Varginha UFO incident
Varginha UFO incident is the name given to a series of events involving the alleged sighting and capture by the military of an extraterrestrial being in Varginha, Brazil, in 1996. Such reports were first broadcast on the Sunday TV show Fantástico of Rede Globo, and quickly gathered extensive media coverage worldwide, including an article in The Wall Street Journal, and has become since then the most famous case in modern Brazilian ufology.
The Brazilian government has officially denied any claims of being involved in the capture of EBEs, but some theorists claim otherwise, accusing the government of a cover up. For some the lack of reliable sources is evidence against its actuality; the testimony of unnamed, anonymous "official" individuals are frequently featured.
UFO investigator Kevin D. Randle writes that "this case is as complicated as any other in the UFO field."[1] Randle notes that there is a lack of physical evidence supporting the case, and adds, "In fact, we have been unable to verify much of anything."[2]
According to media reports, the creature was first sighted by three women ranging from 14 to 21 years old: sisters Liliane and Valquíria Fátima Silva, and their friend Kátia Andrade Xavier. They allegedly saw the creature in the afternoon of January 20, 1996: A biped about 1.6 metres (5 ft), with a large head and very thin body, with V-shaped feet, brown skin, and large red eyes. It seemed to be wobbly or unsteady, and the girls assumed it was injured or sick.
Witnesses[who?] have noted physical similarities between this alleged creature and the chupacabra, a cryptozoological creature reported in Puerto Rico , Central America, and Mexico.
The Silva sisters say they fled, then told their mother that they had seen the devil. She didn't believe them at first, but when she went to the area where they had allegedly seen the creature and smelled a strong ammonia-like odor, her opinion changed. After relating their tale to family and friends, rumors began to spread throughout the city: UFOs were sighted, aliens were captured. Two days later, another creature was allegedly found lying along a road. Three military trucks were sent to retrieve it.
As related by Moffett in the Wall Street Journal, "The army finds itself besieged on several fronts. A local mystic predicts that Varginha will suffer some kind of cataclysm this September as retribution for its blitzkrieg on the interplanetary visitors. An armed-forces news conference marking 'Victory Day' in World War II degenerated into a shouting match between a general and a television reporter pressing him about the extraterrestrials. An official briefing to debunk UFO conspiracies was overshadowed by an auto mechanic's claim to have seen yet another weird cylindrical aircraft, a cosmic encounter he re-enacted with the aid of an aluminum coffee thermos ... Stanton Friedman, a Canada-based UFO expert, says Varginha has the makings of a 'cosmic Watergate.'"[3]
Brazilian mass media was saturated for some time with speculation, rumors and accounts regarding the UFO's and the strange creatures.
Moffett writes that there have been over half a dozen sightings of the creatures, though "it is unclear how all of these beings could have fit into the minivan-sized spacecraft that was spotted here in January." There was disagreement as to whether one creature had been sighted multiple times, or if several creatures had been sighted individually.[citation needed]

This time of year when Christmas Day has passed and the New Year is quickly upon us leads me to reflect on the events of the last year. I try to hold those thoughts in check because I like to spend a solitary New Year's Day reviewing the previous 12 months and making plans for the future. I'm finding it harder to do this now. Is it my milestone birthday this year (the big 5-0) or reading all the blogs I follow that are doing the "Best of 2012" posts or the hectic party pace I've been keeping up all month?? I feel the tip of an invisible whip spurring me on to make plans...bigger and better.
I was reading Brenda's cozy little blog entry and I feel the same this time of year - a real spring cleaning desire in the middle of winter. Clean, sweep, scrub, purge, organize...out with the old and in with the new. Between now and the New Year, I will concentrate on boxing up and putting away Christmas. Giving in any further than that, will lead to paint and dropcloths and installing new light fixtures. Frankly, I'm too tired to start that right now. I need a little peace and quiet to recharge my batteries.
For those of you who guessed, yes, the tea cosy was made by my knitting friend, the extraordinary Cindi. It matches my kitchen decor and I simply adore it (wait until you see what my other knitter extraordinaire made me!).
For tonight, I am settling in with the December issue of British Country Living (I adore British magazines) and a cup of tea sweetened with a spoon of amber honey from my beekeeping niece, Allyson. Lovely Christmas gift from her as well. I shall get a picture of the centrepiece she made me for the blog - so rustic and outdoorsy.
|Does this remind you of a certain reindeer?
I'm going to leaf through my magazine, sip my tea and let my mind wander where it will. I'll remember all the lovely parties I've attended and hosted, all the family and friends from near and far who have warmed my heart this Christmas season and all the warm memories we made of love and laughter.

The Culture on the Edge collective frequently addresses the relevance of various questions about origins, identifications, and discourse that reflect issues in Religious Studies, but we apply those questions to aspects of society not typically identified as religious. These ideas are a part of a Culture on the Edge panel at the Southeast Regional AAR/SECSOR meeting this coming weekend in Atlanta. Vaia Touna and Steven Ramey will participate in a panel on Saturday March 5 entitled "Culture on the Edge Grounded and Applied: The Wider Relevance of the Study of Religion". If you are planning to attend the conference or happen to be close enough to show up on Saturday, we would love to chat with you and hear your thoughts on applying issues in Religious Studies more broadly.

Almost Black, the forthcoming story and book by "Jojo," err, Vijay, an "Indian American who got into medical school pretending to be an African American" has the internet abuzz and many in a rage. After shaving his head and trimming his "long Indian eyelashes," 17 years ago Vijay Chokal-Ingam, the "Indian-American frat boy" with a 3.1 GPA, transmuted into "Jojo," the African American affirmative action (which he refers to as state sponsored racism) applicant to medical school.
"Why now?," many have asked, to this Vijay responds that "…he's revealing his race ruse now because he heard that UCLA is considering strengthening its affirmative-action admissions policies," arguing that, "…it's a myth that affirmative action benefits the underprivileged." Also, and perhaps most pressing, he has begun promotion for a memoir he is working on, Almost Black, which chronicles his "social experiment." To add humor to the explicitly politically problematic, Vijay pats himself on his own back by affirming the public benefit of him not becoming a doctor. Continue reading "Almost Black?"
Almost exactly two years ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to accompany a group of my students to India for a course designed to specifically examine how notions of "justice" operate in an Indian context. As you might imagine, we saw literally hundreds of noteworthy things. With time, though, I have mentally sifted through some of these memories of what went on during our travels and realized that the most poignant moments of analysis came from events that no one had planned.

Anytime "data" can answer this question, the stakes increase. "Yes" or "No," the question is posed rhetorically, for in receiving an answer, the trouble of the "human sciences"—that is, the human in human sciences—sounds off in a chorus composed of intentionality, strategies of identification, and politically-charged and charred epistemological appeals and ethical slights-of-hand. In other words, when we take this question (and its implications) seriously, shit stands to "get real."
About a year ago, historian, religious studies scholar and public intellectual Anthea Butler wrote a powerful essay for Religion Dispatches titled "The Zimmerman Acquittal: America's Racist God." If you have the time, it's worth another read. She ended up the target of a series of online attacks from people angry at the post. Dr. Butler cataloged the hate mail here.

Entanglements: Marking Place in the Field of Religion
You've contributed much to the discourse on theory and method in the academic study of religion over the years – can you take us behind the scenes with "why" this book now, and to what sorts of questions and/or critiques in the field you're responding to in your push to show the manner in which the "academic" study of religion rightfully constitutes primary research on "real" religions?
For whatever reason, over the years some of my work has prompted replies from other scholars—sometimes substantive, sometimes dismissive or, on occasion, even angry. So I've had the luxury of writing responses or rejoinders on a number of occasions, but I've never done anything with these pieces—not that I ought to, but they tend to represent a part of the field that, I think, often goes unnoticed. For a variety of reasons I've turned into an essayist and I tend to gather up pieces periodically and then publish them as a collection—a genre I certainly didn't invent and one that is not so distinct from a monograph as some might wish to think—and so the idea of collecting these responses, and then writing new introductions to each, contextualizing the occasion etc., seeing it all as an example of scholarly discourse at work, rather than a finished product, occurred to me about a year or so ago. Continue reading ""New Books on the Edge" with Russell T. McCutcheon"
Yesterday, in Part 1, I wrote about some of the conceptual problems that I find in a recent Hufftington Post article on the ironic similarities between two sets of devotional rituals, said to be shared by Hindus and Buddhists in Sri Lanka, and the way — again, according to the article, and also the site on which it is based — that this commonality might provide a basis to overcome perceived difference and conflict.
But there's more to talk about at the site (created by, according to the Huff Post article, a Sri Lankan-based, University of Chicago trained anthropologist). For instance, its Intro page opens as follows: Continue reading "What Came First, the Difference or the Similarity? Part 2"
It's merely unlimited, undifferentiated stuff without an observer with an argument.
Mike Altman, who teaches at the University of Alabama's Department of Religious Studies, has been reading our recent exchanges on the use of the word "data." In fact, he's proposed that a working group at the American Academy of Religion, devoted to technology in the Humanities, think a little about their own use of the term.

A group of 212 members of Congress have submitted an historical brief in United States v Windsor, the case challenging the Defense of Marriage Act. Many of those legislators voted for DOMA in 1996, but now they are acknowledging that the law is unconstitutional. The brief says, among other things:
"The goal of maximizing the financial well-being and independence of widows is not furthered by depriving Edie Windsor and others like her of the estate-tax exemption that other married Americans receive. The policy of encouraging employers to provide family health benefits is not served either by denying to employers the tax deduction for providing those benefits to married gay and lesbian couples or by refusing to cover spouses of gay and lesbian federal employees. Our national security is undermined by denying spousal benefits to gay and lesbian servicemembers, especially during periods of armed conflict. Our veterans are dishonored when we deny them the right to have their spouses buried alongside them in our national cemeteries."
This is the major problem at the heart of DOMA. The arguments in favor of that act, the rationale for adopting it, is not at all furthered by the act itself. It simply is not reasonable or coherent to claim that the government's interest in encouraging stable families is furthered by denying the rights and protections that they claim furthers that goal to gay couples. That's why I think it is unconstitutional even if the court applies only the rational basis test, because there simply is no rational basis for the law.This is a remarkable shift in opinion in Congress, which flows naturally from the shift in public opinion on this question. In 1996, DOMA passed 342-67 in the House and 85-14 in the Senate. It's so remarkable that it should now be clear that if the Democrats had control of the House, DOMA would almost certainly be repealed and it wouldn't be necessary to have the courts overturn it.

Director : K.S. Ravikumar
Release Date : 5 July 2013
Genre : Action | Comedy | Drama
Starcast : Sanjay Dutt, Prachi Desai, Prakash Raj
Storyline :-
A cop named DCP Rudra is transferred to a new police station. As the city is riddled with crime and corruption, he decides to bring law and order back for which he has to go against Nagori Subramaniyam, the local mafia. He does not believe in the system of going by the book and instead fights fire with fire.
The movie was rumoured to be called Thanedaar part 2, referring to a previous Hit movie Sanjay Dutt did during his younger days. However Dutt did not feel comfortable with the movie backing on the success of Thanedaar, considering the fact that the story was not written keeping in mind the original Thanedaar. Furthermore the directors and producers of the original Thanedaar were different. Subsequently Sanjay Dutt suggested to brainstorm for another name. He suggested Policegiri and the unit was happy to call this movie Policegiri. Policegiri was actually not a word in use but something Sanjay Dutt created.

The Week Ahead
For Google, All Eyes on 'Costs Per Click'
When Google Inc. reports earnings on Thursday, many pundits might pick right up where they left off one quarter ago: With concerns about prices advertisers are paying to get attention in the Internet giant's dominant search engine.
Google, of Mountain View, Calif., issued a fourth-quarter report in January that largely fell flat on Wall Street, as profit came in well below expectations. During a subsequent conference call, executives were peppered with questions about an 8% decline in prices paid by advertisers during the period...

Editorial: New oil headquarters mean much to region
We read with great interest the changes in newer office space being developed in Midland.
We are excited that companies are taking into consideration the needs of their employees. The cubicle is being replaced with individual offices, and other features address the employees' well-being. Fitness centers, day care facilities and cafeterias are providing a better atmosphere. Much like higher salaries, 21st century amenities will be required to retain the best talent in-house. We have no problems with that.
But behind the coffee bars and flat-screen TVs, there is something else going on that is much more significant to Midland and its future. Oil companies like Concho, Pioneer, Fasken, Chevron and EOG are investing their resources in Midland. This isn't only a renter's market anymore, and that means a commitment to a long-term future. Many people ignore this commitment when talking about what's in store for Midland. But not us.
We defer to leaders like Tim Leach, of Concho; Mitch Mamoulides, of Chevron; and Scott Sheffield, of Pioneer, who have said repeatedly that there is enough activity in and around the Permian Basin for decades. They are also among the oil leaders who have backed up their words with actions, specifically pouring tens of millions of dollars into new facilities. In addition to providing a better quality of life for employees, those buildings are on the tax rolls and a reminder that a thriving economy will be the norm.

Here is a staple of ours, we try to always keep them to replace worn or damaged panels on trade in Tauruses we get from time to time, like the Israeli Police 99AF in the photos with a new set of Hogues. These are Hogue's pure and simple replacement panels to fit any Taurus 92 or 99 Standard Size pistol, including the PT92AF, PT92AFS, PT99AF, and PT99AFS. They will not fit the older model Tauruses made before about 1983 with the European Magazine release at the bottom of the butt area. They are attractive enough, they don't really ad any width to the already-fat pistols, and their soft rubber construction makes the Taurus handle better and gives more grip security during protracted shooting sessions and in foul, wet weather. Hogue even gives the buyer a third panel for the late 1980s variant Tauruses that did not decock, a spare left panel. The thing we like about them is the price.

Usually the other way around right? Well I personally believe it works two ways.
This morning, for what reason I don't know, I woke up feeling amazing. I had a great night sleep and was ready to seize the day! (maybe because i'm on holiday now, I don't know?)
Anyway, I felt so confident that my usual make-up routine seemed pointless to me. I all ready felt amazing, why did I need make up to boost this? The answer- I didn't.
So it got me thinking, if I felt this good everyday, would putting on make-up for confidence really be needed? I think this could be applied to everyone.
It take a lot to be comfortable in your own skin, I especially know this. After having self esteem issues in the past, I think i'm finally coming out of the other side. There was a year of my life that is completely lost in the abyss, due to the fact that I utterly refused to have my photo taken, my self confidence in what i looked like was so low.
Here are just a few things that gradually improved my confidence:
1. immersing myself in the company of friends, generally laughing more and having a good time. If your friends pick at your flaws, they're not really friends at all.
2.Shrugging it off. This applies to confidence in general, and I'm not going to lie, this took me ages to master. saying 'so what if they judge me' or when randomly embarrassed, 'i'm never going to see them again, they can think what they like.' Just in general caring less about what others think of you.
I feel this DR. Seuss quote sums this point up pretty well.
3. Thinking of the positive, this links in with my 'good news post'. On the worst possible days, become an optimist. Look at the good things in life. If they are not obvious at first glance, search for them.
4. Pampering. This can be taken in many ways, I just like to think of it as 'me time'. Blast some music and dance while doing something like tidying, light some candles and relax in the bath, or travel and appreciate view points, sunsets etc. Learn to love yourself again.
Picking self esteem up off the floor is hard, but utterly worth it in the long run. You are capable.
Happy valentines day!

Really? Come on Walmart algorithms.
I'm not one to bash retailers that compete with Amazon. I say this because it's really about experience, not price. But retailers believe that for most shoppers, it's about price, so being a shopper marketing consultant, I play the game.
That said, I've installed this app called Invisible Hand, which tells me, when I'm browsing online, where I can find what I'm looking at cheaper. Note the yellow bar at the top of the "screen capture" below.
This morning I get an e-mail from Barnes & Noble about new books. I'm looking at Bobby Deen's just-released today cookbook. He's taken his Mams Paula Deen's recipes and slashed the fat and calories, but not the flavor.
I jump over to Amazon (without clicking on B&N site, sorry) and check out the Kindle version, then the paperback version. Then the yellow bar pops up and tells me I can get this book for $0.01 cheaper at Walmart.com.
As I said, I'n not a retail basher at heart. I truly believe that some algorithm somewhere in cyberland did this to me today.
I want to declare to the technology bot that "A Penny Less is NOT Less." If the bot tells its human programmer, that's good. but it probably won't, because it's probably not listening to the human reaction I had.
With that behind me, I can now experience the experience Amazon has perfected, the one-click order button. I'll be testing recipes on Thursday.

Summer is around the corner and that means summer travel and road trips. In preparing to set out on your ventures, you want to have all the necessary items in case of car trouble or an emergency. Here are five road trip essentials to take along for a safe and fun road trip.
Safety Kit - No matter where you're going, a safety kit—containing basic auto repair tools, first aid, batteries and a flash light—is an essential for any trip beyond your town or city limits.
One Very Important Number - If the unexpected occurs, don't even think of passing up roadside assistance because of the cost. 21st Century offers 24-hour roadside assistance at no extra cost. Just program the number, (800) 439-5587, in your phone and bring along your insurance card.
Nourishment - Skip fast food in favor of bite-sized, high-nutrition snacks like trail mix and dried fruit. And remember: Sodas will give you a momentary sugar rush, but the subsequent crash will put a strain on long-distance drives, so stick with water.
GPS - An essential for any distance travel, but it's not foolproof. Read your manual from cover to cover, program your destination before you leave and don't take its instructions as gospel. In short, don't toss your maps.
Road trips are a great way to spend time with your family and see the country. Be sure to take these road trip essentials along and enjoy the open road!

Let's not ignore that you didn't care if you lived or died,
Let's not ignore that if you would've lost control you wouldn't have tried.
Let's not ignore that for a second you forgot redemption…
Let's not forget that you're still somebody's son…
Let's not ignore the fact that there's something destined for you,
Let's face the fact that you must have patience this must is true.
But instead ignore the past mistakes that you'll never be able to take back,
But instead take this forgotten time and get yourself back on track…
But instead of feeling sorry for yourself, look for solutions more..
But instead love yourself, it really shouldn't be a chore.
At first you hated yourself, for all your past mistakes….
At first you took it all, until there was nothing left to take…
At first you couldn't see the fire before it caused so much pain,
At first you didn't put it out yourself and relied too much on the rain….
But now you see it…don't you?
That this repetition just won't do it anymore, and it's time to move forward.
This hamster wheel has spun long enough, towards a new life you must move toward.
Use this pain that you feel, and inspire yourself to build something much greater….
She wouldn't want to meet you like this….do it for me. Do it for him. Do it for Her.
Push aside your foolish pride, and cut down the boast to grow,
For he has a plan much greater…greater than you know….
Every time you fall, you must pick yourself up once more…
That's the only way you'll get to the life…the life worth living for.

Lemon Tart with Curious Pastry
A couple of months ago, a friend visited with a bag of lemons picked from her tree. I don't like seeing fresh produce wasted, so I juiced them and stuck them in the freezer. Until recently, the lemon juice sat undisturbed in the back of the freezer next to the frozen stock, a block of my home-made pastry, cassoulet, egg whites and some other food like substances that were covered in frozen crystals. I am prone to filling the freezer and forgetting what frozen gems are lurking in the back.
In a moment of inspiration when deciding what to take for dessert to a family dinner, I grabbed for the frozen lemon juice and pastry and settled on making a lemon tart. This, unfortunately did not go to plan. For starters, given the slippery nature of frozen food, everything, including the cassoulet came tumbling out of the freezer and crash-landed at my feet. I spent the next twenty minutes in a cleaning frenzy, removing the smashed bits of food and plastic container shards from the floor that had made their way into corners and crevices.
With my tart preparations seriously interrupted and the pastry now in pieces in the bin, I hunted down an alternative tart base recipe to make from scratch. I am generally a fan of Maggie Beer's pastry recipe, but when I found this one it appealed because it didn't involve using a rolling pin. It was adapted from a recipe by Paule Caillat, who runs a cooking school in Paris, called Promenades Gourmandes. Ms Caillat's school came up when researching patisserie classes for an upcoming trip to France, but that's another story.
Preparing pastry in this way comes with a warning; the heatproof mixing bowl of butter is very hot when it comes out of the oven and it can be very tempting to grab hold of the bowl without gloves, when mixing the flour into the butter. Don't! You may also need to sit it on a heatproof mat.
To make matters worse, after a particularly clumsy manouvere when extracting the first tart from the pan, I destroyed the pastry base so then had to work quickly to whip up another one. Maybe the moral of the story here is, there are some days when it's best to just put down the spoon and walk away from the kitchen.
125g unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 tbsp water
1½ tbsp sugar
¼ tsp salt
Preheat the oven to 210 C
In a medium sized ovenproof bowl, such as Pyrex, combine the butter, oil, water, sugar and salt. Place the bowl in the hot oven for 15 minutes, until the butter starts to bubble and is just brown around the edges.
When done, remove the bowl from the oven, using oven gloves, dump in the flour, stirring it in quickly, until it comes together and forms a ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased 25 cm tart tin with a removable base and spread the dough with a spatula, pressing into the sides and base evenly. Reserve a small piece of dough, the size of a marble to repair cracks later.
Prick the dough base with a fork, then bake the tart shell in the oven for 15 minutes or until the shell is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before patching any cracks with the reserved dough. Allow to cool before filling.
Lemon filling
1 cup fresh lemon juice
grated zest of one lemon, unsprayed
¾ cup sugar
95g unsalted butter, cubed
3 large eggs
3 large additional egg yolks
Preheat oven to 180 C
In a medium non reactive saucepan, heat the lemon juice, zest, sugar and butter. Have a mesh strainer nearby. In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and the yolks.
When the butter is melted, whisk some of the warm lemon mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly to warm them. Scrape the warmed eggs back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and almost begins to bubble around the edges. Be careful not to overheat at this stage.
Have the pre-baked tart shell, still in the tin ready to add the lemon curd. Pour the lemon curd through a strainer into the pre-baked tart shell, scraping the curd through with a rubber spatula. Smooth the top of the tart and cook in the oven for about five minutes, just to set the curd.
Remove from the oven, when cool remove by sitting the tart over a glass and carefully push down on the sides of the tin until it releases the tart from the sides of the tin. The tart can be sprinkled with icing sugar if preferred and served with sweetened whipped cream.

The latest in the ongoing patent wars: Apple has called on EU anti-trust regulators to settle a patent dispute between the Cupertino company and Motorola. It's the equivalent of warring brothers calling on their parents to sort out a long-running argument.
Apple is fighting claims that it infringed Motorola's mobile patents. This is just the latest instalment in the saga that is the patent disputes between big mobile companies.
Motorola made the announcement in a regulatory filing on Friday, Reuters reports. Moto said: "On February 17, 2012, the company received a letter from the European Commission notifying it that the Commission has received a complaint against Motorola Mobility, Inc. by Apple, Inc. regarding the enforcement of MMI's standards-essential patents against Apple allegedly in breach of MMI's FRAND (fair and reasonable) commitments.
"Apple's complaint seeks the Commission's intervention with respect to standards-essential patents," it went on.
In other words: Apple wants to be left alone.
No doubt wary of the constant wranglings, regulators in Europe and the US have said they would intervene to stop companies overcharging rivals for patents essential to making devices work with others. Which has to be good news for those of us buying the devices.
Motorola recently succeeded in having some Apple devices banned from sale in Germany, though Apple overturned it within hours. A court also ruled in favour of Apple in the slide-to-unlock patent, declaring Motorola had infringed it with its own version. (Though the Xoom was exempt.) Expect Apple to bring similar cases against other makers of Android devices, such as arch rival Samsung. It was a rare victory for Apple, which has been suffering in the courts of late.
These legal spats are unfortunate, but inevitable: the smart phone market grew 55 per cent last year, according to IDC, so wherever that much money is floating around companies are bound to protect their interests.
Let me know what you think about it all on our Facebook page, or below in the comments.

A new tax regulation effective for the 2016 tax year will help businesses of all sizes accelerate their expensing of certain capital expenditures. The previous threshold for the De Minimis Safe Harbor allowed for businesses to expense all capital expenditures under $500 -- for the 2016 tax year this threshold has been increased to $2,500! That's right, businesses can now expense all fixed asset purchases under $2,500 rather than capitalizing the asset and depreciating it over the asset's useful life!
For more information, please visit http://www.evolvefinancialservices.com/irs-de-minimis-safe-harbor/
Make sure to share this information with any customers, clients, or contacts that may be able to take advantage of this new tax regulation!!!!

Fish are chock full of nutrients, but they are often contaminated with pollutants that can have serious health effects, particularly on growing babies and children. It can be difficult to know what to do with this good and bad news--if you are already aware of it. Due to language, cultural or other barriers, many who depend on "catching their dinners" may not be in the information loop. Through Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant initiatives, teachers (of many disciplines) and students will be able to build community awareness and involvement concerning this significant health issue.

My Poor Mum
It started with a handbag that my brother was buying for his girlfriend. When it was delivered to my mum's office she couldn't help herself and had to have a look at it. Of course she didn't realise that she had a dot of ink on her thumb which very quickly transferred itself onto the stupid bag which very quickly sucked it up like a sponge. Quick side note, Radley handbags made from incredibly soft leather probably aren't the wisest choice for a bag, not if you plan on using it anyway. That little flumox cost her £75!
Then she received a letter from the very lovely people at Disability Living Allowance who are clearly trying to get some money together for the Christmas party this year. Basically my grandfather died two and a half years ago in the early hours of the morning on 22 May. From what we can gather from the letter because he had the absolute cheek to die before midnight on the 22nd, DLA would like their money back for the period 9th May to 22nd May because he wasn't alive for all of it!!! Well needless to say that didn't put her in good mood either.
Neither did the fact that because she was absolutely seething in work over it a woman managed to confuddle her and walk off £157 better off by managing to get away without paying for her electric bill and a postal order. Alright, that one was my mum's fault because she wasn't concentrating but keep in mind that this woman comes into my mum's post office at least twice a week and chats away asking after Chloe and my mum's family and when you consider that her actual change should have been nothing but a handful of coins instead of the handful of notes she ran off, it really makes you wonder what is it about this time of year that brings out the worst in some people!! That's another £157 that will have to come out of her pocket if she doesn't set eyes on the woman again this side of Christmas.
My mum has always had a hard time at Christmas. She gets so wrapped up in the money side of things, somehow convincing herself that the more money she spends the better Christmas will be when in actual fact it always turns out to be the complete opposite, at least for her.
When it comes right down to it, although shops and supermarkets and toy manufacturers would love you to think otherwise, Christmas and money don't really have anything to do with each other.
I'm trying to get across to my mum that Christmas dinner won't be any more special if she buys the huge turkey and cured ham instead of the roasting chicken and a couple of gammon slices at an eighth the price or that Chloe's going to any more over the moon with the £200 go kart instead of the £40 one. Alright, the child said she wanted a Ben 10 go kart because she saw it on tv but I can tell you know she won't give a toss if she gets the plain black one with the 79p sheet of Ben 10 stickers slapped on it and better than that, her day will be the bestest in the whole wide world ever if we let her put the stickers on herself.
Christmas shouldn't be about money, but my mum has a hard time getting past that because when my brother and I were kids we didn't have any money and my mum usually borrowed to make sure there was something under the tree. Ever since then she's never really been able to overcome what can only be described as her hatred of all things Christmas. She's already trying to put a brave face on at a time of the year she can't stand and the slightest little thing gone wrong can send her into the depths of despair.
It's a real shame that something like money has ruined almost the last 30 Christmases for my mum. If I could just get her round to realising what Christmas is really all about.
Now I know that everyone has different opinions on what Christmas is really about, but for me Christmas is that its that special time of year when everyone (including your boss) agrees that you should have a few days off work and be at home. With family. With friends. With loved ones.
Whether you spend it at home curled up under a blanket by the fire, getting fat and merry, or driving clear across the country to be with ones you love. What it all boils down to is having a few days to just be together and no amount of pears covered in gold leaf and used as place settings on your table is enhance Christmas any more than it already is, just by having the people you care most about near to you.

Oh that is so tough for your Mum.ReplyDelete
Christmas can be the toughest time of year for many, especially if it does not live up to the "perfect" Christmas that we feel pressured to provide.
Here is hoping that this Christmas she will enjoy the time spent with her family, surrounded by those who love her.
Your poor mum. It's horrible when things go wrong, one ater the other, especially when it's someone you love. Sometimes it's better when it happens to yourself.ReplyDelete
I hope your mum has a wonderful Christmas enjoying it with you all.
So true. We have always tried to keep Christmas low key.ReplyDelete
I love what you said about the gold leaf pears...people really do get carried away don' they?
I know exactly how you mean. My mother is the same way about being tied up in the money side of Christmas. It's wonderful that she wants to be so generous, but Christmas is a time for family and celebrating, not bookkeeping to make sure everyone gets the same money spent on them and that you spend "enough" on each person.ReplyDelete
oh your poor mum. don't forget, as well as being the same price all presents for children have to be the same size too...why do we put ourselves (and each other) through such nonsense?ReplyDelete
Have a lovely holiday. Personally, after a few sherries I always feel much better about the whole thing.
I was so looking forward to this Xmas, as my little girl was too young to appreciate the big day. But it hasn't exactly ended up with the cosy nights and Christmas carols I had planned... last weekend I dislocated my shoulder for the fifth time, then all three of us got stinking colds - the kind that keep you up all night coughing away - and now the doc reckons my little one might have Swine flu. I haven't even finished my shopping, or felt well enough to put a single Christmas song on. Oh well, there's always next year...ReplyDelete
It may be too late this year for you but there is always next year, but we as a family set down a couple of rules, the present can cost no more than £20.00, We make our own crakers - one each and have to find a prezzie to fit inside for £5 max. Get your mum a nice bottle of wine, and get her to put her feet up. Happy Christmas xReplyDelete

Before I found out about my gluten intolerance, my husband and I used to go to our favorite little Korean restaurant once a week. I love that in addition to your main dish, you also get a variety of little side dishes called banchan. Unfortunately, it is hard to find gluten-free Korean food in a restaurant. Almost every dish involves soy sauce, fried elements, or gojuchang (a Korean chili paste that contains wheat!). So, as always, I have begun to try to replicate these dishes at home. I think that tofu is an under appreciated food here in the US, because it has been labeled as an option for vegans and vegetarians. Omnivores seem to avoid it here. However Asian countries have long since included in in their diets, in addition to meat. I greatly respect that, as it is a healthy and versatile source of protein. This particular dish is normally served as a banchan, but it is so good I could eat it by itself or maybe on top of some greens as a salad!
1 block tofu (14 oz)
2-3 stalks green onion – cut into 2 inch long peices
3/4 cup gluten free or tamari soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp gluten free gojuchang or other chili paste (I used a chili garlic paste I found at the Asian Market)
1/2 tsp minced garlic (omit if using chili garlic sauce)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saute pan.
- Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, chili paste, garlic, and sesame oil in a separate bowl.
- Drain and cut tofu into desired size. I chose larger rectangles, but smaller bite-size pieces work too. Pat dry with a paper towel (this is very important, since any excess water will cause the hot oil to spit while cooking).
- Pan fry tofu on both sides until lightly browned.
- Add in green onion and saute to wilt it slightly.
- Add in sauce mixture and cook for a few minutes until it is slightly reduced.
- Top with sesame seeds, serve, and enjoy!

Apple won its injunction against Samsung, delaying at least for several months and perhaps permanently the distribution of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in its current form in Australia. The permanence of the result comes from an earlier threat by Samsung to take its bat and ball and go home if it missed the key selling cycle around Christmas. The argument being that the world will have moved on too far without them.
Apple's victory adds to successful judgments it has received in Germany and the Netherlands already. Ongoing actions continue across the US, Europe, Japan and South Korea. For its part, Samsung has launched counterclaims relating to patents it claims Apple has violated. You have to at least give them points for persistence. Writing in Computerworld yesterday after the judgment was handed down, Chloe Herrick noted:
"Samsung has flagged plans to file court injunctions in France and in an attempt to block the sale of Apple's iPhone 4S. The preliminary injunctions will request the courts block the Smartphone from being sold in France and Italy, alleging infringement of wireless telecommunications patents. 'Apple has continued to flagrantly violate our intellectual property rights and free ride on our technology, and we will steadfastly protect our intellectual property,' Samsung said at the time."
So far Samsung's lawyers have yet to trouble the scorer.
Apple, on the other hand, will bank millions of dollars worth of orders for its latest smartphone today — the iPhone4S — when it goes on sale here and around the world.
The SMH started shamelessly beating up the story early today, leading on its site with a live blog headlined "Aussies go iPhone crazy." Apparently the SMH believes this is the most newsworthy story of the day in the whole world.
It's a stupid headline. Aussie's are not going iPhone crazy. Instead, a couple of hundred people around the country got out of bed early because they have trouble with impulse control. Fairfax Media's shares closed yesterday at 93 and a half cents.
The sun also rises, but not forever.
Google absolutely blitzed it last quarter, delivering an eye popping profit of $2.69 billion on revenues of $9.72 billion. Of course what's so eye popping about the result is the margin — it's only about 27 per cent. Google does not have factories or warehouses, or much in the way of physical stock on hand. And while it is probably harsh to say that its advertisements sell themselves, let's just say lots of customers don't need help from Google's salespeople to buy Google's products.
So you have to ask yourself, how did they spend $7.03 billion in the last 92 days? You do the math. Google is a great company and its search engine is an amazing product, but it's a crappy investment.
And despite that very big number today, its moment in the sun is passing.
How's that for a big call to end the week.
You can follow Andrew Birmingham on Twitter at @ag_birmingham. He owns Fairfax Media shares, not Google shares. In his defence, he didn't buy them and didn't ask for them. Still, you might be better placed getting your financial advice somewhere else.

|Re: [VOTE CANCELLED] Commit hdfs-630 to 0.21?
|Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:49:01 GMT
Nicholas reviewed hdfs-630 patch and made some suggestions for improvements. Cosmin, the patch writer, obliged. After chatting with Nicholas and Cosmin, I will reverse the hdfs-630 patch that is in TRUNK and if the new patch passes hudson, will apply it instead. I will then put up a new vote to have the improved patch applied to 0.21. Thanks to all who voted.

1. Out of curiosity earlier, I asked Google, "Why do turtles live so long?"
Turtles and tortoises, if not made into scrumptious meals by sharks or whatever sea-dwelling predator, have a life expectancy of up to 150 years. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS. And to think turtles and tortoises hardly move. Cats, nimble as they are, live up to 15 years, 14 on average. Rabbits, for all their hopping and libido-related metaphors, live up to 12 according to Google. Dogs, man's best friend in hunting and checking out bitches, live up to 11. Turtles and tortoises, THEY HARDLY EVEN MOVE — and they live up to ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS (I might use this scientific fact for excuses…err, factual…purposes).
I mean look at this guy:

The iPhone 5 launch on Wednesday is sure to be the most important event for tech investors this year. The Motley Fool will host a live chat where our top tech analysts will answer your questions and break down what the announcement means for Apple and investors everywhere. Swing by Fool.com at 12:45 p.m. EDT today for all of your coverage of Apple's next big announcement.
It's finally here. After months of rumors and speculation, the iPhone 5 will be unveiled today at 1 p.m EDT. There are plenty of features and upgrades which varying supply leaks have all but confirmed, but as always, plenty of unknowns remain. Let's take a look at what to expect today.
Count on it
The iPhone features which are seen as certainties today include a new 4-inch screen, thinner unibody construction, LTE support, and the newest version of Apple's
The obvious feature that's gotten the most attention is Apple's beefed-up 4-inch screen, which is larger than the 4S' 3.5-inch display. There has been no shortage of opinions taking Apple to task for not going with a larger screen, as best-selling Android models have gone as large as 4.3-inch screens.
My personal opinion is that those criticisms are off base. Just because a screen size is larger doesn't make it an improvement. From that standpoint, launch events like today are important for Apple because the company gets to set the narrative around product features. That is, Apple can use their launch event today as a platform to tell consumers why Apple feels a 4-inch screen is superior. Make no mistake -- events like today are very important marketing events.
LTE should also be a slam dunk and has been verified by several sources. Apple's communications supplier Qualcomm
At the end of 2011, just 47 operators across the globe had adopted LTE, but 150 will have it up by the end of the year. The biggest LTE bets have been made by American mobile giants, with Verizon
After those features, things get a bit more sketchy.
Don't count on it
One announcement that's been ruled out is Apple taking today's opportunity to launch an iPad "Mini." That product now likely will get its own event in mid-October. As an iPad Mini would primarily be competition to consumer-oriented tablets like Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus tablet, it makes sense Apple would push an announcement closer to the holiday shopping season.
Another long-expected feature that probably won't make the cut is near-field communication. That's a market led by NXP Semiconductor
Interesting last-minute rumors
One last-minute rumor that caught my eye is an emphasis on the newest iPod touch as a gaming controller. There's always been a natural appeal to an upgraded Apple TV as a gaming console, as iOS devices are ubiquitous among American households, so iPads, iPhones, and iPod touches could function as remote controls or video game controllers. If Apple places an emphasis on this feature, it could be tipping its hand to future updates.
Guidance for the road ahead

In Eric Holder's Pocket: A Review of Christian Adams' Injustice
J. Christian Adams is an American hero and his new book INJUSTICE: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department is an indispensable work for our time.
But be warned that I -- as reviewers often are, even if they don't say so -- am biased, quite obviously so. From page 155 of Adams' book: "The following week, I received an unexpected phone call from Roger Simon asking me to become a contributor to his media site Pajamas Media, one of the leading conservative news websites. I accepted his offer, and soon began writing about issues such as civil rights and the ongoing activities of the Obama DOJ."
I make no claim of editorial brilliance for drafting Christian then. An attorney for the Voting Section of the United States Department of Justice, he had just resigned after the testimony of Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez in the now infamous New Black Panther case. He wanted to blow the whistle on what he came to call the racialist (inordinately tilted in favor of minorities, largely African-American) policies and actions of the DOJ. And I was the perfect audience -- having been a voter registration worker myself during the Civil Rights Movement (South Carolina 1966). I was appalled by what he told me.
So I do take inordinate pride in the subsequent writings of Christian Adams on PJMedia. They have had a significant, and growing, impact on our country and justice system. They are arguably the most socially useful articles our company has published.
That out of the way, let me turn to why I believe Injustice may be the most important American publication this year. Simply, the book details quite specifically how the U.S. DOJ has been corrupted, hijacked might be a more appropriate term, by so-called "progressive" ideology to the extent that it no longer functions remotely as a genuine Department of Justice, but as something out of Orwell's Animal Farm or Ugo Betti's Corruption in the Palace of Justice. Just as in Orwell, justice is selectively and unequally applied and, as in Betti, the fish rots from the top.
Adams begins with the Ike Brown case ("Payback in Mississippi"), takes us through the astoundingly ideological hiring practices -- approaching left-wing purity tests -- of the Obama/Holder DOJ ("Personnel is Policy") and on to his own involvement, and eventual whistle-blowing, as the DOJ declined to enforce its judgment on the execrable racists of the New Black Panther Party ("Anatomy of a Scandal"). To the Obama/Holder DOJ, only whites, never blacks, could be racists. Past grievances always outweighed present reality.
Unfortunately, the book was written too soon to include the latest DOJ debacle – the "Fast and Furious" scandal for which AG Holder is currently under House subpoena -- but I am sure that murderous escapade will be close to the consciousness of all readers of the book.
Closer still is a great and, to me, even more important dilemma for our times.

Martinez: Improved away form key to Everton's hopes
Roberto Martinez is aware Everton need to pick up wins away from home as they seek European qualification.
The Goodison Park outfit sit sixth in the Premier League, but have managed only four victories on their travels this season.
Everton have been beaten without scoring in their last three away league fixtures - at Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea - but Martinez is confident his team, who boast 54 points from 29 matches, have what it takes to turn things around.
"To finish in the top four you need over 70 points. If we can reach anywhere near (that) we can look to see where that could take us," said Martinez at a press conference on Monday.
"Every position in the table matters. Our focus is to get away points. Our last games have been against top teams, and we haven't got the reward.
"It is not a frustration, but it is important we learn from it and assess it.
"We have got the opportunity to finish the season strong."
Everton travel to Newcastle United on Tuesday, looking for their first league success on the road since beating Swansea City in December.


text: Being in a long term relationship means that 'Date Nights' are not as regular as they used to be, with us choosing a takeaway and a movie night over going to a fancy restaurant and for cocktails. However, when we do make the effort to go out for a Date Night, I like to make a real effort – take my time doing my make up, get dressed up and grab my favourite pair of heels! I've always loved Ego's shoes so I thought I would create a mini Date Night Lookbook using two of their amazing pairs of heels!

VANCOUVER – Garaventa Lift BC provided portable wheelchair lifts to the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Committee. The lifts were used at sponsor's pavilions located at David Lam Park in Vancouver's trendy Yaletown district. Shown at the Coca-Cola Pavilion, volunteers receive hands-on training from Garaventa on the safe operation of the Super-Trac to transport people in wheelchairs up stairs to mezzanine levels. These areas were used as lounge areas by dignitaries, athletes and their families during the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Garaventa Canada was founded in 1974 to build the Grouse Mountain tramway in North Vancouver. After successful completion of this project the company recognized the need for accessibility products and specialized in the manufacturing of wheelchair lifts and home elevators. In 2001 the Tramway division, Garaventa Seilbahnen, merged with Doppelmayr. The Garaventa-Doppelmayr Group installed the world's longest and highest gondola in Whistler, known as the Peak2Peak. Garaventa Lift has played a key role in making many Olympic and Paralympics Games accessible for visitors and athletes with physical disabilities. Many Vancouver 2010 venues are equipped with Garaventa Lifts and Elevators.

First is a simple scarf I'm weaving in the pinwheel houndstooth pattern, also known as the friendship star. This is 100% Peruvian Highland wool and will be heading to a dear friend in a cold place.
Remember that SPAKAL (spin and knit-along) I'm doing? I've spun 9 out of 24 ounces of the wool for my sweater. It's still possible I could do this in 2012, though I'll have to work hard.
I have just a few repeats of the last section on my Color Affection shawl before starting the solid border. I should have yarn left over for hat/mitts too.
And heavens preserve us, I've started an English paper piecing project. I'm not sure how I'll put these together yet, right now I'm happily making hexagons, then I can lay them out and see what speaks to me.
Come check out all the great projects at Idaho Etsy Team and please make sure to say hi and check out what everyone else is up to!

For four years I did my best to push through high school. I tried to only get as close to other people as absolutely necessary for survival. I wanted to get in, do well in school, and get out.
Just keep looking for the light. The light that is college, and interesting people, and intellectual conversation. Just keep searching for the light. There has to be a way out of this tunnel.
And I made it. I survived high school. I had a few friends, and managed to alienate everyone else. It was a very successful experiment in social interaction. Except then they came along. They came along with there similar taste in television. And their complete openness to everything. They just go around loving me for no good reason. And the two of them who won't be moving into college dorms on August 24th are going to tie me to this town. This town I tried so hard to escape, unscathed. They're just going to be here, caring about my well being and making sure I'm happy. Nate's going to be too far away for everything. I mean, honestly, what were we thinking? And don't get me started on Goose. She's just going to move to Akron and we're going to be more than five minutes away from each other. That's just no good.
I don't want new people. I don't want forced intellectual conversation. I don't want the light. I want them.
I need them. I can't even begin to fathom not having them at every turn. And sure, I'll meet new people, and I'll have cool things to do with them. But nothing will beat spending Friday night at home, talking over a movie in our pajamas.
In our own completely ridiculous way, we're a family. I love them. I'm not sure I can handle leaving them too.
Our parents spend the first years of our lives raising us into people. They hope that they make us functional enough to move on and find our own tribe.
I've found them.

Design Wales spent yesterday facilitating a workshop for key design stakeholders in Scotland. At the invitation of Scottish Enterprise we prepared a programme of activities for key stakeholders from the public, private and education sectors to explore the potential need, scope and objectives in developing a design support programme for the Scottish Enterprise region.
Scotland has a strong track record in running design related events, festivals and programmes and could have undertaken the workshop themselves; but Design Wales were brought in to initially provide an overview of the state of design support across Europe as a benchmark and then to prepare activities and facilitate a workshop to explore the potential for design support in the region.
The activities provided a framework for broad and in-depth discussion, which was captured on pre-prepared worksheets that will now be reviewed as the basis for a workshop report to be provided to Scottish Enterprise.
With a mixture of classic and modern architecture, Glasgow is always a pleasure to visit and yesterdays mild weather had plenty of people sitting outside cafes enjoying the sun -even if they were still in their coats.
