Cheese & Onion Pull Apart Loaf
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 40 mins
A scrumptious pull apart bread filled with onions, cheese and parsley, with a few yummy additional extras that can be added. See the Notes below. Great with winter soups or summer antipasto, dips and salads. Adapted from a recipe on the Simply Great Meals Club website, and saved here for safe-keeping until I have a chance to make it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 0.5 (500 g) packet frozen chopped onions
- 2 cups self raising flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 60 g butter, diced
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 3⁄4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 2⁄3 cup grated tasty cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Place the frozen onions in a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 4 minutes.
- Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl; add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips to resemble fine breadcrumbs.
- Mix the egg, milk and mustard together; add them to the flour mixture and mix to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead lightly; and then divide the mixture into approximately 14 uneven pieces.
- Line a greased 14cm x 22cm loaf pan with baking paper; and place half the dough in pieces over the base.
- Sprinkle with half of the onion, cheese and parsley; then cover it with the remaining dough and the remaining onion, cheese and parsley.
- Bake the loaf in a preheated oven at 200°C /400°F for 40-45 minutes or until it is a rich golden brown.
- Notes: This is best eaten hot straight from the oven. Add chopped kalamata olives or diced bacon with the onion for a tasty addition.

This was a very tasty way to serve bread. I had the same problem that other reviewers had, in that my dough was a bit sticky and was difficult to work with. Oh well, no major castrophe really, because I will make this again, experimenting to see what variety of cheese we prefer. Made for Zaar Stars tag game.
Nice bread! I found the dough a little sticky to work with so added a little extra flour. Loved the onion and cheese flavors mixed in. This went really well with a bowl of soup. Thanks!
A really, really outstanding recipe. It has turned a bit fallish here in the Eastern U.S. and the desire to make something that had the aroma that wafts out the windows and into the fields is of particular consideration. This fit the bill perfectly as delicious to devour as is the presentation to view. This reminded me of a deep-dish pizza type of goodness. The bottom turns a crusty brown, not dark mind you, just perfect in texture and in taste. I followed this exactly except for one detail which; was my own silliness for dreaming away the day and not remembering to look at the recipe. I added the cheese (1/2) directly into the batter when I was mixing it up and kneading it slightly. Actually it turned out great, and I just added the cheese to the top along with the onions. Oh delicious-ness. I followed Karen's review of adding a bit of cayenne pepper to the top, and a couple of red pepper flakes. Thank you so much, Bluemoon! This was exceptional for all who partook. Made for *Zaar Stars* game Fall 2008.

"You can see that my eyes are not synchronized. They do not want to go together in exactly the way that they should go. This caused me many challenges and I cannot begin to accomplish what I need to do as they do not work together," President McKee recalled his wife saying on the family blog. "This will happen in your companionships if you do not work together and be synchronized in this work. You must be a team and work together like two eyes to accomplish what the Lord has called you to do."
Sister McKee's determination to overcome her challenges and commitment to the work motivated the LDS missionaries in Tennessee.
"It brought a focus to the mission," Scott McKee said. "(The missionaries') theme is, 'We can do hard things.' "
In working through this "hard thing," the McKees have learned valuable lessons.
"I've learned how good people are," Sister McKee said. "People — especially the people around here — are so good and so kind and so helpful. My family has been so good. They've given up so many things to be able to come out and support me. I'll just never be able to even let them know how much I appreciate them."
In November last year, Scott McKee sometimes wondered why this trial would come when his parents were serving a mission.
"I often would ask myself, 'Why would that happen as a mission president's wife when you're out there doing what you're supposed to do?' Scott McKee said. But 'as I've read letters, messages of people literally all around the world, I've realized just the influence she's had on so many people. There was definitely a bigger purpose to what was going on."
In late May, the McKees received a letter from the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints informing them that they would be released from their missionary service July 1, 2013, a year earlier than they had anticipated. Although they are sad to leave the mission field and especially the missionaries, they are preparing to leave the work in Tennessee and return to their home in Pocatello, Idaho.
"It is difficult to leave the mission because these missionaries are like all your children," President McKee said. "I suppose there's never a good time to go home, but in the gospel, in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints there are so many opportunities to learn and to grow and the mission field teaches you so much to remind you that the Lord really is in charge, this is his work, and we are called of God, all of us, to do what he would like us to do."
The McKee family members are grateful for the time they had to serve their mission. In their two years they saw the mission increase from 140 to 230 missionaries, as well as the creation of a new stake and new branches. They will not forget the miracles they witnessed.
"It's a great time to be serving a mission," President McKee said. "Miracles still happen."

Yahoo and Microsoft in Search Engine Pact
Yahoo and Microsoft yesterday announced plans of a joint venture to challenge the search engine giant Google. The plans include Yahoo search running on Microsoft's "Bing" technology. In return, Yahoo will handle service support for both companies' premium customers.
After lengthy negotiations and take-over speculation, the move will provide Yahoo and Microsoft with an estimated 30% chunk of the search engine market. Google currently holds the lions-share of 65%.
The deal involves Microsoft buying Yahoo's search technology for a 10 year period, but only to build it into Bing, which Yahoo will use exclusively as a platform for paid searches. A few Yahoo sites will keep its own in-house technology.
Yahoo will take on the sales force role for the two companies with both utilizing Microsoft's Adcenter Platform. Each company will keep its own sales teams and, apart from the search engine deal, will remain independent.
In the first five years, Microsoft will pay 88% of revenue from Yahoo websites, so-called "Traffic Acquisition Costs" and will guarantee search revenue for the first 18 months.
After an initial 2 year implementation phase, Yahoo expects a plus of $500 Million in operative revenue and a further 3 figure Million amount from savings in development.
Potential business partners can go to the joint website for further information, which at the moment, still looks pretty thin.

Network neutrality took center stage earlier this year, as Google and Verizon proposed a net neutrality framework to assist the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as it refines its national broadband policy. Advocacy groups such as Electronic Frontier Foundation, Free Press, and MoveOn.org -- as well as many members of the technology press corps, and developers including Facebook -- protested. "It is time to move a decision forward -- a decision to reassert FCC authority over broadband telecommunications, to guarantee an open Internet now and forever, and to put the interests of consumers in front of the interests of giant corporations," said FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps, a Democrat, in August.

A Selective Sound Receiving Microphone System Using Blind Source Separation
A new microphone system using two microphones and blind source separation is described. The system can separate objective sound and environmental noise in the same direction, then output them in real time. There is no degradation of tonal quality because of signal processing. When the sound and noise are mutually independent and the microphones pick up a linear combination of the two, an estimate can be made of the mixing matrix coefficients by minimizing the cross-correlation of output : signals.

A year ago, there was giddy anticipation at the return of hockey after a labor dispute scuttled the entire 2004-05 season.
That enthusiasm, shot through with anxiety about what the game would look like and how fans would respond, was rewarded with a return that can best be described as stunning.
In spite of dire predictions, new rules and unprecedented levels of enforcement on existing rules saw goal-scoring jump 18 percent from the 2003-04 season, the largest jump in offense in 75 years. There were more 50-goal scorers and 100-point producers than any one year in the previous decade. The rookie crop, led by Calder Trophy winner Alexander Ovechkin and including Sidney Crosby, Henrik Lundqvist, Ryan Miller and Dion Phaneuf, was the strongest in memory. The playoffs produced compelling storylines and finished with an emotional seven-game finals series in which Carolina prevailed to win its first Stanley Cup. True, only a handful of American fans watched the series outside the Raleigh area, but at its most basic level, the hockey was dynamic.
Attendance was strong in traditional hockey markets, less so in non-traditional markets, but overall, fans returned in a wholly unexpected fashion after the lockout.
So, what now?
A year later, the anticipation returns, but with a little more angst. What does the league do for an encore? How does it maintain the unexpected traction of last season and move forward in a year that might be more important than last?
The buzzword for the coming season is upkeep. It comes from executives and players, coaches and GMs.
"You don't get in shape and just stop working out," explained New Jersey netminder Martin Brodeur, a member of the NHL's competition committee. "You have to keep at it."
Players have to keep learning what is permissible, coaches have to impose schemes that allow their teams to be successful within the new economic and on-ice parameters and referees have to keep the game clean.
The competition committee wisely decided to make only the smallest of adjustments to what were significant rule changes and enforcement standards imposed a year ago.
Brodeur said the committee believed it was important to let the players have another year with the new rules and strict enforcement standards without introducing even more changes.
The anticipated relaxing of rules governing curves on sticks was approved, as was a commitment to crack down on embellishing of fouls or diving. Both make eminent sense.
"Not seeing (Jaromir) Jagr taking a penalty shot, seeing him on the bench pouting, that was ridiculous," Brodeur told ESPN.com, referring to an incident last season when Jagr was deemed to have an illegal stick prior to a shootout and was denied a chance to take part. "Most of the best players play with an illegal stick."
In the future, more rules will be imposed to aid the already improved flow of games, including restricting when goaltenders can freeze the puck. But all in time.
Barring some unforeseen dynamics, the NHL's on-ice product should continue on its arc of excitement. And if that is so, it would appear the NHL's biggest problems, its biggest challenge, will be in exposing the public, specifically the American public, to the new game.
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly acknowledged that after last year's "trial" run, this season will be crucial to the league's exposure.
One of the big challenges for the league this season will be in improving the game's exposure on its main U.S. cable carrier. OLN, which will inexplicably change its name to Versus prior to the start of the regular season, has promised to improve on a product that began in a shoddy fashion but managed to hit its stride when it provided blanket coverage of the first three rounds of the playoffs.
"By the end of the season, it was a good, solid broadcast," Daly said.
Now, if only people are able to dial in the broadcasts with some degree or regularity or certainty, things would look a whole bunch brighter.
To that end, OLN/Versus announced its penetration in the American market has jumped by 7.2 million homes since January and now tops 70 million homes nationwide. But for the deal to work for the NHL, it has to be readily accessible in big markets like Los Angeles and New York, where hundreds of thousands of hockey fans were denied the opportunity to see playoff games involving teams in those markets.
In some markets including Buffalo, local bars and restaurants had to upgrade their cable or satellite packages because OLN wasn't available on standard packages. Many simply did not.
Daly said those are concerns and areas which are under construction as the network and league enter into their second of a three-year deal (the NHL holds the option on the third year) and he hopes the games will be available on basic cable packages in more markets this coming season.
NBC, which earned raves for its production of playoff games even though they saw a big dip in ratings over ABC's broadcasts from 2003-04, will return with nine weekend offerings during the regular season, up from six a year ago, before their coverage of the finals.
"I think it was a year of transition in a lot of respects," said Daly, who praised the NBC telecasts as "the best produced games, ever, in the United States."
If there is reason for optimism that the historically murky television picture in the U.S. will become clearer in the coming months, it's the presence of long-time hockey broadcaster John Shannon, who is in his first season as the NHL's broadcasting guru.
By the end of this season, it's not beyond the realm of possibility there will be something approaching a bidding war for a product that was generally held in contempt prior to the lockout.
The other problem area the NHL must address is in the marketing of the league nationally and in individual markets.
After the widely panned "Art of War" campaign that launched the new NHL, the league has come up with a new strategy with the league's star players as the focus.
Among the league's initiatives this season will be a series of 75 mini-features produced by NHL Productions that will be available to broadcasters across the NHL. Ed Horne, the president of NHL Enterprises, told ESPN.com that having re-established a relationship with the core fan across the NHL last season, the league is focused on expanding that bond to the casual fan.
The theory is simple, if fans are twigged to the stories of a player like Jarome Iginla or Joe Thornton or Evgeni Malkin, they might be curious enough to buy a ticket. And, so the theory goes, once the fan is inside the building, the game sells itself.
The NHL is also trying to push itself into the consciousness of the American public by insinuating its logos and brands into movies and television series via the league's ongoing talks with West Coast ad agencies. The FOX show "Bones", for instance, features NHL merchandise in office shots. And on Denis Leary's critically acclaimed "Rescue Me," seen on F/X in the United States, Phil Esposito did a nice turn as a firefighter in the past season.
The NHL is also pushing its major sponsors to use its players in their spots, as well, while hip magazine FHM will shortly unveil it's first hockey-themed preview issue.
As for getting the message out in NHL cities, the NHL and the National Hockey League Players' Association have embarked on an unprecedented plan wherein each team has appointed a business representative from among its players who will work with local marketing and communications staffs, as well as with owners and managers on a league-wide basis.
"It just made common sense," explained Manny Malhotra, the business rep for the Columbus Blue Jackets. "For so many years, it seemed like the league was just kind of dictating what was good and how we were going to be marketed."
Traditionally, there are a handful of players on each team that end up being the go-to guys for public appearances, even interviews. The business reps hope to engage more of the team by helping determine which players might be best suited for different activities or promotions. The theory is the more players who develop a profile within a specific market, especially non-traditional markets, the better the connection between the team and the community.
"Our role, first and foremost, is to kind of act as a liaison between the team and the players," Malhotra said. "Not to get in the middle necessarily, but our role is more to stress the importance of everything being revenue-based."
"We're going to have to be able to step outside the traditional box a little bit," added Marty Turco, the business rep for the Dallas Stars. "There are huge barriers that we need to break down, the old mentality that hockey players just play hockey."
Business reps were invited to league meetings in Montreal this summer, the first time such an invitation had been extended, and both sides report the players took full advantage to make their feelings known.
"They were very vocal, very much a voice," said Bernadette Mansur, senior vice-president of communications for the NHL.
The NHL realized a surprising growth in revenue in its first year back as the salary cap jumped from $39 million to $44 million. Critics will suggest that is artificial growth as the league arbitrarily set the cap at a low figure in its first post-lockout season. Critics suggest the NHL will be hard-pressed to generate more growth, but Daly disagrees.
"This year coming up will be the first year of a phase of growth for the league," Daly predicted. "I do expect revenues to continue to grow."

Venezuela's Economy Grew 5.5% in Fourth Quarter From Year Ago
Venezuela's economy grew more than economists expected in the fourth quarter as a social housing program that formed the cornerstone of President Hugo Chavez's re-election bid fueled the construction sector.
Gross domestic product expanded 5.5 percent in the October through December period from a year earlier, the central bank said today, after growth of 5.2 percent in the third quarter. Growth exceeded the 4.6 percent median forecast of eight analysts in a Bloomberg survey. The economy expanded 5.6 percent in 2012.
Chavez defeated opposition challenger Henrique Capriles Radonski by 11 percentage points after ramping up real spending 20.5 percent in the first nine months of the year. The economy may contract this year after Chavez's government devalued the bolivar 32 percent Feb. 13. Inflation-adjusted spending fell 11.2 percent between the election and year-end, according to Bank of America Corp.
"This is still the effect of pre-election spending," Francisco Rodriguez, an economist at Bank of America Corp., said in a phone interview from New York. "Growth will taper off entering into the first quarter of 2013, because of the strong spending contraction in the previous quarter."
Banking, construction and commerce fueled growth in the fourth quarter by expanding 33.9 percent, 10 percent and 9.7 percent, respectively.
Venezuela posted a current account gap of $598 million, down from a surplus of $2.26 billion in the third quarter, while the capital account recorded a $4.73 billion surplus.
Venezuela's oil sector, which provides about 95 percent of export revenue to the government, rose 1.1 percent while the non-oil sector 5.4 percent.
The public sector grew 3.7 percent and private sector 5.6 percent after manufacturing expanded 2.4 percent, the bank said.
Chavez, 58, hasn't been seen in public since undergoing cancer surgery in Cuba Dec. 11. He returned to a military hospital in Caracas Feb. 18 after spending more than two months in Havana.

Diabetes and Exercise: Ideas to Get You Moving
In this article
Best Diabetes Exercises
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, just about any activity that gets your heart rate up or builds strength is a good idea. Anything from line dancing to table tennis can work. Here are a few to try.
- Walk more -- briskly. For most people with diabetes, walking is a great choice. It's easy. You can do it anywhere. You don't need any gear besides a good pair of sneakers. If you have foot problems from diabetes, though, your doctor may advise you to do exercises that get you off your feet.
- Get off your feet. If you have poor blood flow and nerve damage, opt for low-impact exercises to protect your feet from injury. Swimming and biking are both good choices.
- Consider tai chi or yoga. Some studies show that both are good ways to lower blood sugar if you have type 2 diabetes. They also help ease stress, expand your muscles' range of motion, and help improve balance, so you are less likely to fall.
- Be safe when lifting weights. Starting a weight-training program can improve your glucose levels and how you feel. You want your routine to work major muscle groups in your upper and lower body and your core. If you have vision damage or kidney problems from diabetes, though, weightlifting can hurt blood vessels and worsen some conditions. In that case, talk to your doctor before you start lifting weights.

How exactly does this plug in work with the "robots.txt" file? It does not set permissions of the "robots.txt" file, nor does it create the actual "robots.txt" file itself.
I don't see anywhere in your directions where it says to create the "robots.txt" file, nor do I see any directions to give it.
I assume then, this means I need to create the "robots.txt" file and place it in the root directory...
I did that, and set permissions of CHMOD 666 & I get an error in the Robots Meta Configuration:
Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0 in /home/bamajr.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/robots-meta/robots-meta.php on line 283
So I tried the same steps but used permissions of CHMOD 777 & I get the same error.
However, until the robots.txt file was created, there was no robots.txt dialog in your Robots Meta Configuration area.
I assume this error shows that your plug-in checks for an empty "robots.txt" file. If I put information in the robots.txt file and save it, the error goes away, but none of the data related to your plug-in is added to the robots.txt file.
Not quite sure I'm getting exactly what your plug-in does, how it does it, or how it relates to the robots.txt file.

I am one-quarter Scottish-Irish and celebrate more modestly than some, although on St. Patrick�s day, all heritages are welcome to celebrate.
Here are my do�s and don�ts for St. Patrick�s Day celebrations:
Do support your local community organization serving corn beef and cabbage dinners. Do watch �The Quiet Man� movie, featuring John Wayne falling in love with a red-haired Irish lass (Maureen O�Hara) in the Irish town of Innisfree. Do read some Irish poetry. Do march in a parade.
Don�t drink too much. Don�t stay in a small room with a bagpiper who is marching up and down, playing.
Finally, this is not a traditional activity, but certainly topical: offer to paint Clay Pell�s Prius green so he will be less likely to misplace it � on the condition that he promises not to run for governor.

If you want to go the easy, safe way, you could get a teardrop kit that includes almost everything you need to build your high quality teardrop trailer. The kit includes the hardest parts to build on your own such as the rear hatch, entry doors, and custom welded frame. To see the complete list of parts included or to order your kit, please visit:
Building from the kit will get you a professional looking teardrop trailer from the first try.
(don't forget to tell them that I sent you)
If you want to go the hard/fun way, keep reading:
Each step is one day.
Please visit my website: http://www.teardropdiy.com.
First of all, my day job is software programmer. This is my first build. I have basic knowledge of wood working and I have some tools. The build is going to take a while (a month? two?). I only have time to work on it from 8PM until I go to sleep (about 3 hours) and in weekends when we have nothing else planed.
My plan is to keep the price under $1500 $2000. You can buy already made teardrops for $4000-$11000.
My Hyundai Sonata can pull a trailer of 1000lb max. My plan is to make the teardrop be under 700lb with all the equipment inside.
The only size of plywood that I can bring home is 4'x8', so everything that's made of plywood should fit in that size.
Here is how the side wall of the trailer should look like.
A list of parts with links from where I got them:
- Trailer. I'm going to use the 4x8 Super Duty Utility Trailer from Harbor Freight Tools to built the teardrop on. On the time of creation of the website, the trailer was on sale for $350. I got in mail a %20 off coupon and that made the price $280. Note: If 4' wide is not wide enough for you, you can use this trailer . It's a little more expensive, but 1 foot wider.
- Doors. You can build your own door. I won't. I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to make it water tight, so I'm going to use already-built doors. I was lucky enough to find two brand new doors for $230 both, from someone who builds teardrop as a business. Here is his business website, he sells anything you need for a teardrop, including kits and custom made teardrops ( http://www.dnmteardroptrailers.com/ ). Note: You can use only one door on one side, and a window on the other side. I got two doors because they were cheap and I won't have to step over my wife if I have to pee at night. You also can get them from eBay .
- Vent. I need a vent to put on the top of the trailer. I need one that's able to move lots of air (the door windows won't open on my doors). From my research the best vent is " Fan-Tastic Fan ". I already ordered one from eBay for $120.
- Hatch hindge. For the big door that lifts open at the back of the trailer. This should be water proof. I'm using a " Hurricane Hinge ". Already ordered from eBay for $71. You also can get it from here .
- Porch Lights. I need two porch lights to install above the doors. Ordered 3 from eBay for $63. 12V LED.
- Dome Light. I also need some dome light for the inside the teardrop. Already ordered from eBay for $17.99. 12V LED.
- Water pump. The best pump I found is the 12V Whale GP1352 submersible water pump. You can buy it from eBay for as low as $25.
- Hatch handles. Got those from eBay .
- Aluminum. I called around all the sheet metal places that I found in my area until I got the best price. I got mine from http://www.ircalum.com , they are from Portland Oregon.
- Aluminum Molding. Go here and click "Online parts catalog" then go to "Moldings"
- Sink/Stove combo. Got it from here .
Tools I use:
- Box cutter
- Pencil
- Framing square
- Wrenches. Big ones. You'll need for the trailer 16mm, 17mm, 18mm wrenches (I suppose this depends on what brand of trailer you are using)
- Wireless drill
- Jigsaw
- Chop saw
- Table saw
- Sander
- Belt sander
Cost so far:
|Vent (Fan-tastic Fan)
|Hatch hinge (5' hurricane hinge)
|12V LED Porch lights (3 pcs)
|12V LED Dome light (1 pcs)
|Black spray paint (2 bottles)
|1/2"x4'x8' Birch plywood x 3pcs (one for the floor and 2 for the side walls)
|5mm Utility plywood 4'x8' x 2pcs (for side walls interior)
|2x4x96 x 8pcs (for the frame, not sure if I'll use all 8 of them)
|Exterior screws (1box)
|Henry Asphalt Emulsion (1 gallon)
|Bolts & washers & lock washers & nuts to bolt the floor frame to the trailer (3/8" x 3" 20pcs)
|Bolts & washers & nuts for spare wheel (1/2" x 6" 2 pcs)

Denim Review: AG Adriano Goldschmied Ex-Boyfriend Crop Jeans
Don't these jeans just scream Summer to you? This weeks denim review is on AG Adriano Goldschmied Ex-Boyfriend Crop Jeans. These were so popular last summer among the celebs like Jessica Biel, Rachel Bilson, Heidi Klum, Jessica Alba and so many more. I got these in the summer of last year (2009) and I still love them! AG Jeans have brought out a few new washes for Spring and I predict they will be a huge hit again for the coming months. I absolutely love these jeans! They are very flattering and the fit is perfect. The wash is amazing because it has been perfected over time so it looks really deep and gorgeous. The distressing is done extremely well as well, it looks really professional and like it wont fall apart at any time. What I love about AG Jeans is that each pair is numbered, they only make a certain amount of jeans for each batch so they are all individual and no 2 pairs are the same! That's what gives them a higher price tag and exclusivity. The good thing about these boyfriend jeans is that the hem is not sewn cuffed so you have the choice of rolling them down to wear them longer or cuffing them to wear them cropped. The only thing I would love to change about these jeans is the material content, they are 100% cotton so they are very rigid. I prefer stretch to my jeans. If you wear them really loose then the material content is not much of a problem but if you like them tighter, they are a little harder to move in. Fabric content aside, these are my favourite boyfriend jeans that I own, I absolutely love them! Now I want to try more of their jeans!
Overall Opinion
I really love these jeans and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to try the boyfriend fit. They have a gorgeous wash and beautiful distressing. They are very well made and each pair is unique so they are definitely worth the money! Scroll down for close up photos of the jeans, modeled pictures by me and more candids of celebs in these jeans.

AnnaLynne McCord was spotted out shopping in Beverly Hills over the weekend wearing her PUR Premium Denim Fleece Leggings. These are available online at www.purpremium.com. What do you think of them? They look really cute and comfy to me.
Courteney Cox in Paige Premium
Cougar Town actress Courteney Cox, went to dinner in West Hollywood, California wearing a very smart and classy outfit. Courteney is another celeb to jump on the Paige Premium denim legging bandwagon! Heidi Klum, Jess Alba and more have the Verdugo jeggings. Courteney chose the Coal wash just like Heidi, I think it's a pretty wash. Her outfit here reminds me a lot of how Paige Adams-Geller dresses, she looks beautiful! Buy these jeans at Paige Premium.

When he worked for Donald Reid and Co Ltd he was involved
with Central Otago's first calf sale, which was held at the
Lauder railway yards on March 31, 1965.
''There were eight vendors, including the Hamiltons, Milnes,
Gillespies, Beatties, McDiarmids, Manns, Beckers and
Williamsons and we had 420 calves,'' Mr Townsend said.
While there were regular cattle sales held, until then the
beef calves - all shorthorn, Hereford, or black poll - were
sold privately.
''The local agent, Reg Alderson, said he would create the
first-ever calf sale in Central Otago,'' Mr Townsend said.
''As I was the junior agent I was sent to assist Mr Alderson.
''We penned the calves in the yards and then build yards
around them''The railway yards were in the middle of Lauder,
opposite the Lauder Hotel, and they backed on to the pub, Mr
Townsend said.
Everything went well until the calves heard the steam train
coming along the track, he said.
He was sent to tell the driver to take it quietly and not
sound his whistle.
''But as he pulled out of the station he forgot and tooted
his whistle, which upset the calves, and then the yards
collapsed and the calves panicked and piled into a corner.
''It took us two hours to sort them out before the sale could
go ahead.
''There were no injuries, just a mess.
''Reg was a big man and he was that wild he chased after the
driver, but the train kept going to get away from him.''
A second calf sale with less commotion took place on March
30, 1966, which was even bigger, with 470 calves.
The opposition company, Wright Stephenson decided to start
its own calf sale at the Omakau railway yards in 1966 on the
same day. By 1967 Donald Reid, Wright Stephenson and other
companies combined to build yards in Omakau.

McDonnell, the identical twin to IBF world title challenger Jamie, claimed the Central Area strap with a sixth round KO over Scott Gladwin. He now sees huge opportunities on the horizon should he beat Economides tomorrow.
Gavin turned pro in December 2010 and within a year he coasted to 4-0 without losing a round on the way. He then recorded a four round points draw with young novice Ashley Lane, but has since come back stronger with stoppage wins in his last two contests.
Is Gavin starting to feel comfortable in the professional ranks?
"Yeah, I'm feeling really settled as a pro now. It seems to suit me better the longer the fight goes on.
"I think that's why I might have started getting some stoppages as with my good fitness level I seem to get to my opponent as the fight progresses. A couple of my four rounder's I nearly got the stoppage but just ran out of time."
There's hardly ever an easy fight in a British title eliminator. Moving up to this level, the fans expect to see two fighters worthy of contesting the coveted Lonsdale belt. Gavin knows that fighting Economides will be his toughest test to date, but is still confident of winning.
"I think as you progress every fight should be a bigger test. That's the only way you get better, its no good taking a backward step after you have moved up a level.
"He's a lot more experienced than the other lads I have beaten and knows his way around the ring. I know he is good for the ten round distance so I am well prepared for a tough fight."
Gavin's brother Jamie won the British bantamweight belt with a win over Hackney stylist Ian Napa in 2010. Ever since he turned professional, Gavin has been dreaming of winning the title and can now see his dream is turning to reality.
"All fighters want to win the British belt. I know I am capable of it and the fact that I am so close to getting a title fight is starting to sink in. It's great to win the title but what I would really love to do is defend it three times and win the belt outright. You gain so much experience fighting at this level which will help further my career."
Gavin's promoter, formidable ex-boxer Stefy Bull, is still relatively new to the promotional side of the sport. The last twelve months have seen him build a healthy stable of fighters in his Mexborough gym. At this moment in time, Gavin is leading the pack and Stefy expects big things from him.
Bull says: "The sky is the limit for Gavin. I will never forget being in the bar in France after Jamie won his European title, and Gavin announced he was going to turn pro.
"He only had five amateur contests (which included wins over John Murray and Ross Burkinshaw). Now look at him. He's fighting in an eliminator for a British title in his 9th fight.
"The lad is 110% committed to boxing so there's no reason why he cant reach the top."

We were off by about 10 to go to the souks (markets). We are getting good at the metros after a few mistakes. We didn't notice that there are cars reserved for women and children until someone pointed it out.

... the guy we rented from hadn't paid yet so he needed someone to pay for the room. We explained to him he needed to work with AirBNB and the guy to get the money, and we were not going to pay. We told him to call AirBNB or the guy and he said no one would pick up either call. To us that was his problem not ours. While we argued with him, I called an Uber. We told him that checkout isn't til noon and it was 930am, so he'll probably get paid around noon? Karen ...
Due to the cyclone and some engine trouble overnight we arrived in Dubai later than expected. We had a leisurely breakfast after stretch and watched our entry into the port. It was very smoggy / dusty and the skyscrapers were difficult to see. Port Rashid is a huge working port and we had to catch a bus or taxi into the city. Stepping off the ship onto the dock was like stepping into a sauna. As we were going to meet ...

News and Activities
Hawkes Bay DFAS is a registered charitable organisation and will make charitable donations to the community with surplus funds.
Suitable recipients will generally be identified by suggestions from members or approaches from requesting organisations, groups or individuals.
In the past year $5000 was donated to MTG Hawke's Bay for educational programmes and learning experiences that the museum conducts for low decile schools in Hawke's Bay and $10,000 to the Frances Hodgkin's Project (working in association with New Zealand DFAS) helping to bring the achievements of New Zealand's most celebrated expatriate artist Frances Hodgkins (1869 – 1947) to the world's fingertips.
Media articles HB Today & Napier Mail
The Frances Hodgkins project is an initiative from Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki that will see the development of an online catalogue raisonne; a listing of all known artworks by Hodgkins. Launching in 2017, the online resource will provide the most comprehensive information and the latest research on Hodgkins to date, as well as images of the painter and her works sourced from around the world. A major exhibition and accompanying book on Frances Hodgkins is also scheduled for 2017.
The project is being led by Mary Kisler, Senior Curator and Catherine Hammond Research Library Manager at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki. Mary Kisler will be visiting Hawke's Bay in September to identify works by Hodgkins.
Decorative Arts purchases made with funds from the HBDFAS
Bowl, 1930s
William Cyne Farquharson (b.190, d.1972)
wheel cut and engraved glass Birmingham, England
Purchased with funds from the Hawke's Bay Decorative and Fine Arts Society and Webb Trust, 2013/39/4
Purchased for $1200.00 from Art and Industry, Auckland
Clyne Farquharson studied at the Birmingham School of Art from 1920 – 1924. On leaving, he was appointed Chief Draughtsman at John Walsh Walsh Ltd., quite a senior position for an 18 year-old graduate. He remained with the company until the closure of the factory in 1951.
It is rare to see a designer's signature on the glassware manufactured by the crystal houses of the West Midlands - Clyne Farquharson, however, was an exception. Two pattern books from the 1920s provide us with the earliest named evidence of his work but he is best known for four very successful designs by the names of 'Leaf', 'Kendal', 'Barry, and 'Albany', launched in 1936.
This range all feature deep cutting and mechanical rather than acid polishing.
Alongside Keith Murray and William Wilson, Clyne Farquharson is considered a leader of British glass design in the inter-war period.
Vase, 1930s
Etling (estab. 1909, closed 1940s)
Paris, France
Purchased with funds from the Hawke's Bay Decorative and Fine Arts Society and Webb Trust, 2013/39/6
Purchased for $1200.00 from Art and Industry, Auckland
In 1909 Edmond Laurent Etling founded Etling glassworks in Choisy-le-Roi in the southeastern suburbs of Paris. Alongside his glassware he also commissioned ceramics, ivory and bronze which he sold through his shop in central Paris. Etling called upon the leading freelance designers of the time including Dimitri Chiparus, A. Godard, Claire-Jean Roberte Colinet, Lucille Sévin and her husband Jean Theodore Delabassé, Gazan, Georges Béal, Maurice Guiraud-Rivière and Marcel Guillard.
As exemplified in this vase, Etling glassware was typically opalescent and featured the characteristic clean lines and natural motifs of the Art Deco period. His use of opalescent glass created a particularly appealing soft glow when lit by electric lamps.
Etling's entire output was in the Art Deco style as neither himself nor his company survived WWII.

University of Michigan, University of Minnesota-Duluth to square off for NCAA title
by George Malik on 04/08/11 at 02:11 AM ET
Comments (2)
On Saturday at 7 PM EDT, the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota-Duluth will battle for the NCAA Division I Men's Hockey Championship (and the game will air on ESPN2 and ESPN3.com) in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Michigan advanced via a 2-0 victory over the University of North Dakota. Shawn Hunwick stopped 40 shots for Michigan. North Dakota lost forward Brock Nelson, who was stretchered off the ice after losing his footing while being checked by Luke Glendening, who was not penalized on the play.
In the other semifinal, the University of Minnesota-Duluth rallied from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits to defeat the University of Notre Dame 4-3, scoring a remarkable three goals on the power play while killing all five of Notre Dame's man advantages.
Red Wings prospect Riley Sheahan did not fare in the scoring for Notre Dame, registering 3 shots but also taking an interference penalty which gave Minnesota-Duluth the opportunity to score it 4-2 goal.

The Red Wings could take a lesson from Michigan's effort last night - relentless defense, great penalty killing and incredible goaltending can beat any team. This was a bigger, faster, higher goal scoring North Dakota team and the Wolverines blanked them! Now go get that championship! LET'S GO BLUE!!!

Hearing Frequencies of Local Semi-Aquatic Turtles
|Allison Shannon
|Faculty Mentor(s)
|BIO 489: Research in the Natural Sciences
Although a great deal of information known about Chelonians focuses on the anatomy of the ear, there have been few investigations on the hearing-range and mechanism of hearing in these animals. The first attempt in turtles to record electrophysiological activity in response to sound stimuli was made by Foa and Peroni in 1930 (The Reptile Ear 1978). In 1956, Wever and Vernon carried out a further series of experiments in which the electrical potentials of the inner ear were used to measure auditory sensitivity in three common turtle species, Chrysemys p. picta, Chrysemys scripta, and Clemmys insculpta. Their studies, as well as those compared with other scientists, consistently showed a high degree of sensitivity in the low frequencies between 100 and 700 Hz. Tones above this range showed a very rapid decline of response (The Reptile Ear 1978).
Two attempts have been successful in collecting electrophysiological data from sea turtles; one study performed on juvenile green sea turtles (Ridgway et al., 1969) and one study on juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Bartol et al. 1999). In contrast to terrestrial and semi-aquatic species, sea turtles have a thick layer of subtympanal fat under a tympanum that is a continuation of the facial tissue (Bartol et al. 1999). It is understood that the tympanum does not inhibit sounds reception, but instead acts as additional mass loading to the ear, allowing for reduction in the frequency sensitivity. In these two experiments aerial and vibrational stimuli were tested on the sea turtles in frequencies ranging from 30-2000Hz; results for stimuli revealed that green sea turtles detected limited sound frequencies (200-700 Hz) and displayed a high level of sensitivity at the low tone region.
The main goal of my study is to determine whether or not semi-aquatic turtles hear differently in two different medium: air and water. However, collecting hearing data from low frequency underwater sound sources can be problematic. The long waveform sounds will readily bounce off any surface (tank walls, floor, air-water interface, etc.) and cause harmonics in the signal. Recently, Bartol and Ketten (in prep) developed methods to collect auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) from sea turtles underwater. Using a hydrophone and matlab generated waveform, they were able to control the signal, produce tones underwater, and collect ABRs from greens, loggerheads, and Kemp's ridleys. I plan to use these same methods in order to investigate the hearing frequency of local semi-aquatic turtles, turtles which spend much of their days occupying both aquatic and terrestrial environments. These techniques are well suited for experiments with semi-aquatic turtles because they are noninvasive, rapid and require no additional training of the test subjects. This technique involves the presentation of an acoustic stimulus to the subject and simultaneously recording the evoked neural response from electrodes on the scalp, in this case by using a Tucker Davis Technologies system. The electrodes will be placed on both sides of the frontal parietal plate on the dorsal surface of the head. In addition, a reference electrode will be inserted in the skin immediately behind the skull over the extension of the supraoccipital and a ground electrode will be placed in the inactive skin of the lateral neck. Fortunately, the placement of the electrodes will not require surgery and the animal will not be anesthetized for the trials, and all methods will
follow protocols set up by Bartol et al. (1999). These methods have received
IACUC approval from Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William
and Mary and will be subject to review by the new VWC IACUC committee." Stimuli will be generated using a matlab program, presented using a low frequency speaker, and all sounds will be continuously recorded using a hydrophone located next to the turtle's tympanum. Presentation of an acoustic stimulus to the turtle produces synchronized discharges of large populations of neurons within the auditory pathway. As the stimuli are presented to the turtles, auditory evoked potentials will be extracted from the EEG using signal averaging techniques. These data will be analyzed, auditory brainstem responses will be extracted, and ABRs will tracked to approximate threshold. By collecting data in both air and water, I will be able to determine if these semi-aquatic turtles are listening to different frequencies in the different media. In conducting this experiment, I hope to establish the groundwork for understanding hearing frequencies of semi-aquatic turtles.

Basic Basil Pesto
Simplicity reigns in this traditional sauce—just basil, garlic, cheese and olive oil. Our one modification? We like omega-3-laden walnuts in the mix for their crunch and delicate flavor, but pine nuts, almonds, pecans or even pistachios may be substituted for the walnuts.
- 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves, (2-3 bunches)
- 1/4 cup walnut pieces, toasted (see Tip)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 large clove garlic, quartered
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Step 1
- Place basil, walnuts, Parmigiano-Reggiano, oil, water, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor; pulse a few times, then process until fairly smooth, or to the desired consistency, scraping down the sides occasionally.
Tip: To toast walnuts: Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
