Kris Jenner talks Mother's Day with her family
HollywoodNews.com: The Kardashians always get together for big holidays and this Mother's Day will be no different for the growing family.
Kris Jenner recently revealed that she will be handling things so that her oldest and pregnant daughter Kourtney Kardashian can just relax, states Hollyscoop. "Kourtney's very pregnant right now, so she doesn't need any extra work. So we're going to do it at my house," Kris revealed about the plans.
And it seems Kourtney will enjoy getting to just relax as a mom: "I think it has a lot more meaning when you have a lot of Mother's Days in your whole life. Growing up sort of celebrating someone else and now she's the one getting celebrated, it's exciting."
Do you like them as a family?

L-Carnitine is synthesised in the liver and kidneys derived from Lysine and Methionine. Conversion also requires adequate Iron, B6, B3 and Vitamin C, so individual deficiency in these cofactors may result in impaired conversion. In a normal individual, consuming a normal diet the body should produce sufficient Carnitine to make up for any shortfall in dietary intake. L-Carnitine plays a role in energy metabolism.
Its energy-releasing role comes from its function as an intra-cellular transporter of fatty acids; it carries activated fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidation, and carries bi-products out of the mitochondria. This is of particular significance to tissues that have a greater dependency on fats as their energy source, especially skeletal and cardiac muscle groups.
It is thought that only 16% of ingested Carnitine is absorbed. The body is able to adapt its absorption of Carnitine in response to intake, so people on low Carnitine diets (such as vegetarians) exhibit greater absorption than those on high Carnitine diets (such as meat eaters).

Acetyl L Carnitine is a derivative of Carnitine but has greater bioavailability than Carnitine.

Poisonous Foods and Plants
THis list has been compiled using the following sources from website: http://www.earthclinic.com/Pets/poisonous_plants.html
With a collaboration of information from the following organizations:
Did you know that there are actually over 700 plants that can be poisonous or toxic to your pet? That size of a number seems almost incomprehensible and makes you wonder if there are actually any plants left over that are NOT poisonous to animals!
The list included here cannot possibly begin to cover every single poisonous plant in existence, and it should also be said that some of these plants are much more toxic than others are. It is important to use your best judgment when determining whether or not these plants should remain in your home or garden. Consider your personal situation and the normal behavior of your pets. If you keep any of these plants in areas that cannot be accessed by your pet, or if you have a pet that has never bothered with getting into your plants in the past, then it is likely you shouldn't have a problem with keeping those particular species of plants in a home with pets.
The most important thing for you do to when assessing your current plant situation, is to dig a little bit deeper and find out exactly how toxic certain plants can be and how they can affect your animal.
Let's begin by looking at a list of the 10 Most Common Poisonous Plants:
Marijuana - Animals who attempt to snack on this plant can suffer serious consequences such as diarrhea, vomiting, increased heart rate, drooling, in-coordination, and even possibly seizures and coma.
Sago Palm - While the seeds and nuts of this plant are most poisonous, the entire plant is toxic. Animals ingesting parts of this plant may suffer from diarrhea, vomiting, depression, seizures and liver failure.
Lilies - Plants of the lily variety are very poisonous to cats. Even very small amounts of this plant could cause serious kidney damage.
Tulips - The toxic portion of this plant is the actual bulb, which can cause drooling, central nervous system depression, gastrointestinal irritation, cardiac issues and convulsions.
Azalea - The toxins in azalea plants can be very severe and potentially cause drooling, diarrhea, vomiting, central nervous system weakening and depression, and in some cases possibly coma or death.
Oleander - All portions of this plant are poisonous and can cause gastrointestinal irritation, hypothermia, heart problems and possibly death.
Castor Bean - Poisoning as a result of this plant can cause abdominal pain, drooling, diarrhea, vomiting increased thirst, loss of appetite and weakness. More serious cases could also lead to dehydration, tremors, seizures, twitching muscles, coma and possibly death.
Cyclamen - The most poisonous portion of this plant is located in the root. Ingestion of the plant can cause severe vomiting and gastrointestinal irritation. In some cases death has been reported as a result.
Kalanchoe - Ingestion of this plant can cause gastrointestinal irritation and cardiac rhythm and rate problems.
Yew - Poisoning as a result of the yew plant can affect the nervous system and cause in-coordination, trembling and breathing difficulties. It may also result in gastrointestinal irritation, cardiac failure and could possibly lead to death.

Some may think of this a treat and most recipes online are. I've made a couple of tweaks so it's a guilt free indulgence. By leaving out the sugar, honey, maple syrup, sugar substitutes and artificial sweeteners. Then adding homemade fermented creme fraiche for a probiotic boost. Calamansi (sweet lime flavor) was added to give a fruity note.
2 avocados
1 c creme fraiche or heavy cream
3 tbsp calamansi or lime juice
Place all ingredients into vitamix, blender or food processor. Puree till smooth. You can enjoy at this point or freeze.
I placed in the freezer and stirred ever 15min till frozen.
This would be luscious with an ice cream maker!

What an idiotic rant, but not a surprise given Kobe Bryant's track record as a big baby.
With the Clippers getting more attention and the Lakers falling flat, it was only a matter of time before we were going to hear from him.
"I wish management would come out and either trade [Pau Gasol] or not trade him," said Bryant, who threw a tantrum five years ago in demanding to be traded.
Obviously, superstars should be seen and not heard.
The trading deadline is March 15, and so what is Bryant saying here, that he'd like to see the Lakers at a competitive disadvantage?

China's Purchasing Managers Index, or PMI hit a six month high on Tuesday to close the month of June at 51. It as 50.8 in May. The rise shows continued momentum in the Chinese economy.
On Monday, China's President Xi Jinping warned the Communist Party not to be complacent with the reform agenda now that the economy is heading in the right direction. Investors have been watching for signs of progress as China slowly opens its economy to foreign investment and shifts gears from an export driven economy to a more domestic consumer focused one.
Later this month, Beijing and Washington officials led by Secretary of State John Kerry and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew will discuss the sixth annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue. Carving out an Asian-Pacific defense power structure as well as creating a bilateral investment treaty are top agenda items.
As China gradually opens its economy, foreign corporations are expected to pump billions into the Chinese market in an effort to serve a growing middle class Chinese consumer base.
On Sunday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus ahead of the July meeting.
"The PMI reading continued to improve in June, indicating that the economy has basically stabilized," Zhang Liqun, a researcher at the Development Research Center said in a statement. "Various measures to stabilize the economy have become effective," Zhang said.

West Africa Troubles
A group in Nigeria may be responsible for producing superior quality counterfeit $100 notes for circulation in Vermont (US), according to German officials in Berlin. (Source: here). If the source of the superior bills is correct then how can the Nigerian government persuade the counterfeiters to exploit their technology in a lawful, more meaningful and more profitable way?

Is the National League Just Inferior?
Once Again, the American League Is Winning the Interleague Battle
If new MLB commissioner Rob Manfred decides to rethink the All-Star Game, one option would be to award World Series home-field advantage to the league that wins the interleague season series. On the surface, that method seems fairer than pinning it on the outcome of a glorified exhibition.
But on second thought, there may be one problem with this approach: The National League wouldn't stand a chance. The American League sits on the verge of winning interleague play for the 11th consecutive year....

Tor Devs Say They've Learned Lessons From Carnegie Mellon Attack, But Worries Remain That They're Outgunned And Outmanned
from the trust-no-one dept
As it turns out, a new report from Kashmir Hill at Fusion notes that Tor developers had ample forewarning that something was going wrong. In fact, a Tor supporter sent a message to the Tor mailing list early in 2014 highlighting the odd behavior of these computers, but it was effectively brushed aside by Tor developers as nothing to worry about. That has of course raised concerns among the 2 million people that use Tor every day -- activists, human rights workers, journalists, and security-minded computer users among them. The revelation has obviously also devastated the reputation of Carnegie Mellon and the CERT Coordination Center.
Both the FBI and the university continue to deny the claims, for whatever that's worth:
"The allegation that we paid CMU $1 million is inaccurate," said a FBI spokesperson.Meaning, if you're familiar with semantic FBI parlance, that it probably paid a few specific researchers (not the University itself) $999,999.
Regardless, Hill's new report provides a lot more insight into the attack by Tor chief architect Nick Mathewson, who admits it wasn't the developers' finest hour, noting that he originally overlooked the threat because he believed it was too ham-fisted to actually be performed in the wild:
"I don't think this is the best response we've ever done to an attack situation," said Mathewson by phone... "It didn't occur to me that they would run the attack in the wild on random users," said Mathewson. "The way the attack was structured, it was a bad attack for anyone to get away with it. Once detected, it was very easy to block. It didn't seem to me like a deep threat."Of course, the end result of this oversight was not only the arrests and darknet site closures from Operation Onymous, but Operation Shrouded Horizon -- which targeted the Darkode black marketplace. And the markets are still reeling. Though it's always hard to differentiate an exit scam (where the site just runs away with the money held in escrow) from security concerns, numerous markets (like Middle Earth Marketplace) recently went offline claiming they're trying to implement upgrades that will make their drug bazaars more secure.
But Mathewson is quick to make the obvious point that while these arrests primarily targeted child pornographers and drug dealers, the attacks targeted everybody. And the use of supposed objective academics as attackers, the lack of warrants, and the lack of institutional oversight by Carnegie Mellon's Institutional Review Board sets a disgusting precedent for the security community:
"There's an argument that this attack hurts all of the bad users of Tor so it's a good thing," said Mathewson. "But this was not a targeted attack going after criminals. This was broad. They were injecting their signals into as much hidden services traffic as they could without determining whether it was legal or illegal." "Civil liberties are under attack if law enforcement believes it can circumvent the rules of evidence by outsourcing police work to universities," wrote Dingledine in a Tor blog post, which also questioned whether Carnegie Mellon had gotten approval from an institutional review board, a process that exists to ensure that academics don't harm human research subjects."For what it's worth, Mathewson says the Tor team has made numerous code changes to better scan the Tor network for potential threats, and are working on an as-yet unfinished revamp of the hidden services design over the last year. Tor is also working on what Mathewson calls a "new cryptographic trick" that will allow a hidden services directory to send Tor users to a hidden site -- without the directory knowing where it's sending them. The developers have also apparently learned a thing or two about trust, Mathewson stating they're no longer "extending security researchers the benefit of the doubt on anything." Good idea.
The central question of course is whether Tor has the manpower needed to keep such an integral technology operational and secure. Eighty percent of Tor's $2.5 million budget still comes from the government, so Tor is operating a crowdfunding campaign to expand the funding base for obvious reasons. But Tor only has 22 full- and part-time employees, and 10 volunteers and academics who consistently contribute code, which directly contributed to the attack not being taken seriously earlier. As such we're left wondering if Tor can be trusted moving forward and, if not, what comes next for the millions of users that depend on Tor for perfectly-legal anonymous communications?

Resolution Renovation: Shoebox to Storage Box
During the month of January, we'll be posting photos and tips on DIY renovation projects from our readers. The first twenty submissions posted will receive an AT bib or T-shirt. Please click here for all the details.
Here's a project from reader Nomad Mama that makes good use of something that otherwise ends up in the garbage (or, hopefully, the recycling). She made a sweet, useful storage box out of an ordinary shoe box.
Location: Cary, North Carolina
Project Details: Here is a really simple project that I did to make an attractive storage box for my daughter's room. I just took the bottom part of a shoe box, covered it with glossy gift wrap paper, and then added a couple of embellishments to it. Super easy, we all have unwanted shoe boxes and perhaps some left over gift wrap lying around!
Materials used: Bottom part of shoe box, gift wrap (can use any kind of paper!), scissors, scotch tape, a couple of embellishments.
Time taken: Under 30 minutes
Level of difficulty: Basic
Best project tip: A collection of boxes covered with your favorite papers can look great lined along a shelf. Quick, easy storage!
Thanks for sharing a great project! See more at her blog, Nomad Mama.

What did you do on your 13th birthday? Stare at loads of sexy ladies in their knickers? Yeah, us neither, and if you did, we don't want to hear about what you did on your 14th. Because it's probably weird.
But ... (and yes, we're getting to the point now) it's Ultimo's 13th birthday, and that's a good enough excuse as any to look at all their celebrity models. There are some who make us a bit jealous - that'd be Kelly Brook's amazing body - and some celebs who we'd forgotten even modelled in their pants. Who knew that Suzanne Shaw and Kimberley Stewart modelled for Ultimo? And that Sarah Harding had that hair? And that Gemma Atkinson and Amy Childs wore the same brand as Helena Christensen?
Here's a gallery of just some of the celebs who took their clothes off for Ultimo ... not Peaches Geldof, though. In March 2010, she was dropped by the brand after a naked photo scandal.

Why do sweet potatoes get to have all the fun? There's room in this town for another orange fry. That's right. Introducing an old friend in a new role: Miss Butternut Squash. Tasty, charming, and unexpected, this seasonal wonder in fry form is sure to add a little umph to the dinner table. Stylish and fun, it won't disappoint.
The butternut squash fry is a pretty simple one to prepare. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Grab your veggie peeler and peel the skin from your squash. The peeler makes this task a cinch! Once your squash is in the nude, chop off its very top and bottom bits. Cut it in half lengthwise, and with a soup spoon, use a little force to quickly scoop out the seeds.
Taking each squash half, sever the round portion from the tall neck. Slice each squash quarter into thin, fry-like pieces. Place the butternut squash fries on a baking sheet and coat with olive oil. Don't be shy with the olive oil - a nice, healthy pour will add a delicious element of fry glam. Now give some good shakes of salt and black pepper. Throw 'em in the oven, and bake for fifteen minutes. Take them out and flip them around with your spatula. Put them back in for another fifteen, and that's it!
Your beautiful fries will be nicely browned, a little caramelized, and impossible not to eat right away. Add another sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime if you so desire. These fries give sweet potatoes a run for their money!

As we enter this Christmas season and ponder the meaning of the incarnation, the excerpt below from Philip Yancey's, "The Jesus I Never Knew" may very well shed some light in your heart on the light of the world — God in flesh.
The Jesus I Never Knew
~ by Philip Yancey
I learned about incarnation when I kept a salt-water aquarium. Management of a marine aquarium, I discovered, is no easy task. . . You would think, in view of all the energy expended on their behalf, that my fish would at least be grateful. Not so. Every time my shadow loomed above the tank they dove for cover into the nearest shell. They showed me one "emotion" only: fear. . .
To my fish I was deity. I was too large for them, my actions too incomprehensible. My acts of mercy they saw as cruelty; my attempts at healing they viewed as destruction. To change their perceptions, I began to see, would require a form of incarnation. I would have to become a fish and "speak" to them in a language they could understand.
A human being becoming a fish is nothing compared to God becoming a baby. And yet according to the Gospels that is what happened at Bethlehem. The God who created matter took shape within it, as an artist might become a spot on a painting or a playwright a character within his own play. God wrote a story, only using real characters, on the pages of real history. The Word became flesh.
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
–John 1:14

"Sis, I heard result is out, can you look into mine, I will message you my index number" came panting voice filled with anxiety and impatience. "Just now I am having lunch, I will go check right after lunch" said I and ended the call. Anxiety and curiosity filled my stomach so full that taking another bite is just out of question. So I did my dishes and hurried to office. The way to office never felt so long. With each step my heart beat increased and curiosity raised its bar.
After what it felt like hours (which was actually 10 minutes), I was in front of my desktop. I opened Bhutan news and there the names of toppers were announced corresponding to the scored percentage. I could not find the site where the results were displayed. I asked my friend and came to know that the site is currently not loaded and it will be coming out shortly. So I was compelled to wait again ( worst thing I ever have to do).
My waiting was finally over when my friend messaged me with a link. Following the link I came to a page where I have to punch in the index number. After having punched what felt like never ending 12 digits index number, I waited for the page to display the result. I remained still with my pupils fixed straight on the displayed page. What should I do next, should I call her or not, should I say my net isn't working or should I just say that the result is not out yet, those were the questions jumping in and out of my head while my eyes still scanning the marks from top to bottom.
While I remained battling with my thoughts, my phone rang and the incoming call displayed my sister's name. Since I could not talk at that moment, I pressed the red button and started to message her marks with shivering cold fingers. About ten minutes after sending the message, I decided to call her. "Hello" came a low spirited voice filled with anguish and sadness. My heart sank, lips dried and throat tightened, I thought I won't be able to speak a word. The loathsome part of being an elder sister is when one has to comfort and shower your warm words to the little one's when actually you yourself are the one in need of it. So there I went with my words, "Ong Yangchen, did you get my message". "Yes I got it "came back the plain reply. " I am glad that you have managed to get PCA this time, so congratulations dear" I blurted out.
"My English mark is very low, I won't be able to get admission in any of the college" came the crying voice. " Oh that is not the problem dear and more over you only need a pass mark in English( that was a lie because many college demanded a minimum of 50 marks in English), I am sure there are many college that will welcome you. Don't worry; you will be able to enjoy your study in a very good college. Stop thinking about your marks and prepare yourself for your college life. Common dear you are going to be attending a college and I assure you that you will have a very good college life. So just be happy and eat well. Keep healthy and take care of yourself tubga dear" was everything I could say to comfort
"Yaya Azhim…byee" she said with the biggest sigh ever. "ok bye, catch you later" I said and ended the call. The next moment I found myself going through the Criteria for admission into Tertiary Education Programmes for the Academic Year 2015. Scanning through the criteria for each college, I decided I have to eat ice-cream tonight.

The annual company picnic. You've been there. Hot and sticky outside, with cold fried chicken and warm potato salad and all the watered down lemonade you could possibly drink. It doesn't have to be like that, though!
City National Bank & Trust turned up the heat this year by throwing a "Family Fiesta" for their employees on Cinco de Mayo. "From the invitations to the employees to the event itself, we focused on the Cinco de Mayo theme," said De Roin Motah, Marketing Manager, "and it was a hit!"
With 35 locations across the state that are open six days a week, the event planners had to find a central location for the picnic… and it had to be on a Sunday. "The reason for the family picnic is to get our families together," De Roin said. "They are all part of our bank's family and we want them to meet each other. It builds teamwork and camaraderie."
And, the event planners have learned a few things about throwing a great company party. For instance, hosting the event in early May avoided the oppressive Oklahoma summer heat, but it was also before graduations, weddings and vacations. Experience has taught them to plan plenty of activities, too. The Family Fiesta featured:
"We also learned to hire out for the family picnic," said De Roin. "When the employees are working the event, they don't get to enjoy it… and that defeats the purpose of getting everyone together!"
To that end, City National had the event catered by Ted's Cafe Escondido (a VERY popular Mexican restaurant in OKC) and had a vintage ice cream truck arrive for dessert.
Next year, the annual event (which had over 400 attendees!) will probably move to a different venue, such as the OKC Zoo, where the entertainment factor is provided by the venue for a change of pace, said De Roin. However, everyone will certainly remember the 2013 Family Fiesta!

A Billion Reasons Why by Kristin Billerbeck
He's a handsome billionaire. She's not impressed.
Katie McKenna has never loved any man but one: billionaire Luc DeForges. He was her first love. But there are a billion reasons why she's engaged instead to Dexter Hastings, a solid and stable man who wants the same things she does: marriage and a family but all of the things that she wants without the deep-seeded pain and fear of being abandoned that Luc brings. Dexter and she have worked an arrangement that's akin to faith without action, love without deeds -- a dead faith. Going home to New Orleans to sing for her childhood friend's wedding, Katie must search her heart to find out if any of her reasons for being with Dexter are stronger than love. Only when Katie steps fully into faith and jumps off the cliff of life into the arms of Luc does she understand the fullness of God's grace.
For starters, I absolutely loved this book. Not only did it incorporate romance, but it also included a strong willed girl, willing to follow her instincts. The only thing that bothered me about this book was that it ended to soon. I wish that there was a sequel I could read. I loved Luc and knew I would fall in love with him the second her was introduced into the story. The chemistry between him and Katie was explosive. The story line was a little clique. I hated Dexter as a character just because he was the one in the way of Katie and Luc. This book is a romance fanatics dream. I would recommend it to anyone willing to dive into such a tale.
This book was provided to me by Booksneeze.com. This review is my own thoughts and opinions.
1 comment:
'A Billion Reasons Why' is a traditional romance novel, with a Christian slant, written by Kristin Billerbeck and published by Thomas Nelson. The back cover reads: "Katie McKenna leads a perfect life. She has a fulfilling job, a cute apartment, and a wedding to plan with her soon-to-be fiancé, Dexter. She can think of a billion reasons why she should marry Dexter. He's everything she wants in a husband. And then in walks Luc DeForges, her bold, breathtaking ex-boyfriend. Only now he's a millionaire. And he wants her to go home to New Orleans to sing for her childhood friend's wedding. As his date." I thought this book was alright. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it wasn't bad. It was nice to read, what I would call, an old school romance. It was however quite predictable, I think most people will have guessed the ending by the end of the first chapter. This book is a nice one to read if you want a light easy going read, and is a good option for those that want a more sedate romance novel, as opposed to the more "bodice-ripping" variety.ReplyDelete

The Toronto-based organization The Spoke Club recently teamed up with the Island Yacht Club to offer joint membership to members of each club. The partnership not only helped the Island Yacht Club recover from a steep decline in membership, but it also helped members of The Spoke Club access a whole new range of services.
To solidify the partnership between The Spoke Club and the Island Yacht Club, the two organizations created a combined experience called Spoke on the Water. The joint membership promotion now allows members of each club to enjoy the urban amenities offered at The Spoke Club, as well as the nature-oriented activities found at the Island Yacht Club. As outlined on the Spoke on the Water website: "This special partnership provides continuity in hospitality, ambience and programming between both clubs while allowing members to enjoy the unique benefits of each facility."
The unique partnership between these two Toronto-based organizations demonstrates how clubs can attract new members by offering a greater range of amenities.

Vermont Blended Online Hybrid Graduate Programs
Hybrid graduate programs combine the convenience of online study with in-person on campus requirements. Many human centered fields such as psychology, social work and health and medicine offer hybrid degrees so that students are able to develop interpersonal skills. In business and technology disciplines, the blend of distance learning with onsite team building classes may provide a great way for current professionals to earn a grad degree while maintaining their jobs. If you need flexibility and want a low residency format, a hybrid graduate degree program is well worth considering.
What is a Hybrid Degree?
Sometimes referred to as 'blended online', 'partially online' or 'distance learning hybrid' programs, a hybrid graduate degree is one that has both online and classroom components.
In some occupations, you're likely to need a master's degree to qualify for entry-level jobs. In others, a master's degree may not be required, but having one might lead to advancement or higher pay (BLS)
Online Features
Usually, coursework in a hybrid program is delivered via an online course management system through which assignments are submitted. Lectures are often pre-taped or pre-recorded so students have 24/7 access to their course material and some freedom to pace their study. There are also programs that have live streaming webinars, or a combination of the two formats. Sometimes students use textbooks or manuals to accompany the coursework, other times e-books are used.
To stay connected with classmates and faculty, emails, texts, web chat, web cameras, and online group discussion boards may be used. Plus, your on campus requirements are likely to include face-to-face meetings and introductions.
Access is two-fold; hybrid graduate students may make use of the campus facilities (libraries, laboratories etc.) as
well as use virtual library and online research tools.
On Campus Features
Since the point of offering distance learning is to provide academic flexibility for working professionals, most of the graduate schools that offer hybrid programs try to minimize the time spent in physical classrooms. How is this achieved? It is pretty common to find 'intensives' or 'short residencies' which may mean a few 'weekend retreats' during the course of study. Intensive is a good word; a lot of material is crammed into a brief time period! But then again, you get to network and interact!
Potential Benefits of Hybrid Graduate Programs
In some academic fields, a fully online program would not work. Certain skills can't be taught entirely from a distance, and some things need to be demonstrated by the instructor. Other times the need to collaborate with fellow students is best achieved in person. Many distance learning universities and colleges understand this and offer blended programs. Other times, as in the case with hybrid psychology programs, the need to be evaluated for your people skills cannot be done over the Internet. Usually, you will see this reflected in your search – you may find a program classified as 'online' but when you read the fine print, there are actually on campus requirements. Note though that this is in your favor. For instance, the hybrid PhD programs or hybrid masters programs with real-time practical components may mean more one-one times with your professor or supervisor.
How to Search For A Hybrid Degree in Your Field
Searching for hybrid programs on GradSchools.com is really easy.
First, look through the directory and choose your field of study. Programs are available in a variety of areas and sub-disciplines.
Hybrid Business Graduate Programs: Looking for a Hybrid MBA? Want to earn a Master of Finance (part-time hybrid)? These are only a few of your choices. Business covers accounting, healthcare administration, marketing, advertising and other management programs

Hybrid Education Graduate Programs: Looking for a low residency, flexible way to earn a Master of Education, an M.Ed. in Int'al Edu, with ESL Specialization or a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership?
Hybrid Fine Arts & Design Graduate Programs: Whether you seek an MFA in Music Composition, or a PhD in Media Psychology, blended online fine arts programs may incorporate technique and theory.
Hybrid Health & Medicine Graduate Programs: Partially online study lends itself well to patient-centered fields; Doctor of Nursing Practice, Masters in Athletic Training and MS in Health Care Management Part-time hybrid are a few options to consider, especially since you may have to fulfill onsite laboratory requirements.
Hybrid Liberal Arts & Humanities Graduate Programs: A vast field, you can choose from a Master of Arts-Literature and Writing, Master of Public Affairs & Social Sciences, Liberal Arts and Humanities and Master of Arts in Media Management –build interpersonal skills as you study from wherever you have reliable Internet.
Hybrid Math, Science & Engineering Graduate Programs: Graduates interested in a Master's Degree in Aviation Science, or a Master of Science in Engineering Management might find it easier to advance their education while maintaining their job with the hybrid degree format.
Hybrid Public Affairs & Social Sciences Graduate Programs: Whether you are interested in a Master of Arts in Leadership, Public Policy and Social Issues or a Master of Science in Experimental Psychology, the blend of online and campus courses gives students a chance to learn essential leadership and interpersonal communications skills.
Hybrid Religious Studies Graduate Programs: Review choices such as Master of Arts in Religious and Pastoral Studies, or Master of Divinity distance-learning blended programs.
Hybrid Technology Graduate Programs: Many computer and technology related programs make use of computer labs, so whether you seek a Doctor of Computer Science-Enterprise Information Systems (Executive Format), a Master of Science in Applied Computer Science or a Master of Fine Arts in Art of Game Design, you can work autonomously while benefitting from a campus technology center.
Next, determine your degree level. Browse by hybrid masters, doctorates and graduate certificates.
Take the Next Step
Wondering whether a Hybrid Graduate Program is right for you? Take this quiz:
- Are you self-motivated?
- Do you enjoy a social learning environment? (i.e. brainstorming with fellow classmates, going for a coffee in between lectures, participating in activities)
- Do you like having personal interaction with professors (i.e. asking a question and it is answered in real time)
- Is it too hard to commute full time
- Are you looking for a part-time low residency graduate program?
- Do you have reliable Internet?
If you answered 'yes' then a partially online graduate degree may be a fantastic way to acquire the skills to potentially boost or shape your career or take you to the next level of learning.

In keeping with Sunday evening's theme — "Wonder of Creation" — at the Churchwide Gathering of Presbyterian Women, Barbara Rossing spoke of the enchantment of waking to the song of a bird, gazing at a waterfall or watching a child discover a new creature.
But is all well with the world we cherish? As Rossing described the failing health of the earth, she reminded the audience, "The cruelest injustice of climate change is that it hurts the poor — those who have done the least to cause the problem — the hardest ... As Christians, we should be concerned about that."
Recalling Deuteronomy 30:19, Rossing challenged the listeners with the urgency of choice. God says to the people, "(C)hoose life so that you and your descendents may live."
Rossing reminded the crowd that "choosing life" means living in a more sustainable way.
She also reflected that the time to choose life is now.
"We are living in an urgent moment ... a 'kairos moment,'" Rossing said, defining a kairos moment as "when your whole life comes to a focus, an urgent moment in time."
She pointed out that even in this week, those at the Gathering are at a kairos moment — a turning point.
In fact, Rossing said that the whole world is standing at a turning point, an "urgent kairos moment for God's creation."
As people consider how to work for renewable energy, sustainable food economies and the revitalization of local communities, Rossing asked, "How will we, our churches and our world, lead? How will we face this moment ... and how will our church inspire the world to take action, choosing the path of life?"
Rossing credited the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) with "what is probably the most visionary statement on energy use and climate change of any U.S. church, a statement called The Power to Change, that commits your church to ambitious goals for climate change advocacy and reductions in carbon emissions, for the sake of the healing of the world."
As we work to correct the wrongs of the past, the climate crisis can be an opportunity for evangelism, Rossing said. A church in Delaware put 180 solar panels on its roof, and because of this, new people were drawn to the church. A Seattle church brought hybrid cars to its energy fair. Many other churches are drinking fair-trade coffee and advocating for stronger clean energy and green jobs legislation in Congress.
Rossing, author of the 2010–11 Horizons Bible study on the book of Revelation said she believes "the book of Revelation can help us find the healing we need ... Revelation's images of renewal and healing — the river of life, the tree of life, the shepherding Lamb who wipes away our tears — these beautiful images can give us vision and courage today, as we stand ready to cross over into a new future.
"We stand at a crossing point, a kairos moment for our world. In little and big ways, each day, we are called to make choices that affect the whole creation," she said. "This moment really matters. Therefore 'choose life,' God tells us, 'so that you and your descendents may live.'"

Jews by Choice
What I've learned from all these encounters over the past 25 years is that EVERY Jew is a Jew-by-choice. From Boro Park to Bombay, being Jewish isn't easy and we all make daily decisions about what we eat, what we say, when we pray, etc.
Hearing about people choosing conversion who encounter barriers or discrimination really bothers me because we as Jews should do all we can to encourage those who would willingly join our ranks. Even in the relative safety of 21st Century America, it still isn't easy to be a Jew. Lots of holidays to take off, whole new sets of rules and regulations to consider (whether we observe all the commandments or not) and umpteen questions about weird topics like circumcision and matzah.
Now, I think we should keep up the tradition of turning would-be Jews away three times to make sure they are sincere in their quest. But once a person has made the commitment and immersed in the mikvah, he or she is a Jew and deserves all the rights and privileges as anyone who was born Jewish.
So maybe my own attitudes have de-facto attracted Jews by choice into my life. Maybe it's because of those Passover seders my parents would host when I was a kid where every stray person found a spot at our table. Or maybe it's just my insatiable social butterfly instinct.
Whatever it is, I hope it is a position that more people in the organized (and not-so-organized) Jewish community adopt. Might be a good solution to the economic crisis!

Great article! As a Jew by choice, I appreciate the support! I also laughed at the use of circumcision and matzah in the same sentence!

Nu, I agree completely, not that the world depends on my opinions. One of my favored peeves is Jewish bigotry; you know, the sort of stupid things some (or many) of us say or do to insult members of other groups. Face it, there're a lot of jackasses in the Jewish community.
Here I go: once upon a time I was acquainted with a Jewish female medical student. One fine day she passed a Chinese-American classmate (I was there)an let loose with her impromptu impersonation of Chinese people. It's the reason G-d created the word 'schmuck!

Amen to that. I have a whole website about it. It's hard being a Jew by Choice, although I have noticed the people who seem to be the most uncomfortable with the idea, other than the Ultra-Orthodox, are usually Jews that have no religious affiliation at all. I am not sure why this is? Is it like saying you are Italian when you are not.

For our second birthday after we married (which, for those of you who don't remember, fall on July 30 and 31), Beve and I were given tennis rackets by his parents. By the way, because I have this strangely precise memory, I can also tell you that they gave us pillows for our first. Anyway, Beve's parents knew their son loves (and excels at) all kinds of ball sports. And they even knew I'd taken tennis lessons a time or two over the years. That, actually should have been their first clue. I'd needed tennis lessons--more than once, at a most elementary level. Anyway, Beve and I took those tennis rackets out for a game exactly once. One single afternoon. That day I watched my very coordinated, very athletic husband go from playing tennis to teaching tennis, to batting tennis balls gently across the net while his poor hapless, definitely uncoordinated wife managed to miss or send into the net or send sailing over the fence tennis ball after tennis ball. I felt so badly for Beve that I almost cried. It wasn't that I was so terrible--I already knew I wasn't any good at tennis. It was that he was light years better and hadn't a chance on earth of playing sports with me. Probably any sport, come to think of it. Afterwards, I suggested that he find someone else to play with. He tried to tell me that he loved playing with me, but those tennis rackets never got used again.
Years later, while on a family vacation, my then 8-year-old son picked up a tennis racket for the first time to try his hand with it. Across the net was Beve. Beve came back to our condo and said, "You need to watch him play." By that afternoon, I was sitting on the sidelines watching J put spin on balls that he should have been missing with regularity for someone who'd never had a lesson. It was clear he'd gotten his eye hand coordination from his father rather than his mother. Thankfully.
Yes, thankfully. I've never been a jealous type. Not about such things, anyway. I mean, it would be ridiculous to be jealous or envious that Beve (or J) is a better tennis player than I am. I'm glad they're good at sports--just don't make me hold them up. I grew up in a home of very smart people. And shared a room with one of the smartest. When I was in high school, teachers would stop me in the halls to tell me how smart this sister was. Teachers I'd had the year before she did. "You aren't much like her, are you?" One asked. I laughed at that comment, because it was so glaringly true. And how proud I felt to be her sister. I couldn't compete with her brain, and didn't really want to try. I loved that she was one of the smartest people I knew. That she still is.
I bring this all up because a friend asked me yesterday if it made me jealous that Beve said that my friend was the most beautiful girl in our high school rather than me. I began to laugh. How ridiculous a question. If he'd have answered my name when I asked him, I'd have rolled my eyes at him because we'd have known he was merely being loyal. Not because it was anywhere in the same ballpark as true. I'm not looking for that from Beve. I'm not looking to be someone I'm not.
This morning I was thinking about what Paul means when he says, "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ." (1 Corinthians 12: 12). It means that even in these ways, we are given gifts for a purpose. Athletic talents, intellectual ones, the gift of physical beauty. Or creative talents. And these gifts are His. We're born with them and must assume that they're purposeful. For me to look at someone else's and wish for that is to decry His purpose for me. And it's critical that we understand that HE is the one who determines why we are what we are. He forms us. He gave us beauty or ability because He intended we use it to glorify Him.
And to build up His body. "The body is not made up of one part but of many." I need whatever you are, however you've been made, just as you need me. I'm thankful that I don't have to be or do or have it all. Thankful that we are in this together, that we get to rely on each other for the gifts and talents each brings. So the one with the good eye can see, and the good arm can swing and the good mouth can speak. We need each other. That's the word of 1 Corinthians 12.
We are expected to EACH cultivate 'the more excellent way.'
1 Corinthians 13. The way of love.
I've been thinking that for the however-long-it takes (interspersed with my usual musings of life around here) I'll delve into this chapter. This tends to be read as the great text at weddings, but I kind of think it's the great text of living as His disciples. We'll see where it takes us, shall we?
Oh, I guess you don't get a vote.
For today--who and what you are is from Him. In every sense. Be thankful for it. Look for ways to allow who you are to impact those around you.
For tomorrow-desire a more excellent way.

Specific deductions: gifts in kind and payroll giving: designated educational establishments
S110 Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005 (ITTOIA 2005); S106 Corporation Tax Act 2009 (CTA 2009); Taxes (Relief for Gifts) (Designated Educational Establishments) Regulations 1992, SI 1992 No 42
The educational establishment must be designated as such by the Government
Tax reliefs encouraging businesses to donate equipment to schools and universities were first introduced in 1991. The primary objective was to increase the provision of information technology and scientific equipment in educational establishments, although relief is also available for a much wider range of gifts.
As discussed in BIM45155 and BIM45165, tax relief is available for gifts of equipment which represent trading stock or plant and machinery of the donor business. The gift may be either new or second-hand. Cash gifts are not included in these provisions as relief is available via Gift Aid for individuals and Qualifying Charitable Donations for companies (see BIM45150).
Relief is only given if the recipient is a designated educational establishment. Specific regulations, referred to at S110 ITTOIA 2005 for unincorporated businesses and S106 CTA 2009 for companies, list these. All UK universities, and in England, schools maintained by the local education authority, grant maintained schools and special schools not maintained by local authorities are designated educational establishments. See Taxes (Relief for Gifts) (Designated Educational Establishments) Regulations 1992, SI 1992 No 42.
The relief also applies to specific institutions in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. It does not, however, apply to youth clubs, youth centres and voluntary youth organisations.

Different behaviour for url parameter in dev run versus test run

URL configuration:
url(r'^/find_thing/(?P<thing_name>.+)/$', 'django_mi.app.views.find_thing', name = 'find_thing'),
def find_thing(request, thing_name): print thing_name # perform look up of thing and return.
In the development environment (manage.py runserver) the view works well when passed a string with a space in it, say 'my thing'.
The portion of the url representing the parameter shows up as 'my%20thing'.
I then wrote a test for the view using Django's test client. I used the utility reverse() method to pass the path to Client.get().
The test failed (the query set was empty) for identical input.
I added a print statement inside the view. On accessing the view in the development environment the parameter was printed as
'my thing'. However on running the test it was printed as 'my%20thing'. The latter caused the database lookup to return empty.
Why is the behaviour different in development/production and testing?

Fixing this bug by adding urllib.unquote to the spot where PATH_INFO gets set in the test client. Based on
what I saw at django.core.servers.basehttp:565. That occurs for requests that come in via a normal client (on a dev server).
I've made a few minor changes to the test itself:
- mixed space/tab indentation changed to all spaces
- added cases to do a POST as well as a GET (since there are two separate code paths in the test client that set PATH_INFO)
Zero functional change cleanup changes in this patch:

Directed by Robert Lorenz. Written by Randy Brown. Cast: Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Robert Patrick, Matthew Lillard, Ed Lauter, Chelcie Ross, Ray Anthony Thomas, Bob Gunton, George Wyner, Jack Gilpin, Peter Hermann, Scott Eastwood. (PG-13, 110 mins)
Four years since he last appeared onscreen in 2008's GRAN TORINO, Clint Eastwood returns in the first film he's starred in without directing since 1993's IN THE LINE OF FIRE. Longtime Eastwood assistant director/producing partner Robert Lorenz makes his directing debut with TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE, and also demonstrates the same laid-back, leisurely-paced feel of many of Eastwood's late-career behind-the-camera efforts. Unlike a lot of non-Clint-directed films that he probably backseat-directed but didn't care enough to take the credit (meaning, THE DEAD POOL or PINK CADILLAC or anything supposedly directed by his decades-long pal Buddy Van Horn), Lorenz probably was in charge on TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE, if for no other reason than its utterly generic, Hallmark Channel TV-movie feel, right down to the bland, manipulative score by the usually reliable Marco Beltrami. Eastwood's been composing his own jazzy scores for years. There's no way Beltrami's by-the-numbers score would be on this if it was Eastwood's movie.
The fill-in-the-blanks script by first-time screenwriter Randy Brown leaves no cliche unutilized and no heartstring untugged. It would be pretty hard to take if not for a cast of pros, all of whom almost certainly signed on without even reading Brown's script just to get a chance to work with Clint. And at this point in his life and career, all the man really needs to do is show up and be Clint and we're hooked. Even at 82, he's still got the same screen presence he had nearly 50 years ago in A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, and as he's gotten older, no one has cornered the market on gruff, crotchety old bastards like Eastwood. He doesn't try very hard here, because he doesn't have to, and he turns in a very natural performance that demonstrates a cozy familiarity that his fans, especially the now-elderly ones who've been with him since his TV days on RAWHIDE, clearly welcome.

Like most MCV frameworks the controller passes the variable to the view.
Something like this in codeigniter:
$data["user"] = User::find($id);
$this->load->view('user/profile', $data);
Or Laravel:
$data["user"] = User::find($id);
return View::make('user.profile', $data);
Now if we would try to get some autocomplete the $user var in view we get nothing.
Was it getName(), getSurname() … no I'm pretty sure it was getLastName()..Ah we'll need to look it up in the Class.
What! But Why? I've paid good money for this IDE and it's awesome autocomplete function, why doesn't it work??
First of all, don't blame your IDE dummy. How would it know wat those resources are? It doesn't.
Now heres the magic how it does:
Just add the @var PHPDoc to your view, just as you would in a Class.
/*@var $user User*/
No more "no suggestions".
PS. MOST IDE will make the magic happen, the only one I've tested which doesn't is Netbeans. Be free to add more in comments.


text: If what happened to Big Ten football teams last weekend is any indication of how the rest of the season might go, many may have trouble ahead. With all these so-called big-time teams scheduling Division I-AA opponents in an effort to fill out the 12-game schedule, embarrassing upsets were bound to happen. Northwestern became one of four I-A teams to be humiliated, losing to New Hampshire by 17 points. Then there's the Big Ten playing the Mid-American Conference. Indiana's one-point escape from Ball State and Purdue's overtime win over Miami (Ohio) are typical tip-toes through a mine field. Heck, Michigan State struggled with Eastern Michigan for a half. What about the Big Ten vs. the Big East? No comparison, right? Don't tell that to Illinois, which was shut out by Rutgers, or Iowa (without quarterback Drew Tate, sidelined with an abdominal muscle strain), which had to go overtime to beat Syracuse. And, of course, there was Penn State's disaster at Notre Dame. "Those games don't say anything about the league," Indiana coach Terry Hoeppner said before the announcement of his leave absence for health reasons. "But it does speak for college football. There are so many quality football players out there. Guys are finding places to play. When I was at Miami (Ohio for 19 years), there were guys in the MAC who could play for any program. Beating a BCS conference school was a big deal. "At Indiana, we treat them the same -- respect all, fear none." The Hoosiers will be challenged this week with avoiding the dubious distinction of losing to a I-AA team when Southern Illinois visits Bloomington. "The 85 scholarships (limit by the NCAA) have made for more parity," said Purdue coach Joe Tiller, keeping to the coaches' party line. Most coaches are still bemoaning the NCAA's decision to limit scholarships in an effort to keep costs down and to better stay in line with the "separate but equal" edict with women's sports in Title IX. "There are a lot of MAC players that would be good players in the Big Ten," said Tiller, whose Boilermakers entertain Ball State Saturday. "There are 119 Division (I-A schools), each one has 10 fewer scholarships. That's 1,190 fewer players in Division (I-A) today than there were seven or eight years ago. That's a big difference." There was a time, not too long ago, when playing a Division I-AA team had few redeeming factors for a I-A program. A win over a I-AA team could only be counted toward the bowl-eligible victory total once every few years. However, the inception of the 12th regular-season game has changed that rule and makes every game count toward that magic number - giving more teams the incentive to schedule, while giving the smaller schools bigger paydays. For instance, Indiana State, which struggles to get 2,000 fans to a home game, was thrilled to play at Purdue in front of 50,000, while taking home a check for a quarter-million dollars -- and a 60-35 loss. First-year Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald refused to let his Wildcats feel embarrassed. "What we feel now is a sense of urgency to get better," Fitzgerald said. "We're frustrated (about the loss). It's time to step up and play our own style." The loss spoiled a solemn salute to Randy Walker, the Northwestern coach who died suddenly over the summer. "I know (Walker's) not very happy with us right now in heaven," Fitzgerald said.

Frieda Hughes on BBC Radio 3
Thanks to Gail Crowther for bring this to our attention.
16 comments :
I'm able to listen to it right now, though it's too early for the "Frieda Show" - are we not supposed to be able to get this in the US? It appears that we can access it here - now, if I can only get up that early after being up this late....thx Peter! kim
- 28 February, 2010 03:01
thank you for having told about the programme,,im listening to it right in this moment.and it is the very first time i hear Frieda's voice. it's thrilling and moving for me because she's got a very similar tone of voice of her mother(most of all she gets it when she reads her poems) and it's emotional to me because she reminds me so much her mother and it's touching.
thank you Peter for having given this nice sunday gift ;)
p.s apologize for my horrible english.
best regards,Nina-Italy

The musical selections were quite wild; all very lovely. It was great to hear Hughes read her poems. "For Nick", an elegy for her brother, tore a hole in my chest. "Doll" I like better hearing rather than reading and suspect that this could be the case for many of her poems.
Lots more one could say. Any other listeners out there??
Nina, thank you for your comment. Not too long at all!

I am not sure but I think you can access the show in the next two weeks on bbc 3, that is what they do for the other radio programmes. Her voice is so similar to her mother', incredible. To me Frieda sounds like a very confident woman.
- 28 February, 2010 10:19
I'M DEVASTATED! I missed it! I really hope, I'll be able to listen to it somewhere!
If someone knows for sure, please please let me know!
I wanted to tune in sooo badly! :(

I was searching for the poem and I found the link to the show, available to listen for the next seven days ;)
- 28 February, 2010 10:35
- Peter K Steinberg said...
Thank you for posting that link!!
Kristina, I also find the voice quite similar to that of her mother. The cadences, the words chosen, even. The attitude towards poetry and its composition...

I heard the Private Passions programme before when Tori Amos was on, and I remember thinking how fascinating an idea it was to share musical selections and talk about their influence in the lives of the famous.
I enjoyed this throughly! Thanks for the link, Anna.
- 28 February, 2010 18:43
You're welcome ;)
I'm listening to it right now and loving it! :) When I listen to Frieda talking, it sounds like Sylvia reading her poetry, really, truly and honestly :)
By the way, Peter I bought your book and started reading immediately and I'm already loving it, even learned some new things in the indroduction ;)

Anna, I've heard of people buying my book to cure insomnia but never out of interest in the subject!!

Finally got the chance to listen to it. A strange experience, I really did not expect her to sound so much like Plath.
All the musical choices were either geared towards uplifting or empowering, what to make of that?
I'm not sure what I was expecting but I was surprised at her super-confident tone. I come away with the impression that she is a very resiliant woman with an great level of mental strength.
The children thing is very interesting and yet she writes books for children! She gives the impression that the burying of the doll story in the poem actually happened, a very strong emotional reaction for a child, I think - the kind of thing a psychoanalyst could have a field day with?!
- 01 March, 2010 18:47
- Peter K Steinberg said...
Thank you for such a thoughtful post! Was this the first time you'd heard Frieda's voice? The music played a game of tug of war...
Remember all of Plath's children's books were written before she had children (and some of Ted Hughes' too) - so there is something there in the family gene that enables them to write for children.
When I read the poetry of Frieda Hughes, I too feel like they are all so grounded in reality, in the factual. I'm sure there are moments of spontaneous creativity or something, but I find them accessible when there is something anchoring the poem in her history.
- 03 March, 2010 20:48
- Sorlil said...
Yes, it was the first time I had heard her voice. I haven't read a great deal of her poetry - it's hard to read it without comparing her (unfairly) to Plath and Hughes. However, I did enjoy parts of the 'Nick' poem that she read.
- 04 March, 2010 19:13
- Julia said...
I caught this link (and your blog) in the nick of time! Thanks to Anna, and to this site for posting it.
I hadn't heard any of Frieda's new poems, but I have 45 and Waxworks. She is a different kind of poet from her parents--lacking in all that smart double-entendre and symbolism-- but it is honest and heartfelt, and you can't knock that.

Does anyone know if it's still online somewhere, somehow?

Blanket ban on smoking at Euro 2012
Smoking will be completely banned at stadiums during Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, UEFA said on Thursday.
"UEFA... will enforce a complete ban on the use, sale or promotion of tobacco in all stadia involved in UEFA EURO 2012," said European football's governing body in a statement.
"The regulation will apply without exception to all spaces within stadia perimeters, both indoors and outdoors."
UEFA, which in contrast allows smoking at matches in the Champions League, said the policy had been drawn up with the World Health Organisation, World Heart Federation and the European Healthy Stadia Network.
"A tobacco-free Euro 2012 is about respecting the health of our spectators and everyone else involved in the tournament," said UEFA President Michel Platini.
"We uphold the highest standards of health, safety and comfort at our flagship tournament, and tobacco does not fit within them."

Yesterday, my roommate and I decided to make brownies. Originally we were going to make them Saturday, but we ran out of time. We got the recipe from the same cookbook that had the beef stir fry recipe. I can't say I was entirely pleased with them. They seemed a little bland at first (so we added the chocolate drizzle on top. That was entirely my roommate).
However, I had another one right after I took the picture and they're more delicious today. The flavours ripened, I think... there's not very many left either, so they were an apparent success.
They're kind of a marble brownie and the dough was way thick. They're really crumbly because of it-- but I think I kind of like it. You know, I'd call it more of a cookie, almost a biscuit (except made by creaming method and not biscuit method, which is sort of similar, but not really). But hey, we don't need catagories, really, as long as things are enjoyed.
Today I made cheese poofs. I got the original idea for the recipe because of Alton Brown. You see, I've got an interview with the South Park guys tomorrow, and they said "bring things that describe who you are, that'll give us an idea of who you are." Of course I'm bringing my art, and my demo reel... but really, what makes me up? It's art and cooking. So I'm also bringing along a page of my cookbook, though it's only in the beginning stages, as well as the cheesy poofs and the recipe for them.
Anyway, the original idea for the recipe was from Alton Brown. His is a loaf though, and I haven't tried it. But I wanted something more like a cheetoh. But more cracker like. Actually, I was going for sort of like a... a cracker biscuit. I thickened the recipe, used less milk, a little butter, oil... and I like it. It tastes like a cheez-it, kind of. It's crunchy, but thick. Next time, I'm gonna add more cheese and salt. But they're a good tasting snack. They need water to go with them-- gone are the days I can devour an entire box of cheezits without a break for water.
I'm quite happy with them. I'm really excited to give it to them -- I was worried about it at first, because I didn't want it to be a bribe... but really, it's a part of who I am. And the best way to show that is by demonstration (and taste testing!)
Though really, who knows if they'll actually eat them.
(They look kind of like chicken tenders though! I feel like they should be more orange!)
