Yesterday, the major U.S. indices dropped due to comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Thanks, Ben.
As is often the case when it comes to something like this, the explanation of exactly what ticked off investors varied a bit depending on what news source you turned to. Articles from both the Associated Press and Forbes magazine seemed to focus on Bernanke's less-than-cheery assessment of the economic recovery. Coverage from Bloombergand The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, honed in on the fact that the Fed chief said the banking body wouldn't be taking any additional stimulative actions right now.
What really spooked investors? I tend to lean towards the latter. It should be news to no one at this point that there is plenty of economic uncertainty. But the fact that the Fed isn't stepping in to turn up the voltage even further on its economic defibrillator probably has impatient investors stamping their feet.
If your blood pressure stayed level through this, I'd have to guess that one -- if not many -- of the following factors is working in your favor: You know the Fed isn't really going to be able to fix anything on its own, you are a level-eight Zen investor that never flinches during day-to-day fluctuations, or ...
You own the right stocks
The right stocks don't have to be ones insulated from the U.S. economy. Right now, I'm pretty happy owning industrial giant 3M (NYSE: MMM ) even though a sluggish U.S. economy will provide a drag on the company's industrial, transportation, consumer, and office business lines.
However, it certainly doesn't hurt to have at least a few stocks in your portfolio that yawn rather than shiver when newscasters start talking about our economic troubles.
One way to achieve this is to look overseas. Investors in China Mobile, for instance, should be much more concerned with issues like the state of Chinese economy, China Mobile's ability to sign up new cellular customers, and the country's regulatory changes. The action or inaction of Ben Bernanke should barely even register in that investment math.
Five nose-thumbers
For U.S. investors that want to stick closer to home though, there are also U.S.-based companies better positioned to ride out economic uncertainties. Here's a look at five of my favorites:
Forward P/E Ratio
Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT )
Pfizer (NYSE: PFE )
Altria (NYSE: MO )
Walgreen (NYSE: WAG )
Drug stores
Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS )
Source: Capital IQ, a Standard & Poor's company.
These stocks made the list for two reasons: First, the company has the ability to meet growth projections even without a robust economic recovery. Past that, I believe each could be a compelling investment opportunity right now.
Retail in general isn't the best place to be when the talk is about economic sluggishness -- particularly when the consumer is the heart of the problem. Wal-Mart is a standout in the retail sector, though, because of its laser-like focus on being the low-cost leader. For obvious reasons, this makes Walmart stores a key consumer destination during tough times. And if times do get better? Wal-Mart will probably lose some of the customers that traded down, but it should also see a bump in overall volume from its core customer base.
Though they're not primarily economic ones, Pfizer has some serious headwinds nonetheless. The company will have to deal with the loss of major drug patents in the coming years, including this year's expiration of Lipitor's patent. At the same time, it will have to navigate the new post-reform world of U.S. healthcare. Investors, though, have left Pfizer's stock for dead, and I think the current price tag leaves plenty of opportunity for investors with the patience to wait for the market to realize the company isn't terminal.
Looking at Altria, we don't have to go much further than Econ 101. Remember demand elasticity? Well, tobacco products are highly inelastic, and that lets Altria laugh in the face of recession. Need we say more? I don't think so.
Sales of prescription drugs are the bread and butter of Walgreen's business. In 2009, the company pulled in 65% of its total revenue from this. More than 95% of that business came via third-party sales, meaning that either a managed care organization, the government, or a private insurer paid for the prescription, rather than the consumer. What do you think that means for Walgreen's business when millions of Americans are newly insured under the health-care reform bill? Economic troubles or not, Walgreen at a 12-times forward earnings multiple looks like a steal to me.
If we were playing a round of "one of these things is not like the others," then Las Vegas Sands would definitely be the answer. The company is in an economically-sensitive sector, it has a huge earnings multiple, and growth projections seem downright outlandish. But Sands' inclusion is no mistake.
Unlike competitor MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM ) , Sands has been focusing on the overseas markets for its growth. By 2011, the company expects that 83% of its total adjusted property EBITDA will come from Asia. The company recently opened its massive Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore, and it has some impressive developments on Macau's Cotai Strip on deck. Sure, Sands is easily the riskiest of the bunch, but it presents a pretty compelling opportunity that is definitely not dependent on Ben Bernanke and his printing machines.
Do you have your eye on some other stocks that can defy the U.S. economy? Head down to the comments section and share your thoughts.
If Las Vegas Sands caught your eye, you may be interested in these tantalizing stocks that investors have been scared of.

To illustrate, let's assume that a company invested $100,000 on December 1 in a 6% $100,000 bond that pays $3,000 of interest on each June 1 and December 1. On December 31, the company will have earned one month's interest amounting to $500 ($100,000 x 6% per year x 1/12 of a year, or 1/6 of the semiannual $3,000). No interest will be received in December since it will be part of the $3,000 to be received on June 1. The $500 of interest earned during December, but not yet received or recorded as of December 31 is known as accrued income.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, accrued income is recorded with an adjusting entry prior to issuing the financial statements. In our example, there will need to be an adjusting entry dated December 31 that debits Interest Receivable (a balance sheet account) for $500, and credits Interest Income (an income statement account) for $500.

Saw this girl
Man, she rocked my world
Was the cutest girl that I've ever seen
Walked up to her
Gave her flowers
Man, you should have seen the look
That she gave me.
I asked her out
I though about
How great that this girl seems
I can't believe it
It's just so plain to see
I met the girl of my dreams.
She made my day
Thought about the way
She stole my fucking heart away.
What can I say
This girl is great
I went right home to masterbate.
This is all fate
We stayed up late
I can't even concentrate.
We seemed so tight
We talked all night
I can't believe it seemed so god damn right.
Girl of my dreams (x3)
We went out and
She seemed so great
Sex was the only thing to anticipate
Went back to my place
She's all in my face
The way her lips tasted was oh so great.
Should I care
Did it seem fair?
She went right for my underwear.
Then to my room
To do what I assume
Ended that perfect night with a boom.
Girl of my dreams (x3)
Then the truth came out
What she's all about
And how old
That she really is
Who she's been with
I can't believe it
Makes me fucking sick
What a stupid bitch!
Now I saw her
The girl who rocked my world
I can't believe how bad she treated me
Should've anticipated it
It's just so plain to see
The girl of my dreams...
She's only 13!
Girl of my dreams (x3)
Too bad she's only 13 years old

Descriptions du produit
There was no possibility of taking a walk that day. We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning; but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre, and a rain so penetrating, that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question.
I was glad of it; I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.
The said Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mamma in the drawing-room: she lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her (for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) looked perfectly happy. Me, she had dispensed from joining the group, saying, "She regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance; but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation that I was endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition, a more attractive and sprightly manner--something lighter, franker, more natural, as it were--she really must exclude me from privileges intended only for contented, happy little children."
"What does Bessie say I have done?" I asked.
"Jane, I don't like cavillers or questioners; besides, there is something truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that manner. Be seated somewhere; and until you can speak pleasantly, remain silent."
A small breakfast-room adjoined the drawing-room, I slipped in there. It contained a bookcase; I soon possessed myself of a volume, taking care that it should be one stored with pictures. I mounted into the window-seat: gathering up my feet, I sat crosslegged, like a Turk; and, having drawn the red moreen curtain nearly close, I was shrined in double retirement.
Folds of scarlet drapery shut in my view to the right hand; to the left were the clear panes of glass, protecting, but not separating me from the drear November day. At intervals, while turning over the leaves in my book, I studied the aspect of that winter afternoon. Afar, it offered a pale blank of mist and cloud; near, a scene of wet lawn and storm-beat shrub, with ceaseless rain sweeping away wildly before a long and lamentable blast.
I returned to my book--Bewick's History of British Birds: the letterpress thereof I cared little for, generally speaking; and yet there were certain introductory pages that, child as I was, I could not pass quite as a blank. They were those which treat of the haunts of sea-fowl; of "the solitary rocks and promontories" by them only inhabited; of the coast of Norway, studded with isles from its southern extremity, the Lindeness, or Naze, to the North Cape--
Where the Northern Ocean, in vast whirls,
Boils round the naked, melancholy isles
Of farthest Thule; and the Atlantic surge
Pours in among the stormy Hebrides.
Nor could I pass unnoticed the suggestion of the bleak shores of Lapland, Siberia, Spitzbergen, Nova Zembla, Iceland, Greenland, with "the vast sweep of the Arctic Zone, and those forlorn regions of dreary space--that reservoir of frost and snow, where firm fields of ice, the accumulation of centuries of winters, glazed in Alpine heights above heights, surround the pole, and concentre the multiplied rigours of extreme cold." Of these death-white realms I formed an idea of my own: shadowy, like all the half-comprehended notions that float dim through children's brains, but strangely impressive. The words in these introductory pages connected themselves with the succeeding vignettes, and gave significance to the rock standing up alone in a sea of billow and spray; to the broken boat stranded on a desolate coast; to the cold and ghastly moon glancing through bars of cloud at a wreck just sinking.
I cannot tell what sentiment haunted the quite solitary churchyard, with its inscribed headstone; its gate, its two trees, its low horizon, girdled by a broken wall, and its newly risen crescent, attesting the hour of eventide.
The two ships becalmed on a torpid sea, I believed to be marine phantoms.
The fiend pinning down the thief's pack behind him, I passed over quickly: it was an object of terror.
So was the black, horned thing seated aloof on a rock, surveying a distant crowd surrounding a gallows.
Each picture told a story; mysterious often to my undeveloped understanding and imperfect feelings, yet ever profoundly interesting: as interesting as the tales Bessie sometimes narrated on winter evenings, when she chanced to be in good humour; and when, having brought her ironing-table to the nursery-hearth, she allowed us to sit about it, and while she got up Mrs. Reed's lace frills, and crimped her nightcap borders, fed our eager attention with passages of love and adventure taken from old fairy tales and older ballads; or (as at a later period I discovered) from the pages of Pamela, and Henry, Earl of Moreland.
With Bewick on my knee, I was then happy: happy at least in my way. I feared nothing but interruption, and that came too soon. The breakfast-room door was opened.
"Boh! Madam Mope!" cried the voice of John Reed; then he paused: he found the room apparently empty.
"Where the dickens is she?" he continued. "Lizzy! Georgy! (calling to his sisters) Jane is not here: tell mamma she is run out into the rain--bad animal!"
"It is well I drew the curtain," thought I, and I wished fervently he might not discover my hiding-place: nor would John Reed have found it out himself; he was not quick either of vision or conception; but Eliza just put her head in at the door, and said at once: "She is in the window-seat, to be sure, Jack."
And I came out immediately, for I trembled at the idea of being dragged forth by the said Jack.
"What do you want?" I asked with awkward diffidence.
"Say, 'what do you want, Master Reed,' " was the answer. "I want you to come here"; and seating himself in an arm-chair, he intimated by a gesture that I was to approach and stand before him.
John Reed was a schoolboy of fourteen years old; four years older than I, for I was but ten; large and stout for his age, with a dingy and unwholesome skin; thick lineaments in a spacious visage, heavy limbs and large extremities. He gorged himself habitually at table, which made him bilious, and gave him a dim and bleared eye with flabby cheeks. He ought now to have been at school; but his mamma had taken him home for a month or two, "on account of his delicate health." Mr. Miles, the master, affirmed that he would do very well if he had fewer cakes and sweetmeats sent him from home; but the mother's heart turned from an opinion so harsh, and inclined rather to the more refined idea that John's sallowness was owing to over-application, and, perhaps, to pining after home.
John had not much affection for his mother and sisters, and an antipathy to me. He bullied and punished me; not two or three times in the week, nor once or twice in a day, but continually: every nerve I had feared him, and every morsel of flesh on my bones shrank when he came near. There were moments when I was bewildered by the terror he inspired, because I had no appeal whatever against either his menaces or his inflictions; the servants did not like to offend their young master by taking my part against him, and Mrs. Reed was blind and deaf on the subject: she never saw him strike or heard him abuse me, though he did both now and then in her very presence; more frequently, however, behind her back.
Habitually obedient to John, I came up to his chair: he spent some three minutes in thrusting out his tongue at me as far as he could without damaging the roots: I knew he would soon strike, and while dreading the blow, I mused on the disgusting and ugly appearance of him who would presently deal it. I wonder if he read that notion in my face; for, all at once, without speaking, he struck suddenly and strongly. I tottered, and on regaining my equilibrium retired back a step or two from his chair.
"That is for your impudence in answering mamma a while since," said he, "and for your sneaking way of getting behind curtains, and for the look you had in your eyes two minutes since, you rat!"
Accustomed to John Reed's abuse, I never had an idea of replying to it: my care was how to endure the blow which would certainly follow the insult.
"What were you doing behind the curtain?" he asked.
"I was reading."
"Show the book."
I returned to the window and fetched it thence.
"You have no business to take our books; you are a dependant, mamma says; you have no money; your father left you none; you ought to beg, and not to live here with gentlemen's children like us, and eat the same meals we do, and wear clothes at our mamma's expense. Now, I'll teach you to rummage my bookshelves: for they are mine; all the house belongs to me, or will do in a few years. Go and stand by the door, out of the way of the mirror and the windows."
I did so, not at first aware what was his intention; but when I saw him lift and poise the book and stand in act to hurl it, I instinctively started aside with a cry of alarm: not soon enough, however; the volume was flung, it hit me, and I fell, striking my head against the door and cutting it. The cut bled, the pain was sharp: my terror had passed its climax; other feelings succeeded.
"Wicked and cruel boy!" I said. "You are like a murderer--you are like a slave-driver--you are like the Roman emperors!"
I had read Goldsmith's History of Rome, and had formed my opinion of Nero, Caligula, &c. Also I had drawn parallels in silence, which I never thought thus to have declared aloud.
"What! what!" he cried. "Did she say that to me? Did you hear her, Eliza and Georgiana? Won't I tell mamma? but first--"
He ran headlong at me: I felt him grasp my hair and my shoulder: he had closed with a desperate thing. I really saw in him a tyrant: a murderer. I felt a drop or two of blood from my head trickle down my neck, and was sensible of somewhat pungent suffering: these sensations for the time predominated over fear, and I received him in frantic sort. I don't very well know what I did with my hands, but he called me "Rat! rat!" and bellowed out aloud. Aid was near him: Eliza and Georgiana had run for Mrs. Reed, who was gone upstairs; she now came upon the scene, followed by Bessie and her maid Abbot. We were parted: I heard the words--
"Dear! dear! What a fury to fly at Master John!"
"Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion!"
Then Mrs. Reed subjoined: "Take her away to the red-room, and lock her in there." Four hands were immediately laid upon me, and I was borne upstairs.
Chapter Two
I resisted all the way: a new thing for me, and a circumstance which greatly strengthened the bad opinion Bessie and Miss Abbot were disposed to entertain of me. The fact is, I was a trifle beside myself; or rather out of myself, as the French would say. I was conscious that a moment's mutiny had already rendered me liable to strange penalties, and, like any other rebel slave, I felt resolved, in my desperation, to go all lengths.
"Hold her arms, Miss Abbot: she's like a mad cat."
"For shame, for shame!" cried the lady's-maid. "What shocking conduct, Miss Eyre, to strike a young gentleman, your benefactress's son! Your young master."
"Master! How is he my master? Am I a servant?"
"No; you are less than a servant, for you do nothing for your keep. There, sit down, and think over your wickedness."
They had got me by this time into the apartment indicated by Mrs. Reed, and had thrust me upon a stool: my impulse was to rise from it like a spring; their two pair of hands arrested me instantly.
"If you don't sit still, you must be tied down," said Bessie. "Miss Abbot, lend me your garters; she would break mine directly."
Miss Abbot turned to divest a stout leg of the necessary ligature. This preparation for bonds, and the additional ignominy it inferred, took a little of the excitement out of me.
"Don't take them off," I cried; "I will not stir."
In guarantee whereof, I attached myself to my seat by my hands.
"Mind you don't," said Bessie; and when she had ascertained that I was really subsiding, she loosened her hold of me; then she and Miss Abbot stood with folded arms, looking darkly and doubtfully on my face, as incredulous of my sanity.
"She never did so before," at last said Bessie, turning to the Abigail.
"But it was always in her," was the reply. "I've told missis often my opinion about the child, and missis agreed with me. She's an underhand little thing: I never saw a girl of her age with so much cover."
Bessie answered not; but ere long, addressing me, she said:
"You ought to be aware, miss, that you are under obligations to Mrs. Reed: she keeps you: if she were to turn you off you would have to go to the poorhouse."
I had nothing to say to these words: they were not new to me: my very first recollections of existence included hints of the same kind. This reproach of my dependence had become a vague singsong in my ear; very painful and crushing, but only half intelligible. Miss Abbot joined in:
"And you ought not to think yourself on an equality with the Misses Reed and Master Reed, because missis kindly allows you to be brought up with them. They will have a great deal of money and you will have none: it is your place to be humble, and to try to make yourself agreeable to them."
"What we tell you is for your good," added Bessie, in no harsh voice: "you should try to be useful and pleasant, then, perhaps, you would have a home here; but if you become passionate and rude, missis will send you away, I am sure."
"Besides," said Miss Abbot, "God will punish her: He might strike her dead in the midst of her tantrums, and then where would she go? Come, Bessie, we will leave her: I wouldn't have her heart for anything. Say your prayers, Miss Eyre, when you are by yourself; for if you don't repent, something bad might be permitted to come down the chimney and fetch you away."

Ce qui étonne dans Jane Eyre c'est qu'on n'a pas l'histoire de jeunes filles belles et intelligentes qui ont quelques menus problèmes et épousent finalement des jeunes gens beaux, intelligents et riches qui y mettent fin. D'abord dans "Jane Eyre" tout le monde est moche. Les top models (comme Mlle Ingram) ont des rôles très secondaires et sont malmenés par l'auteur. Jane est petite et frêle et elle n'est pas particulièrement jolie. Rochester est, selon Jane elle-même, laid. Ensuite quand on a des problèmes c'est pour de vrai. Jane est orpheline, malaimée par sa tante, envoyée dans un pensionnat sordide et se retrouve à mendier pour tenter de survivre. Le sort envoie épouses superfétatoires et poutres enflammées pour achever d'abattre les protagonistes. Mais, telle Job, Jane ne perd pas courage.
Les aspects gothiques du livre sont souvent inutiles et ridiculement grandioses. On aurait pu se passer de ce mélange des genres. Les personnages sont souvent bavards et ont le don de la répétition.Lire la suite ›
L'ouvrage est pourtant dépourvu de mièvrerie, le style de l'auteure est élégant et raffiné, sans affectation, et l'histoire, même si elle comporte quelques invraisemblances, demeure attachante et n'a pas pris de rides. De plus, la lecture de ce livre reste tout à fait abordable aux anglophones "moyens", ce qui ne gâte rien.
L'ouvrage, sous certains aspects, peut être comparé aux romans de Hardy (Tess Of The d'Urbervilles, par exemple), mais Jane Eyre reste maîtresse de son destin et de sa vie, alors que Tess ne réussira pas à infléchir les siens.
Ce livre, je l'ai lu il y a déjà quelques années, mais il est resté mon préféré.
Charlotte Brontë a réussi là son plus beau roman. Je conseille à tous de le lire, mais surtout aux femmes. Car c'est avant tout une histoire de femme.
il contient plus de 600 pages mais a chaque fois que je l'ai lu, il ne restait pas plus de 3 jours entre mes mains.Depuis ce livre un sentiment d'insatisfaction regne en moi car je n'ai jamais retrouve un livre aussi fort. Charlotte Bronte sait parler aux coeurs intelligents, et elle a su creer une atmosphere qui permet au lecteur de se couper du monde exterieur et d'entrer dans l'ere victorienne du 18-19eme siecle.
C'est un "MUST" pour les adorateurs de la litterature anglaise et pour les autres je vous le conseille vivement, c'est un livre qu'on devrait avoir lu au moins une fois dans sa vie si on ne veut pas rater le meilleur de la litterature.

The Le Moyne College Boot and Buskin Theater Group offers a drama that mines a significant historical tragedy from the 1920's and 30's that became known as the Radium Dial Worker Tragedy.
"These Shining Lives", a contemporary drama by Melanie Marnich and directed by Le Moyne's former Chair of Visual and Performing Arts, William S. Morris, is a rather somber, and seemingly slow moving piece as seen in preview Thursday evening. Its run time of one hour, forty minutes, without intermission, seemed to accentuate the pace.
This stage rendition of real events that took place in Chicago and Ottawa, Illinois between 1922 and 1938 focuses on real-life character Catherine Donohue (Talia Hollander) who took a job at the Radium Dial Company painting faces on watches and clocks with radioluminescent paint. Hollander, herself, is radiant in the lead role as a woman searching, not only for her own voice, but also for a sense of worth and independence.
The continuous exposure to the paint eventually caused sickness and death, not only to Donohue, but to several others, as well. The lawsuit that was brought forth in 1938 involved eight young women who had worked with Donohue. Donohue passed away from the horrible effects of the exposure in 1938.
This job, which involved a steady hand painting faces and numbers on the time pieces, would have taken its toll regardless of any primitive precautions due to the radioactive exposure on a daily basis, but the situation was further exacerbated by the "approved" method of maintaining a sharp brush tip for the fine work- continuously honing their brushes by placing the brush between their lips to keep the tips sharp.
Dramatically, the larger contingent of real women is represented by three characters in addition to Donohue. They are Frances, Charlotte, and Pearl played by Jessie Gherardi, Jade Taggart, and Lauren Slawson, respectively. The very real exchanges among the women as they work are well done and believable, and offer comic relief to some obvious tensions.
Void of Le Moyne's typical, decorous staging, the play relies on its rather sparse, nonetheless lyrical, dialogue to hold our attention. But that is not done without dramatic rationale. The visuals of the play rightly reflect the tragedy that teeters as time passes. We are constantly reminded of "time' as a functioning entity for the tragedy to unfold as we gaze at a reflective (no coincidence here), large clock face painted on the stage floor.
In addition, the bare essentials of a factory workbench upstage and the Donohue's kitchen downstage further the necessity for sparse but meaningful language. The actors, including Mike Chiappone (Donohue's husband, Tom) and Devon Barrett (Mr. Reed, the women's boss) offer typical male viewpoints from loving, sympathetic husband to kindly, yet disingenuous boss who is really more interested in watch face output than he is in his employees' health.
Christian Cobb and James Barcomb round out the cast as representatives from the medical and legal sides of the equation, at times, seasoning the piece with some humor.
Much like similar latter day cases such as those involving Karen Silkwood (shoddy nuclear plant practices) and Erin Brockovich (contaminated water and public utilities), the story of Catherine Donohue and her cohorts underscores not only the effects of unregulated industry turning a blind eye for profit at the expense of public health, but also the plight of women daring to rise up to be heard above the din of a male-dominated power structure.
Details: Length of Performance: 1 hour, forty minutes, no intermission.
Attendance: Nearly full house for preview.
Family Guide: Suitable for high school-age and older. Probably too serious and deliberate for younger kids.
Le Moyne College's Boot and Buskin Theater Group presents "These Shining Lives" February 17 (opening), 18, 23, 24, and 25 at 8:00 pm in the W. Carroll Coyne Center for the Performing Arts, Le Moyne College, Salt Springs Road, Syracuse. For tickets and information: 315.445.4523 and www.lemoyne.edu

The sleek, high-speed catamaran was expected to arrive at 9:30 a.m. this morning at its Muskegon terminal on the south shore of Muskegon Lake in the Lakeside commercial district, just like it has since every spring, summer and fall since 2004.
At that time, the ferry re-established cross-lake service Muskegon hadn't experienced in three decades. And it raised the community's hopes for an improved image and expanded tourism industry.
In 2004, after the ferry's first run, area industrialist Roger Andersen noted that, "Not only will this (ferry) bring money to Muskegon but it will change our image. That makes all the difference in the world. It will give Muskegon the image of a place on the move."
According to area tourism officials many of those expectations have been met. Lake Express opened Muskegon — and Michigan — to a whole new market of visitors. With the ferry's development, Muskegon and the state became a three- or four-hour journey for the citizens of Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
Once a few passengers arriving from Milwaukee got a look at Muskegon's beaches, the channel, the USS Silversides and Muskegon Lake from the ferry, they were ready to return for a Muskegon visit. Likewise, when ferry passengers from Michigan drove into town.
Slowly, Muskegon is moving from being Lake Express' Michigan port to becoming a ferry passenger destination, all because a group of investors believed in what the city had to offer and were willing to take a risk.
So, head on down to the channel this weekend and watch our ship sail in.

There's nothing like a good cookie.
And there may never be a better time to enjoy a really good cookie than when your a soldier on patrol in Afghanistan.
Just ask Army Pfc. Timothy L. Brodeur, 19, of Belchertown, whose platoon was on patrol in Afghanistan recently when he parceled out a bag of star-shaped sugar cookies from Kristina's Kafe and Bakery in Belchertown.
Bakery owner Kristina G. Weibel's cookies were a hit with the troops in the 101st Airborne Division and no doubt a sweet reminder of the joys of home.
"Sometimes something little like that can really make their day. Nothing like a cookie from home," said Pvt. Brodeur's mother Carla L. Brodeur.
Our hats are off to Weibel and Carla Brodeur, and we hope they continue sending those cookies overseas where they help ease the soldiers burden.
Still, we're waiting for the day when the troops return safely, and can enjoy a good dinner. Now that's what we call comfort food.
But until that day comes, we hope Weibel keeps sending those cookies to Afghanistan.

Zebra-striped lights and leopard print patterns may not dance around the Detroit Renaissance Center's towers, but city officials are looking into revamping a zoning ordinance to allow vibrant multi-colored bands to shimmy and shimmer atop the downtown building.
Detroit's Planning Commission and the RenCen's property manager are working to amend the city code so that multi-colored bands can join the recently added solid rings of green, blue and red.
General Motors Corp. owns the towers that are a centerpiece of Detroit's skyline. It's also GM's world headquarters.
A spokeswoman for Councilwoman Saunteel Jenkins says the property manager applied in March to operate the bands, which draw attention to the city's riverfront, especially at night. Jehan Crump-Gibson says a request was made last month to jazz up the display.

Huskies humble Orange women
By Chris Wagner
January 17, 2009, 8:18PM
Hartford, Conn. - In a chippy game that apparently spilled over after the clock expired, All-American Maya Moore scored 40 points to lead No. 1 Connecticut in a 107-53 demolition of Syracuse on Saturday before 13,086 at Hartford's XL Center.
UConn, tuning up for a big showdown with second-ranked North Carolina on Monday, knocked down 18 3-pointers - 10 by Moore - during the rout. Needing only 29 points to reach the 1,000-point mark, Moore, a sophomore, reached that milestone faster than any player in UConn's illustrious history.
But some of the shine from Moore's record night was tarnished by accusations of excessive physical play during the game and unsportsmanlike behavior when players went to shake hands after the contest.
UConn coach Geno Auriemma was asked by several Connecticut and Big East reporters about whether he was tripped by SU player Nicole Michael during the post-game tradition and whether they exchanged heated words. Auriemma said he may have stumbled when he stepped on Michael's foot, but denied being intentionally tripped. (See the ESPN video of the incident).
"I wish I could tell you that there was more to it than that, but kids do funny things when they lose," Auriemma said. "Everybody's different. They were pissed that they lost by 50 and they didn't want to have any part of shaking hands. None, zero. Not interested at all."
Syracuse coach Quentin Hillsman said he had no comment on the situation because he did not see it happen or hear of it happening (see the video). He said he would discuss it with Michael, who was not available for post-game interviews.
Despite the lopsided nature of the game, it was a physical contest with a lot of bodies flying and jaws flapping. It resulted in two technical fouls - one against Auriemma and one against SU's Juanita Ward.
"They had an interesting game plan," said Auriemma, admitting that while most Big East games are physical, this one was far chippier than normal. "I don't know quite what to make of it, but obviously it didn't work, whatever it was they were trying to do. I know the players were coming back saying it was a little bit different than most games, that there were things going on out on the floor that was a little out of the ordinary."
On the other hand, Auriemma was still playing his three All-American candidates with 6 minutes, 52 seconds remaining, despite leading by 58 points (96-38). Two of those players, Moore and Renee Montgomery, said the game was a typically hard-fought Big East contest, similar to battles with Louisville and Rutgers.
Hillsman accepted the defeat, saying it proved to be a barometer of how far his team has to go before it can achieve the national championship stature that Connecticut has attained five times.
"It's good for us. It's good for our program," said Hillsman, whose team gave UConn all it could handle last year before losing 65-59 in the Carrier Dome. "I think that what happens is sometimes you start to read the press and you start to believe it a little bit too soon. People are talking about how we are an up and coming team and we're this and we're that. We are a good basketball team and they're a very good basketball team. Our goal is to win national championships just like they win them. So for me this is good; this is a good barometer on where we need to be."
Connecticut never trailed and was in control from start to finish. Freshman Caroline Doty was the star of the first half, making four 3-pointers in the first six minutes of the game to give the Huskies a 22-9 edge.
Unfortunately for the Huskies, the young standout injured her left knee while falling out of bounds on a fastbreak play just before halftime. She was to undergo an MRI after the game on the same knee that sustained an ACL rupture last year when she was in high school.
With Doty gone and UConn up 48-28 at halftime, Moore took over. She made 23 of her 40 points after intermission, making 6-of-9 shots from beyond the arc on wide-open looks. She reached her milestone 1,000-career-point mark with 5:20 remaining and was greeted by a thunderous standing ovation from the crowd.
In addition to Moore's career-high 40, Tina Charles scored 20, Doty 17 and Renee Montgomery 14 for UConn.
Syracuse received 15 from Chandrea Jones, 11 from Michael and eight apiece from Erica Morrow and Juanita Ward.
The loss drops SU to 13-5 overall and 2-3 in the Big East. UConn remains undefeated at 17-0 and 4-0 with its big date against North Carolina in Chapel Hill on Monday.
As for the bottom line in the SU-UConn game, both coaches agreed it came down to the Huskies - particularly Moore - getting a lot of room to shoot. It resulted in the Huskies making 52.1 percent of their shots for the game to 30.9 percent for Syracuse.
"Maya is obviously a great player," Hillsman said. "On our defensive rotations she got open looks, and we are all college athletes and anyone can hit an open shot. Not to take anything away from her, she's a great player."
"Was I surprised about today? No," Auriemma said. "We're really good and they gave us a lot of open shots."

From David Remnick's New Yorker piece last month about Putinism in contemporary Russia:
Putin does not like being lectured to, does he? I asked.
A smile returned to the spokesman's lips. "Actually, I was coming here in the car listening to the radio," he said. "Do you know what was the first item on the news? The State Department of the United States expressed its gravest concern about the policy in Russia toward gays!" Peskov was referring to proposed legislation in St. Petersburg that would prohibit "propaganda of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality, and transgenderism to minors." He was in stitches now. "I thought, What is the State Department of the United States doing? With their national debt! With their collapsing economy! With a leak of industry in the country because everything is in a financial bubble! With a nightmare in Afghanistan! With a nightmare in Iraq! With a nightmare in the global economy! And they have a deep concern about gays in Russia. Ha! Ha! So I was really in a very good mood because of this!"
For some reason, this put me in mind of the stance against gay marriage taken by the peak-oil apocalypticist James Howard Kunstler, which he acknowledges is unusual for someone of his demographic (Democrat, Boomer, and, he might have said, ardent secularist and resident of New York State). Why has he taken this view? He explains, in part, here:
I don't have empirical proof, but I suspect that unsettling such an age-old and fundamental social arrangement will produce strange unanticipated consequences that we are not prepared for. I don't believe gay marriage is a genuine social justice issue. I think it is a bid for a kind of broad social approbation which does not require ritual enactment in law, and would be socially mischievous to pursue. Civil unions would cover the necessary legal issues. Otherwise, it is a case of unwarranted relativism, a Boomer weakness. Not all conditions or states of being in this world are the same. Some things are on the margins because they are marginal.What fascinates me in the debate is the narcissism of Boomers, males especially, who advocate so earnestly in favor of gay marriage. Is it really about the law and social relations, or is it about making yourself feel good? Is it just more posturing for moral brownie points, for approval? Is your job and social position or maybe even sense of yourself at stake if you have a differing view?

Life is good: Jake's Kirkland store opens in downtown Kirkland
Life is good for Regan and Marty Montano.
Life is so good, in fact, that the couple just opened their new store, Jake's Kirkland, in downtown Kirkland on Friday.
The store carries the Life is good brand clothing and accessories that feature Jake, a charming stick figure character with the perpetual infectious grin.
Jake's Kirkland is located at 125 Lake St. South, Kirkland.
Along with his dog Rocket, Jake strives to spread the power of optimism worldwide one smile at a time. The company's motto, "Do what you like, like what you do" really resonated with the Woodinville couple.
Marty, an accountant, and Regan, a stay-at-home mom and volunteer coach for their three sons, both were doing what they liked. The problem was that they were not able to do what they liked together.
"Reeg and I enjoy each other's company so much, it seemed like such a shame to be apart for so many hours every day," said Marty.
Over the years, they discussed numerous potential business ventures, but none of them felt quite right.
At a recent family reunion, Regan discovered that her nephew, Brett O'Hara, had become an avid runner. She decided to buy him a certain Life is good shirt, one with a graphic of Jake running.
"I couldn't wait to get over to the Life is good store in U Village. Marty and I drove over, and I was devastated to discover that it was no longer there," Regan recalled.
While unwinding on the back deck of their home later that evening, Regan lamented the store's closing. Her friend, Kim, then put forth the following suggestion: "Why don't you and Marty open your own Life is good store?"
The Montanos realized that they had found what had eluded them for so many years. Or rather, Jake had found them.
Regan said: "What an amazing country we are fortunate to live in, where an idea hatched on a back deck in mid-August can become a beautiful, almost surreal reality in less than three months' time. Marty and I are so humbled and honored to have this opportunity to spread good vibes here in the Pacific Northwest!"
Jake's Kirkland is what is called a genuine neighborhood shoppe ("GNS"), as opposed to the Life is good company-owned stores. Jake's Kirkland became the 90th Life is good GNS in the country, and is the only one in the State of Washington.
The store is simply a happy place to be. Bright, beautiful colors blend with fun, witty graphics that can't help but put a smile on your face. Everywhere you turn, Jake is staring back at you with his shades on and his wide, infectious grin.
"One of my all-time favorite Life is good-isms is: 'We will never know all the good a simple smile can do," said Regan.
For more information about the store, visit www.jakeskirkland.com or call (425) 242-0867.

|[TRLog] Yaesu RIT control
|firstname.lastname@example.com (Ernesto Grueneberg)
|Wed, 28 May 1997 15:44:46 -0300
Hello One of the main reasons I use TRlog is to control RIT with the keyboard, so last weekend when I was using a FT990 I felt really bad, since I was unable to control the RIT. So I thought a possible solution could be using split intead. This is how this could work. Set A=B, enable Split and then use Shift key to control one of the VFOs. To prevent stay in split mode when you go S&P, when you change to that mode, the split function could be disabled. What do you think??

County players invited to play for Tantramar Marsh Hawks
Lacrosse continues to grow locally
AMHERST?- The sport of Lacrosse is growing every year and if you want to get in on the fun now's the time to make your move.
The Tantramar Marsh Hawks Lacrosse Association will soon be holding its registration for the 2008 season at the Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre in Sackville for kids ages eight to 18.
"We had about 100 kids register last year and I anticipate as many, if not more, this year," Tantramar Marsh Hawk coach Eric Sloan said.
Not only did about 20 Amherst kids play last year but also, "we had kids from Springhill and Parrsboro as well," Sloan added.
The kids play in the Moncton league with eight and nine-year-olds playing in the initiation program, while 10 and 11-year-olds play peewee. Then there is bantam, midget and intermediate. Intermediate is for 17 and 18-year-olds.
The initiation program is held one day a week.
"In initiation we teach them the basics of the game," Sloan said. "It's more of a fun thing where they get to learn without the competition."
Last year the Tantramar Marsh Hawks fielded two teams in both peewee and bantam and one team in midget.
Lacrosse mom and organizer Holly MacDonald said it's a great game to get your kids involved in.
"My son's been playing lacrosse for the last three years" MacDonald said. "It's has definitely become a more popular sport since he first started."
When her son began playing three years ago they just practised, but now there are seven eight midget teams he plays against.
Last year each division had about eight teams, with the Marsh Hawks playing two games a week, one in Sackville and one at the Moncton 4Plex. They also try to practice one day a week in Sackville.
"It's a great schedule," MacDonald said. "The kids play on the concrete surface so it's important to have a good pair of sneakers,"
Other equipment players need is a lacrosse stick and ball, a helmet, shoulder pads and rib cage padding.
It's a great sport," MacDonald said. "There's a lot of skill involved but the kids pick it up quickly."
Besides learning about passing, balance and angles MacDonald said it's quite a physical game.
"The trick is to try and knock the ball off the opponents stick," MacDonald said. "But when you come into contact with a player, you can't just push them with your stick, you have to contact the player with both of your hands while they are holding the stick. So your not coming at them at full force."
Cost of registration is $125 for returning members and $75 for new members.
"The cost difference is an incentive for first time players to join," MacDonald said.
Registration is Wednesday, April 9, and Thursday, April 10, from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Sega Sues Level-5 Over Stylus Controls, Also Goes After Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft
Sega's lawsuit against Level-5 over the controls in Inazuma Eleven has also gotten Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft thrown into the mix for breaking Sega's patents.
Level-5 argues that the stylus control patent was granted back in 2009 while the Inazuma Eleven games were released in 2008 which makes Sega's lawsuit worthless. Sega has fought back by saying that the patent was filed back in 2004 and was made retroactive to cover that time period.
Sega has also announced that they are going after Nintendo over the releases of the Nintendo DS, 3DS and Wii U for all using stylus controls when Sega had the idea first. The suit also covers many games and ideas including Super Mario 64 DS, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and the Miiverse drawing concept.
Sony is also being targeted by Sega through the finger control patent that was broken when the PlayStation Vita was released. The suit lists both the front-facing touch screen as well as the rear touch pad being integral to the case. This suit also covers many games that utilize touch controls including LittleBigPlanet, Little Deviants, and Sound Shapes.
Not through with the major consoles players yet, Sega has also named Microsoft in the suit by saying that the new Surface tablet which can play games has also broken their patents. While Sega has not listed any games on the Surface under the suit, they have listed both the Surface and Surface Pro as major violators of Sega's patents.
We should have been the Apple of the gaming industry. The Dreamcast was far too advanced for its time and the masses rejected it when the three major console developers dumbed down everything about gaming and closed everyone's eyes to the innovation of the Dreamcast. We took a page from our idol and took it upon ourselves to rectify a wrong through these lawsuits. Our ideas have been abused by these companies for years and its time that we claim what is rightfully ours.
None of the three console companies or Level-5 has commented on Sega's revised lawsuit. Tim Cook, Apple CEO, says that he is proud that Sega is following Apple's course of action and advised Sega to also go after Samsung.

One of the first things I noticed when walking the field Saturday afternoon at Commonwealth Stadium during the final stages of Alabama's 38-20 victory over Kentucky is that the "Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer" cheer was missing.
A few fans tried to start one, but it lacked punch ... because the UA band wasn't there. As it turned out, the Crimson Tide's traveling party to Lexington included the team, officials, cheerleaders and mascot Big Al, but no members of the "Million Dollar Band."
It's a topic addressed in today's Alabama notebook.
First off, the band will return for Saturday's game at Ole Miss, but Kentucky may not be the only road game missed this season. Alabama's Nov. 14 game at Mississippi State is not currently included on the band's travel schedule, a UA spokesperson confirmed this week. Auburn has been included.
The band's travel is the decision of athletic director Mal Moore "after consultation with the band director and the athletics staff," a UA official said.
Like many universities, UA has cut back on expenses during tough economic times. School officials, however, would not confirm that finances were the reason the band did not make the trip to Kentucky.

Update: Closer inspection reveals two baby swans; two eggs remain
Manlius swans Faye and Manny are the parents of four babies.
Four of the seven eggs in the nest hatched sometime Monday night, said biologist Michael Bean, who will determine the babies' sex this afternoon.
Earlier today, one of the babies rested on Faye's back, Bean said.
The babies are expected to follow their parents into the water as early as Wednesday, Bean said. People who learned they might have babies on Mother's Day have been showing up at the pond hoping for a glimpse of the newly hatched cygnets.
Bean will determine their sex and also pinion the swans, which means clipping the outer part of their wings so they can't fly away. That is required by law so the birds can't escape into the wild, Bean said.

Is it a little gimmicky to ask people around the world to turn off their lights at 8:30 p.m. on March 26 as a stand against climate change? Sure. But the Australian folks who started Earth Hour four years ago were just trying to raise awareness. It's not clear how Portland is participating this year but I do know the The Nines hotel will be dimming the lights in its 8th floor lobby as well as its restaurants in a nod to the hour.
"This is a city that was environmentally conscious before it was popular, cool and hip," said a spokesman for The Nines.
It's not clear how popular, cool and hip Earth Hour is anymore since the Web site itself features one of its supporters, the associate editor of GQ Magazine Australia, admitting he doesn't care about climate change, "Actually, to be truthful, a couple of extra degrees wouldn't go unappreciated - cold weather is overrated."
(If that's the case, he might be interested to know NASA scientists recently announced that the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting at a rapidly accelerating pace, which should it continue, will be the number one contributor to sea level rise.)
And yet, some people are clearly threatened by Earth Hour. The Competitive Enterprise Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to limited government and free enterprise, sent out an today exhorting folks to celebrate the "Human Achievement Hour" by leaving their lights on at 8:30 p.m. March 26.

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
"Let my guitar friend do my request"
Let him sing me back home with a song I
And make my old memories come alive
And take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, "There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along?"
Let him sing me back home, with the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die

As the nation's housing market rebounds, foreclosures fell for the second straight year in 2012 amid signs of a recovering economy, but the pipeline of foreclosed homes could reverse the trend, according to according to RealtyTrac, an online marketplace for foreclosed properties.
RealtyTrac said 1.8 million U.S. properties received default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions in 2012, down 3 percent from 2011, and down 36 percent from the peak of 2.9 million properties with foreclosure filings in 2010.
Researchers found one in every 72, had at least one foreclosure filing during the year, down 1.45 percent in 2011 and off 2.23 percent in 2010. -RT>Foreclosure activity increased in 25 states last year, while 25 states saw a decrease in foreclosure activity.
But the backlog of foreclosures in some states due to court rulings that slowed lenders from seizing properties could lead to a jump in seized homes this year, RealtyTrac said.
"That could mean that although we are comfortably past the peak of the foreclosure problem nationally, 2013 is likely to be book-ended by two discrete jumps in foreclosure activity," said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac, in a statement. "We expect to see continued increases in judicial foreclosure states near the beginning of the year as lenders finish catching up with the backlogs in those states, and another set of increases in some non-judicial states near the end of the year as lenders adjust to the new laws and process some deferred foreclosures in those states."
Foreclosure activity in 2012 increased from 2011 in 25 states, including Massachusetts, where foreclosures were up 14 percent, New Jersey (55 percent), Florida (53 percent), Connecticut (48 percent), Indiana (46 percent), Illinois (33 percent) and New York (31 percent).
Foreclosures fell in 25 states including Nevada (57 percent), Utah (40 percent), Oregon (40 percent), Arizona (33 percent), California (25 percent) and Michigan (23 percent).
Mistral owner to open Fort Point restaurant
Restaurateur Seth Greenberg, the owner of Mistral in Boston's Back Bay, has been talking for some time about opening a "moderately priced French bistro" in the Fort Point section of Boston's Seaport. Now it has a name, an address and an opening date.
On Thursday, Grub Street reported the new, 240-seat, 8,500-square-foot restaurant will be called Bastille Kitchen, and it will open in September. The address is 49 Melcher St.
"Bastille Kitchen will be the destination dining anchor to Boston's Fort Point neighborhood that Pastis is to New York's Meatpacking District," Greenberg told Grub Street. Mistral's Mark Goldberg will run the kitchen.
Bastille Kitchen will be around the corner from celebrity chef Ming Tsai's planned new restaurant, Blue Dragon, a lunch and dinner spot with 70 seats at the corner of A Street and Melcher.
Aveo plans $50 million public stock offering
As the company hopes for approval this summer of its lead drug candidate to treat a kidney cancer, Aveo Pharmaceuticals Inc. is looking to raise $50 million in a public stock offering to help with pre-commercial marketing to physicians, according to CFO Dave Johnston.
The Cambridge biotech said in a statement that it has priced an underwritten public offering of 6.7 million shares, expected to close by Jan. 23, at $7.50 per share. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC will be the book-running manager for the offering, with RBC Capital Markets LLC and Canaccord Genuity Inc. acting as co-lead managers. Underwriters will have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1 million shares to cover over-allotments.
Johnston told Mass High Tech that the company ended 2012 with $160 million in cash, including a $15 million milestone payment from its Japanese partner, Astellas Pharma Inc. The extra $50 million will "provide a cushion," he said, which will last the company through about the middle of 2014, and will be used largely for communication and education efforts aimed at physicians in anticipation of the launch of tivozanib later this year. A new drug application was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration late last year, and the FDA's review of the candidate is expected to be completed by July 28.
Astellas, which is in charge of the European commercialization of the drug, plans to seek approval later this year, said Johnston.
The company has about 250 employees, said Johnston, following the elimination of 75 positions last October, mostly research jobs.
The company's planned move to a new, larger Kendall Square headquarters has already begun, with the commercial team having moved in last week. Throughout the year, the clinical team, and then the research team, will be moved over in stages, he said.
Columbia Labs to relocate to Boston area
Columbia Laboratories Inc., a maker of topical hormone products, plans to relocate operations to the Boston area to accommodate the company's CEO and newly hired CFO, who live in the area.
The company currently has about 12 employees at its current headquarters in Livingston, N.J. Columbia Labs will be looking to make some hires in the Boston-area, because some of its employees have chosen not to move with the headquarters. The company is still considering "several attractive pieces of real estate," according to spokeswoman Amy Raskopf, and has not made up its mind about whether to locate in Boston, Cambridge or a more far-flung suburb.
CEO Frank Condella has been commuting back and forth from Massachusetts to New Jersey for three years, and the company just hired CFO Jonathan Lloyd Jones, another local resident, who previously served in management positions at Cambridge-based Genzyme Corp. and two privately-held biotechnology firms.
"Frank has been a good sport for three years, and we want to keep him happy and not have to look for a new CEO," Raskopf said about the decision to move the company. The executive team and the SEC reporting team will be based in the Boston-area. The company also has one worker in Paris who manages supply chain.

...Nigella may be a 'domestic goddess' but as far as I am concerned, if you're stuck for a recipe, or you just need to know how to make a certain dish... perfectly, then there are three words - a mantra, if you will, that will save you every time...'DELIA IS GOD...' go on, repeat it a few times... now, see how comfortable it feels as it rolls around your tongue...
Her 'Compete Cookery Course' is the bible on my shelf of extensive cook books. Time and time again, when I tire of Nigel, or grow wearisome of Gordon, or become annoyed with Jamie, hers is the cookbook I turn to. It simply has everything in it and an answer for everything and if you follow it, to the letter, you cannot go wrong.
Leaving home to go to University was such a great time for me as it meant I could cook and experiment in my own kitchen and I think Delia made it easy for me to impress. My flatmates will tell you of the fun times we had in various kitchens, cooking up a storm of risottos, lasagnes, pies and roasts... with Delia as my guide I would bake and fry and griddle... they called me Domelia in homage to my heroine!
My scones are her scones.
I was good (and still am thank you) at making soups... all kinds of soups. It's funny because people seem to be so easily impressed by a bowl of soup and really they're so easy to make. Anyway, they were a staple in our student household for years.
It didn't always go well though... i think the word 'experiment' pretty much sums up a lot of the cooking...
...I was trying to impress a friend once with my culinary skills and wanted to cook a rich duck dish that i'd read about... only thing was that my friend was on the brink of turning vegetarian, and anything he could associate with a cute cartoon character was not going to work...so Daffy was definitely off the list!...now as you'll know, duck is really rich and fatty... all essential to the cooking process and also makes it good to cook with sweet, fruity flavours as they cut through the richness...so the recipe i'd found for duck with red grapes sounded perfect but I had to substitute the duck for plain old chicken and for the life of me I couldn't find red grapes and had to go with green...the bland, pale, listless, taste-free nightmare I presented to him did not impress and it was only after that he told me he didn't care much for 'mains and pudding' on the same plate! The fact that he's still my best friend is testament to the fact that my cooking has clearly improved... or my 'experiments' have stopped.
Other than her scones and shortbread recipe, one of my favourite Delia dishes is her Thick Onion Tart.. so simple, a classic really, but here it is for you.
Thick Onion Tart
for the pastry
2 oz self-raising flour
2 oz wholewheat flour
a pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
2oz margarine or butter
1 1/2 oz cheddar cheese - grated
cold water to mix
for the filling
1 1/2lb onions - chopped fairly small
2 oz butter
2 eggs, beaten
4fl oz double cream
1 tblspn grated cheddar cheese
s and p
- pre heat the oven to 180 and grease an 8inch fluted flan tin
- first make the pastry by sifting the flours, mustard and salt into a bowl, then rub the fat in till it resembles breadcrumbs. Finally bring it together with a small amount of cold water. Once it forms a dough wrap it in cling film and put in the fridge for 30 mins
- melt the butter in a large heavy pan and add the onions then saute gently for 30 minutes until they have caramelised and gone a dark mahogany brown... stir them regularly though to avoid burning.
- roll the pastry out really thinly and line the fluted tin, prick with a fork and then bake in the oven for 15 mins. Brush with a small amount of the beaten egg and then back into the oven for another 5 mins
- spread the onions over the bottom of the base of the tart, add the mixed cream and egg mixture and sprinkle the top with some grated cheese.
- bake for 30 mins until golden and risen
perfect!... but it is Delia after all.
eat and of course, enjoy!

Out of Write Field
Making sense of the ever-changing South Kitsap sports landscape.
Making sense of the ever-changing South Kitsap sports landscape.
South Kitsap graduate Willie Bloomquist has reached an agreement to return to the Seattle Mariners, according to several sources.
According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, Bloomquist will sign a two-year, $5 million contract with the Mariners. He originally was drafted by Seattle in 1999 out of Arizona State and played with the Mariners from 2002-08. Since leaving Seattle, Bloomquist has played for Kansas City, Cincinnati and Arizona. In 48 games last season with the Diamondbacks, Bloomquist hit .317 and had a .360 on-base percentage.
Bloomquist, who has played second base, shortstop, third base and outfield in recent years, figures to serve as a backup in a youthful Mariners infield. Kyle Seager and Brad Miller are entrenched as the starters at third base and shortstop, respectively, while Dustin Ackley and Nick Franklin are expected to compete for the job at second base unless one is traded.

This last weekend I was visiting my niece in Orange County, California. I had an extra 45 minutes to kill so my party and I stopped in at the Goodwill. I was amazed at all the nice things they had. Finding great items depends on when and where you go, it is a gamble, but the chance to find something that you want or need is what makes bargain shopping fun.
