Recipe by Sheila Martin
"Pureed tofu is the secret of this delicious, creamy, tomato sauce. Rotelle works well with this recipe, but you can substitute any other pasta."

16 ounces
colored rotini pasta
1 (16 ounce) jar
roasted red bell peppers
9 ounces
low-fat, firm silken tofu
1 1/2 tablespoons
tomato paste
2 cups
vegetable broth
1 tablespoon
balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon
Italian seasoning
onion, chopped
10 spears
asparagus, sliced diagonally
8 ounces
fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon
minced garlic
1 (16 ounce) can
diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon
hot chile paste
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
Wow, this was delicious! my first time using tofu, and it turned out wonderful. Like other reviewers, I just added diced tomatoes instead of the jar of peppers. Then added some veggies i had on hand, some extra spices (paprika, pepper, and red pepper flakes) and it was ready...very flavourful. It also froze and thawed well. Thanks!
I love the idea, but the 2 cups of broth is WAY!! too much. Use 1/4 c., maybe?

I was very pleased for my first try cooking with tofu. Easy recipe and delicious. My very picky 7 year old niece ate 3 bowls! Instead of asparagus and mushrooms, I used fresh spinach and zucchini.
This was good, though more of a pepper sauce than a tomato sauce. Might be better if you substituted some crushed tomatoes for the peppers.
This was my first recipe using tofu. I really liked the texture it gave the sauce. The only thing different I did was to add about 1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan to the sauce instead of putting on top. Will definately make again.
I really, really liked this recipe. The flavors are great! I was worried my husband would not like the roasted red pepper flavor, but he liked it as well.
I agree with leaving out the peppers and substituting tomatoes. Liked the cream sauce idea. I also cooked the mushrooms and onions in 1 cup veggie broth (instead of oil) until most of the liquid was gone. They added a great flavor. Will make again without the peppers. The peppers I had gave it more of a vinegar flavor.
This was very creamy and quite good. I added cayenne pepper instead of the chili paste. I agree with the reviewer that said something is missing. I increased the salt, tomato paste, italian seasoning but was still not able to fix it.

Winston Reid became the latest addition to West Ham's growing injury list when he dislocated his shoulder in the opening minutes of Tuesday's match against Bristol City.
With so many players now out of contention Sam Allardyce has said he will be searching the loan market for a replacement between now and 25th November when the emergency loan market closes.
Reid is set to be out for a minimum of 4-5 weeks but it will be longer if an operation or pinning is needed. This comes as a blow to the Hammers as the 23 year-old has stood out this season, most notably against Brighton when he was invaluable in shutting down the Seagulls' persistent attacks. Reid is optimistic though, telling fans on Twitter that the initial signs are good and he's hoping for a speedy recovery.
John Carew was absent from Tuesday's game due to a knee injury that is still being assessed. Matt Taylor, Guy Demel and Gary O'Neil are the other players currently on the injury list.
Allardyce has already recalled striker Robert Hall from his loan spell at Oxford United and is hopeful that some of the injured players, such as Matt Taylor, will be available for selection following the international break that will begin after the Hull game on Saturday.
Despite their injury woes West Ham are marginal front-runners to take 3 points away from Hull on Saturday with best odds of 2.63 at Boylesports. The Tigers are at 3.0 with Bet365 to win the game while Skybet are offering best odds of 3.3 for a draw.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) – Residents living in Brunswick County were able to get a good look at what offshore wind turbines might look like off of our coast.
Monday evening the Federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management hosted a public meeting to display their results of a visualization study.
"I think they're great. It's the way of the future," said Art Fontaine.
Fontaine has spent the last several years enjoying the Carolina coastline.
He says he attended Monday's public meeting to learn more about the wind turbines that could potentially obstruct the view he loves.
"When looking at the pictures, the larger model looks like a ship sailing across the ocean about 10 miles away," said Fontaine.
Dozens of people from across the county attended the meeting sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
"Looking at the economic boom that this could be to North Carolina, but to the entire east coast," said Randy Sturgill.
Sturgill doesn't just live in the area; he works as a campaign organizer in favor of the wind turbine project.
Officials set up a simulation so residents could see what the turbines would look like if they were built.
"A visual stimulation of what it is going to look like from the beaches. That is a major concern for people and I think this simulation will put those fears to rest," said Sturgill.
Officials say any decisions on the project is still several years away.
Another public meeting is scheduled from Wednesday, August 14 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the South Brunswick Islands Center, 9400 Ocean Highway 17 W; Carolina Shores, N.C. 29467.

The creation of this elegant gentleman's farm in the heart of the historic Hudson Valley began more than a decade ago when the current owners began to look for the ideal parcel of land large enough to develop into a luxurious haven for their growing family and to graciously entertain guests. The search ended when a neighboring family, known for their devotion to land conservation and country life, recognized kindred spirits and made available 350 acres of their own land.
The property features stunning mountain views with dramatic sunsets, rolling hills, meadows and woods, streams and ponds. The owner's architect, Tom Phifer, previously a design partner of Richard Meier, collaborated with famed landscape designer, Dan Kiley, to create the property offered
The land itself is protected by conservation easements and is in an area of permanently open land with inviting trails for riding and walking through the countryside. The centerpiece of the property is a beautiful and exceptionally designed 8,800 sq.ft house which was featured in Architectural Record, April, 2003.
It was built in 2001, and with 6 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms plus 3 half bathrooms, the house is well equipped for family and friends. Among the luxurious

Today, I will take the question I gave you in the last post (and that is all we will tackle today!) It is a question from GMAT prep test so it is quite indicative of the tricky questions you might get on actual GMAT. Solving the question takes less than two minutes since the calculations required are negligible. However, if you start calculating the actual value, you could end up spending many painful minutes before giving up. I implore you to always remember that GMAT does not give you calculation intensive questions. Since they do not provide you with an HP12C, there will always be a logical solution -– you will just need to think a little harder! Let's get going then…
Question 3: For every integer m from 1 to 10 inclusive, the mth term of a certain sequence is given by [(-1)^(m+1)]*[(1/2)^m]. If T is the sum of the first 10 terms in the sequence, then T is
(A) greater than 2
(B) between 1 & 2
(C) between 0.5 and 1
(D) between 0.25 and 0.5
(E) less than 0.25
I agree that the expression for the mth term looks daunting. But as we discussed last week, the first step in a sequence question should be to write down the first few terms of the sequence. So let's do that and see what we get.
We get the first term by putting m = 1
First term = [(-1)^(1+1)]*[(1/2)^1] = 1/2 (Not so bad, eh?!)
Second term = [(-1)^(2+1)]*[(1/2)^2] = -1/2^2 = -1/4
Third term = [(-1)^(3+1)]*[(1/2)^3] = 1/2^3 = 1/8
Do we see a pattern?
The tenth term will be [(-1)^(10+1)]*[(1/2)^10] = -1/2^10 = -1/1024 (You don't need to calculate this of course. You can keep it as 2^10. I do suggest though that you should be good with the first 10 powers of 2, first 6 powers of 3, first 4 powers of 4 and first 3 powers of 5 to 10.)
The sequence looks like this: 1/2, – 1/4, 1/8, – 1/16, …
Of course GMAT doesn't expect us to calculate this. One could end up wasting a lot of precious time if one did. The trick is to know that we need to figure out the answer using some shrewdness. Fortunately (or unfortunately), GMAT software rewards cunning and craft!
The problem is that we have positive and negative terms so it is very hard to say what the value of T will be. But the terms are not random. There is a positive term followed by a negative term which is then followed by a positive term and so on. Also, every subsequent term is smaller than the previous term (in fact it is a Geometric Progression but we don't need to know that to solve this question. Nevertheless, we will take up GP too in a couple of weeks).
We need to create some uniformity so that we can deduce something about T. We have 10 terms. If we couple them up, two terms each, we get 5 groups:
Tell me, can we say that each group is positive? From a larger number, you are subtracting a smaller number in each bracket. The first number is greater than the second number in each group e.g. 1/2 is greater than 1/4, therefore, (1/2 – 1/4) = 1/4 i.e. a positive number
Similarly, (1/8 – 1/16) = 1/16, again a positive number.
This means T = 1/4 + 1/16 +…. (all positives)
Definitely this sum, T, is greater than 1/4 i.e. 0.25
So we can rule out option (E). But we still have to choose one out of the four remaining options.
Now, let's group the terms in another way.
You leave out the first term and start grouping two terms at a time. The last term will be left alone too! You will be able to make four groups with the 8 terms in the middle.
Now look closely at each group: The first term is a negative number with a higher absolute value while the second term is a smaller positive number so the sum will give you a negative number, e.g.:
(-1/4 + 1/8) = -1/8
(-1/16 + 1/32) = -1/32 etc
This means T = 1/2 – 1/8 – 1/32 … -1/1024
All 4 of the groups will give you a negative number and the last term is also negative. Since the first term is 1/2 i.e. 0.5, we can say that the sum T will be less than 0.5 since all the other terms are negative.
So the sum, T, must be more than 0.25 but less than 0.5.
Answer has to be option (D).
There are other ways of arriving at the answer here. We will look at it from the Geometric Progression perspective some time later.
I will leave you now with a question I saw somewhere once. Let's see if you can use your craft to arrive at the answer in a minute! (absolutely do-able)
In the infinite sequence A, the nth term, A(n), is given by x^(n-1) + x^n + x^(n+1) + x^(n+2) + x^(n+3) where x is a positive integer constant. For what value of n is the ratio of A(n) to x(1+x(1+x(1+x(1+x)))) equal to x^5?

Good One !
It is great that you take official questions for our understanding!
Is the answer to the last question C? If not, please tell me why! Thanks
Hi Karishma,
Great information as usual
I did the first question, which is form the last post, in a slight different way. I have seen that you have acknowledged that it can be done in other ways.
Please suggest, if you might, that the process I have used would lead to a road-block in GMAT. Although there is no generic way, but surely there are some ways better than the other.
In a stipulated time-span, how would suggest to practice.
My process for your evaluation:
First, I evaluated the terms until 4. I did this to check the pattern when consecutive pairs are added. Since we have 10 terms if we can find a pattern among consecutive pairs, then we can consider that as a generic growth.
1st term = 1/2 = 2/4
2nd term = -1/4
Sum (1st & 2nd) = 1/4
3rd term = 1/8 = 2/16
4th term = -1/16
Sum (3rd & 4th) = 1/16
We can see that sum of second consecutive pair is 1/4 of first. We can assume that the next term would be
1/64, and similarly the 4th and 5th pair would be 1/256, 1/1024
Now we can add all the terms:
1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + 1/1024 => addition is easy as we are dealing with just multiples of 2 on the numerator
256 + 64 + 16 + 4 +1 341
—————————— = ——————- ~ 0.3
1024 1024
What do you say?
Oops sorry,
—–> the post messed up the structure.
I wanted to say we get:
I should have read your explanation without shouting like a mad man. apologies.

Enjoy a fast-paced look at the construction of the STEPS building.
Students enter the one-story A wing of the STEPS building. The 135,000-square-foot structure is home to 50 teaching and research labs, including state-of-the-art facilities for undergraduate courses in chemistry and biological sciences.
Lehigh's STEPS (Science, Technology, Environment, Policy and Society) building, the university's largest investment in a decade in undergraduate science and engineering education, has opened for classes and research.
Faculty members and graduate students in earth and environmental sciences and in environmental engineering moved into the $62-million building over the summer. Classes began Aug. 30, the first day of the fall semester.
The 135,000-square-foot structure is part of the $85-million STEPS initiative, which is assembling engineers, natural scientists and social scientists to work on problems in energy and environmental sustainability.
A faculty committee worked five years with the office of facilities services and campus planning to plan the STEPS building. The building's architect, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson of Philadelphia, also designed the Alumni Memorial Building's arrival court and parking garage.
The planners' goal, says Frank Pazzaglia, department chair of earth and environmental sciences (EES), was to promote the interaction of people and the exchange of ideas.
A flow of people and ideas
"The planning committee," says Pazzaglia, codirector of the Environmental Initiative (EI), "put a ton of effort into designing labs, classrooms and open spaces so that one activity would flow into another."
STEPS' three wings form an L at the northeast corner of Packer Avenue and Vine Street. Packard Laboratory stands across Packer Avenue. An enclosed walkway joins STEPS to Maginnes Hall.
The A wing houses the administrative offices of the EES department, the environmental engineering faculty, the EI and the Energy Systems Engineering Institute. Faculty offices are situated along the east face of the B and C wings. Research labs are interspersed with teaching labs and classrooms. Informal seating areas are equipped with whiteboards.
STEPS' 50 new research and teaching labs include 10 teaching labs dedicated to undergraduate courses in biological sciences and chemistry. These contain state-of-the-art instrumentation, and more seats, hood space and preparation rooms.
A critical role for glass
The junction of the B and C wings contains STEPS' largest open space—a five-story atrium whose glass curtain wall is etched with an image by artist Larry Kirkland of the roots, trunk and branches of a tree.
Throughout STEPS, glass highlights the activities of researchers and softens the boundaries between building and environment. Hallway windows look into labs, while display cases show off discoveries from past and present. A floor-to-ceiling window wall along the A wing's north face looks onto a courtyard of native plants and grass. Windows in offices and labs feature fritted glass, vertical fins and horizontal sunshades that mitigate glare while allowing optimal sunlight to penetrate.
"The transparency," says Tony Corallo, associate vice president for facilities services and campus planning, "helps eliminate boundaries between the inside and outside of the building. It also encourages a sense of community among the building's occupants."
Certification by the LEED Rating System
With a variety of features that minimize energy and water use while maximizing the benefit of natural light and heat, STEPS has been designed for silver certification by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. Also, an 8,000-square-foot green roof atop the A wing absorbs the sun's heat and carbon-dioxide, and releases oxygen.
In addition to the EES department and the department of civil and environmental engineering, the faculty members affiliated with STEPS represent education, international relations, history, journalism and communication, political science, and sociology and anthropology.
The researchers believe their new proximity will make it possible to join forces on such areas of common interest as water quality, climate change, alternative energies, carbon capture and sequestration, and resource development.
"STEPS will help us develop overarching research programs that tie together the science, technology and policy issues that underlie virtually all modern environmental issues," Pazzaglia says.
"Being under one roof," says Derick Brown, EI codirector and associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, "will enable all of us working on environmentally related research to interact daily.
"We're looking forward to moving from hallway conversations to collaborative research projects that take aim at some of the grand challenges facing society."

The Detroit Tigers paid tribute to Magglio Ordonez prior to Sunday's game with the New York Yankees. Ordonez officially announced his retirement from baseball this week after 15 stellar seasons.
With Ordonez's family present at Comerica Park, along with Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski, manager Jim Leyland, Al Kaline, and owner Mike and his wife, Marian, the Tigers hosted a 20-minute long ceremony that included the unveiling of a painting commemorating Ordonez's 2006 ALCS-clinching home run.
After Tigers radio play-by-play man Dan Dickerson opened the ceremony with a few comments and a tribute video aired on the scoreboard, Ordonez walked in, fittingly, from right field. The large crowd at Comerica Park greeted him with a raucous standing ovation.
Ordonez then spoke briefly and said thanks to the organization and fans (Turn up your volume for the videos):

1 1/8 cups
unsalted butter, softened
2 cups
sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons
orange zest
2 tablespoons
orange juice
4 tablespoons
Excellent. I piped this into rosettes on a parchent lined baking sheet and stuck them in the freezer. Served them with plum pudding and a brown sugar sauce.
The texture and flavor were excellent until I started putting in the zest. The orange flavor was overwhelming to my Plum Pudding, and the brandy curdled the mix. No one else had curdling trouble so that must just be me, I didn't take a star off for that. I can see how this sauce would be delicious on cinnamon rolls but it was just too much for plum pudding. Leaving out the juice and zest and adding the brandy a little at a time to taste would have yielded a perfect sauce. Oh well. Next time!

This is delicious. I'd never had hard sauce before and didn't know what to expect. I used bourbon because that was what I had on hand. Don't be confused by the word "sauce." This comes out as a spread. I served this with Chocolate Plum Pudding found on this site.
Pretty yummy. This recipe makes a LOT of the brandy butter. Next time I think I'd cut it in half.
This was delicious--I didn't have an orange on hand, so used 1 t. vanilla instead
I wasn't taken by this. It seemed to add little to my dessert.
The Hard Sauce is sensational with peach, or any fruit cobbler.

Woman critical after fall in garage
HUNTINGTON — An employee of Huntington Junior College was seriously injured Friday morning when she fell from one floor to another in a downtown garage.
The incident happened shortly after 9:30 a.m. in the Central Huntington Garage, located in the 900 block of 5th Avenue next to Jim's Spaghetti.
Authorities confirmed the victim's identity as Patricia King, who is listed as the associate director of financial aid on the Huntington Junior College website.
Staff at Cabell Huntington Hospital listed her in critical condition Friday evening.
King fell approximately 6 feet from the garage's fourth floor to its third, said Huntington Fire Chief Randy Ellis. He described her as unconscious at the scene.
Garage manager Larry Keezee said the woman's car trunk was open. Indications are she was getting something from it when she fell. Her head hit the next level's concrete floor.
Keezee estimates the incident happened within five minutes of a very brief power outage, but there was no word on whether that outage contributed to her fall.
Floors in the parking garage are split-level with a mezzanine between, and to the side of each floor. The design has no barrier between where one car backs in and the mezzanine approximately 6 feet below. Keezee attributed the lack of any such barrier to the building's original design.
"It's something that they may want to definitely look at," he said.
Firefighters and paramedics used a pickup truck to transport King from the third floor to an ambulance waiting at the garage's entrance. Its restricted clearance height prevented an ambulance from driving to the scene.
Investigators from the Huntington Police Department photographed the scene later at the request of Police Chief Skip Holbrook. They do not believe any crime to have been committed, but Holbrook wanted to document the scene due to the seriousness of King's injury, said Huntington Police Lt. John Williams.

Happy Hour at Mango Peruvian Cuisine: Imbibing, Incan Style
Mango Peruvian Cuisine (1101 Lucas Avenue, 314-621-9993)
Jennifer Silverberg Flan at Mango plates vanilla custard made with eggs and liquor, drizzled with caramelized topping.
The Hours: Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., and late-night happy hour Monday through Thursday from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
The Deal: $5 margaritas, martinis and wines, $3 premium drafts, $16 pitchers of sangria and $5 select small-plate dishes.
The Scene: Mango is a hip little Peruvian restaurant and bar located a brief walk away from Washington Avenue in the heart of downtown St. Louis. The restaurant is touted as "the only Peruvian restaurant in St. Louis," and as far as we know, that's accurate. If your idea of Peru involves Machu Picchu and free-roaming llamas, then check yourself at the door -- Mango is a very classy, modern space with an upscale, yet exotic menu. The dim lighting gives the restaurant an air of affluence -- we feared we were about to spend our life savings to wine and dine. But the food is not so expensive, and it's made even more affordable during happy hour.

Gut Check tried one of the small plates on special, the beef anticuchos, which are beef skewers served with chunky Andean corn. For the more adventurous, there's the option of trying the anticuchos de corazón -- those of you who speak Spanish know this means that these skewers are made using beef heart. Notably absent (perhaps for the best) from the menu was cuy, an Andean delicacy made of roasted guinea pig, which Gut Check has had the pleasure (misfortune?) of trying on a visit to Peru. The rest of the menu is very authentic and true to Peruvian form. Native Peruano, head chef and owner Jorge Calvo brought an all-Peruvian culinary team to cook at his restaurant, and the menu reflects that authenticity.
The $5 margaritas, martinis and wines are also worth mentioning. Made with quality ingredients, like Grey Goose vodka and pomegranate liqueur, these drinks normally run between $8 and $10. Pace yourself -- the martinis are sweet, but surprisingly stiff.
Caillin Murray The pomegranate martini at Mango.
Why You'll Go Back: Mango's take on chips and salsa was so addictive we may have to enter rehab. Instead of the classic tortilla chips and tomato salsa combo, Mango serves complimentary plantain chips with a cool lime salsa that was simply out of this world. If it alone doesn't make you want to revisit Mango, that's fine. More for us.
The Verdict: Mango is an affordable, adventurous option on Wash. Ave. It might be your only chance to try Peruvian food in St. Louis, so if Imo's Pizza or T-ravs (or T-ravs at Imo's) ever get old (yeah, yeah), try the empanadas or fried yucca at Mango.

Biochemistry: Structure and function of heme-dependent enzymes
Our laboratory is interested in the relationship between an enzyme's structure and its catalytic function in biological systems. In particular, we focus on enzymes that require the organometallic cofactor heme in order to function. Heme is used by a surprisingly broad range of enzymes to accomplish an equally broad range of biologically essential tasks. For example, these enzymes are central to metabolizing foreign compounds, safely disposing of H2O2 (a toxic side product of aerobic metabolism), and mounting an effective immune response. In spite of the many and very different functions accomplished by heme-dependent enzymes, each of them relies on this organometallic molecule to accomplish the job. Clearly, the protein structure surrounding the heme group is what dictates the unique catalytic abilities of each heme-dependent enzyme.
The Goodwin laboratory is using a group of bacterial enzymes called catalase-peroxidases to shed light on a poorly understood but very important aspect of the heme enzyme structure/function equation. Using these enzymes, we are demonstrating that structural components quite distant from the active site heme have a critical role in directing and fine-tuning the catalytic capabilities of heme enzymes. Not only does our research answer fundamental questions about the nature of catalysis in biological systems, but it also provides specific insight that is foundational for technological advances through enzyme engineering. The ability to engineer new enzymes for unique functions holds great promise for addressing urgent concerns that are global in their scope and impact (e.g., contamination of the environment by toxic pollutants).
Our research also has implications for and applications toward substantial biomedical concerns, including antibiotic resistance and bacterial virulence. Catalase-peroxidase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been exploited for the activation of the front-line antitubercular agent isoniazid to its antibiotic form. Interestingly, the increasing prevelance of isoniazid resistant M. tuberculosis is strongly tied (over 70% of resistant strains) to mutations that compromise the ability of catalase-peroxidase to catalyze activation. Furthermore, a group of catalase-peroxidases have been identified as potential virulence factors in pathogens such as Escherichia coli strain O157:H7 and Yersinia pestis, both of which are recognized as high priority threats as agents of bioterrorism. Nevertheless, how these enzymes may operate as virulence factors has not been illuminated. Clearly, there are important benefits to be derived from understanding the structure and function of the catalase-peroxidases.

At the Jammin' The Harbor concert I got the esteem privilege of meeting Barry Harris, a 17-year-old pianist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was anxious to see his performance because I had heard so much about him and his success thus far; quite frankly nothing excites me more than to see a young artist blossom in their respected media. What I saw was nothing less than amazing; Harris' crystal clear voice and witty stage persona made him a true candidate for an exclusive interview with us. His story and maturity will amaze you as you read his responses to our questions. Look for Harris in the near future, as he is going to be huge.
How long have you been playing the piano? Did you take lessons or did it come naturally?
I've been playing the piano for fourteen years and that all started when I asked my parents for lessons. My dad showed me the notes and a couple songs. When I walked up to a Radio Shack keyboard display and gave an impromptu performance, my parents knew it was time for lessons.
I grew up seeing Barry Manilow behind the piano everytime I saw him at a concert or on television. The fact that my dad also played piano was a significant influence. While professional musicianship runs in families, it really didn't in my family; he just played for fun.
Well, it gives me a whole different dynamic of expression compared with six strings on a guitar. It has been a defining element to my sound as an artist and to my performance on the stage. Except for rock gods like Eddie Van Halen or Slash, it's hard to create a unique element for a guitar-playing artist.
What positives can you contribute to someone taking up an instrument?
Are you familiar with the "my parents make me sit inside on a hot summer day to practice the violin for three hours" allegory, as on the TV show King of the Hill? Well, I see taking up an instrument as just the opposite of that. It should feel like a liberation of expression rather than a prison sentence. There are many children (or parents for that matter) that do it for all the wrong reasons. As for a great positive, I can say that the skills I developed learning an instrument have wired me to be successful in a classroom setting, especially in math and reading.
I'll give you a couple of quick takes since there's too many (about 18,000 songs on the iPod). Brian Wilson – He's taught me everything I've ever known about harmony just through his records. Bob Dylan – There are songs, and then there are Bob Dylan songs. I realized music was much more than verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge. I learned from Bob Dylan that there always should be substance. Even if it feels ambiguous, I now feel inspired to create deeper meaning in everything. Barry Manilow – Any good musician appreciates his body of work. Anybody beginning to play pop is told to never start with Manilow because of his chord changes and modulations. Since he was the first artist whose work I really studied as a pop musician, my standard of music was at a much higher level earlier on.
I tell anybody looking to start in the music industry that it is a crap shoot. For every major credit on my resume, there are at least a hundred of dismal failures. I showed up at every audition I could find in the trade paper or online. I made the audition reel on American Idol Juniors back in 2003, which gave me a fifteen minute national spotlight. I made it on Entertainment Tonight and MTV based on that moment alone. I also made it on to America's Most Talented Kids after months of going city-to-city to audition. Ironically, they discovered me through a video tape submission. During my season, Jordin Sparks was on the show, and she's gone on to many big things. After that success, I took on the initiative to create a website for when people started Googling my name. After five years online, barryharrismusic.com is now the fourth thing you see on Google for me.
Lately, my attention has been focused on my MySpace page. I jumped on the bandwagon and really discovered the potential of the Internet. I have 16,000 friends now and 200,000 views. From there, I've been able to use that as a platform for my most recent endeavor.
Yeah, I write much of my own material, but you won't hear them in most of my shows. I had to face it, people just really didn't care for the songs they didn't know. I like to stick to most of my interpretations of other songs for the most part. However, I don't stop writing. I have long periods where I don't finish much of what I write or don't record much, but I never stop. To be a writer, you have to be more perceptive than the average person. I've stopped in mid-conversation a few times to run for a piece of paper when I've inadvertently been inspired to write something. There's really no source in particular.
I should say that that particular CD keeps evolving. I replace older tracks with newer ones as I create them. It creates a great gift for family and friends when I need to get rid of my old CDs {laughs}. Two favorites are "Handle with Care," which was originally done by the Traveling Wilburys. I knew I had become a genuine vocalist when I was able to completely nail Roy Orbison's solo part in that song. It is such a great song to open with. Also, I like "I Can Hear Music." That juxtaposes elements of the Ronettes' and The Beach Boys' versions; the harmonies are spot-on.
At this point, the CD I sell at my shows is a compilation of tracks that I recorded for my MySpace page. But little by little, I've been previewing work-in-progress mixes for an actual album I have in the pipeline. It's all original, and I plan to vary the styles from song to song. There's a few songs partially recorded and some that I need to finish writing, but I got the main idea fleshed-out. I recorded an original song called "Can We Get It Back" at Capitol Studios last summer. To prove that stuff is coming, I put a video of the recording sessions as edited by my friend on my YouTube page. That'll be more on a grand scale; I get it up on iTunes and everything.
Well, I'd have to say the Hollywood Bowl. It's one of those places that have that special vibe. Funny story though, I actually have been on the stage at the Hollywood Bowl several times. Of course, it was in front of an empty sea of seats, but I know that is not far from reality.
I'm a big fan of classic rock. There was a time from the 1950s-1970s where everything was about pushing the boundaries of music. I'm talking about Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, and others in that vein. Every artist that I listen to has a tremendous impact. My latest additions to my iPod have been the catalog of Neil Young, David Bowie, John Mellencamp, and the Grateful Dead. The next batch of songs I write will probably show a big influence from those artists. My most recent batch of songs to date reflects an influence from Bruce Springsteen, the Beach Boys, and George Michael in my opinion.
Do you do the typical teenager stuff like date, go to dances, play video games? What's your favorite activity?
Actually, I really don't. I had a period when I decided that I was wasting my childhood away. I took a little break with my writing. But after time away, I realized that I missed the music. I missed recording, and I missed writing. My time is spent organizing my iTunes library and keeping up on current events. I am a big news junkie.
Well, I opted to put a big amount of effort into my school work because I felt that it would be my ticket to a good college with a good music program. In the process, I have become involved in activities; I anchor our school's morning news program. It makes it so much more fun if you're involved.
That said, I was admitted to the University of Southern California for the fall 2009 semester. I'll be majoring in Popular Music Performance, which is designed to explore the fundamentals of pop music. It's the first of its kind in the nation. This really appears to be a revolution in music education, and I'm proud to be a part of it.
I hope that they keep coming back because they enjoy what they hear. A big part of being an artist is building a brand with which people can identify. Certainly, if there were other people out there who are exactly who I am as an artist, they wouldn't keep coming back for more.
What does legacy mean to you? What do you want your legacy to be?
I know that artists come and go, but I hope to prove that I am here to stay. I want to go out and define my idea of success and make it happen on my own terms. I want people to always remember that I never compromise and I do what I love to do everyday.

President Doug Gay opened the Aug. 19th meeting of The Sanford Rotary and called on James Mitchell to lead the Rotary Prayer. Tom Spence directed the group singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
Richard Hayes won the 50/50 raffle of $13.
This week's visitors included Dave Shabaz of The Sanford Herald, Lisa Whalen of the Jonesboro Rotary Club and Woody Seymour.
President Gay announced that The Flame Steakhouse plans to re-open in mid-October. A reminder for the upcoming Communities In Schools "Stuff the Bus Campaign" was also announced.
Under "bragging," Sam Sillaman announced that his daughter will begin her junior year at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
David Foster presented a program on minor league baseball in North Carolina. There are six minor baseball leagues active in North Carolina, consisting of four leagues tied to Major League Baseball and two collegiate summer leagues. Foster informed the membership of North Carolina's important position within minor league baseball. North Carolina boasts nine minor league teams; only Florida (14), California (12) and New York (11) are home to more.
Foster gave an overview of how the six minor leagues are organized and which North Carolina teams are members of each. In the summer of 2015, a new team will be added to the Coastal Plain League. This team will be based out of Holly Springs.
David Foster concluded his program with a brief history of the Sanford Spinners, a member of the Bi-State and Tobacco State League during the post-War golden age of minor league baseball. He showed pictures of the newly constructed Temple Ballpark where the Spinners played their home games. He recommended Chris Holaday's "Baseball in North Carolina's Piedmont" for those interested in further information on the subject.
President Gay thanked Foster and told him that, in appreciation, a donation in his honor would be made to the Lee County Partnership for Children, and organization that provides books to local children from infants to five years old.
Bill Holt led the Pledge of Allegiance and David Nestor, the Four-Way Test.
Preparations for the 77th annual Lee Regional Agricultural Fair have been in full-swing for weeks now at the Sanford Lions Fairgrounds. Exhibit halls are being spruced up and improvements have been added in many facilities, while outside Lions have wielded paint brushes and rollers and shovels and maneuvered heavy equipment moving bleachers, earth and landscaping materials.
All of this, and more, to be ready for opening day on Tuesday, Sept. 9. Gates will open at 4 p.m. with the annual Fair Parade featuring the Southern Lee High School Marching Band. The official ribbon-cutting will be at 5 p.m. as Fair Chairman Richard Holshouser declares the 2014 event officially under way.
Amid all this work by Lions' members and fair participants, club business goes on. On Saturday, Aug. 23, the club hosted the annual Brighter Visions kick-off meeting for Lions from across District 31-F. Sanford President Phil Gurkin welcomed 33 representatives from 16 Lions Clubs plus five top district and state Lions leaders to the local club's den at the Lions Fairgrounds.
Clubs represented included Clinton, Lillington, Angier, Western Harnett, Aberdeen, Carthage, Pembroke, Pine Bluff, Ellerbe, Hamlet, Mt. Gilead, Laurel Hill, St. Pauls, Candor, Lumberton and Sanford.
District Governor Lynn McCaskill of Ellerbe presided while others on the program included Mike Flora of Rocky Mount, president of N.C. Lions Clubs, Inc.(NCLI); Steve Walker of Sherrills Ford, executive director of NCLI; Gary Steele of Cleveland in Rowan County, Brighter Visions state chair; Herb Justice of Raleigh, Camp Dogwood fund state chair; James Kiser of Buies Creek, district Brighter Visions chair and second vice district governor; and Rena Shedrick-Marshall of Hamlet, first vice district governor. Also participating from this area was Past District Governor Vince Schimmoller of theWestern Harnett Lions Club.
The Lions' Brighter Visions fund drive encompasses the primary programs that help the blind and visually impaired across North Carolina, including many local residents. This includes matching grants from the NCLI channeled through local Lions Clubs to help the needy pay for eye exams, glasses and surgeries. These funds also support clinical eye research, the Lions Mobile Eye Screening Unit, Camp Dogwood for the blind, white canes for the blind, educational grants for sighted children of visually impaired parents, the N.C. Lions VIP fishing tournament for the blind, and low vision aids and equipment.
When local Lions conduct fundraising projects, such as the Lee Regional Agricultural Fair, the sale of Camp Dogwood tickets, the annual Sanford Lions Golf Tournament, chicken plate sales and others, the proceeds not only help local visually impaired citizens, but a portion becomes part of a statewide support system that helps those in less fortunate communities. The club thanks the Sanford community whose generosity makes this possible.
The Jonesboro Rotary Club met Aug. 21 for a luncheon meeting at Golden Corral
Chris Kelley, new director of the Salvation Army's Sanford Service Center, was the guest of Lisa Whalen.
The club inducted two new members. David Spivey introduced Will Dubois of Systel Business System. He lives in Fayetteville, but his territory is Sanford and says he is in Sanford so much that he wanted to be active in a civic organization that serves the community.
Yvonne Bullard introduced Dave Shabaz. He is the new advertising director for The Sanford Herald. Shabaz comes to Sanford from Irvine, Calif.
Neil Jensen led the club in The Rotary Prayer.
Numerous Rotarians presented brags on happenings in their lives.
Ken Armstrong confirmed he will be leaving Sanford and his position with the Housing Authority to take similar duties in Gainesville, Fla. He stated that the thing he will miss most about Sanford is his Rotary experience. The service to the community, the friendships, and most importantly, the weekly gathering to be with friends, to eat, laugh, enjoy fellowship, and learn about needs and things of interest in our community and the world.
Ken Armstrong led the club in the Four-Way Test and Pledge.

Most all superstitions in video poker revolve around the concept of a Random Number Generator or RNG. Some players believe in machines that are hot for winning or cold for losing. Others think they'll hit a winning streak at some point, as if video poker machines are programmed to win or lose. Video poker machines aren't fixed to benefit players or make them lose. The RNG is the main component of all video poker machines, and a key to legalized gambling because it meets regulatory standards in gaming.
Random Number Generators
The RNGs work continuously, whether machines are being played or not. It ensures fair play, hence the first word in its title, "Random." Its function is to shuffle a 52-card deck - 53 cards if Joker Poker - and the deck is shuffled until a player selects "deal" or "draw." As soon as a player hits deal, the machine shaves off the top 5 cards for the player and returns to shuffling. It will shuffle until the player stops it again. In order to determine random numbers, a machine is programmed using a computation formula. The numbers may go through a statistical check from time to time to assess the machine's effectiveness. Generators are affected by temperature, device's age, power supply voltage or software and hardware bugs.
Hot and cold play is not mathematical, and video poker machines are, at least in the way the RNG is programmed. Video poker card combinations from the RNGs total 2.6 million. Players who believe they can hit a hot or cold machine are using their emotions to plan their next move in video poker. Realistically, a machine can have a higher temperature after it's played for long period of time, but this has nothing to do with winning. Often, a player will say the machine is hot or cold because they won or lost. The terms are only good for figurative speech.
A machine is never "due" for a win, nor does it give players real winning streaks. If a player is holding three aces, the player may think the machine is due to spit out the fourth ace. The RNG works through the card combinations. In a deck of 52 cards, there are more losing combinations than winning ones. Likewise, streaks are a fallacy in video poker because of the RNG. It is important for players to remember that the idea of streaks comes to mind after the players are done with the machines. Before players begin, they may have "hunches" that will guarantee them wins.
Hunches may or may not work, and are unrelated to the computation of the RNG. In addition, players might assume using their slot club cards will result in lower payouts. This is perhaps one of the worst things a player can believe. Slot club cards aren't tied to the RNG. Players should use their slot club cards without fearing they are earning less when they are actually raking in more. The benefits from using the slot club cards include complimentary casino gifts or cash rewards.
Other players think they should pull their player cards as the machines produce wins like a royal flush or four aces, so the casino doesn't realize the players won. The video poker machine's platform is programmed to communicate. As soon as it hits a win, a machine immediately produces the appropriate credits, which make musical noise for the entertainment of the players long after the credits are applied.
More Video Poker Myths Explained
While players have their own theories on how the cards are actually delivered for the deals and draws, the RNG works the same way for every deal or draw. After the deal, when it comes time for the player to hit draw, the RNG stops shuffling the remaining cards. The player is then given the number of respective cards off the top of the deck. Each hand is made up of cards from its own unique deck because of the RNG. Players need to remember when transitioning from single-hand poker to triple play poker, they should treat triple play the same as single-hand. Many might assume they will have more winning combinations in a triple play game, however, the hands are the same - random.
In winning combinations, players often like to hold onto their kicker cards. Kicker cards break ties. If two players have two kings each, and one player holds a queen as well, the queen will break the tie unless the other player is also holding a queen. In video poker, it's recommended players get rid of kicker cards, and take their chances for the better hand of three kings instead of two. The Triple Double Bonus, a video poker game, may be the exception. Players will want to develop strategies before entering into triple or double bonus games to ensure the best returns.
Video Poker for a Living
Most players will never be one of the nine final players in the World Series of Poker. Assuming casino poker or video poker generates enough income to survive is a pipe dream. Experts suggest anyone who draws for a career deal in poker first needs to fatten up the bank roll. Top poker players have one thing, if not more, in common - they play with mathematical minds that set up specific strategies to win. They also have patience that begins at the tables for hours of play and ends with people like casino employees, who may be rude or short with players. All of them play for fun, and they play sober. The good poker players can afford to play.
