Kix Brooks Says It's 'Hard to Argue With' the Success of Modern Country
Some of country's older generation of stars have been vocal about their dislike of the genre's new direction, but Kix Brooks is not one of them.
Some of country's older generation of stars have been vocal about their dislike of the genre's new direction, but Kix Brooks is not one of them.
Kix Brooks is transitioning into the television industry with a new show on the Food Network.
'Duck Dynasty's' Uncle Si Robertson has a new talent he's showing off, and it has nothing to do with duck calls or hunting. The 66-year-old released a six-song EP, 'Me and My Smoking Hot Honey' on iTunes Wednesday (May 14), and it features a duet with none other than country singer Kix Brooks.
Jake Owen got a digital "talking to" from Barbara Brooks, the wife of country legend Kix Brooks, after he tweeted a picture of himself wearing a bit of a sarcastically sexist T-shirt that read: "Cool Story Babe. Now Go Make Me a Sandwich."
Blake Shelton, Kellie Pickler and Kix Brooks already have gigs beyond being country singers, with Shelton coaching on 'The Voice,' Pickler winning 'Dancing With the Stars' and Brooks hosting his radio countdown show. But soon, the singers will have new additions to their respective resumes, as they've all landed guest voice roles on the new animated CMT series 'Bounty Hunters' (which, by the way, sounds hilarious).
Kix Brooks is a man of many interests, and a man with an interesting background. Prior to joining Ronnie Dunn to form one of country music's all-time greatest duos, the singer fronted a rowdy group of country rock n' rollers and released a solo album. It turns out, the rowdy, brawling sound one hears on 'New to This Town' is closer to Brooks' true character -- especially his youthful character -- as we learned by playing 60 Seconds With Kix Brooks.
If nothing else, the 12 songs on 'New to This Town' -- the first solo album from Kix Brooks in 23 years -- serve as reminder that we really don't know the mustachioed half of Brooks and Dunn very well. The project is is downright rowdy, and Brooks is a more colorful singer than he showed on songs like 'Lost and Found.'
Kix Brooks admits he was hesitant to agree to a September 11 release of his new album, 'New to This Town.' The singer didn't want to be difficult, but he didn't think the mood of his first solo album in 23 years matched what he thought the nation would be feeling on the 11th anniversary of the New York City and Washington D.C. terrorist attacks. In the end, he decided he was wrong, leaning on a decision he and Ronnie Dunn made just days after the original tragedy.
The new single from Kix Brooks' first solo album since 1989 is a tribute to his wife, Barbara. In a video exclusive to Taste of Country, the singer explains the song, which is featured on 'New to This Town,' which will be released next Tuesday (Sept. 11). Fans can listen to the entire album right now at Amazon.
Longtime duet partners Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are on the same ballot for induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Both are nominated in the Songwriter/Artists category, but only one can be inducted. There's no guarantee either will be picked, however.

Let's talk about biscuits!
- c
- cheesemonger Jan 15, 2008 08:37 AM
I'm a cook, not a baker. But recently, I've begun to take on baking "experiments", and have enjoyed the results. It was the no-knead bread that made me a convert, and now I'm wanting to take on biscuits.
Every thanksgiving, I make my grandmother's "'angel" biscuits- yeast based, and folded so they look like angel wings, which taste great, but aren't what I'm looking for. What I want to make is some big ol' fluffy southern style biscuits.
Anyone have great recipes or tips? I vaguely recall something about making a volcano shaped mound of the drys and putting the liquids in the center and mixing with a fork, but alas, I never got the details on those before my Alabama grandmother passed.
Help me make some great from-scratch biscuits this weekend!
LOL, you will get so many responses to this one!
First, let me tell you a story. My ex-MiL and her sisters were putting together their mother's recipe for whole wheat biscuits, that are really only about 50% whole wheat. They always made them without measuring, yet they always turned out the same, and always were alike, but, when they started measuring, for the recipe book, every one was different, and when they tested each other's measurements, the results were vastly different!
Okay, I'll tell you, the best advice I ever saw fro making biscuits, is to follow the recipe. Buttermilk YES...after that, the amount of shortening/lard/butter/oil(shudder) are slightly different. You want to find a recipe, or use one that someone will post, try it, and if you don't like the results, ask, or try to figure out why they ended up that way. It took me a lot of tries to find out that it wasn't necessarily the recipe, but the method I was using. I think I just read a post on another BB about a light hand makes light biscuits, or something like that.
I prefer a combo of lard and butter, and a little sugar in the dough, and cutting the fats into the flour mixture in 2 lots: the first, to make a very fine meal, and the second, a coarser meal.
I look forward to reading the input of others on this topic
I make scones when biscuits like this are required-the first thing I ever learned to make-I must have been about 7. I am sorry it is not exact, this is a recipe that is really in my hands...I was always taught a tspn of baking powder per cup of flour.
3 c flour
almost a whole stick of butter
1/4 tspn salt
1 T sugar
mix together with your hands until it looks like corn meal.
Add: milk/cream/buttermilk until it is gloppy, I like cream the best. Bake at 375 until brown, eat while hot. It looks more "southern" if you roll them and cut them. If you do that add less milk.
If you add buttermilk use baking soda in addition to the baking powder. (I always check a recipe for the amount, but it is I think 1/2 tspn for a cup of buttermilk.
Here's a recipe that I made up the other day. My family loves them.
Orange Biscuit-Scones
3 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar (I use vanilla sugar)
4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp table salt
4 Tbs butter - cut into small cubes.
2 Tbs cooking oil
1 egg, whipped
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup milk
zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup golden raisins
Preheat oven to 375-F.
In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Mix well.
Add butter and cooking oil.
Mix until mixture looks like cornmeal.
Mix orange juice, orange zest, milk and whipped egg together.
Add orange juice/milk/egg mixture to flour and mix until a ball of dough forms.
You may have to scrape side of bowl with rubber spatula and continue mixing
to form dough ball. Add more flour or milk as needed to form non-sticky dough.
Add raisins and mix for another 10 or 15 seconds.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Knead a few times.
Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
Cut out biscuit rounds with 2 pr 3 inch diameter biscuit cutter.
Place on baking sheet with biscuits just touching edge to edge.
Bake 20-25 minutes until biscuit edges are slighly golden brown and
centers are not doughy.
Makes about 12 biscuits-scones.
Split open and serve with butter.
re: cheesemonger
Using a low gluten flour makes a big difference. It's very hard to find in most of the US, but I know some good southern cooks who swear by White lLly and won't bother to makes biscuits with anything else. The Southern Living cookbooks have several types of recipes, angel biscuits, cream biscuits, baking powder biscuits, and buttermilk biscuits. Maybe try a few of those recipes and see which type is closest to what you are looking for and then start tweaking your technique.
re: cheesemonger
You can find a biscuit recipe on the back of a bag of White Lily Flour, milled in Knoxville Tenn. White Lily flour is "made from pure soft winter wheat" according to the package, and I believe is now carried in stores not in the South. Soft wheat should give you soft biscuits and the White Lily recipe should be Southern enough!
The previous poster is right about using a light hand. Don't knead biscuits as you would bread. Also, older recipes called for sifting the flour before measuring, and even though most newer recipes don't call for that, it is probably a good idea. (I'm probably going to get called out on that, but I do think sifting lightens up the finished product. If you don't sift, shake the flour up in its storage cannister before measuring, if you can.)
Make enough biscuits for dinner, and enough for dessert with jam or honey.
re: cheesemonger
Sorry. Didn't know you disike those ingredients. Please accept my profuse apologies. I've fired the cook. It won't happen againl
re: Antilope
You made me laugh out loud!!! Thanks a ton for that! You rock.
re: Antilope
I don't dislike those ingredients, but I thought the OP was fairly clear when I said "big ol' fluffy southern style biscuits". Fire your proofreader, if you need to can someone. ;p
re: Antilope
antilope! LOL.
well, i guess beggars CAN be choosers!!!!!
I've been on a quest for good biscuits, too. I find that shortening makes a flakier product than butter. So far, the best I've made is revsharkie's at the bottom of this thread (long thread but a lot of good info):
People loved them and all 30+ I made (doubled the recipe) disappeared quickly. I thought they were good but I still haven't mastered the technique (I need a grandmother who's grown up making them her whole life to walk me through it) and I think they could have been better. But, that's user error. I figured if they turned out as well as they did when I made them (over kneaded, I'd say--can't resist giving a few extra kneads to be on the safe side), the recipe must be great.
re: chowser
Why thank you, she said, ducking her head humbly.
No, don't knead them much if any. I pretty much just gather the dough into a ball, make sure it's reasonably smooth and even on the outside, then pat it out to the right thickness.
My husband just told me he had a dream where we were visiting some people--probably one of his customers--and we got to talking about biscuits, and I just went into the kitchen and made a batch.
I once traveled hundreds of miles for a biscuit.
Although that may sound pathetic to some, others will understand.
I had read amazing things about the biscuits at the Loveless Cafe outside of Nashville. I also saw the cafe and the biscuits featured on the Food Network. They looked so light and fluffy.... when I made biscuits they always came out harder and denser than I wanted. But these Loveless biscuits looked like cottony clouds.
But I lived in Connecticut, and alas these biscuits were but a dream.
Then one day my husband told me he was going to a convention in Nashville and asked me if I wanted to go. Having been to many of his, shall I say, rather ordinary conventions, my first thought was to say no. But then I remembered..BISCUITS!!!!
Why I sure did want to go to that convention, and the second it was over, we headed in our rental car down to the famous Loveless. And the biscuits!! Wow, they were tall, soft, light, fluffy and delicious!!!
When I got home, I was bound and determined to make the same ones. But no matter what recipe I tried (and I am a baker), I failed. The results were never as soft and light as I would want.
I gave up. Then one day I bought an issue of Cook's Illustrated and it had a recipe for tall and fluffy biscuits... hmmm.... As luck would have it, I also happened to catch an episode of America's Test Kitchen where they went through the recipe step by step. The results looked amazingly like the Loveless biscuits... but I had been frustrated before....
Well, cut to the chase... I made that CI recipe and those biscuits were IT!!!! They were the Loveless Biscuits (Only better because I could make them anytime I wanted).
So if you are looking for tall, light and fluffy, give these a whirl!! I found what appears to be the recipe, below:
The directions may seem a little complicated, but it really isn't. Also, I have made them many times now and can definitely give pointers. Ahhh.
re: TrishUntrapped
I wonder if it's the same recipe in the Best Recipe. I didn't have luck with the ones in the Best Recipe.
re: TrishUntrapped
Trish- this is EXACTLY what I'm looking for! I love those Test Kitchen people, and I had no idea that they had explored thre good southern biscuit.
And, I'm in the South, so White Lily Flour is readily available. I've been using the King Arthur flour for bread, but I'll pick up some WL at the Piggly Wiggly...
I'm so excited to make these. I'll report back! Thanks so much for a "tried and true" recipe.
re: cheesemonger
Good luck, really they aren't difficult to make. But you do NOT need special flour for them. I just used all purpose, and they were plenty soft. But your results may be magnificent. Let us know!
re: TrishUntrapped
For your guidance, AP flour is different regionally, softer being more in demand in the southeast. I've used AP on the west coast and it's different. White Lily is an AP flour, but since it's mostly used by southeastern cooks, it's made from softer wheat. So if your AP flour makes a tougher biscuit, it wouldn't hurt to try cake flour.
re: WCchopper
The Best Recipe biscuit uses cake flour.
re: cheesemonger
I just checked and this is not the same recipe as the ones in the Best Recipe I have by Cooks Illustrated. Not unusual, they seem to find a different "best" recipe, depending on whether it's the magazine or the book. There are two recipes, one for fluffy (calls for either buttermilk or yogurt), one for flaky (uses a mix of butter and shortening). If the one above doesn't give you what you're looking for, I can copy either or both.
re: chowser
And I make the CI 'Cream Biscuits' as my personal favorites.... Easy for a quick morning breakfast -
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour , plus extra for the counter
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Stir in the cream with a wooden spoon until dough forms, about 30 seconds. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and gather into a ball. Knead the dough briefly until smooth, about 30 seconds.
3. Shape the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick circle. Cut biscuits into rounds or wedges. Place rounds or wedges on parchment-lined baking sheet. (The baking sheet can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 2 hours.) Bake in upper 1/3 of oven, until golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking.
re: chowser
Ci has several biscuit recipes in their repertoire. The recipe for the one I gave makes tall, light and fluffy. You don't roll them out and you don't use a cookie cutter. You form them into balls and then put them together in a pan and then break them apart when they are done. They aren't the short-multilayered flaky type..
re: TrishUntrapped
I have to look again but I think that's how their "fluffy" ones are made in the BR cookbook. And, jeanmarieok's looks interesting, too, with no butter or shortening.
re: cheesemonger
Now you're on the right track! Get to the Piggly Wiggly, buy that White Lily and use the recipe right on the back of the bag!
It's great. Follow it exactly. When they say only turn the dough 2 or 3 times, don't do it 10 times or you'll have tough biscuits. Cut them as close together as you can so you don't have to re-roll the leftovers more than once.
The only change I make is using lard for a crisp crust. And I get great buttermilk from the Amish farmers that actually still comes in returnable glass bottles - none of that lowfat stuff.
Praise the Lard and pass the butter! White Lily is the best!
re: MakingSense
MS- I get my fresh milk, cream, butter and buttermilk from a dairy down the road, so I'm covered there as well. I am freakishly excited by this process. I'm having guests next weekend, and they will be my guinea pigs (insert manaical laughter here).
re: cheesemonger
Be careful - after those biscuits, they might never leave. (insert manaical laughter here)
re: cheesemonger
The White Lily recipe uses 1/4 cup "shortening." I've tried:
Crisco - works just fine and it's always on hand
1/2 Crisco and butter - like Alton Brown - nice flavor
Lard - my hands-down favorite
I've used supermarket buttermilk too and it works fine but the real deal buttermilk is worth the trouble of seeking out.
The White Lily recipe is the best I've found.
re: MakingSense
This is it?? The entire recipe? The best biscuits I had were in the South, and soft wheat or 'red' wheat? flour were used, as was buttermilk. They were addictive.
How sad that I can't get White Lily Soft Wheat Flour in Westchester, NY. Or at least I don't think I can.
Nope, just went to their website, and NY is sadly missing a White Lily.
re: dolores
Yep. That simple. The recipe on the plain (not self-rising) flour uses baking powder, salt and buttermilk (rather than plain milk) and you only "knead gently" only 2 or 3 times rather than about 10 as in the self-rising flour recipe. Not a big difference. Both of these recipes are about as simple as it gets. Why complicate a good thing?
Southern bakers swear by White Lily but there must be an alternative.
re: MakingSense
Thanks, MakingSense. I would love to know a Northern alternative to White Lily. It seems there is a 'red' wheat flour on WL's website.
That biscuit I had was etheral. I'd like to attempt to duplicate it.
Answer is here:
re: dolores

re: TrishUntrapped
I make biscuits from a recipe in Cuisine at Home from about 2003 that are similar to the CDkitchen recipe. They are great - light and fluffy. Use the White Lily if you can get it.
My family likes these biscuits with just butter and jam. If they want biscuits and gravy, I make the angel biscuits that have a more substantial texture.
ps: I am a grandmother of 7 (nana, actually) and have been making biscuits all my life.
For the record, any self-rising flour you find will be milled from lower-gluten wheat than the AP flour of the same brand, so if it's biscuits you want using self-rising flour is not "cheating" - it's a good idea. Very downhome Southern as well, since I doubt there's more than one or two biscuit-bakers between Louisville and the Gulf that don't use it!
White Lily is simply the softest of the lot. You do NOT want to use this for either dumplings or drop biscuits, since it MUST be kneaded to develop enough gluten just to hold together.
A tip for anyone who doesn't care for the taste of baking powder - go with Hain Pure Foods Featherweight or Bob's Red Mill. They affect the taste of the final prodoct the least of all the ones I've tried.
I fooled around with different ways to make biscuits for years, until I looked at the recipe in my Gourmet cookbook:
You can also find it on Epicurious.
The only thing I did differently is that I used 1/2 lard and 1/2 butter. I don't like using Crisco because of the transfats.
Anyway, my son declared that they "pwned."
I used regular all purpose flour. I could seek out some White Lily, I suppose, but this worked well.
FWIW, here is a recipe that was posted in F&W, by the loved Southern cook and cookbook author, Edna Lewis.
I would agree that the least amount of mixing and kneading makes the fluffiest biscuits.
Best of luck!
re: sonofoodie
Very, very similar to the White Lily recipe. Same basic ingredients and method, adds baking soda and uses a slightly higher proportion of fat to flour. Bakes at 450 instead of 500 degrees.
Classic Southern biscuit. Lewis probably used White Lily. How many Southerners use anything else for baking?
I feel a bit dense here....I'm seeing terms such as hard wheat and soft wheat flying past at the same time as pastry flour, all purpose flour, bread flour, self rising flour and high and low gluten flours.
I can buy different flours, labelled as pastry, all purpose, unbleached and whole wheat at the grocers. At the specialty shops, I can buy bread machine mixes and others, such as hard wheat and soft wheat, as well as bean and rice flours., and some that just confuse me...so, what is White Lily, or whatever that other one is that was mentioned? How do I know what flour is low gluten and which is high gluten, and what do I want to use the high or low gluten flours for?
re: violabratsche
White lily brand flour is a southern white flour and is made with a soft wheat. Good for biscuits or soft pastries. It is hard to find in the northeast and in the west.
High gluten flour is basically for bread.
This is my home baker's perspective. I'm sure others will have a more scientific explanation.
re: violabratsche
This might help:
Generally, I follow what the recipe calls for but understanding the difference is helpful if you want to make substitutions (with so many different types, I often run out of one but have others available) or want to change the texture somewhat. I also have gluten so I can add protein, if I need. I don't have the differences memorized, though, and depend on the charts.
Like Dorothy, it turns out that I had the power all the time.
The answer was indeed the recipe on the White Lily bag. Simple and perfect, except that I subbed the shortening with half shortening and half butter.
And, this is a reach, but I'm going to give you all a great tip. There's a town in south Georgia call Sylvania. I was down there visiting a wonderful old friend who retired to her home town. There's a market in downtown (the 3 blocks that comprise it) Sylvania called "Moat's Supermarket". They've been making their own pork sausage for 70 years or so. Mr. Moat, at 100 years old STILL works the meat counter- he weighed up and packaged my purchase. The sausage is from local pigs, and tastes like a combination between a good polish kielbasa and a country sausage. I bought 2 pounds, froze them and brought them back to NC.
So, I made biscuits (aka Cat's Heads) and sausage with sausage gravy. Was a big hit.
Another great pickup from there- a man who makes ribbon cane syrup- and gives it away. He says that the Lord has granted him with the bounty, and he wants to share it. And man, that's some great cane syrup- perfect atop a White Lily biscuit.
re: pikawicca
I use JP`s big daddy`s biscuit recipe on allrecipe.com. its easy and they are big
and fluffy. we have a couple of lady`s from arkansas visiting this weekend and
I live in California. I made JP`s biscuits and these lady`s said they had to have this
recipe. it`s nice to get up and have biscuits and gravy waiting for you with some
country style sausage.
I think the best biscuits are made from Bisquick. That could just be a memory of my grandmother, though. I've also made them from a recipe in an old Joy of Cooking that is also very good. Both of my grandmothers were from Missouri farm country, so there were a lot of biscuits to be had in their kitchens. The Joy of Cooking belonged to one of them.
re: visnis
I was just about to post the same thing about Bisquick. Especially if you don't have access to specialty flours. I think we did learn to make them with Crisco, too. The main emphasis in preparing them was to just barely incorporate the liquid with a fork, and give a couple of kneads (the minimum again) to shape the slab before cutting them.

Fabulous leadership from the prinicipal. School nurse and teachers are knowledgeable and friendly. Very welcoming for guests and parents, but are very strict about signing in at office to step into school. Looking out for safety of students is comforting to parents. Need to have Board of Ed. do something about the air conditioning situation. None in classrooms is difficult especially for child with asthma. Overall a very pleasant school and staff.
This is a wonderful school. The staff seem very patient and caring. The teachers are very professional. The reading program is excellent and encourages the parents to become more involved with the students progress. Also the school nurse is very well trained and takes no chances in emergency situations. The childrens safety always comes first. I would recommend this school to everyone.
i think its unfair that the class rooms and through out the school doesnt have AC but the front office does....something needs to be done...plus all i got from the front office anytime i visited was plan out right attitude personally i think this school is awful!!!!!
West Salisbury Elementary is one of the best schools I believe in the county. They have a very caring staff, who not only care about how much the children are learning, but also about their complete well-being. They all have excellent teaching skills and work well together. The reading program at the school is one of the finest in the county. I would recommend this school to all parents. It's wonderful!

Notre Dame wasn't able to overcome an early four-run deficit as Cincinnati held on for a 4-3 victory in the rubber game of their BIG EAST Conference series at Frank Eck Stadium Sunday afternoon.
The Irish drop to 13-9-1 overall and 4-2 in the league.
Notre Dame did not go quietly in the bottom of the ninth inning.
After Jake Geglein retired the first two Irish batters, sophomore David Mills reached with a seeing-eye single and moved into scoring position on a wild pitch.
Sophomore A.J. Pollock then reached on a check-swing, infield single that Cincinnati third baseman Mike Spina tried to bare-hand, but when Spina wasn't able to scoop the roller Mills ran through the stop sign of Irish head coach Dave Schrage at third base.
Bearcat shortstop Chris Peters scooped up the ball and threw home where catcher Ryan Baker made an acrobatic play to catch the high throw and tag out a hard-charging Mills to end the game.
Irish sophomore Eric Maust (1-1) was charged with the loss.
Pollock and Mills led the Notre Dame offensive attack. Pollock went 4-for-5 with an RBI and run scored. The centerfielder has a pair of four-hit games in his last four starts. Mills went 3-for-5 with an RBI.
Notre Dame returns to action this week a non-conference game against Western Michigan on Tuesday (5:05 p.m.) and exhibition game against the South Bend Silverhawks (5:30 p.m.) on Wednesday.

Absolutely love it! I have 2 large dogs who sleep on the bed and live in the country, so dirty paws are a way of life. The brown hides the dirt fairly well, and brushes off easily. Also, it is machine washable so I can throw it in each week. No shrinking or fading, looks fantastic even after 5 washes. Can't see any difference with the shams that haven't been washed yet. Nice weight. I have a light blanket under for colder nights but will need nothing with it for the summer. Aside from washing and staining issues I've had with other comforters that tear easily from my dogs' nails when they are rolling around foolishly. This fabric feels strong and, combined with the stitching, I don't see nails tearing through for a VERY long time. Absolutely love it! No complaints and would buy another any time.
I bought this because the price was right. It fit what I was looking for. It is thin, so it is good as a stand alone blanket or a topper to put over comforter. I like the design that is stiched it to it giving the quilt look. The picture and the description of it being Microfiber--made me think it might be thick, plush, and too hot...but I took a gamble on it based on the customer reviews that it was thin. It is 90% cotton and 10% polyester---it is easy care, wash and dry. I was glad when it came it was what I wanted. I wanted a thin, solid neutral colored quilt like blanket and that is what I got. I am happy the price was not outragous, well below $100 was the right price for me.
The coverlet is beautifully stitched and looks quite expensive. I like being able to wash it and that it comes out of the dryer as good as new! I bought the full/queen size and it fits perfectly on my queen bed and the pillow shams fit standard pillows, too. The coverlet is lightweight and looks like a fine quilt. I get lots of compliments on it. If you get very cold at night and need lots of covers you will love this coverlet as it holds in heat. Since it is not cotton it does not breath like cotton. Personally, I get very hot under it and would prefer cotton. My husband, who is usually cold at night even kicks off the coverlet during his sleep when he, too gets hot. I would recommend it to anyone who lives in a cold room. But if your house is comfortable you will get too hot.
Very happy with size, weight, and color of coverlet and shams. Fits bed nicely; not skimpy at all. I consider this item to be an excellent value for the price. Would definitely recommend.
I ordered this to help keep cat hair off my actual duvet and it is awesome! Easy to wash and care for. Inexpensive but does not look cheap. Color is great. Light weight. It was exactly what I needed to throw over my bed!
Totally luck that this was the perfect shade of yellow I wanted. King size fits a queen bed perfectly not to need a bed skirt.
I bought the blue set in a king for our queen bed. It serves as a bedspread and reaches the floor on all 3 sides so a dust ruffle is not needed. It is the perfect weight for year round in the South. A great value!
I purchased this for someone with a twin bed. As I wanted the coverlet to reach the floor on the end and the sides of the bed , I purchased the double/queen. It was about six inches to long on one side so I did have to alter it but I believe the twin would have been too short. The coverlet is a beautiful soft blue quilted fabric and well made.
Very pleased with the delivery time, the actual quilt set itself. It is thin but that is exactly what I wanted. I would purchase it again with no qualms.
Although I ended up returning the coverlet set, it was because the color wasn't good with the items I already had in the room, and I didn't want to change it all. I ordered another set that was less taupe, and more cream. This item is very nice, and would work well if you need a more taupe color or are not trying to match already exising colors.

The ruling I'm relying on is "establish that the name you want fits within a pattern of naming for your applicable time/place." >>> Good. This is a good source if you can interest them in looking for you. And yes, while it is easiest to choose from a recognized list of approved names, other evidence from reputable sources is accepted. Jaume replied to her with: <<< On the other hand, the existance of another Devorah is good news for you, since the heralds will insist on a period name, and maybe a period spelling, but for a name whose period spellings are in other alphabets, modern transliterations appear to be the norm rather than the exception - Japanese personas, for example, frequently have h's and k's in their names rather than f's and c's. If you can figure out what her documentation for the name was, it might well be applicable for your persona as well. >>> Don't be overly concerned about the exact spelling. Spelling in period was often inexact, although the invention of the printing press helped solidify it. There are period documents where the same name is spelled three different ways. In the same document. There is a well-known name herald locally, Daniel de Lincoln, who often spells his name differently in different email messages, to prove the point. So, even if they will only pass "Devorah" but you wish to spell it "D'vorah", get it passed with one spelling but just use the other yourself.

Posted: Monday, July 14, 2014 --- 7:53 p.m.
CHICAGO (AP) -- The U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago has upheld a lower court ruling dismissing a lawsuit filed by five states seeking the placement of barriers to keep Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio and Pennsylvania claim the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Chicago's Metropolitan Water Reclamation District are causing a public nuisance by failing to physically separate a network of rivers and canals from Lake Michigan.
The appeals court ruled Monday that the states have failed to make a claim for which relief can be granted.
The appeals court said the states haven't alleged facts that the corps or the water reclamation district are operating the Chicago Area Waterway System in a manner that is likely to allow Asian carp to reach Lake Michigan.

Nokia develops Web server for S60

|Front engine, front-wheel drive / all-wheel drive
The Toyota Highlander (トヨタ クルーガー), also called Toyota Kluger in Japan and Australia, is a midsize crossover SUV.
It was announced in April 2000 at the New York Auto Show and arrived in late 2000 in Japan and in January 2001 in North America, the Highlander became the first car-based midsize SUV or midsize crossover.[1] The Highlander is the crossover counterpart to the more rugged truck-based midsize 4Runner and had become Toyota's best-selling SUV until the smaller RAV4 outsold it in 2006.
Toyota could not use the "Highlander" name in Australia and Japan, since it is a trademarked trim line of the Hyundai Terracan SUV.

Called the Kluger in Japan and Australia, the Highlander shared the Toyota Camry platform with its Lexus RX/Toyota Harrier cousin and came in five and seven-seat configurations, and became a sales success for Toyota in a number of markets across the world. The Highlander came standard with front wheel drive and offered all wheel drive (50:50 front:rear fixed torque split). Unlike Toyota's own 4Runner and other midsized competitors such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, or Chevrolet TrailBlazer, the Highlander aimed for on-road comfort with its unit body construction and independent rear suspension. Although it was originally longer than the 1996-2002 4Runner, the Highlander was surpassed in length by the redesigned 4Runner in 2003.
The Highlander was available in three trim lines in the United States: the Base model, the Sport model, and the Limited model. The Base and Limited models were present when the Highlander was initially introduced, while the Sport model was introduced in March 2006.
In 2004 the wheels on the Limited trim changed from a 6-spoke, to a 5-spoke alloy. The base-model Highlander rims also changed from steel-rims to the alloy rims that were on the 01-03 Highlander Limited and B-Package. The Sport models had a distinctive grille design, differentiating themselves from the non-Sport models. Wheel styling also serves to differentiate the various models—the hybrid sports a unique twin-spoke design.
The Kluger was introduced to Australia during 2003. It was available in three guises: the CV model, the CVX model, and the Grande model. A limited edition CV Sport model was also released in 2006. There was no hybrid model available in Australia. The only engine offered was the 3.3L 3MZ-FE V6.
- 2001-2003 2.4 L 2AZ-FE I4, 160 hp (119 kW)
- 2001-2003 3.0 L 1MZ-FE V6, 220 hp (164 kW)
- 2004-2007 3.3 L 3MZ-FE V6, 230 hp (172 kW)
The 3.0-liter engine was able to propel the Kluger from 0-60 mph in approximately 8.8 seconds. In 2004 the Kluger was given a new 3.3-liter V6 engine to compete with the more powerful V6 offerings from its competitors, mainly the Nissan Murano and the Honda Pilot. The larger engine made it possible for the Kluger to reach 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.8 seconds.
Model year changes
In addition to the 3.3L engine, 2004 V6-powered models were equipped with a new 5-speed automatic transmission, replacing a 4-speed automatic transmission, while the 4-cylinder models continued to use the old 4-speed automatic transmission. This year also saw the introduction of the optional third row seat allowing for two additional passengers. The unibody was slightly modified behind the second row seats to include a depression in the trunk floor able to accommodate the optional third row seating. On models without third row seating, this depression was turned into a storage compartment. (Prior to 2004 the spare tire was accessible from inside the vehicle where the third row seating would subsequently be located; beginning in 2004 the spare tire is accessible from underneath the vehicle.) Subtle changes to the front grille, front and rear bumpers, and headlights round-out the major changes for the 2004 mid-cycle refresh.
Beginning in 2006, Highlanders sold in Canada are offered only in a V6 all-wheel drive configuration. Hybrid models are available with part-time four-wheel drive which Toyota refers to as "4WD-i" where the rear wheels are powered by the separate electric motor.
Base models are equipped with a limited slip differential, while up-scale models have a stability control system.
The Japanese Kluger was released with a centre console integrated with the dashboard, while the North American Highlander initially lacked this integrated centre console. The integrated centre console was introduced in all U.S. Highlanders and in Canadian Limited Highlanders in the 2002 model year, and in all Canadian Highlanders in the 2003 model year. However, for these early Highlanders without the integrated centre console, a smaller non-integrated stand-alone centre console was available as an option, which was installed at the factory or could be installed by the dealer.
Typical fuel economy using the Australian standard testing regime is 12.3 L/100 km (23.0 mpg-imp; 19.1 mpg-US).
Safety/crash testing
Anti-lock brakes, brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution were standard, Vehicle Stability Control w/traction control optional on 2001-03 models became standard for 2004 models (Hybrids come standard with VDIM). Also standard for 2004 was a tire pressure monitor. Front seat-mounted side torso airbags were optional on 2001-06 models, while front and second row side curtain airbags were optional on 2004-06 models. Side airbags became standard on 2007 models and the curtain airbags gained a rollover sensor that year as well.

In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests the Highlander was rated "Good" overall in the frontal offset crash test.[5] The IIHS reported the Highlander had one of the lowest fatality rates among all vehicles, only the 4Runner had a lower SUV fatality rate. This report looked at 2001-05 model year vehicles.[6]
Hybrid (MHU28, 2005-2007)
Initially, the Kluger was a regular, non-hybrid SUV driven by an internal combustion engine, but later Toyota introduced a hybrid version, the Kluger Hybrid that utilizes the company's Hybrid Synergy Drive technology combined with the company's 3MZ-FE 3.3-liter V6 engine offered in either FWD or AWD trim. The hybrid drivetrain was unveiled at the 2004 North American International Auto Show, and was offered to the public in July 2005 as a 2006 model. The alternator, power steering pump, water pump and AC compressor were no longer belt-driven accessories rather powered by electricity, except the alternator which is incorporated into the hybrid system.
In North America, the hybrid version was called the Highlander Hybrid. It was also the first seven-seat hybrid vehicle. With the electric motors providing power including lower speeds overall acceleration is improved particularity at passing speeds. Other additions include Toyota's Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system and Electronically Controlled Brake (ECB). The California Air Resources Board gave it a SULEV emission rating. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (revised standards) rated it at 28 mpg-US (8.4 L/100 km; 34 mpg-imp) City/25 mpg-US (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpg-imp) Highway for FWD models and 27 mpg-US (8.7 L/100 km; 32 mpg-imp)/25 mpg-US (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpg-imp) for AWD models. This system is near identical to that of the Lexus RX 400h. All-wheel drive models were rated to tow 3,500 lb (1,600 kg).

Toyota revealed the second-generation Highlander and Highlander Hybrid at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show, with American sales beginning in July and hybrids in late September.[8][9]But the second-generation Highlander and Highlander Hybrid are not sold in Japan.The sole powertrain in the 2008 Highlander is a 270 horsepower (201 kW) 3.5-liter 2GR-FE V6 mated to a five-speed automatic. The four-cylinder model had been discontinued but added again in 2009. While the 3.5-liter engine has 55 more bhp than the previous 3.3-liter V6 and dimensional increases along with increased sound proofing added nearly 500 pounds to the vehicle's curb weight of approximately 4,000 lbs, fuel economy is slightly improved. The EPA estimated fuel economy for front-wheel drive models is at18 mpg-US (13 L/100 km; 22 mpg-imp) city / 24 mpg-US (9.8 L/100 km; 29 mpg-imp) highway (last gen: 17 mpg-US (14 L/100 km; 20 mpg-imp) city / 23 mpg-US (10 L/100 km; 28 mpg-imp) hwy).[10]
The same three trim levels are offered (Base, Sport, and Limited) and buyers are still able to choose between front-drive or all-wheel drive. Also new is an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system. Sport and Limited models get a standard backup camera using a 3.5-inch LCD display. Major options include leather seats, heated seats, a touch-screen DVD based navigation system, a new Smart Key System, an upgraded JBL Synthesis stereo, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with 9-inch screen, and a towing package that increases towing capacity to 5000 pounds.
Currently, the Highlander/Kluger is produced in Japan for global markets. Toyota intended on building the Highlander in Blue Springs, Mississippi for the North American market in the 2011 model year.[11] However, the Prius will be built there instead, and the Highlander will instead be built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton, Indiana, from the 2010 model year onward for North America, replacing Tundra production.[12] At this time, no decision has been made on Highlander Hybrid production at TMMI. TMMI Highlander production began in October 2009.
In Australia, the new generation Kluger was launched in August, 2007. There are three grades available, KX-R, KX-S and Grande. All grades are available with either 2WD or AWD. The base model KX-R is also available with either five or seven seats, whilst the latter grades are seven seaters only. Specifications are mostly similar to the US Highlander, sharing the same 3.5 litre V6 2GR-FE engine and five-speed automatic transmission. However, there are no plans at present to introduce a hybrid version of the Kluger into the Australian market.
Safety/crash testing
All models come standard with enhanced Vehicle Stability Control which immediately alters electric powering steering assist w/traction control (hybrids come standard with VDIM), anti-lock brakes, brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution. Also standard is a tire pressure monitor, a driver's knee airbag, front seat-mounted side torso airbags, side curtain airbags for all three rows which includes a rollover sensor and active front headrests. Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) is also standard which prevents rolling backwards on slopes, and Downhill Assist Control (DAC) is standard on AWD trims.

The IIHS rates the Highlander "Good" overall in their frontal offset crash test.[14] And "Good" overall in the side impact crash test, with "Good" rating in all nine measured categories.[15]
In ANCAP testing the Klueger is given a rating but only a rating for pedestrian protection.[16]
2009 models
For 2009, Toyota again offered a 4-cylinder for front-wheel drive models with the all-new ULEV-II certified 2.7-liter 1AR-FE I4 paired to a six-speed automatic. It generates 187 hp (139 kW) at 5,800 rpm and 186 ft·lbf (252 N·m) of peak torque at 4,100 rpm on regular 87 octane fuel. The four-cylinder delivers an EPA estimated fuel economy of 20 mpg-US (12 L/100 km; 24 mpg-imp) city and 27 mpg-US (8.7 L/100 km; 32 mpg-imp) highway.[17] This is better than the previous model's four cylinder with 19 mpg-US (12 L/100 km; 23 mpg-imp)/25 mpg-US (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpg-imp). Toyota will begin building Highlanders at the Indiana plant (TMMI) in late 2009.
The Kluger Hybrid features Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive which continues to allow an electric only powered mode for short distances and speeds. Weight and cost have been improved over the previous hybrid.[18][19]
The expanded size and new features have led to an increase of 500 pounds to its curb weight. All Highlander Hybrids are all-wheel drive, and the EPA has rated the hybrid at 27 mpg-US (8.7 L/100 km; 32 mpg-imp) city/25 mpg-US (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpg-imp) highway,[20] same as the previous model. The Highlander's fuel economy, while better than the Lexus RX 400h's, lags behind the compact 4cyl Ford Escape Hybrid and latest RX 450h, but still produces significantly fewer emissions than the non hybrid version with a CARB SULEV rating.
The Highland Hybrid continues to use the same 3.3-liter 3MZ-FE V6 (208 hp) from the prior model, net power is 270 hp (201 kW). VDIM and Electronically Controlled Brake remain new features include a driver selectable electric only EV mode (when possible) and another ECON mode which restricts acceleration and minimizes air conditioning during acceleration.
Highlander FCHV (2007-)
It was a test vehicle using compressed hydrogen gas, with average fuel economy of 68.3 miles/kg (approximate mpg equivalent).[21]
The vehicle was unveiled in 2007 LA motor show.[22]
Chinese version
Chinese version of Highlander (ASU40/GSU45) was unveiled in 13th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition.[23]
It was built in its Kyūshū, Japan assembly plant and its Ikeda, Osaka, Japan assembly plant beginning in 2007-05.
GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. (GTMC) in Nansha District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China began to produce Toyota Highlander in 2009-05-25.[24]

For learn Java just get a damn book and learn the syntax and constructs.
Now , If you want to learn how to program go to the nearest university and get a degree on software engineering and learn the concepts, data structures etc. Programming languages are just tools as a hammer, You dont need a certification to use a hammer but yes you need a degree for become an engineer.
dxxvi replied ago:
Java is not a regular hammer, it's a multi-function tool, I think. We need to know about that tool quite well to use it in the best way.
If we don't talk about the exam cost, those exams are very good (not like MS exams). If you're just a Joe Java programmer, I think you should try it (at home only to save money).

Maybe this will stop the guys who cram, take the test, then get the cert.

The Harry Chapin Food Bank is expanding its outreach, teaming up with Wake Up America of Southwest Florida to supply food free of charge to nearly 100 local social service organizations.
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Both organizations have been serving the hungry for decades. Now, Harry Chapin is expanding its services to become Wake Up America's new collection and distribution site. Wake Up America takes surplus food donations from stores and manufacturers to give to the community.
"They serve not only some of the agencies we serve, but some other agencies, so we'll be expanding our services," said Al Breslain, executive director of Harry Chapin Food Bank.
The two organizations came together Monday afternoon for a celebratory luncheon to bring volunteers together in the new partnership.
Changing policies and a lack of volunteers have forced Wake Up America to find new resources to keep up their service. They will shut down their distribution center, currently at 2135 Central Avenue, on July 26.
"We're really excited Harry Chapin has offered to take all of our agencies in and to work with us to make sure there's nobody left out anywhere and that nobody will go hungry," said Belinda Harper, board president of Wake Up America.
Harry Chapin has been serving the southwest Florida community since 1983. They provide perishable and non-perishable food to over 30,000 people in need monthly.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Tea party candidate Milton Wolf is attacking both Republican U.S. senators from Kansas as he tries to unseat three-term incumbent Pat Roberts in the state's GOP primary.
U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran declined Thursday to respond to Wolf's criticism of him over his chairmanship of the Republican National Senatorial Committee.
Wolf contends the committee betrayed the Republican Party and its conservative base by supporting Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran in his hotly contested primary race against a tea party challenger. Cochran narrowly won a runoff earlier this week.
Wolf said in an interview that he holds Moran responsible for what he called the national committee's war on conservative Republicans.
Roberts spokesman Leroy Towns said Wolf is attacking Moran to generate support nationally that he hasn't been able to build in Kansas.

Justice Joyce L. Kennard justified the state's interference in protests on private property because "the state's interest in promoting collective bargaining to resolve labor disputes." She went on to explain that while other groups have no such rights, California "may single out labor-related speech for particular protection or regulation." The California court's 6-1 ruling, overturned an appeals court ruling which decided that giving labor unions special status is a violation of the United States Constitution. The case originated from a protest out side Ralph's grocery store in Sacramento. The store had asked that picketers be removed from the entrance of the store. A trial court refused to order the protestors removal.

What would you say makes La Perla unique?
La Perla is unique because of the intricate architecture which provides a rich sense of history that takes you back in time right in the heart of downtown St Louis.
What is your most memorable event held at La Perla?
The most memorable event at La Perla was a wedding reception where they had a roaring 1920s theme in which they decorated the space as a Speakeasy. All the guests had to dress up in the 1920s and went through the back door. They had a 8-piece band ala 1920s and a bathtub full of beer (cue the Prohibition era). Guests also needed a password to enter the facility in which they were given in the invitation. Sounds awesome!
Additional Information
In the basement of La Perla, there is an old walk-in vault since the building was a bank in the old days. Currently, it is being remodeled to create a private lounge area for an enhanced overall experience!
