Obscure Objects of Desire: On Jeffrey Eugenides
In The Marriage Plot, Eugenides has abandoned his literary fathers once and for all in favor of the mother of modern fiction. This time around, he pays his respects to the themes and form of the nineteenth-century novel, tracing the murky mating rituals of a group of young adults at the end of the twentieth century. The book's title refers not simply to the narratives beloved by Eugenides's heroine but also to his own Yenta-ish machinations on her behalf. In addition to Thurston Meems, the semiotics seminar introduces Madeleine to Leonard Bankhead, a philosophy and biology double major with campuswide heartthrob status. Despite swearing off sex to focus on important things like school and career, Madeleine succumbs to the dictates of the genre and falls for Leonard, who obliges her with the college male's usual approach to romance; his pursuit of Madeleine is so casual that a person unversed in the relevant signs might take them for indifference. Fortunately, there is one work of semiotics that Madeleine respects, Roland Barthes's A Lover's Discourse, which she consults as a kind of I Ching of romantic behavior, parsing her anxieties with the help of the mystical text. Being "too needy" or "like a little girl" sounds more dignified when cast as Barthesian utterances: "the lover is intolerable (by his heaviness) to the beloved." A series of awkward encounters of the second-semester-senior kind soon leads to a feast of sex and pizza in Leonard's apartment, and then to plans to move together to the prestigious research lab on Cape Cod where Leonard has been offered a postgraduate fellowship.
From her thesis research, Madeleine must have learned that in Victorian novels a union that occurs well before the final pages doesn't tend to spell happiness for the heroine. Confusing romantic love with a chance to apprentice herself to a great mind, Dorothea Brooke let herself be married off early in Middlemarch, only to grow fed up with caring for her solipsistic scholar of a husband, whose great opus was obsolete well before it could be finished. In The Marriage Plot, Leonard admits to himself that he's "characterized by excessive introspection or worry. Gloomy, depressive. See basket case." This hits close enough to Casaubon to give pause, but Leonard's gloom is caused by a mental disorder rather than mental ambitions. That he suffers from crippling manic-depression is a twist revealed only in the aftermath of the couple's temporary break-up, thrusting Madeleine into helpmeet mode. She finds herself on Cape Cod without a job, friends or pursuits of her own, committed to nursing a near-catatonic Leonard as he toils, under the weight of depression, to test an obscure hypothesis on yeast cell reproduction that has little chance of producing anything useful to anyone.
If the grandstanding Thurston Meems (or Paul Auster, an author he surely would have admired) were at the keyboard, Madeleine would come across a book called The Marriage Plot in some hidden corner of the Brown stacks and use a discussion of her own romantic dilemmas to top off her thesis before Leonard so much as crosses her path. But Eugenides has the classic form on the brain and wants to do the thing right. "Begin at the beginning," instructs the King of Hearts in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, that supreme pastiche of all things Victorian, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop." Eugenides dutifully tracks Madeleine and Leonard from flirtation to fornication to cohabitation, as well as the exploits of a third soul wandering the earth in a post-college daze. With his Detroit upbringing and Greek ancestry, Madeleine's friend Mitchell Grammaticus bears more than a passing resemblance to his author. Only vaguely aware of Madeleine's developments since graduation but jealous of them anyway, the lovelorn Mitchell sets off on a spiritual journey that leads from Paris and Athens to Mother Teresa's Home for Dying Destitutes in Calcutta. He's been smitten with Madeleine ever since he witnessed an in-dorm nip slip and was then treated to a vodka-soaked Thanksgiving at her family's New Jersey manor during freshman year, and has never stopped fantasizing that they will get married once she gets around to returning his affection.
* * *
Yes, married. Mitchell wants to be, Madeleine wants to be. Leonard doesn't seem to care one way or the other, but what with the mental, not to mention sexual, incapacitation brought on by his depression and lithium meds, he is desperate not to be left by Madeleine. Leonard starts fiddling with his medication to get himself into working order, and is soon shooting out of his stupor and toward mania on the mental equivalent of Willy Wonka's Great Glass Elevator. One might expect that Madeleine would grow concerned, rather than overjoyed, at Leonard's near-instantaneous transition from agony to ecstasy, or that someone so studious might have done the research it takes to suspect that a person in that state cannot be declared, as she "slyly, happily" declares Leonard to be, "better." One would be underestimating the powers of love. The single article about depression that Madeleine glances at speaks optimistically of the possibility of cures; when she receives a second article, from her mother, written by a woman whose husband suffers from the illness, she crumples it up. "All of this might have bothered Madeleine more if Leonard's neediness hadn't appealed to her so much," Eugenides tells us. On with the wedding!
So Eugenides is a romantic, but we knew that already. The feelings of the neighborhood boys for the Lisbon sisters in The Virgin Suicides are so flooded with admiration and wonder that even sex is a matter of starry-eyed love rather than lust. Cal, the narrator of Middlesex, almost ruins his chances with the first woman he has cared about since he was an adolescent girl before Eugenides lets him wind up with his crush in bed in the book's final pages. The novel's equivalent of a slow fade-out to swelling violins hints that this is a forever-after deal: "'I might be your last stop, too,' I said, clinging to her. 'Did you ever think of that?'" (The violins return in The Marriage Plot, sawing away louder than ever after the mention of Barthes's assertion that saying "I love you" only means something the first time around: "Light came into Madeleine's eyes. 'I'm done then, I guess,' she said. 'Not me,' Leonard said, holding her hand. 'Not me.'" Chapter break.) Cal uses the name of a Buñuel film, That Obscure Object of Desire, as an alias for a former beloved. It could also be the subtitle to each of Eugenides's wildly different novels.
Still, a bunch of 22-year-olds scrambling to get married? Mental illness and religious quests are natural foibles for the class of 1982, but taking Madeleine and Leonard off the market before they're more than a few months out of college and into their relationship seems a forced, if not altogether deluded, move. Victorian novelistic conventions or no, what is this generation doing fantasizing in only the vaguest, most bourgeois terms about the comforts of mating for life like pre-pubescents who haven't heard of the sexual revolution, much less grown up in its wake? Here's Mitchell: "How long had he been secretly hoping to marry Madeleine Hanna? And how much of his desire to marry Madeleine came from really and truly liking her as a person, and how much from the wish to possess her and, in so doing, gratify his ego?"
Mitchell is reflective enough to grasp that he may want Madeleine more as a trophy than a life partner, yet he doesn't question why marrying her is the only way to make that happen. He has, we learn, been called out in the past "for sexist behavior" like gazing at women in the street. That's a bluff. Desire isn't sexist, no matter the crude comparisons between sleeping with women and evaluating the ripeness of watermelons made by Father Marucci, the Catholic priest Mitchell consults for advice on celibacy. Mitchell has the romantic's, not the chauvinist's, unexamined infatuation with marriage, and Eugenides is satisfied to let it remain so: unexamined by either character or writer, a vague notion of yearning and devotion presented at face value and never, even after Mitchell's hope of possessing Madeleine body and soul finally pops with less splutter than a soap bubble, as something more emotionally or intellectually complicated. During a Quaker service when he accepts at long last that Madeleine will never love him, Mitchell cries "for the last ten minutes, as quietly as he could." He then picks himself up and gets on with his life, going straight to Madeleine to report the good news. "She wasn't so special, maybe. She was his ideal, but an early conception of it, and he would get over it in time. Mitchell gave her a slightly goofy smile. He was feeling a lot better about himself, as if he might do some good in the world." No scene made, no harm done. The dream is politely deferred without so much as a whimper.

Ok audible The app keeps stopping to listen to it's own commands. I have a samsung s5 with lollipop. The behaviour also a occurs with a in car bluetooth audio system. Please include an option to turn off the voice commands.

30 day trial didn't live 30 minutes Full 4g signal and still couldn't stream audio. No obvious way to download whole book. I would have listened to this while driving a semi but too buggy even when parked. Yet I can watch YouTube with out an issue. Really? Also restarted book twice and when screen slept book ended.

Love Audible The app is great. I just finished a book that was part of the series and it showed me the next 2 books so I was able to buy with 1 click and keep the magic flowing. I like that it syncs with the desktop app so I never lose my place and that I can change speeds to speed things up.
Lori Herrera
Where'd the sound go? This app is messing with the sound on the phone. Every time a text comes in the sound shuts off while I'm listening to the book. I have to restart the phone just to hear anything.
Kristofer Davis
One large problem Can't find a way to just stream the books from the cloud rather than downloading the whole thing. Boo.
David Mathenge
My reading companion! I listen to my recorded books regularly. This app makes my days and nights! Greatly needed when I relax with my coffee and cigarette while at break or with my rubber gloves at home chores.

Worse and worse Ive been an audible customer for a number of years now. Was an awesome app even if a bit expensive. Each update seems to make it a little bit worse. Newset update ceased sd use. I can't even download several of my new purchases. Personally im just about done with audible. I think I will be using my local library audio book app.
No need to see my contacts I installed the app but when I realised that they can see my contacts I uninsulated. Why oh why can't they just provide a service without invasion of privacy?

Hello Mordechai, There is a brand new share functionality that is part of an Audible program called OneBook. OneBook is currently in a limited beta, to learn more and sign up for OneBook, visit: https://www.audible.com/mt/OneBook-Waitlist. Best regards, Audible Android team Minimally Sufficient This player has the functions needed to listen to a book. It hangs up on my lenovo tablet but never on my iPhone. I like the add notes feature but I wish it wouldn't pause the audio. An optional setting would be nice. Due to the layout, on several occasions I have attempted to add a note to a bookmark and hit a button or another part of the screen which exited the notes feature. When I attempted to return to finish my note, to my disappointment it had not saved what I had already typed.
Favorite app. I live on this app. I get headache reading, now I don't have to give up my favorite activity. In addition I can multitask when cooking, performing chore, driving or when at places where there is a lengthy wait. My kids are not big on reading but are will to use this app rather than read.
Share Audible book isn't what you think This 'New Feature' isnt new and doesn't allow a friend or family to listen to one of your books, it just lets you send an email telling them what you're listening to. This update wants your contact list but doesn't NEED it for any 'feature'! I still love the app, but this scheme is what Google tries to avoid being, EVIL.

Best regards, Audible Android team Walk to audiobooks I walk to work listening to audiobooks every morning and love this app. It never loses my spot, let's me switch between multiple books at once and keeps everything in my library very organized. If there's a better audiobooks book app out there I haven't found it. This app rocks! So much better than iTunes.
5 star rating prior to the latest rights creep Access to contacts along with needing to know what numbers I'm dialing? Sorry, but, just like I had to dump amazon music for the lack of SD card support, it's time to start looking for a replacement audio book service. Amazon needs to keep in mind that this is an expensive, premium service. I will not tolerate the invasion of my privacy.
I'm totally addicted! This is a fabulous app in design, function, and ease of use. If something happens, and your phone turns off or you accidently leave your phone in a place where your toddler and manhandle it, audible is easy enough to use to find your lost place; though normally it keeps your bookmark if something happens. It's simplicity in adding and removing books is great! The only problem I have isn't even with this app but the audible site itself, because it's not amazon and it's easy to forget your login information!
A Child Called Blessed This story really blew my socks off! It is about a child that is left at the door of a monastery at birth. He is only subjected to Christian values. So he turns out to quite a special little guy. This story takes you to places you would never expect. Is should say no more or I would give the wonderful surprises in this book away!
New Read Contacts feature I just found out the new "Read Contacts " feature is for the new "Share" - in a book: hit the 3 dots menu, choose Share & you can share a link to the book at Audible and your comments. They aren't sharing our "Library Card", but we can if we choose & with whom we choose.
Barely Usable It'd be nice if Amazon would stop being obstinate and conform to the Material Design style principles. The store is ugly and clunky, the UI is awkward, there aren't enough features for serious audio book readers, and it just feels "good enough." I only use it because of my PAID subscription to Audible. The badge notifications are pointless, too. This app makes me want to just steal audio books in mp3 so that l can use ANY other app for listening.
Very disappointed I recently got a new phone. I downloaded the app, saw all of my books, and decided to download them to my sd card. I used data to download the books. None of my books downloaded (even though I had watched the downloads begin). I tried again, but no luck. Apparently, even though Audible still gives you the option to download to sd, it doesn't actually let you do so anymore. Not cool. Thinking about uninstalling.
Almost decent, though it has some strange and problematic behaviors in my car (Bluetooth). It will skip forward several chapters if I receive a phone call or if any notifications make a sound. When this happens it is hard to find my place again. Also I would love to have an 'auto rewind n seconds' when it resumes after being disrupted by phone calls. I feel Smart Audiobook Player is much more polished, though that will not work with audio books purchased on Audible
Love Audible! Wishing they had more freebies, but it's a great app I use all of the time. My only complaint is the badges are still a little off. They have improved. But I should have definitely got the nibbler badge by now. P.S. It also would be really awesome if we got actual rewards (ex.: discounts, a book, a credit) for reaching certain goals (other then just bragging rights). P.S.S. Also being able to sort books based on narrators would be nice too.
Makes no sense A month free, and it gives u one free book from a crapy list of titles... If you want to chose a different book you could be looking at more than £20 just for one single book.. Its insane, I expected a service like amazons streaming movie service... So why pay £8 a month only to buy the books any way... When I click on cancel subscription it tells me to call customer service lol. Awful
Long term audible user I have been using audible for a long time, I own more than 250 audio book titles. My one complaint about this program is that it recently started draining my battery too fast. It would drain an Xperia z3 battery down to less than 30% in less than 4 hours of listening. I used to be able to go on listening all day on a single charge. Something odd is going on with current version.

Palisades Park – Mr. Freddy "BOOM BOOM" CannonJul 7, 2003
Popular Products in Music
The Bottom Line Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon was born "Frederico Anthony Picariello" on 4 December 1939 in Lynn, Massachusetts
Freddy grew up with musical parents as his dad sang, played the trumpet and was the dance bandleader of a few different local groups over the years. His mom was an amateur songwriter and would eventually be part of a trio of songwriters on his Freddys first big hit. Freddy loved listening to the music of Buddy Johnson, Big Joe Turner and Chuck Berry all of which would influence his music direction. He first joined a group called The Spindrifts who released one singled titled Cha-Cha-Do that was a small local hit for them in 1955. He had his own group for a short period called Freddy Karmon & The Hurricanes. He next joined the group called The G-Clefs where he played lead guitar for them on Ka-Ding Dong that peaked at #24 on 28 July 1956. Freddy worked during the day as a truck driver and he would always try to get home in time to watch the weekday version of American Bandstand hoping someday to be goon enough to be on it himself. One day when he returned home from work his mother asked him to sit down and listen to a poem she had written and asked him to try to set it to music. In 1958 a local Boston DJ Jack McDermott gave the song that Freddy and his mom wrote titled Rock And Roll Baby to the writing team of Bob Crew and Frank Slay. They rearranged the song and gave it a new name titled Tallahassee Lassie. After they had rewritten the song they had Freddy and his group go into a recording studio to recut the song. They played the demo for Dick Clark at his house and he suggested to add a bass drum sound and hand clapping and they got Freddy to say woo as often as possible during the song. This would become one of his signature sounds in most of his music. They redid the song a 3rd and final time and Bernie Binnick the president of Swan records gave Freddy his new name of Freddy Cannon. The single would finally be released on Swan records out of Philadelphia that was co-owed by Dick Clark. On 11 May 1959 the song peaked at #6 on the US singles pop charts. It also peaked at #13 this year on the R&B singles charts. His next release titled Okefenokee peaked at #43 on the singles charts on 24 August. This was followed by Way Down Yonder In New Orleans that peaked at #3 on 23 November and sold over a million copies. It peaked at #14 on the R&B singles charts and it would be his only gold selling record of his career. In 1960 he released 5 singles that all made the charts and 2 albums but neither of these charted. His biggest hit of 1960 was Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy that peaked at #34 on 22 February 1960. This was first a #9 hit by the Peerless Quartet in 1922. It was also redone by 6 different artists in 1950 to include Red Foley, Bing Crosby, Phil Harris, Frank Sinatra, Bill Darnell and Bradford & Romano. Red Foley took the song to its highest position when it peaked at #1 for 8 weeks on the pop singles charts on 21 January 1950. On the same day it also hit #1 for him on the country singles charts where it stayed for 13 consecutive weeks. In 1961 Freddy released 2 more albums neither of which made the charts and 4 singles all of which made the top 100 charts. His biggest selling record of this year was Transistor Sister that peaked at #35 on 31 July. The following year he released only 1 album and 5 singles, all of which made the charts. His only album in 1962 was titled Freddy Cannon At Palisades Park that peaked at #101 on the charts. This would be the only album to make the charts for him. His biggest selling single of the year would also come from this album titled Palisades Park that peaked at #3 on 12 March. It peaked at #15 on the R&B singles charts and it would become his 3rd and final top 10 hit of his short career. In 1963 he released 2 albums and 2 singles the biggest of these was Patty Baby that peaked at #65 on the singles charts. He also starred in the Movie Just For Fun with Bobby Vee, Johnny Tillotson, Alan Freeman, Ketty Lester, Kenny Lynch, Sounds Incorporated, Mark Wynter and others. His contract with Swan records expired and he singed with Warner Brothers records in late 1963. In 1964 he released only one album titled Freddy cannon Sings Abigail Beecher that failed to chart and one single. The single was from the album titled Abigail Beecher and it peaked at #16 on the singles charts on 1 February. It would be his final top 40 hit on the US charts. In 1965 he released Action! that failed to make the album charts and Action the single that peaked at #13 on 14 August. The song Action was used for the title theme for the Saturday musical/variety show Where The Action Is produced by Dick Clark and hosted by Paul Revere & The Raiders. He also starred in his second Movie titled Village Of The Giants starring Tommy Kirk, Johnny Crawford, Beau Bridges, Toni Basil, Vicki London, The Beau Brummels and more. He released Freddy Cannons Greatest Hits in 1966 that failed to make the album charts. He also released The Dedication Song that peaked at #41 on the singles charts on 19 February. He would not release anymore albums or singles for at least 15 years deciding to tour and perform live all over the world. In 1981 he released a single with The Belmonts titled Lets Put The Fun Back In Rock N Roll that stopped at #81 on the charts. This would be his final charting record in the US. In 1982 he starred in the Movie The Junkman with Christopher Stone, H. B. Halicki, Susan Shaw, Lynda Day George, The Belmonts, Hoyt Axton and others. From 1995 a total of 10 different compilation Albums/CDs were released on many different labels. On 19 November 2002 he released his first ever holiday collection titled Have A Boom Boom Christmas!! on Collectables records. This collection is his own upbeat, jumping fast paced versions of some old Christmas hits as well as a few old traditional favorites. It also includes one non-holiday song a new updated longer version of his hit Palisades Park. The only CD I currently own by Freddy Cannon is The Best of Freddy boom-boom Cannon Big Blast From Boston that was released on Rhino records on 21 November 1995.

Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo!, in the land of the dreamy scenes There's a garden of Eden, you know what I mean Well, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs And then you stop! Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile? And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens Well, way down yonder in New Orleans Yeah! whoo! Jaguardogs Final Thoughts Even though Freddy Cannon had a very short career I thought he deserved a spot in my Rock N Roll History review of artists because his music was very good and influential. His sound was carefree, fast-paced, fancy-free, frolicking, fun, gleeful, happy, partying, playful, rambunctious, rowdy and very danceable. Like a saying that was used quite often on the old American Bandstand TV show when they had the rate a record segment, It had a good beat and you could dance to it. Freddy got his nickname Boom Boom from the use of loud bass drums in a lot of his recordings. This is the 1st CD I ever owed by Freddy and I just bought it last year at amazon.com and have listened to it 5 or 6 times since. I did own at one time 6 of his singles my favorites being Action and Palisades Park. That ends another part of my music history lesson for today everyone and I hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane and maybe were entertained just a little? I hope everyone has a great day, thanks for dropping by and taking the time to read and maybe leave a comment and as always God Bless You All, Ron. |

Fans of American Idol should know that Paula Abdul stepped down from her role as judge on the show earlier this month. Since her departure Idol has had various musical celebrities filling her empty chair, as guest judges as auditions go on without Abdul.
This weekend country fans trying to become the next American Idol may get excited to see Shania Twain sitting next to Randy, Simon and Kara in Chicago two days after her August 28 birthday. Maybe some belated birthday wishing may put hopefuls in her good graces? It's something to think about when trying to stand out amongst hundreds of auditions.
Twain is the top selling female artist in history with album sales of over 41 million in the U.S. few can argue that she's not qualified for the position of offering critique to amateur singers and musicians.
American Idol has found some great country stars in the past, maybe Twain will help uncover the next big country superstar.

MA: Passenger saves bus after driver suffers seizure
QUINCY, MA (NBC) — Passengers took control of a Quincy, Massachusetts bus and safely brought it to a stop when the driver suffered a medical emergency behind the wheel.
A 37-year-old MBTA driver suffered an apparent seizure.
One passenger jumped into action, grabbed the wheel and put his foot on the brake, all while he propped up the driver.
"Basically I just held him. I grabbed onto the back of the chair. Back of the -- one of the bars there, and just held him so he didn't fall out of the seat," said Richard Hiort.

Gwinnett Daily Post
NORCROSS — The Norcross girls are way too talented to ever be termed a one-person team. But just how much Diamond DeShields means to the defending Class AAAAA state champs was on full display Wednesday night.
With the super sophomore sitting with two fouls in the second quarter, Alpharetta went on a 13-0 run to take its only lead. With DeShields on the court, though, the second-round state tournament game was no contest. DeShields scored 33 points despite the bench time and Norcross moved into the Class AAAAA quarterfinals with a 61-39 victory over the visiting Raiders at the House of Blue. "I always want to be in the game," DeShields said. "But I knew that I'd messed up getting the two fouls and they had to preserve me. It's very easy to get another foul." DeShields, though, never did and Alpharetta paid. No. 2-ranked Norcross, the Region 7-AAAAA champs, will play Milton, the No. 3 seed from 6-AAAAA, at 4 p.m. on Saturday at West Georgia with a return to the Final Four next week in the Arena at Gwinnett Center on the line. "We're starting to click, just like at this time last year," DeShields said. "We have great confidence and this win gives us a lot of momentum. Alpharetta is a very good team." Last season, DeShields was one of two talented freshmen who helped carry a more veteran team. With Kaela Davis having transferring to Buford and the seniors gone, this is definitely DeShields' team. "She's much more mature, much more heady," Norcross coach Angie Hembree said. "She relied strictly on her athleticism last season. Now she is starting to understand the game much more and she has also become a real leader." But DeShields can best demonstrate that leadership when she has the basketball. On the bench, she is just an observer and cheerleader. "When you've got an athlete like that and she gets in the game, the level of energy is going to come up a lot," Hembree said. "But you've still got to have the players around her or it isn't going to matter." Norcross (26-3) jumped to a 12-2 lead as DeShields hit her first two 3-point attempts and scored 10 points. But with the Blue Devils up 20-8 early in the second quarter, the momentum temporarily shifted. DeShields went to the bench with her second foul and Alpharetta (22-6) took advantage. With Kylee Smith leading the way, the Raiders rallied and took their only lead at 21-20 on a free throw by Delaney Hollenbeck shortly after DeShields' return with two minutes left in the first half. A basket by Wake Forest signee Dearica Hamby, who had eight points, and two free throws by DeShields pushed Norcross back to a 24-21 lead, but Smith hit two shots from the line with 9.8 seconds left to pull Alpharetta with a point at halftime. Smith had 12 points at intermission, with 10 of them coming in the turnaround second quarter. After outscoring Alpharetta 18-6 in the first quarter, Norcross was outscored 17-6 in the second. Of course, DeShields wasn't on he court for most of the second quarter. With her not drawing another foul, Norcross outscored Alpharetta 37-16 in the second half. Alpharetta didn't score in the first four minutes after halftime and trailed 36-30 going into the final quarter, when DeShields and Norcross really took off. The 6-foot-1 guard scored 18 fourth-quarter points before going to the bench amid a standing ovation with 1:14 remaining. By then, Norcross led 56-37. Three of DeShields' 11 baskets were 3-pointers and she was 8-for-11 from the foul line in winning her personal battle with AAU teammate Smith, who finished with 18 points for Alpharetta. "We know a lot about each other's games and we've always wanted to guard each other," DeShields said. "It was a good match-up. It was great competition. They played her tight on me and she did a good job." But Smith didn't come close to stopping her friend. Outside of foul trouble, maybe nothing can. Alpharetta, which beat South Gwinnett 40-35 in the first round, came in as a No. 2 seed from Region 6-AAAAA after a 36-35 loss to Roswell in the title game and were tied with the Hornets for No. 8 in the coaches poll. Milton, the third-place finisher from 6-AAAAA, is ranked No. 10 and has state tournament wins over Parkview and Etowah. "We're looking forward to playing them," DeShields said. "I know that I'll have to try to stay out of foul trouble. My teammates helped bail me out this time." Actually, DeShields bailed her teammates out be not committing any more fouls and staying on the court once she returned.

FuelCell Energy (FCEL) Powers Up in First Quarter
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- FuelCell Energy (FCEL - Get Report) managed to ease investors' concerns in its most recent quarter. After the bell Monday, the developer of clean-energy fuel cell reported its first-quarter financials which demonstrated it has been able to stem widening losses and boost sales.
In premarket trading Tuesday, shares surged 18.8% to $4.67.
In the three months to January, the Danbury, Conn.-based business reported total sales of $44.4 million, a 22% year-over-year increase and $1 million higher than analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected.
Product sales grew nearly 19% to $34.5 million and advanced technologies contracts more than doubled to $5 million on higher engagement with the U.S. Department of Energy Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA).
The company reported an adjusted loss of $9 million, or 4 cents a share, compared with a loss of $12.5 million, or 7 cents a share, in the year-ago period. FuelCell has managed to limit losses by paring back administrative and selling expenses and reducing system costs by consolidating its plant functions. Earnings were in line with analysts' expectations. The company has been on a tear lately (up more than 100% since last Monday) after fellow alternative energy developer Plug Power (PLUG - Get Report) announced an expanded contract with Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report). The news indicated the use of stationary fuel cells was becoming increasingly mainstream. "We remain on track for closing multiple megawatts of orders and my confidence level is high as we have negotiated contracts for projects where we are waiting on final customer or regulatory approval," said FuelCell CEO Chip Bottone in a statement. As of Jan. 31, FuelCell's sales in backlog totaled $326.8 million.

Caviar Served Three Ways (plus a Primal Blini Recipe)
Posted By Worker Bee On December 29, 2010 @ 8:21 am In Recipes | 18 Comments
Even if you've tried to keep your head buried in the sand and avoid the media headlines this year, the onslaught of bad economic news [7] has been hard to ignore. Unemployment, defaulted mortgages, a tanking economy…it's no wonder we're looking forward to New Year's Eve more than ever, a holiday that celebrates moving forward and starting fresh. It's a holiday that encourages even the scrooges among us to be hopeful. It's also a holiday that puts us in the mood to ignore the headlines and splurge a little bit, and few foods make us feel more extravagant than caviar.
I usually publish recipes [8] here on Mark's Daily Apple on Saturdays, but I thought you might like a little lead time so you can hunt down these delicious little fish eggs before the 31st. That and I've got something else planned for the 31st (stay tuned!). In any case, back to caviar.
Caviar contains about a gram of omega-3 [9] per spoonful and is a good source of calcium, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, several B vitamins and amino acids, making it a perfectly Primal way to ring in the new year. Most gourmet food shops and fish counters keep caviar well-stocked this time of year. You're likely to encounter a confusing array of choices, with prices ranging from "affordable indulgence" to "heart-stopping extravagance."
Caviar is the eggs, or roe, harvested from sturgeon. Fish eggs are also harvested from salmon and trout and should be clearly labeled as "salmon caviar" or "trout caviar." The term "malossal" on a caviar tin means "lightly salted," which helps preserve the delicate eggs.
Wild-caught Beluga, Osetra and Sevruga caviar comes mostly from the Caspian Sea basin. These are the most expensive and also the least sustainable types of caviar, as all three varieties of sturgeon are at risk of extinction. In fact, since 2005 Beluga sturgeon has been protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and importing Beluga caviar from the Caspian Sea into the US is illegal. Caviar harvested from the Caspian Sea can also have high levels of mercury, yet another reason not to splurge. Although many caviar connoisseurs claim this is the best caviar available, the extravagant prices for wild Beluga, Osetra and Sevruga reflect not only the taste but also the scarcity of the product.
Sturgeon is also indigenous to the U.S. and was plentiful in the 19th century. So was domestic caviar, until over-fishing depleted the wild sturgeon population in the US. These days, domestic caviar has increased in popularity again among caviar-lovers in the U.S. looking for more sustainable and affordable choices. Domestic caviar is considered more sustainable because it is farmed rather than wild caught, usually using aquaculture methods. Because the delicate flavor of caviar is directly affected by the environment the fish is raised in, most producers take great care to use water free of pollutants and all-natural feed. Do your research, and buy from producers you trust.
Two varieties of domestic caviar you're likely to see at the market come from white sturgeon and hackleback sturgeon. Thought by many to be similar to Osetra and Sevruga caviar, you can expect a buttery texture and mild, nutty flavor. Less expensive options come from fish that are not sturgeon, but produce eggs that look and taste an awful lot like the real thing, such as Paddlefish and Bowfin caviar. This type of caviar has a bolder, earthier flavor. The third and most affordable option is roe taken from salmon. These eggs are bright orange, rather than black or gray, and larger in size. Whitefish caviar is also bright orange, but the eggs are tiny, just like sturgeon caviar. Salmon roe is fishier and saltier than caviar from sturgeon and instead of a buttery texture, the eggs almost pop in your mouth.
Our favorite way to eat caviar is straight from a spoon, with no other flavors interfering. (But be careful of sterling silver spoons, which impart a metallic taste onto the eggs.) If you're throwing a party, however, having guests spoon-feed caviar to themselves probably isn't the best option. In this case, an edible platform topped with a little caviar is a better way to go. Deviled eggs [10] are always a good option, as the flavor of fish eggs pairs really well with run-of-the-mill eggs. If you're looking for an appetizer that's even easier to prepare, simply slice a cucumber into rounds and pile the roe on top. The crisp, clean flavor of cucumber doesn't get in the way of tasting the true flavor of the caviar. A third and very popular way of serving caviar is on a blini, which is basically a tiny pancake. Our Primal Blinis are light and airy and easy to make.
Once caviar is opened, it should be eaten within a few days. So indulge, enjoy and have a very happy new year!
Makes 8-12 blinis
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Melt two tablespoons of butter and let cool.
Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, melted butter and salt by hand.
Gently fold egg yolks into egg whites.
Melt remaining butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
Spoon egg mixture evenly into the pan.
Let the eggs cook untouched for two minutes then move the pan into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool, then use a cookie cutter to cut out small circles.
Top with caviar and enjoy!
