New England will host the Brazilian club at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, June 13
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution today announced that the team will play Brazilian powerhouse Cruzeiro Esporte Clube on Sunday, June 13, at Gillette Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
Cruzeiro, founded in 1921, is one of the most popular teams in Brazil. Playing in the Campeonato Mineiro, Cruziero has won 36 championships, including the 2008 and 2009 titles. The club has also won two Copa Libertadores titles, two Supercopa Sudamericana titles, one Recopa Sudamericana championship, one Copa Oro and one Supercopa Masters. In 2009, Cruzeiro earned a runner-up finish in the Copa Libertadores.
Cruzeiro, which is acclaimed for its player development system, boasts a current roster that features such Brazilian stars as Gilberto, Roger, Kleber and Fábio. The club's trip to the U.S. comes during the 2010 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A season.
In 2009, the International Federation of Football History and Statistics named Cruzeiro the top team in Brazil. Cruzeiro plays its home matches at the historic Mineirão, the largest stadium in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, and the second-largest in all of Brazil.
"We are very excited to bring Cruzeiro to Gillette Stadium," Revolution Vice President of Business Development Craig Tornberg said. "Not only is Cruzeiro one of South America's top teams, but there is a tremendous Brazilian population in the New England area that hails from the Minais Gerais region of the country, and also claims Cruzeiro as their club and follow them from afar. We expect a tremendous atmosphere for this match, and look forward to welcoming Cruzeiro to New England."
Tickets to the match are included in the 2010 season ticket packages as Special Event B. Season Ticket Holders will have access to a special pre-sale, which will begin on Monday, May 3, at 10 a.m. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, May 6.

Mr. Speaker, just as the NDP predicted, the Conservatives' cuts to Veterans Affairs Canada are going to significantly reduce the services provided to the men and women who have bravely served this country. We are talking about the most significant change to that department in Canadian history, with over 800 full-time jobs being eliminated.
At a time when 35,000 soldiers who served in Afghanistan will be eligible for these services, why are the Conservatives so determined to take these resources away from our courageous soldiers?

Greg dubbed "The Billionaire Beagle Boys Club" "DuckTales: The Abridged Series," and there sure does seem to be a lot of old ground being plowed here. Not that there's anything wrong with giving shout-outs to past ideas. The problem is that the ep seems to gets its "messages from the past" garbled more often than not. Start with the basic premise, that of "poor" Scrooge and his family being forced to leave McDuck Mansion in the hands of a spendthrift adversary. Ken Koonce and David Weimers no doubt had memories of their "masterful" (*cough*) handling of the same theme in "Down and Out in Duckburg" animating them as they worked on this spiritual sequel. Unfortunately, to mangle a common metaphor, they overlooked a nearby tree while looking back at the in-the-past forest. "Time is Money" used the exact same notion of Scrooge being separated from contact with his Money Bin... and, while its handling of the situation was anything but ideal, it did acknowledge that Scrooge had some other sources of income from which to get the money to pay off Glomgold. Here, once Scrooge has been served with foreclosure (as if he wouldn't have paid off the Mansion long before this!) and has been obliged to sell out to "motivated buyer" Ma Beagle, he and his retinue are rendered well and truly busted, forced to bunk with Launchpad. (I guess the reticence Scrooge felt about asking LP for help in "Down and Out in Duckburg" is a thing of the past.) GeoX is right -- the exact disbursement of Scrooge's fortune has always been somewhat fuzzy -- but you honestly can't avoid "dinging" this episode for inconsistency, considering that the previous story arc provided a scenario that flatly contradicts this one.
The Case of the Sticky Money" (UNCLE $CROOGE #42, May 1963), a story that may well have been consulted here for a reason I'll amplify below. Having created a surreptitious way of stealing a little of Scrooge's fortune at a time, the Beagles of "Sticky Money" tape the equivalent of a "SUSPECT ME" sign to their collective cans and practice the most ludicrous sorts of "conspicuous consumption" for all the world (including an appalled Scrooge) to see. The Beagles are so obviously guilty of some kind of "ultra-grand theft" that Barks doesn't even bother to hold the reader in suspense, instead revealing the truth well before the final pages. The Beagles' behavior in "Sticky Money" is the four-color equivalent of, let us say, hiding your ill-gotten gains in the middle of Duckburg inside a flimsily disguised "doughnut factory." (Even if you buy the notion that the citizens of Duckburg are stupid or blind enough not to notice the obvious presence of the Bin, there's still the question of how the Beagles managed to drive the Bin from Ma's country place into town with no one noticing.)
not one, but two, posts rallying to the defense of "Duck in the Iron Mask"! The odd thing is that HD&L have more of a justification for getting themselves mixed up when they are dressed in identical commando outfits...
Pearl of Wisdom" and extending all the way through to (sorry, Greg) Quack Pack's "Feats of Clay," "BBBC" represents one of the boys' more impressive efforts in the role. They were in more actual physical peril during the infiltration of the Money Bin in DuckTales: The Movie (1990), but they showed a good deal of resourceful improvisation while trying to evade the Beagles, including imitating stuffed toys, riding the dumbwaiter (aka "The Nephew Emergency Escape Elevator") as they did in "Till Nephews Do Us Part," and even channeling the "playing 'aircraft carrier' moment" from "Don't Give Up the Ship" by sliding through and out of the Mansion on a dessert trolley.
Jymn Magon, Koonce and Weimers use the nouveau riche Beagles' "society party" as an excuse to trot out characters and other notions from "The Status Seekers." Actually, this rerun works reasonably well, all things considered, despite the painfully unfunny disguises that Scrooge uses when trying to crash the party. In fact, one could almost say that it works too well. The scenes in which Ma Beagle threatens the Mayor, John D. Rockefeather, Mrs. Pedigree, Lady De Lardo, and other worthies with dire consequences if they don't do exactly what she wants are some of the most depressing scenes of the series. I know that the authority figures of DuckTales are rarely given the chance to display mere competence, let alone courage, but standing silent in the face of blatant extortion is a cringe too far. Barks himself was rarely that cynical. The police chief's arrest of Scrooge at the end of Act Two is simply the final nail in the coffin of what remains of Duckburg's civic integrity. After these craven displays, is it any wonder that the Beagles are successful in their efforts to pack the jury for Scrooge's sham trial?
Migrating Millions" would ever be put to such uses as this. You could argue that the Bin-carrier should have caused more damage to the streets and buildings than it did, but the totaling of Scrooge's limousine helps make up for the comparative lack of collateral destruction.
the legendary battle of Fort Duckburg). However, there is some question as to how effectively the Bin-sinking sets up what is to come next. It is clear that the Bin doesn't sink all that far off shore, and the location of its sinking is easily visible, so why does everyone, including Scrooge, Launchpad, and Gizmoduck, subsequently search for it as if it were a long-lost sunken treasure? One might argue that the "big machine" could have rolled the Bin some distance away from its original underwater landing spot, but that would make sense only if the "machine"'s motor continued to run, and it's highly unlikely that it would do so. Ultimately, the only reason that the salvage sequence goes on as long as it does is because the aliens need time to fly onto the scene, spot the Bin, and take it away. Whatever floats your Bin, Ken and Dave...
You'd probably have to ask the "dear old Dad" who married her (and presumably died or disappeared at some point, perhaps because he was weary from siring all those Beagle offspring).
(GeoX) Even assuming that the tour guide is somehow empowered to sell Ma Beagle the Venus de Milo equivalent, it would sure as hell have to be be for a lot more than four hundred thousand dollars. Some Ducktales writer that we could name if we could be bothered to look up his or her name is wholly unfamiliar with the world of art collecting.
It isn't just the "Venus Dog Milo"; all of the prices in this episode seem a bit wonky. Scrooge's mansion selling for "only" $150 million? I can imagine it commanding far more than that, even given that the sale is an emergency sale. Then again, I might be projecting my vision of the Rich Mansion -- which has so many rooms that people have to literally mount expeditions to find some of them -- onto Scrooge's place, which would probably be a bit more modest, befitting its owner. (Scrooge makes a passing reference in "Till Nephews Do Us Part" to the fact that his Mansion has 42 rooms, which is a pittance compared to the Riches' massive manse.) Whatever the "fair" price of McDuck Mansion might be, one must wonder to whom the proceeds of the sale are going. If all or part of them went to Scrooge, then wouldn't he have enough money to avoid having to go live with Launchpad? Or did the bank take all the money to pay off the Mansion? K&W never make this clear.
Yeah, unless he's some sort of amateur contortionist, that scene below would appear to be physically impossible. But then, he's RICH! He can do ANYTHING!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!
I wouldn't call Scrooge's recognition of the "Spamway" money "sentimental," though Alan Young's line-reading certainly suggests that it is. Scrooge's wistful remembrance of a successful past business venture is very much in character, and he probably would have evinced the same reaction had the money been made in some other enterprise.
(Greg) We begin this one as the Money Bin on a tow truck appears with Ma and Me[ga]byte. Okay; I see an obvious logic break here: Why are the original Beagle Boys here? Shouldn't they be in jail?
I presume that they were among the escapees when Megabyte's wire gizmo opened all the cell doors in "Full Metal Duck." It would probably be too much to expect the Duckburg authorities to distribute the incarcerated Beagles to several prisons so that they couldn't, you know, cooperate to escape.
(Greg) Four furries... are listening to the pig furry sales lady from Cash As Catch Can part one ["A Drain on the Economy"] as she explains the duck statue which has its arms cut off.
She also appeared as a realtor in "Magica's Shadow War." I wonder why she wasn't used as the "Coldnose Banker Realty" representative here -- that would have made for some neat continuity. Joan Gerber uses a different voice for the character here than she did in "Shadow War," just as she altered Lady De Lardo's voice from its form in "The Status Seekers."
(Greg) The nephews are cornered right next to the conveniently placed dumb waiter and they open it and go downstairs.
Pretty decent continuity here -- not only is the dumbwaiter reused, but its non-kitchen end is still in the same relative place (the upstairs hallway). The kitchen egress isn't quite the same, and the dumbwaiter in "BBBC" has three compartments rather than one, but you can't have everything.
The firing was indeed cut. No real surprise there, I suppose, given what was done in "Liquid Assets." At least the excision played much less havoc with the plot in this case.
The sight of the toy Gizmoduck reminds me a bit of the toy Armstrong... but the toy Gizmo is used for more than just a sight gag. It sure didn't take long for someone (I'm guessing McDuck Enterprises) to start producing those Gizmoduck toys, did it?
Actually, they behave more like water cannons. Given that Gizmoduck is armor-plated and probably able to withstand "mere" bullets, the use of a water weapon makes a twisted sort of sense. Incidentally, I don't see any contradiction between this scene and the later scene in which Gizmoduck admits a weakness against water. There's a legitimate difference between being knocked down by a blast of water (which I presume the guards were trying to do to Gizmo) and submerging oneself in the ocean.
(Greg) The motorcycle and Gizmo Duck run beside the tow-dozer as the motorcycle [driver] blows off Mrs. Beakly's weight with the best thinly veiled fat joke in the history of DTVA.
Next: Episode 75, "Super DuckTales, Part Five: Money to Burn."

If you had told a 14-year-old Burke Masters that he was going to be a Catholic priest, he might not have laughed so much as asked if you were feeling well. Masters was going to be a baseball player, and besides, he wasn't Catholic.
It wasn't that he didn't know priests. He was a freshman at Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, Illinois, a school he chose for two reasons: academics and baseball. But Masters — now Father Masters — had been raised in a home that was filled with Christian values but with parents who did not want to force their children into any particular church.
For the next several years, it looked like his plans would come to fruition. He won NCAA academic honors playing baseball at Mississippi State, where he once went 6 for 6 and hit a ninth-inning grand slam to win an NCAA regional game and appeared in a College World Series.
He went undrafted but played briefly in the White Sox organization in Utica, New York. He eventually switched his dream to running a major-league club instead of playing for one. He started in the front office of the Kane County Cougars, a minor-league team west of Chicago.
But all along, there were signs. By the time he graduated from high school, he had become Catholic, and he took his faith seriously.
During his time at Providence, a religion teacher told him he was looking for something and recommended that he read the Gospel of Matthew. "It wasn't something I was looking for, it was someone," he said. "And that was really my introduction of the Gospel of Matthew."
He learned about the Catholic faith at school and sat and watched and listened at school Masses. He accidentally received his first Communion at a retreat — the group was small, and when the priest approached Masters with the host, he opened his mouth to explain that he wasn't Catholic. The priest thought he opened his mouth to receive the host and placed it on his tongue.
That experience made him think again about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, Father Masters said.
"I learned about it in school, and I thought it was nice in theory, but not reality," he said. "But when I received that host, it wasn't just bread. There was definitely more going on."
He went home and told his parents he wanted to become Catholic, and they told him to take a year to think and learn, and if he still wanted to, he could enter the Church when he was 18.
On May 26, 1985, he was baptized, received his second holy Communion and was confirmed in the chapel of his high school.
Nine years later, at 27, his girlfriend brought him to Eucharistic adoration for the first time. "I had never heard of adoration before," he said.
But it was at adoration when he started having persistent thoughts about being called to the priesthood.
"I didn't want to do it," he said. "I fought with God. I said, 'You're going to have to make this clear.' So people started coming up to me and saying, 'Have you ever thought about becoming a priest?'"
After a long talk with his girlfriend, he decided to enter the seminary to "get God off my back."
He entered the seminary in the fall of 1997 and was ordained in 2002. He served as a parish priest for four years and then began working in the vocation office for the Diocese of Joliet, Illinois, where he is now the director.
He meets with young men who come and say, "I can't get priesthood out of my mind," and he tells them his story. He tells them to pay attention if "God is gently, persistently calling them" and offers some tips on discernment and finding a spiritual director.
And the girlfriend he had to break things off with to enter the seminary? The second wedding he celebrated after he was ordained was hers, to his best friend.
As for baseball aspirations, it would seem God covered that base too. He keeps contact with the game by serving as chaplain for the Chicago Cubs.
Looking back, he said, it seems apparent that he was being led along a path to the priesthood. But while he was on the journey, the way was anything but clear.
"Looking back on it, I just kind of shake my head and smile," Father Masters said. "There definitely was confusion about whether I was called to marriage or the priesthood. But it's all God's providence."
Michelle Martin writes from Illinois.

Drones: Tough talk, little scrutiny
From the way senators talked about the drone program at the John Brennan hearing Thursday, you'd think Congress has been hauling in White House officials to explain the program in the light of day again and again.
But Congress' public oversight of targeted killings has been almost nonexistent. The last hearings on the drone strikes — held by a House national security subcommittee — faded away after the early months of 2010.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Right wing calls hypocrisy on drones)
And until Thursday's Brennan hearing, the two committees with jurisdiction over the CIA drone program — the Senate and House Intelligence Committees — have never held a public inquiry on the program. The Senate and House Armed Services Committees, which oversee the military drone program in war zones, haven't held hearings, either.
Senior members of Congress insist they are briefed on strikes, but that only happens after a strike — behind closed doors, far from public view.
In addition, lawmakers and congressional leaders with the authority to investigate won't say if they've given the program greater scrutiny in private, so whatever questions have been asked aren't part of the public record.
That's angered a small band of senators — mostly liberals, but a few Republicans too — who have complained for years that the program exists only in the shadows.
( Also on POLITICO: 4 takeaways from John Brennan's grilling)
So while it's big news this week that the White House turned over classified legal opinions that justify using drone strikes to kill Americans abroad, it's not clear that the revelation marks a new day for drone oversight.
In fact, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that Congress will return to status quo, as the Hill often does after a brief moment of interest in a headline-grabbing national security program like the eavesdropping program under President George W. Bush.
Just look at what some of the overseers say about the strikes and the idea that Congress should try to second-guess them.
"The idea of having 535 commanders in chief decide the target is ridiculous," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a member of the Armed Services Committee, who plans to introduce a resolution next week supporting the drone strike program. "It should reside with the commander in chief to decide who is an enemy combatant."
( Also on POLITICO: Senate pounds Brennan on CIA 'trust deficit')
Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, says he's fine with the drone strikes even though he was one of the lawmakers calling on the Obama administration to release the legal opinions.
"This has been a huge value-added in disrupting al Qaeda events. And guess what? Sometimes Americans have joined that organization to kill Americans. That's their choice, not ours," Rogers said in an interview on MSNBC Wednesday.
Even Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, sounds at times like one of the drone program's biggest defenders. At Thursday's hearing, she did push Brennan for help getting eight other legal opinions on the program. But what was Feinstein's main complaint about the classification rules? They're preventing her from talking about how low the civilian casualties are.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), one of the senators who led the push to get the legal opinion, suggested at Thursday's hearing that the senators had been stiffed — that the Justice Department hadn't actually given the intelligence committees all of the legal opinions after all.

My first impression:
I generally test a camera out on my cat: willing subject who doesn't mind a camera stuck in her face. But most importantly she is jet black with white paws and a white belly and she sleeps on a white towel.
Wow! The D200 handles the white and black areas better than any camera I've had. I can see more detail in her paws and her black coat than I have seen in a digital camera. On top of that, some of the pink in her skin shows through the fur on her paws. And this with just the pop up flash. I'll try the SB800 later.
Ike, get crackin' on that housing, LOL!

Peter the impatient.
Posted 20 December 2005 - 10:02 AM
Nikon is required by law to send at least ONE camera to every dealer in the USA. Most get very very few cameras in the first shipment.
Yes, I got an email from the store explainging that's exactly what happened.
I'm just being impatient and need to suck it up and wait my turn.
btw. Great customer service from Underwater Photo-Tech!
From what is being written about the added bulk of the D200 body I can't imagine how it would work in a D100 housing. The tolerances on my Light and Motion D100 housing seem very tight.
Posted 20 December 2005 - 11:30 AM
Posted 20 December 2005 - 12:25 PM
D-200 camera installation is easy, but finding room to install the iTTL conversion circuitry with its push buttons and LEDs is proving to be a problem..........
How about a non-TTL version first... I bet it would sell a lot, especially with no other D200 housings to compete with.

Mayor Don Wesely said today that proposed standards for building in floodplains would reduce future flooding threats and be a long-term, sustainable approach to managing floodplains while continuing growth. The proposed standards are recommended in the final report of the Mayorĺs Floodplain Task Force released today.
ôTraditional development in floodplains increases the risk of flooding along streams throughout the entire community,ö said Mayor Wesely. ôFlooding can cause millions of dollars in damages. These proposed new standards are designed to make our community safer. At the same time, this report recognizes the importance of long-term economic development and the interests of the business community, environmentalists and neighborhoods. This was not an easy assignment, and I want to thank the members of the Floodplain Task Force for their hard work on this issue.ö
The City began to assess the impact of floodplain development in late 2000. The number of permits issued for commercial buildings and fill in the floodplain increased substantially from 1995 to 2000, especially from 1998 to 2000 when the number tripled. The City and the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District (NRD) contracted with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to study the impact of floodplain development and to evaluate alternatives for new regulations.
In the summer of 2001, Mayor Wesely appointed the Floodplain Task Force, representing a broad cross-section of community interests to formulate recommendations on new floodplain standards. The City and the Lower Platte South NRD provided staffing and funding for the technical studies.
The Task Force made recommendations for both new growth areas and existing urban areas. The recommendations include:
Members of the Floodplain Task Force are:

Mail order tsoureki: kaló páscha
The recipe is based on two Paul Hollywood's recipes - one from his book 100 Great Breads and another from UKTV Food. I keep having problems with Hollywood's recipes and I'm not sure they have been double-checked properly by the pastry chef himself. His recipe for mint & halloumi bread seemed also a bit awkward, though the bread I ended up baking was delicious. His two tsoureki recipes are even more confusing. The only constant seems to be the amount of flour (500 grams) - the amount and list of other ingredients vary rather wildly. Hollywood cannot really decide whether he wants 2 eggs in his tsoureki or none, whether to use 30 grams of dried yeast (!!!) or 15 grams of fresh (it should be other way around, surely!?). And adding 15 grams of salt to 500 grams of flour seems also a wee bit too generous. I want my guests to come back for more, so I've tweaked the recipes accordingly.
For example, I've omitted the raisins altogether, as according to my Greek sources there should be none in a tsoureki (raisins may be a Cypriot twist). I've reduced the amount of salt and butter. I didn't use the red eggs that are traditionally used to decorate tsoureki - although this is strictly necessary only if you eat the tsoureki on the Easter Sunday. This time I also managed to get hold of mastic and mechlebe - two new spices in my kitchen. Although I don't know how to describe them, they did give a very pleasant and unusual flavour to the end product. You should be able to find them from health food shops or shops specialising in Greek and Middle Eastern produce.
But definitely one beautiful sweet bread.
Greek Easter bread TSOUREKI
(Kreeka lihavõttesai "tsoureki")
Makes one large plaited loaf
500 grams strong white flour
75 grams golden caster sugar
50 grams softened butter
1 large orange, zested
0.5 tsp salt
a pinch of mechlebe (sour cherry pits - about 10), pounded finely
a pinch of gum mastic (ca 2 pieces), pounded finely
a generous pinch of ground cinnamon
1 egg
25 grams fresh yeast
150 ml lukewarm water
150 ml lukewarm milk
For brushing:
1 egg, beaten
Mix the flour, sugar, salt, orange zest, cinnamon, gum mastic and mechlepi and soft butter in a large bowl. Crumble the butter into the dry ingredients.
Mix the fresh yeast with a small amount of lukewarm water until combined, add to the dough.
Add the egg, lukewarm milk and water and mix everything together with your hands.
Dip the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until the dough doesn't stick to your hands anymore (you may have to add some more flour).
Put the kneaded dough back into the bowl, sprinkle with some flour and cover with a clean kitchen towel.
Leave to rise for one hour in a warm place, until the dough has doubled in size.
[Or, if you insist, leave to rise at room temperature, go for a cocktail with friends at Dragonfly @ Grassmarket and then for a meal at Hanam's, a new Kurdish & Middle Eastern restaurant @ Tollcross. Return 4 hours later and continue].
Knock the dough down and dip onto a slightly floured surface again and divide into three. Roll each dough piece into a long strip and plait the strips together. Lift onto a large baking sheet and leave to rise for an hour, until doubled in size again.
Brush with beaten egg and bake in the middle of 200˚C oven for 25-30 minutes, until tsoureki is nice and golden brown.

Aren't food blogs the greatest? Just yesterday for the first time ever I saw a reference to mahlab / mahleb (at Welcome to My Pantry) but found few/mostly no other references. NOW, today, here's yours, Pille! Amazing!

You mean that you didn't get to eat any of it?
It looks beautiful - that's a lovely colour of glaze - is that partly the sugar in the dough caramelising I wonder?
How was Hanams? We're planning a trip some time this next week . . .

Hi, Pille. Looks really authentic. I adore this bun, you can see them in every patisserie in Istanbul. I used to eat them a lot in my uni years as my lunch. We call them "paskalya coregi(buns)" But they includes only mahlep as flavouring, no zest and mastic.Here I use my bread-maker for the dough, amounts are perfect for it.But I add more sugar and almond flakes after egg wash..

interesting spices (not that I have hear ed of them before) What do they taste like?
And if I was ever to buy them would they languish in the back of the cupboard or are there other uses?

Thanks so much musi! It was amazing!:)
Happy easter to everyone,
kalo pasxa (in greeklish)!

Ak - I hadn't heard about these spices until about a year ago either, but then traced some down in London last summer. And re: spelling - Hollywood uses no less than three different spellings - meclebe, mechlebe, methlepi - in one book:)
Amy - I made 4 small buns - two for myself and two for the courier, and thoroughly enjoyed the taste.
Hanam's was a very nice place for a casual weeknight meal. We all had the set mushakal meal, and decided that bayengaan (starter), bamya & chicken Biryani (mains) were especially nice. BYOB, as they're not licensed.
Re: the lovely golden hue of the bread is due to the eggwash, as well as the orange zest in the dough. I used one very humongous orange, so there was lots of zest!
Betul, thanks! I was too young and ignorant to look for paskalya coregi in Istanbul back in 1993. Will definitely try the Turkish version next time. It's interesting to learn about the subtle differences in the Turkish, Greek and Cypriot versions of tsoureki..
Andrew - their flavour & aroma are distinct but very difficult to describe - it's something you have to sniff yourself:) I'm sure you'd use them up little by little, so they wouldn't languish in your cupboard for too long. Keiko has recently written about ice cream using gum mastic, Betul posted about gum mastic preserve etc. I have bookmarked quite a few Middle Eastern & Greek recipes for puddings and baked goods, so I'll be surely exploring these spices on my blog soon again. So come back soon!
Ulla - thank you for your kind words. It tasted rather good, too, at least the small bun I baked for myself..
Valentina - please report back if you do decide to make it!
Zoubida - thank you, it was yummy indeed. Too bad I didn't get to eat more of it:)
The lucky one - you deserved it, and I'm glad you liked it:) I do find it difficult to believe though that you finished it in 15 minutes - it was huge!!!
- 12:54 am, April 25, 2006
- amyjames said...
Thanks for the Hanams review.
I'll let you know what we think after we make our visit.
I'm glad you got to consume some of your creation . . .

- Chloe said...
this looks like the real thing exactly!
and you are right about raisins. in Thesaloniki they use them sometimes (eg in the tsoureki i had this pasxa) but i don't particularly like them in my tsoureki because they spoil the chewy texture. xxx well done!
- 11:57 am, May 01, 2006
- Pille said...
Amyjames - my pleasure!
Chloe - thank you!! Well, from now on, my tsoureki will never have raisins in them again:) My Greek 'samplers' were from Kavala and Volos and Thesaloniki, and they insisted on no raisins!

In this article, you will find:
- Standing your ground
- More than saying "No!"
- Over using the 'No' tactic
- Redirecting baby's attention
More than saying "No!"
Don't Just Say "No!"
When you first start setting limits, simply saying "no!" may do the trick. Because your baby probably hasn't heard this word much before, especially delivered in such a stern tone, it may stop him from doing whatever he's doing. But as he grows older, he may begin testing this limit. He may turn, smile sweetly at you, and then continue on his merry way.
No matter how cute your baby is when he does this, don't let him get away with it. If saying "no!" doesn't stop your baby from doing something that's dangerous, harmful, or destructive, you must follow through immediately with actions that back up your words. What actions are appropriate before your baby's first birthday? It depends on the situation:
- If he has somehow gotten his hands on something that's dangerous, remove it. Take it from your baby's hands (or mouth) and put it way up high where he can't reach it.
- If he's exploring something dangerous that you cannot take from him, for instance, if he's chewing on an electric cord, then remove him from the area.
- If he's hitting, biting, or otherwise hurting another child, then quickly separate the children. Keep them apart for five minutes or so until calm has been restored and they can play nicely together again.
- If he's bent on destroying something of value, take it away or take him away from it.
Whatever you choose to do to back up your words, explain your rationale to your baby as you're taking action:
- "No peanuts! You might choke."
- "No biting on the cord! It could shock you."
- "No biting! That hurts."
- "No paint on the couch! That ruins it."
Will your baby understand all of this? Probably not. Regardless of whether he understands your words, chances are that he won't remember them for very long. The next time your baby sees a peanut or the electric cord, for instance, she may again be tempted to chew on it.
It doesn't matter whether your baby understands everything you say. But these brief explanations lay the groundwork for the ultimate objective of all discipline: teaching your child the differences between safe and unsafe behavior and right and wrong.
Does Punishment Fit the Crime?
Because your baby does not yet know the difference between "good" and "bad," it's neither fair nor reasonable to discipline her as if she did. (You'll have plenty of time for that later.) Neither punishment nor the threat of punishment helps to discipline an infant. When your baby doesn't do as she's told, she isn't necessarily trying to defy you or your rules. She simply doesn't understand or remember them.
Your baby doesn't know any better. Although ignorance of the law may not be a defense that works in court, it should count for a lot in the home. Because your baby is incapable of making connections between her own (unacceptable) actions and your (punitive) reactions, any kind of punishment is inappropriate before her first birthday. At this age, "No!" will teach her much more about behaviors to avoid than any kind of punishment will.
Infants learn little or nothing from any kind of punishment, whether time-outs, the withholding of treats, or spankings. Your baby just doesn't get it. To her, these punishments are unpleasant, unfair, and cruel things you do to her, not consequences of anything that she's done herself. Because punishment makes absolutely no sense to your baby, it shouldn't make any sense to you either. Punishment has no positive impact whatsoever on an infant.
Spanking a baby is particularly odious. Although a slap on the wrist may occasionally be necessary to prevent your baby from sticking a fork into an electric outlet (or another child), spanking (a punishment for willful misbehavior) does not make sense with infants. Your baby is not yet capable of willful misbehavior.
Make sure that anyone else who takes care of your child agrees with, or at least agrees to abide by, your views on spanking and other forms of corporal punishment.
In addition to being unfair and unreasonable to your baby, spanking
- Teaches your baby nothing about right and wrong
- Sends the message that might makes right, that problems are best dealt with through force rather than persuasion
- Is dangerous when done in anger
- Is cold and cruel when done calmly

i grew up with the James Beard cookbook, and although i have recently been adjusting the salt in everything it's still the benchmark.
my new book is Pork & Sons which is chock full of tasty treats. having recently moved to the uk, i have become a little bit of a sausage addict and this puppy has 18 recipes! check it out:
(there are even some dancing pigs...)

snaileater, I keep looking at Pork and Sons and wondering how to justify buying it.
If it has that many sausage recipes in it, that may be all the encouragement I need. My boyfriend Greg cooks, but has had a 'thing' lately about only cooking main dishes which include sausages. I'd better take a closer look at this book.

hiya Judy. sounds like your boyfriend is on a mission. i promise you won't be disappointed. the plus side is that the sausage recipes are quite varied - my favorite is one where you bake a brioche around a sausage, so maybe you might feel like you're not eating all sausage all the time...

I have 100+ cookbooks, but the ones I enjoy the most are MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING l and ll, and FROM JULIA CHILDS KITCHEN. I like cookbooks that read like a novel -these deliver! I love to snuggle up with a good cookbook.

Post subject: so many to choose from
Don't laugh, but the 1951 Betty Crocker Cookbook is my favorite. I like the little pictures.
James Beard's cookbooks are fun and interesting to read -much more than just collections of recipes. I especially like "American Cookery" and "The New James Beard".
Challenging and technical baking books with beautiful pastries and cakes are especially fun to moon over. I am thinking of "The Cake Bible" and Healy and Bugat's "The Art of the Cake".
If I had to choose just one cookbook for someone starting out? It might depend on whether or not they were interested in cooking. The Joy of Cooking is a great reference, but I think a pre-1960 version would be an especially thoughtful gift. In fact, I wish someone would give one to me!

I started out telling my husband I only want to fill one row of the bookshelf that takes up the biggest wall in our living room. Four years later... most of the shelf is filled with cookbooks
My most used books are "The Cake Bible" and "How to be a Domestic Goddess" for baking and Jamie Oliver's books for every-day dinners. However, I do make a point of giving all my books some attention and regularly go from one end of the shelf to the other making something from every book.

There have been some wonderful suggestions on here and many that I use frequently and love dearly. I don't think I could decided on just one favorite, but I love finding new cookbooks from different Junior Leagues around the country. For those of you not familiar, the Junior League is a women's organization devoted to developing leadership skills in women through volunteering. There are chapters across the country and most of them put together cookbooks to sell for fundraising. I find most of my crowd pleasing, wow 'em recipes from these books because they are usually compilations of the very best recipes of the women in that chapter. If you eve have a chance to buy one, I highly suggest starting a collection.

I LOVE my Junior League cookbooks also! My favorite of all times are River Road (Lafayette, LA), Charleston Receipts and Charlston Receipts Repeats (Charleston, SC) and of COURSE San Francisco a la Carte!
There are, of course, a few dogs in each of these books - Mufffy or Buffy always send in at least one recipe with Lipton onion soup or canned green beans. But for the most part there are some real classic regional dishes - all of the shrimp dishes in the Charleston books are great and the SF cioppino recipe is just smashing.
A few years ago the East Bay Junior League - out in Danville I think, put together a cookbook with recipes from different restos in the East Bay. I think there were a couple from Alice Waters and Chez Panisse. Also Bridges in Danville and some of the other top end restos on this side of the bridge. It was quite a different book than the traditional Jr. League cookbook. I wonder if Jr. Leagues in other areas are following in their footsteps.

I've only got a few Junior League books, but I echo Donna's thoughts. There are some wonderful regional gems to be found in the best of them.
Some random thoughts on cookbooks that "work" for me:
--The Joanne Weir books "Weir Cooking in the Wine Country" and "More Weir Cooking...etc." are great. The recipes are bright, simple, delicious, and always work. She's got a great palate.
--David Lebovitz's "Room for Dessert" is a post-dinner staple for me. Ditto my remarks about Joanne's books above.
--Marcella Kazan and Lidia Bastianich for Italian. Julia and Jacque Pepin for French. This is not to say that I don't use other Italian or French books, but they are my "final say" if I'm searching for a recipe.
--Other favorites...Joyce Goldstein, Madeline Kamman, Peter Rinehart, James Beard, Carol Field's "The Italian Baker", the old Craig Claiborne New York Times cookbooks, the Zuni cookbook (we rhapsodize over the chicken, but you should try the pot a feu, too)
After promising myself "NO MORE COOKBOOKS", of course I bought Clotilde's book, and when I was in London recently I bought one entitled "A Paradiso Year: Autumn and Winter Cooking" by Denis Cotter, an Irish chef. The recipes look fabulous and the photos are gorgeous. Wasn't until I got home that I realized that it's all veggies. Not an animal protein in the lot! It does have a very autumnal feel (my favorite season), and now I can hardly wait for the calendar to "give permission" to cook from it!
Despite my intention to back off the cookbook purchases, my Amazon shopping cart is full of new prospects. It will never end...

Ooops. How could I have forgotten the Chez Panisse books?
Especially Lindsay Shere's "Chez Panisse Desserts". Also, "The Cheese Board Cookbook", which I think is the most extraordinarily generous book in my collection. They include the recipes for everything they sell in the store, and the recipes really work.
And while we're at it, does anyone else find that "restaurant" books frequently disappoint--the above mentioned excepted? I always suspect it has something to do with trying to scale down for a home kitchen. I friend recently brought me the recipe for a renowned pumpkin cheesecake from the restaurant in which he works. It looks wonderful, but it's enormous--instructions at the end tell you to "scoop out 6 cups of the filling"...and how many more cups are left in the bowl, pray tell???
And once I had to phone a local restaurant because in the middle of preparing one of their desserts, I knew it did not sound right. The chef was not thrilled to take my call, but he knew exactly why I had phoned. Rather begrudingly, he adjusted the recipe for me, but it still wasn't right.
Anyway, I'm particularly careful now when checking out books from famous establishments.[/u]

Donna, the Charleston books are some of my favorites too! My mom's family is Southern (and from Charleston) so the book holds a special place in my heart. I also have Capital Celebrations (Washington, DC) and it includes some recipes from celebrated chefs in the area, but it is not solely restaurant recipes.

Hi All...I'm picking up this thread and "redirecting" again because I really would appreciate some responses to my most recent posts above. I'm afraid this cookbook addiction does not seem to be abating at all, despite my efforts to slow down. I don't buy anything for a few months, then undo all my best efforts by buying three or four at a time!
At least I can get your responses on (current) books that you love -- or not, just as important.
thanks in advance...
(BTW, I've got an old Jr. League book from New Orleans...The Plantation Cookbook, I think...that's full of old-South lore about the "best" of the 19th century plantations...I am decidedly ambivalent...lots of interesting recipes...lots of memory gaps about who was actually doing the cooking in these lovely houses...)

Georgia, over at the Epicurious website they have many many cookbooks reviewed, several years worth. Each review contains a line that says "Percentage [of recipes] you'll actually use" The discouraging average is about 20% ! (15% for the Babbo book, 25% for Chez Panisse Fruit, etc.) It's sad but true--I own lots of cookbooks too, but use 1 or 2 recipes from a shortish stack of books. So maybe if we tried more new things we wouldn't keep buying!
(Thank you for pointing out something
than the Zuni chicken.)
I have many that you mentioned. A little book put together by food editors from newspapers all over the country,
Food Editor's Favorites
I like, and a man named Lee Bailey wrote 3 that I own--but like I say, I use certain recipes over and over. We should help each other to branch out? It's not like we try every recipe in a book and
we buy a new one..

As of now, Forsooth will be appearing in Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. If it appears on any other day, consider it a bonus. Yes, the eventual plan is to move the strip to a five-, and then maybe to a seven-day-a-week schedule, but that will not happen until I get into the rhythm of drawing comics... if you've made it this far and are still checking the site out, I thank you... if this is your first visit here, don't let the lousy updating before throw you... if you used to read the strip, quit in frustration at the slowness of updates or the strip's quality, I urge you to give it another chance, because updates will be regular from now on, and because the quality of the strip itself, both in humor and art, is set for a major improvement. (As soon as I finish introducing these characters, I'll be able to get to the point... such as it is.)
I apologize for the way the strip has started, and realize that it's now my job to make up for these early missteps...

An Alabama group that monitors radical organizations says right-wing extremism is on the decline in the United States.
The liberal Southern Poverty Law Center says the number of hate groups dropped for the second year in a row in 2013, falling 7 percent to 939 last year.
The Montgomery-based legal agency says anti-government "Patriot" groups declined even more. It identifies 1,096 such organizations in the United States, down 19 percent from a year earlier.
A law center report released Tuesday says the trend is different than after the election of President Barack Obama in 2008.
While such organizations were on the rise, the report says several factors now are leading to a decline. Those include the improving economy, law enforcement and mainstream politicians adopting some issues of fringe groups.

Microsoft Xbox 720 could have an eight-core CPU, according to new leaks.
This latest rumour is via BD, who posts regularly on TGFC, which is a Chinese forum. What's special about him? Well, he is an ex-Ubisoft employee, and claims to know all information about the Xbox 720, including the RAM, and plenty of other stuff.
According to him, the Xbox 720 will have an eight-core CPU, and an 8800 series GPU. This also fits in with our previous report where we mentioned that the Xbox 720 could be running on a AMD HD 8000M graphics card.
It is also said that Microsoft will be using Windows 8 kernel for the system, which is pretty straightforward, as they have been pushing it a lot. He said that it will have 8 GB memory and a 640 GB hard drive.
Treat this with a grain of salt obviously, as nothing is confirmed yet. However, these are times when insiders can leak out information for a variety of reasons. E3 2013 will be held on June 13, so not long to go before Microsoft finally unveils the system to the world.
What are your thoughts on this rumour?

Steve Case, best known as co-founder of America Online , apparently made a smart move by buying a million shares of Zipcar last August, when the stock was trading near its lowest levels since a 2011 initial public offering.
A member of Zipcar\'s board of directors, Case paid between $7.55 a share and $7.99 a share in a series of 11 transactions last August, according to regulatory filings.
On Wednesday, Zipcar rallied 49% to $12.25 a share, handing Case a nice premium on the stock he purchased over the summer.
Driving Zipcar's rise was the $500 million acquisition of the firm by car-rental leader Avis Budget . In a sign that Wall Street loves the deal, Avis shares are up nearly 5%.
Case joined Zipcar's board in 2010, before the car-share firm went public at $18 a share on April 14, 2011. Revolution Living LLC, an entity controlled by Case, owned about 6.9 million shares, or 18% of the company's stock, immediately after the IPO, according to the prospectus for the deal.
Now the Cambridge, Mass.-based company has agreed to be bought for $12.25 a share in cash.
Zipcar drew buzz recently among marketers for Ford Motor Co. as a way to start getting 20-somethings interested in buying a car after renting them by the hour.
Avis Chief Executive Ronald Nelson echoed that sentiment when he told analysts that Zipcar offers his company the chance to "serve new, younger, more wired customers that our existing brands don't always connect with," according to a transcript of the company\'s conference call on the deal.

Lindsey Vonn is not dating Tim Tebow. She wants everyone to know she is not dating Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow did not break up Lindsey Vonn's marriage. Especially because he is "saving himself" for marriage. She wants everyone to know he did not break up her marriage. Lindsey is our 'crush' today for not only not dating Tim Tebow but for being so gorgeous and talented she has to announce the people she is and isn't dating at the current moment.
When she isn't deflecting dating rumors about 'Touchdown Jesus,' Lindsey is a gold medal winning skier for the US Ski Team. Vonn is one of five women to have won World Cup races in all five disciplines of alpine skiing. It's probably because of her amazing form and tremendous physical condition. The pictures below will act as Exhibits A and B to those statements.
So, to recap, Lindsey is divorced and single, Tim Tebow is still a virgin, Lindsey is a good skier and some skiing positions are ridiculously sexual.
