GENOA - Down the homestretch of Sterling's 60-54 sectional semifinal victory over Lutheran, Stephanie Kester passed up open look after open look.
The senior sharpshooter was 8-for-10 for her team-high 24 points at that point and had tied the program's record for trifectas in a game. It had to have been difficult to back off the hammer, right?
"It wasn't too hard," Kester said. "I knew what we were supposed to do: hold onto the ball and get good possessions and take time."
"It's not hard when you're a smart basketball player," Sterling coach Julie Schroeder said. "We knew if we held onto the ball, they couldn't score. We've grown up a lot in the last 3 weeks."
Kester was 5-for-5 in the first half, helping Sterling (21-12) to a 28-18 lead at the break of the Class 3A Genoa-Kingston sectional semi. But Lutheran (22-7) wasn't going to shoot 23 percent (7-for-32 in the first half, including 1-for-17 in the first period) forever.
The Crusaders used a 13-0 surge in less than 3 minutes to turn a 41-27 Sterling lead into a one-point game in the closing minute of the third. But 5-foot-11 Sterling forward Kiarra Harris spun into the lane and found Kester just left of the circle. Unmarked, she buried her sixth 3-ball.
That triggered a 7-0 Sterling burst, as Kaitlyn Bauer hit two free throws, then scored off a slick block-to-block pass from Harris to make it 48-40 with 6:12 to play.
"We did some really strange things during that 13-0 run, and I just kept envisioning the last game, that we did the same thing: built a big lead and then let them back in," said Schroeder, referring to a Dec. matchup in the Dixon tournament in which the Warriors squandered a nine-point lead after the third. "That's really gutsy on our kids' part, to come back from a run like that, and I don't think they could've done that 2 months ago."
The Crusaders committed just two turnovers in the game, the second downright costly as they trailed 54-48 with about 3 minutes to play. Rachel Konieczki, who scored 18 of her game-high 26 in the second half, lost her dribble to Kester, who immediately looked down the floor.
Kester moved it ahead to Gabby Sandoval, who relayed it to Bauer for two of her 12 points. Two passes. Two dribbles. Five seconds. One dagger.
"I said, 'Hey, if we can run, by all means, let's do it. Let's just make sure we finish,'" Schroeder said. "But if they're back and we can run our offense and get good shots, let's do that.
"Really coachable tonight. They listened to everything we talked about."
Sophomore point guard Sandoval blanketed Konieczki and helped hold her to 10-for-26 shooting, six of those points coming on her only two 3s in the closing minutes. On the other end, Sandoval hit four straight free throws to put the victory on ice.
"Coach just told me to take a deep breath, soft touch, and they'll go in," Sandoval said.
Sandoval dished out five assists. Harris only scored three points, but handed out three assists to go with her 18 rebounds and two blocks.
"Tonight really epitomized the concept of playing together," Schroeder said. "Kiarra only had three points, but she was huge in every other aspect of the game."
Sterling enjoyed a 45-24 rebounding advantage. The Warriors seized an 11-0 lead 3 minutes into the first, the run including two 3s and a dime by Kester. After Bauer grabbed a rebound, she tore down the floor and was rewarded as Kester hit her at the free-throw line for a lay-up to go up 5-0.
"That's the chemistry of the two blondes," said Pearson, who scored 10 points for Sterling but, like Bauer, had to deal with foul trouble.
Pearson picked up her fourth foul late in the third. Bauer was whistled for two in the first.
"It's not fun," Bauer said. "My leg was shaking. I just really wanted to get in there and attack."
That was the mode Sterling was in all night. That is, until the Warriors methodically salted away the victory over the final 5 minutes.
The key, in Sandoval's eyes, was being ready to blitz the Crusaders right out of the gates.
"We've been the dark horse, like the paper says," Sandoval said with a grin. "My dad and I had to look it up. It's something coming up behind you, and you don't expect it."
Star of the game: Stephanie Kester, Sterling, 24 points on 8-for-10 shooting, school record-tying six 3s, 5 rebounds
Key performers: Rachel Konieczki, Lutheran, 26 points, 4 steals, 2 rebounds, 2 assists; Kaitlyn Bauer, Sterling, 12 points, 8 rebounds; Gabby Sandoval, Sterling, 8 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds; Kiarra Harris, Sterling, 3 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks; McKenna Pearson, Sterling, 10 points, 4 rebounds

- Commentary
By Cody Willard
In yesterday's Revolution Investing, I noted that as of this week, Apple and Google, respectively, are the two most valuable companies in the U.S. That means, I've owned the two largest market-cap stocks in the U.S. for more than a decade, having first bought Apple at $7 and Google the day it came public at $95 in the open market after it started trading.
With the Revolution Investing approach, and the whole point of the newsletter, is that we're trying to find the next Apple and Google like I did the first Apple and Google. I added a couple new names that have some parallels to my biggest — and the market's current biggest — winners in this week's edition. But let me be frank, as all my haters in my Markewatch blog comments section are apt to point out, that I've been wrong a lot along the way too.
For example, I remember about 10 years ago, I was also short Research In Motion because I thought that its platform would eventually succumb to better and more open platforms. That was when Apple's main growth engine was its relatively still new iPod and I was writing about how someday Apple /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL would some day turn the iPod into a cell-phone enabled "iMiniMacBookPro for Your Pocket."
With the stock at $12, I was heading into RIMM's earnings report already down more than 10% on my short position and feeling the pain which only intensified as I listened to the company's earnings call. RIMM was on fire and absolutely blowing away every subscriber and profit and growth metric that Wall Street had for the near-term back then, I cringed as the stock hit $14 in after-hours trading. I moved to cover the shares I had sold short and it wasn't until early after normal market hours opened that I was able to get out entirely of my short, with an average cover price of nearly $15 a share.
Certainly, I had some nice "offsetting" profits in my other telecom and tech long positions which were also on fire at the time, but any good trader/investor knows that limiting losses is key to long-term outperformance. And I felt sick over a 30% loss on that trade in just three months' or so time, as I recall.
A couple years later I didn't feel so stupid when I got a distressed email from a telecom analyst who had just realized that RIMM had passed AT&T in market cap at some point. The stock was now near $50 and on its way to $100. I eventually re-shorted as Android and iPhone finally created the exact dynamic I'd long expected to see the Blackberry platform suffer, as it lost critical mass. I even had RIMM as a short in Revolution Investing as long-time subscribers will recall and covered it on the way down before it eventually became the BlackBerry /quotes/zigman/19622165/delayed /quotes/nls/bbry BBRY stock everybody loathes today.
The other day I wrote what turned out to be a very controversial and widely distributed article called, "Twitter is doomed to a Blackberry-like future." I wonder if I'll look like and feel like an idiot for having written those words for the next few years as Twitter rides this ongoing bubble-blowing bull market and its own momentum to wild new highs and valuations for shareholders.
To be clear, I'm not short Twitter and am not looking to short Twitter anytime soon — if ever (I'll see where the stock and the company's roadmap take us). And part of the reason why is exactly because of the lesson I learned when I'd shorted RIMM for the right reasons years too early.
Will Facebook triple again from here as it has in the last year and someday be one of the most valuable companies in the world? Will Twitter? Will the App Revolution stocks crash and burn after this bubble pops? Is there still more bubble and/or simply higher valuations for most tech growth stocks ahead for the near-, the mid- and/or the long-term? Those are my trader's deep thoughts for today. See ya' tomorrow. And in 10 years.

....A few in-game escapades, providing a glimpse into MMO life.
In Eye of the Storm (WoW):
(Several Alliance hold the mid from a Horde attack)
Pally: You see that? I'm AWESOME!
Pally: /flexes
(Horde Shaman appears and knocks the Pally out into space)
Me: Oh yeah, that WAS awesome!
Mage: Do that again!
Pally: You both suck!
In Alterac Valley (WoW):
(Horde Hunter sets up shop above Stormpike GY, one-shotting Adelwulf twice as he respawns)
Me: Will somebody get that damn Hunter?
Rogue: Get him yourself.
Me: He's GY camping and one-shotting me.
Rogue: That's no excuse.
(Rogue spawns at the same time I do, and he gets one-shotted instead)
Rogue: Damn! Someone get that Hunter!
In Isle of Conquest (WoW):
(Alliance gets the Workshop and we pick up the siege engine)
Pally: Which gate is lowest?
Me: Right. It's at 54.
Pally: Go right!
(Siege engine takes off, and then before it gets to the Horde Keep, starts dancing around.)
Me: Go right! Go right!
(Siege engine chases after a stray Horde player)
Pally: WTF!
Warrior: Go right, dammit!
(Siege engine goes to main gate and starts attacking)
Me: Not there! Go right!

Lol this was hilarious! But as a horde player, you know what I would say...ReplyDelete
.. silly alliance :PReplies
The last time I played Horde (on Neve), I was swearing up a blue streak because about a third of our side was composed of bots. By the time we finally got rid of them, it was way too late to win Eye of the Storm. Not exactly something fun to write about, especially when the very next game was AV and nobody stayed back to knock the Alliance off their timing for Tower Point or Iceblood Tower.

Ending Dawn
I was engaged! It sounded like a swear word to me, but I couldn't complain about the results that were to follow. I loved Edward more than life itself, and he knew it. I would die for him. I would be immortal as a vampire, as his wife. I wanted to spend the rest of eternity with the most perfect boy on the face of the earth. But of course, he had his own list of things to do before he would change me into a vampire. We had to get married. Edward wanted me to himself, no one else. CHAPTER 16 Will be up soon! Sorry for the delay...I just graduated from High School! Banner by ME! Let me know if you would like me to make you a banner! send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Hello all! This is my first crack at a Twilight Fanfic and I hope you all enjoy it! I really enjoy writing this story! Please enjoy Ending Dawn!

Chapter 1: Anxiety
I couldn't breathe, my heart beating like rapid fire in my chest. What was I thinking? I couldn't do this! What had I gotten myself into? And putting Edward in the line of fire, nonetheless! I could feel the sweat rolling down the side of my face, the scenery speeding by with a new type of acceleration. I wished he would slow down. I wanted to put this off as long as I could.
"Bella?" Edward's velvet voice asked, interrupting me from my inner turmoil. He looked at me with his melted topaz eyes, concern lightly etched into them. "What's wrong? You're heart is beating so fast that I can't hear myself think." He had a worried tone hidden in the depths of his voice.
I bit my lip, not wanting to admit to him what I was felling: the fear. It was a silly fear, one that could have been avoided if I didn't have to face my parents. I had to tell them that I was getting married in the next two months and I knew that it wouldn't be easy. I could see Charlie standing in front of me, pointing a revolver at Edward. Of course it wouldn't hurt him in the slightest, but it was the thought of the situation. I could just imaging Charlie's face purple with frustration as he shouted obstinacies at my fiancée. I shuddered to myself as I thought the word.
"Bella, please tell me what you're thinking," Edward asked in a begging tone. I could hear the pain in his voice, the anxiety. "You know that it drives me mad that I can't hear your thoughts, especially at times like this!"
I felt his arm snake around my waist, his cold marble skin relaxing me slightly. Not only could he hear my heart racing, but now he could feel my pulse. I didn't want to have to tell Charlie and Renee about our engagement, but I had too. I couldn't keep this secret from them any longer, not after what Charlie had said to me last night. My heart seemed to shrink at the thought inside my chest.
I was engaged! It sounded like a swear word to me, but I couldn't complain about the results that were to follow. I loved Edward more than life itself, and he knew it. I would die for him. And, I would be immortal as a vampire, as his wife. I wanted to spend the rest of eternity with the most perfect boy on the face of the earth. But of course, he had his own list of things to do before he would change me into a vampire. We had to get married. Edward wanted me to himself and no one else.
But what I wanted the most from him, I had just turned down in our meadow. What had I been thinking? I wanted to share my last human experience with him, give him ever part of me that was human. And he just offered! It was something that Edward would never do. But those stupid morals that Charlie had set into my head last night! I had to do things right. I couldn't just leave Charlie and Renee without an answer, and this wedding seemed like the best closure I could give them. I owed them that much.
"Bella, please!" Edward begged, his tone melting my thoughts away. I couldn't leave him out anymore. He had a right to know what was coming, the fate he was about to meet when we talked to Charlie.
I turned to look at Edward, his beauty stunning me as it always did. It felt harder to breathe now than it had before. His topaz eyes were now pleading as they looked into my soul. I sighed, looking away.
"I'm nervous," I admitted, a blush taking my face. I bit my lip that was quivering slightly, hoping to stop the nervous reaction.
"I told Alice that this was a bad idea," Edward said immediately, not looking at the road at all. His concentration was solely on me now. "I'll break it to her, Bells. We will do this your way, the way that you are most comfortable. I'm tired of you trying to make everyone else happy. I want you and only you to be happy. You are my everything, Bella."
I laughed at him, unable to contain myself. My fear had nothing to do with the wedding Alice was planning for me. My fear had to do with Charlie and Renee's reaction to that event. I didn't care about the wedding, just as long as Alice didn't go overboard and I would be turned into a vampire promptly after.
Edward quickly shifted his eyes back to the road, not saying anything. I could tell my laughter had hurt him, even if he didn't show it. I felt a prang of guilt run over me as I tried to end my laughter. I hated when he was upset, a piece of my own soul being crushed in the process.
"Edward," I said, trying to stiffen my giggles. "It's not that, love." I bit my lip and placed one of my sweating palms on his knee. "I am happy. I am happy wherever you are. I'm just…just nervous about telling Charlie and Renee…" this fear seemed silly to me now, especially after everything else that I had faced thus far. "You do realize the death sentence that you have set up for yourself? It's a good thing that you're immortal, or else Charlie would literally kill you!"
"Silly, Bella," Edward chuckled, turning his face back to face me, holding me tighter. "I am willing to take any risk as long as you end up as my wife." He smiled at me, his beautiful smile melting my heart. How was it that I had ended up with someone so beautiful?
"Are you willing to turn me early so that I don't have to do this?" I asked in a hopeful tone, knowing that I didn't have chance. He looked at me, his eyes darkening slightly.
"Bella--" he started, looking back at the road. It was a touchy subject.
"I know, I know, but it was just a thought," I sighed, seeing the town of Forks out my side window. Within minutes, I would have to do the unthinkable. I shivered at the thought. Edward slowly withdrew his arm from around my waist, thinking that I must have been cold. I quickly grabbed his arm back, a light smile coming over his perfect features.
"Just remember that I will be at your side the entire time," Edward said as he parked the silver Volvo in front of my house. My pulse started to race as he kissed the top of my head. I didn't want to have to tell Charlie. "I love you, Bella," he said calmly into my hair.
"I love you too," I muttered, closing my eyes to try and relax myself. However, before I could get another moment to myself, I heard Edward chuckle lightly.
"Charlie's getting worried about us sitting outside too long," he said, his eyes flashing back to me. "He thinks that we're--"
"Don't say it," I moaned, putting my hands in front of my face. I couldn't calm my pulsing blood that was raging through my body. "It's bad enough that I have to tell him in a few minutes!"
I could feel the anxiety sweeping over me. I felt faint as Edward helped me out of the car. His arms were the only things supporting me as we made our way to my front door. I kept glancing down at the beautiful ring that Edward had placed on my third finger on my left hand. It looked perfect, almost too perfect to be me. I couldn't believe what I was doing.
"Edward," I murmured under my breath, unable to speak louder than that.
"It'll be alright," he assured me, kissing my hand that was held in his, the one with my engagement ring on it. I felt a shiver run down my spine as his icy lips touched my hand. He always had amazing effects on my body. I wondered if it would be different if I was a vampire.
"Will you do me a favor?" I whisper as we paused in the porch for a moment, allowing me to try and clam myself before I faced Charlie.
"Anything, my love," Edward said, his face lighting up with my favorite smile. I loved him so much.
"Will you murder me," I moaned, his hand reaching for the handle. I wished that it would happen in slow motion.
"Anything but that," Edward answered, his eyes darkened as he looked a me. I knew that comment wouldn't go over well, but it was worth a try. I had to find a way to delay this announcement for a few more seconds.
I sighed, as I knew I couldn't put it off any longer. Charlie would be getting nervous if we stood outside for too long.
"Well, here goes nothing," I said, taking the door handle and twisting it lightly, my hand in Edwards. It was time to tell Charlie.

Sales Have Ended
Sales Have Ended
This is your exclusive opportunity to experience two-and-a-half hours 'up close and personal' with the one and only 'Cowboy' Don Tolman!
Think for a moment...
Do you live in a healthy, pain-free body with boundless energy and without reliance on daily pills, capsules or medical drugs?
Or do you (or a loved one) carry the daily burden of Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer or some other disease, ailment or life-long condition that you don't know how to heal?
Ever wondered why, despite billions raised and spent on scientific research, that each year these diseases are becoming more not less?
For generations, it's become commonplace to hand ourselves over to the "health care" industry when the slightest thing goes wrong. And people put blind faith in their 'family' Doctor without giving it a second thought.
Are you one of millions who trust government-backed vaccination programs and who turn to 'conveyer-belt' medicine for quick-fix solutions - without stopping to consider the impact on your long-term health?
It's time the truth were told...
For over 50 years publicly, 'Cowboy' Don Tolman has been an inspirational figure in raising people's awareness about the pitfalls of the 'health care' industry and in creating a pathway of hope for thousands world-wide, by sharing his ancient health wisdom and principles of "Self Care".
During this powerful, two-and-a-half hour event, Don will take you on a journey of discovery where you'll learn:
- Why the industry of "Health Care" has been totally mis-named;
- The history and origins of the Pharmaceutical industry and how it's evolved into a global financial powerhouse by promoting 'fear' and 'guilt' amongst the masses;
- Why Doctor's offices are called a "Practice" and the true meaning of "Diagnosis" in courts of law;
- Why treating "Symptoms" is only a band-aid solution that does nothing to address the underlying cause;
- The "Law of Similarities" revealing the wisdom of plant wholefoods and their relationship to human anatomy;
- The real meaning of "Nut-rition";
- The truth about "Supplements" and why your body cannot recognise fractured or isolated nutrients;
- Why wholefoods provide the frequencies of light that your cells truly need to operated at their highest functional capacity;
- The 'River of Life' or 'River of Death' equation that you can control;
- The ancient 7 Principles of Health and Longevity;
- Tips for elevating your energy to new heights, improving digestive function, removing pain from the body, overcoming food intolerances and avoiding dis-ease.
Central to Don's message is the notion that pharmaceutically controlled 'health care' thrives financially on the perpetuation of disease, so why on earth would 'bought and paid for' science deliver the elusive remedies that are so desperately needed?
What if the answers to health and longevity are simple?
As Don passionately shares, "All ten thousand trillion cells within your body want to be alive and vital, but the key is to support them with principles of life and health so that they can perform their intended function."
Imagine having the knowledge, tools and confidence to take care of yourself and to be your OWN Doctor without reliance on today's "health-care" system?
Don Tolman has been referred to as a modern day "Einstein" and when you experience his raw genius for the first time, you'll see exactly why.
At this exclusive and revealing event with the wholefood medicine man, you'll have your eyes opened wide.
You'll be entertained, inspired, shocked and you'll probably have your beliefs challenged.
But above all, you'll be catapulted into a whole new world of understanding about the simplicity of health and how you can heal yourself and be long-lived and disease-free.
When it comes to your health, you owe it to yourself to seek the truth. Don't miss the exclusive opportunity to experience the "Indiana Jones of Wholefood Medicine", Don Tolman, LIVE!

We specialize in innovative lettershop and mailing, fulfillment and computer analysis services. For end-to-end convenience, we cultivate strategic partnerships to bring customers a variety of one-stop solutions. Whether you need a single mailing or hundreds per year, we leverage our technology, expertise and experience to quickly and accurately prepare, verify and expedite every project. At Universal Mailing Service, innovation makes the difference, helping us exceed your expectations every time.
On-site Postal Center
The mailing center at Universal is a designated branch of the United States Postal Service. This allows for the presence of a full-time postal clerk at our facility. The dedicated phone line and on-site postal personnel provide Universal with the flexibility to call extra staff for large or quick-turnaround jobs, as needed. This value-added benefit ensures that your important mailing doesn't have to wait. In addition, all the paperwork is processed automatically, right in our dedicated postal center.
Plant-Verified Drop Shipments
Much of what you mail makes a number of postal stops along the way in order to go through various processes, such as routing and sorting. Plant-verified drop shipments allow you to bypass some of those processes because your entire mailing is loaded onto one or more trucks to be transported directly to the appropriate postal centers. Not only does this allow you to reap the maximum postal discounts available, it also saves time, meaning your mailing reaches its audience much faster than if it has to go through the standard processes.
Planet Code Destination Confirm
Think you have to rely upon Federal Express or another overnight courier service in order to track the whereabouts of your mailing or package? Not if you mail with Universal. Universal Mailing Service is among the select group of only 75 U.S. mailing service companies certified by the U.S. Post Office to track outbound mail to its destination. No matter what the size of the mailing, with Universal, in addition to knowing where it's going, you can also know when it gets there.
Alternate Mailing System Agreement
When you have a very large mailing to get out, postal regulations dictate every pallet has to be weighed in order to be verified. Not at Universal. Because of our close working relationship with the U.S. Postal Service, an entire truckload of mail can be verified based upon the volume represented by a singlepallet! That's the competitive advantage our Alternate Mailing System Agreement brings you. The AMS Agreement is the mailing service industry equivalent to an ISO-9000 certification.

UMS has invested in technology, which puts Intelligent Mail barcodes,( a product of the United States Postal Service ), on every mail piece, tray or pallet. This enables in-house tracking throughout the production process. Once it leaves our site, mail is scanned to confirm its acceptance by the Postal Service. Subsequent real-time scanning provides an electronic trail throughout the processing cycle until it reaches end delivery. UMS can trace where the mail is and predict when it is expected to be delivered. And with our unique web-based PlanetTrack™ system, customers can now logon and see detailed mail tracking.
Designed by our in-house Computer Services experts, PlanetTrack allows customers to log in any time, 24/7 to access detailed information about all their mailing jobs. PlanetTrack uses the Post Office's PLANET Code® technology to track mail every step of the way, as it moves through postal sorting equipment, ending with delivery to the intended recipients. With PlanetTrack, there is no waiting for mail status, you can simply log in and view real-time tracking results.
In-House Printing
As an added customer service, Universal Mailing has established a supplemental printing operation in-house. It has become a valuable service adjunct, particularly when we our client is faced with tight deadlines. When dealing with complex mailings (several items inserted into one information envelope) we can save our customers valuable time by printing simple, 2-color jobs (envelopes, customized letters and letterhead) when inevitable shortages occur. The logistics of contacting the client printer, waiting to find a production slot, etc. are eliminated with this unique Universal Mailing service adjunct.

These really should be named "Chubby Hubby" cupcakes, but I wasn't sure everyone across this lovely world of ours had access to the wonderful Vermont-made Ben & Jerry's flavor of ice cream, justly named "Chubby Hubby" It's ice cream, mixed with fudge, peanut butter and littered with chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels. The snack bar in my freshman dorm at Syracuse University sold it, and I think it was responsible for most of that freshman 15 (or was that the copious amounts of beer I drank, who can tell, right?).
These are cupcakes not to be messed with, they're substantial The filling is what you'd find in a peanut butter ball or buckeye, but with added chocolate covered pretzel chunks. No they're not local (although I do use as making regional baking ingredients as possible) and they're certainly not on the "light" side. However, when a massive storm is bearing upon New England and a blizzard is attacking the Midwest, these are what the doctor ordered, I promise.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Cupcakes
Makes: 18 cupcakes
Sources: base cake recipe from David Lebovitz, frosting is Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Frosting
9 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising) (195 grams, I weigh flour)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup strong coffee (or water, but I recommend the coffee), cooled
1/2 cup whole or low-fat milk (I used low fat)
1 cup peanut butter (I recommend creamy, but chunky might be fun)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners (powdered/icing) sugar
2 large chocolate covered pretzels, crushed, enough for a 1/2 cup of crushed pretzel
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
package of mini chocolate covered pretzels
2-4 large chocolate covered pretzels, crushed, to sprinkle over frosting
Preheat that oven to 350 degrees, set the rack to the center, and get crackin'. I suggest cleaning as you go on this one, it makes a mess.
For the cupcakes themselves, take two cupcake/muffin pans and butter top of each pan and fill the little holes with your favorite cupcake liner, and set them aside. (You'll have one full pan, one half full)
Now, sift together the cocoa powder, cake flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl (I just recently bought an actual flour sifter, do it, my life has been changed). In the bowl of a standing mixer, or by hand, beat together the butter and sugar about a minute until it becomes smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
In a glass measuring cup or bowl, mix together the coffee and the milk. Stir half the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, add the coffee/milk mixture and then stir in the other half of the dry ingredients.
Now take that batter, and pour it into your little cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 of the way full. Pop them in the oven and bake until a toothpick comes out of the center cleanly, about 19-21 minutes.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in their pan 5 minutes, and then let them cool completely on a wire baking rack.
Now, let's move onto the filling. First, take In a microwavable bowl, or in a saucepan on the stove top, melt peanut butter, unsalted butter and salt until soft, stirring the entire way. Take off the heat, and add in your confectioner's sugar and vanilla extract. Now, while the mixture is still a little warm, add your crushed chocolate covered pretzels. The chocolate will melt a bit into the mixture, which turns out amazing.
Now head back over to your cooled cupcakes. Using a sharp edged spoon or melon baller, scoop out the center of each cupcake to make room for the filling. Set aside the little top you've cut out, we'll be putting that back on. I usually fill cupcakes with a frosting tip, but the pretzels will clog it up in this case. Now, put a spoonful of filling into each little cupcake, and put the top back on. If it leaks out a little, no worries, we're going to put frosting on top of it anyway.
Speaking of the frosting - melt your butter, stir in your cocoa, and alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beat with an electric mixer until you have spreading consistency. Stir in your vanilla. You get about 2 cups of frosting with this recipe.
Now you can just slather that stuff on the top of the cupcakes, or you can pipe them, I used a Wilton 22m star tip in this case. Now, take some more chocolate covered pretzels, crush them and sprinkle them over the top and add a cute little mini-pretzel to the tippity top and dig in!

STAGE TUBE: Donna McKechnie Talks New Cabaret Show
Today, Saturday, April 10, Tony-winner Donna McKechnie will premiere her new one-woman show, My Musical Comedy Life, at the Springside Inn in Auburn New York. McKechnie, who won a Tony for her performance as Cassie in A Chorus Line, played the inn last night as well. Richard Jay-Alexander will direct the shows with musical direction by Eugene Gwozdz. The series, its inaugral year, is being produced by Barbara Walsh (Thommie's sister), Baayork Lee (who starred in A CHORUS LINE with Thommie) and Merete Muenter.
Here, McKechnie and director Jay-Alexander chat with WCNY Connected.
The show, McKechnie explains in a recent interview with Joan Vadeboncoeur of syracuse.com, pays homage to her late friend and former Chorus Line star, Thommie Walsh (Bobby). Becoming more than friends during their run on Broadway, McKechnie and Walsh enjoyed a nearly three decade professional relationship. Walsh staged many of the acts in which McKechnie starred, including a Cole Porter musical at the Pasadena Playhouse and her one-woman show, Inside the Music - a potpourri of songs, dances and anecdotes about her life in the theater and her successful battle with arthritis.
Thommie Walsh died of lymphoma at age 57 in 2007. At the time of his death, he was preparing the musical adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities for Broadway. Of the inspiration Thommie Walsh provided to her throughout her career, McKechnie says: "There was never a time when Thommie didn't help me...No matter what he was doing, even if he just came and gave me notes, he would be there. I want to honor Thommie."
Walsh made his Broadway debut in the chorus of Seesaw in 1973, followed by Michael Bennett's A Chorus Line in 1976, originating the role of Bobby. Following his run, he decided to focus on choreography, musical staging, and direction, famously collaborating with Tommy Tune on The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1978) and Nine (1982). His additional credits include A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine (1980), Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up? (1982), My One and Only (1983), Marilyn: An American Fable (1983), and My Favorite Year (1992). He won Tony Awards for best choreography for My One and Only and A Day in Hollywood/A Night in Ukraine.
On Broadway, Donna McKechnie was starred State Fair, Company, A Chorus Line - for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, On the Town, Promises, Promises, The Education of H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N, and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. She performed on the road with the touring company of Call Me Madam, starring Elaine Stritch and also toured in the 1971 revival of On the Town (as Ivy). In March 1973, she choreographed and performed in the highly acclaimed one-night-only concert Sondheim: A Musical Tribute at the Shubert Theatre in New York. Additional tours include Sweet Charity and Annie Get Your Gun, and she appeared in a London revival of Can-Can. Off-Broadway she appeared in a revue entitled Cut the Ribbons, followed by Annie Warbucks, a less successful sequel to the hit Annie. In 1997, she played Phyllis in a concert performance of Follies at London's Drury Lane Theatre, and the following year played Sally Paper Mill Playhouse's production. In recent years, she has toured periodically in her one-woman show Inside the Music.
Now in a new phase of her career, she now brings her latest act to New York. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit www.springsideinn.com.

Autumn is my absolute favourite time of year and as soon as I heard Lush we're bringing out this amazing Halloween range I just knew I had to stop by asap to pick some up! My nearest store is now in Exeter and all the staff there are so friendly and helpful.

Inside the pumpkin wrap were these delights - the Lord of Misrule & Pumpkin bath bombs, Boo bath melt and Sparkly Pumpkin bubble bar. The bonus is everything I picked up is vegan 👍🏻

Author Notes: I've been intrigued by the Spanish custom of grilling Spring first onions and serving with Romesco Sauce since I first read about. I love Romesco sauce, there are as many Romesco recipes as there are pestos, this is my favorite. I've been playing with ramps for a while, usually I stuff them under chicken skin, I've tried Monkeymom's winning chicken recipe subbing ramps for shallots and ramps for the herbs in the compound butter, that was wonderful. I've pickled some (great on a burger!!) and used them in mashed potatoes. This recipe though really gives you a taste of ramps, its simple and messy, great with grilled bread and a glass a crisp white, you could throw some asparagus on the grill while you're at or round it out as a meal with simple grilled chicken breast or some grilled shrimp. You'll have left over Romesco Sauce. I'll have a pic up as soon as it stops raining or tomorrow night, which ever comes first. - Aliwaks —Aliwaks
Food52 Review: Delicious. The ramps are nicely caramelized and mellow, but still have that oniony kick. The romesco has heat, but isn't overwhelming. The almonds are great texturally and add a nice nuttiness to the sauce. - Stephanie —The Editors
Serves: 4
kosher salt
tablespoon Olive oil
flaky salt
groudn black pepper
Romesco sauce
Large Red, Yellow or Orange Peppers
cup Roasted Almonds (pref Marcona)
Garlic clove
teaspoon Harissa
cup Olive Oil
tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
Salt & Pepper
tablespoon Sherry Vinegar
teaspoons Smoked Paprika or Pimenton
- Set a pot up a pot of boiling salted water, clean and trim ramps, cut off the tendrils, making sure to leave the bulb intact. Plunge into boiling water, then remove after a few seconds and set in a bowl of ice water
- Grill or Roast Peppers, I do these in my broiler if I am not spending a lot of time on the grill, and have even stuck them on a skewer and blackened them over the stove burner. You want them to get black and blistered, on all sides. I suppose you could use jarred roasted peppers, if you had too.
- Once the peppers are nice and black, put them in a paper bag, and seal it roll it up so its closed tightly (You could use plastic, I've mad a habit of using paper). This helps the blackened skins steam off the flesh. Let them cool until you can handle them comfortably.
- Peel peppers, remove seeds and membranes and set aside.
- Place almonds, garlic , paprika & rosemary in food processor and pulse till almonds are broken up into bits but not a paste. (if you stick them in freezer for an hour, it will help keep them from clumping), remove from bowl (don't have to lean it though)
- Add peppers, vinegar, & harissa to bowl, blend until it reaches a pesto like consistency, add nut/herb/spice mix back in and while blender is running slowly pour in olive oil, so it emulsifies a bit.
- Taste and season with Salt & Pepper
- Wipe all water off blanched ramps and drizzle with olive oil, place over hot grill (or in grill pan or if you have to under the broiler) till they char. Sprinkle with flaky salt & fresh ground pepper
- Serve ramps in a tangle next to a bowl of Romesco and a pile of bread , grilled , rubbed with garlic and brushed with olive oil
- This recipe is a Community Pick!
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Ramps

text: More Weed Seed Control Tips July 26, 2013 10:00 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email The following information is a Web Extra from the pages of Farm Journal. It corresponds with the article "Make Your Weeds Queasy." You can find the article in Farm Journal's 2013 Seed Guide issue. In addition to tillage and herbicides, other basic practices can help farmers manage weed seeds. They include: Identify the weeds in your field and know their weaknesses. Are they dioecious (as with waterhemp, whose male plants make pollen and female plants make seeds) or monoescious (as with giant ragweed, whose plants contain both male and female flowers)? What growing conditions allow them to thrive? Pigweeds require a lot of light to germinate, for example, so maintaining a good stand of corn or beans can limit the sun's ability to penetrate the canopy. In general, bigger weed seeds remain viable in the soil longer than smaller seeds. Explore the edges of your fields and identify ways to keep weed seeds from moving in from the outside. Consider how weather conditions can help or hurt your weed seedbanks. For example, fields left unattended during the drought of 2012 allowed weeds to flourish. Routine field management can limit the seed population in your soil so it doesn't get out of control. Choose chemicals wisely. Translocated herbicides can be a good choice during post-harvest applications because they move through the weed and attack the root system, where the plant stores much of the food it makes through photosynthesis. Avoid spreading manure collected from livestock that have consumed feed grains that have not been cleaned. Consider composting animal manure and carefully sourcing feed. Resistance problems, particularly with Palmer amaranth, can be expedited with careless spreading, creating the risk that crop acreage will be put out of production. Back to news

Before I started cycling, I played soccer, and attempted to play baseball (I was a lousy ball player!). I loved going to Pirates' games though, and also was an avid baseball card collector and autograph hunter!
I still enjoy an occasional night out at the ballpark; I'm riding my bike again, and my interest in autographs has returned. Rather than those of first basemen, however, I'm now taking an interest in signatures of WW2 fighter aces - specifically German Luftwaffe fliers! I've made a couple of very modest acquisitions, and have learned an extraordinary amount from one dealer in particular.
I'd like to heartily endorse AUTORAZZI91, whose Ebay store is full not just of pilots' signatures, but those of a whole host of famous and historical figures, including John McCain, Bill Clinton, Kevin Costner and even the driver of Field Marshall Erwin Rommel!
Stop by his shop, and browse an amazing collection. And why deal with this particular vendor? Well, besides his delivering a quality product, he has a great mentality. He himself told me:
"...The other reason that I like to offer signatures online is that I feel that autographs from veterans will permanently preserve the individual legacies of each of these extraordinary men. As the autographs that I have sold to customers from all over the world are passed down from generation to generation I know it will carry on the individual legacies of these remarkable veterans with them..."
Bravo! And to B.S.: I do think this is a controllable hobby, and the bike will remain my number one distraction from the serious side of life.

The Bisons began the morning with hard fought doubles matches. The men switched up their line-up in hopes of having better luck in doubles. Despite the close play, the men unfortunately lost the doubles point.
The Bisons secured a win at the No. 1 doubles spot. Daniel Hangstefer and Joe McArdle defeated Garcia and Fantova 9-8 (7) in a clutch tiebreaker victory.
At No. 2 James Murrell and Chad Pierron were upset in a close defeat, losing 8-6 to Esteban and Shahim.
Unfortunately the Bisons found a loss at No. 3. Shaw and Hernandez were defeated by Vaz and von Oerton 8-6, which gave the Dolphins the doubles point.
As singles play began, the Bisons fought to overcome Jacksonville's advantage.
Pierron, making his debut appearance at No. 1 this season, was defeated by Vaz 6-1, 6-2.
In the No. 2 spot, Hangstefer fell to Fantova 6-2, 6-3, giving the Dolphins a 3-0 match lead.
Hernandez could not pull out a win at No. 3, losing to Garcia 6-4, 6-0.
The Dolphins had not clinched the match, but the Bisons continued to play hard, picking up two wins at the bottom of their lineup.
Murrell lost a close match at No. 4 after battling back in the second set. He was defeated by Esteban 6-3, 7-6 (1).
The Bisons picked up their first win at No. 5 when freshman Colby Shaw beat von Oerton 8-6 in a pro-set substituting for a full match. This was Shaw's first win at the No. 5 position, but second consecutive conference win.
Another win was picked up by the Bisons at the No. 6 spot. Joe McArdle secured the easy win over Shahim 8-3.
Although it does not go down as a win, this was the men's best results in a conference match this season.
"Tough match today," coach Andrew Harris said. "We had opportunities in the doubles to take the momentum and were not able to close the matches out. We continue to get the production needed towards the bottom half of the line-up which is why it's so pivotal we take these doubles points."
The Bisons travel to Georgia StateTuesday, March 16 at 1 p.m. before returning home to finish their spring break action.

Read John Dodge's in-depth interview with Dean Kamen!
Inventor Dean Kamen's home in Bedford,
NH is nothing less a mini-Smithsonian or the
Northeast version of the Henry
Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI.
In fact, the 40-ton steam engine that graces the residence's soaring lobby was
purchased from the Ford
Museum. Design News Editor-in-Chief John Dodge interviewed Kamen in late October and
by sheer luck, the interview location was switched from the Deka offices in Manchester to his large hilltop home 10 miles away. Dodge snapped about 100 photos of
the contents in Kamen's unique home, whose primary theme embraces machinery circa
the industrial revolution.
Research and Development Corp., employing 200 engineers working on a variety of
innovations, was founded by Kamen in 1982. Kamen, 2004 Design
News Engineer of the Year and holder of 440 U.S. and foreign patents, is
consistently ranked in DN surveys as one of the greatest engineers and
innovators of our time. He appropriately arrived for the interview from the Deka
offices in his own Enstrom 480
The photos in the galleries below (please scroll down to view galleries) show his partiality to engines. The
purpose of the machines and Americana
are sometimes obvious or not. The galleries start with my arrival by car followed
by his in a jet-powered helicopter and a myriad of industrial artifacts.
Take a tour through Dean Kamen's house below, and let us know what you think at [email protected].

I love the colors of Aromaleigh, they are so gorgeous AND their full size jars have SOOOO much product for a great price!
I bought a few samples from them awhile ago and ended up buying the full-size jars since I loved the colors so much, I bought: Severina, Isadora, Penelope, Arbor, and Awe ; and also got a bunch of other samples.
Aromaleigh's "Elemental Lustre" eyeshadows are really pretty but may be too "shiny" for some people since they are metallic colors. The "Pure Hue" series have lots of pretty colors and I love how vibrant and pigmented the colors are.
I get a lot of questions on what the difference is or to compare among the different mineral companies and the answer is: price and quantity. Most of the mineral companies carry the exact same color or similar color and give it a different name, and of course have different sizes and prices, but overall all the ones I have tried from various mineral companies have phenomenal color-payoff, some sheerer than others, while are some are more vibrant, you just have to shop around to "find" the best deal. I for one, tend to shop on sites where I can buy more products under one shipping price, rather than ordering 10 different things from 10 different sites and doubling the cost. For this reason I like Aromaleigh, Everyday Minerals, PureLuxe, MadMinerals, Silk Naturals, MMBB, and a bunch of other sites. (You can check these sites out from the links on the right or Google it)
The NYX Ultra Pearl Pigments are more finely-milled and its texture reminds me of flour, hence they don't last as long to me as the mineral eyeshadows in general or the MAC Pigments because the latter is more gritty and easier to work with as well as blend.
Using "Severina" (on bottom) and "Penelope":

Another round of Lasang Pinoy is upon me and this time it's all about vegetables. Lasang Pinoy, literally translated as Filipino Taste, is a food blogging event that celebrates all aspects of Filipino food (and the various permutations thereof…and believe you me, there are many).
This month's host, Toni of Wifely Steps, has aptly named this round "Oh my gulay!" Gulay means vegetable, and "Oh my gulay!" is, as Toni put it, a Filipino "expression commonly used to present a feeling of shock, frustration, excitement, or surprise". That's right, just like "Oh my god!" or "Oh my gosh!" or "Oh my goodness!" I have no idea how the phrase originated, not that I haven't used it, but I think we basically just took the "g" from god/gosh/goodness and turned it in to gulay. Strange? I think not! See here. Slang is part of culture and a fun part at that. Especially if it involves veggies…which are always nice.
Ok, not always. I love veggies, but there are a few that insist on scaring me off. So, although there are loads of veggie dishes I would like to make for this event, I decided to make one that I don't (like, that is). The mighty ampalaya (bitter melon). I have tried more than once to like this vegetable…but it's just too bitter for me. I was discussing a certain Jeffrey Steingarten train of thought with a good friend and I thought, "This can't go on!". It irks me to think of this brilliant green, wrinkly veg, sitting high and mighty on its throne, looking down at me and laughing, "You can't eat me!". Really? We'll just have to see about that.
Ampalaya also happens to be one of C's favorites! He was forced to eat it as a kid, and eventually grew to love it. Amazing huh? We never have it at home though because I don't eat it, and I have this weird handicap of not being able to cook anything I don't like. But the buck stops here.
I chose this preparation because it's a typically Pinoy way of having ampalaya, it's easy, and C likes it this way best (we may as well favor the one that actually likes ampalaya right?). I had no idea what I was doing. I sort of pieced together this dish from snippets and tips taken from other blogs, my mom's cook, and C's persistent yet anxious directives.
Ampalaya With Egg
- 150-200 grams worth of ampalaya (bitter melon)
- 3 heaping tablespoons rock salt
- 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 1 tomato, seeds removed and chopped
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- Salt and pepper
– Slice the ampalaya in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and white innards. Slice each half widthwise into thin half moons.
– In a colander, rub the slices with rock salt. Rub them well! This part is fun…both you and the ampalaya get a salt scrub. When done, rinse ampalaya slices with water and let drain.
– Now, grab a handful of the drained ampalaya slices and SQUEEZE like your life depends on it. – Once you've squeezed the liquid out, set ampalaya slices on a paper towel and repeat with the next fistful until you are done with all the ampalaya.
– Heat the oil in a kawali (wok). Add the garlic, onions, and tomato all at once, and sautee until onions are soft and translucent.
– Toss in the ampalaya and stir fry until ampalaya is cooked through and tender.
– Take the pan off the heat and stir in the eggs. If, after some stirring, it's still too runny for your taste, place pan back on the hob and continue stirring until eggs are set to your liking.
– Season with salt and pepper, then transfer immediately to a plate (or else the heat from the pan will continue to cook the eggs).
– Serves 2
I was nervous every step of the way. Not because the dish posed much difficulty, but because I could smell the ampalaya the whole time. Even if in all likelihood this was purely in my mind, the smell (which isn't even that strong mind you) seemed to carry with it a bitter (no pun intended) taunt that I would not be able to do it. But I was patient and gentle (except for the squeezing part), and when the eggs softly set to my liking, I sprinkled some salt on it and took my first bite.
I'm cured!
Something I had done had mellowed all but a hint of the bitterness (the salt scrub? the squeezing?). The garlic, onions, and tomato added their own distinct flavors, making the dish as a whole taste less of ampalaya and more a happy combination of all the ingredients. And the egg enveloped everything in its creamy softness. I actually kinda liked it! As I greedily shoveled spoonfuls of that something-once-disliked into my mouth, the epiphany of it was amazing. A very "oh my gulay!" moment… As for C, he was very happy that ampalaya is finally part of our menu. The eggs were a tad to wet for his taste (but that's how I like them! no matter, it's a snap to make separate batches…), but when I asked what else I could change he simply said: "Make more!"
In the end, neither I nor the mighty ampalaya were conquered. But I think we just may become friends 🙂

As movie studios move away from 35 mm film and firmly into the digital age, the nation's second-oldest drive-in theater faces the prospect of being left behind.
Without a digital conversion that could cost as much as $90,000, the drive-in theater will have to retire its giant screen, said Ry Russell, the Saco native who runs the summer theater.
Faced with the "heartbreaking" prospect of closing the theater, which opened in 1939, Russell said he is turning to the community for help in saving a local landmark.
"This is a lot bigger than this theater," Russell said. "This is one of 10,000 theaters struggling to stay above water."
Movie studios plan to stop producing the large reels of 35 mm film that theaters like the Saco Drive-In have used for decades. Theater operators say they don't know exactly when the distribution of film reels will stop, but they expect it will happen this year.
While larger, chain-operated movie theaters have already converted to digital, many small independent theaters now face a deadline to move away from film and into digital technology. That's a challenge for them because the new equipment costs tens of thousands of dollars.
"Larger theaters converted to digital a few years ago," said John Tevanian, owner of the Bridgton Twin Drive-In. "Once they did that, the writing was on the wall: If you plan on being in this business for more than a year or two, you have to convert to digital."
Tevanian has started converting his two-screen drive-in, but said the entire process will take until next year. This year, he is constructing a new building to house the digital equipment he plans to have by the start of the 2014 season.
He estimates that the conversion will cost $130,000 — plus at least that much for the new building. He is confident that he will be able to get movies on 35 mm film for all of this season, which runs from spring to early fall.
Tevanian said 83 percent of the movie screens in the country have already been converted, and 90 percent are expected to be digital by the end of this year.
While most indoor theaters have made the switch, only about 10 percent of the country's 606 drive-in theaters have, according to the National Association of Theatre Owners.
Digital cinema provides consistent quality and is less expensive to produce and distribute, according to the association.
The conversion is expensive and may not be the wisest investment, Tevanian said, but he couldn't just walk away from the drive-in that his father bought 40 years ago.
Fans of the Bridgton Twin Drive-In have offered to help raise money, but Tevanian said the best way they could help was by buying movie tickets. He turned down offers of donations and fundraisers.
"If I was going to stay in business, that meant I was all in," he said. "When I made the announcement on my Facebook page last year, I said to the folks (that) a sane person would look at the numbers and walk away. Sometimes you do things that perhaps economically aren't the smartest move, but you only live once."
The operators of the Prides Corner Drive-In in Westbrook could not be reached for comment.
The Saco Drive-In isn't the only Maine theater to ask for community help to cover the cost.
Jason Sheckley, owner of the Harbor Theatre in Boothbay Harbor, turned to the community to help with the one-screen theater's digital conversion.
Open since 2002, the independent theater is a "labor of love" that doesn't turn a profit, Sheckley said.
About 150 people donated a total of $50,000, just enough to buy the digital projection equipment that will be installed this spring.
Though the money has been raised, Sheckley is worried about the future of independent theaters.
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to be able to convert the theater," he said. "We think a good number of theaters are going to go out of business because of this."
Sheckley is reluctant to move away from film, which he now plays with carbon arc projectors from the 1930s. With that setup, he can show both old and new films — something that will end when he makes the conversion.
"I'm not impressed with the way digital looks," said Sheckley, a longtime projectionist. "I think the digital has been forced on theaters because it's something to save money for the businesses that run the studios."
Audiences at the Nickelodeon in downtown Portland may not have noticed the cinema's digital conversion, but staff members noticed "a huge difference in clarity, contrast and brightness of color," said Assistant Manager Ben Howard.
And there's no longer any worry about the film breaking, he said. The theater, part of the Patriot Cinemas group, completed the conversion for all six screens in three days in December.
"It was kind of a convert-or-die situation," Howard said. "It's the way forward. It was a lot for some of us to learn, but now that we have it all set up, the advantages are clear."
Russell, from the 74-year-old Saco Drive-In, said he is confident that people who have long connections to the theater will help keep the tradition alive.
Taking out a business loan isn't an option because it would be difficult to cover loan payments while running the theater, which doesn't turn a profit, he said.
In addition to buying digital projection equipment, Russell must alter the projection booth to make sure it is climate-controlled.
Russell is using Facebook — where the drive-in has more than 16,000 fans — to rally support. Donations are accepted through the Facebook page, and Russell said there will likely be fundraising events, such as bake sales and an all-day concert. So far, he has raised $1,900 toward his $75,000 goal.
While he is focused primarily on keeping the theater open, Russell also is collecting families' stories about their experiences at the drive-in. Many of the stories about family bonding, nights out with friends and traditions passed down through generations bring him to tears, he said.
"It will kill me if I have to close," he said. "There will be a 'closed' sign on the door if we don't make this happen."

Adolf Hitler's bodyguard for most of World War II died Thursday in Berlin at 96.
Rochus Misch, who affectionately called the Nazi leader "boss," was the last remaining witness to the Hitler's final hours in a Berlin bunker, according to the AP.
In a 2005 interview with the AP, Misch said Hitler was "a very normal man."
"He was no brute. He was no monster. He was no superman," he said at the time.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's third oldest nameplate currently in production. Original sales projections projected less than 100,000 devices for the first year. This mark was exceeded in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were constructed.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, however a number of changes were made at the standard opening of the new model year (start August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of generators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made enough distinction to warrant classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has withstood with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Desmet ID are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were having to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the first variation however, due to the extra devices required to satisfy new United States emission and security regulations, was much heavier than the first design. Performance was minimized and in the first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Desmet ID were available between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a third time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was actually large enough for 4 people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles readily available included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 speed automobile and Ford constructed 10,478 celebratory replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Miami Heat selects Norris Cole
Well… the Miami Heat traded up three spots in the 2011 NBA Draft, into the first round at No. 28, to select what it believes was the most promising point guard available in Norris Cole. It was a welcome aggression for a typically draft-passive organization.
Riley wanted a "pure" point guard; he got his man.
He got a talented one at that. When a player scores 41 points, grabs 20 rebounds, and dishes out 9 assists in a single game (even if it was versus an admittedly forgettable Youngstown State team), you know he's a serious offensive threat. When that player also nabs his conference's Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards in the same season (even if it was in the admittedly forgettable Horizon League), you have Norris Cole.
Cole rated out as the fourth and fifth best point guard in the draft, respectively, by Riley and ESPN draft guru Chad Ford. Riley had him ranked No. 18 on his draft board; Ford had him going as high as No. 21. The Heat were enamored with Cole's speed and defensive ability at the point guard position. But as a slender guard with short arms and questionable range, showcasing his talents in an inferior conference, he's far from a sure thing. Time will tell.
We can debate whether trading up was necessary and justified.
Detractors will point to the enhanced financial obligations to a first round pick in what figures to be an uncertain salary cap environment. They will point out that the increased financial burden was the result of moving up just three spots, from No. 31 to No. 28. They may even suggest that it was truly just one spot. Two of the three were owned by the Bulls, the team which facilitated the trade of Cole to the Heat. The Bulls then formally made the selection of Cole, dealt him to the Timberwolves, who then moved him to the Heat. Had the Bulls been targeting Cole, they clearly wouldn't have do so.
But the Heat wanted Cole. "There was a consensus that this was the player that we wanted to take," Riley said. "We didn't want to get left at the altar."
He was cognizant that the Spurs, who had agreed to trade their backup point guard George Hill to the Indiana Pacers earlier in the day, could jump in front of the Heat and select a point guard at No. 29, and in fact they did. The trade was therefore necessary, and so skillfully executed.
But the price was steep. More steep than necessary?
The Heat surrendered to the Wolves the Wolves' own 2014 second round pick and cash considerations to move up just three spots. The Bulls, as part of the same trade, surrendered to the Wolves a less attractive second round pick (No. 43) and cash considerations to move up five more valuable spots. The Bulls gave up less and got more.
In the 2010 draft, pick Nos. 25 and 31 were each sold for cash.
It would appear that adding in cash alone, or perhaps instead a future second round pick of their own, would have made for an eminently more reasonable swap for the Heat. It would appear that trading away the Wolves' own 2014 second round pick and cash considerations would be enough to simply buy the No. 28 pick outright, without the need for a swap. Imagine the Heat with Norris Cole and a second youthful player selected with the No. 31 pick. Of course, we will never know whether such alternatives were bargained for.
And so now the Heat has just two low-level first round and five low-level second round draft picks over the next five years.
The Heat has, in effect, traded away Michael Beasley in return for the draft rights to Norris Cole. If, as a result, the team has identified a key contributor, then all is well. If, by chance, the team has identified a future starter, then all is wonderful and this will go down as a spectacular draft for Riley and crew.
Is Norris Cole the Heat's answer at point guard? It certainly seems as if he has that potential. But the pressure is on.
And so it goes for Pat Riley and the Miami Heat.
Here's to wishing Mr. Cole all the success in the world.

Donald Trump acknowledged at an event in Washington, D.C., Friday that President Obama was born in the United States, following a renewed controversy over the so-called "birther" movement that questioned the president's American citizenship.
"Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it, I finished it," Trump said. "You know what I mean. President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again."
Trump's claim that Clinton launched the birther movement during her unsuccessful primary run against Obama in 2008 is unsubstantiated and long denied by Clinton.
"What Trump just did is a disgrace," Clinton's campaign responded on Twitter.
"Trump has spent years peddling a racist conspiracy aimed at undermining the first African American president. He can't just take it back," the campaign shot back in a series of tweets.
Trump's statement came hours after Clinton assailed her opponent for refusing to answer whether Obama was born in the U.S., saying Trump owes Obama "and the American people an apology" for his role in the "birther" movement.
"We know who Donald is. For five years, he has led the 'birther' movement to de-legitimize our first black president," Clinton said in a speech at the Black Women's Agenda Symposium Workshop in Washington, D.C.
As recently as Thursday, Trump would not acknowledge Obama's birthplace, declining to address the matter when asked by The Washington Post.
"I'll answer that question at the right time," Trump told the paper. "I just don't want to answer it yet."
After Friday's statement, he refused to take questions from reporters.
The statement provoked fury from members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who gathered for a press conference, called Trump a "disgusting fraud," demanded that he apologize to President Obama and urged voters to speed to the polls to defeat him in November.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., called Trump a "two-bit racial arsonist" who has fanned the flames of bigotry and hatred. Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., called Trump a "disgusting fraud" who had no proof of his false claims. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said Trump is a liar.
Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller issued a statement that suggested the question had been settled five years ago — by Trump.
"In 2011, Mr. Trump was finally able to bring this ugly incident to its conclusion by successfully compelling President Obama to release his birth certificate," Miller said.
"Mr. Trump did a great service to the president and the country by bringing closure to the issue that Hillary Clinton and her team first raised," he added. "Inarguably, Donald J. Trump is a closer. Having successfully obtained President Obama's birth certificate when others could not, Mr. Trump believes that President Obama was born in the United States."
Clinton said Friday Trump's campaign was "founded on this outrageous lie" and "there is no erasing it."
She said Trump is feeding into the "worst impulses, the bigotry and bias" that lurks in the nation.
"Donald Trump is unfit to be president," Clinton said. "We just can't accept this. We've got to stand up to this. If we don't, it won't stop."
FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, wrote of Clinton and the "birther" movement last year, "While it's true that some of her ardent supporters pushed the theory, there is no evidence that Clinton or her campaign had anything to do with it."
When asked about Trump's interview with the paper, Obama told reporters: "I'm shocked that a question like that would come up when we have so many other things to do, well, I'm not that shocked, actually. It's fairly typical. I was pretty confident about where I was born. I think most people were as well and my hope would be that the presidential election reflects more serious issues than that."
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, at the the White House to discuss the Trans-Pacific Partnership with Obama, was also asked about the latest Trump controversy.
"What I was really thinking is that Bruce Springsteen has to be really happy because 'Born in the U.S.A.' is probably going to sell a lot more albums," said Kasich, who was among the Republicans who challenged Trump for the GOP nomination. "That's as far as I would go. I mean, what am I thinking about it? I'm here for TPP and what's happening in the world. Not talking about where somebody was born."
In reaction in to Trump's admission, House Minority Leader Harry Reid said, "Trump is an exaggerator. I believe Donald Trump is a liar. I believe he's a bully.
Reid added that what Trump said about where Obama "was born means noting because any reasonable person knew that Barack Obama was an American born in Hawaii and Donald Trump has generated a lot of controversy and been so harmful to our country."

"Roads…? Where we're going we don't need roads!" Okay, so we still need roads, perhaps what Doc Brown should have said was "where we're going we don't need drivers," because that is rapidly becoming the case thanks to modern technology. You see, in the future cars will drive themselves. And one of the companies paving the way for that very future is Google and its self-driving car project; a project which we might add has proven without a doubt that autonomous vehicles are no longer an object of science fiction.
How so? Well, the Internet search giant has clocked in over 300,000 miles testing its self-driving Toyota Prius, sweeping across city-scapes and suburbs alike. Now, it looks to add another hybrid to the mix, the Lexus RX450h, as it turns its attention to more treacherous and tricky road conditions.
"To provide the best experience we can, we'll need to master snow-covered roadways, interpret temporary construction signals and handle other tricky situations that many drivers encounter," Chris Urmson, Engineering Lead of the Self-driving program wrote on Google's official blog.
With the RX450h's electric all-wheel-drive system Google should have little difficulty traversing the tricky terrain it has planned.
In addition to incorporating the RX450h into its fleet of autonomous test vehicles, Google will soon begin to alter the way its self-driving teams go about their research. Right now, two person teams are employed for test drives at all times, but that number will drop down to one as team members begin to utilize the vehicles for their daily commutes and other conventional tasks.
With the reduction of one driver, we have to ask: When will we see a Google car without any human overseers? The answer: Probably not anytime soon. Despite the fact that Google's self-driving car has gone more than 300,000 without incident, Google says it will keep a watchful pair of eyes in the car in case something does go awry. Furthermore, in order for Google to operate its self-driving cars in California, a licensed driver must be behind the wheel at all times.
Of course, questions arise as to why Google has chosen to delve into the autonomous driving technology market in the first place. For a company that so handily dominates the search engine business, and has other lucrative arms, it doesn't add up entirely. But perhaps this question is answered in Urmon's blog entry when he writes, "Technology is at its best when it makes people's lives better, and that's precisely what we're going for with our self-driving car project. We're using advanced computer science to try and make driving safer and more enjoyable."
That may be, but should Google's motives prove less altruistic the reality is it doesn't really matter, short of some maniacal plot to overthrow the world powers and install its own Google government. Although, with the way the company is run we can't say we'd mind all that much.
Nevertheless, the realization of our nerd-fueled childhood fantasies is slowly taking shape, and we couldn't be happier.
