My sister Jen and I wanted to try and make fortune cookies. I was surprised to see a variety of recipes out there. We settled with one over at
alpha mom
. But I'd like to try
our best bites
to compare. The ingredients are simple and the mixing is quick. The tedious part is the baking. Only baking 2 or 4 cookies at a time for 4 minutes each, then quickly assembling is best done as a 2 person activity and with nothing else to distract you. We both agreed that we loved the taste of this recipe.

Here's a better way
In the June 19 PG, letter writer Michael Meloro states his opinion that Rep. Tim Murphy has taken the wrong position on cap-and-trade legislation ("Murphy's Stand"). The climate-change legislation referred to is, in fact, nothing more than a pollution tax.
Rather than investing in clean energy technologies, this bill punishes heavy manufacturing and carbon intensive industries with an end goal of eliminating coal as an energy source.
Mr. Murphy voted against the bill because he knows the devastating impact it will have on Pittsburgh jobs and our local economy. There is a better way to clean the air and move to alternative energies, which is why he wants to invest in our clean energy future by putting billions in federal revenue from offshore oil and gas exploration into the research, development and deployment of clean energy that includes our nation's most abundant resource: coal.
The work being done at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in South Park is leading the way in clean energy research and demonstrates that we can use coal without emitting carbon.

'Into the Storm' Trailer Wants to Be This Generation's 'Twister'
Twister is a film about a team of scientists who are trying to save lives by figuring out how to more accurately predict tornadic behavior. To do this, they have to drive into tornadoes in an attempt to get one to suck up their high-tech tracking equipment. Forget the fantastic cast that movie assembled, it endures so well because it's essentially an underdog, man-vs.-nature story where the heroes are scientists.
Don't expect that from Into the Storm, a new found-footage movie from Final Destination 5 director Steven Quale about a town that gets torn to hell and back during a single day when it's "ravaged by an unprecedented onslaught of tornadoes." The story is then "told through the eyes and lenses of professional storm chasers, thrill-seeking amateurs and courageous townspeople."
Maybe this will be a commentary on the modern YouTube age and people's stupid desires to capture everything and anything on video so they can become reality stars. Or maybe it's just an excuse to show a small American town getting destroyed by an impossible amount of tornadoes. Either way, if you want to just see tornadoes rip apart people's lives and cause an insane amount of destruction, Into the Storm looks like it'll fit the bill.

A few people asked me what the best quadcopter is to start out with for beginners. I will share with you some good quadcopters options to start out with. If you have no RC flying experience in the past, you might find this post useful.
Article was created in September 2013, revised in May 2016.
What's the best quadcopter for beginner?
It's a tricky question because there isn't really a best quadcopter setup.
The electronics, frame and gear you choose will determine its flight characteristics and capabilities.
Electronics with better hardware may have better capabilities, but without the knowledge and understanding of how to utilise that hardware things can become frustrating very quickly. There's also toy grade and hobby grade both of which have models great for beginners
Research and Study
When I first got interested in quadcopters I spent weeks reading/watching reviews and guides. Hearing from people's flying and quad building experience really helped me to understand it better.
You can't go wrong with doing a lot of research and studying, currently there is an overwhelming amount of very useful write ups and videos online. Ask tons of questions before you spend your hard earned money on a box of stuff you have no idea what to do with. I put together a comprehensive guide explaining how each component works on a quadcopter you may find useful.
A good place to start for anyone learning is a toy grade model, these are easy to fly and learn with but can also be very entertaining as your skills improve. Hobby grade models usually require some knowledge and build skills to assemble and maintain, so be sure to do your homework before buying.
See this post to learn about tips on flying for beginner. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment, or ask on this quadcopter forum.
The Best Quadcopter To Start out
As a quadcopter or RC beginner, you are almost guaranteed to have countless crashes with your quad at the beginning. Even just once among those countless crashes can be fatal, expensive and time consuming replacing all those broken parts. Practising with an inexpensive model can be beneficial to learning the ins and outs of these very technical machines.
If you can afford to, I would personally recommend getting a RTF (ready to fly) quadcopter. After you have mastered the flying skills with this mini quad you can move onto some faster/more powerful ones, or start building your own multirotor. It gives you an opportunity to learn the steering control, hand-eye coordination and muscle memory. I got one of those and they are so robust and still flying after many crashes.
Toy grade RTF options are (which I think are good value): Cheerson CX10, and Hubsan X4. Alternatively, you can build your own micro quad, but requires more advanced knowledge and experience in RC. For more powerful Hobby grade mini quad, check out the Emax Nighthawk Pro 280 I reviewed before.
How to Start with Flying Technique?
This is how I learned to fly. It's important to start your practice by standing behind the quadcopter so you are facing the same direction as the quad. This will allow the movements on your transmitter to make the quadcopter go in the same direction!
Here is another guide on flying tips and rules.
You'll want to lift your quad off the ground almost instantly to around 1 meter (3 feet). When it's too close to the ground you might get air disturbance from the motors (ground effect/prop wash). Just try to hover around the same spot with the same height using throttle, pitch and roll.
If Hovering isn't too difficult for you, you can now try mastering landing. It sounds easy but it's one of the most important technique beginners seem to forget. The idea here is the throttle control, remember to lower it really slowly and smoothly. Do not cut the power instantly, your quad will free fall and might damage your frame or electronics.
Pitch and Roll Control
Pitch controls forward and reverse, roll controls side to side motion. Pick a location you want the quad to move to, use pitch and roll fly to that spot and land.
Yaw Wondering
Yaw is the 360 degree rotating motion around the quads centre. Much like when you move your head to look right or left, the quad will "yaw" left or right with your control input.
Start by trying to circle around an object or yourself (just don't get too close). You will only use pitch and a bit of throttle to go forward, use Yaw to turn left and right. You can either practice flying in circle, or in figure 8's. This control technique is very useful when you start flying FPV, or taking videos in the sky.
Tips for Beginners – Selecting the right multirotor
A lot of people take the hard way and build large quads as their first quad. If you don't have the spare budget for a mini learning quad, this seems to be the only way to go.
But again, if you crash badly due to lack of control practice, it might cost you more eventually (speaking from personal experience). You might even hurt someone if you lose control.
If you prefer something larger, consider an RTF quad that is similar in size to what you eventually want but is affordable and not too expensive to repair or replace in worst case scenarios. Currently there are many options available to beginners on the market. Many businesses even have RTF kits for a variety of quad sizes and experience levels.
Don't just buy what everyone else is buying because they said it's the best. Their preferences and skill sets will vary compared to yours and may not be suitable for you.
As a beginner you want to stay away from machines that are overly complicated. You want something that will allow you to focus on flying. Having all the options and best equipment is great, but doesn't necessarily means they will make you a better pilot. Learning the basics of multirotor building/flying/repairing should be your first priority, they are all part of the learning curve and shouldn't be skipped.
For those with some experience, you can fly almost any multicopters, but how well will be determined by your understanding of tuning, and setting up to fly the way you want. Part of being a great pilot is being a great mechanic, and knowing what to do with your quad to maximise its flight characteristics. All this comes down to practise and research. Take advantage of the endless amounts of information out there to make the most informed decision possible.
Something else to remember, things are changing at such a fast pace in this industry that it's easy to get caught up in the rat race of what's best or most popular. The most expensive or best gear won't necessarily make you a better pilot. Once you find something that you like and flies well, stick with it till you've mastered it. Once you've done that, you'll know the next step to take.

Society was in chaos. Lawlessness stalked the work surfaces and fear lived in the shadows between various kitchen items. The Egg-run Socialist government were losing their grip over the other Kitchen items. Deepest of all festering wounds were the Corks. Their purpose filfilled, they wandered aimlessly and wreaked their awful bitterness on any passing citizens. Disorder replaced order and the difference between right and wrong became very blurred. The Eggs were losing control.

chuckle. And I relate to this shot in an entirely coincidental and weird way. Sitting around at a party with the girls poring down the champers, I noticed the wire cork holder was a continuous piece of wire. Had a nerdy moment and decided I wanted to know how long the wire was. Straightened it and finally wound it in a spiral like the egg holder here. (The wire is 55cm long by the way.) I think I'm losing control.

Few men attained greater celebrity during the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries than William Beckford (17601844), the wealthiest man
in England. With enormous wealth as his Aladdin's lamp, he decided to make his
Arabian dreams come true. By the time he died at the venerable age of 84, he had
built the loftiest domestic residence in the world, had assembled a virtual
harem of boys, had his own militia to protect his Fonthill estate of 6,000
acres, had written the first Oriental-Gothic horror novel in English literature,
and had become the most scandalous connoisseur of hedonism in the modern world.
His society bemusedly tolerated most eccentrics even nouveau riche
ones but they chose to ostracize this remarkable personality, dubbing him
"The Fool of Fonthill."
Beckford's father, twice Lord Mayor of London, was the richest man in
England, with extensive holdings in the cloth industry, property, government
bonds, and sugar plantations. As a result, Beckford received a brilliant
education, and was widely learned in French, Latin, Greek, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, philosophy, law, literature and physics by the age of 17. His
private piano teacher was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at least that is the
legend, too romantic to be discouraged. He was being brought up as an empire
builder, but his father died when Beckford was only ten, leaving him with no
political ambition, and a millionaire's taste for pleasure.
But even money cannot stop the mouths of gossip-mongers. When this
self-styled Caliph was 19, he fell in love with the Hon William Courtenay, later
3rd Viscount and 9th Earl of Devon, then ten years old and regarded as one of
the most beautiful boys in England, borne out by paintings of him. Beckford and
Courtenay saw each other frequently either at Fonthill or at Powderham Castle in
Devon, Courtenay's home, for nearly six peaceful years. But then, in 1784, a
visitor to Powderham claimed to have heard some "strange goings on" in
Courtenay's bedroom, with Beckford apparently in bed with the lad. Soon the
newspapers started circulating rumours about the country squire and his "Kitty,"
as the beautiful Courtenay was effeminately dubbed.
Greville wrote to Sir William Hamilton in Naples to say that Beckford "probably
will be obliged to vacate his seat, and retire to Italy to make up the loss
which Italy has sustained by Lord Tilney's death." Most men would have fled
immediately to the Continent, but for nearly a year Beckford braved out the
storm of abuse and secluded himself at Fonthill. No criminal charges were filed,
but King George III, who personally wished that Beckford could have been hanged,
dismissed Beckford's application for a peerage. Beckford and Courtenay were
forced to separate to avoid further reprisal. Beckford finally went abroad,
where he remained for the next ten years, living mainly in Portugal, followed by
an entourage so magnificent that during his travels he was often mistaken for
the Emperor of Austria and charged accordingly. Courtenay, now Lord
Devon, secluded himself at Powderham, which he inherited after his father's
Beckford found solace in his exile by writing additional Episodes for his
thinly veiled fantasy-autobiography, The History of the Caliph
Vathek, published in 1786. Beckford portrayed himself in his most
wicked colours as the villainous Vathek, the caliph who is satiated with sensual
pleasures and builds a tower so he can penetrate the forbidden secrets of heaven
itself. Prince Gulchenrouz is modelled upon Courtenay, "the most delicate
and lovely creature in the world" who occasionally puts on the dresses of
Princess Nouronihar (modelled upon Courtenay's aunt Lady Loughborough). Princess
Carathis, based upon Beckford's mother, is a witch who is always mixing the
powder of Egyptian mummies with frogs' warts, and running up and down the palace
casting evil spells, much as she did in real life. Vathek becomes insanely
jealous and murders both Nouronihar and Gulchenrouz, but Gulchenrouz ascends
straight to heaven and lives in a perpetual childhood surrounded by a bevy of
beautiful boy-houris. Vathek sacrifices fifty lovely lads, who "stripped
and presented to the admiration of the spectators the suppleness and grace of
their delicate limbs. . . . At intervals they nimbly started from each other for
the sake of being caught again and mutually imparting a thousand caresses."
They are thrown over a cliff one by one, but are rescued by a magic genie and
taken to join Gulchenrouz in his merry sports. Vathek finally ends up in hell, "wandering
in an eternity of anguish" for his venture into eighteenth century
The deliberately decadent style of the novel an elaborate
construction of refined sensnbility, eroticism, moralism, satire, irony, fantasy
and Gothic horror directly influenced the novels of Ronald Firbank and
Joris-Karl Huysmans (particularly
Against the Grain) and the poetry of Mallarme and
Beckford's sardonic humour has been much more difficult to imitate. Its
greatest influence was upon French literature, for it was originally written in
French, then translated into English with the collaboration of his agent Samuel
Henley. Its curious literary history resembles that of Oscar Wilde's
Salome, which Wilde also wrote in French, then had
translated into English by Lord Douglas.
The scandal of 1784 was partly fabricated or at least exaggerated by
Courtenay's vindictive uncle Lord Loughborough, and we cannot be sure that
specific sexual acts took place; but the general charge was almost certainly
true. Beckford, though he would marry and have two daughters (his wife died in
childbirth), was primarily homosexual: by 1807 he was caricaturing himself as
Barzaba, from bar saba, Syriac for "voluptuary," but used in
the specific sense of "boy-fancier," in his letters to his agent and
general factotum Gregorio Franchi, whom he brought back with him from Portugal.
Upon his eventual return to England, Beckford shielded himself behind an eight
mile long, twelve foot high wall topped by iron spikes, surrounding his estate
(it was also built because he loved animals, and wanted to keep out hunters),
and began to act out some of the dreams of Vathek. He imported a dwarf to be his
doorkeeper (and with whom he shared the pornography occasionally sent by Franchi
from London), an abbé from France as spiritual advisor (and also as
tolerant confidant concerning boy-troubles), a physician from Italy, and a harem
of boy-servants for diversion, some picked up in England.
His household of young male servants were all given revealing gay nicknames:
"there is pale Ambrose, infamous Poupee, horrid Ghoul, insipid Mme Bion,
cadaverous Nicobuse, the portentous dwarf, frigid Silence," Miss Long, Miss
Butterfly (slang for catamite), Countess Pox, Mr Prudent Well-Sealed-up, The
Monkey, The Turk (Ali-dru, an Albanian with whom Beckford travelled and bathed),
and others: "we have enough ragamuffins here." As for the stableboys, "none
of them are in the least promising." Not all of them were willing partners:
"It's not worth talking about Bijou he's not of the right kind and
never will be; we'll need other angels if we go to another paradise." There
are some problems with Mademoiselle Bion, his valet Richardson, who seems to
grant all favours except one, in which respect he is berated as frigid: "What
most confounds and disgusts me is a certain kind of frigidity and insipidity
like Mme Bion's (the devil take you, you blond beast)"; and yet, "Bion
always counts for something."
Very few people gained entrance to the cathedral Beckford called home, and
naturally rumours arose concerning wild orgies of the caliph and his male harem.
These rumours are exaggerated as is everything connected with Beckford
but they cannot be dismissed altogether. Where there was so much smoke there
were bound to be a few flames flickering. Beckford was a collector and builder
on a mammoth scale, and he was probably more interested in acquiring objets
d'art than fawn-youths. But the two manias were aligned: "it's cruel
to hear talk of fair boys and dark Jade vases and not to buy them."
His exclusion from society was compensated for by the transformation of
Fonthill Abbey into a Gothic cathedral to rival nearby Salisbury Cathedral. With
the help of the leading architect of the day, James Wyatt, he raised a tower
that was nearly 300 feet high. The main enfilade had an uninterrupted vista of
300 feet from the north through the south transepts, and four of the bedrooms
were perched 120 feet above ground. (All that remains of Fonthill Abbey today is
less than half of the north wing, containing the Lancaster Tower, Sanctuary, and
Oratory, which used to house an alabaster statue of Beckford's patron saint, St
Anthony, flanked by 36 lighted tapers in silver- gilt candelabras, as the focal
point of the vista.) A grand opening was arranged in 1800, though even the
exterior was hardly near completion, and his guests of honour were Admiral Lord
Nelson and his mistress Emma Hamilton, the kind of people who dared to defy the
conventions. But for the rest, his visitors were limited to painters such as
Benjamin West, writers, artists, artisans and art dealers, and tradesmen, and
his dinners were patched up from social odds and ends. Even in Portugal the
English colony had refused to pay visits, and did all they could to prevent
Beckford from being presented at court. Beckford had no hope of ever again
moving in polite society, and we should not underestimate the pervasive
ostracism to which he was subjected. The liberal Sir Richard Hoare of nearby
Stourhead asked to see the famed Abbey, and was conducted around by Beckford in
1806. But when the Wiltshire neighbours heard of this, they demanded an
explanation from Sir Richard, lest he be shunned by them as well; he made
excuses for this gaffe, and never again saw Beckford.
During the completion and furnishing of the Abbey, Beckford was
simultaneously engaged with Franchi in the pursuit of youths. For example,
throughout September and October 1807, Beckford wrote directions to Franchi to
do some pimping for him: "If it is at all possible, go to see an angel
called Saunders who is a tight- rope walker at the Circus Royal and the certain
captivator of every bugger's soul. Ah!" Saunders and his troupe disappear
but are caught sight of again: "find out what you can about the site of the
Earthly Paradise. Many have sought it in vain: some in Syria or Mesopotamia,
some in Abyssinia, others in Ceylon, but I (according to the latest information)
in Bristol." His home was discovered to be in Duke Street, London, and
Franchi was advised to visit his father, and to make "a proposition for a
journey to foreign parts, and even a life-annuity all this is possible."
Letters urging Franchi to make arrangements flowed furiously throughout October.
By the end of that month Beckford himself had been to "the Leg household"
(a pun upon tights), and was lodging in Brunets' Hotel, Leicester Square, an
area frequented by theatrical people and foreigners, waiting to see Saunders in
his room. Years later, in 1811, Beckford was still following the travels of
Saunders, this time to York, as well as those of a young horseman who was part
of the troupe: "I would not fly from a nice York patapouf [catamite] if
Providence sent him to me."
Master Saunders was born in 1789, so he was 18 (though made up to look
younger, as he was billed as "the celebrated Equestrian Infant-Phenomenon")
when Beckford saw him, and Beckford was not literally a pederast; it would be
more accurate to read "youths" or "lads" whenever he writes
of "boys." The Turk stayed with Beckford a good many years, and their
relationship did not fade with the passing youth of the former. Beckford's
interest was not limited to ephebes: "I'd like to run away, Heaven knows
where, with some great Jock" (18 September 1813). He was also attracted to
a soldier in Bath, hoping to "take some lessons in drilling from him"
(12 October 1819).
Beckford never again mingled with high society, but he was not permanently
sequestered at Fonthill, and his letters to Franchi suggest that he sometimes
ventured into the homosexual subculture of London. From 1811 to 1817 he rented
No 6 Upper Harley Street (now 100 Harley Street), where Franchi often stayed. He
also stayed at "Brunets' bagnio," sometimes in company with The Turk.
The apartments cost 11 or 12 guineas a week, which "isn't very cheap."
And occasionally he stayed in Louis Jacquier's Clarendon Hotel, New Bond Street:
"late last night, coming out of Jacquier's, I went in search of a little
amusement in an accustomed quarter. I knock. They've gone away" (19 January
1819). The Seven Dials neighbourhood in St Giles' Parish he called "the
Holy Land," his term for the gay cruising area, where he hoped to "kiss
the relics" (1 July 1812). And, further out, in August-September 1810 he
found a "little rogue" on Hounslow heath, a "Paradise" where
a barracks was conveniently sited; he may well have shared the pleasures of the
Vere Street Coterie in that year.
As for the youth for whom Beckford's reputation had been ruined, William Courtenay seems to have been more actively and exclusively homosexual than his supposed seducer; he never married, and was not very cautious. According to the diarist Joseph Farington, by 1810 few of the gentlemen of Exeter would visit their scandalous neighbour, and the people of Torquay so reviled his servants that Lord Courtenay had to give up plans to build a summer residence there. By 1811 an Essex magistrate had gathered enough evidence to convict Courtenay of unnatural crimes; on hearing that a warrant had been issued for his arrest, he fled to France, where he lived in obscurity for the next twenty-four years. But the lower classes missed their benefactor, even as late as 1823, for Courtenay "was so humane and charitable, that to this day all the poor in the neighbourhood of Exeter lament his absence" [William Benbow, The Crimes of the Clergy, or The Pillars of Priest- Craft Shakes (London, 1823), p. 230]. A distant cousin with a passion for genealogy in 1831 helped to revive the earldom of Devon in his favour (a title which the cousin would inherit upon Courtenay's death), and the newspapers taunted the new Earl of Devon for not returning to England to claim his seat in the House of Lords. But the laws of England were not so tolerant as the Code Napoleon, and Courtenay preferred to spend his remaining years in his Paris house in the Place Vendme to being imprisoned or hanged in his native country. And who can blame him? By the 1820s, Beckford had spent so much money on Fonthill that he was forced to mortgage it. In 1823 he sold it to a gunpowder maker for nearly five million dollars. He then bought an estate near Bath and built what he called Lansdown Baghdad, with a much shorter tower. Now in his late sixties, he became respectably eccentric, rather than scandalously debauched, until his death. Beckford's personality still remains enigmatic, even for his modern biographers. "He was," in the opinion of Alistair Sutherland, "as much a martyr as Wilde, and almost certainly a more interesting and civilised man." He was immensely intelligent as well as a hedonist, a serious artist as well as a social rebel, and more honest than eccentric.

Mediterranean Diet May Prevent Birth DefectsThe quality of the food that you eat before - and during - pregnancy may reduce the chances of your baby having certain birth defects such as neural tube defects according to a 2011 study from Stanford University: The National Birth Defects Prevention Study. Birth defects which were found to be connected to the quality of a mother's diet included: cleft lip, cleft palate and neural tube defects which can cause anencephaly (where the baby is born without a brain) or spina bifida (where the spine does not close properly exposing the spinal cord). This study was huge and included over 3000 cases of children born with birth defects and over 6,000 normally formed controls in the USA. Mothers were questioned about their dietary intakes and scored using two well respected assessment instruments to evaluate the 'Mediterranean Diet Score' (MDS) and their 'Diet Quality Index' (DQI). Together these scoring systems award high scores for diets rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats suh as olive oil, fish and seafood and award low scores for processed foods, saturated fats and red meats. The researchers concluded that: "...increasing diet quality based on either index was associated with reduced risks for the birth defects studied. The strongest association was between anencephaly and DQI (Dietary Quality Index)." "Healthier maternal dietary patterns, as measured by diet quality scores, were associated with reduced risks of NTDs and clefts." "These results suggest that dietary approaches could lead to further reduction in risks of major birth defects and complement existing efforts to fortify foods and encourage periconceptional multivitamin use." The routine recommendation that women take folic acid in prenatal vitamins - since 1991 - and measures to fortify foods with folic acid - since 1998 - have helped to reduce the incidence of neural tube defects but have by no means eradicated the condition. Studies have shown that other individual nutrients may help to prevent neural tube defects too but studies on the quality and nutrient density of a woman's diet have been lacking. This study didn't just measure the effectiveness of a single nutrient - such as folic acid - but instead looked at the quality and nutrient density of women's diets highlighting the fact that food can be enormously protective. Lead researcher Suzan Carmichael, PhD stated that: "Our study showed for the first time that the overall quality of the diet, and not just a single nutrient, matters in terms of reducing the risk of birth defects..." Diet proved to be very protective; women with the highest nutritional scores (top quartile) were 36 to 51 percent less likely than women with lowest quality diets (lowest quartile) to have a baby with anencephaly, and 24 to 34 percent less likely to have a baby with cleft lip. A varied whole food diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, healthy fats, hormone-free meats and dairy foods, mercury-free fish and other healthy foods, typical of a Mediterranean diet may offer significant protection against birth defects. Following a healthy pre-conception and pregnancy diet is just as important as taking a good quality pre-natal vitamin.

Richard L. Cameron(478) 301-5500
(The following article was published Friday, July 20, 2007 in the Macon Telegraph.)By JENNIFER firstname.lastname@example.com's hard to pinpoint exactly what Bill Underwood has accomplished in his first year as president of Mercer University. Not because he hasn't done anything, but because he hardly ever keeps any of the credit for himself.He praises his admissions staff for recruiting a strong freshman class.
He thanks the university community for cutting back during tough budget times.
He commends the campus minister for getting a new mission project off the ground.
"He believes in the university and its faculty and staff and trusts their own leadership and decision making and puts a lot of accountability back on everyone working at the university," said Peter Brown, senior vice provost. "It's not that he doesn't have ideas of his own, but he really does trust that the best decisions are going to come from the people here."
This month marks Underwood's one-year anniversary as Mercer's president. During the year, the university announced the creation of a new medical school, launched a new doctoral program in education, and revised an honors-program curriculum to require study abroad and at least one service-learning course.
But the year was not without its hardships, and Underwood faced some tough decisions early on when an ailing budget forced him to make cuts and layoffs.
"Even though it's been a painful process to go through, I think we're coming through in a much more stronger position," Underwood said.
Mercer's financial hardships were one of the biggest challenges Underwood faced during his first year.
In October, Underwood announced that due to lower-than-expected tuition revenues, the university had a $7 million budget shortfall, causing him to cut $8.5 million across campus. By the end of February, the university experienced 34 job layoffs, 10 percent budget reductions and a reorganization of the Mercer Center for Community Engagement.
Since then, Underwood has been able to shift several million dollars back into academic units, and he said he is confident the recently closed fiscal year will finish in the black.
"The campus community as a whole has helped us pull together and address the financial issues we had," Underwood said.
Despite some grumbling at limits placed on copies, supplies and travel, many students, faculty and staff members acknowledged the need for such cuts and lauded Underwood for tightening the purse strings.
"I really do appreciate the fact that he's fiscally responsible," said Susan Broome, associate director for technical services at the Tarver Library and chairwoman of the House of Delegates, a faculty group.
Underwood made the "difficult but necessary" choices to set Mercer back on course, she said.
"I think it was something that needed to be done," said Janika Haywood, a Mercer senior majoring in English.
Underwood tackled a near 200-student decrease in fall 2006 enrollment from the previous year's total by hiring Terry Whittum as the new vice president for enrollment management. Whittum's job was to consolidate the admissions, retention and financial-aid departments in an effort to increase the university's enrollment, retention and academic profile.
As part of that, the university targeted more high school sophomores and juniors, recruited from a larger geographic area and launched a new admissions Web site, www.gomercer.com.
The impact can be seen in the numbers, Underwood said.
For the fall 2007 school year, about 18,000 prospective students requested information about Mercer. For fall 2008, that number has jumped to 32,000, and for fall 2009, the university already has received more than 33,000 inquiries, Underwood said.
"That tells me that what Terry and John (Cole, vice president for admissions) and the people in admissions are doing ... is being effective," he said.
Underwood said he expects 610 freshmen to enroll in Mercer this fall, a near 8 percent increase over last year.
On average, Underwood makes four to five public appearances a week that involve speaking. Usually he talks about Mercer, but occasionally he speaks on larger higher-education issues or gives sermons at the Baptist churches he visits.
Another large part of his time is spent fundraising and recruiting new talent, such as new Mercer head women's basketball coach Janell Jones.
This year, Mercer received $10.5 million in new endowment gifts and $14.1 million in new endowment pledges, according to an e-mail from Emily Myers, senior vice president for university advancement. The current endowment sits at about $200 million, an increase from $174 million last year. An additional $300 million already has been committed to the university through planned gifts to be received at a future date, according to the e-mail.
Despite Underwood's packed schedule, students say his presence on campus is known.
"He's probably more involved in student activities than Dr. (Kirby) Godsey was," Kimberly Johnson, who graduated from Mercer in May, said, referring to the former president. "You see him on campus more often."
Johnson said she has seen Underwood in the University Center, cafeteria and at basketball games.
"He's more approachable to the students," she said, adding that it makes them feel that they have a greater voice in what goes on with the university.
Sarah Gardner, an associate professor of history and director of the honors program in the College of Liberal Arts, echoed those sentiments.
"He's very much a visible presence on campus," she said. "He seems involved, and he seems concerned."
When it comes to answering questions, Broome said Underwood is candid in his responses.
"He has seemed to be very open, honest (and) willing to answer questions and willing to be put on the spot," she said.
Many Mercer employees appreciated Underwood's openness with the university's budget situation, Broome said.
"The information that he shared in the fall was not information that people had heard in the past," she said. "There's more about the administration of the university that we know now."
Broome said some faculty and staff still are holding out their judgments on Underwood.
"There's still some wait-and-see," she said. "I feel that people want to give him a fair shot. I think they have hopes that some issues will be resolved in the next year, especially with budgeting."
One of those issues is employee salaries. It's been about two years since they've received raises, she said.
Broome said Underwood did offer two extra paid days off as staff appreciation days, for which employees are thankful. One of Broome's co-workers wrote, "Underwood really rocks!" on a white board after learning about the second day off, she said.
Underwood said one of his goals in the next two years is to increase faculty salaries.
In November, the Georgia Baptist Convention officially voted to end its 173-year relationship with Mercer.
Since coming on board at the university, Underwood has said he is committed to keeping Mercer a Baptist university. In his time there, Underwood has worked aggressively to strengthen Mercer's ties with Baptist organizations across the country.
In September, the American Baptist Historical Society announced it was relocating its collection to Mercer's Atlanta campus. The Baptist History and Heritage Society also has said it would relocate its office to that campus.
In January, Underwood stood side-by-side with former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter at the announcement of a Celebration of a New Baptist Covenant. The celebration would engage Mercer with at least 40 other Baptist organizations, which are all members of the North American Baptist Fellowship, a group some people see as at odds with the more conservative Southern Baptist Convention.
Brown, Mercer's senior vice provost, said although he is excited about being involved with the New Baptist Covenant, Underwood's proactive involvement could potentially alienate some people who may otherwise support Mercer, such as pastors, churches and parents who side with the Southern Baptist Convention.
"I think people are a little cautious to see where it's all going to go," Brown said.
Underwood said Mercer's new Baptist connections have allowed the university to create more opportunities for students, such as participation in the creation of a new Baptist hymnal.
Over the past year, Underwood has held sessions with students, faculty, alumni and community leaders focusing on the creation of a 10-year strategic plan for the university.
So far, they've come up with a preliminary vision statement.
"We're going to spend some time this year really fine tuning a strategic plan," Underwood said.
He also hopes to continue to build a strong financial base, work on initiatives to retain and recruit faculty and continue to focus on student recruitment.
Larry Brumley, Underwood's chief of staff, suggested the university hasn't yet seen everything the president has to offer.
"A lot of what happens the first year you don't see because you're working on it," he said, referring to academic appointments, new academic programs and acquisitions of property. "Those take a fair amount of lead time."
Jim Bishop, one of the trustees who hired Underwood, said he has been pleased with Underwood's first year in office.
"He has worked tirelessly in an effort to make absolutely certain that all the momentum that had been in place over a period of years has not lessened at all," he said. "Mercer is blessed to have him at the helm.
"Kirby Godsey was not an easy act to follow, but he's doing it."

About the Property
600 sq foot Studio - Suite, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2)
Hale Honu means 'House of the Sea Turtle,' aptly named for the 'family' of turtles frequently seen cruising and foraging in the waters directly in front of the house (known locally as 'turtle cove'). This very special oceanfront home is perfectly situated to offer privacy and unobstructed views of the Kona coastline.
Please see our VIDEO TOUR OF HALE HONU through the 'links' found just under the rates table, near the bottom of this webpage. Hale Honu is a two-story, 4 bedroom, 3 bath, truly OCEANFRONT home with spectacular, unobstructed views of the ocean from every room of the home. Hale Honu is designed with an upstairs 3 bedroom/two bath main house, and a LARGE 1 BEDROOM COMPLETE STUDIO, WITH BATH, KITCHEN AND SEPARATE PRIVATE ENTRANCE.
This unique ocean front gated property is surrounded by a beautiful lava rock wall and borders Pahoehoe Beach Park (an oceanfront beach park with shaded sitting areas, grass and a small beach that affords easy access to the ocean and great snorkeling. With less than a three minute walk to Magic Sands (aka 'Disappearing Sands) State Beach Park, a sugar white sand beach popular for bodysurfing & boogie boarding, Hale Honu is the closest oceanfront home to the best beach within 5 miles of Kailua-Kona village.
On the garden/ground level is our complete PRIVATE SUITE with a separate, secured entrance, oceanfront private covered lanai and garden hammock, and private oceanfront sitting and dining area. The large (650+ square feet) living space includes a heavenly king-size bed romantically shrouded in privacy sheers, and a living-sitting room with comfortable tropical décor furnishings and small flat screen TV. Included with the studio suite is Wifi, laundry facilities, a room safe and security alarm system.
The suite has a complete kitchen with cook-top and refrigerator. The bathroom is luxuriously appointed with marble tile and glass block, and a large walk in shower containing dual shower heads, (for sharing of course!). Windows and sliders encompass all of the makai (ocean side) walls, so you can simply let the ocean air in, or step out and be right at the edge of 2500 miles of unbroken Pacific Ocean blue!
In late 2014 we remodeled the studio suite, installing a state of the art sound isolation system with a suspended ceiling and acoustical blocking technology. This has eliminated almost all transmitted sounds and footsteps from the floor above.
Our large hot tub also at the ocean's edge is a unique experience! The hot tub and BBQ are in an outdoor common area of the property, and shared with the main house guests.
Hale Honu is located just 3.5 miles south of the heart of Kailua-Kona village, and two miles north of the Keauhou beach shopping and cinema complex. Hale Honu is close to everything but is in a world of its own!
The grounds of the property are nicely landscaped and totally private, enclosed within six foot lava stone walls on three sides, opening to the Big Blue Pacific on the makai (ocean) side. There are many comfortable places to sit and bask outside in the sun, or relax in the shade of the palms and tropical greenery.
When the sea is calm, snorkelers can explore the abundant reef and arches directly in front of the house; the ocean can be entered and exited from the lava outcropping on site when the surf is low or you can also enter the ocean from Pahoehoe Beach, right next to Hale Honu. You will likely get a visit from our resident turtle family when snorkeling! All pictures of sea life on this website were taken in the waters right in front of Hale Honu. Pahoehoe beach park also has a large lava shelf with excellent tidal pools for exploring at low tide. Almost daily a large pod of spinner dolphins comes Hale Honu. Sometimes they are close enough to swim out to. During the winter months, the waters of West Kona, including offshore from Hale Honu, are frequented by humpback whales.
Ocean side padded chaise lounges are provided. We have a separate laundry room for your convenience, and provide you with beach towels, rice mats, beach chairs and umbrellas, coolers and some snorkeling gear and boogie boards.
We strive to make our homes and your experience in them unique and filled with the spirit of aloha. You'll find the home tastefully decorated, carefully maintained, and filled with lots of little extras (CD collection of Hawaiian music, binoculars, books on local history and cultural sites, etc.) Ipod/ smart phone compatible portable speakers are provided.
This home imbues a special feeling of Peace and Aloha to everyone who visits it, and it is with that Aloha that we welcome you!
Please Note... We do offer Hale Honu for vacation rental in three different ways:
* Entire Home (including studio for a full four bedrooms and three baths)

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: This is us, Peter and Darla. We bought our first oceanfront condo (KKSR # 186) in 2002, on our first visit to the Big Island. (The Big Island definitely hooked us after several trips to the other islands!) We have been blessed to now offer four homes in Kona, including Hale Honu which we purchased in 2004. There is something about this particular spot on the ocean that everyone feels when they first walk on the site...maybe the turtles living in the cove, the spinner dolphins swimming by daily, or the calving humpbacks off shore every winter, but for us it was totally love at first sight. We have been improving Hale Honu every year, with major remodeling completed in 2008. We have a semi-permanent presence on the Big Island managing our Bed & Breakfast in Kona, The Hawaiian Oasis. Both of us are physicians, with continuing practices in California. We have a large extended family, three grown children...a fine arts painter, a photographer/film maker, and a fashion designer, and a growing family of pugs! We employ a full time employee and a handy man service in Kona to take care of all maintenance issues when we are on the mainland.
Why the Owner Chose Kailua-Kona, HI, USA:
You'll know the first thirty seconds that you stand on the sea wall and gaze over the ocean why we chose Hale Honu. Amazing. Paradise. Perfect... were our first thoughts. We feel the same every day, even after eight years.
The Unique Benefits at this Studio:
Peacefulness. With the constant pulse of the ocean, palm fronds swaying and clacking in the off shore breezes, laying in a hammock or soaking in the spa under star studded skies a few feet from the breaking waves is 'just what the doctor ordered' for your 'cares of the world' to vanish. We all need 'down-time' when we can just breathe and let our bodies and minds relax and rejuvinate. If that is what you want in a real Hawaiian Vacation, you need look no further, you'll find it, and more, at Hale Honu.
