Welcome to Requiem!
This is the guild site for the Shaiya Absolution guild, Requiem. We are a group of mature, experienced players that function together as a team. Requiem only accepts the best people, therefore all new members will go through a 2 week probationary period. We just want to make sure that Requiem is right for you and that you are right for Requiem.
Requiem is a team, not just a name to wear over your head. To get a feel for the guild and to make a decision on whether or not to apply, check out the rules below to see if they match your playing style.
Requiem Rules
**No dual guilding
**Trade between all guild members is free. If you get extra gear, gear you don't need, or outgrow your gear, check with guildmates first to see if someone else needs it or consider donating to the guild warehouse before selling. There are plenty of other ways to make gold on this server. A fully-geared guild is a strong guild.
**A minimum of 2 GRBs per month is mandatory. Participation in events such as staff events and pvp/altar raids is highly encouraged. We have a guild ranking system in place that will allow you to progress in the guild based upon your participation.
**Respect toward ALL Absolution players is mandatory. Cruel disrespect, flaming, or doing anything against Absolution ToS will result in immediate banning from the guild. Remember that your words and actions reflect not only upon you as a person, but also upon Requiem.
**All new members are required to go through a minimum 2 week trial period at rank 9 to make sure you are a good fit. In order to advance to rank 8 and thus have access to the Guild Warehouse, you must complete the 2 weeks PLUS be registered on this website. Registration allows you to review the guild ranking system as well as to be kept informed of guild parties and other events.
**Most importantly, we are here to have fun!
A few more things to keep in mind as you decide if Requiem is right for you:
-As stated above, we only accept the *best* players. If you apply to the guild in game, expect to be watched for awhile to see how you interact with other players and how you conduct yourself in trade chat. We don't accept whiners, beggars or drama kings/queens.
-Requiem has a solid core of players and officers that are more than happy to help other guild members. Our membership has grown big enough to where we are very well-rounded. Some love to PvP; some love to grind and farm; some love to go on boss raids. There is something here for everyone!
-Last but not least, the Requiem officers are committed to helping you enjoy your game time. We want you to love Absolution as much as we do!
If you have any questions at all, please contact [GS]Payne, Jack.Daniels, Chief, LadyFemrage or FiDar in game.
Welcome to Requiem!

PLM is a necessity for companies that want to compete based on innovation in the global business environment. A key aspect of delivering innovative products and processes is connecting your own systems and the systems of suppliers to encourage collaboration and data exchange in a secure and scalable environment. To create these connections, companies now require their suppliers and their own IT departments to provide open solutions.
"We support the "Code of Openness" without reservation and we're working closely together with its initiators."
Chuck Grindstaff
President and CEO
Siemens PLM Software
"Companies that implement PLM systems need the ability to share and reuse knowledge among commercial, legacy and proprietary systems. They have to deploy technology with a shared infrastructure and a consistent architecture. Open strategies allow them to be innovative within their extended enterprise and realize savings through common processes."
Mike Zink
Open evangelist
Siemens PLM Software
Review Siemens PLM Software's CPO summary statements and see below for more on Siemens PLM Software's tenets of openness.
PLM solutions require both open business practices and open technology.
Openness has to be ingrained in a company's culture. Siemens PLM Software has maintained openness as a core value throughout its history. Open companies are approachable and engage with customer and partners as a standard way of doing business. They have an open business model as the foundation of an open strategy. But even open technology is not effective if it is locked behind restrictive legal agreements and business practices. A company must be approachable and engaging with customers and competitors. One example of the Siemens PLM Software commitment to an open culture and open business model is the PLM Components family of products. These products include some of the industry's most widely used component software and development toolkits, as well as industry initiatives that support and promote these open solutions.
Siemens PLM Software believes companies must own and control their data. This is in stark contrast to other PLM vendors who do not publish, and often encrypt, the data their customers put in their systems. This inhibits access, re-use and long-term archiving. An open data model enables system interoperability, resulting in enterprise and value chain connectivity. Siemens PLM Software open data models include:
Siemens PLM Software provides products that are open in architecture, application, components and infrastructure. Open architecture enables integration with other enterprise and legacy systems. Examples include integrating Siemens PLM Software products with customer-specific business systems or industry-specific applications.
Siemens PLM Software's open applications can be customized with user-friendly programming and customization tools to help companies extend and tailor solution capabilities to their specific needs. Examples include:
A significant number of the world's CAD, CAM, CAE and PLM developers – including many of Siemens PLM Software's competitors – rely on one or more of the PLM Components to enable their applications' functionality. These open components include Parasolid, D-Cubed, Geolus Serach, PLM Vis, Rulestream and others.
Consistent with our customer-focused model, Siemens PLM Software is involved in or leads Open Communities to drive innovation. Examples include:
Building the PLM system on these tenets creates a best-in-class environment that promotes seamless interoperability and data sharing. Accelerate business growth and innovation with Siemens PLM Software's Open PLM technology and take advantage of the investments in technology, people, processes and infrastructure that are already providing competitive advantage. Openness is the key to allowing companies to choose the best application to meet their needs and compete in the global business environment.

Josh Rogin has the story at the Cable:
Jide Zeitlin, the Obama administration's nominee to be America's point man for financial reform at the United Nations, has withdrawn himself from consideration for the job, an administration official tells The Cable.
Zeitlin, a former Goldman Sachs executive and telecom entrepreneur, had faced criticism for his business dealings related to Indian contractors and was also accused of identity fraud for an incident in which he admitted to sending an email to investors masked as coming from one of his competitors. Zeitlin testified before Congress that the email was a prank.
Rogin also hints at the the possibility that there is another scandal here that isn't financial:
But concerns about his nomination grew as rumors swirled around Washington and New York that Zeitlin was engaged in other activities that called into question his overall character and also may have included elements of identity fraud.
Specifically, one woman contacted several government offices and multiple news outlets, including The Cable, with allegations that Zeitlin had used deception to lure her into what eventually she claims was a romantic relationship. Those allegations could not be independently confirmed by The Cable. The administration official declined to comment as to whether they had been investigated as part of Zeitlin's vetting process or afterwards.
In the midst of the administration's disastrous failure to connect the dots in the case of an al Qaeda terrorist with plans to blow up a U.S. airliner, this kind of miscue pales in comparison. Still, it's sort of amazing that this administration still isn't even Googling people before they nominate them to Senate confirmable positions. All of the details on Zeitlin's financial/legal problems seem to have been a matter of public record. Who is in charge of vetting these appointments -- and why don't they have a Nexis account?

UTEP head coach Mike Price returning for 2012
Posted by Chip Patterson
UTEP head coach Mike Price recently got a bump in the all-time wins list among active coaches with Dennis Erickson's firing earlier this week. But Price himself was in jeopardy of losing his position with the Miners, and informed the media on Tuesday he would soon meet with athletic director Bob Stull and school university president Dr. Diana Natalicio to discuss the future of the program. That future was sealed on Thursday, when the school officially announced Price's return for the 2012 season.
The Miners had a disappointing finish to 2011, losing four of their final five games and missing the postseason with a 5-7 record. Price is one of only two coaches to lead UTEP to three bowl games, but the Miners have not finished with a winning record since going 8-4 in both 2004 and 2005. Still, his 45 wins since arriving in El Paso will give him the opportunity to become the program's second-winningest coach when he returns for his ninth season.
Conference USA has been an all-offense league recently, so it bodes well for the Miners to return seven starters on offense in 2012. Price's tenure at UTEP has led to some of the best offensive numbers in school history, and the head coach believes he will have a team ready to compete next season. The offense was in flux at times this season, as Price bounced between junior college transfer Nick Lamaison and sophomore Carson Meger both getting significant snaps down the stretch of the season.
UTEP likes Mike Price enough to keep him for 2012. We'd enjoy if you "Like" us at the new Eye On College Football Facebook page.

Coaching carousel begins in the Pac-12
Posted by Bryan Fischer
Hot shot commissioner, brand new media deal providing more exposure than ever, facilities upgrades, more money and increased focus on wins.
It's a good time to be a head coach in the Pac-12... except when you're being shown the door.
As the coaching carousel begins in earnest with the end of the regular season, the for-sale signs are popping up all over the West. Thanks in large part to that new media deal, schools are feeling the pressure to win just as much as their counterparts in other parts of the country. The landscape is shifting in college athletics and athletic directors are coming to the realization that they have to find the right guy to lead their program or it's time to make changes.
And if you're an AD even thinking about firing the head coach, you probably should do so. Many have already come to that conclusion and before the Pac-12 puts on the first ever conference title game, there will likely be a third of the league's schools looking at having a new head coach in 2012.
Arizona got a head start on the process and appears to have gotten an A-list head coach for a bargain basement price. Athletic director Greg Byrne is known as one of the sharpest AD's in the country and it showed by shrewdly firing Mike Stoops early in the season following a loss to Oregon State. That allowed him to take his time to research candidates and see who would be the best fit, going so far as to seek out the opinions of the state's high school coaches. Former CBS Sports analyst Rich Rodriguez had taken West Virginia to the cusp of playing for a national title and though he had a rocky time in Ann Arbor, Michigan improved each year he was there. Now he's in Tuscon and while he has another rebuilding job ahead of him, his offense should fit right in out West.
Up the road in Tempe, Arizona State comes open after Dennis Erickson saw the Sun Devils slip from South division locks to barely bowl eligible. Injuries no doubt played a part in 2011's slide but with so many returning starters and upperclassmen on the team, things never did pull together like ASU brass thought it would. For years, this job was thought to be a sleeping giant with access to plenty of talent, decent facilities, a good city to live in and the ability to get plenty of recruits into school. Athletic director Lisa Love will likely target Houston head coach Kevin Sumlin as her first choice (he'll bring plenty of offense and has put Houston a game away from a BCS bowl) but it's possible former Oregon head coach Mike Belloti and even Mike Leach will get an interview.
If Leach's issues (lawsuits against Texas Tech and ESPN, perhaps too open of a personality) don't get him the job with Arizona State, he could be taking his talents to the Palouse. Paul Wulff inherited one of the worst programs in the country - BCS conference or otherwise - and turned Washington State around by steadily improving from year-to-year. They pulled a few upsets this season, including one over ASU that likely shoved Erickson out the door, and came close several other times but it appears they're looking to go in another direction. Leach will have some talent on offense that can utilize his system to put up some big numbers and he knows he can win with the Cougars after seeing Mike Price take them to the Rose Bowl. A West Coast guy, Leach can recruit California with ease and would provide plenty of interest in a program that hasn't had much at all the past couple of years. If he takes a job elsewhere however, AD Bill Moos might have to turn to an assistant coach or a lower-level head coach to fill the needs of a program that seems to be on the right track in a tough division.
Finally there's UCLA, which is probably the most attractive job that will come open west of the Mississippi. One of the few issues is the fact that athletic director Dan Guerrero is himself on shaky ground and may not be making the hire. After Saturday's embarrassing 50-0 loss to crosstown rival USC, it's clear that the gap Rick Neuheisel so recently talked about closing has never been bigger. The Bruins will play in the first ever Pac-12 Championship Game but based on how they played against the Trojans, it looks like they'll just be sacrificial lambs to an Oregon team in the top ten. When - not if - Neuheisel is let go following the game, the direction the school takes in finding his replacement will be an interesting one. Alumni are clearly fed up with the losing and have a prime opportunity to take advantage of local talent with USC entering scholarship reductions for the next three years. The facilities are good and few campuses in the country can compare to what they have in Westwood.
Boise State's Chris Petersen is the name frequently tossed around as the Bruins' top target but they have a better chance of knocking off Oregon and going to the Rose Bowl than they do landing Petersen. Boosters are ready to pony up the cash - as much as $3 million or more - but who's handling the search remains to be seen. After missing with his previous football hires, it's hard to see that being Guerrero. After Petersen, Sumlin seems like the top candidate but they'll have to move quickly. Leach, who went to school at Pepperdine and is well-connected in Los Angeles, still seems like a long shot due to his legal issues but he would certainly put people in the seats at the Rose Bowl on Saturday. Off the radar candidates include Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst, SMU's June Jones, Louisville's Charlie Strong and Belloti.
There are plenty of good jobs in the Pac-12 for the taking and someone is going to take them. Who and when remain to be seen.

Virginia trio arrested on several assault charges
Posted by Adam Jacobi
The suspension of three Virginia players -- Ausar Walcott, Devin Wallace, and Mike Price -- is a mystery no longer. While head coach Mike London declined to provide any details on the players' punishment yesterday, the Harrisonburg Police dutifully stepped in to fill the gaps this afternoon, announcing that the trio was arrested on several assault charges:
The litany of charges netted Virginia 18 points in the EDSBS Fulmer Cup, which "rewards" teams for their off-season legal woes; most teams don't get to 18 points for the entire off-season, so even in the context of "other college football teams have players arrested too," this is a major embarrassment for Virginia and its athletic department.
Now, there's probably more to this story, as three football players don't just run off to a nearby campus, break into a random apartment, and beat up three strangers for fun. That's just not a thing that happens. What's extremely unlikely to come out of this is a valid excuse for the players' behavior, however, and their ability to rejoin the team is probably in serious jeopardy at the moment.

Virginia suspends three over rules violations
Posted by Adam Jacobi
With Signing Day having come and gone, college football fans can revel in the avalanche of good headlines for their chosen team: Player X to this team, Player Y to that team. It's fun. There's always one guy, however, who also starts showing up on various teams around this time of year, and his presence is much less welcome: Conduct Detrimental. Oh, he's a bad one, and he never runs out of eligibility. And unfortunately for Virginia fans, Conduct Detrimental just showed up in Charlottesville, and he's got a few friends on the team already:
If there's one good aspect of this suspension for the players, it's that it came in early February: suspensions generally don't last anywhere near seven months at a time, so odds are pretty good that all three players will be back in good standing well before the season kicks off. However, every day spent suspended is a day that someone else gets that player's role, and although most suspended starters work their way back atop the two-deeps, some don't, and it's way too early to tell if Walcott or Wallace can get back in London's good graces by the start of the 2011 season.
All because of Conduct Detrimental. That old scoundrel.

Bowl Grades: New Mexico Bowl
Posted by Adam Jacobi
Final score: BYU 52, UTEP 24
Offense: We'd wanted to see BYU get Jake Heaps rolling early, and did he ever. The freshman quarterback continued his hot streak from the last month of the regular season with another four-touchdown effort, and the running back tandem of J.J. DiLuigi and Joshua Quezada kept the chains moving late, combining for 199 yards on 35 carries and two second-half touchdowns. The Cougar offense rolled to 31 points on its first five possessions and never looked back en route to BYU's greatest scoring output in its bowl history. Grade: A
Defense: On UTEP's first five possessions, the Miners managed one first down: a 12-yard pass on their first play from scrimmage of the entire game on a drive that went nowhere. Even on UTEP's one scoring drive of those five, the drive went backwards 13 yards and resulted in a 52-yard field goal. Don't read too much into the Miners' eventual point total of 24 points; all three touchdowns came on deep passes and the last two were with the game well out of reach. Grade: B+
Coaching: Bronco Mendenhall faced a not-insignificant challenge in motivating his players to put the frustrations of a 6-6 regular season behind them and get focused for a 6-6 opponent from Conference USA in a bowl whose concept seems like some weird parody of serial excess, like CSI: Topeka or Backgammon With The Stars. But the Cougars came out firing and completely outclassed their opponent, and Jake Heaps avoided any regression to his early 2010 self in shredding the Miner defense. Grade: A
Offense: One of our keys to success for UTEP was seeing QB Trevor Vittatoe connect with star receiver Kris Adams for big plays, and on that front, the two most certainly delivered; Vittatoe found Adams for 153 yards on three catches -- all touchdowns -- over the course of the game. Problem was, none of them brought the Miners to within any less than 21 points, and if Adams wasn't burning his man deep, he wasn't doing much of anything ... and neither was the rest of the Miner offense. Joseph Banyard , a reserve tailback who saw his role diminish with the team over the course of the year, was the Miners' leading rusher -- with two carries for 11 yards. Vittatoe was sacked so often that the Miners ended up with negative rushing yardage. The bombs to Adams are cool, but that's not a sustainable offense. Grade: D
Defense: Obviously, giving up 31 points in the game's first five possessions isn't a formula for success, and the game was pretty well lost when it was 31-3. And yet, UTEP wasn't completely out of the game when the second half began, trailing 31-10 and carrying a bit of defensive momentum after forcing a punt and getting an interception on the last two possessions of the first half. Then the Cougars grinded out a 14-play, 75-yard drive culminating in a touchdown to open the second half, and that was pretty much that. 52 points given up is, pardon the term, indefensible. Grade: F
Coaching: It'd be easy to fault UTEP coach Mike Price for not getting any points out of his team's last drive of the first half; the Miners drove to BYU's 3-yard line and had five snaps in the red zone before time ran out on the half and BYU took its 31-10 lead into the locker room. Really, though, that's a call that has to be made; there's little difference between a 31-10 deficit and a 31-13 deficit after you've sent the message to your offense that you don't trust them to get a touchdown nine feet away from BYU's end zone. Sometimes, the right call doesn't work. So while we won't bury Price for that decision, it does seem as if he should catch a little heat for his team getting savaged on national television and continuing its bowl winless streat to 43 years. Maybe things go differently if Vittatoe connects with Adams on the final play of that first half and the Miners only have to make up a 14-point deficit at the break, but instead that number was 21, and it never got lower for the rest of the game.
Final Grade
Once BYU got off and rolling to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, it was pretty clear that UTEP wasn't going to overcome its deficiencies on both sides of the ball, and the remaining 45 minutes of dominance were little more than a foregone conclusion. It wasn't a good game by any stretch, the listed attendance of 32,000+ was about twice the amount of people actually in the stands, and the favored team rolled to an easy victory. All the same, it takes more nerve than we've got to really complain about a bowl game with 76 total points scored, especially one to kick the whole postseason off, so perhaps some charity is in order for this one. Grade: C-

Web Site, Email Account, and File Hosting Services
One of the biggest questions people have about their first web site is, "How do I get it available on the Internet for others to see - where can I have it hosted?". To have a web site available for others to see on the Internet, you need to have the files that make up your web site stored on a web server. Having a web hosting account means managing domains, your web site files, email accounts - even databases. Naturally, this can be quite confusing if you are unfamiliar with the technical aspects of web sites and the Internet in general. The simple answer to this is: Let us host your web site for you! You don't have to deal with any of the technical aspects of hosting a web site. We'll do all of the "dirty work" for you.
There's more to having a web site on the Internet than just having someone create the files for you. You need a domain name, such as "amazingwidgets.com", which needs to be purchased and registered. Then you need a hosting service to store your web site's files, which allows your site to be viewable on the Internet. Having a domain also means you can have email accounts under that domain. If your web site requires the use of databases, they need to be maintained and monitored. There's a lot to hosting a web site!
But we can do all of that for you - and at very low prices for the services and features you get. We offer very competitive hosting rates. Sure there are even web hosts that offer free hosting - but most of them are riddled with required ads on your web site's pages - and who's going to manage all of the technical aspects of hosting the site?
In addition to web site hosting, we provide email accounts and file server space to just store your files online for easy access from any computer.
Web Site Hosting Details
Our web site hosting services include the following:
Disk Storage Space: 250MB
- As a comparison, this web site takes up 12.5MB on disk, so that's plenty of room!
- Number of Databases: 1
Number of Sub-Domains: 2
- With sub-domains you can essentially have an entirely different web site
Number of Email Accounts: 5
- Your email addresses will have the domain name you purchased, such as [email protected]
Number of FTP Accounts: 2
- FTP accounts allow you to upload files to your domain instead of having us do it
- Monthly FTP Bandwidth Limit: 500MB
In addition to hosting web sites we also offer email address accounts and file hosting services. For a small fee you can have your own email accounts that you can access on computers using programs such as Outlook, or you can access your email on the web using a number of online email account viewers. If you just want to store files on the web to be able to access them from any computer, we will store them for you on our server. The location of your files will be password-protected, so they will be secure and only you will have access to them.
See complete pricing details for our web site and file hosting services here.

›› Link: View Sunland Park Special Audit
The state of New Mexico is taking over the fiscal operations of Sunland Park, a state auditor said today.
Hector Balderas, a state auditor appointed by Gov. Susana Martinez on Feb. 23, found the city fraught with violations.
"Sunland Park is a city in chaos," Balderas said this afternoon while at Sunland Park.
State police were at the border city awaiting state Department of Finance and Administration from Santa Fe to take over the city's finances.
The audit uncovered city money used for prostitution in Mexico, a violation of the open meeting act and more than $200,000 of forgiven utility bills for certain residents.
The audit took longer to complete than the three to four weeks state officials originally projected.
As many as a dozen city departments were subject to the special audit.

Going for 25 Spark points each day helps me stay positive and focussed. I feel good when I get that bonus, no matter how many points it is. Chasing points has led me to parts of SP that I wouldn't have found otherwise. Plus I participate in ways I wouldn't have thought I would enjoy.
I eat oatmeal every day, and I'm losing weight! Bonus: my cholesterol has dropped 10 points!
I never put anything on my credit card that I can't pay off when the bill comes in. I like to use it for all my purchases as I get points that I save and I use the points to purchase gift cards for the kids and grandkids at Christmas. That saves me from having to come up with extra $$$$ to buy the gift cards every year.
I sit at my desk for long periods of time so I keep a drawer full of healthy snacks like dried fruit, peanut butter and rice cakes, nuts and low-sugar natural granola bars so I don't feel tempted to break into the junk food available.

I would like to express my appreciation for the recent RELIC (Readings in Literature and Culture) discussion series offered by the Ouachita Parish Library. The presenters were Georgiann Potts and Barbara Dunn, branch manager.
The program, sponsored by the State Endowment of Humanities, was a review of Western history and culture represented in both books and movies. I have attended many discussions at this library and they have all been excellent. However this last one was truly outstanding. Georgiana Potts is one of the most interesting speakers/presenters I have encountered. I just wish I had the opportunity to have had her as a lecturer/teacher in my high school and college studies. She kept the audience extremely interested and encouraged their participation throughout the six week series so that everyone enjoyed and learned.
Mrs. Dunn added to the enjoyment of the program by preparing on her own time, examples of western dishes.
I can remember as a young man going to the library, then on Jackson Street, and taking home all the books I could carry on my bicycle. The community is blessed to have the opportunity to attend these excellent programs and in the future, I look forward to more people taking advantage of the library's events.
You can be put on the mailing list by contacting the Library main branch at (318) 327-1490.

As an African-American woman and a bank founder, United Bank of Philadelphia's Emma Chappell has had few modern peers. Yet she followed a path forged at the start of the century by Maggie L. Walker, the illegitimate daughter of a former slave and a white abolitionist. The bank Walker started -- the first founded by a black woman in the U.S. -- still exists, though under another name.
Born in 1867 in Richmond, Va., Walker started the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank in 1903 with $9,430 in deposits gathered from members of the Independent Order of St. Luke, an African-American benevolent society. The order had been formed after the Civil War to take care of the sick and cover funeral expenses of members in exchange for small monthly dues.
Since girlhood, Walker had been active in the order. At the turn of the century, when she became its executive secretary, its membership began to dwindle. Walker reinvigorated the institution, building its national membership to 100,000. In the process, she found that white-owned banks did not want to take deposits from a black organization, says Vernard W. Henley, chairman and chief executive officer of Consolidated Bank & Trust Co., the current name of the bank she started. White bankers' reluctance gave her the idea to start a bank, which would be the order's financial arm. "Let us put our moneys together; let us put our money out at usury among ourselves, and reap the benefit ourselves," Walker said in a 1901 speech to the group. "Let us have a bank that will take the nickels and turn them into dollars."
Two years later, St. Luke Penny Savings Bank was formed, with Walker as its president. By 1913, assets had grown to over $300,000, and she presided over the flourishing black community of Jackson Ward in Richmond, sometimes called the Harlem of the South. It was home to five other black-owned banks and scores of other African-American-owned businesses. "She made loans to black businesses, she made loans to students, she made loans to people to buy houses," says historian Muriel Branch, co-author of the biography, Pennies to Dollars: The Story of Maggie Lena Walker. Walker also set up a weekly newspaper, the St. Luke Herald, which she edited, and a department store that ultimately failed after the white community boycotted it and its suppliers.
While many of the largest black-owned banks went under during the Great Depression, Walker's bank survived, in part by merging with two smaller, black-owned banks in 1930, when it was renamed Consolidated Bank & Trust. Today, Consolidated has assets of $116 million, and the majority of its shareholders, who include two of Walker's descendants, are African Americans. "I think what she had in mind was that African Americans ought to help themselves, and they ought to provide the opportunities for employment and development," says Henley, who adds that her philosophy is one the bank still upholds.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (6/8/13) – Spudz-N-Stuff celebrated the opening of its fifth location as owner Jason Dicken branched out his $2.1 million dollar a year business into Owensboro.
The new location first opened two weeks ago in the Fairview Drive shopping center.
"I've been pleased with the reception we have received in Owensboro," said Dicken.
Spudz-N-Stuff is the brainchild of Jason Dicken, who first opened the doors of the potato shop about five years ago.
"I was running a chocolate shop in Evansville, and business wasn't doing so well," said Dicken. " I started offering a chicken croissant to my customers, and that did not go over well the a neighbor business owner who had a lease stating that he was the only business allowed to serve sandwiches in the shopping center."
According to Dicken, the chocolate shop closed on Friday, and Spudz n' Stuff was born the following Monday.
"Business really took off, and we're one hundred percent debt free," said Dicken. "We're big Dave Ramsey fans. If I can't pay cash for it, I probably don't need it."
About 20 Chamber Ambassadors and members of the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce attended the ribbon cutting, where Dicken shared the story of how he developed his business model and some of the various perks, such as catering for parties. He told the group that he came up with the slogan "We Cater Your Tater" while driving along the Lloyd Expressway in Evansville, Ind.
Spudz-N-Stuff offers delivery city-wide, and can be reached at 270-804-4747. They can also be found online at www.spudznstuff.com.

RG Brian Waters gets his first start with Dallas Cowboys
SAN DIEGO — On Sunday, in Dallas' 30-21 loss to San Diego, Brian Waters started his first game at right guard since signing with the team earlier this month.
The 36-year-old, a six-time Pro Bowler, had been used as a reserve in two previous games while alternating with Mackenzy Bernadeau.
He was gradually receiving more work as he readjusted to playing in the NFL. Before signing with the Cowboys, Waters had not appeared in a game since Super Bowl XLVI in February 2012, when he was a member of the New England Patriots.

Train No. K952/K949 (Shenzhen Railway Station - Guilin Railway Station) Dep 17:51 - Arr 07:35
Elephant Trunk Hill (40 minutes): Elephant Trunk Hill is located at the junction of Li River and Peach Blossom River. It is the symbol of Guilin with 55 meters high and got its name because its shape resembles an elephant with its trunk drinking from the Li River. The hill is pierced with many caves and topped with a small pagoda.
Reed Flute Cave (1 hour): Located 5 kilometers northwest of Guilin city, the Reed Flute Cave gets the name from the reeds used for making flutes and pipes that grow at its entrance. The cave is regarded as the largest and most impressive cave in Guilin. It is 240 meters long, and the length of the tour is about 550 meters offering a magic land of stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone curtains, birds, plants and animals in fantastic shapes and colors. The visit lasts for 40 minutes and there are a lot of steps. Watch your step as the lights are dim. You guide will show you by electric torch.
Our guide and driver will escort you from Guilin to Longsheng, Minority village and Longsheng Terraced Field
Minority village and Longsheng Terraced Field: The Longji Terraces are built into the steep mountain range named "The Dragon's Backbone" about 2.5 hours from Guilin. The terraces look like ribbons as they wind from the foot to the top of the mountain. This ingenious construction makes best use of the scarce arable land and water resources in the mountainous area. There are about 66 square kilometers of terraced fields in the district. The Terraces were first built in the Yuan dynasty and completed in the Qing dynasty by the Zhuang people. Zhuang and Yao minority villages dot the area and feature traditional unique architecture where no nails are used in construction. The different minority customs and dressing styles are especially interesting. Sedan chairs are available from the parking lot to the top of the mountain for customers who would like to see the great views but do not wish to climb all the way up to the top; it takes about CNY350 per person for the round trip.
Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo
Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo. (4 hours): A cruise along the Li River between Guilin and Yangshuo is an unforgettable experience. As you take in the stunning scenery, there's something interesting to see at almost every bend in the river. Between spectacular limestone peaks you'll see graceful bamboo groves, farmers tending rice paddies, and lumbering water buffaloes pulling carts or cooling off in the river. You may see fishermen gliding along on their narrow bamboo rafts, and if you're very lucky you might see one of the famous fishing cormorants. Boats depart from various wharves, according to the height of the river at different times of the year.The Li river cruise is by a medium size boat which can accommodate about 140 passengers.
Yangshuo Countryside Cycling, Our guide and driver will escort you from Yangshuo to Guilin, Train station Transfer (Guilin)
Yangshuo Countryside Cycling: Experience the hustle & bustle of the Yangshuo traffic for 10 minutes before you escape onto the country roads, lanes and tracks of the distinctive and beautiful Yangshuo countryside. Biking alongside the paddy field and orchards that surround the famous mountains will give a fascinating insight into life in rural China. You will have a family visit on the half way. It is an opportunity to see a real country life and talk to the local farmers.

|Respiratory pattern in an adult population of dystrophic patients.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21529845 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|We studied respiratory function and Chest Wall kinematics in a large population of adult patients affected by slow course muscular dystrophies such as Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD, n=38), Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD, n=20) and Facio-Scapulo Humeral Dystrophy (FSHD, n=30), through standard spirometry and through the Optoelectronic Plethysmography, to measure the thoraco-abdominal motion during Quiet Breathing and Slow Vital Capacity maneuvers. Within the restrictive pulmonary syndrome characterizing LGMD and FSHD, several different thoraco-abdominal patterns compared to those of healthy subjects were present in the more advanced stages of the disease. These differences were present in the seated position, during the execution of a maximal maneuver such as Slow Vital Capacity. A global respiratory (both inspiratory and expiratory) muscle involvement was more pronounced in the LGMD and FSHD than in the BMD patients, and a significant reduction of abdominal contribution in wheelchair bound patients was observed. In conclusion, OEP technique is able to reveal mild initial modifications in the respiratory muscles in FSHD and LGMD patients, which could be helpful for functional and new therapeutic strategy evaluation.

Behind the Scenes
Family Matters - Spring 2009
Mary Ann Gianan
If someone had told Mary Ann Gianan 30 years ago that she would be a research nurse manager at one of the best cancer centers in the world, she would not have believed them. Gianan's story is one that epitomizes the path that hard work, a mind for discovery and a dedicated spirit leads to.
Today, Gianan wears the credentials of R.N., M.S.N. and O.C.N. after her name. Gianan supervises a clinical research team of 13 research nurses and data analysts, and also serves as research nurse for Eugenie Kleinerman, M.D., head of the Children's Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson. In her 27 years of service at M. D. Anderson, Gianan has seen the institution grow significantly and her position evolve as a result.
Landing a Job in America
In 1979, Gianan arrived in the United States from her native country, the Philippines, to work in the coronary care unit of a hospital in Tennessee. Soon after, a close friend encouraged Gianan to come to Texas to work for M. D. Anderson.
"At first, I was intimidated by the idea that I would be working with cancer patients," says Gianan. "I didn't really know what to expect, but my friend convinced me that I would really love M. D. Anderson, so I decided to move to Texas."
Gianan started working as a clinical nurse on the pediatric and adolescent unit at M. D. Anderson in 1981. Eventually she became charge nurse on the unit, but then left M. D. Anderson to work as an agency nurse. She found little satisfaction in this role because she missed the opportunity to develop relationships with her patients. It took only nine months before Gianan was back working at M. D. Anderson — this time as a research nurse in the adult Melanoma and Sarcoma Center.
A New Career in Pediatrics
Seven years later, Gianan interviewed for a position working as research nurse for Kleinerman in cancer biology and pediatrics. Attracted by her interest in cancer biology, she accepted the job in January 1996. At that time, she was the only research nurse in pediatrics. Gianan credits Kleinerman for helping her get to where she is today.
"Dr. Kleinerman has been a great mentor to me, and she has patience that makes her a great teacher," says Gianan. "She encouraged me to attend her lab meetings, which was helpful because it gave me perspective on how trials translate from the lab to the clinic for patients."
Since Gianan became research nurse manager in 2004, the number of pediatric clinical trials has increased from 64 in 2004 to more than 100 trials in 2008 alone. As research nurses, Gianan and her team are responsible for managing many of the logistics of clinical trials. They screen patients for eligibility, register patients for trials, ensure patients' and health care providers' compliance with protocol requirements and research regulations, prepare treatment orders, schedule treatments and admissions and then record how each patient responds to the treatment.
Gianan's motivation in her role comes from advice a guest speaker shared when she was graduating from high school.
"The speaker told us to choose a profession that would serve God and would serve our neighbor," recalls Gianan. "Nursing was a way for me to do just that, and it has been a rewarding experience."

WEST LIBERTY, Ky. (WYMT) - Police are still searching for a robbery suspect from one week ago that stole money from a Save-A-Lot in Morgan County.
Marybeth Harmon Is a veteran cashier of six years, and says she has seen and even stopped a few criminals during that time.
"We've had counterfeit checks brought in before, and I've had to ID people for that, and we've had shoplifting and stuff like that," said Harmon.
Last Friday night was no exception, when a man, that was caught on surveillance video, tried to steal money from another cashier.
"I saw him down with Amanda at her register, and he was down there for a long time. I didn't know what was going on, and later on she told me that he was trying to confuse her to give back more than what he had actually given her," said Harmon.
She says the man left after a few minutes because the cashier never gave him the money.
But police say the IGA grocery store was not the only place he stopped. They say he drove to the Save-A-Lot across the street and did the same thing, but was successful.
They say the man made a small purchase with a $100 bill, but came back in the store saying he meant to use a smaller bill.
"He saw an opportunity, and he grabbed his change and the $100 bill that he originally paid with. He then ran out of the store and jumped in a car and sped away," said Wayne Lewis with the West Liberty Police Department.
Police say the cashier was not hurt but very shaken from the robbery.
Police described the suspect as a black man wearing a red shirt and blue jean shorts. If you have any information you can call the West Liberty Police Department.

My Very Own Top 6: Japanese Gravure Idols
Today I'm putting your attention on something that majority guys like (including me) — the Japanese "gravure idols".
These types of Japanese idols are voluptuous and sexually erotic, but they usually draw the line at close to nudity.
In Japan, this gravure idols are also called "chakuero queens". which translate to something similar to "hot sexy erotic queens". This special Japanese idols are featured in a lot of men magazine, TVs show and low budget DVDs.
So enough rambling and get on with it, here are the list of my top 6 favorite Japanese gravure to grace the world and a lot of men happy.

Why Kliff Kingsbury didn't scream at DeAndre Washington after touchdown drop
There are different ways to approach a player's mistake. When a kid puts the ball down on the 1-yard line, in the heat of the moment, to begin a touchdown celebration of all things, every option is understandably on the table.
Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury didn't yell at running back DeAndre Washington after the player negated a touchdown by dropping the ball about a tenth of a second before breaking the plane.
Chris Vannini of CoachingSearch.com broke down why it was a good move not to rip Washington and supplemented it with quotes from Kingsbury in the weekly Big 12 teleconference.
"Less is more at that point," Kingsbury said on the call. "You know it's going to be replayed everywhere in the country. ESPN, college football Thursday, everybody watching. If you jump a kid, to me, it doesn't do much good. Just let him know, 'You dropped it earlier, let's get it back and next time you touch it, make up for it.'
"That's basically all we had to say. …That can be one of those things that goes the other way if you don't handle it correctly. I just wanted to let him know it's not a big deal. Let's get it back and score, like we always do. I thought, at that time in the game, that less was more."
Texas Tech dodged a bullet on the play en route to a 20-10 win against TCU.
Because Washington was on his way to an easy touchdown run off a deflected pass intended to him, the officials had no idea he put the ball down before crossing the goal line so the play was ruled dead. On top of that, Texas Tech's bench got a 15-yard penalty for the celebration coming onto the field.
The touchdown would have been the go-ahead score to break a 10-10 game with less than five minutes left in regulation.
Instead, Texas Tech got the ball back on TCU's 15-yard line and threw in the game-winning touchdown five plays later while working the clock down to 3:48.
"If you can get away with that the way we did, somebody's living right, because that usually turns into a disaster," Kingsbury said of the call. "To get the ball back on the 1/2-yard line, it was good, because it was a positive experience and we can teach off it."
There are new rules when it comes for the ball near the end zone, however.
"Yeah, they know," Kingsbury said during the weekly Lubbock media news conference. "They have been instructed to hand it to the official at this point, yeah."

2011 freeze spurs review
Some additional utility requirements will go into effect in New Mexico in an effort to avert the natural gas and electric delivery issues that occurred in early February 2011. Extremely cold weather disrupted electric service at times and reduced gas pressures.
With a record low temperature of -27 in Ruidoso, people struggled to keep warm at work and home for several days.
PNM and Otero County Electric Coo_-perative used rolling outages to keep the grid in Lincoln and Otero counties from completely going down. And Zia Natural Gas Company reported high demand for gas that was at reduced pressures at times.
The New Mexico Public Regulation Com_mission (PRC) Tuesday unanimously adopted the changes to the state's public utilities and utility services code.
PRC associate general council Margaret Caffey-Moquin told the five commissioners that the proposed amendments affecting the duties of electric and gas utilities involved preparing for and dealing with severe weather and major outages.
The changes to the regulations focus on Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs) for gas and electric utilities, the standards for the quality of services, and transportation capacities for gas services.
"An emergency coordinator would be required to be appointed by each utility and that would apply equally to electric utility as it would to gas," Caffey-Moquin said. "In addition, system information, security, would be addressed by simplifying the requirement to a summary of fuel and critical facilities.
Electric utilities wou_ld have to include a description of their resources and fuel diversity, as well as identify critical facilities that are susceptible to problems, in their IRP.
Natural gas utilities would have similar requirements as well as providing an evaluation of gas resources to indicate adequate redundancy of supplies and delivery systems.
The amended rules now spell out what service interruptions must be reported to the commission and under what timelines.
Commissioner Douglas Howe questioned how PRC staff will be able to access needed information during a crisis.
Caffey-Moquin said there would be nothing that would prevent staff from obtaining data on a real-time basis.
"Rather than having a lot of detailed documents here for staff to review, when an emergency occurs that probably is not going to be a very feasible or practical approach anyway. It seems that our engineering staff particularly would already have at least a working familiarity with the affected systems sufficient to enable this commission to respond adequately."
Caffey-Moquin noted the state's Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Man_agement is really the clearinghouse for utility outage information and responses.
"We are not the primary responder and we are not the primary organizer of emergency response efforts," she said.
Howe agreed, but said there must be assurances that PRC staff would have expedited access to information in the event of major power or gas interruptions.
A last-minute addition to the regulations would require utilities to provide PRC staff with all information requested by staff to assess situations.
In addition, gas utilities would have to identify critical customers, including facilities that require natural gas to perform essential life, health and safety services.
The facilities could include other utilities such as electric generation stations that use natural gas.
Gas utilities would have to put in place a plan for the curtailment of service for system emergencies. The plan also would have to include information provided to customers, the public and governmental entities.
The amendments followed an 83-page report to the PRC earlier this year.
The report, Severe Weather Event of February, 2011 and its Cascading Impacts on NM Utility Service, detailed the problems experienced in parts of New Mexico and offered ideas on how to mitigate the situation.
The PRC action comes in advance of Zia Natural Gas Company presenting its IRP before the Ruidoso Village Council and the Lincoln County Commission next month.
The plans are typically developed with public input from customers, the PRC, other state agencies and industry groups.

Regent Thanks Volunteers in Wake of Violent Storms
A message from Regent Robert Durham on the recent storms affecting regions across the country:
Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the recent tornadoes and violent storms. From University communities to small towns, many Brothers, alumni, and their families have been touched. We salute those Brothers participating in relief efforts across the region.
Related message from Office of Greek Affairs at the University of Alabama
As I'm sure you've heard by now, the city of Tuscaloosa was ravaged by a Category EF-4 tornado that ripped through town this past Wednesday, April 27th, leaving dozens dead, hundreds injured, and thousands of families displaced. While the University of Alabama campus escaped with minimal damage, many of our students, faculty and staff lived in the areas hit hardest by the storm.
In the days that have passed, the outpouring of support has been overwhelming. People from all over the United States have pledged their support or have come to Alabama to help with the recovery efforts. The Tuscaloosa community has been overwhelmed by the support of our neighbors.
One of the most impressive relief efforts has come at the hands of fraternity and sorority members here at the University. On Friday morning, a call went out from the Delta Kappa Epsilon house for the rest of the Greek chapters to clean out their refrigerators and freezers and bring in that food to be cooked and distributed to those who needed it. Since that time, the UA Greek Relief effort has supplied nearly 30,000 hot meals to displaced families and to first responders and volunteers helping with the recovery efforts. On Sunday, May 1, the UA Greek Relief effort provided over 8,000 hot meals, accounting for over 25 percent of all hot meals served as part of the relief effort. Their work was featured in a primetime story on NBC Nightly News. As I write this message, food is being prepared at the Delta Kappa Epsilon, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Nu and Phi Gamma Delta houses and is being distributed all across Tuscaloosa. This does not include the thousands of donations of clothing, toiletries and other items that have been collected and distributed as part of this effort.
The Greek community at Alabama, in conjunction with Greek Resource Services and Delta Kappa Epsilon's national education foundation, the Rampant Lion Fund, has created the Greek Relief Fund. This fund will help prolong the Greek community's efforts in helping Tuscaloosa recover from this tragedy. Your tax deductable donation to the Greek Relief Fund will go to purchase food and other supplies desperately needed by those in the community.
The fund will also be used to assist the house and kitchen staff of our fraternities and sororities that were affected by this storm. While not UA employees, these men and women work on our campus every day providing meals and other services to our students. Many of them lived in the areas most tragically affected by the storm, and we've received a number of reports about house staff losing their homes and family members in this tragedy.
To donate to the UA Greek Relief Fund, click here. On the donation page, please select the "Psi Alabama" chapter in the "Chapter" drop down menu, and select "Alabama Greek Relief Fund" in the "Contribution Type" drop down menu.
We appreciate your support of the ongoing relief efforts here in Tuscaloosa.
Roll Tide!
Gentry McCreary
Director of Greek Affairs

This three year contract will comprise an approximately AUD$1.74million from Dow allowing AIBN to conduct research on sustainable sources for chemicals, new-generation circuitry for electronics and improved energy storage systems.
Dow's diversified industry-leading portfolio of speciality in chemical, advanced materials, agrosciences and plastics businesses deliver a broad range of technology-based products and solutions to customers in approximately 160 countries and in high growth sectors such as electronics, water, energy, coatings and agriculture.
AIBN, at The University of Queensland, is home to world leading research at the intersection of biology, chemistry, engineering and computer modelling. Research is underway to on develop new products and processes which will significantly impact human health, the environment, and the development of sustainable renewable energy.
"Innovation is one of Dow's growth drivers and we have an aggressive pipeline of more than 500 projects with a potential value of $US30 billion and a risk-adjusted value of $US12 billion," said Andrew Liveris, Chairman and CEO of Dow. "Collaboration with world-class research institutes such as the AIBN extends our innovation potential while providing access to top R&D talent" he added.
AIBN Director Professor Peter Gray said the institute possessed cutting edge technology being worked upon by leading researchers, advanced capabilities and a strong record of industrial collaboration, which ensured the collaboration with Dow was a good fit. "Our internationally-recognized researchers are at the forefront of emerging technologies. Their focus is on finding solutions to real-world problems," he said. "They appreciate the importance of challenging tradition and convention so discoveries are possible and our future brings new possibilities for a better lifestyle and a cleaner world" He elaborated further.
Dow and AIBN's first research collaboration was signed three years ago in 2007 in the areas of bio-mimicry and a systems biotechnology approach to improving productivity and decreasing cost of natural pesticides.
Concerns over climate change and high oil prices have led to an ever increasing interest in sustainable energy development, such as renewable energy production from solar and wind sources, and the development of hybrid and electric vehicles with low carbon dioxide emissions. Keeping this larger goal in mind the current research is aimed at developing improved cathode materials with high energy and power densities for applications in hybrid vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. The research group led by Professor Max Lu and Dr. Denisa Jurcakova, will work towards developing high performance cathode materials based on low-cost nanocarbons. The improved nanoparticles developed will find use in batteries with potential use not only in portable devices, but for hybrid vehicles and energy storage for renewable resources such as sun and wind.
Also on the cards is yet another project, that is, research into new-generation circuitry for electronics which will be completed by Professor Andrew Whittaker's and Dr. Idriss Blakey's research group. Researchers will use organic synthesis, physical chemistry and electrical engineering to craft functional plastics and polymers for the manufacture of integrated circuits. The new generation of circuits will increase performance, decrease size and cost and have potential uses in computers, cameras, smart phones, hand-held gadgets and even fridges.
Research carried out in the third project will be led by Professor Lars Nielsen and Dr. Jens Kromer, and will use scientific advances in the biosciences to genetically reprogram bacteria to produce the chemical building blocks of the future.
AIBN's research expertise in synthetic biotechnology, and in the modelling and optimization of microbial metabolism, as well as polymer chemistry structure and function, make it an ideal fit with Dow's position at the forefront of sustainable chemistries.
The alliance is ultimately expected to deliver new materials and processes capable of producing desired molecules from renewable agricultural resources in a cost effective manner, achieving long-term benefits for the consumer.

The Obama administration has deleted the term "global war on terror" from the government lexicon but is finding it more difficult to wipe the slate on some of the dark activities that rhetoric was used to justify. Since his election, President Obama has said he would prefer to look forward instead of backward at charges that the Bush administration used illegal detention and torture to prosecute its campaign against terrorism. That's an understandable political impulse, but it may prove difficult to sustain.
A Spanish court has opened criminal proceedings against six senior Bush administration officials accused of providing the legal framework to allow the torture of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention center, among them former Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales, former chief of staff to the vice president David S. Addington and John C. Yoo, a former Justice Department lawyer who is now a UC Berkeley law professor. Several factors make this case likely to move forward, including that it is being handled by Judge Baltasar Garzon, a human rights crusader who issued the arrest warrant that led to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet's detention in London in 1998. Furthermore, it centers on five citizens or legal residents of Spain, giving that country a specific claim to jurisdiction.
As he meets with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero in Madrid on Sunday, Obama might want to point out that this country's legal processes are at work. The Justice Department has launched an inquiry into whether CIA officials committed criminal acts in destroying tapes of the interrogations of two Al Qaeda prisoners. Last month, the Senate Intelligence Committee opened an investigation of CIA detention and interrogation policies under the Bush administration. And Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has proposed a bipartisan truth and reconciliation commission, although we're not convinced that's the best way to proceed before the legal process has had a chance to function.
The Obama administration must restore the international community's confidence in the U.S. rule of law, as well as our own. That means that investigations into possible criminal wrongdoing in the terror war should proceed with all due care and vigor. Once the probes are completed, the findings should be made public, whenever possible. And, as Obama has said, if there was criminal wrongdoing, there should be prosecutions.

Hello from Athens again.
I've been trying to write a blog post when I was in Assini for over a week unsuccessfully and I haven't been visiting my friends' blogs for quite a long time. Please forgive me but there are a lot of distractions in the countryside. You can read a post on our life in Assini here.
Besides the weather is so good that we don't like sitting home for a long time and we usually go to the beach before lunch and after resting we go to Nafplio or Tolo.
The post describes one of our visits to Nafplio on a Saturday morning.
The other day we walked from the farmers's market, up to the Catholic Church, then to Syntagma Square and from there we went to the Peloponnese Folklore Foundation Museum. Both places are so beautiful that even if you just go for a walk there is always something beautiful to see.
After our stroll it was noon and yet we still wanted to go to the beach because it was so hot. We ended back home at 3 p.m. so what's easier than a pasta dish, right? I made Spaghetti Aglio e Olio with Roasted Garlic and Tuna. By the time we showered lunch was ready. You can find the recipe for this easy, cheap and very delicious pasta dish in the same post.
We came to Athens a couple of days ago to visit our children and had some other business we had to attend to and waking early in the morning or late in the evening, I finally managed to update my blogs.
This is an old recipe I made before coming to Assini, using leftover egg whites. There are many recipes where only egg yolks are used. So the question is what do you do with your leftover egg whites?
I must admit that when I was a novice cook and didn't know much about cooking, I used to through them away because I didn't know what to do with them. I hope that you do not do the same because it's a shame to waste anything, especially now with the economic crisis. I try to make good use of everything.
If you do not have the time to use them immediately, you can put them in a small bowl, label them with the number of egg whites or by weight and date and deep freeze them. Many times, I add more over the original batch and just change the labeling, without of course thawing them. When I want to use them I remove them from the freezer and when thawed they are just as fresh ones.
I then make meringues which can be stored in air-tight containers and can last for a long time. I use them to make lots of desserts such as Pavlova, macaroons or macarons, amygdalota (almond cookies), angel cake and so many other desserts.
If you are on a diet you can make low fat omelettes just the way you make a usual one but only using the egg whites. If you are not on a diet but want to eat healthier and avoid cholesterol, you can make scrambled eggs or omelettes using only one egg yolk per portion, and add a few extra egg whites to the batch.
This time I made a twist to amygdalota which are almond cookies. I also used one of my favourite ingredients which is "petimezi or epsima, as it is called in Cyprus" which is a condensed grape syrup. If you don't have petimezi, you can substitute it with honey, other molasses or with maple syrup.
Christmas is not very far away, so save your egg whites for then.
Chocolate Petimezi Amygdalota Cookies, recipe by Ivy
Preparation time: 45 minutes
Baking time: 15
Makes: about 26 cookies
- 125 grams (about 4) egg whites, at room temperature
- 80 grams dark cane sugar
- 220 grams icing sugar, sifted
- 150 grams blanched almonds
- 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 vanillas
- 1 tbsp petimezi (condensed grape syrup)
Chocolate Coating:
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 250 grams dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon petimezi
- Preheat oven to 180º C / 350º F and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Blanche the almonds and place on kitchen paper to dry. In a food processor grind them together with the icing sugar.
- Beat egg whites with lemon juice until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and vanilla and continue until very stiff and firm, about 5 minutes.
- Sift the dry ingredients and gently fold into the beaten egg whites with a rubber spatula.
- Place the batter into a pastry bag.
- Pipe the batter on the prepared baking sheets spaced apart (about 3 cm / 1 inch.
- Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, depending on your oven.
- Set aside to cool completely before adding the chocolate coating.
- Meantime, over a double bath melt the chocolate and add the cream, petimezi and honey. Mix until they are combined and smooth. Set aside for the glaze to cool before using.
- Transfer them on a tray lined with parchment paper and put the cookies down side facing up. Using a spoon cover them with chocolate and wait until it starts to set.
- Put the bowl back over the hot water so that chocolate remains runny. If it becomes difficult to spread, put it back on the heat again (add some cream if necessary).
- Turn the cookies over and coat them on the other side as well.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours until they set and then store them in the fridge, in an airtight container between parchment papers.
