A chook! One of my lovely customers asked for a full size chicken cake for her 13 year old daughter as these are her favourite animals. I was told that she didn’t want to cut it! |

How successful has Nato's strategy been in Afghanistan? |
Under General David Petraeus, a major plank of Nato's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) strategy has been "kill/capture raids" - lightning strikes on senior Taliban personnel to either take prisoner or kill. |
But have they worked? Isaf supplies no consistent data on the policy, other than issuing a string of press releases claiming success after success, releases which often describe several raids in different places simultaneously. Researchers Alex Strick van Linschoten and Felix Kuehn wanted to find out exactly how the mi... |
You can read their full report here. Frustrated by the lack of hard data, Strick van Linschoten scraped the reports, then used the Tinderbox database package to process each incident and extract the key numbers. |
What he found is a very different picture to that described by Isaf press releases. "There are still relatively large numbers of Afghans subject to the capture-or-kill raids," he says. |
Although, interestingly, there has been a decline in these raids since Petraeus left Afghanistan in July this year. |
The report is a fund of data crucial to understanding the way Nato has fought the conflict. We've mapped some of the key facts by province, too. |
This data, painstakingly collated, is the first time we can get a real picture of what is happening. |
Aside from occasional scraps thrown to the media by ISAF, this is the first time that we have been able to get a somewhat more nuanced picture of how ISAF is operating, minimum figures for how many people are being detained and killed as well as a makeshift way to evaluate the usefulness of ISAF's own aggregate numbers... |
Strick van Linschoten has visualised the timeline of releases below - you can explore it by clicking and dragging - or seeing it on the original site. |
mundane jane: Poke a stick in that puppy and give it to me to go. |
Poke a stick in that puppy and give it to me to go. |
I love corn dogs. I don't eat them as often as crunchy and delicious drive-through tacos, but every now and then, nothing will make me happy but a steaming hot battered wiener on a stick. |
For instance, I like a good corn dog on my birthday. And because this week has been a bit of a pisser, I think I'll look one up today on my lunch hour--sort of the working girl's alternative to the good-Lord-I-hope-this-gets-me-to-5 o'clock, two-martini lunch. |
No mustard. Who does this? Yet, every time I order one, I have to send the server back for the mustard. This one point is non-negotiable. A dry corn dog may as well be no corn dog at all. Come back and get it, cause I'm not eating it. |
Anything less than a steaming hot corn dog. Nobody likes a cold wiener. Okay, a dog will eat a cold wiener, as will a small child. And both will eat practically anything, provided it is found unguarded on the floor, so there you go. If your judgement is such that you will eat a weiner off the floor, then a cold weiner ... |
A wiener that is too large. There must be the correct ratio of dog-to-corn. Otherwise, what's the point? One might as well be eating naked wieners off the floor with the dogs and the little children and the people with questionable judgement. |
Anyone reminding me what comprises a wiener while I am in the process of eating one. There's no real reason to expound on this one, is there? Too much editorializing, and I run the risk of ruining my own corn dog. |
If you're thinking that a lot of things have to come together to result in the perfect corn dog, you're right. But when it works, it's well worth the trouble--and waiting for the server to fetch a packet of mustard. |
Please, please note their slogan. |
The extremely righteous music on this podcast is a remix of Feel My Pain Miss Jane, words, music, production, and performance by David Henderson. |
Corn dogs are the only real reason to go to the state fair. |
What about funnel cakes? Would you go to the fair for funnel cakes? |
As I was reading this I kept thinking , "My mom is talking about penises. Is my mom taking about penises?" |
From someone's who made that trip to the state fair with their two kids every year,nothing could get me to the state fair. The corn dogs are good and the funnel cakes are good but I can get either at any small town event in the state without having to walk five miles just to get to the gate at the state fair and walk f... |
Stop it! Now I'm gonna have to come up with air fair to go back to Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio to ride on the world's best and scariest roller coasters and then eat a Pronto Pup. Definitely in that order. And how I'll do this on a writer's salary is going to be the tricky part, as you well know, Boss. |
Nothing at all could get me to any state fair, but the Faulkner County Fair is just around the corner and I've had some really good corn dogs, mustard included without asking. So you won't have to wait much longer for your perfect corn dog Jane. |
That's nice. Not only do I have writers commenting on posts, but also using it as a platform to lobby for better pay. So noted, Lulu. |
How can you write a whole blog about corn dogs and never mention the little crunchy batter at the end of dog? That, sweet girl, is why you trudge through the imbalance of dog-to-corn ratio, and what allows the server to live when you're already on your way home only to find there is no mustard. |
It’s Wednesday and we have a big 4-game NBA Slate tonight that starts at 8:00 pm. |
Don't forget to check out who we have going in our NBA FanDuel Lineup also!!!!! |
For Minnesota, we have Wiggins in there for right now as his $5,600 seems a bit too low for me in what is a good match-up. |
With T.J. Warren & Deandre Ayton out, Devin Booker has some great upside as he should be easily putting up 20+ shots tonight. Kelly Oubre Jr. has been a solid producer since being acquired for the suns and should see some extra run with Warren out. I think you can also go with some value with the Suns if you want to sp... |
For Portland, it’s hard not to go with Jusuf Nurkic with how undersized the Suns are right now. Nurkic’s price has gone up a bit, but he has 60+ DraftKings point upside in this match-up. |
As we are able to fit in two Centers with the UTIL spot in DraftKings, I did add Jahlil Okafor in our DraftKings lineup as he is coming off back-to-back 40+ DraftKings performances and between his low-price tag and the fact they’ll need his size against OKC, I don’t mind rolling the dice with him again tonight. |
When I officially set my studio up in 2012, I changed the name I’d unofficially been using for almost ten years. |
To say that I did it to distance myself from my previous artistic ventures wouldn’t be entirely true though. Yes, I cringe when I look at my older pieces – people have even had to intervene to prevent me from destroying some of them (a whole other story), but that doesn’t mean that the work itself is without some merit... |
You can’t see me twitching violently here, as I go to post this. Some of the work that will appear in this series dates back as far as the 1980’s, and challenges me not to hit delete. . . but it’s part of the process. |
I’m preparing to release another creative project out into the wilds. |
Why not just release this new thing, and not put yourself / us through this? |
I’m glad you asked that. I did this as a personal challenge. I’ve been fairly successful as an artist, I’ve won awards, scholarships, contests, been featured in magazines, galleries and had a number of solo shows. I’ve sold my work to people around the world. This has happened over 42 years. |
Yep. The first thing I won was a province wide painting contest, to design a poster for the public library system. It was open to any elementary students in British Columbia. I was in kindergarten. |
With that said, I know art is subjective, and not everyone likes my work. I’ve had less than constructive critiques leveled at me over the years, as well as positive encouragement. I learned from my detractors, as some of what they had to say was useful. Some of it was not. Some of it was intended to be destructive. I ... |
This new project has fewer years behind it. I’ve only shown my writing to a small group. I’m learning from the critiques. The art I’m using with this feature is my quiet way to ‘stalk’ those parts of me that are still fragile, bound to ego, or would get in the way of letting my creative ‘word-baby’ grow properly. |
Thank you for reading this. Please feel free to comment, and share your own creative process. |
Great work Jenn. It is amazing to me what you did at 5 years old. You are amazingly talented. |
Thank you – What creative things do you pursue? |
Jenn I am not an artist. I love looking at your art though. I have a blog. I love to refinish antique furniture. I have not done any pieces in a very long time. I just recently purchased an antique headboard and footboard for my grand daughter. I will be working on that soon. |
That, makes you an artist. |
Will you post pictures of it when you're done? |

London Evening Standard - The New Optimism: How You Can Be Happy | Robert Holden, Ph.D. |
Psychiatrists used to study misery. Then one day Martin Seligman, the (now very wealthy) father of the positive psychology movement, had the bright idea of turning things on their heads. Rather than study unhappy people, he thought, why not look at happy people? |
