Q&A With Jackie Newgent, Author of 1,000 Low-Calorie Recipesby Dana Angelo White in Ask the Experts, February 13, 2013
RD and recipe developer Jackie Newgent has done it again. Read more about her new book (of 1,000, yes 1,000 low-calorie recipes!), get her kitchen secrets and find out her inspiration for creating deliciously healthy recipes.
HE: We love your new book, 1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes! What was your inspiration for creating all of the recipes?
Jackie Newgent: I take inspiration from just about everything. I enjoy reinventing foods that everyone knows and loves to fit with today's trends. Dining out a lot, I'm often inspired by what accomplished chefs are whipping up. I'm lucky enough to travel, which enables me to bring other local and global influences into my recipes. And growing up with a Lebanese mother (who I was cooking with from the age of 3!), I always find a way to bring Middle Eastern and regional Mediterranean flavors into many of my recipes.
HE: One thousand recipes is an amazing accomplishment! How did you go about creating and testing all of them?
JN: Luckily, I'm a type-A personality, so that probably came in handy! But I knew the only way to meet my deadlines for this gigantic project was to be extraordinarily logical and methodical, and to map out a detailed plan that I could stick to. First, I drafted an outline of chapters and sub-chapters. I then wrote out every recipe name that I wanted to include. Next, I drafted every one of the thousand recipes. That took me about 3½ months, but it helped immensely as it looked like I had a completed book. The testing then began. I tested every recipe, in nearly the exact order it appeared in the cookbook. I had an assistant come in one day a week to help out with a bit of the testing—especially with the shellfish, since I'm allergic to it. From there, I ran the nutrition analysis for every recipe and wrote the headnotes and the rest of the text. That whole process took a little over 2 years. As you can imagine, my stomach was quite full for most of those 2 years. Fortunately, because the recipes are calorie-friendly, I actually lost a few pounds during the process!
HE: Since there are so many recipes to choose from, where would you suggest home cooks get started?
JN: Have an idea of what you want to prepare before you open the book—or e-book — then browse for recipes accordingly. So if you want a burger, just go to the chapter "Sandwiches, Burgers, Burritos, and More." You'll find all of the recipe titles for that chapter at the beginning of it. For instance, in the section "Burgers and Dogs" there are 11 recipes to choose from. Another option: browse through some of the recipe photos on my Web site to see if something inspires you. Of course, there is an index in the cookbook which can help, too.
HE: What are your 3 best tips for making low-calorie recipes taste fabulous?
JN: It's tough to narrow it down to just three. But here are three that you might find intriguing. Don't fear salt! There is absolutely no replacement for salt. And when you start with fresh plant-based ingredients, you start with nearly zero sodium. So please don't forget to add a pinch of a salt that you prefer (like sea salt) here and there; it can bring out full flavors and help you keep desiring healthful dishes. Give food the sniff test. The majority of flavor appeal begins with aroma—the scent will enhance your lean eating experience. So include an appropriate amount of ingredients that give your dishes whiff appeal. Keep these key terms in mind: stinky, strong, sharp and smoky. For instance, Robiola is stinky; fresh ginger is strong; citrus is sharp; and smoked Gouda is smoky. Use the real thing. Even when rich, it's usually better to stick with the real ingredient than opt for an inferior or fat-free substitute. For instance, mayonnaise is divine—and rich in healthful fats; simply use a smear of it. Or you can try one of my six "mayos" made with 100% natural ingredients. If you want bacon or pepperoni without all the calories, don't go for fake bacon or pseudo-pepperoni; consider a focused, mindful use of the real thing.
HE: What are 5 of your must-have pantry items for healthy cooking?
JN: Garlic, onion, low-sodium vegetable broth, no-salt-added canned organic white beans and various vinegars
HE: What do you bring to a potluck?
JN: For potlucks, I generally opt for bringing something fun, flavorful and familiar. Though, I often one-up the flavor ante with a unique ingredient for extra enjoyment. I might bring my Layered Baja Bean Dip (which is topped with mango for added flair), rather than a traditional Mexican layer dip. Or instead of an all-American potato salad, I'd likely serve up my Dilly Avocado Potato Salad (avocado provides the creaminess).
HE: Can you share one of your favorite recipes from the book with us?
JN: Here's one of my favorite small plates recipes. Hope you enjoy it!
Goat Cheese Medallions With Caramelized Onions
Makes 8 servings: 1 medallion each
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large sweet onion, halved and very thinly sliced
2 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar
1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1⁄2 cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (8-ounce) log soft goat cheese, at room temperature, sliced into 8 rounds
2 teaspoons honey, white truffle honey, or agave nectar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, vinegar, and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt, cover, and cook until the onion is fully softened, about 8 minutes. Uncover, and cook while stirring occasionally, until the onion is fully caramelized, about 15 minutes. Cover and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Combine the panko, pepper, and remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Firmly dip each goat cheese round into the panko to fully coat the top, bottom, and sides. Place coated goat cheese rounds into an attractive baking dish. Coat with cooking spray.
Bake until the coating is crisp and golden and cheese is warm, but not runny, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Pile 1 rounded tablespoon of the cooked onion on top of each medallion, drizzle each with 1⁄4 teaspoon of the honey, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve while warm.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
July 14, 1871 — Poland
Jacob was living in Essen, Germany, when he met and marriedErna Schumer, who, like him, came from a religious Jewish background. The couple had two children, Max, born in 1923 and Dora, born in 1925. Jacob worked as a salesman, and in the evenings he tutored students in Hebrew.
1933-39: In 1933 when Hitler came to power, Jacob went to Amsterdam to explore the possibility of the family moving there. However, Erna did not want to leave her three sisters who were living in Essen, and she also believed that the family would be safe if they remained in Germany. After nationwide pogroms in November 1938, the Ungers finally fled to the Netherlands. There, as penniless refugees, the Unger family was split up: Max and Dora were placed in the care of Jewish organizations.
1940-44: The Germans invaded the Netherlands in May 1940. For three years Erna and Jacob survived in hiding. On April 17, 1943, they were sent to the Westerbork transit camp in the Netherlands and deported seven days later to the Sobiborextermination camp in Poland.
Jacob was gassed at Sobibor in 1943. He was 72 years old.

For many of you, the answer to the question posed in the title of this article is, "Of course, you fool. Use false color in every situation!" And I'm over here like, "Yeah, I get it, but..." Histograms, zebra overlays, and waveforms are definitely helpful exposure tools, and waveforms especially have done a great job at showing filmmakers where they have exposure. If you prefer any of these to monitor your luminance, fab! But because false color is powerful enough to show you the specific exposure of different areas in your frame, you might want to, yes, use it all the time, but you might really want to use it in these shooting situations in particular, each of which are explained in the video below by Aputure's Boima Anderson.

My first classes were released in 2007 and it was one of the first ever FXPHD offerings, 30 minute tutorial films released every week over a 10 week term. We decided to run the class on a daVinci 2k color corrector. FXPHD didn't own one so we had to beg, borrow and steal from the Post Houses in Sydney. The grading rooms were over $1000 an hour back then so we had to be in and out very quickly, sometimes only shooting 3 lessons during their downtime.

What was even cooler was going to see his talk at the even in Paris. Goro Fujida, who was another speaker, talked about speed painting. He and Nikko made me feel really motivated to get back to painting. I hope you're able to get a lot out of this as well.

We've already reported the cabinet row ahead of Monday's decision over carbon targets, with Vince Cable among those warning about the implications on Britain's economic competitiveness.
David Cameron and George Osborne have a complex decision to make in weighing up their promise to be "the greenest government ever" and their desperate need to get the economy on track again.
And now Ed Miliband has weighed in, saying he is "dismayed at the news that the recommendations (from the committee on climate change) may be watered down.
I've seen a letter that the leader of the opposition is about to send to the prime minister, suggesting that any such dilution would mark an end to the cross-party consensus on climate change. Read more

A SOLDIER injured when he was blown up in Afghanistan has denied raping a young woman in the bathroom of a house in Colne.
Burnley Crown Court has heard Shaun Aspin, of the 1st Battalion Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, was said to have slapped the alleged victim's face and then struck her again when she refused to give him oral sex.
He allegedly raped her, apologised, but then threatened to hit her again, telling her he was going through a rough time and she should just do what he said and perform the sex act on him.
In her police video interview, the woman had alleged the defendant told her: "I don't want to hit you, but you are making me hit you."
Kingsman Aspin, 24, was said by the prosecution to have earlier got 'very, very drunk' in a Colne pub and had gone to the house by taxi after 11pm, shortly before the alleged incident on February 17.
He was alleged to have followed the woman, who lives in the Pendle area, to the bathroom when she went to use the toilet.
She had repeatedly asked him to leave and he had refused.
The woman locked herself in the bathroom and called police.
She then hurriedly got dressed and fled from the property. Officers arrived and the defendant was arrested, the hearing was told.
Aspin, of Portland Street, Colne, denies rape.
Giving evidence, Aspin, who has been in the Army just over four years and is based at Catterick, told the jury he was injured when he was blown up in Afghanistan. The defendant said he came back with a broken neck and memory loss and had been left with flashbacks and nightmares.
Questioned by his barrister, Kathryn Johnson, Aspin said in the pub he knew he was drunk, but felt fine. He said at the house he thought he and the woman were going to have sexual intercourse.
Aspin claimed the woman initiated a sexual encounter.
Miss Johnson asked him: " Did you hit her ?" The defendant replied: "Yes, in a sexual manner. I slapped her across the face. I thought she would have liked it."
Miss Johnson continued: "Did you hit her to make her perform oral sex on you ?" Aspin answered: "No." The barrister asked: "Did you force her to perform oral sex on you ?" The defendant said: "No."
Aspin said he punched and kicked the bathroom door as he thought the woman was setting him up. Miss Johnson asked him: "Why did you think she was setting you up?"
He replied:" I hadn't done anything wrong and next thing she was ringing the police on me." The defendant was asked by his counsel: "Did you rape her ?" He answered: " No, I didn't."
Prosecutor Elizabeth Nicholls had earlier told the jury: "The issue in this case is was it consensual or not. Of course, the Crown's case is it was not consensual."
The jury is expected to retire to consider its verdict on Monday or Tuesday.

THE Swindon Wildcats registered their first four-point weekend since mid-October after recording two wins against rivals Sheffield, writes George Royle.
Saturday night saw a large crowd packed into the Swindon Ice Arena to see the Cats take on the Steeldogs in what was set to be a feisty encounter.
The Wildcats got off to a dream start and gained a two-goal lead within the opening five minutes through Aaron Nell and Ryan Watt.
Swindon looked a completely different team to that of recent weeks and Jan Kostal and Henri Sandvik quickly linked up twice to give the home side a commanding 4-0 lead.
Czech forward Kostal, in a fine run of form, completed his hat-trick in the second period to help the Cats carry a 6-0 lead into the locker rooms with a period left to play.
Sheffield finally got on the scoreboard late in the final frame, with Greg Chambers firing home. Kostal then sealed a great night for himself and the team by scoring his fourth and the team's eighth. Swindon would have been happy to grab the two points, but an 8-1 scoreline made it a phenomenal performance from everyone involved.
In the return game on Sunday in Sheffield, verbals were exchanged between the players in warm-ups. Inside the first minute, some big hits were exchanged as well as two fights being contested. The crowd were in for an exciting evening of hockey in Yorkshire!
It was the Steeldogs' turn to come out of the blocks early as they raced into a 2-0 lead and maintained it through the first 20 minutes of play.
Who did the Cats look to for their first goal of the night? That man Kostal, as he popped up for his fifth goal of the weekend. Welshman Alex Symonds added a rare goal to give the visitors a deserved equaliser which set up an intriguing final stanza.
Great Britain U20 international Floyd Taylor gave Swindon their first lead of the night, but Sheffield replied within 20 seconds.
The dynamic partnership of Nell and Jonas Hoog came together to give the Wildcats a late lead, with the latter slotting home from close range. The Steeldogs worked hard and managed to take the game to overtime.
A goalless overtime meant penalty shots and Hoog and Watt were both successful to give the visitors a massive victory on the road.
The Wildcats seem to be coming into form just at the right time.
With the likes of Kostal, Sandvik, Hoog and Nell playing some great hockey together, the only way is up for Swindon now.

Season 8: Episode 140: The FatiguesFed up with his incompetence in the mailroom, Elaine tries to fire the fatigue-wearing Eddie. But when she ends up promoting him instead, Eddie's obsession with violence produces some unusual catalog copy. And Elaine's staff bolts when she promotes him to an even bigger corporate job. Meanwhile, George struggles with a lecture he supposed to give at work. But because books on tape have made it impossible for him to read anymore, he purposely fails an eye test in order to get a risk management text recorded on tape.
When Kramer arranges a singles night at Frank Costanza's lodge, he learns that George's dad was an Army cook. And though Kramer could use some help preparing the food, he's told Frank gave up cooking after an unpleasant incident during the Korean War. Meanwhile, Jerry's new girlfriend Abby is excited about her mentor, Cynthia. But things stall after Jerry discovers Cynthia is dating hack comic Kenny Bania. And upon seeing Bania's act for herself, Abby questions Cynthia's judgment and finds herself without a mentor.
Needing someone to explain risk management to him, George asks Abby, while Bania turns to Jerry for help with his act and Frank puts aside his fears to give Kramer a hand. So, as Frank becomes Kramer's mentor in the kitchen and Jerry is Bania's on-stage, Elaine mentors Eddie and George takes on Abby. But a mix-up sends George to work with the wrong notes and he ends up doing Bania' s act, while the comic gives the lecture at a club. Finally, when Elaine sends Eddie to the singles night, Frank mistakenly sees his bad wartime experience is being repeated.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/3/2014 (1247 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WASHINGTON -- It's a common experience. You log on to Facebook for your lunchtime fix of friends' baby photos and links to fascinating online content from trusted sites such as Slate, when you come across an intriguing headline such as "Stephen Hawking's Blunder on Black Holes Shows Danger of Listening to Scientists, Says Bachmann" or "Sochi Hotel Guests Complain About Topless Portraits of Putin in Rooms."
These stories aren't real. They're the work of the New Yorker's not particularly funny online satirist Andy Borowitz, but many people, not just your gullible Facebook friends, invariably believe them. Sometimes the official state news agencies of global superpowers believe them.
Most of us -- though unfortunately not all of us -- are now aware Onion articles aren't real, but the proliferation of online parody and fake news has created an environment where many people are simply accepting fake news as fact. The bizarrely humourless Daily Currant and the often pretty funny military satire site Duffel Blog have been particularly adept at duping the news-reading masses.
So why do people believe this stuff? A recently published paper by physicist Delia Mocanu and four colleagues at Northeastern University's Laboratory for the Modeling of Biological and Socio-Technical Systems looks at the phenomenon of "Collective Attention in the Age of (Mis)information," concluding Facebook users' willingness to believe false information is rooted in mistrust of mainstream media sources.
The researchers examined Italian Facebook activity in the run-up to the election of 2013, looking at how users interacted with "troll" posts -- those that present a "caricatural version of political activism and alternative news stories, with the peculiarity to include always false information."
One example was a story reporting the "Italian Senate voted and accepted (257 in favor and 165 abstentions) a law proposed by Senator Cirenga aimed at funding with 134 billion euros the policy-makers to find a job in case of defeat in the political competition."
There are a number of obvious red flags in this story. There is no Sen. Cirenga, Italy doesn't have that many senators, and that amount of money would be 10 per cent of the country's GDP. Nonetheless, it went viral during the election, was reposted credulously by several mainstream political organizations, and the authors say it was "among the arguments used by protesters manifesting in several Italian cities" during the election.
The authors also divided users into groups who get their news primarily from political organizing sites, those who mainly share content from mainstream news outlets, and those who prefer "alternative" news sources: "pages which disseminate controversial information, most often lacking supporting evidence and sometimes contradictory of the official news."
They found regular consumers of "alternative" news are far more likely to share false content. "We find that, out of the 1,279 labelled users interacting with the troll memes, a dominant percentage (56 per cent, as opposed to 26 per cent and 18 per cent for other groups) is constituted of users pre-eminently interacting with alternative information sources and thus more exposed to unsubstantiated claims."
I quibble a bit with the authors' use of the term troll, which implies malicious intent on the part of the creator. The Senator Cirenga item included in the paper seems more like an Onion-style attempt at mocking the self-interest of politicians than a deliberate effort to misinform the public.
Clearly, people took this particular story a bit too far, but this type of misunderstanding is less dangerous than the type of content spread by sites such as superviral site Natural News, which as Slate's Brian Palmer recently explained, "has an uncanny ability to move unsophisticated readers from harmless dietary balderdash to medical quackery to anti-government zealotry."
Also, Italy -- a nation where the former prime minister owned three of the country's most popular TV networks, and a major new political party is led by a Colbert-style comedian -- might not be the most typical environment in which to study this phenomenon. The line between news, entertainment and propaganda in Italian politics is a bit blurrier than in other countries.
And none of this is to imply information in even the most established news sources should be trusted uncritically, but there is something to the idea that those most inclined to be critical of the mainstream media are often the least critical consumers of information from alternative sources.
Andy Borowitz isn't really helping either.

Yeah I do that too. That's because I'm looking for a game that will last and I still haven't found one. CSR racing is more than a day.
I'm one of those in the 85%
People, let's get serious here. IOS games are dull, stupid........ name it as you wish.
Serious games can be played only on PC or MAC platform.
When I just think of Lara Croft or Home World and similar........ that's gaming ....
IOS games are just for kids.
Sorry if anyone get's offended with my statement
I game on all platforms and have found some really great and epic titles on iOS.
Galaxy on Fire 2, GTA Chinatown, GTA 3, Real Racing series, Skies of Glory, Rise of Glory(both), COD Zombies, etc, etc....
So saying that serious gamers only play on PC and MAC is a rather ignorant statement, and sorry if I offended you.
And no, I do not fall into the category regarding the article, I pay for my games and will spend many hours, months, and even years playing.
Entirely disagree, I can see why you believe that to give some credit. ps3/Xbox/PC/etc; games are on a different level, period. iOS games are time killers as well for enjoyment; However, When you get into the RPG games that's when the gaming takes a different toll in iOS. I have friends that love the iOS RPG, mostly because of the simplicity and how everything is in front of you at the touch of your finger. Just two different views, no offense taken my brotha
I concur. I would be a part of that 85%.
I find it hard to get into iOS games simply because of the controls. It's not as precise as other platforms
...that's prolly when I stopped playing iOS games...!
I can't say I'm part of that percentage, which oddly seems a bit large.
Anyone who can spare the cash for it try The World Ends With You doesn't seem like a game you can put down easily.

Move over young ones, the world's senior superstars are coming to town. And because of the hundreds of millions of albums they've sold throughout their careers, they won't be needing pensioner cards any time soon.
Four legends of music will be in Australia within the next fortnight: 66-year-old Barry Gibb, 72-year-old Cliff Richard, 70-year-old Carole King and 72-year-old Ringo Starr.
That's not forgetting 71-year-old Paul Simon's headlining appearance at Bluesfest in March, an event that includes other renowned artists such as Santana and his fellow 65-year-old, Iggy Pop. Also on his way is Neil Young, 67.
So who really cares about their age when these artists are still producing the incredible music they've always made? It should be irrelevant, but their return signifies the increasing power of the ''grey dollar'' in music - baby boomers will pay big bucks to see the icons of their generation play live.
''The American and European concerts are in such a mess that all of a sudden bands that haven't looked at Australia for a long time are coming down here,'' Australian correspondent for US live music bible Pollstar Christie Eliezer says. Although King was here three years ago with James Taylor, she hadn't been to Australia for 30 years before that, he says.
Starr hasn't been here for almost 50 years - the last time was touring with the Beatles in 1964.
While the next two weeks of concert listings could be a flashback to 40 years ago, when these artists were adored by fans across the world, Eliezer says the legends are also attracting interest from younger fans, via retro clips on YouTube.
''A new generation of young singer-songwriters have rediscovered Carole and the same thing with the Bee Gees,'' Eliezer says. The artists themselves are happy to acknowledge their longevity.
Cliff Richard, who has record sales of more than 250 million, has cheerfully titled his Australian concerts Still Reelin' and A Rockin'. Fans are paying ticket prices of up to $139.90.
Barry Gibb's visit will be a more poignant one. He will be performing solo in Australia for the first time since the loss of both his brothers; Robin died just last year.
His first show at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Friday night is sold out, with ticket prices up to $199.90. He is performing at other big Australian venues including Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
Starr couldn't resist the hip end of town, opting for a more intimate tour that kicks off in Brisbane on Monday week, with shows at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion and the Festival Hall in Melbourne.

- Yogurt Breakfast Split
- Chocolate and Strawberry Stuffed French Toast
- Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes
- English Muffin Breakfast Pizza
Advanced Planning

text: NEW YORK ( TheDeal) -- When J.C. Penney Co. ( JCP) selected Ron Johnson as its CEO in November 2011, investors expected the wunderkind former Apple Inc. store designer would work some of his magic at a retail chain desperately seeking a 21st century makeover. It's now the second year of Johnson's tenure at J.C. Penney and industry watchers are not only taking bets on when he will be fired but whether the old-line retailer will join be relegated to the final markdown of retail history. According to industry sources, vendors are tightening credit and private equity firms are already circling. J.C. Penney shares have lost 55% in the past 12 months months. Shares were gaining 1.4% to $15.67 on Monday. If J.C. Penney can use its assets to buy time, and Johnson can pull off the much-hoped-for transformation of the dowdy retailer, backers such as Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP will have their "I told you so" day. J.C. Penney's board is certainly keeping Johnson's feet to the fire, slashing his pay 97% in 2012 and refusing to award bonuses to its CEO and most top executives, according to regulatory filings. Any sane board would take those steps after the dismal figures that were the fourth quarter 2012, which ended Feb. 2: a 28.4% decrease in sales to nearly $3.9 billion, with comparable store sales down 31.7% and Internet sales dropping 34.4% over the same time in the prior year. The company also had a net loss of $552 million for the quarter, while operating cash flow was $645 million compared to $953 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. And industry observers are already predicting poor first-quarter results. Former Morgan Stanley retail analyst Walter Loeb, who now writes for Forbes, predicted that first-quarter sales could decline another 22%. Anthony Karabus, president of financial advisory firm Hilco Trading LLC's SD Retail Consulting practice, said that the transformation of J.C. Penney was needed and the concept of a store-within-a-store, which would help introduce new brands to attract a younger customer, is the right path. The problem is that as J.C. Penney tried to modernize its image, it also alienated its older core customers by doing away with its popular coupon programs, Karabus said, and the influx of new customers wasn't happening fast enough to make up for the outflow of the old.

Puerto Rico faces stiff test in pool play
FT. MYERS, Fla. -- Following Wednesday's 8-7 exhibition victory over the Minnesota Twins, Puerto Rico flew to San Juan, where it will open World Baseball Classic play against lightly-regarded Spain, which is making its first appearance in the Classic, at Hiram Bithorn Stadium on Friday at 6:30 p.m. locally/ 5:30 p.m. ET on a game that can be watched live on MLB Network and ESPN Deportes.
Puerto Rico will have home-field advantage throughout what's arguably the toughest round-robin pool -- Pool C -- in the tournament. It will play Venezuela on Saturday evening and face the Dominican Republic, which is eager to avenge its opening-round elimination in 2009, on Sunday night.
Only the top two teams will advance to the next round.
Puerto Rico finished fifth overall in both the 2006 and '09 tournaments.
In the 2009 Classic, Puerto Rico went undefeated in the first round and routed Team USA, 11-1, in the opening game in round two. However, Puerto Rico lost to Venezuela, 2-0, and was beaten, 6-5 by the United States in the battle for a spot in the semifinals.
This time around, Team Puerto Rico includes proven Major League talent in the Molina brothers, catchers Yadier and Jose, as well as outfielders Carlos Beltran, Angel Pagan and Alex Rios -- plus a lot of young players.
"The veteran players have done a terrific job getting the young guys to relax and open up and feel like they belong here," manager Edwin Rodriguez said Wednesday.

Audiences in Seend, entertained with fun scripts and performances by the village's pantomime group for 35 years, are looking forward to the annual show this week.
The latest production, Dick Whittington and his Cat, will feature the Seend Fawlty Players' traditional fun and audience participation.
As usual the players have kept largely to the traditional story but added a few idiosyncrasies of their own.
A few of the cast involved in the first panto on 1980 will be taking part including Jackie Hamblin, a 49-year mother of three, of Hillcrest, Seend.
Mrs Hamblin's first role for the players was as the fairy godmother in Cinderella when she was 13.
She said: "I got involved with the players with about five or six friends as back then there was nothing else to do. It was a bit of a giggle and good fun."
Her first starring role was the following year when she played Snow White.
Mrs Hamblin, who is under 5ft tall, said the panto was memorable for her because all the dwarfs were over 6ft and towered over her.
She also appeared on stage when she was pregnant with her first child, Josh, and played an unnamed girl in Babes in the Wood in 1991.
Josh is now 22 and in training to be a teacher at Bath Spa University while Mrs Hamblin's other children, Nathan, 20, and Molly, 16, have appeared in several pantos.
Josh and Molly both have parts in the latest panto, while their mother is playing the cat.
Mrs Hamblin, a technician at Lavington School, also designs the posters for the show every year.
Her late father, Joe Burbidge, appeared in the early pantos and also helped to make the scenery with Ron Westacott.
The players don't audition for parts. Previous members are asked if they would like to take part and if anyone approaches the committee they are recruited.
Rehearsals take place weekly from the end of October.
As well as fine entertainment, the pantos have raised several thousand pounds for local organisations and charities.
This year the recipients will be Children's Hospice South West and Revival, a Trowbridge charity that supports adults who were abused as children.
A donation will also be made to Seend Primary School towards their new staging.
The production is from February 20-22 at the community centre, Rusty Lane, at 7.30pm (7pm on the Saturday).
Tickets are available from Seend Shop, the community centre or the Brewery Inn, Seend Cleeve.

Bone Daddy's Restaurant
8856 Spring Valley Rd, Dallas
phone 214-575-3050
ROBUST ALL AROUND: Coming to Bone Daddy's expecting only a plate of good barbecue may be in for a surprise. The food is excellent, no doubt, but the atmosphere is what may be jolting if you're not prepared. Cute young waitresses in skimpy outfits belly-button-exposing T-shirts and short shorts serving ...back to the BBQ.With that word of caution, it's a pleasure to get on to the food. The barbecue is top-notch, some of the best I've had in a resturant.
The brisket was tender and charred just right around the edges, with a wonderful smoky flavor. The hot links sent you scrambling for a cold beer. Ther'e awfully hot – but lean and delicious. They bore no resemblance to those cheap, greasy links served elsewhere. Barbecue, is still the main attraction tender and juicy served by cute young waitresses with an ice cold beer, now that's the bomb!
Sides are good, too – barbecue beans were sweet and tangy, and the macaroni and cheese dripped with gooey cheese. Other side possibilities are coleslaw, potato salad, baked potato, steak fries and cinnamon apples. .

10-mile road race Sunday
The final online registration total for Sunday�s 10-miler in St. Albert is 348 runners at the 29th annual road race hosted by the St. Albert Road Runners and Triathlon Club.
Fifteen runners also registered for the third annual six-kilometre fun run.
The largest 10-mile turnout in race history was 976 in 1998.
The 10-miler gets rolling at 9:30 a.m. on Grandin Road across from Grandin Park Plaza and the fun run goes 10 minutes after the main race or once all of the 10-milers have left the starting gate.
The rolling 10-mile course features two uphills and two downhills as it winds into a figure eight through the Sturgeon River valley and the Lacombe and Grandin neighbourhoods.
The most taxing stretch is after mile seven while climbing Sir Winston Churchill Avenue and Levasseur Road.
The last mile-and-a-half drops 120 feet toward the finish line behind Grandin Park Plaza.
It promises to be a dry track with warm weather and clear skies forecasted for Sunday morning.
Last year 385 runners � 221 males and 164 females � completed the 10-miler and 11 finished the race in less than one hour.
The winner was Jason Jama of Edmonton in 54 minutes and two seconds and the fastest female was Alexandra Gordichuk of Edmonton at 1:02:47 for 25th place overall.
Marc Meunier was the No. 1 St. Albert runner at 58:05 for eighth place overall.
Shannon Maisano was the top St. Albert female in the race at 1:05:30 for third place in the female division and 43rd place overall.
Maisano was the first St. Albert winner of the female crown in 2012 at 1:03:03.
Two years ago 425 runners � 236 males and 189 females � went the distance in the 10-miler and 17 did it in under one hour.
The 10-mile course record of 50:46 was set by Matt Norminton of Edmonton in 2007 and the fastest female time of 54:36 was clocked by Aster Demissie of Edmonton in 2005.
The first male and female to break the course records will pocket $300.
The fastest male and female will also be awarded $500, the second fastest male and female pocket $300 and the third fastest male and female receive $100 apiece.
The top three finishers in each age-group category will also receive awards.
The 10-miler is part of the Timex Alberta Road Race Series and was voted one of the top-10 road races in the province last year.

Styling tools such as dryers and flat irons help to create a glamorous style with minimal time and damage to the hair. New technology has made it possible to have super model locks without paying the price.
Since our hair is often plagued by a variety of challenges, treatments are available to help restore and revive thinning hair, deliver intense moisture to brittle locks and provide smoothness to unruly and frizzy ends.
We carry maintenance products for every imaginable hair type from fine to thick as well as solutions for special challenges

Last week's poll question was "what do you think of Obama's choice for VP?"
55 percent of those voting said, "Excellent! Biden's my guy!" 29 percent said "Not my 1st choice, but not too shabby." 5 percent said "I'll hold my nose and pretend not to hate it."
1 percent believed "It's not Hillary so now I'm voting Libertarian," and 7 percent of those voting said "Hate it – how the hell do I get my cell number off Obama's list now?"
People. Really. A cumulative 8 percent of you are seriously thinking of not voting for Obama now? Do you not remember the razor-thin margins in the Gore-Bush race in 2000, and how much the outcome, plus the US Supreme Court ruling creating the outcome, has cost us?
Our Civil liberties gone. Check.
Our strong economy gone. Check.
Our place as a world leader with moral authority squandered. Check.
Countless lives, both American and otherwise, lost or ruined in a pointless war. Check.
So you seriously still believe this is about Hillary? Even Hillary doesn't believe it's about Hillary anymore. If you supported either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama in the primary, it must have meant that you were sick of the last 8 years. But if you're sick of the last 8 years, if John McCain is elected you won't be too crazy about the next 4 years either. Letting the perfect get in the way of the achievable is not a good plan. Jus' sayin'.
This week's poll is on top of the right hand sidebar. Vote there, and comment on it here.

- Predatory behaviour? Probe at Coles
- Watchdog eyes supermarket tactics
- Coles fuels Wesfarmers profit growth
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Rod Sims' disclosure that the competition regulator has escalated an investigation into the two big supermarket chains over possible anti-competitive behaviour towards suppliers is a watershed moment.
The competition regulator can demand that information be supplied to it in the formal investigation it is now running, so allegations that the supermarkets misuse their power in dealings with suppliers will finally be thoroughly examined. It may in time come to be seen as the point at which the enormous power of the two retailing giants finally began to be reined in.
When Sims says that the ACCC is now investigating whether the "major supermarkets" breached competition law in their dealings with suppliers he is talking about Woolworths and Wesfarmers-owned Coles, the two chains that dominate grocery retailing in Australia.
No laws broken, but ...
In his statement to a Senate Estimates Committee hearing on Wednesday night he was careful not to say that the major chains have broken the law, and it is a fact that the use of market power is not illegal.
The misuse of market power is illegal, however. Sims said the ACCC had now collected consistent and credible allegations of several types of behaviour that if proven would show unconscionable conduct on the part of the major supermarket chains in their dealings with their suppliers or the misuse of market power, in the form of discrimination by the big chains in favour of their rapidly proliferating home brands.
Claims that the big supermarket chains ride roughshod over their suppliers have existed for years (and been consistently rejected by Coles and Woolies) but this is the first time the competition regulator has collected enough information to warrant a full-scale investigation.
Supplying evidence
An earlier examination by the ACCC when it was led by Graeme Samuel concluded that there was workable competition between the big supermarket chains, but received very little usable information from suppliers about anti-competitive behaviour by the big chains towards them.
Even if they are fairly dealt with by Coles and Woolies, suppliers depend on their custom for their own commercial viability in this country. They are scared to risk damaging their relationship by levelling detailed allegations of anti-competitive behaviour. After Rod Sims decided early last year that the ACCC would examine the big supermarket chains again in response to concerns that were being amplified by price wars between the supermarket giants in staples including milk, he hit the same evidentiary road-block.
Claims that supermarkets were acting oppressively were mounting by the time Sims decided to take a look, and in Canberra politicians including the-then manufacturing minister Kim Carr were calling for action.
No suppliers were initially willing to break cover and take their concerns in detail to Sims, however. They were scared of the consequences, Sims said in his statement on Wednesday night. "Whether or not that fear was justified, it was certainly held by the suppliers we spoke to," he added.
The circuit breaker was a decision by Sims to offer any supplier that came forward complete confidentiality. A total of 50 suppliers eventually made contact and alleged behaviour that Sims told the Senate estimates Committee would amount to either unconscionable conduct or misuse of market power if proved.
The alleged behaviour is not necessarily identical across suppliers, product lines or even supermarkets, Sims said, but it includes:
- Persistent demands for additional payments from suppliers, above and beyond that negotiated in their terms of trade;
- The imposition on suppliers of penalties that did not form part of any negotiated terms of trade, and which apparently do not relate to actual costs incurred by the major supermarket chains as a result of the conduct which has led to the penalty being imposed;
- Threats to remove products from supermarket shelves or otherwise disadvantage suppliers if claims for extra payments or penalties are not paid;
- Failure to pay prices agreed with suppliers; and
- Conduct that discriminates in favour of the supermarkets' home-brand products.
The confidentiality guarantee that Sims gave 50 small and medium suppliers who eventually came forward was the thing that enabled the ACCC to harden up anecdotal reports about misbehaviour by the supermarkets, and Sims has that in mind as he escalates the probe.
Spreading the net
The ACCC will not rely on any of the information it has collected in confidence from the group of 50 if it decides to take action. Instead it will now compel suppliers to give it information, with the aim of building evidence it can use. Sims says it has identified "a number of suppliers who are likely to have relevant information. A few of the group of 50 will no doubt be formally re-interviewed in that process, but the bulk of the evidence will come from new and in most cases larger suppliers who have no so far come forward.
Sims was asked by the Senate estimates Committee last October to update on the progress of its inquiries when he appeared before the Committee this month. He told the Committee on Wednesday night that a supermarket and grocery industry working group that includes Coles, Woolworths, the Australian Food and Grocery Council and the National Farmers Federation is now proposing an industry code. It would be enforceable under the Competition and Consumer Act, he said, adding that the ACCC had provided input, and will be critiquing it.
The next stage of this probe will be interesting. Sims will be talking to suppliers including multinationals that are much bigger, and much more powerful. Clearly though, he has momentum. The development of an industry code would not stop the ACCC from taking action if it discovered that competition rules had been breached, he told the committee.

Recently two well-known figures have announced to the public they are gay. Missouri Tigers defensive end Michael Sam announced he was gay, and if he is drafted would be the first openly gay player in the NFL. The actress a lot of people know as "Juno," Ellen Page, announced she was gay during a speech in front of hundreds of people at the Human Rights Campaign's inaugural Time To THRIVE conference. Both of them have been heralded as brave.
When I heard all this, I wondered why this was news. What was so special about people being who they are. And then I remembered. We live in a society trying to prevent people for accessing their basic rights because it offends them. I wait for the day when announcements like this are no longer considered newsworthy, and it's just a part of the makeup of our society. Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen for a long time.
You see, while athletes and celebrities are embracing their sexuality and no longer choosing to hide it, some states are still trying to ban gay marriage. Indiana voters could vote to ban gay marriage in their 2016 elections. The potential action would not ban civil unions. As states are trying to ban a basic right, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down DOMA and California's Prop 8. So there is a little hope we are moving in the right direction for equality for all.
Now I'm all for freedom of speech – obviously, I work at a newspaper – but what riles me up is when someone has a differing opinion, voices it and then denies the opposing viewpoint an opportunity. We are all allowed to have opinions. Just because yours and mine are different doesn't mean we can't be civil and see the other side. Let's be clear, I will always fight for my opponents' right to say what they think, even if I don't like it. I just want the same courtesy in return.
I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind about gay marriage. It's a pretty polarizing topic, but ask yourself this, what would you do if you couldn't marry the one you love. It's depriving you of your ability to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, isn't it? We all deserve to be happy. I get to marry the love of my life later this year after being together for more than five years. I would be pitching a fit if someone tried to stop me from marrying him. A man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman doesn't impact my life. So why would I try to prohibit it? Those who are trying to, look very backwards and narrow-minded.
Let's take this a step further, those who say gay couples should not be able to adopt a child. Why, because it isn't your typical nuclear family? One dad, one mom and two kids. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist very much anymore. I grew up in that type of home, and I know I was lucky to have two parents who loved me unconditionally. That's all that really matters. But now, parents are getting divorced. Kids are being raised by their grandparents or aunt or uncles. Just have a loving environment. Give a family love and kindness.
Does it really matter? I mean really? Does it matter who people choose to love? No, I don't think so. I hope the rest of the world will eventually realize that and coming out won't be news anymore.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/1/2013 (1670 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MOON ALERT We have the all clear today to do business and make important decisions. The moon is in Leo.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today is much easier than yesterday. Things are still a bit sticky, but everything is calming down. Enjoy shmoozing with others and accept invitations to group situations. With Venus at the top of your chart, people see you in very positive terms now. (Milk this.)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
The dust is settling on differences between family and authority figures in your life. People have to understand your ambition is very strong now and you just have to do what you have to do. Nevertheless, if you can relax at home today, by all means, do so.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Hopefully, you got through yesterday without any accidents. Today is just a residual echo of that energy and so everything is calmer and quieter. You're eager to learn something new or talk to people from different backgrounds because you want to expand your world.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You are still focused on financial matters and cash flow, but probably feeling better than you did yesterday. Yes, there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train. Courage. Lucky Jupiter enters your sign in July this year. Yay me!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
The moon is still in your sign and you have survived yesterday's only full moon in Leo all year. Now you can heave a sigh of relief. Relations with partners and close friends might still be dicey because Mars opposes you, and Mars tends to make you impatient with others. Therefore, patience is your only recourse.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You can continue to play it low-key by hiding somewhere or working alone or off in the wings. (This suits you best.) You've been very focused on getting as much efficiency and productivity as you can from your efforts, but even you need a rest, no?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Relations with friends, especially females, will definitely improve. You might be happy to shmooze with others in group situations: classes, church, meetings, casual get-togethers or large conferences. Whatever the situation, you will feel more relieved dealing with others.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
No doubt you feel lighter and happier now that the full moon has passed. Relations with authority figures and family members will be more mellow. You don't have to worry about keeping your shirt on if you want to get something off your chest.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The tension from yesterday has hugely subsided. Nevertheless, this is still a busy time for you and you're still curious to explore new ideas and see new places. Wonderful! Do what you can. Talk to people from other cultures. Go someplace you've never been before. Be a tourist in your own city.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The stress you might have felt yesterday dealing with the wealth or values of others versus your own earnings and possessions is alleviated. You see that you can work through whatever problems you encountered. There is a solution. It will just take time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your energy is still strong today and relations with others have definitely improved. This is a fortunate time because you will attract people and favourable situations to you, which means you should make the most of this. Enjoy your good fortune.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You will notice, as each day goes by, that your home situation improves in every way. Family relationships are warmer and more mutually generous. Something might occur that makes you even feel richer where you live. It's all good.
Actor Alan Cumming (1965) shares your birthday. You are bright, clever and often exhibit ingenious talent at a young age, and you maintain a childlike delight and curiosity in life no matter what your age. In your mid-20s, you become more sympathetic and imaginative, and sensitive to everything around you. This sensitivity helps you artistically. In the year ahead, you will learn and study something valuable for your future.

Eric Bolling Is Still Wrong
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY SCHULMAN
Yesterday, we posted video of Fox's Eric Bolling saying, "America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don't remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time."
As we pointed out, this defense of President Bush's legacy -- which echoes similar comments made by Dana Perino and Rudy Giuliani -- is obviously false.
Today Bolling addressed the controversy, telling viewers, "Yesterday I misspoke when saying there were no U.S. terror attacks during the Bush years. Obviously, I meant in the aftermath of 9/11."
BOLLING: Yesterday I misspoke when saying there were no U.S. terror attacks during the Bush years. Obviously, I meant in the aftermath of 9/11. But that's when the radical liberal left pounced on us and me. Media Matters posted my error, saying I forgot about 9/11. No, I haven't forgotten. You see, I happened to be standing there watching in true terror as radical Islamists slammed planes into the towers that morning. I remember the towers collapsing, killing 3,000, including 16 of my close friends. And I really remember trying to comfort the kids of my friends at their memorial services. I'll never forget 9/11. But thank you liberals for reminding me how petty you can be.
The claim that there were no terrorist attacks in the U.S. during the Bush years "in the aftermath of 9/11" is still wrong. There were several.
2001 Anthrax Attacks. A March 2004 State Department report on "Significant Terrorist Incidents, 1961-2003" quotes then-Attorney General John Ashcroft saying of the letters containing anthrax mailed to various targets: "When people send anthrax through the mail to hurt people and invoke terror, it's a terrorist act." Five people were killed as a result of those letters in the autumn of 2001.
2002 Attack Against El Al Ticket Counter At LAX. In July 2002, Hesham Mohamed Hadayet opened fire at an El Al Airlines ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport killing two people and wounding four others before being shot dead. A 2004 Justice Department report stated that Hadayet's case had been "officially designated as an act of international terrorism."
2002 DC-Area Sniper. The state of Virginia indicted Washington, D.C.-area sniper John Allen Muhammad -- along with his accomplice, a minor at the time -- on terrorism charges for one of the murders he committed during a three-week shooting spree across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Muhammad was convicted, sentenced to death, and subsequently executed for the crime.
2006 UNC SUV Attack. In March 2006, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill graduate Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar drove an SUV into an area of campus, striking nine pedestrians. According to reports, Taheri-azar said he acted because he wanted to "avenge the deaths or murders of Muslims around the world." Taheri-azar also reportedly stated in a letter: "I was aiming to follow in the footsteps of one of my role models, Mohammad Atta, one of the 9/11/01 hijackers, who obtained a doctorate degree."
