Pope Benedict's Contribution To Catholic-Jewish Relations
The election or the demise of a pope is always an event of enormous public interest that resonates well beyond the Catholic world. This was certainly the case when the newswires flashed their bulletin that Pope Benedict XVI had taken the unprecedented step of resigning because of age and ill health, becoming the first pontiff in more than six centuries to do so.
Jews have a particular interest in the election of a new pope, because their two thousand-year tumultuous relationship with the Catholic Church has been defined by much pain and suffering and they know from experience what an impact a pope can have on their future.
I remember vividly being glued to my television in April 2005 as the white smoke went up from the Sistine Chapel on the fourth ballot, after which came the stunning announcement that the new leader of the Church would be the German cardinal who had once worn the uniform of the Hitler Youth. I remember thinking: Here we go again.
It was only after some research that I discovered that in fact Cardinal Ratzinger, now Benedict XVI, was born in Bavaria into a home that opposed Hitler's policies, but like all teenagers he was forced to join the Hitler Youth and later assigned to the anti-aircraft corps responsible for protecting German industry from allied attacks. When the war ended, he enrolled in a Catholic seminary where he quickly rose through the ranks.
Within two decades he would become one of the Catholic Church's preeminent theologians, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Though he was a staunch conservative, on the major issues facing the Jewish people Pope Benedict XVI relied on what he wrote in 1985: "The church marches forward to the fulfillment of history. One does not go back, nor can one."
He played a major role as a key adviser to John Paul II during a time when Church policy toward the Jewish people and the state of Israel underwent significant change. Had he opposed such a major shift, John Paul's recognition of Israel may never have happened.
Benedict may have lacked the exuberance of a John Paul II or a John XXIII, but he looked very good indeed when compared with most of the popes of the past twenty centuries.
Even the twentieth century Pope Pius X told Theodor Herzl, "Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people." And Pope Paul VI went to Jerusalem for a day and refused to mention Israel by name. His subsequent thank-you note to Zalman Shazar, the then-president of Israel, was sent to Tel Aviv rather than Jerusalem.
Pope Benedict, on the other hand, went to the Cologne Synagogue to reaffirm that "I intend to continue with great vigor on the path toward improved relations and friendship with the Jewish people…" He went to Israel and at Yad Vashem said he had "come…to honor the memory of the millions of Jews killed in the horrific tragedy of the Shoah…. may the names of these victims never perish. May their suffering never be denied, belittled or forgotten. And may people of goodwill remain vigilant in rooting out from the heart of man anything that could lead to tragedies like this."
And in 2011 he did something no pope had done before. He wrote a book about the life of Jesus that clearly exonerated the Jews from responsibility for his death.
As a new pope is about to be elected, there is an important lesson that can be learned from the dramatic changes that have occurred over the past eight decades in the relations between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people.
Church leaders understand that the founders of their faith were Jews who not only lived in but also loved the land of Israel. They also know that there are few churches in the Arab world, and that Israel remains immutably committed to the principle of freedom of religion.
As for we Jews, it is important for us to remember that in a global society we need friends to survive.
Naturally, Jews will continue to have their differences with the Church. When popes offend us we should not hesitate to speak up. If the Vatican wants Jerusalem to be divided or internationalized, we should bluntly say, "Nonsense – look at what happened when that was tried in Berlin or Vienna."Rabbi Marvin Hier

OPEN THE ARCHIVES.From the Inside Flap.
Was Pope Pius XII secretly in league with Adolf Hitler? No, says Rabbi David G. Dalin—but there was a cleric in league with Hitler: the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini. As Pope Pius XII worked to save Jews from the Nazis, the grand mufti became Hitler's staunch ally and a promoter of the Holocaust, with a legacy that feeds radical Islam today. In this shocking and thoroughly documented book, Rabbi Dalin explodes the myth of Hitler's pope and condemns the myth-makers for not only rewriting history, but for denying the testimony of Holocaust survivors, hijacking the Holocaust for unseemly political ends, and ignoring the real threat to the Jewish people. In The Myth of Hitler's Pope, you'll learn: · The true history of Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust—how the Catholic Church did more than any other religious body to save Jewish lives · The real history of the Church and the Nazis—including the Nazi plan to kidnap the pope · The real agenda of the myth-makers: hijacking the Holocaust to attack the very idea of the papacy—especially the papacy of the late Pope John Paul II—as well as Christianity and traditional religion as a whole · Hitler's cleric—Hajj Amin al-Husseini, who advised and assisted the Nazis in carrying out Hitler's Final Solution · How Pope Pius XII rescued Jews—and deserves to be called a "righteous gentile"—while the grand mufti of Jerusalem called for their extermination Full of shocking and irrefutable detail, The Myth of Hitler's Pope is sure to generate controversy, and more important, to set the record straight. If you want the truth about Pope Pius XII, about the Catholic Church, the Jews, and the Holocaust, and about how the myth of Hitler's pope plays into the culture wars of our own time—and how the fact of Hitler's mufti is a vital source of radical Islam today—you must begin here.
Perhaps that's a BIG part of the 'problem', too many are looking towards a 'man' to solve their problems, when they should be looking to YHWH instead.

great oral magnesium chloride
Posted by Reviewer1693430 on May 30, 2012
great product. comes from a mine. quality testing ensures no lead, mercury or other heavy metals. beware of mag from Salt Lake, UT, because of mercury levels. from what i've read, mag chloride is one of the most bioavailable forms of mag. i use transdermal magnesium therapy, but don't always have time to let my skin absorb it, so its nice to have an oral option on busy days.
Posted by Reviewer2284899 on Aug 09, 2013
My husband and I both take the magnesium. He takes it for leg cramps that totally disappeared within 2 days, and I am taking it to strengthen my lungs after having a respiratory infection this past spring. We are both impressed with the quality and performance of this product!
Very effective

Home Fire Safety Tips
In All Areas of Your Home
Cover all unused electrical outlets.
Arrange electrical cords so they neither dangle loosely nor entangle with one another.
Matches, lighters, and all flammable materials should be kept out of the reach of children.
Radiator covers should be made of a non-heat absorbent material.
Wood stoves and fireplaces should have screens and a gate, so that children cannot wander too close.
Fireplaces and, especially, chimneys should be cleaned and inspected by a reputable professional every year.
There should be a smoke detector installed on every level of your home and in the hallways leading to the bedrooms. It is an extra precaution to have them installed in each bedroom.
Set the thermostats on water heaters between 135 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Formulate an escape plan for every room in your home, with an alternate plan in case the first option is blocked by fire. Practice these escapes until every member of your family can
perform them automatically.
Set up a safe place to meet outside.
Keep flammable materials away from heat sources.
Try to use non-flammable or fire-resistant materials for curtains and upholstery.
Use space heaters only on noncombustible surfaces and at least three feet from furniture and walls.
Store all flammable and combustible products in cool, well ventilated places, locked securely and/or out of the reach of children.
Basement and Garage
Flammable liquids such as fuels should not be kept in the house.
Keep paints, thinners, and other combustible chemicals out of child's reach. Ideally, these materials should be kept in a locked metal cabinet, away from heat sources.
Keep dirty rags in a sealed metal can or dispose of them.
When not in actual use, lawn mowers and all gas powered appliances should be stored empty.
Keep electrical outlets covered and do not leave anything plugged in, when not in use.
Store gasoline only in metal cans approved by your fire department.
Turn pot handles in while using burners on the stove.
Store cleansers and other chemicals out of child's reach, in cabinets with childproof locks.
Make sure children are not near when working with hot liquids.
Keep cookies and sweets away from the stove.
Make sure electrical cords are not hanging over the counter and appliances are unplugged when not in use.
Keep fire extinguisher near farthest exit from the stove.
Do not use water to douse a flaming pot. Smother with cover or baking sheet or use fire extinguisher.
Tap water should never be hot enough to scald wrist. Run cold water in tub first, and then use hot water to warm to desired temperature.
Check in on children often. Never leave a child unsupervised for an extended period of time.
Make sure all medications and chemicals are out of child's reach and/or in child-proof locked cabinets.
In case of fire, it's a good practice to keep water in plastic bottles in bedroom closets to dampen cloths for face protection during escape.
If you have smoke detectors in the hallways, you can sleep with the bedroom doors open.
Keep drapes away from heat sources, including lamps.
Keep electrical cords from dangling.
Try to avoid the use of extension cords. If you must use them, make sure they hug the wall. Under no circumstances should any electric wires cross over the middle of the room.

Lake Antoine Road project moving forward
IRON MOUNTAIN – Work on Quinnesec-Lake Antoine Road could begin after the Labor Day holiday, Dickinson County Road Commission officials announced.
Officials from the Dickinson County Road Commission, Michigan Department of Transportation, city of Iron Mountain, and Payne & Dolan Inc. of Gladstone have met to discuss the proposed road work.
The bid from Payne & Dolan was opened as the low bid earlier this month.
The award is expected in the next few weeks, said Lance Malburg, Road Commission Engineer.
Construction could begin as early as the day after Labor Day.
An official familiar with the project said "we are working through the paperwork now and expect to have the project under contract with Payne & Dolan shortly. We plan to start work just after Labor Day. With this type of project and funding there are many steps in the process and we appreciate everyone's patience as we near construction."
Payne & Dolan plans on starting with the removal of the unsuitable materials at the intersection of Upper Pine Creek Road on Sept. 3, followed by the culvert replacements on the east-west section.
During this, the road will be closed to all but the local traffic, Malburg said.
The alternate route is U.S. 2.
They are predicting this to take approximately 10 days, weather permitting. After the undercut is complete, they are proposing to complete the rest of the project under flag control, he said.
"We ask that traffic as much as possible use alternate routes and avoid the project," Malburg said. "However, we will do all we can to allow access to the local residents and those that have business in the project area."
"Lake Antoine Road is acting like an un-official bypass of Iron Mountain," he said. "Large volumes of vehicles have nearly destroyed the pavement, requiring the Road Commission to place load limits on this road in recent years. When this project is over, the road will be able to handle the traffic it is expected to see."
The scope of the project is mainly crushing the old pavement into the gravel base and repaving the road, with various cross culvert replacements, along with widening the paved shoulder, undercutting the area near Upper Pine Creek, and other associated work.
The project is broken into two phases, an east-west portion and a north-south portion.
The project is funded through a variety of sources including a Michigan Department of Transportation – Transportation Economic Development Program Category A grant (made available through the help of Systems Control, a division of Northern Star Industries Inc.), Federal Highway Administration's Rural Surface Transportation Program, city of Iron Mountain, Dickinson County Road Commission, and the Dickinson County Bike Path Committee.

Maj. Thomas Davis, veteran Anthony Pone and Sgt. Delvin Maston talk after a point on Sunday against Special Operations at the 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte. On Wednesday, Army plays Marines for the sitting volleyball gold medal.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. ― Marine Corps will take on Army for the sitting volleyball gold medal at the 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte in Colorado Springs, Colo., after each had two wins Tuesday at the United States Air Force Academy.
Marines (5-0) remained undefeated through pool play with a win over Special Operations 2-0 (25-11, 25-19) then secured a spot in the gold medal game against by defeating Navy 2-0 (25-15, 25-10) in the first round of playoffs. Army succeeded over Navy 2-0 (25-18, 25-14) and British Armed Forces 2-0 (25-12, 25-23), a team that beat them on Monday.
With the losses, Navy will play the British Armed Forces fell out of contention for the top spot on the podium but will play for the bronze medal at the Cadet Gym. The final is at Clune Arena.
Admission is free for the Warrior Games, which is a competition for 260 wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans.
In an atmosphere that could have been mistaken for a European soccer game, if not for the prosthetic legs and wheelchairs strewn about the arena, Army spectators could be heard from outside the gym cheering on their branch, although interrupted by strong cheers from the British Armed Forces and Marine supporters.
"It's a great feeling even if I couldn't hear myself trying to shout commands to the team," said Army Sgt. Monica Southall (Henrico, Va.). "I love how they get so into the games and support us so well."
The fans continued to grow louder as the close match between British Armed Forces came down to final points. With several tie points during the second set, Army was up by two points.
Army touched it over for a final win of 25-23, a clutch close to the exhilarating match.
"I was really glad we were able to bring it back at the end and win," said Southall. "I can't wait to play the Marines; they are great competitors and make the game very exciting."
Army was playing for redemption after an unexpected upset to the British Armed Forces on Monday, losing 2-1 (14-25, 25-19, 15-11). The Marines also beat Army 2-0 (25-19, 25-14) on Monday.
Army Sgt. Ryan McIntosh (San Antonio, Texas), who is competing in several sports, and won three track and field medals earlier in the day, concurred in the anticipation to come up against the Marines in the medal game tomorrow.
"Competition against the Marines is always tough, so we have to play with all our hearts and minds going into it," he said.
As Army topped the British Armed Forces, the Marines ended their night 2-0 on the other side of Cadet Gym, with a solid 25-10 second set win over the Navy. The Marines started the night with a win over Special Operations.
One of the Marine's best point earners was hitter veteran Sgt. Steven Lunt (Moncks Corner, S.C.), who's hard-hitting spikes helped keep up the team morale.
"I just try to make the best decisions for the team," said Lunt. "And tomorrow, when we go up against the Army, we just have to play our game and concentrate on the great match up."
Lunt's mother said seeing her son play after competing in multiple sports in high school is one of the best Mother's Day presents she could receive, whether they win Wednesday or not.
Ryan McIntosh echoed Lunt's mother's words.
"These games stand for more than winning, it goes to show wounded, ill and injured service members that they can do anything if they will it."

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why build the second reservoir at Powell Butte now?
The City of Portland must have sufficient drinking water storage capacity to meet the anticipated growth in demand for water due to population projections, for fire suppression and emergency response, and to offset the possible loss of the City's five open reservoirs that may need to be disconnected from the water system.
The Water Bureau's long-range water storage plan includes the construction of up to four 50-million gallon reservoirs on Powell Butte. The first reservoir was built in 1979 and became operational in 1981. The Powell Butte Master Plan, completed in 1996, states the bureau's commitment to build a second reservoir within the "next 20 years." In 2002, a Preliminary Design Report was completed by the engineering firm CH2M Hill. Under the existing 2003 Land Use Review Plan for Powell Butte, the bureau was scheduled to start building a second reservoir by 2013. Current plans now have the construction starting in 2009 and completed in 2012.
2. Was there a public process on the decision to build this reservoir?
Yes. The Water Bureau conducted an extensive 13 year public process, from 1995 to 2008 to review issues related to Powell Butte Nature Park and the region's water supply system. The process included a formal Stakeholders Advisory Committee composed of interests outside of city government, including neighborhood associations, schools, environmental organizations, recreational interests and outside water districts.
Powell Butte was purchased in 1925 solely as the site for City of Portland water storage reservoirs. The property is first and foremost a regional water facility with long range plans for additional storage. In 1987, Powell Butte was established as a natural resources-based park. It was officially opened to the public in 1990.
3. How will the underground reservoir be constructed?
The Water Bureau plans to build the reservoir in two phases. The first phase will be the excavation of the site; the second phase will be construction of the concrete floor, walls, pillars and roof of the reservoir.
The first phase began in the spring 2009.
During the first phase, hundreds of tons of soil was removed and transported off the butte. Some mounds of the soil were kept on the construction site to fill the space against the reservoir walls once they are in place and used as topsoil for restoration. The second phase of reservoir construction began in 2012.
4. Is building a water filtration plant on Powell Butte a part of the construction project?
No. There are no plans to build a water filtration facility at Powell Butte in the current approved Land Use Review and Conditional Use Master Plan.
5. Why won't the city build an open water reservoir at Powell Butte for more park appeal?
Across the United States, underground reservoirs have been preferred for more than 30 years because they reliably and cost-effectively ensure drinking water quality. The federal government no longer allows cities to construct or rebuild open reservoirs for drinking water storage. Recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations require the few remaining cities with open reservoirs like Portland to either cover them or treat the water at each reservoir's outlet.
6. Will the Powell Butte Nature Park remain open during construction?
Yes. The park will remain open to the public while the work is underway. Vehicular access to the park's main parking lot will be affected by construction traffic, so the road will be closed intermittently during Phase 2 to ensure public safety. A large section of the park will be restricted due to the reservoir construction activities. The work zone boundaries will be surrounded with metal range-type fencing.
The Portland Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation are committed to keeping the nature park and its uses (hiking, bicycling, equestrian use, bird watching, etc.) open to the public and as normal as possible while the work proceeds.
7. What will be the hours of construction?
Construction hours will be determined once a contractor has been hired for the project. Normally for spring-summer construction, the work hours are 7 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. Fall hours are typically 7 am to 5 pm. It has not yet been determined if the contractor will be permitted to work on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Night work will be minimal. The park's regular seasonal open-close hours will not change.
8. Will the main park parking lot remain open?
During the excavation phase of construction (Phase 1), the main road into the park -- SE 162nd Avenue -- and the parking lot will be closed during construction hours. Once construction stops at a posted evening hour, the public will be allowed to park in the main lot until the nature park officially closes. Park users will be encouraged to use alternate sites to park their vehicles and access the park during construction.
During the second phase of the project -- the construction of the reservoir -- the access to the main parking lot will be open for park use. There may be intermittent closures to accommodate construction. The Water Bureau will notify the public prior to the start of the construction phase of its decision.
The Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation are currently evaluating alternative locations for car and bus parking. Once these locations have been determined, the public will be notified. The safety of Powell Butte Nature Park users is a top priority for the City, Portland Parks & Recreation and the Water Bureau.
9. Will the construction affect any of the hiking trails?
Yes. Currently at least two of the nature park's popular hiking trails must be realigned outside of the construction zone. Portland Parks & Recreation will post the trail route changes on kiosks located at each park entrance. Portland Parks & Recreation is reviewing the trails and developing a plan for temporary and permanent changes.
10. How will the park's wildlife be protected?
The Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation will take steps to limit the impacts to the nature park wildlife inhabitants as reasonably as possible. Appropriate fencing will be in place to keep animals out of harms way. The Water Bureau will also consult with the Audubon Society about birds. The Water Will also be consulting with wildlife experts and an ecologist to minimize impacts to the nature park and habitats as much as practical.
11. How many trucks can be expected on the road and which streets are affected?
It is anticipated that during the excavation phase, there will be one truck exiting the park's only access road -- SE 162nd Avenue -- every 2 to 4 minutes. An estimated 100 truck trips per day for a total of approximately 30,000 trips -- to and from Powell Butte -- over a six to eight month period. This tremendous volume of truck traffic would pose a safety risk to park users driving on the same road, so the park road will be closed during posted construction hours.
Until a destination for the excavated soil is determined, the Water Bureau cannot yet report what other arterial streets in addition to SE 162nd Avenue and SE Division Street will be affected. No trucks will be permitted to cut through residential streets.
12. Will the construction zone be fenced?
Yes. For public safety, a metal range-type fence will be installed around the reservoir construction zone. This is not a chain-link fence. However, there will be certain areas where chain-link fencing will be used by the contractor in order to secure equipment, vehicles and materials. The gates will likely be chain-link though. This fence will be removed when construction is complete. There are a few areas that will have permanent fences.
13. Will there be more security in the park during construction?
Portland Water Bureau Security personnel and Portland Police Bureau officers will continue to patrol the area. The contractor will provide additional security to safeguard their construction site, vehicles, materials and equipment. Park users are encouraged to report any suspicious activities by calling 9-1-1.
14. Are there any park improvements that are part of this project?
Yes. As part of the Conditional Use Master Plan, the reservoir project includes replacing the existing maintenance shed and restroom building into an Interpretive Center and restroom facility. A new, separate storage and maintenance facility at a different location will be built due to the expanded maintenance needs of both the Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation. In addition, the existing gravel main parking lot will be paved, trail improvements will be made, and a new natural grass-setting amphitheater will be built to better support the educational outreach programs in the park.
Over the years, both the Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation have made improvements to the Powell Butte Nature Park. These enhancements include realigned stormwater drain pipes off the Holgate Trail, the removal of large boulders that once blocked the south entrance to the Holgate Trail, and a 2006 drainage study that included local citizen involvement in proposing bioswales as an alternative to concrete drain ditches for the new reservoir. Check the Nature Park page for more park related updates
15. How will the Water Bureau keep the public informed about this project?
The Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation staff are finalizing a public information plan. We are also developing an online Project Update Newsletter that the public can sign up to receive. There will be project news and park notices posted in the local community newspapers, neighborhood association bulletins, and on kiosk bulletin boards that will be stationed at each of the park's official entrances.
The Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation staff will make regular reports at meetings of the Friends of Powell Butte, and the Powellhurst-Gilbert, Centennial, and Pleasant Valley neighborhood associations. We will send out public notices to area residents and park users if there are any new developments on the project.

Several landowners on the Gila River Reservation, where in February a freeway measure was rejected, say they have renewed support, and taken new action, to bring the controversial Loop 202/South Mountain Freeway onto their land.
Spokeswoman Christi Perez said landowners submitted 1,517 signatures to the tribal government on Sept. 27, supporting what she terms "the first-ever People's Initiative." Landowners secured well beyond the 643 signatures needed to bring the question to the Tribal Council, but submitted the additional signatures of registered voters to show the level of commitment for the move.
The initiative would rescind the "no-build" vote on Feb. 7, supporters said. In its place would be be a "yes" or "no" question regarding permission to place the freeway alignment on tribal land west of Loop 202's junction with Interstate 10 near Ahwatukee.
"A 'yes' result is vital in order to save South Mountain, prevent the destruction of a church, multiple homes, and numerous sacred sites, and allow the Tribe to negotiate for direct access," according to a new release from supporters. "If the 'no' option wins and the extension cuts through South Mountain, its development will be detrimental to the Ahwatukee community and would significantly reduce per-capita distributions to community members."
The Tribal Council has 60 days to accept the initiative as is or to put the measure to public vote as stated in the Tribal Constitution. The vote then must take place within 120 days.
Perez, a managing partner from Pangea Development, said her company is working to facilitate what the landowners want. Pangea is in the process of leasing about 5,500 allotted land parcels south of Pecos Road for development with the tribe.
Members of the Gila River Indian Community said they hope building a freeway with a direct exit would bring business to their casino and community businesses, which includes a large outlet mall under construction near the I-10/Loop 202 interchange that has been built.
Annalita Parra, who owns reservation land where the proposed freeway would go, helped collect the signatures. She said she hopes to save the culture left on South Mountain.
"If there isn't an exit, people won't be coming to play," Parra said. "There are sites up (on South Mountain) with artifacts and parts of our culture. As long as we save the South Mountain we will save our culture."
The current freeway alignment proposed by the Arizona Department of Transportation would cut through the western edge of South Mountain, as the freeway bends north to connect to I-10 in the West Valley, and does not have an exit onto tribal lands.
"The road plan as-is has no exit to the new casino," Perez said. "It became an issue for the entire community because of the loss of revenue. With a direct-exitpossibility, now the issue is community-wide."
The tribe needs the ability to negotiate direct access for the Vee Quiva casino, especially in light of a new ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, according to Perez.
"Land owned by the Tohono O'Odham (nation) can now be put into trust. That was on September 11," Perez said, adding that the ruling would allow the Tohono O'Odham nation to further develop entertainment properties that could compete with Gila River-owned entertainment and shopping properties.

It dominates the electricity mix in several countries, developed, emerging or developing. In many others it provides significant amounts of clean, renewable electricity. It also helps control water flows and availability. Its extreme flexibility is a strong asset for electric systems, and will be vital to accommodate and facilitate the growth of variable renewable energy technologies such as wind power and solar photovoltaics. It can foster social and economic progress, especially in developing countries. This roadmap considers that both annual hydropower capacities and generation should by 2050 roughly double from current levels.

Paralympian Laura Schwanger thought her competitive career was over.
In 1996, the 38-year-old Schwanger had retired with an impressive resume that included three Paralympic Games and 11 track & field medals. But it wasn't until after a routine mammogram 10 years later that she faced her most daunting opponent yet – breast cancer.
Schwanger was no stranger to receiving bad news from doctors. In 1981, while serving active duty in the Army, Schwanger was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that would leave her in a wheelchair and eventually lead to her Paralympic track & field destiny. The news of cancer, however, was not something Schwanger was prepared for.
"I always knew I wasn't going to die of MS," Schwanger said. "The doctors said I might die from the side-effects, such as my legs giving out, but the cause of death wasn't going to be MS. But with cancer, the cause of death is cancer."
After grueling rounds of chemotherapy and radiation in 2006, Schwanger was left feeling weaker and more fatigued than ever before in her life. Her inner-athlete yearned to get back into form.
"I knew I had to do something to get my strength and endurance back," Schwanger said. "I saw documentation on how good rowing and paddling is for breast cancer survivors. It was the ideal thing to use my upper body and regain my strength and range of motion.
"Also, I wanted to be part of those breast cancer survivors who were out there rowing."
Schwanger received an invitation from a friend in Philadelphia to join a rowing group for the disabled, an offer she welcomingly accepted. Starting slowly with only two days of training a week, the positive affects of the sport were profound, both physically and mentally.
"Each day I was feeling stronger and less tired," Schwanger said. "I looked forward to those days that I was going out to row with the group. Just getting out and enjoying life.
"It was great to feel a good tired because I knew I had physically worked my body. Not because I was weak from illness."
Only six months after joining the rowing group Schwanger received her classification as an arms-only rower and was made eligible to enter competitions. The rest, as they say, is history.
"I'm very athletic and pick up new sports very quickly," Schwanger said. "I'm also very competitive. Give me a new challenge and I'll do my darndest to succeed."
And succeed is just what she did.
In 2007, one year after undergoing cancer treatment, Schwanger entered the U.S. National Championships – and won. The victory earned her an invitation to the World Championships in Munich, where she placed sixth and also qualified for her fourth Paralympic Games.
"To know that I have done this 12 years after I retired, and to do it in a different sport that is so incredibly anaerobic is amazing," Schwanger said. "After all I've been through; I can't even put the feeling into words. Excited just doesn't even come anywhere near describing it."
Today, at nearly 50 years of age, Schwanger trains in the water eight to 10 times a week and uses meditation and mental imagery techniques to prepare for the Beijing Games in September. A path the once-retired Paralympian never thought she would be following.
"I would not be doing this if I had not had breast cancer," Schwanger said. "To be able to say I've survived cancer, anything that I do is a success. And if I can beat cancer, I can beat any of those other young women in the competition."

NSI Requirements Definition for Lotteries
When the NASPL Verification Logo, along with this label, is used on, or in relation to, a business practice registered as conformant to this Conformance Requirements Document, it must be accompanied by an attribution in the form defined in Schedule 4 of the applicable North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries Trademark License Agreement.
This Conformance Requirements document is for the business practices of Lottery organizations involved in defining the requirements for products to be produced and delivered to a lottery.
At the start of a project for production of a new product, or updates to an existing product, the requirements for the product are defined and documented to ensure that they are agreed and approved by both the supplier and customer of the system. Requirements definition involves specifying the high-level functional requirements for the product, the overall design of the system, the user interface description the project timeline the quality assurance plans and the acceptance criteria for the product.
The objective of NSI Requirements Definition is to define the process by which requirements are defined, documented, agreed, and approved by the lottery and the vendor, and to identify the specific types of information that need to be specified in each of the following areas:
The conformance requirements for a practice are derived from the Best Practice for Quality Assurance of Product Development in the Lottery Industry: Requirements Definition, Document Number BP0401, April 2004, and any Corrigenda issued against such Best Practice.
A conformant practice must demonstrate that it:
Appendix A of the Best Practice provides a checklist of the mandatory, recommended, and optional requirements. This Appendix should be considered normative with respect to the assigned Practitioner for each requirement, but in the case of any conflict between the content of the checklist and the main body of the Best Practice, the Best Practice shall take precedence.
An assessment report, summarizing the outcome of the assessment process, from an assessor accredited by the Certification and Verification Authority for assessment of conformity to the Best Practice.
Documents, as required by the Certification and Verification Authority from the set defined under Lottery Requirements in Appendix B of the Best Practice, which provide evidence that the Best Practice has been implemented.
A Conformance Statement, which shows how the practice meets the conformance requirements defined above.
As this is the first version of these Conformance Requirements, there are no migration issues.

Some analysts have declared that crude from Alberta will find a way to refineries regardless of Keystone XL's fate.
Safety questions have intensified since a tanker accident in Quebec last July that killed 47 people.has raised questions about the safety of crude-by-rail to new prominence, especially since a tanker accident in Quebec last July that killed 47 people. With these safety questions, such arcane matters as the design of tank cars and the carbon-hydrogen ratio of their contents have taken on heightened importance. How regulations governing these issues are decided will help determine whether the tar sands basin — the world's largest fossil fuel reserve outside Saudi Arabia — stays close to its current production level of 1.8 million barrels a day or expands to four or five times as much, as its developers hope. That in turn will have a significant impact on climate change's intensity in coming decades.
Keystone XL is only one of seven proposed pipeline intended to transport tar sands crude.the current emphasis on crude-by-rail is one such alternative."
The Quebec accident revealed the lax state of railroad regulation in Canada and the U.S.attention in the U.S. That's unfortunate, since it revealed the lax state of regulation of the railroad industry in both Canada and the U.S — and the huge expansion of rail-by-crude increases the odds that such accidents will happen again. Employing only one engineer to operate a train that was nearly a mile long might have been imprudent, but it did not violate regulations. The light crude in the Lac-Mégantic train turned out to have been mislabeled as conventional crude, which is not explosive, but even with proper labeling, the dangerous cargo wouldn't have had to be handled any differently.

My new hair!
I don't think I mentioned this before...but i've been looking to change up my hair for a while. It's been long since the beginning of high school...usually I go for the long layered wavy hair look that's popular now. However as my interest in makeup has evolved, my hair has as well. My bf really loves the long hair...but I knew it was time for a change. I also never really wore my hair out anyways because it was long and thick and heavy. In most of my videos you'll always see that I have it up in a pony tail or messy bun.
So I got my hair done on Saturday by my fabulous hair stylist. She lightened my hair and put in some chunky blond highlights. I love it! The thicker highlights give it a more edgy look. On top of it all, she chopped off my pony tail and gave me a really angular bob length look with side bangs. I'm going back in a month for a touch up...by that time my bangs will have grown up enough to give me more options. I wanted a really diagonal funky bang look...kinda hard to describe but I think it will look hot.
I made a video with my new hair so you guys could see! I hope yall likey :)

Hello all!
I just wanted to start my journey in the wide world of tea talk by introducing myself. As you've gathered from the title, I live in Pittsburgh, PA: home of French Fries on sandwiches, Heinz ketchup, and unfortunately, highly processed and shredded tea marketed as quality loose leaf. My initial attempt at procuring decent Darjeeling from an independent teashop met with great resistance. The clerk could not tell me from what estate the tea had come nor its flush (or even year) of harvest. Nevertheless, I took home two ounces of "Darjeeling TGFOP" to satiate my tea cravings (the cupboard was bare from a recent move to the city). The tea wasn't horrible if the package had said Lipton on it, but the price was far more than what the resulting liquor deserved.
At press time, I am currently placing orders with several online retailers in the hope of better results. I'm a huge fan of Darjeeling First Flushes from Castleton, Arya, and Makaibari, though the second flushes from this year have been wonderful as well. From the Green Tea category, I greatly enjoy a Hongyokuro or a high grade Long Jing for their rich vegetal qualities (though my wife chides me for drinking what she derides as overpriced lawn clippings). I also enjoy White Teas, but my pending shipment will be the first quantity of such a tea I have owned; until now, I've stuck to ordering pots of it. I look forward to reviewing my first home-brewed pot of Silver Needle on this forum.
I'd very much like to entertain some other recommendations for "must drink" teas, as well as recommendations for vendors. I've heard some reasonably critical reviews of Upton, but nothing concrete as to where their limitations lie. I also hear decent reviews of Adagio and the Tea Emporium. From where do you most enjoy buying your teas, or do you prefer different vendors for different types?
Thank you in advance for your input and I look forward to becoming a productive member of this fine community.

Beach Teams Off to Hot Start in Phuket
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 30, 2013) – It was a strong first day of main draw pool play at the FIVB beach volleyball Phuket Open in Phuket, Thailand for the U.S. women's beach teams on Wednesday, as two duos sit atop their respective pools.

The No. 3 team of April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Jennifer Fopma (Bellflower, Calif.) went 2-0 in its matches in Pool C. Ross and Fopma first defeated No. 30 Ekaterina Makroguzova and Nadezda Makroguzova of Russia, 21-10, 21-15 in 32 minutes. They then faced 19th-seeded Miller Elwin and Henriette Iatika of Vanuatu, earning a 21-15, 26-24 win in 41 minutes. Their final pool play match is on Thursday against No. 14 Gioria Daniela and Laura Giombini of Italy (1-1).
Also going undefeated in its first two matches was the No. 6 duo of Brooke Sweat (Fort Myers, Fla.) and Jennifer Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) in Pool F. Sweat and Kessy defeated No. 27 Melinda Adelin and Laura Longuet of France, 21-8, 21-13 in 31 minutes, followed by a win by forfeit over No. 22 Teresa Mersmann and Isabel Schneider of Germany. Sweat and Kessy narrowly took the first set, 26-24, before the Germans bowed out of set two at 10-4.

Wednesday in Phuket, Thailand.
"It's always tough to play a team you've never seen before, you've never played before and they did really well," Kessy said in an FIVB press release. "They had really good ball control, good defense, good serving so I think we got a little bit behind in the first set and then battled back to win 26-24. Luckily we won that game and then I think the heat just got to the Germans and they forfeited so we're really happy to come out with a win."
Kessy has competed in the Phuket Open with former partner Ross many times in the past, with the duo winning two golds and a silver at the event in previous years.
"As long as the tournament has been going I have been coming here," Kessy said. "I hadn't played a lot this year and I saw that Brooke needed a partner for this tournament and I thought, 'absolutely.' So I was so excited to come back."
Sweat and Kessy will close out pool play on Thursday against No. 11 Chen Xue and Xinyi Xia of China.
In Pool H, the teams of Lane Carico (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) and Heather Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.) as well as Emily Day (Torrance, Calif.) and Summer Ross (Carlsbad, Calif.) each went 1-1. Carico and Hughes (No. 25) opened play with a win over No. 8 Rumpaipruet Numwong and Khanittha Hongpak of Thailand (21-13, 21-14 in 32 minutes). Ninth-seeded Day and Ross faced No. 24 Yuan Yue and Yuanyuan Ma of China and fell 21-15, 16-21, 15-11 in 48 minutes. The two U.S. duos then squared off against each other, with Day and Ross earning a hard-fought 22-24, 21-14, 15-3 win in 55 minutes.
To close out pool play on Thursday, Day and Ross will take on Numwong and Hongpak, and Carico and Hughes will face Yue and Ma.
The first and second rounds of elimination will be played Nov. 1 with the third round and semifinals on Nov. 2 and the medal matches on Nov. 3.

Digital Media (DMP), a Japanese chip company, announced on Monday that Nintendo, a leading supplier of video game consoles, had chosen its Pica 200 graphics processor for the forthcoming 3DS game console.
"We have high goals to achieve: low power consumption remains an important object for high –performance graphics processing units, such as those that power autostereoscopic 3D screens. DMP has developed the technology that will be relevant for years," said Tatsuo Yamamoto, the president and chief executive officer of DMP.
Exact specifications or expected performance of the DMP Pica 200 graphics processor are unknown, but the developer indicated that the chip includes a proprietary "graphics extension" named Maestro. Besides, DMP said that the GPU features support of complex shaders.
Founded in 2002, DMP, a graphics IP core supplier in Japan, has adopted a business strategy of focusing on the digital consumer market, according to Jon Peddie, the head of Jon Peddie Research market tracking company.
"DMP first told me about the Pica architecture in early 2005 which was their first IP core based on Ultray architecture. The president and CEO of DMP, Tatsuo Yamamoto, told me then the Ultray allows real-time photo realistic rendering with physically correct lighting and shadowing such as soft shadow casting and position dependent environmental mapping. Ultray is unique in that it uses hardware parametric engines for certain graphics features rather than shaders. With this approach, clouds, smoke, gas and other fuzzy objects can be shaded and rendered at an interactive rate," explained Mr. Peddie.
Nintendo 3DS – the world's first handheld console with stereoscopic 3D screen – is projected to be released later this year.

On Tuesday, Acton's Todd Huizinga took part in a West Michigan World Trade Association panel discussion on "US and EU Sanctions on Russia: How They Affect You." He was joined by three other panelists who focused respectively on the legal, economic, and political ramifications of the current Russian/Ukrainian conflict and the sanctions it has evoked.
Though each of the panelists focused on a different angle of the conflict, a common thread emerged: the desire of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his political regime to return Russia to a position of dominance on the world stage.
Signaling this desire for increased power was the Russian annexation of Ukrainian territory, Crimea, in March and its military intervention in Ukraine thereafter, among other events. While these are significant actions in their own right, they also serve a broader purpose in drawing attention from the international community. As Huizinga stated, "they test Western resolve to act."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (538 votes).
In short: Last Don Valley finish - had to be there!In full: Finishing on the Don Valley track is a great feeling. Good luck to the organisers in finding a suitable replacement! A great run for me as I got a PB - but then Sheffield is my hometown and has a very special place in my heart.Date of review: October 8, 2013
In short: Late start AGAINIn full: I really like this race, I've set PBs twice here but the start of the race really needs to be looked at. It started late, yet again, and this year was colder than last year so your warm up goes out of the window. And yet again, the very slow runners decide starting at the 90 minute mark is perfectly acceptable (in their masses) causing all sorts of tripping and bottlenecks for the first half-mile or so.Once past this point, the race is really good and quite fast. Eccy Road, the city centre and Don Valley has plenty of support, even sections of Brightside Lane in the industrial areas had people lining up - well done the people of Sheffield! We even got a technical t-shirt and a bottle of flavoured water at the end this year, whatever next!!Date of review: May 24, 2013
In short: Good atmosphere as alwaysIn full: Its the key running event in Sheffield... brings the entire running community together, and introduces alot of others to the world of running which can only be a good thing - the whole city gets behind it and the atmosphere is great especially on Eccy Road. www.sheffield10k.com is also worth a look ( a shameless plug ) ... probably the best 10k course in Yorkshire? :-) ... Looking forward to next year.Date of review: May 14, 2013
In short: Excellent starting and finishing in the Don Valley Stadium (sadly for the last time though!)In full: Living in Sheffield this is a must do race for me. Easy to get to and park. Fantastic atmosphere in the stadium (interested to see where we will be next year!), very friendly crowd of runners. Most parts of the run have spectators (but a little thin on the ground at Brightside) Fantastic support particularly in the stadium, City Centre Bramall Lane and Ecclesall Road - awesome running up and down there, the crowd lift your feet and your spirits! Plenty of water stations, well managed. Date of review: May 14, 2013
Date of review: May 14, 2013
In short: Victim of it's own success?In full: I've ran this race 7 times, inc this one. The 1st 5 were brilliant, but since they increased the entrance levels last year, for me it's ruined it. The Stadium RIP, can't cope with that many people at the start and the 1st mile was a pain. Having said that though, the atmosphere was amazing (as it always is) and the course is brilliant. Interesting to see what happens next year, but in a competitive month for half marathons, I may look elsewhere.Date of review: May 13, 2013
In short: good runDate of review: May 13, 2013
In short: Sheffield support was fabulousIn full: Really enjoyed this run. 1st time and loved it. No grumbles. the support on eccleshall road was immense and a stadium finish excellent.....hope one of the footy grounds step in to help with a suitable finish area for next year. marshalls really supportive many thanks.....Date of review: May 13, 2013
In short: I am 57 and a first timer since i ran at school.Loved it and will come again . I am a great fan of Sheffield and anything is an iprovement on Gy.My wife who is non sporty enjoyed it as a spectator , and i cannot believe you moaning about plastic cup.Date of review: May 13, 2013
In short: It's my home town event, so I feel obliged to take part....In full: ...fab to start and finish in the stadium that Jess Ennis trained in. Crying shame the council are going to demolish it, allegedly to save money. Marshals and supporters were great. Tannoy system was crap: couldn't hear a thing. T-shirts are cheap and nasty - pure nylon - not technical; would have preferred a cotton one.Date of review: May 13, 2013

Sorry guys-we forgot to post Day 2 and Day 5 blog entries while we were out on the road. Here's Day 5:
After driving to Denver last night, we decided to head eastward and spend our last day checking out weather behind the storm in the Plains. We began our drive at 4 am and drove about 3 hrs to reach Kansas. After catching an amazing sunrise, we experienced a gorgeous blue sky and frigid cold temperatures. It was the perfect ending to our chase.

'Win It' Wednesday: Tippitappi T-Shirts
During the first weeks of spring, wearing a T-shirt sans jacket is a feeling that can't be beat. Actually, I take that back—wearing a T-shirt with an animal-friendly message sans jacket is the only thing that can beat that, which is why for this week's "Win It" Wednesday, we're putting the tee in generosity by giving away these 100 percent organic cotton shirts from Italy-based Tippitappi:
How do you win? Tell us all about the places you'll go while sporting one of these tees with a message. The three readers whose must-see spring hot spots most make us want to get out of our seats and travel will each get to choose the shirt of his or her choice from the five shirts pictured above.
The contest ends on April 21, 2010, and we'll pick the winners on April 23, 2010. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting. Good luck!

These shirts are amazing! I would definately wear it to my school! Im starting an animal rights club at my school and it would be awesome to have one!
Two of my really good friends who I haven't seen since i moved last year are coming to see me in a few weeks. All three of us are fascinated, enthralled, awed, obsessed with, and intensely interested in the Civil War. We're planning a week long journey throughout my state and we're going to all the significant Civil War sites, battlegrounds, museums, memorials, etc… It's definitely an adventure that requires activist shirts for stopping animal cruelty! The Civil War divided the nation and animal cruelty divides the good from the bad. It's time to advocate!
http://www.kittycatchats.com/search/label/Fellow%20Felines There is NO excuse for this type of treatment to occur and those that did it need to be locked in a cage and fed only kibble and water! The outpouring of support to this little fellow is amazing and shows to me that there still are decent humans left wandering the earth! http://www.kittycatchats.com/search/label/Fellow%20Felines
I would wear one any and everywhere!!!
I will go to the grocery store.
I would wear it on the weekends while running errands
I would wear my shirt to take my sn to school to go grocery shopping and to clean my house and any other motherly place you can think of…That is where I would wear my shirt! Thanks
Great TSHIRTS !!
To the grocery store.
My girl would love to wear this! shopping to the mall everywhere!
I would love to wear this! shopping to the mall to the shore everywhere!
i would wear it to my daughters graduation
VEGAS baby!! i'm going with 15 of my closest friends in a few months….imagine how many thousands of people will be checking out this awesome message on the strip!!
I am a teacher so I would wear this shirt to my school so that my students would see it. What better way to promote veganism than by starting with youth. They will surely ask questions about why I don't eat animals and then I will really educate them.
oh can't wait I'd love these for my kids and grandkids thanks
I have several outdoor concerts planned for the summer I'd love to wear them there thanks!
I'd go to the store in it.
I would go on a bike ride on our local bike path. I would wear it out to a veggie restaurant. I would wear it pretty much everywhere

In my University soon will be week of sport. I all time will be in this Tippitappi TShirts!! All week
Where would I go sporting one? Better question where wouldn't I go.? I where it everywhere.
If I had any of these shirts I'd first wear it to the Springs Preserve in Vegas. After that I'd go to the "Happiest Place on Earth". No not a Barnum Bailey circusDisneyland.! Since it's filled with people of all ages there it's easier to spread the word about animals. Then after spending 5 days in Disneyland I'd pack my bags for a trip to Texas or Mexico since it's full of carnivores in both places. After that I'd come back to Vegas put on a different shirt walk around on the Strip Town Square. Yup that's my shirt adventure.
I'm super excited about getting to travel to Spain Italy and Egypt this June with some really close friends of mine. We're taking two weeks to visit cities like Madrid Barcelona Nice France we're driving through France on the way to Italy Venice Rome Florence Cairo and a few other places. I'd totally wear one of those tshirts while I'm there! I've only recently decided to go meatfree it's been almost three months! but I'd be proud to tell the world about my decision.

Schell's Oktoberfest wins bronze medal at beer festival
NEW?ULM – The August Schell Brewing Company took home a bronze medal for its Oktoberfest beer from the Great American Beer Festival last weekend.
The annual Great American Beer Festival, known as the "Super Bowl" of beer, took place in Denver. More than 700 breweries converged to see how their beers matched up against the best commercial breweries nationwide. Now in its 27th year, the competition drew 49,000 brewers and their fans.
Schell's Oktoberfest was entered in the American-Style Amber Lager category with 60 other entries, and was awarded the bronze medal. It is a Mrzen style beer, deep copper in color with a full body.
The judges for the competition were comprised of 201 beer experts from 11 countries who evaluated 4,809 entries within 84 different beer-style categories.
A group of panelists was assigned to score the samples submitted for each, rating them without knowing their brand names. Their ultimate goal was to identify the top three beers that best represented each category.
The August Schell Brewing Company is the second-oldest, family-owned brewery in the United States. In addition to its Schell's beers, it brews Grain Belt.

The Rapids Sidekicks were formed in 2012 by the significant others of the Rapids players and coaches to team up with Kroenke Sports Charities. The group is dedicated to supporting charitable organizations for underserved children and families, and through their special relationship with the Colorado Rapids players, they are able to provide unique opportunities for fans of all ages.
Kersten Mullan, wife of veteran midfielder / defender Brian Mullan, got the ball rolling on the Rapids Sidekicks after being part of a similar group in Houston when Brian played for the Dynamo. Kersten pitched the idea to players' spouses and they've never looked back.
- Sidekicks launch new autograph alley following Rapids home matches
- Sidekicks raise $10000 through sidewalk sale for Myorcarditis Foundation
"We want to use our personal relationship with the player to offer opportunities for fans that will ultimately result in raising some dollars to give back to the community, to give back to Denver and Colorado," Kersten Mullan told ColoradoRapids.com in a Q&A about the SideKicks. "The Sidekicks will use our relationship with the players to give the fans something unique that no one else can give, not even the front office. And it's not all about raising money, we'll offer cool experiences to meet the players as well."
Keep an eye out for SideKicks events around Dick's Sporting Goods Park, including autograph alley following home games and various fundraising opportunities throughout the season. To contact the Sidekicks please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Impressive performances from both on ShoBox last night. Bad ass t-shirt that Porter wore into the ring as well. Good comeback performance from Shawn after his slightly disappointing performance at the Wolstein a couple months back.
Both these kids have a lot of power and muscle packed into 154-160 pound frames. Add in Danny Jacobs, Shawn Estrada ... and the class of 2008 American boxers in the 154-160 weight range is oozing with promise.
Looking forward to seeing all these kids in step up fights here in '10.

Vintage Silver American Indian Inlaid Thunderbird Necklace
Product Details
An absolutely fantastic and unusual inlaid silver American Indian necklace from the 1960's. This rare, handmade piece is very large in size and wonderfully detailed. The necklace is comprised of a double strand of pinched silver beads that are strung on simple chain. Also strung on the chain and resting atop the beads are 10 large silver Thunderbird links. Each bird has beautiful detail with multi-colored inlaid stones and materials, including coral, mother of pearl, turquoise, tortoise shell and animal bone. The necklace hangs long with a large silver pendant that rests at the center. The pendant also has an inlaid Thunderbird figure in the center with a round tortoise shell frame and a bone and turquoise topper. The double strand of beads comes together at the back at a single strand where it connects with a simple hook clasp. It's an absolutely striking piece and would make a fabulous addition to any collection!
Measurements: The large Thunderbird pendant is approximately 2 3/4" long, 2 1/2" wide and 1/8" thick. The width of each side of the necklace is 1 1/8" with a depth of 1/2" and the overall length of the necklace is approximately 35" long.

Golden Pound Cake
- 1 1/2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 cups sugar
- 6 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 3 cups cake flour
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup Cranberry Citrus Glaze, recipe follows
- Cranberry Citrus Glaze:
- 2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 oranges, zested and juiced
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
In a stand mixer, fitted with the batter blade, cream the butter and the sugar for 8 minutes on medium speed, scraping down the sides often with a rubber spatula. Lower the speed to medium- low and add the eggs, 1 at a time, combining well after each addition. Add the vanilla and the orange and lemon zest.
Add half of the flour, with the mixer off, then turn the mixer on low speed to combine. Add the buttermilk and cream and when well combined add the remaining flour. Continue to mix for an additional 3 minutes on medium-low speed.
Butter and flour a tube pan. Pour the batter into the pan, tapping the pan on the counter a few times to eliminate air bubbles and put in a cold oven. Set the oven to 325 degrees F and after 45 minutes, carefully rotate the cake and continue to bake another 30 to 40 minutes. Check by inserting a wooden skewer into the center and when it comes out dry, remove the pan from the oven. The cake will fall a bit, but let it rest for 30 minutes. Run a sharp, thin knife around the edges of the pan and let rest for 10 minutes more.
Invert the cake onto a parchment lined cooling rack.
Cook's Note: Put a piece of parchment paper on top of the cake and pan, then flip gently over and allow to cool to room temperature.
Dust with the confectioners' sugar, then slice and serve with Cranberry Citrus Glaze.
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, add the cranberries and water. Cook until the cranberries start to pop, about 3 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Puree with stick blender and strain into a serving bowl. Serve or refrigerate until ready to use.
Cook's Note: This glaze can be made ahead.
