Something my readers may have gathered over the life of my blog is that I enjoy a good pot of anything that can be served over fresh steamed rice and absolutely anything that can be made in just one pot.
My husband has recently helped me clean out my spice rack and cabinet, discarding old, discolored spices and emptying out containers of spices that I really don't have a use for so that we can fill them with the spice blends I have created or come across and use plenty of. Also a part of that process was mixing up more of the blends that we were running low on and use pretty much on a daily basis – among those was my bottle of Creole spice mix. I use it on everything! It is my go-to spice for oven baked french fries, a quick rub for a baked chicken breast on a lazy dinner evening – or when we are just tapped for dinner ideas, a little dash of it can be found going into pasta sauces and all sorts of other dishes but the one thing I hadn't actually used it for or made in over two years was a pot of jambalaya!
What kind of cook was I to love Emeril Lagasse's recipes and use his recipe for Creole seasoning but not actually make a pot of jambalaya? This was an oversight I intended to repair immediately. This day, Mei was happy to nap for a long time, after an extended afternoon playing at the soft-play center in the next village over and sharing a strawberries and cream frappucino with her mama, so dinner came together rather quickly after some prep while listening to some soul-lifting blues by the one and only, B.B. King!
The best thing about this is that all the ingredients wind up in the same pot and once you have everything sliced and diced, the work is nearly done – then impatience settles in as you wait for your pot to finish simmering all the ingredients together into a harmoniously, delicious dish! I did cut back on the heat, to the bare minimum since I knew that Mei would be sharing this meal with us and still, once it was done, there was quite a bit of heat left in your mouth so I put a splash of white vinegar and a little sprinkle of sugar over Mei's portion and it brought down the heat enough that she could manage without grabbing her tongue and crying through dinner.
The second best thing about this meal is that you can sneak all sorts of veggies into it, if you have picky eaters at your house and incorporate any other ingredients that you like but aren't listed. You simply can't go wrong! The only thing that would have made this better would have been a few links of andouille sausage, which is basically impossible to come across in Europe. If I had had the time to get some chorizo, I would have done that, but with Mei's palate still developing and tender, we went with a mild Italian sausage and it was still as delicious as ever!
One recipe makes plenty enough for three people to eat a few servings of and Tupperware enough for leftovers to take to work for the rest of the week! We were all happy to indulge the rest of the week in this meal and look forward to the next time we would make this dish (and it will probably be on a cold winter day, since the heat from the dish coupled with the heat of the evening was enough to get all of us into baths and showers before bed!).
Ingredients: adapted from Emeril Lagasse
- 1/4 C olive oil
- 1 lb medium size shrimp, peeled and deveined
- creole seasoning
- 2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
- 1-1/2 lb andouille sausage or other sausage, 1/2 in cubes or slices
- 2 C chopped onions
- 1 C chopped celery
- 1 C chopped bell pepper
- 2 TBS minced garlic
- 3 bay leaves
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1-1/2 TBS thyme (fresh or dried)
- 1 C chopped tomatoes
- 4 C chicken stock
- 2 C water
- 2 C rice
- 1 C chopped green onions
- 1/2 C chopped fresh parsley
In a large dutch oven, heat 2 TBS of olive oil over medium heat. Rub the shrimp and chicken with creole seasoning then saute until almost cooked through, about four minutes – cooking the shrimp first, then the chicken. Remove and set aside.
Brown the sausage then add the celery, bell pepper, garlic, bay leaves, cayenne & thyme and cook until wilted and sweating, about six minutes.
Add the tomatoes, water and stock then return the chicken to the pot. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper then simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the rice to the pot, stirring well to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes.
Then add the shrimp, green onions & parsley, stirring to combine and cook for another ten minutes or until the shrimp has heated through. Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for ten minutes before serving.

People Are Not Ready: Food and Gas Lines in New York/New Jersey
Nov 2nd, 2012 | By RhinoDocOver the last few years and even more so since Hurricane Katrina, those of us in the emergency response and management profession have pleading with the general public to be prepared, I have even gone past the FEMA recommendation of a 72 hour kit and tell people to have at least 14 days worth of food and water. Still, most people don't think disaster will strike them or that the government is coming to help. When I teach CERT classes or when I address people in public speeches, people will say to me "I do need to get my supplies ready" most never will. They'll go about their day, blissfully in denial about the ability of life to be transformed from idyllic to monstrous in the blink of an eye. And I live in earthquake country

An unknown suspect allegedly followed Resnick and also illegally entered her property to leave a threatening letter, police sources told TMZ.
The law enforcement insider also disclosed that no suspect had yet been identified, so police are taking extra patrols around Resnick's home.
Resnick frequently appears on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills due to her long friendship with Kyle Richards.
She was also famously caught up in the media furore surrounding OJ Simpson's murder trial in the 1990s due to her friendship with the late Nicole Brown Simpson.
The star later wrote a book about the case and posed for Playboy in 1997.

Yummy Link: Michelob Ultra Fruit Infused Beer
by POPSUGAR Food 11
Michelob has announced a new line of fruit infused beers. In theory I should love this, after all I love lambic and I love hard cider, but something about it bothers me. Like it seems like it's meant for kids, right? I guess I should wait and give it a try before deciding. After all, a lime cactus beer sounds like it could be pretty refreshing. - Slashfood

Yeah, but what does it taste like? I am not a beer drinker, I thought I would like the Michelob Michelada beer. I think they are called Cheladas or something. They tasted like regular beer to me. I prefer something that doesn't taste like beer! Heh heh
I am guessing that this is a product that is trying to compete with the fruit-flavored products that Bacardi and Smirnoff have now that are so popular. They are brewed too, so they are found where you can buy beer (some states have it separated where you can buy beer and wine)...
[must be exhausting to lose your own game]

Sounds good to me! I love Strawberry Wheat beer and Desperados, so this should be fun, too!
I'm going to have to try that Lime Cactus one with some chips and salsa, they do sound sweeter, so perhaps it will be a margarita replacement?!
Only part I'll be sad about is if I actually like them, and they go off market too fast.
When in doubt DANCE!!!
I saw the citrus michelob ultra, i think it was tangerine or something but anywho, and since i abhor the taste of beer but love all things fruity, i would be willing to buy this. if i hate it i can always give it to my fiancee since he likes michelob ultra way more than i ever possibly could, ,would, or admit, and i give myself bonus brownie points for remaining to be open-minded and trying new things!

Home is Where the X-Games Are
When one thinks of the Winter X-Games a few images come to mind; breath taking tricks, vibrant, young skiers and snowboarders decked out in colorful attire, great music, snow, 108,000 people and Aspen, Colorado.
However, as the ESPN Winter X-Games wrapped up this past winter, a question mark hung over Aspen/Snowmass' role in the future of the games. ESPN had opened the games up to bid in May of 2011. In recent years ESPN has sought to branch out the X-Games to a more worldwide audience. In addition to opening the games up to bid they have also decided to add additional X-Game competitions in venues throughout the world both in the winter and the summer.
Despite the questions surrounding the future of the X-Games in Aspen/Snowmass, the X-Game party this year was better than ever with record breaking attendance, unforgettable VIP parties, after-parties, Bud Light concerts and the not-to-matched Après ski scene, food and shopping of Aspen.
Meanwhile behind the festivities, both the Snowmass Village and Aspen communities pulled together to make their bid the most inviting in the world. Everyone from the Aspen City Council to the Snowmass town government, to city transportation authorities, and lodging associations within the area came together to ensure Aspen as the home to the X-Games
The hard work and fun have paid off, as the Aspen Times reported last week that Skico and ESPN have announced a two-year extension of the original contract, ensuring Aspen remains synonymous with X-Games for the foreseeable future. According to the Aspen Times the twenty-twelve winter games will also be held in Tignes, France; the summer games will be held in Los Angeles Brazil, Germany and Spain in keeping with ESPN's aspirations to expand their demographic.
For many in the community the X-Games have been a breath of fresh air within the community. Often perceived as an exclusive community, the X-Games has brought the fun and lighthearted side of Aspen to the attention of the world. While most of the audience is not the big spending tourist that Aspen/Snowmass typically attracts, the ESPN X-Games attract the young winter sports enthusiast. By hosting these guests now, Aspen and Snowmass Village will have established themselves in the mind of these consumers as fun, hip and exciting places to visit in the future, perhaps at a time in their life when they might have more disposable income.
Mayor Mick Ireland expressed his excitement to the Aspen Times saying, "It's more than we could ever expect, given the competition and desire for a worldwide venue." Both Ireland and the Aspen City Council attribute the success of the Skico bid to the community at large.
Of course Skico, and the larger Aspen/Snowmass community would love to see an indefinite contract, extending the X-Games/Aspen connection beyond the next two years.
John Rigney, Skico vice president of sales and events, told the Aspen Times, "We are definitely in it for the long haul," voicing the sentiment of most Aspenites. This deeper commitment will be proven to the world as a whole, ESPN, athletes and the X-Games fans over the next two years, reminding them – there really is no place better in all the world than Aspen and Snowmass Village, for the X-Games or really, anything else for that matter.

The Power of Four ~ Year Round
Late spring is a great time for locals to lace up their hiking boots and get out on the trails before the summer season sets in with full force. The snow on the trail has given way to wild flowers and bees, reminding everyone that the four mountains of Aspen and Snowmass Village have just as much power to offer hikers in the spring, summer and fall as it offered skiers and snowboarders during ski season.
Cathedral Lake is a charming hike that leads hikers up the walls of Castle Creek canyon and into the Pine Creek Canyon. Pine Creek follows hikers up all the way to the lake. Along the way aspen trees will give way to the higher elevation tundra landscape. For those with sharp eyes, wildlife, such as marmots, pikas and hawks can also be seen enjoying the fresh water and clean air of Cathedral Lake as well. This almost six-and-a-half mile hike is great day hike for a moderately experienced hiker.
The Crater Lake Trail offers hikers a splendid view of the Maroon Bells while winding hikers through to a shallow lake in the shadows of these imposing landmarks. The trail sets out from the edge of Maroon Lake and sends hikers up the valley walls. This trail is only 3.6 miles, but a steep climb mid-hike makes it an excellent workout with an iconic view.
Difficult Creek Trail's name offers hikers a warning not to take this hike too lightly. Although certainly a challenge it is one of the most beautiful hikes in the Aspen/Snowmass area. Full of foliage, scattered sunshine through the many leaves and even berries along the way, depending on the season, this trail is a sensory delight, rewarding those willing to take on the 4 mile hike.
The East Snowmass Creek Overlook Trail is only accessible by the ski lifts running in the summer months. As a result it offers hikers a double pleasure – a ride up and over their favorite runs from the winter and a great one and a half mile walk-about. After walking around Sam's Knob, the East Snowmass Canyon opens up before hikers displaying the wondrous beauty of the Rocky Mountains. This is a great hike to take out of town visitors on, not overly strenuous and exceptionally beautiful.
One of the most challenging day hikes in Snowmass Village is the four mile Hardscrabble and Williams Lakes Trail. This hike starts out right at tree line and leads hikers up the rugged, remote trail. Trails.com recommends hikers plan for a long morning or all day hike.
These are just a few of the many, many hikes winding themselves around the mountains of Aspen and Snowmass Village. There are trails and nature walks tucked in corners and nestled in valleys and canyons just waiting to be discovered by a new set of boots. Trails.com offers great ideas of where to get started, likewise many organizations and groups within Aspen and Snowmass offer guided tours and hikes. Take some time this month to get out on the trails and into the gorgeous Rocky Mountain sunshine.
With the fresh spring sun on your back, and the solitude of Nature all around you, let the power of four seduce you all over again!

Whitewater Adventure in Aspen/Snowmass
Each summer, on the Roaring Forks River, the Colorado or the Arkansas River, last year's winter snows make one final appearance offering recreators in the Snowmass Village and Aspen one more ride before the water heads down the mountain and out of the Rockies. Typically, the summer kayaking and rafting season has to wait for heavy snowmelt to pass before one can safely cast the kayak in and enjoy the water. However, this year's unseasonably mild winter and spring promises an exceptionally early and long kayaking season.
Every year the press announces with gusto the laundry list of awards and rankings that Aspen and Snowmass Village rake in for their ski resorts, spas and tennis clubs; however the great outdoors surrounding the towns is quietly garnered acclaim in its own right. Aspen/Snowmass.com states Aspen and Snowmass Village are among the top ten places in the country to kayak and river raft.
There are a variety of guided tour options in the area offering a wide range of white water experiences. Local rafting companies like Blazing Adventures and Aspen Whitewater Rafting offer rafting packages for beginners to expert rafters. In trips from a half-day to one day to multiple day trips, these companies offer experiences of a lifetime. Not only do they offer safe transport through the rapids and scenery only available to those willing to brave these rapids, they also offer their clients the opportunity to hike, rock climb, bike and camp along the shores of these magnificent rivers. Kids camps and family packages are available as well. Some adventures even include sunset dinners and babysitting.
Aspen Kayak & Sup (Stand Up Paddleboard) has created a kayaking school based in the Nature Preserve on the banks of the Roaring Fork River. The complete course at Aspen Kayak & Sup allows beginner kayakers to progressively advance from basic kayaking to more complicated and advanced paddling. Although this company has a twenty-year history of safely instructing kayakers, it is also open to new advances within the whitewater industry. Since 2003, when Aspen Kayak & Sup founder Charlie MacArthur, visited Fiji, he has offered stand up paddling courses. After experimenting with the concept in the white water context vs. the ocean, MacArthur was able to adapt technique and style to make stand up paddling possible for his customers. He has also made minor adjustments in the equipment, shorter, thicker, wider boards, to make it possible to stand up to paddle in the Rockies just as well as in the Pacific Ocean. Aspen Kayak & Sup offers kayaking summer camps for children, teens, and women as well. Guided tours can last anywhere from part of the day to multiple days, including delicious food and side trips along the beautiful local rivers of Aspen and Snowmass Village.

Spring the Season of Dreams
Spring is commonly accepted throughout the real estate industry as one of the hottest times to buy or sell a home. In Aspen and Snowmass Village this old standby proves itself true every year. Particularly this year as things in in Snowmass Village and Aspen get hotter and more desirable by the minute. Recently ranked as one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world, it looks as though the sky is the limit in Aspen.
For those in the Aspen and Snowmass Village looking to sell their current home, to purchase an even more luxurious and resplendent home in town or maybe nestled deeply into a large lot just down the road, there are a few things to keep in mind when preparing a house for a showing in the luxury market.
First and foremost, the old rules still apply. Even in the luxury market, the home must be decluttered. This advice applies to eclectic artwork that may not appeal to every buyer or is very specific to an individual. It also applies to family portraits and photographs. Leave room for potential buyers to picture themselves in the home as their own.
Pay attention to details ~ Buyers in this demographic want their home to meet a certain standard, inside and out make sure the house is clean, the landscaping is trimmed and ready. Some real estate experts recommend the placement of fresh flowers strategically throughout the house. A slight expense, however, flowers make the home look and feel fresh. They also add an extra 'je ne sais quoi' quality to the home.
The luxury market does sometimes require extra discretion. Due to the large quantities of money involved in these transactions, some sellers may wish to protect their identity. In these cases, a professional stager can be brought in to ensure that the home does not reveal the seller or provide hints about their lifestyle or occupation. Stagers are also excellent at ensuring the furnishings and artwork within the property are properly laid out to appeal to luxury buyers.
Be sure to communicate to your agent the upgrades, brand names and the quality of even the smallest details in your home. These details will be important during the negotiations of the offer. Likewise, those in the luxury market appreciate these extra details differentiating the home from anything else on the market.
For those interested in purchasing their first home in the luxury market, those upgrading or those purchasing a second home or investment property, be patient in your purchase. Particularly at this time of year many homes will be listing throughout the season. If the right house hasn't entered the market – it will soon.
In the luxury market it is not uncommon for homes to be unlisted, but still available for sale. Due to privacy concerns, some sellers keep their homes quietly for sale with their agent. If nothing on the market appeals to you, it is possible to ask your agent if they are aware of anything unlisted that might suit your needs.
Know what you want, and where there is room for compromise. Laws in Aspen and Snowmass Village limit future building, meaning it may be easier to purchase a home and update or remodel that it would be to build from scratch.
The last but most important tip in buying or selling a home or doing both, is to make sure your have a great real estate agent familiar with Snowmass Village, Aspen and the luxury real estate market. Greg Rulon and his team at Joshua & Co. have been selling homes and finding the perfect residents for their clients in the Snowmass/Aspen area since 1975. This team of real estate professionals will walk you through the ins and outs of the process, ensuring that all of your needs are met from start to finish.

Cast Your Line in Aspen and Snowmass Village
It's not always drifting snow, skiing, snowboarding and powder here in Aspen and Snowmass Village. In fact, this year's long, warm spring has turned many people in town toward their summer sport of choice a touch earlier than other years in recent memory.
This year the fly-fishing enthusiasts are the big winner after such a warm winter. Low run-off from the mountains allows fishermen and women to get in the rivers and lakes earlier to practice their sport without fear of high water and strong currents.
Unlike some summer sports, fly-fishing offers one the opportunity to truly get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and get back to nature. There is no more intimate way to connect with Nature than to pull on a pair of Gore-Tex waders and wade out into some of the most beautiful water one will ever see, much less experience. The Roaring Fork River and the Frying Pan River offer spectacular river views as well as some of the best trout fishing conditions in the country. Anglers far and wide are attracted to these waters. Smaller creeks like the Ivanhoe and Granite Creek are great fishing spots as well, particularly for those new to fly-fishing and looking to build confidence.
Typically, the water around Aspen and Snowmass Village is known for its brown and rainbow trout. Here trout is so healthy that size is measure not by inches as is common in other parts of the country, but rather in pounds.
For those new to the Aspen area, or new to the sport of fly-fishing, or both, a guided fly-fishing trip into the backcountry is a great way to see more of the area and to experience an entirely different aspect of the area. Particularly as Aspen and Snowmass Village have a great deal of private land, and special regulations, a fishing guide can ensure that you fish the best spots, with proper licenses, in complete compliance with the law. Additionally, their know-how, specified for this region, and the species present in the area makes catching that trophy fish easier than ever before.
The Aspen and Snowmass Village area is home to several gear shops and guided tour offices as well. Each company offers a wide variety in services and tours available. Everything from the family fishing trip, to group fishing to individual trips, one can fish part of the day, or all day. Some shops even offer overnight fishing opportunities as well. For the diehard fly-fisherman or woman, there are even winter fly fishing trips. Not quite sure about wading in the rivers while fishing? Float trips are also available making it easier to stay warm and dry while trying out the sport.
After splashing around the rivers and lakes in Pitkin County, it will be easy to see why the lucky few cast their lines here. Find the perfect place to rest your fishing pole in a condo, home or investment property in the Aspen and Snowmass Village area. Click here to see a few of the homes available today!
Mother Nature's Favorite Children
May is just around the corner, along with the sunshine, flowers and singing birds, come summer plans to get outdoors to enjoy everything Mother Nature has to offer. While no mother should have favorites, it seems that Snowmass Village and Aspen are certainly her preferred children; with extraordinarily beautiful springs every year and incredible views year round, Snowmass Village and Aspen are clearly her darlings.
Mild temperatures throughout the Rockies this year have brought early snowmelt and have enabled the population to get out to enjoy the beautiful spring season and the natural beauty of Aspen and Snowmass Village earlier than usual. The Aspen Times reported yesterday that the Maroon Creek Road will open today, the earliest opening day in 20 years. The roads are apparently clear of snow, but muddy. Likewise the trail is expected to be muddy with small patches of snow on it throughout. With that, the summer camping season has begun!
For those who love the great outdoors but lack the know-how or equipment to camp comfortably, the Aspen/Snowmass Company offers guided camping excursions in the area. Even the experienced camper seeking a more elegant camping experience might enjoy this service, as it allows one to sit back and take in Nature, while leaving the details up to the pros.
In and around the Aspen area there are a number of great campground choices quite close to town. Difficult Campground, despite its name, is just a quick four miles from town, offering both hiking and fishing. It has one of the earliest opening dates for its summer season, offering campers spots as early as May 15. Difficult Campground is located just on the banks of the Roaring Fork River and offers superb animal watching conditions.
Silver Bell Campground, located just off the Maroon Creek Road will open with the road, a full month ahead of schedule. Typically campers can't get into Silver Bell until May 22nd. This year, however, it is already easily reached by car and ready for its first 2012 visitors. Likewise, Silver Queen, just up the road from Silver Bell will be open, as well as the more remote Silver Bar campground. Hiking is a must in this spectacular area with the most iconic views of Aspen.
Slightly higher in elevation, Lincoln Creek is a more remote camping experience with fewer amenities. However, whatever it lacks in elegance, it certainly gains in view and atmosphere. Here fishing and hiking are both available, but space is limited – so hurry on up to this site early and claim your spot!
Even higher and slightly farther from town is the Lost Man campground. Fourteen and half miles from town and at an elevation of over ten thousand feet, Lost Man has fishing as well as hiking in the Hunter and Fryingpan wilderness areas. Not two miles away, the ghost town of Independence makes a fun and educational excursion for the whole family.
For those campers ready to take on the challenge all on their own, the White River National Forest Recreation website has a complete listing and description of campsites in the Aspen and Snowmass Village area.
This spring, get outside and see why locals truly believe Aspen and Snowmass Village are Mother Nature's favorite children. Once convinced, you can find your own little corner in paradise by clicking here to see homes, condos and investment properties in and around Aspen and Snowmass Village!

If you get a chance, send a few dozen get-well cards to Henry Miller's Theater, the new, handsomely renovated outpost of the Roundabout Theater Company empire. Flu season has arrived, and an especially mean virus appears to have attacked the cast of the revival of "Bye Bye Birdie," which opened Thursday night.
I don't think it's the swine flu that has flattened Robert Longbottom's production of this popular 1960 musical about rebel rock 'n' roll versus small-town America wholesomeness. The symptoms in this case include tin ear, loss of comic timing, uncontrollable jitters and a prickly disorientation that screams, "Where am I?" and "What am I doing?" Theatergoers may feel an empathetic urge to rush home and bury their heads in their pillows.
Clearly this is the sort of bug that could jeopardize the health of any red-blooded musical. For the silly, hokey "Bye Bye Birdie," a show that just wants to have fun and be tuneful, it proves close to fatal. Directed and choreographed by Mr. Longbottom ("Side Show") — with a cast led by John Stamos, Gina Gershon and Bill Irwin — "Bye Bye Birdie" may be the most painful example of misapplied talent on Broadway since the Roundabout's production of "Hedda Gabler," starring Mary-Louise Parker, last season.
Though long a favorite of high school theaters and summer stock, "Bye Bye Birdie" hasn't been revived on Broadway since its first production, which starred Dick Van Dyke and Chita Rivera. (A 1963 film featured Mr. Van Dyke and a sexually overcharged Ann-Margret as its teenage heroine.) Despite a catchy score by Charles Strouse, with blithely jokey lyrics by Lee Adams and a book to match by Michael Stewart, the show seemed square even when it first opened.
Its title character, Conrad Birdie (played here by Nolan Gerard Funk), may have been inspired by Elvis Presley and the clamor surrounding his being drafted into the Army.
But the show introduced Birdie and the electrified music he embodied only to renounce them. "Bye Bye Birdie" was always proudly old-fashioned at heart, promising that it was the happy book musical — and not rock 'n' roll — that was here to stay.
This makes "Birdie" a particular challenge for those hoping to sell it to New York theatergoers who have since embraced "Hair," "Rent," "Spring Awakening" and even "Billy Elliot." Send up "Birdie," and you kill its melodic friendliness; play it straight, and it just looks quaint.
Mr. Longbottom — who did admirably by "Side Show," the daring and difficult 1997 musical about Siamese twins — has lost his sense of direction in trying to chart a path between those extremes. Designed by Andrew Jackness (sets), Gregg Barnes (costumes) and Ken Billington (lighting), the show's shiny pastel (and willfully synthetic) appearance may be meant to capitalize on the currency of the hypnotically slick "Mad Men," the multi-award-winning television series set in the same era. (Incidentally, the film version of "Birdie" figures in this season of "Mad Men." What a hall of mirrors is American nostalgia.)
But the look and attitude of this "Birdie" — which follows the messy public-relations appearance of Conrad in a tidy little town called Sweet Apple, Ohio, just before he goes into the Army — are more evocative of an old Old Navy or Nick at Nite ad, the kind in which visual clichés of the late Eisenhower years were presented in stylistic quotation marks that rechilled yesteryear's cool. This sensibility is (or was) tasty enough in 30-second spots. But stretched over two hours it does not create a world that actors, trying to create even semi-real characters, can inhabit comfortably.
Consider, for example, that the different families of Sweet Apple are color-coded, dressed in largely identical styles with a different bright hue per clan. Is this a statement on the conformity of the period? Or a means of distinguishing largely interchangeable cast members? Or just campy interior decorating?
Whatever the reasons behind these aesthetic choices, the show also betrays them. Black-and-white photographic projections (by Howard Werner) of frenzied teenagers (like those seen in the Life magazine coverage of the first Beatles concerts in the United States) offer a jolting contrast to the willfully artificial whimsy onstage. And the show's leading performers are equally inconsistent in their approaches.
It's true that many of them present themselves as cartoons, animated by physical slapstick, but they're all from different comic books. As the mother-smothered Albert Peterson, the showbiz agent who manages Birdie's career, Mr. Stamos affects an adenoidal speaking voice and a clownish body language (perhaps meant to recall Mr. Van Dyke's) that make him seem the same age as Conrad's fans. (Jayne Houdyshell, an immensely likable actress, seems out of her element as Albert's dragon mom.)
This Albert, pencil-thin and skittish, is no match for his fed-up secretary and girlfriend, Rose Alvarez, played by the luscious Ms. Gershon. Bringing to mind the physical ripeness of Ava Gardner at her peak, Ms. Gershon also seems to share the lack of confidence in her part that Gardner often projected on screen.
Of course it's unfortunate that Mr. Stamos and Ms. Gershon, who carry the burden of some of the show's most hummable songs ("Put On a Happy Face," "An English Teacher," "Rosie"), tend to slide distractingly off key — not violently, but just enough to make you want to hit your ear.
They have more passable singing voices than Mr. Irwin, a dazzlingly talented big-time mime who in recent years has shifted successfully to serious dramatic parts (including last season's "Waiting for Godot"). Mr. Irwin plays Harry MacAfee, a Sweet Apple paterfamilias whose daughter, Kim (Allie Trimm), a Conrad Birdie Fan Club member, is selected to be kissed by her idol on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
This means that Mr. Irwin leads Kim and the rest of his family (Dee Hoty as his wife and Jake Evan Schwencke as his son) in the peerless satiric tribute to television worship, "Hymn for a Sunday Evening." This requires four-part harmony, and with Mr. Irwin participating, the results are not pretty. Perhaps to compensate, Mr. Irwin lapses into his familiar neo-vaudevillian shtick, trying on disconnected funny postures and voices that make you wonder if Dad hasn't gone psycho. (Watch out, Kim!)
Led by Ms. Trimm's Kim (more Hannah Montana than Sandra Dee), the chorus of high school students sing shrilly and dance anxiously. Strangely enough, Mr. Funk, who missed several previews because of tonsillitis, seems more at ease onstage than anybody else. Closer to a Back Street Boys alumnus than Elvis, he's not really right for the part. But he sings on key and appears to be enjoying himself. It's nice to think that somebody is.
Warmed-over apple pie and flat soda pop, anyone? That's the all-American snack being served in less-than-optimum form in "Bye Bye Birdie." The first Broadway revival of the 1960 musical ought to be a lot more fun. But Robert Longbottom's miscast, over-designed production rarely musters the energy or effervescence its riot of candy color and teenage hormones might suggest. The show retains its corny charms and a bunch of tuneful songs, which might be enough for undiscerning family audiences; others will struggle to identify much authentic flavor in its aggressive blandness.
The revival got a free plug when "Mad Men" this season featured a story arc fetishizing Ann-Margret's performance of the title song written for the 1963 movie. So what if A-M, then 22, was more sex kitten than blushing virgin as she scampered up and down an invisible treadmill against a blue screen? The sequence was, and is, a cool jolt of kinetic pop art in an otherwise pedestrian film.
That song has been added as the revival's closing number, and pop-art influences are all over Andrew Jackness' suffocating set. But Longbottom has made little effort to refresh the material beyond smirking at it, which makes "Bye Bye Birdie" now seem hokey and tame. Catchy as the score still is, the cute progenitor has been eclipsed by its way sassier 2002 descendant, "Hairspray."
On one hand, the schizophrenic 1960 show is the conventional bumpy love story of mama's boy music manager Albert Peterson (John Stamos) and his secretary, Rose (Gina Gershon), who's getting antsy waiting for him to untie the apron strings and tie the knot. On the other, it's a tale of teen hysteria and family values under siege, as Albert's client Conrad Birdie (Nolan Gerard Funk) descends on Sweet Apple, Ohio, to plant a farewell kiss on fan club member Kim MacAfee (Allie Trimm) before the drafted rock star gets packed off to the Army.
Longbottom has cast kids who look like kids in the teen roles, which adds some bounce. But the plotline about the hip-swiveling menace threatening to shred the fabric of conservative small-town life never had any teeth to begin with. They might puff on cigarettes and even talk about an orgy, but there's no doubt these cartoon teens will be happily back behind their picket fences before long.
Casting Funk, who's closer to Zac Efron/Jonas Brothers wholesomeness than the original Elvis model, doesn't do much to amp up the sense of subversive danger. But the performer and his pelvis at least are having a good time, and his infectious rockabilly intro, "Honestly Sincere," is one of the few numbers cooking on more than a low flame.
The center of the show, however, is the stuttering romance between Albert and Rose. Stamos and Gershon give it their best shot, and both are extremely likable performers, but they have minimal chemistry. Neither sings or dances with much confidence, and the effort shows, giving the musical a feeble heart.
Stamos looks sharp in Gregg Barnes' nerdy-chic skinny suits, sprinkling his performance with a little Dick Van Dyke, a little Jerry Lewis. But he's not quite there. Gershon looks sensational in everything but is too naturally sultry to fit the part. Smoldering "Spanish Rose" from the get-go, she seems like she would sooner eat Albert alive than sit around waiting for him to become "An English Teacher" and marry her.
Longbottom doubles as director-choreographer, but the populous production is light on big dance numbers, with only act two's "A Lot of Livin' to Do" mobilizing the ensemble to reasonable effect. In "The Telephone Hour," he tries a variation on the iconic original staging, swapping the Mondrian-like maze of stacked cubes and rectangles for movable booths in eye-popping shades, with garish color-coordinated costumes; the result is busy but lacks precision. Likewise Conrad's "One Last Kiss" on "The Ed Sullivan Show," which sticks with the over-complicated concept of presenting the MacAfees as an American family through history. It's a mess that pretty much kills a good song.
The director shows a firmer hand in more intimate numbers. Trimm makes sweet work of "How Lovely to Be a Woman" -- watching this kid with braces assume the airs of sophisticated womanhood is charming and funny. Also winning is "One Boy," with Trimm alongside Matt Doyle as her briefly forsaken steady, Hugo.
Though many in the preview crowd lapped up his mugging, Bill Irwin is a miss as Kim's uptight dad, Harry. Irwin appears to be performing in an unrelated production, layering on Buster Keaton clown tics, rubber-legged Donald O'Connor moves and fussy vocal affectations. Plus, he should never be encouraged to sing in public again. Ever. As Mrs. MacAfee, Dee Hoty is fine, if not required to do much except assume Donna Reed mode.
The show's bright spot is the invaluable Jayne Houdyshell as Albert's monstrous mother, an unapologetic bigot and champion of maternal martyrdom. Swooping around in a voluminous matronly fur and fretfully clutching at her handbag or handkerchief, she's the one person who hits the satirical mark and fully inhabits her comic characterization.

Texas Highways presents photographer-naturalist E. Dan Klepper's images of winter birds in the December 2010 issue. Following are details on the nesting habits of the winged wonders, and some fun facts on the Rio Grande Valley viewing spots Klepper includes in the story.
Buff-bellied Hummingbird
This emerald-green hummer likes to nest low, around five feet off the ground, and build nests that straddle droopy limbs or forks where they typically lay two tiny, white eggs.
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher likes forests and scrubland and prefers building nests along the edge of limbs, away from the trunk. The nest is cup-shaped and constructed from spider webs or caterpillar silk and covered with bits of bark and lichen. The bird uses different soft fibers like feathers or hair to line the nest and will lay up to a half-dozen pale blue eggs with tiny dark dots.
Northern Cardinal
Cardinals prefer to build nests in a dense tangle of foliage anywhere up to 15 feet above the ground. Nest site selection and material gathering appear to be cooperative activities between mates but the female typically does the actual building. The nest layers are comprised of twigs, leaves, and fine bark outside and grass and pine needles inside. The female will lay up to five eggs in variations of dirty gray, buff, or pale greenish with speckles of dull gray or brown.
Orange-crowned Warbler
The Orange-crowned Warbler species is actually divided into four subspecies, each with a slightly different color, length, molting pattern, and location. Texans will be most familiar with the subspecies they see in transit, usually later in the migratory season, from its boreal-nesting and breeding site in Canada. The Orange-crowned prefers thickets in winter, particularly the dense tangle of native thornscrub in South Texas. The bird is one of the most common wintering warblers in the state.
From the June 2012 issue.

OMG I'm in the weirdest mood.
I just wrote my ex boyfriend a note on myspace...FYI-I'm deleting my profile.
I hate this guy with true passion. He's done so many things to me that can not ever be forgiven for.
And yet...on top of it all...I have an "addiction" as my therapist once said, to him.
Anyway, he's not allowed to talk to me and yet I wrote him this:
" Hey kid.
It's been a while.
Just saying hi. I'm getting off myspace (probably delete it tonight or tomorrow if I ever get on again) and wanted to check up on you one last time.
It took a surprisingly long time to find geeze. lol.
Anyway, I read your blog (SOOO cute!), and I wanted to say-I'm so happy for you.
Honestly, when I came up on your page I expected a lot of bad emotions to come up. But for some reason, I feel calmer now than I have in a long time. So...thank you.
I really am happy for you. More than any words could ever describe. I just want to give someone a hug suddenly. lol. By the way, I checked out your girl's profile-she's soo pretty! You got yourself a hottie, good job! :)
Wow this is coming longer than intended. I guess I'll talk to you later...or well I guess not. Well maybe. If you do ever want to talk (not implying you do...don't worry, no pressure.)
my email is [---].
Have a great day/life.
Ps-update your pix! :)
Miss ya,

A fascinating chapter in recent American politics is coming to an end tonight, as Sarah Palin officially steps down as governor of Alaska. The question is: is she about to open a NEW chapter – with her plans to write books, speak out in favor of political candidates, and form a new center-right coalition?
Either way, tonight brings the kind of homespun theatre we've come to expect from the governor, complete with a Twitter message about the country music she's been listening to in her "camper full of kids & coffee." Our Norah O'Donnell is in Fairbanks tonight and will bring us the latest on what's next for Sarah Palin, and we'll talk all things politics with CNBC's John Harwood.
We'll also highlight the ongoing drought in Texas, which has gone from being a very serious situation to a critical one. Lakes and rivers are drying up and cattle are going thirsty. In some cases, water levels are so low, cars and motorcycles once dumped at the bottom are now at the top and being towed. NBC's Janet Shamlian brings us the pictures and tells us how long experts say the situation will last.
Finally, I don't know if you've noticed, but Hollywood has been incorporating the nation's weak economy, lately, into their storylines. From "30 Rock" to "The Simpsons," characters are dealing with the same hardships as everyday Americans. Has Hollywood finally "gotten real"? And what happened to the escapism it has typically provided in past downturns? NBC's Chris Jansing reports from Hollywood.
We hope you'll tune in and join us.

Jays fly by Devils Lake
Matt Stockert watched his Jamestown High School boys hockey team put on a scoring clinic at Devils Lake on Saturday.By: Chris Aarhus, The Jamestown Sun, The Jamestown Sun
Matt Stockert watched his Jamestown High School boys hockey team put on a scoring clinic at Devils Lake on Saturday.
Against Firebirds goalie Holden Kurtz who Stockert called "one of the best in the state," the Blue Jays scored at will, peppering Kurtz's net with 54 shots in an 8-3 victory.
"If he's on, it's hard to put it by him," Stockert said of Kurtz. "We made a few changes (on our lines) before Minot and they didn't click against Minot. But they started clicking against Century. I think (Saturday), overall, it was clicking."
The Blue Jays avenged a 4-2 loss to Devils Lake from Dec. 28 and showed a glimpse of the potential Stockert feels they have against quality competition. Devils Lake beat Minot earlier this season.
Stockert said the Jays dealt with another second-period lull, but it lasted only three minutes. They allowed two goals during that time frame, but came back with scores from Alex Williams and Jake Stilwell to equalize the setback.
"It was definitely a wake-up call," Stockert said. "We started going after pucks and winning races."
Stilwell had two goals and two assists, while Williams finished with two goals and an assist. Nick Watne, Anthony Cook, Jakobi Lux and Austin Rene found the net as well.
Jamestown goalie Tygh Yatskis stopped 21 of the 24 shots he faced.
"We got some real good goaltending out of Tygh," Stockert said. "He had a couple of really big saves. We've kind of been looking for Tygh to have a good game."
The Blue Jays will be no lower than a fifth seed in the West Region tournament in Minot in less than two weeks. They could leapfrog Bismarck High for fourth with wins over Mandan at home Tuesday and at Bismarck High on Thursday. They would also need Bottineau-Rugby to beat the Demons on Saturday in what will be a six-point game.

Okay, so Verizon Wireless (VZW) now will offer iPhone 4s to its customers on its 3G network. (The official launch date is February 10, 2011). What does this mean for content & collaboration professionals? A lot, as it turns out, as yet another brick is laid in the post-PC future.
Forrester customers can read the new report by my colleague Charles Golvin analyzing the impact on the industry and the consumer market. Here are some thoughts on what this deal means for the enterprise and for content and collaboration professionals. iPhone-on-VZW means:
Content & Collaboration professionals need to stop thinking about PCs as the design point for email, workspaces, conferencing, and social tools and start thinking about a world where employees expect and will use tools on any device, including personal smartphones and tablets. In this post-PC world, you and your software and cloud service providers will have to design the service experience for smartphones first, then consider how the service will be used and managed on tablets, work PCs, and home computers. The reason for this draconian shift in the design point is that we need first to overcome decades of muscle memory of designing for a Windows PC on a corporate network. We are so entrenched in this that it will be difficult to design for any device anywhere on any network. But design we must.
There's a lot to do to be ready for this world. Are you ready?
(Thanks to Charles Golvin, Ben Gray, Jeffrey Hammond, Brownlee Thomas, Christian Kane for help on this post and for being such great mobile analyst colleagues -- mobile will take a village, even inside Forrester!)
Agreed 100%. I'm thinking that most organizations have two years (?) to get ready for widespread tablet deployment, i.e. hardware, software, technical skills.
I was surprised to discover that the CDMA iPhone does not contain a multimode chip, which means it can only roam onto other CDMA networks and not onto W-CDMA networks such as those throughout Western Europe (including those operated by VZW's other parent, Vodafone). It's perplexing given that virtually of the carrier's top line business-oriented phones such as the Droid Pro and BlackBerry Bold are "World" phones that allow their owners to connect virtually anywhere in the world.
Granted, few Americans travel overseas, but for those business travelers who do the Verizon iPhone will be a tough sell. Verizon claims you will be able to use its iPhone in 40+ countries for voice and 20+ countries for data, but a minority of those data connections will be on EV-DO (its flavor of mobile broadband). In contrast, AT&T claims 220+ voice roaming partner countries and 200+ for data.
Given that choosing multimode translates to a higher bill of materials, it seems most likely to me that Verizon decided that the iPhone is primarily for consumers and wasn't willing to pay the premium needed to offer global roaming. In addition, as I've said, Verizon's strategic commitment is to Droid so it makes sense they'd prefer to present phones like the Droid Pro as the preferred option for its world-traveling business customers.

LITCHFIELD — It's always the hill.
Litchfield Hills Road Race winners Simon Ndirangu from Kenya and Malika Mejdoub from Morocco ran in small packs just off the pace behind male and female leaders for much of the 7.04-mile course Sunday afternoon.
Then, each of them struck, on the long steep agony of Gallows Hill, in the final mile before the final corner and the gentle down-slope to the finish line by Litchfield's town green.
Ndirangu used the hill to win decisively over countrymen Samuel Ndereba and Henry Rutto after Rutto led the entire race until the base of the hill.
Women's runner-up, Ethiopian Hirut Beyene, still battled Mejdoub in the final downhill, but Gallows Hill struck down her final kick before it started.
Rutto broke out of the pack of more than 1,000 runners immediately after the race's first turn from the green onto Meadow Street.
Sprinting through the first mile in 4:18, Rutto had a 50-yard lead over a pack of seven other runners, including Ndirangu, at the start of the second mile (9:12), winding past St. Anthony Cemetery and the sharp turn onto Plumb Hill Road.
The trailing pack shrank to six runners in mile three (13:53), down the path past the Litchfield High School athletic fields. The gap closed to 10 yards on Rutto.
Rutto was back in the pack, then shot out to a 20-yard lead again in mile four, 18:58, through the White Memorial woods. Continued...
Just three runners — Ndirangu, Ugandan Harbert Okuti and Kenyan Samuel Ndereba — trailed Rutto at the head of mile five (23:45), doubling back on White Woods Road, past "mere mortals," as one reporter put it, running the other way.
Mile six is where Gallows Hill separates mortals, even among the running gods.
"When you are running," said Ndirangu in a lilting accent, "the sun is very hot. You must keep some energy, so, when we approach the hill, you can see how strong you are."
Sunday's race was Ndirangu's first Litchfield Hills, but he studied the course. By the time he reached the bottom of Gallow's Hill, "I was very sure I would win," he said.
Ndirangu ate the hill and the three runners with him. By the time he turned the final corner at the top of Gallow's Lane, he ran alone. His winning time, 34:20.8, was well off the course record 33:21, but seven seconds ahead of Ndereba.
Mejdoub's winning time for the women's crown was 41:17.8 (the course record is 38:27), but she had company. Beyene, 41:20.9, was on her shoulder down the final stretch.
Still, the hill had done its work.
"I started out too fast in the beginning and I paid for it in the end," said Beyene through an interpreter.
Similar to the men's race, four women jockeyed back and forth through much of the course.
Mejdoub, veteran of four Litchfield Hills Road Races and winner of one previous Litchfield crown (2010), focused on the final hill. Continued...
"I always put this race on my schedule," said Mejdoub, who will represent her country in the Olympic mile in London.
"The last hill is very special; you have to use your mind," she said. "At the end, I know I have to be strong."
Kevin Curley, a Morris resident who ran for Shepaug in his high school days, was the first Northwest Corner runner, finishing 10th overall in 38:53.6.
Anna Haines, Woodbury, was the first Northwest Corner female, 114th overall, 49:25.8.
Eleven-year-old Lane Maher, from Harwinton, won the 2.3-mile 11-13 race that preceded the main event.
Litchfield's Lauren Johnston, 12, was the first girl across the line.
Seventy-nine kids ran the race.
