Family tries to save dogUPDATED 6:52 AM CST Jan 28, 2014
An animal control report recommended euthanizing a West Des Moines pit bull-boxer mix named Killer after multiple biting incidents last year.Video Transcript
The fate of a local family's dog is in jeopardy. An animal control report recommended euthenizing killer - a West Des Moines pit bull-boxer mix after multiple biting incidents last year. KCCI'S Ryan smith attended an emotional city council meeting where a single vote determined the dog's future. According to animal control... this dog is vicious and a danger to men, women and children. but its owners say... their dog deserves a second chance. THIS WEST DES MOINES PIT BULL HAS STIRRED UP A LOT OF CONTROVERS Y. IT STEMS FROM THREE SEPARATE ATTACKS IN THIS WEST DES MOINES NEIGHBORHOO D. ACCORDING TO ANIMAL CONTROL, THE DOG JUMPED ITS FENCE ... AND BIT TWO TEENS AND A MAN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. "spunky, playful dog." NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, ANDREA TRIANA, SAYS THE DOG NAMED "KILLER" IS ANYTHING BUT... "he's never been aggressive to my family in any way, shape or form or our animals." BUT WEST DES MOINES COUNCIL MEMBERS SEE KILLER AS A THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY. "i'm not comfortable letting this dog come back in the community." FEARING KILLER MAY BITE AGAIN, CITY LEADERS BACKED A RECOMMENDA TION BY ANIMAL CONTROL TO EUTHANIZE THE TWO- YEAR-OLD PIT BULL-BOXER MIX. "there's boys like mine that could unfortunately get bit in the face, or killed or maned or whatever and that's just not something i'm comfortable with." "it is very upsetting to me." KILLER'S OWNERS DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH... SO TRIANA SPOKE ON THEIR BEHALF IN FINAL PLEA FOR KILLER'S LIVELIHOOD. "please give this dog another chance. you have an option made available to you." SHE'S FIGHTING TO REHABILITATE AND TRIAN KILLER THROUGH FURRY FRIENDS REFUGE... A NO-KILL SHELTER IN WEST DES MOINES. "it is potential that this dog may be able to be rehabilitated. this dog is unneutered. this dog is young and it sounds like has had some behaviors that have been related to potentially being prodded... encouraging those bad behaviors." City Council members are weary of that option... they say the city could be held liable and face a costly lawsuit if the dog bites again. The family has one week to appeal the Council's decision in district court. They hope something can be done with an animal shelter and avoid euthanizing their pet.

Reveals. We love them. Whether it's a game finally making the jump to another console or details of a new franchise, there's something electrifying about seeing a title's first tentative steps into the limelight. With the VGAs only a matter of weeks away, we hope you're prepared for more than a few reveals to detonate at the Spike TV Awards.
In the aftermath of this joyous night, however, Sony have decided to unveil another PS3 exclusive title to the masses. Come December 12th at 2pm PST, we'll know what it is.
Don't forget, Uncharted 2 was revealed at the VGAs. Maybe they're holding off to show us something of its sequel a little later this time?

US: Kentucky Governor vetoes bill protecting right to act based on religious belief following lobbies by LGBT rights groups
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Al Qaida cells in Kentucky are going to be bitterly disappointed at the Governor's decision.
This bill is a classic example of ill conceived legislation. Seeking to deny medical care, services, employment & the "right to persecute" minorities are unchristian and indeed anti-Christ in the literal sense! Not thinking through the full & wider implications of this bill & how it gives succour to and in effect promotes acts of terror is typical of the so-called "Christian" Right: an Christological oxymoron.
Amazing KY is anything but liberal, but Brearshare is a dem. If it was a repub gov the veto would have been signed post haste.
I truly despair at the sheer hate directed at the LGBT community. Such an open and direct wish to persecute us is obscene. To wish to deny us the most basic of human rights is hurtful.
I am a human being who loves and wants to be loved. I am not an abomination nor in anyway a threat to society. Yet people feel they must try to deny me the right to exist.
What is these people problem – why are we the last acceptable hate group.
Go hate yourselves for being so evil.
I agree but that is emotional. I find it not hurtful but irritating and annoying. I am not concerned about being loved by others – I am content enough with being treated equally and fairly.
There's a lot of hatred going around, sadly. Being LGBT is certainly not the last acceptable hate group – try being disabled or a sex worker, and there is some horrendous hatred around the world directed at people because of their ethnicity, skin colour or religion.
ALL this is motivated by 'self-hate'. I believe EVEREY human being has, at some point, had same-sex thoughts. These people are SO brainwashed and damaged by religious conditioning that they turn their self-doubts and hatreds outwards. People who are secure in their sexuality are NEVER homophobic. And, what these people fear most about homosexuality is their own 'disturbing' inner-thoughts about it. What better way to convincve yourself (and others) you are not gay and have never had gay thoughts is to direct your self-hatred against others. That's why these nutters say, with such conviction, that being gay is a 'choice' … because they themselves have struggled with that 'choice'.
Its called Reaction formation see Wikipedia for a better explanation
(conservative) religion poisons everythng
Christopher Hitichens = a brit
If any of you tuned in to the equal marriage committee hearings, you would have heard similar language used by religious Tory bigots Loughton and Burrowes who were demanding amendments to give special exemptions and protections for people with religious beliefs that are in direct conflict with equal marriage. Thankfully, they didn't get their way and were shot down over and over. I commend Governor Beshear for doing the right thing. Religion should never be allowed to trample on civil rights or take precedence, ever.
Some surprising things here !
• Disappointing that such a nasty bill was proposed by a Democrat rather than a Republican.
• Brilliant that the Governor did the right thing by vetoing it.
• Even more brilliant, that the Governor had the courage to challenge such a large redneck majority, and that he felt able to do this down in the Deep South.
I am shocked too, that bill was sponsored by an Democrat. Is Governor an Democrat or Republican ?
While Kentucky a southern state is not Deep South. It is mid-West.
It would have been nice if the Governor could have said he was vetoing it on principle, instead of on 'unintended consequences' i'e. an avalanche of lawsuits from the likes of us.
More pragmatist than saint, I'm afraid
Steve Beshear is a Democrat. To be fair, he did say that, amongst other things, the bill would threaten individuals' civil rights.
Honestly, for me Kentucky is associated at first with only one thing: here is beginning novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin". And, yes, its home state of first openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.
Stll. lots of redneck dems in the deep south.
Really one needs to know there are really two democratic parities – the good dems, and the dixiecrats who were the big lovers of slavery and segregation.
Much of this changed after Dem president Johnson passed the civil rights bill in 1965. But there always are recalcitrants who live in the past.
BTW the final nail in the coffin of the south becoming big time majority republican extreme conservative was NIXONS southern strategy to win by feeding racial hatred into the election.
The only president ever to get forced out of office got what he deserved.
A good read is a short book called "Attack of the Theocrats".
How do you define a "religious belief" in law anyway? And how would one prove the sincerity of it?
Precisely. What is "a religion", and who is to decide what the precise requirements of that belief system are? Members of most religions are arguing constantly about what they are supposed to believe, especially where gay rights are concerned, and, as you say, a homophobe could join Westboro Baptists knowing that that would give him carte blanche to hate on the gays because it's his "sincerely held belief"!
It's bizarre how many people in a country with a clear constitutional separation of Church and State (can we have it in the UK one day, please?) want to allow licensed law-breaking to God-botherers. Human sacrifice, anyone? Lots of Aztecs 'sincerely' believe it to be essential to keep the sun in the sky, or once did.
It's all this 'freedom of thought' and 'freedom of expression' stuff. They take their Constitutional Rights VERY seriously. Just look at the Gun Lobby! The problem is … one person's right to 'believe' can mean the oppression of another's human rights. The bible was used for YEARS to condone slavery. Hitler used it to persecute the Jews because 'they killed Jesus'. Most organised religion is simply a man-made device to control people and make money. The tribal witch doctor FULLY understood that if you appear to have 'special powers', you can have a better life than your fellow tribesfolk. It's time we grew up, people. Believe what the HELL you want – but don't try to force your 'beliefs' on me or use your ancient novel to curtail my freedoms.
Religion shouldn't have any special rights at all, it's just something you insist is true with no facts at all to back it up. No scientist could get away with that so why should religion? As for this law being proposed by a Democrat, there are plenty of so called "blue dog Democrats" who are Republicans in all but name.
Similarly, there are blue-dog Labour MPs who voted against equal marriage.
That's true in a way ,but my local Labour MP voted against SSM and he's certainly not a Tory ,more like Old Labour.His predecessor in the 90's (also Labour) voted against equalising the age of consent , they are both a hangover from the days when Labour was just as homophobic as the Tories.
Thankfully, Colin, they're on the decline although it can't be said so much of the Tories with slightly more than half voting against SSM and not all of them that old. Let's hope some of them are voted out in 2015, hopefully those in safe constituencies.
Robert, Labour started moving away from homophobia first by legalising homosexuality in the 60's and now the Tories are following but they are a much more bigoted lot and it'll be a long while yet before they change. The success of UKIP in hoovering up their votes shows they are not interested in modernity and many Tory voters just dream of returning to the glory days of Thatcher.
So, if it is my 'sincerely held religious belief' that witches should be burned at the stake … or children who are verbally abusive to their parents should be put to death .. will I be protected from prosecution by this move if I see fit to use the boible to justify my crimes? Once again, 'religion' commands totally irrational deference. All common sense goes out the window where 'god' is concerned. It is pathetic and the US should grow up and stop pandering to this nonsense.
Totally unrelated to this, but would PN please explain why there is a disabled post under the heading: "Feature: Now is the perfect time to Extend A Room into your garden?" Makes NO sense.
advertisment revenue?
Probably right, John, I never thought of that. Annoying though.
"Ahh had tew kill him because he'm wuz wearing a Polyester and Cotton mix shirt, as sanctioned in the book of Leviticus!"
VERY dodgy! And this was suggested by a DEMOCRAT? *shakes head, sadly*
Wish we could veto it here.
The Veto can be overridden by a simple majority in both houses.
The bill has thus only been delayed a few weeks.

Time management vs Shakespeare
Filed under skills, personal, travel,
"To be or not to be", to do or not do, oh philosophical inquiry that some will pose in particular moments in life... I myself dwell constantly with the challenge of balancing work and life especially in the sense of time.
I considering myself to be quite obsessive when it comes to doing something, more importantly doing things the "right way" and to completion, and that more often than not takes time, sometimes a lot of time. On the other hand I try to balance that obsession with an urge to offset the amount of time spent doing or thinking about work and related subjects. Trying to do things to entertain yourself and the ones around you, socialize, exercise, etc. all very important things to do to compose your being, but again, also take time, important time.

Want to record even more hours of your favorite shows, movies, and sports? You can increase the recording capacity of your DVR or HD DVR simply by connecting an external hard drive with greater storage than the receiver's internal hard drive.
First, make sure you have a compatible receiver. Check the model number inside the small door located on bottom right corner of the front of the receiver. The model number should read either R22 (DIRECTV Plus® DVR) or HR20 or above (DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR).
You'll need an external hard drive that uses an eSATA connection. The following hard drive models are recommended:
Follow these steps to connect the external hard drive:
When your receiver reboots, it will automatically see the newly-connected hard drive. The hard drive inside your receiver will be disabled.
You now have expanded recording capacity. With a 1TB hard drive, you can record up to 200 hours of HD programming.
Because the content on the external drive is paired with the HD DVR receiver it's connected to, you will have to reformat the external drive if you want to connect it to a different HD DVR receiver. Reformatting means you will lose the recordings you made with the original HD DVR receiver.

Kelsey MacKinnon of the Mustangs hit a free throw to start a 7-0 run for Miscouche, which then held off an aggressive Englewood offence in the last three minutes of the game.
Racheal Steele (14), MacKinnon (12) and Raylee DesRoches (7) were Miscouche's top point-getters.
For Englewood, MacKenzie Stewart (9), Madison Vincent (8) and Kennedy LeGrange (8) led the way.
Midget A Boys
Kensington Torchmen 76
Summerside Intermediate Owls 62
At Kensington Intermediate-Senior High (KISH), the host and No. 1-seeded Torchmen outlasted the No. 4-seeded Owls in a high-scoring affair.
The Torchmen grabbed an early lead, and led the Owls by as many as 14 points in the second quarter. SIS cut that to 39-31 at the break, but a 10-0 run to start the third quarter put the Torchmen back in control.
Bailey Clark and Noah Rogerson each poured in 20 points to lead the Torchmen, who received a 15-point effort from Clark Webster.
Reid MacBeath, who scored 16 of his game-high 23 points in the second half, ignited the Owls' offence. Jonathan Rose chipped in with 19 points and Randy Corkum had nine.

Can you add up the pieces to this global puzzle. The earth is heating up. Oil and Methane are now leaking from locations all over the earth. If we go back and examine earth history we may find links from Atlantis and their demise and to the situation the world was in around the days of Noah.
World Scientists are noticing oil seepage and methane gas release events that are now taking place all over the world. 16,000 to 14,000 years ago and 11,000 years ago to 9,000 years ago methane gas and oil seepage coincided with the Sinking of Atlantis, the 10 plagues of Egypt and other Global Cataclysmic events. Examine the evidence and see if you're ready to draw conclusions.
David Biello
Subject: Methane Gas and Petroleum Seepage Linked to Global Cataclysm
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 2010
Notice an important clue about *uniformly* periodic earth cataclysms in this article.
The article says that about 14,000 years ago, and again about 11,000 years ago, there was a great surge in temperature, tar release, and methane release, worldwide. Well, 11,000 years ago was the time when most archaeologists and geologists believe that the great sinking of Atlantis occurred.
Furthermore, this article states that there was about a 3,000 year interval between that period and the previous event of the same kind. Well, 3,600 years is the periodnof the highly elliptical cometary orbit of the great brown dwarf star which NASA had recognized in its Jan 30, 1983 New York Times report, titled: "Clues Get Warm in the Search for Planet X."
Then, in a Dec. 30, 1983 Washington Post front-page report, NASA announced that it had sighted Planet X.
Please click on the attachment above to see a photocopy of that actual Washington Post report from NASA.
So, the currently increasing geological release of tar and methane, worldwide, appears to be yet another precursor signal to the imminent global cataclysms typical of those uniformly periodic releases preceding global cataclysm, and chronologically indexed at 1,640 B.C., (the ten plagues of Eqypt and the devastation of the Americas and China), 5,300 B.C. (the Great Flood of Noah's day), and 9,000 B.C. (the sinking of Atlantis).

In 2003, I was concerned about the direction of our city. Like many, my biggest concerns related to the actions of some in the Parma Police Department. In fact, amid these troubles, I decided to run for Parma City Council, hoping to do whatever I could to help turn around our city, in general, and our police department, in particular.
It is hard to believe that nearly nine years have passed since I was first elected to council. I am proud to say that in those years our city leadership team has, in fact, turned our city around. Further, in light of the economic downturn, we have weathered the economic storm well compared to many other cities in northeast Ohio and throughout the nation. I would argue that our ability to experience success during these tumultuous times was not only due to high-quality leadership, but also community support.
In fact, in 2007, the residents supported a 5-year, 2-mill renewable new money police levy to bolster our police safety forces. In that time our police department has continued down a positive path to becoming one of the preeminent departments in northeast Ohio. In fact, personally I sleep well at night knowing that my family is being well protected by our fine officers.
On Nov. 6, the ballot will be filled with a number of candidates and issues. As a high school government teacher, I discuss the concept known as "voter fatigue" with my students. This phenomenon occurs when voters vote only the high profile races, such as President of the United States and U.S. Senate, but skip many of the races and issues that appear "down the ballot." I want to urge residents to vote their entire ballot this fall and to vote yes on Issue 78, the 2-mill Parma Police Department renewal levy. If passed, this vital levy is not a tax increase.
If you would like more information about Issue 78 or are in need of an early voting application, please feel free to contact me at 440-885-8091 or email@example.com.

TOWNSHEND -- Ashley Goddard was the hero on Thursday, as her goal with 2:20 remaining in the second overtime gave the Leland & Gray girls soccer team a 2-1 victory over Twin Valley.
"I tip my hat to her. She wanted it. She made a couple of nifty moves and let one go," said Twin Valley coach Chris Walling.
Goddard won the ball at midfield, carried it all the way to the 18 and unloaded the game-winner.
"It was a really good game. We passed and possessed the ball beautifully. We had so many opportunities," said Rebels coach Lucas Bates. "We're definitely on a roll. I don't want to jinx us, but that was our third win in a row."
After a scoreless first half, Brittany Bills put the Rebels ahead just after the break. Natalie Herrick buried the equalizer for the visitors, assisted by Jordan Niles.
"I was pleased with the effort. My girls came to play," added Walling, whose 4-5-1 Wildcats will play at Stratton on Saturday at 1 p.m.
The 5-5-1 Rebels will play at Arlington on Saturday.
Bellows Falls 1,
West Rutland 0 (OT)
WESTMINSTER -- After missing a penalty kick in the first half, Lydia Pedigo made amends in the third minute of overtime.
West Rutland controlled much of the play in the opening minutes, but the Terriers started to begin passing the ball. In the second half, the hosts applied more pressure but had to be aware of West Rutland's counter.
Going into overtime was not what either side wanted, but the Terriers moved down the left side and Brit Moyna went around the last defender only to be pulled down.
The 6-4-1 Terriers will host Black River on Saturday.
Octoberfest Race
WINDSOR -- Dimick's Disciples placed second in the men's team competition at the recent Harpoon Brewery Octoberfest Race in Windsor.
The runnerup sqaud included 2006 Brattleboro Union High School graduates Dan Barile, Jordan Peeples, Brendan Rogers and Brian Lashway. Jason Larochelle of Springfield also competed for the team.
Barile led the Disciples in the field of 1,101 runners with a 16th place finish. He ran the hilly 3.66-mile course in 21:38, Peeples followed in 31st in 23:06, Larochelle was next in 119th in 26:29, Rogers came in 228th with a 28:38, and Lashway was 263rd in 29:20.
The team was named after BUHS cross country and track and field coach, John Dimick.
Rosters are due
BRATTLEBORO -- The Brattleboro Recreation & Parks Department would like to remind players for Men's Basketball that rosters are due Oct. 25 by 4 p.m. at the Recreation & Parks Department, 207 Main Street. If more information is needed, call 802-254-5808.

A Staten Island teen was almost abducted while walking down a Great Kills street last night.
The incident was stopped when a bat-wielding Samaritan -- who lives on the block -- heard the 15-year-old scream while her attacker was trying to drag her into the woods on the 100-block of Cleveland Avenue across the street from Christ Lutheran Church.
The assailant ran when the hero, identified by neighbors as Patrick Klatt, ran into the woods after the girl.
Here's a video of the wooded area where the attack occurred:

Overall Review (working on extended later)
Well I'm proud to say that I have SSBB. Before I get into this I'm gonna say that this is my first SSB game that I have owned. I have only played Melee a few times at friends' houses. So here we go.
When I first started I went straight into training to test out controls. Wow was I surprised how fast-paced this game was and that was just in training. So then after I test out the 1v1 with a friend just to mess around and I thought it was pretty fun but nothing amazing. Then we go to SSE co-op. It was pretty fun especially with the cutscenes and all. But again nothing to really amaze me really just co-op fun. Some cool ideas for levels butI really didn't find much fun in it. After this we tried just 5 stock matches with no items. WOW!! that was sooooo fun. There's really no way to explain it. Its just pure all out fun. Some stages were fun to play on also like the Bridge of Eldin, Mario Circut, Delfino Plaza, and many others. And the perfect thing is that its just hectic enough where most of the time you can tell where you are and what your doing instead of just mashing buttons. I have to say it did take me a while to get used to a strategy (spiking is fun ) but once you get some techniques down is just like heaven. No I will talk about the graphics. There's not really much to say here since I don't pay attention to them so much but they are pretty articstic and unique in their own way. Psh who needs HD when you have SSBB. But anyway I'll sum it up now. SSBB is pure fun for your friends or just by yourself. They have thrown in so many extras that it will never get boring even after hours on end. I will never regret getting this game ever.
9.9/10 (since no game is perfect)

Here's my review.
Alright, so unless you've been living in a cave or small hole for the past couple of years, you know about super smash bros. brawl. The fact that you're on a NINTENDO WII FORUM in the SMASH BROS. BRAWL section would probably increase the chance of you knowing about it, but maybe that's just me. So for those less enlightened, here's Smash in a nutshell: beat up each other with classic videogame franchise characters (mostly Nintendo-based). Sounds simple, but Smash is like no other game you've ever played. I don't have enough room to explain everything, so just go out and buy SSB or SSBM if you want to see where this game came from. It's money well spent, let me assure you.
Anyways, American gamers have finally gotten their hands on SSBB. Is it any good? In short, yes. Very much so. It adds amazing new things to the series while still retaining it's most important qualities. In fact, there were absolutely no areas that didn't exceed my expectations.
The main thing in any smash bros. game is the characters, and brawl has that in spades. Most of the old favorites are returning (R.I.P Roy and Mewtwo) plus new characters like Pit, Lucario, Wolf and R.O.B. The total roster is now 35 characters, which is a definate improvement from melee and adds replay value. The two third-party characters, Snake and Sonic, fit right in with the cast and also have awesome new stages, like Sonic's Green Hill Zone (the rock remix of Angel Island is a godsend). Speaking of stages, there are 41 in total, from Melee's Hyrule Temple to the 75m stage from the original Donkey Kong. Plus, you can now make custom stages! These are actually more detailed than I had expected, and hold up well against their pre-designed brethren.
Now,it they just had new characters and stages, the game would still be great, but the more extensive additions really show how much time good old Sakurai put into this amazing game. Classic Mode is returning, but the new adventure mode, The Subspace Emissary, is a beat-em-up co-op sidescroller stand-alone game all by itself. Beautiful CGI cutscenes immerse you in the world of Nintendo, and there are plently of harrowing boss fights to be had (there are 2 Ridley bosses! 2!!!). Frankly, I've never been more pleased with a single-player mode in a primarily multiplayer game.
Also returning is event mode, but now you can play it with a friend, adding to smash's party appeal. Trophies are also returning, at over double their original number, but a new collectible item, stickers, add ever more to the replay value.
I haven't even mentioned the awe-inspiring new items (the Final Smashes and Assist Trophies in particular) or the new Masterpieces mode, where you can play trial games from Nintendo's past, but you get the idea. Smash is an enormous game. I don't know if one player could ever unlock all of the content housed within. Simply put, when Sakurai makes a game, he makes it right. If you haven't yet, go buy it. NOW. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a game every Wii player should have. In fact, go out and buy a Wii now if you don't have one, then buy Brawl. You'll be glad you did.
Summary:Various Nintendo characters (plus Sonic and Snake) compete in a no-holds-barred, action packed party/fighting game.
Gameplay:Possibly better than the other smash games, and that's saying something. The controls feel much smoother and easier in particular.
Graphics: Easily the Wii's best game, these graphics rival games on the Xbox 360 (with the added advantage of not having a controller best suited for bear paws)
Replay:Infinite. Truly infinite.
Defining New Feature: Subspace Emissary. Finally, a true single-player mode in Smash Bros.
FINAL SCORE: 10 out of 10 (Outstandinng)

EDITOR:This is my feelings toward unions. Unions today can be and are two sectors, private and public. Let me tell you why.
Private sector unions are supported by private funding, which is your earnings, which unions take from these earnings as union dues.
Public sector unions take the earnings from workers whose wages come from the taxpayers.
In the private sector, competition limits union leverage. If workers negotiate wages, benefits and costly work rules, if employers can't pass on to customers, businesses, failed union contracts become worthless. Recognizing what unions did to General Motors, Chrysler, and other once mighty American employers, most workers won't vote yes in union representation elections and the private sector union membership has fallen to less than 7 percent of workers.
In the public sector, unions have special leverage, because employers are monopolies. If service is lousy they cannot go to other places. Public unions invest in political campaigns to help ensure management - governors, legislators and U.S. Presidents, also excessive benefit packages, health-care and pensions, ignore bad employees that cannot be fired. Makes organizing real easy.
Public unions make sure workers are represented at the negotiating table, but the taxpayer who pays everything, his interests be damned.
This is the worse bargaining system ever devised, it favors the public unions 100 percent.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the U.S. said this, "Public unions want nothing less than an intention on their part to obstruct the operations of government until their demands are satisfied, such action looking toward the paralysis of government by those who have sworn to support the unthinkable and intolerable."
F.D.R. was the great Democrat with socialism right behind. He was elected to four terms. Read it and weep liberals.

I was recently able to get my hands on a copy of Phil Steele's 2013 College Football Preview Magazine, one of the best preseason guides to the college football season.
Inside is a database of info on 126 FBS teams, but some of the more interesting features are Steele's predictions and rankings.
Today I'm looking at Steele's experience chart, which uses his own formula to rank teams mostly based on the number of returning seniors, returning seniors in the two-deep on the depth chart, the percentage of returning lettermen, the percentage of returning offensive yards, the percentage of returning tackles and the career starts of returning offensive linemen.
Syracuse came in at No. 108 in the nation, and it's no secret the Orange has many holes to fill.
There will be a new starting quarterback for the first time in three years as Drew Allen, Terrel Hunt and Charley Loeb compete for the job previously held by Ryan Nassib.
Two productive tandems along the offensive line (Justin Pugh and Zack Chibane) and at wide receiver (Alec Lemon and Marcus Sales) must also be replaced.
The defense has an equal number of question marks, starting up front.
Deon Goggins, Brandon Sharpe and Markus Pierce-Brewster account for three lost starters from last year's team.
Middle linebacker Siriki Diabate is gone, and don't forget safety Shamarko Thomas, who was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers this past spring.
Syracuse ranked 13th out of 14 teams in the ACC on Steele's experience chart, ahead of only North Carolina State. Boston College leads the ACC and is ranked seventh nationally. Miami, Georgia Tech, Duke and Virginia Tech round out the top-five in the ACC.
The chart, of course, is not meant to be a predictor of success. Alabama, regarded as a favorite for the national championship, is eighth in the SEC and 66th in the country.
What it can do, however, is forecast which teams might see a spike in wins or a drop off from the previous year.
Syracuse, already playing in a tougher conference than the Big East, has dreams of returning to a bowl game in 2013. If anything, its ranking on Steele's chart is a reminder that doing so will require significant contributions from many new faces.

Heres a SIMPLE FIX that I did and it works much better then the stock follower, I added a Steel rivet to the follower to make the round set higher in the front.
The first pic is left to right a 226 factory Mag, a P-6 modified mag and a P-6 stock mag, as you can see the rounds set higher to hit the feed ramp at a better angle.
The second pic is the rivet in place, it is a steel rivet and very easy to do with the right tools. we have several P-6's in the family and all of them have the Mag mods.
As with all things, YMMV. as a note with any 147grHP's this mod will not make them feed 100% but it's very close and not all 147gr rounds are the same, some run better then others, I have settled on 124gr HP's as a go to bullet. We do not have any problem with ball ammo at all, we shoot lots of 115gr and 124gr, we run lots of White Box 115gr winchester with 100% reliability, once again YMMV

Oswego, NY – Four people are in custody after Oswego police determined that the woman they thought was hurt in a car wreck early actually had been beaten after a robbery.
Police responded to a reported accident about 2:03 a.m. at West Sixth and Oneida streets and found Kim B. Ellingwood, 49, of 5350 state Route 104, Oswego, seriously injured and lying in the road. She was taken to Oswego Hospital, then transferred to Upstate University Hospital where she was in serious condition this afternoon.
Police said they later found that four people had led Ellingwood to believe they would sell drugs to her if she went to a designated spot. When she got there, three men robbed Ellingwood's money and tried to take off in their car, police said.
Ellingwood drove her car into the suspects' vehicle and pushed it a short distance. She and the three men got out of the cars and one of the men, Gregory M. Pasiak, 21, of 95 W. Ninth St., Oswego, beat her up, police said.
Pasiak drove home, where Shandelle A. Tetro, 20, of the same address, called Oswego County 911 and reported that she had been driving Pasiak's vehicle and had been rear-ended in an accident, officers said.
Pasiak, Wayne M. Parker, 20, of 512 Rochester St., Fulton, and Shane M. Hartmann, 21, of 208 Buffalo St., Fulton, each were charged with first-degree robbery and first-degree assault, police said. Both charges are felonies.
Police also charged Tetro with second-degree hindering prosecution, a felony, and third-degree falsely reporting an incident, a misdemeanor.
All four were awaiting arraignment this afternoon, police said.

While many Americans likely intend to skip town on Friday, December 21st and head out on a holiday vacation, they might inadvertently find themselves skipping the Earth altogether.
In case you haven't heard, a plethora of Doomsday scenarios are portended to play out on that date. (Soothsayers are covering all the bases, I suppose.) With such death and destruction imminent, why spend money on expensive plane tickets or resort accommodations? Even if you survive the Apocalypse, chances are that it will still spoil your holiday (what with the kids whining about fire, brimstone, and a lack of McDonald's). So don't risk disappointment! In Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fashion, you can lie down and put a paper bag over your head, instead!
Let's run down the predictions. If these aren't mutually exclusive, we'll certainly be in for a world of hurt:

School budget leaves Bainbridge teachers in a waiting game
For 17 Bainbridge educators, an anxious wait has begun.
In the last week, 10 full-time and seven part-time certificated staff members have received notification from Bainbridge Island School District that their positions will not be renewed.
The district was required to dole out Reduction in Force notifications by May 15, but administrators are expecting a number of the positions will be renewed as budget planning continues.
For now, all educators can do is wait for clarity to emerge.
"It's beyond painful," said Boo Schneider, president of the Bainbridge Island Education Association. "These are people who are homeowners, who have kids going into college. Or they're younger and are committed to paying for cars or rent. It's scary."
Notifications to certificated staff were made under the shadow of a $2 million to $2.2 million projected budget shortfall for the 2009-2010 school year. Supt. Faith Chapel said the district hopes some of the positions will be regained through retirements, better-than-expected enrollment or rosier final funding numbers from the state, which are expected next week.
As far as administrators can recall, these are the deepest cuts the district has made in at least 15 years.
"We're hoping we don't have to act on all of these," Chapel said. "It has been a sobering experience."
There are just three school board meetings left before the preliminary budget is approved in June. Cuts to classified staff positions have yet to be determined.
Despite the number of positions being lost, Schneider said she was pleased with the budget process the district has used this year, which included input from two community surveys and six budget subcommittees.
"I don't know of another district that has been this transparent," Schneider said.
Positions outlined for elimination include seven full-time equivalent teaching positions from grades K-6. Several middle and high school teaching and district-wide support positions are also on the list.
In past years staff cuts in BISD have largely been absorbed through attrition, but the district has seen few retirements and leaves this year. Schneider said teachers seem reticent to leave their posts in an uncertain economy. They have also had trouble getting clear information about their retirement packages from the state, she said.
Teachers given RIF notice will be placed in a recall pool, Schneider said. Any reinstatements will be drawn from that pool, based on seniority and disciplines needed.
Wilkes Elementary teacher Rebecca Grue, who has been with the district four years, was among the full-time staff members who received a RIF notice but is hopeful that her position will be renewed.
She said she lays blame on the state for failing to come through with funding.
"Education is the framework of our society," Grue said. "It's devastating to not have adequate funding from the state for our students and our educational programs."
Along with teachers receiving RIFs, all eight teachers who were employed by the district on short-term, leave-replacement contracts were told they would not be kept on.
Leave-replacement contracts, which usually last a year, are never guaranteed to lead to continuing contracts, but are frequently renewed in normal budget cycles. Many teachers see them as a way of getting a foot in the door of a district.
That was the gamble Wilkes Elementary fourth-grade teacher Megan Watson took when she turned down a long-term contract in Bremerton to join Bainbridge as a leave-replacement two years ago.
Watson, who has 10 years of teaching experience, now finds herself looking for work in a sparse job market while waiting to hear if something will open on Bainbridge. She's considering moving to Australia, where teachers are in high demand. Like Grue, she blames the state funding model for her predicament.
"I love Bainbridge Island and would have stayed here for the rest of my professional career," Watson said. "I am very sad that I have been placed into the position of looking for a job internationally as there seems to be no jobs available in our state."
For a number of district staff members, renewal may depend on what programs are cut in the final budget.
The district's Budget Advisory Committee is still tuning its recommendations to the board and awaiting final numbers from the state. The committee has identified more than $2 million in possible cuts and savings throughout the district's operating budget, many with staffing implications.
The district's nursing program is among those being discussed for downsizing. The board could choose to thin the nursing staff to the level it is contractually obligated to maintain: one nurse per 2,500 students. The program is currently staffed by full-time nurse Heidi McKay and four part-time nurses.
McKay said the is 25-year- old doesn't reflect the wide range of conditions modern school nurses are tasked with.
"It's not realistic in terms of the type of students we deal with," McKay said.
The district's multicultural program may also be restructured. The 0.4 FTE multicultural coordinator position, held by Maria Rivera, may be cut although Rivera will likely be placed elsewhere in the district; she was not given a RIF notice.
Colleagues, students and community members have been turning out to board meetings to support Rivera's role.
Rivera said the most important thing is that the multicultural program and the United Brothers and Sisters club that she advises would continue, even if her position is cut and funding is restructured.
"I know it's just the budget, it's not personal," Rivera said. "It's not about me, it's about the program."
Amid the grim budget news of the last several weeks, there have been glimmers of good news. For the second straight year, the number of children being signed up for kindergarten is higher than expected, which means the district may add a full-day kindergarten class.
Next week, the Bainbridge Schools Foundation plans to launch a "Save Our Teachers" fundraising drive, with the hopes of funding the recall of teachers.
Meanwhile the waiting game will continue.
"Things will change between May 15 and the start of the school year," Assistant Supt. Bruce Colley said. "That's the one thing we do know for sure."
The school board will meet May 28 and June 11. A preliminary budget may be approved June 25.

An auto parts store employee is fighting for his life after his head became pinned between a tractor trailer and a loading dock in Jersey City yesterday.
The man, who is described as being in his early 30s, suffered a "significant" head injury and is being treated by a trauma team after being rushed to Jersey City Medical Center from Buy Wise Auto Parts at Grand and Bishop streets, said Medical Center Director of Emergency Medical Services Robert Luckritz.
"All I saw was blood coming out of his nose and mouth and people were screaming for the truck driver to pull up," said a Buy Wise employee. "He just passed out while he was still pinned," she said.
The incident occurred at about 4:20 p.m. and an ambulance was on the scene in just over three minutes, Luckritz said. Because all EMTs and paramedics were working to stabilize the man who was in critical condition, a responding firefighter had to drive the ambulance to the hospital.
"He was directing the truck backing up into the dock, and I don't know if the driver didn't see him," said another employee. He said the emergency responders had the man on his way to the hospital in minutes and that it was a cooperative effort between firefighters and EMTs.
Inside the PJAX Freight Systems truck's cab, the driver sat with his head slumped forward as police investigated, took pictures and took down information on the vehicle.
Medical Center spokesman Mark Rabson said firefighters and hospital EMTs train together in order to better coordinate emergency responses.

BOSTON – Kinder, gentler and absolutely much quieter. At least by their recent standards.
Lacking the emotional charge of Thursday night's pound-out win over Dallas, the Boston Bruins settled for a workman-like effort that came up short in their 2-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Saturday before a TD Garden sellout crowd of 17,565.
The Bruins allowed just 18 shots on goal, matching their season's best in that department. But the most critical one was the only one to get past goaltender Tim Thomas, that by rookie Logan Couture at 7:22 of the first period.
Toss out that, plus the empty netter by Devon Setoguchi with 3 seconds to play, and you have an evenly played grind out.
"I think we had a few more chances," said center David Krejci. "You know, one lucky break and they scored a goal. And you can't win a hockey game if you don't score a goal, so that's what happened tonight."
"Obviously we didn't have the same effort we had last game," said defenseman Adam McQuaid, whose second period scuffle with the Sharks' Ben Eager was all that this contest had in common with Thursday's 'Rumble With the Stars.'
"We definitely didn't have the same energy in the building," McQuaid added.
Any residual current was sapped out when Couture, the current favorite for the Calder Trophy, scored his 23rd goal of the year on a power play. Couture cut across the slot, took a feed from Ryane Clowe and shoveled a backhander past Thomas.
"Backhands are hard to read where they're going," said Thomas. "Actually, as he was releasing the puck, I read high blocker and started to lift (it). (But) backhands handcuff you somehow."
Sharks team captain Joe Thornton (you remember him, don't you?), said he's gotten used to seeing that kind of crafty play from Couture.
"I think he's the most complete player I've seen at that age (21)," said the former Bruin. "He's been a stud for us all year long."
It was Couture's seventh, game-winning goal, tying him with Washington's Alex Ovechkin for the league lead.
San Jose had another goal wiped out by a goaltender interference call late in the second period.
Boston itself was shackled by a stingy Sharks defense and the goaltending of Antti Niemi, who made 26 saves for his third shutout of the season.
The Bruins' best chance may have come late during a late, first-period power play.
Milan Lucic charged to the right post with half the net open to him, but lost the handle on the puck just at the last second.
"They (the Sharks) probably played the safest against us out of any team we played this year," Thomas said. "Not taking chances. Making sure they got the puck deep instead of trying to make a play. We stayed tight defensively and waited for our opportunities."
Opportunities that were few and far between.

Premier worthy of NDIS praise
- From: The Courier-Mail
- December 13, 2012
CAMPBELL Newman is to be congratulated for committing to the National Disability Insurance Scheme and not just because of what it will mean for thousands of disabled Queenslanders and their carers.
His promise to support the scheme with $1.77 billion by 2018 also represents a distinct change of heart that is both welcome and encouraging.
When the Gillard Government first proposed the idea of an $8 billion national disability insurance scheme earlier this year the Newman Government expressed interest but only on the proviso the Commonwealth picked up the tab.
But now the state has become the second to commit to the scheme, with what Mr Newman describes as "one of the biggest single increases in disability funding this country has ever seen".
The Premier says his Government had always supported the NDIS concept but could only afford to contribute after undertaking the "necessary fiscal repair measures" that were its first priority.
Whatever the reasons for changing his mind, it is important that politics doesn't get in the way of finalising an agreement with the Commonwealth as soon as possible.
The Federal Government's immediate response to Queensland's funding announcement was not promising, with a spokeswoman for federal Disability Reform Minister Jenny Macklin saying that although the decision was "a step in the right direction" it was still short of the funding needed for a full disability insurance scheme across the state.
The Prime Minister overplayed her political hand last night in a letter to Mr Newman demanding more money.
Opposition leader Annastacia Palaszczuk is also trying to make political mileage from this situation but she should be careful given the previous Labor government's chronic underfunding of disability services in Queensland.
Despite a sharp increase in support for disabled Queenslanders early in Labor's term, by the end of its reign the state was providing only 70 per cent of the average funding of other states.
Mr Newman's proposal might not deliver everything the Commonwealth would like but at least it goes a fair way to covering the funding gap left behind by the previous administration.
Queensland Council of Unions president John Battams tried to downplay the Government's announcement by suggesting it was in response to bad polling and an attempt to justify public sector cuts.
The real reason behind the Government's now-enthusiastic embrace of a "full-blown NDIS" doesn't really matter. Mr Newman deserves full credit for showing the strength politicians always need when they change their position so emphatically.
There is still plenty of ground to be covered before the state and the Commonwealth sign off on this vital new plan, but as they negotiate they should keep in mind the words of Cerebral Palsy League chief executive officer Angela Tillmans after yesterday's announcement: "It means that people with disability will have hope. It means they have hope that they will be able to get a shower every day, they will be able to have three meals a day."
To shatter that hope because of political posturing would be cynical beyond belief. The challenge now awaits the State and Federal Governments to find a way to common ground, keeping in mind the urgency of disabled Queenslanders and their families.
Cricket's wasted gamble
CRICKET Australia's extraordinary letter to sports bookmakers demanding an end to certain betting types further exposes a tangled web. While Cricket Australia accepts money through commercial partnerships with bookmakers, currently bet365, it is open to allegations of hypocrisy.
This was always going to be the case from the moment CA contemplated accepting money from bookmakers. When The Courier-Mail broke the story in 2004, the newspaper wrote: "How can you fine your own players for taking money from a bookmaker and then take money from a bookmaker yourself?" The question still stands.
CA's relationship with bookmakers was always going to be fraught. Was it really worth the trouble? On the surface, it seems not.

This library replaces the original Beam Footprints begun in August, 2009. Those original Beam Footprints were provided as static JPG files. This new generation of Beam Footprints is presented as GoogleEarth media, allowing the viewer an unlimited interactive ability to modify the data display. Thanks to Doug Brott for his support in providing a repository for all this data.
Viewing this data requires the Google Earth application. The free application is available at
The Satellite Beam Footprint Library is the creation of dbstalk user spear61. His initiative and creativity culminated with these Beam Footprint Maps.
The beam contour maps reflect the satellite operating at full power. Reception in this case is probably good out to the isobars in the low 50's dBw.
comments from spear61 August, 2009
The FCC started publishing a web database in late 2003. Any original license application filed before that date only has a "marker" in the file system and does not have any online data of any kind. If one of the "old" satellites is moved to a new location after mid 2003, the modification to the original license will include the new footprint data.
Quantity of beam footprints
- The Spaceway satellites can essentially generate an infinite number of spots. Directv received an exemption allowing them to provide a couple of "examples" in digital form in their license that show how they can blanket the country with spots.
- Some of the other newer satellites generated so many beams that it overwhelmed the FCC filing system. Again, Directv received an exemption to only show some examples in those cases.
- Beginning in 2009, a new database was implemented, allowing submission of more data. D12 used that format; that is the reason we have a range of data for D12. For D14 and later satellites, it appears the data for all beams is available.

Two men gunned down in Red Bank were killed when their alleged assailants tried to steal cocaine from them, authorities said today.
Monmouth County Prosecutor Luis Valentin said Joseph Fann, 23, of Red Bank and Sidney Wakefield, 26, of Long Branch were shot to death early Tuesday morning by three acquaintances they had run into two hours before.
Shortly after 1:35 a.m. Tuesday, Red Bank police received "numerous" 911 calls reporting gunshots. Responding to Locust Avenue near Leighton Place, officer James DePonte found Fann dead in the front passenger seat of Wakefield's Lexus and Wakefield dead on the ground, First Assistant Monmouth County Prosecutor Peter Warshaw Jr. said.
DePonte also noticed a black Audi leaving the area of the shooting, Valentin said.
After securing the scene and waiting for backup, DePonte searched for the car, whose license plate number he had written down.
He found the Audi in the northbound lanes of Route 35, near Twinbrooks Avenue in Middletown, the prosecutor said. He said the vehicle's three occupants were taken to the Red Bank Police Department, where they were questioned and later charged.
They were identified as Samson Theodore Hearn, 26, of Fair Haven and Eric Joel Figueras, 25, and Antonio Domingo Suarez-Perez, 21, both of Red Bank. Valentin said Hearn also goes by the name "Freedom," Figueras is called "Pun" and Suarez-Perez is nicknamed "Mingo."
Valentin said Suarez-Perez was the shooter.
In court today, Hearn was identified as the driver, Figueras the front seat passenger and Suarez-Perez as the back seat passenger.
Valentin said the men first ran into the victims by chance two hours earlier at a gas station near the crime scene. He would not release details about the interaction among the five men at the station or shooting scene.
Acting on reports from several concerned citizens, police found a handgun at Twinbrooks Avenue and Route 35. Authorities would not describe the weapon or say whether it was the murder weapon.
Suarez-Perez was charged with two counts of murder, two counts of felony murder, weapons offenses and one count each of armed robbery and tampering with physical evidence. He is being held in the Monmouth County jail in lieu of $3.3 million bail.
Figueras and Hearn are each charged with two counts of felony murder, weapons offenses and one count each of armed robbery, hindering apprehension and obstruction. They are being held in the county jail on $2 million bail each.
Despite the arrests, Valentin said investigators are still asking anyone with information about the shootings to call Red Bank Detective Lt. Eliot Ramos at 732-904-6831 or prosecutor's Detective Jose Cruz at 800-533-7443.

Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream
I have become a strawberry ice cream convert in my adulthood. When I was a kid, I didn't want to be anywhere near the stuff. I've always adored strawberries, but for some reason strawberry ice cream couldn't have been more vile to me. The worst possible thing was when I would be at someone else's house and a carton of Neapolitan ice cream appeared. Vanilla? Good. Chocolate? Good. Strawberry? Bleh. And I felt like it contaminated both of the others. God forbid a drop of strawberry touched one of the other two. I wouldn't eat the entire bowl. What was wrong with me?? Maybe I had never had really good strawberry ice cream. Maybe my palate had yet to mature. Well, now I'm all grown up and I'm here to tell you that this fresh strawberry ice cream is most definitely one of the best things you can make this summer.
I love this strawberry ice cream in a waffle or sugar cone. Something about the contrast between the fresh sweetness of the ice cream and the crunch of those types of cones just seems like a perfect match to me.
I used a whole quart of strawberries for this recipe, which really infuses the ice cream with amazing flavor. Another perk to the amount of strawberries used is that you are guaranteed many chunks of those juicy red berries with each creamy bite. The strawberries are pulsed in a food processor with a bit of sugar and lemon juice and then left to macerate in the fridge while the ice cream base is made. If you don't have a food processor, not to worry. You can prepare the strawberries with a potato masher, pastry blender, or even chop them up with a knife.
Love this recipe but don't have an ice cream maker? Head on over to the tutorial about how to make fabulous homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker. Problem solved!
One year ago: Vanilla & Brown Sugar Breakfast Polenta
Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream
Yield: About 2 quarts
Prep Time: 1 hour (active), 8 hours (inactive)
Cook Time: 20 minutes (churn time)
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
1 quart strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups heavy cream, divided
1 cup whole milk
Pinch of salt
1 whole vanilla bean
6 egg yolks
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Place the strawberries, ¼ cup of the granulated sugar, and the lemon juice in a food processor. Pulse 2 to 3 times, gently mixing after each pulse, so that most of the strawberries are mashed up, with a few larger pieces remaining. Transfer the strawberry mixture to a container and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. In the meantime, start on the ice cream base. Warm 1 cup of the cream, the milk, the remaining ¾ cup of granulated sugar and the salt in a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat. Once the cream mixture is warmed through and the sugar is dissolved, add the vanilla bean, cover and remove from the heat. Let steep for 30 minutes.
3. Pour the remaining 1 cup heavy cream in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
4. Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula (or reaches 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer). Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the cream, then stir in the vanilla extract. Remove the strawberry mixture from the refrigerator and add it to the cream mixture, stirring to fully combine. Set the bowl in an ice bath and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Once cool, cover and place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours (or overnight).
4. Once the mixture is sufficiently chilled, remove the vanilla bean and churn the ice cream according to your ice cream maker's instructions.

I made this yesterday for my family and it was absolutely fantastic!!! Everyone had a sugar cone after dinner… and now my mom & grandma want to have a family dinner every Sunday just so I can make a weekly flavor! We floated around the pool suggesting flavor combinations then we went back inside and everyone had another cone:) Thanks so much for a great recipe and the inspiration to create more flavors… it definitely brought my family together this week and maybe start a new tradition:)
Ahhhhhhhhhh it's so refreshing to read a reviewers review that has actually made the recipe!!! I remember my aunt Louise use to make home made vanilla ice cream at family gatherings and boy did it melt in your mouth!! She had this old fashion hand crank ice cream machine !! And we'd all take turns and boy was it exhausting but the finished product was the bomb!! And I know she cooked it on the stove like this recipe and it contained eggs!! Yippee I'm excited!!!
Gosh does that look good. I forgot to comment the other day when this appeared in my mail box. I want to make this for my son when he comes home from Karate Camp. I am going to print this and make sure i have it ready next week. Thanks again for the yummy ice cream! I just made a successful batch of chocolate chunk ice cream. I am pumped to make more.
Hi Michelle, Do you (or anyone else that sees this) have any advice for a substitution of the vanilla bean? I know you can use vanilla extract but I see that that is also in the recipe. I don't have vanilla beans and can't find them anywhere in my area and I don't think I can wait anyone day to make this recipe. Thanks!
I made this recipe and realised that this recipe yields 2 quarts when I tried to fit all the ice cream mixture in the churner and it started over flowing. Half way through the churning proccess I decided to remove the excess ice cream mixture. I decreased it to one quart and my ice cream wouldn't freeze anymore as the churner had thawed by now. Well I put it in the freezer any way and the ice creams texture wasn't creamy at all. No duhh =/
I have made SOOO many of your ice cream recipes and every one a huge hit. Made this one over the weekend and I could not get my grandkids to stop eating the custard! It is delicious! I didn't have a vanilla bean so doubled the vanilla. I have noticed you reference David Lebowitz's recipes frequently, but this one couldn't possibly top his, but I will definitely see if it does. Thanks so much for this! So refreshing. Can't wait to make it for when all my kids are home Mother's Day weekend.
Hi, I just got a request to make strawberry ice cream for a birthday party this weekend – yes, in November. Despite strawberries from South America or whatever, I'm not convinced they would have the fresh strawberry flavor that they would need. Have you ever tried frozen berries? And, if you have, what advice, if any, do you have? I am finding that the frozen berries (w/o sugar added, just whole frozen) are really preferable to out of season berries (and less expensive). Obviously, the composition of a raspberry, for example, will have broken down, but in making a swirl or flavoring an ice cream where you are pulverizing them, it wouldn't make much difference.
Made this ice cream using the non-ice cream maker method because it was too much for my ice cream maker. I also used a combination of frozen and fresh strawberries. Using the freeze and stir method, the results are different – I use a wand mixer to churn, and this means that all the strawberries are pulverized, no strawberry bits left. Also, not sure if by pureeing the ice cream it increased the volume or liquid, but the mixture would not freeze. I started churning every 30 min at 7 PM, and stopped at 11:30 PM because I had to go to bed, but 3/4 of the mixture was still liquid. The result was that the ice cream was more icy/grainy than my other non-ice cream maker attempts.
The other comment I have is that there is a step at the end to take the vanilla bean out of the base before churning, but the vanilla bean gets strained out when you strain the mixture, and there is no instruction to put it back in the base.
Despite all that, got rave reviews on the ice cream.
I have a question I see some recipe with eggs and some without what is the different? I jus got my ice cream maker and havn't use it yet. So I'm asking question first. I see some have to be cooked first and some don't??? Please help Mr figure this out. The machine I bought only came with 3 recipes and each one is different. I thought you would have something like a basic recipe and just alter it a little for different ingredients but does seem to be the case.????????????
I am not a strawberry ice cream fan and neither is my family. I made this because a friend of the family likes it and I had already made vanilla and chocolate. Everybody liked it and the strawberry fan loved it. He thought it was the best strawberry ice cream and thought I should sell it. He's going to buy more ingredients for another batch. I thought it tasted extra good in a cone for some reason. Thanks for the recipe.
I love your vanilla ice cream recipe and it's always a hit so I was super excited about this one; the flavor was great but the batch I made was fairly icy and the ice cream "crumbled" when we tried to scoop it out of the container. Has this ever happened to you / what should I do differently?
Hello, hello! I made this strawberry ice cream with a little addition. At the very end of the churn I added dark chocolate using the Italian technique for stracciatella. It is divine; it's basically like a chocolate covered strawberry in ice cream form! Thank you for the recipe. It's great!!
