Gala to raise funds for needy
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 10:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 10:28 a.m.
Bridget Spiess journeyed to New Jersey last November to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy — but the energetic blonde did not abdicate her responsibilities as co-chair of her favorite event, the Catholic Charities Ball.
What: Catholic Charities Ball.
When: 6 p.m., Jan. 28.
Where: Ritz-Carlton, 1111 Ritz Carlton Drive, Sarasota.
Tickets: $250.
Call: Jacquie Crombie or Jeanette Wozniak at 355-4680, ext. 311; sponsorships available.
Spiess and her co-chairs, Mary Kenealy-Barbetta and Julie Delaney have planned, Spiess said, a spectacular black-tie event to raise money for the nonprofit.
The event committee, Janet Allen, Natalee Herrig, Sandy Anderson, Jen Leibold, Jewel Ash, Iris Meyer, Rebecca Blitz, Libby Redmond, Beth Cannata, Marilee Roberts, Antonette Cunningham, Mary Ann Robinson, Nina Dearing, Kate Shaver, Danielle Gladding, Stacy Steindorf, Christina Hall, Beth Sullivan, Chrissy Hays, Lisa Tripodi, Bernice Hebda and Victoria Viteri, began planning shortly after last year's gala.
The entire community is invited to the event; tickets are $250 and sponsorships ranging from $750 to $15,000 are available.
The 2013 theme for the annual Catholic Charities Ball is Winter Wonderland, Giving From the Heart. The gala will be held Jan. 26 at the Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota.
According to District Director Jacquie Crombie, Catholic Charities served more than 9,000 people in Sarasota and Manatee counties last year.
"These are people in poverty," Crombie said. "They are struggling but they were once employed.
"These are not the same people that we served the year before — they are new to their circumstances."
Crombie said that the proceeds from the Catholic Charities Ball benefit programs that serve the less fortunate, provide transitional housing and help to permanently move people from homelessness to apartments and houses as well as providing counseling and classes to make sure that they do not return to their disadvantaged situations.
"We help them but we also teach them budgeting and self-sufficiency," Crombie said.
She added that Catholic Charities partners with agencies like Children First and HeadStart as well as other local agencies to eliminate duplication of services.
Although Spiess works full-time and travels frequently, this year marks her sixth turn as event chair.
"I'm busy — we're all busy — but I do it for the cause," she said. "If I don't jump in and bring those auction items, we can't continue to help the people who need the help the most."
Spiess volunteers for the Diocese of Venice often; she added that she does not see a decline in the number of people seeking assistance.
"I see a lot more young kids and families who need help," she said.
Spiess business expertise is real estate and while economic conditions have improved for some — she said that she has witnessed many families who have had their homes padlocked after foreclosure.
"It is the saddest thing, they lose their home and then they lose hope," Spiess said. "That is where Catholic Charities come in.
"We are able — through your generous donations — to provide hope and help," she added. "We listen, we teach.
"We let them know that we are here and we care."

MORAGA -- A game that began with much excitement ended in major disappointment for the Saint Mary's.
After retiring former star Matthew Dellavedova's No. 4 jersey in a pregame ceremony in front of a sellout crowd of 3,500 fans, the Gaels couldn't hold onto a double-digit lead and lost to BYU 60-57 at McKeon Pavilion on Saturday night.
Saint Mary's struggled against the Cougars' zone defense in the second half when it shot just 32 percent and scored 22 points. The Gaels also had two crucial turnovers in the final minute of the battle for second place in the West Coast Conference.
"There's pressure and we have to handle the pressure better," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said. "We did a lot right, we just didn't finish the game."
Dellavedova, now a rookie with the Cleveland Cavaliers, made the most famous shot of his record-setting and decorated Saint Mary's career against BYU last year, a running 3-pointer at the buzzer that gave the Gaels a 70-69 win in Provo.
But BYU (18-10, 10-5 WCC) wouldn't let the Gaels (19-8, 9-5 WCC) replicate that late-game magic. The Cougars took a 58-55 lead on a pair of Matt Carlino free throws with 7.2 seconds to play and elected to foul Stephen Holt with four seconds left, rather than risk a 3-pointer.
He made both free throws, and Skyler Halford then made two for the Cougars with three seconds to play. Holt was fouled again with a second left and missed, but the Cougars secured the rebound as time ran out.
"I was torn," Bennett said of how to play Holt's first trip to the free throw line. "Five seconds left, I know what I'd do. Three seconds, I know what I'd do. Four ... I'm OK with it. (Holt) made them make free throws, and if they didn't make their free throws, then you have a chance to win it or tie it."
Brad Waldow finished with 17 points and 13 rebounds for Saint Mary's, which led by as many as 14 points in the first half and 35-25 at halftime before its offense went stagnant.
"We've seen zone this whole year and we've been able to shoot teams out of it," said Holt. "Part of it was turnovers ... some of it was uncharacteristic and some of it was us not knocking down shots. If we face it again, we'll be confident."
Saint Mary's made just four of 19 shots from beyond the arc (21.1 percent).
BYU never trailed after Nate Austin's tip-in with 2:50 left as the Cougars completed a regular-season sweep.
Dellavedova, who has the weekend off for the NBA All-Star break, is just the second men's basketball player to have his jersey retired at Saint Mary's, joining Tom Meschery (1958-1961).
"I feel a little bit young for it," said Dellavedova. "But it's good that I can come back and publicly thank a lot of people that made my experience at Saint Mary's an awesome one."
Saint Mary's (19-8, 9-5 WCC) at USF (16-10, 9-5), 8 p.m. CSNCA

Welcome to Relais de Venise L'Entrecôte
For over fifty years at our Parisian restaurant we have offered a unique dining experience where customers come to enjoy just one dish – a green salad with walnuts dressed with mustard vinaigrette followed by steak frites, served with a secret recipe sauce, in buzzy, convivial surroundings.
When you dine with us, there is no menu - simply tell your waitress how you would like your steak cooked. After your salad starter, two thirds of your steak is brought to you, with one third held back to keep warm, so you can enjoy it at its best and is accompanied with more freshly prepared frites.
There is a small selection of wines to accompany your steak frites and to round off the meal, you can choose from a selection of cheeses and a dessert list with profiteroles, meringue and other ice cream confections.
With this simple offering, prompt service and informal atmosphere, Relais de Venise L'Entrecôte is an ideal place to enjoy a quick and inexpensive meal with friends, family and colleagues.
We have a policy of no reservations so please note that at peak times you may have to wait for a table.
Our Background
In 1959, Paul Gineste de Saurs purchased an Italian restaurant called Le Relais de Venise in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, near Porte Maillot with the intention of developing a market for the wines produced by his family's Château de Saurs winery near Toulouse in South West France.
Not having had a restaurant background, M de Saurs decided to keep the operation simple: he retained the Venetian décor, added a 'L'Entrecôte' sign outside and offered customers a no-choice menu of French bistrot favourites: a salad starter followed by steak frites.
Whereas most restaurants served steak frites with herbed butter, he served it instead with a secret recipe sauce containing various herbs, spices and condiments. It was only at the end of the meal that customers were presented with a choice for the desserts and cheeses.
Despite offering just a single main dish and a limited selection of wines, the restaurant flourished. It became a Parisian institution with customers ignoring the name and typically referring to it as 'L'Entrecôte Porte-Maillot', or just 'L' Entrecôte'. Eventually, the restaurant's name was changed to Le Relais de Venise – L'Entrecôte.
New openings
Today, the business is run By Madame Hélène Godillot, daughter of M de Saurs and guardian of the secret recipe for the steak sauce. Mme Godillot oversees new openings to ensure all aspects of this unique dining experience created by her father are faithfully maintained: from the colourful paintings of Venetian scenes that adorn the walls to the waitresses' much talked about uniforms and even down to the precise width of the hand made frites.
As well as the Parisian original, branches of Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecôte can be found in London and Manhattan

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- As the temperatures start to dip, people are starting to find ways to keep warm.
"This time of the year people are using space heaters a lot," said Lt. Neal Brown with the Richmond County Fire Department.
They seem harmless, but if they aren't used properly, they can quickly lead to a house fire.
"People leave them too close to draperies, bed spreads, furniture, stuff like that. Anything that will burn," Brown said.
Just this past weekend, an elderly man was killed in a house fire on Apricot Lane.
"That was caused by a space heater and a blanket," Brown said.
Fire investigators say the man was sitting too close to his space heater, and his blanket caught fire.
Robert Lewis tried to save the man.
"It was pretty bad. I think he had oxygen in there too, so that blew up, and then the cars blew up, I guess," Lewis said.
Brown says they had several cases like this one last winter, but he says this can easily be prevented.
"If you're not using that heater when you walk off, please turn it off, or better yet, unplug it from the wall," he said.
He says to make sure the heater is always at least 3 feet away from anything that could catch on fire and to make sure not to overload the outlet.
"Try to put it on a separate breaker if you're going to use one," he said.
He also says it may be a good time to invest in a new heater.
"The ones built today are designed and built if they are turned over or tipped over they will turn off," he said.

Not the spot
for a nap
Loud snoring noises recently led an Eagle Police officer who was on foot patrol to find an apparently intoxicated man sleeping under a picnic table.
The man was found at around midnight at a pocket park located next to a residential area.
The officer said it took about a minute to wake up the man and that he had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and unsteady balance. The officer said the man also had difficulty figuring out how to get out from under the table.
When the officer attempted to find out where the man lived and if he had any friends nearby, he replied with unintelligible responses and profane insults.
The officer learned that earlier in the evening, another Eagle officer had contacted the man and his two companions because they were intoxicated and vomiting in a parking lot.
Police were able to contact a sober person to take responsibility for the man and no charges were filed.
Dumb drug deal
Eagle Police were contacted July 22 on a report that someone was trying to sell drugs at the Eagle Rest Area site.
The caller asked to remain anonymous, but noted that a man just tried to sell him some marijuana.
When the officer arrived on the scene, she did not see the suspect vehicle, but noticed another car occupied by a white male. The license plate for the vehicle matched the one reported for the suspect.
The officer noted that when the driver of the suspect vehicle saw her patrol car, he "made furtive movements and quickly started his vehicle and attempted to drive away." She pulled him over.
A strong marijuana odor emanated from the vehicle and the officer explained why she had pulled over the driver. The man said he had come into contact with another man at the rest area bathroom. He said the other man appeared to be in pain and so he offered him some marijuana. The suspect said he knew his actions were wrong, but he felt sorry for the other man. He denied trying to sell drugs.
The officer asked the suspect to hand over his marijuana and he produced about 5 ounces. He also produced his driver's license and his medical marijuana card. He claimed to have gotten the marijuana from a dispensary in Glenwood, but then admitted he grew the marijuana himself. The officer noted the suspect was "very nervous, sweating and shaking."
When the officer asked why the man was so nervous, he said he had been in trouble in the past and was trying to stay clean and do the right thing.
The officer educated the man about the rules of possessing and distributing a controlled substance and then gave him back his marijuana and his medical marijuana card. No charges were filed.
Hot dog
Eagle Police were called to a local fast food restaurant parking lot on a report of animal cruelty on July 23.
The reporting party said someone had left a dog inside a vehicle while he went inside the restaurant and that the temperature outside was 93 degrees. She said when she attempted to contact the animal's owner, he told her to mind her own business and "chased" her away.
When the officer arrived in the parking area, he found the suspect vehicle and two people standing outside. The man said he was waiting for police to arrive because a woman had just threatened to call them.
The man said when he and his female companion arrived at the restaurant, they rolled down the van windows and when inside to order food and get some ice for their dog. After placing their order and while the woman was getting the ice, another woman came inside and yelled for the owner of the van. When he identified himself, the man said the woman yelled at him, saying leaving the animal in the car was illegal. He said he told the woman to mind her own business and that nobody loved the dog like he does.
He said when the woman left, he followed her outside to finish their conversation and explain the situation. He said she got in her car and told him she was calling the police.
The officer noted all of the van's windows were partially open and the windshield was covered with a sun visor. The dog had ice in his water bowl and the temperature inside the van was not warmer that the outside temperature. The owner brought the dog out of the vehicle and the officer reported the animal appeared to be healthy and happy with its owners.
The officer shared information about the dangers of leaving a pet inside a vehicle when it is hot and recommended different options to avoid problems in the future. No charges were filed.

Savile scandal is all too familiar, sadly
Doesn't that count for anything?
Good old Jimmy Savile, the Soupy Sales of the BBC, was such an icon, such a do-gooder, such a lovable old cut-up, no one would believe the man could be anything but misunderstood.
If you haven't followed the scandal of Jimmy Savile, one of British broadcasting's most beloved celebrities, it really doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because the story of Savile, a serial child sexual predator, is a story we have all heard before. It is the story of the idol, the icon, the institution so revered that nobody would believe he was capable of such deplorable shenanigans. Only the names and the wardrobe changes. Name your fiend: He's sporting a Roman collar or a football polo or a Boy Scout uniform. He's known for his good deeds and charitable missions. He makes a difference in so many lives.
And, if his private behavior seems a little, well, fishy, squelch those filthy thoughts. Even if your worst suspicions were true, nobody would buy it. In fact, what would they think of you, you dirty-minded cynic.
The real story of the late Savile, one of Britain's most popular television hosts, is still unraveling. And as it unfolds, it is taking a course that is as familiar as it is lurid. Because once you get beyond the dissolute details — the children he molested, the places he molested them, the years he got away with it — the list of those incriminated by his sins grows longer, the stench of the cover-up more foul. And in that respect, the story of Jimmy Savile is less an anomaly than a pattern, less a scandal than a scourge. Maybe celebrity protected Jimmy Savile. Or maybe it was simply collective revulsion.
Whatever it was, the collateral damage of the scandal has spread from former BBC bosses, to Britain's police force, to the New York Times. The former director general of the BBC, Mark Thompson, is scheduled to become the chief executive of the New York Times tomorrow.
Critics say Thompson either knew about or was involved in the network's decision to squelch a reporting project on accusations of child sexual abuse against Savile scheduled to air months after the entertainer's Oct 2011 death. Thompson denies the allegations.
So did Savile, who for years was the Captain Kangaroo of Britain. In shows like "Jimmy'll Fix It," which enchanted millions from the 1970s to the 1990s, Savile cultivated the image of a Peter Pan-like hero, a man who never really grew up and always was able to fulfill your dreams — flying an airplane, working in a zoo.
So rife were the rumors of Savile's predilections for little girls, that in the 1970s, his boss confronted the popular children's host about them. Savile responded "That's all nonsense," and Derek Chinnery, Radio 1 controller from 1976-85, said "there was no reason to disbelieve" Savile.
As one British police officer told The New York Times, "Really, it came down to this: do we really want to take on this man, Saint Jimmy, who does all of this fund-raising and knows all of these people?"
Within months of his death, women began coming forward, reporting that Savile had abused them in the very places that made him a star — not just his television studio, but the charity establishments for which he raised money — children's hospitals, homes for emotionally abused children, a hospitals for spinal cord injury victims where Savile was such a fundraising fixture that the hospital gave him his own room.
Consider all the good Jerry Sandusky did with those poor, destitute kids in his Second Mile charity. Consider what Ernest Boland, a Rotarian and full colonel in the Army Reserve, did with his little Scouts for the 25 years he was a Boy Scout leader. Consider all the decent acts the Rev. John Geoghan did in his decades-long priesthood.
Is it possible it was all just a facade, a ruse to facilitate access to the vulnerable?
Or is it possible that there was a soupcon of empathy in these men, along with a whopping dose of iniquity?
Is it possible that evil and decency live side-by-side and that a little bit of one does not obscure a larger portion of the other?
What makes us disinclined to give voice to our suspicions and to recoil at the insinuation of unspeakable behavior because it is unspeakable? Is it celebrity? Fear? Or is it our own incapacity to see that no one is as irreproachable as his finest hour, nor as irreparable as their worst sin?

On a frigid, soggy, post-holiday Saturday night, few souls are venturing out in search of entertainment. But in a cozy concert venue just off Los Gatos Boulevard, it's standing room only.
An audience of roughly 80 sits rapt as guitarist Nina Gerber, whose collaborations with late folksinger/songwriter Kate Wolf rank among the most popular segments on PBS' Austin City Limits, accompanies vocalist Chris Webster. With Gerber's powerful, soulful chords providing counterpoint to Webster's ballads, folk and jazz tunes, it's a bravura performance that music purists would expect to find at Mountain Winery or Montalvo--minus the wine and ticket price.
Here at The Woodshed, the performance space that now backs Keith Holland Guitars, the caliber of artistry is high, the entry fee low, the attitude nonexistent. It's a winning combination for Holland, a journeyman performer, builder and repairer of custom guitars, teacher, mentor and coach. To that résumè can now be added "music presenter"--a role in which Holland is quickly finding success.
Reflecting on his new career trajectory, Holland's enthusiasm bubbles over. Beneath his signature newsboy cap topping a tumble of salt-and-pepper curls, Holland's sparkly grin stretches from ear to earring.
"This is so cool!" he exclaims, gesturing at the capacity crowd. "I get to do this every week." Then, noting that the venue's concert schedule is already booked well into May, Holland adds, "I can't wait for Saturday nights to roll around."
For Holland, Saturdays have been rolling (and rocking) for more than three decades. A native of Tulsa, Okla., Holland became a Bay Area transplant at the age of 7. In his earliest dreams he envisioned life as a cowboy; by middle school he yearned for little else except an electric guitar and the chance to mimic the licks of Hendrix, Clapton and Van Halen.
After graduation from San Jose State University, Holland embarked on a full-time career as a musician, supplementing his income by giving lessons at Guitar Showcase and other locales. But from the start, he had difficulties finding professionals who could adjust or modify his instruments to his liking.
While reading a trade magazine in the late 1970s, Holland (by then a resident of Los Gatos) came across an article detailing Eddie Van Halen's penchant for assembling random guitar components into new, one-of-a-kind instruments. By the end of the story, Holland was inspired to build his very first "parts guitar." Its construction process would be a seminal moment in his life.
In 1981 Holland landed a job at Torres Guitars on Big Basin Way in Saratoga.
"I'd always been involved in music, but when I got into building guitars and repairs, that took me into an entirely different direction," Holland notes.
Thirteen years later he hung out his own shingle as Keith Holland Guitars and Guitar Hospital. Initially setting up shop on Village Lane in Los Gatos, Holland later moved his sales, construction and repair operations to their present home on Roberts Road.
Almost since his doors first opened, Holland's storefront has served as ground zero for professional and aspiring musicians seeking advice about new instruments and instruction. On any given day the aisles are also crowded with music educators, students and adults with no greater goal than to strum for a bit and shoot the breeze with Holland and his staff of five, all accomplished musicians in their own right.
Such a warm, laid-back environment strikes precisely the right note with Holland's customers--and mirrors his personal style. Year-round, Holland offers workshops, class series and clubs, all aimed at drawing together like-minded artisans who want to share a little music and a big sense of belonging.
Describing the ukulele club that meets the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month, Holland says, "We try to make it really easy for people to come together and play. The ukulele's a very simple, unintimidating instrument to pick up. And where a music lesson someplace might cost you $40 for a half hour, and you're playing by yourself, here you can throw 10 bucks on the table if you feel like it--or nothing, if you don't have it--and you can do something really easy and fun, and meet a bunch of new people."
In addition to the uke-strummers, Holland and his staff host monthly meetings (and "slow jams") for acoustic guitarists, and Monday evening clinics for middle school and high school rockers. The latter sessions assist younger musicians in forming bands, choosing appropriate material, learning to balance vocal and instrumental levels, and playing together as an ensemble.
Just around the corner from Holland's store, music instructor (and Santa Cruz Jazz Society director) Michael Carder teaches an elective "rock band" class at R. J. Fisher Middle School. Twice weekly at 6:30 a.m., Carder coaches a class of 18 students in the finer points of tuning up and rocking out. He says Keith Holland Guitars has become an integral part of his curriculum.
"Every year Keith gives my young rockers presentations on the craft and art of how guitars are built," says Carder. "I send Fisher rock band guitarists to Keith Holland Guitars to have their guitars set up, restrung or repaired, or to buy one of his custom guitars. I'm also encouraging Fisher's rock guitarists to attend the new acoustic guitar jam on Tuesday nights, and to take advantage of the piano lessons taught by jazz pianist Anthony Steinberg."
Holland, who when not involved in music is also a professional soccer coach, says the connection with Fisher--and the genesis of many his classes and clubs--came about after observing a student in his shop day after day.
"This kid would come in every afternoon after school, and I'd hand him a guitar and he'd play through an amp for an hour or so. I finally asked him if he was in a band. He said no, he couldn't play in his garage because his dad needed to park the car there, and his neighbors complained if he played too loudly in the house. I thought, 'I really need to figure out a way to connect with kids like that; to help them out and give them a chance to get together and play,' " Holland recalls.
Fast forward to 2012, when the owners of the workout studio at the rear of Holland's shop left for larger quarters. In the vacant space Holland saw the potential to bring larger groups of musicians together to hone their craft--and then to showcase their talents in an authentic performance setting.
Holland and his crew set about transforming the former studio into a venue that would double as classroom and concert venue. Double-thick walls and windows now encase the entire 4,000-square-foot property, effectively preventing all but the occasional thump of percussion lessons from seeping into the retail area, let alone the surrounding neighborhood.
During the construction phase, Holland found eager assistance from many current and former customers. The fact that Holland's customers quickly become friends substantially contained the project's construction costs.
"Dave Allender, who is a contractor and a musician, built the stage for us. Then I called Rick Oderio, who owns Conklin Brothers Carpets in San Jose, to get some advice about what kind of carpet to put on the stage. Rick happens to be a guitarist, and he said, 'Come on down here; I'll give you the carpet.' So many people were so incredibly helpful as we were putting the place together," Holland says.
Long before the last nail was hammered into place in November and Holland deemed the new space performance-ready, he had enlisted the aid of Bev Barnett and Greg Newlon to book acts for the weekend concerts. Both veterans of the national folk/acoustic music scene, Barnett and Newlon have several CDs to their credit.
The pair logged many years scouting and hiring talent for the former Espresso Garden and Café on Meridian Avenue in San Jose. When that venue closed its doors in 2006, the couple began hosting house concerts for folk luminaries at their Campbell home. Barnett also served as a member of the board of directors of the Western Regional Folk Alliance, which fosters professionalism among acoustic and folk musicians.
Holland had connected with the pair through legendary South Bay singer/songwriter Chuck McCabe. A key force in the formation of Strumming for Vets, a nonprofit that helps heal veterans' psychic wounds through music therapy, McCabe enjoyed widespread acclaim as a folk troubadour.
Before his death in 2010 from pancreatic cancer, McCabe founded indie record label Woodshed Productions. In McCabe's honor, the new Los Gatos performance space is now known as The Woodshed at Keith Holland Guitars.
McCabe would doubtless be thrilled with the lineup scheduled at the venue this year: Folk and acoustic acts dominate the calendar, rounded out with jazz, blues, bluegrass and even Celtic performers. KFOG regulars The Pam & Jeri Show headlined Jan. 12, while "high-octane Americana quintet" Houston Jones is slated to perform on Feb. 2. On Jan. 19, Steve Seskin, Craig Carothers and Don Henry (who, among them, boast multiple Grammy Awards and gold records for tunes penned for the likes of Trisha Yearwood and Kathy Mattea) will cap a daylong songwriting workshop by showcasing their own performance skills at a "concert in the round."
While audiences will consistently find high-quality musicianship at The Woodshed, they won't find the normal nightclub trappings. On the tables just outside of the venue, coffee, water and cookies are the only refreshments offered. What's more, all concerts end at approximately 10 p.m. Barnett says the decision to deliver such family-friendly fare was deliberate.
"People can go to the Grand Dell on Thursday nights and have a beer and listen to blues, and they can go to Mountain Charley's and drink and hear rock music, and that's great," Barnett says. "We wanted to create a place where parents could bring their kids and enjoy music together, or parents could feel good if their kids want to come to a concert here. We'll promote all of the other venues, and we hope they'll promote us."
Despite his new vocation as music mogul, Holland still manages to find time for his first love: pulling on his luthier (builder of stringed instruments) cap and constructing custom electric guitars for discerning artists. What sets Holland's creations apart is his facility with aging the instruments, so that they look (and, more importantly, sound) like well-worn favorites.
"There's a tone, a whole different vibe you get when you play an older guitar," Holland muses. "When you get a new guitar, it has a couple of coats of color, and then probably 10 coats of lacquer. I chemically freeze the lacquer so that it cracks; this allows the wood to open up and vibrate, and lets the sound move around. So what you get is a louder, more woody-sounding guitar, which is what most people want."
It's no secret that the craftsman has discovered this secret: In his 35 years in music, Holland has never failed to give people exactly what they want.
Keith Holland Guitars and Guitar Hospital is located at 16905 Roberts Road, Los Gatos. For more information about instrument sales and classes, and concert dates at The Woodshed at Keith Holland Guitars, visit khguitars.com, or call 408.395.0767.

I have two Grace internet radios. A Solo and an Allegro. I have been able to get them both to work. But....
While physically different they both return the same indentifying information.
"Possible identifying HTTP headers: User-Agent: Reciva UPnP/1.0 Radio/1.0 DLNADOC/1.50"
So they both can use the same renderer .conf file but I'd like to use different ones with different images of the radios.
I've figured out how to add the .png files to the pms.jar file.
My question: Is there some setting I've missed that would force a renderer at a specific IP address to use a specific render.conf file?
Next. Currently my status screen only shows one Icon/Image/png even though there are two different devices and I can use them both at the same time.
Is that normal for PMS/1.81.0?
And finally on some status screen examples I've seen on the internet, the IP addresses of the devices are shown in addition to the name and image. Is that still possible or was that only in older versions of PMS? TIA

Discussion on an ordinance amending a city charter article providing for referral of Ordinances of Detachment of Territory under specific circumstances to a vote of the people and reimbursement for public improvements is expected at the Monday night Shawnee City Commission meeting.
The commission will consider and possibly take action on the item. In connection with that issue, commissioners may take action on a resolution calling for a special November election for a vote on whether the amending ordinance should be approved.
Another resolution that may garner action encourages and requests the Pottawatomie County Commissioners to place before the voters a ballot title permitting the Sunday sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants in the county.
An item calling for possible action regarding reduction of the statutory minimum liability limits on some city-owned property returns to the floor after being tabled at the June 16 meeting. The item previously produced lively discussion.
An additional returning item is the opening of bids for the rehab concrete streets project. Staff is expected to recommend the contract be awarded to S&J Construction Specialists in the amount of $466,725.
The agenda also calls for the consideration of executive sessions for several items. The first entails discussion of potential claims, litigation or other options regarding Nash Construction v. City of Shawnee. Other executive session items involve discussion regarding performance evaluations and employment contracts of the city manager, city attorney and municipal judge.
The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. in the Commission Chambers at City Hall.

Health care officials say there is a long list of benefits to breast-feeding, not the least of which is protecting the newborn.
"All of the mother's antibodies that she has pass on to the baby through the breast milk," said Lisa Primeaux, board-certified lactation consultant for Rush Hospital.
Rush is the only Meridian hospital to have them on staff. Primeaux says the breast milk improves the baby's brain function and its chances to be healthy, even diminishing the risk of some diseases later in life.
"Little girls, the longer they are breast-fed have lower chances of ovarian cancer and breast cancer," Primeaux said. "The mother, too. But they've just discovered or found out that that helps the baby girl."
And Primeaux says the longer a baby is breast-fed, the healthier it will be.
"The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a mom breast-feed for at least six months, exclusively, and then as they add food, they're still breastfeeding, but for a year," said Primeaux. "And then they say you can, it depends on mom and baby how much longer after that, because some babies nurse longer than a year."
Primeaux says she's available to answer questions for mothers even after they're discharged from the hospital, and return to the workplace.
She says it requires a lot of effort and planning for mothers who work outside the home, but pumps make it possible for the baby to have that vital nourishment for a longer period of time.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The A's won another game without their spark plug Sunday, beating Texas 9-3 with Coco Crisp not only not on the bench but also not in the building.
He was flying back to the Bay Area to get his troublesome neck checked out. It's been a problem for about six weeks, and for much of that he'd been able to make do. From May 27-July 8 he had raised his batting average 56 points to .295.
But he came out of the lineup on July 10, and after a four-game rest at the All-Star break was added to the four games he missed before the break, he was back. He wasn't playing at the level at which he's accustomed, and the neck pain came back to complicate things.
The A's don't want to think in terms of having him go on the disabled list, but they'd rather walk that path than not have him available come October.
"He means a lot to this team in the clubhouse and on the field,'' winning pitcher Scott Kazmir said of Crisp. "He's been arguably our most consistent guy over the past how many months. To have him out ... we know that something has been bothering him for a while. The way he has battled through it has been awesome.
"Hopefully this is just a small setback and he's back with us soon.''
Kazmir did his part Sunday, picking up his 12th win in the hottest weather he's pitched in this season. The heat sapped him to the point he only lasted five innings, but Oakland's lead was 8-2 as he'd thrown his last pitch, so the outcome wasn't in much doubt.
Much of the punch behind the offense came from the man who has been replacing Crisp in the leadoff spot against right-handed starting pitching, catcher John Jaso. It was his single that was the first of three consecutive hits that produced a five-run second inning. He added a two-run double to cap a three-run fifth.
With three RBIs, Jaso has driven in 13 runs in his last 15 games, many of them spelling Crisp. Jaso has been the A's leadoff man eight times in 22 July games. He's hit safely in all eight, going 11 for 29 (.379) with four doubles and a triple. He's not the base stealing threat Crisp is, but he's not leaving the leadoff spot vacant.
"It goes to show the type of versatility as a hitter he has,'' fellow catcher Stephen Vogt. "He's been huge, because we feed off Coco so much. We hope he's back soon.''
Nobody wants Crisp back more than Jaso, a left-handed hitter who drops conveniently into the No. 2 slot in the order when he and Crisp are both in the lineup.
"It's a big loss if he's out awhile,'' Jaso said of Crisp. "He's been struggling a little lately, but before that I saw he was hitting .240, then I looked again and he was hitting .290. We just don't want to be in the spot where we lose him in the postseason.''
Manager Bob Melvin said Crisp was sent back to the Bay Area to have some continuity with the doctors who have been treating the problem.
"It's just lingering. It's something that has been bothering him the last couple of days,'' Melvin said of Crisp. "We felt like we'd been getting over the hurdle a little bit, then the last couple of nights not so much.
"It's bothering him enough that we need to have it looked at again, and we want to be consistent with the same doctors as we deal with it.''
With the A's due to face left-handed pitching twice in the three-game series in Houston, it's likely Craig Gentry, who bats right-handed, will be in the leadoff spot and in center field for Crisp in those two games, although Gentry has some minor discomfort in his right hand.
"The way that Coco has battled through this has been awesome,'' Kazmir said. "Hopefully this is just a small setback and he's back with us soon.''

To ensure a carefree beach holiday, make sure you pack the essentials. Protect yourself from the sun's harsh rays with a wide-brim hat, frequently applied waterproof sunscreen and sun-protective clothing. A swimsuit cover-up or wrap gives you the freedom to saunter from pool or beach, back to the room and through town without offending the locals. Bringing your own beach towel is also a good idea, since the ones provided by your hotel are usually smaller than desired. To complete your beach ensemble, don't forget a good pair of sunglasses, an umbrella for both rain and sun, and a roomy tote to carry all of the above.

About the Book
"A poignant, nostalgic collection of literary criticism by one of America's premier authors."
—Kirkus Reviews<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
In Rough Country is a sterling collection of essays, reviews, and criticism from Joyce Carol Oates that focuses on a wide array of books and writers—from Poe to Nabokov, from Flannery O'Connor to Phillip Roth. One of our foremost novelists, National Book Award and PEN/Malamud Award winner Oates demonstrates an unparalleled understanding and appreciation of great works of literature with In Rough Country, and offers unique and breathtaking insights into the writer's art.
In twenty-nine provocative essays, Joyce Carol Oates maps the "rough country" that is both the treacherous geographical and psychological terrain of the writers she so cogently analyzes—Flannery O'Connor, Cormac McCarthy, Philip Roth, E. L. Doctorow, and Margaret Atwood, among others—and the emotional terrain of Oates's own life following the unexpected death of her husband, Raymond Smith, after forty-eight years of marriage.
"As literature is a traditional solace to the bereft, so writing about literature can be a solace, as it was to me when the effort of writing fiction seemed beyond me, as if belonging to another lifetime," Oates writes. "Reading and taking notes, especially late at night when I can't sleep, has been the solace, for me, that saying the Rosary or reading The Book of Common Prayer might be for another." The results of those meditations are the essays of In Rough Country—balanced and illuminating investigations that demonstrate an artist working at the top of her form.

Critical Praise
"Oates writes like a woman who walks into rough country and doesn't look back...long sentences unfold with great beauty, and [Oates's] line of argument follows not an artificial arc but the natural course of thought." — New York Times Book Review

Ting'a Ting'a
Ting'aTing'a is the swahili word for Tunnel. It also doubles for the word tractor or bulldozer that pushes progress forward through building such tunnels, bringing useful and necessary recourses to regions that were considered before hard to reach.
As part of its Ting'aTing'a initiative, AFRINIC will provide free tunnel broker services to organizations in the parts of the African region that are interested in testing and experimenting with IPv6.
There are already free Tunnel services available in places; however, these are usually situated in areas of the Internet that are not geographically close to Africa. Connecting to a Tunnel broker service that is, for example, in the UK, will mean that participants often lose access to quicker/shorter paths that may be available to them through local peering points. By acting as a local tunnel facilitator, AfriNIC aims to solve this, by keeping IPv6 peering local, improving performance and helping to kick start IPv6 usage.
The end-sites subscribing to the Tunnel Broker will subscribe for a "Testing Phase" connection, meaning the connection will be established for a certain period of time only whereby if the subscriber exceeds a certain predefined limit of bandwidth (2MBs), the Tunnel Broker will automatically notify them via email informing him that they have passed the "Testing Phase" limit and that they are encourage to move into production mode.
A list of the nearest IPv6 capable LIRs/ISPs participating in the Tunnel initiative will be sent to the subscriber so that they could continue getting their IPv6 connectivity from whomever they see fit for the task on a paid-for basis.

Maine Governor's Task Force Recommends Lots More Wind Energy
February 18, 2008
Maine Governor John Baldacci welcomed recommendations of a task force that the state install up to 3,000 megawatts of wind energy by 2020. The task force also recommends that the state streamline its regulatory review process for wind energy projects. The governor said he would move quickly to implement the recommendations of the report by introducing new legislation in the coming weeks.
Baldacci said he was very comfortable with the targets for wind installations and said they would require billions of dollars of capital investment in the state. "Maine's natural resources are second to none," said the Governor. He reiterated the potential for Maine to become a leader in electric power generation from renewable energy.
Baldacci formed the Governor's Task Force on Wind Power Development by an executive order in 2007. The bipartisan task force consisted of 16 members representing the wind industry, environmental organizations, state agencies, and legislators. The goal of the task force was to lay out a road map on where wind farms should be encouraged and how they should be regulated. Maine leads New England in wind power generation but ranks 24th nationwide, according to the American Wind Energy Association.

This is not another story about an impressive swim across the lake. This is the journey of a 41-year-old man named Jamie Patrick, who set out today to test his limits.
Patrick shoved off at 6 a.m. today to undertake a 68-mile swim along Lake Tahoe's perimeter. He estimates the wetsuit-aided swim will take 40 hours, during which he will not exit the water or touch any support boat. This will be Patrick's third ultra-distance swim and by far his toughest.
The perimeter swim has never been done and novelty is nice, but for Patrick this is about pushing himself to the utter limit of his endurance.
"I've never been the fastest or the best at anything, but when I found out I could swim long and control my heart rate it was exciting for me," Patrick said. "I'm not out on a death wish here, but I do feel like I haven't reached my barrier yet. That's what drives me. I know where I can go. I just don't know how far I can go yet."
Patrick will begin at Commons Beach in Tahoe City and swim clockwise around the Lake. The crew estimates this puts Patrick at Incline Village near noon, South Tahoe after dark, and Emerald Bay about 6 a.m. Saturday. That's if all goes according to plan, but Patrick has completed enough long-distance swims to know this rarely happens.
Just keep swimming
"The thing about doing stuff like this is when you go into a bad place, mentally and physically, having the experience of knowing that you will pop out the other side is what keeps you going."
In 2010, Patrick attempted his first long-distance swim, a double-crossing of Lake Tahoe, totaling 44 miles. Patrick comfortably cruised through the first half, but hit a wall with less than 10 miles to go. He suddenly couldn't keep anything down and began throwing up blood.
Miraculously and perhaps recklessly, Patrick pushed on. He was 20 hours deep at that point and quitting seemed just as bad. Ultimately, Patrick finished his swim and then spent three days in the Tahoe Forest Hospital with failing kidneys.
Doctors told him he didn't get enough protein and his body had started eating its own muscle fiber protein causing clogging in his kidneys.
Despite the ordeal, Patrick didn't quit. Instead, he teamed up with sports nutritionist Stacey Sims, who was Lance Armstrong's nutritionist while he competed in the Tour de France. Together they started planning Patrick's next swim, a 111-mile, current aided swim down the Sacramento River. It took 31 hours to complete the swim, but Patrick faced his fear and came out the other side.
He wanted to try Tahoe again, and he wanted to go longer.
Mind over matter
There's no escaping the mind in a 40-hour swim. With zero visual stimulation, Patrick is left with his thoughts and the swim becomes a mental game.
It starts slowly. First, Patrick must concentrate on setting a slow and steady pace and ignoring the adrenaline rush from the race start. Pulling ahead of the projected pace is just as dangerous as falling behind. Slowly making his way through the first 10 hours feels like an eternity, but it's only just begun, he said.
"There's a period where I've been 10 hours or 12 hours (in) and the realization that I'm less than one-third is really hard mentally. I go through some really dark places."
Doubt inevitably creeps in during a 40-hour swim and Patrick is all too familiar with facing the foe under water. Questions pop into the recesses of his mind. Is he tired too soon? How will he get through it?
"Will it not be my day? Some days you go for a run and you're an Olympic runner and some days you just don't have it," Patrick said. "Hopefully Friday's my day, but I just can't control that."
The first 24 hours are tough. When Patrick hits the 24th hour he'll be close to his longest swim in the lake, which was just over 25 hours.
"Not many people have swam a full day before, so it's just one of those milestones," Patrick said. "There are two kinds of celebrations: You made it through 24 hours, and every time the sun goes down and the sun comes up it lifts your spirits."
After 24 hours in the water, the sun will start to rise and Patrick should be more than halfway there as he makes his way through Emerald Bay.
Fish out of water
"I find peace in the water. You have people who carry fishing poles in their car just in case they see somewhere to fish. I carry swim trunks and goggles in my car. If I see a place, I'm in the water."
Patrick is at home in the water, but he's also complied an impressive athletic resume on land as well. He has completed 15 Ironman triathlons, a Triple Ironman and three Ultraman World Championships, a race that circumnavigates the island of Hawaii in three days.
Patrick's list of athletic accomplishments is long, but the Tahoe perimeter swim is by far his toughest endeavor he said. There's no bike to coast on when he's tired, no walk to break the run. It's just Patrick and the water.
"You can't really prepare for something like this. It's 40 hours of getting from one place to the other with no assistance but yourself."
Other than food and drink handoffs, Patrick will receive no assistance from the crew of 16 accompanying him on a pontoon and two kayaks. The team will also pick up trash along the way and help Patrick stick to his 40-hour pace.
"If we push longer than 40 hours he's going to go into a second night. He knows in advance that a second night of swimming is really tough for him to actually do," crewmember Mark Lukach said.
Lukach is fully confident that Patrick will complete the Tahoe 360 and just as sure that Patrick will start planning another big swim as soon as he does.
"My wife always asks me 'What are you going to do next?' It scares her a bit I think," Patrick said. "Well, I don't know, but I'll have a lot of time to think about it Friday."

"The 86th Academy Awards" (5:30 p.m. PT, 8:30 p.m. ET, ABC): Don't expect any songs about female breasts as Ellen DeGeneres returns to host Hollywood's big bash. She's sure to be more of a soothing presence than last year's naughty-minded emcee, Seth MacFarlane. As for the competition, "Gravity," "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle" are the leading contenders in a tight Best Picture race. Our hope? To make it through the night without any gasbag acceptance speeches by production-design types and sound-mixing guys.
"True Detective" (9 p.m., HBO): If you haven't been watching, you're missing some astonishing television. The eight-part crime drama nears its conclusion as Hart and Cohle (Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey) call a truce to investigate new leads in the troubling case they worked years ago.
"The Walking Dead" (9 p.m., AMC): In another one of those episodes that zeros in on just a couple of characters, Daryl and Beth (Norman Reedus and Emily Kinney) are going at it like an old, grumpy married couple. Maybe a few rounds of moonshine will help smooth out their differences. (For a recap of the show, go to www.mercurynews.com/tv after the episode.)

New Hampshire WaterFalls are abundant in Crawford Notch and Bartlett NH. The trail-head to Arethusa WaterFalls is just 6 miles
from the Bartlett Inn. We enjoyed a 2.5 hour hike to the falls with the kids, dog and adults too! Hiking to WaterFalls is a fun thing to do with Children in the White Mountains. The rain from the night before and the sprinkle of the morning added to the flow of the falls! We often tell guests who feel put off by the weather that there is a bright side to a rainy day: It makes the Waterfalls flow very big! So if you have the right equipment…waterproof hiking boots and jacket and non cotton pants and it is not too cold out you will not melt in the rain and will get to see the New Hampshire Waterfalls at their best! We recommend the Bemis Brook Trail for the first part of the hike so you can enjoy the granite slabs with steps and cascading waterfalls along the way. The climb back to the Arethusa Trail is steep and slippery so be sure to hold onto firm roots and and rocks. It is only about 200 meters and then you rejoin the main trail. Kids love the boardwalks and the cool breeze and mist coming off the falls too! We ate lunch at the bottom of the falls and the sun came out to warm us! We took the Arethusa trail back and it returned much quicker then on the climb up. We saw a huge toad, a little peeper frog, garter snake, chipmunks and squirrels too. Stay at the kid friendly Bartlett Inn near StoryLand NH and enjoy natures own amusement park. we will give you ideas for Family Friendly Hikes in New Hampshire and other fun things to do with kids near North Conway! 1 800 292 2353

One year after taking an undefeated record all the way to the Central Coast Section playoffs, the Archbishop Mitty girls soccer team was expected to slip a step back this season.
And for a while, it seemed as if that would be the case.
But then last week came and ended with the Monarchs back in a familiar perch: They sat atop the West Catholic Athletic League standings -- tied in points with Valley Christian, which began the week unbeaten and not scored upon, and ahead of St. Francis, which features reigning Mercury News player of the year and North Carolina-bound Annie Kingman.
"We felt like this was going to be big week to see where we were at," coach J.T. Hanley said Monday.
Mitty found out that its young squad, battle tested from a tough nonleague schedule, was ready for the WCAL challenge. The Monarchs handed Valley Christian its first loss, 3-2. Two days later, they edged St. Francis 2-1. And two days after that, they topped Notre Dame-Belmont 2-1. In the span of five days. Mitty had three huge wins.
"We had to dig down deep in all three games," Hanley said. "Now they believe."
"Jolene (Fugate) has arguably the best team she's had," Hanley said of the Valley Christian coach. "They're deep, and they're experienced. They're on an amazing run, and they played great in that game. It could have gone either way."
But with the score 2-2, Mitty kept attacking. When it was over, Mitty's senior captain, Danielle "Missy" Sanchez, had a message for her teammates: Appreciate the win, but let's not get too full of ourselves. It was one game, one day, against one team.
"Just because you get one win, it doesn't mean anything," Sanchez said this week. "You still have the rest of the season to play. Yes, it was a great win. But that's just one game. You've got to move on to the next one."
To follow up the victory with one against St. Francis was about the team believing in itself.
Mitty has a roster filled with freshmen and sophomores, as well as juniors promoted from the junior varsity.
"People have doubted us a lot this year because we're a younger team," said Sanchez, a four-year varsity player. "But I don't think that means anything by any standards. We're a great team even though we're young. Our younger girls are going awesome this year."
"We were pretty ecstatic," Kirchick said. "It just felt really good because their record was so high up there and to be the first ones to score on them and to be the first ones to ever beat them, we felt so good."
Girls basketball
Wilcox, the area's top public school girls basketball team, plays host to a Lynbrook squad Friday night that will be trying to stay in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division race.
Led by an experienced cast of starters, Wilcox has won nine of its past 10 games and is unbeaten in De Anza play. Lynbrook had won five in a row before losing at Gunn 37-33 on Friday.
That loss took a little shine off the matchup this week, but Wilcox coach Kevin White still expects a challenge.
"Lynbrook has kind of become a rival over the last year," White said. "It's always fun playing Lynbrook because they're a very good team, they're very well coached and our girls get excited. As far as being prepared, I think our girls are ready."
"It's awesome," White said. "Some of the coaches will get together, and we'll talk about our league. We take a lot of pride in our league. Everybody looks up, obviously, to the WCAL and rightfully so because they're a very strong and powerful league. But it's nice to have a public school league that can compete with them."

OAKLAND -- And to think, if you believe Warriors coach Mark Jackson, Klay Thompson was close to being a reserve.
The sidekick in the Splash Brothers duo turned out to be the best player on the court Wednesday night. His career-high 38 points highlighted Golden State's 125-94 embarrassment of the Los Angeles Lakers, who played without Steve Nash.
"It felt great," Thompson said. "That's what we live for. It's crazy. I never imagined I'd have 38 points in three quarters. But, you know what, you can surprise yourself sometimes."
The Thompson-led onslaught was the largest margin of victory on opening night in Warriors history.
Golden State never trailed, leading by as much as 35 points. The game was so one-sided, it was hard to discern whether Golden State is that good or the Kobe Bryant-less Lakers are that bad.
The Warriors are expected to get a much more stern test Thursday night. They conclude their first back-to-back set at the Los Angeles Clippers, who are no doubt still smarting from the shocking loss the Lakers handed them Tuesday.
"It's going to be a battle," point guard Stephen Curry said. "They won the division last year, so we're trying to get to where they are. We understand they didn't play as well as some people probably expected for their first game. And your home opener is a big deal, so they'll want to protect their home court. So it's a big task for us."
Thompson and the Warriors defense were so good, the team didn't need much from Curry. He finished with 10 points and six assists in 24 minutes. Curry, along with the rest of the starters, sat the entire fourth quarter.
Led by the swarming presence of newcomer Andre Iguodala and the rim presence of center Andrew Bogut, the Warriors shut down Los Angeles.
The Lakers looked frustrated and confused. Through three quarters, they managed just 63 points on 32 percent shooting with 14 turnovers.
"We've been caged, forced to feed on each other," Jermaine O'Neal said after registering two of Golden State's nine blocks. "So it was good to go after another team. ... What you saw (Wednesday) was what we see in practice. It's very difficult to score in practice."
Golden State, which led by 19 at the half, was up 69-52 with just under nine minutes left in the third quarter. But a 19-6 run turned the game into a laugher.
Curry capped a spurt of seven straight points with a 3-pointer. Minutes later, his drive-and-dish set up a wide-open Iguodala 3-pointer. The Warriors led 81-56 with 5:26 left.
After Lakers guard Jodie Meeks missed a driving layup, Iguodala took off the other way, a teammate running on either side of him. He zipped an around-the-back pass to David Lee (24 points) on the left. Lee sent a touch pass back to Iguodala for an easy layup.
The frenetic Oracle Arena fans responded with a rousing ovation. But it felt deeper than a response to a nifty fast break. It felt more like a resounding nod to the acquisition of Iguodala. A thank you for showboating against a rival that has for years has broken their heart. A reaction to an epiphany that their team might be legit after all.
Fittingly, Thompson provided the finishing touches.
He drove for a finger roll at the 3:09 mark, putting the Warriors up 32. The next two possessions, he sealed with step-back jumpers over the smaller Lakers guards, with the ease of big brother over his puny sibling.
By the time Thompson checked out, Golden State's lead was up to 96-62, and he received his own ovation.
"I don' think enough credit is given to him for being a heck of a basketball player," Jackson said. "Not only did he shoot the lights out, but he defended. Our overall defense was awfully impressive. ... We did the job we are supposed to do."
Getting garbage time in the fourth quarter, Kuzmic -- the 7-footer out of Serbia -- got the bench to erupt with a layup.
Nedovic, a guard taken with the No. 30 overall draft pick, airballed his one attempt, a long 3-pointer from the top.

Steel Cut Oatmeal Muffins
For my age group, the daily recommended intake of fiber is somewhere in the vicinity of 25 grams. I try to reach that amount every day, but I'll admit it takes some serious menu planning. Oatmeal is an excellent source of fiber, and steel cut oats add an additional health benefit in that they carry a lower glycemic value than regular rolled oats. The nutritional value between the two is approximate, but their insulin reaction times are different, thus my blood sugar remains more stable with the steel cut oats.
Sooo... yesterday morning I made this HUGE batch of steel cut oatmeal. I had a canister that I knew had been around for many months and I thought it time to use it up. I chopped up some apples and threw them in the mix, and rounded out the recipe with some Splenda, cinnamon and maple extract. The result was a very tasty bowl of oatmeal indeed, but when I went to do the cleanup, I was left with at least two more servings in the pan. Waste not, want not (thanks Mom,) so I came up with this recipe for muffins. They're very moist, and they taste just like those packets of Maple Brown Sugar Quaker Instant Oatmeal I used to eat as a kid.
Steel Cut Oatmeal Muffins
1/2 cup steel cut oats
3 cups water
pinch of salt
2 apples, peeled, cored, diced
Bring water to boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in oats and apple pieces. Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Spray 12 count muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup egg substitute (Egg Beaters)
1 tsp maple extract
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 cup Splenda
1/3 cup Splenda brown sugar
1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Add the yogurt, egg, maple extract, cinnamon, and Splendas to the cooled oatmeal. Stir well to combine. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until all is incorporated. Do not overmixSpoon mixture into muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before removing muffins from pan.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I made these this morning with leftover steel cut oatmeal. They are great! I had oatmeal that needed to be used in the fridge, so I did not use the apples.
Also, I added rasins, and used regular sugar (just a little less) and eggs.
They are moist, and the chewyness of the oats is really good, too.
I had to estimate how much oats to use, I used about 1 1/2 cups. Do you think that's right? Or too much?
Thanks for the great recipe!

Sami: So glad you liked the recipe! My recipe calls for 1/2 cup oats (dry) so if that makes 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal, you should be fine. But I would think that 1 1/2 cups (dry) oats would be too much. Does that answer your question? Thanks for commenting!
