Watermelon Sorbetto Popsicles
When I was a kid one of my very favorite things to eat in the summer was a popsicle. Specifically, those Fla-vor-ice Freeze Pops - they came in the little plastic sleeve, to eat them you'd snip off the top and push up the popsicle from the bottom as you went. Anyone remember them? Blue was my favorite, and you could always tell when I'd been eating them because they left my lips and tongue an alarmingly bright blue shade. I loved that they were a relatively non-messy treat you could take outside on a hot summer day and enjoying while playing with your friends; even if they melted, it wasn't dripping down a popsicle stick all over your hands!
I don't buy those now, but sometimes I see them in the store and feel just a little nostalgic. Fortunately, these days, I know it's super simple to make popsicles at home and having found a cheap popsicle mold at Target, I did just that recently. These watermelon popsicles were much more flavorful than my favorite childhood ones, but just as refreshing. The vodka keeps them from getting too hard, but mine definitely held their shape long enough to eat. If popsicles don't happen to be your thing, you could chill the mixture overnight then freeze it in your ice cream maker instead.
(PS - I tried to add mini chocolate chips to my popsicles but they all sunk to the bottom - anyone know a good trick for suspending them throughout? I also attempted to wait until the mixture had partially frozen and then add them but had trouble distributing them that way too.)
Watermelon Sorbetto Popsicles
from The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz
3 cups watermelon juice*
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon vodka
popsicle mold (or 3 oz paper cups and popsicle sticks)
Combine 1/2 cup of the watermelon juice, the sugar and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and add the mixture to the remaining 2 1/2 cups of watermelon juice. Stir in the lime juice and vodka.
Pour the mixture into your popsicle molds. Freeze until solid (I like to freeze mine overnight). (If you use the paper cup method, pour into the paper cups and let freeze for a few hours, until the mixture can support the sticks, then insert them and continue freezing until solid.) To serve, run warm water over the popsicle mold until you can remove the popsicle. (If you use the paper cup method, just peel away the paper.)
*Just chop your watermelon into pieces and puree in a food processor or blender. The author notes that a 3 lb melon (including rind) usually yields 3 cups of juice. I forgot to take notes when I made this recipe - I know I scaled back quite a bit, I think I made 1/3 of the recipe and wound up with 6 popsicles.

These sound so yummy! Today I stumbled upon popsicles like these ones, but they were put into champagne glasses! They looked super cool. Thanks for this recipe!

Hmm, I'm not sure about the chocolate chips. Maybe try filling it a third of the way up, [partially freeze it, add in the chocolate chips and just keep doing that, but that seems like an awful lot of work for a popsicle :P
They look fantastic by the way. - July 20, 2011 at 2:19 PM
This was a cool, refreshing treat on a hot afternoon. Thanks for leaving them in our freezer, Tracey!

Aren't these great? I actually think they are better without the chips, but I don't know how to make them distribute evenly either.

My aunt coats her chocolate chips with flour so the wont sink to the bottom of her cakes while baking. I wonder if using powdered sugar would have the same effect in this recipe?

The phrase "dead-head" comes from die hard fans of the Grateful Dead, not necessarily stoners. And by the way, there are plenty of intelligent and active people out there who smoke up, brosiff.
I miss my Jerome Baker.....
i surf waves of bong juice
I can't blame you young guys for wanting to smoke some nuggets. I can say that I smoked my fair share of the kine bud. Now I am 37 years old and finally doing something with my life. I ain't here to preach to none of you guys, just to let you know about my reality. I smoked the best and all the rest for 20 years man. It was part of me, my identity. I saw no harm in it and didn't care who knew I smoked. I found out in the long run that it wasn't worth it. Life is better without it. I have been clean from active drug addiction for just over a year now and life is sweeter than it ever could have been while I was numbing my brain. Don't give a rat's ass who don't like this, but I speak the truth. Keep smoking your dope and being cool, it'll catch up with you man. Just trying to spread some truth and help young minds get focused. Surf your ass off, get educated, then you can retire early and surf more. Life is what you make it and if you want to be a doper then go for it. Just don't blame others and society for the life you live.

Hosted by the Magic City Casino in Miami, the Classic Rock Legends Festival was a huge success and one of the best-run festivals we have ever been to. Special thanks to Kansas management and Phil Ehart for making time for a fun interview.
Q: You've been touring for about 40 years, who is your favorite band to tour with?A: Well, that's a good question. The band that we enjoyed the most touring with was Queen. That was the "Sheer Heart Attack" tour and we did 40 gigs with them, and then we came back and toured with them a year or so later and toured with them again. That was really enjoyable because our band was just starting to come into its own as far as being able to play with a headliner, and Queen was just starting to explode, and it was really exciting to watch them.… Continue reading

Tobymac's sonic gumbo of rock, funk, old-school R&B and more flowed like musical honey on Dec. 12 in Tulsa, Okla.
The former DC Talk member and five-time Grammy Award winner brought his Hits Deep Tour to Tulsa's BOK Center, and the set list stood exactly as promised — it was crammed to the gills with Toby's radio staples and equally favored LP cuts. Guitarist Tim Rosenau's staccato, clean-toned intro to the bouncy "Me Without You" later gave way to crunchy, glorious hard-rock distortion on "Eye On It," "Tonight" and "Gone."
Throughout Toby's 80-minute set, Toddiefunk slapped, tapped and thumped what sounded like brand-new strings on his bass, and drummer Brian Haley kept the rhythms assertive and adventurous. "Steal My Show," "Lose Myself" and "Speak Life," all terrific tracks from Toby's No. 1 album from 2012, "Eye On It," gushed with new-found confidence and purpose on the Tulsa stage.… Continue reading
Interview and photos by Isaac Rodriguez Rock Legends Photographers
Q: What music or musician inspired you to be an artist? A: When I was young in the 50's my dad would play Elvis, Bill Haley, and the Everly Brothers, those were the early years, but I think once I picked up a guitar in the early 60's I would have to say immediately The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and the surf instrumental music. Then I quickly got inspired by the Beatles, like everyone else I suppose, also the singer and songwriters of the 60's. But if I would have to pick one band I would say it's a tie between the Beatles and The Beach Boys.
Q: When did the band America originate? A: Technically we started as the band America in 1970. We were a band in high school in London England. We went to an American school in England.… Continue reading

(These are edited excerpts from the interview)
Q: The fans from the Rock Legends Cruise have been asking to see you play. Is that something you would consider?A: We did a cruise one time, and (laughs) we had kind of a bad experience due to weather. It was a rough cruise. I just don't know, we have to see about that.
Q: What artist past or present that you never played with would you just to get on stage and jam with? A: BB King, hands down. I'd love to get up and jam with BB.
Q: The inspirational postings that appear on Facebook, do you do that personally? A: Actually I do it on twitter, it comes up on Facebook. I do one every day, usually some bible scripture and I hope it's something inspirational that will be encouraging to the people.… Continue reading

I had the pleasure today of meeting and watching the band Firefall perform. Firefall delivered an awesome concert which had the crowd cheering and singing along. This performance was at The Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale, Florida on November 12th. This is an awesome venue with very reasonable prices for their events, and a very friendly and helpful staff. I also had the privilege of interviewing Mr. Jock Bartley, one of the founding members of the band. A special thank you to Michelle and Lisa for making this possible.
Q: What music or musician did you listen to that inspired you as an artist?A: The main group of course was the Beatles when they came out, and they changed the world. Beatlemania took over! They were great song writers and singers, but when I heard Eric Clapton play for the first time the heavens opened up and I said "I want to do that".… Continue reading

Lengthy, fuzzy beards? Check.
Sequined, south-of-the-border jackets? Check.
Cool-as-the-breeze sunglasses? Check.
Loud, purple-colored guitars? Yep, ZZ Top still has these and quite a bit more.
ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons (guitar, vocals), Dusty Hill (bass,vocals) and Frank Beard (drums, vocals) remain rock music's sharp-dressed men, and more importantly, they continue to be a sonic force to be reckoned with under the stage lights.
The "Little Ol' Band from Texas" fired up a hit-single-friendly set list for a capacity audience on Oct. 18 at The Joint inside the Tulsa Hard Rock in Catoosa, Okla., proving to be a willing-and-able unit bent on delivering the musical goods.
Within seconds of the house lights darkening, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band infused grit into the night-opener, "Got Me Under Pressure," with Gibbons' six-string picking staking claim to the sound system's mid-range frequencies.
The song's bouncy rhythms and side-stepping arrangement immediately put band and spectators in an easy-going mood.… Continue reading
By Isaac Rodriguez Rock Legends Photographers Q: What music or musician did you listen to that inspired you as an artist? A: [Sandy] He and I (referring to Howie) — we saw a television show called the Frankie Lane show and a group called Frankie Lymon and the teenagers came on and played "Why Do Fools Fall in Love." We got impressed with that and then we saw the Everly Brothers on television and we decided we wanted to do that too. [Sandy] Howie you tell him who inspired you? [Howie] To be a singer? [RLP] Just to be an artist in general. [Howie] Honestly, Mario Lanza. He was a star in the movies in the 50′s, he was like an opera singer. Mario Lanza was an operatic singer. When I went to Radio City Music Hall and see whatever movie was there, there he was. So I would say WOW!… Continue reading

As a company we have been blessed to capture images of three performances by progressive rock band Ambrosia this year. Our south Florida photographer Isaac Rodriguez captured two of them and we were able to capture the third show on October 13th at the Largo Cultural Center.
Meeting the band was like meeting a bunch of new friends! There were all very nice, easy to talk to, and seemed like regular guys that you might find in your local bowling league.
Once they changed clothes and hit the stage it was immediately obvious why this band still has a strong following. Boasting three original members including Burleigh Drummond (drums, vocals), Joe Puerta (bass, vocals) and Christopher North (keyboards, vocals), Ambrosia was also joined by brilliant lead vocalist Ken Stacey, Burliegh's wife Mary Harris (keyboards, vocals), Doug Jackson (guitar, vocals) and Alan Tilles (saxophone).… Continue reading
Jon Bon Jovi is making headlines not for his band's music nor for the recent issues with now ex-lead guitarist Richie Sambora. Instead, it was an incredible act of kindness on the 51-year-old Jersey native's part that put him back in the news.
This past Saturday, Oct. 12, Bon Jovi took a trip out to Las Vegas to deliver a well-intentioned shot to the heart of super-fan Branka Delic, a 34-year-old Australian woman who was in Sin City to wed fiancé Gonzalo Cladera. If you're wondering how and why he ended up at her wedding, it turns out that she caught Bon Jovi's attention through the use of social media and a website created solely for this purpose.
Delic's site features a plea to the frontman, who was, as luck would have it, performing in Vegas that same night during his Because We Can tour:
"She might not be marrying Bon Jovi, but the next best option is for her to walk down the same aisle he did 20 good strong years ago so the stage has been set… The Graceland Chapel, Las Vegas Nevada."
"In Branka's mind, the wedding gods have come together because JBJ is performing at MGM Grand that same night.… Continue reading

The singing co-founder of Santana and Journey remains full of musical muscle these days.
At 66, Gregg Rolie still possesses that wonderfully haunting vocal quality that first ushered the studio version of Santana's "Black Magic Woman" and Journey's early, prog-rock work into pop culture's VIP section. It's no surprise that the vocalist-keyboardist is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the original Santana band, but it's downright startling how commanding and inspired Rolie's singing pipes have remained.
Proof that Rolie's vocal and piano-playing skills haven't wilted from Father Time's on-going march was witnessed by an appreciative crowd on Oct. 11 inside the UAFS at Second Street theater in Fort Smith, Ark. Rolie and fellow Austin, Texas resident Alan Haynes (guitar) performed choice, stripped-down cuts from the catalogs of Santana and Journey, as well as recent and soon-to-be-released material they've created under the Gregg Rolie Band moniker.… Continue reading

There has, somewhat predictably, been a backlash against the hype that has surrounded content marketing.
However, though the backlash is understandable, this does not mean that content marketing has ceased to be useful, far from it.
Doug Kessler explores the issue in this excellent post, and debunks several of the arguments against.
Here, I've put the question to several agency and client side marketers, as well as the Econsultancy research team.

While there has been a slight backlash around content marketing, I think mainly due to the hype, brands in general have upped their game this year, and there are some great examples around.
i've asked agency and client side marketers, as well as the Econsultancy editorial team for their favourite examples of content campaigns and strategy from the past 12 months.

I worked on a conference talk called Ban the Blog with a colleague about a year ago. It was a purposefully provocative title and an extreme view, but one I believe many businesses and website owners need to heed (yes, I get the irony of writing this on a blog platform, but hopefully you'll see past that minor contradiction).
Blogs can often become a content dumping ground and despite the rising influence of structured content strategies into the broad digital direction, let's start a blog' is still a statement that is regularly touted in planning sessions.
But creating a blog and chronologically presenting what you produce isn't necessarily the answer to your content needs.
Putting your content in date order may make sense in some instances (and with some CMS platforms it's your only option), but just because it's your latest, it isn't necessarily your greatest or the most relevant for your audience.

As we draw closer to the end of 2013, not a day goes by without someone committing a feverish 'future of content marketing' post into the marketing blogosphere.
According to these digital soothsayers, next year we are destined (doomed?) to see more native advertising, more video content, more renewed commitment to 'story first' strategies, and so forth.
Sound familiar?
These are all strategies and techniques you could have read about in 2012, 2011 and 2010. The truth is content marketing has been around for over a hundred years, but there are many who would be happy for it to remain in its predictable, boring and samey infancy.
To be quite blunt, content marketing in 2014 needs to grow up.
Here's how I'd like see content marketing mature over the next year...

We have switched from a world of mass media to one where the masses are the media.
Millions of ad spend once focused on a limited number of channels at a fixed time now explodes into millions of channels; anytime, anywhere and each with an ever-diminished moving audience.
by Chris Gorell Barnes 22 November 2013 09:17am 1 comment
In October 2012 Econsultancy ran a survey which found that 90% of brands felt that content marketing would become more important over the following 12 months.
One year on it is hard to argue against the fact that content marketing is now among the most important trends in digital.
However when we published the Content Marketing Survey Report with Outbrain, just 38% of respondents had a defined strategy in place.
That is likely to have changed by now, however just to add more weight to the argument in favour of this discipline I have rounded up six case studies from various brands that have seen real results from content marketing.
by David Moth 21 November 2013 13:51pm 2 comments
Content marketing has only a loose definition; some think of it as informational content added to a website to improve search ranking, others see it as a way to drive traffic to a website from social.
Going a little further, many brands select a content niche that often has little direct relation to their products. Creating content like this often isn't enough; at this stage, content marketing moves into sponsorship, patronage, charity, brand association and media ownership on a scale most brands only dream of.
So who is taking content to the next level, and what scale are we talking about?
by Ben Davis 19 November 2013 13:06pm 5 comments
There's a smattering of complacency about content marketing.
Many brands are spending a great deal of money on content creation, and then just tagging a few keywords, sticking it up on their site's blog, repeatedly posting it on Twitter for a few weeks and calling it a day: job done. Quality content needn't have such a finite shelf-life.
With a little creativity content can be re-used and promoted more regularly, for example by creating seasonal content which can be easily repurposed each year. Neither should marketers be solely dependent on SEO and social shares to get the content seen.
by Nick Marr 18 November 2013 14:54pm 9 comments
Content is arguably the biggest trend to hit online marketing since the advent of social media, video and search.
Content is everywhere. And with content comes the opportunity for new, exciting, content based advertising models.

Merely publishing on your blog isn't enough.
You'll need a diversified content marketing spread and that means generating content for many channels as well as your own properties.
How does this content spread pan out? What are the different avenues for content marketing? Leaving the default content publication channels such as company website, blog, and social media, how do you spread the net far and wide for maximum impact?
Here are some ways to go about it:

It's addictive really – once you start slowing things down and putting the hook/load where you want it, it becomes a fine tuning process with really rewarding results.

| Posted by Michael G. | (Eastford, CT)I couldn't be more happy! Easy directions and they popped right in. I don't have air and it makes a big difference, plus I can leave the windows open when it rains and the windshield doesn't fog. Not to mention it cuts down on wind noise, both when the windows are up and down! I am going to buy these for my Blazer and my Sonata!

I have them on both of my vehicles and my two children's cars also. I would not go without them. The most simple items to install on the vehicle. They look great and work very well, in all types of weather. Weather Tech is the best, and the only ones I would install on any of my vehicles.

A qualified vote for choice one. Some of the utilities (just some) are unnecessarily complicated and have too steep a learning curve. That's what brought me to this forum in the first place.Originally posted by tuxx
One of them had spyware attached to it.
If you're going to level an accusation like that, I'd think we'd all like to hear some specific details.
1. Which utility do you claim had "spyware" attached?
2. Exactly what "spyware" do you suspect was attached to this utility?
Many of us would be interested in knowing which one and Sheryl in the first place. Since the source code of each utility is provided in the installation package, the presence of spyware in that code is very unlikely.
However, some of our utilities may be reported as spyware just because they work as Internet Explorer extensions (in which case the detection program that you used is wrong). This is the case for FormWhiz, for example. Not any IE add-in is a spyware but many spyware/adware programs are installed as IE extensions.

I would have guessed that I had a dozen or so but, this is 45 utilities (at say about $20 to $25 ) means I have would have paid well over a thousand dollars !!! for all these great programs..............
I have found that the instructions with each is very complete. Any problems I ever had with any of them was always a result of my not reading the "Manual" in detail before beginning.
I have a 4 year old Hewlett Packard, 6gig, 64mg ram, Win98, IE6 and like the above programs I've never had a problem that wasn't traceable to my error.
After seeing how much advantage I've taken of your Magazine I guess I probably should subscribe........Right?

Unlike bulky seat cushions that are heavy or difficult to carry, this compact gel-filled cushion weighs only 2 1/2 lbs, folds in half, and is easily portable due to its integrated handle. The soft, pliant gel- and supportive foam-filled pads disperse weight across the width of the cushion, relieving point-of-contact pressure inherent in long periods of sitting (at a desk, behind the wheel of a car, in bleachers while viewing a sporting event, and more), helping to prevent or lessen back strain and blood vessel and capillary constriction. For additional comfort, the center groove eliminates contact pressure on the tailbone and soft tissue. The surface slopes forward a gentle 5° to encourage proper pelvic posture for correct lumbar curvature, while 16 small vented openings allow for adequate ventilation. 1" H x 16" W x 13 1/2" D. (2 1/2 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Portable Gel Seat comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.Should you have any questions, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Great for rowers

my son is a coxswain and uses this seat in the bottom of the boat. It is fairly lightweight yet provides good cushioning.
Car Comfort

This gel seat fits the passenger seat in my 325i BMW. That seat caused my husband great discomfort in his lower back and buttocks. With the gel seat, he can ride in comfort.

Good but cold in the winter
By Anonymous

We just got it, so not sure how well it's going to work. It does retain the cold weather after sitting in a cold car in winter. Did not warm up quickly. This could be a possible downside, but we'll have to see.
seems like a great item
By nancyk

i bought this for my dad who hasn't tried it yet (it's going to be a gift) but lo and behold a visiting salesman carries one with him EVERYWHERE. couldn't believe it when he plopped a pile of folders and paperwork down on my desk for a meeting and sitting on top was this exact seat cushion! he had a different kind andat first but it wore out and he really loves this one. based on all the good things HE said about it, i'm giving it 5 stars in advance!
No more sore
By Traveling Man

I wasn't satisfied with the amount of cushion on my office chair, and my truck seat - bought two portable gel seats (one for each) - work great - I can take the one in my truck with me when I fly, and not have to deal with uncomfortable airline seats anymore
helps with long periods of sitting
By Jake
from San Francisco, CA
Since I'm tall most chairs are too short for proper posture, they're sloped backwards. I use this on my office chair and it has lessened the stress on my back. I had a friend try it and they bought one too.
Relief at last!!!
By Bastropboy
from Bastrop, Texas
I purchased this for my mother who is suffering from degenerative osteoarthritis of the lower spine. It was suppose to be used in the car, but when she received it and tired it out, she liked it so much, she is using it on the couch, at the hairdresser, waiting for doctors appointments....too many uses to list. She loves it and says it is the first cushion she has tried that helped.
Excellent choice!
By Duck
I take my portable gel seat wherever I go, any place I know I am going to be sitting! It's lightweight and stands up to constant use! I am so glad I found it!

Henrico voters face long lines at precincts
But registrar doesn't expect higher turnout than 2008
UPDATED: 2:30 P.M. – Voting in Henrico County – viewed as one of several key swing counties in the nation in today's presidential election – was brisk this morning and early afternoon, with longer than normal lines reported countywide and many voters waiting an hour or more to cast their ballots. But despite the crowds, Henrico Registrar Mark Coakley told the Citizen that he doesn't expect voter turnout today to exceed the county's 79.8 percent turnout rate in the 2008 presidential election. That year, morning rain kept turnout slightly lower early in the day. Today, voters had only cold temperatures to deal with as they went to the polls. The morning rush should reduce the length of lines at Henrico's 92 precincts this evening, Coakley said. President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney identified Henrico early in this campaign as the key swing county in Virginia, the potential key state in the election. Obama won the county by nearly 19,000 votes four years ago, turning a historically red county blue. His victory here that year was due in large part to his 23,000-vote advantage over Republican John McCain in the Fairfield and Varina districts. For Romney to paint Henrico red today, he'll likely need to cut into Obama's margins in those two districts and attract more voters in the traditionally Republican Three Chopt and Tuckahoe districts, where McCain won by slightly less than 9,000 votes in 2008. If Romney's margins in those two district offset Obama's margins in Fairfield and Varina, then the county's vote could come down to the Brookland District – which McCain won four years ago by just 42 votes out of the 37,219 cast there. This is the first presidential election since the county shifted the lines of its magisterial districts slightly in 2011, following the 2010 U.S. census. Only minor voting issues had been reported in Henrico as of 1:45 p.m. today. Power flickered at two precincts in the Fairfield District this morning, but Dominion Power crews quickly restored it and no votes were lost, Coakley said. The number of absentee voters in the county was lower this year than in 2008 by about 4,000, Coakley said. But, at about 16,000, "it's still high," he said. Henrico voters today also are helping select a replacement for outgoing U.S. Senator Jim Webb in a race contesting former governors George Allen, a Republican, and Tim Kaine, a Democrat. Webb defeated Allen six years ago to claim the seat. Voters in the western portion of Henrico also are choosing between Republican incumbent Eric Cantor and Democrat Wayne Powell in the race for the 7th District U.S. House of Representatives seat, while voters in the eastern part of the county are choosing between Democratic incumbent Bobby Scott and Republican challenger Dean Longo. |

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.
