This sublime coffee cake, spiked with a little Marsala or rum, is real comfort food. It is even more delicious accompanied by a glass of wine.–Carol Field
Walnut and Raisin Coffee Cake Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 8
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 6 tablespoons Marsala or rum
- 10 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon walnuts or blanched almonds, toasted and roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 1. Soak the raisins in the Marsala or rum for 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2. Cream the butter and sugar together well. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, incorporating each one well before adding the next. Mix together the milk, reserved Marsala or rum, and vanilla.
- 3. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a rubber spatula, beat the milk mixture into the butter mixture in three additions alternating with the dry ingredients.
- 4. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. With the rubber spatula, stir one quarter of them into the batter to lighten it, then fold in the rest along with the nuts and raisins.
- 5. Turn the batter into a buttered and lightly floured angel food pan or ring mold, sprinkle the top with the turbinado sugar, and bake for about 45 minutes, until the top is golden and a tester comes out clean.
- 6. If you prefer to use a 9- X 5-inch loaf pan, bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then invert onto a rack, and cool to room temperature.
- Ciambella al Anice: Use 1 tablespoon anise seeds instead of the raisins and nuts. Substitute Sambuca for the Marsala or rum, or omit it altogether and increase the milk to 1/2 cup.

Other than the slightly burnt bits (thanks to my convection oven), the cake was VERY well received. I baked mine in a loaf pan, and I could imagine it, prettily wrapped up, being well-received as a gift! Whilst you can taste the Marsala ("There's a bit of booze in this cake!" was one of the happy comments), it is not overwhelming and offsets the sweetness of the raisins and the slightly bitter crunch of the walnuts beautifully.

This is great as a tasty treat to accompany your morning coffee or as a fabulous finale to any meal. The combination of the rum, raisins, and toasted nuts give this cake a wonderful flavor and nice bit of texture. Easy to make and a big crowd pleaser.

This is the queen of coffee cakes! Everything about this is perfect: the buttery, light crumb combined with the textures of toasted walnuts, rum-soaked raisins and crunchy turbinado sugar topping plus the not-too-sweet flavor with a mysterious hint of rum. The ciambella is now my new hostess and holiday gift presentation piece.

This is a solid recipe. The Marsala gives it a pleasant fragrance and it has just enough raisins and nuts for interest. Barely sweetened, it is perfect for dunking into a cup of sweet, milky coffee, but it is not quite sweet enough for eating alone. The texture is dense yet light, with a nice crunchy cracked top.

This cake was pure heaven…to make and to eat. The process of making the dough is lovely, with all sorts of colors showing up at various stages. The instructions matched my experience of making this cake to the letter; right down to baking time being right down to the minute. I served it to several people (in a half hearted attempt to limit my own nibbling) and to the person, it got rave reviews. The recipe is very versatile, and I will use it for breakfast or brunch, afternoon snack or dessert. It is not too sweet and not too heavy. The rum soaked raisins just make it. Absolutely a keeper and a recipe to share.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia officials have reacted cautiously to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. Georgia is one of several states that have had to get federal approval for election law changes, from polling location to district lines. The court didn't strike down the "preclearance" rule itself. But the justices invalidated the formula used to determine what states submit their changes. The question is what that means for new laws that Georgia officials have submitted to the Justice Department but not gotten a decision. Attorney General Sam Olens praised the court's ruling in a statement but didn't say how he interpreted its effect on pending changes. A spokesman in Secretary of State Brian Kemp's office said the state's top election lawyers are reviewing the decision.

4Katie Holmes is Talking About a 'Dawson's Creek' Reunion (!)
This is what Katie Holmes had to say to Jimmy Fallon on her most recent appearance on his show:
"I love everyone from the show. We have kind of talked about it here and there. But we're like, 'What do you do?' Because [in] our last episode, Michelle's character passed away…I don't know…Maybe we'll go on vacation — that [would] be fun — and just film it!"
You know, this might actually be happening. I know we talked about it in the past, and waxed all nostalgic over what it'd be like, but this is especially poignant for me on this day, friends, because today I'm watching part one of the series finale. Yup. I finally made it through the entire season, and today it reaches its end.
Just to brief you, this is what other characters from the show had to say on a possible 'Dawson's Creek' reunion. Michelle Williams:
"I would very happily do a reunion show, I don't know what it would be. My character died in the end, so there are certain limitations for me. It's either I come back as a ghost or I'm shot through a lot of gauzy, hazy light as my nineteen-year-old self."
"Well, we killed the show so I don't think that's ever going to happen. Never say never. If I'm out of work for enough years, absolutely. We'll be old and gray and nasty by the time (that happens)."
Shut up, Joshua Jackson. James Van Der Beek:
"They can get nominated for all the Oscars they want. You don't put the Beatles back together without John Lennon. And I'm Lennon and McCartney, bitch."
Um, sort of. But really? This would be the best news of all. Word on the street was that the only thing holding up a reunion was Tom Cruise, but now that all that crazy's out of the picture, hey. It could happen, right? Maybe just in time for the 10-year anniversary of the show's ending!

For a moment I totally thought Tom Cruise was going to be in it. Then I woke up and remembered what the link was. :D HAAA!
I don't mean to be all technical, but the James Van Der Beek quote is from his character on his tv show, Don't trust the B in Apt. 23….so not "actually" from James. Though, that episode it's taken from, is about a Dawson's reunion too, oddly enough.
OH DEAR! The pho.to clicked on makes Katie look a cheap karTRASHian. Not a good look.
Van Der Beek's show just got cancelled so of course he's free! Jackson is on Fringe, but after May when they show's stop for summer he should be free. Williams just stareted pre-production on a new movie due out in 2014. Holmes just became the face of Bobbi Brown cosmetics so she's got time….
…Then you have the others:
Jack Kerr (Jack McPhee)
Meredith Monroe (Andie McPhee)
IF they do a reunion I would like Meredith Monroe to come back. Her brother Jack became a big part of the show. I missed Andie, she brought alot to the show and should be included if a reunion show is planned!!!

The annual Langston Hughes African American Film Festival is a program of LHPAI providing provocative films and works about the African American experience from independent filmmakers. The festival features panel discussions, screenplay readings, matinee screenings for middle and high school youth and in-depth chats with filmmakers, industry professionals and local community leaders.
The festival is run by a core of committed community volunteers under the direction of Jacqueline Moscou, Langston Hughes' artistic director. The event is the culmination of a year's worth of community collateral-building through a series of smaller events that provide audiences with unique cinematic and filmmaking opportunities, resulting in the community-wide film festival.
The festival began in 2004 as a weekend series and has grown to nine days of film, workshops, filmmaker events and community celebrations. Films are selected from entries screened by panels and curated from current and vintage offerings worldwide. The festival takes pride in finding independent film that is by or about Black people from emerging and established filmmakers from around the world and in our own backyard.
The Langston Hughes African American Film Festival is proud to be a founder of a collective of film festival organizers who work together to build capacity and promote film appreciation in the greater Seattle area. Seattle is a film lover's paradise with a variety of film-going opportunities and festivals including Tasveer South Asian Film Festival, the Northwest Asian Film Festival, the Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, the Seattle Jewish Film Festival, the Science Fiction Film festival, the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, the Polish Film Festival and the nation's largest film festival, the Seattle International Film Festival, to name a few.

Frankie Rose comes partway down to earth on her second solo album, Herein Wild.
Her debut, Interstellar, announced her departure from the girl-group-meets-garage-rock reinvention that she helped instigate as a member of Vivian Girls, Dum Dum Girls and with her own band in 2010, Frankie Rose and the Outs. Interstellar moved toward the 1980s, with synthesizers enfolding the guitars and clean, ethereal reverb supplanting fuzztone, while the lyrics were often abstract and faraway, gazing from a distance.
Herein Wild starts, instead, with the crashing drums and distorted guitar chords of You for Me. The song heads for a chorus that admits, Time on my own, time on my hands, couldnt be true though as major chords surge behind her, she sees a chance to change: You for me, could be what I was waiting for.
Through her many bands, Rose has held onto certain pop principles. The girl-group foundations of verse, chorus and bridge suit her just fine. Her melodies are always crisply defined by hooks that are distributed between riffing guitars and her high, airy voice.
Rose and her co-producer and synthesizer expert, Michael Cheever, havent moved that far from the sound of Interstellar. The steady eighth-note beats, the rounded bass tones and the halos of keyboards still openly echo the Cure and New Order. (The album reaches back to remake a 1985 song by the Damned, Street of Dreams, though it trades new-wave guitars for synthesizers.)
But Herein Wild slightly dispels the haze of Roses debut. A flesh-and-blood string section sometimes replaces keyboards, and the lyrics are less remote. Songs like The Depths and Sorrow struggle against despair, and the nervous guitar tremolos, galloping beat and choirlike voices of Heaven are contemplating death, possibly suicide: Here it is easy to see how an end would be rest. Roses pop confections arent simple escapes.
Jon Pareles, New York Times

HOUSTON — Starting Sunday, Amazon.com will start charging sales tax to its Texas customers.
Brick and mortar bookstore managers are cheering the new deal between the state and the online retailer. They say it will "even the playing field."
At Brazos Bookstore, it's easy to find readers like Karley Little. "I'm kind of a little bit of a book fiend," she said. "I must have 8,000 books in my house."
However, it's shoppers like Sasha Gelman who could write the next chapter in sales.
"I haven't been to an actual bookstore in almost a year," Gelman said.
She and Irina Akatkin buy books, toys and electronics online through Amazon.com several times a month. "[We do it] because it's cheaper and you don't have to pay taxes," Gelman said.
"People are always looking for the best price, and sometimes the best price is online," said Jeremy Ellis, general manager at Brazos Bookstore.
Five other states have similar legislation to this new Texas law. For the state economy, it means hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenue.
"At last, it puts us on a level playing field," Ellis said. "Before, [online retailers] were getting a pass from the state."
"I'm sorry that I have to pay the tax," Little said, "but I guess it's fair. It doesn't seem too fair that all the stores here have to complete against somebody who doesn't have to pay it."
Akatkin and Gelman are not happy.
"[It's] bad, bad, bad," Akatkin said. "Depending on the price, most of the time Amazon has [a] better price anyway, so it's not like I will not shop there."
"[Amazon's] prices are still pretty competitive, but [paying sales tax] does take away some of the advantage," Gelman said.
They said it gives stores like Brazos a better chance to win business, which opens doors to customers some bookstores have never seen.
As part of its agreement with the state, Amazon said it plans to create at least 2,500 jobs and will make at least $200 million in capital investments in Texas over the next four years.

SHINE LIKE STARS! by CB - over 5 years ago
"This is our end of school year party for 2008-2009.A pilot program was started this year through MentorkidsUSA called "MENTORING WORKS". The purpose was to challenge high school students to give back to the community and to engage weekly in the life of an elementary age student. We needed our t-shirts fast and CustomInk came through big time! They spent all the time we needed helping us with our t-shirt design and never got impatient even when we changed our design more than a few times up to the last. I would definitely use CustomInk in the future!"

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
http://www.tvguide.com/News/Once-Upon-A-Time-Season-Finale-Kecks-Exclusives-1064688.aspxCarlyle says that happy Rumbelle moment in finale won't last long. Horowitz says characters are going to emotionally different place. Ginny says that the plot twist "breaks the pattern". Kitsis says it will be tragic.
Well we know they will be family but it won't last long, from previous interviews - after Emma saves regina, Regina and Snow make an uneasy alliance which is bassically reminiscent of two sisters bashing each other I guess.
So you have a strange combo of Charming, Emma, Hook, Rumple, Regina and Snow working together.
Then I guess something bad happens and it changes, we already had hints that whole "family thing" might not last, in fact it was stated that changing lands might have opposite effect.
^young peter is not cast yet.
Grown up Peter is most likely Hook, due to all the hints they are throwing at us(and the fact that Hook seems to be very friendly and fatherly to Bae in the flashback behind the scenes filming).
I am more interested in the "price" for the magic Rumple will use to track down Regina, which will supposedly connect Regina and Snow in very dangerous and shocking way(people are speculating that either they will be temporary linked so both will feel whats done ot either, and most likely afterward Snow will have Regina's magic)...
Also if the Lacey thing is resloved this season,i'll cut something.It needs to huge and troublesome,getting her memories.Otherwise it'll be just a useless plot point.
She regains her memories in the finale, however nothing is happy and there's even bigger trouble for them as result of Lacey plot, LITTERALY seconds after.
Meh,i never thought i'd say this but i'm tired of all this Snow-Regina'there is good in everyone' crap.It needs to stop like rn.Even cray Regina is better than delusional 'i wanna be better,you're the ones who're evil' Regina.Its boring the fuck out of me.Which Is why i will enjoy the hell out of magicless regina - because that's regina who makes most sense.
Also from the way the interviews go, it seems like "Regina tries to end Snow" kind of plots are at the end now. We know they begrudgingly team up for finale, after that most likely we will get a role reversal, etc, but Horowitz already said that they want to "reunite them as family at some point" in next season(or season after that).
For that to happen, as I said before, though, Regina has to get a taste of what Snow actually BEING evil would be like. I guess that would shatter her delusions quite fast. And with Snow going evil, Snow would get an understanding of what Regina is going through too, thus both of them would understand each other more.

4/5 rDev -1.7%
Pours a brilliant pale golden color with a nice white head that leaves some lace. The aroma has a nice spice to it that goes perfectly with the hoppiness of this beer. I definitely wouldn't think it's a rye lager based on the aroma. The taste is similar, but has a fuller than expected body and more complexity that I imagined. I really appreciate when rye is used well. Both the aroma and the taste have some grass-like characters to them. Great take on this style from Surley.
Thanks again to Deliriumfest for this extra goody.

Many thanks to Mike for the 4-pack.
Great Appearance. Dark orange body with a huge white froth.
Aroma: Huge citrus hops aroma. Touches of rye. No toast. No caramel. I know that this is a Surly hi-bred rypafest but honestly Im not impressed. This smells nothing like an Oktoberfest.
Taste: Hops, Grapefruit. Virtually no malt. No toast. No caramel. No toffee. Rye? Maybe, but thats a bit of a stretch.
Mouthfeel: Blistering. Unbalanced, overwhelming bitterness. Medium to light bodied. Aggressively carbonated. Not creamy or smooth as an Ofest ought to be.
Drinkability: Null. Hop heads will love this but I had a very hard time consuming half a can let alone a whole pint.
This beer really disturbs me.

Pours a dark amber body with a thin white head that soon disappears. Aroma is of toasted caramel and peat. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a spicy rye flavor. There's a medium hop bitterness that is discernable as well, but the rye is what shines through. Decent drinkability, but sometimes it depends on the setting with rye beers.

A - Pours a clear red-copper with two fingers of dense off-white head. Head has great retention and leaves some lacing. Looks fantastic.
S - Nice amount of herbal hops, some bread malt, and a bit of spicy rye. Pretty unique aroma.
T - Definitely has a Marzen character, though hopped-up and with a nice spicy rye character. Pretty complex and enjoyable.
M - Medium mouthfeel. Finishes pretty clean and with a bit og lingering bitterness and spice.
O - I don't know that I would drink this in place of my favorite Oktoberfests, but it is a very enjoyable and unique lager that I would definitely get again.

Thanks to Mikesgroove for this beer as an extra. Cheers. I took my first sip without reading the can and thought that this was a weird beer for a fest. Then, I saw it was brewed with rye and dry hopped which explained it. Pours with a thin head and amber. Smells of the mix of rye and hops. Tastes like a hoppy marzen with rye whatever that means. A very unique beer which is tasty & I am generally not a rye fan.

Serving glass: Poured from can into dimpled mug.
Appearance: Clear bright copper with a very thin white head. Looks like a Marzen.
Smell: Citrus, caramel, toast and smoky, spicy rye.
Taste: Slightly sweet malt body of caramel, toast and biscuit with a slight citrus counterbalance. Almost smoky spiciness at the end due to the rye, although the malt also remains through to the finish. Extremely well balanced.
Feel: Relatively low carbonation for a lager with an unusually smooth body. Semi-dry finish.
Drinkability: Fantastic autumn beer. While the malts are somewhat reminiscent of a Marzen, the hops and rye clearly move it well beyond Marzen territory. That said, it beats any traditional Marzen by a wide margin.

Pours a very nice dark copper color with a finely grained head. It may look like a typical Oktoberfest, but it's anything but. The nose clean and hoppy with plenty of citrus, but with a nice malty body in the background to balance the hops. This beer is exceptionally drinkable and downright delicious; And the mouthfeel is pure velvet. Awesome!

I hosted a beer tasting focused on marzens last year and included this one amongst the others as a change of pace. Perhaps because it was different from the others or just that it's a well made brew but this one was high on most of the beer lovers list at the end of the tasting.
A-Poured from a can into a tall glass this brew is very heady. The tan foam laces the glass and remains until the last drop. Clear with an attractive copper amber color. A beautiful brew.
S-Rye and toasty barley malt with a nice tropical citrus hop aroma with a fair amount of spiciness.
T-Plenty of rye malty goodness alongside the Vienna malt but there is also a fair amount of hoppiness (same taste as the aroma) here too.
M-Moderate bodied, moderate to high in carbonation. A bit of a bitter spicy lingering finish but definitely not overwhelming and cleans up nicely inviting the next drink. Vapory alcohol bite is also detected.
O-I've really been enjoying this beer on cool fall days the past couple years. Like all Surly beers this beer will wake up your taste buds. I haven't been a huge fan of rye beers but this one is quite nice. I really like the combination of rye flavor and the generous flavor of Sterling hops. Biggest defect is the alcohol bite in the finish.

Surlyfest 2008 vintage. Appearance is mostly clear amber-orange with a frothy off-white head. Good lacing. Aroma has some citrus hops and bready malt, neither too strong, with the hops dominating. Initially, the flavors had me scratching my head for sometime because I thought I was drinking an Americanized Oktoberfest so I was relieved to see the heading here as a rye beer. I tasted restrained citrus hop flavor with the bready malt but the malt flavors danced on my tounge for only a moment and was whisked away in a fairly dry finish, which is explained by the rye malt and normally tends to be a palate cleanser when added to beer leaving a pretty dry finish. Mouthfeel was right in the middle making this beer very drinkable. This is unlike any beer I've tried before because it does remind you of Oktoberfest but you've got interesting twists with the American hops and rye malt. Oh, and of course it's absolutely delicious.

Poured from 16 oz. can into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass. Canned on 9-08-11.
Appearance: Deep copper like amber orange with lots of rising bubbles. Solid three fingers of off white head with very good retention. A decent amount of lacing sticks around the glass.
Smell: Aroma of caramel malts and wheat grains with hints of rye spice. Also has a fairly strong smell of sweet orange citrus hops. Smell is overall pretty malt forward but hops are very noticeable.
Taste: Sweet taste of bready malts with caramel and some toffee up front is followed by some spicy rye and wheat grains. A taste of orange citrus comes from a surprisingly sharp hop presence for such a malt forward style. The hops add a mild bitterness towards the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Very rich, creamy, and smooth.
Overall: A very good take on a rye beer. A very nice balance of sweetness, spice, and bitterness. Complex and tasty.

This beer pours a golden orange color, with a tiny off white color head. The head fades fast, leaving no lace.
This beer has a nice grainy aroma. I can detect some spicy hop aroma as well. It smells slightly bready as well.
This beer tastes much like it smells. It has a more dominate bready flavor. Some grain mixes in. It has a slight spicy flavor also.
This beer is crisp and refreshing. It leaves a bready aftertaste. The carbonation is light.
This beer would probably make a good session beer. It tastes good, and the alcohol is not too high.
Overall: Thanks go to Scoobydank for being so kind as to hook me up with this one. This beer was great. I would definately drink it again.

Extremely happy I was able to pick up a couple six packs surlyfest this year. Cool looking can like most of the surly beer poured into a pint glass.
A- Color is a dark dull orange, bordering on red. Off white head is nill but the great carbonation keeps it alive. Not much lacing.
S- Very different smell from any lagered beer I've had, and it's quite pleasant. The smell of lager yeast is there, definite hop aroma. But theres that other pleasant scent I mentioned, I'd guess it's the rye but I could be wrong.
T- Nice complexities, the hop bitter stikes the tounge (not too sharply) and gets washed away by a smooth almost oily malt and rye flavor. And quickly leaves the mouth dry.
M- Great carbonation, excellent feeling of smoothness on the tongue. And leaves the mouth nice and dry ready for another swig.
D- Highly drinkable, very refreshing and leaves you wanting more. An excellent session beer.

Got this gem from an LIF hosted by maximum12. I am deeply obliged good sir.
Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a one-finger white head into my UGA mug. The head sticks around for a bit before receding into a thin ring around the glass. The lacing is very good for a lager.
Smells good. Really big on the noble hop aroma with a mild sweet malt smell.
Tastes a little better than it smells. The sweet malt and noble hop flavors are superbly balanced, and there's also somewhat of a floral taste that pokes it head out every now and then. There's a very mild bitterness at the end.
Mouthfeel is good. There's a good creamy thickness there with subtle carbonation that's not too much nor too little. Very nice.
Drinkability is good. I'm not the biggest fan of the smell, but once I take a sip it doesn't really matter. This goes down very easily.
Overall I'm very impressed with my foray into Surly Brewing thanks to maximum12. I look forward to snagging any more of their brews any chance I get.

A - The beer pours a light brown with some orange highlights, slight haze
S - I get grapefruit, pine, and lemon. nice.
T - Rye is certainly there, slight maltiness is nicely balanced by huge hops. The can is probably a good 4 or 5 months old, not sure if that would play a factor or not. Not as good as Furious, but still a great beer! can't wait to see what comes out next year!
M - medium body, seems sppropriate for the style, and very good for a lager.
D - Quite drinkable, Don't know if I could drink two in a row...I probably could though:)
Since I'm a confirmed Surly Nut. I love the twist that they've brought to an O-fest, certainly one of the best lagers I've ever had.

16oz. can purchased somewhere in Minneapolis, poured into a pint. Review from notes.
Pours a dark coppery amber with a large fluffy white head. Head holds for a bit and leaves good lacing. The aroma is very spicy, loads of rye. Not very typical of an Ofest but interesting.. Very peppery and mildly sweet. Taste is much the same. Lots of peppery, very spicy, loads of rye. Pretty damn dry. Has a very earthy taste and feel. Body is medium to medium light with good carbonation.

Leaky's Daily Quotedown to Deathly Hallows: 68 DaysDH Film
There are now only 68 days left until "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" hits theaters! We are posting a quote from the first half of the book every day in celebration and to give us a chance to discuss and ponder the final book as it goes to film. Here is today's quote!
"Remove this foul addition at once! Remove it, I say! You are ruining a great work of art! Where am I? What is going on?"
"Never mind where we are," said Harry, and Phineas Nigellus froze, abandoning his attempts to peel off the painted blindfold.
"Can that possibly be the voice of the elusive Mr. Potter?"

Live LeakyMug from California Now Available for Download; Potter Rules the Podcast AwardsThe Leaky Mug
When we rain, we pour: In addition to PotterCast #57 being released (all info here), you can now listen to our live Leaky Mug podcast from last Thursday at the Borders in Westwood, California. Get it via iTunes, direct download it here. Visit our site at LeakyMug.com to read all the blogs and listen to all the audio blogs from the last week.
What did we talk about at the show? Ohhhh, lots of stuff...Evanna Lynch, some "legal" (ie, WB won't kill us) details about the set visit, the new pictures, some really gross things Ben did, and the usual "voicemails" and other LeakyMug craziness. Big thanks to Chris Knudson for doing the audio and Borders for being fantastic in helping us produce the event.
Also, just in case you haven't read it on one of our sites yet: Thanks to you all, in California this weekend PotterCast picked up the Best Entertainment Podcast Award, and MuggleCast became the overall People's Choice Winner of the 2006 Podcast Awards. We had a great time and couldn't have done it without you, obviously. We're told that MC crushed its competition, and it logically follows, since we all voted for each other, that the same happened with PC. Yet another show of the Potter force. You all are really something. :)

Oakman's Quinton Harris was all over the field for the Wildcats on both sides of the ball.
Harris scored three touchdowns and also picked off a pair of passes as Oakman won its ninth straight game.
Next up for the Wildcats is a first-round playoff game next week against Goshen at Oakman's Hosea Collins Field. The Wildcats finished as region champions for the first time since 2003.
Early in the game, Berry was able to ride the momentum of the home crowd, where there was a packed house to watch these rivals separated by only 18 miles.
Oakman was forced to punt on their first two drives and then watched as Berry scored on a 71 yard touchdown strike from Maken Potter to Luke Stanford. Potter would then find Clancy Brown for the two point conversion and an 8-0 lead early in the first quarter.
Berry then unsuccessfully attempted an onsides kick, which gave Oakman a short field, starting just past midfield.
Four plays later Jase Trotter found Quinton Harris for a 29-yard touchdown. Harris then ran in the two point attempt to even the score at 8-8.
Harris wasn't finished.
On the next drive, with Berry driving deep into Oakman territory, Harris picked off Potter's pass and returned the ball to midfield. Berry's defense maintained the momentum by holding Oakman to a quick three and out to end the first quarter.
Oakman took its first lead just over three minutes into the second quarter behind a one yard quarterback sneak for the touchdown by Trotter to cap an eight play, 59-yard drive.
On the ensuing drive, Chris Austin intercepted a Potter pass to give Oakman the ball at the Berry 9-yard line.
Austin was rewarded on the very next play, taking the handoff on a sweep around the right end for the score. Oakman failed to convert the extra point try for the second time to hold just a 20-8 lead midway through the second quarter.
Oakman appeared to have seized the momentum, holding Berry to a quick three and out and then scoring again on the very next play from scrimmage. This time Trotter hit Harris for a 61-yard touchdown.
The half ended with Oakman up 26-8, but not before Harris intercepted another Potter pass with under a minute remaining.
Despite having thrown three first half interceptions, Berry did not shy away from the passing game in the second half. Taking the opening drive of the half from their own 40-yard line, Berry drove down field and set themselves up with a first and goal from the Oakman 6-yard line. The boys in blue would step up again when needed, holding Berry on four straight plays to force a turnover on downs.
On Berry's next drive, Reilly Williams was the lucky recipient of this Potter pass, retuning the interception just over 50 yards for a touchdown to take a 32-8 lead. Harris ran in the 2-point conversion to give Oakman the 22-point advantage with 4:11 left in the third quarter.
On the following drive, a Potter to Stanford pass for an 8 yard touchdown, followed by another Potter pass to Brown for the two point conversion, would cut the lead to 34-16 at the end of the third quarter.
Oakman would take only 1:11 to score in the fourth quarter. This time Harris would score on a running play from 16 yards away. The extra point was blocked by Berry to keep the score at 40-16.
Oakman would then allow some of their younger players to see some action, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
At the 7:05 mark in the fourth, Lindsey scored the last points of the regular season for Oakman by carrying the ball for a 51 yard score.
Berry scored twice more, on passes of 23 yards to Sanford and 12 yards to JC Finch for a final score of 47-32.
Berry was led by Potter, who passed for 259 yards and four touchdowns, completing 26 of 46 attempts but giving up five picks. Sanford had 12 receptions for 182 yards and two touchdowns for Berry.
Oakman was led by Harris' two interceptions, touchdown catches of 29 and 61 yards and a 16 yard touchdown run. Christopher Austin ran for 102 yards on 20 carries, while scoring one touchdown and intercepting a pass.
Trotter completed 6 of 12 passes for 122 yards and two scores. He also added 56 rushing yards with a touchdown.
On defense, John Coger added a late interception and Don Tyler Jackson had 10 tackles and a pass break up.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford who was in Bloomington Monday, voiced his support for Mitt Romney's new running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan.
As chairman of Romney's Illinois campaign, Rutherford praised the vice presidential candidate for his good energy and strength in controlled spending.
However, Rutherford had a different message for Governor Pat Quinn. The State Treasurer is calling on Quinn to be more transparent when it comes to prison conditions.
Last week, Quinn turned down media requests to get an inside look and earlier this year, Quinn announced the closing of two state prisons.
That move sparked backfire from opponents, saying shutting down lockups will increase violence there.
Rutherford says prison tours will help maintain good exposure.
"I don't think there's something to hide," said Rutherford, "but when you don't let the media in, then you question if there's something to hide. I just don't think this is the right way to go."
Rutherford says the Department of Corrections takes up $1.1 billion of Illinois' general revenue spending, or taxpayer dollars.
Quinn said last week that barring media and others from touring prisons will help keep them secure.

The heartless Shivans emerged through subspace near Earth, harboring technology light years ahead of anything seen before. They made no attempt to communicate. They did not respond to your heralds. They simply attacked and destroyed everything in their path.
As a pilot for the Galactic Terran Alliance (GTA) you are no stranger to war. But when racing through space to engage your new enemy for the first time, you sense something different. Suddenly, darkness blankets your craft. Your stomach sinks as your eyes pan across the Shivan flagship's massive body. Then it begins. Swarms of fighters pour from the belly of the flagship and scream towards you. You are about to discover everything you thought you knew about space combat just changed.

But this game really stands up todays space sims. The mission design in compelling, the story is really well told, and the way upgrades and new ships are handled make these additions feel really integrated into the game world.
Downsides? 640x480! Ack! Pro tip: Dig into the GOG.com folder and find the Freespace.exe launcher and turn off hardware rendering (my Nvidia card gave meread more a few graphical glitches, also, pull of the "Properties" view of FR.exe and turn on Win98 compatibility mode. The game plays a whole lot more naturally with these tweaks.

Freespace is only outdone by its sequel Freespace 2. If you want some incredible space sim action with an incredible storyline and some pretty amazing graphics that hold well even today. You can't go wrong with Freespace.
The missions are varied, there are plenty of ships and weapons to work with and the sense of scale is impressive. If you thought games like X2 or Tachyon hadread more scale, you can thank Freespace for pioneering it.
You'd be missing out on one of the best of all time if you didn't pick this one up.

Hadn't played any space shooters in quite awhile before picking this one up. Did manage to miss it on original release back in the day.
Excellent basic ingredients: good controls, HUD can be customised, nice ship & weapon designs. Missions are nice and variable, although sometimes events forced by scripting are somewhat annoying as they railroad the plot along no matterread more how you fly. The plot itself is engaging, although the generic wingmen lessen the immersion. It's pretty hard to care whether that faceless bunch of cannon fodder lives or dies... Campaign ends on a real high note as the final mission is pure gold.
On the downside, the graphics are a bit crude by modern standards, especially the capital ships up close. Hard to think of anything else.

LHJ Book Club: Q&A with Bitter in the Mouth Author, Monique Truong
August 13, 2011 at 5:08 pm , by Lauren Piro
I spoke with Monique Truong about her childhood experiences in the south, the themes of friendship, family and secret keeping in Bitter in the Mouth (the inaugural LHJ Book Club pick!), and how she ended up weaving an intricate story around a girl who tastes words.
The novel's protagonist, Linda Hammerick, feels like an outsider in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, a town you lived in as a child. How much of your own life mirrors Linda's? Is the story autobiographical?
I sometimes joke that if life gives you a little town called Boiling Springs and you're a writer, you'd be foolish not to write about it. There was a lot in my own experience that I thought was important for me to revisit as an adult, as a writer.
When my family came to Boiling Springs, it was the summer of 1975. I remember clearly going to school for the first time and realizing that something had happened—that my body had somehow transformed. I was born in Saigon and was growing up in Vietnam as a little girl, but the moment that I stepped into the elementary school in Boiling Springs, I was no longer just a little girl. All of a sudden there was a lot of interest in the color of my skin, the shape of my eyes, and the color of my hair. I felt like there was this disconnect between how I felt inside and the way I was being treated based on how people were seeing me.
So in creating Linda, I was trying to draw on the confusion that I had and tried to imagine a situation in which a character would feel disconnected from her own body and not understand what was going on—though not in exactly the same way as it happened to me.
I don't have synesthesia and I don't have the same sort of family background as Linda, though.
