Basic Picnic Basket Essentials
A picnic in a beautiful environment is a great escape and is on our "Must Do" list for the summer. It can also serve as a romantic date as exemplified in one of my favorite films, "Something's Gotta Give" with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. My favorite scene is the picnic on the shore, where they begin to develop a romantic infatuation with each other. Convince your summer fling or significant other to whisk you away for an evening picnic - here is a list of essentials for the basket…
Whether the picnic is located at a secluded beach or a shaded park, the consistent basket essentials revolve around food and dining basics. To intensify a particular mood, you may want to stash fresh flowers, candles (and matches), and a portable music player. Other particulars to keep in mind is the need for sunscreen, an umbrella, or both for a bright summer day picnic. For a picnic by night, lighting is going to be essential and a simple lantern may do just the trick.
10 Basic Picnic Basket Essentials:
- Lunch, dinner, or small treats
- Wine or Fresh Lemonade
- Glassware Including Wine Glasses
- Tea Cups
- Flatware
- Dinnerware
- Corkscrew
- Napkins
- Blanket
- Ice or Ice Packs
What are your favorite summer picnic memories?

Basics that are permanent in my picnic basket:
1. Swiss Army knife (corkscrew/bottle opener/knife).
2. Cheap rubber placemat (worksurface/cutting board).
3. Different sized Ziploc bags (for leftovers).
4. Garbage bags.
5. Wet Naps.
6. Frozen water bottles (why am I going to waste space with ice packs, when I can have both cold and drinks?)
7. ABSOLUTELY NO GLASSWARE! (Glass breaks and it tends to end up being walked on by either people or animals.)
I like to make the picnic a two-person participation event. What I mean by that is that you divide up the list and each person has his/her own items to bring. That way it's a special treat and surprise for both parties. I may choose the food and he brings the beverage, music and flowers. Location if key to having a successful picnic. To me, the more private, the better. I even believe you can have a romantic picnic in your backyard. Bug repellent can also be an important necessity.
If you use a bug repellant candle you get both the ambiance and the protection. They make both nice looking and nice smelling citronella candles these days.
I recently got wicker picnic baskets from The Basket Lady. I use the smaller "wine & cheese picnic basket" when it is just my husband and I and the large wicker picnic basket when we picnic with friends. I also like to use the smaller one to do "light" shopping at WholeFoods. Makes me feel very European :-)

Do you keep saying you want to get out and walk or exercise more, but don't?
Now, a new study suggests that simply wearing a pedometer can help increase your walking.
Australian researchers tracked walking rates for more than a year among 330 relatively non-active people aged 65 or older.
The study found that weekly walking times nearly doubled when they wore the devices.
How did pedometers work to boost walking rates?
According to researchers, wearing the device apparently "allows users to see how much physical activity they are accumulating through their general daily routines," upping the odds they'll stick with the program.
Participants didn't see any change in their weight; however, they did experience significant improvements in blood pressure.

Hi everyone,
During my last trip to Korea I became totally addicted to the chumokbap, specially the one of kimchi, tuna or a mix of both. I had it every day for breakfast and I never got tired of it. I've tried to make it at home guessing the way to do it... but I failed totally. Mine is not so yummy and not so crispy.
Does someone have a recipe or tips to make it?
Thanks in advance!

CHICAGO (AP) - Justin Masterson pitched his major league-leading third shutout of the season and the Cleveland Indians completed their first 4-game sweep in Chicago since 1948, beating the White Sox 4-0 Sunday.
Masterson (10-6) gave up six hits, struck out eight and walked one. He blanked the White Sox for the second time this year.
Masterson faced the minimum 18 batters through six innings thanks to two double plays and a pickoff.
After Masterson began the ninth with two strikeouts, he allowed a single to Alejandro De Aza and hit Alexei Ramirez with a pitch. Masterson struck out Alex Rios looking to end the game.
The win moved Cleveland into a virtual tie with Detroit atop the AL Central.

Wind Ensemble to perform unique "Anniversaries" concert
Titled "Anniversaries," the wide-ranging concert takes place on March 1 at 7:30 p.m. at La Sierra's Hole Memorial Auditorium. The repertoire includes "Endurance," a piece by Timothy Mahr commemorating the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic expedition in 1914. Named after Shackleton's ice-bound ship, the composition serves as a musical reflection upon the infinite endurance of the human spirit.
Other works include "Star-Crossed," an Andrew Boysen piece composed last year and performed in sync with the action of anime-style art by Erik Evensen in video format. The comic book-like video stars heroine Red Rhapsody and the villain, The Maverick. Their story plays out to a soundtrack performed by the ensemble under direction of Ken Narducci.
"The conductor has to live-sync the ensemble to the video. Kind of a challenge, but fun," Narducci said.
The group will also perform "Tight Squeeze" by Alex Shapiro with a pre-recorded soundscape, and "Equus," a dynamic minimalist work by Grammy Award-winning composer Eric Whitacre. They will also play "Shadow Falls," written last year by Emmy Award-winning composer Julie Giroux, and "Fantasia for Alto Saxophone" by Claude T. Smith featuring Saishuro Masumoto on saxophone.
The concert repertoire came about initially as a way of sharing new and engaging music by serious band music composers who are friends and colleagues, said Narducci who serves as La Sierra's director of wind and percussion studies. It also bridges "the generation gap with time well spent on music that reaches deep into one's soul -- that place where we need to spend more time and contemplation."
Admission is free. The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Hole Memorial Auditorium. For information call 951-785-2036. La Sierra University is located at 4500 Riverwalk Parkway, Riverside.

Quite a lot of ABS options in the Honda range these days, wonder why as the bike gets bigger the ABS add-on costs more... is ABS really more expensive on a bigger bike or is it just a cynical pricing policy?
S-Wing 125, ABS = £150
Hornet 600, ABS = £350

Blade - quality.
Got to be the Blade in my view. Honda are still above Zuki in the build quality department. But also Honda (and BMW) do abs on sports bikes. Uh oh, I said abs. Here we go....."real sports bike riders don't need abs...abs is for girls...blah blah blah". We'll my view is simple, it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I've had bikes with, but most without. Anyway it probably will be the way the industry will go. They said the same thing about cars with abs, now most (even small cars) have them and it's on the list of what most people want on a car.
12 July 2011 13:26
Honda Deals
Sales would be up i would recon and possibly bet my wheels, by 100% ... Blade really 2012 or GSXR thou ?? im in the frame of mind of thinking i could do it come Jan 2012 but would like to see something to tempt me to pursue my dream.... if Honda Suzuki kawasaki or any of them said they would do a 0% finance in January i would sign on the dotted line now... Fact.. so basically Irish Dealers get your fingers out and stop being greedy feckers..

Wilson Has Break Out Performance In Bears' 42-28 Loss To Western Illinois
Sept. 23, 2006
Final Stats | Quotes | Photo Gallery by Dean Popejoy | Photo Gallery by Bill Popejoy
By Kyle Boyd
Media Relations Student Intern
GREELEY, Colo - Senior running back Andre Wilson led the University of Northern Colorado football team with 158 rushing yards on 30 carries in the Bears' 42-28 loss to Western Illinois on Saturday at Nottingham Field. It was Wilson's first 100-yard game in nine tries, dating back to Oct. 22 of last year against Southern Utah.
"I haven't seen the open field a lot; it was good to get out and run," said Wilson, who scored three rushing touchdowns for the Bears. It was his first multi-touchdown game since the Bears hosted Southeastern Louisiana last season.
Although Northern Colorado (1-3 overall) ended up out gaining Western Illinois (3-1) in total yards, the Bears lost the turnover battle, which seemed to seal the victory for the Leathernecks. WIU scored 14 points off three Northern Colorado turnovers.
"Turnovers will always kill you," said Bears junior quarterback Dominic Breazeale, who committed one of the turnovers with an interception in the second quarter. Breazeale finished with 209 yards passing and went 16-of-25.
Each team scored on its opening drive. WIU opened the game with an eight-play, 78-yard drive, capped off by a Herb Donaldson 26-yard touchdown run. Donaldson finished with 105 rushing yards on 12 carries.
The Bears answered with a drive of their own, capped off by Breazeale's one-yard sneak. The touchdown capped a 17-play, 79-yard drive that consumed nine minutes of the opening quarter.
After the opening drive, the Leathernecks scored 28 unanswered points and capitalized on two Northern Colorado turnovers to take a 35-7 lead.
Although the game seemed to be out of their reach, the Bears came back and pulled to within two touchdowns of the Leathernecks after Wilson punched it in the end zone twice, with his last touchdown coming with 47 seconds left in the game. Northern Colorado's momentum ran out, however, when Western Illinois recovered a Bears onside kick. The Leathernecks ran out the clock for the victory.
The Bears benefited from the return of junior punter Rafael Mendoza, who returned after missing last week's game against Texas State. Mendoza punted the ball four times with a nearly 40-yard average and one inside the 20. His day was highlighted with a season-long 58-yarder.
"I'm happy for Rafael; he came along well. I kept asking him all week, and he kept asking doctors and trainers all week if he could return," said head coach Scott Downing.
The Bears defense was led by Matt Thomas, who had eight tackles. Junior linebacker Asa Matthews chipped in with seven tackles. Freshman cornerback Myles Hayes claimed his first career sack after downing Western Illinois quarterback Steve LaFalce on a corner blitz in the second quarter.
Northern Colorado will be back in action next Thursday with a trip to Ogden, Utah, to take on the Weber State Wildcats. The game is set for a 6:35 p.m. (MST) kickoff and will be broadcast on ESPN-U, as well as 1310-AM KFKA in Greeley and 1510-AM KYOL in Denver. The game will also be available on BigSkyTV.org.

Authorities in Chicago say they've charged a convicted felon with the Feb. 9 fatal shooting of a woman working at a Subway restaurant on the city's west side.
The Chicago Tribune reports that 41-year-old Anthony White was charged Friday with first-degree murder and armed robbery. The newspaper says White has several drug convictions on his record.
Chicago police say 54-year-old Lynetta Ward was working behind the counter at the restaurant when an armed man entered and announced a robbery. Detective Commander Anthony Riccio says the robber shot Ward when she backed away. The robber got away after confronting a second worker and grabbing money from the cash register.
A separate investigation led police to a person who identified White as the robber in surveillance video released after the robbery.

Here without you!2 Reviews
Evey recalls her experience with V, but sometimes the past is not always ready to die.
Evey stood silently on the rooftop staring at the slow steady downpour. The sweet smell of roses radiated from the greenhouse behind her and sent her back a two years ago the first time she'd experienced the beauty and complexity of the man known only as V. She gave a sad smile thinking of the night she placed him on his chariot after he finished his goal in life.
In his own right he was more then just flesh and bone, his whole persona was a perfect reflection of a belief in a better world. V stood for a cause and in doing so brought a chaotic totalitarian nation to anarchy and back to an existence worth believing and fighting for. He did what those before him weren't strong enough or fearless enough to do. His methods were less than conventional but creative and more than effective, they were a way of life.
That's how the world outside these walls and beyond these boarders will remember the man in the mask. He who fought against and returned a nation and its government back to its people.
Evey smiled a sad and hurtful smile, everynight she dreamed of him and replayed the night she watched him walk away a man on a mission and return a man on his deathbed. If only there were more she could have done for him, a way to save him in those final minutes. standing there outside the traincar her eyes deceived her as she thought she saw thr body of their saviour move, but alass it was all a simple dream. V was gone and with that a part of her heart and soul. He had created her and taught her to be free of fear and now the only fear she felt was that of returning to his house and life and bed alone.
Evey looked back over her shoulder towards the door to his mansion, V had surprised her the night of his revolution. He had given her all he was, all he'd created and all he'd dreamed of his entire existence.
A single tear escaped her eyes, every time she thought about the entire situation her heart broke a little more. She wrapped her arms around herself looking for comfort in one of his black cloaks; it had his familiar scent of leather and cologne locked inside the threads forever. She glanced one more time up at the sky and slowly started making her way back to the elevator.
When the elevator hit the bottom floor she stepped out taking a few steps in the direction of the bedroom, she stopped suddenly and headed to the jukebox. She stood there staring at the glass blindly, lost in her own personal thoughts. Her fingers nimbly moved over the buttons for their song, the one and only song they ever danced to, a simple request he asked of her. And they danced, slowly moving to the sweet melody, both secretly wishing the song would go on forever. Evey had hated herself for not coming back to him sooner; but she had been afraid. Afraid of what was to become of that fateful night, afraid of what would happen to him but first and foremost the feelings she'd gained for V. She wasn't afraid for herself, he'd helped her get past that but she was afraid of the intense fear she felt about the chance of loosing him. The whole time she had been on her own there was always that feeling the sense of peace knowing where he was and that for the most part he was safe.
As the final note ended she was brought out of her thoughts, she looked around the room and sighed. It was almost like she had felt him enter the room, but alas it was only a heartfelt wish and her senses playing games with her.
Evey's head turned back towards the bedroom and made her way slowly, time passed by so terribly slow these days. It was funny how a single year could have flown by so quickly and now even a day seemed to last a life time. She decided to try to sleep, even though even that was hard to come by still. Every night she relived that horrible night, holding him in her arms as he lay bleeding, gasping for breath and in his final minutes confessed what she had secretly pleaded to hear. 'He loved me.' That thought brought on fresh tears, she lived that night over and over again in her dreams. Every night she saved him, she convinced him not to go, anything that would keep him alive and in her arms. But every morning she'd wake, sad, cold and alone in a large empty bed inside the large lonesome house that offered nothing but memories.
Evey crawled into bed wrapping the covers around her like a mother would swaddle her infant; the warmth reminded her of the safety of his arms. Over and over again she tossed and turned, finally crying herself to sleep an hour later, drifting off to haunted dreams of the man she missed so much.
Evey had barely gotten to sleep when the faint sound of music caused her to stir, her eyes fluttered for a few moments until she was entirely sure she wasn't dreaming. She sat up quickly in bed and looked around, she was still in bed and everything was as it was when she fell asleep. "Music?" She grabbed one of V's daggers she kept under her pillow for protection and climbed out the bed. Softly, she padded out of the room and down the hallway towards the living room where his jukebox was located. Evey peaked her head around the corner but could not see the middle of the room, tightening her grip on the dagger she cautiously stepped out from hiding in the hallway to the living room.
The clatter of the dagger to the floor startled the being at the jukebox causing him to turn around; Evey's eyes went wide as she starred at the man she'd dreamed about since that fateful night. V stood before her, dressed in his patented all black ensemble, his back now to the jukebox. What sounded like a silent prayer she heard him whisper, "Evey...."
Evey's lower lip quivered as she tried to take deep breaths, afraid this was all a dream, 'No, a nightmare,' she thought. Her entire body threatened to give way as she starred at him, she started to shake and felt light headed as her legs became incredibly weak. Before her body could touch the floor strong arms surrounded her and lifted her up into his tight embrace carrying her to the couch. "V?" she whispered before she succumbed to darkness.
*Cliff hanger!!!

Viewer discretion is advised!
Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like you're being tested and pushed to possibly breaking or giving up on something. Don't give whoever or whatever is antagonizing you the satisfaction of seeing you break down. Even if they are breaking you down don't let them see it.
Keep doing you, and keep climbing toward success, because the only way you beat people who push and push until you give up is to NEVER GIVE UP! They will eventually back off once they see that your determination is way stronger than their ill will, leaving you victorious.

The Glorious Charlotte Russe Recipe
My wonderful French mother, a cook of cooks, has been slowing down for the last four years. Her balance is gone, her speech is disintegrating, and her memory is weakening. During the past four years, I've been bringing her to my house so she can speak with her granddaughters and have dinner with the family. To her annoyance, she can no longer follow a recipe, and her glorious Charlotte Russe is now a soggy mess of ladyfingers and coffee pudding.
My mother didn't start as a great cook. She started out as a competent secretary for a furrier in Paris. After WWII, her mother, three other sisters, and a brother moved from Tarascon to the bright lights. I only assume that her mother cooked while the girls went off to work. Mom didn't inherit any great cooking skills from her mother, and any ancestral knowledge disappeared in Auschwitz.
However, life changed and she married an American, who brought her to the United States in the early '50's. Once people found out that she was French, their replay was "You must be a terrific cook". And so the legend was created. Mom studied cookbooks, learned techniques, tested and retested recipes, and became a great cook before Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" was in print.
Now, in my mother's head were thousands of recipes, and techniques. As she got into her '80's this knowledge is disappearing. It's a good thing that I have been able to learn from her as my daughters are learning from me. Suzanne is a fabulous baker, and Christie now can make spaghetti and... read more
- 1 tsp. powder expresso coffee
- 2 packets of unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup of sugar
- 3 cups of whole milk
- 1/8 cup of cognac
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 pint of heavy whipping cream
- 2 packets of ladyfingers* Sometimes stores don't carry ladyfingers but instead their bakery department can sell them to you. They only buy them to make their cakes. So if you can't find ladyfingers, just ask in the bakery department.
- In a heavy pot, heat milk, expresso, gelatin, sugar and whole milk until sugar and gelatin are melted (just before the boil). Stir often. When mixture is melted, take mixture off of the burner, and add the cognac. Cool for ½ hour. Place in refrigerator for 2 hours (approx). You want this cold but not like harden aspic (if that happenas, just whip it in the mixer once you've made the whipped cream – trust me, I've done it).
- Using parchment or wax paper, trace the bottom of the spring pan, cut and place. Then do the same for the sides of the spring pan. This is done so you can easily separate the spring pan from the charlotte. Split the ladyfingers and place it around the sides. Do the same for the bottom of the pan using torn pieces to cover any holes.
- On the high setting of your mixer, whip the cream and vanilla until the whip cream can hold up a spoon. Add gelatin mixture and mix until it is blended. Pour into the spring pan. Decorate with powder cocoa or semi-sweet chocolate shavings. At serving time, open the spring pan, and remove the paper around the sides. To really dress this up, run a ribbon and tie a bow around the outside.

New law expands Breathalyzer use against drunken drivers
By Joe Beck - email@example.com
A change in the state law governing the use of Breathalyzers or other ignition interlock devices will make the devices a much more common sight in the vehicles of anyone convicted of drunken driving.
The widening use of the devices means that first time offenders and those convicted with relatively low blood alcohol levels must now have them installed in all vehicles registered in their names. The law previously limited their use to repeat offenders and those who registered a blood alcohol level of .15 or above.
Installing and maintaining an ignition interlock device can cost those convicted hundreds of dollars. James Parrish, a defense attorney from Manassas who has represented many clients in drunken driving cases in Warren County, said the offender pays a state-approved vendor to install the device and also pays the vendor a monthly fee while it remains in the vehicle.
Parrish said the costs have "changed dramatically" in recent years, although he was unsure of the exact expense. The website for the Northern Virginia Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving quotes an installation fee of $50 plus a $55 a month lease fee and tax.
Parrish said he has already seen the law taking effect in court. Its provisions apply to anyone convicted after July 1, including those who were arrested weeks or months before. As a result, he said, "there was quite a bit of action" among defense attorneys "prior to July 1 to try to get cases scheduled for July heard sooner to avoid that penalty."
Melanie Stokes, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Motor Vehicles, cited the persistent toll of deaths and injuries related to drunken driving as the reason why her agency, the AAA and the Washington Regional Alcohol Project "were advocates for this."
The state's records show18 injuries in 29-alcohol-related deaths in Warren County last year and 52 alcohol-related accidents leading to 30 injuries and two deaths in Shenandoah County in 2011. The figures for Frederick County were 81 accidents linked to alcohol, 53 injuries and eight deaths in 2011
"We definitely want to prevent drunken driving if possible," Stokes said.
Parrish said the technology isn't foolproof. The devices sometimes register false positive readings, which force defendants to reappear in court and prove they had nothing to drink, despite what the readings say.
"Sometimes they detect odors from mouthwashes and other non-alcoholic drinks," Parrish said of the devices.
Ignition interlock devices like the Breathalyzer work by drivers blowing into them before starting their vehicles and then continuing to do so at various intervals while driving. The devices signal when it is time to give another breath sample, and the driver does so after pulling off to the side of the road, Parrish said. If the new sample registers alcohol present, the vehicle shuts off.

Sorry to sound pessimistic, but; I don' t think this will do any good. People will always find a way around things like this. It might even cause more problems. Bartenders and waitstaff should be more responsible ( Although that would cut into profits....) for cutting people off whom they know don't have a D.D.. As, for the people who don't go out and drink at their or a friends house....... Needs to be scared of harsher penalties..... Fines and or house arrest.
Bartenders and waitstaff should be more responsible ( Although that would cut into profits....)
As someone who has spent most of my adult life working in the restaurant business, it is not my responsibility to baby sit guests. I don't make profits, I make a living. I can already be sued and/or jailed if some drunk does something stupid. In my humble opinion, it's not my problem, I'm not their mommy.
I agree with Op. It is not their responsibility to babysit anyone drinking. Point blank..regardless of false readings...this is a great idea. I am not a saint. I drank and drove and got caught over 10 years ago. I thank the Lord every day that I did not kill myself or ANYONE else! In fact, glad I got caught. I learned my lesson that day. I was not a big drinker but when out to a club and decided to drive...I agree with this first time offense because some people do not learn or have an addiction. The price/fees are not even a penny compared to a life lost because of drinking and driving.

BBA Aviation engine repair and overhaul company Dallas Airmotive and fractional ownership provider Avantair have signed a five-year engine maintenance agreement. Dallas Airmotive will provide repair, hot-section inspection, overhaul and field service on the PT6A-66 turboprop engines that power Avantair's fleet of 50 Piaggio Avantis. The engines will be serviced at Dallas Airmotive's Charlotte, N.C.
Piaggio has received three firm orders for the P.180 Avanti II twin turboprop–two from the United Arab Emirates military and another from Susi Air in Indonesia. The UAE air force will use its Avanti IIs for transportation of specialized staff and medical evacuation. An ambulance kit enables quick reconfiguration. The aircraft come with a complete integrated logistics support package, including training for pilots and maintenance technicians.
Clearwater, Fla.-based fractional provider Avantair reported another quarter of positive EBITA profits in a difficult economic environment, putting the Piaggio Avanti fleet operator on the path to health after years of losses. In its fiscal third quarter, which ended March 31, the company saw year-over-year revenues climb 15.7 percent to $34.7 million.
Piaggio Aero Industries' new management team is still refusing to go public on long-rumored plans that it will launch a new jet program. At the same time, the Italian manufacturer has reported that production rates for the existing P.180 Avanti II twin pusherprop are holding up well in soft market conditions.
Clearwater, Fla.-based fractional provider Avantair saw its year-over-year revenues climb nearly 24 percent, to $35.4 million, in its second fiscal quarter, which ended December 31. It also narrowed its quarterly loss to $600,000, an improvement of
Clearwater, Fla.-based fractional provider Avantair saw its year-over-year revenues climb nearly 24 percent to $35.4 million in its second fiscal quarter, which ended December 31. It also narrowed its quarterly loss to $600,000, down 87 percent from the same period a year earlier.
Avantair on December 15 took delivery of its 50th Piaggio Avanti turboprop twin–in line, it said, with Avantair's steady fleet expansion since it was started in July 2003. At present, Avantair operates the youngest fleet in the fractional aircraft industry, at approximately 3.7 years, according to the JetNet Fractional Ownership and Aircraft Report.
Piaggio Avanti fractional provider Avantair said it logged a record number of flights during the Thanksgiving holiday (November 25 to 30), "in sharp contrast to the overall slowdown in demand experienced by major U.S.
Fractional-share operator Avantair saw its revenues climb significantly for the fiscal year that ended on June 30. Compared with the same period last year, revenues increased 51.3 percent, to $115.6 million from $76.4 million.
as the economy lurches from bad to worse news, the aviation industry is holding its breath, waiting to see how this downturn will affect the business jet market and elements of that market such as the fractional share business.

Banana Bread with Cinnamon Chips
Everyone's Favorite Comfort Food, Revisited
On days when I have leftovers in the fridge or we have dinner plans I don't need to use my daughter's afternoon naptime to prepare dinner. So, instead, I use the time to bake some of our favorite treats like cookies, no-knead bread and this, a true household staple, banana bread. In my household banana bread is the ultimate comfort food. We eat it year-round and I always have a stockpile of bananas in our freezer whenever I feel the need to whip up a loaf. Which is about once a week.—
I love Naptime Chef-ing banana bread for many reasons, not the least of which are that the batter is a snap to prepare, and the final product guarantees several days of snacking pleasure. Even just being in my apartment while it bakes is a treat in itself. The aroma of baking bananas and sweet spices is seductive, making the process of letting it cool before I dig in an exercise in self-restraint.
Sometimes I add cinnamon chips as a treat, giving the bread a delicious twist. I came up with this combination by accident, I was out of my usual addition of mini-chocolate chips one day and decided to use the half bag of cinnamon chips I had on hand instead. I love the way the cinnamon flavor enhances the banana, sweetening and amplifying the fruit flavor without being too overpowering.
In my opinion the best thing about this particular bread is it's genuine banana flavor. It has a soft, tender crumb that makes it perfect for adults and children alike. In fact, this was one of my daughter's first solid foods. These days when I bake it during naptime it has usually cooled sufficiently to be eaten by the time she wakes up. I cut her a warm slice and she eats it with a thin layer cream cheese for her afternoon snack.
Banana Bread with Cinnamon Chips
adapted from an old handwritten recipe from my mother and grandmother
8 T. (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 t. good vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas, mashed (I mash them in a bowl with a fork)
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 t. cinnamon
3/4 c. Cinnamon chips or mini-chocolate chips (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350%uFFFDF. Butter and flour a standard 9×5 loaf pan*.
2. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream butter and sugar until fully combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mix well. Add mashed bananas, mix again until everything is completely combined.
3. In a separate bowl mix flour, soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and cinnamon chips. Stir this mixture a few times and make sure the chips are fully coated with flour.
4. With the mixer on low, stir flour mixture into egg mixture bit by bit until the flour is just incorporated.The batter may still be a little lumpy from the bananas, this is normal.
5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45 – 50 minutes or until top is golden and a cake tester comes out clean.
6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
*If you want smaller loafs divide the batter into smaller loaf pans, or mini loaf pans.
Freezer Tips: This bread freezes well. If you want to save it for later simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Then wrap it again with an outer layer of aluminum foil. Make sure none of the bread is exposed to air. It will last in the freezer for 2-4 months.
Naptime Notes:
Naptime Recipe Props: Banana bread goes with just about anything. It can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dessert. I have even grilled it before – it is delicious this way!
Naptime Stopwatch: The batter preparation takes a brief 5 minutes. Baking time is about 50 minutes. While it is baking take care of other things around the house.
Naptime Reviews: Banana bread is a regular part of my daughter's diet, she can never get enough these days. While this is a traditional comfort food, I have served it to guests as well. It is great for serving at playgroup, taking to a potluck, or bringing to new parents in need of some homemade baked goods.

New Breed of Trojan Raises Security Concerns
By eWeek - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
Security researchers believe they have identified a new breed of Trojan horse that is infecting machines on the Internet, possibly in preparation for a larger coordinated attack.
However, experts have been unable to pin down many of the details of the program's behavior and are unsure how many machines might be compromised by the Trojan.

"I felt the concussion go through my chest," Ann Tiplady said. "I have never felt anything like that before."
Tiplady lives on a quiet farm in Wallingford, but a recent string of explosions have set her and many neighbors on edge.
"Suddenly there was a very loud explosion next-door. My husband was on the other side of the house and he said he felt it inside his body, and he thought a gas station 2 miles away had blown up," Tiplady said.
The Vermont State Police say over the last several weeks they have been responding to numerous calls from concerned residents in Wallingford, Clarendon and Ira. Although the booms are packing a serious punch, they are coming from small containers and are what authorities are calling "exploding targets."
"It is something that is used as a target and it does, it explodes. But the ATF, federal agencies said there is nothing illegal about it. It is legal to buy, it is legal to possess," Vt. State Police Lt. Chuck Cacciatore said.
Inside the canister are two separate ingredients: ammonium nitrate prills and aluminum power. On their own, the items are not considered explosives, but once mixed and then shot with a rifle, the blast can be massive. While a half-pound is recommended to use on targets, 100 pounds can level a house.
The homemade explosives are legal to purchase, and one can do so online, or even at various sporting goods stores, like Dick's.
The exploding targets are often referred to by the popular brand name, Tannerite.
Paul Thomas of Cragin's Gun shop says the item does not stay on the shelves long.
"We sell quite a lot of it; our customers do like it," Thomas said. "They are using it in a safe manner, so I've been told. They are just having a lot of fun shooting it. It just makes a lot of noise."
Although popular among customers, some have raised concerns, and the Tannerite-type explosives have been banned in several states. Vermont is currently not one of those states, but Tiplady and other Wallingford residents say they are hoping for change.
"The explosions are really disruptive," Tiplady said. "It's hard to enjoy living with explosions next door."
After the massive explosion at the fertilizer plant in Texas several weeks ago, additional concerns have been raised about the components of Tannerite. Ammonium nitrate prills were what the Texas fertilizer plant was manufacturing.

Here's a sneak peek at a column that will appear in print in this Sunday's special AJC College Football Section. The 34-page section will preview Georgia State, Georgia Tech and UGA seasons, the SEC and ACC, top games, Heisman candidates and more.
Nine years ago, Mark Richt lost his first SEC game as a head coach (to South Carolina) and started 4-3 in a conference that generally doesn't allow for long honeymoon periods, at least not outside of Vanderbilt.
It wasn't the usual backdrop for what would happen in the next four years. Richt went 44-9 overall and 25-7 in the SEC. He won two conference titles at a school that hadn't won one since 1982. He won a Sugar Bowl.
What has occurred since at Georgia is less a market correction than it is a changing landscape. Think of the SEC as a boulevard of resort hotels. Richt built what seemed like Xanadu in 2002. The problem came when Les Miles, Florida and Alabama built more lavish structures down the street.
LSU, Florida and Alabama didn't just win SEC championships. They won national championships — the last four, in fact. Over that same period, Richt went 20-12 in the SEC without making it to the conference title game once.
Xanadu began to look like a slightly weathered Marriott.
Which brings us to 2010. Georgia is not crumbling and Richt is not on the firing line. There has, however, been a leveling off in Athens. To deny that would be like a hotel owner ignoring the other properties that are stealing his business.
The Dogs are somewhere back in the vapor trail left by Florida and Alabama. Richt's not in denial — otherwise he wouldn't have fired three assistant coaches after going 8-5 (4-4) last season.
The question now: Is this the bounce-back year? Possibly. Richt may never have a better chance to quiet critics.
The potential pitfalls of starting a redshirt freshman quarterback, Aaron Murray, should be minimized by an experienced offensive line and two key weapons for Murray to feed: A.J. Green and Washaun Ealey. The defense should be significantly improved under Todd Grantham (who is switching to a 3-4).
The schedule? Instead of opening against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, as in 2009, the Bulldogs open against Louisiana-Lafayette in Athens. They don't play Alabama. They don't play LSU. They do play Florida, but it would be surprising if the Gators didn't feel the loss of nine starters in the first five rounds of the NFL draft, including: Tim Tebow, Joe Haden, Maurkice Pouncey, Carlos Dunlap and the serial eye-gouger, Brandon Spikes.
There's also this: Richt just feels better about his team. Granted, all coaches like their team before opening kickoff, but Richt's confidence is rooted in something legitimate: strength and stability on his offensive line.
"I like our maturity on offense," he said. "You see it especially up front, even the non-glamour positions if you want to throw in the fullbacks.
"There's something about when your offensive linemen are your sages, your veterans, your leaders. When they're running it, things tend to go well. They're pretty grounded. They're not glamorous. They're really the most unselfish guys on the team. "
Glamour seldom is Georgia's problem. It seldom gets more glamorous than Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno in the same backfield. But that was in 2008, and a pre-season No. 1 team wound up getting drilled by Alabama and Florida, losing at home to Georgia Tech and settling for the Capital One Bowl.
Georgia's problems have been in other areas: a lack of discipline, sometimes passion, sometimes just a seeming willingness to punch the opponent in the mouth.
Experience and the arrival of Grantham, who's far more fiery than Martinez, should help in those areas. But fire starts at the top and Richt needs to light one with his team.
This season could start well — very well. If the Dogs can get past early tests against South Carolina and Arkansas, they could be 8-0 going to Jacksonville. But Richt knows better than to play "the schedule game."
"I used to do it more than I do now," he said. "What year was it – Stafford's freshman year [2006]? I kind of did it that year a little bit. We didn't have a great season. Everything looked different than it was. So I don't do that any more."
The Dogs were coming off Richt's second SEC title that year but they went 4-4 in the conference in 2006. The landscape changed. Richt, going into his 10th season, realized Georgia required some renovation.
Now we find out what the place looks like.

I second Not Disappointed. Do you really expect the guy to think they're going to be mediocre at best this season, much less say it? Not that that's necessarily what I think is their potential, but, while a coach knows his team better than anyone else does, he's hardly the best person to give an unbiased view of their potential. Only time will tell for both UGA (sic) and Tech.
August 26th, 2010
2:12 pm
They are, too. They are going to win 10 in the regular season and one of those may very well come in Jacksonville. They are at least three wins better than last year if they 1.) cut down on turnovers, 2.) have more takeaways and 3.) stop somebody. All three of those will surely happen.

Welcome back, Jeff. Do you know if those shoes Coach is wearing in the photo are his or the athletic department's or are they a gift? The reason I want to know is that I got nothing from Nike. Only Krylon.

2:14 pm
Excellent article. I wouldn't call finishing #2 in 2007, and #10 in 2008 a big problem. Sure last year, should have won the Kent & LSU games. Should have beaten Tenn. Should have gone 10-3, or 11-2, minimum. It was an off-year.
Problems are not penalties (Florida is consistenly among college football's worst) not turnovers (The nation's best at not giving the ball away rarely win more Championships (Navy/Air Force, Army). The best teams play aggressive, they arn't afraid to make mistakes.
Problems have been strategy:
1- Too much passing in 1st 7 games, need to have a heavy run strategy, NEVER abandon the run game, under ANY circumstances or you become 1 dimensional
2- Not getting playmakers like AJ Green, Ealey, Olson enough touches the way Florida and Alabama uses their playmakers. Rotating in too many mediocre players to "keep everybody fresh". The rotation system has been utterly ridculous. Play your best players, keep the mediocre players ff the field.
3- Willie's read and react defensive strategy was too passive, and people had finally caught on to what Georgia was doing defensively and Georgia had become too predictible. Offense became predictable too, Georgia became the easiest team to intercept a ball from, just very easy to read.

2:15 pm
Disagree a bit about the fire having to come from the top. I like a HC with a measured approach and a DC with a fiery temperment ala Richt and Van Gorder, Dooley and Russell, Bowden and Andrews, etc. That being said, you still have to have a top guy that's not going to put up with crap.
August 26th, 2010

I'm stoked for football season!!
August 26th, 2010
2:16 pm
Nice job Jeff in pointing out the 'reasons' Richt feels good about this team. A solid offensive line, a great receiver, awesome tight ends, talented running backs, an aggressive defense with new coaches, and a little easier schedule gives plenty of reasons to be optimistic.
August 26th, 2010
2:16 pm
In 2001/2002, Richt bounced back and finished #3. In 2006/2007, he bounced back and finished #2. He will bounceback again and finish in the top 3, likely #1.
August 26th, 2010
2:17 pm
As I recall the Bulldogs were pretty well devastated by injuries in 2008. Or am I wrong, again?
August 26th, 2010
2:18 pm
A fun thing is to compare Richt's 1st 9 seasons to Bear Bryant's or Nick Saban's.
Richt had 6 top 10 finishes, Bear and Saban 1 top 10 finish.
Richt won .770 of his games, Bear & Saban won a lot less.
Richt had 2 top 3 finishes, Bear had 1 & Saban had 0.
August 26th, 2010
2:19 pm
Here's hoping the defense raises the intensity level a couple of notches, and the offense is able to feed off of that. I'm ready to see some of our special athletes make game-changing plays the way I see other teams' special athletes doing. If our O-line can stay healthy we can be successful. If not, we may be in for a repeat of last year.

I'm confident UGA will be better this fall than last. How much? If we knew that, wouldn't be much fun watching the season unfold would it?
August 26th, 2010
2:24 pm
I believe the key will be the QB. If we can get through two very tough games with Arkansas and South Carolina, we should have a very good, if not great season. It takes alot of things going your way to win all of it.

Thank goodness for the tune up game starting off. Who scheduled last year opening up in Stillwater? Should have been fired…unless he already has been.

2:28 pm
That sounds fine, Coach. Now let's keep our damn mouths shut and go out on the field and PROVE it!
August 26th, 2010
2:29 pm
What I take from this is that he is actually giving us a glimpse of his expectations. In years past, he would use coach-speak before the season started and it was hard to tell what his expectations were. At least this year, he is revealing some enthusiasm about the direction of the team. I'm not sure someone on the "hot seat" would want to fan the flame if he knew people may be disappointed in the product they put on the field.
I believe the new defensive staff will ignite some of the fire that the prior defensive regime was lacking since BVG left. At least I hope so. In reading what the players are saying, they are excited, which gets me excited.
Go Dawgs!
August 26th, 2010
2:29 pm
Hoping for a great year. I graduated there in 1983 and really enjoyed the glory years. I think its time for the new AD to announce that we are moving forward on the indoor practice facility. Do a rush job and have it ready in about 18 months. Anyone know where we stand on that? Are there plans on the board anywhere?

chalkdawg4, if I'm not mistaken, I believe the expansion of the athletic department currently underway is supposed to include an indoor area for some practicing but will not be large enough to be a true "indoor facility" in line with other programs. I think this was supposed to help alleviate the problem in the meantime however. I don't know what their long term plans are. Somebody with knowledge of the situation, please correct me if I'm wrong.
August 26th, 2010
2:37 pm
i think this will be a great year for UGA- everything is in its right place
August 26th, 2010
2:40 pm
With all the money we have our facilities should be 2nd to none. I think the new AD will put his stamp on the program and move it along. I'm sure this is a point other teams bring up to recruits. No excuses to not move forward. In the words of a great american, "GIT HER DONE"
Go Dawgs!!!

He would be a real crappy coach if he came out and said he thought his team would be bad. I do think UGA has a weak enough schedule to at least be slightly better then last year.

This is the best time of the year- everyone is 0-0 and the confidence is high.

News out of Columbia doesn't bode well for SC the first 2 weeks.
SOS could be facing the ultimate "Karma is a biotch scenario".
10 players out the first 2 weeks.
8 others who either start or play lots of minutes.

I would be the next Uga if my a$$ were naturally white. I do the job. They win when I am on the sidelines. I slobber and sweat and lick my a$$ like any number of those in attendance. I am just a pure white a$$ away from glory. The same might be said for the team.

Are you just stupid? Saban may not have had but 1 top 10 finish his first 9 years head coaching cause most of those years were spent at Toledo and Mich. state which has had all of 2 10 win seasons in its entire history(1 of them by Saban).
As to bear bryant having only 1 top 10 finish in his first 10 seasons that may or may not be true. What is true is that he coached at Kentucky where Adolph Rupp is king and bball is king.
Let me know when Richt wins 2 ncs as Saban has done or especially when he has won 6 ncs as bear bryant did.
August 26th, 2010
3:24 pm
I read somewhere that the 2009 Dawgs had a minus 16 turnover rate. Even if every other factor is even (and I believe there's lots of areas of improvement with this year's team) what if this year's rate is zero? What a huge difference that would make. Or if we had a PLUS 5 or 10?
That one stat alone could mean the difference between an also ran season and a legitimate title contender.
August 26th, 2010
3:28 pm
My prediction for the year
Bama vs UGA for the SEC title. Bama wins.
Lsu runs miles
Arkansas is this year's 2009 Ole Miss
Auburn finishes 2nd in the west and gives UGA its only regular season loss.
August 26th, 2010

Man the delusions are non stop. Redshirt freshman qbs don't win 10 games in the sec.
Ga will be lucky to win 9 games. 7-8 is more likely.

counting on a bounce back season with a "jittery" and short QB does not sense make. The best thing to happen to the dogs would be SC losing upwards of 6 to 10 players for living basically rent free at a Columbia hotel…so the dogs may win that game if those players are suspended. If that doesn't happen, an 0-2 SEC start is a real possibility…if that happens, look for the wheels to fall off on the way back to Shreveport.

Paul. CMR is not someone who should be referenced with any great coach. CMR has squandered SO much talent, has made SO many bad calls in games! CMR or his coaches do not adjust during games. Look at the blowouts UGA has received by inferior teams. I am tired of being spanked by Tenn and Kentucky and Vandy. CMR embarassed us by black outs and uniform changes.
CMR does not judge talent very well, He is just not a good fundamental coach.

Six years ago, 1% of the world's population had smartphones. This year, the number will hit 27%. It will continue rising for years to come, but the growth rate in sales is about to start slipping, according to a recent analysis by JPMorgan. This year, shipments will rise 37%. Next year: 17%.

HIGH-END PHONES WILL face two headwinds in coming years. The first is that the saturation level is greatest in markets that can best afford them. It will hit 72% in the U.S. this year, reckons JPMorgan. As manufacturers find fewer first-time smartphone buyers, they will have to rely more on upgrades from existing customers. The second headwind is that the number of pressing reasons for upgrades may dwindle. Displays and cameras already have reached resolutions that satisfy even finicky users. LTE, the high-speed data technology, is driving plenty of upgrades now, but it's now fast enough for video chats and movie streaming, so the next speed jump might not be as necessary. Near-field communications chips may one day allow phones to replace credit cards, but not without much more effort on the part of merchants and payment processors.
That leaves the possibility that smartphone makers will have to increasingly appeal on price as much as on features, which in turn could drive down profit margins. Wall Street predicts that Apple's operating margin will slide to 27% over the next four years, from 35% last year. Long-term investors should do fine. The cash-stuffed company trades at just 10 times projected earnings for its current fiscal year, which runs through September. It has a dividend yield of 2.3% and can afford to double its payment. But in the short term, Apple may face a choice between offering lower-price models to fuel growth or sticking with the high end to preserve margins. "We think the earnings estimates will have to come down," warns William Power, a wireless analyst at Robert W. Baird.
Samsung, at eight times this year's earnings forecast, makes much more than smartphones. But two-thirds of its operating profits come from mobile devices, and its vast manufacturing reach means it makes more of its phone innards in-house than Apple. "It can manage costs proactively," says George Greig, an investment strategist at William Blair. It also has a mix of exposure; it makes high-end phones, but also midrange ones. Growth prospects in the midrange are better, especially in emerging markets, says Power. That means that while Samsung's margins are only about half those of Apple, they also may be less at risk in the near term.
AMONG CHIP MAKERS, Qualcomm sells baseband chips and processors, including lucrative ones that power the latest smartphones, while Broadcom specializes in less-expensive connectivity chips and components for midrange phones. One threat to chip producers is that handset companies might seek cost savings by making more components in-house. If that happens, the costlier chips made by Qualcomm are a bigger target. Broadcom's reputation for aggressive pricing, meanwhile, should help it gain market share as handset makers become more cost-conscious.
Verizon and AT&T have steady cash flows and big dividend yields. But they look fully priced, Verizon at 16 times this year's earnings estimates and AT&T at 14 times. Look instead to Vodafone, which sells for 10 times earnings. It has exposure to Europe, whose economy is recovering more slowly than that of the U.S., but whose smartphone penetration is barely half as high. And it has a 45% stake in Verizon Wireless. The market places no value on that stake, wrote hedge-fund manager David Einhorn in his letter to shareholders last month, and "it wouldn't surprise us if Verizon decided to buy all of VOD to gain full ownership of Verizon Wireless."

Instead, consider OmniVision, a dominant maker of camera chips for phones. Those chips cost only a couple of dollars, low enough to keep most manufacturers from developing their own. And revenue growth is expected to remain at double-digit rates in coming years as camera specs in today's high-end phones eventually make their way to low-end ones. And OmniVision shares go for only 12 times earnings.
Still Smart
These four stocks can outperform even if smartphone adoption slows.
