Coppélia Creative Dance Project for Years 1-3, Salford and Birmingham
During the 2011 summer term, we delivered a series of workshops, based on Birmingham Royal Ballet's Coppélia. The workshops for Year 1-3 pupils were structured around the schools timetable, usually three practical dance workshops per day with a maximum of 30 pupils in each.
Delivered by Jenny Murphy, accompanied by Helen Watkinson, or by Colin Sangster, accompanied by Andrew Kristy, each workshop gave an insight into the ballets themes, familiarising the groups with the ballet's story, steps and mime, as well as the performance skills needed by professional dancers.
Additional learning outcomes included
Teachers were also invited to attend twilight teacher training workshops, giving them the opportunity to meet the artists, experience the workshop, discuss the objectives of the workshops, so they can be tailored to the needs of the school and pupils, and receive practical ideas on how to develop the work further.
Schools were encouraged to bring the pupils to see a performance. Schools ticket deals are available for matinee performances. Attendance at a performance is an important learning experience, enabling the pupils to see what they have learnt performed by professional dancers to a full orchestra. A once in a lifetime opportunity for many children.
'I had been to a previous training session at Birmingham Royal Ballet and found it very useful indeed. I learned a huge amount and had fun. It helped me to prepare the children for the workshop and to understand how to use the experience to feed into other parts of the curriculum.' Teacher's experience of the twilight training
'One boy said this morning that he didn't want to take part. Not only did he take part, he was the star performer in the class which was nice to see.' Deputy Head Teacher
'Movement is important in every day life. It's good to get fit and raise the heartbeat, it is also great for control.' Teaching Assistant
'They learnt some good disciplines, listening, watching, which allowed them to express themselves in a new way. There was also the element of team work.' Teacher
'I was worried in case I got something wrong, but I didn't because I was concentrating.' Pupil

Two Hartnell College Students Awarded Scholarships from Art Unlimited Organization
August 27, 2002
Two Hartnell College students have been awarded $500 scholarships from Art Unlimited, a group of distinguished Monterey County artists who have served the community for more than 30 years.
The awardees are Fang-Mei Durham of Gonzales and Yadhira Perez of Salinas. Both are currently enrolled art majors at Hartnell.
Durham was an accountant in Taiwan before coming to the United States in 1998. She enrolled at Hartnell in 1999 and discovered her abilities in computer technology and fine arts. Once she receives her associate of arts degree in multimedia and photography from Hartnell, Durham plans to transfer to a University of California campus for her bachelor's degree.
Perez, the other scholarship recipient, discovered an interest in art when she was in third grade and later won honors for her artwork in high school. Now a student at Hartnell, Perez says "art releases me from the stress of everyday life and gives me a chance to express myself." She plans to become an art teacher.
Art Unlimited awards scholarships to Hartnell students on an annual basis, according to Ann Cunningham, the organization's president. The scholarships are based on a student's artwork, academic promise and financial need.
Funds for the scholarships come from the organization's sales and rental of members' artwork, which includes all media.
For more information, contact Betty Binsacca, Hartnell scholarship assistant, (831) 755-6811.

By Kelsea Stahler, Hollywood.com Staff
When summer ended, the seasons skipped a beat and went straight onto winter for fans of American Idol. The show we came to love over 11 seasons was swathed in bitterness, changed by the catty fight between new judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey and stoked by the words of one Steven Tyler.
In both cases, Minaj was the one escalating the situation, taking to Twitter to disparage her fellow Idol judge and make claims that Tyler was "racist." Now, the powers that be at Idol are doing a little damage control, making sure fans know that while there may be fireworks outside of the show, when it comes time to hit the television, Idol is still all about the contestants.
"No one's ever going to touch American Idol. No one's going to come close," says Minaj as a soundtrack of twinkly, hopeful music drifts through the background. She's here to help "mold that journey" and "give people who wouldn't normally have that chance a dream." It's a whole new Nicki, and worlds apart from her angry ranting fit after Tyler claimed she wouldn't know a talent like Bob Dylan if he was standing in front of her.
And while these stories of fights and bickering have been gobbled up in the media like holiday candy, they bring a strange tone to the original singing competition in a landscape filled with relatively strong competitors like The Voice (who will face off against Idol with its own new set of celebrity judges in January) and The X Factor. Idol has long been the show that focuses on the voices on stage, with the outspoken judges there to add one thing: a side show.
Minaj's constant conflicts have become worrisome, but with this promo, it's clear that Fox is at least committed to selling us the hopeful message we've always sought from Idol.
Of course, we'll have to wait until January to see if Minaj can keep it in check and make good on this promise.

J-School to Grad School?
I am a planner. I plan every little detail. Some of my friends call me obsessive compulsive, endearingly of course. Others simply call me "hysterica", and it is true if I can't plan sometimes I become hysterical.
This quirky personality trait has come in handy various times throughout my life and now it becomes almost necessary as I plan for my future. I have recently decided that I will be attending graduate school. This decision means a lot of things, for one it means I need to work on raising my GPA. But more importantly it means I have to start searching for a school.
For almost a year now I have been contemplating this choice, and even more intensely since the creation of this blog. Law school, business school, and journalism school: all options I looked at. Much to my mother's dismay I have decided to peruse a graduate degree in journalism upon my graduation from the University of Florida in May 2015.
There are many reasons I picked this route but the main reason is that I am not sure exactly what my job will be for the rest of my life. I know I will always be involved with journalism and I am absolutely planning on being a reporter for a large chunk of my career but if one day I wake up and want to be an editor I would like to be able to do that.
It is not that I feel unsure about the future of print journalism, I feel unsure about my future more. My first year in college broadened my horizons greatly and I can no longer say that I am only interested in journalism. I am now interested in social media, sports, education, radio, advertising, photography, web development and much more. I am sure this will continue to grow as the years pass.
Right now I am exploring the University of Miami's Masters of Arts program in Multimedia Journalism.
To those of you who are making this decision as well I offer three peices of advice:
1. Decide early, the last thing you want is to miss this opportunity for higher education.
2. If you have chosen to go to graduate school browse through realistic options. I am looking at options close to home because I know living at home will help me finance the expensive cost of graduate school.
3. Plan it out. Look at the requirements for admission and plan accordingly. Take your GRE in-time. Raise your GPA. Send in your application early. Secure those stellar recommendation letters as soon as possible. You have been here before, think back to high school. Applying to college is a lot of work so be organized.
This isn't the last of my blog. I definitely will change my mind a few times in the next three years and when I do I will come back to this blog to help me research and work through my choice. I hope you do the same.
Reporter was named as the 5th worst job of 2012 recently. This has caused a lot of reflection among professionals in the business, journalism students and myself as well.
The realities of a career in the newspaper business are grim and not to be ignored. With a negative 4.75 hiring prospect, being a working reporter seems like more of a dream then a reality. The truth is most people will not end up working in the field of journalism even if they studied it.
That is why I feel it is so important to look at other options for after graduating from journalism school. I'm absolutely not encouraging anyone away from the field, I love journalism and could not imagine working in any other field. But there are still ways to work as a journalist and not be a traditional newspaper reporter, and I believe it is those options that are worth exploring now or even in graduate school because those will be the new journalism jobs.
There are few—if any—graduate school journalism programs that I feel are really worth it coming from a journalism undergraduate program, but Columbia is worth it in any case.
There is a reason that Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism has consistently been ranked among the top, if not the No. 1 school for post-undergraduate journalism studies: their graduates are extremely successful.
Many factors contribute to CU's success. The school is in a great location. New York City is a huge hub of international news and a major media market that houses some of the best internships in the county; internships that CU journalism students are close to.
Another perk that sets CU's program apart is a long list of distinguished alumni. The school was originally constructed with funds that Joseph Pulitzer had left the university in his will. The journalism school to this day is the distributer of the highly coveted Pulitzer Prizes, what more incentive could an ambitious journalist need?
With past graduates like Steve Kroft of 60 minutes and Andrea Elliot of the New York Times CU offers its students more than just a strong journalism education, they offer a network of past graduates who hold some of the most powerful potions in the journalism world.
Lastly CU's staff is top tier, offering another round of possible connections for students and of course a priceless resource for students. Nicholas Lemann, dean and professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, is an established journalist in his own right, like many other faculty members.
Lemann has contributed to the Washington Post, the Atlantic Monthly, the New Yorker, and the Washington Monthly.
That being said getting into CU isn't particularly easy but if you can manage it there is no doubt as to whether it's worth it or not.
CU offers a master of science or arts in communications as well as a doctorate of philosophy in communications. For more information visit their website http://www.journalism.columbia.edu/home.

Ghostbusters (1984)
When Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) and his Columbia University colleagues (Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson) are kicked out of their prestigious academic posts, they start a private practice as professional ghost-catchers. Although things do not start auspiciously for the three parascientists, their television advertisements finally pay off when beautiful Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) contracts them. It seems her apartment has become the entryway for ghastly ghosts and goofy ghouls hellbent on terrorising New York City.
New York Public Library
The New York Public Library (NYPL) is one of the leading public libraries of the world and is one of the United States's most significant research libraries. It is composed of a very large circulating public library system combined with a very large non-lending research library system. It is simultaneously one of the largest public library systems in the United States and one of the largest research library systems in the world. It is a privately managed, nonprofit corporation with a public mission, operating with both private and public financing.
The NYPL has frequently appeared in feature films. It serves as the backdrop for a central plot development in the 2002 film Spider-Man and a major location in the 2004 apocalyptic science fiction film The Day After Tomorrow. In the 1978 film, The Wiz, Dorothy and Toto stumble across the Library and one of the Library Lions comes alive and joins them on their journey out of Oz. It is also featured prominently in the 1984 film Ghostbusters with three of the titular protagonists encounter the ghost of a librarian named Eleanor Twitty, who becomes violent when approached. Her origins and the Library's prominent standing are explored in the video game sequel, Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Other films in which the library appears include 42nd Street (1933), Portrait of Jennie (1948), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), You're a Big Boy Now (1966), Chapter Two (1979), Escape from New York (1981), Regarding Henry (1991), The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), The Time Machine (2002), and Sex and the City (2008) .

A word from The Mermaid Oyster Bar
Upon entering Mermaid Oyster Bar, diners feel as though they have escaped the city on a beach vacation. Offering delicious food in a welcoming atmosphere, patrons can enjoy a relaxing and leisurely dining experience away from the hustle & bustle of busy New York City streets. Bringing a bite of the beach to the West Village, this casual neighborhood spot combines a laid-back fish shack mentality with a menu that reads like an oyster bar's greatest hits: an extensive raw bar; clam shack favorites like steamers, mussels and fried oysters; and a variety of simply prepared whole fish and fish sandwiches. The cocktails and beers on tap and the rollicking classic rock-country playlist evoke the nostalgia of summer on every visit.Continued

- Mermaid is fun.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/30/2014Mermaid has really good food and is a fun place to eat it. The pasta with clam sauce is a little pricey, but worth every penny: it's among the best I've eaten. People seem to enjoy themselves so much that it can be kind of noisy, but the din in the back room is manageable.
- Fantastic oysters and lobsterSandyDined on 9/28/2014This is the second time we've visited the restaurant. Like the previous time, great atmosphere, friendly service and amazing food. It was Sunday and they had the Lobsterpalooza for $26. Two of us had them and we were not disappointed at all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and friendlyFoodTravelerDined on 9/26/2014Loved the calamari. All our food was great and the staff was very accommodating. Good range of seafood and great cocktails.Special Features:
- Happiest of Happy HoursnomnomVIPDined on 9/21/2014The Mermaid inn advertises their happy hour as the Happiest of Happy Hours and they're absolutely correct. The waitress we had, Dillan, was amazing. She was attentive and very sweet overall. I always have this place in mind when planning to take someone out for oysters.Special Features:
- Happy Hour StealsEasyTraveller123Dined on 9/18/2014The Mermaid Inn's happy hours are a steal--raw oysters at $1. Excellent tomato and watermelon salad. Service was pleasant, helpful and quick. This is where to eat when going to Film Forum.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent seafoodStage5EaterDined on 9/13/2014Service was great, oysters were outstanding. Also got the Old Bay fries because we saw another table fighting over them...yum!

- Need 2 come back w/diffnt serverILoveToEat2Dined on 8/31/2014Ive been waiting to come to Lobsterpalooza all summer long and finally made it with a close friend visiting from out of town. The lobster was good but our server was terrible. He was snarky from the get go, we immediately ordered our Lobster to start and he acted so annoyed having to take our order and gave us a terrible annoyed attitude the whole time. We were excited to try the lobster (which we stated as a starter) and planned to order more food and try a few entrees, but he never followed up with us to take our order until we were completely finished with the meal. Also when he dropped off our food we had no crackers or proper flatware to dig and we had to flag him down to tell him.Special Features:
- Nice PlacefriedoysterDined on 8/25/2014feels small, secret, warm with great food....and just noisy enough. love the ambience, wouldn't change a thing except the menus are hard to read in dim light....beef up the type.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great happy hourPeteeatsthingsDined on 8/22/2014I have been to the one in upper west side and both are fantastic. The oysters are clean tasting and the cocktails are a little on the weak-side but enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always greatnycfoodieDined on 8/5/2014Always love the good ole mermaid inn, although the east village has got to be my favorite location with the outdoor seating and more room. They are all very similar with service, vibes & food.Special Features:
- Great Monday All Night Happy HourltappDined on 7/28/2014A great spot for a Monday night happy hour. The food is delish, I go pretty much every Monday without fail because their happy hour food menu is the best: oysters, shrimp sliders, calamari... I could go on and on. The main room is definitely a better seating choice and have better servers for sure.Special Features:
- First time dinerOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/19/2014Went here on a Saturday around 5 30 pm to grab some food before a movie at the IFC. The place was busy but I was welcome with a warm greeting and my table was ready. The sever we had was very knowledgable but seems a bit busy, looked like e was handle the whole Back section himself. We never felt unattended, in fact the food timing was just right and the we ha a great recommendation for the wine. Cite little pot de creme chocolate pudding was given as a compliment to end the meal. Cool vibe, good service, great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Charming....in every way!Em270Dined on 7/13/2014Mermaid Oyster Bar came highly recommended and truly lived up to its charm! The space is well designed with soft mood lighting and table candles making for a welcome aura. The bar delights with unique cocktails. The food... delicious for our warm summer night! We ordered a platter of oysters (Kusshi, Beausoleil and Montauk - perfect trio), lobster and corn fritters w/ maple truffle honey (tasty) and the yellowfin tuna tartar tacos (lively on the palate). I must add a very special thank you to the waitstaff for their friendliness and professionalism. This is why we return for vacations to NYC. My sister and I look forward to our next trip to the Village, enjoying the charms of this darling gem on 79 MacDougal!!Special Features:
- Great seafood!Stylin80Dined on 7/11/2014I have been wanting to come for here for over 9 months now and I finally visitied on Friday night, I was not disappointed. We sat out the back so the noise was quite low and we could have a decent conversation. Food: Fish Taco's, Kale Caeser Salad, Tuna Crudo were all very good and the quality outstanding. Service: Attentive and not intrusive. We took our time as we were talking a fair bit and were not rushed at all. Price: Perfect. Highly recommend and will definitely be back here. It's good for a fiend catch up or a date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- TerrificBarrios334Dined on 6/28/2014I've always loved the Mermaid Inn's East Village restaurant, and it's good to see them continuing their form at the McDougal St location. The food is terrific, we ate tapas-style with lots of small dishes, all of which were great. The lobster and corn fritters were amazing, as were the fish tacos, and of course the oysters were first rate. Service was also excellent and very friendly. I'll be back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreekGodVIPDined on 6/28/2014Great for happy hour - especially the drinks and $1 oysters.Special Features:
- Great lobster special! Cute place!CKNYCDined on 6/22/2014Made reservations and walked over with a friend - it's a perfect, cool, little neighborhood joint with a great casual vibe. Small booths and hi-2-tops, small patio seating in the front. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful, bartender adorable. The oysters were small but fabulous, and the special was a Lobster dinner - amazing! 1.25 lb lobster with corn on cob, cole slaw and potatoes for $26. It was delicious - the only drawback is they only cut the tail open and don't give you anything to clean your hands with... That said, I'd come back in a heartbeat! It's a perfect spot and I hope it doesn't get too crowded over the summer.Special Features:
- the "almost famous" lobster rollhealthyourselfVIPDined on 6/18/2014I love ice cold fresh oysters and a tasty lobster roll with a glass of creamy chardonnay...nice dinner for a hot summer night !Special Features:
- Fresh but limitedLovelyDined on 6/15/2014We ordered the grilled octopus, jonah crab cakes, kale caesar salad, fish tacos, yellow fin tuna, hush puppies and fried green tomatoes. Hush puppies and fried green tomatoes a disappointment-very bland. Hush puppies had lumps of ?? scallop or butter chunks and had very little taste. Other dishes were excellent; Jonah crab cake had large chinks of crab, little filling which is rare to find.. Chocolate pudding is only dessert.There are other simple options to offer. e.g. gelato easy to accomplish with so many gelato establishments in the area.Ambience is very loud as mentioned by many others-very difficult to have a conversation without shouting. No air conditioning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great findDrwallDined on 6/14/2014My girlfriend and I were in the area looking for a fish restaurant for a romantic dinner. The Mermaid is small and bustling; the food was excellent, the service was friendly and the noise level wasn't so terrible that you couldn't have a conversation. Everything was delicious and the chocolate pudding at the end was a nice touch. The oysters, lobster roll and fish/shrimp/chicken tacos were all great. Make a reservation, this place is busy!Special Features:
- Always My Go-To Oyster Bar...shwenDined on 6/12/2014My favorite location for oysters and great (sea)food overall. When someone says they want oysters, this is where I always default to, especially with the great happy hour menu (and prices), as well as the great beer on tap. And this location in particular has a great ambiance.Special Features:
- Mermaids & Lobster RollsOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 6/11/2014I finally made it in to this fabulous eatery. I shared the Mermaid Tacos and Lobster Roll with my friend and it was delicious. Already booked to go back in 2 weeks and try other things on the menu!

Alternative Treatments for Diabetes
Treatments for diabetes can include many elements. Conventional treatments in addition to complementary and alternative treatments are available.
Recommended Related to Diabetes
If you're one of the nearly 24 million Americans living with type 2 diabetes, you know your body has difficulty using or producing insulin. What can you do to manage the disease? We asked Jill Crandall, MD, professor of clinical medicine and director of the diabetes clinical trials unit at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, to debunk some myths and help you learn to live well.
Read the Take 5: Diabetes article > >
A health treatment that is not classified as standard Western medical practice is referred to as complementary and alternative medicine. The catagory encompasses a variety of disciplines that include everything from diet and exercise to mental conditioning and lifestyle changes. Examples include acupuncture, guided imagery, chiropractic treatments, yoga, hypnosis, biofeedback, aromatherapy, relaxation, herbal remedies, massage, and many others.
What Alternative Therapies Are Used to Treat Diabetes?
- Chromium has been widely publicized as therapy to improve diabetes control. Although there are several studies that support a role for chromium as beneficial in diabetes, currently there are no recommendations for its use in diabetes management.
- Magnesium has been studied for years as a form of therapy to improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes. A lack of magnesium has been associated with insulin secretion abnormalities and has been associated with diabetes complications.
- Vanadium is derived from plant sources and has been shown in a few studies to increase a person's sensitivity to insulin. Thus far, no recommendations exist for supplementation to be given to people with diabetes.
Plant Foods
The following plant foods have been found to help people with type 2 diabetes.
- Brewer's yeast
- Buckwheat
- Broccoli and other related greens
- Okra
- Peas
- Fenugreek seeds
- Sage
Most plant foods are rich in fiber, which is beneficial for helping control blood sugar levels.
There are no clinical trials with promising results for many of the other herbs being proposed for diabetes, such as garlic, ginger, ginseng, hawthorn, or nettle. If you have diabetes and are considering taking any of these herbal substances, talk to your doctor first.
Alternative Weight Loss Products for Diabetes
Since weight and diabetes are linked, many people with diabetes turn to alternative therapies that claim to help with weight loss, including:
- Chitosan
- Camsogia Garcinia (hydroxycitric acid)
- Chromium
- Pyruvate
- Germander
- Momordica charanta
- Sauropus androgynus
- Aristolochic acid
In addition, transdermal (skin patch) systems as well as oral sprays have been developed to purportedly reduce appetite and facilitate weight loss. One patch system uses homeopathic amounts of 29 different compounds to reduce appetite, but no published literature on its efficacy is available.

Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

The pH Diet and Your Fertility
Making your body a more hospitable environment
Lose the Caffeine
Instead of reaching for a caffeine jolt from coffee or cola, drink some raspberry leaf tea. It is naturally caffeine-free and is one of Mother Nature's gentle hormone balancers. Since there's controversy over the role of caffeine consumption and pregnancy (and beyond that, fertility), staying away from the java may be a good idea anyway.
Take Mom's Advice
OK, who wants to admit that mom was right when she commanded, "Eat your vegetables!" But she was. Make vegetables the focal point of your lunch and dinner meals. Enjoy some delicious mashed sweet potatoes or rich dairy-free guacamole. I share the easiest and fastest recipe for yummy guac in my book, The Ultimate pH Solution: Balance Your Body Chemistry to Prevent Disease and Lose Weight, and even my chocolate mousse recipe features the highly healthy avocado (which technically is a fruit, not a vegetable—but is still highly alkalizing).
Take an Almond Break
Snack on raw, unsalted almonds every few hours. Not only are they loaded with calcium, magnesium, protein and other important nutrients, their high fiber and protein content help to stabilize blood sugar levels, which are critical to alkalizing your body and hormone health.
Lean Green Alkalizing Machines
Leafy greens are powerful alkalizers. Eat at least one large salad per day. Avoid store-bought dressings full of rancid oils, preservatives, additives, and sugar. Try my blueberry dressing from The Ultimate pH Solution—it's fast and delicious: Add 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen), 1/3 cup of raw apple cider vinegar, a pinch of Celtic sea salt, and 6 drops of stevia or a 1/2 teaspoon of unpasteurized honey to a wide-mouth jar. Blend with a hand blender or cover with the lid and shake the container well. Pour over a plate of greens or grated veggies. Store the remaining dressing in the fridge.
Enjoy, and be healthy!

New store offers consignment for online auctions
Odz & Enz Shoppes offers vintage and secondhand items but puts a new spin on consignment by hosting items on online auctions.
The storefront, located just south of Pine River on Highway 371, was completely buried by snow drifts this past winter, but owners Allen Wynn and Cindy Spartz were hosting their business in the windowless back of the building at the time, so the windows were not needed then. They opened the front show room two months ago.

"I've been out of work for over a year, so I have to catch up on everything," the 39-year-old Reservoir Hill woman said last week.
The number of people working in Baltimore has dropped for the past two decades, as manufacturing plants have shut their doors and other businesses have left for surrounding counties. And while new shops and offices have opened in the neighborhoods around the Inner Harbor, residents of outlying communities say their neighborhoods are stagnating or worse.
As Baltimore's mayoral candidates present their economic development credentials and plans, economists warn that Baltimore stands at a crossroads: The city must draw new businesses and boost job opportunities or face continued population loss, declining property values and more crime.
"In many ways, the city is its worst enemy," said Anirban Basu, chairman and chief executive officer of the Sage Policy Group, a Baltimore economic consulting firm. "As Towson and Columbia become more dense, they become much more relevant as urban competitors to Baltimore City. So the clock is ticking. The city needs to get this right soon."
Since Stephanie Rawlings-Blake became mayor in February 2010, she has pushed for large — and often controversial — projects. Her economic development team has focused in recent months on the Baltimore Grand Prix and the planned slots casino, while pushing for progress on West Baltimore's Superblock and State Center developments.
"One of the reasons I support major events is to create jobs," she said. "We have to focus on the city's areas of strength — health care, biotech, life sciences."
Rawlings-Blake says that she is streamlining government agencies to make "doing business with the city predictable" and supporting school programs that prepare young people to work in fields that are growing.
But Rawlings-Blake's challengers in the Sept. 13 Democratic primary, who include former city planning director Otis Rolley, state Sen. Catherine E. Pugh, former Greater Baltimore Board of Realtors Vice President Joseph T. "Jody" Landers and Clerk of Court Frank M. Conaway Sr., say the city needs to forge a new path.
Rolley says he has a five-pronged plan to increase business that includes teaming up with universities and hospitals to nurture small businesses and overhauling the Baltimore Development Corp., the city's quasi-public economic development arm.
"Instead of just having the BDC working as a real estate company, chasing after one development after the next, they should be really serving entrepreneurs and small businesses," said Rolley, who was planning director under Mayor Martin O'Malley.
Rolley said he would push the BDC to publish statistics about its projects. "The BDC is giving out loans and grants without checks and balances or real analysis," he said. "It's almost like the honor system, except there is no honor — look at our unemployment rate."
Rolley — who holds a master's degree in urban planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and who worked for the Central Maryland Transportation Alliance — says he also would revamp the city's bus line to make it easier to for city residents to get to work.
Pugh, too, says she would revamp the BDC. She says she would evenly distribute tax credits around the city — not just to large downtown projects.
"We need to balance what we do downtown with what we do uptown," said Pugh, who represents West Baltimore in the state Senate. "If we need [tax incentives] to get light manufacturing in Baltimore, that's what we do. If we need [tax incentives] to get supermarkets in our neighborhoods, that's what we do."
Pugh says she would force the city to sign more contracts with local businesses. And she would work with small businesses to help them meet the needs of the city's large hospitals and universities.
"I'd sit down with the corporate community and begin to see what their needs are," she said. "How many hospital gowns do they use? How can we met their needs here in our city?"
Landers believes that lowering the city's property tax rate for homes and businesses, while raising taxes on vacant buildings, would spur growth. And he says he would create jobs by starting a public works initiative — paid for with bonds — to clean up city streets.

Festival Centre Buzzes with Top Talent and the Best International Films of 2007
Dubai, December 12, 2007: The fourth edition of the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) is in full swing, with both industry delegates and cinema lovers riding a wave of excitement following the last four days' activities, and looking forward to another 4 days of discussion panels, workshops, three evenings of musical concerts and screenings of the best international cinema.
Opening Night set the tone for a week of festival fever. The evening of December 9 saw some of international cinema's biggest names walk the red carpet at the Madinat Jumeirah: Sharon Stone, Leila Aloui, Kabir Bedi, Pooja Bedi, Pooja Batra, Mai Masri, and many more.
Of particular note for hundreds of onlookers gathered in the spectator pens was George Clooney, who also gave a sold-out one hour "In Conversation With" discussion at the Souk Theatre at the Madinat Jumeirah. He touched on his career and his thoughts on the situation in Darfur, and answered fans' questions from the floor.
The star power carried over to December 10, when Sharon Stone chaired the Cinema Against AIDS Dubai fundraising auction for amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS research. The glittering event, attended by Chinese actress Michelle Yeoh, Dita von Teese, Hayden Christensen of Star Wars fame, television star Rachel Bilson, and numerous dignitaries, raised USD 3 million for AIDS research.
Monday also saw Gloria Estefan and her husband Emilio Estefan officially launch their documentary, 90 Millas (90 Miles). Actors Tony Shalhoub, Sayed Badreya, Anthony Azizi, Sarah Shahi and Kais Nashif (Paradise Now) opened their film AmericanEast, which depicts Arab-American life after September 11, 2001.
The DIFF schedule is staggering, with an average of 30 films screening per day, including a Gala each evening. The Gala for the evening of the 10th was the children's film Bee Movie, starring the voice of Jerry Seinfeld. Children were feted on the red carpet, with a barbecue, puppet show, and clowns.
On December 11, the evening Gala was the World Premiere of What Lola Wants, a powerful story of the universal power of dance. Stars Laura Ramsey and Carmen Lebbos walked the red carpet with fellow cast members and director Nabil Ayoush.
On the industry side, the producer's course that was organized in partnership with the EAVE (European Audio Visual Entrepreneurs) draws to a close today, and has seen practical panels and meeting with experts on subjects such as how to market a film in today's volatile market and how to launch a first feature film. There was also a workshop on writing comedy featuring the popular Axis of Evil ensemble from the United States.
The next four days promise to be equally action-packed. On the 13, 14 and 15, a selection of DIFF films will be screened at the Grand Cineplex. The Rhythm n' Reels screening series begins tomorrow, with a performance by Gloria Estefan following the screening of 90 Millas. December 14 will feature the documentary The White Thread followed by the group Bnet Marrakech, who sing traditional Moroccan songs paired with electronic dance beats. The night of the series will feature a screening of Across the Universe, a kaleidoscopic ode to the 1960's, complimented by The Best of the British Invasions, a multimedia act that revisits some of the greatest moments in music history.
The Industry Office will begin a second initiative, the Dubai Film Connection, a project market that pairs Arab filmmakers and international funding bodies. Three projects will be selected to win an award of USD 15, 000 each, and will be flown to Cannes to participate in the prestigious Marche du Filme.
DIFF 2007 continues until December 16, 2007, when it will conclude with a special screening of The Kite Runner, in the presence of the author of the novel of the same name, Khaled Hosseini.
DIFF's Principal Sponsors are Dubai Duty Free, Dubai Pearl, Emirates and Jumeirah.
About DIFF:
The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) was launched in December 2004 under the theme: Bridging Cultures. Meeting Minds.
DIFF is held under the honorary Chairmanship of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum. DIFF is a not-for-profit cultural event, presented and organised by the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Authority.
As the previous editions of DIFF have demonstrated, the Festival not only presents cinematic excellence from around the world, but is also an important high-profile platform for aspiring home-grown talent.
"Bridging Cultures. Meeting Minds," has been hailed by all as a unique and relevant theme to promote better understanding and mutual respect between different communities and countries.
Since its inception, DIFF has become an important meeting point for international and regional filmmakers and industry professionals setting the foundation for potential future collaborations.
The past three editions of DIFF have presented more than 250 films, documentaries and shorts from more than 48 countries.
In 2006 the festival took place at the magnificent Madinat Jumeirah resort. As a further commitment of DIFF's endeavours to facilitate greater opportunities for regional Arab talent, the Muhr Awards was launched. Another first for DIFF in 2006 was the setting up of the Industry Office, which was established with a view to exclusively assist the needs of all registered delegates.
The fourth edition of the Dubai International Film Festival will take place from December 9-16 and will present the best of Arab and international cinema in the feature film, shorts and documentary formats. Building on the success of last year, DIFF 2007 will also host the Muhr Awards and the Industry Office with new features.

Credit card holders are more responsible about paying their bills than they've been in more than 22 years. That's according to an American Bankers Association report released today (tuesday).
It said delinquencies on bank-issued credit cards, on accounts that were 30 days or more overdue, fell to two-point-four percent in the first quarter of 2013. That's the lowest level since 1990.
The report also said delinquencies in 10 other lending categories, ranging from car loans to personal loans, also shrunk during the quarter. Representatives with the ABA said, "Many consumers have learned the hard lessons of recession, and have redoubled their efforts to keep debt at manageable levels."

How-to Video: Fitting Black Diamond Gloves and Mitts
BD athlete Josh Wharton making the first ascent of Two Dragons (M7) in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave Great Grip, Lightweight These gloves are great. The padding on the back of the knuckles is just right. These gloves are very thin, but good in a wide range of temps if you are active. I lead in these and throw a thicker pair of gloves on at belays. The palm is incredibly grippy and pretty much makes you climb better. March 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Evan Good Grip & Tight Fit I typically run a M's small glove across the board in BD gloves but I had to order a XS in these because the fingers were way too long. The size small fingers fit my friend's hand and he's a large. I was concerned that the XS would be too small but they have enough stretch to be comfortable plus the finger length is perfect. December 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve Great cool weather ice glove I use the Torque gloves ice climbing when the weather is not super cold. The palm material is very sticky and provides plenty of gription. The thin layer of padding on the back is just the right amount. Just enough to protect your knuckles, but not too much to keep it from being bulky. I usually wear these on approaches regardless of the temps. The pre-curved shape makes them fit really well so you're not fighting the material to hold your tools. November 12, 2013

Natural Bridges State Beach
Monarch Trail
0.75 mile round trip
Until October 1989, when the devastating Loma Prieta Earthquake shook Santa Cruz, it was easy to see why the beach here was named Natural Bridges. Alas, this strong temblor doomed the last remaining natural bridge.
While its offshore bridges are but a memory, this park on the outskirts of Santa Cruz nevertheless offers plenty of other natural attractions. A eucalyptus grove in the center of the park hosts the largest concentration of monarch butterflies in America. The park has an extensive interpretive program from October through March, when the monarchs winter at the grove.
Another park highlight is a superb rocky tidepool area, habitat for mussels, limpets, barnacles and sea urchins. After you explore the park, visit nearby Long Marine Laboratory, located just up-coast at the end of Delaware Avenue. University of California Santa Cruz faculty and students use the research facility, which studies coastal ecology. The Lab's Marine Aquarium is open to the public by docent tours.
Directions to trailhead: Natural Bridges State Beach is located off Highway 1 in Santa Cruz at 2531 W. Cliff Drive. Follow the signs from Highway 1.
The hike: Signed Monarch Trail begins near the park's small interpretive center. Soon the trail splits; the leftward fork leads to a monarch observation platform. Sometimes on cold mornings, the butterflies look like small, brown, fluttering leaves. As the sun warms the tropical insects, the "leaves" come to life bobbing and darting. As many as 200,000 monarchs cluster in the state park on a "good" butterfly year. The other branch of the trail is a self-guided nature trail. It ends in a grove of Monterey pine.
When you head back to the visitor center, detour down to the beach. Just up the beach is Secret Lagoon, the domain of ducks and great blue herons. Up the beach is one of the Central Coast's truly superb tidepool areas.

Based on the service and the quality of the food served, I will continue to patronize Season's. By the way, the Owner/Executive Chef stopped by our table and answered questions regarding the menu.

- Good Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 5/10/2014Season's is one of our favorite restaurants. They always try to seat us at our favorite table and the service is very good. The food and entertainment is also very good. We oftentimes see 10-15 other people we know when dining at this restaurant, so it is starting to feel "cozy" to us (which is good).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Amazing!myfavspotDined on 5/10/2014We dine at Season Bistro often and are never disappointed! Food is outstanding, and our server Sonya is fantastic, I specifically ask for her every time. Sonya just knows us so well, and she knows what and how we like things. So we have a cozy restaurant, mouth watering delicious food, and Sonya our awesome server, now that is what makes this place my favorite spot!Special Features:
- A great experience!localdinerVIPDined on 5/10/2014If you find yourself - or if you happen to live - in the McDonough area, this is the place to go. We went early on a Saturday, so we missed the live music. The food was very good, some basics done very well and a few inventive dishes that were tasty! A definite gem in the Southern suburbs. I am told the place gets loud 'n lively when the music starts, but we found it only moderately noisy and had great conversation space.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/9/2014This was my first time and the atmosphere was very relaxed and mellow. The service was great and it was everything I thought it should be!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not pleasedRacerDined on 4/26/2014I love the historic décor and the food was good, brought friends that I have not seen in a long time to have a nice dinner, all was good until the music started. We could not have a conversation and frankly the guy was not very good. I spent $220.00 on three people and could not wait to leave. I loved everything about it until the guy on stage started to play and it all went down hill from there. Would love to come back if this ever changes.Special Features:
- McDonough is luckySusanBDined on 4/22/2014Our group of six had a great meal, and perfect service. I love the look and feel of the place; it's not noisy (at least not when you come in as early as we did), and it's bright and attractive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Favorite Place to Dine...myfavspotDined on 4/19/2014I always enjoy myself at Season Bistro, they have delicious food and cocktail hour with great drinks. We have always been treated like family, and Sonya is our choice for our waitress and she is awesome! Lisa makes a killer jalapeno margarita and they are so yummy! I tell everyone about this place, I want it to be around for a very long time, I just love it! :) Phyllis MastenSpecial Features:

- Wonderful Dinner Out!BaltimoretoLGDined on 4/7/2014We have a long-time friend who comes to visit yearly. He's a gourmet cook, and we thought dinner at Seasons Bistro would be a wonderful dinner out for the three of us. And it was! The ambience was great, it was quiet on a Monday night, it was GREAT that it wasn't a long drive to get to a top-notch restaurant, and the food was excellent. Our friend commented that "the kitchen was outstanding." Our only slightly negative comment would be that it seemed to take a long time for our cocktails to come to the table, and it wasn't a busy night. Otherwise, we loved the time we were given for cocktails, appetizers, entrée, and one dessert to share - never felt rushed and enjoyed every bite! We DEFINITELY recommend Seasons Bistro to others!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/5/2014We came here for our anniversary and had an absolute great timeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date nightAlexDined on 3/28/2014This was our first time at Seasons Bistro and we had a wonderful time. The shrimp and grits were spicy and smokey and cooked to perfection and my fiance's shrimp and rosoto made a nice paring when we swapped bites. I think they should pair the two dishes as an app. Great vibe and feel to the room and the music was slow and low volume and did not disturb the meal and we were closest to the stage. Worth checking out and we will be back for sure...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Kitchen on vacationOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/22/2014We took two friends who had not been on a Saturday and the service was extremely slow. It took us over 30 minutes to get our lobster bisque and spring rolls. We ordered 4 appetizers as our dinner (Tapas style) and our friends ordered salads with blackened chicken. It took 40 minutes from when we received our first course. To make things worse, they brought ours out and then our friends salads 10 minutes later. (the chicken was not blackened) Our food was very good. The scallops were well prepared. The Bistro Steak appetizer was wonderful. Skylar was our waitress and was terrific but kept having to apologize for the wait. Kitchen must have been on vacation. I guess we will continue going into Atlanta for fine dining. Too bad.
- Great food and a great nightEueyirishDined on 3/22/2014This is a great restaurant with high class food. Great friendly service staff who are not up in your face but are very attentive. The atmosphere is also very relaxing and enjoyable with good live music. Needless to say I will be back shortly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Season's BistroOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 3/15/2014A little louder than normal, but still a very nice experience. Food is good and service is attentive. One of our favorite restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Season's Bistro ReviewOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/15/2014I especially am pleased that Open Table made the reservation and gave us good location. My brother's band, The Drugstore Cowboys, was playing that night and I especially wanted to be in a good area o see and hear them. Good cheesecake. I am vegetarian and the menu is packed with meat to difficult for me to have a meal there but I do order their sides which are good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local treatGigiDined on 3/10/2014When the ownership changed, things were uncertain for awhile. The new owners have found their niche now. Food and service are consistent and good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Second visit a miss!BandBDined on 3/8/2014Familiar menu, but it and service were weak tonight. App- filet on toasted(?)- Can't remember what menu said(expected bruschetta style)- cooked as requested- on untoasted bread. Bisque served cold, sent back- returned(too quickly) only luke warm at best. Four entrees, two salmon cooked as requested, veg OK, requested mashed potatoes not hot.; Shrimp risotto excellent- clearly the hit of the table; Angel Hair Alfredo/Shrimp served with another pasta(not previously explained) very under sauced. Rolls- sweet- should be a rustic sliced bread or rolls in this setting. Dessert (comped due to soup)- very good(Thin mint Chzcake and Creme Brulee) Server poured entire bottle at first pour! Did not return requested left-overs. Salesman he is not.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Scrumptious and Mouth Watering FoodmyfavspotDined on 3/8/2014I love this place a lot! OMG...the food is amazing and I had just about everything on the menu, and its all delicious! This is by far my favorite place for a date night with the hubby, amazing food, and a staff that treats you like your family. We always feel very relaxed and comfortable at Seasons. This restaurant is a must try for all! :) Thank You, Phyllis & Tom MastenSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OTP outingTrons4Dined on 2/22/2014Four of us girls finally got together for dinner and drinks. Three if us drove down from Atl and met out other friend who lives close Seasons Bistro. We reserved a spot near the music and were shown to a great table. We shared wine and a few appetizers before our entrees. Everyone enjoyed their choices. The music was amazing with plenty of appreciation from the guests at their tables. Paul and Felton are basically magic on that stage. We were able sit close while still enjoying our conversation with one another. Service, food and music were so good we've decided to leave the perimeter more often and head to McDonough.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Below PotentialDBC1Dined on 2/22/2014Season's Bistro has a great location and exceptional facility, but over the years has struggled to offer consistent service and memorable food. While there are times when expectations are exceeded, more frequently one is disappointed. This past Saturday our visit was specifically to hear Felton & Paul perform, but right off the bat I was told there was no wine list, as it was "in transition". For a place like Season's, this is completely unacceptable.Special Features:
- okhopen4moreDined on 2/21/2014The wife had the seafood pasta and loved it. I had the r ibeye and it was just ok. However I did have the tuna appetizers and it was to die for. I should have order three of them for dinner. The half price drinks from the bar was definitely a plus from 5 to 6.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My husband and I dined forSAPSDined on 2/14/2014My husband and I dined for Valentines Day, and we enjoyed it very much. Limited menu for that night but the section was great and well thought out. We have eaten there on other night s and have always had a good time and the food has always been great!Special Features:
- Overall good diinig experience,RonDoraDined on 2/14/2014Overall good diinig experience, however the food portions did not match the price. Food was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. Ambiance is less than you would expect. There is not much competition around town, However with some upgrades it could be a destination resturant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Bit Disappointing...FlippinDrizakDined on 2/10/2014The food was hit or miss, unfortunately. We had the Sambal Shrimp and Lobster Bisque for appetizers, both were quite delicious. However, our main courses were a bit disappointing. My wife ordered the Capri Tuna which was supposed to be "quickly pan seared" but turned out to be pretty thoroughly cooked. It was also quite salty and she did not care for it at all. I ordered the Mixed Seafood Alfredo. The mussels tasted spoiled and should have been tasted prior to serving. The shrimp, however, was perfectly cooked. The alfredo sauce was also a bit bland for my taste. We split the white chocolate cheesecake for dessert and that was superb - definitely worth going back for. We'll try it again based on the strength of apps and dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/8/2014Tried a number of appetizers, entrees and desserts. All were excellent. Especially liked the scallop appetizer.Special Features:
- I picked the wrong dish.pcondit12Dined on 2/8/2014My wife and I received great service from both the waiter and the bartender. There is a decent wine selection, and the appetizers were ordered (pot stickers and spring rolls) were exellent. I had fish tacos, and I was very disappointed. The fish was prepared as deep fried blocks of fish (both dark and white meat) and not prepared like I thought it would be (broiled or baked). I was not even sure what type of fish I was being served. The blocks of meat were dry on the outside and the inside; however, the other trimmings and the mango salsa was delicious. My wife ordered the shrimp and risotta. She was not exactly blown away by her dish either. We will return to this place, because the food is typically better and the service is always great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never AgainGacookieDined on 2/5/2014On our 54th Anniv we looked with anticipation to celebrating at Seasons. Our server tried very hard to please us in any way she could. It is sad the cook did not care we would never return due to not only his attitude but his service. Our steaks came out well done (we ordered medium rare), warmed over cold sides. We returned the plates, and the cook gave our server a hard time. He had to use a thermometer and found he was wrong....however he shuts the grill off and 45 min later he had not even begun to cook our meal. When $30 steaks are ordered yes I do expect more.
- Top notch food, laid back & trendyScottDined on 2/4/2014Loved this place...I drove down from Atlanta where we all know you can find an assortment of amazing restaurants. But Seasons was a pleasant surprise. The food was affordable but bistro-quality and the ambiance was both trendy and laid back. I felt like I could relax and just be myself. The patrons and wait staff were all very neighborly, and the service was outstanding. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone within a few hours drive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ClosedRestaurantloverDined on 1/30/2014We arrived with the restaurant confirmation for the birthday dinner and Season's was not open. It was a big disappointment.We had to change plans at the last minute and try to get into Pasta Max which was pretty crowded. It was definitely a let down.

SNELLVILLE — The Gwinnett County Medical Examiner's Office has released the identity of the kayaker who drowned in Snellville's Norris Lake over the weekend.Chief Forensic Investigator Ted Bailey said Wednesday that the man was 45-year-old Roberto Santillanes-Carrillo, his last known address in Atlanta. Next of kin was notified Wednesday, Bailey said. Santillanes-Carrillo was on Norris Lake on Saturday afternoon when witnesses said his kayak capsized. A work crew building a boat deck told authorities that Santillanes-Carrillo appeared not to be able to swim and was not wearing a life jacket. He was last seen struggling to stay afloat, clinging to the overturned kayak before he went under. After four dives to recover the man's body were unsuccessful Saturday, a search from the surface Sunday was called off at about 5 p.m., Gwinnett County Fire Department spokesman Capt. Tommy Rutledge said. Using cadaver dogs, sonar devices and divers from Forsyth County, Santillanes-Carrillo's body was finally found at about 3 p.m. Monday.

Found November 23, 2012 on Ted's Army:
PLAYERS: Jim Bowden, Mike Napoli, David Ortiz, Josh Hamilton, John Farrell
TEAMS: Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays
TEAMS: Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. According to Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and the MLB Radio Network, free agent Mike Napoli is holding out for a fourth guaranteed year from the Red Sox, and has also drawn interest from the Mariners. There have also been reports regarding the Yankees interest in Napoli. The 31-year-old would be viewed by the Red Sox as a first baseman, who would also provide depth at catcher and behind David Ortiz as a designated hitter. The right-handed-hitting Napoli struggled for much of the 2012 season, finishing with a .227 batting average and .812 OPS while battling leg injuries. Napoli did, however, finish '12 strong, hitting seven home runs to go with a 1.051 OPS in the season's final month. Napoli was not offered the one-year, $13 million qualifying offer by the Rangers, meaning the no draft pick would be forfeited by any team signing the slugger. WEEI - Report: Mike Napoli looking for fourth year In my "offseason plan" I had Napoli penciled in as the Sox 2013 first baseman, so it probably won't shock you to hear me say that Boston should go ahead and give him that fourth year. I'd rather see the Sox sign on for four years of Mike Napoli than six or seven years of Josh Hamilton -- although both of those things could still happen. But Boston needs some power in the middle of that lineup. Outside of Napoli, there aren't many attractive free agents who can swing a big bat. Don't want Hamilton. Swisher, who the Sox are supposedly after, I greatly despise and is after a four year contract himself. But, of course, it all comes down to dollars. If Napoli is looking for $15 million a year, for four years, I'd ask him to come into my office just so I could slam the door in his face. But if the price is right, I wouldn't hesitate to agree to his terms. As unbelievable as it is, Seattle may be the more attractive destination for Napoli. Boston can't trump up the "compete for a World Series" angle, at least not for a few more seasons. Whichever he picks, he'll be on a mediocre club. And Seattle is offering Napoli the catcher position, which is supposedly where he'd prefer to play. Of course, baseball free agency rarely shakes out how we expect. However this Napoli situation shakes out, I'm sure it'll be surprising.

Hey there. Happy Monday and stuff. I spent a lot of time inside my head this weekend, but I put on a happy face and stayed busy. We had a blast at a friend's neighborhood fall festival on Saturday afternoon, where lil' E rocked the zipline:
He must have waited in line for close to half an hour to do this, and I was sure that once he got to the top he would change his mind. Not so! He stepped off the platform like a champ. It was pretty cool. :)
The rest of the weekend consisted of grocery shopping, working out (I did STS Saturday and yoga yesterday), walking the neighborhood in search of spooky houses with the kids, studying, watching Real Housewives shenanigans, cheering for the Rangers (woohoo!), taking goofy pictures of myself…
…and cooking. :)
Yesterday morning I made PPK's Carrot Cake Pancakes. Again. They are ridiculously tasty- definitely one of my all-time favorite pancake recipes.
I did my usual thing and layered them with mashed ripe banana and topped with walnuts and pure maple syrup.
Salad for lunch with lots of goodies:
A gorgeous mix of spinach, carrots, 'shrooms, grape tomatoes, broccoli, avocado, classic hummus, hemp seeds and Goddess dressing.
Yesterday afternoon I wanted to occupy myself in the kitchen, so I decided to make vegan Crunchy Peanut Butter Bon Bons. :) The recipe is by sisters Jenny Engel & Heather Goldberg, and now I really want to buy their cookbook! It's definitely next on my list. The cookbook obsession never ends.
Anyway, these were really easy and fun to make!
As you may have guessed, they were sinfully delish, too.
(The tape on that chair cracks me up. My mom's husband, L, gave O that old chair to sit in at the table since he's such a messy eater, and it is definitely on its last legs. L is a… creative handy man. If tape can fix it, it's not broken. He once tied the bumper back on to his old Taurus with wire. Duct tape may have been involved as well. *cringe*)
When I made those Roasted Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchiladas two weeks ago I purposely roasted some extra butternut squash with the intention of making this later in the week. Time flew by and I ended up freezing the extra squash, and I pulled it out this weekend with a plan to make that mac & cheeze last night. My Mom made her amazing vegan chili yesterday (which simmered on the stove top all afternoon) and insisted that I have some, so I threw the mac & cheeze plans out the window and instead used the squash as a base for my chili. It was so GOOD! I never knew how good butternut squash could be until I started cooking with it recently.
My Ma's chili is basically beans, tomatoes, chopped veggies like squash and onion, and spices. It is the perfect texture and really hearty, with a nice kick of heat- I love spicy chili! I topped my bowl with chopped cilantro and vegan sour cream:
This was such a good meal. (Thanks, Mom!)
I don't know what the deal is, but when B and I were together I cooked at least four or five nights a week, and we never had tons of leftovers. Now I cook once or twice a week and I have so much food! I still have a serving of Chickpea Wild Rice Soup in the freezer, as well as the last of the Roasted Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchiladas, which I plan on eating tomorrow night for dinner since it's my long day at school and I probably won't feel like cooking.
I really enjoy cooking and wish I could do it more often, but I just don't have enough people to feed! Wanna come over for dinner? I now find that making two new meals each week- three tops- yields enough food for me to grub on all week long plus leftovers to freeze. This week I'll be making DG's Indian Lentils with Spinach and Eggplant (made this before and loved it!)- probably on Wednesday- and tonight I'm making Baked Eggplant Burgers! Don't they look freaking rad!? I can't wait to see how they turn out. :D
I definitely need to get out and do some fun stuff since I was kind of a lame-o this weekend. Luckily, I have some awesome stuff planned for next weekend! Friday night I'm taking my sis to Spiral Diner (she's never been), Saturday is the Mercy For Animals Texas State Veggie Fair kick-off party, and Sunday is the Texas State Veggie Fair. I'm pretty excited about all of it!
Ok. I'm off to crunch out some school work and rock another STS workout. Have a good day!
