No matter the industry, when your home is your office, you're often an IT professional too! Our recent survey shows that, from saving time and money to utilizing new technologies to streamlining operations, employing cloud solutions greatly benefits small businesses.
Almost all small businesses are actually using the cloud in some capacity, but nearly half of our respondents thought they were working without it. So it's no surprise that 8 out of 10 respondents admitted they aren't using the cloud to its full potential.
One of the best ways to employ the cloud at your small business is with automatic online backup.
If you're already using Carbonite, you know the cloud is brings benefits with automatic, offsite backup. But did you know that with our Anytime, Anywhere Access feature, the cloud can do even more? From anytime, anywhere access, to restoring lost or deleted files, the cloud acts as an amazing personal assistant whose got your back(up).

We're excited to offer server backup to our business customers, and we're thrilled that the Tolly results backed up what we already knew – our server solutions protect their valuable data so they can get back up and running as quickly in the event of data loss or disruption!
Lately, we're sharing a lot of news about moving faster! Last week we announced that we've eliminated our throttling policy, increasing bandwidth (allowing for a faster back up experience for our customers) and now we're thrilled to share that we've earned a spot on Deloitte's Fast 500 list for another year!
The Fast 500 ranks North America's fastest growing companies and we're proud to be included on the list, alongside 36 of our Boston-area neighbors!
Want to learn more about the fast-growing, innovative companies that made the cut? Check out the winners' brochure or following the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag #Fast500.
We know that your data is precious, and that you want it backed up to the safety of the cloud as quickly as possible. So now we're making your secure, automatic backup even better!
We're excited to announce that we've eliminated our 200GB throttling cap and expanded our bandwidth capability!
Sure this sounds awesome, but what does this mean for you and your backup?
Well, we could explain how we've responded to our customers' feedback by removing the 200GB throttling cap in a few paragraphs here, but in the spirit of things going faster – check out this video!
By backing up your files, you've already taken an important step in protecting your computer – but there are threats beyond data loss that you can prepare for.
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that is developed to disrupt or damage a computer system. It can appear in a number of ways, and can be used to gather private information, delete data or even lock people out of their own files. According to Kaspersky Labs, there are more than 200,000 new malware threats per day!
One such malware, Cryptolocker, has been making the internet rounds over the past several weeks. The software is called "ransomware," as it encrypts the files on infected computers so users can't access them. When someone tries to open a file on a computer infected with this malware, they are alerted that they must pay $300 for their files to be unencrypted so they can access them. Deleting the malware or refusing to pay the ransom will leave their files encrypted. Spiceworks has a great overview of the issue.
As your trusted partner in data protection, we at Carbonite want to ensure that our customers are aware of these threats and know how to prevent them from infecting their computers and servers. Here are some tips that can help you avoid malware and other types of viruses:
These are just a few tips that can help you avoid the headaches and other negative effects of malware. Safe (internet) surfing!
The end of August sure crept up on us! We can't believe it's already time to head back to school! As you fill the backpacks with new laptops, tablets and smartphones, keep these back-to-school tech tips in mind. They take less than 10 minutes, but can save your family hours and dollars down the road:
Cloud Backup: Backing up to the cloud protects your important files so you can get them back if your computer crashes or is stolen, and with our mobile app files are accessible from the dorm, the campus library and on the go!
Virus Protection: While back-to-school virus protection generally consists of stocking up on tissues and hand sanitizer, the threat of computer viruses shouldn't be ignored. Millions of computer viruses can allow someone to access your data, collect billing information or take control of your computer. These bugs can also slow down your computer and interfere with your programs.
Password Protocol: With many schools relaxing their technology policies, and allowing students to bring devices to school, it's important to make sure your students gadgets are password protected!
Mobile Data Usage: On-the-go internet allows students to remotely access files, quickly look up a fact for a history paper and connect with friends, but checking the data charges on your bill could be enough to send you to the school nurse! Make sure your mobile data plan fits your family's needs, and don't forget that connecting to Wi-Fi can help you avoid overage fees.
How do you prep for #back2school? Tweet us at @Carbonite to share your tips!
We can't believe August is already well underway! As the summer dwindles down and back-to-school preparations commence, take a few minutes before things start getting really crazy to set yourself – or your student – up for success!
With cloud backup, valuable data is protected and accessible from anywhere! That means you can scroll through your backup via your smartphone to access the notes for your big presentation. Or, if your high schooler is begging you to race to their homeroom with the term paper that is sitting on your kitchen table, you can gently remind them that all they have to do is log in to Carbonite from the computer lab and print off another copy.
Sound good? It is! And to make it even better, we have a bunch of great tips to help get you started with Carbonite:
Summer is always a busy time for the Carbonite crew! While our Reseller team is down in Orlando for CompTIA's ChannleCon, the PR team – and Captain Carbonite – just returned from this year's amazing BlogHer conference in Chicago!
From tech writers to crafty couponers to multi-tasking moms, we had the opportunity to chat with some amazing conference attendees at our cloud lounge, where they were able to relax, recharge and regroup.
We loved having the chance to educate an eager audience about backup. And it was so cool for us to hear firsthand how Carbonite had saved people's business documents, family photos and even manuscripts!
No one was more excited to hear about data disasters averted than Captain Carbonite.
But we also heard some sad stories about baby pictures lost in a hard drive crash and power surges that deleted months of edits to files that weren't backed up. To avoid hearing these tragic tales next year, we gave a complimentary year of Carbonite Home backup to each attendee who visited the cloud lounge!
We can't wait to follow-up with everyone who dropped a card, or snagged a backup subscription! We're definitely looking forward to hearing more stories about how the cloud saved the day – and the data.
There were so many awesome keynotes, breakouts, booths and parties! If you didn't have a chance to make it to the cloud lounge we'd still love to hear from you!
At Carbonite, we are always looking to wring out cost and complexity from the backup process. Carbonite pioneered simple-to-use and low cost backups for computers, and today we backup laptops, desktops, NAS devices, external hard drives, servers and mobile devices for our 1.5+ million customers. Now, we are bringing simplicity and low-cost to server and database backups as well. With the release of Carbonite Enhanced Server Backup, we are reducing the cost and complexity of server and database backups by an order of magnitude.
With databases always top of mind for small businesses, let's see what that looks like with our new offering…
A Blurry Image Won't Do: Consistent Backup Matters
Taking a snapshot of things that are moving (like your kids running around) is tricky. Your camera contains a lot of sophisticated technology to focus and take a sharp image and turn it into a single JPG file. So, we can simply pickup that file at the file system level, and move it to our cloud storage. When you recover a JPG file, you get the same sharp picture you snapped.
Like your kids running around, databases are always in motion too. Databases represent active data on your servers. Unlike a photo that is just a single file; databases are represented by multiple files and processes that are working together. Taking a file level backup of this data can easily result in a backed up image that does not represent your database at any one particular point-in-time. You may have some records that are partially written out to disk and partially in memory; so multiple files representing the database may not agree with each other in the backup image. Recovering your database from such a blurry image can result in unacceptable results for your business. You need special software to prepare the database and then take its snapshot at a particular point-in-time, i.e., a consistent backup, from which the database can be accurately restored.
Carbonite Enhanced Server Backup ensures consistent backups of your databases. We take a sharp snapshot of your database at the time a backup run is initiated (either as scheduled or on-demand). And, of course, when you restore from this snapshot the database works as expected.
Database Downtime – Not an Option
Whether your database is serving as the backbone of your ecommerce application or an internal application serving employees, its services are expected to be available 24x7. Typically you don't have the luxury of a downtime window – during which either the database could be stopped entirely or the updates to the database can be paused.
Carbonite Enhanced Server Backup provides hot backup of your databases. In other words, our software does not shut down your database or even stop updates to your database during the backup process.
Complexity: It's Our Problem, Not Yours
Various underlying methods for taking database backup images have lots of nuances and exceptions. For example, different database types and versions deal with their logs differently (dealing with database logs is a crucial part of taking a sharp snapshot I mentioned above). So, if you rely on a home-grown script, you would need to be on a constant treadmill of making changes to your script every time you deploy a new version of your database software, let alone change the database type completely.
Our engineers are on this constant treadmill for you – always looking out for nuances, exceptions, gotchas and optimization opportunities in the newest versions of database software from multiple vendors. Carbonite hides the complexity of backing up databases behind a very simple to use GUI. You simply tell us: what, where, when and how to back up your databases. We figure out the right process and underlying method to execute it for you.
In a next installment, I'll dive into the range of configuration settings available with this new offering from Carbonite for our small business customers. In the meantime, if you questions about Enhanced Server Backup and if it's right for your business, you can contact our Business Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or 855-CARB-BIZ (855-227-2249).
From driving revenue to increasing productivity to analyzing big data, it's clear that the cloud is really changing the ways small businesses operate! But with all this potential, some businesses are still unsure about transitioning to the cloud. That's understandable, because with new technologies emerging every day, it can be hard to identify the useful tools in a sea of fleeting fads.
You've got a lot on your plate, so let us help you cut through the cloud clutter. Here are a few ways the cloud can help you streamline business practices:
Data Recovery: Having a business continuity and disaster recovery plan is essential for every small business, and the cloud makes it easy. After a data disaster, the cloud can help you quickly retrieve and restore any lost information – and getting back up and running as quickly as possible makes all the difference for SMBs.
Cost Savings: Peace of mind is priceless, but we know that business owners have budgets. Fortunately, the cloud is inexpensive to implement, so you can operate efficiently without breaking the bank.
Scalability: As a business grows, so do your data needs. The cloud is versatile enough to scale with your business, allowing you to quickly and easily make changes to you storage capacity.
When you migrate tasks to the cloud, you can rest assured knowing your business can stay on track no matter what's going on in the office!
Small businesses are the backbone of America – and during National Small Business week, we're celebrating these great companies!
Just a few years ago, in 2005, Carbonite was a small start-up founded by Dave Friend after his daughter's term paper was lost in a computer crash. Now, we're a public company with almost 500 employees! But we still have that start-up spirit, and Dave Friend is always looking for ways to reach, empower and advise entrepreneurs − which is why he launched the Friends with Friend series!
Check out what Dave has to say about Carbonite's beginnings and the factors he considers critical to small business growth and success.

Finding a work/life balance is hard. And for small business owners who work from home, there are even more challenges! In fact, a new survey by Wakefield Research for Carbonite found that nearly half of home-based business owners feel it's more stressful working for themselves. And this infographic shows us why…
From hiding in the bathroom to finishing a project to missing happy hour with friends, small business owners working from home often play hooky from life in order to take care of business. It's not ideal, but it is understandable, since these leaders are striving to manage everything from time constraints to data loss.
But business owners aren't the only ones affected by the challenges of home offices. As they turn the kitchen table into a video conference table, tensions can arise at home as their partners start to feel the weight of the stress. The top reasons couples argue include: work cluttering other parts of the house (32%), working late takes away from family time (31%), and the inability to separate personal life from professional life (30%).
Despite the challenges, working from home can reduce overhead costs and encourage productivity, especially for small businesses that employ cloud services in their home office.
The cloud may not be able to quiet your toddler's tantrum while you're on a client call, but backup certainly comes in handy if your kids accidentally delete an important file from your desktop while you're squatting in the basement trying work in peace!
It has been a shocking, sad and incredible week here in Boston, Carbonite's hometown. So many Carbonite employees live in and around downtown and the areas in the news this past week – and we have been so amazed by the outpouring of support we saw from the community – from our customers and industry partners, and from stories we heard on the news and from our own neighbors and loved ones.
The past week was intense and like nothing anyone has really experienced here before. But Boston is a city with a great, vibrant heart and it will recover, and while we are still recovering from a devastating tragedy, we are so overwhelmed by and grateful for the bravery and heroism of the first responders, all of our police and law enforcement agents, and all of our citizens. The spirit and heart of Boston will help us all to heal and bring us through.
In the days that followed the explosions, there were quite a few extra cops in the neighborhood. I talked to one who was just outside the Prudential Mall near our offices, and he said the increased police presence was simply to make people feel more comfortable. We certainly appreciate their work to keep us safe while the investigation progressed. Today, we are back in our offices at work, as are many other businesses, but we continue to contemplate the pain and suffering of those who lost relatives, children, and friends and those who are in the hospital recovering from grievous and traumatic injuries.
As we know so many people are generously giving to charities to support the Boston Marathon bombing victims, we wanted to share this article from Boston.com with info on how to be sure you are choosing your donation sites carefully. At Carbonite, we are proud to be donating to charitable organization One Fund Boston by matching any donations made by our employees.
At 2:50 pm today, Carbonite will join Governor Deval Patrick and Mayor Thomas Menino – along with so many others, for a minute of silence in Boston and across the Commonwealth. We are Boston Strong.

In 1987, Republican Doug Bailey and Democrat Roger Craver set out to create a new kind of news service, mining hundreds of newspapers from across the country to bring together every scrap of political information. The result, The Hotline, went on to become a must-read for party leaders, industry professionals, and anyone who needs the in-depth coverage of the political campaigns that will shape the next governing class.
From the days of 12-hour shifts beginning at 2 a.m., early-morning runs to a distribution site in Southeast Washington, and reams of fax paper, to the digital era's more humane 6 a.m. start time, Hotline has driven the political conversation by offering wisdom before it's conventional. "It is galling to hear someone on Sunday regurgitating Friday's Hotline," the late Tim Russert once told the Los Angeles Times.
Today, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reads The Hotline on his iPad. Rep. Chris Van Hollen says The Hotline helped him get out of bed in 2008, when he led his party to major gains as chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee—and then sent him back under the sheets in 2010, when Democrats lost the majority. When Mary Matalin and Dee Dee Myers hosted CNBC's Equal Time, they held an on-air fundraising drive to collect pennies to afford their subscription. A generation of Capitol Hill staffers have competed to win the daily Swizzle Challenge in Hotline's Last Call. And we've been the launch pad for a host of political journalists, such as CBS's Norah O'Donnell, Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes, NPR's Ken Rudin, and Politico's Jonathan Martin.
To Bailey and Craver, to our past editors Larry Tomayko, William Saletin, Robert Balkin, Craig Crawford, Chuck Todd, and Amy Walter, to the legions of Hotline staffers past and present, and most important, to the readers who make us a part of their daily lives, thank you for helping us mark a milestone at the center of an incredible political scene.
To celebrate our unique position, we've culled the best campaigns, the most important campaign innovations, and the most consequential campaign gaffes in our history. Visit us online for our roundups of the biggest upsets, the best advertisements, the biggest scandals, and more moments that have marked our 25 years in politics.
The Best Campaigns
By Reid Wilson and Chuck Todd
Working at The Hotline is like being a sportscaster for the most important game in town. For a quarter-century, we've had a courtside view of campaigns and elections as they've evolved and improved. Every year, at least one race stands head and shoulders above the rest—because of a brilliant strategy, doggedly effective tactics, or a candidate who by sheer force of will wins a race he or she probably should have lost. Here, in our view, are the 10 greatest campaigns of the past 25 years.
Long before Sarah Palin rose to national prominence as a conservative icon battling liberals, the national media, and her own party, her political career seemed to have hit a brick wall. She lost a 2002 bid for lieutenant governor, quit a state oil and gas commission, and drove an ethics complaint against another commission member—who happened to be the chairman of the state Republican Party. Then, in a state ruled by an old-boys club of Republican stalwarts, she decided to take on the sitting governor of her own party.
"Sarah Barracuda" not only beat Gov. Frank Murkowski in the primary, she destroyed him, taking 51 percent of the vote to his 19 percent. In the general election, she faced former Gov. Tony Knowles, who touted himself as the experienced hand needed to guide the state. Palin, the fresh-faced outsider at age 42, dispatched Knowles, 48 percent to 41 percent. In a year in which Democrats claimed a mandate after taking control of the House and Senate, Palin's outsider-over-insider triumph may have been the real harbinger of the tumult to come in the following two election cycles.
California's Gray Davis was one of the more unpopular governors in America. By February 2002, just 44 percent of Californians approved of the job the Democrat was doing. Worse for Davis, he faced the prospect of running for reelection against Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, a moderate Republican with the money to fund a statewide race and the poll numbers to pose a real threat. (Riordan led Davis by 6 percentage points in that February's Public Policy Institute of California survey, 46 percent to 40 percent.)
Then Davis wrote a playbook that other unpopular incumbents would follow for years afterward: He picked his rival. Davis ran so many ads slamming Riordan during the Republican primary that GOP voters opted for conservative businessman Bill Simon by a huge 18-point margin, 49 percent to 31 percent. Davis ended up facing the far weaker Simon in the general election, and he won in November, 47 percent to 42 percent. Tampering in the other party's primary was Davis's only hope of surviving, and he did it to perfection.

The ring was nice but the diamond was way to small didn't like that about the ring which I pick a better oneRead More
Love it.
My husband got this set for me (I chose for the design) in 2013 and have worn the main band since we got engaged. We just got married 15 months later and they are both amazing. Mind you, I am the type of gal to get my hands dirty and I am able to use it in daily activities. I have banged it many o'times and still no wear. I get compliments all the time on the beauty of it and antique style. It is a beautiful ring and these pictures on here do no justice.Read More

Interpretive Handbook
8364 :
Ceruloplasmin, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Ceruloplasmin is an acute phase protein and a transport protein. This blue-colored glycoprotein belongs to the alpha 2-globulin electrophoretic fraction and contains 8 copper atoms per molecule.
Incorporation of copper into the structure occurs during the synthesis of ceruloplasmin in the hepatocytes. After secretion from the liver, ceruloplasmin migrates to copper-requiring tissue where the copper is liberated during catabolism of the ceruloplasmin molecule. In addition to transporting copper, ceruloplasmin has a catalytic function in the oxidation of iron (Fe[2+] to Fe[3+]), polyamines, catecholamines, and polyphenols.
Decreased concentrations occur during recessive autosomal hepatolenticular degeneration (Wilson disease). On a pathochemical level, the disease, which is accompanied by reduced ceruloplasmin synthesis, occurs as a consequence of missing Cu(2+) incorporation into the molecule due to defective metallothionein. This results in pathological deposits of copper in the liver (with accompanying development of cirrhosis), brain (with neurological symptoms), cornea (Kayser-Fleischer ring), and kidneys (hematuria, proteinuria, aminoaciduria). In homozygous carriers, ceruloplasmin levels are severely depressed. Heterozygous carriers exhibit either no decrease at all or just a mild decrease.
The rare Menkes syndrome is a genetically caused copper absorption disorder with concomitant lowering of the ceruloplasmin level. Protein loss syndromes and liver cell failures are the most important causes of acquired ceruloplasmin depressions.
As ceruloplasmin is a sensitive acute phase reactant, increases occur during acute and chronic inflammatory processes. Great increases can lead to a green-blue coloration of the sera.
See Wilson Disease Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions. Refer to The Diagnosis of Wilson Disease Mayo Medical Laboratories Communique 2005 Feb;30(2) for more information regarding diagnostic strategy.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Investigation of patients with possible Wilson disease
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Values <14 mg/dL are expected in Wilson disease.
Values vary considerably from patient to patient and may be in the normal range in some patients with Wilson disease (indicating a different primary defect).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Ceruloplasmin levels are affected by infections (ceruloplasmin is a late acute phase reactant) and liver function.
Birth control pills and pregnancy increase ceruloplasmin levels.
Ceruloplasmin levels are not always extremely low in patients with Wilson disease.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-17 years: 14.0-41.0 mg/dL
> or =18 years: 15.0-30.0 mg/dL
0-17 years: 14.0-41.0 mg/dL
> or =18 years: 16.0-45.0 mg/dL

Climbing in Hueco
Book a guide
The Hueco Rock Ranch is, hands down, the best place to stay if you're climbing in Hueco. Located just outside El Paso, Texas, and just a 3 miles from Hueco Tanks—the best bouldering on the planet—the Ranch is the perfect spot to set up shop and hang with your fellow climbers.
Since getting access to Hueco can be tricky, we've got all the info you'll need to be climbing in no time. Access to the park varies by location: North Mountain and the Backcountry (East Mountain, West Mountain, and the East Spur). The climbing is awesome in every area, so check out the access details to see which area you'd like to visit.
North Mountain
Park Reservations: (512) 389-8900
North Mountain is open to the public for self-guided climbing. The number of people allowed on North at any given point is 70. The park takes reservations in advance for 60 people and also has 10 "walk-up" spots. Once these are taken, if additional people want to get on North, there is usually a waiting list. At this point the park allows people in on a "one out, one in" basis. People who have made reservations in advance have until 10:00 a.m. to either claim their reservation or notify the park if they will be running late. At 10:00 a.m. the park staff will consider the unclaimed reservations "no-shows" and begin giving them to people who are in line waiting.
Granted, there is no guarantee that there will be any no-shows, and there is also no guarantee that you will be one of the first 10 there to get a walk-up spot. But, someone is always taking a rest day. Bouldering in the Tanks is tough on the body and the skin, so people often take unplanned rest days. Besides, rest days mean just hanging around relaxing. And who doesn't love that? This means there are often extra reservations. Since the climbing community as a whole is friendly and helpful, just wander around the campfire or Barn at the Ranch and it's not difficult to stumble across spare North reservations. Just remember to say things like please and thanks.
Backcountry (West, East, East Spur)
Schedule a Volunteer Tour: (915) 857-1135
Climbing in the West, East, and East Spur requires a guide. Please call the State Park at (915) 857-1135 to schedule a volunteer to guide you on your trip. Availability varies due to volunteer schedules.
Commercial guided trips available through Wagon Wheel Coopt.
Maps/ Directions
The Ranch is located at 17498 Bettina Ave, El Paso, TX 79938 (Map). To get to the Ranch:
- Head east on Montana Avenue (US 180) out of El Paso
- Turn left onto Hueco Tanks Road/Ranch Road 2275/State Park Road
- Turn left onto Hueco Mountain Road (a few hundred yards before the state park gate)
- Make your first right onto Woodrow Drive
- When the road Ts, turn left on Bettina Avenue (PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY, and create no dust)
- The Hueco Rock Ranch is the third house down on your left

What are you baking these days? Part IX [old]
(Note: There's a newer "What are you baking these days?" thread started. If you have a question or comment about something below, please go ahead and post it. But if you want to add a new thing you're baking to the list, please find the newest thread from this list: http://www.chow.com/search?query=&... -- The Chowhound Team )
Hi all bakinig friends, here we are at part nine of this shared enterprise. It's coldish in NJ today - wish I were home, with the oven going.
Wanted to draw your attention to the below thread, if you haven't already seen it - there's a discussion of a baking Cookbook of the Month you may want to weigh in on with possible book ideas or other thoughts: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/735114
Yesterday I made a very good apple cake recipe from Ronald Johnson's great book, "The American Table". It had been recommended by bushwickgirl so I knew it had to be good, and it is.
I used 2 Macs, a Macoun, and an Empire in it - the apples remained largely intact.
Two things: I'm not crazy about cinnamon in quantity - this calls for 2 tsp - so I subbed 1/4 tsp mace, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ginger, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. It heightened the apple flavor and made the batter eminently spatula-lick-offable. (I put the spices into the creaming butter and sugar because my mom taught me that fat carries flavor.
)And the Wilton Cake Release recommended by roxlet really works - the 2 small tube pans I used are fairly intricate but only 1 little cube of apple stuck on the smaller cake. Best ever performance of any greasing method I've tried. (My mom said that it's best to grease a pan with butter because it will make the baked good taste of butter even if you've used shortening or margarine in it. Worked for her!)
re: buttertart
re: roxlet
Thanks! That release stuff is amazing. Can't wait to try it on my 30+ yr old mini Bundt that always freaking sticks.
re: buttertart
Yes, I was really impressed with it when I made my apple cake that always sticks somewhere in my "non-stick" bundt pan. I will never go back to butter and flour, whether or not it adds a little additional flavor to the baked goods...
re: roxlet
Me either. I'll buy this stuff forever. (My mom baked a lot with margarine - we were not rolling in dough, so to speak - and she swore by that trick.)
re: buttertart
Do be aware that release spray (PAM and such) used on a nonstick pan or item will release toxicities when heated. I'm not sure about this but the high rating seems like a winner. I may have to get this for Angelfood cakes.
re: burgeoningfoodie
pls explain "toxicities"? From pan? from spray itself? how does something like that get onto the market if that's what happens if you use it??
re: burgeoningfoodie
My understanding is that you need to not grease a pan at all for an angel food cake, so the batter can grip and "climb" the sides of the pan, for maximum rise.
Aerosol oil sprays can cause an unpleasant buildup on some nonstick finishes because of the propellants in them, but there's nothing toxic about them. They're intended for use in cooking, ergo with heat.
re: Caitlin McGrath
You're right about the angel food cake. I've made it before comes out fine just was trying to reduce a bit more where it lleaves residue.. which is more a problem on Monkey Bread..
As far as the nonstick spray comment, I'll have to double check though I was pretty sure I read about it somewhere.. maybe it was about it possibly damaging coating.. I don't know but I'll find out.
re: buttertart
That's beautiful!
re: Chocolatechipkt
Thanks! try the cake, it's excellent. Perfect for this time of year.
re: buttertart
I made it today! I made two small bundts and one six-inch heart shape cake (first thing I picked up for the extra, lol.) It smells fabulous ... but I'm saving it for guests tomorrow. For spices I used 1 tsp cinn., 1/2 heaping tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp allspice, and a dash of ground cloves, plus 1-2 tsp chopped crystallized ginger.
And I have to say, generally I'm not a fan of release-type products, but I'd forgotten how useful they are with bundts. I buttered and floured these pans ... and now have some floury residue on top--which will be easily covered up with a shower of conf. sugar, but still.
re: Chocolatechipkt
I love heart-shaped cakes, I have my mom's pans and use them for special things.
re: buttertart
This cake makes a great breakfast btw ... ahem. :b
re: Chocolatechipkt
Oh really? I didn't know... ;-)
re: buttertart
Hi I made this cake yesterday and served it with toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream. But I didn't like it! My oven is quite hot/fast so maybe I shd have pulled it earlier, but whatever, it was a little dry despite all that apple, and the apple wasn't tart enough for me (I used granny smiths). the flavour was nice (i did cinnamon, ginger and a little mixed spice) but the texture was all wrong for me. I like my cakes to be tender crumbed and moist and light and fluffy. This was just a bit too dense for me. Not sure if I will try to make it again as I have a few other recipes I like.
Yesterday my son announced that he was required to bring a snack to his advisory period tomorrow, so I am taking this opportunity to bake 'Nick's Supernatural Brownies' as recommended by buttertart, who is, as we know, a huge Nick Malgieri fan. It's my experience that kids will inhale anything that looks like a brownie, so, while this may be a case of casting pearls before swine (sorry kids), it still gives me a chance to try the recipe without having large amounts of those delicious-looking brownies hanging around my house (and my hips). My husband was appalled that my son had to bring a snack to his HS advisory period. He wanted to know if he had to bring juice boxes too. lol!
re: roxlet
Great! Don't cut them until they've rested per the recipe, they are nowhere near as good w/o.
(Maybe next they'll ask for something for show and tell.)
re: buttertart
yes, and in addition to this tip, best to put them in the fridge and then cut them. Gives nice clean edges. They will taste fine when they come to room temp. Enjoy.
re: roxlet
Why not have your son actually make them? or help.. great way to get them (him) in the kitchen.
Here's another thread with big appeal for bakers, on 50 essential desserts:
re: Cynsa
just found it ... :^)
re: Cynsa
here's a direct link to the apple cake recipe within that thread so you don't have to expand all the replies:
re: goodhealthgourmet
I made this last week, and though it was good, it didn't knock anyone's socks off, sad to say. I even let it sit in the fridge for a few days as suggested in the recipe. Maybe it's that everyone is so used to the apple cake I've been making for the last 10 years, but I did like the addition of the pecans, and I might strew some over the apples next time I bake my apple cake.
re: roxlet
I remember posting an apple cake we really like ("Apple Dapple Cake", dumb name, from Sylvia Carter / Newsday) and being roundly trashed for it. Seems different cakes for different folks, I guess.
Mom never used a recipe for the sugar cookie type dough she pressed into a pie pan for her ubiquitous Apfelkuchen. Sometimes it was blueberries or prune plums. So I don't use one either. I generally add almond meal and both almond and vanilla extracts. Today I threw in some steel-cut oats too. My guess is 2 parts white whole wheat flour to 1 part each almond meal and oats. Probably any form of uncooked oatmeal would work but I like the crunch of the steel-cut. The almonds are too finely ground to contribute nutty texture. I am a champion of the idea of using favorite cookie doughs as tart shells. Any crisp cookie with fairly uniform texture should work.
I used brown sugar and Splenda for the crust, white sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on the fruit, which was a layer of pounded dried apricots beneath quartered prune plums. Instead of one large tart, I pressed the dough into a gray nonstick "muffin top" pan and a silicone muffin pan, so I have 12 pieces. I need to get a second muffin top pan so I can do a whole batch at one time. These look nice because I laid the quartered plums on their sides in pinwheel fashion, each tartlet using two plums. I stack these in a Rubbermaid container with parchment rounds between them, making for easier refrigeration than one large round pan.

Never has "swoon" been a more appropriate word than in the context of Suno (and the alliteration helps too), the two-year-old label from designers Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty. Off-the-wall color, mind-tripping prints, and ecclectic Indian textiles make Suno's pieces one signature that always stands out from the pack. Plus, you can feel damn good about looking good; the brand's all about fostering sustainable development in Kenya, 70% of production takes place in the country and helps to nurture local artisans. So, you can imagine their Garment District studio has to be a space where even Peter Beard would take a moment of silence. And that it is—Max and Erin (who also happen to be pretty stunning themselves) opened up their office doors to take us on a private tour of their design digs, and our retinas are still reeling. From a first look at resort '12 (oh those patterns!) to their inspiration boards, not to mention four aww-worthy dogs, get ready to—pardon the cheese—swoon-o.

Wasteful spending
I would like to respond to the letter written by the Rosses who say they are voting for President Obama because they believe he will ensure their son will get cheaper, better Medicare/Medicaid benefits. I wonder if they've seen how Obama has already cut $716 billion from Medicare. I wonder if they listened when both Romney and Ryan talked about Medicare and how they want to preserve it.
I've worked in health care for over 30 years and … over and over I would see wasteful spending because of Medicaid rules and also people abusing the program.
The government programs have needed an overhaul for years, and that is what Romney and Ryan are saying. This funding should be there to take care of the elderly and the disabled. The wasteful spending needs to stop. President Obama has done little but criticize the "rich."

A bevy of Grammy-nominated, Nashville-affiliated artists -- including Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Hayley Williams of Paramore, Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Zac Brown, Sam Bush, Del McCoury and Blake Shelton -- joined Dierks Bentley at West Hollywood's famed Troubadour club Saturday night for a "Dierks Bentley & Friends" show that doubled as a Music City reunion.
"It's 'The Grand Ole Bentley' up there,'" said Nashville Outlaws baseball club partner Jason Bennett, in town to serve as a seat-filler at Sunday night's 53rd annual Grammy Awards.
"The theme tonight is 'One for the fans, one for our heroes,'" Bentley said, setting up an evening that included Auerbach singing songs made famous by The Carter Family and Bill Monroe, Brown singing Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart" and Lambert duetting with Bentley on Merle Haggard's "Silver Wings." But not everyone focused on older material: Bentley's band backed Williams on Paramore's "The Only Exception" and also joined Lady Antebellum for "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" and a shriek-inducing (the good kind of shrieking: pleased, not frightened) take on record and song of the year nominee "Need You Now."
Even the folks who didn't sing were impressive: Elvis Costello, Diana Krall and Chris Stapleton (Grammy-nominated for best bluegrass album and best country duo or group performance with his former band, The SteelDrivers) were all in the house.

Surfs Up The Splendid Suluban's Waves in Bali's South Coast
World-class thrilling waves meet jaw-dropping scenery at the secluded surfers' paradise of Suluban Beach. Located not too far from the picturesque Uluwatu Temple, this beach is the actual site of the famous Uluwatu surf break. This beach extends right up and joins the Uluwatu Beach. Together they are the Mecca for wave chasing junkees who come to Bali.
The beach is blessed with a breathtaking view on the Indian Ocean which offers a serene atmosphere and spectacular sunsets in the late afternoons, creating that most romantic aura. Approaching the area, visitors will be greeted by fascinating scenery of white rock cliffs that stretch as far as the eyes can see. Descending some 50 meters down to the shore, a vast white sandy beach kissed by turquoise blue waters await, while the pounding waves play the true resounding sounds of nature: the perfect setting for a thrilling surfing adventure.

Best Clubs For Moombahton In LA
When electronic dance music guru Dave Nada fathered moombahton in 2009, the Los Angeles resident gave rise to an explosive music sub-genre that has swept the world's dance clubs like a monstrous firestorm. Nada's original style, which marries melodramatic Dutch house to laid-back raggaeton, has since spawned generational offshoots of cultural significance now spiced with elements of Latin, classical, blues, jazz, rock, funk, rap and other secular and cosmopolitan tunes. "There are lots of cumbia and hip-hop mixes these days," said west coast turntablist DJ Shapeshifter. "That's what I play." While the sexy sounds of this nouveau trend continue to transmogrify into what has become a colorful coat of many arms, here is a select list of where to hear this music as it develops.

So the saying 'be careful what you wish for' has to come to pass in my life. Before I started this blog I didn't know what I was going to write about. I mean I did stuff, but I didn't feel like I had enough things to talk about to keep anyone interested in the 'Vegas Soulcialite'. I'm a long haul type of girl.
Well looky here, I have been so busy doing stuff I haven' had time to tell you about all the nonsense I've encountered. I can't believe I have almost two weeks worth fun to gab with you about… So, I apologize and will try to do a better job of keeping up.
Most of the stuff I did/saw/experienced was at the tail end; so it wasn't anything I could encourage you to do, at least not until it comes around again anyway.
So first we are going to do a weekend wrap up of last week and then, fingers crossed, I will have another one for you tomorrow.
Okay, enough lollygagging, let's get on with it!
My friend Downtown Steve is a real mover and shaker–and a great real estate agent. You will probably see his name many times on this blog because he is one of my favorite people to hang out with, plus he is a fellow downtowner (obviously). Over the weekend Steve and I were pretty much joined at the hip.
I may be just a bit biased but I feel like I live in one of the best neighborhoods in all of Vegas. We look out for each other in our 'hood, support neighborhood business ventures, we keep up with everyone's accomplishments, gather and celebrate as often as we can and best of all No HOA's!
One such shin-dig is our monthly movie in park series. We kicked it off this year with the family friendly "Pew-Wee's Big Adventure". We even had the local impersonator drop by to get us in the 80's mood.
This month's selection was "The Great Gatsby"<–not this one, but the 1970's version. To my chagrin, there wasn't a Robert Redford impersonator there to get us in the mood (insert sad face). Nonetheless, it was a blast. Everyone dressed in prohibition era garb and played bocce ball and croquet on the lawn. I've seen 'Gatsby' a few times but it was Steve's first time…I think he liked it. The acting is over the top but that's kind of how they did stuff back then. What I love about the movie is the lesson on karma and how one person's deception can cause another's demise. It's a good lesson to take to heart.
Next month's selection will be a Clint Eastwood western…should be interesting, especially if I can find a cute cowboy hat and my daisy dukes. These events are open to everyone, so come hang at the Huntridge Circle Park with us.
Surprisingly, Steve hadn't tired of my company from the night before and had room in his little red convertible, so he had the honor of taking me to my very first rodeo. So with the top down, scarf tied around the curls and my Jackie O glasses on, we hit the road.
The Clark County Fair Grounds are pretty much out in the sticks otherwise known as Logandale–about a 50 minute drive from downtown Las Vegas. It was worth it though, the food was great. Better than great, I was in fat girl heaven. I ate roasted corn-on-the-cob covered in butter and spicy Mexican salt, spicy sausage and pepper sandwiches and drank a LOT of beer. Hey, when in Rome…
However, as cool as it sounds to be a cowgirl, baby; I can't say I cared much for the rodeo itself. It seems mean to let little calves loose and then chase them down, grab them by their horns and tie them up. How is that fun, especially for the little cow? Again, it seems like an unfair 'sport'. It's certainly not my native city girl culture, so maybe I just don't get it. Besides, manure just isn't my scent.
Either way, I would go again—if only for the food. Of course there are rides but I didn't get on any because again, I drank a LOT of beer and that just didn't seem like a good idea.
Driving back to civilization Steve got a call to come check out a concert on the Strip. A vintage Pop/Ska/2-tone band from London called "The Selector" was playing at the Hard Rock on the Strip. So once again, off we went to listen to some island sounds.
I wasn't familiar with the band but I really enjoyed their energy. They seemed to love what they were doing and I always love musicians who have so much passion for their craft. I was especially impressed when I found out the lead singer, Pauline Black was 59. I hope I still feel that passion for my craft and can exude that much energy at her age. There seemed to be a special dance for their music, something I was very unfamiliar with but I will try my best to describe it. Imagine a tribal-like Smurf dance with lots of hunched over kicking in a circle around an imaginary fire pit…then throw in some air punching. Did you get all that?
I felt very left out that I didn't know these 'moves' but at the same time relieved my beer buzz had worn off so I didn't get the urge to join in–Thank goodness for small miracles.
My night and very eclectic weekend ended well after 2 am. My feet hurt, and Monday was for sure a *cheeseburger morning– but it was so worth it.
*Cheeseburger=The best hangover cure.
You can find The Vegas Soulcialite on Facebook and Twitter…follow the fun and join the conversation.

Rated 3.3 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by Jake Broken Already? I'm a highschool track and cross country runner, after finding this watch I immediately fell in live with the look and feel of it. When I first recieved it, it worked great, easy to use and minimal issues with setting up. After only one month of use ("use" being used to time my runs very day after school), I noticed somthing odd with my screen, it is almost as if somone had pressed on the screen too hard and you could see other items that we're not supposed to be their, that wasn't a huge issue to me, a little annoying to look at yes, but not huge. A week after that my Start/Lap button had become almost impossible to push in. To my knowledge the only wear and tear this watch went through was being on my sweaty wrist while running. In no way shape or form have I abused it. I won't be able to get a refund either due to Soleus's warranty that states I cannot not get it repaired if it was caused by myself. Which I'm not even sure how I did. Bottom line, this watch is good for looks, but not for running. December 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by teri101 very comfortable on wrist this is a great watch for a beginner runner. Got it for my Freshman, starting cross country/track and he loves it. easy to use, easy to read, and looks great even for daily use. his friends with expensive runner watches comment on how much more comfortable this one feels. worth the price, and will only invest in a pricey one if he really needs it. not sure how it will hold up after months of use, but I am happy for now. April 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Julie37 Excellent Watch I bought this watch for my half marathon training. I loved the colors of this watch and loved the numbers are easy to read while running. I have had this watch for 6 months now and have not had any issues. This watch is great for day to day use. May 4, 2015

ETSU names Luong assistant volleyball coach
Thursday, July 03, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 3, 2003) - East Tennessee State head volleyball coach Lindsey Devine has named Phuong Luong as her new assistant coach. Luong will enter his first season with the Buccaneers after spending two years as the assistant volleyball coach at the University of Wyoming. He brings 11 years of coaching experience to ETSU, ranging from the high school level to NCAA Division I. "Phuong brings a vast knowledge of the sport to the ETSU volleyball program," Devine said. "He has been successful both as an assistant and head coach at the collegiate level. I am happy Phuong is part of our team because he approaches his job with a lot of energy, and he is very passionate about teaching student-athletes." Luong attended Ferris State where he played four years with the school's highly competitive club team, as well as two seasons with the Grand Rapids AAU Junior Olympic 18's Elite Team. From there Luong spent two more years playing in the Midwest Professional Volleyball Association. Luong graduated from Ferris State in May of 1995 with a Bachelor of Science degree in business management with a minor in finance. Luong's first coaching job came as an assistant at East Grand Rapids High School, where the team earned conference and district championships in 1991 and 1992. His first head coaching opportunity came with the Reed City Smash 18's Elite squad, and then as the head coach at Big Rapids High School from 1994-1996. During that time, Luong also served as a graduate/student assistant for the Ferris State women's volleyball program, where he coordinated team offensive play call during matches, and analyzed video for scouting purposes among other duties. From there, Luong's coaching career took off. He became the first assistant of the Univ. of New Hampshire women's team from 1996-1998. Luong helped the Wildcats reach the conference finals in his second year as a coach. He then became the first assistant at Northeastern University, where the team put together back-to-back 20-win seasons, which led to the men's head coaching job at Wentworth Institute of Technology. Luong led Wentworth to conference championships from 1998-2000 and finished 13th in the AVCA Div. III final rankings in 1999. As a coach at New Hampshire, Wentworth, and Northeastern, Luong's teams have produced numerous all-conference performers, including rookie and player of the year award winners. Luong also spent two years as the coordinator with the New Hampshire Seacoast Junior Olympic Volleyball Program. He served on the Board of Director's Committee and coached the 16's and 18's Elite team. The East Coast 18's Elite team captured the silver division team championship at Penn State. In April of 1996, Luong was named the head coach for West Michigan's Jr. 18's AAU volleyball program. In just one season with the team, Luong helped lead his squad to a first place finish at the Michigan State AAU Junior National Championship. All six seniors that Luong coached that season went on to play volleyball at the collegiate level. While at Wyoming, Luong's duties consisted of: practice and game planning, recruiting, scouting, game management responsibilities, compliance, and various administrative duties. He coordinated the summer camps and was responsible for tracking the student-athletes' academic progress. He specialized in the training of setters, outside hitters and defensive specialists. East Tennessee State's first match of the 2003 season will be at the Virginia Tech Hokie Classic, where the Buccaneers will face Campbell on Friday, Aug. 29.
