McKew against Howard. What's new?
Andrew Bolt
–, Monday, February, 26, 2007, (5:10am)
Maxine McKew, the former ABC star, decides to continue her political activities by other means:
LABOR'S star recruit, Maxine McKew, is running for Federal Parliament - and she has set her sights on John Howard's own seat.
McKew was entitled to her political views even as a leading ABC presenter, but a review of her past interviews confirms that it's naive to argue that such views didn't influence the way she worked.
And that's all the more the reason not to believe the ABC defenders who say it's irrelevant that almost every ABC presenter is of the Left, as long as they are fair.
Let's check fair McKew's record against John Howard on the ABC. It's a random sample: Here are the bulk of the questions McKew asked Howard in the first interview I found in Googling "maxine mckew" and"john howard" (from 2005).
MAXINE McKEW: Is today's announcement of this redeployment to Afghanistan, is it in some way an admission that there are no easy victories?
MAXINE McKEW: In relation to Afghanistan, though, you saw the commentary there that arguably we've wasted three years. There's no security outside Kabul and no unified leadership.
MAXINE McKEW: Just wondering if you have an open mind on Iraq, because, you know, the most recent assessment on there is that the country is now a haven for foreign fighters, the insurgency is undiminished. There is an equally strong argument that we should be putting extra troops in there.
MAXINE McKEW: Prime Minister, just to return to Afghanistan for a moment, is it terrorism central, as Kim Beazley keeps saying?
MAXINE McKEW: Prime Minister, to turn to the other shock news of today, that came out of the UK, in fact almost as you were honouring the dead Londoners at St Paul's this morning, three of the London bombers grew up in Leeds. Now, surely this means, does it not, that we're seeing something quite different from what we saw in both New York and Madrid, in that there you had, if you like the perpetrators were imported. Now we're looking at home-grown perpetrators.
MAXINE McKEW: Prime Minister, if as you say you can't rule out that possibility that we could have potential bombers right here in Australia, what if today's announcement, this redeployment to Afghanistan and our continued presence in Iraq is all the provocation they need?
MAXINE McKEW: But this must be a factor in your thinking. I mean, you make a decision - or Cabinet made yesterday a decision - to go ahead and put extra troops into Afghanistan. And as compelling a moral and strategic reasons as there are for that decision, there could be some people out there who seek to do us harm, who will see this as just the excuse they need. That must weigh in your decision, so you're saying basically that's a risk we have to take?
Then there was her extraordinary and famous love-in with a collective of Australian writers dicussing the appalling Bush regime and the grubby Howard one. The tone can be judged from one of McKew's questions:
Robert, if this is right - if we're a satrapy of the US. And, Tom, if you're right, that we've taken the first step along the path to, perhaps, a more oppressive regime.
Like, if you're right, let me say to you all, that this is great raw material for writers. You are talking the stuff of tremendous conflict and tension.
And I'm - you know, I risk buying into a tremendous argument here, I'm aware, but why is it so few of our writers are addressing these big contemporary issues?
And let's not forget how she used her programs not just to showcase Labor heroes but to heap on them undeserved praise. For instance:
Introducing the former Labor president (Barry Jones) - who gibbered on more irrationally than ever - she declared him "one of the country's more popular figuresâ€.
Even when such a Labor guest went mad with partisan hate, McKew would do lttle but nod, nod, nod. Who can forget her interview last year with former Labor Premier Bob Carr, who berated George Bush for his alleged "simplemindedness'' and history of "substance abuse", claiming there was a "real danger" he'd give us a "manufactured or a real crisis with Iran" even though Iraq was sure to end Vietnam-style with "helicoptors on the roofs of embassies". And so on and worse.
Not that McKew wasn't at times aware that she'd crossed a line:
She came in for some stinging criticism after her heated interview with Pauline Hanson in May last year, which ranged from ``aggressive'' to Hanson's political adviser David Oldfield's view that McKew was ``very biased'' and ``basically lost the plot''.
``I've now re-thought that,'' McKew says of the interview. ``I was a hero to my colleagues after that interview. It was splashed all over the paper - `Maxine McKew takes on Hanson where politicians won't'.
``But it was quite the opposite (reaction) in the community. We had an immense reaction, it was an avalanche of mail. Even people who would normally never have a bar of Hanson's politics condemned me for the way I tackled her.
``The reaction was, `Here's smarty pants Maxine McKew taking on poor Pauline' and whatever you think of her politics she has a right to be heard. In Queensland, people said to me, `You people in the media don't get it: the more you criticise her, the more we rally to her.'
``It was a sneering, slightly patronising view that many felt I adopted was not the way to address the concerns of a million Australians.''
McKew, despite all that, left the ABC last year hailed as one of its greatest heroes, a model of balance and fairness.
No wonder, as even one Left-leaning Howard minister sighed, that to conservatives the taxpayer-funded ABC is "our enemies talking to our frends".
I repeat: by running against Howard in Bennelong, the ABC's McKew is continuing her political activites by other means. Back at the ABC, many of her former colleagues will just stick to her former methods.
Have Your Say
No doubt McKew will get considerably more air time, unless the ABC can catch Howard out doing something that would turn votes against him.

Totally agree Andrew. How anybody could have ever perceived McKew as being unbiased is a mystery - bias has always been oozing out of her (through that pathetic patronising "mother superior" veneer of apparent reasonableness)- and I can't say I'm a huge fan of Howard. But again, why has Howard continued to allow the ABC to pay huge salaries to non-events like McKew, O'Brien et al (and their ilk on SBS), to pursue their obviously grubby delusional political agendas - how savvy is this government policy??. Not very, I'd suggest.
And it's institutionalised at the ABC (and SBS) - and academia. Howard has missed a great opportunity, so far, to put moderate managers and journos in plumb jobs - will this ever change??
Mon 26 Feb 07 (07:14am)
Wonderful Andrew. Sound like exactly the sort of peron we need in Governemnt, rather than John and his merry band of (yes) men.
Mon 26 Feb 07 (07:18am)
barry jones one of the most popular people in australia......in your pants!!!
Mon 26 Feb 07 (07:19am)
Awww! That nasty bad Maxine McKew has a MORAL COMPASS, and she USES it when she thinks up the questions she asks people!
What a bitch!
Andrew, last I noticed, this country was about 3 times as good as place to live in as, say, the USA. You'll never admit it, but this is in significant respects due to institutions such as the ABC. This, Andrew, is because when you get rid of ALL of the public institutions, you don't achieve fairness, you achieve a strange kind of free-for-all where the cost of admission excludes most voices from having a say.
Why don't you go and live in the USA if you admire their politics so much - I'm sure Rupert would give you a job over there.
Mon 26 Feb 07 (07:26am)
How could anyone be surprised at this development!
Next we'll hear that Red Kerry O'Brien's been drafted to take on Turnbull! Then again, giving up that obscene taxpayer funded "salary package" would be a stumling block.
Everyone's ABC?? No, ALP's ABC!!
Mon 26 Feb 07 (07:28am)
'TV Star to Fight Howard', trumpeted the headline in today's online Australian.
TV Star? Presenter maybe, Commentator could be, taxpayer funded Propagandist most definitely. If that is the sum total of Australian TV talent, that this person is given 'star status', then we really need help in the talent stakes.
The Australian voter is really being taken for a ride by some of these politicians both State and Federal. It most certainly is an election year, without a doubt.
Mon 26 Feb 07 (07:35am)
I think the ALP may be falling into Lathams trap of personality over policy. For example Garrett is still a real liability for Labor as he has proven he actually has no stand on the evironment after his continual flips and flops since ditching the Greens and joining the ALP.

Awww! That nasty bad Maxine McKew has a MORAL COMPASS, and she USES it when she thinks up the questions she asks people!
A good way of explaining someone who manipulates their position in a taxpayer funded role to find a job in politics. I worry for your "moral compass" if you think this is a proper way to behave.
Mon 26 Feb 07 (07:53am)
Well, I'm not at all surprised but I would be if she actually moves to the electorate.
I recall when she was offered a run in Gough Whitlam's former electorate of Cabramatta, she became all snooty and actually refused to move their.
More fool the people of Benelong if they elect her. Do they really think she'll represent or even care about their concerns?
Mon 26 Feb 07 (08:00am)
It seems that's the natural progression these days. ABC journalist to Labor pollie.
Mon 26 Feb 07 (08:09am)
Question to Andrew Bolt: So are you going to stand against Kevin Rudd in his Queensland seat of Griffith then?
If you don't want to move out of Melbourne then you could try and contest the 4% marginal Labour seat of Chisholm against Anna Burke. Anna Burke isn't quite as high profile as John Howard, so it should give you some advantage.
If you did and this were a referendum on journalism who do you think would win between Maxine McKew and yourself?
Mon 26 Feb 07 (08:15am)
Yes Maxine has a liberal bias, which she has sometimes let out of the bag. Why is this a problem, particularily given your own conservative bias? Is the problem that Maxine was funded by taxpayers whereas you're funded by shareholders. I wonder who gets the greater reward....
Mon 26 Feb 07 (08:17am)
Kevin Rudd promised he was going to play with Howard's mind; it seems to be working. The lights at Kirribilli House will be burning late at night while Janette works out her election strategies. Has anyone noticed how much John Howard is resembling Bill McMahon these days?He even speaks like the former PM. It's quite spooky.
Mon 26 Feb 07 (08:27am)
McKew's assault on the PM's seat is a high risk strategy indeed. Certainly, the redistribution westwards did Howard no favours, but the aura of his position is strong and many wavering voters would come back to him I'm sure, if they felt that McKew was likely to win. Also, while Bennelong contains many Chinese voters, these are largely small business owners and self employed. To assume they are natural Labor voters in ridiculous. A strong showing in the polls for McKew would galvanise support for Howard.
Also, the hubris being shown here by Labor is quite remarkable. This move by McKew has all the hallmarks of Rudd trying to plug all the holes; he is winning in the media, he is winning in the polls, all he needs to seal his victory, is to actally wrest Howard's seat from him. The cherry on the cake you could say.
As Glenn Milne said yesterday in commenting on Rudd acting like he is already Prime Minister:-
"Rudd is increasingly behaving as if he assumes he's going to be prime minister - dangerous territory for someone who has been in Parliament for a relatively short nine years.
Consider some of Rudd's pronouncements last week.
First, he diverted to Western Australia to play alternative PM to Howard, who was also holding a Cabinet meeting in Perth.
While in the West Australian capital, Rudd went to Canning Dam, where he declared: "Yesterday, I announced funding for the Gnangara Mound to the tune of $30 million.
"Today, what I've indicated is that I'm going to provide also (sic) support to the Harvey Irrigation Project."
Back up a moment.
Last time anyone looked, the Labor Party was still in Opposition. And when you're in Opposition, you can't "announce funding" for anything.
Howard's recent comment that "Rudd is getiing a bit full of himself", just could resonate with the public. Nobody likes a smart arse. Like Beasley's lack of ticker and Latham's L-Plates, Rudd being "full of himself" has legs and could very well lead to his undoing. Just watch.
Mon 26 Feb 07 (08:33am)
Just prior to the 2004 election, Maxine McKew - on a drive-time journalist chat programme on ABC 702 - was heaping praise on the masterstroke of Medicare Gold and how great Mark Latham would be as Prime Minister! She was joined by fellow traveller David Koch and one other whose name escapes me. Great judgement call there!!

And why don't you live in Cuba. I'm sure that Fido would welcome one of the very few immigrants from the west that he gets.

Peter D of Coopers Plains,
I grew up in Australia but have spent many years living in the USA, and I completely disagree with you. I have watched with dismay as Australia has become increasingly infected with delusional leftist policies. Debate in Australia is utterly stifled; anyone who doesn't toe the dominant idiotic green/socialist line is excoriated.
The USA does not truck such stupidity. Debate is open and honest. People are expected to help themselves, but are also leant a helping hand if they need it. Instead, in Australia, we have a morally bankrupt victim culture that is steadily destroying our culture.
The USA built into its culture and constitution respect for individual freedoms, and those values are alive and kicking today.
I am moving back to the USA. There is no oxygen left in Australia. The country has travelled too far down "the road to serfdom".
Mon 26 Feb 07 (08:46am)
From the article you cited yesterday:
"Staff at the ABC have threatened to strike over the appointment of Mr Bolt, with one journalist warning of the slippery slope of appeasing the right-wing majority."
Where do they think the "right-wing" majority are? Do they mean the many Australians who are to the right of their own very Left-leaning biases?
And who gave the ABC the mission of being a Left-wing advocacy group? The taxpayers, the government, or the in-crowd at the ABC?
Where in the ABC charter does it say it must cater to the need of an oppressed Left-wing constituency?
Mon 26 Feb 07 (08:52am)
I think the article was actually a joke, altough I did warn one media head who was interested in hiring me that he'd indeed have to prepare himself for industrial action from his Leftist staff.

The ABC's AM program devoted almost 10 minutes of lead-in time in its program slot this morning to Maxine. One-third of the program. How's that for balance?

All week 11 -News has introduced you to the candidates for City Council in this April's election, now meet District "A"s candidates.
Both Tom Kenyon and Ken Sublett have a large amount of experience managing large organizations and considerable budgets.
Kenyon worked with Colorado state parks for 31 years and Sublett as a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel.
Both men say the first order of business if elected to the Grand Junction City Council is to take care of the comprehensive plan.
Kenyon says he would like to protect our riverfront and develop a trail from one end of the county to the other.
Sublett says 95 percent of the plan should focus on land use not just the 5 percent he says it does now. Both say a better plan needs to be developed to handle the growth in the area and that the current City Council needs someone who isn't afraid to make a decision and both Kenyon and Sublett each say that they are the man for the job.
Voters can mail in their ballots or drop it off at City Hall, the Old County Courthouse, or either of the county's motor vehicle registration offices at Mesa Mall or the Mesa County Fairgrounds.

Is Stephen Hawking Being Abused by His Wife?
Police Investigate Claims That the Famed Scientist's Mysterious Injuries Are Not Accidental
Jane's worries, however, intensified last August after one of Stephen's nurses called their daughter Lucy, 33, to report that the scientist had been burned after he was left out in the blistering sun in his garden. A nurse alerted police, who launched an investigation. Since then, Stephen's caregivers have been quoted in the press blaming his second wife, Elaine, 53, for causing his mysterious injuries. One former paid caregiver, who left in June over what she describes as a "safety issue," told PEOPLE she "witnessed forms of abuse...and found it completely unbearable in that household. [Elaine] calls him 'thicko' to his face. He would tell us, 'I cannot be left alone with her.' Those were the very words that he typed on his computer."
Police are looking into allegations of assault and have so far interviewed 10 of the scientist's current and former nurses. Elaine refuses to comment, but Stephen, 62, author of 1988's A Brief History of Time, issued a strong denial from the Cambridge hospital where he has been recovering from pneumonia since December. "I firmly and wholeheartedly reject the allegations," he said. "My wife and I love each other very much, and it is only because of her that I am alive today."
Stephen and Jane married in 1965 and had three children. In the 1970s Jane befriended a local choirmaster, Jonathan Hellyer Jones, and eventually they began having an affair. Stephen left Jane in 1990 after falling for his nurse Elaine, whose husband had designed the voice box that enables him to speak. Both couples divorced, and Stephen and Elaine wed in 1995.
Gregory Benford, 63, a physics professor at the University of California, Irvine, and friend of Stephen's, says Hawking, who has round-the-clock care, "is a remarkable, self-propelled character. I would really doubt anyone could put anything over on Stephen Hawking." Even so, Jane, who married Hellyer Jones in 1997 but kept Hawking's name, says she was "almightily relieved" to hear of the investigation. "At last," she says, "somebody is taking this situation seriously."

A Note on Long-Memory in Population and Economic Growth
We show that long memory in economic growth occurs due to the existence of stochastic memory in population growth. Conventional stationary assumption of population growth in economic growth models is relaxed and convergence properties of slowly decaying demographic shocks are examined in light of population and economic policies.

Pitching was one of the biggest problems for the New York Mets during the 2011 season. They will gladly welcome Johan Santana back to their starting rotation, but they will need more help than that.
The Mets will go after starting pitchers this year, but they will have a a small budget, especially if they resign Jose Reyes.
For the second straight year the Mets may need to go after a few low-risk/high-reward starters, and here are three they should consider targeting.

Middlebourne, W.Va. (AP) -- Tyler County schools are back in business with improved attendance since taking a few days off to recover from swine flu.
The Wetzel-Tyler Health Department closed the schools on Monday and Tuesday, with the Veterans day holiday providing an additional day to recover from rampant illness.
The four county schools logged huge absentee rates before the break, with one elementary school reporting nearly 40 percent of students absent last week.
The health department's Dorothy Lockett says absentee rates have dropped at all schools, among both staff and students.
There were 11 teachers out sick last Friday, but on Thursday only two couldn't make it to work.

When we contacted Netdropshipper they inform us by email 3 days later that the credit will be issued within 2 business days, well! it is well over 2 business days, but to this day no credit is on our account.
I contacted them again on 22 November 2005, they then emailed us back within 3 days with the following (these are the exact words from Netdropshipper, I have just cut and paste it from the email they sent me) 'Bank of America has increased their security features for business accounts. They are experiencing technical difficulties. At this time we cannot access online banking to view incoming wires. Unfortunately, we have to wait until we receive a statement of all wires by mail'
I have personally contacted bank of America and was informed that this was not the case. I have informed Netdropshipper of this and that was the last time I heard from them. They seemed to be avoiding me, they do not respond to any of my emails, my faxes or my phone calls. I then decided to file a complaint against Netdropshipper with the IFCC (Internet Fraud Complaint Centre)they are a part of the FBI, for internet Fraud.
Netdropshipper have proved themselves to be unprofessional, they have taken my money with no intention of paying me back, yet when I look I can see them advertised on most search engine, and if they are doing to others what they did to me, imagine the amount of money these people are stealing.
I have also contacted some of the companies they have advertised with and have informed them about Netdropshipper and also let them know that the IFCC are investigating them. All those who have been scammed, if you have not done this already, I suggest you do it immediately, file a complaint with IFCC against them so that they do not do this to others.
If a thief breaks into your house, and he is caught he has to pay the penalty according to law, why should Netdropshpper get away with it? LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, THE MORE PEOPLE WHO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST NETDROPSHIPPER THE BETTER.If you would like to find IFCC website, look under FBI.
I will not stop here if Netdropshipper wants to prove to us that they are not scammers, then I am waiting. I just can not leave it like this, too many people are being scammed and they are blatantly advertising goods, when it seems to me that the goods that they are advertising does not exist. If that is not fraud then what is?

Everyone Is Freaking Out About How Much This Olympic Archer Looks Like Leonardo DiCaprio
Leo DiCaprio enjoying some time off from acting to play archery in the Rio Olympics pic.twitter.com/WHsTEyTpCS
— tom mckenna (@tmckenna1) August 6, 2016
Today in the world of news that will never make an appearance on the front page of the New York Times but we're really glad happened anyway: Yet another Leonardo DiCaprio doppelganger has arisen! The latest and second greatest of the Leo look-alike tribe (Dane DeHaan is nothing to sniff at) is Brady Ellison, 27-year-old American Olympic archer.
Look at that form! CONGRATS @Brady_Ellison! pic.twitter.com/6Aj3vwxyqk
— U.S. Olympic Team (@TeamUSA) August 6, 2016
When Arizona-born Ellison, one of the world's top-ranked archers, claimed a silver medal at the team event Saturday, his expertly shot arrow pierced through the hearts of Titanic, Revenant and (to keep this brief) Martin Scorsese fans the world over. Ellison, who's often referred to as "The Prospector" due to his affinity for "finding gold," shares his Oscar-winning alter ego's intense stare, dashing goatee and killer bone structure — to a point. We have to admit the resemblance does fade somewhat once Ellis puts down his bow. (more…)

The Gleaner's Slumber Song (Walthew, Richard Henry)
It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

So, have you had gnocchi yet? No? Well, you better get on that.
Gnocchi are wonderful little chewy pasta pillows. They're light, fluffy, slightly chewy, and completely satisfying. Totally nosh-tastic. And they go with anything. Top them with red sauce, cheese, pesto, or just a simple garlic butter. Gnocchi are definitely going on my "must have in the freezer at all times" list (instructions for freezing at the end of the post).
Oh, and did I mention how simple they are? There are variations made with potato but since mashing potatoes is one of my all-time least favorite activities, I went for the ricotta version. The dough comes together in a matter of minutes then you just roll it out, cut it and pop it into boiling water. Once in the water they take less than five minutes to cook. SERIOUSLY.
One more thing…. (there are just so many good things to say about these little guys) You can totally take this recipe in a thousand directions. This recipe is for the most basic, plain flavor. You can add parmesan cheese, garlic powder, nutmeg, or other herbs. You can make gnocchi in a thousand flavors! I know I'm going to. You can look forward to many many gnocchi recipes in Budget Bytes future.
The pricing below is just for the gnocchi themselves since there are so many ways to eat them. They are pictured after being sauteed in garlic butter and topped with just a bit of cheese and parsley. OMG, just talking about them makes me want another bowl.
Easy Ricotta Gnocchi
- 1 (15 oz.) container ricotta cheese $1.99
- 1 large egg $0.18
- 1 tsp olive oil $0.04
- approx. 2 cups all-purpose flour $0.29
- ¾ tsp salt $0.05
- 10 cranks fresh cracked pepper $0.03
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, olive oil, egg, salt, and freshly cracked pepper.
- Add the flour, ½ cup at a time, until it forms a soft sticky dough (about 1.5 cups)
- Begin boiling a large pot of water. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead in about another ½ cup of flour or until the dough no longer sticks to your hands. The dough should still be very soft in texture.
- Divide the dough into six pieces. Roll each piece out into a rope about 1 inch thick. Cut the rope into 1 inch sections. If desired, roll each piece of dough on the back of a fork to give it a ridged texture.
- When the water is boiling vigorously, drop the dough pieces into the water. As the gnocchi boil they will begin to rise to the surface. Once all of them are floating on top, let them boil for about 30 seconds to one minute more to ensure thorough cooking. Drain in a colander.
- Top drained gnocchi with your favorite sauce or garlic butter, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!
Step By Step Photos
Start with the ricotta, olive oil, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl. I used part-skim ricotta but that's completely up to you.
Whisk them together until it's smooth…
Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until you have a soft dough. You'll need to use a spoon rather than a whisk to add the flour. I added about 1.5 cups before I got the soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead in just enough flour to make the dough not stick to your hands. I kneaded in about another 1/2 cup. The dough will still be very soft.
Start boiling the water at this point. Divide the dough into about 6 pieces and roll them into ropes about one inch wide. Cut the ropes into one inch sections. You can either boil the pasta as is at this point or you can roll it on the back of a fork for more texture.
This is what I mean by roll on the back of a fork. One side stays smooth and one side gets little ridges in it. Honestly, you can't see the texture much after thy puff up during cooking so you can skip this if you want to, but this is the classic gnocchi shape.
Once the water is boiling furiously, add the gnocchi. They will cool the water down considerably so make sure you have the heat on high…
As they cook they'll begin to float…
And when they're done they'll all be floating! I let them boil for about 30 seconds more after they are all floating just to make sure they're cooked through. I didn't want a raw flour taste.
Drain the gnocchi in a colander and then top with your favorite sauce! Or…
Melt some butter with minced garlic in the still warm pot.
Add the gnocchi and coat with the garlic butter. If you have a non-stick pan, you can turn the heat on and let the gnocchi get a little crispy on the edges. I tried to fry mine but they just stuck to the pot no matter how much oil I added… but they were still delicious.
Top with a little cheese and parsley. Mmmmmmmm.
Or top with your favorite red sauce… How did I live without gnocchi?!
To Freeze Your Gnocchi:
After shaping the gnocchi (and BEFORE boiling), place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and pop it in the freezer. After an hour in the freezer, transfer them to a zip lock bag and keep in the freezer 'till you're ready to eat them. To prepare from frozen, simply drop the frozen gnocchi in boiling water and boil until they float.

This was fantastic! I used a total of about 1 and 1/3 cups of flour. I saw a suggestion on another recipe that said to cook 1 gnocchi to check if it has the right bite to it for you. If not, add more flour. This was a great basic recipe, really easy and versatile I made a light cream sauce with bacon and parmesan and it was perfect. Thanks!
Thank you for the great recipe. I only had half a container of ricotta, so I had to adjust the recipe a bit, but it still turned out great. I topped it with pesto and some fried mushrooms and it made a delicious, and surprisingly easy, meal. Thanks so much for all of the great recipes you post. I'm a long time fan, but I don't usually comment.
I should have made a double batch. These are PHENOMENAL!!!!
I'm actually heading into the kitchen to make them again for lunch (a nice gnocchi soup this time).
This is the first time I've ever eaten gnocchi and i must say it is absolutely delicious.
Another winner! Mine didn't come out pretty like yours but they sure taste lovely. Ricotta is easily $6 here so I subbed cream cheese(99 cents, BIG difference), next time I'll try Neufatchel as it's the same cost as cream cheese here. No matter what creamy cheese you use, this is delicious.
I fried mine in a little butter, YUM! If you or someone you love needs to eat more calories on the cheap, this is it.
Hi Beth,
Just wanted to let you know I made these for dinner tonight & they turned out perfect. My husband & I really liked them a lot. Thank you so much. I will definitely be making them again.

About the VFH Residential Fellowship Program
Created in 1986, the VFH Residential Fellowship Program supports humanities scholars and writers whose work is intellectually stimulating, imaginative, and accessible to the public, promoting greater understanding of and access to the humanities. To date it is the only residential fellowship program among all fifty-five state humanities councils. Fellowship projects explore the humanities broadly, including history, literature, folklife, and historical and contemporary cultures. Fellows receive private office space in the VFH offices, located on a scenic property in Charlottesville, access to University of Virginia libraries and amenities, and the camaraderie and collective expertise of a cohort of other humanities scholars.
"For nearly twenty years, our Residential Fellowship Program has been a source of connection and discovery for humanities scholars and their audiences," says Rob Vaughan, VFH president. "VFH has helped more than 300 Fellows from Virginia and around the world complete research, publish books, and create exhibits and films."
Former Fellow Deborah A. Lee writes, "VFH is an invaluable hub for connecting scholars, encouraging and facilitating quality work, and even nourishing the hearts and souls of those engaged in it. What a marvelous and productive summer I had, thanks to the office space and support you provided to me and other Fellows."
VFH Residential Fellowships are open to faculty members in the humanities, independent scholars, and others working on projects in the humanities. The annual proposal deadline is December 1. For more information, please visit VirginiaHumanities.org/fellowships/.

February 22, 2013 – In the main event, Jose "Sniper" Pedraza (11-0, 7 KO) and Mexican Gerardo Zayas (21-19, 11 KO) both weighed 130 pounds for his bout, scheduled for 8 rounds.
"I feel good, still comfortable at 130, I saw my opponent in good condition, but no need to worry, Mexico and Puerto Rico make great wars and I'm prepared to face opponents like this, an opponent I do not know, but I prepared for it" said Pedraza, who is represented by Universal Promotions, Gary Shaw Productions and DiBella Entertainment.

COPS: Cold Case Killer Captured!
Posted August 14th, 2014 @ 4:39am
The Kent County Cold Case team has arrested 26 year old Teivariol Davnote-Darnell Moore of Saginaw, and have charged him with the murder of 56 year old William Peabody in 2009. Williams had been tired up in his home in what looked like a robbery. Using DNA police were able to tied the suspect to the crime. He admitted that they two had fought, and when he killed Peabody, he made it look like a robbery to throw police off.
Moore will be in court on the 26th.

The West Brunswick High School softball team beat South Columbus 11-1 Friday and clinched its first conference championship since the NCHSAA switched to fast pitch in the mid-1990s.
West entered the final game of the conference season tied for first with Whiteville. If Whiteville lost its game Friday night, West would be the outright champion.
On Senior Night, winning pitcher Carly White gave up seven hits in the five-inning game. She struck out six and walked no one. At the plate, she was 3-for-3 with a double and two RBIs.
BLADENBORO—The West Brunswick High School baseball team beat West Bladen 11-2 May 4 in a conference game.

Reliever Lorenzo Pigott gave up one hit in two innings and one earned run. He walked one and struck out three.
The West Brunswick High School junior varsity softball team completed a perfect JV season by beating South Columbus 13-2 Friday in Tabor City.

"Coach Davis and I are so proud of these young ladies," coach Mark Jones said. "They had a fantastic season.
The Brunswick County Senior Basketball League uses the Supply Elementary School gymnasium twice each week after school is dismissed. Bill Davis, from Boiling Spring Lakes, collected funds from the players and made a donation to Dwight Willis, the school's principal and asked him to select where the money was needed.
"We appreciate the basketball players' generosity and be assured the donation will be applied to a good cause," Willis said. "We expect to identify a home for the donation soon."
The First Tee of Brunswick County has some exciting news for all middle school and high school golfers in the area. Jason Cox, Carolinas Golf Association director of junior golf, will be at Cinghiale Creek on May 17 to conduct a golf rules seminar at 4:30 p.m. He will also have the Tarheel Youth Golf Association (TYGA) and Carolinas Golf Association (CGA) junior golf tournament schedules for 2010. So come on out and sharpen up on your golf rules.
The Ocean Ridge Ladies Golf Association (ORLGA) played its annual spring member- member tournament April 21 at Lion's Paw and April 26 at Panther's Run. Twenty six two-member teams competed over the two days in four different nine-hole formats.
The formats the first day were net of partners and better-ball of partners. Alternate shot and scramble were the formats for the second day. Prizes were awarded to the top eight teams with the lowest total net scores for all the formats.
The Beachcombers played at Lockwood Folly. Low gross: Randy Cogdill 84, Stu Cleveland 85. Low net: Cogdill, Reggie Auten 71. Team (four-man total net): Auten, Ed Kinney, Bill Cameron, Paul Michal.
The Beachcombers' golfer of the week was Dick Conley, who made a hole-in-one on the 135-yard second hole at Lockwood Folly. He used a 6-iron.
Canadians love Myrtle Beach, S.C., and the entire Grand Strand from Pawley's Island to Southport. Many visit annually. Some even own vacation homes here because playing golf in February is not an option in Ontario. When the snows fall and cold winds blow, the Carolina Coast seems like a veritable paradise.
The Grand Strand is often called the Golf Capital of the World. We have a year-round temperate climate, more than 100 great public golf courses. In addition, we have great restaurants, wonderful fishing, outstanding shopping and a fabulous beach.
Before I get into fishing reports and tales from near and far, let me remind you that the GPS Store Far Out Shoot Out—Tuna, Dolphin and Wahoo Rodeo Tournament starts this weekend.
The captains' meeting and dinner is Friday at Ocean Isle Fishing Center, and the eligible fishing days are this Saturday through the following Saturday, May 1. Choose one out of those eligible eight days to compete. The Far Out Shoot Out has been held annually for more than 15 years, and as in years past, great catches of tuna, dolphin and wahoo are expected.
The first keeper flounder of the season have shown up in our Brunswick County waters, and that means it is time to target the tasty flatfish for some fun action and fantastic meals. Flounder are a beloved food fish around here, and flounder fishing is an art unto itself.

The M-1, a two-man American mission, reaches Mars. The landing goes smoothly, but first one and then the other member of the crew is attacked and killed, suddenly and without warning. The mission controllers on Earth are baffled, and, three years later, the M-2, with a four-man crew, is sent with strict orders as to how to conduct extra-vehicular activity. Still, they start disappearing, slaughtered by an unseen attacker until there are only two left, straight-arrow mission commander Major Merritt (Adam West) and perpetual screw-up Captain Jack Buckley (Rudy Solari), who must figure out what killed these men. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

By Gabriel F. Cordero

"With my father Carlos who brought me to boxing and has always been a role model, my trainer Ismael Salas who I have known for many, many years, my promoter Ahmet Öner and my manager Tony Gonzalez who led me from my pro-debut to Las Vegas on the fast lane and the team of Top Rank who is doing a great job in putting together these wonderful shows I have the best team in my corner that a fighter can possibly have. But I also know that I wouldn't be where I am right now if I wouldn't work as hard as possible for my success." (more…)

Former IBF/WBA super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero (34-2, 23 KOs) of Panama and trainer Jeff Mayweather do a mit-hitting drill in Las Vegas where they are holding their training camp. Caballero may make his second consecutive appearance on HBO on November 27th in a televised featherweight co-feature at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Caballero is a very hungry fighter at this stage of his career and it shows in his work ethic. Caballero arrived in Las Vegas from Panama two months ago to begin training even though he did not have an official fight scheduled. "Celestino is looking very strong, sharp, and extremely fit. We are more than two months out for the fight and he is not far off of the fight weight already," said Mayweather. The main event will feature WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (51-5-1, 37 KOs) defending his titles against interim WBO lightweight champion Michael Katsidis (27-2, 22 KOs).

Maidana calls Khan liar, coward
By Team Maidana
After Amir Khan's ridiculous demands have frustrated all the efforts to reach an agreement and especially since he is tired of all the lies that Khan himself and his team have told to the media and boxing fans in the last few weeks, last night Marcos Maidana requested the World Boxing Association (WBA) to immediately call the fight to a Purse Bid.
"I got fed up with this Twitter-star. He is the biggest liar and coward I've ever seen. He said I was asking too much money for the fight. False. But if he has a problem with the money, I challenge him to make a winner-takes-it-all bout. But that's not his real problem. You wanna hear the latest news from him? Now he says I'm not his mandatory! So his lawyers are trying to get a way out of the fight with me," Maidana said.
"I've asked my team to proceed with the request for the WBA to call the fight to a Purse Bid. Once the Purse Bid has a winner the fight has to be made. Then we'll see who is lying here. Let's see for real who wants to fight and who does not. Trust me, Amir Con would relinquish his title rather than face me, "El Chino" added.
