RICHMOND COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- Three men accused of killing a man over a decade ago all pleaded not guilty at their arraignment Friday.
Investigators say Derrick Robinson, Woodrow Carter and Marquise Redfield killed James Mills in 2001. Deputies say Mills was beaten and strangled during a drug-related robbery.
Mills' remains were found on Nautilus Street in Aiken years after his death in 2010.

Dr. Phillips is wonderful. My daughter ( 3 years old) just had her first appointment with her. The front desk staff were awesome, too. At the end of her appointment, my daughter didn't even want to leave, and the staff offered her a sucker to help calm her down, which worked well. I have a genetic condition, and Dr. Phillips completely understood my concern of trying to determine if I've passed it on to my daughter. Now, she's on the waiting list to found out. All the concerns I had, Dr. Phillips helped ease, since she listened and wanted to find out the answers as much as I do. Something I don't find very often in the medical community, sadly. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is need of a pediatrician.
Dr. Phillips was our very first experience with a pediatrician at our 2 week checkup. It's been eight years and three kids later; we "tracked her down" to this practice after kid number 2. She has been right on with every single diagnosis, and we've had them all: bone condition, strep, asthma, tourette's, heart murmur, mononucleosis, and all the 'little' things that babies get. Dr. Phillips listens, educates, and takes the time to develop a rapport with the children. They all love her...and her nurses...and the receptionists...and the sucker basket.

House Tour: West 22nd Street
As you can see, demolition started recently and what was an awkward one room studio is becoming a one bedroom (loft bed style) by taking advantage of the 14 foot ceilings. The owner is also attempting to do all the renovations in the building in an environmentally sound fashion (as he did with properties in San Francisco), and is finding it is easier to throw something out here than to repurpose it. In the Bay Area all plaster waste will be reused by the city, while no one in NYC wanted to take this apartment's plaster from him. He finally succumbed on that one but is reusing all the wood in the apartment, along with more that he has found from a supplier in Brooklyn. For more on efficient wood use, including resources see The NRDC Guide to Efficient Wood Use in Residential Construction.
We don't believe in waste. We believe that the future lies in intelligent use and design that makes material no longer needed in one area, food for another area. Just like cherry blossoms. MGR

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is telling lawmakers to start a special session Sunday afternoon so they can approve a nearly $6 billion state budget.
That's according to Capitol sources with knowledge of the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The special session is expected to last at least two days. The new fiscal year begins Wednesday.
Barbour was set to announce the session later Saturday, even though negotiators still had not agreed on final details on how to fund Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the needy.
Longtime legislators say this is the closest Mississippi has come in decades to starting a fiscal year without a budget approved.

World Central Bankers have got it wrong: Paul Krugman
May 28, 2014
Paul Krugman thinks Mario Draghi's biggest thinkers have got it all wrong. Speaking to a gathering of the European Central Bank's top researchers and policy makers, the Nobel Laureate said the ECB and other banks around the world need to raise the inflation targets they have clung to since the 1990s. At 2 per cent, those goals are too low and increase the risk that central banks will run out of room to cut interest rates, the so-called zero lower bound. "The intense resistance of central bankers to regime change even after more than five years at the zero lower bound shows that the kind of policy stasis that afflicted Japan for almost two decades is a more or less universal phenomenon," Krugman said in a paper delivered to Draghi and other officials in Sintra, Portugal.
Hardening Euro would trigger more monetary stimulus: Mario Draghi
April 14, 2014
BRUSSELS: European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi said a further appreciation of the euro would trigger more monetary stimulus in his strongest warning yet about the region's rising currency. "The strengthening of the exchange rate would require, to make our monetary policy stance to remain equally accommodative, it would require further monetary policy accommodation," Draghi told reporters in Washington late on Sunday. "The strengthening of the exchange rate requires further monetary stimulus.
Raghuram Rajan breaks into big league; joins Janet Yellen, Mario Draghi, Kuroda, Stanley Fischer & Mark Carney
March 5, 2014
MC Govardhana Rangan & Gayatri Nayak , ET Bureau
Great Indian cricketers from Sunil Gavaskar to Sachin Tendulkar have played more delightful cricket in West Indies and England than on home grounds. That's because the playing conditions - from an enjoyable atmosphere to superior pitches and facilities on ground - have been favourable. Something similar is happening with the Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan, at least in the first six months of his three-year term. International investors are cheering Rajan by returning to buy Indian stocks and bonds after turning their backs last year due to the fragile economic conditions.
Growth in Europe remains fragile, says ECB chief Draghi
January 25, 2014
DAVOS: With economic growth remaining fragile, European countries cannot afford to relax their efforts towards implementing structural reforms, according to ECB chief Mario Draghi . Many countries in Europe are still grappling with economic woes making the region's recovery uneven. Draghi, the President of European Central Bank , said that Europe is on the road to recovery but governments must remain committed to structural reforms. "The recovery is gradually taking place but the risks are to the downside...
World led by US poised for fastest growth since 2010
December 13, 2013
The world economy is primed for its fastest expansion in four years, with the US propelling the improvement in output. Global growth will accelerate at least 3.4% in 2014 from less than 3% this year as the euro area recovers from recession and China and other emerging markets stabilise, according to economists at Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley. The UK will be a standout, while Japan risks damping the mood by suffering a mid-year slowdown after an April increase in sales taxes.
Talk of early US Federal Reserve taper rattles markets

Stock markets all over the globe reacted sharply to the minutes of the US Federal Reserve's October meeting in which the central bank reiterated its intention to begin tapering its bond-buying program within the next few months. According to the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meet, "Fed policy makers expected economic data to signal ongoing improvement in the labour market and thus warrant trimming the pace of purchases in coming months. " Jobless claims in the week ended 16 November dropped by 21,000 to 3,23,000, the smallest number since September.
ECB governor Mario Draghi's chief advisor quits, to join French insurer AXA
October 1, 2013
FRANKFURT: Mario Draghi's chief adviser is quitting the European Central Bank to take up a post at French insurer AXA , leaving the ECB president without an ally who helped shape his plans to fight the euro zone crisis. Christian Thimann , a 47-year-old German, quickly became a trusted adviser or "consigliere" to Draghi after the Italian, viewed with suspicion by many in inflation-wary Germany, took over the ECB presidency on Nov. 1, 2011. A softly spoken ECB veteran, who has been at the bank since it was founded in 1998, Thimann's experience and understanding of Germany have proven highly valuable to Draghi, who used him to help sharpen views and plans, and also promoted him. Sharing adjacent offices on the 35th floor of the Eurotower, the two men met regularly from the start of Draghi's presidency, brainstorming before Draghi crystalised his "fiscal compact" plan - a pitch for stricter budget discipline that preceded his signature policy measure, the OMT bond-buy programme.
Text of statement by ECB President Mario Draghi
August 1, 2013
FRANKFURT: Below is the full text of the statement that European Central Bank President Mario Draghi delivered at his press conference on Thursday. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Vice-President and I are very pleased to welcome you to our press conference. We will now report on the outcome of today's meeting of the Governing Council. "Based on our regular economic and monetary analyses, we decided to keep the key ECB interest rates unchanged. Incoming information has confirmed our previous assessment.
Signs point finally to end of Europe recession
July 26, 2013
FRANKFURT: After a year and a half of recession, Europe's battered economy could finally be showing signs of life. It's not the kind of recovery that calls for a big celebration. Any upswing will be a slow and arduous climb up a slope strewn with high unemployment and scarce credit for businesses. But signs of improvement are there. On Thursday, a German index of business confidence rose for the third month in a row. Meanwhile, surveys of purchasing managers in the euro area indicate manufacturing activity edged back into growth territory in July for the first time in 18 months.
European factories show signs of stabilisation in June: PMI
July 1, 2013
LONDON: European manufacturing activity showed signs of stabilisation last month and will probably grow this quarter after encouraging signs emerged even in smaller members of the euro zone, a survey suggested on Monday. Any indication of a recovery will be welcomed by the European Central Bank , which has come under pressure to take more action to help bring a quicker end to the longest recession in the bloc's history. Markit's final Eurozone Purchasing Managers' Index rose to a 16-month high of 48.8 in June from May's 48.3, just above an earlier flash reading of 48.7 but below the break-even 50 level that divides growth from contraction for the 23rd month.

Movie Review: Snails in the Rain (שבלולים בגשם)
There was something about this movie that made me think the director wrote the whole thing to leer at the lead actor, Yoav Reuveni. Yoav plays Boaz, a linguistics major at a Tel Aviv university in the late 1980s. He lives with his girlfriend and works after school. Everything is alright until he starts receiving short, anonymous love letters from another man. Now, if you ever wonder whether it is the external object or the internal feeling that really animates life, this movie definitely takes a position.
I recall writing love letters to this classmate of mine in high school. And I always felt that he had an ambiguous sexuality and that to explore his homosexuality had the feeling tone of a fate worse than death. That being said, in my adolescence, I wasn't so sensitive to that, so I wrote him poetry. After the first one, if any of my friends delivered the poem to him, without looking at it he'd ask if it had come from me (as opposed to a girl). They would reply yes and then he'd chaotically rip it up to shreds with such force and effort and precision that it obliterated the writing completely. He did that every time. It was as though to see what was written would unleash something that must not be unleashed.
Anyways, Boaz reads these letters. He comes to expect them. And then he starts to look at every man around him as though its a possible author. This only intensifies something long simmering in him -- that is, his own homosexual feelings. His girlfriend is sensitive to this and so his emotional wobble disrupts their normalcy. We learn that during his compulsory army service, his homosexual feelings also broke through at one point.
I was disappointed with the end, big time. Korean double suicides feel more authentic than this. Although as I age, I have come to realize that life is not drawn only in black and white -- even if I feel one puts themselves in such a situation, black is much more preferred.

Movie Review: Boulevard
In my own thought processes, I harbor romantic notions surrounding the midlife coming out drama. This movie does not disappoint. It is fortunate that Nolan Mack (played by Robin Williams in his last on-screen performance) does not have children and so the damage that is done in a debilitating cruelty that Nolan and his wife have done to each other for decades and that they didn't drag a bunch of other souls into the depths.
Nolan Mack is a middle aged loan officer at an American mid-West bank. He is married to Joy who is some kind of scholar/writer/academic and hausfrau. He goes about his highly habitual life -- lacking in spontaneity or joy. One night he takes a different street home after running an errand to the store and he ends up going to hooker/hustler lane. He practically runs over a young hustler who ends up "getting in." From there, he has made contact with the dark, repressed depths of his unconscious and from there spontaneity, feeling and everything else he's bottled up for 40 years comes roaring into his life breaking everything in its way.
There was an additional feeling layer woven into the story by the knowledge that Robin Williams suffered from depression and had killed himself. It threw the feeling part of the story into deeper relief that the character will be redeemed but the one playing the character not. A story of redemption is outlined by the truth of tragedy.

Movie Review: Thanatos, Drunk (醉‧生夢死)
The characters in the title of this film together represent an idiomatic expression in Madarin that has somehow been translated into Thanatos, Drunk. But the component parts are: drunk, alive, dream, death. I think this accurately and clearly describes the film. The movie has some create cinematography (and skinematography) but for what it gains in these formal aspects of film making, it suffers in a clear, easy to follow narrative.
The movie revolves primarily around Rat, the younger brother, of two son of a hostess. They live in the slums on the outskirts of Taipei. Rat works at the market and has a crush on a mute female prostitute. His older brother, Shanghe, had temporarily migrated to the United States to be with his boyfriend but that plan failed and he returned and works in gay-related entertainment jobs. He works for a distribution company that distributes foreign gay films and eventually we learn he also makes his money as a strip dancer at a gay club. Not to make anything too easy,
I guess this can be considered Taiwan's contribution to the third world's poverty porn genre. It mixes both gay life with poverty in a new and unique way. I left the movie depressed. But the main male actors are all very handsome so it wasn't a complete loss. But I'd watch it on DVD as opposed to in a theatre.

Movie Review: Queens and Cowboys
This is a documentary about the American West and Midwest and gay people who stay in these non-urban areas of the United States. From the average age of participants, it appears that the gay rodeo scene developed as a rural alternative to urban gay life in the age of AIDS in the United States. There is a segment about how "gay" cowboys are rejected by the dominant rodeo association(s) and that rodeo staff at the gay rodeos who contract to work each rodeo they work at, were shy to be identified on camera because the non-gay rodeo managers will refuse to hire them.
It's an interesting take on the real life between urban gay America and Brokeback Mountain. One of the things that struck me was the discussion about how gay rodeos are in decline because the membership ages but does not recruit enough younger people. It reminded me of Robert Putnam's discussion of "social capital" in the United States. More people bowl in the United States than before, but bowling league membership has declined. Putnam argues that civic engagement in the United States suffers as people become more isolated and less social.
Without getting to much into Putnam's argument, the notion of doing gay rodeo would seem to be eclipsed by the increase in digital penetration in rural America. All of the risks and limitations of identifying with such a group are eliminated when interactions are limited to chatrooms and hook up apps.
I thought the documentary was very information. I learned a lot about the United States and people in the West and Midwest.

Movie Review: The Last Straight Man
Then there were all of the questions about how can someone like Cooper live in a marriage in which he has no feeling or intimacy or deep care for his wife and then meet up with his best friend for an annual night of what appears to be the most feeling/pleasurable night of the year in his life. Very sad. Unfortunately there is no character development and I almost got the vibe that this was a poorly executed fantasy of a gay guy. Anyways, I skipped ahead at a few points because the dialogue and pace was too slow.

Movie Review: No Night is Too Long
This was a well written movie. I'm surprised I had never heard of it. It's like a gay Hitchcock film. In short, Tim is a promiscuous gay college student who ends up hooking up with a lecturer from another college named Ivo. They enter into some kind of relationship and in his senior year, Ivo admits to Tim that he's in love with him. Tim then cheats on Ivo at some point and then tells Ivo who hits him. Ivo lectures on a boat cruises in Alaska during the summer and Tim pressures Ivo to take him along.
As Tim prepares to meet up with Ivo for the cruise, he is marooned in some remote hotel and meets a woman named Isabel with whom he sleeps. He falls in love with Isabel. Anyways, Tim joins Ivo's boat cruise but gives him the cold shoulder and refuses physical intimacy with Ivo. Tim tells him that he doesn't love Ivo and regrets coming along. At some point Ivo breaks open the door to Tim's cabin and rapes him. Then, the passengers on the cruise take a day tour on little boats to a remote and uninhabited island. The passengers are given free time to explore while Tim and Ivo argue in a secluded rocky cliff area. Tim discloses that he met Isabel and is in love with her and the only reason why he continued with the plan to join the boat cruise was so that he could get to the end destination and take a plane to find Isabel. Ivo goes ballistic with that news, a struggle ensues, Ivo is knocked against a jagged edge of the cliff. Tim leaves him for dead, joins the last little boat back to the cruise boat and hides Ivo's safety vest, etc.,. I'll leave the ending for your own enjoyment in watching the film but you'll be shocked, a number of times.
If Hitchcock were alive in 2002, he might have just made this film. It was a surprise in that it was a suspense film that avoided some of the pitfalls of coming out narratives or similar. The gay theme was subtle. It's study of human nature and emotions was convincing all the way to the end.

Movie Review: Wild Horses
I didn't hear about this movie at all. In fact, I'm still not sure how it ended up in my queue to watch. I mean, James Franco is ... well ... James Franco. But I still don't recall anything about this movie before I put it in the DVD player.
Anyways, this is a gay movie. James Franco plays a gay guy and the whole movie is about his relationship with his father set in borderland Texas. Gay is not the only theme in this movie. It has lots of relevant social and emotional themes that weave themselves around the the conflict between James Fraco and Robert Duvall. Has all the interesting aspects: murder, shame, reputation, guns, drug runners, dirty cops, everything. It's definitely an interesting character study about regrets in life and what could have been set in pastoral southern Texas. Definitely a nice cuddle up date night type movie. Oh and did I mention, James Franco is in it? Loved the bar brawl scene the most.

Avalon Theatre looks to future with auction of vintage gear
Bay View residents may be having dinner and a movie flanked by gaudy vaudeville architecture and twinkling lights on the ceiling of the historic Avalon Theatre by Thanksgiving, said Lee Barczak, the Avalon's owner, at a news conference Friday.
An online auction of vintage theater items this week, including a wall-sized hand-painted Spanish mural and original seating from the theater's vaudeville days, is paving the way for $2 million in renovations, Barczak said. The renovations will transform the space, which at one time had a seating permit for up to 2,300 people, into two modern theaters with 240 and 80 seats, respectively, and in-theater dinner and bar service, while leaving vaudevillian facades of the original Avalon intact. Renovations could start in a month and a half after bids are finalized and awarded. A rendering could be ready in two months. »Read Full Article(8)

Home » Pastry and Decorating » White Cake Frosting (raw, vegan, gluten-free)
This is the perfect frosting for cake decorating. There are many different types of frostings out there that are job specific. They are used to decorate a variety of desserts, they add another layer of flavor and texture, as well as enabling you to decorate your creation so that it is a treat for the eyes as well as the palate.
I am going to be daring and say that this is the closest that I have come in making a raw frosting that reminds me of fondant. Some say "FOND-ent" and some say "fond-AHNT." Also known, in some cases (such as in UK) as "sugarpaste." It is made from icing sugar, corn syrup, oil and flavorings (and several other binding ingredients). Yukka.
Though I have seen some gorgeous and creative cakes decorated with fondent, I am never drawn to eat them. Though using fondant may seem tempting because it holds its shape at room temperature, but did you know that if it is wrapped in plastic, then sealed in airtight container, it will last for about a year! That just doesn't sound appealing or very healthy to me.
The key to using this frosting is to first chill it to a texture that is firm yet spreadable. Then after the cake is frosted, return it to the fridge to firm up. Once firm, you can smooth it out. I had a great deal of fun while I was working with this frosting, I hope you do too!
Sunflower lecithin is made up of essential fatty acids and B vitamins. It helps to support healthy function of the brain, nervous system and cell membranes. It also lubricates joints; helps break up cholesterol in the body.
It comes in two forms, powder and liquid. I prefer the raw powdered sunflower lecithin. Setting aside all the nutritional benefits, it is a natural emulsifier that binds the fats from nuts with water creating a creamy consistency. If you use the liquid form, which is dark brown in color, it will create a cream colored frosting instead of white.
I shared a photo to the right here of my Pecan Peach and Caramel Ginger Ice Cream Tart where I used this frosting to pipe around the edges. As you can see it holds shape nicely and it will stand up to room temps around 70 degrees (F).
Yields 5 cups
Soaked cashews ~ soaking the cashews is key (!) and this step should never be skipped. Soaking causes the cashews to swell, giving a bit more volume for the money and it softens them which is vital when creating a creamy texture.
Coconut milk ~ whether you use fresh Young Thai Coconuts or canned full fat coconut milk, this ingredients helps give body, creaminess and hint of coconut undertone. It is a healthy fat that also acts as an emulsifier, brining the recipe together. If you can't find Young Thai coconuts you can use canned, but do your homework. Aim for organic, BPA free, and free of other ingredients.
Maple syrup ~ I used maple syrup because it is more alkalizing for the body than most other liquid sweeteners. You can use raw agave, coconut syrup or any other liquid sweetener that you like to use.
Vanilla ~ The role of vanilla in sweet goods is like the role of salt on the savory side: it enhances all the other flavors in the recipe. You can use vanilla bean (seeds only), powdered vanilla or vanilla paste.
Salt ~ I use sea salt in just about all of my sweet desserts. It elevates the sweet level.
Coconut oil ~ It is a healthy fat but also gives the frosting the overall body. Once chilled above 76 degrees it firms up, making this frosting perfect for decorating with.
Lecithin ~ This plays several roles and is a great support for all the other ingredients used. It is an emulsifier and thickener. After making this frosting, it will be very runny. Place in the fridge to chill and firm up. You can take it out at any time, depending on the consistency that you want for your dessert. If left at room temperature for an extended period of time, it will start to soften to a point that it will lose its structure. Enjoy and have fun!

Hi Amy,
Your site is so fun! Thought I would share with you an idea form a South African friend of mine.
In S. Africa they put the cashews in a blender and blend them to powder, then process with liquids. The end product is incredibly smooth. Not sure this would work with soaked nuts, but did try it with dried. The dried nuts need to loosened from the sides of the blender after blending before adding liquids.
Thanks for sharing your love for raw foods.
Good morning Pilgrim,
Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing that with me. Do you soak and dehydrate the nuts first to make sure you are releasing the phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors? That would be my one concern. So far with a high-powered blender I can completely smooth results when process nuts in these recipes. But it is wonderful to have a few more tricks up our sleeves. I appreciate that. :) Have a wonderful weekend, amie sue
Hi Amie Sue,
In my research I found that cashews don't have enzyme inhibitors (don't know about the phytic acid, though). Have you come across this as well?
Hello T,
I have read it in enough places throughout my research that cashews do in fact have some enzyme inhibitors… either way, why risk it. :) amie sue
dear amie sue,
i tried the frosting and it is amazing, but the lecithin does leave a bit of a disagreeable taste. i used soy lecithin. is there a way to avoid this? or did i use the wrong kind?
Hi Elke,
I normally never notice the lecithin at all in my recipes. Might be the brand. Can you send me a link of the exact one you used. These days I use the sunflower lecithin, either in powder or liquid. http://nouveauraw.com/ingredients/emulsifiers-thickeners/
amie sue
Good Morning Amie Sue, I have spent the last half hour checking out your website, your awesome Cherry Cake, and all things Amie Sue. I wanted to tell you that, though we have only met a couple of times, you really have "it". Whatever that is. That something special , enthusiasm, love of life, a good mate. And it really shows. What a blessing. It isn't often I get to meet someone that has the 'glow-on' but it is nice. I hope at some point to get to know you a bit better, that glow -on is contagious!
Have you considered selling the stuff you make? You work so dang hard, I know you love it but it's still work.
Just a thought. You probably already do.
I am with Eric in Phoenix this week, he's doing pretty good. 3 more weeks before he can go home.
Love to you and that man of your Bob.
Send peaches and pears(I make pies)
Good morning Laura! So wonderful to hear from you. I have been keep up on how you all are doing through your emails. Will you guys be in Tucson on June 8th? That is our grand opening. Please give my love to Eric. :) Once in OR we will continue to work on creating our commercial kitchen so I can get into manufacturing. One step at a time and right now the store here has been the focus. Thank you for such sweet words, please keep in touch! hugs, amie sue
Hi Amie Sue,
I have one more question if you don't mind.
Just wanted to know how this frosting held up in heat and humiditity? I am going to start baking soon and I wanted to get into something healthy. While I know that there are other (somewhat) healthy alternatives you can take to frosting, I don't know of one with fondant.
Please help.
T. Jones
Hi T,
I haven't tested this frosting in humid weather. I made it while here in AZ and it is a dry heat here. My house tempt is usually set at 70 degrees and it held up quite well…. for many hours. It was a great pleasure to work this frosting and as close to fondant as I have come close to. Granted real fondant will last a year on the shelf but then I can't stand to eat the stuff and talk about unhealthy. Have a blessed week end, amie sue
Dear Amie Sue,
This recipe looks so amazing!!! I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for all that you do, sharing your amazing raw recipes with the world. How very kind and generous of you. Do you have a store in Tucson now? Is it open? I would love to come visit. Thanks a lot for everything
Hello Daasya,
You are welcome, thank you for the kind words. :)
We have several stores in Tucson, but not for raw foods. We have permanently located our home in Oregon now. We will always have our other business there in AZ, but my raw food adventures will be established here now… but we are working to share my products with world. :)
Hi Amie Sue,
Is there anything that you might use as a substitute for the lecithin in this frosting? Would softened cacao butter be of any use?
Thank you,
Hello Naomi, softened cacao butter would work pretty good as long as you are ok with the chocolate hint to the over-all recipe. :) Have a great evening, amie sue
Hi Amie Sue. Is there any way to use agar agar or such instead of coconut oil? I am really trying to cut way back on processed oils.
Gosh Gayle, I haven't tried it myself so I can't really advise. Do you have issues with cold-pressed coconut oil? I hope you had a wonderful weekend. amie sue
My cholesterol is high so I am trying to back off the oils and also I have heard not great things about coconut oil along with the good so in a quandry there. I have used it often though especially for desserts. Sigh.
I believe that coconut oil has amazing healthy properties, but you have to do what you think is best for you! You know your body and how it responds to foods better than anyone else. I am glad that you are honoring it. How do you feel about avocados in your diet? amie sue
Dear Amie Sue
Is there something I can substitute for lecithin as you can't get sunflower lecithin in South Africa?
Many thanks
Kay, you can omit it all together. I don't know what you have available to you as a replacement in Sough Africa. Can you get lecithin at all? You can use the soy based lecithin granulas (be sure to powder it before using). Be sure to look for non-GMO if at all possible. :) Good luck and have a great day, amie sue
Thanks Amie-Sue. We can get soya lecithin here but 1.) it isn't organic and 2.) I noticed someone on your blog saying that the soya lecithin had a horrible flavour.
Will try it with no lecithin.
Would arrowroot / any of the gums / tapioca flour / agar agar help with thickening? I'm not too worried if it isn't raw as long as it isn't bad for you.
Thanks a lot. Have a lovely day.
Personally, I have never had a bad experience with the taste of lecithin… in fact I never taste it in my recipes. To be honest, I can't really advise you about the arrowroot, gums, flours… since I don't use them and don't know exactly how they will respond. Did you give it a try? Would love to hear your experience. Blessings, amie sue
Hi Amie-Sue,
First of all would like to say I love your website and have made several of your cake recipes and play around with them and love it.
Now doing some research for my little boys birthday cake and need a fondant like frosting, but refuse to use actual fondant, especially for a 3 year old!
This recipe looks great, am needing to make a brown coloured chocolate fondant like icing though (pirate ship ;)).
Would I just add some raw cacoa powder? How much would you add to this recipe? And would it still stay as smooth with the powder added?
Thank you so much, Stella
Hello Stella,
Oh, Happy Birthday to your little one! I am so happy to hear that you are having some fun playing around with the recipes here on Nouveauraw. If you are looking for a similar recipe but with a chocolate flavor, see this recipe. http://nouveauraw.com/raw-recipies/frosting/milk-chocolate-cake-frosting/. I hope this helps. Have a great day, amie sue
Hi Amie-Sue;
There is anyway to replace the lecithin? I am allergic to soy an I love the idea of using this cake frosting recipe.
Thank you!
You can omit it but they do make a sunflower lecithin which is what I use because I can't eat soy either. Just FYI :) Have a great evening, amie sue
Are soy lechitin granules ok if I grind them to a powder?
Oops never mind that's been asked & answered. Thx.
Hey, first of all I wanted to tell you that i absolutely love your blog and recipes! They all are so perfect omg… I wanted to ask, could i substitute the coconut milk with homemade almond (or nut) milk? I would probably use only one cup of almond milk with 2c of cashews and 1c of coconut oil, so the frosting is really thick.. but do you think that could work?
Thank you for the answer, have a nice day x
Hello B,
Thank you for the sweet and encouraging words.
The original recipe reads as:
Ingredients: yields 5 cups
2 cups cashews, soaked 2+ hours
1 3/4 cups thick coconut milk, fresh or canned
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp Himalayan pink salt
1 cup coconut oil, melted
2 Tbsp lecithin powder or liquid
You can try:
Ingredients: yields 5 cups
2 cups cashews, soaked 2+ hours
1 3/4 cups thick almond milk (using roughly 2 cups of almonds and 3/4-1 cup of water)
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp Himalayan pink salt
1 cup coconut oil, melted
2 Tbsp lecithin powder or liquid
Good luck and enjoy! amie sue
[…] Raw White Cake Frosting […]
Hi Sue
-Do you think the thickness of coconut milk can have a big impact? I made the recipe as written but after 24 hours in the fridge it is still a liquid slug. Impossible to frost with it.
-Could I substitute coconut oil for coconut butter, could give it more body.
-What would you do to recover this batch if possible
Flipping good though…I could drink it :-)
Shew, that would be a hefty drink. lol But I understand. :)
Yes, it is possible that the coconut milk thickness could have an impact… Since all the ingredients are in it already, I am going to suggest putting it in the freezer for a few hours and then check on it. Keep it in there till it gets really firm. Then remove it and scoop some out to soften a little (this is your tester) but the remaining in the fridge to keep it hard. Let is soften just enough to spread with a butter knife on something complimentary (i.e. cookie)
Once it is spread on your little goodie, let it sit at room temp (70 degrees F) or below and see how it holds up. What do you think of this approach? I have done this in the past and there is something about freezing raw frostings that sometimes is enough magic to pull molecules together. :) Blessings and keep me posted. amie sue
P.S. I make this recipe all the time and it has never failed me so I would change up the ingredients unless you want to just experiment around. amie sue

When he got off the phone, he approached me. I was standing at the counter. He then told me that my rear brakes were fine, but I needed new rotors and pads on the front. He stated that there was no pad left and that it started to scrape metal to metal.
He then told me that it also needed to be flushed and greased. Then he gave me a price of $512. I almost fainted! I could not believe that it would be that much. So, then I asked him how much without the greasing and flushing. He said that it would still be close to $400. I told him that there was NO WAY that I could afford that. Then he told me that I definitely did not need to be driving my vehicle anywhere, because it was unsafe. I then asked him if I could leave it parked there, in their parking lot until I could figure out what to do. He stated that there was not a problem with that.
I told him that I would be backby the next day to remove it from their lot. Then he asked me did I need a ride home. I told him that I would appreciate that.
I got home and called around to check prices on rotors and pads. I spoke to a parts place and they ordered the rotors for pick-up the next day. Then, I called another service station and found out that the labor to put those on for me was only going to run me approximately $100-$125. I told them that I would be there the next day.
Well, needless to say, I was relieved that I would not have to spend out $400-$512. Heck, even the almost $200 I would have to spend was still a stretch, because I am a single mom.
I recieved a phone call from Doug, and he stated that my vehicle was ready to be picked up. I said what do you mean. He then said that it had been pulled outside. I then asked him one more time what the price he quoted me was just to install rotors and pads. Then Doug stated that it would have been....so I stopped him right there. I said would have been, and he stated that they had already done the work.
Then I told him that I never authorized any work to be done. He said that I did and that if I had not that they never would have offered me a ride. So, needless to say that I had to fork over the money to get my vehicle out. So remember that if you drop your car off for an estimate to these people, that even without your authorization, they may do the work anyways. I am taking them to court and have already been informed that I have a case.

Column - At last a fight over this mad tax
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, December, 02, 2009, (7:53am)
PURE fluke, of course. But the Liberals have voted to stand up at last and fight.
From his very first press conference as the new Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott showed how lucky the Liberals were to somehow pick him in a voting accident.
Abbott, using plain sentences we'd never heard from Malcolm Turnbull, said the Liberals would no longer agree to pass the Rudd Government's emissions trading scheme. Not now, at least - and almost surely not ever.
Instead, Abbott took this scheme that Turnbull so disastrously backed, and showed how to use it as a weapon not against the divided Liberals - but against the reckless government that had dreamt it up.
You know this ETS, which 80 per cent of voters polled by Galaxy last week said they don't understand?
They'll sure understand it now that Abbott is there to explain it to them.
Tell me if Turnbull ever described Kevin Rudd's scheme to force us off carbon-based power as well as Abbott did yesterday: "This is a $120 billion tax on the Australian public and that is just for starters.
"We have heard from the Independent Pricing Regulator in NSW just yesterday that this ETS would add 30 per cent to the people of NSW's power bills ...
"What the Rudd Government's ETS looks like is a great big tax, o create a great big slush fund o provide politicised handouts by a giant bureaucracy."
And every word true.
Hey, Mr and Mrs Voter: you may want to "Do Something" about the environment, but does that really include paying a tax that will cost your family at the very least $1100 a year in bills, and won't lower world temperatures by a flicker? And this, when the world's temperature has been falling since 2001, not rising?
Abbott even quoted word for word the famous line that then Labor prime minister Paul Keating used to kill another media-championed three-letter tax, the Liberals' GST: "If you don't understand it, don't vote for it.
If you do understand it, you'd never vote for it."
And he rounded it all off by linking Prime Minister Rudd's colossal tax on everything to Rudd's Whitlam-style spending spree.
Ever heard an attack as powerful from Turnbull - I mean, other than Turnbull's attacks on his own party?
Finally the Liberals have fighting words they can take to an election. In fact, suddenly they have weapons lying everywhere to help turn a rout into at least a contest.
Wait until Abbott next asks how many billions of your dollars Rudd is spending to bribe Third World countries into signing up to an international deal to "stop" global warming.
How much of your money did Rudd promise to chip in to the $10 billion-a-year climate fund set up at last week's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting?
Your Prime Minister refuses to say.
How much will Rudd hand over of the $7 billion a year demanded from Australia by the United Nations in its draft treaty for next week's Copenhagen global warming summit?
Again, your Prime Minister refuses to say - and Turnbull, being a fellow warming crusader, never pressed him for an answer.
Well, that more-Labor-than-Labor farce is now over.
Abbott is the man to finally hold this Government to account on the issue that Malcolm Turnbull essentially waved through, to the enormous anger of so many Liberal members who have bombarded their MPs with demands that they damn well fight, damn it.
So Rudd has a battle on his hands at last, and will think twice before calling that early election that so terrified the Liberals into agreeing with everything.
Who'd hold a referendum on their huge new tax, of which the full costs will not be known for years?
But all this is putting the Liberals' hopes at their best. Abbott is still an undisciplined man, whose out-there Catholicism still attracts the licensed bigotry of the media and the Left. Women resist him. He also - rightly - wants less regulation of workplaces, not Rudd's more, and will be the target of a Labor scare on that, too.
More seriously, he's the accidental leader of a party bitterly divided.
If Victorian MP Fran Bailey hadn't been kept by illness from the Liberals' party room meeting in Canberra, Turnbull would almost certainly have tied the vote, rather than losing it by just 41 to 42.
What's more, if Turnbull had not been so typically pig-headed and had bowed out before the ballots, most of his supporters would have switched to third candidate, shadow treasurer Joe Hockey, who instead got knocked out in the first round, winning just 23 votes to Turnbull's 26 and Abbott's 35.
Head to head against Abbott, happy-face Hockey would have won, and the Liberals would now have a warmist dupe as leader whose insane policy would have been to allow Liberal senators a free vote on Rudd's tax - thus giving Rudd the seven Liberals he needed.
So only a single vote, illness and miscalculation produced not just Abbott's victory, but the Liberals' new fight-Rudd's-tax policy.
But this is where Abbott yesterday showed a rare daring and tactical smarts that must give his party hope.
Minutes after becoming leader, to the near universal surprise of the media pack, he offered his MPs a secret vote on whether they really did want to pass Rudd's tax, as Turnbull had promised to do by last Friday to the applause of the media.
The vote was emphatic: 55 to 29 said no. Or not yet. Abbott took the gamble, and got himself a mandate.
But he does not have unity. Turnbull's public congratulations yesterday were perfunctory. Hockey refused to rule out crossing the floor to support Rudd's tax. Global warming believers are so suffused with holy faith and self-righteousness, who knows how many Liberal senators may yet defy Abbott and do the same.
Yet Abbott has bought the Liberals time - the only thing left that could heal their bloody division over global warming.
The Liberals can be healed if they see global warming not as a moral question, but a scientific and economic problem. And events will prove decisive in settling a difference of opinion on those.
First, if the world keeps failing to warm, the warming theory itself will crumble. Indeed, it's crumbling already.
Rudd's belief that man is heating the world is based almost entirely on the reports of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
But thousands of emails uncovered in this month's Climategate scandal show that the scientists most responsible for those reports did not just doctor data, destroy awkward evidence, and censor sceptical scientists.
They also show some of them privately admitting that the world seems not to be heating as they (and Rudd) predicted.
"Where the heck is global warming?" raged Kevin Trenberth, an IPCC lead author, to another Climategate scientist: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't."
But time won't just settle this argument about whether the world is actually warming.
By next year the UN's Copenhagen summit will be well over and we'll also know then how serious other countries really are about cutting their emissions, too.
If the world's biggest emitters - such as China, the United States and India - keep refusing to agree to their own legally enforceable cuts in emissions, then tiny Australia going it alone will seem even more suicidally mad.
Of course, it cuts both ways. If the world resumes warming with a vengeance, and if the world's big emitters do indeed set real targets, then many sceptics will be forced to shut up.
So time will tell, and time will heal. Time is thus what the Liberals need most, along with a leader who would meanwhile rather die fighting than live crawling. With Abbott, the Liberals finally have both a cause to fight, and time to heal.
