Role players
Published on Page A11 of the August 26, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
HAVING been following football for the last four years, and having had the chance to witness it being played on the biggest stage in Berlin, I dare say there is little hope for us Filipinos in this game.
It has been said so many times that we Filipinos have what it takes to be successful in this beautiful game. We have the agility, the speed and even the cunning and creativity to do very well on a football pitch. However, it has to be pointed out that football is not won by such skills or traits alone. It's already a cliché, but I must say that football is, more than anything else, a team game -- even more so than in basketball. And this is an area where, I feel, we Filipinos are lacking. To win in football, we must totally get rid of the "kanya-kanya" [every man for himself] system, which pervades our lifestyle and has even spread to sports. We have to shed our "me instincts" and develop our "team instincts."
But can we get rid of this mentality? Have you noticed what sports Filipinos excel at? Manny Pacquiao is in boxing, Efren Reyes in billiards and Paeng Nepomuceno in bowling. All these are individual sports. There's no doubt that we are strong individually, but can we win as a team? And when I say team, I mean a team -- not a collection of superstars or "galacticos," as the Spanish press calls them.
Consider the case of Real Madrid in the Spanish Football League. Back in 2003, after the team signed David Beckham to a multiyear contract, it was said that the team of so many attacking talents would simply run over the opposition. With Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul and Figo already in the team and now Beckham, indeed that seemed to be a foregone conclusion. However, football is not won by individual talents, and Real Madrid quickly found that out by failing to capture the championship.
To win in football, there must be defenders who are not looking for goals and glory but staying back and defending the goal, much like Italy's captain Fabio Cannavaro and Lilian Thuram of France in the recent World Cup. Their job is not glamorous, they may lack grace or juggling skills, but they are the rock upon which the team is built. To win in football, there must be people who do the dirty work, tackling in midfield and winning possession. Unappreciated though some of them may be, they provide the stability and the impetus for the attack to take place. Gennaro Gattuso of Italy and Claude Makelele of France come to mind. Their names may not make the headlines as much as, say, a Zidane or a Henry, but they are every bit as important to winning games.
Now my question and challenge to our countrymen is: Do we have Cannavaros and Thurams out there who will help us succeed in the sport? Can our Gattusos and Makeleles do the job? In fact, is anyone even willing to play that role? For our team to succeed, we need this kind of people.
I would love to see the Philippines make it to the World Cup. The feeling of solidarity, of togetherness, of being one is seldom more evident and more deeply experienced than on this grand stage. When we arrived in Europe, especially in those countries which qualified for the World Cup, the tremendous outpouring of national pride was so palpable and overpowering. National flags were flown by every passing car or draped on shops and windows. People were wearing their "national uniforms," their teams' football colors. Imagine a whole square in Amsterdam full of people in orange shirts!
This is what the World Cup means to people. They are bound together by one common cause, cheering for their countries. There was no Rome, Milan, or Torino, there was only Italy. There was no Manchester, London, or Newcastle, there was only England.
Had we played in the Cup, there would have been no opposition, no Lakas-CMD, no faction -- only one Philippines. Football would have brought to us something we desperately need: Unity and national pride.
But if we feel mortified by the state of our nation, who can blame us? What is there for us to be proud of? Almost every other guy I meet wants to leave. How can that enhance national pride? But that's for another article.
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing Cannavaro quietly do his thing in his own efficient and glamour-less way, and make his team better in the process. And somewhat ironically, this year he will be doing it for Real Madrid.

Project Description
Solar Batteries
A deep-cycle battery is a lead-acid battery designed to be regularly deeply discharged using most of its capacity. In contrast, starter batteries (e.g. most automotive batteries) are designed to deliver short, high-current bursts for cranking the engine, thus frequently discharging only a small part of their capacity. While a deep-cycle battery can be used as a starting battery, the lower "cranking amps" imply that an oversized battery may be required.
A deep-cycle battery is designed to discharge between 50% and 80% of its capacity, depending on the manufacturer and the construction of the battery. Although these solar batteries can be cycled down to a 20% charge, the best lifespan vs cost method is to keep the average cycle at about a maximum 50% discharge. There is a direct correlation between the depth of discharge of the battery, and the number of charge and discharge cycles it can perform.
Deep cycle solar batteries are often used in off-grid solar and wind power applications. Unlike a car battery, they are designed to be discharged to a greater depth and more often. The most common type of battery for deep cycle applications are AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat), Gel and Flooded.
At Sundriven, we are experts in flooded, AGM and Gel deep cycle battery technologies. If you need a helping hand in battery selection, contact our friendly team and they'll be glad to assist you!
Did you know you might be also eligible for a renewable energy rebate if you buy a deep cycle battery as part of a full system? Ask our team for further details.

Natural disasters can strike at any time. Taking a cue from the Boy Scouts, some simple yet effective advice is to "Be Prepared." Outages common during natural disasters point out the need for advance planning to ensure the continuity of your business. The recent tragedies in Texas and Florida resulting from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma brought about widespread flooding, power, water and communications outages and disruptions to road and transport networks leading to staff attendance shortfalls. Other parts of the nation are vulnerable to disasters as well such as mudslides, fires and earthquakes on the west coast, blizzards in the north and east, and tornados in the Midwest.
In the face of all this, we must recognize that people depend upon receiving their pay regardless of what may be happening in your physical location…payroll must go out. Your temp and contract placements may be remote from the area directly affected by the disaster and will likely continue to work unimpeded while they watch the disaster unfold on the news. You must plan ahead for the day when your business operations are threatened so that you can respond in a manner that ensures continuity of service to your clients.
Having a back-up plan includes several facets. Being able to work remotely is important if you are forced to evacuate your main location. You should think ahead to determine several options for remote operation should the need arise. The remote site you select should have a high likelihood of having the necessary utilities and services available in the event of disruption at your main location. Don't depend on trying to find a safe haven at the last second or during an evacuation as you will be competing with many others hoping to escape the disaster's impact. Play mental what-if games to imagine what disastrous events might likely impact your area and brainstorm possible responses. Conduct an annual drill with your staff to rehearse your company's response to an emergency. Practicing how you will deal with an emergency is an important step in your pre-planning as it will increase the likelihood that your business will continue with minimal interruption in the face of calamity. Letting your clients know that you have a thought-out emergency preparedness plan in place will increase their confidence in your ability to serve their needs.
Important documents and information should be frequently backed up and kept in a secure location. Cloud services offer handy and robust means of keeping your data safe and available. Critical information includes account numbers, passwords, contact information, specific account data, reports, and other information necessary for the continued operation of your business. Having a third-party partner for back-office services provides increased security that payroll will go out, lessening the burden on you and freeing you up to look out for your personal safety.
These recommendations easily apply to many disasters: hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, fires, and earthquakes. Learn from recent events…it can happen to you! Follow these guidelines and BE PREPARED…FOR TEMP AND CONTRACT PLACEMENTS!

Duke Now
2014-15 Duke basketball preview
Basketball season is almost here.
And, to get you ready to sound smart when speaking with friends, check out all of our Duke hoops preview material. The main stories can be summed up with a one-word theme: maturity.
*** Maturity must come fast for freshmen if Duke wants success
It's easy to forget that these stud freshmen are just 18-year-old boys trying to quickly find their way in an unfamiliar environment. And it can be tough, as both Quinn Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon can attest. But Duke doesn't have time for many freshmen moments from Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow—in Okafor's case, Mike Krzyzewski is already on record saying he'll only be here one year.
Possibly my favorite tidbit from the story: In attempt to improve his body, Okafor significantly altered his diet. What he misses most: McDonald's Sweet Tea.
***Speaking of maturity, Matt Jones described himself as the opposite last year. It was hard to watch his roommate, Jabari Parker, have so much success while he struggled. But now Matt's mind is in a better place, he feels more comfortable with himself and he's set to start.
And I'm set to have to remember to use first-name references for Tyus and Matt Jones.
*** Scouting the 2014-15 Blue Devils and breaking down the starting lineup. Who is the go-to guy? Impact rookie? X-factor? What's the best and worse case scenario? And more.
***Columnist Luke DeCock with a little true/false quiz: As talented as Duke's freshmen are, will the Blue Devils only go as far as their returning upperclassmen can take them?
***And my guy Joe Giglio with a preview of the ACC as a whole.
For all the latest Duke news, like Duke NOW on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.

SharePoint 2010 gives you the opportunity to upgrade your technology to meet the current and future needs of your business' intranet. It also enables other changes to improve business effectiveness to be made at the same time. In my last post I gave some tips on the user experience your business needs so it is ready to use SharePoint 2010. This post covers the publishing experience.
Publisher experience
- All site collection administrators, site administrators, and publishers need to be trained before they start using SharePoint 2010. The training should be a blend of face to face and online modular training depending on its complexity.
- The look and feel should be consistent – either 'out of the box' or corporate branding – so it is familiar to all publishers. It also cover the intranet standards – why as well as what they are – and need people to show they understand and will comply with them.
- While the training will mainly be for publishers there will need to be training for Site Collection Administrators and Site Administrators. The training needs to cover their roles, how they manage the intranet and comply with the publishing standards.
- The training content and method of delivery needs to be tested and shown to educate publishers in SharePoint 2010 best practice and publishing standards.
- A process should be developed so people who need to publish can request permission to publish. This will be approved by their manager and the Site Collection Administrator will set permissions and space to publish.
- The process should cover all publishers to request permission, show they have been trained, alert the approver(s) to decide if it should proceed before being implemented.
- You need to decide on your approach to reviewing all types of existing content – news, video, blogs, and audio. Your approach could include content no longer needed being deleted and people pointed to more relevant content if needed. If the content is still current and needed, it can be updated to meet the publishing standards and right tone of voice.
- An overall project plan and owner needs to be agreed who can give updates on progress.
- Once all content has been reviewed and updated it will be ready for migration. All content needs to be signed off by the owner. Ideally meta data must be added from the taxonomy with extra relevant words and phrases added to help people find the right content.
- When content is migrated it needs to be aligned with your information architecture. It also should appear in search results.
- All new content published from day 1 needs to meet the publishing standards and have the right tone of voice.
In my next post in this series I will cover how to get your business ready for SharePoint 2010 governance.

December 7, 2010
Egg and cress, cucumber and salmon, finger-style without crusts. The classic sandwiches of a traditional British afternoon tea may be delightfully refined, but they're merely a precursor to the real indulgences of the occasion – freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, fancy cakes and delicate pastries, all served alongside piping hot, perfectly brewed tea in bone china teacups.
London is the unsurpassed originator of the afternoon tea, and there are a plethora of places to satisfy your sweet tooth in style, from chic cafés to grand hotels and even palaces. Here's a pick of our favourites…
Situated on a prime corner of Sloane Square, The Botanist is a light, airy and contemporary retreat-like dining room and bar. The extensive menus include breakfast, lunch, dinner, pre-theatre, Saturday brunch and Sunday lunch, as well as a full bar menu – but the afternoon tea here is a really special treat. Choose a table in the rear room, beneath the beautiful backlit glass murals depicting botanical illustrations, and hunker down with homemade scones and a pot of Jing Tea.
Winner of the Tea Guild's Top London Afternoon Tea 2010 award, the Palm Court at the Langham on Regent Street is renowned as the birthplace of the afternoon tea tradition. To say they take tea seriously here is a huge understatement – there's even an etiquette guide on their website. Did you know that it's not the done thing to clink the sides of your cup when stirring, and that the spout of the teapot should always face the host or pourer? This is a high-end, special occasion venue so reservations are encouraged .
Elegantly situated within the grounds of Kensington Palace, the 18th century Orangery restaurant has to be one of the capital's grandest locations for afternoon tea, yet it's remarkably laid-back and relaxed. There are a number of menus to choose from, incluing the Signature Orange Tea which comes with orange scented scones, to the Enchanted Palace Tea featuring the Palace Chocolate ganache slice.
Beautiful 16th century north London mansion Hendon Hall was converted to a hotel in 1911, and later became famous as the accommodation of choice for the England football team in 1966. We're not sure if Sir Alf Ramsey's lads partook in the afternoon tea tradition during their stay, but if not, they missed out – the lemon and white chocolate cake, chocolate brownies and clotted cream scones would have certainly given them a carb boost.
The National Dining Rooms, in the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square, is the creation of renowned restaurateur Oliver Peyton, and if you indulge in afternoon tea here (and it truly is an indulgence), you'll be treated to lashings of organic jam from the Peyton and Byrne bakeries to spread generously on your buttermilk scones. For a good value but equally delicious alternative, nip over to the National Café in the East Wing instead.
Knightsbridge's famous Berkeley hotel is home to the capital's most fashionable tea by far. Prêt-à -Portea is an edible Haute Couture fantasy, inspired by some of the fashion world's most colourful characters, and fittingly served in the hotel's low-lit Caramel Room. You'll need to reserve a spot three days in advance, but the Christian Laboutin sparkly high-heeled ginger biscuit, Fendi chocolate baguette and Philip Treacy chocolate hat cake are all well worth the wait.
Where's your favourite spot for a classic afternoon tea? Let us know in the comments below. And if your preference is for something rich and roasted, check out our recent post on London's Best Coffee Shops.

Crystal Cathedral board endorses offer from Diocese of Orange
This post has been corrected. See the note at the bottom for details.
The board of the bankrupt Crystal Cathedral has endorsed the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange as the preferred buyer of the Garden Grove campus for $57.5 million.
In a statement released by the church, Senior Pastor Sheila Schuller Coleman said, "Escrow takes time to close. Nothing is final until the escrow closes. Although this decision breaks my heart, I still believe there is still plenty of time for God to do his miracle."
She said if escrow on the property "actually" closes, the ministry, including the trademark "Hour of Power" program will continue, but from a different location three years hence.
The Catholic church would purchase the property and allow the Crystal Cathedral to lease back core buildings for a limited time. After three years the cathedral's ministry would have to find a new home, possibly at St. Callistus, a diocesan church down the street.
In the statement, Coleman said, "Crystal Cathedral church is not a building."
The board also said in the statement that it appreciated efforts by Chapman University to craft a deal for the property. Chapman proposed several options for the church, including a $59-million offer.
The church filed for bankruptcy over one year ago, citing more than $50 million in debt.
A judge was to decide which buyer can purchase the property in a hearing scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Santa Ana.
"I'm devastated," said Pastor James Richards, who has been with the cathedral for 10 years. He said the congregants want to continue to worship in their church.
For the record 2:02 p.m. Nov. 17: A previous version of this post stated that the Diocese of Orange had offered $57.1 million for the Crystal Cathedral property. The diocese's latest offer is $57.5 million.
Chapman ups its bid to $59 million
Chapman University sweetens offer for Crystal Cathedral
Diocese of Orange raises offer for Crystal Cathedral: $57.5 million

[I trust I can post this without getting accused of being anti-user, user-unknowing, narrowly technical, or whatever other dismissal de jour is in the air.] It is a truism of HCI that users vary, so if you are going to evaluate something it has to be with respect to specific users (or user types) and specific issues. So, it would be helpful if we could identify a bit better what users various documents are targeting. It's just not *feasible* to reach all the users we might want to reach, in the best way for them. For example, are we going to develop tutorials? I don't think that's a good use of WG time and effort. *Recognizing* and marketing and encouraging third party tutorials is sensible. Tweaking documents in small ways to accommodated tutorial writers is *quite* sensible (because we get a lot of bang for the buck). The two most important things we can do for users, which are most squarely in our mandate and solidly within our power, is to produce a language that maximally useful for them with specifications that support -- nay, encourage -- a strong, actively developed infrastructure (of tools, expertise, experience, community, and success). It's also important that user facing websites (which is really what we are talking about) are actively maintain ad infinitum. Ephemera should be clearly labeled as such (best if naturally so like blog posts). Pace contrevening evidence e.g., from server logs, I'd imagine that a "What is OWL?" document on xml.com: <http://xml.com/> is probably more valuable overall. It targets an influential market (i.e., web developers with some technical savvy) in a focused way. Plus, it could helps elide, a little, the perception that OWL is niche, or W3C top down wankery. Similarly, at OWLED 2007, a participant called not for more "basic" user documentation, but for "mid level" stuff, i.e., you've kinda learned the language, now what? E.g., things more similar to the SWBPD patterns stuff. Hence, the OWLED task force on "Education": <http://code.google.com/p/owl1-1/wiki/Education> Things like implementation lists: <http://code.google.com/p/owl1-1/wiki/Implementations> <http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~sattler/reasoners.html> are really useful, but generally only if maintained. So, for many classes of user facing document, we need a post-WG sustainability strategy. OWLED and webont.org are two venues for this. I urge people not to forget that the WG is only one way to work toward the success of OWL, and that it is an instrument with limits and particular strengths. For example, adding a workable keys proposal to the language is, in my estimation, far more important than adding *any* user facing document. I base this on the fact that the users and "customers" that Matthew, Robert, and Alan influence don't seem to read any of the documents. They just ask Matthew, Robert, and Alan. They tell me that the lack of easy peasy keys is a huge barrier to adoption, or even to starting conversations about adoption. Extending the language is something the WG can, almost uniquely, do. (And note that speccing easy keys has not been trivial. Uli and I have spent more time that we expected trying to nail down all the details.

Click here to view past conference highlights.
Presented at the 18th Annual Research Conference
We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.
Session Number: 1000 Room: Salon E & F
Presenting: Sarah Dew; Tracy Pinkard
All Authors for this paper: Sarah Dew; Tracy Pinkard
Presentation Type: poster presentation
Synopsis: This presentation will describe a conceptual model of the relationship between pretreatment client factors, therapeutic alliance and outcomes. We will focus on three pretreatment client characteristics: family access to and utilization of social support, caregiver strain, and youth and caregiver expectancies about treatment. A definition of each concept is introduced, followed by discussion of the proposed relationship between these pretreatment client characteristics, the therapeutic alliance and treatment outcomes. By addressing these issues from the beginning of therapy, families will be less likely to drop out of and more likely to benefit from treatment. Research, practice, and policy implications are discussed.
Session Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Presentation Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

This summer two major art exhibitions will arrive in San Francisco. The first to open is "Georgia O'Keefe and Ansel Adams: Natural Affinities" at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Adams, a San Francisco native, befriended O'Keefe in 1929 and became lifelong friends. This show includes over 100 of their works depicting the natural world. The show opens on May 30 and closes September 7. Past shows by these two icons of American art have been very popular, so I suggest purchasing tickets in advance. SFMOMA is open Friday - Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. - 5:45 p..m. The museum is open from 11:00 a.m. - 8:45 p.m on Thursday and closed on Wednesday.
The second, and even bigger, show will be "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" at the de Young Museum. When Tutankhamun works were last shown 30 years ago, the exhibition was an overwhelming success. Again, buy your tickets in advance to ensure that you'll be able to visit. The show opens on June 27. The exhibition will be open daily from 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. through September 30. From October 1, 2009 through March 28, 2010, the De Young will revert to its usual hours of 9:00 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays through Sundays. On Fridays, the museum will close later at 8:45 p.m.
If you're visiting San Francisco this summer, days can be chilly so enjoy the indoors by visiting one or both of these blockbuster exhibits.

Rough Tourmaline
Though Elbaite occurs in all color forms, the term Elbaite in the
gemstone trade is sometimes used to describe the green form of
Tourmaline. The other color forms of Elbaite have their own variety names
on the gem market. Traditional Tourmaline gemstone variety names include
Rubellite, the red or pink variety, Indicolite, the blue variety, and
Watermelon Tourmaline, a multicolored Tourmaline of green and red. More
recently coined Tourmaline variety names include Chrome Tourmaline and
Paraiba Tourmaline. A recent trend in the gem market is to prefix
Tourmaline gemstones by the color designation as opposed to variety name,
such that "Rubellite" is now more often called "Red Tourmaline".

Dextrose Monohydrate
Dextrose Monohydrate is moderate in sweetness. It is 65-70% as sweet as sucrose and has a solution, which is much less viscous than Liquid Glucose. DMH is freely soluble in water at room temperature and also in boiling alcohol.
The perceived sweetness can be increased to the level of sucrose in some Dextrose/Sucrose blends. Dextrose has a greater depression of freezing point than that of cane sugar, resulting in a smoother and creamier texture of the final product like in frozen food products. The bulk density of DMH is 0.65 to 0.70 kg/cc.
- Food Grade:Dextrose Monohydrate is purified and crystallized D-glucose. It contains one molecule of water of crystallization. It exists in white, odorless, crystalline granules having a bland and sweet taste.
- Bakery Products:DMH has several functional purposes in yeast-raised foods, such as Bread and Buns. The primary purpose is to supply fermentable carbohydrate, on which the yeast may grow and provide CO2 for 'raising' the product. Its presence also assists in browning of the crust to give a final product that is pleasing in appearance and aroma.
- Biscuits:DMH can partially replace sucrose in fondants and cream fillings where fine crystals are required for a smooth texture.
- Alcoholic Beverages:DMH has high fermenting ability and can be added to low calorie beer for complete fermentation of alcohol. No carbohydrate residue remains to increase the calories in the beverages.
- Canned Products:DMH is used in canned vegetables and fruits in some instances for controlling sweetness and preserving properties.
- Confectionaries:DMH is used extensively for sweetening and coating, chewing gum and bubble gum. DMH improves the color and gloss of the gum coatings and its high heat of solution gives a cool texture in all gum and candy coating applications.DMH contributes to the tenderness; whip ability, and sweetness in marshmallow
and nougat applications.
- Meat Industry:The presence of sugar (particularly reducing sugar) in the curing mixture has a direct bearing on the quality of the color obtained at the end of cure.
- Frozen Desserts:DMH can help control ice crystals and body of frozen dairy products.
- Other Applications:Jams, Jellies, Preservatives, Peanut Butter, Seasoning, Pickle, Vinegar Fermentation, etc.
- Adhesives:DMH provides flow control and helps prevent wrapping of the pieces upon drying.
- Resin Formulation:DMH can serve as plasticizer in various resin formulations.
- Gluconic Acid:DMH can serve as feedstock for chemical or microbiological oxidation to gluconic acid.
- Building Materials:DMH can be used in wallboard as a humectant to control water release and to prevent brittle edges during drying, as setting retardants in concrete.
- Other Applications:The Reducing Properties of dextrose are used in metal treatment, recovery, dye applications, leather manufacture in chrome tanning, etc. DMH is used as carbohydrate sources in fermentations to produce a variety of industrial, food and pharmaceutical products.

Q: What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?
A: Paintless Dent Repair is a process where skilled technicians remove dents and dings from a vehicle without disturbing or damaging the paint. When possible PDR is preferable over conventional auto body repair for the following reasons:
- No body filler or paint is used. The original paint of the car is preserved adding to the resale value.
- Quicker turn around time. A single dent can take less than a few hours compared to days in a repair shop.
- Cheaper than conventional repair for small dents; comparable pricing for larger dents.
- No need to file a claim through insurance, which means no Carfax report on your car!
Q. How is Paintless Dent Repair done?
Several tools and techniques are used in PDR. The repair process may include using a rod to get behind a damaged panel, and glue pulling. PDR techs use a special light to help them see the details of a dent and make sure it is 100% removed. It is important to have someone skilled in these techniques to avoid damaging the paint and panels (see my Blog).
Q: Can all dents and hail damage be repaired using PDR?
A: No. Some dents and hail damage are so severe that a combination of both PDR and conventional methods must be used to bring the vehicle back to the original condition. If the paint is broken, the dent can be removed with PDR but conventional refinishing or brush touching will be needed. The Dent Guy offers a free consultation and can recommend the best repair for your car.
Q: Do you have to drill holes to access the dents?
A: If a dent cannot be accessed for the repair, a hole may need to be made, but this is done only as a last resort. If needed, it will be made in an area that is not visible from the outside of the car, such as a doorjamb or behind a tail-lamp and filled with a factory looking plug. The Dent Guy will notify you if a hole is needed.
Q: Is there a concern that my dent cannot be fully removed or my paint might crack?
A: If the damage on your car is deep or creased, the metal may be stretched to the point that it cannot be repaired without using conventional methods. Any attempt to remove the dent may crack the paint but you will be notified in advance if this is a possibility.
Q: How long will most repairs take? How much will it cost?
A: A door ding or a single minor dent can be completed in a hour or so. Dents that are larger or deep may take several hours to repair. The cost of the repair will vary based on the size and number of dents, the severity and location of the dent(s). Hail damage can take several days and will cost hundreds to thousand of dollars. Typically the cost is cheaper than conventional repair on small dents and is comparable on larger dents.
Q. Ok. I'm ready for my free consultation. What should I do? What information do I need?
A. You can stop by the shop located at 1184 Emerson St for a easy on-the-spot consultation. You can also call, or send an email (click on the car below for a link to contact information) with the following information:
- What type of vehicle you have? This will help The Dent Guy visualize the car.
- Where is the dent is located? This will help determine if the dent can be accessible from behind the panel.
- How large is the dent? You can refer to coin sizes (dime, quarter, etc) or measure the entire length and height of the dent in inches.
- Some follow up questions may include: how deep is the dent? Is there a crease? Has the paint been damaged? Is it on a bodyline?
- It is also useful to have some pictures of the dent that can be sent via text or email.
Q: Does my insurance cover PDR repairs? Will you work with my insurance?
A: Insurance companies now recognize PDR as a suitable alternative to conventional repairs. This method may be used alone or in conjunction with conventional methods. Although insurance companies recognize the convenience of these repairs most of them are less than the deductible that people carry on their policy. Unless there are numerous dings such as hail damage (which is a comprehensive claim) you can pay out of pocket for your repair, keep your premiums down, and best yet keep the repair off of Carfax!. The Dent Guy is a NYS registered repair facility licensed to work directly with your insurance company, we will take care of your claim and coordinate all your car rental needs.

ON AIR - Ken Tobin in the Afternoon
with Ken Tobin
Actress Blake Lively has chosen three famous Godmothers for her and Ryan Reynold's daughter James - and it is has made our dreams come true. Actresses America Ferrara, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn will all play doting Godmother to Blake's little tot. Seem familiar?
That's right. The quartet only make up THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELLING PANTS.
Remember that movie? It's one of our favourite movies where Blake plays the pretty popular girl who gets all the boys. She may play that part often...but she plays it very well.
The movie was released in 2005 and the girls have remained close ever since. We hope Leighton Meester and Kelly Rutherford aren't peeved, as she spent years starring alongside them as socialite Queen Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl.
US Weekly reports that Tamblyn confirmed the news on VH1's Morning Buzz Live:
"You're still very close with your co-stars and the three of you are godmothers to Blake Lively's baby - is that a fact?" host Nick Lachay asked. "Yes, that is a fact," Tamblyn confirmed, as the audience applauded.

Gaunce to make NHL debut as Canucks visit Starsby Steve Hunt
CANUCKS (3-2-3) at STARS (7-2-0)
DALLAS -- Center Brendan Gaunce will make his NHL debut Thursday for the Vancouver Canucks when they face the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center.
The 26th pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, Gaunce had one goal and one assist in five games with Utica of the American Hockey League when he was recalled. He is the younger brother of defenseman Cameron Gaunce, who played nine games for Dallas during the 2013-14 season.
"Yeah, it's something I've wanted to do my whole life, is play in the NHL. It was definitely a very rewarding feeling for all the last 15 years of playing hockey," said Gaunce, who will play left wing on the fourth line alongside rookie center Jared McCann and right wing Derek Dorsett.
The Canucks (4-2-3) are looking to remain undefeated on the road. They dealt the Montreal Canadiens their first loss of the season, 5-1 at Rogers Arena on Tuesday, thanks largely to two goals from McCann, who will play his eighth NHL game.
Canucks coach Willie Desjardins is keeping his forward lines the same from the Montreal game with the exception of Gaunce replacing right wing Adam Cracknell on the fourth line. His defensive pairings remain intact except for Matt Bartkowski replacing Dam Hamhuis on the third pair alongside Luca Sbisa after Hamhuis sustained a lower-body injury on Tuesday.
Goalie Ryan Miller was first off the ice for the Canucks and will start his 10th consecutive game.
Stars coach Lindy Ruff is keeping his forward lines intact after a 4-3 comeback win against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.
Ruff is making two changes to his defense pairs. Jason Demers, who finished serving a two-game suspension for elbowing Pittsburgh Penguins center Nick Bonino last Thursday, returns to his usual spot on the second pairing alongside Johnny Oduya.
With Demers returning, Jordie Benn, who had been filling in alongside Oduya in the past two games, drops down to the third pair alongside Jyrki Jokipakka, who was paired with Jamie Oleksiak against Anaheim. Oleksiak is now a scratch along with Patrik Nemeth.
Goalie Antti Niemi was first off the ice for Dallas (7-2-0) and will start a second consecutive game.
This is the first of three games with Vancouver this season and Ruff knows the young Canucks, who the Stars have won seven consecutive games against, will present a solid challenge.
"They hadn't lost a game on the road. Their penalty killing's been real good on the road. I think they're a little bit younger. They got some good speed, they got a lot of faceoff play you got to be aware of," Ruff said. "[Radim] Vrbata for me is a real good goal scorer when you get him anywhere in tight and [Brandon] Sutter, he's had a nice start for them."
Here are the projected lineups:
Daniel Sedin – Henrik Sedin – Radim Vrbata
Sven Baertschi – Bo Horvat – Jannik Hansen
Alexandre Burrows – Brandon Sutter – Jake Virtanen
Brendan Gaunce – Jared McCann – Derek Dorsett
Alexander Edler – Christopher Tanev
Injured: Dan Hamhuis (lower body), Chris Higgins (foot), Jacob Markstrom (lower body), Brandon Prust (ankle)
Scratched: Alex Biega, Adam Cracknell
Jamie Benn – Cody Eakin - Tyler Seguin
Valeri Nichushkin – Jason Spezza – Patrick Sharp
Antoine Roussel – Vernon Fiddler – Colton Sceviour
Mattias Janmark – Radek Faksa – Ales Hemsky
Alex Goligoski – John Klingberg
Injured: Patrick Eaves (lower body), Curtis McKenzie (hip), Travis Moen (upper body)
Scratched: Patrik Nemeth, Jamie Oleksiak
Status report: Cracknell is a healthy scratch for the fourth time this season. … Nemeth will be a healthy scratch for the ninth time in 10 games while Oleksiak will be for the eighth time this season.
Who's hot: Vancouver leads the NHL with a 54.9 percent win percentage in the faceoff circle. … Dallas is currently tied for third in the League with 31 goals.

Friday, 8/29/08: Hope, and Hoping He Changes
"Within a century of little Kago's arrival on Earth, according to Trout's novel, every form of life on that once peaceful and moist and nourishing blue-green ball was dying or dead. Everywhere were the shells of the great beetles which men had made and worshipped. They were automobiles. They had killed everything."
Beginning of Chapter 3, Breakfast of Champions, Kurt Vonnegut, 1973.
Today's radio broadcast is filled with stories on last night's acceptance speech by Barack Obama. In a rare use of our TV, we watched it, too.
The loyalists are energized. The Clinton crowd is stinging. The Republicans are gunning. The right wing is just plain stupid and selfish as usual.
I'm disappointed.
He devoted a big section of his speech talking up getting off Mideast oil by pouring talent and intellectual energy into developing a new generation of clean cars that will generate tons of new American jobs but not tons of emissions. I heard not a peep about weaning ourselves from cars and devoting that same level of talent and intellectual resources to creating a viable, fast, and attractive public transportation system in this country.
Now, of course, Mr. McCain is a mixed bag but the team behind him is not filled with people of high moral standing and concern for a sustainable Earth. Yesterday NPR carried a story about the Republican platform committee http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94057387. This quote stood out as I listened, saddened but not surprised:
"He (McCain) has also urged action to curb global warming and favors a cap-and-trade system that many in his party oppose. The GOP platform makes no mention of cap and trade, while it rails against what it calls 'doomsday climate change scenarios'."
We wouldn't want to confront the possibility of doomsday now, would we? Things are going to get better, trust us. Don't listen to those whiners who say there's not enough oil and not enough food. Our "can-do" American spirit can conquer anything if we put our minds to it.
Who is this really serving? My unvarnished opinion is that the Republican Party, especially since the horrific days of Ronald Reagan, have successfully convinced huge swaths of American voters to vote against their own best interests while wrapping that punch of the voting card in feel-good patriotism and misty-eyed conjurings of "family values." As marketing goes, it was a pretty damn successful campaign that continues to this day. So much so that Mr. Obama now must pander to some of the same thinking when he invokes visions of freedom from foreign oil in 10 years and domestically-produced cars that will be part of that solution.
God and country forbid, would he actually tell us that we need to be using less of everything, including automobiles.
Let me offer a little counterpoint to this thinking from the British Medical Association Journal:
Worth a read. Short version: our rate of population growth is such that we are consuming resources at a faster rate than the planet can keep up with and even attempting to wipe out poverty and hunger would depend on increased use of fossil fuels, which, you guessed it, causes climate change.
Of course, we can deny this thinking in the name of getting elected. Wouldn't want anybody to panic and stop driving now, would we?
My wife has pointed out many times lately that in all the discussions of climate change no one seems to be talking about that old concept of "Zero Population Growth" from the good old Seventies. I doubt McCain or Obama have read this BMJ article but I hope someone on their staffs are sensible enough to do so. In McCain's case, his choice of Sarah Palin has pretty much dashed that hope, so I'm left with Obama.
I don't want to downplay Mr. Obama's message and his thinking and potential for leadership and even what was an encouraging speech, even if it was not rousing.
But on the issue of cars and fuels and climate change, I hope he changes.
A Little Bit of Cycling
This pre-Labor Day Friday is slow for many people and moreso for me in my between-jobs state. I really don't have many places to go during the day beyond walking errands.
Again, my evening tai chi class requires a bike ride there and back. On yet another sterling evening, other cyclists are out on quiet Lincoln Avenue and cars give us all a wide berth without honking.
After class, I talk with some of my classmates for a while before I ride home without making any other stops.
I'm feeling good, a product of the rides and my class. This is my tangible reward for not driving.
My second hope for today:
I hope I'm doing some good for the planet.

Two days after his confessional news conference last week, Fox News political analyst Kirsten Powers penned a scorching denunciation of the New York rep that appeared on the Daily Beast. Weiner and Powers had dated briefly nine years ago, she wrote, but remained friends — to the extent that she gladly went on TV to defend him in the wake of that first naughty tweet, as the victim of a "hack." After realizing the extent of his lies, though, she declared in a column that "Weiner must resign from Congress immediately."
"The part of putting myself in it was difficult," Powers told us Thursday, just before Weiner stepped down. "I've never really disclosed much about my personal life. And I didn't want to be known as 'the girl who dated Anthony Weiner.' But I had to say something because of my own credibility, because I'd defended him so strenuously."
The "ex" angle was the essay's big hook ("I had to disclose it"), but Powers said her role was no different from that of many friends and allies who'd stood up for the congressman. Powers even defended Weiner, on Greta Van Susteren's Fox show, after Weiner confessed to the lewd tweet. But the liberal commentator says her support weakened when she went back to watch his combative, "completely self-righteous" interviews denying wrongdoing. She turned on him after reading excerpts of his exchanges with his Twitter pals.
"This is sexual harassment," Powers said, noting that some of the women initially just wanted to talk politics. "We don't think a congressman is a big deal, but for the average American, they're starstruck . . . This was not 'Anthony21' trolling the Internet; this was Congressman Weiner using his position and influence. You should be able to follow a congressman on Twitter and not expect this kind of behavior is going to happen."
Powers, who lives in the District with her husband, alluded in her essay to "issues" she thought her ex "needed to deal with." Hmmm. Specifically? "I thought he was reckless in his dating life." And Powers says she told him so. "I'd say, you don't know who these women are. You need to be more careful."
But that was years ago, in his single days, and even then it was nothing Powers worried would be a career-ender. "The one thing I thought he would never jeopardize is his job."

|The one-stop resource for the English language and more ...
Food and Drink
Tea has been an important drink in Great Britain for hundreds of years, and is drunk throughout the day in most British households. Last year the British population as a whole drank more than 200,000,000 cups of tea every day!
The "afternoon tea" often associated with the English first became popular around 1840. Legend has it that the Duchess of Bedford - one of Queen Victoria's Ladies in Waiting - came up with the idea of a late afternoon meal to overcome the "sinking feeling" she felt. The idea caught on, with Queen Victoria's enthusiastic support. Indeed, Queen Victoria, a notorious tea fanatic, was given to flinging her tea cup across the room if she found the tea not up to her standards! Afternoon tea is traditionally served around 4:00 p.m. This is a light meal - a satisfying "snack" between lunch and dinner - that will include scones, sandwiches (sometimes with the bread crusts trimmed away), biscuits, and assorted cakes.
The first tea imported into Great Britain in the 16th century was 'green'. But since the nineteenth century 'black' tea is by far the most widely drunk tea. The tea most suited to British tastes is grown in India or Ceylon (Sri Lanka).The most popular brand-name blends in Britain are: Tetley, PG Tips, and Brooke Bond. Whilst the highest quality blends are generally believed to be produced by the company 'Twinings'. Nowadays most people use tea-bags, but traditionalists still favour loose tea.
Making a proper cup of tea is easy. You need some loose black tea (of a blend of your choice), a teapot, and boiling hot water. A traditional British cup of tea is certain to have bits of tea leaves in the bottom of the cup. (These are the tealeaves that can be "read" to predict the future!) Here's how to make one:
Put one teaspoon of tea per cup (plus one extra for the pot!) into a warmed teapot. Fill with freshly boiled water and stir a few seconds with a tall spoon to "elevate" the tea. Allow the tea to steep for 2-5 minutes. The tea will get stronger (and perhaps more bitter) the longer it steeps. Stir again before pouring. Most Britons add milk to their tea. A habit which began when tea was thought to be bad for your health; so milk was added, in an attempt to make it "healthier". Hardly anyone adds lemon! Shortbread Biscuits make a wonderful accompliment to a cup of tea.
A tea from Assam, North-East India. Assam tea is full bodied with a rich and malty flavour. An invigorating drink that is ideal for the early morning. It takes milk and sugar nicely, if you so wish.
Known as the champagne of teas, Darjeeling is grown many thousands of feet above sea-level in the foot hills of the Himalayan mountains. Darjeeling is a very light and delicate tea characterised by a muscatel flavour. It is an ideal tea to drink with a large meal. Best without milk.
Ceylon Orange tea is delicate, light, and bright with a distinct flavour and a golden colour. It is perfect without milk or sugar and ideal for those who prefer light tea. A slice of lemon enhances the tea and is very refreshing.
English Breakfast tea should be a blend of Indian and Ceylon tea, and is a balanced and stronger full-bodied tea with an elegant flavour. Avoid any blends with China tea included as the tea will be bitter and not a genuine English breakfast blend.
The traditional English Afternoon tea is a blend of Darjeeling, Assam, and Ceylon teas. Although recommended mainly for afternoon or evenings, this is an excellent tea with a subtle fragrant flavour, appropriate at any time of the day. It is best taken without milk, but, is of course usaully drunk with milk in England!
Earl Grey is a blend of Indian and Ceylon teas, flavoured with the citrus oil of bergamot. It is the oil that gives the blend its characteristic 'scented' aroma and flavour. This is one of the most popular speciality teas and is usually an afternoon drink. Those that prefer a milder tea with less scent often drink 'Lady Grey' tea instead. Milk should NEVER be added to either blend.

Father and son Keith and Ken Daws stole the show at Lakeview Fishery last weekend with two great wins.
Keith won Saturday's Middy £4,000 qualifier to reach September's final after catching well all day. He landed skimmers, carp, F1s and the odd barbel for a total haul of 106lb 7oz, catching on maggot down the track and margins.
Bob Murray won the weekly Middy landing net prize, and Scott Robinson was this month's winner of the Middy 4GS rod.
Top five: 1 Keith Daws (LV Select) 106lb 7oz (peg 21), 2 Bob Greenbury (Drennan) 97lb 2oz (peg 5), 3 John Baker (Melton Ang) 94lb 13oz (peg 3), 4 Luke Bamford 87lb 1oz (peg 11), 5 Steve Haywood (Middy) 82lb 4oz (peg 23).
* Ken took centre stage at the Sunday Open match, winning with an excellent weight of 157lb 11oz off serpent peg nine.
The more sheltered lake of Serpent proved the more favourable on a gusty morning but four anglers topped the ton barrier.
Ken fished down the margins and track, feeding live maggot and using maggot on the hook to catch mainly carp and F1s.
Top five: 1 Ken Daws (Sensas) 157lb 11oz (serpent 9), 2 John Baker (Melton Ang) 122lb 15oz (serpent 14), 3 Danny Higgins (Woodhouse AC) 113lb 6oz (serpent 18), 4 Martin Almen (Melton Ang) 108lb (serpent 2), 5 Brian Greenbury (LV Select) 88lb 8oz (serpent 21).
* Having already qualified for the Middy final, Jamie Adcock was lucky to jump to first place at last Wednesday's qualifier with 113lb 10oz after Scott Robinson was knocked back on one his nets by 5lb 10oz, giving him 112lb.
Jamie caught mainly carp, a few barbel and F1s on pellet and maggot by fishing down the track and over.
Dean Wright, who finished sixth, qualified for the final with the top five all having previously qualified.
Top five: 1 Jamie Adcock 113lb 10oz (canal 27), 2 Scott Robinson (MillTackle) 112lb, 3 Mick Beckhurst (LV Select) 89lb 9oz (canal 14), 4 Rob Henrick 79lb 6oz (canal 12), 5 Sean Huggins (Drennan/Dyanmite) 79lb 2oz (marina 12).
* Results – Vets Saturday match: 1 Pete Sisson 36lb 15oz (river peg 20), 2 Ian Donaldson, 34lb 4oz (river 1), 3 Steve Beckhurst 33lb 3oz (river 17), 4 Roy Toulson 31lb 8oz (river 14), 5 Roger Holmes 27lb 13oz (river 8).
Vets Wednesday match: 1 John Cooke 58lb 12oz (serpent 2), 2 Gary Smith 43lb 12oz (serpent 9), 3 John Upton 31lb 12oz (serpent 14), 4 Roy Toulson 29lb 8oz (serpent 21), 5 Ian Donaldson 23lb 9oz (serpent 10).

One Bowl Brownies {VIDEO!}
Today, I present my little black dress of dessert recipes: One Bowl Brownies. Watch the step-by-step video below to see just how easy they are to make!
This brownie recipe is the product of a long, obsessive, chocolate-stained quest to find the perfect homemade fudge brownie recipe. This one is easy to make, dirties just one bowl and one spoon, and best of all, can be in your oven 15 minutes from now. In fact, I am so committed to these one-bowl brownies, I even made a new video about them!
Why I love these One Bowl Brownies:
- They're ultra soft and chewy.
- They're unapologetically fudgy and chocolaty.
- They're quick and easy to prepare—I don't know about you, but when I want a brownie, I want it five minutes ago. The last thing I need standing between myself and my dessert is complicated prep work or a pile of dirty mixing bowls.
- They're endlessly customizable. In fact, I've included 10 of my favorite one bowl brownie mix-ins and toppings at the end of this post, though to be honest, they are quite magnificent just as they are.
This one-bowl brownie recipe uses cocoa powder, which I've actually come to prefer over brownie recipes that call for solid chocolate. Cocoa brownies are softer and chewier than their solid chocolate counterparts, and cocoa powder actually has a more intense chocolate flavor too.
For the boxed-brownie fans in the audience, One Bowl Brownies with cocoa powder have a similar texture, but they taste better beyond compare, and I love knowing exactly what is in them too. As an added bonus, One Bowl Brownies also boast that elusive, shiny, crackly top layer—boxed brownie devotees, you know the one.
For those who swear by solid chocolate brownies and have yet to be convinced by cocoa, I'm begging you to give this recipe a go. If you don't believe it's fudgy enough, the giant handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the batter will convince you. Plus, did I mention there's only ONE bowl to wash versus the THREE that most solid chocolate brownie recipes require?
If I could only have one version of One Bowl Brownies for life, I'd choose the original with chocolate chips—they're classic, supremely satisfying, and make my brownie-loving heart go pitter-patter. Every now and then, however, it's fun to dig through my pantry and see what bits I have leftover to give the brownies a little extra pizzazz. Here are 10 of my favorites.
The BEST One Bowl Brownies, 10 Different Ways
#1-5: Mix ins (all of the below should be chopped first, then folded into the batter just before baking)
- Chocolate covered espresso beans
- Oreos (and all of their derivative flavors)
- You favorite candy bar (Reeses peanut butter cups, Rolos, and Snickers are all winners)
- Freeze-dried raspberries
- Andes mints (for you chocolate-mint lovers)
# 6-10: Toppings
- Caramel sauce (drizzle on after the brownies are baked. I swear by Deb's recipe.)
- Chopped pretzels (try combining with the caramel sauce above. Heaven.)
- Sea salt (also excellent when combined with either caramel or hot fudge.)
- Mini marshmallows and chopped graham crackers (sprinkle over the baked brownies, then place the brownies in the oven for 2-4 minutes, until the marshmallows melt. Ta-dah! S'more brownies.)
- This mocha cream cheese frosting
My current favorite one bowl brownie twist: Mix chopped pecans into the batter, then top with caramel sauce and crushed pretzels. It's salty-sweet seduction.
So, who else is baking brownies this weekend?
Recommended Tools to Make One Bowl Brownies
To see more recipe demos, check out my YouTube, and if there are other videos you'd like to see, let me know that too! I plan to film a few more over the next few months and would love your ideas. Thanks for watching and for supporting Well Plated here, on YouTube, and beyond. I owe you a hug…and a big, gooey pan of One Bowl Brownies.
One Bowl Brownies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter — (1 stick)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder — plus 2 tablespoon (Dutch process cocoa will yield an even more intense brownie)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour — or substitute all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips — or up to 2/3 cup of any desired mix-ins: nuts, peanut butter cups, chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans, or any of the ideas I've listed in the post above
Place a rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line the bottom and sides of an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium heat proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir periodically until the mixture is smooth, the butter is melted, and it feels quite hot (but not burning) to the touch. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and set aside until it is just warm. The mixture will appear gritty.
Stir in the espresso powder and vanilla. Then, stir in the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating after each. Continue stirring until the batter looks shiny, then add the flour and stir just until combined. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the batter for 40 rotations (strokes). Stir in chocolate chips or any other desired mix-ins.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smooth it into an even layer, then bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with just a few crumbs clinging to it (25 to 35 minutes). Let brownies cool completely on a wire rack. Using the parchment paper "handles", gently lift the brownies onto a cutting board. Slice into squares and enjoy.

hey girl love the video! This is right up my alley! I love chocolate!
Hi, these look delicious! By any chance is there a substitute for espresso powder if I don't have that on-hand? I'd love to try these this weekend but won't be able to get to a store by then. I totally understand if not. Thanks!
These brownies sound too good to be true!!! One bowl, also??? I NEED THEM!
Erin, love the video and LOVE the chocolate covered espresso beans in there!! what a great idea!!! OMG brownies, indeed!!!
I love your video, and these brownies look SO fudgy and absolutely delicious!! Love the espresso powder in there :)
I think I tried a similar recipe and it is GOOD but I still prefer the type with unsweetened chocolate (lazy me modified it to be one bowl), maybe I'll try these again though. I love the video and the mix in suggestions.
I wasted no time in making these. Within a few hours of receiving the post in my email, these delicious brownies were baking in my oven. I used Andes baking chips as my mix-in (omitting the chocolate chips), and the result was delicious! Thanks for an easy, scrumptious recipe.
Wonderful photos and a delicious looking recipe! Can't wait to try it :)
Nice video and a delicious recipe. Thank you.
I'm definitely feeling that mocha cream cheese frosting on top…sounds divine! Thanks for the inspiration!
Yum, these look so good, can't wait to make them…..
You have a beautiful kitchen and I love the video…..you did a great job Erin…..keep the videos' coming :)
HI Erin, I'd like to make these for my sister-in-law who was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. Do you have any idea if GF flour would work as a substitute? She has had to radically change her lifestyle, lives in Canada and is coming for a visit. I'd love to surprise her!
Hi Erin! I was wondering if you can swap the 1/2 cup butter for 1/2 cup coconut oil? My friend recently had a baby and her little boy is sensitive to milk so she can't eat any. Would you still need to heat it and everything? Thanks!
I made these tonight and added a chopped Hershey's bar to the batter along with a handful of dark chocolate chips. Served them with cookie dough ice cream for my own take on Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked – fabulous! Such a quick and easy recipe – will definitely be my go-to when the brownie craving strikes!
These turned out great! Thank you! I made them for a party tomorrow and wanted to know if you rec storing at room temp or in the fridge??
I wanted to make something from scratch but not too fussy for a coworker's birthday and chose these brownies. They turned out amazing! My first time making brownies from scratch. Everyone was very impressed, and I was told they tasted like a mix between brownies, truffles, and fudge. Perfect description and such an amazing treat!
This recipe has ruined me for every box mix brownie. It's just not the same once you have tasted the simple decadence of a homemade batch of brownies. Your recipe is the only one I make in my kitchen now!

Moshi 815m / 2670ft
Transfer from the airport to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha for overnight and briefing by your Professional Mountain guide.
Umbwe Gate to Umbwe Camp 1800m to 2800m 5900ft to 9200ft Hiking Time: 5-6 hours
Habitat: Rain Forest
Drive from Moshi to Umbwe Gate. Commence the climb through the rain forest with packed/picnic lunch on route. Dinner and overnight at Umbwe Cave at 2800 meters (9186 ft).
Umbwe Camp to Barranco Camp 2800m to 3900m 9200ft to 12,800ft Walking Time: 4-5 hours
Habitat: Heather and Moorland.
After breakfast, we leave the glades of the forest and follow an ascending path on the open moorland to the Barranco Hut located at 3900 meters (12,795 ft). Dinner and overnight at the campsite.
Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp 3860m to 4200m 12,700ft to 13,800ft Distance: 7 km
Hiking Time: 4 hours
Habitat: Alpine Desert
After breakfast, we leave Barranco and continue on a steep ridge passing the Barranco Wall, to the Karanga Valley campsite. Here we will have an evening walk to higher altitude acclitimazation, towards Barafu and come back to Karanga camp for dinner and overnight.
Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp 3860m to 4600m 12,700ft to 15,100ft Distance: 13km
Hiking Time: 8 hours
Habitat: Alpine Desert
After breakfast, we continue to the Barafu Hut at an altitude of 4600m. You will have completed the Southern Circuit, which offers views of the summit from many different angles. Here you will rest and get the last briefing from your professional guide before the summit night also you will have early dinner to give you enough time to rest. The two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo are to be seen from this position.
Barafu Camp to Summit to Mweka Hut 4600m to 5895m (and down to 3100m) 15,100ft to 19,300ft (and down to 10,200ft) Distance: 7km ascent / 21km descent
Hiking Time:6- 8 hours ascent / 7-8 hours descent
Habitat: Highland desert and ice-capped summit
Very early in the morning (midnight to 2am), we continue our way to the summit. You head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella Point (5685m / 18,652 ft), you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see (weather permitting). From Stella Point, you will encounter snow all they way on your 2-hour ascent to the summit. At Uhuru Peak, we have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa. Faster hikers will see the sunrise from the summit. It can be very cold at night at these elevations, but it will be quite warm by the end of the hiking day. You will want clothing for both extremes with you. From the summit, we now make our descent continuing straight down to the Mweka Hut camp site, stopping at Barafu for lunch. You will want gaiters and trekking poles for the loose gravel going down. Mweka Camp is situated in the upper forest and mist or rain can be expected in the late afternoon. Later in the evening, we enjoy our last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep. Beer and soda may be available for purchase at the Mweka Hut — the only location on this route.
Mweka Camp to Moshi 3100m to 1830m 10,200ft to 6000ft
Distance: 15 km
Hiking Time: 3-4 hours
Habitat: Forest
After breakfast, we continue the descent down to the Mweka Park Gate to receive your summit certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. Gaiters and trekking poles will help. Shorts and t-shirts will probably be plenty to wear (keep rain gear and warmer clothing handy). From the gate, continue another hour to Mweka Village. A vehicle will meet you at Mweka village to drive you back to hotel in Moshi. Don't forget to tip your guides and porters. It is time for celebration!
