Work and plays
Seth Renne has portrayed everyone from a street urchin to the leading man's best friend to the Evil Queen in a twisted version of "Snow White," and he's performed in every kind of venue from school cafeteria to community theater to professional stage.
"It's nice to get a paycheck," said Renne, who now does both paid and volunteer theater in Portland and other parts of the Willamette Valley. "But I don't do it for that. I do it because I love it."
It was love, not money, that brought the Yamhill County native back to McMinnville this summer. He's been rehearsing for Gallery Theater's "Little Shop of Horrors," in which he plays Seymour, the flower shop employee who discovers a very unique plant.
"I've wanted to play Seymour," he said.
He'll make his debut in the part when the show opens Sept. 13 at Gallery, located at Second and Ford in downtown McMinnville. The musical will run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 5.
Seymour is one of Renne's dream roles, along with Javert from "Les Miserables."
"Of course, you could probably name any show and there'd be something in it I'd want to play," he said.
Renne, 30, fell in love with theater when he did his very first play as a third-grader in Newberg.
His elementary school teacher, Janet Haugen, was the wife of the George Fox University drama director. When her husband needed some children for a show, she suggested Renne try out.
"Since then, not a year went by without me doing theater," he said.
He started his Gallery career in the mid-1990s, when he was a seventh-grader. He played one of the kids in the chorus of "Oliver," then was chosen for the chorus in "Silent Night."
For a few years after that, he focused on school plays. He acted in middle school, then, as a Newberg High School student, directed middle school shows and acted in high school shows.
In 2004, he returned to Gallery in force. He played the buddy role in "Footloose," stage managed "Anne of Avonlea," then ended the year as a central character in "The Music Man." He's done numerous shows since, including several while he was studying theater at Western Oregon University.
He's spent three summers with the Enchanted Forest theater. He was the Evil Queen in "Snow White and the Seven Dorks," Hansel in "Hansel and Gretel," and this summer played Geppetto in "Pinocchio."
"The shows are slapstick, with lots of my friends in the cast," said Renne, who works at Starbucks between shows. "When we get a good audience, there's a lot of participation. It's fun."
In Portland, his first paid show was "Jungle Book" at the Broadway Rose theater. He returned to Broadway Rose for "Legally Blonde, the Musical" and "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat." This Christmas, he'll be in the theater's production of "Beauty and the Beast."
"Broadway Rose is a real family to me," he said.
In fact, he said, the overall Portland theater community is family-like, because it's small enough for everyone to know everyone else.
"When someone needs help, there's an immediate flood of support," he said. "And when someone gets a part, people are happy for him."
He didn't realize he was joining a family when he walked into the first "Joseph" rehearsal. He knew only one person, Bobby Jackson from "Sweeney Todd" at Gallery. But by the end of their first day, Renne said, he'd made several friends.
Bonding with castmates is one of the reasons he acts and directs. He enjoys not just the show itself, but the camaraderie that builds among the cast and crew.
"It's always a blast," he said. "I wouldn't do this if it was not fun."
He has a hard time naming a favorite show. There are some roles he particularly likes because of the songs the character sings — "Mama Says" by Willard in "Footloose," for example — or because of the dialogue and character development — such as Anthony in "Sweeney Todd" or Hysterium in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum."
Mostly though, he said, "Shows stick out because of people ... Some casts get very close."
In "Footloose," for example, most of the cast members were close to the same age and shared interests in singing and dancing. "We spent all our time together," he recalled.
Other times, he particularly enjoys a show because he's the director. He said he loved "Chicago," with its incredible cast; "Tom Sawyer," the first show he directed at Gallery; and "Steel Magnolias" because of strong storyline and because it was the first non-musical he directed.
Still, as much as he loved the version of "Steel Magnollias" he did at Gallery, he wishes he could direct it again.
"I was too young," he said, noting that he was in his early 20s when he did the show. "There was no way I could comprehend it all."
Renne has long wanted a role in "Little Shop," a humorous horror show with music in a '50s rock 'n roll style. He was excited to be cast as Seymour, not just because of the music, but also because the role has a dramatic arc.
"There hasn't really been a gripping dramatic role I've been appropriate for," Renne said, acknowledging that his age and boy-next-door looks have kept him from playing dark characters in the past.
Seymour, though, has been through a lot of turmoil: He's an orphan who has stuck in a dead end job. "I didn't realize how sad his life was, how introverted, how directionless," Renne said.
Life starts looking up for Seymour when he discovers the special plant, which he names Audrey. Fame and fortune follow, but then things go wrong.
"I want to make Seymour a real person, so audiences can really connect with him," Renne said. "I like Seymour.
"I feel really bad for him at times, but that's part of what will allow me to connect with him as an actor. He's a sympathetic person caught in a bad situation."
Renne had seen both the movie and stage versions of "Little Shop" — they're different — before auditioning at Gallery. He had seen live productions done by the Broadway Rose and by the cast of a national touring company.
He goes to a lot of shows, because he loves theater and because he learns from watching other productions. "When you can claim 'actor' on your taxes, you can write off tickets as research," he joked.
When he's in the audience, he's watching more than the story. He also pays attention to the way the actors perform and to the way the show is staged.
"I have binoculars so I can see where the microphones are and how the lights are set up," he said. "That's enjoyable to me."
After all, he said, "As much as I enjoy acting, I've always enjoyed directing just a little bit more."
Renne will direct a show at Gallery next year, "I Love You Because..." It's a funny, adult musical, he said.
He's also working on a proposal for a show in 2015. He's considering Shakespeare.
This year, Renne was happy to spend much of his theater time doing production work at Broadway Rose. It also gave him a chance to move up another rung on the career ladder.
"I really love the production side, but getting a foot in the door there is harder than with acting," he said. "With acting, you just have to audition. With production, you have to work with somebody who knows somebody."
Once you're in, though, there are more opportunities for steady work. The production side of acting is a bit less subject to the whims of the acting world, where a great actor may lose a role because he's too young, too old, too short or too handsome for the part.
"I'm more the sidekick, best friend, comedic type, the song-and-dance guy," Renne said.
Although his "type" won't be cast in every role, he's OK with that.
"Being the sidekick is so much fun!" he said. "I often get some of the better roles, I think."

The people of Vermont are central to the state's history: Native occupation dating back 10,000 years; citizens powering pivotal Revolutionary War events and providing crucial Civil War support; the men and women who settled the state over the decades and built communities and commerce; and U.S. presidents, Senators and leaders whose work contributed to the foundation of our country. Lesser known are the stories of Vermont's African Americans. It is their stories, and those of some of their fellow Vermonters, that the African American Trail guide explores. The guide takes you to Vermont museums and cultural sites where exhibits, films, tours and personal explorations illuminate the lives of African Americans for whom the Green Mountain State was part of their identity. You'll meet teachers, storytellers, activists, ministers and legislators - people unique in history for being the first to attain positions formerly held only people of European descent, and people who participated in Vermont institutions to make the state and country a better place for all.
Welcome to the unfolding of this important history.

hmmmm? Sounds like something Clint Eastwood would say? Am I warm?
Searing hot.......you have the actor.......but name the film.
( IMO, I think its one of his classic roles, but its not a film of his that people talk about all that much.)
Heartbreak Ridge? Which would be his Sgt. Highway character?
YES...one of my all-time favorite Clint Eastwood and military movies. Awesome...

Refrigerant line sets are flexible copper pipes that connect the outdoor condenser or heat pump to its corresponding indoor unit. They are composed of two types of lines, a suction line and a liquid line, with the suction line being the larger of the two pipes. Line sets can be cut with a tubing cutter to satisfy each individual installation requirement.
We offer two types of refrigerant line sets on our website. Flared refrigerant line sets are used with mini-split systems and both the suction and liquid lines are insulated. Our selection of standard refrigerant line sets have plain straight ends where only the suction line is insulated.

Malaysian Chicken Curry
It's officially winter now in the United States, I am sure many people are bundling up at home and cooking, instead of out and about in the frigid cold weather. I am lucky that I am in Southern California where winter is mild, in fact, this year there is no real winter here. However, being an island girl from the forever tropical Penang island, Malaysia, I feel cold whenever the temperature dips below 60.
Whenever I feel that I need to warm up, I make dishes that warms up my body, for examples: soups, stews, one-pot meals such as Japanese hot pot, and curries. I especially love curries because they are so easy to make and I can just make a big pot and eat the whole day and I might still have some leftover the next day, which taste even better as the flavors develop overnight. Curries are so delicious, great with steamed rice, and heats up my body right away. Plus the smell of curries wafting through the kitchen is enough to set my stomach rumbling, and my mouth watering.
There are countless ways of making Malaysian-style chicken curries and there are various recipes: devil's curry, chicken curry kapitan, Nyonya-style chicken curry, etc. However, this Malaysian chicken curry recipe is very easy chicken curry that you can make with easy-to-find ingredients. For curry powder, I always buy the curry powder packets from Malaysia, brands such as Baba's meat curry powder or Alagappa curry powder (made in Penang). They are fantastic, cheap and you can use them for a long time.
Without further ado, this is my homey Malaysian chicken curry which is really easy to make. Make a big pot today and share it with your family and friends. Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing ALL your great recipes!! Love your website
When do you add the coconut milk?
am i missing something or is thr step to add the coconut milk missing?
Won't the long cooking of the hard boiled eggs in the curry turn the eggs into rubber balls??
I just wanted to add that cooking eggs for a long time makes the yolk much smoother and almost creamy, and the white part actually becomes softer. It also doesn't smell so bad.
Try it!
Either boil for 15 minutes, and then cook on low for few hours (overnight is also OK) in a covered pot; or boil for 2 hours on medium heat. Make sure you have enough water!
It does change the color, but I don't mind it.
What happens to the hard boiled eggs during the last 30-45 minutes? Do they stay whole or fall apart? Thank you for all your great interesting recipes!!!
Can you tell me when the coconut milk goes in? Would it be the same time as the water? This sounds amazing, and simple which is always good!
Sounds so easy, since I've never had any good luck with making curry. But when do you add in the coconut milk / milk?
Hi, I think you have forgotten to add in the coconut milk into your method description :)
i read your column on Malaysian Chicken Curry with some interests, being as my beloved wife, Easwari, comes from Malaysia, herself, and likes to make Chicken Curry too….she, being a Tamil Indian Malaysian, prefers to make it in what she says is the South Indian tradition…and she's been known to make some killer curries….(very good, i mean)….
i was particularly moved to write to you, when i read that you, too, prefer the Indian style Curry powders for your dishes…Alagappa's meat curry, or Baba's style….Easwari particularly loves the Fish curry blend as well….especially as she is a big fan of fish….
what do you think of Yeo's version of packaged Malaysian Curry powder? how does it compare in your mind with the two Indian style varieties (which are indeed VERY flavourful)….
my wife insists it's just not as good as the two brands that you promoted above….but i wonder what your view is…
thanks for all the work you put into this wonderful food blog…you are one of the sources i immediatly go to for all sorts of Asian foods, because you have so many varieties featured in your columns…i also appreciate your pointing out various kinds of sauces and so on that you like to use….i particularly love that Mizkan "soya" sauce…with the bonito…it's great as a dip…as soup base, and for fried noodles…YUM…
my wife, Easwair also prefers to put cinnamon stick, and a little star anise, as well as some mustard seeds and chili flakes into the hot oil before frying the onions…
and being a very traditional girl, she ABHORS the idea of putting tomatoes into chicken curry….i on the other hand LOVE putting tomatoes into the chicken curry….the tomatoes add SUCH a delicious flavour to the gravy, and they just disappear into the sauce….(i make chicken curry myself at times…..we particularly love Vindaloo style, cause it's nice and hot and flavourful…)
Hi good recipes . wish they were set up to be printer friendly
I heard there's going to be a strong winter there! the term I read was polar chill?? take care!
Hi. I have a question about the hard boiled eggs. Do you hard boil them in the stew or hard boil them, shell them and then put them into the stew.
Thank you. :-)
Is 1 oz. of curry powder correct? It seems like a massive amount. Otherwise, the dish reminds me of the stew-like chicken dish I used to order at malaysian restaurant near where I worked years ago.
Hi Bee, thanks for all the nice recipes from Malaysia.
I am Singaporean and staying in Germany. Thank God there are lots of
Asian shops where i am staying. I cook ofen asian food, most of all
i love Indian and Malay food. If you have some Malay kueh recipes do
share with us. Bye
jan kleff
Is there a way to minimize or even eliminate the photo of the finished dish? Often, when I print a recipe, the title and photo take up more than half of a printed page(!). Even a short recipe ends up being two printed pages. It's totally unnecessary and a waste of paper. P.S. My husband and I very much enjoy your recipes!
Yummy! I love curry chicken!
If I wish to cook half a chicken, do I half the ingredients listed ?
Hi, what type of potatoes do you use for the curry chicken? e.g. Idaho, Russet, etc
A fantastic recipe and very easy to make. :)
Thanks so much for this recipe! I can't wait to make dinner tonight :) One question though, do you suggest canned coconut milk (with thicker consistency) or the boxed type sold next to soy milk (thinner consistency)?
chicken is the one which every one loves.thanks……
Hi, thank you for the recipe. I followed this recipe today. Simple yet delicious!
Hi there! Is there any alternative brands of curry powder you have tried that I could get in the grocery store in US?
What vegetables would you serve with this?
Hi, if I would like to add belacan into it, how much and when do I add in?
I cooked the curry exactly based on the recipe. But the curry turns out pretty bland, could only taste the coconut. No curry flavour. Could it be that I added too much water? Or the curry powder differs from brand to brand?
Also, the curry din seem to simmer into the chicken. Should I have stir fry the chicken longer?
Can I check how big is your cup used?

Ginger and Clam Soup (姜丝蛤蜊汤)
I love soups of all sorts, especially Chinese soups. To the Chinese, soups are highly nourishing as each ingredient in the soup delivers a certain health (and beauty) benefit and promotes overall strengths to the body. Drinking soup is a huge part of the Chinese food culture, soup is often considered as "tonic" (補品).
There are endless variations of soups in Chinese cuisine as so many ingredients could be used—Chinese herbal (medicinal), meat-based (chicken, pork, beef, duck, bones, etc.), vegetables (fresh and dried), dried seafood (dried scallops, abalone, oysters, etc.), fresh seafood, the exotics (bird's nest, shark's fin, etc.), and the combination of all the ingredients above. The possibilities are endless, and most importantly, delicious, wholesome, healthy, and certainly much more than the regular egg drop soup and hot and sour soup…
One of the easiest soups that I always make at home is ginger and clam soup, or 姜丝蛤蜊汤. This soup is especially popular for the Taiwanese, and served at Taiwanese restaurants. It takes only a few ingredients and practically 15 minutes to prepare, but the end result is absolutely pleasing. According to my Chinese soups cookbook, ginger and clam soup is great for the liver and stimulates a healthy appetite.

Yes, I always order this soup at Taiwanese restaurants. I didn't know it's so easy to make, now I can make this ginger and clam soup at home. Restaurant is about $10 for a small bowl!
Good tips about the wine. I used to eat a lot of "this dish" in Taiwan. :)
When it's a fresh catch of clams, it just need a simple way of cooking it ay. Me, i'll add in some spring onions, and a teeny weeny drop of sesame oil.
hi Bee, hope all is well, it's been a while since i dropped by. i love this clam soup. had this in some of the local chinese restaurant in kl. simply tasty! all the best!
I love clams!!
Alot of times after i acquired them at the market, i could only think of kam heong la la and spaghetti vongole!
Thanks for the idea.. Now i have another option to pick from! :)
That first photo definitely stimulate my healthy appetite. Now i just wish that delicious ginger and clams soup would materialize in front of me. Bee, if i close my eyes and wish it very hard it will appear, right?.. right? :)
Loved this dish. Will sure order this at restaurants that are good with this
This must be tasty! I love clams… Clams with anything will be just nice! And this is so easy to make!
This dish is highly popular in the Philippines too. We use either clams or mussels in this recipe…mmm….
Bee – what can we substitute for rice wine? Would it be a huge deal to just omit it? I know the taste will be different but we don't consume alcohol. It looks delish, I definitely want to try it.
what's the difference of rice wine from shaoxing wine? how will i know what to use when cooking?
I love this dish!
Every year I go back to Taiwan, I will eat so much of it ( at home) until I can live without it for a while…
HI Rasa. First, I love the site! Simple and attractive at the same time. Second, I love soups (specially Japanese Ramen) and this Ginger and Clam soup is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I need to get some clams! I 'd love this.
OMG!! I found you! Thanks for the recipe!
This sounds so simple yet delicious! I have seen another version with miso paste, which I think would be a great addition as well to the clam soup.
Great recipe, easy to cook. I live near Pasar Borang Selangor and can get clams easily. Will try this recipe coming week.
love this soup, its so easy to make, i also add chopped garlic
I love this time of year- it's the perfect soup weather! I recently made tortellini sausage soup, but your soup looks WAY better!
mmm.. clam soup… that looks great!
Is there a reason why not to use the Shaoxing wine?
Hi Bee, completely agree with your comments on the importance of Chinese soup. A few pork ribs, some jagung, Chinese herbs, and some winter melon, and I am all smiles…
My family loves clams but I always have difficulty removing the sandy bite from the clams itself.

Apple Crisp with Amaretto
The theme for this months Sugar High Friday being hosted at SpiTtoon Extra is Drunken Apples. I like this theme because local apples are in season and I have been getting different varieties from the farmers market each week. I have been looking forward to making an apple crumble for a while now. I ended up using the following apples in the crisp: 2 Honey Crisp, 1 Mutsu, and Jona Gold. For the drunken part I though that I would try adding a little Amaretto to the crisp. Amaretto is an almond flavoured liqueur that I recently tried. It added a nice subtle almond flavour to the crisp. The crisp was really good and the melting vanilla ice cream was the perfect topping.
5 cups apples (peeled, cored and sliced)
1/4 cup amaretto
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup butter (melted)
1. Toss the apples with the amaretto, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar.
2. Mix the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter in a large bowl.
3. Place the apple mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish and pour the topping on.
4. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until it is bubbling and the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.

POSTED: Saturday, February 9, 2013 - 2:00am
UPDATED: Saturday, February 9, 2013 - 2:14am
WASHINGTON (CNN) — As President Barack Obama gets ready to give the first State of the Union address of his second term, it appears his poll numbers are a bit lower than they were just last month.
According to a CNN Poll of Polls, which averages the latest surveys, 49% of Americans say they approve of the job the president's doing in office, with 44% saying they disapprove of his performance in the White House.
That's down just a bit from a 52%-43% job approval rating in a CNN Poll of Polls from mid January, just before Obama's second inauguration.
The new CNN Poll of Polls, compiled and released Friday, averages the three non-partisan, live operator national surveys conducted in the past week and a half: Gallup's daily tracking poll (Feb 5-7), Fox News (Feb. 4-6), and Quinnipiac University (Jan. 30-Feb. 4). Since the CNN Poll of Polls is an average of multiple surveys, it does not have a sampling error.
"Historically speaking, it's not a surprise for a second-term president to lose a couple of points in the aftermath of his second inauguration," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
"It looks like the approval ratings for Bill Clinton in 1997 and Ronald Reagan in 1985 dropped two to four points after the celebratory coverage surrounding their inaugurations faded. It's possible that second-term presidents have honeymoons just like first-term presidents, except that in the second term the honeymoon can be measured in days or weeks, not months," adds Holland.
But the president's busy "to-do" list may also be contributing to the slight decline in his overall approval rating.
"I think he's put forward an aggressive agenda on guns immigration gay rights. It's hard to get much beyond 50% with that approach, unless the president gets a big tailwind from faster economic recovery," says CNN Senior Political Analyst and National Journal Group's Editorial Director Ron Brownstein.
And Holland agrees that there may be more to the slight dip other than just tradition. While President George W. Bush had a lot on his plate at the start of the second term, his one major controversial push right out of the gate centered on Social Security reform.
"President George W. Bush's approval ratings remained constant in early 2005, so there may be more at work here. Obama has promised to spend political capital to achieve some of his more controversial goals on immigration, gun control and climate change. If his approval rating has changed, it may be a sign that some of that capital has already been spent," says Holland.

I half expect Valve to release a stripped-down performance-oriented linux distro to complement steam. Focus on SDL, Kernel, Mesa, OpenAL, and X11. You could pretty much turn any ATI/Intel/Nvidia box into a game console. I started working on one yesterday with ~x86 Gentoo to see how it would run, but the x11 overlay in Layman appears to be broken at the moment.

Games come in boxes still?
When it comes to drivers and stable APIs, I can only think of the mess my father is in with his Windows XP installation on his main computer. His old system borked itself as Windows XP is always destined to do in the end, and he needs to reinstall. The problem is he is no longer sure where to get the drivers for his sound card, his TV capture card, and a multitude of other hardware on his machine. I know for a fact that if I stuck the Fedora 17 Live CD in there could expect it to just work with all of these devices. Once you get a properly supported driver in kernel, it will just work. You do not need to go searching through manuals and websites or old driver disks. Once the hardware is working on your computer you can expect it to continue to run for the full life of your hardware, every time you update your system until then. How is this a worse system than Windows?
So why the big complaints about drivers? The problem with this system is that it requires hardware manufactures to actively support Linux - and by support Linux I mean have free in-kernel drivers.Yes, that means somewhat of a delay when it comes to supporting new hardware, but this can be alleviated as Intel had been working to do by working with the Linux kernel maintainers and other parts of the graphics infrastructure well in advance of a hardware launch. Complaints about binary blobs arise from the fact they are trying to shoe-horn Windows drivers on top of Linux. They are essentially userspace applications that also touch the kernel, which is bound to cause trouble. But they are not necessarily necessary and just because Linux does not specifically cater to them does not mean Linux is bad for gaming. It just means that for the moments gamers are not getting proper support from most of their hardware producers on Linux. By proper support, I mean free in kernel drivers.
Just because companies are not doing the work to properly support Linux using it's own systems does not mean that Linux has a problem. It is just that they have yet to see the light yet.
hey, its cool so many ppl dropped in to say something about it! keep it going!
do you think it will get better when they drop the x and use wayland?
Until then, it's "X/mesa/SDL/OpenAL".
Fingers crossed.
Windows, the always broken bloated self-infecting piece of monopoly shi-
Mac, the egoistic overpriced stripped-down patent troll
Just go ahead!
MESA is one of the implementations, which should just follow the (hard to follow) spec (OpenGL).
This leaves developers with "X/OpenGL/SDL" tripple, which is perfectly simple.

Around 2005 or so (not sure anymore) I remember I was playing McGee's Alice with better FPS on Debian than on Windows...
Yes, I was using the Nvidia blob but still...
Now since I move to the free Radeon driver, although we are more than half a decade later....
Sad story...
I'm sorry, are the ops on holiday? This thread belongs in the "Gaming" sub-forum.

ETQW will NOT become GLP'ed - for starters it aint a iD product
likewise there is no guarantee that iD will GPL their Tech4 engine
Well a GPLed ETQW would be definitely awesome, as that game has some much potential, but was ultimately so flawed at release (and still is I think) that it is not really worth playing
But given the history of scource release of only strictly in house titles I highly doubt that this will happen.
The Quake3 source code however included changes made for the expansion pack Team-Arena, thus maybe some changes have been merged back into the Doom3 code which gets released.
ETQW will NOT become GLP'ed - for starters it aint a iD product
likewise there is no guarantee that iD will GPL their Tech4 engine
true, they only said it was a goal if all goes well.
but SD worked on it, SD did the original enemy territory and thats open sourced isn't it?
SD also mad the DOOM3 multi-player (although seriously lacking, it exists).
I hope iD release Tech4 as GPL (and that pretty much depends on how well they can get game houses to license Tech5), but don't expect SD to open up their bits.
Last I heard, Carmack said yes it would be opensourced, he just wasn't sure nor would he commit to any time period.
From my understanding the release of code for RTCW:ET isn't "Open Source" by the definition of the term. It doesn't include all the code for it, just parts of it IIRC. And also the license prohibits things like commercial use of it. That makes it not Open Source according to the official OSI Open Source definition.
Megatexture is available in Doom 3 but is more Proof of Concept than anything else<1>. You'd have to do a lot of work to make it a viable alternative to tiled terrain. The real question should be how much of the sound architecture will be ripped out because of the deal with Creative?

Reviews for Beef Lasagne
Sort By :
"I wonder how much sodium is in a serving? Onion soup mix is very high in sodium as is cheese."
"This is pretty good in my opinion. Everyone in the family loves it. It's my husband's request when he comes home from a week of travelling and craves home cooking."
"This was delicious. I used buffalo meat, which worked out well. I, too, ran short of sauce, but just loaded up on the cheese and used one less layer of noodles and it did not seem to make a difference. My husband loved it. It is a very easy recipe to follow as well and does not take too long to make."
"As a lasagne lover this one works perfectly for my family and for me. It's easy and tasty and freezes beautifully. Thanks for sharing!"
"I made this for my 2 boys and we all LOVED it!! This will definitely become part of our routine!! AMAZINGLY good!!"

Soapsuds Hollow: A knack for lawn care, some have it
The wet spring has certainly greened things up nicely, and although in many places the corn was planted later than last year's crop, much of it is well above knee-high. Our parks looks beautiful, Rocky Run Golf Course is in tip-top shape, and the lawns are thriving.Some people seem to have a knack for lawn care, and the rains have certainly been a blessing for them. Every time I go to my mom's house on Sunset Drive, I go past Dave Heinemann's house. As if from a TV commercial, Dave's front lawn looks as though it is four-inch pile carpet. He grooms it meticulously, edges it regularly, and one would be hard pressed to find a weed anywhere in it.Gordon Lovell lived in the house next to the Senior Citizen Center, and he had a hedge along the front sidewalk. He kept that hedge trimmed as if Gene Kolbeck had done it with his barber scissors. Gordon didn't use an electric trimmer – he would trim it with a hand hedge clipper. You could hear the snip-snip-snip as you approached, his elbows moving like wings as he worked.
With five kids in the house, our lawn always took a beating. Dad tried hard to keep it looking nice, but with baseball games in the back yard and bikes cutting across the front yard, and 75 neighborhood kids running around, the odds were stacked against him.It was the never-ending battle against the dandelions that seemed to bug him the most about the yard. If any of us kids ever got into mischief, our punishment would be a few hours in the hot sun with the dandelion digger and a bucket.I spent a summer working at Terrace Manor as a night orderly, and would often work with Florence Nemmers. One night, the subject somehow turned to dandelions, and Florence mentioned that she had a recipe for dandelion wine. Shortly thereafter, she brought the recipe to me. I've never tried to make it, but I still have the recipe.This might be a good time to try it, since we now have Dells Wine Creations on Main Street. And we still have dandelions.

About ECM
June 21 , 2006
Cover stories and raves for Lloyd trio
Charles Lloyds Sangam, introducing his trio with Zakir Hussain and Eric Harland, has caught the attention of the international press in a big way, and focused new attention on the great tenorist from Memphis, Tennessee.
In April, Lloyd was on the cover of the UKs Jazzwise.
In July, he is on the front of Downbeat, and Sangam is also Jazz Album of the Month in the BBC Music Magazine, where reviewer Roger Thomas writes:
Even allowing for the diversity of the genre, this is, quite simply, the single best jazz release Ive heard for months.
In Downbeat, writer Josef Woodard traces Lloyds path from the 1960s when his quartet introduced Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette to the world to the present day.
Lloyd has built up a powerful poetic body of work on ECM and played with some of the finest and most flexible musicians in jazz including Stenson, Brad Mehldau, John Abercrombie, Larry Grenadier, Billy Hart, Anders Jormin and, in his current quartet, Geri Allen and Harland. Interestingly, despite Lloyds longstanding and proudly held license to deviate from norms of structure or strict cultural vocabularies in his music, his freest and most adventurous albums have been released only in the last couple of years. ( ) Sangam is the first recording of a trio project originally designated as a tribute to Billy Higgins after his passing. ( ) With the albums Which Way Is East and Sangam, Lloyd finally breaks out of the quartet mode which has been his foundation for decades.
Lloyd, Hussain and Harland play a number of major festivals in the summer and autumn of 2006, with dates in the USA, Turkey, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and France. More details on our

Tim Cook at Goldman Sachs Conference: Retail Philosophy, Acquisitions, and the Apple Ecosystem
Apple CEO Tim Cook is now speaking at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, participating in a Q&A session with analyst Bill Shope. Apple is streaming live audio of the session on its investor site, and we'll be sharing some of the highlights here in this post.
Question about Apple's cash usage strategy...do you have a Depression-era mentality?
What a way to start! We're making significant investments in a number of areas: supply chain, retail stores, corporate acquisitions, etc. Now, we do have a significant amount of cash, and we're fortunate to have that. We're returning some of it to investors and will continue to have discussions on that.
Thoughts on Greenlight's proposal about unlocking more capital for shareholders?
We welcome input from our shareholders and are discussing a broad array of options.
How about Greenlight's lawsuit regarding your proxy statement?
There are some misconceptions over what this is about. It's not about turning money back to shareholders. It's about corporate governance. So we've decided to eliminate the ability to issue "blank check" shares ourselves. We could still do it, but would have to go to shareholders for approval. So frankly, this seems bizarre to me that we're being sued over something that's good for shareholders.
We wish people involved in this lawsuit would take this money and donate it to a good cause. This is a waste of money for all involved...a silly sideshow. But you're not going to see us sending out a mailing or campaigning for our proposal. It's the right thing to do, and I'm going to vote for it. You're not going to see a "Yes on 2" sign in my front yard.
Question on acquisitions...most of them are small. Is there something in your culture against large acquisitions?
We do a fair number of acquisitions...one every other month. Most of them are for talented people working on smaller projects that we absorb and then move them to our own projects. PA Semi is an example...talented chip folks working on PowerPC and we moved them to iOS device work. We'll do more deals like this.
As for large companies, we have and will continue to look at them. But so far they haven't passed smell test for us. We could do it, but we're disciplined. Not interested in just growing revenue, but if there was a large acquisition that fit our needs, we would do it.
How do we think about Apple's culture of innovation today?
It's never been stronger. It's so embedded in Apple...the desire to make the very best products in the world. It's in the DNA of the company, and so I feel fantastic about it. Now, if you look at some essentials for innovation, there's no formula. But some of the essentials are skills and leadership. If you look at skills, Apple is in a unique and unrivaled position...expertise in software, hardware, and services. Consumers want an elegant experience where technology floats to background and customer is at the center. The real magic happens at the intersection of software, hardware, and services, and we have the ability to innovate and create magic there.
For many year, this idea of "vertical integration" was out of favor. People thought it was kind of crazy, but we never did and we continued to build. This is something you work decades for. I think there are people trying desperately to catch up, and they're finding it very difficult to do.
In terms of leadership, I look around the executive boardroom and see superstars. Jony Ive is the top designer and now turning his attention to software. Bob Mansfield is the leader in silicon. No one better than Jeff Williams at operations. Schiller, Riccio, etc. I've never been more bullish on Apple...we have the talent to pull this off.
Question about law of large numbers. Have we reached a natural limit on iPhone growth?
We don't have the word "limit" in our vocabulary. It's because of that that we've been able to do things for so many years and deliver things people never knew they needed. When I look at smartphone market, I see a market that was at 700 million last year...projected to double over next four years. Over the long-term all phones will be smartphones and there are a lot more people in the world than 1.4 billion. And people like to upgrade regularly. This is an enormous market to get to.
We've sold 500 million as of the end of last year, but over 40% of that happened last year. So there's incredible momentum. And we've built a great ecosystem that is also fueling a developer industry..we've now paid out over $8 billion to them. Innovation has all moved to tablets and smartphones, so there's so much momentum. When you look at what we're doing in China, it's impressive. There are also areas where we're not doing as well, and we view those as opportunities. When I string all of these things together, I see a wide open field.
Question about opportunities...low-cost and prepaid markets have little access to iPhone given expense. How do you create a quality product accessible to more people?
We wouldn't do anything we don't consider to be a great product. That's just not who we are. That said, if you look at what we've done for people who are price sensitive, we've lowered the price of the iPhone 4 and 4S as of last September, and last quarter we didn't have enough supply of the iPhone 4. It surprised us.
Also take a look at the history of iPod. When we started, it was $399. Now you can get an iPod shuffle for $49. Rather than cheapening, we build new products with a separate experience. For years, people said 'Why don't you have a Mac under $500 or $1000 or whatever?' We worked on that for a long time and came up with the iPad. So we're always trying to reinvent with great new products.
Question about Apple's design choices..focusing on iPhone 5 screen size and how Apple's knows it's right for users.
First of all, I'm not going to talk about what we might do in the future. But look back at the PC industry...companies have historically competed on two fronts: price and specs. But customers are interested in the experience. Do you know the speed of an Ax processor? It doesn't matter. So when we look at displays, there are a lot of factors...and it's all about the experience. There are many details of a display (Retina is twice as bright as OLED, and better color saturation), and we sweat all of them to create the best experience, which is always broader than can be defined by a single number.
Question about the "Apple would never..." religion
The only thing we'll never do is make a crappy product. That's the only religion we have...we must do something great. Something bold, something ambitious. Something great for the customers, and we sweat all of the details.
Question about iPad and potential for tablet market
It's a huge opportunity. It's an ideal example of the intersection of hardware, software, and services. Look at PCs...we sold more iPads last year than market leader HP sold of their entire PC lineup. There were about 120 million sold last year...projections suggest 375 million within four years. Will exceed PC sales.
Apple is the poster child of the post-PC revolution. We have over 300,000 apps custom designed for the tablet. The other guys have a few hundred. And you can see the whole of Apple coming out here. I don't know about market share because we're the only ones really report numbers, but if you look at usage, IBM saw over Black Friday that shopping activity on iPad was twice as high as the entire Android market. Data is very clear that iPad is popular and people use them more. I'm not sure what people are doing with these other tablets. We want people to use our products, not just buy them. Our relationship starts there...it doesn't end there.
iPad is also moving into all of the key markets. In almost every Fortune 500/Global 500 company. Making inroads in education, and of course consumers. It usually takes a long time to penetrate all of these markets, but we've already done that. But we still think we're in the early innings of this. Customers want integration and we deliver that.
iPad mini was huge last quarter. iPad set a standard for pricing, and iPad mini brought that down further. But it did bring down margins. What about tradeoffs between entry pricing and financials for the company.
I get asked about cannibalization a lot. The first time I remember being asked about this was the iBook versus the PowerBook. When the iPad came out, people said we were going to kill the Mac. The truth is we don't think about that. If we don't cannibalize, someone else will. In the case of iPad, the Windows PC market is huge, and there's a lot more there to cannibalize than there is of Mac. If a company ever begins to use cannibalization as a major factor in their decision-making, it's the beginning of the end. Because if they don't, someone else will.
If you look at the iPad, over 50% of the people buying iPad in countries like China and Brazil don't own any other Apple products. And we've seen a very clear pattern of people buying an initial Apple product and then buying more. We've seen this halo effect with iPod for the Mac, iPod for iPhone, and now even iPad for iPhone. Seems perfectly reasonable to me to have both iPad and iPad mini in our lineup. I think this is going to be the mother of all markets. And customers are voting and they're buying.
Your margins have long been above your competitors'. How do you think about this over the long-term?
I don't want to get into projecting margins beyond what we do in conference calls, but in general here's what we do. You can always go in and accept a lower margin for strategic reasons, but at the background we always know that this halo effect plays out. We also are confident in our ability to manage the supply chain and bring down the cost curve. Because we're not a "hardware company", we have other ways to make money and reward shareholders. Last quarter, for software and services, it was $3.7 billion. If you look at software and services companies, that's an incredible amount of revenue. Being more than just a hardware company gives us some flexibility over the short-term. We're managing Apple for the long-term.
Looking at Apple as a platform company, address how things might differ between developed markets and emerging markets. Some markets, for reasons outside of Apple's control, don't have iTunes music and movies, etc. How does that affect platform strategy.
Last year, we put major effort into expanding our ecosystem into new markets...App Store, iTunes Store, iBookstore all in over 100 countries. Only one major country where we're not selling movies. We advanced significantly last year in getting our infrastructure in place in countries around the world. We still have a ways to go, and you're right, in some cases it's beyond our control, but we keep knocking on the door. But versus last year when we were talking, there is a dramatic difference in our ecosystem in emerging markets.
Question on retail strategy
There's no better place to discover, explore, and learn about our products than our retail stores. Our people are amazing. You walk in and immediately realize the store isn't there for selling, but for service. The store helps you get more out of your products and acts as a gathering place. You might find a youth program with kids coming on an elementary school field trip. You might find a local musician performing. I'm not even sure "store" is the right word anymore. They are the face of Apple for almost all of our customers. People don't think about the Cupertino headquarters...they think about the local Apple store. Last quarter, we welcomed 120 million people in our stores, and we only have a little over 400 of them.
So this is huge, in fact so huge that some of our stores aren't big enough. But like cash, it's a good problem to have. So this year we're closing 20 stores and moving them to larger spaces. And opening 30 more stores, disproportionately outside of the U.S., including first store in Turkey.
I don't think we would have been nearly as successful with iPad if it weren't for our stores. This was something new that people didn't know anything about, but the stores gave people the chance to come in and experience it.
We're incredibly bullish on stores and going to continue to invest in them. Our people are fantastic, and there's no place quite like it. I don't have very many bad days, but if I ever feel that I'm dropping down from an excited level, I go and visit a store. It's like a Prozac.
Look back at first full year as CEO. What are you most proud of?
Most proud of our employees. I have the privilege every day of working with people who want to make the very best products in the world, and they're there to do not only great work, but the best work of their lives. It's a privilege of a lifetime for me to be there now.
I'm proud of products. For those things we've elected to do, they're really great. I'm incredibly bullish on the future. I'm proud that we have a spine and are out in front on supply chain responsibility. I'm proud that we're doing heavy lifting with the environment...eliminated toxics, largest private solar farm anywhere, etc. I'm proud about all of these things. It's both the privilege of a lifetime and incredibly humbling to be able to work with all of these great people.

People seem to forget that Goldman Sachs was a cornerstone in loan availability for the past hundred years, but they got caught up in some bad loan deals.
Seriously they're not "evil", they just had to answer to a board that wanted more profits - and the only way to make real interest was in the subprime market.
Anyway, I'm interested in what Tim says today, and I hope that it will be investor friendly. I've never seen wall street react like it did to Apple, and Tim needs to stop this downward spiral.

I can't speak for everyone of course, but in my opinion, Cook is a great CEO. He isn't Jobs, he doesn't have to be. Let Ive handle design, innovate as a company (from the ground up) and let Cook handle what he's great at.

The only thing that needed saying at a "Goldman Sachs Technology Conference" is why the hell are we here.
Im not sure about most things in life but I would not allow GS to come anywhere near my company.
You can bet, with an almost 100% accuracy, that Goldman Sachs employs at least 1 person tasked with separating Apple from its cash reserves.
They do this all the time and try to put themselves between a company and its acquisitions. They usually play both sides of the game and are usually the ones to profits from such moves.
In the real world, if the local criminal gang invited all the neighbours around so they could put a value on them as potential targets for criminal activities you would be a fool to go.

Berek for TravelSmith Black Denim Ruffle Jacket 5 5
Love this versatile jacket This is a fancy jean jacket, but classy too. I think the black ruffle is tasteful and allows the jacket to dress up or down. It is very comfortable. Because I am large busted (38E), I often have to get x-large and then the tops are too big in shoulders and waist. This jacket has a tailored fit, but not tight and a nice amount of stretch. It doesn't look tacky, like some fancied up denim does. The dark denim I think is the key. It is a perfect length for me (5'2" and hits about at my hips…just where I like it. This will be a staple in my everyday and travel wardrobe…Love it! Thank you. May 22, 2014
Luv It!! Love this combination of glam and denim. Instantly adds a nice flare! May 6, 2013
Chic but Sassy Received this spunky little jacket today, tried it on, and it's great. I have several denim jackets, but this one is truly different; perfect for adding a little spark to your everyday jeans, and just enough lace and sparkle to wear with that little black dress. Pair it with a cowl-necked top or turtleneck. I'm 123 lbs, 36" bust, and the small fits perfectly. It's going to make a great versatile travel staple. Thanks TravelSmith! November 7, 2013
Not just a jeans jacket This is a jacket with bling. It will dress up jeans and will top off skirts and dress pants. It has a taper to flatter and it is just the right length. I have never seen anything like it. August 6, 2013
Just not me It looked better in the picture. Somehow the ruffles just looked wrong once I had it on. I could not convince myself to keep it. September 2, 2013

Jack Edwards of NESN joins Dale, Michael and Jerry. With 9 games left the Bruins don't have much if any margin of error, and Jack knows it.
DJ, Joe and Pete talk more playoff scenarios in hour 2 and if the Bruins can get in, they'll be a very dangerous team... to the point where DJ thinks teams would much rather face the Senators and are doing their best to oust the Bruins from the equation. It's become apparent now more than ever that Chiarelli probably needed to pull the trigger on a deal for a defenseman at the trade deadline. Also. Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun joins the boys to discuss the Hamburglar and the Senators and Bruins being neck-and-neck for a playoff spot.
With the Senators hot on the tail of the Bruins for a spot in the playoffs, Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun calls into Sunday Skate.

Hosted by the Credit Union League of CT and facilitated by the experts at M&M Consulting, LLC, these training workshops and webinars will provide comprehensive understanding of upcoming regulatory changes and assist in providing exciting solutions to the regulatory difficulties Connecticut credit unions are faced with.
This year, in an effort to maximize the benefits of this invaluable guidance, the league will provide the opportunity to attend the webinar portion of the series from the convenience of your credit union. As always, the league is happy to provide the webinars at our office in Meriden at no cost to our affiliated credit unions. If however, you are interested in attending from your credit union, the registration fee is $89.00 per webinar/per incoming telephone line. You may have as many employees who wish to take advantage of any particular webinar attend from your credit union provided they are on the same telephone line for this small cost. Registration to attend either option is required.
M&M Consulting, LLC experts will also serve as facilitators in the Workshop portion of this series. These experts are secure in their knowledge, and confident of their ability to convey pertinent compliance information. Affiliated credit unions will leave our Workshop training sessions with an understanding of how to meet the challenges they face in today's regulatory environment. The workshops are available to our affiliated credit unions at no additional cost. Dates will be announced and registration is required.
The first webinar in the series focuses on the confusion around the new mortgage regulations. It is scheduled for Wednesday, March 5th 9:00 am – 11:00 am and will provide comprehensive understanding on how these rules affect the mortgage products and services you provide your members, as well as how to comply with the regulations. This is a great opportunity to obtain additional guidance now that the rules have taken effect and the need for implementation grows with more intensity.

text: I have a camera app developed for Windows Phone 8 and everything works OK, except I cannot get ISO or any other property on PhotoCaptureDevice object. Whenever I call object value = photoCaptureDevice.GetProperty(KnownCameraPhotoProperties.Iso) I get null back. Is anything special about querying for KnownCameraPhotoProperties properties? I do not have problems setting any property. Thanks!
