Herman Nackaerts, deputy director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is seeking an agreement to inspect Iran's Parchin military site.
VIENNA — U.N. nuclear inspectors hope to gain access to the Parchin military site during a visit to Iran this week as part of an investigation into suspected atom bomb research, the delegation leader said Tuesday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency aims to finalize a framework deal with Iran in Wednesday's talks in Tehran that would enable it to resume its inquiry, IAEA Deputy Director General Herman Nackaerts said.
He was speaking at the Vienna airport before he and a team of other senior IAEA officials departed for the Iranian capital for a new round of negotiations, which have so far failed to achieve a breakthrough.
"We hope that we will be allowed to go to Parchin and if access is granted we will welcome the chance to do so," Nackaerts told reporters. "We are ready to go."
The IAEA, whose mission it is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons in the world, has been trying for a year to negotiate a so-called structured approach with Tehran that would give it access to sites, officials and documents in Iran.
Both the IAEA and Tehran have said progress was made at their last meeting in the Iranian capital in mid-December, without releasing details.
"We are aiming to finalize the structured approach to resolving the outstanding issues on the possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program," Nackaerts said.

Joan by Corrado Vanelli
Joan of Arc, nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans" (French: Jeanne d'Arc, ca. 1412 – 30 May 1431), is a folk heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in what is now eastern France who claimed divine guidance, she led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, which paved the way for the coronation of Charles VII of France. She was captured by the Burgundians, transferred to the English in exchange for money, put on trial by the pro-English Bishop of Beauvais Pierre Cauchon for charges of "insubordination and heterodoxy," and was burned at the stake for heresy when she was only 19 years old.

President Barack Obama genuinely believed he could buck the second-term curse of fecklessness and scandal that afflicted the last three two-term presidents, even if history - and his adversaries - suggested otherwise.
The combination of clever and determined Republican resistance on nearly every front, bad luck, Obama's overconfidence in his capacity to leverage a decisive re-election victory into legislative clout and his own administration's past mistakes have left the president feeling deeply frustrated, even angry -- and eager to find a way to recapture the offensive.
The mood around 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. isn't gloomy, but it's a far cry from the optimism of his triumphant inaugural address just four months ago.
(PHOTOS: Highlights from Obama's first term)
"I don't think morale is the highest it's ever been," said an Obama veteran. "It's been a hell of a way to start a second term... The gun vote was infuriating, depressing... Then you went from Boston to North Korea to Syria to Benghazi to the IRS" -- referring to last week's revelations that federal revenue agents singled out tea party groups for special scrutiny.
"Plus, you known, there have been a fair share of f--- ups on our side of the ball," the person said.
(PHOTOS: Obama's second-term Cabinet)
Presidential historian Michael Beschloss, tweeting after Obama's string of bad news last week, put it this way: "Every second term I come to wonder a little why Presidents are so unambivalently eager for second terms."
In the days just after the re-election, one senior aide to the president joked that the door jambs at the White House "might need to be widened a bit" to accommodate the boss's laurel-laden cranium.
That's been replaced by a sober realization that the West Wing is probably in for years of endless partisan warfare with the Hill GOP, nonstop congressional investigations, obstruction of nominees, and the infuriating plague of self-inflicted mistakes that seem to afflict presidencies as they grow longer in the tooth, people close to Obama tell POLITICO.
(Also on POLITICO: Dowd blasts Obama on Benghazi)
Despite his reputation for unflappability, Obama is a moody political performer who finds it hard to conceal disappointment or frustration. People close to Obama noticed two telltale signs he's been a little down -- his low-energy April 30 press conference where he bristled at the notion that he had lost his "juice," and his demand for more campaign-style road trips, which has always been Obama's favorite way to regain momentum and improve his own head space.
"One of the things that's working against him is the news cycle. There isn't any news cycle anymore -- it's minute to minute," says Jonathan Prince, a Democratic strategist who helped Bill Clinton navigate the impeachment scandal and the crisis in Kosovo.
"So, the guy has a couple of setbacks and he goes from utterly commanding at his inauguration to toast? The idea that he lost all of juice in nine or ten weeks is just complete crazy... It took three years for Bill Clinton to get there! But that's what the guys [in the White House] are dealing with right now."
The New Yorker's Jeffrey Toobin, who chronicled the Clinton scandals of the 1990s, says Obama's current predicament "doesn't imperil his presidency, but it isn't exactly helpful."
The recent setbacks are putting even more pressure for the White House to deliver a big, far-reaching bipartisan deal on immigration reform to secure Obama's legacy and change the conversation from second-term malaise to a late power surge.
"White Houses are driven by events no one anticipates... it's impossible to know where these investigations -- which I think are politically motivated -- are headed," said Tommy Vietor, a former spokesman for Obama's National Security Council. "But there's plenty of time to complete the legislative agenda. A big victory, and people will quickly forget all of the distractions."
Since January, Senate Republicans have blocked Obama's demand for modest new gun control laws, at least in the short term, as they have blocked dozens of judicial picks and Obama's recent nominations for secretary of Commerce, secretary of Labor, head of the agency that oversees Freddie and Fannie Mae and Gina McCarthy to head the Environmental Protection Agency.
In a potentially more serious developments that hearken back to the open-ended GOP investigations of the Bill Clinton era, House Republican ramped up their probe of the Sept. 12, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya, and began preparing for a new inquiry into Thursday's bombshell revelation that the Internal Revenue Service singled out tea party groups for special scrutiny of their tax-exempt status.
Democrats dismissed both as isolated incidents that don't reflect on the president. Republicans see it much differently, of course: A media-enabled president and his operatives are finally being held accountable for four-plus years of scheming, incompetence and hypocrisy.
"People may be starting to use the I-word before too long," said Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), referring to "impeachment" during a discussion of the Benghazi "cover-up" Friday on a conservative talk radio show.
On Sunday, two more moderate Senate Republicans -- inside players who Obama hopes to court on immigration and other issues -- pointedly challenged the administration to come clean on the sequence of events surrounding Benghazi and the IRS probe.
Calling the actions on groups associated with the tea party and patriot movements "chilling," Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) demanded a personal apology from Obama, an unusually blunt gesture by a senator who doesn't often court public confrontation.
"I think that's it very disappointing the president hasn't personally condemned this and spoken out," Collins said on CNN's "State of the Union," acknowledging that White House press secretary Jay Carney has said the incident needs to be investigated.
"But the president needs to make it crystal clear that this is totally unacceptable in America."
Sen. John McCain(R-Ariz.) reiterated his description of the administration's post-Benghazi statements as a "cover-up" and took the additional step of demanding that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a friend and occasional drinking buddy during their days in the Senate together, appear for a second grilling by the Foreign Relations Committee.
"I'd call it a cover-up in the extent that there was willful removal of information which was obvious," the Arizona Republican said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
He went on to blast Clinton and Carney, who said only "stylistic" changes were made to Ambassador Susan Rice's talking points when she appeared on Sunday talk shows after the attack to downplay the role of organized Islamic extremist groups in the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens and two aides.
"There are so many questions that are unanswered. We need a select committee," McCain said. "For the president's spokesman to say there were only words or technical changes made in those emails is flat out untrue. I like Mr. Carney, but that's just unacceptable for the president's spokesman to say that to the American people."
In calling for Clinton to testify again on the issue, McCain said: "She had to have been in the loop. ...Her response before the Foreign Relations Committee when she said, 'who cares how this happened?' in a rather emotional way. I'd say, with all due respect, the American people care."
The problem for Obama, in the short term, is that Benghazi fiasco has gone from a back-burner annoyance to a serious political problem. Thursday's hearings, which featured gripping testimony from Gregory Hicks, a State Department official who publicly questioned his superiors, didn't have nearly as much impact in the press as the leak to ABC News of 12 drafts of the Benghazi talking points by State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
The emails contained the disclosure that Nuland tried to scrub references, inserted by the CIA, to Al Qaeda and Ansar al-Sharia, a Libyan group that had been suspected of staging earlier attacks in the area. The irony was that Nuland made the changes to spare her bosses attacks from hawkish Republicans -- who are now leading calls for a deeper investigation.
Some administration officials were second-guessing the decision to release thousands of Benghazi-related documents, including potentially embarrassing emails, to Congressional committees in March as part of the deal with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and McCain to allow a vote on John Brennan for head of the CIA.
"It's the gift that keeps on giving," said one Democratic Senate staffer.
If there's any consolation for Obama's team, it's that neither of neither Benghazi nor the IRS revelation seems --for now -- to have the same potential to take down the president, unless investigators discover an Obama-orchestrated conspiracy that rivals Watergate.
The main threat is disruption -- pushing Obama off-message, forcing key aides to lawyer up or leave the administration, creating a siege mentality that robs the administration of its second-term initiative.
"If you stop 10 random people on the street in Cincinnati to ask them about the Benghazi scandal, would even one of them be able to articulate what it really means?" asked Toobin.
"I think Whitewater and Monica started so much bigger in terms of public understanding... But the one thing I've learned is that inside a White House, there's a preoccupation with these scandals that makes it unpleasant on a day-to-day basis for the people who have to deal with it," he added.
"There is limited amount of time and attention for people in the White House and in the press, and it's really easy to think people care more about Benghazi than, say immigration reform. That's a danger."

It would have been great if you had gotten the exercise bug in your twenties, but don't sweat it. Evidence shows that you'll get health benefits no matter when you start, according to Alpa V. Patel, PhD, an epidemiologist for the American Cancer Society. Case in point: Women who work out regularly -- even if they started later in life -- slash their risk for breast cancer by 25 to 30 percent, according to a recent study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. You can expect a slew of other health perks, too: stronger bones, a brighter mood, and a reduced risk for heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.
Your rehab plan: Now that you're moving, the trick is to make your new workout kick stick. Whenever you feel like reverting to your lazy days, remember how being active improves your life right now, suggests Michelle Segar, PhD, associate director for the University of Michigan Sports, Health and Activity Research and Policy Center for Women and Girls in Ann Arbor. Her studies show that women are more likely to keep up their routine when they focus on the immediate payoffs, such as less stress, higher energy levels, and a more positive outlook. "As a result of regular exercise, you're more likely performing well at work, being a better parent, and not snapping at your spouse," Segar says. "When you think about it that way, it's easier to stay motivated."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I think generally compared to the district this school is fine. But, if I were to manage this school and staff I would absolutely have a higher standard of performance. However, I do not believe that this can solely be attributed to the Principal alone. Working in Corporate America for some time now I have learned that you cannot always do what you want or would like to do. You have to consider priorities, politics, and ultimately, funding. I agree that this school teaches directly to the Test. I also strongly believe that they were somewhat forced into that line of teaching as they were in danger of being taken over by the government and/or being closed. Again, priorities were considered and the schools way of teaching reflects that. I do not agree that you are ignored if you are not an illegal alien who does not speak English. It is foolish to claim that injustice as I have always been able to pave my own way through the school and its administration. However, in my opinion, the school staff can be somewhat lazy. It is very off putting when my child's teacher expresses her angst over the Halloween parade and the extra time it takes. I think that is what is missing here; effort.
I agree with the last poster (2013) this school is terrible. It strictly teaches to the test and while the test scores are improving the quality of education is falling of a clift. The parents are ignored for the most part and when called upon are bullied into events with little notice in advance. The teachers and staff are well not exactly rude but they tend act as if questions regarding your child's time this as the enemy. They find every reason possible to take the day off leaving you to hire daycare and then they never assign homework. They never send your child's books home in fear that they may use them harshly. You only talk to the teach ONCE a year and once a month the principal will read the same news letter she sends out to you directly with no more information than what you could have read. She does not encourage you to ask questions and is dismissive of those who do. The teachers on the other hand run the gambit. So are as great as one might hoped they would be others are insecure and defensive. That's not just bad its awkward for any parent who feels something is wrong but doesnt know how to ask. This may have been a good school but is it not that any longer.
I pulled my child out of this school after one year. This school caters to the immigrant community and puts test scores above student growth. Because my child speaks english he was put in the back of the class and received little if any attention from the teacher. There is no PTA, and an english interpreter is needed for school functions such as back-to-school night. Every day begins with the pledge of allegiance at the front of the school, and not one of the parents has the decency or respect to salute the flag. The office staff is horrible! Unprofessional would not begin to describe the manner in which they conduct business. Rude, disrespectful and incompetent. It was as if having to speak english to me was a great inconvenience. All smiles for the spanish speaking parents though... If you are an undocumented immigrant with little/no respect for the tax payer funded educational opportunities being given to your child/children, than Heights Elementary is the place for you! If your child/children do not speak spanish, and you are looking to provide them with an opportunity to enrich their lives with a quality education in a friendly and safe envirornment, keep looking.
My two younger children of 5 have attended Heights since the beginning of school. I love the teachers and the staff. My daughter has went on to Hillview Junior High and is right on track. I have one daughter that will return to Heights next year this will be her 5th grade year. Thanks everyone!!
My children have had a good expereince at Heights. The teachers are great with the kids and really care about them.
Having moved from San Francisco, where my kids were at a very small school for the creative arts-I have actually been very pleased with the school. The principal is a very strong leader, with a good relationship with the kids. The teachers have been great, and have total control of their classrooms. The behavior problems I experienced in San Francisco, do not seem to be a issue at Heights. They do not have a art/music program. But they have a real library, a PE and science teacher. Which we didn't have in San Francisco. My daughters 3rd grade teacher has done wonderful things with the GATE program. Due to limited english speaking the parental involvment is limited. The whole staff is top notch.

Dougherty County -- South Georgia law enforcement leaders say federal training programs that come to smaller agencies would keep communities safer.
Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson are co-sponsoring a bill that would spend ten million dollars to put federal law enforcement training center instructors on the road.
Dougherty County Police Chief Don Cheek says that would keep officers on the job, and save travel expenses it would cost to send them to training centers. Cheek said "Sending somebody to the training can be A time consuming and B can be quite expensive, and with budgets as tight as they are everywhere, we try to get as much bang for the buck as we can. "
Cheek says all law enforcement officers are required by law to receive 20 hours of training a year, and this could save taxpayers money in the long run.

Wings 'N Things
I'm not a huge connoisseur of the buffalo wing and can't say much of the phenomenon that catapulted that dish onto every sports bar menu in the country. But I do enjoy a well-prepared piece of chicken every now and again.
By far my favorite chicken wing preparation is what can be found at Momofuku in New York. But the crunchy version found at San Tung in the Inner Sunset is not too shabby at all, especially if you slather the wings in hot sauce and rice wine vinegar. Tsingtao—that most versatile of beers—washes those wings down remarkably well.

emotions, so there was not always a happy ending. However more
recently, a more vibrant outward and inward look on my life and other
peoples' way of living is being expressed through my works. We have one
sentence in Slovak language and it is "Draw it for yourself", so I do.

BROCKTON, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A Brockton couple pled not guilty in what the Norfolk County District Attorney's office is calling a 5-year long elder abuse scam.
Prisca Halaby, 35, and her husband, Dominique Halaby, 45, both of Brockton, are accused of stealing more than $130,000 from an elderly Sharon man and his disabled daughter since 2009. During that time, Prisca worked as a caretaker for both of them.
The couple was indicted Thursday on counts of larceny of property over $250 from a person over 60 or disabled. Prisca was also indicted on multiple counts of credit card fraud and identity fraud.
"This has been an extensive and time-intensive grand jury investigation," said District Attorney Michael Morrissey in a statement.
A Judge ordered that Prisca be held on $30,000 cash bail, and Halaby on $15,000 cash bail. If released, both must have no contact with the victims. Prisca was also ordered not to work as a home health aide.
Both Prisca and Halaby will appear in Norfolk Superior Court on April 1.
According to the district attorney's office, the maximum penalty on the main charge for each is 10 years in prison if convicted.

What Are You Cooking for Passover and Easter?
Two big spring celebrations with lots of good food traditions are fast approaching: Passover, which begins at sundown a week from today, April 8, and Easter, celebrated Sunday April 12.
Here's a post to get a conversation going...
Passover of course has deeply steeped cooking traditions, with the Seder plate and its symbolic morsels, roasted lamb, and the parade of matzoh and wine. Easter, too, is rich with food traditions, from meats like ham, rabbit and lamb, to sweets like hot cross buns and the ubiquitous (at least to my dad) marshmallow Peeps.
These two holidays, for Christian and Jewish people, are some of the most joyful cooking times of the year. Spring is in the air, family gathers, and kitchens heat up. We'd love to hear about your traditions. What are your cooking plans? Any burning questions for the cooks in this kitchen?

Asparagus and leek quiche/tart and croissants for breakfast and I am debating on whether or not to do lamb or ham for dinner. I've never done a ham before and it will only be my husband, daughter and myself so I'm not exactly sure how small they run but I am enthusiastic to try. Sides will depend on what my main is.
I start baking bread for easter this weekend, its sort of like challah, only richer and flavored with maleb (the pits of sour cherries) and mastic, (an ingredient used in gum, i think). We'll dye eggs a few different colors each with a little oil in all the coloring baths (makes it look marbled). For easter dinner serving the traditional white fish and a omelet that is filled with so much greens that it looks nothing like an omelet. Plus a huge amount of rice. With the traditional food all accounted for, I encourage others to bring something along they like. Dessert is the only thing I get to approach how I choice, although the people doing lent in my family will probably ask for a cheesecake, I'm think rubarb crumble with strawberry ice cream.
We're hosting Easter this year, and it will be the last celebration in our current house (because, miracle of miracles, it sold!). Since Easter is 3 weeks before our move date, it won't be a huge affair (never is, really). I've got a new tablecloth I'm happy about. I'm making Jen's Slow Cooker Roast Beef (userealbutter.com), which is fabulous and super easy. Then I'm letting everyone else volunteer to bring what they want, and I'll fill in the gaps. We've got some picky eaters, so it's always interesting.
My Filipino grandmother usually does all the cooking for Easter, often making at least a ham, plus Filipino and American sides. However, since I used Lent as my "test" to go vegan (and am not looking at stopping at Easter), I'll probably make a few things, as well this year. Of course, many things we make for Easter are already vegan -- like my grandmother's broiled eggplant salad and her Filipino desserts.
Perhaps I'll bring an asparagus tart (for us to snack on while we wait for everything else), some garlic-roasted brussel sprouts, and a strawberry pie for dessert, so we can indulge in the bounty of springtime produce.
This year my family is going to do an Easter brunch. My mother said she's still going to get a ham. I'm looking through your recipe archives for brunch ideas. A friend is going to bring scones. I was thinking of baking sugar cookies and having people (OK, my 3 year old) decorate the cookies themselves.
This is my first comment! I recently discovered this website and I love it! I'm a daily visitor now.
Throwing a Seder at the new apartment that will be vegetarian and hopefully inspired by this "Mexican/Passover" NYT's piece.
I'm making homemade gefilte fish and <A href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Cauliflower-Leek-Kugel-with-Almond-Herb-Crust-231889">cauliflower-leek-kugel for a potluck seder.
I'm the vegetarian/pescatarian one attending.
there will of course be matza ball soup; and the hosts are being super nice and making a veggie soup for me as well (the host says it's not passover without his grandmother's chicken soup with matza balls)
last year I made chickpea soup (minus the noodles, of course) with the matza balls. it was delicous.
My husband and I are too far away to spend Easter with family this year, so we've decided to just make a duck breast. Most likely with asparagus and baked potatoes. I've never made duck at home before, so hopefully it will work out!
My family is coming to us for Easter weekend... we're making a ham, pierogies, salad with mache and homemade croutons, garlic green beans if I can talk my husband out of making green bean casserole, and cornbread. My sister is going to make French silk pie and serve with fresh strawberries if we can find them. Her bf is making his traditional breakfast on Easter - kielbasa with eggs, rye bread, and babka if we can find it anywhere!
A good ham, scalloped potatoes, whatever fresh vegetable appeals to me at the grocery store, homemade bread, and carrot cake.
We do a seder potluck every year and this year I'm responsible for bringing something sweet. I'm not much of a baker but hopefully I can do better than store bought macaroons!
I'll be making my husband's family recipe for Portuguese sweet bread and dying my eggs with onion skins.
We are hosting a brunch this year, aside from the bread we'll be serving quiche, fruit, Peruvian potatoes, mimosas, and a few other things to fill the table out.

A scared teen
A loud buzz alerted her to the elevator reaching the basement. She held her breath as the door opened, relief rushed over her when the room in front of her was empty. That relief was short lived when she heard a door open just around the corner.
Her first thought was to jump back in the elevator and head back up, but there was no time. She slid as quickly and quietly as she could into the corner hidden by shadows. It was hard for her not to scream when the killer steped around the corner with a hideously angry look on his face. Lucky for her the fear that overcame her was enough to freez her vocal cords.
His face became even more angry when he saw that the elevator was empty, she nearly fainted from fright. she watched him as he turned round and round, but he wasn't really looking, as if he didn't actually want to find her.
She saw him begin to move back to the door. Her muscles began to relax and her foot slipped, the noise was unmistakeable, which was apparent when the killer abruptly turned and walked toward her with a shovel lifted in the air above her head.

Protecting those species of plants and animals most at risk requires knowledge and action.
Join the 10th annual Endangered Species Day celebration with an event designed by you and your students. Below are several resources that will help you plan for this special day. 2013 was the 40th anniversary of the Federal Endangered Species Act. The ESA was devised to protect plant and animal species from extinction. Species are put into two categories, "endangered" and "threatened".
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as of September 2013, there are a total of 457 animal species and 703 plant species listed as endangered and 173 animal species and 154 plant species listed as threatened.
Biodiversity is important because each species no matter how small has an important role to play in the larger ecosystem. As a society we rely on these species for various aspects of our own existence.
Convention on Biodiversity
Teach students about pollinators like butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and bats.

DURING - 50/50s (notice the holograms removed in the 2nd half and the water beading on the air intake)
Car: 2009 BMW E87 135i
Service: Stage 1 Paint Correction & Engine Bay Detail
- Despite being black, the car was in pretty good condition
- As usual, there were minor swirls all over the paint and holograms all over the car.
- Wheels were caked in brake dust so the OEM gloss black painted wheels were a matte brown colour.
- The car was seen at our Dyno Day the following day, and was absolutely gleaming! Needless to say, the owner was very happy with the result.
- The E87 has excellent lines for giving that liquid looking finish and this was no exception.
I didnt have time to take many shots, but check out the before, during and after photos below:
DURING - 50/50s (notice the holograms removed in the 2nd half and the water beading on the air intake)

Georgia Peach Vegan Soft-Serve
Brace yourselves for a series of peach posts, as we're back from the South with more Georgia peaches than you can shake a stick at (although we left our favorite Georgia peach — our guest blogger Tiffany Ard — behind so she can keep on nerding it up without the distractions of New York City).
The possibilities are endless in both the sweet and savory categories, and we hand-selected the best of the best, so bear with us as we obsess a little.
First up, Cousin Doug's Georgia Peach Vegan Soft-Serve, inspired by a recipe in the book Lick It! Easy, Dairy-Free Recipes by Cathe Olson.
Cousin Doug has been dairy-free for many years now, so he is our go-to guy when my lactose intolerant husband is craving ice cream. When we showed up on his doorstep it was a no-brainer to request peach soft-serve (simply freeze longer to get a scoopable consistency).
You will need:
- 4 cups of peaches (2 cups roughly sliced and 2 cups diced)
- 1/4 cup of filtered water
- 14 ounces of coconut milk
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar or agave syrup (note: 1/3 cup would be perfect and that is what we'll use next time)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Bring peaches and water to a boil on medium-low heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5 to 8 minutes until peaches soften. Cooking the peaches intensifies the flavor and makes the peaches very easy to peel.
Combine the coconut milk, sugar and vanilla extract in a blender.
Pour in the 2 cups of roughly sliced peaches and process until smooth. Add 2 cups of diced peaches for texture.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Then freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
The photo unfortunately doesn't capture the flavor, but honest to goodness this was the best peach ice cream we've ever had (and yes, we are including full-on rich dairy ice cream in this statement).
Stay tuned for more peach goodness. Oh, and of course we'll be pairing peaches with Georgia pecans!

Hi Maangchi!
Just wanted to say how happy I am to have found your website which I came accross through Facebook.
I am a Korean-American living in Orange County, CA. I have always like cooking but never found very many recipes in English. I have quite a few cook books in Korean but the recipes never come out right.
Since learning about your site, I have made Kalbi jjim for my daughter's 2nd birthday party, the spicy ojing-euh, oh-ee jjang-ah-chee, ssam-jang, bae-choo dwen-jang jji-gae, spicy tofu and some other banchan and every one of them came out great and very tasty! I even got a compliment or two from my mother in law.
Thank you for all that you do! My family (kids and husband) really have been enjoying the home cooked meals.

Sister Anne Hepin, O.P. (By: Bobbie Terry)In 2007, I enrolled in RCIA class at St. Anastasia Catholic Church in St. Augustine, Florida. Little did I know I was going to meet someone who would impact my life in a big way! I saw a woman, all dressed in white and obviously a nun, but she wasn't in charge of instruction of the RCIA class. She was there to support those of us who were there to learn about the Catholic faith. I was immediately drawn to Sister Anne Halpin, OP. Her warm smile and comforting presence were very welcome as I sat in that room full of strangers. Sister Anne was so helpful to all of us in that class. Thanks to her, when the time came for first communion, all of us appeared as if we had been Catholics from the cradle!
In 2010, I was being led to do something, but I wasn't certain what I should be doing! I prayed and prayed about it, asking God to show me what it was that He meant for me to do. God spoke to my spirit over and over again, and said "Go to My Servant Anne". After I heard this three or four times I told my husband "the only Anne I know is Sister Anne Halpin." So Tom took me to visit Sister Anne the very next day. She became my spiritual advisor that day and I am very grateful to God for sending me in her direction! Sister Anne encouraged my husband Tom and I to get involved in feeding the homeless with a group from our church. One Sunday each month a group of twenty or so prepared a big pan of something to serve and gathered downtown to serve more than one hundred hungry and homeless brothers and sisters from our community. The serving group grew fast and so we joined the Cathedral group, who served every Wednesday evening. In August, 2012, the group coordinator announced that she had other commitments and needed a replacement. Tom and I agreed to become the new coordinators and we have never looked back! More.....
Carol Dempsey, O.P., Ph.D., always wanted to be a teacher since she was in the 2nd grade. She says she grew up in an era of tremendous renewal and freedom, at a time immediately before and right after Vatican II, when the Kennedys were in office, when marches for civil rights took place, and when the music of Peter, Paul, and Mary became the voice and conscience of a nation on the brink of change. During those early school years, Carol remembers that "the Dominican Sisters at Sacred Heart Elementary School in Lyndhurst, NJ, engaged with the students and the rest of the faculty, and the priests knew their parishioners. The Sisters knew how to relate to us (students) as people. They had a passion for life." Their influences and sharing of music, especially the Folk artists of the late 60's and early 70's helped Carol develop her love to play the 12 string guitar and solidified her desire to become a teacher. She remembers well Sister Cather Richard, OP (now Cathy Ochs) teaching the fifth graders how to sing "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore." Carol was one of those fifth graders. More..
Sister Pat Hogan, O.P.The Dominican Nuns and a familial legacy at St. Joseph School in Union City were an inspiration for Sister Pat Hogan, OP. She first thought of the vocation in fifth grade, but it was during her high school years at St. Dominic Academy where the idea truly began to flourish. Seeking enlightenment from the Blessed Mother, Sister Pat would stop daily on her route home from SDA at the beautiful grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes. There she prayed to Mary, asking 'Please direct me!' At the time she was interested in becoming a nurse or doctor so when she entered the Caldwell Community she said that she might like to work in the infirmary. But Mother Dolorita's reply was "Sister, you know we are a teaching order" and with that, Sister Pat's path changed.
Sister Pat's first assignment was at St Aedan's in Jersey City where she felt a great closeness with the parents, students, teachers and priests. Having served for eight years, she was reassigned to St Ann's in Newark. The area at the time was in great turmoil, but it was there where answers to Sister Pat's prayers were revealed. She says "Our family had a great devotion to St Martin De Porres… we prayed to him during times of severe illness." Upon reaching the second floor landing while touring Ann's, Sr. Pat found the statue to St Martin De Porres and saw it as a sign revealed, "…I knew I belonged" and there she stayed for nine years. Read More..
Sister Patricia Stringer (OP) had a brief encounter with the Calling as a child while attending St. John the Apostle grammar school in Clark, NJ. She credits her parents with providing the solid foundation to the Faith that helped set the idea in motion, but it wasn't until attending Caldwell College, and working with Caldwell's Campus Ministry and the poor in Newark, that she began to seriously consider a Vocation. Though Sister explored options with various Communities she ultimately decided that the Sisters of St. Dominic were the best fit.
Sister Pat has given over 40 years; a journey which has taken her to St. Aloysius in Caldwell; St. Cassian in Upper Montclair; Mt. St. Dominic Academy in Caldwell; the Trenton Diocese; Caldwell College; Abaco, Bahamas; Quito, Ecuador and the surrounding jungles, and Cruce de Arroyo Hondo in the Dominican Republic. In the spring of 2010, Sister Pat was elected to serve as part of the Sisters' Leadership Team. She is now back where it all started, at the Motherhouse in Caldwell, NJ. Read More..
Sister Adrienne Fallon, O.P. 76, knew when she was only in third grade that she wanted to be a sister, so at age 16, after years of being taught by the Dominicans, she started teaching CCD class to try her future career on for size. It was a perfect fit. She entered the Sisters of Saint Dominic of Caldwell in 1953 and was immediately sent out to teach elementary school, sometimes with as many as 50 children in a class. Over the course of 55 years, she taught English, French, science and religion in kindergarten through eighth grade. In the 1990s, she was head of the CCD program at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Whiting, N.J. Although she retired in 2008 at age 73, she was soon pressed back into service when the pastor of St. Elizabeth's asked her to teach CCD part time, bringing her ministry full circle. She eagerly accepted and stayed on for three more years until her "official" retirement in 2011.
"I'll never retire," says Sister Adrienne, who visits Sisters living in the infirmary at our Motherhouse, and drives older Sisters to doctor appointments or to go shopping. On top of all that, in 2010 she started the Dominican Lay Fraternity at St. Elizabeth's parish for men and women who have committed themselves to seeking a deeper and richer spiritual life as members of the Dominican Laity.
Sister Gerardine Mueller, O.P. is 90 years old and says, "I want another 90!" She enjoys life so much – her work, her interests, even the challenges. She entered the Sisters of Saint Dominic of Caldwell in 1939, and taught history and geography in second and fifth grade in Upper Montclair, N.J. She earned her Master of Fine Arts from Notre Dame and went on to teach high school art. She eventually founded the Caldwell College Art Department. Even now, she continues to teach, if a college student needs to learn a specialized art form such as metal work, copper enameling or stained glass.
Stained glass is Sister Gerardine's true specialty, and you can find her magnificent creations in Saint Catherine of Siena Convent and Healthcare Center as well as at Caldwell College. One of her students, for Sister Gerardine's 90th birthday celebration, wrote this testimonial: "There are very few people who have dramatically changed my life. Sister Gerardine is one of them. Her sparkling blue eyes see what lies within and beyond, and what her eyes don't see, her heart and soul feel."
Sister Barbara Moore, O.P. Associate Professor of Theology at Caldwell College, has for ten years coordinated its graduate program in Pastoral Ministry. Before returning to full-time college teaching, Sister Barbara served as Pastoral Associate at Blessed Kateri Parish in Sparta, NJ during its first seventeen years. This experience prepared her to understand the academic and professional requirements of lay ministers, but more importantly, her parish relationships also motivated her determination to deepen students' personal faith experience. Recently, Sister Barbara has found that offering theology courses online has opened up teaching's pastoral dimension in a way she had not anticipated. "Somehow, students seem to share their faith journeys more freely with me and with each other online than they ever do in the classroom. Their questions demand more than academic information and engage my pastoral skills to focus on theology's relevance in peoples' lives and in the realities of their world."
Sister Anne John O'Loughlin, O.P. has taught in schools throughout New Jersey, focusing on high school social studies and history, and serving as a high school librarian. In 1962, she became college librarian and also taught Library Science at Caldwell College. In 1969, she was appointed President of Caldwell College and served for 10 years. She later worked for the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of New Jersey, representing 16 State Department of Education officers for colleges. After serving as Assistant to the President of Seton Hall University, Sister Anne John was asked to come back to Caldwell College, taking on the job of Provost. Always ready for a challenge, in 1987 Sister Anne John was charged with establishing a development office to help raise funds to renovate our community chapel, a job she did with great success and enthusiasm.
Although she's "retired," Sister Anne John continues to work in the community library two days a week and drives older Sisters to doctor appointments and on other errands. She's also an active member of the Kiwanis Club, which focuses on helping children. Despite her high-powered resume, when she reflects on her accomplishments, Sister Anne John comes back to a simple truth: "No matter what else I did, I was a Dominican Sister first and foremost. Therefore my prayers were daily, and the benefactors were remembered daily."
Sister Donna Ciangio, O.P. founding Director of Church Leadership Consultation, enjoys a truly global ministry. For over thirty years, Sister Donna has collaborated with everyone from cardinals to catechists on all seven continents. Her task is to develop both lay and clerical leadership with skills to promote parish vitality, pastoral direction, adult faith formation, and small Christian communities. Recently, technology has helped to relieve her strenuous travel schedule which in a given month might range from Latin America to the Philippines. For example, regular Skype conversations now allow Sister Donna to maintain friendships with diocesan leaders from Dublin, Ireland and Durbin, South Africa. Closer to home, Sister Donna serves as the Director of Faith Formation at St. Rose of Lima Church in Short Hills, New Jersey, as an adjunct faculty member in Drew University's Doctor of Ministry program, and as parish consultant for the Jesuit National Conference USA, and for RCL Benziger Publishing Company.
Sister Honora Werner, O.P. ministers as director and professor in the doctoral preaching program at Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, Missouri. Aquinas, the only Catholic school in the US to offer a doctorate in preaching, educates religious and lay people for service and leadership in the Church. The online doctoral program serves students from the USA, Canada and overseas. Sister Honora works mostly from an office in Caldwell! She travels to St. Louis a few times each year when her students come in for intensive weeks of study. There are 94 graduates of the program and 47 currently studying. Graduates gift the Church as teachers, writers, and, of course, as preachers.
Sister Patricia Daly, O.P. Executive Director of the Tri-State Coalition for Responsible Investment, engages in a preaching ministry beyond any classroom or pulpit. As a
financial consultant to forty religious congregations in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, TRICRI educates financial managers to screen corporations which manufacture dangerous products like weapons and genetically-modified organisms and/or who engage in unfair labor practices. Sister Pat's organization represents the combined investment power of religious organizations at shareholders' meetings concerned with issues like human rights, environmental protection, and human trafficking. Asked, "Does it work?" Sister Pat happily points to Ford Motor Company as "a successful transformation of a corporate culture to attend to a broad spectrum of sustainability issues." As a Dominican, Sister Pat finds her unique "ministry of preaching in the marketplace amazingly fulfilling, addressing today's crises, confronting the heresy of greed at all cost."

I've been scrapbooking since it became popular (ages ago!). A few years ago, I decided I wanted to make a quilt, so I bought a sewing machine, taught myself how to sew by using various websites, and started making handbags. I've made a couple very simple quilts and now I'm trying to improve my piecing techniques and learn to free-motion quilt.

ECB blocks RFU Twenty20 move- 11 Jan 2007 00:00:00
The England and Wales Cricket Board have blocked a move by the Rugby Football Union for the latter to use the Twenty20 moniker for a new grassroots rugby tournament.
The ECB confirmed that the RFU had made an approach to use the Twenty20 title for its new concept but that the request had been firmly denied.
An ECB spokesman stated: 'We have trademarked the various titles and we understand that the RFU are now exploring other titles to make sure that the two sports are differentiated.'
The RFU is looking for a brand name to promote its new grassroots concept which is designed to bring players who have previously played amateur rugby at grassroots level back into competitive games.
A pilot for the scheme was to see midweek games arranged split into periods of 20 minutes each, under the Twenty20 branding.
This was then to lead to the creation of a national tournament next September as part of a campaign to attract new players to the game ahead of the Rugby World Cup.

Paul said he would benefit from being in America, where he could speak the language and maintain friendships and "do things," he said in Mandarin, visualizing himself on his back, on his yoga mat, with his MacBook on the inclined surface of his thighs, formed by bending his knees, looking at the internet.

The Story Of Us0 Reviews
Last chapter. Based on The Story Of Us by Taylor Swift
I yank my bag back up to the top of my shoulder while trying to balance a pile of books in my other arm and avoiding the multiple groups of people protruding from the lockers on the sides of the hallway. I look around the groups and jealousy starts to brew inside me. They are laughing together, sharing good times and don't have to worry about being awkward or who they're going to sit next to in the following class, something that seems to be a challenge for me now, well with Bob anyway
I walk down the aisle of books, dragging my hand across the rows of smooth spines and searching through them half-heartedly. My eyes flick towards a gap leading to the next aisle and I see Bob leaning casually on the bookcase, flicking through the yellowing pages of a book with a bored expression on his face. He hasn't spotted me so I tip toe around the corner and up behind him, placing my hands over his eyes
"Guess who?" I whisper in his ear. He closes his book and holds it in one hand, grabbing my arm with the other. He pulls my hand away and turns around, laughing and walking towards me so I back up into the bookcase behind me. He leans his arm on the shelf above my head and starts to play with my hair, twiddling small strands between his fingers. I stare into his blue eyes as he leans in closer. I feel his warm breath tickling my nose and I lean up to meet him in the middle…
I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I see the library door and almost walk face first into it. I sigh deeply and push the door heavily, stepped through it. I'm welcomed by looks of sympathy and confusion and the sound of a deafening silence when the door closes softly, blocking out the sound of the hall. I guess the word has been spread.
I walk down the gap in between the rows of tables, looking around and trying to find somewhere to sit. I spot somewhere and walk towards it, throwing my bag onto the desk and falling into the chair, sighing at the thought of all the work I need to do. I pull a heavy book out of my bag before shoving it on the floor and finding the right page. I stare blankly at it but get distracted and start to look around the room and I soon spot Bob who's frowning with concentration, staring at the book laid on the table in front of him.
"Shit" I whisper. I start to panic, thinking of the consequences of him spotting me. He'll think I followed him, he'll think I am not over him. My brain is racing, trying desperately to think of a solution or route of escape but only lands on one solution. I balance my book so it is standing up and hide behind it. I slowly straighten up and look at him over the top and see that he still hasn't noticed me. I soon realise how stupid I'm being and lower the book, fiddling with hands, pulling at my sleeves and playing with my hair, doing anything to look busy. I tap my hands around on the desk a bit then realise I could just read my book, that would make me look busy.
I open the book onto a random page and try to read it but the words don't make an impact, I'm just staring while my mind is somewhere else. I look over and see Bob rub his eyes. He seems completely uninterested. I keep swapping my gaze between my book and Bob, seeing him not change position at all but the next time I lift my head, I see him looking at me. He smiles at me but I feel unable to return it. I feel like things just got a million times more awkward but I have to do something. I smile back, waving my hand lightly, cursing my awkwardness in my head. He waves back, his smile fading before returning to his book.
It can't go on like this anymore, we have to speak sometime.
I stand up and look over to Bob, seeing he is one step ahead of me. We start to walk towards each other and time seems to slow down. I step lightly, trying not to disturb other people in the library and I look anywhere but directly at him. I roll up my sleeves but roll them down again soon after, fiddling with the hem of them in my hands.
We finally meet at the end of the room and it feels like we are all alone. I look up at him and see him opening and closing his mouth, eyes flickering from side to side as he tries to find something to say. I soon find myself doing the same thing. Why is this so hard? I look at him again and realise there is nothing we can do. I shrug my shoulders and he mirrors me. I quickly turn and walk away, straining myself from running away from the situation.
I suppose that was easy.

Found April 25, 2013 on Red's Army:
PLAYERS: Jordan Crawford, Courtney Lee, Kevin Garnett
TEAMS: Boston Celtics
TEAMS: Boston Celtics
One of the questions I was most asked during Game 2 was some variation of "why is Doc going with Jordan Crawford over Courtney Lee?" Here's Doc's reasoning: Rivers was asked Wednesday about his preference of Crawford over Lee, and he said he simply thinks Crawford is playing better than Lee right now. "Yeah, it's not that deep," Rivers said. "I just think right now (Crawford is) is (playing better) and I think offensively he gives you a better shot at it. Courtney, defensively, is better, so it really depends on — with us, because of the injuries we have at the guard spots, it really depends on the matchups for us, whether Jordan, in certain spots, or Courtney, will play. And that's just the way it's going to be." OK, it's not the most ringing endorsement of Crawford over Lee, but that doesn't change the fact that right now, Crawford is behind Lee on the depth chart. I had a Twitter discussion yesterday with a couple of pretty knowledgeable guys and it seems like while there

The amazing evolution of Politifact's 'if you like your plan you can keep it' rating
**Written by Doug Powers
Politifact's rating of the famous Obama promise "if you like your plan you can keep it" has gone through a heck of an evolution in the past five years.
In October of 2008 "if you like your plan you can keep it" was totally true:
Less than four years later, in June of 2012 it was downgraded to "half true" ("true," but only for the people who could manage to keep their plans):
However, in October of 2012, Mitt Romney had a close brush with the truth, but Politifact nevertheless rated it totally "false":
Now, "If you like your plan you can keep it" has been deemed 2013′s "Lie of the Year":
The "promise was impossible to keep"? Better late than never, I suppose.
"If you like your plan you can keep it" is actually the lie of the century, but that would negate their previous ratings, so "year" will have to suffice.
You might have noticed that the ratings most helpful to Obama — Oct. 2008′s "Obama's promise is completely true" and Oct. 2012′s "Romney's claim is completely false" — are the ones coincidentally closest to the elections.

FAIRBANKS, AK-One of the big events on the Fairbanks Calendar is the WEIO games but this weekend some of the younger athletes are gearing up for the Native Youth Olympics next month.
Effie Kokrine Charter School is sponsoring a NYO competition this weekend in the seal hop, two foot high kick, and other events to help prepare the Randy Smith and Lathrop NYO teams for the state competition on April 25th in Anchorage.
These events pass on the athletic native traditions and Lathrop sophomore Sean Nickoli has been learning and improving from a year ago.
"Already I'm excelling great, greatly, since last year. So it's just all the work is equal to paying off, competing in front of family and friends," Nickoli said.
Erica Meckel, a native games athlete, loves that these athletes are starting early.
"It was hard getting on, a late start, and so now I can get these guys started earlier it's something that they're gonna be able to carry on a lot longer and hopefully pass on to other people," Meckel said.
Lathrop's NYO coach, Emily Leon, believes that these games pay homage to the native culture. Leon said, "All of these games are just, um, a tribute to the, to the native way of live and to everyone."

Whoa! Dang! Look at all those cute humans! Holy cow! YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET HYPED!!!!!!
Maybe even so hyped that you go buy Story War on Amazon!?
Reminder! Tomorrow will be the last day that you can get Story War, the storytelling party game, for $5 off on Amazon using the discount code COOLSALE! Tell your friends!
(PS: We're still working on getting Amazon to ship Story War outside the US, but in the meantime anyone can still order Story War from DFTBA)
Story War is finally for sale on Amazon! And, until Friday (Dec 6th), it's $5 off if you use the promo code COOLSALE at checkout! (It also qualifies for free shipping, so it'll come out to $20 total!)
Story War is a family-friendly party game where players try to come up with a more compelling story than their opponents! It's basically competitive fan fiction! You're given a setting and some characters and weapons to choose from and you have to convince the judge that your character would win in a fight!
Everyone takes turns either playing as the judge or roleplaying cute characters like Fairy and Goblin (pictured above)! You can play with up to 8 people at a time! It's super fun! It'd make a great Christmas present for pretty much any creative person!
Story War was designed with accessibility in mind! This game is for everybody, but COOLSALE is only for people cool enough to know about COOLSALE! It'd be really cool if you could reblog this post and let your friends know about COOLSALE!
(PS: We're still working on getting Amazon to ship Story War outside the US, but in the meantime anyone can still order Story War from DFTBA)
Hey Story Warriors!
We're doing one more (maybe final!?) playtest of Volume 2! This time in Chicago! The windy apple! Home of the famous sports team the Chicago Scruff MacGruffs! The setting of Hey Arnold I think? CHICAGO! That one building! That big mirror! CHICAGO! City of lights!
Anyway, I have no idea what I'm doing in Chicago but Chicagoland Games: The Dice Dojo has graciously agreed to host us, sight unseen! Here's the details!
Come hang out with us and help us playtest Story War volume 2! Your feedback is going to help us shape the final game! We put a huge emphasis on accessibility so if you could bring along friends who don't normally play board games that would be great! In fact, if you bring along at least three friends (yourself and three others) we'll give you a FREE copy of Volume 1!
PS: We might have a local Chicago celebrity visiting the playtest! Is it Oprah? Is it Max Temkin creator of Cards Against Humanity? Is it a deep dish pizza because Max had something better to do on Saturday and I didn't ask him if he was actually coming before I name dropped him in this post? Only one way to find out!!!
See you guys on SATURDAY in CHICAGO!
(And if you can't make it, could you please reblog this post so everyone knows about our stupidly last minute playtest in CHICAGO!)
We're adding one final battlefield to Story War vol 2!
The playtest is going great! Vol 2 feels way more solid now!
Remember, the playtest is tomorrow! If you come hang out you can leave us great feedback like this!
Hey everyone! This saturday will be the FINAL playtest of Story War vol 2 in NYC! (We may do another in a different city, maybe)! Come playtest Story War volume 2 and give us your feedback!
Story War is a super fun and simple card game (funded on Kickstarter) where you try to convince a judge that your character could beat your opponent's character in a fight! Or, in some cases, argue that your character would be more likely to get a promotion, or better at splitting the check! Volume 1 featured mostly cards based on concepts from mythology, but volume 2 focuses on super hero and action movie tropes! The gif above shows the new characters Double Agent, Alien and Blob duking it out in the Diner battlefield!
This is the NEARLY FINAL version of Story War vol 2! We've already incorporated notes from the last playtest, so if you were there for that, please come back to this one! All the placeholder art from the last playtest has been updated and finished, and all the copy is nearly final! So we're REALLY looking for nitpicky feedback here! Feel free to talk my ear off about what you did or did not like about the game, or what you do and do not like about me as a person, or the weather, or whatever! We'll have survey sheets for everyone to fill out, but verbal feedback is the most effective!
Also, if you bring at least three friends, we'll give you a FREE signed copy of Story War volume 1!
(PS: Even if you don't live in New York City, it'd help us out a lot if you could reblog this post and help spread the word!)
