|Lady Bulldogs' rally falls short

BATH TWP. — Columbus Grove kept battling Tuesday evening during their Division III softball district semifinal against Fairview.
In the end, those early-game jitters were a little too much to overcome for the Bulldogs.
Fairview took advantage of four Bulldog errors in the first two innings before holding off a late Columbus Grove rally for a 6-4 win.
The win sends the Apaches (21-2) to the district finals Friday at 5 p.m. against today's Ottawa-Glandorf/Parkway winner. The Bulldogs saw their season end at 15-8.
"We told the girls we could hang with this team," Columbus Grove coach Travis Gallmeier said. "As the game went on, we started to do the things we came in here wanting to do. I don't know if it was nerves at the beginning or what but we started to field the ball and play well behind Hope (Schroeder) as the game went on. Overall, I felt like we came in here and gave it a shot."
Columbus Grove got off to a good start taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning.
Fairview starter Kolleen Boland retired the first two batters she faced before Schroeder dropped a double down the left-field line that fell in behind the Apache leftfielder as she battled the wind to catch the ball. Katie Roose followed with a ground ball to shortstop and when the throw to first base was wild, it allowed Schroeder to score and Roose to take second base. Another ground ball to shortstop ended the inning.
The Apaches came right back with three runs in the bottom of the inning as Kelsey Beck lined a single to left. Meagan Johns laid down a sacrifice bunt and when the throw to first base eluded the Bulldog fielder, the ball rolled along the fence, allowing Beck to score from first base and Johns to reach second base. Mallory Polter followed with a single to center that would have had put runners at the corners; the throw back to the infield got away from the Bulldogs, allowing Johns to score and Polter raced all the way to third base. After a popup to the pitcher for the first out, a groundout by Ali Hug had the Apaches up 3-1.
Fairview added three 2-out runs to their lead in the second inning.
Katie Robinson opened the inning with a single to left, moved to second base on a sacrifice bunt and took third on a passed ball. After a popup to the pitcher for the second out, Beck followed with a fly ball to right field that Brooke Hoffman started back on, then had to run in on. Hoffman had the ball in her glove before it popped out as she fell to the ground, allowing Robinson to score and Beck reach second base. Johns reached on an error, then stole second base before Polter lined a single to center to score two runs. making it a 6-1 game.
"We didn't start out defensively the way we wanted with an error to give them a run but hitting-wise, we didn't let that affect us," Fairview coach Staci Renollet said. "We were attacking the ball, using our speed and getting some bunts down, things we have been doing all year to get the offense going."
The third inning was key to the Bulldogs staying in the game as Fairview loaded the bases on singles by Christina Gerbers and Boland around a Grove error that allowed Robinson to reach. Schroeder worked out the jam without allowing a run getting two strikeouts and a fly ball to center to keep it a 6-1 game.
"That was a big point in the game," Gallmeier said. "We were down 6-1 and they have the bases loaded and the top of their lineup coming up and we get out of it. If they score there, we may start to hang our heads, but we get out of it and it gave us some momentum that carried us through the rest of the game."
Columbus Grove had a chance to get back into the game in the top of the fourth as they loaded the bases with one out.
Roose opened the inning a single to center before a fly ball to right field for an out. Monica Delgado and Hoffman followed with singles that loaded the bases. The Bulldogs were unable to score as Mackenzie Wurth's groundball to third forced a runner at home plate and a ground ball to shortstop ended the threat.
Both pitchers then settled in as neither team could muster a scoring threat until the top of the seventh when Columbus Grove made a run at the Apaches.
Down to their final three outs, the Bulldogs attempted to pull off another magical comeback as Wurth lined a double to center field and moved to third on a groundout. Kyrah Yinger followed with a walk before Deanna Kleman hit a grounder back to the pitcher. Kleman was out at first base but Wurth raced home with the Bulldogs' second run. Schroeder made it a 6-4 game with a long home run over the left-field fence.
Roose walked and Micah Stechschulte followed with a single before a ground ball to third base ended the game.
"In the seventh, we started hitting the ball well and when you do that, you never know what's going to happen," Gallmeier concluded. "Hope hit one that I thought was going to land on the road. We've been doing this all year. In our two tournament games before this one, we went nine innings with Bluffton and eight with Allen East. We always said we don't ever want to quit and when we got out of that (third-inning) jam, we had some momentum; we just couldn't get a hit. We hit the ball hard but everything was right at them."
Schroeder took the loss as she allowed six runs on eight hits with three strikeouts and no walks. Schroeder had two hits for the Bulldogs. Six other players all had one hit for Grove.
Boland allowed four runs on seven hits with just one strikeout and four walks. Polter and Robinson both had two hits for Fairview.

Oak Park-River Forest wrestling's Fab Five freshman class (from left): Allen Stallings, Roberto Campos, Gabe Townsell, Isaiah White and Kamal Bey. | George M. Wilcox~Sun-Times Media
Any high school wrestling program that brings in five talented freshmen is bound to hear from critics.
In the case of Oak Park-River Forest's freshman class, fickle fans took to the internet in a series of postings wondering how the Class 3A state runner-up could attract five of the Chicago area's top young wrestlers to its program. The posts were placed on the forum at illinoismatmen.com, the eight-year-old Peoria-based website that provides comprehensive coverage of the state wrestling scene from the youth level to colleges.
The posts were eventually removed by the website. Owner Mike Bare said that he and two other staff members try their best to monitor the forum.
"We saw some things that were not in good taste," Bare said. "We are about having a good wrestling discussion."
OPRF coach Mike Powell saw the posts and did not like what he read.
"I don't like people making accusations that are completely unfounded," Powell said. "People were writing things about 14 year olds that should not be written."
Bare told Pioneer Press that at no time was he ever contacted by an OPRF coach or official about taking down the posts.
Though OPRF coach Mike Powell steers away from using the word "controversial" about the matter, there is little doubt the five freshmen, or Fab Five as they have been called by teammates, have helped make an impact for the Huskies, which lost 30-24 to Sandburg in last year's state dual team final.
OPRF beat previously No. 1-ranked Sandburg 286.5-278 to win Hinsdale Central's Whitlatch Invitational Dec. 15. The top two teams in the state are in opposite brackets for the Clash XI, a national high school dual meet Dec. 28-29 in Rochester, Minn. The Huskies open the tournament at 4 p.m. against Rochester Mayo. The only other Illinois teams in the tournament include Marist and Class 2A power Montini. The 24-team tournament includes schools from as far away as California, Washington State and South Dakota to New Jersey, Florida and Georgia.
The Huskies won at Whitlatch behind champions Matt Rundell (120 pounds), Larry Early (132), Johnny Gahagan (145), Davonte Mahomes (160) and Joe Airola (182). But each member of the Fab Five reached the championship semifinals to place, led by runner-up Isaiah White (14-1), who lost to Harlem's Jordan Northrup 8-0 in the 126 final.
The other freshmen finishers were Kamal Bey (third, 8-1 at 152), Bobby Campos (fourth, 13-3 at 106), Gabe Townsell (fourth, 14-3 at 113) and Allen Stallings (sixth, 9-7 at 170).
All five freshmen moved into Oak Park in the last few years to seek out the coaching expertise of Powell, an OPRF grad who won the 1994 Class AA state title at 171. Powell was the high school coach for Greco-Roman Olympian Ellis Coleman, who made national news by performing the Flying Squirrel move in an international meet.
Powell gained his own fame in the spring with a number of appearances to publicize his bout with polymositis, a chronic muscular disease. Powell appeared in Sports Illustrated, was profiled by ESPN's E:60 and even threw out the first pitch at a White Sox game in June.
Powell has wanted to build the profile of OPRF wrestling into a program others would wish to copy. He provides study tables for his wrestlers, monitors their grades and has helped send at least three of his previous state champions into major Division I programs.
He also led the Huskies to their first state title in 2009.
"There is an intensity in the room at practices," White said.
"Practices are even more tougher," Townsell said. "When you come from practices, you are even better prepared in meets. He's made a huge difference in our mindset."
"He's not afraid of telling us what we do wrong," Bey said of Powell. "He is not afraid to tell us that we are not working hard. He tells us to turn it up."
"I've improved a lot under coach Powell," Campos said. "I want to get better as we go on. I want to improve more."
The freshmen come from different clubs and different areas of Chicagoland. Their previous hometowns were Maywood (Stallings), Bolingbrook (Campos), Chicago's west side (Townsell), Romeoville (White) and Naperville (Bey). Townsell and Stallings wrestled for the Gladiators in Maywood, White and Bey were with the Harvey Twisters and Campos belonged to his hometown Junior Raiders.
Powell has known Townsell since he was little boy. Townsell is the son of former OPRF volunteer coach Richard "Doc" Townsell, whom Powell credits with helping him win his state title. Stallings has worked out with OPRF's Little Huskies youth program since age 10 and White has practiced at OPRF for the last four years when he was not competing for the Twisters.
At the state championship in March, White became only the third five-time state champion in Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation history.
As of Dec. 20, three of the freshmen were ranked by illinoismatmen.com in their weight class: White (fifth), Townsell (seventh) and Bey (12th).
"With our freshmen and sophomore class, I want them to have the right foundation as they grow older," Powell said. "I want them to have the right GPAs and go to the right school."
Oak Park-River Forest athletic director John Stelzer said there are full-time staff within the district that regularly investigate residency issues. The district is used to dealing with the issue since it shares a border with the Chicago Public Schools.
Stelzer said he did not get to see the posts about OPRF's freshmen wrestlers at illinoismatmen.com.
"I prefer not to comment on anything whatsoever," Stelzer said. "I feel we run a program with high integrity. Our district office rules and approves all residency (matters) whether they are athletes or non-athletes."

Has Anancy really affected us?
Dear Editor,
I write concerning the letter, "Tear down the spirit of 'Anancyism'" by Dionne Dennis, published on July 24, 2012. First, I would like to present this quote by John Henrik Clarke. "They laughed at your clothes and made you change your clothes; they laughed at your names and made you change your names, but most important they laughed at your God, and made you change your God."
Miss Dennis ends her letter by juxtaposing Anancy and the Christian God, "Tear down this prince of demons over Jamaica called 'Anancyism'... reduce this demonic spirit back to the story books of African folklore and rid ourselves of its deadly poison and webs... use your God-given authority to take back Jamaica for God. As a descendant of Africa, I am hurt to hear this inverted racism, schizophrenic disdain for ourselves, our history and ancestry continues.
I would like to know how Anancy has so adversely affected this nation. The most churches per square mile cannot abate the tide of crime, decadence and moral corruption. The Bible says, Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything (Colossians 3:22) ; Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, (Ephesians 6:5); "You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword,"(Zephaniah 2:12-15).
Might I also quote Sizzla Kalonji who said..."I have no white god, don't teach me anything wrong, could a white god save us from white oppression?"
I wish only to speak the truth. I hope no Christian is offended. As Africans, we come from a race of people and a land older than the Bible can account for. The Bible documents 6000 years of Jewish mytho-history, while academics like Ivan Van Sertima have shown extensively that black civilisation was already advanced 13,000 years ago, with people like the Olmecs. So how can I as a descendant of a race of people who mastered earth long before Jesus or the notion of Judaism or even Christianity, submit to a weaker legacy, to children and ideas that in terms of history came yesterday?
Ms Dennis insists on associating Anancy with ginnalship or deceit and conmanship. Are Jamaicans aware that Anancy and the spider are linked throughout legend with women, weaving and the metaphorical web, tapestry or fabric of life? The spider was associated with joy, pleasure, good fortune and happiness in many ancient cultures.The spider has symbolised patience due to its hunting technique of setting webs and waiting for prey. They have been attributed by numerous cultures with the origin of basket-weaving, knotwork, weaving, spinning and net making. Webspinning also led to the association of the spider with creation myths as they seem to have the ability to excrete their own artistic worlds.
So what has Anancy really done to us? And did the Christian God save us from slavery as we were given the Bible as our lands in Africa were taken, as we were whipped and chained? And I wonder, was it Anancy's imagination, spirit and inspiration that led us to out-think and outmanoeuvre our slave masters, and the Christian colonial British soldiers armed with muskets in hand and Bible in pocket, and God on their side?

"J.K. Rowling didn't need the Dark Arts to make the paparazzi go poof", writes Gina Serpe at Yahoo! TV.
We have previously posted on the J.K. Rowling copyright infringement case, taking the opposing side, so it is only fair that we post about this litigated privacy case which Rowling (using her real name Joanne Murray) has now won in the United Kingdom, rightly so in our opinion.
The ruling in the case (David Murray (by his litigation friends Neil Murray and Joanne Murray) v Big Pictures (UK) Ltd [2008] EWCA Civ 446) by the England and Wales Court of Appeal (Civil Division) involves an interpretation of the concept of the reasonable expectation of privacy of children according to Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which provides:
"Article 8 Right to respect for private and family life
1 Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home
and his correspondence.
2 There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of
this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary
in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety
or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder
or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of
the rights and freedoms of others."
In the case at hand, the Murrays ("Rowlings") brought an action against the journalistic publication of a covert long lens photograph taken of Rowling and her husband together with their then ca. 19-month old son David as they were walking from their dwelling to a cafe. (David was born on 23 March 2003. The photograph was taken on 8 November 2004. Some sources thus say 19 months while others write 20 months.)
The High Court granted summary judgment against the Rowlings, denying that their child's right of privacy was infringed by publication of the photograph.
The England and Wales Court of Appeal (Civil Division) has now overturned that decision.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal ruled to the contrary that the case should should go to trial (or be settled), since the challenged publication of the photograph in question without consent was indeed a violation of the reasonably expected privacy right of the child under the clear circumstances of this case (a right which existed regardless of the public fame of one of the parents).
Out-Law.com writes:
"There have been some fears in recent privacy cases that courts were creating an image right, the right of celebrities to exert control in all circumstances of how their image is captured and used. Sir Anthony [Sir Anthony Clarke MR] said that this was not the aim and would not be the result of this ruling....
The ruling said: "We do not think that the reality is that the parents seek through their son to establish a right to personal privacy for themselves and their children when engaged in ordinary family activities. […] it seems to us that David may have a reasonable expectation of privacy in circumstances in which his famous mother might not."
The Court of Appeals stated:
"We do not share the predisposition identified by the judge in [66] that routine acts such as a visit to a shop or a ride on a bus should not attract any reasonable expectation of privacy. All depends upon the circumstances. The position of an adult may be very different from that of a child. In this appeal we are concerned only with the question whether David, as a small child, had a reasonable expectation of privacy, not with the question whether his parents would have had such an expectation. Moreover, we are concerned with the context of this case, which was not for example a single photograph taken of David which was for some reason subsequently published.
It seems to us that, subject to the facts of the particular case, the law should indeed protect children from intrusive media attention, at any rate to the extent of holding that a child has a reasonable expectation that he or she will not be targeted in order to obtain photographs in a public place for publication which the person who took or procured the taking of the photographs knew would be objected to on behalf of the child. That is the context in which the photographs of David were taken. [emphasis added by LawPundit]
It is important to note that so to hold does not mean that the child will have, as the judge puts it in [66], a guarantee of privacy. To hold that the child has a reasonable expectation of privacy is only the first step. Then comes the balance which must be struck between the child's rights to respect for his or her private life under article 8 and the publisher's rights to freedom of expression under article 10...."
Obviously, based on that discussion, Rowling has won the case and the defendants will have little option but to settle the case in her favor. Moreover, the case will surely be a landmark case in protecting the privacy rights of children, at least in the United Kingdom.
We definitely approve.

The multi-purpose room at New Hope Academy Charter School was packed for an event that was part pep rally and part parent night.
School administrators urged parents to fight and contact their elected officials to try to keep the school open for the rest of the year.
"I'll never give up the fight. I'll fight until the end," parent Tamika Rascoe said.
On Wednesday, York Mayor Kim Bracey sent a letter to the governor asking him to help keep the school open.
The charter school is scheduled to close January 15. The York City school board denied New Hope's five-year charter renewal last year, saying it had not lived up to academic expectations or followed state guidelines for operations.
On Tuesday, the state Department of Education denied the school's appeal. School officials said, however, that the fight is not over to keep the school open. They are filing an appeal in Commonwealth Court and a petition to stay the school closure until the end of the school year during the appeals process.
The York City School District said it is preparing to educate the students when they return to the district. More than 800 students attend the school in grades 5-12.
School Board President Margie Orr told abc27 she stands by the state appeal board's decision and argued that fighting it would end up harming students. Orr said she wants New Hope parents to give the district a chance because the district has more to offer.

At a time when fellow Seattle rock bands Nirvana and Pearl Jam have made major commercial inroads, releasing critically-acclaimed albums that increased their profile while staying true to their sonic roots, Soundgarden have matched them with Superunknown, the group's strongest CD to date. Running over 70 minutes long, this sprawling, stylistically adventurous record improves on past strengths while demonstrating the quartet's previously untapped potential.
Hard Rock Mixed With Experimentation
On earlier efforts, such as 1991's Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden revealed a mastery of metal and hard rock conventions with their heavier-than-heavy riffs and powerful rhythm section. Those qualities haven't subsided on Superunknown – if anything, the band has upped the ante in those regards – but what emerges on this new album is an ability to incorporate the basics of rock music while branching out into other genres. Superunknown dabbles in power ballads, psychedelic undertones and vaguely Middle Eastern instrumentation, and yet the record feels cohesive instead of a jumble of disparate ideas.
A Great Set of Songs
Beyond the analytical dissection of the different styles being incorporated, though, Superunknown simply sounds amazing. Aided by co-producer Michael Beinhorn, the songs have an epic scope that recalls the massiveness of Led Zeppelin's best material. Although singer Chris Cornell wrote most of the tracks, he receives significant contributions from the other members: drummer Matt Cameron, bassist Ben Shepherd and guitarist Kim Thayil. As a band, they've never sounded tighter, whether powering through the tangled angst of "Mailman" or negotiating the trippy left turns of the experimental "Head Down." Even when tracks push the six-minute mark, the tunes never feel indulgent, as even lengthy numbers such as "Like Suicide" don't contain an ounce of fat.
Disturbing Characters and Depressed Souls
As the band's lyricist, Cornell has always explored the darker aspects of human nature, but he tops himself with Superunknown's litany of disturbing characters and depressed souls. "Mailman" chronicles the life of a meek, frustrated nobody who could turn homicidal at any moment. "The Day I Tried to Live" satirizes people's feeble attempts to improve themselves in the face of life's crushing monotony and cynicism. Elsewhere, the album features several scenes of impending doom, whether real or imagined, creating an atmosphere of dread that rarely lets up.
Cornell's Power as a Frontman
Interestingly though, the album is hardly a bleak listening experience. Part of this is due to the high level of craftsmanship, but it's also a credit to the power of Cornell's presence at the album's center. From the beginning of Soundgarden's career, his singing has stood out, expressing rage and uncertainty with equal aplomb. But his menacing growl of a voice finds new dimensions on Superunknown, as Cornell practically croons on the hypnotic ballad "Black Hole Sun" and skillfully travels up and down his impressive register on the punchy "My Wave." No matter the isolation he and his fictional characters feel, Cornell projects such an image of strength that Superunknown becomes a statement of survival. Odd as it may be to say, despite the album's heart of darkness, this is one exhilarating record.

Hoopstar Philosophy
The Connecticut Hoopstars began in 1999 with just one 5th grade team and has grown into one of the most successful programs in the state. We have won numerous state championships as well as a 5th place finish in nationals.
Our philosophy is to teach the game of basketball and have a fun and positive experience. The main focus is on improving our players as opposed to winning. We feel that kids who play AAU basketball are looking to get more out of basketball than the typical high school/middle school player. We are committed to helping our players improve and attain the goals that they have set forth for themselves. As players advance through the program they will be given the opportunities to showcase their abilities in various tournaments in order to help them attain their primary goals.
Our coaching staff is composed of high school and middle school coaches, officials and former high school and college players. All of our coaches share the philosophy and place an emphasis on practice time in order to help all players improve. They are all positive, supportive and knowledgeable.

Predictable? Accurate.
Me: You know what would be really good right now?
Him: A veggie burger with blue cheese and caramelized onions?
My favorite burger is: blue cheese, caramelized onions, smokey BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, on a whole wheat bun, with a veggie burger (Morningstar Farms griller patty is my favorite). And quite often, when I get it in my head that I need to make this vs wandering about town looking for the perfect veggie burger, I misplace my "perfect caramelized onions" recipe and search the Interwebz in despair, before finally finding my trusty recipe that I got from a Sur la Table cooking class instructor during a Mediterranean class I took a couple year ago.
So in the hopes that in the future, I can just remember that I blogged about it – horray digitized, and that you may also find this to be the best onions, ever, here's the recipe.
Serves 2-ish
As long as you remember to stir occasionally and not crank the heat up, they'll be tasty, tasty onions. So, while you can make anything with these tasty onions: pizza, burgers, flat bread, eggs… I usually start them first since they're so slow and then while I occasionally stir them, I get everything else ready. Then, I don't feel like I'm watching a pot or whatever that saying is.
Bonus: If you can manage to NOT eat all the onions, saving a tiny bit for tomorrow and making an omelette with them is awesome: 2 eggs, a bit of blue cheese, a bit of caramelized onions, pour a tiny bit of BBQ sauce on the top. Delicious.
Ah summer!
Bar Avignon – I love Bar Avignon, but I wish they had better happy hour prices on cheese. Regardless, summer sangria!
Cheese & Crack cheese cart – speaking of cheese, there's a new cheese cart in town. It was $8 for a little "pizza box" full of cheese, crackers, berries, honey stick etc. I ate it all for lunch, but I'll be back to use as picnic supplies soon!
new Townshend's Teahouse on Division – same great tea, new cool building. I love the furniture and chill atmosphere.
evening rides & cocktails at Central – I hadn't been to Central since last summer when we did our 'cocktail crawl' by bike. They took my fav (PB Jewel) off the menu, but still a great place to chill in the Ankeny alleyway.
Roman Holiday in the Park – After watching North by Northwest in the park last summer, I was super excited about Roman Holiday, however it got rained out. I hope they re-play this one at some point during the summer.
Bouldering at the Circuit – I went bouldering at the Circuit Gym on the Eastside. Fun and a good workout.
Farmer's market picnic – PSU Farmers Market is one of my favorite ways to start a Saturday. I picked up Willamette Valley Cheese Co creamy havarti, ciabatta rolls from Pearl Bakery, rainier cherries, raspberries, blackberries, apricots, and treats from Two Tarts and then rode to the park for a picnic.
Portland Flea – I stopped by Portland Flea on Sunday, and found a cute Washington Apple crate (which of course kitty thinks I purchased for her).
Hippie Bowl – I also finally gathered the ingredients to make my own hippie bowl like some of my favorites around town. It's kind of a combo of my favorite ingredients. Here's my hippie bowl recipe.
What are you happy about this week?
I was commenting a few days ago on the difference in how you feel just after eating some thing good vs something good [for you]. Post-cheese plate, I feel like "mmmmmmm… that was good, I feel satisfied and full and now I want some more wine and a nap" vs post-'hippie bowl', I feel like "mmmmmmm… that was good, I'm so good, I make good choices and I'm healthy. I should go running in a bit and then in the morning I'll make green drink." OK, maybe slightly exaggerated, sometimes I have a drink after eating healthy. Balance!
My point though, is that I spend too much money at Portland's many amazing veg-friendly restaurants, like Prasad, and the newly-opened Canteen, on their "hippie bowls" — rice, beans, greens, seeds and Japanese ingredients I don't know the names of, and magical dressings. So this week, I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own! Here's what I came up with.
I must preface this recipe with saying that you can make this recipe the easy, quick way or the slightly healthier –do it [all] yourself — long way, your pick.
Serves 2 (or just you and lunch tomorrow, yay!)
Do you have a favorite hippie bowl recipe? Do share!
I don't care if cake pops are the new cupcakes. I despise them. Pie pops I could probably get behind, but cake pops… no. Just no. So I remain convinced that the next best thing since cupcakes is still the French import of macarons.
Several weekends ago, I took a "Mastering Macarons" class at Sur La Table. While we may not have totally mastered them (oh, please, we totally did… ok, I guess that will be determined after we make a second go of it), it was fun learning about a treat I knew so little about! Turns out the teaching chef, Ben Whitten, was a French Laundry alum (& also chef of Candybar — a dessert lounge in San Francisco). That's one of the things I love about cooking classes, they're like a fun, easy, and short version of culinary school. One of my 30 Before 30 items was to take a cooking class, and since it was so much fun the first time around, I thought a dessert class should be next.
So here are three cooking tips I learned this time:
How do you best remove the egg yolk, leaving just the white? You know the whole "crack an egg and then toss it back and forth between the cracked shell to strain out the egg white" trick? Turns out there's a better way. Chef Ben taught us a much simpler step. 1. Crack the egg in a bowl. 2. Cup your hand, and scoop the yolk straight out of the bowl, straining out the white. Obviously you need to have clean hands. It really is simpler and since you need to wash your hands after either way, it's actually much cleaner, as salmonella can be on the shells too.
"The more money you spend on fancy vanilla bean extract, the more money you're throwing away." I've always been a fan of "true" vanilla extract vs imitation, but "true" vanilla includes alcohol which makes the vanilla burn off anyway if you're cooking with it. A better (and comparably priced) option is vanilla bean paste.
Sometimes when I'm cooking I get a little too busy or if I'm cooking a new or more difficult recipe I can feel like I'm starting to fall behind. At this point, for whatever reason, I often feel like I'm at the mercy of my stove & the recipe (which specifies med-high etc). Note to self: You're in control of the heat, not the food. Such a good reminder to ignore the recipe, go with your intuition and turn down the gosh darn stove. :)
Yes, I made this one up, and you probably can have too much buttercream frosting, but since there were some leftovers, I felt like grabbing the bowl and running out of Sur La Table was the best option. Instead I stayed and finished building every last macaron that I could.
Have you taken any cooking classes lately?
We're coming in to the home stretch of Cook at Home month with less than a week left! Week three was even easier than week two, as we've fallen into a routine {dare I say habit} of cooking at home.
Dinners have been a little cheese and carb heavy this week, and for the most part, equally delicious.
Week 3 Menu:
Thankfully, no accidental mimosa mishaps this week, although I did take a Mastering Macarons cooking class at Sur la Table (more on that soon) last weekend, so the "less sugar" goal was kind of blown out of the water for Saturday, as I sampled my fair share of macarons.
Restaurant Pick this Week:
Mi Mero Mole. Thus far, we've been hitting our favorites on our once a week dining experience, so this week we checked out a new place that's been on my list. I was left with mixed feelings about Mi Mero Mole. They've been open for a couple of months and specialize in guisados, which is Spanish for 'stew' and apparently popular particularly in Mexico City. The guisados plate (which was kind of like a build your own tacos plate) I ordered was burn-your-face-off hot. Yes, I'm kind of a wimp with spicy food, but it would have been nice to know that I needed to bring a box of tissues with me. :( So I wasn't blown away, but I'll give Mi Mero Mole another shot at some point.

CATEGORIES MoviesCowabunga! The remaining three Ninja Turtles have been cast in producer Michael Bay's upcoming adaptation of the beloved comic book series.
Deadline reports that Pete Ploszek will play Leonardo, Jeremy Howard will play Donatello, and Noel Fisher will play Michelangelo. They join "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" star Alan Ritchson, who was cast last week in the role of Raphael.
Fisher was most recently seen on the big screen in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," and had a starring role in the History Channel's "Hatfields & McCoys" miniseries. He previously starred in "Ninja Turtles" director Jonathan Liebesman's film "Battle Los Angeles."
Ploszek has two TV acting credits to his name, appearing in guest spots on "Shameless" and "Parks and Recreation."
Little information is available about Howard, perhaps indicative of Liebesman and Bay's attempts to put a fresh spin on the franchise by casting little-known actors as the leads. (Not-so-unknown Megan Fox was previously cast as TV reporter and turtle sidekick April O'Neil.) The pair is also eliminating both the "teenage" and "mutant" aspects of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, making the characters aliens instead.
"Ninja Turtles" opens June 6, 2014.

£10m storage building will house giant newspaper library
8:08am Friday 14th December 2012 in News By Mike Laycock, Chief reporter
Steve Morris, of the British Library, reads The Press inside the new giant newspaper storage centre at Boston Spa
CULTURE Minister Ed Vaizey has visited one of the world's greatest newspaper libraries, which is being created in a cavernous new building near Boston Spa.
The high-tech Newspaper Storage Building at the British Library will eventually contain 750 million pages from more than 300 years of local, regional and national newspapers – including The Press and its predecessor, The Yorkshire Evening Press.
The building is 24 metres high – almost half the height of the Minster – and a series of measures has been taken to ensure the newspapers are well preserved.
Levels of oxygen in the airtight complex will be reduced from normal levels of 20 per cent to 14.6 to ensure the collection cannot catch fire and, no matter what the weather is like outside, temperatures will be kept at a constant 14C, with humidity maintained at 52.5 per cent.
Conditions contrast sharply with the current, outdated home of the newspapers, in Colindale, north London, which has no temperature or humidity controls.
The newspapers will be put on to racking up to 20 metres high by robots, and will be bar-coded to ensure they can be retrieved whenever needed.
Construction of the racking is expected to be completed by next Easter, and it will then take six months for the collection to be moved to Boston Spa from London, at the rate of three articulated lorries per day.
The £10 million new building has been funded as part of a £33 million investment by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to safeguard the long-term future of the national newspaper collection.
Steve Morris, director of finance and corporate services at the British Library, said he expected staff from libraries around the world to come to Boston Spa to inspect the storage building.
Mr Vaizey praised the new building. He said: "It's fantastic. This is going to store one of the greatest newspaper collections in the world, dating back to the 18th century, including not just national newspapers but also local newspapers from across the country."

FORT MADISON, Iowa (AP) - Gov. Terry Branstad is offering a fiery defense of his administration's efforts to work with an Egyptian company to build a $1.4 billion fertilizer plant in southeastern Iowa.
Branstad lashed out at the project's critics during a Tuesday community meeting in Fort Madison. He says Democratic state senators are playing politics when they criticize the hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks that state and local leaders offered Orascom Construction Industries for the plant, which he says will create jobs and help farmers.
Branstad defended his decision to finance the project with $1.2 billion in bonds meant to help Iowa businesses recover from the floods of 2008. And he said he believed the Koch brothers were behind some opposition to the plant because it would hurt their fertilizer business.

I had saline implants in 2000 and was instructed to exercise the implants and take 1000 units of vitamin E every day from then on out. The implants on both the right and left side began to attach. I had to go in to the office 3 times a week to have the nurse move the implants for me. It was painful, often causing popping sounds within the wall. I had the implants recently checked because one felt tight. The dr. said 1 was encapsulated because I had stopped exercising. Does this sound right?

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $1200
A reliable, durable, and stable all-around canoe that will last several lifetimes.
- Durability and reliability that comes from Royalex done well
- All-around contender...does all things well.
- A tad heavy for long, undulating portages
- Not as streamlined and fast as Kevlar canoes
The Old Town Penebscot 17 is a reliable and functional tripper and everyday paddler. Extremely stable in all water conditions, from flat lakes to Class III. Initial and final stability are predictable and inspire confidence. I've tripped with mine for over a decade, from the lakes and rivers of Canada, Ohio, and Michigan to the Gulf, rivers and back waters of SW Florida.
For portaging it is a bit overweight, but has been doable. Durability is without question as is its reliability. It does sit high and has the propensity to weathervane in high winds, but slices through the waves without letting the water in. Not as quick as many high end kevlar canoes, but its length allows for adequate speed, even when laden with a week's worth of gear and food.
Royalex done well is hard to beat. Families in particular will enjoy the Old Town Penebscot 17 with a ton of usable space. Several companies make additional "drop-in" seats that are easy to attach/detach, allowing small children to enjoy the ride with Mom and Dad. We have paddled with three of our kids and our Lab without any difficulty or stability issues.
I must add, even after a decade of use our Penebscot still looks excellent, although washing it down and storing it properly in the garage after each use has prolonged its good looks.

Source: bought it used
Price Paid: $700
I use it mainly for fishing with my kids and we have a blast. I love being on the water with this canoe.
- Durability
- Speed
- Attractiveness
One of my favorite possessions of all time. This is a great family canoe and also expedition canoe. My kids love it. It is very durable, attractive and also light enough to carry and load solo. With two paddlers it is a rocket. It will fit a lot of gear as well. I get lots of positive comments at the local reservoir.

The Rockies may try to flip their newly acquired center fielder to the Marlins.
I wonder what they could want....let me see....I will guess: young pitchers. Could be wrong about that. But not likely.
I'm still not sold on the weak hitting Taveras, especially since I think the price will be too high in terms of the team's young pitching talent. Assuming that is what the Rockies will ask for and they will. Defensively, Taveras is okay. He is pretty bad at coming up on the ball but he goes back reasonably well.
Note: I'm sorry about the breavity of the post today. I have to be at work extremely early. Enjoy your Friday!

According to our NBC affiliate, KJRH, Veronica and all parties involved in the heated custody debate are due in a Cherokee County Court Friday morning.
Lori Alvino McGill, an attorney for Veronica's biological mother told 2News "After fully participating in 19 long months of litigation in South Carolina family courts, state courts and the United States Supreme Court, Mr. Brown and the Cherokee Nation persist in initiating a new wave of lawsuits in courts that lack jurisdiction."
Thursday the Capobiancos filed a motion to have her brought to the courthouse this morning along with the biological father Dusten Brown, his wife, and his parents who have guardianship of the girl under Cherokee Nation Court orders.
Right now Oklahoma law gives Brown until next Friday to challenge the South Carolina ruling to return Veronica to the James Island couple.
It's not clear if a judge would have the authority to send Veronica back to South Carolina at the hearing today.
That hearing is at 10 a.m. EST Friday morning.
The following is a statement regarding the court hearing scheduled for Friday, Aug. 16 in Cherokee County, Oklahoma, from Jessica Munday, a spokesperson for the Capobiancos.
"Late yesterday afternoon while visitation discussions were still occurring, the Capobiancos received notice from Brown's attorneys that a tribal court hearing was scheduled for 11 a.m. this morning to 'determine guardianship' over Veronica. The Capobiancos and Veronica's birth mother were intentionally excluded from the hearing. After 19 long months of trying this case in local family courts, state courts and the U.S. Supreme Court, Brown has determined yet again his intent to continue to drag this unfortunate situation out further. Because of his actions, the Capobiancos issued a special federal request in Cherokee County, where Brown has been hiding out with Veronica. Brown's insistence on creating more roadblocks forced them to ask an Oklahoma judge to demand that Brown turn over their daughter. Veronica does not need nor deserve any more court hearings. Veronica deserves for this to be over! This situation remains heart-wrenching and the Capobiancos and their family do not rejoice in this matter. Their hearts go out to the Brown family. They, more than anyone else, understand the pain and hurt created by these circumstances. The best thing for both families, and more importantly for Veronica, is the critical step toward closure."

Online Learning – New Age Distance Learning
Online Learning (part of E-learning) is technology supported learning. There is normally no face-to-face interaction that we usually see in a typical classroom approach and learning is conducted through electronic means like computer or even mobile.
There is usually a large number of equipment so as to deliver the content or instruction to the learners. It includes internet or even the LAN in a company. It can also be coined as internet or computer based learning.
Online Learning is essentially a form of distance learning which has been in existence for many years. However, unlike the typical distance learning which includes classroom, online learning can be taken at home and at your own time. The strength is that one does not need to travel to a certain location to get the learning done, however, the disadvantage is that if one is stuck, there is no one to be able to guide through closely.
Nevertheless, some online courses have incorporated chat, instant messaging or even video conferencing. This helps in bring one closer to the college and enhance learning through these channels. This is getting very popular among the learners and many colleges are already actively exploring the option in their course structure. Do check out Learning Supreme and Online Learning for more related information.

Normally, when the cold weather arrives, I feel as if I'm one of the little geckos that sometime peek their heads out of the pockets in Margalef, taking refuge from the harsh climate. I grew up in the desert so naturally I seek out the sun. I either make plans to travel to a warmer area or head for the boulders. This year was different and thankfully with a group that's always psyched it was easy to stay motivated through the coldest months.

Dani Andrada and Chris Sharma have been leading the way, always climbing a muerte. Also, important to mention is Daila Ojeda, no different than the other Spanish machinas, who holds her own. I was impressed watching her climb Fish Eye, a monster of an 8c in Oliana, like it was a walk in the park. Chris broke out of the winter dormancy and climbed a variation to the First Round First Minute, calling it First Ley (9a+). Dani, who seems to never stop, even when the weather is cold, wet, humid, or hot, climbed numerous new-school testpieces during the winter: Ciudad De Dios, Open your Mind directa, La Ley Innata, Blanquita, Mind Control (9a, 9a+, 8c+/9a, 8c+, 8c+), and many more ... All under the radar and all whilst equipping new routes in Oliana and Margalef. Chris has also opened some new lines, specifically in Oliana: Xhaxi Raxi and a couple others, all in a different realm, waiting to be awoken sometime in the future. Dave Graham is also representing, making Picos Pardos (8b+) onsite and numerous other 8c redpoints in Oliana.

As for me? Well, the motivation was high, even in the cold weather. However, a little over a month ago, after giving a try on Victima Perez in Margalef, I felt a weird ache in the palm of my hand. I brushed it off as 'just being sore' and continued to climb. After a couple more days I knew for sure something was wrong and had to hang up my shoes and rest. I spoke to one of my friends and many others and it turned out that I slightly tore a small muscle in my hand called the lumbricle muscle. It's funny, after so much injury talk with many of my friends I never imagined that I would actually get injured. But there I was, in the middle of prime climbing and crew in Spain, unable to climb because of an apparent overuse and eventual failure of a small muscle in my hand. The first week was pretty difficult, but after that I started to embrace the rest and got to work. My first objective was to bolt a beautiful golden line in the middle of Oliana. There is an existing line in this part of the wall called Happy Hour (8a), but it ends a little before halfway, in a small roof. I decided to hike up and hang a rope to explore. I rappelled down and was psyched and surprised to find a barely there -- but definitely there -- sequence of small pockets, little edges, and slopers. I got my hooks out, pulled up a drill, and got to work. The process was amazing to me and I was psyched to explore the new fresh section of wall. I was even more psyched to see Dave go up right after and climb all the moves! It's possible and waiting! Loco Ojos (8c+,9a,9a+, 9b ????).

The rest has also given me some time to work more on a video project – a part of the multimedia company founded by Dave Graham called The Island. It's all about climbers filming climbers, learning daily about cameras, good shots, capturing the 'moments', emotions, etc... It's great being able to see the evolution in our work. Since I arrived in Europe last June, the entire process has been an awesome experience and the knowledge I've gained is invaluable. I cannot wait to start the post production. This, like the video work, will be a long and hard learning experience, but it's something I look forward to.

Finally, not all is lost -- the hand is feeling great now! There is one more month left until I fly back to Colorado, and now that climbing is possible I'm more motivated than ever! Could this be proof that a good break is healthy for the motivation? I think so. It's good to give your body a break from time to time, injured or not.
I'm looking forward to the rehabilitation in some friendly areas like Rodellar and Oliana until I leave on the 28th. I'm also looking forward to a great summer in Colorado. It's been a few years since I've been in the states for summer, especially Colorado.
Salut to all you readers. Stay healthy and stay psyched!
