PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/05/12 -- The Anita Borg Institute (ABI), a non-profit organization focused on the advancement of women in the high-tech industry, today announced two new Board of Trustees members, Marie Wieck, General Manager of Application Integration Middleware (AIM) at IBM, and Peter Griffiths, Executive Vice President and Group Executive of Enterprise Solutions and Technology Group at CA Technologies. As members of ABI's Board of Trustees, Wieck and Griffiths will help ABI promote the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in technology. They join a board of esteemed members including executives, academics, and students from leading technology companies and academic institutions.
"ABI succeeds because of the combined knowledge, vision and commitment of technology leaders like Marie Wieck and Peter Griffiths," said Telle Whitney, ABI's president and CEO. "We know that businesses with diverse teams that include both women and men deliver more innovation and better business results in today's global business environment. We are committed to attracting more women to the highly rewarding and growing number of careers in computer science and engineering. Peter and Marie's direct involvement in our Board will help us continue to advance a new generation of women in technology."
As General Manager of AIM, Marie Wieck has responsibility for IBM's WebSphere software portfolio. She leads a worldwide team helping enterprise clients achieve business advantage from mobile, web, cloud, integration and business process management solutions. She has over 25 years of IT experience in hardware, software and services. IBM has demonstrated decades of commitment to addressing the specific needs of women, and to creating work/life and career development programs that address those needs. The use of these services leads to more effective and productive employees who will contribute their best to the corporation.
Wieck is passionate about women in technology and work/life integration. She is a member of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the National Association of Female Executives (NAFE) Roundtable, MentorNet, and the co-chairperson of IBM's Global Work/Life Council. She won the SWE Work/Life Balance Award in 2005 and the President's Citation from The Cooper Union for her contributions to technology. Wieck holds an M.B.A. from New York University, an M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University, and a B.S. in Engineering from The Cooper Union.
"It is a privilege to serve on the Board of Trustees for the Anita Borg Institute," said Wieck. "IBM recognizes the importance that a women's perspective brings to technology innovation, and programs like the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing and the Systers community help recruit and promote women in technical career paths. I look forward to contributing to these initiatives and working closely with this great team."
In addition to Wieck, ABI also appointed Peter Griffiths to its Board of Trustees. As a Group
Executive at CA Technologies, Peter Griffiths manages a broad portfolio of products and solutions for enterprise and growth markets. He oversees a world-class global community that combines research, development, product management and solutions engineering to drive company leadership in Security, Enterprise Management, and IT Management-as-a-Service. Griffiths is an advocate for women in the technology industry and has worked closely with ABI to help further programs for women in the field. Griffiths earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Brighton University in England.
"Greater involvement of women in technology is an incredibly important factor in driving growth and development in the IT industry and society at large. This is not just an issue for women, but something that requires engagement from everyone -- at all levels," said Griffiths. "At CA Technologies, we are committed to the advancement of women in technology. As one of the newest members on the Anita Borg Institute's Board, I hope to further their mission of helping expand opportunities for women in this industry."

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

Exodus! Four more - including keeper and captain - turn their back on newco Rangers
Rangers captain Steven Davis and goalkeeper Allan McGregor have taken the Ibrox exodus into overdrive by refusing to transfer their contracts to Charles Green's newco.
The snub from two of the squad's biggest assets delivered another huge blow to the new incarnation of the club and came on the day when striker Kyle Lafferty and Jamie Ness also declined to join up.
Sportsmail understands that John Fleck could become the ninth player to use TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings, Protection of Employment) legislation to exit within the next 24 hours.
Looking to the future: Allan McGregor has rejected the contract switch to newco Rangers
The only slivers of good news for the
newco on another bruising day came when left-back Lee Wallace committed
his future to Ibrox — and the agent of Dorin Goian told Sportsmail the
Romanian defender would be willing to play in the First Division.
But the revelation that Davis —
wanted by Southampton — and McGregor intend to walk away comes as
another punishing set-back, just 24 hours after it became clear SPL
clubs would block the new Rangers from next season's top flight.
A statement from lawyer Margaret Gribbon of Bridge Litigation confirmed the four latest exits.
'This has been an extremely difficult
period for all the players and, in the end, their decisions were
influenced largely by footballing considerations,' she said.
'SPL football appears highly unlikely
and even First Division football cannot be guaranteed in light of
comments made today by two First Division clubs.
'The players' commitment and loyalty
to oldco Rangers cannot be questioned; they voluntarily took significant
wage cuts in a genuine act of solidarity, which ensured that none of
the playing squad or club staff would lose their jobs.
Steering clear: Steven Davis has also chosen to seek pastures new
'But for their contribution, it's likely that the club would not have survived until the end of the season.
'As professional footballers, the
players' careers are relatively short-lived and they are entitled to
exercise basic employment rights the law affords to all under the TUPE
'I now expect the SFA and Fifa to
interpret their rules and regulations in accordance with the TUPE
legislation so that the players' registrations can be released without
Davis later released a statement,
himself, saying: 'Only those that know me will know how much Rangers
mean to me. I am 27 and I hope you all understand I need to be playing
at the highest level possible. Hopefully, I've repaid everyone by
playing my part in teams that have won eight trophies & a European
final in my years at Rangers.'
Steven Naismith, Steven Whittaker,
Sone Aluko and Rhys McCabe had all previously signalled their opposition
to contracts being switched from the 'old' Rangers — soon to be
liquidated — to Green's Sevco consortium.
The Ibrox chief executive has claimed
he will sue the exiting players and any clubs they join as he does not
believe they are free agents, while manager Ally McCoist has insisted
those departing must be 'honest' about their reasons.
Put on the spot: Kyle Lafferty has joined the list of players who want out
PFA Scotland, however, are adamant
about their legal advice that the players can leave without any question
of compensation. Sources also claim that the squad remain puzzled about
why Green has yet to directly call any player.
Fleck could be next to go. The Murray Park graduate is willing to avoid the TUPE route if Green grants him a free transfer.
With interest in him in England, the newco could eventually benefit financially from a sell-on clause. If Green turns down Fleck's request, then it is believed he will walk anyway under TUPE.
Further fixture difficulties for
Rangers emerged last night when Southampton announced they would replace
McCoist's side with Anderlecht in next month's pre-season Markus
Liebherr Memorial Cup, which will also feature Arsenal.
'The decision has been reached with
the integrity of the competition in mind, ensuring that the annual event
will remain an extremely competitive experience with both Arsenal and
Anderlecht bringing a first-team squad,' said the newly-promoted Premier
League club.
Lifted out of it: Jamie Ness wants no part in the bleak future at Ibrox
Training is set to resume tomorrow for most of what remains of a severely depleted Rangers squad.
Wallace will be there, as will Lee
McCulloch — the first to insist he would not leave. Goian also intends
to be back on July 9 after an extended break granted for his
international commitments.
Provided his current contract
continues to be honoured, the Romanian international centre-back is
prepared to help the new incarnation of the Ibrox club fight their way
back to the SPL if a league restructuring plan delivers them to the
First Division.
Dark clouds: Rangers continue to suffer setbacks in their bid to be reborn
'I had a discussion with Dorin a
couple of days ago,' agent Florin Manea told Sportsmail. 'The people at
Rangers have assured us that the contract will remain the same. If the
club is doing this for us, then Dorin doesn't have a problem staying at
Rangers — even if they go to the second league.'
Wallace issued a statement insisting he was staying put for family reasons and to repay fans for their support.
Meanwhile, the SFA have given Green
until Friday to provide details of his application for membership — a
pre-requisite for playing in any of the top four divisions.
Green has yet to furnish the governing body with full details of his company.

It is mayhem in the streets of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, as thousands of protesters fight for closer ties to the European Union.
The fight has been going on since November. But early Tuesday morning, protesters set the capital's central square on fire. Several protesters and police officers have since died.
"It really saddens me to see those tragic pictures coming from Kiev from other cities of Ukraine and how people are being chased out by the police, beaten up and even killed on the streets," said Pastor Andriy Rabiy of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church.
Rabiy's father and mother still live in Ukraine and he says many people felt betrayed when the Ukrainian president reversed a decision to sign a trade agreement with the European Union and instead turned to Russia.
"Those people did not come out for any grand idea but the idea of freedom and personal rights, something they are being denied right now as we speak," said Rabiy.
Rabiy says the Ukrainian community in Berks County is very concerned about the violence. It held an overnight vigil to offer prayers and support for the people over there.
"I do hope and pray that they are going to find peaceful resolution very quick as long as there is a will to do that," said Rabiy.
According to CNN, 21 people have been killed including seven police officers.
Vice President Joe Biden has called Ukraine's president to express "grave concern" about the violence. He also called on Ukraine's president to pull back government forces and exercise restraint.

CenterState Banks Inc. signed a definitive agreement to acquire Gulfstream Bancshares Inc., the parent company of Gulfstream Business Bank.
The cash-and-stock deal is valued at about $76.9 million, a statement said.
Gulfstream, headquartered in Stuart, has about $573 million in assets and four locations in Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Jupiter and Delray Beach.
CenterState was seen as a likely suitor when Gulfstream put itself up for sale earlier this year, according to a Bloomberg report.
CenterState (NASDAQ: CSLF), headquartered in Davenport and with 55 CenterState Bank of Florida locations across the central part of the state, would have $2.9 billion in assets and become one of the largest Florida-based community banks after the deal closes, the statement said.
Gulfstream shareholders would receive 3.012 shares of CenterState stock, and $14.65 in cash, for each share of Gulfstream stock. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014.
Raymond James was financial advisor and Smith MacKinnon provided legal counsel to CenterState. Hovde group was financial advisor and rendered a fairness opinion to Gulfstream and Shutts & Bowen was legal counsel.

'Happy Town' - 'In This Home on Ice' Recap
by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 28th 2010 11:35PM
(S01E01) "A well man doesn't put a hole in another man's head." - Sheriff
Every single review is going to compare 'Happy Town' with 'Twin Peaks.' This isn't just because both shows involve mysterious goings on with mysterious characters in a small town, it's because ABC itself has been driving the point home in all of its marketing for the show. "From the network that brought you 'Twin Peaks ..." I don't really understand why they're mentioning a TV show that ran on their network over 20 years ago, but maybe they feel they have to connect it to something cultish and beloved.
Is it like that show? I guess. A little. It has that small town mystery vibe. It also has dashes of 'Harper's Island' and 'Salem's Lot,' but those ran on CBS so I guess they can't mention them in the ads.

Missing Marina man's truck found in Big Sur near body
Updated On: Mar 25 2013 06:06:08 PM PDT
A statewide Silver Alert issued for a missing Marina man was canceled Monday after a body was found in Big Sur.
Raymond Smith was reported missing by his family in December 2012. On Saturday afternoon, a potential home buyer who was exploring real estate in Big Sur found Smith's white GMC Yukon truck near Hurricane Point, Marina police said.
Skeletal remains were also found nearby. The body and truck were about 150 feet off Highway 1 near Hurricane Point south of Bixby Bridge, Cmdr. Bob Nolan said.
Investigators believe the person found dead is Smith, however, the body will not be definitively identified until a Monterey County Sheriff's Coroner conducts an autopsy.
"Based on the totality of circumstances surrounding the vehicle's discovery, the California Highway Patrol removed Smith and his vehicle from the statewide Silver Alert missing elders warning system," Nolan said.

"It's very difficult for me to talk about Chuck 'cause I've lifted every lick he's ever played. This is the man that started it all!"
- KEITH RICHARDS, introducing Chuck Berry when he was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
"If you tried to give Rock and Roll another name you might call it CHUCK BERRY."
"If you don't know every Chuck Berry lick, you can't play Rock guitar."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyp13Q6dQjY - CHUCK BERRY 'Little Queenie' from the 1959 movie 'Go Johnny Go'
Chuck Berry's music has transcended generations. He earns respect to this day because he is truly an entertainer. Berry, also known as "The Father of Rock & Roll," gained success by watching the audience's reaction and playing accordingly, putting his listeners' amusement above all else. For this reason, tunes like "Johnny B. Goode," "Maybellene" and "Memphis" have become anthems to an integrated American youth and popular culture. Berry is a musical icon who established rock and roll as a musical form and brought the worlds of black and white together in song.

Police block anti-N.K. leaflets to prevent possible armed clash
Publication Date : 23-10-2012
Authorities block activists from sending propaganda leaflets over to N. Korea; military on high alert against possible attack from the communist state
South Korean military and police blocked civic activists from sending propaganda leaflets over to North Korea yesterday but military tension remained high across the border as they vowed to go ahead with their plans.
The Army said it would maintain vigilance for the time being ready to exercise self-defence measures should it see signs of imminent attack from the communist state.
A group of South Korean conservatives and defectors were blocked by the police yesterday from entering Imjin Paviliion in Paju, Gyeonggi Province where they planned to release balloons carrying leaflets criticising the Kim Jong-un regime.
South Korea has put its frontline units on high alert against possible attack from the communist state.
North Korea threatened last week to strike South Korea's western areas should South Koreans, including defectors, send leaflets over to its side. The announcement came after the group said they planned do so of Imjin Pavilion yesterday.
The Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency dispatched police, in collaboration with the military, to Imjin Pavilion yesterday to block the group from entering the area, according to the Defence Ministry.
The ministry said that it had tightened its military readiness whether or not leaflet balloons would be flying to the North.
Defence sources told local media that South Korea was ready to scramble fighter jets, and has put its artilleries and rocket launchers in place for possible combat. The communist state has been reportedly preparing its artillery since it gave its warning to the South.
The Defence Ministry declined to disclose the weapon status intelligence of the two Koreas due to national security.
Last week, Defence Minister Kim Kwan-jin visited military units on the central front, ordering his troops to be on alert and ready to fire against possible provocations from North Korea.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Jung Seung-jo also visited a military base on Sunday and commanded his troops to keep their weapons and equipment ready and in best shape to immediately counter attacks from North Korea.
South Korea has been strengthening its defence and security measures on the border since the defection of a North Korean soldier, who crossed the demilitarised zone without being detected.
The incident cost several commanding officers their posts after President Lee Myung-bak reprimanded Minister Kim for failing to maintain tightened security at the border.

Girl, 12, infected by brain-eating amoeba at waterpark beats the odds and goes home
|Report an Error
Share via Email
LITTLE ROCK, ARK.—A 12-year-old Arkansas girl who survived a rare and often fatal infection caused by a brain-eating amoeba went home Wednesday after being hospitalized since July.
Kali Hardig was diagnosed with a devastating infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis after a trip to an Arkansas water park this summer.
There were 128 such infections reported in the United States between 1962 and 2012, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Before Kali, doctors could only point to one known survivor in the U.S. and another in Mexico.
During a news conference Wednesday, even Kali — whose name is pronounced KAY'-lee — acknowledged the odds against her. "I'm lucky to be alive," she said.
Her doctors and parents agreed.
"The first 22 days being in ICU, you just never knew," her mother, Traci Hardig said. "You're told the worst news possible, and then to go from that outcome to ... get to actually take her home, I mean, I got to watch a miracle unfold right in front of my eyes."
Health officials believe Kali became sick after a trip to a now-shuttered water park that features a sandy-bottomed lake.
A brain-eating amoeba called Naegleria fowleri is often found in warm bodies of freshwater, such as lakes, rivers and hot springs. The amoeba typically enters the body through the nose as people are swimming or diving. It can then travel to the brain, causing primary amebic meningoencephalitis, or PAM.
Initial symptoms usually start within one to seven days and may include a headache, fever, nausea and vomiting. The disease progresses rapidly, and other symptoms can include a stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, seizures and hallucinations.
Moreover, the infection destroys brain tissue and can cause brain swelling and death.
Doctors say Kali's success is due in large part to experimental treatment and early detection and diagnosis.
Kali's mother took her to Arkansas Children's Hospital with a nasty fever on July 19. Doctors cooled the girl's body down to try to reduce the swelling, and they won clearance to treat her with a breast cancer drug.
Tests have since shown no sign of the parasite in her system, and she's made remarkable progress. She went from being hooked up to a ventilator to breathing on her own and relearning to speak, walk and eat.
She's expected to return to school Friday for a bit of a reunion before going back to school part time next week. She'll also juggle physical, occupational and speech therapy before checking in with her doctors in four to six weeks.
"At that time, I am hopeful that she will be ready to go back to school full time," Esther Tompkins, one of Kali's doctors, said.

"Which one? Oh, him. He be Pancratius. Yeah, he's a bit moody, but he's all right when you get to know him. Ya see, back in the day, and by that I mean his day, before you an' I were born, he was a big shot. The gods loved him, and one day, he asked for a gift that turned out to be a curse. Once he figured out the horrible side o' his gift, he sought out an oracle, to figure out how to get rid of it. Ol' Pancratius ne'er did tell me what the oracle said. The gift? Didn't I tell ye? No? It be immortality."
-Old Gerald, man in the pub.
Brief bio of a space intel officer
The BRS Gwynith is an air ship of the Byrlothian Resistance. She is sentient, needing no crew to fly or man her, though she generally has a crew aboard for doing repairs and to go where she cannot.
Moonlight shines down on the tranquil scene of a slumbering inn along one of the many roads that cross the land. Trees sway gently in the night air, and the stars twinkle brightly. All is quiet as the PCs snore away, a fine tendril of smoke curlsrnunder their door. The tavern is on fire! This is particularly bad news if the PCs own any horses - the screaming they hear is probably from their mounts! Panicky people are rushing about with buckets of water, trying to tame the flames. The fire fighting effort is not very coordinated as everybody is either hungover or still drunk, including the PCs. Hurry!

Lafayette, LA (Sports Network) - Terra Broadway threw a pair of touchdowns and ran for another as he helped guide the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns to a commanding 52-30 win over the South Alabama Jaguars in Sun Belt Conference play at Cajun Field.
Broadway finished the contest 11-of-19 through the air for 305 yards, adding another 65 yards on 13 rushing attempts for the Ragin' Cajuns (7-4, 5-2 Sun Belt) as they posted their second straight win and the third in the last four outings. Effrem Reed accounted for a game-high 81 yards and two scores on 17 carries.
The Jaguars (2-10, 1-7), losers of five in a row, were paced by Ross Metheny who converted 27-of-44 passes for 360 yards and two touchdowns.
USA scored the first points of the meeting when Jlian Valentin capped an eight-play, 75-yard opening drive with a one-yard TD run to give the visitors a 7-0 advantage.
However, the rest of the quarter belonged to Louisiana as kicker Brett Baer knocked through a 27-yard field goal, Broadway hooked up with Harry Peoples on a 75-yard TD pass and Reed slipped into the end zone on a 19-yard run to give the Ragin' Cajuns a 17-7 advantage.
The Jaguars fought back in the second frame thanks to kicker Michel Chapuseaux who converted field goal attempts of 45, 33, and 50 yards in the period to bring the team to within a point of Louisiana.
But before the first half could draw to a close, Broadway found Javone Lawson with a 27-yard TD strike to make the score 24-16 at the break.
Louisiana added a pair of touchdowns in the third, courtesy of a one-yard run by Reed and a six-yard run by Broadway, pushing the advantage to 38-16.
Ross made the score more respectable with a 23-yard touchdown pass to Jereme Jones late in the third and a 28-yard scoring pass to Gabe Loper midway through the fourth as well.
Unfortunately for USA, the Ragin Cajuns responded both times as Blaine Gautier tossed an 18-yard TD to Jacob Maxwell and a one-yard scoring run from Yobes Walker to close out the affair and give the home team the 22-point win.
The 52 points for the Ragin' Cajuns is the most the team has scored since posting a 59-30 win over North Texas on Oct. 11, 2008.
Both teams still have one more game on the schedule this season as the Jaguars pay a visit to Hawaii next weekend and Louisiana travels to Florida Atlantic.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Hong Kong vets saluted
Lasting honour for Arden Seven
A memorial honouring seven veterans who grew up on the same Winnipeg street and fought at the Battle of Hong Kong was unveiled by the city and the province on Friday.
The memorial honours the Arden Seven, all of whom grew up on Arden Avenue in St. Vital and served in the Winnipeg Grenadiers. All seven men survived the December 1941 battle, but were taken prisoner by Japanese forces and spent four years in captivity. Two-hundred-ninety Canadians were killed in the battle, which was one of the first Pacific battles of the Second World War.
Of the seven men, only one, George Peterson, is still alive. Peterson, 92, was the first of the seven to join the Grenadiers and was at the unveiling. Premier Greg Selinger and Mayor Sam Katz thanked him for his service at the announcement in the Viscount Gort Hotel on Friday.
-- George Peterson, 92
"I'm in the legislature debating every day, and in some places that's not possible. It's because of you folks that we have the opportunity to represent you and do it in a democratic way," Selinger said to Peterson and the other veterans who attended.
The memorial will be in Jules Mager Park in St. Vital, and consist of seven chairs, one for each of the Arden Seven, along with plaques telling their stories.
Christine Melnick, the MLA for Riel, came up with the idea for the memorial. She said she wanted to create it after she came upon some local newspaper clippings of the Arden Seven. She said their story "really struck" her.
"Here were seven young men from Arden in a street that I was proud to now represent who had done so much for all of us," she said.
Melnick said she started looking at a suitable way to honour the soldiers, and came up with the idea for the memorial. They visited Peterson at his home to ask for his permission.
"It was a really wonderful visit... When we were there he actually put on the jacket that he wore, his uniform," she said.
The park that will house the memorial was a good fit, Melnick said.
"It's an area that is a green space that people have not taken full advantage of, but I think with this they will come more," she said, adding it will also educate youth about the soldiers' efforts.
Peterson thanked everybody for the honour on his behalf and on behalf of all the other Arden men, and choked back tears while addressing the audience. He said if the other six Arden men could be there, they would be just as thankful.
"Not too many people get honoured like this, and I really appreciate what they've done to remember us by."

This is the third post in a blog series called Bakers' Basics with Marcy Goldman. In this post, she shares her favorite spiced desserts. Here's Marcy:
The Mistress of Spices, a wonderful novel (also a film) by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is set in a lavish spice store where its owner, Tilo, is both spell caster and spice witch. Her domain is 'the spices' and her loyalty to them, in service to administering to others (especially the lovelorn), is admirable.
There's just one problem: the 'spices' (an entity unto themselves) ask their mistress to abandon her own heart's desires. This means Tilo can never fall in love herself and instead is married to the spices and their curative powers (spices are great in baking but they hardly are husband material). Tilo maintains that 'everyone has a spice.' Hers is sesame, and the man she loves? His is chili – oh so passionate! There's a happy ending to this spice love story, but there's an even better spice story going on in your own kitchen.
What spice are you? Fall is an excellent time to think about it. Just stroll down the spice aisle of your supermarket or favorite bulk food store. Or browse some amazing online spice shops; I fall in love with spices all over again just reading about the varieties to try. Are you warm cinnamon, exotic cardamom or perky allspice? You can be a spice-a-day for this season of hospitality.
Now recipes for cookies, scones, muffins, biscotti and more all call for spices – because not only do spices uplift your baking, but they're a great counterpoint to the nip in the air. The only thing you mustn't do when it comes to spices is use old ones or less than fine-quality ones.
New harvests deserve a fresh batch of spices, so freshen up your canisters and jars. Invest in the finest, fragrant spices you can find to make your recipes swell in flavor and dimension. Don't use cinnamon or nutmeg in a recipe without first smelling it to see it's viable. Stale spices ruin the baking, but fresh spices are gold!
Great home baking demands so little and delivers so much. That little bit of spice a recipe calls for might as well be one more jewel in the crown of your finished loaf, cake or cookie. Be a mistress of spices and you'll find yourself master of your baker's domain. And don't forget, since it's a brand new season of baking, to not only refresh your spices, but make sure you're using a fresh can of baking powder, too!
Chewy Crumble Buttermilk Spice Cake
Mouth-watering, buttery and tender, this reminds you of New England B&B. Everything in this recipe depend on using the finest of simple things, such as the best quality cinnamon and freshest nutmeg. The chewy crumble topping is addictive; try not to just eat that and leave the cake!
Cinnamon Ripple Biscotti
These nicely crunchy biscotti whip up in a flash. Just invest in quality, fresh cinnamon and then text message the coffee klatch gals to come over quick! I'm so fussy about the cinnamon component that I order a selection of cassia, Ceylon, and Vietnamese cinnamons and mix them together for a hot, sweet, lively cinnamon blend.
Cardamom Rusks
Rusks are a nice, crisp cookie. These are gently spiced and fragrant in the way only something made with almonds, sour cream, butter and cardamom could be. A perfect cookie-jar cookie.
