Victorian English Gentlemen's Club
Bag of Meat
This Is Fake DIY Records
Although their band name suggests otherwise, there is nothing remotely old-fashioned about The Victorian English Gentlemen's Club. Their music is fresh, catchy and distinctly now, and this perfectly crafted third album is one that the cool indie crowd will be sure to covet.
Released in good time for summer, it is easy to imagine Bag of Meat providing an ideal soundtrack for the long and exciting drive to a festival or the garden party where everyone wants to hang out. It's upbeat, toe-tapping, infectious stuff; the driving beats of the title track and My Imagination Can't Save Me Now in particular will get into your head and stay there.
It is also refreshing in this technological age to discover a band with real mastery of their instruments. Guitars, percussion and a lead vocal reminiscent of Suede's Brett Anderson reign here, and it helps that all of this alternative goodness is offered in bitesize chunks: all but one of the 11 tracks run for a Britpop-perfect 3 minutes or so.

What fun!
Sadly, anything I can do with this game would still look better than the mess I'd make with real icing. - March 12, 2011 at 9:47 AM

I *LOVE* this!!
Is it wrong that when I saw the font used for the alpha/numeric characters the first thing I wanted to write was, "Suck it, Trebek"?
Also, I wish there was a way to share my "creations" with friends... - March 12, 2011 at 9:52 AM

So much awesomeness!
@Ellen: it's okay to make a mess with real icing when you're having fun at home, especially with your family. You just don't sell it, that's all. :)
Experiment with cake, have fun, make a wreck, then eat the evidence! Nom nom nom! - March 12, 2011 at 9:56 AM

Time for a lesson on how to share your creation in Windows:
1. Click and keys at same time.
2. Click in lower left corner, then , then , then
3. Click inside the white box
4. Click in upper left corner, then
5. Click in upper left corner, then , then
6. Type in the name of your creation
7. Click
Your creation is now saved (probably in My Pictures) and can be shared with the world just like a photograph.
That concludes our computer class for today. - March 12, 2011 at 10:32 AM

What does it say about me that the first cake I made was completely obscene?
FUN! - March 12, 2011 at 11:29 AM
Lots of fun, and I could see this becoming a real game -- maybe a card game where you have to collect/swap "parts" to make a cake(wreck)!

Carrot Fight
"There was peace in the little valley, where the moose frolicked among the trees and babies with their llamas freely roamed the land. But, all that changed as the carrot jockies descended their pink stairways to rain doom upon them all...and also sprinkles."
On a game dev note, at first I was bummed that you only get 1 of every letter, so you can't repeat an r for the word "carrot"...but then I realized that having to omit or substitute letters is half the wrecky goodness. - March 12, 2011 at 12:17 PM
I WANT SPRINKLES!!! I can't get the sprinkles to move. Other stuff, yes, but not sprinkles! NO FAIR!!!

You have to grab the sprinkles in just the right spot.
It needs more sprinkles, though. - March 12, 2011 at 12:37 PM
This was awesome! I've got the carrot jockeys on the stairs and the moose pooping... not enough poop swirls... love this! really should be a game...
- March 12, 2011 at 12:44 PM
WooHoo!! Wrecky game!!
Do we get extra points if we use everything available??

Bwaahahahaa! I wanted the baby to ride the moose thing, but the baby shows up behind it. Then I realized the moose could ride the baby, and it was so much better. Thanks! Lol!

For those people having trouble moving the sprinkles, I know, I tried really hard to make them movable! I added the giant white sprinkle in the bottom left corner as a handle to get them to move more easily.
This is my second drag-and-drop game ever. I'll do better next time!
And thanks for the love for the parts that work how I wanted them to! =D - March 12, 2011 at 1:46 PM
Cake Wrecks: The Board Game!
Just needs some cupcakes and big chocolate chip cookies! Carrot Jockeys that face either direction! Crazy sprinkles! Scary icing roses!
Cardboard cakes, static sticker decorations! Add a timer and you're set! - March 12, 2011 at 1:58 PM

This is wonderful. I made a world-class wreck on my first try even though I ran out of Naked Mohawk Baby Carrot Jockeys very quickly. Thanks for creating it.
(A couple of extra alphabets, preferably in colors that clash with the pink, would be helpful in misspelling words with repeat letters.) - March 12, 2011 at 3:34 PM
@ JRose: Thank you for the sprinkles tip - knowing about the "handle" sprinkle made my life much easier!
. . . although my "I want sprinkles cake" was still much too tasteful - must go and try again! - March 12, 2011 at 4:01 PM

@Kimberly - oh, I know. I've made some wrecky things in the past, and am happy that nobody is expected to pay for them!
My family is mostly from the "as long as it tastes good" school of thought, so nobody's disappointed.

DAng it. My wreck is a wreck... no matter what I do, it STILL turns out pretty (er than any of the blogged wrecks in the past)

Sweet! Thanks so much J. Rose! Imagine the possibilities...like a cake that says "I want sprinkles" on one tier and "'Good luck'" on another...
- March 12, 2011 at 9:17 PM
So awesome!
- March 12, 2011 at 9:57 PM
Way to go, J Rose!
This could be a cool online game -- people could take turns being the wreckerator, while messages from 'customers' are randomly garbled to simulate the order-taking process. (Bonus points for messages that are factually questionable, because most people see humor in that stuff.)
Note: such wrecky elements as 'balloons', fondant cracks and indecipherable script can be added freehand to a screen capture in Paint or other drawing program.
I was kind of offended that there are no beads and no way to know whether the cake is baked or deep-fried, but I got over it before I finished typing this sentence.

For some reason, your program deleted the keys to press for saving the screen shots (see 10:32am). Apparently it doesn't like the less-than and greater-than symbols. Let's try again:
1. Click Fn and Prnt Screen keys at same time.
2. Click Start in lower left corner, then All Programs, then Accessories, then Paint
3. Click inside the white box
4. Click Edit in upper left corner, then Paste
5. Click File, then Save As, then JPG
6. Enter a file name, then click Save. - March 13, 2011 at 10:23 AM
Feedback to the artist: The sprinkles would be easier to use if you brush a transparent layer behind it in the group or "clickable" zone.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

Confession: I'm a thanksgiving traditionalist. I'm happy to try new recipes all year long, but when it comes to that Thursday in November, I want nothing more than turkey, cornbread & biscuit dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows, and cranberry sauce out of a can.
I love thanksgiving to taste like home. It might be my favorite thing about the holiday, actually. The ritual of same. I love making the same pie, the one I know my dad loves, I love the familiar taste of each dish. While I know it's far from the most important thing about the day - it's a part that makes me happy.
This soup? Most definitely won't be on my thanksgiving table. But it's perfect for these chilly days just before.
I originally picked up a kabocha squash at the market because I loved the color, dark green with splotches of orange, but now is my new favorite thing. It's sweet and creamy, and wonderful roasted. I had some sad-looking sage hanging around at the back of fridge that needed to be used, so I added it in and I love how the flavors combine.
What about you? Thanksgiving traditionalist or are you all about trying new methods & flavors?
Roasted Kabocha Squash Soup
from epicurious
1 (4-lb) kabocha squash halved and seeded
1 cup vegetable oil
20 whole fresh sage leaves plus 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
1/4 lb sliced pancetta coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
Roast squash:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Roast squash, cut sides down, in an oiled roasting pan in middle of oven until tender, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, scrape flesh from skin.
Fry sage leaves while squash roasts:
Heat vegetable oil in a deep small saucepan until it registers 365°F on a deep-fat thermometer. Fry sage leaves in 3 batches until crisp, 3 to 5 seconds. Transfer leaves with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
Cook pancetta and make soup:
Cook pancetta in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until browned. Transfer pancetta with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Add olive oil to pancetta fat remaining in pot, then cook onion, stirring, until softened.
Stir in garlic and chopped sage and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add squash, broth, and water and simmer 20 minutes to blend flavors.
Purée soup in batches in a blender, transferring to a bowl. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.) Return soup to pot and reheat. If necessary, thin to desired consistency with water. Stir in vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve sprinkled with pancetta and fried sage leaves.

BADINGS, HENK: More Electronic Music by (dbl CD)
Another collection of prescient and historic works by the remarkable and pioneering Badings, not sketches but fully formed pieces which, though dating from the late 1950s, sound more engaging and imaginative than much that is produced today. CD one holds 3 pieces: Capriccio (1959), one of the first works for acoustic instrument (violin) and (2) tape(s), Genese,(1958) for 5 frequency oscillators, and Dialogues for man and machine ((also 1958, busy man) a 20 minute radio piece for electronics and (processed) voice that is pretty off the map. CD2 features the 45 minute soundtrack for a multimedia event The woman of Andros (1959) which mixes pitched and unpitched sounds, melodies and rhythms, abstract textures and moods, and sits somewhere between a music that might have been composed for monophonic instruments and purely electronic sounds. It's closer to a strange, abstract, kind of pop music than anything else; an epic curiosity. This is followed by act 3 of Martin Korda D.P (1960) an opera for many voices and, in this extract, electronics - otherwise it's very conventional. The last track is Toccata (1964) a fugue of bleeps and bloops. In a very nicely designed package with useful booklet.

About Cleveland
Cleveland, officially the City of Cleveland, is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Cuyahoga County. Located in Northeast Ohio along the southern shore of Lake Erie, it is situated across the U.S. maritime border with Canada and lies approximately 60 miles (97 km) west of Pennsylvania. Cleveland ranks as the most populous city on Lake Erie, the second-most populous city in Ohio, and the 54th-most populous city in the U.S. with a 2020 population of 372,624. The city anchors the Cleveland metropolitan area, the 33rd-largest in the U.S. at 2.18 million residents, as well as the larger Cleveland–Akron–Canton combined statistical area, the most populous in Ohio and the 17th-largest in the country with a population of 3.63 million in 2020.Cleveland was founded in 1796 near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River as part of the Connecticut Western Reserve by General Moses Cleaveland, after whom the city was named. Its location on the river and the lake shore allowed it to grow into a major commercial and industrial metropolis by the late 19th century, attracting large numbers of immigrants and migrants. It was among the top 10 largest U.S. cities by population for much of the 20th century, a period that saw the development of the city's cultural institutions. By the 1960s, Cleveland's economy began to slow down as manufacturing declined and suburbanization occurred. The city has since developed a diversified economy and gained a national reputation as a center for healthcare and the arts. Cleveland is a port city, connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Its economy relies on diverse sectors that include higher education, manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, and biomedicals.

[tapping microphone] HellOOOooo! Is this thing on?
Huh. Well, apparently, everybody who reads this blog is either recovering from eggnog hangovers or camping in a secluded cabin in the wilderness with no internet service or toilet paper. So.
It's just you... and me.
[spritzing breath spray] [dimming lights] [slipping on red velvet smoking jacket]
Well, hello there. Come here often? Me, too!
So...seen any good movies lately?
Ah, I loved Mary Poppins when I was a kid. Sadly, I haven't seen it in like 20 years so I'm just gonna assume that this cake makes total sense.
In case you weren't one of the eight people who saw A Bee Movie, this guy is from A Bee Movie. Which was aptly named. Unless maybe they'd gone with C or D movie, of course. [zing!] This cake, however, is A+ all the way.
Well, they did make a Phantom of the Opera movie. Which was pretty good, as I recall. By which I mean I recall lots and lots of cleavage. Mrow. Sadly, this cake is a bit of a bust in the cleavage department, though. [bah-dum-CHA]
Awww, check out this adorable Wizard of Oz cake and cupcakes! Love the "tornado" at the bottom. (Is it wrong that I'm singing "The Wizard and I" in my head right now?)
Ok, now I have the Raiders theme stuck in my head. And this cake is face-meltingly awesome, too. (See what I did there?)
Wow. This Mad Hatter's hat from the latest Alice in Wonderland movie is the sum of awe. Or awesome. Or both. I'm digging the tiny tea sets and the "fabric" texture.
And finally, my most favorite favorite:

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- President Barack Obama pushed for a higher minimum wage at a re-opened manufacturing plant Wednesday because he says Americans who work full time should not be in poverty.
The president followed up his call for the increase from $7.25 to $9 an hour in Tuesday night's State of the Union address with a trip to North Carolina, attempting to reach voters outside Washington on the plan.
Canadian-based Linamar Corp. opened a former Volvo plant in Asheville that had gone dark and rehired some of its workers. Obama touted it as an example of America attracting jobs from overseas.
He says the key to reviving America's economy is to bring more jobs to the United States, give Americans the skills they need to perform them and provide those workers with a decent living.
"There's no magic bullet here, it's just some common sense stuff. People still have to work hard," he said, arguing that just a few structural changes could have an outsize impact. He said he needs Congress to help pass his initiatives.
"It's not a Democratic thing or a Republican thing," Obama said. "Our job as Americans is to restore that basic bargain that says if you work hard, if you meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead."
"If you work full time, you shouldn't be in poverty," Obama said to applause.
But House Speaker John Boehner was not warm to the plan.
"When you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it," he told reporters Wednesday morning. "At a time when the American people are still asking the question, where are the jobs? why would we want to make it harder for small employers to hire people?"
Linamar produces heavy-duty engine and driveline components. The company has hired 160 workers at the Asheville plant and will hire 40 more by the end of the year, Obama said.
The sleeves rolled up on his white dress shirt, Obama stopped to chat with workers at the plant, patting them on the back as he inspected the equipment. He signed some type of large red toolbox and later posed for photos with what appeared to be a few managers from the plant.
His remarks had all the trapping of a campaign-style rally — the barricades, the platforms and professional lights, and patriotic music drowning out the cheers of a few hundred people who gathered inside the factory to hear him speak.
Obama will make stops in Atlanta on Thursday and Chicago on Friday to continue pushing his second-term agenda outlined in the State of the Union address.
In his bid to boost manufacturing, Obama is launching three "manufacturing innovation institutes" — partnerships among the private sector, the federal government and colleges "to develop and build manufacturing technologies and capabilities that will help U.S.-based manufacturers and workers create good jobs," according to a White House fact sheet. He is asking Congress to create 15 more institutes.
The proposal is a central element of Obama's plan to spur manufacturing, which has been a bright spot in the U.S. economy. Manufacturing expanded at a much faster pace in January compared with December.
The White House outlined other steps the administration says it will take to continue improvements in manufacturing, which it says added 500,000 jobs the last three years after shedding jobs for more than 10 years.
Among the steps:
—Reforming the business tax code to end tax breaks to ship jobs overseas.
—Expanding a program to help governors and mayors bring in business investment from around the world.
—Strengthening enforcement of trade laws and taking new steps to open markets in Europe and Asia.

As this Sunday is Halloween, I find it only fitting to share with you one of my favorite candies, and flavor combinations in general: The sweet-and-salty, delectably creamy sea salt caramel.Simple to pop on your tongue and let melt in your mouth, but just as simple to make in your own kitchen with a pot, a spoon and a baking dish. Nope, you don't even need a candy thermometer.
The combination of smooth, sweet caramel and slightly crunchy salt crystals may seem unusual at first, but it's just that intense flavor that makes it impossible to stop after just one of these candies.
In a nutshell, here's how the process goes: You boil sugar, evaporated milk, and heavy cream. Next, add the light corn syrup, paying attention to the temperature of the mixture with a thermometer. Then goes in the butter and vanilla extract. Stir, stir, stir. Wait until the temperature rises a little more, and move the caramel to a cool burner. Try not to stick your finger in it. Add sea salt, pour it into a pan, stick it in the fridge to cool, and PRESTO!
You have a delicious, diverse candy that can be given as holiday gifts, stuck in the center of your favorite dessert (try 'em in the middle of these mini molten cakes), plopped into a cup of coffee, or simply gobbled up on its own.
I know you will just love the combination of silky, soft caramel and crunchy sea salt in these candies. The ingredients are easy to find, they're not too time consuming, and it doesn't take a master candy maker to make 'em perfect. Trust me. If I can do it, you can, too.
Oh, and Happy Halloween! Make sure to stay safe, wear a funny costume, and if you have kids, confiscate at least a little of their candy for your own stash. ;)
Speaking of sweets… What's your favorite Halloween candy?
Sea Salt Caramel Candy
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
- 3/4 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cups light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
- Oil or cooking spray
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring sugar, evaporated milk, and heavy cream to a boil over medium heat. Add corn syrup and continue cooking until mixture reaches 220 degrees F.
- Add butter and vanilla; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until caramel reaches 225 degrees F. Remove from heat, stir in salt, and carefully pour into a lightly oiled 9" x 13" baking dish (parchment paper in the bottom of the pan is helpful).
- Let cool at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Invert onto a cutting board covered with waxed or parchment paper and cut into 1-inch pieces with a sharp, lightly oiled knife. After cutting, sprinkle each piece with a few flecks of coarse sea salt.
- Caramels can be wrapped in waxed or parchment paper or cellophane. (To serve candy-store style, wrap individual pieces in waxed or parchment paper and secure the ends with a simple twist.) Store airtight at cool room temperature (around 65 degrees F) or in the refrigerator; will keep up to 3 weeks.
- Enjoy!

Today a quick recipe to sweeten your weekend. We've been going to the strawberry fields quite often the past week. This year they are exceptionally sweet and juicy. After the rains left we've had nothing but sunny and warm weather and it seems that the strawberries enjoyed the extra sun they got. They are perfect and so tempting that there is no resisting.
One day this past week I missed lunch and in the afternoon when I picked Soeren up my tummy grumbled at me for not taking care of it. I decided to hit the strawberry fields with Soeren, not only to satisfy my hunger but also to pick strawberries for a few dessert ideas. After we literally devoured several of the aromatic berries and filled up our tummies we began picking. It was just Soeren and me and these are some of my favorite moments with my son.
We were fairly alone on the huge field and as the days stress wore off, Soeren began telling me all about his fantasy of living in Strawberry City. It was a fun fantasy at first - where everything was made out of juicy strawberries. Later we realized it would be a bit monotone as we'd miss several of the other fruits we love so much.
As our baskets were filled he asked what I was making for dessert - it was easy - something that featured strawberries of course.
All three of us love creamy desserts and one of our favorite types is often made with plain milk or cream, thickened and flavored. Panna cotta, malabi, Bavarian cream and of course blancmange (Blanc Manger) are just a few to name. While I've made several types of panna cotta (just need to visit my recipe index to see what I mean), I never actually made blancmange at home.
I landed on Aran's recipe and found her twist of using crème fraiche and whipped cream very intriguing. The fact that the results would be more mousse-like and light was perfect for the hot summer day. Instead of the crème fraiche however, I added plain quark to give it a slightly more tangier flavor complementing the gorgeous sweetness of the strawberry compote.
The strawberry compote itself is a simple yet luscious combination of the berries some icing sugar and a dash of balsamic vinegar.
All in all a perfect fresh, fruity and light dessert to enjoy after a fantastic day at the strawberry fields!
Printable version of recipe here.
For the Quark Blancmange
(adapted from Cannelle et Vanille)250g plain quark
350g heavy cream
2 vanilla beans
75g fine sugar
3 gelatin leavesFor the Strawberry Compote
300g strawberries, hulled and halved
2 tablespoons icing sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegarMethod
- Soften the gelatin in ice water for approx. 5 minutes. In the meantime whisk heavy cream, vanilla and sugar until sot peaks form.
- Squeeze access water out of the gelatin and place in a saucepan. Remove approx. 2-3 tablespoons of the whipped cream and over a very low heat stir the mixture until the gelatin has dissolved.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into a clean bowl, then add about 1 cup of the whipped cream and whip further to temper the gelatin. Now fold in the rest of the cream. Without tempering the gelatin with part of the cream first will cause the gelatin to set quickly and create chunks in your cream mixture.
- Now gently fold in the quark into the cream. Divide the mixture into 6 small dessert glasses or one large bowl. Place in the refrigerator and allow to set – approx 4-6 hours. If you are using individual glasses fill only 3/4 full.
- Combine strawberries and about 1 tablespoon icing sugar and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and allow to cook at medium heat, stirring occasionally. After 8 to 10 minutes the compote should have thickened and be pulpy. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Serve blancmange with strawberry compote. If using individual dessert glasses pour the compote into the glasses, otherwise portion the blancmange into individual bowls or plates and spoon the compote over the top.
If you like a bit of crunch to this dessert add some nuts like pistachios or macadamia nuts. I love a sprinkling of broken meringue cookies or some crushed amaretti biscuits.
This picture says it all. It was so good that every trace of the dessert was wiped – or should I say licked clean! The blancmange had the consistency of very soft cheese, the quark rounding it up to give it a slightly zesty flavor. The whipped cream was just perfect for this dessert as it gave it a wonderfully light and fluffy texture. Together with the aromatic and sweet strawberry compote the dessert got thumbs up all around.

The National League Central has a reputation in some quarters, and that reputation isn't entirely good. It also isn't entirely fair.
Over the past 10 seasons, the Central produced the most playoff teams of the three NL divisions, as well as the most NL pennant winners. And once again in 2013, the odds are good that multiple playoff teams will come from the NL Central.
The clubs in best position to do that are the ones that did it last year. The reigning champion Reds made a nice upgrade to their lineup, bringing in Shin-Soo Choo to lead off, but otherwise bring back most of a club that won the division by nine games. The Cardinals lost two starting pitchers from their end-of-year starting five, but they're confident in what they have to replace Chris Carpenter and Kyle Lohse.
So it's no exaggeration to say the rest of the division is chasing the Redlegs and Redbirds. After all, one or both of those two teams has made the postseason in each of the past four seasons.
Each of the three challengers has reason to think it's closer to the top. The Pirates made a major upgrade at catcher, and they're counting on steps forward from some promising young players. The Brewers believe they fixed the bullpen that cost them so many wins last year. The Cubs overhauled their rotation, likewise fixing what was their biggest problem in 2012.
They're all still chasing the Reds and Cards, but they may be getting closer.
You may notice someone has been left out of this discussion, by the way. That's because there's a little more elbow room in the Central this year. Formerly baseball's most populous division, it's now down to five clubs thanks to the Astros' move to the American League West.
We polled our NL Central beat writers -- Brewers reporter Adam McCalvy, Cardinals reporter Jenifer Langosch, Cubs reporter Carrie Muskat, Pirates reporter Tom Singer and Reds reporter Mark Sheldon -- and asked them to rank the clubs in four major categories as well as to give some input as to the race as a whole.
This was the closest call, and a true three-team race. Milwaukee led the NL in scoring last year, a mere 11 runs ahead of St. Louis. Cincinnati was well behind in ninth, but will have a full season of Joey Votto and new acquisition Choo. All three clubs have deep, dangerous lineups. In the end, it's the Cardinals by a nose, thanks to the combination of a superb heart of the order, significant contributors at seven of the eight everyday spots, and top prospect Oscar Taveras on the way. The Brewers will do without Corey Hart for the early part of the year, costing them a serious power threat from a lineup that's built on power. And while the Reds are improved, it's hard to believe that they've improved so much as to narrow what was a large gap. All three teams will score some runs, that much is for sure.
Our selection: Cardinals
Our selection: Cardinals
This was the one area where there was real consensus -- unanimity, in fact. When you're able to move a talent like Aroldis Chapman to the bullpen, it's a pretty good indication. The Reds have the two keys to a quality rotation: front-line quality and depth. Johnny Cueto has the second-best ERA of any NL starter over the past two seasons, and he's backed by four legitimate big leaguers in Bronson Arroyo, Mat Latos, Homer Bailey and Mike Leake. Latos and Bailey both have upside to be more than quality mid-rotation starters, to boot. If everything goes right, the Cardinals have a group that could match Cincinnati's, but St. Louis has many more questions in its starting five. Jaime Garcia in particular could be excellent, but must prove he's healthy. Milwaukee could have a sneaky-good rotation headed by Yovani Gallardo and Lohse, followed by some very talented youngsters, but with young talent comes unpredictability. The Pirates have reason for optimism, and the Cubs are improved, but the Reds and Cards have the two best rotations in the division.
Our selection: Reds
Our selection: Reds
The Reds had the NL's best bullpen ERA last year, and they bring pretty much the entire group back -- headed by the amazing Chapman, he of the 100-mph heat and wicked slider. Jonathan Broxton returns for a full year in a setup role, and pitchers like Sam LeCure, Jose Arredondo and Alfredo Simon provide depth. This is an excellent group, and it should be helped by a rotation that ought to eat up lots of innings. The Cardinals were a close runner-up in our poll, thanks to their strong end-game sequence of Edward Mujica in the seventh, Mitchell Boggs in the eighth, and Jason Motte in the ninth -- plus emerging youngster Trevor Rosenthal. The Pirates, Brewers and Cubs each got a little consideration, but as with the rotations, this is basically a two-team race.
Our selection: Reds
Our selection: Reds
The Reds may be a little weaker defensively than they were a year ago, but they still outpace the division, according to our panel. Gold Glovers at two infield positions is a very good start, with Brandon Phillips and Votto making up an airtight right side of the infield. Zack Cozart is a quality defender at short, and there's quality at the outfield corners. Drew Stubbs will be missed in center, but this is still a solid defensive team. The Pirates are strong up the middle with Russell Martin, Clint Barmes and Andrew McCutchen all plus defenders, and the Cards will likewise be strong at catcher, shortstop and center field. This is not a division laden with top-flight defensive teams, but they're nearly all pretty solid, and Cincinnati is at the top of the heap. Defense was the only category where all five teams were named on at least one ballot.
Our selection: Reds
Our selection: Reds
The Reds are deep and potent, one year after cruising to a division title and coming up just short of an NL Championship Series appearance. They pitch. They hit. They play defense. They addressed their primary weakness on offense. And they have the depth to withstand some injuries.
Last year's runner-up is in the best position to dethrone the champs. The Cardinals once again sport an extremely dangerous lineup and should have a deep bullpen. The uncertainty is in their rotation, which could be very good but has quite a few questions.
The Pirates and Brewers both had tastes of contention last year, and each returns a similar formula to what they used a season ago. The Bucs will try to ride their starting pitching and just enough offense to their first winning season since 1992. They're hoping that the addition of Martin, plus the maturing of some young hitters, will be enough to put them in the picture at year's end.
The Brewers bring a high-powered offense that will likely once again live by the home run, though they'll have to do without Hart for a while. Their rotation has promise, and added some quality and stability with Lohse, which should take pressure off some of the youngsters. Meanwhile they'll hope that a revamped bullpen is good enough after it struggled last year.
The Cubs should be better. The question is how much better. They upgraded their rotation, but health questions surround Matt Garza and Scott Baker, leaving it unclear just who will be in their starting five. The long-term prognosis here is good; the 2013 prospects are a bit fuzzy.

Hiroki Kuroda (6-11, 3.13) vs. John Lannan (6-6, 3.62).
This is the story of a skinny young man who was chaysing fame and fortune when he was first drafted by the Orioles in 1997. He played two years in Toronto, and then was trayded to the Dodgers, where he showed some promise before getting hit on the wrist by an Ay J Burnett pitch, causing an injury that playgued him all season.
And so this young man moved on to the Phillies and blossomed over four years, winning a World Series and even mayking it to the All Star Gayme. So he picked up some swagger, along with a lot of faycial hair on a once-nayked chin, and parlayed his success into a crayzy seven-year, $126M deal with the woeful Nationals. And in his first year in Washington, this player is now batting .218, or 47 points below his career average. And the Nationals are now 13.5 games out of the divisional race...just like the Dodgers.
We Sons want to tayke a moment to say, welcome back to Chavez Ravine, Jayson!

The potential Democratic Party contest for a U.S. Senate seat between 89-year-old Sen. Frank Lautenberg and 43-year-old Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker had been shaping up to be a generational battle royale.
Alas, it won't happen now that Lautenberg has announced that he won't run for re-election in New Jersey's 2014 Senate race. In a statement, the octogenarian senator said:
"I will be traveling to my hometown of Paterson tomorrow to announce that I will not seek re-election in 2014. This is not the end of anything, but rather the beginning of a two-year mission to pass new gun safety laws, protect children from toxic chemicals, and create more opportunities for working families in New Jersey. While I may not be seeking re-election, there is plenty of work to do before the end of this term and I'm going to keep fighting as hard as ever for the people of New Jersey in the U.S. Senate."
Lautenberg surprised many a Congress watcher with his Thursday announcement. Before then, he seemed to show every indication that he would run again.
It was an intention that seemed only to draw new energy by the day from the way the ambitious Booker entered the race.
In a move that appeared to many observers to be aimed at pushing Lautenberg to decide to retire, Booker pre-emptively announced last year that he was exploring a 2014 Senate run before Lautenberg made his re-election plans known.
Booker's was an act that clearly frosted Lautenberg, who grew entertainingly snippy on Capitol Hill whenever reporters asked him about the two-term Newark mayor, a political star who has benefited from his energetic leadership of a troubled city and a flair for self-promotion and tweeting.
Lautenberg at one point told reporters that Booker might need a "spanking" for not abiding by political protocol by failing to give him the chance to announce whether or not he would run for re-election.
Lautenberg also recently told reporters who stopped him in a U.S. Capitol corridor that Booker was "exceptionally aggressive." He didn't mean it as a compliment.
"He can do anything he wants. I just want him to take care of Newark where I have an office," Lautenberg said. Then, sounding like a fan at a sporting event, the senator chanted: "Defense, defense," suggesting he didn't plan on making things easy for Booker.
With his decision, the veteran senator who has had two separate stints in the Senate, from 1982 to 2001 and from 2003 to the present, was acknowledging political reality.
A Monmouth University poll released on Valentine's Day was the latest with bad news for the senator. The poll found 40 percent of Democratic primary voters supporting Booker for Senate, while just 25 percent backed Lautenberg.
And in a finding that contained both good news and bad news for Lautenberg, the poll found only 34 percent of New Jersey voters saying that his advanced age was a concern. But the pollsters speculated that was likely because many voters didn't know his age. Only 39 percent estimated his age to be 80 or older.
The percentage of voters aware of his age was likely to be far higher by the time the primary election date rolled around, if not through Booker himself then his allies. During Lautenberg's 2008 re-election campaign, his age was made into an issue by his Republican opponent.
Lautenberg's decision to retire obviously clears the field of the person who was likely to give Booker his greatest challenge for the Democratic nomination.
The White House issued the following statement from President Obama:
"Frank is a steadfast champion of the people of New Jersey. Throughout his time in the Senate, Frank has fought tirelessly for workers, veterans, members of our military and their families, and immigrants, and he continues to make extraordinary contributions to our nation's safety, and the health and welfare of our citizens. His service in World War II is a testament to his character and deep commitment to public service. I look forward to working with Frank on critical issues before us these next two years, and Michelle and I wish him and Bonnie all the best."
Lautenberg, one of the richest people in the Senate, is the son of Eastern European immigrants (his father was a textile worker.) The senator made his fortune in business as a founder of Automatic Data Processing or ADP, the nation's largest payroll processing firm.

10 Awesome TV Remote Controls for Father's Day
Is there any home accessory more fought-over than the remote control? TV-loving dads have long had to establish that they are masters of their domain by commandeering the clicker from the kids.
But why should fathers settle for a remote that just changes the channels when they can have one that also opens a bottle of beer? Or tells time? Or is powered by their own wind?
This Father's Day, swap the traditional family remote for one of these babies that will have him channel surfing in style:
Bottle-Opening Remote
When dad's deep in a television groove, there's no bigger buzzkill than having to get up from the couch to open another cold one. With this beer bottle-opening remote control, he can crash on the couch with a six-pack and stay put for an entire "M*A*S*H" marathon. [Clicker]
Magic Wand Universal Remote
Magic may not be real, but convenience is. With this wand remote, your would-be wizard father can change the channel with a flick of the wrist. [The Wand Company]
Solid Gold Remote
Why is Dad always the one giving the gold? He likes shiny things, too, like this solid gold remote control. And the good news is, it'll only run you $55K. [Lantic Systems]
Battery-Less Remote
Battery-powered remotes are for wimps. Back in Dad's day, he used to walk five miles in the snow just to change the channel, which is why he'll love this remote control that's powered on motion alone. [Renesas]
Pillow Remote Control
Nobody likes plopping down on the couch only to get stabbed in the side by a hidden remote. With this pillow remote, he can kiss those bruises goodbye. [Brookstone]
Remote Control Wristwatch
A wristwatch that doubles as a universal remote? If it only had a Swiss Army knife, you might never have to get dad another gift. [Hammacher]
Fart-Operated Remote
Rising gas costs got your father down? With this methane-powered channel changer, he can make his own fuel for beans. [Instructables]
Dance Dance Remote
Mom wants to go out dancing, but all he wants to do is sit on the couch and have a quiet night in. With this home-hacked DDR mat-powered remote, everyone's happy. [Michbex]
Sharp Shootin' Remote Control
This revolver-inspired remote is perfect for watching that John Wayne movie, or thwarting snack thieves. [Firebox]
Ceramic Remote
Many a dad has smashed their remote into smithereens during a frustrating extra inning. With designer Yuta Watanabe's ultra-fragile ceramic remote, they'll think twice about absentmindedly hurling it across the living room again. [Yuta Watanabe]

Getting rid of excess fat is never easy. Sure, if you are looking to lose a pound or two, it may be a bit easier, but for most of us, it is not about losing a pound or two. For most in Quebec, it is about losing at least 10 pounds or so. And that can be a difficult thing to do. Sometimes you need a bit of help and one of the best things to lose fat in such a situation is definitely HCG Triumph Diet Drops.
Triumph HCG Drops are not just a product. It is an entire weight-loss program that has been years in the making and that is utilizing not only some of the most advanced weight-loss solutions and ingredients in the world of natural weight-loss process, but also the most advanced solutions in nutrition and proper maintenance of weight-loss. Together, it makes for a Quebec weight-loss program that is incredibly effective and that is also very quick. With the Triumph HCG Drops, you will be losing fat more quickly and efficiently than with anything else.
The secret behind HCG Triumph is the HCG part. HCG is a hormone that tells your body that it needs to burn down the stored fat in order to make up for the diminished intake of calories. What this means is that by adhering to the HCG Triumph weight-loss program, you will also adhere to a diet that may seem like a strict one to some people in Saint-Sauveur but which is actually quite an easy one to stick to.
Recent advances have made it possible to create a weight-loss Formula that accomplishes two things:
∗∗It's the best extract possible -- 100% pure for the best results∗∗
∗∗It's more affordable than ever for the average dieter to use the drops for weight-loss∗∗
Thanks to the Hcg Triumph formula, slimming down in a safe, natural way is now affordable for anyone in Saint-Sauveur.
Triumph HCG drops combine a revolutionary weight-loss protocol with advanced science. This allows your body to naturally burn an incredible amount of stored fat and lose fat fast. By working with your body instead of against it, you can lose fat safely and quickly. Plus, you'll keep the fat off once you lose it.
Our 100% pure Triumph formula helps your body burn a lot of stored fat for energy, causing the fat to melt away quickly.
In addition to burning stored fat for energy, your body will also stop storing additional fat if the Triumph weight-loss plan is followed.
Intense cravings are the number 1 reason most Saint-Sauveur dieters fail. HCG Triumph has special appetite suppressants that help you stay on your diet and succeed in your weight-loss.
What about after your weight-loss diet? HCG Triumph helps you reset your food cravings so you want something healthy when you're hungry instead of junk food. This helps you keep off the fat you lost.

Peppermint Ice Cream and Ice Cream Sandwiches
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Every year, around this time, I make peppermint ice cream to use in a refrigerator cake I serve during the Christmas holidays. I also use it to make ice cream sandwiches that I keep on hand for unexpected guests. This is a really lovely ice cream and buying chocolate wafer cookies makes the ice cream sandwiches really easy to put together. Once the ice cream has firmed enough, I assemble the sandwiches and freeze them on cookie sheets, in a single layer, for a couple of hours. I then transfer them to a freezer bag for longer term storage. I remove them from the freezer about 15 minutes before I plan to serve them. Children love to help make these. They also do a pretty good job of making them disappear. This is the recipe I use for the peppermint ice cream. Crush the peppermint candy to a powder if you prefer an ice cream that is perfectly smooth. If you like bits of peppermint in your ice cream coarsely chop the candy, but make sure the pieces are small enough not to harm your ice cream maker.You might also want to add a drop or two of red food coloring for better color.
Peppermint Ice Cream Recipe...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
2 eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
2/3 cup crushed hard peppermint candies
1) Beat eggs and sugar together in a small bowl.
2) Place milk in a saucepan and heat until it starts to bubble. Whisk hot milk into egg mixture. Pour mixture back into saucepan, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats a spoon. Chill for several hours.
3) Stir in cream, vanilla and peppermint extract. Pour into an ice cream maker. Mix according to manufacturer's instructions, adding crushed peppermint for last 5 minutes of churning. Transfer to a freezer container. Yield: 1-1/2 quarts.

Hi Mary..
Happy Saturday sweetie. I have to tell you I am going to try this peppermint recipe. We have two birthdays coming up in December and who doesn't like ice cream sandwiches.

Thanks for sharing as always sweetie. I love to come and visit.

Another delicious recipe with the icecream to day. That looks wonderful. I just also read your recipe for the brussels sprouts. I just cleaned my brussels sprouts for today's dinner. Here in HOlland we just boil them for about 15 to 20 minutes, when they ate about soft, get them out of the water, get a little bit of butter over it and grate nutmeg over it. We serve them with boiled potatoes and beef and sauce.This is a rteal Dutch recipe. Brussels sprouts need to be very tiny like half an inch to be really tasty.It is very easy to make.We eat it at least once each week
Your recipe with the bacon sounds real good. I am going to try that one soon. - November 28, 2009 at 11:16 AM

Ciao Mary, I seem to understand that the ice-cream is pink because of pink Saturday, but I still cannot make the connection between the colour and peppermint...are peppermint flavoured things pink where you live?

Alessandra, you asked about pink and its association with mint. Candy canes are pink as is peppermint candy sold here at this time of year. Pink peppermint ice cream is a very seasonal recipe in the US. I have another recipe on my blog for ice cream made from fresh mint. That might be the recipe you would prefer to use.
