By Michael Traversa
Note: This is a review of Night 2 from the front row.
So The Monster Tour finally opened with two sold out shows at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. It all starts with a short film that depicts Eminem as a modern Hannibal Lecter and Rihanna as the savior coming to his rescue. When the two finally appear on stage, lifted up by two moving platforms, Eminem is still tied up to an hospital bed. Yup, you know this. When those two came together for a massive stadium tour I just knew there will be humor and irony along with the music. Eminem in particular is a master of sarcasm. Friday night he even recited a whole monologue from the movie Superbad, which was hilarious.
In the beginning they go through some of the songs that features more than one voice on the track (Numb, No Love) followed by the most obvious choice for starter aimed at inciting the crowd: (we are gonna) Run this town (tonight)! Then the show appears to be divided into two clear blocks, a full show from each, with a few forays into each others. Basically Rihanna's show followed pretty much the setlist of her Diamonds World Tour. And unfortunately it suffers from the same problems I pointed out for the Diamonds tour back then: only snippets of many favorite hits, too much use of backing tracks for the chorus, heavy on the hip hop tracks from Unapologetic, while other songs from the same album are better. For various reasons (Pasadena's curfew? Better show flow?) she eliminated three songs from night 1, among those Man Down which is one of my ultimate favorites. In fact I'll go as far as saying that she should make a whole reggae record, more in synch with traditional music of the Barbados. One of those songs was replaced by Only Girl, which she did not perform on night 1. In the final count it comes down to two songs difference and one substitute.
Rihanna seemed confident, seductive and held everybody's attention in the palm of her hand. She appeared playful and happy to sing on every song, despite some criticism. I can see how somebody from afar may think of lip synching. Both Rihanna and Eminem sang live but, especially in Rihanna's case, there was a heavy use of backing tracks. When it's her voice on the chorus coming out of a backing track, (something that a backup singer could do instead), it produces a strange effect. When she pulls the mike away to let the people sing, her voice can still be heard. This is something that unfortunately started with the last tour, but she is still singing all the verses live.
The highlights were obviously the joint performances and it was remarkable how Love The Way You Lie Part II and the original were blended seamlessly into one so to pass the baton from one act to the other. I suspect Eminem did his average setlist from his latest tour as well. Eminem is a riot, he is like a crazy ball, never still in one spot, he keeps jumping left and right. He too played along his image, attacking the songs aggressively, and joking in the more ironic ones, especially the early hits of the first LP. Well Mr Mathers, you are a Rap God. Funny how his hype man Mr Porter pointed out at wasted people in the front to which Mr Mathers replied, "Just because I can't do drugs doesn't mean you can't". Also in the case of Eminem I didn't like some songs being truncated. In Stan, for example, he cut out the whole final verse (the part where Stan drives off the cliff and Shady's response to the letter). Nevertheless it sounded even more haunting with Rihanna on the chorus. The choice of Airplanes over Lighters was odd, since neither one of them penned the song, but I guess Eminem's verse on the second version of the tune was enough to grant a spot in the setlist.
The bottom line is whenever they shared the stage the monster came alive. In the end they alternated their most influential hits (We found love, Lose yourself) leading into the titular song, complete of fireworks and flipping the bird.

FAN MAIL FRIDAYS: Why Is The Nose Sometimes Darker Than The Rest Of The Face?
Hi Ms. Martha,I'm an avid reader of yours and I'm so glad to have met you in person during Ms. Liz's event.
Anyway, I have a darker nose complexion than my whole face. It started way back in high school. I just noticed it when one of my classmates asked why my nose is a bit darker than my face. What caused that and what can I do with it? Thank you.
Hey Aby,

Cool~ My chin and nose are a bit darker than the rest of my face but I didn't even think of my nose being a prominent area because it's well, not tall XDReplyDelete
mine is reddish =( after reading this i immediately look on my nose (haha)ReplyDelete
it is also one of my concerns (aside from being pango hehe) is my white heads and blackheads on it.. now im dealing with dark spots
thanks for the info. i have big pores my whiteheads and blackheads is visible tlaga even i exfoliate. 😔ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 28, 2015 at 8:45 AM
Super thank you Ms. Martha! Now I know why that happened. Medyo matangos nose ko, and di pala advantageous yun at times, especially sa skin tone. :) My nose pa naman is the one I care the least. Glad I don't have large pores naman, so it didn't aggravate the darkness of my nose. Thanks for the tips! I'll do them all, especially the sunscreen and exfoliation. Akala ko before just applying the same amount of sunscreen would do the trick already. Thanks again for the answer Ms. Martha!ReplyDelete
I think my nose tends to get red after sun exposure. Unfortunately, it's also the place where my foundation/BB cream first starts to come off. I sometimes look like Rudolph The Red-Nosed Raindeer tuloy. Luckily, it's nothing a dot of concealer and a few pats of powder can't fix.ReplyDelete
Stacie: My nose is not tall too, but apparently, it's still the first thing that UV rays hit once you go out in the sun! :DReplyDelete
Abegaill: You're welcome. :)
Hanna: Oh, me too. Some people are just predisposed to it, I guess. :p
Rhain: The nose is the most vulnerable part to redness too, fyi. :)
Matromao: Thank God for makeup, right? :D

The Housing Market Is a Real Nightmare!
First, did you know that someone had a house built whose exterior is a dead-ringer for Disneyland's Haunted Mansion? Well they did, and it's up for sale.
The house, originally built in 1996, is located in Duluth, Georgia, and was designed by a Disney contractor. Here's a pic:
Am I the only Haunted Mansion fan that was completely unaware this place existed? Now where's that $800,000 I had lying around...
Anyhoo, next on the market is a cozy little Colonial with a great lakeside view. With its black-goop toilets, bleeding walls and rickety staircase, it's a.... handyman's dream!
That's right, the original Amityville Horror house is back on the market! Considering the house's troubled history, the realtor may have to hustle a bit to close this sale (they've already had to drop the asking price by $100K).
Which reminds me (sequeway...) of a skit from a 1980 Steve Martin television special in which Martin buys a haunted house. The program was called Comedy Is Not Pretty, a collection of sketch comedy bits by then hot-as-lava Martin (his album of the same name was a hit the previous year).
One memorable sketch (so memorable, in fact, that I actually memorized it as a kid, although repeated plays of the audio from my open-air tape recording of the broadcast probably helped) has Martin playing new homeowner Arthur Fleschman, bragging about what a great deal he landed.
But it quickly becomes clear why the house was such a bargain. While Martin is talking up the property, a demonic voice booms from within the house, "Get out! Get out!" (a direct reference to The Amityville Horror, which was still very much an element of the popular culture at the time.) Seems this house is haunted!
Martin concedes there are just a few things wrong with the house: "That step on the back porch needs to be fixed. We're getting estimates on stopping the walls from bleeding."
Other drawbacks? The house causes their pet cats to talk, grandma melts at the dinner table, and the kids sometimes turn into bats. Nothing a few trips to Home Depot wouldn't fix, no doubt.
Meanwhile, as Martin talks, his wife screams out an upper window before being tossed off the roof by a gorilla (although I must admit, even as a kid, I never did understand how gorillas became a stock haunted-house element. Is The Murders In the Rue Morgue to blame?)
I've heard of being upside-down on your mortgage but--- (okay, maybe I should leave the comedy to Martin).
The whole skit is played strictly for laughs, and yet witnessing this as a gradeschooler I couldn't help but feel the slight twinge of fear as Martin casually strolls into the house, completely oblivious to the hellfire lapping at the windows (and to the corpse of his wife, laid out in the yard!)
The sound effects playing over the background, a mix of wind, creaking trees and thunder, is a track ripped directly from the Disney sound effect record Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House (the same effects are used on The Story and Song from The Haunted Mansion.) The track is called The Haunted House, and the long out-of-print album is available for download on I-Tunes.
The special Comedy Is Not Pretty was finally released to DVD recently as part of a 3-disc collection of Martin's television work, appropriately titled Steve Martin: The Television Stuff.

I have SEEN this Steve Martin special! And since I must've seen it on tv at some point, I'm feeling a little old ;)

One thing about the gorilla -- that's a stock element of the "dark house mystery", which is closely related to haunted houses.
It's well wormed into the subconscious for ghosts and ghouls; Ghost Busters (the Saturday morning one) had a gorilla, and Larry "Lost Skeleton" Blamire's Dark and Stormy Night (a old dark house riff) had Bob Burns back as a gorilla there.
Brother Bill, recheck your The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow post, I left you a special message there.

Brian Barnes,
Right, I agree. But what originated it? If not Murders In the Rue Morgue, is it perhaps a reamnant from the Victorian era, when sensational stories of wild animal attacks, loosed in the city after having escaped from a circus or zoo, were a staple of the penny dreadful?

When I was doing research for my two Savagnin posts, I discovered that Savagnin is also known as Traminer and that Gewürztraminer is a mutation of a pink-skinned mutation of Traminer known as Roter Traminer. In yesterday's post on Malvasia Nera, we talked a little bit about the fact that almost all grapes that are cultivated for wine are not actually a single grape, but rather a number of grapes that have mutated to various extents, but which are all genetically similar enough that we consider them to belong to a single family that, usually, ends up marching under a single grape-name's banner. There isn't really a single Cabernet Sauvignon grape, for example, but rather a variety of clonal variants that have differences in leaf shape, cluster morphology and climactic tolerances, but which all share enough similar DNA that we can consider them as a single grape. Further, the wines produced from these clones are similar enough to one another that we have no problem thinking about all of them under a single heading and group them all as "Cabernet Sauvignon" without any real mental anguish about the whole thing.
Some grapes, like Pinot Noir, mutate a lot and there are a lot of clonal variants available. There are fierce arguments between Pinot Noir growers and wine drinkers about the relative merits and demerits of different clones both in a general sense and in more terroir specific situations. Noted ampelographer Pierre Galet has indicated that there are at least 50 clones of Pinot Noir that are approved for use in France, as opposed to only about 25 for Cabernet Sauvignon, and it is thought that poor clonal selection may have contributed to the lackluster wines coming out of Burgundy in the 1970's and 80's. Some of the clonal variants produced very large crops, but the quality of the juice and, by extension, of the wine was considered to be much inferior to other clones which did not produce as prolifically, but which made a higher quality wine.
Which brings up an interesting question for me: at what point has a vine differentiated itself enough from the original plant to be considered a new variety? As mentioned in yesterday's post, the skin color of the grape seems to be an automatic factor, as we have no trouble conceptualizing Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir as separate grapes, even though their DNA is so closely matched as to be nearly identical to one another. Red grapes, white grapes and pink grapes are very different visually and make very different wines, so there's no real controversy with setting that as a determining factor. The case for differentiating Pinot Meunier is a little more complicated, as you can read about in my post on that grape here. The mutation that caused Pinot Meunier was severe and it resulted in a chimerical plant whose genetic code is easily differentiated from the original Pinot Noir, even though the only real tell-tale sign at the macroscopic level is a downy coating on the leaves. Though I'm sure a very experienced taster could do it, I would have an incredibly hard time differentiating between wines made from Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir in a blind tasting environment. For Meunier, the case for differentiation is more subtle than for the other Pinot family members, but the difference is observable at least at a microscopic level.
But we're not here to discuss the different limbs on the Pinot family tree, but rather to take a look at a family with a similar history, the Traminer famly. Like the Pinot family, the Traminer family is very old and has been subject to a number of mutations throughout its history. It is unclear which member of the Traminer family came first, but the smart money seems to be on White Traminer (Savagnin), as it has the largest number of clonal variants, which is usually an indication of a long history of cultivation. The family is named for the village of Tramin in the Südtirol region of Trentino-Alto Adige in northern Italy, where the grape is thought to have originated. It is thought to have moved north to Austria and Germany where, at some point, one of the vines mutated into a pink-skinned grape that came to be known as Roter Traminer, or "red traminer." Later, this Roter Traminer mutated yet again, but this time the mutation didn't affect the color of the grape, but rather its aroma and taste profile. Mutations like this are not unheard of and the specific name for them is a musqué mutation.
And here is where the confusion sets in. All three of the major Traminer mutations are cultivated to some extent, but in Germany and Austria, the name on the bottle is no real help as to what is actually inside. In the German speaking countries, white Traminer is simply called Weisser Traminer, unless you are in the Styria region of Austria where it is known as Gelber Traminer (which is, confusingly, also a synonym for Gewürztraminer in other regions of Austria), while in France, Savagnin is generally the accepted nomenclature. It's with Roter Traminer and Gewürztraminer that the fun really starts, because in Germany and Austria, the members of the Traminer family are only differentiated by skin color so Roter Traminer and Gewürztraminer are considered to be the same grape. The VIVC, which I use a lot to tease these puzzles out, is based in Germany and follows the same convention, considering the two grapes to be identical. As a result, if you buy a bottle from Austria or Germany labeled Roter Traminer, you won't be able to tell whether what is in the bottle is Gewürztraminer or Roter Traminer. The French do differentiate between the two grapes, using the Gewürztraminer name for the musqué most of the time, though occasionally using Savagnin Rosé Aromatique, and using the Savagnin Rosé or Klevener de Heiligenstein (in Alsace) names for Roter Traminer.
So we have a conundrum. Is the musqué mutation a significant enough change to consider Roter Traminer and Gewürztraminer as two different grapes, or should Gewürztraminer merely be considered a clonal variant of Roter Traminer? The French seem to favor the former approach, while the Germans and Austrians seem to prefer the latter. If our sole criteria is skin color, then we would have to follow the German approach, as Roter Traminer and Gewürztraminer have the same pinkish skin color. I have to say that this approach seems to be lacking, as it feels to me that if the wines made from each of the clonal variants are profoundly distinctive from one another, as seems to be the case here, then we should consider the grapes separately and individually. The problem with that stance is that it's a slippery slope, and it may be difficult in some cases to tell what counts as profoundly distinctive. The Brunello clone of Sangiovese is a good example, as it makes wines that are distinctive from other Sangiovese based wines, but it may be overstating the case to call them profoundly distinctive.
Curtis Liquors for about $30 and bought it hoping that it would be made from the non-musqué version of the grape. In the glass, the wine was a medium lemon gold color with some greenish tints. As I lowered my nose into the glass, I knew immediately that what I had was undoubtedly Gewürztraminer. The nose was very aromatic and flowery with rose petals, ripe peaches and honey. On the palate the wine was on the fuller side of medium with medium acidity and a bit of residual sugar. There were flavors of juicy, ripe peaches with honey and honeysuckle flower and a bitter rose petal kind of flavor on the finish. Given that the wine was 8 years old, it was still very fresh and alive, which is a little unusual in my experience, as Gewürztraminer based wines tend to fall apart fairly quickly. I tried my hardest to believe that it was plain old Roter Traminer and not Gewürztraminer, but there really is no denying the distinctive aroma profile. I enjoyed this wine a lot and though it was a little on the pricey side, it was very well made and had a lot of complexity to it. I hope one day to cross paths with a non-musqué Roter Traminer based wine for comparison's sake, and when I do, I'll still have a lot of things to think about.
I guess a question that some readers may have is whether the distinction is really even that important. It's certainly important to me because the scope of this blog is laid out in a particular way and the exact grape or grapes that comprise a bottle of wine matter because it's a big part of how I determine what wines I'm going to discuss here. But does it matter in a more general sense? There's an anecdote about the late Joe Dressner of Louis/Dressner imports in which someone asks him exactly how much Grenache is used in a particular bottle and his response was "however much you want there to be." The implication, of course, is that it hardly matters in a general sense what grapes are used to make the wine so long as the wine is good. Which is true, of course, to an extent. Is it really relevant how much Cabernet Sauvignon or Petit Verdot is in a bottle of Chateau Latour? The wine stands or falls based on how good it is, and knowing the exact proportions of the blend is kind of irrelevant in deciding whether or not you enjoy the wine.
This isn't always the case, though, since you are not always afforded an opportunity to taste a wine before you buy it. If you are a big fan of Grenache but don't like Syrah or Mourvedre (for whatever reason), knowing the proportions of the blend can help you decide whether you want to invest the money in trying a bottle you've not had before. It gets even more important with varietally bottled wines, as the sole basis of your decision may be the name of the grape on the label. I am always a fan of having as much information as possible on the bottle so that the consumer has as much information as he or she needs to make a decision on a purchase. In this particular case, I don't know what Roter Traminer tastes like, but from what I've read, it's very different from Gewürztraminer and I do know that there are a lot of people who are not fans of Gewürztraminer's explosive perfume and somewhat bitter flavor. Those consumers, even if they are very knowledgeable, may find themselves in the position of having to take a guess, as I did, and they may not be happy with the results. Yes, there is always the option of talking to the seller, but in cases like this, it isn't always clear even to the very well informed staff member exactly what's in the bottle.
As mentioned above, I think that if there is a significant difference between how two different clonal variants taste and smell, there should be some distinction made so that the consumer can make a fully informed decision. As you can probably tell from this post and others on the site, I don't believe in too much information and am a big believer in precision not for its own sake but for the sake of aiding decision-making in making what can be a costly decision. We aim for this kind of precision, for better or for worse, in labeling many wines geographically, and I personally feel like the grape used to make the wine is as important as the piece of land where the grape was grown and would like to see the same kind of dedication to specificity employed in varietal labeling.

For Edmonton's purposes, "Regency" means early 1800s to 1820s, so you'll notice I've got a pretty wide range here :)
Whatever your level of interest in historical accuracy, here are some great resources that I've found helpful during my Regency events. You can do these yourself! For those that know me, a bun is the fanciest I can muster. I've found knowing my hair texture and it's possibilities helps. Whether you attempt these on your own or get someone else to have a go, I hope this helps!
First, your hair should be up. A simple bun will get you pretty far!
|1797 Journal des Luxus und der Moden
One of the things I love about this image is that you get a great side view! It's a simple bun with a few ribbons tied around the head and a few curly bangs. Simple, right?
You'll see many variations in Regency portraiture:
|Baronesse Mathieu de Favier, Marquise de Jaucourt by François-Pascal-Simon Gérard, called Baron Gérard (auctioned by Christie's). Napoléonic Baroness de Favier wears a dress with a criss-cross bodice filled in with a modesty piece
|Okay, I know this is a group of modern interpretations, but they are recognizable references for most :)
|Firmin Massot (Genève, 1766 – Genève, 1849) Portrait de Madame Jean-Gabriel Eynard, née Anne Charlotte Adélaïde Lullin de Châteauvieux (1793-1868), dite Anna Lullin, vers 1810 Huile sur toile Copyright: MAH, photo: B. Jacot-Descombes Inv. 1996-1
|Jean-Pierre de Saint-Ours Portrait of a Young Woman Early 19th century
You'll notice that when the front is parted, it is parted in the centre of the head. If you have bangs, curl 'em. If you don't, you could add a few faux curl pieces to the front. This tutorial from Kosha the Cat is super helpful if you want to go that route. Sally Beauty has lots of varieties of hair lengths, but I'd advise shorter ones where possible. Too long and they get crazy. Also, a tip: DON'T try and curl your hair pieces the day of the event! Give yourself time. Depending on the type of hair you get it could need quite a bit of heat or to be soaked in boiling water.
If you don't have or want bangs...
BRAIDS! I've often seen a mix of curls and braids, or just plain braids. I'm sure that's a response to the fact that some peoples' hair just doesn't curl! Note that most braids are NOT French braids. They are simple strands braided. Especially helpful if you have crazy long or thick hair (like me) and a bun just can't hold it all. I like to braid a few side pieces and wrap them around my bun, as above.
Here's another tutorial, though this lady has VERY long hair: https://youtu.be/bQXu9enBrK0
OR, if you're feeling uber fancy: https://youtu.be/jGpJOSem5gE
You'll see a lot of Grecian influence in Regency styles. See the top right one? VERY short hair in the 'Titus' style. If you've got something like a pixie cut, you're set! It wasn't overly common, but it does appear from time to time in original images.
|Directoire 1795-1799

I hope this helps you prep for the ball! All my images and a few extra can be found on my Pinterest page here.
If this tutorial is helpful do let me know in the comments. I'd love to do more on accessories and silhouette.

This is a superb extender which works flawlessly with the Canon prime telephoto and super telephoto lenses. I bought it to supplement my Canon 300 mm f/2.8 IS II lens to give me an effective 600 mm f/5.6. The combination is light enough to hand hold and WAY cheaper than the 600 mm f/4 prime alternative offered by Canon. I am extremely pleased with the extender; I honestly can't see any degradation in the image quality when used with a Canon 5 d mk III body. Everything is corner to corner crisp and sharp and I see absolutely no sign of any contrast reduction in the images. It will also work very well with the popular 70-200 f/2.8 IS II although there is a very slight reduction in sharpness at the 70 mm end of this lens combination; the 200 mm end image quality is extremely good. If you own any of the Canon "big white" prime telephoto lenses, this is definitely a worthwhile accessory.
Pros: Very cost effective way of increasing your telephoto reach. It's very light and compact.
Cons: Loss of two stops of light compared with the mated lens.

Er... yep... sorry... They are coming (as is Xmas) but I've had a hectic couple of weeks at work trying to wrap up some projects before Leslie and I take off overseas for a couple of months, and it's been hard to find time to do the edits. Even when I've had time I've been so knackered that I've made little headway.
However, progress is being made - not sure if I'll have the set up before Waitohu, but certainly before we leave.
Apologies for the delay but don't panic - it will happen ;-)

This was the last assignment for my forth course at Walden University. Below are questions that I had to answer for the assignment in week seven.
In what ways has this course helped you to develop your own technology skills as a professional teacher?
This course Understanding the Impact of Technology on Education, Work and Society at Walden University has helped me develop my own technology skills in many ways such as introducing me to RSS feeds, blogs, wiki's, and podcasting. If it had not had been for this class I would have never have developed the skills that will lead me into becoming a 21st century teacher. Yes, maybe I would have eventually learning theses various resources, but not a way to implement them into my classroom. Hopefully in the future I will be able to gain technology resources for my classroom so that my students can be driven into the 21st century.
In what ways have you deepened your knowledge of the teaching and learning process?
I have deepened my knowledge of the teaching and learning process by learning about what I do on a daily basis, which is student-centered learning. In my classroom I can give students ideas in which to create their art projects and then in turn they can develop them in a way that is meaningful to the student. Technology can be another means in which students can develop ways in which they can express ideas and show growth. Students can collaborate together using technology that can help prepare them for the 21st century skills that will be required when entering college and the workforce.
In what ways have you changed your perspective from being teacher-centered to learner-centered?
As a former student in middle school and high school I was not very focused or would just zone out in class when a teacher was lecturing and teaching. It was not until I went to college and found that things could be different when I took my visual art and art education classes. I feel that my teaching has always been somewhat student-centered. The time that my teaching is teacher-centered is when I have to give directions and demonstrations or verbally discipline my middle school art students when they get out of hand or too loud. This class has shown me to focus on my students in a way so that they have control of what is being created in my art class.
In what ways can you continue to expand your knowledge of learning, teaching, and leading with technology with the aim of increasing student achievement?
Some ways that I can expand my knowledge of learning, teaching, and leading with technology is to spread the word about technology within my district, learn all that I can about up and coming 21st century technologies, and educate myself continually through my experiences through Walden University and beyond. These examples will help my students achieve success. If I can obtain these goals they will make me become a better teacher and in turn make my students more successful in what I am responsible for them learning.
Set two long-term goals (within two years) for transforming your classroom environment by which you may have to overcome institutional or systemic obstacles in order to achieve them. How do you plan to accomplish these goals?
Goal #1My first long term goal would be to obtain ipads or laptops for my classroom. I have an art room that is in dire need of technology. We could do so much more if we just had the opportunity to have these tools for the classroom.
Goal #2My second long term goal would be to find a grant to help obtain goal #1 so that my students can experience what all other students across the county have and that is a 21st century art classroom. I am hoping my experiences through Walden University will help guide me to accomplish both of these goals because I know that my students would benefit most from these ideas and goals.
Refer to your checklist from Week 1. Have any of your answers changed after completing this course?
Developing Technology Skills for the School and Workplace Environments section of the checklist is where I had the most "rarely" answers, but through this course it have given me ways that I can inform myself and my coworkers on technology use in and out of the classroom. I now feel more confident then ever entering my classroom in the morning knowing that I can prepare my students for their future.

I made twice bake potatoes for Christmas Eve dinner a couple of weeks ago. When I bake the. In the oven should I put them in frozen or at room temp?
I think frozen would be fine - you might consider finishing them with a minute or two under the broiler to crisp them up a bit though.
Thank you Meaghan - and thanks for getting the question. I noticed after I typed it that it was a little unclear! I'll put them in straight from the freezer. Happy Holidays.
I suppose the trick is to keep the interiors moist without altering their texture, and also get the skins crispy. (!) If the taters have the oven to themselves (yeah, right) start them on low with a few drops of water and then hot oven or broil with a dab of butter on the skins...Let us know your results!
I ended up baking them covered with tin foil for about 45 minutes at 350. Then uncoverd, sprinkled more cheddar on top and cranked up the heat to 400 so it got melty and crisp! They came out perfect!! Moist, juicy, skin was tasty too!!! Thanks for the tips!
I love this idea. Potatoes always go on sale and I rarely use the large bags of them before the eyes start sprouting. This is a perfect way to prepare and freeze a large batch of potatoes.
Sam, check out Merrill's Baked Potatoes Stuffed With Broccoli and Cheddar on the splash page. It looks mighty good.
It was such a time saver the day of the dinner. Plus, I made a couple extra that I have left in the freezer, cause if you're making 4, you may as well make a few more for a last minute side dish on a busy weeknight! So, I am happy to say I have a few potatoes in the freezer still waiting for me!
Your question reminded me that I more or less lived on stuffed baked potatoes and baked lime chicken, cooked in quantity and frozen, when I was a medical student. Stuffed baked potatoes from Molly Katzen's The Enchanted Broccoli Foresy (great title, no?) and chicken recipe from childhood friend. Zapped them in microwave, I think, or ate them cold if no microwave. Thawed on the journey from apartment to school. Your plan sounds better. Glad I am finished w school for now. :)
Meg your note made me giggle! Oh to think about what we used to eat! It sounds to me like you ate pretty darn well!! Back in my day it was Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti and more spaghetti. I have never checked out that book of Molly's but I know all about it, I will need to look at it one day soon. I am glad that you are done with school for now too :) Happy New Year!
The things we ate in college. Yours was not bad. I remember lots of deli meat rolled up, dipped in mustard and sprinkled with pepper.
I still have my Enchanted Broccoli Forrest. I haven't used or even looked at it in years. I vaguely remember a mushroom soup.

While all the seasonings in this box are relatively simple to use, the end results are so authentic that your friends might think you took a job moonlighting at the local trattoria! Great for pasta, pizza, garlic bread and more. The packing material in your box can be used for cooking as well: Korintje Indonesian cinnamon sticks, whole nutmeg from Grenada, and Turkish select bay leaves.
The spices contained in the box are:
We like to call these Italian herbs with an attitude! Actually, we have taken the best combination of herbs frequently used in Italian cooking (basil, oregano, thyme, marjoram and savory), and added the sophistication of dehydrated lemon peel and minced garlic. This blend pairs beautifully with any dish that features tomatoes--from spaghetti or marinara sauce to salsa. Even if you only make frozen pizzas, rub a little between your palms and sprinkle on pizza before baking. You won't believe what a difference it will make. It also makes a great salt-free, sugar-free Italian salad dressing base. Mix 2 Tablespoons of this spice blend with 1/3 cup red wine vinegar and 2/3 cup olive oil.
Named for the historic Chicago neighborhood which has a long history of Italian "campanilismo", or sense of place. You can still find it today in the many flourishing Italian bakeries, delicatessens, trattorias and pizzerias that flourish in the neighborhood. This seasoning honors the true flavors of the neighborhood--strong on garlic and rich, romano cheese. Pick up a loaf of Italian at your favorite local bakery, drizzle with good olive oil, shake on Taylor Street Cheese Sprinkle and bake for DA BEST garlic bread. Also makes a wonderful Sicilian style breading when mixed with plain bread crumbs. Use 3 Tablespoons per cup for breading. Bread veal cutlets, pork chops, eggplant or mozzarella sticks. It's tasty on popcorn or mixed into sour cream for baked potato dressing. Hand mixed from: Romano cheese powder, salt, garlic powder, scallions, powdered green peppercorns, Italian parsley, and, of course, basil.
With just a little preparation, you can make pesto just as good as those expensive bottles in the local specialty shop, at half the price. In blender, pulse half cup seasoning and 4 Tablespoons pine nuts until nuts are finely ground. Add 1/4 cup water and let absorb about ten minutes. Add 1/3 cup olive oil, or more, until desired consistency is reached--thicker for vegetable dip, thinner for tossing with hot pasta. This blend is great when fresh basil is scarce in the off-season. It makes a great spread on French bread. Just add tomatoes and fresh cheese for a great meatless sandwich. For pesto bread, add this blend to the dough before baking. Hand mixed from: Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, sweet basil, fine black pepper, garlic, salt (only 2%) and sugar (only 1%)
This product is made from pure sweet cherry tomatoes, spray dried, with no additives. All you do for tomato paste or sauce is mix it with water--1 part powder to 3 parts water for paste, and 4 parts water for sauce. Instant sauce without messy jars, tubes or clean up. It's perfect for recipes that call for 1 Tablespoon of tomato paste. If you make your own pasta from scratch, add it to the dough. In addition to the terrific flavor, the pasta becomes a beautiful bright orange color. Sprinkle it on garlic bread, pizza or salads for flavor enhancement. Give paprika a break and try this sprinkled over deviled eggs! Also serves as a thickener, so it's a natural for sauces, stews and gumbos.

We recently had an Officer leave our guild. Several of us saw the frustrations building over the past few weeks and wondered where it would lead. The other day we saw exactly where that went.
On his way out he left a message for the guild expressing his frustration that many are not prepared for heroics, let alone raids. In his opinion, many are attempting difficult content without regards to abilities, gear, group make-up, buffs, etc. He expressed his frustration at those who unwittingly bring down others by not being prepared and waste the time of those who are geared. One of his complaints was evidently the 10g repairs required before even getting to the first boss in a heroic. As a clothie, this may be a valid concern, but don't ever make the mistake of complaining about a 10g repair to anyone in plate! Remember, 10g is one daily quest which isn't a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.
Regardless of how the officer left, which wasn't shall we say professional, he does have a point. There are many people in casual raiding guilds that aren't ready. Part of the responsibility rests on the officers' shoulders and the majority rests on the player.
How do we fix that? The old adage that "knowledge is power" applies. There are so many resources available to us that it's a crime to not take advantage of what's available. There are links to so many websites that will assist you in enchanting, gemming, and evaluating your gear, evaluating your talents, or even blog sites such as World of Matticus and Resto 4 Life for healers, Big Bear Butt Blogger for Feral Tanks, and Big Red Kitty for hunters just to name a few. There's dozens of sites out there and each one of these has links to more. After a while you'll find what's useful and what isn't.
But what do I look at, you might ask? Well here are a few tips:
In my guild, the officers have noticed that some of the talent builds we've seen on our members are what we might consider…odd. Although many of us have little understanding of other classes, there have been a few raised eyebrows from those that do. If you haven't looked at your talents in a while, visit some sites dedicated to your class to see what's out there. Just by redoing your talents, you may find that your heals, dps, or tanking abilities will increase dramatically. What worked while you were leveling up is not necessarily going to work as well in raiding. What works in PvP, almost never works as well in PvE, and vice-versa.
Give it a chance. Find something new. Try it out. If it works for you and you're happy, great run with it! If it doesn't work out, try something else till you find what does work. Everyone's play style will be different and the so-called "optimum" builds may not really be that "optimum" for you.
In every guild I've been in, I've seen a lot of linking loot that members find on other players they happen to be running past. This can be a great tool for motivating guild members as to what awaits them, but it can also be detrimental when that player focuses on trying to attain that gear without having a plan. I've seen players pass on obvious upgrades because they believe that they may as well wait for that piece they're after, not realizing that the small upgrades get you to the larger ones eventually.
Research your gear upgrades. The WoWArmory has the ability to search for upgrades and this is a useful tool. The only part I don't like about it is the inability to exclude certain categories, such as Sunwell. There are other websites out there that do allow for this though.
Another great resource is AtlasLoot. If you don't have this add-on, I recommend you get it now. Hell, I DEMAND that you get it NOW!!!! Best thing in the world is to know what gear could potentially drop so you know what to look for. This speeds up raid times while distributing loot allowing your group to down just "one more" boss before the end of the night. Remember, one more boss is more badges and a couple more pieces of loot that will assist the guild in running it even better next time. (I swear if I have to sit through another 5 min loot distribution routine in Kara again…)
AtlasLoot will also assist you in knowing what badge gear to go after. This add-on has the ability to create a wishlist by holding Alt and clicking on the item. There's a wishlist button at the bottom. No more will you have to spend several minutes at the badge vendor to search for the item you found the other day and can't remember how many badges you need.
Know which heroics/raids you are capable of and which you aren't. Did you know that Slave Pens, Underbog, and Ramparts are considered the easiest heroics? How about Mechanaar being the easiest after that? Did you know that Heroic Magister's Terrace is the hardest? Did you know that even regular MgT is the equivalent of some of the regular heroics? It's amazing how few people I run into even realize that the difficulty differences that exist between the regular instances translate even more so in heroics.
Know which heroics/raids require what types of CC and how many you should bring. Karazahn has 3 types of CC that are effective: priests can shackle, hunters can ice-trap, and warlocks can banish the few demons that are present. Knowing something like this can prevent you from making the mistake of bringing Rogues for the sole purpose of CC. I've actually participated in the Moroes fight with only one CC because someone wanted to bring their alt in. It wasn't pleasant.
Pay attention in heroics and raids. You may never know when your knowledge of another class' responsibilities will come in handy. There are certain mobs in Slave Pens that can't be sheeped. Know which ones? Ever been in a group that relied on sheeping only to find out too late that it was resisted and you wiped? Personally, my biggest regret was not paying attention to what others needed to do as I now run these instances.
Know the advantages of group make-up. When does it make sense to have more melee than ranged dps? What classes should be grouped together on raids? Want an example courtesy of BRK? Look here for some of the responses.
Point is there's a lot of different ideas and information out there. Use it.
Know Your Toon
You'll often see requests from friends and members about whether or not they should switch out certain pieces of gear or what badge gear they should go for. I've often been asked by someone looking at badge gear as to whether they should buy A or B first. The issue isn't so much about which piece as both are generally needed and obvious upgrades. The issue and question is what does your toon need?
Every class/spec has certain stats they need above all else. It's your responsibility to find out what that is. This information is freely available on websites and from opinions within game. Know which stats are most important and in which order the importance should be placed.
Here's a major problem I've observed in my own guild regarding DPS players. It makes me cringe when hearing about a DPS player wanting to stack crit to get the most damage possible. Why? Because first off, anyone relying solely on crit to deal damage is going to be ineffective and low on the DPS report. First, you have to be able to hit the guy. All your stats should be working towards that and making sure you can't miss before concentrating on crit. Also, crits are great but only after the tank has gained enough aggro. Someone who tries to get as much crit early on in a fight as they can is asking to die. Dead DPS is NO DPS!! (I'm speaking to you Mr. Mage, who always wants to start casting before the pull so the spell hits instantly after the tank pulls!!! Wiping the party/raid is not the way to increase DPS!) We've all heard it, we all know it, but some people get too excited and forget. The DPS player that concentrates on steady damage will out damage the one who focuses on critting, guaranteed! Know where you should be stat wise.
Be Courteous, Be Responsible
The Officers of any good guild, as well as its members should be taking an active interest in helping others and advancing their progress. But it's often hard for anyone to approach someone and try to give them advice. So for those of you on the receiving end, remember it's more awkward for someone to approach you than it is for you to hear it.
Please be courteous and learn all you can about your toon. What you know or don't know affects more than just you. What you do to prepare affects more than just you. Every action you take in a guild has the potential to affect a great many others both positively and negatively. One of the most devastating effects a casual guild faces is attrition. Casual guilds will often attract geared and experienced players looking to potentially lead others or just for a more relaxed raiding atmosphere, but they will often leave if others don't attempt to improve and make progress. Each one that leaves then makes it that much harder for the guild to stay together.
Be courteous of others and responsible for your place in the guild. When you do that, even casual guilds will thrive.

If the cover is not enough to compel you to run out and swipe this book of the virtual shelves then here is a sneak peak...
Brand new YA fantasy novel from author Kyra Dune.
Blurb: Dagen is a thief and a good one, at least in his humble opinion. But he has more in mind for his future than picking pockets, and when he comes across the haul of a lifetime, he finally sees a way to impress the boss of his crew, maybe even enough to be made partner.
But things don't go the way Dagen had planned and soon he finds himself on the run with a sack full of stolen jewels, and more, for unknown to him, one of those jewels is the fabled Dragonstar, created in times long past by a powerful sorcerer.
The plan is to head for the port city of Braack, but the Dragonstar has other ideas. From the secret city of thieves, to the ruins of a castle, to the last stronghold of the elves, Dagen's whole life is flipped upside down by visions, haunts, strange beasts, and the looming possibility that one day, he just might have to kill a god.
Excerpt: The scratching sound of the knife against the lock seemed impossibly loud, surely loud enough to wake the dead, and seemed to go on forever. Sweat broke out across Dagen's brow. It wasn't the getting in that was worrying him, he had no doubt that Halbert could pick the lock, it was the getting out in one piece that would be tricky.
A small click, a soft exclamation of success from Halbert, and the backdoor was open. The kitchen was dark, the objects within nothing more than faint outlines in the moonlight. For a moment the boys simply stood there, staring inside, making no move to enter the house.Dagen had no way of knowing what Halbert might be thinking or feeling, but as for himself it felt as if he were standing on the edge of a cliff. He could still turn around, could still go back to the safety of the barn, but once he crossed the threshold, once he took the plunge, there would be no turning back from that.
The idea was frightening enough to make Dagen take a step back. This life might not be the best in the world, but it was the best he'd ever had. If he did this, if he stole from Majul, then he would be out on his own now instead of in four years. And even though they intended to run to Braack, even though he knew there was no way anyone from Barnum could even know what had happened here, the idea of being out from under Majul's protection was terrifying.Halbert stepped into the kitchen and the soft thump of his boots marked his progress toward the cellar door. He probably didn't even know Dagen wasn't behind him, which sent a little flutter of guilt through him. He might not be all that experienced in the friend area, but even he knew that you're supposed to have your friend's back, especially when you already told them that you would.
From inside the house there came a soft thrumming sound, followed by a cry born of surprise rather than pain. This was followed by a serious of heavy thumps, each one punctuated by a sound of increasing distress, then silence. The kind of silence that seems to ring with sound.Dagen's breath froze in his lungs; his heart tried to sink down into his stomach while his stomach was trying to crawl up his throat. Some kind of trap, it had to be. Majul was no fool, he'd known they would come for the jewels. But it wasn't too late, not for Dagen, he could still run and nobody need ever know that he was here.

Want to move to cities on the rebound? Eager to work in places that are adding jobs or seeing unemployment fall?
Then pack your bags for Minneapolis. Or Buffalo, N.Y.
Surprised? Don't be.Of of the 49 large metro areas in the United States, these Upper Midwest locales were the only places to see a year-over-year decline in their unemployment rate in March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported (.pdf) Wednesday.
Minneapolis-St.Paul-Bloomington saw its unemployment rate fall more than half a percentage point over the last year to stand at 7.8 percent. Buffalo-Niagara Falls experienced a 0.2 percentage-point drop and now stands at 8.6 percent. Both rates are lower than the 9.7 percent national average.
While their rebounds don't signal a revival of the Frost Belt, they do show how each area's unique characteristics, like lower rates of in-migration and less reliance on heavy manufacturing, have allowed them to emerge ahead of the rest of the country.
"This area doesn't leap up as much in good times and doesn't fall as badly in bad times," says Lawrence Southwick, professor emeritus of management science at the State University of New York at Buffalo. "We've become less subject to the national economy."
Indeed, Buffalo, once a steel and auto city dependent on the nation to buy its exports, has moved out of heavy manufacturing into growing sectors like health care and customer service. The metro area is also strong in sectors less prone to economic cycles, like insurance, basic chemicals, and banking operations' back-office work like data-checking and tech support.
"We're in a relatively unusual circumstance due to our job mix," says Mr. Southwick. "We boom less, but we also bust less."
It doesn't hurt that Buffalo's population has declined over the past several decades, he adds. "People who would otherwise be unemployed have moved out. That's one way to keep the unemployment rate down."
Unlike Buffalo, Minneapolis experienced the full brunt of the recession.
"The state entered recession earlier than the US as a whole," says Thomas Stinson, professor of applied economics at the University of Minnesota and state economist for Minnesota. "And I think what's happened is that Minnesota has moved out of the recession ahead of the US."
Home to building manufacturers like Andersen Corp. and Marvin Windows and Doors, "the area took a big hit because of the housing situation," says Stinson. "We experienced substantial declines in construction employment. And we lost a lot of jobs in headquarters for major retailers like Target and Best Buy."
Those job cuts are over, says Stinson, and the area is stabilizing and even hiring in some sectors – the state added 11,000 jobs in manufacturing and health care between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010.
Home to the prestigious Mayo Clinic, the state also gets a boost from health care. Minneapolis's medical equipment industry, including Medtronic Inc. and Boston Scientific Corp., fared relatively well through the recession.
Interestingly, Minnesota has always fared better than the nation when it comes to unemployment, says Stinson.
In fact, that's true for the entire Upper Midwest.
That region experiences less in-migration than, say, California. People tend not to move there unless they have a job waiting. And they tend to move out if they lose their job.
That drives down the unemployment rate and drives it up somewhere else – like California, where unemployment is at 13 percent.

i'll be back...
* * *
Welcome home Sweet One!!!!! I thought about you every single day. The painting is awesome. The depth of red in the flower is amazing. Sorry to hear about your DH and hope is now on the mend and that you can take a step back to settle in to being at home again. I know how that goes, switching gears can take some time, transitions; take it slow and easy and no need to rush. I actually was thinking about you quite a bit today. You see DD and I went to Wet Paint and I took a bunch of photos with you in mind, seeings how you've ordered from them in the past it was about time you got to see what a cool, little hole in the wall it is, from the outside it looks small, but once inside it all winds around into nooks and crannies brimming with lovely art supply candy. I'll be posting the pics to my blog soon. I'm happy you are back and thanks oodles for the pc's. They made my day and I've put them up in my art room so I can see them every day. xxxoooxxxxReplyDelete
first, i send you and your dh light and healing vibes.
such a sweet and interesting painting this Shelter. it reminds me of a story book my father bought me as an adult. I believe it is called Tiger Flower, where all that is big is tiny and all that is tiny (like flowers) is big. really a beautiful book.
