If Yankees Exit Playoffs Early, Blame A New Curse
I don't believe in voodoo, or evil eyes, or curses — especially in sports. I never believed in the Curse of the Bambino upon the Red Sox, or that a goat has cursed the Cubs. However, I do firmly believe that if there are curses, or that there should be curses, then the New York Yankees will be cursed forever, starting right now.
This is what the team gets for erecting a 35-square-foot graven image to immortalize their late owner, George Steinbrenner — a glitzy monument to his pomposity and excess — that positively dwarfs the monuments of the other Yankees who actually played baseball, thus rendering the glorious likenesses of Ruth and Gehrig and DiMaggio and Mantle as just so many little Facebooks in the crowd.
There's already a joke going around that the only three things made by man that you can see from a satellite in outer space are The Great Wall of China, the Pyramids and the plaque of George Steinbrenner at Yankee Stadium.
But the curse aside, as the playoffs begin Wednesday, it would appear that the Yankees are most unlikely to be able to repeat as champions.
It is especially instructive that the quartet of stalwarts who have been the core of the club for so long — Derek Jeter, the noble captain; Jorge Posada, the yeoman catcher; Andy Pettitte, the reliable southpaw, and Mariano Rivera, the inscrutable closer — all have begun, almost together, to start to crumble.
Both Pettitte and Posada were shelved with injuries this year, and Rivera, surely the best reliever ever, three times blew saves in September. We are advised now that he is "working on his motion." Mariano Rivera — working on his motion. It sounds as odd as: Vincent van Gogh — working on his brush strokes.
As for Jeter, since June he has played his age, which is 36, and which is particularly, historically, long in the tooth for shortstops.
Jeter's 10-year contract concludes this year. Obviously, he and the Yankees will stay the course, together. Among other realities, Jeter is simply worth more to the Yankees as their icon than he is to any other team as an ordinary player. The Yankees will pay him the baseball version of a golden parachute to stick around and lend his class to the crass awhile longer. Derek Jeter, shortstop emeritus.
But for now, notwithstanding the talents of C.C. Sabathia and Mark Teixeira and of course, A-Rod, and the multitude of other stars that the Yankees have bought and paid top dollar for, the simultaneous erosion of the team's four horsemen seems to symbolically portend the end for the defending champions. You get the feeling that the last hurrah was last year.
And then, there's that new curse to contend with, too.

Afterward, an Obama spokesman implausibly insisted the dollar-bills comment was not about race: "What Barack Obama was talking about was that he didn't get here after spending decades in Washington." This is rich. George Washington didn't serve in Washington either, given that the capital of the country was first New York and then Philadelphia. His path to the presidency went through Trenton, Valley Forge and Yorktown (granted, quite different than Obama's). As for the other presidents, neither Abraham Lincoln, nor Andrew Jackson, nor U.S. Grant was a Washington time-server prior to winning the White House.
Obama clearly was talking about race. He said much the same thing in Berlin: "I don't look like the Americans who've previously spoken in this great city." Did he merely mean that he has better-fitting suits and a slimmer frame?
Obama has apparently been spoiling to throw out the race charge. When he won the North Carolina primary, he said McCain would "play on our fears" and "exploit our differences." In June, he said Republicans were going to run against him saying: "He's young and inexperienced, and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"
Obama hopes to use the racism card to inhibit all criticism of him, with the presumed cooperation of the press. But there's a much larger downside. Obama's race is a political advantage so long as it is sold in a post-racial context. If his background is a symbol of how we can get beyond the poisoned atmosphere of both racism and the hyperactive, opportunistic charges of racism, it's a boon to his change-and-unity candidacy. That's why Jesse Jackson expressing a desire to perform emergency surgery on Obama was a priceless assist.
Now, Obama could throw it away in a fit of self-destructiveness worthy of ... dare we say it, Britney Spears?

Love, Lost And Found: "Things Just Fell Into Place" By NPR Staff • 9 minutes ago Terry Farley remembers her first boyfriend: Steve Downey. The year was 1971. She was 14, he was 16. "He was my first love, the first boy I ever kissed, the first boy I ever held hands with and he was hard to forget," Farley tells NPR's Rachel Martin in the Valentine's Day edition of For the Record. Genya Ravan, 'Rock And Roll Refugee,' Has Stories To Fill Two Lifetimes By Allyson McCabe • 1 hour ago Genya Ravan's name has always been a hurdle: strangers tend to stress the wrong syllable, or reduce it to something more conventional. (Jimmy Fallon once casually referred to her as "Gina.") 5 Opinions From Justice Antonin Scalia That Are Worth A Read By Eyder Peralta • 7 hours ago One thing that is undeniable about Justice Antonin Scalia is that his opinions were always a good read. He was a reliable conservative, but every once in a while he broke rank. Most of all, however, Scalia, who died on Saturday, will be remembered for his scathing dissents.

We spoke to NPR's Legal Affairs Correspondent Nina Totenberg about his life, legacy and what's next. 1. Let's talk about Scalia's legal perspective. He was known as a proponent of originalism.

Tributes Flow For Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia By Maquita Peters • 10 hours ago Lawmakers, presidential candidates on both sides and other prominent Americans have been reacting to the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia, 79, was found dead Saturday at a luxury ranch in West Texas. Both conservatives and liberals have been describing him as brilliant, patriotic and a defender of the Constitution. And while several commenters have said they disagreed with Scalia's views, they all professed sound respect for him. We've rounded up some of the tributes. Obama Remembers Scalia As 'Consequential,' Vows To Appoint Replacement By Domenico Montanaro • 10 hours ago President Obama struck a somber tone, remembering the late-Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia as a "towering legal mind" who influenced a generation, but made it clear, he intends to replace him. "I plan to fulfill my constitutional obligation to appoint a successor — in due time," Obama said, adding that he expected a fair hearing and a timely vote. Get Ready For A Fight To Replace Scalia By Carrie Johnson • 11 hours ago Justice Antonin Scalia loved a good fight. So it's only fitting that news of his death at age 79 ignited an immediate and partisan battle over who might take his place on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Burundian Peacekeeping Abroad Can Fuel Conflict At Home By Gregory Warner • 15 hours ago It may not sound like a reward, being a soldier chosen to fight as a peacekeeper in war-torn Somalia or Central African Republic. But for soldiers from one of the poorest countries in the world, Burundi, it's seen as an opportunity of a lifetime. Soldiers angle to wear the blue helmet — and to pull an international salary and other benefits, covered by the United Nations. In Historic Trial, Mayan Women Accuse Ex-Military Officers Of Sex Slavery By NPR Staff • 15 hours ago Last week, a historic trial began in Guatemala.

In a statement, the Somalia-based Islamist group said the attack was targeting Western and Turkish intelligence agents and that the bomb was intended to destroy the entire plane, The Associated Press reports. The attack failed on that front: the bomb detonated just 15 minutes after take-off, while the plane was only at 11,000 feet, and despite the hole in the plane's fuselage it made a safe emergency landing in Mogadishu. Florida Says Its Fruits, Vegetables Are Safe From Invasive Fruit Fly By Camila Domonoske • 19 hours ago Florida's avocados, papayas, tomatoes, mangoes, peaches, passionfruit and peppers are safe — along with more than 400 other fruits and vegetables.

A Symphony's Big Challenge: Lift A Tough School Through Music By Eric Westervelt • 19 hours ago A group of 10- and 11-year-olds giggle as professional cellist Frederic Rosselet flexes his wrist as if he's made of rubber. "Really flexible in your wrist," he tells the students. "It's your arm basically that does the work." The cello students at Downer Elementary School in San Pablo, Calif., drag their bows across their cello's strings, following Rosselet's wrist-shaking lead. Screeeech. It needs work. "Guys, wanna try that again? 'Forte' means?" "Loud!" the students reply. Peace Corps Volunteer Values Staying Active In Old Age By editor • 21 hours ago Alice Carter has traveled a long road to get to where she is today. Morocco, that is.

Spain's Playground For The Wealthy Becomes Corruption Scandal Epicenter By Lauren Frayer • 22 hours ago Spain's royals don't keep their yachts at the Royal Yacht Club anymore.

Listen: 10 World Cafe Sessions With This Year's Grammy Nominees By David Dye • 22 hours ago There was a time when the world of World Cafe and the world of the Grammys only intersected with a few Contemporary Folk nominees.

Producers are recording on iPhones and reporters are deploying selfie sticks to capture live shots, while crew toting video cameras stalk bigger game. The quarry — presidential candidates and their surrogates — are announced by a party staffer carrying a vertical placard, hoping to draw the attention of the fickle journalistic hordes. Fresh Air Weekend: Zach Galifianakis; The Duplass Brothers; 'Mad Max' By editor • 22 hours ago Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week: In Trump's German Ancestral Village, The Locals Are Not Impressed By Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson • 22 hours ago Donald Trump wrote in his 1987 book, The Art of the Deal, that his grandfather came from Sweden. These days, the Republican presidential hopeful and real estate mogul embraces different paternal roots. The teetotaler's grandfather actually comes from a medieval wine-making village called Kallstadt, in the southwestern German state of Rhineland Palatinate. Like many Americans of German descent, the Trumps apparently stopped referring to their German heritage during the World Wars. Pages1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … next › last »

Decatur Gun Club
The origins and growth of the Decatur Gun Club parallel that of the clay target itself, and the games created to hone and test shotgun shooting skill. Shotgun sport shooting with live pigeons and later, glass balls existed in the U.S. from the early 1800's. But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.

A textbook case of union-busting: Portland French School teachers struggle for recognition
"I never could imagine that one day when I came to America -- to pursue the American dream, like everybody --that I would come to a point when the management of my work would come and have that meeting. I will never forget that one. It comes in my nightmares at night. It went for five hours. It was like threats, clear threats from management: 'The school is going to close.'"
Our guest, Massene Mboup, is second-grade teacher and soccer coach at the Portland French School, and an activist in the teachers' union organizing drive at the school. Thanks to management's intimidation tactics -- including threats of deportation and firing two employees -- workers are still struggling to win recognition for their union, despite filing for election with more than seventy percent support last spring. Their story is a textbook example of the challenges workers face in organizing a union.
"After the meeting many teachers were calling me: 'The school is going to close. Can we stop?' and I tell them, 'No, it's anti-union tactics! The school is not going to close. Actually a school can function without a board, without even a principal. A school needs teachers, parents and students. If we have that, you go.'"
We also replay a segment on a Los Angeles teacher who went on hunger strike to oppose cuts to California's education funding.

Membership Drive Special: Education Reform and the War on Teachers
Who is to blame for the failures of public education? The finger is often pointed at teachers and their unions. Tonight's Labor Radio gives educators a chance to talk back. In tonight's membership drive special we take a look at how so-called reforms add to the problems and what educators are doing to resist cutbacks and fight for the real transformations our schools need. First we speak with Bob Peterson, a fifth grade teacher and an editor for Rethinking Schools. Bob Peterson authored an article about the recent victory of the Caucus of Rank and File Educators (CORE) in Chicago, and we ask him about why that victory is important for educators around the country. Then we speak with Amanda Armstrong, a graduate student at UC Berkeley and a member of UAW Local 2865 about last Thursday's day of action and a possible upcoming graduate students strike in the University of California system.

I'm 21 years old and I'm currently expecting on October 28th of this year. The father is very interested in the child as well as settling down with me, even wants to get married 1-3 years from now (just focusing on the baby and my college education right now) and we are currently looking for an apartment before the baby comes. Now, here's the problem: the last name of our baby. I want it to have its father's last name, even though we are dating, not engaged, but are planning to get married. The father wants it under his last name and I already agreed to it. My family are wanting me to keep it under my last name due to 1) not legally married to the father, 2) thinking that he'd run off with the child when I know he won't, he had plenty of time to do that. But if its under my last name and we get married, would he have to adopt his own child? Personally I think that is dumb. But anyways, I come to you guys for advice, if you were in my shoes, what would you do?
Last Name for the Baby?
~ .Mommy-to-be of one: Adrian James Martin
Due October 28th, 2013
I voted for giving the baby the father's last name if you are in a fully committed relationship with him with a future. It sounds like there is no question you will remain together and are in a stable long-term relationship, correct? If there is any doubt that things may not work out down the road, I would give the baby your last name.
Lisa -29 & DH -34
Hoping for our Rainbow. TTC 7 years, 5 Angels
We have had a small history back in middle school and now we gotten back together 9 years later and is having a baby on the way. He's been through some tough things and finally wants to settle down. I want to get married to him and he feels the same way. We haven't fought the past 7 months we've been together and we are definitely in love. I mean, if things happen and we aren't together I could always change it back to my last name, correct?
~ .Mommy-to-be of one: Adrian James Martin
Due October 28th, 2013
If I were you I would hyphenate it and if you do get married, you can always change it. I have my son his dads last name and I regret it. I wouldn't mind it hyphenated, I feel so left out that we don't share a last name. I know some people don't think it's a big deal though.
No, we haven't had any problems whatsoever. Within that time frame with my previous exes we always fought and things like that. It's just that this time it's different with him.
I may talk to him about this whole situation and see how he feels about it. May I ask why you regret having your child's last name the same as the father's? I never felt like being left out but I never thought about it either.
~ .Mommy-to-be of one: Adrian James Martin
Due October 28th, 2013
You never know what can happen.
I gave my son his dads last name and I knew him for many years and thought I was in a committed, happy relationship with this great guy. He promised me the world and said he'd always be there, well...after the baby got here, not so much...not even close.
My mom even said "dont give that baby his last name!" Man I wish I would have listened to my momma! I regret it soooo much!
I want to change it to my last name, but its going to be a process and cosy moneu too.
All I'm saying is things change, people change, feelings change, circumstances change and three years may turn into four years, four years may turn into five.
When you guys do get married add his last name.
Your last name. If you do end up getting married later on then you can always change baby's last name to dad's last name when you change yours.
If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun
My girls have my last name. I've never been married and both dads left when I got pregnant. I love that they have my name. It unites us in a special way so I totally understand PPs who wish they had done the same.
Waiting to meet my little angel. Team Pink!
Planning to meet her 6/13/13!!!
If you wouldn't mind him having dads last name even if you weren't together then go for it. If its something you would want if you broke up then just give it to him at birth. My ex guilted me and said that if I have our son my last name it just meant that I didn't believe we would work out. I felt bad, so I caved. That is literally my only regret in life up to this point.

Article Summary
Gold nanoparticles have already shown promise in precisely highlighting brain tumors, "blowing up" individual diseased cells, and developing a lung cancer breath test. Now researchers have created gold nanoparticles that allow an alpha particle-emitting element to be directed to small cancer tumors. The researchers say the gold coating keeps the powerful radioactive particles in place at the cancer site so they do negligible damage to healthy organs and tissue.

The party has roots back to the days of the princely State of Hyderabad. It was founded and shaped by Nawab Mahmood Nawaz Khan Qiledar of Hyderabad State by the advice of Nawab Mir Osman Ali Khan, the Nizam of Hyderabad and in the presence of Ulma-e-Mashaeqeen in 1927 as a pro-Nizam party. Then it was only Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) and the first meeting was held in the house of Nawab Mahmood Nawaz Khan on November 12, 1927. The MIM advocated the set up of a Muslim dominion rather than integration with India. In 1938 Bahadur Yar Jung was elected President of the MIM which had a cultural and religious manifesto. It soon acquired political complexion and became aligned with the Muslim League in British India.[citation needed] After the Nawab's death in 1944, Qasim Rizvi was elected as the leader.[8]
The Razakars (volunteers), a Muslim paramilitary organization aimed at resisting merger with India, was linked to the MIM. In total up to 150,000 Razakar soldiers were mobilized to fight against the Indian Union and for the independence of the Hyderabad State against Indian integration. After the integration of the Hyderabad state with India, the MIM was banned in 1948. Qasim Rizvi was jailed from 1948 to 1957, and was released on the condition that he would go to Pakistan where he was granted an asylum.[9]
Before leaving, Qasim Rizvi handed over the responsibility of whatever remained of the Ittehadul Muslimeen, to Abdul Wahid Owaisi,a lawyer. Abdul Wahed Owaisi restructured the Party and Organised it into All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen.[10][11] After Abdul Wahed Owaisi, his son Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi took control of AIMIM in 1975 and was referred to as Salar E Millat (commander of the community).[12][13][14]
Party Vision and Mission[edit]
The All India Majlis Ittehad ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is a political party dedicated to protect and advance the rights of Muslims communities in India. It bears true faith and allegiance to the Islam. MIM had to change its vision after Nizam rule ended and sweeping changes were made in its vision according to the Indian Constiution. It strongly believes in the nation's democracy and strives to protect and enhance its quality by effective representation from local municipal councils to the parliament.[15]
AIMIM in Indian Politics[edit]
In 1960, AIMIM won the Mallepally ward of Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. In 1962, Salahuddin won from Patharghatti assembly seat as an Independent candidate and later from Charminar constituency in 1967. In 1972, he won from Yakutpura and later in 1978, again from Charminar.[citation needed]
In 1984 AIMIM emerged victorious in the Hyderabad Lok Sabha Seat and Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi represented Hyderabad till 2004. Since then, Salahuddin's elder son Asaduddin Owaisi represents the seat of Hyderabad.[16][17][18] Mohammad Majid Hussain of the AIMIM was unanimously elected as the Mayor of Greater Hyderabad on January 2, 2012.[19]
AIMIM was once reduced to 1 Assembly seat in Andhra Pradesh in 1994.[20] On 12 November 2012, Asaduddin Owaisi announced the withdrawal of support to the UPA government citing communal policies of the current congress led government.[21][22] All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen was then supporting Congress, both at Centre and at state level in Andhra Pradesh.[23][24][25]
In the Hyderabad Municipality election of 2009 AIMIM won 43 out of 150 seats in the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad[26] and appointed the current Mayor of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Mohammad Majid Hussain.[27] Party president Asaduddin Owaisi won Sansad Ratna award for his outstanding performance in lok Sabha.[28]
AIMIM made its entry into Maharashtra state by winning 13 seats in Nanded-Waghala city municipal council polls held on October 2012.[29] AIMIM made its entry into Karnataka state by winning 6 seats in Karnataka local body elections held in March 2013.[30] In 2014 Elections,AIMIM contested on 35 MLA(20 in Telangana and 15 in Seemandhra) and 6 MP seats in undivided Andhra Pradesh,but was not able to win any extra seat and won same 7 Assembly seats and 1 lone Lok Sabha seat of Old Hyderabad city.[31]
In 2014 elections,in its efforts to win a majority of divisions in the Nizamabad comprising a sizeable Muslim population and also the urban Assembly seat, the MIM this time focused its attention on the constituency giving it the second priority after state capital Hyderabad.[32] MIM won 16 divisions, as much as the Congress, of the total 50 in Nizamabad city Municipal Corporation.[33] However they lost the assembly seat to TRS.[34] Later on MIM made an alliance with TRS for sharing posts in Nizamabad.MIM also secured the Bhainsa municipality by winning 12 wards after a gap of 10 years.[35] The party has for the first time opened its account in Seemandhra by securing five wards of Adoni municipality in Kurnool district.[33]
Non-Muslim candidates for AIMIM[edit]
The Party has fielded Hindus in various assembly and local body elections.[36][37][38][39][40] The AIMIM selected Alampally Pochiah as its First Mayor in the City.[41] MIM had three Hindu Hyderabad mayors- K. Prakash Rao, A. Satyanarayana and Alampalli Pochaiah.[42] A Muralidhar Reddy, Hindu candidate being fielded for an assembly seat by Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen from Rajendranagar constituency, though he lost the election.[43]
Interestingly in 2013 local elections party fielded a woman candidate from Hindu OBC,V.Bhanumathi and won election against Hajira Sultana from congress by 1282 votes.[44]

Everywhere in India things are so colorful! Even in the poor villages the houses are done up in nice bright festive colors. So both the rich & the poor in India have an appreciation for it. Here in the Bangalore Palace of the Maharaja, this courtyard has bright colors everywhere too. Even the woman in the Sari on the far side in dressed in bright blue.
To get these photographs inside the Maharaja's Palace cost a bundle. There is the normal price of admission. Then, if you have a camera, that's where you get nailed if you choose to take photos you can buy a one-day photographer's license for about 5 times the cost of admission. Yes, of course, I paid it. This might be my only time to get inside such a piece of Indian history like this gorgeous palace. If I only had time right now to process all the great shots from this cool place.

Jeffrey's Bay is a really cool seaside town in the Eastern Cape, and during my stay here I recorded my latest Hostelworld.com podcast 'Jeffrey's Bay – A surfer's paradise'. In it, I speak with Andy Thuysman, Chairperson of the Local Boardriders Surf Club.
From the moment I arrived in J-bay it wasn't hard to see why it's such a popular spot, especially with surfers. Beautiful sandy beaches, great waves and more draw in large numbers of visitors each and every year. I wanted to find out more about why surfing is so popular in Jeffrey's Bay though, which is why I decided to interview Andy who's been surfing in the area for many years.
He told me all about the swells and breaks here, where the experienced surfers go (Supertubes) and what you can expect from a surf lesson like the ones pictured here. I also learned about the town's Surf Museum, the beautiful Dolphin Beach which has a Blue Flag, and plenty more.
So whether you're an experienced or wannabe surfer, check out our Jeffrey's Bay podcast to find out more about surfing in J-bay.

Beautifull graphic. One of the best which I saw, contains the motif of Valkyrie.

That's a paraphrase of how The New York Times began a news item about a fallen preacher -- not Jesse "Show Me the Money" Jackson, but "televangelist" Jim Bakker, head of PTL ministries, swiftly deposed after a sex scandal in the '80s.
Bakker's affair was evidently limited to a single night, there was no "love child," and over the course of seven years Bakker paid his lady friend about half ($265,000) of what Jackson admits to paying his mistress in two years ($472,000) -- and about one-third of what the National Enquirer reports Jackson has paid ($640,000).
Jackson's mistress probably needs the money more: Having had her affair with a black liberal, she cannot expect lucrative offers from smut magazines to pose nude. The pornography industry is primarily interested in prolonging the humiliation of Republicans.
Indeed, the entire establishment is truly gleeful only when discussing the sexual scandals of putative conservatives. By contrast, the Jackson "situation," as a New York Times column put it, merely "illustrates the need to acknowledge that our leaders will occasionally disappoint."
The Times column sneered at the idea of using a "test of sexual propriety" as a basis for moral judgments. Real moral lapse -- not to be confused with a 59-year-old man trying to derive sexual satisfaction from a young female staffer -- is being a Republican. Immorality, it seems, can also be "cut(ting) millions of the needy from welfare rolls," or firing Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders because she had "suggested that masturbation should be openly discussed with young people."
It takes a particularly fanatical socialist to believe the government is required to teach adolescent boys to masturbate -- but this logic demonstrates: Disbelief in the ministrations of the federal government is the only known liberal iniquity. Immorality incarnate is either Perverts or People Who Believe in Tax Cuts. Take your pick. Democrats are the proud party of perversion.

Cool Concept
ohhhhhhhhhhh stahp this is too cool!!!!
That's pretty wonderful, I love the idea and it's been executed brilliant. The way you've changed the textures from one to the other is rather elegant, and the difference emphasises both the supple nature of her skin, and it's warm tones and conversely the smooth sheen of the machinery.

And what goes better than those two. I think, the combination of the hard edges of machinery parts and organic substance is quite interesting. ALso in the color scheme

I see no reason why it should be loaded, initialized, etc. if it isn't wanted.
Thanks, -Jeff

Red Velvet Cake and Icing
Found this on another site and tried it out tonight, was delish! I didnât add any red food coloring (all out, oh well) and just a dollop of BC icing and it was a HIT! I used the 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of oil method since that was a comment on the recipe and a lot of people commented that it was better this way and I have to agree! At the suggestion of the commenter I also skipped the vinegar, and just tossed the baking soda in with the flour. I guess it is your call on what to use but this is a great basic recipe.
FYI just recently learned you can freeze buttermilk! I freeze mine in 1/2 cup increments in ziploc baggies, they melt really fast when needed!
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
- 1 ounce food coloring (if you want)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups regular sugar (1 and a half if using shortening instead of oil)
- 1 cup oil ( or 1/2 cup shortening if you prefer)
- 2 eggs
- 2 and a half cups of all purpose flour
- 1 and half tsp baking soda
- 1 cup of milk
- 5 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 cup of regular sugar
- 1 cup of butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- In a sauce pan combine milk and flour. Cook on low heat stirring constantly until it thickens. Let cool completely. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, stir in cooled milk mix and beat until it reaches a spreading consistency.
- Preheat to 350. Mix cocoa and food coloring and set aside
Combine buttermilk, salt and vanilla extract and set aside.
Cream oil and sugar (or shortening and sugar) until mixed.
Beat in eggs one at a time and then add coca mixture.
Beat in buttermilk mix and flour alternatively until it is all incorporated.
Mix baking soda and vinegar together and fold into batter.
Pour into cake pan and bake for approx 30 mins (9 in pans)

I tried this recipe last night. Was really good. Nice and moist. I added 5ml vinegar. Never tried the icing as my family finished them before I got down to making the icing! It made 24 cupcakes.

This is my favoret iceing. But, I use powder sugar instead of regular sugar. It turns out wonderful and not to sweet

This is the exact same frosting recipe my mother always used for her home made red velvet cake while I was growing up. It is the only one I use when I bake them for myself. I have had so many compliments on it as well. People who have said they do not like red velvet cakes will eat this when I bring it into work. I cannot even imagine eating a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting... would just not be a real red velvet cake to me. :)

Haven't been on in awhile and just noticed all the feedback! Thanks! And I would add about 1.5 tsps of vinegar if you want however with the use of buttermilk it is probable better to omit it.
