What would you like to know? I think you probably saw him play,soo you have some insight in his capabilities..
Young promising goalie,maybe a little small,but very quick,agressive,smart,quick legs.. Best goalie prospect we had in last 10 years,after Kristan who wasnt good in this WC!
John Gibson,born 93' in Pittsburgh - is USA no.1 goalie in WC,what do you know about him?
It was just a general information query. I know he is friends with the Koptiars...I think Gašper is one of his best friends even. He's caught my attention a little bit recently, so I was just wondering if there is a lot of excitement about him in Slovenia. Can you provide a pronunciation for me? This symbol "č" exists in Czech and seems to indicate a "ch" sound it seems. So my best guess would be: Loo-ka Grotch-nar

Five Taft College players shared or won MVP awards
It's no surprise that the No. 1 men's community college soccer team in California swept the post-season awards at the conference level.
That's exactly what happened Thursday when the All-Central Valley Conference team was announced.
Taft College players won or shared all five MVP awards and head coach Angelo Cutrona was named coach of the year.
All totaled, 13 Cougars earned all-conference honors – 10 of them first team selections.
Edgar Plascencia, a sophomore midfielder from Wasco, was named the most valuable player.
Taft High product Roberto Gonzalez was the goalkeeper of the year. He ranks fourth in the state with his 75 saves. He gave up just 12 goals in 20 games.
Defender of the year honors went to Edgar Contreras, a sophomore from Arvin; co-offensive player of the year is freshman forward Ramiro Barraza of Bakersfield High who led the team in scoring with 16 goals and 6 assists; and co-midfielder of the year is Roberto Mariscal, a sophomore from Palmdale.
Five other Cougars made first team.
They are freshman defender Trevon Demison from Bakersfield High, freshman midfielder Gerardo Gonzalez from Wasco; sophomore forward Juan Carlos Gonzalez from Quartz Hill High; sophomore midfielder Andy Reyes from Patrick Henry High in San Diego; and sophomore midfielder Julio Lopez from Mira Monte High in Bakersfield.
Earning second team honors are freshman midfielder Andres Iniguez from Mira Monte, sophomore midfielder Jose Gonzalez from Quartz Hill and sophomore midfielder Julio Lopez from Mira Monte.
Since the Cougars are the No. 1 seed in the northern California playoffs that begin on Saturday they get a first-round bye and next Tuesday will host the winner of the (8) Feather River vs. (9) Lassen game.
The Cougars have to win two games to earn a trip for the final four at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut Nov. 30-Dec. 2.
Two teams from the north and two from the south will battle for the state crown.
Taft has won it once and been runner-up twice. The Cougars have been in the playoffs every year since the program began in 2004.

As it currently stands, at this time next season Neosho High School will have at least 17 former members of its baseball program littered throughout the ranks of college baseball.
As it currently stands, at this time next season Neosho High School will have at least 17 former members of its baseball program littered throughout the ranks of college baseball.
That number jumped from 14 on Friday — and is expected to rise — when four Wildcats inked letters of intent with North Arkansas College (Harrison, Ark.) at NHS. The four Wildcats; Wayde Hartman, Lane Brodie, Nathan Bankston and David Dean should help Phil Wilson's NJCAA Division III Pioneers, who finished 2012 ranked No. 9 at 39-14 overall.
"The bottom line is, when you can send a kid to college and it can be paid for, or helped paid for, and they can still play the game, is exciting," Neosho coach Donny Pennington said. "All of us coaches, that's our job. If we can get a kid into college and play baseball and get his academics paid for, then that's what it's all about."
All four players said they're grateful for the opportunity.
"It's really special," Hartman said. "I've been playing baseball since I was six years old, and just to think where I've come from since my freshman year, it's just amazing to think that I'll be able to continue on for another two years."
Dean, Brodie and Hartman all expect to see time on the mound for the Pioneers, while Bankston should fit into the program as a table-setting middle infielder. Hartman will also see time in the outfield under Wilson.
For Hartman and Dean, it was the draw of a winning program — the Pioneers have won eight-straight region titles and are currently ranked No. 15 in division III polls — that helped make their decisions easy.
"They were just a model of consistency," Hartman said. "Their winning tradition is huge, and it's a great place to go play college baseball."
Dean said, "I'm nervous, but overall I'm excited. It's a pretty cool day for me. They've been a national powerhouse for about the last 20 years, and I'm planning on heading down there and helping them continue to be very successful."
Brodie, who says he'd never planned on going to college, caught the eye of the North Arkansas staff after turning in a solid performance in their presence. Now, he says he's happy to continue his education and playing career.
"It's a very exciting day for me," he said. "I never planned on going to college, and now I am. I went down there and played against them, and they had a pretty solid team to play against, so that helped."
Bankston, who described himself as a gritty player, figures to help the team not only with the leather, but on the basepaths as well.
"I feel like taking my talents to college, you know, I really worked hard to get this," Bankston said. "I hope I continue to work hard, and see myself doing well at the college level. It's just really a good day for me. Wherever I need to play, I can play. Wherever they need me, I play with a lot of intensity. If I go out and play hard, get dirty, then I know I did a good job."
While Pennington said he's looking forward to following their collegiate careers, he's also looking forward to the upcoming high school season with these young men in tow.
"It's exciting, because now we have a season to think about and get ready for," Pennington said. "To have success there, and for the boys not to have to worry about where they're going to go once high school ball is over, that really takes a lot of stress off them."

When the Yaw Shin Leong scandal hit, I wrote a posting on what I thought about such personal misconduct and the ability of someone holding public to perform. Going through the track record of politicians whose infidelity they were able to hide when they were in office, their ability to lead is uncorrelated with what they do in their private lives - examples include Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, Mitterrand etc [Full article here]. It is important for us to treat these types of personal scandals differently from corruption. As I explained in my earlier article, any political party that tries to make political gains and project moral superiority over the other side when such scandals occur risks being accused of double standards and looking hypocritical when the same happens in their own party:

STOCKTON - Many of the 397 people who survived shootings in Stockton in 2012 have been blinded, lost limbs and vital organs, been paralyzed and confined to a bed or wheelchair.
STOCKTON - Many of the 397 people who survived shootings in Stockton in 2012 have been blinded, lost limbs and vital organs, been paralyzed and confined to a bed or wheelchair.
Then there are the emotional scars, which run very deep.
But there are plans to do more to help Stockton's survivors cope.
Netta Nagle knows firsthand how vital emotional support is. Nagle was shot once in the face and twice in the right leg while changing a flat tire late on July 14. Sight and hearing impairments, the loss of many of her top teeth, and a speech impediment are a result.
Still, Nagle hopes to complete high school this spring - Stockton Unified has provided her with a home-school teacher since the beginning of her senior year. She wants to go on to college to study forensics or, maybe, architecture.
But first, she said, she has to get new teeth and feel comfortable again going out into the community.
Franklin High Principal Reyes Gauna, who got to know Netta Nagle during summer school, described her as a "wonderful young lady" who was on track to finish school this spring. "My goal and my dream is for her to come back and at the end of the year walk at graduation. She is one of our students. Things happen in life."
While she gets support from her mom and two close friends, what's really helped has been communicating with another shooting victim, a girl about her age from Oakland.
Kyndra Simmons, who manages the Caught in the Crossfire Program for Oakland's Youth Alive! organization, said the approach to dealing with survivors of violence is different than speaking with families of homicide victims.
"When somebody has died, you can't tell their family that everything will be OK. That part is really hard," Simmons said. "When someone has been shot, families are really hurting, but there is a possibility that things are going to be OK. I'm much better talking to a family about how we can move forward to help families understand the severity of the injuries and what survival will look like."
There are programs for victims in San Joaquin County. The Victim-Witness Program is well-established, but its focus is on the victims' immediate needs and helping them navigate the criminal justice system. The nonprofit support group Victims of Violent Crimes of San Joaquin focuses primarily on the needs of homicide victims' families and is not prepared to meet the emotional support needs of shooting survivors, especially young people, founder Joyce Tuhn admits.
That's one reason that, on Friday, when the city of Stockton released its Marshall Plan for dealing with violence, one section dealt with implementing a program similar to Caught in the Crossfire. The plan hopes to deploy intervention specialists to meet shooting victims and their families in the hospital and stay with them as a support system, typically for six months.
"Some need to be relocated," Simmons said. "Once they are discharged, we start working on a plan to keep them safe - anything they can think of - enrolling them at school, getting them a job. We have a mental health clinician on staff. In some cases we offer financial support."
Michele Nagle, Netta Nagle's mom, has indicated she wants to get involved. "I want to start a support group for victims of violent crimes, essentially the innocent bystanders like my daughter," she said, telling people to contact her on her Facebook account at Michele Nagle-Johnson.

Foul play is suspected after a woman in her 70s was found dead at a home in The Highlands neighborhood on Sunday evening.
TUSCALOOSA | Investigators are crafting a timeline of the past few days, weeks and months of Kate Ragsdale's life, with hopes that the information will lead to her killer.
A neighbor found Ragsdale, 73, dead at her home in The Highlands neighborhood Sunday afternoon after noticing several newspapers in her yard.
An autopsy conducted Monday revealed that she died from "sharp force trauma," but authorities have not revealed the type of weapon used. Why anyone would kill the retired University of Alabama professor is still a mystery, said Capt. Loyd Baker, Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit commander.
"We have to see who her associates were, who she had come in contact with during the last few weeks or months. Did she have any problems with anyone?" he said. "Was this a random act of violence or theft? Those are the questions we have to answer."
Ragsdale had been dead at her home in the upscale neighborhood for at least a few days, judging from the newspapers in her yard and the amount of medication left in prescription bottles, Baker said.
Police have learned when Ragsdale was last seen walking her dog, which was unharmed and is being cared for by neighbors.
"We're closing in on the date and possibly the time of the crime, we're just not there yet," Baker said Monday afternoon.
Baker declined to say what kind of weapon was used or where in the house Ragsdale was found.
"We're withholding information because it allows us to cull false leads. There are certain facts about the scene that only we and the suspect know," he said. "We don't know who the suspect is at this point, we don't know why he was there or how he got there. Once those things are determined, I'll have a better idea about the motive."
Investigators took fingerprints from several items and collected evidence at the two-story house throughout the night Sunday and most of the day Monday. Autopsy results could lead investigators to something initially overlooked, Baker said.
The time elapsed between Ragsdale's death and the discovery of her body may not impact the investigation, he said.
"Obviously, the trail grows a little cold as time passes, but I don't think we are hindered severely by the amount of time that passed. We're only talking a few days," he said.
Ragsdale retired from the University of Alabama's School of Library and Information Studies in 2006. She had served as an associate professor and the library system's planning officer before her retirement. The school honored her with a Distinguished Alumni Award in 2012.
City Councilman Kip Tyner first met Ragsdale at a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society in the mid-1980s.
"She was such a wonderful person. She's someone you could always count on when it came to wanting the best for east Tuscaloosa," he said. "What a horrible, horrible tragedy."
Tyner worked with Ragsdale last year as community members worked to circulate a petition protesting the possible location of Taylor Hardin Secure Medical Facility on University Boulevard.
"She was a wonderful community activist," Tyner said. "She truly cared about her neighbors and her neighborhood."
Ragsdale worked at UA from 1979 until her retirement in 2006. As planning officer, she oversaw library construction and renovation projects, including the construction of the W.S. Hoole Special Collections Library, the Angelo Bruno Business Library, the Eric and Sarah Rodgers Library for Science and Engineering and the Libraries Annex, said UA spokeswoman Cathy Andreen. She was active in the Alabama Library Association serving on various committees, and received the University of Alabama Library Leadership Board's Faculty Award in 2004, she said.
"Kate Ragsdale played a key role in the growth and development of the university libraries in her long career as a planning officer, and had remained actively involved with the UA Retiree Association since her retirement in 2006," Deborah M. Lane, associate vice president for university relations, wrote in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time."
According to The Tuscaloosa News archives, Ragsdale was involved in civic organizations in Tuscaloosa for decades. She was a member of the Tuscaloosa Public Library board of directors and had been a longtime board member for West Alabama AIDS Outreach. She was an officer for the Tennis Patrons of Tuscaloosa, which sponsored a national youth tennis tournament here in the 1970s, and hosted foreign exchange students. As a member of the Junior League, she was instrumental in a program that used new methods to teach reading to elementary school students in the late 1970s.
Josephine Ayers, who lives in Anniston, knew Ragsdale as a child in North Carolina.
"Her father was in the state Legislature, so they would come to Raleigh to stay with his mother during every Legislative session," Ayers said. "We were in kindergarten together in the 1940s and grew up together, going to Easter egg hunts, teen dances and we were debutantes together."
Ayers hadn't seen Ragsdale in many years, but said that she and their group of friends from that time had been in touch after hearing the news of the death.
"It's just devastating," she said.
Police have asked residents of The Highlands to not speak to the media while the investigation is ongoing. The only vehicles traveling the streets of the quiet neighborhood Monday afternoon were driven by workers from a locksmith and a burglar alarm company.
"This isn't the typical neighborhood that you find this type of crime in," Baker said. "It's rare when you have a case like this, when an elderly person is attacked in their home by an unknown suspect. That's the worst possible crime."

Armed hostage standoff ends peacefully in MiddletonBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
January 31. 2013 5:25PM
Police responded around 2:10 p.m. after receiving a report that the man broke into his brother's home on Lakeshore Drive and took multiple weapons - including rifles, handguns, and an AK-47 - as well as magazines and ammunition, according to Sgt. Jason Lamontagne.
Police Chief Randy Sobel said the man, who was later identified as Richard Pettey, 35, walked to another home and took a woman hostage. He added police are looking into the relationship between the two as part of the ongoing investigation.
Sobel said Pettey was charged with armed robbery from a previous incident Thursday, as well as felony theft of firearms and kidnapping following his alleged actions along Lakeshore Drive. As police secured the scene around the home, Sobel said school officials in Farmington, where Middleton students attend classes, were notified of the situation. As a result, he added, the schools were put in a "soft lock down" as a precaution.
Students returned home following the incident. Initially, police closed off several nearby roads as a precaution, but eventually reopened many streets to let residents come and go. Nonetheless, Lakeshore Drive and the area around the home were closed.
"We have an immediate action team in place," Lamontagne said at the scene, adding members of the State Police's tactical team responded to assist.
State Police Col. Robert Quinn praised the efforts of police who helped secure the scene, safeguard the community and begin negotiations. He added this gave State Police time to respond and help resolve the issue without incident.
"This case has potential for extreme violence," Quinn said, adding he credited the success to the tremendous effort and teamwork of all who responded.
Local officers were assisted at the scene by members of Farmington, Milton, New Durham and Wolfeboro police, members of Strafford County Sheriff's Department and State Police - including members of the Major Crime Unit. Sobel said Pettey, who was taken to the Strafford County Jail in Dover, was scheduled to be arraigned in 7th Circuit Court in Rochester Friday at 11 a.m.

Pen Sherwood's Amitors artwork goes anywhere with Diana Kisselburg's words! Many years ago, my uncle Thomas (Tom) Phillip Hufford asked me to come up with a word the opposite of predator. Amitor is that word. Ami: Fr. friend, Amigo: Sp. friend, Amity: Eng. harmony, Ami: Formosa, Taiwan. Giraffe: non predatory animal unless young attacked. Butterflies: live, love, laugh, hope. Survive, thrive and inspire others. Pen Sherwood offered to do this Amtor artwork for free sharing the copyright with me for my Amitor concept. Amitor Tom would be so proud. Diana Hays Kisselburg

BRUSSELS (AP) — A plan by a Belgian mayor to remove a group of Gypsies by playing loud music backfired when the camping cars stayed put and the children danced to the music.
The group, with some 30 vehicles, arrived in the town of Landen, east of Brussels, late Sunday and Mayor Gino Debroux said they overstayed their welcome. After the music has played for some time without apparently disturbing the Gypsies, both sides negotiated and Debroux said the Gypsies would stay until Thursday.
Bruno Tobback, leader of Debroux's Socialist party, tweeted on Wednesday it was "not a good idea of Landen to chase Gypsies with music."
The Minorities Forum said in a statement that "loud music won't solve any problem. It will only move it elsewhere."

Hellooo Fall! (Irresistible Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes)
Isn't fall baking just great? I want to hear all about what you can't wait to bake in the coming months! And my friends in the Southern Hemisphere, feel free to share your favorite spring treats, too!
P.S. - Since I've talked about the importance of analyzing your work and having others critique it, I'm going to share my thoughts about the above photo. My hope with the background and tray was to add additional texture and layers to the photo. Plus their cooler tones were meant to tone down the warmer orange of the pumpkin. An issue I had with this shoot was with trying to even out the lighting. Even in the final photo, the light coming from my window to the right is too strong. So the frosting of the bottom-most cupcake ended up a bit bright. To prevent this, I should have reflected more light from the left and/or used a black board to reduce the light from the window. Agree with me? Disagree? I'd love to hear it!
Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes [Printable Recipe]
Cake slightly adapted from Tartelette
Makes 12 to 14 cupcakes
XIAOLU'S NOTES: I always use canned pumpkin for my baking due to its smooth texture and consistent thickness. If you really want to use a homemade puree, I recommend you drain it using cheesecloth or a coffee filter to ensure that it doesn't add too much liquid to the batter. This frosting recipe makes enough to frost 12 cupcakes fairly generously. If you prefer a thin layer of frosting, feel free to scale the recipe down by 1/3 or even 1/2.
1 cup PLUS 2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 scant cup canned unsweetened pumpkin puree [1/2 of a 15 oz. can]
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
6 Tbsp (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup PLUS 2 Tbsp sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
Pipeable and Not-too-sweet Cream Cheese Frosting (Recipe below)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the top of a standard 12-cup muffin pan (in case you get some "muffin top" action). Line pan with 12 baking liners. Sift the flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk to combine pumpkin, milk, and vanilla; set aside also.
Using an electric mixer on medium-high, cream butter and sugar together until light in color and fluffy. Turn mixer down to low, and add egg and yolk. Beat well to combine. Next, add 1/3 the flour mixture, then 1/2 the pumpkin mixture, another 1/3 of the flour mixture, the remaining pumpkin mixture, and the last 1/3 of the flour mixture, mixing to combine after each addition. Fill baking liners about 3/4 full (I always use my large cookie scoop for this). If you've filled all 12 baking liners and still have more batter, you can fill standalone baking cups 1/2 full with batter. Bake 20 to 27 minutes OR until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (a few tiny crumbs are OK but there should be NO wet batter). Cool 3 minutes in pan, then remove from pans to wire racks to finish cooling completely. Pipe or spread on cream cheese frosting, and enjoy!
Pipeable and Not-too-sweet Cream Cheese Frosting
3/4 to 1 cup (1 1/2 to 2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 to 3 cups (6.5 to 13.25 oz.) powdered sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
8 oz. (1 block) cream cheese, cold and cut into 6 to 8 chunks
Sift powdered sugar into a small bowl. In a larger mixing bowl, cream the butter, salt, 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, and vanilla until thoroughly blended and fluffy. Add the cream cheese, a chunk at a time, beating after each addition (just enough to work it in until it's smooth). Taste the frosting, adding and beating in more sugar as needed. Be careful to avoid overbeating or the cream cheese may start to break down and become gloppy. If not using immediately, chill until needed, then beat again until smooth just before using.

Yippee for fall and pumpkins! These sound deeelicious!ReplyDelete
Awesome picture, and a gentle reminder that cold weather is coming.ReplyDelete
Love the simplicity of these cupcakes and your have a perfect swirl on them, amazing! Love the styling, but that's obvious! Welcome Fall! I cannot wait to: bake an apple pie, while simmering chili on the stove, having cider and watching football!! #fallloverReplyDelete
I love it, fall is coming and I'm seeing more and more spicy, pumpkinny recipes, cant wait for more!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing..
Sometimes the classic recipes or simple recipes are the tastiest! But you always make them look fantastic and gourmet! I bet she loved them.ReplyDelete
it's never too early for pumpkin desserts in my opinion...or not-too-sweet cream cheese frosting (my favorite kind!). I could totally see myself requesting these for my birthday!ReplyDelete
what a great way to usher fall with these adorable cupcakes :)ReplyDelete

Gorgeous-Irresistible-Cute Cupcakes! Love the flavor :)ReplyDelete
These cupcakes look so great! I'm going to prepare them for the next party - maybe with some cranberries? ;)ReplyDelete
I'm sometimes struggling with this overexposition problem too. What I really love is cloudy wheather - but if too much light comes from the right, a transparent curtain helps too (although it adds a kind of rippled texture). Reflecting more light didn't really work for me when dealing with too much light from the source.
Thanks for the lovely comments, all!ReplyDelete
Robert - I'd love to get your feedback once you try the recipe =D. Feel free to Tweet or email if you have any questions :).
Nelly - mmmm I want to have a fall meal with you now =D

heidi xo

Always love the beautiful swirls on the cupcakes...really tempting!ReplyDelete
I love cupcakes, gonna try to make them myself too! They really look delicious!ReplyDelete
X Sarah
I would love to make these! I'm a total pumpkin ADDICT. I like the textures in the photo, too!ReplyDelete
You are saying that the light on the right is too strong but I like the contrast of light in this photo. On my computer screen that picture looks really good and the cupcakes also :)ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone!ReplyDelete
Helene - I appreciate your feedback very much! I actually did lower the brightness a little since I first wrote that critique. But I'm also usually my own worst critic so I appreciate knowing how others view it!
i love pumpkin, so I agree with your friend, C. sometimes, you just gotta go for what you know you love! :) I'm looking fw to fall root vegetables. although, i'm not ready to say bye to summer veggies yet. for pumpkin cake, instead of flouring the pan, i make a sugar-cinnamon mix, and use that to "release" the cake from the pan. the result is a sweet finger-licking crust (lightly crisp)...this technique is better for loaves, and not cupcakes..but just maybe something you might try? regarding the photo - i'm no expert but cannot pick anything wrong with the photo! it looks great. ps - i am often shocked by what photo TS rejects. have a great week!ReplyDelete
I know that it is not easy to achieve the perfect picture but I look at your pictures with a different eye and really like your work.ReplyDelete
yum! my mouth is watering :)ReplyDelete
What a beautiful cupcake, and what a beautiful story about Stephen! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I love the textures and colors on your photo! But disagree with you on the lighting (I think it is great and it gives a fallish feel to it).ReplyDelete
Spring is coming my way, so I'll keep this recipe for next year. The cupcakes look so beautiful, sweetie! xx
Such awesome looking cuppies.ReplyDelete
fall already?! no way! its just started to cool down here like a regular summer time after 2 months of triple digit hell. Its still summer for us. Beautiful cupcakes and i have no complaints about having these. The photograph is really pretty. The uncluttered (so YOU) styling and the dark same tone background brings out the beauty. Love that tray. is it cast iron? the frosting does not look too bright to me, at least not in my screen.ReplyDelete
Yum. I'm dying to start baking with pumpkin again, but it has been close to 100 degrees every day for the last week, so I NEED it to cool down!ReplyDelete
Loved hearing the photo analysis. You are so gifted and I have learned so much on your site. The idea of "cooling" down the background is a good one and I do think it worked for you. Being a complete rookie, I have never thought of that and in my most recent post, everything came out WAY too warm. Now I want to go re-shoot my photos with a cooler background! Ok, not really, but I know what to do next time. Thank you!
Ah, it's recipes like these cupcakes that make the transition from summer to fall a bit less painful... The squash and spices are definitely something to look forward to! :)ReplyDelete
is it time for pumpkin already?!?! these cupcakes are lovely, and i guess i need to go ahead and embrace fall. :)ReplyDelete
Your pumpkin cupcakes look very inviting and so pretty!!ReplyDelete
I made these for a party last night and they were amazing! Super moist and really yummy. A huge hit! Thanks for the recipe :-)ReplyDelete
Yay -- I'm glad these turned out well for you, Kristin! Thanks for the feedback!ReplyDelete
I think that photo is gorgeous! Hope I can improve my photography and be half as good as you are :) these cupcakes look pretty and delicious.ReplyDelete
Gonna share these beauties on FB now :)ReplyDelete
I would love if you added this and any other pumpkin themed links to my "Happy Post" today. http://su.pr/1rMDg2
Your spiced pumpkin cupcakes look fabulous! Great time to start baking and fill the kitchen with the wonderful aroma. Lovely pictures too!ReplyDelete
Yummmmmmm these look perfect!! I would've chosen something simple and delicious like this too. :)ReplyDelete
These look great! I was wondering if I could make them with cake flour? Also, I notice this is missing the usual allspice and cloves. Is the taste notably less spicy? I actually WANTED a recipe that didn't require me to go get more spices, but I also want a flavorful cake. :)ReplyDelete
I think it's best to stick with the flour called for usually, but if you really want to try cake flour add 2-3 tablespoons more to compensate for the lower gluten content. As for the spices, I think the spicing is more subtle than some other autumn cakes, but I found it perfect. I'm a pumpkin lover who doesn't want the pumpkin flavor overpowered by too much spice.ReplyDelete
I made them today and they were fantastic! I had cake flour and used that and they turned out tender and moist and wonderful. On the top, I added some candied pecans! So great!ReplyDelete
Yay I'm so glad it worked out well =D. Candied pecans sound amazing!ReplyDelete
I'd love to see them if you happened to take a photo :).
I've been looking for a recipe to use up my canned pumpkin, this looks perfect! :)ReplyDelete

I look at your video concerning the way you frost your cupcake and it seem to be so simple. My trouble is that the frosting melt after my swirl is done and it doesn't look good. Do you have a solution for my problem. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi there! Thanks for your question -- you do need to have a certain firmness of the frosting to have the swirl stay put. I can highly recommend my not-too-sweet cream cheese frosting using COLD cream cheese (yes, cold!). Please search for my black sesame matcha cupcakes to find that frosting (just omit the green tea/matcha powder and include vanilla extract for a plain cream cheese frosting). Swiss meringue buttercream also has a nice firmness and you can find that in my recipe archive as well. Other than those 2, you will probably need to add a LOT of powdered sugar to a frosting recipe and/or use shortening to make it firmer. I don't like to do either, so I'd highly recommend the 1st 2 options for taste/health reasons.Delete
Just perfect! I would really like to showcase this recipe on my http://www.cupcakesgarden.com/ cupcake recipes and ideas blog if you agree.ReplyDeleteReplies
Sure as long as you credit and link back to me -- thanks for asking!Delete
I love hearing from you all! Please leave me a message if you have questions, advice, or just to let me know you stopped by. Your feedback is always very much appreciated. Thanks! <3 Xiaolu

BUTLER TWP — Fire ignited above a furnace room late Thursday night and forced a couple from their home on Williams Road, authorities said.
George and Carol Pry were not injured, and their house had only minimal damage in the blaze about 10:15 p.m. The couple was able to save their pets, two dogs and a cat.
"I had just taken my shower and was getting ready for bed when all the alarms went off and the house started filling with smoke," George Pry said this morning while employees of a fire restoration company surveyed the damage at 139 Williams Road.
"It was quite a surprise I'll tell you," he said.
Pry said he and his wife won't be able to move back into the house for at least a month.
"There's a lot of smoke damage, water damage, and, of course, fire damage," he said.
The couple plans to stay with relatives until the damage is repaired
Township police were the first to get there and found smoke and heat coming from around the basement area in the rear of the home. Pry said firefighters initially had trouble locating the blaze, which was in the rear of the ranch-style home in the floor joists between the main floor and the finished basement
Meridian volunteer firefighters arrived and went inside. The fire appeared to have smoldered itself out before kicking back up, said Chief Toby Wehr of the Meridian Volunteer Fire Company.
The blaze was extinguished for good and confined to the basement. Most of the fire damage was to the floor joists, Wehr said.
Damage is estimated at $15,000 to the house and another $5,000 to its contents, fire officials said. The property is insured.
The suspected electrical fire remains under investigation.
Assisting the Meridian were firefighters from Lyndora, Greenwood Village, Mercer Road and South Butler.
They remained there for about two hours

Fire Department wants Manchester to seek new ambulance service bidsBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 19. 2013 11:09PM
MANCHESTER - The Fire Department wants the city to issue a new request for proposals for an emergency ambulance service provider that could replace American Medical Response, the company that has been dogged by complaints over its billing practices.
Fire Chief James Burkush made the recommendation at an Administration Committee meeting Tuesday, following months of consultations with a special committee that included elected officials and finance and legal department heads.
The committee was tasked with analyzing and coming up with a proposal for bringing the ambulance service "in house," rather than having an outside company handle 9-1-1 transports.
Burkush said putting out a new RFP was a necessary "transition" step, due to the complexity and cost associated with having the department run its own ambulance service. The contract would run 5.5 years, but could be terminated after 2.5 years. It would call on the vendor to assist the department in taking on a share, if not all, of the ambulance services In the meantime, Burkush said the new contract would force any company to be more responsive.
"Basically the best control would be a totally city-run operation, as we do plowing the streets and picking up trash," he said. "I think the present contract was lacking in controls the board and citizens wanted."
The new contract would require, for example, that the company have a local billing office and wait 90 days before sending bills to collection agencies.j
AMR, insurer reach deal
AMR was awarded the contract to be the city's 9-1-1 ambulance provider three years ago, but it has been beset by complaints over large bills, a complicated claims process and aggressive debt collection practices.
Part of the problem was attributed to the lack of a provider agreement between Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, the city's largest insurer, and AMR.
On the same day as the committee meeting, Mayor Ted Gatsas announced that an agreement had been reached between the parties.
"That was the biggest problem we had," Gatsas told the committee.
In a news release from the Mayor's Office, Christopher Stawasz, AMR's state general manager, said, "I would like to express our sincere thanks to Manchester Mayor Theodore Gatsas, whose efforts helped facilitate this process."
$7 million, 35 employees
Gatsas noted that an in-house ambulance service would swell the fire department's budget and that collecting unpaid bills would be a challenge in the city.
"Your collection rate in Manchester is going to be much different than in surrounding communities," Gatsas told Burkush. "We can talk about a transition here, but it sounds like (going in-house) is what the plan is."
Burkush estimated that for the department to run its own ambulance service, it would require another 35 employees and cost $7 million, which he conceded could be challenging under the tax cap.
The new proposed contract does not specify the reimbursement rate for the ambulance company or the amount it would pay to use its 9-1-1 system, a standard part of such agreements. These would be the subject of direct negotiations, according to department officials.
Burkush said while there had been improvements in AMR's service, some problems continued.
Alderman at-large Dan O'Neil was more pointed in his criticism.
"This has caused a lot of heartache for a lot of people. We'll never know just how much was over-billed, unless the attorney general gets involved. To me it's a serious issue. AMR dropped the ball. It wasn't the city's fault. AMR lost the city's trust."
The committee voted to table the proposal in order to consider the newly announced agreement between AMR and Anthem.
Fire Department officials want the new contract to take effect when AMR's current contract expires, Dec. 31.

My step-by-step photos and printable recipe are past these next few paragraphs. I just want to share some of my personal feelings about some recent comments I've been reading about The Pioneer Woman (along with Paula Deen, and Ina Garten, Sandra Lee and Rachael Ray).
Why so much hate, people?! I've watched Ree's new Food Network Show. I'm not so sure that Ree's written humor translates as well on screen, and I learn more from Anne Burrell-- when it comes to cooking techniques. But, whoa, Nelly! There are websites where people are having a field day ripping Ree's new show to pieces! She's being labeled a phony, a piece of PR marketing and a lot of not-so-nice digs at her "money". They're attacking her for her fattening food, along with Paula Deen. Much of this translates to me as pure envy, and a mixture of just plain food snobbery. While I appreciate "gourmet food" as much as any other "foodie", I'm also a fan of simple comfort foods. I hope that I never become as snobby sounding as some of the comments I read about this particular recipe! I have certain food aversions that I cannot overcome. But, I would never write anything like "gross", or "ew" if I see an ingredient that my palate just can't accept. I'm just plain disappointed in the "hate" websites.
It remains to be seen if the Pioneer Woman's new show will be as big a hit as her website. For now, she has a huge base of loyal fans. As for me, I like her personality, on her blog. I've never met her, in person, so I can't say that she's phony. Some of her recipes aren't something I'd make, but that doesn't mean there aren't other households who are racing to the store to buy those very ingredients. The same goes for my own food blog. There are times when I've posted a recipe, and the comments are less than stellar. Other times, I receive a lot of blog love when I post something else. We can't please everyone, and I try not to take things too personally. While I'm not a fan of recipes that use a lot of processed foods and/ or mixes, I'm sure there are plenty of people who prefer to use these shortcuts. Go for it! But, why the hate? If PW isn't your cup of tea, it doesn't mean she is worthy of such vicious attacks. Just move on...as I have with some Food Network personalities I just don't care for. For the record-- I suspect those who are on writing such hateful comments are not food bloggers. Some people just need to complain about something... End of mySo, back to this recipe. I love figs, and I only recently discovered how fun they are to cook and bake with in very recent years. I've had pretty good success in making my own fig jam. Figs and cheese... figs and Prosciutto... these make excellent pairings--and they make lovely appetizers. It was Tyler Florence's recipe for Bacon, Potato, Rosemary & Fontina Cheese with Arugula that opened my eyes to less traditional pizza combos. Ree's recipe uses Fig Spread (or jam), instead of red pizza sauce.
I usually make my own pizza dough, but this time I bought one from Trader Joe's-- I made this last Monday, on a work night. If I had planned enough ahead, I like making my pizza dough a day or two ahead. When the dough ferments, it takes on extra flavor that I really love. There are a few tips I've learned about making non-soggy pizzas...
I haven't purchased a pizza peel yet, so I use the back of a baking sheet-- with lots of corn meal. There is nothing more disheartening than to make your pizza and then it sticks...and rips... while trying to set it on a baking stone. If you don't have a baking stone, I've found that preheating a baking sheet works pretty well.
Ree Drummond, congratulations in your success. It's always nice for me to see a food blogger who is successful. I'd never have the courage to stand before a camera, and demonstrate my recipes. I don't have that kind of confidence!

Democratic wins, Corbett unpopularity already put eyes on 2014
Last week, I had already heard the stat that Gov. Tom Corbett would lose to a Democratic opponent – any Democrat would do apparently – by 10 points "if there was an election for governor today."
But driving home the issue in the source Public Policy Polling document, which came out before the presidential election, is that only 16 percent of respondents indicated they were not sure which side they would choose.
In other words, the governor would need to figure out how to take about two-thirds of that 16 percent to win, all else remaining equal.
The poll, taken Nov. 2-3, surveyed 790 likely voters in Pennsylvania and had a margin of error of 3.5 percent.
Not surprisingly with those numbers, there are already multiple names in the mix of those who are considering a run to supplant the generic "Democratic opponent" moniker.
One of the most notable for readers here in the midstate and for those putting strong stock in business executive leadership experience is Tom Wolf, chairman and CEO of York-based The Wolf Organization Inc.
Wolf served as secretary of revenue under Gov. Ed Rendell before returning to his family's building products business, which started before the Civil War, in lieu of a run for governor. He then led an ambitious transformation in the toughest economy in memory.
Even without Corbett's low numbers, that all might look pretty appealing to a voter in the middle.
Another name of interest for the voter interested in business climate is a blast from the recent past for Harrisburg politicos: John Hanger, former secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection, who also served under Rendell.
Hanger, who was at the helm of environmental group PennFuture for 10 years, left to head DEP as Marcellus Shale natural-gas drilling was going from a relative unknown in the mainstream to an 800-pound guerilla in the state's politics and economy.
Corbett has indicated he will run again, and for now, about the only thing I can say based just on the numbers is that it's a good thing for the governor that his election isn't today.

The roof is perhaps one of the most crucial parts of your structure and while roofs can indeed last for many years, they are very prone to damages. The roof is fairly exposed to the elements. When it rains or snows heavily, it bears the brunt of these harsh conditions. The same also applies during strong winds or storms. Living under a damaged roof is very risky. If you spot some damages then you must call a professional roof repair in Mcdonough service provider. In addition to this, it is also important to have your roof inspected regularly. One inspection a year would be perfect. Don't also forget to get the inspections after strong winds and storms just to make sure everything is alright. So, how do you know your roof needs repair? There are a few signs that can help you.
The first one is pretty obvious. If your roof is leaking during rains then something is wrong. The problem with a leaking roof is that it may end up causing more damage. Leaks are considered an emergency and as such, a quick fix from a roof repair in Mcdonough professional will do. Other signs include damaged or missing shingles, cracks in case of a concrete roof, mold and decay on soffits and fascia, and also leaning chimneys. These are just the basic signs but there are some roof damages that may not be obvious for the ordinary homeowner. If you suspect there is a problem somewhere you can always get an inspection done right away by a Mcdonough roof repair professional.
The cost is of course very important. How much money will it take to repair the roof? To be honest, you won't know until a full inspection is done and the roof repair in Mcdonough professional gives you a quote. The cost varies based on many factors. The extent of the damage for example is an important cost determinant. The type of roof, the type of damage, the size of the home, and the location you are in are some of the other factors that will have an impact on roof repair in Mcdonough cost. The average cost of Mcdonough roof repair for wooden roofs will range from $500 to $700. Slate roofs will cost between $500 and $1,000 to fix while tile roofing will require between $100 and $510. These fees might change over time.
For reference it may be helpful to compare the costs from surrounding towns as well:
Yes, it is possible to take a DIY approach in fixing the leaks or any other issues. However, you must be sure you know what you are doing. The reason why Mcdonough roof repair service providers are preferred is basically because they are trained in additional safety measures to avoid any risk of injury during the repair.
It is often a combination of many factors including bad or severe weather, algae and mildew, blocked gutters and downspouts that may lead to leaks. Once the Mcdonough roof repair contractors are done, you must start maintaining your roof through regular inspections to limit the risk of damage.
In most cases, finding a leak on the roof should be easy. However, it may also be a very huge hassle, especially for people who have never done it before. It will be much easier to call the best Mcdonough roof repair contractors for inspection. A damaged roof can affect the quality of life in your home.

STOCKTON - The Stockton Police Department revealed harrowing new details Wednesday of a high-speed pursuit that ended with a deadly crash after an alleged carjacker shot at police late Tuesday night.
STOCKTON - The Stockton Police Department revealed harrowing new details Wednesday of a high-speed pursuit that ended with a deadly crash after an alleged carjacker shot at police late Tuesday night.
Eric Nolan, a 30-year-old Elk Grove resident who was heavily armed, fired multiple shots at police before losing control of his vehicle and crashing into a tree near North Pershing Avenue and Interstate 5, authorities said. There were three other people inside the vehicle, including Gabriela Aparicio, a 27-year-old Stockton woman who was killed in the crash, police said. Two other occupants, a 19-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman, both of Stockton, suffered serious injuries, authorities said.
Nolan was arrested on suspicion of murder, attempted murder of a police officer, carjacking, kidnapping and multiple drug and weapons violations, police said. Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department, said Aparicio's death is not being considered the city's 70th homicide of 2012, because it does not fit the FBI's uniform crime reporting definition for murder.
Nolan was taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries Tuesday and was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail late Wednesday afternoon. The unidentified passengers who survived the crash are not likely to be arrested, Silva said.
"(Nolan) was driving so fast and reckless," Silva said. "Obviously, he was driving at a high rate of speed, and at one time during the pursuit he fired upon officers. He had total disregard for human life and public safety."
Police believe a deadly series of events started at 6:50 p.m. Tuesday, when Nolan and a woman allegedly carjacked and kidnapped a 55-year-old man who stopped his Ford F-150 pickup at a stop sign at South American and East 1st streets.
Nolan punched the man in the face several times and pushed him out of the truck near East Hazelton Avenue and Aurora Street before driving away, authorities said.
Police still are trying to determine whether Aparicio was involved in the carjacking, Silva said.
Nearly three hours later, at 9:46 p.m., Stockton police Sgt. Matthew Garlick was driving a marked patrol car when he saw the stolen truck parked in the 300 block of West Oak Street, officials said. Garlick saw two men walk away from the stolen truck and get into another vehicle, a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse, which then drove away, authorities said. Garlick attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but Nolan failed to stop and drove west on East Park Street at a high rate of speed, police said. Other officers joined in the pursuit as well.
Garlick saw Nolan point an object out of the window in his direction, officials said. He then saw a muzzle flash and heard multiple gunshots, authorities said.
According to police, Nolan was trying to get on Interstate 5 when he lost control of the car on the Pershing Avenue onramp. The car launched into a tree, fell to the ground and came to rest on its roof, trapping all four occupants inside, authorities said.
SWAT team officers made sure the scene was secure before firefighters extricated the people from the car. Aparicio died at the scene, authorities said. The other three occupants were taken to hospitals.
Officers found a sawed-off rifle inside the car and two loaded revolvers nearby, police said. No officers were injured during the pursuit, and none fired their weapons, authorities said. Garlick was placed on a three-day paid administrative leave along with Officers Jeffrey Pope, James Manor and Thomas Heslin, officials said.
Silva said authorities have begun an investigation to review the officers' actions. The investigation will include members of the Stockton Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office and the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office.
"We've launched a multiagency protocol investigation to ensure an unbiased investigation into the facts of this case," Silva said. "At the end of this investigation, all reports will be submitted to the District Attorney's Office for their review."

Spina bifida is a type of birth defect. It is a problem with how the spine and spinal cord develop. Spina bifida can begin to develop in a fetus before the mother even knows she is pregnant. In some cases, structures that should be inside the spinal canal can slip out. The structures affected may include:
- Membranes that surround the spinal cord
- Nerve roots that connect nerves to the spinal cord
- The spinal cord
- Back bones—may be deformed
There are 3 kinds of spina bifida:
- Occulta—small defect in one or more backbones, least severe form, usually no complications
- Meningocele—membranes poke through an open part of the spine and can form a cyst
Myelomeningocele—most severe form of spina bifida, membranes poke through and contain nerve roots or spinal cord and can lead to:
- Paralysis and incontinence of bowel and bladder may occur—frequently not cured by surgery
- Hydrocephalus—a build up of fluids in the brain that increases pressure on the brain
The cause of spina bifida is not known. There is a strong genetic factor for some with spina bifida.
Many studies have also shown a link between a low folate diet in the mother and birth defects. In particular, low folate diets are associated with an increased risk of spina bifida.
Risk Factors
This condition is more likely in females. Other factors that increase the risk of spina bifida include:
- Low maternal blood level of folic acid at the time of conception
- Family history of spina bifida
- A mother who had a previous pregnancy with a neural tube defect
- Mother's race: Hispanic or Caucasian of European origin
- Certain medications given during pregnancy
Occulta may not have any symptoms. Some with this type may never know they have spina bifida. There may be a small tuft of hair or skin discoloration over the low back.
The immediate symptoms of meningocele and myelomeningocele include:
- Sac filled with fluid leading out from the baby's spine
- Spinal cord and tissue may also protrude through the back
Infants and children with meningocele or myelomeningocele spina bifida may also experience long-term symptoms such as:
- Bowel and bladder problems
- Frequent urinary tract and other infections
- Learning disabilities
- Build up of fluid in the brain
- Curvature of the spine
Inability to walk:
- Muscle weakness and paralysis of the lower extremities
- Hip dislocation
- Foot and ankle deformities
- Many children with myelomeningocele are wheelchair bound
Prenatal Testing
A blood test of the mother before birth can predict the risk of spina bifida. If the test predicts a high risk of neural tube defects, then 2 more tests may be done:
- Amniocentesis—a sample of the fluid surrounding the baby is taken to measure for factors indicating problems of the spine
- Ultrasound—a test that uses sound waves to look at the fetal spine
A diagnosis before birth can help you and your doctor make plans. Surgery may be needed soon after birth.
After Birth Testing
After birth, meningocele and myelomeningocele are usually found on physical exam. Many tests will be needed to find out which bones and nerves are involved. The kidneys may also be damaged. They will need to be watched closely.
Most children with occulta spina bifida will never be diagnosed. This condition rarely causes any symptoms. It also has few complications. It may be discovered during a routine medical exam. It may also be found following x-rays of the lower back.
Occulta spina bifida requires no treatment.
Meningocele spina bifida is treated with surgery. It is done to remove the cyst. This form of spina bifida can be treated.
Treatment for myelomeningocele spina bifida is complicated. It may include surgery to place the nerves and spinal cord back in place, physical therapy for any physical problems, and supportive care for any other complications. Treatments for myelomeningocele may include:
During surgery, the nerves, membrane, and spinal cord are put back into place. It will be done within 24-48 hours after birth. In some cases, the surgery may be done before birth.
Surgery is done as early as possible to prevent further nerve damage. It cannot reverse damage that has already occurred.
More serious forms of spina bifida may require more surgeries throughout childhood.
Physical Therapy
Therapists will teach parents how to exercise the infant's legs and feet. Walkers, braces, and crutches will often be needed to let the baby move around.
Ongoing Treatment
Complications of spina bifida can be ongoing and extensive. It will be important for you to work with a team of doctors. It is important for you to get help for your child's physical needs and emotional support for you and your family.
To help reduce the chance that your baby will be born with spina bifida:
If you plan to have a baby, take
folic acid
supplements before the baby is conceived. They should also be continued throughout the pregnancy. A vitamin supplement containing folate may be the most reliable method of getting folate, but you can get it from food as well.
Foods with significant quantities of folate
- Leafy green vegetables
- Orange juice
- Beans
- White flour products and cereals fortified with folate
- Plan your pregnancy. Talk to your doctor if you have any of the risk factors listed above. Ask your doctor if any medications that you are taking increase the risk of having a baby with spina bifida.

Last year, J.C. Penney saw what every big retailer had been seeing for years: the threat of Amazon and other new competitors rising to destroy their business.
So J.C. Penney brought in a bold new CEO. Ron Johnson had already created Apple Store, a chain of physical stores where people flocked to shop. Before that, he had revamped Target.
And Johnson had a plan for J.C. Penney: Tell customers they don't have to spend time anymore clipping coupons or waiting for sales to happen. Instead, the store would offer fair prices on its merchandise every day.
"He sort of said sales were akin to drugs, and he was trying to wean customers off drugs," says retail analyst Rafi Mohammed.
It didn't work. The old customers really did love clipping coupons and waiting for sales.
"I come home and I cry over it, and my husband's looking at me, like, 'What's wrong?' " says Carol Vickery, who shopped at the store in Tallahassee, Fla. "I said, 'Penney's doesn't have sales anymore. I need my store back!' "
The company redesigned its stores to try to make J.C. Penney a destination for a younger, hipper crowd. There are boutiques within the store featuring individual designers. But the new crowd hasn't shown up yet.
This week, J.C. Penney announced that its sales in the last three months of the year were down about 30 percent from the previous year.
Now, the company is backing off its bold strategy a bit, and reintroducing sales and some coupons for shoppers in its loyalty program. But they won't be called coupons. They'll be called "gifts."
J.C. Penney is having a hard time. The retailer just announced its sales numbers for this past holiday shopping season, and sales were down more than 30 percent. That, on top of what was already a tough year for Penney's. Every couple of months, the company has had to release bad news. Zoe Chace, from our Planet Money team, says actually, J.C. Penney was trying to do all the right things. It just hasn't worked out so well.
ZOE CHACE, BYLINE: J.C. Penney saw the threat every big retailer has been seeing for years - Amazon, online shopping. And a year ago, they acted; hired a fresh, new CEO, Ron Johnson, who'd already done what was getting to be impossible - gotten people to flock to actual buildings to shop. He did the Apple Store. He revamped Target. And he had a strategy for J.C. Penney. And some pricing strategists, like Rafi Mohammed, they were intrigued.
RAFI MOHAMMED: His pitch to customers was like, look, we're going to lower prices across the board. You don't have to wait for our crazy sales. You can come in at any time, and you'll get a good price. I'm not saying it's going to be the lowest price, but it's a good price and - that's fair to you and us.
CHACE: In other words, you don't have to spend your time clipping coupons, watching the calendar for when the sales happen. You will always get a good deal here, every day of the week.
MOHAMMED: He sort of said that sales were akin to drugs, and he was trying to wean customers off of drugs.
CAROL VICKERY: When it first happened, I was traumatized; and I'd come home and I'd cry over it. My husband was like, what's wrong? I said, Penney's don't have no sales no more. I need my store back.
CHACE: Carol Vickery had a ritual of shopping at her J.C. Penney in Tallahassee, Florida, a ritual that included something that Ron Johnson had just taken away, bargain hunting. And there were a lot of Carol Vickerys.
VICKERY: On Saturdays, we would go in at 9 and shop until 1. And then you'd get coupons; you got 50 percent off $10. And the store would be so packed. You would always be bumping into people, getting through your stuff. It was crazy. It was great, though.
CHACE: I went to check out what's different in J.C. Penney today, at the mall on Staten Island - with a guide.
HILENE ABIOLA: I grew up in Staten Island and, you know, the Staten Island Mall - it was like, the hangout spot.
CHACE: Hilene Abiola, 28 years old, fashion blogger. She grew up going to J.C. Penney - but not so much, as an adult. And she's exactly the kind of person J.C. Penney wants. In fact, they've redesigned the stores to appeal less to the coupon clippers and more to slim, young fashion bloggers.
So right off the bat, does anything look different?
ABIOLA: It definitely feels a bit more airy, spacious. They're trying to do more with the visuals, like what we're walking past right now. Obviously, that wouldn't have been there before.
CHACE: It's a bright, skinny mannequin. It's stylish. The idea is, make J.C. Penney a destination; someplace that a younger, hipper crowd will actually want to go - like, say, the Apple Store. There are these boutiques, these special sections of the store dedicated to just one designer.
ABIOLA: OK, this is the Liz Claiborne boutique. They have like, an interesting light, and it's like, very - like, modern. They have these couches here that you would never have found before. It's kind of like a lounge-y feeling.
CHACE: Yeah.
ABIOLA: And since when would J.C. Penney have a lounge in the middle of the shop, at the stores?
CHACE: Do you like it, though?
ABIOLA: It's definitely a lot nicer.
VICKERY: Have you ever been to a store, when you walk in you go, oh, God, they're probably gonna check my credit rating.
CHACE: Carol Vickery, in Tallahassee. She does not like boutiques.
VICKERY: The boutique stores now inside of Penney's - they put some clothes in now. That's like, what, what? I mean, it's not normal shopping for normal people.
CHACE: And here is J.C. Penney's sales problem in a nutshell. Their old customers, like Carol, feel unwelcome. But the people like Hilene, who they hope become their new customers, are so far just lukewarm. They kicked the old customers out before making sure new customers would arrive. Lately, things have gotten so bad, they're backing off the bold strategy of a year ago, a bit; reintroduced sales, coupons - though they're calling them gifts right now.
But the new J.C. Penney is still very different from the old. Back in New York, I saw them lose two more customers.
MARGARET RUSSO: There's nothing here. There's nothing here.
CHACE: Margaret Russo and her daughter Teresa.
TERESA RUSSO: They did away with the catalogs, and she used to shop through the catalog.
MARGARET RUSSO: Well, that's the thing. A million times, I did it.
TERESA RUSSO: They said everybody goes on the computers, but she doesn't know how to operate a computer so we take her to the store.
MARGARET RUSSO: Well, what are you going to do? I guess...
TERESA RUSSO: All good things come to an end, right?
MARGARET RUSSO: Yeah.
CHACE: It's hard to move into the future when the customers you have just don't want to go there. Zoe Chace, NPR News, New York. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
