Whipped Cream Frosting
Author Notes: I love whipped cream frosting but found that just whipping cream with sugar and vanilla didn't hold up very well. I found this recipe in James McNair's Cakes and it is really good. Holds up well, is not too sweet and spreads nicely. - sdebrango
Serves generously frosts a 9 in cake
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- Place metal bowl and wire whisk beater or beaters in freezer to chill.
- In a small saucepan combine the powdered sugar and cornstarch whisk until mixed. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream whisk until smooth. Place on medium heat and stir constantly to prevent scorching at the bottom stir constantly until mixture thickens and almost comes to a boil. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and set aside stirring occasionally until it reaches room temperature.
- In the chilled bowl combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and the vanilla beat with the chilled whisk of your stand mixer or your hand held mixer until the cream begins to hold shape. While still beating add the powdered sugar mixture a little at a time. Beat just until the mixture forms stiff peaks when the beater is raised and is spreadable, be careful not to over beat. Use immediately.

Hi! I'm going to make this and I'm wondering
If i could add orange juice and zest to it to make an orange flavoured cream? Would it affect the stability? Thanks!
about 1 month ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Don't use orange juice but YES to the zest. I do it all the time. I make lemon and lime all the time. I would add the zest of an entire orange if you want intense flavor. You can also get pure orange extract but for me zest works beautifully. Enjoy!

Hello! What is the British alternative to heavy cream? We have double cream here, will this work as well? Apparently it has a higher butterfat content than heavy cream
about 1 month ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Hello Sam, yes double cream should work. It is the fat content that is important and double cream is high in fat. Let me know how it works!

Oh, this is the recipe:
3 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
3/4 cups cocoa powder
dash of salt.
So, do you think adding that corn starch pudding stabilizer to this recipe will work??
2 months ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Yes, I think you could do that and the corn starch pudding would further stabilize the frosting. I love a chocolate whipped cream icing and have used my basic recipe with the cocoa powder. It should work beautifully.
2 months ago Rachel
There's a Chocolate Mousse Frosting recipe I've been using that is so delicious, but the lack of stability is quite an issue as these cakes are being sold at the restaurant where I work and they sit on display for long periods of time. I planning on trying this recipe you've provided today as I have 3 4-layer, 8"round cakes to make. My question is this: Can I use your recipe and add the cocoa powder to make it chocolate? Or even strawberry powder to make a pink strawberry flavored whipped topping?

Hi, I just wanted to know can I use xantham gum instead of cornstarch?
4 months ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Hi Attia, great question. I wasn't sure having never used it in the applicaiton so I looked it up and yes you can use it instead of cornstarch although everything I read said that it's not necessarily an equal exchange, You may have to experiment, the pudding or cornstarch, powdered sugar and cream mixture when cooked and cooled becomes quite thick pretty much the consistency of a pudding. You may have to experiment to achieve the right thickness. Best of luch and do let me know how it turns out.

I have a question about the texture of this frosting; is it more like a butter cream or whipped cream? How does this compared to the stabilized whipped cream using gelatin?
4 months ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
It's closer to a buttercream if I had to liken it to anything. I like it better than using gelatin, in my opinion the texture is better although both are stable.
6 months ago Regine
Alef, I have various versions. Here is another one. You can try all at some point to see which one you prefer.
Stabilized Whipped Cream Icing
This is the type used on bakery-style cakes.
2 teaspoons Knox Gelatine
4 teaspoons cold water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix Knox Gelatine and cold water and set aside.
Whip the cream, and add confectioner's sugar. Add gelatine mixture and vanilla extract.
This does not alter the taste of the whipped cream in any way. It may be used in place of
Cool Whip in desserts.
6 months ago Regine
You definitely need to store cake overnigh in refrigerator. I think this icing will hold up outside for 2 hours. But in case you are interested here is another version of the recipe from "Baking with Rose" which is supposed to hold 8 hours outside at 75 degrees (or less).
Gelatin Stabilized Whipped Cream (4 cups): 4 tbsp powdered sugar + 2 tsp gelatin + 2 cup heavy cream + 1 tsp vanilla.
Combine sugar and gelatin and gradually stir ½ cup of the cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cool to room temperature. Beat remaining cream till u see beater marks, then add gel mixture and vanilla and beat to stiff peak.

Will the icing hold up if I frost the cake a night before to take to a party the next day? Would it be best to store the cake in the refrigerator overnight?
I will be taking this via train to the party so it will be out of the fridge for approx 2 hours... do you think this will work?
6 months ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Hi Alef, yes it will hold up overnight, definitely store in the refrigerator it's cream, I have let the cake sit at room temperature for more than two hours and it was fine, when I am transporting I use a freezer pack that I place in my cake carrier, I am not sure what you are using to transport the cake but really it will be fine 2 hours make sure it's thoroughly chilled (sitting in the fridge all night and up until you leave) it will be fine. Optimal is to somehow attach a freezer pack if you can possibly do that.
6 months ago Alef
Thank you so much for replying so quickly... much appreciated, I will definitely be trying this for the party!
Thanks again :)
6 months ago Alef
sorry for all the questions but would it be ok inside a box in the fridge or will the condensation provide too much moisture?
I will be using a cake box or carrier so I will try attaching a ice pack depending on what I use
Have you tried decorating with fresh fruit, if so does this alter the stability?
I am very excited but nervous to try this recipe, as you may be able to tell
6 months ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
I store my cakes in a plastic cake carrier that is tightly sealed, I haven't had any problem at all with condensation. I think storing it in a box will pose no problems at all. Regarding the fresh fruit, I would bring the fruit separately and garnish the cake right before serving, you could have a problem with the fruit weeping which wouldn't ruin the cake but won't make for a beautiful presentation. Best of luck, don't be nervous. I have made this recipe literally hundreds of times over the years and it has never failed me. It is the best whipped cream icing I have every had. It holds up so beautifully I am sure you will love it.
6 months ago angelicamarino
I am curious as to whether this is more like regular whipped cream or more like frosting. I really like plain whipped cream (no sugar), but the problem with it is you have to basically put it right on the cake before you want to eat it. I would like a whipped cream frosting that I can put on the cake about 4 hours before I am going to serve the cake and the whipped cream still be ok. The cake may be sitting out these four hours, meaning not refrigerated. Will this work for that?
6 months ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
This is a stable whipped cream frosting, it tastes exactly like whipped cream. The cornstarch pudding which is a very small amount stabilizes it so that it doesn't degrade like pure whipped cream. Will the cake be sitting out in the house where it's cool? If thats the case it should be fine but outside in the sun and heat it wouldn't be a good idea. I have made this frosting hundreds of times and sometimes the cake sits out in the house and is perfectly fine. That said I would try to refrigerate after it has been at room temperature for a few hours, I would say 4 is the limit because it is a dairy product. If you make it I hope you enjoy, and let me know how it does.

Heavy cream isn't readily available here in my area. Not sure if there are supermarkets in the city that carry this product. Would I get a different result if I use whipping cream? Plus I want to add a Nutella flavor to my cream. Can I just fold it in? Would it lose its sturdiness?
6 months ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Whipping cream will work the same as heavy cream. If that is what you have readily available it will be just fine. The cornstarch mixture makes the cream sturdy. Hope it goes well for you, please let me know.

Will this hold for a 12" strawberry shortcake that will be sitting outside for a few hours? Or does this need to be refrigerated until serving?
6 months ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
In the warm summer months I would refrigerate for safety reasons. I have had it unrefrigerated for an hour or more and it held up beautifully but that was not outside in warm temps. To be safe I would refrigerate, I usually take it out of the fridge about 30 minutes before serving so cake will be closer to room temp.

Can I use this frosting for making roses, flowers?
6 months ago
Suzanne is a trusted source on General Cooking.
I have tried that, it's a very good question Honestly, it's not quite as stable as a buttercream but it is a pretty stable frosting. I have piped borders with it and it held up beautifully so I would give flowers a try. I think it might work. Let me know, I am very interested to hear.

Are you using the icing as a filling also? It should be enough for a sheet cake that size. It frosts a 9 inch round generously so one layer of a sheet cake will be covered easily by the recipe.

Yes, it will last overnight, in fact a couple of days I think. Also, in case you are interested, I also use this other recipe which lasts several days in the fridge: 2 cups heavy cream + 4 tbsp French vanilla pudding (the powder) + 4 tbsp confectioners' sugar (or to taste) + 1 tsp vanilla
Whip cream until barely stiff; add the sugar and pudding all at once to cream during whipping. Stop whipping when cream forms soft peaks.

Morocco Tours
Even seasoned travellers will find Morocco irresistible. A country of wonderful contrasts, this ever-enticing land juxtaposes maze-like bazaars with snow-draped mountains, rugged deserts with romantic walled towns and delicious cuisine with warm hospitality. All of which makes our Morocco tours an absolute feast for the senses.
Highlights of our Morocco tours
We've handcrafted our tours of Morocco to encompass all the great experiences this magical country has up its sleeve. Admire the boulevards and mosques of romantic Casablanca and immerse yourself in atmospheric Fez, whose old medina is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, exotic stalls and boisterous souks. You'll also see the Royal Palace and leafy gardens of Morocco's capital, Rabat, and head into the Middle Atlas Mountains to see the epic Ziz Valley.
Our escorted tours of Morocco also reveal the incredible gorges and oases of the Eastern Atlas Mountains and the spectacular, high Tizi-n-Tichkas Pass nestled in the High Atlas peaks. And topping the agenda on many of our tours in Morocco is the fabled 'Pink City' of Marrakesh. Cinematically backed by the snow-clad Atlas mountains, it's a sightseer's dream, with its stall-packed Djemaa El Fna square, ancient alleyways and beautiful 'riad' townhouses. And if you're looking to enjoy this alluring country even more, our Morocco tours let you extend your time in Marrakech or add a stay in Agadir, lapping up the sun on its golden beaches.
What's more, some of our Morocco tours venture further by incorporating tours of Spain and Portugal, so you can experience these three inspiring countries in one. Spend time in Spain's delightful capital of Madrid and ancient university town of Coimbra. Explore the historic Portuguese capital of Lisbon, with its exquisite architecture and strong maritime flavour. Other stops along the way include the Moorish elegance and orange-blossomed plazas of flamenco-mad Seville and Granada's exquisite Alhambra palace, standing majestically on a hilltop.
With so much to offer, why not view our escorted tours to Morocco and related holidays here?

We know everyone is different so we have a range of flexible options to make your holiday special.

White Matter Microstructural Integrity and Executive Function in Parkinson's Disease. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23321049 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher |
Recent studies suggest that white matter abnormalities contribute to both motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The present study was designed to investigate the degree to which diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) indices are related to executive function in Parkinson's patients. We used tract-based spatial statistics to compare DTI data from 15 patients to 15 healthy, age- and education-matched controls. We then extracted mean values of fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) within an a priori frontal mask. Executive function composite Z scores were regressed against these DTI indices, age, and total intracranial volume. In Parkinson's patients, FA was related to executive composite scores, and both indices were related to Stroop interference scores. We conclude that white matter microstructural abnormalities contribute to cognitive deficits in Parkinson's disease. Further work is needed to determine whether these white matter changes reflect the pathological process or a clinically important comorbidity. (JINS, 2013, 19, 1-6). |

Estimating Dynamic Discrete Choice Models with Hyperbolic Discounting, with an Application to Mammography DecisionsHanming Fang, Yang Wang
NBER Working Paper No. 16438 We extend the semi-parametric estimation method for dynamic discrete choice models using Hotz and Miller's (1993) conditional choice probability (CCP) approach to the setting where individuals may have hyperbolic discounting time preferences and may be naive about their time inconsistency. We illustrate the proposed estimation method with an empirical application of adult women's decisions to undertake mammography to evaluate the importance of present bias and naivety in the under-utilization of this preventive health care. Our results show evidence for both present bias and naivety. The NBER Bulletin on Aging and Health provides summaries of publications like this.

Wiped Out
BUSINESSWEEK tells the tale of how roughly 90 Proctor & Gamble workers were lured into quitting their jobs by the siren's call of a local stockbroker who promised them untold riches. Bill Gibbs, the stockbroker, convinced older workers to quit their jobs so he could gain control of their company-funded retirement accounts. As Gibbs' original investments began to falter, he sank his clients' portfolios heavily into tech and Internet stocks just as those sectors were peaking and about to begin devastating declines. Within a year, most of these workers saw their life savings wiped out.

A WCPO-TV investigation reveals that four of Cincinnati's biggest corporate giants -- Procter & Gamble, General Electric, Kroger and Cincinnati Bell -- commissioned a secret report ten years ago aimed at cutting the insurance costs of the companies. "Afraid to lose tens of thousands of potential patients the Big Four employed, hospitals and doctors cut deals that drove down their pay." The WCPO-TV investigation found that "physicians today could earn dramatically more by just moving hours away."

Critical Mass: As Huge Companies Keep Growing, CEOs Struggle to Keep Pace
The Wall Street Journals looks at how the "merger mania [that] gave birth to new behemoths" has changed the way that big companies are being managed. The story finds that now "dumb moves or stumbles are subject to much greater scrutiny, decisions must be made quickly, with limited information," and "vastly expanded overseas operations can make ... communicating with employees increasingly difficult." The article examines the strategy of the biggest U.S. corporate structures and reveals how their managers have accommodated their companies' growth. The author concludes that "technology and delegating help tame the barrage of data, deals, [and] decisions."

New Laptop Notebook Cooling Pad w/3 Built-in Fans 15.4" $4.59 shipped EBAY DLY
Last edited by widgit; 05-01-2012 at 06:21 PM..
Reason: added product picture and more detailed tags
I bought the same item elsewhere. IMO, it will only work good if you re using it on a level surface such as a desk or table. Otherwise, it will flex, bend, etc and the fans will make contact with the surface and freeze up.
It is very flimsy. Tried to use it a handful of times and now it just collects dust. McBub.com sells fraudulent copies of products while advertising them as original, AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS.
Proud gun-owning Independent since 2012. GOP : Governing by Oligarchic Plutocracy |
Not to thread cap but this whole deal is laughable. I had one of these they are terrible.
The whole thing is flimsy and provides next to zero air flow despite having 3 fans. The only thing it's good for is the LED lights. You're much better off buying some of the cooler deals frys has every now and then. |
Got one of these earlier (still have it). It's good if you keep this cooling pad on a hard/flat surface and then laptop on top of it. If you like to use your laptop while lying in the bed or keeping it in your lap, this may not be the best option. It's cheap plastic, bends easy and then fan touches the unevern surface.
This looks like Amazon's page (with reviews) for it:

Here's how Verizon and Motorola's Droid Maxx stacks up in our hands-on comparison to Apple's iPhone 5, completed Aug. 28, 2013. For another view, check ZDNet.com's review dated Aug. 28. Droid Maxx showed up last week in Verizon Wireless stores and Verizon.com.
This Motorola-built phone is very similar to the Moto X from AT&T. Droid Maxx offers amazingly long battery life for a phone comparable in size and weight to most other smartphones. It also has a very fast processor and a 5-inch screen, slightly larger than the iPhone screens. Though iPhone 5 is Apple's latest version of the world's best selling smartphone right now, Apple will announce newer iPhones on September 20.
Battery life: Droid Maxx has amazing battery life for its size and weight. With light use during the demo, the battery lasted more than 3 days. Verizon rates this battery 3500 mAh delivering up to 48 hours use, or up to 25 days on standby. The iPhone 5 battery supports up to 10 hours internet use and up to 225 hours on standby.
Price: Droid Maxx costs $299.99 with a new 2-year service commitment from Verizon. Without the two year commitment Droid Maxx's fullretail price is $649.99. The lower $299.99 price comes with an early termination fee of $350. Monthly access for Droid Maxx or any other smartphone on the Verizon Share Everything plan costs $40. Shipping is free if the Droid Maxx is ordered from Verizon.com. A comparable iPhone 5 with 32 gigabytes of memory also retails at $299 with a new 2-year commitment and is currently discounted by at least $50 at most outlets as newer model iPhones are expected to debut in September.

John Holt
John Holt
On an island renowned for its superb vocalists and composers, John Holt still stands head and shoulders above the rest as one of Jamaica's sweetest singers and enduring songwriters. He has voiced and penned so many of the country's classics that in a way, Holt has defined the island's sound. Born in the Greenwich Farm area of Kingston, Jamaica, on July 11, 1947, the young Holt took his first steps into the music business via the talent show circuit. Talent shows have always had a massive popularity in Jamaica and the top ones were initially broadcast live on radio and later on television. Many of the island's greatest artists (Gregory Isaacs amongst them) made their first appearances in talent shows, and it has proved an excellent training ground for young hopefuls.

You're right. Steam is constantly receiving updates and Team Fortress
2 is all about hats and other crap that people can make off of the
game. DOTA 2 is similar and I'll be surprised if the upcoming
Counter-Strike isn't leveraged as a platform in some way. 1.6 was used
to help develop Steam and CS:Source was used to show off the source
engine. They tried to use Portal to help boost sales of the Razer
Hydra controller. Half-Life 2 Episode 3 and Half-Life 3 may only be
the carrot on a stick to keep people hoping for more.
Honestly, they may be turning into a platform house but it's a bit
difficult to feel bitter about it. It offers an integrated gaming
environment (Steam via the friends list, auto-updates, library and
saves management, etc) and the company does cater to the community and
developers quite a bit. Their intentions may be to leverage them for
money but they aren't being evil (or at least 'as evil as others').
You can mod many of their games. If I have to deal with drm then a
simple product key would be best but Steam's method would be the next
best thing (besides no drm). Like you said, PC gaming thrived before
them and could do so with them gone. I wish that they would be more
forthcoming with their intentions. Are they going to eventually roll
out a Linux distro and Steam certified devices? Are they ever going to
increase the rate at which they develop and release games? The answer
to the latter is probably "no" since they don't want to piss off their
partners on an open platform. I'm pretty sure that EA and others
dislike that they give Valve free advertising with their games by
bothering with their platform. Hence Origin.
I'm lazy, devs, pubs and other people are to an extent lazy too. If we
can just go to a single place, get all of our games and software with
a decent ui then I will use it. Companies like Capcom will scare a
person off from buying PC games. I bought the digital versions of Dark
Void Zero and Devil May Cry 4 from them a few years ago. The DMC 4
installer constantly failed in downloading the game but it did
eventually activate and install successfully. Dark Void Zero wouldn't
activate which wouldn't allow me to install it. I dealt with their
customer support many times off and on over the course of 1.5 years. I
still have not played or installed Dark Void Zero. I've seen people
buy and install DMC 4 from Steam and it was just as frictionless as
most of other Steam installs can be. They even got it for less than I
paid Capcom. I have to go through hell if I want to install it on
another machine. I'm willing to at least bother with Steam and a few
other services but I guess we're mostly a sausage fest since
disinterested folks will not even bother with PC gaming due to the
barriers and shitty experience. I don't even like World of Warcraft
but I appreciated how easy Blizzard made the entire installation and
trial process when I tried it last year. There were no weird issues
after an install, nothing else getting messed up on my pc. I'm a
system admin and even I don't want to bother with crap when I'm trying
to entertain myself with my pc.
At grocery stores, they have these 'self-checkout' aisles which I loathe. I wondered why I loathed them until it hit me recently. With a normal check-out, you judge the company on their performance of checking out. But in a self-checkout, the company judges you on your performance of checking out.
When a company makes games, they offer their product to you and ask, "How do you like it?" But when the company makes platforms or User Generated Content, you get told what the company thinks of your usage (or other people get asked of other customers' usage).
Imagine the Valve Corporation being a restaurant. Instead of cooking food, it would become a 'platform' and sell other people's food (it would become a grocery store but still try to call itself a restaurant). Then, the Valve Corporation wants to expand in non-food products which, surprise surprise, focuses on products used to make food. So the Valve Corporation starts selling pans and cook books. No matter if people liked or disliked the Valve Corporation doing this, whatever you do, don't call it a restaurant anymore.
The Valve Corporation is many things. But it is no longer a game company. It's mutated into something more like Best Buy or Gamestop. And instead of seeking profits with used games, it is seeking profits with used gamers.

Last Day of Epic Painting Project!!!
Thought I would make it official - yesterday was my Last Day of this wonderful project, and am most thankful to all for participating. Am posting my thoughts, as well as some updates, here:
Once again, I warmly thank everybody who made this effort possible.
Things immediately coming up (or at least in the next 2 weeks or so)
1. I still have to work on the Forever Drawing which will become the substance of postcards I will send out in gratitude to the $5 - $15 group. Most of you have already shared with me your thoughts and addresses - if you haven't done so, please go ahead
2. If any of you have not responded to the Kickstarter survey re. rewards, please do so by June 5th. After that date I will assume you do not want them - though I thank you regardless for your contribution wholeheartedly!
3. Some who have ventured onto the website (turner.aliciaraya.com) may have noticed, aside from the regularish sort of posting, 3 pages which promise image galleries, a summary of the project, and a full list of contributors. I will take the time to fill these out properly as well as a proper Picasa/Flickr album - and possibly a facebook page. Meanwhile, ad hoc images of project can be seen at this facebook album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3464885980389.164427.1218182039&type=1&l=2751d962eb
4. Though i consider the project finished, I reserve the right to tweak, modify or edit the paintings as needed, especially a few of the last ones
Aside from that, future goals, hopes & projections will be available on the blog, including my 'farewell for now' post: http://turner.aliciaraya.com/2012/05/it-aint-over-till-its-over-even-then.html
thanks so much for participating! Much love to all........

Thread: 4th Round Thoughts
Thanks for posting. I think Childs has talent. The issue is will he ever be his former self. I believe that he got better as the year went along but how far from "him" is he? I believe these players are talented players but we took them in spots I wouldn't. I would have love to have Childs where we got him but Randle at the end of the 2nd instead of Wright.

I can't really answer how far from "him" he is, but the further away from his injury the better. He slowly showed signs of what he was near the end of last year, and I think most of it was the fear and trusting his recovery. I think his ceiling is pretty high.
As far as other parts of the game besides routes, etc, all of our receivers loved downfield blocking. They'll fit in with those skills and attitude for AP.
I don't know the Vikings draft needs and haven't paid any attention to what you guys needed, so I can't say where you picked them is good or bad. I'm a Browns fan unfortunately, and that decision I made when I was in 4th grade is one that I've definitely regretted .
My main reply was to the dink and dunk offense and that's nothing of what we ran at Arkansas, and trying to clear up a bit about Childs and his injury. Obviously no one knows how "over" he is with his injury, but he is a tough kid and a very hard worker.
Wright is a good matchup vs linebackers and 3rd and 4th cornerbacks in the middle of the field. He's really good at finding the open spots running the north and south, up the field routes. He destroyed Texas A&M last year with 290+ receiving yards. It seemed all of it was between the hashes and 25+ yards down field. Game fast and sure hands.
Both guys are high character, intelligent guys and will give the Vikings all they have.
We all know judging these draft picks won't be determined until years 2-3.
Now I'm waiting for Trent Richardson to tear his knee at the first preseason game
Trent will have a good career. Chilly is your head coach and he loves to pound the rock. He did it early in Peterson's career and it worked well.
Wright is who I think he is. He is a poorer man's Harvin(not a knock at all) We already have that. We needed two polished wrs. 1 tall body ( like Childs) and another polished route runner. Harvin eats in the middle of the field and our on the edges.

Yeah I don't know your exact needs, so that will be TBD on the Wright pick.
You can complete the Warren High School, Arkansas Razorbacks, and Minnesota Vikings trifecta by drafting Chris Gragg next year. He's projected to the the top TE in the SEC and was the same year (medical redshirt in 2009) Greg and Jarius at Warren. Their high school team beat the piss out of everyone they played.
There are a few OL we should grab. Even if Schwartz, Johnson & Fusco take the open spots, we still need depth at those positions. Plus we haven't see how they will perform in their roles with our scheme.
Again, not fond of Loadholt at all. Too many penalties & gives up too many sacks.
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
Does Load give up the sacks or does the TE that is over there that is supposed to help him.
In the end, our OL is set, regardless of how you still don't like it and I think it will be fine. What I still want to know is what (how fricken many) schemes will our O-Line coach run this year, 1, 2, 3, 4????? My guess, you cut that down to 2 and you won't see as many penalties out of a guy like Load.
If you don't, my guess, you will be beeeyyyyatching this time next year on how bad a pick kalil was because of the number of penalties we see out of him.
In the end, it won't because of talent (i.e. Load) that these guys won't perform, it will be because of coaching. Nothing more, nothing less, regardless of what you seem to think. (....snicker....)Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
LOL, Mel Kiper.......You crack me up.
Here's a few things to chew on....
a. How many of those G's still there were projected to start this year? Couldn't be many because most sites had only 3 as potential/imediate starters. In the end, those guys that were sitting there wouldn't beat out Degeare anyways, why draft one. Continue to develop the young talent you drafted last year and the year before instead of wasting a pick on talent that is at least 2 or 3 years behind what you have.
b. Why draft a T? Are you ready to give up on Load and if so why? Penalties? Sacks from his side that were given up when he pulled inside to the A and B gap leaving a TE alone?
In the end, we have lots of talent on the OL. Question is, do we have the coaching staff that can continue their development and if not, why continue to draft talent that will, in the end, let ole Singer down?
What you should do, is instead of looking at Kipers "Big Board" (I crack up just typing that) you should look at who was there 5 - 10 picks below what we took. Then you could get a discussion going on what/why/who they should have taken.
I for one trust what the teams did more than I trust some yutz like Kiper.
Available players...
WR Toon (I still like the WR's we got).
ILB JM Johnson.
DT J Chapman
Then and only then do you get to a G that could in anyway maybe make sense and that was a undersized, minimal reps and very few as a starter or a T that is nothing more than a TE/DE converted to OT that is a big reach and a project.
Adam Gettis Draft Profile
Brandon Mosley Draft Profile
Again, Kiper be damned (LOL), you weren't going to get a OLmen there that was of any value and not one that could come in and start right away.
Instead they got a damn nice looking H-back that can come in and provide instant help as a blocking FB, a pass catching TE and most importantly, a player that comes onto the field that causes the D-coord to question his package/play call that is currently in (Run or is it a Pass).
Mix that in with a cat, that if he is healthy (most say he is) can not only stretch the field but also provide a target as a redzone threat, work the sideline (to tapper) and if necessary, stretch the field a bit. Hell, that doesn't even get into how good he is (and loves) to block in the running game.
Completing the package you started with by adding a nice fit for the scheme that can/will give Percy some help on the outside and in the slot with both of them on the field, or even give Percy a rep or two off both on offense as well as as a returner.
Seriously, not sure what your seeing, but I'm seeing alot of help here that will help Ponder not only as weapons, but as cats who will help the OL both in blocking as well as targets that can get open right away on 3 steps drops that will, in the end, help the OL in pass protection.
......LOL...Kiper....OG's....OT's........You really cracked me up and had me going with that one my friend.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

NASCAR says weather forecasts showed an improved chance of a dry window to get the race completed if it is run under the lights, explaining its decision to delay the start of the Daytona 500 until 7 p.m. Eastern time on Monday.
Despite a dry early morning in Daytona, rain returned at around 9 a.m. and is expected to continue into the afternoon. Rather than making fans wait in vain for hours, NASCAR also pinned its hopes on getting the first Monday Daytona 500 in history to run in a more favorable schedule than when it was initially planned for noon. Weather permitting, the new start time could boost TV ratings for the rain-delayed event and even give attendance figures a push for those fans still around the Daytona area.
"We believe this is a reasonable expectation," said NASCAR President Mike Helton. "We also believe, in the modern world, with the technology that we have to interpret weather, forecast it and try to stay on top of it in a reasonable amount of time, that having everyone sit around and wait for several hours up until a point we have more confidence that we can run the race. It was more prudent to do it this way."
Although NASCAR hopes to get the race to run its full distance, once the field completes 101 laps the race could be called official. This year there's a $200,000 bonus for the driver leading the race at the halfway mark.
The Daytona 500 was scheduled a week later than usual this season in order to prevent a possible clash with the NFL's Superbowl.

"The quality was great, the printing was consistent, and the postcards arrived earlier than expected. We are really happy with how they turned out and have gotten lots of compliments from friends and family!"
"These looked beautiful! My only comment would be that the text size on the back was small and hard to read. Definitely make the text as big as possible."
"This save the date was perfect for my upcoming destination wedding! I have gotten so many compliments from family and friends about how great they look. The design and ordering process was so easy and they came in 3 days early!"
"The paper and printing of the postcard is better from what I imagine it. It surpassed my expectations. The shipping was very fast, and usually shippings to Puerto Rico take longer. The design is just what we wanted and the website is very user friendly in helping you making your card. Thank you so much!"

However, each store may not have the luxury of its own in-house visual merchandiser. Instead, one visual merchandiser or a team of visual merchandisers may travel from store to store in a chain, covering specific areas of the country. For any major promotions, such as Christmas and sales, other visual merchandisers may be drafted in to help. However, visual merchandising is usually undertaken by just one individual. Working for an area manager, the visual merchandiser in a chain will be recruited through the firm's The flagship store in a chain--usually the largest and most prominent--often has the most elaborate window displays. Because they often vary in size, individual regional stores will have window schemes tailor-made to suit the size of the windows. Budgetary constraints may also mean that they rely on more economical and simpler window schemes, such as printwork that may form a backdrop for the product, which can be installed by just one visual merchandiser.

Transport, monitoring, and successful brain MR imaging in unsedated neonates. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 18175110 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Neonatal cerebral MR imaging is a sensitive technique for evaluating brain injury in the term and preterm infant. In term encephalopathic infants, MR imaging reliably detects not only the pattern of brain injury but might also provide clues about the timing of injury. In premature infants, MR imaging has surpassed US in the detection of white matter injury, a common lesion in this population. Concerns remain about the safety and transport of sedated neonates for MR examination to radiology suites, which are usually located at a distance from neonatal intensive care units. We present our own institutional experience and guidelines used to optimize the performance of cerebral MR examinations in neonates without sedation or anesthesia. |

Tunechi was the next guest on to join Jim Rome on Showtime to discuss a vast array of topics. In this excerpt from their recent interview, Weezy discusses Brett Favre showing concern to him during his prison stint as well as how he was able to get through time in prison. The two then jump into rappers he think that have the talent to succeed in music which he lists out Shaquille O'Neal and Deion Sanders as the only two he thought that were passionate about music.
Jim Rome brought up the current state of the NFL which Weezy had to speak on defense being too watered down in this day of age in comparison now to how it was for him growing up when players had more freedom before the higher-ups ruined the game.

[The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: 9.19.99]
Be prepared: A list of do's
By Marilyn Geewax
Atlanta Journal-Constitution Staff Writer
Washington -- Don't panic, but get prepared. While the nation's basic infrastructure will function after Jan. 1, authorities say the Y2K computer bug is sure to cause some problems. The power could go out in one community, while the water system falters in another and traffic lights malfunction in still another. Because no one can say with certainty which systems might fail, "the basic message we are giving people is ... be prepared for an emergency," said Red Cross spokeswoman Leslie Credit. Start your preparations by figuring out who is going to be in your household between Dec. 31 and mid-January, and what each person's special needs will be. Then lay out a strategy for making sure everyone can stay hydrated, healthy and warm for up to two weeks. These are among the recommendations being made by mainstream agencies:
Local providers typically keep water flowing by using pumps and valves controlled by microprocessors and chips. Computers also regulate various aspects of water treatment, such as the addition of chlorine. In addition, Y2K-related power outages could cause a loss of heat that would allow pipes to freeze and burst.

Emergency Food and Water Supplies
If an earthquake, hurricane, winter storm or other disaster ever strikes your community, you might not have access to food, water and electricity for days, or even weeks. By taking a little time now to store emergency food and water supplies, you can provide for your entire family.
This brochure was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Community and Family Preparedness Programs which provides information to help families prepare for all types of disasters.
Stocking water reserves and learning how to purify contaminated water should be among your top priorities in preparing for an emergency. You should store at least a two-week supply of water for each member of your family.

You'll note that we add a pan of water to the oven along with the bread. This water will steam during baking, and it's this steam that allows the yeast to work longer than usual in the dough, creating a larger loaf.

2 cups water
1. Place the cereal in a large bowl, and pour the boiling water on top. Stir, and let it stand until the cereal cools to between 105 degrees F. and 115 degrees F., about 15 or 20 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the yeast over the cereal and stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until the yeast begins to foam, about 5 minutes.
3. Add 1 cup of the unbleached white flour to the cereal, along with the oil, sugar, and salt, and stir until smooth. Mix in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, alternating between unbleached white and whole wheat, to form the dough. Add up to 1/4 cup more unbleached white flour if needed. Cover the dough with a clean dishtowel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about ten minutes, adding more flour if it's sticky.
5. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, turning it over in the oil, and cover with the dishtowel. Let the dough rise until it's doubles in size, about 1 hour.
6. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 3 to 4 minutes, then shape into a 12 x 4-inch loaf. Sprinkle a baking sheet with 2 teaspoons of the seed mixture and place the loaf on top of the seeds. Cover the dough with the dishtowel and let it rise until almost doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes. At this point, the dough, when pressed with a finger, should dent rather than fill back in.
7. Set one of the oven racks in the center of the oven and one just below the center. Place a baking pan on the lower rack and preheat the oven to 425degreesF. Brush the dough with a little water and sprinkle with the remaining seed mixture. Using a sharp knife, cut 3 slashes across the top of the loaf. Pour 2 cups of water into the hot pan on the lower rack in the oven (water will steam) immediately place the baking sheet with the loaf in the oven.
8. Bake the loaf until a tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool.
