Danneel Harris
Top 99 WomenWhy is She famous
A former model-turned-actress, Danneel Harris played fiery cheerleader Rachel Gatina on One Tree Hill. Prior to landing on the hit teen drama, this lovely Louisiana native enjoyed recurring roles on the Amanda Bynes sitcom What I Like About You and the long-running soap opera One Life to Live.
Danneel Harris Quote
" Going around half-naked stops being cute when you're 35."
81 Sex Appeal
You know you have something special when Maxim magazine handpicks you to appear on their cover. Danneel Harris enjoyed that exceptional honor in November 2007 before making a second appearance in the popular men's publication a year later when she was ranked No. 62 in the Maxim Hot 100 list. Danneel Harris' ranking should only continue to improve in the years to come thanks to her perfectly chiseled 5'7" frame, delicate curves and smoldering bedroom eyes.
79 Success
Women like Danneel Harris are the reason we own a TV. Four years into her career, this ravishing redhead had already appeared on a number of hit shows including What I Like About You, One Life to Live, Joey, Charmed, One Tree Hill, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Look for her to expand her repertoire even more in the years ahead with roles in the big screen laughers Still Waiting…, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay and Extreme Movie.
Danneel Harris Biography
danneel harris embarks on a modeling career
It proved to be a savvy decision, and Danneel Harris soon lucked out when her then-boyfriend Riley Smith helped her get her foot in the industry. "His mom is a modeling agent in Chicago," she explains. "So I flew home with him for Thanksgiving. She called this agency for me and that's how I met the modeling agency." Danneel Harris soon landed a number of gigs modeling for prominent brands like Big Sexy Hair and Juicy Jeans. Her beauty and poise in front of a camera also piqued the interest of television casting directors, and she quickly nailed her first of many commercial auditions.danneel harris on what I like about you
Danneel Harris promptly found work with a pair of guest-starring roles on Mad TV before scoring a recurring role on the Amanda Bynes sitcom What I Like About You in 2004. The popular teen program gave her a much-needed crash course in television acting, and Danneel Harris benefited later that year when she won the role of Shannon McBain on One Life to Live.Although she was grateful for the part, Danneel Harris admits that she had some initial apprehensions about working on a soap opera. "At first I was really freaked out because I had only worked on sitcoms and we would rehearse Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then tape on Friday," she says. "My first day on the job they give me my lines. I go up there and I'm thinking we'll have rehearsal and then we'll have dress rehearsal then we'll shoot it. And we go up there, I say my lines and they say, 'Thank you.' I learned that if you say your lines correctly they're using it. It was so completely different that it blew me away for a second." Luckily she got used to it quickly and Danneel Harris stayed with the popular program for 68 episodes before graduating to guest-starring roles on hits shows such as Joey, JAG and Charmed.
danneel harris is cast in one tree hill
Danneel Harris received another big break in 2005 when she was cast as fiery cheerleader Rachel Gatina on the hit CW drama series One Tree Hill. The role transformed her into a household name with teens throughout the country, and following that, she made her big screen debut in Ten Inch Hero, a quirky romantic comedy about four friends working in a sandwich shop in Santa Cruz.danneel harris in still waiting…
In 2008, Danneel Harris was still busy at work. She appeared in the stoner flick Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay and the raunchy comedies Still Waiting… and Extreme Movie.What else do you need to know?

Sure you should have a custom 404 error page but that dosent solve the problem. Find where those misspelled URLs originate and drop the webaster a note thanking him for the link and ask that he fixes it. Also consider 301 redirects for pages that have moved and set up the robots.txt to remove pages that no longer exist from search engine indices.
Absolutely, you're right. Tackle the root problem and watch 98% of this dissappear. However, sometimes a webmaster links to you with an erroneous URL, and sometimes the unpredicatable can happen.
This is certainly only a measure to address situations outside of your control. In an ideal world, 301s are used across the board and every webmaster receives a note like the one you've referred to and feverishly works to replace the wrongful URL.
But it's not an ideal world, and sometimes you need to have a back-up plan as a stop gap.
Can't remember who said this at SMX Advanced (I want to say Todd Friesen), but in some situations it's best to have your 404 page automatically hit the category page above it. Say you have a catalog type site/offering. Instead of going to a general 404 page with your sitemap, place them instead at the category level link.
Someone types in http://www.example.com/books/fiction/tokillamockingbyrd.html
Instead of taking them to the general 404, take them to http://www.example.com/books/fiction
Just an idea for some sites that have that kind of structure. Multiple products and stuff like that warrant a better way to do 404s.
Like I said, not my idea and not applicable to my own website, but to some people's this is perfect.
That's a great idea, and we actually implemented something along those lines on a client site that was recently re-built. Several of the old pages were to no-longer exist on the new site, and there were way too many to 301 all of them, so we had our 404 page redirect pages from within sections of the old site to the most appropriate category page on the new site.
Maybe not the best for SEO with not 301'ing the pages, but definately good for the users, as they were presented with the most appropriate content rather than an error (albeit a custom error).
I think that's a strong idea. And whoever said it at SMX Advanced clearly has much more credibility than me.
That said, in terms of User Experience, I think I would feel like the site was just performing incorrectly if it kept landing me at the Category level page of the Individual Item I'm looking for. I would think that the link didn't work, or for some reason it was getting refreshed.
I think the beauty of the 404 is humanizing your site (and your 404 message) by saying "Yeah, we screwed up. The world is not perfect. Here are our best guesses as to where you might be able to find what you didn't find here."
Then again, I'm not getting invites to speak at SMX Advanced : )
Not mine still ... almost positive it was Todd's ... checking ...Yep. Todd Friesen
From Lisa Barone's Give It Up Wrap Up:
"Custom 404 pages: Why use a custom 404 page? You've had a product go out of stock, an article that went down, etc. You probably had links to that page, right? Why put up a 404? Instead, 301 that page up a level. If it was a product, go to the category level. You don't want custom 404s. You don't want the engines to take your pages off the Internet."
In situations where you know the parameters and have knowledge of the issue, yes, you're right, do what you've suggested.
But it is nice to have a back-up plan for the interim period between A. when you notice the problem and B. when you have time to implement the fix.
In the situations you've mentioned, obviously you'll proceed with the 301 redirects - but that's not what this is about. This is about closing up loose ends that you don't plan or notice right away.
You know how with baseball cards back in the day or with packs of gum when you run out of all the gum or baseball cards you're selling, and the back of the box says "We Need to Order More, Call this Number or Contact the Cashier?" That's what this solution is. In the ideal world, you have another box of gum or a simliar box of gum or brand of baseball cards to sell. But sometimes you just don't have a neat solution. Sometimes, the unpredictable happens. Sometimes, you're just straight up out of gum.
This makes sure you at least have a sign up in those rare situations. This is about making sure (in those rare situations) that your reader does not give up faith.

Corbett budget cuts schools, DCED
Post-Gazette Harrisburg Bureau
HARRISBURG – Making good on his promise not to raise taxes, Gov. Tom Corbett has released a $27.3 billion budget, slashing $866 million out of current spending through cuts in virtually every spending area.
Public schools, state-related universities and the Department of Community and Economic Development took the biggest hits.
The spending plan cuts basic education funding from $9.9 billion to $9.1 billion. It calls for more school choice options, while asking districts to freeze teacher salaries and to eliminate salary bumps for those who earn master's degrees.
The DCED budget, meanwhile, was slashed from $337.9 million to $223.6 million. Lawmakers are expected to put up a fight to have funding restored to that department, which has been a pass-through for what has become known as "walking-around-money" – grants for legislators' pet projects.
Support for the four state-related universities, which include the University of Pittsburgh, was halved in the budget proposal. It calls for Pitt to get $80.2 million. This year's budget provides Pitt with $160.5 million in state money plus $7.5 million in federal stimulus funds.
Penn State would see a similar cut, from the current year's $333.9 million down to $165.1 million.
The Corbett budget also cuts funding in half for the State System of Higher Education, which includes 14 colleges. Funding is budgeted at $232.6 million, down from $465.2 million.
Mr. Corbett, meanwhile, wants to cut environmental protection funding from $147 million to $140 million, even as more and more energy companies are introducing chemicals into the ground as they drill for natural gas.
His budget is counting on $65 million out of the oil and gas leases fund. It is unclear how much of that would come from royalties – fees for gas produced from wells already operating on state land.
The budget provides for no additional leases on state forest land, alleviating concerns of environmental groups.
Meanwhile, the budget proposes to increase welfare funding by $607.7 million and health funding by $61.5 million. Military and Veterans Affairs, meanwhile, gets a $19.6 million boost, while state police get a $10 million increase and the Department of Revenue gets $8 million more.
The Corbett budget maintains a $60 million in film production tax credits, the same level as in the current budget. Film industry officials had said that as many as four productions would have considered leaving the state if the tax credit program had ended.
Most line items, though, were decreased in an effort to hold the line on taxes.
"Central to maintaining fiscal discipline is recognizing that our citizens know best how to spend their own money and refraining from imposing any additional tax burdens," according to a budget summary handed out to reporters this morning.
In a letter accompanying the summary Mr. Corbett said he aimed to protect public safety, maintain human services and reduce the side of government.
The budget, he wrote, "was crafted with honesty and restraint. Many historic programs that were not critical, [not] essential or did not have a statewide impact have been proposed for elimination. What remains is a more limited but vigorous government."

Do "Open Source" databases and software foster collaboration? If so, how?
Yes, and for a very simple reason: "Open Source" databases are free and in 2010 extremely functional. Some products such as PostgreSQL have GIS-aware add-ons available such as PostGIS that can be used to spatially query the data. Alternatively, data can be prepared using commercial GIS systems and then shared to open source databases allowing a lot more stakeholders in an organization to simultaneously query, view, and comment on the data. Organizations tend to avoid large license agreements for software licenses that may only be used for a particular project.

The Oakland Press (theoaklandpress.com), Serving Oakland County
Sports > Grizzlies
Tuesday, February 19, 2013 5:29 PM EST
By PAUL KAMPE
email@example.com; Twitter: @PaulKampe
After starting the conference season 1-3, Oakland has now won seven straight games, standing at 10-4 in the conference season's penultimate game Wednesday at Fort Wayne.
The Mastodons (5-9) have won two straight and nearly beat league leaders South Dakota State, North Dakota State and Western Illinois at home, losing those games by an average of less than five points.
"They're playing great right now," Kampe said. "They've gotten better as the season has worn on. They're a team that's peaking at the right time. I wish we had played them earlier.
"They have a great player in Frank Gaines and when you have a great player, you can play with anybody."
Gaines is third in the Summit League in scoring at 19.3 points per game. Oakland's Travis Bader is second in the league in scoring at 22.1 points per game and leads the nation with 123 3-pointers.
The teams are meeting for the first time this season in a game that was originally scheduled to take place in the first weekend of conference play but was moved at the teams' request, Kampe said.
Oakland has beaten its nearest Summit League opponent Fort Wayne in 10 straight meetings and leads the all-time series, 16-3.
Sandwiched between Wednesday and Oakland's final game of the season, hosting Fort Wayne, is Saturday's Bracketbusters matchup against Morehead State, a team Oakland has never faced.
"They're really athletic and they press the entire floor," Kampe said. "If we turn the ball over like we have at times this season, we're going to be in trouble."
The Grizzlies showed extreme care with the ball in recent weeks in its wins over the aforementioned league leaders at the O'rena, but had 12 turnovers in a Saturday victory over at Kansas City.
Oakland won its 14th consecutive game over the Kangaroos in the schools' final meeting in conference play, as Kansas City is leaving the Summit League to join the Western Athletic Conference at season's end.
The Grizzlies held a 21-point first half lead, but the Kangaroos made the game close late before Oakland pulled ahead for the 12-point victory. Oakland never trailed in the game, its second road victory of the week after the Grizzlies escaped with a 76-75 win at South Dakota, a team which embarrassed them last month on their home floor. With the victory, Oakland moved to 5-0 this season is games decided by three points or fewer.
If the seeding aligns them, Oakland could play the Mastodons three out of four games with a first-round matchup in the Summit League tournament.
"I hope we don't get them," Kampe said. "The best to do that is to win both (regular-season meetings) and then I don't think we will get them."
Saturday's game tips off at 5 p.m. after a 2 p.m. women's game. Wednesday's game begins at 7 p.m. and can be heard on WDFN-AM (1130).

text: Spring Real Estate GROWS QUICKLY WITH INDEPENDENT ADVICE FOR OCCUPIERS Every year PropertyNL, the largest research center for real estate in the Netherlands, puts together a top-101 of real estate consultants. The study shows that there is a need for specific expertise and committed advice. Spring Real Estate provides independent advice to occupiers and offers specialties, including taylor made workplace concepts (The New World of Work). This year we entered the Top 101 at place number 36. Since our foundation in 2011, more than 100 companies gave us the confidence in renegotiation or relocation processes. Read the article below from PropertyNL: "Spring Real Estate" rumbles "the top 101 at number 36. The company was founded by Paul Teeuwen, Alexander Zweering, David Oyens and Bart Hoebée, all previously gained experience at DTZ Zadelhoff. It is one of the consultants that focus on an emerging specialty: advice on occupiers of the property. Spring Real Estate did an excellent job and was involved at nearly 26,000 m² of office transactions and over 18,000 m² commercial transactions. On their website the gentlemen write that they want to advise all players in the property but their clients mainly occupiers. "We don't work like traditional brokers / advisors on the basis of an extensive leasing portfolio and we don't value or manage properties for investors. The era in which brokers could claim interests on every side is definitely over to our opinion. Thus we are capable to advise our clients from an independent and therefore competent position. " In 2012 Spring Real Estate was involved at a large number of relocations and lease renewals, including several major transactions. "

Opinion 279 (2010)1
Budgets and priorities of the Council of Europe for the 2011 financial year
1. The Parliamentary Assembly is following with close attention the reforms initiated by the Secretary General of the Council of Europe. It supports the process launched to revitalise the Council of Europe in order to give the Organisation greater political effectiveness and influence in Europe, so as to deal with the realities and challenges of the 21st century.
2. The Council of Europe, by virtue of its history, the standards it has set and its experience, is the guarantor of its member states' fundamental values and has the requisite instruments at its disposal to face the current challenges and respond to the concerns of European citizens at national, regional and local levels.
3. In this period of economic and financial instability, while European states and citizens are endeavouring to put back on the agenda the major principles of good governance and ethics in their relations, a reaffirmation is needed of the Council of Europe's position as a pillar of a democratic European architecture founded on human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
4. The Assembly, recalling its Resolution 1689 (2009) on the future of the Council of Europe in the light of its sixty years of experience, hopes for a political strategy that will give the Organisation a new ambition and calls on the Secretary General to strive to ensure that the Council of Europe plays the central role in a European hub of excellence for democracy and human rights in Strasbourg.
5. The Assembly is convinced that the success of the reforms proposed by the Secretary General can but be based on true, substantial and permanent dialogue, not only between the two statutory organs but also with other entities of the Organisation. The Assembly shares the Secretary General's view that "this is not about our respective influence or status, it is for the sake of the mission we were given sixty years ago to defend and extend human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Europe". In this context, the Assembly fully supports the governance structure set up within the Council of Europe by the Secretary General.
6. The Assembly considers that "soft security" should be a key part of the Council of Europe's political strategy, for this is a matter of individual security and human rights protection, the Organisation's raison d'être. In this area, it is "grey matter" which determines progress. The Council of Europe's staff is in fact the keystone of the Organisation. The staff must therefore be fully informed and involved as a motivated partner with an interest in the success of the reforms.
7. During a period of financial difficulty for all member states, the Assembly calls on members of staff to show solidarity and understanding about certain reforms which could affect them directly. The Assembly nonetheless underlines that these reforms must comply with current Council of Europe regulations and procedures. It will ensure that any measures which may be taken are fair and that the staff is not treated less well than those of other European institutions.
8. With regard to the work programme, the Assembly supports the new budget-programme structure based on the three thematic pillars – human rights, the rule of law and democracy – along with an extra pillar covering the governing bodies, general services and sundry expenditure. However, it considers that including the Parliamentary Assembly under the democracy pillar, under the heading of parliamentary democracy is inappropriate considering its position as a statutory organ of the Council of Europe.
9. The Assembly's role and functions are indeed cross-sectoral, and not limited to democracy. It has responsibilities in the sphere of human rights (such as the election of judges, under Article 22 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ETS No. 5), and of the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, under Articles 9 to 11 of Resolution (99) 50 of the Committee of Ministers) and the rule of law (including enlargement, under Statutory Resolution (51) 30 A of the Committee of Ministers, and member states' compliance with their obligations and commitments, under Order No. 488 (1993) (the "Halonen" Order) and subsequent instruments). The Assembly should therefore be included under the fourth pillar, whose title would then become "Statutory bodies, general services and other".
10. With regard to priority areas for 2011, the Assembly can endorse the choices made by the Secretary General, particularly with regard to areas requiring special focus in 2011 and to reducing the number of projects and refocusing the activities programme of the Organisation under the three thematic pillars, bearing in mind the Action Plan of the Warsaw Summit.
11. The Assembly welcomes, in particular, the Secretary General's decision to reinforce the capacity of the Commissioner for Human Rights, whose commitment to defending values of the Council of Europe is exemplary, and to stop transferring funds from the programmes budget to the European Court of Human Rights (the Court) and, at the same time, to exempt it from any budget cuts in order to enable it to meet certain increases.
12. However, this short-term measure does not solve the fundamental problem of adequate and enduring financing of the Court. The Assembly calls on the Committee of Ministers to study possible ways of introducing a budget separate from the ordinary budget for the Court, while keeping the Court within the Council of Europe structure. In addition, the Assembly reaffirms its full support for the Interlaken process, as expressed in its Resolution 1726 (2010) on the effective implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights: the Interlaken process.
13. The Assembly fully supports the Secretary General's intention to strengthen the existing monitoring mechanisms, in order to ensure "monitoring of the monitoring", that is, to assist the countries concerned and give them practical means of overcoming their difficulties. In this respect, the Assembly points out that it was the instigator of these mechanisms for monitoring the commitments made by states on accession, particularly through the Halonen Order and subsequent orders.
14. The Assembly, moreover, took the first steps in the field of monitoring, as early as 1989, when it became the first European institution to observe elections in Council of Europe non-member and member states (more than 130 parliamentary and presidential elections have been observed over a twenty-year period, with over 1 500 parliamentarians from member states being deployed) and, in this way, it has made a great contribution to the "European electoral heritage" on which a large number of activities of the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) are based.
15. Communication must constitute a vital part of the reform so as to enhance the impact and visibility of the Council of Europe's activities. In this respect, it should be noted that plenary part-sessions of the Parliamentary Assembly always offer the opportunity to place the Council of Europe in the European media spotlight. Greater advantage could be taken of this situation in preparing the Organisation's new communication policy.
16. Where the Council of Europe's external presence is concerned, while it understands the need to rationalise this presence, particularly in the countries with which the Council of Europe is engaged in major co-operation programmes, the Assembly has reservations about the liaison offices in capital cities – apart from the existing liaison office in Brussels – where numerous international organisations are based, such as Geneva, Vienna and Warsaw.
17. The Assembly considers that creating structures such as the one in Brussels in other capital cities would give rise to significant logistical costs, which would be difficult to accept at a time of budget recession. However, were this project to be maintained, the Assembly would like this presence to be negotiated in the form of a reciprocal agreement, with an office being made available within the partner organisation, on the model of the current situation in Strasbourg with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
18. The Assembly fully understands that reorganisation of the Council of Europe's external presence will lead to the closure of the information offices. It calls on the Secretary General to find a negotiated solution with the member states concerned, which would, as far as possible, allow the retention of the staff of these offices, who have given many years of dedicated service to the Council of Europe and done much to boost the Organisation's reputation. Furthermore, the Assembly would like the info point set up in Minsk (Belarus) to be preserved.
19. Where the activities which have been terminated or suspended are concerned, the Assembly would like the follow-up activities connected with implementation of the European convention on counterfeiting of medical products and similar crimes involving threats to public health (Medicrime convention) to be continued. Furthermore, the subject of migration should be given more than marginal consideration – through the activities of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) and/or the Commissioner for Human Rights – in line with its Recommendation 1917 (2010) on migrants and refugees: a continuing challenge for the Council of Europe.
20. Regarding the transfer of certain non-priority activities to partial agreements, the Assembly concurs with the Secretary General's approach that makes it possible to continue certain activities on a smaller scale, thereby allowing states which so wish to pursue their co-operation in these fields. It therefore invites the Committee of Ministers to amend Resolution (96) 36 so as to reduce the minimum number of member states required to establish such agreements.
21. The Assembly, while taking note of the new budget presentation, regrets that the Secretary General's proposals do not include, with effect from 2011, the idea that it has been advocating since 2003 of adopting for the Organisation a biennial budget or a pluriannual budgetary framework.
22. With regard to the unexpended balance from 2009, the Assembly supports the Secretary General's proposal to use the credit balance to finance a contingency reserve. This measure is in line with the desire expressed by the Assembly in its opinion on the 2009 budget, where it recommended that the Committee of Ministers amend Article 70 of the Financial Regulations so that any outstanding balance would be left at the Organisation's disposal, to be placed in a reserve account and utilised as may be decided by the Committee of Ministers.
23. The Assembly would finally like to draw the attention of the Committee of Ministers to the fact that the increase in the proportion of the Council of Europe budget represented by staff costs stems from strategic decisions intended to strengthen the highly effective sectors of the Council of Europe, particularly in the human rights field. However, the various organs in this sector, such as the European Court of Human Rights, the Commissioner for Human Rights, the Department for the Execution of Judgments of the Court, and even some convention monitoring mechanisms, primarily incur pay-related expenditure. It is for this reason that the Assembly invites the Committee of Ministers not to make a dogma of maintaining a set ratio between operational costs and staff costs.
24. In conclusion, in its Recommendation 1886 (2009) on the future of the Council of Europe in the light of its sixty years of experience, the Assembly suggested that the Council of Europe become the "Davos of democracy". It is clearly towards this objective that the Organisation must move, for as Luxembourg's Prime Minister, Jean-Claude Juncker, said in his report entitled "Council of Europe – European Union: a sole ambition for the European continent", the Council of Europe is a "full scale factory for democracy".

Fruity Breakfast Bars
Breakfast tends to be the hardest meal to consistently eat. This is especially true when you have to be at work at 7 am everyday. This bar isn't the healthiest (high in sugars) but it's got a lot of fiber and it's homemade so there isn't as much processing involved. It's tried and true, unlike a sweet donut-like breakfast, it leaves you full and satisfied until your next meal. I based this recipe off of one I found on Smitten Kitchen.
- 1 1/2 c flour
- 1 c packed brown sugar
- 3/4 c oats (quick or rolled work)
- 3/4 c toasted slivered almonds, some more for garnish
- 3/4 t salt
- 3/4 t baking powder
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1/2 t cinnamon
- 1/4 t nutmeg
- 3/4 c margarine (cold!)
- 1 t o1 1/2 c fruit jam (I use homemade Amish jam because I don't think there's anything better but Wegmans triple fruit jam is pretty amazing too)
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. This helps when taking out the bars.
Put the flour, brown sugar, oats, almonds, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a food processor. Pulse until all of the ingredients are well combined and the oats and almonds are broken down. Add the butter in smaller 1-inch pieces. Pulse until loose crumb forms.
Measure about 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups of the crumb mixture and set it aside for on top of the fruit filling. Using the remaining crumb, pour it into the prepared pan and press down to compact it together. Make sure that it is even distributed across the pan. Bake for 12 minutes.
Allow the crust to cool almost to room temperature. To speed up the process, let it cool at room temperature for 10 minutes and then transfer to the fridge for 20 more minutes.
Once the crust is cooled spread the fruit jam to all of the edges. Crumble the remaining crumb mixture on top and sprinkle some of the reserved whole almond slivers over the bars. Bake for another 30 minutes. The crumb on the top should be golden brown and the jam should be bubbling.
Prep Time: 45 minutes Yield: 12 bars
Marinated Portobello Tacos
This is one of my go-to dinners to make during the week. It's flexible, in that I can use different vegetables and beans depending on what I have on hand. It's filling and very satisfying.
- 2 Portobello mushroom caps, cleaned and de-stemmed
- 1/4 c balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 c olive oil
- 3 crushed cloves garlic (no need to mince, just bruise it up a bit)
- 1 T mustard (I like spicy brown)
- 1 t oregano
- pinch salt, pepper
- hot water
Whisk all the ingredients together except the water. Add cleaned portobellos and cover with hot water. Marinate for at least an hour. Feel free to add different spices like cumin or crushed red pepper for some zip.
Heat a saute pan over medium high heat. Add the mushroom caps and pour a little of the marinade over top. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side. Let cool a few minutes and slice up.
- I can of beans (I use white beans, pinto or black beans - my favorite is actually white beans with the portobellos)
- 1 roma tomato, seeded and diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 t cumin
- pinch of salt
Saute the onion, tomato and garlic in olive oil with a pinch of salt and cumin. Add the drained beans and keep on low heat until ready to assemble taco.
Use a heated soft taco or burrito shell (microwave or toast in the oven for a minute). Add the beans and slices of portobello mushroom. Top with fresh veggies (I like red peppers and crunchy romaine). Add taco sauce and/or sour cream to finish.
Save the marinade for up to 7 days to use on other veggies or tofu.
It's starting to feel like spring, but before winter's over you should make some garlicky kale white bean soup and eat it with some crusty homestyle bread.
Stewed Tomatoes and Chickpeas
My brother isn't much of a baker and he's been on me to post some more savory items. Since he's my best follower, I suppose I can give him what he wants. This dish makes a nice side dish, particularly on a cold day, but it would also taste good over pasta. It is an adaptation from a recipe in Veganomicon - I didn't have all of the correct ingredients for the recipe in there so I innovated with what I did have.
- 1 15-oz can chickpeas
- 1 15-oz can diced tomatoes (pureed tomatoes works fine)
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 c white wine
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 t sugar
- 1 t thyme
- 1 t rosemary
- 1 T balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 c almonds
- 1/4 c quick oats
Toast almonds and oats in a medium sauce pan for about 3 minutes. Blend (using a blender or food processor) until a coarse flour is formed. Set aside.
Using the same blender or food processor, blend the tomatoes (if using diced tomatoes). Set aside.
Saute the onion with olive oil in the same pan used for the almonds and oats. Add the garlic and spices (thyme, rosemary) and saute until translucent. Pour in the white wine while stirring in order to dissolve cooked on garlic and spices. Add the tomato puree, sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the almond/oat mixture then add the chickpeas. Simmer another 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and reduces a little.
Prep time: 1 hour Serves: 4-6
Carrot Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream
Cupcakes (adapted from Martha Stewart):
1 c sugar
1/3 c vegetable oil
Juice of one orange
1/2 T vanilla extract
1 T egg replacer mixed with 1/4 c water
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t ginger
1/4 t nutmeg
1/2 t salt
3/4 c plus 2 T flour
1 1/2 c shredded carrots
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine the sugar, oil, orange juice, vanilla extract, and premixed egg replacer.
Stir in the baking powder and soda, spices and salt. Add the flour and stir until just combined. Stir in the carrots.
Spoon the batter into lined cupcake tin (standard 12 cups) and bake for 23-25 minutes.
Cream together 1/2 c margarine (earth balance) and 1/2 cup coconut oil (you can use shortening). Add 3 1/2 c confectioner's sugar about 1 cup at a time. Once thoroughly mixed add 1/2 T coconut extract and 1-3 T non dairy milk. Whip for 3-5 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
Top cooled cupcakes with a hefty portion of buttercream and a large pinch of toasted coconut.
Chocolate Fudge Sauce
My favorite dessert has got to be a brownie sundae. A fresh baked, warm brownie, topped with melty ice cream and drizzled with hot fudge sauce…seriously there's nothing better. In the 4+ years that I've been vegan I have settled for hershey's chocolate syrup on my brownie sundaes. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but this recipe is way better. And it's super simple. I found the original at My Little Celebration.
- 1 - 15 oz can full fat coconut milk (room temp, shaken really well)
- 3/4 c cocoa powder
- 1/2 c sugar
- 1 T vanilla extract
- pinch salt
In a small saucepan combine the coconut milk and cocoa powder. Stir occasionally, until heated evenly throughout (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in sugar, vanilla and salt.
Enjoy right away or allow to cool at room temperature and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.
I read an article last week about how relationships work between vegans and non-vegans. The article summarized the author's experience with this type of relationship and continued to summarize a poll that she conducted via Facebook. The gist was that one partner pressures the other to succumb to their eating lifestyle, or everyone eats separate meals. There was a surprising low number of responses saying that they make one meal and adjust accordingly to make it vegan or not.
I am dating an omnivore and have been for about 10 months now and we have yet to have any problems related to the differences in our diets. I am the primary cook, and I cook vegan. We rarely have any meat in our house, but that's not because I forbid my boyfriend from eating anything. A typical night in our house consists of me making something for dinner and pairing it with a green salad and some sort of vegetable or fruit side. My boyfriend adds cheese to his salad and most often his entree. Voila, everyone is happy, unless my experiments are complete failures.
Relationships are about respecting each other. It's never going to be successful unless you respect the differences between the two of you. If it's not about what you eat, it will be something else. So don't stop being vegan or whoever you want to be to make a relationship work.
Now I can stop thinking about that article…

New Pantene Packaging
Pantene Gets a Makeover
If you find the eternal sameness of the Pantene bottle comforting, then you're in for a rough time. The brand is giving all of its packaging and marketing an overhaul. The new bottles will be shinier, more colorful, and differently shaped than their predecessors.
What's more, they won't be arranged in the usual way on store shelves. Instead of having all the shampoos and conditioners together, all the products for a given hair type will instead be in the same area, including styling products like mousse. Pantene is the most popular shampoo brand, and it's been Bella readers' favorite in the past. Do you think this change was necessary?

I like the new look. They are just defining who they are targeting which is the younger generation.. The younger generation like the sparkles, design, and anything else that scream. There is nothing wrong with a makeover especially if you are trying to target a certain person... Generation Y is the generation that don't mind spending money so why not... Pantene is very wise to try to capture this particular market..
I think it's a horrible idea- if something works great and sells well- don't mess with the formula! The new pantene conditioners do not hydrate my hair enough it all- and for those of us with long hair it is very important for it to look healthy and not dry out and break. I have been a loyal user for over 15 years. I never thought I'd have to use something else. I'm 30 yrs old and I guess it's time for me to switch.
I was a loyal user of Pantene. Now I hate their new look, and they eliminated the Moisture Renewal Products, The new products are not as good and now leave my hair very dry. They eliminated the Fortifying Fortifier product in a tube, and the new intensive restoration treatment (which is meant to replace it) is in a square jar that you must scoop out the conditioner with your fingers, and you lose most of it when you try to use it in the shower, plus the square lid is hard to get back on. And the new product is not as good. Why would they mess with a good thing? They just lost my business, and I have used their products for over 20 years!
Pantene has been on the market for years. Previously, Pantene has targeted an older generation and has had much success. However, with all the new haircare products coming into the market that target the younger generation (with innovative marketing strategies), Pantene must have realised the potential to target new consumers- Gen Y. Ultimately this packaging is more vibrant and fun than the previous styles. Hopefully it does increase their target market! - G
Change can be a good thing. Even though it's supposedly the best-selling brand out there, changing the packaging up a bit can create a new excitement and maybe cause people who wouldn't normally purchase it, to grab one next time they are out shopping for hair products. I personally find their current/old packaging kind of boring and I don't purchase it.

I've never had good luck with Pantene. Even their volume shampoo and conditioner left my hair flat and gummy.
jourdy marie
Yes, This is fun and exciting...why not change? They've been that way for a while, lets make em fun!!!
Pantene has always performed perfectly - really nice and shiny- for my hair. The volume one also delivers on this for me. I I like the way the old packaging looks classic - this packaging change is not an improvement, Sorry
I like Pantene products. I don't think the new packaging was necessary and I don't enjoy the look of the finished product. It looks cheap in a not-so-good way. I am kind of excited at the new way things will be arranged on the shelves.
Pantene is the best line of products out there. They get a bad name because they are in competition for the salon brand. Nothing makes my hair shinier or easy to manage.
Pantene leaves my hair a static-y mess, so I never use it (therefore, I don't really care about the repackaging). I don't know if I'm really into the whole holographic thing though. It looks really busy and more difficult to read.
My dad has been a faithful Pantene user since the 80s. I'm waiting for him to start complaining about how he can't find his usual shampoo haha

Is that holographic packaging? I don't like it, but I don't like Pantene itself either so I guess it doesn't matter. Like others, I have heard that it is really bad for your hair.
Sky Princess
I definitely have to agree that Pantene dries your hair out. I have tried multiple Pantene formulas hoping they will work, and everytime I end up with dull, dry, frizzy looking hair. I seem to get the best results with the Garnier hair product line.
I'm surprised that Pantene didn't go for a more sleeker, salon packaging style since they're always comparing themselves to the more expensive brands.
Well, if the quality is as good, this can just be a good thing can't it? There are billions of new products and Pantene had to get updated, even if there are designs I'd prefer, this isn't bad at all.
I heard Pantene will dry out and ruin your hair. If I am low on cash and have to do drugstore, I like the Garnier line.
Hmm, I'm not really a Pantene fan, it's actually really bad for your hair and scalp. But regardless, I don't think the new packaging was a good idea at all! It's fine that they want to update the product design, but the shiny holographic stuff? Pass. It makes it look like those ridiculous men's deodorants that have sleazy 'hotties' wowing the pants of various girls.

Mother's Day is an occasion to celebrate the joys of motherhood with family and friends gathered close to honor beloved matriarchs. Flowers abound and phones ring with messages from far-flung sons and daughters. But what about mothers who have lost a child? For them, Mother's Day becomes a day to dread, one where the pall of loss and sadness hangs over every moment. They are deprived of the chance to push children in strollers or to hear the footsteps of an active child coming and going in life.
To honor these mothers and their families, as well as all children who have been lost too soon, the MISS Foundation is sponsoring the inaugural "Empty Strollers, Empty Shoes: We Walk for Them," an international memorial walk. The goal of this event is "to make a statement and build community on one of the most symbolic days of the year for families – Mother's Day," says Kathy Sandler, executive director of MISS, a volunteer-based 501 (c)( 3) organization dedicated to providing support and long-term aid to grieving families after the death of a child at any age, from any cause.
You're invited to join families at the Phoenix Zoo early on Mother's Day morning — Sunday, May 8th — to push an empty stroller or wear a child's pair of shoes around your neck. Registration, which includes a family day pass to the zoo, opens at 6:45am and the walk starts at 7:30am. Families can gather pledges and build or join teams of walkers. Over 300 walkers are expected with the hopes of raising $30,000. Details are available at firstgiving.com/missfoundation.
Following the walk will be "Beautiful Soles" event at the zoo's Lakeside Ramada, where families can decorate donated shoes in memory of their child; these shoes will then be donated to two Valley crisis centers, A New Leaf and Child Crisis Center. Families who cannot attend but who would like to contribute in a special way can check out the website for details on purchasing footprints carried by other walkers for the Footprint Garden, also at the Lakeside Ramada.
Joanne Cacciatore, PhD, founder of the MISS Foundation, lists the objectives for the event on her blog drjoanne.blogspot.com: public awareness, honoring, solidarity and resource building to help raise much-needed funds so that MISS can continue worldwide outreach efforts.
Empty Strollers, Empty Shoes will offer the community a chance to come together to pay homage to families who have experienced one of life's greatest losses – that of a child. This event will also give those families a chance to grieve together and to pay tribute to their children as they walk toward a future of remembrance and hope. — Mary Ann Bashaw

Shopping in West Memphis
Recommended Shopping by Groupon Customers
For more than 30 years, two brothers and their sister have cultivated 1910 Frame Works' immense cache of elegant frames, earning them loyal patronage from local clientele such as the Memphis Redbirds, Rock 'n' Soul Museum, and the Special Olympics. Their support throughout the decades is due to the trio's commitment to stay abreast of blossoming trends and technology. Partnered with a national web of suppliers, they keep their showroom full of ornate and minimalist frames in thousands of colors, textures, and scratch-and-sniff scents. They also forge shadowboxes and custom frames onsite, harnessing conservation-quality glass and acid-free materials to assemble elegant confines for artwork, photography, and mirrors.
When they're not constructing frames, the skilled craftspeople rove the town to deliver and install their elegant creations and hold on-location design consultations that can help to determine suitable artwork for a specific space. They also curate their own gallery of colorful artwork, including local music-festival posters and prints crafted by local artists.
As a former Tiger himself, gift-shop owner Jeremy Stinson takes his school spirit seriously. A proud alumni of the University of Memphis, Jeremy stocks his sprawling, brick-walled store with the world's largest selection of Tigers apparel and memorabilia, with more than 500 items encompassing everything from men's, women's, and children's apparel to collectibles such as posters, foam hands, and posters of foam hands. Staffers will gladly chat about the team's past, present, and future and cheer along with customers during screenings of SportsCenter or the latest Tigers game in their onsite Tiger Den.
When it was founded in 1964, Tiger Bookstore only carried the textbooks required by faculty at the University of Memphis. Today, students can also rely on Tiger Bookstore for classroom gear such as lab supplies, writing implements, and backpacks. The store still stocks textbooks for students to rent, buy, and sell back rather than assemble into a makeshift postgraduate apartment. Books and school supplies share shelf space with a variety of clothes and trinkets emblazoned with the U of M logo, from hoodies and knit caps to shot glasses and key chains.
As a young girl, jewelry designer Kimberly Brown was taught by her mother to never follow the crowd, and she has been flaunting her originality ever since. Now, she expresses herself through her colorful, eclectic jewelry line, which inspired her to open a fashion boutique to help others show off their own individuality. At Urban Chocolate, she and her friendly staff act as stylists, helping their guests unleash inner artists while donning handcrafted and vintage clothing, purses, and shoes. Kimberly's line of jewelry is also always on hand to help guests spice up boring outfits or steal attention from their scales.
Urban Chocolate is located within The Seen. This retail and performance space acts as a hub for Memphis's cutting-edge fashion designers, musicians, writers, and artists.

Another voice has joined the cries of those speaking out against the proposed expansion of the California Correctional Center. Phil Nemir, president of the Lassen Land and Trails Trust, was at the Lassen Board of Supervisors Nov. 26 meeting to outline the group's objections to expansion.
Nemir said most of the public debate on the expansion has focused on the more obvious effects of the increase of population the expansion would bring to the area, including its failure to generate enough revenue to meet the new demands for public services.

While it may be too early to critically evaluate the success of the Long Valley Charter School, officials say they are pleased with the direction the program has taken.
"We are still on the learning curve," Charter school Director Jacquie Carroll said. "I find there is a little glitch sometimes when there is a lack of knowledge, not academically, mainly from a management point of view."
The charter school, which was approved by the Fort Sage Unified School District Board of Trustees June 15, opened with the regular school year and has an enrollment of nearly 200 students.

Cady told the directors the resolution will let the industry know LMUD and Lassen County have an infrastructure built, available and suitable for green energy. The county also has corridors for transmission.
Clean and green energy includes, but is not limited to, harnessing wind, solar and ocean waves to make electricity.
