Caligdong comes to the rescue of Azkals against Vietnam

BANGKOK—Since the countries that comprised Group A of the 2012 Suzuki Cup encamped in Bangkok last week, Vietnamese head coach Phan Than Hung has mostly shunned the media (save for an ambush interview I was able to conduct). In his place, team manager and Vietnamese Football Association General Secretary Ngo Lec Bang has done all the talking.
Two games played. One point accrued. And another stinging loss to the Philippines following an 86th-minute goal by Chieffy Caligdong (off a delicious chip of an assist by Angel Guirado). It was time for Hung to face the music.
When Hung faced the media horde at the press center of the Rajamangala Stadium, it looked like he had not slept one wink and would not be getting any afterward.
"The worst match since I took over. I am unbelieving," he said.
In the Red Warriors' buildup to Bangkok, they lost to Turkmenistan, 1-0; beat Laos, 4-0; upset Malaysia, 1-0; and drew with Myanmar, 1-1, in their first game of the Suzuki Cup.
There is enormous pressure on Vietnam for sure. After the fall of the Red Warriors in 2010, Henrique Callisto was fired, a shocking end for someone who led them to the Suzuki Cup title two years earlier. The previous coach had a 3-2 record and was let go. Who knows what fate awaits Hung when the tournament is over and they fail to advance?
In the return bout at the Rajamangala Stadium, it wasn't quite like 2010 where the Philippines was mostly on the defensive as the Azkals preferred to strike on the counter. This batch of Azkals engaged Vietnam from the get go and the resulting 1-0 win, was well, well deserved.
Let's break it down.
Defense was solid
THIS was probably the best-coached game for some time by the staff—fantastic adjustment before and mid-game.
The defense was compact. Sure, some balls slipped through but there will always be balls that slip through. Watching the defense switch to a 4-5-1, the Vietnamese did not have much room to maneuver or to even shoot. Vietnam striker Le Cong Vinh had at least one person on him all the time. If he turned, there was another Philippine defender on him. The Red Warriors could not really get a shot inside the box and had to tee off from outside.
In the first game against Thailand, the War Elephants would blow by our wing defenders for crosses although Dennis Cagara (on the left) and Ray Jonsson (on the right) were quick to recover. In this game, they were a step faster. Jason de Jong and Jerry Lucena were silent operators, making good stops and crucial in clogging the middle.
Rob Gier is the top man on defense. He is to this team what Aly Borromeo was to the Azkals in 2010. If the ball got past Jerry Lucena or Jason de Jong (and Juani Guirado on one or two occasions), Rob cleaned up the mess.
If the ball did get past him, there was Ed Sacapaño.
Why Sacapaño is a national player
IT is amazing what confidence can do to a person. Some quarters would opine that Sacapaño was the token Pinoy in the goalkeeping corps behind Euro-based studs Neil Etheridge and Roland Muller, but following his stellar performance in the Peace Cup and the Singapore friendly where he did not let a ball past him, his confidence is up and at an all-time high.
In the first game against Thailand, there was one instance where he rushed out haphazardly and a War Elephant headed the ball toward an empty net. Luckily for the Philippines, the shot was wide. Sacapaño realized that he should have not done so and he had dodged a bullet. He tapped his chest to acknowledge his mistake. Defender Juani Guirado gave him a low five in encouragement. He has been stellar since.
How many saves did he have against Vietnam? Six or seven? Great saves including that powerful volley by Le Tan Tai in the 86th minute where Sacapaño instinctively threw up a hand that redirected the ball to the crossbar and out.
Sacapaño did the Philippines proud and from now on, the Vietnamese will not only see Etheridge, Chris Greatwich and Phil Younghusband in their nightmares but also Chieffy Caligdong, Angel Guirado and, of course, Sacapaño.
Substitutions worked
GOOD decisions on the starting eleven. Even better decisions, timely ones I might add, in the substitutions.
The coaching staff made good reads. The defense was solid. And the offense needed tweaking with James and Phil Younghusband and Paul Mulders unable to convert.
Before the kickoff of this tournament, Caligdong mentioned that he would love to make a contribution to this campaign. In the last Suzuki Cup, he got injured in the qualifiers and got hurt in the group stage opener against Singapore. In his place, Roel Gener started and played well.
Caligdong resurfaced with that spectacular goal against Mongolia in the Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup Qualifiers.
In the opening match against Thailand, he looked out of sorts as he misread balls and got beaten by opposing midfielders.
Against Vietnam, he conspired with another sub in Angel Guirado for a couple of chances before the chip in the 86th minute that led to Caligdong beating one defender and firing the winning goal for the win.
Caligdong noted that he was getting in on the years with this being his fifth appearance in the biennial football tournament. He, of course, doesn't know how long he can do this (he is 30 years old) but think about this: in his first game in the Tiger Cup in 2004 (as the tournament was called then), he came off the bench to score two late goals for a 2-1 win over Timor Leste. He added one later in a losing effort against Thailand in the same competition. And now The Chief struck again for the win.
The goal was also made possible by Angel Guirado, who started slow but showed great effort in tracking back and in trying to jump-start a sputtering offense. Angel made two great runs.
In the first, he took a pass on the right wing, kept the ball in play while beating a defender and blasted in a shot where a defender literally threw his body in the ball's path just to block the shot. The second another run that led to Caligdong's goal.
Guirado has been a terrific addition to the national team after 2010 and has even played great club football with Global in the last season. He was one of the stars in the successful Challenge Cup campaign and is showing in this Suzuki Cup why he is being counted on to tow the Philippines into the next round.
Southeast Asian football topsy-turvy but Philippines consistent
IN 2010 if there were any teams that disappointed, it was Thailand and Singapore as they failed to advance to the semifinals.
In this tournament, defending champion Malaysia was shocked by a resurgent Singapore, 3-0, while Vietnam is fast fading. Incidentally, the two are the past two Suzuki Cup champions.
For all the regional upheavals in football, the Philippines has been consistent and continues to rise. Of course, one win doesn't mean we are through to the next round, but if you look at the overall picture, the nationals clearly threatened Thailand and showed that the previous win over Vietnam was no fluke.
In over two years' time, the team has made great strides. The nationals have made the Suzuki Cup semifinals once (and hopefully twice if we can get a win against Myanmar in the final group assignment), crashed the second round of the World Cup Qualifiers, finished third in the Challenge Cup and won the Peace Cup (previously the Long Teng Cup).
The strides sure don't look to stop any time soon.
We hold our fate in our hands
FOLLOWING the results of Tuesday's matches, Thailand has booked itself a semifinals seat with a 4-0 thrashing of Myanmar, while the Philippines has climbed to second place. Vietnam and Myanmar are in third and fourth place, respectively, because of the goal difference (the former is at a minus-one goal difference while the latter has a minus-four).
This Friday the Myanmar-Philippines and Thailand-Vietnam clashes will kick off simultaneously at 8:20 p.m. Bangkok time. The Philippines's match will be played at Muang Thong Stadium, home of Thai Premier League champions Muangthong United, while the Thailand-Vietnam tiff will be at the Rajamangala Stadium.
For the Philippines to advance to the semifinals, they must go for a win to avoid any complications. A win offsets any upset intentions by the Vietnamese against the host Thais.
Should Vietnam win and the Philippines draw with Myanmar, it will go down to goal difference.
The surest bet to advance will have to be taking home the three points.
Cards will play a factor in this match. If a player is docked a second yellow in the final group match, the suspension will carryover to the semifinals. Other than that, the slate will be wiped clean. It is possible that because of this, coaches might consider changes in their rotation.
Thailand's Winfried Schafer might opt to sit striker Teerasil Dangda who has four goals to his name in two matches. Does Teerasil sit for their match against Vietnam?
For the Philippines, Paul Mulders, Eduard Sacapaño, Rob Gier, Jerry Lucena and Phil Younghusband all have one yellow card apiece.
Myanmar's David Htan and Kyi Lin and reserve players Kaung Sithu and Thet Naing all have one yellow card each.
The final matches of Group A will definitely bear watching.
Lucena to miss crucial Myanmar match
Jerry Lucena flew back to Denmark on Wednesday morning as he was recalled by Danish club Esbjerg for a match this Saturday.
Azkals Team Manager Dan Palami attempted to secure Lucena's services for the crucial and final Group A match against Myanmar in the 2012 Suzuki Cup this Friday, but was unable to do so.
Lucena, who plays either as a defender or a defensive midfielder for Esbjerg, described his Suzuki Cup experience as "wonderful."
"I didn't do so well in the first game [a 2-1 loss to host Thailand]. Maybe because it is the opening match and I wanted to do better in the next game against Vietnam," explained Lucena. "It was a good win [the Azkals repeated over Vietnam, 1-nil to move up to second place in the group standings] and I am happy to be a part of the game and a the big victory. I want to play against Myanmar but I have to go back."
It's a 14-hour flight from Bangkok to Denmark where Lucena's club, eighth-placer Esbjerg (4-7-7), will be playing an away match at TRE-FOR Park, home pitch for fourth-running Odense BK (8-4-6) in the Danish Superliga. "But I trust the guys. I will see everyone in the semis."

A nun on "The Voice" in Italy stunned not only the judges and the audience but also her fellow nun sisters who can be seen in the video clapping and dancing as 25-year-old Sister Cristina from Sicily performs Alicia Key's "No One." During her performance on "The Voice," the nun shared her talent with judges J-Ax, Noemi, Piero Pelù, and Raffaella Carrà, while her fellow nuns excitedly supported her backstage, reported the Daily News on March 20, 2014.
Within only a few seconds, Sister Cristina did not only have the judges in amazement but also the audience who gave her a standing ovation.
Wednesday night's YouTube video of the nun performing on "The Voice" has already received more than 10 million views and while it is memorable to see the judges go from relaxed and doubtful to being stunned, watching the 25-year-old's colleagues from the convent excitedly support her from backstage is priceless.
"If I had found you at Mass I would always be in church," joked one of the panel, an Italian rapper known as J-Ax, who then added: "You and me are like the devil and holy water."
After the nun performed on "The Voice," she is joining J-Ax's team since he turned his chair first, and of course she will proceed to the battle rounds. When asked what the Vatican might think of her performance, 25-year-old sister Cristina replied, "I hope that Pope Francis will call me now."

Kconfigure source rpm build errors
There were some problems building kconfigure from the source rpm.
1) Spec file in SRPM uses %setup -n %{name}-%{version} while the tar file doesn't have a version number. Fix is to remove "-%{version}".
2) Spec file cd's to $HOME just before building the file list. That should be "cd %{buildroot}
3) The spec file references %{distversion} which is probably not set in .rpmrc.
My guess is that the SRPM is not the one used to build the distribution RPM.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Ackman drama: Did J.C. Penney just hit rock bottom?
Whether the activist investor's decision to quit the board was voluntary or not, the fact that the chain of events leading to his departure became so public is a sign of just how bad things are at the retailer.
For most of the U.S. retailing industry, Wednesday's headlines brought something to savor, even celebrate: the news that retail sales climbed another 0.2% in July, while the data for June was revised upward to show growth of 0.6%.
Then there is J.C. Penney (JCP), where a battle between activist investor Bill Ackman and his fellow board members reached a point of no return.
Whether Ackman's decision was voluntary or not, the fact that the chain of events leading up to the departure became so public is startling -- and a sign of just how bad things are at J.C. Penney. While some analysts have suggested that Ackman's resignation clears the way for the board to concentrate on what it needs to do to save the iconic retailer from complete collapse --starting with recruiting a new CEO -- the market doesn't seem to see it in that upbeat a light: in trading on Tuesday, J.C. Penney's stock plunged another 3.7%, hitting a fresh 52-week low. The shares continued their slide Wednesday, though they were paring losses Thursday.
While other retailers have benefitted from modest to healthy gains in same-store sales, the confusion surrounding Penney's strategic direction has taken a toll on customer loyalty and caused shoppers to drift away to the host of other retailers, online or bricks and mortar, vying for their business. "They are one of those retailers that seems almost eager to donate its market share to its rivals," says one retail industry analyst. Companies like Target (TGT) might want to consider sending flowers and chocolates to Ackman and his fellow board members.
It has been three years since Ackman started snapping up shares in Penney, convinced that he could execute a turnaround in the retailer's fortunes. Alas, the individual he chose to oversee the overhaul, and even publicly labeled the Steve Jobs of the retail industry, ex-Apple exec Ron Johnson, turned out to be a failure in the post. Far from focusing on Penney's customers and what they wanted and expected the store to be, he instead decided to make Penney trendier.
Accordingly, he banished discounts, alienating existing customers, and when the turnaround didn't draw droves of hipsters in quest of affordable merchandise, same-store sales plunged by 25%. Ackman backed Johnson until long after nearly everyone else had given up hope that the CEO could work Apple-style magic on the stodgy old-fashioned department store. Eventually, though, even Ackman had to concur with the decision to oust Johnson last year. That move may have been too little, too late.
It's highly unusual for the furious rift between Ackman and his fellow Penney directors to have become so public. Starbucks (SBUX) CEO Howard Schultz captured what a lot of other veteran board directors said privately when he told CNBC's Maria Bartiromo that the decision by Ackman to release two letters he had sent to his fellow Penney directors was "a despicable act" and "irresponsible." One of those letters demanded that the board replace interim CEO Mike Ullman within six weeks; the other asked chairman Tom Engibous to step down as well, since he had lost Ackman's confidence.
Schultz, it must be said, completely lost his cool. Ackman and Johnson "pulled off this strategy that has fractured the company and ruined the lives of thousands of J.C. Penney employees and fractured shareholder value," he said. It's possible that at least part of his ire stems not from Penney's own woes, but from Ackman's diss to Ullman, who is also a member of the Starbucks board.
Schultz's rhetoric highlights a reality of corporate governance, though: Rightly or wrongly, directors tend to have each other's backs in tough times. That's how they can keep working to try to salvage a company like Penney that is battling for its survival. A public declaration that essentially calls the board lackadaisical and charges that it's failing to act in the best interests of shareholders invites eager lawyers to sue not just the company but the directors themselves.
Clearly, the actions (or inaction) of the board members should be scrutinized, along with those of Ackman, Johnson and Ullman. The sum total of their decisions has been to bring a retailer facing some headwinds to the brink of total collapse. But this kind of public calling-out on Ackman's part could end up making serving on the board of any company facing challenges a more risky proposition, and thus one even less likely to appeal to those best suited to the task. Those top candidates and happen to be the ones who have their pick of board seats.
The current J.C. Penney directors are, at least for now, locked into backing Ullman, who struggled to solve the company's challenges as CEO from 2004 until 2011, prompting Ackman's involvement. But they must find a way forward. Returning to the old strategy isn't an option, and Johnson's ideas weren't working. Attempts to blend the two approaches in a kind of makeshift way has simply left both shoppers and Wall Street confused. J.C. Penney is left with few leaders that have a lot of credibility, and not much time left to maneuver.
Nor is the bad news at an end: Next week brings the release of the company's quarterly results. Wall Street is predicting that Penney will announce a loss of $1.07 a share, compared to a loss of only 37 cents in the year-earlier period, with revenues plunging again.

Go aweeey.....no wait..come back! (I can't spell)
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
i feel like nicki minaj has seizures when she's recording her songs but her producers force her to keep going
So I told her, "…No one needs your attacks and sarcasm. Stuff like that is what makes teens in society feel like suicide is an option. You are an actual bully Kat."
she said no one cares
I asked, "So if I commit suicide you wouldn't care?"
She practically said she wouldn't care if I killed myself tonight
Now what if I was really going through something and she was the last person I spoke to.
People like her make me sick to my stomach.
You are a bully Kat who would be okay at gaining a tumblr note for the expense of a person's suicide.
People always be nice and stop the bullying, you never know what a person is going through.

(This is part of the AJC's "30 in 30″ series — with quick hits on top high school football teams across the metro area and state during spring football practice. We're doing 30 football teams in 30 days. Click here for a master list. Hey AJC, what about spring sports? You know, the non-football sports? Go here)
St. Pius has one of the Georgia's top cornerbacks in Geno Smith, a rising junior who already holds an early scholarship offer from Auburn.
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound is considered a "true cover corner" and an impact player on the St. Pius defense, which heavily contributed to the team's 12-1 record last year — which tied for the most wins in a season in school history.
Smith had 44 tackles, along with 2 interceptions and 7 pass breakups, as he was rarely challenged by opposing quarterbacks. Along with Auburn, Smith also has early offers from Louisville and Virginia Tech. He is also under consideration from numerous other SEC and ACC schools.
How was spring practice at St. Pius? The Golden Lions were one of the state's first teams to go through it, so early that you could call it "winter" practice. It was held in January because of a lack of field space due to the impending spring sports.
St. Pius has to replace four offensive lineman, both defensive ends, and two running backs. Here are some of the top returning players:
Jack Marsau, LB: 89 tackles last years.
Kip Bray, OL: Will move from center to tackle.
George Kennedy: Only returning RB, will also play some DB.
Collier Williams, OL: Moving from guard to tackle.
Trey White, QB: Big surprise as sophomore last year, with 134 carries for 938 yards and 10 TDs, along with completing 39 of 68 passes for 663 yards and 9 TDs.
Alex Avant, FS: Another member of stellar defensive secondary.
Selwyn Mallah, SS: Hard hitter had 24 tackles last year.
"If the (offensive and defensive line positions) come together and we find that guy who can take the fullback position, I believe we can make another run at the region championship," St. Pius coach Paul Standard said.
Team: St. Pius Golden Lions
Last year's record: 12-1
Starters lost: 11
Head coach: Paul Standard

St. Pius beat Marist twice in a row, so Marist took them off their schedule . . . War Chicken!
May 25th, 2010
12:00 pm
War Chicken – Would you expect anything less from the great Coach Chadwick?????
UGA – are you going to let another top recruit leave the state?
May 25th, 2010
12:18 pm
Get A life War Chicken. Learn the facts. Since YOU-St. PIUS- dropped down to 3A and Marist stayed in 4A they are now in two different regions (evidently that is not obvious to some). With the new region realignment, Marist is forced to play in a larger region, which has been known as the Baby SEC for years, and thus has region commitments so there is no room for additional games. So get over yourself. Get a ring and then we can talk, 1968 was a long time ago.
May 25th, 2010
12:32 pm
War Eagle – Yes, Pius dropped to AAA (where they legitimately should have been all along). Yes, Marist remained in AAAA (choosing to play up from where they would legitimately be classified) and they play in a difficult region. So what? They still have room on their schedule for non-region games and a loss to Pius wouldn't affect the region standings since it would be a non-region loss. The fact is the great coach Chadwick has no backbone. He loved the Pius/Marist rivalry when it was one sided in his favor. Now that Pius is fielding competitive teams he wants no part of it.
May 25th, 2010
12:41 pm
War Eagle – As you suggested to an earlier poster, get your facts straight. Marist DOES NOT play in a larger region than St. Pius. Marist plays in 6-AAAA which is a 12 team region while Pius plays in 5-AAA which contains 14 teams. Both teams have non-region games on their schedule.

Geno is great character and hard worker any college will do well to have him on their roster. He is also a stud ball carrier. Im sure Marist also remembers him taking it to the house with about a minute left this past year just to add some icing to the cake.

Don't know how Marist got drug into this conversation since the
article is supposed to be about a Pi High DB receiving a scholarship

Marist, by the way, bites the Big One.

Geno locked down the likes of Antonio Goodwin, Zach Witchett, Julian Horton, Damian Swann, and Lamar Zanders… he was possibly the best lock down corner in the state last year, as a sophomore.

This young kid is being raised by a single mother Gina Matias. She is a Pi High graudate! They are very humble and love each other immensely.He listens to his mom! She is leading him tthrough spiritly,academically and she recognized he was a born athlete having physical strength,skill and endurance at the age of four years old.Congratulate this kid! Don't allow this one offer cause you to make unkind comments about the schools, coaches,etc. This kid is a sophormore. Stay focused and mannerly Geno Matias Smith ! Gina R.

Yes I'm a Marist Dad but like Pius so was interested in the article. Why a Pius knucklehead has to bring Marist into the article is baffling. To set the record straight, Marist does not have an open slot, which is why they're not playing this year. To say Chadwick would shy away from Pius is laughable, and true Pius fans know it. And BTW, Pius is a AAA school that whined its way down to AAA. Marist is a AA school still playing up two classifications. And we're ducking Pius? Pleeez!

to AAA? Whining – have you seen chadwick on the sidelines and read his quotes??? Booo-freakin-hooooo. He's a Steve Spurrier wanna be…. minus Spurrier's morals.

I didn't believe it until I looked on the SPX website. Marist off the schedule. Congratulations to Pius. They did it the right way and deserve the satisfaction of knowing they never backed down despite losing all those years.

Hey "Spurrier". The class is established by the GHSA according to student enrollment. However, the school is given the option of moving up classifications but can't move down. Pius whined for years about the 1 1/2 rule that made them move up a class (guess I'll have to explain the 1 1/2 rule to you as well) and how it was unfair they had to play up one class to AAAA. Now that they eliminated the 1 1/2 rule, Pius immediately moved down. Marist, a AA school according to enrollment, chose to stay in AAAA. And won nine, that's nine, state championships last year. Nuff said.

Question for Pius fans, Why are y'all giving Chadwick the blues? Pius could've control the
scheduling issue by playing up in class.

SPX plays in the class according to enrollement – duh, marist fan. You don't
need to explain the 1 1/2 rule to anyone, although we all know you could – so, good for you!
marist chose to play up – great – who cares, really??????????
Pope UGAXXIII – great name!

COOLIDGE, GA (WALB) – We have surveillance video of a bold vehicle theft in Coolidge.
Early Friday morning, police say David Engwiller pulled into the Petro gas station in Coolidge and took off in the store manager's idling truck.
That manager helped authorities catch Engwiller by following him all the way to Quitman in another employee's car.
The manager finally got his stolen truck back this weekend.
Latoya Lurry never had an eventful day at work. But that all changed last Friday when someone stole her boss' truck.
"I didn't believe that would happen in Coolidge, GA. I was like, oh my God, this guy was brave enough to steal a company's truck?"
Lurry was working the cash register at the Petrol station when a man police say was David Engwiller pulled up in a truck that belonged to the city of Light House Point, Florida.
"I'd seen a white truck pull up to the gas pump like he wanted gas, but then I realized he wasn't getting gas cause his license plate was painted orange. So I told my boss, Al, that it was a guy trying to get in his truck. He was like no he's not. He got in the truck and backed out and I said Al, your truck is gone! He said no it's not and I said Al, LOOK!"
When Al Patel realized his truck really was gone, he went back inside and asked Lurry if he could borrow her Nissan Maxima.
"He asked me, Toya where are your keys, where are your keys! All jumping up and down and scared. I said they're right here and he started to take off and I said PLEASE be careful with my car!"
As Patel followed the thief, Lurry called the police. She filled them in on the situation and then called Patel.
"I was calling him every three seconds asking where the car was and if it was okay. I was like please Al please don't wreck my car!"
Patel didn't wreck. But Engwiller wasn't as lucky. He wrecked the truck, giving authorities in Brooks County the chance they needed to arrest him. Lurry is proud her boss was brave enough to take matters into his own hands.
"I was scared, I don't know what I would have done."
Now the truck is back with its owner with only a couple of scratches left as a reminder of that eventful day at work.
David Engwiller remains in jail tonight and faces multiple charges in Brooks and Thomas county as well as in Florida.

Fairy Squash
Inventory, lb : 0
This item was last sold on : 12/09/11
|Windrose Farm
The Fairy squash is available in late fall through winter.
Current Facts
Fairy squash is a hardy, disease resistent and prolific growing hybrid squash of the winter squash family, C. moschata.
The Fairy squash, roughly oval and top-shaped, is lightweight and consumer friendly, weighing an average of two pounds. The squash's rind has variegated patterns with colors of pine and peanuts when young, eventually losing its green stripes with maturity. Its flesh, a rich deep pumpkin orange in color, is dense and moist with a large cottony and fibrous seed cavity. Though fragrant and firm when raw, it gains a rich, sweet, nutty flavor and velvety texture when cooked.
Fairy squash is a very versatile winter squash. It can be used for both savory and sweet recipes in soups, stews, pies, baked goods, roasted and stuffed, whole or halved. Its flavor profiles are similar to butternut squash, thus it can be readily substituted for a recipe calling for butternut squash. Quintessential companion ingredients include butter, brown sugar, rosemary, sage, sesame, ginger, chiles, baking spices, almonds, pistachios, parmesan cheese, pears, apples, raisins, poultry and pork.
The Fairy squash's family, C. moschata has contested indigenous origins, although its cultivation throughout the 17th Century was predominantly in Asia. There are no botanically records of it prior to 1688, but it was first introduction to Europe was via Southern Asia in the 1800's. Wild relatives are indigenous to Central and South America and it has been botanically concluded that all four cultivated species of Cucurbita, C. Pepo, C. moschata, C. maxima and C. ficifolia are of NewWorld origin. Where the Fairy squash entered the picture is still uncertain, though it is known to be a hybrid. It is grown throughout the Americas, Asia and Europe, where it is referred to as a pumpkin. Fairy squashes are a early maturing winter squash, reaching maturity within 90 days. They have a long season and great post-vine storage qualities.

Call us the Goober State. Peanuts, an economic engine in rural South Georgia, represent a value that exceeds $2 billion. Today's topics deal with record crop yields, a slight decline in exports to China, and the potential for growth due in part to health-conscious consumers.
Nuts: The economic health of Georgia
By Don Koehler
In our developed economy, most of us find ourselves taking our needs and wants for granted. Save a weather disruption, we never worry about our food supply and, frankly, the supply of anything. We are fortunate to live in a state with a strong and growing economy.
In rural South Georgia, one of the drivers fueling Georgia's economic engine resides beneath the ground.
In 2012, Georgia farmers produced more than half of the U.S. peanut crop, up from 45 percent. These amazing little peas are a legume, like a pea. Geographically, they are grown below a line from Augusta to Macon to Columbus. Once the farmer harvests his crop, they are further processed in manufacturing facilities that shell the peanuts and process the food consumers love. At the farm level, peanuts are worth just under a half-billion dollars. By the time that moves through the economy, the value exceeds $2 billion to our state.
The last two years have seen the two highest yields in the history of Georgia peanut production. New peanut varieties from University of Georgia breeders and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have been critical to this boost. The Georgia-06G variety led this list with the most acres planted in this single variety. An interesting note: Peanut varieties currently contribute the most annual royalty to the University of Georgia Research Foundation. Revenues are generated, directly or indirectly, from farmers who pay a royalty for peanut seed of varieties that came out of the university's Peanut Breeding Program.
In 2012, we achieved record consumption, with a slight decline in 2013 due to loss of exports to China. Even in light of this loss, good news appeared late last year in the New England Journal of Medicine. The article pointed out the positive health benefits of consuming peanuts on a regular basis; consumption is poised to continue to grow.
This growth will be good news for consumers, farmers and our state's economy. As it now stands, our ability to produce has progressed more rapidly than our consumption. This is a blessing and a curse. We have been successful in the research that molds our production practices, perhaps less so in marketing what we grow. With this new and exciting message to bolster promotion, we can find a balance between production and consumption.
Peanuts have been shown to have a beneficial effect on individuals with adult onset diabetes. They are a heart-smart food, high in mono-unsaturated fat that has a positive impact on blood cholesterol. Peanuts contain antioxidants that help repair damaged body tissue. And peanuts are a powerhouse of nutrition with protein, vitamins and minerals.
Georgia's 3,500 family farmers who grow peanuts hope you never look at peanuts and peanut butter the same way again. They form the foundation for a healthy body and the economic health of Georgia.
Don Koehler is executive director of the Georgia Peanut Commission.
Peanut prices drop
By Nathan Smith
In 2013, peanut growers in Georgia and the U.S. responded to lower peanut prices by shifting planted acreage to other crops. The U.S.'s peanut acreage dropped 35 percent to a 99-year low of 1.07 million acres. Georgia dropped from 735,000 to 430,000 acres for a 41 percent decline, the lowest since 1917.
A record 3.38 million tons of peanuts were produced in 2012; 1.4 million tons were carried over into the current year. The acreage reduction this past year resulted in a total production drop of nearly 40 percent. New varieties such as Georgia 06-G resulted in second-best average yields for Georgia at 4,430 pounds per acre, and 4,006 pounds per acre for the U.S. Overall, U.S. growers produced a larger crop than expected, reaching 2 million tons. The large supply will keep peanut prices down.
U.S. peanuts are consumed domestically and in the export market. Domestic edible use is the top market for U.S. peanuts and represents between 55 and 65 percent of total use. Exports range from 15 to 20 percent. Crush for oil and meal makes up 10 to 13 percent of use. The rest of total consumption is for seed.
Demand for peanut butter was slowed in 2012 when shelled peanut prices rose in response to a short supply before the record crop was produced. The effects carried over into 2013. However, candy and snack use of peanuts has grown. Exports also grew, as India had a peanut shortage in 2013 and briefly suspended exports to China.
China looked to the U.S. to fill a short-term shortage. That market is based on oil production, not edible kernels. Thus, low price is a major factor for China, and the timing was favorable for the U.S. China's purchases helped reduce some of the surplus.
China purchased more than 70,000 tons, slightly more than the United States' No. 1 export market, Canada. As quickly as China appeared in January 2013, it exited the market. India produced a large crop, and exports to China resumed.
Growth of domestic peanut use expected in 2013-14 will be led by candy and snack consumption. Peanut butter consumption should rebound, too. Domestic food use is projected to rise by 3 percent. Exports will fall back without China's presence but still be strong in the traditional markets of Canada, the European Union and Mexico. Crush and seed/residual categories are expected to shrink; the net effect will be a drop in total consumption.
The biggest difference in 2014 from last year is the prices offered for other spring crops that compete for acres and are in rotation with peanuts. Corn, cotton and soybean prices are projected to be lower for 2014. Expansion of peanut acreage will need to be limited to avoid another carryover and lower prices.

Went 30 minutes on the cake and omitted the water. Also recommend sifting the flour over the eggs & sugar, then gently folding it in . I simply sliced ripe strawberries rather than making a sugary sauce. You can poke a few holes with toothpick on top of the cake when it comes out of the over and sprinkle about 2 TB of a liqueur or rum, too. I have also made this recipe with the grated peel of one small orange. This cake looks very fancy, but is so easy!

"Slowly, slowly, full" is how the lovely Italian phrase piano, piano, pieno translates, and it describes to perfection the experience of this multiple award-winning cookbook, dedicated to a style of cooking that involves fresh, organic, local ingredients, cooked classically, lovingly, with attention and care.
More than a decade ago, Susan McKenna Grant left Canada with her husband Michael to become an organic farmer and agriturismo owner in Italy. Gradually she brought their ancient, 165-acre piece of Tuscany, La Petraia, back to its profound and lush glory. Providing Grant with everything from wheat to grapes to olives, and wild boar, hens, rabbits, and deer, La Petraia is a self-sustaining kingdom and a cook's dream domain in the Chianti Classico zone in the heart of Tuscany. With these and many more exquisite ingredients to hand, she presents a repertoire of both classic and modern interpretations of northern Italian cuisine.
Traveling extensively throughout Italy to gather traditional and rare recipes, Grant has uncovered such delicious gems as Seuppa a la Valpelleunentze (cheese soup from the Val `dAosta), Pappardelle Mare e Monte (Pasta of the Sea and Mountain), and Cinghiale in Dolce e Forte (Sweet and Strong Wild Boar). These dishes, and more than 200 others, accompanied by evocative narratives of farm life and gorgeous color photographs of the food and the region, take the reader deep into the secret rural places of Italy. Piano, Piano, Pieno also offers informative, in-depth chapters on Italian breads and desserts, providing a exciting array of recipes for these staples and treats. Unusual in its scope and depth, Piano, Piano, Pieno is an indispensable addition to any serious cook's library.
"Piano, Piano, Pieno is a hymn to the joy of pure, Italian cooking, by a woman who has lovingly nurtured an ancient Tuscan farm into an abundant renaissance. Susan McKenna Grant's recipes, for such delights as pappa al pomodoro, ciabatta, or bigoi in salsa, are clearly presented, and sing of the magical simplicity of Italian country cooking. She writes with gusto of the rich history, in some cases almost forgotten, of the foods and traditions of her adopted Italian home. Bravissima!"--Lorenza de' Medici, author of Italy the Beautiful Cookbook and Tuscany the Beautiful Cookbook
"A lovely book that speaks with confidence and authority about Italian food traditions . . . The recipes are clear and inviting, the writing gracefully informative."--Naomi Duguid, author of Mangoes & Curry Leaves and Hot Sour Salty Sweet

No one likes to be reminded of the mistakes they've made, especially when that mistake is an ex. But alas, sometimes we just can't escape the shadow of a disastrous relationship. Just ask Jennifer Aniston. That's a plague she knows all too well. Eight years after she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, she is clearly still reeling from the hell she went through.
During an interview in the new issue of Glamour, the star talked about how difficult her 30s were -- which happens to be the time when she was breaking up with her husband. Asked what advice she'd give herself at that time, she replied:
Thirties. Go to therapy. Clean up all of the s--t. Clean up all of the toxins and the noise. Understand who you are. Educate yourself on the self ... You can undo a lot of things. If you're not happy, you can become happy. Happiness is a choice. That's the thing I really feel. Like with friends who refuse to get happy, who refuse to rise above the discomfort of where they're at.
Telling, isn't it. It was clearly a painful period of her life and one that she had to live out in front of the entire world. The fact that she would tell her 30-year-old self to "go to therapy" is just further proof how bad relationships really mess with our heads.
Like many women, Jennifer thought she had found The One. Everything was perfect and hot and heavy for a while, then boom. Things start going downhill fast. And no matter how hard you try, you just can't fix it. What's worse, you can't get happy because of that relationship failure. It's only in hindsight do we often figure out what would have really helped at the time. In Jen's case -- talking to someone. That probably would have saved her from years of heartache, blame, and pain.
What do you think of Jen's admission? Can you relate?
Image via Splash
WHAT ^^^^???? Aug 9th 7:43> IT WAS BRAD ON 20/20 with the cast of Oceans 11 who switched channels on Jen....But as usual when Jen responds on Oprah, she is the culprit? Ignorance pisses me off!!!
Jennifer Aniston is a "cruel, evil, deceitful, manipulative bitch"? And you know this how??? Because you're friends with Brad? Because you know Jennifer? Actually spent some time with her? Come on... why do people get this emotionally involved in people they don't know. You seem pretty cruel. Who speaks that way about somebody they don't even know? I don't agree with the fact that Angelina ruined a marriage, I think it was pretty weird that she made out with her brother and wore Billy Bob Thorton's blood around her neck, but I don't think she's evil... She has her issues just like everybody else is. Leave it alone... I don't understand why anything about Brad and Jen is still being brought up? It's been years. Leave them both alone... they're both happy without eachother so just back off. Who cares anymore?

How to Create Powerful Surveys With Infusionsoft
Getting feedback from customers can be difficult…they're elusive or never seem to respond to your requests.
You can relate to this…right?
When have you been asked to fill out a survey from your car dealership, baker, or local restaurant and blew off the time investment to fill out a survey?
I'm not trying to give you a guilt trip or anything. I'm just saying surveys are important and they help out the businesses that are trying to serve you.
Let's Get Down To Business…Shall We?
I'm not going to waste your time by writing about the importance of surveys and why you should or shouldn't use them.
Just use them…plain, simple, goodness, understand?
Instead I'm going to just dive into how to set them up and maximize them for your business, just like the 2012 Ultimate Marketers Jim Cavale & Forrest Walden, Iron Tribe Fitness and some of the others nominees.
Video Transcribed Below:
Alright cool. Let's uh create a cool little survey here.
What I did is went ahead and started and drew in the areas that our survey could get traffic from: our blog, our Facebook, our Twitter account.
Whatever kind of interaction we have. So to create this all I did was get in the campaign builder section. Right here inside marketing. That's all I did and then clicked add campaign.
Since I've already created it let's just click on it, and real quick I'll just build out the skeleton layout. So the goal of this campaign is to get people to fill out a survey. So Goals are right here and these icons just help give you a visual representation they don't necessarily mean that it's going to be just only for newsletters. We'll just change this to read "Survey".
The part that matters is this icon here, which we're building a web form survey. As you can see there are a selection of different type of methods you can use, but instead we're just going to use this one.
So go ahead and click save and we'll make the connection, so we can see what's happening and how it's all supposed to work.
After we add the survey we basically want our customers to go down one of two pathways, and we'll create two different sequences here. Let's make these kind of a little bit more organized looking.
We'll connect them, and this will create a decision point, and the decision is going to be whether they are happy or unhappy. Easy enough right?
Now to just kind of build up on this let's talk about the power of what we can do to follow up with them. If they're unhappy you probably want to try and fix the situation, so the next goal after that would probably be to give them a phone call. I mean I know I would want to find how with "Hey man why are you unhappy and let's try and resolve it."
The icon we use on this one is "A note applied." A note will basically show the user in Infusionsoft, "Hey! Give this person a call because they're not happy." We'll build that a little bit later.
If they are happy we probably want to see if we can get a testimonial from them, so we'll go ahead and use this same icon again and make the connection. We'll change this to testimonial just like so.
Now we have a sequence where we have our customers fill out a survey, they tell us if they'er happy or not and then we get testimonials from our happy ones, and we give a phone call to our unhappy ones.
Let's go ahead and start with the survey and build it out real quick.
When here the easiest way to ask questions on a survey without taking up your custom fields is to add radio buttons.
We'll just create one here and ask, "Are you happy?" And we'll type in "yes" or "no" and we'll save it. we'll just add another one for show, and this one can be something like "Test question" and it can be a yes or no, and let's say we want to add a third one, "sort of" whatever works and then click on save.
The cool thing about radio buttons is it makes it easy for the customer or prospect to fill it out. They just select a box.
If you give them a field to fill out, then they have a hard time doing this. They have to think about, "OK I have to think about what I'm going to say, or what i'm going to write."
The check boxes and radio buttons make it real easy, plus you don't have to worry about taking up custom fields in Infusionsoft.
Just to pretty it up a bit let's throw a divider here, on top of that one and in between the two questions, because it tends to put the bullet points together. And we'll put one below so they're all grouped together.
And we'll adjust the layout real quick. See how all the label positions are on the left side of the form, I like to have all of the label position on top of the questions, so let's just make them "above". That way it look a little bit more uniform, and easy to comprehend.
Finally we'll make the field width a little bit wider, so now we can see its wider. Alright cool! The basic survey is built.
We go to the Thank you Page and make sure you write something good on the thank you page. Don't just be boring and say thanks for filling out our form Bob. They took time to give you feedback and as you know you are busy and they are busy. With them taking the time to give you feed back that's a really big deal, because now you know whether they're happy or not happy, and you know where they're at based on all the questions you asked. This is a lot of information that you're getting from this so thank them and really really thank them for that.
We'll just mark this as ready up here at the top. Click on "Go Back to Campaign".
Now that we're back to our campaign we have a "decision". The reason why I labeled them "Happy" or "Unhappy" first is because when you go to the decision icon which is this little black diamond. It easily tells you which way they are going to go.
If they are happy the options are going to be "Form submission" and we are using a form. Select that we then can choose our option. The option we are going to select is "Are you happy? – Yes" so I select "Yes". And then we'll say that this option is selected. So whenever someone selects "Are you happy?" and they answer "Yes". Then they are going to go in the "Happy" sequence. Make sense?
If they are "Unhappy" then we will go to "Form Submission" and we'll select, "Are you happy? – No" and choose, "This is selected".
You can also add other criteria as well. Just by clicking the little "plus" icon, the "minus" icon deletes them, and this "ellipsis" will give them an "Or" statement. So if they select "Are you happy? – no" OR select "Test question – No" that's selected then we need to put them in the unhappy category.
Easy enough? That's the way the decisions are built right now off of those radio buttons or off of tags. Keep that in mind currently.
As the new updates roll out there will be more features that will make these even better.
With the "Unhappy" sequence it would probably be a good idea to throw in a tag, hey they're unhappy. It's a good idea and another one would be to send them an email. That email would be a follow up that says, "Hey we would love to contact you."
That email would prompt you that some one is going to give them a call, and we'll mark that one as ready as well and go back to the campaign.
You'll notice that when they're marked ready they turn blue, but you have to go in and individually setup each email. The call for the person that owns that record we'll setup is to call somebody. "Call this person". We'll just say, "They are unhappy so call them".
Then we can say it's from me, and the person we're going to notify is me. You can pick anybody inside your Infusionsoft application and notify them that hey this is a note. When they first log into Infusionsoft they'll have a notification of people that they'll need to call on that day based on how you set that up.
If they're happy we'll do basically the same thing. We'll tag them as happy customers and then we'll send them an email that will have a link in it that will go to a form that will ask them for testimonials.
So it's pretty basic and easy to understand. It's just taking a normal survey and just taking the data why not utilize that data to the maximum.
Follow up with people that are happy and get testimonials from them, and if they're not happy then give them a call and see what's wrong and see what you can do to fix it.
This basically is the way the surveys work. Thanks for watching.

Looking for Good Vintage 1950s Party Recipes
Good Questions
Q: My daughter is getting married and her dress is very Marilyn Monroe. So she has decided to do a whole vintage theme including vintage foods for the reception.
What kind of foods would work that are actually good? We have been going thru 50s cookbooks and YIKES!
Sent by Susie
Editor: Susie, this sort of search should be easier now thanks to Mad Men. Yes, the decades are slightly separated, but there should be enough overlap to help you out. Search blogs and the web for ideas for Mad Men-style cocktail parties and soirees.
We also have a similar question in the archives, with over 30 responses from our readers:
• Good Question: June Cleaver Party Foods From the 1950s?
Readers, any fresh recommendations or ideas for Susie?

Hot crab dip, anything involving jell-o (shots totally count)... Pigs in blankets seems to be an evergreen--and they get gobbled up whether or not you're being ironic. For authenticity, go with the Pillsbury bread-in-a-can and cocktail weenies. (Ech.)
For something less authentic and a LITTLE classier (but not much) use puff pastry and actual sausage meat--remove the casings and run a line of sausage meat down a long thin piece of pastry. Roll it up, chill it down, slice it in little rounds, glaze with egg yolk, and bake off in a hot oven (~400) for a good 15-20 min.
If you are a New York Times Subscriber, you can search recipes by date range. I selected 1/1/1950 to 12/31/1959 and got a bunch of hits. One interesting recipe is Eisenhower's beef stew from the 9/28/54 NYT.
there was a top chef masters episode about mad men era food recently that should be relatively inspiring: http://www.bravotv.com/top-chef-masters/season-3/everything-old-is-new-again
I think you could do a lot simply with the presentation... use vintage plates, napkins, glasses, and it won't really matter what the actual food is. :)
I would definitely take a look at Mastering the Art of French cooking - not that it's dated, but it would give some charming, classic options too
Beef Wellington is nice old-fashioned dish. So is Chicken a la King and anything in aspic. And Bananas Foster and Baked Alaska for deserts.
I have a collection of 1950s cookbooks. They are relatively easy to find at thrift stores and used bookstores, and they are nearly always cheap.
Oh, you HAVE to see the Gallery of Regrettable Food...
I'd go for Swedish meatballs in a chafing dish.
I had a casual wedding but wanted nice champagne and real champagne glasses, so I scoured thrift stores and managed to find about 75 beautiful champagne glasses, each for under $1 (cheaper than renting). Many were vintage-looking, the shallow kind. It made for a very pretty table at our wedding!
For food, how about mini burgers/sliders? When I think of the 50's I think of the first fast food, diners, sock hops, etc.
I hope the wedding cake is covered in sea-foam green frosting and dappled with those little silver balls (which are, apparently, inedible).
Another thing to pick up at the thrift store: vintage serving bowls (Pete Campbell: "It's a chip-and-dip.")
This thread on mad Men menu has some good suggestions - for example, celery slices with pimiento cheese, some kind of punch with ice cream in it, nut-studded cheese log, cheese fondue, chips and French onion dip, pineapple upside down cake.
I threw a retro cocktail party a couple year ago that featured an extensive retro menu. I detailed it here in this post; you might get some ideas from it! Some of the most successful dishes where the molded salmon mousse, the baked ham, the deviled eggs, the rumaki, and the cheeseball. Oh and people LOVED the swedish meatballs. If you start with good ingredients and make things from scratch, you can turn some of those scary midcentury foods into fine dining. http://www.alwaysorderdessert.com/2009/12/1960s-cocktail-party.html
Feel free to email me if you have any questions about any of the recipes or want more ideas. My email is on my site.
brini maxwell has some fun vintage recipes and ideas on her website/blog/podcast thing.
@alejandraramos - that party looks great! bookmarking your site now...
I definitely think of diners, mini burgers and cute paper cones of french fries. A big punch bowl, pigs in a blanket, soft serve ice cream cones, deviled eggs... presentation and quality can dress them up. Or 'fancy' tv dinners, you can present them in their compartments but have delicious food :) Rootbeer floats and milkshakes... but I knew there must be more so I googled it and this site might help alot :)
Crab Dip, Stuffed Mushrooms, Stuffed and baked Clams and Shrimp Cocktail all fit the bill.
There's a SF restaurant with a similiar era theme, perhaps their menu might yield some ideas:
@kittykatofdoom -- I was thinking the same thing.
Last year one of my friends served mini beef-wellingtons at her wedding receptions...sooooo good!! But I love beef wellington in general and pretty much anything wrapped in puff pastry.
You might also want to check Gourmet's archives if you can.
Chicken Divan - A classic and it's pure heaven
Lots of people have mentioned good stuff, but I'd go for the classics that still get eaten up: deviled eggs (but you could make yours more modern with additions like capers, wasabi, caviar); stuffed mushrooms; upscale canapes (like smoked salmon); and you can never go wrong with classy pimento cheese (sub in white cheddar and roasted red peppers); and if you're really going for it budget-wise, a raw bar with oysters!
Oh, lotusmoss: no proper Southerner would ever eat a perfectly good deviled egg that had been ruint with that fancy stuff! Why mess with perfection?
Take the 50s classics and modernise them - bit-sized salmon mousse served on mini toasts; corination chicken with mango in it - that kind of thing. Use the popular themes of the 50s, but adapt to reflect current tastes.
Stuffed mushrooms!
@Jezebella -- Agreed!!

"It is very important that they develop their own imaginations and use them. That helped me a lot, and being in Hawaii is great because they spend a lot of time outside. My daughter is 10 and discovered surfing, and she has already found some big waves to ride."
Answer: Matthew Fox
The star of Lost grew up not watching television as a child in Wyoming and learned to appreciate the great outdoors. He and wife Margherita raise their kids on the island of Hawaii and have passed their values on to daughter Kyle, 10, and son Byron, 7.

An actor doesn't let his own kids watch t.v…. Isn't that saying something?

Why the troubled comic will be worth the admission price alone
It smells like a desperate new casting low for "Dancing With the Stars." Andy Dick's only recent claim to stardom was appearing on VH1's "Sober House" in 2009. But I believe the move will result in an unexpected new high. (So to speak.)
Bing: Andy Dick | 'Dancing With the Stars'
Dick is a strange Hollywood character caught in the boundary between comedian and drug addict, tragic and gross, genius and moron. And whichever Dick appears on the show -- if indeed only one does -- I believe that genuine intrigue will result. Or at least genuine polarization, which is pretty much the same thing.

Dick has an undeniable talent for sketch comedy, demonstrated on "The Ben Stiller Show" and his own subsequent MTV series. And he resembles another famous Andy (Kaufman) -- at least in the way he alternates, with a creepy intensity of commitment, between making audiences laugh at his jokes and making them the butt of his jokes.
Yet, in more recent years, Dick's personal problems have completely blinded him to whether his comedy experiments work or not. And the strangest thing is that his failures are just as interesting to watch as his successes -- often, moreso.
Whether it's performing a standup routine in which his supposed AA counselor vomits on him, getting arrested in real life for indecent exposure at a McDonald's, or being forcibly removed from a "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" taping for repeatedly touching guest Ivanka Trump, Dick makes you pay attention the same way you scan the scene of a highway accident as you pass it, wondering how bad the carnage will be and feeling guilty about your curiosity.
Don't get me wrong. There is no possible universe in which Dick's casting won't mean the worst possible experience for his partner (new dancer Sharna Burgess), his fellow contestants, and producers of the show. Even if Dick is on his best behavior, everyone will perpetually fear a sudden swing to his worst.
However, I will be glued to the screen. And, as much as you hate to admit it, you will, too.
How do you feel about Andy Dick?
"Dancing With the Stars" premieres Tues., March 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
