From South Hill to Sesame Street
For Scott Preston '80, success is all about relationships.
By Scott Livingston Beemer
Losing his job might have been the best thing to happen to Scott Preston's career. "I got into HBO right out of college," he recalls. Ten years later he was invited to work on a new show for HBO's fledgling comedy channel, which would later become Comedy Central after merging with a rival channel.
"I was very nervous," he admits. "I'd never done a TV show before. They said, 'Don't worry, none of us have either.'"
After 26 episodes, the show wasn't picked up, and Scott was told, after 10 years with HBO, that they no longer had a job for him. Then, serendipity struck. "A month later, they hired me as a freelancer for more money than I was making on staff."
Although he was working primarily as a producer at the time, Scott wasn't sure it was the best fit for him.
"I was just doing a bunch of stuff, not really sure where I wanted to end up," he says. "I was 30 at the time, so I was probably a little old to still be confused in that sense."
He landed his first TV directing gig, a children's variety show called Weinerville, after getting a call from a former colleague who had become an executive at Nickelodeon.
"I said, 'Wait a minute, I'm not a director,'" Scott remembers. "I was so scared I barely knew which seat to sit in in the control room, but I figured it out and thought it was pretty cool. I enjoyed it so much more than producing. As director, I can work closely with a producer and make something great, and at the end of the day I can walk home."
Since then, Scott has directed many shows for children and for adults, everything from educational programming to reality TV — The Chris Rock Show, Da Ali G Show with Sacha Cohen, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, The Montel Williams Show, The Emeril Lagasse Show, to name a few. Working as a freelancer has given him the flexibility to choose his projects and set his own schedule — up to a point.
"The funny thing about freelancing is that you either have no work at all and don't know where your next job is coming from — and you feel like you're never going to work again — or you're trying to do four things at once. But it's fulfilling because every day is different."
In 2010, Scott won his second Daytime Emmy Award in the category of outstanding direction in a children's series for his work with Sesame Street.
"I'm one of seven directors," Scott explains. "When the show gets nominated for the Emmy, it's one particular episode that gets submitted, but the entire team gets the Emmy."
Between Sesame Street's child performers, muppets and muppeteers, and all the necessary puppetry and recording equipment, a great deal of effort goes into directing every single shot.
"We do it a little bit at a time because we have to move so many pieces around — more than what you're seeing," Scott says. "It's a great challenge. It's also really fun. I walk out of that studio, and my jaw hurts from laughing."
In addition to entertaining and educating the preschoolers that make up its core demographic, the show also aims to keep parents interested. "That's the big mission," Scott says, "because we feel that kids learn so much more when their parents are engaged in what they're watching."
For Scott, who used to watch the early seasons of Sesame Street as a child, the show has stayed true to its roots, and that — plus the incredible talents of the performers — helps make the magic of the show so convincing. When young children walk onto the set to meet Elmo, Scott says, both the puppet and the performer, Kevin Clash, are in clear view.
"Kevin is this big, kind of imposing figure in a way, with his deep, baritone, strong voice. When he goes into the character, a kid will just sit there looking at the puppet the whole time — doesn't see Kevin at all." Scott even finds himself doing the same thing: "I'll walk up to the puppeteers to give them directions, and they've got the puppets in their hands up in the air, and they're standing right in front of me, and I'm talking to and looking at the puppets. And the puppet's talking back to me — sometimes with some rather colorful language," he laughs. "I barely talk to the actor. The illusion is complete."
In addition to Sesame Street, which shoots for two months out of the year, Scott has worked on many other shows in the past few years and has built an extensive résumé of different projects during his years as a freelance director. One of his most notable projects was directing The Daily Show (now known as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart), which he worked on from 1997 to 2000. In December 1998, the show's original host, Craig Kilborn, left in order to host The Late Late Show on CBS. In January 1999, Jon Stewart took over as host.
"Craig was the perfect pretty-boy anchor parody," Scott recalls. "When they decided to bring in Jon, we were concerned because Jon doesn't look or seem like a newsman. How could he be a parody of an anchorman? But Jon came in and turned it into something different, something quite phenomenal."
With Jon Stewart as host, The Daily Show began to move in a new direction. By the time Scott left the show in 2000, Stewart had developed a strong rapport with the cast and crew. Stewart's Daily Show also displayed a sharper focus on politics and current events, which would enter the national spotlight at the end of that year with the show's acclaimed coverage of the 2000 presidential election and its aftermath.
"He's also the sweetest guy in the world," Scott says of Stewart. "First thing he said to me was, 'Give me the names of all the crew guys.'"
Ultimately, says Scott, that kind of attitude is the key to success.
"It's all about relationships," he says. "Work with really good people, treat them decently, and give them encouragement and respect, and it shows on the screen."
With that principle driving his work, Scott finally created his own company five years ago: Preston TV, based in New York City.

Welcome to the deepest and darkest, yet most genuine part of who I am. How many times have I faked a smile? Too many to count.
This mood that I can't shake off is my most intimate relationship. The people around me don't understand, unless they have been there themselves. Just move on, be stronger, don't dwell, forget about the past, live in the present; all of these phrases repeated as though there is some simple solution to such devastation.
Despair is more than a word; it is a state of mind with sadness on overdrive. If I could just move on or forget about it all, I would have done it years ago. You must understand I have felt such guilt, sorrow, grief and terrible sadness for my entire life. When someone suggests to just change that about myself, means I can no longer identify with myself.
This state of mind literally becomes my identity. They say you are not your disorder. If depression is all you know, how can you be something else? How can you be someone that you are not? It's like asking me to put on a mask and then wondering why you can't see my face.
I identify with despair. I do not even know how to feel the emotion happiness. I genuinely do not know what it feels like. If I have a tiny glimpse of happiness, then I feel guilty for indulging in such frivolous acts. This guilt is a product of hypervigilance. This guilt is a product of observing the society around me. Some people might say you are just focusing on the negative, there is so much positive in this world. This may be true, but I ask, what are we doing to rid our world of negative?
When I look around me, at this world, I see sadness, evil prevailing over kindness, starvation, greed, disasters and mass amounts of torturing the human spirit. Majority of crime and evil not only exists, but also thrives.
A lot of times people look at depression as a weakness or someone who lacks will power. This is far from true. If it were truly a weakness, evolution would have seeded it out centuries ago. There is some reason why depression has evolved with the human condition. Depression is a means of solving problems. It's a coping skill of numbing all emotions so the individual does not feel happiness or sadness. It's a way of protection. It's a survival mechanism for the highly sensitive individual who literally relates to all suffering. The depressed mind and thought process becomes a very poor coping method of solving problems.
Asking me to not feel depressed is equivalent to asking me to care less about human suffering. I do not know all of the solutions to the world's problems, but I do know that we must do something to make it better. We must do something. I feel too often that humans just accept their situation as is and do not have a desire to make things better. They believe if it is not broken then do not fix it. With change comes opportunity. We should always be trying to improve our situation. Thus, as an individual with depression, I have the desire to want improvement in our society without the tools. I want to reach out to the starving child or homeless man in a way to help them.
I am not asking you to feel such sadness every day. I am asking for acceptance and for all to understand that depression is not a choice. No one would ever willingly decide to feel so much pain. People make rash judgments; they think since depression is not physical that it must not be real. However, mental illness is just as real as any physical illness because it is a medical condition. If you have felt depression at any time of your life, you know that it is impossible for you to just snap out of it.
For the people who do not struggle with depression, I ask for your acceptance and understanding. For the people who have struggled with depression, may you find solace, may you realize that no matter how lonely you feel, you are not alone, you are not the only one.

The antifreeze will mix in a thermosiphon system "just fine". That is how I put antifreeze in my cubs. Did 2 this spring and one last weekend. There are some caveats: Need to run the engine so there is some flow, won't work well if the temp is below freezing, the water may freeze once it hits the cold radiator core.
The problem with the tester may be a change in the floats or it may just be contamination and sediment on the floats. Washing after use may be a good idea.

Classic Rockers Dominate Billon Dollar Tour Revenue Club
Touring is a lucrative business for many acts these days. It just happens to be most lucrative for the likes of the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Madonna and Bon Jovi. Each of those acts have earned more than a billion dollars from touring since 1990.
These figures come courtesy of Billboard who also note, somewhat remarkably, that 15 of the Top 25 touring acts included feature artists who are now over 60 years old. Who said rock and roll was a young man's game?
Will the popularity of the Rolling Stones ever be diminished? While all good things come to an end eventually, not many acts will ever be able to pull off the impressive numbers that the Stones have over the last 24 years: Over 538 shows, the band has played to more than 19.6 million people, grossing more than $1.56 billion.
Although U2 played to more almost one million more people in comparison to the Stones, they did play eight less shows but still earned a very respectable $1.51 billion.
Bruce Springsteen played more shows than anyone else in the Top 5 -- 727 shows over the last 24 years. He has earned more than $1.1 billion for having played in front of approximately 15 million people.
Bon Jovi's concert attendance of 12.3 million bettered Madonna's by just under 3 million people over 578 shows, earning the band $1.03 billion.
The rest of the Top 25 list was dominated by classic rockers. Elton John is at No. 6 ($786 million), the Eagles at No. 10 ($702 million), the Police / Sting (No. 11, $556 million), Roger Waters at No. 12 with $547 million, Paul McCartney (No. 13, $505 million), Billy Joel at No. 14 with $499 million, Rod Stewart (No. 15, $497 million), Metallica land at No. 17 ($432 million), No. 18 belongs to Aerosmith with $417 million, Fleetwood Mac / Stevie Nicks (No. 24, $349 million) and last but not least in the No. 25 position: AC/DC with $337 million.

That brings Minnesota's total number of tornadoes for the year to 37.
The National Weather Service now says four tornadoes struck Minnesota on Saturday.
The weather service has determined that a tornado was responsible for storm damage in Mahtomedi (mah-toh-MEE'-dye) in the eastern Twin Cities.
Meteorologist Todd Krause says the total tornado count for the day will stand at four. That brings Minnesota's total number of tornadoes for the year to 37.
The three other tornadoes Saturday night occurred in Dakota County, in the southern metro. All four were rated EF-0 — the lowest rating for tornadoes — and no injuries were reported.
It's rare for tornadoes to hit Minnesota in November. The St. Paul Pioneer Press (http://bit.ly/XKbCaR ) reports since official records began in 1950, the state has seen only one other November tornado, in Kandiyohi (kan-dee-YOH'-hye) County on Nov. 1, 2000.

'Catching Fire' Barely Beats 'Iron Man 3' As Highest Grossing Film of 2013
Having the biggest opening weekend of the year wasn't enough to keep 'Iron Man 3' in the number one spot for the year, being surpassed last minute by the second film in the 'Hunger Games' franchise, 'Catching Fire'.
'Iron Man 3' left the box office with a grand total of $409 million at the domestic box office, a wide lead over the next film, 'Despicable Me 2', which came in at $368 million. But the later release 'Hunger Games' film was a quick success, not beating Tony Stark's opening weekend but having steady financial success and rave reviews. As of January 9th (Yes, that's in 2014, but you have to give later release film as much time at the box office as earlier released films) 'Catching Fire' has nudged past 'Iron Man 3' by almost a half million dollars, making it the highest grossing film of 2013 and the first time the highest grossing film centered around a female character since 'Titanic' with Kate Winslet.
Lionsgate Films is incredibly proud of their book-to-film series which, along with the $408 million brought in by the first 'Hunger Games', has become the first franchise whose first two films each broke $400 million. Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said,
The Hunger Games franchise continues to evolve into a truly global phenomenon. We will continue to grow the transformative Hunger Games franchise in the years to come even as we continue to develop a dynamic portfolio of premium new brands.
'Catching Fire' has also brought in $428.8 million internationally, bringing its overall total to $838.2 million. The final installment in the box trilogy, 'Mockingjay', is set to follow in the footsteps of Harry Potter and be split into two films, released in November of 2014 and 2015.
The US Box Office Top 10 for 2013
1. Catching Fire ($409.4 million)
2. Iron Man 3 ($409.0)
3. Despicable Me 2 ($368.0)
4. Frozen ($301.5)
5. Man of Steel ($291.1)
6. Monsters University ($268.5)
7. Gravity ($255.8)
8. Fast & Furious 6 ($238.7)
9. Oz: The Great and Powerful ($234.9)

Rangers hope to tie series with Caps
The New York Rangers broke through with a win in their first home game of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals and hope to even the best-of-seven set when they host the Washington Capitals in Wednesday's Game 4 at Madison Square Garden.
New York lost the first two games of this series in D.C., dropping a 3-1 decision in Game 1 before losing the second contest 1-0 in overtime.
However, the sixth-seeded Rangers were able to cut the deficit to two games to one on Monday, as they notched a 4-3 win over the visiting Capitals. The back- and-forth battle was ultimately decided by Derek Stepan's go-ahead goal with 6:25 remaining in the third period and New York held on for the win from there.
The Rangers' offense came to life after scoring just one total goal over the first two games of the series. Derick Brassard led the way with a goal and two assists, while Brian Boyle got back on the scoresheet with a goal and an assist for New York, which converted just 1-of-6 tries on the power play but killed off a late penalty to Brad Richards to secure the win.
Arron Asham also lit the lamp for the Rangers, who received a 28-save effort from Henrik Lundqvist and beat Braden Holtby four times on 30 shots.
Crisp passing in the offensive zone led to the deciding tally. New York's Ryan McDonagh moved the puck from the point to the left corner, where Mats Zuccarello quickly fired a cross-ice feed behind the net to Rick Nash. Nash sent the puck on net from the boards, and it found Stepan's stick for a perfect deflection.
"It was a great pass. I didn't do much, I just went to the net and put my stick on the ice," Stepan said.
Washington's Alex Ovechkin drew a penalty on Richards with 1:54 to go, and the Capitals pulled Holtby for a 6-on-4 advantage that went for naught.
"We took too many penalties," Ovechkin said. "The blame is on us."
Ovechkin led the NHL with 32 goals during the regular season, but he's managed just one goal and one assist in three games of this series so far. The superstar winger has 31 goals and 30 assists for 61 points over 54 career playoff games.
Washington hopes to rebound Wednesday with a win, which would set up a potential series-clinching contest when the clubs meet for Game 5 in D.C. on Friday.
The Rangers got a key player back on the ice Monday in defenseman Marc Staal, who returned from a 29-game absence due to a serious eye injury and had 17:17 worth of ice time.
New York also could get forward Ryane Clowe back in Game 4 after he sat out the last four games with an undisclosed injury. He participated in a full- contact practice on Tuesday and could see his first action tonight since playing in New York's second-to-last game of the regular season.
Clowe was acquired from San Jose at the trade deadline and posted three goals and five assists in 12 games with the Rangers.
These two clubs are familiar foes in the postseason of late, as this is the fourth time in the past five years they have met. The Capitals took the first two matchups, but the Rangers won a seven-game series in the conference semifinals last year.
Washington has won four of the seven all-time playoff series between these two clubs, but the Rangers took two of three from the Capitals in the regular season

Code: public function dns_zone_get_all($session_id, $primary_id) { global $app; if(!$this->checkPerm($session_id, 'dns_zone_get')) { $this->server->fault('permission_denied', 'You do not have the permissions to access this function.'); return false; } $sql = "SELECT origin FROM dns_soa WHERE xfer = 'linode'"; $all = $app->db->queryAllRecords($sql); return $all; } Currently I have the above function added to the remoting.inc.php file, naturally everytime I update to a new version of ISPConfig my changes are lost. And due to the uniqueness of the SQL query, I doubt anyone else would want this added permanently to the ISPConfig API. Would it be possible to have a separate file for API functions that would be untouched by updates?

Howard Miller brauchte ein neues Print oder Verpackung Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 88 Designs von 27 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
This is a book containing 101 short stories of situations which could be viewed as difficult/stressful but can also be looked at as an opportunity. In each case when looking at it differently lessons are learned.
Fulcrum Point http://www.fulcrumpointpartners.com
For 5 years or so I have sent out emails every 2 to 3 weeks - they are short emails I entitled soundbites with the subject of the email as well (some examples of the titles of my soundbites: Rushing to Yoga, Donna Summer Has No Rhythm, I Couldn't Find Parking Because of the Toilet Sale, Let It Go and It Will Come to You, Letting Go of My Entitlement, Lost in the Attic).
I realized these should all be contained in a book.
Each soundbite is on average 200-400 words and this book will have 101 soundbites.
The soundbites tend to be a combination of whismical, funny, introspective, optimistic and self deprecating.
The general theme is shifting difficult situations to positive opportunities.
There are always 3 lessons in each story. (to see some examples go to the download page on my website).
The purpose of this book will be:
something to represent me to help me get more speeches
something to sell to possible clients and the general public.
My company is called Fulcrum Point. The fulcrum is the lever on a see saw. The tagline for my company is shifting the balance in your favor.
- The title and subtitle (You're Full of Shift - 101 Stories of Shift)
- my name - Howard Miller
- a picture which represents how someone could be full of shift!
- don't use the word "soundbite"
- don't use my company name or logo (Fulcrum Point - logo is on my website, unless you think its vital, I'm open to different opinions!)

31243, Hymns, Let the Holy Spirit Guide, no. 143
1. Let the Holy Spirit guide;
Let him teach us what is true.
He will testify of Christ,
Light our minds with heaven's view.
2. Let the Holy Spirit guard;
Let his whisper govern choice.
He will lead us safely home
If we listen to his voice.
3. Let the Spirit heal our hearts
Thru his quiet, gentle pow'r.
May we purify our lives
To receive him hour by hour.

There are two > problems: > 1) The connection pool will compare the isolation level it has > stored for the connection with the value returned from > Connection.getTransactionIsolation() each and every time someone > requests a new connection from the pool. > 2) The users of the connection pool (ab)use it to avoid having to keep > track of their current connection. So each time a query needs to be > executed a call to the connection pool's getConnection() method is > made. Getting a connection from the connection pool like this also > means that a new PreparedStatement must be prepared each time. > The net result is that each query results in the following sequence: > getConnection() > getTransactionIsolation() --> roundtrip + lookup in server's statement cache > prepareStatment() --> roundtrip + lookup in server's statement cache > executeQuery() --> roundtrip > Arguably this is a "user error" but when suggesting this I'm kindly > informed that this works "just fine" with other datbases (such as > PostgreSQL and ORACLE). > The reason why it works is that these databases do statement caching > in the driver.

1st quarter: LEXOTAN FOR SALE, This week essentially marks the end of the regular season for the small-school girls basketball teams in the area, and there isn't a lot left to play for. Mediapolis and Notre Dame are the two SEI Superconference divisional champions, and will meet for the second straight year to decide the conference championship on Saturday in what should be a dandy matchup, online buy LEXOTAN without a prescription. There is still some divisional placement to be sorted out before the conference regular-season ends, Kjøpe LEXOTAN på nett, köpa LEXOTAN online, especially for second and third in each division. New London still has a shot to finish second in the South, while Winfield-Mount Union and Pekin are battling for second in the North, LEXOTAN dangers.
2nd quarter: There are a handful of girls teams you don't want to face right now, Buy LEXOTAN online cod, and one of them is the New London. The Tigers have won seven straight and, with Sami Koontz finally healthy and performing at a high level, New London is putting a scare into Central Lee for second in the South Division, LEXOTAN FOR SALE. The Tigers toiled around .500 most of the season before their recent winning streak, but they are now playing like a team that returned five starters, my LEXOTAN experience. This is what I expected in the preseason and, Online buying LEXOTAN, even though they face Notre Dame Tuesday that could very well put the Tigers third in the division, there should be plenty of confidence going forward.
3rd quarter: We've begun "brainstorming" our All-Hawk Eye basketball teams, is LEXOTAN addictive, and even though the ballots will likely be sent next week, Where to buy LEXOTAN, I can already say with confidence these will be the most difficult teams I've been a part of selecting. I also will say good players are going to be left off, as is the case every year, buy LEXOTAN online no prescription, and it's not a slight on candidates. LEXOTAN FOR SALE, When the spots are limited in number, tough choices have to be made. LEXOTAN forum, The other dilemma we run into every year is the definition of "Player of the Year." Is it the best player, or the player who means most to their team. I know we've selected them using both criteria, what is LEXOTAN. It's our highest honor for an individual, Order LEXOTAN online overnight delivery no prescription, so naturally, there is hand-wringing involved in that discussion.
4th quarter: The Class 1A and 2A boys basketball pairings will be released Wednesday, doses LEXOTAN work, and no one seems real comfortable with the setup this year, LEXOTAN without a prescription, and not just in the small schools. The IHSAA has decided to go back to the "pod" system, and is going to try to play district doubleheaders at one site, LEXOTAN FOR SALE. The biggest complaint I'm hearing is what the reward is for being a No. 1 seed, especially if there is a chance it won't host a game. Danville and Notre Dame will both be No. 1 seeds in 1A and 2A, respectively, yet neither is guaranteed a home game. LEXOTAN FOR SALE, Apparently, the postseason changes are part of a bigger change down the road, as the state is comtemplating the elimination of the state quarterfinal round at Wells Fargo Arena, and instead doubling up a 1A/2A "state quarterfinal" at a venue such as the U.S. Cellular Center, McLeod Center, etc. In a sense, it is what Illinois dubs a "Super-sectional" game. The winners would then create a final four at Wells Fargo. However, this move appears to be a couple years away.
Where I'll be this week (with BC Moore projections): Monday (Notre Dame at Keokuk G, ND by 2); Friday (Notre Dame at Danville G/B; ND girls by 27, Danville boys by 8); Saturday (SEISC Girls Shootout, Notre Dame at Mediapolis; Mediapolis by 10).

A Delaware jury has ruled that Apple violated three patents owned by MobileMedia Ideas LLC. (MMI), a patent holding company that was created by Nokia, Sony and MPEG-LA.
The original complaint, filed in March of 2010, alleged that Apple's iPhone used technology protected by fourteen patents held by MobileMedia Ideas. However, all but three patents, 6070068, 6253075, and 6427078, were removed from the suit before it began. MobileMedia Ideas describes these patents as relating to "incoming/current call processing", "incoming call rejection", and "image capture/transfer."
Though Apple dismissed the complaint as invalid "due to obviousness," the jury clearly disagreed. They took just four hours to make their decision after sitting in on a one-week trial, to side with MMI's claim that they had "suffered and will continue to suffer damages and irreparable injury." It is not yet clear what that will translate to in dollars, but MobileMedia CEO Larry Horn told Bloomberg that the amount should be "substantial."
Of course, he may be slightly biased in his assessment. A trial will be scheduled to determine the financial outcome of the suit.

Is Japan on the Verge of a Recession?
Japan's economy shrank last quarter and could do so again in the current quarter, which would meet the common definition of a recession. The WSJ's Jacob Schlesinger has the details.

I have spent most of the past two weeks in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, which is part of the Channel Islands. The Islands are a British Crown Dependency but not part of the UK. Geographically they are nearer to France than England. "Enough of the geography", I hear you shout, "where's the cake?" Here it is:
In the independent bookshop I found local cookbooks featuring Guernsey traditional recipes. It struck me, on browsing these, that Guernsey has a fondness for apples and cake. Suddenly I felt right at home!
Cider cake caught my attention because I had a hankering for sultanas. In the same way that you soak dried fruit in brandy for a Christmas cake, you soak sultanas in cider for this cake. Here they are sitting in a bath of fizzy cider:
There are options too – the recipe notes that you can bake one large cake or cupcakes. The rustic nature of the ingredients – sultanas, brown sugar, cinnamon etc made me opt for a large cake. I added my twist to the cake, which will probably have the traditionalists seething, with a vanilla custard buttercream topping. A lot of buttercream topping.....
The aroma of the cake whilst cooking deserves a mention! It was a lovely warm appley smell with a hint of spice. It's what I'd term a rustic, farmhouse-y sort of cake. Much as I love fancy cakes this is the sort of thing that really gets my taste buds salivating!
Here's the cake fresh from the oven:
Here it is before it got 'buttercreamed':
On eating the cake we all agreed that it was the best cake we'd had for a long time...it's that good! It's light and moist but also crumbly and oh so comforting. I think it would be delicious without the buttercream but, for my taste, the buttercream added an extra layer of loveliness.
For the cake:
180g sultanas
150ml dry cider
250g soft brown sugar
180g unsalted butter
Zest of one lemon (optional, I left it out)
2 eggs
250g self raising flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the custard buttercream (optional):
150ml milk (whole or semi skimmed)
125g caster sugar
2 egg yolks
175g unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
How to make:
- Soak the sultanas in the cider for at least an hour before making the cake. This will give the sultanas time to absorb some cider and become fat and juicy.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Line a deep 20cm round cake tin. You can, if you prefer, make cupcakes. I'm not sure how many you will get because I made the 20cm cake.
- Cream together the butter and sugar. This will take quite a while as brown sugar is coarser than caster sugar. Don't skimp as this is an important stage; using my kitchenaid at a medium speed it took about 10 minutes until I had something light and smooth.
- If you're using it, add the lemon zest and stir in.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Fold in the flour and cinnamon.
- Stir in the sultanas and cider. The sultanas won't completely absorb the cider so make sure you pour in all the cider too!
- Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for approximately 1 hour or until a skewer comes out cleanly. Mine took 1 hour 10 minutes. If you are making cupcakes instead, check after 20 minutes.
- Leave to cool on a wire rack. You can make the cake a day before serving it but I recommend making the buttercream on the day.
- To make the buttercream: place the milk and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl and then pour the milk onto the yolks whisking all the time.
- Return the custard mix to the saucepan and, stirring all the time, cook over a medium heat just until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Take your time over this – if you have too fierce a heat your eggs might scramble!
- Pour into a bowl and leave to cool slightly.
- Beat the butter until it is fluffy and light.
- Gradually beat in the now room temperature custard to the butter.
- Finally beat in the vanilla extract.
- Spread over the top of the cake or cupcakes.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, have separated, with Shriver moving out of their Brentwood mansion while the two determine the next step in their 25-year marriage.
Shriver has been residing apart from the actor-turned-politician for the last few weeks. The former first couple confirmed the separation in a joint statement released Monday after questions from The Times.
"This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us," the statement read. "After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer, we came to this decision together. At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship.

Just This Once (#1); Just Good Friends (#2); Just For Now (#3)
Author: Rosalind James
Publisher: Self-published
So originally, I had planned on writing a separate review for each of the books in the series – but then I figured that since I managed to read all 3 of them (the 4th wasn't available at the time), in the space of about 5 days, that maybe reviewing them together would work.
I discovered Rosalind James when her name popped up as an opportunity to host a promo blitz for the release of the 4th book in the series (Just for Fun) – but I decided that I wanted to read the other three so that I could read the 4th one (since I don't like promo'ing books that I haven't read/don't plan to read).
Just This Once
Everyone needs to be rescued sometimes.
Everyone but Hannah Montgomery, that is. She just needs a vacation. Three weeks in New Zealand to sort out her life, figure out what she wants, seems just right. Oh, and to relax. She should definitely put that on the agenda. She certainly isn't looking for a fling with a professional rugby player, no matter how attractive he is. Hannah doesn't do casual. But maybe just this once. . .
As much as he's shared with Hannah, Drew Callahan has kept one very big secret. And learning the truth, now that she's back home again, has made Hannah warier than ever. Drew knows that she's right for him. But how can he convince her to let down her guard enough to explore what they could have together?
This first book in the series started off with a kick – I have to admit that I am a sucker for the knight rescuing the damsel in distress theme – in this case, Drew was most definately a life-saving knight (even in all-black – no laughing at my bad puns please), and Hannah needed his help. I thought that Rosalind was able to do a good job with the short-fused tension between the two of them – and loved that there was a quick resolution and that the story continued to grow. The long-distance part of the story was hard for me to accept – not because it was badly written but because I couldn't see myself in a situation like that – even though I have lots of friends who have done it (heck, my parents did it in the time before emails – egads…yes, there was such a time). I learnt quite a bit about the All Blacks while reading this – having grown up in a country that played the All Blacks on a regular basis, I loved watching them do the Haka before the games.
Just Good Friends
Some bets were made to be lost.
Kate Lamonica isn't Koti James's type. Too small. Too dark. And heaps too much work. So it's an easy bet that he can be her friend for six weeks without making a move on her, no matter what his mates would have said.
Kate can't believe she's made the bet at all. New Zealand had seemed like the perfect escape from the stalker who'd threatened first her peace of mind, and then her life. She certainly doesn't need any more trouble. Why on earth has she agreed to spend time with a Maori rugby player who's far too handsome and charming for his own good–and knows it?
But there's more than one game Koti's good at playing…
Ahhh, the playboy who falls for a woman that sees past the brash bravado. I think of the 3 books that I read in the series, Kate is my favorite female lead. There is just something ballsy about her (but don't worry, I won't say what). She reminds me the most of me, if I was going to try and see aspects of myself in characters (which I did in weird ways sometimes). Unfortunately, I haven't found my Koti yet (or my Drew or Finn, for a matter of fact). But at the same time, I can't say that Koti was my favorite guy out of the three – I think that award might have to go to Finn in #3 (see below). I just had a hard time connecting with him as a character – of all the characters in the series so far, I think he was one of the weakest ones developed. Their love story was cute however.
Just For Now
There's no place like home . . .
For teacher Jenna McKnight, nothing spells "heartbreak" like finding her husband with somebody else–in her bed. It's clearly time to reinvent herself. A new body, a new city, and a new job later, she's done just that. The beautiful Auckland villa isn't really her home, though. Finn Douglas and his kids aren't really her family, however much she wishes they were. And playing house can be a dangerous game.
Rugby star Finn Douglas is just looking for a temporary nanny and housekeeper. Not a girlfriend, and definitely not a wife. He can't resist Jenna's cooking, it's true. Who knew he'd have so much trouble resisting her? He wants to do what's right for his kids. But waiting is so hard . . .
Ok, I am going to be extremely biased and say that Finn is probably my favorite male character so far in the series. There was just something strong about him, yet sweet at the same time. He kind of reminds me of the guy that The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) plays in the Game Plan. Large gruff exterior, but a heart of gold on the inside. I especially loved his interaction with his kids.
One thing that I didn't touch on in the previous reviews was the reoccurring characters – I liked how Kate and Hannah both made continued appearances in the books. But even better was the one All Black (although I am completely blanking on his name ahhh!!!!) and his wife who appeared in all 3 of the books, and were like the stability couple (for lack of a better word).
But enough of my ramblings – in case you can't tell, I enjoyed all three of books, and would rate them as 3.5-4 overall, but going to round up to 4. I can't wait to read the 4th book now that it has been released. Oh and one more thing – I have to go squee over the covers – they are brilliant – some of the best covers I have seen on self-pub'd work – these covers are part of the reason why I made the decision to read the books – because I could tell from looking at them, that there was a level of professionalism that I don't always see.

The only disappointment was the cooking time he gave in the recipe. The recipe says 20-25 minutes and mine hadn't set at that point so I gave my brownies an extra 10 minutes whilst worrying they wouldn't be squidgy anymore. You'll see from the photos that I didn't achieve set brownies but more a chocolate pudding which - don't get me wrong – was absolutely divine! I'm just telling you this as next time I'd probably give them 40 minutes or so in the oven, but I know ovens vary so you will just have to judge it for your oven.
The flavour combination is perfect and all the flavours and textures are distinct at different times. It would be very difficult to go back to a plain chocolate brownie after these!
I served them freshly baked with clotted cream ice cream for dessert but they would be just as nice at room temperature with some cream or on their own.
250g plain chocolate (70% cocoa), broken into pieces
250g unsalted butter
5 eggs
350g dark muscovado sugar
2 tablespoons rum (dark rum is best)
150g plain flour
125g pecan nuts, roughly chopped
4 balls stem ginger, finely chopped
To serve: ice cream or cream
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Line a brownie pan (30cm x 20cm) with baking paper.
- In a bowl over a simmering pan of water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water, melt the chocolate and butter. Stir occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little.
- Beat together the eggs and sugar until well combined. As the sugar is heavy and granular the mixture won't appear light and fluffy in the way that it would with caster sugar.
- Beat in the melted chocolate and butter and the rum.
- Fold in the flour.
- Fold in the pecan nuts and ginger.
- Pour (it will be very runny) into the prepared tin.
- Bake for a minimum of 25 minutes but it might take a lot longer. Ideally I think mine should have had 45-50 minutes but ovens vary so take care. When a skewer inserted into the middle only has a little residue on it, I'd say that's done.
- Stand the brownie pan on a wire rack and leave to cool.
- Cut into squares.
- Either serve warm or at room temperature.
- Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

The American Farm Bureau Federation has selected a group of 10 young agricultural leaders to participate in the sixth class of the Partners in Agricultural Leadership honors program.
Selected to participate in the 2011 program are:
Rachel Bina, North Dakota; Jonathan Cavin, Virginia; Travis Gebhart, South Dakota; Megan Gravois, Louisiana; Heather Hill, Indiana; Theresa Lawton, Massachusetts; Hilary Maricle, Nebraska; Jason Rodgers, South Carolina; Malissa Fritz Schentzel, Minnesota; and Misty Wall, Utah.
Farm Bureau's PAL program is carried out with support from the Monsanto Company, Farm Credit and AFBF. It is designed to strengthen participants' leadership skills and put their abilities to work for the benefit of agriculture.
"We're pleased to announce the members of the sixth PAL class and we look forward to the contributions they will make as individuals and collectively to strengthen American agriculture and tell the farmer's story," said AFBF President Bob Stallman. "Each of the previous PAL classes has been an outstanding success. Thanks to continued partnerships with Monsanto and Farm Credit, we are confident this class also will prove to be a stellar experience for participants."
The PAL program provides young farmers and ranchers with the opportunity to hone their leadership skills after they have served as AFBF Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee members/officers or participated in competitive YF&R events.
"Another benefit of this program is that it often serves as a bridge between YF&R and other agricultural leadership roles," Stallman said.
By participating in PAL, the young leaders will enrich their skills in problem solving, persuasion and consensus building. At the same time, they will be deepening their knowledge of specific agricultural and public policy issues.
Upon completion of the PAL program, participants will be fully equipped to represent agriculture in the media, on speaking circuits or in legislative activities. PAL graduates serve as "advocates for agriculture," telling the farmer's story and promoting awareness on issues important to those in the farm-to-consumer food chain.
State Farm Bureaus nominate applicants for the PAL program. Applicants must be "Sweet 16" finalists in the national YF&R Discussion Meet; top 10 finalists in the YF&R Achievement Award or Excellence in Agriculture Award competitions; former members of the AFBF YF&R committee or former state YF&R committee chairs.
Visit http://www.fb.org/index.php?action=programs.yfr.pal for more information on the PAL program.

Grant Green
Larry Young who like most organists originally sounded close to Jimmy Smith, took a big step away from the organ's dominant influence on this adventurous and colorful set, which was his debut as a leader for Blue Note. Performing with a quartet also including tenor saxophonist Sam Rivers, guitarist Grant Green and drummer Elvin Jones, Young performs four of his originals plus Green's "Plaza de Toros." Other than the blues "Backup," the music is fairly complex, grooving in its own fashion and showing that Young was quite aware of John Coltrane's modal excursions. ~ Scott Yanow

A Butler man will continue to be held in the county prison for the next three months after being sentenced in county court on charges of sexually assaulting two minors.
Ronald Bombara, 50, was sentenced to 1� to 3 years in prison by Judge Thomas Doerr. He was given time served of 15 months, and will remain held for the remaining three months before he is paroled.
His parole will be followed by two years of county probation, and he will be required to register as a sexual offender for 25 years and pay for court costs.
Bombara previously pleaded guilty to one consolidated count of felony unlawful contact with a minor and one consolidated count of misdemeanor indecent assault of a person less than 13 years old on Nov. 7.
He was initially charged with felony aggravated indecent assault of a person less than 13 years old, two counts each of felony unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors, misdemeanor indecent assault and indecent exposure after an incident on Sept. 25, 2016, in Clay Township. The remaining charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon on the floor of a local wine store specializing in Italian wines. From time to time, I get in there and roll up my sleeves and sell some boxes, it's really a lot of fun. Then when things slow down, I attack a section or two and try to make sense of the set. Back in the old days, when I was a retail rat, re-sets were a part of weekly life. So it is second nature to me. Yesterday I took on the Brunello and SuperTuscan section. It seems some of the distributor's salespeople don't know a Brunello from a Tignanello, fancy that?
OK, so this will be a short rant followed by some wine notes. Warning: This is not a short post.
I was really concerned to see folks in the store looking to buy wines, expensive wines, and they were having a hard time finding the wines that correlated with the shelf talker. When I got down and looked with a couple of customers, I even was having a hard time finding the wines. But now it is all in order. That will last about 2 days. It's really a shame, because the salespeople who just throw a wine in any old place really do a disservice to many people. First, to the consumer, making it hard for them to find the wine. Secondly, to the hard working, never-take-a-vacation store owners, who invest money in product, only to see it be merchandised not in a user-friendly way. Let's see, we'll just put an Amarone in the Barolo section, where there is a hole. Or let's put a Sangiovese in with the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo section. Thirdly, the salesperson is doing a disservice to their employer and their importer and their winemakers, because the wines get lost and all that hard work getting the wine to the front line gets hidden in a bunker, never to see the light of day. It has been like this for as long as I have been in the business, but it really is a primitive problem, one that online retailers don't have to contend with. And friends of mine, who would rather hunt on-line than in-bins, don't spend their money on wines we all have worked so hard to get out there.
Anyway, we just have to keep going back and setting it right. And that's one of the things we do, when we be choppin' in the woodshed.
Now for the wines.
I did have a number of pleasurable moments with customers. People came up to me and said things like, "I want to buy a case of wine, give me what you like to drink," or "I don't care how much it costs, give me some big reds," and " I just got back from Italy and I want to know more about the wines of Campania, Basilicata and Apulia." Music to my ears.
These five were some of my go-to wines this weekend. The store is like this wonderful artist's palate with all these colors (flavors) and tons of folk wanting us to paint 'em a picture. Can do. Good feeling. Visceral. Selling. Hunting. Bagging the catch. Yeah!
Brunello di Montalcino – Castiglion del Bosco
I put this wine in many hands for a couple of reasons. First, the wine is drinkable and accessible. So if folks want to try a Brunello, this is a great gateway Brunello. It tastes Tuscan, it has healthy fruit, it is not excessively expensive and it is really a nicely balanced wine. I met Enologist Cecilia Leoneschi at the Merano Wine Festival in November. She is taking on the old men in Montalcino and holding her own. I admire the owners for giving her rein. Cecilia brings her perspective to Brunello. That is, for me, a lighter hand, letting the grape come through, not wrestling it to the ground, but rather, gliding it into the bottle. One to watch for in the years ahead, Cecilia is young and in for the long haul.
Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro from Tenuta Pederzana
You cannot do better with a plate of salumi than with this wine. Chill it up a little bit, and start your engines. From the Grasparossa grape, I took a bottle over to a chef from Emilia-Romagna the other day. Now this guy has known me for years, but has rarely if ever acknowledged my presence in his world. When I handed the bottle to his son to give to him, you'd think I was his long lost cousin. His eyes lit up, he smiled, he liked me he really, really, liked me. I owe it all to this friendly little Lambrusco.
Get yourself hooked up with a Lambrusco like this. It takes the snob off the table. It's subtle and bold, delicate and a romp. It's a serious wine that laughs at itself. Go get you some.
Vermentino Vinga "U Munte" from Colle dei Bardellini - Riviera Ligure del Ponente
Long title for a white wine. I had a gent who was looking for a white with character, didn't care how much it cost. "Hit me with your best shot," was his challenge. I recounted my recent trip to the region, pulled it from the top shelf and handed it to him. "Take this home and don't tell too many people I told you about this wine," I said. He countered with the inevitable "Why?"
What can I say? They don't make a lot? True. We don't get a lot? True again. No, I had another motive.
I want most of it for myself. There is something about my attraction for this region that recharges me on the wine trail in Italy. It's like a new Italy has just risen with the new day sun. It's a revelation, it's a wonder, and the wine embodies all that energy. All for under $20. You open the bottle and all of Liguria opens up with it. Fragrances, herbs, salt, high altitude old-growth, perfume, richness and serenity.
Re Manfredi Terre del Svevi Basilicata Bianco
While we were taking bottles off the top shelf, I also handed this bottle to the same gentleman. Where in the world of wine do you have the paradox of a landscape like Basilicata? Then take white grapes that were born and raised in parts of Italy where German is the mother tongue. Muller Thurgau and Traminer, hijack and sequester them in deep, dark, Basilicata. It is cold in Basilicata in January, but the grapes have found their winter home. There is fruit and that reminds me of aromatic West Coast whites from California, Oregon and Washington. There is forbidding landscape filled with rocks and stones and pumice and all sorts of impenetrable minerality. And the wine picks it up as the vine squeaks through the cracks in the earth. I have tried this wine with all sorts of food and am looking forward to the day when I taste it with cooking from someone's aunt or grandmother from Potenza or Matera or Rionero.
Cadetto Rosso Nero d'Avola from Tenuta La Lumia in Licata, Sicily
The winery could be someone's dream of a winery in Old California. Mine. But it is firmly rooted in Old Sicily.
This is a wine that has going on, underground, all sorts of mineral wealth. If it were in Texas, they'd probably strip mine it and be done with it, git us some Hummer fuel. But this is Sicily and that won't happen. All I can really say about this wine is that when I open it and taste it, it makes me happy. It fires up all my synapses relating to some Sicilian-well-being molecules that reside within these mortal walls. I can taste the wine right now, there's cherry and salt and rare meat and pomegranate and orange peel and Idiazabal and Mimolette and Canestrato. Who needs food? Just a little hard bread and one of the aforementioned cheeses- Happiness in Paradise.
Tomorrow, we head into snow and slush and delayed planes and Manhattan gridlock and more wonderful wines from the wine trail in Italy.

American Honda Motor Co. has recently debuted a small but soon-to-grow collection of apparel that was inspired by the cars, bikes and scooters of the automaker's glory days of the 1970s and 1980s.
They offered this insight (get it, Honda's Insight? ha!):
"Honda is excited to celebrate its heritage by recreating styles and accessories from the past," said Steve Center, vice president of American Honda's national marketing operations. "We hope that fans of Honda and vintage clothing will celebrate with us through the Honda Heritage Clothing Collection. American Honda was founded in Los Angeles in 1959, and the fact that these pieces are being designed and produced by partners in Los Angeles is a perfect fit for these historic pieces."
The initial items to be offered include a selection of three tee shirt designs that will feature the heritage-inspired logo from Honda's 1959 storefront and logo, a graphic featured on the 1974 Honda Civic sales brochure and a page from a 1973 Civic hatchback catalog. These tee shirts will be priced at approximately $40 each. Future Honda Heritage Clothing Collection items may include cafe racer leather jackets, nylon racing jackets, windbreakers, vests and casual wear.
This got us thinking about some of the other automakers who are both celebrating and cashing in on their heritage. We've pulled together a few to give you an idea of the wide range available.
As you can see above, Dodge has a nice selection of merchandise that takes us back to the good old days, at Dodge Life.
Volkswagen has their Nostalgic line on the VW DriverGear website.
Fiat has barely set foot back into this country, and they're already here in full merchandising force, even offering a Bocce lawn bowling set!
Ford has a great variety of materials in The Ford Collection – they even offer a wonderful line of vintage reproduction posters and advertising art prints.
Chevrolet has the Heritage section of their online ChevyMall, where you can find officially licensed clothing, collectibles and even bar stools.
The Jaguar website sports a nice selection of Heritage merchandise that features vintage Jaguar branding.
The Lotus Originals online store splits its surprising amount of merchandise into four categories: Original, Heritage, Performance, Lifestyle.
While they don't have much in the way of heritage-inspired clothing or accessories, Nissan does offer a neat 40th anniversary Z-car poster.
And posh Bentley offers some lovely Historic scale models.
Why not do a little online digging to see if your favorite current automaker offers anything to allow you to celebrate their past?
