I've been slacking on my blogging (majorly!) but for good reason!
I've lost 42 pounds! I go to the gym 4-5 times a week, I eat right, and I sleep the right amount each night now!
I also started school last week, which (lucky for me) has NOT interfered with my gym routine.
I'm super stoked that I'm at my mini goal of "Under 230" by my birthday. I'm sticking to my healthy eating and working out... But on Friday, all bets are off for the day! I haven't given myself a true cheat day in a few weeks just so I would be able to have cake on my birthday and not feel guilty :)
Next, super easily attainable, mini goal: "Under 200" by Halloween! I'm sure I will hit that goal WAY early, but I want to have it set JUST in case.
I survived the first weekend of my new Lifestyle change! I went a tiny bit over my suggested Calorie intake on Saturday, but it was all veggies, so I don't feel too bad about it. Now if it had been on junk food I'd feel awful!
I didn't get to the gym like I had hoped, but that's ok. I was active! I walked the dogs twice as far as usual and twice a day versus just once.
I think, now that I have completed week one, I need to invest in a scale.... Time to start tracking the poundage lost!
So I know my goal is intense and I know that it's going to take a lot of work, but I'm up for the challenge!
I want to lose a lot of weight in 1 year and I know I can do it. Especially considering how unhealthy I am at this point. The changes will be pretty easy overall and the tracking is easy too.
My brain, however, is just not with it! Setting up my goal, it set 2 years to lose the weight. Nope, sorry! I want to do it in 1! So a few things have to change, but luckily I wasn't set on my routine yet.
Either way, it's the end of the first work week and I feel great. The true test is my weekends when I usually don't do anything. I think I will throw some gym time into my weekend somewhere. I'll probably still leave Sunday afternoon/evening as my "down time" as long as I get moving the rest of the weekend.
Went to the gym last night for the first time in years and I actually enjoyed myself. Seeing as how it has been forever and a day since I've done any excessive activity, I took it easy and just went for 30 minutes. And I kicked butt on the Elliptical and burned over 300 calories.
About 15 minutes into my workout, my legs started screaming at me to stop. And even though I was listening to music, I was chanting "mind over matter, mind over matter, mind over PAIN!" in my head. And it worked for me. At the 20 minute mark the pain had subsided and I was able to finish the originally planned time frame.
I'm pretty stoked. I know this is a slower process versus some fad diet, but this isn't a diet, its a lifestyle change. I'm re-training my mind and body to be healthy.
Can't wait to hit the gym again tomorrow night!
This is Day 1. A new beginning. Sure, I started eating healthier two days ago, but today I start going to the gym. Yikes!
I have to say, my biggest problem with losing weight and getting healthy is the beginning process. I hate that I'm fat, I've just been too lazy to do anything about it. I know I need to, which is why I am doing it now! I hate going to the gym because I am so self conscious. Luckily I have an amazing friend & neighbor to go with me now. She and I are going to start by going 3 x week. And probably stepping it up to 5x week.
I do have to be careful what I do at the gym due to a back injury. I plan on starting with basic cardio (I love me some elliptical time!) and then working up to what I know my back can handle.
So here I go, diving in head first. Wish me luck!

Cable television providers are scrambling to stay relevant during changing times, times in which streaming is king.
The number of people embracing streaming boxes like those offered by Roku, Apple, and Amazon is increasing. So is the number of people who are opting to forgo cable, relying solely on streaming media. These cord cutters have an ever-expanding range of content available to them, from on-demand movies and television shows to streaming music and video games. In an effort to stay competitive, cable provider Comcast is reportedly close to offering its own video game streaming service to customers.
According to Reuters, Comcast and video game giant Electronic Arts (EA) have been testing a service for two years that would stream video games to customers for a fee. The goal of the companies is to "make buying games as easy as ordering a pay-per-view movie," creating a new method of distribution, bypassing console and streaming device manufacturers. Comcast would reportedly make streaming video games available on its X1 Entertainment Operating System. This souped up cable box features apps, a DVR, and voice control, and is reportedly considered the most sophisticated box in the cable industry.
Most streaming boxes already offer video games, including Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon's recently released FireTV. Even Sony is getting into the video game streaming business with their upcoming PlayStation Now service. It will be interesting to see how Comcast fares against its competition.
In speculating about Comcast's streaming video game service, Geek.com opines, "It seems likely there will be day, week, and maybe even month-long payment options made available. Another cost you'd either have to, or want to incur in order to enjoy the games more is the purchase of a wireless controller."
Comcast and EA are reportedly close to reaching an agreement. If the deal goes through, time will tell if this ends up being a beneficial and worthwhile endeavor for both companies. As anyone who has watched on-demand movies via cable provider knows, it's not always the best experience. Gamers are unlikely to have the patience to endure an experience plagued by freezes and other glitches that unfortunately haunt other cable services.

text: The Tale of good things happening to bad people continued as I got to have an early morning (9am) board game play date! My guest had brought along High Noon Saloon and, being the gracious host I am, I played and was quickly shot down in a pool of bourbon. After we were warmed up, I presented him with the buffet of games I had dreamed about the night before. Out of those he selected the oft lauded Twilight Struggle. Learning from last time, I didn't bother letting Ben choose between powers and thrust the Red Menace on him. We played six full rounds with him getting a strong hold on Africa and the Middle East, but I ended it with a South American scoring at the beginning of the seventh. He picked up the game quite well and I am happy to report that we both used Realignment rolls, a first for this copy of the game. A quick break for barely-D grade fast food "beef" and we were back in action playing Hex. All that practice on LittleGolem is paying off, I tell you. I then explained Android: Netrunner to Ben for a Shaper (him) vs. Jinteki (me) match-up. Either I am getting better at explaining the rules (not the case) or Ben is a superbly intelligent human/bioroid/clone because before I knew it, I was down two points and he was throwing around Netrunner lingo like an old pro. He had a 1 in 5 chance to win the game on his final turn before I advanced and scored my third agenda to win 7-5. The morning's session was finished off with another bout in the High Noon Saloon where I faced off against both Brothers Karamazov. My school marm managed to dispatch two whippersnappers to be the only one to walk away on her own two feet, off into the sunset. Knowing that I may not even be done with gaming for the day, I count my blessings and wish you all a happy holiday season. Until next time! # High Noon Saloon twilight struggle Hex Android: Netrunner Netrunner Posted 1 year ago 2 notes View comments strangeprawn likes thisbitcheslovewiches likes thisludocracynow posted this View the discussion thread Blog comments powered by Disqus

Five Ways Newspapers Can Improve Online Ads
Anyone who has spoken to me about the current state of the news industry knows how much I'm against pay walls or charging micro-payments for news. It's a nice idea, but I just don't think it could ever work. And why do I think that? Because I don't know anyone (other than journalists) who would ever pay for online news.
The way I see it, we can continue to live in this bubble of pretending that people care enough about newspapers to pay for them online, or become realists and deal with models that do work, but just aren't working good enough right now.
First we must ask ourself one question; why don't online ads work? Why can't ad departments place a premium for online ads? Here is one reason:
Need I say more? Online ads suck. This was found by my colleague, Scot Hacker, from a reputable news radio station Web site. In fact, several eyetrack studies have actually shown that a person's gaze will avoid anything on the page that resembles an advertisement. They called "Banner Blindness" http://www.useit.com/alertbox/banner-blindness.html
The reason why I think online ads don't work is because newspapers are taking a print advertising model and applying it to the Internet. Sure, the advertisements animate now that they are online, but in my opinion that causes me to avoid them even more.
So what can we do about this issue? Innovate. Use the medium in ways that give users a better experience. Here are five ideas I've sketched out in my notebook.
Idea number 1: Send coupons to my cell phone
I never cut out coupons. I wish I did, but I don't. Boy what would I give to be able to send coupons from a Web site to my cell phone. To really make it work, you would have to make it really really easy to do.
There are probably lots of ways you could do it, but I envision a way to simply drag ads that are on a Website over a special bin placed on the side of the screen, which would collect all of deals I found interesting. Then with one click I could send them to my cell phone. No registration required, because all that would do is hamper the number of people using this service.
You could take this idea even further by making it possible to take the coupons that are on the cell phone and make them redeemable at the cash register when I purchase goods. I realize the complexity involved with this and the partnerships that newspapers would have for form with retailers; but the results could be big.
If I saw a sign at the cash register of my local grocery store that said "Look for our ads on YourNewspaper.com and send them to your cell phone" that's all the marketing I would need to give it a try.
Idea number 2: Database ads
Ads online could do so much more to provide a service than just display a brand name. With the Internet, the possibilities are endless. Why can't ads tell me something more about a business than just its name?
A display ad on a news Web site could tell me more about its inventory or allow me to make a reservation right from the ad.
Let people make reservations or appointments with the haircut place, the spa, or the chiropractor right from the ad. I truly believe online advertisers need to get out of this mindset of bargain tabloid-style ads that flash and basically annoy people, and start thinking about ways they can offer a service to the communities they serve.
Idea number 3: Local Yellow Pages
Everyone knows that the Yellow Pages were once the definitive guide to finding anything in a town. It's a shame the phone companies were the ones that came up with that idea years ago. The good news is that they really haven't translated well online, and are quickly losing the market to Google. Some people use yellow pages online, but not nearly as much as the phone company would like.
The problem is that they are taking the model of the phone book and shoveling it online. When I need something specific I don't search by the business name or the type of business I'm looking for; I simply type in what I need. I usually just search Amazon; because Amazon – unlike the YellowPages – searches by inventory not businesses. The other day I wanted to find a small audio mixer board. I know there are lots of vendors here in Berkeley that sell them, but Yellow Pages had no clue what I was talking about while Amazon returned a gigantic list of them from vendors all over the U.S.
Newspapers won't be able to compete on a national level with Amazon. But they could easily partner with local businesses and get updates on their local inventory to index on a MarketPlace-type Website.
The Lawrence Journal World is one of the few that are actually trying some thing similar with some positive results. They aren't indexing by inventory, but by keywords. So I could type Pizza and I might get lucky. The idea is that it's local, and that's where the newspaper's power lies.
Idea number 4: Marketplace (mini-Amazon)
Take the previous idea to the next level and the newspaper site could even serve as the venue for selling these goods. Right now both Yahoo and Google are doing this by helping to sell goods for businesses on their Web sites; however they are doing it on a national level. Too bad for the person that wants to buy it locally. This also eliminates businesses that provide services.
How neat would it be to schedule your next oil-change appointment on the newspaper Web site, or to book a gardner for the next time your on vacation? How about booking a haircut without calling on the phone?
There are untapped local markets all over the U.S. for selling goods online. Even Amazon realized at one point that they couldn't sell everything themselves. So they decided to sell it for people who already had the infrastructure in place. With the right staff, newspapers could tap into this market.
Idea number 5: Offering Small Business Web sites
Here is a statistic for you: Only 44% of small businesses have a Website.
To me that screams opportunity. To be fair, a few newspapers have tried offering hosting services with little success. I think they were trying to tap into a market that was already flooded with vendors and confused customers.
Small businesses want a simple solution to showcasing their business online. Most of the people probably don't know a lot about the Internet, and they probably don't want to spend a lot of time figuring it out. If newspapers could create a venue for this market, they would have more than just a business Web site, they would serve as an integral part of that business' online presence.
KISS: Keep it simple stupid
When I was in journalism school my professor had this acronym he would use about how to write a story. I think recently the tech market has finally started to wake up to the fact that people are confused about technology and they want things that are simple and easy to use.
I'm not convinced that Craigslist stole the classified market because it was free, I just think it was easier to use. I've tried placing classifieds in my local newspaper and figuring out all of their arcane rules and character count was like pulling teeth. I put up a Craigslist ad in less than five minutes.
Any newspaper wanting to try any of these ideas would have to adhere the this principle in my opinion.

"I generally work from original photographs* of subjects that I find visually appealing. I like to explore the colors and textures of objects at a macro level. My paintings typically feature close-up views of tiny objects; I am particularly drawn to toys, candies, and other often-overlooked detritus of our popular culture. I find that when you isolate and magnify small details from these otherwise insignificant objects, they reveal more than just their hidden beauty; the mere act of enlarging these items to thousands of times their natural size and rendering the detail in paint creates a distinctly absurd sense of comedy". - LJ Lindhurst

Dolly Parton Imagination Library
It sounds almost too simple to be true, but by reading regularly with your children during their preschool years, you are giving them the biggest boost toward a successful education they will ever get.
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library will help you read with your child. There are many reasons parents do not read to their child, but we can eliminate one of them. Every child will have books of their very own, at no cost to you, thanks to United Way of Northwest Arkansas, generous community sponsors and Dolly Parton. United Way of Northwest Arkansas (UWNWA) has launched its Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Northwest Arkansas program. Parents in Benton, Washington, Madison and McDonald counties can enroll their children under five years of age in the program. Through this program, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library mails one book a month, from birth to five years old, for free, to every enrolled child's home.
The Imagination Library began in 1996 when Dolly Parton decided to foster a love of reading in her county and to ensure that all children would have books, regardless of their family's income. The program was so successful that over time it expanded internationally.
- Be a resident of Benton, Washington, Madison, or McDonald Counties.
- Submit an official registration form, completely filled out by parent or guardian (form must be approved and on file with United Way of Northwest Arkansas).
- Notify United Way of Northwest Arkansas any time your address changes. Books are mailed to the address listed on the official registration form. If the child's address changes, you must contact your friends at the address on this brochure in order to continue receiving books.
- Read with your child.
Do you know an expecting parent or child under one year of age in Northwest Arkansas who is not receiving a children's book from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library? Give their parents a brochure or tell them about this web site. Encourage them to fill out the registration request and send it in. Telling them about this free program can make a huge difference in their child's future and the future of our community.
If you know of a business, organization, or individual who would like to donate funds to support this gift to your children, or sponsor a child, please tell them about this web site or send donations to United Way of Northwest Arkansas, 100 Parkwood Street Lowell, AR 72745
For more information call 479-750-1221.

A major art installation that uses film and 3-d installation to explore the industrial heritage of Derby is to be the inaugural exhibition at Derby's new £11.2 million arts centre, QUAD.
Jane & Louise Wilson, the world renowned artists celebrated for their experimentation with film, video and photography, will be unveiling the installation in time for the new centre's opening in Derby on Friday September 26 2008.
The duo has taken inspiration from Derby's industrial and cultural history and contemporary issues such as immigration in the city to create the installation. Studies of the industrial heritage of local factories, such as Rolls Royce, Smith of Derby and Bombardier were undertaken together with interviews of international migrants at the Bosnian Herzegovinian Centre in Derby.

Titled Spiteful of Dream, the work is typical of the Wilson's output, which frequently connects current concerns with the workings of the human psyche alongside site specificity.
For QUAD, who are promising a film and sculptural installation that will be the most impressive work yet for the internationally acclaimed artists, it is seen as the perfect opening statement for the new centre.
"The sister's sculptural use of moving images and the architectural nature of their installations provides the perfect combination of media for QUAD, a building intended as a focal point for contemporary art and moving image," explained Louise Clements, Curator at QUAD Derby.

When it opens QUAD will also be offering access to BFI Mediatheque, a digital jukebox available for the first time outside London giving users access to over 1000 films and television programmes.
In the run up to the opening of QUAD, international artist Bill Drummond was commissioned to create a new work called The17 involving 1,700+ local people.

Final preparations are underway for Saturday's Blossomtime Parade in St. Joseph and Benton Harbor.
The event has been a longstanding tradition of positive Michigan values, but this year it's become a platform for political upheaval.
"I guess I was kind of shocked," Blossomtime Festival President Anna Abdelnour said. "There might be some problems along the way, maybe some people will be unhappy, but I think all-in-all, the overall feeling will be just the same as it is every year."
The Blossomtime Festival dates back to 1906, until this year, the biggest police concern was a street vendor without a license.
"It's disappointing that they've chosen to take such a positive community event and put a negative aspect on it," said Chief Mark Clapp of the St. Joseph Police Department.
As the parade starts down Main Street in St. Joseph Saturday afternoon, an estimated 500 protesters will march from the Benton Harbor Public Library, fighting to pull a new state law off the books.
"Public Act IV needs to be repealed. I think any individuals such as Pscholka, they need to be recalled. I mean if they think it's fine that they can appoint an individual to come in and fire elected officials, then they should be fired as well," John Waltz said with the Heartland Revolution.
Half a dozen local and statewide political groups say the parade isn't their focus, but instead, who is in the parade. That includes politicians like Gov. Rick Snyder (R), Rep. Fred Upton (R) and State Rep. Al Pscholka (R), all who support the state's takeover of Benton Harbor.
After marching through Benton Harbor, protesters plans to cross the Bicentennial Bridge. Police are now reviewing those plans to make sure First Amendment rights don't come in the way of a prized event.
A recent poll conducted by a Chicago-based research company found that 50 percent of Benton Harbor residents approve of state-appointed emergency financial manager Joseph Harris.
As of Thursday, State Rep. Al Pscholka had withdrawn from the parade. However, Gov. Rick Snyder (R) and Rep. Fred Upton (R) will still participate.

According to Sportingnews.com, the Kansas City Chiefs will try to trade up in the 2012 NFL Draft in order to select USC OT Matt Kalil if he slips past the Minnesota Vikings at #4.
If Kalil isn't selected by the Vikings, our sources tell us the Chiefs (who own the 11th overall pick) will attempt to trade up to obtain him. Kansas City recently signed former Texan Eric Winston to play right tackle and have 2008 first-round pick Branden Albert at left tackle. Albert is solid but not great and has only one year remaining on his contract. In 2012, Kalil could take over at left tackle, which would allow the Chiefs to move Albert to guard.
I am not sure I buy this. There are just too many reasons why it doesn't make sense.
For starters, Branden Albert is a good left tackle. Is he a Pro Bowler? No. Is he middle of the pack? Yes.
As far as I am concerned, that fact along makes Albert very valuable to the Chiefs. When his contract is up, the team should be able to sign him to a favorable deal. Unless he has a breakout All-Pro season in 2012, he shouldn't be asking for insane amounts of money. The Chiefs should be able to re-sign him without too much trouble.
As for moving Albert to guard, Scott Pioli has had three years to do that and he hasn't. When Pioli arrived in KC in 2009, the offensive line was a mess. He has spent the last couple of drafts strengthening the interior by drafting Jon Asamoah and Rodney Hudson. He also went out in free agency and brought in Ryan Lilja and Eric Winston. LT has been dead last on Pioli's offensive line priority list since he got to Kansas City and now we are suddenly supposed to believe he is going to trade multiple picks to move up and select Kalil?
I suppose anything is possible. Pioli didn't draft Albert and while he has seemed content with Branden at the LT position since 2009 that doesn't mean he wouldn't like to upgrade.
That being said, I simply don't think it makes sense for the Chiefs to move up for any position other than QB in the first round. KC has a good player and Albert and can pick up a very good player at #11. The Chiefs are talented but they aren't particularly deep. Giving up multiple picks for a position that is already pretty well in hand doesn't seem to be a smart move.
What do you think, Addicts? Is moving from #11 to #5 for a tackle something Pioli would do?

KATYN, showing Friday and Saturday, marks a stunning return to form for Poland's pre-eminent filmmaker Andrzej Wajda. Wajda, who is now 83, directed his first feature over 55 years ago and is especially celebrated for his muscular historical epics. Joaquin Phoenix may be a goofball on late-night talk shows, but he really can act. And he's never been better than he is as an unstable loner torn between two different women in James Gray's brooding love story TWO LOVERS, showing Saturday night. George Roy Hill directed three of Paul Newman's most celebrated and beloved movies: "Butch Cassidy" (showing next weekend), "The Sting," and SLAP SHOT, showing Friday and Sunday in a new 35mm color print. You have only two more chances to catch a movie by Hungary's remarkable, singular master filmmaker Miklos Jancso. SILENCE AND CRY, showing Saturday and Sunday.

Hello, can someone tell me where I can get (rent-view) the new 35mm color print copy of the movie Slap Shot. Would like to show it for a charity event. We work with the Hanson Brothers. Someone please help! Thank you!

Cold has once again pushed the water temps down below the 70 degree mark, and is throwing the trout bite into a tailspin.
Add to the equation the wind-blown water so dirty that you can't see an inch deep and it all adds up to some challenging fishing.
My thinking is to use bright colors that make lots of noise. It is going to take a few days of steady weather for things to return to normal.
Well, I don't have to give any personal reasons but I think we are left holding the political bag with the Presidential candidates. Actually we really don't have any.
What I'd like to see happen is a revamp of the whole primary mess. Throw those candidates out and let's start over. At least we would have a chance at something worthwhile.
Right now as far as I'm concerned, we don't have any viable candidates.
We are in changing times as evidenced by our economy, and it is the past regime that has put us there. So, for sure most of us do not want more of the same.
Email has been called the first "killer app," or killer application of the Internet, although we can actually trace its roots further back, to Local Area Networks. Email over the Internet has brought us the ability to send a message to anyone, anywhere in the world in seconds at practically no cost. It is, without a doubt, the single most-used feature of the Internet.
It was April. The air was still cool. Winters here are only so cold and it seemed that was hanging around for a while. April came early that year. With Mom and Dad in Dunnellon, important holidays, were easy to plan. Do they come to the Cedar Keys? Do we go there? Easter was approaching. Mom usually left her pain and her health problems behind when she got out for a while. We asked them to our house. Easter was set.
"Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." (1 John 4:11-12 NIV)
The 44th Annual Old Florida Celebration of the Arts in Cedar Key got a break from the weather and welcomed delighted crowds once again.
Anecdotal reports had crowd counts slightly below last year's monster turnout, but given the conflicts of UF spring football, the threat of inclement weather and the trying economy, attendance was very good.
Food vendors in City Park reported sellout or near-sellout sales, as visitors elbowed their way down 2nd Street toward the grassy play area.
"There was never a time when I wasn't making art."
Letitia Lee says she's been doing art professionally for five years, but she's been an artist "since my mom first fed me applesauce."
The Hampton, Va. Native says she drew, sketched or painted at every opportunity growing up, using whatever tools were available with her family's limited budget. That method hasn't changed - in fact, Lee says she often lets her mood dictate the medium and theme of her work.
"First you should find something you really like to do. Then later you should work to refine your technique."
Fiber weaving artist Jean Yao tells young artists that the most important thing they can do is find a form or expression they love to work with. Once they find something they love, they'll find a way to get good at the execution.
Yao, born in Taiwan and trained in Japan in the art of ikebana - flower arranging - says she came to her present media of weaving palm fiber baskets out of the necessity of finding a medium she could work in.
Sharks Track and Field will send six athletes to next week's regional meet at Jacksonville's Bolles High School after some outstanding individual performances at Monday's district meet at Oak Hall.
The meet was marred by the injuries of Cedar Key's Hunter Cannon and Shawna Fenton in unrelated accidents over the weekend. Fenton was able to compete, albeit limited by back pain, but Cannon's injuries are more serious.
Sharks baseball put together another big win against 2A St. John Lutheran Ocala, coming back from a two-run deficit early on to make a decisive 7-3 finish. They got a huge boost in the fifth inning from a three-run homer by Evan Lyons.
"We started off down two," said Sharks' head coach Joe Bishop. "But then we got a run and got everything started."

REALLY easy Buche de Noel recipe
- d
- Diane in Bexley Dec 6, 2005 02:50 PM
My daughter takes French in high school and the teacher is offering quite a few bonus points if the kids bring in a Buche de Noel. You will get points detracted if it comes from a bakery, so it has to be homemade. My daughter and I are planning to make this Sun 12-11 for presentation on Thurs 12-15. Does anyone have any EASY recipes? I have never made a jelly roll in my life and that what I am thinking is involved here. Once we make it, can we freeze it or how can we keep it till Thurs? We will need all day Sunday and Idon't have time during the week. Thanks in advance for any help!
I would get a copy of Julia Child's The Way to Cook and follow the directions. She is very thorough and explains the steps well. There are good pictures too. If you don't own it your library probably has a copy.
You could make the sponge cake on Sunday and then roll it and wrap it very tightly in plastic (rolled) and refrigerate. You can also freeze it but be sure to allow at least an hour or so to defrost otherwise the cake will break. Before removing from the jelly roll pan read her instructions on trimming the cake and how to roll it.
Making the bouche is not difficult it is just a rolled filled sponge cake. The fiddly stuff comes with the decorations.
re: Candy
I agree re: Julia Child - that's the recipe I've always used. If you go with that, read it through a couple of times - it is pretty straightforward, and her tips about how to get the jelly roll set up to get it out of the pan, filled and rolled work perfectly, but you should follow the directions carefully in terms of the parchment paper lining etc. Don't worry if it cracks a bit when you roll it up, since it's going to get covered with icing anyway. Good luck! Making the meringue mushrooms is fun - but only if you have the time. I serve mine on a platter with cocoa sprinkled for dirt around the cake and on the mushrooms, then at the last minute I sprinkle on icing sugar through a sieve for "snow".
I would suggest that you fill the roll fresh - it's easiest that way - and then give it a crumb coat and freeze. Thaw out in the fridge the day before and do the final frosting once thawed. Julia's recipe is fine, but any decent jelly roll recipe will do. The frosting is easy because you don't have to get it smooth - roughlike bark is preferred. If you can find holly or mushroom-shaped candies, rather than making your own, you'll save time. Otherwise, use marzipan (a good job for your daughter). Those can be made n the weekend and stored in a tupperware until you've frosted the log and are ready to finish it off.
Think carefully about a box or carrier for transport.
It seems crazy to offer points for a real class for this sort of thing, but I guess schools haven't gotten any saner since I was in them.
I know that Sandra Lee is a persona non grata on this board (which I completely understand...), but it just happens that she did a semi-homemade buche de noel recently. I don't know if this counts, but I think she bought the jelly roll and then just frostec/decorated it herself... Depends on how much you want to push the teacher's limits. At the very least, she did have a good idea for decorations - if you stack a hershey's kiss on top of a mini marshmallow, it looks like a mushroom, use a toothpick to keep it all together and attach it to the log. Good luck!
re: Jellybelly
It is a frosted jelly roll and nothing more. If I were the teacher I'd take away points for that one. Ugh!
re: Jellybelly
Chocolate meringues from Trader Joes make good looking tree ears or fungus when placed on edge into the frosting.
A short cut shown on FoodTV 'secret life' program, was to build up the log from strips of cake laid in a cylindrical mold (half of a length of plastic pipe). This bypassed some of the complications of rolling the cake.
I saw a REALLY easy buche recipe this year that is a version of the "cake" made with chocolate wafer cookies and whipped cream. Just stack them together and put a smaller stack on the side for the branch. Then "frost" with whipped cream with a bit of cocoa added for color. The Nabisco web site probably has the details. You can make the little mushrooms out of non-pariels and Hershey's kisses, connected with a bit of melted chocolate.
its really not that hard, tho the last time I tried, my oven thermostat went out and burnt the sponge cake part to a cinder. It is a sponge cake filled and frosted with buttercream icing - takes about a dozen eggs, separated, whites for the cake, yolk for the icing. While you are baking the cake, you can make the icing (I do mocha inside and add chocolate for the "bark". Spread the filling over the cake when cool, then roll it up and frost with the outer layer. You can do the trim off part of the end to create a branch thing, furrow the surfae with a fork, make rings on the end etc. If you skip the meringue mushrooms etc. its a pretty quick job, and with buttercream it keeps well in the refrig.
Just make sure you take your cake home and eat it after the teacher gets a gander its too good for her!
WOW! I feel much more confident. I will get the Julia Child recipe and use that. My game plan is to make the sponge cake on Sunday, roll and refrigerate. I can make the buttercream Sunday and refrigerate as well. As for transportation, I save the 1/4 sheet box and cake plate from a recent Bday cake and will use that. My kids think Sandra Lee is a modern day grown up version of Barbie and she makes plastic food, we all agreed we could not do her version. Thanks for everyone's ideas. We will let you know next week how many bonus points she gets!
Sarah Moulton had Nick Malgieri on her show to do a buche de noel. I am thinking about giving it a try for a party this weekend.
What do you guys think? Too complicated? I don't have a stand mixer which is my biggest concern.

Caterpillar Inc. (CAT:US), the largest maker of construction and mining equipment, raised its full-year profit forecast as increasing demand from North American builders and overseas miners bucks an economic slowdown.
Earnings will be about $9.60 a share in 2012, up from a previous forecast of $9.50, the Peoria, Illinois-based company said today in a statement. That tops the $9.54 average of 21 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Caterpillar also narrowed its projected range for sales to $68 billion to $70 billion, from $68 billion to $72 billion forecast in April, citing "weaker economic conditions" and the stronger dollar.
Caterpillar, considered a U.S. economic bellwether, is selling more excavators, scrapers and dozers even as it sees a slowdown in some of its largest markets. Machinery sales are climbing as developed countries replace aging equipment and U.S. construction spending gains, rising 11 percent through May from an 11-year low in February last year.
"This is a positive surprise that Caterpillar is so constructive on the outlook given the macro uncertainty," Larry De Maria, a New York-based analyst for William Blair & Co. who recommends buying the shares, said today in an interview. "The company is executing exceptionally well."
Caterpillar rose 1.5 percent to $82.66 at 2:12 p.m. in New York, paring earlier gains of as much as 4.9 percent.
Share buybacks are "not on our radar," Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Doug Oberhelman said on a conference call. Chief Financial Officer Ed Rapp also said on the call he would be disappointed if the company couldn't reduce inventories by $1 billion by the year-end.
Profit Beats
Dealer inventories of new machines rose by about $300 million in the quarter. Chinese inventories are being cut back after demand there slowed. Oberhelman said he doesn't want to make a "bold" reduction in China so that Caterpillar has too few machines in the country when demand rebounds.
Investors are concerned that Caterpillar is building up too much inventory "that will hurt them if things get worse," De Maria said in a separate e-mail.
Net income for the second quarter rose to a record $1.7 billion, or $2.54 a share, from $1.02 billion, or $1.52, a year earlier. Profit was more than the $2.28 average of 20 estimates (CAT:US) compiled by Bloomberg.
Sales gained 22 percent to $17.4 billion from $14.2 billion, compared with the $17 billion average of 14 analysts' estimates.
Caterpillar said it also narrowed its sales forecast because of about $1 billion of "negative currency impacts." The euro has fallen 15 percent against the dollar in the past 12 months while the British pound has dropped 4.8 percent.
Global Forecast
The company said global economic growth will average 2.5 percent this year, lower than the expansion of more than 3 percent it forecast in April.
"We understand the world is facing economic challenges, and if it becomes necessary, we are prepared to act quickly as we did in late 2008 and 2009," Oberhelman said in the statement.
"While we're prepared, the good news is, this doesn't feel like 2008," he said. "Interest rates are low, central banks are prepared to inject more liquidity if needed, and housing is coming off lows."
Caterpillar's increase in its full-year earnings forecast comes after at least nine analysts in the last four weeks lowered their profit estimates.

Here's a recap of our City By City report from Friday, Dec. 6, 2013:
Goshen has named its small business of the year. According to our reporting partners at the Elkhart Truth, Woldruff's Footwear and Apparel won this year's honor for their great customer service, their involvement with Kiwanis Club, and their downtown promotional efforts. The company has been in business for 21 years.
A fundraiser happening Friday will give a family a memorial for their teen daughter, who went missing more than a year ago. Aurora Shoemaker's remains were found this fall. A silent auction and bake sale in her honor runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kosciusko County Fairgrounds.
There's a free holiday light display going on at Central Park in Warsaw. You can check out more than 200,000 lights from 4 p.m. to midnight starting Friday through December 31st. There will also be holiday music to get your family in the spirit.
Children are invited to "Bounce for Boo" Friday. According to 1050 The Chief, it's a benefit for 5-year-old Marcelino "Boo" Linder, who is living with a rare childhood cancer. For $2, children can bounce in the bounce house. The benefit runs from 9 a.m. to noon at Menominee Elementary School.
St. Joseph County
The Salvation Army is getting worried about meeting their fundraising goal. They say the shorter time between Thanksgiving and Christmas has left them less time to raise money. This year, they plan to help 1,000 families in the county. Their goal is to raise $360,000. To help, they ask that when you see a red kettle, you give generously if you are able.
A Mishawaka police officer has received the mayor's lifesaving award for saving a child. Back in August, a four-year-old wouldn't wake up from a nap at a daycare. Corporal Jennifer Wilson immediately performed CPR before paramedics arrived. The child eventually made a full recovery.
Notre Dame
Former Irish basketball star Skylar Diggins received a special honor this week. She was named the Sportswoman of the Year by the March of Dimes New York division at its 30th anniversary sports luncheon on Wednesday. Longtime New York Yankees great Mariano Rivera was named Sportsman of the Year.
The city is celebrating a day of giving from noon to 7 p.m. Friday. You can donate a toy for Toys for Tots as well as adult clothing items, non-perishable food items, toiletries, pajamas for kids, and items for babies like diapers and wipes. They also need items for veterans. We have more details on the Big Red Bar. The donations will help people in need in Berrien and Cass counties.
Remember, you can always send us your ideas for our city by city report to 16 Morning News at WNDU.com.

Truck crops benefit consumers
ncreased consumer interest is positively impacting producers of Mississippi's truck crops, which include fruits, vegetables, nuts and flowers.
Rick Snyder, vegetable specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said the rapid growth of the local foods movement has increased demand for truck crops.
"With farmers' markets in nearly every county of Mississippi, producers no longer have to travel far to find an outlet for their produce," Snyder said. "Some growers sell at two, three or more markets each week.

Hey, I work with the CheapOair travel blog (cheapoair.typepad.com) and we're interested in having you guest blog for us. Please contact me if you're interested. Thanks! Aldo.
Hi there, Ive been writing a paper on the sustainably of the LLC model for university and I have referenced some articles from the blog. I have found it to be an excellent source of up to date information regarding the subject and I would like to thank you.
Is it possible that I could ask yourself a few questions regarding your opinion on the LLC model, perhaps over phone. I will of course give you full credit within the research paper.
Hi thought to inform you of this
kindest regards

RyanairDontCare Campaign.
Hey ,
I am from Hungary I do follow aviation news daily, having written my thesis about it and born to a pilot family. It was quite interesting that last week Ryanair announced its intention to enter the Polish market dominated by Wizz Air on a low cost territory. I am personally proud of the performance of Wizz Air as we are kind of short of success stories like this in Hungary. For me it is no question, that Wizz executives are having dreamless nights now. I have been thinking what should Wizz Air do, and at the end I arrived to the point that one of the most obvious move would be to merge with someone , and I would say the best would be Vueling (same airplane, iberia seems to let vueling go by iberia express, wizz air has lot of plane orders, better costs after merging, and almost perfectly matching network, also as vueling is listed, it could pay with shares for wizz air.) I know some pilot for wizz, they told me that the owners(indigo) has started to look for their returns already, so it could be a good exit for them. They already have two bankrupted airline (Avianova and Mandala) Ok their strategy may not be the same, but as no one knows the financial situation of Wizz , after a heavy attack from ryanair ,I have doubts how long it could make money if it does already. I am planning to write an article about I just would like your opinion about it.
Have a nice day:
My name is Lucian Preda and I am writing you on behalf of LowCostRoutes. I found your website http://airobserver.wordpress.com/2009/09/18/southwest-and-ryanair-fake-twins-their-future-part-iii/ while searching for interesting travel websites. I think that there is high compatibility between the niche your site is in and the niche my site is in. Therefore, I would like to ask you if you could recommend my website to your visitors in some way (an article, a review, the resource section, or anywhere else you consider suitable) and maybe place a link to my website. I would highly appreciate it.
I see that the website http://www.whichbudget.com got a link from the above mentioned page of your website. Is there any possibility that you could award us a place on your website as well? I am not asking to be on any specific page, I am only hoping that my website could get a space somewhere on your website.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and if you are willing to consider my request.
Thank you for your time.
Have a nice day,

Hello dear Airobserver,
recently I came across your blog trying to research a bit about Ryanair. They are supposed to start flying to Montenegro soon, so I am making a TV report about it. If you are interested, please contact me.
Dear Sir,
I am the English editor of the science periodical 'Academia', in Bolzano Italy. We would like to use the Ryan Air photo on your home page to run with an article on LCCs. Is this possible, and how might we credit the photo?

Would you be interested in a partnership? I'm one of the admins for OneTravel.com, and we're looking to partner with like-minded travel websites to help our online marketing efforts.
If you agree to this partnership, in exchange for a link to our OneTravel.com website, we'll offer you a link from one of our sister sites—none of which share the same hosting plan or IP address with each other.

Let us know if you're interested. We can also offer you a testimonial, product review, or a guest blog post.
Thanks and talk soon,
Superb, what a website it is! This web site provides
valuable data to us, keep it up.
Hi, I'm a journalist at the Mail On Sunday. Be good to discuss a story with you. Can you send me your details?
Thanks, Amy
I've been keeping up with your site for a while and I've been really enjoying some of your posts. I was wondering if you accept guest posts?
I have a guest post suggestion, entitled "A guide to plane spotting". If you're interested about this guest post, please email me back and I'll happily send it over to you.
Best wishes,
Not sure if you've seen this departure from Ryanair: https://twitter.com/IrishFilmBoard/status/481754159130353664
Nothing to do with Ryanair but I'm hoping you might be able to help. I'm a retired RAF flier and a very keen bird watcher doing just that in central Spain a short time ago. I witnessed the nearest thing to a self-inflicted disaster and am unable to find any way of communicating with the Spanish Air Force to offer a Flight Safety comment – any suggestions?
Thanks, AO, message sent, to see a jet trainer at about 150 feet flying through a colony of vultures is a bit buttock-clenching, even as a witness, but they were lucky.

The Connecticut Department of Labor has issued stop work orders against eight companies building a Trinity College dormitory on Crescent Street after those companies could not provide records proving they were paying into the worker's compensation system.
Five of the firms are based in Massachusetts, two in Maine and one in New Hampshire. The department's Division of Wage and Workplace Standards said the companies also didn't have paperwork that showed they're registered to do business in Connecticut.
The inspection was done Wednesday, and the stop orders were publicized Thursday.
Because the companies could not show they were paying into worker's comp, officials suspect workers are wrongly being classified as independent contractors. If the department ultimately makes that determination, the companies will owe $300 for each day of work on the job.
Hiring someone as an independent contractor saves a company on Social Security contributions, unemployment insurance and workman's comp.
"Unfortunately, when an employer fails to properly recognize workers as employees of their company, often they are trying to avoid providing certain protections, such as workers' compensation," said Commissioner Sharon Palmer. "When an employer fails to pay for the proper coverage for injuries suffered on the job and a worker gets hurt, we all lose, since the state's taxpayers ultimately foot the bill."
