December Chat 2010
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/3/2010 1:48 PM ESTGracie gives me that look every time! She's a piggy dressed up like a dog, I think. LOL
We drew names for the first time this year on DH's side, and one of his siblings and his wife are pi$$y about it because they never gave anyone anything before, and now they "have to" buy 2 gifts. Kind of disappointing, that's all, that they would see it that way.
On the other hand, we've been drawing names in my family for years and years. Everyone participates with the joy one would hope for, dare I say expect for the Season.
I'm going to assume Gracie won't touch the presents and will wrap them this afternoon to go under the tree. All of DH's are here and will make a nice pile. He asked for his "big" gift, a GPS for his hikes and snowmobiling. Could be a lifesaver, you never know. I got him that and all the accessories - extra memory card (as per the reviews of the GPS), a detailed NE map of trails and parks, and carrying case. Plus, a few things he doesn't know about. A little 20 page 8x8 hard cover picture book of Gracie, a new pillow, and a cotton throw with the photo of Gracie in front of the wood stove (that we used for Christmas cards) woven into it. Anything "Gracie" will be cherished forever...he loves her so much.

posted at 12/3/2010 2:36 PM EST---An awful lot of "bah humbugs" on this morning's board. Give what you want at Christmas, as expensive or inexpensive as you wish. ---
tt, sorry for the vent. I love to give gifts as well as anyone else. I love to look for them, buy them, wrap them and watch when the receiver open them. But truly, when the other party is not into the joy of giftgiving, it becomes sadly too one sided. Other family members have complained as well about this one side of DH's family.
It is fine, if you don't want to participate, but then don't expect to receive. That is all - and that is the conclusion our family has reached. Everyone are much happier this way.
Everything will work fine if your are a team player. - Pingo
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/3/2010 2:54 PM ESTIt's all in the joy it gives you, Pingo. I have a girlfriend, the wealthiest of my friends, who gives recycled gifts - which in itself is OK, but a couple of years ago I received a scented candle with a burned wick! I still love to pick out something I know she will really like - just I have now scaled down the range from what I previously looked in! And no, they're not recycled.
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/3/2010 3:45 PM ESTI take tons of joy in giving, and would much rather give than receive especially from DH because I feel like just living here, being his wife, not having to work outside our home is a gift every single day (well, aside from the days that include face time with BIL, lol). But, isn't it sad that there was a sibling that bemoaned the drawing because it meant they had to give a gift to a sibling for Christmas when previously they just got to take?
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/3/2010 4:07 PM ESTYou know, Kar, maybe next year you should leave the two who don;t want to give gifts out of the draw. They don't have to give and no one has to give them anything...
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/3/2010 4:32 PM ESTNot my side of the family, not my call! Yay!!
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/3/2010 5:55 PM ESTFriends,
I am so happy this got vented. I have always felt sad, that for some people - I just couldn't feel the joy of giving. So glad, I am not the only one feeling this way.
Like tt's friends, these friends/family of ours have more than most wealthy people. Still they will give the "burnt wick candle" - as tt described so vividly.
I do understand, that some people have not much to give, and that is perfectly fine with me. I will still embrace them in our Holiday celebrations with pleasure.
But friends/family who think mo wrong to come to a Christmas celebration empty handed year after year after year, and still think it is fine for them to receive is just a bit too much for me to handle.
Mr. P and I hardly ever argue, but this is a sore subject coming up every year, "Why do I have to keep inviting these people?". They don't know the joy of Christmas.
Ok, I am off my soap box. Thanks for listening - Pingo
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/3/2010 7:26 PM ESTReciprocity is appreciated even if you do truly love to give, I think. It's just human nature. Or, I'm exposing and excusing my own "secret" selfishness, I don't know! :)

Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 7:38 AM ESTGood morning,
I know in my DIL's family, they sort announce that at Thanksgiving they'll be doing the name draw for Christmas gifts, for those interested. Anyone who isn't then has the opportunity to exclude themselves without anyone making a big deal of it. I think just one year there was one sibling who for whatever reason didn't participate. Nicer way to do it then to be either the person who doesn't want to give and feels forced to, or the resenter who is upset by one who takes a gift but doesn't reciprocate. Why make someone feel uncomfortable. As with my burned wick giving friend, I would not embarrass her for the world. In fact in her defense, I'm think she might have received that gift in a Yankee swap, didn't want yet another candle, and in all probability never even opened the top to see that it had previously been lit. Why not give her the benefit of the doubt?
Cards to write out, bills to pay, lists to be rewritten, pick a room, any room and clean from top to bottom - these are my plans for the day. What about the rest of you?
A little addendum: After posting on the Brambles post, may just make up some of the raisin ones. Wish my pastry would come out like my mothers' but even tho I use the same ingredients, never is as flakey as hers.

Are you using all purpose flour? I know there is a different flour for pastry. Just trying to help.
As far as the gift giving. Honey and I are giving people, but for Xmas we just do little gifts. There are a lot of expenses that come with the end of the year for me. I get rather poor by the time I pay for licenses and town taxes and property taxes and commercial registrations ect.
I don't do grabs for Honeys family, we used to, but I would just end up with my own item in the swaps...I don't have the time or resources to get myself a gift so I don't do it anymore. Besides that, Everyone has a holiday party for their work or charity or whatever they do, and I am always asked to contribute goodies or what not for no $ so ...Thats their gift. I make no bones about handing them their goodies and saying"Merry Christmas to you" Works for me!!
I usually select a random day and call it Honey Appreciation Day..He comes home to a bed full of gifts and a very nice dinner...My son and Mother join us and ...music please..."This is how we do it"
Have a great day everyone. Nice to see all the chattin' We should all post our trees when we get them up. Our goes up 2morow
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 8:19 AM ESTNice post, Icer. Do we get to see your tree tomorrow or the next day? I'm thinking of doing the same as last year, inviting 3 friends for lunch, with a "decorate tt's tree" as a prerequisite for being fed! As for your baking - no charge - darn lucky people.
The flour? I use all purpose. Do you think there was a difference in flours that my mother would have used back when I was a kid? Remember, you're talking a LOT of years back - - - - and be very careful how you answer that!
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 8:27 AM ESTYes TT I do think that the generations before us were more inclined to use a pastry flour. We all use Supermarkets now, when once upon a time, you went to a butcher for your meat ect. There is a difference in strength or gluten. Bread flour is the strongest..then cake flour then pastry flour. I have seen cake flour in the supermarket, might be worth a whirl.
I went to Culinary Arts school and we used to have to (by eye) tell the difference between them. This was to prepare us for the eventuality of being given the wrong flour by a vendor.
I like the idea of friends over to decorate the tree, You are soo cool TT.
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 8:29 AM ESTtt, I have an insight from my late great-grandmother about the flakiness...or lack thereof. She never changed the way she made her mother's recipes, and back when the genetic modifications of the flour strated, she noticed (very vocally and disgustedly) that the flour didn't "behave" the way it used to. She was never able to reproduce HER OWN recipes that she'd made for decades to perfection. She went to her grave believing "they ruined the wheat." And, of course, you know my aunt concurs from a digestibility standpoint. It's just not the same product that your mom used. That's why, I believe as she did, that even though you literally do every single thing the exact same way you don't get the same result.
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 8:36 AM ESTWell, you both make me feel a little better in not being the pie cook my mother was. When I want to make a cake from scratch, and don't want to run out, I usually use my all purpose but double sift it. I'll try that with the brambles - now that I've got my mouth drooling for them. When I was first married I made cakes all the time from scratch and used Swans Down Cake Flour. I don't know if they even still make that, but I do remember the last time I bought cake flour I felt it had been sitting on the store shelf way past its time. Now I'm always leery of buying it - plus, now, I don't make that many cakes - I truly would eat the whole thing myself in the matter of a week. My kids and their families are much better at avoiding sweets. But what can you expect from a girl who was raised with homemade cakes every other day, cake for dessert, and always a glass of milk and a piece of two layer cake with chocolate frosting and raspberry jam in the middle, before going to bed? -- It's all my mother's fault!
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 9:01 AM ESTOh how my DH loved his dessert
But the flab 'round his middle
did drive him berserk!
So he did ask me to lighten his tummy
And I said with a giggle
That means no more yummy!
Then like a baby he whined and cried
But he'd asked for my help
So his goose was fried
Now two years later he's quite the svelt Honey
25 pounds lighter
He's lost his whole tummy!

Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 9:11 AM ESTThis is an interesting subject.
Almost everything is genetically changed these days. When I was still working, we just started to change rice, so people in the 3rd world countries could get a better crop. I am sure the same must have happened to the wheat. (Seedless oranges anyone?)
I have the same problems making my pastries from my home country. My mother's pastry - so flaky and delicious - comes out like "bombs".
tt, you may try to use cake flour. Don't buy the one on the shelf. They are mostly way outdated. To make your own, put 2 Tbs. of cornstarch in a cup measure then add the all purpose to measure. Then shift it. I have done that, and it works. Not as great as my mom's flour, but a lot better.
Good luck, dear - Pingo
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 9:15 AM EST2 tablespoons, pingo? Seems a lot for a couple of cups, but I'll try it if that's what you meant.
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 9:46 AM ESTThanks - it was a whine fest here ("I NEEEEEEEEEEEEED PIE!") for a LONG time, LOL!!
I seem to recall my grandmother using that cornstarch trick, too. It's a chemical leavener so it literally lightens the flour.
I'm going offline probably 'til tomorrow. The ILs will be here in just over 2 hours, and I'm not ready yet. Must go to the grocery store first, then vacuum/wash floors, start pie, toss bread in the bread maker..........ack!
Bye for now and good day to all!
Re: December Chat 2010
posted at 12/4/2010 9:48 AM ESTYes, tt. 2 Tbs. of corn startch per cup of flour. That is exactly, what I mean. I use it for certain things, and it does work well as a cake flour. Make sure you sift it well in order to mix it. - Pingo
Re: December Chat 2010

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Saying the stock's valuation was "too attractive to ignore," FBR analyst Paul Miller on Tuesday upgraded his rating for Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report) to "Outperform" with a price target of $31.00.
Miller's target would be a 35% gain from Monday's closing price of $22.93. Wells Fargo's shares declined 9% on Monday, following last week's 9% decline.
Bank of America (BAC - Get Report) led the largest U.S. banking names down, as its shares dropped 20% to close at $6.51. Miller continues to rate the nation's largest bank holding company "Outperform" with a price target of $12.00.
The analyst said that Wells Fargo was replacing PNC Financial Services (PNC - Get Report) among his firm's "top picks" in the banking space, although PNC continues to be rated "Outperform" by FBR, with a $70 price target.Miller said the Wells Fargo upgrade "presumes that bank investors will flock to quality names that can best weather the adverse effect of a flattening yield curve," and that "the company's strong deposit franchise, diverse business lines, and solid mortgage origination platform position it well to sustain a healthy" net interest margin, with "77% of its funding base coming from core Deposits." A bank's net interest margin is the spread between a bank's average yield on loans and investments and its average cost for deposits and wholesale borrowings. The analyst also touted Wells Fargo's "decline in non-interest operating expenses, coupled with lower net interest income,

culture: Bringing a taste of the twentys to Theatre Royal.
Thoroughly Modern Millie opens there tonight and recreates the fun captured by Julie Walters in the hit 1967 musical film.
Presented by Newcastle upon Tyne Theatre Company, it tells the story of Kansas girl Millie Dillmount who arrives in New York in 1922 determined to enjoy the kind of life she thinks should be lived by a modern girl.
Cue lots of songs - such and the well-known Baby Face - and dance routines as Millie's best-laid plans for love and life are turned on their head, as she makes new friends and encounters a white slavery trade.
Taking the lead role is 16-year-old Eleanor Chaganis from South Shields, who appeared last year as a dancer in a TV documentary of Billy Elliot.
Millie's love interest is played by solicitor Jimmy Smith from Newcastle, who has been with the company since 2006. Vicki Richardson who normally choreographs the company's shows, this time directs too. The musical director is Fu Meng Khaw. Thoroughly Modern Millie is at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle, until Saturday. Visit www.theatreroyal.co.uk or call 0844 811-2121.

"We did a weeklong tour this past summer," says Nienaber, "but it was really haphazard. We put it together a few weeks before we went out, because I was on Craigslist and I saw this ad—a woman wanted someone to drive her two Siberian huskies from Minneapolis to San Diego and she was going to pay for the trip and pay $400, and I was like, 'We could tour with that much money.'"
"Well, then one of the huskies died—got hit by a car—the day before we left, so we only had one to bring, and if there had been two, we wouldn't have been able to fit all of our equipment in the car."
I'm already incredulous when Moltaji interjects, "Yeah, she had one leg, too."
A one-legged dog? "No, no, no—the woman had one leg," he clarifies.
But what a tour.
"We all connected with the dog," Moltaji continues. "Her name was Luna. We were driving one day and [Justin] took his shirt off and he was all sweaty and he was like, 'You know, huskies love it,' so it was just him naked in the back with the dog. I miss the dog."

Roosh Williams - Day 1
Artist: Roosh Williams
Producer: The Stompboxx
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 6 votes )
Whether you're an artist, lawyer, or even a rapper, there's a very good chance that you remember the first day you fully devoted yourself to whatever your craft may be. On his latest effort, Day 1, Houston rhymeslinger Roosh Williams does just that as he takes us back to the day he first began rapping, which interestingly enough took place while the hungry emcee, and I do mean that literally, was waiting on some grub in the lunch line. The lyricist goes on to fill us in on this paramount day with the backing of The Stompboxx's head-nod-worthy production as he raps, "It all started back in middle school was sitting in the lunch line/ Waiting on a cheeseburger, spitting out some punchlines." Day 1 isn't attached to any larger project from Williams but the H-Town spitter's last DJBooth feature, Just Another Night, is still available for free stream and download.

Getting Started With Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease Home
Alzheimer's disease is one of the most serious and progressive forms of mental deterioration known as dementia, and the most common type of dementia to affect older people in America. Alzheimer's impacts a part of the brain that controls cognitive function, including memory, comprehension, thought processing, and language capabilities. All people who develop Alzheimer's disease become unable to care for themselves once the condition reaches its final stages.
Alzheimer's Disease Treatment
Though Alzheimer's disease is not yet curable, a number of medications can help to delay disease progression and to ease such Alzheimer's symptoms as agitation, hallucinations, disorientation, and confusion.
Alzheimer's Disease Management
Receiving an Alzheimer's diagnosis can feel like you're losing control, but you can still make many important decisions and arrangements in early stages of the disease. Planning ahead will help to ensure that you'll be able to make your wishes known and will aid your caregivers in making decisions on your behalf in the future.
Alzheimer's Disease Caregiving
From retirement communities to board-and-care to skilled nursing facilities, there are many Alzheimer's disease care options to think about, each with their own set of pros and cons. Get the details on places that provide care for people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia so that you can develop a better idea of what might be right for your loved one and your family.

Re: How to secure a baby
Ok, When I said "always" in a PFD I wasn't really thinking about down in the cabin. The law around here (and I suppose most places) exempts children in the cabin from wearing PFDs and I have to assume there's a reason (I suppose if a child is in the cabin when the boat goes down, the PFD will do very little to protect them). I was envisioning the cockpit when I was saying that.
And yes, my child always wears a PFD on the docks. We have one similar to the ones that are pictured, although now that she's 30 lbs I need to find a new one.
I disagree that the main point of a PFD, especially for a small child, is to make body recovery easier. If a child falls overboard, whether that's off the deck of the boat or off a dock, a PFD will keep the child from sinking and make it easier to quickly retrieve the child out of the water. Hopefully within seconds. I have lived in (and swam in and boated in - though not sailed in) the pacific northwest my entire life and I am painfully aware of how quickly hypothermia sets in. A typical PFD will do nothing for that except hopefully make it easier for someone to pull you out of the water before it happens.
A car seat will not float with a baby strapped inside it. I am positive it will sink. I spend a lot of time with car seats because I'm a certified car seat tech, and although I admit I haven't thrown a lot of car seats in the water (hmm... maybe I've just found a new use for expired/crashed seats - mythbuster style!) I am quite familiar with their construction and I can't think of any except maybe one that *might* have a chance of not dragging your child into the depths immediately. The amount of foam in a car seat, if present at all, is NOT enough to keep it buoyant, I am sure. Even in a cabin I am very concerned about something that will make a child sink even faster, and make the child even harder to pull back to the surface quickly, than the child would with no floatation device at all.
There has GOT to be some kind of solution for keeping an infant from bouncing around the cabin that doesn't involve using heavy-duty straps and buckles (which, by design are a bit difficult to unfasten) to strap the child to something heavy that will sink like a rock. And if there isn't, perhaps it's time to invent something and market it.

By James Slater: As fans have probably read, legendary boxing Trainer of Champions, Angelo Dundee recently sat down with WBA heavyweight champ David Haye and gave the 30-year-old some of his sage advice ahead of Haye's July 2nd mega-fight with Wladimir Klitschko. Working at Dundee's world renowned 5th Street Gym in Miami, Haye had his July 2nd game-plan "tweaked" by the 89-year-old Hall of Famer.
Haye spoke briefly about his chat(s) with Dundee, and Angelo himself, on Radio 5, spoke further about Haye and his chances against "Dr. Steel Hammer." Not only does Dundee believe Haye will win in July; not only does he feel Haye will win by KO - but the trainer says Haye, with the win, will be elevated into the top-15 all-time heavyweights. High praise indeed, and an opinion that is sure to inspire some serious debate from the fans.
"I saw him when he was training in The 5th Street Gym and he looked as though he belonged there right away," Dundee said of Haye. "It was the first time I had seen him personally and I have been very impressed with the guy. He can box, he can move and he's a well-conditioned kid. He feels at home in The 5th Street Gym. That's important. You need to blend in. David has done that, just like Muhammad Ali did when he first came to that gym.
"David Haye, after he knocks out Wladimir Klitschko, will be in the top-15 all-time heavyweight boxers. Every era has a different great fighter. David Haye belongs to this era."
Is Angelo right? Will Haye, even if he does manage to upset and stop Wladimir in Germany, really be worthy of a place amongst the top-15 heavyweight boxers in history? A Haye win over just one of the Klitschkos would certainly secure him a place in history; especially when the win would be accompanied by Haye's great success as a cruiserweight. But top-15 of all-time as a heavy? After just six fights at the weight? I am willing to bet how many fans will strongly disagree with Dundee's comments.
If, however, Haye sticks around and manages to defeat BOTH Klitschko, then he would be worthy, in my opinion, of being ranked as loftily as Dundee says.
Right now, here are the top-15 greatest heavyweights in my humble opinion:
1: Muhammad Ali.
2: Jack Johnson.
3: Joe Louis.
4: Jack Dempsey.
5: Rocky Marciano.
6: George Foreman.
7: Larry Holmes.
8: Sonny Liston.
9: Joe Frazier.
10: Evander Holyfield.
11: Lennox Lewis.
12: Mike Tyson.
13: Vitali Klitschko.
14: Riddick Bowe.
15: Wladimir Klitschko.
David Haye would be ranked right in the lower section of this list if he were to beat both Klitschkos. Can he do it!?

Crazy News Quiz for Friday, August 21

Q- According to an online dating advice article, the number one food guys should NEVER order on a first date is ___________ ?? A - Soup. The
list can be found here
on the askmen.com website. The top 10 goes like this: 1- soup (messy & no one looks good eating it) 2- salad (she will think you are cheap and finicky) 3- buffalo wings (messy and it's "party food", unsophisticated) 4 - corn on the cob 5 - tacos 6 - lobster 7 - fish sticks (she will think you don't try new foods) 8 - vanilla ice cream (she will think you are boring) 9 - milk 10- Big Mac Here's why Askmen.com says soup is worse than tacos, buffalo wings, or corn on the cob for first date fare:
First rule of thumb: You never want to eat more or less courses than your date. For example, if she gets an appetizer, then you should also get an appetizer (sharing is also acceptable). Same goes for soup or salad. There is nothing more uncomfortable than watching someone eat while trying to have a conversation. If you are ordering a first course, avoid every type of soup. Soup is never a good idea on a first date. It's messy, it's hot and it's incredibly hard to eat while maintaining any semblance of coolness. Ever tried to look smooth while shoving ice cubes in your mouth because the top of your mouth is singed? The combo of slumping over and slurping is not a good look. Don't you dare pick up and sip from that bowl. What she will think of you: She will think you don't care about how you look in front of others. If you are willing to sip, slurp, singe, and spill on a first date, imagine how you'll act the first time you meet her friends or parents.

On receiving allegations against IAS officer C. Umashankar that he possessed assets "disproportionate to known sources of his income," wherein prima facie material was available, the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) was requested to conduct a detailed enquiry and submit a report, the State government has submitted before the Madras High Court.
The submission was made in its counter to a writ petition filed by the IAS officer seeking to forbear authorities from conducting any enquiry against him.
The counter filed on behalf of the Chief Secretary and the Public and Rehabilitation Secretary, D. Jothi Jagarajan, stated that if the enquiry revealed no basis for the allegations and the DVAC's report was accepted by the authorities, the proceedings would be dropped.
If it revealed prima facie material, it was for the authorities to take a decision on whether to initiate criminal proceedings under the Prevention of Corruption Act or initiate disciplinary proceedings under the All India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules.
The enquiry was purely for fact-finding. The petitioner could not claim any immunity when prima facie material was available. It was not correct for the petitioner to find "imaginary reasons of malicious nature," for his transfers and use them to stall the enquiry.
The petitioner had denied appointment to the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), DVAC, and not furnished details of his assets to him. He had, therefore, contravened All India Services (Conduct) rules and was liable for disciplinary action. To evade this he had filed the writ petition, the counter said.
In a separate counter, the DSP, S. Thirunavukarasu, submitted that a detailed enquiry was ordered by the government in accordance with laid down procedure. He was entrusted the job of conducting it as per the DVAC Manual. It could not be termed illegal.
Keywords: disproportionate assets

Just looking at all the same info everyone else is. Dan has said that there will be new stuff in October, Wishy has even said there are big things in the works that they can't talk about. This, coupled with what happened over at Turbine with roughly the same timeframe and circumstances and the fact that Perfect World is a major player in the F2P market, just seems to scream, "STO is going Free to Play in October".
But wait, isn't the Foundry still broken?
Sorry for the thread derailment.

In the days before Easter, when eggs dunked in dyes and decked out in holiday pastels take the spotlight, it's easy to lose sight of the creative possibilities that lie inside the shell.
If we break a fresh egg, separate out the yolk, and whip some sugar and air into the egg white, we create meringue, the stuff that countless dreamy desserts are made of.
Meringue gets top billing on lemon meringue pie and baked Alaska. It's also a crucial building block of any number of dishes, adding air and lightness to everything from cakes to soufflés to mousses.
But egg-white based desserts can achieve lofty heights in their own right. From delicate angel food cakes to the crispy baked meringue of cookies, schaum tortes and Pavlova, egg-white based desserts offer a range of textures. And many recipes are gluten-free and fat-free, too.
While meringue recipes, with their few ingredients, appear simple, making meringues can be tricky. Just a speck of yolk, for example, can keep the foamy egg whites from reaching their full potential.
As food scientist Shirley O. Corriher puts it in "CookWise" (William Morrow and Company Inc., 1997): "Nearly everything matters when you prepare an egg white foam."
That "everything" includes your equipment, the humidity in your kitchen, the eggs themselves and, especially, your technique for whipping the egg whites.
"The biggest problem is that people tend to overbeat them," says Dave Schmidt, chief executive officer of the Wisconsin Bakers Association.
His advice: "Make sure the bowl is cold and the egg white is cold."
This is contrary to the instruction in many cookbooks to separate eggs while they're cold but to let the egg whites come to room temperature before beating them. But it's an approach that served Schmidt well when he made countless schaum tortes, blitz tortes and angel food cakes at Militzer's Bakery in Milwaukee in the 1970s.
The cold start will slow things down and prevent overbeating, Schmidt says.
Deb Socha, a certified master baker who is the instructor of baking and pastry arts at Milwaukee Area Technical College, agrees that the making of meringue is no time to rush.
"Never whip on high speed," she says. She recommends an electric mixer's medium setting. "You're trying to get the egg whites to expand, and if you do that too fast, you create a foundation that could collapse."
Socha adds that timing is everything when it comes to adding the sugar to the foamy egg whites.
"One of the worst mistakes is adding the sugar too soon - or too late. You have to know just the right time to add the sugar," she says. "It's kind of like the Three Bears."
It's too soon to add the sugar when the egg whites are still frothy. At that point, the beaten egg whites look "like a head of beer," Socha explains. "There's liquid under it."
The just-right phase begins when the entire mixture has been whipped and appears white all the way through.
Within this just-right phase are the soft peak and stiff peak stages frequently cited in recipes. A soft peak will curl under when the beater is lifted, while a stiff peak will stay straight up or curl only slightly.
Eggs are overbeaten when the mixture becomes so stiff you can cut it with a knife, Socha says. At this point, the egg whites start breaking down into small clumps, a stage professionals call curdling.
Socha likens the process to inflating a balloon. If you add too much air, it breaks.
Beaten egg whites have a couple of arch enemies. One is humidity. As no less an authority than Julia Child advised in "Baking With Julia" (La Carte Communications Inc., 1996): "Don't even think about baking meringues on a humid day. They'll be as sticky as the weather."
Another nemesis: grease or fat, whether it's a residue on your bowl or beaters or a bit of egg yolk in the mix.
Socha recommends the three-bowl method for separating eggs: one for catching the egg white during the separating process, one for the egg whites that have passed careful inspection, and one for the yolks.
To make sure your bowl, beater and utensils are scrupulously clean, Socha suggests swishing around a mixture of warm water and about a teaspoon of salt inside the bowl with the utensils inside. Some cookbooks suggest vinegar in place of the salt. Either way, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Many experts favor copper bowls. Because of a chemical reaction between copper and the protein in egg whites, meringues prepared in copper bowls are more stable and more forgiving, Corriher writes.
Socha adds that stainless steel and glass bowls are also excellent choices. But never use plastic, which can harbor grease no matter how carefully you clean it.
Socha advises substituting superfine sugar for granulated sugar. The beating process is aimed at creating air bubbles, and a coarser sugar can break down those bubbles, causing it to become a liquid. She attributes the beads of moisture often seen on the meringue on lemon pie to sugar that is too coarse.
Many recipes call for adding either cream of tartar, which is a mildly acidic salt made from grapes, or vinegar to stabilize the egg whites.
That's fine, Socha says. "But the type of sugar you use is more important."
If a recipe calls for vanilla or other flavorings, Socha advises beating them in at the end to avoid interfering with the development of the egg whites.
Keep in mind that egg whites wait for no baker.
"Don't start mixing the meringue until you're ready to use it," Socha says. "It will break down on you really fast."
Both egg whites and egg yolks can be frozen for later use, Socha says. She adds that egg yolks won't freeze solid.
You can use this basic recipe for everything from individual schaum tortes to piecrust to Pavlova. It's all a matter of how you shape it.
Basic Meringue
Makes 6 to 8 servings
3 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
¾ cup superfine sugar
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Generously butter a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan, or line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In mixer bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add cream of tartar and sugar. Beat until stiff and glossy.
Gently spread in pie plate fully over the edge or spread in springform pan. Or shape into individual meringues or a free-form round on parchment-lined sheet by using a spoon to create an 8- to 9-inch round with a slight indentation.
Bake in preheated oven 1 hour until golden. Turn off oven. Open door slightly and let rest in oven 1 hour.
The recipe for these light, crunchy cookies is adapted from Epicurious.com.
Chocolate or Vanilla Meringue Stars
Makes about 30 cookies
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup superfine sugar (divided)
1 large egg white, at room temperature 30 minutes
Pinch of cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sift cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons sugar. Set aside.
Beat egg white with cream of tartar and salt at medium-high speed until it just holds soft peaks. Add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, a little at a time, beating. Then increase speed to high and beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks. Fold in reserved cocoa and sugar gently but thoroughly.
Transfer meringue to pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Dab some meringue under corners of parchment to secure sheets if necessary. Pipe 1-inch-wide stars (1 inch high) about ½ inch apart.
Bake in preheated oven until dry, crisp and firm, 1 ½ to 2 hours. (Meringues are done when they release from parchment.)
Turn off oven and cool meringues in oven with door propped open about ½ inch, using handle of a wooden spoon, 1 hour, then slide parchment with meringues onto racks to cool completely.
To make vanilla meringues: Omit cocoa powder. Fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with the second 2 tablespoons sugar.
To prepare chocolate and vanilla stars at the same time: Place one sheet on upper rack of oven and one on lower or middle rack and switch halfway through baking.
Egg whites are the only leavening in angel food cakes. While angel food cake mixes abound, this raspberry version is special enough to make it worth the extra effort. This recipe is from "The New Basics Cookbook" by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins (Workman Publishing, 1989).
Raspberry Angel Food Cake
Makes 16 servings
10 egg whites
1 ¼ teaspoons cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups superfine sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup cake flour
1 cup fresh raspberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In large bowl with electric mixer, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until they form soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff but not dry, and shiny. Beat in extracts.
Sift flour onto egg whites and sprinkle raspberries over the top. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in flour and raspberries.
Spoon mixture into ungreased 10-inch tube pan, and bake until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
Invert pan onto cake rack and cool completely. Loosen cake around edges and remove from pan.
This sauce is delicious over the angel food cake or over baked meringues. The recipe is adapted from "The New York Times Cookbook" by Craig Claiborne (Harper & Row, 1990).
Raspberry Sauce
Makes about 3 cups
2 packages (12 ounces each) frozen raspberries, thawed
¾ to 1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Chambord or cognac (optional)
In medium saucepan, combine raspberries with ¾ cup sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Press raspberries through strainer to remove seeds. Add more sugar if desired.
Mix cornstarch with lemon juice. Return raspberry puree to pan, bring to a boil and stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in liqueur if desired.
This rich and creamy sauce takes whipped cream up a notch. Serve it over individual schaums with the raspberry sauce or with juicy sugared strawberries. The recipe comes from "CookWise" by Shirley O. Corriher (William Morrow, 1997).
Mascarpone Cream
Makes about 2 ½ cups
½ cup mascarpone
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup whipping cream
Whisk together mascarpone and honey and set aside. In medium bowl, whip cream to soft peaks. Fold mascarpone mixture into whipped cream. Chill until ready to serve.
These cookies offer the irresistible pairing of raspberry and chocolate. If you don't like chocolate, you can omit the chips.
Raspberry Kisses
Makes about 6 dozen
3 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 ½ tablespoons raspberry-flavored gelatin powder (not sugar-free)
¾ cup superfine sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Beat egg whites with salt until white and foamy throughout. Gradually add gelatin and sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes. Fold in vinegar and chocolate chips.
Drop from teaspoon or pipe from cookie press fitted with large star tip onto lined baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven 25 minutes. (If baking both at the same time, switch rack positions halfway through. However, second pan of cookies will be fine sitting out until the oven is free.) Allow cookies to remain in turned-off oven an additional 20 minutes.

The U.S. in Mali: Sniping from behind?
- By Kori SchakeKori Schake is a fellow at the Hoover Institution and contributor to Foreign Policy's Shadow Government blog.
We have a problem in Mali: an al Qaeda franchise has taken over most of the country. President Obama only two days ago recommitted the United States to "combat[ing] the scourge of terrorism in the region." An American ally has been working tirelessly to bring the United Nations forward, provide a political solution, organize countries in the region to provide troops, and take the lead in operations. It would seem a perfect illustration of the Obama Doctrine: U.N. mandate, regional buy-in, leadership by an American ally, the United States one contributor among many.
And oh, by the way, the military coup that overthrew a democratic government in Mali, setting off the instability that enabled al Qaeda to prey on the country? That coup was the work of military officers and units trained by the United States. The fighters mowing across the country in conjunction with al Qaeda are veterans of the war in Libya, armed with weapons looted there. They are part of the widespread insecurity that Libya's transition has spawned and U.S. policy has done nothing to attenuate. So we bear some culpability for the terror engulfing Mali. And it is in our security interest — and in the interest of the administration's vision for the new international order — to stamp it out.
And yet our ambassador to the United Nations publicly described the French plan as "crap," and delayed U.N. action for weeks. When France commenced military operations to prevent the al Qaeda franchise from overrunning Mali's capital, the Obama administration demanded payment for any military support provided. Ten days into the operation. U.S. officials haven't even decided whether to make requested air-to-air refueling sorties available for French planes. "This is a deliberate effort to consult with the French to assess how best we can support them in the context of support provided by other countries," said Pentagon spokesman George Little.
That's not leading, even from behind. That's undercutting your allies.
It's also incredibly damaging to the United States, even on the terms the Obama administration itself espouses. The White House wants our country to step back from unilateral actions, to have a share but not the lion's share of the work. That requires others to be both willing and able to step forward.
Our European allies have twice in the past couple of years shown themselves willing to lead military operations when we would not. In neither Libya nor Mali has the Obama administration denied that we have an interest in achieving the objectives for which our allies fought, and are fighting. So we agree it needs doing, we just don't want to do it.
Europe has several of the world's most capable militaries; not just Britain and France, but also Denmark, Norway, Poland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and others have all acquitted themselves admirably. But even those militaries lack outright or run short of some of the things that Americans take for granted in our operations: persistent surveillance of battlefields, reliable communications, rapid identification and targeting, the ability to strike promptly, transportation to deploy troops and equipment, precision-guided munitions to minimize unintended casualties, air-to-air refueling to enable strikes from great distances and repeated passes at targets.
That Europeans don't have these "enablers" in sufficient supply is their own fault. They chose to spend their money differently, predictably reducing military prowess and increasing the risk of failure. They mostly ignored decades of American pleading and NATO initiatives to boost defense spending, from the percentage rules of the Carter administration to the current incarnation of "smart defense." And they often spoke of their cultural superiority in spending money on social programs rather than militarism, even while they depended on our militarism. There is in some quarters a smug satisfaction about the Europeans finally realizing what we've been trying to tell them for so long.
But indulging that schadenfreude is unworthy of us. We want a world in which countries that share our values act to protect and promote those values; otherwise, the hard work all accrues to us. We want allies that see the right and take responsibility for acting to advance it.
Why not expect the Europeans to pay for what they need, especially when the United States borrows 30 cents of every dollar that our own government spends? The Obama administration isn't wrong to try and shift the burden-sharing toward Europeans. But there is a time for negotiating the terms of support to allies. That time is not when they are undertaking a military operation with goals that we support — nor even when they are undertaking a military operation we don't think is a good idea.
Denying support in extremis leaves scars — as Americans well know (Turkey denying us search-and-rescue operations from their territory during the Iraq war, France denying us their airspace during the El Dorado Canyon attacks on Libya, Belgium threatening to close its ports to us in 2003). Our own experience as an ally often in need of support even when governments oppose our policies ought to make us more, not less, willing to help when it counts most.
The French defense establishment had the grace to be embarrassed by their government's choices in 2003. The Obama Pentagon has not expressed similar embarrassment, either with regard to Mali or generally. It is from the Pentagon that the demand for reimbursement emanated. Nor is the fault confined to political civilians. Gen. Martin Dempsey has said the United States did not want to be complicit in any Israeli strike on Iran. If I were in Tehran, I would interpret that to mean we would deny Israel assistance. Denying France assistance now will reinforce the perception — both among allies and enemies — that U.S. allies are on their own.
The Obama Doctrine depends critically on others stepping forward and undertaking the work we are stepping back from. There will be fewer allies willing to do that if we continue to be stingy with our help and generous with our criticism

Stained Glass art restored at historic chapel
artists reconstruct window at Camp Pendleton landmark
What: Chapel at the Santa Margarita Ranch House National Historic Site
Where: Vandegrift Boulevard and Basilone Road, Camp Pendleton
Tours of Chapel and historic site: (760) 725-5758 or firstname.lastname@example.com
The chapel served women Marines in the 1940s and within a few years became the first official Base Chapel for all service members. The building is believed to have once had been the home of Pio Pico, the last governor of Mexican California and served as a winery in the 1800s run by Mission San Luis Rey. Later it was used as a blacksmith shop before being converted into a chapel.
The $3,500 restoration project was funded by longtime ranch house docent Bettye Burns in honor of her late husband, Donald Snow Burns through the Donegan-Burns Foundation and was overseen by the Santa Margarita y Las Flores Docents as one of the preservation efforts of the base Museums Division.

The Delhi Cabinet on Thursday approved constitution of 4th Delhi Finance Commission and de-commissioning of Indraprastha thermal power station from October 31. It also gave its nod for appointment of nine district-level full-time secretaries along with ancillary staff in the District Legal Service Authority.
Addressing the media following the meeting, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said the 4th Delhi Finance Commission would be headed by a chairman and two members including a member secretary. The Commission has been requested to submit its recommendations along with action taken report during the Budget Session in February and March 2011. Basically the Commission has been given a time of 15 months in the first instance. The recommendations would be applicable for five years commencing from April 1, 2011.
The main terms of reference of the Commission include distribution between the Delhi Government and the municipalities of the net proceeds of the taxes, tolls and fees levied by the Delhi Government; determination of taxes, duties, tolls and fees which may be assigned to the municipalities; grants-in-aid to the municipalities from the consolidated fund of the Delhi Government; to recommend measures needed to improve the financial position of the municipalities, study the scope for economy in municipal administration, the scope for improvement in resource mobilisation by the municipalities, analyse the tax efforts made by the municipalities and review the functions assigned to the municipalities.
While making its recommendations, the Commission would have to consider the overall resource position of the Delhi Government and the requirements of the municipal bodies for modernisation of administration.
The Cabinet also decided to de-commission the coal-based IP power station of IPGCL on October 31. The normal life of a coal-based generating station is 25 years and the units of this station have outlived their designed life.
The Central Electricity Authority had recommended for de-commissioning of these units on account of un-economical operation owing to high fuel consumption. Incidentally, the Cabinet had on May 7, 2007, approved de-commissioning of IP station and shutting down the plant and subsequently disposing of the plant and machinery of the existing station.
However, the Department of Power had decided to run the plant till October 31, 2009, to meet the higher demand of summer months. Since the dedicated power station at Dadri would now make available power to the Capital, it has therefore been decided to de-commission the IP station.
Ms. Dikshit said the Cabinet had also approved creation of 36 posts in different pay scales for nine District Legal Service Authorities as most of the States and Union Territories in the country have already created posts of secretaries along with ancillary staff. One of the primary functions of the District Legal Service Authority is to organise Lok Adalat and to coordinate the activities of Legal Services Committees and other legal services in the district.

Susan Kuchinskas | April 4, 2012 | Comments
Samsung AdHub signals desire among device manufacturers to snag digital content revenue.
Samsung Electronics yesterday said it would work with OpenX Technologies to create a new private advertising exchange specifically for global mobile inventory, signaling a growing desire among device manufacturers to snag digital content revenue.
The Samsung AdHub Market, expected to launch in the second half of 2012, will be available to advertisers that want to advertise on mobile apps on Samsung phones and tablets. In addition to serving third-party app developers, Samsung owns and operates some apps that will make inventory available.
Daniel Knapp, head of advertising research for IHS Screen Digest, said, "It's not surprising that they are trying to move from hardware manufacturing to monetizing through advertising, as well. In fact, you could wonder why other TV manufacturers aren't venturing into that space."
Earlier this year, Samsung formally launched its Samsung AdHub for SmartTV advertising. There are no immediate plans to connect the AdHub for phones and tablets to the SmartTV platform, an OpenX spokesman said, but it's possible that the deal will expand to encompass SmartTVs.
Knapp sees the latest exchange as part of a multiple screen strategy for Samsung.
"If you want to be serious about mobile advertising, you have to have multiple devices. It doesn't make sense to just occupy one device or one screen. And Samsung is in a much better position than other TV manufacturers because it's in so many different screens. Taken all together, this becomes a very valuable advertising proposition."
Nevertheless, Knapp found it surprising that Samsung is focusing on real-time bidding. While RTB exchanges have helped online publishers optimize inventory and price, Knapp pointed out that there isn't excess, non-premium inventory in mobile.
Luxury brands are some of the biggest spenders on mobile advertising, he said, but their campaigns tend to be customized for premium placements.
"There's still so much opportunity in the premium and bespoke levels of mobile," Knapp said. "Further down the line, this makes sense."
There are already plenty of mobile ad exchanges. In March 2011, mobile marketing technology provider Velti launched mGage using assets it acquired through the purchase of Mobclix. It also provides white label exchanges to let publishers, agencies, networks, and media companies create private marketplaces. In December, Nexage opened its own private mobile exchangefor premium publishers and app developers.
And then there's the Google's AdMob-powered exchange, already delivering ads to the same Android devices that Samsung will target.
"Samsung turns into Google's frenemy," Knapp said. "And Google is obviously trying more aggressively to monetize than Apple, which can rely on high hardware revenue."
While Knapp sees little evidence yet of consumers cutting the cable cord in numbers, he said, "I see mobile as a puzzle piece in a wider strategy of having a direct content relationship with consumers through IP-based content, as gate keepers are falling away in the legacy industries. Or at least, that's the hope."
