How To Make Creamy Scrambled Eggs
Writing a how-to on making scrambled eggs feels like taking my virtual life in my hands. Everyone makes scrambled eggs differently; everyone has strong feelings about them. And some of you will inevitably say that this is elementary! Everyone already knows how to do this! Well, you know what? I just wanted to make scrambled eggs. And personally? I like them creamy, luscious, and custard-like. Here is how I do it.
These are slow-cooked eggs — they stop short of Laurie Colwin's method of cooking them very, very slowly over an hour in a double boiler with half a pint of cream, but they are made in this spirit. They are cooked slowly, in the smallest pan you have, over very low heat. (You can use a flame-tamer on a gas stove to get a really low, even heat.)
The result is creamy, custardy eggs that slip off your spoon into your mouth; they wobble ever so slightly, and spread like fluffy ricotta on toast. They are simply luscious, and if I'm going to make scrambled eggs, this is how I am going to do them.
How do you make scrambled eggs? Do you like them creamy and slow, or quick and chopped up, diner-style?
What You Need
Fresh eggs
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Cream (optional)
Chopped fresh herbs (optional)
Whisk or fork
Very small saucepan or high-sided sauté pan
Wooden spoon or spatula
1. Choose the smallest saucepan or sauté pan you have. It should be heavy, with a good solid bottom to evenly distribute heat.
2. Pull out your eggs and decide how many you want. I feel that for best effect it's good to do at least two or three. Ideally at least three. Less than that, and it's hard to keep the eggs from cooking too fast.
3. If you want, though, you can also add some cream to help buffer the eggs and make them creamy. (See note below about cream vs. milk in scrambled eggs.) I add about 1 teaspoon of cream per egg, so for this batch of 3 scrambled eggs, I added about 1 tablespoon.
4. Before you beat your eggs, heat your small pan over low heat, and add a small knob (about a teaspoon) of butter. Let it melt.
5. Break your eggs into a small bowl.
6. Beat the eggs thoroughly. This simple step is actually very important to good scrambled eggs. Beat them so that the yolks are completely broken up and incorporated with the whites. The mixture should look evenly yellow — not patchy and half-mixed. If you are using cream, whisk it in now as well.
7. By now your butter should be melted and evenly distributed in the pan. Any foam will have subsided.
8. Pour in your eggs, and make sure the heat is still very, very low.
9. Depending on the amount of eggs you used, and the size of your pan, you should now plan on cooking the eggs for about 15 minutes.
10. The more frequently you stir the eggs, the more custardy they will be. If you stirred constantly they will turn out almost like a creamy pudding! I don't have the patience for that, so I stir every couple minutes, which works out well if you are prepping other breakfast items. You can make toast and coffee and slice up some fruit in the time it takes for these to cook.
11. You can see here the custardy curds of egg forming, around the 5-minute mark.
12. Near the end of cooking the eggs will get much thicker, but still creamy.
13. When the eggs are dry and cooked enough for your taste, season lightly with salt and pepper, and stir in fresh herbs, if you would like. (There are chives in these, which were perfectly delightful.)
14. Bonus step: Don't forget to immediately fill the egg pan with hot soapy water when you take the eggs out! Then the cooked egg will come right off when you go to wash it. If you let it dry and get hard, it's a real pain to wash off.
Additional Notes:
• Some people use milk in their scrambled eggs. I firmly believe that this makes the eggs rubbery. The full-fat whipping cream makes them creamy, but use it or leave it out completely. Don't substitute milk.
• You can hold these in a slightly warm oven, or in a double boiler, to keep them warm for brunch. But they cook so slowly, especially when you are doing a larger quantity, that it should be easy to time them precisely for when you sit down to eat.

I do diner-style. I just crack eggs into a buttered pan and scramble on medium-high with milk, salt and pepper (and cheese if I have it). They turn out all cut-up looking though. These are gorgeous.
I don't know her exact technique, but my mom has always gotten "creamy, luscious" scrambled eggs from the microwave.
Yay Snowville Creamery! They rock!
I know most people will think this to be sacrilege, but I prefer microwaving my scrambled eggs (gasp!).
The ingredients are the same, but I put the mixture into a bowl lightly coated with cooking spray, then I microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in-between, until they are the consistency I want (which varies depending on who I'm cooking them for and where I'll be using them.)
Gosh, fifteen minutes seems like a long time!
Not to sing the gospel of Gordon Ramsey, but his version of scrambled eggs is cooked in a saucepan, stirred vigorously and constantly with a spatula, removing the pan from the heat every few seconds, with an addition of creme fraiche and chives at the end. Takes all of five minutes.
Boyfriend cooked them this way with sour cream...so, so creamy and good!
We do ours low and slow but slow for us like, 10minutes-15 minutes max.
Like catsup above, I have made these but using Ramsey's technique which produces something very similar looking but in just five minutes. I posted about it on my blog:
The biggest challenge I have is eggs sticking to my stainless steel pots. These are so delicious that they're worth the extra minutes of scrubbing though!
I'm definitely not a fan of cream or milk in scrambled eggs... I find it takes away from the delicious egginess of perfectly scrambled eggs.
Delia Smith claims that this is the way to make Escoffier's version of scrambled eggs (i.e., very softly scrambled):
The difference between Delia's technique and the one you outline is that Delia's is faster; the addition of butter at the very end helps stop the cooking, leaving just enough residual heat to finish the eggs off the burner. The eggs though are just as softly scrambled as yours.
I'm a control freak in the kitchen, therefore I cook basically every meal but my partner does take egg-duty. He cooks them very slowly and stirring constantly but with one difference from this recipe, he uses a large pan. You're able to get the same result in much less time, while still "slow cooking" on very low heat since there is much more surface area. Delicious
My husband never knew custard-like eggs until we were married... now he's a convert. Only, I don't use any cream/milk/etc... just the eggs & some pepper (salt afterwards).
I make them in a small cast-iron pan on super-low heat (the pan holds enough residual heat even if it's turned off) and a rubber spatula - and stir, stir, stir! The eggs never even get a chance to curdle. So tasty. Although, it could also be the bacon fat I use... :-)
I must be an oddity, but wet scrambled eggs turn my stomach. I like them to be very dry, like bits of a cut-up fried egg. Actually, I almost can't look at the picture above, though I'm sure the recipe would be delicious if I liked my eggs this way. Is anyone else weird like me?
You're not alone, Octavia82.
I prefer my scrambled eggs to be ..drier...than the recipe's. But it doesn't make me sick to look at 'em and yes, I've had the 'creamier' version before and not too keen on them (my hub made the creamy version for me--but he usually uses milk--I will tell him about the cream).
My mom always made ours with a little whole milk, salt & pepper and mixed them briskly with a whisk in a bowl before putting them in a pan to cook. But I find now that I enjoy them just as much if the eggs are farm fresh– from the farmers' market and off the truck that morning. I don't need to really add anything else to such fresh eggs and they're so delicious on their own.
I like a slow hand ;-) with a scant pat of butter when the eggs are done. I was taught (in home economics 1966) to add a teaspoon of water for each egg---that the water would turn to steam and make the eggs fluffy. But cooking the eggs that hot is wrong.
I use Gordon Ramsay's method, mentioned above, for cooking scrambled eggs. It's easy and delicious. I'll probably never go back to the old way I used to cook scrambled eggs.
My mom always told me to use cold water when washing egg pans, because it stops the egg from cooking/ sticking. But i've never tried it with hot so I can't say if it works better. Is putting cold water on a hot pan bad for it or what?
i'm with you octavia! ick. i like chinese style quick fried eggs that you can cut up and use with noodles or whatever.
This discussion makes me miss my Mom's creamy, fluffy "strangled" eggs very badly...
Day before yesterday, Paula Deen was on the toob saying her secret is a good-sized dollop of sour cream - anyone familiar with this? Will it make the eggs "tangy"?
I use a similar technique to this but with a few slight modifications. I learned the technique from this video by Gordon Ramsey and have had phenomenal results from it.
I'm in the "drier" and "chunkier" scrambled eggs camp.
Though I do add a dollop of milk and some cheese! :)
I use this recipe for "poached" scrambled eggs from the NY Times Sunday magazine.
It's from a few years back, but they kind of changed my life regarding scrambled eggs. They're ridiculously good and not really any more effort; plus, no butter so a bit on the lighter side...
SNOWVILLE milks are the shiiiiiz! Faith, are you based out of Ohio?
Wow. I've never used this 15 minute method. I might give it a go if I had some time on my hands in the morning. Scrambled eggs at our house usually takes about 2 minutes. But creamy does sound lovely.
I find microwaved scrambled eggs revolting. Reserved only for places where there is no other alternative. Maybe I've been doing it wrong.
@lmrinc and @jk25, yes! Emma and I both are in Ohio. See the feature on Snowville Creamery here (a full tour, actually!).
And yes, you can definitely do this sort of egg quicker by stirring constantly. I do find this method perfect for my morning schedule, though. I can make coffee and toast and fruit while they cook, since they take about 10-15 minutes and I don't have to stir the whole time. :-)
I recently realized that I tend to overcook my eggs, especially scrambled eggs, and mine usually would stick no matter how much oil or butter was used. This was fixed by increasing the temperature to a medium-low and letting the mixture sit for 15-30 seconds before folding. It takes less than two minutes for me to cook 2-3 scrambled eggs. However, they're not nearly as creamy delicious looking as these! I'm going to try this method.
Yeah. I like my scrambled eggs to have some texture and not be like soft like a custard all the way through. Some parts custardy, some parts harder. I guess some would describe those parts as rubbery. Well, you eat them your way; I'll eat them my way.
I cooked these this morning, absolutely delicious! They remind me of the soft scrambled eggs I've had a cafes, perfect!
No more dry, overcooked eggs!
Such a lovely tutorial. I've never really seen such a simple and detailed recipe like that. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to post it.
I have never cooked it slow. I usually had it set to mid-heat and I found it to be dry but that didn't seem to bother me. But now, after reading this I want it try it slow and with milk.
Tomorrow morning I shall eat scrambled eggs.
Yes, this slow low cooking is exactly how I prefer scrambled eggs, though I stir them infrequently: just three or four good turns to make big soft creamy curds of scrambled egg. I think I picked up the technique from an M.F.K. Fisher description; I've often wondered about the Laurie Colwin double-boiler method, too.
My mother, who always makes eggs hard-cooked over high heat, often requests "your special scrambled eggs" for breakfast at big family get-togethers. That's a perfect time to make them, actually, because a big pan of 18 or 20 eggs takes longer and therefore gives a lot more leeway than 3 or 4 eggs. I often spoon most of them out onto a warm platter, then give the remaining servings a few minutes more on the stovetop to firm them up for the few family members who want harder eggs.
These days, I usually defer to my husband's preference for harder eggs. But today I treated myself to a dish of creamy soft scrambled eggs for a late late far-too-late lunch. Mmmmmm, fresh eggs from a friend's hens, a splash of heavy cream (leftover from a bout of candymaking), and just a touch of kosher salt. So gorgeous!
I was wondering what to have for lunch and now I know: scrambled eggs! And just my luck - I bought some at the supermarket this morning.
My daughter usually likes a morning eggwich but she had her wisdom teeth removed a few days ago and is on a soft diet. I look forward to trying your creamy egg recipe. I think she will really like it!
I use Alton Brown's method which is quite similar to this. The only difference is that once the eggs are uniformly curdsy the heat is turned up to high and the eggs are folded over themselves just until there's no more liquid in the pan (and dumped onto the plate even though they look undercooked. It leaves the eggs rich and creamy in taste but not totally creamy and soft in texture. Nom!
I have a friend that puts cream cheese in their eggs.
I basically use this same method - except I do not use milk or cream. I put in about 1/2 tablespoon of ice cold water per 3 eggs. It is worth the extra time to have perfect yummy creamy eggs. I made my scrambled eggs for my sister and she was amazed at the difference.
When I was a kid, my father mixed up eggs with flour and other stuff in the blender, and then scrambled them in a wok.
Whatever he did to them (it was his thing not to reveal his secrets), they were fantastic! Really fluffy. He also used to added bacon in with them - awesome! Wish I could replicate them...
Me and my friends make them this way, we call them "magic eggs" because they taste full of butter even if it's just eggs!
When I want luscious, creamy scrambled eggs I have my husband make them. They come out perfect every time, just like my dad used to make. He's a keeper!
bogus waste of time. Use an immersion blender to aerate your eggs (plus milk/cream.) 30 seconds on high with one of those will treble the volume of your eggs. Then cook it as fast as possible, stirring/folding all the time. 1 1/2 to 2 minutes and they are done - and I guarantee lighter and fluffier than this 15 minute version
I just tested out a new technique for scrambled eggs that i picked up from the last edition of Food & Wine. This resulted in the creamiest eggs i've ever had with no butter or fat whatsoever.
1. Bring a quart of water to a simmer in a large saucepan.
2. crack and vigorously beat 2-4 eggs. Could probably do more if you wanted.
3. Once the water is at a simmer, using a wooden spoon, create vortex (whirlepool) by stirring the water.
4. Dump the eggs into the vortex, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Cook for exactly 40 seconds.
5. Strain the water out of the pot using a slotted spoon to hold back the eggs then dump the eggs into a colander to drain off the rest of the water.
You will want to season your eggs after cooking. The recipe calls for a goat cheese sauce but i just melted some butter over the eggs and seasoned with salt and pepper. It was amazing.
Use free range organic eggs, lots of butter, salt and pepper in a non-stick pan, and take eggs off the heat whilst still soft.
I'm another person who doesn't like 'wet' eggs. So no milk, no cream. Just eggs scrambled in a big skillet (with maybe cheese) and salt and pepper afterwards.
I love a creamy scrambled egg. This is a great tutorial!
I only recently discovered that eggs can be served in this style. When given this sort of scrambled egg, I actually had to excuse myself from to the table to spit them out. The taste was normal, but the texture was so horrid. I'm genuinely amazed that this style of egg is popular, as the texture is off-putting. I was like the eggs were tapioca ... very custardy, very awful.
I think I prefer a egg fried over hard, or a traditional american style scramble with eggs cooked a bit drier.
For creamy-fluffy scrambled eggs, I add mayonaise instead of cream. Cook on medium-low for about 10 minutes, stirring most of the time.
I want to know how to make the scrambled eggs like they have at hotels! They are so yummy and I've tried different method I've read about, but can never get it the same. Guess I'll give this one a try.
I think Ramsay has been an advocate of both techniques, the beaten, dash of water, over very high heat for all of 20 seconds before it can go rubbery (my favourite!) on Hells Kitchen, for a restaurant quality version of eggs on toast. Yum! Fluffy, not rubbery, not too liquid, not snotty.
And also on another show (I saw it on youtube) demo'ing a technique very close to this one.
I've tried to get used to the texture of very creamy eggs like these, but it just doesn't seem substantial or cooked to me. More like some kind of creepy condiment, more like a body fluid which is just too skeezy.
Okay, I'm the one who likes milk in eggs.... and yet I make the best scrambled eggs in the house. Wet or dry to me depends on how long you cook them - I cook them a little drier if I'm having them on bread, moister for crunchy toast. Cream sounds a tad caloric for home (although I'm guilty of loving it at cafes).
My MIL who can cook (I generally can't) told me off for putting milk in the eggs (claimed it was depression era practice) and then proceeded to make me the worst, driest, crumbliest scrambled eggs I have ever eaten :)
I add a little dollop or two of mild soft goat cheese - I use the brand "Chavrie" for this -- just after I put the eggs in to the pan.
That gives a very slight tang, and perfect amount of creaminess. Probably anathema to some, but I love it this way.
I love the idea of adding sour cream instead of milk. But I'm another who doesn't like eggs too "wet." I cook mine in the cast-iron skillet, over medium heat. Pour in the eggs, then fold them with a spatula. It only takes about two minutes or so to cook. I like them just fine.
I also enjoy poached eggs on an English muffin. Yum.
Similar results to the original recipe (creamy, french style eggs): I use my Sous Vide setup and cook the eggs in a zip lock bag at 76C (the recipe I have calls for 75C)
Personally I like very wet eggs. I don't measure the amount of milk in mine, I just add a bit and probably a little bit more than one tablespoon into two eggs. I use skim milk BUT I think the wow factor is that I also add tiny bits of butter into the mix right after beating and b/f i poor into pan . About 6-8 tiny dabs. For butter, we only eat Smart Balance butter spread original (less cholesterol). I also add salt and pepper into the mix. For the pan i use olive oil spray. The bits of butter melt as the eggs cook resulting in great, creamy, wet eggs. I cook mine very fast - helps keep them moist. My husband likes my version better than his own and i have shared w/him my secret - include the butter:-)
These eggs are wonderful, truly sumptuous! The only thing is my scrambled eggs standards have risen tenfold - no more dried-up Travelodge style eggs for me.
The most delicious scrambled eggs I learned to make from Chef Gordon Ramsay. His method is similar to the one described above, but requires constant stirring on and off the heat.
This is my approach but I cook them a little quicker. I also add feta and oregano in my scrambled eggs. It might be the Greek in me, but I can't eat eggs without feta. Now I've converted my partner too.
oops, by oregano I mean dried mint. (Oregano and feta is ideal with tomatoes on toast though)
I was a chef for 10 years, and suprisingly found that eggs work well if rather then people adding milk, which in my experience makes eggs watery, add a touch of water (less then a tablespoon). This gives the eggs an even creamier texture. I know it sounds backasswords, but give it a try, it works.
I actually LIKE my scrambled eggs overcooked - awful, I know.
As if scrambled eggs must be either creamy and slow or quick and chopped up!
This is hardly scrambled, but everyone likes it. I prepare a sort of filo dough texture that must be served in sections, not scooped. Stick with the low, slow heat, but instead of stirring, separate the bottom layer from the pan with a spatula and let the liquid flow underneath. Repeat until no liquid remains. A smaller pan is best for more depth and more layers.
I love fluffy creamy scrambled eggs, and here are two tricks to making great fluffy eggs: one is an ingredient and the other is a technique.
I had great eggs like these at Bette's Oceanview Diner in Berkeley, CA recently. Theirs really tasted like butter, which was divine.
I really like cheesy scrambled eggs and my tip for them instead of milk is using cottage cheese, I'm always being asked how I make them so good and creamy. Also works well with plain scrambled yet yes you do still get a little cheese but it really is SO good.
heat destroys the protein in eggs, so a low-temp, slow cook not only makes the yummiest scrambled eggs, but the most nutritious :-)
Generally I don't add milk but lately I've been adding a dollop of this gorgeous raw-milk cream cheese (I've been so lucky to find a distributor, its illegal to sell in my state) right at the end of cooking--nothing like the Philadelphia stuff--with a really nice grassy quality, served on toast, these are the best eggs I've ever had!!
In my family there were two ways to scramble eggs-my father's (basically the same as given here; custardy) and Grandma's. Grandma's eggs-heat butter in small skillet, crack eggs directly into skillet when butter is hot (like fried eggs), immediately add whole milk or half and half , and salt and pepper, and let the cream boil (this is crucial for the flavor), when whites have started to set but before yolks are set, break yolks and give a few quick strokes to mix a bit. Take up while still pretty wet but there should be no liquid, just a soft mass with distinct white and yellow. I like both ways of cooking scrambled eggs. But usually know which kind I want on a given morning.
We're on Weight Watchers, so for 2 of us, I use 2 whole eggs and 2 egg white - to reduce the fat. I use 4 teaspoons of olive oil so we have our healthy oils for the day. I scramble the eggs, then add to the pan. I use a silicone spatula to constantly move the cooked egg to the center, mounding it up, and letting the uncooked egg run to the edges. When the eggs are partially set I add diced onion, sweet peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini. If I decide to splurge on Weight Watchers Points, I'll add a bit of cheese. I learned the technique for moving the cooked egg to the center from a hotel chef who was actually using a plastic spoon (not a cooking spoon) to cook them - that's how low his temperature was set.

Decent Quality but Disappointed with Cold Wash Instructions I didn't realize these were machine wash cold when I ordered them. As people wear these close to their underarms, I really do not understand why they are recommending cold water wash. I do not find cold water washes effective at all for any shirts that are worn close to my underarms, and we own an expensive German-made washing machine so I am sure it is not the machine. Anyway, I am keeping this and will attempt to wash it in warm and hang it to dry. Just wish the manufacturer would allow for the garment to be washed in warm, either by pre-washing it in warm or making the shirts larger. Also, I think that people may want to size up one size. I usually wear smalls in shirts and ordered a small, but I am skeptical that after the warm water wash the shirt will be okay. Finally, I actually would recommend instead of this product above, the 3-packs of the made-in-US undershirts that Vermont Country Store offers. I prefer the quality and feel of those shirts and also the fact that they suggest they should be washed in warm. I am not really sure why people are so pleased with CudlDuds when these other shirts are far better in my opinion. March 10, 2014

Students from the Middle East and North Africa are studying engineering at UM-Dearborn this fall as part of a World Learning program
October 28, 2009
DEARBORN / Oct. 28, 2009---Five peace scholars from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are studying at the University of Michigan-Dearborn this fall as part of a program through the College of Engineering and Computer Science.
The program is designed to foster a new generation of leaders in the MENA region by developing leadership skills, U.S. connections and academic excellence.
The five undergraduate students, all enrolled as juniors or seniors at UM-Dearborn, are studying electrical engineering, chemical engineering and computer science as part of the Peace Scholarships Program, administered by World Learning, an educational NGO based in Washington D.C.
The goal of this program is to reach out to the youth of Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, West Bank and Gaza, and Yemen to provide promising students with one year of undergraduate training in the U.S. and leadership training, regional networking and other skill-building opportunities, according to Barbara Peitsch, a program manager in the Henry W. Patton Center for Engineering Education and Practice at UM-Dearborn.
Peace Scholarships help those who have the potential to contribute to the social and economic development of the Middle East and North Africa by strengthening connections between citizens of the Middle East and North Africa, and the people of the United States.
Last year, the first year of the program, 21 scholars were placed at five U.S. colleges and universities. This year, as many as 27 scholars are being given the opportunity to study at up to seven U.S. colleges and universities.
Program recipients receive scholarships for a year of full-time, undergraduate, non-degree study in the U.S. where they are enrolled in course work chosen from existing curricula that allow them to interact with American faculty and student peers.
Leadership development training and community service/internship opportunities are provided to help the students build skills, understand U.S. values and to enable scholars to develop innovative approaches and solutions to meet the needs of their communities.

Advantage Custom Strings
Lot of good it did for me for shipping times/backorders. I saw a picture on facebook from Martin just a short time ago of what seemed like hundreds of bows in boxes ready to ship to minimize wait times. Guess mine wasn't one of them.
Well, picked up the goods yesterday. The positives: Black and gray strings, white logos on limbs, only one or two minor flaws in paint. The bad: Tight fit for my Trophy Ridge drop slide rest. Only elevates to lower half of berger holes. Do you think it will tune. May sell and get another rest that has plenty of clearance.
Geeze, they were right side up in my pictures

Hi all,
I have recently taken up photography (again, I used to play around with an old Canon film SLR a while back) and got a 650D for Christmas.
Today I have purchased a canon 80-200mm telephoto lens from a colleague at work, unfortunately the lens will not AF. I am unsure why this is, the camera is sensing through the lens an when on automatic mode shutter speed/aperture adjust as the camera is moved. However when the shutter release is pressed the camera does nothing; switching the camera to manual mode it works fine.
Now I only paid a nominal sum for the lens so I am not bothered about the issue from that perspective, I am just curious as to why this might be the case and if there is anything that can address the issue? The lens has a serial number of 4806225B if it helps.
Thanks in advance!

Extremely Uncomfortable!
I ordered these because I received a $15 e-mail coupon from Chadwicks and wanted to try their shoes. They were on Clearance for $19.99 and I liked the leopard pattern and the style. Unfortunately, they are really uncomfortable. The front is narrow and the back slips up and down. They are also kind of stiff and difficult to walk in. Probably won't return them because by the shipping will cost almost as much as the shoes so it's not worth the trouble. I was very disappointed, though, and will not order shoes again.

They also sponsor through their corporations, ALEC, the same organization writing legislation for Right Wing Republicans to engineer and rig voting laws and reproductive rights policy at the state and federal levels of governing. You should be asking yourself why you buy into their favorite undercurrent, that "voting doesn't matter!" Hmm, if voting doesn't matter, then why are they trying to make it harder for all of us to vote?
The problem with politics is that often, people get into politics so that they can make a difference or make things better, but often, greed, human nature and desire for power and maintaining that power gets the better of many of our elected public servants. It is important to keep trying to improve and increase the numbers of those that serve the people, for the greater good and not just the maintenance of power. Sadly, this is not easy. It is also the reason we must keep striving, persistently and consistently with an adherence to strong and good ethics, no matter the risk, the bullying, the ostracism and thuggery that is also part of the political world on both sides of the aisle.
At various times in my life, I have been a card carrying member of the officially "Blackballed", I can tell you that being blacklisted only makes you stronger. The saying of my life is always a little like the following and comes largely from Emiliano Zapata......."Better to die on your feet fighting for your rights, than die on your knees, begging for mercy!"
So it is with this spirit that my husband and I worked, sometimes against great odds and yes, being blackballed that we persevered and pushed, along with other "Pro-Library" community leaders to build our beautiful library, the many quality of life park projects and community improvements. Amazingly enough, it is often people within our own political party that dismiss and disrespect the work, which only goes to show that people forget the purpose of Democratic principles and solidarity.
In the end, there is a difference between being people who merely talk the lingo and philosophy of "Progressive Government and Community Development" and those that actually walk those principles and leave behind tangible and lasting examples of Progressive Democratic principles. So I say to you all, should you find yourself on someone's blacklist and they are not good people, just remember, it is a compliment to your character, not an aspersion. Stay awake, stay strong and vote your principles, no matter the effort to discourage you from your basic rights as a citizen, to vote, to speak truth to power and to stand for something. Above all, decide; are you merely a talker, or a doer?

Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Squeeze-On lets you protect your cat from fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and more the safe, natural and effective way!
Using the power of natural Geranium and Peppermint plant extracts, Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Squeeze-On Treatment is completely non-toxic and absolutely safe for your cat and family. The key to the Herbal Defense Squeeze-On's effectiveness is the scientifically proven, pest repelling power of Geraniol.
Geraniol is made from geranium oil, a natural extract of the geranium flower. For generations, geraniums have been planted around homes and in window boxes to keep fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and other insects out of the house and yard. Following that folk remedy to its natural conclusion, scientists discovered that geranium oil held preventative properties and extracted it in the form of Geraniol; a natural, safe insect repellent.
Geraniol is 400% more effective than citronella at repelling fleas, ticks and mosquitoes, which will help protect your cat from serious health issues:
Added to the amazing potency of Geraniol is the long recognized repellant power of Peppermint oil. Peppermint oil, known for its refreshing smell to humans and animals, is sensed by biting insects as a poison; keeping them at bay, while keeping your cat bite free!
These two ingredients are combined in almond oil; a safe, soothing and soluble liquid that is used to blend this amazingly effective insect repellent. With these three ingredients, you can say good bye to harsh, dangerous chemicals for good while letting your feline friend have the insect free life they deserve!
Why It's Better
The conventional "spot on" treatments that you purchase at the veterinarian or big box pet store are made with pharmaceutical based chemicals that are potentially harmful to your cat. They are so dangerous, in fact, that the Environmental Protection Agency launched an investigation recently because there were receiving so many reports of adverse side effects in pets, including some as serious as death. The long-term health effects of these products are not known, but it is highly unlikely that spreading chemical pesticides into your cat's skin year after year is good for them. Moreover, these conventional spot on treatments usually require the insects to bite your cat before they are killed, meaning your cat gets bitten anyway!
How It Works
Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Squeeze-On was specifically designed by scientist and tested and improved by veterinarians to give your cat a safe and effective alternative to dangerous, pesticide based spot-ons. Our unique squeeze-ons work by combining the natural insect repelling power of Geraniol and Peppermint oil in soothing, soluble almond oil. These ingredients create a topical solution that, when applied properly, keeps biting, disease carrying insects from even latching on to your dog.
Simply spread the hair between your cat's shoulder blades back until you see skin and apply the entire tube of Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Squeeze-On. That's enough to keep your cat protected for an entire month! The easy-to-apply treatment works by allowing the safe and natural essential oils to absorb into your cat's skin. He won't notice a thing, but biting pests will quickly realize that he is no longer an inviting host. The combined, naturally occurring repellant properties of the Geraniol and Peppermint oil will keep the bugs away while leaving him unharmed.
Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Squeeze-Ons:
This safe, natural and effective product is recognized by the EPA as a minimum risk pesticide and qualifies for FIFRA 25(B) Exemption status. Please visit the EPA's website for more information about Minimum Risk Pesticides.
Available in a (approximately) three month supply for cats of all sizes.

Instructions for Use
Snap the cap off the tip of the tube and lift or spread the hair between the shoulder blades of the cat until you can see the skin. Place the tip on the skin area of the cat and apply the entire amount of the tube. Hold the animal for a few seconds to allow the liquid to absorb. Avoid bathing or submerging your dog in water for 24 hours after application. Apply once a month for continuous protection, or more frequently as needed. Reapply after bathing with soap or shampoo.
Herbal Defense Squeeze-On is water resistant but not waterproof. Reapply after bathing with soap or shampoo. Apply more frequently if your pet swims often.
Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Wash hands immediately with soap and warm water after dispensing.
Please Note
Occasionally some cats may have a reaction to the essential oils in the Herbal Defense Squeeze-On, so we recommend testing the product initially by applying a few drops on the nape of the neck, and waiting 24 hours to evaluate any response before applying the full dose. If you do see an adverse reaction, wash your cat with a shampoo or dishwashing liquid that contains detergents, as this is the most effective way to remove the oils causing the reaction. This is not a common occurrence, but it is a good safeguard to use with any squeeze-on or spot-on products.

Sadly, I really had hopes for a kinder flea treatment. It did nothing to kill fleas--I have 6 cats that are really suffering---I used this 3 weeks apart and still no effect---so, I would not try this brand again--
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

all natural and it works
By mama26kids
from western maine
My cats are sensitive to the other types of 'on the neck' chemical flea stuff and would get rashes and get sick. This worked for my cats in conjunction with using diatomaceous earth. My cats had no skin reactions.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works great
By Alexandra
from Grants Pass, OR
This flea medicine for cats worked great. I washed each of my cats before application, maybe that helped. I used it after my cats already had fleas, and it took some dedicated daily cleaning of my home to get rid of the fleas, but after a couple of weeks they were gone, and with the help of this medicine, they have not returned. Next season, I will apply before the weather gets warm to avoid an infestation.
Great Natural Remeday

Great to have a natural alternative
By VikLee

Such a relief to find a flea product that is not full of toxic chemicals. It's also nice to not be outting something on my cat that smells strongly of pesticide. A lot less guilt, too!

Best yet!
By DW
from Cape Coral, FL
I used this on 3 of my cats who go outside for short visits. I live in Florida where there are lots of bugs! Its been a month and no fleas. It is greasy for a few days, but my cats didn't even know I put it on. They had reactions to advantage in the past. Best flea repellant I've found.

Works Great
By Careful shopper
from Costa Mesa, CA
My cats always hated the name brand products for fleas and they used to spend hours trying to lick it off which made me concerned about the toxins. This product smelled great and didn't bother my cats at all and worked very well against fleas. I was so impressed that I gave some of mine to a friend that had small kittens with fleas. She liked it also.

Not sure about effectiveness
By CS
from Salem, OR
My 2 cats are outside 24/7 during the summer so unless I watch them for hours every day, I don't know if they're scratching less.I think you can only know it's effective if you can observe your cats alot.

The win keeps the Dragons (5-6, 4-0 Mountain Valley League) atop the league standings, and leaves the Venture Academy teams (0-8, 0-4 MVL) winless for the season.
Also leading the Dragons on Monday was junior guard Jordan Thornton, whose 17 points for the night included three 3-point shots, and Thornton also had eight assists and five steals.
Sierra 67, Kimball 57
Kimball's chance to move up in the Valley Oak League boys basketball standings hit a snag on Jan. 10 with a loss at home to the Sierra Timberwolves.
The loss leaves the Jaguars (10-7, 2-2 VOL) in third place in the league and puts Sierra (14-3, 4-0) in contention with Weston Ranch for first place.
Except for the first quarter, when Sierra took a 21-9 lead, the teams kept pace with each other through most of the game.
Senior guard DeVante Baisa said the Jaguars have to work on being consistent for the entire game.
"Shots weren't falling, layups weren't going in," Baisa said. "The overall intensity picked up (in the second half). Defense was better and we got more offensive rebounds. That enabled us to get more shots."
Kimball coach Joe Lawrence said Sierra took the early lead when the Timberwolves denied Kimball offensive rebounds.
"That's a well-coached team, and they play hard on defense," Lawrence said. "I was proud of my kids, the way they played tonight. They hung in there the second half and kept fighting the whole time."
Kimball got back into the game in the second quarter with five 3-point shots, including two of Baisa's three 3-pointers. Baisa led the Jaguars with 17 points.
The team totaled nine shots from behind the arc, including three from senior Alex Toledo.
Senior Evan Owens added 11 points and also had eight rebounds, senior Derek Van de Streek scored eight, including one 3-pointer, and junior J.D. Schmidt scored six on two outside shots.

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been completely preoccupied trying to come up with a catchy and informative introduction for this article. We thought maybe it would be fun to play off of AMD's tree-laden GPU codenames to come up with an interesting segue into the Radeon HD 5800 series' power efficiency. But we came up short. Then we thought we could use an image of the Radeon HD 5870's cooler and draw a parallel to the awesomeness that was the original Bat Mobile, but a couple of folks from AMD snagged that idea. Even being briefed on the technology we're about to show you on the very same aircraft carried that scooped up the Apollo 11 astronauts didn't cure the writer's block.
Then it hit us. Why bother? PC Enthusiasts are always chomping at the bit trying to glean even the slightest bit of information about cutting edge GPU technology. And that's exactly what we've got in store for you right here.
We've got a sneaking suspicion that telling you all about the first DirectX 11 compatible GPU, that's crammed with over 2 billion transistors, produced using an advanced 40nm process, would get you all worked up into the kind of frenzy that a no pithy intro could. So, feast your eyes on the Radeon HD 5870, check out the specs and features below, and read on for full scoop on AMD's latest flagship GPU. Just don't get too worked up, too quickly. We want you to make it all the way to the end without passing out...
AMD ATI Radeon HD 5870 DirectX 11 GPU
Via: HotHardware | News Archive | Tags: AMD, ATI, Gaming, DirectX, graphics, GPU, PCI Express, PCIe, dx11
Now this is what I'm talking about. That Spanish review on Tom's Hardware was a little difficult to understand, lol.
One of the things that struck right off the bat was the idle power usage, much lower than any of the other cards tested. The 5870 delivers the best bang per watt and is the best performing single GPU solution on the market. And the price point of $379 is brilliant move by ATI (some sub-$300 should be had this holiday season).
If I can get one of these mommas for under $300, I'll do it, even though I don't have a system to put it in.
Are you sure this is a GPU? I don't see any pictures of Batman characters on it.
That thing is a hoss of a card. And not bad on the numbers even slightly behind the gtx 295 and that is a dual gpu card set.
One unexpected thing that really stuck me as impressive was the power consumption. Right around 4890 or 285 level... nice.
Of course the performance is the main thing. Freaking incredible for single GPU and it spanks the crap out of the GTX 285 despite only costing around $30-$55 more. And why pay $80+ more for the GTX 295 when it's barely faster (or in many cases not faster)? ATi is back on top and without price gouging like some other companies have been known to do ($650 video card in June 2008, anyone?).
With the system requirements of most PC games only very gradually improving, one of these would be all someone needs for quite a bit - though people demanding Crysis perfection will want to pick up 2.
The GTX was in many cases faster than the ATI 5870. But at the same time it had much higher power requirments and costs more. Remember, we'll be seeing 5870 X2's soon as well. Nate's review over at legit reviews shows the 5870's potention in crossfire config. It looked pretty damned impressive.
The GTX 296 doesn't support DX11 either.
I think that the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Is a better deal than the tested Nvidia Card, especially when you take into consideration the amount of performance for the price.
NVIDIA will probably lower prices to counter this situation, but then ATI will follow suit.
I know that every time that I've bought a graphics card within the past two years, ATI offered the best bang for the buck at that time.
I appreciate that,...
The reviewers at AnanTech were disappointed that the 5870 didn't outperform the GTX 295. And even moreso that doubling the hardware power from the 4870 didn't translate into the double the performance.
ATI made such a large leap from the 3870 to the 4870, and I think we didn't witness the same with the 5870. However, it's still the best single GPU card on the market, and barring two GTX 295x in SLI (though there are problems associated with quad GPU configs and the enormous power requirements), two 5870's in Crossfire will give gamers the most stable, powerful video gaming power available.
A 5870 x2 poses problems for ATI, especially in terms of power. Right now we're seeing a lot of great news on the 5870, but Nvidia can really beat ATI into the ground with something that's revolutionary rather than evolutionary.
That's a very good looking card, however regardless of the performance, I'm still loyal 100% to nvidia. I always have driver issues with ati. Driver issues outweigh the performance in my opinion.
When considering the 5870 is a single gpu and the gtx 295 and 4870x2 are dual gpu cards, the numbers are impressive.
What I'm very impressed with the fact that they've been able to drop the power used. One would expect that they would just keep pushing the power required higher and higher, but to improve the performance while keeping the power under the previous generation is showing that AMD/ATI is trying to not build us space heaters that can play games.
Yesterday, CyberPowerPC offered these cards in their custom system configurators. Of course, it takes a little while for them to build you a systm, so I guess they would have waited till today to plug in the GPU.
Newegg has several versions available for the MSRP of $380. I agree with the sentiment that it's a decent price for what you get, though I'll still wait to pick one up (pre- and post-holiday sales and maybe Xmas presents, if Mom takes the hint).
I won't pay the new tax, but will wait for a month or two to get one at a more reasonable price. This is a slick Video Card and I can't wait to try it out! ATI does it again.
Hi All
Excellent Review.
AMD/ATI really outdid themselves with this GPU.
They not only increased performance, but also introduced a host of new features as well.
It'll be intersting to see how Nvidia responds.
Well, looks like i'm still safe with my GTX295... no need to upgrade yet :-D
In the short term NVIDIA will respond with price cuts, in the long term, expect a killer new GPU...
Yeah - gotta love competition! :)
Good looking card, but my 275gtxs are sitting pretty still
All Linux guys choose NVidia for three reasons:
* ATi drivers are generally poor quality and even worse in Linux;
* ATi is randomly dropping support even for video cards that are still shipping and not updating legacy drivers to keep up with the times;
* ATi has all kinds of horrible blunders in Linux drivers that cause most games to have serious issues, even WoW does not work right half the time.
Bottom line - ATi might have the greatest hardware, but unless they fix their software, they are pretty screwed.
I can't disagree (I prefer nVidia cards in my Linux boxes for the very reasons you cited), but the ATI situation is improving now that ATI opened up their docs (which nVidia has yet to do):
- 2.6.32 has open source kernel mode setting and 3D support for newer ATI cards.
- The 5870 should work with the already released 9.9 drivers, as opposed to the situation where I've bought a brand new nVidia card (9600GT) and had to wait over two months for them to release a proprietary Linux driver.
- The ATI drivers are performing more in line with their Windows counterparts nowadays. It used to be really atrocious though: I remember years back when I had a GF4400 and ATI9600XT card: On windows the ATI would win in the benchmarks... under Linux the ATI would run at about 1/3rd speed of the nVidia card.
So, if the trend of improvement from ATI continues, it's not improbable that we won't see the competition in the Linux sector get a bit tighter... with all the resulting consumer benefits. :)
holy crap look at that thing are they sure its a GPU not a small computer
Hey, wait a second... if you turn it on it's side it does look a bit like a HAL 9000.
It totally looks like the original batmobile...click the link in the intro.
Lol... it does, now that I clicked on the "snagged that idea" link.
When I was a kid, I saw the batmobile at a car show... and got Yvonne Craig's autograph.... ahhh... good times.
Looks really bad ass and i mean really! They have on sale where i live for about 400 dollars and thats really expensive
How long is this card it looks about maybe 12 inches? Power supply requirements looks pretty low for a powerful card? Only 500 watts? Man the gtx 295 needs about 550 watts and you are looking at getting maybe a 750-800w psu just to power the 295
Looking at the benchmarks for crysis and far cry 2, it looks like this card did pretty alright but it still looks as if the gtx 295 beats it by about 5 fps. On far cry 2 even its predecessor the 4870 x2 does better!
Either way I would want to buy just to see how good it is except i font know if my power supply would handle it (I have a 680 watt). Cant wait till Nvidia releases its new 300 series probably gonna be even more expensive than this one, and maybe even higher on performance (perhaps 200 gigabytes a second on memory bandwith, I hope) Time will reveal.

This is going to come out as a bit of a confession. When I first saw Warm Bodies, a zany and adorable zombie love story, I did not realize I had seen the handsome star, Nicholas Hoult, in anything before. It was only when the film landed in the wonderful world of On-Demand that I got that, "Have I seen him in something else?" twitch that had me running to IMDB.
I was shocked when I discovered the actor was the child star from About a Boy all grown up. Nicholas played the sweet, young Marcus Brewer who braved a school talent show to sing "Killing Me Softly" because it might cheer up his Mom. It is such a ripple in time when you see child stars then and now.
Many child stars from the mid- to late-nineties and early 2000′s are still working in the entertainment industry. We are so used to hearing about child stars who went off the deep end, but for every Bynes, Lohan, or Furlong there are many more hard at work and continuing to be involved with cool projects. I root for the success of these child stars as if they were friends I grew up with.
16 Favorite Child Stars Then and Now
Child Stars Then and Now 1 of 27
Whatever happened to Curly Sue, Madeline, Matilda? Find out what the child stars of the 1990's and 2000's are up to with a look at child stars then and now.

Cast of Now and Then – then 2 of 27
Now and Then was an absolute girl movie MUST-see when it came out in 1995. Demi Moore, Rita Wilson, Melanie Griffith, and Rosie O'Donnell were cast as the adult versions of the girls in the movie, and up-and-coming child stars were given a big break to shine.
{Sadly, Ashleigh Aston Moore (far left), who played Chrissy, passed away in 2007.}

Gaby Hoffmann – Now 3 of 27
Gaby Hoffmann is very busy these days. The actress is starring, with Michael Cera, in the indie film Crystal Fairy. She is also in Goodbye World with Adrian Grenier. Both films will be released in 2013. Gaby was recently on HuffPost Live talking about what it was like to work as a child star. When talking about working with director Mel Gibson she mentions how he made her cry.
"I think I was acting like a kid instead of a professional actor," she quipped of what she did to set him off. "It happens once in a while when you're a kid actor."

Christina Ricci – Now 4 of 27
It seems like Christina Ricci has never taken a break from acting. She is one of those great examples of child stars who transitioned effortlessly from child to adult roles and just kept on going. She does often remark that she is thrilled not be a child star in today's world.
"You know, I made all the mistakes a lot of young stars are making today. I partied, I drank. But during my time there weren't that many photographers around. I had more freedom!"

Thora Birch – Now 5 of 27
Thora Birch's career was headed for great things. She was to make her debut on Broadway in a production of Dracula in 2010, but four days before her first performance she was shockingly let go. Rumors swirled about why the actress was released from the stage production. The director released a statement revealing it was because of an incident with Thora's father, and not because of Thora's acting abilities. Regardless, the actress was not seen professionally for a few years. She is now in pre-production on a film with Sharon Stone and Rob Schneider.

Cast of The Sandlot – Then 6 of 27
The Sandlot arrived on the big screen in 1993 and I still have friends who quote this film daily. There was just something about the chemistry of the boys in the cast and the love of baseball that made this movie a classic.
Image Credit: IMDB, 20th Anniversary DVD
Ham and Squint – Now 7 of 27
Fans of The Sandlot should be thrilled to know that not only are Ham and Squints doing okay -- they are still buds in real life. This image is from a recent press photo shared by the Minnesota Twins. Actors Patrick Renna (Ham) and Chauncey Leopardi (Squints) are on Twitter if you want to give them a wave.

Tom Guiry – Now 8 of 27
I worked with Tom Guiry on a film in 2000 and he was determined to shed his child actor image. In an interview celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Sandlot, Tom reminisces about what it was like working on the movie at the age of 11.
"I remember everyone being really cool. We were always laughing, and it was so much fun. We'd just have so much fun cause with kids that age it was like going to summer camp."
Image Credit: IMDB
Spy Kids – Then 9 of 27
Alexa Vega – Now 10 of 27
Alexa Vega has been working non-stop since Spy Kids. Recently she teamed back up with director Robert Rodriguez to make a massive leap into what Alexa calls "owning her sexuality."
Image Credit: PR Photos
Daryl Sabara – Now 11 of 27
Daryl Sabara has been in the acting industry since he was an infant. Seriously. He is actually that kid who was discovered as an infant while his mom was simply walking around Los Angeles. Daryl's very first role was as Murphy Brown's baby on the sitcom Murphy Brown. He has several film projects in the works, and you probably just heard him as a voice actor on Gravity Falls.

Abigail Breslin – Then 12 of 27
Abigail Breslin was a breakout star in Little Miss Sunshine when it was released in 2006, and should be credited for bringing back headbands and legwarmers.
Image Credit: IMDB
Abigail Breslin- Now 13 of 27
Abigail Breslin has been performing nonstop since Little Miss Sunshine and was most recently seen in the thriller, The Call. In speaking about growing up on the big screen Abigail says:
"I've been really lucky that people have accepted me growing up a little bit and that I've gotten to do such great characters in the past year. I feel like it's been a pretty smooth transition. I feel really lucky about that and I'm really grateful. But it's been fun."

Nicholas Hoult – Then 14 of 27
Oh look, there is Nicholas Hoult, that sweet boy from About a Boy. The 2002 film also starred Toni Collette and Hugh Grant.
Image Credit: IMDB
Nicholas Hoult – Now 15 of 27
And here is Nicholas Hoult as a zombie in Warm Bodies. I am still so surprised by how different he looks! Nicholas is currently doing press for the film Jack the Giant Slayer (he plays Jack). In a recent interview he spoke candidly about why he thinks he achieved success as an actor when so many child stars do not.
"And that made me think about all of the opportunities that I've had: my brother did this, my sister did that, which got me the agent; my parents were fortunate enough that they could take time off work to drive me to auditions; and I got this break, and that break, and it all melds together."
Image Credit: IMDB
Haley Joel Osment – Then 16 of 27
The Sixth Sense was one of those great audience conspiracy films that was popular around the millennium. If you saw the movie you were in on the twist ending, and you didn't want to ruin the thrill of discovery for anyone else. I remember asking people if they had seen The Sixth Sense and then treading carefully with conversation if they had not. Haley Joel Osment was age 11 when he made the movie, and was the 2nd youngest actor to receive an Academy Award nomination for a supporting role.
Image Credit: IMDB
Haley Joel Osment – Now 17 of 27
Haley Joel Osment turned 25 this year and is busy in Hollywood. He just finished work on Alpha House, a pilot with John Goodman. He is also working on development of an indie comedy.
From Variety, "Sex Ed" revolves around Osment's character who teaches sexual education to a bunch of middle schoolers, despite his own lack of expertise in the field.
(Random Trivia: Haley Joel Osment also played Murphy Brown's son in the TV Show Murphy Brown.)

Jake Lloyd – Then 18 of 27
The world was watching and waiting to find out just who would be cast as the young Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode One. It turned out to be Jake Lloyd.
Casting Call: "Caucasian, 8-9. Anakin is a handsome young boy with extraordinary charm. He has a vulnerability and earnestness that makes him totally disarming. His amazing aptitude for things mechanical, together with his quick wit and physical fitness make him a natural pilot at an early age, maturing into a fighter pilot of exceptional talent. Anakin's resourceful imagination and inventive mind already set him apart from others. OBI WAN KENOBI is later to recognize his innate gifts, becoming his friend and mentor and teaching him the attributes of a Jedi Knight. Anakin is a role model of the highest order, someone every boy would like to be...LEAD."
Image Credit: IMDB
Jake Lloyd – Now 19 of 27
Jake Lloyd is a child actor who was thrust into, well, complete and utter chaos. Being an unknown kid and then suddenly a part of the mega franchise of Star Wars is something no one can ever prepare for, and Jake's childhood was not a blast. After his obligations to to Star Wars were over (these included work on several video games), he and his family decided he would remove himself from the acting world completely.
From an interview with MTV five years ago, "None of us really understood exactly how much that film would affect us for the rest of our lives."
Image Credit: PR Photos
Jonathan Lipnicki – Then 20 of 27
It is hard to imagine any other boy than Jonathan Lipnicki as little Ray in Jerry Maguire. Thanks to this movie we all know how much the human head weighs. (This movie is also the reason why I do, "1,2,3, wheee" with my son when we walk on the sidewalk.)
Image Credit: IMDB
Jonathan Lipnicki – Now 21 of 27
Recently Jonathan shared he was almost not in Jerry Maguire. As is often the case in Hollywood casting stories, another child star was originally cast to play the part of Renée Zellweger's son but that actor dropped out of the project. Jonathan was cast in the role and his career took off from there. He took off a few years but is now eagerly working on many projects. He just reached out to an old friend for a bit of career advice.
"I cold called [Tom Cruise's] office... and I got a response pretty quickly... and within a few months we found a date, I met up with him and I realized it was the perfect time... I needed some guidance... and there's so much I took from that conversation."

Hatty Jones – Then 22 of 27
Madeline, a movie based on the very successful children's books, was released in 1998, with Hatty Jones starring as Madeline herself. The movie was so popular the name Madeline started a pop culture baby name trend!

Hatty Jones – Now 23 of 27
Hatty Jones would have been much more of a household name if casting odds had been in her favor in 2000. An American filmmaker was just announced as the director of the first Harry Potter film and speculation started to grow about just who would be the young cast. The role of Hermione Granger was between two actresses: Hatty Jones and Emma Watson.
Hatty is now a successful stage actress in the UK who also continues to work on many film and TV projects.

Mara Wilson – Then 24 of 27
Matilda, released in 1996, is one of those cool and quirky kids movies. Based on a novel by the brilliant Roald Dahl, Matilda tells the story of an "extraordinary child with ordinary and rather unpleasant parents," and Mara Wilson was the cutie pie that brought it all together.
Image Credit: IMDB
Mara Wilson – Now 25 of 27
You can find Mara Wilson where all cool people are these days: on the Internet. Mara blogs often at Mara Wilson Writes and her posts have been syndicated in many places. She recently wrote a fantastic piece called 7 Reasons Child Stars Go Crazy that is a must-read.
"Most of you reading this felt pretty disgusting and useless while you were going through puberty. But imagine that people you once relied on and trusted -- as well as millions of people you'd never met, who had previously liked you -- had told you then, "Yeah, it's true. You are exactly as ugly and worthless as you feel."

Alisan Porter – Then 26 of 27
Curly Sue was released in theatres in 1991 and cast the adorable Alisan Porter as the lead. Alisan landed the role after her huge success on the show Star Search.

Alisan Porter- Now 27 of 27
Alisan is now 31, married, and has a one-year-old son and is part of a group mom blog called Lil Mamas.
In an open and well written piece she wrote in 2008 she shares, "I often reflect about who exactly I am. It is sometimes hard for other people to see me as anything but Curly Sue. I ask myself if they know I'm a dancer. A choreographer. A teacher. Do they know I write my own music and play with my own band? Do they know I have struggled with addiction and am now proudly a sober woman? Yes, even I didn't escape the child star curse! To me, all these things make up who I truly am."

Current thoughts are either Cardigan (probably a loop over Cardigan and Firescrew) or Morgan/Percival. We've never done either of these and they both look like great fall hike candidates. I'd love to hear opinions of those that have done them and recommendations on any better ideas as well.

Now that classes are back in session, I really hope some professor at Cardozo Law School pulls Benula Bensam aside and tells her that her keeping the story about her passing notes to Judge Jed Rakoff (S.D.N.Y.) alive is probably not helping her chances of securing a legal job.
You'll remember Bensam as the student who got reprimanded for passing notes to Judge Rakoff during the Rajat Gupta trial. She went on to sue federal prosecutors and marshals for a number of claims arising out of largely standard courthouse security protocols. As we've previously discussed, upon leaving the courthouse Bensam wanted her cell phone back and had problems getting it.
Judge Andrew L. Carter (S.D.N.Y.) kicked most of Bensam's case today, but he did give her leave to file an amended complaint on one issue.
For her sake, I hope she doesn't take it…
