Texan Wins The Great 4th Annual Chelem Chili-Cook Off
Evidently, Barbara Bell has the chili-cooking secret that the entire world longs for because she has won the Annual Chelem Chili-Cook Off for the second time! Runner up was Katie Gildersleeve, of Yucatan Coast Real Estate and the Sand Castle Inn. This annual event is a fundraiser for the Chelem Christmas Dreams Toy Drive and each of these ladies donated their cash prizes back to the Christmas fund. With an admission of only $150 pesos, the event raised $10,800 pesos, which exceeds their goal. Congratulations to Barbara and to Katie – and to everyone who participated in and attended the Great 4th Annual Chelem Chili-Cook Off. Special thanks to la Playa de Chelem for hosting this event. If you would like to make a donation to this worthy project, visit Chelem Christmas Dreams.
Domestic Tourism Growing in Yucatan
Beginning December 15 and continuing through early January, hotel occupancy in Merida is expected to be at approximately 85%, with many of those visitors coming by car from other parts of Mexico. When the overall tourism numbers for the year are calculated, it is expected that the annual hotel occupancy rate will end up being approximately 55%. With 2012 soon to be upon us, we expect that all areas of the tourism industry in Yucatan will do well over the next year. After that, it will just be a matter of keeping the momentum going. We certainly welcome all of our visitors and are certain they will have a wonderful time in Yucatan.
Green Solutions Fair in D.F.: Ideas Whose Time Has Come
There's a Green Solutions Fair going on right now in Mexico City and some of the new products being shown there sound as if they can, and will, have a huge positive impact on our environment. The product that impresses us more than any other is a disposable cloth diaper that can be washed up to 600 times before it needs to be thrown away. The company started in Guanajuato with start-up capital of just $30,000 pesos. Now, it has operations in Canada, the U.S., Italy and Spain, and is still expanding. The company's name is Ecopipo and it is looking for investors. The amount of money these diapers will save for consumers, as well as a significant reduction in stress on landfills, makes Ecopipo's eco-friendly cloth diaper one of the best investments we've heard of in a long time. The same is true of Concreto Ecologico de Mexico's permeable concrete that facilitates rainwater recovery, and Carbon Diversion America Latina's new system that turns the agave biomass leftover from tequila-making into a firewood substitute and other fuels. There are more than 115 companies showing their new eco-friendly products in Mexico City. If all receive funding, and we hope they do, the world could soon be a much more environmentally safe place in which to live.
Mexico's Economy Continues to Grow
One of the best pieces of news we received this week was that Mexico's economy is currently growing at 5.5% annually, at the end of the third quarter, and will likely end the year at growth of a solid 4%. However, it is what's behind that growth that is the good news. In spite of the worst drought in 70 years, and in spite of the violence in some areas of some states, it is domestic demand and an increase in agricultural production that are driving growth in the Mexican economy. This means there are jobs, and good jobs, in Mexico – and that the middle class is continuing to grow. This also means that small businesses are thriving and that the resources Mexico put toward technical school educations has been some of the best money the country has ever spent. This isn't to say that Mexico is without its problems, but it is surely better to have the solvable problems related to growth than the heart-breaking problems of failure. We look forward to this pattern of growth continuing well into the future.
France Comes to O'Horan
A brand new, five-year program has just begun between O'Horan Hospital, UADY and the Hospital Center at the University of Toulouse, France. The purpose of the program is to improve management processes and services at O'Horan. The first six months will be spent training O'Horan employees. After that, monitoring and evaluation will continue for five years. This is great news for the hospital and its patients, but its also great news for many students at UADY because this program will also work hand-in-hand with UADY's specialized academic schools of Accounting and Administration, as well as Medical and Industrial Engineering Logistics. France has always been such a good friend to Yucatan and never more so than in the past two years. We look forward to these new programs and hope that many new natives of France come to visit and live here.
Traditional Medicine Seminars Concluded
Over the course of the past five months, there have been four traditional medicine seminars held for the purpose of rescuing this valuable resource. The really nice thing about this program is that it promotes the rescue of traditional medicine among indigenous practitioners. To see what kinds of medicinal products they have, as well as health and beauty products, visit Herbolaria Maya online. These are all natural products that are made in Yucatan and sold right here in Merida, as well as online. We think traditional medicine has an important place in maintaining health and would like to hear from any of our members who use a traditional medicine service or product.
International Post-Graduate Research Conference
Last Friday, UADY opened the First International Conference on Post-Graduate Research and Development. The first sessions were concerned with research incentives, as well as with dissertation development. The keynote address was by Medardo Serna Gonzalez, president of the Consejo Mexicano de Posgrado, who discussed skills, as well as scientific and technological challenges in Mexico. Later sessions are to cover such topics as the problems of small- and medium-sized businesses, gender issues, and social responsibility. We have been watching the research choices of Yucatan's graduate and post-graduate students for some years now and have come to the conclusion that these young people leave no stone unturned when it comes down to making certain that their research is of benefit to not only Yucatecos, but to the planet and every living thing that struggles to survive here. It is conferences like this that make all the difference in these students' success. They are organized. They know what they are doing and they are headed for the future in a straight line.
Butterflies in Yucatan: New DNA Analysis
Gone are the days when butterflies and moths could be identified by their appearance. Now, a new form of DNA analysis, called barcoding, is being used to double check butterfly DNA identity. There are 570 species of Nymphalidae in Mexico, with 121 of them from right here on the Yucatan Peninsula. Findings now show that there are actually four new and different butterflies in the Nymphalidae family that had been incorrectly identified just here in the State of Yucatan alone. One already has a new name. Finding that some of these butterflies that look alike are not of the same species is a huge event that could lead to all sorts of interesting revisions in theories of evolution. Personally, we hope the renewed interest leads to a Yucatan Butterfly Festival. To learn more about butterflies in Yucatan, we recommend taking a trip out to La Casa de Las Mariposas, between Tulum and Coba, or the Butterfly Pavilion at Xcaret, or the Butterfly Garden at Chichen Itza. You can also visit Backyard Nature to see pictures of many of the most common butterflies in our area. But the best idea, for those who live in Yucatan, is to plant your own butterfly garden. Don't forget to add a water source. Then you can just sit back and enjoy the show.
The 2011 Bird-a-thon "xoc ch'ich"
The TOH Bird Festival has a number of parts to it and activities that stretch out over several months. In order to see them all, we recommend that birders study the official TOH Bird Festival website. But this past weekend saw the 2011 Bird-a-thon "xoc ch'ich" . With up to a billion birds traveling through or wintering on the Yucatan Peninsula, this bird-a-thon is a chance of a lifetime to identify as many birds as possible and help ensure their future. For everyone who wants to see what this bird-a-thon is all about, we are including the official 2011 Bird-a-thon "xoc ch'ich" video. There is also a great new article online, by travel writer Kevin Rushby, who took his family to Celestun and saw more birds than he could keep up with. We hope you enjoy each of these links and make plans to be with us in Yucatan for this important event in 2012.
Recipe: Easy Egg Custard from Yucatan
As we grow older, we find that we are more and more interested in recipes that make us look brilliant to guests, but require as little actual work as possible. Then we found "Sabores Yucatecos: A Culinary Tour of the Yucatán," a new cookbook, in English, written by Gilberto Cetina, Yucateco chef and owner of Chichen Itza Restaurant in Los Angeles, in collaboration with food writer Katharine A. Diaz. There is a Spanish custard recipe in that cookbook that fits perfectly into the no-work category. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Crema Española (Spanish Custard)
"Sabores Yucatecos: A Culinary Tour of the Yucatán," (WPR Books: Comida, 2012)
Serves about 6
3 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Ground cinnamon
Beat the milk, sugar, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla extract and pinch of salt until well blended, but not do not over mix.
Pour into a pot and heat over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, mixing constantly until it thickens but can still be poured. Pour into individual serving dishes (or one large bowl to serve family style) and chill.
When ready to serve, sprinkle lightly with ground cinnamon.

Finding the perfect bridesmaid dress is sometimes a tall order. On top of all the things to keep track of when it comes to planning your wedding, the bridesmaid dress can be tough because you want to not only please your bridal party, but pick something current and beautiful. If you are having trouble finding the perfect bridesmaid dress, use these simple tips to help make the experience what it should be; fun and exciting.
Take Your Time
When it comes to finished the perfect bridesmaid dress, the earlier you start the better. In order to fulfill your needs and please the bridal party, take as many trips to the dress shop as possible. You never know what you're going to find, and the earlier you start the more time you will have to make the decision. When it comes to finding a custom bridesmaid dress, you want to give yourself as much time as possible to "mull things over". The earlier you start looking, the more time you have think it through and make a decision. Last minute shopping sprees of any time increase stress and often lead to irrational decisions that can be avoided by freeing up a little extra time in the beginning of your wedding planning process.
Put Your Bridesmaids to Work
If you want to get fun and creative with your bridesmaids, inspire a little friendly competition by asking them each to find you the best custom bridesmaid dress. The reward will be that the one you like the most is the one that gets chosen. Depending on how many bridesmaids you have, you may end up more than pleasantly surprised. Your bridal party will be more than willing to go above and beyond, and will be motivated by the fact that if they win, they get to wear the dress that they picked out. Make sure you discuss with them sizes, colors and styles before you send them on their hunt. This will prevent anyone from wasting their time or picking out something that is blatantly wrong for the ceremony. The worst case scenario is that you don't pick any of the dresses, but even if this happens you still got a lot of inspired ideas to work from.
Have Fun
The most important thing to remember (yes you may actually have to remind yourself) is to have fun. Without having fun, you lose sight of the entire purpose and forget why you are shopping for bridesmaid dresses in the first place. If at first you don't succeed, pour a glass of wine and try again. Finding the perfect bridesmaid dress should be a fun and memorable experience that you and your girlfriends look back on fondly for the rest of your lives.

2 tablespoons
1 pound
sea scallops, rinsed and drained
1 small
onion, finely chopped
1/2 pound
mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 clove
garlic, minced
2 medium
tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup
dry white wine
2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
chopped dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon
dried rosemary
1 pinch
white pepper
1/4 pound
frozen, small, cooked shrimp
2 teaspoons
white wine vinegar
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
My husband called this one of my best recipes yet! I made a few changes: Substituted 1/4 cup Italian dressing for the wine; substituted 2 tbsp tomato paste and 1/4 cup water for the ketchup; skipped the tarragon and vinegar. I served it over spaghetti, and it is definitely a family favorite!
Just passable for us. Left out the vinegar and used a nice Tuscan seasoning blend for the rosemary and tarragon. The whole tomato/onion/mushroom/herbs thing was just too much going on for the mild and delicate shrimp and scallops, and they kind of got "lost in the show." Also, didn't care for the small, cooked shrimp. Would have liked to have seen larger, chunkier pieces. Served this with Sarah's Rice Pilaf but it was just a ho-hum meal.
39 Ratings
This was really good. I did double the recipe for 4 people. They were really hungry! Will make this one again.
Tried this again w/o the shrimp and still a great recipe
Used tomato sauce instead of ketchup, added fresh basil... delicious!
Very good, I changed it up a bit and used tomato sauce instead of ketchup and added italian seasoning mix. I served it with grilled zuchini and squash.
Great recipe! I think next time i will have to add more colour (asparagus perhaps) and a little bit more spice. Other than that, this is a wonderfull tasty recipe!
Absolutely delecious! I used a higher end white blend wine that included Gewurztraminer. The sweetness of the Gewurz added a whole new level of flavor. I also used fresh basil instead of tarrogon (didn't have it!) and fresh rosemary.
I absolutely Loved this!! I only changed butter to olive oil. It was delicious! I sprinkled a little parm on top!! Rave reviews from the family! ;) Thanks!

Arthur Destroys Florenceville-Bristol Bridge
The bridge between Florenceville-Bristol and Bath is currently impassable. The land under the bridge gave way during Post-Tropical Storm Arthur, and now the people in both towns have to take a lengthy detour. Bath Deputy mayor Charles McNair says this detour is not just an inconvenience, "The detour which is a twelve kilometer detour is a winding road. On a chip seal service, not designed for the volume of traffic or the weight of traffic that is presently travelling over it."
Traffic that will soon increase because of the potato harvest. McNair says large equipment that usually would take this bridge may now have to take the detour, "It is really going to be a hazard, a major hazard, if they are asked to travel around the detour."
He also says depending on how long the bridge is out, with Carlton North High School located in Florenceville-Bristol, it would be a large increase in traffic every morning. On the other side of the bridge Florenceville-Bristol Mayor Karl Curtis says he is keeping close tabs on the situation, due to the impact on his community, "It's a provincial highway, i mean it really doesn't fall upon us. Because I like to know what is happening because its not something I want closed for three months right, no its a priority and the province is working on it."
Curtis says the process will be lengthy, due to the fact that the river may have to be diverted, It also involves multiple provincial departments. "Fisheries and oceans because of the stream, the department of transportation, I mean they have to bring in engineers to assess the damage, see if the bridge was compromised, see if they have to actually do work to the bridge itself. Or if it is just repairing the on ramp, i guess you could call it that, you know leading up to the bridge but the biggest part is to get the water so the workers can actually do the work," says Mayor Curtis
It seems that though the repairs may take a while and a temporary fix may be required. McNair and others say that they hope at least one lane of traffic will be open soon, to allow some flow of traffic.

New Zealand vice-captain Tim Brown could come into contention for the match against reigning world champions Italy on Sunday.
The Wellington Phoenix midfielder sat out the draw with Slovakia as he only met up with the squad in South Africa last week following surgery on his injured shoulder. Coach Ricki Herbert is pleased with the way Brown is performing in training and said: "He is progressing well.
"You know what players are like. They want to step out tomorrow but Tim is realistic. I am not going to put any pressure on him. If he's positive and comfortable around selection time, he will be considered."

May 17 2010
*Note: Le Creuset winners will be announced shortly!*
During our week in Orlando, my family and I ate in restaurants every day. This is always welcome for a mother of four.
Can you say "no dishes?" Total bliss.
Of all the places we ate, though, Mama Della's was my favorite.
It's a charming, homey, authentic Italian ristorante.
For those of you who don't know, ristorante is Russian for restaurant.
Aren't you glad you have me to explain these things to you?
Oh…it's Italian for restaurant?
Anyway, we arrived at Mama Della's right when they opened for dinner. I wanted to take photos before anyone else arrived so customers wouldn't demand I be escorted off the premises.
And here's Mama. Bless her sweet soul.
Bread. Delicious, soft, warm, crusty bread.
And this. Cloves of roasted garlic in a dish with extra virgin olive oil.
Oh, man. How can something so simple taste so monumental? Just incredible.
The salad was sublime. The dressing was made from:
Olive oil
Roasted garlic
Roasted shallots
Dijon mustard
Balsamic Vinegar
Lemon Juice
What I loved about the dressing was that it was unabashedly sweet. With the balsamic, this was just perfect.
These artichoke hearts killed me. Just killed me. They were stuffed with magical things.
He brought Marlboro Man the most scrumptious lasagna. It made my love beat his chest and yell like Tarzan, it was so good.
Mama ran to the table to make sure he was okay. The service there is awesome!
And he brought me…
He brought me…
Holy everything. Please take a moment. Please. We have a beef fillet, medium rare, topped with a gorgeous lobster tail. Then, underneath it all, a pile of saffron risotto mixed with fresh green peas. THEN…
Between the risotto and the beef is a nice layer of wilted spinach.
Good gracious, was this incredible.
My kids, meanwhile, ate the best macaroni and cheese in God's creation.
And finally…a platter of small delights.
Thank you, Mama Della's! We loved every bite of our dinner.
Can you please send me some of that risotto? C.O.D. is fine.
I'll go ahead and take some more of that tiramisu, too.
And sure, a big vat of the mac and cheese would save me some cooking this week.
I'll be waiting,
Pioneer Woman
(That obnoxious broad with the camera the other night)
Mama Della's is in the Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

Oh man…..my husband would flip! He is Italian, and this place would be his dream come true!
kim On Monday, May 17 at 9:59 am
now i'm hungry! yummy food!
Peggy On Monday, May 17 at 9:59 am
It all looks yummy. I'll take one of each.
Megan (Best of Fates) On Monday, May 17 at 9:59 am
I love that your family ate in that empty restaurant with the owner seeing to your every need – you have officially become the female, blogging Elvis.
It can only get more amazing from here.
Though now I've made the comparison, it might be best to keep an eye on the butter consumption.
Or at least avoid sequined jump suits.
Molly Snipes On Monday, May 17 at 10:00 am
I had dinner there for my junior prom. So yummy!!!
judi mitchell On Monday, May 17 at 10:00 am
oh my! This will certainly on our must-do list when we visit Orlando next month! Thanks for the recommendation!
Leslie On Monday, May 17 at 10:00 am
Completely freaky. . We have the same wallpaper in our dining room! What makes it freaky is that we discovered it in a restaurant in NJ when we lived there.
Everything looks yummy! Glad that you are home and that it was fun for all!
Shauna On Monday, May 17 at 10:01 am
This made my tummy grumble and want to take a trip to Florida. But since it's raining and cold and I don't want to go outside right now, I guess I'll settle for a chicken salad and an ice cream cone.
Rachel @ Crazytown On Monday, May 17 at 10:01 am
OH MY YUMMMMM. I should not look at your site whilst I'm eating oatmeal. Nothing compares. I want it ALL!!! Hubs and I are taking kids to Orlando next summer so maybe I'll get to go check them out.
Leah S On Monday, May 17 at 10:01 am
Nothing there you couldn't do.
Two Barking Dogs On Monday, May 17 at 10:01 am
Hmmmmmm. Steak. Lobster. Lasagna. Chocolate.
Heidi On Monday, May 17 at 10:03 am
I want, I need! Oh my YUM!
Caroline in Tennessee On Monday, May 17 at 10:03 am
Of all the delicious looking food, the TIRAMISU is what got me!. I would give my 2 front teeth…right now, for 1 piece!!
Jess/Towns and Trails On Monday, May 17 at 10:03 am
PW, I love ya. But as a former vegetarian you should know better than to eat an artichoke stuffed with foie gras!
And now I want lobster and mac and cheese. Or lobster mac and cheese.
Clayvessel On Monday, May 17 at 10:05 am
Cannoli. For breakfast. Now.
SOUDA On Monday, May 17 at 10:05 am
Sara On Monday, May 17 at 10:06 am
Thanks, now I'm drooling…
Amy from She Wears Many Hats (missamy) On Monday, May 17 at 10:07 am
Risotto! Yum! That looks like the perfect place to go on our next trip to Orlando. Will definitely be checking it out and will be sure to save room for dessert!
Alyson On Monday, May 17 at 10:08 am
OH MY! That all looks wonderful!!!! I could so devour the roasted garlic/olive oil on bread!!! YUMMY!
the7msnranch On Monday, May 17 at 10:09 am
This post got me wondering – do people recognize you and your family when you're out and about? As in, "Hey, is that PW? It must be…she's taking pictures of her food."
the domestic fringe On Monday, May 17 at 10:09 am
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…you're making me hungry!
Looks like an amazing restaurant.
Kati On Monday, May 17 at 10:10 am
I don't eat beef…but man your dinner looked amazing!
[email protected] On Monday, May 17 at 10:10 am
So that artichoke dish is what you tweeted about earlier? Your twitter picture made it resemble one of the calf nuts you talked about earlier. This photo does it so much more justice.
Di On Monday, May 17 at 10:11 am
I'm not sure 'bliss' accurately describes this post.
Perhaps- "Divine Bliss".
Oh, I dunno.
OK- so I'm a little jealous. It happens!
Steph On Monday, May 17 at 10:11 am
We've eaten there! It is wonderful – so is the hotel. One of my favorites!
Kati in CT On Monday, May 17 at 10:13 am
*mouth drool* And lunch is still 48 minutes away (not that I'm counting or anything…)
Patricia/nyc On Monday, May 17 at 10:15 am
oh.my.goodness…my mouth is a-waterin'!!!
Linda Pardee On Monday, May 17 at 10:16 am
OH MY GOSH!!! Everything looks wonderful, but the beef dish must have come from heaven. All my favorite things on one plate!! I must go there– very soon!.
PJ On Monday, May 17 at 10:16 am
Oh my, that all looks so delicious! Are you going to try & recreate any of it? I want what you had! That fillet & everything that went with it looks so good. My hubby would love the soupy mac & cheese…ok, so would I. I loved the updates & pictures. I'm glad to see that you & yours had a good vacation, despite the trip to the ER. Poor little guy.
Kate (Little Beach Bum) On Monday, May 17 at 10:17 am
YUM! that looks so so good…I'm not going to lie, i think the thing that looks most appetizing to me (and I love Italian food) is the macaroni and cheese! Good Lord, cheese should be illegal. I think I'm going to take my lunch a bit early today!
jordan On Monday, May 17 at 10:17 am
is that your husband in the glasses and vest? I dont think it is, but who else would it be? i'm confused… and want those desserts
Darcie On Monday, May 17 at 10:17 am
You are killing me. Thank you. Now if you will please excuse me while I wipe the drool off my computer.
Marisa (Loser for Life) On Monday, May 17 at 10:18 am
I love that you took photos of the restaurant employees and owner!
I never got to that restaurant on our trip. Now, I be sad
midRae On Monday, May 17 at 10:19 am
Ahhh, fine dining. Bliss.
The closest I get is Panda Express every friday night. Gotta keep my midMan happy.
My Kitchen in the Rockies On Monday, May 17 at 10:22 am
Everything looked wonderful. I would love to have the recipe for the artichoke dish. Did they maybe share it?
nancypants On Monday, May 17 at 10:22 am
Holy night. That looks yummy.
Wishing I could go a week without cooking… but without the bill also. Haha!
Isabella On Monday, May 17 at 10:23 am
Your pictures look gorgeus!! My mouth is watering!
Jackie On Monday, May 17 at 10:23 am
I MUST GO THERE! I am drooling on my keyboard! *giggles*
Erin On Monday, May 17 at 10:26 am
Oh my gosh, I'm ready for lunch right NOW after reading this. Love the homey decor.
DARLA78NY On Monday, May 17 at 10:26 am
Wow , it looks awesome !
Renee On Monday, May 17 at 10:28 am
One of the best parts of traveling is eating… I don't care much about the shopping, but bring me the food and elastic waste band pants
Ingredients of a Woman On Monday, May 17 at 10:28 am
I'm hungry now
Alba H. Rodriguez
tracy purdy On Monday, May 17 at 10:28 am
The place looked great, but I must correct you on one thing. The best Macaroni and Cheese in the universe is from Atlas in Iowa City, Iowa. You should go on your book tour to Prairie Lights (a GREAT bookstore there) and Atlas is right up the block from there. I'm not kidding, you will think you have died and gone to Cheese Heaven!!!!
rebecca On Monday, May 17 at 10:29 am
Wow, that's some good eats for sure!! One of my fave Orlando restaurants in the touristy areas is Emeril's at City Walk. Everything is phenomenal!!! I was an Orlando local though (lived there 3 years) so I tended to eat around the Winter Park area or downtown.
Cowgirl Wannabe On Monday, May 17 at 10:29 am
It was our favorite place too!!!
It is Wicked Awesome!!!
christyapple On Monday, May 17 at 10:29 am
I drooled…on my computer….
THANKS FOR SHARING! Now…please pass me a napkin…I'm drooling again!
Phoebe On Monday, May 17 at 10:31 am
Hey, they painted a German flag on the dessert platter!
I'm vegetarian, but the meat still looks yummy. The mac and cheese however look divine! (As does the dessert, bu that's a whole different chapter)
Ginny On Monday, May 17 at 10:31 am
Oh, your boy and his 'button-every-button' just cracks me up! And, oh my, how we loved Dr.Seuss' special place! I could have stayed all day! (and, I think we did!)
bjdfh On Monday, May 17 at 10:32 am
My next trip to Florida will definetly require a trip to Mama Della's for dinner. We go down often since we have family in the Orlando area.
ashley On Monday, May 17 at 10:32 am
OMG it all looks delish!
Debbie On Monday, May 17 at 10:36 am
Mmmmm….makes me REALLY hungry right now!! Why did I have to start dieting today?! Why?!
Barbara Rocha On Monday, May 17 at 10:38 am
Did you make the kids wait to eat until after you took those pictures??? Hope you were fast!
Scott On Monday, May 17 at 10:38 am
I ate there years ago when we stayed at the Portofino Bay, what a great place to eat and that lasagna is maybe the best I've ever had. Pricey but well worth it and the service was great too.
AGinTO On Monday, May 17 at 10:38 am
Okay seriously…who'd have thought that food could be THAT GOOD on an amusement park resort?!?! My god – we get funnel cakes. And they're good, I'm not complaining…but you got surf n turf on saffron rice?!?
Joanna Waller On Monday, May 17 at 10:40 am
mmmm…looks like it is going to be lasagna in the Waller house tonight the pics look great!!
Robin Johnston On Monday, May 17 at 10:40 am
It's Monday, I am sitting at my desk so hungry, I can smell and taste this food! You did such an amazing job with pictures and descriptions! WHOOHOO!
Angie C. On Monday, May 17 at 10:43 am
Beautiful photos as always…and now I am hungry!
Rhonda On Monday, May 17 at 10:43 am
I live just down the road from the Disney/Universal/SeaWorld mecca and have never been to Mama Della's… shame on me!
MariaV On Monday, May 17 at 10:45 am
Yum! Now I'm hungry for Italian food.
allison @ thesundayflog On Monday, May 17 at 10:45 am
oh dear. that food looks amazing. small italian ristorantes are my weakness. i need that lasagne. if they send it to you, please send me a slice
Leanne On Monday, May 17 at 10:47 am
Hmmm yum! All the food looks so good – even the mac n cheese. I like my mac n cheese like that – lots of cheese…
kitchenpookie On Monday, May 17 at 10:49 am
How fun!
dale-harriet in WI On Monday, May 17 at 10:54 am
Uhm, Mama Della? May I please have one of each (including the chefs)? If I EVER!! manage to get to Orlando for ANYTHING (other than my own funeral, which is more like to be in North Dakota) I am SO going there. And I'm just going to say "I'll have what she had. And all the rest of 'em had. Thank you."
eva On Monday, May 17 at 10:54 am
Oh wow!! what a delicious looking treat!!
Meg at the Members Lounge On Monday, May 17 at 10:54 am
The dressing sounds fabulous! I love roasted garlic and shallots!
Allie On Monday, May 17 at 10:55 am
Oh heavens . . . that all looked divine!! I'm just giggling to myself because if I tried bringing *my* hubby to an Italian place and a chef named "Luca" came out, the poor man would be subjected to all my hubby's 'Godfather' impressions. Hee hee . . . "Leave the gun: take the cannoli."
Clare Jones On Monday, May 17 at 10:55 am
Ooooh I live near Orlando and I've not tried this one… we will go on your recommendation (and of course the pics of the food) Yummo!
Angela On Monday, May 17 at 10:56 am
WOW. (except for the mac and cheese, you can always have my share of that)
What a special treat that must have been! Going out to eat is my favorite thing.
Betsy On Monday, May 17 at 10:56 am
That filet of beef has a distinctive "sous vide" look about it. Do you know how it was cooked?
And did they give you the recipe for that gorgeous stuffed artichoke?
PonyFla On Monday, May 17 at 10:57 am
Thank goodness, my office internet connection doesn't allow links to photo sharing sites. Very few of your photos come through when I visit from here. Saved by the nanny-software! This way, my frozen entree won't disappoint when I head to lunch.
Maranda On Monday, May 17 at 10:58 am
OMG! That all looks delicious! Especially the desserts!
Kristi On Monday, May 17 at 10:58 am
PW, please…please….PUHLEEEZZE do a tutorial on cannoli's! My husband, kids and I would really appreciate it, Thanks!
Untypically Jia On Monday, May 17 at 10:59 am
Saffron risotto? I could cry just trying to imagine it!
Anita On Monday, May 17 at 11:01 am
Oh I would love to go there.Just perfect.
Sandy in Texas On Monday, May 17 at 11:01 am
Okay…that's it! I'm off my diet. I just gained 10 lbs. reading about the food and licking the pictures.
Miss. Pretty On Monday, May 17 at 11:02 am
I love that ristorante! It's one of my faves that you can visit in Orlando. I went there for my 20th Birthday, complete with loud, embarrassing singing brought to me by the LOUD, Italian waiters. fun!
southerngracegourmet On Monday, May 17 at 11:07 am
That place looks great, we will definitely try it soon. There are so many good restaurants on the tourist side of Orlando.
amy2boys On Monday, May 17 at 11:08 am
OH OH – I want that lasagne!! And the mac and cheese on the side! YUM. Also, I want my kitchen eating area to look like that.
Sheli On Monday, May 17 at 11:12 am
This food looks amazing!!!! I'm allergic to shellfish but I think I would risk it for that. I do want to challenge the Mac & cheese claim though. I have tried a lot all over the country and the best is at mike's farm in Back Swamp, NC (yes, Back Swamp). It is to DIE for.
Breezy Scott On Monday, May 17 at 11:13 am
OMG I'm starving! That all looked so yummy!!!
fifi On Monday, May 17 at 11:14 am
How do you roast a shallot? Do you roast it WITH the garlic in olive oil wrapped in foil? I want to make that dressing, and I sense that the roasted shallots are key to the deliciousness.
Julia On Monday, May 17 at 11:16 am
My boyfriend just informed me that he wanted that steak and lobster dish. I can't say I blame him, it does look divine. As does the whole restaurant. I'm just wondering why they put the German flag on their dessert plates. Odd.
Kate On Monday, May 17 at 11:19 am
Aren't you glad you were walking around all day so you could eat this tantalizing food? I'm with the previous commenter….. joyously licking my computer screen. The dachshund is confused……
MAYBELLINE On Monday, May 17 at 11:20 am
Mama Mia!
Sues2u2 On Monday, May 17 at 11:20 am
Waiter! I'll have what she had! Oh, you don't deliver? Dang, now I'll just have to load up the hubby & kids & head down there. yummmmm, but that all looks wonderful!
ELM @ A Family Treehouse On Monday, May 17 at 11:22 am
OH – I've GOT to know how to make that sort of soupy creamy deliciousness called mac and cheese!! That is the yummiest mac and cheese I have ever seen!
Katy R On Monday, May 17 at 11:23 am
I LOVE that restaurant, I went there for my 16th birthday and they played the violin and sang an italian opera song for me, it was awesome! And the food was incredible too!
Kiran On Monday, May 17 at 11:25 am
Wow! Delicious feast
Angie On Monday, May 17 at 11:28 am
I currently wish it wasn't lunchtime and I wasn't hungry … could you do a post on cleaning drool out of a laptop keyboard? Yum!

The grand old game now known as the Orange Bowl has taken on the look of an aging theater: More glamour in the yellowed photos in the lobby from past shows than in the names lately gracing the marquee.
Even fans of Clemson and West Virginia aren't rushing to see the Orange Bowl match-up Wednesday night at Sun Life Stadium. Both schools are coming up well short of selling out their allotments of 17,500 tickets.
The BCS era has stripped much of the luster from the traditional bowls. While there was an element of monotony when the Orange Bowl's former tie to the Big Eight/Big 12 brought Nebraska or Oklahoma year after year, the game usually carried national significance. It produced the national champion five times during the 1990s, and 14 overall.
That can no longer happen with the title decided by the BCS National Championship that follows the major bowls and revolves among the four BCS sites: The 2013 game will be at Sun Life Stadium.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Rapper DMX has been arrested again in South Carolina.
A spokeswoman for the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport says airport police arrested the 42-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Earl Simmons, just after 5 p.m. Monday.
Rosylin Weston says officers familiar with Simmons' previous arrests for driving with a suspended license arrested him after seeing him behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Jail records show Simmons was booked on charges of driving under suspension, having an uninsured vehicle and not having a licensed vehicle. Court records list no attorney for him, and Simmons' spokesman didn't immediately return a message.
This is Simmons' fourth arrest in South Carolina this year. His other charges this year include several charges of driving under the influence and simple possession of marijuana.

Colorado Rockies Hand Out Free Jerseys — With A Typo
By editor
Originally published on Mon July 28, 2014 12:52 pm
Copyright 2014 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer with news of an all-star spelling error. The Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in a home game Saturday night, and fans at Coors Field received replicas of shortstop Troy Tulowitzki's jersey. But the shirts misspelled his last name, omitting the second T. The Rockies apologize; they did notice the error, but decided to give out the jerseys anyway rather than leave fans empty-handed. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Why Have So Few African-Americans Been Elected To The Senate?
By David Welna
Originally published on Thu October 31, 2013 5:01 pm
Former Newark Mayor Cory Booker was sworn in Thursday, making him only the fourth African-American elected by popular vote to the United States Senate, and only the second in the chamber currently. This is in contrast to the 41 blacks who represent House districts.

Looking for Love? Try Facebook (here in Louisville)
by Jesse Rasmussen
posted Feb 18 2014 8:27AM
Good news if you're here in Louisville and looking for love. A new survey done by
The Wall Street Journal
says that Louisville is #3 of cities with the best odds to turn your "Single" status to "In a Relationship". Some are the factors listed for this are strong military and religious communities, being a college town, and an overall good level of fitness and healthy well being. Plus a strong bar scene doesn't hurt either.
In an unrelated story, Facebook now knows when you're going to be in a relationship before you do. This is based upon increased interaction between two people (comments, likes etc). We've all seen this. When a girl starts "liking" everything a guy posts there's a good chance they are going to be starting a relationship of some kind. Wink wink nudge nudge. (btw with all the info about you on the internet. It's very likely that retail outlets like Target know that and more)
And lastly according to an amateur adult website (you know what we're talking about). Kentucky is in the top 5 of most uploaded amateur "flipping pancake" videos. And before you ask, no we will not be linking to that website. Sorry.
So there you go. More reason's why you're gettin' lucky in Kentucky.

text: New York Times | March 4, 2012 | William JohnsonAs you might imagine, my job can be extremely difficult. Beyond the challenges posed by my students, budget cuts and changes to special-education policy have increased my workload drastically even over just the past 18 months. While my class sizes have grown, support staff members have been laid off... On top of all that, I'm a bad teacher. That's not my opinion; it's how I'm labeled by the city's Education Department....Read Original Article: Confessions of a "Bad" TeacherTopic: Performance Evaluation

"What Are You?": Confessions From a Multiracial Latina
I can usually tell when it's coming because the person squints with this perplexed look, shaking their head from side to side, and in slow motion the words roll off of their tongue…What are you?
I've gotten the question from colleagues, audience members, old ladies on the bus, coquettish men, the list continues. The conversation begins innocently…
"Soooo uhhh, where are you from?"
— New Jersey.
"Oh no I mean, where are you from from?"
— Umm, Williamstown, New Jersey?
"I guess what I meant to ask is 'What ARE you?"
Then I say in a semi-robotic voice, I'm Puerto Rican, Hawaiian, and Filipina.
The more exhausting question is "Which side do you think you're more of?" How is that even a fair question? I'm one of those people who has to check the OTHER box on applications because I can't choose. Our household's census last year looked like a disaster with all the checkmarks. There is never an easy way to explain what I am to others. And there has never been a way to blend in.
Blending in is a foreign idea. I've always stuck out like a sore thumb. As a child people gave me either the white dolls or the black dolls. Then again there weren't any tan dolls with rice-cookers in their kitchens or better yet, a Puerto Rico shrine in their two-story dollhouse. I was raised in the suburbs and experienced racism throughout my adolesence because I was neither white nor black. It even boggled my Latino friends minds' when they saw my father and tasted his fried rice. I could hear them thinking, So that's why she has slanted eyes.
I have multiracial friends who have gone through similar experiences and situations. The challenge is facing racism, ignorance, and confusion from all sides. Being multiracial has its perks don't get me wrong, but it's a constant struggle. I have dealt with badgering from "friends" and even tried to laugh along when a racist comment about Puerto Ricans is made. People have commented on "Orientals" and made stereotypes in my presence forgetting I am part Asian/Pacific Islander. Being a minority within a minority is tough. I'm not Puerto Rican enough for the Latinas or Hawaiian/Filipina enough for the Asian/Pacific Islanders.
I loathe when people say, "You don't look Puerto Rican." Tell me this, how does a Puerto Rican look? Maybe she carries fruit on her head? Wait, maybe she has glamourous curves with a sexy accent? Am I missing something?? I look like me. Over the years I have heard Mexican – do you eat tacos?; Chinese girl – so you must be smart, no wait, are you black and white? Americans have asked me where Puerto Rico is. The comments are from all races. Ignorance has no color.
As a parent, I am doing my best in raising my son to be culturally aware. My son – the Puerto Rican/Hawaiian/Filipino/Irish/German/Native-American. Times are changing and the generations to come will be more accepting (I can only hope) as I believe my parents were ahead of their time. My mother has Goya crowding her kitchen cabinets and my father has the Hawaiian sun permanently on his face – but my birth certificate reads the United States.
Now when someone asks me the inevitable question I respond assertively, "I'm American, what are you?"

Board members voted 4 to 3 during an emergency conference call to bring back a letter grade "safety net" established last year that kept school grades from plummeting due, at least in part, to a slew of rigorous changes to Florida's grading formula. More than 30 changes have been made in the last two years to the state's prominent school grading system, established in 1999 under then-Gov. Jeb Bush and hailed as a national model.
In bringing back the safety net, which was recommended by a task force and by Education Commissioner Tony Bennett, board members were conflicted about their own system. Chairman Gary Chartrand, who voted for the emergency rule change, questioned the validity of the grading scale.
"Are we really revealing the truth if we don't really have a statistically valid model?" asked Chartrand. "I don't think we do."
Dissenting board members, however, questioned the honesty behind assigning a school one grade when they earned another, something Bennett struggled with. Grades are calculated using scores from standardized tests and year-to-year learning gains. High school grades include other factors, too, like graduation rates.

Arizona deputy arrested for aggravated assault
PHOENIX -- The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says one of its deputies is in custody for an alleged aggravated assault in North Dakota.
Sheriff's officials announced Wednesday that 41-year-old Timothy Abrahamson was arrested without incident by deputies.
They say Abrahamson has been booked into the downtown Phoenix jail, where he'll be held in protective custody until his extradition to North Dakota.
Officials didn't release any details about the incident other that it allegedly occurred last month in Cass County and Abrahamson was wanted on a North Dakota warrant.
MCSO says Abrahamson has been a deputy for seven years.

For students looking to land their first professional job, looking the part is sometimes the biggest hurdle.
For most of their lives, many students have relied on a wardrobe of jeans and other casual clothing, and buying that first interview-appropriate suit can be especially stressful.
Enter the College of Business Student to Career program at Tennessee Tech University.
"The interview process is difficult and stressful enough for a job-seeker, but especially for a college student going through it for the first time," said Amy Jo Carpenter, program director. "Having a tailored suit can help build confidence and remove at least one of the hurdles to landing that first job."
The Suit Up event, which is the first of its kind at TTU, will allow male students from all majors to get measured for a custom suit by sales associates from Men's Wearhouse in Mt. Juliet and Nashville. It will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, in Johnson Hall Auditorium.
"As a company, we have a 'dress for success' workshop that we do all over the country with schools, organizations and other companies," said Dale Bynum, manager and associate at Men's Wearhouse. "We are excited to offer advice and meet the students at TTU."
Bynum and Wearhouse sales associate Jessica Walker will be at TTU to measure students and to give discount coupons during the event.
Carpenter says she hopes to organize a similar event for women as soon as she can find a business willing and able to partner with her.
"People always talk about how you need to dress for the job you want to have. This will help TTU students on their way," Carpenter said. "They will get an idea of what to expect from a fitting with a tailor."
"We want to help build students' confidence as they go in to land their first jobs."

Lee Min Ho (SportsKorea)Korean superstar, actor Lee Min Ho, best known for his roles as Gu Jun Pyo in "Boys Over Flowers," Jeon Jin Ho in "Personal Preference" and Lee Yoon Sung in "City Hunter," will be coming to Manila in November and Filipino Minoz, as his fans are called, are going crazy!
Lee Min Ho, who is currently starring as Choi Young in his latest drama "Faith," will be coming to the country for a grand fan meeting at the Araneta Coliseum on Nov. 16. The actor, known for his remarkable good looks, undeniable acting talent and perfect career moves, is the latest addition to the roster of high-profile celebrity endorsers of Philippine lifestyle brand Bench which celebrates its 25th year anniversary this year.
Lee Min Ho joins Super Junior members Siwon and Donghae as brand representatives for Bench, which created the Twitter hashtag #GlobalBenchsetter for this campaign. Given the grand scale of this fan meeting, the last Bench-sponsored fan event, a Trinoma mall affair featuring Siwon and Donghae and attended by more than 25,000 fans, seem almost like a dress rehearsal.
For details on how to secure tickets to Lee Min Ho's fan meeting, check out Bench's official tweet.

1000 Artist Trading Cards
Innovative and Inspired Mixed-Media ATCs
written by Patricia Bolton
Tower Books | ISBN 9781592533343
Paperback – 320 pages
Part of the 1000 Series series.
Member's price: $49.50
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Making artist trading cards (ATCs) is a hugely popular activity for artists. Originally a paper/collage-based art form, ATCs have caught on with crafters working in a range of mediums and are now just as popular among fabric and mixed-media artists. ATCs are mini artworks, the size of a playing card, often created as limited editions, containing on the back of each card the artist's name and contact information. The idea is to make them and then give, trade or share them with others. This collection inspires with 1000 original cards in a beautiful pageant of colour, composition and creative use of materials. The book also includes a special section devoted to explaining what ATCs are, how to get started and includes some exciting technique information. Curated by Patricia Bolton, founder and editor-in-chief of two of the most exciting creative magazines on the news stands, the book meets the Quarry Books mission of offering artistic and challenging new ideas to traditional paper artists, scrapbookers, mixed-media artists and quilters by merging paper, fabric and surface embellishment through experimentation and discovery.

The next step in the Blago-gate drama is how the Senate seat will be filled. Republicans of course want a special election and have opened up a public campaign. But plenty of Illinois Democrats want that option as well (those who might not be at the top of the appointment list but could make a run at a special election, for example), so it is not entirely a partisan affair. Majority Leader Harry Reid, not surprisingly, wants no delay. As far as he is concerned, the seat should be filled by appointment as soon as they can get Blago out of the way. Right now, it's a political free-for-all.
Putting aside the partisanship — if that is even possible — if the seat is filled by appointment, that person will face extreme scrutiny. Was this a deal-within-a-deal? And was this person one of the Blago-considered candidates from the criminal complaint? The sniping will go on endlessly. The only way to remove that cloud is to have an election.
Blago meanwhile is cleverly hinting he would sign a special election bill — which might lessen some the pressure to resign immediately. One thing is for certain: only dynamite or an impeachment will get Blago out of office. That's the last card he has to play. Well, that and a very public trial in which Rahm Emanuel and others are called as witnesses.

Comment & Analysis
Political donations: why voters are tuning out
John Hewson The demand is real for the resolve to reform electoral funding and lobbying.
Shorten creates a ticking bomb
Paul Sheehan Bill Shorten wants Labor to fight the asylum-seekers war again. He remains deluded about the electorate's unwavering majority support for genuinely tough border security policies, not posturing.

Annabel Crabb The Speaker has no time for namby-pamby rules and colleagues when it comes to saving the government.
Bishop wings clipped but she's still in box seat
Adam Gartrell Bronwyn Bishop has survived the choppergate controversy, and so has the broken parliamentary entitlements system.
Shorten shores up his position with win
Mark Kenny In politics, nothing unites like the prospect of electoral success. So it is perhaps unsurprising that Labor's notoriously rambunctious internal agitators have tamed themselves at the party's National Conference.
Bill Shorten's trifecta bet
Michael Gordon The Labor conference is likely to do more to help than hinder the Shorten cause.

Deborah Snow and James Robertson Australians want to know why, if the age of entitlement is really over as Joe Hockey declared in February last year, it's not also over for their elected representatives.
It's time to reclaim the flag
Judith Ireland
Beyond its official, non-controversial use in government buildings and at sporting events, in a day-to-day sense, the Australian flag has become intertwined with a certain brand of intolerance.
Getting to 50%: building our renewable future
Peter Hannam Labor wants renewables to supply half of Australia's electricity by 2030, but is that feasible?

MPs' expenses system geared to allow abuse
Sally Young The repeated failure to reform the entitlements system lets politicians play fast and loose with the public's purse strings.
In search of a recipe for magic pudding
Ross Gittins A host of different groups are pushing for higher GST, but they all want to use the proceeds to pay for something different.
Abbott has sold out Australians to China
Joanna Howe The government's not being open about how workers are hurt by the free trade deal.

Alan Stokes "Avalon village" used to be called a northern beaches suburb when I was a boy pretending to be Prince Planet and doing a poo in the outside loo.

Special features
Abbott now has Bishop in his pocket

Labor's national conference is the party's pre-eminent decision making forum - the place where the policy direction for the next three years is determined.
Shorten's turn-back policy vulnerable on two fronts
Michael Gordon The problem at the heart of Labor's border protection policy is that Bill Shorten wants to replicate Tony Abbott's boats policy without the sharp and ugly edges: the secrecy, the self-centredness and the cruelty.
Abbott considers changing the flag. Turns out there's no point
Tony Wright Tony Abbott hasn't studied the Australian flag in as much detail as you'd imagined.

Dear Families:
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you, like me, had a chance to visit with cherished friends and family! Thanks to all who sent in cranberries and Craisins for our pre-Thanksgiving Cranberry Day. It was a lot of hands-on learning and fun! Pictures and videos will be posted here soon. The link to the videos can be found on the right hand side of the page under the heading "Videos".
Can you believe that we have officially finished 1/3 of our third grade year? Time seems to go by faster with each passing year. As we begin this new term, I will be talking with the children about revised expectations. Just getting work "done" will no longer be enough. The bar will be raised on the quality of work that is accepted. I will emphasize accuracy over speed. They should come to school ready to try their best every day. It would be great if you could also discuss this at home. They are ready and I know they can do it!
We spent a great deal of time during the first term learning about "Question/Answer Relationships" or "QARs". This strategy taught the children about the types of questions (Right There, Think & Search, Author & Me, and On My Own) that they have encountered or will encounter and where they, the student, will find the answers to the questions. Will the answer be right there in the story? Will you have to search for different parts of the answer all through the story? Will you have to think about what you learned in the passage and think about what you already know about that topic to come up with the answer or will you just have to use what you know to answer the question?
This term, we will move on to answering Open Response Questions (ORQs). ORQs are a way for children to demonstrate their comprehension of a given text through writing. When answering open response questions, students will use what they have learned about Question/Answer Relationships and build upon that by learning how to turn their answers into well thought out paragraphs that include specific evidence from the text to support their answer. We will practice this together weekly.
Finally, please watch for notices confirming your parent-teacher conference appointment time to come home this week. If you have not scheduled a time to come in and meet with me, please call or send an email to set something up. December 7th is the afternoon set aside by the district for us to meet but I am also available some mornings before school and most afternoons after school. I will do my very best to work around your schedule.
Until Next Time,
Ms. Sawyer

gettin edumacashun
almost finished my course to get my PT qualifications (well so long as im in NZ, AUS, or the UK) been learning a whole lot of pretty interesting stuff. Can't wait to start working, although being a bottom rung gym trainer to start off with won't be so great. So I guess I will probably start spending a bit more time in here, although what im doing is mostly aimed towards people who are beginning training and generally wont be martial artists, which is something i plan on doing as a sideline job, at least to start with.

Style: Wrestling, MT--
from the look of your dp putting on a few kgs would do the world of good for the personal training carreer. Unfortunately most people dont hire personal trainers for their knowledge or skill but because they look muscular. Also im not sure about NZ but in Australia the standard personal training course is pretty basic so it will help you if you seek out further knowledge.
When im finished I will have the highest level REPs available atm, but yeah im doing a business course and a few other courses as well next year. Im also halfway through a sportscience degree that ill finish at some point when i can be motivated which im not right now.
im getting offered jobs and have people calling me because i am friendly and have an interesting background, being a big dude would im sure attract some clients but would put others off. Im playing to my strengths (and am also putting on a bit of muscle, probably get to about 70kg)

It's in 4/4!? Oh heavens, because we like to think we're cleverer than all other rock bands, we'll add an extra 'duhduh' onto that phrase so it's now in 5/4, so it must be really deep and insightful.' Even though it sounds totally tacked on.
I never listen to the lyrics of any songs, because I like music, not poetry, but my friend and fellow band member tells me they embody pretentiousness. Besides, I'll never aquire the intelligence nesseccary to decipher Maynard 'Genius' Keenan's lyrics (I can't even spell 'nesseccary').
I disagree with everything you just said apart from the bit about liking something. I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this. While I don't think the music Tool produce is sheer genius, I do enjoy the odd timings without it being too OTT to not enjoy. Wings Parts 1 and 2, IMHO, are superb. But they're not to your tastes, cool, whatever. I agree, Maynard is not a genius, but I do like his lyrics, I don't try to decipher them, I just sing along in the car or whatever or have a phrase which might stick in my head. This is normally the reason why I return to a song as it "grows" on me. I didn't actually like Wings 1 and 2 to start with, it grew on me as a result of liking the build up and the "give me my wings" line in the middle. I can't understand how his lyrics "embody pretentiousness" since at no point does he state how superior he or his band are to anyone else in this world. I've read stuff where he has come across as arrogant though, I'll give you that.

Through several hands-on tutorials, instructor Todd Perkins shows how to best build dynamic, streamlined sites using Flash CS3 Professional. Learn how to create custom keyboard shortcuts, apply advanced text techniques such as animating scrolling text with custom easing controls, and using advanced animation techniques. Flash CS3 Professional Beyond the Basics covers many challenging features, including adding complex interactivity to a Flash CS3 project and getting Flash content on a phone. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.
Now we'll talk about events and event handlers. Events are things that happen. One example of an event is a mouse click. Another example is when a file finishes downloading or when a song finishes playing. So those are some examples of events and again they're just things that happen. An event handler is a function that responds to the event. For example when a person clicks on a button something happens, the button navigates to a certain frame. Event handler is what controls that functionality, or what block of code runs when a certain event happens.
So let's take a look at writing an event handler function. If you're following along the file I'm working in is called 03_Events.fla in the Chapter 02 folder in the Exercise Files folder. Select the first keyframe of the Actions layer and open the Actions panel using the keyboard shortcut Option+F9 on the Mac or F9 on the PC. In the Actions panel, define a function. Let's say this function is running when a person's mouse clicks a certain button. So I'm going to call this buttonClicked with capital C. That's the name of the function.
It's going to received a value. I'm going to give the name of the value of event. When an event handler function runs, it receives information about the event that happened. So we need to create a parameter to accept that event. And I'm calling the parameter event here. I'm going to type a colon to declare the data type of the event, and because the event happens with the mouse, it's classified under the data type MouseEvent And again it has a capital M. So MouseEvent, capital E. The returned data type for event handlers is almost always void.
And other than that an event handler looks pretty much just like a function. And there's a look in creating a function that reacts to an event. Now let's make this function do something very simple. So I'll type Trace. Remember a trace statement makes something appear in the output window. And then parentheses after trace, I'm going to type in a value in quotes. The value is going to be "button clicked". So whenever this event handler function runs, the message "button clicked" will appear in the Output window. Now, in order for this function to run we need to connect it to some sort of object and we'll talk about that in the next movie.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Five different Crimson players tallied goals as the Holy Cross field hockey team dropped a 6-1 decision against Harvard on Jordan Field in Cambridge, Mass. on Saturday afternoon. With the losing decision, the Crusaders open up the 2010 slate with a 0-1 record while Harvard earns its first victory of the season, also playing in its season opener, and marking a 1-0 record. Junior Jamie Caniglia (Wayne, Pa.) marked Holy Cross' first goal of the season in the first half.
Harvard struck first, scoring off a corner opportunity at 4:01. Crimson freshman Carly McNeill gave her team the 1-0 lead after deflecting a ball into the net on a penalty corner. She was assisted by senior Chloe Keating. Holy Cross then knotted the score, 1-1, at 13:13 as Caniglia snuck a shot past Crimson goalie Cynthia Tassopoulos two yards in front of the net. Caniglia was assisted by freshman Carly Grimaudo (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.), earning her first points in a Crusaders uniform. Harvard made five more shot attempts, but was unable to get past sophomore goalie Kelly Sotsky (Wayne, N.J.), making her first collegiate appearance in the cage. The score remained tied, 1-1, as the Crimson out-shot the Crusaders 11-6 to round out the half.
Harvard went up, 2-1, 15 minutes into the second half as Keating scored on a penalty corner, making a hard shot into the right corner of the cage. She was assisted by sophomore Katelin Wahl. The Crimson then took a 3-1 lead at 51:02 as Wahl notched her own goal, shooting the ball over the head of Sotsky off freshman Mariah Pewarski's assist. The home team continued to pull away, as Harvard tallied three additional goals in a span of six minutes. Goal number four came at 60:45 and was followed by goals at 63:39 and 66:04. Two of the three goals were scored by sophomore Emma Keller. Holy Cross was unable to score again, collecting nine shots in the second half. After 70 minutes of play, the Crusaders fell by the final score of 6-1.
In all, Holy Cross marked 15 shots, including a team-high six shots by senior captain Alanna Sikorski (Glen Gardner, N.J.). Harvard finished with 21 shots. The Crusaders also collected six penalty corner opportunities next to the Crimson's eight. Sotksy made nine saves out of Harvard's 15 shots on-goal in her debut as Tassapoulos made two saves on the Crusaders' three shots on-goal.
Holy Cross plays again tomorrow, Sept. 5 against No. 9 Boston College in the home opener at Hart Turf Field. Game time is set for 1:00 p.m. against the Eagles in Worcester, Mass.

What's the antimatter content of a banana?
Antimatter is strange, exotic stuff, right? Only produced in dangerous physics experiments? Leads to complete annihilation with ordinary matter?
Sort of. It's a question of quantity.
Consider the element potassium. Potassium, like sodium, is an alkali metal; potassium ions in solution play an important role in several different biochemical processes. You have to eat potassium or you'll die, but this is true for lots of different plants and animals, so potassium deficiencies aren't common in well-fed people. Natural potassium is made of three different isotopes. About 117 parts per million natural potassium is potassium-40, 40K, which is unstable with a lifetime 1.25 billion years. This radioactive potassium is left over from the formation of the solar system; in the 4.5 billion years since the earth coalesced, 97% of the the original 40K has decayed.
A "medium" banana (whatever that means) has about half a gram of potassium, or 7.7×1021 atoms. Of these, 9.0×1017 (about sixy micrograms) are 40K. If you picked just one of these nuclei, you'd have to wait a billion years (on average) to see it decay; in our banana we have lots of atoms we can watch all at once, so there will be about 23 decays per second. Of these decays, 89% are β- decays to calcium, and 11% are electron capture decays to argon. Only one decay in 105 actually emits an antielectron. So an ordinary banana contains an antielectron for a brief instant about once every 75 minutes.
Of course, all the β- and electron capture decays are accompanied by an electron antineutrino, which leaves the banana at the speed of light. Which is a bigger contribution to the antimatter number density in a banana: an antielectron that stops and annihilates, or an antineutrino that instantly escapes?

Yo munchies got an attitude? Why not try a Hot Pocket like it's hot, suggests Hot Pockets' unlikely new spokesman Snoop Lion (nee Dogg). It would seem that Snoop has never met a product he won't endorse, but this latest effort smacks of genius: Snoop has reworked his 2004 hit "Drop It Like It's Hot" as [drumroll, please!] "Pocket Like It's Hot." You can call him the Big Sauce Boss now.
Snoop and his collaborators, YouTube star DeStorm and comedian and one-third of the rap group Three Loco Andy Milonakis, use the remix to spit high praise for the freezer section delight. They swap lines like "I got the Rolly on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon" for freezer pastry big-ups like "I've got the pockets in my arms, settin' off smoke alarms" while they dance with a life-sized Hot Pocket, laying it all out like this was just one hit of the bong away all along. Which it may well have been, given Snoop's dedication to the high life. Snoop has certainly indulged in a Hot Pocket or two in his life, and so when he says "when da cheese hits your tongue it'll scream 'fo sizzle,'" you know he means it. Lean Cuisine, what's your move?
Snoop's Hot Pockets come complete with a leopard print fur casing:
And when they start to get warm, they do this:
