Jeff Miller, candidate for the 11th District seat in the U.S. Congress, today gained the endorsement of former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. This endorsement comes on the heels of Miller receiving "Young Gun" status with the National Republican Congressional Committee.
"I am very excited to announce my official endorsement of Jeff Miller for U.S. Congress in North Carolina's 11th District," said Gingrich. "Jeff Miller is a standout conservative leader who will fight for taxpayers in Washington against out of control, big government spending. His accomplishments as a small business owner show he knows what it takes to create jobs in America: lower taxes and less government interference."
"Former Speak of the House Newt Gingrich has taken public service to its highest level," Miller said. "I am very proud to have his endorsement as my campaign gains tremendous support throughout the country.
"Having people like Mr. Gingrich support my endeavor shows that we are building a team that will be successful when it comes to putting America back to work. He understands the difficulties facing the next class in Congress through his decades of leadership in Washington and I am glad he is confident in my ability to work for the American people," Miller added.
"Jeff's extraordinary community service program, HonorAir, shows that he has a deep appreciation for the sacrifices of our military men and women," Gingrich said.

St Anne's Catholic School is a secondary school in Southampton, England, for girls. The school also has a coeducational sixth form. The school is situated close to the city centre, and attracts pupils from all round the city and beyond. The school converted to academy status in August 2012. In January 2011, there were 1113 girls enrolled in the school, and 104 in the Sixth Form.[2] Until 2006, it was known as St Anne's Convent School.[3]
St Anne's Convent School was established in 1904 by the La Sainte Union Sisters and is still under their trusteeship. It was the first direct grant grammar school to convert to a comprehensive intake.[4] After over a century of single-sex education, boys were admitted into the sixth form for the first time beginning in the 2006-07 school year. The "convent" was dropped from the school's official title to reflect this change.[3][5]
The school occupies a site on the corner of Carlton Road and Carlton Crescent back to Rockstone Place. Nos. 11 and 12 Carlton Crescent are Grade II listed buildings. The westwards extension of No. 12 was built in 1961, for which the architects, Richard Sheppard, Robson & Partners received a Civic Trust design award;[6] this was described as "a model of neighbourly treatment in terms of scale character and materials, and an outstanding example of a modern building meeting present-day requirements yet harmonising beautifully with an earlier style".[7]
The school is organised into a house system, with each of the seven houses named after a Saint (Alban, Becket, Bede, Campion, Edmund, Fisher and Gregory). There are two House Captains for each house: students from the Sixth form who apply for the posts. The students have several "House Assemblies" per year, in addition to their weekly "Year Assemblies". Along with Tutor Groups (in houses) there are Teaching Groups. In KS3 these are named after trees and rivers and arranged according to English and maths ability.
The school achieves significantly better than the national average.[8] The progress students make from starting at age 11 places it in the top 20% of schools nationally.[9] The school's 5A*-C indicator has been in the 70-80% range for the past 4 years. It achieved an English Baccalaureate result of 36% in 2011.[10] It regularly ranks at the top of the A Levels results table for non-independent schools in Hampshire.[3]
Ofsted Inspection Reports[edit]
The school was last inspected by OFSTED in February 2012. The inspection team rated the overall effectiveness of the school as Good. The "Quality of teaching" and "Achievement" were rated as Good. "Behaviour and Safety" and "Leadership and Management" were rated as outstanding.[11][12]
Key findings of the Inspection
- The headteacher leads the school with great clarity of purpose and communicates very high expectations. At the same time as pursuing high quality academic outcomes for all students, she maintains a constant emphasis on attending to their individual and personal needs. This has resulted in the school being a very positive, vibrant and resilient learning community.
- The strength of its ethos has enabled the school to cope very successfully with significant changes in the nature and the particular needs of students over the last few years.
- Good teaching supports good levels of achievement by students. Students leave Year 11 with GCSE results that are significantly better than the national averages, and they make good progress over Key Stages 3 and 4.
- The sixth form is good. The progress made by sixth form students has been less strong over recent years, but never less than satisfactory. It is now good, and improving, because of strong and effective leadership in that area, and good quality provision.
- Most of the teaching is good and some is outstanding. The school gives very high priority to constantly improving the quality of teaching and does so successfully. It is aware of the ways in which the teaching needs to improve to secure outstanding progress for all students.
- Students' behaviour is exemplary. They show very high regard for the values of the school and individuals show great pride in being part of such a close-knit and successful community. Outstanding behaviour supports their learning strongly.
- The provision for social, moral, cultural and spiritual development in the curriculum is very well developed and it has an extremely positive impact on students' experiences.
- Parents and carers show high levels of confidence in the work of the school. The school values their contributions to its work but there remains untapped potential for closer collaborative work that could lead to even higher quality outcomes for students.

Charlottetown, PE - Grandstand seats for the 2016 Gold Cup & Saucer harness racing meet at Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park will go on sale Tuesday July 5th at 9 a.m. (AST). The price is $55 per seat (tax included) and also includes a BBQ voucher. Customers can purchase them in person at the Red Shores' race office in Charlottetown or by phone at 902-629-6636. The 57th edition of the Sobeys Gold Cup & Saucer will take place on Saturday August 20th, 2016. By Lee Drake
Charlottetown, PE - The official countdown to the 2016 Gold Cup & Saucer gets underway Saturday at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino. The legendary CDP oval opens the curtain with 10 races and a 6pm post time. The evening's top class will feature the preferred pacers in race 5 with the starter calling the horses to the gate at 7:08pm. Race analysts Gerard Smith and Les MacIsaac are split in their top selections with Smith giving the classifier's choice to newcomer Euchred (5-2 odds) who makes his Island debut from post 3 for driver Jason Hughes, trainer Walter Walker and owner Kayla Habicht Walker, Inverness, NS. The four-year-old son of Shadow Play won his last start by three lengths over Flamboro Downs on March 24th. MacIsaac, a race handicapper for over 20 years in Charlottetown, has listed Idealic Life as the one to beat. "The only thing hotter than this horse at the end of the last meet was his driver Corey MacPherson. If they're as dangerous a combination as they were then, he'll be hard to deny." Trevor Hicken trains the pacer for Perry, Luke and Robin Burke and Kent Livingston and goes into the event with a seven race winning streak. Hicken and Livingston will also send out Bazillion from post 5 with Brian MacPhee listed to drive. This horse loves to bust the gate so he should be the one laying down the early fractions. The other newcomer in the match-up is Bolero Trisco off the rail. Trainer Neil Bambrick qualified the Ontario invader for owner Jonah Moase but hands the lines to veteran Gary Chappell. Eagle Jolt will line up from post 2 for trainer-driver Marc Campbell and the ownership duo of Wilbur and Marie MacDonald, Orwell Cove, PE. Campbell and Hughes, who shared top driver honors for second year in a row, were named as part of the line-up in the Regional Driving Championship coming to the city on June 25th. The information was released Thursday with Walter Cheverie and Corey MacPherson also representing the Island team. In other action, Tempo Seelster (Vince Poulton) gets the top call in the 8th annual PEI Poker Challenge pace in the 10th race finale. Race fans will be treated to a number of on-track promos with the first 150 customers who buy a race program after 5pm receiving a Red Shores gift, radio personalities Gerard Murphy of Ocean 100 and Laura Woodworth with Hot 105.5 will make an appearance on the broadcast and details will be released on the new $100,000 Dash for Cash coming in June.

Charlottetown, PE - The 56th edition of the Sobeys Gold Cup & Saucer will go post at 3pm today (Sunday) at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park. The signature race was cancelled prior to the start due to severe thunder storm that hit Prince Edward Island. The live broadcast will go to air at 2pm with the horses and drivers on post parade at approximately 2:20pm with the singing of the Island Hymn. The wagering windows will be open for selling at 1:30pm. All tickets purchased on the Saturday Gold Cup will be refunded. Watch history live at www.redshores.ca Lee A. Drake
CHARLOTTETOWN – When harness racing trainer/driver Danny Romo leaves from the post position tonight, he'll have the shortest route to the biggest race of his life. Danny Romo has been working with The Rev for the better part of five years, breaking and training him as one of the top Maritime bred horses in action today. On Saturday night, Romo will take The Rev behind the gate for the second big trip in as many weeks - looking for an Exhibition Cup win. Late last month, I stood in Romo's stable at Truro Raceway, shooting the breeze with one of the most tenured veterans in the business. Fresh off Governor's Plate week in Summerside, he had a tired look on his face after driving to and from the Island night in and night out. We talked about the upcoming Exhibition Cup, his past wins and his future plans. Maybe it was the tired bags under his eyes talking, or maybe it was the truth, but he said he wants to give it up soon. He said he thinks about it all the time, but can't very well walk away knowing there aren't enough young drivers sticking around to replace the Danny Romos, Pooker McCallums and Dave Careys when they go. "I'm getting older now and getting tired of this business," he said. "Like I said, six days going to Summerside getting back at two-thirty and three in the morning. I said this year it would be my last year doing that. I'm getting too friggin' old for that stuff." There is one thing left he wants more than anything though – the Gold Cup and Saucer. Three years ago, after spending the summer in Newfoundland, I moved back to P.E.I. for a new school year. There was a major logistical problem, however. I picked the worst day of the year to drive a truck full of furniture through the streets of Charlottetown. It was Gold Cup and Saucer Day. On this day, once a year, the streets are filled with people and the city has an unnatural buzz to it. There's a parade that puts the city's Christmas parade to shame. There are parties all over town and they all converge on one place once the sun goes down – the Charlottetown Driving Park. Imagine how it must feel for someone who works in the industry. Once a year, all the excitement and attention formerly attached to the sport becomes a reality again. For one night, an entire city becomes harness racing fans. The $60,000 purse falls far short of the most lucrative races in North America, but the prestige that comes with it is priceless. For that reason, Danny Romo is still searching for that one last bit of fulfillment. "I've pretty much won every major race there was in my life, in my racing career, except for the Gold Cup," he told me. "That's the only one I can't remember winning out of the big events and the stake races in the Maritimes." This year, Romo will be in a unique field of horses with The Rev. In past years, the Gold Cup has drawn in the best of the best from the Maritimes, Ontario and into the Northeastern States. Charlottetown Guardian columnist Nicholas Oakes reports in 2011, there were 25 trial entries with 13 from Ontario. This year, there were just 12 entries, with one from Ontario. This undoubtedly paved the way for the six Maritime horses to make the final, including the locally bred and broken Rev. That's not to say it's going to be a cakewalk, however, as harness racing powerhouses Ron Burke and Rene Allard will also have horses in the mix tonight. At 10-1 odds, Romo is a long shot even from his inside post. But he knew that long before any odds were established or posts were drawn. "I'll probably never win a Gold Cup before I give it up, but it would be nice to do it," he told me after that long day at the track in July. With a wink, a smile and a crack at his inevitable aging, he said, "Every young fella wants to win that one." By Ryan Cooke Reprinted with permission of the Truro Daily News
With co-favorite Sparky Mark (Simon Allard) off the gate at the start, driver Marc Campbell saw opportunity knocking on the door and sent Take It Back Terry to the front and they held on with ease in capturing the second elimination division of the Gold Cup & Saucer Monday at Charlottetown Driving Park on Prince Edward Island. Now the Allard vs Burke rivalry continues in the Gold Cup & Saucer final next Saturday for the third straight year. Allard won it last year, Burke the year before. The 12th race feature Monday saw local favorite D Gs Camme (Gilles Barrieau) shoot to the early lead from the rail with Big Surf (Jody Jamieson) sneaking into the pocket-seat and a seemingly hung-out-to-dry Take It Back Terry first-over from the start. Then by a brisk :26.4 opening quarter mile, driver Marc Campbell had power with Take It Back Terry as they muscled their way to the lead. But there was only room for a :28 quarter breather to the half in :54.4 before Simon Allard came first-over with Sparky Mark as Lucan Hanover (Jonathan Drury) grabbed the second-over spot. Down the backstretch they raced, Sparky Mark trying to collar pacesetter Take It Back Terry by the three-quarters in 1:23, but it was to no avail as Take It Back Terry was the strong horse, going on to win by one and three-quarter lengths in 1:50.4 with Sparky Mark second best and D Gs Camme third. Finishing fourth and making the final was Lucan Hanover. "It wasn't the plan at all (going to the front)," Marc Campbell said. "I kinda looked over and saw that Simon (Allard) was off the gate so I figured I would go for it. I saw that Gilles (Barrieau) was going to the front and I figured he would let me go and I wanted to control the pace. "Then Simon came first over up the backstretch and that is where I wanted him," Campbell said. "It all worked out great." It was the sixth win this year for Take It Back Terry. The eight-year-old gelded son of Western Terror is trained by Ron Burke and owned by Burke Racing Stable, Weaver-Bruscemi, Larry Karr and Phillip Collins. He paid $4.40 to win. Take It Back Terry By Steve Wolf, for Harnesslink.com
Prince Edward Island, CA - Driver Brad Forward and trainer Rene Allard, the winning connections of the 2014 Sobeys Gold Cup & Saucer, teamed up with Australian import Crombie A to set a new track record of 1:50.3 in this year's first trial on Saturday at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park. Leaving from the post five, Crombie A and Forward were able to settle into the pocket spot behind inside starter Im Drinkin Doubles (Marc Whebby), who led the field of six through fractions of :26.4, :54.4 and 1:22.2. Meanwhile, outsider Atta Boy Dan (Marc Campbell) advanced first over with The Rev (Danny Romo) following his cover. However, Crombie A closed through the passing lane to prevail by one and a half lengths while favourite Atta Boy Dan overtook Im Drinkin Doubles for the runner-up role. The Rev finished fourth while All Turain (Corey MacPherson) was fifth and Modern Xhibit (Robert Shepherd) rounded out the complete order of finish. "This is awesome," said Forward after the race. "Rene told me about this horse here. He told me to give him a good shot, and you know what, I never even spoke to this fella. He was just all horse." "He's a pretty handy little horse," added Allard. "He gets around a half real good and since we bought him from Australia he's just been awesome. We never left with him because those horses are known to get a little hot if you leave with them when you first get them. But today was a short field and I told Brad I think we should leave a little bit because it only showed the #1 [Im Drinkin Doubles] and the #6 [Atta Boy Dan] had a little bit of gate speed and Brad got the job done again. We hope everything works out for the final and we're just happy to be here. We're having fun either way, but it's always nice to win it." Crombie A's winning time lowered the track record by one-fifth of a second that was held jointly by last year's Gold Cup & Saucer champion Bigtown Hero, 2013 champion Escape The News and 2014 trial winner Mickey Hanover. It also matched Prix d'Ete champion Sunfire Blue Chip's Canadian record for an aged pacing horse on a half-mile track, set at Hippodrome 3R in Quebec last year. To view the race click here.

Tempo Seelster, owned, trained and driven by Vince Poulton, Charlottetown, is the favorite at 5-2 odds on the morning line. Race analyst Les MacIsaac, who returns for his 18th year on Les's Picks in the race program, says he will tough to beat. "Tempo Seelster closed out the meet with back to back wins and if the recent qualifier is any indication, he looks poised to pick up right where he left off." The field has some other heavy hitters including JRs Hurricane (Gary Chappell) who had a sparkling resume in 2014 with 26 top three finishes from 38 starts which included 12 victories while pole sitter Outside The Wire makes his season debut for trainer Craig Avery and driver Jason Hughes. Hughes, who shared with top driver of 2014 with Marc Campbell with 126 winners, is booked on five horses while Campbell is down on six. Both pilots open the season tied with 12 scores each on the leader board. The top class also includes Veronicavermillion (Neil Bambrick), Carnivore (Walter Cheverie) and Miracle Matts (Corey MacPherson). Campbell could grab the early lead in the season's rankings when he handles newcomer Fly With Max from post 6 in the PEI Poker Challenge pace in race 1.

Turning for home, it was a two horse breakaway in the 55th running of the $75,000 Sobey's Gold Cup and Saucer with Bigtown Hero and driver Brad Forward battling past Wazzup Wazzup in a track and Canadian record equalling performance to close out Old Home Week at Charlottetown Driving Park on Saturday night. Scott Rocks (Jonathan Drury) fired to the lead, but trial winner and even-money favourite Aracache Hanover (Marc Campbell) was on the move early, sweeping around that foe during a :26.4 opening quarter. Take It Back Terry (Gilles Barrieau) began to advance from mid-pack with Forward rolling Bigtown Hero out three-wide as they passed the midway mark in :55.2. Meanwhile, Wazzup Wazzup (James MacDonald) swept up from third to take over the lead from Aracache Hanover. Wazzup Wazzup raced past three-quarters in 1:23.3 with the wide rallying Bigtown Hero advancing into second and those two took off turning for home. Bigtown Hero kept on rolling and edged by Wazzup Wazzup in deep stretch for the 1:50.4 victory. The winner's stablemate, Island Jet (Robert Shepherd), came on from the back of the pack to finish third, over seven lengths behind. To read the rest of the story click here.
It's finally here, the one day a year that racing fans around the world gather at Red Shores Charlottetown for one of the greatest shows in harness racing, The Sobey's Gold Cup and Saucer. With fans lined along the fence and not an empty seat in the house, the fastest and richest Gold Cup and Saucer will be contested for a purse of $ 75,000. To most it's not a lot of money, but to the people trying to win it, it's not about the money. It's about the show. When the lights go down on Saturday night, the only thing to be seen is the Farris Wheel in the distance, but once that spot light picks up the first starter, Wazzup Wazzup, Saturday night, not a single person at Red Shores Charlottetown will be sitting, and every person will have chill roll down their spine as track announcer Vance Cameron rhymes off every horse, driver and trainers credentials. Leaving from Post 1 is the six-year-old son of Life Sign, a winner of 21 races lifetime and a lifetime record of 1:49 taken two starts ago at Mohawk, He is owned by the Rolling Hill Racing Stable of Ontario. Trainer Corey Johnson will look to follow in his father Colin's footsteps and take home his first Gold Cup and Saucer trophy. James MacDonald, an Island native of P.E.I. will return home in hopes of making his boyhood dream of winning the Gold Cup and Saucer a reality. Wazzup Wazzup was a fourth place finisher after a break passing the five-eights in his trial. Trial 2 winner Aracache Hanover has drawn into post 2. The richest horse in this year's field, he has over $1.7 million in career earnings. He is owned by William Switala and James Martin of New York. Trainer Ron Burke is back to defend his title from last year when he set the track record with Escape The News in 1:50.4. He will entrust in the Maritimes leading driver Marc Campbell, as he looks to make it back-to-back Gold Cup and Saucers. 'King Campbell' will look to do so after sweeping both trials this year.

Charlottetown, PE - Old Home Week 2014 is sure to be filled with tons a power packed racing action and memories that will last a life time. Every OHW is filled with memories, last year, Marc Campbell and Escape The News winning the Gold Cup and Saucer in track record fashion. Dubbed one of the greatest Gold Cup and Saucers of all-time, the special Sunday afternoon mile in 2008, when Island native Earl Smith and Pownal Bay Matt crossed the wire first, and only four lengths separated the whole field. The 1988 Gold Cup and Saucer when Dr. Ian Moore worked his way up the inside of the entire field from fourth to win in the mud. How about August 20, 2005 when Flaming Moe and Gilles Barrieau set the track record of 1:54.3 for three-year-old pacing colts, winning by 10 lengths. August 18, 2001 when they needed to grade the track because of the mud and Firms Phantom picked up his 22nd straight victory in 1:54.4 just four races later. These memories are what makes Old Home Week and racing in the Maritimes special. As part of making memories last, Red Shores is proud to announce that the Memory Lane segment sponsored by Metro Building Supplies will be back again this year. The Race Day broadcast will highlight some of those Old Home Week memories from years past. Memory Lane 2014 will feature the three horse match race between Winner's Accolade, Angel's Shadow and Waveore dubbed the Battle of Champions, the 1984 Gold Cup and Saucer with Pearl's Falcon and Mike MacDonald, trot record mile by Colgan's Comet in 1983 and the Royal Pace.

Maritime horseman Phil Pinkney has been involved in the harness racing industry for over half a century and there is not much Phil hasn't seen and as time has passed his passion for harness racing has never faltered. "I am 29 years old so I've been doing this for 9 years now" Phil says with a laugh. "They say I am 70-something now and I started when I was 15." Phil has the spirit of someone a quarter of his age and if anything, Phil's passion and enjoyment for the sport has only grown deeper roots as each season passes. "It's the best sport in the world!" says Phil. Harness racing is facing uncertain times and the need to garner upbeat public attention is right now. Phil explains the only direction left for the sport to go is up and the more I get to know people within the industry, from drivers to trainers, grooms to joggers, announcers to handicappers I can sense the tide turning for the good. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, but with a positive outlook and demonstrating to the public the immense passion the horsemen and women possess, sooner rather than later fans will be flocking to the grandstands. "It's a tough deal out there with so many things to compete against for the attention of the young generation; we haven't kept up our end as horsemen and management to grab their attention." Phil says. "I just don't think we have done our homework, we never paid attention to the public. We took the public for granted I think and we didn't promote our sport to them. We thought (the public) should come bet on us, but there was so much stuff starting to take place and we didn't have the proper leadership as horsemen and we didn't have the proper leadership from track management to look after the public. "We just thought the public would keep showing up to the races when we should have been buttering (the public's) bread and we are still not doing that." Phil explains how he would love to see the grandstands full at every track and wishes harness racing garnered more positive media attention. "More needs to be added to it, giveaways and good food and stuff like that. You just can't give them a hotdog and french fries and think you're doing good." Phil adds, fans need to be treated in a way where coming to the track is more than just a onetime thrill. "Make people feel like they want to come back next week to good food and they're thinking 'the track puts on a good show we should come back next week and bring some friends.' That's the way you got to try and make people feel in my opinion." Last year Phil thought the local tracks were going to be shut down, but what actually happened was the tracks continued to thrive by continuing to advertise, putting people's pictures in the local papers and making sure there were continuous giveaways to the fans. "It's amazing the stuff they've done" says Phil. "They advertise you could get your face in the paper and it made a great difference. (The tracks) did all the small things they could do, like I say, there is so much for the younger generation to get them interested... because today they have their faces stuck to their telephones and computers 24/7. We got to put on a good show for the grandstand." Phil is as straight forward a person one can meet and it's a pleasure because Phil tells you his thoughts openly, but in a classy way. Phil is not rude or abrupt, rather diplomatic and caring is his approach to discussing the harness racing industry. In 2008 Phil won the prestigious O'Brien award for horsemanship. "They don't come by too often" Phil laughs. "I was pretty lucky to get it.... There were probably a lot of people who deserved it more than I did. I sure appreciate it. I didn't go down to accept the award... I don't really know why, maybe they should have hit me on the head." Aside from shoeing, breaking-in, training and driving horses, I asked Phil what he hasn't done to date and with a boisterous laugh he said he wasn't sure. "I've been around so long sometimes you try and do it all. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work out to well." Phil acknowledges. "I've been lucky to have pretty good owners. That's the big thing, good owners and treating them right. I always try to keep everything straight and tell the owners how it really is. "In horse racing, the media will advertise something bad many more times than they would something good. So always be honest." Phil says in regards to treating horses with care. In Phil's eyes, if a horse isn't well, you don't push the horse because in reality, like humans injuries will occur and that affects everyone, but most important of all, the horse. Looking back over his career, there are several horses that stand out in Phil's mind, one of them being Dunachton Gale. "We bought him here in Truro at a yearling sale. He made around $200,000 racing here in the Maritimes. He was a cheap horse but anytime you can race around the Maritimes and pick up $200,000 you got a fair horse." Phil has also won 2 Gold Cup and Saucers as a driver/trainer, the first in 1978 with Nickname in a time of 2:02.2 and in 1986 with Rev Your Engine in a time of 2:02.1. "They put on a great show in Charlottetown... now with the out of town horses you have them going a mile in 1:50 or 1:51. It's one heck of a show that's for sure" says Phil. "It's good for racing because people want to see the fast mile. I remember when I won it with Rev Your Engine the centre field was packed and it was just unbelievable and they still get just as big of crowds now." Phil is a fan of what Jeff Gural is doing down at the Meadowlands. "He's building the public's trust and he's probably on the right track. The betting is up and people will want to go down that way and that will benefit the horsemen in the long run. If no one is betting there's no racing." Nowadays Phil has four horses in his care, however Phil admits "...we've been busy all winter. In the winter time I usually head to the woods and do my rabbit hunting, I like to get to the outdoors and get my hunting time." "I have Beagles and we hunt rabbit and hunt deer" says Phil. "During the winter time we try to get out at least two or three times a week. A group of us go, bring our lunch and have a good time spending the day in the woods." With the intense winter weather the Maritimes encounters, Phil makes sure he has his sled for the dogs and has his snow shoes. "It's some pretty rough days at times, stone cold but we got the four wheeler and the sled for the dogs behind. It's good fun! The biggest deer I got was about 220 pounds.... I used to hunt a lot of bobcats, and there's still quite a few around." For the upcoming season, Phil is looking forward to the stakes season, watching the young horses improve. "Brent McGrath has a colt from Somebeachsomewhere, Melmerby Beach and I would put him on the calendar to watch." Phil continues, "He's a three year old who trained in Florida and he's really nice. I think he's in Paul MacDonnel's hands now and Paul is very high on him and they're getting him ready for the big races." One thing Phil wants all harness racing fans to know is that his horse always comes first no matter the situation. "They always have to be fit to race and able to put on a good show." Phil says. "I like to help the young driver's out... seeing them start out and doing their best and not over drive their horse." Phil has three sons, Brian, Dale and Keith. "Keith and I own some horses and Paul Langille is like a son to me." Once Phil started talking about Paul, it sounded like he was getting a bit choked up; it was quite a feeling to absorb, hearing Phil describe Paul's talents and work ethic. Phil has a lot of heart and still has a lot left in the tank to continue his work within the harness racing industry. By: Roderick Balgobin www.supernovasportsclub.com Twitter: ScSupernova
Marc Campbell's winning drive in the 2013 Gold Cup and Saucer is by far one of his most memorable victories. Marc guided Escape the News (trained by Ron Burke), to victory in a staggering 1:50.4 to set the track record at Charlottetown Driving Park. "I drove the horse, (Escape the News) the week before the trial and I was half expecting them (the people that brought the horse up to PEI), to tell me how to drive. I had no idea what to expect" says Marc. "The only thing I got told was he is kind of lazy.... I love those horses so it was perfect. "I love those big grinding, kind of lazy horses. I like to make them work." Marc notes. "For some reason I get along with them and as soon as I heard that, I was pretty excited. Some people wouldn't be, but I was." After winning the trial, Escape the News drew the 7th spot, "It took the pressure off me and put it on the other guys." Marc explains. Marc, 29, is grateful to the racing manager at the time, Brett Revington, who suggested Marc's name and reputation as a good driver to the Burke stable for helping Marc land the opportunity to drive Escape the News. If it were not for Marc's grandfather, Charles MacDonald, perhaps Marc would never have grown into the horsemen he is today. Charles MacDonald taught his grandson that hard work and understanding the importance of quality work was the essence to success. Marc also had his two uncles, Jimmy and Michael MacDonald to help guide him as well; ensuring his hard work would pay off. "I started at an early age, my grandfather had horses and my uncles were into horses and helped get me into it." Marc explains. "I was raised by my grandfather and my mom and two brothers, (Shawn Campbell and Robby MacDonald), lived with my grandparents." "My mom, Jeanie, loves racing right now and she goes to all my races but growing up she wasn't really into it, she knew we had horses. She's a huge fan right now and loves going to the track now." Marc says. "My grandfather is the whole reason I drive and train... working at the barn with him, he was a real special guy to me. He's the one who started taking me to the track" say Marc. "It was with him I jogged my first horse. He dragged me or I dragged him to the track. I started driving matinee (amateur) races when I was 14 years old. He put the gas in the truck and took me where I had to get to." Growing up, Charles MacDonald would buy older horses to help teach Marc how to properly care and tend to the horse's needs. "You take care of the animal and they'll take care of you" Marc says. "They weren't expensive, but it taught you how to work from the bottom up." In essence, the value Marc was taught was to never take anything for granted. A fond recollection Marc has is being at his first Gold Cup and Saucer race in 1994 when he was ten with his grandfather. "I remember trying to hang on to the fence so I can see over the fence to see the race and I remember the crowd." Mark recalls, "I was lucky to grow up watching the Gold Cup and Saucer and I drove in it twice before last year and to actually win it was special." 'The best thing about my grandfather is he treated everybody the same. It didn't matter how much money you have or you didn't have, he treated everybody equally. I try to learn from that, he was a pretty amazing guy." Marc watched how his grandfather worked and interacted with others since Charles MacDonald was the quiet type, the type of person who led by example. With Marc, you can hear the heartfelt emotion rise the more he spoke of his grandfather. Unfortunately Marc's grandfather passed away a few years ago. "That was pretty hard to get through but we did it with thanks to my wife, and she helped me keep battling.... She's always in my corner." Marc is married to Natasha, going on seven happy years, (although they've been an item for 12 years) and they have three kids, their son Landon who is six, Allie who will be five next month and Rayah who is 19 months. A couple of months ago, Marc and Natasha got the happy news that they are expecting a fourth child. "I keep saying it's going to be a boy" says Marc. "So it will probably be a girl... it's going to be fun and we are getting excited by it." Marc's wife Natasha trained horses with her stepfather, trainer Darryl MacLean, prior to meeting Marc at the track. "He does pretty good... I drive a little bit for him" Marc says. "Sitting at the dinner table, horse racing will come up. My family supports me huge, I have other uncles who were never really involved in horse racing until I started to get involved and now they follow me like crazy. At (last year's) Gold Cup, the after party went on for a long time. Being surrounded by friends and family when I pulled into the winner's circle and a bunch of them put me on their shoulders; it was a pretty cool feeling." Back in the early part of 2007 prior to getting married in the summer, Marc was working in Ontario for Anthony Macdonald. "I drove some for (Anthony). I drove a few at Flamboro and some at Kawartha. I did drive for a few other people... it was pretty fun." Marc continues that he got hurt at the barn one day, so bad that he packed up and moved back home. "It was kind of a freak thing. Down in London... I was getting a harness ready for a horse I was going to drive and I stepped awkwardly onto a mat from off a platform where we get ready and I pulled all the ligaments in my ankle. My ankle blew up... and tore everything in it." Aside from driving, Marc does train horses so he is one of the lucky few people in the Maritimes who is able to be a fulltime horseman. "We've been pretty lucky so far and hope things keep going." Marc says gratefully. David Rose is someone Marc also credits for helping him getting started as a young driver. Marc got his license when he was 18 and David helped Marc by giving him catch drives when possible. "Very smart guy, very quiet guy too" is how Marc describes David. "He started giving me catch drives and I got to drive this three-year-old colt, Elm Grove Rebel, that he had who was making breaks and was a bit erratic at times but very fast. I drove him a couple times and a stake race came up... and I remember I moved him first up and at that time I didn't move that many horses first up because I didn't have any power. "This day David told me don't be scared to move him (first up), so I did. He ended up winning in 1:56 which was the fastest win at that time. I remember that day and thought, 'this first up stuff isn't that bad' and I've been doing a lot of that ever since." Marc is a keep it simple type of person, family and being a top quality horseman is what matters. Marc enjoys taking his kids to hockey, playing hockey with them and cheering on the Montreal Canadiens. "My kids are big Montreal fans now so it's pretty fun to watch games.... My son is a big Carey Price fan and he likes competing" Marc says. "I like Brandon Prust a lot, I like the way he plays. He's a tough little guy... kind of makes me think of how I would play if I played, getting into the corners, mix it up and have some fun." It was at a Montreal Canadiens hockey game where Marc met his father, Carl Campbell, a few years ago. "It was the first time, I found out I had a sister, Ellen, so we met her first and then we met the whole family and we have been in contact the entire time." Marc explains. Many people would hold a grudge about not knowing their father or the fact that there are siblings out in the world. But . Marc isn't the type of person to judge; rather Marc quite understands the situation. Marc recalls having a memory or two from a young age but nothing that stands out in his mind. "I don't hold anything against (my dad). The way I see it, he's probably lived with guilt for quite a few years so I think that's enough torture." Marc states. "We have a good relationship now, so it's all good. When I was a teenager I thought about it and was half mad at the world because of it, but as you get older you get wiser." "Once you have kids, things change so much it unbelievable" says Marc. "They teach you to have patience. It teaches you so much, it's pretty cool." by Roderick Balgobin, www.supernovasportsclub.com Twitter: ScSupernova
Ok racing fans, looks like we are on a minor positive roll now...Gotta pick some more winners. Right now I stand at picking horses in 73 races with just 28 winners, not good enough. I went five for six week and won $4.80. We are still in the minus earning column at -$26.60 going into this weekend. The big action is at Pocono Downs with the Battle of Brandywine and Colonial Trot but we are also trying our luck at Saratoga for the Joe Gerrity Memorial and at Charlottetown Driving Park for Gold Cup & Saucer final. Some chalk, of course, but some opportunities to make a score! $500,000 Battle of Brandywine 3YO Open Pace 12th race Pocono Downs – It's the return of Captaintreacherous, rested and once again fit and ready to race. Tough to go against this colt, who is undefeated in six starts this year. With $250,000 winners' share of the purse the competition will not be lying down and letting him win for fun. Mach It So is on a five-race win streak, seven of nine wins this year, Sunshine Beach, Some Kinda Beach and Lonewolf Currier will make the race interesting but from a decent inside post (4), I see the "Captain" winning once again. $500,000 Colonial Trot 3YO Open 11th race Pocono Downs – Looks nearly like the same field from the Hambletonian final two weeks ago and I am looking at about the same results once again. Royalty For Life, despite outside post eight, has been awesome and with a week's rest should be ready to do battle once again. It's never a walkover against this group but he has been razor sharp last four starts and a repeat of any of those efforts and We Will See him in the winner's circle again. $350,000 Valley Forge 3YO Filly Pace 10th race Pocono Downs – Six of the nine fillies in this classic matchup are all coming off victories in their last start and you can actually make a case for most of those six making it into the winner's circle. Of course I Luv The Nitelife looms the class of the field having won seven straight but Somwherovrarainbow, Love Canal, Shebestingin, Novascotia Hanover and Jerseulicious are no slouches either. Great looking race but with I Luv The Nitelife getting a week off from racing her heart out most of the season, I can only see her being ready for action and winning in here even if she gets parked out most of the mile. $275,000 Joe Gerrity, Jr. Memorial FFA Pace 8th race Saratoga – I saw Foiled Again on a half mile in the Battle of Lake Erie and he ended up being a non-factor in the race as the betting favorite. With a little rest since his last start he could fare better in here but I don't think so. Thus I am going with Bolt The Duer (post 5). Always in the hunt against the best in the country but provided he can handle the half mile oval he may be able to return to his winning ways in here. $200,000 Colonial Trot Consolation 3YO Colts 7th race – Despite lack luster effort in the Hambletonian final, Creatine made people stand up and take notice after he won his Hambo elimination heat on the front end in a lifetime best 1:52.4. Lightly raced so far this season he should be primed for a big effort and handle this group. $200,000 Battle of Brandywine Consolation 3YO Colts 8th race Pocono Downs – Another great race where most of the field has a good shot at winning. Rockin Amadeus and Johny Rock figure to be the favorites and rightly so but I am looking at Resistance Futile to win in here and perhaps pay a decent price. In his last start he got perfect cover and scored in a lifetime best 1:49.2 with a :26.4 last quarter mile. Has good inside post (2) and with some early cover he can come on later in the race to win. $60,000 Gold Cup & Saucer Final Open Pace 14th race Charlottetown Driving Park – This is the Little Brown Jug of Canada as thousands of people will be attending this classic race. And this year it has drawn some top pacers from North America, all coming to little PEI for Old Home Week. All three trial winners from last week have a good shot at repeating and thus I am going with Hillbilly Hanover. Has good post (3), won his trial in a romp in 1:51.4 and whether he tries to cut the mile or gets any live cover early he will tear into this field.

I am editing a theme and I am trying to get my tag cloud widget to conform to the style of the rest of my site and I cannot find where to edit it. I've looked in functions.php and it does not seem to be there with the other widgets, unless I am simply over looking it. It is on my site, but I can't seem to find where I can edit it. Any thoughts? Is this even possible currently? Or more likely, am I just over looking a simple solution ? :)
Any help is much appreciated

- Bubo virginianus, family Strigidae.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Great horned owls are the largest owls in North America, with females obtaining a wingspan of five feet and weighing up to five pounds.
- He also discovered that some important protected species like the horned owl were hunted for black magic rituals and sorcery, such as the practice of certain tribes that use the owls to purify 'amulets' during their street performances.
- An anthropologist recently pleaded that we should treat the threatened death of a primitive language with as much concern and sympathy as we show snail darters and horned owls and other near-extinct species of animal life.

AbstractUnder the work proposed here, we will develop a physics based comprehensive software for modeling the behavior of a diode pumped alkali laser: DPAL. The software will be designed primarily for a He-Rb DPAL. However, it could easily be applied to DPALs based on other alkali atoms, such as Cs. Furthermore, the model would be versatile enough to be applicable to other high energy lasers as well. Contrary to the conventional rate equation approach, which is often inadequate in predicting effects such as frequency pulling and spectral properties, we will make use of a comprehensive approach based on density matrix. We will also model the pump using a stochastic phase diffusion model, which is likely to be more accurate than the conventional approach of using spectrally inhomogeneous absorption cross sections. We will also employ computational fluid dynamics techniques to take into account the effect of fluid flow and temperature gradients. Longitudinal and transversal intensity variations will also be treated carefully. Northwestern University (NU), with Prof. Selim Shahriar as PI, will serve as a subcontractor, and will contribute to the development of the theoretical model. Both NU and DOT (the prime) have several DPALs currently operating. These DPALs will be used to carry out experimental verification of the relevant DPAL rate constants. Prof. Yuri Rostovtsev of University of North Texas, an expert in all theoretical aspects of this project, will work as a consultant to DOT, and will be the leader of the theoretical effort.

Is there an equivalent to the wireless adapters available for higher-end Canon DSLRs? The closest thing I have found are the EyeFi cards but was wondering if there are any other alternatives.
No, there are not any for the Rebel line. The EyeFi is your best option, and works well with the Rebels, especially the T1i, T2i and T3i. The newer EyeFi products support saving to mobile devices running iOS or Android, similar to the Canon wifi adapters pushing to FTP. It also can push video and RAW to your computer or to their servers.
The biggest disadvantage is that you don't have the wireless tethering feature that the high-end adapters provide. There are options though, you can look into something like onOne's DSLR Remote, which uses a USB tether to a laptop, and then you use your iPhone or iPad to remotely control and use Live View to frame your shots. This works really well when framing group shots, and you're out in front of the camera arranging the group, or you're actually in the shot. It's also helpful for nature photography, when a IR trigger won't reach because of the sun and you don't want to be near the camera.
If after two years you're still looking for an answer to this, you can probably make your own with a Raspberrry Pi and gphoto. It's not exactly an off-the-shelf solution, but it's doable.
Cam ranger. If you go to tethertools.com they have a product called camranger which is an awesome product that turns your android or iPhone iPad or Mac into a full featured camera controller as well as being able to control multiple cameras simultaneously. The other suggestion being the wifi sdhc card. You don't need to go with eyefi or mobi. Just get any wifi card. Toshiba make one for $40 or less. You can transfer directly to your computer. Also there is cube. And heaps of other options

Sharpie Art on Canvas (preview) by PinstripeChrisWatch
©2012-2016 PinstripeChris
I'm actually finished with this piece, but I love the way this picture came out so I wanted to share it. I'm spending more time this past week working on canvas- which as far as drawing with sharpies goes, is pretty challenging. But I like the challenge, and I really like the presentation of a canvas piece. I particularly like that I can wrap the design around the edges
Was there an inspiration photo or art? Or just an image in your head? Also, did you use pencil to sketch it out first or did you draw freehand?
great details!!
how do you get such straight lines on canvas?
great job!
I love your work. I do this as well. Just curious, do you use the sharpie markers or pens?
Thank you very much- I use the Markers pretty much all around and pens only sometimes where the marker is to fat to reach, or if I want to make a nice sharp pint at the end of something
Hey. I love your work. Im doing something like that on the canvas with the paint and that takes really long. And now i want to start doing on the walls so they look like a big painting on the wall.
Two Questions
What sharpies u use and how do you make the lines so clean
What sharpies u use and how do you make the lines so clean
Regular ole Sharpies is what I use, and for the lines I make them all in 1 stroke so they dont have any seams and are consistent
this looks really cool so far
mad skillz
Some of your designs look familiar to tradition Polynesian tattoo mostly Samoan designs but still looks awesome
Thank you- I've actually heard that before I've never seen Plynesian artwork, but there have been plenty of civilizations in years past that did similar style designs- I guess I'm just digging up old memories from History Class
I'm Samoan and if you ever did tattoos I'll come running to your shop no doubt your designs are pretty sick
Amazing. I'm not usually a person to buy things to put on my walls, but this would be one if I saw in the store, I'd make sure to purchase it for my living room.
Thank you very much! If you ever decide you'd like to have some on the wall I do sell a variety of print sizes
wow, the patterns are gorgeous!
how do artists get such a solid black from sharpies? Does the canvas help to that?
how do artists get such a solid black from sharpies? Does the canvas help to that?
Thank you! The canvas doesn't really help with the opacity of the marker- the markers themselves do. Sharpies can be used in a multitude of ways and can be super opaque. It's ink so it's very potent
I want this on my wall!
I juuuuuuuuust dropped it off at a gallery, but if you want it...
Kind of a rough surface canvas is to work on in regards to Sharpie, pretty neat work you've done considering! Can't make a pencil cooperate well with me when using canvas (then again I don't think they're meant for each other, or if it was real canvas ).
Canvas is definitely challenging, but not impossible. There are different types of canvas, but most of them will have some kind of 'tooth' you'll have to work with, but it's Canvas
Amazing, and i can see that it would very kinda difficult with the textured canvas to get those nice clean lines but you did an excellent job!
Thank you very much! Yes, the canvas is a lil trickier, but all in all I think it makes for a more finished piece when completed
very cool! It has a very graffiti/urban style.
Thanks! I'm no graffiti artist, but I have a lot of respect for the people out there doin' a righteous job of it
I commented on this before it was popular :-P
very cool, sharp clean lines and a great designee. Cant wait to see it finished
Thank you! If you don't over think it you can do no wrong- anything goes.
cool c:
do u ever sketch something with pencil lightly then trace it or do u just follow your instincts and sort of improvise?
do u ever sketch something with pencil lightly then trace it or do u just follow your instincts and sort of improvise?
we had to do something like this in an art class in college pain in to but but lots of fun... i cheeted though in some places via pencil and white gel pen... >.> being the first time id done anything like it. been wanting to do it again though. :3
Its a blast to do! I never had any art training or college or anything like that- I've always thought If you really want to do something, you'll just do it
well she was an odd teacher and i didnt like her. this was supposed to be a lesson on positive and negative space. but it was one of the only assignments i had a blast with. minus the getting high of marker fumes >.<
Hahaha fuuuuuumes. I've found that an art teacher wants to show you their way- and thats fine because thats what they grade you on- but also somewhat limiting to the possibilities. Fun is important and should happen constantly

Mac OS X 10.5.8 running on 2 GHz PowerPC G5 iMac. Firewire no longer working (powers a firewire disk, but fails to mount). "About this Mac - Hardware - FireWire" displays "FireWire Bus: Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices". At boot, the Mac displays the blue screen for about 5 minutes before getting to the login screen. I suspect diagnostics are trying to communicate with the FireWire controller.

Picture a choir-loft view of a church full of Catholics assembled for the Eucharist. It's a solemn feast, Easter perhaps. The presiding priest has just incensed the gifts and the altar, and has himself been properly reverenced in turn by the server. The server, who probably doesn't do this very often, manages to survive holding the thurible open so the priest can put in more incense, and now wobbles toward the congregation like one of those 1970s toy Weebles. Rare is the server who achieves oneness with the thurible. Most know it as an alien, near infernal smoking thing that wants to take flight on its own, and this is what it seems like as the server clanks it against the chain and wafts it three times over the congregation. In random clumps the congregants begin to straggle to their feet. From the choir loft they look more like a choppy sea than a wave. The server bows. The people are standing now. Most bow in return and watch the server wobble back into the sanctuary.
As a performance it is far from perfect. Important feasts don't happen every week, and only the pure would expect us all to get it right. In the hierarchical scheme of things, this reverencing of the congregation with incense doesn't seem that important—it is left to the server, after all, rather than the priest or the deacon. Nevertheless, it remains a precious symbolic transaction, enacting with more or less ritual grace the Catholic teaching...

I'm looking around my local bike shop and saw that the hybrids have a slim tire while a mountain has a more fatter tire. And when i researched it says the opposite. Please help me.

What you saw is generally correct. In order of increasing tire size by bike type, it roughly goes:
Of course there are exceptions and variations on these bikes that fit in that continuum, but as a general rule for tire width it's pretty accurate.
Could you be confusing diameter with width? Hybrids often have 700c wheels which are a larger diameter than 26" wheels more common on Mountain Bikes. The tire widths fitted to 700c tires are narrower than the mountain bike tires. As user973810 says the width comparison normally goes as you observed from road bike to mountain bike.
The dimensions aren't made any less confusing by the switch between metric and imperial, i.e 26" vs 700mm. Ditto for the widths.

Sherman tackles youth football
When Clark Rowan took over as one of the park directors in Sherman, one of his primary goals was to create a youth tackle football program, targeting Union County.
"Right now, there are some places that have it, but it focuses on their kids," he said. "There's nothing designed for Union County, and I want kids to like the game and for them to want to come back and play again. We're trying to build a program in Sherman, and I believe it can happen."
Rowan's program, for ages seven through 12, focuses on fundamentals while giving kids the chance to compete against other teams in the area. While the park is now filled each week, the league almost did not happen.
"When we held the first tryout, I had two kids," Rowan explained. "I stayed up the entire night before thinking about what we were going to do, then only two kids showed up, but they said they had friends coming as well, so we held on to some hope."
Rowan was able to put together a seven and eight year-old team and worked with Tupelo to set up games. Word quickly spread of the program, and in their final tryout, more than enough for each age group showed up, creating a league for all ages.
"We were thrilled when we had enough to make more teams, but then the problem became, who are we going to play?," Rowan said. "Tupelo was able to help out with the young kids, but not with the older groups, so I made a call to Saltillo, and everything has worked from that point."
With Saltillo's league boasting an odd number of teams this season, one group a week travels to Sherman on Monday nights to play the older kids, in what has become a weekly event for the community.
"When I was growing up, you could go to Sherman on any given weekend, and the ball park was full of kids, smoke in the air from the grills, and that's the way it was on our first Monday night," Rowan said. "It was just awesome."
Rowan has also enlisted the help of area coaches to offer insight for the program, as this is a building block for the future of football in the area.
"I talked to Coach (Scott) Duley and asked him to come out and talk about some things with our coaches, so that starting with the seven and eight year olds, when they get to junior high, they'll have an idea of how to play," he said. "I can see them improve from the first series to the next, and they're playing well, all things considered."
Football is not the only focus in the league, as young girls also contribute as cheerleaders.
"I had a couple people ask about having some cheerleaders, and I thought 'Great. The more kids the better,' so I asked around and have about 27 girls from all age groups out there every week," Rowan said.
The league will continue to play each week through mid-November, and with more publicity, Rowan hopes to see even more kids next season.
"We were slow getting the word out this year, as I'm new at this," he said. "Our hope is to start registration in the spring and have even more playing next year. For us, there are no boundaries."

To write this post, I was trying to think back to a month ago, when we ate this salad, on a night when I'm almost sure there was still snow on the ground. I guess there must have been, since that was the night my friend Jackie came over for dinner, and she had to grip the stair railings to keep from falling on the ice on her way inside. But listen to this: Tonight? I drove home with the windows down, the sun beating on me, and I actually was sweating, if you can believe it. All around me, the grass outside is totally green, there are flowers budding that look like lumps of cotton, and the skies are the perfect shade of blue. I know I've said this before, but it is really spring here. Finally. And honestly, I've almost forgotten winter. I think there's a lot of value in forgetting sometimes. I mean, it's not good to forget the story your friend told you yesterday at lunch, but it's pretty great if you can forget the obnoxious thing that guy said to you at work. And this time … [Read more...]
what's on the mind
This is going to be the one of the fastest post I've written here: I'm giving myself 20 minutes, start to finish. GO! OK, so that picture above---the one of the beautiful puff pastry?---is from Ina Garten, one of those people I wouldn't mind being more like. She's so classy, isn't she? I love watching her and her husband, Jeffrey (she dedicated at least a couple of her books to him, each time a different way, and I love that, too). They're like the affluent, educated, good-eating aunt and uncle I wish I had. If Ina were writing this post, she'd probably have something much more interesting to say, unlike me, who, I'm embarrassed to tell you, still (STILL!) has very little else on my mind than the weather. (THE GORGEOUS WEATHER!) If you'll permit me: This morning, I drove to work with my windows cracked open, fresh, crisp air whipping inside my little Jetta, and I wore my bright-green spring jacket, not the parka or even my dressy wool coat. Everything was so perfect … [Read more...]
with your hands
Once when I was little, one of my teachers had our entire class over for a pizza party. What I remember most was standing on a stool at a counter, spooning sauce onto a circle of dough and getting to top it with white strings of cheese, feeling very grown up. That was probably the best party ever. I kind of loved that teacher but, mostly, I loved that pizza. Here's the truth: I could eat pizza every day. Sometimes I do. I like the fancy ones that cost $15 at a nice restaurant, the frozen ones in cardboard boxes at the grocery story, even mozzarella and tomato sauce heaped high on a bagel. In my book, pizza = good. Always. So as far as pizza goes, it's hard to make me hate one (though not impossible, thank you, Domino's, when we ordered you the second time at work), it's easy to make me like one and it's, seriously, not that hard to make me really like one. Now love? Well, let's just say this: If you can't get to Chicago's best Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant or to the place … [Read more...]
All Warm Inside
The other way to make January feel a little brighter, I mean beyond marshmallows plump with peppermint, should really come as no surprise. Cold days call for one thing, and it's the kind of thing you probably wouldn't mind eating on not-so-cold days, either: hot homemade soup. Now, if this were any other food group, you might be tempted to point out that, hey, you just wrote about another soup, that potato and onion one, last week, didn't you? You could legitimately ask, what, is this going to be like the cookies now, where you all get on a kick with something and make them over and over again? So I'm very glad it is soup---hot, comforting, perfectly seasoned soup---that's in question. Or else I'd have very little to say in my defense. So first things first, this is a spinach soup. Spinach is one of those things---along with tomatoes, asparagus, parmesan cheese and pecans---that I had to grow to enjoy. I liked Popeye as much as the next kid (although maybe not as much as my mom, … [Read more...]
That's One Point for Me
In case anyone's keeping track, I have not given up on pie. No, sir. In fact, since the Great Pumpkin Pie Disaster, I've tried again not once, but twice. (And I'll be darned if I'm not going to find a way to screw up a few more well-meaning crusts, too. My dear friend Kelley sent me her go-to, and my old roommate Sonja teases me with promises that her grandma's is the best. We shall see.) Observing these things, my mom, kind woman that she is, went so far as to assure me she's got Thanksgiving's pumpkin pie covered this year. This was after my brother begged her to promise not to let me mess it up. This family of mine, they're cheerleaders, you can tell. All these things withstanding, no matter how many signs the universe sends that pie crust is just not my thing, along with skiing, swimming or, let's face it, any sport requiring a level of coordination, I have not given up. Won't give up. Am determined to get the hang of this stuff if it's the last thing I do. (Pie, are you … [Read more...]
