Last month, Nike unveiled the new United States Men's National Team away kit. It is glorious. The white sleeves combined with the red, white and blue crossover collar are designed to resemble varsity jacket. The familiar tonal slash on the body is a nod to the kit design worn by the 1950 USMNT team who defeated England in the World Championship finals. My favorite detail is the American flag tucked away on the inside neck. USA!
It's the second Saturday in December and that means Army-Navy. One of the few events left that are played solely for the love of the game. If you ask me, it's a nice breather from all the current NBA trade/MLB acquisition talk that dominated the week. These guys aren't headed to the pros. Sure, there are outliers, see Cowboys Quarterback Roger Staubach. But for the most part these men have committed to serve in our armed forces and this will be the highlight of their football career. The only reason to play is for pride — it's a game of honor. And what's not to love about the triple option?
Go Navy. Beat Army.
Is it me or does anyone else feel like soccer fandom in the United States is building towards a realistic tipping point? Are we that far away from a time when the casual sports fan will care about soccer when it isn't World Cup related? Maybe the degree I surround myself with sports media has me even more separated from the casual fan than I realize. This photo, on the other hand, makes me think otherwise.

Wow... parents talking about how much money they make in reference to school reviews... doesn't sound like the character development this school claims to instill has generalized to the home. Not sure I would want my child exposed to anytthing like that
I toured this school while looking for private education for my three children. Everyone said this was the place to send your children, if you could afford it. While I found the grounds to be nice and the marketing staff friendly, I was put off by what I saw in the classrooms I toured. I spent some time in a first-grade classroom while the teacher was giving a test. She gave the questions verbally, so I was able to hear them. I found her questions to be very poorly constructed and lacking quality. We then went to the science room where a documentary on monkeys was being shown. The students appeared bored and the science teacher disinterested in their level of interest. We then went to the library. The students were being taught how to take notes while reading. Again, the students seemed very disinterested. Several asked to use the bathroom. Notes were being passed. I could tell my tour guide was unhappy with what we were seeing, hardly a good sell for three-children's tuition. I still considered moving forward with the application process, but after reading the literature on the average SAT scores, I chose not to do so. I found the scores and school to be mediocre, at best.
To the last comment about "beening rich and snobby, stay that way". If that's how you feel you must have monsters for children and you are a very sad person. Your comment was the first I seen, and now I will not send my child to that school. I make over 600,000 a year net income and my kids couldn't tell you that. Its about the person you are and what you do for others, Not about wealth. Please write that down.
Super excited to attend Berkley next year ! Sounds like a great school. & person who said there snobby kids. Whatever. It's because were rich and so r u you don't need to stick up for the poor Hun your one of us!! Stay that way !
I attended this school for my last two years of high school and I was very pleased with my progress. The school helped me in all areas of academics because I was certainly lacking when I enrolled. I did not fit in socially but that was not why I was there. I was certainly not among the elite but felt I was treated fairly. I am thankful to all involved in my educational journey. There was one math teacher that was full of himself but he was a good math teacher nonetheless.
My daughter started in 4th grade and loves it. The teaching is much more interesting than in the Public School (she came from an A+ rated school in Tampa). The teachers are wonderful and the administration seems receptive.
I've lived and travelled all over the world and attended top rated private schools in the American and British systems. This school is amazing. I have three kids, two in upper division and one in lower division. The faculty at Berkeley go the extra mile so that every kid feels special, known and understood. That's an often missed foundation upon which to build academic learning. The school's academic qualifications are well known. Beyond academics, what I love about Berkeley is the way it focusses on the whole person, not just the academic development. We used to be in IB, but my child was doing homework until very late every night and had no time for extracurriculars. My child was growing academically, but what about the rest of her education? Berkeley has a no cut sports program and strongly encourages participation. The homework is not so heavy that kids can't take part in a few of the hundreds of clubs and groups. The result is a well-rounded, mature individual. You'll notice it immediately when you walk through upper division. The kids treat adults with respect. These are things you won't see in the brochures.
My child has attended Berkeley's lower division for two years now. She transitioned from another private school out of state, and had quite a bit of work to do to catch up to Berkeley's rigorous academic pace and standards of conduct, but the faculty and staff stood ready to help us equip her for the transition, and worked with us in order to help her to maintain her progress at home. The teachers are all eager to help students succeed. They work diligently to find interesting ways to present complex material. In my experience, more is expected of the parents here than at other schools-- I think this is a key to a child's success that is often overlooked elsewhere. There are adequate opportunities for parents of both genders to actively volunteer. The school trains its students to be leaders, and the children have a great example in Headmaster Seivold his faculty, his staff, and the many alumni that actively work to maintain and improve this school.
Experience is tied to expectations. At least this is how we have approached our experience with Berkeley. If your expectation is that your child will receive a rigorous college preparatory education, that your concerns will be listened to by a strong and caring faculty and administration, that your child will be held to high standards in academic performance and personal behavior, be provided with wonderful opportunities and leave the school with lifelong friends and connections, then this school is for your child. If your expectation is that you get to call the shots, that your child is perfect, that he or she could never break any rule, that his or her failings are someone else's fault, that he or she should be shielded from consequence of any kind, then this school is definitely NOT for you. In our experience (we have had children go through all three divisions), the vast majority of Berkeley parents are supportive of the school's mission and 'get it' about their child's strengths and weaknesses, the way the school staff are committed and dedicated to helping their child grow as a person, and what a privilege (not a right) it is to go to a school like Berkeley.
Definitely the best school in the Tampa Bay area. The community is tight knit; it is truly like an extended family. The teachers truly care about each student - they get to know them as people, love them for who they are and play to each child's strengths. With the competitiveness of the college process today, it is imperative that each child is known for their own individual qualities. The school takes its time making sure that each child has an appropriately successful outcome. There is nowhere else I would have my son in all of Florida
Of the reviews already written, it is obvious that Oct. 27, July 30, and May 30 were written by the same person: the same complaints, the matching word usage, repeated incorrect capitalization. You cannot please everyone. This is the best school I have ever seen. Perfect, no. Best in the southeast of the USA, yes. The talented and respectful students have wide opportunities. The supportive parents encourage the visionary faculty. The leaders never rest. The alumni return frequently to express their appreciation. Here is a glowing tribute: one hundred percent of all employees have given to the annual campaign for five consecutive years. The Berkeley community is a close knit family.
A recent grad, Berkeley opened up a world of opportunity for me. I came from a public school in CT, and never had been exposed to many opportunities. When AP testing came, I was prepared. Never once did I feel overwhelmed during the college application process. I never felt out of place. This school caters to each individual student; no one feels lost. The faculty and staff truly care about your well-being and your future. Maybe some other reviewers have had bad experiences with the school, but I truly believe that is an abnormality at that school. I loved my five years there (8th grade to graduation) and so did my brother, who was against moving to Florida in the first place, as he was moving in his junior year. He is currently interning at Goldman Sachs in New York, and continually, like me (studying biomedical sciences at a top research institute in Florida) states that he would not be where he is today without the support of Berkeley. Even years after graduating, we find ourselves returning to our school for the advice of past teachers. Please consider Berkeley. It's a great school: amazing teachers, happy students, and a deserving reputation other schools can only dream of.
I have never seen a more comprehensive curriculum. The students, faculty and administration are confident, capable and committed to excellence in everything they do. I have found the families and school community to be friendly, generous and supportive. I am extremely pleased that my child is attending such an outstanding institution.
This school has done an amazing job at building the public perception and fooling the community. It s a fancy school with an abundance of dysfunction. There is bullying, social engineering (implemented via teachers and faculty), and limited opportunity for parent-student involvement. Your child will receive an education (in the LD and MD) equivalent to the public schools (students use the same exact books and curriculum as the South Tampa public schools). It s a private school that bases its curriculum on meeting the FL state standards. Differentiation is a catch phrase they know parents love to hear (it s not implemented correctly). The UD Merit Scholars and Ivy graduates are not the lifers (it s certainly not published and I assume they attract/grant scholarships to these new UD kids for the school press ). The administration loves using clich s and holding pep rally type meetings; they will NEVER recognize or address serious issues. It is a VERY political school! Be cautious of your purchase (your student may be a full tuition seat-filler )!
I attended Berkeley and then went to one of the best universities in the country. My college results would not have been the same had I gone to Plant or Tampa Prep. While I was in high school, I worked very hard, and, although my parents were not "old boys," the administration always treated my family well. My two cents for all the parents looking for schools: Berkeley is the best you'll find in the Tampa Bay area. There will always be a few parents who claim that an institution is "political." This one isn't.
This school is not the best school in the area! Please talk to others that attend the school before sending your child. My son attended the school for 3 years (middle school). While attending the school, he earned Dean's List recognition EVERY grading period AND athletic awards for ALL of the various sports that he played. In spite of his success, he was still treated unfairly as it related to discipline (minor infraction) and was subjected to the inappropriate behavior of other students that went unpunished because of their parent's status at the school. Any child with a "real" sense of justice will have huge problems with the preferential treatment that is given to some of the students. The students are keenly aware of what is happening. In regard to the quality of education, most of the teachers (particularly in mathematics) do not teach but rather issue assignments. Because my son was bright and able to easily pass the testing required for acceptance, he did well. But, his skills did not improve while he was there. In addition, this school routinely retains its lower school (elementary) students. Why? Ask them about that! See beyond the fluff and ask the hard questions.
This school is not for everyone. Be careful to talk to people that go there and get the real scoop of what the school is like first. It is a very politically run school. If you are an old boy or old girl I agree the rules are different for those children. It should not matter who your parents are as you paid the same amount of tuition as the other person. This school does not care about their students. It is all about money and their reputation. Be sure to ask them how many students a year get suspended or kicked out and that should answer a lot of questions. I would never recommend this school to anyone.
This is a great school and far exceeded my expectations. We have a forth grader that started this year and it has been a great experience.
THIS IS PART 5. Those schools are no Harvard, but I don't know very many high schools [if any] where a student can get suspended twice and still get into those schools listed! By the way- this friend's family has never made any contribition toward the school, or any large donation for a new building. So even if money was a factor in this case, get over it. If we stay out of trouble we don't have to deal with that. As for the person who sent his/her child elsewhere for high school, I'm sorry you took your kid out of the best school around here because he/she didn't get the coaches award. Your loss, not Berkeley's. No harsh feelings in any of this- just the truth. I LOVE BERKELEY. GO BUCS!!!!!!!!
This school does not live up to it's reputation. There is a complete and unfair bias at this school. This is the first time as a family we have ever experienced racisim. Yet the school claims they are accepting of all enthnicity and religion. This is not true. There are two different sets of rules for certain people when it comes to discipline. If you donate huge amounts of money to the school or your parent is on the board, the school will look the other way. Even if that child has been charged with three felonies. This school's SDC committee violates your child's rights by not allowing a parent to be present. The school will force parents to withdraw their children if your child does not fit into their nice little box of what they want. The school will act harshly on some issues yet turn a cheek to others. It depends again who you are at the school. If you dare send your child to this school be prepared to fork over a huge tutition and a huge donation if you want your child to remain at this school. The school is a complete joke if they call themselves educators.

Soccer and rugby divide the Cape
In toss-up between Stormers and Bafana, locals tend towards rugby.
There were no signs something big was to take place at the Cape Town Stadium two hours before the Bafana Bafana match kicked off.
This was despite reports that more than 30 000 tickets had been sold for the crucial 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifier against the Central African Republic.
The only visible movements were those of traffic officers manning the roads.
With the Super Rugby match between the Stormers and the visiting Brumbies on the other side of town at Newlands, Cape Town fans were torn between rugby and football.
Moreover, the Absa Cape Epic was also in town.
The organisers of this Bafana match were hoping for a late rush, but the signs were not too good as people just wandered around going about their business.
Cape Town was not supposed to get this game but, thanks to R. Kelly, the game could not be taken to Bafana's happy hunting ground at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. The US star's concert was cancelled too late to shift the fixture.
Bafana coach Gordon Igesund sounded surprised when told the concert had been called off.
But someone should have known about the Stormers game, as rugby fixtures are publicised well in advance. To stage the Bafana game at this venue on the same day was suicidal, to say the least. The situation could have been easily avoided had the two sporting codes' organisations worked together, with one game kicking off earlier.
Cape Town has never been Bafana's fortress.
The last defeat here came at the hands of Norway in January.
Before then, they had lost to the US and Zambia.
This was a match Igesund needed to win to get Bafana's World Cup qualifying campaign back on track after draws in the opening two matches against Ethiopia and Botswana.
Injuries to key players – Tsepo Masilela and Siyabonga Sangweni – deprived Igesund of his reliable defenders but he was still hopeful of the three points.
Prior to the match, Bafana players were in a cheerful mood as they wished defender Morgan Gould a happy 30th birthday.
The Kaizer Chiefs man was making a timely return to the team after missing the Africa Cup of Nations due to injury.
He last played for the national team in June against Gabon.
Most of the players took to social networks wishing the towering defender best of luck and even asked him to cap it with a goal.
Most importantly, they appealed for supporters to come out in numbers.
The visitors, on the other hand, sent a strong message of warning to Bafana that they would underestimate their opponents at their peril.
Captain Itumeleng Khune sounded optimistic ahead of the game, although he was going to play with a new back four in the absence of Masilela, Sangweni and Bongani Khumalo, who was dropped for this match.
All eyes were on Igesund's team selection and whether it would be good enough to extract maximum points.
- Timothy Molobi in Cape Town

NINE LIVES - DVD review
This one may have flown under your radar, but if you missed it and you're a fan of independent films and serious cinema, you really should check out "Nine Lives." In this low-budget production, director Rodrigo Garcia ("The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under") uses nine continuous takes to tell about a moment in the lives of nine female characters from the L.A. area. By filming in real time, what Garcia does, of course, is to reinforce a sense of reality and immediacy. And to help him do that, he's assembled an all-star cast who relish the chance to work with a single take, rather than being afraid of the demand for 10 to 14 minutes of perfection. Those are the film's great strengths—the concept, the camerawork, and the acting.
First up is Elpida Carrillo, who plays Sandra, a young mother serving time in LA County Jail for a crime that's never revealed, only later vaguely implied. None of these segments is rich with information or backstory. It's all there in the present—moments of personal crisis that only suggest the lives that these women lead. Unlike Robert Altman's "Short Cuts," which wove together a handful of Ray Carver short stories and created overlapping situations and character encounters, this script pretty much offers nine separate case studies—one right after the other with no transitions—that DO have some overlapping late in the film, but not enough for it to be thematically or narratively significant. In other words, it's even more minimalist than "Short Cuts."
In all of the segments, the emphasis is on moments of painful truth: Robin Wright plays Diana, a pregnant woman who meets a former lover (also married) in the supermarket and contemplates an affair; Lisa Gay Hamilton is Holly, an apparently abused woman who returns to the scene of the crime; Holly Hunter is Sonia, who comes to realize at a dinner party that her relationship is over; Amanda Seyfried is Samantha, a teenager who has to cope with the strained relationship of her parents; Amy Brenneman is Lorna, who runs into an ex- at the funeral of his wife; Sissy Spacek is Ruth, who can't bear her husband's disability any longer and ends up with another man; Kathy Baker is Camille, who faces cancer surgery; and Glenn Close is Maggie, who tries to cope with her own loss by having a picnic with a little girl (Dakota Fanning).
As you might expect, not all the segments are equally successful, and how viewers respond to them may actually vary according to whatever "baggage" the viewers bring to the film. In a sense, that's what minimalism demands: more interaction with the audience, who is expected to speculate on the rest of these women's lives and, depending on whatever past experiences they bring to the film, try to connect the dots in order to come up with an overriding resonant theme. But that can also be a liability, because the segments themselves, while fascinating and well-done, don't have a built-in resonance as a whole, or tell us something beyond what we're able to see in the individual episodes. As a result, more than a few viewers may walk away from this thinking, So? Yes, the struggles seem to build toward he ninth life, when death is confronted, but the film feels as if it could have been much more resonant.
Another problem with "Nine Lives" is that by choosing to focus on moments of crises, the episodes start to become predictable. Each segment quickly presents a situation and moves just as quickly to a moment of crisis, and it doesn't take a Ph.D. in film studies or human behavior to sense where the episode is going. And as the scene shifts from one shrill crisis to another, it all starts to feel one-note.
Garcia, who's the son of literature Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, admits to being drawn to the short narrative format, and things like this are harder to pull off than they look. His first feature film, "Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her" (2000), which was made for cable TV, told the story of five women from different backgrounds whose lives intersected. Baker, Carillo, Close, and Hunter also appeared in this one, which had considerably more interconnection and, as a result (one might argue), more resonance. Then came "Ten Tiny Love Stories" (2001), in which Baker appeared again, as well as Lisa Gay Hamilton. As the title implies, it was 10 women talking directly into the camera sharing their stories about some of their most memorable relationships and their thoughts about love. It was as if Garcia was fascinated by the technique used in "When Harry Met Sally" and decided to do a whole movie using direct testimonies. In each case, Garcia has gravitated toward telling the stories of women and the ways in which life wears them down (and they try to rise above it). He loves ensembles, and he loves trying different things—and for that, you have to love him.
Video: For an independent film, the quality is quite good. The DVD is mastered in High Definition in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen, and while they're slight graininess in outdoor and diffused lighting, the overall look is pretty sharp.
Audio: The audio is a robust Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, which almost seems like overkill given the strictly ambient background for the nine episodes. With subtitles in English, French, and Spanish, the director obviously felt his film would appeal to a wide audience. Here, as with the video, the sound is quite good.
Extras: Garcia, Brenneman, Hamilton, Baker and Mantegna appear in the most interesting extra on a roughly filmed panel at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute.
The format was relaxed and the actors were forthcoming with their remarks and felt free to share plenty of jokes as well. It's a fun feature to watch, and one which may teach aspiring actors and filmmakers a great deal.
My colleague, Eddie Feng, has observed that the trend toward producing "featurettes" is because studios have to pay more if the feature goes longer. But the problem, of course, is that the short features aren't conducive to any depth, and the four short ones included here are a perfect example. They're like teasers that leave you wanting more. The best of the bunch is one that shows how extensively Garcia plans his continuous shots.
Bottom Line: Just as he's been experimenting with topics—small burdens, love, major crises—Rodrigo Garcia also seems to be playing with numbers. He went from five to 10 and then nine characters for his ensemble films, apparently trying to discover what number works best in order to create a modular structure rather than a linear—which, again, seems to be his natural inclination. And when he finds just the right number and just the right subject, I'm guessing that film will be his masterpiece. In any case, he's an interesting director to watch. "Nine Lives" isn't a master work, but it's still a fascinating piece of filmmaking.

We need more foods like falafel and whatnot that can somewhat pass for meat. Otherwise I'll stick to my 3-4 servings of actual animal-flesh weekly, thanks.

Just one more thing to pay you great respect for! Well done!
I used to be a veggie for about 10 years, but when I got married to a non-veggie I got weak from time to time...
In my heart I'm still a veggie though, and I see the need for much more people eating much less meat, it's about the best thing you can do for yourself AND the planet.
Thanks! But I don't think it deserves congratulations. In honesty it's something I rarely think about because I don't see it as a sacrifice. The only time it becomes an issue is when I'm in a foreign country that doesn't really understand the idea of eating meat - then I end up eating a lot of salad or cheese toasties.
I'm married to a former vegetarian who largely stopped eating meat again when we got together, mostly out of convenience (it doesn't make much sense to cook meat-based meals for one), and because she doesn't really mind either way. She still eats fish now and then but of course it's up to her what she does. I always see it as a completely personal choice, and wouldn't do anything myself just because someone else said I should - I can't stand preachy vegetarians who lecture or criticise others for what they do.
But you're right, it is better for the planet to eat less meat. The way I see it, it would be great if we could live without harming animals or using the Earth's resources to feed and breed them. I think every effort is a step in the right direction, but whether that means forgoing the odd burger or becoming a strict vegetarian it has to be up to the individual.

They do here in the UK. In fact, I think they changed the rules a few years ago so the ingredients list say beef gelatine or pork gelatine. When I was in the Jewish museum in Berlin (a really interesting place, incidentally) they were selling kosher Haribo sweets made of fish gelatine.

Ready, set, FIRE!!!
Snoop Dogg is no stranger to touting his love for marijuana, and he's not pleased that his weed-toking buddy, Willie Nelson was pinched for possessing the green stuff. The Doggfather recently spoke on the country legend's arrest after border patrol at Sierra Blanca, Texas detained him for possessing six ounces of the sticky icky.
"They better leave Willie the f— alone!" a heated Snoop told TMZ. "Willie Nelson is a legend, man. Really, sometimes you gotta back off certain people and have a certain amount of respect for your elders. Willie Nelson is our elder. He's somebody who lived through many decades of music and hard times and whatnot and living good and going up and down. So give him that respect."
The Cali rapper continued his tirade by going after the police officer who put him behind bars. 'Who's the motherf—er that arrested him? I want to know who's the police officer that said 'You're under arrest. You've got a right to remain silent.' You dumb motherf–ker, you. You stupid motherf—er you. What you think you going to gain by arresting Willie Nelson? He got out and he back smoking right now!"
Snoop collaborated with his toke buddy on 'My Medicine,' a track dedicated to pot that was included on his 2008 album 'Ego Trippin'.' He capped his diatribe by cementing his love for Nelson and issuing a warning: "If you got a problem with Willie Nelson, you got a problem with me!"

This roll comes in at 25 feet long. To pack the 3" tower, I cut each piece to new rolls of 3 1/2 feet long which seems to work perfectly.

Absolutely the best copper packing material you can purchase. I like to pack column half way with Copper and the other half with ceramic rings. Clean column, copper and rings after each run.

The copper packing worked great and was easy to work with! I reccomend that once you cut it, shake it a little to get the small loose pieces to fall out before you pack it in your column,
Posted by Brad on 12th Dec 2012
I searched all over the place and this is by far the best quality, clean copper packing.

A perfect product for packing a column. Enough here to pack a 2" column 24" high. I will continue to do business here.

Less-told stories about corporate globalization: transnational corporations and CSR as the politics of (ir)responsibility in Africa

In the wake of transformations being ushered by globalization, figures suggest that there is a rise in the power of transnational corporations (TNCs), raising important questions about the exercise of such power and/or how to hold them accountable for it. Concomitantly, corporate social responsibility (CSR) discourse has emerged as a new discursive formation; a new meta-narrative that is propagated by TNCs. It seeks to portray the actions of TNCs as oriented by such values as "responsibility," "sustainability," "development." Situated within what is emerging as "an anthropological imperative to critique" the actions of corporations, this article takes a critical approach to such a meta-narrative. It argues that not only do TNCs behave irresponsibly in contexts outside the Global North where they can easily get away with doing so, but also that the CSR discourse of responsibility helps to occlude these often damaging actions by TNCs. Drawing from an overview of the often untold or less-known stories of damaging actions by TNCs in Africa in the recent past, this article illustrates the disturbing co-existence of socially irresponsible actions amidst a forceful tendency to circulate a feel-good CSR discourse of responsibility.

Are the reservoirs BPA free? Mine has that 'baby toy' plastic smell, and I can taste the plastic in the water.....trying to avoid drinking bottles and plastic products that aren't healthy for us. Sure hope they aren't made w/BPA.

This September we are highlighting our friends at SEED Educators:
"SEED helps teachers to See Environmental Education Differently. On our website we help teachers find knowledgeable and reliable resources to use in their classrooms. At our monthly networking sessions we connect bring educators together to learn and support each other. We are building knowledge, confidence, and community in order to strengthen environmental education."
"Chasing a sudden thought, I asked the group if we fourteen individuals are so special or if actually the Otesha social atmosphere allows us to bond like this. In other words, could we not bond deeply with people outside our group if we made the effort to create the same social environment? The question alone makes me grateful for my experience so far."

Why We Love This Cooking Video!
Back when she lived in NYC, Jill Santopietro made wonderful, inspiring videos about cooking in her tiny (very tiny!) kitchen. Now she's in the Bay Area and working for Chow.com. We love her new Cooks from Books video series and in particular, this latest installment where she cooks from David Tanis' Heart of the Artichoke. Read on for our reasons why.
In a perfect world, this is how all instructional cooking shows would be: full of the real challenges that an everyday cook would encounter when confronted with a new recipe. Here are seven reasons why we love this video.
- She's cooking in a real kitchen (her home kitchen!) with a regular, everyday stove.
- Like most home cooks, she uses a timer.
- She shows what it's really like to follow a recipe and what to do when you're not familiar with an ingredient.
- She points out where the recipe is lacking (assuming everyone has a scale, in this case).
- She shows how to recover gracefully from a mistake.
- She shows how to make decisions when the recipe is vague or unclear.
- She shows that you can not be sure about something (in this case, time and temperature) but to go ahead and do it anyway.
We hope Ms. Santopietro continues with these fun and informative videos!
6 Comments
This is a great video. And I got this book for Christmas, so it's great to see a recipe in action.
I agree about cooking temps and times though, and frankly, it's all about the individual ovens. My oven, despite the oven thermometer I bought which registers the correct temperature, always takes longer to cook. Especially on baked goods like bundt cakes and quiche.
I LOVED her videos when they were on NYTimes! I've been feeling sad every since they stopped appearing. It's great to know why that was (her current kitchen looks much nicer now) and that she's making new videos. I hope she keeps making new videos!
This video gives me hope that I will become a better cook, even with all the doubt and indecision I get every time I try to follow a new recipe. If even experienced chefs occasionally make mistakes or are confused, it means that I'm not alone!
I absolutely loved watching this video too. I hope we all get to see a lot more of Jill. (Hello cooking show!!)
I loved her videos on on the NYTimes! I'm so happy to hear that she is still making videos. Welcome to the Bay Area Jill!
This girl is great. Last week I saw her make Tangerine Sorbet. She's obviously very smart and talented but the way she talks and acts makes her seem like an airhead, which I think makes her approachable.

Please see the Career Prospects tab for more information. Overview Study Entry Features Careers Overview Taught by expert staff, you will acquire an impressive variety of transferable skills, as well as numerous theatre craft specialisms. Our drama courses allow you to study theatre and performance from a variety of academic and practical perspectives. From the very beginning of your degree, you will be immersed in dramatic literature, theatre history, modes of criticism and performance practice, as well as acquiring a detailed understanding of writing in English and a sophisticated awareness of the critical debates in the discipline. The rationale behind our course is to allow you as much opportunity as possible to combine academic and practical aspects of drama and English. You will become familiar with major periods of literary expression and with the principal forms of critical understanding. You can take advantage of the flexibility of the course, designing the structure around your personal interests. You can maintain a balance between performance, history and culture, or you can choose to concentrate on certain areas, emerging as a highly skilled critic, performer, writer, designer, technician or director. Whichever route you choose, you will leave Hull as a creative and reflective theatre practitioner with a thorough grounding in English from each of the phases of its development, from the medieval to the modern. The English programmes at Hull are characterised by the breadth of choice, with modules on offer from Medieval to contemporary literature. Options are available in linguistics, modern languages, creative writing and you may select from the university's range of 'free electives'. Teaching in English is informed and led by research, often drawing on the research interests of our academics. Our next Open Day Visit the University on one of our Open Days and find out about our award-winning student experience! Get dates, learn more about our Open Days & book your place Order prospectus and/or subject brochures Study In joint degrees, each subject figures equally, with the same number of modules from each subject. First year students take performance-orientated practical modules, plus lectures and seminars on critical approaches to theatre and contemporary and historical contexts of performance. There are three core English modules: English Landmark Texts, Introduction to Renaissance Literature and Introduction to Literary Studies. Second year students choose options from a range including everything from acting classes to lighting design, and Greek Tragedy to Modern British Theatre Companies. In your final year you develop skills in independent study, you take three options covering a range of aspects of theatre from different cultures and periods of theatre history to practical specialisms. The English aspect of the course allows you to choose your own selection of modules in the second and third years. The only limitation is that we require every student to read some pre-1800 and some post-1800 literature. All of this is complemented by a lecture course that examines acting, directing and scenography. Entry Three A levels: 280-320 tariff points IB Diploma: 28 points BTEC L3 Extended Diploma: DDM Access to HE Diploma: Pass with 45 credits at merit International students (language requirements) If your first language is not English, you will be required to provide acceptable evidence of your English language proficiency. [Learn more] Features Students engage with significant amounts of practical work (including public performances) which is assessed through practice based coursework. Guest artists are regularly invited to create work with students and to present masterclasses. Attendance at professional theatre performances is vital to our courses, and each year we host 'On the Edge', a touring programme of professional work by emerging companies from across the performing arts. The course has close links with the Scarborough campus which has a thriving arts festivals scene and is the permanent home of the annual National Student Drama Festival. Originally designed by Peter Moro Associates in the late 1960s, and now a listed building, the Gulbenkian Centre is an impressively-equipped Arts Complex with vast educational and artistic potential. The building contains a large, adaptable Theatre, as well as a versatile Studio Theatre. Both spaces allow for stage and auditorium to be arranged in any number of ways, according to the needs of individual productions. The Gulbenkian Centre also houses Academic Offices, a state-of-the-art Radio Studio, computer visualisation suite, video editing facilities, and generously accommodated Property Stores, Paintshop, Rehearsal Room, Wardrobe, Laundry, and Dressing Rooms. The Old Boiler House facility lies at the heart of the Department's design and construction curriculum and houses a state-of-the-art Design and Construction Workshop. The Old Boilerhouse Studio houses a Computer Assisted Design and Modelling Suite, a Scenography and Technical Design Studio, and an innovative Model Box Lighting Design Room. English literature programmes at the University of Hull are characterised by choice, especially in the second and third years. Our programmes are flexible, offering opportunities to study outside the discipline. Linguistics, modern languages and free electives are available at every level. Creative writing options, taught by published poets, novelists and biographers, are also available. English staff are highly research active. Many modules have developed from their research interests, bringing new insights into the subject as well as providing a thorough knowledge of literary history and the classics of literature in English. Several dissertation style modules are available, providing opportunities to study manuscript materials at the Hull History Centre as well as to carry out independent research in the third year on a topic under the supervision of a member of staff. The Department of English staff are actively involved in publishing articles and books in their research area. Experts in their field, they regularly organise and attend international conferences. These new research findings inform the teaching in the department and often inspire students to pursue a research career. Many of our PhD students over the last few years have stayed on in the Department, having begun their undergraduate or Masters career here. The English Department holds regular research seminars and annual lectures open to the public. Careers From the start of your course, a friendly team of experienced Careers Advisers, employer liaison and information staff are here to assist you, whether or not you have any firm ideas about the next step in your career. We run an extensive programme of events at our Hull and Scarborough campuses to develop your career awareness, helping you to explore opportunities, including employer talks and careers fairs. We offer one-to-one advice and guidance - a truly personal service - which supports you and your career plans - and you will have a named Careers Adviser for your subject. The Careers Service offers a range of services to assist you to develop the skills looked for by employers, including skills workshops, practice interviews and practice ability tests, and have extensive information, both web-based and in printed format, which is kept up to date with the latest job and work experience vacancies, and changes to recruitment processes. We maintain very close links with graduate employers, both on a local, regional, national and international level, so we can offer you the best advice available and work closely with academic colleagues and student committees to provide specific opportunities, information and events for your course. Many of our academic programmes offer you the opportunity to undertake an internship or work placement. One of the things that make our Careers Service stand out from those at other universities is that we continue to offer you careers services beyond your graduation. Once you have begun studying at Hull, we are here to guide you at any point of your studies or subsequent career. Our Careers Service was one of the first to be accredited against the new matrix standards. Matrix is the UK quality standard for advice, information and guidance services.

"How you can turn your back on a child in need? It's unacceptable, it's immoral," Llobell said. "What's the cost of not acting? What's the cost of not bringing this child out of the cocoon of autism?"
As for the Mainos, the family knew something was different with Robert, their older son, when he was 3 and in preschool. "We started getting calls saying he was very difficult to handle," his father, Ed Maino, said.
At first, he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Then when he was in second grade, a doctor with the Children's Hospital of Richmond was the first to say Robert was "classic Asperger's," Ed Maino recalled.
"It was the first time what the doctor was telling us made sense," he said.
His parents paid for a series of treatments and therapies to help Robert learn how to behave and interact with others. Most of it wasn't covered by insurance. His mother worked from home to be his advocate, maintaining close contact with his school.
Those years weren't easy. Treatment included constant discipline, and Robert hated being different from his classmates. The family even went through counseling for a time. But all the work paid off.
When he was in fifth grade, he went to a summer camp designed specifically for children with autism. For the first time, he belonged.
"I think what he realized was there are other people like him," Ed Maino said.
After school, Robert works with kids at the Dominion School for Autism in Richmond. He's interested in a career in technology or special education, or perhaps a combination of the two.
It was "overwhelming" to testify before the General Assembly and meet the legislators, he said.
He's quick not to take credit for the bill, crediting instead Autism Speaks and the Virginia Autism Project.
"I'm the person who helps make the point stronger," Robert Maino said.
"He happened to be the right person at the right place at the right time," Ed Maino said. "We strongly believe that because of early intervention, Robbie is who he is…. He was on a course that would not have been productive. He's a brilliant kid with brilliant opportunities."
About autism
Autism spectrum disorders are a group of developmental disabilities that range from mild to severe. Symptoms include impaired social interaction and repetitive movements.
Roughly one in every 110 children is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined, according to Autism Speaks, an advocacy group. That means there are potentially thousands of children in Virginia who have autism.
Government statistics suggest the prevalence rate of autism is increasing by 10 percent to 17 percent annually. It's more prevalent in boys than girls, and it's estimated that one out of 70 boys in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism.

I had very bad bags forming under my eyelids which made me look tired all the time. So after a few years of indecisiveness and research I found the a surgeon who specialized in facial surgery & who was trained in the USA, which is the Mecca for Cosmetic surgery. DR. JULIAN DE SILVA was the one surgeon I found to be most qualified in the UK for me to put my trust in. What also drew me to Dr De Silva amongst hundreds of other surgeons advertised on the Web was the passion he had for his work, as he saw it as an art form and enjoyed sculpting faces out of clay.
After having the first consultation and meeting Dr Julian De Silva I found myself at easy, as he and his staff are very welcoming and understanding.
When the day of the surgery came i was once again quite naturally nervous, but after a small talk and some minor sedation I hadn't a care in the world. During the Surgery I kept on falling in and out of sleep. I only felt a minor discomfort at one point during the surgery as I had some unexpected scar tissue which made the surgery a little more difficult for Dr De Silva, but the pain didn't last long.
After the surgery I went home and slept. When I awoke that day i felt fine. The tissue around my eyes felt tight and slightly sore.
The recovery period was very short and I was back at work after two weeks and I was exercising after two and a half weeks. The Surgery was a complete success, I look much more awake, there was hardly any pain during the surgery and after, I have no visible Scars and my eyesight is the same as before.
Dr Julian De Silva is an Excellent Facial Surgeon, I am very happy with the results and could not recommend anyone else.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you had a lower blepharoplasty, is that right?
Awesome! I would love to see before/after photos! Did you take any?
Dr Julian De Silva is very warm and welcoming nature. He is very professional without being too formal. He would ask why one would have the procedure and find out how you are effected by your problem emotionally.

About time. Now, when will the Giants get smart and fire Fewell?Maybe then we could get back to enjoying so good old fashioned Giants Cowboys defense slugfests.
Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 10/19/14
Brian Costello of the New York Post tweets that he just "heard" that the Dallas Cowboys have fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. Not sure if this is out there but I just heard the Cowboys have fired Rob Ryan. — Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) January 9, 2013 Dallas wouldn't go as far to say that he would be brought back next season, so there was a chance that he could be replaced. The Cowboys ranked 24th in points allowed last season, which is pretty surprising when you consider the kind of talent they have on defensive side of the ball.

Topics: Health Costs, Insurance, Medicaid, States
Jul 01, 2009
"Cuts to Medicaid benefits for hundreds of developmentally disabled people in Colorado take effect today, a move that will be devastating, caretakers and advocates say," The Gazette reports. "Annual payments for services such as transportation and work programs are being cut by at least half for about 700 Coloradans with developmental disabilities ... Others will lose a lesser percentage, but some stand to gain financial assistance, said Timothy Hall, deputy executive director for veterans and disability services for the Colorado Department of Human Services."
"The change was set into motion by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, which required that Colorado's reimbursement system be standardized after an audit found discrepancies in how Medicaid dollars were being spent." A new model "bases benefits on a person's level of disability" and "places limitations and caps on spending" (Kelley, 6/30). Colorado also "recovered more than $5.3 million in fraud settlements and restitution during the fiscal year ended June 30," according to Colorado Attorney General John Suthers, the Denver Business Journal reports. "The sum represented the most money the office has recovered since 1983" (6/30). In Louisiana, "Private health-care providers who treat Louisiana's poor are facing a $180 million cut in the government health insurance program that pays them," The Associated Press/Alexandria Town Talk reports. "The amount is far less than originally expected. But the cut's impact will be hard to measure until the state Department of Health and Hospitals drafts new rules" (7/1).

While the majority of attention continues to hinge on the Matt Garza trade rumors, there was a pair of roster news for the Cubs involving their outfield. One was the call up of prospect Junior Lake, who will be taking the place of the injured Brian Bogusevic. The left handed hitting Bogusevic is yet another center fielder health casualty, following the footsteps of David DeJesus and Ryan Sweeney.
Speaking of DeJesus, the Cubs lead off man has resumed baseball activities in Mesa, Arizona and may be on track to participate in Rookie League games. The next step after that could be a rehab stint in the upper minors before potentially coming off of the disabled list in a week or so. That would leave a handful of MLB games that DeJesus can play in ahead of the July 31st trade deadline.
DeJesus' name was on the list of veteran outfield depth targets for contending teams before he suffered a shoulder sprain in New York against the Mets back in June. The left handed center fielder was hitting .260 with a .318 OBP with 21 RBI in just 59 games played. DeJesus is also above average defensively and would be a solid fourth outfielder on a playoff team, if not in a starting role.
The Cubs hold a team option for 2014 with a $1.5 million buyout. DeJesus would be paid $6.5 million should the Cubs decide to keep him for next season. The decision on whether or not to trade DeJesus this July would hinge on several variables. The first obviously would be if teams that were rumored to be interested prior to his injury are still calling Theo Epstein about his center fielder right now.
Then the Cubs front office would have to weigh the low level prospect return against the void DeJesus' departure would leave. Related factors would involve evaluations of whether prospects like Lake, Brett Jackson, and Matt Szczur are ready to step in.
Also related to the above are the trade rumors involving fellow outfielders Alfonso Soriano and Nate Schierholtz. Soriano's name has been mentioned in the same sentence as the Rangers, and the slugger could be included as part of the Garza deal, with Texas supposedly leading the pack for the right handed pitcher's services. Schierholtz is in a similar boat with DeJesus, being able to provide contending teams with a left handed stick in the outfield that has some pop and can hold his own defensively.
Would Epstein and Jed Hoyer possibly unload their entire starting outfield before September? That remains to be seen, but paying DeJesus $6.5 million for 2014 is probably encouraging a parting of ways with the solid veteran.

Hi there Im just wondering if there is an error with the withdrawal system or if anyone else is experiencing a problem?
I see this in my withdrawal area
Withdrawal of all earnings at 31 Mar 2012 23:59:59 via Paypal. To be processed on 15-Apr-2012. when:25-Mar-2012
it is now April as I can see from the sale I just made…. now what normally happens is at the end of the month the total at the top goes to $0.00 but this is not the case it is still showing a figure.
