Pot Pie Eyed

After a short day at work (well, 7.75 hours, not all that short) I came home with one task in mind: utilize leftovers. It was my mission and I chose to accept it.

Let the games begin!

Jen made some salads with pomegranate and feta cheese.

I worked on the turkey pot pie which I assembled with garlic (farm), onions, carrots (farm), turnips (farm), sage, cayenne, turkey gravy, turkey stock, potato (farm), and green beans (forgotten from Thanksgiving day). The finishing touch was my patented biscuit crust. Some people make actual pie crust for their pot pie. I refer to that type of pot pie as Inferior Pot Pie. Mine may not be traditional but it is far better.

The rainy and snowy evening was capped off wonderfully with hot pot pie for dinner. Jen's game-time decision to go out for dinner last night and eat at home tonight turned out to be a stroke of brilliance.

While we did have a lot of laundry to fold, the night still turned out well with The Return of the King playing on TNT, hot tea, the pitter-patter of rain on our grungy windowsill, and some pumpkin pie for dessert.

It looks like that is the end of our Thanksgiving leftovers. Next week we will start fresh, finishing up the small remainder of last Saturday's winter share pickup.

Soup and an Impromptu "Adventure"

This morning started a bit late with us sleeping in, again, to the late hour of 9:00AM. After that we woke up to a morning of watching that new Beyoncé video where she implores women to make their men put a ring on it while showing off her unexplained cyborg hand.

For lunch I made a very fast turkey soup out of the leftover turkey, the turkey stock, some of the roasted vegetables, the glazed turnips, the remainder of the arugula (which had frozen for some reason), and some of the fusilli from a few days ago. With no bread available I toasted up some of the naan we had in the freezer. It was a light lunch, probably too light to sustain us through our impromptu afternoon jaunt.

We ended up unexpectedly at The Met where I mimicked the catlike statues in the Egyptian exhibit. Jen makes a weak argument that my attempt to simulate whiskers with my fingers does not come across. I think it's obvious by this photograph that I am a master of animal disguise.

Jen, however, can barely pull of this sphinx imitation. Pathetic.

We accidentally wound up getting tricked into going in the American exhibits. Instead of looking at things that were 4000 years old, we were now looking at some parlors from the 1850s. Somehow not quite as impressive.

Eventually we came full circle and ended up seeing a different portion of the Egyptian exhibit. It was then that I was able to fulfill my childhood dream of posing with a fat sarcophagus.

We left the house to try to go to a new restaurant that just opened on 181st street but Jen was so overwhelmed by the cold (it was only 45 degrees) that we turned around and headed to the marginally closer Coogan's.

When we arrived at Coogan's it had already been heavily decorated for the holidays, inside and out. It was nice to take a night off from turkey and let Coogan's do the cooking for us. I had the monthly special: fish tacos. Jen had a cheeseburger. We both ate way too much because we were starving from not eating anything all day (since lunch, anyway). Then we waddled home where we settled down with some tea and the New Jersey Devils game.

What will happen tomorrow? Will we be return to our turkey roots? Or will we decide to make the remaining turnip from the farm share? Only time will tell. There can be only one . . . dinner.

Hot Turkey Sandwiches: The Greatest Gift of All

Today was a big day. We woke up at the crack of 9:00AM to tackle a day of no shopping whatsoever. After a busy morning of drinking tea and coffee and doing little else it was time to have lunch!

Using our leftovers from yesterday's meal Jen made a salad with roasted vegetables and I made these annoyingly trendy turkey sliders with some arugula, stuffing, gravy, and a little mayonnaise on the rolls from last night.

It was a pretty big day. We watched the Bruins destroy the Islanders. We went for a walk up to 181st Street. We took a nap. Woke up to watch A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All. We lounged a bit. Then it was time for dinner. Dinner, of course, was hot turkey sandwiches with some oven roasted fries.

We had some leftover chestnuts so I made a roasted chestnut ice cream. It came out pretty good and was an excellent accompaniment to some leftover pumpkin pie.

Now we're settling down to what may be the best four hours of television possible on the day after Thanksgiving: Elf, followed by the Monk Christmas special, followed by the Psych Christmas special. A little mulled cider with Maker's Mark will accompany this fine programming quite nicely.

Life doesn't get much better than this.

Thanksgiving à la Americain

Happy Thanksgiving, Pilgrim People!

Today I spent most of the day at work but returned home to a Thanksgiving meal fit for a king! Well, fit for a king that was only 85% ready to be served his dinner. So for the 15% of the meal that needed to be completed, I drank a beer and watched part of the never-ending House marathon on what I can only assume is the House channel. Jen claims that the House marathon is not always on but the evidence of her watching it every day when I return from work would lead me to believe otherwise.

We started off with some of the Vinsobre wine we got in France. We were waiting for a special occasion to pop it open and today seemed like as good a day as any.

Jen made roasted vegetables, glazed turnips, creamed onions, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, roasted turkey, gravy, and rolls. The turnips, some of the roasted vegetables, and the potatoes were all from this month's winter farm share. My contribution to the meal: I scored the brussel sprouts that we forgot to put in the oven.

For dessert Jen made pumpkin pie, one of my favorite things ever. This was probably her best pie to date. While she employed an oddly Canadian themed design for this pie it was still a great addition to this distinctly American holiday. Personally I would have preferred my pie concept: A rectangular pie which mimicked the American flag with 50 little pumpkins instead of stars. If I'm in charge next year I'm definitely doing that.

As a special dessert bonus we also had pinwheels, which Jen made out of the leftover pie crust with some brown sugar.

And now, as a Thanksgiving winds down, we are going to watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which I have rented from through my crummy TiVo that I hate.

Can't wait to see the movie! I heard it's terrible and it has aliens!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Catching Up and Preparing to Give Thanks!

Oooooh, so it's been a long time since I updated. Nate leaves me in charge of the blog while he slaves away to provide yuppies and hippies with Thanksgiving, and I fail to update. Bad, bad, Jen.

Anyhow, with the dulcet tones of various quasi-bizarre holiday medleys courtesy of the Macy's parade and before I start the cooking orgy for today's minifeast, here's some catch up.

On Sunday, we had the rest of Nate's delicious soup with a salad made from leftovers. (Delish and frugal!) We then finished up the fruitcake, stirring innumerable eggs and various drygoods into the mixed fruits and stirring it up, thus making it a true stirrup Sunday.

Also on Sunday, I got to check out Joe and Ryan's amazing new apartment. It has a fireplace: I mean, what else? Joe set out a delicious cheese plate and we had some wine before the fireplace, and a little part of me died a little of jealousy and happiness all mixed.

Then I came home and doused the now-cooked cakes with brandy and wrapped them up. They're sitting all happily in the fridge as I type.

The rest of the week has been extra-boring and marked by late nights -- for Nate, especially, since it's the maddest season at his esteemed employer. On Monday, I managed to beat Nate home by an hour or so, so I made something simple yet comforting to those who have been in the Thanksgiving trenches: macaroni and cheese.

On Tuesday, I only beat Nate home by a minute or so, so it was another pasta standby: ravioli. (Which Nate laid out in an interesting way to offset how boring a dinner it was.)

And then on Wednesday, wanting to save my culinary energies for today, I made yet another pasta: tomato sauce, shallots, frozen spinach , leftover rotelli and scallops. I know. It was totally weird. What can I say? I was hungry and the fridge is full of turkey but not much else.

Which brings us to today. Right now, the dough for the rolls is rising, and I'm about to start on the pie crust. (O pie crust, my Everest!) Later on I'll get the vegetables and turkey in order and hopefully even get out for a quick pre-turkey run. (My own personal turkey trot, if you will. The Christmas 4-miler is in three weeks!)

In the meantime, happy Thanksgiving to all! Updates on dinner to come.

Sometimes in Winter . . . FARMING!

This one's for the fans, the hardcore Veg Heads who know how to keep it local and seasonal, ALL YEAR ROUND!

Now let's get cookin'!

We started off by picking up our farm share at Fort Tryon Park and then heading off to Cabrini Wines to stock our wine cellar rack. There were a bunch of cool wines this week. There was even one that looked like a boarding pass but, alas, it was too expensive for our tastes.

For lunch I made a soup out of the leftover butternut squash with a little garlic, onion and chestnut that I cooked with vegetable stock and pureed. We had the soup with some grilled cheese sandwiches and a light salad with baby greens and tomatoes.

After lunch we opened the box to find the following: Kale, mixed potatoes, tatsoi, purple choy, onions, garlic, turnips, carrots, arugula, pumpkin, apples, pears, and cider.

After our lunch Jen wasted her time by going for a run in the twenty degree cold. I, on the other hand, used my methods to help one of my clients reclaim a priceless bejeweled falcon statue which had been stolen by emissaries of the German government.

Jen got started a batch of fruit cake. Here she is holding a bowl of unearthly ingredients (such as Maraschino cherries) soaked in brandy to let them soak overnight before making and baking the batter for the cake.

We foolishly forgot to purchase brandy so Jen used the Metaxa we had in the liquor cabinet in place. The Metaxa's a little rough but hopefully the almonds won't mind soaking it up just the same.

I cut up the pears and soaked them in a little port and balsamic vinegar. We had them over some of the arugula with some goat cheese, walnuts, and olive oil. The pears were extremely under ripe so I probably should have poached them in a port syrup but they were passable.

For dinner I marinated some salmon in squeezed clementine juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then I garnished with some clementine segments and served with a baked potato and some wilted tatsoi.

We tried to save as much of the share as possible for American Thanksgiving next week. This will be my last dinner at home until Thanksgiving so it was good to get the most out of today's pickup.

Jen is going to have the helm for the rest of the week. What kind of wacky vegetable hijinks will she be up to? Only time will tell.

Set your sails for vegetable adventure!

Sole Man

Today I spent the afternoon on Long Island. The traffic on the way home worked up a man-sized hunger that I could only satiate with Hungry Man delicious steamed white fish. (That is what we, in the business, call foreshadowing).

The salad was simply the remainder of our mixed greens with some roasted chestnuts, some feta cheese and some tomato. I only put tomato on Jen's salad as I have become tomato-leery in recent off seasons. I just can't trust a tomato in the colder months. But I'm a jerk. Mothers, don't let your babies grow up to be like me.

For dinner the highlight was truly the boiled potatoes. I don't know how they achieve such a tasty potato at the farm but somehow they taste more like a potato than any potato I've ever had. I just drizzled a little olive oil and melted butter and cracked some pepper over the top. I didn't even salt them they were so flavorful.

To accompany the potato I made some sole filets and steamed edamame that I sprinkled with cayenne.

So, that's it. The potato was the last of the farm share. However, we have our fresh new winter share popping up this Saturday. Stay tuned this weekend when we may have an incredible adventure with some root vegetables. The adventure may include finding interesting ways to cook them.

Alternately it may involve us dressing them up in tiny homemade clothing and giving them names. "Meet my friend, Mr. Parsnip and his colleague, Dr. Rutabaga. Today they're going to solve a murder!"

Back to Boring Town

Well, as we have little left other than a few heads of garlic (I'm going to miss getting an unending supply of "free" garlic from the share) I'm afraid our usage of these wonderful vegetables is drawing to a close for the season. I suppose that's not entirely true. This Saturday we get our first ever winter share allotment which will be coming to us now on a monthly basis.

That means you may see more root vegetables in the coming months than you care to see. That being said we may have to eat more than we care to eat. That's saying quite a bit because I looooooove me some root vegetables.

Without a steady influx of vegetables this week I resorted to keeping things quasi-seasonal in the interim. Tonight I did an alternate take on last night's salad, segmenting the clementines and tossing the segments in hot sauce and salt. I combined with some feta, greens, and pistachios.

For the wine we had Cycles Gladiator. This was picked using my patented cool label/name/low price method. The wine features a naked redhead and a bicycle. How cool is that? The fact that it is called Gladiator is baffling but compelling. The back of the label might as well have a crudely drawn pile of cow excrement in place of text. The label begins like this: "The invention of the bicycle ushered in a new spirit of freedom during the late 19th century." It then goes on some more about bicycles and French printer G. Massias's mythological artwork which graces the label. Not once does it mention anything about wine, the flavor of said wine, or the relevance of naked redheads!

The main course was rather boring but still welcome as a late dinner (10:00PM) at least by our standards. It was a simple, pan-roasted chicken breast with sauteed spinach, edamame, and baked potato served with a slice of cornbread.

Overall: pretty boring.

That Old Chestnut

Yesterday Jen made "Chicken Madness" which I came home to around midnight. At first I thought she may have been having some sort of psychotic episode when she declared, "I made chicken madness!" However, it was of little or no consequence when I tasted how delicious it was.

This is what the Chicken Madness looked like. Delectable.

I started off tonight with some sliced Clementines with hot sauce and salt, a recipe passed down from my Guatemalan grandmother. It's a traditional snack in Guatemala (where she is from, you see). I served them with some (read: all the rest of our) greens. Goat cheese and pistachios were some items in the fridge that lent themselves to this salad pretty well.

For the main course I cooked up a little garlic, shallot, butternut squash, and shiitake mushrooms with a little sage (no thyme because we didn't have any) and a small amount of shredded Parmesan. I was also going to fold in a little ricotta at the end but the container in the fridge was molded over. I used a little chestnut puree along with chopped chestnuts.

I also learned an interesting fact today: chestnuts contain no fat! So this entire meal was basically a lowfat meal, getting its only fat from a tiny amount of olive oil and Parmesan cheese. I hadn't intended this to be a quasi-healthy meal but it really turned out to be. Even using skim milk it was a very heavy and creamy sauce.

The whole result was yet another seasonal meal of which my Guatemalan grandmother would be very proud. "Natito," she would say. "I love you too much."

Chicken, and Life, Madness

Oh, today. I had such high hopes for you -- I got our the door on time this morning, I remembered my gym bag, I did not spill coffee on my dressing gown and I remembered my lunch (not in that order, of course). It seemed so promising: get to work, do some interviews, write an issue piece, catch up from being from gone last week, arrange a fashion shoot and call in all the product, plan the party/gossip column for the week, pop out the door at 6 and hit the gym, then come home and make a nutritious and delectable meal.

Clearly I was misguided. I did some interviews, and I did some catch up. I did NOT write an issue piece, so it came home with me. I caught up a little from being gone last week, I called in some product, I did a tiny amount of column planning. I left at twenty past seven and skipped the gym, needless to say. But the night was not past redemption. Thanks to a trip to the grocery store and some last-minute inspiration, I did manage to make a meal that was delish, and while not incredibly healthful was better than a kick with a frozen moccasin.

Anyone who spent any appreciable amount of time on the Georgetown campus has probably had the Chicken Madness sandwich from Wisey's, the deli just off campus. The Chicken Madness, assembled on the huge flat grill and served with chips and choice of soda, has haunted my gastronomic dreams since I graduated. And tonight -- a night where there was leftover chicken breast in the fridge and redemption being sought -- was a perfect choice to try and recreate it.

Thanks to Chowhound and my ever-more-hazy memory, I compiled a mental picture of the Madness: Grilled chicken, bacon and red, green and jalaepeno peppers all heated on the grill with garlic powder and cayenne, served on a sub role with mayo, tomato and lettuce with a slice of provolone on top. Mmmmmm. To make the Jen version, I chopped the roast chicken from the other night and sauteed it with red and green pepper strips (I thought we might have share jalapenos left in the fridge, but no such luck) and two slices of turkey bacon. After being seasoned with cayenne and garlic powder, the mixture was covered with a slice of provolone and served on a piece of leftover paesano bread with mayo, assorted cherry tomatoes and salad mix.

And it was a pretty passable, and yum, imintation, if I do say so myself. The turkey bacon acquitted itself nicely, and the jalapeno wasn't conspicuous by its absence. Salad mix, however, is a terrible choice for a warm sandwich, and the cherry tomatoes were only so so. But it was comforting and yummy, and a glass of TetraPak organic wine is even better than a can of Diet Pepsi. Take that, today.

An Intrepid Dinner

Today, as promised, we attended one of our nation's treasures: The Intrepid Air, Sea & Space Museum!

It begun with a 45 minute wait in line. When we approached the front of the line we found a door that was being held open by what must've been one of the relics from the museum: an old-fashioned wooden door stop! Evidently there was not a great deal of time put into door stops during the two years the museum had been closed for renovations.

We killed some time before meeting up with some friends by checking out the Concorde they have on display. Sadly they didn't allow for sitting in the cockpit, you could just squeeze your way down the narrow aisle and imagine what it would have been like to be a skinny business man in the 80s.

After meeting up with our friends we appreciated the Sunk/Probably Sunk record of the Intrepid. If I were the captain of the Intrepid (could happen) I'd have beefed up the Probably Sunk a little more. This is a situation that just lends itself perfectly to padding the numbers.

One of the best things about World War II was that you could just make posters where you made extraordinarily offensive caricatures of as many races as possible and it was okay. Best of all, most people would not even notice! Hooray for the 1940s!

Here's our friend Eli on the bridge of the Intrepid with his first mate, Jen. Don't worry, his parents were there too. We didn't steal this baby or anything.

When we returned home we continued our usage of the pomegranate and pistachios by making this salad with a little goat cheese added into the mix.

For the main course we roasted a chicken breast with onion, garlic, carrots, rutabaga, potato, butternut squash, and broccoli. Most of it was from the farm.

It is very rare but I had a little port after dinner as we were still pretty cold from our freezing day outside on the aircraft carrier. The plus side to port is that it's delicious. The negative is that it's hard not to feel like a pretentious prat when you're drinking it. I'm even a little ashamed admitting I had some after dinner.

However, I'm not ashamed at all to mention that we've already watched two episodes of Psych and it's not even 9:00PM yet!

Maybe my shame is misplaced.

Chestnuts & Raviolis

Welcome to our crazy world of vegetable antics!

Tonight, after spending thirty minutes unsuccessfully looking for a parking spot I finally entered our home to prepare a quick dinner. For a moment we toyed with the idea of going out but we do have a pretty good amount of food in the fridge so sensibility had a rare win in tonight's meal planning.

For the salad I chopped up some roasted chestnuts and squeezed some pomegranate over some mixed greens (new, non-slug infested ones) with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.

The main course was cheese and spinach raviolis with wilted tatsoi and garlic with Parmesan, salt, and pepper.

We also had a little more bread with olive oil and for dessert we had some vanilla ice cream with more melted ganache.

The real highlight of the evening? Several fresh episodes of Psych.

Tomorrow we wake up early to do something fun. What? Well, you're just going to have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

Hint: it involves our nation's military. But in a fun way!

Andrena nanula Nylander,1848

Description and notes

The inclusion of this bee on the British list rests on a female in the F. Smith Collection in the University Museum, Oxford. The only documentation carried on the pin is “16.8.”. According to R.C.L. Perkins (1914) the specimen was probably sent to Smith by J.B. Bridgman of Norwich as the pin, mode of setting and label is similar to that of other Andrena known to have been sent by him to Smith in the period 1875-77. The numerals “16.8” presumably indicates the date. This specimen is not mapped.

This is a very rare, local and little known bee though widely distributed throughout much of Eurasia, from Sweden to France and Italy, east to the far east of the Russian Federation (Dylewska, 1987; Gusenleitner & Schwarz, 2002; Ascher & Pickering, 2012).

More pictures and notes can be found on Steven Falk's Flickr site.

Status (in Britain only)

Shirt (1987) and Falk (1991) both list this species as Extinct (Appendix) in Britain (assuming it was ever established).

Little information is available. In Sweden a typical habitat has been described as being a small meadow or forest edge sheltered from wind and cooling by surrounding trees and bushes (L.A. Nilsson, pers. comm.).

Flight period

Univoltine; July and August.

Pollen collected

The species is apparently oligolectic on Apiaceae. Wild carrot is the only known pollen source (Westrich, 1989).

Nesting biology

In Sweden nests occur either singly or in small, loose aggregations in exposed light soil (L.A. Nilsson, pers. comm.).

Flowers visited

Burnet-saxifrage, wild angelica, wild carrot.

No data available.

CAAF will hear oral argument in the Air Force case of United States v. Condon, No.17-0392/AF (CAAFlog case page), at 9:30 a.m. today. The court granted review of one issue and specified a second:

Granted Issue: Upon request by the defense counsel and utilizing a defense proposed instruction, should the military judge have provided the members with an explanation of the term “incapable”?

Specified Issue: Whether the military judge erred in admitting Appellant’s invocation of his right to counsel in his AFOSI interview at trial over defense objection, and, if so, whether that error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.

The granted issue is identical to the issue in United States v. Bailey, 77 M.J. 11 (C.A.A.F. Nov. 29, 2017) (CAAFlog case page), in which a unanimous CAAF held that the term incapable in the element of incapable of consenting has such a plain meaning that no instruction is required to define the term for members.

The specified issue addresses the fact that:

Prior to trial, the defense moved to suppress the statements contained in Pros. Ex. 6 (PE-6), Appellant’s videotaped AFOSI interrogation, and the motion was denied. (JA 75-81, 624-685.) During this interrogation, Appellant invoked his right to remain silent and requested counsel. (JA 524.) Subsequent to his decision to remain silent and to request counsel, he continued speaking to the law enforcement agents present (JA 524.) Based on how the events progressed and the agents’ responses to his questions, Appellant chose to continue the interrogation. (JA 524.)

App. Br. at 4. The video of the interrogation was played to the members in its entirety, including the invocation of rights (over defense objection).

All of the briefs in Condon were filed before CAAF’s decision in Bailey, and so they do not directly address the impact of CAAF’s decision, but Condon’s brief suggests that the case is similar to Bailey and headed for the same fate:

The requested instruction may not have been the best example of what the instruction should look like, but the defense proposed it based on what another military judge was using. Moreover, once the defense and military judge recognized and acknowledged the unavoidable confusion and ambiguity involving ‘impairment’ and ‘consent’ in a military court post-mandatory sexual assault training, to the point where the military judge began addressing it during voir dire, the military judge and the parties should have engaged in a process of crafting a better instruction. Certainly, there were elements of the military judge’s initial instruction to the members that could have been incorporated or crafted into an
acceptable instruction.

The standard instruction given by the military judge is parsimonious when it comes to defining incapacity due to alcohol—especially in a climate that includes heavy influences of SAPR training. The instruction allows for the wide range of definitions per the individual member. The court below considered the definition of “impairment” as sufficient “consistent with the normal sense of the work in common usage. (JA. 1-46, Slip op. at 23.) But therein lies the problem . . .

App Br. at 11-12. Condon’s brief then argues that:

This Court should view “incapable of consenting due to impairment” as a term of art, which people of ordinary intelligence are not expected to decipher. . .

App. Br. at 15. CAAF’s opinion in Bailey, however, holds precisely the opposite:

“Incapable” is not a technical legal or scientific term. The plain meaning of “incapable” is one that is generally—and correctly—understood as being unable to do something.

United States v. Bailey, 77 M.J. 11, 15 (C.A.A.F. 2017) (internal citation omitted).

The specified issue, however, presents more-fertile ground for Condon. Condon’s brief asserts that there is no “plausible reason, offered or existing, for admission of evidence that Appellant exercised his rights to silence and counsel. There is no fact at issue that is possibly resolved by the members knowing Appellant exercised his rights.” App. Br. at 26. The Air Force Government Appellate Division’s response invokes waiver mania:

Appellant waived this issue by failing to object to the evidence of Appellant’s request for counsel before the video of the interview was admitted into evidence. . . .

In this case, trial defense counsel did not object to the evidence of Appellant’s request for counsel before or immediately after Prosecution Exhibit 6 was admitted into evidence. Although Appellant filed a motion to suppress Appellant’s statements made after the invocation of right to counsel, the motion made no mention of excluding the request for counsel itself. . . . By the time trial defense counsel asked for portions of the video to be omitted, the objection was no longer timely. The time to ask for such redactions would have been before it was admitted into evidence, not the next day, and mere minutes before the Government published the exhibit to the members by playing it in open court.

Gov’t Div. Br. at 25-26 (emphasis added). The idea that a timely motion to suppress followed by a more-particularized objection before the evidence is shown to the members is waiver is a pretty radical expansion of the term, and it goes far beyond the rule applicable in the federal courts. See, for example, Fed. R. Crim. P. 12. The Government Division’s brief cites to CAAF’s decision in United States v. Ahern, 76 M.J. 194 (C.A.A.F. Apr. 20, 2017) (CAAFlog case page), as supporting a finding of waiver in this case. But in Ahern the defense had no objection whatsoever to admission of the statement (the objection was to how the trial counsel argued it). The facts of Condon – where the defense moved to suppress the statement – are the opposite of Ahern.

But the Government Division doesn’t limit itself to the claim of waiver. It also argues that including the invocation of rights in the video shown to the members was not error because:

Mil. R. Evid. 301 should not be read as a per se ban on any mention of invocation of a suspect’s rights. Rather, there may be circumstances where such evidence is admissible, so long as it is not used as substantive evidence of an accused’s guilt. See United States v. Moran, 65 M.J. 178, 186 (C.A.A.F. 2007) (“A trial counsel’s statement implicating an accused’s assertion of his rights is not per se impermissible.”)

Gov’t Div. Br. at 31-32. And in this case, argues the Government Division:

the portions of the video involving the request for counsel were offered as “res gestae” that explained the entire sequence of events that occurred during the interview.

Gov’t Div. Br. at 34. This is an appealing argument, if only because if playing the video was harmless then Condon loses. See Art. 59(a). The Government Division’s brief also emphasizes that the military judge gave the members a limiting instruction prior to the playing of the video. Gov’t Div. Br. at 37-39. That gives the harmlessness argument a boost.

But a reply brief from Condon disputes the res gestae premise:

The statement here was not reasonably necessary to describe the events about which the witness had been examined; there was no testimony of the agent to be explained. . . . And, “it appears that any advantage to be obtained in this case in admitting such evidence was clearly outweighed by the confusion such testimony could cause in the minds of the members, and its significant potential for prejudice for the appellant.”

Reply Br. at 17 (quoting United States v. Ross, 7 M.J. 174, 76 (C.M.A. 1979)). The Mil. R. Evid. 403 factors justifying exclusion of relevant evidence are certainly a basis for a finding of prejudice in this case, and the Government Division’s res gestae (“things done”) argument for relevance is the weakest of probative values.

Accordingly, today’s oral argument will likely focus on what – if any – probative value existed in the video of Condon’s invocation of rights, whether that probative value was substantially outweighed by other considerations, and if it was harmless. Additionally, if CAAF gets that far, the parties will likely address whether the error is constitutional (requiring that it be harmless beyond a reasonable doubt to be excused) or non-constitutional (requiring mere harmlessness), because their briefs do not agree on the standard of review.

Old timey days

Due to beautiful weather, we decided to take the kids on a field trip to the Log Cabin village. (or maybe it was mommy who wanted to go). Either way, we all had a grand time.

After the last post you can only guess how many pictures it took to get this shot.

IMG_9748   IMG_9726

Lance and Ivy trying on the latest fashions and pumping water. There was also a mountain man band having a music jam but Lance wouldn’t dance.

Grinding cornmeal – a boy’s gotta eat!

IMG_9688   IMG_9731

Lance’s favorite activity was collecting eggs.               Ivy helped.

By the end, both kids had reverted back to the “good ‘ol days.”

Egress Window Installation Review from Jennifer

Jennifer from Milwaukee

"Ryan and his team (Tom and Casey) did a fantastic job on our egress window. The process from the start with Dana coming for our estimate was great as well. They worked hard and efficiently to get the job done. They were extremely professional, timely, and took great care in cleaning up when they were done. The window is wonderful and is exactly what we had in mind. Would absolutely hire them for work again and would definitely refer people to use them for work. Well done and thank you for the hard work!"

Karl Dmitri Bishop in Conversation

Karl Dmitri Bishop talks about his work, becoming a photographer and his exhibition at the Art Salon.

In the September exhibition of his photography at the Art Salon he explored the abstract dream space by veiling and obscuring the formal subject matter to form a highly constructed surreal moment. The elaborate veils that shroud each subject lend them their intangible quality of otherworldliness.

I never thought I'd say this...but I'm going Vegan!

One thing I love about getting older (and hopefully wiser) is learning new things about myself, accepting change and being open to evolving and letting go of beliefs that I once claimed as a definitive part of me.

I have never been one to yo-yo diet or follow any type of strict diet, although in the months leading up to my wedding I did follow the Paleo diet (heavy on meat consumption) with great success. I felt strong, lean and happy (albeit stressed at times!). While in school I remember choosing the 'Raw Vegan' diet for a research paper.  I had come across several Youtube channels hosted by raw vegans and I was struck by how clear and bright their eyes and skin were, as well as the overall vitality and passion they had. They looked SO happy.

I understood through my studies that those who are able to follow this diet in an ideal & healthy way (prioritizing fruits and veggies over heavier items like like nuts, sprouted grains and desserts) are assimilating more minerals and bioactive nutrients than most people. I knew that if you could actually follow this diet in a healthy way, you would feel incredible. I also knew that living in Canada, this would be difficult to do outside of the summer months, so I put it in the back of my mind as something I would like to try for 2 weeks in the summer. However, after carefully following a Paleo diet, all I wanted to do, post-wedding, was eat anything and everything!

This year my husband and I moved to the country, and suddenly I had the space to reflect on so many things.  I have been happily consuming meat all of my life. I definitely laughed at vegan jokes. However over the past couple of years I have had a quiet feeling of knowing that eating meat (and eating as much as I, and most people, ate) is problematic on so many levels. Our good friend Nathan Isberg had a magical restaurant called The Atlantic where he created ethical food with an emphasis on small animal protein that was low on the food chain (ex. quail, crickets). It was truly inspiring and revolutionary -  and desperately needed these days, in our obscene culture of rockstar bro-chefs competing with each other to make the most gluttonous, meat-heavy "fuck you" plates.  It's become glaringly obvious that meat consumption, especially with larger animals such as cattle, is unsustainable.  I definitely talked the talk, but didn't walk the walk - I championed free-range, ethically raised organic meat (and still do), but I didn't always eat it and of course couldn't bring myself to watch or read anything about what really goes on in a slaughterhouse (still don't want to).

The Paleo-Vegan diet is actually the healthiest diet theory I have come across - basically the emphasis is on a mostly vegan diet, with the occasional meat protein...a very realistic version of what (many of) our ancestors ate.  I think that if most people followed this diet, they would see drastic improvements in their health almost immediately.

I think it's really important to know that is a personal decision, without judgement of others. There is too much hatred and knee-jerk opposition in the world, too much shouting and moral outrage (hey Facebook!) which leaves no room for people to think, discuss, and reflect on important issues with each other because they are likely to have someone jump down their throat.

As always, I offer my services in a non-judgemental setting. I don't believe everyone should go vegan or even vegetarian. I don't believe in strict diets in general - I think you should listen to your body, revisit your beliefs and stay open to change, just as life does.

If you have thoughts on this I would love to hear them!

Barnstable Official Receives Award from NE Water Environment Association

Operator of the Year for 2018
NEWEA President Janine Burke-Wells presents 2018 operator award to Town of Barnstable's Robert Delgado. (Courtesy photo)

From the Town of Barnstable:

During the Awards Ceremony and Luncheon, the final event that took place during New England Water Environment Association’s (NEWEA) 89th Annual Conference & Exhibit, Robert Delgado, Chief Operator/Deputy Division Supervisor of the Town of Barnstable’s Water Pollution Control Division, was honored with the Massachusetts Operator Award.

NEWEA’s Annual Conference, which takes place each year during the last week in January at the Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, MA, gathers over 2,000 water professionals for several days of technical sessions, exhibitor displays, student and professional poster presentations, and a Young Professionals Summit, among other events. The conference culminates with the Awards Ceremony and Luncheon. During the ceremony, NEWEA’s leadership presents recipients with NEWEA, Water Environment Federation Member Association, and EPA Region One awards.

Robert Delgado received the Massachusetts Operator Award, which honors an individual who has shown a high interest and performance in wastewater operations. This award recognizes Robert’s years of hard work and dedication to the wastewater field.

“We’re pleased to have awarded Rob Delgado with Massachusetts Operator Award” said NEWEA Executive Director Mary Barry. “Professionals in the water industry work tirelessly, often without recognition, to protect, preserve, and manage New England’s water environment and access to clean water. Additionally, as a volunteer association, so much of what NEWEA does relies on the involvement of our members and volunteers. This award gives us the opportunity to recognize all that Rob has contributed to NEWEA and the New England water industry.”

Andrew Boulé, Division Supervisor for the Town of Barnstable Department of Public Works’ Water Pollution Control Division, said “Rob Delgado joined the Town of Barnstable in December of 2017 as the Chief Operator/Deputy Division Supervisor of the Water Pollution Control Division. He worked previously as the Assistant Chief Operator of the Town of Amherst Water Pollution Control Facility. His background in microbiology has proven valuable in maintaining a consistent wastewater treatment process at the Barnstable Water Pollution Control Facility. However, the most notable of Rob’s initiatives has been his emphasis on workplace safety. In his time with Barnstable, Rob has shown a strong commitment to public health, clean water, innovation, and the safety of his co-workers. This award is well deserved!” welcomes thoughtful comments and the varied opinions of our readers. We are in no way obligated to post or allow comments that our moderators deem inappropriate.

persona-4-arena-ultimax-jpn-screenshot- (6)

Today Atlus USA has announced that, as many of us would expect, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will cost $59.99 when it is released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America later this year in the fall season. To go along with this announcement and the fact that the game is now available for pre-order from a number of different retailers the publisher also released a number of new screenshots for the game which can be found below.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax takes place after the events of the first Persona 4 Arena where numerous characters from Persona 3 and 4 fight against one another to discover the mastermind behind the P-1 Climax. With the addition of new characters such as Junpei Ieori, Yukari Takeba, and the newly playable Rise Kujikawa already expanding the roster and shadow type characters, what more could be revealed before the game’s full release?

After playing games since a young age and getting into anime a bit later on its been time to write about a little bit of everything.

UCI President Pat McQuaid (Stephen Farrand)

Pat McQuaid, President of the UCI, whom Greg LeMond has said should “f##k off  and resign,” apparently thinks Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton are “scumbags.”

Mc Quaid is entitled to his opinion, of course, on these kinds of esthetic character judgments.  But I have to admit that, if given the choice of sitting down for a beer with Floyd Landis, Tyler Hamilton, or Pat McQuaid, I’d be inclined to choose the disgraced doping former cyclists over the current UCI president.

It’s not that I have any particular love for scumbags.  It’s that Pat McQuaid is one of the last people I’d ever trust to pick out the scumbags from any crowd.  Why?  McQuaid, even if he isn’t actually corrupt, may just be irredeemably stupid.  Being a mere scumbag isn’t a bar to an interesting conversation.  Stupidity, sadly, often is.

I don’t know Hamilton, Landis, or McQuaid.  But from what I’ve seen over the past few weeks, McQuaid’s bulb doesn’t burn very bright.

The UCI, in ratifying the USADA’s decision to strip Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France victories and ban him for life, admits by that action that USADA’s reasoned decision is persuasive on the question of whether Lance Armstrong won those Tours by cheating and using PEDs.  If it is persuasive about that question, it cannot but be even more persuasive on the question of whether doping was prevalent and widespread during the years Armstrong was racing.  Armstrong himself has never admitted to doping, but riders like Hincapie, Leipheimer, Zabriskie, etc. all confessed to repeated doping, with the assistance of a support network of doctors and directors sportif who looked the other way or encouraged the cheating.

Who was supposed to be in charge of policing these riders and teams?  The UCI.  Clearly, the UCI failed miserably in that mission.  That’s point one.

Point two is that since the USADA investigation was made public and the UCI was forced to strip Armstrong of his victories, Pat McQuaid has done only the bare minimum required to convince the sponsors and fans of cycling that the Armstrong affair won’t just be another repeat of the 1998 Festina affair, where a big stink was made about doping and then everyone got right back to it when the fuss died down.  He’s giving every appearance of kicking and screaming the whole way.

Point three: Pat McQuaid refuses to drop his lawsuit against Paul Kimmage.

Point four: Pat McQuaid publicly accuses Landis and Hamilton of being “scumbags” at the very moment that the problem of an omertà in the professional cycling peloton is at the forefront of everyone’s mind.  That, Pat, will do nothing to squelch that rumor.  It would be stupid of you not to realize that.

Point five: Pat McQuaid, after finding the USADA reasoned decision persuasive enough to strip Armstrong’s titles and impose a lifetime ban, goes on about how flawed the USADAs investigative techniques were, about how the USADA report included “animated or overstated language,” and implies that the USADA had a conflict of interest in investigating Armstrong. “It would have been better that the evidence collected by USADA had been assessed by a neutral body or person who was not involved in collecting the evidence and prosecuting the defendant.”  REALLY?  The USADA is the neutral body who was investigating Armstrong, because the conflicted body, the UCI, wasn’t doing it.  The breathtaking stupidity of this statement boggles my mind.  Travis Tygart of the USADA responds succinctly: “We set forth our position on why they were conflicted in this case on many different grounds. They accepted money from him (Armstrong), they accused us of a witch-hunt (without seeing any evidence), they sued the chief whistleblower, they discouraged witnesses from participating. They simply are trying to divert attention away from their own failures in this whole sad saga, and those that love the sport of cycling and clean sport should not allow that to happen.”  Exactly.  But Pat McQuaid says the USADA is the conflicted party.  That’s not just defensive; that’s stupid.

Point six: Pat Mc Quaid, if he wasn’t so stupid, would realize that the cloud of mistrust and suspicion that hangs over the UCI will not go away if he, Pat McQuaid, does not resign.  His failure to see that is the stupidest thing he’s done so far.

Tyler Hamilton may be a scumbag; I don’t know.  I’ve never met him.  But he’s certainly correct about the Armstrong affair and the role of Pat McQuaid: “Pat McQuaid’s comments expose the hypocrisy of his leadership and demonstrate why he is incapable of any meaningful change,” Hamilton said in a statement released on Tuesday.  “Instead of siezing an opportunity to instill hope for the next generation of cyclists, he continues to point fingers, shift blame and attack those who speak out, tactics that are no longer effective. Pat McQuaid has no place in cycling.”

Pat McQuaid should do as LeMond suggests.  Resign.  Perhaps it won’t save cycling and its fans from his corruption, but it will save them from his stupidity.

How to Prep Your Lawn for Winter

Posted on September 12, 2018

Everybody cares about curb appeal. Curb appeal is how attractive your house looks to passersby and potential buyers if your home is up for sale. Your curb appeal drops drastically if your yard isn’t up to snuff. Fall is the perfect time of year to get back on track with lawn care maintenance. Your local landscaper in Newton can help with any work you need completing before the winter sets in. The five basic steps to prepping your yard for the winner cover your grass, leaves, and soil so your yard will look great come spring.

Massachusetts landscaping from Cataldo

Mow Your Lawn

Chances are you didn’t mow your lawn as frequently as you should have this summer. Even if you have, keep mowing your lawn all through the fall. As it gets colder, grass grows at a slower pace. For the last one or two mows of the season, be sure to drop your blade to the lowest setting. This will keep your grass healthier in the winter.

Aerate the Grass

Aerating a lawn is the process of punching holes into the soil and removing bits so oxygen can get to your grass. The oxygen feeds into the roots. With stronger roots hidden beneath the earth, your lawn is more likely to survive the frost of the cold temperatures. To aerate your grass, you can use a simple rake or hoe. They also make gas-powered aerating machines to help with this task.

Rake Any Leaves

Everybody in New England is prepared for raking. Many look forward to the time of year when the leaves change colors and fall into piles made for jumping. However, as leaves cover your yard, they block out sunlight. Without sunlight, everything underneath the leaves will wilt and die. Be sure to keep on top of raking if you want green grass in the spring.

Fertilize the Soil

Fertilizing your soil gives it added nutrients for the grass and plants that grow there. Most landscapers agree that fall is the optimal time to feed your lawn. The fertilizer will benefit the roots and rhizomes of your grass below the surface of the soil.

Fill the Spots

The best way to get healthier grass is to grow it in the areas that may have thinned. When the grass starts to look brown or bald, it’s time to grow some fresh grass. Grass seed can be found at any local hardware store. However, for quick results talk to your landscaper in Newton for lawn installations.

With summer gone and fall here to stay, consider getting your lawn looking beautiful. On top of giving your house the curb appeal it deserves, the fall is the best time to prepare your yard for the winter. Talk to a landscaper in Newton for lawn care maintenance.

THIS WRITING LIFE: Frocking Up & Other Fun

2 Replies

Cos I’m a proud auntie and because we like a good frock-up here on the blog, I thought you might like to see some of the action from my gorgeous niece’s debutante ball, held recently in my home town of Mount Gambier.

But first, some adventures from the trip south…

We took a bit of detour off the Hume Highway to Holbrook, whose famous submarine, the HMAS Otway, had been yarnbombed and transformed into a true yellow submarine. Doesn’t that make you smile? Even on a gloomy day it’s bright and happy. Holbrook’s a great place to break your drive along the Hume. Call in, if you get the chance.

HMAS Otway covered in yellow crochet squaresAs you can see, the weather wasn’t much chop. Even the poor old Dog on the Tuckerbox at Gundagai looked miserable.

A wet Dog on the Tuckerbox at GundagaiLeading up to the big night, I did a some talks at Ballarat Library, Wiridjil Hall and Warrnambool Library – all fabulous events that I enjoyed hugely. But I’d like to give a special shout out to the wonderful people at Wiridjil, a tiny place a little inland from the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road. We had the BEST time. Thanks to Margaret and Terry for asking me to come and for organising the event. And thanks to all the people who turned up on such a blustery cold day. It was such a delight to meet and talk with you. We sure warmed that hall up!

Here’s me with fans Cheryl, Kristen and little Harley. As you can see, there were lots of smiles!

Me with fans Cheryl and Kristen at Wiridjil HallJim and I arrived early, so to kill some time we drove down for a look at the Twelve Apostles. Oh boy, was it windy. Good thing there was solid railing or I might never have made it to the talk.

Cathryn at the 12 Apostles, VictoriaAfter the talk and a delicious morning tea, we did a bit of cheese tasting and buying on the way to Warrnambool (as you do). Delicious it was too! But how’s this for a bit of dairy humour at Apostle Whey Cheese. Loved it.

A Loch Ness Cow at Apostle Whey CheeseWith my talks done and a day or so to spare, it was time for a bit of R&R at the old whaling station of Port Fairy. We stayed in the most amazing historic cottage at Seacombe House. Open fire, four-poster bed, massive bathroom with spa and the acclaimed Stag Restaurant almost at the door. Sigh. T’was very romantic. Going to do it again.

Also snuck in some golf at the Port Fairy Golf Links. As you can see, it was a tad nippy. That’s a fleece beanie and fleece ear-warmers, not to mention about five layers of clothing, that I’m wearing in this photo. At least the sun is out at that point. When we teed off the rain was sleeting sideways at us. Urk.

Playing Golf at Port Fairy Golf LinksThen it was on to Mount Gambier and an old-fashioned frock-up!

Hundreds of proud mums, dads, relatives and friends packed the Barn Palais to watch twelve girls make their debut on what was a typical winter night in the lower south-east of SA. In other words, cold, wet and miserable. But it was warm, happy and buzzing inside, and that’s what counts.

Before the ball itself we had some entertainment…

The Blue Lake Highland Pipe Band!

Pipe BandHighland dancers!

Highland dancersAnd fairies! I’d show you a snap but they moved too quick for the camera.

Then the big moment when the girls were presented one by one to the Mayor and Lady Mayoress, complete with super-cute flower girls traipsing behind. All the debs and their partners looked stunning. But none more so than my niece Megan. Must take after her auntie (hee!)

Here she is about to be presented. The Dress Stewart sash and brooch Megan is wearing is the same as I wore for my debut back in 1985.

Me and my beautiful niece Megan

And here are all the debs, their partners and flower girls looking beautiful.

All the debutantesAfter a good time was had by all in Mt Gambier (where I whupped my dad’s butt on the golf course) it was off to Melbourne for more R&R and to see the Italian Masterpieces exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria.

On the way, we ducked into Dartmoor to visit the Memorial Streetscape, which are carvings made from the stumps of a section of the town’s cedar tree Avenue of Honour. A lovely local lady was kind enough to come out into the cold and give us a brochure explaining all the carvings. Wonderful. Very much worth the detour.

Dartmoor Memorial StreetscapeThe Italian Masterpieces exhibition was spectacular, as were these bears in Federation Court by Italian artist Paola Pivi. The installation is called You started it…I finish it. I’m not sure what it all means but aren’t they happy things? So much fun!

And because I’m a romance writer and these things appeal to me, here’s a photo of all the locks on the Yarra footbridge at Southbank in Melbourne. Lovers clip the engraved locks to the footbridge’s wire rail and throw the key into the Yarra River as a sign of eternal love. Awww.

Locks on Yarra footbridge, Southbank, MelbourneSo ended our mini-break. Since our return home it’s been settling back into routine and full steam ahead on my next romantic adventure.

After all, gotta keep these books a-coming!

Stacy Keibler Felt Like a ‘Warrior’ After Drug-Free Home Birth

Stacy Keibler felt like she went through a war after giving birth to daughter Ava Grace at home last August, sans drugs. But she says it was the best kind of battle — and she’d happily do it all over again.

“I felt like we went to war together. I kept saying, ‘Ava’s a warrior. I’m a warrior.’ It was one of my mantras that I would say. Then when she came out, I feel like we had this bond that we had just fought together,” she tells Ricki Lake in a new video for The Business of Being Born.

Keibler, 35, credits the film with helping her and husband Jared Pobre make decisions about her pregnancy and Ava’s birth.

“Watching The Business of Being Born changed everything for my husband and I,” she says. “We really wanted to research midwives and wanted to learn as much as we could about doing things more naturally.”

Specifically, Keibler says she chose to stay extra healthy during her pregnancy, to give her the stamina she anticipated needing for childbirth. She and her husband chose a midwife and doula who had the “right energy” and says she also wrote up a two-page birth plan, with instructions on what to do if she was required to go to the hospital.

“If I had to go to the hospital, they pretty much couldn’t do anything unless it was an emergency situation,” she recalls. “I just want to help educate other women out there because there’s so many choices I didn’t realize I could make.”

Instagram Photo

The actress and model’s choices were put to the test even before she went into labor, with the baby being overdue and her OB suggesting induction. With the support of her midwife, Keibler says she knew she would not choose to be induced.

Ultimately, Keibler says labor lasted 19 hours, “and for 12 of those hours my water hadn’t even broken yet.”

To combat the pain, she repeated mantras and tried to visualize herself with her baby in her arms.

In the end, not everything went exactly according to plan, but Keibler chalks that up to a perfect introduction for her journey ahead.

“I really think it prepared me for motherhood,” she explains. “You’re going to go through a lot of things you don’t expect. I had my weakest and strongest moments. I’ll have those again being a mother.”

The Phoenix Suns came into the Boston Garden and beat down the Celtics on the glass and the scoreboard, 111-103. The Suns dominated the boards as they out-rebounded the Celtics 56-37. Aron Baynes headed to the locker room early in the game after fighting for a rebound and it was later reported he fractured his hand and will require surgery, which certainly had some impact in the C's getting out-muscled on the glass.

Kyrie Irving scored 29 points on 10 of 19 shooting with 10 assists and 5 rebounds. Jayson Tatum scored 18, grabbed 8 boards, and a 4 blocks, only to be beaten in that department by the Time Lord himself, Robert Williams, who swatted 5 shots to go along with 8 points and 8 rebounds after getting soem extra run with Baynes out early.

Deandre Ayton
was a monster, scoring 23 points and 18 rebounds. Devin Booker led the Suns with 25 points and 8 assists, despite not having his best shooting night (9 for 23). TJ Warren chipped in 21 points as well.

Irving got the C's rolling as he put on a passing clinic to help jump-start the offense with 6 assists in the 1st quarter en route to a double-digit lead for Boston early:

The Suns did however respond in the 2nd, as Ayton and Booker powered them back into the game with 16 1st-half points a-piece. Phoenix rattled off a 23-6 run that as the Celtics played sloppy and couldn't buy themselves a rebound. The C's were able to weather that storm though, ending the half strong and icing it with a Marcus Smart heave that went down at the buzzer:

The careless play that dominated the beginning of that 2nd quarter reared it's ugly head again after the break. Only this time, turnovers and poor shooting allowed the Suns begin to build themselves a lead through three quarters. An incredibly sloppy start to the 4th quarter, including a stretch of three-straight possessions ending in turnovers, found the Celtics trailing big.

The Celtics were able to chip away at a 13-point Suns advantage enough to cut it to 5 with just under two minutes to go, but our old pal Kelly Oubre Jr, recently acquired from Washington via trade, hit a dagger three to put the game out of reach for the C's.

The Boston Celtics winning streak continued Monday night, as they took down the New Orleans Pelicans 113-100.

While the game stayed close early, a scorching hot shooting night for Marcus Morris, supported by strong outings by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown (who did not start out shooting so well) was enough to hold the Pels at bay despite a 41-point outing from Anthony Davis.

For New Orleans, besides Davis, only Julius Randle made an impact on the offensive end of the court, scoring 20 of his own, and for Boston, depleted with multiple nagging injuries and illness keeping several key players out of tonight's rotation, Robert Williams got his first serious burn of the season.

The T I M E L O R D did not disappoint, logging multiple blocks on Davis while pulling down eleven boards and scoring seven points; it's going to get increasingly crowded in Boston's frontcourt if he can keep turning in performances like tonight's - a problem the Cs are certainly not upset about having.

While the team continued to ace its tougher games over this relatively light stretch of games with a win tonight, it did so with an entirely different lineup due to the injuries, perhaps signaling the team is truly clicking on all cylinders.

Have You Been Paying Attention? goes worldwide

A big congratulations is in order for the team at Working Dog.

The hit TV quiz series Have You Been Paying Attention? (HYBPA?) has been picked up by TEN Network U.S. owners CBS for worldwide rights to the series.

Pang, Gleisner, Logie, Kavalee.

Beginning in 2013, the fast-paced quiz show hosted by Tom Gleisner, alongside regular panelists Ed Kavalee and Sam Pang, started as a 30 minute show on a Sunday night containing rotating chairs of guests answering topical questions of the week, often with humorous results. While not originally a ratings winner, the show built an audience slowly, moving time slots and eventually extending to an hour, settling on Monday nights and winning numerous Logie awards.

This is not the first venture that Working Dog has had with expanding their content to international audiences. Their previous theatre sports series Thank God You’re Here format was sold to FremantleMedia, who in turn licensed the rights to 18 countries.

Congratulations to everyone at Working Dog Productions!

I love to throw. Clay on the wheel feels like silk beneath my hands. Spinning nothing into something, it is as close to working magic as I ever expect to get. My aim is to create a pot that is visually and tactilely welcoming — one that works well and is a joy to hold and use.
I have worked in clay for over thirty years. In the early 1980s I received an AA in Production Crafts from Haywood Tech, and then moved to Creedmoor where I had a studio at Cedar Creek Gallery. After more than a decade as a studio potter, I moved away from pottery as my only means of support, but was never long without a small studio. In the past few years I have once again been working exclusively in clay.
Along the way I’ve worked with a number of inspiring potters including Sid Oakley, who not only had a magnificent vision, but made it manifest; Brad Tucker, my idea of the complete potter‚ creating the perfect balance of form, function, and surface; and, most recently, Siglinda Scarpa, who is a fearless woman and artist, and challenged me to take what I see around me and incorporate it into my pottery. Her influence is apparent in all the hand-building I do.
What the Guild offers me is the opportunity to participate fully in a local community of dedicated craftsmen and artists, and to be inspired and motivated to stretch my vision. What I offer the Guild is a pair of willing hands and time and enthusiasm to support and learn about the Chatham community of artists.

Golden Comets

Golden comets are a brown-egg laying breed which have been bred from crossing a New Hampshire rooster with a White Rock hen. They are one of several crosses known generally as ‘red sex links‘ and can be sexed by the colour they hatch out as chicks. Golden comet male chicks hatch out white whilst the girls will hatch out more of a brownish red colour.

The video below shows six Golden Comet Pullets at a few days old.
