This is one of those satisfying yet simple dishes that everyone needs in their repertoire. It makes the perfect family Sunday supper. Serve it with some crusty bread, a side salad and, of course, some wine to wash it all down.
This recipe is greater than the sum of its parts. Balsamic vinegar creates a fantastic, sticky sauce, and the sausage — assuming you buy the good stuff — imparts a lot of flavor to the finished dish. We used a spicy chicken Italian sausage, but a fatty pork sausage would add even more depth.
The recipe calls for boneless chicken thighs, which your butcher can do for you, but you can use bone-in chicken thighs instead; just increase the cooking time by about 10 minutes. For this recipe, it is best to leave the skin on, so it gets crispy and delicious.
One way to make the recipe even quicker and easier is to microwave the potatoes instead of boiling them. Just remember to poke holes in the potatoes beforehand. If new potatoes are not available, it is perfectly fine to use larger potatoes cut into wedges.

Crispy Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Sausage
Serves 2 adults and 2 kids
1 1/4 pounds small new potatoes
4 chicken thighs, boneless, with skin
Salt, pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
3 mild or spicy (about 3/4 pound) sausages cut in half
2 tablespoons fresh marjoram or oregano, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Big pinch chile flakes, optional
1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes; cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. Season thighs with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil. Add the chicken, skin-side down; cook about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Remove all but about 2 tablespoons fat from pan. Add halved sausages and fry for 5 minutes.
4. Drain potatoes and add them to the pan, along with the pan-fried chicken thighs. Scatter the marjoram or oregano leaves over everything. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with chile flakes.
5. Transfer pot to oven. Bake for 40 minutes, until golden and crispy.

|Law Street Beach on the 5th of July last year--early (before the crowds return!)
We're heading to my parents' place at the beach today and tonight. Living just half a block from Law Street Beach in Pacific Beach, my parents always invite the whole crew down for the 4th. The beaches are extremely jam-packed, so I usually just go for a walk on the boardwalk rather than face the sandy crowds and the stickiness of sunscreen. I'd rather hang out on the deck and enjoy the sunshine and the view in relative peace.
|Sunset from my parents' deck
Keith refuses the crowds--not that I blame him; he'd rather enjoy a quiet house than the beach crowds and my semi-insane family. I love watching the sunset first from the deck, and then the four-five fireworks displays visible from the deck starting at nine, and then Sea World puts on their display at 9:30; we "oooh" and "aaah" while eating dessert. Elizabeth made peppermint brownie bites and orange protein balls (Wild Orange oil, honey, dried cranberries, almond butter, and coconut, all rolled in coconut and chilled-yum!), and we'll pick up some ice cream to go with it.
In honor of Independence Day, I thought I'd post the same poet distributed this morning by the Academy of American Poets in their Poem-a-Day e-mail:

Better Homes, RSA in insurance tie-up
Dubai, July 28, 2008
Better Homes, a large real estate agency, has partnered with insurance major RSA to offer insurance cover at affordable rates.
The move comes in the wake of figures that show insurance penetration levels for the UAE are on the average 5 per cent, said a statement.
"It's so important for property owners and tenants to have adequate insurance,' said Billy Rautenbach, director of operations, Better Homes.
"We recognized that our clients were having trouble accessing a first class product so found them one that can be offered directly at the time of purchase or lease, with the added advantage of a 20-30 per cent saving against market rates," he added.
RSA, insurer of the year for the last two years, worked with Better Homes to come up with a product that offers extensive coverage at an affordable rate, starting from just Dh190 per annum, according to an official.
The insurance cover is for contents, home building and car insurance with pet, marine, medical and travel due to be added by the end of 2008.-TradeArabia News Service

The Father says today that this is a new beginning for you. Old things are passed away. All things are become new. Detach yourself from regrets of the past and move forward. Those things that you can't change and can't repair in your own strength – LET GO. I am the God of recovery and restoration. I will bring closure and I will settle every account with fairness and equity. Those who have hurt you, disappointments in life – LEAVE THAT TO ME says the Father and move on.
In the midst of disappointment and misunderstanding say to yourself "I will go ahead and seek the kingdom." Go ahead and seek the Kingdom says the Father and don't be surprised at what crops up as I restore to you that which the enemy has robbed you of and give back to you that which you thought was irretrievably lost.
It's time to move on says the Father. Relinquish the past. Let go. Trust me for the outcome and know that My hand is at work to will and to do My good pleasure in your behalf.

In this city of bridges, I am but a bridge to your loved ones. It's no wonder I ended up here in Pittsburgh. I think this place has wonderful energy. And Although I call this place home, I was born in Panama, and am Cuna Indian and mystical gifts have been part of my family for more generations than we can count !
What does all that mean anyway? It means I am a hybrid, of old indigenous ways and newer Spiritualist ways. I believe in the continuity of life and the Soul. I believe that we are a soul first and that our soul has a body, not the other way around ( that we are our body). I believe that the soul survives the physical death and that if it is still alive somewhere, it will have something to say and I make it my job to listen.
The short version of it all, is that I was born different but, aren't we all?
I started seeing Spirit people when I was 5 years old. I was always fascinated with everything related to God and Heaven, and I can remember begging people to take me to church with them, since that's when I felt closest to the Spirits. Little did I know that whether or not I found them , they had chosen me and had a plan for me. Our Loved Ones Who Live On in Spirit or LOLOS as I like to call them, found me, helped me, and continue to help me as I help you.

ESPN WSOP Main Event Recap: Episodes I and II16 September 2015
Nonetheless, the first two Main Event episodes were engaging and entertaining, thanks, in most part, to a heavy dose of Phil Hellmuth, who was at the featured table the entire evening.
Read on for a recap of the many highlights – and some lowlights – and for those who are holding out and watching the coverage without knowing the results, BEWARE of SPOILERS. There you go. Consider yourself warned.
SETTING THE SCENE: Episode 1 begins on Day 4 of the Main Event from the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino when, according to Daniel Negreanu, "everything changes." Fewer than 1,000 players are alive and 75 tables are in action. William Wachter, who at 94 years old became the oldest player to ever cash in the event, is announced by Tournament Director Jack Effel to a standing ovation and has the "shuffle up and deal" honors, but not before telling the crowd, "I didn't come here to lose."
The World War II veteran, who learned how to play poker as a merchant marine 74 years ago, receives more heavy applause when he busts out later in the show.
NOTABLE BUSTOUTS: JC Tran, former Main Event champs Jonathan Duhamel, Ryan Riess and Hellmuth, who gets sent to the rail in the final minutes of Episode 2 by Negreanu.
CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS: The typical crowd, including Brad Garrett, Ray Romano, James Wood, Jennifer Tilly and Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame.
NOVEMBER NINE APPEARANCES: Very little to speak of, but we do see eventual chip leader Joe McKeehen and Josh Beckley briefly, and watch Federico Butteroni talk an opponent into folding, prompting Norman Chad to call him "an Italian Jamie Gold."
MOST ENTERTAINNG HAND: Love him or hate him, Hellmuth's brilliance is on full display when bluffs his way to a 254,000 pot against Jae Kim, who sits to The Brat's right all night. Hellmuth, holding 7-6 offsuit, tries to steal the pot pre-flop and buy it on the turn, but can't shake Kim, who has a pair of eights in the hole.
Drawing dead after the river, Hellmuth announces he thinks Kim "might have pocket eights or pocket tens here," and then bets 70,000. Stunned, Kim immediately goes into the tank while Hellmuth badgers him, saying, "I'll take this one, kid; you take the next one," "There's no shame in folding, sir" and "Let me have this one, jeesh."
Kim desperately tries to get a read on Hellmuth before finally announcing, "I should have watched more TV of you . . . I don't know what all of this means." He eventually folds before saying to Phil, "Yeah, you called my hand. I'm out."
NORMAN CHAD LINE OF THE NIGHT: ESPN provides a canned piece about a married couple that cashed in the Main Event. During the segment, the husband, Tim explains that it was great he and his wife could comfort each other as they switched roles of having the bigger stack throughout the tournament, and the multiple-times-divorced Chad pounces on it by saying, "Lon, from my personal experience, in the end the woman usually winds up with the bigger stack."
PASS THE REMOTE: The second annual "Side Action Championship" is a complete waste of time, and I suggest fast-forwarding through it if you have the option. Chad announces before the piece that, "Frankly, I didn't think it would be back and frankly, I don't think it should be back," and this time he's not kidding. The "competition" features Hellmuth, Maria Ho, Phil Laak (who for some reason is wearing ski googles) and Jean-Robert Bellande playing a game of "shuffle board" on a poker table, trying to slide cards onto the card box. To say the piece was awkward and unfunny is a vast understatement.
WHERE'S KARA?: While we're playing TV critic, the question must be asked: Why is Kara Scott being underutilized? Believe me, more often than not, a sideline reporter adds absolutely zilch to a telecast, and most are there simply to provide eye candy for a male-majority audience. But Scott is much more than a pretty face and is always on point, providing a nice change of pace to the rapid back-and-forth between Lon and Chad.
But for some reason she was nowhere to be found in the first hour (although we did find out in the credits that Nordstrom Las Vegas provided her wardrobe), and she doesn't make an appearance in the second hour until the final minutes when she conducts Hellmuth's exit interview. Here's hoping we see more of Scott in future episodes.
TV CRITIC, PART III: OK, one last scolding for ESPN. The "EARLIER" box that's flashed up on the top left of the screen a couple times when they come back from a break is unnecessary. ESPN is trying to make like a golf telecast, when they shift to a player sinking a putt that wasn't shown live. The difference is that in golf, the "taped" footage took place in the previous few minutes. In this case, the ENTIRE episode happened more than two months ago, and there's no reason to try to hide that and attempt to lure non-educated viewers into thinking the action they "missed" took place while they were grabbing a beer from their fridge.
FIRST-TIMERS: Love the segment where Main Event rookies explain what they do for a profession (realtor, scientist, unemployed, "host of a crappy radio show") and why they wanted to compete. Best answer: "If I win I'd be more attractive to the ladies."
EPISODES 1 & 2 MVP: Phil Hellmuth gets plenty of air time, and he takes advantage of the opportunity.
One of the true highlights of the show is when Negreanu "randomly picks a card" and is sent to the featured table to sit with Hellmuth. (Call me a cynic, but I'm guessing that having Hellmuth and Negreanu go head-to-head was no accident). The two poker giants – who have 20 WSOP bracelets between them – engage in some interesting banter, and you can tell Kid Poker is genuinely troubled that he's the one who bounced Hellmuth from the tournament.
But before his exit, Hellmuth is as entertaining as ever. From buying ice cream for the entire table (although we never do see him shell out any cash) to telling an opponent who out-flopped him a couple times that it's like "biting off his leg to get out of the trap," to telling Scott after being bounced that Negreanu "feels like he needs to gamble against me because I'm so good," this is vintage Hellmuth. And that always makes for good TV.

Valentines? Bah, humbug.
"I guess I had a damn rough night and I'm still piecing it together ; There's a girl in my bed and I haven't even met her ; I had a damn rough night and I can't even remember ; Threw my clothes into the fire and turned into a streaker." - Artist Vs. Poet, Damn Rough Night.
Funny song. XD
Anyway, coming back to the title of my post.
No offence to anyone who is celebrating Valentines day for the FIRST TIME EVER, or celebrating it with a boyfriend who is actually from Malaysia (Ahem.. You know who you are ;p), but seriously. Was the whole point of Valentines day only to make every single (as in, without partner) person left feel like they're going to end up as old men / women with a collection of corncob pipes / 27 cats to keep them company in their old age???
I tell you.. Couples are so sadistic. D<
Valentines Day.
BAH. Humbug!

S: Summy and Nay's European Adventure 2011
BC: Designed and created by Summer Upton | Cheers, au revoir, and auf wiedersehen, !
FC: Summy and Nay's European Adventure | England, France, and Germany March 11-20, 2011
1: London is calling! | Nay had quite a time getting to ATL (bank, traffic), but she made the flight! | Catch the red-eye to London!
2: Our First Views of London
3: After almost 24 hours of travel and uncomfortable sleep on the plane, we finally arrived in Merry Ole England! | Our Tube station and hotel
4: We travel like locals on the Tube with our Oyster Cards!
5: A trick to remember when riding the Tube: MIND THE GAP! In other words, don't fall in the hole between concrete and car.
6: Our view as we exited the Tube | As we exited the Tube, the London Eye was in front of us, and the Big Ben clock tower (Big Ben is the bell.) was behind us.
7: Our first stop in London was to tour Westminster Abbey and the area around Parliament.
8: Westminster (or Westminister as Mom continued to call it) was so ornate and cluttered. Every spare inch (cm over here, I guess) is used. We walked on centuries of dead people and through tons of side chapels. We sawElizabeth I's and Mary Queen of Scots's tombs, Grave of the Unknown Warrior, Poets' Corner, the Coronation Chair and so much more. Just one month later, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Will and Kate) married where we stood. Amazing. | Mom's description to Dad on the phone that night: "That was in The King's Speech!"
10: Classic
11: London | Opposite page from top: Parliament clock tower (Big Ben), Tower Bridge (Mom's "London" bridge), classic red phone booth This page from top: St. Paul's Cathedral from Millennium Bridge, classic double decker bus, fish and chips
12: Begun on the ruins of the original Roman fortress at Londinium by William the Conquerer, The Tower has served as palace, prison, museum, and fortress. We didn't get to see all of it, but we definitely saw a lot of this historic site with a tragic past. One of the highlights was seeing the Crown Jewels, including the largest golden punch bowl EVER! We also saw the memorial on Tower Green to Anne Boleyn and others who were executed here.
13: Clockwise from top: One of six ravens guarding the Tower (London will fall if they are removed!), A view to the dungeons, Bloody Tower, Traitors' Gate, Colin the Yeoman Warder (also known as a Beefeater), center entering through The Byward Tower
14: Our second day in London began with a tour with the greatest tour guide known to man, Dave. He was very smart and funny (and the accent and cute looks were a plus as well!). He told us more than I could ever remember about London. We couldn't get enough of his stories.
15: We tried to watch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, but weather was too rainy. We did see lots of marching to and from the Palace though.
16: I finally found my way to Mecca! Shakespeare's Globe is rebuilt on the South Bank of the Thames near the original site using all authentic materials. The tour was incredible, mostly because our guide so loved the theatre and words of the Bard that we hung on her every word. I choked up several times listening to her and realizing where I was. The stage is gorgeous, complete with painted heavens. We got to be groundlings near the stage and then sit on the second-floor benches. I saw a bird perched up in the third floor waiting for the upcoming performance of The Tempest. We then went quickly through the Exhibition and saw lots of costumes and props from previous performances, a history of Shakespeare and the theatre, and even a stage fighting demonstration. Of course I then spent way too much money at the shop.
19: Out and about | A perfect last day in London for mother and daughter: A sunset trip up in the London Eye, a walk along the Thames, glazed nuts on Millennium Bridge, Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower, and memories to last a litetime!
20: Our next day was a travel day. We took a coach to catch our "ferry" in Portsmouth that would deposit us in Caen, France. Favorite memory: Larry talking to Mom and Spence about electricity and football (diagrams on napkins) | We stopped in Portsmouth at a museum showing the history of preparations for the D-Day landings, including a brief film, an ornate embroidery, and even some life-size models.
21: The American Cemetery and "Bloody" Omaha Beach
22: Arromanches | Code name: Gold Beach Later: Fort Mulberry
23: Bayeux, France: The Perfect Little Town in Normandy I'd been here before and loved it, so I was excited to get back. We went to the Bayeux Tapestry and ate a wonderful lunch featuring the local delicacy, apples. All was wonderful until I fell down/off the stairs/curb trying to get the picture to the right.
24: Bonjour, Paris!
25: Ooh, La La! "Window licking" along the Rue de la Paix
26: I've always felt at home in Paris, so sharing this wonderful place with Mom was one of the highlights of my trip. I got to share dinner on Montmartre, a freezing nighttime riverboat cruise, Notre Dame, the Champs Elysses, the Latin Quarter, Jardin du Tuilleries and outside the Louvre, souvenir shopping along the Rue du Rivoli, a croque royale lunch at a small cafe near Palais Royale, the Eiffel Tower, and many favorite Parisian experiences.
27: Home Sweet Home
28: Sightseeing in Paris Always a pleasure to see Notre Dame, Invalides, the Louvre, Arc du Triomphe, and Champs Elysses. But this time I found two new favorites: replica of Statue of Liberty and the Monument to Peace at Champs de Mars.
30: Built by the Sun King, Louis XIV, in the late 17th century, Versailles is so ornate, gilded, fantastic, unreal, and homey. We didn't have time for the full tour, so our tour guide Claire took us through as much as time would let us, including the King's State Rooms, King's Quarters, Queen's Apartment, Hall of Mirrors, and gardens. | Versailles: My New Holiday Home
32: Willkommen in Berlin
33: Our old-world hotel, once a private residence, was a stark contrast to our modern Parisian hotel. | Berlin is a modern city, still rebuilding from WWII damage and communist rule. But one of my favorite aspects of Germany: great food!
34: I found the German capital to be a city still recovering from a century of fighting and oppression. Even though the city endured two world wars, I think the worst atrocity was the erection of the Wall in August 1961. Families were separated literally overnight. And what I admire about this city is its ability to pay homage to the mistakes and hardships of its past, such as the double line of cobblestones marking the Wall's route and sections of the wall still standing as memorials and open-air mural galleries. My favorite memorial: the simple yet powerful Holocaust memorial near the Brandenburg Gate. Large, rectangular marble slabs shaped like coffins grow in height toward the middle. Perfectly poignant and overwhelming, especially at night.
36: Our exploration of the Wall culminated in visits to both Checkpoint Charlie and the museum dedicated to border crossings (both failed and successful). For a small fee, I got a picture with two guards at the checkpoint. (One even sang "Sweet Home Alabama" to me and asked to see pictures from home on my camera.) The museum holds displays of actual escape plans like a hot air balloon, cars with false trunks, luggage to curl inside, and even a zipline. The lengths to which these East Berliners would go for freedom is inspiring and sobering.

39: I was both looking forward to and dreading the trip to Sachsenhausen. I'm not sure what I expected to find there, but this wasn't it. The gate greeted us with the promise that "Work Liberates." There's not much left but a few cramped bunkhouses kept in tact for visitors. We saw several displays in the jail and kitchens. Most of the bunk houses are gone, and in their place are concrete, numbered markers. People have placed rocks and flowers in memory of those lost. Since we didn't have a lot of time, we completely missed the crematorium and execution ditch, but I think I'm glad. There also weren't many pictures of the suffering. Just hearing the stories was enough for me. The main purpose of the camp was to test soldiers' boots. Inmates were forced to march in boots too small or large for hours, leaving many crippled. The experience was made more stark on such a bitterly cold day.
40: Our brief walking tour showed us a meticulously restored city that was 75% destroyed on the night of February 13-14, 1945, killing over 35,000 people. Rebuilding this once great capital of Saxony has taken over sixty years and is still incomplete. Our tour guide Kristina (with a very thick accent) showed us comparison pictures, which were almost unbelievable. Reconstruction uses original materials and restores to the old world style. We saw the opera house and Zwinger, an outdoor entertaining space with porcelain Glockenspeil chiming bells. The most impressive part of the city is a gilded outdoor stone and porcelain frieze of Saxony's rulers unharmed by the bombs. We walked along the river and toured two restored churches: Frauenkirche (Lutheran) and Hofkirche (Catholic)..
41: Dresden, Germany: My favorite little German city (Don't tell Munich.)
42: Meissen Porcelain Factory Tour
44: After buying the only thing I could afford at the porcelain factory in Meissen (a five-euro medallion), I took a few pictures from the road and slept during the 2 1/2-hour ride back to Berlin. I awoke to darkness and city lights.
45: Our bus driver Peter dropped us at our restaurant, Faustus, next to KaDeWe (the largest European department store). We took an after-dinner walk to see the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church with destroyed spire. I didn't get run over by a bicycle rider, just almost. (Those Berliners don't play about their bikes!) Then we rode the U-bahn back to our Berlin home, Hotel Tiergarten. Mom and I talked a bit about the trip for a while, listing our favorite sights and memories. Then we started organizing and packing for our trip home, crossing our fingers that our suitcases were under fifty pounds each. As wonderful as this trip was, especially sharing the experience with Mom, I was so happy to be going home to my sweet baby Scout, who missed her mommy as much as her mommy missed her. Historic sights, new experiences, and quality time with my mom and new and old friends make this trip one I will hold in my heart forever.

Fact: Cinnamon is my second favourite herb/spice.
In case you're interested:
1 - Cumin
2 - Cinnamon
3 - Cardamon
4 - Thyme
5 - Coriander
Fascinating right?
I'm always on the look out for good cinnamon recipes, but had never got round to making cinnamon rolls.
Until now.
I used this recipe from Moms Who Think, without yeast as I was in a bit of a rush Saturday morning.
They turned out really bloody good, although really bloody dense... I really struggled to eat a whole, fist sized roll... maybe smaller is the way to go next time.


text: Scientist Joseph Torres is providing dispatches from Antarctica, where he's studying the disappearance of the Antarctic silverfish and the resulting effect on other animals. The decline is thought to be due to global warming. Silverfish are like krill in that many animals eat them (see a graphic of the silverfish's role in the food web here). Dr. Torres thinks that the fish are a bellwether for climate change - if silverfish go, other parts of the food web may be next. TampaBay.com has put together a very thorough overview of this issue and you should definitely check out the site.

Prayer in the BibleQUESTION: How significant was prayer in the Bible?
Prayer in the Bible is answered by God in miraculous ways. Throughout the Bible, we find many instances of God's people praying and God answering their prayers. Through this list, you will see that God worked significantly through the prayers of His people:
Abraham: God agreed to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if He could find 10 righteous people in those cities (Genesis 18:22-32). Unfortunately, this was not the case and these cities were destroyed. However, God still answered Abraham's prayer by sending His angels to remove righteous Lot and his family before the judgment fell. So, even though the evil cities were destroyed, the righteous in those cities were spared.
Moses: God miraculously answered many of Moses' prayers including the parting the Red Sea (Exodus 14:13-22) and giving the Israelites good water in the wilderness (Exodus 15:25). Perhaps the most miraculous answer that God gave to Moses was when Moses prayed that God would spare Israel after the incident with the golden calf (Exodus 32:7-14).
Elijah: God miraculously answered Elijah's prayer on Mt. Carmel when he rained fire from heaven in the showdown between God and the false god Baal (1 Kings 18:20-40 especially 37-38).
Daniel: Daniel's whole career was spent in prayer to God his prayers were miraculously answered. Daniel prayed to be shown the king's undisclosed dream and God answered him (Daniel 2:17-18). Daniel was thrown to the lions because he continually prayed to God and God spared him (Daniel 6:4-24). Daniel prayed for Israel and for forgiveness of their sins when the 70 years of captivity were nearing an end. God answered Daniel's prayer by sending Gabriel to tell him exactly when the Messiah would come (Daniel 9).
The church prayed for Peter: The early church in Jerusalem prayed for Peter after his arrest by Herod and God miraculously answered their prayer by sending an angel to free Peter from prison (Acts 12:5-10).
David: God answered David's prayer and forgave him for his sin after his adultery with Bathsheba (Psalms 51).
- Christians today worldwide: God has miraculously answered a prayer from every Christian in the world today when he forgave their sins, made them new creatures in Christ, and gave them His salvation.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? - We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
What is your response?
Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus
Yes, I am already a follower of Jesus
I still have questions
What is your response?
Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus

Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross aren't his real parents, obviously, but they're as proud of Michael J. Fox as his real ones could be.
For seven seasons (1982-89), they played mom and dad to Fox's wise-and-political-beyond-his-years Alex P. Keaton on the NBC sitcom "Family Ties." Both are pleased he's made a deal with the network for a fall 2013 comedy series based on his experiences as husband (to actress Tracy Pollan), father and individual living with Parkinson's disease.
"I'm so excited that Michael is doing [weekly] television again," Baxter tells Zap2it. "I don't have my finger on the pulse of what's going on in his life, all I can see is that he's taking this step to participate again on the television stage. And that must mean he's feeling good and is ready to be creative again, beyond the appearances he's been making."
Gross adds, "I'm thrilled that he's healthy enough to even consider this. One quote I heard was Michael saying something like, 'Well, what do you expect me to do? Just sit around and get fat?' I can't imagine him, with as much energy as he has, sitting around and getting fat under any circumstances. When you're a performer, you have a hunger for it."
The "Family Ties" cast regathered to receive the Fan Favorite honor at last year's TV Land Awards, but the California-based Gross says his personal encounters with Fox now are "few and far-between, because he's 3,000 miles away, and I don't get to New York as much as I used to." Still, Gross acted again (as did Baxter) with Fox during the latter's run on ABC's "Spin City."
Baxter and Gross, who share the same birth date — June 21, 1947 — reunite as on-screen spouses and parents in the Hallmark Channel holiday movie "Naughty or Nice" Saturday, Nov. 24. As their own careers continue, they're eager to see what Fox does next season, beyond his recurring role on CBS' "The Good Wife" and his stint on FX's "Rescue Me" that earned him his fifth Primetime Emmy Award.
"What else could that be but thrilling?," Baxter reflects. "I mean, he's such a talented guy. And such a mensch."

Ernst Fiedler (1861–1954)
Mathematics lecturer
Ernst Fiedler was born in Chemnitz on 22 July 1861. When his father, mathematician Wilhelm Fiedler, was offered a position as a professor of geometry at the Federal Polytechnic School in 1867, the whole family followed him to Zurich. The Fiedlers were eventually granted Swiss citizenship in 1875. Ernst Fiedler attended the grammar school in Zurich before studying in Berlin, Leipzig and Zurich.
Professor at the Federal Polytechnic School and other teaching work
After his PhD in Leipzig, he qualified as a private lecturer in mathematics at the Federal Polytechnic School in 1886 and became a supply teacher at the cantonal school. In 1889 he was made a professor of mathematics at Zurich's Industrieschule and in 1904 became the first rector of the renamed Oberrealschule, which he ran until 1926.
Military career
Embarking on a military career, he rapidly climbed the ladder and, aged forty-three, became the youngest colonel in the Swiss army. In 1889 he started giving lectures on military science instead of mathematics and taught ballistics at military school. He earned most of his merits as a sponsor of the Industrieschule, which he transformed into a recognised preparatory institution for a degree at ETH Zurich.
Ernst Fiedler died in Zurich on 16 July 1954 at the ripe old age of ninety-three.
Cover of Ernst Fiedler's college exercise book with the shorthand transcript of the lecture "Differential- und Integralrechnung" (Differential and Integral Calculus) given by Professor G. Frobenius in the winter semester 1879/80 (Hs 107:2).
Ernst Fiedler's identity card from the Federal Polytechnic School from 1879 (Hs 123:18).
Fielder's personal papers in the ETH-Zurich University Archives primarily contain shorthand transcripts of lectures from his university years in Berlin (Karl Weierstrass and Leopold Kronecker) and Zurich (Georg Ferdinand Frobenius, Wilhelm Fiedler, Friedrich Weber, Karl Friedrich Geiser and many more). The inventory can be consulted via the ETH E-Collection (external link).

Murder & Housewarming
Murder at the Four Deuces
Don Wannabe and his wife Madame MeMe are hosting a grand opening celebration for his new lavish speakeasy The Four Deuces. The cream and not so cream of society will be here. With gangsters, hit men, politicians, opera singers, molls, reporters, and many other interesting guests in attendance there are sure to be a lot of big deals being made here tonight.
Guest List
Matt S. - Don Wannabe - 36 - Big Jim Raviolis Chief Lieutenant. When he met his wife Madam MeMe, it was love at first sight. The 2 of them own a chain of houses of ill repute. He was hired by Big Jim to run his many businesses, as Big Jim wanted only to pursue wine, women and song.
Jeanne S. - Madam MeMe - 37 - Married to Don Wannabe for over 15 years. With their combined head for business the two have managed to amass a fortune. Tonight they open their newest venture the Four Deuces.
Mike S. - Capo 'Toto' Tequila - 48 - The self proclaimed Boss of Bosses will be visiting us from New York. Speculation is running rampant on why he is coming here tonight. When it involves the Capo it just has to be something big.
Osam M. - Don 'Big Jim' Ravioli - 40 - Well-known father of the Chicago mob or "The Family". Often referred to as Diamond Jim because of his penchant for flashy diamond jewelry. He just recently divorced his wife of 20 years to marry the much younger Carrie Crooner an aspiring Opera Singer. They have only been married for a week.
Katie C. - Carrie Crooner-Ravioli - 19 - Carrie had been a singer in one of Big Jim's clubs when Big Jim fell in love with her. He divorced his wife to marry her. She is attending tonight to do a special performance. People speculate that she only married Big Jim so that she could use his connections to become famous.
Lori Beth W. - Vicky Ravioli - 48 - Ex-wife to Don Ravioli. While she is older then him, she was still surprised when he asked for a divorce to marry that floozy Carrie Crooner. The divorce came through on March 20th and Vicky was overheard saying, "I raised my husband from a boy to a man for another woman." She received a $50,000 settlement from the divorce. It is rumored that her grief didn't last very long and that she has a new lover.
Jessica W. - Rebecca Ravioli - 20 - Daughter to Big Jim and Vicky. She has been telling everyone that she is engaged to marry Rhett Bumbler. Her father absolutely refuses to allow the marriage.
Andy B. - Rhett Bumbler - 32 - A gambler who came into town about 6 months ago. No one knows much about him, except that he is not very good at cards or dice. His attempts to cheat are so laughable that most people tend to overlook it. People don't believe he is engaged to Rebecca. Big Jim would never tolerate this buffoon as a son-in-law.
Laura G. - Baroness Ravioli - 56 - Mother to Don Big Jim Ravioli. Of course she isn't a real Baroness, but being the Don's mother does tend to keep people from saying any different. The Baroness loves to wear tiaras and lord it over anyone she considers 'beneath' her. She has been acting very smug lately, even more than usual.
Megan S. - Donna Wannabe - 24 - Don Wannabes little sister. Donna has become quite popular with the movie picture actors. She has been somewhat secretly seeing Big Jim on and off for the last few years. Lately she has been seen making a play for Rhett Bumblers attention. Some speculate that she has always been jealous of the attention Big Jim lathered on his daughter and this is her way of getting back at her.
Joel S. - Tony Capone - 22 - Brought from New York by Don Wannabe to become his bouncer for the new club. While he is called a bouncer, everyone knows that he was really just a hit man for The Family.
Brian B. - U.S. Congressman Darrin Toosteal - 55 - Some say Darrins rise to fame could be directly attributed to his close friendship with Big Jim. It is also rumored that he could very possibly become the next President of the United States. Some privately wonder how he could hope to become the next president when it was well known that he has such a close affiliation with a man of Big Jims reputation.
Dave T. - Inspector Neville 'The Nose' Nutella - The Inspector will be attending the function to investigate the murder of the Black Hand Gang 2 nights ago.
Dan F. - Sly Sleaze - 32 - Sly runs the horse-betting ring for Big Jim. He made an agreement with the new Telegraph Company to be the only person able to receive the live horse race results immediately in the Chicago area. He then sells these results to local bookies for 1/2 of their take. In exchange for all his work the Don gave him 5% of the earnings. Some say he isn't happy with this percentage and feels that he deserves a full partnership in the venture. He and Rebecca Ravioli have been good friends for years.
Jill K. - Vanessa Crooner - 42 - Mother to Carrie, Big Jim's new wife. She chaperoned Carrie & Big Jim everywhere they went before the marriage. She does not approve of Big Jim. Carrie was innocent and could not see how evil this man is, but mommy knows. After they were married she moved into the new house with them. She is going to make sure that Big Jim treats her baby right.
Rebecca G. - Mary Toosteal - 37 - Wife to U.S. Congressman Darrin Toosteal. Mary is the perfect political wife. Elegant, dignified and turns a blind eye to her husbands escapades. She comes from old money and powerful connections.
Gavin F. - Mayor 'Big Bill' Bumpkin - 42 - Big Bill is the Mayor of Chicago. He is known to be friendly and honest which is why people don't believe the rumor that city funds have been vanishing. He and Big Jim have been good friends for many years.
Alice F. – Ginger Roberts - 25 – Writes a society and gossip column for the Tribune. Ginger has made Chicago's finest look even finer for years. She was invited here by the Baroness.
Peter K. - Jack 'Greasy Thumbs' Guiseppi - 26 - Big Jim Raviolis accountant. There is speculation that he disagrees with Don Wannabe's involvement in Big Jim's finances.
Bridget B. - Guilda Guiseppi - 24 - Wife to Jack Guiseppi.
John J. - Cash Steal - 27 - Nothing is known about this man. Why he is here or where he comes from.
Laura P. - Cassandra Steal - 22 - Wife to Cash Steal.
Sarah G. – Claire Heart – 35 – Wife to Rob Heart, a locally famous jazz club owner and childhood friend of Don Wannabe. Claire is rumored to actually be Claire Voyant the best fortuneteller this side of the Mississippi.
Alyson I. – Velma Blake – 21 – Famous jazz singer from New York. She began her career in Chicago at Rob Heart's club before seeking fame and fortune in the Big Apple.
Alison T. – Harriet Hambini – 29 – Recently hired cigar/cigarette girl at the Four Deuces. Not much is known about her background.
Sarah T. – Lady Nightingale – 18 – Works for Madam Meme at the Four Deuces. She is one of the most powerful and well-known "entertainers" in Chicago. Everyone knows that she is really a Lady of the Evening, but no one knows exactly who her clients are.

For nearly a year I have been the primary author and chief editor of an information sharing alias at Microsoft called 'Tip of the Day'. While I have allowed some public facing blogs to consume my tips, I haven't taken the extra step to create a dedicated blog...until now.
The idea behind TotD harkens back to something I started when I was first hired at Microsoft. I told myself, "I want to try to learn something new everyday. If I can learn at least one thing today, then I can call the day a success."
TotD was born of that idea. The goal is to provide small bits of knowledge that could be consumed quickly, so you can get back to work.
So let this be my 'test post' and I'll start posting actual tips shortly.

CHISINAU, Moldova — Opposition parties in Moldova won the right Thursday to review voter lists in the contested parliamentary elections that set off huge anti-Communist protests here. They said they would comb the lists for possible fraud, including dead or nonexistent people who might have been used by the Communists to pad their victory.
Meanwhile, election officials released updated results that gave the Communist Party 60 seats in Parliament, one fewer than the majority that would allow it to choose Moldova's next president unilaterally. Preliminary results released on Sunday showed the Communists winning 61 seats, prompting outrage and accusations of vote-rigging from their opponents.
The streets of Chisinau, the capital, were quiet on Thursday, after the announcement of election results set off days of anti-Communist protests. After a huge gathering on Tuesday turned violent, the authorities acted swiftly to stifle another gathering planned for Friday. The Twitter stream that mobilized activists early this week was flooded with warnings of bloodshed, and Prime Minister Zinaida Greceanii went on television to appeal to parents to keep their children from taking part.
"The organizers of the worst crime in the history of the Republic of Moldova are again preparing to use our children to stage riots in the government's office on Friday and Sunday," she said. "If we let it happen, human casualties may be unavoidable. Police are using all necessary means, including weapons, to protect the constitutional regime."
Domestically, at least, disapproval of Tuesday's violence has overshadowed the show of anti-Communist sentiment, said Oazu Nantoi, program director at the Institute for Public Policy in Chisinau.Continue reading the main story
"Of course, the opposition has been discredited," said Mr. Nantoi, a government critic, who believes the police deliberately provoked the crowd. "All that energy went nowhere."
The rallies were planned hours after the government announced preliminary results in the parliamentary elections on Sunday. The Communists' win was expected, but the margin was surprising — and a bitter disappointment for young Moldovans eager to integrate more closely with Europe.
Opposition politicians charged that the Communists had denied challengers access to news outlets, falsified ballots and fabricated votes.
"Dead people voted," said Vladimir Filat, leader of Moldova's Liberal Democratic Party. "People who have not lived in the country for a long time voted. People voted more than once."
Since the protests, Moldovan and foreign officials have referred repeatedly to an approving report by election monitors for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The preliminary report noted shortcomings like voter intimidation, uneven access to the news media and unreliable voting lists. But the assessment was generally positive, describing Moldova as an "overall pluralistic environment, offering voters a distinct political alternative and meeting many of the O.S.C.E. and Council of Europe commitments."
Russia has steadfastly supported Moldova's government this week, and Russia's foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, told Voice of Russia radio on Thursday that he did not understand why European governments had not done the same.
"No one has questioned the election results," he said, citing the O.S.C.E. report.
One O.S.C.E. election observer, Baroness Emma Nicholson, a member of the British Parliament, said Thursday that she thought the report was "much too optimistic." She said that at her observation post, near the border of the separatist region of Transnistria, authorities were clearly trying to suppress voter turnout, but that what she saw was not reflected in the organization's statement.
"All in all, I do believe the O.S.C.E. report gave a mistaken impression — which perhaps the O.S.C.E. itself believes, but I certainly do not — that everything in the garden was lovely," she said.Continue reading the main story

There are numerous 'Denby' marks. In general, the words 'Bourne' (up to circa 1960) and/or 'Denby' appear prominently. Early marks were impressed, or later stencilled onto the base of the ware, in keeping with the hand-thrown or turned nature of most of the Denby wares.
There are numerous special marks, including the painted or printed signature of both Albert and Glyn Colledge that appear on tableware and the ornamental wares.
1809 - 1830s
There are few identifiable marks from this period. This one, referring to the potteries at both Denby and Belper presumably pre-dates 1834.
Marks are impressed, often deeply so, on the back or base of the wares and include some of the words 'Bournes Potteries', 'J. Bourne & Son' (from circa 1850), 'Denby', 'Derbyshire' and 'England'.
Marks are impressed (most) or stencilled in black. The words 'Bourne', 'Denby' and 'England' appear in most marks and may be enclosed in a circle, ellipse or triangle.
Inclusion of 'Ltd' in the name implies a date post-incorporation of the business in 1916.
The script 'Danesby Ware' mark appears on ornamental ware from circa 1930 to 1941.
The name 'Denby' is prominent in marks from this period and may be accompanied by a large or small lower-case 'd'.
This stencilled mark found on domestic ware was in use from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s.
Marks from the 'Coloroll period' 1996-1999 may also be found.
A 'scroll' mark with various central lettering was a common mark on tableware from this period.
The stencilled signature of Albert Colledge appears on the 'Greenwheat' tableware from this period. The name is spelt 'College' without the 'd'.
The painted signature of Glyn Colledge may appears on 'Glyn Ware' and 'Glynbourne Ware' from this period

Sony has announced that its handheld gaming console, the PS Vita has reached 2.2 million units sold globally as on June 30 2012. In May 2012, this figure rested at 1.8 million. These figures may not be terribly bad, but they aren't the best either.
According to German PlayStation boss Uwe Bassendowski, the reason for the struggle in PS VIta sales is due to the lack of marketing towards the younger audience.
In India, which is a price sensitive market, it is the price of the gadget that will determine its sales. The PS Vita is priced at a whopping Rs. 19,990, which is pretty expensive for a hand held device. for the same price it is possible for you to get a full-fledged PS3 or an Xbox 360 console.
The games library of the home consoles too is larger than that of the handheld. But this might just change. At Gamescom 2012, Sony showed some serious love for the Vita and showed off a bunch of games such as Assassin's Creed Liberation, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, Killzone Mercenary and more. You can check out our complete Gamescom coverage here.
If you are one who is considering picking up the PS Vita the first thought that comes to mind is whether the device is enough bang for your buck. You can read our analysis of this here, and for still further details, refer to our detailed review.
Nintendo is one company that has dominated the handheld gaming market for a very long time. Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn't officially launch its products in India though gamers can still get their hands on them through a variety of retailers. Recently, the company launched the Nintendo 3DS XL in the US, a successor to their Nintendo 3DS.

Several Members of the Twin Lakes Improvement Association participated in the woods tour sponsored by Inland Empire Paper Company . Starting from the boat launch in Spirit Lake, we traveled along the lake and up the main Brickel Creek road. The first stop, we looked at some newly installed research plantations. These plantations are looking at the genetic plasticity of native trees and the effect that climate change has on the growth and survival of trees from different seed zones.
The second stop was in Litter Creek, which is a tributary in the upper reaches of Brickel Creek. There, we viewed and discussed "Variable Retention Harvesting" techniques which maintain and enhance a diverse forest structure. Also, we were able to view root rot patches, where most of the Douglas fir and grand fir have died from the disease.
After a lunch and restroom break at the Selkirk Lodge on Mount Spokane State Park, we made our way to a 12-year-old plantation in the headwaters of Fish Creek. The mature forest prior to harvesting was not diverse in terms of species and structural diversity, but subsequent planting and natural seeing has produced a very diverse forest with many different species represent.
The final stop was at the Fish creek bridge, where IEP has installed a water quality monitoring station. While there, we discussed water quality monitoring plans, issues and parameters. We even measured water clarity and the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) content of Fish Creek — the water was cold and clear, with high levels of DO (which is good). On the way back to the Spirit Lake boat laugh, we passed by the stream rehabilitation project on lower Fish Creek. IEP is one of the cooperators with this project, along with TLIA, the Easterday Ranch and the Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game.
Based on the engaging conversations, smiles, and the expressed appreciation from the tourists, the tour was a success. IEP is proud of their timberland and forestry and is happy to share their story with its neighbors along the lake.

It's Memorial Day here in the U.S. and your friends in podcasting discuss their thoughts and feelings about the meaning of the day and remember not only fallen heroes, but those who are still in battle, and forgotten, and living on the streets.
From there, it's onto a terrific "Live Event of the Week" and the absolute box office apocalypse befalling the movie industry this summer.
Then, what else would Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness discuss but … Religion? It all ties into the "Lawsuit of the Week".

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #123
Vince Gilligan spent Sunday night at the Emmy Awards, where his Breaking Bad leading man, Bryan Cranston, won the award for Best Actor in a Drama Series (for the second year in a row!). Today, Vince Gilligan, creator of the series (as well as a hugely admired writer-producer of films like Hancock and television series like The X-Files), is back with Dean and Phil for part two of their conversation. Also, Phil shares with Dean an idea for a film-making symposium he would like to bring to fan conventions. Is this too much for one show? Nah. In fact, it's as simple as (Chillpak Hollywood Hour) 1-2-3 …
Chillpak Hollywood Hour #122
Dean and Phil begin this week's show by wrapping up DragonCon, sharing some of their more bizarre, amusing and inspiring experiences. They then welcome a very special guest for the first part of a two-part interview. Vince Gilligan was one of the most prolific and respected writers and producers on The X-Files (as well as its spin-off series, The Lone Gunmen). He wrote the motion pictures Wilder Napalm, Home Fries and Hancock. Now, he's earning great accolades for his work on the AMC original series Breaking Bad, which he created.
That's a hell of a lot of show for one hour, but what do you expect? This IS your Chillpak Hollywood Hour, after all!

Using Technology to Keep in Touch While Away at School
When students are away at school, it's important to keep in touch with friends and family back home. Although it can be difficult to call everyone on your contact list, using technology can make it easier to reach everyone. Schools offering Information Technology degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Making Communicating Easier
Whether you're away at college or a boarding school, your parents are going to want to hear from you on a regular basis to make sure you're doing well. Then, of course, there will be the list of friends who expect constant updates about what your new life is like.
Factors like lack of time or even being in a different time zone can make it difficult to reach people. By taking advantage of the technology you already like to use, you can either touch base with someone quickly in-between classes or have longer conversations when you have more time to spare. Here are some ways to keep the lines of communication open.
If you have a cell phone, there's probably a good chance that you can text. This could be the ideal way to stay connected to your friends. If you get to classes with a few minutes to spare, you can pull out your phone to send a quick text to just say hi or wish a friend a happy birthday. You might even be able to get your parents used to texting so during a busy week you could at least send them a test message to let them know you're okay.
If you have more to say than will fit in a text message, there's always e-mail, whether you're using your school account, personal account or an e-mail system offered through a social networking site. This is another form of communication that usually isn't too time-consuming. You can log in and send out e-mails, and the recipients can read the messages when they have free time.
Instant Messaging
While you're on the computer, you can log into your preferred form of instant messaging to make yourself available to chat with others. Particularly if you're fooling around just playing computer games, this could be a good time to catch up with some friends or family. However, if you're on the computer because you have to finish a homework assignment, study for a test or do research for a paper, you might want to skip signing on so you don't have too many distractions.
Video Chat
Your parents might become big fans of talking to you through video chat, mainly because it gives them a chance to actually see you and have visual proof that you're in one piece. You just need to find a place where you'll have some privacy and a computer with a webcam. It will take longer to converse through video chat than if you're sending a text or IM, but it's a great way to have meaningful conversations with others.
Hands Free Cell Phone Devices
If you like multi-tasking, a hands free cell phone device could make it easier for you to fit in phone calls. Using something like a Bluetooth headset could help you talk on the phone while you're driving to class, making dinner or folding your laundry, enabling you to fit in more phone conversations throughout your busy week.
You might be able to now find some of the Internet-speak you're using in your communications in the Oxford Dictionaries Online.
To continue researching, browse degree options below for course curriculum, prerequisites and financial aid information. Or, learn more about the subject by reading the related articles below:

And in the winter there is usually Goosander and other lake / sea birds that I otherwise dont see very often. I was down there yesterday and looked for birds, but did not have my camera with me and then I saw a bird I had never seen before. It was really nice with long feathers and colors.
The bird is called Pintail and it was that bird I was after today, so I took the bus there in the morning and hoped that it would be there, and lucky me, it was there. I spent a few hours there to shoot it and other birds, there were also some weird hybrid ducks that looked pretty nice too.
By the way, the lens that I dropped in the snow in the last blog post is okej luckily. :))
Camera equipment: D90 and the nikon 200-400 f4 lens.

Rovers to release six
Tranmere have released six players at the end of the season, but have offered new contracts to six.
Last Updated: 11/05/10 2:20pm
Tranmere Rovers have opted to release six players at the end of the season, but have offered new contracts to the same number.
Striker Bas Savage is among those to leave Prenton Park after scoring nine goals in 62 appearances since his move from Millwall two years ago, while midfielder Chris Shuker departs after almost four years at the club.
Fellow midfielder Gareth Edds has also not been offered a new deal, so his two-year stay with the club comes to an end as boss Les Parry shapes his squad for next season.
Charlie Barnett, Josh Macauley and Kithson Bain will also leave the League One club.
However, Parry has offered new contracts to Craig Curran, John Welsh, Zoumana Bakayogo, Ryan Fraughan and Marlon Broomes, while Jack Mackreth has been offered his first professional deal.
Parry told the club's official website: "I'd like to thank the six players for their time at Prenton Park and wish them all the best for the future.
"We've targeted the areas we feel we need to improve and we will be working hard over the summer to bring the players we want to the club."
