Rewind the BETAMAX of life: Nam June Paik at Tate Liverpool and FACT
Nam June Paik (1932 - 2006) is an artist fabled for what he has achieved, as the instigator of video art, the pioneer of media art and through his influence on the indebted MTV generation. It's as if his career is almost made for the retrospective exhibition. His work is bound to his legacy, and his influence is hard to encompass. The importance of this legacy asks two parallel questions, how to preserve, present and document but also how to react, trace and respond. Both are targeted through a new joint exhibition of Paik's work at Tate Liverpool and FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), the first major retrospective of his work since his death in 2006 and the first exhibition of his work in the UK since 1988.
Tate presents a comprehensive chronicle of Paik's movements through the avant-garde, in performance, composition, television and sculpture. There are TV sets, robots and Buddhas, mixed with historical documentation, vitrines filled with exhibition programs, posters and photographs and timelines drawn on walls, which denote his many collaborators and read like a roll call of the most influential artists of the 20th century - John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Joseph Beuys and Merce Cunningham.
In contrast to the Tate, where you can look and listen with historical meticulousness, at FACT you are given a remote control. Here you are encouraged to relax, in an archive lounge, and browse a collection of his video works at leisure. Or lie back underneath Laser Cone (1998) and be dazzled.
Buchla Christmas by Warner Jepson
Need tunes for your holiday party? Brooklyn-based experimental label SHINKOYO just released this little gem - a 1969 recording by Bay Area composer Warner Jepson of Christmas carols, recorded entirely on the Buchla 100 Analog Modular Synthesizer housed at the Mills College Electronic Music Studios. Jepson, in a description accompanying the track, recalls that he produced "Buchla Christmas" as a soundtrack for a children's holiday party, hosted by SFMOMA.
Required Reading
In order to explore the contradictions and the potential of time- based art, especially in its cinematic guise, I trace a number of overlapping and conflicting genealogies of film and video art. I believe that only by creating a constellation of such genealogies can the logic and structural antinomies of film and video art—and of time-based art in general—be brought into relief and related to the wider changes in the political economy of time during the past decades, during which the West has seen a gradual demise of Fordist assembly-line production and a disintegration of the strict separation between work and "free time." The classic alternation of work and leisure can be called, with Guy Debord, a form of pseudocyclical time, an apparent return to agricultural, "mythical" cycles in a temporal regime built on irreversible, historical time—or rather, on a reified form of such historical time, that of commodity production.
"Once there was history, but not any more," because the class of owners of the economy, which is inextricably tied to economic history, must repress every other irreversible use of time because it is directly threatened by them all. The ruling class, made up of specialists in the possession of thingswho are themselves therefore possessed by things, is forced to link its fate with the preservation of this reified history, that is, with the preservation of a new immobility within history.7
This immobility is manifested in pseudocyclical time, a commodified temporality that is homogenous and suppresses "any qualitative dimension" or, at most, mimics such dimensions in moments of sham liberation.8 For Debord, time-based art from the 1960s could consist only of such pseudoindividual, pseudoliberatory moments ...
Public Supply I (1966) - Max Neuhaus
For "Public Supply I," Max Neuhaus confined his role as musician to that of a "catalyst for sound-producing activities," using the largest existing network, the telephone network, which had about 500 million subscribers at the time. Using technology he had constructed himself, he was able to mix calls coming in to ten telephones in the studios of the WBAI radio station in New York in different ways, and then broadcast this melange of listeners' sounds and noises. Once the listeners who called in had switched their radios on, he played with the feedback this produced and bundled sounds from introverted and extroverted callers together.
"I realized I could open a large door into the radio studio with the telephone; if I installed telephone lines in the studio, anybody could sonically walk in from any telephone. At that time there were no live call-in shows. […] Although I was not able to articulate it in 1966, now, after having worked with this idea for a long time and talked about it and thought about it, it seems that what these works are really about is proposing to reinstate a kind of music which we have forgotten about and which is perhaps the original impulse for music in man: not making a musical product to be listened to, but forming a dialogue, a dialogue without language, a sound dialogue."

Math Is Hard, Let's Go to the Angels Game! + Rootin' for the Enemy and Beware of Hitchhiking Mantises
I'm a freak, I admit it. I loved math in school. Algebra, geometry, trig, calc, it all appealed. I was even working on a math minor in college until multiple variable calculus. Trippy stuff that. Once I stopped being able to see what the shapes were doing in my head. *tap, tap* I'm out. But I still enjoy it. Problem solving. Statistics. Wonderful stuff! But this elimination number math? Yuck! That's an entirely different story.
Oh I am familiar with it. Between my Dodger fan childhood and my Angels fan adulthood, I have _plenty_ of experience with elimination number math, I'm afraid, and just enough experience with magic number math to know that I significantly prefer that…then again, don't we all? The Angels have certainly spoiled me more years than not this past decade but, especially with last season's refresher course, I'm not too rusty to torture myself with endless "what if" elimination number math scenarios. Tom Godwin had the Cold Equations. I call these the Desperate Equations.
Could it happen this way?:
If the Rangers lose one and the Angels win two, and the Rangers lose one and then another one, and another two and the Angels win one and then another two and two more…
Or, maybe, could it happen this way?:
If the Red Sox lose one, and lose one more, and the Rays lose two, and the Red Sox lose one and the Rays lose two more, and the Angels win four…
So, one plus one plus two plus one… Hmmmm….anyone else overcome with an irrational desire to watch Clue? 😉
All equations point to the fact that the Angels still have a chance. But with another loss to their record, and especially if they continue committing those kind of errors, it's a thin wisp of a chance, even after this evening's win. If they win just about every game left. If the Rangers or the Red Sox and the Rays start losing, a lot. If. If. If…suffice to say, it's pretty darned iffy. But stranger things have happened.
I still have hope. I am practical and this is far from my first September rodeo, but I have hope. And I have tickets to Friday night's game against the A's and Monday night's game against the Rangers. One way or the other, however these equations work themselves out, I want to enjoy watching my team play as much as possible. After all, whether it starts at the end of October or September, it's a long, cold, baseball-less winter. Gotta gorge yourself while the game's in season…and if the solution to either of the equations works out to a be Red, Halo'd October, I want to be there to see it.
* * * * *
And sadly, as part of the Desperate Equations, I find myself once again rooting for the Yankees. The AL West is so…well…the AL West that this happens once or twice a season out of necessity. The enemy of my enemy is…still really distasteful to root for truth be told but, much like when I rooted for the Red Sox against the Rangers a few weeks ago, it has be done.
However, it amuses me to no end that Red Sox fans are rooting for the Yankees along with me at the moment. Red Sox fans, you're a little newer at this rooting for the enemy thing than some of the rest of us, so I offer you the following advice from another favorite movie:
The shame is like the pain. You only feel it once.
And that is absolutely…not true. But the shame and the pain do get a little be better each time. Enjoy. 😉
* * * * *
On a more humorous note, when Seth and I stopped for gas on the way out of town this weekend, we noticed we had a hitchhiker on the pedal of my bike:
We tried to coax the little guy off, but he was so stubborn he would have none of it. And he had two broken back legs so we figured we would just let him be. Maybe the wind would give him enough of a lift to fly away when we took off. But no, the next morning when we went to unload our bikes for our morning ride, some 245 miles away, he was still in the truck bed and very much alive. This time he let us move him to the grass. Maybe he was hoping to catch some sort of wounded mantis transport for Florida? It was like the Incredible Journey in search of LoMo.

Authentic New Tanaka Revolver (2008-06-26)
Although airsoft guns can be classed as toys, there's no denying that a lot of them are made to closely resemble the real deal. Yet, though the aesthetics may be an exact replica, there is still the sobering fact that it doesn't operate exactly like the real thing, whether it be winding a hi-cap magazine or filling gas into the grip or cylinder of a revolver. Well, recently, we've seen a number of manufacturers taking steps to make their real-steel replicas not only look and feel like its real gun counterpart, but operate just like one too. Assault rifles with blowback seem to be all the rage right now, with the WA M4 being the proverbial hot crossed-buns, with Inokatsu hot on-the-heels of WA also, and let's not forget Marui's AK74MN.
So, what have Tanaka tinkering away at? Well, revolvers have always played a major part of their product line-up, so it comes as no surprise that their quest for realistic operation comes in the guise of a revolver. The charming things about revolvers are the mechanism and the whole process of placing the shells into the chamber and Tanaka have concentrated on making this experience as authentic as possible with their new M500 revolver. As you can see from the photo above, the shells are removable, but instead of filling the gas into a tank in the cylinder, each individual shell is charged with gas that is used to propel the BB held within the shell. Some may feel that it is a bit troublesome, but that's what makes revolvers so intriguing to play with, if you don't want the hassle then a semi-auto blowback pistol is probably more to your liking, revolver fans will most likely appreciate this little gem from Tanaka. A cartridge stand is included to make loading and charging the shells easier.Note: Picture is an excerpt from ARMS Magazine #240

We Try Burgerville's Fresh Raspberry Milkshake
Keeping tabs on the chains.
On the heels of its popular Fresh Strawberry Milkshake, Pacific Northwest-centered fast food chain Burgerville just released its second summer seasonal treat: the Fresh Raspberry Milkshake. And while the focus remains on in-season fruit, this particular shake doesn't quite match the success of its strawberry brethren.
Burgerville's M.O. is right there in its slogan: "Fresh, Local, Sustainable." Its constantly rotating seasonal items, which include burgers topped with Walla Walla sweet onions in the summer and pumpkin desserts in the fall, utilize produce sourced entirely from nearby farms. The raspberries in this seasonal milkshake come from Liepold Farms, which also supplies Burgerville's strawberries and blackberries. Portland's own Sunshine Dairy supplies the shake's vanilla ice cream base.
Upon first sip, you can't ignore the fact that there are several chunks of raspberry floating around in every square inch of this shake. While Burgerville took pains to puree its strawberries to an easily suckable consistency, the same cannot be said of its raspberries. Expect your straw to become inundated with clusters of semi-frozen raspberry drupelets, seeds and all. You should probably reach for a spoon instead.
Unfortunately, the shake just doesn't taste like real raspberries, which are usually more tart than sweet. Here, the sugar in the vanilla ice cream sits front and center, with any raspberry flavors—real or otherwise—hiding in the background.
Barring a lengthy process that involves collecting the juice and pulp but straining out the seeds, raspberries aren't the ideal candidate for a Burgerville milkshake. The result is too lumpy and too mildly flavored, and you end up needing to floss out the seeds stuck in your teeth. Those faults aside, it's a pleasant enough dessert, but better to hold out for whatever Burgerville's got up its sleeve next.

|Mosque Hit In Yarmouk
|[Reuters] Opposition activists said deaths in Yarmouk, to which refugees have fled from fighting in nearby suburbs, resulted from a rocket fired from a warplane hitting the mosque.
A video posted on YouTube showed bodies and body parts scattered on the stairs of what appeared to be the mosque.
The latest battlefield accounts could not be independently verified due to tight restrictions on media access to Syria.
Syria is home to more that 500,000 Paleostinian refugees, most living in Yarmouk, and both Assad's government and the rebels have enlisted and armed Paleostinians as the uprising, which began as a peaceful street movement 21 months ago, has mushroomed into a civil war.
Heavy fighting
... as opposed to the more usual name-calling or slapsy...
broke out 12 days ago between Paleostinians loyal to Assad and Syrian rebels, together with a brigade of Paleostinian fighters known as Liwaa al-Asifah (Storm Brigade).
After Sunday's air strike, festivities flared anew between Paleostinians from the pro-Assad Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine-General Command (PFLP-GC)
... founded and led by an ex-captain in the Syrian army and a Pencilneck puppet entry in the Worderful World of Terror...
and rebels including other Paleostinian fighters, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group.
Some PFLP-GC fighters were killed, the London-based Observatory said. Opposition activists and the Observatory said many were trying to escape the internal fighting in Yarmouk.

Larry Page, Google's CEO, regrets he is unable to lunch today. And not just today, it seems, but all the way into mid July. The reason? Larry has "lost his voice" and "can't do any public speaking engagements for the time being," says Google. That includes the second quarter earnings conference in three weeks' time. His voice is gone, and it isn't coming back anytime soon.
The announcement has spooked investors. In an industry that endlessly speculated about the on again, off again health of Steve Jobs at Apple, this sort of news gets the rumor mill activated. Google says it is business as usual and that Page is "OK" and continuing to run the company. "He's running all the strategy business decisions and all that," reassures Google.
Not all investors buy it. JP Morgan described the announcement as "odd," and others are wondering. One told the Wall Street Journal that the decision to miss an earning call was "highly unusual." He said, "It's hard to imagine a CEO missing that much stuff and not having a serious problem," echoing what could become a rumbling chorus.
The PR Verdict: "D" (It's a Dud) for Google. Who knows what the real situation is, but this explanation doesn't reassure the market. Already suspicion is growing that Google is being less than frank.
PR Takeaway: Don't over-complicate. Let's face it, losing your voice doesn't last three weeks. If Page can't speak at earnings in three weeks' time, it's not a bad idea to flag it beforehand–but why not suggest that he's having a minor medical procedure/treatment that will put him out of action for a fixed period? Use calming words to minimize the fuss and reinforce that it's not market moving and material. Something is up, and now Google has more explaining to do. It might have been easier to have been straightforward from the start.
Should Google have anticipated investor worries, or is this a case of the truth just not being good enough these days? Give us your PR Verdict, below.

Photo from Changing Modes MySpace page.
I dropped by Bird's Nest last night and caught most of the International Pop Overthrow Showcase. Like The Abbey, Bird's Nest has a friendly, neighborhood bar ambience that complements the good vibes that seem to flow naturally at these IPO events. The audience was enthusiastic, and the musicians exuded a spirit of cooperation and mutual support. I'm hoping to post a more detailed review of last night's showcase within the next few days.
Today marks the end of International Pop Overthrow Chicago 2010, and there are two separate showcases at The Abbey Pub on Elston in Chicago. I sometimes wonder if there's any real purpose to my providing previews here on Broken Hearted Toy, particularly since I usually don't post them until a few hours before the show. But I've discovered a lot of interesting new bands through this process of checking their MySpace pages, and I hope at the very least, the exposure here might lead some readers to find out more about them.
Once again, a tip of the hat to IPO founder David Bash for the number of talented acts he pulls together each year. So, here's today's afternoon lineup. All acts are from Chicago unless otherwise noted.
Telstar, led by Anthony Calderisi, opens this all-ages showcase at 1:00PM with ringing guitars and strong melodies on songs like "Miracle" and "I'm Down." The Spindles mix covers (there's a killer version of The Hollies' "Look Through Any Window" on their MySpace page) and catchy originals like "Peace With The Past."
The Webelos also draw on The Hollies for inspiration, along with Fountains Of Wayne and Wilco, and have been doing extremely well in the Red Eye newspaper's Rock 'n' Vote contest. Songs like "Shift Your Gears" have a classic power pop feel while "Oh Miki" finds them taking a lighter, almost Country & Western feel. The band's Model Citizen EP is due out soon.
Blackout Dates play hard-hitting songs like "Enjoy The Ride" that brim with raw vocals and careening guitars. Changing Modes is an intriguing New York quintet that blends female and male vocals in cutting edge songs like the title track from its recent Down And Out In Shangri-La CD. Empire Garrison has members from Minneapolis and Chicago and plays mainstream rock tunes like "She Will Be The Record" that boast sophisticated arrangements and vocals.

Possible FIX for WPA in Network Wizard
I'm sick and tired of people complaining about how the wizard doesn't work with WPA, so today I stole my mom's wifi card and router and spent the afternoon trying to fix things.
Well, as far as I can tell it boils down to the
wpa_cli reconfigure
line (953 on the attached script). I commented that out and everything worked. As far as I can tell, that line shouldn't be needed, since wpa_supplicant is killed in the next line, then restarted later. Aside from which, any time I use the command, it screws up wpa_supplicant, which then refuses to work properly again until I bring down the network interface and unload the driver.
I'm using Puppy 3.01, with a wpc54gs v2 pmcia card using ndiswrapper, connecting to a WPA-TKIP network, in case any of that's relevant.
EDIT: My original instructions mentioned uncommenting the killWpaSupplicant in the useWpaSupplicant function that was right above the first call to wpa_supplicant. Turns out that was wrong. I don't know why it worked at the time, but when I went back to test it better it failed every time. I've corrected the instructions to avoid confusion.
commented out line 953

I've had it not work for me, however I concluded that it was the order of what and how I clicked things during the process.
Load the module, save, click on it, click wireless
then click WPA/TKIP first and then fill everything in, save, use this profile
auto dhcp or static
yes to save for next boot
I found if I didn't click on WPA/TKIP first and then fill in the correct SSID and passphrase then it wouldn't work.
One thing I couldn't see was any indication of which you had selected ... it would be nice if the WPA/TKIP button became a different colour once you had selected it to show this is what is being used. I have forgotten to click anything several times and it, obviously with afterthought, doesn't work. It did occur to me that this might be a potential reason for it not working, as there is no easy way to see if the type (WEP, WPA/TKIP, WPA2) has been clicked.

I tried it again today, but now it wouldn't work. Turns out I shouldn't have uncommented line 947. I don't know why it was working yesterday. I should have rebooted into pfix=ram and tried it again, but I was lazy.
So I started over with the original file, and this time the only change I made was commenting out that
wpa_cli reconfigure
line. This time, I tested it multiple times in pristine installs. Worked flawlessly. I tried the original and the version I uploaded yesterday for comparison, and neither worked at all.
I've updated the attachment in the first post.

May be you would like to look through the wizard lines and see if it is possible to remove
via the wizard
an automatically selected but incorrect wifi driver?
I have a RALINK 2500 wifi usb and a WPA set-up. The latest wizard (2.17, 3.01) preloads the rt2570 usb driver then tells me it doesn't work with WPA. Which is really not much use to me and the wizard has no way for the user to remove this useless default driver.
Switching to use ndiswrapper (and wpa_supplicant) is troublesome because of this pre-loaded rt2570 driver. I have rmmoded the rt2570 in rc.c local with some success but can't always get ndiswrapper to run on boot-up.

Yeah, one of those would be nice. I'll see what I can do, but I can't make any guarantees as far as time-frames go. I've spent most of my break working, so I want to relax a little now before school starts (Monday).

Hi, totally new to linux so I have very little idea of what I'm doing. I've managed to get the Linksys WPC54GS ver. 2 working when I turn off WPA security using the bcm43xx driver. However, when I turn WPA back on I'm unable to connect--I get "unable to establish WPA connection". I see per your instructions that the wpa_cli reconfigure line should be commented out, but since I'm totally new to this I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing this. If you could describe this process step-by-step I would be hugely appreciative.

Open Geany (text editor), then open the file /usr/sbin/wag_profiles.sh, then find the correct line (goto-line 953) and add a "#" at the left end, then save and exit.

Well, it's line 953 on the script I uploaded. Might be a little different on the original. I had originally added a bunch of debugging stuff to figure out where the problem was. I removed all that, but there could be extra whitespace lines. I also added a tag or two at the top to log the changes. So the line will be
953, but probably not exactly that.
Or you could just download the one I uploaded, decompress it, and put it in /usr/sbin (overwriting the original, though maybe you should back that up first).
gunzip wag-profiles.sh.gz
^--- that decompresses it

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the help. I've been fiddling around and have now tried several clean installs of Puppy, tried commenting out the line mentioned above, etc., but I can't get it to recognize my network at all, much less connect with WPA on. The driver seems to be ok, ie Puppy tells me there's an eth0 interface, but where previously it used to at least see my neighbor's open network it now doesn't even recognize that. I'll keep playing around but any suggestions would be appreciated.

This sounds like you're looking for an open network with a profile set for WPA. Try loading the "automatic" profile.

Delete the line "ap_scan=2" in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.
Further the "Network Wizard" seems to be buggy, so please use the console with the following commands.
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# /usr/sbin/wpa_connect.sh wlan0 wext
# dhcpcd wlan0
If you succeed in WPA, you can make a script using the above codes.

yes, the Network Wizard is buggy, but your solution is not universally correct.
- the "ap_scan" value is important with some routers.
- "wlan0" is not the correct interface name for all wifi drivers.
- "wext" is not the correct wpa_supplicant driver parameter with all wifi drivers.
A thorough explanation of wpa_supplicant usage is in "PART 2: WPA encryption" of "How to configure wifi from the commandline"

Hi Everyone. Here are the deadlines for the Great Scratch-Off...Yellow Cakes for the month of June:
June 1st: All Yellow Cake Recipes MUST be in for entry into the Scratch-Off. Your selection of the recipes you are going to sample must be in by this time, also.
June 30th: All results must be posted, including pictures, if possible.
July 5th: The results will be tabulated and a winner will be chosen. We can choose someone to be the tabulator.
1. Please have entries in by the deadline for each month.
2. Each participant must try at least 2 recipes.
3. We should try to have all recipes sampled by at least one person. If someone posts more than one recipe into scratch off, then at least one of their recipes must be chosen.
4. Please have your "results" posts in by the deadline to have your input included.
5. Be honest, but not cruel, with your critique of the recipe.
6. Please follow the recipe and don't make substitutions for ingredients. The recipes can be halved, cut in thirds, or quartered if needed.
Judging Criteria
1. Flavor
2. Texture/Crumb
3. Moistness
3. Ease of Recipe
4. Cost of Recipe
5. Ability to convert into cupcakes
After you comment on all these characteristics, give the recipe an overall score ranging from "0" for Terrible to "10" for Excellent . You can make a suggestion on how the recipe can be improved, if needed, if you want.
All right, Ladies and Gents, get ready to fire up your ovens!
Thanks Darlita! I'm just waiting for the list now then I can give this a try.
So we can choose any scratch yellow cake recipe we so desire?
A list of recipes will be posted and you can choose from that list. We entered recipes on the previous thread.
Can you post a link to the previous thread? I missed it.
Here's the previous thread for the Great Scratch Off:
P.S. Am moving this thread to the general forum (same forum used for cake decorating challenges). The request for recipes is to advance the bake-off challenge.)
Thank you, Jan H for moving the thread
You're very welcome, Darlita.
Now I dont want to step on any toes or anything... but I was wonering if Lita829 could post of list of the names of the yellow cake recipes submited. I know they are all on the org post but i think a list in this post with the rules and everything else would help alot. Then people would jsut have to find the recipes...
as AKA_cupcakeshoppe mentioned, someone is compiling the list of recipes so they can all be summarized in this thread . I think if you want the actual recipe after reviewing the list, you'd then need to look it up on that other thread - as opposed to trying to have someone print all of the recipes again here in this thread. Unless someone wants to post it as a document somewhere (they did that for a few other threads, e.g. holiday treats, cupcake recipes, I forget what else. I think fiddlesticks hosts a bunch of those)
Here is a list of the Yellow-Cake entries. Some will be written out and others will be provided as links:

Great American Cakes
by Barbara Kafka
Gourmet December 1987
Yellow Cake Layers
This is probably America's favorite layer for any kind of cake; it is what the cake-mix people try to imitate and never get right.
Makes two 8-inch layers
2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs at room temperature
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Into a bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter, add sugar gradually, beating, and beat the mixture until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the flour mixture and the milk alternately in batches, beginning and ending with dry ingredients, add the vanilla, and beat the batter until it is smooth.
Divide the batter between 2 lightly greased and floured 8x1 1/2-inch round cake pans, smoothing the top, rap each pan on a hard surface twice to expel any air bubbles.
Bake the layers in the middle of a preheated 350-degree F oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean and the layers pull away slightly from the sides of the pans. Let the layers cool in the pans on a rack for 8 minutes, run a thin knife around the edge of each pan, and invert the layers onto the racks. Let the layers cool completely.

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups cake flour (self-raising)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 mins). Add eggs one at a time combining well after each addition. Add flour alternately with the milk and lemon juice in four parts mixing well after each addition. Divide the batter equally between the 3 pans and bake for 25 mins (check after 20) until a cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the centre and the cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pans for 10 mins and then turn out onto racks to cool completely. Fill and frost as desired. Serves 12-16 wedges.

The recipe I quite like :
All-Purpose Buttery Yellow Cake
The Americas Test Kitchen Family Cookbook Copyright 2006
2 ¼ cups cake flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
226 g unsalted butter, softened [needs less, try 205]
1 ¾ cups sugar [1 ½ c]
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups whole milk, at room temperature
1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 340 degrees. Lightly coat two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans or 1 9x13-inch cake pan with vegetable oil spray, then line the bottoms with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.*
2. Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 6 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, scraping down the bowl and beaters as needed. Beat in the vanilla.
3. Reduce the speed to low and beat in one-third of the flour mixture. Beat in half of the milk. Repeat with half of the remaining flour mixture, then the remaining milk, and finally the remaining flour mixture.
4. Give the batter a final stir using a rubber spatula to make sure it is thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top. Bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake(s) comes out with a few crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes for the sheet cake, rotating the pan(s) halfway through baking.
5. Let the cake(s) cool in the pan(s) on wire racks for 10 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edge of the cake(s) to loosen, then flip out onto the racks. Flip the cake(s) upright, discard the parchment, and let cool completely before frosting 1 to 2 hours.
Vanilla Buttermilk Recipe from Sky High
Makes one three-layer 9-inch round cake [can be reduced of course]
3 3/4 cups cake flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon plus 2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 sticks (10 ounces) [283 g] unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups plus 1/3 cup buttermilk
5 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter three 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of each pan with a round of parchment or waxed paper and butter the paper.
2. Combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixer bowl. With the mixer on low speed, blend for 30 seconds. Add the butter and 1 1/4 cup of the buttermilk. Mix on low speed briefly to blend; then raise the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and the remaining 1/3 cup buttermilk until well blended. Pour one-third of the egg mixture into the cake batter at a time, folding it in completely after each addition. There will be 9 cups of batter; our 3 cups batter into each pan.
4. Bake for 26 to 28 minutes, or until a cake tester or wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Turn the layers out onto wire racks by placing a rack on top of a pan, inverting it, and lifting off the pan. Peel off the paper liners and let cool completely. When the layers have cooled, place a cardboard cake board on top of a layer, invert again, and lift off the rack. To make the layers easier to handle, wrap them on their boards completely in plastic, so they dont dry out, and refrigerate them.

Cakeman Raven's Red Velvet I modified into a yellow and lighter cake:
Yellow Cake
Preheat oven to 350
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon table salt
Make sure to use both:
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 c sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk (well shaken)
1 1/2 c. good quality canola or veg. oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix the above together well for a couple minutes. Pour in greased and floured pans and bake until toothpick comes out clean..
Hope you all can try it. For extra cake tenderness, line the pans with parchment(not wax) paper.

Golden Cake
6 cups sifted all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups milk at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 # butter or margarine or 1 1/3 cups margarine with 2/3 cups vegetable shortening
(the margarine is not vegetable spread)
4 cups sugar
8 eggs at room temperature
2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon rind (optional)
Preheat oven to 325. Sift flour with baking powder and salt and set aside. Combine milk and vanilla and set aside. Cream butter until light, add sugar gradually, continue to cream until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in lemon extract (and rind). Add dry ingredients alternately with milk beginning and ending with the dry and adding about one sixth of the total at a time. Beat just until smooth. Spoon into 1 ungreased 13" and 1 ungreased 7" pan lined on the bottom with wax or parchment paper filling no more than half full - this is a high-rising batter. Bake larger layer 60-65 mins until it pulls from the sides of the pan and is springy to the touch. Cool upright in pan on wire rack 10 mins then loosen and invert on rack peel off paper turn right side up and cool thoroughly. If you make 3 batches you get two 13", two 7" and two 10 " layers. Make cupcakes with any leftover batter.
This is from The New Doubleday Cookbook 1975.
Real good cake. And this recipe is not real fussy - can be halved. Excellent.
I hope I got all the recipes and didn't miss anyone.

Thanks I missed AKA_cupcakeshoppes's post! The doc your talking about I think is a google doc... they used it for ummm..... gormet cake flavors (WASC)... a great doc btw!! even for scratch bakers!
If some one has the list I can either transfer all the recipes or make a google doc! Let me know!
well nevermind then!! looks like we were posting at the same time!!
I tried to go onto Toba Garrett's Website to post her "Ultimate Yellow Cake" recipe but it would not allow me access.
Question about Ceshell's Not So Lemon Lemon Cake from Magnolia Bakery! In the recipe it calls for self rising cake flour. I have never seen this. I would like to try this, but I know I won't be able to get a hold of that.

To make self-rising flour:
For EACH cup of self-rising flour, sift together 2 or 3 times the following: 1 cup flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

I also suggested Serious_Cake's yellow cake recipe from her youtube videos, but I understand if this was vetoed because of the shortening or something, whereas the others are butter-based.
I'm excited to begin! Hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow.

Well the Cake Man recipe calls for oil and I am choosing it as one of my recipes to try. So I don't think anyone was prejudice against the shortening. I think your entry may have just been overlooked. If I remember right you didn't post a link or recipe right, just a name?
I would like to see more varied recipes like a shortening base. It seems like we have a lot of 1-2-3-4 based ones. It would be neat to have different methods like Billy's cupcakes or Cook's Illustrated where you add the fat to the dry first then add the liquids.
But, this is our first scratch off I am sure we will learn and tweak as we go along.
yeah some of the recipes are almost alike. i do know that the mermaid bakery and paula deen's are similar. i have tried the sky high cake which is basically one bowl it was good but turned out very dense. so am gonna try recipes that i haven't tried before.
i'll do the cakeman recipe.
I use cakeman's recipe for my red velvet and its awesome. I'm assuming that it would have the same texture without the cocoa or red coloring, so it's probably really good
So here's a name only list, which will be updated regularly, to show who's doing which cake, and if any are left out. For the recipes, we can go to Lita's post on page 1.

So thats 13
Are we including the White on White too? I thought we were going to do the white's in another month?
I have made Serious_Cake's recipe about a trillion times so of course I will comment on that. I love that recipe and it is currently my go-to. We'll see if any of these can sway me! lol.
I plan on trying The All-Occasion Downy Yellow Cake and either Toba Garett's or K8Memphi's Golden cake.
I apologize, Hellojana, it was an oversight. I looked over the initial thread several time to try to avoid missing someone's entry...I guess my eyes are getting old, too .
Here is the Serious Cakes recipe, submitted by HelloJana:
If if didn't post correctly, the video along with the ingredient list is on YouTube.
Yes, so there are 14 recipes.........right? Thirteen in the first-mentioned group, polus the serious_cakes recipe on youtube!
I like that we now have at least one cake each using butter, oil, and shortening. Gives people many options......
Yes...there are 14 recipes, the initial list plus Toba Garett's Ultimate Yellow Cake and Serious Cakes Yellow Cake
Can someone post Toba Garrett's recipe? I can't seem to get through to her page.
Toba's is on epicurious . com under "Moist Yellow Cake". I will try to post a link.......
edited to add.....here it is
Darlita, Do you mind going back and editing your post on page one to add the 2 links.....to serious cakes and the Toba cake? It would be less confusing that way.......if they are all in the one post. Then lost baker could add those two to her "name list" as well....and then we'd be all caught up???!!.....OH, it's a different one that lost baker is missing. Well, anyway....you get the idea.
So here's a name only list, which will be updated regularly, to show who's doing which cake, and if any are left out. For the recipes, we can go to Lita's post on page 1.
Are we including the White on White too? I thought we were going to do the white's in another month?
Lostbaker........I think we had decided to go ahead and include it, .....since it has 3 sticks of butter in it it comes out kind of yellow?
I am baking it anyway, independent of the bake-off, so I can comment on it too.
OK, here is what I'm doing:
Great American Cakes by Barbara Kafka
Sylvia Weinstock's Classic Yellow Cake Recipe
Vanilla Buttermilk Recipe from Sky High
Oh, and I'm also baking:
White on White Buttermilk Cake for a cake order.....so I can comment on that
If I have time at the end of the month, I may add......
Cakeman Raven's Modified Red Velvet
Serious_Cakes Yellow Cake
I've been following these 2 threads from the beginning and am excited to try out some new recipes and to hear feedback from people on other recipes - thanks for putting this all together!
so... forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question...
Are you saying that you need to "register" to participate? I can't guarantee that I'll have time to try at least 2 cakes, so I'm hesitant to do that. But what if I can? Can I post my "results" even if I haven't "registered" in the beginning?

Many top private companies are far afield from oil
A diverse group of businesses thriving with Houston's general prosperity
Click here to see the data on Houston-area private companies.
Most of Houston's top private companies grew last year.
The Chronicle's list of the largest privately held companies headquartered in the Houston area includes 93 companies with annual revenues of at least $70 million in 2012. The majority of them saw revenues rise last year.
The list, though somewhat limited because private companies are not required to disclose financial information, represents a diverse group of thriving businesses that have established themselves as a vibrant part of the city's economic core in many industries - from energy and transportation to entertainment, construction and consumer services.
"No one sector dominates the list of companies," said Patrick Jankowski, vice president of research at the Greater Houston Partnership. "When you look at most of them, their revenues have gone up. They are benefiting from the general prosperity of the Houston economy."
Only a third of the list is made up of energy and energy-related services. Some of the companies generate enough revenue that they, if publicly traded, would make the Fortune 500 list.
A perennial leader
Gulf States Toyota topped the list for the fourth time in the history of the survey, and for the second consecutive year since the economic downturn. The auto distributor ranked No. 1 in 2012, 2006 and 2005. Other companies that made gains and ranked in the top 10 were Grocers Supply Co., S&B Engineers and Constructors, Landry's and Academy Sports & Outdoors.
"The companies are fairly substantial, with economic weight and power," Jankowski said. "Houston is often criticized that we are just oil, but you look at the list - consumer services, software, restaurants, transportation and homebuilding - the diversity of the list reflects Houston's economy."
Long histories
Jankowski said private businesses have been doing well since the end of 2011. More than two-thirds of the companies have been around for more than 15 years, and many are a longtime presence in the community. Tellepsen, which provides construction management and contracting services for commercial and industrial projects, was founded in 1909 and is the oldest company on the list. In more than 100 years, the company helped build Houston's landscape, including the Miller Outdoor Theatre; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; St. Luke's Hospital; and the renovation of Lakewood Church.
Williams Brothers Construction, started in 1955, also has been an integral part of how the city developed, with a hand in major transportation projects in the city.
"This many around for such a long time is heartening," Jankowski said. "It reflects the strength and shows they are still able to compete with large public companies."
The state added 326,100 jobs from April 2012 to April 2013, the Texas Workforce Commission has reported.
Construction's climb
An important story for Houston's economy appears to be the growing construction and homebuilding industries. Such business stalled several years ago with the economic slowdown. But now the Workforce Commission reports that construction has been the state's fastest-growing major industry, with a 7.1 percent annual growth rate statewide. Likewise, homebuilding and construction companies made gains on the Chronicle list.
John Miller, president of Glazier Foods Co., which made its debut on the list last year, said the distribution company opened a facility in the Dallas area this year. Companies related to grocers and consumer services made an impact on the list.
"We haven't experienced any ill effects related to the economy," Miller said. "We are just kind of staying the course, nothing dramatically different."
Another testimony to growth in Houston industries is an increase in revenue for the major beer distribution centers based in Houston.
Houston's three largest beer distribution companies - Silver Eagle Distributors, Faust Distributing and Houston Distributing - brought in a combined $1.3 billion in revenue.
Charming Charlie
New to the list this year is fashion accessory retailer Charming Charlie at No. 42. The company opened its first store on Harwin in 2004 and has grown to more than 250 stores across 32 states with approximately 5,000 employees. The chain last year had $370 million in revenue.
"Our broad assortment and affordable price points (we like to call them everyday indulgences) allow us to thrive regardless of the macroeconomic environment or uncertainty," CEO and founder Charlie Chanaratsopon said. "With that said, we've seen changes in consumer behavior and sales strongly correlated to things within our control - our product assortment and in-store experience."

Zigic made the £6million move from Valencia to Blues during the summer transfer window.
He has so far struggled to command a regular first-team spot although he did net his first Barclays Premier League goal last weekend against Arsenal in a rare start.
But the Serbia international has laughed off claims that he will be ready to leave City after only a few months and he said:
"I was aware of the speculation about Sporting Lisbon and I found it quite amusing."
He continued: "But really I am a Birmingham player. I enjoy being here. I am certainly going to try my best for the club and something I want to do is progress my career here.
"You always get some speculation from other clubs and what have you.
"But I am a Birmingham player, I signed a contract in the summer, I enjoy playing with the boys, we are a good squad and I'm more than happy being here."
Zigic has found it difficult adjusting to the different style of the Premier League compared to the technical football in Spain.
He said: "Because of my height, the ball does come up to me to knock on.
"But I am a bit more of a technical player than people give me credit for. I do like the ball into my feet."
Zigic is set to retain his place for Saturday's home clash with Blackpool especially as last season's top scorer, Cameron Jerome, is still doubtful with an ankle problem.

If he is unstable, then it becomes a real problem - because nowadays nobody wants to ban a disabled person from doing things - but there seems a case to do it if he is spoiling the hobby for everyone. Would OFCOM restrict or remove his license? I doubt it somehow unless he starts to do it without being set off by somebody else.
Clearly his behaviour is unacceptable - but it needs courage to tackle it. Maybe the job for the chairman of the local ham radio club, or even the repeater keeper - who is of course responsible for the material they have 'published' via their system. Tough job to solve.

Depressed? Help Is Here.
The Catholic Guide to Depression
How the Saints, the Sacraments and Psychiatry Can Help You Break Its Grip and Find Happiness Again
By Aaron Kheriaty, M.D., with Father John Cihak
Sophia Institute Press, 2012
288 pages, $19.95
To order: sophiainstitute.com
It is highly unlikely that anyone reading this review has been untouched by clinical depression, either as one who has suffered from it or as one who knows others who have.
Dr. Aaron Kheriaty (with Father John Cihak) has written a book to address clinical depression from a perspective that fully acknowledges both its biological and spiritual dimensions.
The Catholic Guide to Depression: How the Saints, the Sacraments and Psychiatry Can Help You Break Its Grip and Find Happiness Again, published by Sophia Institute Press, is, as far as I know, the only book of its kind from a Catholic point of view.
This book provides a full explanation of the illness and current treatments, along with sound advice on how spiritual methods of prayer and the sacraments can assist the standard pharmacological and cognitive treatments.
The first part provides a detailed explanation of types and causes of depression and related disorders, their relation to the spiritual life and the tragedy of suicide. The second part moves on to modes of treatment, with chapters on medication and other biological treatments, psychotherapy, spiritual help for depression, and Divine filiation and hope.
In the foreword, David Franks writes:
"No dramatic aspect of life, and certainly not depression, can be adequately accounted for without the Christian revelation of Christ. … There is a powerful spiritual reality at play, but the insinuation the sufferer is somehow at fault gets things exactly backward; it is the innocence of the depressed one that is the key. This book descends into crucial details about mental illness, but even more impressively descends into the mystery of this, as of all, suffering."
In speaking to a gathering of psychiatrists, John Paul II offered an explanation of the connection between psychiatry or psychology and religion:
"By its very nature, your work often brings you to the threshold of human mystery. It involves sensitivity to the tangled workings of the human mind and heart and openness to the ultimate concerns that give meaning to people's lives. ... The confessional is not and cannot be an alternative to the psychotherapist's or psychiatrist's office, nor can one expect the sacrament of penance to heal truly pathological conditions."
In a particularly helpful chapter near the end of the book — "Divine Filiation and the Virtue of Hope" — Blessed John Paul is quoted again:
"Christ took all human suffering on himself, even mental illness. ... Yes, even this affliction, which perhaps seems the most absurd and incomprehensible, configures the sick person to Christ and gives him a share in the redeeming Passion."
The book includes sources for further readings from Catholic authors well-known to Register readers and other Catholic mental-health specialists, such as Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons and Paul Vitz.
This is not a book you take with you on vacation as light reading, but it should be in every Catholic home.
Depression is rampant in our country, for a variety of reasons that the author touches upon in the book. Let us place our hope in the Lord and his merciful Mother, while also taking advantage of the medical help that is available.
Father C. J. McCloskey III is a Church historian and research fellow

Classic cars: Land one that 'just feel right'
I get to drive a lot of classic cars, and one of the things that never ceases to amaze me is how few of them "just feel right." There is absolutely no relationship to how much money may have been spent on a restoration—or how little, for that matter.
I'll occasionally have a conversation about this subject with colleagues or friends, and they know what I'm talking about. But most people simply don't understand.
This most often happens when I'm inspecting a car for a prospective buyer. I'll give the client a written report extolling the virtues of the subject car. Pages and pages of how the car was taken off of the frame and every single suspension part replaced, whether it needed to be or not. The acres of flawless leather upholstery, and the paint that is literally flawless. I'll usually continue with a description of all the documents and receipts for the parts and labor, which will often exceed the cost of a new home.
Ultimately I get to the part where I give my opinion as to how the car feels when you drive it, which is something very subjective indeed. And very often I have to end my report by stating that this expensive masterpiece of a restoration, something that is cosmetically and mechanically far better than new, "just does not feel right." Naturally when my customer receives the report, the first response is "How can this be?" And the truth is, I have no answer. I explain that I don't mean to imply that the car doesn't drive well, or handle well, or steer well, or stop well. In most cases it does. But still, it just does not feel right. I suppose that what I'm trying to say is that it does not feel the way that it did when it was new.
This brings me to my next point. How do I know what it felt like when it was new? I came of age during the time that many cars that are now considered collectible were new or nearly so. I also seek out and collect "survivors."
Although this term is bandied about to include just about anything that is not restored, including junk, my definition is a bit more discerning. I believe that a survivor must be in excellent, unrestored, original condition, including drive train, paint and interior. But I go one step further. It must have very low mileage, usually not more than 20,000. This last criterion is what makes it possible for the car to not only look right, but also feel right. In effect, what I look for is what would have been advertised as a "low mileage used car in excellent condition" 40, or 50 or 60 years ago.
As it turns out, I'm not the only one who appreciates this virtue. Survivors are one of the hottest segments of the collector car market. When you ask someone why they collect survivors, the number one answer is "they just feel right." The number two answer is usually something along the lines of "they're only original once."
Survivors are in tremendous demand, sometimes with equally tremendous premiums. I find it interesting that the attribute that makes them so desirable is virtually unquantifiable. How do you define "just feels right"? I think it means that the car feels the way that it did when it was new. No better. No worse.
Worse is very easy to achieve. It can be accomplished by ham-fisted mechanics, ordinary wear and tear, and the use of improper or inferior parts.
Better is also easy to achieve, thanks to talented mechanics as well as parts and materials that are superior to those that were available when the car was new. It is very difficult to achieve that "just right" feeling, and that is why collectors are willing to pay a premium for a survivor.
That is not to say that "it just feels right" can't be achieved.. There are restoration shops across the country, and around the world - usually marque specialists that have spent decades learning how to make cars "just feel right."
The wait to get a car into one of these shops will often be measured in years, and you should be prepared to have an open checkbook. You would be surprised how many cars that "just feel right" were restored in a collectors' garage. The amount of time and love that these experts have lavished on cars cannot be translated into dollars, but they can sometimes be translated into the way driving a car feels.
Occasionally I'll see a collector walk away from purchasing a concours-quality restoration. I'll ask why, and the collector will respond "it just didn't feel right." That impresses me.

The Cat in the Hat Turns a Nifty Fifty
A long time ago, lived a man who was Ted,
His books were as silly as a polka-dot moose
The children all thought that his books were quite nifty,
There's plenty of parties, for both Ted and his Cat
Fifty years ago when Theodor Geisel, or Dr. Seuss as you probably know him, teamed up with Random House to publish The Cat in the Hat they didn't expect the book to be still popular today. Children's books rarely become collectable. The lifespan of a children's book is usually closer to five years rather than 50, however today The Cat in the Hat is hotter than ever.
His books were more fun, not boring and thick.
The Cat in the Hat was considered revolutionary at its time of writing because it was one of the first children's books to break the dull Dick-and-Jane-style of beginner readers. The Cat in the Hat taught kids that reading could actually be fun. Today literary critics have described the book as an incredible feat of skill owing to the fact that the total story (1626 words) includes only 236 unique words, all pre-selected by the publisher for their ease of reading by youngsters. Of these words 54 occur exactly once and 33 occur twice. All the while the story maintains the strict triple meter rhyme scheme common to many Seuss stories. All of this took Geisel nine months to complete.
How would you know their value when old,
According to Helen Younger of Aleph-Bet Books in New York, specialists in rare and collectable children's and illustrated books since 1977, The Cat in the Hat is "right up there" as one of the most sought after children's titles of all time. "I've seen a fine first edition in dust wrapper, signed with a drawing by Seuss, sell for $12,500." If you wanted to pick up a first edition right now they run all the way up to £8,500
It's hard to tell if Ted's books are a first,
"It can be quite difficult to determine first editions of Dr. Seuss books. Over the course of our careers we have seen many books described as first editions that weren't firsts at all." To solve this problem Aleph-Bet published a book in 2002 entitled First Editions of Dr. Seuss Books: A Guide to Identification. The book is fully illustrated in color and limited to 1000 copies.
What can I do if I don't have The Cat,
The Cat in the Hat is not the only sought after title by Dr. Seuss. "All of the books are collectable," says Younger. While The Cat in the Hat is considered Seuss' breakthrough work it was by no means his first, and definitely not the only collectable title. His first book And to Think that I saw it on Mulberry Street (1937) as well as other notables Horton Hears a Who (1954), If I Ran the Zoo (1956), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957), were all among books published before The Cat in The Hat and all come with hefty price tags. Right now on AbeBooks you can find copies of Mulberry Street for up to £7,834 or rare first editions of The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins (1938) for £4,908. For books that came after The Cat in the Hat, Dr.Seuss' best selling title of all time is Green Eggs and Ham (1960), which comes in at £2,598 for a first edition.
Did Seuss only write books that were for kids?
Theodor Geisel wrote under his own name, as well as the pseudonyms Dr. Seuss and Theo LeSieg (Geisel spelled backwards). Not all of his works were intended for children. Geisel penned many books with more adult oriented topics including his satire of the inefficiency of clinics and retirement homes, You're Only Old Once as well as The Seven Lady Godivas and Oh The Places You'll Go! He was also heavily involved with creating political cartoons during WWII and actually joined the army in 1943 as commander of the Animation Dept. of the First Motion Picture Unit. His wartime cartoons can be seen in the 2001 compilation book Dr. Seuss Goes to War.

Awesome cheese and meat dishes that i love to read about. Thanks Dave Anderson for doing it before everyone else,.. it before 2010!!!
Oh g quarrygirl is here. You were ranting against Muma on Melrose for stealing a popular restaurant's menu. They have since changed their menu and sell meat so you smelled it right and smelled it early.
Found your website through an article about the baby cow in West Hollywood. I am not 100% vegan but am getting there. None of my friends or family are vegan or even vegetarian but some are eating less meat because of me. It is the same as a smoker trying to quit. Thanks for the restaurant tip I will try it when in the valley.
