Mascarpone-Filled Cake with Sherried Berries Reviews
Gourmet | July 2008
reviews & comments (121)
LOVE this combo! The cake was great ... yes, cornbread like in texture, but it added to the "shortcake" feel of the dessert. The cream is TO.DIE.FOR ... I made a double batch, as some recommended, and spread the rest a week later (that would be today!) between chocolate wafer cookies, put another dollop on top along with a strawberry half ... pure heaven. And the sherried berries ... I was hesitant about those but they are WONDERFUL. The sherry is very subtle, and not identifiable as that. It just adds a touch of ... I don't know ... something special ... to the dessert. Not only would I make it again ... I WILL and often! My guests loved it too.
I've made this cake several times now and offer some suggestions. As written (and as shown in the photo), this recipe tries to be something it isn't. This is not a fine-grained cake that is suitable for stacking in layers. This is a simple, hearty cake. I think it's best just to serve it in one layer with a big dollop of the "filling" and a spoonful of the macerated berries. (Any powdered sugar you sprinkle on disappears, especially if you drizzle the cake with something.) Creme de cassis (which another reviewer mentioned) produces a much better flavor than dry sherry. Sometimes I've added lemon zest to the cake and other times to the mascarpone. Using creme de cassis, I haven't had to drizzle the cake with anything. This recipe is good, but needs some tweaking, as most Epicurious recipes do. As written, the recipe is a 3. With tweaking, it's a 4.
First off, I really love that this is a one-pan cake. The quantities are spot on. I did, however, make a couple changes. I doubled the mascarpone recipe so that I could dollop an additional portion on the top of each piece of cake. The mascarpone is the star of the show here. I also made a rum and lemon simple syrup to drizzle on the cut layers, which made the cake very moist and flavorful. I read a few reviews before making this cake and decided I definitely didn't want to have a dry lackluster cake. I also added the zest of a whole lemon to the cake batter as well as a 1/2 tsp of almond extract. Definitely a recipe you can doctor up to suit your palette!
Nice and easy cake to make. Excellent filling with mascarpone. I used blueberries and strawberries with dry red wine instead of Sheery, that was delicious. Only thing was that the cake was a bit dry, I might baked it too long. I would make more filling to serve on the side. It was really good that I wanted it on top of the cake too.
Excellent! The only modifications I made were to add the zest of 1.5 lemons to the cake batter, and the zest of half a lemon to the cream filling; and to use triple sec instead of sherry because it's what I had on hand. A lovely cake that received many compliments at the party!
I like to add a teaspoon or so of Marsala or sweet sherry to the mascarpone, and put some almond flavoring into the cake. YUMMY.
I made this for my daughter - mind u I make something then adjust it to suit me always, this one I didn't adjust - I used bob's red mill flour as a friend told me to try that one as it isn't as dry. I used a spring form pan which did very well. the only thing I might change is adding lemon extract as it goes well with the berries and I didn't top the cake - I sliced it then added the berries to each slice - I also put some of the cream in a decorators bag and did a design on the top as to make the cake look nice as I took it some where before serving. its also why i didn't top it with berries as I didn't want a soggy cake - once sliced it I could add as much of the topping or none as the guests wanted. I am a bit of a food snob and tend to throw out something if not perfect and remake till it is. I rarely leave a recipe as I found it as my cook books will attest to!. I come from a long line of cooks and some things we make are old family ones passed only thru memory.
Everyone enjoyed this recipe, even those that aren't huge fans of cake. I didn't have a two inch deep cake pan, so I divided the batter between two pans and reduced the cooking time to about 25-30 minutes. I followed the recipe exactly, and it was delightful. I used only strawberries and it seemed like an elegant twist on a strawberry shortcake.
The first time I made this for my mom's 50th birthday. We all decided that the cream filling was the most amazing cream we had ever had. As for the pound cake, it was a little bit of a disappointment. Their was nothing terrible about it but I'm used to my mothers famous lemon pound cake from Germany. With that being said, the second time I made the cake I put a lemon twist on it. I used mom lemon pound cake recipe and added lost of lemon juice to the cream. It was very good.
I just made this cake yesterday for a housewarming party and the guests loved it! I put the cream between the layers and and left the cake in the fridge overnight. Before serving, I had some extra cream so we spreaded this on the top and then arranged the berries over this. I definitely recommend the top layer of cream to hold the berries. It was also nice to have more of the cream throughout the cake since it was so divine! I recommend making more of the marscapone cream so that you have extra to spread on top of the cake. The cake itself was lovely and dense. I suspect you would have to be careful not to overcook this type of cake or else it would end up dry.

New World glory:
"Make you feel better," he said. "You stay in bed today, senor. Not good to go out Good Friday night anyway. Christ dies today. Until He rises to heaven on Sunday, there is no one to punish men's acts. Thieves and drunks will be out. Maybe terrorists too, you beware, senor."
THAT EVENING, feeling somewhat better, I attended Ayacucho's Good Friday night procession highlight of the year in this Andean religious center famed for its 30 churches. Just off the Plaza de Armas, I elbowed my way into a dense crowd waiting for the life-size image of Christ to be borne out of a church in a ceremonial glass coffin.
Just then—it was exactly 7:32 p.m.—there was a tremendous blast, as if two subway trains had collided directly beneath our feet. I took three steps and froze. The man behind me broke into wailing prayer. For three or four seconds the old stone church towers swayed and shuddered, Then, a moment of eerie stillness, followed by a cacophony of screams. And, in fact, that's what it was measuring, we learned later, 5. 1 on the Richter scale, this, however, was not one of the earthquakes Brady had predicted. Damage in the city itself was slight, unlike the nearby villages where eight persons were killed by the quake and a dozen more were injured.
DWARFED by the vastness of South America, Peru has a vastness of its own. Superimposed on a map of the United States, it would stretch from Chicago and New York City in the north to Miami in the south. AREA: 1,285,216 sq km (496,225 sq mi), third largest nation on the continent. POPULATION: 17,031,000, fourth on the continent. Nearly half—mostly whites and mestizos—are concentrated along the coast. The rest are Indians, mainly Quechua and Aymara subsistence farmers in the mountains. CAPITAL: Lima, pop. 4,738,000. RELIGION: Roman Catholic. LANGUAGE: Spanish.
Dressed to fill Lima's stylish role, Peru's 1981 Senorita Playa (Miss Beach), Paulina Muro (above left), models fashions in Camino Real Shopping Center (above). True to its translation—royal road—the mall in the San Isidro section draws travelers on the high road of life. Old World glitter: Bullfighting roared into Peru with Pizarro. Lima's Plaza de Acho, oldest bullring in the Americas, draws matadors (above) and aficionados from Spain and Latin America.
New World glory: The "lost city" of Machu Picchu graces a lofty berth high above the Urubamba River (overleaf). For 500 years the Inca ruins lay concealed, until found by Hiram Bingham in 1911 and explored with help from the National Geographic Society. Somehow the outpost escaped detection by Pizarro's forces, which in 1533 sacked and plundered nearby Cuzco, the Incas' royal city.
Anguish written on her face, a woman in the Andean village of Paschal mourns the loss of loved ones in the earthquake that struck the Ayacucho region on Good Friday, 1981. Repeated aftershocks drove terrified villagers out of their crumbling adobe houses to set up makeshift straw huts and tents in the main square.
In 1970 residents of Hungary, north of Lima, had no forewarning when a massive earthquake broke loose a glacier. The subsequent avalanche buried Hungary Piety perseveres as celebrants at Ayacucho's Good Friday night procession last April transport an ornate glass coffin containing a statue of Christ. Only 20 minutes before, the Andean religious center had been violently jarred by an earthquake, which measured more than 5 on the Richter scale.

In a personal, emotional speech, the country's first African American president called for better training to end racial profiling, a reconsidering of stand your ground laws and ways to empower the country's African American boys following the trial of George Zimmerman.
"When Trayvon Martin was shot, I said, 'This could have been my son.' Another way of saying that is, Trayvon could have been me," he said.
"There are few African American men who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping at department store, including me."
"The African American community is looking at this through a set of experiences that doesn't go away."
"The African American community also knows there's a history of racial disparities in the applications of our laws."
President Obama said the country should respect Zimmerman's not guilty verdict because that's how the justice system works, but that white Americans should also understand that African Americans are in pain over Martin's death and continue to face racial discrimination.
"I think President Obama did something that is important in this moment in our history," Nekima Levy-Pounds, an associate law professor at the University of St. Thomas, said. She has an 11-year-old son named Trayvon.
"To have the president say, yes I'm in the White House, however, I have experienced those same things and Trayvon was me 35 years ago -- I think is really powerful," Levy-Pound said.
Levy-Pounds says having the president share his own experiences as a black man in America should help bridge the country's lingering racial divide.
"For him to be willing to take such a courageous stand is powerful and positive and will help push us as a nation in the right direction," she said.
Obama also called on the country's families, workplaces and communities of faith to have frank conversations about race.
In her own response to the Zimmerman acquittal, Levy-Pounds will lead a discussion at First Covenant Church Minneapolis on Sunday at 6 p.m.

37th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Lamentablemente, no hay versión en español de este documento
Wetlands and 'biofuels'
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to review the attached draft COP10 Resolution, amend it as appropriate, and approve it for finalization for COP10 consideration.
Note by the Secretariat
1. In Decision SC36-24 "The Standing Committee noted the progress of the STRP's work on wetlands and climate change, encouraged the Panel to take the SC's comments into account and develop a draft Resolution for consideration by SC37, and requested the Panel to consider how best to reflect 'biofuel' issues in this or a separate draft Resolution."
2. Following consultation with the Chair and members of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), the Panel considers that it is more appropriate to bring forward a separate draft COP10 Resolution on wetlands and biofuels, rather than incorporate the issue within the broader and different scope of a draft Resolution on wetlands and climate change, which is intended to focus on issues concerning wetlands and their role in climate change mitigation and adaptation, including in the global carbon cycle.
3. The Panel and Secretariat have therefore prepared the attached draft Resolution on wetlands and biofuels, which principally addresses this issue as primarily one of land use change and change in agricultural practices, including water use, and the potential for these changes to adversely impact upon wetlands and their ecosystem services (including carbon storage and sequestration).
4. Given the limited time and capacity available in the STRP between the 36th and 37th meetings of the Standing Committee to progress this matter, the Standing Committee should consider the attached draft COP10 Resolution as a working draft, and the Secretariat and STRP will welcome the advice to the Standing Committee on how best to finalise the draft for COP10 consideration.
Draft Resolution X.00
Wetlands and 'biofuels'
1. RECOGNIZING that attempts to create new energy supplies and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuels is an urgent global priority;
2. AWARE of the increasingly global attention to the use of alternative and renewable sources of energy, including inter alia biofuel production, and EXPRESSING CONCERN that such changes in energy policy can have actual or potential detrimental effects upon wetlands and their ecosystem services to people;
3. ALSO AWARE that biofuel can be manufactured from many different crops, such as sugar cane, corn, beets, wheat and sorghum (grown for conversion to bioethanol) and rapeseed, sunflower, soya, oil palm, coconut and jatropha (grown for conversion to biodiesel), each with different potential impacts on wetlands;
4. FURTHER AWARE that many parts of the world are now water-stressed and that this demand for water is projected to grow, and CONCERNED that, with 70% of abstracted water already being used for irrigated agriculture, not only will replacement crops with a high water demand add to this pressure but that global expansion of irrigated biofuel production systems could multiply this effect and potentially result in even more substantial impacts at local and regional levels;
5. RECOGNIZING that some biofuel crops have lower water demands, can be grown on marginal lands, and can perhaps assist in environmental rehabilitation;
6. AWARE of the work of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), and Wetlands International (WI), among others, on issues of water, wetlands, agriculture and biofuels;
7. EXPRESSING CONCERN that with global demand for food production projected to increase substantially in line with efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goal on food security, competing demands upon agricultural land for food and biofuel production will lead to further pressure for the conversion of wetlands and other threatened ecosystems, including sites previously the subject of restoration programmes; and
8. FURTHER CONCERNED that such conversion risks damaging the high carbon sequestration and storage capacity of such wetlands [as recognized by DR X.00 on climate change] and risks major releases of greenhouse gases from such wetlands, as is already reported for the conversion of peatswamp forests to palm oil production in southeast Asia, and that decisions concerning conversion of wetlands for agricultural biofuel production may not necessarily take into account the full range of ecosystem services, such as flood protection, food and fiber, and groundwater recharge, provided by such wetlands;
9. CALLS UPON all Contracting Parties to assess carefully the potential impacts, benefits and trade-offs of proposed biofuel crop production schemes affecting Ramsar sites and other wetlands, particularly the implications for surface and groundwater resources, and to apply environmental impact assessment (EIA) and strategic environmental assessment (SEA), as appropriate and in line with Resolution VII.16 and [DR X.00];
10. STRONGLY URGES Contracting Parties to ensure that in any consideration of conversion of wetlands for biofuel crop production, the full range and value of ecosystem services provided to people by these wetlands is understood;
11. ENCOURAGES Contracting Parties, when seeking to increase their biofuel crop production, to prefer those crops that do not risk damage to wetlands either directly through drainage and conversion to agricultural land or indirectly through increased water abstraction demands;
12. INSTRUCTS the Scientific & Technical Review Panel to:
i) assess the global distribution of biofuel production in relation to impacts on wetlands;
ii) review existing best management practice guidance for growing biofuels;
iii) consider the preparation of further guidance for Contracting Parties on addressing biofuel issues in relations to wetlands and water; and
iv) advise the Standing Committee of its conclusions; and
13. INVITES the FAO and other interested organizations to contribute to this work.

Did you fall for 2009's biggest Wall Street lies?
Investors were repeatedly lied to, deceived and, as we can see from the unwarranted rally, duped. Here are the biggest lies of 2009.
By Michael Shulman, InvestorPlace.com
The market staged an impressive rally this year, but it was predicated on some very big lies, as opposed to solid fundamentals or the beginnings of a real recovery in the U.S. economy.
The biggest lie investors were fed? That, statistically, the recession "officially" ended in Q3 when we saw 3.5% GDP growth. Sure the Bureau of Economic Analysis revised their number substantially in November, saying we only saw 2.8% growth, but this was growth nonetheless -- according to the statistics.
In the face of Depression-level unemployment, a worsening housing market and weak consumer spending, statistics don't mean much. What, you heard that unemployment bottomed at 10%, the housing market was recovering and consumer spending was picking up again? More lies. In fact, here are five of the biggest lies from 2009.
10 Reasons the Economy Will NOT Recover in 2010
The recession is not over, and once you know the other Wall Street lies, it should be clear that you should expect nothing more than a flat recovery in the second half of next year. And that's the best-case scenario. It's very likely we may, in fact, see a double-dip recession.
It seems that Wall Street has yet to catch on to this fact. But when that happens, look out. Chances are that when they sit up and take notice, they will head for the exits (or a place to cash their bonus checks before they bounce). Don't get left in the wake -- take note of these lies and, more importantly, how you can profit from them once the wool has been removed from your eyes.
Lie #1 -- Unemployment will bottom around 10%.
Sure the unemployment rate fell from 10.2% in October to 10% in November, but the November data (and the December number when it is reported) are hopelessly skewed by seasonal adjustments. And another statistical adjustment, known as the birth/death adjustment, assumed 800,000 new jobs were created this year by the birth of companies compared to the number of jobs lost due to the death of companies. Really? If it were not so sad, it would be funny.
Beyond the adjustments, the number does not include people who want a full-time job but are only working part time, or those who have been unemployed for more than a year and still have not found work, because it is determined that they must no longer be looking for jobs. If you take these people into account, the real unemployment number is closer to 20%.
So the official unemployment number doesn't even come close to telling the whole story. And the temp agency Manpower Inc. recently reported that they expect to see more job losses in Q1 2010. My guess is the headline number hits 12% by year-end.
Lesson for investors in 2010 -- Unemployment and the size of the workforce drive national income, and that will be lower in 2010 than in 2009, which will kill off any chances of sustainable economic growth. Invest accordingly.
Lie #2 -- The housing market is recovering.
Moody's reported that the rate of defaults on home mortgages has fallen to roughly 6.5% of all mortgages, and that the number will be slightly lower throughout 2010. They neglected to mention that the historical default rate is one-third that, or that the 2010 default rate on mortgages will be 300% higher than the historical rate.
Housing sales in 2010 will be worse than expected, and home prices will continue to fall as more and more foreclosed homes enter the market. There are currently more than 800,000 foreclosed houses that the banks have yet to put on the market, and another 1.5 million homes are expected to go into foreclosure in the next 18 months.
Lesson for investors in 2010 -- Don't bet on a housing market recovery next year. And realize that this sector will create a great shorting opportunity.
Lie #3 -- The credit crunch is easing.
The headline consensus on Wall Street is that the banks are stable and no markets are melting down. In short, things are returning to normal.
But we've seen a $1.5 trillion reduction in consumer credit during the past 18 months, and another $1 trillion (at least) is likely to be pulled back in the coming year, according to uber-analyst Meredith Whitney -- someone I wouldn't bet against. And almost no one is getting a home equity line. The credit crunch will continue in 2010, as lending standards remain high and banks horde their cash to stay afloat.
Lesson for investors in 2010 -- Less available credit means reduced spending in 2010 and beyond. Invest accordingly.
Lie #4 -- Consumer spending is returning to normal.
With 70% of the GDP driven by consumer spending, Wall Street wants to believe this lie so badly that it has convinced itself it's true. Even worse-than-expected Black Friday sales haven't forced the Street to give up this inane hope.
Real consumer wealth is down more than 40% in the past two years; credit is contracting and unemployment is rising. That is not exactly the recipe for increased consumer spending.
Lesson for investors in 2010 -- Companies that are dependent on discretionary consumer spending are going to get whacked.
Lie #5 -- China experienced double-digit growth in 2009.
If you think China saw double-digit growth this year, you may also believe swine flu is spread via flying pigs.
The London-based Lombard Group, using energy data from the International Energy Agency -- which we can assume is a bit more accurate that the nonsense printed by the Chinese government -- shows GDP growth may have been just 2% in the first quarter rather than the reported 6.1%. And even that growth is being held up by government stimulus and state banks lending money to anyone and everyone to build capacity no one needs or to invest in Chinese equities no one can fairly value since Chinese accounting is as good as Chinese government data.
Lesson for investors in 2010 -- Although it's likely going to be a while before it happens, the China bubble is going to burst. Keep some powder dry, because this will be the best shorting opportunity since the financials blew up in 2008.
These are just a few of lies we were fed in 2009. Check out the complete list of The 10 Biggest Lies of 2009 here.

Here's an interesting story for all you parents. A new study published in this month's American Sociological Review suggests students who contribute their own money to their college education may work harder.
However students whose parents take on more of the financial support, have more time for social and extracurricular activities while in college and that could lead to a lower grade point average.

Mississippi Valley State University has closed its campus and moved a weekend basketball all because of a bomb threat called in Wednesday.
The bomb threat included the Mississippi Valley State University campus in Itta Bena and the Leflore County Civic Center. That's where the Delta Devils and Devilettes play their home games.
Saturday's scheduled game against Alcorn State has been moved to the Alcorn campus in Lorman. Game times are set for 2 p.m. for the women's game and 4 p.m. for the men's game.
Monday's game between MVSU and Southern University has also been postponed until Feb. 27 at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the Leflore County Civic Center.
Campus police said all buildings and the civic center will be swept. And they strongly recommended that students leave the campus this weekend.
Classes will resume on Tuesday, January 21, following the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday Monday.

65 million years ago, an asteroid struck our planet in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. Millions of dinosaurs were tragically killed either by the impact itself, or the resulting extreme climate changes it produced. Scientists have long believed these species to have been permanently extinct, but the emerging field of paleocosmology has revealed that many thousands of dinosaurs were thrown from the earth during the impact and underwent what scientists call "hyperevolution," rapidly adapting to their new extraterrestrial surroundings. They dispersed into the cosmos, exploring mysterious pockets and folds of our universe and establishing new dinosaur settlements in the stars.
Though paleocosmology is a new field, humanity has long intuited that dinosaurs likely became space frontiersmen, as evidenced by Figure 1-5, above. In 1985 (the same year Martin McFly became the world's first time traveler, through an accident involving Dr. Emmet Brown's flux capacitor), an astronaut named Loren Acton took the fossil of an infant Maiasaura (a duck-billed dinosaur) on the Spacelab 2 NASA mission. This marked the first time a dinosaur has been in our planet's orbit since the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event. In 1998 (the same year Fat Joe released Don Cartegena), the skull of a meat-eater therapod named Coelophysis was taken on the shuttle Endeavor to the Mir space station, where it was subsequently reanimated. We have received no recognizable transmissions from the Mir since, though we expect the zombie Coelophysis to learn to operate the communication systems within the next 20 years, and we hope to receive an update then.
Paleocosmologists have used dinotelescopic technology to take deep space photographs of these amazing species in their natural space habitats. Bizarrely enough, in the tens of millions of years that have elapsed since dinosaurs were rocketed beyond our solar system's borders, many species have settled in extraterrestrial environments most reflective of their own adaptive strengths, which will be explored more in the below posts. Please do enjoy this chronicle of our noble field's discoveries thus far, and the incredible examples of survival and adaptation these extraterrestrial dinosaurs have become.
As famed chaotician Ian Malcolm once said, "Life finds a way."

Congress is expected to be in session fewer than a dozen days between now and Election Day.

Panasonic Lumix GF2 review
Review Date : Mon, 17 Jan 2011
Author : Mike Lowe
- Sample Photos: Panasonic Lumix GF2 test sample images gallery
The new Panasonic Lumix GF2 is the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens camera to come complete with a built-in flash and touchscreen technology. But how does it compare to other compact system cameras out now? The Panasonic Lumix GF2 review finds out...
|Size, design, HD video
|no viewfinder, no physical mode dial
Staying ahead of the curve needs new technology and innovation - something the new Panasonic Lumix GF2 looks to herald by offering touchscreen technology as well as being the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens camera to come complete with a built-in flash. But does the Panasonic GF2 deliver the goods and is it a strong enough release to keep the Micro Four Thirds foundations unshaken?
The Compact System Camera market has gone from strength to strength
in the past year. What was once a Panasonic and Olympus only club has
since seen independent models released from both Sony and Samsung. Back in November 2009 we reviewed the Panasonic Lumix GF1, the precursor to this latest model and, at the time, what we thought was the epitome of what Compact System Cameras should be: small, light, and compact-like yet with DSLR-esque characteristics and qualities. Fast forward just over a year and the Panasonic Lumix GF2 sticks to its guns by offering much the same package, yet trims more size and weight away from its previous incarnation, coming in at some 19% smaller and 7% lighter.
Panasonic Lumix GF2 review - Features
The 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor at the camera's heart is the very same as that found in the GF1 before it, though the latest Venus Engine FHD (Full High Definition) upgrades a couple of areas: Firstly video capture is increased from AVCHD Lite at 720p to AVCHD at 1080i; secondly the latest engine enables the sensitivity to push a stop further, allowing for ISO 6400 to be selected at the top-end.
The same 3in, 460k-dot resolution as per the GF1 screen still features, though this is now touch-capable and can be utilised to control any and all of the camera's functions to some degree.
As well as full manual controls, there's the option of clicking the new one-touch iA (intelligent Auto) button for automated control should you wish to let the camera take over. It's ideal for point-and-shoot work or more complex and demanding scenarios depending on your level.
As well as both Raw and JPEG shooting, in-camera My Color Mode also provides an array of colour types and styles, such as 'Retro', 'Silhouette', 'Monochrome' and many more that can be applied to your shots.

Expand Your M(eye)nd.
The website filmschoolrejects.com (a great resource for filmmakers, by the way) has found what they claim to be the worst Kickstarter campaign in the history of the website. Kickstarter is a website that allows people to put projects on the internet, and ask for financing in a crowdsourced way. It's recently been getting a lot of buzz, but also it's fair share of criticism (most recently due to celebrities like Spike Lee and Zach Braff utilizing the service).
The person of interest in this tale of internet woe is form AFI lecturer Linda Stuart, who is seeking $5 Million dollars to finance her film "Kate Allen is Getting a Life". What exactly makes the attempt so terrible? Well, from casting actresses who haven't appeared in a starring role in the last decade, to asking for an insane $5 million dollar goal (even Spike Lee and Zach Braff managed to keep their targets near the $2 million mark), to titling her campaign as "Film w/ Thora Birch, Heather Matarazzo, Jennifer Elise Cox", to offering financiers who give $1000 a paltry return of "name in the credits" and $25 back, to obscurely writing her pitch as though it was a synopsis in TV Guide, Stuart seems to be making every mistake in the book. The plus side? The folks at Film School Rejects show you everything Stuart did wrong, and give you pointers on how to avoid this sort of mishap for your own crowdsourcing endeavors.

BUY THIS CAR by toyota lover on 08/03/2011. Trim: 2001 Toyota Camry LE, Owned 10 years.
Pros: this is second camry. first one was a used 1987 camry that we could not kill. Timing belt and alternator were it. 250,000 miles on it and we sold it to get one we have now. 2001 is amazing. Lots of room, power and great ride.100,000 miles on one we have now and all we have done is spark plugs. Still banging out 33 on highway and 25 around town. Love this car!
Cons: Nothing at all!
Overall review: BUY ONE! Miles don't seem to matter if it has any care given it at all. We have 4 toyotas now because of the dependability of the first one bought and we love these cars. Most dependable you could imagine and very very few repairs if any!

A deadly shooting overnight in west Toledo is under investigation.
Toledo police say around 2:30 a.m., an Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper was flagged down by a citizen about a suspicious vehicle.
The trooper found a car stopped in the roadway at North Reynolds Road and Newhart Circle.
20-year-old Kenneth Collins was found unconscious in the driver's seat with what appeared to be a gunshot wound.
Collins was transported to the University of Toledo Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.
Police spent hours searching the scene and the vehicle for any evidence of a crime.
Police do not have a suspect at this time and are asking the public for help with the investigation.
"If anybody has any idea what may have happened, if they heard anything or know where the crime scene may be, it might not have been there. We don't know yet. We're still trying to process all the evidence. Any information we can get would be helpful at this time," said Sgt. Joe Heffernan of the Toledo Police Department.
If you know anything that may help police, you are asked to call Crimestopper at 419-255-1111. Callers can remain anonymous.

Some tips on shooting underwater scenes in the marine habitats at SeaWorld, Disney
Live updates from the George Zimmerman bond hearing
Zimmerman's father, Robert Zimmerman, said he would alert the court if his son failed to adhere to the conditions of his bond.
He said he doesn't have much money to help his son with bail, but would take a second mortgage on his home to help secure his son's release.
"I'm a disabled veteran, and don't have a great deal of income," the elder Zimmerman said. Of his son, he said, "I've never known him to be violent at all unless otherwise provoked, then he'd turn the other cheek."
Prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda then asked Robert Zimmerman about his son's finances. He also asked Robert Zimmerman about his son's prior 2005 arrest, in which he was accused of striking a law enforcement officer near the University of Central Florida.
He said his son has "always been interested in criminal justice," and is an honest man.
"I believe him because he's been honest his whole life," Robert Zimmerman said. He said he saw his son the day after the shooting, and he had gashes on the back of his head. His face was swollen, the elder Zimmerman said.

Trayvon Martin protest march planned for weekend
A coalition of college students will spend the next three days marching about 40 miles between Daytona Beach and Sanford to protest the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
The group, who call themselves the Dream Defenders, said they organized the march to "stand against racial profiling, institutional racism and the legacy of violence that continues to plague young people of color."
Read the full story here.
The night Trayvon Martin was shot to death, George Zimmerman was one of 1,903 residents in his Sanford ZIP code with permits to carry concealed handguns, state records show.
That would be astronomically high in some states, but central Sanford doesn't rank in Central Florida's top 10…
(Source: jerriann)
The girlfriend of slain Miami teenager Trayvon Martin spoke to the family attorneys, detailing the final moments before he was shot to death by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
What does neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman say under his breath during his call to police just before the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin?
A small portion of Zimmerman's already controversial call to Sanford police, in which he described 17-year-old Martin as "suspicious," has drawn new scrutiny online.
Some insist that Zimmerman is heard using a racial slur in the audio, which was released by police last week amid mounting pressure from the community."

After a protracted search for a record company, they eventually signed with the small European label Ariola Records. Their self-titled debut album was highly successful in Britain and Australia. Their follow up double album, "Sky 2", was even more so being the tenth highest selling in Britain for all of 1980.

text: The shorthanded Milwaukee Brewers ended a Miller Park homestand on a sour note, getting shut out by the last place Chicago Cubs Sunday afternoon 4-0. Jason Hammel had a no hitter through five innings and worked 7 to improve to 4-1, allowing just three hits with seven strikeouts. Wily Peralta suffered his first loss of the season after three victories by giving up a pair of solo home runs to Starlin Castro. The Brewers (18-7) still took two of three on the weekend and hold a four and a half game lead in the NL Central heading into a big series with second place St. Louis at Busch Stadium. Milwaukee played without Martin Maldanado who finished the final game of his five game suspension from last weekend's fight in Pittsburgh. Shortstop Jean Segura will be out for several more days after he was accidentally struck in the head by Ryan Braun on Saturday night. Taking warm up swings near the dugout steps, Braun whacked Segura who was taken to the hospital. He needed stitches to close a wound but apparently did not suffer a concussion. Braun also sat out Sunday's game with what was described as a right intercoastal strain. Manager Ron Roenicke says Braun may miss the next several days. Milwaukee will send Yovani Gallardo against Michael Wacha in the series opener in St. Louis Monday night. Pre-game coverage begins at 6;40 PM on WTAQ.

"The mystical is mezmerizing!"
My sister recommended this book and she was right...it is a good read.
The plot allowed me to think I knew Who did it" and Why? Then I was wrong. It carried me along thought snowing nights and ice filled lakes. I seemed real in person and deed.
I will look for this author again and return to this listen again.
"Rich History mixed with human issues!"
I have only listened to this book so I can not compare the written with the audio.
Each character was interesting in there own way and gave debth and interest to the story and cultural/family issues.
I enjoy all of this authors books on tape. The narrator/s have great acents and even better inflection.
"We all need Oxygen and Love"
I have not read the book but I really enjoyed the listen.
This is a thought provocking story with an unexpected but well organized ending. I like stories that make me think and remind me that when I am young and don't know what I don't know, I make different decisions than I will make later after I learn.
"I am a kid at heart....and so is this book!"
I like reading light hearted books so I loved this one. I liked the twists and turns even if they were not complecated.
The voices and personalities were very nice with acents and all.
The fight between good and evil is always a good plot.
"Rich and Real"
I really enjoy this author and this book as much or more than all of the books he had written. Yes, I will listen again and again to catch the details of this multi-tapistry creation.
The readers will miss something special if they don't read all of this authors books for the history, the culture and the personal relationships that all lead to a memorable moments with excellent endings.
"A story "not" about potato's-Exceptional read"
The charactors were interesting and had great debth while the story painted a word picture of a time in history that was new for me.
There were too many exceptional moments to choose just one.
I liked Ms Abicus and found her to be interesting, kind, bright, loving, forgiving and down to earth. She always made the best of every situation and showed that her kindness to others came back to her many fold.
People, like these charactors, are not either good or bad. Their lives offer up challenges and each challenge shapes the person and guides their choices. Bad people might do very wonderful things at times which might seem surprising but cause the reader to have a new insight into human behavior and thinking. I will read/listen to this book again and again to see if I missed any of the interesting details.

Gerald Tyrone Murphy: Police kill barricade suspect, find two bodies
After a tense, 37-hour standoff involving three children, police shot and killed 38-year-old Trenton, N.J. barricade suspect Gerald Tyrone Murphy early Sunday morning, officials announced at a news conference.
"For days, the lives of three children were placed at great risk by the presence of one individual who was their captor, Gerald Tyrone Murphy, age 38," New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes said.
"Today, those children have been rescued from a deadly threat and horrible circumstances at the hands of an armed subject."
Murphy, who is a registered tier-three sex offender in Pennsylvania, is accused of killing girlfriend Carmelita Stevens, 44, and her 13-year-old son about two weeks ago inside a two-story rental at 250 Grand Street.
"Our preliminary investigation has revealed that the murder of Miss Stevens took place approximately two weeks ago, in addition to the murder of the 13-year-old boy," Mercer County Prosecutor Joseph Bocchini said.
Amid the decomposing bodies, Murphy allegedly held hostage three more of Stevens' children – a 4-year-old boy and two girls, aged 16 and 18 – during a nearly three-day standoff with police that began around 3 p.m. Friday.
"During this whole incident, the welfare of the children who were being held hostage was of paramount concern," Fuentes said.
"We passed food and bottled water through an upper window, watching and waiting for the best opportunity to end the standoff safely. That opportunity came 37 hours after the first police response, about 3:45 a.m. this morning."
He said TEAMS – a New Jersey State Police tactical response unit – stormed the home with flash-bang grenades after it became evident Murphy was suffering from "a deteriorating state of mind" and likely to take further violent action.
"Preliminary information from the investigation now being conducted indicates that following our entry, a single shot was fired by our entry team to stop a threatening action against one of the children by Murphy," Fuentes said.
Murphy died from his injures at an area hospital.
The three surviving children were rescued and were on Sunday being evaluated at a local hospital.
"There are also allegations that the 18 and 16-year-old girls were abused and assaulted during the time they were held hostage," Bocchini said.
The children, who were not fathered by Murphy, will be evaluated by state child protective services and placed with a family member.
Trenton Police Department officers responding to the initial call on Friday rescued Stevens' oldest son, 19, who was found hiding inside the basement.
The teen told police he had not seen his mother or sisters since April 24.
"I would say we have every reason to believe that the kids were in the room and that they were possibly restrained during that period of time," Bocchini said.
The barricade touched off Friday afternoon when Trenton police officers responded to the home Stevens rented on Grant Street to conduct a welfare check.
"Police further received additional information from another family member that Stevens' two daughters had not been to school in 12 days," Trenton Police Director Ralph Rivera, Jr. said.
"When officers did not receive a response at the door and, fearing for the safety of the family, they made a forced entry into the home through a rear door and immediately smelled an odor consistent with a decomposing body. The officers also noticed maggots throughout the residence."
He said police heard a man's voice coming from behind the closed door of a second-floor front bedroom.
The man, later identified as Murphy, allegedly told police there was a dead person with him in the room, as well as a second body in a rear bedroom.
Officers forced their way into the rear bedroom, where investigators said they found a corpse "in an advanced stage of decomposition," confirming Murphy's claim.
Murphy then told police he had barricaded three children with him inside the 10-foot-by-11-foot front bedroom.
He also allegedly said he was armed with a handgun and explosives.
Police secured the residence and retreated after recovering Stevens' oldest son.
"Our hostage negotiators maintained contact with Murphy throughout the event and our TEAMS members took up tactical positions from which they could move in quickly when needed," Fuentes said.
Rap sheet
Murphy amassed what Bocchini called "an extensive record involving violence," spending several stretches in Philadelphia prisons since the early 1990s on charges including aggravated assault, theft and firearms offenses.
"He has convictions for aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy," Bocchini said.
"He has also been arrested for robbery and weapons offenses, as well as child endangerment."
Murphy served his longest jail term in Philadelphia after pleading guilty in 2001 to sexual assault, for which he was sentenced to four to ten years' confinement.
"Murphy, also known as 'Skip,' was found to have an arrest warrant out of Pennsylvania for failing to register as a sex offender," Bocchini said.
Online sex offender registry records list Murphy's address as of January 2011 as the Ridge Avenue Men's Shelter in Philadelphia.
Authorities continue to investigate the protracted, complex crime, which now encompasses a police-involved shooting, as well as two homicides and a barricade situation.
