Checking out the forums this morning, I was a bit surprised to find some brand new pictures of a BlackBerry 10 L-Series Evalution unit just hanging out. The photos were posted up by forums member BBercat and show off the BlackBerry 10 device from a few different angles next to a Bold 9700. There's really nothing that we haven't seen before in the photos, but it's still great to get a fresh look at the device every now and then. With a global BlackBerry 10 event scheduled for the end of January, we thankfully don't have that much longer to wait to get our hands on one of these. Check out all the images in the gallery then hop into the forums for more discussion.

They are going paperless...
...in Guam.
Labels: paperless school
Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)
TeachPaperless was noted as a Twitterer worth ReTweeting by Education Week's Digital Education blog. Also in Ed Week: "Shelly Blake-Plock has had some really intriguing posts already this year and I'm already behind. Considering he published 639 entries on his TeachPaperless blog in 2009 it's going to be hard to keep up, but well worth the try."
"When I originally contacted Shelley last week to inquire as to whether or not he would be willing to talk to my staff, he jumped right in, and he didn't disappoint. What impressed me most about him as I listened to him describe his practice was his clear vision of what it meant for his students to function in a classroom that he designed: it was about them learning. He truly designed the environment with their learning–their unbridled learning–in mind. His decision was not a secretarial one, but rather came from a desire to push students to take control of information gathering, processing, and creating." – Chalkdust 101
Shelly's @TeachPaperless feed was named as one of the 'Twitters to Follow' by the Lincoln Center Institute.
Shelly was awarded a press pass to NECC 2009 from ISTE for his post:What Does Internet Blocking Suggest to Students?
TeachPaperless was named one of the 'Top 25 Blogs for Educators' byWorld Wide Learn.
"I think you have some great ideas for teachers, and as we do professional development around the state of Maryland, we will point teachers to your blog." Debbie Vickers of Thinkport.org a partnership between Maryland Public Television and Johns Hopkins University's Center for Technology in Education
Shelly was named a 'Featured Author' for his TeachPaperless comic series at Pixton. com.
"The invention of the computer promised to lead us to a paperless society but has failed to deliver on that promise... until now, perhaps?" TeachPaperless was featured by Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning as an Everyday Innovation

Guns without roses
Unlike many who recently have joined the debate about gun rights, I have a long history with guns, which I proffer only in the interest of pre-empting the "elitist, liberal, swine, prostitute, blahblahblah" charge.
I grew up in a home with guns, lots of them, and was taught early how to shoot, care for firearms and treat them respectfully. My father's rules were simple: Never point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them; if you intend to shoot, aim to kill.
Dear ol' dad was a law-and-order guy - a lawyer, judge and World War II veteran who did everything by the book - except when it came to guns. Most memorable among his many lectures was a confidence: "There is only one law in the land that I would break," he told me. "I will never register my guns."
I suppose if he hadn't also opposed bumper stickers, he might have attached the one about "cold dead fingers" to his fender. He also might have liked a slogan I read recently: "With guns, we are citizens; without them, we are subjects."
By today's standards my father would be considered a gun nut, but his sentiments were understandable in the context of his time. Like others of his generation, he had witnessed Germany's disarming of its citizenry and the consequences thereafter. Thus, the slippery slope of which gun right's advocates speak is not without precedent or reason.
But the history of gun control laws is not without contradictions and ironies that belie the current insistence that guns-without-controls is the ipso facto of originalist America. In fact, the federal government of our Founders made gun ownership mandatory for white males, while denying others - slaves and later freedmen - the privilege.
Today, the most vociferous defenders of gun rights tend to be white, rural males who oppose any regulation. But theirs was once the ardently held position of radical African-Americans. Notably, in the 1960s, Black Panthers Bobby Seale and Huey Newton toted guns wherever they went to make a point: Blacks needed guns to protect themselves in a country that wasn't quite ready to enforce civil rights.
In one remarkable incident in May 1967, as recounted in The Atlantic by UCLA law professor Adam Winkler, 24 men and six women, all armed, ascended the California capitol steps, read a proclamation about gun rights and proceeded inside - with their guns, which was legal at the time.
Needless to say, conservatives, including then-Gov. Ronald Reagan, were suddenly very, very interested in gun control. That afternoon, Reagan told reporters there was "no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons."
The degree of one's allegiance to principle apparently depends mainly on who is holding the gun.
While black activists were adamant about their right to protect themselves, the National Rifle Association wasn't much interested in the constitutional question until the mid-'70s when an organizational split produced a new leader, Harlon Carter, who was dedicated to advocacy and determined to dig a deep line in the Beltway sand.
The Second Amendment debate about what the Founders intended was clarified in 2008 when the U.S. Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller determined that the right of the people to keep and bear arms included individuals, not just a "well-regulated militia." However, as Winkler pointed out, Justice Antonin Scalia's opinion left wiggle room for exceptions, including prohibitions related to felons and the mentally ill. Scalia was not casting doubt, the justice wrote, on "laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms."
This still leaves open the loophole of private sales that do not require background checks, which President Obama wants to close. We will hear more about this in coming weeks, but the call meanwhile to ban assault weapons or limit magazines in the wake of the horrific mass murder of children and others at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut is hardly draconian. It won't solve the problem of mentally disturbed people exacting weird justice from innocents, but it might limit the toll. Having to stop one's rampage to reload rather breaks the spell, or so one would imagine.
One also imagines that the old Reagan would say there's no reason a citizen needs an assault weapon or a magazine that can destroy dozens of people in minutes. He would certainly be correct and, in a sane world, possibly even electable.

Magi beat Bulldogs
The Colon boy's basketball team spoiled senior night in Centreville Tuesday.
In a non-league game between the two squads, Colon beat the Bulldogs 66-57.
A big second quarter by the Magi proved to be a big difference in the game. Centreville had led 19-16 after one quarter of action but a 22-9 advantage for Colon in the second gave the Magi the lead at halftime, 38-28.
The Magi held a small 18-15 advantage in the third as well, building their lead to 56-43 heading into the final quarter, where Centreville out-scored Colon 14-10.
Centreville was led in scoring by Matt Clementz' 18 points and six steals while Jon Peckinpaugh added 15 points and eight rebounds. Eli Schwartz totaled 11 points, Dylan Glass had four points while Kal Ludwig had three points.
Adding two points each was Chris Chupp, Kellen Kirkham and Trevor Leist.
Colon's Arron Balizet led al scorers with 24 points, eight assists and four steals.
Tossing in 20 points was Brad Brittingham. Ryan Balizet had six points while Tyler Schipper and Chase Morris both had four points. Chipping in two points each were Brandon Broker, Brad Yoder, Mike Flick and Anthony Saxman.
BC Central 57, Sturgis 40
Sturgis fell behind early and never recovered in the road loss to the Bearcats.
"We dug ourselves to big of a hole early," Sturgis coach Keith Kurowski said. "It was 20 points at halftime. We did not match up well with them tonight."
Central grabbed a 16-6 edge after one quarter and increased the margin to 31-11 at the break.
"They shot as well as I've seen any team all year," Kurowski said. "They had a solid tempo and worked the ball offensively. You cannot afford many mistakes against them on the defensive end."
Sturgis had a hard time cracking the Bearcats defense.
"Defensively, they play as well or better than any team in our conference," Kurowski said. "We went ice cold from the outside. They did a good job of taking away our post play and dared us to shoot from the outside."
The Trojans played better in the second half.
"I'm proud of the way we battled in the second half," Kurowski said. "It was a great effort in the second half."
The Trojans closed the gap to 47-29 after three quarters.
Chance Stewart topped the Trojans with 19 points, Jalen Cox tossed in nine, Jack Scheske finished with four, Tyler Bennett added three, Patrick Haas and Eduardo Portillo each had two and Tyler Ater had a free throw.
Parchment 51, Constantine 45
Constantine's boy's basketball team dropped a 51-45 decision to Parchment on Tuesday.
The Falcons led 12-10 early but Parchment stormed back to lead 29-21 at halftime.
Justin Bontrager led with 10 points while Payton White added nine points and 10 rebounds.
Perry White chipped in with eight, Mike Harris had six, Cody Ley added five, Bruce Heslet chipped in with four and Joey Steiner had three points.
Climax-Scotts 71, Burr Oak 39
The Burr Oak boy's basketball team fell to No. 1 Climax-Scotts 71-39 on Tuesday night.
"We had too many turnovers tonight and gave up too many offensive rebounds," Burr Oak coach Dave Brackett said. "You can't have that many mistakes against a good team."
Christian Eckert led Burr Oak with 14 points while James Saylor added eight points and five rebounds. Chantz Owens tossed in six points.
Adding four points was Kenny Walston while Alex Munoz added three points and four rebounds. Justin Mullins had three points and Cole Summey connected on a free throw.

A filmmaker is planning to spend a year living an open source life—with everything from his clothes to his toilet paper strictly adhering to the philosophy.
Sam Muirhead, a New Zealander living in Berlin, will begin his challenge on August 1, 2012 and is raising money on crowdfunding site IndieGoGo to support the ambitious project. Muirhead, who admits he cannot code or solder and is permanently synced to his Mac, will need all the help he can get to answer some of his most pressing open source related questions: "Can I 3D print jeans, can robots cook me breakfast?"
The enthusiasm he has for spreading the word and educating the public on how to translate the philosophy to everyday life looks as though it will fuel him for the full year, however.
"I'll be testing just how far the open source idea can go in real life," he says with palpable excitement on his promotional video, while fixing a penguin sticker over his MacBook's Apple symbol. "I'm excited about exploring the different sides of open source with humor, clarity, and critical thinking, as I untangle myself from a world of consumerism and go from an open source outsider to a total DIYer and Linux nerd."
Muirhead, who has so far raised $2,650 of the target $20,000 with 27 days to go, says he wants to engross himself in the crowd sourcing philosophy and track down alternatives to daily, unconstructive consumerism.
Along the way, he hopes to highlight issues surrounding the time-wasting, unproductive, and anti-innovation copyright issues facing technology today.
"Every week you see Apple, Samsung, and Google throwing million-dollar lawsuits at each other, when technologically they all have shared goals," he told New Zealand News. "Whereas in the open source community there's the adage that competitors stand on each others' shoulders, not on each others' toes."
He will be forgoing Apple's Final Cut Pro software for Lightworks or Novacut to edit the weekly films that will appear on his blog diary, resort to "regular writing" at times, and turn to local hacker community c-base to help him develop a camera of sufficient quality using open source technology. While documenting his project is a great way of getting the word out, it also works to show how open source itself is an ideal format for storytelling—a constant flow of information being updated, rather than perfected over a year spent generating a feature-length film, is a great way to share ideas and experiences as they happen.
Picturing an entire life's worth of "stuff," it almost seems an impossibility that Muirhead can succeed in a total open source life. In his promotional video he uses clothing as an example: he is either going to have to find companies selling open source clothing, or make his own from open source patterns—cut to Muirhead being filmed following a Berlin hipster down the street in toga and flip flops.
"It'll be fun," says the quite possibly masochistic Muirhead. "But they'll be plenty of challenges—I must say I'm not looking forward to open source toilet paper."
Working with the Berliner "producers, hackers, makers, designers, dreamers, engineers, scientists, and artists" who will hopefully answer his call, he will create his own alternative products by engaging in collaborative community projects. The final plans, codes, or diagrams will be published on his blog so that the public can replicate or amend his creations. They will eventually be able to amend the designs live on his site. He will also be turning to open source education to teach himself a thing or two about coding and soldering.
As well as bringing together the Berliner community—which already has the MakerLab promoting innovation, local urban farms sharing in the philosophy, and its very own open source political Pirate Party—to aid him in the challenge, generate enthusiasm for open sourcing, and inspire new ideas, the collaborations will also help Muirhead avoid a year's worth of diary videos depicting him "alone on my coach."
Along the way the public will be able to request help for their own open source projects, and those who contribute to the crowdfunding will get "a tip of the hat, a sly wink, a kiss blown on the wind, a humble bow, and a thank you on the website"—and perhaps some original illustrations. The money they donate will go toward materials for new creations and the production costs of documenting the whole thing.
As much fun as it will be to watch Muirhead tackle the weekly challenge of tracking down open source toilet paper, it will also be exciting to follow the progress of a project that stands to bring together the already open Berliner community in new and interesting feats of design, technology, and innovation.

|General information
|The centeral Misty Mountains, a couple miles north of the Gladden river
|Khuzdul, Elvish, Westron
|Images of Moria
- "After the end of the First Age the power and wealth of Khazad-dûm was much increased; for it was enriched by many people and much lore and craft. . ."
- ― Appendix A
Khazad-dûm, latterly known as Moria (also known as The Black Chasm, The Black Pit, Dwarrowdelf, Hadhodrond, Casarrondo and Phurunargian), was the grandest and most famous of the mansions of the Dwarves. There, for many thousands of years, a thriving Dwarvish community created the greatest city ever known.
It lay in the central parts of the Misty Mountains, tunnelled and carved through the living rock of the mountains themselves. By the Second Age a traveler could pass through it from the west of the range to the east.
It was founded in very ancient days by Durin the Deathless. Durin awoke at Mount Gundabad in the Misty Mountains, who came upon a shimmering lake beneath the mountain Celebdil, with a crown of stars reflected in its waters. He named that lake in the Dwarvish tongue, Kheled-zâram, the Mirrormere and it remained a revered place among Dwarves of all houses ever afterwards. There in the caves above started the building of Khazad-dûm and also Dwarrowdelf by Men, Hadhodrond by the Sindar, and Casarrondo by the Ñoldor.
First Age
Durin the Deathless thus became King Durin I of Khazad-dûm. Afterwards, other rulers of Khazad-dûm were sometimes named Durin, as they were considered to be his reincarnations, who the dwarves believed came to live again among his people.
As the millennia passed, the descendants of Durin sat upon the throne of Khazad-dûm, and their cavernous city became famous throughout the world. It even has a passing mention in Quenta Silmarillion, the tale of the Elf-lords and their wars far to the west, though to them it was no more than a distant rumour they heard from the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains on their borders.
Second Age
In c. 40 of the Second Age after Beleriand was destroyed by the War of Wrath, most of the Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost began leaving en masse from their now ruined cities for Khazad-dûm. The city was enriched not just in numbers, but in the western Houses' skills in smithing, crafting and masonry. All these factors created a renaissance for Khazad-dûm, and brought its prosperity to its zenith.
After the Sinking of Beleriand, the Noldor, founded a country of their own by the western gate of Khazad-dûm, Eregion. A rare friendship sprang up between the Dwarves and the Elves of this new land. Eregion's ruler, Celebrimbor, helped to construct the famous and magical gate that became known as the West-gate of Moria, and indeed went so far as to present King Durin III with a Ring of Power. The friendship of Khazad-dûm and Eregion came to a sudden end, however, in II 1697. Sauron overran the country of the Elves, and despite the best efforts of the Dwarves to help them, he succeeded in destroying Eregion and driving away the survivors. With the Elves dead or fleeing far away, the doors of Khazad-dûm were sealed against Sauron's forces, and Khazad-dûm went into seclusion. It was also during this time that the Orcs reinvaded the mountains and made war on the Dwarves. Taking Mount Gundabad from the Kingdom of Durin.
Their seclusion was broken for a time with the beginning of the War of the Last Alliance. The Dwarves, led by King Durin IV, fought along side the Elves and Men in their campaign to destroy defeat Sauron for the last time. With the conclusion of the war the Dwarves went back to their country, and resumed their seclusion from the world.
Third Age
During this time Khazad-dûm further expanded its treasures, but despite this its numbers began to dwindle. Most of its great wealth was based on the Mithril that was found in its mines, and as the centuries passed, the Dwarves mined deeper and deeper for the precious metal. In the year III 1980, they dug too deep, and unleashed a nameless terror from the depths beneath the city. The creature wreaked dreadful destruction, and in slaying the then King, Durin VI, became known as Durin's Bane. In the following year, Durin's son, Náin I, was also lost, and the Dwarves fled their ancient home.
After millennia as one of the richest cities in Middle-earth, Khazad-dûm stood dark and empty, but for the brooding menace the Dwarves had released. In that time it was given a new name, Moria, the Black Pit.
The monster - a Balrog of Morgoth, as was later known - lurked alone in Moria for nearly five hundred years. After that time, the old city of Khazad-dûm began to be peopled again, but not by Dwarves. Orcs from the North began to enter the abandoned city to raid its treasuries, and occupy it. They also began to worship the Balrog as their deity. Soon afterwards, Sauron directed his creatures there, and Moria began to fill with Orcs and Trolls from Mordor. Though the orcs' numbers were greatly reduced in the Battle of Nanduhirion, fought in the valley beneath Moria's East-gate in III 2799, the Balrog could not be bested, and Khazad-dûm remained a place of darkness.
At some point between 2841 and 2941 the Wizard Gandalf entered the city looking for King Thráin II who had disappeared on journey to Erebor.
Balin's expedition
In III 2989, there was an attempt by the Longbeards to reclaim their ancient home. The expedition was led by Balin, who had accompanied Bilbo Baggins on the Quest of Erebor. He led a colony of Dwarves there from Erebor. The Colony was successful at first, killing a considerable number of Orcs, taking many of the Eastern halls and finding many lost treasures such as Durin's Axe. They were however defeated and slain by the Orcs in 2994.
Possibly at some point after this Aragorn Chieftain of the Dúnedain entered Moria for some unknown purpose.
The Fellowship's passage
When Frodo Baggins set out from Rivendell with the Fellowship, they at first planned to travel over the Misty Mountains. When they were stopped by heavy snow on Mount Caradhras, they found themselves pursued by wolves and Orcs, and fled into Moria, so as to go under the mountains. There, they found Balin's journal in the Book of Mazarbul and learned the fate of his expedition. They were then set upon by a host of Trolls and Orcs, and they discovered that the terror was, in fact, a Balrog of Morgoth. Gandalf fought the Balrog on a narrow bridge and succeeded in destroying a section of bridge to make the Balrog fall. As it fell, the Balrog snagged Gandalf's leg with its whip of thongs and pulled him after it, sending them both plunging into the abyss spanned by the bridge. The rest of the Fellowship managed to escape Moria and reach Lórien mostly unharmed.
Unknown to the Fellowship, both Gandalf and the Balrog survived the fall and fought a ferocious battle from the depths of Moria to the mountains above, demolishing the top of the legendary Endless Stair and a part of the surrounding mountain peak in the process. Gandalf cast down the Balrog upon the mountainside and lived just long enough to see it die, but his story was not yet ended. (See Gandalf's entry for further details.)
While Gandalf had felled the Balrog, Moria remained a place of evil creatures until the Fourth Age.[1]
Retaking and Reign of Durin VII
Though little information is given, the retaking of Khazad-dûm by Durin VII seems to have occurred during the Fourth Age. He became King of Durin's Folk, and led a final return to the city. He was successful, and long after the War of the Ring, the Dwarves of Durin's line reclaimed their inheritance, and the hammers rang again in their great halls beneath the Misty Mountains until the race of Dwarves ended.
Khazad-dûm was a huge array of chambers, passages, mines, halls, stores and pits. In general, areas were either classed as mines or city. The mines were working sections of Khazad-dûm whilst the city was the area of habitation.
The city areas of Khazad-dûm were clustered primarily to the east; these were the oldest parts of the kingdom and had access to the Great Gates. They were structured into seven Levels and seven Deeps. The Levels stretched above the gate whilst the Deeps were set deeper within the mountain below the level of the East-gate. It is possible that the First Level (on which the Great Gates were set) and the First Deep were highly intertwined.
The eastern section of the city spaces had also been delved in such a manner as to have light shafts to illuminate their chambers. One example of this is the Chamber of Mazarbul which was located on the eastern edge of the Seventh Level.
The mine areas of Khazad-dûm were interlaced with the city spaces, but spread also westward toward the Doors of Durin. The mines ran deeper and further than any other tunnels within Khazad-dûm, and it is possible that more of the lower Deeps were given over to mining, although this is only conjecture.
The defined change between mines and city can be seen when the Fellowship pass through Moria - there is a marked difference between the early passages and chambers and those of the city structures illuminated by Gandalf.
Far below Moria, there are abysses, spaces and tunnels not known even by the Dwarves, but known by the Balrog. Unknown beings gnaw the earth and make them, far from the knowledge of any lore.
The name Moria is composed of the Sindarin elements mor "black, dark" and iâ "void, abyss".[2][3] Khazad-dûm was so called in Sindarin by the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, as for them it was was but a "Dark Chasm". Although the Dwarves considered it a derogatory name, Celebrimbor went as far as to write the name "Moria" on the West-gate.[source?]
The name Khazad-dûm in Khuzdul means "Dwarves' Mansion(s)". Khazâd being the plural of khuzd "Dwarves" while dûm (or possibly rather tûm) a word for "excavation(s), hall(s), mansion(s)" (it is not clear if the second word is in singular or plural form).
The Elves translated it as Casarrondo (Quenya, name given by the Noldor)[4] or Hadhodrond (Sindarin). The word Hadhodrond is composed of the elements hadhod (an attempt by the Elves to render Khazâd, (the Dwarves' name for their own kind, into Elvish sounds) + rond ("cavern").[source?]
Phurunargian meaning "Dwarrowdelf" or "Dwarf-delving" was the Westron name for Khazad-dûm.[5][6] The word derives from the root PHUR ("to delve") and narg- ("dwarf").[6] Tolkien noted that the form Phurunargian was "archaic" Westron although he did not mention the elements that make it archaic (over a possible vernacular form).[7][5]

Bill has been busy boxing the house up while I have been busy unpacking and getting settled. It's like we are on opposite side of a mirror, a very E.A. Poe-esque mirror.
After a few days in Birmingham, I still felt like I was teetering around the kitchen. Months spent between a hotel room and a suitcase can really make you feel that the space you are in is still temporary. I had to do very basic things to ease myself into the new house. Walk barefoot in the yard. Cook dinner. Meet the neighbors.
I am back in Charleston for the next couple of weeks and I find myself looking for other anchors. Landmarks, familiar paths and sounds. I listen to the oysters down below and their clap-clapping choir. I observe the fiddler crabs crossing over the edge of the yard with their funky sidestep motion. But again, I find my balance back in the kitchen.
Clare and Laura are here. Tami will be joining us next week. We are teaching a couple of 4 day workshops on the Isle of Palms, here in Charleston. It's good to have them around. In a world where you are constantly on the go, without an on/off switch, it's pure pleasure to take those 4 days to teach, share, communicate and talk about the subject that fuels and nourish us, photography. Food, people, light, composition.
Almost as soon as I got home, I pulled out big bowl, made tart dough, peeled a few apples and started making my grandmother's Apple Tart. Thin, filled with vanilla infused applesauce and topped with as many apple slices as could fit in the pan. Mamie Paulette was quite famous for her apple tarte. I am convinced now that it had special powers whether you were the one making it or eating it. If you shared it, it was twice as good.

The Apple TV has just become slightly less frustrating to use—especially if you use it in a house where there are multiple iTunes accounts. Apple pushed a software update to its set-top box on Monday that brings the ability to easily switch between multiple iTunes accounts, allowing you to purchase or watch TV shows from those accounts without having to re-enter a password every time you switch. The Apple TV also gained support for shared Photo Streams (introduced to iOS devices last week as part of iOS 6), subtitle support for the hard-of-hearing, and a handful of other features.
In addition to the features mentioned above, the Apple TV can now stream AirPlay audio to another Airplay-enabled device (such as external speakers). This could be useful if you have a set of AirPlay-enabled speakers you want to use with a movie but don't have those directly connected to your TV set. You can now also search movie trailers and see show times in local theaters, set up "advanced networking options," and choose a handful of new screen savers. Apple says the update also comes with "general performance and stability improvements."
Monday's update is only supported on Apple's second- and third-generation Apple TVs—if you own an original Apple TV, you'll unfortunately miss out. Still, some of these changes have been a long time coming. Aside from iTunes account switching, support for SDH subtitles has been an oft-requested feature—and may be a sign that Apple is taking its current TV offering more seriously. Users can force the download by going to Settings > General > Update, or just wait until the Apple TV prompts you to perform the update.

We have literally eaten our fair share of this edition of French Word A Week lately and we would gladly do it again. Actually we might later today. It's puff pastry, who wouldn't be?
Yes, we are furiously infatuated by pate feuilletee in this household. You can listen to the pronunciation here (and yes it's my voice this time and yes I am quite aware it's two words. Bonus)
Hmmm...puff pastry...That elusive pit-stop of a baker's apprentice. The one that elicit words such as "difficult", "temperamental", "finicky", "a pain in the derriere" and a sleuth of other chosen adjectives.
Add "gluten free".
Now we're talking about a whole other level of difficulty.
Yet, within the course of this past year and bouncing off ideas, ratios, trials and errors with Shauna and Danny, I can say that our family finally ate a gluten free mille-feuilles worthy of that name!(pictured above)
I have made it four times in the past two weeks just to make sure that the first time I yelled "victory" was not a dream. Everytime it worked perfectly. Imagine a dough that does not crack when you roll it, that you do not need to patch and doctor up as you roll and fold. A gluten free dough that behaves exactly as one loaded with gazillion strands of gluten. Oh yeah....
I wanted to post the full recipe today until Shauna gently nudged me to do it one more time with step by step pictures so that people who have never made it could see the method and you could clearly see what I am talking about when I say I want to rest my head on the dough it is so soft.
So....the step by step tutorial is being photographed as we speak (I am in between 2 turns right now) and I'll post the full recipe and several dishes/desserts I made with it on Tuesday.
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend. We are having a few get togethers with friends and family until Monday when my parents leave to go back home. I'll be moping around the house that day. Good time to write about pate feuilletee then!
Have a great weekend!

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - He's getting better. He's getting worse. He's already dead. The whole thing is a conspiracy and he was never sick in the first place.
The obsessive, circular conversations about President Hugo Chavez's health dominate family dinners, plaza chit-chats and social media sites in this country on edge since its larger-than-life leader went to Cuba for emergency cancer surgery more than two weeks ago. The man whose booming voice once dominated the airwaves for hours at a time has not been seen or heard from since.
His lieutenants have consistently assured Venezuelans over the last week that Chavez is slowly on the mend and will be back at the helm of the country he has dominated for 14 years. But when will he be back? Will he be well enough to govern? What type of cancer does he have? Is it terminal? If so, how long does he have to live?
Government officials have not answered any of those questions, leaving Venezuelans to their own speculations. The wildest conspiracy theories run the gamut from those who say there is no proof Chavez is even still alive to those who believe his illness is a made-up play for sympathy.
"Everything has been a mystery. Everyone believes what they want about the status of his health," said Ismael Garcia, a leftist lawmaker who belonged to the Chavez movement until a falling-out a few years ago.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro read out a New Year message from Chavez to Venezuelan troops on Friday, but for the fourth day in a row offered no updates on the president's health. Maduro had announced Monday night that Chavez was walking and doing some exercises.
The uncertainty comes with a sense of urgency because Chavez is scheduled to be sworn in for a new six-year term Jan. 10. The government and opposition disagree on what should happen if Chavez can't show up, raising the threat of a destabilizing legal fight. Beyond that, nobody knows if Chavez's deputies, who have long worked under his formidable shadow, can hold the country together if he dies.
Like everything else in this fiercely divided country, what people believe usually depends on where their political loyalty lies. Chavez opponents are mostly convinced that the president has terminal cancer, has known it for a long time and should not have sought re-election in October. His most fervent supporters refuse to believe "El Comandante" will die.
"Chavez is going to live on. He is a very important man. He has transformed the world with his ideology," said Victor Coba, a 48-year-old construction worker standing outside a Caracas church as government officials held a Mass to pray for the leader. "Anyone of us will die first before Chavez."
Coba scurried off to a street corner where officials were handing out a book of photographs of Chavez's recent presidential campaign. The comandante's grinning face looked out from the cover, alongside the slogan "Chavez, the heart of my country."
The same image looms from billboards erected all over Caracas, from freeway medians to the low-income apartment towers being built with Venezuelan oil wealth. Such services for the poor have helped Chavez maintain a core of followers despite high inflation, rampant gun violence, trash-strewn cities and other problems he has failed to fix.
For many, the attachment to Chavez borders on religious reverence. His supporters wish each other "Feliz Chavidad" rather than "Feliz Navidad," or Merry Christmas. Government officials have started talking about Chavez like an omnipresent deity.
"Chavez is this cable car. Chavez is this great mission. The children are Chavez. The women are Chavez. The men are Chavez. We are all Chavez," Maduro said recently while inaugurating a cable car to bring people down from one of the vast slums that creep up Caracas' hillsides. "Comandante, take care of yourself, get better and we will be waiting for you here."
Crowds of red-clad supporters roar their approval each time Maduro reassures them. But on the streets, confusion reigns.
"People say he's going to get better," said Alibexi Birriel, an office manager eating at a Chinese restaurant on Christmas Day.
Her husband Richard Hernandez shook his head. "No. Most people say Chavez is going to die and that Nicolas Maduro is going to take power."
Birriel paused, chiming in, "Well, some think this whole thing is theater and that there's nothing wrong with him."
Hernandez, who described himself as a Chavez supporter but "not a fanatic," shrugged. "The opposition thinks that if Chavez died they are going to win the elections. That is not going to happen."
There have been some official details. Chavez, 58, first underwent surgery for an unspecified type of pelvic cancer in Cuba in June 2011 and went back this month after tests had found a return of malignant cells in the same area where tumors had already been twice removed. Venezuelan officials said that following a six-hour surgery Dec. 11, Chavez suffered internal bleeding that was stanched and a respiratory infection that was being treated.
Just five months earlier, Chavez had announced he was free of cancer. But he acknowledged the seriousness of his illness earlier before flying to Cuba this month by designating Maduro as his successor and telling his supporters to vote for the vice president should new elections be necessary. Outside doctors have said that judging from the information Chavez has provided, his cancer is likely terminal, though the government has never confirmed that.
On Christmas Eve, Maduro surprised Venezuelans by saying he had spoken to Chavez by telephone and that the president was up and walking. With no other details, that only set off another round of furious speculation.
"I don't think he can be standing up walking," said Dr. Gustavo Medrano, a lung specialist at the Centro Medico hospital in Caracas. "Unless ... there are a lot of lies in this and the surgery was not six hours ... but something else much simpler, much simpler, maybe a half-hour operation, or two hours, something like that and that he is now recovering. That is possible."
Chavez supporters tweeted their relief and joy. Opponents tweeted incredulity. They traded insults in the comment sections of newspaper websites. Some posters demanded to know where the proof was that the president was even still alive. Others wondered if he had ever been sick in the first place. Chavez supporters shot back that the rumor-mongering should stop.
One Chavez foe finally posted on the Ultimas Noticias newspaper website, "Bla, bla, bla ... He's getting better, he's dying, he has nothing, he's strong as a bull, he can't get of bed, all the hypotheses are valid because there is no proof of anything."
Amid the raging rumors, Chavez's daughter, Maria Gabriela Chavez, sent out a Twitter message from Havana last week pleading for it all to stop.
"Respect for my family and especially respect for my people. Enough lies! We are with papa. ALIVE, fighting and recovering. WITH GOD," she wrote.
Teresa Maniglia, a press officer at the presidential palace, has kept up a steady stream of cheerleading tweets.
"CHAVEZ all the time."
That's for sure.

Hot Online: 'Accidental Racist' song gets backlash
Hot video
Country music star Brad Paisley and rapper LL Cool J teamed up for the "Accidental Racist," and the lyrics are causing controversy, with some claiming the song is actually racist. Comedians like Patton Oswalt went crazy on Twitter poking fun of the song, while Paisley defended it to Entertainment Weekly saying he knew the song would be shocking. Watch the video report at the bottom of this column.
Trending topic
Megachurch pastor Joel Osteen was the victim of an Internet hoax that said he was denouncing Christianity. A website on Monday went up that looked like Osteen's official website, and it said he was leaving Christianity and that the Bible was a "fallible, flawed, highly inconsistent history book." Osteen responded by telling ABC News, "You know, I'm really not angry. I don't feel like a victim. I feel too blessed, that life is too short to let things like this get you down."

Don't like the thought of sending even more of your hard-earned money to the government for corporate welfare? Then take notice: the Federal Communications Commission is considering a bipartisan proposal that would tax your Internet connections and fill the pockets of our nation's phone companies, even the ones that earn billions in profits while getting their own tax rebate checks from Uncle Sam.
At issue is how to pay for the Universal Service Fund (USF), a Reagan-era program with the laudable goal of ensuring that rural and low-income Americans have access to affordable communications services. Congress codified the FCC's existing program in a 1996 law, but left it to the FCC to figure out how to fund the program instead of using general tax revenues.
The FCC decided to adopt fees for long distance phone companies, which all dutifully pass those costs along to their customers in below-the-line charges. (It's this complicated pass-through that lets the government and your phone company claim this fee isn't really a "tax.")
What started as a program with important goals (making sure rural farmers can make phone calls and ensuring the poorest among us can dial 911) turned into an unaccountable corporate slush fund. Today USF is an $8 billion annual program, nearly quadrupling in size since its inception, with the bulk of that increase going to landline and wireless phone companies.
Maybe this massive growth would be no concern if USF were a model program with a sterling reputation for efficiency. But it's not. One recent study found that 59 cents of every USF dollar raised for rural networks was spent on administrative expenses and general overhead. A 2010 audit of the rural USF program found that one out of every four dollars sent to participating phone companies was an "overpayment," with nearly a billion dollars unaccounted for.
The FCC recently adopted some reforms to rural and low-income USF programs, but just this past month the Government Accountability Office noted that the FCC has yet to implement any system for determining each phone company's actual need for subsidies or any mechanism for tracking the effectiveness of the $8 billion program.
Against this backdrop of an ever-increasing multi-billion dollar corporate subsidy come ongoing calls to overhaul how we pay for the USF. The need for some reform is pretty obvious—mostly because the way the system works today is anything but clear to the average consumer.
Go pull out a recent cell phone bill and look for the line item with a name like "Federal Universal Service Charge." It will be a few bucks each month, accounting for about 6 percent of the total cost of your voice plan.
The FCC today requires fees only on the interstate revenues of telecommunications service providers (meaning long distance and cell phone carriers), and those companies pass that fee along to you. But because the overall size of USF is growing at a time when these long distance revenues are not, the size of the FCC's assessment is growing. So this "contribution factor" is about 3 times higher today than it was 15 years ago, meaning that $3 tax on your phone bill used to be $1.
Instead of doing the politically hard work of strengthening the USF by cutting back the amount we toss to the companies feeding at the subsidy trough, politicians like former Democratic Rep. Rick Boucher, regulators like current Republican FCC Commissioner Rob McDowell, and some big companies have called for "expanding the contributions base," which is DC-speak for adding a USF tax to services like your home broadband connection or smartphone data plan.
AT&T says that "retail mass market broadband Internet access should be included" in the FCC's tax, and Google "strongly supports expanding the USF contribution base to include broadband Internet access services," even as it begs the FCC to exempt Google's own voice telephony services from the USF tax.
Think carefully
Our policymakers should think carefully before creating a new broadband tax. The big concern is that because consumer demand is more sensitive to price increases on emerging services like broadband than established ones like telephone service, a broadband tax could actually undermine adoption in low-income and senior populations, the very people most likely to be disconnected.
Like the rural electrification efforts during the New Deal, the goals of the USF program are noble; we all benefit when more of our fellow citizens are connected. But the FCC needs to focus on making USF more efficient and accountable before it reaches further into our wallets. At the very least, policymakers need to first study the impact of a broadband tax before foisting it on consumers.
Ultimately, if Congress wants to put USF on stable ground, it needs to change the law so the program is funded through general treasury revenues, not these regressive taxes.

So here's the deal... VentureBeat posted an "exclusive" article this afternoon saying Facebook has no plans to release Instagram for BlackBerry 10.
No offense to VentureBeat, but whatever sources they have that are familiar with the matter, I have better sources that are even more familiar with this matter. I checked in with my contacts that all but gave formal confirmation that RIM continues to have a strong relationship with Facebook, who now owns Instagram, and that you will see Instagram come to BlackBerry 10.
Remember, Facebook took to the keynote stage at BlackBerry Jam Americas just a couple weeks ago to show off an early preview of Facebook on BlackBerry 10. Do you really think they're going to snub us BlackBerry users on Instagram?
As for my confidence level on this one... let's just say if I'm wrong... how about I'll buy somebody a car. Leave a comment to this post telling the good folks at Instagram how much you're looking forward to a BlackBerry 10 version of thir photo-sharing social service. And if you don't see Instagram for BlackBerry 10 hit, I'll pick the name of one of the lucky commenters and buy them a car.
PS. While I've been on my Mobile Nations World Tour I've been on Instagram a lot. I love Instagram. You can find me there @crackberrykevin.

… the notion that an OpenGL application is "wrong" to ever use immediate mode is overzealous. The OpenGL 3.0 specification has even gone so far as to mark immediate mode in OpenGL for "deprecation" (whatever that means!); such extremism is counter-productive and foolish. The right way to encourage good API usage isn't to try to deprecate or ban API usage, but rather educate developers about the right API usage for particular situations.
The truth is that modern OpenGL implementations are highly tuned at processing immediate mode; there are many simple situations where immediate mode is more convenient and less overhead that configuring and using vertex arrays with buffer objects.
This fellow, MarK J. Kilgard has been publishing nVidia source code and documents on openGL since the 90's and has been doing so on behalf of one of the two biggest names in gaming hardware. With what that man said as a representative of nVidia, I feel that it is safe to assume that there will be no functionality dropped from OpenGL anytime in the near future so far as nVidia hardware and drivers are concerned. Now, I may be going out on a limb here by saying this but I suspect that AMD/ATI will be holding fast to this as well. My logic is as follows, despite the lack of public statement on this matter from ATI representatives, we can safely assume that AMD/ATI are not going to give nVidia the upper hand by all of a sudden taking out features that they currently support and have always supported.
One may also conclude from this that many other features of the OpenGL API that people are now afraid to use will not be going anywhere, nor should they.
Issues will arise for people that want to branch into mobile development if they are not careful with certain aspects the more "dated" API functions but it's also very likely that much of what is currently available in the broad OpenGL API will become increasingly available on handheld's, as their GPU's and driver models become more sophisticated. On desktops, OpenGL is almost fully backwards compatible going back 15 years. This is true for ATI, nVidia and even Intel has been following this model as best they can with their little purse-sized computers.
