HUMMINGBIRD BAKERY RECIPE: Apple blossom cupcakes
Get ready for your garden parties with these floral inspired cupcakes…
Inject some exciting floral flavour into your Garden Party spreads this summer! These were sold as part of Hummingbird Bakery's summer floral range and proved really popular. This recipe is ideal for more experienced bakers, and variations can be made using different flower teas and essences.
Makes 12-16 cupcakes
For the sponge
4tbsp apple iced-tea powder
3tbsp just-boiled water
80g (3oz) unsalted butter, softened
280g (10 oz) caster sugar
240g (8 ½ oz) plain flour
1tbsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
200ml (7fl oz) whole milk
2 large eggs
For the frosting
4tbsp apple iced-tea powder
50ml (1 ¾ fl oz) whole milk
500g (1lb 2oz) icing sugar
160g (5 ½ oz) unsalted butter, softened
One or two 12-hole deep muffin tins
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F), Gas mark 5, and line a muffin tin with muffin cases.
- Place the apple tea powder in a bowl, add the just-boiled water and allow to dissolve completely. Using a hand-held electric whisk or a freestanding electric mixer with the paddle attachment, whisk together the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder and salt on a low speed until all the ingredients are well incorporated and resemble fine breadcrumbs.
- Place the milk in a jug with the eggs and apple tea and whisk together by hand. Pour three-quarters of the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix on a low speed to combine. Increase the speed to medium and keep mixing until smooth and thick. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the remaining milk mixture and continue to beat on a medium speed until everything is mixed in and the batter is smooth.
- Divide the batter between the paper cases, filling them up to two-thirds. Any remaining batter can be used to fill up to four more cases in a second muffin tin. Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until well-risen and springy to the touch. Leave to cool slightly before removing from the tin, then place on a wire rack to cool down fully before adding the frosting .
- To make the frosting, dissolve the apple tea powder in a small bowl, with the milk. Using the electric whisk or the freestanding mixer with paddle attachment, slowly whisk the icing sugar with the butter until sandy in texture and no large lumps of butter remain. Gradually pour the tea-infused milk into the icing sugar and butter mixture. Once all the milk has been added, increase the speed to high and whisk until light and fluffy.
- Top each cake with a generous spoonful of frosting, then gently smooth over with a palette knife, adding a swirl at the top if you wish.
- To decorate with flowers, adorn the finished cakes with edible flower decorations of your choice (available from most cake decorating retailers).
Cherry blossom cupcakes: Follow the previous recipe, replacing the apple tea powder in the sponge batter with 3 cherry blossom teabags. Put the teabags in a bowl, add 3 tablespoons of just-boiled water and leave to draw for 30 minutes. Add the brewed tea to the jug with the milk and eggs, retaining the teabags for use in the frosting. To make the frosting, first place the teabags in a small bowl with the milk, then leave to stand for 30 minutes. Remove the teabags from the milk, giving them a good squeeze to extract the maximum flavour, and mix the tea-infused milk with the butter and icing sugar, as in step 5.
Orange blossom cupcakes: Make as for apple blossom cupcakes, replacing the apple tea powder in the sponge with 1 tablespoon of orange blossom water and in the frosting with 3 teaspoons of orange blossom water. For the sponge, mix the tablespoon of orange blossom water with the milk in a jug, add the eggs and whisk together before adding to the dry ingredients as in step 3. For the frosting, first mix the orange blossom water with the milk and then mix with the butter and icing sugar.

Great recipe, but does anyone know where to buy iced tea powder- and not Whittards of Chelsea as it's not the powder…
look forward to seeing where to buy the tea powder. Recipe sounds great
I have been to three major supermarkets with no luck finding apple tea, but i did manage to find this apple flavouring on the internet which looks like it would be perfect, if it were a slightly smaller bottle! http://www.foodieflavours.com/shop/natural-flavouring/apple/
I'm thinking about using a cordial apple concentrate, will let you know how it turned out…
Thanks for HUMMINGBIRD BAKERY RECIPE: Apple blossom cupcakes. I just send to my granny..

LONDON (AP) - A British court has sentenced a man to five years in prison for posting gruesome beheading videos on Facebook.
The 42-year-old Craig Slee also put online links to a communique by al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, that encouraged terrorism.
In one of two Facebook pages he created, Slee inferred he was a member of the Taliban and claimed he had been on trips to Afghanistan. But counterterrorism police found Slee had no connection to any terrorist organization.
Det. Chief Supt. Tony Mole on Friday called Slee "a total fantasist" and there was no evidence he was planning an attack. But Mole said the case showed the dangers of misusing material available on the Internet.
Glee pleaded guilty to four terrorism offenses and possessing a canister of tear gas.

Used Bizcraft Market Could Stay Down THrough 2014
The market for pre-owned business aircraft will remain flat for at least another 12 to 24 months and may not completely emerge from the down cycle until 2013 or 2014, according to Freestream Aircraft chief executive Alireza Ittihadieh. Addressing the International Corporate Jet & Helicopter Finance conference in London on February 17, the veteran aircraft sales and acquisitions specialist said that continued uncertainty in the world economy is undermining market recovery. But he also called for aircraft buyers and sellers to be far more realistic in closing the wide gap between asking prices and bid prices. Ittihadieh said that some older business aircraft simply need to be withdrawn from the market altogether to help correct the supply-demand imbalance. He also wants banks to be more willing to lend funds against the value of the aircraft asset, rather than just the credit-worthiness of the borrower, and to be willing to take more risk. A full report on the International Corporate Jet & Helicopter Finance conference will appear in the April edition of AIN.

Bought a Apartment home in 2014 in Greenville, SC.
Karen is very knowledgeable and willing to listen to your needs. My husband and I were set on a certain type of home and in particular neighborhood, however homes do not come available very often in this certain neighborhood. She suggested another neighborhood and we did not take the time to look. After a couple of weeks of searching we finally drove through the neighborhood she suggested and absolutely loved it! It was just what we were looking for. We have two children and wanted to be in a neighborhood that had a play area and wanted to be just minutes from my parents home. That is just what she found for us! So when you are looking for that perfect house, in that perfect neighborhood, you should definitely call on Karen!

This was my first home purchase and I am more then satisfied with the end result. I know Mrs. Schnezler looked out for my best interest when others would have taken advantage of my ignorance. She is direct, informative and definately someone you want sitting beside and not across from you on the negotiation table.

Bought a home in 2013.
Karen stuck with us after we had trouble getting a mortgage due to a short sale in our past, and even helped us find a new lender after our initial application was screwed up by the first. Excellent at getting us into properties we wanted to see, and always good advice.

My husband and I met Karen when we wanted to buy a house. I had contacted Weichert Realtors and was put in touch with Karen. We were both comfortable with her from the 1st moment. She listened to all of our needs and wants in a house. Within a month, Karen had found us the perfect home. She gave us advice on what to look for in a home and also what to look for in a neighborhood. Not only was she a great real estate agent, she became a great friend.

Rihanna & Chris Brown To Collaborate!?
Saturday, February 18th, 2012
No I couldn't make this up! Rihanna has recruited ex boyfriend Chris Brown to drop some vocals on a remix of her new single.
Chris will offer his help for a new mix of "Birthday Cake". In 2009 the couple made headlines around the nation when Brown was arrested for assaulting Rihanna. Kiss and make up I suppose? Rihanna tweeted this on the subject,
"They can say whatever, Ima (sic) do whatever… No pain is forever, Yup! You Know This."
A publication on the new remixed track will be released next week. I'd expect it to hit the radio waves not long after that!
The track has just been released for Rihanna's 24th birthday. Check it out!

In Juan Mayorga's Spanish language play La paz perpetua ( Eternal Peace), outstanding actors from the National Theater Company of Mexico portray a trio of dogs who compete for the position of an elite sniffer dog at an anti-terrorism agency.
The stage is barren except for three folding chairs, each of which represents a dog's territory. The director, Mariana Giménez, wisely chooses to use a small section of the Carnival Studio Theater's stage at the Adrienne Arsht Center. The close quarters intensify the sense of cutthroat competition between the dogs. Occasionally, actor Andres Weiss, the only human character in the play, enters the scene to execute a command or lead one of the dogs away on a leash. Weiss is always accompanied by Casius (Oscar Narvaez). Leaning on a crutch and wearing an eyepatch, Casius, a Labrador retriever, is a veteran sniffer charged with discerning the other dogs' strengths and weaknesses.
La paz perpetua's conceit is that men portray dogs that are, in turn, symbols of humanity. This could easily become gimmicky or even farcical if the actors took their roles too literally. The actors imbue a sense of "dogness." They growl, sniff and drool. They lift their hind legs to mark their territory and snarl when one of their fellow canines trespasses. However, they avoid becoming caricatures by developing unique personalities.
Dressed in a black biker's jacket, Enrique Arreol's Odín is a surly, self-centered Rottweiler mix. He is the play's cynic. Odín finds faults in others and tries to turn his enemies against one another in order to win.
Israel Islas plays the ferocious, alpha dog John-John, an artificially engineered mix of Doberman, boxer and pit bull who is all brawn and no brains. He has the power to destroy, but no common sense.
Marco García plays Emmanuel, a German Shepherd whose name is a reference to the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. The play also takes its name from Kant's notion of perpetual peace. García has the soulful brown eyes and contemplative nature of a philosopher, and as Casius tests the dogs to see how far they would go to fight terrorism, Emmanuel emerges as the play's conscience.
Ultimately La paz perpetua is about human beings and what we are capable of. In the final surprise test, the three dogs are told there is a terrorism suspect at the end of the hall. They are asked if they would be willing to destroy the suspect based on the possibility of his guilt. This is the play's relevant question: To what extent are abuses of power acceptable in the name of the defense of democracy? The play ends on an appropriately disquieting note, considering the complexity of its theme.
Mayorga's dialogues are rich with meaty intellectual barbs; however, the text is at times verbose, which slows down the play's momentum. Nevertheless, La paz perpetua is a fascinating look at the contemporary implications of the global war on terror.

MONDAY, Oct. 31 (HealthDay News) -- Construction workers in the
United States have a high risk of work-related injuries and an
increased risk of work-related illness and death, a new study
Researchers analyzed data from several national sources and
found that a construction worker has a 75 percent chance of
suffering a disabling injury over a 45-year career, and a 1-in-200
risk of being fatally injured on the job.
Hispanic construction workers have a 20 percent higher risk of
dying from a work-related injury than whites, according to the
study authors from the Center for Construction Research and
They also found that people who start construction work at age
20 have a 15 percent chance of developing chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease over their lifetime and an 11 percent chance of
developing dust-related changes to the lung tissue.
The study was scheduled for release at the annual meeting of the
American Public Health Association, held Oct. 29 to Nov. 2 in
Washington, D.C.
"While great strides have been made in reducing construction injuries and illnesses, the numbers are still stubbornly high," Pete Stafford, executive director of CPWR, said in an APHA news release.
"Workers and their families suffer the consequences of disabling injuries, and this research shows it's far too common. So we must continue to raise awareness of the problems and hope to see our research findings put to use to reduce construction fatalities, injuries and illnesses," Stafford said.
Research presented at medical meetings is considered preliminary
until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Mark Silvers was able to watch the taped final episode with nearly 300 of his closest friends and family Tuesday. The former Country Day Hornet survived over two months of The Golf Channel's reality show The Big Break.
Playing well, he still fell down three holes with five to play in the match play format. But with a big flurry of great shots, he won four of the last five holes to win The Big Break Greenbrier.
"This is more than I ever could have imagined. It's been the greatest experience of my life and to have my whole family and all of my friends in Savannah here, it's the most incredible thing. I'm really a lucky person," said Silvers.
With it comes an invitation to the PGA Tour's stop at The Greenbrier in West Virginia.
"This is incredible. This is why you play golf. This is why you turn professional, it's to play on the biggest stage. The Big Break gave me that opportunity and I am very glad that I was able to take advantage of it," said Silvers.
The PGA Tour stop at The Greenbrier will take place during the Fourth of July weekend.

Falcon 50 engine upgrade under way
Premier Aircraft of East Alton, Ill., said it passed the first engineering milestone for its program to upgrade the original Falcon 50 engine (the Honeywell TFE731-3) to a TFE731-4, to provide the "Falcon 50-4" with longer range, increased hot and high performance, better climb and higher cruise thrust than the basic aircraft, according to the company.
The program in March successfully tested the integration of the existing nacelle and new engine nozzle at Honeywell's facilities in Phoenix. Premier Aircraft said the test results "validate the engineering predictions for the first phase of the new nozzle development and verify the Honeywell estimates of thrust and thrust-specific fuel consumption that support Premier's performance estimates for the Falcon 50-4."
The company is offering the first 10 customers $50,000 off the $2.305 million upgrade. In addition, a special MSP rate and engine warranty is provided, as is an extended CZI interval. Supplemental type certification of the upgrade is expected in the fourth quarter.
The turnaround time is about six weeks for removal of the engines, installation of the new nozzles by Honeywell and re-installation of the engines.
As an alternative, loaner engines are available. About four days downtime is required to remove the operator's engines and install the loaners. Re-installation of the upgraded engines requires about 10 days' downtime.

Krisha McCoy, MS
For more than 60 years, studies have suggested that being in the sun may reduce the risk of dying from
(other than
skin cancer). More recent research indicates that people with higher levels of vitamin D in their blood are less likely to develop certain cancers. Similar associations have been made between higher levels of calcium in the diet and reduced cancer risk.
A study in the June 1, 2007 issue of the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
found that women who took vitamin D and calcium supplements were 60% less likely to develop cancer than those who took a placebo.
This study included 1,179 healthy postmenopausal women aged 56 and older. The women were assigned to one of three groups: the first group took 1,400-1,500 milligrams (mg) of calcium each day, the second took calcium plus 1,100 international units (IU) of vitamin D each day, and the third took placebo, or "sham," pills. The researchers followed the women for four years and tracked whether they developed cancer.
During the study, 50 women developed cancers other than skin cancer. Compared with the women taking the placebo, the women taking calcium plus vitamin D had a 60% lower risk of developing cancer. The women taking calcium only had a 47% lower risk of developing cancer compared with those taking a placebo, but that finding was not statistically significant.
One weakness of the study is that it did not distinguish between different types of cancer.
This study suggests that vitamin D and calcium supplementation may reduce the risk of cancer, at least in postmenopausal women. This adds to the evidence that vitamin D may help prevent cancer. Another large study, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), reported no significant link between taking vitamin D supplements and developing colorectal cancer. But the dose of vitamin D was much lower in the WHI study (400 IU per day). More studies are needed to clarify the role of calcium and/or vitamin D supplements in cancer prevention.
In addition to potentially reducing your risk of cancer, calcium and vitamin D can help protect your bones. You can get calcium and vitamin D in your diet. Dairy products and leafy green vegetables are rich in calcium, and vitamin D can be found in oily fish and fortified milk and cereals. Another way to get vitamin D is to spend 10-15 minutes in the sun 2-3 times per week before applying sunscreen. Talk with your doctor to find out if you are getting enough calcium and vitamin D in your diet and from the sun. If you aren't, supplements may benefit you.

The dispute between the ranch, state regulators and the Russians is happening as a bilateral adoption agreement between the U.S. and Russia is going through the ratification process.
Yevgeny Uspensky, an official with the Russian consulate in Seattle, said Tuesday that his government has requested assistance from Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer in arranging a visit to the ranch. Uspesnky said the government considers the children Russian citizens, even though they have been adopted by U.S. parents and have American citizenship, and they have the right to check on their situation.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"I believe they have nothing to conceal. We wanted to meet the kids, just talk. I was not able to understand why access was denied," Uspensky said.
Sterkel and parents with children at the ranch question the Russians' motives, calling it a political stunt timed with the ratification of the adoption agreement, and the parents say the attention could have the effect of damaging the reputation of a program that is necessary for children who are having troubles adapting to everyday life.
Sharon Houlihan, whose 10-year-old son Shawn is a student at the ranch, said she takes offense at the Russians' implications that these children are being cast off by parents who don't love them. Nothing could be further from the truth, Houlihan said.
"I am offended that the Russians who couldn't take care of my children and had them in orphanage would think now that they have the right to come in here and look at what I'm doing and determine whether it's appropriate or not," she said. "These kids come with a lot of things wrong. As a parent you accept the commitment and you do whatever you need to do."
Gigi Davidson, who enrolled her 23-year-old adopted son in the camp at age 18, said she does not put any stock in the state's allegations against the ranch.
"Someone's out to get them and I really don't know why," Davidson said. "This is the only place I know that can help these kids."
Ranch officials have previously refused entry to state inspectors, according to documents from a 2009 lawsuit by the state agency's Building Codes Bureau that has been combined with the licensing lawsuit.
That lawsuit includes an affidavit by state building inspector Rick Cockrell that says Cockrell, a deputy fire marshal, and electrical and plumbing inspectors tried to look at the ranch property in April 2009. Cockrell also asked a law enforcement official along because of what he believed was "threatening behavior" by ranch manager William Sutley.
Sutley met them and denied them access to conduct their inspections, the first time Cockrell said that has ever happened to him. The ranch manager said that only two of 16 buildings on the property were being used by the program participants and the rest were being used as private residences, Cockrell said in the affidavit.
Sterkel repeated on Wednesday that only a couple of the buildings were being used by the children.

The Pioneer Woman ran a cookie decorating tutorial last week that makes decorating seem easy and non-intimidating
I was new to cookie decorating about a year ago.
Here are the crucial things you need:
pastry bag - I use these great disposable ones that come in a 10 pack (I think I bought them in Michaels) - because cleaning them is a pain, but any pastry bag will do
tips and couplers - a #3 or #4 piping tip should serve most of your needs - if you want to do any writing, you'll probably want a #1 or #2 as well. The couplers allow you to use the same bag for different tips without having to empty it.
toothpicks: these are great for two things - a) to put the food coloring into the frosting (I always use gel, not liquid) and b) once you pipe on your frosting, a toothpick is perfect to gently nudge it to cover all the spaces.
I also keep on hand: paper towels, a small bowl of water for dampening towels (to clean off crusted up tips) and I like to use a tall glass or pitcher to fill the pastry bags with.
Whew, hope that helped! You can see some of my experiences on my blog: http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/search/label/cookie%20decorating
You can create some great designs using edible sugar paper. Create layers of 2 or 3 different colours in a decoupage manner and stick them with some very thin icing or sugared water.
I too loved the Pioneer Woman's post last week.
Have to to say it, a ziplock bag is all you need as far as pastry bags go (having to tops be sealable is a real plus). And a large bowl if you want to go with something where you do the background all one color, dipping is way more efficient than piping you can put another design on top or swirl it in while it is still moist.
These are the short cuts I have learned over the years. My mother, sister, and I bake rooms full of cookies every year. And from this I have learned no matter how beautiful a cookie is it doesn't matter unless the cookie and frosting are bomb, so focus on that.
I'll second and third what others are saying about the Pioneer Woman's post with the additional comment that her post was based on time she spent with the author of Bake at 350. http://bakeat350.blogspot.com/ I used her royal icing recipe this past weekend and LOVED it. She also is a wealth of information regarding designs and cookie recipes.
If you're going to be doing any flooding (which is how they achieve that nice smooth glossy look, you should also pick up a couple of flooding bottles at Michael's.
Looks like everyone covered the basics already! And Bridget from BAke at 350 is one of my fave blogging friends and cookie decorators. Can't go wrong there. Check out her University of Cookie site for video tutorials.
My tools:
--12-inch disposable decorating bags (wilton brand, from michaels/craft store)
--standard couplers (wilton, from michaels)
--decorating tips (size 4 and 5 outline, size 2 and 3 for details/writing)
--rubber bands (use to close filled frosting bags)
--MERINGUE POWDER (also at michaels, you'll use this to make your icing, not usually found in the supermarket, so don't forget it on your craft store run)
--food coloring. (you'll find concentrated pastes in tubs at the craft store. Lots of colors, work well, but a bitter taste. I use Americolor soft gel pastes exclusively. Find 'em online or at specialty cake decorating stores)
--toothpicks (already noted, great for unclogging but also spreading icing when flooding)
--scissors (to snip ends of bags)
--sprinkles (fine sprinkles or sanding sugar, great easy decorating tool)
--underbed storage boxes (great if you have cats. I stick a whole tray of cookies in these to allow cookies to dry overnight safely)
Well, the tool to make the cookies in the photo would be a toothpick . . .
Ice the cookie with one color, add a spiral or straight lines with the second color, and use a toothpick to marble.
I LITERALLY just got done decorating my cookies using PW & Bake & 350's tutorials!! I did Xmas trees, wherein I marbled green & white for a 'snowy' effect; and stars swirled to look like peppermint candies. SO easy and SO cute!
I've always liked a site called Karen's Cookies. I found it a few years ago when I was just beginning to bake. It provides lot's of recipes, how-tos, videos, etc.
The site also had printable practice icing sheet which has been super helpful for me.

If you are vegetarian or Vegan I wouldn't use the Ketchup (too much sugar and preservatives) nor the vegetable oil - bad for you. I keep Coconut oil on hand. The flavor was good with my substitutions and then I made it with Spicy Tempeh and it was fabulous!

Meh... It's good but not great. Definitely marinate overnight.

The Play Framework takes a functional programming approach to stream processing (e.g. Comet, chunked responses, WebSockets) by using abstractions called Iteratees, Enumerators, and Enumeratees. When I originally tried to wrap my head around Iteratees, I found that the existing documentation and sample apps were fairly confusing and ineffective for getting started. Since teaching is often the best way to learn, I decided to write a blog post as a way to become more comfortable with functional I/O.

Wow. Don't go to this place if you want anything listed on the menu. Or if you want your order taken within 45mins of being seated. Or if you don't want to suffer at the hands of the slowest, most vacuous waitress ever to serve in NYC. After an eon sitting down waiting for our order to be taken, it turned out nothing we ordered from the menu was in stock. Thanks for telling us beforehand! We ordered oysters, only to be told they too weren't in stock. We ordered hushpuppies instead... but wait... what's that? Oh! A huge plate of oysters being delivered to another table!! We raised this point with our waitress; "oh, yeah, I dunno... I'm feeling kind of confused today". Normally a server acknowledging a mistake like that would try and make up for it somehow, perhaps by not charging for an item or giving a free dessert. Not this time though. The lack of any effort to appease us is the reason I felt compelled to write this review. The food was just OK. The crab cakes weren't crispy enough, the catfish tasted of dirty pond water more than it usually does, and the hushpuppies... well, they weren't oysters. But the mediocre food wouldn't have mattered so much if the service was up to standard. Judging by the other reviews, this place is quite popular, but I will never go back here.

I love Live Bait! It has the old divey, "fisherman's hang-out" feel to it, and serves up some seriously delicious food. I've never had a bad meal here and many times I've been blown away. Has a Louisiana feel to it with things like catfish and spicy gumbo dishes and the like on the menu. Sit down at a table, have some cold beers, maybe some oysters and clams and fill up on some really good seafood. Highly Recommended!
Posted by Kerry on 03/05/2010
This place is my favorite bar in the area, the happy hour prices are great and I love the atmosphere and the service. I don't know what happened with sticker shock, but I've recommended Live Bait to all of my friends.
Posted by delg23 on 02/17/2010
The food is freaking delicious. I've tried numerous items and I have never been disappointed. The people are always nice and the service is prompt.

I stumbled upon this place by accident and absolutely loved it. The service was excellent - friendly and efficient. The crab fritters far exceeded my expectations and the laid back atmosphere was perfect for a quick bite after work. I will definitely go back here again.
Posted by Ed on 02/06/2009
It's 2009. How does anyone get sticker shock? did he/she not look at the menu before going or after arriving? Reviews like that are useless. I happen toreally like this place. The chicken fried steak is delicious and a good value at $15 and the mashed potatoes are definately better than average! Service has always been friendly and attentive without being pushy, even when the place is busy.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/06/2008
Great neighborhood place...and right at the train line. I love their peel & eat shrimp, and their honey BBQ wings. The wings are unique, and always tasty. The service can be harried, but always courteous. This is a fun place...not gourmet by any means, but the prices are moderate. Great place to enjoy some beers and fun food.

After what many considered a disappointing sophomore season, Revenge's new showrunner is taking the show back to basics.
"Last season was very much about destiny, but it got pulled into so many different worlds and got so big and spectacular. So our goal this year is to really take a breath, slow it down and catch up with our characters where they are from where the season ended," executive producer Sunil Nayar tells TVGuide.com. "We're bringing everything back to the world of the Hamptons, and [we] really embrace the lush romance and the intrigue that is the Hamptons."
Sunday nights on ABC are downright deadly, and TVGuide.com has the exclusive first look at this Sunday's lethal lineup!

Remember when Revenge was actually about Emily Thorne avenging her father's death and wrongful life sentence?
When the ABC series premiered last fall, viewers found their new guilty pleasure in watching the soapy, addictive drama that starred Emily VanCamp as an abandoned juvie alum-turned-fearless woman determined to stop at nothing to prove that her father David was not responsible for taking down Flight 197. Although Emily got caught up in a love triangle with Daniel (Josh Bowman) and Jack (Nick Wecshler) along the way, the show rarely veered from its main mission — and that red pen. But has Season 2 lost its way? With its complicated and confusing arcs, the addition of two main characters who aren't very likable — Aidan (Barry Sloane) and Kara (Jennifer Jason Leigh) — and a lack of action and actual vengeance, it seems like Revenge could use some help returning to its freshman season glory.
As Revenge's new hunk on the block, Barry Sloane knows his character, Aiden Mathis, may be walking on very thin ice that could crack come February. It doesn't help that creator Mike Kelley says Mathis "may play a part in what happened in the flash-forward with Jack's boat."

The Sydney Morning Herald reports
Google has begun putting ads on its popular maps pages in Australia, a sign that the search engine giant wants to convert more of the high traffic to its websites into advertising dollars.
Logos for Bankwest, JB Hifi, LJ Hooker, NAB and Chemist Warehouse have started to appear on maps when users zoom in close.
Australia is the first country to trial display ads in maps which, if successful, will be rolled out across the world, the company said today.
The ads look like this
The article continues by reporting that the model will be impressions based for advertisers.
But, unlike Google's usual advertising model where advertisers must bid for certain keywords for their ads to appear in paid for search listings, Google is reverting to a more traditional ad model of charging companies every time a web user sees their logo on the page.
And this being Google it is not as simple as a company paying for its logo to be on the maps. Advertisers must be ''relevant'' to be listed and for Google to allow their logos to appear on its maps pages.
Google is taking its usual approach by putting the user experience above all else, officially, but we all know that this is about money in the long run. This particular addition to maps could be a strong one though, because the visual cue of a logo that has relevance to a search could very well impact search behavior. People want to be led through the search process and anything that involves images speeds that process along more easily. Boy, that really says a lot about us search users doesn't it?
Right now, there is nothing to report as to if this will ever be done outside of Australia. Of course, if there is even a modicum of success you can expect to see this on your maps in the US and elsewhere sooner than later.

All Critics (96) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (86) | DVD (11)
While the film includes several exciting, creatively shot action scenes, the drama is otherwise so shopworn that the violent climax is a relief.
Cage is believable as the brooding lone-wolf gunman, but the "hit man screwing himself by growing a conscience on his final kill" ploy needs to be put down for good.
This is as stale as Tuesday's Phad Thai, from its exhausted mythos of the surgically efficient, omnipotent hit man to the training scenes in which Joe explains the trade to the new guy, to the inevitable betrayals of the third act.
Awatchable, but dull action flick with not enough body count to satisfy the average mixed martial arts fanboy.
There's a charming restaurant scene, some nifty hand-to-hand combat and the cast is great looking. But pretty much all the things that made the original so original are filtered out of this un-original.
A promising film about a hit man that ultimately gets wacked because its star isn't suited for the role at all.
At six foot plus, with his hair-plug mullet and his ice-white teeth, Cage sticks out like a sore thumb among the tiny Thai citizens, making for the most conspicuous hitman since Agent 47 rocked the bald head 'n' barcode combination.
This has the look of a cheap quickie foreign film, not unlike a Hong Kong action film.
Between all the dates and dinners, Bangkok almost ends up being as less thriller and more travelogue; by the hour mark, there are literally more gulps than gunshots.
A by-the-numbers retread that's ill-conceived as an action vehicle for Cage.
o Nicolas Cage na periferei tis ektos eleghoy sapoynoperikes toy moytes kai ti geloia malloyra toy, se ena pompodi poiitikistiko ahtarma, poy bromaei ap' opoy ki an ton piaseis
[Cage is] funless, scowly, grim, and steroidally impervious to the fleshy and salacious good cheer that surrounds him.
The film isn't overtly heavy-handed in its violence, but it doesn't provoke enough surprises to keep the mind from drifting -- a poison pill for an action film.
A perfectly uninvolving tale of errors acknowledged and manhood proved.
It's garbage. Cage better be careful. If he keeps this up, he'll wind up just like Val Kilmer doing straight to DVD junk.
Nicolas Cage parece determinado a sabotar a pr�pria carreira... e muitos outros atores j� teriam, em seu lugar, sido rebaixados a produ��es lan�adas diretamente em DVD
Not to be a contrarian, but as predictable as the movie is, its events often feel as if there were no alternative. The Pang brothers, besides being artisans of action and suspense, tell a good story -- or maybe I'm simply suffering from heat and Hurricane
Neutered, but pretty, and lacking any real development, this is the cinematic equivalent of a eunuch whose voice unfortunately broke pre-castration
This one may have oozed on over into September, but it's every bit as bad as the previous month's studio-floor sweepings.

Hands-on Activity: Powering Smallsburg
Educational Standards :
Pre-Req Knowledge (Return to Contents)
Lesson 8 of this unit, Powering the U.S., is strongly recommended.
Students need to know how to add whole numbers. Some background on electricity would be helpful, too.
Learning Objectives (Return to Contents)
After this activity, students should be able to:

For the entire class to share:
Introduction/Motivation (Return to Contents)
Why do lights turn on when you flip the light switch? (Answer: You provide the lights with a source of power or electricity when you turn on a light switch.) Where does that electricity come from? Depending on where you live, there could be a number of right answers to this question. There are many different ways to make electricity and many different sources of electricity. Electricity can be generated from water, wind, solar (the sun), nuclear and coal power. An electric power plant is a collection of buildings and structures used to make electricity.
A power plant will use either renewable or non-renewable energy sources. A renewable energy source is energy that is replaced at the same rate or faster than it is actually used. One example is a hydroelectric dam, which uses water to make electricity. (Though it would not be renewable if there was a drought, and the water level behind the dam started dropping!) Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight (solar) to electricity. They are a renewable energy source for the next billion years or so (or at least until our sun becomes a white dwarf star!). Do you think wind turbines are a renewable or non-renewable energy source? Well, as long as there is wind, then wind is a renewable energy source. Both wind and solar energy sources need to be able to be stored in order to work during times of the day when it not windy or sunny. How about a biomass power plant, where trees or some other plant are burned to make electricity? (Answer: Biomass is renewable because you can plant more trees to replace the ones you use for energy.)
Unfortunately most of our electricity in the U.S. comes from non-renewable energy sources. Non-renewable energy resources are used at a much faster rate than they can be created. Two examples are nuclear (Uranium) and coal. Nuclear power plants provide about 20% of U.S. electricity using uranium. Estimates for how many years there are left in the world's uranium reserves range from less than one hundred years to several hundred years. We have a limited amount of uranium which is why it is a non-renewable energy source.
Half of U.S. electricity comes from coal. The U.S. has some of the largest coal reserves in the world. We could continue providing electricity from our coal for the next 100-300 years, depending on how much our electricity use grows. Does this mean that coal is a renewable or non-renewable energy resource? (Answer: Coal is a non-renewable energy source because the amount of coal in the earth is also limited.)
Engineers learn about the different types of energy sources in order to figure out which type of energy is best to power a community. Renewable energy sources may sound better but the technology to use them is more expensive right now. Non-renewable energy sources, like nuclear and coal, are not as expensive, but they may pollute the environment and affect people's health. Today, we are going to act like power engineers and help the new community of Smallsburg decide on which type or energy source is best for them.
Procedure (Return to Contents)
Before the Activity
With the Students
(Tell students: Power plants are sized by the amount of electricity that they are expected to cover. For example, a mall may require 20 MW (MW means mega-watts, which is a measure of electrical power) for all the lights, air-conditioning, cash registers, escalators and etc. inside. So, the power plant that services the community must have at least a 20 MW capacity to service the mall. The same community may have a school needing 1 MW, a sports stadium uses 10 MW, a hospital 15 MW, and a few offices need 4 MW. Therefore, the power plant, or a combination of power plants, needs to provide a total of how many MW of power to the whole community?) (Answer: 50 MW, the sum of all needs listed above).

Worksheet: Have the students complete the activity worksheet; review their answers to gauge their mastery of the subject.
Post-Activity Assessment
Presentation: Have students present their power plant choices for Smallsburg and describe why they chose the power plants that they did in the activity. Ideally there will be quite a range of community designs – some will focus on reducing emissions and use of renewable energies, while others will spend less on power production and have more to spend on development but with increased pollutant emissions.
Activity Discussion: Review and discuss the activity with the entire class. Ask the students to think about what changes they would make as the power engineer for the city if they had less money to spend. How about more money? Use the answers to gauge students' mastery of the subject.
Activity Extensions (Return to Contents)
Have students research a particular type of power plant. Specifically, students can research the type of plant in their area that fuels their home or school.
Have the students develop of list of renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Then, have the students do some research and rank the list in order of most expensive to least expensive. What are some requirements for each type of energy source to work?
Activity Scaling (Return to Contents)
For upper grades, have students complete the worksheet on their own. Then, have the students defend their choices in a journal entry or class discussion.
For lower grades, go through the worksheet scenario as a class. Also, you can simplify the problem by reducing the number of power plant options.
