Why Tea?
"Why Tea?"
part from water, tea is the most popular beverage in the world. This fact often surprises Americans living in a country that has had little to do with tea since the Revolutionary War. The situation is quite different elsewhere, however. For millions of drinkers across the globe, tea engenders the kind of enthusiasm commonly associated with lovers of fine wines. Like fine wine, tea is debated, savored, and treasured for its almost endless variety of subtle flavors. Indeed, in terms of its complexity, variety, and worldwide appeal, tea could be called the �non-alcoholic wine.�
Although all tea comes from the same plant,
Camellia Sinensis
, nearly infinite variations in growing conditions, pickings, and processing result in over 2000 varieties in China alone. In short, tea is the most diverse food product in the world.
There are three different basic tea markets: the traditional teabag market, the burgeoning bottled beverage market, and the specialty loose market. The first two markets are well represented by major companies; yet, as the true tea aficionado quickly discovers, as does the lover of fine wines, that the highest quality is seldom the result of mass marketing. Thus, it is to the third area, the specialty loose tea market, that the tea lover must turn for the satisfaction that only the finest loose teas can provide.

Ask the Captain: Why the 15-hour rule could cause a delay
Question: I was on a trip from New York JFK to Jacksonville. The flight was taxiing to the runway when the pilot came on the intercom and said, "I am at my 15 hour a day max. Due to federal regulations we are returning to the gate." Now every time I fly I wonder if I will make it to my destination or be stopping halfway because the pilot's time is up. So why didn't they figure this out BEFORE we left the gate?
Sponsored Links
— submitted by reader Mike in Florida
Answer: This is a very good question. Pilots want to complete their scheduled flights. There are requirements for the maximum hours on duty during a duty period. In your example, once the pilot would have reached 15 hours before reaching JAX, they would have exceeded the maximum allowable hours.
If you look at the completion rate for airlines, you will find that cancellations are very rare. This should relieve your concern about whether you will make it to your destination. Events causing cancelation, including crew duty time, occur very infrequently.
MORE: How do overseas flight crews handle fatigue?
MORE: Is my pilot too tired, old or intoxicated?
MORE: What do pilots do during long flights?
If the pilots could know how long the taxi time would have been, they might have been able to determine if there was a need to cancel before departing the gate. For example, if the taxi time to the departure runway were 20 minutes, there might not have been a crew duty time issue. However, if traffic congestion caused the taxi time to grow to two hours, this could exceed the maximum hours. Until the crew taxied away from the gate, there is not a good way to determine the taxi time. Often a crew will coordinate with the dispatch office to attempt to learn of conditions that could lead to exceeding the crew duty day.
Q: How do pilots and flight crews adjust to time zone changes, especially on long flights, (the mainland of the U.S. to Hawaii for example), and are they given extra time for rest before flying again?
— Stu Wright, Orangeburg, S.C.
A: Managing fatigue on long flights can be challenging. One of the ways of coping is if you are only going to be in a city for a short time, try to minimize the effect by eating and sleeping to your body clock time. This is not always possible but often can help.
One of the most important ways to deal with fatigue is to begin the trip well-rested. Fatigue is greater when a sleep deficit builds up. By starting well-rested, the sleep deficit is lessened.
The FAA has recently revised duty time and rest requirements for flight crew members. This will give more opportunity for greater rest between flights.
Adjusting to time changes is part of many flight crewmembers' workdays. There are many different ways of coping. Each person finds what works best for him or her. Careful management of food and sleep times is a common mitigation.

Last week Thursday, Andrew Neumann and Chris Dewent in 5th grade went to Mr.Carmichael's room and Chris gave him a Bahamas recorder that he got on his cruise. Andrew made him a card because Mr.Carmichael's brother got in a horrible car accident, and sadly his friend died in the car crash.
Mr.Carmichael's brother lost his feeling in his legs and after he recovered he could walk!!! It was amazing! When we gave him the recorder and card he was almost in tears! He said that he was very astonished and grateful. We know we should try doing this again! :D

Healthy Dogs
Snoring and Snorting in Dogs
In this article
Bulldogs, Pugs, Pekingese, Shih Tzu, English Toy Spaniels, Boston Terriers, Chow Chows, and other dogs with broad skulls and short muzzles frequently show some degree of airway obstruction, known as brachycephalic syndrome, manifested by mouth breathing, snorting, and snoring. These difficulties become more pronounced when the dog is exercising or is overheated, and tend to get worse as the dog grows older.
The obstructed breathing in these dogs is caused by deformities that include collapsed nostrils, an elongated soft palate, and eversion of the laryngeal saccules. These deformities often occur together. Collapsed nostrils and elongated soft palate are congenital. Eversion of the laryngeal saccules is acquired.
Recommended Related to Dogs
Submissive urination is normal canine communication. Dogs do it to show social appeasement. When a dog submissively urinates, he's trying to convey that he's not a threat. Not all dogs submissively urinate. However, some will urinate when they're exceptionally excited or feeling submissive or intimidated. Dogs who submissively urinate usually do so when greeting people or animals (especially unfamiliar ones), during exciting events, while playing, during physical contact, such as petting, or...
Read the Submissive Urination in Dogs article > >
Stenotic Nares (Collapsed Nostrils)
In puppies with stenotic nares, the nasal openings are small and the nasal cartilage is soft and floppy, causing the nostrils to collapse as the puppy breathes in. This produces varying degrees of airway obstruction, manifested by mouth breathing, noisy breathing, and occasionally a nasal discharge. In severe cases the chest is flattened from front to back. These pups fail to thrive and are poorly developed.
Treatment: Stenotic nares can be treated successfully by surgically enlarging the nasal openings. This is accomplished by removing a wedge of nasal skin and cartilage. Not all dogs with stenotic nares require surgery. In some dogs the cartilage firms up satisfactorily by 6 months of age. If there is no urgency in symptoms, your veterinarian may delay treatment to see if this happens.
Elongated Soft Palate
The soft palate is a flap of mucosa that closes off the nasopharynx during swallowing. Normally, it touches or slightly overlaps the epiglottis. In dogs with an elongated soft palate, the palate overlaps the epiglottis to a considerable degree, partially obstructing the airway during breathing. This is manifested by snorting, snoring, stridor, gurgling, and gagging. The obstruction is worse with exercise. In time, stretched ligaments in the larynx lead to labored breathing and laryngeal collapse.
Treatment: An elongated soft palate is treated by surgically shortening the palate so that the edge opposes or slightly overlaps the epiglottis. Results are good if the operation is done before destructive changes occur in the larynx.
Eversion of the Laryngeal Saccules
Laryngeal saccules are small mucosal pouches that project into the larynx. In long-standing upper airway obstruction the saccules enlarge and turn out (eversion), narrowing the airway even further.
Treatment: Everted laryngeal saccules often accompany an elongated soft palate. If present, they should be removed. This operation is done at the same time as shortening of the palate. Your veterinarian may refer you to a surgical specialist for these surgeries.

We will definitely be renting it again in the future.

OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates.

Getting my Jane in the mail is like a small gift from the magazine gods. Partly because mail came way early and that's always fun. But mostly because I haven't been paying for it in the past 3 years but I keep getting them. Naomi Watts is unimaginably sexy. Can I steal her away from Heath like yesterday?So I have a day off today and it feels like a hefty slice of heaven. I stayed in the shower until I ran out of hot water and I smell like vanilla all over. I briefly considered getting dressed and enjoying this beautiful day but instead I threw on a tank top and Oliver's boxers which is starting to feel incestuous so I might change now.I need to see A Mighty Wind because I've decided that I want to be Parker Posey's very biggest fan.Drew I made like 593 icons for you so get ahold of me okay?And where is Josh Jackson? Someone go track him down.This should totally be in ramble, but I neglect my journal. *pets journal*
So I've been acting like a complete psycho about this whole Colin thing that wasn't even a thing until I woke up one morning and it was magically a thing. I don't know when it got all out of hand and I don't know when my feelings for him darted over the Like You As Just A Friend Line. Normally I would be embarrassed by the fact that I've just admitted this to so many people at one time but; a) apparently, I'm transparent and you all already knew anyway and b) hi only like 5 of you read this anyhow :-*Anyway, Aly, Drew, Ashley, Justin and anyone else: I'm sorry for sucking you all into my third rate drama.( And Colin... )Anyway, have I ever mentioned just how attracted I am to Bruce Willis? He's like the really hot dad of the girl that no one liked but we slept at her house anyway because he walked around in boxers.( JUSTIN CAN SKIP THE POST AND JUST READ THIS )
So I told myself that I wasn't going to update anymore tonight. But I just want to say that if you ever intend on telling a girl that things are complicated because they "just are," then it would probably be beneficial to both parties if you gee, I don't know, came up with an actual explanation. But that's all hypothetical. Of course.
I've decided that I can't sleep alone anymore. Lying awake alone in my bed feels like a sickness. I think that I'd really rather be anywhere but here when the sun goes down. :/ This is borderline ridiculous. A woman my age can't sleep alone and I know that it's sad and maybe laughable but I can't help it.But since I know that Goldie is reading this hi ma and I know that she will worry, I'll add for the 33rd time this week: I love Mr. Maintainer Man and I might start stalking him. :-*
Eep all of this journal housekeeping satisfies the obsessive compulsive side of me. Even though removing some of the dead journals was traumatizing for me.And all of these new people make me happy. My parents are moving to Canada for a few years. Kind of strange for me. I'm used to my mom always kind of being around, you know? But my little brother and his blossoming hockey career needs to be there. I guess. So I'm going over to their place tonight to help them start packing. What a way to spend my night, huh? My social life is dwindling. How sad. :/Justin, you stayed.
Yes, I'm updating again. I'm making up for the rest of you slackers, though I'm sure that this will pale in comparison to anything that some of you would say.I'm watching the making of Daredevil for lord knows what reason. And I am almost ashamed to admit that it's making me want to sex Colin something fierce. :-[ I can see how the accent would swoon someone. I guess it's a lot more charming when he's not swearing and just being a pig in general. Colin, this is not your cue to jump in here and be mean to me. I'm complimenting you. I'm saying that you're sexy. Just smile and nod. My little sister is obsessed with Justin. It's actually a sick obsession. Justin, she's young but I recommend a restraining order.
I really had to talk to Sarah but I haven't been able to get ahold of her all day long. There's the hazard of having an actual show with regular, grueling hours. :/ Anyway, I forgot what I had to say already. No dumb blonde jokes please. I've heard them all. And I'm really a brunette.Um, Jessica Alba has some nerve leaving when she knew that I am madly in lust with her and I had grandiose plans to stalk her and trick her into marrying me so we could live happily ever after the end. I'm crying on the inside.And now I'm going to shower because I've honestly been sitting here in my own filth all day and I already told Oliver that we'd go out and do something, anything at all tonight. Shut up, my filth is pretty and not even all that filthy. Buffykins, where are you?
Hmm awful hard for you to know who is online if you don't actually log in to AIM. >:o Just a thought.I don't even have anything to say. Do you pronounce the 'e' in Noah Wyle? I've never known and I've heard people do it. And it sounds kinda dumb. So I'm going to deliberately continue to say it wrong even if you are supposed to pronounce the 'e'. So pfft Noah Wyle-ee.Who is the girl on the cover of the Sports Illust. swimsuit issue? I would go gay for her. She has no right to be that hot.And because I promised to mention his name... ( don't say I never did anything for you )
Gotta love when you have a thing for someone who will always think of you as just a friend.I went out for margaritas with my mom and her tolerance has completely died. Two drinks and she was wrecked. It was funny. Then she started flirting with a waiter who was young enough to be like...my brother or something. He was tickled by the whole thing. But once she pinched his butt, we were out of there. How mortifying. You haven't lived until you've seen your mother pinch a stranger's butt. :-[ So I missed my opportunity to join in on a pseudo-chat if there even was one.I've volunteered to be JC's personal Band Aide. I <3 him long time. And Kelly is now officially the cutest thing to come from Fox television. :-*Oh and hello where is Ashley Angel anyway?And oh man, p_posey is here. I adore her. :-[
I had a day off from shooting today. The director was in Boston for the weekend and through bad luck and ill timing, is now stuck on the snow ridden east coast. Oh well. This just means that I get to give into my inherent laziness and my urges to prank call Colin every hour on the hour until he just stops answering the phone. :-*So now I'm sucking up the President's Day movie marathon goodness on USA and falling in love with Freddie Prinze Jr. just a little bit. I'm also eagerly awaiting Sarah's cameo so I can store it away in my memory for when I touch myself in naughty places later oops did I say that? I think I did. :-x Yes, I'm watching She's All That. No shame in a romantic comdey binge on a day off.And gee thanks Mr. Timberlake for randomly calling off the chat. Now I'll miss my big chance to have hot asterisk sex with Sarah in front of everyone. >:o I say this in jest, but it really is kind of a pain.
Okay ew. Why are so many of you people trying to take a leave of absence? >:oI think I like it lots better when you just sort of poof for awhile without saying anything. But when you announce the poofage, I realize ahead of time that there will be nothing to look forward to. At least I can count on Le Whore to continue making half-drunken rambly posts about how Penny Lane wants to do him something fierce and dirty.EDIT: Why haven't you people added joey_a_fatone to your various friends pages, yet? Don't you know that he's Superman?
I'm not sure how Britney does the 5 am thing with Colin but my god I am tuckered out. And pretty well drank under the table by him. If that sentence even makes sense. I'm not sure why I even bothered with trying to update when I can barely think straight. Oh man, expect a coherent post tomorrow when I get home.Sarah, when are we going to make out?Holy crap I'm drunk. Happy Saturday everyone. Happy Birthday Brandon. I love you, you beautiful man, you. Let me get you drunk so I can take advantage of you before Mandy stakes a claim. :-* This is taking far too long and far to many backspaces. mwa good night
I can't believe that I'm about to spend my Valentine's Day with Dial-a-Slut Mr. Farrell. Sigh. What is this world coming to? Colin, if I trip over Demi or Britney on my way in, I am turning around and coming right back home.I shouldn't be so catty. I think that if Freud got a chance to analyze me from the grave he'd say that I was repressing some serious sexual feelings toward Colin and possibly my father and it's coming out in waves of animosity. Which is probably true. The father part. I could never be sexually atrracted to Col. Ew times 9. These are jokes people. You are required to laugh. We all know that Colin is naughty, irish sex on two legs.Katie is cuter than all of you, by the way.
Sometimes I hate being a woman. I get hormonal and I cry over silly things like missing Joey's Creek. And I get upset when I get past my pretention and realize that I'm married in the technical sense and I somehow don't have someone to spend an evening with on Valentine's Day. This is not me begging for a date. I'm just stating facts.Colin dear, you look downright delicious on the cover of US. You and Britney both. I actually wanted to get in your pants for a brief moment while I was in the middle of the grocery store aisle. Then I remembered that you're a whore. :-* Did anyone else see it? Oh wait- I forgot that all of you people disappear during the week.
I've decided that I'm allowed to post a billion times a day...just as long as they're short, sweet and maybe endearingly psychotic.I saw Luke Wilson on Craig Kilbourn and he's pretty damned great looking. This is no surprise to anyone, I'm sure. But he pulled off horizontal stripes with a pinstriped suit and it was recklessly cute. And if you missed the show, then shame on you all. Not a new crush. I'm merely gushing overzealously.( oooh pikachurs )
I've always wondered how a bikini waxer could do their job. What if..."it" smelled really bad? I don't think I'd be able to deal with that for an extended period of time. Blech.short enough, mr. timberlake?
So I made it here in one piece. And of course it's snowing now. It's pretty and all that jazz but I don't have the proper foot wear or something. Oliver actually called me with an emphatic 'I told you so' because he said something about needing a good pair of boots. Whatever show-off. Of course my flight was awful. It left late and the man next to me smelled like dirty feet or old cheese or something. He made it difficult to sleep, which was my plan. It's easier to ignore turbulence when you're dead to the world. And he kept insisting that I was Julia Stiles. Do I look remotely like her? She's a cute girl and all, but we do not look alike. But when he asked for my autograph, I went ahead and signed it 'Julia' anyway. :-xTodd just woke up because I think I wore him out last night. With the endless chatter, you sickos. I think he was expecting me to be all jet lagged and junk, but insomniacs don't have to deal with that. Anyway, we should be heading out soon, so I'd better go. I'm all about rocking out to Jovi, reliving the days when Living on a Prayer was a hit. :D I know I'm a loser, shut up.Justin isn't going to read this because it's too long. :/ How rude.
So I really should be going over my checklist for the third time to make sure that I packed the essentials for my trip, but nah. I'll just sit here and ramble for awhile. I really don't dig flying much and the longer that I can delay my panic, the better off I'll be. At least I managed to get a direct flight. So I can pop a valium, have a shot or two in the airport bar - excuse me, lounge - and sleep all the way to the east coast. Shoot, how cold is it? I never checked and I can see myself now, freezing my patootie off. So um yeah, Chris decided not to come home last night. And I guess that calling me to tell me that he wouldn't be home was just out of the question. How great that men can be such pigs. :-* Makes me want to have a brothel of them so they can all take turns being mean to me. Wouldn't that be grand? Who wants to be a part of my man harem? Anyone? No? Okay.So I did what any woman scorned does in my position. No, I didn't call Colin Farrell for a wild, drunken night on the town. I called my brother and made him come over to watch An Affair to Remember and Breakfast at Tiffany's with me. And how sweet that I have a sore throat from hell and he refuses to go out and get me something for it because he's at a crucial point in Zelda. >:o Too bad he has to get up eventually to drive me to the airport, anyway.Okay sigh. I need to get going or I'll miss my flight.

Entrepreneurship Week highlights student creativity, new career paths for graduates
Sewanee's first-ever Entrepreneurship Week, sponsored by the Babson Center for Global Commerce, turned the spotlight on the business of creating new businesses, bringing together students, business-oriented alumni and friends of the Babson Center, and community members to share ideas and experiences on one of the most exciting emerging career paths for liberal arts graduates.
Highlights included the Sewanee 2012 Entrepreneurial Challenge business plan competition, the 2012 Humphreys Entrepreneur in Residence lecture by Brian Reynolds (C'90), daily presentations by successful entrepreneurs on topics from strategic marketing to the protection intellectual property by startup businesses, and a high school business plan competition mentored by Sewanee students.
Click here to view photos of Entrepreneurship Week events.
Sewanee 2012 Entrepreneurial Challenge
Five teams of University students competed in the inaugural Sewanee Entrepreneurial Challenge where they pitched business proposals to a panel of judges drawn from the worlds of entrepreneurship and business finance.
The competition required each team to develop an idea for new and disruptive business venture; create a business plan for the venture that included a description of the proposed venture, market research, and how the venture would be organized, and to prepare and present to a panel of judges a short investment pitch. The teams were also required to submit financial data in support of their proposed business plans.
Thomas Hall (C '14) of Franklin, TN, and Robert Goeller (C '14) of Rowayton, CT, won first place with a plan to sell long-term bonds to college alumni and use the proceeds to make loans to current students at better-than-market rates. They argued that the business could cut the cost of higher education financing for students while giving investors access to a relatively safe investment opportunity.
For their winning proposal, Hall and Goeller won $300 and the option to seek a grant of up to $5,000 should they choose to launch their proposed venture. The two were also cited for producing the best social entrepreneurship proposal, an award that came with a $150 prize. The winning team's advisor was Rivers Powers (C '07), Director of Corporate Affairs at Advon Healthcare and managing director of a SEED (early stage) investment program.
Hal Smith of Lexington, VA; Penn Jenks of Shoreham, VT; and Rory Devine of Arlington, VA; took second place and a $200 prize for their proposal to create a microbrewery based in East Tennessee--designed to play off the region's longtime association with moonshine whiskey. The second-place team was advised by Charlie Brock (C '87), the CEO of CoLab, managing director of Four Bridges Capital Advisers, and founder of a Chattanooga angel fund investment group.
Third place went to HuaJun (Steven) Liu (C '14) for a proposal to design and sell a new form of tablet computer for students with two side-by-side screens. The tablet would integrate textbooks, student notes, and other educational resources. Jim Szyperski, parent of a Sewanee graduate and managing director of Cherokee Investment Partners, served as Liu's adviser.
Entrepreneur in Residence Lecture
Brian Reynolds graduated from Sewanee in 1990 as double major in philosophy and history. After graduate study in philosophy, he joined a gaming studio, where he designed several best-selling video games and went on to become a video-game entrepreneur.
When he returned to Sewanee as the 2012 Humphreys Entrepreneur in Residence, he told the audience at his public lecture that his Sewanee years had made a significant impact on his career because, as a liberal arts student, he learned how to write, think, and argue.
Without the liberal arts, he said, "I might have been a game engineer, but I wouldn't be a game designer."
Reynolds sold his first video game while still in high school. He has played a major role in starting three game-design firms. He and his associates sold both of their first two ventures, Firaxis and Big Huge Games. Currently, Reynolds is the chief game designer for Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA), the social media gaming company.
The games he works on now are social, involving many interactions among players. The attraction of the these types of games is social, not educational, though players may learn from playing the game. By studying the interactions and choices that players make, he said, game developers gain new and unexpected insights into human behavior.
Among Reynolds' most successful games is FrontierVille, a history-based game in which participants attempt to create farms from wilderness territory.
As an entrepreneur in a creative field, he said, he had learned that a good idea is the most important element for a "breakout" success rather than having the best execution.
Reynolds cautioned his audience that entrepreneurs need to prepare themselves for a sense of loss when they sell their companies to others: "When you sell your company, it's gone," he said.
The Humphreys Entrepreneur in Residence program is supported by a generous gift from David and Debra Humphreys. Brian Reynolds' lecture was presented in collaboration with the University's Department of Philosophy.
Entrepreneurial Presentations
Throughout the week, successful entrepreneurs offered presentations on specific issues facing would-be entrepreneurs. The presenters were:
- Cliff Oxford, who founded STI Knowledge, a pioneering developer of knowledge-based systems for Fortune 1000 companies, and the founder of Atlanta's Oxford Center for Entrepreneurs. Oxford discussed "The Nine Basic Instincts of Entrepreneurial Success."
- Dr. Yasmeen Mohiuddin, Ralph Owen Distinguished Professor of Economics and the founder of Sewanee's groundbreaking Social Entrepreneurship Education program (SEED). Mohiuddin discussed the principles of social entrepreneurship and was joined by Ben Almassi (C'14), who focused on Nashville's Magdalene House program for women recovering from abuse, prostitution, homelessness, and addiction. The program operates a social enterprise called Thistle Farms.
- Dr. Dirk Brown, CEO of digital media technology company Pandoodle and director of the Faber Entrepreneurship Center at the University of South Carolina. Brown explained the basic concepts of intellectual property and the importance of intellectual property strategies for new ventures.
- Ashley Logsdon (C'07), who developed a business plan for a startup company while still a Sewanee student and launched the venture, Dolma Jewelry, Inc., immediately after graduation. Logsdon has just completed the sale of Dolma Jewelry. Her presentation on marketing was titled "Be the Brightest Crayon in the Box: Understanding the Necessity of Product Differentiation and Strategic Marketing."
- Arden Grady (C'09), who until recently managed entrepreneurship programs for the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and is now developing a finance startup, Grady spoke on "Lean Startup Principles: How to Build and Launch a Successful Product."
St.-Andrew's-Sewanee Entrepreneurial Challenge
Students at St. Andrew's-Sewanee School, an Episcopal day and boarding school near the Sewanee campus, held a high school entrepreneurial challenge with the support of the Babson Center. University students mentored the teams and and local community advisors with business experience served as advisors.
Sophomores Eva Miller and Diana Rinck won with their proposal to link parents in college towns with bilingual babysitters who could help their children develop second-language skills. The team received a $150 cash prize for its winning presentation. Miller and Rinck were mentored by Elizabeth Verity (C '13).
Trey Burdick (C '15) was the project leader for the SAS Entrepreneurial Challenge. The project was supported by an internship grant from Sewanee's Canale Internship Fund for Community Service and Leadership and was mentored by the Babson Center.

If your question is about the cost of a procedure, click here. For referral to a qualified surgeon in your area, see find a surgeon.
Note: ASAPS cannot give advice about specific medical problems nor should answers provided by responding surgeons be substituted for a complete medical history, work-up and an in-personal medical/surgical consultation. Sorry we can't answer all questions. We try to select questions that have the widest general interest.
Is it safe to do microdermabrasion in a salon versus plastic surgeon?
Microdermaberasion is very superficial, and removes the dead outer layer of the skin. The results are very similar to light exfoliation.
Such treatment effect will not treat anything or any skin condition. It does not change pigmentation, pore size, scars, acne or any other skin condition. It may give your skin a nice feel for few days.

We live in Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth, NH. We use all three of the bridges. They each serve a purpose and are critical to the community in different ways. We walk, cycle, and drive between the two towns. We even drive right past when the mood hits us. We love the fact that the summer weekend visitors have a way to bypass our towns when they need to get elsewhere. We love that the visitors to our community can park once and walk or bike to and through our home.

What Does Boy Battling Cancer Want for Birthday? Lots of Cards
FOXBORO, Mass. -- A 5-year-old Massachusetts boy battling cancer said all he wants for his upcoming birthday is a box of birthday cards.
Danny Nickerson, of Foxboro, Massachusetts, will turn 6 on July 25. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor this past October -- one of the most chemotherapy-resistant cancers. As a result, he has since stopped going to kindergarten.
The boy gets lonely from time to time, and is always happy to get cards with his name written on them.
He can recognize his name now, Carley Nickerson, Dannys mother told ABC News. When he saw his name on the package from magical fairies on Easter, he was so happy.
But the packages and cards stopped after Easter.
He had 33 radiations from November through December last year, Nickerson said. We are now getting chemo therapy every two weeks.
Doctors tell Nickerson that less than 10 percent of the children diagnosed with this type of cancer live longer than 18 months.
I dont really believe in that. He is doing great, Nickerson said. Every day is a blessing for us,
So far, Danny has received about 40 letters.
I gave him the key to the P.O. box, Nickerson said. He was so excited when he opened it.
Nickerson said Danny loves Lego and Super Mario.
I wish Lego makes Super Mario toys, Nickerson chuckled. That would really make him happy.
Dannys birthday is July 25. All cards can be mailed the Nickersons home addressed: Danny Nickerson, P.O. Box 212, Foxboro, MA, 02035.

Study Tours
Study Tours
In addition to semester-abroad programs offered through the College (see Office of International Education), St. Mary's offers a number of shorter term study tours for academic credit, led by St. Mary's faculty members. These study tours may last for one week or more than four weeks, and are timed so as not to interfere with regular semester schedules. They are offered during Winter Break, Spring Break, or Summer Break. The level and number of credit hours earned by a particular INTL listing varies, and some of these study tours are cross-listed as a course in a particular discipline.
In order to find out which study tours are being offered in a given academic year, contact the Office of International Education.

Ghosts of the Rain Forest
The word "lemur" means "ghost" in Latin, and once you hear the call of a lemur you'll know why!
Lemurs communication with loud vocalizations and with scent. You may notice them rubbing their bodies on branches (scent marking) to let others know they were there. Ruffed lemurs are found only in Madagascar, an island off the coast of Africa. They play an important role in the rain forest ecosystem, dispersing the seeds of the fruit they eat.
At Reid Park Zoo
Accredited Zoos like Reid Park Zoo are working together to conserve this species through managed breeding programs. The lemurs currently at Reid Park Zoo are an approved breeding pair. Pepe and Nuit came to Reid Park Zoo in 2013 (from Brownsville TX, and St. Louis MO, respectively). Nuit has very distinct white markings along her tail, and her eyes are yellow. Pepe's eyes are bright orange.

Lawrence, Boston, Brockton, New Bedford, Springfield and Worcester to benefit from Neighborhood Stabilization pilot programs
LAWRENCE - Thursday, October 18, 2007 - Governor Deval Patrick today joined state and local officials, non-profit leaders, mortgage lenders and city homeowners, to unveil his comprehensive foreclosure prevention plan designed to keep people in their homes and to stabilize neighborhoods across the Commonwealth.
The five-point plan consists of targeted neighborhood stabilization pilot programs in Lawrence and five other Bay State cities, transition resources from lenders and servicers, consumer outreach and education, lending best practices and coordination to increase utilization of MassHousing's loan refinancing program.
"A surge in foreclosures is taking a real toll on families, entire neighborhoods and local economies here in Lawrence and across the Commonwealth," said Governor Patrick. "Our prevention plan is comprehensive and gives distressed homeowners and communities the immediate and long-term relief they need right now."
In the past 12 months, more than 25,000 foreclosures were filed in the Commonwealth - a 76% increase over the same period last year with nearly two-thirds of the state's 351 cities and towns experiencing a 50% increase in foreclosures. It is reported that lenders have initiated nearly 600 foreclosures in Lawrence's 01841 zip code - roughly one for every 10 owner-occupied homes in the neighborhood - since 2005.
To combat these trends, the state Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will launch neighborhood stabilization pilot programs in targeted Lawrence, Boston, Brockton, New Bedford, Springfield and Worcester neighborhoods. DHCD will partner with lenders and non-profits to reclaim pre-foreclosure and foreclosed properties in those communities. The properties will be sold to qualifying first-time homebuyers with the goal of returning them to fully-occupied status as quickly as possible.
"These pilot programs will leverage the hard work already being done on the front lines of the foreclosure crisis by local government and nonprofit officials," said DHCD Undersecretary Tina Brooks. "The state will partner with lenders and leaders in the hardest hit areas to stabilize neighborhoods and mitigate the risk of increases in crime and decreases in economic activity that can take place when boarded up homes and vacant storefronts permeate a community."
Participating non-profit organizations and housing counselors are critical to the neighborhood stabilization pilot programs and the overall foreclosure initiative. These agencies and individuals form an essential local safety net, serving as advocates and lifelines for struggling homeowners trying to save their homes or find alternatives to homeownership.
To assist these crucial efforts, the administration's prevention plan calls on participating lenders to provide $5,000 to the housing counseling agency working with an eligible homeowner who loses his or her home to foreclosure or gives a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The transition resources will enable the homeowner to pay for first and last month's rent and moving expenses. The remaining money will be retained by the non-profit organization to offset the administrative cost of its counseling programs. Transition resources will be limited to borrowers who are working with a qualified housing counselor approved or sponsored by NeighborWorks, CHAPA or HUD and who have an ARM first mortgage on an owner-occupied one through four-family home and meet other criteria.
"Lenders and borrowers have an equal financial stake in avoiding foreclosure - that much has been made clear through the upheaval in the credit and real estate markets and through our work with both parties," said Consumer Affairs & Business Regulation Director Dan Crane, who has been spearheading the administration's ongoing negotiations with key national, regional and local lenders. "I applaud the lenders who have acknowledged the indisputable fact that everyone must play an active role in the solution and I look forward to more lenders coming on board as we move ahead."
To date, Option One Mortgage Corporation and the Massachusetts Credit Union League, Inc. have agreed to provide funding for transition resources. The administration will be participating in next week's meeting to determine ways lenders can help reduce rising foreclosure rates organized by Congressman Barney Frank. The meeting will be attended by traditional and subprime lenders and community and housing groups.
"For almost a hundred years credit unions in Massachusetts have been helping consumers with their financial needs," said Jim Blake, President of HarborOne Credit Union of Brockton. "Now more than ever we see an opportunity to help during these very difficult times and would encourage all financial institutions in the state to support the efforts of the governor. Not only is this about securing the financial health of individuals and families, but likewise will prevent the decline of our neighborhoods by reducing the number of vacant boarded-up buildings."
Recognizing that successful foreclosure prevention rests in large part on a homeowner being aware of and understanding the multitude of services and resources available to them, the administration's five-point plan focuses on streamlining consumer outreach and education. Under the plan, homeowners will be directed to a single point of contact - NeighborWorks' Center for Foreclosure Solutions 24 hour a day, 7 day a week toll free hotline (888-995-HOPE). NeighborWorks mortgage counselors will refer Massachusetts homeowners to non-profit agencies for additional housing counseling.
Depending on the homeowner's circumstances, counselors will focus on loan refinancing and modification or oversee the smooth transition from homeownership to rental housing. On a case-by-case basis, agencies may refer homeowners to the Lawyers Clearing House for Affordable Housing or Attorney General's pro bono foreclosure legal assistance program.
If the homeowner is facing imminent foreclosure, the counselor will contact the Massachusetts Division of Banks so that the Division can intervene on the homeowner's behalf and work with the lender to grant the homeowner a 30 to 60 day stay in the foreclosure process. To date, the Division has secured nearly 500 delays for homeowners in foreclosure across Massachusetts.
The prevention plan calls on mortgage lenders and servicers to conform to a set of best practices when dealing with struggling homeowners. These practices will become increasingly important as the higher interest rates on ARM mortgages begin to kick in and more and more homeowners encounter difficulties meeting their new payment obligations.
Specifically, the best practices call on lenders to:
· Contact borrowers at least three months prior to a mortgage reset to inform them of the approximate difference in their mortgage payments.
· Consider long-term loan modifications.
· If a subprime borrower has made satisfactory payments on their mortgage for one year, lenders should review whether consumers qualify to refinance into a more affordable prime loan product. Require escrows for taxes and insurance for all subprime borrowers on any new mortgage.
· Allow a pre-foreclosure sale.
· Allow a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
"Thousands of homeowners will experience significant rate shock in the coming months as more mortgages continue to reset," said Commissioner of Banks Steven Antonakes. "The best practices will protect both homeowners and lenders and help us reach our shared goal of expanding sustainable homeownership opportunities."
In July, the Patrick administration announced one of the country's most comprehensive foreclosure prevention products - MassHousing's $250 million program to provide fixed-interest rate refinancing loans and counseling services to struggling subprime borrowers. The program is privately financed through a $190 million commitment from Fannie Mae and a $60 million contribution from MassHousing. Eligible borrowers can be up to 60 days delinquent with credit scores as low as 560.
Through the five-point plan, the Patrick administration has worked and will continue to work to raise awareness about the availability of this product. Homeowners that may not qualify for traditional refinancing will be referred to MassHousing to determine if they are eligible for alternative financing. The administration will continue to expand coordination among lenders, counselors and MassHousing to maximize the number of borrowers who utilize this program.
"We are very pleased to be part of the administration's five-point plan to confront this foreclosure crisis with every resource we can to keep Massachusetts residents in their homes and our neighborhoods healthy and vibrant,'' said Mass Housing Executive Director Thomas R. Gleason.

Hi Dr. Lam,
First, thank you for the extensive information you've been sharing online including the videos. I appreciate the way you dive in and I interpret your effort as passionate and courageous. For nearly a year I've held steady with about a 50 pound fat loss so it seems I'm getting close to a good time to send you pictures. While I near the end of the year wait, I am back to learning from your site so I might target my questions more effectively. The following one has come to mind.
Do you do fat transfer into the deeper temporal region, that is into the whole area where the temporal muscles attach to the skull? It seems that this area also loses fat as we age and perhaps the entire scalp area loses fat? It seems obvious that you've considered this issue and the pro and cons, but I haven't located your thoughts yet.
Skinny Head!

so, working on the old blog (I'm so technically or perhaps just typepad challenged, drives me crazy) but I'm almost there. 2008 teaching schedule is on the left —
thought I'd address a few questions as of late.
Q: What day planner do you use?
A: The Memory Dock planner (in green of course) designed by Robin Johnson–I love it. You can get all the parts and pieces at scrapbook.com, although the fillers are not available right now. The Franklin Covey filler pages will work (so I've heard)
Q: What color is the wall by your Christmas Tree.
A: Not entirely sure which wall you are referring to. If it's the living room, it's Columbia Paint, Toasted Cashew and if it's the kitchen, it's Behr, Grass Cloth
Q: What is that fun inflatable toy, Addie is sitting in?
A: It's called the Fun Roller. It's still got air in it and she LOVES it!
Q: I just picked up your book, The Big Picture and can't find those albums anywhere — what albums do you use?
A: Great question! You can no longer get the albums I used (for years) in my library. The good news is, I love the albums I use now even more. They are from the Modern line (American Crafts) and I use brown, red, pink and green in both 81/2 x 11 and 12 x 12 sizes. More information on my system coming very soon in my new book, Photo Freedom — and … much more information and personal guidance on setting up my system available February 28th in my online class, called Library of Memories. Registration starts this Saturday at 1:00 pm PST — Learn more here.
Q: Will you new book be included in the class fee for Library of Memories?
A: No. I will however encourage students (and alumni) of LOM to purchase my book, as it is a great text book and review/refresher on my system. The book will retail for $19.95.
Q: How come you raised the price for Library of Memories to $95.00
A: Two reasons. One — I've added content and features to update and make the delivery of my ideas better. Two — The cost of shipping is always on the rise and this class includes a welcome package sent to students, via snail mail.
Q: What is the difference between Wendy's Get Organized and Be Inspired class and your Library of Memories class?
A: Another great question. Wendy's class is based on her book, and it all about setting up a workspace that is based on how you approach your scrapbooking hobby. My The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker. Library of Memories class introduces, explains and helps you implement my system of organizing photos, memorabilia and actual layouts so that you can let go of the guilt brought on my years of backlog and unrealistic expectations we all place on ourselves.
Q: Will you teach Library of Memories next year?
A: If I'm alive and kicking, I'll be back!
and finally, this one is Nilaja …
Yes, Nilaja I have a copy of Wendy's book I will send you. I love that you asked and I hope that things get better soon. I can't imagine recovering from a house fire. I suppose, if one looks on the bright side, it's a perfect time to set up a new space! email me your addy.

5 Comments to "Hey Military Spouse! Grow up & stop the bullying!"
May 7, 2012 @ 8:54 PM1
I agree! I am so sick of adults acting like children. These women give all of our Military Spouses a bad name. It's obvious that they have issues in their own life and/or marriage and that seems to be the reason that they need to be in everyone else's lives. Stop assuming crap, stop worrying about what your neighbor is doing and work on repairing you own life! I am with you 100% on this and will be forwarding the link to this article within all my groups I belong to!
October 28, 2012 @ 5:41 PM4
all I have to say is I do not associate with military wives in any way shape or form. I had really bad experiences with a few and their bullying that I absolutely refuse to have anything to do with them, especially the FRG. the military is my husband's career and he leaves it at the dorr when he comes home. family time is family time. I lived at Ft. Riley for a while and that is what made me the way I am. sad really as I am an army brat and an army wife of 12 years but it i what it is
April 27, 2013 @ 5:19 AM5
its funny that you mention not to burn bridges with other military wives. My first son my husband and I are still active duty Navy. We're both on shore duty and working at the same building I was due to get out in about a year. So during this time I had to have my son in day care. ok,that's pretty standard, no big deal. I found this lovely lady who ran a state and navy certified day care out of her home. it was amazing, she was just down the street from where my husband and I worked. As great as she is this story isn't about her. Its about her neighbor. One day when I went to pick up my son there was a car blocking my day care providers drive way. Being a bright and shining friday afternoon I decided to park in her neighbors drive way, and dash in and get my son. I was in and out with in five minutes. When I came out her neighbor was sitting/leaning against the hood of my car. when she saw me she immediately begin shrieking at me to movr my car immediately, that she didn't care if I was active duty I better NEVER park in her spot again or she would call her husband who was an MA (military police) and he would give me a ticket. I was in the wrong so I muttered a quick" sorry" loaded up my kid and got the heck out of there. I never parked there again. My husband had just recently returned from Kentucky where the navy had sent him to a locksmithing school. He came back a certified locksmith. He always helped out my friends for free (or for a beer lol). Well about a month later the shrieking neighbor had not only locked her self out of her house but locked her keys in the car. She was in her driveway freaking out when she asked me if I knew a good locksmith. I very calmly said "yeah my husband works at that giant building at the end of this street. He could be here in less than 5 minutes but the last time I talked to you, you yelled at me. So you need to call the on base locksmith". She looked so stunned. And its funny I guess because if in the first l lace she had just said "please don't park in my drive way" not only would I have never parked there again but I would have had my husband come and unlock her for free. So just to re enforce your point, don't burn your bridges and keep calm when talking to other military wives, because the whole freaking out thing… really gets you no where.

Life without gluten can be full of obstacles and variations, but that shouldn't mean you have to settle for something less.
Take cake for an example. Gluten-free cakes will never be as good as the wheat ones, right? WRONG! I myself am not gluten intolerant, but I do know what it's like to have to give something up because it's not healthy and try to find an alternative. I don't like to settle for something less; for me taste is a very close second to healthy.
My biggest goal in producing gluten-free recipes is "foolproof-ness." Cake was a big one, and I was eager to try it. This was right about the time that I was really getting into my little coconut flour frenzy and trying to come up with as many recipes as possible for the product. Cake was something I hadn't tried yet, but I was ready to start experimenting.
The first thing was ideas. I wanted to do a yellow and chocolate cake, but decided on the chocolate first. I found a chocolate cake recipe I liked, and began the long process of taking it apart, adding, taking away, testing, testing, testing. By the time I was done it was a totally different recipe. It was by far the longest time I ever spent developing a recipe; even longer then my Coconut Flour Brownies. I tried, and tried again. Each time there always seemed to be something wrong with it. The biggest issue was the dryness. It always seemed too dry. The more I experimented, the more the amount of eggs grew. Soon they had reached a rather alarming amount, but by that time I finally had the perfect gluten free chocolate cake.
It was moist, fluffy, chocolaty, and perfectly foolproof. Many times I've made them for company dessert (many with little kids by the way) and unless I told them they were gluten free they would've never known or suspected and would've just kept on happily wolfing it down.
No, no, seriously. It's really that good. If you make it, follow the recipe exactly and please don't change a thing and then tell me it doesn't work. It really does work. The eggs are the most important part, and they definitely cannot be changed.
While you're mixing the eggs and butter together, don't panic if the butter separates into little sesame seed shapes. That's normal, and doesn't bother anything at all. I also recommend having the butter still just a tad bit cold, not near melting point.
This recipe can be made as a 2, 8 inch layer cake, a 9 inch layer cake, or cupcakes. I like to use a buttercream frosting for this cake but pretty much anything that goes with chocolate will be good on this.
If any of you try the recipe, please feel free to let me know how you liked it. :)
|Gluten Free Coconut Flour Chocolate Cake
|Prepared by Sarah Shilhavy, Photo by Jeremiah Shilhavy
Coconut Flour Chocolate Cake
- 1 cup butter - softened
- 1 2/3 cups sugar (white or brown, I recommend the whole sugar)
- 10 eggs (at room temperature)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups coconut flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/3 cups whole milk or half n' half
- Coconut oil
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9 inch or 8 inch layer pans with coconut oil and dust with cocoa powder.
In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar, and beat together for about 2 minutes. Add eggs in one at a time and beat high speed for about 3 minutes. Add in the vanilla while beating the eggs and butter mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients together and add alternately with the milk to the butter mixture. Beat batter for about five minutes on high speed. Spoon batter into the two prepared cake pans and smoothen out tops.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. Place pans on wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans. Cool cakes completely before frosting. Use your favorite frosting to frost the cake.
Peppermint Chocolate cake variation: add 1 teaspoon peppermint extract to batter before pouring into pans and mix well. Frost cake with peppermint frosting or frosting of your choice.
Cupcakes: Make recipe as directed but spoon batter into muffin cups and bake for about 26-30 minutes. Frost after cupcakes have cooled completely. Makes about 24 cupcakes.
Enjoy everyone!
Sarah Shilhavy
|The average is oldaverage based on oldtotal votes.
The recipe will work with regular beaters. Just watch the batter and stop mixing once it looks pretty well incorporated. As with any mixer the time it takes to mix everything together will vary. The thing that you should really follow exactly is the ingredient list, but you'll be fine with regular beaters. :)
You can also make icing with the xylitol.
Thankyou so much for the recipe, Sarah!!!
Xylitol from birch trees is best.
Thanks for a great recipe. I know you worked hard on it. I will definitely make it again.
I'm not sure about using honey in this recipe as I've never tried it myself. Modify at your own risk. :)
I topped it with chocolate cream cheese icing.
My guests didn't even notice anything different about it and wouldn't have known it was coconut flour if I hadn't told them.
Thanks for sharing!
Could I have the recipe for the chocolate cream cheese icing? It's sounds marvelous! :)
It was AMAZING!!!!!!
For the minis, I baked for 14 minutes, and probably could have done 13.
I topped them with cherry berry coconut cream...and everyone who tried them, loved them!
I'm going to post about them on my website and link back to here, so I'll post the link when I do that in case anyone wants to see the pics, or get the coconut cream recipe (which is super easy).
I highly recommend this recipe!
I used erythritol and stevia to sweeten...and I'm now eating them for breakfast :-)
Sugar isn't evil. Just stay away from the highly processed stuff and use whole sugar when possible, and always in moderation.
I hope that helps someone out there!
I know you say to follow the recipe exactly, but I am intolerant to sugar and cow milk. Have you tried making this with coconut milk and agave or xylitol?
Thanks for sharing!
Love and peace,
Thank You!
Someone commented this substitute works but was curious if the milk (liquid) was also changed even though it wasn't stated. Thanks.
I made your coconut flour chocolate cake yesterday for the first time, and cannot believe how well it came out. Not only is it in no way compromised by the absence of wheat flour, it may be the best homemade cake I have ever baked.
My friend is celebrating her birthday in about a week, and I was hoping you had developed a white cake recipe of the same quality. If so, please let me know where I can find it. Thank you for the wonderful work you do.
Hope that works!
2. One egg equals [1 tbl flax meal plus 3 tbl water], and you do not need to make each one individually. In a small bowl, add flax meal followed by water (not water followed by flax), stirring as you go.
3. Refrigerate. This is key! Place the bowl of eggs in the refrigerator for at least 15 min., but an hour is best. This lets your egg to "set up". Don't skip this step! Make the eggs at the start of a recipe. That way, you can get them in the fridge, and then do the other steps while the eggs "set".
4. When the eggs come out of the fridge they'll be thick and sticky goo mess, just the consistency of egg whites. There's your binder! Add them to the recipe and proceed.
Oh, and I almost forgot! The frosting! I made a simple whipped cream using coconut milk. After refrigerating 2 cans of coconut milk overnight ( I use Thai kitchen taste of thai...something like that its in a red and black can). Not all brands of coco milk separate into cream and water so it is important to find a brand that does this otherwise your cream won't thicken. So take the chilled coco cream out of the fridge and dump the coco water. The cream part of the can will be very hard, just put it in a bowl and whip it with a hand blender for about 10 mins. Add honey or powdered sugar to taste. I put about a tablespoon of cocoa powder in mine to make it slightly chocolatey, but vanilla or chocolate is delish. (For vanilla, add teaspoon vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste if you have it). Keep the cream in the fridge until you are about to use it. Coco whipped cream can be runny if it isn't cold. I made the cake on friday, didn't refrigerate it, and frosted it right before we ate it on saturday. It was perfect. Will def make again!
If you can't eat cane sugar, I suggest honey. Coconut flour loves liquid and sticky stuff so start out with about 3/4 cup of honey in replace of sugar and adjust to taste.
I live in Singapore and 1 cup is 100g of flour (for example)
Would you have the recipe with grams?
- You are talking about white chocolate butter cream / choxolate cream chees icing.
Would you have some good recipes to share with us?
I really would like to do this recipe.
Thank you very much for your help.
You can do some research on US cup to gram measurements but generally 1 US cup to gram (for flour) is about 128 grams.
Some other options are turbinado sugar, palm sugar (which comes in a hard cone or disc, so you'll need to grate it first), agave or honey (you'll need to adjust your liquids accordingly, since they are liquid). Search for sites online to find out specifics when cooking with these various sweeteners.
Raw honey would be the best choice if one didn't want to use sugar. However, whole brown cane sugar is a good, traditional sweetener as well.
this recipe sounds delicious. But I'd like to make a single cake. can I just cut all ingredients in half ?
The consistency wasn't smooth, looked gritty. So keeping my fingers crossed right now:)
I did however only have 8 eggs available and substituted the other 2 eggs by using (per egg) 30 ml cold water mixed with 3 ml baking powder (total 60 ml water and 6 ml baking powder). The substitution worked quite well.
