I really appreciate your helpful thoughts. Your voice is one that I
will share with our ad hoc committee, so they can hear from someone with
similar issues. I heartily agree with you about trying to meet student
goals instead of state mandates. Thank you for pointing out the need
for flexibility in testing and not to test students too much. That is
exactly what we are grappling with now, and the purpose of convening an
ad hoc committee of practitioners is to sort this out and make a
recommendation to the state. We are considering the recommendations
from the publisher of TABE CLAS-E and we are trying to determine whether
their recommendations will fit our programs, and if so, how they can fit
We currently have in place a state assessment policy that requires
programs that offer federally funded ESL courses to assess students in
both reading and listening with the CASAS. There are exceptions to this
with students in the lowest level of the NRS levels.
The state assessment policy also allows programs that offer the
federally funded ESL course to use BEST Plus and/or BEST Literacy. We
do not require that programs assess students with both BEST Plus
(listening and speaking) and BEST Literacy (reading and writing).
I hesitate to speak on behalf of the publishers of CASAS, TABE CLAS-E or
BEST to say what their viewpoints are on this question of how many skill
areas the state should require programs to test students in, but they
are well aware of our policy and we have had many conversations about it
that have been very helpful.
The primary reason we think it is important to test students who are
enrolled in the main ESL course we offer (federally funded) in both
reading and listening is that we have found that the majority of the
ESOL population we serve has more difficulty with their listening skill
than their reading skill. The reading test scores among our students
across the state are consistently higher than the listening scores.
There are exceptions, yes. But overall, the trend points to a strong
need for the ESOL population in Florida to be able to understand spoken
English. If we were to put in place a policy that advanced and reported
students based solely on a reading score, we would be seeing students
exit the 6 ESL levels faster. In addition, we would be seeing students
who are still weak in the listening skill, but we would be unable to
serve them with our federal funds because they had exited out of the 6
ESL levels. We believe that by having a policy that requires programs
to report student scores and to move them from one NRS level to the next
based on the lower of the two scores, we are ensuring that students are
able to get the most comprehensive education possible.
Maybe I should have expanded by saying that Florida has several other
types of courses for ESL that do not need to use tests that are approved
for reporting to the NRS. Testing for these courses is handled
differently. These are courses that are funded with state dollars only,
and they are: Literacy Skills for Adult ESOL Learners (for non-literate
students), Academic Skills for Adult ESOL Learners (for students that
are above Advanced ESL), Workplace Readiness Skills for Adult ESOL
Learners (for employed students with classes held at a place provided by
the employer), and Citizenship (to prepare for taking the USCIS
Naturalization test). The Adult Education Workplace Readiness course
allows the school and the employer to choose the method of assessment
that best fits the employer's needs. A contract between the student,
school and employer is drawn up, and when the terms of the contract are
met, the state pays an established amount to the school for the
expenditure of its resources. Of course, there are other types of
workplace educational services provided through schools that are funded
entirely by the employer, and these are not funded through adult
Bottom line is that while we provide flexibility in assessment policy
for state-funded courses, for the main course that is federally funded
and which moves students through 6 levels with cut off scores at
different points, we have required that programs that use CASAS must
test students in both reading and listening to report a placement level
and to show progression. There are exceptions to this with students in
the lowest level of the NRS levels.

additional ESL courses we offer at our adult education

By the way, I know the Crawfordsville, IN, area well - I grew up in
Illinois but my grandmother was from Indiana so I had lots of relatives
there. I think you have lots of covered bridges, right? There is a
Crawfordville in Florida (no s), about 20 minutes from Tallahassee. I
got my first exposure to teaching ESOL in the US in a small rural area
of IL (Kankakee Community College), with migrant farmworkers, in 1988.
What an experience!

Subject: [Assessment 1449] Re: TABE CLAS-E
Although I have not yet looked into the TABE CLAS-E, I find it
interesting that your state is looking at ESOL testing with regard to
how to level learners and which skill areas must be assessed. Our state
policy allows for some flexibility in this for the following reasons.
First, if it is a workplace project, and the employer is requesting
instruction in a specific skill area, then that is the area assessed and
used for leveling the learner. Also, some of our programs are very
small, have limit resources, staff, space and materials. This can make
it difficult to assess learners in all areas. Particularly in listening
because of the type of testing environment that it requires. Further,
there are times that a learner may have the goal to improve skills in a
certain area. Again, the goal would be set and the learner would only
need to be assessed in that area. I hate to see too much restriction
that gets in the way of providing classes that suit our learners needs.
Sometimes it would seem that we test our people to death, don't you
We are thankful that our state leaders have chosen to provide us with
good structure and flexibility in the assessment policy. Otherwise,
there are some programs that would find it difficult to comply with and
would not be able to report, or could not afford to serve some of our
ESL poplulation. Good luck!

Subject: [Assessment 1448] Re: TABE CLAS-E
I'm glad to see your posting, since we at the state adult education
office in Florida are asking similar questions. Florida has an ad hoc
committee on assessment that is working on a set of recommendations to
the state office on the adoption of TABE CLAS-E.
Local programs may purchase and use the test if they choose to do so for
informational purposes, such as to guide instruction, and for purposes
that are not related to documentation for state and federal adult
education grants. But until the FL Department of Education State Board
approves TABE CLAS-E to be used for reporting any placement or
progression based on test results to the state or the federal National
Reporting System (NRS).
At our statewide conference in September, we had a session on how to
select tests for adult education programs that was well attended. I
developed an in-house guide and checklist on test selection, which we
provided to the participants. I would be glad to send it offline to any
one that requests it.
CTB McGraw Hill also provided us a planning/test selection tool they
developed. You may wish to request a copy of it from Dan Gall,
Dan_Gall at ctb.com, or Stephanie Seemann, Stephanie_Seemann at ctb.com. They
have been very responsive to our queries.
The primary issue we are grappling with as a committee is whether to
recommend that the state assessment policy mandate that programs must
assess adult ESOL students in more than one skill area, and to report on
the lowest score of the skill areas tested.

Hello Everyone,
I'll keep this short.
Since TABE CLAS-E was recently approved for use by OVAE, have any states
adopted it for use in FY09? Or are planning to in FY10?
If so, would you be willing to share the issues/concerns that came up
during this process (crafting the state assessment policy, training
local program staff members, etc.)?
Based on this experience, what advice could you give to other states?

I have a black and white photograph taken in 1909 of my father Sol, who was four years old, his older sister Miriam, a younger brother Joe, his mother Leah, who looks pregnant and angry, his father Jonah, uncle Benny and his sister Rose.
The adults look solemn; the children frightened.
The men are in dark suits, the women in gowns, I wouldn't be surprised if the clothes were supplied by the photographer. Only the children seem to be wearing their own clothes. It's a formal, posed studio photograph taken to record a significant moment, perhaps their arrival in the United States.
My father looks like I did at that age, as my son did at four. I guess that means this is my family and I wasn't kidnapped from the palace of Czar Nicholas II.
Everyone in the photo has been dead for decades. Yet, during the long moments I visit with them, they are not black and white images but people who are as alive as I am. People who, as I turn away, become like fireflies, dimly sparking in the long night at the end of our days.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I was thinking, Minato's "soul" inside Naruto is not the same as the "revived Minato", so he will not remember the conversation.
There is a possibility everyone is missing. What if minato does remember everything? Seriously, what would he say: hey youre that kid sasukewho i never met but i saw in my sons memory u turn emo and fight him....not minato like if you ask me.
Here's the answer: http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=315036

I´m sorry, but I´ll counter the thread.
I believe we shall assume, just as we do with shadow clone jutu, that chakra within a clone emulates the behavior and memories of the summoner.
One of the details about it is that the summoner absorbs the experience coming from the clone, however we are to think this knowledge comes back in a more intuitive way, as Naruto describes it as a "feeling", from the time he trained with yamato .
Most likely, this is the case for Minato, his memory isn´t instant, maybe he doesn´t know he knows hahahah :D (anagnorisis)

The correct answer to the key question about the 76ers …Thursday, February 2nd, 2012
is that:
Justin Kubatko, of Basketball-Reference, doesn't mess around with numbers. He doesn't get all excited about things that don't matter. And the other day in The New York Times he wrote:
There have been 38 teams in N.B.A. history with a point differential of at least plus-10.0 points a game through their first 18 games. The median winning percentage of those teams was .753, which translates to 49.7 wins over a 66-game season. Additionally, 24 of those teams advanced to the N.B.A. finals, with 19 claiming the championship.
In short, mediocre teams do not go on extended runs in which they routinely outscored opponents by double-digit margins. If history serves as a guide, Philadelphia is a contender.
In other words, there are interesting numbers to suggest the Sixers are even money to win the title this year. Which is one nutty thing to suggest.
On the other hand, half the teams that have started this hot in NBA history did not win the title. And there is good reason to suspect these Sixers may fall into that category. They have played just about the easiest schedule in the NBA. When they have played the power teams on the road they have generally lost — at Portland, at Utah, at New York, and badly at Miami. They have also lost at home to the Nuggets and (gulp) Nets.
Unfortunately, Philadelphia is not yet a legitimate contender to win the NBA Championship this season … since there are 5 teams in the Eastern Conference with more overall talent on their roster.
Although Philadelphia is a much better team than many so-called "NBA experts" may have erroneously projected in the off and/or pre season, in reality, this team is also not nearly as good as the number-crunchers might try to tell you it is, at this point in the season, based on their marginal of victory to-date … and, until the 76ers actually have Top 4 talent on their roster, they should not ever be considered as one of the few legitimate contending teams in the hunt for the NBA Championship in a given season, at least, by an authentic NBA expert.

Portland Press Pass
Sorry for the lack between entries. I intended to write about my Portland adventures much sooner, but I went on a fairly impromptu trip to North Carolina to visit some colleges. I have to tell you, I absolutely loved everything about UNC Chapel Hill: It's a beautiful campus, Franklin Street is just the kind of "downtown" I'm looking for, its school spirit is unparalleled, and its journalism program is fantastic.
but I mean it's not really… I can hit every pitch, it depends on how they throw
it, when they throw it, where they throw it… If they throw a slider away, and I
don't recognize it. Just depends where it is, when it is, the quality of it." I really hope this isn't a "breach of trust" or whatever. The only reason I'm publishing it is because when he said it, I was thinking: 'Wow, his confidence is impressive. He'll try anything." If he had said a specific pitch, I would not have written it.
not set, and he throws it, and youre not set, and well don't swing cuz youre not
gonna be able to do anything with it, but there's times when I'll just look at
it and try to time it.
fastball for the most part, gear up for fastball, lookin for it, if it's not
there you just swing thorugh it or don't swing
starter I'll try to see a couple more pitches my first at-bat just to see what
he's like. But the relievers, I mean guy is in the bullpen for a reason. They
don't have the stuff that starters do. I don't want to say easier, but you like
to get to the bullpen.
E: Is there a mentality change for you if you have men on base, if there are a certain amount of outs in an inning, or if there's a difference in the score?
AR: Guy on third, if a guy leaves an offspeed pitch up, I don't
care where it is, I'll swing so I can drive him in. just get a fly ball to
center or wherever. One out, two out, just try and get on base.
E: If you're trying to get a fly ball or a ground ball, do you swing differently?
AR: Pitches up ball, fly ball, down, ground ball
E:Favorite ballpark? (Majors, then minors)
AR: Fenway/Hadlock Field
E: If you could play catch with any player of all time, who would you choose?
AR: Babe Ruth
E: Biggest transition from aluminum to wooden bats?
AR: It's weighted differently,
the wood bats. But in high school I swung wood bats a lot, so it wasn't really
that difficult.
E: Hypothetically speaking, if you're in a slump, how long do you want before changing your mechanics?
AR: It's really all mental: slumps. It's nothing mechanical for
the most part. Guys got here cuz they're good. You can't be too mechanical or
else you're not gonna succeed. It's really mental.
E: Favorite video game, movie, and food
AR: Call of Duty 4, Superbad, Pasta (rigatoni)
E: Favorite restaurant in Miami?
AR: Cafe Bella Sera
Ryan Khoury Interview
E: Favorite team growing up?
RK: Seattle Mariners
E: Favorite player?
RK: Ken Griffey Jr
E: Did you try to emulate his stance?
RK: Not really as far as stance, but I had a Ken Griffey Jr
outfield glove as my infield glove when I was 11, but I just had to have it
because it had Ken Griffey's name on it.
Like Anthony, I also asked Ryan about his easiest and hardest pitch to hit. He also said straight fastball for easiest, but he did have an answer for the most difficult pitch to it, so I won't mention that. That doesn't mean he is any less of a ballplayer, it just means that some pitches are harder to hit than others.
E: Does the count have an impact on your at-bat?
RK: Once you move up to higher levels here, and especially
triple-A, pitchers obviously have more control and they're willing to throw
off speed pitches in counts when they're behind and you're ahead. Like maybe a
2-0 count. But in college ball and in the low minors you're pretty much gonna
see a fastball 100% because they want to throw something that they can throw a
strike with. But when you move up that starts to get less and less. When youre
in the lower minors you can kind of figure out what they're gonna throw by the
count. Usually if theyre behind in the count they'll come with a fastball cuz
they don't want to walk people but it definitely has an impact and obviously
the scouting reports we have on guys we keep track of what they throw when
theyre ahead in the count, behind in the count so that helps us out a lot.
E: Hardest level transition?
RK: My first year I went from Lowell to Pawtucket cuz one of the
guys retired so I was supposed to go in for a day or two, but it ended up being
longer so that ended up being interesting. But I guess I'd say from High-A to
Double-AA. It's just kind of what I was talking about before, just that they
pitch you a little bit differently, they have more control, and they're able to
throw their offspeed pitches for strikes and they'll throw it at any count. Kind of low minors you see straight fastballs and up here you see cutters and
two seamers, which is still a little bit of a fastball it just has some
movement on it, so that's probably the biggest difference
E:Does it take you long to adjust to a new manager?
RK: Every manager that I've been with has been pretty much the
same they just kind of let you go and do your thing, and they'll help you out a
little bit, but I haven't really had anyone that I've had to adjust to or they
make you adjust to them
E: Difference between facing starters, relievers, and closers?
RK: Starters for the most part are they have a little bit higher
arsenal of pitches obviously because they have to face more batters so they
need to get through the lineup once or twice at least where as middle relievers
only have to face only have to go one inning or two, they're only facing you
one time so they don't need to have you know the four or five different pitches
and then closers obviously are probably gonna go with their two best pitches
maybe a third because they just need to get three outs so theres definitely a
difference in kind of their pitch repertoires.
E: Is there a mentality change for you if you have men on base, if there are a certain amount of outs in an inning, or if there's a difference in the score?
RK: We work a lot on when we are in those pressure situations
how we deal with pressures to not really think of the situation. I mean obviously if there is a
guy on third and no outs you change your approach a little bit to where you
want to get a flyball to the outfield or to get a sac fly if you don't get a
hit but as far as changing your approach we try to stay fairly similar in our
at bats in those different situations.
E: If you could play catch with any baseball player of all time?
RK: Ken Griffey Jr. or Bob Gibson
E: Favorite video game, movie, food.
RK: NCAA Football/Step Brothers/Enchiladas or chicken and rice or sushi
E: Biggest fear?
RK: Not having fun in life and not really getting out of life
whatever comes your way. I mean I don't really set specific, exact goals of what
exactly I want to do because life is always kind of changing. Kind of not
appreciating life and not having fun and living in the moment.
pregame Expo Interview.MP3: This is the interview that was on the radio before Weiland's game. I was able to interview Weiland the day following his start. I didn't want to interview him just because he threw so well. I had wanted to interview him before because I think he is highly underrated and constantly overlooked.
Kyle Weiland interview
E: Favorite food, movie, book, video game
KW: Prime rib/Bull Durham/Scar Tissue/Call of Duty 5
E: Biggest fear?
KW: Drowning
E: Impact of having an extra day off, or having to sit through a rain delay on your mentality?
KW: You just have to make adjustments especially in this league
especially early around theres a lot of switching around it's just something
you have to get used to. Don't let it affect you. Same approach next day. Delay
keep your mind occupied until it's time to get after it.
E: Do you change your approach when pitching from the stretch?
KW: Last year was when I learned actually pitching with guys on
base it's something you acquire to be able to hold baserunners on and be able
to make quality pitches still from the stretch. Something I worked on last year
and this year it has kind of become second nature instead of something that's
on the back of my mind.
E: Did you ever bat in college?
KW: I got one at-bat in college. I'm batting 1.000 in college. First
pitch I went up there swining. I got a base hit through the hole in left. I hit
a lot in high school I was probably a better hitter than pitcher in my senior
E: Do you miss it?
KW: Not watching these guys in this league pitch I don't think
id be very successful in the box
E: How is running the bases different from sprinting (theoretically)?
KW: I think you can accidentally just go a little overboard and
not know it just because adrenaline is going and it's not something youre used
to do it and youre gonna give it all your effort.
KW: If I wear a certain pair of socks the start before and it was
a good outing then I wear them the next time.
E: I noticed your changeball working well last night, and you were getting a lot of outs with it. Is that your out pitch?
KW: I would definitely say that my curveball is the out pitch.
My changeup was working last night and that allowed me to use my fastball and
curveball right.
E: Sox Prospects describes your curveball as a "slurve." Do you agree with that? How do you describe it?
KW: It depends on the day. Sometimes it's more slurvely,
sometimes it's more up and down. I don't fight to get a certain pitch one
outing. Whatever comes up that day that's what I adjust to.
*This is where my makeshift recorder dies*
E: I've seen so many pitchers throw badly, why do you think that is?
KW: Probably adjusting from a 60 foot throw to a 30 foot throw.
E: Difference between facing batters with aluminum vs wooden bats?
KW: If you jam guys with aluminum bats, they can still muscle it out in college, but it breaks in pro.
E: Toughest level jump and why?
KW: Toughest was the beginning because I skipped Greenville. I put too much pressure on myself. I learned how to pitch last year.
E: What do you mean by that?
KW: Basically making adjustments if a pitch isn't working. Especially at this level.
E: Biggest thing you got out of spring training?
KW: Watching the big leaguers.
E: Hobbies in down time?
KW: Video games and guitar
E: If you weren't playing baseball, what would you be doing instead?
KW: Finishing my anthropology major.
I started to become a lot more comfortable sitting in the press box. I was all set up with my laptop and my notebook. I would look up statistics before a game, and the starters' arsenal, so I could identify each pitch. They give you a lot of resources in the press box like game notes, which give you interesting, misc. tidbits about the game. It's really quite helpful to look through it before a game.
Everyone in the press box was very kind. I even got to meet Dick Berardino, who is currently a player development consultant for the Red Sox, and has been a part of the organization for a long time. Carl Beane, the PA announcer at Fenway, as also around, so I was able to meet him as well.
What I really appreciated from Mr. Cameron and Mr. Antonellis was not only how welcoming they were, but how much they seemed to trust me. They really let me do a lot of hands on things. The fact that they trusted me enough to write official game stories and do pregame interviews really meant the world to me. And let me tell you, the view from the press box there is nothing short of spectacular.

nice, lady. i love the bases empty two run homer, though😉
The article you said your enjoyed writing most was the best of that bunch. I was a bit hesitant when you started it almost like a Poe story with the Foggy night. If it had been a yellow Prufrock foggy night out of the T.S. Eliot canon, and you referenced that somehow without going Dennis Miller humor on your audience I would've said … shut up, college has nothing to teach you.
Actually. College has very little to teach you. Your interviewing was random and spitfire good. Keep them honest and out of the cliches with a little levity. See, I'm a failed journalism major turned English/Creative Writing/History major burn out slacker. Your prose is very well. If you haven't already, study Hemingway's sentence structure and how he choose words to make you almost taste the fruit he's describing.

Quick Links
It's a program designed to allow a well-qualified Purdue Food Science student to begin the Master's requirements during senior year. It combines an honors-caliber undergraduate program with a traditional two-year M.S. program, i.e., the senior year and first year of the Master's program are combined into one. 4 + 1 students can expect to take 1-3 graduate-level classes during both semesters of his or her senior year, in addition to meeting the remaining undergraduate requirements and starting a thesis research project.
You must be a Purdue undergraduate with a strong academic record. Preferably, you will complete an internship or co-op in the food industry prior to your senior year. You should be interested and enthusiastic about expanding your Food Science knowledge. You must be a self-motivated person comfortable carrying a full and challenging load of classes while making progress on a research project.
You could be finished in five years, compared to a total of six years for a B.S and traditional M.S. degree. 4 + 1 students complete requirements that are identical to those a traditional M.S. student must complete. The only difference is the combination of the final year of undergraduate study with the first year of the graduate program. A wider variety of career options becomes available to you with a graduate degree. Many food companies will not consider a B.S. candidate for an R&D or product development position. With an M.S., you can pursue these positions, or continue on to obtain your Ph.D.
It can be stressful and frustrating at times and requires a lot of sacrifice of your time. Every graduate student has to work crazy hours at some point in the program, however, 4 + 1 students can expect to start working those long hours sooner. You will need to work long days during the week, a lot of weekends, and even sacrifice some holidays, e.g., you may not have time for a spring break.
Undergraduates interested in the 4+1 program should speak with Dr. Lisa Mauer.

My Baby is 5 months and I've gone back to work. So Grandma feeds her cereal for breakfast and Gerber food for lunch and she tries the bottle inbetween. But I feed her when I get home at 3pm. I am afraid she is losing weight.
My Baby is 5 months and I've gone back to work. So Grandma feeds her cereal for breakfast and Gerber food for lunch and she tries the bottle inbetween. But I feed her when I get home at 3pm. I am afraid she is losing weight.
Hello! You are worried your baby is not getting enough?
Can you give an example of a daily diet? When she eats, what she eats and amount, if possible? Do you know how much she weighs?
This link on "How much expressed milk will my baby need" states the following:
Please see if this page helps you. Do you have a doctor to call and speak about this situation?The research tells us that exclusively breastfed babies take in an average of 25 oz (750 mL) per day between the ages of 1 month and 6 months. Different babies take in different amounts of milk; a typical range of milk intakes is 19-30 oz per day (570-900 mL per day).

I lost 22 lbs in 8 months... with a bit of determination and common sense information from this book.
Can you make the ceral with ebm? rice ceral has very few calories and sort of acts like a filer. I'd try a sippy cup, or a syringe, for milk.
I totally understand your concern. My little one also refuses a bottle, sippy cup and anything else thats not me. I attempted to go back to work when she was 4 months (7p-7a) but it did not work out. She would cry all night for my husband and he even tried bringing her to me at 11p so i could feed her hoping she would go down for the night after that feeding but by the time he got home she was screaming again. Needless to say i only lasted 2 weeks back at work. Thank god my employer was very understanding and allowed me to take another leave. We are now consistently trying to get her on a schedule as well as a bottle so i can return to work. We also tried feeding her cereal which would hold her over for a little but not long enough.
Like you, i was also concerned she was losing weight. She is very small to begin with (4th percentile for weight) and because i work 12 hour shifts (i am a nurse) it was just too long for her to go with out eating.
Good luck with your little one, stay positive and keep trying the bottle! Eventually it will work!!

My Favorite Announcers
I live in Charlestown, MA so my commute to McCoy Stadium for a PawSox home game is 48 minutes each way with no traffic.
(The course record is 43 minutes, but don't tell the state troopers)
Two things make the drive tolerable. For starters, there are 16 Dunkin Donuts franchises between my house and the ballpark, so there's never a shortage of caffeine. But more importantly, I can pass the time by listening to any live major league baseball game on XM Radio.
I love listening to the different announcers and try to pick up little nuances that can help me get better behind the mic. I'm a strong believer that the worst thing you can do is try to copy another announcer, but I also believe that you can improve by finding things you like (and don't like) in other broadcasters.
Last night following the PawSox 3-2 loss to Durham, I listened to the San Diego Padres' announcers Ted Leitner and Andy Mazur call a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Leitner is something of a polarizing announcer – people either love him or hate him – but he's one of my favorites. His style is totally unique – a stream of consciousness that includes play-by-play, comedy, commentary, and some cheerleading for his beloved Padres. I couldn't pull it off, but Ted sure does and I really enjoy listening to him.
Here's a quick Top 5 that I love to listen to on XM.
Vin Scully (LA Dodgers). The gold standard and still the best in the business at the age of 81. I've included this link before, but read the transcript of Scully's call of Sandy Koufax's 1965 perfect game and you'll truly appreciate his brilliance.
Here's a Scully story. A few years ago, I filled-in on a few Cincinnati Reds telecasts in Los Angeles and San Diego. The road trip began at Dodger Stadium and the final game of the series was not on TV, so I drove to San Diego a day early to play golf with my color analyst Chris Welsh. On the drive south, we listened to Scully call the final game of the Reds/Dodgers series and his broadcast was filled with interesting information about Cincinnati players that neither one of us knew – despite being about the team every day for years. Above all, Scully is a master storyteller with total command of the language.
Jon Miller (San Francisco Giants). Sure he does a great job on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, but Miller shines brightest on the radio. In my opinion, Miller uses his voice better than any other announcer. It helps that he has a great one, but he plays it like a Stradivarius. His call of the game is pretty straight-forward, and no one can make the basics of baseball sound so exciting.
Miller was the subject of a great story last week on a Washington Post blog.
Marty Brennaman (Cincinnati Reds). The most candid home team announcer in the history of broadcasting. If the Reds are screwing up, Marty isn't afraid to say so. But that's not the only thing that makes him one of my heroes. He's funny, opinioned, quick to poke fun at himself, and an absolute master at making his broadcasting partners sound good. And I get to work with him next month! (More on that later)
Perhaps the most amazing thing about Marty is that in more than three decades of broadcasting Reds games, he's never botched a big moment. WLW-AM, the Reds flagship station, has saved the classic audio of all of the major events during his tenure and Marty nailed every one. That's a streak of DiMaggio-esque proportions.
Dave O'Brien (Boston Red Sox). We are blessed in Red Sox nation to have O'Brien behind the mic. For starters, his voice is magnificent, but Dave is the total package – smart, funny, descriptive, and well-prepared. I don't know that anyone sounds better at calling an exciting play than O'Brien.
Dave Neihaus (Seattle Mariners). One thing that all of the greats have in common is that they sound like they're having a great time, and no one embodies that more than Neihaus. There is a joyous tone to his voice every night, and the ballpark sounds like a magical place to be when he's behind the mic.
Other XM Radio favorites include Eric Nadel (Texas Rangers), Jerry Howarth (Toronto Blue Jays), Pat Hughes (Chicago Cubs), Howie Rose (NY Mets), and Dan Shulman (ESPN).
If I could include favorite TV announcers, former PawSox announcer Gary Cohen (NY Mets), Josh Lewin (Texas Rangers), Dave Sims (Seattle Mariners), Matt Vasgersian (MLB Network) and Sean McDonough (ESPN) would be at the top of the list.
* * * * *
I have another opportunity to fill-in on a Cincinnati Reds broadcast coming up next month. I'll join Hall of Famer Marty Brennaman on the radio on July 27th against the San Diego Padres.
The Reds went 2-1 when I filled-in in Pittsburgh last month, so I'll try to bring them some good luck at Great American Ball Park in July.
Perhaps there will be someone on the PawSox disabled list at that point who can take my place in the booth with Steve Hyder. Jeff Natale was awesome when I had laryngitis.
* * * * *
Tuesday is a Clay Buchholz Night at McCoy Stadium. For the season, Clay is 4-0 with a 1.74 ERA and his numbers have been mind-boggling in his last 7 starts: 4-0 with a 1.52 ERA (47.1 IP, 26 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 5 BB, 45 K). Buchholz has not allowed a walk in his last 23.1 IP.
If you can't make it out to McCoy, I hope you'll join us for the radio call beginning with the pre-game show at 6:50 on the Pawtucket Red Sox radio network or PawSox.com.
I'd love to hear from you. The address is email@example.com.

Dan, you're killing me. I don't have XM, but the availability of radio and TV for every team online makes me wish I had more hours in the day!
"play-by-play, comedy, commentary, and some cheerleading for his beloved Padres"
The Padres are my NL team. Even just reading your description I can hear the cadence of Ted's voice! I love him. (And while I actually get to see and hear more of him, I know my Padres fan buddies were very sad to lose Matt Vasgersian to MLBN!)
We're very lucky to have you and Steve for the PawSox. It's one thing to hear TV announcers when you can see the game yourself (which is not to say I'm not fond of the NESN crew, and I've learned a lot about watching a game from Remy!) but to enjoy a radio broadcast I need to feel not only that I trust the announcers to describe what I can't see, but that I'd sit down with them for a conversation. I want accuracy, of course, but I really appreciate the distinctive personalities. I appreciate VERY much how much you and Steve tell us about the PawSox in general and the individual games–and I also appreciate it when you tell us how dinner the previous night at the Extra-Mart was "the finest mass-produced chocolate chip cookie" you've ever had.
I DO wish very much that MLB still archived radio broadcasts for AAA… I always listened to the previous night's PawSox game at work the next day.
Look forward to hearing you with Marty next month. You will have to try your best to talk him into getting an MLBlog.Russhttp://wight4256.mlblogs.com
Let Joe Simpson be the lead announcer. He is plenty knowledgeable and has a pleasant, not over-bearing manner that fits baseball announcing well. I've heard them all, including the teletype background noise where the announcer heard what happened over the teletype, while sitting in an office back home, then created a story around a pitched ball. "Tommy Bridges is set and hear comes the pitch. It catches the inside corner for strike two!" Joe Simpson has the modern day saavy and skills to do the job.

Welcome to San Diego
The Padres have made quite a few moves in the last few weeks. Keeps things exciting around here, I guess.
Last week we signed veteran Matt Stairs as our annual pinch-hitter/DH guy. I say annual because we've signed guys for this role at least three times in the last three years with little or no success. Example #1: Tony Clark in 2008. We signed him as our veteran bench guy who could be our DH and we traded him in the middle of the season, back to the team we got him from in the first place. Needless to say, he did not work out quite as the Padres had hoped.
Example #2: Cliff Floyd in 2009. Again, we signed him as our veteran pinch hitter dude who would be able to be our DH in our interleague games. I think he got hurt before the season even started and never really came back at all. So much for him.
So that brings us to our third attempt at a guy who can hit well off the bench late in a game and actually do well in the DH spot. If he's not hurt by then.
I always get excited about these pinch-hitter-DH-type guys, but they always seem to let me down for some reason. I love it when a guy can come into the game late and get an essential hit or walk or whatever. But the Padres just haven't been able to find a guy who's really consistent. Let's hope that this Stairs guy can change that. Welcome to the Padres.
The big signing of the week is pitcher Jon Garland. For some reason, I keep thinking that he was on the Angels. Wasn't there a Garland on the Angels recently? Anyways, I think this is a very good move on the Padres' part. He'll be a great 3 or 4 spot starter, and will hopefully give us a lot of innings.
It keeps some of the younger guys in Triple-A for a while, and that way they can come up in the event of an injury.
The rotation is looking great: Chris Young, Kevin Correia, Jon Garland, Mat Latos, and Clayton Richard. LOVE IT!!
We're going to have a great corps of starting pitchers this year. As long as they stay healthy and uninjured, it's going to be a great year. I'm sooo excited!!🙂
I'm also getting really excited about the Padres Fan Fest!! Just over two weeks away!!

Yup, Darth Garland pitched for the Angels back in 2008, even though for most of his career he's been with the ChiSox. Hopefully he'll stick with the Padres for a while and become a mainstay in their rotation…
You sure love the picture I found, right?🙂 I'm so freaking excited for Fan Fest!! As for the Padres news, things are looking very good. Great pickups by Jed Hoyer and he is a genius. Can't wait for baseball!
Thankfully Garland is no longer in the AL. Always hated seeing him pitch against Boston. He's an amazing pitcher who I hope will one day be a member of the Boston Red Sox. Haha, that's never gonna happen though. Is it April yet?
Kaybee: Aw, you got Garland! Haha he's a cutie…I bet Cat misses him. Your Padres have improved quite a bit this offseason. Lol they are competing with my Yanks. SEE YOU IN THE WORLD SERIES!!!!
PS: How are you doing about Kouz?
Garland was in our division ALL YEAR last year with the Diamondbacks & Dodgers, helped the Dodgers to the division title, will be a decent pick-up for the Pads.
I love that Cat in the Cat picture. Yes, Virginia, I will miss Garland.
Funny photo of Kouz!😉 I hope Garland can give your pitching staff some stability and mentoring!
Haha Kaybee!
I forgot that I also got that hat at Petco Park last year!
I am looking foward to the Dodger Caravan next week but I heard that the rain is coming back next week.


text: The oval face shape has long been held up on the "perfection pedestal". We always hear people talking about how the oval is the perfect face shape. Sure, almighty oval is often more versatile when it comes to haircuts + styles but the "perfect face" by definition actually has nothing to do with shape at all- it has to do with ratio (which we'll talk about in my next post after we finish face shapes). An oval is typically 3 parts long to 2 parts wide. In other words, the width of your face is about 1/3 less than the length of your face. There are also no major corners on an oval face shape– not around the hairline or on the jawline. If you missed the chart to find your face shape, you can find it HERE! Let's discuss some great hair options for the oval face, shall we? (more…)

Lunsford loses parental rights
The West Virginia Supreme Court upheld a Lewis County judge's decision to terminate parental rights to the mother of a child who has been missing for more than a year.
Lena Lunsford, the mother of Aliayah Lunsford and six other children, had appealed Judge Thomas Keadle's ruling from May 2012. Lunsford and her children were identified by their initials in the Supreme Court decision announced on Feb. 11.
"Courts are not required to exhaust every speculative possibility of parental involvement … where it appears that the welfare of the child will be seriously threatened," the justices stated in their unanimous affirmation of the lower court decision.
Lunsford is scheduled to be released from prison later this month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons website. She is serving an eight-month sentence for welfare fraud.
Aliayah Lunsford was 3 years old at the time of her still-unexplained disappearance in September 2011. Her disappearance prompted the state Department of Health and Human Resources in October to file an abuse and neglect petition, alleging imminent danger to the remaining children in Lena and Ralph Lunsford's care. According to the Supreme Court memorandum, neither parent has been able to provide an explanation as to the child's disappearance, and each hs "vaguely accused" the other for the disappearance.
At the May 2012 hearing regarding the termination of parental rights, the court found that the "parents have more knowledge about (Aliayah Lunsford's) whereabouts than they revealed but refused to provide that information to the court."
Lena Lunsford argued that she was never given a chance to correct the alleged abuse/neglect situation through an improvement period. But the respondents in the case countered that without an explanation or correction of whatever led to Aliayah Lunsford's disappearance, there could be no assurance that the other children in the home can be safe in their parents' care.
The Supreme Court memorandum also cited a report of a domestic violence incident in which it was alleged that "the children's father attempted to cut Lena Lunsford's throat." The memorandum did not identify the name nor the initials of the father involved in the alleged incident, as two different men are fathers to the various children. Lena Lunsford has filed for divorce from her husband Ralph. The couple had been ordered to live apart after he acknowledged buying bath salts at the former Hot Stuff and Cool Things store in Clarksburg.
Lena Lunsford argued that the abuse and neglect petition was based solely on Aliayah Lunsford's disappearance and not on any prior domestic violence issues or parenting concerns. She claimed "that the disappearance alone is not enough to show (Lena Lunsford) did anything wrong or enough to terminate her parental rights," according to the Supreme Court memorandum.
Aliayah disappeared Sept. 24, 2011 from a rented home near Bendale. She's never been found.
Lena Lunsford told police her daughter had been ill and was vomiting the night before. Aliayah was in her bed at 6:30 a.m., her mother claimed, but missing when she went to check on her a few hours later.
Authorities have made no arrests and identified no suspects. The FBI has refused to say whether agents believe Aliayah is still alive, but it has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to her recovery or an arrest. Investigators have described the persons of interest in the case as "a small universe."
Lena Lunsford was indicted weeks after Aliayah's disappearance on charges that she illegally swapped welfare benefits for cash five times in two months. She pleaded guilty to selling $114 worth of credit on her food-stamp card for $50 cash and reported to prison last June.
Ralph Lunsford also acknowledged in his testimony that police had considered him a person of interest and repeatedly questioned him in Aliayah's disappearance.
Lena Lunsford gave birth to twins after Aliayah disappeared and before she went to prison. They were taken into state custody with the other children. She later filed for divorce.

December 16, 2013 —
On Wednesday 12/11/13 at approximately 6:30 AM Corporal Blake Starner and Deputy Rich Morgan of the Sullivan County Sheriff's Patrol responded to a 911 call of shots fired in the vicinity of 6744 State Route 52 in Lake Huntington.
At the location, a witness directed the deputies to a nearby apartment from which the shots were believed to have been fired. The deputies observed several spent shotgun shells on the ground and one on the porch of the residence. As Corporal Starner approached the front door, he observed the muzzle of a gun poke through the blinds on the door's window. The gun was pointing directly at him.
Starner shouted to Deputy Morgan that he observed a gun and took cover. Morgan, who had been checking the side of the residence, responded to the front porch area where Starner was. In the process, Deputy Morgan slipped on a patch of ice on the porch and fell to the ground near the front door. The suspect, who had pointed the muzzle of a gun through the blinds on the door, exited the residence and pointed a shotgun at Morgan. A brief standoff ensued as both Morgan and Starner ordered the suspect to drop his weapon. The suspect eventually complied and was taken into custody.
The deputies recovered a 12 gauge Mossberg shotgun. There was one spent and one live shell in the weapon. The suspect, who was identified as John E. Manolis, Jr., 37, was charged with 2 counts of Felony Menacing of a Police Officer and unlawfully discharging a weapon within 500 feet of a dwelling. He was arraigned by Judge Steven Sauer in the Town of Cochecton Justice court and sent to the Sullivan County Jail without bail.
Sheriff Mike Schiff said that this incident is the third "close call" for his deputies in the past 14 months. On September 28, 2012 a Patrol Lieutenant who responded to a report of a neighbor dispute in Cochecton was attacked by a naked man who tried to take his gun.
On May 19th of this year, deputies responded to a report of an emotionally disturbed man who claimed to work for the CIA. The man pulled a revolver out of a night stand and then fought with the deputies when they tried to take him into custody. "In all three of those cases there were only two patrols on the road for the entire county, due to our diminished manpower", said the Sheriff. In last Thursday's Public Safety Committee meeting before the County Legislature, the Sheriff repeated his request for additional patrol deputies in the 2014 budget.

Seven of the whopping 67 entries got a giggle out of me in my first month as judge, but the winner made me laugh so hard I almost choked.
I counted a whopping 67 entries in the February caption contest. Not bad for a short month with a couple of holidays in it, three if you count Groundhogs Day.
Competition was stiff. I liked seven entries, but I liked the one from Doug S. the best:
Ever since Dave sequenced the DNA of a kudzu vine and a boa constrictor, any managers who interfered with his gene splicing work seemed to mysteriously disappear.
Congrats, Doug S. Please drop me a line with your mailing address and I will ask cartoonist Daniel Guidera to create and mail to you a color version of the art with your caption on it as your prize.
This was my first month judging the results, a job Id like to share with a team of humor-loving engineers in the future. If you would like to be part of the EE Life Ad Hoc Caption Contest Judging Panel, please drop me a line at email@example.com.
You will have to recuse yourself from judging your own entry, of course. In exchange for your efforts, you will be made immortal with your name appearing in the flashing digits of stories about the EE Life Caption Contest on thousands of flat-screen displays--and maybe even a few CRTs!
The judging panel may be a short term honor. Eventually I want to poll the entire EE Life community and crowd source the job. But Ill need a little time to get that project off the launching pad, so until then, let me hear from some volunteers.
Now a shout out to the runners up in the February contest
First runner up was Bnowak: "Bob, you misunderstood my request for the company to pursue a Green initiative."
Second runner up was seaEE: "Clyde, I haven't found the resonant frequency of this circuit yet, but I seem to be getting some weird antenna effects. Clyde?"
And heres a shout out to several honorable mentions who gave me a giggle:
Chris.Wyland: Bob can't join the webex. He's wrapped up in an exit interview.
matt.perry: Jack had warned the bean counters to stay away.
NoNIckName_#2: Bad News: When Richie's LED grow light phase locked at his potted plant's resonant frequency, his Creeping Charlie outgrew his office. Good News: The manager head count seems to be going down.
BrainiacV: Carl calmly demonstrated his new biotechnology to the consternation of the rep from Plantronics.
Now its onward to March for even more laughs!

"Alternative" cancer cures in 1979: How little things have changed
Sometimes blogging topics arise from the strangest places. It's true. For instance, although references to how tobacco causes cancer and the decades long denialist campaign by tobacco companies are not infrequently referenced in my blogging (particularly from supporters of highly dubious studies alleging a link between cell phone radiation and cancer and the ham-handed misuse of the analogy by antivaccinationists, who seem to think that vaccine companies engage in deceit on a scale similar to the deceptive practices of tobacco companies in "denying" that vaccines cause autism and all the other conditions, diseases, and horrors their fevered imaginations attribute to them), I've never really delved particularly deeply into one of the most useful repositories of documents on the topic that exists, namely the UCSF Legacy Tobacco Documents Library. Actually, the reason I started poking around there is not due to tobacco science, but because a fellow blogger mentioned to me that there were some articles and documents about Stanislaw Burzynski there dating back to the late 1970s. My curiosity was piqued.
As I explored, however, I learned that the documents there were not so much about Stanislaw Burzynski per se. In fact, they were more about the state of the underground "alternative cancer cures" industry in the late 1970s, which interested me greatly. The reason is that, when it comes to having delved so deeply into cancer quackery, I'm a relative newbie. Compared to, for example, Wally Sampson, Stephen Barrett, Peter Moran, or even Kimball Atwood, I'm inexperienced, having only noticed this phenomenon in a big way in the Usenet newsgroup misc.health.alternative back around 2001 or so, give or take a year. As a result, I don't have the shared historical perspective that they do, mainly because I can only learn about that era from reading, studying, and talking to people who were active then. After all, in the late 1970s I was still in high school, and in the 1980s I was in college and medical school. There was no Internet (at least none that I had access to and that contained the wealth of easily accessible information to which we have become accustomed). In any case, in high school I had other interests, and throughout the 1980s I was too focused on getting an education and training to be a surgeon and researcher, a process that extended into the late 1990s. (Yes, it takes that long sometimes, particularly if you are masochistic enough to want to get a PhD, complete a general surgery residency, and do a fellowship in surgical oncology.)

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a general term that refers to a bacterial infection of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. It is a common but serious complication of certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), particularly chlamydia and gonorrhea. If left untreated, PID can cause significant damage to the organs, as well as to the tissues in and around them. Serious consequences of an ignored case of PID could include ectopic pregnancy, abscess formation and chronic pelvic pain. PID is also the leading cause of infertility in women.
PID occurs when bacteria move upward from the vagina or cervix into the fallopian tubes, ovaries and uterus, and cause an infection. There are several types of bacteria that can cause PID, but most cases are associated with two very common STDs - gonorrhea and chlamydia. It is entirely possible to develop PID without having gonorrhea or chlamydia, but it is rare.
Some women are more likely to develop PID than others. A prior infection increases the risk of another episode because the reproductive organs may have been damaged the first time around. If you have had an STD or have more than one sex partner, you also run a greater risk of developing PID. In addition, sexually active women under the age of 25 are more likely to develop PID than those over 25 because the cervix has not fully matured, making young women more susceptible to the STDs that are linked to PID.
Douching can also increase your risk of developing PID. There is a chance that doing so could flush bacteria into the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes and cause an infection. Douching can also hide the signs of an infection. If you don't know something is wrong, you can't take the necessary steps to correct it. Also, women who have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted may be at a slightly greater risk of PID than women who use other methods of contraception. If you are planning on having an IUD inserted, your should be tested for STDs prior to the insertion to reduce your risk of any bacteria being pushed upward through your vagina or cervix.
Signs and Symptoms
After being infected, it can take from a few days to a few months to develop PID, and symptoms of the infection can range from none to severe. When PID is caused by chlamydia, for instance, a woman may experience mild or no symptoms at all, although serious damage is being done to her reproductive organs. About two thirds of the time, such inconspicuous symptoms cause PID to go undetected by women and their doctors. The more recognizable symptoms of PID include lower abdominal and pelvic pain, fever, chills, unusual vaginal discharge, painful intercourse and irregular menstrual bleeding.
Complications from PID occur in one out of four infected women and can include ovarian abscess, chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy and infertility. An ectopic pregnancy can lead to further complications, such as severe pain, internal bleeding and even death. Furthermore, without prompt treatment, PID can cause permanent damage to the reproductive organs. Infectious bacteria can cause normal tissue in the fallopian tubes to turn into scar tissue, which can block the normal movement off eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. If scar tissue completely blocks the fallopian tubes, sperm cannot fertilize an egg and the woman becomes infertile. About one in eight women with PID becomes infertile.

Reading room progress
the transformation from our old dining room into the new, improved reading room is almost complete. In stark contrast to my usual fabric choices for my shop our home is kept mostly in neutrals.
The couch takes up most of the space. Sorry for the darkness - it's been raining for a couple of days now. I've put that old occasional table there for the time being. That needs to be replace by a round wooden one, if and when we find one. Sammy looks tiny on the couch, doesn't he? Now we all know he's huge, so the shot I took of him is misleading. We still need to find a nice carpet for the couch area, reading lamps and some decorative pieces, which I will probably source from Etsy. I like the way the room feels now.
wishing everyone a lovely day!

It looks beautiful, I am so jealous (but in a good way, lol).ReplyDelete
I've always promised myself a reading room, but life just keeps getting in the way!
Hello Duni! I love the use of neutrals in your house. I usually prefer houses with white and other neutral colors as base point then later on play with furniture and pieces with colors. You really love flowers, I can see two beautiful long stemmed flowers on the pictures. Are they fresh flowers? I might be again fooled like your mannequins. Hahaha! Have a great day!ReplyDelete
I'd take a reading room over a dining room any day! I'm very envious of that bookcase.ReplyDelete
It looks great! I can't believe that you have extra space for books. All of our shelves are overflowing haha.ReplyDelete
I love what you did with the place Duni. And that bookcase is really pretty. I have been planning on doing a little interior redecorating. I wanted to redecorate my bedroom or the family library, but I just haven't found the time to do so.ReplyDelete
And that orchid is beautiful! I hope you enjoy your new room! It looks like Sammy already is!ReplyDelete
Good Job. Good use of all the space. A nice place to sit and read those books.ReplyDelete

I love it! it looks so streamlined, clean and comfy. Want a friend over for some tea and a book critique?ReplyDelete
It looks fantastic. I like the neutral colors. The best part about them is that you can add a splash of color here and there and easily change it if you want to. It looks like a very comfy spot to sit with a good book.ReplyDelete
I love reading rooms. They're my favorite room in any house that has one : )ReplyDelete
wow, this is gorgeous...luv the neutral...hope your week is awesome!ReplyDelete

Neutrals are so soothing and calming:) Love your home - mine is a burst of color, which I find calming:):)ReplyDelete
This looks like such an inviting room. Sammy certainly looks comfy there!!ReplyDelete
I love what you've done with the room! Neutrals are very relaxing (particularly when you work with an array of colors!) and your furniture choices are sweeet!ReplyDelete

Old hippies never die…
June 2, 2011 —
They go Phishing. Well, this old hippie did anyway. Sort of. With so much talk about the band "Phish" (that I had never heard of) coming to town, I debated with myself over how to write about it. I knew little about the group itself ( www.phish.com ), but from what I gathered, this was to be no ordinary concert at the Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center ( www.bethelwoodscenter.org ). It was to be more of an "event," since the group (and their faithful followers) would be in Sullivan County for three days.
I discovered that Phish was a phenomenon of sorts, and that the legions of fans were a (tie) dyed-in-the-wool new generation of what some folks still call hippies. I was here in 1969, and understand that the Woodstock Experience was a once-in-a-lifetime, never to be repeated moment in history. That said, I gather there are thousands of Phish devotees who caravan from city to city, often camping out for days at a time in what has become, for many, an integral part of the experience.
On Thursday, the day before the first show, the flocks began arriving. Many had planned in advance regarding where and when they would set up camp; plenty had not, and somewhere in between, was a large number of (mostly) young people whose plans had to be changed at the 11th hour. I ran into a group of kids, asking for directions to the spot where they had reserved a campsite. We chatted about the history (and legacy) of Woodstock itself and I gave them my number, in case they had any trouble finding the place.
Sure enough, I got a call. Way past my bed time and during an incredible thunderstorm, these kids found themselves with no place to camp, no vehicle, abandoned by their "fair weather friends," soaked to the bone and a tiny bit freaked out. Not sure what to do, but knowing I had to do something, I got out of bed.
"What if this was my child?" I asked myself, knowing full well that it could be. My 24-year-old daughter lives in San Francisco (the hippie capital of the world) and has tickets to see Phish in northern California later this summer. I knew that if something like this (heaven forbid) happened to her, I would like to think that there would be some old hippie (like me) out there willing to help. I had heard that Fiddlers Flea Market (www.fiddlers-flea-mar
ket.com) on Route 17B was going to be hosting campers for the event, so I gave them a late-night jingle.

For the coffee jelly
Measure 5 tbsp cold water in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the gelatine and leave to soak for 5 mins until spongy. Now stand the bowl of gelatine in a pan of gently simmering water and leave until it turns clear.
Meanwhile, mix the biscuit crumbs and butter really well, then press on the base of a loose-bottomed 20cm cake tin. Chill.
Beat the quark, mascarpone and Baileys together, then stir in the gelatine and fold in the cream.
Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl until thick, pale and foamy, then fold into the cheesecake mixture and pour onto the biscuit base. Chill for 3-4 hrs or until set.
For the jelly, sprinkle the gelatine over the coffee, then put the bowl in a pan of gently simmering water until dissolved. Cool the mixture. When cold, carefully spoon the coffee mixture on top of the cheesecake to make a thin layer – don't pour it on or you will disturb the creamy layer. Chill until set. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
To serve the cheesecake, wrap a hot tea towel round the outside of the tin, then gently ease out the cake. Serve in thin slices.
Know-how - Gelatine
Many cooks avoid using gelatine, but it's easy when you know how. I tend not to sprinkle powdered gelatine into hot water as it can go lumpy. The trick is to add it to cold liquid, leave it to soak until spongy and then stand the bowl in a frying pan of simmering water until the gelatine becomes clear.

Make this cheesecake 10 days before it was needed and froze it, which worked perfectly. I followed the recipe and it set fine. Although the consistency was moussy it held its shape when cut. Was a little unsure if the coffee topping would taste ok but the slightly bitter flavour of the strong coffee worked really well with the creamy Baileys and made it look pretty special too. Would recommend.
tried this recipe and like some of the comments i forgot to put the extra gelatine in the mixture so unfortunately it was a little sloppy otherwise it would have been lovely, at least i will know for next time when i bake it, only other thing is does anyone know what else i could use instead of Baileys as it does seem very strong anything apart from alchohole would be good.
My husband is a big cheesecake fan and makes many variations, they are always well received. However he has tried this one three times now and it has never set completely following this recipe. The recipe itself is a bit odd as it uses whole eggs, not just whipped whites and the alcohol content is quite high, which makes a sloppy, thick mixture. Also that extra bit of gelatine is very easy to miss (although he didn't). An expensive mistake that we wont be making again.
Oh dear, just keeping fingers crossed. Followed recipe.found cheesecake had leaked overnight in fridge. Just added coffee, was cold and clear and mix has turned scummy not jet back. Leaked all way back to fridge! It now has one chance, may need to sprinkle something over top when cold. It will definately not look like pic. Only recipe from site to fail me.
Delicious! A bit fiddly but worth it. Firstly, I wasn't sure how "thick" the egg and sugar mix should be and ended up throwing the first lot away. 2nd attempt was the same (ribboned from the spoon, not what i would call thick), so just went with it and it turned out fine. The gelatine I added while it was still quite hot, which again worked well. For those who have mentioned that "extra teaspoon" - this is for the jelly. Here again, the first attempt had to be thrown as I did not wait long enough for the coffee to cool before adding the gelatine. Got there in the end and it looks and tastes fantastic! Rich without being sickly.
Definitely a 5 Star recipe! I'd been wanting to make this for a while but thought it may be beyond my meagre talents as it was described as 'For The Keen Cook'.
I was asked to cook a meal for a dinner party and decided to attempt this and was so glad I did, everyone loved it!
I followed the recipe (and used the hints for using gelatine which differed to those on the pack) and couldn't believe that i could produce such an impressive dessert, in both appearance and flavour.
Will definitely be making this again (and again, and again!). The coffee layer contrasted nicely with the sweetness of the body of the cake and the crunchy shortcake base went nicely with the texture.
By the way, had no problems with obtaining quark (at Morrisons)
I have made this on a number of occasions now and it has always been a great hit with everyone. I made one and took it to work and everyone really loved and keep on at me to make another. I made one and took it to my sister's when I was visiting her and she said she had had a baileys cheesecake in a resturant and this was better as you could taste the Baileys in it and the one she had in the resturant didn't taste of Bailey's at all. Since then she has made it herself for some parties she has hosted and it has always had a lot of praise from everyone. DELICIOUS!!!
just put the mixture in the fridge THEN realised i've missed the "plus 1 tsp" galeatine!! can't risk having a runny cheesecake, so scooped out the mixture and add another 1.5tsp of "melted" galetine. mixtute gone lumpy so had to use a sieve to smooth out the mixture! my pack of gelatine wasn't even 11g, had to weight it out anyway so after did that forgotten about the 1tsp! very confusing there :( off to bed now so finger-crossed...... no nightmares pls!
Made this using coffee Baileys and it was fantastic!!! It freezes brilliantly too - I open froze what was left over in slices then wrapped in clingfilm. Have to confess I didn't wait for it to thaw completely but it was lovely semi-frozen, would make a great summer ice cream type dessert :) Will be making this again and again!
This is a SERIOUSLY good recipe. Shortcake biscuit base is much better than digestive would be in this recipe and the coffee jelly top is a perfect foil for the creamy sweet cheese cake underneath. I made it again and again after first trying it - just waiting for an excuse to make it again.
Be VERY careful when spooning the coffee jelly g-e-n-t-l-y over the top of the cheesecake, or you will get a swirled effect (my husband prefered it that way but I like the austere darkness to contrast with the white cheesecake).
Made this for a dinner party, followed the recipe to the letter who knows what went wrong it completely collapsed when it came out of the tin! The biscuit base was so hard I couldn't even cut it either. Shame made it for a dinner party and had no reserve, will not be making again as I cannot work out what went wrong - I wondered whether it was the gelatin being too warm when I mixed it with the rest of it???
Questions (4)
Hi Janeyinlondon, thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear you did not have success with this recipe. In order to work out what went wrong please can you confirm a few details - was the full quantity of gelatine used and what type did you use? Was the double cream whipped before adding and how long was the cheesecake chilled before serving? Once we have this information hopefully we will be able to work out what happened.

Hello ladies. I am new to this site and have called LLL many times in the past (especially in the beginning)! My daughter will be 3 months old next month and I'm a first time mom.
I have strep throat and was wondering if anyone you have ever taken Z-pack while nursing? I can't seem to find the safety level of the drug anywhere.
I'm also a little concerned about giving it to my little one. I hope she is receiving the antibodies from me and doesn't get this. I keep checking to see if she is warm to me because I'm so worried!
Thank you in advance!

It was a fall afternoon and the sun made the leaves on the trees glow like embers. A perfect day for a drive to a nearby city to visit an old friend.
Or so Sam thought.
As he drove to the main road, he felt out of sync with the streets. The traffic was brisk and bumper to bumper. Drivers honked at Sam when the stoplight turned green and he hesitated for a second before stepping on the gas.
Merging on the freeway wasn't any more forgiving, nor was the highway drive. Cars passed him from the left and right, pushing inches from his bumper. The driver behind him tailed dangerously close. It was as if everyone washed down a fistful of quaaludes with an energy drink cocktail before their commute home for the weekend. Everyone except slowpoke Sam, that is.

When the off ramp for Barrie bound travelers zipped by, Sam switched on his signal and glanced side to side for an opening, then scanned the rear view mirror, side to side again, back to the rear view mirror.
A bead of sweat streamed across his eyeglasses. Another drop. His shirt was drenched. The drivers around him stayed locked in place. All eyes were fixated on the road ahead. Mesmerized.
The sheer momentum of the traffic was too much for Sam and the swift current of metal, rubber and gleaming glass swept him 100 miles upstream before he could turn around.

Not long after canceling the Australian leg of her "Stars Dance" tour to focus on herself, singer Selena Gomez checked into an Arizona rehab facility for two weeks last month to seek treatment for emotional issues, according to Radar Online.
"Selena voluntarily spent time at (Dawn at the) Meadows but not for substance abuse," her rep said. "She just needed to clear her head," a source told E! News.
Since her trip to rehab, Gomez has attended the Sundance Film Festival, a Beats Music launch party and the Hollywood Stands Up to Cancer benefit — all in late January.
"She's never been better," the E! News source said. "She's strong and great."

The independent film "The Great Match" will be shown as part of the College's Film Central series at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 11, in Meiley-Swallow Hall. Unrated, but suggested as PG for some language and adult references, the 90-minute film tells the adventurous story of three heroes, none of whom have ever met, but have two things in common: they all live in the farthest-flung corners of the planet and are determined to see on TV the final in Japan of the 2002 World Cup between Germany and Brazil. Directed by Gerardo Olivares, "The Great Match" was an official selection at many prestigious film festivals and was nominated for Best Picture at the Malaga Spanish Film Festival.
