"This is by far the worst barbecue ribs I ever had. The amount of salt used in this recipe has got to be a joke. After six hours of grilling the only flavor that comes through is salt.
Save your money and do not waste your time on this one By the way the ribs at Famous Daves were great, but this cannot be the recipe.

The NHL is and always will be an incredibly dangerous league for its participants. Hockey is not exactly a low-contact game to begin with and obviously these guys are flying around and getting better at everything with each passing year. The NHL of today resembles that of the 1980s and '90s and even early 2000s, for example, in only the most cursory ways: There's a stick and a puck and skates but the blue lines have moved, there's a trapezoid behind the net, and the goalies' pads are smaller and also guys are just about getting killed in every damn game you watch.
How many times in this postseason have we watched a game and said, "Oh, that's something Brendan Shanahan is going to have to look at?" If it's not literally every single game so far, it's pretty damn close, because when the intensity gets ratcheted up to the levels typically observed this time of year, lots of elbows start flying around, lots of knees get taken out, and all that. It's unavoidable. Or so we'd be led to believe.
The one man who can at least start cracking down on the types of injurious behavior that these illegal hits lead to is obviously the NHL's discipline czar, Brendan Shanahan. A former player himself, with a history of both excellent production and borderline play, Shanahan was meant to lend credibility to the office of league disciplinarian after Colin Campbell was busted complaining about Marc Savard diving against his son's team. And indeed, it's a well-worn trope at this point that when Shanahan rode into town he did so with some big iron on his hip and did some serious business with it in the early days when he was trying to bring order to a largely lawless National Hockey League.
Look at this list of suspensions from his first season on the job: He was throwing out four- and five-gamers like they were nothing. By the time November started, he'd suspended 13 guys for a combined 42 regular-season games and a whole boatload in the preseason as well. Two more guys got max fines. He used to walk around with that gun loaded and guys dialed it back to some extent because, like any fearsome gunslinger, even the slightest provocation caused him to react with force that was perhaps undue given the circumstance. But if you want order, that's the price bad guys have to pay sometimes. Can't go around crying for 'em.
I've said it before, but Shanahan was effectively no longer a person who could be trusted to do his job the day Gary Bettman swooped in and dialed back the big-time 25-gamer he threw at Raffi Torres when the then-Coyote almost ended Marian Hossa's career. It became like that issue of creating a monster to defeat a monster, but then not knowing what to do with him once he's done so. They let him run without any oversight too long, and his penchant for coming down hard on guys was no longer seen as tenable. The NHL, and probably the PA as well, put a stop to that. Now, in the 2013 regular season, he only handed out 15 suspensions from mid-January to the end of April, and it sure isn't because guys are skating around respecting each other more than they did at the same time last year.
Of those 15 suspensions, just two were for five games. None were for more than that. One of the big ones was given to Patrick Kaleta who is a repeat offender, which, when compared with the 12 games dropped on James Wisniewski a year and a half prior, seems like chump change. This is especially true because Shanahan has said he was not pro-rating suspensions given the abbreviated season.
So yes, we know Shanahan has been neutered by powers greater than his own, but look what it gets us. Attempts to injure from Dustin Brown, Henrik Sedin throwing a butt-end to Logan Couture's head, an errant elbow from Dion Phaneuf, Marty Reasoner going knee-to-knee on Jussi Jokinen. All elicited no response at all from Shanahan, which seems at least somewhat inspired by the fact that these are the playoffs, and they're too important for borderline infractions to lead even to fines. The same is true of Andrew Ference, a repeat offender himself, only getting a game for the elbow on Mikhail Grabovski; he probably should have gotten more given his status, but he didn't because these games matter too much. The Abdelkader call was pretty much by-the-books no matter what some dumbass radio host in Michigan thinks, and the Gryba two-gamer entirely the result of optics rather than reason. Again, hockey is dangerous, but all it takes for quick and decisive suspensions is for blood to pool scarily in the middle of the ice.
But then again, he presumably sat there and watched the entire third period of the Ottawa/Montreal game over the weekend, in which a few hundred penalty minutes were handed out thanks to brawls, flying elbows, slashes, crosschecks and other potentially injurious plays and decided no one gets anything. Rene Bourque, a repeat offender, blatantly elbowed someone in the head. Shanahan didn't bat an eye. Why not? Who knows? The NHL Department of Player Discipline has been quiet as Phil Kessel with Zdeno Chara on the ice on the matter, despite its stated plans to occasionally reveal the reasoning behind not levying such discipline in some cases. This is one instance that cried out for it, and that there was no such explanation is pathetic.
We were all so excited for the new era of entirely transparent supplementary discipline decisions that would ostensibly replace the Wheel of Justice travesties to which we'd become so accustomed, but for someone whose job title has "player safety" right in it, we've seen some genuinely scary things happen on the ice and Shanahan sit there dumbly, as if waiting for someone else to straighten it out. Frontier justice is one thing, and in cases like when Matt Cooke fought Shawn Thornton after ending Marc Savard's career, it's warranted. But the things he's letting go in these playoffs, which would have prompted him to shoot first and ask questions later just 18 months ago, is sad if perhaps inevitable. He's said that he suspends to the injury and I think he should, insofar as plays that are more injurious should necessarily come with larger penalties. But that Cory Conacher would have to have gotten a concussion from Bourque, for example, for that elbow the other night to have resulted in anything is obviously silly. Just because it didn't leave Conacher lying in a dark room for hours at a time waiting for his headaches to go away doesn't mean that an elbow wasn't an elbow. The same is true of Reasoner almost blowing out Jokinen's knee. His ACL and MCL were fine, but the hit wasn't.
As with Campbell's ridiculous regime, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to what it is that will and will not garner a suspension any more. The next guy who loses a season or maybe even a career to a concussion on a play like the ones the league isn't suspending guys for now is on Shanahan. He had the power to change the way the league approaches these things, and he got stomped down by the system. Now he's just another ineffectual flunky, blandly reading off contrived reasons why Gryba should have had to serve two games because they needed to squeegee the ice after his hit, and doing all in his power to avoid one of his decisions actually impacting a playoff round. That's not his job; his job is to protect the players. And he's shown he has very little interest in doing that.

Dermalogica's name implies a logical relationship to dermatology, which makes it sound as if you are getting serious skin care. The subtitle on their products is even more commanding: "A Skin Care System Researched and Developed by the International Dermal Institute." But what is the International Dermal Institute, you ask? Are there any dermatologists there? Apparently not: The International Dermal Institute is a Dermalogica-owned school for aestheticians who want an education beyond what is required for their cosmetology license, and the classes are taught by aestheticians.
Does the professional atmosphere of the school associated with Dermalogica mean better products? The proof is in the pudding, and this pudding is, for the most part, just Jell-O, not chocolate mousse. A company so concerned with skin-care education should be ashamed of itself for offering so many products that damage skin with known irritants and, more egregiously, offering so many sunscreens that lack sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients. Dermalogica's education-oriented, serious-minded, and clinical positioning doesn't mesh with the majority of their products, and is on par with tobacco company executives teaching an aerobics class.
According to company history, the reason Dermalogica products came to be was that founder Jane Wurwand could not find a spa-oriented skin-care line that met her criteria. She was dismayed that so many skin-care lines aimed at the aesthetics market had products that contained alcohol, artificial colors, fragrance, mineral oil, and lanolin, ingredients that she believed had a well-documented history of problems. That's true for fragrance and alcohol (and artificial colors to a lesser extent), but mineral oil and lanolin have no documented history of causing skin problems. If anything, quite the opposite is true. Further, if Dermalogica's founders were so concerned about potentially or definitively harmful ingredients, why do their products contain so many of them? Where is the research proving that lavender oil, camphor, balm mint, arnica, ginger oil, and citrus oils are helpful for skin?

You can really smell the lavender which I liked! But, I end up returning everything I got. Only one item got a good review and everything else got a poor review. That's why I loved Paula's books. I would've saved myself $225.00 I think it was. For 4 items.
This cleanser is really good value for money one 250ml bottle lasted for over a year! It cleans really well better than the similar Olay product that Paula recommended I bought to compare. It also has a pleasant smell and as for the irritating oils if they are washed away then it wouldn't seem to be a problem.
Since I turned 30 I feel as though I have been battling dry skin/wrinkles and acne at the same time. Acne that I didn't even have as a teen. I tried everything until my hair stylist gave me a sample of this. Foams nicely, has no fragrance (to my nose), rinses clean and leaves my face neither tight and dry or oily, just a nice canvass. Saw an old boss recently who said I looked younger than when I worked for him. I'm figuring anti-aging out one product at a time, but this cleanser is a keeper.
Liked this cleanser. Gentle on eyes and foamed up very well. Had no problems with lavender & mint that review mentions. Didn't even notice those ingredients were in there as didn't smell them. Only a tiny bit goes a long way.

Come with me to the Coast 30 May 2011 | By Shamsa Mohamed
The first thing to remember when going to the coast is to leave your Nairobi fever behind. Here, everything is calm and easy; no one seems to be in a rush unlike Nairobi where people are busy as beavers, careening up and down the streets. In Mombasa, you can enjoy a walk without bumping into anyone. And because the town is not very big, you can actually get to places on your own two feet. Feeling tired? Take a matatu or a tuk-tuk. A tuk-tuk ride anywhere in town will only set you back KSH 50, while a trip across the bridge is KSH 300.
The second thing you simply must leave at home is your diet. Coastal cuisine is the food of gods. The women here really believe that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Very few women work outside the home and they go the extra mile to satisfy their husbands' appetites. Let me tell you a little story to show you what I mean.
When President Jomo Kenyatta went to Lamu, he was, not surprisingly, greeted with a treasure-trove of tasty treats. He tried a dessert called kaimati, which is fried flour and yeast, dipped in syrup. He enjoyed it so much he asked, "What tree did this fruit come from? I want it planted at State House."
But don't just take our founding father's word for it. Dig in yourself. And don't even think of going to a fast food restaurant: such a transgression should really be punishable by law. There is no shortage of restaurants in different price ranges where you can enjoy scrumptious Swahili cuisine.
Don't-miss dishes include biryani (coloured rice and thick gravy, usually prepared during celebrations), pilau (rice cooked with mutton), samaki wa kupaka (grilled fish with a coconut sauce), vitumbua (a fried, sweet bun made from rice), vibibi (a sister to vitumbua only flatter), wali wa nazi (coconut rice), ndizi za kiume (plantain cooked with coconut milk) and matobosha (a dessert especially made during Ramadan). These are my favorites but really the list is endless.
To get you started on your food odyssey, here are some restaurants in Mombasa's Old Town where you can enjoy a luscious Swahili meal:
Amoré Mia,
Savoy Cofe
Jahazi Coffee House
Island Dishes
Swahili Land Restaurant
. Prices range from between KSH 300 to KSH 500 for a meal and a juice/soda. If you fancy a barbeque, Island Barbeque is the place for you. The mishkaki and sheesh kebabs are to die for. It's open from 6pm to 11pm.
Don't worry if your tastes are more worldly. You can also enjoy Chinese, Japanese, Italian and African food in this port city. If you want to splash out, try
Thalassa Lounge
at the bridge. The place is beautiful, by the creek, with amazing décor and a cool breeze. The food is a hybrid of French cuisine and local spices. Your taste buds will thank you. The service is first class with well trained staff. You can book the upper level for private parties. Did I mention my birthday is coming up, friends? Hint, hint.
Feeling adventurous? Why not try the
Tamarind Dhow
Dinner? Savour your meal as you tour the city on a traditional Arab sailing boat. Cruise gently up the Tudor creek to the soft sound of waves, arriving at a quiet spot where the dhow moors. When you've finished eating, get down with the live band. The
in Mtwapa offers a similar boat-dinner. La Marina, also in Mtwapa, has a stunning sea view and you can also rent it for private events, like weddings and conferences.
If you've brought the children, don't worry. There are plenty of family venues like the Wild Waters Amusement Park. The children can hurtle down the many slides while you relax and wonder what to order from the restaurant's extensive menu. When the sun starts to fade, head down to Mama Ngina Drive, popularly known as the Lighthouse. You can park your car by the creek and watch the sun sink into the ocean, or peer at a ship disappearing over the horizon while you munch freshly made cassava crisps and sip madafu, the juice from a raw coconut which is known for cleansing the kidneys.
Nyali Cinemax
on Links Road has a bowling alley, pool tables, a movie theatre and a coffee shop with an assortment of pastries, juices, shakes and ice creams. You can also smoke a shisha pipe here for KSH 500. They have a range of tobaccos including apple, vanilla, strawberry and many others. Shisha has become very popular in Mombasa and there are many places to get it.
If Mombasa is sleepy during the day, when night falls, it's a different story. Check out clubs like
Tembo Disco
, Lambada,
Il Covo
Florida 2000
. My personal favourite is Bellevista in Ganjoni. The crowd is young and enthusiastic. I danced the night away and just when I needed a boost in the wee hours, out came the nyama choma. What more could a girl ask for?
To chill out after a big night of dancing, head to the South Coast. The beaches here are the most beautiful in the area and the vibe is determinedly relaxed. Accommodation is mainly in large five-star hotels, and there are a few medium-sized cottages. There are plenty of restaurant and bars, including the renowned
Full Moon Night Club and Lounge
, which throws marvellous parties.
After rediscovering Mombasa and the coast, I headed to Lamu. There is a Swahili saying that goes Mombasa raha, Lamu tamu. It means Mombasa is fun, Lamu is sweet. And like most sayings, it's no lie. I travelled by bus from Mombasa to Makowe, a six-hour journey, and then hopped on a speedboat for the 30-minute trip to Lamu Island, home of our most famous cultural festival. The island is very similar to Zanzibar and for a minute, I thought I had taken the wrong bus. But Lamu has its own charm and soon I was wandering along the only two streets in town: the sea front and Kenyatta Avenue. You cannot get lost in Lamu.
Because there are no roads, there are no cars. As I walked, I heard some men yell out, "Taxi, taxi!" I turned and, to my surprise, saw donkeys plodding behind me. I burst out laughing but maybe the joke was on me as I was too scared to take a ride. Lamu is the heartland of Swahili culture and so it is advisable to dress decently in order not to offend people. In town there is only one bar, but if you fancy a beer or something even stronger head to hotels like
Lamu Palace
Lamu House
. Lamu House is unique, and stepping inside feels like entering Caesar's Palace. The individual cottages have pools and these resemble ancient Roman bathhouses. Shella Beach is just a 15-minute boat ride from Lamu and if you are fit, you can walk. It's worth the effort: the beach is outstanding with cream-brown sand and many beautiful hotels in the area.
After Lamu, I headed to Kenya's little Italy – Malindi, my favourite place on the coast. Just being here makes me happy: I imagine I am in Venice, the most beautiful place in the world in my opinion. At the
Coastal Paradise Inn
you can get bed-and-breakfast in spacious cottages with a pool for only KSH 2,000. There are loads of bars and restaurants, including the
Karen Blixen Coffee House
, Fermento, Stardust,
Melting Pot
and Gelatti Ice Cream Parlour.
Nightlife here starts kicking after midnight: if you go to a club any earlier, you will be the only one there but the bar staff will keep you company. Stardust is my top venue: there is the disco (Stardust), a lounge (Vintage) and a restaurant (Putipu). Vintage is awesome with unique all-white décor and I have yet to see a more beautiful lounge in Kenya. You feel like you are in an exclusive celeb venue. Putipu serves a pizza that could make angels smile. And check out
, a bar and restaurant by the beach which hosts the legendary Malindi beach parties.
If you are looking for culture, there are several interesting ruins and forts along the coast, including Mombasa's
Fort Jesus
, the
Gede ruins
, the
Vasco da Gama Pillar
Lamu Museum
, the Lamu Donkey Sanctuary and the
Takwa ruins
. These are great places to visit if you want to appreciate how far we have come since colonization. Whether on vacation to relax or to explore, the coast will never disappoint.
As the Swahili saying goes, mwenda tezi na omo, marejeo ni ngamani — he who goes to the quarterdeck and forecastle will return to the hold eventually. Usually this saying is used to warn people not to forget where they're from. In my case, it rings particularly true: I enjoyed my return home and developed a new respect and great appreciation for my native soil. Najivunia kuwa mpwani: I am proud to be from the Coast.

If there's one authentic monarch of the Florida wilderness, it's the black bear. Regal and reclusive, it once roamed freely in the Southeast (including the wild forests of Sarasota), fearing nothing but fire, and rivaled only by other bears. But today, Florida's few surviving black bears are mostly found in the Big Cypress Swamp and the Ocala National Forest.
They're solitary by nature and wide-ranging, traveling up to 20 miles a night in search of food. Not that they're picky eaters; they'll consume just about anything that moves, and many things that don't-including roadkill, cabbage palm hearts, eggs, honey, ants, acorns and armadillos.
The black bear is the largest native land mammal in Florida, and the most powerful. But it's secretive and shy, and rarely seen by humans. It lives alone, in the heart of the wilderness, wandering like a banished king.

Elliott set for Shakers debut
Elliott, who recently turned 20, made his first-team debut for Leeds in February 2007 and could make his debut at Vale Park as the Shakers bid to end a five-match run without scoring a goal. Knill is boosted by the return to full fitness of young trio David Buchanan, Michael Jones and Danny Racchi. Ben Futcher should also feature despite suffering with concussion following a clash of heads in training last week, while Damien Allen is also close to a return.

Six seek Lockport board of education seats
BY: Rikki Cason | May 16, 2013
Six are looking to become board of education members for the Lockport City School District. Three seats are open for the three-year terms to begin July 1.
Tuesday, candidates participated in a forum, where each told the public why they would make a good board member.
Incumbents Diane Phelps, Edward Sandell and Jon Williams are seeking re-election.
Williams is looking to serve his third term on the board. He currently serves as board secretary.
He has three children, two who currently attend Lockport and one that graduated.
"We're very proud of this district in terms of the education our children are receiving," said Williams.
As a professor in the communication program at NCCC, Williams said he sees the result of school districts from all around Western New York.
"The Lockport kids do well at the college level," he said. "They are well prepared. I would like to see that continue."
Over the past six years, Williams believes he has helped to maintain quality programs at fiscally responsible levels.
"The finances are tough," he said. "State aid goes down and we are expected to do more with less and less. I think we've done that very well."
He said facilities have been updated and they are working to integrate more technology, so students are prepared when they graduate.
"I'd like the opportunity to continue the fight and continue to provide the education our kids deserve," said Williams.
Phelps is seeking her second term on the board. She was a write-in candidate three years ago.
"I am about kids," said Phelps. "I am about community. I am about service and I am about excellence in education."
Phelps described her self as a fiscal conservative that thinks outside the box.
She said she has a vision for doing things in a "non-traditional manner, to funnel the resources more directly to the children."
Phelps is a 25 year resident of Lockport. Her two children have gone through the district.
Phelps is looking forward to finishing what she began in her first term and promoting excellence in this school district.
"Sometimes my views may not be popular," said Phelps. "It's all about the kids."
Phelps is the district's liaison for the New York State School Boards Association.
Sandell is vying for his third term on the board. He is currently the chair of the policy committee, along with being the representative for the Niagara Orleans School Board Association and sits on the facilities committee. He also has been a member of the audit committee.
Sandell has two children that graduated from Lockport.
While on the board, Sandell believes they have worked to provide quality education while being fiscally responsible to the taxpayer.
"That is always in play and something we try to balance," he said.
Working as a Delphi engineer manager, Sandell said he has learned to be a team player and how to manage fiscally responsible actions.
Looking to return to the board is Marietta Schrader.
Schrader was a board of education member from 1999 to 2011. While on the board she served as secretary, vice president and during her last term she served as president.
"I have chosen to run again because I believe I can provide positive direction during very difficult economic times," she said.
Schrader was born and raised in Lockport. She had two sons attend Lockport and she is a nurse practitioner.
"I believe in fair and balanced negotiations that are fiscally prudent and manageable, that are fair to the tax payers of Lockport as well as to the staff," said Schrader.
Being apart of the development of 12 budgets, she said she understands the time and commitment it takes to be a board member.
Todd McNall is seeking his first term.
He is a Lockport graduate and has two children.
"I feel providing our children with quality education will have a positive effect on our futures," said McNall.
He has worked at the GM engine facility in Tonawanda for 16 years. He was also an elected United Auto Workers official for 14 years.
This experience, he believes, will help him work hands on as a board member.
"I believe I can be an asset to the Lockport school board," said McNall. "We must provide our children the best education possible and as a board we must work together as a team, if possible. I want to be part of the decision making process."
Also seeking his first term is Randall Parker.
Parker has been a City of Lockport firefighter for 26 years, where he has served as union president and vice president. In that role, he has done several contract negotiations between the city and the fire department and believes those negotiating skill will help him on the board.
Parker is the father of three kids that graduated from Lockport. As a parent, he was involved in his children's education.
"I feel strongly about continuing a superior education system for all of Lockport children," said Parker.
He decided to run because he became concerned over decreases in enrollment, the closing of schools and other people saying they were moving out of the district because they did not want their kids to go to Lockport schools.
"I would like to work with administration, teachers and parents to find new and creative ways to make our school district a place where parents continue to be proud of sending their children," he said.
Voting will take place from noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday. Those living in the First Ward vote at Washington Hunt, Second Ward at the Board of Education building, Third Ward at Anna Merritt, Fourth Ward at Charles Upson and Fifth Ward at Roy B. Kelley.
Those living in the Towns of Lockport, Cambria and Pendleton vote at the high school.

Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur Live Streaming English Premiership 9/12/2012
Get ready to watch Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur live stream streaming online on 9/12/2012. The live online stream commentary and live online radio broadcast English Premiership match between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park will be a struggle for the Toffees to try to regain their early season spark after a recent dip in form which has seen them slide down the table. If it is of any consolation to Everton, they remain unbeaten at home coming into this live English Premiership online streaming football game against Tottenham Hotspur and will remain difficult to break down and beat by Spurs. Toffees manager David Moyes hinted though that he is worried about the threat posed by Gareth Bale in this live streaming commentary and live online TV telecast English Premiership match between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur and the home side could end up spending most of the game trying to contain the Spurs winger, rather than playing on their strengths and attacking an admittedly shaky Spurs defence. The Toffees attack has been blunted in recent games due to the injuries suffered by Belgian forward Kevin Mirallas. Moyes admitted that Everton have missed Mirallas' qualities upfront and the 25-year-old will again miss out against Tottenham Hotspur, although the Blues are careful not to rush the striker back. With Mirallas in the team, Everton would have been a more potent attacking force, as they were before his absence after recording the most number of shots at goal per game than any other team in Europe. With Spurs' defence so suspect this season under Andre Villas Boas, Everton would have had a higher chance of scoring goals had Mirallas been available. Unfortunately, they do not and will have to do with trying to play Nikica Jelavic back to form, as the Croatian striker has struggled with form this season. Jelavic has only scored one goal since October and the likes of Stephen Pienaar will have to try to supply the Croatian international with more chances in order to help him regain confidence. Pienaar's understanding down the flanks with Leighton Baines will be another factor in Everton's favour as they look to derail Tottenham Hotspur's fourth place challenge.
Watch as Tottenham Hotspur try to make it four wins in a row in all competitions in this live commentary and live streaming radio broadcast English Premiership match between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur as Spurs build another one of their streaks. Tottenham Hotspur appeared to be thrown into criss again before this English Premiership live online streaming soccer game against Everton when they were beaten by Arsenal in the north London derby. However, Spurs have fought back bravely since that defeat in this live stream commentary and live streaming online TV telecast English Premiership match between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur by notching three wins in six days in both the league and Europe and are now closing in on fourth place again. The key for Villas Boas is to try to make the winning or unbeaten streaks last longer and much of that ability rests on having Gareth Bale fit and ready for every game. Unfortunately, the pacy Welsh winger suffered another hamstring injury in midweek and is likely to miss the trip to Everton, leaving Spurs without their deadliest attacking threat. Jermain Defoe continues to score the goals easily but without Bale, the striker will have one less supply line for him to chase the league's Golden Boot. Aaron Lennon will have to make up for Bale's absence but the England winger is often inconsistent and has not been able to match his early heady heights of his career. The Spurs midfield will also need to find a way to contain Everton's powerful midfielder Marouane Fellaini, who is the Blues' playmaker without doubt this season. The Belgian's threat in the air and physical presence will wreck havoc in Spurs' defence especially with William Gallas all over the place recently.
The English Premiership online stream game Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur will be shown on many of the best major satellite TV and telecast networks, with live streaming online on Internet PCs, sopcast, streamtorrent, torrentstream, flash and online channels also available. Do not miss out on the games with the best and most reliable broadcasters and stations from the opening kickoff.

Fire Kurt Schottenheimer NOW!!!!
The secondary of the Green Bay Packers had been hideous at best this year. It is attributed to the hiring of secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer. He was garbage back when he coached DBs here last time and now that he is back, the secondary looks like garbage. Either he isn't teaching it so that the players can understand it, or he is oblivious to is all and isn't making adjustments to make sure everyone is on the same page. The only reason he is still coaching is because Mike McCarthy feels he owes it to him and that they are friends. Sometimes, in coaching, you have to look beyond friendship and do what is best for the team and that is to get rid of Schottenheimer. He NEEDS to get fired now!!!

As you may know, I'm a photographer for Bloom! Magazine (is that why I promote it so? quite possibly). And I totally love it. For about an eternity, I've been wanting to get to know the rest of the staff at Bloom! better - because they're so very awesome! - and at the beginning of the year, KyAnn (the ah-mazing and oh-so-sweet gal in charge of the magazine) and I started to plan a little blog hop for the Bloom! staff girls. I came up with questions and rules and KyAnn added her own ideas...it's been lots of fun. You can read the post here and read other staff members' answers there, too.
Moving along, here are my answers. To my very own questions. They're basic...I know. But the main purpose of this post is for the lovely staff gals to get to know me better. And my readers might just get to know me a little better, too.
1. Your blogging name, age/birthday (if you're allowed to reveal it on blogger), location (as detailed as allowed) and Bloom! staff position:
Hannah. You totally didn't know that, right?
I'm 13. Will be 14 on April 24th. Yep, that's Easter! I'm excited.
I live in St. Louis, MO. (Come visit me if you're in the area, okay?)
+ I'm a Photographer on Staff 1.
2. How many siblings do you have and what are their names/ages?
I have three: CJ (11) Megan (8) and Stephen (3). They inspire and annoy me daily. I love them.
3. How are you educated (homeschool, private school, public school, etc)?
Always been homeschooled. It's something I love so much, and will definitely do with my own kiddos some day.
4. What denomination of Christian are you? What are your personal Christian beliefs, in a nutshell?
I'm a Roman Catholic. I could write you a book here, but (you know, in a nutshell...) everything I believe is summed up in the Apostles' Creed. Click on the link to read it for yourself. And if you'd like to learn more or have a question, I'd be thrilled if you emailed me.
5.What are some of your hobbies - such as sports, musical instruments, artistic talents, etc.
I'm a photographer. And a dancer (ballet and tap). I play violin, though I'm not extremely serious about it. I adore acting/musical theatre. Right now, I'm working on Annie...and I recently performed in one of my favorite plays yet, Pride and Prejudice. Eep - so fun!
If traveling counts as a hobby (does it? it should), then I'd throw that in there too...though I don't get to go out of town nearly as much as I'd like to, I love it when I can! And photographing seriously everything when you're traveling is half the fun of it.
6. Describe your personality in a few sentences:
Ohh, I'm horrible at questions like this. But I'll try and paint you an accurate picture.
When you first meet me, I'm pretty quiet. In fact, many conversations I have start out with awkward silences, but then progress into me talking and laughing far too much. I laugh. A lot. Seriously, I can find a reason to laugh in nearly any situation, and I think my laughter is contagious because I've gotten many a stony-faced person to crack a smile.
I'm not really an easy-going person (contrary to what most people think when they hear me laughing) and my temper can get the better of me. But I'm working on it! ;-) It doesn't take a ton to make me cry - be it from a movie or book or a real-life situation. I love passionately, and I dream incessantly. I resemble Anne Shirley way too much. Being alone gives me energy, and I love spending quiet mornings with my Bible, jounal, and God (not that that happens a ton - heh!). But I love being around people so that I can burn the energy off!
Yep, so there you have it. And, a few sentences? Bah!
7. Do you consider yourself more of a girly-girl or a tomboy? Or somewhere in between?
I'm very much a girl - lover of dresses, fun shoes, chic flicks (along with other movies, I promise!) flowers in my hair. But, "girly-girl"? I really can't bring myself to call it that. Getting messy is fun and blue outshines pink by lots. So, somewhere in between. (Not that pink is necessarily a girl's color any longer, with all the guys ya see sporting it. I kind of enjoyed it back when us gals had the color to ourselves. But anyways.)
8. Picture yourself ten years from now. What will you be doing, where will you be living, etc?
Let's see...I'd be about 24, right? Well, hopefully, I'd have a successful, up-and-running wedding photography business (yay!). And I very much wish that by that time I will have found the man that God wants me to spend my forever with. Where will I be living? My first thought is, Paris or London or Rome! But seriously, as long as I'm doing lots a traveling, I'd be more than happy to be in St. Louis. Or maybe California. Ha.
9. What is some of your favorite books? Favorite movies? Favorite foods?
books - some of my favorite authors are J.K. Rowling, Shannon Hale, Lois Lowry, Richard Peck, Jane Austen, C.S. Louis...and, well, the list goes on. ;)
movies - Truth to be told, I'm a terrible procrastinator when it comes to watching movies. My friend Kathleen is continually listing all of the movies I need to see and the list is getting longer and longer. But, let's see...Pride and Prejudice (newer version), Chronicles of Narnia (all of them), Tangled, Enchanted, Ballet Shoes, Pirates of the Caribbean (well, parts of them, at least), Harry Potter (I was especially impressed with the last one...apparently it is possible for a movie to stick to the book. hmm.)...and, once again, I'm probably forgetting something.
foods - call me crazy, but I love sushi. Lots. And pretty much anything sugary. Hee hee!
10. What got you interested in becoming a part of Bloom?
KyAnn had started to follow my blog over the summer, and she mentioned the website in a comment. At the time, I'd just been accepted into another new Christian girl's magazine, but for some reason or another, it never started running. So, at the last minute, I applied for staff photographer...and I am so, so blessed and happy that I did. The idea of the magazine really interested me, and the being a part of it just got me excited.
11. What's one way - or more - that you've been blessed, inspired, and/or challenged through becoming a part of Bloom?
It's so much fun and a blessing to read the finished magazine and think "I was a part of this!" And I love getting to know KyAnn and the staff better through email and other things...like this! It's challenged me to think outside the box for a photography assignment, and having to get it done by a deadline is very, very good for me. ;-)
12. What is your favorite thing about Bloom! as well as one thing you would like to see improved behind-the-scenes?
As I mentioned above, viewing the finished magazine is so much fun - it's so much fun to see how everything comes together. I also love going out and shooting my photography assignment and getting The Shot. Something to improve? I'm so bad at this (for the record, Kyann came up with this one)....get back to me in a bit, would ya?
13. What brings you inspiration (for life in general - not specifically Bloom!)?
I've been thinking about this question for several minutes now, writing and deleting my answers. All I can come up with is that I find inspiration in so many places - little details, my siblings, blogging, journaling, being outside, prayer. In the loud and the quiet, in the outwardly beautiful and the hidden beauty of things we usually forget about.
14. If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go? Who would you take with you and how long would you stay?
Hmmm...I would love to go visit France right now. Paris kinda makes me swoon. I would take a few besties from co-op...or maybe some sweet blogging friends who I'd love to meet in real life.
15. What's your favorite dessert/treat?
Cheesecake. And (almost) anything from Starbucks.
16. Coffee, tea, or soda?
Coffee. (Did you see that coming after my answer to that last question?)
17. What's your favorite color combination? Or combinations? ;-)
I answered this already in my giveaway post (which you may just want to check out - hurry, because it ends Tuesday!) but I'm obsessed with pretty much anything and the colour grey. And, the British spellings? It's way cooler like that.
18. What's your favorite time of year? What about least favorite?
With the exception of a crazy amount of school to do, I love autumn. The weather, the colors, the smells, everything. As for least favorite, I'd have to say January/February. The thrill of cold weather and snow is getting old, nothing much is happening, and catching a cold is nearly imperitive to make it all complete. Ugh.
19. Would you rather have one very close best friend or a group of close friends?
As it is, I have a group of about six close friends at co-op (and our co-op is small, so basically these girls are the ones closest to my age, but we still get along perfectly). We hang out in smaller groups, together, with others...but really, these girls are all my bestest friends and I love every chance I can spend with them. I love the idea of having one super-duper close friend...it's just never happened to me. But I'm so not complaining.
20. Who is a role model for you in your life today (could be your mom, grandma, family friend, celebrity, etc.)?
These questions usually have me tongue-tied. Or keyboard-tied? Whatever. I'm not the type of person to have just one role model in life. It's more like I'm picking out amazing qualities from the many people who have blessed my life and, without really thinking, shaping the ideal person I want to be. So I truly don't have an answer for this question!
21. Share a favorite quote or Bible verse. Why is it your favorite?
I have so many favorites, but I love Philipians 4:8...
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.This verse often starts running through my mind as I'm seeing or watching something I don't feel comfortable with...and thinking of it usually gives me the courage I need to turn away. Is is true, honest, just, pure, lovely? If not...as a Child of God, I'm far too good for it. We all are.
22. What is one thing that you've been trying to accomplish in 2011?
I'm horrible with New Year's Resolutions. Really I am. I did come up with some at the beginning of the year which I posted...and maybe practiced for about a week. One goal of mine that actually happened was to start keeping a journal again, and now, although I may not write every day, or even every week, it's so good to be doing it again.
23. What is one way (or more!) that you are trying to strengthen your relationship with Jesus right now?
Recently I've been trying to focus on the importance of prayer in my life...just talking to Jesus at various times throughout the day. It's so incredibly refreshing, and a reminder to myself that He's constantly, continually, always with me.
Well, that's that! I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to come up with my answers, everyone...I've seriously been working on it every chance I've gotten all week long. Eep.
And Bloom! Staff friends, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you stay and explore for a bit. ;)
Also, my giveaway ends Tuesday...don't forget to enter if you haven't!
with love,
--hannah m.

It's one of the most ignored items in the game for a number of reasons:
Anarchy Proxy
I come on the forums to complain about an item, but I take no time to read about s3 changes.
Mostly I'd just say add a unique unique passive to it. Mercury Treads have tenacity and movement speed 2, all the other tenacity items just have tenacity. Which is unexciting considering Mercury Treads have 2, and most finished items have an appealing unique as well. A unique active could work as well. I like your idea of a Tenacity aura, sounds at least somewhat useful that way.
It is actually one of the most cost efficient items in the game.
but i like it on my singed D:
A bunch of things ARE being reworked, but nothing about Miracle has been mentioned. That said, I would not be surprised if changes to Miracle were on the table, depending on how comprehensive the changes are! Good side: No reason not to try engaging the devs working on this with a conversation about it. Bad side: Last I heard, Xypherous was heading the item rework, and he has been AWOL for some time now, presumably buried under it, so your chances of engaging him here are slim at best.
what is that item? never heard of it never ever saw anyone buy it or use it, must not exist.

March 07, 2012
Rick Santorum's impressive Super Tuesday showing—he won Tennessee, Oklahoma, and North Dakota, and lost Ohio by only a hair—compels political commentators to pretend that the nomination may still be up for grabs (when in fact the nominee will still almost certainly be Mitt Romney). That won't last.
Does Romney Have a 'Southern Problem'?
March 07, 2012
After just barely pulling out a win in Ohio, Mitt Romney has "won Super Tuesday" by most media accounts. But even with his successes (wins in Virginia, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Idaho, and a decent shot in Alaska), you'll likely hear some people echo a recent claim by Newt Gingrich: that Romney can't be confident of the nomination if he can't win anywhere in the South. This concern didn't suddenly present itself: Mitt's first real stumble in the race, of course, was in South Carolina, where he got righteously stomped by Newt.
The Unbearable Weakness of Mitt Romney
March 06, 2012
I'll leave it to others to make the general pronouncements about how Mitt Romney's middling performance Tuesday night against deeply flawed and overmatched opponents showed yet again what an astonishingly weak frontrunner he is. Instead, I want to focus in on a geographic irony that emerged more clearly Tuesday night than it has in the earlier primaries. Namely, that Romney does well in the places where Barack Obama does well, and he does poorly in the places where Obama does poorly.
Why Super Tuesday Won't Deliver a Knockout Blow
March 05, 2012
This year's Super Tuesday will be "super" in the most obvious way: Ten states with a total of 437 delegates will make their decisions on the same day. What will be the upshot of all these contests? Below, a guide to what is likely to happen and how to interpret the results: Super Tuesday won't prove decisive. This is true for two reasons. First, all ten states are using some variant of a proportional system to award delegates. Some are looking to statewide vote totals, while others focus on the results within congressional districts.
Santorum and the Idiocy of Home Schooling
March 03, 2012
No sooner had Mitt Romney triumphed in the Michigan primary than Rick Santorum edged into his victory by succeeding in winning an equal number of delegates. Romney polled 3 percent higher than Santorum in the popular vote. But that meant nothing in the arcana of counting at the polls that will be translated into 15 delegates each at the Tampa convention in August.
Nevada Gets a Plan for a Better Economy
February 09, 2012
Washington is paralyzed by politics and debt, but states and regions are moving to renew the drifting U.S. economy themselves.
Meet the Obama Administration's Office For Antagonizing Environmental Activists
January 03, 2012
When President Obama took office, most environmental activists assumed that their cause would still meet resistance in Washington DC—they just assumed it would be located in Congress. But according to activists, a chief opponent of environmental causes has turned out to be within the White House itself: The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). A division of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), OIRA has always had the power to review the economic impact of virtually any new federal regulation.
'Bottom Up' Economic Development Gains Traction
November 21, 2011
States across the nation are increasingly recognizing the crucial role that regions and metropolitan areas play in their economies. Just last week, Nevada leaders nodded their heads a lot during the release of a big report there about how states should "aid and abet" regional efforts to develop smart sector and cluster strategies to boost growth. Moreover, in just the last year no less than three states--Colorado, New York, and Tennessee--have each launched well-considered and ambitious "bottom-up" economic development strategies that aim to place regions at the center of their economic develo
Obama's Shrewd NCLB Strategy
September 28, 2011
[Guest post by Simon van Zuylen-Wood] You can learn a lot about a party from the guest list. Last Friday, when President Obama announced his plan to offer states reprieve from No Child Left Behind's performance targets (failing to meet the targets can trigger harsh sanctions for schools), he was introduced by Republican Governor Bill Haslam of Tennessee and joined onstage by Independent Governor Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island.
Obama's Plan a Chance to Get Strategic on Infrastructure
September 09, 2011
The focus on infrastructure in President Obama's jobs speech was much-anticipated and necessary. While much the attention is on increasing funding for fixing roads and bridges, the president also reiterated the call to improve the way the federal government invests in infrastructure. ("No more earmarks. No more boondoggles. No more bridges to nowhere.") He also called for the kind of transformative infrastructure investments that made the U.S. an economic superpower.

Adventurous family journeys into Martian time
For one family, an exotic summer getaway means living on Mars. Martian time, that is. Since the landing of NASA's newest Mars rover, flight...
The Associated Press
LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. — For one family, an exotic summer getaway means living on Mars.
Martian time, that is.
Since the landing of NASA's newest Mars rover, flight director David Oh's family has taken the unusual step of tagging along as he leaves Earth time behind and syncs his body clock with the red planet.
Every mission to Mars, a small army of scientists and engineers reports to duty on "Mars time" for the first three months. But it's almost unheard of for an entire family to flip their orderly lives upside down, shifting to what amounts to a time-zone change every day.
Intrigued about abiding by extraterrestrial time, Oh's wife, Bryn, could not pass up the chance to take their kids — 13-year-old Braden, 10-year-old Ashlyn and 8-year-old Devyn — on a Martian adventure from their home near the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory where the Curiosity rover was built.
"We all feel a little sleepy, a little jet-lagged all day long, but everyone is doing great," Bryn Oh said, two weeks into the experiment.
Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours — the definition of a day. Neighbor Mars spins more lazily. Days there — known as sols — last 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than on Earth. The difference may not seem like much each day, but it adds up.
To stay in lock step, nearly 800 people on the $2.5 billion project have surrendered to the Martian cycle of light and dark. In the simplest sense, each day slides forward 40 minutes. That results in wacky work, sleep and eating schedules. Many say it feels like perpetual jet lag.
Days before Curiosity's Aug. 5 touchdown, the Oh children stayed up until 11:30 p.m. and slept in until 10 a.m. In the beginning, it wasn't much different from a typical day on summer vacation. As the days wore on, they stayed up later and later, waking up in the afternoon and evening.
One day last week, the family ate a 3 p.m. breakfast, 8 p.m. lunch, 2:30 a.m. dinner and 5 a.m. dessert before heading off to bed.
Their bedroom windows are covered with aluminum foil or cloth to keep out light so they can sleep when the sun is out. In the hallway, a handmade calendar keeps track of the days, and schedules are written on an oversized mirror. A digital clock in the master bedroom is set to Mars time.
Bryn Oh keeps a meticulous spreadsheet updated with her husband's work hours and the family's activities. They wear a wireless device that monitors their steps, calories burned and sleep patterns.
When David Oh tells co-workers on Mars time and friends on Earth time about the switch: "Some of them think it's really cool to have the kids along. Some who worked on other Mars missions have said, 'You're crazy.' "
Being night owls has its perks: Braden, Ashlyn and Devyn saw their first shooting star. The family went on night hikes in the hills around the neighborhood. They saw a midnight screening of a zombie film and then went bowling.
One night, Bryn Oh took the children biking in an empty parking lot. The youngest shed his training wheels and, for the first time, pedaled around.
Of the three, Ashlyn has the most difficulty sticking to the Mars rhythm. She tends to wake up too early and balks at naps.
"It's awesome, but it's tiring," she said.
Braden thrives on the weird hours. What teenager doesn't like staying up as late as possible and having frozen yogurt at midnight? He started a blog detailing the family's experiences.
Earthly sacrifices were made. The family traded a real vacation for a glorified staycation. Dental appointments, harp lessons and play dates were scheduled around when the kids were awake, which was a moving target every day.
Bryn Oh said it's easy to lose track of what day it is. A simple question like "What time is it?" is difficult to answer. Do you mean Earth time? Curiosity time? The time that their bodies think they're on?
For the mission workers, the schedule is more grueling than in the past. Their work hours tend to whiplash around, depending on when orbiting spacecraft fly over the rover landing site to relay signals to Earth. One shift sends up commands spelling out what Curiosity will do for the day; another pores over the pictures beamed back.
To cope, workers talk as if they're on Mars, greeting each other with "Good morning" even though it might be dark outside. Cots are available for siestas. There's also free ice cream — "a little pick-me-up in the middle of the night," said mission manager Mike Watkins.
Watkins said it's tough for anyone to stray from Earth time, let alone a family.
"It's something they're going to remember the rest of their lives," Watkins said.
The family recently reached a milestone: staying up through sunrise and then sleeping during the day.
And just as the children get used to Mars time, they'll have to reboot later this month when they revert to their terrestrial ways in time for the start of school.

We're still agonizing over this mattress purchase. It seems that my husband and I might need different types of mattresses.

I've tried mattresses in the stores. If we go with an innerspring, I'm wondering about the Sealy PP Level 11 or 13 plush or a Stearns and Foster plush. What factors would help us decide between Sealy and S&F? We also want to minimize the body impressions, as that has been a significant problem with our current tight-top PP. My husband is easy to please, but I don't want to get something that will be uncomfortable for him or bad for his back. Thank you for your help!
Hi Mary. You're right. You have different needs. Given the circumstances, it's not unreasonable to consider separate bedrooms. Even if you go with a king that'll work for him...by the time you add the topper(s) you need to address your conditions, the mattress will be too soft for him. And if you just got twin toppers for your half, you won't be happy with the look of the bed. In such a case, the only compromise is in how much pain each of you is willing to endure so that you can sleep together. there's alot to be said for having an entire queen size mattress...all to yourself.

So we just got back from our fabulous trip and stayed in a 2BR at BLT. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the accomodations. Beautifully appointed, spacious, great access to the MK, good counter service options, etc. We typically stay in a 2BR at the Boardwalk Villas and we love the easy access to Epcot and DHS, but we switched this time to try something different and to be closer to MK for the two little ones.
I was a bit surprised by the bus transportation to both AK and DHS. We did not make it to DTD, but I heard others at the CR/BLT saying that the waits were very long. It took us 90 minutes to get back from DHS one night and we had only missed one bus. Anyone know if this is typical of the bus service at monorail resorts or did we just have a bit of bad luck?
I really love BWV...the lobby, the grounds, all the activity, etc., but boy did I love that BLT room. It had an extra full bathroom and an actual laundry room. Do you think it would be too much to ask to drop the BLT room layout over at the BWV? :-D
Let me know what you think.

Rebecca Lomnicky and David Brewer each have spent copious amounts of time delving into the traditions of their respective instruments, the Scottish fiddle and bagpipes, living and studying in the highlands of Scotland, and have forged their duo in the spirit of merging these two similar but very different worlds to create a new seamless sound which is both kinetic, and full of passion.
David Brewer is a multi-instrumentalist who has toured with the Scottish super-group The Old Blind Dogs, and with Molly's Revenge across the US, the UK, Canada, China, Australia, has been a special guest of the six-time Grammy winning group The Chieftains, and was a key musician for the soundtrack of the PBS documentary, "Andrew Jackson, Good, Evil, and the Presidency." David accompanies Rebecca's award winning fiddling on guitar, the Irish penny-whistle, bodhran frame-drum, but primarily the Scottish bagpipes.
Rebecca Lomnicky began playing classical violin and piano at age five, discovered Scottish fiddle music a few short years later, and in 2005 won the Junior Division of the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Competition.
In 2009, Rebecca won the 20th annual Glenfiddich International Scottish Fiddle Championship held at Blair Castle, Blair Atholl, Scotland. The invitation-only championship - seen as the Grammys of the fiddling world- is widely regarded as the most prestigious in Scottish fiddle.
She has performed in Scotland, Ireland, Italy, China, and across the US, has been featured on the BBC radio show, Take the Floor, and in 2009, recorded her second CD, Inspired, with David Brewer.
Presently, Rebecca is studying music and anthropology at Cornell University and the University of Edinburgh, and the duo tours the Celtic festival circuit between semesters. For more information, visit www.davidbrewermusic.com, www.rebeccalomnicky.com.

Sometimes, you come across a story that seems so unimaginable that your heart skips a beat, you get goosebumps and you immediately lose your appetite. This is one of those stories.
From Chris Mortensen on ESPN Radio via ProFootballTalk:
"I can tell you unequivocally that if you talk to John Elway and John Fox," Mortensen said, "they will tell you emphatically that Brady Quinn is absolutely in the mix in terms of the competition for the starting job. They are not handing it to Tim Tebow. They are not handing it to Kyle Orton. They may have a depth chart to start out, but I know in communicating and speaking to both men that Brady Quinn is not forgotten."
They will tell you emphatically. Of course that's what they'll do — they don't want to simply give up on the former college star, the guy who the previous Denver regime traded current Madden cover boy Peyton Hillis for. The Broncos will obviously do everything possible to light a fire under Quinn while his career is still distantly salvageable.
But realistically, the horribly inaccurate Quinn has no chance to win the Week 1 starting job. He'd have to completely revitalize his game and Tebow would have to fall pretty hard. In my mind, Tebow will start so long as he's healthy.
I don't think this is about increasing Quinn's trade value, because he currently has no trade value, and stating that he has a shot at the starting job doesn't change things enough to make him a trade-worthy commodity.
No, with Kyle Orton likely to be traded, the Broncos want to know that Quinn can perform at a respectable level if Tebow goes down or the excrement hits the fan at some point down the line. This is a subtle message.

A guest blog from Golearnto- who specialise in cooking holiday experiences. They work with a number of different chefs and have chosen a French menu.
French cuisine is great for providing plenty of wow factor at a dinner party to impress, but this menu will hopefully avoid the hassle of spending too much time in the kitchen as lots of the preparation can be done in advance, leaving you more time at the table. This dinner serves 6 – or 4 hungry people!
Potage de deux poivrons (Red and Yellow Pepper Soup)
Main Course
This starter is a simple soup but the colours and flavours really come into their own in the presentatio. The key is to keep the different colour peppers separate when making the soupand how you combine them in the bowl is up to you!
The main course needs to be prepared a day or two in advance to allow everything to soak up all the delicious flavours, but it's worth the effort and the end result will be something really tasty. Use a large deep pot and cook slowly for a delicious rich French casserole.
Chocolate mousse uses few ingredients but the way it's made is the key to its success. Tips for a good mousse: Use really fresh top quality free-range eggs. Never over-heat chocolate as it will 'seize' i.e. split and turn grainy. When whisking the whites, make sure that all the equipment is spotlessly clean and make sure that absolutely no yolk finds its way into the whites. When combining the chocolate and meringue use a large sharp-edged metal spoon as this helps with the 'cut and fold' technique. A wooden spoon will bash out all the air you've taken so much trouble to retain.
We are on week 21 of 52 in our years challenge to find the best dinner party menus. Have you got a formula for success you can share with us?
