What are you making in honor of Julia Child's 100th birthday?
Julia Child would have been 100 on August 15, 2012. She did so much for American home cooks. Back in the day, in my neighborhood anyway, no one used fresh garlic. I don't even remember a supermarket that sold it. Everything was canned, frozen or processed. Julia encouraged home cooks to use fresh ingredients and brought French cooking techniques into our homes and lives. Thank you! As a kid, I watched Julia on WGBH in Boston - in black and white, happily hacking away at chickens and fish. Julia and I share the same birthday and when I was 10 I was given a copy of The French Chef Cookbook for a present. I treasure it to this day.
In honor of Julia, I created a special cake for her - Almond Lace Cream Cake - Sponge Cake filled with Almond Diplomat Cream and covered with Chocolate Ganache and Almond Lace Cookies. Bon Appetit Julia.
For Julia's birthday dinner, I'm making Steak Diane, Gallettes de Pommes Duchesse, and Haricots Verts a la Maitre d'Hotel, served with a nice red wine.
Anyone else making something special?
Bon Appétit Julia.

You are a very accomplished baker, TrishUntrapped. That cake looks stunning and sounds delicious. Do you do this professionally, or are you a home cook?
I am, actually planning a special dinner to commemorate that wonderful lady who brought so much MORE into our lives. I wouldn't be a quarter of the cook I am today without her. We'll be starting w/ gougeres and champagne, and then moving onto a small plate of lentils au vinaigrette, seasoned with a little thyme. The entree is going to be roasted chicken, stuffed with lemons and herbs and rubbed down with butter, oh so much butter, and then moooooore butttter. Same veg. as you: haricots verts, but w/ browned butter (oh so much butter, and then mooore...) and sliced blanched almonds; and pilaf: rice, cooked down in strong veg. stock with shallots and a little garlic; tiny peas and diced carrots tossed in at the last.
I'm still goggling at your dessert - nothing here will be that fancy. I'm making a good old classic lemon souffle.
Your dinner sounds delicious, ma'am.
re: mamachef
Mamachef, I love your menu! Julia was big proponent of a perfectly roasted chicken, sounds delicious!
Thank you for the compliment. I'm a home cook. When I was little I taught myself how to read from the TV Guide. I saw a show advertised about a fire chief and thought, great I want to see that. But when I tuned in there was Julia waving a cleaver. I misread "Fire Chief" it was of course The French Chef. But I was immediately hooked and she became my icon. The first Julia recipe I made was crepes for my six other brothers and sisters. I'll be making crepes Sunday morning for breakfast.
re: TrishUntrapped
Now THAT is one great story. What's for lunch, then? Sounds like a good time for eggs mayonnaise, crudite, etc.......take it easy, gal!
re: TrishUntrapped
Love your baking and your story, it was meant to be!!!!!!
re: mamachef
Sounds wonderful Mamachef - Julia would be proud!
Julia had great empathy for us non bakers. This is my favorite Julia dessert
1 large scoop best quality store bought vanilla ice cream
1 Tbs (15 ml) dark rum
1/2 tsp (2 ml) instant coffee, (I use Medaglio D'Oro instant espresso)
Place the ice cream in a stemmed glass, pour the rum over it, and sprinkle with the coffee. Serves 1.
re: Berheenia
Berheenia, that sounds terrific. One of the things I love about Julia is how she celebrated all foods be they simple or complicated - taste was the key. Nice tribute on your part!
re: Berheenia
Nom NOM, Beerhenia. There's a pint of Vanilla Bean ice cream in the freezer just begging to be treated like this.
re: nofunlatte
That sounds like so much fun!
re: TrishUntrapped
I made a 6-in peach tart this morning, with enough dough and peaches left for a peach-blueberry tartlet. In the meantime, I've watched several episodes on DVD--French Crepes I (savory), Cheese Souffle, and Roasting a Goose. The latter was hysterical--as she is whacking the goose neck for use in the sauce, there is a bug crawling on it (spider, I think--a fly would have taken off). It is clearly visible and later is seen on the cutting board. There is a moment or two of subtle recognition of the bug by Julia, but she just carries on and throws the now-debugged goose neck into the pot. Gotta love her!
Adding the thread Dave MP started on the same theme.
I finally decided that I'll make Julia's recipe recipe of Salmon en Papilotte with Shallots and Tomato found in the book "Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home". I've had the book since it was published and love the recipes they cooked together. Here's the on-line recipe if anyone is interested...
From the same book I'll make Julia's Buttered Green Beans and a potato dish yet to be decided.
Funny how we're making haricots verts... (I have a ton from my CSA and we pick-up this week's basket tomorrow!)
Bon Appetit Tout Le Monde !
re: Gio
That salmon sounds wonderful - I had to laugh, because it looks like it's actually a Patti Labelle recipe (whose recipes I love, BTW.) Yeah, I was racking my brains on the veg., and thinking of sauteed cucumbers, when what to my won'dring eye should appear but......yep, my CSA box. Solved the problem instanter. :) I'm sitting here with my butt glued to the chair or I'd get up to find the name of the potato dish, but the SUPER thinly-mandolined potatoes, layered evenly and cooked in butter and stock (covered first; uncovered to brown) are amazing.....when people get to them, not another sound is heard unless it's "what's IN these things?" and then if you elect to tell them, they won't believe you anyway and will insist there's something more in there, which there is most certainly NOT. Yep: that's what I love. She took the simplest ingredients and made them absolutely amazing.
re: mamachef
Hah!...Patti LaBelle. Love her. I think I read she had written a cookbook, in fact I think several cookbooks. Yeah, I did choose a potato somethingorother but I can't think what it is right now. There'll be just the two of us for dinner tomorrow so I don't have to get too fancy but I celebrate the Tying of the Shoes so I gotta do this one...
re: mamachef
This sounds like Pommes Anna, except Pommes Anna is just butter, no stock - if you ever do look up the name, will you please post it (and the recipe, if you have time)? They sound DELICIOUS and soft enough for my poor husband, who just had all four wisdom teeth out!
re: biondanonima
I've made Julia's Pommes Anna several times but not in a very long time. It's rich, calorie laden (caloriffic I say), decadent, and every other exuberant adjective one can utter. Looks pretty too. The trick to make the finished cake look perfect is to spend a fair amount of time slicing and shaving the potato slices in all the same size and form, then placing the slices in exact concentric circles in the skillet. The effort is rewarded when the serving platter is brought to the table and everyone swoons, LOL...
Here's the recipe...
The local farm is advertising cukes at 10/$1.00, which screams Julia's Baked Cucumbers but it's too hot for the oven. Hopefully the cukes will still be cheap when the weather cools a bit. This is a recipe to which I'd have turned up my nose if I'd just encountered it while skimming MtAoFC.
I took the plunge because Julie Powell was so effusive about it in the Julie & Julia blog. I was completely won over. It's great for anyone whose garden or CSA is cuke-heavy, because one portion is easily an entire large cucumber, having shed most of its water.
re: greygarious
Oh my! I will be gettng cukes from my CSA tomorrow, so perhaps this will be part of the menu - thanks, greygarious!
re: greygarious
Reading that recipe I immediately thought of Zucchini. Those I have a glut of right now, but not cucumbers.
Surfing the net a few minutes ago I came across a site that has Julia's Poached Salmon with Cucumber Sauce recipe... but more that that there is a list of what various home cooks in the blogosphere are making in her honor... from soup to nuts...
re: greygarious
Well then, in that regard I'm prompted to make it tonight... because I just saw we're getting yet MORE zucchini tomorrow (plus other vegetables) Sheeeeesh.
re: Gio
Cucumbers (Concombres), Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Pgs. 499 - 500
On-Line recipe adaptation...
As discussed above we made this last night but substituted slightly more zucchini for the cucumbers in the recipe. While the flavor of the finished dish was delightful the zucchini didn't really benefit from roasting with the liquid. My husband liked them very much, to me the zucchini were limp but tasted luscious and silky from the combination of melted butter and wine vinegar. I used Carapelli white wine vinegar, Chardonnay I think. The recipe was followed explicitly but I had to adjust amounts of seasonings to compensate for increased vegetables and subbed mild Spanish onion for scallions.
Here's what we did:
Peel and slice lengthwise 6 zucchini that are about 8" long then slice them crosswise. Cut these pieces lengthwise into 2" strips. Combine these strips in a bowl with wine vinegar, salt, & sugar. Let stand for at least 30 minutes then drain and blot. Heat oven to 375F, melt a few Tbsp butter. Put zucchini into a baking dish at least 12" X 1/2" and toss with melted butter, dill or basil (I used basil), minced scallions (Spanish onion), FGBpepper. Place in oven uncovered, bake about 1 hour, tossing a few times during the process.
It's a really simple and easy recipe given Julia's precise instructions. As I typed these notes, though, I realize I may not have allowed the zucchini to rest in the vin/salt/sugar mixture long enough so the inherent moisture was not drawn out sufficiently, therefore leading to the "limp" result. It's a worthy recipe and would probably be much better had I paid better attention. Served with roast chicken and a potato/Romano bean/fresh corn kernel salad with lime & cilantro dressing...

The Johnsonburg Rams spoiled the season opener for the Elk County Catholic Crusader basketball team with a 47-37 victory Tuesday night at the ECCHS gym.
The Rams were able to take advantage of two runs in the first quarter which moved them out to a 14-6 lead after the first eight minutes of play.
After the Crusaders had taken the early 4-0 lead, the Rams came back on a 8-0 run to make the score 8-4. They outscored Elk 6-2 the rest of the quarter making the score 14-6.
"Johnsonburg has a good team and they are well-coached," said ECCHS coach Aaron Straub.
"One of our objectives was not to let them on any runs and we didn't do that well," said Straub.
"I am proud of the way the kids battled. They battled very well. We knew we would give up some perimeter points. I thought our defensive plan was good we just didn't shoot the ball well early," said Straub.

Just wanted to put out some feelers and get some feedback..
Recently i've been thinking about the idea of expanding the Self-teaching Programming School concept, to be a bigger and more useful thing.
Any thoughts?
I was thinking of perhaps putting together some more instructional material to go with the assignments.. For example, right now we have series of assignments. What we could do is kind of put together a syllabus around the assignments, and try to take more seriously the tutoring/feedback aspects.

Franklin resident crowned Miss NH Outstanding Teen
DERRY - Asked what her average weekend is like, Franklin resident Kenya Welch didn't hesitate.
"Well, I dance all day and I dance all night," said Welch, a student at Franklin High School and reigning Miss Lakes Region. "I'm always dancing."
Welch was crowned 2013 Miss New Hampshire Outstanding Teen on Sunday night after wowing the judges with her poise, wit and contemporary dance to "Chasing Cars."
First runner-up was Kennedy Chaney of Northwood, the reigning Miss Hooksett. Second runner-up was Brooke Mills of Concord, the reigning Miss Bedford. Miss Strafford County Caroline Carter of Dover and Miss Capital Area Jaycee Greenberg of Windham were third and fourth runners-up, respectively. Miss Congeniality was Allie Nault of Manchester, the reigning Miss Apple Harvest.
Just over 30 Granite State teens competed in the weekend-long pageant at Derry's Stockbridge Theatre. The pageant for teens between ages 13 and 17 is affiliated with the Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Competition and was hosted by reigning Miss New Hampshire Megan Lyman and actor and entertainer Mark Willis.
The top 10 contestants were revealed at the start of Sunday evening's final competition.
Other finalists were Miss Merrimack Leah April of Auburn, Miss Seacoast Amy Soraghan of East Hampstead, Miss Londonderry Jana El-Sayed of Hudson, Miss Greater Derry Emily Curtis of Merrimack.
During the three-hour final competition, each finalist faced a panel of judges were they were scored on the basis of school transcripts, physical fitness, interviewing skills, talent and evening wear. Over $3,000 in scholarship awards was given Sunday, with prizes given to the overall winner as well as the first, second, third and fourth runner-ups and Miss Congeniality.
In her farewell speech, Miss New Hampshire's Outstanding Teen 2012 Eileen Kelley of Randolph thanked her friends and family for an unforgettable year.
Her advice to Welch?
"Just take a deep breath and jump right in," Kelley said. As the 2013 Miss New Hampshire Outstanding Teen, Welch earned a $2,000 college scholarship and will now represent the Granite State at America's Outstanding Teen competition in Orlando, Fla., in August.

Bill Hazzard and his team have worked the Cooper Engine Project for many years from dismantling it in Ohio, to bringing it back to R & T, pouring concrete and installing the engine. Bill was able to turn over the engine with compressed air in the summer of 2012 to prove the mechanics. The next step was to complete the exhaust, fuel supply lines, and cooling system which is now complete. The engine first ran for 30 minutes on 7/20/13 as shown on the video. Look at the Cooper Engine Project and New Running Videos in our photo section. New Notes and an engine diagram were added to photos pages.

A C9 box is still considered very displayable and may have a kink, ding, minor fray to an edge, etc. The box is still case fresh and unopened with factory sealed tape on both sides.

text: Gender and Women's Studies overview faculty program organizations after graduation Changing Lives Committed to understanding the experiences and perspectives of women and men as gendered beings in a variety of cultures and in different periods of time, the Gender and Women's Studies Program is one that draws on the contributions of research in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, business and management. The central category of analysis is gender, the socially constructed and historically variable understanding of what it means to be a woman or a man. By investigating how gender and biological differences make a difference, the Gender and Women's Studies Program offers students a broad, multi-disciplinary understanding of the way in which gender interacts with race, ethnicity, class and sexuality to condition human consciousness and to shape the social, political and cultural organization of human societies. This minor readily complements majors in the humanities, social sciences and pre-professional programs. It will broaden students' understanding of gender issues and foster a greater awareness of the specific contributions, experiences and perspectives of women in diverse situations. Changing Lives and Opening Minds The Gender and Women Studies program does not shy away from uncomfortable topics, especially when open talk about those subjects has the potential to change lives and open minds. When Rev. Dr. Emilie Townes, Professor of African-American religion and theology at Yale Divinity School, talked on campus about homosexuality in black churches, one male student in the large crowd announced aloud for the first time that he is gay. When Dr. Rebecca Plante, a sociologist and theologian from Ithaca College, visited Le Moyne to talk about the "hooking up" culture and what it means to be a sexual being, over 200 people attended and participated in a lively and honest discussion about the pressures to conform to stereotypical ideas of masculinity and femininity. "That for me is very satisfying," says Dr. Ludger Viefhues-Bailey, the director of Gender and Women Studies. "What our teaching does is help propel our students to grow into the kind of women and men they want to be." Coming soon: A discussion on how white people talk about race.

Twenty-two people were arrested last week and charged with crimes associated with prostitution, according to detectives with the St. Mary's Sheriff's Office.
Vice/narcotics detectives recently conducted "Operation Risky Business" after monitoring activity on the Internet related to prostitution. Suspects arrested were charged with violations related to "sex for money/drugs," according to an Aug. 11 statement from the sheriff's office. The suspects agreed on a location, specific sexual acts and type of payment, according to police.
Capt. Daniel Alioto said police noticed an uptick in activity related to online prostitution and multiple officers posed undercover for the operation. Arrests were made last week over a period of several days, he said.
"There was no way to tell who was going to walk through that door," he said of the suspects' backgrounds or careers. They included a former St. Mary's sheriff's deputy, a college professor, a Charles County school bus driver, a retired Calvert County teacher and people who work at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, the captain said.
Monroe Manley Strawn 3rd, 28, of Fort Washington allegedly transported Lyric Carter, 18, of Washington, D.C., to perform a specific sex act for money. Both suspects were arrested and detectives are continuing to investigate this case with the help of the FBI as a potential human trafficking violation, according to the statement from the sheriff's office.
Roger Dean Stanton, 38, of Leonardtown, who is listed as an associate professor of psychology on St. Mary's College of Maryland's faculty directory, allegedly paid an undercover officer for specific sex acts with 10 oxycodone pills.
The college issued the following statement: "We take this matter very seriously. Effective immediately, [Stanton] has been placed on administrative leave without pay until further notice. During that time, he is banned from campus."
Willard Lee Alban, 41, of Welcome is a former deputy with the St. Mary's sheriff's office, according to Alioto. William Robert Sidnor Chichester, 61, of Aquasco was a special education bus driver in Charles County. Parents were notified of his arrest, according to a Charles County public schools spokesperson, and Chichester will not be driving at least until his case is resolved.
Chester Stanley Jaworski, aka "Chip," 68, of Prince Frederick is a former Calvert County teacher, according to a spokesperson for the Calvert school system.
All three men allegedly paid an undercover officer for specific sex acts, according to Alioto.
The following people also allegedly paid an undercover officer for specific sex acts: Joshua Robert Fisher, 23, of Lusby; Terence Ralph Huffman, 47, of Indian Head; Joseph Kepa Konanui, 35, of Lexington Park; Eric Antonio Hernandez, 37, of California; Paul Mel Corbin, 27 of Waldorf; Adam Kim Hay, 26, of Lexington Park; Todd Brent Summers, 48 of Hampstead; Edward Allen Pritchard 3rd, 20, of Waldorf; Lance Colin Mutch, 37, of California; Matthew Edmond Baker, aka "Rev," 49, of Piney Point; Brandon Renard Bryant, 27, of Clinton; and Michael Lindbergh Mason, 47, of Waldorf.
Arnold Gelfand, 48, of Leonardtown allegedly paid an undercover officer with marijuana for a specific sex act.
Lacey Kim Dawkins-McKinne, 28, of Waldorf and Crystal Faye Kirven, 21, of Lusby allegedly offered to perform sex acts on an undercover officer for money.
Brett Justin Kina, 33, of Charlotte Hall allegedly agreed to sex acts with an undercover officer for a quantity of marijuana.

text: The Notorious B.I.G. of Finnish basketball, Hanno Möttölä's curriculum vitae is by far the most impressive of all Finnish professional basketball players in the history of the sport. At EuroBasket 1995 in Athens, Greece, Möttölä was the sensational 18-year old junior still learning the ropes and 16 years later, he was a vital role player for Finland's surprising run to 9th place in Lithuania. At the age of 38, while Möttölä is no longer required to be the brutal offensive force he had to previously be with the national team, he's an essential father figure to this hard-working, no-nonsense team and every once in a while, he'll gather "ohh's" and "ahh's" from the crowd with his pump fakes, long threes and throwback passes that made him a household name in the NCAA and in Europe.

Phiaton PS 300 Noise-Canceling Headphones
These headphones feature the luxurious look and feel of supple leather and leather-grade trim.
In creating the premium quality "Primal Series" PS 300 Noise-Canceling headphones, Phiaton's engineers and sound designers utilized all their expertise to exceed expectations.
Featuring the luxurious look and feel of supple leather and leather-grade trim, as well as some of the world's most advanced sonic technologies; the Phiaton PS 300 NC noise-canceling headphones offer music lovers a superb listening experience with unprecedented comfort, audio quality, style, and musicality.
The exceptional noise-canceling capabilities of the ultra-lightweight PS 300 NC headphones literally shut out the unwanted noises of the world so you can enjoy your own music in peaceful solitude. Phiaton's powerful noise canceling technology minimizes distortion while allowing the authentic production values to come through. It's the ideal lifestyle solution for hearing all your favorite music, including subtleties and nuances, even while traveling on an airplane or listening in noisy surroundings, like a train or subway car.
Phiaton's patented VHST (Valves of the Heart Sound Technology) for noise canceling was inspired by the valves that enable flow of vital blood supply in and out of the heart. Translated to the audio paradigm, the technology makes use of check valves that expertly control airflow in and out of the headphone speakers. Rear enclosure and closed-ear design combine to create an occlusive effect for better noise reduction.
While the headphones are worn, the ear pads contract, exerting pressure on the front of the speakers. Normally, this would 'rumple' the speaker diaphragm and create a buzzing effect. But VHST Valves of the Heart sound Technology is designed to prevent rumpling of the diaphragm, thereby reducing air pressure and transforming incoming noise into reversed phase signals, or reproduced sound, which interferes with or cancels the unwanted noise. This allows real production values to come through with greater clarity.
The ultra-lightweight (140g) PS 300 NC headphones are available in an elegant Champagne color trim for an exquisite accent. They feature an adjustable headband, genuine leather housing, and a soft ear cushion design that seals in the sound for superior audio quality. Like all Phiaton headphones, the PS 300 NC headphones feature detachable earpads that can be replaced in the event they are lost or damaged.
For total on-the-go convenience and flexibility, the PS 300 NC headphones come with two separate single-sided cables, including one standard cable and another that features a remote microphone function that lets you access phone calls while listening to music.
One battery offers 18 hours of noise canceling function. Unlike most other noise-canceling headphone products on the market today, the unique PS 300 NC headphones still play music even if the noise-canceling battery is out of power. Comes with one internal lithium polymer battery, as well as an extra rechargeable lithium polymer battery, 6.3 mm stereo gold-plated plug adapter, two 5-foot detachable audio cables (one with inline mic), dual-plug adapter for airplane use, international power plug adapters, cradle charger with USB cable, AC/DC adapter, carrying case, Owner's Guide, and product registration card.

Emily Earle recently moved to Nashville to nanny for her famous folk-rocker uncle, Steve Earle, while pursuing her music and songwriting.
But, if all goes well, she may spend the next few months performing on national television as a contestant on NBC's "The Voice."
Earle made it through the first round of blind auditions this week with her rendition of the Johnny Cash classic "Ring of Fire." She now goes on to compete as part of Team Cee Lo Green. She chose him over country judge Blake Shelton, because she thought Cee Lo could help her become a better performer and move her beyond just a "girl behind the guitar."
On a previous episode, Columbia, Tenn.-based act 2Steel Girls — a country singing duo comprised of Allison Steel and daughter Krystal Steel —advanced as part of Team Blake.
Country is a tough genre to bring to a competition show like this, Earle said in a telephone interview on Wednesday, because fans are either "obsessed with it" or they hate it. The key to success, Earle said, is to have diversity and take country across genres.
"Johnny Cash wasn't just a country artist," Earle said. "He broke boundaries, and that's what I would like to bring."
Originally from Colorado Springs, Colo., Earle left home at age 18 to pursue her music. After a few years attending Berklee College in Boston, she moved to New York City where she spent her days playing on the underground train platforms in the subway and her nights performing in bars and clubs.
In March, she came to Nashville to work for her uncle. Earle said she grew up listening to her uncle's music, and now that she lives in the same town as the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, he is "so generous with his advice."
"He's definitely a big influence," she said. "… I would love to be as good as he is in terms of writing some day."
Next up for Earle on "The Voice" is the battle round, where the coaches pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal battle, the coach chooses which of his/her singers will advance to the next round of competition. In a new twist this season, the losing artist is available to be stolen by another coach.
Should the singer advance, they head to the brand-new knockout round and then to the live performance shows.
"The Voice" airs at 7 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC.

Enjoy All the Science Center Has to Offer For Only $5 Thanks to the Walmart Foundation
Sunday, March 2, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 24, 2014) — Orlando Science Center, in partnership with the Walmart Foundation, has announced that the next Walmart $5 Day will be Sunday, March 2, 2014.
On that day, guests can enjoy exhibits, giant-screen and 3D films, and live programs for the significantly discounted price of $5. General admission fees are usually $19 for adults and $13 for youth (ages 3-11). For many, this event presents the opportunity to experience the Science Center for the first time.
Discover the latest traveling exhibit, "Zoom into Nano"; see the newest 3D film "Mysteries of the Unseen World 3D"; catch the giant-screen spectacular "Flight of the Butterflies"; and experience four floors of hands-on exhibits and live activities that will engage your family and inspire their curiosity.
In our newest traveling exhibit, "Zoom into Nano," discover how scientists view and make things that are too small to see. Look inside a butterfly wing, build a carbon nanotube or stretch a molecule. Learn how scientists are using nanotechnology to develop new tools and materials that may affect our lives today and in the future.
Dive deeper into the world of nano by seeing "Mysteries of the Unseen World 3D" in the Digital Adventure Theater: A National Geographic Experience. In stunning 3-D and 4K resolution with 7.1 surround sound, viewers will experience events that unfold too slowly for human perception; enter the microscopic world that was once reserved only for scientists; and begin to understand that what we actually see is only a fraction of what there is to see on this Earth. Through high-speed and time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology, "Mysteries of the Unseen World 3D" will take audiences into earthly worlds secreted away in different dimensions of time and scale.
Catch the premiere of "Flight of the Butterflies" in the spectacularly immersive Dr. Phillips CineDome. The iconic monarch butterfly is a true marvel of nature. Weighing less than a penny, it makes one of the longest migrations on Earth across a continent, with pinpoint navigational accuracy, to a secluded place it has never been. Follow the monarchs' perilous and extraordinary journey in this awe-inspiring film shown on an impressive eight-story domed screen and backed by 28,000 watts of stereo sound.
Of course, the rest of the Science Center is available for exploration that day. Indulge in all four floors of exhibits including "NatureWorks"; "Science Park"; "All Aboard"; "Engineer It!"; "Our Planet, Our Universe"; and "DinoDigs." And don't forget the newest permanent experiences: "Imagination Playground" is an innovative play space where lightweight foam pieces of all shapes and sizes foster creativity and design; and "Jurassic Ridge" encourages hands-on learning through an immense, life-size dig pit.
"Thanks to the Walmart Foundation's generous support, it's easier for families to enjoy a day of discovery and wonder," said JoAnn Newman, President and CEO of the Orlando Science Center. "As it's been known to happen, one day at the Science Center can inspire a person for the rest of their life."
Parking is available in the Orlando Science Center Parking Garage located directly across the street from the Science Center for $5 per vehicle. Overflow parking is available at the following locations: Orlando Cancer Institute, 1812 N. Mills Ave., Orlando, 32803; Magruder Eye Institute, 1911 N. Mills Ave., Orlando, 32803; McCree General Contractors and Architects, 500 E. Princeton St., Orlando, 32803; and McCree General Contractors and Architects, 2100 Alden Rd., Orlando, 32803. Parking is free with a limited number of parking spaces at each of these locations. Also, parking is available on the upper levels at the Florida Hospital Parking Garage on Alden Rd. for a fee.

The following is a transcript of a recent interview Ana gave with Polish media outlet Sportowefakty:
You've got fans all over the world, and also you have a great website where you contact them. Does this situation of lots of support help you during the matches, or rather you think of expectations of you and it's additional stress?
Thanks! Definitely it helps me in my career. It gives me some extra confidence knowing that there are people supporting me. It's also very flattering. But when I am on the court I am not really thinking about this. I am focussing on my game and what I must do to win match.
How would you compare all the Grand Slams? You already have experience in playing in Grand Slam, so tell us which one is the most interesting and entertaining.
I really love the Australian Open. It is my favourite Grand Slam because I love Australia and also I have some family in Melbourne. I also really like Roland Garros too – beating Mauresmo there is one of my best memories.
Did you have any time for holiday in last years? If yes, can you tell us what's your favourite places to spend holiday?
Not so much unfortunately. For me the best holiday is to visit Belgrade and spend time with my family. At the end of last season I had a great week visiting them. I went with my friends to a 50 Cent concert on my birthday. We had a very good time.
You were born and raised in Belgrade. Are there any places in Belgrade you could recommend to visit during holiday?
I can definitely recommend visiting Old City. There are beautiful views of the rivers Sava and Danube. You can also go to a floating restaurant on the river and there is often live music too.
There are also two beautiful mountains about three or four hours by driving from Belgrade. Kopaonik is ski resort and Zlatibor is not so high (1000m) but there you can find beautiful valleys and forests. Definitely I can recommend visiting them.
Is it true you have a great contact with Novak Djoković. Do you get in touch during tournaments, for ex. by phone? Or maybe professional tennis doesn't leave any time for that?
Me and Novak are good friends. We've known each other since we were four or five. It's unbelievable that now we are both competing as professionals when we didn't even play tennis when we first meet! We got on very well and it's been great to have someone to kind of grow up with in tennis. We occasionally practice together in Belgrade but I see him mostly at tournaments. We keep in touch by phone.
How about Jelena Janković. Are you kind of friends, or you're rather big rivals?
I can't say we are friends but we get along. We're not rivals. There are so many girls on the Tour, I don't have any rivals. Instead I am competing against everyone and doing my best to reach the top.
How do you prepare to a match? Do you concentrate in silence, or listen to some loud music? If you listen to the music, what kind of music do you prefer?
I like to be alone for the hour before match. I listen to music and sometimes play Sudoku or backgammon. It helps me relax. Then maybe 15 or 10 minutes before match I really focus on the match thinking about tactics and these things. For music I like all kinds, some R and B and also Serbian.
You are very ambitious and optimistic person. Wins are what we all like, but how do you deal with losses? Do you quickly forget about them, or remember them for a long time?
I think I am quite good at dealing with defeats. I hate to lose but I try to stay positive and learn from every defeat. Of course some losses are more disappointing than others.
I know that you know and admire Roger Federer. Did you get any chance of playing at least a game against him. And if yes; did you win, or lose?
Actually I have never practiced with him, but I have seen him during training period in Switzerland. We talked a little bit. He's a very nice guy, friendly and down to earth.
