The food and drug Administration's recent approval of lovastatin, the first of a new class of powerful cholesterol-lowering agents, the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, occurs at a time when physicians' attitudes and practices for identifying and treating high cholesterol levels in blood are markedly changing. In 1984, the Lipid Research Clinics Coronary Primary Prevention Trial (CPPT) showed that cholestyramine-induced cholesterol lowering reduces the risk for coronary heart disease (1). Confirming the predictions of population-based observational studies such as the Framingham Study, the CPPT showed that each 1% reduction in cholesterol levels results in an approximate 2% reduction in risk

Kingmax "Hardcore Series" DDR-466 and DDR-500 Memory
Module Size: 512MB
Package: 184-pin DIMM
Features: DDR PC3700/DDR PC4000
Configuration: 32Meg X 16 Kingmax
Error Checking: Non-parity
Speed: 466MHz/500MHz
Voltage: 2.5V
SDRAM Timings: CL=3.0
- Modules
BGA memory isn't the easiest thing to understand so we will simply explain it in a way most people will understand.
Normal memory is known as TSOP, this is seen on the SuperRAM series form Kingmax as well as 99% of other DDR memory modules on the market. This memory is connected to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) with little legs on the side of the memory chips. BGA or Ball Grid Array works with lots of little solder balls on the memory PCB and the back of the chip which are in turn joined together and this is how the memory is attached to the PCB.
Some people may not understand how this is more beneficial but thanks to the shorter distance between the PCB and chip being of absolute minimum, you will wind up with the best possible connection and the best factory yields.
All modules are 100% Dual Channel compatible and work without a hiccup on both Intel and AMD systems including the newest AMD Athlon 64 system which is known for being quite picky on the memory side of the show.
One other thing that people will also notice on this module is that it doesn't come with a heat spreader. Some may think that due to the high speed of the memory, a heat sink is a must. This is another benefit to the BGA technology. The memory chips operate at a cooler temperature and there is no reason for a heat spreader to be included as part of the package.
Having said this, the majority of the time heat spreaders are just included for looks. So it's not too much of a concern. It might have been an idea for Kingmax to include a fancy looking heat spreader as customers may think they are missing out on performance from the Kingmax module due to it not requiring any additional cooling.
- Overclocking
You can't get anywhere without overclocking and we intended to find out just how far we could get both sets of modules by pushing the FSB of our Pentium 4 processor as high as possible. As soon as we pushed our samples to 2.9 volts (and above) on the ABIT IC7 MAX3 motherboard we ran into booting troubles - this made 2.8 volts our limit and at this DIMM voltage we got the DDR-466 to 488 and DDR-500 to 516.
Before we get onto the benchmarking it is worth noting that for some reason we ran into some trouble running 3DMark at some of the above speeds. Apart from in 3DMark, the modules were 100% stable from just running word to benchmarking and playing the brand new Unreal Tournament 2004 demo.

I'm not too excited about the next generation of boxers
Anybody else feel this way?
First off, this isn't one of those "boxing is dead" threads. So if you came here looking for that, you can click "back" right about.....now.
Alright, onto the thread.
I'm simply not excited about any of these new guys who are supposed to be the next generation of good boxers. Please tell me I'm not alone in this.
None of them grab me, they all seem to be a bunch of very rusty, very easy to figure out kids who don't have any love for the sport. I think half of them will end up getting destroyed by pretty much any top 10 fighter in their division right now.
Boxing seemed so much better when I started watching it in '95. We had all kinds of talent, everywhere. From '95-'05 we had guys like Jones, Hopkins, Toney, Mayweather, Barrera, Morales, Pacquiao, Marquez, Lewis, Holyfield, De La Hoya, Whitaker, Trinidad, Lopez, etc, etc, etc....
These guys dominated everybody in sight.
I look at this new crop of guys who are supposed to be their replacements in the future......Guys like Andre Berto, Robert Guerrero, Juan Manuel Lopez, Juan Diaz, etc.... And I feel.....nothing.
They're alright kids, and I'll watch them fight no doubt, but I don't connect with any of them, the way I did so many guys throughout the 90's.
I can't see myself ever cheering for one of them the way I cheered that night I lept out of my recliner when Hopkins knocked out Trinidad, or the way I screamed at the Television in support of Barrera the night he fought Morales the first time, or the way I've turned down sex for a Roy Jones or Pernell whitaker fight.
I just can't ever see myself connecting with any of these kids.
I know they're young yet, and I know that all legends are made the same way.
But I just don't connect to any of these kids.
Does anybody else get what I'm trying to say here?

I pretty excited about all the new Cuban fighters (Gamboa, et al). I love watching James Kirkland but honestly he is a pretty simple fighter that would probably get schooled by a seasoned vet...

Bringer, I know exactly what you mean.
My favorite fighters RJJ, B-Hop, Ali, JT, Mike Tyson.....are all done basically. I mean Roy still his thing, but hes going to be done soon. JT is still out there, but hes done. B-Hop is probably only going to fight one more time. Ali and Tyson are done obviously....its tough.
The only new fighters I like is Andre Ward, and hasn't really done anything yet. And he ain't no Roy Jones.
Even Chad Dawson, I like him. But hes not Roy Jones or B-Hop. Those guys had charisma.....it sucks people have to get old. lol

My take on this is more like, I feel all these new guys are only in it for the money. The quick paycheck and then they bounce before getting hurt. They don't give a **** about legacy or what people say years from now. These guys got like 10-15 wins under their belt and they want the top dawgs of the division already. It's sickening actually. Whatever happened to working your way up and actually gaining ring experience? I know some of them have a lot of amatuer background, but that doesn't always equal to having professional ring experience once those gears are off.

Why don't you try going to Europe to get your fix of 'Top Prospect' boxers coming into the game?
Some very good talent is coming through the ranks over here, especially in the UK. I was worried about the state of boxing here when the Calzaghe/Hatton era finally finishes but we have guys like Kell Brook who i think is going to become the first Brit to top the P4P rankings. Things are looking up.
BTW, Kell Brook beats Berto anytime, right now.

I agree, but I think Tim Bradley, Victor Ortiz, Juan Manuel Lopez, and maybe even Abner Mares have great potential.

It's hard to see an ATG amongst the new crop, in the vain of a RJJ, Floyd or Hopkins.
Still, I think they're pretty exciting - I love watching Kirkland, Gamboa, Juanma fight.
Ortiz, Linares and Dawson look the most accomplished to me. Someone will probably emerge from the crop to be a truly top fighter. Maybe a couple of them.
Someone bump this thread in 7 years time.

Oh ya as far as exciting new comers that I'm looking forward to. Gamboa, Lopez, Valero, and Kirkland are some I think of off top of my head at the moment.

I think is just that we arre living in a different culture.
But a bunch of this guys, brings a lot of excitement.
I think was happening with you is that all your favorite fighter are retire or are soon to be and you were more of a fan of them than the actuall sport(no Offense).
Somebody will catch your eye again!!!!!!!!!!

EDITORIAL - Probing torture: The Justice Department is right to seek answers
The appointment by Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. of a federal prosecutor to look into reports of CIA torture of prisoners was controversial but necessary.
A fundamental argument against such a move was that the new administration of President Barack Obama should focus on the problems of the present and future, rather than dig up the bones of the more odious deeds of eight years of President George W. Bush. In general, Mr. Obama has done that.
Another case against the probe is concern that it may set off bureaucratic combat or, more seriously, inflame the sort of noncooperation between the CIA and the Justice Department, which includes the FBI, that was part of the basis of U.S. agencies in general failing to read and share intelligence that could have headed off the tragic 9/11 attacks.
The other side of the argument -- which carried the day -- was the general abhorrence that most Americans have for the torture of captives. Whose flesh does not crawl when reading about U.S. government employees or their contractors beating up or waterboarding people who have not been brought to trial and may be guilty of nothing other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or of having a name that causes someone to assume they are some kind of subversive?
Americans' opposition to torture is neither a liberal-conservative issue nor a Republican-Democratic one. Disgust at the practice runs from the American Civil Liberties Union to the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a conservative who was tortured as a prisoner by the North Vietnamese. It is also an issue that runs beyond American xenophobia, which sometimes rears its unattractive head in times of stress, such as wars. It is important to remember that the Bush administration labeled some American citizens "enemy combatants" and could easily have tortured them.
In the end, Mr. Holder's decision to name an investigator, veteran prosecutor John H. Durham of Connecticut, was correct. If the process leads to decisions to prosecute CIA employees or U.S. contractors who used torture or even those who set the policies that resulted in these practices, so be it. Most CIA employees will appreciate the clarity and guidance this will provide them for the future, regardless of who is president and what are the circumstances under which they hold interrogations.

ibis budget Marseille Vieux Port - hotel reviews in Marseille
Hotel code: 2575
Accorhotels.com customer reviews in partnership with TripAdvisor
"Central Marseille on a budget"
3rd July 2013, Jude K, Derby, United Kingdom
An excellent central hotel for those on a budget but nonetheless clean and comfortable and up to the usual Ibis standards.. We particularly valued the on-site underground parking although this is subject to availability. Would definitely stay here again.
"Great Marseille hotel close to major attractions, night life and transport"
3rd July 2013, Gadzira, Cape town
Booked with this hotel because of the good price and location to Vieux au Port. Was an EXCELLENT choice and is three city blocks away from the harbour, restaurants and just about all bus routes.English at the front desk was acceptable and booking taxi for early morning pick up was simple and efficient.Went out and partied late and had 4am taxi pick up... door man came up and woke me up as I overslept and made sure I was up and out. That was MUCH needed else I would have missed my flight!Great location, good price makes this a must if you have just one night in Marseille (or any longer time) and want to be able to see the sights (most in walking distance) and get to see the cities night life (clubs are 3 blocks away around the harbour).
1st July 2013, Córdoba, Argentina
Room very small, with a very tiny window. Looks like a prison. Terrible breakfast, very poor and seemed a little dirty. Elevator was broken and was the only one available. No door lock in the room, so personnel can enter easily while you are sleeping.
"Hotel very nice but Watch out!!!"
19th July 2012, berordi, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Although the hotel is nice. They charged me double when I made my reservation through Accor, I made a first reservation and then I received a mail that the reservation was cancelled so I reserved again. However they charged me for both!
"Good for the rest after all day walking"
13th July 2012, Ufa, Russia
Good for the rest after all day walking. Service is very good. Location near the port regin is convinient to tourists, who want to have a see trips and to have a rest on the beech. If I will be in Marseille next time, I try to stay hear.
"Great no frills value in excellent location"
15th April 2012, The_Joneses_12, Leicester, United Kingdom
Great value for the excellent location just behind the quayside of the old harbour with metro, bus and vast array of bars and restaurants within 5 minutes walk. Had refurbished room but work still in progress- not a problem but workmen had to share only lift which caused some delays. Good value continental breakfast if required. Underground parking with direct access but not used. Towels changed daily without asking and some bedding although only a 3 night stay. Pillows not substantial enough but not a reason not to stay.
"good location and value"
4th May 2011, London
I liked the location of this hotel. Several friends were staying at more expensive ones in the Vieux Port area ,and I think I had better value. They were envious that I had a bath and a shower in my bathroom! Lovely city, especially if you like ships/ferries, and this is a good place to stay as a solo traveller.
"good location, great value"
10th January 2011, Malta
Close to the Old Port, just two minutes from metro stop. Small room, slightly dusty, but good value, it s an ETAP, so you know what tp expect at the excellent value you have paid for. Will reccommend, especially since one overnight is enough to visit Marseille!

MARIETTA - When Washington State Community College student Nic Cochran said he enjoys theater because it's a kind of stress reliever, the fellow members of the cast of "All the Great Books (Abridged)" burst out laughing.
"Some days it can be really, really hectic," Cochran said.
But the cast and crew, most of them members of the Drama Llamas, the comedy/improv division of the college's drama club, are looking forward to having a good time performing the play this weekend and having the audience laughing with - and at - them.

Washington State Community College students Nic Cochran, left, and Lauren Cunningham rehearse a scene from "All the Great Books (Abridged)" Thursday in the college's Graham Auditorium.
"I love everything about it," said student Andrew Pomerleau, clad in a grass skirt and coconut bra during Thursday's rehearsal for a scene in which he portrays Calypso from Homer's "Odyssey." "It's a fabulous opportunity for some physical comedy, but it's got a lot of high-brow material in it."
"I also love the opportunity to embarrass myself in front of possibly tens of people," he added, noting he plays a number of female roles in his overall portrayal of Andy the teacher's assistant.
The drama club was resurrected at Washington State in the spring of 2012 when English instructor Amanda Anderson, Pomerleau's wife, was asked to serve as its adviser. Anderson teaches a theater course at the college that's part of the liberal arts transfer program, and some of the participants in the play, the club's fourth, are students in it. But the club is open to any student."It helps build a sense of community" on campus, Anderson said. "I think that theater and the arts are very important to developing a sense of campus identity. And then I think the arts are an important part of any education."
Fact Box
If You Go
* What: "All the Great Books (Abridged)," a play presented by the Drama Llamas, the comedy/improv division of Washington State Community College's drama club.
* When: 8 p.m. today, 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
* Where: Graham Auditorium at the college.
* Cost: Donation only.
The club has about eight members, most of whom are working on this production. The cast consists of three students - Cochran, Pomerleau and Lauren Cunningham - and one faculty member, Mollie Jarrell, assistant professor of criminal justice. Anderson serves as director, and other students and faculty members help with behind-the-scenes items.
"All the Great Books (Abridged)" condenses 86 classic works of literature into an hour and 45 minutes, making it appeal to Anderson on multiple levels. She said there's plenty of in-jokes for people who are familiar with the books, but also plenty of broad comedy as well.
"It's smart. And it's hilarious," said Cochran, who plays a theater professor attempting to instruct the audience on the books featured in the play. "I mean, it's so smart that I don't get most of the jokes. So that must mean it's pretty good."
The play is designed to be adapted to the time and place in which it's being presented, Anderson said. So the audience will hear references to Miley Cyrus and the government shutdown, as well as Washington State and its president, Bradley Ebersole.
It's a bit of a departure for Cunningham, a Warren High School student taking classes at Washington State under the post-secondary enrollment option. She's been in prior players productions, but they've been more traditional plays.
"This is my first comedy ever," she said. "I'm not funny. It's a big change, but I like it."
The play will be performed at 8 p.m. today and a matinee at 3:30 p.m. Sunday. All performances are in the Graham Auditorium on the college campus.
Admission is by donation only, with proceeds going to the Connie Brant Memorial Foundation, named in honor of a former drama teacher at the school.

Clean up your financial paper trail
Weeding out unnecessary paperwork has obvious benefits: staying on top of bills and taxes, avoiding late fees, reducing exposure to identity theft and even making a grab-and-go exit easier in a natural disaster.
But it's not just about eliminating paper pileups. Getting organized also can be a godsend to your family, said Claes Bell, senior banking analyst at Bankrate.com.
"A lot of people don't think about this, but if you or a loved one passes away unexpectedly, having account numbers, website logins and other key financial information in some kind of order can make it much easier on your (family)," he said. For all those reasons, here are four tips:
LESS IS MORE: If you have lots of different bank or brokerage accounts, you're generating lots more paper than you may need. Unless you have a specific plan, such as better savings rates or laddered CDs, it can pay to consolidate your accounts among a few banks or credit unions, Bell said.
SWITCH TO ONLINE BANKING: One obvious way to shed paper is to pay bills online, from utilities to credit cards to cell phones. Remember to keep track of payment due dates so you don't incur a late fee. And if you set up automatic payments, be mindful of potentially triggering overdraft fees. Online payments also can help protect against fraud, because you're not generating as many financial pieces of paper, "the stuff that fraudsters love to get their hands on," said John Ulzheimer, of SmartCredit.com.
DITCH EXTRA CREDIT CARDS: Getting rid of excess plastic can unclutter your wallet, as well as drop the number of monthly billings. And there are added benefits: "You won't accidentally make a purchase on a little-used credit card and then forget to pay the bill, which can mean big late fees and serious credit consequences," Bell said.
GO DIGITAL: Almost any financial record can be found online. Switching to electronic delivery of banking, bills and tax documents can save lots of trees.

Nicole Kidman saved her hubby from drugs
The two opened up about their marriage and Urban's drug addiction on the Oprah Winfrey Show in the US. Urban, who will appear with Kidman when Oprah hosts her show at the Sydney Opera House, said he never would have kicked his alcohol and cocaine addictions without his wife.
"She really should have walked. I'm just glad she didn't. She made a decision to initiate, ultimately, this intervention and the love that was in that room at that moment was just right," the Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying.

Roger in his 14th final this year
It took Roger just 58 minutes to dispatch of fourth seed David Nalbandian 6-4, 6-0 and advance to his first ever Madrid Masters final. He will next face the winner of Saturday's late match between Czech Tomas Berdych (ATP 10) and Chilean Fernando Gonzalez (ATP 11).
"We'll have to see what happens tomorrow but it will be different because it will be five sets," Roger commented. "I've won matches 6-0 before so it doesn't mean that much but it is always nice to win that way."
Roger controlled the match in every aspect of the game to claim his 18th consecutive win and enter his 14th final of the year. After Nalbandian fought his old foe hard in the opener Roger completely imposed his will on the Argentine in the second set, which lasted only 22 minutes.
Nalbandian appeared lackadaisical in a second set in which Roger looked as if he was playing a qualifier, rather than the World No. 4. On Nalbandian's final service game Roger claimed an overhand slam at the net, a backhand winner down the line, and an easy forehand winner to win the match without dropping a point in the final game.
a great match against Nalbadian!!!! and good luck against Gonsalez !

Andersen's Fairy Tales
by Andersen, Hans Christian
Andersen's Fairy Tales Appearances Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Tale Title.Paragraph)
Quote #1
The princess was riding by. She was so beautiful that anyone who looked at her forgot how wicked she was; and that's why everyone was now shouting, "Hurrah!" (The Traveling Companion.50)
This just goes to show that how you look and how you act aren't necessarily related. Just in case you've never, ever realized this before: hotness does not = awesomeness.
Quote #2
"But if you take my voice," said the little mermaid, "what will I have left?"
"Your beautiful body," said the witch. "Your graceful walk and your lovely eyes. Speak with them and you will be able to capture a human heart." (The Little Mermaid.67-68)
Is having some great curves and some sexy moves enough to make someone fall in love with you? The sea witch apparently thinks so. As we see in the tale, though, this "talk with your body" plan doesn't go so well for the little mermaid. She really coulda used that voice thingy to stand up for herself.
Quote #3
Many, many years ago there was an emperor who was so terribly fond of beautiful new clothes that he spent all his money on his attire. He did not care about his soldiers, or attending the theater, or even going for a drive in he park, unless it was to show off his new clothes. (The Emperor's New Clothes.1)
Sure, we all get a little obsessed with our appearances from time to time, but it seems like that's all this emperor ever thinks about. We have to wonder who's running the empire while this guy is, like, trying to decide whether to wear the cream coat or the eggshell colored one.

The people are deeply outraged by the current regime's out and out servility to foreign interests, its corruption and plundering mania and its wanton violations of human rights.The task of the broad united front is to bring to the surface and to the streets the people's outrage and thus overcome the regime's campaign of mass deception and intimidation.
We are facing the great challenge of bringing the people's war to a new and higher level. Broadening our ranks against the common enemy, along with the fulfillment of ideological, political and organizational requirements, will surely place the people's war in its intended place in history.

My sister's school has an auction coming up on 4/9, and has asked if I'll do some baking for her. I've got lots of great cake recipes, but was hoping to find some T&T new ideas to toss at her.
Last year, what sold best were layered cakes, I donated a double layer Pineapple upside down cake that went for $30, and it's a possibility again for this year:
Some ideas I'm kicking around are a chocolate cake, a raspberry or cherry white choc or coconut cake, something with lemon or maybe caramel.
Thanks so much :)

"Find something you are passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it" -- Julia Child
Bump .G m Jolene.
Hi, Jolene! Will a bundt cake work, if it's not iced?!? This cake is always a big hit! I guess you should make sure people know it contains kahlua, if they are going to buy it!
Kahlua Chocolate Bundt Cake-Mom3boys1 pkg. devil's food or fudge cake mix1
(4 oz.) instant chocolate fudge pudding mix1 1/2 cups sour cream1/2
cup Kahlua2 eggs, beaten3/4 cup vegetable oilPreheat
oven to 350º. Combine all ingredients and beat until blended, 3 minutes.
Oil a 12 cup Bundt pan. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until
toothpick comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool 25 minutes on a
rack, then turn out onto serving plate. Cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Thanks for the bump Rosie, good morning to you :)Ellen, will have to double check on the alcohol usage, but I'll be making that cake for us, for sure! If I baked it in layers and put a chocolate frosting between and on top would it be too much? Thank you for posting this :)
contains kahlua, if they are going to buy it!
contains kahlua, if they are going to buy it!
Sigh, double checked with sis, no alcohol allowed either... I am definitely going to make this for us though!
My friend gave me this recipe and it's a good one. I will put in the frosting recipe that comes with it but there's no reason why you would have to use it as it has cream cheese in it. Just substitute a buttercream frosting and it will be just as good. You could still use the pumkin pie spice in the frosting.
Carrot Poke Cake
1 (18 1/4 oz.) box spice cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
2 cups carrots, shredded
1/4 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup boiling water
1 (3 oz.) pkg. orange flavor gelatin
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 teas. pumpkin pie spice
2 cups powdered sugar
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake batter as directed on package; stir in carrots and raisins (if desired). Pour into 13 x 9 inch baking pan. (For your bake sale you could make layers).
2. Remove from oven. Pierce cake with large fork or skewer at 1/2 inch intervals being careful not to go clear to the bottom or all the jello will run out onto the bottom of the pan.
3. Meanwhile, stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Pour evenly over cake. Refrigerate 3 hours.
4. Beat cream cheese, butter and spice in large bowl with electric mixer until well blended. (Or skip this part and make buttercream frosting.)
5. Gradually add sugar, beating until well blended after each addition. Spread onto cake.
Liz, that's perfect, I've even got a spice cake in the cabinet already! thank you so much :) I'm pretty sure BC or DH does a shelf stable cream cheese frosting, it won't be as yummy as the one you posted but I may give it a shot!
I'll offer my "Two Cents Worth" for some helpful hints, if I may.
Presentation--Presentation--Presentation! Whatever cake you take, the one with the best eye appeal will be the biggest seller. Little touches like chocolate curls, frosting that looks artistically swirled (not just slapped on thinly), broken candy pieces sprinkled heavily over cake top--whatever looks good. An example would be a cookies and cream cake. I made one for my son's scout cake auction a few years ago. I looked up a recipe on the internet, had crushed cookies (I used my food processor) in a white buttercream frosting which I applied thickly so it could be swirled nicely, then cut oreos in half and stood them up at an angle around the cake edge. I went to a chain grocery store's bakery and purchased a plastic cake holder (I have done this several times--plastic pie containers, too. They only charge me 50 cents to $! per container ). When I showed my boys, they asked me to attach the recipe to the container. They thought it looked so good that people would think I bought it. Their auction did very well and our cake got $350.If you make a 3 layer cake or cut your 2 layers to make 4, your cake will be taller and taller always makes a good presentation. Just make sure it will fit in your container when the lid is on lid before you get it all assembled. How about a chocolate cake with a buttercream frosting flavored with peppermint extract? You could leave it white or tint it pink. Then, maybe junior mints or crushed leftover candy canes sprinkled over the entire cake top.
Hope you can use some of these. Good luck!!
Interesting "cake walk"..
Around this area , a cake walk, is different.....People donate cakes, cookies, brownies and fudge on a plate.....
The kids or adults walk in a big circle with numbered squares on the floor.....The music starts and they walk until the music stops.....They then draw a number and the one standing on the numbered square that was picked, gets to go and pick out a plate of goodies, cake , brownies etc....
The kids love that here.. the cake walk. They buy tickets to participate in the musical cake walk..
...Around here that would be called a cake auction, not a walk.....
(around here, the school asks the people to donate a 2 layer cake, but on separate plates....Decorate it cute,,,,, That way more kids have a chance to win a prize cake.....
zakonsInteresting "cake walk"..
I guess the school has misnamed it, but has called it that for the last 3 years. The cakes are definitely auctioned off though, bidding sheets are placed by each cake and it goes to the highest bidder. I've edited my request and thanks for letting me know.
no recipe but this sure brings memories of growing up. Our school held them during the carnival. Such fun!
This is similar to one that has already been posted but has kahlua as an ingredient. Here amaretto is am option but in view of the restrictions placed on you by the school, leave out the amaretto and almond essence. Maybe add vanilla instead. The cake is delicious and if you are any good at decorating, which I am not, decorated with different chocolate ie dark, milk and white, it could be very pretty. Good luck
1 chocolate cake mix
1 can cherry pie filling (540ml)
4 eggs beaten (by hand)
1 1/4 tsp. almond extract
2 Tbsp Amaretto liqueur (optional)
Chocolate glaze:
2 semi-sweet chocolate squares
2 Tbsp. Butter
Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl. Stir by hand until thoroughly combined, about 2 mins. Butter a Bundt pan and spread the batter evenly in the pan.
Bake at 350F for about 35 minutes. If the cake is not done bake another five minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
Melt 2 squares of semi-sweet chocolate with 2 tbsp. butter over low heat.
Drizzle Chocolate Glaze over the top of the cake.
Hi Jolene,
How about a white cake with lemon filling in the center? If you get the lemon pie filling in a can, there isn't any dairy product in it, so it wouldn't have to be refrigerated. Then put on a 7 Minute Frosting. I have a real easy microwave frosting exactly like 7 Minute if you would want it (so easy to make!) and then sprinkle coconut all over the top.
Happy Easter!

|Martha Stewart Jokes

The week of May 2nd was my last official "maintenance" week before officially beginning marathon training. I got in 1 strength training day along with a total of 14 miles that week. I seemed to still be in a funk that week. I couldn't seem to mentally engage in the runs. I struggled through them all and started to question my love for the sport.
The week of May 9th I found my zen again! I had a great 8 mile run at the State Park, I-podless, and feeling great. My mother-in-law rode her bike as I ran and I had an extra sense of security. I had a smile on my face throughout the whole 8 miles. It was great!!! I got in 1 strength training day and a total of 4 days of running. This week also marked the start of my "official" marathon training. I ran in Chicago Saturday morning with Chicago Endurance Sports which is the group I decided to train with through my marathon. It was a great first experience! I met some great people and look forward to running with them.
The week of May 16th I got in a total of 13.5 miles and 2 days of strength training. It was a great week and I stayed right on track. I completed a 6 mile run with CES and loved every second. There is something magical about running along the Chicago lakefront early on a Saturday morning. I am definatly happy with my decision to join CES!
The week of May 23rd was an OK week of training. I took 3 rest days and got in 1 day of strength training along with a 30 minute EZ run. I ran the Solider Field 10 mile race yesterday and had tons of fun! My official time was 1:37:44 which is a 9:47/min/mile pace. I was more aiming for a 9min pace but I still felt great about my accomplishment. I only stopped to take some fluids and did not stop to walk. It was a really well organized race and I was proud to have my husband and mother-in-law there cheering me on.
I am happy with my progress towards the marathon so far. I have learned so much already. The most important lesson I have learned so far is the value of "The Stick". I have very tight leg muscles that have led to some setbacks throughout my running and I have learned the necessity to not only stretch but also to "roll out" my muscles on a daily basis whether I exercise or not. The Stick has been my lifesaver. If any of you have not tried it and suffer from stiff, tight muscles I highly recommend it!
Happy Running!

|Abba Abacha and Late Sani Abacha
Abba Abacha was sentenced to a suspended jail term of two years and his assets confiscated in the initial court hearing, but he won an appeal at the Swiss Federal Tribunal which ordered that the sentence be annulled and a retrial held due to procedural irregularities and the fact that the accused had been unable to attend the trial because he was unable to obtain a visa in time.
The Swiss Federal Tribunal annulled the sentence and ordered the retrial on the grounds that Abacha's rights had been violated.
In June 2010, Geneva police's court found Abba Abacha guilty of participating in his family's pillage of Nigeria's assets.
Abba Abacha was ordered to return $350m of illegally gained assets at his trial last year in the police court in Geneva.
Nigerian government had asked the Swiss government in 1999 to help recover the money, much of which was thought to be hidden in Swiss banks.
Switzerland has so far handed back about $700m to Nigeria.
His father, Sani Abacha who took over power in 1993 and ruled till he died in 1998, was believed to have syphoned about $2.2 billion from the Central Bank, which his sons Abba and his brother Mohammed controlled.

A fire official says three people have been injured after a trailer giving rides at a farm in Bedford County went into a creek.
Montvale fire chief Scott Hawkins tells The Roanoke Times that six people were on a flatbed trailer tied to a tractor when it rolled down a hill at Layman Family Farms on Friday night.
Hawkins says two people fell out of the trailer and were trapped underneath in the water before being removed. He says three people were taken to Roanoke Memorial Hospital with injuries that weren't life threatening.
The rides were part of the farm's fall festivities that included pumpkin picking and a corn maze. The farm was closed after the accident.

SEBRING — The Lake Placid All-Stars started slow but found their offense in plenty of time in rolling to a convincing 17-7 mercy-rule win over Hardee County in Saturday morning's opening game of the Dixie Boys (age 14) State Tournament at Max Long Complex.
Lake Placid came out sluggish and dropped behind by a score of 6-1 before its potent offense found the range and put up a barrage of hits against the Hardee hurlers.
"I am so proud of the kids for not getting down on themselves when we fell behind early," said Lake Placid Dixie Boys coach Randy Harris. "The kids woke up, our bats came alive and we finally put some hits together and scored some runs. "Our bullpen did a great job of shutting the Hardee offense down and gave us a chance to get back in the game.
"This is a good win and we should be confident heading into our next game."
The win moved Lake Placid into a winner's bracket game today and set up a potential game against host team Sebring.
The Sebring All-Stars opened play on Saturday against a talented West Seminole squad.
Results from the game were not available at press time, but for the complete story and photos, be sure to read Monday's Highlands Today sports section.
For the latest results, be sure to check the Highlands Today Facebook page.
Hardee County came out swinging and took the early lead thanks to some timely hitting.
Lake Placid began its comeback in the fourth inning by putting up three runs to trim its deficit to 6-4.
The boys in green and white came out with a vengeance in the fifth inning and batted around against a couple of Hardee pitchers.
"We swung the bats and put the ball in play," Harris said.
Lake Placid brought in Quesemel Sholtz in relief and the hard-throwing hurler allowed one unearned run in his two innings of work to allow Lake Placid to get back on offense.
"Hardee scored all of its runs off our starter, but our bullpen came in and shut them down," Harris said.
Lake Placid was on a roll and went back to work in the bottom of the sixth inning as the hit parade continued with several runs crossing the plate.
Buddy Jolley ended the game with a booming triple to score Tay Williams, Katwan Gord and DJ Williams for the 17-7 lead, which brought the 10-run mercy rule into effect.
The Lake Placid All-Stars have a chance to make a run in the tournament with a solid pitching staff, go defense and a very explosive offense.
"We've got a good team and the boys are fired up and ready to roll," said Harris. "We wouldn't mind playing Sebring because we scrimmaged them twice before the tournament and they know us and we know them."

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — Just when you think life has handed you enough hardship, Benjamin Allen humbles you with a most personal journey of extreme loss and heart wrenching grief.
During a 13-year period, Allen's wife and two children — one an infant — died. So intense was his journey, that he was featured on Oprah, The Today Show, The New York Times, 20/20, and the Dallas Morning Post.
For years Allen struggled, and finally found a way back to a life of meaning and fulfillment on a path he believes is paved with love and hope.
He has now completed a book, "Out of the Ashes: Healing in The AfterLoss," a roadmap from grief to fulfillment and meaning. The book details his experiences with overcoming isolation, shock, deep sorrow, and going the distance as a legacy to the family he once had.
The book is purposely written to bring hope, transformation, and grace to people coping with any type of loss or major life change so they can know that peace and comfort are possible again.
"You don't have to feel alone. You don't have to feel like you're wandering through the wilderness by yourself," said Allen. "This book chronicles that journey for me, but it's a universal journey. We all go through this kind of pain, this kind of hurt and we can come out on the other side with an expansiveness and renewed purpose and meaning."
The book is a life line for those who have suffered any type of loss: loss of a relationship, a job, a dream or a lifestyle. It's a message that Allen and his supporters believe needs to get out there. He is now using Funderway, a website similar to Crowd Source to raise the funds to self-publish his book.
Allen is a grief recovery specialist and counselor with 21 years' experience helping hundreds move through their grief. His wife, Rachel Flower, is a business coach and mentor, and they both use their careers to donate a percentage of their incomes to Sustainable Tahoe.
Learn more about how you can help get Allen's amazing story published by visiting www.outoftheashesbook.com.
There, you can donate and watch a short video of Allen on the shores of Lake Tahoe, where he talks about his journey from the depths of sorrow and darkness back into the light.

Super 8
PG-13 2011 | Sci-Fi and Fantasy Kids and Family Action Adventure Mystery
J.J. Abrams' 2011 blockbuster is so much more than a sci-fi thriller - it's a love letter to making movies, to watching movies, to the wonder of adolescence and the power of compassion. The fact that there's a massive, mysterious creature on the loose, a small town in peril and six young friends determined to save the day? Well, that's just gravy.

- Plan your pilgrimage, but not to Ohio: the movie was actually filmed in Weirton, West Virginia and surrounding areas.
- Stay 'til the end! The kids' completed movie "The Case" plays during Super 8's closing credits.
- It starts with an idea: long before coming up with the idea for an alien on the loose or kids making a movie, J.J. Abrams imagined starting a film with the image of a factory's "Accident-Free" sign.
- J.J. Abrams originally had concepts for two separate movies - one about kid filmmakers in the 1970s, and one about an alien invasion. Magic happened when he combined them into one.
- The sleepy town where the film takes place, Lillian, is named after J.J. Abrams' grandmother.
- Shout out: the film's evil corporation Romero Chemicals pays homage to legendary zombie film director George A. Romero.
- Callback easter egg: a "Slusho" sign can be spotted in the gas station scene; Slusho was part of the viral marketing campaign for the J.J. Abrams-produced alien flick Cloverfield.
- Veteran actor Bruce Greenwood, who also played Captain Pike in J.J. Abrams' big screen Star Trek adaptation, provided the motion-capture performance of the alien.
- How do you follow that?! Super 8 was the film debut of young stars Joel Courtney and Riley Griffiths.
- Creative geniuses just want to have fun: both Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams have said that filming Super 8 gave them some of the best times either have ever had on a movie set.

Comments about POP Beauty No Show Concealer, One, .16 oz:
I kept hearing about this concealer on UK and Australian beauty websites, was very eager to try it and wasn't disappointed by it at all. The first time I wore the highlighter portion of this (you apply with a wand, the concealer is a stick) I got a compliment on how "glowy" I was. I love the effect and it's very easy to apply. The concealer portion is great for undereyes (not breakouts) because it's very thick, which is the only reason why I checked it as harder to blend. Maybe it's just because I have fair skin, but it requires a bit more blending than usual. Also, it will settle in creases, but not much and only when a lot is applied. Overall, great product I love, use everyday and would definitely recommend.
- Skin Tone:
- Fair
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This military drama is based on the true story of Carl Brashear, who was the first African-American to serve as a diver in the United States Navy. Brashear (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.) was born to a poor farming family in the deep South, and joined the Navy in hopes of bettering himself. When Brashear applies for diving school, he first encounters Master Chief Billy Sunday (Robert De Niro), a gruff and tyrannical diving instructor who holds absolute sway over his charges. Sunday does little at first to encourage Brashear's ambitions, and the would-be diver discovers racism in the military is an ugly fact of life when his white comrades refuse to share barracks with him. But Brashear's courage and determination make an impression on Sunday, and the two men become allies as Brashear must fight prejudice, military bureaucracy, and even a crippling injury in order to realize his dreams. Originally announced under the title Navy Diver, Men of Honor also features Hal Holbrook, David Keith, Michael Rapaport, Charlize Theron, and Powers Boothe; Bill Cosby served as an executive producer for the project. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Uncle Tom's Cabin
by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Uncle Tom's Cabin Chapter 22 Summary
READ THE BOOK: Chapter 22
- Tom receives his letter from George and Aunt Chloe and is overjoyed by the contents.
- Tom's friendship with Eva grows. He loves her and they share in each other's faith. They spend many hours together, Eva reading the Bible out loud to Tom.
- One night, as they read the Bible together, Eva and Tom start talking about heaven.
- Eva says something startling: "I'm going there," she tells him, and when Tom asks, "Where?" she points to the sky and says, "I'm going there." Foreshadowing, much?
- Miss Ophelia interrupts them by calling to Eva to come in from the cold. She has started to get worried about Eva's cough. Miss Ophelia tries to explain her fear to St. Clare, but he laughs it off. Yet he does begin to notice all the signs of little Eva's failing health.
- One day, Eva asks her mother why they don't teach their servants to read.
- Marie laughs at her. "It's no use for them to read," she explains. What do they need it for? It doesn't help them do their work better.
- Eva insists that the servants ought to be able to read the Bible; it would teach them God's will and bring them comfort.
- Marie tells her daughter that she has other things to think about and moves to another subject: she takes some jewels out and shows them to the little girl, saying that Eva will have them when Eva "comes out" (that is, when she is received into society as a young woman ready to be courted).
- Eva looks at the jewels and says she wishes she could use them the way she wants. If she could, Eva would sell the jewels and buy a place in the "free states" where all their servants could live. She would hire teachers to teach them to read and write.
- Eva insists that it's very hard on servants that they aren't educated, and that it's simply wrong..
- Marie says that all Eva's talking is giving her a headache.
- Eva goes away, but after that, she begins to teach Mammy how to read.

From CNN.com comes an interesting story about a newish trend in the stay at home workforce.
More than a decade after the Internet allowed millions of people to work at home, the next phase of telecommuting involves, well, not working at home.
Web developer Toby Ho, left, has joined a coworking group called "Jelly" in Roswell, Georgia.
Organized "coworking" — the concept of working solo alongside like-minded independents — has spread to dozens of cities.
The irony of coworking isn't lost on organizers, including Kevin Bachman, who set up a group north of Atlanta as part of an informal Web-based network called Jelly.
"The reason people work alone, is because they're looking for freedom," said Bachman, a 34-year-old Web developer who telecommutes part time. "It may be ironic that you crave isolation, but you also want to be socially interactive with others like you."
This seems like a no brainer.
Coworking is gaining popularity as number of single-person businesses in the United States is skyrocketing.
The nation added nearly 4 million one-person businesses between 2000 and 2005, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
This seems like a great way to share ideas with like-minded people and share the cost in some of the more high cost real estate areas. The business contacts, networking, sharing of ideas and energy seems like something that would work for everyone involved.

The Sisters of Saint Joseph have made a decision to drop the longtime name if the hospital is sold to Triad Inc., which is a for-profit organization.
The Sisters of St. Joseph sponsor Ascension Health, which is the nation's largest Catholic non-profit health system and the hospital's present owner.

On a snowy afternoon in January 2007, Jeremy Pauley, 18, and three of his friends decided to go sledding at Barthelmas Park in their hometown of Circleville. Jeremy and Kevin Baisden started sledding around 5 p.m., while Danielle Ziemer and Natasha Cox watched. At around 6, when it was getting dark, Jeremy decided on a new location for his last sled run.
It so happened that in the summer of 2006, Circleville was offered free topsoil from a nearby construction site. The city uses topsoil for various projects, including reseeding the park. The nearly 200 truckloads were taken to a maintenance facility for storage. When that was full, the remaining topsoil was dumped on the park grounds, forming two mounds about 15 feet high.
It was to these mounds that Jeremy headed for his last run. Kevin moved the car so that the headlights lit the hill. Jeremy claimed that as he sledded down the hill, he "hit an immovable object." He "instantly went numb" and couldn't move. Realizing that Jeremy was badly hurt, Kevin called 9-1-1. Jeremy, it turned out, had suffered a broken neck, which caused him to become a quadriplegic.
At the time, Kevin didn't notice any obstacle in Jeremy's path, but the next day he found an object that looked like a railroad tie near where Jeremy was hurt.
Jeremy and his mother filed a complaint alleging that the city acted negligently, recklessly, and wantonly in dumping the debris in the park, which resulted in a physical defect that caused Jeremy's injuries. The complaint alleged that "waste and debris?created an inherently dangerous situation which no user of the park could have anticipated and thus substantially altered the nature and characteristic of the public property."
The trial court concluded - without a trial - that Circleville was immune from the lawsuit because of the recreational-user immunity law. The court of appeals affirmed that judgment, after which the case came before us - the Ohio Supreme Court.
The recreational-user law states: No landowner: 1) Owes any duty to a recreational user to keep the premises safe for entry or use; 2) Extends any assurance to a recreational user, through the act of giving permission, that the premises are safe for entry or use; 3) Assumes responsibility for or incurs liability for any injury caused by any act of a recreational user.
Jeremy's attorneys claimed that the law is designed to provide immunity only in specific circumstances. They argued that it doesn't apply when a property owner makes the property "more dangerous without promoting or preserving recreational activities."
Circleville argued that if a premises is freely open for recreational purposes and a person is injured while using it for a recreational purpose, the landowner has no duty to that user to keep the premises safe.
By a five-to-two vote, we affirmed the court of appeals' judgment that Circleville was immune from liability.
According to the majority, to determine whether immunity applies, courts must examine the essential character of the property. The majority stated that the character of the premises envisioned by the recreational-user law involves "the true outdoors," including elements such as "land, water, trees, grass, and other vegetation."
But the property needn't be entirely natural. For example, it might contain a softball field, which features certain manmade elements. The types of activities that qualify as recreational use are diverse: the law lists hunting, fishing, camping, swimming, and "other recreational pursuits." Courts have broadly construed the "other recreational pursuits" to include sledding.
A decision by our court in a case from 1989 requires that, in these cases, a property be viewed as a whole. So, according to the majority, the question is whether any changes so altered "the essential character of the park as to take it outside the protection of the" recreational-user law. "We cannot accept as reasonable any contention that the presence of a railroad tie in a public park changes its essential character as a recreational space."
Adopting Jeremy's attorneys' argument, the majority said, would conflict with the purpose of the recreational-user law, which is to encourage owners of premises suitable for recreational pursuits to open their land to public use without fear of liability. Removing the protection of immunity would undoubtedly cause property owners to restrict recreational use of their properties, or close them entirely, from fear of liability.
"The park in this case is an outdoor property with trees and grass and is open to the public free of charge for picnicking and sporting activities such as sledding, baseball, soccer, and basketball. The alleged defect in this case is an object resembling a railroad tie. When viewing the park property 'as a whole,' the existence of a single railroad tie does not change the essential character of the park to something other than a property that is open for recreational use.
"Critics may claim that our decision reaches a harsh result," the majority wrote. However, the language of the recreational-user law is plain: "a property owner owes no duty to a recreational user to keep the property safe for entry or use. Creating an exception to this immunity is a policy decision that comes within the purview" of the legislature, not the courts.
Justice William M. O'Neill and I cast the dissenting votes. I believe the immunity provisions in the law are overbroad and provide unreasonable and - with respect to governmental entities - unconstitutional protection to premises owners.
Justice O'Neill went further, saying that when "a property owner converts a recreational park to a municipal dump site for construction fill and debris," there is no law in the land that should shield the owner "from accountability for such a disastrous action." He concluded that "when the owner of a property that enjoys the immunity granted by the people of Ohio for recreational purposes makes a conscious decision to use the property for other purposes, the immunity ceases."
Nevertheless, the majority ruled otherwise, and therefore the city is not liable for Jeremy's injuries.
Paul E. Pfeifer is an American jurist. He served in both houses of the Ohio General Assembly as a member of the Ohio Republican party and is currently an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio.

Well they all didn't stay. But that was expected. At least four Penn State players are moving on-- to USC, Cal, North Carolina State and LSU. At least they're big time programs anyway. The big name is running back Silas Redd and he's off to USC for two years and who knows if he'll run for the 1,400 yards he gained last season as a sophomore on Penn State's 9-4 team. I don't know that Penn State's record will be a disaster this fall-- enough good players remain and it appears to me that there are enough winnable games.
It's obviously crucial that new head coach Bill O'Brien find enough quality recruits and they'll be stepping in and playing as true freshmen before much longer. I see George Mitchell has been hired to oversee how Penn State does business and to make sure the school plays by the rules. My guess is he won't have much to do. Penn State is so beaten up by this whole Sandusky episode it just doesn't have any energy to cheat at this point.

Theatre—great stories told here. Audiences wanted.Theatre lives in the present tense. It is always here and now. Whether the story is drawn from ancient Greece or set in some futuristic world of tomorrow, the sense of occasion and participation make it a communal event.
Theatre at Centralia College began anew in 2001 with the addition of not one but two state-of-the-art theatres: the 506-seat Margaret Corbet Theatre and an intimate 110-seat studio theatre, the Phillip Wickstrom Studio Theatre. More than 150 productions have entertained and enlightened our campus and community since 1935 (see our production history). We hope, after perusing this Web site, you'll join the thousands of previous patrons by attending an upcoming production or, if you're so inclined, take a class, audition or help us in some technical capacity. Like theatre itself, we're here to serve you.
"Believing in the power of the theatre is like believing in religion: you have to experience its effect in order to understand the attraction to it."

Many NY gas leases expire as moratorium remains
Some landowners seeking better terms
New York's five-year moratorium on shale gas development promised to be a blessing for many landowners eager to end leases they signed before anyone outside of the oil and gas industry had heard of fracking.
But getting out of a lease can be tricky.
Many have clauses giving the drilling company the right to extend the leases for another five years. Gas companies have tried to extend thousands of leases by claiming an unforeseen barrier - the moratorium - has prevented them from drilling.
Thousands of leases have reached the end of their five-year term since the moratorium began in 2008. Some people want better terms while others have become opponents of the drilling technique.
