Sounds weird, doesn't it? The truth is, it's a very good combination. You can decide the level of peanut butter flavor you want here. If you use the lesser amount, the peanut butter flavor is minimal; use the greater amount, and it tends to rather dominate the other flavors. The banana you use should be ripe, but it doesn't have to be very ripe, as is often the case for other banana recipes. A banana that is mostly golden and still a bit firm is perfectly OK.
You'll want to use a good-quality ice cream here...just a plain chocolate, none of those fancy mixtures. I like Ben & Jerry's or Haagen-Dazs. To soften the ice cream, remove the lid and plastic liner (if any) from a one-pint carton. Microwave at 50% (medium) power for 10-20 seconds, depending upon the power of your microwave. You do not want the ice cream to melt, though if a bit is melted around the carton edges, that's OK. To "measure out" the correct amount, use a large spoon and work quickly. Trace a line in the top of the softened ice cream to divide the carton into halves, then scoop out all the ice cream in one half. As you might expect, this must be served as soon as it's made.
3 Tbsp. cold milk
3 Tbsp. chocolate syrup
1 large ripe banana, peeled, with any brown spots removed
2-3 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
About 1 c. good-quality chocolate ice cream
You may need: an additional tablespoon or two of cold milk
In blender container, combine milk and chocolate syrup. Slice banana into container (avoid splashing), then drop peanut butter on top. Cover; blend at medium speed until well-mixed and smooth, scraping down sides of container as necessary.
Now, soften the ice cream. Quickly add it in chunks to the blender container. Cover; blend at high speed just until smooth. If blender is having trouble because mixture is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of cold milk. Serve immediately.
Makes about 1-2/3 cups; 2 servings

Stephanie Niemer will go down as one of the greatest volleyball players in UC history. Today, she begins her final chance to driving the program to unprecedented heights as their NCAA tournament begins.
By Will Frasure
Special to GoBearcats.com
CINCINNATI -- Only moments removed from hearing the placement for her final run at the NCAA tournament, Big East Player of the Year Stephanie Niemer discussed her gut feelings and intuitions on the volleyball court.
"It usually comes out right," she said.
Indeed, ranking in the top five nationally in kills per set (5.08) and points per set (5.91) while leading UC to a regular season Big East title would support her summation.
With how well she performs each point, it isn't crazy to think the senior can feel what's going to happen on the court before it transpires.
"I'll have feelings that certain things will happen over passes," she said, "and I'll set myself up for something that may happen in order to help our team."
Her foresight can be seen in the locker room before games as she prepares for upcoming matches. It will return today as the Bearcats open the NCAA tournament against
One second, Niemer will want to wear a certain hair band. The next, her gut will tell her to wear something else. If it isn't exactly right, Niemer doesn't feel as confident as possible when she takes the court.
The choice to wear a Brazilian headband in
The result? A dominating 3-0 win over the Irish in which Niemer knocked home a team-high 15 kills.
"I got a good feeling off of (the headband) before the game. Obviously it worked out pretty well," said Niemer, sarcastically while laughing.
But having certain hunches about hair care isn't the only reason for Niemer's success.
Through dedication and some support from home, the senior has developed into one of the country's best players.
Niemer hadn't played outside hitter until the day she arrived in
"I wasn't necessarily the smartest volleyball player," Niemer said. "I just tried to swing through the block as hard as I could, or just swing as hard as I could anywhere."
With the goal of becoming a smarter and more developed player, Niemer dedicated herself to progress on and off the court. Close friend and teammate Lindsay Upton could see the commitment of Niemer in class and in offseason workouts.
"She's unbelievably dedicated,"
First came Big East Freshman of the Year after her first season, then a first-team Big East selection her sophomore year. She was honorable mention on the AVCA All-American team. Now, it'd be a travesty if she wasn't a first team All-American after her outstanding play that earned her a record six Big East Player of the Week awards.
Along the way, Niemer's family from across the river supported her and kept her grounded throughout her years at
"(My family and I) have gotten closer since I got here," Niemer said. "All of them come to my games most of the time, and someone will always try to be there for away games."
As the team moves on toward the NCAA Tournament, Niemer's humble attitude, gained from her supportive family, has allowed her to take her accolades in stride.
Even after her unprecedented Big East POW run, Niemer pointed toward the recognition the program received rather than basking in her success.
"I didn't try to win the award each week," Niemer said. "I just tried to play the best I could, and if that's what came with it, that's what came with it."
With the team building off their loss to
Her only focus: Propelling the program to its first Sweet 16, the goal of since Day 1.

I went to the dermatologist to get Botox for the fine vertical lines above my upper lip. (Smoker lines but I don't smoke.) I wanted Botox because I thought it would stop the way I was moving my face that were causing these lines. The lines weren't that bad but I didn't want them to get any worse. The dermatologist would not do Botox in this area and said juvederm would be great. He said I would love it.
It was a pretty uncomfortable process, a lot of pressing and massaging, and as a result I was a bit swollen in the mouth area, but not bruised. I was not happy with the way I looked like a duck. I waited two weeks but I still looked no better. I also had two big lumps inside my mouth.
I had been researching getting rid of the juvederm, but I was afraid to get the hyaluronidase injection due to some of the reviews I read about that. I was searching the internet for a more natural cure and found that hyaluronidase worked by neutralizing the acid in juvederm. I found out that baking soda also neutralizes acid so I thought I would try it. I made a paste of water and baking soda and for three nights in a row I put the baking soda paste all over the inside of my mouth and on the outside of my skin over the juvederm area. (Very messy and does not taste good.) I even swallowed a little just to get it in my system. It worked! After three times, I didn't even need to do it anymore. My upper lip area was back to normal, wrinkles and all. Expensive lesson but I think I got rid of most of the juvederm.
And a bonus was that as I was researching the baking soda, I found out that baking soda helped get rid of pimples. I had a pimple on my face, put the baking soda on it, and it was mostly gone the next day.
My problem is now that the dermatologist also injected a little bit of juvederm into my upper check/lower eye area. I'm not sure exactly why, he said something about how it would help tighten the skin and pull up the upper lip area. I did not ask to have my eye area done at all. But I figured he knew what he was doing so I let him have at it. What a mistake. I now have what I would describe as a wrinkle sag pouch under my eyes/upper cheek area that I never had before. The left side is worse than the right. It really is not an eye sag as it is not exactly right below my eyes. It is more of an upper cheek sag/wrinkle. I am hoping when the juvederm wears off the sags will go away. Anyone else have his problem and if so, did sags go away?
The baking soda paste has not worked on this area. I think it worked in the mouth area because inside of the mouth must be more absorbent than the outside skin.
I am tempted to get a fine needle and poke myself a few time and then put the baking soda paste on my face to see if it will absorb and dissolve the juvederm. I am a bit afraid to do this though. I certainly don't want to make the sags worse. I'll update if I decide to do it.
Last comment: We always want to look younger and want the results to last. Think long and hard before you do anything to alter your appearance. If you get a bad result, like I did, a product like juvederm that seems great because it lasts so long can be a nightmare when the results are bad. All of a sudden nine months ia a long, long time to live with it.

[MLS: Week 5] Unlike their foreign-based counterparts four weeks earlier against Ukraine, the MLS players weren't no-shows at the last-chance saloon on Wednesday.
None of the MLS players on the bubble earned a ticket to the World Cup, but they will likely all receive invites to the pre-party, the World Cup training camp scheduled to kick
off May 14, a day after Jurgen Klinsmann must submit his 30-player short list to FIFA.
Klinsmann has said he won't base his selections on how a
player does in one game but on the totality of his work. A total of 20 MLS players -- the 19 players in Glendale plus the injured Brad Evans -- are under
serious consideration for the 30-player short list, and we'll be following them over the next six weekends before Klinsmann will likely make his first cuts on the weekend of May 10-11, which also
happens to be the final weekend for his players based in the English and German top-level leagues.
The USA 20:
M Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake at Sporting KC)
D Matt Besler (Sporting KC vs. Real Salt
D Tony Beltran (Real Salt Lake at Sporting KC)
M Michael Bradley
(Toronto FC at Columbus)
M Brad Davis (Houston vs. FC Dallas)
F Clint Dempsey (Seattle at Portland)
M Maurice Edu (Philadelphia at
D Brad Evans (Seattle at Portland-injured)
M Luis Gil (Real Salt Lake at Sporting KC)
GK Bill Hamid (D.C. United vs. Chicago)
F Eddie Johnson (D.C. United vs. New England)
GK Sean
Johnson (Chicago vs. Philadelphia)
D Michael Parkhurst (Columbus
vs. Toronto FC)
GK Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake at Sporting KC)
D DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle at Portland)
M Graham
Zusi (Sporting KC vs. Real Salt Lake)
M Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy at Chivas USA)
D Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy at Chivas
D Clarence Goodson
(San Jose)
F Chris Wondolowski (San Jose)
Many of the
MLS 19 -- Evans' situation isn't looking good -- will be involved in some very high-profile games this weekend ...
PORTLAND-SEATTLE. The Cascadia Cup
should be a barn-burner and a big test for the Sounders' two Yank hopefuls: DeAndre Yedlin and Clint Dempsey. No one's
questioning Yedlin's burners, but this game will be a big test of his tactical acumen in face of the onslaught that will surely come from the Timbers, desperate for their first win. Dempsey looked
like a completely different player Wednesday night than he was a month earlier against Ukraine. Can be put his stamp on the biggest of the weekend's rivalry games? (The word out of Seattle is the
Sounders have "slowed things down" with Evans.)
SPORTING KC-REAL SALT LAKE. Five U.S. starters from Wednesday will be involved in this rematch of MLS
Cup 2013: Kyle Beckerman, Tony Beltran and Nick
Rimando for the visitors and Matt Besler and Graham Zusi for the home team. The player to watch: Besler. He
didn't have a bad game against Mexico, unlike the guy playing next to him, but Sporting KC has not displayed the rock-solid defense it exhibited in 2013, giving up nine goals in six games (MLS and
CCL) so far this season. How Besler does against MLS's most consistently dangerous attack will be very interesting to see.
Pre-Glendale, most betting folks would have put money on Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez starting at the World Cup.
Now, you couldn't say that about either player. Sunday's Super Clasico, in Klinsmann's backyard, will be a big test for both players. The Galaxy has yet to win in MLS -- albeit in two matches against
RSL -- and Chivas USA isn't the joke team it was last season. Mauro Rosales and Erick Torres are just the kind of
players to test Gonzalez's command of the area. More generally, the game will give further indication of just what's the story with Donovan's knee.
-- Both Portland defender Michael Harrington and FC Dallas midfielder Je-Vaughn
Watson will be available this weekend as an independent MLS review panel rescinded the fine and one-game suspension for the red cards issued for violent conduct in the 40th minute of the March
29 game. The clubs jointly submitted an appeal for review of the play an it was unanimously upheld.

To me it's a nice looking commemorative/limited edition, devoid of the usual yeehaw gold plating and pinstripes often found on such items.
With that said, if I were buying it I would value it as a standard configuration + the special order grips + [IF] the CFSS on the barrel is etched.

The 'Fight for This Love' singer - who is currently recovering after her own battle with the potentially-fatal disease after contracting it during a recent holiday to Tanzania - will go to the poverty-stricken areas to raise awareness of the illness, which causes 3,000 preventable deaths in the continent every day.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It is a very brave decision. Cheryl has thought long and hard about it. This is a life-changing, landmark experience for her. She's seen how malaria destroys people's lives and now has first-hand knowledge of just how serious it is. Cheryl got the best care possible when she got back from Tanzania and she is very grateful for it. But she is aware that millions of Africans are not so lucky.
"After what she has been through, you might have thought Africa was the last place she'd be wanting to go to. But the reverse is true."
During her trip - which will take place next year after she finishes on the latest series of UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' - the 27-year-old star will meet the families of malaria victims, promote anti-malaria mosquito nets and tour remote hospitals.
Last year, Cheryl helped to raise money to buy over 500,000 nets by claiming Mount Kilimanjaro.Reuse content

Mailer traced to museum director
There are 60 comments on the Ruidoso News story from Aug 30, 2012, titled Mailer traced to museum director. In it, Ruidoso News reports that:
An official with one of the local entities that could benefit financially if Ruidoso Downs voters next week approve a quality of life gross receipts tax was involved in the month ago mailing of a flyer urging voters to pass the tax.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Ruidoso News.
#1 Aug 30, 2012
Something about this does not seem right.
#2 Aug 31, 2012
Yeah, it is horrible. Citizens coming together, with their own money, to encourage others to vote for something they believe in. Yeah, this is a bad thing.
Oh, by the way, you probably haven't noticed yet, there is another small election in November. People are spending their own money on that one too. Maybe you speak against that too
#3 Aug 31, 2012
Sounds like another Hubbard tax. Probably a few Councilors and even the Mayor of The City involved in this one too. But of course their elustrious City Attorney will defend it. He's a Hubbard man too.
#4 Aug 31, 2012
Here is another way to look at it. The postage was stolen then returned. Under that logic any thief can undo his crime by returning that which he stole. Of course this is not the case. RD funds were embezzled to promote the tax and this should be prosecuted just like any other embezzlement.
#5 Aug 31, 2012
I believe the someone is on a WITCH HUNT! I seem to recall reading the exact same material that was mailed to RD patrons by the City of Ruidoso Downs in their very own newsletter, and materials passed out at a townhall meeting - using city time and tax dollars! So why the uproar? I do not believe anything illegal went on here and why would Mr. Hubbard have anything to do with this. It is not HIS museum any longer - IT IS THE CITIES!!! If the city loses the museum, what else do they have to attract tourists? Nothing!!!
#6 Aug 31, 2012
Apparently none of the comments here were written by residents of Ruidoso Downs. If they were residents and they had looked at their last water bill from the City of Ruidoso Downs, they would have been reading the exact same description of the tax that Kofakis and/or museum supporters sent out.
What's not "right" here is that the Ruidoso News seems hell bent on driving the Museum out of town because it has the name of their competition's owner on it. They really have nothing to fear from the so-called "Free Press."
#7 Aug 31, 2012
i am an outsider and when i stay in a ruidoso downs motel, don't i pay lodgers tax used for advertising for the city? and what does the city have to advertise, but a wonderful museum? as a taxpayer, i would rather a very tiny tax go towards keeping a class act museum open than go to some "wasteful project" that does not affect anyone other than special groups. as for the director using his own time and his own dime to promote something he truly believes in - i applaud. we need more like him.
#8 Sep 1, 2012
Hubbard has nothing to do with the museum other than his name being on it as he donated it to the City of Ruidoso Downs. This tax would be paid mostly by those that live outside the City limits through the purchasing of goods at Walmart and other businesses. The benefit is to the City to support the museum (the need for that can be debated) and to provide other services for its citizens such as programs like the Boys & Girls Club, and others, which provides a positive place for the kids of teh City
#9 Sep 1, 2012
His name is not allowed to be removed from the museum. He also still has many "perks" connected with it. We will tax ourselves right out of business. Each "small amount" adds up and together it becomes a large amount. The less fortunate should only eat and take their medicine, to be uneffected by all the "taxes".
#10 Sep 1, 2012
The problem stems from rules that do NOT allow municipalities and not-for-profits to campaign using taxpayer funds, property or paid time no matter the subject of the election. The most a municipality is allowed is to print a reminder to vote on utility bills.
There have been other violations in the area over the years resulting in comments from the public and press leading to action from the election board. Any employee can campaign on their own time and as long as they are not on government property. In fact, candidates are also not allowed to campaign on government property.
#11 Sep 1, 2012
From what I have heard, the Hubbard name can be removed after 2015.
What would those "many perks" be other than the annual fundraiser which brings the Hubbards and their friends together to raise money to support the museum? Does the City of Ruidoso Downs provide any money to operate the museum? I don't know.
#12 Sep 2, 2012
Read the contract (public information), the name will only change if all of his heirs agree to allow the name to be changed. The fund raiser money is controlled by Hubbard Foundation. The City foots the bill thru lodgers tax and general fund.
#13 Sep 2, 2012
The Fundraiser money is controlled by the Hubbard Museum Foundation not the Hubbard Foundation. Every penny goes and must go for the support of the Museum. The Foundation has spent almost $300,000 in the last 18 months on improvements and programming at the museum.
The city has been using the original 1.5 million dollar gift for the operations of the museum and now has spent it all. Like the VOR does with the Airport and the Convention center, the city must now pay for operations with their own funds. Lodgers Tax is use for the promotions of the Museum as it can only be use according to State Law. The Foundation raises funds for improvements, educational support and programming for the Museum.
#14 Sep 2, 2012
Why can't the users pay for the museum? Increase the admission fees if this is such a great draw for tourists. I don't like supporting tourists with my tax dollars. Aren't they supposed to be supporting us?
The mantra is always, "let's just screw the outsiders", not our own citizens. But, it does affect our citizens. Roswell is a great place to shop. Their WalMart is always better stocked, and they have a Sams right next door.
#15 Sep 2, 2012
"His name is not allowed to be removed from the museum. He also still has many "perks" connected with it."
"Read the contract (public information), the name will only change if all of his heirs agree to allow the name to be changed."
Tell us Mr. or Ms. "Again," what "perks" were you referring to....and where could ordinary folks find a copy of the contract between the City and R.D.Hubbard??
#16 Sep 2, 2012
Is there still a Museum Foundation? No mention of it on the museum's website.
#17 Sep 3, 2012
Yes, it is a totally separate 501c3 organization.
#18 Sep 3, 2012
It did seem as if the postage money was repaid 'after the fact'.
#19 Sep 3, 2012
Who is the director of the Museum Foundation, the totally separate 501c3 organization?
#20 Sep 3, 2012
If the City offered you a $250,000 a year retainer, wouldn't you want to be a Hubbard man too?

Very interesting thread, I was surprised to see how many curlies diffuse with low heat. My hair would never, ever dry like that I always use high heat, low setting for my hair. I never air dry, and so far I don't see any discernible damage to my hair. I have been curly for 15 months, and diffuse 2-3 times a week. When I first started I diffused every day. The breakthrough video for me on diffusing is here
How To Style Naturally Curly Hair (complete tutorial) - YouTube
Before watching this, I had flat roots and weird clumps all over the place but I think the flipping gives me more natural placement of the curls.

Benevento performs at Carbondale's PAC3
January 17, 2013
CARBONDALE – In 2005 Tom Stephenson, a Chicago musician and electronics tinkerer who specializes in experimental sounds, gave Marco Benevento a duffel bag. Inside were a bunch of toys. Or more precisely, circuit-bent toys: "Little cocktail toys, battery-operated," Benevento said. Benevento, who trained as a pianist at Boston's Berklee School of Music and went through a phase were he was deeply into the Hammond B-3 organ, took the toys and made music out of them.
"I was so inspired by these little sound machines, I bought a bunch of them," he said. "A lot of the sounds on my records came from these little kids' toys."
Thus confirming the idea that Benevento is a musician who will take sonic ideas from any and every corner. Among the influences he mentions are instructors from his years at Berklee (Joanne Brackeen, most prominently); jazz legends (Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson); people he has collaborated with (drummers Joe Russo, with whom he formed the unusual keyboard-and-drum combo the Benevento/Russo Duo, and Matt Chamberlain); classic rock bands (the Who, Cream) and modern electronic-leaning groups (Chromeo, MGMT, LCD Soundsystem); classical composers (Debussy, Ravel and Brahms) and a set of classical pieces (Bach's keyboard Inventions); a recording studio in Brooklyn, called Trout.
"It's from everywhere, absolutely. It's from friends, music," Benevento said about his influences. "It's all the music you listen to, all the people you meet."
Among the recent inputs is one that seems to have sprung from Benevento's own head. His most recent album, "Tiger Face," released in September, features vocals on several tracks. For Benevento, who, dating back to 2002, has released five albums under his name and several others with the Benevento/Russo Duo and Garage a Trois, this is the first time he has included singing on his recordings.
"I was hearing syllables in my head, to a piano part I was writing," said Benevento, a high-energy, upbeat 35-year-old, from his home in Saugerties, in upstate New York. Benevento has a long, warm association with vocal music, going back to his childhood in the northern New Jersey suburbs, when his father, an immigrant from Italy, sang Italian songs around the house. But putting vocals into his music has been only a half-formed idea.
"I've been hearing oohs and aahs and ees basically my whole life," he said. "But this time I took it to action. I was hearing it, and wondering what a song would sound like if we did it, wondering how it would come out."
To find out, Benevento brought in Klamia Traver, singer of the Brooklyn indie-dance group Rubblebucket. Benevento was pleased with the results. "I was jumping up and down in my studio, saying, 'Woo-hoo!'" he recalled. The two tracks – "Limbs of a Pine," a pounding, swirling piece of electro-funk, and the spacier "This Is How It Goes" – were good enough that Benevento decided to make them the two opening tunes on "Tiger Face."
The singing on "Tiger Face" doesn't end with Traver. Benevento adds his own voice to a chorus on "Limbs of a Pine" and "This Is How It Goes" and a third track, "Eagle Rock." It is the first time he has sung on a record, but it seems that Benevento was just loosening up his pipes. Recently, he was part of a group that did a re-creation of the Band's the Last Waltz, and the object seems to have been to copy the original as closely as possible: Like the Last Waltz, Benevento's show was played in San Francisco, on Thanksgiving. And Benevento, playing the role of keyboardist Dr. John, had to sing "Such a Night." He survived with his courage intact; last week, Benevento sang a version of "Are You Sleeping?" for a Harry Nilsson tribute album.
"But I do a lot of singing in my head," said Benevento, who plays a trio show, with bassist Dave Dreiwitz, of Ween, and drummer Andy Borger, who has played with Norah Jones and Tom Waits. "When I'm writing to get melodies, chord progressions, that comes out of my voice."
The primary reason Benevento hasn't focused much on his voice is that he has been occupied with putting his fingers to various keyboards – organs, acoustic pianos, toy pianos, electronic gizmos, mellotron and the like. (The credits on "Tiger Face" list 13 instruments that Benevento played, including the Baldwin FunMachine, a Clavioline, and a EMS VCS3.) He began with classical lessons at 7, and family sessions around the piano, to sing Beatles songs.
Benevento says he liked the classical piano lessons "for a little while" before he got into rock. At 15 he started his first band, playing covers of the Doors and the Who on organ and synthesizer for Sweet 16 parties at VFW halls. Also during his middle-school years, he played a few times with Joe Russo, a drummer who lived in the same town, Franklin Lakes, but attended a different school.
At Berklee, Benevento's interests exploded in multiple directions at once. He got into Debussy and Ravel, both composers from late-19th century France; pianist Brad Mehldau introduced him to Brahms. He got into the Hammond organ, and focused on that for several years. Joanne Brackeen, a Berklee teacher, guided him toward jazz improvisation.
"She whipped me into shape," Benevento said. "I could read, but she pushed me to the next level, got me doing things I didn't think I could do, really difficult solos that I thought were unattainable."
Coming out of school, Benevento started a reasonably traditional jazz trio. But settling in New York's progressive downtown scene tore up that plan. "I took a 180, crossed jazz with rock, and there I am, doing this mix that I do," he said. "I don't know if it happened accidentally or intentionally, but I strayed from the traditional jazz trio right away, as soon as I went to New York. All the people I was playing with were modern, experimental."
In 2002, his old friend Russo got a $100 a night gig Thursday nights at the Knitting Factory, in downtown Manhattan. Russo figured if he could play a duo rather than a trio, it would mean more money, and he invited Benevento to join him.
"We didn't have anything, any ideas," Benevento said. "But that seemed like my grocery money for a week."
After playing awhile, Benevento and Russo saw that a keyboard-drum duo, done with enough imagination, was musically viable. "We loved the challenge of it," Benevento said, "and just added more gear: a Wurlitzer, some circuit-bent toys. He added a drum pad and even got a keyboard for a while. We liked the limitations of it, liked figuring out how to write in that format."
Then Benevento started feeling a different kind of itch. "I just knew I wanted to get on the road. So I booked a tour out to California," he said. The Benevento/Russo Duo, built on improvisation, found itself in the jam-band world. They played at the big rock festivals and in 2006, the two joined forces with guitarist Trey Anastasio and bassist Mike Gordon, both from Phish, for a tour.
Several years ago, the Duo, as it was often known, faded away, after heavy touring and five albums. The two remain associated; Russo was part of the Last Waltz date in November. Off on his own Benevento has been remarkably prolific. His solo debut, from 2007, was a three-disc set, "Live at Tonic," recorded at a small New York club with numerous guests, including Gordon and Russo. It featured multiple sides of the keyboardist, as Benevento played tunes by Thelonious Monk and Benny Goodman, covered Pink Floyd's "Fearless" and Steve Winwood's "Gimme Some Lovin'," slammed through rock and showed off jazz chops.
Since then, Benevento has moved a bit toward the electronic and pop ends of the jazz spectrum, with the albums "Me Not Me" and "Between the Needles and Nightfall." He also plays in the hard-edged avant-jazz combo Garage a Trois; in the Led Zeppelin cover band Bustle in Your Hedgerow, in which Benevento covers Robert Plant's vocal lines on keyboards; and in Surprise Me Mr. Davis. "That's my traditional rock outfit right there, very Stonesesque, AC/DC-like sound," he said.
Right about now, Benevento is thinking about the next new horizon, of singing. "It's new territory, which is why it's attractive," he said. "It's become an option. People have said they want me to have more vocal tracks. Some people have said they want me to do more singing, in my own voice. I'm 1-A up for it. But I can't purposely do that – I can't force myself to write singing parts for myself."
If he does decide to pursue singing, fans can expect him to do it with exuberance. A Benevento trademark is a big, easy grin onstage; there are few players who express the joy of music so directly.
"When you finally get to the gig and start playing, it's the best thing ever," he explained. "There are so many things you have to get through to do the gig. It's cool seeing how my own music writing can be entertaining to people for two hours."

Hungary Roma restaurant eases prejudice through food
By Marton Dunai
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - If you thought the reproductive parts of swine couldn't come near the menu of a chic restaurant, think again.
For one recently opened eatery in the Hungarian capital the fallopian tube, for centuries only consumed by the country's Roma minority, is a delicacy indeed.
The restaurant, tucked away in a slowly gentrifying inner area of Budapest in a crumbling hundred-plus year-old building, goes by the name Romani Platni, meaning Roma Stove in the Romani language.
Part home restaurant, part social experiment, it is meant to open Roma kitchens to Hungarians, and open Hungarians to better understanding the ways of the Roma, who have been misunderstood and discriminated against for generations.
Strange intestines work wonders to challenge ingrained perceptions, says Sandor Orsos, 36, who leads the project.
"We have tried very hard to avoid stereotypes and cook like my grandmother used to," he said while preparing dinner for 16 recently. "You think people run screaming from the oviducts (fallopian tubes). But one group a while back came specifically for that dish."
So they got it. Ordered from a trusted butcher and stripped clean, the tubes were cooked with garlic, then chopped up into thumb-length bits, and fried with bacon until curly.
"It's as nutritious as pork gets, and it tastes exquisite," Orsos said. "Its consistency resembles chicken; I'm not much of a pork eater, but I like this dish a lot." Continued...

Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry to headline Lincoln Dinner
March 3, 2010
If you go
What: Routt County Republican Central Committee's annual Lincoln Dinner
When: Social hour from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, with the Yampa Valley Boys and a cash bar; dinner starts at 6:30 p.m.; speakers start at about 7 p.m.
Where: Steamboat Springs Community Center, west of downtown Steamboat on U.S. Highway 40
Tickets: The suggested donation is $25 for adults and $10 for students. Children younger than 5 are admitted free. Tickets can be bought at the door or in advance by calling former state Sen. Jack Taylor at 970-879-1880.
Steamboat Springs — State Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry will visit Steamboat Springs this weekend to headline a lengthy list of speakers at local Republicans' annual Lincoln Dinner.
The Routt County Republican Central Committee's fundraising event begins at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Steamboat Springs Community Center. Former state Sen. Jack Taylor, chairman of the committee, said a social hour featuring music by the Yampa Valley Boys and a cash bar will be followed by dinner at 6:30 with speakers beginning at about 7 p.m. An auction will close out the evening. The suggested donation is $25 for adults and $10 for students. Taylor said Steamboat Smokehouse will provide meat, and attendees are asked to bring side dishes for the "modified potluck" meal.
This is the Lincoln Dinner's second year at the Community Center, a change from the GOP's traditional venue of the Old Town Pub. Paul Strong, who assists with party finances, said the change was made to make the dinner more affordable. Tickets for dinners at Old Town Pub usually cost about $40, and the Community Center enables the GOP to charge less, Strong said.
Taylor said at least 12 candidates or representatives of candidates for local, state and national offices are slated to attend Saturday's event.
The list includes Perry Buck, wife of U.S. Senate candidate and Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck; Lori McInnis, wife of gubernatorial candidate and former Congressman Scott McInnis; congressional candidates Scott Tipton, of Cortez, who also is a state representative, and Bob McConnell, of Steamboat Springs; state treasurer candidates Walker Stapleton and J.J. Ament; and state Rep. Randy Baumgardner, of Hot Sulphur Springs, up for re-election this year.
"All of these people we're talking about will have a chance to speak," Taylor said.
He added that U.S. Senate candidate Tom Wiens and gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes could show up late, after a GOP event in Douglas County earlier Saturday. U.S. Senate candidate Jane Norton's campaign "is trying to figure out a way to get here, as well," Taylor said.
State Sen. Al White, of Hayden, who is not up for re-election this year, also is scheduled to attend the dinner.
Local candidates to attend include Routt County Clerk and Recorder Kay Weinland; Routt County Coroner Rob Ryg; Routt County Treasurer Jeanne Whiddon; and two Republican sheriff candidates, Routt County Rifle Club President David Smith and All Crimes Enforcement Team Cmdr. Garrett Wiggins.
Routt County Commissioner Nancy Stahoviak and 14th Judicial District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham are not up for re-election this year but are expected to attend Saturday.
Republican state Chairman Dick Wadhams and Penry are arguably the two highest-profile participants in Saturday's event. Penry, of Grand Junction, made headlines late last year by withdrawing from the governor's race, in which he likely would have faced Scott McInnis — his former employer, also from Grand Junction — in a primary.
"That would have been a difficult primary … it would have caused a lot of divided loyalties," Strong said.
Penry has been a strong critic of regulations on the oil and gas industry that took effect last year for environmental concerns and that some blame for a slowdown in drilling applications. The recession and dropping price of natural gas also are commonly considered factors in the industry's decline, which has disrupted economies across the Western Slope.
Taylor said federal spending and health care issues also would be hot topics Saturday.


text: Royal Dutch Shell plc is currently exploring together with the Depository how ADS holders might reclaim SDRT amounts deducted on previous issues under the Scrip Dividend Programme. Details will be made available as soon as possible on the dividend section of the Royal Dutch Shell plc website: http://www.shell.com/dividend.Scrip dividend programme RDS provides shareholders with a choice to receive dividends in cash or in shares via a Scrip Dividend Programme. Under the Programme shareholders can increase their shareholding in RDS by choosing to receive new shares instead of cash dividends if declared by RDS. Only new A Shares will be issued under the Programme, including to shareholders who currently hold B Shares. Joining the Programme may offer a tax advantage in some countries compared with receiving cash dividends. In particular, dividends paid out as shares will not be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (currently 15 per cent) and will not generally be taxed on receipt by a UK shareholder or a Dutch corporate shareholder. Shareholders who elect to join the Programme will increase the number of shares held in RDS without having to buy existing shares in the market, thereby avoiding associated dealing costs. Shareholders who do not join the Programme will continue to receive in cash any dividends declared by RDS. Shareholders who held only B shares and joined the Scrip Dividend Programme are reminded they will need to make a Scrip Dividend Election in respect of their new A shares if they wish to join the Programme in respect of such new shares. However, this is only necessary if the shareholder has not previously made a Scrip Dividend Election in respect of any new A shares issued. For further information on the Programme, including how to join if you are eligible, please refer to the appropriate publication available on http://www.shell.com/scrip. Contacts:

Excited to share their bundle of joy with the world, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski shared the first picture of their daughter Hazel.
"The Office" actor took to Twitter on Tuesday (May 13) to show off his little angel, and tweeted, "Pics of kids should only come direct from parents. So I'm thrilled to introduce you guys to Hazel!!! #NoKidsPolicy."
She has a successful movie career and a handsome leading man but Emily Blunt couldn't wait to finally become a mom.
In a pre-birth interview (daughter Hazel was born on February 16th) that appears in the April 2014 issue of Vogue, the "Adjustment Bureau" babe explained her thoughts on having a baby.
Ready to get back to work after giving birth to baby Hazel in February, Emily Blunt will star in the upcoming movie, "Sicario."
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the thriller follows an officer from Tucson, Arizona who ventures across the Mexican border with a pair of mercenaries to catch a drug lord.
They've been busy settling into parenthood as of late, and John Krasinski treated his lovely wife Emily Blunt to a delicious kid-free dinner in Hollywood on Thursday night (March 27).
The "Adjustment Bureau" babe looked to be enjoying her along time with her "Office" stud as they strolled up to a sushi restaurant and encountered a swarm of shutterbugs.
With a hot summer ahead, Warner Bros and Village Roadshow are offering up an exciting thrill ride starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.
In the newly-released trailer, "Edge of Tomorrow" looks to be a fast-paced sci-fi flick with plenty of additional star power thanks to Bill Paxton, Jeremy Piven, Ciaran Hinds, and Charlotte Riley.
Welcoming in a lovely baby girl this weekend, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are brand new parents!
Bringing their little one into the world on Sunday (February 16), the celebrity couple named her Hazel.
Enjoying a moment with her little one before heading in for a meeting, Emily Blunt cradled her baby bump outside an office in Beverly Hills on Tuesday (February 4).
The "Devil Wears Prada" star looked cute in a striped top, blue scarf, black pants, and sandals as she leaned against a brick wall.
Kicking off their day with a quick sweat session, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski hit the gym in Los Angeles on Thursday (January 30).
The "Office" star wore a zip up gray jacket with black shorts as he and his pregnant wife made their way inside the busy building.

Charlie Weis has accepted an offer to become the offensive coordinator at Florida, according to a story by The Associated Press. An announcement is expected Monday.
The hiring of Weis, a former offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots and currently with the Kansas City Chiefs, fills the desire of new Gators coach Will Muschamp to install a pro-style offense next season.
Weis will stay with the team through the playoffs, which begin next weekend. Weis won't go on the road recruiting at least for a week, but he will be to call recruits.
The move seems surprising given that impact Weis has had on the Chiefs in his one season with the team. Matt Cassel has thrown for 27 touchdowns and just five interceptions and the running game leads the NFL in yards per game.
However, Weis' son reportedly is set to enroll at Florida and work with Muschamp. Charlie Weis Jr. had originally planned to go to Texas before Muschamp left for Gainesville.
Weis was coach of Notre Dame for five seasons from 2005-09 and had a 35-27 record with two BCS bowl appearances while tutoring Brady Quinn and Jimmy Clausen.

But in an 18 page decision handed down Thursday by the 5th District Court of Appeal in California, the appellate judges said that while the law could have been written more clearly, it was obvious that it was not intended to cover those using their phone as a map. The law cited by the officer who ticketed Spriggs states that drivers can not use their phone for talking or listening while driving.
So don't worry next time you need to use a mapping app while driving in the state of California. The law, as of now, is on your side.

Allow me to introduce to you the FilthyGang! One of the 1st groups other than the KoolKluxKlan that we will be working with this summer. Overtime you guys will learn more about each individual artist but for now all you need to know is that this is a group of young and talented, trippy, lyrical, swagg rappers. With this single (entitled Living While I'm Living) they used their talents on a west coast style beat that will definitely have you wanting to ride in a 64 impala or chill on the porch with a 40 and play some dominoes and cards with beautiful women surrounding you lol. But enough talking, go and download now!
Isn't this week great!? Mixtape releases from 2 different Klan members "BUMS" from avi and now we present to you "ORIGAMI, Written and Narrated by Chick Gaynor". Download and enjoy these smooth sounds.
So the young homie Avionadramida slid this to me earlier today in my DM's, I took a listen and was impressed. The production on this tape is different which makes it great. Now go and download "BUMS" and get some greatness in your ears – DJStiffler
So the talented young man Matt drops another one for us that he says he's been "holding in the vault for a while now". Let's just be thankful he didn't keep it away from us forever. If you hear something a lil different about the track don't worry, it's just his alter ego Shadrach Da Gawd screwing things up a bit….

Juliet set up Unite[e] (which became Good Energy) in 1999. Juliet's unerring commitment to innovation has positioned her as an authoritative figure in the UK energy industry. This passion goes beyond solely ensuring the success of her business. She regularly meets with politicians to put the case for an energy policy which will support the growth of renewables. Her recent appointment as an OBE for services to renewable electricity is a testament to her longstanding commitment to the industry and the change she has affected.

Some music enthusiasts and critics alike believe the band Death to be the precursors to punk rock. Jack White is quoted as describing them as "ahead of punk and ahead of their time." Mos Def says, "These dudes were pre-Sex Pistols, pre-Bad Brains, pre-all that shit, and nobody knows about them. I don't understand how the world could forget them."
The documentary A Band Called Death tells the story of a Detroit band made up of three brothers who pursue a record deal to no avail. Despite interests from big wig Clive Davis, who insited that the band change their name for broader appeal, the group refused and was never signed to a deal. Their demo tapes were boxed away and placed in an attic to be forgotten. Three decades later, a demo tape made its way out of the attic and into the ears of an audience several generations younger.
In 2009, Drag City Records released a 7-song LP entitled ...For The Whole World To See. Soon after, a reformed Death took to the stage, almost 30 years after they formed.

Everyone has been in a panic this week over America's impending fiscal collapse, but I think the reality is that America does not face an immediate debt crisis. Take a look at the simplest indicator, the day that Standard & Poor's raised its now famous warnings about America's debt, markets decided to lower America's borrowing costs and the dollar rose against its principal alternative, the euro.
The real problem for America may well be that it does not face a short-term crisis. Over the last few years, everyone has been worrying about America's debt, and despite all that public worrying, markets keep lowering the rates at which we can borrow money.
via Fareed's Take on America's debt crisis: why no problem is the problem – Global Public Square – CNN.com Blogs.
Anyone want to take a stab at this one?

Those with a few years under their belts, or a penchant for reruns, may recall "Fantasy Island," a popular TV serial of the late '70s that featured Ricardo Montalban as the tall and distinguished "Boss" and his faithful sidekick "Tattoo." The concept for the series revolved around individuals who flew into a tropical island where, wonder of wonders, their wildest fantasies could come true. Last week, thanks to the latest release of Republican party policy statements, "Fantasy Island" came to Montana.
In Montana's adaptation of the show, Rep. Roy Brown, R-Billings, plays "The Boss," ably assisted by his smaller but feisty counterpart, Sen. Cory Stapleton, another Billings Republican. Every segment of the original TV show started with the same scene—The Boss and Tattoo are waiting by the airstrip for the next arrival when suddenly Tattoo points to the sky and crying "Boss, da' plane, da' plane." When the jet lands, the door swings open and none other than former Speaker of the House John Mercer, now chairman of the Board of Regents, comes walking down the stairs to seek his fantasy.
The fantasy, which was released last week under the almost laughable "Handshake with Montana" rubric, entails the Republicans' plan for the future should, as Stapleton said, "Montanans return us to majorities in the Montana House and the Montana Senate."
The plan, as elucidated by Rep. Brown, promises: "Smaller government, lower taxes, stronger families, higher wages, and greater freedoms." In more detail, that would mean lowering property taxes by 8 percent, repealing a water tax that is being used to fund the state's water adjudication program, more energy and natural-resource development, lowering college tuition, and more money for education and health care.
For Montanans who only recently came to the state, such promises of what the Republicans would do if only they were in charge again must sound absolutely fantastic. In fact, when you look at what really happened during the 16 years of Republican domination of Montana's governor's office and Legislature, "fantastic" is an exceedingly apt term.
Starting with Stan Stephens' ascent to the governor's office in 1989, the Republican agenda was clear. Right out of the chute, Stephens tried to literally dismantle government. Unfortunately for his plans, throughout his one-term stay in the Capitol he faced a split Legislature, in which Democrats controlled at least one house and repeatedly foiled his efforts.
Marc Racicot, however, was not so unfortunate. In '93, when Racicot took over the governor's office, the Republicans had already taken control of the House of Representatives, with John Mercer as Speaker. Two years later, the Repubs held two-thirds majorities in both the House and Senate and their agenda rolled on unimpeded.
That agenda, far from the latest fantasy version, was nothing but ugly. The 1995 session saw the total gutting of Montana's once-famous non-degradation policy for state waters. Instead of protecting our water quality for future generations, the Repubs bowed to the pressures of the mining, agriculture, and real estate industries to allow pollution of both surface and groundwater by using such dubious measures as "mixing zones," where pollutants would "mix" with clean water and be diluted to the levels required by federal standards.
But trashing the environment was just the beginning. Under Mercer's leadership, the Legislature turned on the state's educational system and significantly reduced state funding. In real terms, what this accomplished was two-fold, neither of which fits in with the new fantasy policies promised last week. By reducing state funding, school districts were forced to turn to property taxes for their revenue. As any Montanan who owns a home can tell you, that little move has caused property taxes to soar over the last decade. Now, especially in the growing areas of the state, outrageous property taxes threaten to drive low or fixed-income Montanans from their homes.
Second, the reduction of state support for higher education caused tuition costs to skyrocket. In the last 10 years of Republican control of state government, state support of the university system fell to 37 percent while tuition picked up a whopping 63 percent of the cost. Now, Montana's students can easily come out of college with loan burdens of $20,000 or more—which is a tremendous debt on a young person just starting out, and a significant barrier to starting a family, buying a home, or enjoying the "freedom" promised in the latest Republican fantasy.
In large part these funding cutbacks were not caused by state revenue shortfalls during the booming '90s, but by the Republican penchant for shifting taxes off the wealthy and large corporations and onto the backs of ordinary citizens. The Montana Department of Revenue estimates that Continental Oil Co. of Houston, Texas, was able to save about $1.3 million in 2000 alone thanks to the Republican tax giveaways, while Exxon slipped away with almost a million. Our old friends at ASARCO—the responsible "corporate partners" that have left the state with tens of millions in toxic cleanup costs—got off with $400,000, while Cenex saved a clean $592,847.
But where does John Mercer step into the picture? Well, Mercer admitted last week that he has had a conversion regarding his former outlook for University System funding. "I was one of the most conservative members of the Legislature," Mercer told reporters. "To bare my own soul, my objective was to give the university system as little as possible so there would be money for other things."
But one must ask: If Mercer's decidedly "conservative" Republican counterparts were returned to their legislative majorities of the past—replete with their long-standing political ideologies and tax policies—how would it be possible to lower taxes and increase education, let alone health-care, spending?
The answer is they can't and won't. No one can consistently cut revenue while increasing spending. Unfortunately, the latest Republican promises could only come true in one place—Fantasy Island.

Nine months have passed since President Bush and Secretary of State Condi Rice convened a meeting at Annapolis which allegedly was supposed to hammer out a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Words were spoken, meetings held in which both sides postured and planted invisible lines in the sand beyond which they would not go, and, in the end, as all political analysts predicted, nothing was ever accomplished. Secretary of State Rice is once again winging her way to Jerusalem in hope of getting some sort of agreement so the Bush administration, prior to leaving office, can claim credit for some sort of Middle Eastern agreement. Both sides have significant differing views about Jerusalem and the West Bank which relate to the final boundary lines of a Palestinian state.
John McCain would love going into the campaign being able to tell Jewish voters the Republican party accomplished something in the way of dealing with Israel's problems.
The reality is Prime Minister Olmert is stepping down under a cloud of suspicion about dealing with charges of corruption. Foreign Minister Livni, who hopes to succeed him, is in no way ready to grant anything substantive to the Palestinians while she strives to become the new prime minister, and President Abbas is determined to obtain certain goals related to the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Rice is under heavy attack for her inept performance in the Georgia crisis where she came across as lost and without any sensible ideas. She wants some figment of success before she heads home. Unfortunately, Rice will leave Jerusalem as she arrived — no deal.
