ALLENDALE � After two seasons as the starting strong safety for the�Grand Valley State football team,�there will be a�different view for Zeeland native Brad Horling when he lines up across from opposing offenses this fall.
The Lakers coaching staff made the decision to move Horling, a redshirt junior,�to linebacker this offseason�because of�the graduation of three starting linebackers and the team being deeper at the safety position.
"A lot of times, I'll have the same responsibilty I'd have as a safety," Horling, a 2011 Zeeland East graduate, said. "I'll still play man (pass coverage) on the same guy I would before. I'm kind of crosstraining though because I'll move back and forth from safety to linebacker this spring."
Horling, who missed all or part of four games last season�with a broken hand and pulled groin, will be heavily relied upon by the Lakers coaching staff.
"We lost three senior linebackers that had pretty much all of our tackles last season," Grand Valley State coach Matt Mitchell said after his team's Spring Classic inside the Kelly Family Sports Center on Saturday afternoon. "He's picked everything up incredibly well. He's great in pass coverage, but I think he's gotta learn a little bit more about pad level and physicalness when you're going against guards and getting down in that box and getting after it."
Jim Louis, first-year Grand Valley State co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, said�the switch to a linebacker spot isn't that drastic in the team's 4-2-5 defensive scheme.
"He understands our whole defense because he learned it backwards to forwards, so there are times when we're in a position meeting and I'll just go to him when there's things that I'm not clear on,"�Louis said.�"He's still got a lot of upside here in terms of what he can get done, so we're excited for that."
Horling was a little disappointed that he didn't get to participate in the 15 minutes of "live" hitting at the end of Saturday's practice, but he is excited to get on the field in his new role as more of a leader.
"That's what I've been working for," Horling said of being asked to step up his role. "Last spring, I was kind of more of a lead-by-example guy, but now I have to come out here and cognitively be aware that if I'm not talking, I need to start talking and getting some guys going."
All of the Grand Valley State players wore jerseys bearing the No. 32 of Jamie Hosford, a former GVSU athlete who played football, baseball, golf and wrestled during his time in Allendale in the 1970s. Hosford lost his battle with cancer last month at the age of 58. A check for $5,065 raised from donations at the door and purchases of the commerorative No. 32 jerseys worn by the players during the Spring Classic was presented to the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital at the conclusion of the practice.

California livin' Prince Harry, sex ambassador from the UK, was hanging out at a San Diego hotel pool last weekend when a young woman was tossed into the water fully clothed. Quel horror! Luckily the dashing Harry was there to rescue her.
The 23-year-old lady, now deeply in love, told the press:
Prince Harry was the first to notice me when I got out and he wrapped his towel around me to keep me warm. It was such a gentlemanly thing to do. He is probably the most charming man I'll ever meet.
The ever charitable Harry let the girl keep the towel and the next night he and his mates met up with her and her gals and they hit the town for "beer and shots."
What a magical weekend for this Cinderella! Whisked out of the cruel waters by Prince Charming, given a
single red rose hotel towel, and then taken out for an elegant evening of spirits and revelry. She will remember this for the rest of her life; scrubbing the cinders from the hearth and knowing, true knowing, that she shall never meet another man as gallant and noble as his grace.
Meanwhile, when reached for questioning Harry said "Who? Oh that bird from the pool? Yeah, she was all right." Ah, romance!

Dustin Phillips, who teaches at Pat's School of dance full-time, has traveled the world during his dance career. He's danced with the likes of Janet Jackson and Aaron Carter, but now calls Hendersonville home.
Dustin Phillips, who teaches at Pat's School of dance full-time, has traveled the world during his dance career. He's danced with the likes of Janet Jackson and Aaron Carter, but now calls Hendersonville home.
The decision to settle down in the city was an easy one for the successful dancer and choreographer. Phillips, 35, loves Hendersonville. He loves to teach dance. He also happens to love one of the co-owners of the dance studio, Sheraton Shepherd, and they have been dating for four years.
For most of his life, Phillips — a hip-hop and jazz dancer — has been a rolling stone. He grew up in Dunn, but after graduating high school, he he hit the road and landed in the water. Phillips worked on cruise liners before finding opportunities at Carowinds and Walt Disney World.
"I had a burning desire to be on stage," he said.
That desire led him all the way across the country at age 21, when he packed his bags and headed to Los Angeles. Once in L.A., he found the road to be tough. His life was about auditions and it became a "whirlwind." But he found success early and often.
In 2001, he got his first big gig. Aaron Carter, brother to the Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter, was exploding in popularity and Phillips traveled the world with the pop star as a backup dancer.
"It was cool," he said of dancing on tour. All the while, he was also dancing in commercials for companies including Nike and Quick Silver.
The year before he went on tour with Carter, Phillips started teaching dance. For so long, he had been the student and in some ways he still is, but the teaching aspect of dance caught his attention. His mind began to shift from the stage to backstage.
"I started to get calls to come into dance studios," he said.
Phillips didn't quit dancing, but began traveling the country as a teacher at conferences and in dance studios. This would lead him to Pat's School of Dance in 2004, and he's been teaching at the school since then for short stints.
Over the years he's also had backup roles for different events in which he danced with Janet Jackson, Brandy and All 4 One. He also danced in the Martin Lawrence comedy "Black Knight," which was choreographed by Paula Abdul.
In recent years, Phillips has choreographed the Alamo Bowl halftime show in San Antonio, the Champ Sports Bowl halftime show in Orlando, Fla., and the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. Most recently, he choreographed the halftime show of the NCAA college football national championship game between Alabama and Notre Dame.
With all that success, the studio still drew him in.
"I lost my drive to be on stage and I wanted to be behind the scenes," Phillips said.
He has taught all over the country and around the world in Australia, Germany, Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica. And even now, as he works in Hendersonville, he still travels to teach.
Hendersonville is his home base, and he's come full circle to his North Carolina roots.
"Everything aligned," Phillips said. "Sher's here. The studio's here. I could still work and choreograph from here."
There's also his local students.
"This studio is very talented," he said of the dancers.
And Phillips is going to add a lot to the talent of the studio now that he's in town full time, owner Pat Shepherd said. Phillips will be teaching boys' hip-hop, adult hip-hop and regular classes.
"He's going to be a valuable asset for sure," she said. "I'm just thrilled to have him as a part of the staff."
Phillips has danced in front of screaming audiences. He's taught students all over the world. All of that led to the moment when he could sit back and teach dance to a studio in Hendersonville filled with students eager to learn.
"I feel like this is home," he said.

On a general man to man basis Financial Planning is of more importance when compared to investment planning. If a man fails to save money, then where is he going to make the investment from? It is here that the need to emphasize on a strong financial plan comes to play. Financial planning is on a larger scale compared to Investment planning. Where investment planning is individual oriented, financial planning takes into account the needs of the individual and family. Financial planning is the process of assessing the financial goals of an individual at different junctures of his life. It takes into account all assets and investments that he already has and what others he may require to achieve his financial goals in the near future. The prime objective here is to ensure that the required amount of money is there with him at the time of an investment, thereby enabling him to meet his personal goals. This is how financial planning and investment planning relate to each other. Coming to the investment part, security along with profit is a big question?
Any investment depicts a clear picture of your current financial situation. Bifurcate your investments amongst various assets to reduce the risk factor. Asset Allocation is the best way to ensure that a particular investment made is a success. Monitoring your investment to maintain the allocation with your financial goals makes the investment tax efficient.
Following are certain points as to how one can better their investment and financial planning:
Investment Planning:
1) Create a Budget for Monthly Expenses: This enables you to get a clear picture as to where your expenses lie and how much unnecessary expenditure you could curtail to save a decent percentage of your income.
2) Paying of Debts: Once you clear of your debts, a certain amount of your expenditure is saved. This can be used for investment purposes.
3) Emergency Savings: Emergencies do arrive unannounced. One has to ensure that a certain amount is kept aside to meet these situations. These funds should be invested or kept aside to meet these situations. These funds should be invested or kept aside in investments that can be accessed anytime you need cash.
4) Investing in Long term Assets: Investing in long term Assets is a good decision. Purchasing a house is considered to be a good investment as payments towards interest and real estate taxes are tax deductible. Secondly the value of property increases with time. Other then this investing wisely in Mutual Funds, stocks and insurance will provide you with a good return on your investment.
Financial Planning:
1)Using a monthly spending plan or budget to keep finances on track
2)Making decisions about the job and its benefits
3)Getting the most out of other financial resources, including insurance and employer provided benefits.
4)Saving and investing money
5)Controlling expenses and staying out of debt.
6)Planning for estate transfer.
Generally people enlist the services of a financial planner prior to making any major investments. A financial planner is a professional who helps people deal with various personal financial issues through proper planning, which includes cash flow management, education planning, retirement planning, investment planning, risk management and insurance planning, tax planning, estate planning and business succession planning. While dealing with Mutual Fund Investments they are called �Fund

From OLPC
In order to support very low power operation, the XO laptop uses a secondary Display CONtroller, or DCON. This secondary controller is present in the video pipeline between the primary display controller (integrated into the processor or chipset) and the LCD panel. It allows the main processor/display controller to be completely powered off while still retaining an image on the display.
The following is a simple diagram detailing the various connections between the CPU and the DCON:
The processor initializes the DCON using the I2C interface. Typically, the DCON is in pass-through mode, where all video data is simply post-processed as needed for the LCD display and passed to the display. When the processor is about to enter suspend, it asserts the LOAD signal, and the DCON loads the post-processed image into its separate frame buffer and begins outputting that image instead of the video received from the primary frame buffer. Upon resume, the DCON is once again placed in pass-through mode.
The DCON ASIC provides several functions in addition to the secondary display controller functionality. These functions include anti-aliasing of the video and deswizzling in color mode, and luminance calculations in monochrome mode.
Additional Information
- The DCON Specification.
- DCON Data Sheet
- DCON Linux Driver
- XO-1.75 B1 prototype SKU198 does not have DCON RAM, but does have a DCON.

In truth, the Pontiac brand is not yet dead; it's only had its death sentence pronounced by General Motors, in an April 27 announcement about adjustments to its February plan for survival that was rejected by the U. S. Treasury Department. The pronouncement came after months of rumors and speculation.
In addition to announcing that Pontiac would be "phased out by the end of 2010″-20 months from now-GM said it would dispose one way or another of Saab, Saturn and Hummer by the end of this year, a mere eight months distant, in the process targeting a 42% reduction in dealer count by the beginning of 2011.
When all these cards are dealt, or dealt with, GM will still have a viable "step-up" product system with Chevrolet car and truck, Buick, GMC truck and Cadillac. Many of GM's dealerships lately have been Pontiac-Buick-GMC and Cadillac. I'll be willing to bet that for 2011 Buick will get some entry-level models, as they once had beginning in the Sixties, and it is conceivable they could be called Pontiacs or even have familiar Pontiac model names.
This announcement is very hard on GM people whose pride is grievously wounded whether or not they still have jobs and benefits. To the legions of Pontiac fans, especially the boomers who came of driving age just as Pontiac changed is image from stodgy to racy in the late Fifties, the news is nothing short of cataclysmic.
The Pontiac brand, introduced as a 1926 coupe and sedan, became the first major, uh, product step in Alfred P. Sloan's strategy to create "step-up" marketing of motorcars. Notably both Pontiacs were "closed" at a time when "open" cars were still the majority of those sold, one of many "firsts" known to Pontiac enthusiasts.
Three years earlier, by means of price adjustments, Sloan had rationalized GM's crazy quilt organization of different brands and companies acquired by founder Billy Durant starting in 1908.
In 1922, GM's car lineup consisted of five brands: Chevrolet, priced at $510 to $1,395, Buick from $865 to $1,395, Oakland from $975 to $1,545, Oldsmobile from $1,095 to $2,145, and Cadillac from $3,100 to $4,600.
This confusing overlapping stew was corrected a year later with this lineup: Chevrolet $490 to $795, Oldsmobile $750 to $1,095, Buick Four $935 to $1,495, Oakland $945 to $1,395, Buick Six $1,275 to $2,285, and Cadillac $2,985 to $4,600. Later came product feature step-ups, a straight eight in the Buick, for instance.
But GM decided it needed an easier step-up from Chevrolet-offered then only with a four-cylinder engine–so it introduced Pontiac as a one-price ($825) model with a standard six-cylinder engine, a companion to the pricier Oakland.
After international promotion around its quintessentially American "Indian" name, it could be said that Pontiac was an overnight success, but so were Plymouth and DeSoto a couple of years later. By the depth of the Great Depression in 1932, Oakland-a Durant acquisition in 1909–was gone but Pontiac lived on in its place.
From 1936 to 1956, Pontiacs were noted for their often heavily chromed waterfall front end appearance. Generally they shared GM's Fisher "A" Body with Chevrolet.
A flat-head straight-eight engine was added. Pontiac claimed to be first with a column shift, in 1938. For 1949 an "Indian" moniker, Chieftain, was introduced for the upper series. (more…)

Convertible Deals: November 2013
If you're looking for a new convertible, now's the time to buy -- while most shoppers are donning heavy coats and long pants. Our list of convertible deals will help you find a great car at a great price in November.
Chevrolet Camaro
The Chevrolet Camaro is a rear-wheel-drive, retro-themed sports car with four seats and coupe or soft-top convertible body styles. In November, Chevrolet is offering several enticing incentives on the Camaro. The best deals are available on 2013 models, as Chevrolet is touting 0 percent interest for 48 months and up to $1,500 cash back. But for drivers who want a slightly revised 2014 model, Chevrolet is touting 3.9 percent interest for up to 72 months and up to $500 cash back on all Camaro Convertible trims.
Find a Chevrolet Camaro for sale
Chrysler 200 Convertible
The Chrysler 200 Convertible is a midsize drop-top with four seats. In November, it's offered with several incentives. For drivers looking to pay with cash, Chrysler is offering $2,000 cash back on all 2013 models -- a deal that drops to $1,000 back, should you want a 2014 Chrysler 200 Convertible. For qualified shoppers looking to finance, Chrysler also has a deal available: 0 percent interest for up to 36 months on all 2013 Chrysler 200 Convertible models.
Infiniti G37 Convertible
The Infiniti G37 Convertible is a luxury drop-top with a folding roof, four seats and V6 power. While 2014 models are called the Q60 Convertible, Infiniti's only incentives are on the 2013 model, which retains its G37 name. Through the end of the month, shoppers interested in a G37 Convertible can get a 39-month lease with payments from $449 per month. The only catch? Taking advantage of that deal requires putting down $3,999 at lease signing. There's a silver lining, though, as this payment applies to a G37 Convertible with optional features such as Infiniti's premium package and a navigation system.
Jeep Wrangler
You may think of the Jeep Wrangler as a go-anywhere, off-road-ready SUV, but all Wrangler models offer a removable top for drivers who want to enjoy the sun as they cruise around off the pavement. While Wrangler incentives are rare, Jeep has a few lease deals available this month. Standard-wheelbase 2014 Wrangler Sport models start at $309 per month for 39 months after $2,499 down at lease signing, while the 4-door 2014 Wrangler Unlimited is a little more expensive. That model offers payments from $349 per month for 36 months after $2,499 down at lease signing.
Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet
The Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet is a 2-door, 4-seat soft-top convertible version of Nissan's midsize Murano crossover. If that sounds a bit odd, it is: The Murano CrossCabriolet is certainly the only vehicle in its unusual segment. In November, Nissan is offering 0 percent interest for up to 36 months on all 2014 CrossCabriolet models. The brand is also touting up to $1,250 cash back, or lease payments from $469 per month for 39 months after $2,999 down at signing.
What it means to you: Now that summer is over, our list of convertible deals will help drivers find the drop-top of their dreams at a budget-friendly price.

Quick sew draped skirt
Added Jul 30, 2013
by Moimisie
Paramaribo, Suri...
I haven't been able to do a lot of sewing these past months… so I finally had some time and I wanted something that would be quick and easy… I also wanted to try a petite pattern to see how it would fit and what adjustments I would have to make.
So here it is…. the fabric is from my stash. I've had it for some years now… It's a stretch jersey/tricot. Because the fabric doesn't fray I didn't finish the seams. I just cut them with a rotary cutter to get nice and clean edges. I also made the skirt about 5 cm longer because its for petites and I'm not petite…
According to the patterns instructions there is a zipper, but because I used stretch fabric I left it out.
All in all I'm very happy with my quick sew project…. more to come!

thanks… the drape may be a bit too much with this fabric… because I was constantly putting the pleats in their place… I think in a cotton they would have a little more stiffness…

March 25, 2009
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara softball team stretched its home win streak to four straight on Wednesday as the Gauchos swept visiting Santa Clara in a nonconference doubleheader at Campus Diamond. UCSB (16-12) posted 6-0 and 7-2 victories over the Broncos (5-25) to remain perfect in home contests.
During the first game of the twin bill, UCSB got on the scoreboard at the bottom of the second inning. Amanda Ziegler led off with a single to center field before Katie McWhirter reached on a fielder's choice. During the same play, the Broncos' first baseman committed a throwing error, allowing Ziegler to advance to third. A two-RBI single from Priscilla Perez during the next at-bat gave UCSB a 2-0 advantage.
At the bottom of the fourth, Perez posted her second single of the game to lead off for the Gauchos. Lainey DePompa followed with a single to the shortstop before Jackie Conlin brought Perez home with a base hit up the middle. One out later, Jessica Ziegler singled to left field, loading the bases for UCSB. Tiffany Wright was up next and the center fielder pushed the Gaucho lead to 5-0 with a two-RBI single to center field.
A sacrifice fly from A. Ziegler sent her sister home for the final run of the game as the Gauchos took the win, 6-0.
Perez was 2-for-3 with a run and two RBI in her first game back after sitting out with an injury. A. Ziegler went 2-for-2 with a run and a RBI and Wright was 1-for-4 with two RBI. Ramos rounded out the double hit performances, going 2-for-4 with a run.
In the circle, Krista Cobb (9-3) pitched the complete game and allowed just two hits. She struck out three and walked none in the win.
For the Broncos, Kaitlyn Rauschnot (1-13) pitched the full game and gave up six runs - five earned - on 10 hits. She had no walks or strikeouts.
The Gaucho offense struck early in the second game of the doubleheader. Ramos led off with a single to shortstop and then stole second. A sacrifice bunt from J. Ziegler put Ramos on third before Wright was able to reach on a fielding error by the Santa Clara right fielder, which also allowed Ramos to cross home plate. One out later, A. Ziegler hit a double to left center field, sending Wright home and giving UCSB a 2-0 lead.
In the second with two outs, Jackie Conlin reached on a Bronco fielding error and was followed by Ramos who hit a bunt single to the pitcher. During the next play, J. Ziegler singled to right center field sending Conlin home.
At the bottom of the third, UCSB's A. Ziegler and Perez posted consecutive singles with one out before a single from Katie McWhirter sent A. Ziegler home. A RBI single from DePompa put the Gauchos ahead, 6-0.
In the fourth, J. Ziegler led off with a triple to right center field before Wright got nailed by a pitch to put a pair of runners on the corners. Wright stole second right before Jessica Beristianos grounded out to second base, subsequently driving J. Ziegler home. A sac fly from A. Ziegler gave UCSB a 7-0 lead.
After 11 scoreless innings, Santa Clara was finally able to penetrate the Gaucho defense at the top of the fifth, a single from Nicole Picard followed by a walk from Jeanine Ruffoni put two runners on with no outs. One out later, both runners advanced when Noelani Ho'opi'i grounded out to first base. A two-RBI double from Amanda Edmonson sent home the lone Bronco runs of the game.
In the second win, Jessica Ziegler led the way going 3-for-3 with a run, a triple and a RBI. Amanda Ziegler went 2-for-2 with a run, a double and two RBI.
In the circle, Tami Weston (2-2) got the win after tossing five innings and allowing just two runs on four hits. She walked three and struck out two. MeLinda Matsumoto pitched two innings in relief and gave up three hits while striking out five.
Jenna Fong (3-9) took the loss after throwing four innings. She allowed seven runs - six earned - on nine hits.

For weeks now, I've been bursting to share some big news – and finally, today's the day! Beginning today, I am writing a weekly column for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch!
The column's very first recipe is for a fruity, creamy raspberry dessert, I think you'll love it! It's made with just three ingredients. Splenda is the sweetener, so this dessert is extra special for those who limit their sugar, dieters and diabetics, say. But put it on the table and everyone, I promise, will 'oooh' and 'ahhh' over its tangy creaminess.
Here in my home city St. Louis, the blood of hockey fans is said to 'bleed blue'. If so, then Kellogg blood bleeds black, ink-black.
The 'ink in my blood' comes naturally: my parents published small-town newspapers; so did all the uncles and aunts on my father's side; so did my grandparents; so did my great-aunt and great-uncle. Add it up: Kelloggs have been country newspaper people for four generations.
AND NOW THE NEWS! Beginning today, I am back in print again, this time with a weekly column for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch – that's St. Louis' big local newspaper, the one of Joseph Pulitzer and Pulitzer Prizes fame. (Will I continue to publish recipes here in Kitchen Parade and A Veggie Venture? Of course!)
The Post-Dispatch column is called 'Special Request' and is the newspaper's popular restaurant recipe request column, published in the Wednesday Food section. When someone writes the newspaper asking for a recipe from a St. Louis restaurant, my job is to ask the chef for the recipe, then to adapt the recipe for home kitchens. How fun is THAT??!!
The recipe for this light and fruity raspberry dessert is my very first published in the Post-Dispatch. From here on, Special Request recipes will only be published in the Post-Dispatch – and good thing, many of them are more complicated and calorie-rich than Kitchen Parade's recipe collection. Still, it will be fun! I've written four columns so far and love having the excuse to visit and get to know local St. Louis restaurants.
For readers who are interested, here's my first column, the Post-Dispatch gave it this headline, Fluffy raspberry dessert is sugar-free. For St. Louisans, I'm developing an online list of all the recipes published in Special Request, see St. Louis Restaurant Recipes. I am so excited about this opportunity to write for a newspaper of such importance and history here in my adopted home city of St. Louis!
One thing I'm already learning about chefs: they have cool kitchen tools! Many are out of reach to most home cooks. Who has the room? the money? A year ago, I'd have scoffed at something called a 'cream whipper' – but now I'm lusting after one because it does more than just 'whip' cream. The chef who developed this raspberry cream dessert uses one, creating a special texture that's cold and creamy and almost gelled. My friends at Kitchen Conservatory rave about their ISI Easy Whip cream whipper, asking, "Have you ever had chocolate whipped cream?" No, but I'd sure like to! Store owner Anne Cori calls a cream whipper My Favorite Party Toy.
Time to table: 2 hours
Makes 2 cups
- 12 ounces (340g) frozen raspberries, still frozen or thawed
- 1/2 cup (15g) Splenda
- About 2/3 – 3/4 cup heavy cream
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
In a saucepan, bring the raspberries and Splenda to a slow simmer, let cook until the fruit is soft, about five minutes, stirring often.
Transfer to a wire-mesh strainer with a liquid measuring cup underneath. With the back of a spoon, press the raspberries through the strainer, collecting the juice. Discard the seeds and solids and let the juice cool (see TIPS).
Eyeball the juice to see how much there is, then measure the same amount of cream into a separate mixing bowl. (For example, if the berries produce 2/3 cup of juice, use 2/3 cup of cream.) Whip the cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to go so far as to whip butter. Gently fold the raspberry juice into the whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate until cold.
To serve, spoon into pretty glasses or bowls. (For a tall narrow glass like a champagne glass, use a ziplock bag with a corner snipped.) If you like, top with a fresh raspberry or two. Very pretty!
ALANNA's TIPS Fresh raspberries work beautifully too. But frozen raspberries are quite inexpensive (check Trader Joe's if there's one nearby) and easy to keep on hand for a last-minute dessert 'splurge'. For a more rustic raspberry dessert with its own appeal, skip straining the juice. Instead, just smash the cooked berries and fold them into whipped cream made from 3/4 cup cream. Or save the solids and seeds to stir into morning oatmeal. Very good! Be sure that the juice is cool, otherwise it will 'break' the whipped cream as it's folded in. The raspberry cream will still taste good but the whipped cream texture will be lost.

The dessert looks fabulous, but, alas, I think we done did et up all the raspberries we'd put up last summer. Got lots of peaches still in the freezer, though, so I may try it with peaches, cooked with Splenda then blended before folding into the cream.
I LOVE copying restaurant recipes so maybe I'll have to write to the Post-Dispatch and put you to work finding a recipe for me :)
About whipping cream, I read recently that a food processor is wonderful for whipping cream in seconds; I've been meaning to try that.
Are chef's in restaurants open to sharing their recipes when you call them? I've always wondered how you go about asking.
And the whipped creamer, I'm getting that!!
My very best to you in your new journey. I couldn't be prouder than if it was one of my own that got the job.
Blessings to you, and above all, have fun.
Post a Comment
Thank you for taking a moment to write! I read each and every comment, for each and every recipe. If you have a specific question, it's nearly always answered quick-quick. But I also love hearing your reactions, your curiosity, even your concerns! When you've made a recipe, I especially love to know how it turned out, what variations you made, what you'll do differently the next time. ~ Alanna

Sanjaya, please leave this week! Phil and Haley please stay!
My guess is Hayley leaves this week. Sanjaya will come in 7th place. Have fun watching this week, I don't think I will be able to catch the episode until Wednesday, I'm going house hunting with my family. My guess with Tony Bennett is that Jordin, Lakisha and Melinda are going to be great and the rest will struggle.
I really hope so too.... If Sanjaya does not leave then I'll have absolutely nothing to say. Only the deserving deserve to remain in this competition. Phil and Haley definitely deserve to stay for at least another 2 to 3 weeks. Sanjaya, Sanjaya, Sanjaya... Haiz.... America please vote wisely. Don't keep the worst singer in this competition please. Thank you.
Sanjayjay has GOT to go. Although, I must admit, I am inspired by his hairstyles, and was able to TOTALLY rock the ponyhawk last week! :elvis: I think it is a new look for me.
Phil and Hayley in the bottom three with Lakisha making a surprise performance and Hayley leaving us. Sanjaya lives once again but I think his days are becoming numbered.
The word is that Nigel was on Ryan's radio show this morning and said tonight's result was a "huge shocker" and "the biggest in Idol history". The only way it would be a "shocker" is if Melinda, Jordin, Blake or Sanjaya leave. Lakisha could leave but then she would just be another Mandisa, no shocker there.

FALL RIVER — In just six months, Argosy Collegiate Charter School made the leap.
In February, it was a proposed grades-6-to-12 charter school awaiting approval from the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education that had existed solely on paper and in the minds of its founders and trustees.
Now, it's a school, with four walls, classrooms, 105 incoming sixth-grade students and a staff of 14 — including founder and executive director Kristen Pavao, a dean of students and a core of eight young and ambitious teachers.
That staff has been readying for Argosy's opening on Monday as the city's only new charter school since Atlantis Charter School opened two decades ago. The doors to Argosy's home in the former Susan Wixon School building on Hamlet Street were opened Wednesday evening, allowing its new families to explore their children's new academic space.
"Go, explore. Have fun," said social studies teacher Steven Yates, who greeted families near the building's entrance and motioned toward a wide corridor, with a glistening new hardwood floor, lined by two rows of lockers and classrooms whose doors were opened wide.
Families were greeted by other teachers and administrators, who smiled as they stood in the hall and near their rooms. Walls bore fresh coats of charcoal gray paint and large whiteboards.
The Wixon building itself, owned by Sherwood Building Co., has undergone a drastic transformation since April, when it was in need of rehabilitation. It had water-damaged floors and walls marred by chipped paint.
There appeared to only be one thing missing from each classroom: teachers' desks. But that was a conscious decision, educators said.
"That's usually a staple of a classroom. But this is not a place for us to be sitting. We're going to be actively engaging with students," math teacher Anthony Baumann said.
And the students' desks are not desks at all; they're tables, with two red and black chairs at each table so students can sit in pairs.
"There are going to be a lot of discussions," Baumann said, so having students sit at the same table "makes it easier for them to turn to each other."
"I never sit when I'm teaching," added Shantel Schonour, who an English language arts teacher. Two sets of paperback books sat on each table in her classroom. They were a dictionary and a copy of "Wonder" by children's book author R.J. Palacio.
Explaining her decision to join Argosy, Schonour said she had been a teacher for 10 years. She said she believes the school's educational philosophies and her own are aligned. Other teachers expressed similar sentiments.
That philosophy, simply put, is that all students can be scholars and have the ability to excel academically, they said. No matter where students are academically when they arrive as sixth-graders, by the time each of them graduates, they will be ready to enter college, officials said. Teachers promised differentiated instruction to accommodate students' different learning needs.
Outside Schonour's classroom, Dean of Students C.J. Ross could be overheard talking to a father and son.
"It's all about learning," Ross was saying, to assuage the boy's apparent nervousness upon entering a new school. "Have an open heart. You have to."
Parents sounded optimistic as they explored, holding folders and tote bags.
"It's nice," said Maria Costa, whose daughter Tatiana joins the inaugural sixth-grade class next week.
"I like this school," said Meghan Klassner, who toured the building with her daughter, Jasmine Torres.
Moses Dunmore said he hopes Argosy is a good fit for his son.
"I'm hoping it will be a different environment that gives him more one-on-one attention. Some students need that closer attention, more focus," Dunmore said.
In addition to the classrooms, there's a large refinished multipurpose room that can also be used as a gym. It had rows of chairs, a small stage and an upright piano near the room's entrance. There, science teacher Nate Fanning spoke with parents and handed out tote bags containing school uniforms.
Fanning, too, spoke optimistically about Argosy's mission.
"We'll be able to make an impact with our scholars," he said.
"What I love about here is learning the philosophy of the mission," said Cindy Arruda, a parent who spoke with Fanning. She explained she had been an educator previously. "That mission is going to be carried out here."
Pavao smiled as she walked through the building, greeting families. She summarized her feelings as Argosy prepares to open.
"Just joy, excitement and pride. That summarizes it," she said. "It's the culmination of efforts by hardworking people, the board of trustees — on so many levels. This is a big endeavor. Our goals are audacious. It requires great people."

Last night I dreamt that my teeth were falling out, crumbling in my mouth, as if they were made of sandstone. Some teeth were only slightly chipped, but several were worn down to nubs and the rest crumbled more with each breath and the roots showed through my gums and my mouth was so full of the bits and pieces I couldn't talk. I didn't want to talk because then the pieces of my teeth, the tooth shards, would fall out and get lost and if I could just keep all the pieces together then the dentist could put my teeth back together again. I had a cordless phone and a business card and I called the number on the business card because I knew it must be a dentist, but a recording answered and no matter what button I pushed I couldn't get through to a person and it wouldn't have mattered anyway because I couldn't talk or else I'd lose all the tiny bits and pieces I was just barely managing to keep together.
Is someone maybe just a little bit anxious?

Totally Not-Bat Crazy Woman Tries to Burn Down Ex-Boyfriend's Apartment to 'Get Closure'
Women – can't live with 'em, can't expect them to not try and burn down your house.
A Deerfield Beach, Florida woman was arrested last week after she took the very logical step of setting her ex-boyfriend's home on fire to gain closure on their relationship.
According to an affidavit, 26-year-old Kaelyn Marie Partenza reportedly showed up at Brian Morris' apartment "to get closure on her relationship with Morris."
Let's not get Morris fitted for wings and a halo just yet, though, because he's certainly no angel. Things started off poorly after he opened the door and pointed a gun at Partenza. They got into a physical altercation before Partenza ran out, without taking her remaining belongings (it should be noted she had still been living in the apartment with Morris – and his new girlfriend. And Florida wonders why it has a reputation.).
As Partenza ran off, Morris threw some boots in her direction, causing some bruises.
Partenza came back a short time later. She saw Morris looking through the front door, so she did what any bitter and irate woman would do – she grabbed some lighter fluid from a grill and set the door on fire.
Morris' new girlfriend proved her worth in spaded by putting out the blaze. Partenza is looking at charges of arson, while Morris also got hauled away for aggravated assault with a firearm/domestic violence and battery domestic violence.

Warm weather intermingled between a few winter storms moving through Arizona's high country in February has kept watershed snowpack levels below average and the water supply forecast sparse for spring.
"Our mountain snowpacks never reached average conditions this winter," said Larry Martinez, water supply specialist for USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service-Arizona office.
The March 1 report historically shows the maximum snow accumulation for the year, but this year the statewide snowpack is at 71 percent of the long-term average. The El Nino predicted to bestow at least average snowfall on Arizona never panned out.
"There is diminishing hope each day that passes for significant improvement to the state's snowpacks as springtime approaches March 20th and warm temperatures continue to melt the snow early," Martinez said.
Cumulative precipitation for the current water year, October-February, remains below average in the northern watersheds, ranging from 48 to 75 percent of the long-term average. October records show significant precipitation at the automated SNOTEL sites, which turned very dry across the region in November until the Nov. 28 winter storm that brought two to eight inches of snowfall to the mountains.
December produced some snow flurries, however, NRCS records show precipitation totals below 50 percent of average for the month. January brought the first significant snowfall of the season to Arizona and it seemed the weak El Nino would finally deliver heavy snowfall to the high country, but February turned dry with only marginal snow accumulations in the watersheds.
For February, precipitation amounts were 68 percent of average over the Salt River basin, 46 percent of average over the Verde River basin, and 70 percent of average over the San Francisco-Upper Gila River basin. The Little Colorado River basin received 72 percent of average precipitation in February.
March 1 reservoir storage remains steady for the most part compared to January 1 levels.
Overall, the six Salt River Project reservoirs held a combined total of 1,426,380 acre-feet in storage at 62 percent of system capacity. San Carlos reservoir held 286,000 acre-feet in storage March 1, which is 33 percent of capacity. Lake Pleasant held 721,803 acre-feet of usable storage March 1. Storage in Lyman Lake was 7,570 acre-feet. An acre-foot of water equals 325,851 gallons and is enough to supply two families for a year.

First Defense Legal Aid (FDLA), the only program of its kind in the country, fills the gap in Illinois public defender system by providing 24-hour free legal representation to adults and children in police custody or under police investigation. FDLA provides a unique frontline criminal defense experience for students, enabling them to see: how evidence is collected and created; the tactics of the Chicago Police Department when trying to extract a confession or question witnesses; the role that the Cook County States Attorneys Felony Review Team plays during the beginning stages of a criminal investigation; and the utter vulnerability of children and adults when under intensive and sometimes abusive interrogation. In addition to this stationhouse representation, DSLA also works toward the permanent improvement of our criminal justice system by educating the public, organizing community residents to combat police misconduct, by engaging in legislative and community advocacy, investigating patterns of misconduct by the Chicago Police, taking select criminal defense cases to trial, and initiating 42 U.S.C. §1983 litigation to improve the policies and procedures of the Chicago Police as they relate to the treatment of persons in police custody.
Students participating in the FDLA class must be eligible for a Illinois
Supreme Court Rule 711 license. Students representing FDLA clients
at Chicago Police Stations will gain unique insight into the criminal justice
system at its earliest stage and be able to:
1. View and Document Line-Ups, DNA testing, and Halt Lie Detector Tests.

Farmers in Ethiopia fight drought and climate change
Throughout most of his 55 years, Mohammed Hassen and his family have suffered during recurring droughts that have ravaged his district of Kalu, South Wollo Zone, in northeastern Ethiopia.
The country, once defined by rural poverty, is developing a strategy to address pockets of extreme poverty in its growing urban areas, and UNDP's pioneering satellite mapping is helping.
In Hassen's case, it has meant providing him and his neighbours with high-yielding seeds that are drought-resistant. Hassen's income has improved, and his large family is now able to enjoy three meals a day; he even has extra cash to buy school supplies for the children and to start saving for the future.
- With hundreds of thousands of drought refugees from the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia's rural communities struggle to provide stable crops during erratic rainfall. Thanks to a new project providing farming training, as well as drought-resistant seeds, many are increasing their crop yields.
- 100,000 Ethiopians are benefiting from the drought-adaptation project, a joint effort of UNDP and Ethiopia's Ministry of Agriculture (with financing of US $995,000 from GEF).
- In addition to providing high-yield, drought-resistant seeds, the program includes knowledge-sharing between participating countries and communities.
Hassen and his family are benefiting from a three-year UNDP and GEF pilot project covering four African countries—Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe—where the most recent drought has had disastrous consequences.
A key component of the initiative includes ensuring that participating countries and communities can share their drought and climate change experiences with one another, with the ultimate hope of achieving some kind of sustainable and transformational change in the face of the ongoing and worsening effects of climate change.
Drought refugees
Ethiopia absorbed about 275,000 drought refugees from the Horn of Africa in 2012 alone. The country's rural communities are already fragile, with increasingly erratic rainfall patterns magnifying a vulnerability to climate-related shocks and food shortages.
Saed Ibrahim, 41, knows all too well about food insecurity. His 400-square-metre plot used to produce less than 50 kilogrammes of food per year, forcing his family to be dependent for nine months of the year on government food relief.
While this arrangement helped keep his family from starving, Ibrahim felt frustrated and powerless.
"My family considered me a useless head of the household because of my inability to feed them," he says. "The time I asked my wife if we could have one more child she asked me, 'What are you going to feed it?' and I felt ashamed. We didn't have peace in our family because of our deep-rooted poverty."
The UNDP and GEF drought adaptation project helped Ibrahim join 200 fellow Ethiopian farmers on a 2010 learning tour to the southern part of Ethiopia to gain insight into water harvesting techniques, vegetable production and beekeeping. He applied what he learned and is now able to earn about $3,657 per year, in addition to owning $10,000 worth of livestock.
Ibrahim says he feels he is on his way to dealing with poverty, thanks to the expertise he accessed through the project. Today, the family vegetable plots are not only a source of income but also help provide much-needed nutritional balance to his family's diet.
"My daughter will not be forced into an early marriage due to a shortage of food, clothing and school materials," adds Aregash, Ibrahim's wife.
The project is also empowering communities to take charge of their crop-cycle planning with the introduction of easy-to-use early warning systems that can predict the rainy season.

The Bruins made some news at the end of the first full week of their off-season. Wingers Chris Kelly and Milan Lucic underwent surgery, and assistant general manager Jim Benning left to become Vancouver's general manager.
Bruins news, off-season edition:
- Friday, May 23: The team released a 3-sentence "update" from general manager Peter Chiarelli, in which he announced that left wings Chris Kelly and Milan Lucic had undergone surgery. "Both players," the update concluded, "are expected to be ready for the start of training camp."
Kelly's surgery, to repair a herniated disk in his back, was expected: Unable to play after sustaining the injury in an April 8 game at Minnesota, he told reporters during Break-Up Day on May 16 that he would be having an operation.
Lucic didn't know at Break-Up Day that he'd need surgery on his left wrist, but he didn't hide the fact that he'd injured it early in Game 7 against the Canadiens. Wearing a soft cast on his wrist at Break-Up Day, he said an MRI had been scheduled.
- Thursday, May 24: Reacting to the official announcement that assistant general manager Jim Benning had been named GM in Vancouver, Chiarelli and team president Cam Neely issued complimentary and congratulatory statements on the team's website. Chiarelli's statement added that "we will look internally and externally to replace that position."
It had become only a matter of time before Benning, whom Chiarelli hired roughly a year after taking over as Bruins' GM in the summer of 2006, got a No. 1 job. He had interviewed for other vacancies, most recently those in Buffalo (he worked there for 12 years before joining the B's) and Washington.
Benning's responsibilities centered more on the pro side (trades, free agent signings, etc.), while Don Sweeney, Chiarelli's other assistant GM, has focused more on prospect development: He's a regular presence at AHL Providence, where he still gets on the ice to work with players, and he sets up and runs the Bruins' annual development camp for drafted and potential prospects.
A member of Chiarelli's staff since the summer of 2006, Sweeney has also been given permission to interview for jobs outside Boston. He has reportedly interviewed for the vacancy in Washington.

Mikkel Boedker scored the winner in the shootout as the Phoenix Coyotes clipped the San Jose Sharks, 1-0, on Saturday.
After Michal Handzus was stopped by Mike Smith, Boedker skated in on net and faked to the backhand before lifting it over a sprawled-out Antti Niemi.
Smith then kept out James Sheppard's wrister before Radim Vrbata sealed the win by beating Niemi with the same fake and shot as Boedker.
Smith made 33 saves to post his second shutout of the season and 21st of his career for the Coyotes, who have won three of their last four games.
"He was excellent," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "Made some big saves at the right times, some tough saves on shots from the point that came through a lot of traffic. Obviously, when you don't give up any goals in a game with a shootout, your goalie gives you a chance to win, and that's what he did tonight."
Niemi made 21 stops for his 20th career shutout and first of the season for the Sharks, who have dropped four straight after opening the season with seven straight wins.
Smith made 15 saves in the first two periods before turning aside 15 in the third and three in overtime.
"He likes to play deep in the net and he was catching everything," Sharks forward Ryane Clowe said of Smith. "He was grabbing pucks out of the air. He played great."
Niemi's busiest period was the first when he made nine stops as the San Jose defense limited Phoenix to just 12 shots the rest of the way.
Game Notes
San Jose starts a six-game road trip in Columbus on Monday ... Phoenix plays in Colorado on Monday ... San Jose took a 5-3 win over Phoenix on Jan. 24 after dropping four of six last season ... Phoenix went scoreless on three power plays while San Jose failed to score on four.

The Way to a Memorable Burger Is Through the Patty
Burgers May Be a Ubiquitous Summer Staple, but They Don't Have to Be Predictable
Burgers may be a ubiquitous summer staple, but that doesn't mean they have to be predictable. "It's really an opportunity for a chef to show some style and creativity," says Kevin Hickey, executive chef and partner of Bottlefork restaurant in Chicago.
Mr. Hickey, who has friends over for cookouts in his backyard once or twice a month in the summer, says his first focus in creating a memorable burger is the patty. "I'm all for creativity and adventuresome creations, but the most important part about a burger...
