text: The Vans OTW Alcon — essentially a deconstructed version of the brand's popular Alomar model — debuted on retailers' shelves this month, and now two new colorways are set to launch in July. The styles offer two radically opposing sensibilities, one of which features a distinctive olive camo design on a cotton canvas upper, with off-white laces that match up with the same understated hue on the shoe's stitch-down rubber midsole. The second pair has work boot underpinnings, dressed in textured brown leather with two-toned rope laces. Look for the kicks to arrive in stores in July.

First, we should discuss what REX-based stretching is all about. Although digital signal processing algorithms can lengthen digital audio by adding data, or shorten by deleting data, it's difficult to do this without compromising the sound quality — especially with substantial timing shifts. Live's stretch algorithms are nothing short of miraculous when it comes to real-time tempo stretching, but like any stretch algorithms, they're not perfect. The REX approach can provide extremely good fidelity with percussive sounds, although the trade-off is that it is pretty much useless for sustained sounds.
The REX file format was invented by Propellerhead Software as an extremely clever time-stretching solution that applied MIDI thinking to digital audio. Their Recycle program takes a piece of digital audio, cuts it into small segments ('slices'), notes where in the measure(s) these segments occur, then creates a MIDI file that triggers the segments at the appropriate time within the measure(s). Hosts that support REX files use the digital audio and timing data to stretch the file to the target tempo.
For example, the screenshot above shows a simple drum loop. Recycle separates the drum part into individual 'slices', with each slice triggered by a MIDI note recorded in a sequence. When the sequencer plays back the MIDI notes at the original tempo, the various slices all play back in succession, at the original timings. With a slower tempo, the triggers that play back the segments are further apart; at a faster tempo, the triggers occur closer together.
As a result, the rhythmic relationship of the slices remains intact, because MIDI triggers always occur where they were recorded in a measure, regardless of tempo. In other words, MIDI data generally follows musical time (bars, beats and ticks) instead of absolute time (hours, minutes and seconds).
The main advantage compared to DSP time-stretching is that the audio quality remains pretty much untouched — nothing is added or deleted, just triggered at a different time. Thus, it's theoretically (and often practically) possible to have Recycle files whose fidelity is indistinguishable from the original, even when time-stretched (there are limitations, though, which we'll cover later).
Many programs have native support for the REX file format. For example, with Pro Tools 7, each slice is treated as a region, and when you import the file, it's treated as a Region Group. Thus, as you change the tempo, the regions are 'staked' to ticks and remain at the same bar and beat positions. Sonar includes the RXP REX file player; you load the REX file into it, and it plays along with your sequence. MOTU's Digital Performer, Emagic Logic, Steinberg Cubase, and many others support the REX format as well.
Although Live 5 doesn't support REX files, you can use the same principle to slice and trigger digital audio within Live, and produce much the same effect.
Here's how to slice within Live. First, set Live's tempo to the tempo of the loop you want to slice, even if this is different from the Project tempo. It's only a temporary step; after the process is complete, you can return to the original tempo (and the sliced file will follow, of course — which is the whole point of this exercise!).
Now switch to Arrangement view. This technique cannot be done in Session view. Drag the file into the Track Display, and use the zoom options so that the waveform fills up a comfortable amount of the screen. Place the first transient and type Ctrl+E (or Ctrl-click and select 'Split'). This splits the Clip at the Insert Marker. Repeat at each transient that denotes a 'blob' of sound (for instance kick drum and snare beats, hi-hat hits and so on). This is tricky, because you don't want to break up a continuous sound with a split, nor do you want to miss a transient by not adding a split. Experience will make this process easier, but for now, try to make sure that each slice is a discrete piece of sound. Snapping to the grid can be very helpful with files that have quantised rhythms, but don't be afraid to turn off snapping if the transient falls slightly ahead of or behind the beat. The important consideration is to slice exactly at the transient's beginning; it's likely that zooming in will be necessary.
At this point, change the tempo as a 'reality check'. The Clip will speed up and slow down, as with a standard file loaded into Live. But now we need to 'individualise' each slice, and anchor it to the bar, beat and tick position at which it was cut. To do this, select all the sliced audio clips and make sure the Clip Overview tab is selected in the lower right corner of the Live window. It should show 'X Audio Clips Selected', where X is the number of slices in the loop. Disable the Warp option (in the Samples section of the Clip View) by clicking on the Warp button so that it's grey instead of yellow. Now slow down the tempo by 20 percent or so — for example, if the loop was cut at 120bpm, change the tempo to 96bpm. Each Clip will now reflect its true, not stretched, duration at that tempo. As a result, each Clip will now appear to be 20 percent shorter in duration. When you click on Play, you'll hear the loop play back, and note that the fidelity of each slice is exactly the same as it was originally — there are no artifacts, flams, or other compromises with respect to fidelity. Cool! Now speed up the tempo as high as you'd like. The audio quality remains the same; note how the space between the decay of one slice and the attack of the next slice 'tightens up'.
We've accomplished what we've set out to do: create a file that sounds virtually identical over a wide tempo range, with no artifacts or DSP to alter the sound.
A brief aside here: the fade button is extremely useful when doing slicing, so check out the effects of checking or unchecking this option (remember to make sure that all slices are selected). Without fade applied, any abrupt transition at the beginning or end of a slice might produce a click. Applying the fade function minimises any possible click.
Conventional REX File Import
To prepare a REX file for use in Live:
1. Load the REX file into Recycle.
2. Turn on the Preview button (to the left of the transport Stop button) and adjust the Tempo control to match the Live Project tempo.
3. Adjust Recycle's options for the best sound quality (Stretch, for example, adds decay if needed for loops that are slowed down).
4. Go to the Process menu and tick 'Export as One Sample'. Otherwise, each slice will be exported as an individual file.
5. Go to File / Export. Select the filename and either Wave or Audio IFF format.
6. Specify the sample rate and bit depth used in your Live project, click on OK, and the file is exported.
7. Load the file into Live. Although it has lost its REX properties, you can of course use Live's stretching options if needed to change tempo.
You might think that because we've cut a bona fide loop into a bunch of little pieces, we can't use the Envelope options in Clip View. Well, you'd be right. But that doesn't mean there isn't a workaround.
You can apply transposition to individual slices or the entire loop. Just select whichever is appropriate (a clip or all clips), and adjust the Transpose control in the Sample Display window to taste. For example, you can select just the first slice (the downbeat) and transpose it down a little bit for a deeper sound, while transposing the backbeat up a little bit to tighten the sound. Note that because there is no warping, transposing is like re-pitching — the duration gets shorter when transposing up, and longer when transposing down.
When selecting all slices, try transposing up an octave or so: standard drums end up sounding more like an analogue beat box. It's a cool effect.
Note that you can also adjust panning or volume using standard mixer track envelopes.
Because each slice is now its own Clip, there are tons of things you can do that are just not possible with a conventional loop. Here are just a few:
* Turn off the grid, and shift Clips slightly ahead or behind the beat for different 'feels'.
* Rearrange the order of the slices to create an entirely different loop. This is particularly helpful because you can copy all the slices in a loop and paste them multiple times. Each iteration of the loop can have slight differences to add interest.
* Copy and paste slices to create flams, additional hits, and so on.
* Create a second track, and drag some slices to this track. Then add envelopes, effects, or whatever to this second track; only the slices you drag to this track will be affected.
Live News
At the time of writing Live 5.2 has just gone to public beta testing and a full release version should be available by the time you read this.
OK, we've covered all the good stuff. But in the spirit of equal time, note that while slicing can produce excellent results in Live, there are also some definite limitations. Here are the main ones.
* Slices have a finite, unchangeable length. Therefore, slowing down the tempo creates a gap between slices. If the sound decays before the slice ends, there's no problem. But if in the original file the end of one slice 'bleeds' into the next slice, the gap can be disconcerting.
* Similarly, speeding up cuts off the end of segments. Fortunately, this isn't much of a problem because psychoacoustically, you're more interested in hearing the new sound that's cutting off the old sound rather than the old sound itself.
* Slicing files doesn't work well with sustained sounds, or very complex sounds such as a part with lots of repeating delays. Ideally, slices should have a quick attack time, and consist of a single 'block' of sound (like a guitar chord, synth bass note or drum hit). This makes for an unambiguous slice — you know where it starts, and where it ends. It's much harder, and often impossible, to find good slices with a sustained sound.
* Creating a really good sliced file can be tedious. Something like a drum loop or synth bass part is easy to slice, but increasingly complex sounds become increasingly difficult to slice.
So far, the assumption is that the file you want to use already exists. But if you're recording a file specifically for slicing within Live, note that speeding up a file generally works better than slowing down as you don't have any gaps with which you must contend. Therefore, it's a good idea to record at the slowest tempo you think you'll need. For example, to cover a range of 120-145 bpm, I usually record the file at 120-125 bpm.
We've pretty much covered everything you need to know about slicing in Live. Although it's already a supremely flexible program, this technique illustrates one more way to use it to create novel effects. Slicing simple percussive files is not difficult at all, and not even very time-consuming — but the results can be very interesting.

I am using Vistual Studio 2005. I need Textbox which
- Should support Japanese language. User should be able to paste Japanese text in textbox.
- Text in textbox should always be Bold.
- Text after 100 characters should be highlighted in Yellow color when user is typing.
- Textbox should not allow any other formatted text.
Solution I tried
Normal Textbox with FontStyle set to Bold.
Issue : I can paste Japanese text and text always remains BOLD. Only issue is textbox does not support highlighting of text as user types.
RichTextBox : Highlight text in TextChanged eventhandler.
handler = new System.EventHandler(richTextBox1_TextChanged); private void richTextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.richTextBox1.TextChanged -= this.handler; int index = richTextBox1.SelectionStart; richTextBox1.Select(0, richTextBox1.Text.Length); richTextBox1.SelectionBackColor = Color.White; richTextBox1.SelectionLength = 0; if (richTextBox1.Text.Length > 100) { richTextBox1.Select(100, richTextBox1.Text.Length); richTextBox1.SelectionBackColor = Color.Yellow; richTextBox1.SelectionLength = 0; } richTextBox1.SelectionStart = index; this.richTextBox1.TextChanged += this.handler; }
Highthing works fine. But there are following issues.
When I copy paste Japanese text into richtextbox, it is shown as Squre boxes. But if I assign same japanese text programmatically, it is displayed correctly. Even in normal textbox the pasted text is shown correctly. So not sure what is the problem with richtextbox.
I could not disable formatting of richtextbox. e.g. If I copy some html text with hyperlinks and paste in richtextbox, I see the hyperlinks. And my requriment says NO formatting except BOLD is allowed.
I want to acheive this functionality using windows form controls. Third party control would be my last option.
Can someone help?
Thanks in Advance!

What's the history of Stagecoach Inn Museum?
Issue: A reader wants to know how the Dousman Stagecoach Inn Museum came to be and what the story is behind it.
Status: The Elmbrook Historical Society is an affiliate of the Wisconsin Historical Society and was founded in 1980. The Dousman Stagecoach Inn Museum is the society's main project, according to Elmbrook Historical Society's website.
The website describes the inn as a Greek revival inn.
According to the website:
The inn was built in 1842 and originally stood at the corner of Bluemound and Watertown Plank roads.
Daniel Brown purchased the property in 1857 and ran it as an inn for travelers going by stagecoach from Milwaukee to Watertown on the famed plank road.
By 1875, railroads replaced stagecoach travel and the inn property became a farm.
Charles Dunkel obtained the farm in 1887. Dunkel's descendent, John Behling, donated the inn to the city of Brookfield in 1980.
The historical society leased the inn from the city and moved the inn to its current location in 1981.

I am out of practice with riding and a few months ago I trained my horse to be ridden and all is going well except for when I ask for him from the trot to canter and canter to the trot I loose my nice form and my toes go down and the stirrup slips. When I ride a fully broke horse I don't do this, probably because the other horse I have ridden goes into the canter as soon as you ask and my horse needs a little more encouragement. I know what I'm doing wrong, but does anyone have any suggestions to help me to stop doing this? Or is it just going to be practice, practice, practice?
Pop your stirrups up a few holes. Sounds like you're hanging on with your knees through the transitions, shortening your stirrups will give you a wider area of balance to help you stop relying on your knees to hold you up. On a green, unbalanced horse the last thing you want it to be unbalanced yourself. All that will achieve is a horse who loses confidence and will never give a balanced transition.
As the rider, it is our job to remain balanced and central in the saddle, to give the horse the best chance underneath us.
Thank you. I will try that and see how it goes.
Shorten the stirrups up so you can balance more when you are doing the canter then work to taking the stirrups away and canter this will help your position and balance then gradually work from high to low in the canter or ask some one to lunge you or you could possible use spurs to aid with the transition.
If this is the case, I wouldn't be removing stirrups completely - that's great for rider position -> on an established horse. NOT on a green horse.
The OP also said that their heel comes up and they lose balance - spurs? BAD idea.
A good trot to canter transitions should go "up in two and down in three" and a good canter to trot transition should go "up in three down in two". If your horse is dwelling in his transitions, he's not balanced meaning you will also lose your balance if you don't know how to ask for the correct transition, shortening your stirrups won't help this. In transitions, half-halts are your friends. They are preparatory and balancing cue, not a slowing down cue. They tell your horse, "hey we are about to do something, so get ready". It sounds like the issue is your horse isn't ready to stand out to your hand.
You can try this:
Start at the walk and "comb" the reins. At walk, ask your horse for an inside bend, when you feel him relax and slow down, let the reins slip through your fingers. Pick your reins back up and repeat, repeat, repeat. Once you get this down at the walk, do it at the trot. This will teach your horse to stand out to your hand and it will be a lot easier for him to perform upward and downward transitions. Once your horse stands out to your hand you can ride your transitions (upward and downward) leg to hand.
To work trot to canter, make sure your horse is relaxed and standing out to your hand. Sit your trot, use a half-halt to balance and prepare your horse and make sure he is out to your hand and ask your horse to canter by rolling onto your outside seatbone and use your outside leg. If your horse does not go right into a canter, halt, back up 2-3 steps and try again.
Good luck!

Taco Bell: Value menu may come soon
Taco Bell says its new value menu may go national in coming months. The fast-food chain had already said in January that it was testing a "$1 Cravings" menu that would replace its "Why Pay More" menu, which has tiered pricing. Executives at the chain said they're confident they've hit on the right mix of products for a national rollout this year. But they declined to specify a date. The latest iteration of the $1 Cravings menu has 12 items, including new offerings such as Shredded Chicken Mini Quesadillas and a Beefy Nacho Loaded Griller. The menu is being tested in Kansas City, Mo., and Sacramento, Calif., the company said. Fast-food chains have been touting their cheap eats to attract customers at a time when the industry is barely growing and competition is intensifying. McDonald's is emphasizing its Dollar Menu, and Burger King is highlighting more deals.
US text messaging declines
Americans are saying goodbye to text messaging, a wireless industry group says, as Internet-based applications such as Apple's Messages are starting to taking over from what was once a cash cow for phone companies. CTIA - The Wireless Association says Americans sent 2.2 trillion text messages last year, down 5 percent from 2011. That's still 19 text messages per person per day. Text messages vaulted into the mainstream in 2007, despite often costing 10 cents each. Costs came down quickly as phone companies started selling monthly "bundles" of texts. Now, many phone companies give text messaging away for free as part of a plan that mainly meters the amount of data used. That has helped stave off mass migration to Internet chat applications and Facebook messaging in the U.S., making the decline somewhat surprising, said Pamela Clark-Dickson, an analyst with Informa Telecoms & Media in Britain. In countries where phone companies have kept the cost of text messaging high, the use of chat applications such as WhatsApp has exploded. Informa estimates that the number of messages sent through such services worldwide exceeded those sent by text last year.
Jobless claims fall to 5-year low of 324K
The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell last week to seasonally adjusted 324,000, the lowest since January 2008. The drop points to fewer layoffs and possibly more hiring. The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications fell 18,000, the second straight sharp drop. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, plummeted 16,000 to 342,250, close to a five-year low. Applications are a proxy for layoffs. When they fall below 350,000, it is generally consistent with moderate hiring. Economists forecast that the economy added 160,000 jobs last month. That's much better than the 88,000 added in March, but below last year's pace of nearly 185,000 per month. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 7.6 percent.
Productivity rises just 0.7% in Q1
U.S. worker productivity barely grew from January through March after shrinking in the final three months of 2012. Weak productivity growth could prompt employers to hire more if consumers and businesses continue to increase spending. The Labor Department said Thursday that productivity rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.7 percent in the first quarter, after shrinking 1.7 percent in the previous quarter. Labor costs increased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.5 percent, below the fourth quarter's 4.4 percent gain. Productivity is the amount of output per hour of work. It increased because output rose at a faster pace than hours worked. The trend in productivity has been fairly weak in recent years. For all of 2012, productivity rose just 0.7 percent, after an even smaller 0.6 percent rise in 2011. Those gains were less than half the average growth in 2009 and 2010, shortly after many companies laid off workers to cut costs during the Great Recession. And it's below the long-run trend of 2.2 percent growth a year dating back to 1947.
Trade deficit falls to $38.8 B in March
The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in March for a second month as the daily flow of imported crude oil dropped to the lowest level in 17 years. The deficit with China hit a three-year low. The trade deficit decreased to $38.8 billion, an 11 percent drop from February's $43.6 billion, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Exports fell 0.9 percent to $184.3 billion as sales of machinery, autos and farm products all declined. Imports fell 2.8 percent to $223.1 billion, led by a 4.4 percent drop in foreign petroleum. Crude oil imports averaged just 7 million barrels per day, the lowest since March 1996. A smaller trade gap can boost overall economic growth as American companies earn more from overseas sales while U.S. consumers and businesses spend less on foreign products. For the first three months of this year, the trade deficit is running at an annual rate of $507.7 billion, 5.9 percent below last year's deficit of $539.5 billion.
Obama to tap Pritzker, Froman for economic jobs
President Barack Obama on Thursday will nominate longtime fundraiser and philanthropist Penny Pritzker to run the Commerce Department and economic adviser Michael Froman as the next U.S. Trade Representative. Pritzker, a Hyatt hotel heiress, is Obama's final pick to fill a Cabinet post that has been vacant since former Secretary John Bryson resigned after he said he suffered a seizure that led to a series of traffic collisions. Froman is one of Obama's senior economic advisers and a former Citigroup executive. The Cabinet-level post performs as the administration's top adviser and negotiator on international trade. If confirmed by the Senate, Froman would replace Ron Kirk, a former Dallas mayor who stepped down as trade representative in February after serving in the post for all of Obama's first term. Obama will announce both nominations from the White House this morning before departing for Mexico.
ECB cuts benchmark interest rate to 0.5%
European Central Bank head Mario Draghi is sticking with his forecast that the struggling eurozone economy will start to grow later this year. He said the bank's low interest rates will help the economy "stabilize and recovery gradually in the second half of the year." Draghi spoke Thursday after the bank lowered its benchmark interest rate a quarter point to a record low 0.50 percent in an attempt to stimulate the lagging euro economy. Recent indicators have raised fears that the eurozone recovery might not arrive as hoped. Draghi said however there were risks to the recovery if governments didn't move to reform their economies and become more business-friendly.
Survey shows China manufacturing growth slowing
Chinese manufacturing growth slowed in April as global demand weakened, adding to signs its shaky recovery might be weakening, a survey showed Thursday. HSBC Corp.'s purchasing managers index fell to 50.4 from March's 51.6 on a 100-point scale on which numbers above 50 show an expansion in activity. "The slower growth of manufacturing activities in April confirmed a fragile growth recovery of the Chinese economy as external demand deteriorated," said HSBC economist Hongbin Qu in a statement. China's economic growth suffered an unexpected slowdown in the first three months of the year, declining to7.7 percent from the previous quarter's 7.9 percent. The World Bank and private sector analysts have trimmed their forecasts for full-year growth, though to still robust levels of about 8 percent.
Consumer comfort reaches five-year high
Consumer sentiment climbed last week to its highest level in more than five years as Americans felt the most upbeat about spending since before the recession began. The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index improved to minus 28.9 in the week ended April 28, its highest since January 2008, from minus 29.9 the week earlier. The buying-climate gauge rose to minus 32.5, the best reading since November 2007, a month before the worst economic slump since the Great Depression began. The gain in sentiment is being driven by high-income earners as rising home and stocks values bolster balance sheets, which may help underpin consumer spending. While easing fuel costs may help those at the other end of the pay scale, the higher payroll tax that took effect in January may be starting to hurt those households. Of the three components of the comfort index, views on whether this is a good time to buy sustained the biggest gain, climbing from minus 34.8, the survey found.
Mortgage rates drop; 15-year sets record
Mortgage rates in the U.S. fell for a fifth week, with costs for a 15-year loan reaching a record low, adding support for housing demand as home prices climb. The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage dropped to 3.35 percent in the week ended today from 3.40 percent, McLean, Virginia-based Freddie Mac said in a statement. The average 15- year rate decreased to 2.56 percent from 2.61 percent. Low home-loan rates are fueling demand for home purchases, helping to boost prices as the inventory of properties for sale is close to the lowest in a decade. Residential real estate values rose in February by the most since May 2006, the S&P/Case-Shiller index of 20 U.S. cities showed this week.
Intel elevates operating chief Brian Krzanich to CEO role
Intel Corp., the world's largest chipmaker, elevated Chief Operating Officer Brian Krzanich to chief executive officer, following Paul Otellini's eight-year stint in the job. The former factory manager will assume the new role at the company's annual shareholder meeting on May 16, when Otellini, 62, steps down as CEO and director, Santa Clara, California- based Intel said today in a statement. Krzanich becomes the sixth CEO in Intel's history and continues its tradition of hiring for the top job from within the company's ranks. The 52-year-old joined Intel more than three decades ago. With Intel playing catch-up in the world of smartphones and tablets, going with an insider may be a risky strategy, said Cody Acree, an analyst at Williams Financial Group Inc. in Dallas.
Honda expanding in North America with Mexico transmission plant
Honda Motor Co., the first Japanese automaker to build cars in the U.S., plans to build a $470 million transmission factory in Mexico at the same site as an auto plant opening in 2014. The parts facility opens in 2015's second half in Celaya, near the central Mexican city of Guanajuato, and will be able to make as many as 700,000 continuously variable transmissions a year, Tokyo-based Honda said today in an e-mailed statement. It will employ 1,500 people and be adjacent to a factory scheduled to start making Fit subcompact cars next year. Mexico has drawn billions of dollars in automotive investment in recent years, particularly from Japan's carmakers. Along with the country's lower production costs, Mexico's favorable trade agreements with the U.S., Latin America and the European Union make it appealing as an export base. Honda announced its $800 million Celaya auto-assembly plant in 2011. Mazda Motor Corp. is building a $650 million factory in the same state, where it will make Mazda2 and Mazda3 cars and also small cars for Toyota Motor Corp. Nissan Motor Co. expects to complete a $2 billion plant alongside an existing facility in the state of Aguascalientes by the end of this year.
Pilot and Haslam sued by trucking firm over fuel rebate fraud
Pilot Corp. and Chief Executive Officer Jimmy Haslam were sued by a Wisconsin trucking firm over federal allegations that its Pilot Flying J truck-stop business cheated customers on fuel rebates. The complaint, filed at the U.S. courthouse in Chicago yesterday by Edis Trucking Inc. of Franksville, Wisconsin, follows allegations lodged against Pilot and company executives last month by an FBI agent seeking court permission to search Pilot offices in Knoxville, Tennessee. U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Robert Root alleged "a scheme to defraud executed by various Pilot employees to deceptively withhold diesel fuel rebates and discounts from Pilot customers." No federal charges have been filed in connection with the allegations contained in Root's affidavits. Rachel Albright, of the Ingram Group in Nashville, a spokeswoman for Pilot, didn't immediately reply to a request for comment on the Edis complaint, e-mailed to her after regular business hours yesterday.
Clearwire says it needs $1.7 B funding to keep operating
Clearwire Corp., the money-losing wireless-service provider, said it needs at least $1.7 billion to cover a cash shortage and continue operating. The company, based in Bellevue, Washington, needs the funds through 2014 to make up for the shortfall, it said in a filing yesterday. The shortfall reflects "less certain revenues and high fixed costs," it said. Clearwire, which is majority owned by Sprint Nextel Corp., said last month it will draw $80 million in financing from Sprint for a third straight month, leaning on the wireless carrier for funding as it awaits a shareholder vote on a proposal by Sprint to buy the rest of the company. Rival suitor Dish Network Corp., seeking to gain control of valuable airwaves, has offered $25 billion for control of Sprint and $3.30 a share for Clearwire stock, more than Sprint's $2.97- a-share offer.
Ford adding 2,000 workers to Missouri plant
Ford Motor Co. said Thursday that it's adding 2,000 workers to the Missouri plant that makes the F-150 pickup because of surging U.S. truck demand. The company plans to add a shift with 900 workers in the third quarter of this year to make pickups. That's in addition to the 1,100 workers Ford will hire to make the new Transit van. Those workers will start in the fourth quarter. The plant, which is just outside Kansas City in Claycomo, Mo., already has 2,450 workers on two shifts. The company wouldn't say how many trucks it makes each year at the 4.7 million-square-foot plant. Ford made 800,000 F-Series trucks at three plants last year. Ford's pickup sales have risen 19 percent so far this year as home builders and other construction workers replace the trucks they held onto during the recession. The F-Series is the best-selling vehicle in the U.S., with more than 228,000 sold through April.
Stocks rise as ECB cuts interest rate, jobless claims fall
U.S. stocks rose, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rebounding from the biggest drop in two weeks, as the European Central Bank cut its key interest rate and American jobless claims unexpectedly fell. Facebook Inc. added 3 percent as the operator of the world's largest social network reported sales that topped projections. General Motors Co. rose 4.5 percent as it narrowed its first-quarter loss in Europe. MetLife Inc. and Prudential Financial Inc. climbed more than 2.9 percent after the insurers' earnings beat forecasts. The S&P 500 rose 0.6 percent to 1,592.49 at 11:07 a.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 75.99 points, or 0.5 percent, to 14,776.94. Trading in S&P 500 stocks was 4.6 percent below the 30-day average during this time of day. "The ECB did the minimum it needed to do," Michael Strauss, who helps oversee about $25 billion of assets as chief investment strategist at Commonfund Group in Wilton, Connecticut, said by telephone. "Are they way behind the curve? Yes, but it at least showed that they're recognizing the economic deterioration in the euro zone. The announcement was widely expected but on the margin it provided some help and the jobless claims data provided some help."

New Videos: Joey Bada$$ says swank now and Dana Coppa & Speak Easy have the greatest cameo ever
Joey Bada$$ - Hilary Swank
Taken from his lastest mixtape Summer Knights, Joey Bada$$ gives us some visuals for the joint "Hilary Swank." His quick rise to fame in the underground hip-hop scene is showcased in the video and overall, it's well deserved. His wisdom and smooth flow at such a young age separate him from so many other MCs in the game right now. When the mixtape dropped, "Hilary Swank" added itself to the list of joints that get played repeatedly in my car, and if you hit play you'll see why.

Woodbridge High School is honored to host MyCentralJersey.com Snapple Bowl XX practices at Nicholas A. Priscoe Stadium.
We are always proud to be a part of this great game, whether its our Barron football players taking part in the action on the field, our coaches leading the Middlesex County All-Star squads or our cheerleaders adding their Barron spirit to help pump up the crowd.
This year, when our coach, Bill Nyers, told me he was the offensive coordinator for Middlesex County, I suggested if they needed a place to practice, why not use our field?
Our former principal, Lee Warren, who recently retired, and our superintendent, Dr. Robert Zega, were quick to give it their blessing. I also want to thank Steve Caroscio, our newly appointed principal, for allowing it, as well.
The Snapple Bowl has done so much over the years for the games beneficiaries the Lakeview School in Edison and Childrens Specialized Hospital.
We are excited to be just a small part of this wonderful game.

House of the Landlords
It was 1999 in the village of Jaipurhat, it was cold and gloomy. In the middle of the village, it was decorated with lights and lamps. The signboards were written as:
মহা বিবাহে আসার জন্য শ্বাগতম
(Welcome to the Royal Wedding)
People were enjoying the wedding. During that, a little girl was with a bride.
The little girl asked "May I play with the others?"
"Yes, but don't go to the corridor" said the bride.
Then she played with the others. Suddenly, she heard a strange sound calling the little girl but no one heard of the sound except her. The little girl followed the sound unconsciously through a staircase. She went upstairs curiously. Her football was dropped a bit slow. When she went inside, she found out that, the corridor was large and covered with green dust as it was made of expensive stones.
"Hello" cried the little girl.
"Hello! Are you there?"
"Oishi! I am coming!" said the strange baritone voice.
The little girl, Oishi ran away through downstairs. She was scared with hype. She ran down and down. Then she slipped off from the stairs. When all saw her, she was unconscious. People were crying that what 'really' happened to the girl? Some people were saying that she should not go to the forbidden corridor.
The bride cried "OISHI! OISHI! Are you all right!"
She could not answer while she was unconsciously cried for help. Then a man with a spectacle and a suit gave her a bucket of water. One of the villagers asked "who are you?"
"I am Dr. Rafi Khan and the groom himself" replied the man.
Most of the villagers applauded.

Phelps gets in Lochte's wayComment on this story
Ryan Lochte tried to claim these London Games as his own in the pool on Thursday night with what would have amounted to a quite extraordinary achievement. Trouble was, a guy by the name of Michael Phelps was in no mood to let him.
Lochte was ambitious. At 7.48pm he would attempt to win the 200 metres backstroke and 31 minutes after that he would go for gold again in the 200m individual medley. It would not have been a record. That particular honour belongs to Kornelia Ender, a muscle-bound East German woman who collected two gold medals in the space of 27 minutes in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. But Ender did not have someone of the quality of Phelps to contend with, nor a younger, perhaps hungrier, back-stroke specialist called Tyler Clary.
It all proved something of a nightmare for Lochte and an evening to savour for his fellow Americans. Clary took Lochte's Olympic crown in the first race before Phelps became the first male swimmer to win an event at three consecutive Games. Beaten by Lochte in the longer medley last weekend, Phelps exacted his revenge in some style to take his 16th Olympic gold and 20th in all, extending that record he set earlier in the week. He got a call from Barack Obama after number 19, the US president even telling him to say hi to his Mom. Perhaps Her Majesty the Queen will drop him a line this time.
In fairness to Lochte, he looked tired in his second race. He had tried to keep his muscles loose by swimming up and down the diving pool between the two events but no amount of tyre lifting or chain pulling could prepare him for a physical test as gruelling as this. Phelps surged into the lead in the opening butterfly leg that remains his speciality and Lochte was unable to make any real impression when his strongest strokes came later in the race. The fact that this was the last ever encounter between these two great swimmers must have made victory all the more satisfying for Phelps. Pleasing too must have been his success in preventing Lochte from becoming the outright king of the Aquatics Centre.
Two wins last night would have taken Lochte's tally to four golds. As it is they have two apiece, with Phelps able to grab another individual medal in the 100m fly before one last effort in the medley relay that will mark his retirement. Lochte revealed on Thursday that he will not take part in that relay. Lochte looked stunned by the manner in which he lost his 200m backstroke Olympic title. He appeared to be in total control and was in front after emerging from the final turn. But the exact same time he recorded to win in Beijing, a time that stood as the Olympic record, was not good enough on this occasion. In the final straight he was passed by both Clary and Ryosuke Irie, with the American touching ahead of the Japanese swimmer to take gold in 1:53.41.
For the Americans it was proving quite a night. Rebecca Soni successfully defended her Olympic title in the 200m breaststroke, breaking the world record she set only 24 hours earlier with a stunning time of 2:19.59. But before Phelps was finished he too would take a plunge in the diving pool before qualifying for this evening's 100m utterfly final with the quickest time. "Being the first man to win three gold medals in the same event feels pretty special," he said afterwards. His performance last night was very special indeed. [email protected] – Daily Mail

Iowa City Community School Board candidates reported a wide range of fundraising totals this week, with the highest earner bringing in more than $8,500 and another candidate not accepting any donations at all.
The nine candidates vying for three seats this year have brought in more than School Board candidates in the 2011 election. At this point last time, the best-funded candidate was current School Board member Jeff McGinness, who had brought in just more than $3,000. This year, almost half the candidates have raised more than that.

Columnist: Despite losing Klein and nine starters on defense, Bill Snyder can still keep Kansas State relevant
The last time Kansas State started a season by winning its first 10 games, the Wildcats managed to lose twice.
When they began 1998 11-0, they fell to Texas A&M in the Big 12 title game and to Purdue in that year's Alamo Bowl. When Kansas State began 10-0 this year, it lost to Baylor to cost it a chance at playing for a national title and again to Oregon in its third-ever Fiesta Bowl appearance Thursday night.
Kansas State was able to salvage a conference championship this year, its first since 2003. It took a while for the Wildcats to become relevant after that year, but Sam Mellinger of The Kansas City Star believes that the Wildcats can remain successful with head coach Bill Snyder leading the way.
"This is one of the greatest coaches in his sport's history, teaming with an irrepressible quarterback for a run of accomoplishment that became respected and cheered even by their rivals," Mellinger wrote of Snyder and Klein. "K-State returns just two starters on defense. Klein is a senior… This will be another enourmous task, even for Snyder."
Among those lost on offense, along with Klein, will be wide receiver Chris Harper and tight end Travis Tannahill. While the Wildcats lose defensive stalwarts like linebacker Arthur Brown and defensive end Meshak Williams, they'll bring back safety Ty Zimmerman and running back John Hubert. Snyder has also secured a commitment from arguably the nation's top junior college quarterback in Iowa Western's Jake Waters, who threw for 39 touchdowns and three interceptions for a team that won the NJCAA title.
"You might remember the last time K-State won a Big 12 title," Mellinger continued. "That was 2003, the year Darren Sproles led the nation in rushing and the Wildcats upset No. 1 Oklahoma in the conference championship at Arrowhead Stadium.

The news of Cody Cousins' alleged involvement in Tuesday afternoon's fatal shooting at Purdue University came as a shock to Thomas Gräber, a friend and former classmate.
The two met in 2009 when they sat next to each other in a philosophy course at Purdue, said Gräber, who is currently enrolled at Vincennes University.
The picture Gräber described of Cousins - a man he said enjoyed playing basketball, shopping, going to the bar and writing - is anything but the description of a killer. ...

The five bars so far ... (Maureen Tisdale / The Detroit News)
I knew I�d crossed the line � that my quest to find the perfect hand-held breakfast for my husband had veered so far into healthy that it had left delicious behind � when he took to slathering my latest attempt with frosting to get it down.
So much for healthy.
This breakfast muffin � the latest effort in a quest that began with a bar my husband really liked but was too full of nuts for his digestion � is my fifth attempt, and it�s become clear my husband and I have different mindsets about the process.
For my husband, the destination � a delicious breakfast bar that�s homemade, and therefore more wholesome than the preservative-laden commercial kind, plus ideally cheaper � is the destination. So since he liked my oats-brown-sugar-honey-dried-apple Attempt No. 2 pretty well (�it�s great � just needs to be slightly less sweet�), he seems to think playing with that would become my focus.
But it turns out for me, the journey is the destination. How could I settle down so fast when there were at least two other ideas I wanted to explore (not to mention the other 15 recipes his Aunt Bev had sent me)?
For example, I�d read somewhere that you could use nutritious oat bran in place of white flour in some recipes. So the third batch actually became Attempts No. 3 and 4, as I divided the recipe to make half with flour, half with bran. Sadly, both halves bombed � the bran half the worse of the two, barely qualifying as a bar as it crumbled into cakey pieces.
Hating to waste, my husband ate them as a mix in for yogurt to get them down, while I considered the lessons learned there to be (a) that bran is not a definite and equal substitute for flour in all baked goods and (b) that my husband wants soft but not flour- or bran-based bars.
In fact, he tried at that point to encourage me to go back to the oat-based Attempt No. 2 as a base with which to tinker. But I told him I had a hankering to try this muffin idea first.
Amused husband, with exaggerated hangdog expression: �So ... this isn�t really about me, then?�
Oh course it is, honey! Right after I have fun with this one recipe ...
� which took us to Attempt No. 5, the too-healthy muffin. The slathered-on frosting, though, may be a gamechanger. Even though I find fun in the journey, I DO want my husband to enjoy a reasonably healthy bar; it�s one thing when yogurt is employed to help, another when you have to bring in pure fat and sugar.
SO the quest continues. Right now, I�m working on emptying our deep freezer to defrost before the seasons turn, so my husband is getting to revisit all the previous batches bar by bar in his daily lunch (except Attempt No. 5, there�s a twist to that story � more on that next week). But within a week or two, I think the frosting factor will send me skittering back to playing with Attempt No. 2.
Wait just a second � was my husband using frosting as a Jedi mind trick??? Food for thought �
What are your food or recipe quests? Any suggestions for lightening up the sweetness factor in Attempt No. 2 � substitutions for brown sugar or honey? Add-ins like Craisins? We�d love to hear from you in the comments below. You need a Facebook account to add comments, but they�re easy to sign up for, and free. Maureen Tisdale, Detroit News Food Editor, will keep an eye out the next few days to respond to any great comments or questions you post. You can also follow her on Twitter @reentiz.

Preparing for college requires asking yourself a lot of big questions. You have to examine what makes you tick and what you really want from your future, not to mention what you want your college experience to feel like. We try to answer those questions as smoothly as possible. We're here to help.
Eastern Illinois University offers a variety of majors and degrees that will equip and enable you to go down the career and life path you have in mind. If your career and life path involves advanced study, we have graduate degrees for you to continue on that path right here at EIU.
If it seems overwhelming to commit yourself to just one major, Eastern has a long list of minors available to balance your pursuits. Whether your minor complements your major or fulfills your own personal interests, it can be an enjoyable — and worthwhile — addition to your education.
Do you savor a challenge? If "good enough" is not good enough for you, our University Honors program could be the perfect fit. We offer enriched and rigorous versions of our required general education courses — the courses all students must take to complete a major.
Honors courses are smaller and taught in a less formal structure by professors especially distinguished in their particular fields. Completing honors coursework prepares students to compete at the highest levels for career opportunities and graduate school placements.
Interested in becoming part of the honors program? We're looking for the best of the best — students who can meet two of the following three requirements:
ACT composite score of 26 or higher, or SAT score of 1760/2400 or higher.
Upper 10 percent of high school graduating class, or a 3.5/4.0 final high school GPA.
Permission to enroll in the program from the dean of the Honors College.
Once you pick a major, you probably want to know who is going to help guide you through your academic experience. Enter EIU's accomplished team of faculty, who are ready, willing and eager to help you get the most out of your course of study. Our faculty are simply some of the most dedicated people you will find, and their passion is to teach Eastern students. In addition, our advising staff makes it their goal to keep you on track. Eastern faculty members are involved in cutting-edge research, winning awards for their academic efforts. And while faculty research is impressive, most came here to fulfill their desire to teach and pass on their passions and insights to you.
Who needs limits? Your EIU experience doesn't have to be confined to Charleston or even the United States. While many students find the traditional on-campus experience to be a satisfying one, Eastern offers plenty of ways for you to broaden your horizons through our Office of Study Abroad.
The Office of Study Abroad, in consultation with the International Education Council, is dedicated to providing EIU students affordable, high-quality international academic opportunities. Our students have travelled the world, taking their academic insights to places like Italy, the United Kingdom, the Bahamas, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, China, Argentina, Spain, Belgium and more.
EIU believes an international experience can help you develop personally and professionally. The skills you'll gain are becoming more and more valuable in an increasingly global economy. The Office of Study Abroad doesn't exist merely to send students on getaways — their goal is to transform students into exceptional participants in an intercultural world.
Exploring and applying your classroom knowledge can be an extremely fulfilling way to grow academically and personally. Fortunately, Eastern's faculty members are continually involved in a multitude of research and creative activities, and in many cases, this work is done in conjunction with the efforts of their students. When you do research at Eastern, you will be part of a prestigious team, not just an extra set of hands in a crowded field. Your insights can break new ground for discovery for yourself, your classmates and future Eastern students. These endeavors have proven to not only boost the reputation of the faculty and university, but ensure the highest quality of education for their students.
When you attend EIU, you won't be in it alone. Our Student Success Center is here to provide you tutoring, consultation and a number of other resources designed to help you achieve your academic goals. Whether you need help with time management, test-taking or study methods, the SSC can help.
Writing skills can place you at the front of the line in an increasingly challenging job market, but we also understand writing doesn't come naturally to everyone. Workshops and individual sessions can assist students from all disciplines, majors and academic backgrounds at any stage of the writing process.
For first-generation or low-income students, academic assistance, financial guidance and counseling is available via TRiO Student Support Services. TRiO's help ranges from offering access to computer labs to helping students plot their academic courses and prepare for life after their undergraduate studies.
EIU's mission to educate and prepare you for post-college life isn't limited to students without physical disabilities. Regardless of your needs, EIU is committed to making sure you can attend classes, earn a degree and excel.
The Academic Advising Center assists students with course selection, career goals and major selection. The Center continues to be the hub of the network for those who advise students across the entire campus of Eastern Illinois University.
College students come from an amazing variety of backgrounds. In some cases, you may have experienced difficulties outside your control that make qualifying for admission to EIU more challenging. The Gateway Program is designed to provide access for students like this. You might qualify for Gateway if:

REVIEW: Unforgivable by Laura Griffin
Dear Ms. Griffin,
I got all excited when Jane sent me a copy of your latest book, "Unforgivable." I've come to expect top notch suspense and romance from you and this latest one doesn't disappoint. Well, not that much.
Dr. Mia Voss is one of the experts in her field of DNA recovery. Working for the private Delphi Center, she is "one with her job" and dedicated to helping law enforcement crack cases and send the guilty to jail. Mia's seen her share of the horrible aftermath of crime which is why when she's carjacked – actually jeepjacked – on her way home from a trip to the nearest minimart to get some Ben and Jerry's restorative ice cream, she's determined not to die at the hands of the masked man holding a gun on her. Seizing her chance, she escapes the jeep and plunges into the night but the former cop who came to her aid isn't as lucky.
Ric Santos and his partner Jonah Macon catch the case and, with the weight of the department on them to find the cop killer, buckle down and set to work. Ric and Mia have worked together on cases before and Mia once thought something might come of it. That is before Ric suddenly stopped calling or dropping by. Now he's got to convince her that he wasn't just "buttering her up" to get her to prioritize his cases. But with the evidence not adding up and a sadistic killer on the loose, can Ric sort out his feelings for Mia, even as he tries to protect her from someone who's targeted her for death?
I find the whole idea of the Delphi Center to be fascinating. Experts working with the finest and latest technology to catch criminals and close cases. I think I've mentioned that I'm a Cold Case fanatic and love watching the amazing things that can be done these days. So seeing Mia and her colleagues at work is a delight. If only there were about 5,000 more of her to help clear the RL backlog of unprocessed cases in this country.
Anyhow, back to the book. The case is well thought out, makes sense and I can see it happening. The way Mia is manipulated into what she does is chillingly realistic as well. I have to say that even after she works with the FBI and gets immunity, I wonder how it will affect her future cases. Just saying. And though for the most part Mia is intelligent and thinks under pressure to save her life – twice! – she does a few things in the middle of the book which pulled me up short. The scene in which Ric dresses her down for refusing to leave her house had me nodding and saying, "You tell her, Ric!" But the final chase scene is written with your usual emotional punch and, again as usual, had me glued to it until the villain was caught.
The romance works better for me all around. Ric has lost in love before and is understandably wary but the signs of his growing feelings for Mia are all around for everyone to see, despite his grump act. I like that Mia is the one to make the moves and ultimately decides to go for it despite Ric's aforementioned grumpiness. The last scene, when he finally – and it was down to the last page, I tell ya – declares himself seems realistic too. Not a peep about the L word and then it's meet my daughter. That alone should tell Mia he's serious!
There's a truncated, secondary, kinda romance going on here that I also enjoyed but I'm not sure if this is it or if we'll see these two get their own starring roles. Guess I need to wait for the finished copy of the book which, hopefully, will have a blurb from your upcoming book to find out.
So a good romance, a good plot set up, a lot about a science I find riveting balanced with Mia acting silly once or twice – though not, thank God silly enough to shift her near to TSTL territory – gives me a final grade of B. Looking forward to the next one!

"Easy As Pie" – What Does That Mean???
Growing up, I watched my mom and three aunts roll, dust, and whip their way to pie perfection. Flaky crusts, sumptuous filling and satisfied bellies were the order of the day. It looked ANYTHING but easy. Where did this expression come from???
Not only do I have to figure out how to celebrate GAPS-style this year, I have to figure out how to do it without my mommy. Can you hear me whining over here? I want my mommy!
Are you in the same boat? Do you need to stick to GAPS over the holidays and/or want your mommy to help stuff the turkey? I can't do anything about the turkey, but I can tell you that pie is easy!
It's as easy as . . . pie
And it's GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!
P.S. Katja Swift inspired this crust recipe and Kirsten V. is the brilliant woman who figured out how to convert my pumpkin pie porridge into pie filling. Thank you, mamas!
Katja's Crust Ingredients {Makes 2 Crusts}
- 3 eggs, preferably pastured
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon ghee or butter
- 1 1/4teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
- 2 – 4 cups pecans
- Add all ingredients except 2 cups nuts to the food processor and blend. Check the consistency – it should be a thick paste. Add pecans incrementally until paste consistency is reached.
- Grease two pie plates. Put the crust mix into the pie plate and mush it with the back of a spoon or your fingers until it is smooth and flat across the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Smooth just a tad over the lip of the plate but not all the way . . . nut crusts have a tendency to burn easier and all you'll get for your effort is a burnt edge that's stuck to the pan. Don't worry, it will still be pretty and delicious! Repeat with other pie plate.
- Put the crusts into the oven at 350 degrees for 10 or 15 minutes. Then put it aside until you are ready to pour in the pie filling.
Kirsten's Filling Ingredients:
- 1 small pie pumpkin (about 3 cups cooked pumpkin)
- 1 cup coconut milk (where to buy coconut milk, how to make your own coconut milk – dried coconut version/fresh coconut version)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt (where to buy salt)
- 1/2 cup raw honey (where to buy raw honey)
- 4 eggs, preferably pastured
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut pumpkin in half and scoop out seeds. I've found that an ice cream scoop works well for this. Don't throw the seeds away! Check out this recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds with chili & lime from Jenny at Nourished Kitchen. They are my fave GAPS-friendly movie snack!
- Place pumpkin halves cut side down in a baking dish and add 1/4 inch water.
- Remove from the oven when you can easily pierce the shell with a fork (about 45 minutes – 1 hour)
- Scoop out the flesh and place in a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth, adding some of the coconut milk if necessary to thin it out enough to blend.
- When the puree is ready, add the rest of the coconut milk, eggs, honey and spices. Add filling to pie crusts and bake at 350 for 45 minuts to one hour. If you have one of these pie crust protectors, awesome. If not just use some foil (eek! I know!)

YES…looks awesome.
You've almost convinced us to take the GAPS plunge with your superior recipes!
Yummy! My pumpkin pie recipe is very similar, except I use regular raw milk instead of coconut milk. The pecan crust is sooooo much tastier than an old fashioned pie crust!
I'm very much looking forward to your recipes!
I've recently cut out *deep breath*….wheat/gluten, dairy, sugar, caffeine, and most high GI foods because I am working with a naturopath to figure out some food allergy issues. That first day, I was craving dessert like a crazy person, and I made a pie very similar to this. I was so pleased with how the nut crust turned out! Thanks for posting and for reminding us that delicious desserts don't have to involve wheat products!
Ooh! Can't wait to make it with the pecan crust! I'm sure my family won't mind being guinea pigs for dessert! 😉 Also, a tip from my pie-maker-exfraoidinaire mom, bake pies on the very bottom rack of the oven to help the bottom and middle cook at the same speed as the top. Helps with keeping the crust from burning too. And I got the idea to add eggs to the porridge recipe from someone else…but thanks for the credit! Hehe.
If I was baking a regular flour crust, I would agree with you, the pie would cook on the bottom rack. But like the recipe says, nut crusts burn easier so they shouldn't be baked that close to the source of heat.
Wow! I will give this a try and get dome feedback on the big day. Love there are so few ingredient.
Haha, Julie Lucas Enlow! Between this and my fave GAPS key lime pie recipe it really is hard to feel deprived 😉
Stacy Dexter – Good! I'll keep 'em coming!
Kari R. SaintLouis – I'd love to hear what they say!
How do you use the foil, exactly? I tried a version of pumpkin pie with pecan crust recently and the crust did burn. I'd be interested to try it again, though!
No one in my fam even knows what GAP is…but paleo book has been passed around. The cool thing is most dont even notice much of a difference in food. Been enjoying you hints to add avocado and coconut milk and liver into kids diets. Feel very sneaky! Kids like helping at the juicer and beginning to when them over.
Love it, Kari R. SaintLouis! We often tell people that we are Paleo because it's easier to explain 😉
Great series Heather! Looks delish!
I fell in love with your Pumpkin Porridge a week or two ago, and my grand plan for this beautiful Saturday morning was to make that porridge into a pie… You've done it for us, thank you! You've saved my kitchen & my weekend, no doubt!

I assume we can use almonds instead of pecans????? We are not pecan fans
Amy Rhodes McClellan – I have not tried it, but I don't see why not!
Neato! Thanks for this recipe. I assume ideally you would soak and dehydrate the pecans first to neutralize the anti-nutrients, right?
Im going to try it with walnuts, a neighbor bought some wholesale and raw….we shall see. Mom is excited to try it out.
[…] good for you, too. I've since made more of it and even topped some cupcakes with it. The pumpkin pie had a great flavor, but I think the crust was too thick. It would have been better if I […]
I'm running out of ink printing all these yummy recipes. Incredible! I'll let you know how the family reacts to all these 'sweets'! thank you so much
This looks great! I'm thinking of making it for my daughter's 2nd birthday this week. Can the crust be made without the butter? I can't do dairy. I was thinking maybe coconut oil in it's place?
What type of pie crust protector did you buy? I was looking on Amazon for a stainless steel one and I only found aluminum or silicone. Thanks!
One other question- are the filling ingredients also for 2 pies? I'm planning to only make one pie, so can I just half both the crust and filling ingredients?
It says 2-4 cups of pecans… Is that 2 to 4 cups, 2 times 4 cups (8cups) or what. Sorry, I, baking deficient

So when the puree is ready it should be about 3 cups of puree for each pie?
