Oh, for crying out loud. Hillary Clinton is the Secretary of State, a big and important job in which the president actually listens to what she has to say. So why, then, is the entire first paragraph of a recent Vogue article about Clinton dedicated to the color of her pantsuit at the U.N. General Assembly meeting recently (red, in case you were wondering)?
In the next paragraph, we learn that one day at the State Department Clinton was "wearing no makeup" and looked "tired and cranky." Fret not, though, because her deputy chief of staff handed her a cosmetics bag and Clinton applied her own mascara, lipstick, blush and powder.
Really, Vogue? I don't care that Clinton does her own makeup and (still) wears brightly colored pantsuits. Keep reading »

Field Report: JK Audio RemoteMix One, BluePack
Smart phones have become the de facto news gathering tool of choice. The RemoteMix One by JK Audio and its Bluetooth twin BluePack can mix and feed one microphone and one line level device to a cell phone in a compact, portable package. It creates a professional front-end to a cell phone whether it is used for phone-ins or as an IP codec.
Connecting a professional microphone or mult box feed to that tiny 3.5 mm TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve) cell phone connection can be challenging without a proper interface. What if a reporter wants to feed audio cuts in real time during a report? Lugging around a portable multi-channel mixer may be impractical. Need a wireless mic at a press conference that interfaces to your cell phone? These challenges and more are met with the RemoteMix One and BluePack.
These rugged, belt worn devices join an elite and innovative family of remote production tools including various Bluetooth enabled devices for transmitting and receiving audio via a cell phone. "On-the-Street" reporting demands an uber-simple interface so the correspondent has their head in the story, not the technology on their hip. There are only three user volume controls: "Mic," "Aux Send" and "Head Phone" with only two switches for "Power" and "Mic Mute." The BluePack exchanges the "Mute" for a Bluetooth pairing "Multi Function Button."
The inputs and outputs
The XLR jack is a "mic" level input and works with any standard dynamic microphone. It does not provide phantom power. A playback source can be fed through the "Aux In" 3.5 mm jack and controlled with the corresponding front panel control. This mix is sent to the phone via a 1/4" "Headset Interface" jack.
Performance at a glance |
■ Operates on 9V battery
■ Wired phone connection for RemoteMix One ■ BlueTooth phone connection for BluePack ■ Belt-pack mixer and monitor amp ■ Rear-panel I/O |
The 1/4" headphone jack provides a very adequate 0.5W per channel mix of the microphone, auxiliary source and return audio from the remote end. For recording purposes, a stereo 3.5 mm jack outputs the local "mic" feed on left channel and return audio on the right. The reason for this arrangement, according to JK Audio's Joe Klinger: "Most recorders loop the input (record) audio directly to the output jacks for real-time monitoring. We went out of our way to ensure that [the] 3.5 mm output does not get looped back into the input, to avoid an echo or feedback loop. You can still hear the full mix on the headphone jack."

Hi all, I have several herbs in pots which I plan to leave outside. I'm wondering if I need to water them, if we get no rain/snow. When my herbs and perennials are in the ground, I know they are fine all winter, but not sure about pots, cuz it is not like the roots can go deeper for water. thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you get no snow/rain, you probably will need to water the pots lightly at some point. If you feel the need to water, do it on a day when the temps warm up to the 40s, and resist the temptation to saturate them. I sometimes put ice cubes in the pot; when the temps get warm enough to melt the ice, they will provide a decent winter watering. Hope this helps .... PV |
"cool" idea! thanks |
I have a 'pot ghetto' of many types of plants...small trees, roses,herbs, etc. I just leave them alone until spring and they do fine. One thing I do is surround them with bagged leaves just to insulate the pots a bit. Teresa |

You know how this ends. Two years after I left, Britain would embark on its longest period of economic growth in modern history—a remarkable journey from the bleak and bleary doldrums to the era of Blair and Blur and bling. Few cities in history have transformed themselves so swiftly and completely as London did in the 1990's. The movies alone were proof: compare the drab, monochrome London of Mike Leigh's Life Is Sweet (1991) with the Technicolor London of Sliding Doors (1998) and Notting Hill (1999), shiny, happy valentines to a city abloom with primroses and money.
From back home I watched this happen with a mix of fascination and regret. Each time I returned for a visit, the less I seemed to know of London. Tabloid references sailed over my head. I walked aimlessly down streets I no longer recognized, past couture shops that used to be haberdashers, Vespa dealerships that used to be Safeways. Another year, another Norman Foster tower. I kept my head down, trying not to notice, but the footwear had also changed: from tar-black Doc Martens to flashy rainbow-colored trainers. By the mid-2000's it might as well have been a different planet.
But nowhere was London's transformation more shockingly revealed than at my old pub. For the better part of two decades, until earlier this year, I deliberately didn't go back to the Running Horse, not wanting to disturb my recollections of it and, frankly, worried that it might have closed. A few months ago I finally mustered the will to return. What I found was not the workaday tavern of memory but a roomful of attractive people sipping Pinot Grigio.
It looked like Denmark in there, all brushed-chrome lamps and bentwood chairs. The ancient gas fireplace still flickered away in the corner, now dwarfed by the giant plasma screen above that was tuned to a fashion show in Dubai. The ornery old jukebox had been replaced by a stereo warbling out smoove Buddha Bar mixes. Gone, too, was the bleeping fruit machine (that delightful British euphemism for slots, which made gambling sound vaguely nutritious). Someone had finally removed the yellowing lace curtains that made the pub feel like Miss Havisham's musty parlor. Now the room sparkled with late-afternoon sunlight and smelled not of stale smoke and drunk people but of hyacinths and espresso (courtesy of an Illy machine behind the bar). A chalkboard drinks menu touted caipirinhas, caipiroskas, and nine wines by the glass. Back in my day we served two varietals—"red" and "white"—that came in boxes. Nobody drank them.
When I walked in, the bartender was serving chanterelle risotto to a guy who looked like Chris Martin if Chris Martin worked in hedge funds. My first thought was that I was on the wrong block. Who were all these unsettlingly handsome rich people? Where was woolly-bearded Reg? Where was Christine, the irascible Irish cook with a mouth straight out of a McDonagh play, whose food was as bland as her language salty? Who the hell had put duck confit with bok choy on the menu, let alone pan-fried sardines with couscous and gremolata? Suddenly it struck me: my youth had been gastro-fied. Even the chips came with a ramekin of aioli. As if all that weren't enough, on the wall beside the door I noticed the framed clipping: a rave review of the Running Horse from British GQ.
I ordered a half-pint of stout, lingered for 12 uncomfortable minutes, then got out of there right quick. The whole experience had messed with my head—like sneaking into an apartment you once rented and seeing what the new tenants have done with the place, with equal parts dismay (Aw, they got rid of the dumbwaiter!) and envy (Damn, why didn't it look this good when we lived here?).
Then again, all of London feels like that to me now—like a black-and-white movie that's been colorized, until the palette's too bright and the picture too…perfect. The comfortably dreary London of the early 1990's was a place where even the schlubbiest guy could somehow fit in, so long as he knew a few Britishisms and could talk a modicum of sport. For a kid from the colonies, the city was the consummate host, making him feel—against all expectations—entirely at home.

Why vote GREEN?
One of the things that is patently obvious in modern Australian elections is that neither of the main political parties has either the will or the interest in making any substantial inroads into our carbon emissions.
The Coalition is in bed with business
The Coalition is wanting to drag our country back to the slash and burn mentality of the 1980s via giving big business, in particular mining interests, a free run. Tony Abbot recently announced a rollback of the restrictions imposed on the fishing industry as if there were no depletion of fish stocks in the oceans. Makes you wonder who is buttering his bread to make such a silly assertion, as he is not stupid.
The nuclear industry also gets a free run even though any intelligent discussion of nuclear power always comes down to five inescapable main points. See these points at bottom of this article.
Labour no friend to environment
Labour is also not a friend to the environment, as its priorities will always be jobs. Jobs in mining, in forestry, in building power plants, roads and factories will always take precedence over the environment. And, as we have seen with the mining tax backdown, Labour is also unable to fight and win against big business, especially big mining. In actual fact, in my opinion, the logical partner of the Greens is the National Party, representing, as they are supposed to do, the farmers. This is somewhat muddied as the National Party also represents the mining industry which has positioned itself as being anti-Green and chooses not to care nor want to pay for caring for the environment once they have extracted their goodies.
Labour's backdown on a carbon trading mechanism when it clearly had a mandate from the 2007 election where one of its key policies was such a scheme, is also a black mark, although that can be justified by the failure of the Copenhagen conference where an internationally agreed framework was meant to have been worked out but wasn't.
Read Labour and Greens Enemies? for more on this.
Greens only real choice
The Greens are the only viable party that has an interest in putting human values ahead of profits. Human values such as community, as clean air, clean food, clean water and accessible public transport while at the same time supporting sustainable industry. It will not govern (unfortunately), but will provide the necessary and rightful checks and balances in our government if they hold the balance of power in the senate. See Why are Greens so Unfashionable for more on this.
But why vote Green in my electorate if they cannot win?
Well, in Richmond, which includes the Byron Bay area, Joe Ebono can actually win if he gets enough support, so maybe contact his office. Joe, or Giovanni as he is mostly known in the Byron area, has been a strong community presence since he moved up here from Sydney years ago. Locals will remember his BAY FM radio show, The Generator, as well as the Ebony Institute.
Get behind Joe Ebono, drop into his office at 105 Stuart St Mullumbimby or call 6684 6202. Or visit Joe's site if you just want to donate.
In other electorates it is good to vote 1 Green simply to send a message, and then vote for whoever else you want. Use your vote to be heard - if you simply vote for one of the major parties then your vote is taken for granted. Use the preferential voting system.
In the senate, please vote Green to give them the balance of power, so that whoever is on government has to consider the environment, both human and non human, before any law gets enacted. The Greens are the only party who stands for humanism.
Uranium Mining
- Uranium mining is not sustainable. Once dug up and pulverised there is no putting the radiative materials back in the bottle. Dust storms that have hit the east coast over the last year may or may not have included radioactive dust from the Olympic Dam uranium mine.
- The mining dust need to be watered down constantly (using water from the Great Artesian wells, which is being further depleted daily and is being used at no cost to the minion company) to prevent this dust from entering the atmosphere, which may or may not be done while the mine is operational, but will certainly not occur once the mine is closed, so while for the next 20 years it may be 'under control', there is no mention of the next 50 years, the next 200 years, the next 1000 years. The Olympic Dam uranium mine in South Australia uses 25% of that state's water supply to keep the mine running, and by 2015 will produce 50% of the state's carbon emissions. See for how to buy Hard Rain, David Bradbury's telling movie about uranium mining.
- There is an indisputable (not by anyone sane enough to add 2 and 2) connection between uranium mining and nuclear weapons proliferation, regardless of what China or India say. If we supply uranium for peaceful purposes, the uranium slated for such will then be freed up to make bombs.
- There is no answer to the waste issue, regardless of the purpose built railway that has suddenly appeared from Darwin to Alice Springs which happens to be managed by a UK company whose only specialty is running nuclear waste trains. The site in the NT slated as a waste dump is at the confluence of 3 major rivers, and anyway, who is going to be responsible for this waste in 100 years, or 1000, or 10,000? See
- Nuclear power is not a greenhouse solution. It is actually dirtier from a carbon perspective than gasfired power, and 25 times as dirty as wind or solar. And even if it was safe, due to there being a shortage of uranium supplies it can only ever be a marginal energy source.

Re- copenhagen conference.
Yes I do find it hard to make a choice this year, And I'm leaning towards the greens. How could the Copenhagen conference be a failure, when 150 countries attended and international attention was brought to this matter? Unfortunately more meetings/time like this are needed for further action. Kevin Rudd did not do much for the enviroment other than go ahead with the minning super tax and lost his job overnight, which just shows that maybe our government is not the ones running this country. We are in need of a more socialist government, where large co-ops cant dominate opinion making in the senates. Extreme capitalism fails.

Missouri Is #1 In College Football
Say It Loud, Say It Proud, But For God's Sake Say It NOW
After this past weekend's 36-28 victory over Kansas University,1 The University of Missouri Tigers, unranked in the preseason polls, are now #1 in the Bowl Championship Series, #1 in The Associated Press Writers' Poll, and #2 behind West Virginia in the USA Today/Coaches Poll.
This dizzy ascension of my medical school alma mater to the top of the computer-calculated BCS heap is sufficiently atypical to cause me to (1) acknowledge that a college football season is under way and (2) abandon my steadfastly maintained strategy of climbing on the bandwagon of any sports team2 only after it has crossed the finish line.3
It's been a long time since Missouri has been #1 in its conference, let alone the country, and who knows when it will happen again – or how long it will last?
There's a whole lot of gloating to catch up on while the gloatin's good.
The Kansas City Star summarizes Mizzou's situation succinctly:
It has been 47 years — the final week of the Big Eight Conference season in 1960 — since a Missouri football team has been ranked No. 1.
To keep that ranking, Missouri has to beat Oklahoma — No. 9 in the BCS — on Saturday night in the Big 12 Conference championship game in San Antonio.
That will guarantee the Tigers a berth in the BCS National Championship game in New Orleans in January. Then all the Tigers would have to do is beat an opponent that right now is likely to be West Virginia.
The Victory Song Celebration
Most schools have one or two fight songs. When I was enrolled in The University of Missouri Marcus Welby Tech back in the 1970s, Mizzou seemed to have dozens of fight songs. The count may be in the three figures by now.
Regardless, this quaintly ferocious refrain is The Mizzou Fight Song. Prepare to be moved.
Fight Tigers
Hit it, Hooray, Hurrah,
Mizzou, Mizzou,
Hooray, Hurrah,
Mizzou, Mizzou,
Hooray, Hurrah,
And a "Bully" for Ol' Mizzou,
Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah,
Mizzou-rah, Mizzou-rah, Mizzou-rah,
Fight Tigers Factoid #1: This is only nominally a song. It is actually a cadence spliced between "Every True Son" and "Fight Tigers," two of the many songs officially listed as the Mizzou Fight Song.
Fight Tigers Factoid #2: 97.7% of those who join in singing/chanting "Fight Tigers," know the words to only the first five lines. Beginning with the words, "And a 'Bully' for Ol' Mizzou," those folks substitute random nonsense syllables for the actual lyrics. Mizzou tradition holds that this is an acceptable alternative to the version as originally written as long as those nonsense syllables are vocalized at maximum volume.
Audience Participation
OK, play "Fight Tigers" once more and sing along this time. Making it through those first 5 lines after imbibing any liquor costing less than $1.65 per gallon, one or more pitchers of beer, or, at least in the 70s, a six pack of fruit coolers, not only qualifies you as an honorary Missouri Football Tigers fan but also as a medical practitioner licensed to perform surgeries and psychotherapy throughout Kansas.

- Kansas plays the deservedly loathed villain to Missouri's hero in the ongoing morality play that is the intensely competitive Missouri-Kansas rivalry; it is also the school my first wife attended [↩]
- The obvious exception is college basketball which transcends the concept of "sport" to take its place in the metaphysical realm. It is, by he way, only 112 days until the March 18, 2008 start of the 2008 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. [↩]
- From Blog Reports On Crystal Lake Rowing Event Not Part Of Gay Games: I am, like most bloggers as far as I can tell, not only a fair weather fan but a fair weather fan who also demands a bit of glitz or at least a comfortably appointed bandwagon onto which to climb. … For that matter, bandwagons themselves must meet certain criteria. My official declaration that I was a Chicago White Sox fan, for example, became effective midnight 26 October 2005, just after they won the World Series. Many practical and fiscal compensations accrued from my precise timing in acquiring citizenship in ChiSox Nation. The savings in time, fuel, and parking fees alone garnered from my decision not to drive to games that season is impressive; add to that the hours and dollars I would have otherwise spent if I actually attended any games, and the totals approach remarkable levels. I am likewise confident that my intellectual and neurological states were protected from the damage that would have necessarily been inflicted if I had read beyond the headlines of the sports pages or listened to the sports broadcasts featuring wincingly painful puns ("Soxtober" and "Battle of the Soxes" come to mind); player by player and community characteristic by community characteristic comparisons of the White Sox, their then current opponent, and, of course, the Cubs; extensive classical, revisionist, and deconstructionalist takes on the Black Sox; and yet more examinations of the "Curse Of The [fill in the blank]" phenomenon in baseball. The primary advantage of deferred fandom is, of course, psychological. I simply bypassed the angst of the championship race as well as the bitterness of the late season slump and, without even pausing to pass Go, proceeded to the post-victory celebration and gloating. As one who was first seduced and then heartbroken by the late 1970's-early 1980's versions of Ray Meyer's DePaul Blue Demons as they transformed from the NCAA Tournament's Cinderella Team into the ugly stepsister, I can testify that the "Destiny" in "Team of Destiny" is not inevitably a felicitous state. In any case, given the pace of baseball, it certainly seems safe to climb on the bandwagon once it has crossed the finish line. [↩]

South Beach Recipes - SBD Holiday Dessert Recipes (various phases)View Full Version : SBD Holiday Dessert Recipes (various phases) ellis 08-18-2004, 06:26 PM I'll sticky this. Maybe I'll make a couple of threads for different sections... Barb0522 11-13-2004, 10:25 PM I haven't tried these yet but I got them off another forum and they sound good. Angel Food Cake (A Heavenly Holiday Cake) From South Beach Diet Online's The Daily Dish 12/20/03: What could be more fitting for Christmas than a South Beach Diet-friendly Angel Food Cake? This delicious, Phase 2 recipe was contributed by online member Kathy from Sequim, Washington. 1 3/4 cups egg whites (about 12-14 large eggs), divided 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 1/2 cups Splenda, divided 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Carefully separate eggs, making certain there is no yolk in the egg whites (otherwise the whites will not beat into peaks). In a large bowl, let egg whites warm to room temperature, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375°F. Sift whole wheat flour and re-measure 1 cup. Then re-sift this flour along with 3/4 cup Splenda, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Repeat re-sifting two more times and set aside. Beat egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar at high speed until soft peaks form. Add remaining 3/4 cup Splenda to egg white mixture a tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Either sift or gently sprinkle one-quarter of the flour mixture over the egg whites. Gently fold in with 15 under-and-over strokes. Repeat, turning bowl so that everything gets blended well. After last addition, scrape and double check that all the flour mixture is well blended into egg whites. You want to keep the egg white mixture as fluffy as possible, so be sure not to beat it down. Spread batter into a clean, ungreased, 9- or 10-inch tube pan (angel food cake pan). Do your best to make certain there are no air pockets. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the edges of the cake just start to pull away from the pan. Invert the pan over the neck of a wine-type bottle; let it cool completely. Carefully remove from pan. Angel Food Trifle WW Angel Food Cake- broken into chunks SF FF Vanilla Pudding(made according to directions on box) mixed w/ FF Cool Whip (almost entire container) Strawberries, kiwi, bananas (or any other fruit that you love- I recommend berries...) More FF Cool Whip as garnish on top. Layer together in trifle dish and refridgerate for at least 2 hours- yummy the next day too! Easy Cherry Cheesecake Phase 1 I whipped 16 oz low fat cream cheese with 4oz light sour cream until fluffy. Take 2 boxes of your favorite sugar free jello ( I used black cherry or key lime or strawberry) mix with one cup of boiling water(like you are going to make Jello) After it's dissolved slowly mix into cream cheese mixture. Mix until well blended. I used my electric mixer for whipping the cream cheese and blending it all together. Pour into a pie plate sprayed with Pam. Chill until firm. I topped mine with remaining half cup of sour cream that I mixed with splenda. Cut into 8 Ruthxxx 11-14-2004, 11:37 AM This will work with the egg whites that are packaged in the little cartons. Otherwise you will end up with 12 or 14 egg yolks! LegendaryZelda 02-19-2006, 01:35 AM I just noticed this, doing more poking around, I guess :) On Thanksgiving, I made myself a pumpkin pie, sf style. I used Libby's pumpkin pie recipe (on every can of the solid pumpkin - do NOT get the "pumpkin pie mix" or whatever it's called) It's got the pumpkin, evaporated (not sweetened condensed) milk, sugar, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, eggs, and maybe something else I'm forgetting. I just replaced the sugar with splenda (the measurable kind) and baked it in a plain glass baking dish rather than a pie crust. It really was good, especially with some light Cool Whip :) beachgal 11-07-2007, 01:53 PM I've made this for Thanksgiving dessert for the last two years. I serve it with SF Cool Whip, and make the crust from a frozen WW pie crust (made without sugar). It's amazing! I put my changes in purple. Ginger-Hazelnut Pumpkin Tart Prebaking the empty crust in Step 2 ensures a crisp pastry. Cooking spray 1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie dough (such as Pillsbury) (I use a frozen WW pie crust made without sugar) 2/3 cup granulated sugar (I use a mixture of Splenda, Erithrytol, and Spice flavored SF syrup) 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese 1/2 cup fat-free milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin 1 large egg, lightly beaten 3 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted 2 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger (I use this...it comes to a very little amount on each slice and you can always pick yours off if you're worried...) 2 tablespoons brown sugar (I use a brown sugar substitute, if you can't find one, try a combo of 1.5 T of Splenda and .5T of Cinnamon for color. This is sprinkled on top, so SF Maple syrup doesn't work...) 3 1/3 cups vanilla low-fat ice cream (I use FF cool whip...we don't need the extra calories!) Preheat oven to 375º. Coat bottom only of a 9-inch round removable-bottom tart pan with cooking spray. Press dough into bottom and up sides of pan. Pierce bottom and sides of dough with a fork. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Combine granulated sugar, cheese, milk, vanilla, pumpkin-pie spice, salt, pumpkin, and egg in a food processor; process until well blended. Spoon the pumpkin mixture into prepared crust. Combine hazelnuts, ginger, and brown sugar; sprinkle evenly over pumpkin mixture. Bake at 375º for 45 minutes or until set. Cool 20 minutes on a wire rack. Serve with low-fat ice cream.

Enjoy! beachgal 11-16-2009, 09:50 AM From the Daily Dish of 11/16/09: Pumpkin Pie (Phase 2) Description Redolent with warm spices, this creamy treat is enhanced with a delightfully crispy, light crust that tastes deceivingly buttery, though no butter is used. Whipped topping and chocolate shavings make a gorgeous and irresistible topping, if desired. Serves 8 Ingredients 6 (9" by 14") sheets whole-wheat phyllo dough, thawed 1/3 cup granular sugar substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree 4 large egg whites 1 large egg yolk 1 (12-ounce) can 2% evaporated milk 2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Light or fat-free whipped topping (optional) Bittersweet chocolate for shavings (optional) Instructions Position rack in middle of oven and heat oven to 350°F. Stack phyllo sheets on plastic wrap or waxed paper; cover with a barely damp towel to prevent sheets from drying out. Lightly coat 9" pie plate with cooking spray. Lay 1 phyllo sheet in the pie plate. Coat sheet with cooking spray, making sure to spray edges. Repeat with remaining sheets, rotating each slightly in the pan to form a circle. Fold and crimp edges. Place a piece of parchment or waxed paper on top of crust. Weigh crust down with pie weights or dried beans and bake until edges are lightly golden, about 10 minutes. While crust is baking, combine sugar substitute, cinnamon, ginger, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat pumpkin puree, egg whites, and egg yolk until well blended. Slowly add milk, maple syrup, and vanilla, beating until blended. Add spice mixture and blend well. Remove pie weights from crust. Pour filling into crust and bake until tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove pie from oven and cool at room temperature to set. Just before serving, top each slice of pie with 1 to 2 tablespoons whipped topping and chocolate shavings (if desired).

Lee University baseball coach Mark Brew could do nothing but shake his head as he peered out his office window and viewed the falling snow, realizing his team will go from snowballs to baseball on Saturday.
His Flames are scheduled to open the 2014 baseball season with a doubleheader against Emmanuel College, with first pitch at 2 p.m. A single game will be played on Sunday, also at 2.
Brew admits getting his club ready for the upcoming season has not been easy. "It has been a difficult few weeks of preparation with the freezing temperatures, and now we have to deal with snow. However, I want to compliment our players. They have come to work and prepare every day and have not complained.
"The weather has been bad on everyone and the teams that handle it the best will be better able to handle the early part of the schedule," he added. "So I like where we currently are in terms of preparation, in spite of the tough elements we have had to endure."
The professional baseball scouts flocked to Olympic Field last season and signed five quality arms from Lee's pitching staff.
"It's difficult to lose one arm with professional ability, much less five," noted Brew. "However, I really have been pleased with this year's pitching staff thus far. Though this staff will have different strengths than last year's [harder-throwing] staff, I really think we have a chance to once again be a quality pitching staff."
Senior right-hander Jeremy Stawychny will get the ball for the opener on Saturday. Junior righty Nikolay Uherek, a transfer from Georgia Perimeter College, will start the second game, and red-shirt right-hander Dustin Lawson will get the call on Sunday.
"Almost everyone will get a chance to get on the mound early and show what they can do," explained Brew. "We will need every arm to fill various roles as we progress into the 2014 season."
Award-winning fielder Josh Silver will be one of the team leaders. Brew calls Silver one of the top shortstops in the country, regardless of level. "He is as good defensively as anyone I have seen in a while, and he is also our top returning offensive player," pointed out the Lee coach.
Senior outfielder/pitcher Derrick Pitts should be a key in the middle of the lineup, according to Brew. "We have solid team speed led by (junior transfer) center fielder Siosi Poti and second baseman Andres Nelo, also a junior transfer.
"We also have some guys in the middle of the lineup in seniors Zac Hawkins, Cameron Brewster, Jordan Stewart and Blake Ray that are capable run producers, in addition to Silver and Pitts. Defensively, I think we could really be good, led by Silver and Poti and junior Josh Tate, who is a strong defensive catcher."
The Flames begin play in the Gulf South Conference on Feb. 15, when they travel to Jackson to test an old TranSouth Conference rival in Union University.
"All I can say is we better be prepared on a daily basis," said Brew. "We pride ourselves on preparation, but that will be tested to the max this year with so many quality opponents on our schedule.
"Everyone will be well coached and will have teams that can execute. Our level of execution and preparedness will have to be at an all-time high for us to have any type of successful run in 2014."

Thursday May 5 Takin' it downtown: Basketball-Hall- of-Famer-turned-philanthropist Julius "Dr. J" Erving is standing up for Denver youth today as the guest of the local Big Brothers organization. Erving will speak to students and community leaders at a 2 p.m. youth rally at East High School, 1545 Detroit St., and later this evening will give the keynote address at the Big Brothers 76th Anniversary Celebration benefit at the Denver Marriott City Center. Tickets to the 6:30 p.m. fundraiser, which includes a silent auction, dinner and live entertainment by Chris Daniels and the Kings, are $150; for details call 377-8827.
The thrill of the glass: An ancient and delicate medium takes a contemporary turn this month when Tapestry, located at 3rd and Fillmore in Cherry Creek North, presents New Work of Contemporary Glass Bead Makers '94, an exhibit of intricate, artful and even whimsical ornamental objects on display through June 5. And if this show piques your interest in glass arts, you can then trot over to Pismo, down the street at 2727 E. 3rd Ave., where major works by the cream of the Northwest's crop--including Dale Chihuly, Dante Marioni and others--will be on display through May 26. Opening receptions for both exhibitions will be held in conjunction with an area gallery walk this evening from 5 to 9. For information call Tapestry, 393-0535, or Pismo, 333-7724.
Friday May 6 Re-user friendly: Now your garbage can be junk-no-more. Find out how at this weekend's 1994 Colorado Recycling Expo at Currigan Hall, open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and tomorrow. On display will be recycled products for businesses and homes, as well as information about recycling services; in addition, the Expo will feature seminars and entertainment. Admission to all events and exhibits is free; call 620-4292 for further information. Currigan Hall is located at 1324 Champa in downtown Denver.
Back to the future: The Industrial Arts Theatre calls this year's season "Virtual Reality: Theater in Your Face," and to prove it, it's staging a theatrical version of the ancient Japanese tale Rashomon--but this time set in the year 2094. The updated story of a brutal confrontation between a husband, wife and ruthless bandit opens tonight at 8 at the Loft Theatre, 120 W. 1st Ave., and will continue on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 and Sundays at 7 through June 12. Admission is $11 or $12; for reservations or information, call 744-3245.
Saturday May 7 Here to stay: Cinco de Mayo week is filled with celebrations of Colorado's Hispanic culture. But at the Colorado History Museum, the celebration will continue year-round in La Gente, a new permanent exhibit opening today. Tracing the four and a half centuries of regional written history, the exhibition tells its story with photographs, maps, artifacts, textiles and documents; one area houses a changing art gallery featuring rotating small shows of historic and contemporary Hispanic arts. Admission to the museum, at 1300 Broadway, ranges from $1.50 to $3 (under 6 free); for additional information call 866-3670.
Our town: Coinciding with National Preservation Week, Historic Denver Week is held each May to bring attention to and celebrate the wonderful architectural history of Denver. Events begin today with the engaging Box City project, during which elementary-school-age children plan and create a city out of cardboard boxes from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the Norwest Bank Atrium, 1740 Broadway. Adults can get into the act this evening at the Hard Hat Ball, a benefit for Historic Denver, Inc. beginning in the same location at 6:30--partygoers pay $94 to view the completed Box City and mingle with a "City Council" composed of community leaders and media and sports personalities. Additionally, a variety of bus and walking tours take place throughout the week. For details about all events call 534-1858.
A bumbling experience: Gamelan orchestras are by nature mesmerizing--the music created on the gamelan's various gongs, xylophones, flutes and drums is often nothing more than a beautiful, ringing pulse. Denver's own Gamelan Tunas Mekar brings this exotic Balinese art form to the Ricketson Auditorium of the Denver Museum of Natural History tonight, where the group will accompany a pair of native Indonesian hoofers in the performance of a dance whose name translates into "Swaying Bumblebees." Tickets for the 8 p.m. program are $12 ($8 children, $10 seniors); call 355-3132 or 360-5239. The museum is located at 2001 Colorado Blvd.
Next of kinetics: Spring can make the calmest folks go completely berserk--even blissed-out Boulderites. Just witness the annual Kinetic Sculpture Challenge, a wild, woolly and completely different kind of competition at Boulder Reservoir that turns its participants into daring but zany comedians. Competitors must create human-powered kinetic sculpture/vehicles that are able to travel over a four-mile course of land, water and mud. The accompanying festivities include a balloon festival and pancake breakfast for early birds (breakfast is at 6:30 a.m.; balloons take off at 7), a volleyball tournament for six-person coed teams (7:30 a.m.), and of course, the main event (7 to 3). Spectators pay $8 to $17 per carload, depending on whether they choose to park at Coot Lake or the Main Beach; those arriving by foot or cycle pay $2 each. Call 444-KBCO.

Adjuvant Biological Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer
Name of the Trial
Phase II Randomized Study of Adjuvant Therapy Comprising Bevacizumab Versus Cetuximab in Combination With Gemcitabine Hydrochloride, Capecitabine, and Radiotherapy in Patients With Completely Resected Carcinoma of the Pancreas (ECOG-E2204). See the protocol summary.
Principal Investigators
Dr. Jordan Berlin, ECOG; Dr. Arthur William Blackstock, CALGB; Dr. Andrew Lowy, SWOG; and Dr. Robert McWilliams, NCCTG.
Why This Trial Is Important
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly types of cancer, with fewer than four percent of patients surviving five years or longer. The best chance for long-term survival is complete surgical removal (resection) of the tumor. However, even resectable patients face a high likelihood of recurrence. To help improve the outcome for patients with resectable pancreatic cancer, doctors currently treat these patients with post-operative (adjuvant) chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
In this trial, patients with completely resected pancreatic cancer will receive adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy plus additional treatment with either bevacizumab or cetuximab. Bevacizumab and cetuximab are biological agents that target different proteins that are thought to be important for tumor growth and spread. Bevacizumab blocks the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein used by some tumors to form new blood vessels. Cetuximab blocks the activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a protein that promotes cell growth and proliferation.
"Our primary goal with this trial is to assess the safety of these biologic therapies in combination with standard adjuvant treatment," said Dr. Berlin. "Additionally, we hope to see some measures of effectiveness that we can build on in future studies."
Contact Information
This clinical trial is no longer accepting new patients. To locate other clinical trials for pancreatic cancer, search the NCI's database of clinical trials or call the NCI's Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) for more information. The toll-free call is confidential.

You will need to bring what you need for your meeting and clean up after yourself. The advantage is that using the Business and Career Center is free!
If you plan to use any of the audiovisual equipment, training is available by appointment. To make an appointment, call the Technology Help Desk at 847.324.3179 at least one week before your meeting. You must get training before using the equipment for the first time.
Other important details:
- Access to the suite begins when the Library opens on Monday through Saturday at 9:00am and atnoon on Sunday. If you are reserving the program room, make sure to allow yourself adequate time to arrange tables and chairs before the meeting is scheduled to begin. We cannot provide early access to the suite and recommend starting your meeting no earlier than 30 minutes after the Library opens.
- To gain access to the suite, bring your Skokie business library card to the Reference Desk on the second floor. A librarian will check out the key to you. You are now responsible for the condition of the room until you return the key after your meeting.
- The suite door locks automatically and may not be propped open because patrons studying nearby will be disturbed by the noise. If someone in your group needs to leave and return, either send the key with them or post someone near the door to let them back in.
- Please notify the Reference Desk immediately of significant spills during your meeting or if you find a mess when you arrive.
- When everyone has left, clean up, turn out the lights, and return the key to the Reference Desk.
- If you have reserved the Program Room, the two smaller rooms will not be available for use by others for the duration of your reservation.
We may contact you after your meeting to find out how well the suite met your needs. To ensure equal access to the suite, businesses may be limited to six meetings in a six-month period, depending on overall demand.
The Business and Career Center is located in the southeast corner of the second floor of Skokie Public Library at 5215 Oakton Street in downtown Skokie. Free parking is available on both sides of the building.
For more information on all of the ways Skokie Public Library can help your business grow and succeed, contact Terry Ratoff, our staff liaison for business services, by phone at 847.324.3417 or send an message.

The cuttings I took today have been cut below a node with a X-acto blade, that pair of leaves removed and the node buried in sand in a small plastic cup of damp sand set in a tray of water. They are so limp they are hanging over the edge. They were pretty leggy, I'm wondering if I should have cut them shorter. But I thought they should have at least a few pairs of leaves. For some that means that they are still 10 inches tall…or given the fact that they are laying flat, 10 inches long… If they live at all I see them curving up again from a prone position much like the floppy tuber shoots themselves did. The sand is not really deep enough to put a stick in that wouldn't also fall over from the weight of the stem.
What am I overlooking? Or is this to be expected? |

You only need one (or 2 at the most) set of leaves above the sand & one set of leaf nodes is sufficient under the sand. Sounds like you could get a few more cuttings from your 10 inch cuttings. Ellie |

Forgot to ask-- did you cut a hole in the bottom of the small container so the sand stays REALLY wet- the water below isn't just for humidity- it's to keep the sand wet at all times. You're growing your cutting in the water- the sand is just to keep it standing up straight- which it will do if it's shorter. If you didn't cut a hole it won't be wet enough & the cuttings will wilt. |
I did put holes in. I figured the sand had to be sopping wet. Then I can water from below too to keep it wet. I did think of cutting up the long stems and making more sections, but I don't know what I'm going to do with these as it is! I have a lot of tubers started. They were too leggy and I knew I had to cut them down, and hated to waste anything. |

Random Acts of Love

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
It doesn't matter how young or old you are or what style of music you enjoy, the odds are you recognize those lyrics and can probably hum the melody too. And even though it's been cut by dozens of artists through the years, the iconic version remains Louis Armstrong's. In fact it's hard to separate the two. Yet unlike many tunes that swirl around in our heads and lyrics that evoke memories from decades ago, it was almost never recorded and released.
The song, uncharacteristic of most of Armstrong's jazz work, was written by Bob Thiele and George Weiss in 1967. Thiele was a well-known songwriter and producer for ABC Records and Weiss was a songwriter who co-wrote the hit version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" among many others. It was written to bring a sense of hope and inspiration to a world filled with increasing social and political unrest. Thiele and Weiss originally pitched the song to Tony Bennett, who turned it down. (His career survived.)
That summer another producer, Artie Butler, suggested pitching the song to Louis Armstrong for a pop vocal record he was working on. Armstrong agreed to record the song and Thiele and Weiss traveled to Las Vegas where Louis was appearing at the Tropicana Hotel. It was August 16th. After his midnight show the ensemble drove across town to Bill Porter's United Studios and gathered with the engineers and musicians. It was around 2 a.m. Things quickly began to unravel.
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
First, ABC Records President Larry Newton had come to Las Vegas to meet with Armstrong and have some publicity photos taken for the trades. Armstrong had just been signed to the label which Newton considered a major coup. But…he hated Thiele and Weiss's tune. He expected Armstrong to be recording another upbeat pop song like "Hello Dolly!" not a slow-tempo ballad. Newton went ballistic and had to be physically restrained and locked outside the studio doors.
The second thing that happened was, about 45 minutes into the session, a Union Pacific freight train rumbled into town on tracks near the studio building. It blew its horn several times and the session had to be stopped for 30 minutes while the train maneuvered in the yard. This was in the days when recordings were done 'live'; the vocalist, in a corner of the studio or sometimes an isolation booth, the band or orchestra and any background vocals were recorded at the same time. It might require 10, 15 or 20 takes before everything was right - the playing, the vocals, the mix. A record essentially captured a live performance; overdubbing was extremely rare.
The session eventually resumed but was interrupted again less than an hour later by the same train leaving the train yard. Between the rumbling of the freight cars and the repeated blowing of the diesel's horn, the session shut down for another half hour. Add to that the occasional outburst from Larry Newton, still locked outside the studio, and the situation could have quickly deteriorated into an expensive waste of time. But Louis shook his head and began to laugh. That broke the tension and soon everyone was laughing over the situation. The things working against them actually lightened the mood and increased their determination. Finally at about 6 a.m. they got the take they wanted. Because the session had run long, Armstrong only accepted the basic scale of $250, to make sure the orchestra got paid. But "What A Wonderful World" was 'in the can'.
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"
But that's only half the story. The tapes sat in a vault at ABC Records in New York for months, only being released in the United Kingdom early in 1968. In his anger, Larry Newton refused to promote the song in the U.S. and it only sold 1,000 singles. But, it became a huge hit in the UK, going to #1 on the British charts and staying there for four unprecedented weeks. For EMI, ABC Records' UK partner, it became the top selling single of the year.
1968 was a difficult year in America. With the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy that spring and summer, growing civil unrest and increasing U.S. involvement in the Viet Nam War, Armstrong felt the song needed to be heard in this country to promote a sense of hope and optimism. Armstrong loved the song and performed it everywhere, including numerous television appearances, and its popularity began to grow. EMI forced ABC to release a U.S. version of the record that October but, like the original single, it was never promoted to radio or retail and was considered a flop. Following Armstrong's death in 1971, the record was re-released and enjoyed modest success.
But it wasn't until 1988 that the song found its audience. Director Barry Levinson was working on the film, "Good Morning, Vietnam", and needed a song to use as a musical backdrop under a montage of images of the war. He considered dozens of songs but when he heard Armstrong's version of "What A Wonderful World", he knew it was the perfect choice. The poignant lyrics and Armstrong's gravelly voice stood in stark contrast to the images onscreen, a paradox of sight and sound. The ironic sequence became a focal point of the film, and the song? Twenty years after its initial release it finally became a certified hit.
The imagery in the lyrics evokes warmth; the music is slow and easy; and Louis' vocals capture the mood and heart of the song with a uniqueness that makes his the signature version, even though it has been recorded dozens of times since. You can feel the perspective and believability he brings to the lyric. After all, he was sixty-six years old on that hot August night when he labored in a smoky, brightly-lit studio until dawn, through interruptions and arguments, to get it "just right".
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
So is this just an interesting story? A look behind the scenes at the creation of a musical classic? No, I think there are a few lessons we can draw from the story.
It is first an example of perseverance. Bob Thiele and George Weiss knew they had a hit on their hands. But they had to get it in the hands of the right artist. Once they accomplished that, they still had to get it recorded and deal with record company politics. Even after the initial record was completed it took decades to become a hit. But it ultimately achieved success because people believed in it and fought for it. Sometimes it takes a long time for an audience to recognize an object's value. We can be that way too – in our relationships, our careers, our walk with God. Do we persevere or do we give up too easily?
Second, it is often the case that it can be a long time before you see the fruits of your labor. In fact, you may never see them. That was the case with Armstrong; the record didn't really take off until seventeen years after his death. We don't like that; we don't have the patience for it. We live in an era of instant gratification; we want our payoff and we want it now. But hope deferred is not hope denied.
Third, if you're true to your vision and faithfully execute it, people will be blessed. If your art speaks truth with beauty and integrity, it will connect with people on a deeper level, beyond being recognized as just a touching lyric or a pretty melody. Songs like that – and lives that are lived in that way – have staying power. They become timeless reminders of what truth looks like, what the scripture calls "trophies of grace", that reach beyond the familiar into the mystery of grace. Do we have confidence in our vision, that people will 'get it', or do we fall back into the same clichés and predictable patterns? Do we put ourselves at risk in seeking the unknown or settle for the known, the comfortable, the 'safe'?
Lastly, if God wants it to happen, it's going to happen. It may be something as simple as a song or as important and complex as your life, but God will always, always, always make a way. He is undeterred by the obstacles we wrestle with. His purposes are deeper and broader than we can understand. And his ultimate intention is to reconcile man to himself. There is a quiet kind of assurance we can draw from knowing those things; that in our life, our work, our art, we are co-creators with God.
As Armstrong once said, "What we play, is life."
There are many circumstances that could have prevented this song from becoming the classic that it has. But people persevered. They learned patience. They had passion for what they believed in. And they were committed to a purpose that was beyond self-interest or personal gain.
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yeah.
Thanks, Louis.
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
This is an amazing story. I had no idea, but it shows how The Lord can make things happen for His good.
I never knew the story behind the song, but it makes perfect sense to me as to how God does make things happen for His good. This song has meant a lot to me. Twenty-three years ago my oldest son was born very ill, they didn't expect him to live. I heard this song the next morning and I just cried and cried. To this day, I can't hear it, even reading the words brings me to tears. Just like this song, God made a way for my son. It's been a long road for him but he is a miracle of God.
I heard the song the first time when I was watching Good Morning Vietnam in college. Now every time I hear it on tv I remember those scenes and Louis Armstrong singing it. The story is really interesting. Good spiritual points too. Thank you.
I have always loved this song. But it has such a wonderful story behind it that I never knew. Your blogs are always interesting, they make me think and laugh out loud. The Lord is always working behind the scenes to accomplish His will. Praise the Lord!
I never knew anything about what it took to make this song successful. I suppose a lot of songs have interesting stories behind them. You're right, there are so many lessons we can learn from life if we pay attention. Thank you.
You used to tell stories like this on the radio, not this long, but good background with a way to apply it. I miss that. But thanks for blogging, really interesting. Great song.
Great story, Cecil and great conclusions. Were you there when the recording was done? ;-)
Thanks for telling the world about the Wonderful World
Best regards,
Bill K
Cecil, this is a cool story. My favorite line is 'After all, he was sixty-six years old on that hot August night when he labored in a smoky, brightly-lit studio until dawn, through interruptions and arguments, to get it "just right".' That paints such a cool picture. I think its sad that the song wasn't a big hit while he was alive but it has touched so many people's lives I'm sure he'd be proud.
What a wonderful story, what joy there is in what we see if our eyes and heart are opened to them

VIDEO: Hercules Building undergoes renovations A Wilmington landmark gets a facelift, as the one-time office of the future, plans for the next future. WDEL's Carl Kanefsky explains. The Hercules Building, which has stood at 13th and Market Streets since 1982, and once considered state of the art, takes a big step into the future, positioning itself as a destination for tenants. Paul McConnell, Managing Partner of the company that owns the building, hopes new amenities will draw new tenants, doing new styles of business. With the ground floor of the building complete, the next phase gets rolling. "We are setting aside space for the fitness center. We're setting aside space for the cafe, the fast food court, the conference centers. You couldn't even use this space, it was big open space. We've now filled this floor in so people can congregate, meet and create this sense of community," says McConnell. The timeline for completion of the entire project is three to five years, but McConnell says by that time, more changes will most likely be needed. "Each tenant, if you think of a lease is anywhere from five to ten years, so during the course of that lease, every tenant will be moving, changing offices, recycling things, so it's a non-stop process," says McConnell. |

DVD review
"We have a truck on fire ... we can't stop the dancing chicken..."In Werner Herzog's steady but bleak 1977 gaze at American badlands, Bruno S plays a Berlin street musician who goes in search of a better life in the US with hooker girlfriend (Eva Mattes) and mad old friend (Clemens Scheitz), but finds only the despairingly drab dead-end of rural Wisconsin. The movie lan Curtis watched the night he died.

But you kids have fun in here and stay off the meth.

If a paramedic here told someone they don't need to go to the hospital after an injury from high pressure cut from hydraulics they would be fired immediately! At the very least it can cause blood poisoning. Those cuts are deeper than they appear and they need thorough cleaning. I've seen it done a few times as I drove ambulances at one time in my past.

Titan's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Titan fits his name! He is a 140 pound giant rottweiler. His personality is the perfect model of how every rottie should be. He is great with people of all ages, dogs and cats. Not long ago he tore his ACL and his vet and rescue are trying to manage his pain the best we can on pain medication and joint supplement. We are hopeful that if he is able to loose 15-20 pounds that the injury will be tolerable. Surgery to repair the ACL is not an option until he looses the weight. While he is on a strict diet, we are trying to raise the funds to pay for his surgery. We have only been able to raise $200 to date. Please see the video posted here of Titan trying to get around. He is in obvious pain. If you would like to donate to Titan's fund, please click on the donate button below

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Titan, a Gilbert Rottweiler dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rottweiler for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a Rottweiler dog from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gilbert breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Rottweiler breeders who help with Rottweiler rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.
