovey-dovey and Grant ... not really even reacting to it? He doesn't look happy, but there's no real confrontation, and I wished there would be. Oh well.
Later, the device is tested. Grant comes to take a look, and when Zane expresses concern, he agrees. Nobody else seems to care though.
Cheek hollow FTW! I think he's losing a little weight here, which.. I'd say it's a shame but he looks so damn sexy no matter what. Um, yeah, I'm focusing on the plot here, totally.
(It looks a bit like he's going for her ass here. Heh heh. Oh god, I'm mentally 12. I also giggled out loud when Fargo's hallucination called him "Farto". Hah hah, farts. *hangs head in shame* Let's move on.)
So the machine malfunctions and flings Fargo at the wall. But he's fine! Totally! There's this military guy present who's in charge of everything, and Fargo doesn't want him to end the project. Because Fargo is a total kiss ass and can't stand up for himself. Until the end of this episode. It was kind of awesome, actually.
Grant approaches Allison. I loved this scene so much. Their dynamic is a bit different than in Crossing Over - now Grant has the moral high horse and she has to respect that and really defend her view.
Allison is preparing a way to make the nanobots that helped him quit smoking - attack cancer cells. Grant could look a little more impressed at that. But he's still thinking of the device.
A gratuitous shot of her great gams. (Which apparently means legs. I thought at first it meant buttocks. Live and learn.)
Allison: "The DED device?"
Grant: "Well, see you're doing it as well now."
Allison: "Doing what?"
Grant: "Avoiding calling it a weapon."
Allison says this is "a DOD facility". (DOD = Department of Defense"?)
Grant: "Yeah, but it shouldn't be, it's not what I... It's not how we envisioned the place to be."
The pain on his face - is it because his friend is dead, or because he feels so bad about this military Eureka? Either way, it's very touching. Grant is passionate about what he believes in. I love this character so much.
Allison: "I distinctly remember being in 1947 and seeing more soldiers than scientists."
Grant: "That was right after the war! We were trying to get this place off the ground!"
Allison: "So you think we should just scrap the whole project?"
Grant: "I think science should be about discovery, not about who can build the biggest gun!"
OMG, I loved this. There are two points of view here, both presented in an intelligent way. Neither one is condescending; Allison is listening to his views respectfully. The best part: this doesn't read like TV talk, it seems like genuine dialogue. It's a conversation. Bravo!
Allison explains that without things like the "device", they couldn't get funding for things like cancer cures. The nanobots, like Allison reminds him, saved Trevor's life too.
Allison: "I didn't realize we were arguing."
Grant: "I'll let you get back to your work."
Here's a non-James scene I liked so much that I wanted to include it. Because of an energy surge-whatever, everyone who was at the barbecue is seeing a hallucination. A person from their past life, someone they have unresolved issues with. This is the scene where they realize they're hallucinating.
Allison sees Carter's ex Tess, and Carter sees Allison's dead husband, Nathan.
Allison sees Carter's ex Tess, and Carter sees Allison's dead husband, Nathan.
Vince: "What can I get you two?"
Allison and Carter: "...."
Carter: "Do you see someone sitting there?"
Allison: "I see Tess sitting there."
Vince: "Uh.. huh... eh..." *leaves*
Heee! This was a great scene. I loved this hallucination plot overall. It was well executed and fun.
Looking at the device again, James looks very Gaius all of a sudden. Maybe it's the glow of the screens, or the fact that his hair is beginning to grow out.
He suggests shutting down the whole device, because the risks are too high. But the military guy shows up and tells him to go catalogue some books, since he's just a librarian. Oo, burn. -Hey, wait, there's nothing wrong with being a librarian! I don't seem to have any screenshots of Military Guy, but this post is already so big.. OK, just moving on. I'll mention his name though: General Mansfield, played by Barclay Hope.
Grant meets Beverly Barlowe again, and we get to his hallucination: his old friend Adam Barlowe.
Grant: "I did. Seems the department of Defense is calling the shots. Douglas Fargo is a good man, but GD needs someone who can stand up to that."
Barlowe: "Eureka used to have a leader like that."
Grant: "Times have changed. I'm nobody now. I don't even have a name."
Barlowe: "We could give you that voice again, Dr Grant."
I really love the dialogue in this episode. Strong, to the point, dramatic but not overly so.
Adam speaks to him: "We failed to make a difference 40 years ago, Trevor. Now we get a second chance." This is powerful stuff. (He's played by Elias Toufexis. Intriguing name.)
Cheek bones FTW again. (That's the very handsome Niall Matter and the hilarious Neil Grayston next to him. I see I'm beginning to slightly fangirl the other actors on this show too, as the season goes on. Not necessarily a bad thing.)
You can tell he's thinking and feeling conflicted - can he betray his friends for the greater good? He can, and he types in the code Beverly gave him.
"You're lucky to be alive," Fargo says. But he's luckier than that - no one guesses he caused this.
On to another great scene between Grant and Allison. She's healing his hand with some kind of... futuristic Eureka device.
Adam: "Sure, with you she's gentle. Me, she kick starts with jumper cables." Heee! I love that he referred to the first episode. I didn't recognize him as the same guy, actually, so it's a good thing he did.
Allison asks if Grant's hurting, since he's shaking.
"I'm fine," he says in a hoarse voice. "Never better." Aww, 40's macho man.
Adam: "You did the right thing, doc." The other's hallucinations are kinda taunting and haunting, and his is much nicer. Which is a nice departure from HeadSix.
Hallucination-Tess tells Allison: "Look at him! He is adorable. A gentleman and he's safe." In the earlier scene she said, "Seriously, you haven't hit that?" Which is awesome, and yes, the viewers wonder about this too.
Grant realizes Allison is seeing Tess again.
Allison: "What about you? You were at the barbecue. You haven't said anything about who you're seeing."
Adam: "The guy whose life she saved sixty years ago."
Grant: "Tall leggy blonde, slinky red ress." (L)!!!
Allison: "An old girlfriend?"
Grant: "I could tell you about her, over drinks..." but then Carter walks in and his Hallucinatory Nathan goes, "Who the hell is this?" Heee!
Grant: "I could tell you about her, over drinks..." but then Carter walks in and his Hallucinatory Nathan goes, "Who the hell is this?" Heee!
I loved loved loved the BSG reference. I was hoping he'd refer to Gaius at some point. What I like most about it is that it was done subtly, and not in a way that shouts "I PLAYED GAIUS BALTAR IN BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!" Very organic and fitting for the episode. Good job, James. And writers.
And look at them smile at each other!
So Carter and Allison go into the woods to figure out what happened - turns out the whole hallucinatory energy surge thingy was a distraction, so someone - or some group, more likely - gets to smuggle the device out of Eureka.
But who could it be? Someone in the inside must have helped them out. Grant looks suitably guilty but nobody notices...
Beverly admits that they kept some parts of the plan secret. "Plausible deniability, Doctor Grant, that was your mantra."
"We've rebuilt the bridge device. This is a chance for you to do what you intended to do 63 years ago: change the world. We're sending you home."
Wow. OK. So this could be really good, or really bad. My concern is that they just reboot everything back to the original timeline, in which Trevor Grant never even came to 2010. In that case, his role would have been a bit...null and void? I really hope they will at least remember Grant. Since James said he might do a few more episodes, that could mean he's still in the timeline and in their lives in some way. I'm really intrigured and nervous about the next episode, and can't wait for tomorrow when I get to see it.

One may conjecture on Bert Williams' greatness, but there is no question when it comes to Pryor. Ask nearly any comedian and you'll be told that Pryor is the single most important wonder of the world. In fact, many do just that in the booklet that accompanies this nine-CD set. Robin Williams, Chris Rock and Billy Crystal all line up to testify. But more than testimonials, the bits on these recordings are every bit as important in comedy as the Louis Armstrong's Hot Five is in jazz.
Today, Pryor is reduced by multiple sclerosis to a skeleton of his former self. This collection reminds you — literally — about when he had some meat on his boney ass. Where Pryor was a poet in his time, today's comedians just talk dirty. But for all its poetry, I was reminded 20-something years later when my 3-year-old daughter walked into the room while I was listening, that this is adult humor. But seeing as we're all adults here, turn it up and have a laugh.
Check out other box sets full of music and spoken-word greatness which are stocking the shelves this season.

I'm on the Path - Come Join Me!David Warlick had a recent post describing the steps to becoming a 21st Century Literate Educator. In his post, he said he often tells people to read blogs to learn about teaching 21st skills, but he thought it might be more helpful to have a list of specific steps. I was gratified to see many of the things I have experienced on my journey into Web 2.0 and ideas of where I should go next. Check it out and see where you are.
A Path to Becoming a 21st Century Literate Educator — Self Development
1. Find two or more other educators in your school who are interested in learning and using emerging information and communication technologies. It would be of enormous advantage if you can include your schools library media specialist. Done!
2. Identify the appropriate person in your school or district who can provide technical support and configuration for your increasingly utilized computers and network. Bake them some chocolate chip cookies. School's Media Specialist 100% supportive...need to bake cookies for district support personnel.
3. Identify some edu-bloggers who are talking about the emerging ICTs you are considering. See the Bloggers to Learn From wiki, contributed to by a world community of educators. I learn from my edubloggers on twitter and by reading their blogs.
4. Delegate! Assign each member of your team some of the selected blogs to follow, and share specific posts with each other. I still want to read it all myself, but am always recommending great blog posts and talking with team members about what I'm learning.
5. Read, study, and discuss books about teaching and learning and the world we're doing it in. See the Books to Learn From wiki, contributed to by a world community of educators. Yes, yes, yes!
6. Schedule regular meetings (once or twice a month) at a local restaurant, coffee shop, or pizzeria (preferably with WiFi). Meet and discuss what you've learned and what you want to learn. I don't wait for a meeting...I talk my friends ears off in person on through email. :)
7. Start a group del.icio.us (A social bookmarks service) account for organizing and
sharing web resources. Well, I have a del.icio.us account, but hadn't thought of doing a group del.icio.us account.
8. Start a wiki for posting notes, links, and step-by-step instructions. Not yet...
9. Join one or more of the Ning social networks, such as: School 2.0, Library 2.0, Classroom 2.0. I have joined nings myself and am starting one for the teachers at my school - need to deliver chocolate chip cookies to #2 to get site unblocked at work.
10. Start your own blogs for sharing your reflections on what you are learning and how you are learning it. You're reading it!
11. Start experimenting in your class and share the results. Mrs. Holtsman's Class Blog
12. Share your results with other teachers in your school and invite them into your conversation. Done and will continue to do!
13. Start to model, in your job as a teacher, the practice of being a master learner. Always, my ultimate goal...

central park snow with cardinal
its been too cold. the snow was
fat and sticky, the streets icy.
after an errand took me uptown
and the bus turned onto fifth avenue
i was lost. that fat sticky snow
was still thick on the branches,
the trees in shadow...
just have a look at the little guy taking off
in the third from last shot.
i love cardinals in the snow

gorgeous pics! I thought birds fly south for the winter but I guess these cardinals decided to stay.ReplyDelete
hope you're keeping warm. have a great day.
Lovely images of NYC in the snow!ReplyDelete
Wow. Loving these images. What a perfect day to be out with a camera. How do you get those great borders on your photos?ReplyDelete

Love these cold colors and composition. Good work.ReplyDelete
How perfect that those gorgeous little red birds are around when it's snowing.ReplyDelete
I love the red birds in the snow, too. These are gorgeous photos ... if winter weren't such a bear, well, I'd say it's really beautiful when I look at these photos.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 5, 2014 at 8:23 PM
Beautiful. I've never seen a cardinal in real life. They're so fat and sassy.ReplyDelete
Mmmm, three beautiful things that I can enjoy in memory only at least for the time being...fat, fluffy snow, Central Park, and cardinals. Thank you for braving the snow in search of these gorgeous photos!ReplyDelete

|Lego for Girls in the 80s
|Lego for Girls 2013
Don't get me wrong. I was a girly girl. I loved pink and Barbie with an unhealthy obsession! I made Ken kiss Barbie and played house and did all the gender stuff. I was all over it.
But Lego? Honestly it never even occurred to me to want Lego in girly colours or with Barbie like scenes. Lego was a different game all together and I didn't need it to be anything other than it was. Mind you, Lego wasn't also as fixated on building specific creations then either. Lego was about using my imagination to build cars or houses. And I spent hours creating whatever my heart desired with my Lego.
I feel like we're taking a step backwards here. Why do we still constantly feel the need to gender children through toys? What does it say to girls that they can't actually just build shit but that they have to have the perfect home, fashion accessories, etc.?
It's fine that some toys are all about catering to the Princess fantasy of little girls. I get that everything is about moderation and that girls like this stuff. But can we not have some toys just be about creativity beyond gender?
Shit like this makes me happy we're having a boy. Because honestly, I really feel like we're backtracking on feminism.

Behavior of Returned Lunar Soil in Vacuumby W. David Carrier, III, (M.ASCE), Staff Sci.; Planetary and Earth Sci. Div., Johnson Space Ctr., NASA, Houston, TX,
Leslie G. Bromwell, (M.ASCE), Consulting Engr.; Lakeland, FL,
R. Torrence Martin, Sr. Res. Assoc.; Dept. of Civ. Engrg., Massachusetts Inst. of Tech., Cambridge, MA,
Serial Information: Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division, 1973, Vol. 99, Issue 11, Pg. 979-996
Document Type: Journal Paper
Two oedometer and three direct shear tests have been performed in vacuum on a 200-g sample of lunar soil from Apollo 12 (Sample No. 12001, 119). It had been expected that the vacuum environment and clean particle surfaces would cause the lunar soil to have a lower compressibility and a higher shear strength than that of a ground basalt simulant in air. Instead, it is found that the opposite is true; the comrpessibility of the lunar soil is slightly greater and the shear strength is significantly less. This difference is tentatively attributed to the degradation under stress of fragile lunar soil particles such as agglutinates and breccias. Over the range of densities tested, the typical virgin compression index is 0.06 and the friction angle varies from 28 to 35°. Large-scale particle crushing occurs at normal stresses of less than 70 kN/m² (10 psi), and consequently, the Mohr-Coulomb strength envelope should be extremely curved. The shear strength of the other lunar soils at the same void ratio will probably vary according to the proportion of friable particles.

Last Friday we created a Social Networking Site for the company, this week we worked on the actual network. I just spent the last two hours talking about SANS, blade servers, SQL Server Licensing and Active Directory Replication. My white board is covered with names of machines that have lines pointing to them, circling them, and crossing them out. It was quite a bit of fun actually. It was mostly a logic puzzle of available resources and cost of new ones. In the end I think we confirmed that BIL's plan is the best way to go and everything should fall in place pretty nicely for the rest of the IT year. Nothing has been approved in the budget, but there have been nebulous statements that we can expect to get things approved. The Little Boss will want to know what visible improvements he will see and we've got a list of improvements that at least sound good on paper. I'm sure people walking by the office were wondering what we were working on. I thought of joking that it took us that long to figure out where we were going to lunch, but I was afraid someone might believe me.

A Little Something Sweet
Baked Hot Chocolate
A few minutes in the oven turns the winter elixir into a three-layered masterpiece
I've always believed in hot chocolate for dessert—so long as it's ridiculously rich and served in a demitasse cup with something playful, like a peppermint stick. And then I discovered a recipe for Baked Hot Chocolate in "The Essence of Chocolate," by John Scharffenberger and Robert Steinberg, founders of the chocolate manufacturer Scharffen Berger. While I will continue to serve hot chocolate after dinner, this novel concoction is a fun, delicious riff on the original drink.
This recipe is credited to Heidi Friedlander,...

No one wants to bring a beer gut to the beach. Adopting a healthy, low-calorie eating plan and getting regular aerobic exercise is the only way to slim down, but ab exercises can give you the tone you want to show off in swimwear. Even as little as a few days a week of ab exercises can sculpt your stomach region, if you get your body fat percentage down low enough for your muscles to show.
5 Kicking Your Way to Strong Abs
Your ab exercises don't all have to be about appearances. The kickboard exercise helps tighten your tummy and is a functional exercise for when you decide to hit the water. Practice in a pool or out past the waves, if you dare. All you have to do is hold onto a kickboard and start kicking to propel yourself forward. For this to be an ab exercise, keep your body close to the surface of the water. You can also flip over onto your back and perform backstroke kicks.
4 Plank: Don't Walk it, Hold It
The plank exercise teaches you to suck it in—your stomach that is. It works your abdominals in a unique way through spinal stabilization. By holding a fixed position, your abs work hard to stabilize your spine. A great tip is to think of touching your belly button to your spine while in plank position, which activates deep abdominal muscles and tightens them. Roll out your beach towel and get on all fours. Lower yourself onto your forearms and keep both feet back so that your legs and back are straight like a plank.
3 Lying Leg-Hip Raise
The great thing about a swimsuit is it shows off the entire range of your abdomen, from pelvis to rib cage, which are the two places that the rectus abdominis muscle connects. The RA is the main ab muscle. You don't usually see the very top or bottom when wearing clothes, but you will at the beach. Therefore, you should do the lying leg-hip raise to give you complete tone. Just lie on your back with your legs straight and then bend your knees as you bring them toward your chest. You'll actually lift your hips a few inches off the floor before reversing the motion.
2 Bicycle Maneuver for Sexy Sides
Your swimsuit shows off more than just the front of your abdomen, which is why it's important to work on the obliques. The obliques are the ab muscles on the sides of the waist. The bicycle maneuver is one of the most effective exercises for the obliques and the other abdominal muscles. Simply lie on your back with your hands behind your head, knees bent at right angles and thighs perpendicular to the ground. Crunch your shoulders off the floor and start twisting your upper body side-to-side, as if to touch your elbow to your opposite knee, while extending the other leg straight.
1 V-Up: Beach Ball Style
The V-up is a dynamic ab exercise for the upper and lower abs. Adding a ball adds an extra challenge, plus having to pass a ball back and forth ensures that you don't cheat by not going through the full range of motion. Simply lie on your back with your arms straight overhead and then sit up as you bring your legs up toward the ceiling. Pass a ball from your hands to your feet, and then lie back down. Sit up again and pass the ball to your hands. Continue to alternate. Use a beach ball or a stability ball.

If Republicans are surprised that Trump betrayed them, they haven't been paying attention
Paul Ryan, the most intellectually ambitious Republican in Congress, lavishly cites [Arthur] Brooks's book. Over the past few years, Ryan has been promoting a roadmap to comprehensively reform the nation's tax and welfare system.
And despite the tough battle talk, they are combinable. At his best, Ryan wants to cleanse and rejuvenate the nation — to sweep away the special-interest sclerosis that strangles flexibility and growth. At his best, Obama wants to create a context for innovation — to employ blue-collar workers and to spur growth clusters like Silicon Valley, which, let us remember, was a magical cocktail of federal research subsidies, hippie culture, entrepreneurial daring and university settings.
Which brings me to the innovative thinker du jour: Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
Mr. Ryan has become the Republican Party's poster child for new ideas thanks to his "Roadmap for America's Future," a plan for a major overhaul of federal spending and taxes. News media coverage has been overwhelmingly favorable; on Monday, The Washington Post put a glowing profile of Mr. Ryan on its front page, portraying him as the G.O.P.'s fiscal conscience. He's often described with phrases like "intellectually audacious."...
So why have so many in Washington, especially in the news media, been taken in by this flimflam? It's not just inability to do the math, although that's part of it. There's also the unwillingness of self-styled centrists to face up to the realities of the modern Republican Party; they want to pretend, in the teeth of overwhelming evidence, that there are still people in the G.O.P. making sense. And last but not least, there's deference to power — the G.O.P. is a resurgent political force, so one mustn't point out that its intellectual heroes have no clothes.
But they don't. The Ryan plan is a fraud that makes no useful contribution to the debate over America's fiscal future....
Paul Ryan's Dance With The Donald
Among the Republicans going along with Donald Trump's takeover of their party, the House speaker, Paul Ryan, has made a tortuous art — a zigzag of maybes, yes-buts and oh, I guess sos — of protecting his interests en route to capitulating to the inevitable at the nominating convention.
By supporting the Trump candidacy, Mr. Ryan has revealed himself to be a weak opportunist, far from the ideas man and budget wonk he made himself out to be when he secured the vice-presidential nomination four years ago. It probably hasn't been easy to engage in the political casuistry needed to simultaneously reject and embrace Mr. Trump.
While condemning Mr. Trump's more hateful utterances, Mr. Ryan has been careful never, ever to criticize Mr. Trump himself...
"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."

To the Editor:
Perhaps John Harvey (Letter to the Editor Nov. 22) would like the answers to the following two questions concerning "red-shirting." Number one - Who was one of the pioneer perpetrators among college coaches of the "red- shirting" practice? Number two - According to Ned Bolcar, why hasn't he played a single down for Notre Dame this year even though he was suited for every game?
Answers: Number one - Knute Rockne of Notre Dame; Number two - Ned Bolcar said he was informed he was being "red-shirted."

North Port Couple Pleads Guilty To Filing A False Tax Refund Claim
Tampa, FL – United States Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III announces that North Port residents James Dee Jaeger (62) and Lora Anne Jaeger (50) each pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of filing a false claim for tax refund. Each faces a maximum penalty of 5 years in federal prison.
According to the plea agreement, on March 31, 2009, James Dee Jaeger and Lora Anne Jaeger electronically filed a joint federal income tax return with the IRS falsely claiming a refund in the amount of $344,672. The false refund amount was based on a bogus theory that the U.S. banking system maintains "Remic Trust" accounts for U.S. citizens and that taxpayers can gain access to the accounts by issuing 1099-OID forms to the IRS. Under this theory, the taxpayer first files a false Form 1099 Original Issue Discount (OID), to justify a false refund claim on a corresponding tax return. In this case, the IRS did not issue the fraudulent tax refund claimed by the Jaegers.
This case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Matthew J. Mueller and Trial Attorney Kevin C. Lombardi of the Department of Justice, Tax Division.

Help! I Need Somebody!
by Ellie McHale
Hey Lil' Biscuits!!! Hope all is well out there in the world!
I'm coming to you today to ask for a huge favor. While music & writing are huge passions of mine, photography is something I'm trying to actually persue as a way of making money (even if it is just a hobby I'm getting paid for). Come to think of it, my dream job is to travel around the world, talk to people about their cultures & sense of community, figure out what makes them happy, use music as a communication tool when words fail us, hope they'll allow me to take their pictures, and relay our stories onto paper to share with everyone else. That's just a dream, but one I hope to accomplish by the time I'm 70. I've got 39 years to do that.
While we're on the topic of a sense of community, my favor I am asking is that you, any of you, donate a dollar, 5 dollars, any kind of dollar amount to my project & general startup that is Ellie McHale Photography. Right now, tangible rewards are limited. A few high ticket donations will get 30 lucky people a (tasteful) print or two of mine (of my choosing), along with a thankful shout out here & a YouTube shout out. Everyone else will get, at least, a thankful plug here, possibly a video of acknowledgement on YouTube. Yes. I will get in front of a camera, show my face to the world, and talk to you, funny accent and all.
So, please, if you find a sliver of compassion and/or the giving spirit, please mosey over to my fundraising page and help a sister out. I promise that any monetary donation will be used on nothing but photography equipment & photography business related items. For example, I will spend said donations on photography software, memory cards, extra batteries for my camera, website hosting to show my work, printing supplies, actual prints for my portfolio, lenses, printer(s), paper, ink, flash(es), lighting, studio equipment, etc..

The little thing's
The days have been busy and long in the Tyler home this year. I am learning what it's like to juggle a larger photography work load, add a second business, not to mention an extra child all at once.
This year Mother's day for me, will have a much deeper meaning.
Younger Alex would stay up all night, and sleep till 10am. Alex of one child would sleep less, but she had sleep. Busy mom of two Alex is exhausted! But blissfully happy.
I won't lie, those mornings,( like today) when I have had two hours of sleep aren't easy. But, how many people get to live this life, and take this opportunity I have been given? I should never forget the little things. Like staying home with a successful business, or how happy this lil' guy is when I get him from nap. He looks at me like a rock-star every time! A big grin just like his Daddies, and I don't have to miss a moment. "Thank You Jesus!" is all I can think.
Today's Mantra?
"Pour yourself another cup of white tea, rub some dirt in it, and don't forget the little things"...
Enjoy this warm hug from us!

Manage my time more effectively to be able to experiment more with designs and processes more as I believe this will benefit the end results of my work.
Spend less time blogging and more time designing, although both are equally important I found myself researching more than I necessary needed considering I kew what designs I wanted to produce initially.
Start designs sooner as a posed to leaving them until last minute/ with less tim to achieve the results I want.
Allow myself to enjoy the work and not get too stressed as both can be reflected in the work.

About Children's services franchises
Though there are profits to be made by providing services to parents by working or playing with their children, many franchisees find their job so fulfilling that they refuse to call it 'work'.
If you love the idea of a children's service franchise, there are many types to choose from: educational franchise, kids parties, art, music and drama franchises, soft play, fitness and wellbeing businesses, as well as after- and pre-school child care franchise opportunities!
Home-based and part-time children's service franchise opportunities are available in the UK and are ideal for women / mothers who are looking to fit their work-life in with their family commitments.

The Little Jackal and The Alligator
The little Jackal was very fond of shell-fish. He used to go down by the river and hunt along the edges for crabs and such things. And once, when he was hunting for crabs, he was so hungry that he put his paw into the water after a crab without looking first, — which you never should do! The minute he put in his paw, snap ! — the big Alligator who lives in the mud down there had it in his jaws.
"Oh, dear!" thought the little Jackal; "the big Alligator has my paw in his mouth! In another min ute he will pull me down and gobble me up! What shall I do? what shall I do?" Then he thought, sud denly, "I'll deceive him!"
So he put on a very cheerful voice, as if nothing at all were the matter, and he said, –
"Ho! ho! Clever Mr. Alligator! Smart Mr. Alliga tor, to take that old bulrush root for my paw! I hope you'll find it very tender!"
The old Alligator was hidden away beneath the mud and bulrush leaves, and he couldn't see any thing. He thought, "Pshaw ! I've made a mistake." So he opened his mouth and let the little Jackal go.
The little Jackal ran away as fast as he could, and as he ran he called out, –
"Thank you, Mr. Alligator! Kind Mr. Alligator! So kind of you to let me go!"
The old Alligator lashed with his tail and snapped with his jaws, but it was too late; the little Jackal was out of reach.
After this the little Jackal kept away from the river, out of danger. But after about a week he got such an appetite for crabs that nothing else would do at all; he felt that he must have a crab. So he went down by the river and looked all around, very carefully. He didn't see the old Alligator, but he thought to himself, "I think I'll not take any chances." So he stood still and began to talk out loud to himself. He said, –
"When I don't see any little crabs on the land I most generally see them sticking out of the water, and then I put my paw in and catch them. I won der if there are any fat little crabs in the water to-day?"
The old Alligator was hidden down in the mud at the bottom of the river, and when he heard what the little Jackal said, he thought, "Aha! I'll pretend to be a little crab, and when he puts his paw in, I'll make my dinner of him." So he stuck the black end of his snout above the water and waited.
The little Jackal took one look, and then he said, — "Thank you, Mr. Alligator! Kind Mr. Alligator! You are exceedingly kind to show me where you are! I will have dinner elsewhere." And he ran away like the wind.

Missouri Lawmakers Pass Payday Loan Bill
Missouri has become the latest state to pass changes to payday loans. A measure to eliminate renewals on payday loans and decrease fees and interest that lenders may charge was given final approval by the Missouri Senate on Thursday.
The Senate voted 26-4 to end the changes to Governor Jay Nixon.
Borrowers in Missouri are allowed to renew a payday loan up to six times under current law with interest rates up to 75% of the loan amount. Payday loans may be up to $500 and last between 4 and 31 days.
The new law would end these renewals completely and cap fees and interest at 35%. Lenders would also be required to post their fees and interest charged per $100 borrowed in their lobby, and an option for an extended payment plan could be authorized before the loan's maturity to avoid additional fees and interest.
Supporters say the bill would protect consumers from becoming trapped in debt. Lawmakers have had mixed feelings about the changes. Some believe it is just a good first step but more must be done.
Missouri residents use payday loans more than most people in the country. According to a Pew Charitable Trusts report last year, 11% of Missourians take out payday loans, a higher percentage than every state but Oklahoma, where 13% of residents use payday loans.
Several states are now attempting to regulate the payday loan industry and are being met with challenges. Last week, a Louisiana bill that would have regulated payday lending in the state met its demise.
Interest rates in Louisiana — with an average APR of 435% — are among the highest in the U.S. 23% of households in the state take out a payday loan in a year. There are about 936 payday lenders in the state. The Louisiana bill would have capped interest rates at 36% a year. State senators rejected the bill and several different strategies, arguing it would harm the industry.
State laws governing payday loans currently vary wildly between states. Some states, including North Carolina, Arizona, Arkansas, and Georgia, prohibit payday loans completely. Eight states, including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, do not have specific provisions or require payday lenders to comply with general loan interest rate caps. 38 states, among them Louisiana, have statutes that allow payday lending specifically. Only four of thee states — New Hampshire, Ohio, Montana, and Colorado — have strict regulations on interest rates.

Hamilton roads second most dangerous for pedestrians in Ont.
Hamilton pedestrians and cyclists are at higher risk of getting hit by cars than the provincial average, and Hamilton has one of the highest rates of pedestrian deaths in the province.
The numbers come from new data from the Social Planning and Research Council, which is looking at the number of pedestrian deaths per 100,000 pedestrian and transit commuters.
It kind of explains why we have a lower rate of cyclist commuters in Hamilton.- Sarah Mayo, SPRC
Sara Mayo, a social planner with the council, found that Hamilton is second only to Windsor for the number of pedestrians who die while walking, usually by getting hit by vehicles.
She also found that Hamilton pedestrians are as much as 42 per cent more likely to be injured compared to the Ontario rate. The risk to cyclists can be as much as 81 per cent higher than the provincial average.
Join CBC Hamilton for a Live Chat on Hamilton road safety with Sara Mayo, Thursday, Nov. 7 at noon. Send in your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com, or tweet at @CBCHamilton.
"It kind of explains why we have a lower rate of cyclist commuters in Hamilton," she said. "Obviously if people felt safer, there'd be more cyclists on the road."
Mayo will present some of these findings at a general issues committee meeting Wednesday, when councillors will debate a new pedestrian mobility plan that aims to change street design to incorporate the needs of pedestrians and make walking safer.
She compiled the data using the 2010 Ontario Road Safety Report, Hamilton's Traffic Safety Report and the most recent census data.
Looking at multiple years, she found that vehicle collisions are down in Hamilton, but pedestrian and cyclist injuries have stayed roughly the same since 2001.
Mayo isn't certain on the reason for the higher rate, except that Hamilton needs more pedestrian and bicycle-friendly streets. She's compiling a map of risky roads in the city, and the injuries happen all over Hamilton, she said.
Changing street design
The pedestrian mobility plan is a weighty 244-page document. It's been in the works for about two years, said Steve Molloy, project manager of Hamilton's transportation master plan implementation. Traditional street design, the report says, plans for the needs of cars with "the remaining space left over at the edges... used to accommodate pedestrian and cycling needs.'" This plan builds needs of walkers and bikers right into the design and planning.
Its recommendations include:
- Buffer areas between the street and sidewalks.
- A minimum sidewalk width of 1.5m, wide enough for two pedestrians to pass each other.
- Sidewalks on both sides of the street in subdivisions to encourage more people to walk.
- Pedestrian countdown and audible signals for urban and industrial areas.
- Illuminating pedestrian crossings and street signals in urban areas.
- Increasing winter maintenance in urban and suburban areas.
Mayo's report will highlight six pedestrian deaths in the last year, including an 85-year-old man struck at Barton Street East and Kenora on Aug. 30 and Zoe Nudell, 33, who was jogging when an alleged impaired driver hit her at Charlton East and Wentworth South on Oct. 30.
The general issues committee begins at 9:30 a.m. at city hall. Reporter Samantha Craggs will tweet live at @SamCraggsCBC.

Star TV Turkey offers a variety of Turkish shows and programs including "Muhte?em Yüzy?l Kösem," "Evleneceksen Gel," "Paramparça," "Ezgi Sertel ile Lezzetin Haritas?" and "Hat?rla Gönül," as of 2015. Star TV is also known for airing a variety of popular American series such as "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "The Bold and the Beautiful," and "Married… with Children" among others.
The popular series "Paramparça" is a Turkish drama involving a switched-at-birth plot line. It stars Nurgül Ye?ilçay as Gülseren-Guzel Sönmez Gülpinar and Erkan Petekkaya as Cihan Gürp?nar. The show is in Turkish and is scheduled to run for two seasons and 36 episodes. It premiered on December 1, 2014 with season one and is expected to end in June 2016.
Cem Uzan and Ahmet Ozal started Star TV in 1989 with the name Magic Box. Star TV became the first private channel in Turkey. In the early 1990s it was known as Star Magic Box due to Star 1 being copyrighted. Star TV later also became the first Turkish channel to begin broadcasting a digital signal in 1999. In 2004, Star TV was auctioned to pay debts owed by the Uzan Group. It was bought by Isil Television Broadcasting Corporation of Dogan Media Group in 2005.

Here's a trick my husband taught me.
When browning ground meat (in this case it was ground turkey for tacos) use a potato masher to break up the bits and get smaller, more evenly chopped up pieces.
I still use a spatula to get started since it can easily flip the meat over to brown both sides.
Here is what my meat looked like after chopping it up with the spatula.
And here is how much more finely chopped it is after using the potato masher. I'm not sure this picture does it justice, but there really is a difference.
Anyone else have a clever kitchen tip or trick they'd like to share?
Thanks for stopping by,

Earnhardt Jr. gains from Kenseth's misfortune
INDIANAPOLIS -- If it's true that "one man's loss is another man's gain," Dale Earnhardt Jr. was easily the biggest beneficiary of Matt Kenseth's misfortune Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
When Kenseth couldn't avoid smacking into Joey Logano's out-of-control car with 26 laps remaining -- and Earnhardt went on to finish fourth -- it resulted in major implications at the top of the Sprint Cup points standings.
The resulting 30-point swing meant Earnhardt left Indianapolis with a 14-point lead over Kenseth, the first time he's led the points this late in the season since 2004. It also left Kenseth frustrated with the way things played out once he wound up deep in the field after losing track position on a pit stop.
"We got back there and some guys were driving pretty crazy," Kenseth said. "I guess at the very end of it,"[Trevor Bayne and Regan Smith] were mad at each other and running into each other and then [Logano] was trying to pass [Bayne] and just lost control of his car."
Kenseth went to the high side in the short chute between Turns 1 and 2 in a valiant but ultimately futile attempt to avoid Logano's spinning car. He climbed from his damaged car, put on his ball cap, angrily tossed his gloves and shoe heel protectors inside the cockpit and waited for the mandatory ride to the infield medical center.
"Yeah, it is frustrating," Kenseth said. "I got hung out on the restart, which is one thing. I was trying to get through there, and [Tony Stewart] wiped the whole side off my car in the straightaway for no reason and that kind of made me mad.
"I was in front of [Marcos Ambrose] and saw he had a run, so I went down to block and he went across the grass and shot me up out of the groove there. It is crazy there at the end. You could see the wreck happening, and I was just hoping I wasn't going to be in it."
As frustrated as Kenseth was with his day, Earnhardt's elation was evident in the way he described his ninth top-five season of the season. That leaves him just one behind Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson. And it was his 21st consecutive lead-lap finish, which ties the all-time record held by another Hendrick teammate, Jeff Gordon.
That's pretty good company, when you consider those two have cmbined for nine Cup championships.
"I'm proud of that because it says a lot about our body of work," Earnhardt said. "All season long, we've been working hard and finishing well. That is symbolic of how well we've done. I'm proud of that. I have felt that way about our position in points all season long."
Earnhardt's goal in 2012 is to add his name to that list. Leading the points right now is all fine and dandy, but you don't have to be a student of history to realize how race wins trump consistency. All you have to do is look back to last season, when Stewart won five times in the Chase to overcome Carl Edwards, who strung together nine top-10 finishes during that same span.
Earnhardt certainly paid attention, and that's primarily his focus as this year's Chase looms in the distance.
"We need to win more races," he said. "If we want to win the championship, we have to. I imagine we can win a couple races in the Chase. I don't know if finishing fourth or fifth is going to do it. We'll just have to see. We'd like to step it up just a little bit more."
He definitely stepped it up Sunday at a track which has been difficult for him, to say the least. His previous best finish was sixth in 2006.
That was clearly on Earnhardt's mind all weekend long. With the improvement on the track, there's a new-found desire to achieve where achievements previously have been lacking. One place where he felt he could make major improvement was at the Brickyard.
"We were looking forward to this race," Earnhardt said. "I want to run well here, want to win this race, want to get a trophy here and go to Victory Lane."
He didn't qualify particularly well, starting 20th. But it was evident from the drop of the green flag that his No. 88 Chevrolet was something special. He gained 10 positions before the first round of green-flag stops.
"We were really excited about our car the first run, happy with how it was driving," Earnhardt said. "I don't know how fast the leaders were, but I thought the car had excellent speed and drivability."
"We messed with the balance a little bit throughout the race. It wasn't perfect at the end. I think we got the best we could with the car and the speed that we had. I'm happy with that. My teammate got the win. We had a good run. I would like to win here, but I'm going to have to wait until next year."

Web Resource: iGourmet
We've mentioned before that we love online shopping for gourmet food items. Another of our favorite online resources is iGourmet, who we really like for cheese purchases.
iGourmet differs from D'Artagnan and other online gourmet food resources in that they have a large variety of cheeses. The website is designed well in that it divides the cuisine categories by country. So, whether you're looking for Israeli cheese or English herb jellies, it's all easy to find.
They also have a large selection of hams, including jamón serrano (but no jamón ibérico yet – perhaps soon!)
We also love their varieties of oils (pumpkin seed and hazelnut) and the delicious Spanish marinated anchovies called boquerones. Also, their bacon selection makes our mouths water. Check it out!
The service is rather quick and the items we ordered were packed well and arrived at the proper temperatures.

My mom was an avid bowler when I was growing up. I spent a lot of time watching and learning from her techniques. When I was 6, I decided I wanted to bowl too, so she put me on a kid's league where I learned the basics. By the end of the program I ended up with a bowling pin for my Christmas tree and my very own eight pound ball.
I was on leagues all the way up through middle school with people much older than me and I usually kept up. Then I got to high school and started focusing more on soccer, boys and 'being cool,' which meant bowling went down the tubes. So when my co-workers asked if I liked to bowl, without missing a beat I said, "hell yes I like to bowl!" and signed up as a part time member.
I showed up all excited, ready to rock….and ended up bowling worse than I ever had in my life. I started out with a 111 average and was barely hitting it. I made myself out to look like this pretty decent bowler (hey, my highest game is a 217 dammit!) and I just sucked. I called my mom for counseling and she gave me tips, but nothing was working. I was about ready to tell my co-workers to count me out because I was seriously bringing them down.
Until today.
I decided not to get worried about my scores this time. Everyone pretty much thought I sucked anyway, so they really weren't expecting much from me. But I got on the line, found my sweet spot and banged them out like Ron Jeremy. (Uh did I just make a porno joke? Yeah, I did.)
First game, 120….ehhh not bad but the best start I've had so far.
Second game, 157. Hey, nice job!
Third game…170. I was so excited I nearly split my pants. Seriously.
My mom told me she has a book about bowling being a mental game which really made me think…aren't all sports mental? Instead of going into the bowling alley today thinking, "I'm a good bowler and I should bowl well," I went in thinking, "Well they all think I suck, we're in last place, so really, who gives a damn?" And I rocked it.
It's all about the mental game. But really, isn't it always?

I must say that Hootsuite is my favorite of the tools we have learned about this week. Clearly there are many tools we are using, and this helps by putting a few of them into just one site. I like that I won't have to go all over the place to check for updates.
Education is something that never ceases. I am constantly learning. Learning is an unquenchable thirst. Just because education is formal (i.e. expensive) doesn't make it any more superior than "non-formal" education. Traveling, exploring the depths of nature, socializing with unfamiliar people and ways of life, and stepping out of your comfort zone in any way are all part of the learning process. University is only the tip of the iceberg. When I graduate, and utilize my skills to help others, I will not only be giving knowledge of my own to others, but will be soaking up all that others can teach me. I plan on continuing participation in non-profit organizations for as long as I live, and that is some meaningful education right there.
