hi-hat cupcakes on parade
Who could possibly wait to cut into this yummy, marshmallowy goodness?
This Mother's Day it was just us girls. Mom, Granny, Aunty, Sidney and I. Four generations! We spent the afternoon fussing over how to make the hi-hat cupcakes. The frosting is marshmallow. Granny was the project supervisor.
The cupcakes have to chill before you dip them in chocolate.... mmmm they looked good already! We had a great afternoon bickering with each other about how long to cook the frosting, how much chocolate to melt, yadda yadda yadda.

Marshmallow frosting? Methinks it would be great without the chocolate though. Not a big fan of that. =D

MMMM! That reminds me of something that Coldstone Creamery had when I was there in February. It was like a cupcake with icecream and marshmallow on top of it. It was sooo good! Despite all the bickering they seemed to turn out pretty good judging by the pictures!

Somewhere in Atlanta, Georgia sits a man. He sits alone, warmed only by the dim embers of his hate. Sometimes, when not killing kittens and giving indian burns to random children, he warms his cold heart by extinguishing the embers of hope that lurk within the souls of Spurs fans. Just yesterday he turned our joy into ash before our eyes arguing that Spurs did not need Joao Moutinho. It was compelling evidence that Spurs should spend their money elsewhere.
That is all well and good. However, I believe that Spurs not only have to sign Joao Moutinho but will. I come to you not with tactical analysis or fancy stastitsics telling us how many heartbeats per pass Moutinho has. Instead I come to you with the most powerful reason to sign him of all: YOLO.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you thought Drake was sharing half baked twitter slogans with us, but no, he was giving Daniel Levy valuable advice for the transfer window. It is time that we follow the advice of man who shares a heritage with our club.
Here's the simple truth: Moutinho is a world class midfielder and passer with more than 48 senior caps for the Portugal national side. He oozes class like the Berb oozes nicotine. He is coveted by at least three teams with more money than God and, thanks to AVB, its Spurs who have the inside track on him. Ask yourself, who was the last player came to Spurs who was already world class and still on the ascendancy? Klinnsman? Much like if someone asks if you're god, you say yes, if you have the chance to gazump three clubs built on petrodollars for a world class international you take it. I mean look at this, or this, or that. There are members of my family I'd kill to get that kinda midfielder on Spurs.
But what's that you say? Lennon's Eyebrow told you we'd have trouble fitting him into our midfield? We might hurt our 28 year old American's fee fees? Oh heavens forfend that we have four outstanding international midfielders for our manager to choose from, each of with offers us different strengths. Goodness gracious me, I may faint if we start to build a roster loaded with enough talent to win the league. We will find room for him. We'll squad rotate, we'll open an account with Howard Webb like United have. We will find a way to get him on the pitch. We know we have 20 million pounds set aside for Moutinho from the summer. Time to put that money to good use.
We've been missing Modric's metronomic string pulling in the midfield and that's what Moutinho is going to give us. Sure this might seem superfluous, until you realize that half the league is going to shut up shop against us and dare us to find a way to score against an 11 man defense. As good as Dembele, Parker, and Sandro are, none of them can run things from the midfield like Sweet Baby Mouts.
"But Skip," you say. "We should be spending that money on a striker like that dreamy Leandro Damiao with his eyes full of stars and hair made of unicorn down." This is all good in principle, but if you think that we are going to buy Damiao, then I would suggest you take a moment to do some homework before we continue.
Look, the thing here is we have a rare opportunity to snatch one of the best players in the world away from our rivals and some of the richest clubs in Europe. Will we follow the "facts" and "well reasoned ideas" of a bitter, unemployed man who hates all that is beautiful in this world. Or will we listen to what matters most: our hearts and the hashtags created by Drake?
When life gives you lemons, you YOLO.

Tea Party's True Colors
Original post made by Cindy Cross on Sep 12, 2011
Don't you just love that song by Cyndi Lauper, 'True Colors'? That song came to mind tonight after watching the CNN Republican Tea Party Debate.
The candidates answered the questions as expected, although Mitt Romney and John Perry sparred more tonight than at any other debate. Clearly these two front runners are trying to differentiate themselves from the other candidates, and want to show Americans that they are strong in their convictions.
But aside from Romney and Perry's theatrics, one thing occurred that made me hit the pause button and sit closer to the TV. I hit rewind on the remote and listened for a second time to the hypothetical scenario CNN host Wolf Blitzer threw at Congressman Ron Paul. "A healthy 30-year-old young man has a good job, makes a good living, but decides, you know what, I'm not going to spend $200 or $300 a month for health insurance because I'm healthy, I don't need it, but something terrible happens, all of a sudden he needs it. Who's going to pay if he goes into a coma, for example? Who pays for that?" Blitzer asked.
Here is how Paul responded:
Paul: "Well, in a society that you accept welfarism and socialism, he expects the government to take care of him."
Blitzer: "Well, what do you want?"
Paul: "But what he should do is whatever he wants to do, and assume responsibility for himself. My advice to him would have a major medical policy, but not be forced.."
Blitzer: "But he doesn't have that. He doesn't have it, and he needs intensive care for six months. Who pays?"
Paul: "That's what freedom is all about, taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to prepare and take care of everybody.."
Blitzer: "But Congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die?"
At this moment two people from the audience yelled, "yes" followed by thunderous applause.
And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
This is not a hypothetical. This is not some person making a good living. This is not a person choosing to simply stop paying for insurance because he is healthy and wants to use this money elsewhere. This is someone who stops paying insurance because he wants to keep his house, wants to feed his children, and wants to keep his electricity on. This is a person who is gambling that they will stay healthy when the house has all the odds, yes, let's let them die. An American's life is not worth paying for.
And that's why I love you…
on Sep 13, 2011 at 12:56 am
Death is part of life, Cindy. Deal with it. You're attempting to moralize a market decision. Markets are not moral. Markets always trump morality. Morality is so 20th-century passe'. If you want to be moral, move to Sweden or Canada or someplace. We here in the US have moved beyond your socialistic moralizing blather.
Cindy, can you hear me now? Let the guy die! It's one less mouth to feed, and one less life support system I have to pay for. Morality sucks! Consumerism wins! Ron Paul for President! We'll only have to pay a dime a gallon for gasoline.
on Sep 13, 2011 at 6:44 am
I suppose they all wore their "Christianity" on their sleeves, too. Jesus was the world's most extreme liberal.
on Sep 13, 2011 at 7:24 am
Cindy - In your 'This is not a hypothetical', the person should have been making a good living when they bought the house. They should have made a conscious decision to raise children knowing that they will be able to provide for them. At what point did this 'hypothetical' not have the earning capacity to take care of the life they have built? Should they have sold the house? Used unemployment insurance that they have paid into? Asked for help from friends and family?
Are you saying Cindy, that if you ride a motorcycle without a helmet and sustain a serious head injury, that it is my responsibility to pay for it? Hardly.

West Virginia authorities say a cast member of the MTV reality show Buckwild has been found dead, along with his uncle and a third, unidentified person.
Kanawha County Sheriff's Department Cpl. B.D. Humphreys says 21-year-old Shain Gandee and 48-year-old David Gandee were found Monday in a vehicle near Sissonville.
Humphreys says relatives had been searching since early Sunday morning for both men. They were last seen about 3 a.m. Sunday at a bar in Sissonville.
Humphreys says no foul play is suspected.
MTV said in a statement that Gandee had a magnetic personality with a passion for life that touched everyone he met.
E! News is reporting MTV has decided to suspend production on Buckwild's second season after the deaths.

The proposed state budget cuts off any new taxpayer funding to the troubled N.C. Rural Economic Development Center and steers the state toward a new approach on rural assistance.
Legislators, who had previously considered a range of options in regard to Rural Center funding, plan to use a proposed $36 million in the next two years – an amount sought by the state House for the Rural Center – on new rural initiatives under the administration of Gov. Pat McCrory.
Among them:
• A new Rural Economic Development Division in the state Department of Commerce. It would receive $24.2 million over the next two years and its mission would include grant making. It would also handle a one-time $350,000 to assist with extending broadband connections to rural areas.
• A new Water Infrastructure Authority to address critical water needs in rural counties. It would receive $9.5 million over the next two years.
• A new Limited Resource Communities grant program. It would be funded with $2.5 million in the second year of the two-year state budget.
A News & Observer series last month documented a host of problems at the Rural Center, which was created by lawmakers in 1987, including how political influence steered some grants.
A state audit last week found a lack of adequate grant monitoring and a lack of internal financial controls, but auditors said they did not conduct a broader performance review.
Longtime Rural Center president Billy Ray Hall resigned last week.

¡Riquísimo! 9 things you wanted to know about Latin American cuisine but were afraid to ask
CINCINNATI - Paella. Tamales. Buñuelos. These foods proudly mark the gustatory cornerstones of Latin American cuisine. They evoke cultural identity, familial traditions and sometimes even national pride.
This food embraces the Old World of Spain and celebrates the interchange with New World ingredients, found in Central and South America, and the Caribbean. It is incredibly diverse, ranging from Spanish classics like gazpacho and jamon iberico, to Latin American staples like arepas, tamales and platanos maduros.
As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in the Tri-State (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15), here are 9 questions and answers to help you really dig into Latin American food.
¡Buen provecho!
1. What is a chipotle anyway?
Thanks to the successful fast casual restaurant, Chipotle, the word has become a common household word. However, contrary to what some may believe, a chipotle is not a burrito nor is it a trendy restaurant outfitted in cool industrial Incan art.
A chipotle (chih-poht-lay) is a fully-ripened jalapeño pepper that is smoked and dried. Bright, turgid red peppers gradually transform into reddish-brown, wrinkled-up peppers through the process of smoking and dehydration.
While they may not score points on looks, the resulting flavor is irreplaceable and unmistakable: intense and smoky, with enough spice to wake you and your food up.
Chipotle comes in three forms:
- whole smoked peppers
- powder
- packed in adobo sauce
A mainstay in Mexican cooking, chipotle is often used to flavor sauces, marinades and in spice blends.
2. Is Latin American food always spicy?
No. Spanish food is rooted in Mediterranean traditions and is generally not spicy. The chili pepper, which is indigenous to Central and South America, is incorporated into the food of Latin America.
For example, chilies are necessary cohorts in the construction of the bright and energizing flavors of Mexican food. However, the flavor and heat level can be fine-tuned by the proper use of the right kind of chili pepper, such as jalapeño, poblano and guajillo.
The heat levels are different for the various chili peppers, as are their flavors. The idea is to weave in flavor and balance, without blowing everybody's socks off.
3. What is a Peruvian potato?
If you think a potato is just a potato, this one will make you look twice. The Peruvian potato is strikingly purple, thanks to something called anthocyanin, a type of antioxidant. It is the substance responsible for the red, purple and blue colors in fruits and vegetables, including red cabbage, strawberries and blueberries.
Antioxidants are prized for their health benefits and their consumption is regarded as a protection against age-related diseases.
4. Molè? You're kidding right?
Molè (pronounced mo-lay) is not a burrowing mammal or a unit of measurement in chemistry. It is a deeply satisfying, complex, savory sauce constructed from the artful blending of chilies, onion, garlic, spices and nuts.
Not unlike Asian curries or American chili, there are many versions, with distinct regional differences. The most recognized molè in this country is flavored with cocoa, making for a distinctively deep flavor and color.
While the sauce is good enough to drink, it is customarily served with a meat or chicken dish.
5. It's a wrap... No it's an omelet. What is a tortilla, really?
It depends. For the most part, in the Americas, a tortilla is a thin flatbread traditionally made from ground treated corn. Tortillas made from wheat flour, which gives it a softer texture, are equally available nowadays. They are commonly used as a wrap for foods like tacos and burritos, or cut up and deep fried to make tortilla chips.
In Cuba--and Spain--a tortilla is an thick omelet of diced potato, perfectly fragranced with onion and cooked in olive oil. It is a versatile dish, eaten anytime of the day.
6. What's in a chimichanga?
What do you get when you take a burrito and drop it in a vat of hot cooking oil? The chimichanga, of course. While it is a wildly popular item in Mexican restaurants across the United States, it is purely an American creation. Its exact origin continues to be contested, but it is generally believed to originate in Arizona.
You would be hard-pressed to find chimichangas in Latin America. It would be like trying to find egg rolls, another American invention, in China.
Next page: Talking tapas
7. What are tapas?
A Spanish tradition, tapas are small plates of food, typically eaten while having a drink or two. They range from the simple--such as salted fried almonds and marinated olives--to more involved dishes like grilled octopus and braised chorizo.
The origin of tapas is a subject of debate, with some believing the first tapas to be a modest slice of bread sitting on top of the wine glass.
Tapas have quickly evolved in many restaurants to simply mean small plates of food, shared around the table.
8. Why is quinoa everywhere these days?
What is old is new again. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah), an ancient grain grown high in the Andes, is getting newfound attention as a nutritional powerhouse.
Quinoa has an impressive list of health benefits. It is a type of whole grain and is gluten-free. What really sets it apart, however, is its essential amino acids, making it a source of high-quality protein, a rare find for a plant-based food.
Quinoa has become so popular around the world that the United Nations General Assembly has declared 2013 as the International Year of Quinoa. The objective is to raise awareness of a food that has been grown for thousands of years in the Andean region of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
9. Is the seafood in ceviche raw?
Yes and no. Ceviche (pronounced se-vee-chay) is a cold dish usually prepared by marrying raw pieces of fish or other seafood with a citrus juice like lime, punctuated by cilantro and onion.
The raw seafood is not cooked in the conventional sense, but the acidic juice alters the seafood protein turning it opaque, as if it had been cooked with heat. Food safety should be a priority when consuming raw seafood, so it is a good idea to only patronize trusted food handlers.
What's your favorite Latin American dish? Look for another Hispanic Heritage Month food column from Grace Yek next week.

More clients in the area will have access to psychological treatment now that the Behavioral Health and Wellness Clinic is accepting TennCare
An award ceremony was held March 5th to present her award
Before school started in August, the faculty from the Department of Psychology met to plan the future.
October 23rd Dr. Barbara Gfellner from Brandon University in Manitoba Spoke at ETSU
Natasha Gouge and Jessica Turner completed requirements for the PhD in Psychology, Clinical Concentration during Summer 2013. A hooding ceremony was held August 23rd.
Message from the Chair
Dear Visitor:
I am pleased to welcome you with the great news that we have received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation (CoA) of the American Psychological Association (APA) for our Ph.D. concentration in clinical psychology. The site visit went smoothly, and at the October 2012 meeting, the CoA voted to award us accreditation for five years; retroactive to the second day of the site visit, which was April 17th 2012. Our next accreditation self-study will be due in 2017. The CoA's decision to accredit our program not only validates the quality doctoral clinical training that we already knew we provided, it means that all of our Ph.D. alumni can say they graduated from an APA accredited program. Graduating from an APA accredited program makes it much easier for professional psychologists to obtain licensure as Health Service Providers in their states of residence. To be sure, achieving accredited status was also a great relief for all of us. Congratulations to our first six program graduates: Dr. Jennifer Correll, Dr. Brandon Bogle, Dr. Russell Fox, Dr. Preston Visser, Dr. Jessica Turner, and Dr. Natasha Gouge. We wish them well as their professional practices help reduce the workforce shortage in mental and behavioral health service in our region. Special congratulations and recognition also to Dr. Peggy Cantrell, who serves as our Director of Clinical Training, and guided our clinical training concentration through the many eddies and tributaries of the APA accreditation process.
We welcome our newest faculty member to the department: Dr. Shannon Ross-Sheehy. Shannon comes to us from the University of Iowa, where she served as an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Psychology. Her specialty area is infant visual attention, which, as an infant cognitive developmentalist myself, I am especially excited about. Shannon officially joined the faculty on August 15, 2013.
In closing, I hope you will keep us in mind in your giving plans, and will keep us informed of major professional developments taking place in your lives. I don't think I can overstate how much we enjoy hearing of the successes of our students. Feel free to email me directly at email@example.com.

Best Vacation Ever - Best House, Beach and Location
Review submitted: August 5, 2013 Date of arrival: July 27, 2013
We didn't want to leave and immediately booked our trip for next year. The house was absolutely perfect for our combined families of 9 adults and 3 kiddos. You cannot beat the views from Matarangi, whether you are inside cooking in the kitchen, on the main level deck or sunbathing on the top deck. The views of the dunes AND the ocean made you feel like you were the only house for miles. It was so quiet and breathtakingly beautiful. The kids had so much fun spending the day on the beach, checking out Seaside or just running around on the decks. The adults had an even better time doing all of the above with plenty of wine! We loved staying in Grayton, giving you all of the touristy beaches so close but keeping you away from the madness. It was the only vacation where I could say we truly got away!! I am in full depression mode right now as I go back to work. I have to wait a year to start my day with a cup of coffee overlooking the ocean and end it with a glass of wine and the most perfect sunset. But I have tons of pictures to look back on and can't wait to create new memories in 2014 on our next trip to Matarangi.

Our week stay at Matarangi was perfect! This house is truly amazing. The kitchen is the best appointed we have ever had with any of the vacation homes we have rented over the years. The house feels like it belongs in some dreamy beach film...the decks, the views, the gathering areas...WOW! Thank you so much. We hope to be able to visit again next year

Owners response:
We are so glad you had a great time at Matarangi. Guests love the views of the Gulf of Mexico and the Beach and we and the Owners work hard to keep the home well maintained.
We hope you enjoyed the pool as well, it is unique to have a Gulf front pool in our area.
Thanks for staying at Matarangi with Sunburst Beach Vacations.

Beautiful Property!
Review submitted: January 10, 2012 Date of arrival: January 2, 2012
Pictures do NOT do this house justice! The view from the ENTIRE house is incredible. The home has been featured in national publications and was designed by a well-known architect in the area. You can tell that much time and care were put into the planning of the design of this home. It is very modern, yet still cozy and homey. The big couch is perfect for curling up and hanging out. You can WALK to the world-famous Red Bar, and all of the neighbors are so friendly you will never want to leave. After the view, the best part about the home is the artwork! The owner is an artist and much of the work is hers. I looked her up online because I want to find out how to purchase some of her work. This is a FAMILY home. I honestly felt like I was renting from friends because they had a photo album of pictures from when they were building the home that we looked through. I loved everything about this home. Each bedroom has a private bath, so it's perfect if you have a large family. The kids den downstairs is perfect!!

We are a group of librarians, teachers and writers and we loved your collection of books. But we loved the view of the ocean and the sunset most of all. It beckoned us to go outside and walk along the beach. We also like the well equipped kitchen. Teenagers in our group loved the downstairs hangout and parents loved a separate space for them.

We are very depressed this morning that we have to leave this wonderful place! We have been plotting all morning on how we can overtake the property - squatter's rights maybe? You have such a wonderful house and what a great piece of property! We enjoyed our stay so much!! Everything is perfect here - don't change a thing. We had the best vacation of our lives and can't wait to return. As a chef, your kitchen was wonderful, the view while cooking was incredible!

Bold Chieftain is a happy warrior. At age seven, he is an exception in racing, still competing at stakes level as a full horse. Saturday, the millionaire son of Chief Seattle goes for his 15th victory from 33 career starts in the Grade II $150,000 San Pasqual Handicap at 1 1/16 miles.
"He's been very special," said trainer Bill Morey Jr., who has been in the business for 40 of his 69 years. "We've picked our spots well for this horse and he's rewarded us like another millionaire we had, Dixie Dot Com."
The California-bred Bold Chieftain has never raced outside of the Golden State for owners Dwaine Hall of Los Altos, Ernest Langbein of Alameda and Morey, from San Carlos, yet has earned $1,122,411. The versatile dark bay has won sprints, routes, on turf, dirt and synthetics, and on slop and in mud.
"We bred him, we raised him, we watched him grow from a baby, and we watched him add those zeroes on, and they got to the point where, wow, we hit a million," Morey said. "The horse has done everything we've asked him. We don't want to push the horse if he's not happy, but there's no market as a stallion right now. Our best offer was $20,000, so if the horse is happy and healthy, why not try to keep going a little bit further? If the horse wasn't healthy, we would not keep racing him.
"But gee whiz, $20,000? I could run him in a $100,000 claiming race, for crying out loud. Anyway, there's no market in being bought as a stallion, and he's healthy and in good form. He's lost a step, but he sure loves those Cal-bred races."
Eight of Bold Chieftain's victories have come in races restricted to state-breds. He has never won a graded stakes, although he was second in the Grade II Del Mar Mile in 2008. Bold Chieftain will be ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Russell Baze, who has been aboard 22 times, winning 12.
"Through the years, the horse has had little quirks, but Russell's always gotten along with him," Morey said. "Bold Chieftain has gotten older, like all of us.
"If he comes out of Saturday's race healthy, we'll look at the Sunshine Millions Classic (Jan. 30). Even though the purse has been reduced (from $1 million to $500,000), it's still a lot of money and we don't have to ship."
The field for the San Pasqual: Cherokee Artist, Rafael Bejarano, 115, 9-2; Bold Chieftain, Russell Baze, 119, 5-1; Nownownow, Joe Talamo, 116. 9-2; Goldsville, Alex Solis, 113, 30-1; Neko Bay, Mike Smith, 115, 3-1; Spurrier, Joel Rosario, 113, 12-1; and Furthest Land, Garrett Gomez, 121, 8-5.
PASEANA HANDICAP BRINGS SWEET MEMORIES FOR McANALLY
The 90s were sweet for Ron McAnally. Paseana was in her prime and the Hall of Fame trainer and Paseana's owners, Sid and Jenny Craig, were living the good life.
Foaled in 1987, the Argentine-bred mare was champion of her division in 1992 and 1993 and won 19 of 36 career starts while racing from age three to eight, earning $3,171,203. She won under as much as 127 pounds and captured the 1992 Breeders' Cup Distaff by four lengths over Versailles Treaty at Gulfstream Park.
Team McAnally traveled the globe enjoying the ride. McAnally, 77, understandably had cherished thoughts of Paseana, who is being honored by Santa Anita Saturday with the seventh running of the Paseana Handicap.
"There are a lot of fond memories of Paseana," McAnally said, "especially with the Craigs. They were first-class people. We had so many good times together all over the world, especially at the parties they had every Christmas at their house in Rancho Santa Fe.
"It was absolutely the best of times with them and with Paseana when she won the Eclipse Awards. One year, we went to New Orleans where Jenny is originally from. They took us to the finest restaurants, with the finest wine and the best food.
"Every Christmas they would have black tie affairs with Las Vegas entertainment at their house. We'd fly to Europe and watch a horse run when we had good horses like Candy Ride and Paseana."
McAnally described Paseana as "perfect" around the barn. "She always stayed sound, for the most part," he said. "When we sent her to Kentucky (Lane's End Farm) to be bred, she couldn't get in foal. Eventually she was sent to Argentina where she had one foal before she died two years ago."
FINISH LINES: Breeders' Cup Classic winner and Horse of the Year finalist Zenyatta continues to work at her Hollywood Park headquarters. She went four furlongs in :48 seconds on Cushion Track Wednesday, spurring ongoing speculation that the undefeated 6-year-old mare might race again, despite the fact that her retirement was announced after her Classic victory last Nov. 7. Trainer John Shirreffs and his wife, Dottie Ingordo, racing manager for owners Jerry and Ann Moss, could not be reached Friday morning. "I didn't work her," said her regular rider, Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith. "I think they're just taking the edge off her. Obviously, I would like to see her race again, but as far as I know, she's retired." . . . Jockey David Flores announced yesterday afternoon he has signed on with veteran agent Craig O'Bryan . . . Corey Nakatani was en route to Oaklawn Park Friday where he worked eight horses this past Saturday. The 39-year-old jockey from Covina is committed to ride full time at Oaklawn Park, which begins its meet next Friday, Jan. 15. Nakatani, who recently sold his home in Glendora, has purchased a home near Louisville, and intends to make Arkansas, Kentucky and Saratoga in the summer, his permanent circuit, according to former agent Tom Knust . . . Skyler Knapp, 10-year-old daughter of trainer Steve Knapp and his wife, Cori, will sing the National Anthem at Santa Anita on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 18. Skyler is a fifth-grader at Oak Ridge Elementary School in Chino Hills . . . The $40 Santa Anita Handicapping Contest is held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday this meet. There is a $10 entry fee and a $30 live money-wagering card. For more information, visit the Main Thoroughbreds Center in the east end of the Grandstand on the main floor, or visit www.santaanita.com . . . Entering Friday's races, there were 361 contestants alive in ShowVivor and only seven in WinVivor.

In the scene where Amanda stands atop a bridge, contemplating suicide and singing "Broadway, Here I Come!" (accompanied in the concert by its writer, Joe Iconis), Manolakos sang from the far right corner of 54 Below — standing on a countertop, behind a railing — to suspend reality and make the audience believe she was truly "falling through the sky." The song "Reach for Me" — a number penned by Andrew McMahon that featured the character of The Diva dangling from silks in Hit List on TV — featured a chicly dressed Rodriguez performing on 54 Below's center table. Audience members directly underneath Rodriguez made a quick grab for their phones to capture the moment.
Molly Hager, Eric Michael Krop, Julia Mattison and Monet Julia Sabel provided backup vocals throughout the evening, which featured tight harmonies and vocal arrangements by music director Benjamin Rauhala, orchestrations by Charlie Rosen and band members Rauhala, Rosen, Shannon Ford, Alisa Horn, Dennis Michael Keefe and Hiroko Taguchi.
Composers Iconis, Gasparini, Paul and McMahon made special appearances at the piano throughout the evening, while Pasek offered a brief acting cameo at the end of the show. (The Tony-nominated songwriter was later congratulated by numerous fans and friends for his polished acting chops.)
As the night came to a close (and The Diva had the last say in which actress would take the final bow in Hit List), Manolakos and Jordan offered heartfelt versions of Lucie Silvas' "Heart Shaped Wreckage" and Shaiman and Wittman's "The Love I Meant to Say." "Smash" showrunner Safran smiled in the back corner alongside co-producer Tepper, an avid "Smash" fan and the driving force behind bringing the musical to life at 54 Below.
The venue erupted when a group of 40 actors flooded the aisles for "The Goodbye Song," the Hit List finale and a new anthem for the rising generation of contemporary musical theatre.

Eagles QB Michael Vick has a rib cartilage injury and RB LeSean McCoy has a rib fracture, head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Monday.
"There are no broken bones, but he does have a rib cartilage injury. It's up high in the second and third ribs," Reid said of his QB, who was hurt at the end of the first quarter during Philadelphia's loss to the Redskins. The coach said he did not know when Vick could return to the field and that the Eagles would look into signing another quarterback.
McCoy's injury didn't take him out of the game, as he rushed for 16-64-0 and had 12-110-0 receiving. His status for next week's game vs. the 49ers is unknown.
The way we see it
Kevin Kolb will be the team's first-string QB with Vick out. He struggled for much of the Washington game, but nearly led the team to a fourth-quarter comeback with a late TD and a Hail Mary that went through the hands of WR Jason Avant. If McCoy is unable to play, Mike Bell will be the Eagles' featured running back.

In 2005, Tyler Balliet, founder and CEO of Second Glass, which sponsors wine tasting events like the touring Wine Riot, moved to Boston "randomly" after a period living in France and traveling around Europe. He landed a job as a delivery driver at Bauer Wine & Spirits on Newbury Street and quickly came to a realization. "I noticed that there were a lot of young people in the Boston area that bought wine regularly but they didn't know a whole lot about it. Working at a wine shop, I was trying to learn about wine and I realized how difficult it was just to get small amounts of information," says Balliet, 32. "So there just weren't resources out there. I started meeting wine producers and I realized they had all the answers to all these questions and there just wasn't a good place we could interact."
Along with partner Morgan First, Balliet has seen Wine Riot grow from 30 people to more than 3,000 for each tasting, with stops in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, and more. This year's tour kicks off with a sold out event April 5-6 at the Park Plaza Castle.

(AP) - Federal statistics show that 1 of every 10 working Georgians now makes the minimum wage.
An analysis of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that is triple the proportion when the recession technically ended nearly three years ago.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/a1eK) that recent increases in the minimum wage partly explain the rise, but the percentage of Georgians earning $7.25 an hour -- and in some cases less -- rose to 9.6 last year.
The national figure is 5.2%.
The figures suggest that the sluggish economic recovery is not reaching the ranks of the working poor - and may be enlarging them.

As of Thursday, November 1, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA — Georgia election officials say they've been asked to look into concerns by a group representing Asian Americans that hundreds of new voters are facing obstacles that could keep them from voting.
The Atlanta-based Asian American Legal Advocacy Center requested the review on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.
Many of the voters are newly naturalized American citizens in Georgia who want to cast their first ballots in a U.S. election, officials with the group said.
The group maintains that some of the voters are missing from voting rolls, and that their registrations have apparently not been processed.
The secretary of state has received the request for intervention from the organization, said Jared Thomas, a spokesman for the Secretary of State's Office.
"Any allegations like this we take very seriously," Thomas said Wednesday.
It's not clear whether all Georgia counties met a state deadline late last week to process registration applications, the AP reported.
The registration process is necessary to get a voter onto state rolls, allowing elections officials to confirm they can vote. A second issue involves voters who got flagged in the application process or while trying to vote, they reported.
"These are people who want to vote," said Helen Kim Ho, executive director of the Asian American Legal Advocacy Center. "There seems to be a lack of commitment in getting new people and new citizens through the system."
A representative of the secretary of state's office was not immediately available for comment on the issue Thursday morning.

- Residents can register to vote online ( April 11, 2014 )
- POLITICAL NOTEBOOK: Local immigrants unhappy with governor's comments ( May 22, 2013 )
- Asian-American leaders show community improvements to Obama appointee ( June 27, 2013 )
- Perdue: AG should sue over voting checks ( April 8, 2010 )
YouMustBeKidding 1 year, 9 months ago
I think this story is slanted. Granted there may be a group of people with an ethnic group that did get naturalized and such recently, but the thing is -- if there were registrations not processed, these people were not the only ones affected. Other people not of this ethnic group would have the same problem. I feel this story is a non-issue.

A man was injured in a police-involved shooting that occurred in the Englewood neighborhood Monday night, officials said.
Englewood District police officers were called about 9:50 p.m. about a man with a gun in the 6100 block of South Sangamon Avenue, according to a statement from police News Affairs.
When police arrived, they saw the man run into a house and reappear on the balcony with a weapon in his hand, "waving the weapon at the officers in an apparent agitated state," according to the release.
When police tried to calm the man down and get him to come down from the balcony, he pointed the weapon toward the officers, at which point one of the officers shot him.
The man was taken to a hospital, and no officers were hurt in the incident, according to the release.
Fraternal Order of Police spokesman Pat Camden said the man was walking up and down South Sangamon Avenue in the area of 59th and 61st streets "threatening people," Camden said.
The man then ran to a home and stood on the roof, which he reached through the attic, Camden said.
When police arrived on the scene, the man allegedly placed a gun to his head, and authorities attempted to "talk him down," Camden said.
Camden said the man then indicated to a sergeant on the scene that he would shoot the sergeant if he didn't shoot the man first. The man then allegedly lowered his gun and began to point it at the sergeant, when another officer fired two shots and hit the man in the side.
He was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County with non-life threatening injuries, Camden said. As of Tuesday night, the man was released from the hospital for further "evaluation," police said.
No police officers or civilians were injured, Camden said.
The Independent Police Review Authority received notification of the shooting at 10:23 p.m., spokesman Larry Merritt said. The IPRA is investigating.

Martin Boyce, an artist who re-appropriates objects from public spaces to create understated, Calder-esque sculpture, was announced as the winner of the prestigious Turner Prize this afternoon. Photographer Mario Testino presented him with a check for £25,000 (about $39,000) at the Baltic Gallery in Gateshead. This was the first year the award was held in a venue other than the Tate and only the second time it has been held outside of London (in 2007, the awards were at the Tate Liverpool).
2011 was the second year in a row that a Tanya Bonakdar artist has won the award. Last year, it went to Susan Phillipsz.
Mr. Boyce was the favorite to win, with bookies giving him an 11-10 win ahead of other nominees George Shaw, Karla Black and Hilary Lloyd.
Mr. Boyce, 43, lives in Hamilton in Scotland and studied at the Glasgow School of Art. The award goes to a British artist under 50 with the best exhibition of the year.

Why GOP denies global warming
A study came out conducted by the Pew Research Center that found only 6 percent of scientists to identify themselves as Republicans. This really isn't surprising considering the GOP has become the party of anti-science dogma, such as the denial of evolution and human-caused climate change even in the face of overwhelming evidence and scientific consensus (97 percent of climate experts agree global warming is due to human activity). Furthermore, a 2012 Gallup Poll identified 58 percent of Republicans to be Young Earth Creationists, including Georgia's Paul Broun. There is a great irony here. If the earth was in fact 9,000 years old as Broun suggests, there would be no fossil fuels to expedite global warming.
The average GOP representative receives about five times the amount of contributions from oil and gas companies than the average Democrat according to opensecrets.org. Gas, oil, coal and electric companies have donated over $3.8 million in campaign contributions to GOP committee chairmen, and these are the same guys that deny scientific consensus with zero reputable counterevidence and vote tirelessly to strip environmental regulation.
The recently elected chair of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, Lamar Smith (R-Texas), denies anthropogenic global warming. However, the 2011-2012 drought brought about because of climate change has caused severe economic losses in Texas and endangering the state's water supply. Smith has received $500,000 from the oil and gas industry. Fred Upton (R-Michigan) is the chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee and used to accept man-made climate change as a scientific fact, but he has since changed his stance to align with his colleagues. Upton sponsored the Energy Tax Prevention Act which if it had passed would have permanently prevented the EPA from limiting climate change pollution. Upton has received $1.2 million dollars from the oil and gas and electric utilities industries.
For years, scientists have warned of an increasing frequency of extreme weather conditions such as prolonged droughts, tornados and hurricanes that result from excessive greenhouse gas emission, and the massive droughts through the Midwest and South and hurricane damage from Sandy have cost families their homes, farmers and businesses their profits, individuals their lives and the federal government hundreds of billions of dollars. Clearly there is a conflict of interest clouding the GOP's common sense, reputation and morality.

Perhaps in Friday's second round, Bubba Watson will be able to reach the green of the daunting 670-yard 16th with two swings of his driver, as the USGA has apparently taken uncharacteristic pity on the field by shortening the longest hole in U.S. Open history.
After overseeing an opening round that took its toll -- to the tune of 53 bogeys, 15 double-bogeys, and four of the dreaded "others" -- officials moved the tee up 60 yards, according to Golf Channel. The pin placement, which yesterday was in the front, measures 16 paces back and four from the left and should be more accessible in the second round.
If nothing else, Friday's set-up may cheer Watson, who needs something more than a minor miracle to move into the first 60 and ties who'll make the cut. Watson will take his opening-round 8-over 78, which included a bogey at the 16th after mishitting his driver from the fairway, back to the course at 4:18 p.m. ET with his luminous playing partners Tiger Woods (tied for second, at 1-under) and Phil Mickelson (76).
"You can't reach that [16th] hole in two from the forward tee," Watson complained to reporters on Tuesday. "I don't know why it needs to be 670 with the deepest rough of the golf course. There's going to be people that don't get there in three because they hit it in the rough and the lie is bad."

Tired of trying to grow grass in the shade? Consider using shade tolerant groundcovers instead.
Pachysandra is a traditional favorite with glossy evergreen foliage and white fragrant flowers in spring. Try interspersing this groundcover with other shade tolerant perennials for a more informal look.
Ajuga, also called bugleweed, has green, bronze or variegated leaves topped with blue flowers in spring. Interplant with hosta to double the foliage appeal.
The quick spreading Canadian ginger is a good choice for dense shade.
Lamium is tolerant of dry shade once established. The variegated foliage helps to brighten the shade. The white, pink or mauve flowers last from late spring through early summer and sporadically throughout the season.

A study on Facebook behaviour carried out by researchers at Cambridge University Psychometrics Centre has been receiving attention around the world because of the extent it was able to predict personality traits of its users. The research was headed by Michal Kosinski, Operations Director at the University of Cambridge Psychometrics Centre, and he joins Derek today from the studios of BBC Cambridge, to tell us why we should 'like' what they found!
To find out more, visit www.youarewhatyoulike.com.
The Genealogy Roadshow will be in Lumen Christi College in Derry from 1.00pm to 5:30pm on Saturday. The stories they will be exploring include:
- A farmer whose extensive family tree might link him back to Saint Oliver Plunkett
- A Portstewart man who may be related to Che Guevara
- The mystery of a village whose inhabitants and homes were wiped off the map in 1852
- And the Donegal family who might just be related to Hollywood icon Meryl Streep
And lots more besides!
The audience will also get the chance to speak to local genealogists about their own queries.
The event is free, just get in touch if you'd like to attend - e-mail Ciara at email@example.com
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

McDaniels won't let simms start right away no matter how much simms outplays orton.
After seeing some of his game last night; Simms has somewhat improved. He doesn't stare down his man anymore he was able to look off and find the open target. Most of his throws were all smart throws didn't really force the issue. If he somehow beats orton for the starting job i think he will do fine. The denver o-line and receivers are wayy better than the offensive supporting cast he had in 06.
Does anyone else watch Knowshon Moreno and see Cadillac Williams? They have almost identical frames and running styles.
