Steve Perry Gives Unexpected Assist to Cassidy/Boheme 'Follow the Freedom"
Former Antigone Rising frontwoman Cassidy is unveiling her new identity, Boheme, along with her first solo record, "Follow the Freedom" — with a completely unexpected assist by Journey's Steve Perry.
"I grew up in Northwestern New Jersey in an area that had only one one radio station — a classic rock station — so I grew up listening to Journey and Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Nicks…Steve Perry was a HUGE influence," she recalls.
She was busy mixing tracks on "Follow the Freedom" at L.A.'s Capitol Records building with producer/engineer Niko Bolas, when Bolas suddenly announced, "I have a big fan of yours in here who wants to meet you.' I was thinking someone who was a fan of my former band. I walked into the room and who turns around but Steve Perry. I had to rub my eyes, because I thought I was seeing things. He said, 'Hi, Darlin'!'
"I said, 'I am a huge fan of yours! You taught me how to sing.'
"'I did?' he said. 'No wonder you sound good.'"
Perry not only wound up collaborating on the album behind the scenes, he performed backup vocal work on "Follow the Freedom."
Cassidy remembers Bolas telling her, "There's some sort of spirit connection there. He recognized something in your voice that sounded familiar.' It did feel a bit cosmic, a bit of a wink from the universe. If you're doing the right thing, the road will rise up to meet you."
That fortuitous turn of events came after years fraught with stress and disappointment for the singer-actress. Despite the success of female rockers Antigone Rising, she says she felt a sense of things going wrong after they signed a record deal. "We'd been on our own for five years and been really independent. As soon as we handed it over, there was a campaign to change the image, to change the sound. This is what Atlantic Records wants. This is better for Starbucks. The public had been responding to how different and unusual the band was, but once we got on a record label, they wanted to temper it. The hair got bigger, the makeup got darker and the clothes got more feminine…My regret was that I did not fight it more."
After she and her band mates went separate ways, "I was shell-shocked, heartbroken. I lost some of that fight I was born with. It was a tough time." She took time away, focused on acting and other pursuits.
Two years ago, she "picked up the guitar again" and found a new sound beginning to emerge. "Based on everything going on in the country," she says, the album's "message is going to be about starting over, about finding the positive in a negative." And she has.

Traveling Naturalist: Spotting Wild Jaguars
By Matt Miller, senior science writer
The Traveling Naturalist, our series featuring natural wonders and biological curiosities for the science-inclined wanderer.
The jaguar has the reputation as being an incredibly difficult animal to spot in the wild; to read many guidebooks, you get the impression that you'd have to spend a lifetime in the rainforest to have any hope of spotting one.
Sure, they are found widely in Central and South America (and sometimes even show up in Arizona), but they don't often show themselves.
But there is actually one spot where you can reliably observe and photograph wild jaguars: the northern Pantanal of Brazil.
The Pantanal is the world's largest tropical wetland, covering nearly 70,000 square miles. During the rainy season, as much as 80 percent of this area is flooded. These areas dry up in August and September, leaving behind small water holes crammed with fish, birds and caimans.
My original goal when visiting the Pantanal was to see large herds of capybara, the world's largest rodents. When I mentioned this to my guide, Julinho Monteiro of Pantanal Trackers, he looked bemused.
"I guarantee you'll see capybaras," he said. "How about we aim for something more exciting?"
He then mentioned that we had a decent chance of seeing jaguars. Wild jaguars? Seriously?
In the northern Pantanal, about an hour from the city of Cuiaba, is a rough dirt road that runs through the Pantanal's wetlands. Called the Transpanteneira, it leads through the water holes, grass plains and cattle ranches that define the region.
Within minutes of heading onto this road, my wife Jennifer and I began seeing thousands of birds and huge congregations of caimans – a stunning sight for any naturalist
And yes, we saw capybaras. Hundreds of capybaras. If the thought of herds of aquatic, Labrador retriever-sized rodents gets your blood flowing, this is the place for you.
We eventually reached the end of the road, at the small town of Porto Jofre. Here our quest to see jaguars began in earnest. We boarded a small boat and headed deep into the Pantanal, where we camped on the front lawn of a subsistence fisher.
In the early mornings, we'd drift along these remote rivers, searching for signs of big cats. It didn't take long: within an hour, we sighted a jaguar moving through deep grass.
It didn't offer the best photographic opportunities, but no matter: soon after that we saw three young jaguars together. A rare and incredible sighting.
The next morning we came across a much larger jaguar resting along a river bank. It was not bothered by our presence; it eventually fell asleep as we watched. We observed the beautiful animal for an hour, then quietly drifted on to look for other wildlife.
The Pantanal is a traveling naturalist's dream. It's undoubtedly the best spot in South America to see large wildlife. In our ten days there, we saw tapirs, a giant anteater, peccaries, three monkey species, crab-eating fox, marsh deer, giant otters and many other species.
There are huge flocks of wetland birds in astounding variety, as well as other specialties like the hyacinth macaw.
We visited several years ago, and since then, the northern Pantanal has become well known among hard-core wildlife watchers and wildlife researchers (including George Schaller) as the place to view jaguars.
A growing number of visitors go there searching each year, as evidenced by the trip reports on Jon Hall's excellent Mammal Watching web site.
This undoubtedly raises concerns about the effects these tourists will have on shy, elusive jaguars. And certainly, it would be very easy to harass these animals.
But the Pantanal faces more significant threats, as demands for its land (for intensive agriculture) and water (for hydropower) increase. Wildlife tourism provides income to local people and cattle ranchers, who have coexisted remarkably well with the wildlife. A sustainably managed program could be a key part of the region's future, and ensure that jaguars still rule the Pantanal's river banks.

Wow … would love to photograph Jaguars … hope these guys do not have their habitat trashed.
Thanks Matt it was wonderful to guide the article is great.

Age Range: 3-7
My mother-in-law, a retired schoolteacher herself, reminded me of Horace and Morris but mostly Dolores when she read it to my son. After that I quickly picked it up on Amazon. James Howe, renowned author of many wonderful children's books (most notably the Bunnicula series) wrote this classic story about three mice friends, two boys and a girl. Their story of friendship tackles the early childhood version of "When Harry Met Sally": Can boys and girls really be friends? Although Horace, Morris and Dolores are best friends, they are each offered a chance to join gender-exclusive clubhouses. In this tale, they learn that girls and boys can truly cross the gender divide if they have the courage to do so.
Horace and Morris but mostly Dolores addresses what can be a serious issue in both a sensitive and humorous way. Suitable for both boys and girls, it is a jumping off point to open conversations about issues of cliques, teasing and bullying amongst kids today. Relevant questions to think about with your child include:
- Have you ever felt left out?
- Do you know of anyone in your class or family who might feel left out?
- Why do you think Dolores quit the girls' clubhouse? Do you think that took a lot of courage for her to do that?
- Who else does her decision influence? How does Dolores' courage affect Chloris?
Finding ways for children to meaningfully connect to books is important in a developing reader and can deepen a child's relationship to a story. If a child can identify a time when they personally have felt left out or perhaps they know of someone else who has (say, perhaps, because of a disability, the way they talk or the way they dress), this is a great time to have them think about what they could do to help make that person feel included.
Books like Horace and Morris but mostly Dolores can be referred to again and again in conversations with your child, especially as issues of inclusion become part of their school or after school experience. No doubt this book can become not just part of your library but also part of your child's life. Howe's book can inspire your child to make the right decision the next time he or she is confronted by peer pressure. This is the kind of conversation that can't begin too early.

How do guys think of girls when they cry?
Is it something a guy would rather not know about? Is it something that would make the guy want to hug her or like what? Also, when a girl expresses... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Guys are protective of their girls, whether it be a friend, sister, girlfriend, mom, granny. Guys are not allowed to cry in front of girls or mention crying or even refer to songs that mention crying (unless, like Guns 'n Roses' "Don't Cry" the song is specifically about a woman crying or, of course, not crying). That's why we'll never watch "Rudy" with you.
Girls, however, don't carry that burden. Men are more sympathetic to weakness in women than women are to weakness in men. Not that crying is weakness, but being down, sad, scared are much more acceptable for a woman than a man. If you're upset, then your guy friends will want to comfort you.
As to being walked on by others, that would make your guy friends angry (unless they're the ones doing it, then they're just jerks) and, if it's a guy, likely to fight. If it's a girl attacking you, likely to stick up for you. The catch is that we are also, when you tell us about something that happened earlier, likely to tell you what to do, how to handle it.
On the flip side, as long as a guy doesn't cry over every little thing, I don't mind seeing a guy show his sensitive side on occasion. It lets me know he DOES have a sensitive side. There is a time/place for strong emotion.
Just my two cents worth.
I agree with that, though I would add that it is appropriate once the relationship has a firm foundation. Everyone admires people who can handle difficult circumstances without breaking down, but we also know everyone is human and feels pain.
What Guys Said 4
Actually this terrified me. I asked a similar question as to what should we do, and the overall consensus was that we should hug girls and just be there for them when they cry. I'm yet to try this out, but hopefully this won't terrify me in future.
Does this make me think any less of the girl when they cry or express an opinion? Hell no! It's normal, and it shows me that there is a real person underneath that terrifying exterior (I'm shy, and I freely admit it).
Do I see it as a poor quality in a girl who tells people where to get off when they've been rude? Again, no. However, if she's the one being rude and walking all over people, I do see that as a poor quality.
Dean summed it up very well below. I think most, if not all, guys are very protective of women, and feel even more so when they see a woman cry. We certainly don't think lesser of them for it. That's when the hug thing comes in. Speaking for myself, it just tears at your heart when a woman cries! Definitely a good quality for a girl to have!

Can't wake up display when using Synergy

Can't wake up display when using Synergy
I have a Windows XP PC and a Linux system running CentOS 5.3 that share the PC's keyboard and mouse using the
utility. For those of you not familiar with this utility, it allows you to use a keyboard and mouse that is attached to one computer on multiple computers. Unlike a physical KVM switch, you need a monitor (the "V" part of KVM) on each system. If you move the mouse off the screen on one computery it magically appears on another (you configure Synergy by describing the physical arrangement of the monitors on your desk).
Everything works great until I don't use the Linux system for 20 minutes and the NVIDIA graphics card goes into power saving mode. When that happens, I can not wake up the display by moving the mouse into it (with Synergy). I have verified that mouse and keyboard events are being received on the Linux system when the display is asleep, but the system is not usable as the screen is black. The only way to wake it up is to generate an event from the physical keyboard or mouse that are attached to the Linux system. But I keep them tucked under my desk and they are a bit of a pain to reach.
One solution (albeit not the ideal one) would be to disable the power saving mode, but I haven't figured out how to do that. Ideally, I'd like to have the NVIDIA driver respond to the Synergy generated keyboard or mouse events and wake up, but I don't know if that's possible. I did not have this problem with CentOS 5.2 and a slightly older version of the NVIDIA driver, although at least one person did (we have about 40 CentOS systems in use).
I've attached the (slightly sanitized) nvidia-bug-report.sh output if that helps. Please help me disable the power saving mode of the NVIDIA adapter or figure out how to get the NVIDIA driver to respond to Synergy events if that is possible.

ELIZABETHTON — It came down to making plays, and Elizabethton made just a few more than Sullivan South.
Then in the nightcap, Johnson County pulled off a shocker.
The Cyclones got a 45-point combo from Zeke Clark and Tyler Nichols and held off the Rebels down the stretch in a 66-60 victory in the District 1-AA semifinals. A short time later, Chase Phillips scored 18 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as Johnson County defeated the Blue Devils 66-55.
Tonight's title game between the Cyclones (21-7) and Longhorns (14-12) will be at 8:30 p.m.
The third-place contest at 5:30 will be matchup between the two teams who shared the Three Rivers Conference title: Unicoi and South.
Cyclones' head coach Lucas Honeycutt, who guided his team to the sectional last season in his first year, has this team in the district final for the second straight time despite losing a boatload of seniors.
"People didn't expect us to be here, but we want it to be a program thing," said Honeycutt. "We want this to be an expectation every year. And we want to make a run at the state."
Clark certainly did his part, totaling 23 points, seven assists and three steals. Nichols was right there, too, with 22 points and 10 rebounds.
"In a game like this, you've got to make plays," said Clark. "Sullivan South is full of players who can make the same plays, so you better work hard. Luckily things went our way."
There were several key moments in the game for the Cyclones. One was Zeke Clark calmly dribbling the clock down and then crushing a 3-pointer with two seconds left before halftime to pull Elizabethton within three, 36-33.
Another was Clark's trey late in the game. South's Mickey Winkle drove home a head-of-the-key shot with 2:11 remaining to give South a 59-57. On the next possession, Clark broke loose for a 3-ball answer to put Elizabethton back in front.
"They had been going under screens, and I knew I was going to fire it the next time they did it," said Clark. "It just happened again at that point."
That shot put Elizabethton ahead for good, although there were some tough moments at the free throw line. The Cyclones made 6 of 8 free throws in the final 59.6 seconds to secure the win.
Nichols made five of those tosses, including a couple of free throw line trips after a couple of tough defensive rebounds.
"I said to myself I'm coming out with it because I wanted to get back to the free throw line," said Nichols.
South started the game in a passing frenzy. Post Christian Comsa racked up five first-quarter assists. He finished with 15 points and five assists.
Dalton Light totaled 12 points while Will Blair had 10 points and seven rebounds.
Johnson County 66, Unicoi County 55
It was a game to remember for Phillips, but he deflected praise to his teammates.
"We just kept attacking," said Phillips. "Brandon Vannoy came off the bench and played fantastic. And Brian Dempsey played his heart out until he fouled out."
Unicoi was in control of the game, leading 39-25. But they lost Connor Simpson to an ankle injury and postmate Nic Chambers got in foul trouble.
Johnson County closed the third quarter with a 14-4 run to move within four points going into the fourth.
Then they slapped Unicoi with a high-energy fast-breaking 13-2 run to start the fourth quarter and never relinquished the lead.
Head coach Austin Atwood said it was a breakthrough win.
"We've been close all year," said Atwood. "I've been telling our guys we're that close from being a real good team. Tonight we got there."
J.R. Speed totaled 17 points for the Longhorns while Dempsey and Vannoy added 11 apiece.
Atwood said the win was significant not only for reaching the title game, but also for earning home-court advantage for Saturday's region quarterfinal contest.
"The biggest thing was getting that region game back in Mountain City," said Atwood.
Lucas Hensley totaled 14 points and seven rebounds for the Blue Devils. Keith Arrowood chipped in with 12.
"We've got some effort things we have to fix," said Unicoi head coach John English. "I would think at this time of year we wouldn't have to talk about that, but I don't think we got one 50-50 ball. They got them all."comments powered by Disqus

Proportional Representation For Queensland
What would you say...
If I told you that 47 equals 65? Or that 0.6 is greater than 7.9?
If you said "that's ridiculous", you'd be right.
But that's how elections are counted in Queensland.
What's the problem?
Problem 1 - Unrepresentative Parliament At the 2006 Queensland State Election, the Labor party won a commanding majority in parliament, taking 59 of the 89 seats in our parliament. That's 65% of all seats in parliament. But did you know they only received 47% of the popular vote? And did you know that the Liberal party got roughly 20% of the vote but only 10% of the seats? Or that the Greens with 7.9% and Family First with 1.9% are unrepresented in parliament, whereas One Nation is represented despite getting less than 1 percent (0.6%) of the popular vote? [Source]. Based on these figures, roughly 1 in 5 votes at the last election counted for nothing!
Problem 2 - Only the winners have a voice. Under our current system, any candidate who wins a seat in parliament represents everyone in that electorate, including everyone who voted against them. It's possible for a member of parliament to be elected despite having more than half of their electorate vote against them. Take the following results from the last election as an example.
The majority of the people in the seat of Mount Coot-tha voted against the Labor party candidate who now represents them in parliament - 45% voted for Labor, 33% voted Liberal and 22% voted Green.[Source] Why should the majority have to accept being represented by someone they didn't vote for?
Problem 3 - This has been happening for far too long. Queensland has a long history of unrepresentative parliaments. All Queensland parties have, at different times, suffered from the unequal vote-to-seat conversion and "winner takes all" system. For example, in 1977, the Labor Party won 43% of the vote, but won only 28% of the seats.[Source] In 1980, they got 30.5% of the seats with 41.5% of the vote.[Source] In 1983 it was 39.5% with 44%[Source] and in 1986 it was 33.7% with 41.3%.[Source] At the the most recent election, the Greens got just 10% less votes than the National Party (who got 17.8%), but the Nationals got 17 seats and the Greens got none. Again, the Liberal Party got roughly 20% of the vote but only 10% of the seats.[Source] If these results from our most recent election are anything to go by, we will continue to get unfair election results well into the future unless we do something about it.
It is our voting system that is the cause of these problems. Under our current system we simply divide the state into chunks and let the person with the most votes and preferences in each chunk win. This system means that parties such as the Liberals, Family First and the Greens, who have their supporters spread across the state rather than all living together in the same electorate, are not properly represented (if at all) in parliament. It also means that only the people who voted for the winner in their electorate are represented. Sometimes this means that the the people in an electorate are represented by someone the majority voted against (like in Mount Coot-tha). Even in electorates where a candidate has strong support like in opposition leader Jeff Seeney's seat of Callide, where he received 72% of the vote, there are still large amounts of people (6,527 in Jeff's seat!) who are not represented they way they ought to be.[Source]We can do better than this! There is a solution to these problems, and it's in use around the world as well as in Australia. Read on to find out more! Next Page: Solution

Website Launched!
Welcome everyone to Queensland's newest political campaign website - pr4qld.org! As I'm sure you've already gathered, the purpose of this website is to convince as many people as possible that electing the Queensland Parliament using Proportional Representation would be Good Thing. The campaign is still in it's early stages, and your support is greatly appreciated. The best way you can support the campaign is to tell everyone you know about it - friends, family, colleagues, newspapers, radio stations, your favourite blogs and other assorted media outlets. If you support our noble cause, I also strongly suggest you contact your local MP, which has been made easy by our Get Active page.
In the mean time, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Adam McDonnell, and I'm studying for a Bachelor of Information Technology at the Queensland University of Technology. I've been interested in politics, and been a fan of Proportional Representation, for a long time. After the last Queensland state election I was feeling pumped about the idea of starting a campaign for PR in Queensland, and as fate would have it I stumbled across some likeminded people who were already working on such a campaign. I got the job - volunteered actually - of building the website you're now working on. I'll let the others involved in the campaign explain what it is they themselves do. You'll be hearing from my esteemed colleagues here on this blog in the near future.
If you have any questions, comments or anything else you'd like to say, please feel free to contact us. Thanks for dropping by this website, and be sure to come back so you can keep up to date with the campaign!

It's fig season in the Lowcountry. Depending on the microclimate where you live, you may be awash in these fruits, nature's bon-bons, or seeing the season on the wane.
A caller asked whether figs can be frozen. I've never done it, as we usually consume the precious few we get (the tree has been unhappy since being moved years ago) and of course, figs are a favorite of birds, too.
Anyway, I found some interesting discussions on a Southern Living and GardenWeb forums. Many say they simply toss them into a bag and freeze (can peel and mash them first, if desired) until they have enough to make fig jam or preserves.
Others recommend eating them later in a partially thawed state and still a bit crunchy.
We thought there's no time like the present for a few fig recipes.
Ocracoke Fig Cake
Makes 12 servings
This recipe is found in "The New Southern Garden Cookbook" by Sheri Castle (University of North Carolina Press, 2011). Here's what she says about the recipe: "This cake is a signature recipe from Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It's dark and spicy, like many traditional Southern cakes in areas where there was relatively easy access to spices shipped in from elsewhere. The delicious, thick glaze tastes like homemade candy and keeps the cake moist for days. The cake is leavened with baking soda dissolved in hot water, a technique that predates commercial baking powder."
For the cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
11/2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon hot water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup fig preserves
1 cup chopped walnuts
For the glaze:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a 10-inch, light metal tube pan, tapping out any excess flour. (A dark metal, nonstick or heavy Bundt pan will make the crust too dark and thick and will alter the baking time.)
Sift together the flour, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and salt into a large bowl.
Beat the eggs until foamy in a large bowl with an electric mixer. With the mixer running, slowly add the sugar, beating until the mixture is thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Slowly add the oil, beating until well-mixed. Beat in half of the flour mixture, then the buttermilk, and then the remaining flour mixture, beating each time only until the batter is smooth.
In a small bowl, stir together the baking soda and water until the soda dissolves. With the mixer set to low speed, beat the soda mixture, vanilla, preserves and walnuts into the batter.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir well with a rubber spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Set the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, run a thin knife around the edge of the cake, and then turn in out on the rack to cool to room temperature before glazing.
For the glaze: Stir together the sugar, cornstarch, baking soda, buttermilk, butter and corn syrup in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes, until the glaze is thick and opaque. Remove the glaze from the heat, stir in the vanilla, and let cool to room temperature; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Drizzle the cooled glaze over the cooled cake.
To serve, cut the cake into wedges and serve with a small scoop of ice cream or sherbet.
Charleston's own Nathalie Dupree appreciates the deliciousness of figs, particularly those that grow right outside our back doors. She has developed a repertoire of fig recipes over the years, and many are found in her latest cookbook, "Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking."
As always, when working with caramel, take care as it can result in painful burns, she warns.
Fig Caramel Mousse Ice Cream
Serves 6-8
6 egg yolks
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water, divided
2 cups quartered fresh figs
21/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh figs for garnish
Beat the egg yolks with an electric hand mixer until they are thick and pale.
Meanwhile, heat the sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a small heavy saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Use a wet brush to sweep down any sugar crystals that collect on the side of the pan. When the sugar has dissolved, turn up the heat and boil steadily until sugar turns into a golden brown caramel (330-360 degrees).
As the sugar browns, bring remaining 1/2 cup water to a boil separately. Carefully pour the hot water down inside the pan cooking the caramel mixture. The addition of the boiling water may cause the hot syrup to splatter, so keep hand covered with a tea towel or oven mitt. Stir until water is incorporated.
Puree the figs in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
While beating the egg yolks continually, add the caramel syrup in a steady stream. Fold in the figs. Continue to beat until the mixture is light and creamy.
Set this bowl over another bowl filled with ice cubes and continue to beat while the mixture thickens and cools. Set aside.
Whip the cream and the vanilla to soft peaks; save some for decoration. Fold the rest of the whipped cream into the cooled caramel mixture. Spoon into little mousse pots or a freezer-proof serving bowl and freeze at least 21/2 hours before serving. May be wrapped tightly and frozen several weeks ahead.
When ready to serve, leave bowl at room temperature until a knife can be run around the bowl to release the ice cream.
Place a serving dish on top of the bowl and flip the bowl and the ice cream onto the serving dish, remove the bowl. Decorate the top with the reserved whipped cream and a few slices of fresh fruit.
Here is another Nathalie recipe. She says the filling can be made the day before, allowing the flavors to "make friends."
Also, although leftover phyllo sheets can be frozen for a future use, they frequently languish unattended until useless and wasted.
It is really better to try to use the whole package at one time, making extra empty tarts and freezing them.
Savory Fig Tarts
Makes 24 mini tarts
4 sheets phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions
3 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 ounces goat cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons honey, divided
Zest of half a lemon
1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
Salt and fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
16 brown turkey figs, quartered
Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter the cups of a mini muffin pan.
Unfold defrosted phyllo dough and move to a baking pan. Cover with a slightly dampened light cloth or sturdy paper towel. Brush a large baking sheet with butter and lay 1 phyllo sheet on top. Cover remaining stack of phyllo with the damp cloth. Brush phyllo with butter and layer another phyllo sheet on top and press down. Repeat layering and buttering until you have four buttered sheets.
Cut phyllo stack into 24 equal squares by cutting into 4 even vertical strips and then cutting each strip horizontally, resulting into 6 even pieces (approximately 21/4 inches square).
Arrange squares into mini muffin pan and bake until squares are golden brown and crisp, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool. Repeat process with remaining phyllo dough, melting more butter as necessary, and freeze extra cups in a sturdy air tight container. Mix goat cheese, heavy cream and 2 tablespoons honey until smooth and creamy. Stir in lemon zest, rosemary, black pepper and salt to taste.
Bring vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon honey to a boil in a small saucepan; simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, 5 to 7 minutes. To assemble tarts, spoon a tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture into cooled tart shell. Top with a piece of fresh fig. Repeat with remaining tart shells. Sprinkle with black pepper. Drizzle with balsamic reduction.

Reports in France have claimed that Mauricio Pochettino is keen on securing the 23-year old's signature after Saints scouts watched him in action against Auxerre last season.
The Algerian international was linked with a switch to Liverpool last summer, but with just one year remaining on his contract, he says he is will assess his options.
"I have a contract until 2014 here so let's see what the club will say, I am open to talk," Boudebouz told SkySports.com.
"My dream has always been to play in England or Spain.
"To be linked with Southampton is interesting; it is everyone's dream to be linked with good teams in big leagues in Europe.
"Southampton has a good history in the Premier League but I have a contract with Sochaux who is like Southampton in France."

Acoustics for Autism: Captain Sweet Shoes' Anthony Beck follows dream with solo projectWritten by Kevin Moore | | email@example.com
Northwest Ohio native Anthony Beck is no stranger to the Toledo music scene, having started his first band when he was 15.
He is also a longtime supporter of Acoustics for Autism. This will be Beck's fifth year performing at the benefit concert alongside Allen Spencer as acoustic cover duo Captain Sweet Shoes.
For the inaugural Acoustics for Autism album, Beck is contributing an original piece called "Iron Soul."
"This is the first time I've done a solo work. I've been a part of five albums with three bands, but I have never done anything solo," said Beck, whose acoustic style is influenced by artists such as Thom Yorke and Sigur Rós. "It's a little scary. If you're part of a band, it's a group effort and the audience judges the band, but solo is different in that people are judging you directly."
"Iron Soul" is about never giving up on one's dreams and choosing the road less traveled, said Beck, who was inspired to write the song after watching a friend choose the "safe path" in her career and relationships at the expense of her musical ambitions.
"I saw her walk away from her talents and the abilities she was blessed with to follow the safe path," Beck said. "'Iron Soul' is about the dangers of that safe road. The hook in the song is: 'Safe is an iron soul if you can stay on dry ground.' It's a warning that your soul can turn into a cold, hard, impenetrable thing, the weight of which can carry you under."
The song, as well as the album he is working on, are his first efforts at song-writing in three years.
"I wrote 'Iron Soul' as a reminder to myself," he said. "My band had just broken up. I got a 50-hour-a-week job in corporate America. That seemed like the safe thing to do. This song is a reminder not to give up on what I'm passionate about."
This year he made a personal resolution to create a solo album.
"I'm no less passionate or serious than before, but now I don't have to write for anyone's ears but my own," he said.
Beck has worked on every aspect of this solo work independently from his home, except for bass tracks played by Dave Thatcher.
It means a great deal to Beck to have his first completed solo song on the inaugural Acoustics for Autism benefit CD.
"They're a phenomenal cause. I have a cousin who is autistic so when I heard what they were doing years ago, it immediately piqued my interest," Beck said. "If you can play an awesome show with some of most awesome musicians in the area, it doesn't get any better than that."
For more information, visit www.captainsweetshoes.com. Beck is performing 4 p.m. March 9 on The Village Idiot Main Stage.

As a massive fan of Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black's work since their early days on "The State" (which is now finally available on DVD!), it's been rough seeing their former "State" castmates find such great success on "Reno 911!" while the two Mikes dwell on the fringe of recognition. After a semi-successful run with their comedy trio "Stella," Black and Showalter return to television as the Michaels of "Michael & Michael Have Issues," a new situation-sketch comedy that premieres tonight on Comedy Central. And with any luck, it could put the two Mike's back on the map.
Much like the the show-within-the-show format of "30 Rock," while MMHI is packed with taped sketches and live comedy segments, the majority of the show is these two comedians working together behind-the-scenes to prepare the show. The two Michaels play self-absorbed, overly-competitive, assholish versions of themselves – such as when they engage in an increasingly ridiculous (and hysterical) feud over a profile that the staff intern is writing for his high school newspaper. The escalating altercation ends in a poor-man's shirtless, out-of-shape capoera fight on the front lawn. It's all par for the course on a show that's built on the partners' relentless drive to one-up each other.
Michael and Michael's constant bickering is essentially the centerpiece of the show, with their over-the-top passive/agressive hostility taking the wheel the majority of the time. The subtle broad-stroke joke to it all is the reason the characters don't ever seem to realize: they're too similar. They both want to be the Simon to the other's Garfunkel, the Lennon to the other's Ringo. Each has a burning need to be the dominant creative force in the duo's show, but neither seems to ever hold the upper hand for long.
The majority of the second episode centers on M&M's quest to score some weed for their co-worker, Biederman, a premise that finds Michael Black first arrested in the park for buying drugs ("I'm a comedian, it's okay!") and then beaten/mugged while he watches Showalter make another attempt to score – successfully this time. Interspersed with sketches including "The Quiet Weatherman" (A bit about a TV weatherman too quiet to hear, played by Showalter) and an unconvincing anti-drug PSA, the episode is far funnier – and more bizarre – than the pilot.
There are no other central characters besides the two Michaels, and the show will suffer among casual viewers as a result. But die-hards of "Stella" and "The State" should feel right at home. These two tremendously talented comedians are underexposed and underappreciated by the general public, and provided it lasts more than a season, MMHI could very well be a scaled triumph. Not quite as accessible as "Reno 911!," but not nearly as bombastic as "Stella". For a taste of what to expect, or simply a litmus test of your own sense of humor, check out the Farting Butterfly sketch:
Another interesting aside is that "Michael & Michael" will feature live commercials during six of its seven episodes, as Messrs. Black and Showalter humorously pimp an assortment of products including Unilever's Klondike, Dunkin' Donuts, Mike's Hard Lemonade and Palm Pre.
"Michael & Michael Have Issues" debuts on Comedy Central this Wednesday, July 15 at 10:30 P.M. ET/PT.
Check out the MMHI blog right here.

Full detailed profile on Echo DiSavoy Played by Kim Zimmer on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Kim Zimmer
Birthday: February 2 1955
Outside Clint's room, Dorian tells Echo Viki's on her way to play Charlie her taped confession. Echo warns Dorian if she comes after her, she'll tell Viki how Dorian blackmailed Clint to get the tape. Dorian taunts Echo as she stomps away.
Viki goes to Echo's motel room with the taped confession. She and Charlie briefly discuss the custody hearing and Niki Smith visiting Echo. Charlie's sure Echo didn't know she was Niki. "I wouldn't be too sure about that," Viki replies. She takes out the recorder but decides she can't hurt Charlie. He wonders what's on the tape, takes it and plays Echo's confession. Echo appears just as Charlie hears she knew Rex was Clint's son. Viki leaves. "How could you do this to me?" Echo calls after her. She desperately tries explaining why she lied and how Clint threatened to send Rex to prison. Everyone warned Charlie about Echo. "I left my wife for you!" Charlie cries. Echo's taken away everything from him, even his will to stay sober. Charlie feels used and refuses to ever forgive Echo. He packs his bags and leaves saying, "You're the biggest mistake I ever made." Echo cries for him to come back then vows revenge on Dorian and Viki.
In his hospital room, Clint's doctor asks if he understand his prognosis. Clint does. Later, Echo appears and lashes out at Clint. How did Niki Smith get a recording of their conversation? "Dorian," Clint replies. He had no choice but to give Dorian the tape and admits she was going to let him die if he didn't. Echo needs to find out if Viki has the tape and leaves. Bo appears and asks how Clint is doing. "I'm dying," Clint replies.
Out in the hallway, Dorian stops Viki. Once she's sure she's Viki, Dorian admits she knew about Echo and Charlie's affair. She brings up the recording she gave to Niki Smith and starts digging through Viki's purse. Dorian plays Viki Echo's taped confession. Echo appears, sees Viki in the elevator and tries to stop the doors from closing. Dorian informs Echo that Viki's on her way to prove she's been lying to Charlie all along.
Echo finds Viki in her motel room. "What's a matter?" Niki asks. "You've never seen an alter before?" Echo realizes she's Niki Smith and starts to call Charlie. Niki plays the recording Dorian gave her of Echo confessing about Clint being Rex's father. Echo hangs up the phone and tries to take the recorder. Just as Echo gets the upper hand, Charlie bangs on the door and calls out to her. Niki laughs then hides while Echo ushers Charlie in and straight into the bathroom. Niki quickly slips out then stands at the closed door and listens as Echo tells Charlie she has something to tell him about his wife. Echo talks about how Viki was there and threatened her. Charlie promises no one is going to take him away from Echo.
Still outside the diner, Echo and Charlie talk about the trouble Dorian's trying to cause for them. However, Echo admits she's glad Dorian's there for Viki. The situation must be tough for her. Charlie thinks Tess leaked the photo of them and says, "That girl doesn't care who she hurts."
Before Echo and Charlie enter the diner, she listens to Clint's message about staying quite, while Charlie checks in with Rex. Inside, Dorian stands next to Destiny in shock over the photo of Echo and Charlie. When she sees them enter the diner, Dorian alerts them to their public outing on television. Echo and Charlie leave, hoping Viki didn't see the broadcast. Dorian follows them outside and lashes out at the couple. They make excuses for falling in love. When Charlie brings up how Clint manipulated them, Dorian claims Echo's known all along that Clint was Rex's father. Charlie refuses to believe it. Echo urges Dorian to ask Clint. He'll back her up. Dorian promises to do so and leaves. Echo promises Charlie she never knew for sure if Clint was Rex's father. Back inside, Phyllis Rose implies to her viewers that Nora could have killed Eddie Ford. A reporter listens as Destiny calls "Access Llanview." Destiny thinks Phyllis Rose has no idea who killed Eddie. While Destiny's on hold, the reporter approaches her and convinces Destiny to let her help prove that Matthew's mom is innocent. The reporter listens intently as Destiny talks about the 'rough time' Matthew's been going through.
Down at the carriage house, Rex blames Jack for Shane's suicide attempt. Jack, who's clearly shaken, turns his back on them, as Rex shows Blair Shane's goodbye note. In tears, Blair listens to Rex explain how they found Shane ready to jump. Blair is deeply sorry. Rex wonders if Jack is. Jack didn't realize Shane was so screwed up. They were just having fun. When Jack suggests Shane was just trying to get Rex's attention, Rex grabs him. Echo appears. Blair pulls Rex off Jack. She promises Jack will face what he did but warns Rex, "Don't you ever lay a hand on my son again!" After Blair and Jack leave, Rex tells Echo that Shane tried to kill himself. Echo blames herself for not coming forward. Rex takes the blame. He's as bad a father as Clint. Echo stops Rex from saying anymore. He needs to concentrate on Shane now. After Echo leaves, Clint appears and faces Rex.
Echo appears at the Buchanan Mansion and tells Clint about her affair with Charlie. Viki knows.

The Dish: The Gettysburger at Blueberry Hill
Categories: Restaurant News & Reviews, The Dish
I, um, also keep a Lincoln doll on my desk. He was a gift from my grandmother, who used to love to shower me with useless gifts. At one time, he had a stovepipe hat, but it blew away one blustery day in eighth grade when I took him to school to be a visual aid in a communication arts presentation. As compensation, somewhere along the line he acquired a pukka shell necklace. These days, we pretend it's a gift from President Obama.
So anyway, when I heard that Blueberry Hill (6504 Delmar Boulevard; Web site) was serving something called The Gettysburger this weekend in honor of old Abe's birthday, I decided it was high time for us to have a lunch date, just the two of us, outside the office. After all, a guy doesn't turn 200 every day.
|"Four score and seven -- no, wait, uh, eleven score and, um, twelve years ago..."
Since it's the brainchild of Joe Edwards, a portion of the proceeds from the Gettysburger (on the menu through Sunday) will go towards financing the revived Loop Trolley.
A true son of Springfield might have preferred a horseshoe sandwich, a beef patty piled with fries and cheese sauce, but alas, this is merely St. Louis, so Lincoln had to content himself with American cheese and fries on the side.
Our server, Christy, left us with our copy of the Gettysburg Address after we placed our order. Abe skimmed it over to see if it had changed any in the seven score and six years since he'd written it. It hadn't, though he allowed that it looked much nicer printed on heavy paper stock than it did in its original form, scrawled on the back of an envelope.
For reading material, I had brought along Lincoln: The Biography of a Writer by Fred Kaplan, but Lincoln rejected it in favor of the current issue of Esquire. He enjoyed the breakfast recipes, but seemed disappointed that the frock coat and stovepipe hat would not be coming back into fashion this summer. But his stubble is quite au courant.
|The fry is mightier than the sword!
The Gettysburger was superb, slightly charred, but also pink and juicy. Maybe it was patriotism, but it tasted better than the regular Blueberry Hill burger. Or it could have been that I was just extra hungry. The fries, I must also add, were unusually crisp and spectacular today, with just enough grease to make them go down easy.
I paid the check. The Gettysburger, alas, does not fall into the category of $6 Gourmet, but on Lincoln's Birthday, you ought to live a little (even if Lincoln himself cannot).
Outside, walking past the model of the Loop with trolley, I noticed that the omnipresent music from the loudspeaker had changed from Judy Garland singing "The Trolley Song" to the O'Jays' "Love Train," probably in honor of Valentine's Day.
I am not sure if we have Abraham Lincoln to thank for the O'Jays -- think butterfly effect -- but it felt good to be able to celebrate his birthday with some nice red meat and fries. It was an occasion for dancing. So I did my uncelebrated white-girl wiggle back to the office. I am sure that if Abe were able, he would've been dancing, too.
|"Hey! That guy looks familiar!"
Update, Feb. 13: Joe Edwards called me last night to tell me personally how much he appreciated my Lincoln enthusiasm and to offer me a gift certificate for another Gettysburger and an invitation to visit the talking Lincoln, which says twenty things. My (usually silent) Lincoln and I were duly impressed.
