Penguins crush Islanders in opener 5-0

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pascal Dupuis scored twice, Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves, and the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins opened the playoffs with a 5-0 romp over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night.
Beau Bennett, Kris Letang and Tanner Glass also scored for the Penguins, who had no trouble against the upstart Islanders even with star Sidney Crosby sidelined by a broken jaw. Pittsburgh hardly needed its captain to continue its mastery of the Islanders, who made their first playoff appearance since 2007.
Fleury earned his sixth career playoff shutout.
The Penguins, the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, beat Evgeni Nabokov four times in the game's first 22 minutes, including goals by Letang and Dupuis 32 seconds apart early in the second period to send Nabokov to the bench after he stopped just 11 shots.
Kevin Poulin came on in relief and surrendered a soft goal to Glass.
Game 2 is Friday in Pittsburgh.
The Penguins hoped to have Crosby back for the first time since he was struck in the face by a puck on March 30 in a game against the Islanders. Doctors, however, declined to clear the NHL's third-leading scorer, feeling his jaw wasn't healed enough for contact.
Considering the way his teammates picked up the slack on the first night of what the Penguins hope is a two-month march to the Stanley Cup, there is no need to rush Crosby back.
Pittsburgh rolled to the top of the East even though Crosby missed the final quarter of the season. The Penguins were bolstered by the arrival of trade deadline acquisitions Jarome Iginla, Brenden Morrow, Jussi Jokinen and Doug Murray.
All four players are searching for their first Cup title, and all four made an immediate impact in the series opener. Iginla and Jokinen both had two assists, and Morrow and Murray helped bottle up New York's quickly improving offense.
Islanders star John Tavares failed to find much room to maneuver and didn't muster a shot on goal all night. Those who did get pucks in on Fleury didn't fare any better.
The Penguins were eliminated last spring by rival Philadelphia in six chaotic games.
Pittsburgh was one of the NHL's best defensive teams toward the end of the season and kept it going on Wednesday, keeping the Islanders under wraps even after taking a big lead.
New York coach Jack Capuano insisted his roster — featuring 16 players making their postseason debuts — was ready based on the fact the Islanders had been fighting for a playoff spot for the better part of two months.
The rookie Bennett earned a start over veteran forward Tyler Kennedy due in part to his quick maturation during the season. Playing on one of the NHL's deepest rosters, the 21-year-old has shown a deft touch around the net and a penchant for avoiding mistakes.
He paid off coach Dan Bylsma's vote of confidence, needing only 25 seconds of ice time to score his first playoff goal.
The Islanders had nearly killed Brian Strait's penalty when a clearing attempt hit linesman Greg Devorski at center ice and stopped. Evgeni Malkin brought the puck into the zone and lost control, but Bennett chased it down and raced in on the right side before flipping a shot over Nabokov's shoulder from in close to give the Penguins the lead 3:30 in.
Dupuis made it 2-0 about 10 minutes later following a mad scramble in front. Craig Adams bullrushed Nabokov at the left post, setting off a chaotic sequence that ended with Dupuis smacking the puck out of the air from 10 feet out. It sailed by a badly out of position Nabokov and into the net.
The situation quickly got worse for New York after the first intermission. The 37-year-old goalie — making his 81st playoff start — had no chance on Letang's wrist shot from the left circle 1:19 into the second period. Dupuis followed by pouncing on a rebound off Mark Eaton's shot from the point to push Pittsburgh's edge to 4-0 and send Nabokov slowly skating to his bench in favor of Poulin.
Nabokov was struck by a shot directly in his mask and was briefly stunned before Bennett opened the scoring moments later.
NOTES: Bennett is the first Pittsburgh rookie to score the team's opening goal of the playoffs since Jordan Staal did it in 2007. ... Jokinen left with 2:20 to play after taking a hit to the knee from New York's Marty Reasoner. ... The Islanders went 0-for-4 on the power play. ... Pittsburgh D Brooks Orpik was scratched due to a lower body injury. ... New York's loss was its second in regulation since March 30.

But can the dude play?
Category: Sports Written by CNN
by Donna Brazile
(CNN) -- My dad was an avid sports fan and a great athlete in his day. We used to watch basketball and football games together, and I know some of his proudest moments as a father were when I wore my sports uniforms in high school and college.
He was a man's man --- a hard drinking, foul-mouthed veteran of the Korean War who came on to every voluptuous nurse who crossed his path. He passed away about this time last year.
I think about him often, and more during March Madness. I thought about him yesterday as I read about Jason Collins coming out as the first openly gay player in NBA history. I wondered, "If my dad were reading this, what would he say?"
And, clear as day, I heard his voice. "Yeah, but can the dude play?"
It made me laugh because isn't it just that simple? Can he play? Can he do his job?
At the same time that Jason Collins' announcement has caused a stir, there also has been noteworthy non-reaction among many. "Is this really still news?" we ask. The answer is yes. It is news because it's never happened before.
Pro sports, especially the ones where athletes get paid millions upon millions of dollars, are bastion of masculinity. Manhood, athleticism and heterosexuality are all woven together in our cultural paradigm. It's still news because the stereotype of gay men as being effete, weak, uncoordinated (except where it comes to Lady Gaga impersonations) and otherwise "girly" is still so strong.
It shouldn't be. Gay comes in all shapes, sizes, strengths and personalities. Just like straight does. It shouldn't be news that--- guess what --- some gay people don't fit your stereotype. But it is.
It shouldn't be news for that reason, but I'm grateful that it is news for an entirely different reason. Jason's coming out is a very, very public "it gets better" message to all the LGBTQ youth coming up, and out, right now. According to the Trevor Project, an organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth, suicide is the third leading cause of death for 10- to 24-year-olds, and its the second leading cause of death on college campuses. Lesbian, gay and bisexual youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight peers.
This is why an openly gay NBA player should be news, because it busts stereotypes, normalizes homosexuality and gives kids of all orientations a positive role model of self-love and professional excellence.
Until there are no more hate crimes, no more vicious bullying and ugly slurs, whenever a person comes out --- whether that person is a celebrity or a "nobody" --- it should be celebrated like the triumph of courage it is. That is why it should be news. Jason Collins is tremendously brave and deserves to be celebrated as such.
All that said, we aback to the question my dad would have asked. "Yeah, but can the dude play?" Yes, he can play. He's an aggressive, big man who holds his space on the court. At 34, he's probably aging out of the sport, but he's played consistently and well over the years and deserves to be remembered for what he has done on the court, not what he did while off.
I applaud his career and his bravery, and I look forward to the day that sexual orientation is a non-issue. We are all so much more than our sexuality. It is vital to the situations in which it's important --- namely, in looking for a mate --- but it has nothing to do with job performance, whether your job is as a secretary or a professional basketball player. Our sexuality is just one of a thousand pieces of our identity, not the sole determining factor.
Jason Collins is gay. That's not all he is, and it would be nice if we could keep this one piece of identity in context with the whole.
Finally, it's nice to see institutionalized homophobia crumbling. First it was the military, with the repeal of don't ask, don't tell. For decades, the argument had been that having openly gay people in the military would impair unit cohesion. Setting aside all the flawed assumptions that undergird those fears, you know what has happened to unit cohesion since the fall of don't ask, don't tell? It's stayed the same or gotten slightly better. This is probably because it's easier for people to bond when they're not forbidden from being themselves.
First, it was the military, now it's pro sports being forced to realize that there is no "us" and "them" when it comes to sexuality. We are all on the same team. I'll bet that Jason Collins will be the first in a string of professional athletes to openly acknowledge their homosexuality. You can also think of him as the next in a chain of civil rights pioneers. And I'll bet you'll start seeing them play a bit better. We're all at our best when we don't have to hide who we are, when we can bring it all to the court.
I'm proud to see Jason come out and encouraged to see the overwhelmingly positive reaction he's received. And yet, I can't wait for the day we greet it with "so what?" and a yawn. I think my dad would agree.

The New Effective Social Media Way to Recruit Employees
Traditionally, companies used external recruitment in the form of advertisement, referral programs and recruitment agencies. More recently the introduction and availability of social media, made it much easier to recruit potential candidates. Taking into account, most of companies seeking talents are typically in the Advertising/Marketing/PR field. This made the most sense. Find talent where the talent spends their time at.
Job seekers used social media presence to develop a brand or a personality to help identify who they are to potential employers or recruiters that might be scouting the space. It's important to point out that just creating a Twitter account did not mean that you "know" social media. Recruiters do not only look at the information you share but also the information and conversations you create.

Chess training - systematically | |
Tired of spending hours studying Chess without significant results?
With Chessimo you will learn and improve your game much more than if you studied any other book or software available on this planet! Chessimo is software specially designed for chess players who want to make progress, but have little time for studying. The basic concept of this training is to develop your chess strategy and tactics through repetition and memorization of key concepts (patterns) and positions. With Chessimo you will:
Drastically improve your Combinatory Vision
Improve your ability to identify Chess Tactics Resources Dominate more than 1,000 different Endgame techniques in chess games Learn when and how to apply basic and advanced Chess Strategy concepts Improve your strategic vision by means of 101 Strategy Tips selected by IGM Gilberto Milos Improve and accelerate your ability to Calculate Variations in a quick and precise manner Increase your knowledge about openings Play against the program and save your games Analyze moves and resolve your doubts in dialogue with the program Refer to games in our Database Develop your intuition The software uses a database of more than 6 thousand positions selected by the Brazilian International Grandmaster Gilberto Milos, all classified in subjects (Tactics, Endgames and Strategy) and levels of difficulty. Additionally, Chessimo contains a commented opening module and a database with reference games about this subject. Inside our program, you will find the "Crafty" engine – one of the strongest chess game engines, developed by Bob Hyatt – that allows you to play and analyze positions on an auxiliary chessboard. Save hours of hard work by learning through a superior chess instruction methodThe training process of Chessimo is based on the resolution of diagrams presented by the software. If you do not solve an exercise (whatever Strategy, Tactics or Endgames) during a relatively short period of time, the program will present you the solution and you will have to repeat the exercise.
The exercises are repeated in a regular space of time, and subsequently faster and faster, until they are permanently printed into your memory. We also believe that practice leads to perfection. In a very short time, you will have an Instant Chess MemoryThe training of the Chessimo is based on memorization of key concepts and positions. These key positions eventually become a sort of instant memory that, besides improving intuition, is essential to develop combinatory vision and improve variation calculations.
What makes the Chessimo so special?Chessimo is definitely a revolutionary chess training system. It reinforces your basic knowledge in Tactics, Endgames, Openings and Strategy at the same time as it teaches you new tricks. It's totally interactive: each exercise gives instructions, illustrates a concept and requires an answer from the user. If the answer isn't the most accurate one, the software shows the correct move. If you wish to analyze other options you consider more precise just open the auxiliary chessboard and the "Crafty" engine will support your analyses.
This teaching technique has a priceless value, because it significantly increases learning and comprehension, since you are required to work on a problem, before getting the answers. The software is also sequential. Even if some exercises seem extremely simple, they are very important to reinforce previously learned concepts. At any time, you may open the auxiliary chessboard and find out why the program chose not to perform the move you considered best! This repetition is the key to your success through Chessimo. Still not sure? Then, try our Satisfaction-Guarantee systemTest Chessimo, study it and take instructions from it, use it for 90 days - absolutely risk-free. If during this time you feel like your chess game isn't improving significantly, just write us and ask for your money back. No justifications needed! Not a single question will be asked!

I know there are a lot of long-term Off-Road guys here, figured this could lead to an interesting discussion.
I did Wheaton, kept waiting for it to get better.....it didn't
My ear's glaz'd over pretty early
I get what he is trying to do. Promoters have a vested interest in their racers. They promote them, and ultimately make money off their racers racing. It could be viewed as diminishing the value of the promoters 'product' if their 'product' was racing and thus available at other races, etc. So, I understand it, though think it is BS. As stated, it happened in the CART/IRL and WoO/NST battles we have seen. It is too bad. However, I hope SST rocks and all the great off road stadium/short course drivers race in the SST series so we can see them all competing together.
I know nothing about off road, but I'm learning here as we go. I watched the 1st 4 minutes and got distracted by the toilet running in my office....the glasses, never ever a good thing when talking to someone unless you're playing cards. I have never seen anyone, in any sport, tell the participants not to play elsewhere publicly like that (a whisper, or out back with the old rubber hose maybe), but like I said, I'm new to this...
@Dave, how this is normally done by promoters/track owner/s /operators/series is by have exclusive rules for said.I'll give you the biggest example there is.Na$crap, where else can you race a 'CUP' car? nowhere.NationWide? nowhere,Truck? nowhere.Only Nascar events.Built in exlusivity. LOORS doesn't have enough exculive rules so the talent and/or team owners cannot use their equipment in other series.I could type for hours giving you examples.
Pre-COT you could race Cup & NNS cars in ARCA, and you could still run a current K&N Pro Series car in ARCA (though with a few small changes here and there).
True, the COT car is a Nascar Trademark/property and therefore exclusive.
And that is what makes the SST format the answer to all this hulabaloo.
Perhaps someone close to the scene and fully abreast of how many gents there are that are capable of showing up at these types events. You know the pool of men that are the participants able to field an entry in either or both. As a round number 50 ? Also I would think the entries in such races as the Baja 500 or 1000 are filled with men who are not 365 racers so it would be unrealistic to reflect on an entry number for those and other high end events. In closing I admit I could have investigated the past races of both series and drawn from my research a conclusion about the numbers. however perhaps someone can say "Mike how come your post is not whacky but to answer your question there is + or teams that show every event here and + there". Back to the heat, I'm tarring my neighbors tires while she sleeps............this should be fun.
The numbers required for a CBS television contract are detailed in the video posted above. Perhaps both series can survive along with the new SST series, or only one will prevail in a limited television market. The reason Bob Patterson going all spunt monkey in this drivers meeting is that he sees a threat to his entry numbers coming from both the TORC series, as well as the new SST series. To answer an earlier question about why this discussion belongs on PR - all of this has to do with what series will prevail in attracting the sponsors, drivers, and most importantly to sponsors fans.
Now, Michael; Please spend some of your precious research time investigating your local ordenances concerning vandalism. Perhaps an animal cruelty charge may bring a lesser fine if you were to simply shoot her cat and stuff it in her mailbox?
hate crime?

ConAgra Foods Introduces Pop Up Bowl for Orville Redenbacher Popcorn
Snack-loving Americans have enjoyed the taste and convenience of microwave popcorn for decades, but now Omaha, Neb.-based ConAgra Foods launches the first bag-to-bowl design for Orville Redenbacher's popcorn. Orville Redenbacher's Pop Up Bowl allows for easier family snacking, sharing and clean up. The microwave bag pops open to become a sturdy, stand-up, wide-mouth bowl for instant serving.
Many years in development, the new design marks a breakthrough to the microwave popcorn experience. Other microwave popcorn brands have introduced bowl bags before, but none has successfully provided the experience and functionality consumers expect while still delivering consumers' value expectations, the ConAgra folks say. The Pop Up Bowl cooks on its side and features a transparent top, allowing kids and other snack lovers to watch their popcorn pop and see when it's ready.
As with all Orville Redenbacher popcorn products, Pop Up Bowl popcorn is a good source of fiber and is 100 percent whole grain. Varieties include Butter, Movie Theater Butter and SmartPop! Next month, Kettle Korn and Ultimate Butter flavors will debut.
Recently featured in USA Today, on CBS' "The Early Show" and ABC's "The View" as one of the top new products for 2011, the Pop Up Bowl ad campaign features "magician of the century" and the youngest magician inducted into the Magic Hall of Fame, the mysteriously irresistible Criss Angel.
"Making popcorn is a great way to bring family and friends together," says Jesse Spungin, vice president of marketing for Orville Redenbacher. "With Pop Up Bowl, families can enjoy the warm, delicious taste of popcorn in a stand-up bowl that makes it easy to share and clean up. Plus, research showed that consumers wanted to be able to see their popcorn more easily. The Pop Up Bowl's unique design lets them do that."
Suggested retail price for a three-pack is $2.99 and $4.49 for a six-pack.

LONDON (Reuters) - The FTSE top share index hit fresh five and a half year highs on Friday, as banks were buoyed by an upgrade, the prospect of the end of state ownership in the sector and rotation out of defensive stocks.
The FTSE 100 closed up 35.26 points, or 0.5 percent, at 6,723.06, just 0.1 percent off October 2008's closing high and marking the index's fourth successive week of gains.
Banks combined to add 18 points to the index, benefitting from an upgrade by UBS and led up by Lloyds and RBS.
The banks, which both received state help during the financial crisis, gained 3.2 and 5.7 percent respectively after Lloyds broke through the 61.2 pence level which the government regards as breakeven on its 20.5 billion pound ($31 billion) rescue.
"The prospect of both of those banks being released from the taxpayers clutches is helping sentiment in the whole area," Mike van Dulken, head of research, said.
Friday saw a volatile day of trade as options expired mid-morning, with buying pressure to lift the index above 6,650 and 6,700 levels, where there were a lot of open "call" positions.
As a right to buy the index at a certain level, these positions would be worthless if the index was below that level when the options expired.
Options expiry has seen investors abandon hedges against falls in European indexes, and extend bets on future rises in an asset class which has rallied on the back of easy monetary policy.
Friday's session began on a weaker note after a Federal Reserve official said the central bank could begin to slow its monetary stimulus this summer.
However good U.S. data on Friday was received well by the market, despite the possibility that it will accelerate the Fed's tapering of purchases.
"People are a bit unsure about how to read the Fed yesterday, because this whole market rally is caused by central bank intervention, and they're beginning to hint that it won't be there... but it will only be withdrawn if the economy is good," Joe Rundle, head of trading at ETX Capital, said.
"The momentum is completely on the upside, and people are just trying to get into this market now... Any little pullback is a great opportunity to get back involved."
On the down side, Goldman Sachs downgraded food and beverages to underweight and personal and household to neutral. These sectors combined with other defensive plays in utilities and health care to be the biggest weights on the index.
The top individual faller was miner ENRC, which slid 8 percent in afternoon trade after a report that the group's trio of founding shareholders had submitted a letter detailing an offer below 300 pence per share.

Clustering together to harness ideas
Last updated at 21:09, Thursday, 09 August 2012
West Cumbrian businesses met last week to take forward a plan in line with the West Cumbria Economic Blueprint.
Members of Britain's Energy Coast Business Cluster gathered on Friday at Lillyhall's Energus building to discuss ways in which they could support strategies highlighted in the document.
Initiatives from the meeting will then become a formal response to the blueprint and will go towards the next phase – the implementation plan.
Phil Jardine, business development director of the cluster, said: "We'll be monitoring progress and developing projects against our objectives as things develop in the coming months and years.
"We'll look at everything from future jobs and opportunities, to education and skills for young people through to new infrastructure, inward investment and innovation."
Tom Gilroy, chief executive of Britain's Energy Coast, welcomed the proactive approach.
He said: "If we can harness the energy and ideas of the cluster's membership – almost 200 companies – and work in partnership with them in the months and years to come then we will be superbly positioned to realise the full economic potential of West Cumbria."

Rich Chocolate Cake with Coconut Filling and Ganache
Author Notes: My friends often request the Hyde Park Fudge Cake for their birthdays, which I've made a hundred times. This variation has a yummy coconut filling and a decadent ganache that I could eat with a spoon until I'm sick! - nannydeb - nannydeb
Food52 Review: This is the bear hug of chocolate cakes -- it's big, it's rich and it's lovable. Inside the dense, sweet cake is tangy layer of cream cheese and coconut. And on top of the bundt cake is a thin ganache glaze. You're supposed to bake the cake in a Bundt pan, but if you don't have one, a tube pan works well (and makes it easier to cut out the cake if it gets stuck). - A&M - A&M
Serves 10 to 12
- 18 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate, divided, chopped
- 2/3 cups shortening
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla, divided
- 1 1/2 cup strong black coffee
- 3 1/3 cups sugar, divided
- 3 cups cake flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Set out the cream cheese to soften. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a small saucepan, melt 8 ounces of the chocolate with the shortening. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese with 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/3 cup sugar and the coconut. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled chocolate mixture, 3 eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and coffee.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cake flour, soda and salt.
- Combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just incorporated.
- Pour half of the chocolate cake mixture in to the bundt pan. Top that with the coconut/cream cheese mixture and then top that with the remaining cake mixture.
- Bake on the center rack of a 350 degree oven for 45-65 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the bundt pan on a wire rack for 10 mintues. Invert the cake on a serving plate to cool further.
- While cake is cooling, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Once the cake has cooled, drizzle or pour (depending on how much icing you want) the ganache on to the cake.

One of the best chocolate cake recipes ever!
about 1 month ago Sherry Schreiber
This cake is fantastic and gets better with age. I froze it in slabs, and when I want some, I remove it from the freezer and defrost it in the microwave. It is even better than when it is just baked. Also I used mascarpone for the filling rather than cream cheese, and it worked beautifully. If you cover the top with shredded coconut, it really looks special.

Hi, just wanted to let you know I made this for my birthday, but since I'm vegan, I veganized the recipe. It came out amazing!
Instead of shortening, I too used coconut oil. I used two kinds of dark vegan chocolate. Ener-G egg Replacer for the eggs. And a tub of Galaxy vegan cream cheese. Other than that, I basically used the normal ingredients for everything else. Oh, and for the topping I used chocolate chips, coconut oil, Earth Balance and more shredded coconut which basically turned the whole outside of the cake into a giant Mounds bar. :-)
I have to say, it came right up to the top of the pan and stopped, so I didn't have any overflow or extra baking time issues. (It took about an hour.) Thanks again for the amazing (now vegan) recipe. This is going to be one of my go-tos for a while! (Wish I could post a picture.) :-)

I adore coconut....and chocolate......this is now added to my "to do" list! I do have a chocolate zucchini bread recipe that has coconut, and it is excellent., I have to say that I was initially turned off by the shortening, though I do have some of the non-hydrogenated type. Love the coconut oil suggestion, especially since my husband puts it in everything! I have really tried to cut down on the fat content (and calories) of recipes as we get older. I no longer make things with a whole cup of oil or multiple sticks of butter. There are plenty of ways to sub for some of the fat without losing the moistness of the finished product. So, I guess I will play around with this a bit.

I agree with Aurora. Shortening? The word always makes me run for cover, or else just turn the page if I´m reading recipes.
I feel like I´m reading something from a past age. Butter for baking of, if absolutely necesarry - oil. But I´ve never had an oil cake that was as delicious as a cake with butter.
If people think they are doing something healthier buy using oil or shortening - fagetaboutit.

Look, if you don't like the recipe then by all means, bake something else. There is no cause nor it is your place to judge or criticize anyone else's choice of ingredients - different people find different things work for them, appeal to their taste. Run for cover if you must but please don't post negative comments on what a LOT of people have had great success with and enjoyed mightily.

I made this for my Mom's 91st birthday and it was AWFUL. I am an experienced baker, and gasped in horror at the shortening (used coconut oil as another suggested) and it did ooze out of the pan, not once but twice, but it was so hard and dry I had to cut it with a BREAD knife. The only outlier is I live in Denver 5280 feet, but have been used to minor modifications in only commercial box mixes. Followed the recipe to a "t" except for exchanging oils. Was looking forward to rich/delicious was a possible masonry substitute instead. The first chocolate brick.

We're very sorry you had a bad experience with the cake. Not sure what went wrong with yours; we made ours with shortening (and just to be clear, you can always use non-hydrogenated shortening) and it turned out well. The one you see in the photo is the one we made. Not doubting that you had trouble -- just noting that under the right conditions (and I've never dealt with high altitude baking so no sure how this messes with recipes), it is a good cake.

Abbie is a trusted source on General Cooking.
I have had this cake on numerous occasions and it is ALWAYS rich and moist and incredibly delicious. I am not sure what all of the fuss is over shortening - bakers use it often and it is available in an organic version just like most other ingredients - plant based, inoffensive. Not worth a horrified gasp I don't think. Perhaps the altitude IS your issue, but this is one damn fine cake
17 days ago pattycakes
At your altitude, Airehead, I'm surprised that you haven't experienced more problems with not adapting cakes to high altitude! I live at 6200 ft, and my usual adaption is to add an extra egg, decrease leavening by at least 1/4th (both soda and baking powder), and decrease sugar by the same. Raise the heat by 25 degrees. If you do this with every cake recipe from the get-go, you'll find they all work at altitude. Some will need a little more tweaking, perhaps, but you won't have the overflow that you experienced with this recipe as is. It's just that the science of baking doesn't allow for an all-altitudes recipe!

I have not had good luck with a Bundt pan (any tips for smooth removal?), so I went to a Tube pan instead; and after preparing the pan I also put parchment on the bottom. It came out perfectly.
almost 2 years ago losangel
When I bake a cake where the pan is greased and floured, I always let my cake cool completely, but before unmolding, I heat it over a gas burner to soften the shortening. It will release easier once the shortening and cocoa powder are soft, give the cake a little jiggle and it should come right out without any problems.

over 2 years ago nannydeb
I've never tried it in cupcake form, but I suppose you could fill the cupcake papers with a little batter, add a dollup of coconut filling and then top with some more batter? If you try it, please let me know how it worked out.
over 2 years ago cheese1227
That's what I was thinking. I need the recipe to stretch to 14 on a buffet so I was thinking that 14-16 cupcakes would look like more generous servings than 14 small cake pieces.
about 3 years ago likestocooklovestoeat
In addition to my comment above about baking time (40 minutes extra and it overflowed our 11 cup baking pan like crazy), I thought I'd add that it came out of the pan like a dream - we greased our heavy non-stick Bundt three times to ensure every nook and cranny was covered, cocoa-ed it up and stuck it in the fridge; that did the trick. The end product is tasty, so it was worth the extra hassle.
over 3 years ago Adriana
Setting aside the sad fact that it took me a month to get around to making this cake (time to rethink my priorities) I would like to note two things. First, coconut oil works as an excellent substitute for shortening and will make your kitchen smell like you're living inside a macaroon. Also, to get around the wet/heavy problem I used a spring form pan with a McCann's Irish oatmeal can inside for a makeshift tube pan that would releases the cake more easily--it worked! Lined with waxed paper, by the way. Since I live with infidels who do not worship chocolate it's whipped cream with more coconut flakes instead of the ganache for us.
almost 3 years ago nannydeb
My husband said he "wanted more coconut" in this cake, which I didn't think was possible. So, upon your suggestion, I subbed the coconut oil and it was fabulous! Thanks!
over 3 years ago personalchef
Just checked on my cake in the oven after 45 minutes and half of it has spilled out over the cake pan onto the bottom of my oven. I thought I did everything right after spending good money on the ingredients and making sure I had the correct size bundt pan. I think it might take another 30 minutes to finish and them at least an hour or so to re-clean my oven. Has anyone else run into this problem? Very disappointing.
about 3 years ago likestocooklovestoeat
We're running into a long cooking time as well; at least 30 extra minutes, and the tester is *just about clean* so it will probably be 40 minutes extra before it's done. We also ran into the spillover too, so far all contained by a cookie sheet.

I'm mystified by the batter running over -- and obviously sorry you had this happen. I wonder if my cake pan, which I bought at a regular cookware store, is extra deep? I'll change the cooking time in the recipe to account for variation. Ours worked as stated. Again, sorry you had trouble with the cake.

Oh man, is this cake good. It almost made it onto the plate in one piece ;-)
It is rich indeed, and heavy and moist and just divine.
A perfect birthday cake for me. Thanks nannydeb! You must make it for aargersi.
over 3 years ago nannydeb
Making this cake on Saturday, I, too had a bit of sticking on one side when removing it from the pan. It stuck to the pan where the coconut filling had baked too close to the side. My first reaction was to eat the pieces stuck to the pan, but instead I took them out, put them on the cake and glued them there with the ganache. I took the cake to a family party and no one was the wiser...

Actually, I meant to say that neither my culinary Weltanschauung nor my worldview @ a grander, more general existential scale, recognizes the C-word, Cr_ _ _ o, or the concept of shortening. I am disappointed that yours does.
over 3 years ago Helenthenanny
I once ate a big spoonful of buttered flavored Crisco just to see how it was. It was quite the experience, that big glob just moved around in my mouth like wax. It made me Weltanschauung all over myself. I'll give this Spectrum shortening a go though, I'm all for healthy alternatives, thanks Amanda! And you were right Merrill, I did learn something ; )

I am so offended by the use of the word, "shortening," in this recipe. Actually, I was very excited by the AH tweet; when I tracked down the recipe, I wilted. I was crushed. I don't ever, ever, ever consider a recipe with ....the C-word. It may be ruined for me -- I don't even know if I could manage to try the recipe out even by substituting in a real food product, butter. : (
over 3 years ago
Amanda is a co-founder of Food52.
There's nothing wrong with trying it with butter -- lots of people on the site make substitutions in the recipes, and it's always interesting to hear how these substitutions turn out. If you try this with butter, please let us know how it goes!

Comments about PADI Divers Log, Blue (70047):
I had been using the DAN logs but couldn't find any. This logbook is okay but a good portion of the beginning is taken up with PADI beginner diver info and specialty diver pages. So you end up with fewer actual dive log pages

Microsoft and Huawei announce 4Afrika, a handset with an African heart
Huawei and Microsoft have had an odd relationship. It first looked like Microsoft was trying to distance themselves from the Chinese OEM due to political factors back in mid-October. It was believed they'd be ready for the Windows Phone 8 launch, but instead the company pushed back the reveal of their Ascend W1 handset to CES 2013. Now, the two are cozying and partnering up for a joint launch of a handset in Africa – the Huawei 4Afrika.
At first glance the 4Afrika looks to be an Ascend W1 with a 4Afrika logo on the back. And to be honest, that's exactly what it is, a variant of the Ascend W1. There aren't many differences between the two, the only one we could spot was the battery. The 4Afrika packs a 1730 mAh battery compared to 1950 mAh in the Ascend W1. Most likely a cost saving feature for emerging markets.
So what is with the 4Afrika branding? Turns out Microsoft has a new initiative for the African continent called, you guessed it – 4Afrika. The goal is to leverage technology to actively engage Africa's economic development and to improve its global competitiveness. Microsoft hopes to use both hardware and software to push forward with its agenda. Devices like the Huawei 4Afrika and Nokia Lumia 510 and 620 are the hardware push, while the 4Afrika initiative itself will develop apps and services specific to that region. The Huawei 4Afrika earns the branding by bundling some of those apps on the device itself – of course you can always uninstall them, but it's a nice feature for the device. Here is a nice little quote from the announcement article summing it up:
"The phone also comes preloaded with custom apps created by African developers for African consumers and feature a market-specific store within the larger Windows Phone Store for downloading locally-relevant apps and content."
Affordable hardware with custom software is a winning combination to sway buyers away from feature phones on the continent, which control about 90% of the mobile market. Microsoft and its partners (like Huawei and Nokia) see huge potential for growth in those numbers. Windows Phone devices that are inexpensive have always provided a minimum level of acceptable performance. It's that fact that makes us believe the platform can give Android a good fight for marketshare in emerging markets.
No word on price for the Huawei 4Afrika, but we expect it to be cheaper than the $258 asking price of the bigger battery Ascend W1. You can expect the Windows Phone 8 device later this month in Angola, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa. A variety of colors will be available to consumers: black, red, white, and blue - the usual suspects we saw back at CES.
What do you think of the Huawei 4Afrika handset and the initiative itself?

People need to lighten up, not everything is racist that doesn't mean that some people can't help that they're racist. This is great for Africa, very little is said about them and all their people. They buy products too.
AngryNil says:
Petition to ban 4GB phones, please.
Aaron M says:
In my ideal world, all phones would be sold with 4GB or less memory to save on costs. But they would all include memory card slots. I'd much rather upgrade my own memory.
NairobiWP7 says:
Sam, thank you for a a good article.
I hope everyone here realizes the impact this device will have on #WindowsPhone sales. The potential market for Smartphone in Africa is HUUGE! OEM's are taking note and are delivering tailor made devices for this region. A big shout and thank you to Huawei and Nokia for pushing MSFT to support Windows Phone on my continent.
crystal_planet says:
I totally agree. I region centric phone is a great idea. Nice work Microsoft/Huawei.
bilzkh says:
I hope MS can make serious in-roads in Africa.
inside man 55 says:
Great idea, Africa, china, India, and other developing economies is where the growth is

A real highlight of my degree at King's has been the opportunity to spend a year in a French-speaking country. I spent seven months as an English Language Assistant in a high school in Avignon, sandwiched between two summer internships, and received incredible financial support from the Erasmus Programme to do so. As well as dramatically improving my French, I gained a greater sense of independence and returned to London ready to enjoy every moment of my final year at King's. And you don't have to be a languages student to spend a semester or a year abroad, so it's an experience that I would recommend to anyone.
During my time at King's I've come to truly appreciate the fact that I am being taught by experts in the field of French literature, whose passion and knowledge of their subject comes across in a really inspirational way. The department is very friendly and I've been able to have my say – and represent the views of my fellow students – as a Course Representative, an opportunity for direct input which is very important as we students strive to receive the high quality of education that we are paying for. King's also gives recognition to students for their achievements: in my second year I was awarded a generous scholarship for my academic record and active participation in college life, and I also received a travel grant that enabled me to do an unpaid internship in France, so the financial support is there if you find you need it.
Thanks to the skills I've gained from studying at a world-class institution and teaching through the British Council on my year abroad, I've been offered a place on the Teachfirst Leadership Development Programme, where I'll be joining hundreds of other graduates on the mission to bring high quality education to children in challenging circumstances and to enable them to go on to study at universities like King's too. I feel that my time here has encouraged me to broaden my horizons and to keep on challenging myself.

Prices of the humble potato, the common man's staple vegetable, are likely to remain high till December and will be sold through ration shops till prices decline, the state government has said.
Potato prices in West Bengal, the second largest producer of the tuber in the country after Uttar Pradesh, are ruling high in wholesale as well as retail markets owing to low production, high cold storage prices and soaring input costs.
"We are selling potato across the state between Rs.10 and Rs.12," Food and Supplies Minister Jyoti Priya Mallick told IANS.
"We are getting good response. Potatoes will be sold from the ration shops until prices decline," Mallick added.
Wholesale prices of potato were between Rs.7 and Rs.9 per kg last year when the state had a bumper 10-million tonne production after growing the same quantity of the crop the previous year. This year, however, only 8.5 million tonnes of the tuber could be produced in the state, leading to skyrocketing prices.
Currently, prices in the wholesale markets are ruling between Rs.10 and Rs.11, up by more than 30 percent compared with the corresponding period last year.
"Potato is being sold at Rs.13-Rs.14 a kg in retail markets. I think the prices are likely to remain in the same range throughout the year, subject to weather conditions," West Bengal Cold Storage Association member Patit Paban De told IANS.
De blamed this year's slide in production, high cold storage loading prices as well as fall in cultivation of the tuber in south India for the prevailing high prices.
"High prices of potato is an all-India phenomenon," he said.
Uttar Pradesh, the country's largest producer of potato, also grew 20 percent less this time compared with 2011.
Last month, retail prices of potato shot up to Rs.20 per kg in Kolkata.
"Some merchants and sellers released less quantity of potatoes in the market as commodity exchanges had been saying that prices of the crop would go up further. We cautioned the government and it took steps to bring it to the present level," De said.
He, however, added that prices were unlikely to fall further owing to fall in production in the southern parts of the country due to lack of rainfall this year.
In southern India, the potato crop is cultivated between May and June.
"Potato cultivation in south India this year has been about 60 percent less than that of last year," De added.
The state government, which accused hoarders and middlemen of escalating prices of vegetables, started selling the tuber from ration shops in all municipal towns from this month.
Potato, the domestic consumption of which is about 5.2 million tonnes annually in Bengal, is harvested during December-end and January.
