Theater Review: 'Nunsense'
Date: October 31, 2012
by: Paula Atwell | Theater Critic
The Players Theatre has been blessed with a "nun"-tastic event. "Nunsense," with book, music and lyrics by Dan Goggin, opened in 1985 and has remained off-Broadway's second-longest running show, rivaling "The Fantastics," and grossing more than $500 million as a result of its enduring, worldwide appeal.
The absurdist plot posits that among the order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken, its cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally killed 52 members of the convent with her spoiled soup. The core five, who were off playing bingo, must raise the remaining funds for the burials. What will they do? Why, stage a variety show in the Mount St. Helen's School auditorium, of course.
Director Michelle Teyke has facilitated an evening of wonderful music and witty satire with this lively vaudevillian revival, filled with joking irreverence, entertaining song and dance and wacky high jinks. She's even updated some of the dialogue to reference modern technology. As choreographer, she's pulled off ballet, tap, modern and madcap dance. One of the musical numbers even includes a nun puppet.
To play each highly individualistic nun, a marvelous, melodiously talented cast has been recruited. Kathy Abney plays former circus performer Mother Superior Mary Regina, who sings, "Turn up the Spotlight," (meaning on her). She is constantly chided for using some of the burial money to buy a flat-screen HD television by Sister Mary Hubert, played with dignity and determination by Phyllis Bank, who can also grind out some funky, bluesy, soul sounds, as evidenced especially in the refrain, "Holier Than Thou." Sue Cole, who also does funny impressions using her white veil as a prop, delivers Sister Robert Anne, a tell-it-like-it-is nun in sneakers from Canarsie. Fifteen-year-old, singing and dancing Maria Wirries plays Sister Mary Leo, a novice who wants to add ballerina to her job description, and performs a charming flying-nun ballet. Sister Mary Amnesia, who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head, is well-played by Nikki Maach-Schuster, a woman of many voices and wide ranges, including the operatic.
A full-sounding orchestra, comprised of keyboardist and Musical Director Alan J. Corey, keyboardist Seth Wertz and percussionist John Januszewski, backs all the hilarity. Kaylene McCaw provided the costume design

Former Spokane Mayor Sheri Barnard voted for Mary Verner.
But she's impressed with the first several months of Mayor David Condon's administration.
"So far, I think the moves he's made are excellent," Barnard said.
Reached last week, Barnard said that Condon appears to be living up to his pledge to maintain nonpartisanship in the running of the mayor's office.
Asked about Condon's early start for campaign fundraising for 2015, Barnard said in general that she's disgusted with the amount of money in politics, but that she didn't know enough to comment about Condon's efforts.
Barnard, who served as the city's mayor in the early 1990s, has long been an advocate of police reform and criticized the work of former Assistant City Attorney Rocky Treppiedi, who was fired by Condon's new city attorney.
Condon arranged to meet with Barnard earlier this year to seek her advice about his new job.
"We just had a really nice chat," Barnard said.

Looe 'Granite Quay Development' Visiting the Leach Pottery Project Arrival at the Centre of Pendeen for our board meeting Bert Biscoe and Stephen Bohane presenting a plaque to Chris Hibbert at Trewarveneth studios This is the new building on the lower quay area of Looe, providing new and improved facilities for the fishing industry. The old building was no longer suitable and was demolished and replaced with purpose-built facilities to accommodate three new fish processing units and a purpose-built marine engineering workshop on the ground floor. There are fishermen's stores on the second floor and the loft area will be utilised by a Finding out about the Fisheries purpose-built net mending business. This provides a total of 763m2 of workspace, an increase of 363m2. Resource Centre in Newlyn In addition the height of the quay wall has been raised to reduce the risk of flooding and additional conveniences included e.g. power and water facilities to improve the services of the port. The objectives of the project are to provide the highest quality services and facilities for the fishing fleet to ensure that it remains in the port and lands its fish there. The fish processors indicated their need to expand, so this project has helped these and the associated marine industries remain in the area.

Individuals are referred from agencies such as Jobcentre+, Connexions or by self-referral to take part in this project. The most novel aspect of this project concerns the moped leasing scheme. Depending on their circumstances, applicants could be loaned a moped for up to 6 months at a low cost. This would enable them to access training and/or employment located in short to medium distances away (maximum round trip advised - approximately 20 miles). 4 Tremayne Hall Learning • Offered a venue to local services such as Surestart, Connexions and Age Concern to offer special support to 4 Centre, Mylor disadvantaged groups such as the elderly and disabled.

By any token this is a considerable investment, but on the Isles of Scilly its impacts are even more significant. RCP Project Profiles The Isles of Scilly economy is predominantly reliant upon the tourism industry. Activities such as the arts and crafts and commercial radio, whilst making valuable contributions to the islands are a far smaller slice of the economic pie. By investing in these projects the Rural Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Partnership have helped broaden the islands economic base, provide additional jobs and have helped tackle barriers to accessing the market place.

Rural Renaissance has responsibility for several funding schemes including the delivery of the SW RDA Rural Renaissance initiative, Modernising Rural Delivery (MRD) and Neighbourhood Learning in Deprived Communities for the Learning and Skills Council, which encompass the economic development and regeneration needs of rural areas. These initiatives aim to help rural communities respond to and influence economic change, by supporting the development and implementation of sustainable projects that use innovation and enterprise to: • Create prosperity and generate employment. • Improve delivery and access to services. • Realise the value of the environment as an economic asset.

Carlisle is a heroin hotspot - police
Last updated at 08:49, Thursday, 13 February 2014
Carlisle has been labelled a heroin "hotspot" and criminal gangs have been blamed for west Cumbria's amphetamine issues, as new figures reveal the true scale of the county's drug problems.
Data released to the News & Star highlights the devastating pattern of drug use in the county, as well as clearly defining the drug of choice for different areas.
While heroin addiction is at shocking levels within the Carlisle area, organised crime gangs are being blamed for the number of people seeking help for amphetamine addiction in west Cumbria.
The figures come from Unity, the county's drug and alcohol recovery service, and look at the people they treated between September 2012 and August 2013.
While each referral is ranked under a primary drug – such as cocaine, heroin or alcohol – the service says that most people they treat also have issues with secondary substances.
Of the 319 new referrals in Carlisle, 178 were for alcohol abuse and 141 were for drugs.
Heroin accounted for 93 referrals, with other opiates such as buprenorphine counting for 10. Cannabis provided the second highest number of referrals, with 12.
The revelations came as no shock to the professionals on the frontline of drug work within Cumbria.
Cate Meagher, Carlisle team manager for Unity, said: "This doesn't surprise me, because Carlisle is a city – albeit a small one.
"You get lots of transient people going through Carlisle, and heroin is a transient drug."
Asked why heroin use appears to so far outstrip other drugs, Ms Maegher added: "I don't know, perhaps it is easier to score heroin [in a city like Carlisle]?"
Detective Superintendent Andy Slattery continued: "From our work on seizures and drug-related arrests we do see Carlisle as a heroin hotspot – with Barrow in second.
"The patterns shown in these figures follow our intelligence around where drug supply is."
The same statistics show that the drug problem in the Eden area is far lower, with the number of people seeking help for alcohol addiction outstripping those needing drug treatment by 10 to one.
In fact, the treatment for drugs is divided in the district, with cannabis, cocaine and heroin all having similar numbers of referrals.
Detective Superintendent Slattery said that established dealers in Carlisle are sourcing the illegal substances from couriers in Liverpool and surrounding areas.
The officer agreed with the apparent distribution of drug use around the county, adding that the main problems in west Cumbria centre around the use of amphetamines, methamphetamines, and cocaine, brought in by members of organised crime gangs.
The figures echo this, revealing that the use of amphetamines and cannabis is higher in Allerdale and Copeland than any other district in the county.
Of the 154 new drug referrals made within the two districts over the last 12-months, 23 people were seeking help for amphetamine abuse.
A further 25 were trying to overcome their cannabis use.
The two west Cumbrian regions also saw more referrals than all the other districts combined for so-called legal highs.
Labelled "novel psychoactive substances", the category includes former so-called legal highs such as mephedrone.
There were four new referrals for this type of drug in both Allerdale and in Copeland, compared with a total of seven in Eden, Carlisle, South Lakeland and Barrow combined.
Allerdale also has a high percentage of people battling heroin addiction, with 38 new referrals – Copeland had 17.
Det Supt Slattery continued: "It is a concern there are that many people seeking help and we know there are many more drug users who don't seek help.
"But it is positive that people do feel able to come forward to get help. The more people who do the better it is because when they receive treatment it helps break the cycle of offending linked to drug use."

The Windows phone system continues to be experiencing large opposition from Android and iOS devices.
Today, the news headlines the improvement of the guaranteed Chocolate Break Tale towards the system has been stopped comes like a surprising update for individuals who expected to perform the sport. Within the month of January 2014, the builders of the overall game stated that they're likely to create a model of numerous common games for that Windows phone system but a brand new statement from the German site called Wallet Gamer.fr claims that tasks have been continued long hold.
Windows Phone IsN't currently Performing Well
The site promises the builders chose to place a hang on all activities which were said to be ported to Windows telephone since the system wasn't doing well as expected. Microsoft does its better by obtaining Nokia however points don't be seemingly moving in their benefit to date to market itself within the smartphone industry. The builders mentioned that those devices' bad industrial efficiency caused growth to prevent for today.
Recently, Microsoft's OS based they don't possess a large user-base to address plus telephones have already been continuously declining on the market. It it has produced just 0.35% of advertisement revenues produced through the system and has decreased from being 3.6% to 3.2% recently. That's significantly less set alongside the types produced by iOS and Android.
Developers Are Copying
Chocolate Break Tale isn't the only real sport that's chose to miss being about the Windows phone system but lately Tremendous Cell, the designers of extremely successful Conflict of Clans, and Hay-Day established that both these activities won't be visiting the OS anytime soon.
A lot of games recently got remarkably popular with Chocolate and customers Break Tale is one of these. The overall game is about matching the best colored gems but it gets harder while you advance though it seems quite simple to understand. The overall game is liberated to obtain on Android iOS in addition to Computer. You might have to miss the concept of needing to watch for the overall game to start should you possess a Windows telephone. It's been indefinitely delayed and we truly can't verify if the improvement will start again until a miracle happens that will abruptly raise the Microsoft OS to great levels having a strong user-base.

This thread moves so fast - both the runners and the posters. I wanted to say a big well done to DrD for the sub 75 in Gosport - just imagine how fast you would have been without the massive beer belly? The other highlight last Sunday was Dachs 10k time - amazing!
Just gentle running this week. Got a few niggles which I hope clear up ready to build a base in Dec.
Well done Jools on PB and nice running Toro.
It was nice to chat with DrD at start of Gosport - I am blaming my bushy beard costing me a PB
My warm up involved getting wet and cold so almost wish I had sat in car. Coupled with the fact my ankle has been giving me problems all week I questioned why I was there.
I set off hoping for about 83 minutes but somehow the pace felt pretty comfortable and so I ended up going a bit quicker. I managed to finish in 81:30 so happy with result. If I had known I was anywhere near that shape I would have gone a bit harder and tried for a PB. This year I have managed to run my 3 fastest half marathons which after 20 years of running I am pretty pleased with - just got to convert it to a decent marathon next year.
oh and I think I saw you TR but it was near the cone turn round point and I wasn't up for shouting across a random hello.
Been too busy this week to post and have a slightly painful ankle so not much running either.
Good luck to those racing this weekend.Especially to Banksy in Valencia.
I am looking forward to meeting up with DrD again and seeing TR. Sounds like we will all be in orange vests but suspect DrD will have the shortest shorts...
Selbs - have you christened the x-talon 212s in the mud yet?
CD - well done on the duathlon. I ride a fair bit around the roads near Boxhill and know they aren't that grippy when wet. Weather wise it was a pretty horrid day.
Sounds like Banksy and DanA are both in fine form for upcoming marathon but with pretty different sessions.
Lev - hope thinks aren't a negative as you fear.
Nice run CW with some tasty speedy bits.
I took out my new X-Talon 212s and got them completely caked in mud. They were great on the muddy hilly trails on Wimbledon Common. So thanks to all who recommended them.
Well toughed out Lev and nice photo with Yuki. So close LR1976 but very well run given the tough course and conditions. Another amazing run by MsPP - I don't know what you are both getting up to but it seems to be working !!
TR - I am running Gosport as well but suspect it will be more a hard run than a full on race. It will be nice to say hello at the start. Nice training from you over the last couple of days.
I managed a cold, wet 9 miles tonight. Hope to add a speed session this week as well now the cold and post marathon tiredness has gone... oh and the X-Talon 212s arrived so will find some muddy trails at weekend.

Farm Bureau Challenges EPA Authority Over States to Enforce TMDLs
On Tuesday, lawyers representing American Farm Bureau Federation and Pennsylvania Farm Bureau began presenting oral arguments before the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.

Farmers influencing markets buy holding tight to 2014 crop
For years I have written that farmer selling was a factor in moving prices for corn, soybeans, and wheat. This fall it played a major role in in the price rally that took place. Corn prices have also moved higher this fall by nearly 70 cents. Basis levels did not see the deep depression or retreat many had expected with record production.
Why Animal Welfare 'FARM' Audits Had to Be Made Mandatory

American Farm Bureau not Buying WOTUS Clarification
Policy Communications Director Will Rodger with American Farm Bureau says, if passed, all it would take for a farmer to be in violation of the Clean Water Act is something as simple as a small amount of fertilizer or dust into the dry bed of an intermittent stream.

The dolly, made in accordance with the present invention, includes a portable platform 15 supported at its rear end by a pair of spaced rear wheels 16 and at its front end by means of a single front wheel 17. The dolly is steered in any direction by the manually operated handle 18. It will be recognized that while a manually operated dolly is shown in the drawings, that such may also be provided with a motor for driving the dolly between various work stations, particularly where the larger size wheels and tires are being handled, such as those commonly used in aircraft and heavy trucks.
A large semi-circular clamp 20 is rotatably secured to 2 the platform 15 by an integral transversely extending shaft 22 that engages with spaced bearings 24 located at the rear of the platform. The ends of the clamp 20 areprovided with opposed inwardly extending curved vplates 21 that may .be moved longitudinally relative to each otherby means of a handle 23 threadingly-engaged with the clamp. The plates 21 may be rotated independently of the handle so as to permit directional adjustment thereof without aifecting the adjustment of the clamping members. .A pinion 25 is also keyed to the shaft 22 and is in meshing engagement with a rack gear 127 that .is mounted for reciprocating longitudinal movement along the platform 15.between a pair of guide blocks 28. The-end of the rack gear is connected to the plunger ,of ahydraulic. cylinder by a pressure fluid delivered thereto through a supply line 30 from a fluid supply tank .31.
In moving therack gear from a retracted position, as shown in Figure 1, to an extended position 27a, fluid 'is admitted to vthe inlet 32 of the cylinder; in .moving the rack gear from the extended position 27a to a .retracted position, fluid .is admitted to the forward inlet port 33. The control of pressure fluid from'the motor pumprassembly 35 is maintained by a directional zvalve 36. .An enlarged cutout 26, extending longitudinally ofthe platform, is;provided to accommodate the'lower ,portion of a tire that is rotated therein in a :manner hereinafter described. 'One .of a pair of transversely aligned side .cylinders 38 is disposed at each'sidenf this cutout '26,-each of which :is provided wiflraireciprocatingplunger 39'and fluid supply lines 42, 43, for
supplying pressure fluid for extending and retracting the plungers, respectively.
In order to facilitatethe'removal ofathe tire :10 .from
the wheel 45, a wheel block'47 having a vertical support column 48 andintegral horizontalibase 49lis removably supported within the cutout 26. The base '49 extends into a matingslot-in,theplatform 15 :immediately beneath ltheslongitudinally acting cylinder, 29. The support column 48.is provided with a transverse bore50 that receives the ,plungers 3r9-of the side cylinders 38 when moved to/an extended .position, -a1l.as :shown-in Figure 4. The upper .end Ofthe block 47 is .provided with vertically extend- ,ing studs '51 arranged to he received within the ,studireceiving openings'in conventional wheels 45. A set screw 52, acting between the block 47 and column 48, is pro vided to permit vertical adjustment of the block from a lowered position to a raised position 47a to facilitate the handling of diiferent sizes of wheels. As is more clearly shown in Figure 8, the outer ends of each of the plungers 39 are provided with transverse bores that removably receive pins 54 for securing claw members 56 thereto for reciprocating longitudinal movement with the plunger, for inspection purposes hereinafter described.
This apparatus may be used to simply remove and replace a tire and wheel assembly or, may also be used to remove the tire from the wheel and for inspection of the tire. To remove the wheel and tire assembly from a vehicle, it is only necessary to move the plates 21 into engagement with the tire after loosening the wheel from its mounting, moving the unit axially away from the axle a short distance to pull the wheel from the axle, and supplying pressure fluid to the supply line 32 to extend the rack gear 27 to effect rotation of the drive pinion 25 and clamp 20 to the position 20a, as shown in Figure 1. If it is also desired to remove the tire from the wheel 45, the wheel is swiveled about its rotatable plate supports 21 into alignment with the clamp 20 prior to effecting rotation of the clamp. Then, pressure fluid may be supplied to the cylinder 29 to rotate the clamp to the position 20a, whereupon the bottom of the clamp and tire extend into the cutout 26 in the platform. The
*the complete and full use of the apparatus;
recognized, however, that the apparatus may be used for side cylinders are then energized, as shown in Figure 7, whereupon they engage the sidewalls 40 of the tire to free them from securing engagement with the flanges of the wheel 45. The clamp 20 'is then rotated slightly toward its vertical position to permit the wheel to be rotated returned to the horizontal position a and into engagement with the studs 51. Lug nuts are then used to fasten the wheel 45 to the studs 51 of the wheel block and the block is locked in an adjusted position by means of the set screw 52, following which the tire is freed from the flange of the wheel at several points with a pry bar. Pressure fluid is then supplied to the operating cylinder 29 to rotate the clamp from the vertical position 2011 towards the inclined position shown in phantom lines in Figure 3 to remove the loosened tire casing 10 from the secured wheel 45. Following this, the wheel 45 and wheel block 47 may be removed from the platform,
whereupon the tire may be rotated back to a vertical position 10b and the claws 56 secured to the ends of the I side plungers 39. As shown in Figure 8, these claws may .be used to spread the side walls 40 of the tire to facilitate the examination of the interior thereof. The flow of pressure fluid to the operating cylinder 29 and side cylinders 38 may be selectively controlled by means of the directional valve 36 that is conveniently disposed so as to facilitate the various movements that are required for It will be any one or all of the aforementioned operations. 1
While this invention has been described'with specific reference to the form shown in the drawing, it is to be understood that such is not to be construed as impart- :ing limitations upon the invention, which is best defined .by the claims appended hereto.
for releasably supporting the diametrically opposite sides of a wheel assembly for rotation thereof about the wheel diameter, an adjustable wheel block removably secured out of its vertical position 10b to its horizontal position 10a and then to its inclined position 10c, as shown in Figure 3.

Friday Recipe Exchange: Preparing for Thanksgiving
Cornbread Stuffing Photo by JeffreyW
Bixby and I are hitting the road for the holiday, as long as the weather stays nice. I'm planning on arriving early so I can help with prep, because I
like love to cook. Bixby is growing fast and you can see his latest photo here, along with a quick update. I hope he does as well in the car as he did last trip.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, next to 4th of July. Food, family, friends…and leftovers. I compiled some favorite recipes for tonight's recipe exchange.
JefferyW makes Cornbread Stuffing, part 1 here and part 2 here.
Roasted Butternut Apple Soup makes a great starter, recipe here.
I think I'm going to volunteer for mashed potato duty this year so I can make these again, a lost recipe found, Hearty Garlic Mashed Potatoes, link here. I made them years ago and then completely forgot about the recipe.
And this recipe is the reason I think I get invited to many holiday gatherings, my Cranberry Upside Down Cake, click here.
Since my brother is cooking again this year, we'll probably have deep fried turkey, which is ok by me, as long as I'm not cooking it. I have a real fear of deep frying anything, which is why all the deep fried recipes on the blog are from JeffreyW. I will still cook a turkey, though, because, leftovers. This year I'm going to try the braising method from America's Test Kitchen's Braised Turkey technique, link here, minus the brining.
Not sure how you want to cook your turkey this year? I've listed some ideas from people smarter than I am: turkey four different ways, here.
What's on the menu for your Thanksgiving this year? Do you have a must-have recipe for your holiday dinner?
I'm not a fan of traditional candied sweet potatoes, so tonight's featured recipes are some non-traditional styles of recipes for sweet potatoes.
Cajun Sweet Potatoes
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- ¼ tsp cumin (opt)
Covered casserole dish, well-greased
Steamer and saucepan
In saucepan, add water, steamer and sweet potatoes. Steam until you can easily stick a fork in them. They don't need to be completely soft. About 10-15 minutes. Add sweet potatoes to casserole dish. Combine oil, butter and spices. Pour evenly over potatoes. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes until potatoes are soft. You can adjust cooking time if you prefer your firmer or softer potatoes.
Sweet Potatoes w/Apples
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed

2 qt casserole dish, greased
Add ingredients to casserole dish. Stir gently and bake at 375 degrees for 40-50 minutes, uncovered, until apples and potatoes are very soft. Cover if it begins to brown too much
That's it for this week. No recipe exchange next week I hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. – TaMara
Bixby Update: Growing Up Fast
Bixby is busy doing Bixby things, important things, like rolling on the floor chewing on his favorite stuffed dog and
chasing playing with cats, so I thought I'd give you a quick update. First I went looking for photos for the week and realized I didn't have any. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) how difficult it is to get photos of a very rambunctious puppy. Especially when I have the camera, he always wants to 'see' what I'm doing and the best I can get is a photo of his left nostril.
No one wants to see that.
So I convinced him to sit up on the couch and be still for all of 5 seconds (treats may have been involved), so I could get this shot. That's right, you're looking at a photo taken just moments ago. And I'm fairly certain that he's grown about a 1/4 inch since I snapped it.
At five months, he's just so very smart and so very easy to train. We are working on more complex problems right now, like not being in the kitchen while I'm cooking, asking to be on the couch, understanding that while I'm working, I cannot also be petting, playing or otherwise entertaining him. He's a quick a study. He also has a stubborn streak and will give me a look and then do exactly what I just said he couldn't do. Because, well because he's Bixby.
Some video from two weeks and 10 lbs ago:
The video isn't much, but I've been trying to get video of him flying off the deck (stairs, who needs stairs?) like super-dog. I was not completely successful, but I'll keep trying. And the play stance of him, butt up, tail wagging is one of my favorites, it really reflects his whole view on life right now. Happy, fun, tail wagging. He reminds me everyday to stop taking it all so seriously.
I'm trying Bixby, I'm trying.
Friday Dinner Music: Jeremy Jordan, Losing My Mind
Sometimes people lead me to the best things:
Pumpkin Buttermilk Bundt Cake
This was a much more successful pumpkin recipe. Very moist, very flavorful And if you're creative, you can make it look like a pumpkin. Because I'm at high altitude, I should have remembered to add 2 tbsp extra flour. Next time.
Pumpkin Buttermilk Bundt Cake
- 2-1/4 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 4 Tbsp buttermilk powder
- 3 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 15 oz can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1-1/4 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 -1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk (more or less as needed)
- 1 tsp vanilla
bowls, bundt pan
Butter and flour bundt pan generously. In bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy (about 3 minutes), add eggs, beat 1 minute. Add pumpkin and vanilla and beat on low until incorporated, scraping sides frequently. Alternate adding the flour mixture and water until all are incorporated with the pumpkin mixture and batter is smooth.
Spoon into the bundt pan and gently tap pan on the counter to remove any bubbles and even out the batter.
Bake at 350 degrees until a wooden skewer comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes, then invert on a plate and remove from bundt pan. Let cool completely before frosting.
Icing: Add vanilla to powdered sugar and then slowly add milk until mixture is smooth. Pour evenly over cooled cake. (I added yellow and red food coloring for some Halloween fun)
Bixby Diaries: I'm 5 Months Old Today
UPDATE: We finally made it to the vet for a weigh-in. My little guy is at 67 lbs. Looks like we'll be adding another cup of food to his day.
It's been a while, I know, but my person and I have been so busy. She's been working and looking for a new home for us. I'm mostly just having fun. I'm five months old today. I weigh ??? (TaMara's note: Today was the day to go get weighed but snow and cold kept us housebound, I'll update tomorrow with his weight, but it's likely 65 lbs) and when I stand on my hind legs, I can easily hug my person around her neck.
Big doings lately. I've been riding in the car without my crate for quite a while now and my person says I'm doing awesome. Well, mostly. She's pulled the car over a couple of times when I wouldn't listen and tried to climb in the back area of the car. She says it's not safe. She says it very loudly.
I'm doing well on all my commands, my person has added "come" and "down" (which she reminds everyone is not the same as "off"). TaMara's Note: Come still seems to mean, run around the yard like a crazy thing.
I had my first (well if you don't count my trip to come to my new home) road trip. It was great fun. I felt like I was in the car forever, but I got a lot of walks in very interesting places (my person called them 'rest stops' though we didn't rest there at all).
When we finally stopped driving we were at my other family's home, filled with other kitties, a sweet little girl and my person's brother and sister-in-law. So many new things to see and take in, and little kids to play with, I really like them.
The best part was one night we went for a long walk with lots of kids and big people, stopping at house after house. Everyone was soooo excited, it was hard to not run around crazy like they were doing, and everywhere we went everyone wanted to pet me and tell me how handsome I am. I can't wait to do it again.
All that excitement, I missed a lot of my naps. Finally crashed while my sweet little girl read me a bedtime story. Another whole day of fun and then it was time to go back home.
Back in the car, we drove forever again, but finally we were home and I really think my kitties missed me because they are all hanging out with me a lot more. That makes me very happy.
Everyday my person and I go out to the ponds for a long walk. I really like this, so many smells, so many birds and just enough people to make it interesting. We practice all kinds of things there: come, stay, stop, walk, heel and how to sit when bicycles fly by. I really want to chase them, but sitting makes my person so happy, I'd rather sit.
TaMara's note: I thought it would be fun to compare and contrast Bixby in photos:
This week (above)…and his first week with me(below):
I still love my stuffy, even though I don't fit on him quite the same.
That's it for me, I'll update when I can. Until then, know I'm having a blast and growing every day. – Bixby

Just when you could start finding Wiis everywhere… there's a rumor that the console could get an upgrade within two years.
Wired says that the next incarnation could include high-def. Whether or not that means movie playback or higher prices is totally unknown, but it could give the Wii a boost with graphics. Despite the current cheap prices and flailing arm movements, the on-screen action can't really compare to the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Of course, in the world of electronics, two years could mean five. The Wii is currently enjoying much success, so it's hard to believe that Nintendo wouldn't want to ride that wave until the end.
Nintendo is hosting its annual media day on Thursday. No doubt the new Wii will be a buzz, but that doesn't mean we'll get answers. Earlier this week, we reported that the other hot topic expected should be the new/rumored Nintendo DS.
According to the NPD Group, Nintendo sold more than 448,000 Wii consoles in the U.S.—just in August. That brings the grand total to almost 12 million.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Construction crews were on site moving dirt around at the site of a building that will be a go to place for many young men in the North Omaha community after school.
NorthStar's new multi-million after-school facility will include a 34,500 square foot building along with outdoor sports fields and space for other outdoor activities.
The 16-month construction project is the next step in fulfilling NorthStar's vision to dramatically increase the graduation rate for North Omaha boys.
"NorthStar has examined models nationwide and the new indoor-outdoor facilities will provide a world-class program for Omaha's most challenged young men," said Board Chairman Richard D. Holland.
Everything is expected to be completed summer 2014 and open for after school programs that fall.
The programs will be offered to boys in north Omaha in fifth through eighth grades during the first year.
