Great Johannesburg Hotel Deals with HotelClub.com!
When you read that a city is a 'melting pot of cultures', chances are you yawn, roll your eyes and wish that the writer hadn't been given The Big Book of Clichés for Christmas.Thing is, though, in Johannesburg (Jo'burg or Jozi to the locals), it's the perfect description.
South Africa has 11 official languages, and in Johannesburg you get to hear them all. This is a city that rumbles along in a whirling chaos, with each culture nursing its own scars and prejudices, its own pride and traditions.
Most visitors come into Johannesburg and go right out again – off to Kruger National Parkfor a safari. And why not? After all, a safari is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences. But so, in its own way, is Johannesburg.
Johannesburg has its problems – with crime a serious concern. Yet it also has plenty of people trying to find the solutions and a sense of optimism that is apparent in places like Soweto, the once-infamous shantytown that is now transforming itself into a positive, modern suburb.
Despite the poverty and violence, there are pockets of real grace and beauty in Johannesburg – like in South Africa as a whole – that will leave you moved. So whether you're gaping in wonder at the UNSESCO World Heritage Cradle of Humankind, kicking back in the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens or being inspired at the Mandela Museum or Museum Africa, Johannesburg will not fail to leave an impression.
Johannesburg's Top 10
10. Wonder Cave 2.2 billion years old and counting. It's located outside of Johannesburg, but well worth a day trip.
5. National Zoological Gardens One of the best in the world. It has over 9000 animals and even includes an aquarium.
9. Johannesburg Art Gallery 15 exhibition halls, sculpture gardens, international works, but also South African Art.
4. Mandela Family Museum Nelson Mandela's former house is now a museum.
8. African Crafts Market Masses of crafts, ranging from African figures to drums and animal skins.
3. Top of Africa A tower that gives magnificent views of the city.
7. Soccer City Stadium The biggest stadium in Africa. It was called FNB (First National Bank) Stadium before the World Cup in 2010.
2. Apartheid Museum Trace the journey of South African apartheid history. It starts off with a turnstile that you pass through, which classifies you according to your skin colour.
6. Elephant Sanctuary Feed and groom the elephants or go on rides. Make a donation to beat the ivory poachers.
1. Lion Park Touch a lion cub, feed giraffes and have a look at the lion camps.

Johannesburs LocalJohannesburg Central Business District
The Central Business District (CBD) of Johannesburg has Africa's most jam-packed concentration of skyscrapers. The district also includes the Nelson Mandela Bridge, which was officially opened by the man himself. The 284-metre-long structure links to Constitutional Hill, where you can take a guided tour to understand how South Africa's unjust past has ended in freedom. The bridge also leads to the Market Theatre, a complex of three theatres, two galleries, restaurants, bars, and a jazz club. There's even a flea market held every Saturday morning.
Soweto was a separate city until the 1990s. Scene of the infamous 1976 'Soweto Massacre', its streets became synonymous with resistance against the white regime and its apartheid-driven policies. Spend time here to really soak up the enormity of that struggle and the changes it eventually brought about. The Mandela Family Museum and Hector Pietersen Museum are also worth visiting. For an insight into traditional African culture, the Credo Mutwa Village has restored Zulu and Sotho villages.
As the business centre of Johannesburg, Sandton is urban and busy. It's here you'll find plenty of restaurants and bars for nightlife fun and games. Whether you find the ever-present security guards comforting or off-putting is another matter. Also, get your picture taken with Nelson Mandela – or his Statue at least –at Nelson Mandela Square. The Gallery on the Square displays both international and South African art, while the 200-seater Theatre on the Square is the place to catch a show.
Johannesburg Eat & Drink
Johannesburg offers an array food from African to Asian food to fusion. Take care with what you try from road stalls, as hygiene standards vary greatly.
Moyo Make the most of modern pan-African fare at this tourist magnet. Music and dancing accompany the food.
Loft This restaurant has a New York feel to it, but offers modern South African cuisine.
Roots An award-winning fine-dining restaurant with fusion cuisine – influences from African, Asian and French flavours.
Karma Indian food with hints of contemporary flavours. Seriously hip place populated by seriously good-looking people.
Assaggi Perhaps the best Italian restaurant in the country. Not surprising because there's an asparagus and brie lasagne.
Orient A trendy eatery that dishes up Asian food. The menu includes everything from sushi to dim sum.
Auberge Michel serves innovative and high-quality contemporary French food.
Gramadoelas Authentic African food that the celebs love!
Lekgotla A trendy restaurant whose name translates to 'The Meeting Place'. Come here for African cuisine, if you can find a table amongst all the boozed-up businessmen.
Fino Bar and Restaurant Spanishand Mediterranean tapas best accompanied with a glass of wine or a cocktail.
Johannesburg Events
Get the New Year going at the Jo'burg Carnival in January. Vibrant and colourful floats glide past. (Or perhaps they stand still and the alcohol makes the world move. Either way, it's fun.)
In March, learn more about African art at the Jo'burg Art Fair at the Sandton Convention Centre.
The Women in Arts Festival in August showcases poetry, storytelling, dance, theatre and photography by women. The five-day festival is held in Newtown before Women's Day.
September sees a whole month of music, dance and theatre at the Arts Alive Festival.
Also in September is Johannesburg Pride. It lasts a week and culminates in the Gay Pride March. A great excuse for a party.
Out in Africa is a South Africa Gay and Lesbian Film Festival held in October since 1995, offering film screenings and workshops.
In October, celebrate the Hindu Festival of Lights at Newtown Diwali Festival. Festivities include dance workshops, fashion shows and food stalls.
The Good Food and Wine Festival takes place in November in the Coca-Cola Dome. Unsurprisingly, there will be lots of food and wine! Ironically, though, there isn't much Coca-Cola.
When To Go
In spring (September to November), temperatures reach 24°C (75°F).
Summer is from December to March, when temperatures stay around 13-26°C (55-79°F).
Autumn (April to May) sees temperatures in the 7-21°C (45-70°F) range.
Winter sees temperatures drop to 4-19°C (39-66°F) from June to August.
Getting Around
Renting a car is your best option in Johannesburg because public transport is limited. Only use the public bus if you truly know your way around. Take a taxi if you haven't rented a car, but only take the normal sedan taxis (they'll either be metered or, more likely, have a fixed price). Make sure you don't take the minibus taxis where you'd be sharing with other passengers.
What To Miss
Marlboro Station next to Alexandra is extremely dangerous. Avoid completely if possible.
Since crime rates are very high in Johannesburg, always be careful no matter where you are. And be especially mindful when using ATMs.
Muggings can happen even in broad daylight. Always wear a money belt and keep valuables locked away.
General Information
Johannesburg, or Joburg if you want to blend with the locals, is a truly global city, with a big economy and a metro population in excess of 7 million that by all accounts, will experience a phenomenal rise over the next decade. As a result, Joburg will play a progressively vital role on the world stage in the years to come. If you are headed to the 2010 World Cup this year be sure to book a hotel close to the action, check out these hotels near Soccer City Stadium or if your Ellis Park, select one of these great hotels near Ellis Park Stadium.
As the traditional pitstop on the way to Kruger National Park, Joburg has done much to entice visitors to stay for more than a brief respite prior to safari. The result is a phenomenal collection of museums, from the Museum Africa and Johannesburg Art Gallery, to the Apartheid Museum and Mandela Museum.

The Mission of the Premier Grand Isle 290 SL
In either the standard version with an 8'6" beam (2.59 m) or in the 10" (0.25 m) beam version the 290 SL is intended for unrestricted entertaining. Because she is a tri-toon by applying enough horsepower, she can also be used for watersports such as towing skiers or wakeboarders.
The wide stance of the two outboards gives it excellent maneuverability.
Distinguishing Features
●Center Toon Design. The 290's center toon is 36" wide, has a flat bottom and has flat sections on the side rather than being rounded. The flat bottom acts as a pad would on a mono hull, giving her better times to plane and a higher top speed than she should have with a rounded tube bottom.
●Wide-Stance Twin Engines. By placing the twin outboard engines outboard instead of a single on the centerline, Premier is able to build a large, stair-like boarding ladder on the centerline which is the most comfortable arrangement we have ever seen on a toon for reboarding.
●Best in Class Warranty. Premier has a lifetime warranty on the deck, tubes and furniture frames and 7 years on its Nano block vinyl upholstery. The rest of the Premier components are warranted for five years "stem-to-stern."
This Flexsteel lounge is high-tech and comfortable. Its frame has a lifetime warranty. No wood is used in its construction.
●ISO 9001:2008 Certified. The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a global network that identifies international standards, then creates assessment mechanisms so the builder can meet those standards in a repeatable way.
Major Standard Equipment
● 30" PTX package
● 25" outer tubes
● 11' Bimini top
● Aft vinyl deck
● Flexsteel chair and sofas
● Lounge arm changing room
● 5-step ss swim ladder
Layout plan for the standard 290 SL. Layouts can be customized for each owner.
Major Advantages
• PTX Package - The PTX performance package was designed to provide sportboat handling to larger pontoons that are able to accommodate higher horsepower. Famed marine design engineer Fred Cotey was tasked to bring his years of experience with Hydrostream Racing Boats to create a center pontoon tube that would enable sportboat-like handling. The result is the PTX Performance Package.
A lifting strake is added to the inside of each of the outer tubes. The center tube is flat at the bottom to serve as a lifting pad, beveled edges help the pontoon lean into the turns.
• Tube design. The twin outer tubes are 25" (63.5 cm) in diameter and are secured to the deck with M-brackets. Lifting strakes are added only to the insides of the outer tubes. The center tube is 36" (91.4 cm) across with a 12" (30.5 cm) pad at the bottom that acts as a lifting surface to give quick times to plane. The edges of the center tube are beveled to allow the pontoon the ability to roll into the turns.
All tubes are made in two pieces creating a single seam in the center of the length. Notice the shims raising the fences off the deck so water is not trapped on deck.
• Curved Bimini Supports – This adds a bit of style to what would otherwise be just squared off rails. The frame is also quite beefy with 2" (5 cm) square channels.
• Reinforced Deck Corners– Errant captains who tag the dock need not worry about damage, for the most part. The corners of the deck, as well as the front of the tubes, are protected against impact by rubber protecting strips and reinforced corners.
The raised helm console puts the driver above the passengers. The steering wheel is made of Hickory wood.
• NANO Block Upholstery. Premier claims to be the only pontoon manufacturer to offer soft and durable NANO Block Technology (NBT) vinyl. NBT has a NANO UV inhibitor that protects vinyl upholstery from mildew and other microbials up to three times longer than industry-standard finishes while maintaining and preserving the color longer, says the builder. It also protects against marks from ball point pens, grease, oil, etc.
Premier is one of the top-tier pontoon boat builders in the U.S. Its materials and processes of building is quality-oriented from start to finish. Perhaps most importantly the company will work with any buyer to customize anything necessary to adapt one of its models to an owner's needs.
This boat is like an aircraft carrier. The Premier 290 with a 10'(0.25 m) beam is the boat to have for those with wheel-chair bound passengers or those wanting the largest boat on the lake.

While everyone's focus is on the Washington Capitals, a couple
other bits of news emerged over the last 24 hours.
Carl Hagelin, 22, has signed with the Rangers and will report to the Connecticut Whale on an ATO. Hagelin tallied 18 goals and 31
assists in 44 games this season as a senior at the University of Michigan. Hagelin's time with the Wolverines came to an
end when the team fell to Minnesota-Duluth in the title game on Saturday. He will probably end up with the Whale next
season as well, but for now he
joins Dylan McIlrath and Andrew Yogan for the remainder of this season. Yogan already has two goals in two games and
McIlrath got into a fight in his first AHL game. Of the three, Hagelin is the closest to
joining the Rangers, and there's an outside shot that he makes the team out of
training camp. Hagelin has a reputation
for being a very strong two-way forward, and many are very excited about his
Also, word emerged yesterday that the Rangers will begin the
2011-2012 season in Stockholm
against the Los Angeles Kings on October 7th. The Rangers will also take on the Ducks on
October 8th. New York opened the
season overseas in 2008 and got off to a strong start, but as the season
progressed there were rumblings that the early overseas trip threw the team off
a bit. Eventually, Tom Renney was fired
and John Tortorella took over and led the team to the playoffs where the
Rangers were defeated by the Washington Capitals in seven games. Obviously the NHL is trying to display foreign
players like Henrik Lundqvist and Mats Zuccarello, but this probably isn't an
ideal situation for the Rangers.

The theatre department at the College of Eastern Utah announced that it will offer its first play of the 2007-2008 season, "Leading Ladies".
"Leading Ladies", was writeen by Ken Ludwig, and is being directed by Corey Ewan.
The play will be presented on Sept. 27-29 and October 1-2 at the Geary Theatre, 451 East 400 North, Price. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m.
In this hilarious comedy by the author of "Lend Me A Tenor", "Postmortem" and "Moon Over Buffalo", two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, Pa. is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces!
Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she meets "Maxine and Stephanie" that she finally gets a taste of it.
Eastern Utah Theatre will also produce the following shows for the 2007-2008 season.
"Proof" by David Auburn, will play November 8-10 and 12-13, 2007. The show will be directed by Todd Olsen.
For 2008, "Shadowlands" by William Nicholson, will play January 24-26 and 28-29, 2008, and will be directed by Corey Ewan.
The season will round out with "H.M.S. Pinafore" by Gilbert and Sullivan, playing March 6-8 and 10-11, 2008, and will be directed by Grady McEvoy.
For further information, call the Geary Theatre box office at 435-613-5335 or visit the College of Eastern Utah website at www.ceu.edu.

Read: Brad Richards Is Poised For A Big Season
In an interview with the NY Times, Brad Richards said that he thinks having played a full season in New York will help him get to a higher level of play.
I believe having a year under my belt and getting used to New York, I will be able to start off well, especially with all the great help around me.
Richards made similar comments on break up day back in May.
He has been projected to have 75 points, 76 points, and return to being a point per game player.

New York Rangers
vs Carolina Hurricanes
7 p.m., Wednesday
Madison Square
Rangers Record: 22-15-3
Hurricanes Record: 18-15-5
Tonight, Jan. 5, the Rangers take on the Carolina Hurricanes
at home. The Rangers, 1-2 over their most recent road trip, are playing their
first home game of the new year and still looking for their first win of 2011.
They are coming off two tough losses in Florida, one each against the Panthers
and the Lightning. After two days off, however, the Rangers should be ready to get
back in gear and back on the winning track.
The Hurricanes are coming off a disappointing overtime loss
against the Panthers on Monday. Carolina squandered an early lead to ultimately
result in overtime and a loss. The loss was particularly disappointing for the
Hurricanes because of the playoff situation, where they sit in ninth place,
four points out of a spot but with Florida only three points behind. The 'Canes
will be looking to make up some points against the Rangers tonight, a team
which they have been successful against in the recent past. Carolina has beaten
the Rangers in the teams' last three consecutive meetings, spanning the past
two seasons, all of which occurred at the Garden.
New York continues to suffer from injuries to forwards Derek
Boogaard, Ryan Callahan and Vinny Prospal. Additionally, forward Ruslan
Fedotenko suffered an injury to his hand while blocking a shot in Sunday's loss
to the Panthers. He is listed as day-to-day, but not expected to play against
Carolina tonight.
Rangers' sophomore defenseman Michael Del Zotto was sent
down to the Connecticut Whale, prompting the recall of defenseman Ryan
McDonagh, drafted in the first round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the
Montreal Canadiens. The 21-year-old defenseman has yet to make his NHL debut.
McDonagh, however, will not be playing in tonight's game, as Matt Gilroy gets
the start instead.
Tonight's goalie match-up should feature the Hurricanes' Cam
Ward against Henrik Lundqvist. Ward has been solid against the Rangers
throughout his career, posting a 2.12 GAA in 17 games against them.
Be sure to tune in as the Rangers look to attain their first
win of the new year!

NAPLES, Florida (WBBH) - A 69-year-old Naples, Florida woman made two hole-in-ones within 13 days at Cedar Hammock Golf Club.
Roz Kallet loves playing golf in the winter for many reasons.
Less than a year after moving from snowy central New York to Naples, she pulled out her trusty four-hybrid and attacked the par three island green at Cedar Hammock Golf Club.
"We watched the shot and it's one of those where the green is elevated- so the ball hit the green- bounced twice and rolled in the hole," Kallet said.
A hole in one for a 69-year-old grandmother! That's not something that happens every day.
But that's only half the story. Less than two weeks later, Roz put her tee in the ground on the fourth hole at Cedar Hammock, and got another hole in one on the same hole.
"I wacked away, and all of the sudden, one lady with us said, "oh my God- it's going in the hole!" I say- "oooh! Not again!" Kallet said.
Two hole in ones, on the same hole, within 13 days!
If that's not enough, Roz already had three career hole-in-ones before those two.

MASSENA - The Massena Central varsity football team bounced back from its first loss of the season by outscoring Canton Central 28-8 under the lights at Mike Nicholas Field on Friday.
Canton is a tough football team. Our guys really had to battle tonight, said coach Anthony Diagostino after the Raiders raised their NAC record to 4-1 by turning back an undermanned Bears that had 16 players dressed for the game.
For whatever reason, it took a while to get the wheels going offensively. Our defense definitely kept us in the game, especially in the first half, he added.
The Raiders worked their way to a 14-0 halftime lead then sandwiched two more touchdowns around the only Canton scoring in the third quarter before going on to settle for the 20-point win.
After pushing the Bears back on their opening drive, the Raiders took over on the Canton 48 for their first possession of the game. Two plays later, after an incomplete pass, senior runningback JP Reagan darted through the middle of the line and found his way down the right sideline for a 52-yard touchdown run. Jayce Lanning then added the first of his four PAT kicks to put Massena ahead 7-0.
While the Raider defense held the Bears to negative yardage through the first half, the offense struggled to consistently worked the ball downfield. Midway through the second quarter with the Raiders facing a fourth-down-and-four, quarterback Rory Corcoran connected through the air with Josh Manley cutting across the field for what turned out to be a 38-yard touchdown catch.
The Raiders pushed their lead to 21-0 early in the third quarter when Corcoran hooked up with Xavier Viskovich for an 18-yard touchdown strike but junior quarter Hunter Yerdon helped the Bears countered with a long scoring drive that ended with Yerdon finding his way into the endzone from 10 yards out before going on to run the ball in for the ensuing two-point conversion.
The Raiders answered with their final touchdown drive of the night, ending with Corcoran bolting across the goalline from 14 yards out.
Reagan finished with 95 yards on 10 carries while catching two passes for 10 yards. Corcoran ran for 50 yards on five carries and connected on six of 13 passes for 72 yards. Manley had three catches for 56 yards.
Defensively, Jeremy Malone notched eight tackles to lead a Massena effort that produced five sacks and an interception by Reagan, who tallied five tackles, including a sack. Senior Robert Cunningham and classmate Sam Gerber finished with two sacks each while junior Nolan Terrance had two tackles for negative yardage.
We got off to a nice start with three straight wins but weve hit a little valley our last couple of games. Were happy to get the win tonight but we werent as sharp as a I hoping wed be, noted Diagostino.
Weve got Gouverneur at home next week and we need to hammer down and focus on getting ready for that game, he added.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011Mike Carmody played Tennis for Lipscomb University and is now a self-employed actuary. He spends his time with his wife Bonnie and their six children. He also coaches a local cross country team, but took some time to talk about his memories at Lipscomb with LipscombSports.com.
What sport did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played tennis from 1988 to 1991. Lynn Griffith was the coach."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"I really enjoyed the spring break trips to Hilton Head with the tennis team. It was fun to hang out with the guys in a nice locale."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"Lynn Griffith had the biggest athletic impact on my life while at Lipscomb. He focused life training much more than tennis. He was a man I could emulate at an impressionable age of my life."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"I married Bonnie in December of 1990, one semester before we both graduated. We enjoyed being married while finishing school. It was a great transition to adult life after college."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"I had several key friendships at Lipscomb that positively impacted my life. Also, many professors took the time to teach beyond textbook and prepare me for a career."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"That is a tough question because I liked so many of them. Most of the math professors were intense, such as Richard Kulp and Gary Hall, but they prepared me well for my actuarial career. Sandra Collins taught me how to write, which was no easy feat for her. Linda Garner inspired me to read good books. Bill Ingram opened my eyes to the world of economics."
Where do you live now?
"Nashville, Tennessee. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com"
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I am a self-employed actuary. Actuaries manage future financial contingent risk for many organizations, including insurance companies and pension plans. Over my career I have had the opportunity to teach seminars, design financial products, start companies, draft legislation, file patents, and meet many interesting people. I also coach a local cross country and track team, Sovereign Grace."
Tell us about your family
"I have been married for twenty years to my loving wife Bonnie. We have six children - Sandy (20), Jonathan (18), Katherine (17), Lauren (16), Madeline (15), and Seth (14)."

Tool Test: 11 Quarter-Sheet Sanders
Applying Venetian plaster used to be a time-consuming process requiring patience and skill, so the job was mostly limited to master artisans. Today, even a first-time DIYer can get impressive results. The covering mimics the look of the stucco or polished marble found in old-world European architecture. The modern version of Venetian plaster has a multidimensional look featuring a textured, slightly raised surface that is the result of two or more layers.
Behr's Venetian plaster is applied with a putty knife. Wipe the plaster on the wall at a 15- to 30-degree angle relative to the floor or ceiling. Once it's dry, apply a second coat at a 60- to 90-degree angle. An optional topcoat protects the surface. (Note: For Venetian plaster or any other of these coverings, you'll need to prep the walls the way you would for a paint job—tape off the trim, fix cracks, and fill nail holes.)
Here's another throwback to older European-style wall coverings. Artisan finishes can be used on drywall or wood to give the impression of marble or stone. What makes these finishes unusual is that the various shades and hues in the paint seem to change depending on the light that shines on the wall, so as the lighting changes it highlights different colors. The finishes can range from decorative to rustic to natural.
Artisan Impressions by Sherwin-Williams allows for three application techniques, each of which creates a different texture: crackle, leaf, and tissue paper. Crackle requires applying a glaze with a wooden stick. Leaf entails placing decorative leaves in the wet paint. Tissue paper requires you to place a sheet of tissue in the wet paint.

|This Onion Gratin with Rosemary and Thyme is a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving.
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. It's time to start thinking about Thanksgiving Recipes, and this Onion Gratin with Rosemary and Thyme is a perfect Thanksgiving side dish.)
Creamed Onions was one of the dishes my family used to consider a "must have" for Thanksgiving dinner, and I started thinking about them recently when it rained for days and I had a ten pound sack of Vidalia onions to use up. I knew I'd have to get creative, since the old family version had butter, cream, and lots of full-fat cheese. Then I remembered the Broccoli Gratin I made for Thanksgiving this year, and I experimented using that topping on roasted onions. When I shared it with the guys working on my house and my contractor's teenage son Scott said, "I don't like onions, but that was good!" I knew we had a winner.
While the onions roast, mix together mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, grated low-fat pizza cheese, Pecorino Romano (or parmesan) cheese, and salt and pepper. (Bad blogger, I forgot to take a photo of the gratin topping, but here's the mixture from the recipe for Broccoli Gratin.)
Onion Gratin with Rosemary and Thyme
(Makes about 6 servings, inspired by Onion Gratin at Closet Cooking and many creamed onion casseroles from my childhood.)
8 medium-sized white, yellow, or Vidalia onions
1-2 T olive oil, for brushing onions
1 tsp. finely minced fresh rosemary (or use 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary, finely chopped with large knife)
2 T minced fresh thyme leaves (or use 1 T dried thyme)
Gratin Topping Ingredients:
6 T mayo (I used 4 T light mayo and 2 T full-fat mayo)
1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 cup lowfat pizza cheese (any mild white cheese will work, but use low-fat cheese for the South Beach diet)
3 T grated Pecorino-Romano cheese (or use grated parmesan)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450F/230C. Peel onions and cut in 1/2 inch slices. Spray or brush baking sheet with olive oil, then arrange onion slices in a single layer. Spray or brush onions with oil, then sprinkle with chopped herbs. Roast onions 15 minutes, then take them out and turn oven down to 375F/190C.
While onions roast, combine mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, pizza cheese, Pecorino-Romano cheese, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix together with a fork. (The mixture will be lumpy.)
Spray a 9" x 13" casserole dish with olive oil or nonstick spray. Remove baking sheet from the oven and use a turner to layer onions in the casserole dish. Spread topping over onions (I used a rubber scraper to spread it around. Don't worry if the mixture doesn't cover every bit of the onions.) Place casserole dish in oven and bake 25-35 minutes, or until top is golden brown and onions are slightly bubbling. Serve hot.
I'm guessing this would keep for at least a day in the refrigerator, but when I made this and sampled it with the guys working on my house, we ate it all!
South Beach Suggestions:
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

This was really great.
But I added scallions, crushed red pepper, a little but of garlic powder/salt, cilantro, tomatoes, and a small can of regular salsa. Turned out great.
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Chile Verde, usually a slow-cooked stew of pork, jalapeños and tomatillos, becomes an easy weeknight meal with quick-cooking ground beef and store-bought green salsa. Make it a Meal: Serve with fresh cilantro, red onion and Monterey Jack. Add your favorite hot sauce.
This was really great.
But I added scallions, crushed red pepper, a little but of garlic powder/salt, cilantro, tomatoes, and a small can of regular salsa. Turned out great.
This was a very easy weeknight meal, just as tasty as a chili simmered for hours. I used 2 lb ground beef and 2 cans beans and kept other ingredients in the stated quantities. Luckily I tasted the salsa verde before adding it as it was very hot. Ended up using half the jar and half a jar of mild red salsa. Added a bit of additional water to achieve the consistency I was looking for. With grated cheddar, chopped green onions, light sour cream, and a side dish of raw veg, dinner was on the table in a jiffy.
It was fantastic!! While cooking the beef, onions, and bell pepper, I added about 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce to make it more flavorful. Smelled and tasted great. I also added a small can (4 tbsp) of tomato paste, and about 2 tbsp of chile-garlic sauce to the recipe. Everyone loved it.
First, I really enjoyed this recipe and served it with a 1/2 cup of quinoa (with a squeeze of lime), like the EatingWell diet menu suggested. It was quick and easy to make and I loved the flavor.
However, I used a separate recipe calculator to determine the nutrition facts based on 90%-lean ground beef and found that the bottled salsa verde I used drastically increased the sodium content of the meal (~500mg increased to ~1600mg). When I make this in the future, I'll use a homemade recipe for salsa verde to cut back on the sodium content.
This was sooo good! My husband ate ALL the leftovers before we could have them for another meal!!!

Dashielle Vawter, Organizational Systems
Dashielle VawterOrganizational Systems Student
Dashielle had always been a systems thinker – even in high school, back before she knew it was an area of study.
As a student studying Peace and Conflict Studies at U.C. Berkeley and as a staff member for non-profits, "I was always asking 'how can we effectively deal with the prison system if we're not looking at the education system? How can we deal with the health care system if we aren't examining the food system?'"
Yet most of her classes, and most of her employers, were set up to deal with only one problem at a time. They tended to have a narrow focus that prevented them from addressing big issues. "They were always looking at issues as contained and compartmentalized, and I kept wanting to focus on the ways they connected with each other."
"Honestly," she says, "for years I felt trapped by it."
Dashielle didn't have the term for it, but she knew that understanding the world and rising to its challenges would require thinking as complex as the problems to be faced.
After graduating from Berkeley she spent three years following her interests through major donor development at Peace Action West, writing and research at the progressive think tank The Rockridge Institute, research at the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative, and advance work for Al Franken's successful Senate campaign in Minnesota. Feeling there had to be a way to take this kind of work to the next level, Dashielle found herself looking into Saybrook's Transpersonal Psychology program on the recommendation of an old professor.
"He told me that Saybrook was one of the two places he'd be happy to see me at, which meant a lot to me coming from him as both my friend and a U.C. Berkeley professor."
Though she had come to learn about Saybrook's Psychology program when she heard the presentation by the Organizational Systems faculty, everything fell into place.
"I didn't know there was a field like Organizational Systems," she says. "It immediately resonated with me. I went into the more detailed session, and the more I learned the more I thought 'This is it, this is what I've been looking for. Saybrook is an intellectual home for me.' It was like 'oh, this is what I want to be doing.' I applied, and that was it."
She joined the Organizational Systems program, and her MA will specialize in the Leadership of Sustainable Systems. "Right now my interest is in the characteristics of sustainable societies and the empowerment of people to envision something different, and then create it," she says. "It's been a really good experience. The people that I've met have been really engaging, the materials I've been exposed to have inspired me, and the conferences have been truly excellent."
The conferences in particular reminded her that she is not alone: that there is a growing network of scholars and practitioners who understand that systems thinking is key to solving global problems.
"Students were encouraged to help build the content we would be listening to and participating in," Dashielle says, "and you had all these people, these working professionals from around the country with experiences and skills to offer, sharing the tools and processes that they were working on in their own work, coming from a place of humility, and everybody really willingly brought themselves and contributed in profoundly authentic ways. It was very inspiring and empowering ... transformative even."
It's a perfect match between the systems she loves studying and the progressive work she wants to be doing. "These things just fit together for me," she says.

Two mandatory warnings: The text in this post is superfluous, and there are 90+ pics. Continue at your own risk...
Every few years (more often if you're less set-in-your-ways than I am) you'll have an experience that falls outside the reasonable range of expectation. Meaning simply that what you expected and what you got did not match up.
That happened last week, and I'm still reeling a bit from it. I'm simply unsure of how to even begin processing all of the new sense data that was gathered. That uncertainty is a good, rare thing (for me) these days, as I've gotten into a bit of a rut with work and riding and a refresher was in order.
I'll spend months sorting and categorizing the experiences in my mind, but there's no need to wait to share the visuals.
Loading up the car, listening to a book, and just letting the countryside unfold as I creep closer to my destination has become a favorite form of therapy.
I'll do it if I have to, but covering ground at night (whether afoot, by bike, or even in a car) just cuts across my grain of late. How can I learn about a place if I cannot receive visual sense data from it?
(Yes, I had a lot of time to think on this last trip, and have been in major geek out mode ever since...)
So once the light fades from the sky I'll find a place to circle the wagon and then settle in til sunup. Cook a simple meal, read a different book, simply 'be' horizontal.
Waking, a short walk is in order before anything else. Checking in on the local residents, you might say.
Early morning light...
...and some of the things you see when wandering around engulfed by it.
Whom would *you* expect to see while crossing Coyote Wash?
Oo. Don't forget your galoshes.
Death. And then, life.
This one flat stopped me in my tracks. Just stunning.
Not so much the former as the latter.
Aspirin, ibuprofen, morphine, and gin have all been known to cure what ails ya. For me, nothing is more restorative than time spent on alpine skinny trail with likeminded souls.
Dave and Chad were a hoot to ride, camp, and generally hang out with.
If you're in their company and *not* laughing, you need to pull the ipod outta your ears and pay attention!
One of the no-longer top secret details of my new uber frame pack: The Mike & Ike department.
DH nearly leapt outta his shoes when he saw it, and LW dug her hand in there too. It's not like a gal can ever have enough red 40 in her diet...
Back to the grind.
We finished the day off with an ice cream binge, campfire tales, stargazing, then blessed sleep outdoors, if not actually down in the dirt.
The ensuing day, more time spent with Dave and Chad meant more laughs and good vibes.
The overall theme of the day was relaxation, though it got strenuous later on...
Brief detour on the way out to camp.
At camp.
Cathedral-esque grove along the Rainbow Rim.
Big grins on this trail--swoopy, flowy, fast and carvy.
Favorite memory (of many!) from this day involved chasing Dave at high speed down a narrow tunnel of trail, both sides lined with blooming cliffrose. The always exciting game of cat-and-mouse was elevated substantially as he'd brush and bash his way through the blooms and my nostrils would be filled with it as I motored along behind...
Hard to beat finishing a fun ride as the golden hour fades into night.
Another campfire to wind down with, then blessed sleep.
The view from camp at sunrise:
Hard to wrap your brain around that ^ view.
Almost 9 years have passed since I last rode this canyon. That's about 8 too long. Dave acted as very patient and informative guide.
Although the pic fell far short of my hopes, I love the contrast of colors and landscapes in just a few square feet. Red to green, swamp on rock.
Such a striking backdrop for some really fun non-tech riding.
Dave hammered out the hills on his single tallish gear. I felt obliged to follow suit, and remained shiftless on all but one climb throughout the day. I take back what I said earlier about alpine skinny being the most restorative thing I know--desert skinny aboard SS's comes darn close.
Did I mention the swoopdiddlyiciousness of this trail system?
Unseasonably cool June temps were a treat all through this day. Though the temps have crept high enough that going back this weekend won't happen, some version of this trip needs to take place in the fall.
Who's in?

MASSENA Evil villains were forced to lie low Saturday for fear their dreams of world domination would be destroyed by some of the superheroes flying around the Massena Public Library from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.
The Superhero Training Academy is the new home of some of the youngest and most creative superheroes of the north country, and Saturday was their first day of training.
Samantha M. Page, Brasher Falls, is the youth librarian assistant and founder of the academy.
I wanted to do something that would reach all different age levels, Mrs. Page said. Being winter, theres not much to do around here, and with all the different superhero movies, I thought there would be a good turnout.
The turnout was greater than she expected, with close to 70 children participating in the training.
The first step in the training was costume design.
The children cut and colored masks out of card stock and picked out precut colored capes made from plastic party tablecloths.
Rachel V. Proper, 9, and her friend Jenna L. Stiles, 9, both of Massena, decorated their capes with pictures to symbolize their superpowers.
I can shoot cupcakes out of my eyeballs, Rachel, the unstoppable Cupcake 819, said while explaining her superpowers. My other power is that I can summon llamas that wear hats.
Her crime-stopping partner, Jenna, or Swindler 234, said they work as a team, with neither considered the sidekick.
I sneak around a lot and trick a lot of bad guys, Jenna said. I distract them and she shoots them with poisonous cupcakes. I can also control the earth and sky, and thats why I have a tree on my cape.
After the costumes and superpowers were decided, the children started practicing at different training stations.
One of the training sessions taught them how to knock down the bad guys by tossing a ball of kryptonite toward a group of bottles that each had a picture of a villain on it.
Mrs. Page made hand weights to accompany the bean-bag boulder for the heroes with super strength.
The trainees also crawled through a tunnel and had to walk the balance beam to rescue a stuffed animal from fictitious lava.
After the rigorous training, the superheroes had their pictures taken while soaring over the village. They lay down on a blue tablecloth that had clouds and houses on it, creating the perfect backdrop for a superhero.
Children also could learn about their favorite superheroes from a variety of superhero books on display or color a picture of one of their favorites.
Every age level likes superheroes to some extent, Mrs. Page said. I think Ill probably turn it into an annual event.
