A rail line that first linked San Francisco to the Sierra foothills in the 1860s is making a comeback…slowly. Volunteers are leading the effort to restore the Placerville and Sacramento Valley Railroad.
- By Bob Moffitt
Listen now:
Thursday, June 02, 2011
Ethan Doty and thirty other volunteers are working to lay new ties and track between Folsom and Shingle Springs.
He is operating the Howard Terminal Engine today because it is big enough to carry the tools, ties, and track down the line to the next section the group will rebuild.
Railroad President Philip Rose says while they rebuild the track to hold the big engines and cars, they are giving tours twice a month on a smaller engine called a Skagit…with plans for a Christmas line using the big engine.
PHILLIP ROSE: "Run Christmas trains on a short two-mile stretch of rejuvenated track this year.. That will create revenue for us to continue to develop the railroad…to improve the railroad."
Rose says they hope to have track laid and trains running to Shingle Springs by 2015…That is the 150th anniversary of the opening of the original line.

Last week I tried to make honey cloud pancakes. It did not go well.
The recipe says to whisk the egg whites until "peaky." I whisked and whisked and whisked and they never got peaky, so I thought the bubbly stuff I had was good enough.
The pancake was fluffy until I put it in the oven, where it collapsed and never recovered. I thought a flat pancake was no problem, but the problem ended up being that it just tasted like eggs. I didn't use eggs to measure the egg whites, I already had some and thought I could just eyeball it. I will not try to do that again.
I'm sure that when you make these correctly, they are delicious. However, I did not, and my results were not delicious.
Tonight I'm trying french bread. I already realized one oops, the recipe calls for instant yeast and I used active dry yeast, so we'll see how that goes. I didn't even know that there were different kinds of yeast until reading through the comments while my dough was (not) rising. Ahwell. The comment says her dough didn't rise either, but that it still worked, the bread was just kind of heavy. I can live with that.
Actually, the bread is really good.

The Colors of Mexico
By: Verena Dalati Salmé
My recent trip to Mexico City was as inspiring as it was relaxing. The locals were friendly, the food was delicious, and the history was rich. Among the art, museums, and regional traditions I experienced, there was one overarching theme I couldn't ignore: COLOR! From painted buildings to artisan creations, unique color palettes were created by ordinary items in brilliant hues.

RACINE -- A graduate of Horlick High School on Sunday, July 16th had a class ring on his hand for the first time in more than 70 years!
William Geertsen lost his class ring while serving during World War II. He was drafted shortly after graduating in 1938, and lost it overseas.
For his 95th birthday, his family and those at his Alma Mater teamed up to replace the ring, and he received it during a surprise birthday party.
"Couldn't believe I lost it. I only had it for about a year, but this is really something from Horlick High School. I really appreciate it," Geertsen said.

His family said the ring reunion almost didn't happen. The first time they heard the story was during an Easter dinner this year! Luckily, officials with the company Jostens heard the story too, and got the custom ring made in just one week!

We had a great Canada Day. It was long, but very enjoyable. It started at 6:15 am (yes, Ethan let us "sleep in"), and we left our house at about 8:30 am to go pick up my dad and my step-mom, as we were all heading out to the Prairie Dog Central Railway to ride on the steam train.
We got to the train station at about 10:20, and it started off a little rocky. The train was coming in, and Ethan was very excited about it...until it blew the whistle to let of steam and rang the bell. He started screaming and crying and wanted to go home. Mike took him inside and they looked out the window while the train did a roll by and I took a video. The SD card in my camera is running out of room, so I only got a partial video of the roll by:
We got on the train, and Ethan didn't seem to mind that part (he didn't connect the rail cars to the steam engine). We almost had to fight for our seats, a large family claimed they were in the right seats, but wouldn't let anyone else look at the tickets, and a porter had to come and settle the dispute (they were in the wrong seats...). Once that drama was over, we sat in our seats and waited for the train to to start rolling.
About 10 minutes into the train ride, Ethan asked where the train went. I told him we were on the train, but he only looked more puzzled. He had a good time looking out the window and waving to the cars that were on the roads. He heard the train whistle a few times and I told him were being pulled the train. I am still not sure if he really understood, he kept giving me puzzled looks.
We got off at Grosse Isle for a 1.5 hour stopover. We had lunch (we brought ours) , and then we checked out the little flea market. Apparently the vendors come and set up specifically for the train, then pack up when the train leaves. There was a little pen with ducks, chickens, geese and turkeys - Ethan climbed up on the step stool and looked over the fence at them. There were bunnies as well. There was also a little tractor pulling barrel cars. it was free (donations accepted). Ethan looked like he might want to go on it, so Mike went with him. He really had fun.
Ethan wasn't scared of the train anymore, and on the way back, he was so tuckered out from the day so far he had a nap. The train ride back was only about 30 minutes, so that's how long Ethan napped for. Back at the station we had a Canada Day cupcake. I shared mine with him (he only had one or two bites), we are still trying to keep him away from store bought cakes because of his getting sick after having any cake from a store.
We went back to Dad and step-mom's for supper. By the time we got there it was 3 pm. We had supper at about 6, and Ethan was pretty loopy by then. He ate massive amounts of blueberries and strawberries. I was getting a little worried about whether he would get sick from that many berries so I took the platter inside so he couldn't get them. We left for home at about 7 and got home around 8. Ethan passed out in the car at around 7:20.
He did end up getting sick the morning - probably from the berries, and maybe a little from the heat - we were outside all day and the high temp was 29 (84 for any non Celsius people). He was fine after an hour or so though.
When we got home I tried to stay up to watch the fireworks, but gave up about 5 minutes before they started. I heard them and wanted to get up and look at them from my window, but I was too tired. There's always next year for the fireworks. All in all we had a good Canada Day.
We are normal, and by that I mean every family has their quirks. This is my family, quirks and all.

Sounds like you guys had a great time. The last picture is really AWESOME :)ReplyDelete
I really like the last picture too. I'm a little sad there are random people in it or it would be a good picture to enlarge. I might do it anyway, looks like I might be able to crop one of them out.ReplyDelete
Sounds like a lot of fun :)ReplyDelete

The first weekend of the year and a whole seven days without Christmas snacks & a daily prosecco, it was time to hit the shops. It's been a rainy weekend but I've been out and about a bit and first stop was the Cowley Road in Oxford for my first snoop of the year.
I love that Cowley Road has lots of independent businesses, I stopped off at the flower shop to get some bits and also spotted this HUGE fruit, which made me giggle.
The Barnardos charity shop has had a move around and I'm sad to say the vintage rail seems to have disappeared and there is definitely a lot less clothing in there. However, I have pointed out before that the shop's vintage rail was not updated too much.
There was this brown and white dress that was always in there. They've moved the entertainment section to the back so there are loads more DVDs and CDs, if that's your thing and the homeware modules are a lot more prominent in the shop. But alas, I will mourn the clothing.
I tried on a leather jacket with a faux shearling collar but it didn't look right on. But I did find a cool vintage sequin top.
For the second time in not so many weeks, I've tried to visit the Sue Ryder vintage shop on Cowley Road but it has been shut. Last time, it said they were on lunch but this time loads of sale posters in the window but no one there..? Another customer and I waited a little bit but no luck. I've managed a charity shop and I'm sure any retailers out there can relate… closing your shop over a Saturday lunch time, not the best idea for your sales.
I decided to visit Reign Vintage instead. I always love their window displays – they are constantly changed up with lots of sumptuous vintage to drool over. And I love that they mix and match snazzy shirts with classic staples. It's a very colour coordinated shop inside and features women's wear, men's and loads of accessories.
Here is a range of vintage pieces I pulled out that I would love in my wardrobe. As it's January, my post-Christmas bank account was not up to much and nothing blew me away. So, I didn't pick anything up but I'm looking forward to more shopping this year and getting my vintage style back on track.
Are there any new shops out there I need to know about – in Oxford, England or online? I'd love to hear about them.
Keep up to date with my daily vintage inspiration on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.

This is a great water park in Tangier, Morocco. It's built into the cliff that overlooks the Bay of Tangier. And other than offering great views and water-slides, the water park provides a welcomed rest from the hustle and bustle of the city and the hot summer days.
Tangier is a unique city situated at the tip of North Africa, just miles from Southern Europe across the Strait of Gibraltar. It doesn't always appear fully African or Arab, because its history as an international city and its proximity to Europe has led it to develop as a multicultural city.
What's another city where you can ride a camel on the beach and take the kids to a water park?

At each visits I had related to the household of Petrika and Totana, his third spouse, whom he had married about six months earlier than. Petrika was a sedate man not less than fifty years previous, with a moustache however no beard, and an extended, straight, although considerably fleshy nostril. He had had youngsters by his two earlier wives, and 4 of them have been within the camp :Stano, along with his spouse Tudora and boy Kirtsho; Turi, along with his
spouse and baby; Kira, then not too long ago married to Bistem, who was a refined-looking youth of seventeen, son of Totana by her late husband Ilia; and an single lady, Bada. To mark their Christianity the lads wore sheepskin Jcalpaks as an alternative of fezes and turbans, however their garments have been in any other case comparable, with some minor variations of braiding, to my disguise, although Turi'szabuna was fabricated from darkish crimson velvet, and his jacket (thalik) had a fur lining. Turi was a sturdy younger fellow of a nice if unenergetic temperament, and never good-looking. He had a fairly however shy little lady, Busa, the one considered one of his 4 youngsters who had lived, and his spouse Gina was a really darkish girl, good-looking and industrious. The better a part of the family work fell to her share. Suitably dressed she would have been lovely, however, owing to her husband's poverty, she had unbecoming garments; a heavy darkish woollenshawl.as an example, over her head as an alternative of a homosexual kerchief, and she or he went with out footwear or stockings. She was, furthermore, remarkably silent: I don't assume we exchanged six sentences through the week I spent together with her folks; and she or he was nearly equally reserved in the direction of her husband's dad and mom.
She didn't smoke within the presence of her father- in-law ; however when he was away, or so occupied as to be unlikely to note, she would take a cigarette from me, unroll it, borrow her mother- in-law's little pipe, and luxuriate in a whiff.
Not like Persians and Arabs, who're pleased with their family tree, the Gypsies resemble the Turks, who thus specific their religion within the equality of all courses of Ottomans, and the democratic Bulgarians, in having no surnames. As some compensation every Gypsy boasts two private names of his personal, one for house and the opposite for official use. Petrika was recognized to the police and different unusual folks as Gyorgi, Totaua as Kostandina, Turi as Todor, and Bistem as Tanasi. When it's essential to outline an individual extra precisely, the identify of his or her father is added within the genitive case, as, for instance, Turi (son) of Petrika, and Totana (daughter) of Shudrila.

Captaintreacherous, the biggest star in harness racing, is the 6-5 favorite for the $635,750 Meadowlands Pace.
He will start from post 5 against nine rivals in the richest race for 3-year-old pacers in the U.S. next Saturday at the Meadowlands Racetrack.
Post positions were drawn Saturday night following the $50,000 Meadowlands Pace elimination.
Captaintreacherous, Twilight Bonfire and Wake Up Peter got byes into the final as the three richest money earners in the field.
The remaining 10 entrants competed for the seven remaining berths. Sunshine Beach won the elimination in 1:48. His connections were given their choice of posts and selected 2. He will be the 3-1 second choice.
Sunshine Beach paced the mile of his life to win The Pace elimination.
George Brennan put the colt on the lead approaching the half mile and the 3-5 favorite took it from there.
The only meaningful challenge came from Odds On Equuleus who was first over and dead game in the stretch. Sunshine Beach held on by a neck for his fifth win in 12 starts for Hudson Standardbred Stable, Conrad Leber and Diane Bertrand.
George Brennan picked up the drive from trainer Mark Steacy.
"Mark said he was lazy and he was very lazy, so I didn't get him on the bit," Brennan said. "I just let him do what he had to do. I watched his race and he came from the back at Mohawk. That just doesn't work here. I knew I had to be up close, not necessarily on the lead, but I wound up there."
Sunshine Beach paid $3.20 to win.
The field in post position order: Odds On Equuleus (4-1), Sunshine Beach (3-1), Resistance Futile (20-1), Twilight Bonfire (8-1), Captaintreacherous (6-5), Sir Cary's Z Tam (30-1), Johny Rock (20-1), Beach Memories (15-1), Wake Up Peter (10-1) and Rockin Amadeus (15-1).
Captaintreacherous is 5 for 5 this season, and 13 for 15 overall with $1.7 million in earnings
The Meadowlands also staged two $50,000 eliminations for the $471,800 William Haughton Memorial for Free-For-All pacers.
Warrawee Needy and Sweet Lou took the eliminations, and the right to select their posts.
Warrawee Needy will have post 2 as the 5-2 favorite following a world-record equaling win. Sweet Lou has post 3 as the 3-1 second choice.
In the Haughton eliminations, the top five made the cut for the final.
Warrawee Needy dazzled, pacing the mile in 1:46 4/5 to equal the fastest mile in the history of the sport set by Holborn Hanover and Somebeachsomewhere.
Racing second-over around the final bend, Warrawee Needy tipped wide turning for home and wore down a very determined Golden Receiver by 1 1-4 lengths.
"I was just looking for a trip," said Jody Jamieson who drove for his dad Carl. "The horse showed week in, week out that, off a helmet, he can be vicious. He proved again tonight how great he is."
The 4-year-old got his 19th win in 40 starts, and became the sport's newest millionaire. He is owned by Dr. Michael Wilson, Thomas Kyron, Floyd Marshall and Carl Jamieson. He paid $4.80 to win as the 7-5 favorite.
The Ron Burke-trained entry of Foiled Again (third) and Hugadragon (fifth) also advanced to the final, along with fourth-place finisher Razzle Dazzle.
Sweet Lou won the other elimination in 1:48 4/5 to give Burke three entrants in the Haughton final.
It was a game bounce-back effort for the 4-year-old after some subpar efforts.
He was back with a vengeance, grinding first over to wear down Pet Rock by a neck in a 25 3/5 quarter with Yannick Gingras at the lines.
"I was confident in my horse," Gingras said. "The goal was obviously to win the race and make the final. At the top of the stretch I wasn't sure I could outsprint Pet Rock. All the way around he felt really strong. He was just waiting for me to call on him."
Gingras has a tough decision to make. Will he drive elimination winner Sweet Lou or the richest pacer in the sports history, Foiled Again?
Closing in on $2 million in career earnings, Sweet Lou won for the 20th time in 39 starts for Burke Racing, Weaver Bruscemi, Lawrence Karr and Philip Collura.
Bolt The Duer, trapped in for much of the stretch drive, was third followed by Up The Credit and Aracache Hanover.
In the third draw of the night, I Luv The Nitelife will be the 4-5 favorite from post 2 in the $184,250 Mistletoe Shalee for 3-year-old filly pacers. She has already captured the Fan Hanover and the Lynch Memorial this season.
There were four divisions of New Jersey Sires Stakes for 2-year-old pacers ahead of next weekend's $150,000 finals.
In the colt and gelding divisions, Western Vintage and In The Clear posted wins.
Western Vintage is now 2 for 2 following the 1:52 1/5 score over Sweet Rock with Gingras at the lines for trainer Nancy Johansson.
In The Clear held off Shark Leap Hanover by three-quarters of a length in 1:53 4/5. Andrew McCarthy drove for trainer Aaron Lambert.
In the filly divisions, Rockingcam Park and Fiyonce prevailed.
Rockingcam Park surged past Bolt of Thunder by 2 1-2 lengths to stay perfect at 2 for 2 with Andy Miller the pilot for trainer Ron Coyne, Jr.
Fiyonce edged Ideal Helen, the 1-5 favorite, by a head in 1:52 4/5 with Gingras in the sulky for Burke.
At the betting windows, it was a great Meadowlands Pace Elimination night. Total handle skyrocketed from $1,926,293 in 2012 to $2,813,229 in 2013, for an increase of 46-percent. The Meadowlands continues it's momentum toward its signature weekend. Friday night features the Miss Versatility for the Open Mare Trotters and Saturday features the most loaded Meadowlands Pace card in recent memory. That program includes The Meadowlands Pace, William Haughton Memorial, Mistletoe Shalee, Stanley Dancer Memorial, Del Miller Memorial and four Two Year Old New Jersey Sire Stakes Championships. Post Time for both Friday and Saturday night is 7:15 P.M.

6. Star Trek Into Darkness - The true Trek purists probably did not like me call J.J. Abrams 2009 reboot, the best Star Trek film ever made, but who the hell cares. It was dammit. Whether the director can recreate that greatness - that boldly going - in this follow-up is still to be determined, but since I think of Abrams as the bast mainstream director working today, my hopes are rather high.
7. Only God Forgives - This is another one of those films that had erroneously been included in last year's list - but this time it looks like we will have ourselves an actual release date. From Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling, the director and star of 2011's brilliantly subversive psychological actioner, Drive, comes what looks to be another balls-out action/thriller, mindfuck of a movie. Every damn thing about this film excites me.
8. I'm So Excited - Spanish auteur Pedro Almadóvar has described his nineteenth film as a very light comedy, so we may not get the depth of things like Talk to Her or The Skin I Live In, but it is still Almadóvar, so it should be muy hermosa. See what I did there. I threw in some Spanish, so I would appear international and sophisticated. I'm cool like dat. Seriously though, the film should be quite fun indeed.

A chaotic city with so many districts can seem overwhelming at first, but we stuck to our lane (that being St Germain des Près) and had an a rather eye-opening and educational time. I think everyone wants to love Paris, everyone wants to feel the magical of this crazy historical city; and while it's charm, and ancient heritage wormed it's way into our hearts… I could not help to feel a touch relieved once we left. Don't get me wrong it was powerful, bustling, classical and modern all rolled up into one, but for a small city girl from Cape Town it was a slight sensory overload. I think my low-lying claustrophobia may have been heightened due to the sheer number of people in the city for summer, filled to the brim of young-somethings clutching for a life in the the light. Personally I don't feel like I know this vast space well enough to give you any 'hot spots' but I was lucky enough to receive so many amazing recommendations from friends that we got to try out some stellar spots!
In terms of a French update, people are way kinder than they are made out to be, with French locals helping us while we stared blankly at the metro maps. We also got let in on a widely key secret…. the croissants most Boulangeries sell in Paris come frozen from a huge French supplier. So if you are looking for that quality crisp make sure to try a stand alone bakery or one just out of the city. We also learnt that traditionally Boulangeries make bread, so if your Boulangerie has both bread and sweet desserts, cakes and macarons then they are bought in. And the same goes for the Patisserie which traditionally makes the sugary cakes and dessert-type things so if they have bread in the store it's bought in and not made in the back. There is no need to be snobby as it all does taste great.. but if you are after that authentic Fresh flavour best you head out of the city to a smaller more quaint environment. We ate super well, with my stand out dish being boef aux carottes (usually made only at home, but we stumbled across it at a restaurant one evening) and all the French fries of my dreams. They also are big on fresh fruit in the streets, so we had a box of cherries with us always! If I can recommedn anything.. lets go with an umbrella. The weather is more temperamental then Joburg during the summer, be prepared else you end up like a hobo under a tiny shelter with 25 panicked Asians waiting for the rain the stop.
One of our most treasured experiences in Paris was definitely the Picasso museum, a true ode to his work and life. Also the building that houses the permanent exhibition was so beautiful and we wondered around for ages. So much to see and so much do, but for us Paris was a stop over before the south of France. So until next time jusqu'à la prochaine fois.

Formula 1 News - March, 2009
Mar.31 (GMM) Two of the most prominent figures of the FOTA team alliance are at loggerheads over the 'rear diffuser' saga.Despite other chiefs of the Formula One Teams Association insisting that on-track issues are separate to FOTA's totally unified efforts, Renault boss Flavio Briatore could not hide his anger at Ross Brawn last weekend.Briatore chairs FOTA's commercial aspect, while Brawn is in charge of technical matters.Toyota is also tangled up in the diffuser saga, as one of the teams being protested against, and its president John Howett is the FOTA vice-chairman."I don't like the behaviour of the FOTA technical delegate (Brawn), who should have reported this thing immediately," Briatore told the Italian media."Brawn should have been fair. Three months ago he should have come to us to tell us there are two interpretations over the diffusers. When I go to the FIA or to Ecclestone, I go in the name of the FOTA, not Renault's."I don't like the fact that a FOTA representative didn't relate things transparently," he added.Brawn dismissed Briatore's comments as overly emotional, but it is clear the row is playing into the hands of F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA, who see FOTA's unity as a threat to their power."Can I put something in your mind?" Bernie told the Times newspaper prior to the season opener last week."Ross Brawn is the guy that runs the teams' technical committee and probably knows what's going to happen before other people, or is in a position to guide things. There's a massive conflict of interest," the Briton said.

Hey look people, the sun's coming up! It's not the apocalypse after all!
Last night, on April 17, 2013, New Zealand became the 13th country to legalise gay marriage, and the first to do so in the Asia Pacific region.
"Two-thirds of parliament have endorsed marriage equality," said Louisa Wall, a gay opposition Labour party MP who campaigned in favour of the bill. "It shows that we are building on our human rights as a country."
Possibly the highlight of the 2 hour proceedings was a speech by Green Party MP Mojo Mathers, talking about the "beautiful rainbow thread" that has woven itself through both sides of her family. She talks about her own daughter now finally being able to have the same rights as her sister, and the pride she holds for her gay daughter.
Louisa Wall, you are a legend. Thank you.
Watch New Zealand parliament break into song following the vote.
Australia: Get with the programme.
Family First: Sit on it.

"I have only been able to achieve what I have managed to achieve through the help and support of other people; including the hard work of all our frontline health and social staff who spend every day caring for and supporting the most vulnerable in our society.
"It's the frontline staff I would like to thank for their tremendous work."

Finding Support
I threw myself into learning all about Asperger's Syndrome and how it fit under the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) umbrella. I took him to his appointments with occupational therapists, speech therapists, behavioral therapists, developmental-behavioral pediatricians, psychiatrists, psychologists, social skills groups, chiropractors, holistic practitioners, and anyone else I thought could help him reach his full potential and be comfortable with himself.
What I didn't do, in those early years, was figure out how to support myself. I was very busy working, taking care of a home, being a wife and a mom, and trying to encourage and educate everyone around us who did or didn't understand or respect the choices my husband and I were making to help our child. Stress built up and I was, at times, a very overwhelmed and ineffective mom.
It took time to realize that the weight of the constant anxiety, frustration, and hypervigilance was taking a huge toll on me. I didn't recognize that the stress was breaking me down, both mentally and physically. While I never had a significant breaking point, several factors eventually forced me to face the fact that I was drowning.
I began to seek support from an online support site. I found new doctors and professionals through this support site. We were living in a new place, thousands of miles from the place we'd called home for years. At the time, it felt even more overwhelming to start all over again, yet I eventually realized how fortunate we had been to move to a place that had so many resources in the community. I met my eventual employers and friends, who had a son very much like mine, through the site. I didn't feel alone anymore.
My son began attending a new social skills group, and I became close to one parent whose child was in the group with my son. She and I quickly bonded. I met two more wonderful friends, also with sons like mine, through our taekwondo school. We initially found common bonds in our children and in our similar views on raising amazing children on the autism spectrum. There are days when these women are my lifeline. Aside from my husband, they are the ones who most truly understand our short-term struggles and our long-term concerns.
I became involved with other families through my role as a group facilitator for young adults with Asperger's and through another social club for tweens and teens on the autism spectrum. I found another parent support group recently that fills my need and desire to explore the positive side of parenting children on the autism spectrum while also allowing me to vent when I am frustrated with the new experience of having a teenage son with Asperger's. I still feel stress and worry. We deal with two steps forward, one step backward, all the time. But I am far from alone, far from isolated. I have an amazing village of people who help me thrive, even when I am feeling overwhelmed.
For any parent who is living with ASD in their family, I encourage you to reach out to your child's school, therapists, and doctors. Seek online and local autism community resources and look for social opportunities to interact with other families who empathize with your struggles and celebrate your milestones... there are not a lot of people who can truly appreciate the AMAZING pride you feel when your daughter will wear a shirt that has long sleeves or when your son finally swallows mashed potatoes and doesn't vomit. Parenting a child with ASD can be challenging and stressful, but it does not need to be isolating.

Author Notes: This is a great recipe for summer grilling and garlic lovers that I've modified from one my mother gave me years ago. Tips: Since the ingredients are very simple, the key to this recipe's success is an adequate grasp technique and including quality produce. I would probably not recommend this to beginner cooks, but have included some preliminary steps, just in case. Also, if you are looking to shave down the prep times, please note that many of the steps can be done simultaneously. Lastly, if you want to make the flavors of the vegetables pop, just add a little salt. —VictoriousLIU
Serves: 4
Preparing Zucchini and Bruschetta
Entire head of garlic
Medium zucchini
Medium yellow squash, same size as zucchini
cloves of raw garlic, minced
tablespoons Good virgin olive oil
tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
teaspoon Brown or unrefined sugar
tablespoons shredded basil leaves
Medium vine tomatoes, blanched, peeled, and de-seeded
Salt and pepper to taste
Assembly and Grilling
Day-old french loaf or 8 1-inch thick slices
ounces Fresh mozzarella, cut into 8 even slices
tablespoon Butter, at room temperature
Preparing Zucchini and Bruschetta
- Roasting the garlic: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop off the top 1/2 inch of an entire head of garlic so that the top of each clove has been cut off and is exposed.
- Roasting the garlic: Rub/brush on 1/2 tablespoon (or as much as you see fit) of the good olive oil around and into the top of the now severed clove, making sure to soak the various nooks and crannies. Place in the preheated oven, wrapped in foil, cut side up and exposed, for 20 minutes or until the garlic is caramelized and spreadable. Sometimes, it's nice to roast several heads at once and make a spread to use throughout the week.
- Roasting the garlic: Once the roasted garlic is ready, crack/peel apart the head and squeeze out the inside clove from the root to the open end (kind of like toothpaste). Collect the mushy innards and set aside.
- Make the marinade: Wash and slice the zucchini and yellow squash at an angle to form large, 1/4-1/2 inch slices. In a large bowl, whisk the balsamic vinegar, the rest of the olive oil, the sugar, the minced garlic together and salt and pepper, briefly. Place the squash slices into the mixture and coat evenly and set aside.
- Grilling Zucchini: As you are preparing/chopping the ingredients in the next step, let the marinade sit and turn on the grill to let it heat up. The marinade does not need more than 20-30 minutes to soak. Once the grill has been even heated at a medium-high flame, place the squash directly onto the grill, cooking 3-4 minutes on each side. Set the cooked squash aside.
- Make the bruschetta: Chop the blanched, peeled, and deseeded tomatoes into 1/4-1/2 inch chunks or do the same with canned, whole tomatoes and lightly drain excess moisture. To shred the basil leaves, roll 3-4 leaves lengthwise so that the leaves form a tube and then chop along the length of the tube, making cuts as thin as possible. Add the shredded leaves to the chopped tomatoes. Add 1 1/2-2 tablespoons of the zucchini marinade liquid to your tomatoes and basil (try to avoid letting pieces of the minced garlic get into your spoonful). Toss the three ingredients together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Assembly and Grilling
- Prepare bread: Slice the french bread at an angle to form 8, 1-inch thick slices. Thinly spread the butter on both sides of each slice and place on grill. Grill each side of the bread for 2 minutes on each side at medium heat. Take the bread off the grill when done and set aside.
- Assemble: For each slice of bread, spread an even layer of roasted garlic, dividing the amount evenly per slice. Then place one slice each of the grilled yellow squash and zucchini on top. Gently spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the bruschetta, lightly drained, onto the zucchini. Take . Place a mozzarella slice on top. Place each assembled slice into the grill at medium heat, close the grill and let sit for approximately 3-4 minutes or until the bottoms are crunchy and the mozzarella is melted. Serve immediately.

Chris Gayle and Dwayne Smith registered half centuries as the West Indies coasted to a nine-wicket victory over New Zealand in a rain-shortened first One-Day International at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, on Thursday.
Rain intervened when the West Indies, chasing New Zealand's total of 190-9 off 50 overs, were cruising at 93 for 1 from 18 overs.
But the hosts returned and chased down the revised target of 136 off 33 overs with 8.4 overs to spare.
Opener Gayle was unbeaten on 63 off 57 balls. His third successive half century, following two in the Twenty20 internationals last weekend, included three fours and five sixes.
Smith top-scored with an unbeaten 65 off 77 deliveries, inclusive of six fours and three sixes.
The pair shared an unfinished second-wicket stand of 130 off just 128 balls as the hosts triumphed with 52 balls remaining.
Earlier, Andre Russell, who was later adjudged man of the match, finished with four wickets for 45 runs from ten overs as the Black Caps were restricted to 190 for 9 in 50 overs.
Wicketkeeper B J Watling (60) and Jacob Oram (32) were the only notable contributors to New Zealand's meagre total.

Red Hugh's too strong for Naomh Padraig
It was all very comfortable for Red Hugh's in this Junior A Championship clash with Naomh Padraig, Lifford, at the Cross, Killygordon on Saturday night.
Red Hugh's . . . . . . . . . 2-22
N Padraig (Lifford) . . 1-6
Of the 24 scores - all but two points from frees - there were nine different scorers in a polished performance that must have pleased manager Seosamh McKelvey no end.
But despite the 19 point winning margin, the win must carry a health warning.
Naomh Padraig were well below their best and were short a number of key players to injury and other commitments and are really struggling this season.
Nevertheless, no matter what way you look at it this was a good performance from a well organised outfit with quality footballers right through the team.
Gerard Melaugh and Damien Browne gave them a solid platform at midfield with the energetic Melaugh the playmaker in the engine room.
Sean Sweeney at full-back was the rock on which a solid defence was built.
Calvin Bradley led the attack in the number 11 shirt and was flanked by Odhran Doherty and Colm Melaugh who between them accounted for seven of their points and linked well over the 60 minutes.
Pauric McMenamin proved a good target man on the edge of the square and also roamed at times and won a good deal of possession away from the goals and used it well.
Red Hugh's led 1-10 to 0-3 at half-time and after getting off to a lively start and scoring a goal and three points in the opening six minutes.
Damien Browne, who ended the game with 1-6, scored the goal on three minutes after good work and an inch perfect pass from P J Gallagher. Odhran Doherty and Browne posted the early points as the locals laid siege on the Naomh Padraig posts.
They had added a further five points from Doherty, Gerard Melaugh, Colm Melaugh, James Carlin and Browne, before Darren Gillespie raised Naomh Padraig's first white flag on 20 minutes.
Gillespie split the posts after a good run and pass from Kevin Lynch, Lifford's best player by a good stretch.
After being under the cosh for much of the half, to their credit Naomh Padraig, mainly through the work and industry of Lynch, Gillespie, Paul Lynch and Paul Grant, enjoyed a good spell and matched the locals on the scoreboard in the closing ten minutes of the half thanks to points from Keenan Gallagher and Grant. Cathal Gallagher and Calvin Bradley scored the Red Hugh points.
Colm Melaugh and Gillespie traded early points on the resumption before Red Hugh's took control again and reeled off 1-6 without response by the end of the third quarter.
Bradley struck for the second goal on 45 minutes after a penetrating run from deep by Cathal Doherty and pass from Pauric McMenamin for a 2-17 to 0-4 lead.
Minutes earlier Bradley was denied from the penalty spot by a brilliant full stretch save from Sean McBrearty in the Naomh Padraig goals.
This was a number of good saves made by McBrearty, who had a fine game, a feature of which was his pinpoint kickouts - one of the best I have seen in club football in a long time.
With the game as a contest long over Browne and Gillespie exchanged points and Donal Grant hit 1-1 before James Carlin, P J Gallagher and Browne rounded off the scoring for a comfortable win and a place in the last eight of the championship for Red Hugh's.
Red Hugh's: Ciaran Kelly; Shane McGlinchey, Sean Sweeney, Dylan Irwin; Alfie Mullan, Odhran Doherty (0-4), Cathal Doherty (0-1); Gerard Melaugh (0-2), Damien Browne (1-6,2f); P J Gallagher (0-1), Calvin Bradley (1-2), Colm Melaugh (0-3); James Carlin (0-2), Pauric McMenamin (0-1), David Gallen.
Naomh Padraig: Sean McBrearty; Micheál Ferry, John Lafferty, Pauric Brennan; Keenan Gallagher, Johnny Mahon, Conor Mulhern; Paul Lynch, Paul Given; Kevin Lynch, Damien Tourish, Jack Mahon; Darren Gillespie (0-3,1f), Donal Grant (1-1), Jeffrey Crawford. Sub., Aaron Vanbeck for C Mulhern (black), 27.

Only a few years ago, the central wholesale photofinishing lab faced an uncertain future. The daily volume of film and film-based prints, increasingly replaced by digital files, dropped precipitously. Utilization of these huge facilities became unviable-in the U.S. alone, the number of wholesale labs in operation fell from 95 in 2001 to fewer than 30 in 2006.
Fortunately, this transition is largely a thing of the past. Centralized labs are still adapting to a digital world-trying to keep film processor chemistry in balance with today's volumes, and making good decisions about upgrading their digital minilabs. But the big labs are facing a much brighter future. Consumer prints have returned as the growth in digital has surpassed the decline in film. And new systems required to optimize digital workflow are now available.
So, once again, centralized photofinishing offers a viable option for meeting the demands of the marketplace. The latest systems now feature high-volume productivity, such as Imaging Solutions' widePrint printer, outputting 6,000 8x12 prints/hour-yet can operate profitably at considerably lower volumes. The cost of these systems is no more than the cost of a few minilabs, but the economics of operation are substantially less on a per-print basis.
And since these new systems incorporate all the essentials for functioning in a digital world, they accept digital files directly over the internet; create photobooks, calendar pages, and other high-margin digital output "in line;" and support a total digital workflow. They represent a highly flexible production system that allows large photofinishers to serve a client base as diverse as photo studios, retailers, and photo-sharing websites.
"Centralized print processing, which some had pronounced dead only a couple of years ago, has a new lease on life," says Don Franz, editor/publisher of Photo Imaging News. "With the new growth in photo prints and value-added picture products, the central photofinishing lab has regained its raison d'etre. If they can automate the production of personal photo products by harnessing digital technologies and workflows, they'll become more valuable to their former photo retailer clients, and also attract interest from new players such as the online photo services businesses whose contact with customers is completely via the web."
So the hunt is on for digital workflows as efficient as film-based ones, and that deliver all the new possibilities digital imaging promises. Ideally, labs would be able to digitally integrate cutting and packing into their internal batch management and data processing systems. Connecting the finishing segment of the production process-where images, information, and the customer envelope come together-to the front end has become the linchpin of an efficient and productive digital workflow.
But wholesale labs aren't the only ones grappling with this situation. It's prompted systems providers to take steps-even reinventing themselves-to deliver those solutions. One is Imaging Postprocessing Solutions GmbH (IPS), formed in May 2007 from the blending of Swiss photofinishing specialist Imaging Solutions and Spitzke KG, a German manufacturer of cutting, sorting, and packing equipment.
The addition of IPS to the Imaging Solutions family, according to Rainer Bauer, CEO of parent Imaging Solutions, "enables us to offer central labs a complete workflow solution-order receipt, image processing and printing, right through to cutting and packaging." IPS has done so at CeWe Color, in Europe.
CeWe Color's challenge was typical: develop a digital workflow as fast, effortless, and operator-friendly as its film-based workflow. Dr. Reiner Fageth, in charge of CeWe Color's R&D, says its total solution from IPS was as simple as designing an order envelope that can accommodate a variety of print formats, and as innovative as integrating a multiformat cutter into its batch management and data flows.
"With the mounting importance of digital photography, we had to find new solutions for automatic cutting and packing, because digital orders now not only are bigger than analog orders in terms of the number of prints-they frequently contain several different print formats," Fageth says. "On top of that, digital orders arrive�over the internet without an order envelope." Fageth notes that they've come up with some creative solutions.
District Photo in Beltsville, MD, the largest single photofinishing plant in the U.S., recently installed an IPS system. Of immediate concern was the efficient handling of the rapidly growing volume of greeting cards. "The pair of custom-designed systems from IPS that we installed will boost productivity for us and improve service levels for our customers in this high-demand seasonal product category that's very important to our business," says Neil Cohen, president, District Photo.
Bauer says a high level of system customization is usually necessary to meet the requirements of each lab. But a total solution will incorporate similar components-process control software, batch management systems, sophisticated cutters and packaging devices, a PDF server, and other assets. Most, if not all, labs already have some components in place, he notes.
"It's the integration and versatility of the finishing steps, and linking finishing to the order at the front end, where the big efficiencies are to be gained," Bauer says. "When that's achieved, the lab is truly in the digital age. High-speed integrated centralized production systems have become a truly competitive alternative to on-site production by minilab chains, photo specialty stores, and online photofinishers, as well as wholesale photofinishing production companies. I think we can say with confidence that the central photofinishing lab is in a position to have great influence again in this industry."

An exercise in disinformation: linking Kurds to NKR
News analysis by Yelena Osipova and Emil Sanamyan
WASHINGTON – Turkish and Azerbaijani officials have frequently sought to link Armenians to the Kurdish resistance in Turkey, typically referred to as the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). But they have provided little to no evidence to substantiate such linkages.
These allegations made a comeback between last October and earlier this year at a fairly high level and with all the hallmarks of an organized disinformation campaign.
This analysis seeks to deconstruct the chronology of this effort aimed against Armenia.
Allegations linking Armenia to Kurdish political activism in Turkey are not new. Azerbaijan's motivation for this is to win and maintain Turkey's support and to position itself as fighting a "common enemy" in Karabakh.
Turkish nationalists, in turn, seek to portray the PKK as a non-Muslim and even anti-Muslim entity, appealing to religious and ethnic biases in the fight for the hearts and minds of Turkey's Kurdish population.
In the early 1990s, frequent Turkish claims that Armenia provides support to PKK also helped build up an excuse for Turkey's potential intervention in the Karabakh war on the side of the losing forces of Azerbaijan.
At one point in 1992, that campaign was inadvertently facilitated by Armenia's own propaganda, which suggested, falsely, that the mostly ethnically Kurdish population
of areas between Karabakh and Armenia proper welcomed Armenian forces as liberators. (Yezidi Kurds from Armenia proper were even reported to have been bused to Lachin for that purpose.)
In fact, by the 20th century, most of Azerbaijan's ethnically Kurdish population was thoroughly Turkified and they now mostly self- identify as Azerbaijanis.
Azerbaijan's ethnic Kurds reportedly include such well-known characters as Azerbaijan's late national leader Heydar Aliyev, as well as wartime chief of national police and local Grey Wolves franchise Iskender Hamidov, who famously promised to wipe out Yerevan and Stepanakert with two nuclear strikes.
First salvos
In August 2007, Yusuf Halacoğlu, head of the Turkish Historical Society, ultranationalist and Armenian Genocide denier, announced that his studies on the origins of Anatolian tribes showed many Kurds, particularly Kurdish Alevis, were originally Armenian.
As events unfolded, Mr. Halacoğlu's comment appeared to have been motivated primarily by politics.
In an interview with Uluslararası Haber Dergisi in October 2007, Mr. Halacoğlu said many "people" who think they are Kurds may be mistaken, and the case is the same with "the terrorist groups who tried to be identified as Kurdish Alevis or Kurds."
(Incidentally, after 15 years at the helm of Turkish official historiography, Mr. Halacoğlu was replaced by the Turkish government this week.)
Somewhat unexpectedly, this line of reasoning was reflected in the remarks made by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey during an official visit to the United States in early November 2007.
After being questioned by an Armenian Embassy staff member on Turkey's Armenia policy in a public meeting hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Mr. Erdoğan demurred on the need to distinguish the terrorists from the Kurdish population at large, saying, "In the terrorist organization [PKK], there are Kurds, Armenians, others." (He said this even though no ethnic Armenian member of the PKK was ever identified dead or alive, at least in the last decade.)
More importantly, during his visit, Mr. Erdoğan and Turkey's friends in the U.S. government, succeeded in having President George W. Bush declare the PKK to be America's enemy.
"They are an enemy of Turkey, they are an enemy of Iraq, and they are an enemy of the United States," Mr. Bush declared that November, while also authorizing U.S. forces in Iraq to assist Turkey in their attacks against the PKK in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Azerbaijan jumps in
On November 30 Zaman, a newspaper close to the Turkish government, quoted the heretofore unknown Federation of Turkish-Azeri Associations' Secretary General Mehmet Azeriturk as claiming, "Armenia is making an effort to bring PKK militants into the cities of Şuşa [Shushi], Lacin [Berdzor] and Fuzuli, to be able to keep these cities it has occupied."
No reference was made as to where Mr. Azeriturk acquired that information. The Zaman article also said that Armenian officials have denied any such contacts with the PKK.
But just days later, Azerbaijan's deputy foreign minister Araz Azimov, apparently citing the "Zaman report," declared that Azerbaijan is ready to perform "counter-terrorist" operations against PKK military units "positioned" in Karabakh.
Azerbaijan's Zerkalo reported Mr. Azimov saying that the PKK's presence in the occupied territories "shows the international community that we were right in our earlier statements [making the link between the PKK and Karabakh]."
Armenians had always had a penchant for terrorists, he added.
The international echo
On December 11 the Azerbaijani allegations were promoted by the Russian journalist Aleksei Baliev. Writing for RPMonitor.ru, an online political journal, he compared "the Lachin corridor" linking Armenia and Karabakh to "Iraqi Kurdistan" as a safe haven for the PKK.
An Armenian Yezidi community leader Aziz Tamoyan had, earlier in December, endorsed the presidential candidacy of then-Prime Minister Serge Sargsian. Mr. Baliev linked this endorsement to Kurdish hopes for Armenia's support for establishing "a Kurdish autonomy" in areas between Karabakh and Armenia proper.
(Although Mr. Tamoyan's endorsement came in a joint press community leader, Rimma Varzhapetian, who also backed Mr. Sargsian, Mr. Baliyev did not suggest that the Jews of Armenia were also hoping to establish themselves in Lachin.)
The nonsensical nature of the argument did not stop Paul Goble, a former U.S. official now employed as research director for the Azerbaijani Academy of Diplomacy, from indirectly endorsing the claim in his personal blog the next day, suggesting that "the Kurdish initiative in Armenia provides those opposed to any settlement [over Karabakh] with yet another means to block it."
By December 20, the Azerbaijani government allegations were presented as fact by Anar Valiev, a fellow at the Masaryk University in the Czech Republic and apparently a native of Azerbaijan.
The PKK's (supposed) decision to move to Karabakh, Mr. Valiev stated in the December 20 issue of Global Terrorism Analysis, published by the Washington-based Jamestown Foundation, is "rational, well thought-out and could benefit both sides."
Mr. Valiev went on to suggest that Turkey would never "chase" the PKK in Nagorno-Karabakh out of fear that any such action would come to involve several other states, upsetting the fragile balance in the region.
For Armenians, on the other hand, harboring the PKK would help to bolster the region's population and provide "hundreds – if not thousands – of experienced guerilla fighters."
Mr. Valiev cited Mr. Baliev's commentary as one of his sources.
Israeli and American spillover...
In January 2008, an unofficial and frequently inaccurate Israeli source, DEBKAfile, alleged that PKK leaders had started "acting on a decision they had reached in November to move their bases from the Qandil Mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan to the predominantly ethnic Armenian South Caucasian region of Nagorno- Karabakh."
The online publication said it got the information from its "sources [that] have picked up rumors," which were also supported by "PKK defectors who turned themselves in to Turkish forces."
DEBKAfile added that no transfer of the Kurdish bases had been confirmed as of January 28. However, it also said that a group of PKK chiefs were reported to have visited Kurdish villages in Karabakh looking for support. (No such villages in fact exist in Karabakh.)
A sort of a culmination of the campaign occurred in February 2008, when Mr. Azimov met with visiting U.S. State Department coordinator on terrorism Frank Urbanic (whom Azerbaijani media renamed "Urbanchik").
Mr. Azimov told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) after the meeting that the PKK was the main focus of their talks. He expressed concern over the "PKK building 'close relations' with 'terrorist groups and organizations' that are enemies of both Turkey and Azerbaijan – a remark seen in Baku as a reference to Armenia or ethnic-Armenian forces," RFE/RL reported.
A public affairs officer at the U.S. Embassy in Baku was quoted as saying that the United States is "increasingly concerned about what appears to be growing ties between the PKK and other groups in the Caucasus" and the "threat the PKK poses to energy infrastructure in the [region]."
But the annual State Department report on terrorism issued on April 30 did not contain references to Azerbaijani allegations.
These remarks were followed by several articles on the subject in the Turkish media. The Journal of Turkish Weekly, an online publication of the Turkish lobby in the United States, wrote, "It is reported that the Karabakh authorities provide a safe haven for international terrorism."
The Journal, citing suspect sources, claimed that 56 PKK members had settled in Karabakh and that "terror camps" were established in the region. The Journal went on to claim that the Israeli intelligence organization Mossad "had warned Turkey and Azerbaijan about the PKK movements."
…and denials
Contacted by the Armenian Reporter this week, Ehud Gol, Israel's ambassador to Armenia, dismissed these reports as "a baseless story."
He said he had no knowledge of the matter and viewed it as a bad piece of journalism with no credible sources.
Mr. Gol added that because of this, Israel had not issued any formal denial, adding, "We do not have any reason to believe [these reports are] true."
While the United States did not formally endorse Azerbaijani or Turkish allegations, signs of interest on the part of at least some U.S. officials can be seen in the State Department's award of a fellowship grant to Dr. Mark Yoffe to study the Yezidi Kurdish community in Armenia in September 2007.
"The U.S. Embassy in Armenia was interested in all aspects of Yezidi Kurdish life," Dr. Yoffe told the Reporter in July. Asked about whether the Armenian state plays any role in Kurdish political activism, Dr. Yoffe said, "There are issues that might or might not involve Yezidi Kurds. However, my research does not show that Armenians are involved in them in any way."
Dr. Yoffe, a specialist in Slavic languages at the George Washington University, held a presentation of his findings last February, noting that rather than serving as a potential connection to the PKK, Yezidi Kurds in Armenia "spoke badly" about Turkish Kurd emissaries who occasionally visited their villages, because "for Yezidis, Kurds are synonymous with Muslims and this is often given as a reason for antipathy."
Dr. Yoffe was told that despite the emissaries' attempts "to recruit Yezidis into their armed struggle or raise funds for their causes," the Yezidis asked them to leave the villages, after which they stopped coming.
What it all means
"Pursuit of 'terrorists' or the presence of terrorists in a given territory has been used as pretext by states around the world for military operations," Hratch Tchilingirian of the University of Cambridge told the Armenian Reporter via e-mail.
Indeed, while constantly threatening a new war in Karabakh, Azerbaijan is increasingly at a loss when it comes to providing contemporary reasons for its acrimony, with wartime grievances steadily shifting into the historical realm.
In the absence of aggressive behavior by the Armenian side, Azerbaijan has sought to invent it, coming up with baseless allegations – on subjects ranging from the environment to crime to security – that are designed to win international sympathy.
At the same time, Azerbaijan has worked to keep international access to Karabakh as restricted as it possibly can – a difficult task in an increasingly transparent and interconnected world.
Nevertheless, with the Caucasus as remote as it is, Azerbaijan frequently succeeds in having its disinformation published by reputable media and even in foreign government publications such as the many annual reports that the State Department is mandated to release.
In a drawn-out public relations war such small bureaucratic coups too can serve as small victories.
Writing on May 27 in the Soros Foundation–funded Eurasianet. org, Stephen Blank, a commentator on regional affairs who teaches at the U.S. Army War College in Pennsylvania, suggested, "The mere fact that Turkish and Azerbaijani media outlets are complaining about a Kurdish militant presence in Karabakh should spur the international community to action [on Karabakh]," he said, calling for "redoubled efforts" on the resolution of the Karabakh issue, in order to "eliminate, or at least greatly diminish the chances" of any aggressive developments.
While stressing that the allegation linking the PKK to Karabakh is unsubstantiated, Dr. Tchilingirian agreed that "for Azerbaijan it could serve as a pretext to test military operations in the Karabakh region in the name of 'rooting out terrorists' that pose a threat to Turkey."
In this case, Azerbaijan attempted to piggy-back on America's support for Turkey's fight against the PKK, but it once again failed to win outright Turkish government support for the effort.
When contacted this week, the Azerbaijani Embassy in Washington refused to comment on the matter.
The "Kurdish" campaign appeared to have come to an abrupt end, or at least an extended intermission in late February – early March.
It is unclear if that had something to do with Armenia's presidential elections and subsequent domestic developments in both Armenia and Turkey; or, more modestly, with completion of prepublication research for the State Department's terrorism report.

I was looking to join 2 styles together to make a super style for easy use and customisation of my page.
Is it possible to define something like this?
.bold { font-weight: bold;}
.color1 {color: white;}
.boldColor {.bold; .color1;}
where .boldColor is effectively
.boldColor {font-weight:bold; color:white;}
I want this so that I can have styles thoughout the page and be able to easily change the colors in many places in 1 place. I'm currently using

 but some of my class defs are becoming long.
4 answers
CSS does not support such combination.
I think that you are setting yourself up to fail here, and completely missing out on the efficiency gains to be had from css.
For example, say your class .bold ends up being applied to three different sets of elements. (let's say, pullquotes, story intros and current page links). Now the client wants to make all the pullquotes italic rather than bold. You can't just change the properties of .bold in the stylesheet, because that would also change the intros and selflinks. Instead you would have to go through and change the classname on every occurrence in a pullquote in the HTML. That could be hundreds of edits.
However, if you name your elements semantically, e.g.

blah

blah

Ordering
Then you have complete independent control over each set of elements. Modifying the design becomes a doddle and your stylesheet is easily managed.
- I wanted to name each element semantically, but instead of having to define the same color many times in a page, I wanted to have define the color just once, to make it easy to change. Besides find-replace would simplify any mass renaming. I dont think you really saw what I was after. Because for your example i could just remove the .bold from the joined pullquote and add in the italic in the css. (if this was possible of course)
You can't combine css styles like you asked. You can, however, apply more than one class per element. The class field is in fact a space-separated list of classes you want to apply.
For example:
.postit { background-color: #EEEE99; }
.priority { font-style: bold; color: red; }

I'm just a normal post-it note

Look at me! I'm more important than that other post-it!

There's no limit to how many classes you can apply to an element, but obviously try to be sensible and try to avoid going over 3 per element. Additionally, this doesn't work properly in IE6 (surprise surprise) which as far as I remember will only apply the first and last class in the list.
answered on stack overflow
You can achieve this using Sass, which has its pros and cons. I love it but it's certainly not for everybody. Your "superclass" is known as a "mixin" in Sass, and would be defined like so:
font-weight: bold
color: #fff
This would produce the following CSS:
.boldColor {
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
You could make better use of Sass by doing the following
// colours all together in one place
!colourTravel= #ada
!colourFishing= #e00fa2
// define a more reusable mixin (best to keep this in a "tools" partial)
font-weight= !weight
color= !colour
// then use the mixin where you need it
After all this though, I believe the best advice has already been given by Richard, and I advise only trying something like Sass out once you've had a few professional years using CSS.
- yea well i've been using css for websites for like 5 years just as a hobby and had to make an xml website for a uni course so I was wondering about such improvements! Thanks
