Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Conservative candidate Nicos Anastasiades won Cyprus' presidency Sunday by one of the widest margins in 30 years, promising to do what it takes to quickly secure a financial rescue package from international creditors and prevent the country from sliding into economic oblivion.
Anastasiades, 66, won the runoff election with 57.48 percent of the vote, well ahead of left-wing rival Stavros Malas, who nabbed 42.51 percent, final results showed.
The election comes as Cyprus is negotiating a much-needed bailout with the eurozone's other 16 countries and the International Monetary Fund. The wide margin of victory in favor of Anastasiades indicates Cypriots are prepared, to a degree, to stomach what could be painful austerity measures attached to a bailout, as well as a snub to left-wing rule that many feel is responsible for the country's sorry economic state.
Anastasiades, who takes office March 1 for a five-year-term, promised to create a government of "national unity" though it was unclear what its composition would be.
"My first priority is to reinstate Cyprus' credibility," Anastasiades said in a speech after his victory. "I'm determined to work together with our EU partners, and at the same time, fulfill our responsibilities to the utmost. I am committed to making all the necessary measures to steer our country out of the economic crisis."
He added that he would move quickly to tap the country's newfound offshore natural gas deposits and apply to NATO's Partnership for Peace program, which allows for cooperation between the military alliance and non-member countries.
Most Cypriots are aware that there's little option but to secure outside financial help -- which will undoubtedly come with demands for public sector spending cuts and other austerity measures -- to end the uncertainty dragging down the economy. Cyprus has already enacted deep public sector wage cuts and tax hikes under a preliminary bailout agreement.
As election results trickled in, hundreds of Anastasiades' supporters poured into the streets of the capital, Nicosia, in celebration, honking horns and waving flags.
The new president will face a tough battle convincing reluctant countries, especially Europe's economic powerhouse Germany, that tiny Cyprus deserves help after its banks lost billions of euros on bad Greek debt.
"My government of national unity will make all the necessary structural reforms and, through dialogue with our European and international partners, will safeguard the longstanding strengths of our economy and serve the desired goal of growth and jobs," Anastasiades said.
His defeated rival said the new president could count on his support if his actions were deemed to be beneficial for Cyprus.
"We will stand by the new president if we assess his actions and policies to be for the good of the country because the unity of our people is what's most important right now," Malas said as he conceded the election. "At the same time, we will be strong critics of whichever actions and decisions that we deem not to serve the country's best interests."
Anastasiades has capitalized on what many feel were five years of failed left-wing rule under outgoing President Dimitris Christofias and his communist-rooted AKEL party that caused Cyprus' economic troubles.
Christofias was widely believed to have waited too long to respond to the crisis and to curb spending. He was also seen as dragging out negotiations with international creditors and missing the opportunity to secure a bailout earlier.
Anastasiades, who leads the main opposition Democratic Rally party, has boasted of his connections with Europe's center-right leaders and seeks to spend political capital he's built up over the years to convince Europe that Cyprus deserves help.
"When facing great challenges, we want Europe by our side," Anastasiades said.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso congratulated Anastasiades, saying Cypriots had given him "a strong mandate to implement his program of reform and to do what it takes to ensure fiscal and financial sustainability."
Barroso said he spoke to Anastasiades "and I have assured him that he can count on the continued commitment of the European Commission to assist Cyprus to overcome the challenges it faces."
Last year, Cyprus sought financial assistance of up to EUR17 billion ($22.7 billion), a sum roughly equivalent to its annual gross domestic product, which has raised concerns about whether the country would be able to pay back any loan. The country has been unable to borrow from international markets since mid-2011, and turned to long-time ally Russia for a EUR2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) loan to keep it afloat in 2012.
But Anastasiades' won't have an easy time negotiating a bailout without possibly more austerity pain for Cypriots, analysts said.

but ben said no more ping pong.
that's not a leader?
but ben said no more ping pong.
that's not a leader?
How about lead by passing better, short armed Sanders then throw behind Wheaton for a easy first.
This loss goes on Ben. He personally giftwrapped this win for the Bears.
1.15) Ryan Shazier - ILB/OLB
2.46) Stephon Tuitt - DE
3.97) Dri Archer - RB
4.118 ) Martavis Bryant - WR
5.157) Shaquille Richardson - CB
6.173) Wesley Johnson - OT
6.192) Jordan Zumwalt - ILB
7.215) Daniel McCullers - DT
7.230) Rob Blanchflower - TE
"Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it." -- Chuck Noll
Ben hasn't been the same since the injury last year. Not only did he cost us this game, he threw the late pick last week and tossed the 2 picks to basically end games for us last year. He is no longer a clutch QB. Not on 3rd down and not late in games. He's playing small when it matters most. Maybe some of what Pap stated is to blame but maybe he has just lost it.
"I hate him. Everybody says I'm supposed to be polite when I talk to you all, but I hate him..." "He talks too much, he doesn't make sense, he's fat, he's sloppy, he acts like he's the best thing since sliced bread. He's ugly, he stinks, his mouth stinks, his breath stinks, and basically his soul stinks, too.
"Not too many people have personalities like that and survive in life. I don't know how he does it."
-Kris Jenkins on Warren Sapp
ben has to be so sick and tired of never having a decent oline. Even the good years the line sucked but he had enough talent around him to still win. i agree ben has not been great but what this team needs is new coaching starting with tomlin all the way down to the towel boys.thats where you start over .will this happen probaly not cause thats how the rooneys do business.
Ben's touch throws seem frequently inaccurate and hard to catch.
Duress will do that to you and he's under plenty of that. Not an excuse, but a reality of trying to play QB in this league. Maybe he is losing it a bit, but with a stable line I think he would be the Ben we love.

Narcissistic injury is the term used for any threat to a narcissist's outsized ego or self-esteem.
Ben is physically talented but above the shoulders not so much. How many times did the Bears show blitz right in his face? Manning would have adjusted his line to where he felt the blitz was coming from. He would motion a wr from the slot and put them in pass protection. Most importantly he would get the ball out quickly. But what did he do? He did nothing and just snapped the ball and expected 5 linemen to block 7 rushers. These are the little victories that we lose on a consistent basis and then the line gets blamed for it.

iLearn: Poland classroom gets to use iPads
POLAND, N.Y. (WKTV) - Chalkboards seem to be a thing of the past in modern classrooms, and now interactive smartboards aren't the biggest hit at Poland Elementary School. The newest thing are iPads in one of the school's third grade classroom.
Barbara Brinck's classroom was chosen to be given iPads to use in the learning process.
Principal Chris Clancy said, "Third grade is really kind of a tipping point at school where kids move from a dependent to independent stage. We know we could train them to using these are learning tools and ultimately they could use them independently."
Mrs. Brinck said, "On a daily basis, it makes them more excited to come to school. They can't wait to get here, they like to know what are we doing, when do we work with the iPads, can we work on our projects? That's what I get greeted with at the door."
The iPads also help in the teaching process, according to the school. Mrs. Brinck can give her class a review quiz, and the results can be brought up immediately on the smartboard.
Brinck said, "Now, I know by looking at the quiz, I can look at the results. I can see I taught this and they know it or gee, I have to go back and spend some more time on that."
The third grade class shares with two other classes and all subjects get a chance to be taught via the tablet device.

After the Civil War, as many families were moving across the Great Plains to a better life "Out West," every young boy and many a young girl wanted to be a "Cowboy." That's when great herds of cattle were being driven across the country to feed the growing American nation, both east and west.
Grand Junction and Mesa County were no different than the rest of the nation. It was the code of the West that made our pioneer ancestors what they were in our neck of the woods; they followed what they called the "Cowboy Code of Ethics":
"You don't shoot a man in the back; you look him in the eye, face to face and call him out; you don't disrespect a woman; and you don't take someone else's stuff, be it their horse, cow, food or good name.
"You ride hard, draw from the hip, shoot straight and always pony up, win or lose."
This brings us to one of the photos of a young boy in his cowboy outfit taken about 1900, here in Mesa County. The photo came from the Charter/Hughes family album from Fruita, which now is housed at the Loyd Files Room at the Museum of Western Colorado.
A first look at the photo you might think this young boy is smoking a cigar, but enlarging the photo the reader will find it's a piece of gum in his mouth. He has on his cowboy gear, his rope, bandana, hat, gloves, knife and rifle; he is just missing his boots and horse.
Fast forward about 30 years and thanks to movies, books, dime novels, television and honest-to-goodness real cowboys still around to show us the ropes, a smart thinking business franchise came into being. Photographers bought Shetland ponies by the herds. Together with tons of vests, chaps, six guns, bandanas and cowboy hats, these ambitious photographers rode the range by the thousands into all states to take pictures of a mother's little "buckaroo."
Every child in the neighborhood was the best salesman for the business as they would run home and beg their mother to have their photo taken on the back of a pony. This became as common as the neighborhood ice cream truck and the milkman.
These men who rode into our towns and cities, with their Shetland ponies, did their work well and just like the cowboy, Shane, rode back from whence they came, leaving behind lots of little smiling buckaroos.
Ask any baby boomer if they have a photo of themselves on the back of one of these Shetland ponies and you will see the hands raise. These photos are in albums or hanging on walls, showing grandpa or grandma as a child, smiling on their pony and dreaming of riding the range with their six guns, chaps, bandana and hat.
What a happy day when the pony man came to town. Looking at those photos brings a smile to the aging boomers, back when Red Ryder and Little Beaver were all the rage.
For all of us buckaroos, and yes I have a picture of myself on a pony, that was an important day when for just a few moments we became cowboys with Hoppy, Gene, Roy and Dale, Coop, the Lone Ranger, his side kick, Tonto, and the Duke. We were living the code of the West from the back of a horse.
While the franchise was gone by the 1960s, those smiling children's faces, whose photos are now placed behind glass frames hanging on the wall of our homes, are a lot older and a lot kinder because a cowboy just can't do anything wrong by following the code of the West.
Life just couldn't get any better than that day you sat straight up in the saddle, looked the other guy in the eye, viewing the world from the back of your horse, tipping back your hat, smiling at your sidekick, and saying "yup."
So to the unknown young cowpoke from Fruita back in 1900, we hope life was very good to you, that the sunsets you rode into were always wonderful, and all your trails were happy.
God bless all you buckaroos out there.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Michael Carter-Williams had 11 points and 11 assists, freshman Jerami Grant had a season-high 11 points and two blocks, and No. 4 Syracuse beat Eastern Michigan 84-48 on Monday night. Syracuse (6-0) has won 48 straight nonconference games and boosted its home winning streak to 26 games. Eastern Michigan (5-2) and the Orange had met just twice before, the last time also an 84-48 Syracuse victory a year ago in the Carrier Dome. EMU coach Rob Murphy spent seven seasons as an assistant coach under Jim Boeheim at Syracuse before taking the job with the Eagles two years ago. Carter-Williams, who led the nation in assists at 9.2 per game, had an erratic first half and finished with six of Syracuse's 18 turnovers. Eastern Michigan had 24 turnovers and was outscored 31-9 on the miscues.

Featured Offer from The Bible Study Hour View All Resources
by James Boice
Combines a serious examination of the state of today's church and a powerful solution: reclaiming the gospel of grace found in the confessional truths of the Reformation.
Though the Christian church has achieved a worldly sort of success — big numbers, big budgets, big outreaches — these are not good days for evangelicalism. Attendance is down, and it is increasingly difficult to distinguish so-called "believers" from their non-Christian neighbors — all because the gospel of grace has been neglected.In this work, now in paperback, the late James Montgomery Boice identifies what's happened within evangelicalism and suggests how the confessional statements of the Reformation — Scripture alone, Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and glory to God alone — can ignite full-scale revival. "A church without these convictions has ceased to be a true church, whatever else it may be," he wrote, but "if we hold to these doctrines, our churches and those we influence will grow strong."

Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn't seen or heard from in 20 years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye.
Harold pens a quick reply and, leaving Maureen to her chores, heads to the corner mailbox. But then, as happens in the very best works of fiction, Harold has a chance encounter, one that convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person. And thus begins the unlikely pilgrimage at the heart of Rachel Joyce's remarkable debut. Harold Fry is determined to walk 600 miles from Kingsbridge to the hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed because, he believes, as long as he walks, Queenie Hennessey will live.
Still in his yachting shoes and light coat, Harold embarks on his urgent quest across the countryside. Along the way he meets one fascinating character after another, each of whom unlocks his long-dormant spirit and sense of promise. Memories of his first dance with Maureen, his wedding day, his joy in fatherhood, come rushing back to him - allowing him to also reconcile the losses and the regrets. As for Maureen, she finds herself missing Harold for the first time in years.
And then there is the unfinished business with Queenie Hennessy.
A novel of unsentimental charm, humor, and profound insight into the thoughts and feelings we all bury deep within our hearts, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry introduces Rachel Joyce as a wise - and utterly irresistible - storyteller.
©2012 Rachel Joyce (P)2012 Random House Audio
"When it seems almost too late, Harold Fry opens his battered heart and lets the world rush in. This funny, poignant story about an ordinary man on an extraordinary journey moved and inspired me." (Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank)
"There's tremendous heart in this debut novel by Rachel Joyce, as she probes questions that are as simple as they are profound: Can we begin to live again, and live truly, as ourselves, even in middle age, when all seems ruined? Can we believe in hope when hope seems to have abandoned us? I found myself laughing through tears, rooting for Harold at every step of his journey. I'm still rooting for him." (Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife)
"Marvelous! I held my breath at his every blister and cramp, and felt as if by turning the pages, I might help his impossible quest succeed." (Helen Simonson, author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand)
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Wonderful Walkabout"
This is a lovely tale of an ordinary man setting off on a pilgrimage to visit an old friend who is dying. Harold believes as long as he walks, Queenie Hennessey will live. Without proper shoes, a map, or any plausible plan, he embarks on this journey. In a rut for the past 20 years, Harold is like a hamster jumping off the wheel, taking a new direction. He searches the recesses of his mind exploring his passionless marriage; history with his son; and his relationship with Queenie. Along the way, he encounters numerous people who both help and exploit his trek. Nothing is obvious or predictable.
You'll want to take your time with this one to appreciate the language and turn of phrase. One of my many favorite parts was the line, "Harold stopped measuring his journey in miles, but in remembering." The entire book was simply lovely and causes a bit of soul searching for the reader. Didn't rush through this one, savored all the text, and am a little wiser from the listening.
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"Give it time to get going"
After the first chapter I really did not expect to like this book. The writing was simple, straightforward British with limited vocabulary and somewhat restrained characters, such is not generally my cup of tea. Yet the more I listened the more I wanted to go on.
Very slowly the proverbial stiff upper lip becomes lost in a journey of self revelation. While remaining very ordinary, the story becomes extraordinary. This does not wallow in faith or religion, instead it examines memory and the stories we tell ourselves and those we don't.
By the end I laughed and teared up several times. The end of the story stuck with me and for the next day or two I wished I was still reading this story. The narration was excellent, imbibing a lot of emotion into the story. I have not set in the car to finish a chapter in a long time, but I did that a couple of times with this book. Highly recommended.
Addicted to Audible!
"My favorite book of 2013 so far!"
I first read this book several months ago and fell in love with it. I talked my bookclub into reading it and decided to try the audio version since I didnt have time to reread. I was enchanted with the audioversion, the reader is absolutely the perfect HAROLD!!! The story unfolds slowly just like Harold's walk was painstakingly slow. Each encounter Harold has with the random strangers he meets, changes him and awakens his awareness about his life, his relationships, his mistakes and finally he finds his redemption. I have highly recommended this book to my friends and most have enjoyed it as much as I did. I think it's one of my favorites of the year!

"To Be A Pilgrim!"
"...and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." - Hebrews 11:13
This novel reads like an inverted bildungsroman. It is a novel about the pilgrimages we all must take later in life and the penance that we all must finally pay. That indeed sounds like a dreary novel, but with Joyce's talent for prose and pacing this novel absolutely flows with funky characters and breathes with a gentle humor. For me, it was like I was reading a great novel by Peter Carey, or David Mitchell or Brady Udall. Those are the peers that she belongs with. The story of Harold Fry's pilgrimage is beautiful and the characters are vivid. Ultimately the book, like a soft hymn sings that we are all important to the people we come in contact with, no matter how simple and ordinary we may at first appear.
Jim Broadbent reads this novel with a nuance, liveliness, and sensitivity that one rarely find outside the theatre. One of the best narrations I've EVER listened to.
"beautifully written debut novel."
This is a debut novel, beautifully written. Harold Fry has recently retired from a job he hated, along with his boss, for at least 20 years. He believes that he has failed at everything he's ever done, including raising his son. His wife, Maureen, seems to agree that he's failed at everything since she scolds him for every little thing, even the way he butters his toast. So one day he gets a letter which is from a co-worker who he hasn't seen in 20 years, Queenie Hennessy. She is apparently dying and has written a letter to let him know that and to thank him for being kind to her at one time. Harold is immediately grief-stricken as well as feeling very guilty. He believes that while Queenie was kind to him, he failed her and let her get fired for something he had done. He sets out to send her a note that just says he's sorry. He has on casual clothes and very casual footwear to go to the mailbox. But he keeps walking. He stops for a burger and is told by the worker there that her aunt lived and recovered from cancer because people had faith that she would. Harold decides to undertake a pilgrimage of walking 600 miles to the hospice where Queenie is dying with the idea that if he can walk that distance he'll keep her from dying. So he starts on a two-month odyssey to reach his goal. He meets all kinds of people, some generous, some taking advantage of him. His pilgrimage becomes a celebrated cause with the newspapers getting hold of it. The results of all of this reveal his family secrets and in some ways has a very surprising result. This debut novel is already being listed as a possible Booker Prize winner, and we can expect more wonderful books from this author who seems very good at telling stories.

"A Great Story!"
What a delightful surprise to run onto this book! It will always be one of my favorites.
As Harold sets out on a walk of 600 miles to visit an old friend who is dying, he is totally unaware of what this journey will teach him about himself, his relationship with his friend and with is wife and son. It is a bittersweet story, but a story about personal growth, even late in life. I adore it. It is the kind of book I hope for every time I start a new one, but rarely find. I put it up there with "Water for Elephants."
I hear voices. But maybe that's because there's always an Audible book in my ear.
"An Unexpected Treasure."
I didn't expect what this book delivered. I thought it would be syrupy, preachy and maudlin - three of my least favorite attributes in a book. Because a few reviewers I follow recommended it, I bought it. I was engaged in the story in less than 5 minutes and found none of the treacle I dreaded.
This isn't a big book, but it certainly covers a lot of territory. I was taken with the way some age-old themes - like forgiveness and grief - were merged with such of-the-moment issues like social networking and a fickle society searching for the next new thing.
This story has authenticity and heart. It avoided the cliches that might have sunk it and emerged a real winner. I love the character of Harold Fry - partly because of how he was written and in equal measure because of the spot-on narration.
So hooked by audio that I have to read books aloud. *If my reviews help, please let me know.
""An Ordinary Man Doing Something Extraordinary..."
in an ordinary way."
...so Joyce describes her own book, a story she was originally writting for a BBC radio broadcast, while experiencing her own father suffering from cancer. [And in about a month from this review, the author will find out whether or not Harold Fry will continue his journey from the Man Booker long 12 to the Man Booker Short List.] Joyce obviously is a very talented writer. She has a sparse style and the ability to write descriptive and poetic sentences with simple ordinary words that have an almost child-like purity. Whether or not the book is short-listed, I expect to see many beautiful reads from this new author.
"It seemed to Harold that he had been waiting all his life to walk. He no longer knew how far he had come, but only that he was going forward."
As reviewers have said, this is beautifuly written and the journey the listener embarks on with the very buttoned-up Harold is both heart warming and heart wrenching. I see the brilliance in Harold Fry, but have to admit it wasn't one that I couldn't wait to get back to each time I had to pause; I didn't look forward to continuing the journey--it was somber. But, maybe that was the brilliance -- that it made me feel so sad and ache-y inside, so much like Harold. The characters that join in the pilgrimage add some levity, but seem to serve more as vehicles just to move along Harold's melancholic reminiscing. I'm glad I finished and I recommend, but this isn't a story for everyone. I couldn't help but be moved by "Night Music's" review; she mentioned that she was an elderly woman and found that "looking back can be very disheartening," and she couldn't finish listening. I wish I could tell her to continue the journey--there is redemption. Towards the end, Harold questions whether his journey was just folley and gets this simply put lovely reply,
"You got up and you did something. And if trying to find a way when you don't even know if you can get there isn't a small miracle; then I don't know what is."
Lovely and bittersweet; not ordinary at all.
"A generation Xer loved this book"
What can I say about Harold. He captures your heart and reminds me of the days of my grandparents and their stiff upper lip and absurd way of thinking of putting one foot in front of the other. I was captivated by the story even the pilgrim nonsense that is a brilliant way to show how social media is usually wrong and sensational seeking. The reader was excellent. Loved the book - it was GOOD and I haven't really listened to a GOOD book in awhile. Ignore the nonsense that people will post about it being a spiritual book and comparing it to this and that. It is a great story told by an engaging story teller.
Addicted to books, both print and audio-.
"Simply lovely"
I hesitated on this purchase because of its popularity (often I don't go for what everyone else raves about); also some of the negative reviews made me wonder. I was afraid it would be a hit-you-over-the-head-with-a-hammer tearjerker. I'm really picky: picky about good writing and extraordinarily picky about narration. I simply loved this book, and the reader was superb. Jim Broadbent strikes the perfect tone with the narration and his characterization of Harold. It is a beautiful story, read so tenderly, and I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I certainly hope Jim Broadbent does more audiobooks.

Every job has its hazards.
Teachers risk burn-out. Sales folks brave cold calls. Lawyers swallow scorn. Moms and Dads suffer car-pool cut-offs. Even coal-mine canaries have been pink-slipped by technology.
Food writing has its own kitchen quicksand.
You fear that beady eyes and coarse whiskers will appear on the family, friends and neighbors so frequently enlisted as guinea pigs.
You slavishly follow the camera-before-consumption rule, so only leftovers are eaten while actually hot.
You become obsessive-compulsive about roasting chickens with unexpected ingredients (I dunno, how 'bout Jim Beam?) and vegetables from okra to cabbage and spices from oregano to curry.
Curry? Yes, curried chicken was last year's food obsession, thanks to an inspirational starter recipe. This CASHEW CHICKEN CURRY is the dozenth version and darned close to the curbside take-aways that make London the curry capital of the world.
As for 2006, anyone for lamb, you know, lamb curry?
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 – 3 tablespoons curry powder (see ALANNA's TIPS)
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound chicken thighs or breasts, cut in bite-size pieces (see TIPS)
- 29 ounces canned diced tomato
- 1 pound carrots, diced
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup ground cashews
- 1 cup nonfat yogurt
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk
- 8 ounces frozen peas
Melt the butter in a Dutch oven on medium high. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook until soft. Stir in the next 5 ingredients (curry through salt). Add the meat in batches, cooking each one through. Add the tomato, carrots, mushroom and cilantro. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Stop here if you're cooking ahead.) Stir in remaining ingredients and heat through but do not boil, about 5 minutes. Serve over basmati rice.

This dish looks lovely (I'm a huge fan of curry).
This looks delicious, especially for this time of year in the midwest! Any way to omit the dairy from this recipe? I'm guessing I can sub an oil for the butter, but what about the yogurt? Could I use 1 or 1.5 cups (instead of .5 cups) of coconut milk, or maybe use the full-fat coconut milk instead of the lite version? Thanks!
PS This is such a great recipe, M, if it appeals to you, it really is working on a dairy-free version that works for you. I'm hungry for it NOW!
But for more ideas, I'm going to check with Facebook folks. If there's a good answer, I'll chime back in.
I love to make all kinds of stews and I know your recipes will be thoroughly enjoyed.
My plan is to cook a few recipes and freeze for work and enjoy them as I need them. I'm a 12 hour worker as a RN in ICU so this will make life much easier!

Thank you for taking a moment to write! I read each and every comment, for each and every recipe. If you have a specific question, it's nearly always answered quick-quick. But I also love hearing your reactions, your curiosity, even your concerns! When you've made a recipe, I especially love to know how it turned out, what variations you made, what you'll do differently the next time. ~ Alanna

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell answers questions during an NFL Super Bowl XLVII football game news conference at the New Orleans Convention Center, Friday, Feb. 1, 2013. in New Orleans. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
Related Stories
Player safety, the New Orleans Saints bounty program, cold-weather Super Bowls, even his popularity among New Orleans restaurant owners — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell touched on a wide range of topics Friday during the annual "State of the NFL." Among the highlights:
Goodell defended the league, which has come under increasing scrutiny following new studies about the long-term effects of concussions as well as recent suicides by former NFL players. President Barack Obama recently said if he had a son, he's not sure he'd let him play football. And the NFL is being sued by thousands of former players.
Goodell says steps the league has taken in recent seasons have made the game safer, and more steps are likely going forward.
"We will not relent on this," he said.
Neurosurgeons will be part of gameday medical staffs beginning next season, he said. The league is also looking at eliminating certain low blocks and will continue to impose harsh punishments for illegal hits — particularly for players who are repeat offenders.
Proper tackling technique also needs to be emphasized, getting players to get away from using their heads and return to using their shoulders and arms.
"The No. 1 issue is, take the head out of the game," Goodell said.
Asked specifically about Obama's concerns, Goodell said "I welcome" the comments because it keeps attention on the dangers of head trauma.
"What we are doing is leading the way to try and make sure people understand you need to treat these injuries seriously," he said.
Goodell refused to apologize for his harsh treatment of the Saints' bounty program, even if it means he's not the most popular man in New Orleans this week.
Coach Sean Payton was suspended for the season, and four current or former Saints players were punished after an investigation found the club had had a performance pool offering cash rewards for key plays, including big hits. The player suspensions eventually were overturned.
"There's no question that there was a bounty program in place for three years. I think that is bad for the players, it's bad for the game," Goodell said. "I don't believe bounties are going to be part of football going forward, and I think that's good for everybody."
His only regret was not convincing teams, players and coaches that everyone shares in the responsibility of making the game safer.
"I wasn't able to make that point clearly enough with the union and with others," he said. "But that is something we're going to be incredibly relentless on."
Despite eight coaching vacancies and openings for seven general managers, no minorities were hired for the NFL's most high-profile positions this off-season. Goodell says that's unacceptable.
"There was full compliance of the Rooney Rule. In fact, I believe there were a record number of interviews," Goodell said. "But we didn't have the outcome we wanted. It's very important to the success of the league to do that, and we're committed to find that solution."
Goodell said the league needs to look at whether the rule needs to be expanded or adapted.
Next year's Super Bowl in New York is unlikely to be the last played outdoors in a cold-weather city, judging by Goodell's remarks.
"The game of football is made to be played in the elements," he said. "Now, we hope they will not be extreme, but we will be prepared if that's the case. Some of the most classic games in history were played in extreme conditions."

text: 5 Extremely original and intelligent. - Fantastic!Gembob01 | 24/11/2007 | See all Gembob01's reviews (3)I came across this film when I was bored one evening, and the synopsis caught my attention immediately. I found that even though most of the actors are pretty much unknown, however, they all brought the storyline together REALLY well and worked so well together on screen.The reason that this film was initially not the sucess it should have been, was because it was advertised as a teen horror/slasher film, when infact it is more of a murder mystery/psychological thriller, with many twists and thrills along the way. And so when people saw that there was hardly any blood and gore, they were put off because they were expecting a horror film.I think that overall all a clever, original plot, incredible actors (for their unknown status), a great soundtrack and finally the suprising twists towards the end, are what make this film so outstanding.Julian Morris did incredibly well in such a large part, with the little experience that he has and made everything he said belivable. His good-looks make him shine also!If you have the choice and are a fan of either murder mysteries or psychological thrillers, make sure you see this film (and buy it at such a cheap price)!!YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!

2013 Porsche Cayenne S Diesel [w/video]
by Matt Davis (RSS feed) on Dec 12th, 2012 at 2:59PM
Not so long ago, our Michael Harley drove the Porsche Cayenne Diesel up in flannel-lovin' Alaska, and he returned home safely from that expedition pretty well convinced that Porsche knows how to create a really heavy, mountain-topping 4x4. In fact, since the test for the first generation of the Cayenne Diesel back in 2008, it's been clear: The diesel version of the Spice Islands Porsche is among its very best. I'm not taking away from the spectacularity of the latest Turbo S or GTS Cayennes, but when it comes to traditional 4x4 duties, a gnarly turbodiesel's progressive power delivery and... Read More

Celebrating Camera Day: Racing Around The Web In June
While National Photography Month may be the entire month of May, Camera Day is celebrated on June 29th. That day is also the 126th anniversary of the birth of James Van Der Zee, the African-American photographer of the Harlem Renaissance that occurred during the 1920s and '30s. It's also a day when photographers of all ages and abilities should venture forth into the world to capture all the beauty that surrounds us. Follow the examples set by the four photographers who are featured in this month's column and I'm sure they'll serve as great sources of inspiration for your images.
Originally a studio still life photographer, Brian Kosoff turned to producing monochrome landscape images that speak in a whisper. His images are collected into seven galleries with deceptively simple titles. I started with New Work 2 and was flabbergasted by the soft palette of gray tones he uses to articulate quiet moments in time, from a single tree near a lake ("Loch and Tree") to a new take on sailboats ("Boats at Night") using long exposures to create an impression of the boats, producing an abstract and, dare I say it, painterly effect, albeit in black and white.
Often employing the panoramic format and many times eschewing hard blacks, the images in New Work only occasionally show the hand of man in objects such as telephone poles or sprinklers, but seldom any people. With his pristine compositions Kosoff has created an idealized world that sometimes strays into the allegorical, as in his image of three telephone poles titled "Three Crosses" that may generate internal debate within the viewer. And then it hit me: Kosoff is a poet with a camera, rendering stanzas in grayscale using the rhythm of minimalistic images of pier pilings ("Pier Pilings with Bird") where you have to work to see the bird. It's as if Kosoff wants to make his work accessible while at the same time not too accessible, holding back part of an image's mystery for discovery and interpretation by the viewer. And because you can never take the still life out of the still life photographer, Kosoff offers a gallery of everyday objects photographed in ways you never expected using the same monochrome dynamic that pervades his landscapes. You might even call them "tabletop landscapes" but they are really answers to something I often hear from photographers: "There's nothing to photograph." My reply is to look at Brian Kosoff's images and become inspired.
Daniel Sroka's understated website states that his photographs "celebrate the physical and spiritual grace of the simplest elements of nature" and while that's a tall order for anybody, even a quick glance tells you that he's succeeded. The Artwork menu contains eight collections from New Photographs to Leaves with each displaying images as tiny thumbnails. Clicking any one of them opens a larger version on the left. The whole experience feels as if you're flipping though a series of mounted prints in an art gallery. The Vines and Twigs collection, for example, includes macro photographs and while one or two may be what you might expect, the rest are a quiet surprise filling you with the kinds of feelings you get when meeting an old friend after a long time. Like all of Sroka's work, these images are full of warmth, love, and care.
New Photographs contains macro photographs of tiny portions of leaves and while many have titles such as "Untitled Leaf #240," there's also a description (in this case) that says, "an abstract macro photograph of a dried leaf, forming the image of an eye," answering the inevitable question: what is that? Sroka takes it one step beyond most fine art sites by not only telling you the what but also the how. Tucked away on the About page is a series of menus, including Technique, which when clicked not only opens a window but a window into how Daniel Sroka creates these timeless images. You won't find any lens descriptions or exposure data but instead you'll gain insight into a talented photographer's psyche on how he discovers, explores, and creates. This is must reading for anybody looking to take his or her own photography to the next level. If you need more inspiration, go back and look through these stunning images again.
Shutterbug reader Marcus W. Reinkensmeyer constructed his website with Zenfolio (www.zenfolio.com) using a domain name he acquired through Go Daddy (www.godaddy.com), which also happens to host all of my personal sites. On his site, Reinkensmeyer has assembled 16 collections of nature and landscape photography along with a smattering of urban images such as the colorful "Blurred Night Life, Bourbon Street" that vividly captures the spirit of the place. Similarly, his
fog-shrouded "Golden Gate Bridge Sunrise" recalls my favorite scene in Alfred Hitchcock's film Vertigo where Kim Novak jumps into the bay. Reinkensmeyer is at his best when shooting traditional landscapes, including a beautifully composed and minimalistic series of Death Valley sand dunes that's not to be missed.
In his series of images of Arizona, Reinkensmeyer gets all green and wet with images that will have you looking at what most people consider a desert state in an entirely new way. Speaking of wet and wild, his huge collection of images of Maui, Hawaii, are so immersive it makes me wish I were there right now. If you ever needed a reason to take your camera to Utah, his photographs made along the Arizona-Utah border, including Monument Valley and the Vermilion Cliffs, show how Marcus W. Reinkensmeyer has mastered the art and craft of making landscape images that leap off your screen.
This month's Blog-of-the-Month is from Jack Brauer whose WordPress-based site uses a template from Upstart Blogger (www.upstartblogger.com) that was modified by WideRange Galleries (www.widerangegalleries.com). The blog, according to Brauer, is about "all things related to mountains, photography, and especially mountain photography." It is full of his insightful text and gorgeous mountain images, ranging from photographs of skiing in the San Juans of Colorado to the snow-filled valley of Griessental, Switzerland. Along the way there are interviews with photographers such as Dave Showalter (www.westernwild.org) and video clips, too. Yet even when offering advice about avalanche warnings in the San Juan Mountains, Brauer illustrates his blog posts with beautifully crafted and composed images of snowy mountains, showing a side of Colorado that people familiar only with the Rockies seldom get to see.
But don't think this blog is all about Colorado; check out his images of the Andes Mountains that he photographed while on a trek with his fiancée Claudia in Chile and Argentina. His otherworldly image of Salar de Aguas Calientes in Northern Chile looks as if it was made on Mars. Fine art prints of this and many of Brauer's other images are available for sale on the site at affordable prices. Don't leave the blog without visiting his Galleries—there are 20 of 'em—all containing images made around the world in places such as New Zealand, Croatia, and Slovenia that will make you appreciate not only Jack Brauer's extraordinary photographic skills and aesthetic talent but also the beauty of our natural world. And that's no mean feat.

4/23 in Yankee History
The red-letter days -
2000: Bernie Williams and Jorge Posada each hit home runs from both sides of the plate' marking the first time in major league history that a pair of teammates switch hit homers in the same game. The Yankees score 7 runs in the fourth inning on their way to a 10-7 win over the Blue Jays. Jose Cruz hits a leadoff homer for Toronto for the second straight game. He had 2 homers yesterday.
1929: The Yankees become the first team to wear numbers on their road uniforms when they invade Fenway Park. (The Red Sox, unimpressed, win 4-2).
1903: Behind the pitching of Harry Howell (below)' the Yankee franchise wins its first game, as the New York Highlanders beat Washington, 7-2.
Harry Howell
On other 22nds of April…
2007: The injury-depleted Yankees activate Hideki Matsui from the DL. To make room for him, southpaw Chase Wright, coming off the previous day's home run barrage at Fenway, is returned to AA Trenton.
2006: Jason Giambi has two homers and a double to drive in five runs in the Yankees 7-1 win over the Orioles. O's shortstop Miguel Tejada is the team's only offensive producer with 4 hits including a homer. He has all 3 hits that winning pitcher Randy Johnson gives up, plus one more off of Mo Rivera, for all 4 Baltimore hits, tying an MLB mark.
2004: In a preview of game 7 the ALCS later in the year, Derek Lowe silences Bomber bats and his teammates drive Jose Contreras from the mound with a 5-run 4th inning as the Red Sox lmabst the Yankees 11-2 at Fenway.
1982: The Yankees trade first baseman /DH Bob Watson to Atlanta for minor leaguer pitcher Bob Patterson. Watson was given the choice of Philadelphia' L.A.' or Atlanta. In 2 weeks the Yankees will trade their other first baseman' Dave Revering' who hit .465 in spring training.
1977: Andruw Jones is born. Happy 35th, AJ!
1975: Roy White again homers from both sides of the plate' this time in an 11-7 Yankee loss to the Red Sox. White last switch-hit home runs on August 13' 1973.
1953: At the Stadium' Mickey Mantle breaks a 3-3 tie in the 9th with a two out walkoff homer off Red Sox relief ace Ellis Kinder.
1948: On the 25th anniversary of the opening of Yankee Stadium' the Red Sox spoil the ceremonies by stopping New York' 4-0. A visibly ill Babe Ruth cheers on the Yanks from the dugout.
1947: At the Stadium, 'Superchief' Allie Reynolds shuts out the Red Sox 3-0 on as he bests Boo Ferriss and allows only two hits, both of them to Rudy York.
Off the field, the Yankees release veteran reliever Johnny 'Grandma' Murphy, who will sign with the Red Sox.
1941: With Ted Williams on the bench after reinjuring his ankle yesterday' the Red Sox fall to the Yankees' 4-2' in 11 innings. Joe
DiMaggio is hitless' but Phil Rizzuto provides the offense by hitting his first major league homer' a 2-run shot off Charlie Wagner in the
11th' to win the contest.
1940: The Yankees dedicate a plaque at the Stadium to former owner Jacob Ruppert before losing to the Philadelphia Athletics, 3-0.
1933: Lou Gehrig's consecutive-game streak is threatened when he is knocked unconscious by an Earl Whitehill pitch in the Yankees-Senators game. He recovers and finishes the game' a 5-4 loss to the Nats.
1932: At Shibe Park, Babe Ruth and Ben Chapman both go long for New York. This the 8th straight game in which at least one Yankee has hit a home run, but the A's outslug them, 16-5.
1927: At Philadelphia' Rube Walberg gives up back to back homers to Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in the first inning' but holds on for a 4-3 A's win. Yankee shortstop Mark Koenig's wild throw in the 9th allows the winning run to score.
1925: Yankee ace Herb Pennock holds a 1-0 lead into the 9th when Washington loads the bases. Nats manager Bucky Harris wants Walter Johnson to pinch hit' but the Big Train is in the shower when he gets the call. It takes him ten minutes to dress and enter the game' with Yankee skipper Miller Huggins screaming all the while about the delay. Johnson justifies the wait by hitting the first pitch for a 2-run single to win the game for Washington' 2-1. Six weeks later' Ban Johnson will rule that only players on the bench or sidelines may be used as substitutes.
1919: At the Polo Grounds' 30'000 fans watch the Red Sox roll over the Yankees' 10-0' behind Carl Mays. Babe Ruth bounces a ball over Yankee center fielder Duffy Lewis's head for an inside-the-park homer in his first at bat and drives in 2 runs' while Wally Schang has three doubles and a single. Former Sox star Lewis' who missed the 1918 season while serving in the military' is hitless in his Yankee debut.
George Mogridge takes the loss' allowing six runs in the 9th inning when shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh makes his 2nd and 3rd errors of the game.
1918: Yankee lefty Herb Thormahlen loses his no-hitter when Boston's Amos Strunk singles with one out in the 9th. A pinch-hit single by Babe Ruth and a walk load the bases and a short fly to Ping Bodie is dropped' allowing Strunk to plate the winner' 1-0.
