Introducing Graphic 45 Ambassador: Jane Tregenza
Happy Wednesday, G45ers! Thanks for joining us for another day of fun on the blog. Who remembers the wonderful Jane Tregenza? Jane was one our Design Team for three years, she's the owner of Imaginarium Designs chipboard, and an incredible teacher! She also owns Seriously Scrapbooking in Australia. We are so excited to welcome her to our Ambassador Team this year! Today, we will share five projects that so beautifully reflect Jane's signature style - glorious layering, rich colors, glorious texture, and fantastic photos! What a great day this will be.
You may be wondering "What is a G45 Ambassador?" It's a designer we have specifically invited to represent Graphic 45, since they are already teaching so many wonderful classes and workshops with Graphic 45 products all over the world. You will see familiar faces in this group of designers and teachers. This program is invite-only and we asked some amazing crafters for this team. We are so excited to welcome these designers to this brand new program with Graphic 45!
Let's welcome our newest Graphic 45 Ambassador, Jane Tregenza!
"I am the mother of 5 wonderful children, who all feature in my scapbooking projects from time to time. I have been married for over 30 years to a wonderful man who supports me in my journey through life. I am also the mum to a very special young lady who has taught me so much about myself. When our daughter was born with downs syndrome, it was quite a shock. At 22 it was not something I had ever thought about or even contemplated having to deal with. How grateful I am for that special baby. It has taken me on quite a different journey to the one I had planned. Once she finished school, she needed work and so I decide to open my own scrapbooking store and employ her to work for me. I was already teaching scrapbooking at two different stores, but the decision to have my own store was a huge step for me. I re-entered the work force after being a stay at home mum for over 15 years with no experience of running a small business.
What a journey it has been. Scrapbooking has taken me all over Australia and to the USA as well. In my own store, I teach about 10 classes a month, all with Graphic 45. I have been invited to be a tutor at the larges scrapbooking and paper craft expo in Australia for the past 4 years. I always teach Graphic 45 projects. At this event I have met women from all over Australia and New Zealand who are also fans of Graphic 45 – fellow kindred Spirits.
This year my goal has been to get lots of my projects and books into kits with tutorials for those unable to attend my classes. To date I have over 60 different projects in kit form, all using Graphic 45 papers. One of my strengths are my tutorials. I send out 1000's of kits each year and have no one who can't work the project out using my tutorial. It is great to be able to provide inspiration, but even better to share, and teach someone one of my projects. My tutorials allow me to do this. Even some of my harder projects still work with a tutorial, as you know from my precious time with you.
I love all forms of scrapbooking, books, altered art, off the page, cards, books and more. It doesn't matter what I make, when I use Graphic 45, I can always make the papers work for me. I just love the designs, colours and patterns – it is a perfect match for my style of scrapbooking. I don't tend to use a lot of embellishments but rather use the papers to get the effect I want or cut them to make my own embellishments. I was so delighted when Graphic 45 introduced their own chipboards, diecuts, stickers and staples. It all got easier and everything matched.
My work is classic, (I thinks that's the word I would use to sum my work up) and my style appeals to lots of ladies. I love the challenge of mixing my Graphic 45 collections and I have a good eye for colour and what works well together.
I still get excited when I see the new collections arrive and my mind goes into overdrive as I look at
each paper and see the potential just sitting there waiting for me to get stuck in.
I so enjoyed my three years on Graphic 45's design team, and I can't thank Graphic 45 enough for giving me the honour of being one of their Ambassadors. I am so looking forward to sharing my work with you all this year."
This is a stunning alterd box by the amazing Jane. We love how she combines the rich pastels of A Ladies' Diary with classic black finishes.
"This is the box that goes with a book I made for the "Women in our Family". The book is for the women in my family. I am starting with my Great Great Grandmothers, then my Great Grandmothers, Grandmothers, Mother and myself. I am also doing pages for my girls. This is going to be the perfect keepsake book, full of memories, photos and ephemera. A Ladies Diary is one of my favourite collections. The papers are so beautiful with lovely images that just lend themselves to making a very beautiful book."

Staff Writer
Columbus CEO
DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions have announced a name and sponsor for its college bowl game.
Team officials said Tuesday that the Quick Lane Bowl will be played Dec. 26 at Ford Field, the Detroit Lions' home. The multi-year deal is with Ford Motor Co.'s chain of Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
The bowl, set to air on ESPN, will feature Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference teams.
Since 2002, Ford Field had hosted the recently canceled Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, which tried to match the Big Ten and Mid-American Conference. The Lions and the Houston Texans are the only NFL teams to operate a college football bowl game.

Jaime ends fall with 15-3 singles record and three championships
BLACKSBURG, Va. (Nov. 6, 2011) – The ETSU women's tennis team wrapped up the fall season on Sunday at the Hokie Fall Classic, but were unable to build on its fall title count as the Bucs fell in both the Flight A and Flight D final inside Virginia Tech's Burrow-Burleson Athletics Center.
Senior Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) and freshman Jessica Brumit (Elizabethton Tenn.) each dropped straight set matches to Tulane, Jaime in Flight A and Brumit in Flight D, as ETSU walked away without a championship for just the second time this fall. Jaime fell to Mariam Kurdadze 7-5, 7-5, and Emma Helisten defeated Brumit 6-1, 6-4.
"We had a great tournament this past weekend," said ETSU assistant coach Travis Sandlant. "Unfortunately, we did not get it done in the two main draw finals, but I have seen a lot of positive signs throughout the fall and in this tournament."
ETSU enjoyed success elsewhere in singles play, as Diana Navrostska (Lviv, Ukraine), Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) and Giulia Andreazza (Balneario Camboriu, Brazil) all ended the fall season on the winning end. Navrostska defeated Othilia Lindqvist of Wofford 6-0, 6-2, Kedzo took out William & Mary's Sydney Smith 5-6. 7-5, 1-0 (6) and Andreazza defeated Liberty's Nicole Wellman 6-1, 6-3.
Regardless of Sunday's results, ETSU has enjoyed a successful 2011 fall season behind the play of Jaime. The senior has played through five tournaments, boasting a 15-3 singles record and winning three championships. The highlight of Jaime's fall season came at the USTA/ITA Ohio Valley Regional, where she went 5-0 through the back draw on her way to capturing ETSU's first regional title in program history. At the conclusion of play, the ETSU senior was also voted to receive the regional tournament's Sportsmanship Award.
"Paula [Jaime] has had a fantastic fall season," added Sandlant. "She started the season playing well and has only continued to improve with each tournament. If she continues to play like this in the spring, it would be a big help to our entire team.
"We are going to wind down for the rest of the year, focus on our strength and conditioning and come back healthy and ready for a, hopefully, successful spring."

When Angie's nekkid husband comes in (but we didn't get to see him – lawd!) and Ann says she flaps around her house like a bird – well dang — and I receive texts that Ann interprets as inappropriate (because they usually are – teehee). But we do manage to stay on topic, a little anyway.
And yes, I have neglected my blog and for that I offer up only discombobulated grunts. One day my life will fall back into place, but won't that be boring? haw! My life, right now, is all about exploration and discovery and wild rides and meeting new people and seeing new (and old) places and experiencing things I've never experienced because I've been afraid or busy or made excuses or was hiding — now, well, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAWWWWWWWWWWW! watch out, Kat (or watch out, World – maybe I should say!). All many of these experiences will go into my new novel. Yeah. WHUPOW!

Colombia - 2018
Our great bird guide Rudy Gelis and driver Hermes were indispensable on this rather difficult trip in north central Colombia, more or less an area between Bogota and Medellin. We captured images of species residing in the Eastern and Central Andes, in addition to the Magdalena River valley. Although the first part of the trip was difficult, we were able to fulfill our expectations. Beautiful mountains and river valleys, and many, many bicyclistsRead More

Twitter, which announced plans on Thursday to go public, is the latest US technology company to test the waters on Wall Street.
Here is a look at the fortunes of some other notable tech companies which have conducted initial public offerings over the past two years:
Facebook: The social network started by Mark Zuckerberg, which now has more than 1.1 billion users around the globe, had a rocky debut after it went public at $38 a share in May 2012 with a valuation of $16 billion.
Facebook shares fell below $20 over the past year and only climbed back over their offer price in July. Facebook shares closed at $44.75 on Thursday, boosted recently by reports that mobile advertising revenue is on the rise.
LinkedIn: The social network for professionals and job-hunters,LinkedIn has been one of the biggest stars of the technology sector since turning to Wall Street in May 2011.
Shares of LinkedIn more than doubled from their offer price of $45 on the first day of trading. LinkedIn, launched in 2003, closed at $249.70 on Thursday.
Groupon: Online daily deals sensation Groupon went public in November 2011, raising $700 million in what at the time was the biggest initial public offering by an Internet company since Google.
But the Chicago-based company, which was listed on the Nasdaq at $20, has struggled since then and its share price closed at $11.76 on Thursday. Founder Andrew Mason was fired as chief executive of the company in February amid sluggish growth.
Yelp: Shares of restaurant and business review website Yelp have soared since the San Francisco-based company went public in March 2012 with a $15 initial public offering price.
Yelp shares closed at $63.77 on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday. Yelp, founded in 2004, offers user-generated reviews of service businesses by city across the United States, Canada and western Europe.
Pandora: Internet radio Pandora made its Wall Street debut in June 2011, raising $235 million with stock priced at $16 a share.
Pandora, which creates personalized radio stations for users based upon their favorite artists or songs, traded below its offer price until recently but closed at $23.97 on Thursday. Pandora named a new chief executive on Wednesday, sending its stock price up 12 percent for the day.
Zynga: Online gamemaker Zynga was valued at $7 billion when it made its play on the stock market in December 2011.
But the company behind Facebook games such as FarmVille and Mafia Wars has been on a losing streak since then. Zynga shares, which were offered at $10, closed at $3.02 on Thursday.

Arcia powers Twins past Brewers 6-4
Ramirez homers in first game back with Brewers
Oswaldo Arcia drove in four runs, including the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, to push the Minnesota Twins past Milwaukee 6-4 on Wednesday night for their seventh win in the last eight meetings with the Brewers.
Arcia hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning, going deep for the third time in 10 games since his recall from Triple-A, and Josh Willingham forced in a run with a bases-loaded walk in the fifth inning before setting up Arcia's go-ahead single with a two-out double.
Aramis Ramirez returned from the disabled list after missing 21 games with a strained left hamstring to wallop a three-run homer that tied the game at 4 in the seventh, following leadoff singles by Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Gomez.
Ricky Nolasco (4-5), who retired 13 straight batters until that point, recovered to finish the inning and pick up the victory when the Twins rallied again in the bottom of the frame against Rob Wooten (1-3) and Will Smith, who was summoned to face Arcia. He took second on the throw home and scored on a single by Trevor Plouffe, just the second earned run against Smith all season and the first in 15 games.
Nolasco struck out seven without a walk while allowing six hits, another step forward from an awful first month with the Twins after signing the richest free agent contract in club history.
Glen Perkins pitched a perfect ninth for his 16th save in 18 chances.
Ramirez started the season strong but was slumping badly when he got hurt, and the first-place Brewers haven't missed a beat without him, with Mark Reynolds and his 13 home runs at third base. They started this string of 15 of 18 games on the road with the lead after consecutive two-out doubles by Rickie Weeks and Reynolds in the second, but for the second straight game the Twins had success against part of what has been a sturdy rotation for the Brewers.
The return of Willingham and Arcia to the heart of the order after missing a combined 74 games with wrist injuries and rehab assignments was a big boost for the Twins last week, and they gave Marco Estrada trouble.
Estrada has pitched six or more innings in 10 of his 12 starts, but only once has he finished seven. He gave up six hits and three walks while striking out four.
The Twins played Danny Santana, who has been brought up as a shortstop, in center field instead of the sputtering Aaron Hicks for the seventh time in the last 10 games, and manager Ron Gardenhire said the organization has been considering a longer-term experiment for Santana there.
"It's a learning experience. He hasn't done this for a while, but we sure like what he brings," Gardenhire said.
NOTES: The four-game burst between the border-state rivals finishes Thursday, with Wily Peralta (4-5, 2.73 ERA) pitching for the Brewers and Kevin Correia (2-6, 5.87 ERA) taking the mound for the Twins. Peralta is 0-4 in his last five starts, but with a 3.64 ERA. Correia lost to Mashiro Tanaka and the Yankees in New York last week while giving up just one run in six innings. Both teams will wear throwback uniforms from the 1980s, with the Twins in their powder-blue road jerseys from that era. ... Twins RHP Mike Pelfrey, put on the DL more than a month ago due to a strained groin, had an MRI Monday and saw a specialist Tuesday about his surgically repaired elbow. Next week, he will travel to Florida to see Dr. James Andrews, who performed the Tommy John ligament replacement procedure on his arm in 2012. ... Gomez's success in the No. 4 spot, where he batted for the 12th straight game, allowed manager Ron Roenicke to ease Ramirez back in at No. 5. But Roenicke said his ideal order is Gomez leading off. The Brewers have used at least four different players in each of the nine spots this season. ... Twins CF Sam Fuld (concussion) will start a rehab assignment with Double-A New Britain if there are no problems after batting practice Thursday.

Lawyer: Snowden gets 3 more years in Russia
MOSCOW — Edward Snowden's lawyer says the NSA whistleblower has been granted permission to stay in Russia for three more years.
Snowden last year was granted temporary asylum of one year in Russia, but that ran out on Aug. 1.
YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN | Snowden no hero as Putin's pawn
His lawyer, Analtoly Kucherena, was quoted by Russian news agencies on Thursday as saying Snowden now has been granted residency for three more years, but that he had not been granted political asylum. That status, which would allow him to stay in Russia permanently, must be decided by a separate procedure, Kucherena said, but didn't say whether Snowden is seeking it.
Snowden was stranded in a Moscow airport last year en route from Hong Kong to Cuba, shortly after he released extensive documentation about National Security Agency's surveillance programs. He reportedly spent a month in the airport before receiving the temporary asylum, but was seen only at one tightly restricted meeting with human rights representatives.
Since receiving the temporary asylum, his whereabouts have not been made public.
The case has been significant contributor to the tensions between Russia and the United States.
"I don't think there's ever been any question that I'd like to go home," Snowden said in a television interview in May. "Now, whether amnesty or clemency ever becomes a possibility is not for me to say. That's a debate for the public and the government to decide. But, if I could go anywhere in the world, that place would be home."

Here's something new. Instead of trawling youtube to find the Sunday Night Movie, I've made my own. Click above to watch the compressed version, or if you have a speedy connection click here to see it in full HD glory.
I spent the afternoon experimenting with the video capabilities of the new Canon EOS 7d. The 7d is the newest camera in Canon's SLR lineup, and unlike earlier models it can shoot high-definition video as well as stills.
I've been very curious to see how the video performs with my macro lenses. A lab colony of Odontomachus chelifer trap-jaw ants at the University proved patient and willing subjects for my first experiment. These ants have absolutely fascinating mandibles, they are held open like a bear trap and snap shut on a hair trigger.

Explanation of the Sermon of Imam Sajjad (a.s.) in Damascus
- :Dr. Ibrahim Ayati
- 963
In the foregoing pages we have reproduced the sermon delivered by Imam Sajjad in Damascus. Every word of that, sermon confirms the frankness, bravery and spiritual greatness I of the Imam and incidentally the value and necessity of such sermons and speeches delivered in the circumstances then prevailing become clear. It has also become evident that these sermons and addresses were not such that they should have been delivered as a consequence of sentiments, spiritual uneasiness and pressure of hardships. Whatever the men and women of Ahlul Bayt said during the journey, which culminated in their martyrdom and captivity, and has been recorded in history, consists of speeches which were delivered, as and when it was appropriate and necessary, in accordance with a minute and properly chalked out plan. Just as Imam Husayn knew well as to what he was doing and where he was going and what the result of his activities would be, other members of the Holy Prophet's family also possessed perfect insight, and whenever they felt it necessary to speak they ignored all their mental sufferings and depressions, and revealed the realities in such away that it was no longer possible to tamper with them. It is, however, certain that at that time most of the people were not aware of the importance of their speeches and the depth of their object. Very often they thought about this very sermon of the fourth Imam that a bereaved person was crying and lamenting as his sentiments had been aroused and with the passage of time he would become calm and forget all that he was saying. However, history not only recorded the sermon delivered by the fourth Imam but also recorded the words and poetic verses of Yazid and handed them over to the posterity, and placed them side by side with each other so that on one page of history the people should read that Imam Sajjad said in the city of Damascus with great dignity: "I am the son of Makkah and Mina. I am the son of Zamzam and Safa. I am the son of the Prophet of Allah ", and on the next page of history they should find that Yazid said: "There was nothing like revelation or prophet hood. On this pretext Bani Hashim wished to befool the people and to rule over them". Indeed, even if Yazid did not fear Allah and did not feel ashamed before the Holy Prophet why did he not fear the power of history and why was he not afraid that whatever he was saying would be recorded?
Individuals come in the world and depart and the nations are dislocated. However, the rise and fall of the nations and the change in governments does not affect history. It continues to occupy its place and carefully supervises the good and evil deeds of the individuals and the traffic of the nations. It does not confuse the account of one person with that of another and does not make anyone responsible for another's sin.
The Holy Qur'an says: Those are a people who have passed away. Theirs is that which they earned, and yours is that which you earn. You will not be asked of what they used to do. (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:134)
History records the behavior of the people to maintain accounts in this world and the angels write them for accountability in the Hereafter.
In the second part of the speech delivered by lady Zaynab, daughter of Imam Ali in Damascus, (its first part has already been dealt with in the foregoing pages ), she warned Yazid firstly of the accountability in the Hereafter and secondly of the accountability before history and the world. It was in this very part that she said to him: "O Yazid! On the day when Allah will be the judge and Prophet Muhammad will plead for justice and your limbs will give evidence against you, your father, who made you dominate the Muslims, will receive the punishment due to him. On that day it will become known what reward the oppressors get and whose place is worse and whose party is humble. (O enemy of Allah and O enemy of the son of the Prophet of Allah!) I swear by Allah that I consider you quite mean and incorrigible. However, what can I do? Our eyes weep and our bosoms burn and our martyrs cannot come to life by reproaching or reprimanding you. Our Husayn has been killed and the partisans of Satan take us to the fools and take from Allah's wealth remuneration for showing disrespect to Allah. Our blood trickles from their hands and our flesh falls from their mouths and the pure bodies of our martyrs have been placed at the disposal of the wolves and the rapacious animals of the jungle. If you think that you stand to gain today by killing us, you will suffer for it on the Day of Judgment. It will be the day on which you will possess nothing except your deeds. It will be the day on which you will shout at the son of Marjana and he will shout at you. It will be the day on which you and your followers will quarrel with one another by the side of the scale of Divine Justice. It will be the day on which you will learn that the best provision which your father made for you was that you should kill the descendants of the Prophet of Allah. I swear by Allah that I do not fear anyone except Him and do not complain before anyone else".
So far the daughter of Imam Ali warned Yazid of Divine punishment and accountability on the Day of Judgment. Then she invited his attention to his being accountable to history and told him that even if he did not fear Allah and did not believe in the Day of Judgment or had lost his faith on account of his sins, he should fear history that would disgrace him. It was with this object in view that the daughter of Ali said: "O Yazid! Practice deceit, pursue your vicious plans and do whatever you can. I swear by Allah that the stain of disgrace which has been stamped on your name owing to the treatment meted out by you to us cannot be obliterated and this ignominy can never be converted to goodness". The daughter of lady Fatima Zahra invited the attention of Yazid to the might of history and warned him against shame and disgrace. However, Yazid who, it might be said, had lost intelligence did not benefit from lady Zaynab's words and could not foresee the future of history. On this occasion the following tradition of the Holy Prophet quoted by Suyuti in his book Jami'us Saghir was applicable to Yazid: "When Allah wishes to execute His Decree He takes away intelligence from the intelligent people so that He may do with them what He likes. And, when what He wills is accomplished, He restores their intelligence to them and then they regret very much what they have done". If Yazid had not been deprived of his intelligence he should have realized that after killing the son of the Prophet of Allah and his near ones, it would not be possible for him to rule the Muslims and to ignore this great Islamic tragedy. And even if he could not understand this fact he should have at least so much sense that he should not have attacked the very basis of Islam in his poetic verses and should not have announced openly his decision to take revenge upon the children of the Prophet of Allah and should not have denied the Divine revelation and the Prophethood of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
Lady Zaynab, the daughter of Fatima Zahra concluded her speech with thanks to Allah and said: "Allah be thanked Who ended the task of the chiefs of the young men of Paradise with benevolence and made Paradise their resting place. I pray to Allah that He may raise their ranks and shower His blessings on them, for Allah is Almighty, All-Powerful".
It was this very speech which obliged Yazid to pretend I disgust for Ibn Ziyad and to curse him. It has been written that while sending the Ahlul Bayt to Madina Yazid called Imam Sajjad and said to him: "May Allah curse the son of Marjana. By Allah, if I had met your father I would have agreed to whatever he had suggested and asked for, and would not have allowed, as far as possible, that he should have been killed. However, whatever has happened had been destined. I wish that you may write to me from Madina for all your requirements". Yazid did not say this to seek Divine pleasure. He was grateful to Ibn Ziyad that he had killed Imam Husayn and his companions and in reply to his letter seeking instructions about the Ahlul Bayt who had been made prisoners he (Yazid) had himself written that they should be sent to Syria. Yazid's cursing Ibn Ziyad had only a political tinge, and was the outcome of the pressure of public thinking. The sermon delivered by Imam Sajjad in Syria and the Qur'anic verses recited by him in the bazaar in reply to a Syrian and whatever else the Ahlul Bayt said produced their result. So much so that the martyrdom of Imam Husayn was mourned first of all in Damascus, the capital of the caliphate, and in the caliph's own house. The Syrian women also came to know the true facts about the tragedy of Karbala. Perhaps the month of Muharram of the year 61 A.H. had not yet come to an end when the news of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn reached various Islamic regions and their inhabitants became aware of most of the events that had taken place. When the storm and thunder of the caliphate subsided the people came to their senses, felt grieved on account of what had happened and reproached themselves for their unpardonable negligence in helping the Imam and supporting Truth. Gradually the same correct view was adopted as had prompted the people of Kufa to invite the Imam before his martyrdom.
Later, they realized their mistake and decided to make amends for it, although the loss of an Imam like Husayn bin Ali, the grandson of the Holy Prophet, was irreparable and wailing and regret could not make amends for it. Mu'awiya had said: " After Ali bin Abi Talib the world has become barren and cannot produce a son like him". Indeed it is so and another Ali cannot be born. Similarly it is Impossible to produce an Imam like Husayn, because there must be pure and sacred parents like his to give birth to a son like him. Every loss can be made good sooner or later, but how can the loss of such sublime personalities be compensated?

"But how do you live without cheese!"
If you're vegan (or lactose intolerant) you've probably heard that at least once, or a thousand times. Thankfully, there's been some really amazing vegan chefs who have made our cheeseless existence quite tolerable. Miyoko Schinner, Jay Astafa, Somer McGowan, and Skye Michael Conroy, have all taught me some valuable tips on vegan-cheese making. I actually took the inspiration from this from Richa Hingle at Vegan Richa. Her vegan cheddar cheese ball came across my feed around Halloween and I knew the flavors would be perfect for an adaptation of my mozzerella aquafaba cheese. The original recipe that I drew inspiration from for the cashew mozzarella was developed by Jay Astafa. You can watch the YouTube video here. I noticed he uses soy lecithin as an emulsifier, which aquafaba has been shown to do in recipes like Nina's butter and Peanut Butter and Vegan's mayo. This inspired me to make the cashew mozzarella using aquafaba as the emulsifier.
Vegan cheese doesn't create casein protein strands like dairy cheeses do, which is why we use tapioca starch to create that stretchy texture. Some places may have it labeled at tapioca flour, but they should be interchangeable. I find mine at an international market for a cheaper price. I use vegan lactic acid powder to create that dairy-like tang in this recipe. It's definitely worth the purchase, but if you cannot buy it, substitute a tablespoon of lemon juice instead. Since cheddar has a significant tang to it, I include apple cider vinegar as well as miso paste. Nutritional yeast also adds to the cheesy flavor. Refined coconut oil helps with firmness upon refrigeration and improves the mouthfeel and melt.
Most vegan cheeses use either agar or kappa carrageenan as a binder to be sliceable and shreddable. I choose to use kappa carrageenan, as I prefer the melt and mouthfeel it imparts. I am well aware that many people choose not to consume it and I completely respect that; this recipe may be possible with agar powder, but I have not tested it. If you do test it, please contact me with your results!
If you like this recipe, be sure to check out these other vegan cheese recipes:
Cheddar Cheese Ball
Another Cheddar Cheese Ball
Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Cultured Cheddar
The Vegan Meringue group on is a great place for more aquafaba recipes as well.
• 1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight or boiled for 15 minutes
• 1 cup aquafaba, preferably chickpea or Vor Aquafaba Powder
• 2 tbsp tapioca starch
• 3 tsp kappa carrageenan
• 1/2 tsp lactic acid
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 2 tsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp miso paste
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp turmeric (for color)
• 3/4 tsp salt*
• 6 tbsp refined coconut oil, liquid
• 1 tsp raw apple cider vinegar
*You may need to adjust the salt level a bit lower if using salted aquafaba.
1. Blend softened cashews and aquafaba in a high speed blender until as smooth as possibly. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any large particles and return to blender. It should be very smooth after blending. You may find there are still a few cashew particles if you're using a lower quality blender or food processor, which is why I recommend straining.
2. Add lactic acid, tomato paste, miso, onion powder, nutritional yeast, paprika, turmeric and salt and pulse in a blender to combine.
3. Add coconut oil, tapioca starch, and carrageenan, and blend again very briefly. Mixture will be smooth and a little thick.
4. Heat in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat while stirring regularly. It will look like quite lumpy as the tapioca starch activates. Continue to stir, and it will eventually turn glossy and smooth, like melted cheese. When it reaches 170°F, it is done. You will see it begin to bubble around the edges and maintain its thickness. Quickly add the apple cider
vinegar and remove from heat. If your emulsion breaks (the oil starts to separate), remove from heat and stir quickly to recombine. If it's already too far gone, you can use an immersion blender to combine it again.
5. Pour into a mold. Refrigerate for a few hours to fully firm up the cheese before slicing or grating.

LulzSec Hacker Exposed by the Service He Thought Would Hide Him
Hidemyass.com didn't, gave details on hacker to investigators instead
On Thursday, the FBI arrested two suspected hackers who allegedly participated in Anonymous and LulzSec attacks. One of them, Cody Kretsinger, faces 15 years in prison for allegedly helping break into the Sony Pictures website with an SQL injection and publishing user data. As we described on Thursday, the indictment against Kretsinger says he used what's called a proxy server to hide his identity while carrying out the attack. But on Friday it emerged that the site he allegedly used to disguise his identity cooperated with police working to track him down. That's got some in the online privacy community very nervous.
The federal indictment against Kretsinger charges that he used a proxy server site called Hidemyass.com to disguise his Internet protocol address. Very basically, a proxy server works as an intermediary stop for a signal between one computer and another. By transmitting data through the proxy, a hacker can hide his or her ISP from the target. But since the proxy server gets between the machines on either end of that exchange, it is in a position to know details about the hacker. And if somebody investigating a hacking job gets access to that server, it can reveal their identity. That's apparently what happened in the investigation into Kretsinger. The details of that search haven't been made public yet, but a post on Hidemyass's blog says the company cooperated with police investigating the LulzSec actions.
It first came to our attention when leaked IRC chat logs were released, in these logs participants discussed about various VPN services they use, and it became apparent that some members were using our service. No action was taken, after all there was no evidence to suggest wrongdoing and nothing to identify which accounts with us they were using. At a later date it came as no surprise to have received a court order asking for information relating to an account associated with some or all of the above cases. As stated in our terms of service and privacy policy our service is not to be used for illegal activity, and as a legitimate company we will cooperate with law enforcement if we receive a court order (equivalent of a subpoena in the US).
Normal businesses do indeed regularly obey court orders. But something doing business as Hidemyass.com might not be thought to be a normal business. The service claims that "the world-wide-web should be world-wide and not censored in anyway," after which it goes on to highlight its popularity among protesters in Egypt when the government blocked access to Twitter. As the group Privacy International noted on its blog, that sets them up as "supra-legal arbiters of morality" who can choose to cooperate with some government requests and not others. Sony and the federal government see LulzSec hackers as criminal miscreants, but LulzSec sees itself as a revolutionary group.
The notion that a proxy server could or would identify its users to investigators has privacy advocates crying foul. "HideMyAss.com is 'probably' run by the FBI. I know I would have put a number VPN and anonymizers out there hoping they would use them," wrote one (hopefully tongue-in-cheek) commenter on Ars Technica. Jason, who writes the blog Securityphile and doesn't publish his last name, tweeted, "hide my ass privacy service just became sell my ass to the feds." In the comments on the Privacy International blog post, PI technology adviser Eric King wrote: "There are many services who make far less grandiose claims about 'complete privacy' whose architecture inherently prevents them from being able to track or log users' activity. AirVPN and the Tor Project both offer similar services we'd happily recommend." AirVPN, for its part, issued a lengthy statement on Friday reassuring its customers of its own privacy safeguards and advising rattled users on how to take their own.
But for LulzSec members who have already used Hidemyass.com, the damage is done. Only one, named "neuron," mentions it in the leaked IRC logs, but since Kretsinger went by the handle "recursion" it's a safe assumption there's at least one other user out there who may be on the hook.

CHICAGO – Maybe there's something to these Strikeforce heavyweights after all.
Less than one month after former Strikeforce champ Alistair Overeem retired Brock Lesnar, UFC newcomer and former Strikeforce product Lavar Johnson notched an impressive first-round finish of the durable Joey Beltran.
The bout served as the evening's first of six UFC on FOX 2 preliminary card contests to air on FUEL TV and took place at Chicago's United Center.
Beltran started with intensity, refusing to touch gloves as the fight got underway. Shortly after, a "Big" Johnson right hand to the body saw Beltran crumple against the cage.
The durable Beltran battled back to his feet and eventually created space, but Johnson's 24-pound wight advantage was immediately evident. Beltran looked for a few takedowns, but Johnson simply shucked his opponent off and established a stiff jab for the better part of the round.
In the closing minute, Johnson unleashed his right hand behind the jab, and four huge uppercuts put Beltran out on his feet. It was only Johnson's punches that were keeping him upright, and when he stopped striking, Beltran fell to the canvas.
The impressive finish came at the 4:24 mark of the opening round.
With the win, Johnson (16-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) snaps a two-fight losing streak and hands Beltran his first career knockout loss.
"Beltran is the real deal," Johnson said. "He's as tough and powerful as everyone said he was. I landed some hard shots, and he stayed in there. I stayed calm and composed and picked my shots, and I knew one would eventually land where I needed it to. I knew I had him when I got him with that uppercut, and I just kept putting it on him until he dropped.
"This win shows that the Strikeforce heavyweights belong here. We're all on the same level, and now we're getting a chance to prove it. And the fans are the ones benefitting from it the most because they're getting to see action like this."
Beltran (13-7 MMA, 3-4 UFC) is now just 1-4 in his past five fights and may need to consider the 205-pound class if he hopes to remain in the octagon.
"When you fight the way I fight, this is bound to happen," Beltran said. "I've gained a lot of fans, but I run this risk of having this happen. I only know one way to fight, and I'll always fight this way.
"I had a great camp for this fight. No excuses for this. I felt great and only weighed around 230 (pounds) after eating. So, a drop to 205 is a realistic possibility for me. I'll get together with my team, and we'll figure out where to go from here."
Up-to-the-minute fight results include:
- Lavar Johnson def. Joey Beltran via KO (punches) – Round 1, 4:24
- Chris Camozzi def. Dustin Jacoby via submission (guillotine choke) – Round 3, 1:08

The "editorial staff" of the Liberal OC produced a surprisingly mature and balanced editorial yesterday entitled "Let's See What A Republican Majority Can Do With the Great Park." It was especially remarkable coming right on the heels of their typical piece of Agranista agitprop entitled, with characteristic LOC awkwardness, "Democrats Seek Rallying Cry in Irvine."
That's right, let's do see what the Republican Majority can do with the Great Park. And let's watch them closely (as we probably should have been watching before there was a Republican majority.) That's all we can do for now.
Because the one big lesson most of the County learned this week – who knew? – was that this was never an "Orange County Great Park" in the first place, despite its name and despite the fact that we county voters approved it back in the 90s:
- Nearly all the land belongs to the city of Irvine – a fact for which Supervisor Todd Spitzer takes credit and blame;
- Every employee and dollar spent, as Councilman Lalloway won't fail to remind you, is an Irvine employee and dollar;
- And, thanks to Mr. Agran's *cough* unswerving faith in himself, every decision made regarding the Park, for many years now, has NOT been made by the (now-disbanded) nine-member Board, but by the Irvine City Council (which Larry may well have thought he would control in perpetuity.)
Who knew?
Dr. No at the Helm
The pain. The pain of sitting through the interminable droning of a meeting led by Irvine's new Mayor Dr. Steven Choi. Especially the first forty minutes or so of his proclamation of Korean-American Day. Any swelling of ethnic pride was undetectable behind the Mayor's monotone voice and blank countenance, as 30+ local Korean-American elected officials and public servants stood there dutifully, stoically, getting honored. If it was worth it for anything, it was for watching the irrepressible and dapper Assistant DA Susan Kang Schroeder fidgeting and rolling her eyes through the endless proceedings.
Next, "100 Black Men in Orange County" livened things up briefly with their MLK Day proclamation, and then it was time for the newly rejiggered council to finally begin hashing out all their grievances – beginning with the Mayor's committee assignments.
The two brainy liberals, Krom and Agran, seated on the dais at "Do I have to separate you two" extremes, had just discovered to their chagrin that they'd been taken off the committees they loved and had been busily involved with, and stuck into committees that NOBODY wants, like the hated Vector Control Board up in godforsaken Garden Grove. Clearly, with electoral tables turned, the Republican majority was visiting upon them just the sort of indignities the Republicans used to suffer.
(At one point Mayor Choi pointed out "I had to do Vector Control for three years under Mayor Kang" to which Krom quipped, "And during those three years I had absolutely no issues with Vectors, which reflects very well on your work there!" A rare light moment.)
The liberals were also put out at having to learn their committee assignments by reading the agenda, not having been extended the courtesy of a meeting with the Mayor to even ascertain their time availability. Choi and Lalloway were quick to respond that that's the way they'd been treated under the previous majority. Larry Agran bristled and insisted that when HE was mayor he ALWAYS met one-on-one with each member regarding committees. Gradually it became clear that it was only under the last mayor – Sukhee Kang, an Agran-allied Democrat – that such niceties were dropped and Republicans were flung willy-nilly into the vector. Finally Larry went so far as to say, "Well, if Mayor Kang did that, SHAME ON HIM!" That's right – it was Korean-on-Korean rudeness, something we round-eyes cannot presume to fathom or judge. And fancy that – apparently Agran's mayorship was in some respects a Shangrila of comity, at least in comparison to what's come since.
But more problematic than Mayor Choi's committee assignments were his planned Committee Decimations: As some sort of fire-ready-aim plan to "streamline" Irvine's government he had proposed to 1) abolish the "Greenlight Environmental Committee" and 2) boot all the public volunteers off of a popular Education Committee. Krom, Agran, various distressed committee members and members of the public AND staff tried for ninety minutes to talk sense into the grim Mayor – these committees did invaluable work, and they did it at no expense to the city. And he just kept repeating, at first like a robot and later like a deer in headlights, the words "efficiency" and "streamline."
Eventually Beth Krom, in one of her rants, observed that "If 'streamline' were a drinking game word, we'd all be on the floor by now." Diamond, who must be a less close observer of council meetings and blog comment threads than I, recently penned the sentence, "There's no love lost between Agran (and to a lesser extent Krom) and the Council conservatives." To a lesser extent? NOBODY pisses off the political foes of the Agranistas more than Beth Krom. She is strident, theatrical, and loves to insult her opponents (as Christina Shea pointedly complained.) She can also be really fucking funny.
And Jeffrey Lalloway, with his Gandolfini grin, certainly at least APPEARS to be Mayor Choi's brain. Maybe the Mayor thinks brilliantly in Korean, but he seemed clueless and paralyzed during this committees controversy, seeming to take in no new information, and repeating the same meaningless lines, while occasionally Lalloway whispered in his ear. I'd been told, by a Democrat, that these two are enemies, since Lalloway is "Don Wagner's boy" and Wagner beat Choi for Assembly back in 2010. But then I was told, by someone who would know better, that that's all in the past, that Lalloway busted his ass to get Choi in the Mayorship, and that they're now tight as ticks. Which comports with what I observe.
At long last it was Christina Shea, she of the Olive Oyl eyes, who, weary of the impasse, offered a compromise forward. This might be something we see in the future.
So it was that, after all the squabbling, Mayor Choi ended up with only a small fraction of the dubious "efficiencies" he craved – the Education Committee was left as is, and the Environmental Committee's meetings were merely reduced from bimonthly to quarterly. Pretty nearly a faceplant for Dr. Choi in the first two hours of his Mayorship. But on the other hand he did show that he can listen, even if it takes a while.
By now it was two hours into the meeting,
Beth's flying monkeys my Democrat friends were growing restive, and it was finally time to address the burning issue of the Great Park.
Coup? What Coup?
After the Mayor's lengthy recitation of his reasons for dissolving the (merely advisory) Great Park Board, Larry Agran was allowed five minutes, which became fifteen minutes, to defend the progress made thus far. He did so using a truckload of boxes, documents and maps, as well as with a slideshow showing beautiful scenes of the bits of the Great Park that have been accomplished. This impressed those who wanted to be impressed, and impressed others not so much.
I was more impressed with the business plan which he keeps in his pocket everywhere he goes. The first item on that plan is "We will not spend money that we don't have." Of how many large public projects can that be said? We all know that the Park's original plans were hit by a trifecta of economic body blows – the housing crash, the recession, and the abolition of redevelopment agencies. And this was always intended to be a long-term project, a couple decades long. So maybe folks should be more patient with the progress made. Or maybe not. I cannot say.
The millions of dollars in no-bid consultant contracts is another story, and I look forward to the results of the forensic audit – what DID Forde and Mollrich do for all that money? One bizarre spectacle this week has been to see all my Democrat, Agran-apologist friends theorizing, "They may have been secretly doing this great thing, they may have been secretly doing that great thing." Don't they keenly feel the absurdity of their position? Why should any of us – and why should the Republican majority – have to GUESS what the firm was doing? How does a PUBLICIST working for a PUBLIC PROJECT not PUBLICIZE that to the heavens?
The Fury of Spitzer
In attendance, and sitting restlessly in the front row, was the area's new (and former) County Supervisor Todd Spitzer. Sworn in only the day before, the hyperkinetic born-again had hit the ground running on Monday with a press conference making it clear that he aspires literally to be SuperVisor. And ONE of the County's many intractable problems which he resolved to take firmly in hand was the Great Park, partly because he felt a responsibility for putting it in Irvine's hands rather than the County's. And from his perch that day he had issued an ultimatum to the Council – either make serious progress on the Park THIS YEAR, or Todd Spitzer will put before OC voters the question of whether the County should take it back from Irvine. (Actually it's not clear if that's legally possible.)
Agran, during his presentation, reacted with defiance to that threat (even though the threat was mainly aimed at the Republican majority.) Waving the flag of Irvine pride, he reminded his audience of all the County's grievous offenses against Irvine – the attempt to build an airport at El Toro, the attempt to extend a jail right up to Irvine's borders, and more, I forget.
And Spitzer took THAT personally. The first public speaker, he strode to the microphone and THUNDERED at the whole Council for their childish bickering, and at Agran in particular for his attacks on the County (which Spitzer took as attacks on Spitzer.) I'M THE ONE, he declaimed, who SAVED Irvine from the airport, I'M THE ONE, he cried out, who turned the Marine base over to Irvine. He thundered at Larry for the lack of progress on the Park! He thundered at Larry for the no-bid contracts! Then he said, "I'm upset because you attacked me. Now I'm going to ratchet it down." And next, demonstrating the emotional agility gleaned from both Christianity and Yoga, he dropped his voice an octave and calmly assured the whole Council that that all his resources as Supervisor would be at their disposal as they strove to "move forward" with Irvine's Great Park, and wished all five of them well.
At this point I had to leave, so I missed all the keening of
Beth's flying monkeys my Democrat friends. But as I understand, the votes on the Park went as foreordained – there will be a forensic audit (that was unanimous); the current consultants' contracts are terminated; and the Great Park Board is now the Irvine City Council, no more and no less.
So What Can Go Wrong Now?
Well… How do Republicans usually fuck up?
It seems unlikely after all the hooplah that they'll again offer no-bid contracts, to their own cronies. But how are they going to continue to "make progress," and better, quicker progress, with the Park? One tidbit that The Voice of OC's Norberto got on video, but hasn't made it into print yet, is Lalloway's answer: "public-private partnerships … an awful lot of land out there and an awful lot of people who want to build recreational facilities."
[note on inspecting 2023: this video has disappeared, sorry]
That could mean many things, but I don't really like the sound of it, do you? "An awful lot of land." "Awful." Land that they could do stuff with. Profitable stuff. "Public-private partnerships." What could THAT mean?
Irvine residents – since this IS YOUR Park – you'd better keep a close eye on these characters this year. If they go too far, Lalloway will have to be defeated in '14.
But, how much damage can they do – how much irreversible damage can they do, if damage is what they do – in two years? If the irreversible damage is fast-tracked, then maybe you lot need to gear up to Recall Mayor Choi. THIS year. I do not get the feeling he will be a very popular Mayor.
Nelson, over and out.

The 2011-2012 ski season in Telluride is off to a great start, as you can see from this Facebook album from the Telluride Tourism Board.
With the snow has come a bevy of fresh accolades for Telluride, both the town and the mountain. The town nearly always ranks as the most beautiful in ski country, a position conferred on Telluride once again, this time by Sunset Travel magazine.
Meanwhile, Forbes named Telluride the third-best ski resort in the United States. After gushing about the historic main street framed by the towering San Juans, the author writes of the skiing: "Telluride's venerable runs leading toward old town remain some of the most charming in North America: the fall lines are true, the peaks overhead are 14,000-footers and the town below is a gem. But it's the new terrain, opened during the last several years, that elevates Telluride to a true skier's mountain. The mountain opened its backside, Revelation Bowl, a classic and continuous Western fall line, in 2008. Better lift access was also provided to the shoulders of Palmyra peak, which offers a bevy of expert chutes, nooks and steeps."
Ski Magazine also got in on the act, naming Telluride the No. 1 "most charming" resort in America, as well listing it in its top 10 resorts for nightlife and après-ski.
Also check out Telluride Magazine, which featured Camel's Garden reservations Manager Mike Munno on the cover of its last issue.
What makes Telluride so special, and what's the best way to enjoy it? Simply, it's the combination of having a lively, authentic, historic town perfectly integrated with a world-class ski area and boundless wilderness. It's all right there, no car needed, no trudging through a plastic, per-fabricated base area. It's a European experience in the Rockies.
And we've got the best perch in the whole place! The Camel's Garden Hotel is just feet from the Oak Street Lift and the Gondola, with some of Telluride's best restaurants right next door. We have the best location in town, on the mountain yet just two blocks from Main Street. Check out some of our winter specials.

Ready, Get Set, Heat Water!
According to E Source in Boulder, Colo., optimal setpoint for residential water heaters is 111deg.F. Allowing for heat loss through pipes and an appropriate margin of error due to inaccurate aquastats prevalent in most water heaters, a setpoint of 111deg.F will provide an adequate temperature for most household tasks and, at the same time, conserve energy by reducing standby losses experienced with higher settings. The recommendation comes from Optimal Setpoints in The State of the Art:Water Heating, which is part of E Source's comprehensive State of the Art Technology Atlas Series, formerly published as Rocky Mountain Institute's COMPETITEK reports.
In addition to providing the ASHRAE-recommended temperature of 105deg.F for baths and showers, a lower setpoint of about 115deg.F or slightly lower--well below the manufacturers' setpoints--allows unchanged, and even improved dishwashing through the use to today's enzymatic detergents and booster heaters. E Source notes that the average Veterans Administration hospital laundry uses a maximum of 110deg.F water, and it has found 72deg.F provides sufficient disinfection, whiteness, and stain removal of laundry.
For those situations that may warrant a higher setpoint temperature, such as households with occupants at risk of Legionella infection, the optimal setpoint should be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking all options into consideration.
An important proviso: the 111deg.F setpoint is optimal if there are minimal heat losses through pipes, pipe runs are insulated and relatively short, and the heater is a state-of-the-art appliance with a new aquastat with only +/-2deg.F accuracy swing. Otherwise, co-author Brady Bancroft recommends a setpoint of 120deg.F: At 120deg.F, the variables allow a temperature swing of 10deg.F, which allows 100deg.F at the lowest point. This will cover, for example, the optimal user temperature for showers of 105deg.F.

U S v. BACA(1902)
This was a petition to the court of private land claims by Margarito Baca for the confirmation to him, and to all other persons land in Valencia county, in New Mexico, known as the San Jose del Encinal [184 U.S. 653, 654] tract, alleged to have been granted to Baltazar Baca and his two sons in 1768 by the Spanish governor and captain general of New Mexico.
The petition prayed the court to take and exercise jurisdiction of the petition; to hear and determine all questions relative to the tract, its extent, proper location, and boundaries, and whether, when properly located, it would in any manner conflict with any neighboring property to which there was superior title; to take cognizance of all other matters connected therewith fit and proper to be heard and determined; and by final decree to settle and determine the questions of the proper location of the tract, the validity of the title, and the boundaries thereof; to finally determine and forever set at rest all other questions properly arising between the petitioner and his co-owners and the United States; to confirm the title of the petitioner and his co-owners to them in fee simple; and for further relief.
The United States, by an amended answer filed by leave of court, alleged, among other things, that the tract demanded lay wholly within the lands granted and confirmed by Congress to the town of Cebolleta, reported as number 30, and to the pueblo of Laguna, reported as number 46, by the acts of June 21, 1860, chap. 167 (12 Stat. at L. 71), and March 3, 1869, chap. 152 (15 Stat. at L. 454), respectively; and that, the right to this tract having been thus lawfully acted upon and decided by Congress, the court of private land claims had no jurisdiction to allow the claim of the petitioner.
The court of private land claims, upon hearing and consideration, suspended proceedings until after the decision of this court in United States v. Conway, 175 U.S. 60 , 44 L. ed. 72, 20 Sup. Ct. Rep. 13, and then entered the following decree:
The United States appealed to this court.
Mr. Matthew G. Reynolds and Solicitor General Richards for appellant.
Mr. B. S. Rodey for appellee.
Mr. Justice Gray, after stating the case as above, delivered the opinion of the court:
The duty of securing private rights in lands within the territory ceded by Mexico to the United States by the treaties of 1848 and 1853 ( whether complete and absolute titles or merely equitable interests needing some further act of the government to perfect the legal title), and of fulfilling the obligations imposed upon the United States by the treaties, belonged to the political department of the government, and might either be discharged by Congress itself, or be delegated by Congress to a strictly judicial tribunal or to a board of commissioners. [184 U.S. 653, 657] Ainsa v. New Mexico & A. R. Co. 175 U.S. 76, 79 , 44 S. L. ed. 78, 80, 20 Sup. Ct. Rep. 28, and cases there cited.
The record in this case shows that the land demanded under a grant from the Spanish authorities in 1768 had been included in grants confirmed by acts of Congress in 1860 and 1869, and in patents issued accordingly by the proper authorities of the United States; and that the court of private land claims for that reason held that it was without jurisdiction to decree and confirm the land to the petitioners, or to order a survey thereof for that purpose, and yet undertook to adjudge that a complete, valid, and perfect title in fee simple had vested by the Spanish grant in the grantees, and remained in them and their successors to the present time.
This action of the court of private land claims is sought to be justified by the following provisions of the act of Congress of March 3, 1891, chap. 539, creating that court. 26 Stat. at L. 854.
By 1 'said court shall have and exercise jurisdiction in the hearing and decision of private land claims, according to the provisions of this act.'
By 6 any person or corporation claiming lands within the limits of the territory acquired by the United States from the Republic of New Mexico, and since within the territories of New Mexico, Arizona, or Utah, or the states of Nevada, Colorado, or Wyoming, by virtue of such a Spanish or Mexican grant as the United States are bound by the treaties of cession to recognize and confirm, 'which at the date of the passage of this act have not been confirmed by act of Congress, or otherwise finally decided upon by lawful authority, and which are not already complete and perfect,' to present a petition stating his case and praying that the validity of the title or claim may be inquired into and decided. 'And the said court is hereby authorized and required to take and exercise jurisdiction of all cases or claims presented by petition in conformity with the provisions of this act, and to hear and determine the same, as in this act provided, on the petition and proofs in case no answer or answers be filed after due notice, or on the petition and the answer or answers of any person or persons interested in preventing any claim from being established, and the answer of [184 U.S. 653, 658] the attorney for the United States where he may have filed an answer, and such testimony and proofs as may be taken;' and to 'render a final decree according to the provisions of this act.'
By 7 'the said court shall have full power and authority to hear and determine all questions arising in cases before it, relative to the title to the land the subject of such case, the extent, location, and boundaries thereof, and other matters connected therewith fit and proper to be heard and determined, and by a final decree to settle and determine the question of the validity of the title and the boundaries of the grant or claim presented for adjudication, according to the law of nations,' the stipulations of the treaties of 1848 and 1853, 'and the laws and ordinances of the government from which it is alleged to have been derived, and all other questions properly arising between the claimants or other parties in the case and the United States, which decree shall in all cases refer to the treaty, law, or ordinance under which such claim is confirmed or rejected.'
By 8 'any person or corporation claiming lands in any of the states or territories mentioned in this act under a title derived from the Spanish or Mexican government, that was complete and perfect at the date when the United States acquired sovereignty therein, shall have the right ( but shall not be bound) to apply to said court in the manner in this act provided for other cases for a confirmation of such title; and on such application said court shall proceed to hear, try, and determine the validity of the same and the right of the claimant thereto, its extent, location, and boundaries, in the same manner and with the same powers as in other eases in this act mentioned. If in any such case a title so claimed to be perfect shall be established and confirmed, such confirmation shall be for so much land only as such perfect title shall be found to cover, always excepting any part of such land that shall have been disposed of by the United States, and always subject to and not to affect any conflicting private interests, rights, or claims held or claimed adversely to any such claim or title, or adversely to the holder of any such claim or title. And no confirmation of claims or titles in this section mentioned shall have any effect [184 U.S. 653, 659] other or further than as a release of all claim of title by the United States; and no private right of any person as between himself and other claimants or persons, in respect of any such lands, shall be in any manner affected thereby.'
But all the powers so conferred upon the court of private land claims are subject to and controlled by 13, which enacts that 'all the foregoing proceedings and rights shall be conducted and decided subject to the following provisions, as well as to the other provisions of this act, namely.' Then follow several provisions, the fourth of which is: 'No claim shall be allowed for any land, the right to which has hitherto been lawfully acted upon and decided by Congress, or under its authority.'
The language of this provision appears to us too clear to be misunderstood or evaded. The manifest intent of Congress appears to have been that with any land, of the right to which Congress, in the exercise of its lawful discretion, had itself assumed the decision, the court of private land claims should have nothing to do. The whole jurisdiction conferred upon that court is to confirm or reject claims presented to it, coming within the act. All the powers conferred upon it are incident to the exercise of that jurisdiction. When it has no jurisdiction to confirm or reject, it has no authority to inquire into or pass upon the case, beyond the decision of the question of jurisdiction. The peremptory declaration of Congress, that 'no claim shall be allowed for any land, the right to which has hitherto been lawfully acted upon and decided by Congress,' necessarily prohibits the court from passing upon the merits of any such claim.
In United States v. Conway, 175 U.S. 60 , 44 L. ed. 72, 20 Sup. Ct. Rep. 13, it was accordingly declared by this court that the court of private land claims had no authority to confirm such a claim; and it necessarily follows that it has no authority to express any opinion upon the merits of it, when the right to all the land claimed has already been decided by Congress. Las Animas Land Grant Co. v. United States, 179 U.S. 201 , 45 L. ed. 153, 21 Sup. Ct. Rep. 92. Confusion rather than certainty would result from allowing the expression of an opinion to stand, which could not be made the basis of any effectual judgment. [184 U.S. 653, 660] The court of private land claims having discovered that by the express prohibition of Congress it was without jurisdiction to decree and confirm the land to the petitioner, the merits of the case cannot be decided, either by that court, or by this court on appeal; and the decree below, which undertook to pass upon the merits, must therefore be reversed, and the case remanded with directions to dismiss the petition for want of jurisdiction, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to assert his title in any court of competent authority. United States v. Roselius, 15 How. 36, 38, 14 L. ed. 590.
Decree reversed accordingly.

Only one of my spiritual directors ever suggested I do a daily examen. With such a rousing endorsement, I never found my way into the practice. Or the practice never found its way to me.
In my recent reading on Ignatian spirituality, I'm finding it comes up everywhere. And amazingly enough, it seems the practice has found me.
The Jesuits practice it twice a day. My deacon friend recommended once before bed, but I fall asleep too easily that time of day. And like nearly all spiritual disciplines, most people urge that specific time every day to do it. But an amazing thing has happened. I've been practicing the past two weeks now, but at different times during the day, and sometimes even more than twice. I've found that the invitation to reflect has been happening at the oddest hours. Unless I'm deeper in resistance than I think (which is always a possibility) once, twice, or three times a day I have an opportunity to look backward and pray. And it seems to work on something like this:
- Exit the day and get ready.
- The simplest prayer I can muster along the lines of "God, let me see." The fewer words the better.
- I imagine a timeline and scan the events of the last several hours, from where I left off last time.
- My attention is drawn to one or two times, and I spend more time there pondering if my behavior was "of Christ/not of Christ."
- Silent reflection.
- Gratitude.
Of course, as I write this out, it occurs to me I've forgotten when my last examen was yesterday. Usually I've been good about putting up signposts to recall. Probably tells me it's time to do another examen. So if you'll excuse me …

Vanilla rice pudding
Makes 4 servings
No one ever grows tired of rice pudding, the classic comfort food from childhood days. Dress it up for grown-ups by substituting almond extract for the vanilla extract. I like to serve this wholesome dessert topped with slices of juicy fresh peaches.
For more speedy dessert recipes, see my recently published cookbook, The Complete 15-Minute Gourmet: Creative Cuisine Made Fast and Fresh.
1 ½ cups cooked white rice (cook until soft rather than firm, cool before using)
1 ¼ cups half-and-half
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon salted butter
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Combine the rice, half-and-half and sugar in a medium nonstick saucepan; bring just to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low; cover and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes or until the cream is partially absorbed into the rice but the mixture is still very creamy.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and a scant pinch of salt.
Transfer to small dessert bowls and serve warm. Or when the pudding is cool, cover the dishes with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to serve later the same day.

Glossary: M
Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2)
BBAR coating with reflection minimized at one specified wavelength, typically 550nm. Retains good transmission throughout visible into the NIR.
Magneto-Rheological Finishing (MRF)
Deterministic process using a precise interferometrically documented sub aperture tool to correct waveform errors by selectively removing material under a controlled and predicted process. It provides high performance finishing in less time than standard polishing techniques because of its precise control of the removal location and high removal rate.
Optical and imaging magnification is a ratio of image angular subtense to object angular subtense. Electronic, or linear, magnification is the ratio of monitor size to sensor size. For example, 13" monitors are between 38 and 39 times as large as ½" size format sensor cameras when comparing horizontal, vertical, or diagonal measures.
See also Sensing Area , Doubler Tube , Parfocality , Telecentric Lens , Field of View (FOV) , Distortion
Marginal Ray
In geometric optics, the marginal ray of an optical system determines the paraxial image location, and hits the edge of all pupils in the optical system. Along with the chief ray, it describes the entire paraxial image.
See also Paraxial Rays , Chief Ray
Meniscus Lens
A type of singlet lens with one convex (outwardly curved) surface and the other concave (inwardly curved). It has a positive focal length. Shows less aberrations compared to a plano-convex lens when used for infinite/finite conjugate imaging.
See also Singlet Lens , Infinite/Finite Conjugate
A technique for producing micron-size structures on surfaces by using short-wavelength light or electron beams.
Mid-Spatial Frequency (MSF) Errors
Deviations in the surface form of an optical surface relative to its ideal shape at higher spatial frequencies than Zernike polynomial aberrations but lower frequencies than surface roughness. The mid-spatial frequency range is defined somewhat ambiguously as the region which causes optical blur or image degradation in optical systems. These errors must be controlled for during optical manufacturing, particularly when fabricating aspheric lenses.
Unit of measurement equal to 10-3 inches (0.001") or 0.0254 mm.
Minimum Sensitivity
The minimum level of illumination required to produce a full video signal from a camera, expressed as luminous flux per unit area (lux or footcandles) through a specified imaging lens.
See also Lux , Luminous Flux , Footcandle
Modulation Bandwidth
The pulse bandwidth of a modulatable laser.
See also Laser
Modulation Frequency
Rate at which optical radiation or a signal is varied through the use of a mechanical or electronic chopper, also called chopping frequency.
Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)
A measure of contrast as a function of spatial frequency. Defined as 100% at zero-frequency, MTF continuously declines with increasing spatial frequency to zero contrast at a theoretical maximum resolution frequency defined by the diffraction limit of the optical system.
See also Diffraction Limit , Contrast , Resolution
Moment Load
The forces that are offset (cantilevered) from the bearing centers of mechanical components producing uneven loading on the bearings. Uneven loading means that some bearings are supporting more of the load than others. Moment forces are categorized by the direction in which they act: pitch, roll or yaw. When loading results in moments acting in only one of the moment directions, it is called a single direction moment. If it is in more than one direction, it is referred to as compound moment loading.
See also Normal Load Capacity , Yaw , Roll , Pitch
Refers to one specific wavelength or color.
See also Polychromatic
Monochrome Sensor
A camera sensor that outputs grayscale images. It is ideal for machine vision applications due to the absence of Bayer pattern color filters which reduce sensitivity and spatial resolution.
See also Color Sensor

Our strategy
Conscious growth
As our brand grows, we are faced with a challenge: the more we produce, the greater our impact is on the environment. We strive to reduce our overall impact, regardless of the number of products we sell.
One place - minimum emmissions
We use centralized business system. That means we design, manufacture, package and ship in one building(Poland). No unneccessary transport between places saves HUGE amount of CO2 emmisions. We are very proud of that.
Ethically & with purpose
Countering fast, cheap fashion we design our clothes to last. Not only that, but we produce on demand and that saves a lot of our planet's precious resources. As much, as we love our planet we do not forget about people. We do not source our manufacturing to China for cheap and non-ethical labour.
