Unfortunately, I suck at cooking. I have cooking anxiety. I'm always afraid that I'm going to under cook the meat, so I end up drying it out. I have no vision for it. I must have a recipe and I MUST follow it exactly. Lucky for me, I have a husband who, if allowed, would spend all day, every day in the kitchen making up new dishes. In other words, I never have to make a meal. Unless, like this week, he is gone on a business trip and then I eat nothing but cereal and sandwiches.
But I can bake. I can bake like the wind. For some reason, the fear that plagues me with dinner planning disappears when it comes to desserts. I am not an elaborate baker. I prefer to use a mix as a base for brownies and cakes. My cookies are from simple recipes. But it's always good. Probably because I've always had a powerful sweet tooth. One of my most vivid memories from my early years is visiting my Grandma and figuring out that if I called anything sweet my "medicine" she would think it was adorable and give it to me. And that's how my love affair with COOL WHIP Whipped Topping started. Every visit to my Grandma resulted in 4-5 spoonfuls of my medicine.
*sigh* I still love that stuff. I figured out early on when raising my kiddos that a little COOL WHIP on top of their fruit at meals made the whining go away and quick. OMG, the whining. I wasn't prepared for it. They're all "I hate strawberriesssssssss!" and I'm all "You told me you loved them last week" and they're all "They make me barfffffff!" and I'm all "Just eat them" and they're all *choke gag* and I'm all "Oh for Pete's sake, here" and then the COOL WHIP comes out and everyone is happy and smiling and suddenly we're in a Disney movie. And then they finish their strawberries and I tell them to take out the trash and then we're in that horror movie with the little kid who crawls out of the well and then I don't sleep for a week.
My kiddos are all grown up now (if you call being 20 years old in college and still not remembering to brush your teeth every day) but that's totally fine with me because it means when I make stuff like this I get to eat all of it myself.
This? Is a whoopie pie.
And the angels sang in the heavens.
So I have a friend who mentioned I should try making my own whoopie pies out of cake mix. So I started googling and found so many recipes that looked amazing. But I'm not really a heavy frosting fan, so I thought maybe exchanging the more traditional filling with COOL WHIP would be fun to try. These are the only ingredients I used.
A devil's food cake mix, 2 eggs and two tubs of COOL WHIP. Instead of the oil called out on the mix box, I used a tub of COOL WHIP instead. Sounds weird? I thought so too.
You guys.
They are AH-MAZE-ING. They are light and sweet and oh did I forget to mention that I mixed a tiny bit of the dry cake mix with another tub of COOL WHIP and spread it in between two of the pies and then I passed out from how good they taste?
This took me all of 45 minutes total, not counting the 30 minutes I let the dough chill in the refrigerator before I baked the pies. 45 minutes. Everyone has 45 minutes in their day to make something this super yum and super easy (I'm looking at you, lady in my office who brags about how she bakes all weekend for her kid's girl scout troop meetings while staring at me and my Twinkie all judge-y faced).
I figure this post is like my community service to the internet for all the swearing and inappropriate talk I do here. Hey everyone, make this and you'll experience one minute of pure bliss followed by 10 minutes of pure amazement over how kind and generous Miss Yvonne was to share her COOL WHIP whoopie pie recipe with you. You're welcome.
Now I'm off for my last dose of medicine.

At 18, Ketorah Brewster is an experienced hand at community organizing.
Later this week, the Boston Latin senior will join hundreds of her peers in a march on the State House in support of a cause close to their hearts: summer jobs.
"Having a job is like having a voice," said Brewster, a member of the Youth Jobs Coalition, a Dorchester-based organization. "Taking away a job from someone who wants to work hard is like taking away their voice and their ability to advocate for themselves."
The picture most people have of kids and jobs is of working for pocket change. But that's not necessarily the case. Brewster is an extreme example — her mother died in 2009, and she supports herself partly through her after-school work with the coalition.
"I'm on my own," she said.
The coalition, and its current push for more jobs, is largely the brainchild of Lew Finfer, the longtime Dorchester community organizer. Finfer said the issue of jobs is best appreciated by listening to young people themselves discuss it. It quickly becomes clear that jobs are far more than just a way to buy sneakers or clothes.
"The teens speak movingly about using the jobs to help support their families," Finfer said. "It's really an economic necessity."
The march Thursday will start at Old South Church in Copley Square and end on Beacon Hill. But along the way, the kids plan to visit at least a couple of prominent firms that have thus far declined to take part in summer jobs programs. Part of the reason for the current campaign is to preserve the $10 million a year state government now invests in summer jobs programs.
The push for summer jobs is not new. It was a longstanding priority of former mayor Thomas M. Menino, who considered it a useful public safety strategy. Last summer about 9,000 Boston youth found jobs through a patchwork of private employers, government agencies, and nonprofits. The Walsh administration wants to at least equal that number, while expanding the age limit of those who are eligible.
Felix Arroyo, the city's head of health and human services, is slated to speak at the rally and is urging major companies that have shied away from hiring kids to participate in the program.
"I'm going to let the young people know that they do indeed matter and that they deserve these opportunities," Arroyo said. "And I want to send a clear message to our private sector partners that the Walsh administration is ready and willing to work with them."
The call for more summer employment seems especially timely as the city experiences a spike in violence. The value of investing in young people working to build productive lives is obvious to those who work around them.
Finfer said about only a quarter of the teens who seek jobs find them. That's partly because many businesses believe they don't have useful skills. That's a notion Finfer rejects.
"They may be camp counselors, they can do administrative work in a nonprofit," he said. "They can do data entry work, they may work on a cleanup crew in public sector jobs. Some of them work in labs. It's really a range of things. The skill level of some of them would surprise people."
If nothing else, the campaign is already teaching teenagers some very useful organizing skills as they advocate for themselves. They deserve the attention of those in power.
As for Brewster, who graduates from high school this spring, she believes she may have found her voice working on projects like this one.
"Hopefully, I'm going to college," she said of her future. "I want to study sociology or anthropology, learning about movements and continuing my social justice work."Adrian Walker is a Globe columnist. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @Adrian_Walker.

There's enough of this going around that it seems to be the new get-rich-quick scheme: Find someone rich who is is having an affair and then demand money from them.
Of course, like most get-rich-quick schemes, it doesn't appear to be working that well.
Bill Carter and Brian Stelter, NYT: Mr. Letterman said on "The Late Show," on CBS, that he had been approached by a person who wanted $2 million not to go public with information that Mr. Letterman had been in sexual relationships with women who work on his show...
Neither Mr. Letterman nor the district attorney's office revealed the person's name. In a statement late Thursday night, CBS said the suspect was an employee of the CBS news program "48 Hours" and was arrested on charges of attempted grand larceny. The network said that the employee had been suspended.
Letterman, meanwhile, played this perfectly, revealing the whole thing on a segment of his show:

Most of these materials can be diverted from disposal at a landfill. With the right knowledge and tools, any business can operate more sustainably.
Many businesses are creating Sustainability teams to find ways for their business to be a leader in the community. We can provide resources to help to make your business Green in many ways. To become a certified Green Business click here for further information.
Mandatory Commercial Recycling Effective July 1, 2012
State law AB341 took effect on July 1, 2012. If your business is generating 4 cubic yards or more per week or your Apartment building has more than 5 units then you must have recycling service in order to be in compliance with the law. RecycleMore can help you comply with this new law. We have staff that can conduct an analysis of your waste stream and provide suggestions on how to reduce the amount thrown away. We can provide training to employees or tenants and get them motivated to recycle more and produce less.
(Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery) has also recently passed a State law that will require the State to get to 75% waste diversion by the year 2020 http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/75Percent/. While West Contra Costa County is doing well towards this goal, there is always room for improvement. If your business would like to improve its waste diversion activities, contact RecycleMore at 510-215-3125.

Commercial FAQs
What is AB341?
This new State law went into effect on July 1, 2012 and makes it mandatory for all businesses and apartment buildings with 5 or more units that generate more than 4 cubic yards of waste per week to have recycling service. RecycleMore has created informative flyers and posters for businesses to place at their offices.
Does AB341 apply to my business?
If your business generates 4 cubic yards or more a week of garbage or if your apartment complex has more than 5 units, then yes, AB341 applies to your business.
How do I find out how much is being generated at my business?
Review your garbage bill from Republic Services or East Bay Sanitary (El Cerrito). It will show what size bin you have and how often it is picked up each week. Or call Republic Services customer service at 510-262-7100.
Who do I call for help with starting a Recycling program?
You have different choices. RecycleMore can help you get started. We have staff and resources to help you create a recycling program. There are also staff at City level that can help you with other environmental issues such as water and energy use.
What do we do with Electronic Waste or other outdated equipment?
The Permanent HHW facility allows residents and small businesses in West Contra Costa County to drop off e-waste. It is located at 101 Pittsburg Avenue, Richmond. Also the El Cerrito Recycling and Environmental Resource Center takes e-waste (click link: http://www.el-cerrito.org/index.aspx?NID=336) Outdated equipment is a bit harder to find places that recycle it. Contact the manufacturer first to see if they will take it back or have local resources. Also visit www.Earth911 to see if there are local companies that will take it.
I see people going through by bin, who should I call?
Although this is illegal and dangerous, most police and code enforcement departments do not have the resources to stop this practice. You can contact Republic services to see if they can provide you with a lock. Put up a sign that says no scavenging or loitering should also help.
Where can I donate old office furniture?
Craigslist & FreeCycle.org websites are good places to start. Also Urban Ore in Berkeley will accept most types. Call first.
We get a lot of Styrofoam from vendors. Where can this be recycled?
First ask your supplier to not use Styrofoam packaging. The El Cerrito Recycling and Environmental Resource Center at 7501 Schmidt Lane accepts the material. El Cerrito accepts ONLY White block polystyrene foam - No food containers, peanuts, other types of foam, or wrapping material (UPS will take peanuts).
Where can I purchase recycled content office supplies? Many office supply stores now have green catalogs just ask for it. Staples, Office Max, Office Depot and Radstons (local Green Business) all can be accessed online.
If your business doesn't already incorporate Environmental Purchasing Program (EPP) principals in its operation, then visit this website for more information http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/EPP/
Can my business recycle food scraps?
This depends on where your business is located.
El Cerrito businesses can now recycle food scraps. Contact the El Cerrito Environmental and Resource Recycling Center at 510-215-4350 to get started. For Republic Services customers, your business may request a green waste cart. The green waste cart is 64 gallons and a business such as florist, coffee shop or produce market can put in dead flowers, plants and uncooked vegetables. For larger businesses that generate a lot of green waste, contact Republic Services at 510-262-7100 for a roll-off box. Businesses that want to start an on-site compost program, can call Recyclemore or visit the Compost section on this website.

We've been roasting coffee for 3 decades and every day we ponder how we can make our coffee more perfect.
Our roasting profiles are unique. We've honed them to understand changes of seconds at various times in the roast to highlight the inherent bright clean lemon acidity or stone sweet fruitiness or velvety chocolate that individual varieties hold.
As committed as we are to the taste profiles, we are equally committed to our responsibility in producing these coffees. In addition to working with farmers in Direct Trading and Organic, Rainforest Alliance and Shade Grown certifications, we invested heavily in our Green Roasting Facility and the world's first Eco-Roaster.
Our Green Roasting Facility was built around our Roaster. A separate cool room holds our green beans in storage while our roasting area is brightly lit with natural sunlight. Airy high ceilings provide a gallery-like atmosphere – after all, as artisans we deserve a wonderful space in which to practice our craft. The natural light means we rarely have to turn on any lights. The heat from the roast provides enough warmth that we rarely, if ever, turn on our heat.
We were one of the first roasters world wide to commission this special roasters to be build. It reduces gas consumption by 80% and the emissions, rather than being thrown into the atmosphere, are burned and sent back as the source of heat for roasting. Reductions in emissions have been monitored at 80% reduction compared with conventional roasters.
Even more impressive is the roast quality. Consistent and clean, the end result is a unique taste that highlights the best qualities of the coffee.

Android Team's Munchies Lead to Genius KitKat Tie-In
Sep 4, 2013 1:28 PM PT
The Internet is abuzz with news that Google has teamed up with food giant Nestle to name the next version of Android after the latter's famous chocolate bar -- KitKat -- rather than continue its tradition of nonbranded nomenclature with the name "Key Lime Pie."
KitKat will be Android 4.4 and not Android 5 as some expected.
"We were contacted by Google in November 2012 and quickly afterwards decided to team up with them on this exciting partnership," Nestle spokesperson Nina Caren Kruchten told the E-Commerce Times.
Some Guys Have All the Luck
The team-up with Nestle is likely a happy accident, Daniel Ladik, an associate professor of marketing at Seton Hall University, told the E-Commerce Times.
"The software engineers [probably] needed a codeword for the project, and one of them was inspired by a trip to the vending machine to get a late-night snack," Ladik surmised.
He might be right on the money.
"KitKats [have been] a favorite among the Google Android team since the early days of Android," Nestle's Kruchten said.
Sweets For My (Android) Sweet
Both the Android and KitKat brands have worldwide recognition.
Android has more than 75 percent of the global smartphone OS market now, though this will fall to just over 68 percent by 2017, IDC predicted on Wednesday.
KitKat "is one of the world's top 10 fast-moving consumer goods brands in social media in terms of fan numbers and engagement," Nestle's Kruchten said. "We continue to build on its strong digital presence with interactive, creative branding campaigns such as the one with Google."
The gain is all for KitKat, Seton University's Ladik commented.
"I see little gain on the Google side of the equation," Ladik explained. "Android is a huge brand worldwide, both in market share and revenue, [and] the gain is all for KitKat. I believe that Nestle saw the benefit in this and let Google use the trademarked brand. On the jetpacks of Google, the brand will get a wind at its back that no marketing campaign could ever supply."
Android's tie-in with KitKat is a marketing move that is "distinctly different and refreshing compared to the 'We'll spend whatever it takes to be innovative' or 'Honestly, this will change your effing life' exercises that are so common in high tech," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, remarked.
There is no downside for Nestle, King surmised. "It's an old and wise company that realizes all PR is good and PR that doesn't cost you anything is even better."
Nor is there a downside for Google, which "is apparently big enough, smart enough and successful enough to feel comfortable laughing at itself," King told the E-Commerce Times.
The Magic of Marketing - or Not
It's likely that the tie-in will provide a "nice boost" to KitKat sales, Ladik suggested.
"The more the brand gets mentioned, the more it will be top of mind. The more it is top of mind, the more it will be purchased," Ladik explained.
Chocolate bars are usually an unplanned purchase, so when someone is walking into a convenience store or standing in front of a vending machine, the strongest thought or memory will be the deciding factor in influencing what will get purchased, Ladik pointed out.
"In marketing theory parlance, [the tie-in] becomes a trigger or a heuristic," Ladik said.
However, "this is the PR equivalent of empty calories -- as easily forgotten as it is consumed," Pund-IT's King opined.
"Unless Google starts giving away a free box of KitKats with every new Nexus 4 phone, I doubt many people outside the two companies' employees will remember this a month from now," King continued. "But toss [that box of KitKats] in along with late-night sales in cannabis-friendly communities like Denver and Seattle, and Google could see a sweet spike in Android adoption."

View all images from the National Fine Art Collection
Following the launch of fineart.ac.uk in June 2003, the collection has now been made available through the VADS catalogue. Fineart.ac.uk is a prototype for a national web-based collection of work by staff and students of UK Higher Education institutions who have made a significant contribution to UK fine art education through practice. The National Fine Art Education Digital Collection begins the task of assembling a comprehensive and sustainable online resource, with work from 11 important national collections held within higher education. Work is drawn from
Currently the fineart.ac.uk project contains a sample of around 200 digital images and associated curatorial information, drawn from paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings from the mid-19th century through to the present day. More than 150 artist-practitioners who studied or taught at degree (or equivalent) level in schools of art are represented. The Council of National Art Awards Trust Art Collection alone includes work by many extremely important figures in British Art such as Henry Moore, Bridget Riley and Richard Hamilton. The resource at fineart.ac.uk also incorporates a rich body of information to support research and scholarship including contextual essays, interviews, artists' biographies, animations and movies.
Two case studies were commissioned by the Fine Art project.
The first investigated the possibility of re-purposing the Fine Art cataloguing and capture protocols in order to create an electronic archive of student work. The Technical Advisory Service for Images (now JISC Digital Media) undertook the digital photography, and the Surrey Institute of Art & Design's* Fine Art Programme was used as the test bed for the study.
The second case study was undertaken by the Royal College of Art, who have photographed their student shows for the past 25 years with conventional photographic methods. Their case study, in the use of direct digital capture as an alternative, discusses all the advantages and disadvantages of this method.
Please follow this link for these and other VADS case studies.

Division leaders have reason to worry down stretch
This is an age of competitive paranoia in Major League Baseball.
Parity reigns supreme, and every club is susceptible to the onslaught of injury or the sudden vanishing act of bats brought about by all these high-velocity arms and tiny ERAs. So no lead is as safe or secure as it might seem.
This is an age of competitive paranoia in Major League Baseball.
Parity reigns supreme, and every club is susceptible to the onslaught of injury or the sudden vanishing act of bats brought about by all these high-velocity arms and tiny ERAs. So no lead is as safe or secure as it might seem.
Oh, sure, the Orioles will probably nail down the American League East, even without Manny Machado.
The Dodgers will probably win the National League West, just as the Nationals will probably win the NL East thanks to the big advantage they've built.
Even in the two Central Divisions and in the AL West -- three divisions that each feature the top two teams within 1 1/2 games of each other -- the Royals and Tigers, the Brewers and Cardinals and the Angels and A's all have better-than-average mathematical odds that a third team won't suddenly join the fray.
In fact, here are those mathematical odds, per Baseball Prospectus' playoff odds report. Entering Wednesday, the percentage chances of the underdogs ultimately coming out on top in their division were as follows: Yankees (2.7), Indians (3.7), Mariners (1.2), Braves (2.4), Pirates (4.8) and Giants (10.9).
But if you look beyond that math and into the reality of a game played by human beings, you see a few reasons why a little added paranoia within the fan bases of the front-runners is understandable.
AL East: Getting swept by the Cubs on the North Side of Chicago last weekend was not a good look for the O's, especially as it aligned perfectly with the Yankees' sweep of the South Siders. That cut the Yanks' deficit from nine to six in a hurry. Much like losing weight, those first few pounds are the easiest, and it gets more difficult as you go. Indeed, on Tuesday night, the Yankees lost, the Orioles won, and the gap widened back to seven. Still, it's hard not to notice the overall momentum of a Bronx squad that still has eight -- eight! -- games remaining against an injury-depleted O's team.
Again, math is on the Orioles' side, and Buck Showalter is already a lead dog in the AL Manager of the Year Award race for what he's done with a club that lost Matt Wieters and Machado, got next to nothing out of big free-agent acquisition Ubaldo Jimenez and saw Chris Davis severely regress at the plate. The O's are survivors with an offense that can change games with a single swing, an underrated bullpen and great defense, even with Machado on the pine.
But Yanks manager Joe Girardi and general manager Brian Cashman have worked their own form of magic, with Cashman reshaping what was an awful infield and Girardi keeping things afloat sans Masahiro Tanaka. Now, Tanaka is getting ready to throw a simulated game Thursday in Detroit, Michael Pineda is back and dealing in the high-90s and the once-sluggish Yankees offense has sprung to life.
It bears repeating: Eight head-to-head games in September. A lot can still happen.
AL Central: We don't need to say much to inspire a little paranoia in Kansas City fans. They've had a quarter-century of disappointment to make them wonder if this magical run (and it got more magical than ever Tuesday night) is all a little too good to be true. And Tigers fans groomed toward World Series expectations don't need us to rehash all that's transpired in this odd August, aka the Buck Farmer era. They just found out Tuesday that Anibal Sanchez suffered a setback in his recovery from a sore right arm.
Odds are, the division will be decided when those two clubs face each other six times in September. But we're here to remind you not to totally dismiss the Indians, who sit 5 1/2 games back of the first-place Royals and are a season-high four games over .500. A September surge such as last year (when the Tribe went 21-6) is a lot to ask of a team playing an inordinate number of youngsters (Jose Ramirez, Tyler Holt, Zach Walters, Roberto Perez, Trevor Bauer and T.J. House have all be thrust into pivotal roles in light of injuries and/or Trade Deadline activity) and playing 30 games in a 30-day stretch.
Still, the recent performance of the Indians' rotation does make you wonder. It's not just Corey Kluber, who has leapt into the AL Cy Young Award conversation. It's also the recent work of Bauer and Danny Salazar and Carlos Carrasco, three fireballers who have combined to post a 2.27 ERA since Carrasco rejoined the rotation on Aug. 10. The Indians have won 10 of 14 to prove they're not out of it yet.
AL West: The Angels were dealt a severe punch to the gut when Garrett Richards fell to the Fenway dirt with his blown-out knee, and the absence of Richards and Tyler Skaggs is a lot to overcome on the fly (though C.J. Wilson's recent efforts have been awfully encouraging). The A's aren't without scars of their own, as Sean Doolittle's absence with an intercostal strain hampers the bullpen, Josh Donaldson plays with a bum knee, and the offense lacks some of the pop it had before Yoenis Cespedes was traded to Boston.
This presents an opportunity for the Mariners. They sit six games back, but their bats have been among the hottest in baseball this month (4.8 runs per game) after running cold for the better part of four months. Those bats are supporting a pitching staff putting up historically great numbers (the .225 average against M's pitchers is tied for the lowest in the DH era) and getting better with time (Mariners' starters have the best ERA in baseball in the second half). Seattle has a lot of ground to make up, but the M's have held their own against the Angels (7-5) and A's (7-6) thus far, and they've still got six against Oakland and seven against the Halos in September.
That's called a pulse, and I'm certain the Angels and M's have noticed it beating.
NL East: This one's pretty simple. The Nationals have looked unstoppable of late. All the walk-off wins, all the timely offense. They've got, for my money, the best rotation in the NL and one of the best bullpens. It's pretty hard to imagine their 7 1/2-game edge on the Braves crumbling over the next four-plus weeks.
But the one thing the Nats have yet to do is prove they can consistently beat the Braves head-on. They are 4-9 against them this season and 10-22 against them over the past two seasons. And Atlanta has been playing better ball since Jason Heyward went back to the top of the lineup and Mike Minor righted himself.
These two clubs will meet again Sept. 8-10 and 15-17. It would probably take a sweep of both of those series for the Braves to keep even the slimmest of division title hopes alive. But until the Nationals take care of business in those games, let's not hand them the crown just yet, OK?
NL Central: Pittsburgh took a big step back earlier this month, and Andrew McCutchen's daily status after his quick return from a rib fracture will continue to be monitored.
But there's enough resilience to this Pirates team, which is now five games back of the Brewers, that we still feel comfortable calling this a three-team race. Much of that is tied to McCutchen. He had hit three homers in his first six games since coming off the DL but admitted he was playing through some discomfort. And on Tuesday, McCutchen had to leave a win over the Cardinals not long after aggravating the injury on a spectacular catch in center field. It's a lot to ask of McCutchen to play at an MVP-caliber level in light of the injury issue, and it's also a lot to ask of Gerrit Cole to be basically in midseason form after two trips to the disabled list this summer (though he's looked to be in just such form so far).
The Buccos, though, took two of three in Milwaukee last weekend -- a pretty clear indication that the Brew Crew and Cards (who will face each other seven times in September) have more than just each other to worry about. The Pirates have a pretty daunting September sked in which they'll play just nine games at PNC Park, but they'll also get a run of 13 straight against sub-.500 teams (the Cubs, Phillies and Red Sox) from Sept. 5-18, so they're definitely worth keeping an eye on.
NL West: The Giants are not exactly setting the world aflame, as they are nine games under .500 since the end of May. And the Tim Lincecum of old did not suddenly return to rescue the rotation in the wake of Matt Cain's trip to the disabled list, as hoped.
But that doesn't mean the Dodgers can sleep easy. On the contrary, L.A. has used the disabled list seven times this month alone, and that doesn't include the concern over the elbow soreness that Zack Greinke is trying to grind his way through. The rotation is the backbone of the Dodgers' success, because the lineup has been susceptible to some fits and starts, and the bullpen has let them down far more often than its exorbitant price tag ought to allow. Right now, that rotation includes Dan Haren, Kevin Correia and Roberto Hernandez as the Dodgers try to navigate their way through turbulence.
They certainly hope to have that rotation at full bore when they face the Giants six more times in September.
If not, well, paranoia will surely set in.

It is time for the Mets and Mike Pelfrey to stop fooling around.
At one time the Mets were 11 games over .500 and a game behind Atlanta. They go into Arizona tonight just six games over and five games behind.
Their slide and coincided with Pelfrey's five-start skid in which he went 1-3.
Tonight they have the Diamondbacks, one of the worst teams in the sport.
The Diamondbacks could represent an oasis in what is a desert of a schedule for the Mets, who just lost three of four at San Francisco. From Arizona the Mets have four games at Los Angeles, then return home for a brief series against St. Louis before meeting up with Atlanta and Philadelphia.
By the time that stretch is completed we should know just how much of a contender the Mets are really.

Reese's Eggs
The standard of Easter themed "regular" candies has been the Reese's egg for quite a while in my mind. It's not really that different from a Reese's Peanut Butter cup, yet it is.
The Reese's egg has naked sides. Instead of sitting all snuggled in a cup with fluted sides to keep it protected, the Reese's egg sits there on a little flimsy tray. And when you pull it out of its wrapper, you can see the whole thing, with no little bits and flecks lost during the unwrapping.
One of the things that's different about the Egg is that it's slightly skewed in the proportion of chocolate to peanut butter that we're used to in the regular cup. Just look at how much of that is peanut butter. Reese's peanut butter is interesting too. It's slightly cool on the tongue and a little dry. It crumbles in the mouth and dissolves as well as melts. It has a good hit of salt, which makes the milk chocolate coating seem all the sweeter and smoother.
I'll admit that there are some people who prefer a smoother peanut butter in their cups, but I like the crumbly texture that includes the bitty bits of nuts in it.
The Reese's Eggs are nothing like the Hershey's Eggs, except that they're egg-shaped. These are little foil wrapped chocolate eggs filled with the Reese's peanut butter found in the Peanut Butter cups. Honestly, I was worried that I'd end up with the stuff that's inside Reese's Pieces.
I'm not sure how they make these, but it appears that they create a half-shell of an egg and fill it with the peanut butter and then join it with another half-shell. There's a bit of a void in the center of most of the ones I ate (and I ate quite a few just to see).
The proportions on this variety of Reese's egg are probably one to one on the chocolate and peanut butter. The shell is very thick and with the void there's not that much peanut butter in there. The combination in the mouth is nice, again, the salty hit and crumbly texture of the peanut butter blends well with the sweet and creamy milk chocolate. The chocolate shell feels just slightly oily to the touch, I'm not sure if it's because some of the eggs seeped a bit of their peanut oil or they make them that way so they'll come out of their molds ... or maybe it's because I'm used to eating things sealed with carnauba wax.
I like both versions. Aesthetically I think I prefer the little foil wrapped ones, they're easier to share and of course save some for later. I haven't tried freezing them (I like my Reese's Miniatures frozen) but I imagine they'll do very well. These are definitely on my list of items to pick up on sale after the holiday. I think what's interesting is that these plus the original Peanut Butter cup and the miniatures demonstrate what a difference proportion makes, even when you have, basically, two ingredients.
UPDATE 4/7/2009: Hershey's has changed the formula on this classic egg. Not only that, there are several versions lurking in stores. There are packages like that reviewed above that say Milk Chocolate Reese's Egg and then there are others that just say Reese's Egg that may or may not have a real chocolate shell.
The new ingredients indicated that they're really not chocolate (I know, the photo looks like all the other photos, but trust me, this is what the reverse says):
Peanuts, sugar, dextrose, vegetable oil (cocoa butter, palm, shea, sunflower and/or safflower oil), chocolate, nonfat milk, contains 2% or less of milk fat, lactose, salt, whey, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, corn syrup, soy lecithin, cornstarch, glycerin, TBHQ & PGPR, vanillin.
They look a little flatter than the milk chocolate eggs (labeled or not). As for the taste, well, this one seemed really salty to me, but maybe that's what happens when I have peanut butter eggs for breakfast. (Hey, eggs are a breakfast food!)
The mockolate coating wasn't bad, it wasn't any worse looking than the current eggs. It has a similar melt and cool feeling on the tongue, it's sweet but I didn't taste any milky component to it.
I still don't know what's going on. I don't know why they've have both on the market at the same time, why they'd make two versions and ruin something that was perfectly good and perfect. As for the ruining part, well, they're not that bad but I'm not fond of eating palm oil when I could be eating cocoa butter. Read more about it here.

Orecchiette…my absolute favorite pasta shape. Meaning little ears in Italian (ear is orecchio), they catch sauce and filling like a dream. The slightly domed shape traps the sauce and bits, while the uneven texture makes it easy for sauce to cling to its surface. They are thinner in the middle, and thicker towards the rim, giving it an interesting feel when you chew. They even have this way of looking rustic and homemade, even if you've just bought it at the store. For me, orecchiette is perfection in a pasta shape.
I keep a bunch of different pastas in our pantry. You never know what noodle will suit the sauce of the moment, or even what "pasta-shape-mood" you'll be in (yes, there is such a thing…I swear it!). But no matter how big, or small, the stash is, there is always a pack of orecchiette waiting.
And when I made a small batch of pesto, I knew it was the perfect time for it to come out and play.
Since C is not exactly a pesto-loving creature, I've made this recipe (if you can call it a recipe, it really is far too simple) for one. If you have a partner who doesn't like pesto you will appreciate this. Besides, sometimes a girl needs some solo internet-surfing time with just a warm bowl of pesto pasta for company 🙂
Orecchiette with Pesto and Peas
- 80 grams orecchiette
- 2 tablespoons pesto (approximate, depends on your taste)
- 1/3 cup green peas
– Cook pasta as per package directions in a saucepan of generously salted water.
– When pasta is cooked, drain and place in a bowl.
– While pasta is hot, toss with pesto and peas.
– Top with freshly grated parmesan if desired (I just ate it as is).
– Serves one.
Ok, that really was too simple to be called a recipe. The dish itself is sublime in its simplicity. Pesto and peas go so well together…a symphony in green. I'll maybe try adding some ricotta next time I make this, but I really like it as is. I love having this in a deep bowl, spoon in one hand, eyes glued to the screen, catching up on what all of you have been doing. And may I just reiterate one more time, orecchiette it the perfect pasta for this dish (and for so many others).
O-re-cchie-tte! I even love the way it sounds…saying it makes me feel like a fabulous Italian woman. Try it. We could all use a little "fabulous Italian woman" in us…unless you already are a fabulous Italian woman. In which case…lucky you! Happy weekend to all fabulous women out there…Italian or no…and that means all of us! 🙂I am submitting this to Ruth's Presto Pasta Nights…I hope I made it!

Sizing Up the UI for UC
Coming from the mobile space, I have high expectations for user interfaces. The basic rule for mobile applications is that if the user requires any instructions at all, you screwed up.
Most Apple products have met this criterion since the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984, and with the introduction of the iPhone it is now de rigueur on all devices in the mobile space. Of course even the vaunted Apple can make a mess of things with dumb moves like positioning all of the commands for iCal in completely different positions when you use it on a desktop/laptop, iPad and iPhone, and different again if you access the calendar through iCloud on the Web!
The question is, will we ever be able to clear the "no instructions" bar with UC solutions?
While I have been in the technology field for over three decades, I don't fancy myself as a "technologist"--and I have very little patience. Given the complexity of the services we're looking to deliver (e.g. screen sharing, web conferencing, etc.) it's hard to imagine that users would be able to figure out how to navigate the ins and outs of all of these things without some training or at least rudimentary directions.
Fortunately, we have built up a base of well-known user interface tricks that work across applications and platforms, like "hovering" and "right-clicking" (yes, you can right-click on a Mac, just plug in a mouse with two buttons). The UC vendors seem to recognize this and have worked them into their basic UC functions.
Some vendors have tried to push the envelope on UC interfaces, but it is too early to tell if these are key product differentiators or just interesting "eye candy." The two that come to mind are Avaya and Alcatel-Lucent.
Avaya made the first bold statement with the Flare Experience, which debuted on the Avaya Desktop Video Device (aka "The Flare"). This UI has dynamic features like expanding contact cards and the "spotlight" where you can drag one or more contact cards to establish a communication or an audio or video conference. Avaya has now made that Flare interface available on Windows-based computers and iPads, and there are promises of an Android version in the future. However, the standard one-X Communicator interface used on other devices is pretty much "standard PC fare."
Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) took things in a different direction when it introduced its OpenTouch Conversation interface for iPad this year. Rather than the top-to-bottom arrangement Avaya uses, OpenTouch Conversation goes with a left-to-right alignment, with favorites positioned along the bottom of the screen and the bezel around each contact's picture providing the presence status. The user's contact card is in the upper left, and clicking it allows them to change their presence status. Above the favorites is a "stage," which functions like the Flare "spotlight."
One of the coolest features in ALU's design is how contact history is handled. Communication events (voice/video calls, chat streams, emails, etc.) are arranged left-to-right in the center of the screen on what they call the "Conversation Wall;" events expand as you scroll through them. Older events are positioned to the left and future events to the right. Users can scroll back into the contact history by swiping the screen image to the left, and see calendar-scheduled future events (e.g. conferences) by swiping to the right.
At the moment, Microsoft is running the biggest high-wire act with its transition to Windows 8. The key element of that interface is the use of the "Active Tiles" Microsoft introduced with Windows Phone; that used to be called the "Metro Interface" until a German company called Metro AG sued for infringement. However, while some PCs now feature touch screens, we'll have to see how the new-style interface fares on the majority of models that depend on the traditional keyboard-mouse interface.
A well-designed user interface can do more than just reduce training and support costs. As we have seen vividly in the mobile space, it can also increase user satisfaction (or "delight") and make people want to use more services in more ways. For "real work," most of us still go for a keyboard and a mouse, but for "content consumption," touch screen devices are just more "fun". The importance of the user interface for UC may get down to whether the core role of UC is oriented more toward real work or fun.

Beneath the rolling green acres, sparkling granite headstones and abundance of flower vases that characterize Holy Cross Cemetery and Mortuary lie the stories of buried Hollywood starlets and a rich lore that makes it one of Culver City's top historical locations—and the final resting place of more than 160,000 people.
Holy Cross Cemetery's 200 acres once belonged to the Rancho La Ballona, the plot of land that Agustin Machado claimed during his legendary dusk to dawn ride in 1819. Family lore and the city of Culver City have it that Machado was chosen of the four original settlers to claim the rights to graze their cattle on the land because of his skill as a horseman.
Juan Alvarado, the governor of California during Mexican rule, then confirmed their land grant in 1839 by the California Land Act. Much of modern Culver City is built on that 14,000-acre rancho.
In 1939—one hundred years later—the Archdiocese of Los Angeles purchased 200 acres of that land to create a new cemetery. That plot of land was chosen for its "rolling hills, peaks and valleys," said the Archdiocese's website.
The Archdiocese's decision fell just three years after the final alterations were made to separate the Archdioceses of Los Angeles and San Diego. It was a late start for Holy Cross, as many of the archdiocese's cemeteries were founded in the preceding century.
Attempts by this reporter to contact the Archdiocese and Deacon Sam Frias via email and phone were unsuccessful.
Although Culver City historian Julie Lugo Cerra's family has been in the area for more than five generations, she said that due to Holy Cross' late acquisition, her family is buried in the Woodlawn Memorial Cemetery in Santa Monica, which was established in 1897 by the City of Santa Monica.
"You don't find too many early families there," Cerra said of Holy Cross.
Despite its ill timing for the early families of Culver City, Holy Cross' opening seemed perfectly timed with the boom in the movie industry. Culver City's motto the "Heart of Screenland" was beginning its full swing; that year, both "Gone With the Wind" and "The Wizard of Oz" were filmed just a few miles from the cemetery's gates.
Three actors from "The Wizard of Oz" are buried at Holy Cross, including Jack Haley who was cast as the "Tin Man" and Ray Bolger, who played "the Scarecrow."
Other celebrities buried at Holy Cross include actress Rita Hayworth, musician Harry "Bing" Crosby and Sharon Tate and her unborn child—the victims of Charles Manson's murderous sprees.
Actor John Candy, who was featured in films such as "Uncle Buck" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," lies within the Holy Cross mausoleum, which opened on April 8,1961. Cerra said the mausoleum is made up of concrete—part of which was imported from Paris—and Los Angeles artist Isabel Piczek painted three murals on its walls. Piczek is most known for winning the International Grand Award for painting in Rome at the age of 14.
An estimated 6,500 people are entombed in the mausoleum, Cerra said.
But the most renowned—and controversial—of Holy Cross's internees is Bela Lugosi, the original Count Dracula.
Lugosi found his fame playing the title role in the 1931 film "Dracula." He died on Aug. 16, 1956 and was buried wearing a Dracula cape. Lugosi's legacy, however, continued long after his death.
In 1979, the Lugosi v. Universal Pictures lawsuit concluded that Lugosi's personality rights—or the right to control the commercial use of his name or likeness—could not extend to his heirs. Generally, the rights to publicity or image terminate with death.
The Lugosi family also decided to protect the image of Bela at Holy Cross, complaining about photographers snapping photos of his gravesite. As a result, photography is banned from Holy Cross Cemetery grounds.
Through the years, a number of land use issues have surfaced that affected the cemetery that houses many of Hollywood's deceased elite. Fox Hills, the neighborhood in which Holy Cross is located, was annexed to the city of Culver City in 1964. However, only part of Holy Cross went with it.
"That since has been rectified," said Cerra, explaining that the entire cemetery is now located in Culver City.
Today, Holy Cross remains the "largest and most beautiful cemetery in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles," according the archdiocese's website. Like the gravestones that mark the final resting places of its thousands of internees, Holy Cross Cemetery serves as a marker of the history of Culver City.

Mohegan archivist gets her due
Montville - Faith Davison's story is one for the books.
A self-described "late bloomer," the Mohegan Tribe's retired archivist was "married at 18 and had a mortgage at 19." She raised three sons and ran up a resume that included landscaping, selling live bait and pumping gas.
And then she began to hit her stride, launching a career that culminated in her being honored last month with a Guardian of Culture and Lifeways Award from the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries and Museums.
The award recognized Davison's contribution to the preservation of the Mohegans' "cultural sovereignty."
"Ms. Davison played a major role in the creation and development of the Mohegan Tribal Archives," reads the award citation. "Using her talents for research and her knowledge of history, both Tribal and colonial, Ms. Davison was instrumental in the acquisition and repatriation of Mohegan cultural properties."
At 73, Davison, who retired in 2010, continues to write and research, most recently penning the foreword to a history of Connecticut tribes and serving on an advisory committee to the Yale Indian Papers Project.
In an interview at her Webb Drive home, she recalled how it all began.
"I started taking classes at UConn and Mohegan Community College (now Three Rivers)," Davison said. "I was in my 30s, taking courses in anthropology and the sciences. I had all these credits, and my adviser said I could go to any college I wanted. So I applied to UConn, Wesleyan, Connecticut College."
Davison accepted Connecticut College's offer of a scholarship and earned her bachelor's degree at the New London school, majoring in anthropology and Spanish. Later, she obtained a master's in library sciences from the University of Rhode Island.
In 1997, the Mohegans had a library with 47 volumes and an opening for a librarian.
Enter the well-schooled Davison, a tribal member then working at the Mystic-Noank Library and at the Mohegans' year-old casino, Mohegan Sun. Before that, she'd toiled for years at Mystic Seaport, first as a docent and later cataloguing the museum's Rosenfeld Collection of maritime photographs.
In time, the feisty, outspoken Davison secured a library room on the former United Nuclear site where Mohegan Sun was built.
"I started collecting any material I could find that had anything to do with New England tribes or the genealogy of tribal people," she said. "I typed up a brief bio, did outreach, gave talks and spent a lot of time at the Mystic-Noank Library looking through bibliographies."
In a bid to pull together evidence of the tribe's history, she scoured historical society archives, town hall land records and probate and Superior Court files.
"She's a selfless researcher, a researcher's researcher, not someone who likes to take credit," said Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel, the Mohegans' tribal historian and medicine woman.
Zobel believes Davison's independent streak served the archivist well. "It's an important trait when you're doing research on Native Americans," she said. "What you find (while researching) is not always what happened. There are a lot of misconceptions, and you need to demythologize at every turn. A lot of material has to be reconsidered."
Zobel cited the case of Mohamet, the Mohegan sachem, or chief, who traveled to England in 1735 to petition King George II on behalf of the Mohegan people, whose land English settlers had taken. Mohamet died of smallpox while waiting for a commission to hear his case.
"His legacy was very sketchy until (Davison) researched it," Zobel said.
Davison recalled that the Mohegans hired a professional bidder to represent the tribe at a Christie's auction of Native American material soon after she was named archivist. It was there that the tribal library acquired a 17th century deed bearing the signature of Uncas, the legendary Mohegan sachem.
"I'm not going to tell you what I paid for that," Davison said.
Her efforts on behalf of the library took Davison abroad, where French and English archivists opened their collections. She "found what she was looking for," she said, examining an early map depicting a Mohegan trading post on the Connecticut River and "holding in my hands" papers signed by Mohamet.
On such trips, Davison regarded herself as an ambassador for the tribe - "the only Mohegan some people would ever meet."
When Davison retired at 70, the Mohegan Library and Archives held some 7,000 volumes, including works by Native American authors, both fiction and nonfiction, and books about Native American tribes, particularly those of the Northeast, and the history of the region. The material, now housed in the tribe's Community Center & Government Building at the end of Crow Hill Road, never circulates outside the tribe but is available to authors and researchers whose inquiries pass muster.
David Freeburg, Davison's successor, estimates the library now has close to 8,000 volumes. The Mohegan archives, in a separate room, contain rare books, documents and more than 450 baskets, a collection Davison made it her personal mission to enhance.
Bob Soper, chairman of the Mohegan Council of Elders, nominated Davison for the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries and Museums award.
"Of course, we're very pleased with all she has done for the Mohegan Tribe ... not only in her paid position as archivist but also as a volunteer," Soper said. "We always see her at our annual wigwam. She attends meetings and serves on committees."
In 2011 the elders council named Davison a "nonner," a status conferred on female tribal members who have established a record of outstanding service to the tribe.
"People like Faith are the reason we've gotten where we are in Native American studies," Zobel said. "She's part of an important generation of scholars. In fact, she's one of its shining lights."

Fat Beckett, a play by Gab Cody and Rita Reis, 2011 graduates of the Master of Fine Arts in Acting program, was recently named one of the top 10 productions in 2011 by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The play, directed by Sam Turich and produced by Quantum Theatre, was staged in December at the Old Schoolhouse in Lawrenceville.
According to the Quantum Theatre website, Fat Beckett is "A sly, decidedly female response to the great Samuel Beckett's men who wait. Two heroines are on a whirlwind journey of time and space travel in search of their beloved goat, Biquette."
Cody and Reis' collaboration to create Fat Beckett was first supported by Point Park and then by Bricolage in its "In the Raw" staged reading series.
Two REP productions were named runners-up in the Post-Gazette list: Lost Boy Found in Whole Foods, directed by Point Park's Sheila McKenna, and The Lonesome West, directed by Point Park's Kim Martin and featuring Philip Winters as Coleman and Point Park student Lindsey B. Mayer on set design.

Sally – Home
A tool for embedding strings
Sally is a small tool for mapping a set of strings to a set of vectors. This mapping is referred to as embedding and allows for applying techniques of machine learning and data mining for analysis of string data. Sally can be applied to several types of string data, such as text documents, DNA sequences or log files, where it can handle string data in directories, archives and text files.
Sally implements a standard technique for mapping strings to a vector space that can be referred to as generalized bag-of-words model. The strings are characterized by a set of features, where each feature is associated with one dimension of the vector space. The following types of features are supported by Sally: bytes, tokens, n-grams of bytes and n-grams of tokens.
Sally proceeds by counting the occurrences of the specified features in each string and generating a sparse vector of count values. Alternatively, binary or TF-IDF values can be computed and stored in the vectors. Sally then normalizes the vector, for example using the L1 or L2 norm, and outputs it in a specified format, such as plain text or in LibSVM or Matlab format.
There are many applications for Sally, for example, in the areas of natural language processing, bioinformatics, information retrieval and computer security. To illustrate the merit of Sally, we provide some examples including text categorization, finding genes in DNA and analysing similarities of languages. All examples come with data sets and instructions.
Authors of Sally
Sally is currently developed by Konrad Rieck
and Christian Wressnegger
at the University of
Göttingen. Previous versions of the tool have been also developed at TU Berlin and Idalab GmbH.

Clear necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 165 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
We're about to launch our company website http://www.clearseo.co.uk. Our services include SEO, PPC and website conversion.
We've called ourselves "Clear" because we find a lot of small businesses don't understand internet marketing and therefore don't use it. We want to come across as a company that understands our clients needs and can explain and implement our services for them in a "Clear" understandable, plain, uncomplicated, straightforward way.
Our site is going to be very clean, easy to navigate, easy to read, lots of white space, nice clean, large call to action boxes, large tabbed top navigation.
We're looking at small business as our target audience, from restaurants to small retailers to online stores. Their knowledge of the internet and how to navigate websites may be limited so we're going for a very clean, simple look to the site.
The logo's main usage will be on the website. We will also use it for business cards, letterhead, but the web is our main focus. Our company is called Clear, but our url is http://www.clearseo.co.uk. We'd like a logo that could easily incorporate "SEO" or "PPC" or even "Website optimisation" within it - whether than be next to the logo or beneath it.
"Clear" should be the main focus for the design though.
We want the logo to suggest professionalism, trustworthiness, modern, straightforward.
Clear also suggests something fresh, clean, the idea of water comes to mind too so we were thinking of blue as the main colour. We'd also you to come up with a complimentary palette of colours we could use for the call to action buttons, navigation options/ text with the site.
We were thinking of light greys, white's etc, but open to ideas. I guess we'd need 5 colours max to cover all options we may have. The site background will be white, and the main text to be black. We're going to have large call to action boxes with these background colours so colour is important to the overall feel of our site.

David O'Drobinak '86, one of the finest middle distance runners ever to compete at Wabash — and a brilliant student — died this week of a rare B-cell lymphoma, also known as Burkitt lymphoma. O'Drobinak, who was on the faculty at Valdosta State University in Georgia, earned his Ph.D. in biology. His special research interest was in the area of muscle physiology.
While at Wabash, O'Drobinak was an independent and biology major. He was involved with Student Senate, and he earned two letters in cross country and four in track and field. He set Wabash records in the 800 meters (1:50.7) and 1,500 meters (3:58.15) during his senior year.
"His performance at the 800-meter final at the 1986 state intercollegiate championship track meet is the single most impressive athletic performance that I have ever witnessed by a teammate in my entire athletic life," said Jim Riddle '86. "In it, he qualified to go to the National Track meet and set the Wabash record for the 800 meter run.
"At the intercollegiate meet, Dave trailed the pack of seven other runners through the 500-meter point," recalls Riddle. "He was about 25 meters behind the lead pack entering the backstretch. He started his kick 100 meters before most folks start and when he passed me at the 600-meter mark, he was five meters ahead of everyone. He made up 30 meters in 100 meters. As I sprinted diagonally across the field from the 600-meter mark to the finish line looking over my shoulder watching his progress, my worry was that he would fade because he started his kick so early. Dave not only matched everyone else's kick, he extended his lead by an additional five meters. I was astounded as he crossed the finish line."
Services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday in Valdosta.
Click here for a tribute to Dr. O'Drobinak from his colleagues at Valdosta State.
Here is the obituary published on the Maclane Funeral Services web site:
Dr. David O'Drobinak, 42, of Valdosta went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 at Shands at University Hospital in Gainesville, Fla. He was born on October 11, 1964 in Hammond, Indiana and had lived in Valdosta since 2002. Dr. O'Drobinak was a professor of physiology at Valdosta State University and attended the Azalea City Church of God.
Survivors include his wife, Mandi O'Drobinak of Valdosta, two sons, Colin Wright and Adam O'Drobinak both of Valdosta, his father and stepmother, John and Gloria O'Drobinak of Crown Point, Indiana, his mother, Rita O'Drobinak of Crown Point, Indiana, two brothers and sisters in law, John and Lori O'Drobinak, James and Liana O'Drobinak all of Tampa, Fla., several nieces and nephews, his parents in law, Steve and Tammy Minton of Ozark, Alabama.
Funeral services will be held at 2pm, Saturday, November 4, 2006 at Azalea City Church of God with Rev. Raymond Gabbard and Rev. John Harrell officiating. Burial will follow in Riverview Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends at Saturday at the church from 1pm until service time. In lieu of flowers, memorials maybe made to the family for educational funds for Adam and Colin. Condolences to the family maybe conveyed online at www.mclanefuneralservices.com. Carson McLane Funeral Home.

It's that time of year where the scents of evergreen and warm chestnuts fill the air. Ribbons and bows envelope trees and twinkling white lights invite visitors to take a step back in time and see the magical spirit that embodies Chestnut Hill during the holiday season.
The Chestnut Hill Business Association (CHBA), Chestnut Hill Business Improvement District (BID) and Chestnut Hill Garden District Fund (CHGDF) create a holiday experience for residents, visitors and shoppers. Décor is just the beginning. Planning begins when the weather is very warm to ensure that chestnuts roast, shop owners greet customers with cheer, and carolers sing. How does this all happen?
Stag & Doe Nights are perhaps the most popular event during the holidays. On Wednesday evenings, Dec. 5th, 12th and 19th, stores stay open until 9 p.m. with events beginning at 6 p.m. Each week, Santa will walk along the Avenue distributing candy canes to children and adults. Musical performances, including strolling carolers, school groups and individual performers, keep shoppers entertained. Many businesses serve wine, hot cocoa or refreshments as the sidewalks become crowded with families and friends who have made Stag & Doe an important holiday tradition.
"Stag & Doe is Chestnut Hill's most cherished holiday tradition," said Kate O'Neill. "So many people come out to shop, stroll and share holiday cheer."
New to Stag & Doe this year is Gingerbread House Making at the Bredenbeck's Café. This is located in the former Garden Gate Café building at Germantown Avenue and East Hartwell Lane. Adult-only classes will be held between 7 and 9 p.m. On Saturday and Sundays, Dec. 8, 9, 15 and 16, families can get into the action with parent/child classes will be held from 1 to 3 p.m.
As part of the citywide celebration of Dickens' 100th birthday, CHBA will host "A Dickens Christmas" on Saturday and Sunday, December 8 and 9. The Victorian Christmas celebration includes Dickens carolers, storytelling and scenes from "Great Expectations" performed at Musehouse 7924 Germantown Ave. at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8
Pop-up shops are fast becoming a Chestnut Hill tradition with this year's Bali to Bala, Curio, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Sundays@Market Artisan Marketplace, and Hillsley/Hood French offering a variety of gift options.
On Monday, Dec. 17, the annual Caroling at the Creche is held at 7 p.m. Families and friends gather around the creche at Sovereign Bank to sing holiday songs and enjoy refreshments.
"Holidays in Chestnut Hill are so magical," said Miller. "We like to say Chestnut Hill owns the spirit of Christmas."
