Aspiring Bakers #8: Mini Butter Buns 牛油小面包
I first saw these mini butter buns from Min's blog and find them really cute. The recipe is also simple enough for me who is starting breadmaking all over again. The dough is easy for me to manage, it turn non-sticky after kneading for sometime. Wrapping the buns with butter needs a bit of time and effort, other than that I'm quite enjoying the whole process. :)
I like the smell of breads fresh from the oven, you know when you walk pass the bakeries? This time the smell comes from my kitchen. It makes you forget how your wrestle with the dough earlier and the few hours spent just to make these buns. Although the ingredients are simple (no eggs and milk/cream used), the softness of the bread is still good. Surprisingly, on the next day, it still remain as good as yesterday.
Dough: Not sticky
Same day softness: 7/10
Next day softness: 7/10
Mini Butter Buns 牛油小面包 (from 孟老师的三色土司)
Ingredients (makes 25 mini buns)
150g bread flour
15g sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/2+1/8 tsp instant yeast (sorry for the funny measurements because I halved the recipe)
90ml water
10g unsalted butter
50g butter
10g icing sugar
pinch of salt (I added because I like it a bit salty)
1. Mix the ingredients in the filling. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour so that it is easier to wrap later.
2. Mix all ingredients in the dough except butter and knead until the dough is smooth.
3. Add in butter and continue to knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic and able to stretch into a thin film without breaking.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with cling wrap and let proof for about 60 minutes.
5. Lightly knead the dough to punch out the gas. Divide the dough into small balls of 10g each.
6. Slightly flatten the small dough, wrap in the butter fillings and pinch to seal well. Roll the balls round and place them in a greased baking tray 1cm apart (I use 8x8in tray which is a little too big).
7. Cover with cling wrap and proof for another 40 minutes.
8. Brush the top with egg mixture and sprinkle sugar on top.
9. Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 20 minutes.
Recipe adapted from: 孟老师的100道面包 and Min's Blog

Hi SSB,ReplyDelete
I can't help blurting out a "wow" when seeing the photos of the buns. They're just sooo cute. It seems that they're there urging me to start making and baking buns like that. My kids love buns and butter, so I think I should try your recipe soon. Thank you for sharing.
Can I ask you something:
1. Can I make the filling one day ahead? How long can the filling be kept in the refrigerator? We just take the filling out of the refrigerator right when we're ready to use it, right?
2. When you said "mix the ingredients in the filling", did you mean we should mix all of them with a stand/hand mixer? And can I use only butter (unsalted or salted) for the filling, because I'm not sure I'll like butter with sugar?
3. The butter you used is all softened at room temperature, right?
4. What is the egg mixture that you brushed on the tops of the buns? Was it lightly beaten egg? Or lightly beaten egg with water?
I'm sorry for asking many questions. That's because I'm really inexperienced in baking breads and buns, so I need as many advice as I can get :). Thank you in advance and have a great weekend.
lovely & cute looking little buns! Looks so inviting! :)ReplyDelete
RPVN: Thanks for your compliments! I'm also not very experienced in making bread, but I will try my best to answer your questions. :)ReplyDelete
1. Yes, you can make the filling in advance. Should be able to keep for a long time, it's just butter and sugar mixture only. You can spread the mixture, leave it the fridge to harden slightly then cut into small cubes, then chill until ready to use. To make it easier, use salted butter, cute into small cubes. Bring it out only when ready to wrap. Harden butter makes wrapping easier.
2. I just mix with a spoon, you can use a mixer if you are making a big batch. You can use salted butter, I prefer salty fillings.
3. The butter I use in the dough is from the fridge. They will turn soft very fast when you knead. My preference. :)
4. Just lightly beaten egg, no water added.
Hope I have helped. I also have a lot to learn. :)
They are cute :)ReplyDelete

- Anonymous13 June 2011 22:37
Please help me. I tried baking these little buns twice and on both occasions, the butter started leaking out once it goes into the oven. Bread ended up more fried than baked. It is soft and fluffy in the inside but crust is like fried bun due to the layer of oil in the oven. I ensured I had wrapped the bun properly. Do you know what could have possibly gone wrong? Will appreciate your advice.
I have tried many recipes from your blog and they worked out really well. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jas, thanks for trying my recipes!ReplyDelete
I think you need to seal the buns really well. Pinch the ends tightly and put the sealed end facing down as the base.
Another thing is don't let the edges of the dough get in touch with butter (or any fillings) and use clean fingers to pinch. If not the sealed end will still split during baking.
Hope it helps! :)
SSB, the bun look so cute! and it look delicious! (: i love the fragrance when baking bread too (:ReplyDelete

hi, can i know what instant yeast can i use to bake these lovely looking buns? pls email me at email@example.com
when when we knead the dough to make bread how to know when to stop. thanks.
looks cute and professional standard :DReplyDelete
Anonymous: You can use Bake King instant yeast which is easily available at any supermarkets.ReplyDelete
You can pinch a small piece of dough, if you can stretch it into a thin film without breaking, kneading is done. If it breaks, then continue kneading and perform the check again.
Some recipes are harder to achieve this stage esp if you are kneading by hand and not machine. It's ok, as long as it is stretchable, it is good enough.
Hi SSB,ReplyDelete
I tried the recipe you listed, it is so NICE!!! THKS!!!

Hi SSB, how long did u knead the dough? I kneaded for 20 mins but was unable to achieve the elasticity.ReplyDelete
Dolly: I used to have a bread machine to help me knead. It was only recently I started to knead with hands. Extremely difficult to reach the very thin-membrane stage. It's ok, as long as it is elastic and able to stretch without breaking. I never time. Could be up to 30 minutes or more.ReplyDelete
hi ssb, tried out these buns yesterday. I have two questions.How to achieve the satin smooth surface for the buns like yours..? Mine was a tad untidy. 2). The buns weren't as soft the next day.. Could you please tell me where i had gone worng..? Thank you for posting the recipe, everybody enjoyed it.ReplyDelete
Happy-bowl: Thanks for trying the recipe!ReplyDelete
I found a video for you which shows how to roll the dough round and smooth.
Homemade buns tend to turn hard on the next day because no additives are added. I'm also looking for the perfect recipe that yields soft buns that can last for a few days. You can keep trying more recipes to find the perfect bun recipe for you.
Hope it helps. :)
Thank you SSB for the reply. It was of good help. Your blog is very inspiring..ReplyDelete

Hi, i am using hand method to knead the dough. i am facing some problem here and i hope for some advice :)ReplyDelete
1. U mentioned mixed all in ingredient except butter, does it include water also? add all at one time, or water to be later, a bit by bit?
2. My dough did not proof after 60 minutes later, what's went wrong?
Looking forward to you reply~ :)
Hi, thanks for trying the recipe.ReplyDelete
1) Yes, add everything (except butter) including water. Knead until you get a dough, then add butter and knead until smooth and elastic.
I normally don't add all water. Eg, for this 90ml, I will add 80ml first, leaving 10ml to be added last, bit by bit. If the dough getting too wet I will not add everything, cos the type of flour and humidity will also affect the water absorption.
2. I'm not sure why your dough did not proof. Must be something wrong with your yeast. Are you using instant yeast or active dry yeast? Instant yeast can be added directly to your ingredients. If you are using active dry yeast, you need to dissolve it in warm water to activate the yeast first.
The recommended room temperature for first proofing is about 28-30 Deg C.
Hope it helps. Happy baking!

I'm trying it again today~ but still the dough did not proof.. im using instant yeast.. method is as same as what u mention but still not proofing~ :P

Explore the countryside and the coast of Spain's Basque Country by bike, and you'll see, smell, and hear more than you ever could from a motorized ride. Stop at small villages to catch your breath and ask the locals about the road ahead. In and around the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve in northern Spain are ten cycling routes linking towns and prime spots in the park; check in at the visitors center for maps and all the information you need for your cycle tour.
The balmy Mediterranean climate, a bike and the Balearic Islands; this is a recipe for relaxed fun if ever there was one. The weather is right just about any time of year to wind along the archipelago's tracks and trails to find beautiful coves and stunning landscapes and little towns you won't want to leave.
Italy offers endless and amazing opportunities for cyclists - from mountain biking to downhill and street biking with movie set scenery hills you'll never forget. The choice of bike tour itineraries covers a range of ability levels and includes the option of lodging in comfortable and practical bike hotels equipped to accommodate aficionados of this sport. Imagine biking under the Tuscan sun, or along the coast of the Cinque Terre, stopping to catch your breath as much from the awesome scenery as any physical effort you're making. Enjoy la dolce vita even more when you've awakened all your senses on a bike ride through Italy.
What better way to experience the tranquil and serene feeling of the narrow village streets of Malta? Cycling through the countryside lanes between the crumbling rubble walls with views of the sea between the hills will fill your memory – and probably your camera – with scenes to delight you for years. Combine this with stops at historical and cultural places of interest along the route, and you have the best combination of a healthy, sporty and relaxed holiday. Distances between towns and villages on both Malta and Gozo are very short, requiring little effort - perfect for a relaxing day out on your bike.
Experience the culture, history and wonderful scenery of Cyprus from the saddle of a bike. A cycle tour enables you to come across things which you would miss from inside a car: A chance encounter with a local; a stunning landscape to linger over; the sights and sounds of nature up close; an ancient ruin or a secluded cove. Follow one of the many cycling routes or even make your own. Set the pace you desire, for training or leisure, and feel your lungs with fresh air while making your bit to fight global warming and protect the environment.
Greece is almost entirely navigable by bike, allowing you to get loads of exercise for your body while your mind reels with the ancient sites and postcard views there are to see. Almost constant sunshine and low humidity extend good biking weather to almost every month of the year. Head to the Pindus range and you'll find special mountain biking trails; even around Athens a cyclist can visit some interesting routes for mountain biking in Parnitha, Varibobi, Pentedli and Dionisos. Other appealing regions in the country are: Euboia, Evritania, Karytena Arkadia, Mani, Parnassos and Nafpaktos. Local ycling associations or cycling tour companies will help you amass all the maps and tips you need to have a splendid ride through the wonders of Greece.
Sweeping vistas will challenge you to keep your eye on the road when you cycle through Turkey. You'll find cycling is absolutely enthralling along the glistening Mediterranean Turquoise Coast or the mysterious and savagely beautiful Black Sea, in the eastern highlands with raging rivers and challenging ascents, or through the lunar, molded landscape of Cappadocia. Prepare well and consider using a tour operator specializing in cycle tourism, to make sure you're ready for the constantly improving but sometimes surprising road conditions you may encounter.
Tourism is flourishing in the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Warm Mediterranean hospitality will linger in your memories.
The wild and woolly Atlantic rolls ashore on many coasts.

The Plum Blossom
The plum blossom and bamboo sometimes are paired as friends in Chinese culture. Both are symbols of purity and steadfastness. This pairing is reflected in this late 17th-early 18th century painting and the accompanying poem. He Shikun was a Ming-dynasty figure who is identified in two local gazetteers as being from Xinhui, in Guangdong. The inscription here, however, identifies him as being from Wuyang, an old name for Guangzhou, to the north of Xinhui. In 1646, in the chaotic weeks before Xinhui surrendered to the Qing dynasty forces that had ...

No, I do not think that the west should attack Iran and I think these governments should also lift the sanctions they have imposed on them. If you're concerned about nuclear proliferation I think one strategy would be to end the policy of bellicosity - constantly attacking nations who do not have nuclear weapons is going to be a pretty big aggravating factor towards those nations developing nuclear weapons, as the heads of the various enemy regimes will know that a nuclear weapon is the only guarantee they have of holding on to their power and not being the subject of regime change.
I don't see why the Iranians are such an allegedly warlike nation that we would all be imperiled by their having nuclear weapons. What evidence is there that they are so evil and monstrous that they would launch a nuclear first strike? What evidence is there that they have a nuclear weapons program in the first place? it would be nice if we lived in a world without nuclear weapons, and i think the idea of unilteral disarment is a good one but I find the idea that we MUST wage war on nation X lest they wage war on us in the future to be a rather puzzling one, since we are at the same time saying it is evil to wage war and doing this action ourselves. This stance is hypocritical. The only time that it's justified to go to war is when you are under attack by a foreign government and even then you should limit the conflict to killing their army.
I think that if we want to live in a world without war, nuclear or conventional, we should work to live in a world without states. Pax terra is an achievable goal but our strongest influence that can be had towards this goal is to abolish our own governments, demonstrate what peace and prosperity can be had in an anarchistic society and then hope the world follows our examples. The state, an evil organization which constantly uses violence, aggression, coercion and extortion is the least trust worthy organization for the possession of nuclear weapons.
... just as the State
has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own - Albert Jay Nock
What is your opinion when a foreign government declares the use of nuclear weapons without stating that the purpose is for a war? They usually use them for demonstrations, tests etc...
Usually anyone that is against the state does not support any government actions whatsoever, especially since nuclear weapons, wheter the government agresses or only uses it for testing purposes comes out of taxpayer money (i.e theft).
What do you think about the real case of Iran? Do you believe that US and others governments should interfere in order to prevent the use of nuclear weapons from Iran?
Since governments are illegitimate, what I think about Iranian government: --> it should not exist.
Neither should any other government for that matter. But to answer your question directly, most noninterventionists would oppose governments fighting in any way shape or form.
What do you answer to those who support such interventions because they believe that if we let Iran use nuclear weapons, then they may lauch a war on West countries with horrible consequences?
What incentive does Iran have for a war? The iranians know that they will get destroyed by Israel, United states, and all of nato combined. So tell me, what incentive does Iran even have?
"Since people are concerned that 'X' will not be provided, 'X' will naturally be provided by those who are concerned by its absence.""The sweetest of minds can harbor the harshest of men."
Not all governments openly "declare" owning nuclear weapons. Israel has been playing the ambiguity card for almost four decades now, South Africa actually had a number of Israeli-made weapons during the Apartheid Era and Brazil initiated a nuclear weapon program without fanfare, only to terminate it because of lack of funding.
Also, if you own nuclear weapons the problem is you also need a nuclear doctrine. Those things aren't just weapons of mass destruction: they are powerful bargaining chips. Short of starting throwing them around, you acquire them to sit at the negotiating table in a strong position. One of the reasons Pakistan has been treated like a whipping boy despite being a nuclear power is their doctrine is non-existant. Perwez Musharraf had the nukes but lacked all the ideological apparatus countries such as Israel and France have developed.
How do you deal with a nuclear-armed country? It all depends on the doctrine they developed. Example: it's pretty obvious that a hypothetical Iranian nuclear doctrine would be aimed at containing Israel, especially if Iran could develop a so-called second strike capability (the ability to launch a nuclear strike even if the country gets hit first: nuclear-armed submarines are the usual choice). But, as Pakistan proved, this is far from enough. Israel (and to a lesser degree France) has been known to very aggressively use their nuclear capability at the negotiating table. During the Yom Kippur War, Israel went on full nuclear alert and made sure the US knew about it. Operation Nickel Grass was authorized by Kissinger in a matter of hours. During the First Gulf War, Israeli officials made very sure both the US and the Arabs knew they were ready to obliterate Baghdad in case a single chemical-tipped missile hit Israel. I personally believe they would not have gone that far but deterrent wasn't the point: Saddam knew perfectly well about the Israeli nuclear arsenal. The point was forcing the Arabs and the Americans into giving Israel ridicously generous conditions for "not interferring". It worked.
There's no taylor-made solution for dealing with nuclear armed States.
About Iran... I am pretty sure if that country didn't feel a knife against its throat things would go much smoother for all parts involved. Iran has agreed to inspections from AIEA to prove they aren't building nuclear weapons. Of course there are many who say they can do so in secret, but there's a catch. You cannot build nuclear weapons in secret. The facilities needed to manufacture them leave a very distinct "footprint" analysts know how to read. When Israel was building Dimona, the CIA kept the site under close surveillance by means of U2 overflights. HUMINT wasn't successful in infiltrating the plant but there was no need for it: the analysts knew perfectly well what was going on. With North Korea (DPRK), it was even easier: the CIA and the Mossad (which maintains an extensive network in Central Asia) knew DPRK officials were in talks with the infamous Khan Network for a nuclear program. Iran is kept in the crosshair of reconnaisance satellites and has been overflown by RQ170 drones (whose scope was prolonged surveillance of nuclear sites in "rogue nations" with limited AA capabilities). By now proofs should have surfaced, if they exist. Of course there's always the possibility the US know such a program exists and are doing nothing about it. After all they did nothing to stop Israel and DPRK, but those two are different stories.
And about interventionists... Israel has the means to threaten Russia, Europe and, since the new Jericho 4 ICBM went into service, the Continental US as well. Israel has threatened multiple times to attack Russia and set the Middle East ablaze. Israel has been using nuclear blackmail to get what she wants for at least four decades now. Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard stole US nuclear secrets, part of which were sold to the USSR. Yet nobody has nothing to object about Israeli nuclear weapons, perhaps because effective propaganda makes people think Israeli leaders are wise and cautious while Iranian leaders are religious fanatics ready to take the whole world down with them. They aren't: a nuclear armed Iran cannot be worse than a nuclear armed Israel.
Some claim that Iran may use nuclear weapons in aggression because they are extremists, fanatics muslims.
You know, that's one of those ambiguous and unhelpful statements that don't really fly around here.
I really wish my post could escape moderation...
I've known many muslims and none have ever been in the slightest aggressive towards me. Once I blasphemed in front of a few of them and they asked me politely not to. On the other hand Christian? / atheist white people have many times committed aggression against me. And if you look on the global scale, in the last decade white people / christians / atheists? have murdered hundreds of thousands of moslims / atheists? / arabic people so I think if there's any real concern it's that white people / christians / atheists / barack obama are going to murder a bunch of moslims instead of the other way around, be it via nuclear weapons or what have you.
The only reason Muslims shouldn't kill infidels when they have the chance is because they are inconsistent with their own religion. The United States and Christians at least have the doctrine of forgiveness in the latter case, and the admission that they don't want to indiscriminately kill people in the former.
Both Calvin and Luther were in favour of converting people to their sects of christianity by the sword. Personally I do not think the Mohamadens are any more warlike than Christians or vice versa, the reason why we are more brutal towards them is because we have the power and they do not.
I am not part of this "we" of which you speak.
Islam directly condones the murder and forced conversion of those who have different religions. There is a distinct and permanent link between Islam, the state, and law which makes peace, freedom, and tolerance incompatible with Islamic dominance. I don't care what you "think", I am saying that any Muslim who is tolerant and not warlike is either inconsistent or engaging in active revisionism. I could probably read Marx or be a Marxist in such a way to support capitalism, but I would either be disingenuously interpreting the things that Marx said, or I would be being inconsistent with Marxist principles.
This is not to say that such Muslims do not exist, only that they are guilty of one of these two things. I am not surprised that many Muslims who live in the modern world turn their back on their real religion as well as their true heritage. Modern ideologies of tolerance and moderation, as well as the wonderful lifestyle that the liberal doctrines have bestowed upon mankind are both great reasons for Islam to rearrange itself, especially from those who are directly exposed to them. God is dead and if he's ever brought back it'll be from people like real Muslims or radical Christians plunging us back into the dark ages.
Christians have had the power for centuries now, but it's been a very long time since they have forced their religion on infidels by threat of death.
Finally, Christianity bases itself around a peace-preaching prophet who died a martyr and preached forgiveness, while Islam was founded by a theocratic warrior king. Considering how bloody Christianity's history of dominance was back when it was taken more seriously, I'd... hate to see what an Islamic regime would look like if the Muslims haven't watered down their own religion.
There are hardly any modern day christians that support the crusades. While it is true that in the medieval times, religions often clashed and many died, in the modern times, blaming religion for war is just absurd.
Many people also blame christians for things that politicians do because politicians assert themselves as christians. It disgusts me that they do....
Politicians only use the "christian" label to gain votes....
In other words, they, the hated other, the enemy, are bad and we are good. Such a novel viewpoint.
What do you think about the real case of Iran? Do you believe that US and others governments should interfere in order to prevent the use of nuclear weapons from Iran?
What do you answer to those who support such interventions because they believe that if we let Iran use nuclear weapons, then they may lauch a war on West countries with horrible consequences?
Please, justify your answers....Thank you all!
Please, justify your framing of the questions. Show that Iran is intended to acquire nuclear weapons. Show that if it is allowed to field nuclear weapons it will in fact do so. Show that nuclear armed Iran isn't a giant red herring not worth discussing in the frame you propose.
"In other words, they, the hated other, the enemy, are bad and we are good. Such a novel viewpoint."
In other words you're misrepresenting someone's viewpoint because you have no rebuttal or substantive response. I'm sure you oppose Nazism and communism just because they are the "hated other", you couldn't have a good reason like the fact that those ideologies are inherently warlike and crush economic prosperity.
Bring something intelligent to the table or don't post at all.
@ Kelvin Silva
It's not just in modern times - blaming any religion for violence is the same as blaming guns for violence. For example, Zen Buddhism is quite possibly the most peace-preaching pacifist religion/philosophy around, and yet during Japan's WWII era the Japanese government created a Zen establishment that interweaved Zen with the state by inserting Zen teachers who taught war and "putting down the filthy American animal" so as to prepare Zen students for fighting Americans. But regardless of the fact that the state has been the main corruptor of religion for it's own benefit, religion always gets pinned down as the enemy.
Ironically, this topic can be summed up with a quote from a prominant critic of religion (albeit a libertarian):
"All the state sees in an original idea is potential change." - H. L. Mencken

The use of midia by intelligence agencies for disinformation purposes aside, a nuclear program could theoretically be kept a few months away from developing actual nuclear bombs for many years, specially when there's no point in manufacturing an actual device if there's no imminent intention of deployment, either in a test or in a surprise attack.
A lot of countries are expected to be a "few months away" from developing their own nukes, including non threatening nations like Japan, Germany and Brazil.
That doesn't mean that in the next months they will unveil any warhead. It just means that in a scenario of acute geopolitical instability, where it would make sense for their governments to possess such weapons, they could make it in a short period of time.
To be fully nuclear requires more than the ability to assemble nuclear bombs. You need to develop a reliable delivery system, either through submarines, stealth bombers or ICBMs; and you may also want second strike capabilities and an extensive intelligence and counter-intelligence apparatus, and all of these things are very expensive to acquire and maintain.

Teenage Depression
Teenage is a time of turbulence and strong emotions, slamming doors, weeping. With all this drama it might be thought that all teenage problems were due to stagnation of liver qi or even liver fire. This is certainly true for some aspects of antisocial behaviour such as vandalism and criminal behaviour.
However it has been my experience that depression is nearly
always due to weakness in the wood element rather than excess. It is
this weakness which makes it difficult for children to make the
necessary separation from their parents, and to stand up for their own
opinions. In some children, the weakness originates in the sheen, and
they need to be coaxed out of their depression. For these children
acupuncture is not the therapy of choice.
However, for the majority the weakness is related to an energetic imbalance, and as such it responds well to acupuncture.
We can identify three main patterns:
- Liver and Kidney Weak
- Spleen and kidney qi xu
- Lingering pathogenic factor
The first of these patterns runs through all teenage depression, for teenage is the time when both liver and kidney are under stress. The second and third are additional factors which complicate the issue. Often these factors have their origin much earlier in life.
For example the spleen and kidney qi xu adolescents usually have history of qi xu which goes back to the first years of life. Entering puberty in a state of exhaustion, they are not in a position to take full advantage of the potential for change.
Likewise, lingering pathogenic factors often have their origin in either immunisations or chronic illnesses treated with antibiotics in the first 2 or 3 years of life.
This talk will describe these commonly seen patterns in detail, what can be done, and what problems one is likely to meet on the way.

A rip-roaring start to the new XC season
At the XC "Test event" in the Cascades MTB Park (RSA) a week before the first World Cup race of the year, the BMC MTB Racing Team delivered an outstanding dress rehearsal. Moritz Milatz was the 4th to reach the goal in the race of 6 very technically challenging laps, with Patrick Gallati close on his tail who managed an outstanding 5th place finish
In the Olympic year 2012, all Swiss Olympic candidates are already looking to show their early form at the start of the season: No fewer than 7 Swiss bikes placed in the top 10. Nino Schurter won the race ahead of home riders Burry Stander and Florian Vogel.
The performance by Reto Indergand (17th), Stephen Ettinger (19th) and Julien Taramarcaz (32nd) also have the BMC MTB Team hopeful before the World Cup kicks off in South Africa next weekend.

Put them all together and it adds up to another dominating performance by the Cartersville Purple Hurricanes as they easily defeated the Adairsville Tigers 45-3 Friday night at Weinman Stadium.
Actually it was the purple-and-black Hurricanes who ran their record to 8-0 overall; 5-0 in Region 5-AAA. That's because black was the color of the jersey Cartersville's football team wore when it took the field for its final home game of the season.
"We all went crazy when he (coach Frank Barden) starting handing out those jerseys," said junior quarterback Brooks Barden, who burned Adairsville's secondary for three touchdown passes and ran for another. "It was a great feeling wearing them tonight."
Prior to the kickoff, it was Brooks Barden not coach Barden who anticipated a much different outcome.
"I really thought the score would be much closer than it was," he said. "Here was a team that scored 70 points one game, and here our defense held them to a single field goal. That says a lot about this team. And our defense as well."
Cartersville's defense made sure the Tigers would be limited to a first quarter field goal, when it stopped Adairsville on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line with time winding down in the fourth quarter.
"Our defense made a great play to stop them from scoring," coach Barden said. "It showed that we are a team that plays just as hard in the first quarter as it does in the fourth quarter. No matter what the score is."
The score was 3-3 after the first quarter as Adairsville's Dakota Hines and Cartersville's Preston Slemp took turns kicking 40-yard field goals.
Much to everybody's surprise, including coach Jim Kremer, that would be it as far as scoring was concerned for the Tigers, who entered the highly-anticipated Region 5-AAA clash of county rivals averaging 39 points per game on offense.

While the crimes were less highly publicized than the kidnapping and murder of Juliani Cardenas in 2011 and the high-profile spring gang shootings of that year, 2012 was in many ways a rocky a ride.
Gallardo homicide
Patterson had barely put 2011 to bed when deputies from Patterson Police Services and the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department responded on Jan. 4 to the county's first killing, in Felipe Garza Park on the east side of the city.
Police found the body of 19-year-old Jesus Gallardo, who had been shot to death behind the backstop of the baseball diamond at the park on Hartley Street in east Patterson, shortly after dispatchers received a call at 6:33 p.m. indicating that gunshots were fired in the area.
Stanislaus County Sheriff's Detective Darwin Hatfield convinced a judge to sign an arrest warrant three weeks later for 22-year-old Victor Valdovinos, according to Sgt. Anthony Bejaran of the sheriff's department.
Valdovinos, who remained at large as of press time this week, is described as a 5-foot-11 Latino man weighing about 220 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
Bejaran said investigators believe Valdovinos is hiding in Mexico with family members and has been spotted from time to time in Patterson.
Tips to police have not led to any solid leads, he said.
A friend of Gallardo's family told the Irrigator that Valdovinos picked up the victim from his house the night of the shooting.
It would not be the last shooting death in the area in 2012.
Deaths in Del Puerto Canyon
Seven months later, emergency crews discovered two bodies on Del Puerto Canyon Road near the 10-mile marker.
In the early morning hours of Aug. 4, the two Latino men were found bound and shot.
The county coroner's division later identified the men as San Jose resident Esteban Carlos Martinez, 39, and Redwood City resident Pedro Garcia-Valencia, 53.
Stanislaus Sheriff's Detective Cory Brown said Wednesday, Dec. 19 that the two men were last seen getting into a dark green or black late model BMW X5 sport utility vehicle. Known associates and family members of the two men said they did not recognize the vehicle and have been uncooperative with investigators, Brown said.
In October, another man was found shot to death less than two miles from where Garcia-Valencia's and Martinez's bodies were found.
According to sheriff's deputies, the body of Javier Alvarez Medina, a 31-year-old from San Jose, was found Oct. 6 in a ravine off the side of Del Puerto Canyon Road at the 12-mile marker.
An autopsy revealed that Medina had been dead about a week when discovered and had died as a result of a gunshot.
Investigators said at the time that they had difficulty interviewing family members, who also refused to cooperate.
Few details have emerged about what Medina was doing before his death. He was last seen in San Jose on Sept. 29, Bejaran stated in early October.
Medina had previously used the name Adan Loya Medina and had been deported for a 2008 felony conviction for drug sales and trafficking, according to sheriff's officials.
Property crimes spike
Violent deaths were not the only crimes to gain attention on the West Side in 2012. Property crimes surged by the middle of the year, according to Patterson Police Chief Tori Hughes.
Burglaries and auto thefts were up from 2011. Hughes blamed the upswing on Assembly Bill 109, a measure approved by the state Legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2011 that transferred responsibility for nonviolent criminals, such as those who committed property crimes, to local jails.
The plan was a response to a Supreme Court ruling that declared the prison system was overcrowded.
Many nonviolent offenders ended up being released because local jails were overwhelmed, Hughes said.
"Property crimes have been hit extensively," Hughes said, while giving a report on local crime to the City Council in July. "We see (burglars) out not long after they're in jail."
Hughes told the council that the number of burglaries reported in Patterson had increased by more than 20 percent from the first six months of 2011 to the first six months of 2012, and auto thefts increased by more than 40 percent between those same periods.
Still, Hughes said the rates did not exceed those the city experienced in 2010.
Burglary attempt ends in shooting death
At least one alleged attempted burglary appeared to result in the death of a suspected burglar.
Juan Armando Silva, 22, of Patterson, was shot and killed at about 1 a.m. Sept. 3 as he tried to enter through a window of a home on the 1400 block of Shearwater Drive, according to sheriff's investigators.
Sheriff's deputies said that morning that a 19-year-old man was responsible for a fatal shooting, but no arrest was made.
According to sheriff's reports, the 19-year-old had called 911. Emergency responders found Silva lying in the driveway of a neighboring home on the 1400 block of Shearwater Drive.
The 19-year-old was the only person in the house at the time, according to investigators. Other family members were out of town on a camping trip.
Patterson police arrested Patterson resident Luis Ballesteros, 25, on Sept. 4 in connection with the alleged attempted burglary.
Brown, who also investigated this case, alleged Sept. 7 that Ballesteros advised Silva that the home was vacant.
"We believe (Ballesteros) is the one who put the burglary in motion," Brown said.
No one has been arrested for Silva's death.
Rural Patterson Carjacking leads to Patterson suspect in Anderson
An unidentified man was found shot next to a cornfield east of Patterson and his SUV was stolen, Aug. 20. The sheriff's department later identified the victim as 46-year-old John Tenbrink of Patterson.
Deputies responded to a report at 1:05 p.m. of a person with a gunshot wound who was found on the 2600 block of Orange Avenue.
Tenbrink was shot at least once in the chest and was transported by ambulance to the nearby Las Palmas Avenue Fishing Access, where he was airlifted to an area hospital. The victim notified deputies that his 2007 green Toyota SUV had been stolen.
A Patterson man was later arrested in a separate incident in Anderson with a vehicle that met the description of the Toyota from the Patterson shooting two days later.
Anderson Police Department reports indicate that 27 year-old Ignacio Gutierrez-Valle, of Patterson, was driving a stolen blue-green Toyota RAV4 when he was arrested for allegedly robbing a woman of her purse while she was parked with her child inside a Walmart parking lot.
He was booked into the Shasta County Jail and was being held on $1.05 million bond.
Home invasion robbery in rural Patterson leaves deputies without suspects
Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department investigated a home invasion robbery after receiving word that three white males entered a home on the 1800 block of Walnut Avenue at about 2:30 p.m., Aug. 22, and tied up a woman before stealing undisclosed items.
The culprits were last seen running through a cornfield next to the home, according to Deputy Raj Singh of the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department. At least one of the suspects was armed, Singh said, although sheriff's officials further details were not disclosed.
After the robbers left, the woman was eventually able to untie herself and contact 911, Singh said.
Sheriff's deputies, K9 units, a helicopter and Patterson and Newman police searched the area for about three hours but ultimately called off the search at 5:30 p.m. without finding the suspects.
Public Safety Center escapee busted, fires set in Honor Farm escape attempt
A week later, auto-theft task force agents, Patterson police and sheriff's deputies were busy again as they tracked down an escapee from the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center on Sept. 11.
Joshua Best, 24, originally from Keyes, was found hiding in a field off the 1800 block of Orange Avenue near Elm Avenue east of Patterson by dog teams that tracked him there after he refused to surrender, according to Sgt. Buster Crabb of the Stanislaus County Auto Theft Task Force.
Medics treated Best at the scene for severe dog bites before he was taken away in a police car at about 9:30 p.m., Crabb stated.
Best previously escaped through a ceiling vent at the public safety center in August, Crabb said. He apparently climbed out of the jail using a rope made out of bed sheets, according to the sergeant.
In November, inmates at the Stanislaus County Honor Farm set fires in an apparent attempt to be released for the holidays.
Unidentified inmates started small fires Nov. 17 and Nov. 19 at the minimum-security facility east of Grayson, according to Sheriff Adam Christianson, by punching a hole in a barracks bathroom ceiling and stuffing the hole combustible materials, such as paper napkins.
Staff and firefighters quickly extinguished the fires, which forced a temporary evacuation of inmates into the kitchen.
"Both of these are intentional acts," Christianson said Nov. 20. "We've learned from the intelligence information we have gathered that they decided that if they burned down Barracks 3, the Honor Farm would have to release people from facility, and they could go home for holidays."
No suspects were named, and Christianson said he did not expect that inmates would "rat each other out."
Drug busts
Drug agents were busy throughout the second half of the year, busting people for cultivating marijuana around the West Side. Marijuana busts skyrocketed during the late summer harvest season because people in town begin smelling the distinct odor of the plants and called in tips, said Patterson Police Sgt. John Walker, Tuesday, Dec. 18.
Walker said it while all numbers for the year weren't yet available, it seemed like a busier than normal year for marijuana drug busts.
Tips have poured in from residents regarding the houses suspected of growing marijuana leading to 17 search warrants, more than 5,000 plants confiscated and nearly 175 pounds of finished product during the second half of the year.
Officers from the Stanislaus Drug Enforcement Agency removed more than 6,800 pounds of marijuana plants growing just south of Patterson on July 26. Much of the crop was intended for a San Jose-based medical marijuana collective, DEA agents said.
Agents seized about 1,200 plants ranging from 3 to 7 feet tall from the backyard of a home on the 100 block of Holly Avenue and from within a plywood wall surrounded by cornstalks on Highway 33 between Holly and Almond avenues.
Sgt. Bob Hunt of the Stanislaus DEA said the operation was easily identified as commercial because of the number of plants.
Four men — Javier Arias Guzman, 52, of Martinez; Merchor Cardenas, 19, of San Jose; Camilo Lopez Sujuan, 42, a resident of Mexico who was in the United States illegally; and Eric Pinal, 27, of San Jose — were arrested on suspicion of marijuana cultivation and distribution.
Cardenas and Pinal both said they were being paid to grow marijuana for the San Jose-based Yerba Buena Collective, while Guzman and Sujuan said they planned to sell their crop to a collective for profit, according to Hunt.
On Aug. 23, law enforcement agents uncovered pot plants worth an estimated $750,000 as they served five search warrants at houses in western Patterson.
Patterson police, sheriff's deputies and Stanislaus DEA agents participated in the operation, which uncovered 1,800 plants weighing 750 pounds, according to a release from the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department.
In the process, Phu Van Dinh, 40, was booked into Stanislaus County Jail in Modesto on suspicion of cultivating marijuana and of illegally diverting electricity for a house on the 1300 block of Beaver Creek Court.
On Sept. 25, police arrested three Patterson residents on drug-related charges after searching their home on warrants. The searches led them to find one home with dozens of pot plants and another home with 40 pounds of dried marijuana and 7.5 grams of pot-laced brownies.
Chad McGarry, 35, and Kristina McGarry, 33, were both arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sale, and Chad McGarry also was charged with marijuana cultivation, after the dried weed and brownies were found at their home on the 600 block of Westfield Lane, according to a release from the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department.
Ron Hunter Sr., 58, was arrested earlier that day on suspicion of cultivating marijuana after police found 33 pot plants at his home on the 200 block of Paramatta Drive and another 30 harvested plants that had recently been moved to another location, according to the release.
In late October eight West Side residents were arrested on suspicion of illegal drug offenses, while a 21-year-old Patterson woman was cited and released for a suspected probation violation after an early morning police raid at three residences on the corner of West Las Palmas Avenue and Sixth Street.
On Oct. 23 Detectives found and detained more than 20 people who were found inside the homes, according to a Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department press release. One of the houses had no utilities and was previously declared vacant. Some of the people who were detained were questioned and later released. Detectives found evidence inside all three homes relating to the investigation, the release stated.
Police arrested eight people on drug charges and cited and released one woman for violating probation.
Those who were arrested were as follows:
• Babette Spears, 41, of Patterson, on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance and a probation violation
• Frank Minjarez, 46, of Patterson, on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sale, heroin possession, and narcotics sales near a school grounds
• Jose Ramos, 53, of Patterson, on suspicion of possession of heroin and narcotics sales near a school grounds
• Alma Quintero, 20, of Newman, on suspicion of heroin possession
• Gabriel Minjarez, 18, of Patterson, on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sales
• Claralyn Smith, 37, of Patterson, on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of heroin and narcotics sales near a school grounds
• Luis Figueroa, 29, of Patterson, on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance and a probation violation
• Pedro Palafox, 25, of Patterson, on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance and a probation violation
• Marisol Hernandez, 21, of Patterson, who was cited and released for allegedly violating probation.

Restaurant owner opens sports collectibles shop
SALISBURY — Rick Foster has always loved two things — restaurants and racing.
Now, he has a place to share both of those passions with the public.
Foster has opened Rick's Collectibles and Consignment at 1008 S. Main St. in Salisbury, just across the street from his restaurant, Rick's Barbecue & Grill.
"I've always dreamed of doing something like this," he said. "I thought I would give it a try and see how it works out."
The grand opening for the new store will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday with 50-cent hotdogs and drinks.
Foster's shop will specialize in sports collectibles, including NASCAR but also featuring baseball, basketball and other sports. He also will offer collectibles of all kinds and sell items on consignment.
Diecast race cars, authentic NASCAR trophies, autographed posters and more are for sale.
Foster has always collected sports memorabilia and has much of it displayed in his restaurant. He will sell some items from his personal collection, but only those that he has in duplicate.
Store hours are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and Danny Goodman will manage and run the shop.
"I can't be at both places at once," Foster said.

*** Lesson Details ***
Whether you are interested in making music your career or playing for pure enjoyment, all kinds are welcome! It is never too late to share in the excitement of music.
Classical, celtic, and popular: there are many genres of music to enjoy. I believe in teaching the standard classical repertoire as a solid structure from which to build.
I will make arrangements with the student/parent(s) to find the proper instrument and tools needed for the lessons.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Upright Piano
Lyon & Healy harp, style 100
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in Classical and have branched out to Popular, Jazz, Broadway Musicals and Celtic music. I sub in several orchestras around central Florida, play weddings and background gigs. It is important to be versatile, and that is my personal goal as a musician. My goal as a teacher is to impart this love of music to my students, and encourage all learning and playing opportunities.
Accordion, Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Theory, Piano, Trombone, Tuba, Ukulele
I am a music educator. I received my Bachelor's in Music Education from the University of Central Florida in 2011.
My higher education started in the Fall of 2006 when I began attending Daytona Beach Community College. My two years there were spent fully engaged in all activities. I finished my GED requirements while participating in many ensembles like the Ormond Beach Symphony Orchestra, Daytona Beach Community College Concert Band, Brass Ensemble, Falcon Pans (steel drum ensemble), Pit Orchestra for musicals, and Choir. All of these ensembles helped me increase my awareness of many different teaching and directing styles. I enjoyed participating in the college's annual Medieval Yuletide Feast while playing the trombone, tuba, and singing in the choir. These experiences augmented my ability to manage my time while having the opportunity to go to school.
Almost every summer since 2005 my church has help send me to Port-du-paix, Haiti, for two weeks at a time. There we are encouraged to do many things involving teaching children, feeding the elderly and needy, and meeting new people that have made a difference in each of our lives. One of the opportunities I had during the summer of 2006 was helping teach two rehearsals of a small brass ensemble. The teacher who was heading the project had brought many donated instruments with her from Kentucky, and distributed them to the students prior to my arrival. She didn't know much about brass instruments (saxophonist), so I got to step in and take the players aside to teach the basics. Even though there was a language barrier, I was able to communicate using hand gestures, my little knowledge of Creole, and the universal language of music. This was one of the best times I have had in my life.
Another great accomplishment I have had is being a contra player in the Teal Sound Drum and Bugle Corps for the 2008 season. This opportunity ensured my discipline to tough through hard. The sole act of carrying a brass instrument that weighs over 25 lbs around all summer is a difficult task, but I had a lot of fun doing it. I also got to meet many people all over the United States that play the same instrument I do and have a similar life as mine. We had the overall score of fifth place, but our hard work and perseverance is obvious in our finals performance video.
I am a proud sister of Sigma Alpha Iota. I have held important positions including Corresponding Secretary and have headed many chair positions. The sisters of Zeta Tau are a very supportive group full of diversity. Having our weekly meetings and formal business meetings keep me up to date with Robert's Rules of Order. I have transferred the things I have learned from these meetings to other organizations like CMENC. At the time when I was leaving the college level, I receive the Sword of Honor from our province officer. Every Spring I attend FMEA in Tampa. I made many very important connections with other educators and soon to be educators.
I also taught three years at a Title I elementary school in Osceola County, FL. It was a very tough three years, but I am grateful for all of the strategies and steps I've learned to make me a better teacher. In my second year at the school, I received the honor of being voted Teacher of the Year for our school. That was such a humbling time in my career.

I own a few therapeutic instruments ~ a singing bowl, a reverie harp (anyone can play), drums, shakers, and a native american flute.
