I hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving. Mine was wonderful just like it is every year. Zack and I spent time in West Virginia with his family. This was my seventh Thanksgiving with his family and boy am I thankful for them. Zack's mom is an amazing cook and we stuffed out bellies. My favorites this year were the cranberry sauce, the dressing, and the sweet potatoes. Believe it or now I would not eat any of those dishes growing up unless it was cranberry jelly from a can. You can ask my mom, I used to love that canned stuff! Since this is a baking blog, I bet you are wondering what we had for dessert. I brought the pies this year which consisted of 2 Pecan Pies, 1 Pumpkin Pie, and a Cranberry Apple Pie. The Pecan is my favorite, which is also a pie I would not eat growing up. This post is probably shocking my mom. I suppose I had to grow up eventually.
The Pecan Pie is also the favorite of my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, and my niece. My niece told me that she never liked Pecan Pie until she had mine which is quite the compliment from an almost 14 year old. Since it is getting closer to the holidays and just about everybody will be looking for cookie and bar recipes I thought I would share a delicious recipe for Chocolate Pecan Pie bars with you. These bars completely embody Pecan Pie. I think they were great with the addition of the chocolate chips, but if you are more of a traditionalist you can definitely leave them out.
Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars
recipe slightly adapted from Glorious Treats
1 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
1-2 Tablespoons cold water
3 eggs
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups pecan halves, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
(For the crust) In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat 3/4 cup butter, brown sugar and salt until smooth and creamy. Add flour, and beat until coarse crumbs form. While the mixer is running, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water, as needed to help form dough. Press dough into the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of the prepared pan. Prick the dough with a fork several times, randomly around the pan. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown.
(For the filling) In a large bowl, mix eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, melted butter, bourbon and salt with a whisk until well blended. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips. Pour filling into baked crust. Bake 20-30 minutes or until golden brown and filling is set. Cool completely before cutting.

BBVA Compass Stadium
UniMas - 4 p.m.
Yahoo! 1560 AM - 3:30 p.m.
La Ranchera 850 - 3:30 p.m.
Game will air on CSN Houston Monday morning at 11 a.m.
The Houston Dynamo return home looking to make history when they play host to the Chicago Fire at BBVA Compass Stadium in a rematch of their postseason encounter of a year ago. The Dynamo are looking to set the league's home undefeated record of 35 games across all competitions, though they are coming off a 2-0 loss at the Portland Timbers last weekend. The Fire finally broke out of their early-season struggles with a first win of the season last weekend, a 3-1 defeat of the New York Red Bulls at home.

HOUSTON DYNAMO -- OUT: Calen Carr – Left knee; QUESTIONABLE: Boniek Garcia - Left Achilles tendonitis
- ALL-TIME (15 meetings): Dynamo 6 wins, 22 goals ... Fire 4 wins, 19 goals ... Ties 5
- AT HOUSTON (7 meetings): Dynamo 3 wins, 10 goals ... Fire 2 wins, 9 goals ... Ties 2
- RETURN MATCHES: 7/27: Houston Dynamo vs. Chicago Fire, 7 p.m. CT (NBCSN); 9/1: Chicago Fire vs. Houston Dynamo, 4 p.m. CT (UniMas)
- LAST YEAR (MLS): 4/15: CHI 1, HOU 1 (Pause 27 – Bruin 24) | 7/3: HOU 0, CHI 0 | 9/2: CHI 3, HOU 1 (Nyarko 1, Paladini 19, Alex 93+ -- Ching 90)
- The teams met a year ago in the Knockout Round of the MLS Cup Playoffs, the Dynamo taking a 2-1 victory at Toyota Park on their way to an eventual appearance in MLS Cup 2012.
- In league play, the Dynamo last won in Bridgeview in 2009. The Fire won at Robertson Stadium in 2006 and 2007 in their first two trips ever to Houston – and have not won there since.
- Coaches record: Dominic Kinnear v CHI: P20 W7 L6 D7 ... Frank Klopas vs. HOU: P4 W1 L0 D3
The Houston Dynamo lost for the second time in as many road starts, dropping a 2-0 decision to the Portland Timbers at Jeld-Wen Field on Saturday evening. The Dynamo are in third place in the Eastern Conference with 9 points from 5 matches.
- After a scoreless first half which saw two Timbers starters -- midfielder Diego Valeri and defender David Horst – come off the field injured, Portland took the lead 10 minutes after the break. Ryan Johnson took a perfectly placed cross from Diego Chara and nudged it by Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall with a lunging left-footed attempt as the goalkeeper vainly tried to keep it out.
- Johnson doubled his and the Timbers account in the 73rd minute. He broke free down the left flank, perfectly timing his run behind the Dynamo backline to run onto a through ball from Darlington Nagbe, then buried his angled shot from the left side of the box inside the far post.
- Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made two changes to the team that took a 2-0 win against the San Jose Earthquakes at BBVA Compass Stadium. Andrew Driver came in on the flank for Boniek Garcia, and Cam Weaver started up top in place of Will Bruin.
- HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-4-2): Tally Hall - Kofi Sarkodie, Jermaine Taylor, Bobby Boswell, Corey Ashe - Andrew Driver, Adam Moffat (Warren Creavalle 64), Ricardo Clark (Omar Cummings 81), Brad Davis - Giles Barnes, Cam Weaver (Brian Ching 71).
- The Dynamo are 0-2-0 away from home this season, but are 3-0-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium. After the visit by Chicago, six of their next nine games are on the road.
"We wanted to come here and get a good result and obviously that didn't happen. I thought the first half we put
ourselves in a good position, limited their chances, had some good moments ourselves, and in the second half, we were a little bit off that," said Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear.
- Will Bruin did not make the trip to Portland after suffering a hamstring injury late in the win against San Jose, an injury originally suffered a few weeks ago, but one for which he passed a pregame fitness test before the Vancouver match.
- "I don't like missing out and I'm trying to get back as quick as I can," Bruin said. "It's early in the season and I don't want it to be nagging all year. I'd rather miss one [game] as opposed to one month. We're just taking it day by day. There's risk there with playing through it and maybe doing something worse. If it was a playoff game I would've played."
- Boniek Garcia was also held out of the Portland match after suffering an ankle injury in training the day before the match.
- "He just was feeling it," Kinnear said. "You want to make sure when guys step out on the field they're feeling fine. He trained Friday but wasn't feeling so good so that's the reason he didn't play."
- With a victory or a draw, the Dynamo will set the record for the longest home undefeated streak over all competitions. The Dynamo have matched the MLS record of 34 games set by Real Salt Lake.
- "Back at home, we have a good run going there so we want to continue that. We haven't been there in a while," said midfielder Adam Moffat. "Anytime you lose a game you kind of want to get there and make amends. So for us it's next Sunday, to get back to business and preparing for that and hopefully get another three points."

The protein, dubbed "UNC-45A," was also determined to be more active in breast cancer cells than in normal breast cells.
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston scientists describe these findings and others in a paper now online in the Journal of Molecular Biology.
"As a result of earlier work, we hypothesized that UNC-45A should be critical in several steps related to cancer cell metastasis," said UTMB professor Henry Epstein. "This investigation confirmed that hypothesis, and also showed us significant aspects of UNC-45A's behavior that were previously unknown."
UNC-45A is what is known as a "chaperone" protein, a molecule that helps other proteins function more effectively. In the case of UNC-45A, the protein is myosin, which can be thought of as a tiny machine that interacts with a long, fiber-like protein called actin to alter cell shape and movement. In the last stage of cell division, for example, myosin and actin proteins pinch the cell tightly about its midsection, finally splitting a single cell into two daughter cells.
"What we believe is really important in this paper is that increased UNC-45A in cancer cells leads to enhanced myosin and actin activity, which leads to increased rates of cell proliferation and increased rates of cancer-cell invasion or migration," Epstein said. "Those are critical phenomena and could be significant in the development of new therapeutic approaches."
Epstein's group measured UNC-45A's effect on myosin and actin activity by comparing the activity observed in cells from a highly metastatic cancer cell line with that seen in cells from the same line in which UNC-45A production had been blocked. The difference was substantial, strongly suggesting that high levels of UNC-45A drove the cells' high rate of proliferation and invasion of other tissues.
Further exploring the details of UNC-45A, the UTMB team discovered that the protein actually exists in two slightly different isoforms, one made up of 944 amino acids and the other of 929 amino acids. While these two isoforms interacted similarly with myosin, the breast cells' protein breakdown apparatus attacked the 944 amino acid-isoform much more vigorously than the 929 amino-acid isoform; as a result, the 929 amino-acid isoform was found in much greater levels.
"In the breast cancer cells, you get a disregulation of the two, because the larger one gets turned over more rapidly than the smaller one, and we can actually see this very dramatically," Epstein said.
Other authors of the Journal of Molecular Biology paper include graduate students Wei Guo and Daisi Chen, and Dr. Zhen Fan of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. This research was supported in part by the Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Endowment.

The world has gone mad for celebrity chefs, but one man is campaigning against the tide. "Chefs, in my opinion," says long-time Financial Times restaurant critic Lander, "have been elevated to an overly lofty position." It's not that he's against great cooks—quite the contrary—but he believes greatness can be attained only through "the partnership of a visionary restaurateur alongside a talented chef." To set the record straight, Lander travels the world to speak with 20 industry leaders who run the front-of-house of top restaurants, from public figures Danny Meyer (Union Square in New York), Joe Bastianich (Mario Batali's partner) and Trevor Gulliver (St. John in London) to equally accomplished but lesser-known individuals like Juli Soler—Ferran Adria's partner in elBulli—and Wagamama founder Alan Yau.
Each portrait incorporates business analysis, personal anecdotes and insights such as the role that restaurants, as vibrant gathering places, can play in urban regeneration. Design, architecture, service and other elements are considered. In the process of unfolding often dramatic tales—bankruptcies, health problems and failed marriages are common—Lander also offers a globe-trotting tour of gastronomic proportions. The culinary writing is restrained—no gastro-porn here, which is unsurprising given his three decades of solid restaurant criticism. Lander recognizes the stress that comes with creating a successful restaurant. After all, he has been a restaurateur himself and begins the book with his own tale of opening the pioneering L'Escargot in London in the '80s, then having to sell the restaurant due to poor health. (Soon after, his career took a turn when his column was born.)
Lander writes without a hint of snobbery, and an absence of interest in all things trendy. Don't expect to learn about hyped restaurants like Noma or Faviken. Instead, look for valuable lessons and sound advice—such as these bons mots from a man once called the world's greatest restaurateur, the late Jean-Claude Vrinat of Taillevant in Paris. What he says might also apply to what we all need: "A love of food, a love of wine and a love of one's fellow human beings."

Price hopes offense saves runs for his start
ST. PETERSBURG -- Tampa Bay's lackluster offense turned into a juggernaut on Friday and Saturday, when the team scored 11 and 16 runs, respectively, in wins over the Yankees.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Rays are the first team in nearly 26 years to produce at least 10 runs and 16 hits in consecutive games against the Yankees since the Angels did it on Aug. 27-28, 1988, in Anaheim.
David Price will start for the Rays on Tuesday against the Twins, and noted that he hoped the offense would save some runs for him.
"I hope they saved a whole bunch," Price said. "[They scored 27] the last two days, so I hope we just keep scoring. It's fun for us in the dugout. Baseball can be a very long game. If you're going to play 3 1/2-, four-hour games, let's just score. It's fun."
The Rays had scored just 10 runs in their previous six games heading into Friday night's 11-5 win.
"We enjoy cheering for them," Price said. "We see how hard they're trying, especially when they're struggling. We've all been there, we know what it feels like, and we have their backs 110 percent. We know they have our backs, as well."
Yankees infielder Dean Anna pitched the eighth, becoming the first Yankees position player to pitch since Alberto Gonzalez on May 15, 2013, against the Mariners.
Price, who normally observes the other team's pitcher, was asked if he learned anything watching Anna's performance.
"Yeah, don't put forth too much effort," Price said. "But what he did was extremely tough -- to come in and to essentially lob the ball the way he did and still be able to throw strikes like that. I don't know how many pitchers would be able to do that. It's tough, it really is. ... He was just lobbing fastballs."
Price, like most pitchers, sees himself as a master batsman. Thus, he saw an opportunity on Saturday night. Why shouldn't he take a few hacks against Anna?
"I was lobbying with Joe," Price said. "I gave him a scenario where I was going to hit."
When asked how that conversation went, Maddon smiled.
"Not well," said Maddon. "You've already got three of [the starters] on the shelf. You don't want to take your chances on the fourth."

For three and a half years, I underwent therapy to change my sexual orientation, from gay to straight, with Joseph Nicolosi, co-founder and former president of the National Association for the Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH). I've written a piece for The American Prospect magazine that tells the story of the ex-gay movement over the last 20 years, as well as recounting my own experiences in therapy (spoiler alert: it failed miserably). I encourage AMERICAblog readers to check it out, but there is one key piece of information I wanted to share.
Robert Spitzer—the guy who led the charge to declassify homosexuality as a mental illness in 1973—published a controversial study in 2001 saying that some gay people could change their sexual orientation. The study continues to be cited by proponents of "ex-gay therapy" (the notion that you can pray away the gay) as the chief piece of evidence that such therapy works; the fact that he is not a flack for the ex-gay movement and is an atheist made it hard to say he was biased. But when I met Spitzer in March, he asked me to retract the study:
Spitzer was drawn to the topic of ex-gay therapy because it was controversial—"I was always attracted to controversy"—but was troubled by how the study was received. He did not want to suggest that gay people should pursue ex-gay therapy. His goal was to determine whether the counterfactual—the claim that no one had ever changed his or her sexual orientation through therapy—was true.
I asked about the criticisms leveled at him. "In retrospect, I have to admit I think the critiques are largely correct," he said. "The findings can be considered evidence for what those who have undergone ex-gay therapy say about it, but nothing more." He said he spoke with the editor of the Archives of Sexual Behavior about writing a retraction, but the editor declined. (Repeated attempts to contact the journal went unanswered.) …
Spitzer was growing tired and asked how many more questions I had. Nothing, I responded, unless you have something to add.
He did. Would I print a retraction of his 2001 study, "so I don't have to worry about it anymore"?
It's quite a stunning reversal, and I got the sense that this had troubled Spitzer for some years.
While I share the criticisms many psychiatrists and gay-rights supporters levied at the 2001 study, it strikes me that Spitzer's decision to pursue it evinces an admirable characteristic. When we spoke, Spitzer told me it's important to question "whether everything you've been taught is wrong." In the early '70s, there was a near consensus in the psychiatric community that homosexuality was a mental disorder—and a pretty bad one at that. Interactions with gay-rights activists made Spitzer doubt the conventional wisdom in the same way that encounters with ex-gay activists made him question whether change therapy worked (and led him to pursue the 2001 study). In the latter case, the result was more harmful than good, but the drive to think independently—even when there is enormous social pressure to hew to the party line—seems the defining mark of a true intellectual. Of course every strength is also a weakness, but were it not for Spitzer's capacity for self-doubt, my husband and I might be sitting in a psychiatric ward instead of happily married.
On a broader note, this has been a story I've wanted to tell since I first became a writer. The experience of researching and writing it, however, was difficult. It's one thing, to paraphrase Joan Didion, for a writer to sell other people out; it's another to give away embarrassing details about yourself and your past (which, in the service of truth, I had to). Reaching into my painful adolescence was a bit dislocating. It cut loose a lot of memories from therapy, of being an insecure teenager—a time I'm sure many would prefer to forget.
But, at the risk of being aggrandizing, I think the way my story ends is edifying. I'm convinced that we never really "get over" traumatic experiences—whether it's a parent or spouse's death, a car accident, or childhood abuse; they remain part of the story we tell ourselves about who we are.
I'm an atheist, but whenever I think about trauma, I'm reminded of a passage in one of Christian writer C.S. Lewis' books (I can't remember which). He compares the human condition to a symphony; the fall of Adam and Eve, he says, is like a wrong note that threatens to spoil the entire composition. But the divine composer comes to the rescue by turning the errant note into the start of a new melody.
With trauma, one must indeed turn the errant note into the start of a new and better symphony.

Webber downplays Ferrari switch rumours
Mark Webber has poured cold water on speculation that he will sign for Ferrari for 2013. Rumours abound that he will replace incumbent Felipe Massa on a short-term deal, with Ferrari's long term ambition being to put rising star Sergio Perez in one of it's cars. The Aussie said: "Sergio was flavour of the month last week for the Ferrari drive; now it's me", adding "I haven't signed anything. My focus is on this team".
4 May 2012 - Source
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Wise to be cautious Webber, why take a chance at Ferrari on a short-term deal when you could jeopardise a relationship with Red Bull who have rewarded your 5 years of loyal service with a long-term... sorry I forgot, how long does your Red Bull contract run to again?
wibbah Mark Webber
Flamin' stoked to be linked to Ferrari Michael but I am totally focused on doing my best for Red Bull.
Horner Christian Horner
Mark is a very valued support to Seb's success Michael. He is on a one-year rolling contract. Red Bull's position on this is that out of loyalty to Mark and what he has done for the team, we would not be opposed to anyone taking him off our hands.
wibbah Mark Webber
Crikey Christian, a bloke deserves a fair shake of the stick mate. I've done a bonzer job for Red Bull over the last 5 years.
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Good idea not to show your hand too early anyway Webber. If you tell Red Bull you're moving on they might shut you out of any new car development so that you won't bring any of Newey's secrets with you to another team.
wibbah Mark Webber
They can't do that Michael, I have a fair dinkum contract promising me equal equipment to my teammate as long as I am in the team.
Horner Christian Horner
Actually Michael, while Mark's contract says that he has a Red Bull with identical specification to perfect Seb's, the precise vintage of Seb's car in that context is a little less strictly defined. Adrian and I have had a policy to run the newest parts on Seb's car for at least 6 months before we transfer them to the sister car of Mark. This is to cover reliability issues so we ensure we can at least bag some consolation points if anything happens to Seb while he is leading.
sbstnvtl Sebastian Vettel
Yesss! That's what I am talking about! See you Mark, I'll buy you an Italian dictionary. Ha ha. Yabba-dabba-dooooooooo!
Montezuma Luca di Montezemolo
Greetings earthlings, what impudence is this that offends me? Who dares presume who is to be annointed by me to command my scarlet chariots?
Domenicali Stefano Domenicali
President di Montezemelo, these rumours are most unfortunate. I have told Felipe he must improve but this speculation will only upset the special unity and loyalty of our Ferrari family.
Montezuma Luca di Montezemolo
Silence puny servant. The loyalty of Ferrari is to thine Emperor. This weak child who brings failure to my court must be sacrificed. I will scour the heavens and the earth to find one worthy to share the company of the golden child Fernando.
fernando Fernando Alonso
Thank you Emperor, as much as I have tried to support my former teammate, Felipe continues to disgrace our precious marque. I humbly beseech you to find someone to help me glorify your name.
massa Felipe Massa
You're an arse-licking twat Fernando.
fernando Fernando Alonso
Mmmm, bit embarrassing isn't it with all these people being linked to your seat Massa. Liza Minelli has a better chance of getting a Ferrari contract next year than you do.
Perez Sergio Perez
Sergio like Ferrari, Sergio want Ferrari.
PSauber Peter Sauber
Take it easy Sergio, you have a Ferrari engine, that is the best I can do for you right now.
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Careful what you wish for Perez, life is complicated at Maranello, there's quite a bit of political chicanery required to get yourself that seat.
Perez Sergio Perez
Huh?...chicane bad...Sergio like Ferrari....chicane bad...Sergio like Ferrari...chicane bad...
PSauber Peter Sauber
Say Esses five times like the doctor told you Sergio. There are no chicanes involved. For Christ's sake Michael, I've spent a fortune on his psychotherapy after Monaco, I hope Ferrari realise what they might be taking on.
Kobayashi Kamui Kobayashi
Be calm Perezsan. Take the words of the master into your heart and fear not. I will fight to the death to protect you as long as you remain loyal to Sensei Sauber, alas I cannot promise my soul to you if you succumb to the control of our Ferrari enemies.

Coexistence of Formal and Informal Credit Markets in India -A Study of Entrepreneurial Choices for House-based Industries
The exploitation of informal money lenders and huge debt burden on the rural labour force
can't be ignored across India till now. The study assesses the underlying causes of existence
of informal credit along with available subsidized formal credit in rural areas in India. It
builds up a simple theoretical approach based on specific assumptions on entrepreneurial
choice intended for sources of credit as investment to their house-based industries and thus
evaluates the theoretical frame-work to a self-surveyed data set. It is empirically tested that
the decision of the entrepreneurs is formed, basically, by the interaction between the cost of
access to formal credit and the relative efficiency of formal and informal lending mechanisms.
Institutional credit can't be effectively served until and unless a proper interlinked credit
policy coupled with default management strategies, flexible terms and conditions along with
wide branch networks sets up.

Call it a heavy wind chime.
There's a rod about the size of a coat hanger upon which Susie Manning drapes her running medals, and she keeps it in the study of her condominium just off Salisbury Street.
She sifts through the medals and the melody of a wind chime resonates, while included are many colorful ribbons of events — from the Canal Diggers 5K and Worcester Half Marathon, to marathons in Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago and her native Ottawa, to the inaugural Ashland Half Marathon.
Three weeks ago in Ashland, Manning won her super seniors division by more than 20 minutes in 1 hour, 50 minutes, 53 seconds, only 33 seconds behind the great Bill Rodgers.
Winning her age group is a common occurrence for Manning, who at 66 has enjoyed shining in races since running the Boston Marathon as a bandit in 1990. Six of the medals on the rod are from Boston. She has completed 14 Bostons, eight with an official number.
Her best marathon is 3:28 in Chicago, and she continues to place among the top 10 in her age group wherever she goes.
Manning, the mother of five and grandmother of four, has an infectious, bubbly personality and enjoys the camaraderie of the road-racing scene. Those who frequent the health club at the Sheraton Framingham rave about her enthusiasm and support as lifeguard and water aerobics instructor there, where she has worked for the past 3-1/2 years.
But while she's the ultimate people person, Manning enjoys her alone time in the morning, her time on the roads. Every day by 8 a.m., she's on the road for five to six miles, frequently running loops including the Assumption College campus.
"It's fresh air, just being out there by yourself, and it just starts your day," Manning said. "And you feel good all day long. It's really weird because when I'm running and look at some of the people driving down the road in their cars, they look half asleep. It's like, 'How are they going to get to work?' You've got to get outside, breathing the fresh air."
While she has been racing only since 1990, she began running many years earlier at the suggestion of her husband, Pete Manning, around the time they got married. Pete, a Hudson native who played two seasons as a defensive back with the Chicago Bears and eight in the Canadian Football League, was an assistant football coach at Texas-El Paso in 1968 and got Susie to try a few laps around the track.
Even before running was considered hip, Susie was hooked, especially while seeking a fun activity. "It was easy for me, it's so easy to do," said Manning, whose easy approach has helped her considerably.
And though Pete got Susie into running, he wasn't long to be her running partner. "I got faster than him and he didn't like that," she quipped.
The children have joined her in races. Sons Paul, the oldest child, and Mike, the youngest, played football at Michigan, and daughters Nancy, Laura and Alicia are all active runners. After Pete left coaching to enter a career in sales, the family moved about the country frequently before finally settling in Worcester 13 years ago. Mike played at St. John's High before walking on at Michigan, where he was a teammate of one Tom Brady.
Susie remains loyal to Michigan football, though the sport may have left a bittersweet mark on the family. Six years ago, Pete was diagnosed with dementia/Alzheimer's. It has been attributed to repeated concussions suffered during his playing days, from Hudson and Wake Forest through the NFL and CFL.
Still, the Mannings aren't bitter. "He's glad he played," Susie said of Pete, who at 75 remains in relatively fine physical health. "He stops little kids and parents in the mall and tells them, 'Get your kids in Pop Warner. It's best thing to ever happen. It's a learning tool.' He's still so gung-ho about it."
Susie brings Pete to as many races as possible, making arrangements for supervision at the site. After all, he introduced her to the sport.
"It's a little more complicated now and I think it's going to get a little more difficult," she said.
Whether it's a race or a workout, Susie takes a gradual approach. At races, she likes to start in the front and let the field pass her early.
"Very slow at the beginning," she said. "I let them all pass me, but mark my words, I'll pass you people. I stay at the side of the road, away from everybody, just doing my own program."
For marathons and half marathons, she "warms up" for the first two or three miles. "By the time it's an hour into the race, I'm warmed up. I'm ready to go, I'm off and running, I've got a smile on my face."
And she'll pass runners one by one, including her children. Next on the docket is Thursday's Feaster Five Road Race in Andover, a 5-miler where up to 10,000 runners participate, and she'll be accompanied by her youngest son. "I'll beat the pants off Mike," she smiles.
She hopes her next marathon comes in February in Los Angeles. She's lining up oldest son Paul to be the victim this time as he is about to move there from San Francisco, where two years ago, Susie won her age group in a 26.2-miler.
"And I will win that one, too," she crowed.
There's a hearty crew that turns out for the Central Mass Striders 5K Series each Saturday morning at Worcester State. Usually, between 20 to 40 runners are on hand, whether racing or to complete a brisk weekend workout, occasionally topping out at about 45.
But a week ago yesterday, the series run blossomed into quite an event. When word circulated that proceeds from the Nov. 10 run would benefit the areas of New York and New Jersey devastated by Superstorm Sandy last month, the response was heartening.
According to CMS president Kim Wamback, about 140 turned out, creating the need for extra volunteers to marshal the course, etc. This was no longer a Saturday morning run; it indeed had the road-race atmosphere with smiling faces ready to help those in need.
"We had such a great turnout on a great day," Wamback said. "There was such an excitement with people so willing to come out and contribute to such a worthy cause."
In the aftermath of the cancellation of the New York City Marathon, social media was buzzing, with postings taking sides, much like we saw during the presidential campaign. Feelings were expressed about how those in the running community could help those three hours south of us, while many marathoners were indeed reaching out to those in hard-hit areas, including Staten Island and the Jersey shore.
Wamback decided to take charge and circulated Facebook postings and email all over. Andy Sharry's YMCA running team sent a contingent, using the 5K as its Saturday morning workout.
The result? A little more than $1,000 raised for the storm victims, plus CMS voted to contribute another $1,000, leading to just over $2,000 to the cause. Wamback mentioned donation checks are still coming in.
This success has CMS considering future Saturday 5Ks possibly designated as fundraisers.
Anyone interested in contributing to the Sandy recovery effort can contact Wamback at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A couple of high school boys' cross-country rivals will hold their 3.1-mile alumni races over Thanksgiving weekend, promising to attract a talented turnout.
St. John's High hosts its 30th alumni race at 9 a.m. Thanksgiving morning, just after the 8 o'clock Mass on the Shrewsbury campus. There is no charge and refreshments (coffee, doughnuts, fruit, water, etc.) will be available afterward at Salem Student Commons.
For information, contact St. John's coach Raul Laborde at email@example.com.
The sixth Brian Wallace Wachusett Alumni Race goes off at 10 a.m. Saturday at the school in Holden. Long-sleeved T-shirts were guaranteed to the first 50 runners to register.
To register for the race, visit www.wallacealumnirace.com. For more information, contact Kendra Leith at (508) 751-0923 or email@example.com.
John Conceison can be contacted by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

3 Reviews for West Country Climbs
Thank you so much for such a well put together and classy book. It has reduced the number of crag-based and route-finding epics of the past and offers countless hours of enthusiasm and daydreaming when not at the crag. It surpasses all other books previous to it, and sets a high benchmark for all other publications.
The latest Rockfax is a mighty tomb covering a vast area from Bristol down through Devon and Cornwall and finishing up along the south coast as far as Swanage. With so much quality climbing to cover I don't envy the task of it's author in deciding what to include and what to omit. This will always be a contentious issue. Personally if I'm making the effort to drive to the south west from the north east I'm unlikely to bother climbing in the Avon Gorge, so I would have rather seen some of those 24 pages dedicated to other areas such as Sharpnose, which is infuriatingly selective. This is perhaps true for many of the crags, with just enough routes to wet your appetite, thereby ensuring sales of the definitive guides to repeat visitors.
Once you get into the guide the number of crags covered is staggering. There's the ones I'd heard of such as the Avon and Cheddar Gorges, Black Church, Sharpnose, Tintagel, Pentire, Bosigran, Sennen, Chair Ladder, Lizard Point, Anstey's, Portland and Swanage. However, these crags are complimented by an array of other venues offering a good choice of climbing styles and rock-types. There's the various quarried venues such as Portishead and Cheesewring, the sports venue of Brean Down, the culm slabs of Gull Rock and Vicarage Cliff, the committing Carn Gowla and Gurnard's Head, the killas slate of Kenidjack, the superb granite cliffs around Land's End, the Dartmoor Tors and the outrageous looking Berryhead to name just a few. The guide's most impressive feature as always are the high quality photo diagrams, the work involved to compile them massive. To me this is a big selling point as they really offer a flavour of the style of climbing on offer. The diagrams are backed up with written route descriptions and the usual rockfax icons. The guide as always contains easy to follow maps, backed up with written approach info, and a paragraph on access/tides and conditions. There's also a reasonable selection of action photos covering the full range of grades and styles on offer.
The guide covers climbs of all grades, although those operating in the VS-E2 range are the most catered for. For those wanting trad routes of E4 and above there seems to be little new stuff to discover but all the classics (such as Fay, Pacemaker, Darkinbad, Il Duce and America) are covered.
All in all though an excellent production and a must buy for all those climbers thinking of visiting this area of the country. There's enough routes in here to keep you going for several holidays, without visiting the same crag twice. This guide is a truly fine effort by the author Mark Glaister.
"Superlatives fall short when describing the brilliant climbing that is found in the South West of England. What is widely regarded as one of the best 'destinations' for British climbers is also one of the most diverse. A wide range of styles and rock types make it a wonderful place to explore and, for many climbers, the South West is a region to do just that on long weekends during the summer. The problem weekend warriors have been faced with has been that each of the many areas is documented in a separate guidebook. For the first time visitor to the region I imagine the bookshelf-full of different guides to choose from is pretty overwhelming. This makes the region perfect for a new selective book covering the major classics of each area.
The main advantages this volume has over the somewhat aging selection of definitive guides are arguable related to its 'ease of use' attributes. This is what Rockfax have perfected throughout their range and one of the features that make their guides really stand out. The symbols are, as always, really helpful for an at-a-glance indication of what getting to the crag might entail, or what you're chosen route will involve. The lists are also excellent, and a distinct advantage over the competition; in a book that covers so many places it is very useful to have a quick reference point telling you how many mid grade lines there are, and how long the approach will take, etc, at your list of prospective venues. The tab feature at the edge of each page is possibly my favourite aspect of Rockfax guides, and makes finding the right page an absolute doddle. Another very useful addition that has crept into the last few Rockfax releases is the cover flaps that both make bookmarking easy and the cover more durable. All things considered, Mark Glaister has done what I would have said was a near impossible task. Compiling the best routes, along with a plethora of useful info, from such a wide variety of crags must have involved a lot of hard work. The production values of Rockfax put this collection of classics into a well polished format, and the whole package makes for a great companion to some of the best adventures your are ever likely to have!

Functional and Comfortable, Stephen Burrows created a beautiful line for New York Fashion Week filled with vibrant colors and sophisticated designs. Editors and Fashion Icons, including Pat Cleveland, Alva Chinn, Debbie Dickinson and Rennie White gathered for the SS/ 2013 debut.
Spectators were served chilled champagne, tea sandwiches and decadent desserts on the rooftop of The Out NYC. Burrows is known for traditionally presenting collections during the last day of Fashion Week, and this year was no different.
Inspired by the curves of a woman's body, Burrows created a line that is relaxed and contemporary, filled with bright jersey fabrics, sheer and asymmetrical lines.
The 70s era of sexy high-waist pants and a kaleidoscope of color were represented while models (including Pat Cleveland's daughter, Anna Von Ravenstein) charismatically danced and interacted with photographers.
After 46 years of designing garments for some of the biggest names in the fashion industry, Burrows adds another client to his list…Barbie. The mahogony doll, Pazette, was dripping in rhinestones and white feathers and showcased in a mirrored box for guests to admire.
This year Stephanie Burrows provided women exactly what they desire, fabulous ready to wear clothing that is perfect for a career woman or a stylish fashion enthusiast.

Simon Bayliss
This event has now finished!
Simon Bayliss was raised in Devon, after spending his first year in the Bahamas, and is now based in St Ives, Cornwall. His relationship to the Cornish landscape and the sea feature strongly in his work, often exploring conflicting feelings of respect and irreverence for a place that is steeped in proud artistic and cultural history.
Kangaroo Beach sees a body of recent works spanning video, ceramics and poetry, which tease out ideas on intersections between the local and the international; traditional crafts and contemporary practice; and queer culture and rural identity.
Lending its name to the show, Bayliss' latest video work Kangaroo Beach is inspired by American poet Mary Reufle's essay of the same name on the subject of sincerity and irreverence. It features a disconcerting collection of appropriated footage, in which muscular, buck kangaroos suggest an uncanny sense of 'the other' whilst also reflecting ideas around macho surf culture, of posturing and body-building, all set to the artist's own dance music composition.
Further works include a series of slipware plates informed by studio pottery and the legacy of Bernard Leach and Michael Cardew, and a collection of text paintings presenting the artist's short poems inspired by the Japanese form of Haiku and Senryu.
This exhibition kicks off an exciting year for Simon Bayliss and has been developed to lead into a further solo exhibition at Plymouth College of Art in October 2018, as part of the South West Showcase, which aims to uncover and celebrate the talent of contemporary artists working and living in the South West region of the UK.

Top 20 Best Movies Of 201125.10.10 # Top Ten # 181 Comments
Let's explore the best movies of 2011. Ok 2011's top movies didn't enjoy the sort of buzz that surrounds next year's big titles, but there was still plenty to get excited about. We'll run through our favourites, then mention a few that almost made it. This is the best of 2011 at the movies –
20. Crazy, Stupid, Love
Starring: Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Analeigh Tipton
Directors: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa
Release Date: 29th July 2011
A happily married family man (Carell) is shocked when his wife (Moore) asks for a divorce. Now he's trying to manage the relationship with his kids while finding himself thrust back onto the dating scene. When he realises he's too deeply uncool to pick up women he enlists the help of a stylish life coach (Gosling). The directors of I Love You Phillip Morris (who wrote Bad Santa before that) bring something wonderfully subversive and entertaining to the 'marital crisis' sub-genre. This has the honesty of a good indie movie with the appealing gloss of a Hollywood picture.
19. Fright Night
Starring: Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, David Tennant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Toni Collette
Director: Craig Gillespie
Release Date: 7th October 2011
Star Trek's Anton Yelchin is Charley, the young man trying to convince everyone that a deadly vampire (Colin Farrell) has moved in next door. Soon he turns to gothic celebrity Peter Vincent (David Tennant) only to discover he's not the fearless supernatural guru he portrays. Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays Charley's best friend 'Evil' Ed, and Toni Collette is the mum. The 80s original was an enjoyable, well written comedy horror. This has upped the stakes with a near perfect cast of fun actors, and Farrell is on career best form as the despicable, yet faintly bored, vampire. The sharp script knows how to have fun, without ever losing its intensity.
18. Super 8
Starring: Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning, Kyle Chandler, Ron Eldard
Director: J.J. Abrams
Release Date: 10th June 2011
Set in 1979, this is a homage to Spielberg's '70s and '80s science fiction films, written and directed by J.J.Abrams. It tells the story of a group of small-town teens who are filming a home movie on their super 8 camera when a train derails, releasing a dangerous presence into their neighbourhood. E.T., Close Encounters, Goonies, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park all have story threads or shots lifted from them, and while some might think it overdoes the tribute this is ultimately nostalgic for a style of filmmaking that is sorely missed.
17. Thor
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins
Director: Kenneth Branagh
Release Date: 29th July 2011
When heir-apparent Thor (Hemsworth) arrogantly ignores his king's (Hopkins) wishes, he is stripped of his powers and banished from the fantastical realm of Asgard. On earth, Thor must learn humility before his treacherous brother Loki seizes the throne in his absence. This is one of the best movies of 2011 because it was a difficult character and world to introduce to live-action, and Marvel did a very good job. It never strays too far into cheese, and Marvel's gamble that Kenneth Branagh would bring some Shakespearian gravatas to the court of Asgard paid off. Hemsworth is excellent as Thor.
16. Captain America: The First Avenger
Starring: Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Sebastian Stan, Hayley Atwell
Director: Joe Johnston
Release Date: 22nd July 2011
During World War II, skinny Steve Rogers (Evans) volunteers for an Allied research project which turns him into super soldier 'Captain America'. Soon he is up against Red Skull (Weaving), Hitler's head of weaponry, who intends to use a tesseract as an energy-source for world domination. This is an enjoyably old-fashioned adventure set apart from other comic book movies by its '40s atmosphere. The set pieces serve the narrative rather than the other way round and its filled with enjoyable, shaded performances.

1/4 cup soy sauce or to taste
3:Check the seasoning..Remove from heat and cool completely before store in clean air tight container.Serve as it's or with bread or rice or porridge..
What a great idea! I always love pork floss too. And same as your family, my family doesn't eat the pork in soup as well, we always end up throwing them away. Now I have a handy recipe to use my left over soup pork. Can't wait to try this out with my next batch of soup. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Great way to use leftover meat! Thanks
Wondering if you can do the same to make chicken floss?
Thank you ☺ and hope you like it..let me know how you do it.
Thank you ☺
Yes!! you can do that with chicken too!!
I can't wait to try this out, too. My favorite is eating it with bread, especially the white bread for kaya toast :)
I really like your blog. Please visit mine at http://delicious-macedonia.blogspot.com/
Very hard working ya. Are you preparing for CNY already?
Fantastic! I love pork floss but have never made it!
I like homemade floss. I sometimes do that too. I remember during my confinement month, there was so much chicken meat left over my mother-in-law turned them all into chicken floss. The flavour was just so awesome....wine and spices....mmmm. We gave bottles away to other family members and they were so thankful to us :D
if you make soup save the meat..if not just buy some lean meat to make this but must boil the meat first until tender..oh yes!! this floss is CNY goodies right?
Thank you for dropping by:) sure I will visit your blog soon!!
no...la,,where got hard working??? sometimes got mood,try to make this and that...oh yea..talking about CNY it's about the corner..I dunno,but if I make CNY cookies,I will make some nian gao or kuih ros aka bee hives cake for some friends....there is nothing much to prepare,maybe just deco home for Mishu to see..At least she know we also celebrate CNY..I bought few bags of CNY deco from Malaysia,so it's should be good..
Thank you:) yes if you always make soup,save the meat!!
I remember someone told me that floss from store is not really safe,we have no idea what type of the animal part it's..but we still love the store bought one bcos it's easy and delicious!.If I live in Asia now I'm sure not going to make floss myself but too bad the floss they sold here is very very expensive!! Chinatown in Manhattan there are few Malaysia Jerky store owned by Malaysian..I bought once or twice,it's taste OK but the price is really superb expensive!! a friend told me making jerky at home is easy but I yet to try...
Great recipe.
Look yummy.
I'll try it very soon.
You seem to have chosen the wrong Chinese character. What you have is ròu sū.

What are the types of machine tools?
Designed for manufacturing metal components, machine tools come in various shapes and sizes. Some modern tools have integrated computer systems, such as a CNC router, which makes the process a lot less manual than those without. Here are some of the different types of machine tools:
- Bench grinders - used for sharpening tools or shaping metal, these have a solid base and are secured to a workbench.
- Machine presses - can cut shapes using pressure; these can be automatic or manual
- Metal tabletop shears - used for cutting through metal plate
- Pillar and bench press drills - for drilling holes of various diameters into metal
- Lathe - rotates metal or wood at high speeds to enable the operator to shape it
- Milling machine - uses rotary cutters to shape the metal
Machine tool accessories
Accessories for machine tools can include items such as:
- Drill grinding attachments
- Lathe chuck guards
- Chucks for lathes
- Coolant systems
- Punch and die accessories

Bailey House, which has served low-income homeless and unstably housed men, women and families living with and affected by HIV/AIDS since 1983 and The Center for Independence of the Disabled, NY (CIDNY), a leading advocate for people with disabilities that has worked for over 30 years to remove physical and social barriers and to ensure that people with disabilities have the tools they need to live independently, provide for financial needs, and enjoy equal opportunities, announce a strategic alliance to improve the health outcomes of low-income men and women living with all types of disabilities – physical, sensory, cognitive, developmental and psychiatric. The two agencies are launching this initiative, Health Matters – which combines their expertise in housing, case management, health coverage navigation, entitlement advocacy and legal advocacy – to end barriers to care for affected New Yorkers with disabilities.
Goals of the alliance include ending barriers to health care for disabled New Yorkers who are often forced to use costly emergency and acute care because they are unable to easily access primary care or mental health services in their communities. Three key factors that increase emergency department care by adults with disabilities include lack of access to care and prescription medications, the complexity of individuals' health profiles, and disability status itself.
Susan Dooha, Executive Director of CIDNY, describes the alliance: "Our partnership will help break through the barriers that low-income New Yorkers with disabilities face as they try to maintain their health. Working with our partner Bailey House will ensure that people with the toughest health access challenges get prompt attention and services as a matter of course."
Regina Quattrochi, Bailey House's CEO, explains the objective of the collaboration: "We are excited to join forces with CIDNY to tackle health disparities often faced by New Yorkers living with disabilities. We know from the recent experience post Superstorm Sandy that some of the most vulnerable New Yorkers – the unstably housed, people with disabilities and the elderly – faced insurmountable barriers to obtaining critical care and services during a crisis. What's more disturbing, however, is that many face the same insurmountable barriers even when the City is operating normally. Health Matters will serve as a model of what can be done when two agencies with strong track records join forces."

A few other new things...
This is an Integrity FR16 dress being worn by Grace. It was too large for her in the upper back so I pinned about an inch. The wig is by Cheryl Wood. I love the purse! The outfit comes with a ring and matching stud (yellow rhinestone) earrings, a yellow/black enamel cuff bracelet and black shoes.
Poor Leonie. I haven't given this new doll more than a few minutes of my time. She will have to wait a bit longer for some good styling and photos.
Last but not least in any way is Talc. I love this doll. She got to try on another new Ficon outfit that reminds me of a tutu. The jewelry is Superfrock; wig by Cheryl Wood.

Norwegian Recycling
I am a 26 year old mashup-artist (both audio and video) who has since 2007 used internet and its web 2.0 tools to build a fanbase. I am active on twitter, facebook, youtube, myspace and ilike, but have reached a point in my career where I need a professional homepage to further develop and grow my fanbase. I want to move away from the amature "label" and a professional homepage is the best way to represent seriousness and professionalism.
I mostly remix popsongs that already have an identity around the world, but I also remix movies, speeches and other sources from popular culture. My whole philosophy is to reconstruct and recontextualize popular culture and at the same time entertain people. I'm constanly shaping my own unique sound, and I am trying to be as original as possible. I am a visual artist in the sense that I always remix videos to go along with the audio. When I remix movies and speeches I actually emphesize the video-part.

To make the finest cider, using the highest quality apples is imperative. We at Bull Run Cider are proud to have committed to growing the fruit we use in our ciders. As a result, we have an intimate knowledge and understanding of the fruit we use. We grow over 60 different types of apples. Some of which are traditional English and French cider apples while others are cider or dual purpose apples of American origin. The cider industry in the Pacific Northwest is in its infancy and as a result, there are relatively few people growing these type of apples. We aim to evaluate these varieties of apples not only to use in our ciders but to one day help other cider producers and orchardists have the utmost success growing cider fruit. In 2013 we harvested the first fruit from our three year old orchard.
In addition to apples, we have planted a perry pear orchard of over 10 varieties. If you are unfamiliar, pears are to perry what apples are to cider. They are specific varieties of pear that have been selected over centuries for the qualities that make great perry. Nearly all known perry pears are of European origin, most notably from England, France and Austria.
At present we have over 3,100 trees and are looking to expand this number to be a resource not only for our cider but to enable other cider producers to have access to the bittersweet and bittersharp cider apples that are necessary to make exceptional cider.

EPA Proposes to Remove Manville, New Jersey Site from Superfund List after Successful Cleanup
Release Date: 03/07/2014
Contact Information: Elias Rodriguez, (212) 637-3664, email@example.com
(New York, N.Y) After removing more than 450,000 tons of contaminated soil and cleaning up nearly 100 residential and commercial properties, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed to remove the Federal Creosote Superfund site in Manville, New Jersey from the Superfund list of the most contaminated hazardous waste sites. During the 1960's, homes and a commercial mall were built on top of contaminated land on the Federal Creosote site, which had been used for more than 30 years to preserve railroad ties by treating them with toxic levels of chemical creosote. The EPA and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection have determined that all necessary cleanup actions have been completed and the site no longer poses a threat to people's health or the environment. The EPA will continue to monitor ground water at the site and conduct periodic reviews to ensure that the cleanup continues to be protective. The public is encouraged to comment on the proposed deletion of the site through April 4, 2014.
"When EPA began its cleanup of the Federal Creosote Superfund site, people were living in homes built directly over contaminated soil and lagoons of creosote waste," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. "Today, the site has been cleaned up, the risks to people's health addressed and the community can use this once-contaminated property productively."
The Federal Creosoting Company began using the property in 1919 to treat railroad ties and poles with creosote wood preservative. During its operation, several buildings and multiple above-ground tanks contained creosote. The creosote was discharged through two unlined canals into two unlined creosote waste lagoons. In the center of the site, lumber treated with creosote was left to drip onto the ground.
When operations at the site stopped in 1956, the 50-acre property was purchased by developers. In the early 1960s, 137 single family homes were built on 35 acres of the site as part of the Claremont Development. The remaining 15 acres were developed into the Rustic Mall. The redeveloped property was built on top of the contaminated soil and the waste lagoons and, on at least one occasion, creosote sludge seeped into a residential basement sump and was pumped out into a storm sewer.
The Federal Creosote site was listed on the Superfund list in 1999. After extensive investigations at the site, the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which was brought in for its engineering expertise, approached the cleanup in three stages.
In the first phase, which began in spring 2001, the EPA addressed the buried lagoons and canals that still contained creosote and byproducts. Eighteen residential properties were acquired by the EPA and demolished in order to better reach the toxic source material, which was then excavated, treated and taken out of the area to a disposal facility. The excavation removed the major source of ground water contamination. In the second phase, which began in 2002, the EPA excavated contaminated soil containing high amounts of creosote from all residential properties in the Claremont Development. In 2005, the Rustic Mall was demolished by the mall owners and contaminated soil was removed by the EPA.
The EPA has monitored all the cleanup work performed at the site to ensure that the actions remain protective of people's health and the environment. The ground water has been sampled since 2006 and indicates that contaminants, while present, are no longer spreading from the site into the ground water.
EPA has concluded that the cleanup work has been successful and that the site can now be taken off of the Superfund list. Ground water monitoring will continue and the EPA will conduct a review of the site every five years.
The public is invited to comment on the proposed decision to delete this site from the Superfund list. The public comment period began on March 5, 2014. Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-SFUND-1999-0013 or by one of the following methods:
On the internet: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow on-line instructions for submitting comments.

Reality Check: Memphis BBQ Thickburger from Hardee's and Carl's Jr.
Reviews of fast food burgers and a look at how the real life version compares to the advertised beauty shot.
Oh, those wacky guys at Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are at it again. At least I assume they're all guys; who else decides to promote their new sandwich with a Twitter hashtag of #meatembrace? (And yes, there's a new TV ad to go with that. Keep reading.) Late last month, the closely-aligned chains introduced its new Memphis BBQ Thickburger, the latest in the chain's long-running tradition of multiple-meat burgers.
"Jay Leno first joked that we were using 'meat as a condiment for other meat' in a 2006 monologue on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to describe Carl's Jr. Pastrami Burger," Chief Marketing Officer Brad Haley actually seemed to boast in a press release. "Since then, we've introduced several meat-on-meat burgers, including the Philly Cheesesteak Burger, the Prime Rib Burger, and the French Dip Thickburger at Hardee's and/or Carl's Jr. Following in those delicious footsteps, young, hungry guys and gals will surely love the new Memphis BBQ Burger just as much."
Or not.
That's what my Memphis BBQ Thickburger (the third-pounder; there are also quarter-pound and Six-Dollar versions available) looked like: a sad, sad imitation badly in need of a food stylist to do some primping and plumping. "Smoked, pulled pork and a charbroiled beef patty [that have] come together in BBQ bliss with crispy onion strings, melting American cheese and Memphis-style BBQ sauce atop a sesame seed bun." That's how Hardee's/Carl's Jr. describes this new item. But that sub-Black Angus layer of pork, so lustily prominent in the PR pic, was all but absent from the burger I was given. It's only when I pried up the patty that I finally got a glimpse—and I immediately wished I hadn't.
I'll accept the inevitable compression that's bound to take place during the burger's assembly and wrapping; that pulled pork is sure to get smashed down considerably. But my right-out-of-the-box, free-association, Rorschach-test, knee-jerk impression was, "That looks like cat food." Shredded into superfine strands and tiny bits, it bore no resemblance to the big, meaty, just-pulled-from-the-pig hunks I had been led to believe I might see. And forget about any pieces of "bark," the crisp edges of blackened skin that barbecue fanatics treasure; this was commercially uniform in color and texture.
And while it doesn't appear at first glance that the pork is swimming in obscene amounts of sauce, that's precisely how the Memphis BBQ Thickburger tastes. As much as I love good 'cue, I find barbecue sauce on a burger to be way too overpowering. There's never any balance. From the first bite, the heavy vinegar content causes that familiar mouth pucker, an oh-crap-I-should-have-upsized-my-soda sensation, but it totally negates all of those other flavors that a cheeseburger is supposed to bring to the party. The burger's overall sensation: generic meat that tastes like barbecue sauce, with nondescript shredded meat that tastes like barbecue sauce, with some melted cheese that tastes like barbecue sauce, and some vaguely crunchy things that taste like barbecue sauce...and bread.
The sauce is Sweet Baby's Ray's, which is apparently the barbecue sauce of choice for the major suppliers of the fast food industry; it's what Burger King used on their BK Toppers and Chef's Choice LTOs. And while a Serious Eats taste test determined that Sweet Baby Ray's features that "ubiquitous BBQ flavor," it does make me chuckle a little bit that they're using a sauce born in Chicago to sell the quintessential Memphis experience.
As for the other components, there's not much going on. The "crispy onion strings" did provide a slight crunch, but not much in the way of onion flavor—maybe because they were doused in more sauce. Besides, why go overboard with toppings when you're using meat as a condiment?
And we're back to the #meatembrace thing. Hardee's/Carl's Jr. is as much about their racy ads—called everything from "sophomoric" to "softcore porn" by haters—as the sandwiches they promote. So yes, there's another babes-and-burgers TV spot out there. Titled BBQ's Best Pair (real subtle, guys), it stars models Sara Underwood and Emily Ratajkowski sharing a 'cue pit at a cookoff and doing the whole, "You got your chocolate on my peanut butter" thing, only with burgers and Boston butt...and lots of gratuitous T&A. (How gratuitous? YouTube made me sign in with my birthdate before showing me the "content flagged as inappropriate for some users.")
I have no problem with the tongue-in-cheek "what guys want" approach to fast food. But, please, have the burger to back it up. Kate Upton's Southwest Patty Melt was really good. The Memphis BBQ Thickburger is really...not. Unless you really, REALLY love barbecue sauce.

STAGE TUBE: Olympia Dukakis Talks WOMEN OF WILL Off-Broadway
Olympia Dukakis stopped by The Gym at Judson Theatre (243 Thompson Street, NY) to see the critically acclaimed play Women of Will recently. Following the show, the actress visited backstage to congratulate the show's creator and star Tina Packer and Ms. Packer's on-stage partner Nigel Gore. Click below to listen to what Dukakis had to say about Women of Will!
If Shakespeare had "bonus content," this would be it. Women of Will explores the Bard's characters, focusing on the "women of will," from Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing" to Viola in "Twelfth Night" and everyone in between, giving a unique and exciting perspective on some of the most well-known classics in the English language. A true tour de force performance, Women of Will, is the summation of Shakespeare & Company Founding Artistic Director Tina Packer's 40-plus years spent investigating all things Shakespeare; it is an exploration of the Bard's art and psyche as seen through the eyes of his female characters, and portrayed by two of Shakespeare's greatest modern interpreters - Ms. Packer and Nigel Gore.
Directed by Eric Tucker, Women of Will stars Tina Packer and Nigel Gore. The design team for Women of Will is: Valérie Thérèse Bart (Scenic & Costume Design), Les Dickert (Lighting Design), Daniel Kluger (Sound Design), and Katie Young (Production Stage Manager).
Scheduled January 29 through June 2, Women of Will performs Tuesdays at 7:00pm, Wednesdays through Fridays at 8:00pm, Saturdays at 2:00pm and 8:00pm, and Sundays at 3:00pm at The Gym at Judson (243 Thompson Street, at Washington Square South). Tickets are $75 General Admission. Tickets can be purchased online at www.WomenOfWill.com or by calling TheatreMania at 212-352-3101. There will also be a limited number of $25 student rush tickets available for each performance sold at the Box Office.Buy Tickets to Women of Will - click here.

Our core database has been forged from over 20 years of experience working with large enterprise applications. The goal of GoGoOffice is to make certain desirable features, traditionally found only in large expensive enterprise applications, available to small to mid-sized organizations via the newest advancements in cloud computing. Our system addresses many contemporary issues such as:
Capturing social media as a records

Electronic file management
Physical asset management including folder creation, tracking, and off-site storage management
With our user-friendly interface and scalability of cloud computing, you will be able to have global access to a premium records management system without the many technical frustrations and expenses associated with traditional enterprise software.
GoGoOffice will be providing cloud-based information management solutions to organizations interested in managing records and data associated with commerce and business. Our distant vision is to provide service to a global market but our initial client base will be for GoGoLegal - the legal community. The second offering will be for mid-sized medical groups and other professional services needing to manage records as well as content generated via social media communications.
We want a logo. We're open to ideas but we also want the name GoGoOffice somewhere included in the design. This can include an emblem along with the name GoGoOffice or a highly stylized format of GoGoOffice. We would like some type of distinction between the GoGo part and the Office part. Also, ideally, the emblem part would be able to act as a standalone logo. We are interest in our logo to be distinct, pleasing to look at and embodies dynamic and movement. Further, we would like it to represent skill and potentially include some type of illusion. However, please do not take these guidelines as restrictions to your creativity, we can forgo illusions. The logo will have a white background for the majority of the time, so this should be taken into consideration. Our initial offering will be to mid-sized law firms so the design needs to take this into consideration, meaning no overly whimsical designs! We want the logo in a vector format. Below are some links to some other logos we like.
(We really like the look and feel of the bird in this logo. We don't actually want a humming bird, however we like how he captured it.)
(The mint logo with the leaves as emblems)
