|Penne Pasta Pie
Pasta is always the solution to a quick and delicious dinner. We all have so many recipes that can be made in 10 minutes - shrimp linguine, truffle pasta, simple tomato basil sauce with angel hair, shrimp arribiata, chicken with olives and angel hair, etc. But while they might only take 10 minutes, it is still 10 minutes that you have to spend making a mess in your kitchen, and there is still a pasta pot, saute pan and cutting boards to clean.
When you're having friends over for dinner, I like to make everything ahead of time. I learned this from my catering days - I would prepare as much as possible 'off-site' to minimize what could go wrong when I was in my Clients' kitchen. Not only does it minimize potential disasters, it also makes the party more fun for me - I'm not running around the kitchen, there's no dirty pots and pans in the sink, and I can actually participate in the conversation and fun.
So many of us think that having a dinner party means serving something expensive or elaborate. We've all stressed over steaks that are cook especially for each person... medium rare for some, medium for others, and well done for one of your guests... ugh. Forget it. We can all get a great steak at a restaurant. I like to serve recipes that are simple to prepare, easy to keep hot (or cold), and can be served family style around a table of friends.
That's where baked pastas come in. Do you ever wonder why you had so many lasagnas at family dinners? Our Moms, Aunts and Grandmas know a little something about hosting a manageable party that can be survived by the hostess and enjoyed by her guests. (Right, Aunt Nancy?!)

While lasagna is a surefire winner, I like to experiment a little and make new versions of pastas that will surprise everyone. This Pasta Pie (get it - baked in a pie dish?) is a mix between everyone's favorite macaroni n'cheese and chicken parmesan : Penne pasta, roasted chicken, fresh basil and mushrooms in a tomato cream sauce, baked with fresh mozzarella and parmesan. Not only is this delicious but it uses leftovers. I always have extra tomato basil sauce in our refrigerator - this is a great way to use it up.
Turn this into a $40 Dinner Party that is really stress-free party and add this make-ahead Blackberry Crumble to your menu. It can be made the night before and baked while you're having dinner.
Chicken Penne Pasta Pie
serves 4
1 chicken breast
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon dry italian seasoning
2 cups of prepared tomato (spaghetti) sauce (left over or store-bought)
1 cup of heavy cream
3/4 pound of penne pasta (or other tube pasta), cooked
8 oz. of fresh mozzarella, cut into cubes
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons of fresh basil, chopped
Preheat oven at 400 degrees. Place chicken breast on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and italian seasoning. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. When the chicken has cooled, cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In the meantime, prepare penne pasta according to the directions on the box, less 2 minutes. I like to cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than instructions to make sure it doesn't get over done.
In a saute pan, reheat left over or store-bought tomato sauce for 3-5 minutes until bubbly. Stir in heavy cream. Cook for 2-4 more minutes, just until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked pasta, chicken, cheeses (reserving 1/2 cup of cheese for the top), tomato cream sauce, and basil. Pour into a pie dish and top with cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Let it set for 5 minutes before serving.

VANCOUVER – Thousands of onlookers were busy snapping photos on their digital cameras and smartphones of rioters tipping cars, setting fires and smashing storefront windows following the Vancouver Canucks' loss in the Stanley Cup final.
Many of those photos quickly made their way onto the web and social networking sites, and now some angry residents are hoping they also become evidence against the rioters and looters.
By late Wednesday evening, even before the riot was fully under control, blogs and Facebook groups were already encouraging users to submit photos from a night that left the city's downtown core a burning, tear-gas-filled mess.
And police were also asking for those photos.
A site dubbed the "Vancouver 2011 Riot Criminal List," on the microblogging service Tumblr, started with a simple invitation:
"Lets hold people accountable for their actions!" the post began. "All right everyone, lets start posting pictures of the idiots setting fires and looting. Let's get identifying these criminals."
That prompted a series of postings, including photos taken during the riot and screen shots from TV news broadcasts, showing out-of-control people, many wearing Canucks jerseys, smashing windows and towering over burning cars.
In most, the faces of those rioters are clearly visible, often with triumphant grins.
The unidentified operator of the site was also encouraging visitors to send their pictures directly to the police.
A Facebook group also asking for photos of rioters didn't specifically mention helping the police, but focused instead on public shaming.
"Let's post those pictures and put a label on the losers that made this city look so bad, ruined my neighbourhood," said the group's description.
"We know you just took the photos, so post them, and let them speak a thousand words."
Const. Jana McGuinness of the Vancouver police said the force would be releasing information Thursday explaining exactly how members of the public can submit their photos.
"If people have evidence of crimes that have been committed, they should contact the police department."
It's something the Vancouver police have used before – including in the aftermath of the 1994 riots that followed the Canucks' Stanley Cup loss to the New York Rangers.
Vancouver police set up kiosks in public areas displaying photos and videos from the riots, asking users to help identify photographs and submit anonymous tips.
Footage from television crews and witnesses also played a critical role in the trial of a police officer who shot a rubber bullet and injured Ryan Berntt.
Berntt sued for damages, and the trial saw dramatic footage of the confrontation replayed in slow motion and examined by experts. The case was eventually thrown out after a judge determined the officer acted reasonably.
Early Thursday morning, a separate group on Facebook was encouraging residents to head downtown during the next several days to help clean up.
As many as 10,000 users indicated they planned to attend, but whether even close to that many actually show up to help pick up the trash, glass and other debris remains to be seen.

The evening will feature music, dinner and dancing, as well as performances by 2012 Glimmerglass Artist in Residence Eric Owens, David Daniels, Dwayne Croft, Sean Panikkar, Elizabeth Futral, Young Artist Dominick Rodriguez and more.
[Music Gala]
Performances by Dwayne Croft, David Daniels, Eric Owens, Sean Pannikar, Elizabeth Futral and more Highlight Evening of Great Singing to Benefit Young Artists
The Glimmerglass Festival will hold GL!MMERATA, the 2012 Spring Gala, on April 10 at The Metropolitan Club in Manhattan to benefit the company's Young Artists and Summer Internship programs.
The evening will feature music, dinner and dancing, as well as performances by 2012 Glimmerglass Artist in Residence Eric Owens, David Daniels, Dwayne Croft, Sean Panikkar, Elizabeth Futral, Young Artist Dominick Rodriguez and more.
The evening will be hosted by Glimmerglass Festival Artistic & General Director Francesca Zambello with Gala Chairs Patricia Kavanagh and James Grant, and Estelle Parsons and Peter Zimroth. Cocktails and hors d' oeuvres begin at 6:30 p.m., with the musical performance at 7:30 p.m. Dinner at 8:15 p.m. will be followed by dessert and dancing to the Peter Duchin Orchestra.
"It's going to be divo night out at our Spring Gala," Zambello said. "With performances by internationally acclaimed artists, alongside the talented Young Artists this event benefits, the evening is not to be missed."
The Glimmerglass Festival Young Artists Program is an acclaimed program that provides training and performance experience for talented singers at the beginning of their professional careers. The Festival also offers summer internships in production, administration and artistic administration, providing the opportunity for young professionals and students to experience the fast-paced world of repertory opera and music theater.
"You can train your whole life as an artist, but you are not one until you are working," said Francesca Zambello, Glimmerglass Artistic & General Director. "Glimmerglass has launched the careers of a tremendous number of singers and production and administrative interns. The 2012 Spring Gala helps to continue these programs, which help serve the art form in the long run."
African-American bass-baritone Eric Owens, who has performed to critical acclaim at Metropolitan, San Francisco and Washington National operas, joins The Glimmerglass Festival as the 2012 Artist in Residence and will work closely with the Young Artists throughout the summer.
At Glimmerglass he will perform the role of Amonasro in Aida in his role debut, and he will sing the role of Stephen Kumalo in Kurt Weill's Lost in the Stars. He can currently be seen as Alberick in the Metropolitan Opera's Götterdämmerung.
David Daniels made his Glimmerglass debut in 1994 as Nero in L'Incoronazione di Poppea at the start of his career, returning for lead roles in Tamerlano (1995) and Partenope (1998). He joined the company for a concert performance during the 2010 Festival. Daniels has performed leading roles at the Metropolitan, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Washington National, and Houston Grand operas, as well as Lyric Opera of Chicago, Teatro alla Scala, Bayerische Staatsoper, Covent Garden and Glyndebourne Festival. He can be heard in the Metropolitan Opera's new production of The Enchanted Island through January 30. Daniels is featured on many Virgin Classics recordings, including Bach: Sacred Arias and Cantatas and Pergolesi: Stabat Mater.
Cooperstown native Dwayne Croft will return to Glimmerglass for the role of Harold Hill in The Music Man, which follows the 2011 production of Annie Get Your Gun in the company's series of American musicals performed with full orchestra and no amplification. Croft began his career as a supernumerary and chorus member at Glimmerglass and went on to sing many roles with the company. Croft has sung more than 25 roles with the Metropolitan Opera, including the title roles in Billy Budd, Don Giovanni, The Barber of Seville and Eugene Onegin. In addition to his roles at the Metropolitan Opera, he has performed with Washington National, Los Angeles, Santa Fe and San Francisco operas, as well as Vienna Staatsoper, Salzburg Festival and Teatro la Fenice.
Sean Panikkar joins Glimmerglass this summer as The Leader in Lost in the Stars. Panikkar was recently seen as Narraboth in Francesca Zambello's production of Salome at Washington National Opera and debuted at Santa Fe Opera as Kodanda in a new production of Menotti's The Last Savage. He will perform the role of Ismaele in Nabucco at Washington National Opera in May.
Elizabeth Futral sings the role of Marian Paroo this summer at Glimmerglass. Futral created the roles of Stella in André Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire and Laura Jesson in Previn's Brief Encounter. Her extensive discography includes works by Previn, Carlisle Floyd and Ricky Ian Gordon. She has performed around the globe; most recently, she debuted at New Zealand Opera and performed with the Avanti Chamber Group at Carnegie Hall. This February, she performs Fiordiligi in Washington National Opera's production of Così fan tutte.
Programs at Glimmerglass. He was most recently seen as Don José in The Glimmerglass Festival's Young Artist presentation of Carmen, and in 2010 he appeared as Spoletta and covered Cavaradossi in Tosca. He has appeared with Virginia Opera, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis and La Musica Lirica. In 2012, he makes his debut as Manrico in Il trovatore with Houston's Opera in the Heights.

Radovan, Bozana and Vetko Bojovic are descendants of the Bojovici tribe, once a powerful clan in the mountains of Northern Montenegro.
Until the mid-19th century, society was organised in tribes which controlled certain lands. A clan could number as many as 250 people and was usually headed by its oldest member. Every tribe had its chief and an assembly of elders. By the early 17th century an all-tribal general assembly was formed to guide and regulate interaction between neighbouring tribes. Although this body had no executive or judicial powers, it was practically the sole "governing body" in Montenegro until the mid-19th century.
The Bojovici forebears are buried at the cemetery in the tiny village of Zminjica, where the family has lived for 350 years. Nearly all the tomb stones feature the Bojovic name. Their written family tree – dating back to 1500 – is over a meter long. Radovan, Bozana and Vetko's branch of the Bojovic family now lives off small-scale farming and hunting, and from tourism.
Vetjko Bojovic, 82, the oldest member of the family, is well-known for his hunting prowess. He still goes out to shoot wolves.
"I am 82 years old. I live in the Zminjice village. I was born here and my father left me here to live my life. My brother went to school and I stayed here. There were really tough days. Lots of snow, the force of nature, hardship, small children, this and that, but everything turned out alright. I worked in the forests a bit. With this saw I cleared the wood and it was the woman who helped me. I couldn't find anyone else and so she took one side and I took one side, and that's how it went. Later I hunted wolves. My relative, the forest warden who was here today, and I; truly, using guns or poison we caught more than 50 wolves. We waited in the evening, at night, and killed wolves. I hunted wood grouse and kept some as trophies. That's how I hunted.
God was generous in everything: these three sons work hard, I married off my daughter. They borrowed quite a lot, but possessions aren't everything. The most important thing for me is life and when a person is doing well and is healthy, he has everything. Possessions are fleeting and I remember well that there were very rich inhabitants in Durmitor during the war, but they were killed and thus disappeared. Property brought them all of this, also politics, and that sort of thing."
Northern Montenegro is 41% Serb, so it's no surprise that eight of its eleven municipalities voted against independence. Vetko Bojovic is proud to be a Serb.
Well, my perspective is centred around a joint state, for Serbia, with Serbia. There are many of us there, also many of the Bojović family, and roughly 250,000 Montenegrins. They sadly had no right to vote. I voted against it. The sons … they went, supposedly to vote for Montenegro, that we should split off. I don't see anything in that. So if we Bojovics also had monks in Serbia, they couldn't come here to visit us. Because he's a Serb, that's why!"
Q: Do you feel Serbian?
Yes, Serbian. My father was a Serb. My father wore that cap. This is a real Montenegrin cap. My father wore it for 80 years, my grandfather and great-grandfather before him, and now me. And when I die, I want to be wearing this cap and not that of Milo and his group from Podgorica. We fought for this cap, the Serbs just like the Montenegrins. See for yourselves: "Samo sloga Srbina spasava", that means "Only unity can save the Serbs."
Son Radovan owns a hotel in Zabljak, a small mountain town of 2,000 people in the Durmitor National Park, which is becoming one of the major tourist centres in the country, an alternative to the Adriatic coast. Despite a lack of transport and tourist infrastructure, the unspoilt mountains of "Wild Montenegro," which have defeated so many invaders in the past, are now becoming an attractive tourist destination for summer hiking and winter sports.

School classes grow as funding shrinks
Clark High School teacher Nat Player is getting used to it.
The psychology teacher has one of the largest classes in Northside Independent School District, with 39 students taking one of his Advanced Placement courses. He has more work to grade and he can't use all the whiteboard — their desks block access to it.
But what worries him most is losing the ability to focus on each of them.
"It's just easier for kids to fall through the cracks, I think," Player said. "I enjoy being able to get to know the students and better keep an eye on (them) if they need help or some attention, either with homework or just needing someone to talk to."
In his 16 years at Clark, he has seen class sizes balloon, and the trend is accelerating. Students regularly haul desks from down the hallway into a French II class so they all can fit in, then take them back out for a smaller subsequent class.
Northside's predicament mirrors that of several other local districts with expanding enrollments. It's part of the argument hundreds of Texas districts are making in an ongoing school finance lawsuit against the state, blaming lawmakers for a funding scheme that doesn't keep up with growth.
Administrators say larger classes are cheaper than hiring more teachers. There's no state limit on class size for grades 5-12. In kindergarten through fourth grade, school districts must seek permission to go above 22 students per teacher — and the number of requests for such waivers from several local districts has skyrocketed in the past two years.
School boards, lawmakers and even presidential candidates this year debated whether larger classes hurt education.
"I would say that the majority of those people who say class size doesn't matter haven't been in a classroom in a long time," Southwest ISD Superintendent Lloyd Verstuyft said. "To think we can take a college format with larger sizes and bring it down to lower grade levels, where students still are developing socially as well as academically, is a farce. These kids need attention and interventions."
A class size boom
The state's education agency routinely grants school districts' requests for class size waivers with few questions asked.
In 2010, before the Legislature slashed $5.4 billion in funding to public education for the current biennial budget, only two local school districts asked for a total of 15 such waivers.
This year, 11 local districts asked for waivers for a record-breaking total of 1,119 classrooms in Bexar County, according to a San Antonio Express-News analysis.
Northside sought no waivers in fall 2010, but in fall 2012 its board authorized asking for 597 of them. The state's two-year education cuts cost the district $61.5 million.
The other districts that filed the most requests this year also are rapidly growing: North East, Judson, Harlandale and Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City.
One local district not on that list, Southwest ISD, has found a way around the waiver requirement by using a "multi-grade" setup, placing some students overflowing from a lower grade into a higher grade classroom and having the teacher instruct the appropriate curriculum.Verstuyft said the district might need to end that experiment and opt for waivers — enrollment is swelling with population attracted by nearby manufacturing plants and the Eagle Ford Shale energy drilling boom.
Now at 13,024 students, Southwest added about 600 in each of the past two years since the Legislature cut its funding by almost $12 million.
Some area school boards have chafed at the steady stream of requests for class size waivers. Trustees in Harlandale and South San ISD said they wanted to vote against them but it would have just forced district staff to cut budgets elsewhere.
When South San trustees pushed back on the issue last month, Superintendent Rebecca Robinson told them she'd have to hire 11 more teachers and said the district couldn't afford it after cutting $5 million to make ends meet in the wake of the state funding reductions.The norm for class sizes in grades 5-12 is around 30 students, local officials say. At Southwest, classes in grades 5-12 with more than 30 students almost doubled in the past two years — from 166 to 324.
Districts have common methods to squeeze in more students. They tend to pack them into electives such as dance — around 50 at some Northside classes — or Advanced Placement courses, whose students are considered more motivated and therefore not in need of as much individual attention.
Districts try to keep core classes such as math or English smaller in size as students face increasingly rigorous state standardized tests. Usually, special education classes are smaller as students need more supervision and assistance.
Unfunded mandate?
State lawmakers and educators have said capping K-4 class sizes at 22 students per teacher is justified because younger students are learning social skills as well as academics.
But some lawmakers and fiscal conservatives believe school districts should make that call, arguing a few more students in a classroom won't necessarily mean a lower quality of education.
Before the 2011 legislative session, Texas Comptroller Susan Combs called for the K-4 class size cap to be lifted. Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, supported that. He will be chairman of the Senate Education Committee in the legislative session that starts Jan. 8, a powerful role in shaping state education policy.
His spokesman, Logan Spence, said Patrick hasn't proposed changing class size limits but hasn't ruled it out.
"We have attempted that in the past, but it hasn't gone anywhere," Spence said. "We are looking at all opportunities to give schools more flexibility."
That worries legislators like Mike Villarreal, D-San Antonio, who said his office analyzed state data and found schools with smaller class sizes have performed better on Texas' accountability ratings system.
"Here's the bottom line: Class sizes are increasing because the state cut public school funding and the system is penalizing those school districts which are growing the fastest," Villarreal said.
"This is affecting student achievement, and we should fund the schools so they're able to hire teachers to meet this growth."
The debate has national echoes. In September, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney reiterated his belief at an education forum in New York that class size doesn't matter, a position President Barack Obama attacked in ads.
Both sides point to research, but little decisive study has been done on secondary school grades, said Matthew M. Chingos, a national education policy researcher as a fellow at the Brookings Institution and Harvard University.
"There is little doubt that reducing class size can boost student achievement in some circumstances," he said. "What is much less certain is how much of a difference class-size policies make, and whether the impacts are large enough to justify the costs of hiring additional teachers and building new classrooms."
At Harlandale's Gilbert Elementary School, which grew by 60 kids this year, some teachers recall large classrooms decades ago and say they'll get the job done no matter what.
"You just deal with it and adjust, because we aren't going to turn the kids away," said Benito Garcia, a fifth-grade teacher who during his 38 years in education once managed 46 students at a time.
Students also learn to adjust.
"Sometimes, it can be harder to concentrate," said Cassidy Miller, 17, a Clark senior who is in two of the school's largest classes. "I don't know how they fit in everyone in that French II classroom. I know some of us will experience it in college, but it's not something we all want."

Bob Wischusen and Dan Dakich were calling Butler-Xavier game on ESPN this afternoon as part of the network's tip-off marathon coverage and—naturally—Tim Tebow came up. Wischusen is the Jets' play-by-play guy for ESPN Radio, and as such he is in a position to truly understand Tebow's irrelevance right now. And so, when Dakich asks him why the Jets aren't starting Tebow, Wischusen goes off, awesomely.
Didn't we get word from Bristol that we had actually allowed like 11 minutes of ESPN airtime to go by without mentioning Tebow? I think that's the standard company rule. Every 15 minutes of every program, regardless of what sport is being aired, Tim Tebow must be mentioned. So good job of you following the company line.
And here's a clip of how the whole thing started:

Featuring elegantly designed black and white drawings, Echochrome is a unique and captivating puzzle game. Echochrome challenges the player to abide by 5 simple laws of perspective, which govern how the player advances through each stage. Offering the most gameplay with the least graphics, Echochrome is likened to playing a M.C. Escher drawing. The player controls an infinite canvas, guiding a mannequin figure by carefully controlling the perspective, tilting and turning the level to create a continual pathway for the mannequin to walk safely through the design. Throughout the encounter, the mannequin will be guided by echos, or shadow guides, used as progress points to advance players along the pathway. There is no set pathway for any level in Echochrome. Players will find different and limitless ways to advance through each stage.

|Published in the Green Bay Press-Gazette (date unknown)
I don't know if Edward Duquaine is related to my family at all. The clipping was taken from a family scrapbook handed down to me. I haven't made a connection yet, but it's possible that my husband's grandmother clipped the article because it was a heroic tale about a local boy. We'll see what my research finds in the future!
Edward was born on March 6, 1921 to George and Mabel Duquaine nee Lhose. He was released from the Army Air Corps on June 5, 1945. He died of natural causes on August 25, 1998. He is buried in Allouez Catholic Cemetery, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
"Bombardier Describes Flight Of Disabled Bomber to Safety
By Ed Arndorfer
The story of a crippled B-24 Liberator's nerve-wracking flight from Brux, Germany, to safety behind the Allied lines in Italy is told in a letter received recently by the wife of Lt. Edward J. Duquaine, bombardier on the disabled bomber.
Found Going Rough
'We were unable to keep up with the formation and found the going very rough, with the dead engine vibrating the ship tremendously,' Lt. Duquaine wrote. 'I salvoed the bombs after finding it impossible to follow the rest of the way into the target. We flew off to the side, hoping and praying that enemy fighters would not find us.'
In the distance the crew could see the other bombers blasting away despite the hornet-like resistance of German pursuit planes. Meanwhile, the pilot maneuvered far enough away from the objective and yet close enough to be in position to drop in on the formation when it headed for home.
However, that was not the case according to Lt. Duquaine. 'When the formation did return, we were unable to follow and found our plane straggling some 100 miles from Berlin. I was really sweating over my map keeping track of our position, as I was bombardier and navigator on this trip.
At the half-way mark, a second engine lost all oil pressure and the wing began to shake so that the crew thought it would drop off.
'The pilot gave orders to prepare to bale out,' he related. 'Being over enemy territory, we waited a while longer. Then the propeller froze and once more the plane was in level flight. The other two engines really had a load and we were flying over water and continually losing altitude.'
Now everything that was loose was tossed overboard, including flak suits and ammunition waist and top turret guns. 'In the excitement,' he recalls, 'one man accidentally threw away part of the radio equipment, and another the flares.'
All the while the Liberator was dropping slowly on two engines and oil pressure was beginning to oscillate on the third. They were winging along the coast, with low clouds making visibility poor. A field was spotted, but it was decided not to land because Lt. Duquaine was certain it was a German base. Finally the Alp mountains were passed and Pilot Dennis Blackwell, Lyme, Colo., set the bomber down at an advance Allied fighter base without the aid of the radio and flora signals that had been heaved over the side in the confusion. Lt. Duquaine said that previously he had noticed a fire and by the smoke was able to distinguish the direction of the surface wind.
'That base looked good to us, and if it was not for the advance of our Allied armies in north Italy, we would now be prisoners,' he averred.
Late at night the crew members returned to their base on a bomber which had landed to refuel.
Lt. Duquaine entered the service Oct. 16, 1942, and received his commission last Dec. 4 and Midland, Tex. He arrived overseas on May 1 of this year and since then has flown 40 missions. Recently decorated with the Air Medal with an oak leaf cluster, he is the husband of the former Arivilla Challe, 700 St. George street, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Duquaine, route 6."

White Sox center fielder Trayce Thompson [B-R] was off to a fairly quiet start, hitting just .200/.308/.422 through his first 45 at-bats for low Class A Kannapolis, though he did have three home runs. That changed last night, as the athletic 20-year-old homered twice and went 4-for-5 against West Virginia, raising his line to .260/.351/.580 in the process. His five homers moves him into a tie for the South Atlantic League lead.

FICA World Cricketers necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 230 diseños de 53 diseñadores freelance.
FICA - the representative body of the various professional cricketers associations worldwide is looking to create a new logo. The logo must be distinctive and represent the standing of FICA on the world cricket stage. It must be adaptable to use online, on stationary, on branding backdrops for broadcast and interviews and on clothing as a sports mark for the development of merchandise items.
Federation of International Cricketers' Associations
"Federation of International Cricketers' Associations" - either as part of the logo or as a tagline
Desired Color Scheme:
Currently blue and red - but open to any ideas
Desired Style:
Modern, dynamic, clear, stylish
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
FICA represents its member player associations from across the world including, the ACA (Australia), NZPCA (New Zealand), PCA (England), SACA (South Africa) CWAB (Bangladesh) WIPA (West Indies) SLCA (Sri Lanka), ZPA (Zimbabwe), as well as representing all international cricketers at the highest level of the game.
FICA works closely with the ICC (International Cricket Council), the cricket world's governing body on issues that are common to players interests worldwide, from player contracts and commercial rights to anti-doping and anti-corruption codes.
FICA is expanding its offering to its member associations and the support it provides to them and their members the players, as well as growing is commercial and sponsorship revenues. It therefore needs a new logo to represent it on the world stage.
The logo must be, clean, clear, modern and professional in style, representing the approach adopted by FICA.
It must clearly show the letters FICA and have the option to define FICA with "Federation of International Cricketers' Associations" as a strapline or part of the logo.
It must have the energy and dynamism of modern professional cricket, positioning FICA as a forward-thinking proactive body in the game. In addition, FICA is about the players themselves, the focus of the game, it would be worth exploring incorporating a player or imagery from the game, bats, balls etc
FICA is a global brand in a global sport, a sport that unites races, colours and cultures, the logo should try and reflect this.
Each of the member associations above has their own distinct logo. We are not looking for an amalgamation of the members logos but either a logo that can reflect the members or stand out above them.

How to Photograph Spring Foliage
Looking for more tips on how to photograph spring in all its glory? Your search has ended! Here's how to capture all the beautiful foliage:
1. Equipment. Sometimes photo-worthy tree branches will be close by and sometimes they'll be far away, so having a good zoom lens comes in handy. A zoom with macro is even better but not required.
2. Settings. One of the biggest challenges when taking pictures of spring flowers is the visual chaos. It's difficult to take a good photograph when you're dealing with numerous flowers and they're all in focus. Why is this uncomfortable? There's nowhere for the eye to focus. The next time you take a picture of tree branches, get in close, set your camera to aperture priority, and use an open aperture (a low number like 2.8) rather than trying to photograph the whole tree.
3. Backdrop. When photographing branches, watch what is in the background and try different angles. For the photo below, I shot from below on a sunny day and got the blue sky. In the example below, I photographed a picture when the sky was cloudy and got a white background.
4. Composition. You don't need to place everything in the center of your viewfinder and make everything symmetrical. In fact, sometimes having the scene asymmetrical and unbalanced is best.
5. Scene. While close-ups are great, it's important to take 1-2 photos from far back to capture the overall feeling of spring in your area. So, choose a landmark in your city (or a spot you go to every year for a spring pick-me-up) and take a picture there.
Armed with these five tips, you should be able to take a nice stroll through your city park and capture spring as well!

Creating Pathways for Entrepreneurial Families
This is to be a creative abstract vector art style logo for a Entrepreneurial rural business education program.

In its never-ending quest to be the pay version of Moveon.org, The Sun conveniently forgets to mention a few items in its recent editorial ("Dog days in D.C.," Sept. 27). First of all, congressional leaders such as Sen. Harry Reid, Rep. Steny Hoyer and Barack Obama when he was in the U.S. Senate have voted passionately against an increase in the debt ceiling when there was a Republican president (the ceiling was much lower).
It was nice to remind us what "bills" are. The Sun might want to re-watch their Schoolhouse Rock to understand that many of these "demands" have been passed by the House, then never introduced in the Senate, as Mr. Reid didn't want to force his red state Democrats to vote against the will of their constituents. Finally, there have been many times in history when there has been negotiations over raising the debt ceiling limit. This will not be a first. If President Obama chooses not to negotiate, it will be he, not the GOP, who closes down the government.
It is obvious that Mr. Obama wants to shut down the government and then hope the GOP is blamed, so he can get his House back. That is the only rational explanation for his "no negotiations" stance.

Democrat Ken Gordon and the Colorado Senate, that "humor wasteland"
I can't decide if the late Ken Gordon is rolling in his grave in mortification or in laughter after Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman outed him for once describing the Senate as a "humor wasteland" and saying he couldn't find a fellow Democrat to tell joke to when he arrived in 2001.
Was it really that Democrats were so dull or that Gordon, a new senator who had served in leadership in the House, suddenly found himself a bit player in the upper chamber where Democrats now ruled for the first time since 1962?
I scanned the 2001 Senate roster to see which Democrats were serving then to see if they were as dour as Gordon recalled.
Ed Perlmutter of Jefferson County was the president pro tem. He's now a congressman. I've covered three of his four congressional campaigns and he doesn't come across as dullsville. Doug Linkhart ran for Denver mayor in 2009 and had enough of a personality to win a "Survivor" type forum. Jim Dyer of Durango. Jim Dyer? My god, he still makes people laugh when he returns to visit. I scanned through more names of Democrats. Bob Hagedorn, Pat Pascoe, Joan Fitz-Gerald, Terry Phillips. OK, OK. So the caucus wasn't exactly Comedy Central.

I see everyone loved the baby Road Runner I submitted earlier, so I guess I better upload another sweet, adorable lesson that was requested about two weeks ago. Today I will be filling this baby request so here is "how to draw baby Tweety", step by step. Like with baby Road Runner, I had a lot of fun turning Tweety into a baby. He is such an adorable character that is part of the Looney Toons group, which means when you turn him into a baby, this canary goes from being a smart, outwitting bird, into a sweet, innocent canary that has a lot of love to give. All of the Loony Toon characters look amazing as babies. If you find that there is a figure from the group that I didn't do yet and you would like to see a tutorial on it, just leave me a request and I will fill it as soon as possible. Well I guess that's it folks, have fun drawing Baby Tweety and I will be back later with some more fun for you all. Peace people and enjoy!

Post subject: Selecting a roasting pan
I usually roast meats up to 10 lbs, and I'm looking for a suitable roasting pan. I had the experience once of burning gravy in a broiler pan which was both too thin and too wide for what I was roasting. (The carrots and onions that were supposed to form the sauce burned to a crisp by the time the meat was done.)
I've been asking around on Chowhound, and people seem to disagree on what exactly burns the gravy (a flimsy-bottomed roasting pan or using too large of a pan).
What dimensions should I look for in a roasting pan for roasts up to 10 lbs? I want something not too big, but spacious enough to allow air circulation and proper browning.
This pan at my local restaurant supply store caught my eye. (24 gauge steel, about 12x17 inches, $30)
Does this seem like a good size for up to 10 lb. roasts? And what if I roasted something smaller like a 3-5 lb. chicken? Would the veggies for the pan sauce still burn if the bottom was thick enough?
Thanks for the help.

there's a lot of factors that can go into the 'burn' issue - roasting temp plus also length of time, how much liquid comes out, sugar content of liquid, covered / uncovered, etc.
if you see the bottom getting dry, just add a little water - some browning is not a bad thing, but there is 'burnt' . . .
that link would not be my first choice for a roasting pan - no handles, fairly thin / twisty possibly - a ten lb roast could be tricky to handle. the size is handy for medium roasts & chicken.
pans can get pricey - on a budget I'd go for an old fashioned enameled kind - they usually come with a lid and are in that price range. Granite Ware is one brand name.

Post subject: Burning the veggies - been there done that
So, I've roasted in a wide variety of roasting pans, running from dinky aluminum foil things from the grocery store on a cookie sheet through to my own favorite (an enormous french white corning ware roasting pan). I've burned the veggies in the bottom of a roast or chicken or turkey or... plenty of times until I finally figured out how to stop that from happening -- always make sure that there is liquid (and not pure fat!) in the bottom of the pan with the veggies. So if there's liquid (e.g. water) then by definition the temperature of the immersed part of the veggies can't get higher than 212 F and can't burn.
If you keep them at least semi-submerged and turn them a bit, then you can slow down the roasting process enough to get them caramelized but not burnt. So keep some extra stock on hand to add to the bottom of the roasting pan when needed and turn the veggies if they're looking dark brown on top.

Dark colored, or black enameled pans will burn gravy much more easily then a shiny silver pan.
The size of the roasting pan should be commensurate with the size of what you are roasting so the juices./gravy doesn't form such a thin layer in the pan that it dries out and burns.
I agree with the other posters who said to keep the bottom of the roasting pan covered with water.

Yeah, I dunno about the water or moisture thing. It tends to make the roasting area quite moist, hinders the browning of the roast or bird, don't like steamed roasts. This is why I don't put vegetables in the roasting pan either. If I find that anything is burning, it's because the temp of the oven is too high for whatever it is that I'm roasting. Be it thin aluminum roasting pan or cast iron pan with a trivit in it. Spray roasting pan/trivet with oil/fat, set food in and go. Same procedure for roasting veggies at 425 or 450, without trivet though. Stir a few times and all is well.

Well, you're the one that has to eat the stuff. Roasted 2 chickens this last weekend, both at 450 degrees. One with veggies/moisture, one without. The without chicken's skin was so golden brown, crispy, so perfect! Moisture chicken wasn't nearly as nice. Wobbly skin, low on the caramelly action, not nearly as tasty.

ps - It's all about the meat!

Welcome, Camelia (Cami for short)!!!
Edited by msdani1981, 09 January 2014 - 12:37 PM.
Posted 09 January 2014 - 12:53 PM
Cami is a (approximately) 15 year old Appaloosa mare. She stands 15.1 hands (1 hand equals 4", so she's 61" or 5'1" tall at her withers (the bump at the base of her neck). Her body doesn't look like much now, because she's filthy dirty and about 200lbs. underweight.
Here is her kill pen assessment (the person who did her assessment named her Beltane):
"Beltane is a white appaloosa mare. She was very dirty so it was hard to tell, but I think that she is a few-spot leopard. She stands about 15.1hh and we thought her teeth looked like she might be in the 15-18 year range. She is very thin and her feet are overdue. Although she is skinny now, she has a large build and will probably have a very nice big butt when she has filled out. She was very easy to handle and was well mannered and willing. We have no history on if she is broke or not, but she did brace herself when we acted like we were going to mount up."
Here is her assessment from when my friend Sue and I went to see her on Tuesday:
"Susanna and I worked with her, and she readily took the lead rope like a bit, and was doing spins on her haunches when she was asked to "neck rein" from the ground. It's pretty much guaranteed that she's broke. The only question is, will she be suitable for me to ride, and she's calm and quiet enough that it's a gamble worth taking. Nothing phases her, I basically crawled under her belly and she didn't flick an ear. We pulled her tail with no reaction. Susanna laid across her back, and she braced herself. She may need a refresher, but I have friends who can do that for me if it's necessary. We poked and prodded her all over her body, to see if she's ticklish or sore anywhere, with no reaction whatsoever. I hugged her head and she just stood there with her eyes closed, for about a minute."
I forgot to mention that she lunges, too.
I'm so excited!!!!!!
A side note...one of our members here VERY generously donated so that I could save her. I'm not going to mention names, but you know who you are. Thank you so very much, I love you.
Posted 09 January 2014 - 03:24 PM
Hi Dani and welcome to Cami - I love her name - so appropriate. I imagine the bond between you both will be very strong as her condition improves under your watchful eye. The photos of Cami made me cry - with sadness about how anyone could abandon such a beautiful animal to the kill pen and with happiness because I know she will have the best life with you. Bless you Dani. Hugs to you and Cami.
Posted 09 January 2014 - 03:29 PM
Thank you, Jan! I'm so excited!!!
Her transformation is going to be quite amazing, and of course you all will get to see her progress.
Posted 09 January 2014 - 03:34 PM
Posted 09 January 2014 - 03:57 PM
How exciting for Cami to get a new lease on life!! Blessings to you both!
Posted 09 January 2014 - 03:58 PM
It was really something.....for me, bonding with my animals is very important and I love giving hugs. So when I was searching for my horse it was important to find one that would accept being practically molested (not in the perverted way, I'm just extremely demonstrative LOL)....when I reached for her head she very willingly put it into my arms and was literally leaning into me, snuggling as close as she could possibly get. To explain for the non-horse people, most horses would have immediately thrown their head up, smacking me in the face...some would have tolerated it for a few seconds, but it is really a very rare horse that will allow a complete stranger to full-body hug its face, and actually enjoy and even ask for more. That was the moment I knew for a fact that she was mine. I knew I really liked her the second I walked in the pen, I was immediately drawn to her.
I had actually made the trip down there to see a different horse, and my friend Sue had to keep pulling me away from Cami to play with the other one. LOL
Sue noticed that during the entire day on Sunday (auction day) and the whole time we were there, Cami never worried herself into a tizzy, but she was obviously confused, concerned and resigned. In the moment when I was holding her, she completely relaxed and we could both tell that she felt safe. It was like a sigh of relief to her, and it was absolutely incredible.

Camelia will be delivered this afternoon!!! I'm so excited!

The poor little girl. Who knows what her life must have been like before. I'm very glad she's in safe hands now and I hope you have many years together.
Posted 10 January 2014 - 08:40 PM
Thank you! She's home, safe and sound!
Posted 11 January 2014 - 05:18 PM
Hi Dani, how's Cami going? Is she loving her new home with decent feed?
Posted 12 January 2014 - 04:00 PM
Cami is doing great! I can't wait to go see her this afternoon!
Posted 13 January 2014 - 03:13 AM
I spent some time grooming Cami today. What a sweetie!
My friend Sue, the friend who went with me to look at the horses last week, is coming up later this morning and we're going to take Cami for a walk. She's too skinny to ride (and will be for a few months), but hand walking will be good for her. It will give us time to bond, too.
Posted 13 January 2014 - 03:42 AM
Give Cami a big hug from me. She is one lucky girl
Posted 13 January 2014 - 12:32 PM
I will, Jan!
Posted 13 January 2014 - 06:55 PM
Holy moly, I have one happy pony!! She's been getting food (in the kill pen and at home) for over a week now, and she feels GOOD!! LOL
I'll have pics a bit later, my friend has to get home (an hour drive) and get them uploaded.
We did a bit of grooming (can't do too much at once because I don't want to make her skin sore...she has no fat to cushion her bones) and she's looking much better. She stood like a ROCK while we were de-mudding her legs, I really think she was a show horse at one point in her life...she's used to people fussing over her.
Then we took her for a walk. She was ready to GO, and that was so great to see! She was a bit naughty at first, but once we were outside for a little while she calmed down and was okay. We stopped for a photo shoot (will post pics) and then went for a walk in the back pasture, which she loved. We also passed a field with a couple of cows in it, and she was VERY interested in them when they came over to say hi. LOL
Also, she is in heat so she is NOT pregnant! Yay!!!
The difference between the sad, dejected horse in the kill pen who just wanted to be loved and this happy, spunky girl who realized that her life is a whole heck of a lot better now is incredible. I love it!
Posted 13 January 2014 - 09:14 PM
I saw the photos on Facebook. Human and horse looked very happy together. She is certainly changing including her facial expression. Good work Dani.
Posted 13 January 2014 - 09:23 PM
Posted 14 January 2014 - 09:16 AM
UGH!!! My eyes are all sweaty now and I could barely see the last photo!
My heart is filled with love and compassion. Thanks for what you do!

A recent study found that a single 30-minute session of hatha yoga reduced cravings to smoke among daily smokers. This may come as little surprise to yoga practitioners; anecdotally, many former smokers quit after starting the practice of yoga, and research suggests yoga practitioners are less likely to smoke than their non-yoga practicing peers.
Furthermore, yoga has been shown to improve parameters considered barriers to successful tobacco cessation (i.e. perceived stress, negative affect, weight control), and features constituents that may optimize self-regulation (breathing, focused attention, mindfulness) which may support attempts to quit smoking.
Researchers randomly assigned 76 smokers to one of three conditions following a 1-hour nicotine abstinence intended to increase cravings: 1) 30-minutes of brisk treadmill walking, 2) 30 minutes of Hatha Yoga, and 3) a nonactivity control condition. Questionnaires assessing craving, mood, and smoking cue reactivity were administered prior to, immediately following, and ~20 minutes after each condition.
Compared to the control condition, both yoga and walking were found to lessen cravings, increase positive affect, and decrease negative affect. Smoking-cue driven cravings were decreased in the walking condition, whereas general cravings were attenuated in the yoga group.
There are a number of potential ways that yoga may reduce cravings. One such way is by instilling mindfulness, the quality of being present and aware of each moment as it unfolds without judgment. Research suggests yoga promotes mindfulness, which has in turn been found to reduce overall cigarette consumption and attenuate cravings. One layer of mindfulness is body awareness. As one becomes more attuned to experience, sensation, and breath, cigarettes may no longer prove quite as alluring across a number of domains.
Two other potential mechanisms or mediators which may explain yoga's beneficial effects are acceptance and self-compassion. At the heart of yoga is an acceptance of life as it is, honoring one's strengths as well as limitations, and cultivating compassion for onself and others (although the extent to which this is taught and valued varies across traditions). Emerging research on the construct of self-compassion suggests it's preliminary efficacy in reducing food cravings and smoking frequency, while support for acceptance-based protocols, while in the early stages, is even more robust.
Research currently underway may help us understand more about how yoga reduces smoking cravings. Scientists at Brown University have a grant from NCCAM to investigate the impact of an 8-week, cognitive-behavioral (CBT) program plus twice-weekly yoga classes, compared to CBT plus an educational control intervention. This study also aims to elucidate potential mediators, or mechanisms, such as increases mindfulness and spirituality, which may explain why yoga is an effective smoking cessation aid.
Have you or your friends found yoga to be effective for your attempts at quitting smoking?
