Blake Shelton is many things. He is the hugely popular coach on the top-rated television music competition show The Voice, where singers he's mentored have won three of six seasons. He is the reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year. He's the charismatic live entertainer performing to packed houses in arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums across the country. He's husband to country superstar Miranda Lambert, together inspiring endless public fascination as country's "Power Couple."
But the one overriding facet of who Blake Shelton is led him down a path that made all these other designations possible. Blake Shelton is a Country. Music. Singer.
Shelton is in a league of his own among contemporary country artists as a top-shelf interpreter of true country music songs, and Shelton's 11th studio album, BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE, marks a return to showcasing that talent with an album that sonically represents the best contemporary country has to offer, yet feels like the classic cuts served up by the heroes that inspired Shelton as young boy in Ada., Oklahoma some 30 years ago. It's a journey that includes a CMA Entertainer of the Year trophy, three RIAA certified Platinum albums, five RIAA certified Gold albums, 17 total No. 1 country singles,7.6 million albums and 22.8 million singles sold, and a four-year run as reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year.
On BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE, producer Scott Hendricks, Shelton's longtime friend and collaborator, created an album that highlights what is arguably the most powerful vocals Blake Shelton has ever recorded. "If there's one thing that is important to me, no matter what, it's singing," says Shelton. "I'm a fan of a lot of artists, but I always gravitate to the singers, and that's why I always looked up to Earl Thomas Conley, Travis Tritt, Ronnie Milsap, Conway Twitty. These guys never went through the motions when it came to laying down a vocal."
"That's my job, to be the best singer I can be when I get in the studio," says Shelton. "I don't ever want someone to hear me on the radio and say 'yeah, he's singing okay, but where's the heart?' I want it all to be in there."
From soaring confessionals and convincing professions of love and loss in cuts like the steel-drenched nostalgia of "Good Country Song," the yearning "Sangria," and the vulnerability of "Anyone Else," to immediately memorable up- and mid-tempos such as the hilarious "Buzzin'," innocent romanticism of "Gonna" and the Southern rock/country blend of the title cut, SUNSHINE is an album of highlights, and the exact tonic country music needs right now.
In short, SUNSHINE is a sterling example of what contemporary country music can be at its best, unfettered by outside influences and trends. "Our goal every time is to make the best record we can possibly make, and not let any politics or anything else get in the way of that," says Shelton. "It's me coming in and trying to be the best singer I can be, and Scott pushing me to do that, along with all the other jobs he has of making a record."
Thirteen years since his first single "Austin" hit the top of the country radio charts, Shelton now holds 17 No. 1 singles to his credit, recently breaking his own record for most consecutive No. 1s at country radio. With 12 singles, including five from his last album alone, Shelton has the most No. 1s in a row on the country radio charts by any artist.
That unprecedented hot streak seems destined to continue on SUNSHINE, a recording process that begins with Shelton's and Hendricks' never-ending search for the perfect songs for Shelton's supple baritone and demanding lyrical standards. "The only thing I really knew I wanted to do for sure—and Scott agreed—was, 'let's make a 'country-er' record than we've made in a while," Shelton says, "and I do think we accomplished that. It definitely has elements of things you hear on the radio now, but I think it's more of a throwback to some of those earlier albums I made with [producer] Bobby Braddock, as far as the lyrical content and even the melodies."
The public's first taste of that focus was 'Neon Light," which Shelton describes as owning a "straight up George Strait, George Jones or Conway Twitty sounding chorus, mixed with the more recent stuff that I have recorded." Thematically, the always-confident Shelton knew what he wanted. "One of the things I felt like I should do as a country singer was record music again that's about breakin' up, and heartache, and going and getting drunk," he says. "The last two albums I made, one was just before I got married and one was just after I got married. I was in a really good place, and still am. But, at some point, I feel a responsibility to get back to, honestly, some of the more stereotypical things about country music. Those were the things that drew me to country music, so I wanted to sing about going to a bar, or somebody breaking your heart, singin' about girls and things. More classic country music topics, you know?"
But even with the familiarity SUNSHINE evokes, the album often surprises, as with the keenly insightful "Anyone Else," a song few artists would have had the courage to cut. Shelton says he "stole" that song from his wife. "She was going to record that for her Platinum album," Shelton reveals with a laugh. "I absolutely fell in love with that song, and I begged her for it. She owed me one anyway from 'House That Built Me,' so I quilted her on that to get the song I wanted."
Indeed, it's hard to imagine anyone else singing "Anyone Else," a song of rare emotional nakedness to which Shelton brings a startling intensity. Shelton says it starts with the song, written by Luke Laird, Barry Dean and Natalie Hemby. With its gentle opening guitar notes, what first appears to be a chiming, easy-rolling ballad reveals itself with striking lyrics like "a jealous sky won't share the sun," resulting in one of the most powerful songs Shelton has ever laid down.
"'Anyone Else' is unlike anything else I've ever heard before," Shelton says. "I can't even tell you how much I love that song, I think it's one of the most important songs I've ever recorded. I've been the guy on both sides of that song. I've been the guy that's been jealous and hard on somebody, and not even know why, and I've also been the victim of that. The song is so relatable, and it's so sad. Every time I sing it, there's a different person that comes to mind that I'm singing it about, but it always includes me. But it hurts when people are hard on you, jealous or insecure, and won't allow you to just be. I've experienced more of that in the last few years of my life than I have the other 38 years all put together. And when I can find a song that I can dump all those thoughts and emotions into, it's a real big deal to me."
More treasures abound on BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE, often filtered through the astute ears of Shelton's in-house sample group, Miranda Lambert. "After I get some things I'm pumped about, I like to get Miranda in the truck and just play her stuff," says Shelton. "When she heard 'South Of Heaven,' she played it again and again, and I called Scott and said, 'man, we're cuttin' 'South Of Heaven.' Once we cut it, it became clear that this was one of my favorite ballads I've ever recorded."
"South Of Heaven" is one of three vastly different tracks on SUNSHINE co-written by Wiseman. "The way Craig Wiseman can write a song blows my mind," Shelton marvels. "He can not only put you in that moment, but in that person's brain and what they're feeling. ['South Of Heaven'] definitely takes me back to high school, or even a little after high school, those moments that just seem magical, whenever you had that girl and you went back-roadin', or whatever your particular version is—we all have a version of it—that song definitely takes me there."
Conversely, another Wiseman gem, "Buzzin'" conjures up a different feeling entirely. "What I love about Craig, and I think 'Buzzin'' is a good representation of this, he's so brilliant, so smart with his songwriting. "These songs are so genius and yet still so goofy at the same damn time. Every time I see his name on a song I can't wait to hear it."
Shifting gears yet again, Shelton believes "Sangria" is "one of the sexiest songs I've ever cut," he says. "It sounds like something that came from a different time, almost like something Chris Isaak would have had on one of his records at some point. It's just about one of those nights where you drink too much and you're gonna end up hookin' up with this person, it's just inevitable. It's not too over the top, but it's pure sex, that's the only way I know to describe that song."
"Lonely Tonight," a stirring duet with Ashley Monroe, was the "toughest vocal on the record for me," Shelton says. "That song is just so range-y and, on top of that, I knew Ashley was going to come in and sing on it, and I knew that people were gonna hear her singing in a way they'd never heard her sing before," he says. "We all know she's a singer/songwriter, and we've all heard that side of her, but I don't think people know the girl can wail like she can. I just wanted to step up to that level, so I was really hard on myself, and tried to make that as best as I could possibly get it."
Others came more easily, like "I Need My Girl." "That's right in my wheelhouse of what I do, along the lines of 'She Wouldn't Be Gone' or 'Over You,' some of those type of records that are kind of a power ballad," Shelton says. "That's my natural go-to, and that was fun for me to sing."
While Shelton is about as stone country as a singer can get, he is deeply immersed in all sorts of music due to his other gig on The Voice (the seventh season began Sept. 22), a dynamic that inevitably infuses those influences into his own work. "Anything that you take in is gonna come back out in some way, and it has been doing that, for sure," he says. Reflecting on that thought, Shelton adds, "I'm a country singer, and there's nothing I'll ever be able to do about that, or want to do about it. When I open my mouth, it's country, and always has been. I just wanted to embrace that, embrace exactly who I am, to make this record. If somebody wants to get the gist of who I am from start to finish, I think this album musically encompasses all the roads I've explored as an artist."
With its spirit of optimism, the song made perfect sense to Shelton as the title for the album. "I love the message of the song. It's about a couple that's gone through something, probably separated, and just decided to get back together, what's most important is their love," Shelton explains. "There's something magical about that title, and given what this album is all about, I thought 'BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE' is like I'm bringing back some country music, some of these sounds we don't hear that much anymore in country, at least in the mainstream," he says. "Country is sunshine to me."
Perhaps the defining track on SUNSHINE is "A Good Country Song," a bittersweet, breathtaking slice of nostalgia written by Tommy Lee James, Matt Jenkins, and Jessi Alexander. "Jessi Alexander is a great friend of mine, and she got in touch with me when she heard we were cutting tracks and said, 'I heard you're recording, can I start writing for your project?'" Shelton says. "I said, 'hell yeah.' She's written some very important songs in my career, like 'Drink On It,' she co-wrote 'Might Only Be You.' When she writes for me, she literally writes for me, and if you ever question that, you only need listen to the lyric of 'A Good Country Song.' When I heard the lyric, it was almost as if she grew up in the same house I grew up in, from shifting the gears in my dad's truck to listening to Earl Thomas Conley on a station out of Tulsa. There has never been a more accurate song about me that I have recorded."
That's it, in a nutshell. BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE showcases the many facets of a complicated person with a simple mission: creating a diverse, powerful country music album.
SUNSHINE taps into Shelton's innate vocal rhythm, resulting in songs that are more pulsing than pounding, tempo notwithstanding. "It's an accident, but it's still by design of trying to keep the pulse up a little bit," Shelton says, "while not getting too boring, because I do tend to be a ballad singer."
So even if SUNSHINE finds Shelton entering a new phase of his career, the record still finds simultaneously him looking back and forward, in tone if not overall musicality. He's still that guy who forfeited high school athletics to play gigs, who obsessed over the liners of each new country album he bought, who took off for Nashville at 17 armed with nothing but a dream and a country voice for the ages.
"It's very important to me to push myself and push boundaries, musically and artistically, and always be looking for what's next," he says. "But it's also important for me to come back and touch home base every once in a while, to be sure there's always a firm foot planted in country music. Country's defined a lot of different ways by a lot of different people, and I'm sure there are other people out there that will listen to 'A Good Country Song' and say 'aw, that ain't country.' But country's defined by each individual, and this is my definition of stepping back a little bit, let's make a record that represents the beginning of my career, but also blending with where I've ended up. I think there's still a place for that in country radio, and it's important as an industry that we all don't get too far away from home."
This past summer, Shelton has been away from home performing before hordes of fans who have turned out for sold-out shows at iconic venues like New York's Madison Square Garden, LA's Hollywood Bowl and Chicago's Wrigley Field. Shelton is wrapping the biggest tour of his career, but finds getting face-to-face with fans rewarding on multiple levels. "It's so exciting to look down and see a six year old girl singing the words to 'Ol' Red' or 'Austin,' and then look over and see a 60 year-old woman singing 'Boys 'Round Here,' singing 'backwoods legit, don't take no shit.' I always said my ultimate goal is to have a career like George Strait, and although I haven't done that—and nobody probably ever will—that is my goal. And to step out there and see that it's going from one generation to another, that's the most satisfying and exciting thing that any artist can accomplish."
So if the more seasoned and savvy TV era Blake could tell the driven 17 year-old Blake that headed off to Nashville anything, "I'd tell him just to relax and stop worrying so much," he says. "I knew the one thing that I wanted to do with my life was country music, it worried me to death. I was never one of those people who was like, 'I'll give it a shot for a while and then move on.' It never was that for me, it was 'how am I gonna get this done, how am I gonna get my foot in the door?' Even after I had a hit or two, it was worry of 'how can I keep this going?' It wasn't until the last three or four years that I finally started taking a deep breath and going, 'man, I get to be a country singer, and it's OK.' I get to do it now. I don't care at what level, as long as I get to be country singer,' that's all I ever wanted to do."

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Former Brockton Shoe Factory Lands on its Feet
Success in US EPA-lead Targeted Brownfields Assessment Program
Brockton, MA
(May 2004)
Following a July 1994 fire which destroyed the King Size Co. factory on Spark Street in Brockton, Massachusetts, the six-acre site lay idle for 10 years. Today, after $50,000 in Brownfields grant money from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the parcel is home to the corporate headquarters for David Gooding, Inc (DGI) in a new 60,000-square-foot building.
Conscious of possible environmental problems hindering redevelopment of the land, the City of Brockton began the path to reuse in 1997 when it was awarded Phase I Targeted Brownfields Assessment funds from the EPA. The Phase I was completed in February 1997 and a subsequent Phase II investigation was completed in September 1999 defining the nature and extent of hazardous waste contamination found onsite.
Clean up of the site was performed by Fleet Environmental Services, a provider of environmental, abatement and selective demolition services, who had also purchased the property under a tax increment financing (TIF) agreement with the city. Fleet's original plans, to build its headquarters and a training center onsite, were never fulfilled and Fleet sold the property in 2002 to IGD, LLC, the real estate holder for DGI. Fleet's tax agreement was amended and transferred to IGD, LLC. The transferred TIF will give DGI a property tax reduction of $321,422 over 13 years because of the former hazardous waste onsite. In addition, DGI will be able to claim a 5% investment tax credit from the state. City officials have estimated that the company's investment will produce $986,927 in new taxes for the city over 13 years.
The site, located across from the commuter rail station, is in Brockton's "Economic Corridor." Redevelopment of the site means the reclamation of valuable commercial space near other successful town businesses. DGI, originally founded in Warwick, RI, is a "manufacturer's representative" providing commodities to plumbing, heating, and PVF wholesalers. Since its establishment in 1980, DGI has grown to approximately 70 employees (52 in Brockton) and serves a territory from Maine to Virginia with headquarters in Brockton and another office in Bristol, PA. DGI has invested $3.2 million in construction and $500,000 in equipment for its new state-of-the-art headquarters in Brockton.

Idea: Global property tax to support environmental reform
The idea I am kicking around is to establish a global agency, perhaps a party to the world court which would assess a tax on each person globally say one one thousandth of there properties value (local market value) times the estimated shares of mean carbon production they are responsible for, which would i grant you be hard to quantify, maybe it could be based on a per capita national average.
The tax could be levied against nations wishing to or having ever used the world court, and could be once a decade or whatever time interval seems good, the revenues would be available for the world courts foundation managers to disperse to address credit challenged projects that are of great environmental value.
Closing Statement from russell lester
Corperations constrained and taxed more here than anywhere else in the world. Which is why they put manufacturing in China. 25% or more of the pollution over Los Angeles comes from China. Problem is that the China is not under the purview of California law,
I have a rare book, it is called international Anarchy and it was written and published in the interval between the end of the first world war and the failure of the united states to ratify and empower the league of nations. The premise is that conflicts wars and struggles over the sea and air can be avoided if the nations agree to a code of law and mutually enforce it. This does not even require the individual nations to give up sovereignty, just the right to launch wars of aggression, and perhaps its time to include pollution of air water land and bio spheres to the list of mutually outlawed actions. Certainly I can see that you cannot fix problems by simply redistributing wealth, or at least not all problems, but what would the harm be in providing an incentive for developing nations to not pursue programs we know now are destructive to everyone? After all the wealth of the rich nations and the rich in those nations was made on the resources of other nations from time to time, plus it was the process of amassing that wealth or more accurately the process' which were used to do so which have caused such wide spread damage.
Nov 8 2012: This is why we might conclude that economics ceased to be a science or an investigation once it presupposed an engineering physics model as its methodological given. It became instead the defining software of a machinal system with no place for life in its money-sequence operations. Like the received dogma of another epoch, its formulations decoupled from reality in a scholastic formalism, its priesthood would not acknowledge the right of any but trained believers to speak on issues designated by the subject, and its iron laws subsumed all that lived as material ready to be made productive by transformation into the system's service. ... Yet it would be a very great mistake to simply reject economics as a resource of analysis. It provides an articulated lexicon of exact referents, operations and principles of the global market mechanism which it presupposes as the natural order. And its resources are invaluable in coming to understand the system of rule which the global market now implements across the world in its restructuring operations. One has to expose and understand the principles the doctrine assumes in order to examine and unmask their implications for life-organization. One has to follow the assumptions its theoreticians take as given to see the trail of consequences for reality which obedience to this unseen metaphysic unleashes on the world. One has to connect across the logical lattice of the covert value system the defining axioms and co-ordinates it bears to see what it means for the planetary life-web as an integrated whole. One has, in short, to do what the economist avoids as the explosion of his own identity – open up its value structure to examination.- John McMurtyNov 6 2012: I am open to hearing more. Like I said I think its a good idea to use this site as a place to spread ideas and that obviously includes education., There are ways to begin doing things to protect what we have left of our bioshere. It can be as simple as the tax break that is currently available in the us to people who use their property to grow Christmas trees, or as complex as requiring an end destructive mining in the Appalachians. Wealth is as I understand it generated by work and by the investment of capitol into enterprises by capitalists, I love the idea of capitalism and of democracy and I don't see the problem with advocating a global state to replace competing nations. I do not think its wise to trust private companies with the power to regulate themselves, We live in an age where just as we the people are being compelled to surrender rights the we hold dear, privacy and possession of weapons and precursor chemicals to dozens of proscribed things, corporations must also yield to being constrained. When it comes to Economics I have to say I know enough to know that even people who are "experts" have conflicting theories and ideas and plans. The sort of math that really describes the way things like markets work is the stuff that mathematicians explore , note that theories and explore axiomatically mean that no one totally understands the subject.
Nov 6 2012: "I don't see the problem with advocating a global state to replace competing nations. "
"corporations must also yield to being constrained. "
They are already constrained and taxed more than anywhere else in the world. Which is a huge reason why they simply put the manufacturing in China. They estimate that 25% or more of the pollution over Los Angeles comes from China. Problem is that the China is not under the purview of California law.
Regarding the last couple of sentences, is that excuse not to study the subject? There is a lot of propaganda on the subject of economics which imo is designed to obscure political intentions E.G. calling the FED printing of money QE is designed to obscure the huge inflationary effects of this practice as well as the fact that it is hugely crony capitalism and is in effect stealing and could be the downfall of the country.
That does not mean there is no science to the subject. The problem is that Keynesian economics is a tool of the politician who's only purpose is to get reelected. Mean while schools of economics like the Chicago School of Economics or the Austrian School of Economics don't get noticed because there is no political capital in them in fact quite the opposite.
Centralized anything is ALWAYS a problem. The way to approach your idea is from the bottom up. The last thing the world needs is another ignorant bureaucracy telling people what they should do and using it as guise to more power.Nov 6 2012: @russell lester: "The sort of math that really describes the way things like markets work is the stuff that mathematicians explore , note that theories and explore axiomatically mean that no one totally understands the subject."
I would agree or disagree based on what you would consider qualifies for "totally understands the subject". But, I must point you to Hayek's Nobel prize acceptance speech: http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economics/laureates/1974/hayek-speech.html
Nov 8 2012: Thank you for the link, but I am confussed doesn't he say that following any economists thoughts exclusivly is bad? That economists who win public regard are danerously prone to making pronouncements on issues that they have not devoted enough study to? What is the basic underlying foundation of economics? Is it not that the exchange of goods and services is good and that a way to make this exchange as easy as possible is the goal?
Nov 8 2012: What Hayek is arguing against is the kind of people like Krugman or Bernake who sit in their comfortable offices and come up with plans on what the rest of us should and should not spend money on. Hayek's fundamentals were solid, but he never went into details of which stocks to buy, which fields to invest in, or whether the government should encourage land-ownership or buying new cars, etc. He advocated leaving those details to those who knew it best.
In case of the environment, it would be rating agencies such as http://www.ul.com/global/eng/pages/offerings/businesses/environment/, rather than governments which sometimes come up with hair-brained schemes like "cash for clunkers".
Basically, it would involve raising awareness on a massive scale. A task that seems impossible to me, unless we were to start educating kids with solid science, and to inculcate a culture where they ask companies for what they want, rather than be passive recipients of products that we seem to have become these days.Nov 5 2012: i appoint the UN to implement it. the world leaders, like G whatever, can come up with the details. in that way, it is guaranteed that nothing will happen within 20 years, and by that time, i hope extreme statism will be a bad memory.Nov 5 2012: Terrific idea! You see, I have this project of great environmental value, and I'm unfortunately a bit credit challenged. Start paying the taxes quickly, so that I can spend it on my project. You won't benefit from it directly, but your grandkids will say my name in awe and reverence.
On a more serious note, if you care about the environment, do something about it, rather than coming up with ways to dispose of other people's money. These idle talks are exactly that -- idle.
Nov 6 2012: I work as an orchardist constantly improving the ways and means of soil and water conservation, exploring new non chemical means of pest control I drive as little as possible i bet I put less miles on my car this past year than you did in a month, besides, i don't think I said I was exempting myself from the idea of taxation, do you think that left to individuals and individual nations and corporations we will see environmental change? Without a central authority that can evaluate the pros and cons of various projects and to prioritize them and assist in funding them we will accomplish very little.
Nov 6 2012: I am happy that you live in a "green" way. I try what I can too. But I work in technology, so no orchards. I wish you hadn't made that bet with me -- I don't have a car. It's Europe, so I use buses and bicycles all the time. I'm mostly vegetarian. Even in this freezing winter, I turn off the heating and wear more clothes, despite the fact that I don't pay extra for heating, and it's part of my rent anyway. I do a few other boring things.
This is the kind of taxation I'm sympathetic towards: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/07/19/157047211/six-policies-economists-love-and-politicians-hate. I like the idea of taxing the hell out of environmentally harmful activities, like the usage of Freons, mercury, lead chemicals, etc. I like the usage of Ecolabels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecolabel). It's too late to do much about most adults, but kids should be taught a lot more about the environment, and they'll grow up to be more sensitive to the environment.
But my previous paragraph was idle talk too. Nothing will come out of it. In the mean time, I do what I can.
Nov 8 2012: I think ou are doing a lot and that you ave underestimated the ability of your opinions and information to affect people I might be an optomist but I think that you are never to old to learn and never to young to teach.Nov 5 2012: Nothing could possibly go wrong with that idea...
Nov 6 2012: Sure it could tons and tons could. But rather than just trashing ideas or benig sarcastic I think it would be better to use this forum to try and improve ideas that are suggested ... but don't mind me.
Nov 6 2012: The state I live in has driven industries and jobs and productive people and wealth out of the state in droves by just the kind of thinking you are espousing. This year the state started cap and trade, a legacy left by Schwarzenegger, that will further drive business out of the state.
This type of thinking stems from socialist equality we know best what to do with other people's money mentality. Which is a delusion.
The first thing that a person who comes up with what we should all do is first find out what he is talking about which you have not. Knowledge on this subject is not acquired by dilettantes it requires hard work and genuine thinking and listening.

The Collaborative Learning Room
The Collaborative Learning Room on the second floor of the Birnbaum Library is an ideal place for groups to meet for study and project preparation. The room provides an exciting space in the library that will foster an engaging learning environment for students in a relaxed atmosphere that is complete with the latest technological opportunities. The space is infused with readily available technology that includes multimedia production workstations, laptops, cameras, voice recorders, and camcorders that are all available for borrowing through the room's Technical Help Desk.
The space contains two meeting rooms, one equipped with Smartboard technology and the other containing videoconference equipment that will allow students in the Birnbaum Library to collaborate with students in the Mortola Library on the Pleasantville campus. The Collaborative Learning Room also has audio visual projection capabilities that will allow groups to work together to prepare and practice their presentations before having to make them in the classroom.
Technical assistants located within the room will support students with their technological projects and needs. All of this takes place in a space created with student friendly and cutting edge interior design work. The Collaborative Learning Room is hoped to serve as an initial phase in the development of a Learning Commons for the Pace Library

all-purpose flour

baking powder
5 teaspoons

5 tablespoons
These are the BEST pancakes I have ever eaten. Usually I like to drown my pancakes in my homemade apple syrup, but these were awesome with a minimal amount of syrup.
I made these last week, substituting milk and lemon juice for the buttermilk. It did not work, not sure if that was because of my error or whatever. In any case, I made it as stated today and they were perfect. I also scaled the recipe down to 9.6 servings to get equal eggs, etc.
I really can't say enough about these, this recipe will be my pancake recipe from now on. You can also scale to 7.2 (3 eggs, 3 flour, 3 buttermilk, etc.); 4.8 (2 eggs, 2 flour, 2 buttermilk); 2.4 (1 egg, 1 flour, 1 buttermilk).
Thank you for contributing! My family and I thank you very much!
I'm sad to say I am not a fan of this recipe! I was so excited to make them based on all the reviews. I halved the recipe for my husband and I and let the batter sit about 25 minutes. The batter was a bit runny and made yummy, flat pancakes. I added flour to make it less runny, as the recipe noted, and they plumped up a bit, but turned completely tasteless. Syrup could not save them. Now I have a dozen tasteless disks in my freezer. Bummer! I was elated to finally find a buttermilk pancake recipe. I will not be making this again.

Okay, so I have never felt compelled to write a recipe review before, but after making and (better yet) tasting these pancakes I just had to write a review! I am a pancake fiend and have tried just about every pancake mix there is, but I was never fully satisfied w/ the results. Well, that's all behind me now because this recipe is a keeper! The pancakes come out so light and fluffy and utterly delicious!!! I've made this 4 times now for friends and family and everyone raves about them and asks for the recipe. Also, the last couple of times I made them I added 2 tbsp each of milled flax seed and wheat germ; it doesn't change the taste at all and it adds a little healthy twist to it!
Now that's a pancake! Light and fluffy...everyone loved them. I scaled recipe back to 4.8 to feed 3 adults and 2 kids. Did not have buttermilk on hand so used 2 tblsp of lemon juice and filled measuring cup to 2cups of Milk...let sit for 5-10 mins to make your buttermilk, then added the required 1/2c regular milk with the rest of the wet ingredients. Will certainly make again!
Holy PHENOMENAL pancakes, Batman! I cannot say enough great things about this recipe. The pancakes come out REALLY light and fluffy... and have a GREAT flavor! The other reviewer who said that they don't need much syrup, it's true! I was eating most from the griddle, plain.
I made the recipe as specified, but added a splash of vanilla. [I also like to try to eat healthy, so I substituted whole wheat flour, which I couldn't even taste because the flavor of this pancake is so awesome, and nonfat plain yogurt for the buttermilk.]
I cannot recommend this recipe enough! They do come out soooooo light and fluffy and taste like they're straight from the griddle of your fave breakfast restaurant.
[Also, note to those who found their pancakes to be tough and chewy: That's usually a sign that the pancake batter was mixed too long or strongly... try gently mixing in the dry ingredients into the wet slowly and gently until moistened, and see if that makes a difference!]
I have to add my two cents. My family has consistently turned their collective noses up at the many pancake recipes I have tried over the years. Finally, I got unanimous cheers from this one. I never eat pancakes, and I love these. They remind me of the ones at IHOP, soft, fluffy, sweet. These are going in my family recipe book. Thanks a bunch.
Yummy! I had to scale this recipe *way* down as there are only two of us at home and was a little nervous when the conversion was kind of funny (1 1/4 eggs?), but I guesstimated as best I could. They were fabulous! My husband's not even a huge pancake fan and he said these were excellent. They weren't hugely thick like some pancakes, but they fluffed nicely and were oh so good with real maple syrup! Thanks for the wonderful recipe - it'll be used often.
These are so good! Scaled these back a bit and still had enough to freeze for another time. There's just something about using real buttermilk that makes things light and fluffy! Be sure to let the butter cool after melting before adding the eggs so you don't "cook" the eggs. Served with scrambled eggs, bacon,toast, juice and coffee - it's like having the diner experience right in your own house!

Which is kind of a shame, because he's not directing it. Despite an erroneous, quickly pulled article on NikkeFinke.com, Landis confirmed on Twitter that there was no truth to the rumors he was in the running to helm the long-in-the-containment-unit movie... and then blew our minds with the best Ghostbusters 3 story we've heard so far.
From Landis' Twitter:
Haha a bunch of people asking what my Ghostbusters 3 pitch would've been. I never had a full one, just a skeleton I've goofed around with.
— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) June 18, 2014
My Ghostbusters 3 began in the 1920s with Ivo Shandor murdering a gluttonous associate to protect his cult after he has a moral objection.
— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) June 18, 2014
Shandor tells the overweight man that nothing can stop the coming of Gozer; first, the gate will open in 1984, then again twenty years later
— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) June 18, 2014
The fat man, who now has all the details of Shandor's plans, threatens to go to the police, and Shandor poisons him.
It's scary, but...
— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) June 18, 2014
As Shandor escapes, we see that we're in the Sedgewick Hotel, and that the guy we just saw die...
...Is Slimer.
Cue theme. Show title.
— Max Landis (@Uptomyknees) June 18, 2014
AAARRRRRGGGHHHH. I know there have been a lot of rumors about Ghostbusters 3 finally getting somewhere on track, but is there any way we can delay it another year or two to let Landis write the script?! We've been waiting 25 years already; I honestly don't think a few more is going to hurt, especially if having a non-shitty sequel is the potential result.

http://todaynews.today.com/_news/201...ghts-back?liteThe National Rifle Association has posted a new video on its website calling President Obama an elitist hypocrite for dismissing the groups suggestion to put armed guards in schools while his own daughters have Secret Service protection.
See Video: http://nrastandandfight.com/
Are the presidents kids more important than yours? the narrator asks. Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?
The video, which also is running on the Sportsman Channel, says the president "demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but hes just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security."
The White House responded Wednesday. "Most Americans agree that a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight," said the president's press secretary Jay Carney. "But to go so far as to make the safety of the president's children the subject of an attack ad is repugnant and cowardly."
Have the NRA gone too far?

All Entries Tagged With: "Part 2: Top 10 Energy Stocks You Should Own"
Part II: Top Ten Energy Stocks You Should Own
We're only half-way through 2013 yet energy stocks have already felt the many great benefits of a bullish market with their soaring stock prices. Many of our favorite oil and natural gas stocks have already made substantial double digit gains and we're not even at the half-way mark of 2013! This surge is one of the main reasons we decided to publish our Two Part Series listing our Top 10 Energy Stocks. It gives us an opportunity to showcase what energy stocks we believe you should be investing in. More importantly, it allows us to tell you why we believe you should invest in these energy stocks. Going forward, we believe American based energy companies are set to produce some of their biggest returns over the next few years as there is a lot of speculation that we are entering an American Energy Boom that will propel these stocks higher.
Last week we released the first Part to our two part article series by showcasing our first Top 5 Energy Stocks. Thanks for waiting everyone and here's the second part to our series! To read our first article, simply follow the link below:
Part I: Top 10 Energy Stocks You Should Own
Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC) +33%
Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC) is a large, United States based, crude oil and natural gas exploration and production company. The firm markets, processes, produces, develops, and explores for crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Most of Anadarko's revenues come from onshore United States as well as deep-water operations in Algeria and the Gulf of Mexico. Other deep-water operations include operations along both coasts of Africa, Brazil, China, Indonesia, and New Zealand. Proved oil and gas reserves were 2,560 million barrels of oil equivalent BOE in 2012 with a reserve mix of 46% liquids and 54% natural gas. Last year total production increased 10% and we expect this number to increase going forward as Anadarko plans to spend about $5.5 billion on onshore capital expenditures in the United States in 2013 alone. Due to current low natural gas prices, Anadarko plans to reduce activities at Marcellus and Pinedale/Jonah to free-up resources for more profitable projects.
Last year international production accounted for 27% of total revenues and we expect this number to increase as APC plans to spend $1 billion in capital expenditures on its international operations. In 2012, APC made some significant discoveries of oil in Ghana and natural gas in Mozambique. The natural gas discovery in Mozambique is very large with a base estimated at 35-65 trillion cubic feet equivalent. We think APC is a great value stock especially at its current price. Anadarko is trading at $86.10 per share with a total market cap of more than $43.1 billion. Anadarko has an inexpensive forward earnings multiple of 16.5 times 2013 earnings as well as a PEG ratio of 1.04. APC has strong analyst coverage as well, 90% of the 30 analysts covering the stock have a BUY rating or higher.
APC has the right mix of onshore U.S. developments and foreign exploration projects to continue to thrive and produce great revenue numbers going forward. New discoveries such as the recent APC findings in the Gulf of Mexico and in Mozambique should be very profitable in the long run. Another strength about APC is despite natural gas prices being really low, they have continued to remain profitable despite the fact they are a major natural gas producer. This is why APC will be such a big winner if natural gas prices increase. APC is a great oil play to own and the added benefit of having exposure to natural gas markets is a huge bonus. We believe natural gas prices have bottomed and will inevitably rise. The consensus on Wall Street among analysts is the same. When that does happen, Natural Gas producers like APC will reap large profits. For all these reasons mentioned above, we believe APC is a great BUY opportunity. The current average 12-month price target for APC is $110, we believe in 12-months APC will be trading at $115, a 33% total yield!
Apache (NYSE: APA) +37%
Apache is an oil & gas company operating in several countries including the U.S., Canada, the U.K North Sea, Argentina, Australia, and Egypt. At the end of 2012, it had around 2.85 billion BOE in proved reserves, concentrated in the U.S. and Canada. The proved reserves and the Permian/Central Resources total around 11.7 billion BOE, four times higher than the current proved reserves. The U.S. Permian Basin accounted for around 28% of the company's total reserves. The company is considered the most active driller in the Permian Basin with around 38 operating rigs.
What makes me interested in Apache is its conservative capital structure. As of March 2013, it had nearly $32 billion in equity, $248 million in cash, and only $11.5 billion in long-term debt. Moreover, Apache is a consistent dividend payer. Its dividend increased from $0.21 per share in 2003 to $0.66 per share in 2012. For the full year 2013, Apache expects to push its costs down, increase its dividend, and restructure its asset portfolio. The company expects to divest $4 billion in assets, and then it would use $2 billion to reduce its debt level and the remaining amount to repurchase 30 million shares. APA currently has a great revenue numbers and management has shown its effectiveness as they have produced great ROE & ROA numbers. Apache is trading at $84.90 per share with a total market of nearly $33.3 billion. The market values Apache at only 9.5 times its forward earnings.
While the markets and competing oil stocks have had a great year so far with S&P up 15%, APA on the other hand has been sluggish appreciating only 8%. Despite this, APA is held by many famous investors, most importantly oil guru, T. Boone Pickens as APA accounts for 9.5% of Pickens portfolio, his second largest position. Compared to peers Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC) and ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), Apache is valued the cheapest. As a result, investors should invest in APA due to its lowest earnings valuation, strong balance sheet, and the potential asset sales. If it could divest $4 billion in assets this year, Apache could drive its EPS higher, thanks to the potential share repurchases and debt reduction. Analysts across Wall Street agree that APA is undervalued with an average 12-month price target of $110. We believe Apache will be trading at $117 in 12-months, a yield of 36%. Add on a 0.90% dividend and you have a total yield of 36.90%!
Eni SpA (NYSE: E) +26%
Eni SpA (NYSE: E), an integrated energy company, engages in the exploration, production, transportation, transformation, and marketing of oil and natural gas. Eni SpA has a market cap of $84.9 billion and is part of the energy industry. Year-to-date E is down 8%, opening up a buy opportunity for many investors. We consider Eni SpA to be a great BUY opportunity. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and attractive valuation levels.
We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow. Revenue growth has been a strength for E as they greatly exceeded the industry average of 6.9%. On top of that, revenues rose by 42.8% over the past year. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share. We expect this kind of earnings growth to continue propelling ENI SPA and sending the stock price higher. The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 65.5% when compared to the same quarter one-year prior, rising from $1,972.25 million to $3,264.41 million.
The company has come along ways in a year. Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. While ENI SPA doesn't receive much analyst coverage with only 3 analysts covering the stock (1 Strong Buy, 1 Buy, 1 Hold) that doesn't mean it's not a great investment opportunity. The fact it is relatively unknown adds to more potential as if they continue to increase earnings year after year they will soon get recognized and soar significantly higher as a result. ENI SPA is also a great dividend play with a dividend yield of 5.20%. Overall, we believe ENI SPA is a great long-term BUY opportunity and have a 12-month price target of $65 per share, a yield of 21%. Add to that a dividend of 5.20% and you have a total yield of 26.20%
Chevron (NYSE: CVX) +23%
Chevron is the second largest U.S. integrated energy company. For investors who like strong growth, dividend stocks then Chevron is the right pick for you. CVX has been an avid dividend grower for decades, with an average annualized dividend growth of 9.1% over the past five years. Its dividend growth rate over that period was lower than its EPS growth rate, which stood at 13.7%, on average. Among its main competitors, CVX has had the highest rate of dividend growth since 2004. Even though the company is expected to post a paltry EPS CAGR of less than 1% for the next five years on average, its solid cash flow generation will likely support continued dividend increases. Chevron explicitly states that one of its consistent financial priorities is to "maintain and grow dividend."
CVX has a strong balance sheet, with $17.3 billion in cash and only $12.1 billion in long-term debt. Its long-term debt is only 8.6% of its stockholders' equity. CVX has the highest profitability per barrel among its peers and the highest cumulative cash flow per share expansion over the past five years. Thus, its case is supported by leading earnings and cash margins, strongest future volume growth among its main peers, and solid shareholder value enhancement potential.
It should be noted that the company is known for its generous share buyback programs – it returned $5 billion in share repurchases last year alone. Chevron is currently covered by 25 analysts, of which 67% hold a BUY rating or higher. We among the group that believes CVX is a great buy opportunity and we hold a 12-month price target of $145, a yield of 20%. Add to that Chevron's 3.20% dividend and CVX is set to return a 23.20% annual return.
Total SA (NASDAQ: TOT) +45%
Total SA is the main French integrated oil company, operating worldwide and employing more than 95,000 people worldwide. The company deals with all aspects of the oil & gas chain, from exploration to production, refining, transportation and marketing. Total keeps announcing new oil discoveries, a growing production and improving results and dividends. Moreover, the French company's strategy is now to focus on exploration and invest in riskier/growing sectors such as shale gas in the U.S. or bituminous sand in Canada. Total has been ramping up its efforts to rejoin the big boys of the oil and gas sector. The company has achieved a strong production base in Africa, and for the next three years, it is striving to capitalize in the Middle East as well by building a $1.5 billion condensate refinery in Qatar.
Total SA is currently undergoing several other projects to position itself as one of the most competitive in the industry along with the goal of increasing its profits and market share. These, in turn, will more likely improve the market share of the company and its stock price. The P/E ratio of the company stands at '10.17', which shows that the stock price is equally valued. On the other hand, P/B indicates that the stock price is discounted relative to the industry average of '2.49', making it attractive to investors. Price to Earnings per Growth indicates the Total is currently trading at a premium as compared to the industry average. However, it is trading at a discount compared to major players in the industry. Other major reasons to buy Total are, for one they are the leaders in the oil & gas sector and invest massively in exploration. The company just got several licenses in the new potential Artic fields. Total is also investing in the solar and biomass energies, which should drive the revenues at long term. Total's objective is to invest $22 Billion annually between 2012 and 2014 while selling off $20 Billion of assets by 2014. TOT also offers a great dividend yield of more than 4.5% right now, which has kept growing over the years. Total developed a good payout ratio of 45% in 2011 as well as a strong link with its investors over the years.
Overall we believe TOTAL SA is a great BUY opportunity based on their attractive valuation level as seen in its P/E which is well discounted in comparison to the industry average. On top of that, the company shows outstanding financial performance as seen in its high earnings yield and high revenue growth. The future outlook of the company looks promising as it continuously embarks on several modernization and innovative projects such as the Antwerp refining and Port Arthur shale gas which can boost its profit and position the company as one of the most competitive company in the industry. Our 12-month price target for TOT is $72 per share, a yield of 40%. Add on a 4.5% dividend and you have a total net yield of 44.5%.

After a recent email we decided to look into the possibility of wireless instruments. There are two readily available solutions, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Bluetooth - The most cost effective solution, offering a short range bridge between PC and instrument. Specifications boast an impressive 100m range, although this is line of sight. We have tried and tested this technology and found no problem walking around with a laptop, even from our cellar to first floor in an old stone building. Ideal if your lab is close to your office.
Wi-Fi - Many companies now already have a Wi-Fi system in place. With the ability to communicate across LAN and Internet as well, this offers huge possibilities in distributed systems. The only disadvantage to Wi-Fi is that you may need to involve your IT department.
Bluetooth has other possibilities too, like collecting data from instruments in the field. The operator can simply stand near the instrument with a Bluetooth enabled PDA (or even smart phone) to collect the data. Java enabled phones can also be used to control our instruments via Bluetooth. A great idea for plant or pipeline monitoring.
If you have a requirement which you feel would benefit from wireless instrumentation, please feel free to phone or drop me an email (see contacts). This technology can be easily added to existing ACM Instruments.

Offering family nature programs on the weekend and nature-based (Michigan flora and fauna) education programs to schools and community groups during the week.
Community Groups and School Groups are encouraged to schedule weekday field trips to the Belle Isle Nature Zoo by contacting our staff at (313) 852-4056, ext. 3023 or [email protected].
Visit the Deer Encounter
Fallow deer that once roamed the island now enjoy a one-acre enclosure and barn at the Belle Isle Nature Zoo. The exhibit is part of a multi-phase project to convert the former nature center on Belle Isle into a Nature Zoo focusing on Michigan wildlife, flora and fauna.
"Bringing the wilds of Michigan to the heart of Detroit"
As we reflect on our many experiences since the BINZ opened, we are very appreciative to the many guests who have visited and the many partners who assisted us in developing this new facility.
The Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan provided funding through its Great Outdoors program to launch initiatives aimed at connecting families to their natural environment while enjoying other benefits including exercise and healthier lifestyles. The Junior League of Detroit has been providing wonderful family programming with a variety of activities including special guest speakers and creative craft activities.
A variety of programs are offered to the general public during our regular hours and on weekends. We invite school and community groups to contact our staff to discover special programs available by reservation.
Thanks to The Junior League of Detroit, BINZ visitors are able to get an insider's view of an actual beehive and nose-to-nose with Michigan's favorite reptile—the turtle—at two of our newest exhibits.
Admission to the Nature Zoo is free; however, a State of Michigan Recreation Passport is required for all vehicles to enter Belle Isle.
For more information contact BINZ staff by calling (313) 852-4056 ext. 3023 or by email: [email protected].

Lewis Hamilton has no complaints about second row start position despite admitting he wanted "pole" position...
Lewis Hamilton has no complaints about second row start position despite admitting he wanted "pole" position.
The Mercedes driver has had a solid start to his career with his new team in Australia and it was more of the same in Malaysia where Hamilton was running near the front throughout qualifying.
However, a late charge from Sebastian Vettel and the two Ferraris, dropped him to fourth place by the end of a wet final qualifying segment.
In the immediate aftermath the Brit said: "I want to be on pole so initially when you get out of the car you don't think you're happy."
However, later upon reflection he revealed that he was "pretty happy with fourth place considering the conditions today."
The 28-year-old added: "The car was not too bad in the dry but the balance could have been a lot better, then it was pretty tricky conditions in the wet during Q3.
"We did our lap with older tyres than the guys in front, which was a bit unfortunate, but our pace was good overall so I can't complain.
"It's the second race on the second row for me and there are lots of positives to take out of the weekend so far."
Looking ahead to Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix, the Mercedes driver is cautiously optimistic.
"Our long run pace looked pretty good compared to the other teams so I'm hoping for dry conditions tomorrow."

The 350p is the easiest machine to work with, IMO. Flip the flap on the front and read. Set all the settings and you can pull up a chair and kick back.

I had the same issues with mine. Try doing a factory reset.
Make sure your drive rolls are tensioned properly and are not slipping. Make sure the tension on the wire spool is free and not binding. Contact tip clean and free too. If all of that is fine, turn up your wire speed.

material is clean but not ground off, tips are good, and rolls not slipping. How do you do a factory reset? When I turn up the wire speed, I get lots of spatter. I am using .035 wire 75/25. Will the inductance setting matter much??

A system reset function is available that
completely resets unit back to all the
original factory settings.
To access this menu, turn on welding power
source, then press the SETUP (1) button
when the SETUP light illuminates under the
Left display.
SRST will appear on the left display and OFF
will appear on the right display.
To prepare the unit for system reset, rotate
right knob until ON appears on the right
To apply the system reset function, press
SETUP (1) button, and wait until unit
completely reboots before performing any
other operations.
With my unit, I had to hold the setup button while turning on the power. Good Luck!

I am contemplating buying a tv in the next day or two. My sony 55" kdf lcd/rear projectionis taking a dump and i'm tired of buying new lamps for it. I've had it for about 8 years and the picture is so dark with thumbprint like spots popping up on the screen. I guess sony had issues with these models.
Im looking for a 50-55" tv, can't see myself getting anything smaller after the 55". I've never owned a plasma or led. There's some good deals going on now but i'm only going to spend about 500-600 range. I can't justify spending another 1400 on a tv. I don't need all the bells and whistles. We watch dvds, digital tv (dumped cable about a year ago) and occasional ps3 game.
After doing some researching, seems they both have their pros and cons. I was looking at 51 samsung plasma and a LG 50 led, both in my price range. Do the plasmas put off that much glare and do they have a darker picture compared to the LED? Are the led's the same as a LCD as far as picture quality. Just looking for some opinions.

Bugs in the packaging should be reported to kubuntu-ppa on Launchpad. Bugs in the software to KDE.
Kubuntu will have a new sponsor in Blue Systems from the 12.10 cycle starting in May. Kubuntu is a community led project to create a KDE flavour as part of Ubuntu. Our sponsor since it started has been Canonical who are now moving to focus on their Unity flavour. We would like to thank Canonical for this kind support and wish the best success for the Unity flavour (also called Ubuntu).
Calligra has been released, KDE's document suite of applications. It has applications for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawing and much more.
Take the tour to discover the many apps of Calligra.
It can be installed from the backport PPA for 11.10 and the main archive for our development release.
The Kubuntu community is proud to announce the release of 12.04 LTS, the Precise Pangolin: the new Long Term Support version of our friendly operating system.
See the Kubuntu 12.04 LTS Release Notes for a technical description including known issues.
