LIVINGSTON: Adam Lucero era comes to end in Aztec, Matt Steinfeldt era just beginning
By John Livingston firstname.lastname@example.com

AZTEC — The beloved Tigers of Aztec went through a controversial coaching change and a horrific tragedy in 2012. Rather than sitting through a disaster, the 'Brotherhood' rose together once more to finish a remarkable season.
No. 2 Aztec wasn't able to repeat as 4A state champions, but finishing in the state semifinals with a 24-20 loss to undefeated and No. 2-ranked Los Lunas was surely something to celebrate after everything the team went through, including the death of a teammate and friend, Andrew Pope, just weeks before the first game of the season.
"It has been an interesting year. Our kids have done a great job over the course of the year understanding what life deals them," said Aztec head coach Matt Steinfeldt. "We have seen great adversity that our kids are better people for. I am very proud of the young men that have come through this program this year. We had some struggles, but we learned how to fight through those struggles, and we played pretty good football."
Fresh off of the school's first football state championship since 1953, former head coach Brad Hirsch walked away from the program. By the end of February, Steinfeldt was hired from Fort Lewis College in Durango.
Folks across Aztec quickly began asking questions about why Steinfeldt was hired.
After losing 50-28 in Week 1 to Los Lunas and 63-0 to No. 1 Goddard in Week 2, those with questions about Steinfeldt only got louder, and more began to have questions of their own.
But after scrapping to a District 1-4A title for the sixth consecutive season and winning in Artesia's Bulldog Bowl for the first time in school history — in the state quarterfinals no less — it was safe to say Steinfeldt had given an answer.
"This is a community that loves their football team. Everyone is extremely excited about winning games here," Steinfeldt said. "They have high expectations, and they should. As a coach, that is something you should always search for. You want those expectations yourself, and you want to meet those. I have enjoyed the experience."
Aztec senior quarterback Adam Lucero was the first to admit it was hard to adapt to a new coach after winning a title, but after eight months of work and a 14-week season, Lucero said he was proud to call Steinfeldt his coach.
"It is tough getting a new head coach, man. When you have a coach like Steinfeldt come in and totally change the face of the program, it made us better football players and better kids," Lucero said. "It took awhile for everyone to buy into his system but, when we did, we became a really dangerous team. I have to give it to coach. He deserves a state title after the pressure he endured, and he did very well."
One of the biggest footprints Steinfeldt left in his first season was the manner in which Aztec carried itself on the field. Personal foul penalties came few and far between, a stark contrast to the Hirsch era.
"He has done a lot of awesome things. Being the person he is, we have definitely changed as kids," Lucero said. "We have become more classy. We aren't as dirty. He changed things with a tremendous amount of pressure on him."
Though the team's losses early in the season strengthened the divide between Steinfeld supporters and detractors, the team continued to come together as they grieved the loss of Pope.
As wins finally amassed, confidence grew until Aztec and its faithful were back in state championship form last weekend.
After the defeat, the community embraced their heroes on the field, including Steinfeldt, who said he is happy he accepted the head coaching position.
"This season gave me a chance as an individual to overcome some adversity. I think there were a lot of people who questioned the way we were doing things early because of the wins and losses," Steinfeldt said. "I think those people within the program that spend a lot of time with us know what we are about and know we are working very hard, and that sometimes there will be bumps in the road, but we have a good plan to navigate that."
Steinfeldt heads into his first full offseason with Aztec with big goals in mind. Next season's group will return more starters with even more experience, and the boys will have a full year to become acquainted with the playbook.
But replacing Lucero, an all-state defensive back and state championship winning quarterback, won't be an easy task.
"I think everyone, including myself, needs to identify who our quarterback is going to be," Steinfeldt said. "We have Marcus Crawford in the program. He is a young guy without a lot of experience. Over the course of the summer, we need to make sure he, or whoever our guy is going to be next year, gets in some seven on seven's so they at least have that experience. Having a guy like Ryneal Lewis-Adams coming back is going to help us be a slightly different team as long as we can continue to run the football."
If Crawford is the one taking snaps next season, Lucero has full confidence he can carry on the tradition of great Aztec quarterbacks.
"I expect huge things from Crawford. He has worked his butt off day by day, and he is one of the hardest workers I know," Lucero said. "He fits the quarterback position, and he has a great family behind him. He will step it up and lead this team, and I have tremendous respect for him."
After the loss to Los Lunas on Saturday, Lucero was the last player to leave the turf at Fred Cook Memorial Stadium. Scattered among a few coaches, trainers and stadium workers, Lucero could be seen kneeling in prayer at midfield.
It was a gut-wrenching sight for any Aztec fan, and those who have had the pleasure of interacting with such a high-character athlete over the course of his high school career.
Brycson King was a superstar in Aztec, but Lucero became a legend for his Superman dive over the goal line that gave Aztec a state championship among all the countless miraculous comeback drives he led in three years as Aztec's quarterback.
It is safe to say, that legend will never die, and Lucero also knows football will never quite be the same as it was in the 'Brotherhood,' even if his Division I dream is realized.
Like all the other great Aztec football alumni, Lucero will have a close eye on the next generation of Tigers.
"I have no regrets. I have a lot of good memories in this program. A lot of mornings, I woke up and watched the sunrise with my teammates and, a lot of nights, I watched the sunset with my teammates on the field," Lucero said. "I wish we could've ended it with another ring but, hey, I got one. We ended the drought for Aztec, and I think it is over forever. There have been a lot of great memories, and I just want to thank the community and everyone who
has been involved.
"Aztec is going to keep playing. We never rebuild, we reload. It started off tough this year for us but we got there. Next year, you are going to see Lewis-Adams, Braden Goimarac and Riley Quigley lead this team, and they are going to go get a ring for themselves."

7 Minutes in Heaven: Kankuro X Reader'Alright I can do this. I can do this. I CAN do this...'You stood at the door to the old building hearing the noise from inside as everyone was talking while people were in the closet. You had to come late due to an errand but your friend had given you the slip of paper beforehand. When you had been with her earlier you had eaten a fortune cooking and it had said that your lucky number was number five so she had picked it for you. Now you stood in front of the door embarrassed to be showing up late and even worse if your number had already been called. Looking down at the number '5' you sighed and debated on going back when you remembered friend Temari's word look when she had handed you the numbered paper.'No I need to go in if only apologize if my number had already been called.'You heard a noise behind you to turn to see something's hand hitting you in the back of the neck before you blacked out.A pounding was happening in the back of your neck when something warm under you chec
That's Just Me Kankuro X Reader~~~~This is the best I could come up with. Sorry if Kankuro is OOC.Everything had changed. Gaara didn't kill everyone who crossed him, Temari stopped being so sadistic and appreciated life more and Kankuro was well…happier would be the right word. I was his best friend and yet I couldn't really tell. Some friend I am huh? But something hasn't changed though. The fact that I really really like him. I have no idea when it started only when I realized it that it was there. Romantic feelings, I mean. I am no one very special. I'm just a ninja. I have no keki-genkais or anything. All I do is be there when I'm needed. If anything I can read patterns of attack. Not very special mind you, but hey that's me. I use my speed mainly, to get an upper hand in battle. I'm an anbu by the way. So I guess that means something good right? People tell me I have "impeccable fighting skills" but I don't see it personally.
Because (Sabaku no Gaara x Reader) [2/2]After a few days, you began to feel better. You skipped out of your house and sprinted for the training grounds where you met Temari and Kankuro. You tackled the blonde woman from behind."Gah!""Temari-chaaaaaan!" you said, rubbing your cheek against hers."______, get off me!" she demanded. You pouted and got off her."You're no fun at all, Temari-chan.""You should know when's the right time to have fun or not!" Temari said, telling you off like a mother."Since when did you become my mum?" you asked teasingly. A tick mark appeared on Temari's head."______!" she yelled indignantly. You stuck your tongue out at her."______." You spun around and saw Gaara. The colour of light pink blanketed your cheeks and you looked away."Gaara. What's up?" Kankuro said. The redhead looked at all of you."We're going to find the akatsuki's hideout," he said."Isn't team Gai from Konoha doing that already?" you asked."Neji's not feeling well and they can't go without him. So I requested that we do
Because (Sabaku no Gaara x Reader) [1/2]You walked out of your house and felt the sun tickling your skin. You closed one eye and held a hand against your forehead."It's so warm today," you said. A gust of wind came and blew on your face, causing some sand to go into your eyes. You blinked a few times before rubbing your eyes in attempt to get the sand out. You began tearing up and sniffed. Some tears fell from your eyes and you blinked again, unaware of the presence behind you. A cold hand was pressed against your shoulder and you jumped. You craned your neck to look behind."Gaara!" you said."Why are you crying? Did someone hurt you?" the redhead asked. You sweatdropped."I just got sand in my eyes..." you answered awkwardly."Oh, I see. But if anyone does bother you, tell me okay?" he said, caressing your cheek. You blinked. Since when was Gaara this affectionate? Perhaps he's afraid that those group of bullies will come and hurt you again?"Hey Gaara!" The called one turned."Temari.""You ready to hit the road?" she as
The Calm Before The Storm Kiba X ReaderKiba looked up and growled at the female standing just a small space from him. _______ retorted with a growl favoring a jaguar. Sasuke against Naruto. Sakura and Ino. They all seemed to hold their breath waiting for the counter part to move when Sasuke shifted his gaze to _______. A snarl broke the silence and still as she lurched forwards on her feet and collided with Kiba. The sounds of battle quickly filled the clearing as the threw kunai or used jutsu on each other. _____ on the other hand had managed to get Kiba to give in to a more animalistic side. His teeth sank into her arm as she clawed at his skin. The tossing and tumbling duo didn't notice the other sounds of pain or grunting from their team mates. With a clever push she had shoved the man away and smirked before taking off."The hell? Come back here!" He yelled running after her.She stopped leaning over in the lake to wipe off her arm."Damn, this hurts." she growled looking where his canine's had bit into her skin,"Cour
Gaara x reader I watched as you trained. I couldn't help but envy and hate you all at the same time. Allthe kids loved you even their parents. While on the other hand they thought of me as amonster. Someone that wants to kill them all. But to tell you the truth all I want is a friend.A true friend that won't judge me of what was place inside of me but the real me. As i satin the tree watching I noticed that three other kids were coming towards you. I watchedas they came behind you and pushed you to the ground. I got mad. Why did they messwith you? You never did any thing to them. I jumped from the tree and walked towardsthem. I could hear them laughing and hiting you at the same time."Leave her alone!" I yelled. All four girls turned to me. "G-Gaara!" the three girls stammered. They started to back away. "If I ever catch you near her again you're all dead. Understand?" I askedthem. Before they left they

(Name) shouted at him and ran out of the room mumbling to herself climbing the stairs to her room."Really Hidan? (Name) already hates you, why do you have to escalate it hmm?" Your brother Deidara asked indignantly."Ugh, I don't know!" Hidan threw himself onto the couch and face palmed.He was currently staying at your house because he wanted to hang with Deidara and his other club members, who would be arriving shortly. (Name) didn't mind the others; in fact (Name) liked them, except for Hidan of course."She just gets to me. Well everything does, but with her! It's just…differ
Just say it! || Gaara x ReaderSometimes life was hard and unfair but sometimes it was like the sun was shining right out of your ass.Well today was rather the first kind.Sighing, you sat beside your boyfriend and pinched the bridge of your nose out of frustration, while he just gave you a flustered look.What was he doing wrong?You were so confusing from time to time!The turquoise eyed male lowered his gaze to the floor and scratched his cheek awkwardly, while you gave a simple huff and tried to collect yourself.Gaara was confused but his stoic face hid his emotions very well."Just say it."Turning his head towards you again, he titled his head slightly."Say what...?", he spoke in a rather uninterested voice as he threw his question into the room."Just say it", you said and crept closer, your eyes were never leaving his."What?""You know what I mean.""Not really."Sighing once more, you let your body fall backwards onto the fluffy mat
7 Minutes in Heaven: Sasori X ReaderYou glanced around the room nervous Sakura and Ino had dragged you to this event because they knew that they could ask you to trade with them if you happened to get a boy they found appealing. Looking down at your number you sighed. You had the number 12. Glancing around the room bored, more girls had come to this event then boys so many of the boys were going more than once. Many heart shaped eyes were directed in two places; one was the group of male Uchiha being Itachi, Sasuke, and Shusei, while the other eyes were directed to a group of men in red and black cloaks. You hade only gotten glimpses of the men in that group because the girls were in a giant group around them.Seeing a flash of red you tried to look closer, curiosity getting the better of you because red was a rare color. Finally giving up when the crowd was to dense to even see any of the red and black clothed men. Turning you noticed that a bunch of the Konoha boys were really depressed due to lack of attention.Sighin
Kankuro x Reader: Dance with meThe Hyuge family was throwing a birthday party for Hinata and everyone from the village you knew was there. You was dancing around with Hinata as your short (f/c) dress was swaying around while you danced with her. Hinata was laughing lightly as people watched the both of you smiling. "You having fun Hinata?" you stopped dancing and looked at her. She giggled lightly and nodded "Yeah I am, I can believe they throw this party for me..." You laughed and smiled at her "Well I would of done the same thing if they didn't throw it for you.""Awww that's so sweet (y/n)!" Hinata hugged you and jumped around in joy.You jumped around with Hinata and then saw Naruto walking around with Kiba. You smiled evil "I'm going to go get your birthday present from me now." Hinata tilted her head and looked behind to see Naruto. She blushed badly and looked back at you "W-what do you mean by that (y/n)?"You laughed and walked over to Naruto and Kiba "Hey guys!" Naruto smiled at you "Hey (y/n)! What's up?"

New Hampshire
4.38/5 rDev +21%
From the 22 fl. oz. bottle. Sampled on December 2, 2012.
It pours a cloudy, heady medium amber to orange. Way too much head but that might have been due to letting it warm up too much.
On the nose there is a pleasant earthy hoppiness that merges with the sweet caramel malts that are also upfront.
The body is medium and smooth.
Unlike the aroma, the taste is more caramel malt forward with a natural sweetness noted. The hops tend to mellow out and come up on the backside. The finish is slightly dry. I quite enjoyed this beer and being from New Hampshire I also like how they used local ingredients.

New Hampshire
3.2/5 rDev -11.6%
Pours a fairly clear deep amber color with a huge off white head that shows great retention but only spotty lace. Smells of sweet caramel malt with a grassy earthy hop aroma. There's a slight hit of licorice and a tinge of astringency in the nose as well. The flavor is sweet and malty like the nose promised. Grassy earthy hops try to provide some balance. There's a bit of astringency in the flavor as well. Medium body with a moderate to spirited level of carbonation and a sweet almost syrupy mouthfeel. Talking to the brewer I discovered this is a wet hop ale and it smells and tastes like green vegetative matter. Certainly not the greatest beer they have put out, but kudos for the experimentation.

As today is Labor Day, I thought we could take a look at a former American powerhouse of watch manufacture – the Elgin Watch Company.
(And before I go to0 far, credit needs to be given to ElginWatches and the large auction site for the info I was able to find.) Elgin started manufacturing pocket watches right after the Civil War ended, and their very first model was most definitely a working watch – it was certified for railroad use.

If you're like me, not everything on your to-do list or project list gets done. And yet, if you're like me, it's vital that certain projects do get done.
Of course, the difference in what gets done and what doesn't get done fundamentally relates to the choices we make in preparation and execution. But just what are those choices that make a difference?
Some years ago, I read six of the principles below in a book or article that quoted Gary McIntosh (I believe from his book The Exodus Principle) and then added one of my own to the list. I don't remember how each principle was described, but below is a description of how I've seen it work in my life and our ministry.
What preparation decisions can leaders make regarding what gets done? Here are seven. Obviously, not all seven of these principles relate to every project or need, but the more that can be applied, the better the chance something has of getting done. (more…)

Keane sees opportunity for a domestic IT services industry, in part, because of the changing nature of development. Increasing reliance on development methodologies such as agile has created a need for real-time decision-making and close collaboration. But that also means increasing the supply of domestic IT workers by encouraging college enrollments and training, he said.
Keane said U.S. policy on visas should be changed in a way that encourages students to study software, "as opposed to going down a path, in essence, of suggesting that the only way to solve our problem is to raise the cap and ship more work offshore."

First-Round Valuation Of Angel-Backed Companies: The Role Of Investor Human Capital
AbstractThis paper investigates how angel investors' human capital affects the valuation of their portfolio companies at initial investment, based on the pre-money valuation of 59 investments in young Belgian companies. We show that entrepreneurs are able to negotiate higher valuations with angel investors who have a business degree, more entrepreneurial experience or previous professional law experience. As such, this result is in contrast with the behavior of venture capital investors. Angel investors with financial experience, however, value their investments lower: their financial background leads them to stress the financial side of the deal more.

Pre-tax profit dropped 27% in the first half to $1.3 billion.
Jean-Paul Luksic, who was appointed in 2004, will now take a non-executive role with effect from Sep. 1st.
He sees it as a key part of the firm's ambitious investment strategy, which in the next stage will plow $25 billion to overhaul older mines.
Mines in Australia and Dominican Republic put on care and maintenance and Canadian operations' reserves depleted during first half of the year.
Japan already allocates 90% of its investment in Chile to mining.
This is the third project in the past four moths to be given the go-ahead after an initial unfavourable ruling.
Nelson Pizarro (73) will carry out the biggest investment plan in Codelco's history.
The143-kilometre seawater pipeline is operational
Toronto-based miner has already spent $5 billion on the Chile-Argentina project first launched in 2006.
Division encompasses the Spence and Cerro Colorado copper mines.
The company says its future depends on the Andina mine expansion, as dwindling ore grades in its old mines are expected to bring annual output down.
Improvements at the mine mill throughput and concentrator utilization offset declining ore grades at the world's largest copper mine.
The Toronto-based firm has shown president and CEO Jamie Sokalsky the door two years into the job, and less than three months after a breakdown in merger talks with its largest rival.
The news come only weeks after the government announced it would begin funding explorations projects to locate deposits of the coveted elements.
Currently China is the second largest producer of the red metal, with an annual output of about 1.6 million tonnes per year.
The copper miner controlled by Chile's billionaire Luksic family, will cut jobs and costs through its new company Minera Centinela.
The company, already the world's largest copper miner, wants to become one of the top silver producers too.
The appeal follows a confusing ruling in March this year that revoked the penalty, the largest ever imposed in the country, only to force the country's environmental watchdog to rewrite it.
Sale of Candelaria mine could raise several billion dollars, according to people familiar with the matter quoted by WSJ.com.
Compare the depth that the Chilean miners were trapped with the Marianas Trench.
Pressure to put more dollars into popular social programs.
The firm is offloading some of its historic South African platinum mines as part of a $4bn sale of under-performing assets.
The country is also struggling with rising energy cost, which threatens the competitiveness of its copper industry and poses a major challenge for new developments.
Community mobilization effective at raising costs to companies.
Minera Centinela will focus on an emerging mining district in copper-rich Chile's north.
Octavio Araneda, VP of the company's central-south operations, will serve as interim CEO until a new leader is picked.

Clint FIRES UP at NSW Pro Burnouts
It was great to see Clint Ogilvie back on the burnout track after such a
long break. There's no blower on the Torana now, Clint has elected to go
for naturally aspirated power with the 330 cube Holden pumping out nearly
600hp with big revs.
Unfortunately he had to cut his burnout short at Dubbo with this not so
small fire but it couldn't have been too serious because he drove it off
the pad afterwards.
CUTSIK Comes Third at Dubbo
Craig Whiddett is having a pretty good year. He came 5th at Summernats,
second at Kandos and third at the NSW Pro Burnouts in Dubbo. It's not a bad
thing either with an EFI 6-litre with a factory alloy block under all that
polished metal.
EVILXA - Revamped and Smokin' Hot
EVILXA was looking a bit sad after hitting a barrier at Summernats and a
few burnout fires (we show fire footage from Gazzanats), so Peter Grmusa
has given the XA Ute a birthday and covered it in a mix of PPG Vibrance
(Key Lime green & white by Auto Passion) and vinyl wrap (by Bling Designs).
He invited us out to watch his debut burnout at a small gathering at an
undisclosed location. As you can see he's got plenty of grunt thanks to the
Powerhouse-built 530ci big block, but still manages to control it
beautifully in the tight confines of the space provided.
UNLOAD Flames Up Again at NSW Pro Burnouts
When you see just how nice Steve Loaders UNLOAD is then it's hard to
believe he actually does burnouts with it. But not only does he do
burnouts, he also seems to set it alight pretty regularly. I think the
score is three out of four so far.
AGROVB Forgets to Tighten Something
Alan Shuttleworth was lucky to spot this fuel leak on his supercharged
Commodore. If it had caught fire it would have been a disaster.
EVILXA Finishes Second at Dubbo
NSW Pro Burnouts saw a reverse of the finishing order at Summernats with
Peter Grmusa finishing second behind Matt Power. Big blocks seem to be
taking all the wins these days.
T4TUFF Burns The Guardrails at Kandos
With rain closing in the Kandos organisers decided to go with Saturday's
qualifying results, which left entrants to have some fun on Sunday.
Matt Power went nuts with his Holden One-Tonner and gave the fans a huge
fire show that rivalled KRANKY's fire from last year.
WONAGO Tries For The Perfect Flame Job
Justen Brown was also a busy man at Motorvation with two cars in the
burnouts. One in the Open class, and one in the Blown class. This was his
Blown class entry WONAGO which scored third place in the finals after this
massive fireball.
And yes I did run away like a little girl every time he pointed the back
end at me. :)
NSW PRO BURNOUTS - February 2nd 2013
NSW PRO BURNOUTS. Make sure you don't miss the biggest burnout comp in NSW
with over $25,000 up for grabs. It's happening at Morris Park Speedway in
Dubbo on February 2nd 2013. Check it out on Facebook.
T4TUFF Wins NSW Pro Burnouts
How would you like to score $10,000 for a burnout? That's what Matt Power
did at Dubbo for the NSW Pro Burnouts when he took on the best from NSW,
VIC and QLD. The low and mean Holden tonner needed alot of work after it's
fire last weekend at Kandos but Matt hooked in and got it sorted and
without a doubt the blown 540 big block was the loudest engine on the day.
Peter Grmusa reckons that Powerhouse Engines are the reason why he's had
such a good year on the burnout pad. The engine has been ultra-reliable and
trouble free which frees Peter up to concentrate on driving. And drive it
he did.
Peter smoked out a quality field of entrants to take the Liqui Moly
National Burnout Masters Trophy for 2013 and take home the $15,000 cheque.
With the rest of his wins this year he's up around the $40K mark in terms
of winnings. Well done Peter.

To understand fashion, you don't have to wear it. Sometimes you just need to see it: the shape, the flow, the telling details. All of that contributes to making a fashion statement.
Sure, in an ideal world, you would get to touch it, zip it, wear it. But that is not always possible: access to some of the greatest fashion designs, particularly vintage items, is limited. And then, so are our wallets.
So the next best thing is a book, dedicated to conveying the fashion experience through photos and text. There are many beauties out there currently and they would make great holiday presents. Or treat yourself. Curl up some snowy evening with some classic clothes. These books are guaranteed to fit all.
Chloe: Attitudes, by Sarah Mower and Gaby Aghion [Rizzoli, $54].
It was Gaby Aghion's attitude in the Paris of the late 1950's that seemed so fresh and new. In a rebellion against Dior's New Look, Aghion borrowed the name of a friend and started her own line. She embraced clean lines and a youthful approach in her designs; the women she was designing for were Left Bank beauties with long, tousled hair and smoky eye makeup. Perhaps that is why Chloe designs, even those of five decades ago, still seem so embraceably now. Karl Lagerfeld started there; so did Stella McCarthy. On a recent Bravo TV episode, one of the Million Dollar Shoppers exclaimed in a vintage clothing store, "You can never turn away from a great Chloe dress." This book shows you why.
Lee Miller in Fashion, by Becky E. Conekin [Monacelli Press, $29].
An amazing woman of the 20th century world, Lee Miller is shockingly little known today. She started as a behind-the-scenes stylist at fashion magazines. In 1927, Conde Nast declared her the epitome of the modern woman and her modeling career was born. Miller then moved behind the camera, becoming a fashion photographer; in Europe, she became a Surrealist and Man Ray's lover. She is best known for her journalistic photographs of the effects of World War II.
But her stylist eye was incredible and this book, which concentrates on her fashion work, reveals many of her heretofore-unseen images. She helped shape decades of style and these hidden treasures are well worth viewing.
The Killer Detail: Defining Moments in Fashion, by Francois Armanet & Elizabeth Quin [Flammarion, $30]
It's that one little thing—it may be quirky or almost invisible, totally of the times or presciently ahead. But it makes a statement. Think Michelle Obama's brooches or Cary Grant's impeccable tailoring, Jimi Hendrix's military jackets or Bardot's love of Capri pants and ballet flats. With an introduction by designer Azzedine Alaia, this book serves up over 120 images of perfect details that slay the viewer.
Vintage Fashion & Couture from Poiret to McQueen, by Kerry Taylor [Firefly Books, $40].
A vintage fashion expert at Sotheby's in London, Taylor has depth of field to match her impeccable eye. This is a sweeping book that covers Mainbocher and Vionnet to Mary Quant and Comme des Garcons. It gives the reader something that fashion alone doesn't: perspective.
Jean Patou: A Fashionable Life, by Emmanuelle Polle [Flammarion, $60]
Today his name may be most recognizable as the one on the bottle of Joy perfum, but Patou was a masterful designer in the 1920's and 1930's, one of the main dispensers of glamour in a very glamorous era. His chief rival was Coco Chanel. This monograph includes previously unpublished hand-tinted sketches, photographs, and family history. Patou's life was short, but his influence lives on with breathtaking freshness.
Christian Louboutin, by Christian Louboutin [Rizzoli, $150].
A fantastically fun coffee table that is a work of art itself, with five-piece foldout binding and a pop-up. Louboutin showcases his divine red-soled shoes, over 300 pairs of them, in what amounts to the ultimate wish book.
Elie Saab, by Janie Samet [Assouline $250].
Another dreamy coffee table book that showcases Saab's fairy tale lush design. His dresses are impeccably detailed and layered, as these photographs show. No one does complex romanticism with more sophistication.

Ice cream was once a sign of wealth and privilege by those who could afford ice houses at sumptuous Victorian feasts. The advent of home freezers now makes the art accessible to all—and no less irresistible.
This vanilla bean ice cream recipe is made with a custard base, which can be adapted and flavored with fruit purees, chocolate, or coffee. (See variations below.)–Alison Walker
LC Pure as the Driven Vanilla, Er, Snow Note
Sometimes you don't need a lot of bling. Sometimes it's nice to just let your spoon sink into something that tastes pure as the driven snow. Okay, vanilla-enhanced snow. Indulgently rich, creamy, sigh-inducing, vanilla-enhanced snow. This vanilla bean ice cream recipe is for those times. Of course, if you wish to stir in whatever at the end–some crushed black raspberries still warm from the garden, a package of chopped peanut butter cups, a swirl of fig preserves, a handful of chopped nougat–we're not going to stop you. Not even going to try.
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes 1 1/2 pints
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 2/3 cup superfine sugar (or just blitz granulated sugar in a blender or food processor until finely ground but not powdery)
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1. Split the bean lengthwise and use the tip of a sharp knife to scrape out the seeds. Place the vanilla bean and seeds in a saucepan along with the milk. Place over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat and let infuse for 30 minutes.
- 2. Mix the egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl. Remove and discard the vanilla bean from the infused milk. Gradually blend the infused milk into the yolk mixture, using a wooden spoon or a whisk, then set aside while you wash and dry the saucepan you used to infuse the milk.
- 3. Return the milk mixture to the clean saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard has thickened sufficiently to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Do not allow the mixture to boil or it will curdle.
- 4. Strain the mixture into a bowl and let it cool slightly. Cover with plastic wrap, gently pressing the wrap directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a film from forming, then refrigerate until chilled through, maybe 4 to 6 hours if you're impatient or, preferably, 24 hours if you're the sort who can tolerate a little anticipation. (Here's the thing. The longer the custard stands in the refrigerator, the more flavor will develop.)
- 5. Stir the cream into the custard.
If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's directions.
If using your own devices, transfer the mixture into a shallow freezer-proof container, such as a roasting pan, and freeze until ice crystals form at the edges, about 2 hours. Turn it into a bowl and beat with a hand-held electric mixer or a whisk. Pour the mixture back into the container and return to the freezer. Repeat every 2 hours until the ice cream is completely frozen.
Just a handful of the infinite number of variations you can conjure…
- Honey Ice Cream: Stir in 2 tablespoons honey when you add the cream.
- Nutmeg Ice Cream: Stir in 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg when you add the cream.

Vanilla bean is my favorite ice cream flavor. This version is pretty great. I'm a big texture person and I love the rich creamy base and the crunch of the seeds from the vanilla bean. I can see making the custard in the morning (or even the night before) and mixing in the cream and churning when we're ready for dinner, I mean dessert. The ice cream doesn't need to be hardened–it's perfect to eat just out of the ice cream maker. However, I might decrease the sugar just a bit and add a pinch of salt. It's a bit on the sweet side for me.

I LOVE ice cream. I'm not one of those fair-weather ice cream eaters, who only indulges in a cone when it's a perfect, say, 80-degree day on the boardwalk. I am a harsh critic, and, to be honest, vanilla doesn't usually jazz me too much. I'm much more a chocolate gal. But this rich, creamy, easy-to-make ice cream is fantastic. It's no more labor intensive than any other ice cream, and tastes just fine without superfine sugar (I didn't even blitz my granulated sugar in the blender and the ice cream came out fine). It takes about five hours to be completely chilled. I will say, as is the case with most homemade ice creams, that its best the day you make it. This isn't uncommon, though.

Not sure what to say about this other than that it's rich and perfectly delicious. I've found my go-to vanilla ice cream! The only thing I would change next time is to maybe add a little vanilla extract to the milk mixture to intensify the vanilla flavor. Also, I infused the mixture in the fridge for 24 hours.
When the first words you hear out of your family members' mouths are "OH MY," you know it must be great! I was leery of this recipe because it did not call for any vanilla extract, and I wondered if the vanilla bean would be enough flavor. But I had just received an order from Spice Barn and they sent me a free bag of Madagascar vanilla beans, which were more plump and tender than ones I have bought at the store, so I was excited to try this. I loved all the dark flecks of vanilla in the custard-like ice cream, but barely got to taste it myself as it was consumed so quickly. I did change one thing. In a hurry to try the ice cream I completed the first three steps, then instead of putting the mixture into the refrigerator I put it in the freezer for about one hour, making sure several times it was just cooling and not starting to freeze. I then moved it to the refrigerator for an hour before adding the cream and putting the cooled mixture into the ice cream maker. The only thing that made this recipe better was when my husband put some on top of a warm Krispy Kreme donut–the perfect storm of warm/cold, creamy and not too sweet/gooey and very sweet….wow.
Had to make a follow up comment about this ice cream recipe. I have made it 2 more times since my original testing, the second time I quadrupled the recipe. I got in a rush and did not strain the ice cream, then I realized my tiny ice cream maker will only make 1 recipe at a time so some of the mix sat in the refrigerator 2 days. Still turned out perfect! Everyone agreed it is the best vanilla ice cream they have ever tried! Thank you for another great recipe!!

This was a rich, creamy, vanilla-y cold delight! I didn't strain the mixture as it was very smooth and I like vanilla beans in ice cream. I chilled it overnight and the next day used an ice cream maker, and it did a beautiful job. I would definitely make this again.
Robert McCune

I always seem to try variations of chocolate, fruit and exotic flavors of ice cream, but for some reason I rarely make vanilla. Past experiences have only been so-so, because I was either trying to cut down on fat or sugar or I was using vanilla extract instead of the bean. This is a case of "less is more." There are only five ingredients, but good quality, high fat ones. This is truly ice CREAM, not some watered down substitute! This is rich enough that you don't feel that you need an extra bowl to be satisfied. Put this together early in the day, chill and put it in the ice cream maker before dinner and voila, dessert awaits! I will try this as a base for other ice cream flavors this summer.

Pretty darn good. In a future life, I want to return as a vanilla bean. The ice cream really benefits from the step of steeping the milk and vanilla bean. Skipping this 30-minute part would be a bad idea. Once put into the refrigerator, the mixture cooled in three hours. I also used an ice cream machine and put the ice cream in the freezer to finish hardening, probably another hour. Really simple and delicious. Nothing "fake" about the vanilla flavor.
Julie Dreyfoos
May 25, 2012
Simple ingredients, big flavor. This vanilla ice cream is a breeze to make and the texture is very smooth and creamy. The addition of heavy cream at the end allows the custard to really absorb the flavor of the vanilla but does not overpower the custard. This recipe is a good base for endless possibiities.
Larry Noak
May 25, 2012
This is my favorite ice cream. It's as good as, and usually far better than, any ice cream that you can get commercially. Anyone with a stove and a freezer can make this. No heavy machinery, no salt, no ice, etc. I use this for every occasion, and I even make ice cream sandwiches with it. I also substitute a cup of French roast coffee beans for the vanilla bean and make one of the finest coffee ice creams ever. As always, make a double batch; you won't be sorry.

I just started the custard for this recipe, which I've made many times, and realized I've never left a comment on it. We love ice cream and this recipe is tops. My husband now refuses to eat any store-bought variety.This recipe is simple and straightforward and the taste is positively decadent. The hardest part about it is keeping little (and big) fingers out of the custard while it's chilling! I did receive one complaint, though. "Why didn't you make that amazing Classic Apple Pie to go with it?!" Men!
At a recent appointment to the oral surgeon's office we found out both my sons need to have their wisdom teeth out. The doctor, a good friend, was going through the standard talk and mentioned using a straw and eating only soft foods when one of my sons said "YES! Mom, will you make the Vanilla Bean Ice Cream?" I agreed it was the perfect thing to take their mind off any pain. Later that night the doctor's wife called to request the recipe. This ice cream is so good, my teenage sons are no longer dreading surgery!

Dave Simpson, an analyst at 451 Research, said Symform stands out from other online cloud storage providers because of its value proposition. "This is an intriguing value proposition that could bring costs even lower while providing higher performance and security via a cloud network where data is distributed globally," he said. "And Symform's growth figures prove that end users and channel resellers are receptive to the concept."
Symform's software backs up any new or changed files to its peer-to-peer cloud. The storage capacity is distributed across the Internet from users in 150 countries.
When Symform accesses local capacity from a PC for its universal storage pool, its software takes blocks of up to 64MB in size and breaks them into 96 fragments. It then uses either a RAID 5 or RAID 6 parity, depending on the service plan, to protect that data in those fragments. The company uses AES 256-bit encryption to secure the storage capacity it uses.
Symform requires users to download with it calls "light backup software" that establishes its data backup service on an array, server, desktop or laptop computer. The backup application also allows users to designate drive capacity in the form of a folder for Symform's universal cloud pool. As a customer increases their use of Symform's cloud capacity, they can in turn increase the size of the folder designated for Symform's cloud pool by using a sliding bar icon.
"That helps us build excess capacity in our storage network and we can then monetize that through other users who may not contribute storage capacity but instead pay for it," said Praerit Garg is President and Co-Founder of Symform. "It allows us to create a storage marketplace, if you will, to monetize that."
Garg makes the pitch that it's far cheaper for someone to buy a 2TB hard drive for about $80 and then share that capacity with the pool than to pay to backup 2TB through a service. For example, MozyPro charges $379.99 a month to back up 1TB of capacity. "At the end of the day, backup just turns out to be a risk/cost analysis. The other choice is to buy your own backup drive," Garg said.

Game 30 (Warriors 103, Celtics 99): In Their Own WordsFiled under: In Their Own Words; Tagged as: Don Nelson
So the force was with us. . . . Let me put in a word for Monta, how well he's playing and would like to somehow get him considered to be an All-Star this year. He's playing as well as anybody in basketball right now and carrying a team every night, very difficult to do, and also has to guard tough opponents. So anyway, just a word there, if you would, please?
It was a wonderful game for us. Wins are hard to find anyway, especially against two quality teams in a row. I think we were blessed that the Celtics were on a back-to-back, but I know they were mad coming in because they lost a game at the buzzer. So we were ready for bear and they gave us everything they had.
C.J. was as responsible as anybody for the win. I think everybody made a great contribution, but when he came in, and then we changed our coverage on Ray Allen, and he played that beautifully.
And then, the first time I ever saw Morrow turn down a 3. Perfect pass, perfect timing, at 5 seconds to go on the 24-second clock. You know, it's 'What is he thinking? Does he think he's in there for defensive purposes?' That's a game-winner there; I just couldn't believe he (passed it). But anyway, another young player — I don't think he'll do it again. And he relishes that opportunity. I don't know if he didn't know the clock, or what. It doesn't get any better than that extra pass to Morrow in the corner for us, but somehow we hung on, and we'll just take the win.
Q: A lot of coaches wouldn't foul up 3 with 5 second left, as you did. Can you talk about that decision?
DN: I've never been beat doing it. I've been tied once or twice, where they somehow got the ball back. Now, they've got it back and got a good look at a 3 and missed, but I can't remember ever losing a game by doing that. My rule is 5 seconds or less on the clock. And the funniest things happen when you do that. Sometimes they miss the first one. Sometimes they don't hit iron on the second one, which happened tonight. Sometimes they make the second one (while) trying to miss it. I mean, the craziest things have happened. And then you just have to take your chances on getting that rebound. We have the inside (position), the opportunity to put your better rebounders in the game and make that difficult for them.
Q: What did you think of C.J.'s second quarter?
DN: Well, I think the coaches came up with a good tactic; we were locking and trailing on him, and then we went over the top, and that's where he got some of his steals. We thought that Allen would get open in the corner, but because we were playing the passing lane, I don't believe he ever really did get open for that corner shot.
And then, they run so many good things, and set such great screens. What a job it is to chase Allen around with the screen-setting that the Celtics do. They're really a very, very fine team, and we were very fortunate to win tonight.
Q: What did you notice from Ronny and Andris?
DN: Well, Ronny has made an impact in two games, and Goose has not yet. I don't expect he will, much. His timing is not there, game conditioning, a whole bunch of stuff. But Ronny is still able to do what he does, and know that maybe his shot isn't there right now, but he doesn't shoot much anyway, so he just moves it for us and gets his dunks and blocked shots and is a factor in there.

An IPO based on projections of AdSense revenue isn't in the future for the average eBusiness. Think of Google AdSense as supplemental income. Building a business solely on AdSense revenue isn't just silly — it's just plain stupid.
