Messages of Peace at Carlton Gallery
Toni Carlton's new art studio upstairs at Carlton Gallery is a feature of the Avery Tour De Art on Saturday, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Carlton's main focus for her art is the connection between all people to spread peace, whether it is in one's heart or throughout the world. Her mixed media collages and paintings project an ethereal world created through her poetic imagination.
Having opened one of the first artist-owned galleries, Woven Works Art Gallery and Studios, in the early '80s, Carlton has kept art thriving in the Grandfather Community near Foscoe on N.C. 105, now with Carlton Gallery.
Carlton's early work was primarily fiber, including traditional patterns, woven on grandmother Nellie Carlton's loom, landscape tapestries, contemporary wall hangings, clothing designs and sculptural basketry.
For the past 19 years, she has expressed messages of peace and the interconnectedness of all people through drawings and paintings in a series called "Spirit of the Heart."
For many years, Carlton has incorporated mixed media collage, writings and blessings of peace into her contemporary artwork to continue the theme of "Art Blessings," which integrates images from her personal life experiences, written messages, calligraphy and photographic images from travels and a love of dance. Through the layers of collage, painting and transfer images, she revisits her spiritual journey as an artist through time.
From her Native American heritage, along with studies and inspiration from the Eastern philosophies, Carlton has the insight to bring many different customs, cultures and nationalities together in her mixed media artwork. Several pieces of her art have been included in calligraphy exhibitions in Seoul, Korea; Beijing, China; and Geneva, Switzerland over the past four years.
Carlton Gallery's 28th Autumn Exhibition which continues through Nov. 15. The gallery is located in the Grandfather Community, 10 miles south of Boone on N.C. 105 and 7 miles north of Linville. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

A man accused of throughout Anne Arundel, Prince George's and Queen Anne's counties pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges in Anne Arundel County, according to The Capital.
In Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, Tommy Edward Clack, 40, agreed to pay back thousands of dollars to local residents he scammed by overcharging them for pavement jobs, The Capital stated.
In January, Clack was located in Florida when local police arrested him.
Clack was accused of telling homeowners he could pave a driveway for a low price between $400 and $4,000, only to hike up the cost to $30,000 or more, authorities said.
Anne Arundel County police released search warrants for Clack last May after they identified him as a suspect in local pavement scams. One of the scams included an Edgewater couple who claimed Clack over-charged them in April 2011 by more than $60,000—they didn't pay—to pave their driveway. Clack was also wanted in South Carolina, according to authorities.
The Capital reported that Clack duped 11 victims in Anne Arundel County and must repay them with payments ranging from $2,000 to more than $15,000.
Clack pleaded guilty to six different charges but he has to repay everyone that he scammed, all 11 of them, according to Communications Director for the
Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office Kristin Fleckenstein.
Additional victims will be allowed to speak at Clack's sentencing on May 10.
To read the full story, head over to The Capital.

Geography is important to the liability
limits and scheme of compensation
When looking at the issue of an airline's liability for lost,
delayed or damaged luggage it is important to note that the relevant
limits of liability mentioned vary according to whether the journey
was international or domestic.
International Convention (the 1999 Montreal Convention) provides
rules on international journeys
Different rules may apply for Domestic Air Travel (For example
within the United States)
The US and some other countries provide a higher limit of liability
per passenger than those provided by International Convention
such as the Montreal Convention or its predecessor the Warsaw
Convention 1929.
From January 2007 the limit for completely domestic carriage within the United
States is US$3000.
This compares with a liability limit of around US$ 1500 for international journeys
governed by the Montreal Convention. (1000 Special Drawing rights)
Distinguish between what an airline volunteers to pay you and
what may be legally recoverable
Before looking at the particular rules that apply to compensation
limits it is worthwhile stressing one important aspect.
If an
airline loses your bag or if your bag is delayed that airline
may offer you compensation.
The amount of compensation the airline offers may be less than
you could legally be entitled to on a strict legal analysis of
your claim.
The full intricacies of a claim for lost
delayed or damaged luggage can be complex. The airline will
seek to maximise any
perceived doubt or vagueness in your claim or in applicable laws
to limit the airline's exposure.
An airline will seek to argue down a passenger's
claim but would very rarely-if ever-prompt
Or assist a passenger to maximise the passenger's claim.
We are not suggesting that a passenger should make an illegitimate
exaggeration of a claim for compensation-merely that a passenger
can present the best arguments in support of a legitimate claim.
Flightmole.com is a resource to present
your legitimate claim in the best possible way. It is also
a resource to understand
where airline's and their agents seek to reduce a passenger's
legitimate claim through illegitimate methods.
Have you noticed that Airline's typically suggest that
if you lose your baggage that you may be better placed making
a claim against your own insurers? (The inference being that
you might recover more compensation from those insurers).
Similarly that travel and other insurers insist that the insured
passenger should give notice of claim to the airline. (Is the
inference perhaps that you proceed to claim from the airline?).
An insurance policy typically has deductibles
and excesses and insurers apply "adjustments" that
the insurers will discount from the claim.
Can the passenger claim these reductions from the airline? Can
the passenger claim a higher amount from the airline than from
the insurer? Can the passenger claim from both the airline and
the insurance company?
These matters are complex. Perhaps the simple truth is that if
you don't understand the potential complexity that you
will always be passively at the mercy of an airline and the
insurance company.
Airlines and insurance companies may graciously volunteer a
settlement to you. What flightmole.com readers needs to determine
is whether that settlement is a legitimate reflection of the
loss entitlement according to law. Can you legitimately claim
a higher amount and negotiate to achieve that higher amount and
failing that take enforcement action to obtain a higher amount
of settlement?
This may require an understanding of a number of diverse areas
of international law and domestic law and insurance practise.
Flightmole.com can not advise you on these areas but can assist
you to burrow to the right place and to frame the right questions
and marshal arguments to assist in enforcing of your rights in
the area of lost and damaged luggage.

From The Sunday Times:
The Booker prize-winning author Salman Rushdie has accused Amnesty International of "moral bankruptcy" for working with a former terror suspect from Britain.
Rushdie, whose plight was championed by Amnesty when he was placed under a fatwa by the Iranian regime for his novel The Satanic Verses, said the charity had done "incalculable damage" to its reputation by collaborating with Moazzam Begg, a former inmate of Guantanamo Bay, and his organisation Cageprisoners.
His accusation follows the suspension this month of Gita Sahgal, a senior Amnesty official, who raised concerns about the organisation's links to Begg and Islamists. More:
And below, from The Times, London:
The conscience stifled by Amnesty
When Gita Sahgal questioned the human rights group's links to Islamic radicals, it suspended her. Now she fears for her safety
Amnesty International has made its name as a champion of free speech, campaigning on behalf of prisoners who have spoken out against oppressive regimes around the world. But when it comes to speaking up about the organisation itself … well, that seems to be a different story.
Last week Gita Sahgal, a highly respected lifelong human rights activist and head of Amnesty's gender unit, told The Sunday Times of her concerns about Amnesty's relationship with Cageprisoners, an organisation headed by Moazzam Begg, a former Guantanamo internee.
Since his release in 2005, Begg has spoken alongside Amnesty at a number of events and accompanied the organisation to a meeting at Downing Street last month. Sahgal felt the closeness of the relationship between Amnesty and Cageprisoners — which appears to give succour to those who believe in global jihad — was a threat to Amnesty's integrity. "To be appearing on platforms with Britain's most famous supporter of the Taliban, whom we treat as a human rights defender, is a gross error of judgment," she wrote to Amnesty's leaders following the Downing Street visit.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The race and appearance of Jesus have been discussed on a number of grounds since early Christianity, although the New Testament includes no description of the physical appearance of Jesus before his death and its narrative is generally indifferent to racial appearances.[1]
Despite the lack of direct biblical or historical references, from the second century, various theories about the race of Jesus were advanced and debated.[2][3] By the Middle Ages a number of documents, generally of unknown or questionable origin, had been composed and were circulating with details of the appearance of Jesus. Now these documents are mostly considered forgeries.[4][5][6] While many people have a fixed mental image of Jesus, drawn from his artistic depictions, these images often conform to stereotypes which are not grounded in any serious research on the historical Jesus, but are based on second or third hand interpretations of spurious sources.[7]
By the 19th century theories that Jesus was non-semitic, and in particular Aryan, were developed.[8] However, as in other cases of the assignment of race to biblical individuals, these claims have been mostly subjective, based on cultural stereotypes and societal trends rather than on scientific analysis.[9] For two millennia a wide range of artistic depictions of Jesus have appeared, often influenced by cultural settings, political circumstances and theological contexts.[10][11] There is no major disagreement that he was ethnically Jewish, though some question what exactly that looked like at that time.[12]
The New Testament includes no description of the physical appearance of Jesus before his death. Its narrative is generally indifferent to people's racial appearance or features.[1][11][13]
The Synoptic Gospels include the account of the Transfiguration of Jesus, during which he was glorified with "his face shining as the sun." However, the Gospels do not provide details of Jesus' everyday appearance.[14][15]
The Book of Revelation describes the features of a glorified Jesus (e.g. the head and hair as white, and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace, etc.) in a vision (1:13-16), but the vision refers to Jesus in heavenly form, after his death, not necessarily his appearance during his earthly life.[16][17]
Old Testament references about a coming Messiah (whom Christians believe to be Jesus) have been projected forward to form conjectures about the appearance of Jesus on theological, rather than historical, grounds; e.g. Isaiah 53:2 which refers to the scourged Messiah with "no beauty that we should desire him" and Psalm 45:2-3 which describes him as "fairer than the children of men", often interpreted as his physical description.[18][19][20][21] Clarks' commentary accepts Lamentations 4:7 "whiter than milk" as referring to skin color.[22] 1 Samuel 16:12 describes David, the ancestor of Jesus, as having "beautiful eyes" or "fair countenance."[22]
Despite the lack of direct biblical or historical references, from the second century onward various theories about the race of Jesus were advanced, e.g. by Justin Martyr, based on arguments on the genealogy of Jesus.[2] These arguments have been debated for centuries.[2][3] The second century anti-Christian philosopher Celsus wrote that Jesus was "ugly and small".[23]
The Church Fathers Saint Jerome and Saint Augustine of Hippo argued from a theological perspective that Jesus must have been ideally beautiful in face and body. For Augustine he was "beautiful as a child, beautiful on earth, beautiful in heaven".[24] These theological arguments were further extended in the 13th century by Saint Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologiae based on his analysis of the Perfection of Christ, reasoning that Christ must have embodied every possible human perfection.[25][26]
By the Middle Ages a number of documents, generally of unknown or questionable origin, had been composed and were circulating with details of the appearance of Jesus, as described below.
Around the 9th century, Epiphanius Monachus referred to a tall angelic figure, which has at times been interpreted as Christ, but scholars consider it an unlikely reference to Jesus.[27] Other spurious references include the Archko Volume and the letter of Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar, the descriptions in which were most likely composed in the Middle Ages.[4][5][6]
A forged letter by Publius Lentulus, the Governor of Judea, to the Roman Senate dates to around the year 1300 and, according to most scholars, was composed to compensate for the lack of any physical description of Jesus in the Bible.[11] Also in the 14th century Nicephorus Callistus quoted an unnamed antique source that described Jesus as tall and beautiful with fair, wavy hair, but his account was most likely without basis and was inspired by the prevailing artistic images of Jesus.[28]
The Islamic Hadith, collections of 8-9th century AD sayings with no scriptural ascertainment or specific authorship, describe Jesus as "red." (Red as a skin color can mean brown with reddish tones like the date fruit, as the date is called 'The Red one.' Red can also be a euphemism for fair-skinned people in order not to call their color white and allow it to be associated with vitiligo.[29] Jesus is also described as blackish brown in these hadeeh (آدَمُ) [30]
In explaining the development of racial theories in the context of scripture, Colin Kidd, in his book The forging of races, argues that the assignment of race to biblical individuals has been a mostly subjective practice based on cultural stereotypes and societal trends rather than on scientific methods.[9] Kidd reviews a number of theories about the race of Jesus, ranging from a white Aryan Jesus to a black African Jesus, illustrating that there is no general agreement among scholars on the race of Jesus.[31]
In his book Racializing Jesus, Shawn Kelley states that the assignment of a specific race to Jesus has been a cultural phenomenon emanating from the higher levels of intellectual circles within societies, and draws parallels between the seemingly different approaches within different settings.[32] Cain Hope Felder has argued that New Testament passages such as Galatians 3:28 express a universalism that go beyond race.[33]
By the 19th century theories that Jesus was Aryan Race, and in particular Aryan, were developed and later appealed to those who wanted nothing Jewish about Jesus, e.g. Nazi theologians. Madison Grant for example claimed Jesus was of the Indo-European race.[13][34][35] Houston Stewart Chamberlain claimed that Jesus was of Amorite-Germanic extraction.[36] Scholars supporting the radical Aryan view also argued that being a Jew by religion was distinguishable from being a Jew by race.[37] These theories usually also include the reasoning that Jesus was Indo-Aryan because Galilee was an Aryan Mittani region, but have not gained widespread scholarly acceptance.[13][38]
The English writer Godfrey Higgins suggested in his book Anacalypsis (1836) that Jesus was a dark brown skinned Indo-Aryan from North India. In 1906 a German writer Theodor Plange wrote a book titled Christ-an Indian? in which he argued that Jesus was an Indian and that the Christian gospel had originated in India.[39]
By the 20th century, theories had also been proposed that Jesus was black, but not necessarily of descendent of any specific black African ethnicity, e.g. based on the argument that the Hebrew Jacob, also known as Israel, and his children were originally a black people.[31][40] Martin Luther King was a proponent of the "Black Christ" movement and identified the struggle of Jesus against the authorities of the time with the struggle of African Americans in the southern parts of the United States, as he questioned why the white church leaders did not voice concern for racial equality.[40] For some, this blackness was due to Jesus's identification with black people, not the color of his skin,[40] while others such as Albert Cleage argued that Jesus was ethnically black.[41]
A study on the 2001 BBC series Son of God attempted to determine what Jesus's race and appearance may have been.[42] Assuming Jesus to be a Galilean Semite, the study concluded in conjunction with Mark Goodacre that his skin would have been "olive-coloured"[43] and "swarthy"[44]—these results were criticised by some media outlets for being "dismissive" and "dumbed down".[45][46]
In academic studies, beyond generally agreeing that "Jesus was Jewish" modern scholarship has not successfully dealt with the question of the ethnicity of Jesus.[12]
During the Middle Ages, a number of legendary images of Jesus began to appear, at times perhaps constructed to validate the styles of depiction of that period, e.g. the image of Edessa.[1] The Veil of Veronica was accompanied by a narrative about the Passion of Jesus.[1]
A number of descriptions of Jesus have been reported by saints and mystics who claim they have seen Jesus in a vision. Reports of such visions are more common among Roman Catholics than other Christian denominations.[47]
By the 20th century, some reports of miraculous images of Jesus began to receive significant attention, e.g. Secondo Pia's photograph of the Shroud of Turin, one of the most controversial artifacts in history. During its May 2010 exposition the shroud and its photograph of what some authors consider the face of Jesus were visited by over 2 million people.[48][49][50]
Another 20th century depiction of Jesus, namely the Divine Mercy image is based on Faustina Kowalska's reported vision, which she described in her diary as a pattern that was then painted by artists.[51] The depiction is now widely used among Catholics, and has over 100 million followers worldwide.[51][52]
Despite the lack of biblical references or historical records, for two millennia a wide range of depictions of Jesus have appeared, often influenced by cultural settings, political circumstances and theological contexts.[10][11][55] As in other Christian art, the earliest depictions date to the late second or early third century, and are primarily found in Rome.[56] In these early depictions, Jesus is usually shown as a youthful figure without a beard and with curly hair, sometimes with different features from the other men in the scenes, e.g. his disciples or the Romans.[1] However bearded depictions also appear from very early on, perhaps drawing on an existing stereotype from the Greek world of the appearance of the many itinerant charismatic philosophers.
Although some images exist at the synagogue at Dura-Europos, and such images may have been common, Judaism in theory forbade images, and its influence on the depictions of Jesus remains unknown.[10] Christian depictions of the 3rd and 4th centuries typically focused on New Testament scenes of healings and other miracles.[56] Following the conversion of Constantine in the 4th century, Christian art found many wealthy donors and flourished.[56] In this period Jesus began to have more mature features, and was shown with a beard.[1] A new development at this time was the depiction of Jesus without a narrative context, but just as a figure by himself.[1]
By the 5th century depictions of the Passion began to appear, perhaps reflecting a change in the theological focus of the early Church.[56] The 6th century Rabbula Gospels include some of the earliest images of the crucifixion and resurrection.[56] By the 6th century the bearded depiction of Jesus had become standard, both in the East and the West.[1] These depictions with reddish brown hair parted in the middle and with almond shaped eyes showed consistency for several centuries.[1] At this time various legends were developed to attempt to validate the styles of depiction, e.g. the image of Edessa and later the Veil of Veronica.[1]
The Byzantine Iconoclasm acted as a barrier to developments in the East, but by the 9th century art was again permitted.[10] The Transfiguration of Jesus was a major theme in the East and every Eastern Orthodox monk who took up iconography had to start his craft by producing the icon of the Transfiguration.[57] Whereas Western depictions aim for proportion, the abolition of perspective and alterations in the size and proportion of an image in Eastern icons aim to reach beyond man's earthly dwellings.[58]
The 13th century witnessed a turning point in the portrayal of the powerful Kyrios image of Jesus as a wonder worker in the West, as the Franciscans began to emphasize the humility of Jesus both at his birth and his death via the Nativity scene as well as the crucifixion.[59][60][61] The Franciscans approached both ends of this spectrum of emotions and as the joys of the Nativity were added to the agony of crucifixion a whole new range of emotions were ushered in, with wide ranging cultural impact on the image of Jesus for centuries thereafter.[59][61][62][63]
The Renaissance brought forth a number of artistic masters who focused on the depictions of Jesus and after Giotto, Fra Angelico and others systematically developed uncluttered images that focused on the depiction of Jesus with an ideal human beauty.[10] Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper which is considered the first work of High Renaissance art due to its high level of harmony became well known for depicting Jesus surrounded by varying emotions of the individual apostles at the announcement of the betrayal.[64][65]
Objections to depictions of Jesus have appeared, e.g. in 1850 John Everett Millais was attacked for his painting Christ in the House of His Parents because it was "painful" to see "the youthful Saviour" depicted as "a red-headed Jew boy".[66] The first cinematic portrayal of Jesus was in the 1897 film La Passion du Christ produced in Paris, which lasted five minutes.[67][68] Thereafter cinematic portrayals have continued to show Jesus with a beard in the standard western depiction that resembles Renaissance images.[69]
More recent artistic and cinematic portrayals have also made an effort to characterize Jesus as an ancient Middle Eastern resident. In the 2004 movie, The Passion of the Christ, Jesus was portrayed by Jim Caviezel who wore a prosthetic nose during filming and had his blue eyes digitally changed to brown to give him a more Middle Eastern appearance. According to designer Miles Teves, who created the prosthesis: "Mel [Gibson] wanted to make the actor playing Jesus, James Caviezel, look more ethnically Middle Eastern, and it was decided that we could do it best by changing the shape of his nose."[70][71]

In reply to your article "Eat Here Now" in the October 20th issue, the author [Cari Wade Gervin] implied that there are no other valid reasons to support local food beyond taste. I disagree.
If the world were to tick along as it has through the past 65 years, the author would be right—most of us would continue to get more of our food from far way industrial producers. The food would be cheap, there would be fewer farmers, and we'd have to deal with the health problems of ourselves and our children becoming more obese. Some may choose to do something about these health problems (like buying local whole foods), but they would have to pay more—and therefore local foods would never become mainstream. Local food would continue to be a niche market for the yuppies and health nuts.
But the world is not, and will not, "tick along" as it has been. We are facing big changes. These changes are showing up on the price tags at supermarkets. How is your monthly food bill compared to 2007? Quite a bit higher, eh! There are two major reasons explaining the hikes: 1) Global oil production has peaked; and 2) weather catastrophes are increasing around the globe. Experts in both energy and weather indicate that these trends will continue. As energy becomes more expensive and food producing areas of the world experience increased weather disasters, the industrial food production, processing, and distribution systems are not going to run as efficiently as in the past. We should expect even higher foods prices and sporadic non-availability of some foods. This is not academic mumbo-jumbo. It's happening today—one of the nation's largest food distributors is being hit with high food prices from far away source areas and is looking to diversify locally.
Local food systems are in their infancy. Today, there is little food being produced locally—we are at the end of a 90-year run of cheap, plentiful energy and bumper crops. The geography of East Tennessee is not suited for massive-scale agriculture; therefore farming, for the most part, shut down. But with food prices set to rise and possibly become scarce, we'd better start thinking seriously about our options. Relegating the local food movement as a niche market is shortsighted. We must take a broader view and start asking the right questions. What can we do to assure food availability to our city? How can we support a local food system today that's full value may become evident in 10 years? How can we develop a food system that is energy- and resource-efficient and can deal with energy and weather shocks? How far could a mature local food system go in feeding our region? We don't know precisely how the local food movement will play out in the years to come, but surely we can agree that it is important to support for reasons far beyond taste.

moist lemony cake recipe?!!?
Hi everyone. I was volunteered (as usual) to make a birthday cake for a friend's grandma's birthday who is turning 100 years old!!! She wants a moist (key word moist, not dry!) deliciously flavored lemon cake. I have a great lemon curd recipe but I need the cake recipe. I've tried Claudia Fleming's lemon pound cake recipe that I found here on chowhound a while back (even though a pound cake texture is not what I'm looking for) and I felt it was SO DRY. Her lemon syrup, however, was good. So I will put her syrup on the cake, fill it with curd, and cover it with vanilla buttercream.
So if anyone has a moist and delicious LEMON cake recipe, PLEASE share!
Thanks in advance.
with lemon jello
re: todao
X2 on the lemon jello cake! Rather than top it with Cool Whip, I like a nice simple sugar glaze. This version sounds nice:
The BEST lemon cake and curd recipe come from Martha. It's called 1-2-3-4 cake..super super moist cake and the curd is wonderfully tart and sweet at the same time. The trick is to TRIPLE the lemon curd recipe....other than that....follow it to a tee.
re: Katusha
re: junglekitte
Try the Meyer Lemon cake in Chez Panisse Cooking - it's a one layer cake, with lemon zest and juice in the cake, and is drenched with a lemon syrup. The recipe can be found on the link below, but be aware that the photograph is misleading - the glaze does not set white; if you follow the directions the glaze will soak entirely into the cake. The original recipe from Chez Panisse Cooking did not include candied lemon slices, either. But, this is a delicious cake, not too dense or rich. Just right.
this is an alice waters recipe I've made and it is GOOD. I consider myself a bit o' a lemon cake fiend, too. recipe is for two 9" round cakes, so should work well for your layers ...
butter cake pans and line bottoms with parchment. butter and flour paper. separate:
4 EGGS. measure: 1 CUP MILK. sift then measure: 3 CUPS CAKE FLOUR. stir in: 4 TEASPOONS BAKING POWDER, HALF TEASPOON SALT. in another bowl, beat until light and fluffy: 1CUP (2 STICKS) BUTTER, SOFTENED. add: 2 CUPS SUGAR. cream until light and fluffy. beat in the four yolks, one at a time, and: 1 TABLESPOON FINELY GRATED LEMON ZEST, 2 TEASPOONS FRESH LEMON JUICE, 1TEASPOON VANILLA EXTRACT. when well mixed, add the flour mixture and milk alternately, starting and ending with one third the flour. stir just until flour is incorporated. in another bowl whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. stir one third of the egg whites into the batter, then gently fold in the rest. pour into prepared pans and bake until toothpick is clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
A Lemon Lava Cake is very moist and gooey...
Lemon Lava Cake:
1 cup yogurt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated fresh lemon rind
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Lemon Syrup
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 lemon, rind of, cut into strips
8 servings
Pre-heat oven to 180C degrees (375F degrees).
Place butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until light and creamy.
Add eggs and beat well.
In a separate bowl, stir together yoghurt, lemon juice, rind, sifted flour and bicarb.
Add to egg mixture and mix until well combined.
Spoon mixture into a greased 23 cm cake tin and bake for 45 minutes or until cake is cooked when tested with a skewer or fork.
Place sugar, water, lemon juice and rind into a saucepan.
Cook, stirring over a low heat until sugar has dissolved.
Allow syrup to simmer for 4 minutes, then immediately pour syrup over cake while it is hot and still in the tin.
Allow cake to stand for 5 minutes and serve with a dollop of whip cream or ice cream.
Ina has a fantastic lemon pound cake recipe. I know its not what you are going for but it is moist....mostly because she douses it with a lemony syrup after it is cooked. Perhaps it would be similar to the recipe or idea that you were using with the syrup on the cake. It sounds delicious with the curd.
re: icey
re: jennisad
here's a link to her recipe. i also thought it was great.
I will try the Chez Panisse one next time! I ended up going with the Butter Downy Cake from The Cake Bible. It was a hit but I personally didn't like it. I guess I'm hard to please or everyone just said they liked it to be nice. I felt like it was more dry than I prefer, while the last recipe I tested was too dense!
Sorry for the late reply but our family favorite is a recipe from Cooking Light. It is very moist and very lemony

NORMAN — Maybe the biggest reason why Oklahoma's performance at Texas Tech seemed so astonishing was, well, it was so astonishing.
It was more than the fact Landry Jones played so well. And it was more than the fact the Sooner defense played so well. And it was more than the fact Damien Williams ran the ball 14 times, 12 more times than Dom Whaley, the next tailback on the list (who is still ahead of Williams on the Sooner depth chart, but don't read anything into that; probably an oversight), like somebody'd actually made a decision.
Because somebody had to create a game plan that melded so well with the quarterback. And somebody had to make the right defensive calls. And somebody had to choose to go with Williams, not just on the ground but through the air. Ditto for the increased workload for fullback Trey Millard, who carried four times and caught two passes.
Bob Stoops tried hard to be a stick in the mud on the subject of OU's offensive changes Monday, refusing to say if they were designed with the Red Raiders or his Sooners most in mind.
Then, he gave himself away.
Asked if keeping Jones upright against Texas on Saturday was "Job One," he said, "Sure. And running the ball."
And as advanced Stoopsologists know, the throwaway afterthought line — "and running the ball" — is the same thing as a political gaffe: the mistake of unwittingly telling the truth.
Still, greater proof lies with Jones, whose honesty behind the microphone this season continues to be so refreshing.
"I was really excited," the OU quarterback said of the moment he received offensive coordinator Josh Heupel's plan. "I felt like that was a great game plan for us. I liked the way we used Trey (Millard), I liked the way we were switching up formations … Just really excited about it."

20 Responses to "Gluten Free Galore for Thanksgiving and More"
Carol, Simply...Gluten-free on November 22nd, 2010 9:23 am
One of the things that is so great about coming to your site is that I can get caught up on what's happening out there! Been so busy did not know any of that stuff that was going on so thanks for all the info! You really are a great community blogger Have a fabulous Thanksgiving. xo, carol
Shirley on November 22nd, 2010 5:06 pm
Hi Carol–Thanks so much! I should have included our Thanksgiving post, too. Must update when I get home!
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, too, dear! Miss you … when's our next get together?
Can't wait to buy your cookbook.
I fixed your Special Turkey Breast yesterday for an early TG with my daughter and her new husband. Everyone raved about it. How did you keep it so moist…etc. This year there were actually leftovers (I did a larger breast) so I get to have yummy sandwiches at work this week. Thanks again.
Shirley on November 22nd, 2010 5:08 pm
Hi Johanna–Well, aren't you a dear? That would be fun to have a gfe cookbook … I do think it's needed. Thanks so much for saying that and for giving more feedback on the Special Turkey Breast! It's hard to eat the traditional turkey breast after eating that one. And, leftovers are the best! Try them in the enchilada casserole if you eat dairy (can't recall), tortilla soup (gf/df), or pot pie (gf/df) … all so yummy with those leftovers!
I always appreciate it when you do a round up of what's going on because I can't keep up with it all. The problem is that I'm super busy right now and can't check everything out. I think I'll have to visit that list of links from Shauna's challenge some time much later and save the recipes for next year. Have a great Thanksgiving, Shirley! Hugs!
Shirley on November 22nd, 2010 9:57 pm
Hey Linda, I understand completely! Remember that most of the time Thanksgiving meals and Christmas meals can be very similar, so you might find that some of these dishes will be perfect then. You won't have to wait a whole year to try them. And, really some of those recipes would be wonderful any time. By the way, I feel guilty saying it, but I haven't checked them all out either. Each of us only has so much time in the day, right?
Thanks so much for the Thanksgiving wishes, Linda! It's hard to believe it's almost here, but it's that way every year.
You are one of a kind! And you just don't stop (the first ever gluten-free energizer bunny!). Thanks for a great roundup Shirley. And thanks for including a shout-out to 12 Days of Gluten-Free Christmas Cookies! I hope you and Mr. GFE have a fantastic Thanksgiving trip. And I'm excited to see this muffin recipe!
Shirley on November 24th, 2010 9:52 pm
Hi Maggie–You are the sweetest! Well, this girl who doesn't stop is a little behind right now. LOL Trying to catch up on these comments that have gone "unreplied to" during all the latest excitement.
I'm excited about your 12 Days of GF Christmas Cookies, Maggie. Still blown away by that prize! BTW, I'm still in muffin mode, too. But tomorrow morning it's cookies and pies, and maybe popovers. If there are any leftovers, I'm sure SON will happily take them off our hands.
Love your roundups, Shirley! So much fabulous information–and so much good food!! Have a wonderful, happy and healthy Thanksgiving and hope you enjoy your time off. Hugs to you!
Shirley on November 24th, 2010 10:29 pm
Hey Ricki–Okay, I don't think I've replied to this one before (fingers crossed). LOL I'm so happy to share as much as possible of what's going on. Glad you always enjoy my "little bit of this, and little bit of that."
Thanks so much for the Thanksgiving wishes! How is it always a shock when it arrives each year? I like when you guys celebrate Thanksgiving … seems to be more on its own without the mad rush to the holidays immediately after!
I love coming to your site and catching up on all things gluten-free! I know it must take a long time to gather and post this information, so thank you! What a great Thanksgiving line up!
Shirley on November 24th, 2010 10:31 pm
Hi Jessica–Awww, thanks so much! I always seem to be collecting the info, so sometimes it doesn't take too long. Just depends if I have those links ready and/or don't have some type of technical difficulties. It's always fun though!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, dear!
Love, love, love, the round-up and the turkey
He (or she?) is adorable!
Thanks so much for the sweet mention Shirley, you are so awesome!
Shirley on November 24th, 2010 10:38 pm
Hi Alisa–Your comment made my day for the turkey part alone! Mr. GFE totally scoffed at me including the turkey photo. He was relentless, in fact. LOL I took the photo at mom and dad's, as well as the pumpkin photo. Mom has lots of great "props." I was really looking for a turkey that I made at age 12 that mom brings out every year, but she hadn't gotten it out yet. This one had to do and I do think it's festive. It's a he … the gobbler is the fancier of the two turkey sexes.
I was honored that you included several of my recipes in your Thanksgiving roundup, Alisa–thanks again!
Thank you for the kind words Shirley. I am honored by them.
This was quite a information-filled post. Lots of other GF news and happenings to catch up on. You are like Headquarters Central for the GF community.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday!
Shirley on November 26th, 2010 9:11 am
Hi Rachel–You're welcome … all true! "Headquarters Central"? Sounds good—and thank you!–but sometimes I miss stuff. We have so much good going on in our gf world these days, it's hard to keep up. But, that's fine with me.
My Thanksgiving was good; hope yours was, too!
Wow, what an awesome roundup! And to think, this was from a year ago, but is still such a great resource for readers. I can't wait to see what you do this year!
Shirley on November 22nd, 2011 1:32 pm
Thank you so much, Sea! Holiday roundup events are always timely. I've been enjoying your vegetarian Thanksgiving event the last week. I know that will also become a resource that folks can call on time and time again!
Happy Thanksgiving, dear!

Investing isn't just for the wealthy. If you have a few thousand or even less than a hundred dollars saved, here are some suggestions on how to make the most of it.
Note: This article assumes that you're looking for something more lucrative than high-yield savings accounts and CDs.
- Set aside a small allowance for investing. Do this first and foremost, even if you can only set aside a few dollars out of every paycheck at first. Even $5 per week will add up to an additional $260 per year.
Next, decide whether to Invest More or Pay off any high interest debt and build up an emergency fund first.
- Promise yourself that you'll keep your costs of investing (fees, commissions) to less than 2% of the transaction value, no matter how much you're investing. Multiply the amount you have to invest by .02. If the trading cost is more than that, put your money in a savings account instead until you can find an investing opportunity with a better ratio.
- Choose one of the investing options below.
If you have $20
- Invest directly with Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRPs) and Direct Stock Purchase Plans (DSPs). With these, you don't have to deal with brokers (or pay their commissions) because you buy stock straight from the company.
- Not all companies do this, but you still have over 1,000 to choose from.[2] You'll have to search for the companies that offer a direct purchase program, but you can find a partial list here.
- In most cases, you can make an individual purchase or set up an automatic payment plan.
- There may be a nominal commission or a minimum purchase requirement.
- The main difference between DRIPs and DSPs is that to participate in DRIPs, you must already own at least one share of the company's stock. You then collect your dividends in the form of additional shares instead of cash.
- If the company you want to invest in doesn't have a Drip plan, look for a broker that lets you set up Drip-like accounts with which you can buy shares of stocks with low transaction costs. Just check the following:
- Does it have a monthly minimum?
- Does it have a higher charge to sell a stock? That might be an issue if you're an active trader.
Look for mutual funds with a small buy-in. There are a few mutual fund companies that will allow small investors to buy in, but you'll have to agree to an automatic investment plan, whereby you let them deduct a fixed amount from your bank account every month (usually at least $25). This is usually in addition to a minimum initial investment (starting at $25).
If you have up to $500
Invest in an index fund which tracks the broad market. Through boom years and recessions, since its inception the S&P 500 index funds returned about 10% a year.[2]Once you make your first payment, you can add as much money as you want and as often as is convenient for you without any additional costs or commissions. Since you deal directly with mutual fund companies, you don't have to pay a broker a commission.
- The minimum varies, but with an IRA (USA only) you can invest as little as $250. (SeeHow to Open a Roth IRA Account.)
- If you have $500, you can be a little pickier. Look for an index fund with a low expense ratio.
- Consider opening a discount brokerage account. A discount broker doesn't offer all of the services of a full-service broker, but they still allow you to purchase individual companies. Some accounts require a minimum initial deposit.
- Until you can invest a few thousand dollars at a time, which means you should have many thousands of dollars to spread out your risks, don't try to profit off of short-term price swings. The high relative costs of commissions will make this unlikely to work well over time. Instead, plan to hold your investments for a long time, generally years, and as such choose them for fundamental value. This will expose you to more company-specific risk, so don't use it as your primary form of savings — focus on index and other mutual funds (plus bank deposits).
If you have $1000
- Follow the steps in the previous section, unless you're confident you can save $1000+ annually, in which case you should consider a retirement account.
- Keep track of your investments for tax purposes.
- Keep in mind that this is money for investing, and nothing else, so you need to realize that it won't be readily accessible (that's what your emergency fund is for) and that there's a chance you will lose it (so if losing that money will somehow ruin your life, don't invest it).

What a global food crisis looks like: Oxfam's food prices map
Food prices have hovered near an all-time peak since late 2010 sending tens of millions of people into poverty. Oxfam's interactive map shows how poor communities across the world are being hurt by high and volatile food prices. This 'food price pressure points map' provides a global snapshot of the impacts of the global food price crisis.
Use this code to embed the map on your website:
What causes food price spikes?
Failed crops – often caused by our changing climate – hit food prices hard. So does the rising cost of oil – used to grow, fertilize and transport food.
Short-sighted biofuels strategies play a part too – taking food off of people's plates and putting it into car tanks. And dysfunctional commodities markets mean that food prices go up faster and higher than they should.
But despite all these complex causes, the effects on poor people are painfully simple. Parents choose between feeding their children and feeding themselves.
Whole communities face an uncertain future, because all anyone can think about is where their next meal will come from.
It's time to grow out of food price spikes.
The way to GROW
Food price spikes happen because of things like climate change and rising oil prices – so a major part of the solution involves getting those root causes under control.
But what's also needed is more effective global handling of food price crises when they do happen. That way, the poorest families have somewhere to turn even when things do get desperate – and when they suddenly can't afford even the meager amount they could afford a week earlier.
For our world to GROW together, we need to get food price spikes under control.c

At OLPC News there are a few good articles overviewing the XO Tablet and what it means for learners and well as One Laptop per Child's overall program. The most recent one gives a more negative view than some which is good for balance but seems to be coming from someone still thinking that PC and PostPC devices can't both have a place.
Go here to read it.
Here FYI was my response
Nice to see a balanced overview here thanks Edward. For my part tho – and I've worked with XOs for over three years, and tablets as well – the one thing (something Wayan alluded to in his articles) that has me interested in the XO Tablet is the bundled software – I don't think anyone could seriously think that part time volunteer coders writing in Python for Sugar can now ever compete with the quality of apps available for Android and especially iOS – there is no comparison in capability. So whatever hardware design one prefers (and lets face it, cheap but decent bluetooth keyboards can be used with the XO tablet very easily – some even combine with a case) IF the software is lacking then you can do very little with them, or at least very little in comparison to what's in the Play Store and App Store. Am I right? And isn't a sugar port headed to the XO tablet anyways?

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal video highlights. Arsenal hold some hope for an upset against Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16 on Tuesday night, but sadly it didn't came their way. Bayern which conceded only one goal away from home in the Bundesliga this season, scored two early goals of Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller to beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium and take control of their Champions League last-16 tie after the first leg.
Bayern stuns the Emirates at 7-minute with an early goal as Mueller picks out Kroos on the edge of the box with a ball back from the right byline, as the midfielder fires a great finish beyond Szczesny into the corner of the net!
Few minutes later, Bayern jumps on 2-0 lead as Szczesny parries a close-range flick-on from Van Buyten in the corner, the ball however finds Mueller who turn the ball aat the back of the net from close range.
It's a very sloppy start from Arsenal as they gone physical having slapped with five yellow cards rewarding Bayern with multiple free kicks. Arsene Wenger men are putting everything on this game with Lukas Podolski is rewarded with a header to put the Gunnners right back with ten minutes after the halftime making it 2-1.
Bayern which lost Champions League final against Chelsea last year has transformed the players to give everything to alleviate that pain. This German team is more compact than ever before, has matured and is definitely hungry for a title. Bayern restore their two-goal lead as Mario Mandzukic pounces to flick the ball in from Lahm's low cross from the right. It's a scrappy finish with the ball looping in, but Bayern now lead 3-1 with 77-minute and never look back.
Check the Bayern Munich vs Arsenal video highlights above.

The company's technology is now a feature of Android and iOS and the subject of a suit against Google. But Ted Morgan sees opportunity in new markets and Skyhook's patent portfolio.
Google has been accused of forcing Motorola to drop Skyhook's mapping technology for its own, as well as violating patents held by Skyhook.
CEO of the geolocation company says Wi-Fi is what you need to get your bearings fast, but GPS has a few uses too.
Skyhook's hybrid Wi-Fi/GPS location technology will soon be used in Texas Instruments chips for mobile devices to get more accurate location information.
Skyhook Wireless adds GPS to its geolocation technology so useres can get accurate location information whereever they are.
Apple: submit WiFi location information to Skyhook
Skyhook says: Who needs GPS?
Samsung Galaxy Tab pricing shows up on Amazon UK, and it's well over a thousand dollars U.S., presumably to force you toward subsidized prices so you'll end up paying the same amount or more for with-contract tablets. Which ... seriously? No. Also, Craigslist says the adult services section is gone for good, and Google's music service appears to be imminent--much to Spotify's demise--er, dismay.
Also: AOL is the most favored ISP; Visible Measures has raised $10 million in funding; and Home Account has raised $1 million in seed funding.

NYC is jam-packed with progressive, inquisitive and brilliant minds. Its inhabitants are constantly exposed to diverse cultures and various lifestyles. The city is like a sponge or a fertile ground and a forum for an exchange of ideas. We are not afraid to challenge and question the norms in order to improve, develop and grow as athletes, team members and human beings.
Sure it is a crowded place but the closeness we have to each other provides an extra edge in working through our pitfalls and facing the kind of tribulations a big city like New York can deliver. We at Team OrganicAthlete achieve a certain similar synergy and harmony through our never-ending communication, sharing and understanding. But if you're single and living in this fast and complex city it may be hard to find someone you really connect with!

PowerPoint Pearls: Creating a Custom Slide Show
Let's say that you typically present on the same topic but tweak each show for the specific audience. Instead of having multiple copies of a very similar presentation, you can create custom slide shows. You'll have only one file to maintain and one file to retain.
Here's how to create a custom slide show
Launching your custom show is slightly different, so be sure to practice accessing it.
Access a custom slide show
Caveat. To reconstruct a file of custom shows using multiple existing shows may be too time consuming. I suggest using Custom Shows for creating any new presentations.
