Anna Olson's Sour Cream Apple "coffee" Cake
Yield 6
Light or low-fat sour cream, while ideal for topping things, is not ideal in baking recipes. Use regular sour cream in all your baked goods.
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
Apples & Topping
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup walnut pieces
• 1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
• 2 cups apples, [peeled and] sliced, such as Mutsu or Granny Smith
To Assemble (One 8-inch round cake pan **** I used muffin tins and it made 12 large sized ones. It seems an 8″ cake tin is too small for this amount of batter so perhaps use a 9″ springform pan with a baking sheet underneath to be sure)
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add vanilla and stir in sour cream. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and stir into wet ingredients until just incorporated.
2. In another bowl, combine all ingredients for topping. Toss half of the topping with the sliced apples.
3. Scrape half of the coffee cake batter into a greased 8-inch round cake pan and level. Sprinkle batter with half of the toppings then proceed to cover the cake with the remaining batter. Once finished, cover the cake with the apple topping mixture. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
4. Serve warm or at room temperature.

(Portsmouth, NH) Sen. Martha Fuller Clark's campaign released a list of organizations supporting her re-election campaign, reflecting the priorities that have made her, in the words of her hometown newspaper The Portsmouth Herald, "a political legend" and a "liberal icon."
NARAL Pro-Choice New Hampshire has endorsed Sen. Clark's campaign after naming her a "champion of choice" in the Spring. This endorsement is no surprise to those following Sen. Clark's work in Concord over the years. A consistent advocate for women's health and reproductive freedom throughout her career, NARAL NH's executive director Laura Thibault has called her "always willing to speak up and be a voice for women in the state who don't have a voice"
Educators have weighed in strongly behind Sen. Clark's re-election campaign with both NEA-NH and AFT-NH standing in solidarity with the veteran lawmaker. Clark, whose political career has been marked by a consistent commitment to primary and secondary public education, has long enjoyed the support of New Hampshire's teachers. In the last legislative session, Clark championed renewed funding for school building aid and introduced the first legislation designed to restore funding to the state's university and community college systems – efforts that drove the new funding that allowed for tuition freezes and cuts across New Hampshire's higher education system.
The State Employees Association (SEIU Local 1984) and the NH AFL-CIO have also endorsed Sen. Martha Fuller Clark's re-election campaign. Learning of the SEA's endorsement last month, Clark told New Hampshire Patch said "The 11,000 hardworking people who keep the state government running and work so hard in our town and county offices have again put their faith in me and I won't let them down if I am returned for another two years in Concord." The state AFL-CIO, meanwhile, represent some of the largest private sector union members in the state, including building trades and commercial employees.
The Sierra Club, recognizing decades of work defending the Seacoast and Great Bay, have endorsed Sen. Clark. Announcing their endorsements, the Sierra Club eloquently made the case for electing lawmakers like Sen. Clark: "We need to elect leaders who know climate disruption is real, and know we need to act. If we don't go to the polls, extremists like former House Speaker Bill O'Brien will repeal the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (REGGI) and block sensible energy legislation in the State House in Concord. In Washington, if climate deniers continue to block legislation in Congress and support Big Oil and Coal, smart solutions will see more delays. We cannot let that happen again. Be sure to vote this November, and better yet, get engaged now and bring a friend with you to the polls – it matters!"

The Bots, South Africa
Ruth Bots, 59, left the UK for South Africa, where she still lives, in 1971. She is divorced from her first husband, Irvin, with whom she emigrated, and has remarried. She has two children. Her daughter, Rachel Luker, 37, left South Africa to live in Houston, Texas, with her husband, Kevin, six years ago. The couple have two children, Royden, 15, and Shannon, seven.
Ruth: "You have to be independent and tough to do something like this. Not everyone is - I knew several families who made the move and went home again quite quickly. In general, people who survived 18 months were there to stay. But it wasn't plain sailing after that - far from it. You were on your own a lot of the time because you didn't have your extended family. I will never forget the time I broke my toe when I was expecting Frank, my son. We were struggling financially, and I didn't have parents or siblings to call on for help, so I remember having to walk with the buggy and Rachel to the station to get a train somewhere. When I got on the train, I just sat there and cried. Times like that made you feel so alone, with no family to call on.
"So it was lonely, and Irvin and I did have to work really hard. I guess it did put a huge strain on our relationship. Later, when we split up, I was lonely again in a different kind of way, because I had to get through that on my own, too.
"I suppose it's ironic that my daughter, Rachel, went to live abroad and I don't see my grandchildren the same way I now realise my parents didn't see theirs. It's harder than I realised but I tell myself that I raised independent, self-sufficient children, so of course they want to see the world and find a better life. And the world is smaller than it used to be - we talk all the time, we email, we send pictures online - and there are plenty of flights so it doesn't take long to reach them. But you miss them, especially the children, because they are growing up all the time and you're not seeing it."
Rachel: "All my life I've struggled with who I am and where I belong. It was most pronounced in my teens - I really felt it then and I gave my parents a hard time because of it. Life is always difficult when you're a teenager, but for me it had this extra dimension, in that I had grown up without the roots that were back in Britain. I yearned to go home to England, to work out my links with the place and to delve into my family history.
"We did go back when I was a kid, but it was always a whirlwind of visits to relatives and it was all about being polite and not misbehaving in front of Aunt So-and-So. It was always a strain and I never felt I got anywhere with finding out how I was linked to these people and this place.
"It wasn't until I was 22 and had had my son that I went there on my own, and spent proper time with my grandparents. It was hugely important to me to take their great-grandson to show them. I realised, too, how helpful grandparents could be, especially when you need someone to be wise and to tell you a few home truths.
"The time we spent together was really important because I knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and that the next time I was back it would be for funerals. This was my one chance to get to know my grandparents and I seized it with both hands. They told me things about our family and our past that no one else could have told me - and in doing it, of course, they told me things about myself.
"Leaving our parents and extended family was very tough - we knew it would be because my parents had already done it and I knew they had struggled. I told my dad a few months before we left, but I couldn't bear the idea of telling my mum - in the end I told her only three weeks before we went. I just wanted it over, I couldn't bear to drag it out. We left South Africa because we needed a new challenge, but it hasn't been easy. Kevin lost his job soon after we arrived and we spent eight months living out of suitcases as we trawled the US in search of a permanent job for him.
"Because I'm so aware of how much I missed my grandparents, I've tried to find proxy grandparents for my children - elderly people whose own grandchildren perhaps live far away and who have the time and energy to spend time with our children. One of the most important things for Kevin and me is getting our parents over here, to see what we've achieved and to spend time with our children.
"As well as the tough bits, there is a sense of relief in living away from your extended family. You get to concentrate all your energy on your immediate family, and that can be liberating - no one to feel obliged to invite round and cook a big meal for, no one to have to feel dutiful towards. If we see our extended family, it's because we really want to be together, not because we have to be."
The Machins, Spain
Andrew Machin, 56, and his wife Carolyn, also 56, moved to Alicante in Spain from Milton Keynes in 1988 with their children, Ross, then seven, and Laura, then four.
Andrew: "I think a lot of people wondered why we were making the move because we had a good life in Britain. We had a lovely house and good jobs and both the children in private schools. But we felt we wanted a new challenge, to start afresh. We loved Spain and the Spanish way of life, so it was obvious that was the place to head for. We felt very strongly that there was a window of opportunity while the children were small - I don't think we could have done it much later because Ross would have been too old to settle somewhere new.
"We decided to settle ourselves in gently when we moved - we had enough money to live on for a few years - and I think that was vital. These days you get young couples moving out here without enough for more than a month or two, and that's not enough - you have to build in time to get settled. We had a while when we were mostly learning Spanish and finding out about the place, and it was a big help.
"We were worried about how the children would settle into school, but it was a huge hit from day one. There they were, being left at a Spanish school when they spoke no Spanish, and they were absolutely fine. They learned the language very quickly and have never looked back - they love it here. Ross is at university in Spain, studying to be a vet, and Laura is a translator.
"Spain is very family-orientated and I think that has been a factor in why it works well for us. Sunday is the day families sit down together for a long lunch and we have always done that too. And, because the weather is so good, we're outside almost every day of the year.
"We love the fact that we've picked up Spanish attitudes and the culture, and I think young people in Spain are more respectful to their elders, which is another good thing.
"The hardest thing has been living apart from our parents as they have grown older - three out of the four have died since we've lived here. We knew that would be hard, but felt we couldn't let that stop us doing what we wanted to do. I've had pangs of guilt about it over the years, but that's life. Moving here was the best thing we've ever done, and nothing can change that.
Carolyn: "Our families and friends thought we were mad when we told them we were coming to live in Spain. Before that it was the place we went on holiday, and I think they thought we wanted to just live the dream - we did, and we are. The weather was a big factor, and the outdoor life. It felt like a much healthier and easier and happier place to be raising our children. It's lovely to be able to have your children run around outside all year round.
"Andrew settled down straight away, but it took me a bit longer - I shed some tears in the early years. But we've never looked back. The children are Spanish through and through - Spanish is their first language really, although there's a lot of English in there too. They would never leave.
Ross: "I've never felt I didn't fit in here - I feel totally part of the scene. I'm completely Spanish. When I mix with English people it feels a bit strange that I don't understand some of the slang, but otherwise I feel I fit in whether I'm with English people or Spanish people. I'm part of both communities.
"I think my parents did a brave thing moving here, and I'm glad they did. My sister and I had a childhood that was idyllic in many ways - the open air, the beaches, the climate. We wouldn't have got all that in Milton Keynes.
"There was some feeling in my parents' families that they had baled out a bit by moving abroad, but that sort of thing is inevitable really. They moved away, and that's hard for people in some respects. It's not something the Spanish do much, either - they're very family-orientated and people don't leave their parents.
"So that did make us a bit different, I suppose."
The Cookes, Canada
Stephen Cooke, 42, and his wife, Gail, 45, left County Durham in 1989 for Canada. Their daughter, Stacey, is 20.
Stephen: "I grew up in County Durham, one of five brothers, and I never thought I would leave the place. The rest are still there - the only other one who moved away went seven miles down the road. I've never really got over leaving them all. Even though it's been nearly 20 years, there are still times when I think, I've got to get home. When I get there, mind you, I find Britain is crowded, expensive, dirty, nothing much to recommend it, but it's where my family is and that's the point. You don't miss the place, but you miss the people. So you sacrifice a lot, and you get homesick. That surprised me for a long time, because I had been in the merchant navy and was used to travelling. It's different, though, when it's for ever. No one here can replace my brothers - I've got really great friends, but there can be no replacement for them. We're a close-knit lot in Durham.
"I guess there's a bit of a sense among the people we've left that we've abandoned family life - when there are weddings and other parties I can't always get over. Mind you, my mum will be 70 next year and there's no way I'll be missing that. I know I need to start going over more often now because my parents won't be around for ever. My mum is as deaf as a post now, so talking on the phone is more difficult than it used to be. My parents found it very hard in the early years that we had come over to Canada, but now they have visited I think they've seen for themselves what a great life it is, and they can see why we did it."
Gail: "It was a bit different for me because my mum was living out here when we moved to Canada, although we don't live very near her. It was still a wrench leaving England - I remember feeling sick with worry on the plane across. We came because the Canadian government was encouraging families with young children into the country as they wanted to boost the population. More space, a more outdoors-orientated lifestyle, beautiful scenery - Canada has given us all that. Stacey has had a great time growing up here. She skis, she skates, she rides. It has opened our horizons a great deal too.
"But there are things you miss. You don't see the children in the family growing up - I've got cousins who have children, and they are children I'll never know. They are just faces in the photos, really. Stacey has lots of cousins in England who she will never know, and that seems a shame, especially for an only child. You make links in your new country, but they never quite have the extra dimension of your family relationships. Stephen and I would have loved nothing more than to bring everyone, our entire extended family, out here with us, but you can't do that. They are all settled in jobs. It was a sacrifice to leave our families, but it was right for us."
Stacey: "I've never felt like an outcast - I always felt I belonged here. I've been to the UK a couple of times, and it's really just another country. I've met my cousins, but I don't think I miss not having them around - I've got plenty of friends here. You know what? It's just not a big deal. At least not for me."

Chemeq falls further amid plant concerns
Page Tools
If Chemeq directors had hoped that successful production of the company's antibiotic replacement drug for the farming industry would halt the recent sell-off of shares, they were mistaken.
The shares yesterday fell 5 per cent - or 20¢ to $3.79 - taking the stock's decline over the past month to more than 25 per cent.
That was despite the announcement that its new manufacturing plant in Western Australia had produced its first batch of a polymeric antimicrobial designed to replace antibiotics in controlling disease in commercially farmed pigs and chickens.
While yesterday's announcement appears to be good news, the research and development company continues to be dogged by recent speculation about the capabilities of its new plant and the potential market size for its drug.
Company chief executive Graham Melrose tried to halt the sell-off on Friday by admitting to significant cost blow-outs in setting up the plant, but assured the market that production of the drug would begin flowing to customers during the next quarter.
Yesterday he said the plant had performed to expectation, justifying the company's 2001 decision to set up production here rather than overseas.
While the plant is capable of producing 20,000 kilograms of its active ingredient a year, an upgrade will boost that to 50,000 kilograms by July 2005.

Mia's cousin Dr. Mignon R. Moore reveals that the coroner has let the husband of the late plus-sized model/'Road Trip' actress know about the preliminary finding.
Mia Amber Davis' family was left stunned by her death last Tuesday, May 10, but has recently got a clue on what may have caused her sudden and mysterious passing following a knee surgery. Dr. Mignon R. Moore, a cousin to the late plus-sized model, has told E! News that the 36-year-old died from a blood clot.
Mignon claimed that the coroner has informed Mia's husband Michael Yard about the preliminary finding on Wednesday night. "Nothing has been confirmed but the coroner did tell us that he thinks Mia died from a blood clot related to the knee surgery," she said. "We are just now finding this out that this is all too common and people don't know the risks of arthroscopic surgery. They need to be made aware of the risks."
The "Road Trip" actress' cause of death won't be official for several weeks, pending the toxicology tests results. On how the family dealt with her passing, Mignon shared with E!, "The family is devastated." She added, "This was such an unexpected loss, and she went to a very reputable physician. I took her myself on the day of her surgery and within 24 hours she was dead."
Speaking of the knee surgery, Mignon spilled that Mia was looking forward to resolving an old sports injury. "She had long-term problems with her knee. It was always swollen, she couldn't' walk on it," the cousin explained. She added, "She had big plans and was so excited about life. She was producing 'Divorce Court' here in L.A."
Mia's funeral will take place in New York, and the family is preparing to transport her body to the Big Apple. No date has been set yet for the funeral, but her family has created the Mia Amber Memorial Fund, to which fans can make donations to honor her memory in lieu of flowers.
Mia's family isn't the only one mourning the late model's death. Janice Dickinson, the host of Oxygen's "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency: Size Does Matter", told E! News, "I am proud to say she was my friend and she had a heart of gold and I loved her dearly." As for her treatment of Mia when she appeared on the fourth season of the show, she said, "She knew I was kidding."
Gail Steinberg, an executive producer of "Divorce Court" also issued a statement to E! News. "Mia was not only a talented producer, editor and model, but also a truly beautiful woman in every way. She was kind, clever, and original, with a wry sense of humor and a fierce devotion to those she loved, especially her beloved husband Mike and her mother Ida," she said.
The executive producer added in the statement, "We are deeply saddened by Mia's untimely passing and the hole it has left in the universe, and speaking for all of us on the Divorce Court team, I can say that her kind spirit and positive attitude will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family during this difficult time."

I stumbled across this incredible little film when researching something and thought I would share it with you. I think that people see vintage Haute Couture pieces and have no real idea just how rare and special they truly are. In this video they showcase a little plaid jacket that, to be perfectly frank, does not appear that special at first glance. However, you quickly come to find out that it cost $20,000 in its day and the fabric alone took 250 hours to make. Per jacket. And that does not include the time to then piece the jacket together by hand as haute couture dictates things be made.
When you see something like this and then see dresses and gowns all well under the $10,000 mark and often under $5000 and sometimes even under 2-1k in a shop like mine... well it seems inconceivable that you can actually own something produced in such small quantities and in such a work intensive manner. But you can. And that is part of the beauty of vintage. It amazes me that someone can go on any major retail site or walk into a boutique and not blink at paying several thousand dollars for a dress produced entirely by machine and that can be found in every boutique of that kind around the world and then think a vintage, true haute couture piece is not a bargain. A BARGAIN.
Because that is exactly what it is. It's a piece of true fashion history at a bargain.

Since bashing the skulls of demonstrators during the Democratic National Convention in 1968, the Chicago Police Department has long enjoyed a reputation as a tolerant, community-minded force.
So, when the cops had to describe a man wanted for sexual assault in the city, they helpfully announced that the criminal was a black male in his mid-20s "who resembles the popular rap artist Ice Cube".
To further aid in the search for the bad guy, the sensitive folks at local TV station WBBM had the smashing good idea of presenting the story with clips from one of the rapper's videos during an evening newscast.
It was unclear whether Ice Cube, whose Barbershop 2 is filming in the Windy City, saw the report.
"This is an unfortunate and hurtful situation for Ice Cube," a Cube representative said.
Both the police department and the TV station have apologised - but does "sorry we said you remind us of a vicious sexual predator" really cover it?
