Why You Need a Hedge Fund CRM
Transparency is the buzzword of 2010 and, rightly so, investors expect it -- make that, demand it. As a result, nearly every hedge fund product is touting its ability to provide greater, faster, better transparency. I'll try to avoid that in this post and instead focus on a budding buzz-phrase – investor relationship management or hedge fund CRM as we like to call it.
Yes, I know everyone's heard of Salesforce.com, but we're talking about a CRM application that is built specifically for hedge funds. As a tool that supports investor relations, a hedge fund CRM gives funds the ability to centralize all of their investor data, including contacts, documents and correspondence while also allowing investors to access fund information at any time, including transaction history, account balance statements and other investment data.
With today's intense capital-raising landscape, a tool like this seems like a no-brainer, right? The reality is that many firms, particularly smaller ones, think a CRM app is out of their league or unnecessary. But the truth is that funds of all sizes need an efficient system for managing their contacts, prospects and clients.
So what should you look for in a hedge fund CRM?
Integration is one of the most important features of any CRM. These applications should not create more problems or require more time than employees have to devote. CRMs generally come fully integrated with key applications, i.e. Microsoft Outlook, which lends to more flexibility and less time and money spent on coordination between multiple applications.
CRMs also act as great sales and marketing tools for hedge funds. You'll want to be sure it has:
Mass Emailing: Most applications come with mass emailing capabilities, which allow funds to quickly and easily communicate with all investors and potential investors, while also giving investors the immediate information they require.
Pipeline Management: Funds can also manage their sales pipeline and create performance estimates, among other things, all from one platform.
- Investor Portal: Another increasingly popular feature within CRMs is an investor portal or Extranet – a secure site where investors can log in to download specific reports made available by the fund. By giving investors easy access to relevant documents and reports, funds can increase confidence and satisfy growing demands.
In today's marketplace, when competition for investors is more difficult than ever, a CRM might be just the thing an investor is looking for in a fund. It can be seen as a true investment in a firm's business, in its appearance and professionalism. When it all boils down, operating with a hedge fund CRM and eliminating disorganized spreadsheets and Word documents could be what sets your firm apart from the rest.

Evolutionary Psychology and the Evolution of Error, or, Why are Professors so Overconfident? |
Professor of Philosophy, Concordia University PRESENTED BY Champlain-St. Lawrence College and the Department of Humanities/Philosophy APRIL 17th, 2012 Rooms 347-349 from 12:10-14:00 Professor Clarke specializes in Cognitive Science, Philosophy of Mind and Experimental Philosophy, as well as Philosophy of Science. He is the author of Reconstructing Reason and Representation, MIT, 2004. His current research concerns "the role of intuition in philosophy, and the nature and origin of concepts, as seen through the lens of dual process theory in psychology" (Philosophy Department Website, Concordia). |

This interface has for a full decade used brain-derived signals to generate movements of robotic arms, hands and legs in animal experiments. A critical breakthrough occurred last year when two monkeys in our lab learned to exert neural control over the movements of a computer-generated avatar arm that touched objects in a virtual world but also provided an "artificial tactile" feedback signal directly to each monkey's brain. The software allowed us to train the animals to feel what it was like to touch an object with virtual fingers controlled directly by their brain.
The Walk Again consortium—assisted by its international team of neuroscientists, roboticists, computer scientists, neurosurgeons and rehabilitation professionals—has begun to take advantage of these animal research findings to create a completely new way to train and rehabilitate severely paralyzed patients in how to use brain-machine interface technologies to regain full-body mobility. Indeed, the first baby steps for our future ceremonial kicker will happen inside an advanced virtual-reality chamber known as a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment, a room with screens projected on every wall, including the floor and ceiling. After donning 3-D goggles and a headpiece that will noninvasively detect brain waves (through techniques known as electroencephalography—EEG—and magnetoencephalography), our candidate kicker—by necessity a lightweight teenager for this first iteration of the technology—will become immersed in a virtual environment that stretches out in all directions. There the youngster will learn to control the movements of a software body avatar through thought alone. Little by little, the motions induced in the avatar will increase in complexity and will ultimately end with fine-motor movements such as walking on a changing terrain or unscrewing a virtual jelly jar top.
Plugging into Neurons
The mechanical movements of an exoskeleton cannot be manipulated as readily as those of a software avatar, so the technology and the training will be more complicated. It will be necessary to implant electrodes directly in the brain to manipulate the robotic limbs. We will need not only to place the electrodes under the skull in the brain but also to increase the number of neurons to be "read" simultaneously throughout the cortex. Many of the sensors will be implanted in the motor cortex, the region of the frontal lobe most readily associated with the generation of the motor program that is normally downloaded to the spinal cord, from which neurons directly control and coordinate the work of our muscles. (Some neuroscientists believe that this interaction between mind and muscle may be achieved through a noninvasive method of recording brain activity, like EEG, but that goal has yet to be practically achieved.)
Gary Lehew in my group at Duke has devised a new type of sensor: a recording cube that, when implanted, can pick up signals throughout a three-dimensional volume of cortex. Unlike earlier brain sensors, which consist of flat arrays of microelectrodes whose tips record neuronal electrical signals, Lehew's cube extends sensing microwires up, down and sideways throughout the length of a central shaft.
The current version of our recording cubes contains up to 1,000 active recording microwires. Because at least four to six single neurons can be recorded from each microwire, every cube can potentially capture the electrical activity of between 4,000 to 6,000 neurons. Assuming that we could implant several of those cubes in the frontal and parietal cortices—areas responsible for high-level control of movement and decision making—we could obtain a simultaneous sample of tens of thousands of neurons. According to our theoretical software modeling, this design would suffice for controlling the flexibility of movement required to operate an exoskeleton with two legs and to restore autonomous locomotion in our patients.

All I could ever ask for in a printer
By NT
from Toronto, Ontario
This printer is wireless- that is awesome. The only connection is to my telephone line to send and receive fax.It prints and copies in colour and black and white as desired.It has a scanner too. It is a bit large but not very heavy. I can attach a USB drive to print files and to receive fax as well. I am happy with this printer for the price. I happily told friends about it.

For the Da Vincis of the digital age, sharing ideas is crucial. This generation of creative types, whether in web graphics, product design, or industrial design, find inspiration in many places. Where better to start than one's contemporaries? While fashion and costume design bedazzle our eyes on screen and stage, interior design books and other decorative arts books give us an inside look (literally) at the wealth of knowledge of the visual visionaries that have come before.

Secrets Of The Moon
The revelation of Secrets of the Moon was an inadvertent one. Many moons ago (ha!), I was working through an arduous Antaeus infatuation, which began with with a late-to-the-party discovery of Cut Your Flesh and Worship Satan and ended abruptly with release of Blood Libels. Yeah, it was a brief affair, and in the midst of it, I had taken to slogging through the dank, cultish world of Myspace blogging. Eventually, I stumbled upon the morbid tale of what would be Antaeus' final tour. By the band's account, it didn't go well (by my deduction, sucking live was among their myriad issues), and they subsequently threw in the towel, forsaking one of the basic tenets of metaldom.
So, what's the point of this rant? Well, the band that Antaeus was opening for on this ill-fated tour was none other than Secrets of the Moon. Through a mess of convoluted bullshit, the band's 2006 effort Antithesis revealed itself to me, and what a surprise it was. Essentially the polar opposite of Antaeus' raw cacophony, Secrets of the Moon specialized in a striking, crisp brand of mid-paced black metal. Chunky, groovy, and accessible, Antithesis boasted meaty riffs, a hearty guitar tone, and stoic sense of purpose.
Three years later, the band offers up Privilegivm, and the only trait that has carried over from Antithesis is the accessibility, and even that claim is tenuous due to the album's sheer length. Imagine Satyricon--full-on rockstar The Age of Nero Satyricon--slowed down to a doomy, leaden pace. Suck out some of the venom, smack it with an "Enter Sandman" production aestethetic, stretch the song lengths to the eight-minute range, and there you have it: Privilegivm in a nutshell, provided you can scavenge a figurative nutshell with the capacity to contain its obesity.
Architecturally, the album is quite similar to its predecessor. Trouble is, Privilegivm takes about 20 minutes to engage, and even then, its grip is intermittent. "I Maldoror" shows the first glimmer of panache, powered by a nasty swagger and some sinister riffing that would make for a killer three-to-four-minute slicer. But, like the rest of the tracks on this album, it's over seven minutes long, and there's really no reason for it to be. "Harvest" has a great riff that emerges at the 9:30 mark (not a typo), but getting there is either maddening or monotonous, depending on your tolerance level. Quality riffs are in short supply, tempo changes are practically non-existent, and none of these songs build to a true climax, making the hour-long Privilegivm practically impossible to listen to in a single sitting.
Closer "Shepherd" is the album's highlight, in spite of the mushy attempt at clean vocals. A bastardized blend of "My Friend of Misery" and "Planet Caravan," this song boasts more self-contained creativity than the previous 50 minutes combined. Hopefully the band has the cajones to keep rolling with this expansion in scope, as to entertain anything less could seriously jeopardize their appeal.
It's obvious that Secrets of the Moon are attempting to exude a hypnotic, soundtrack-ish vibe, similar to that of Rotting Christ or even a less-bombastic Septic Flesh. They fail. The blunted Bob Rock-ness of the album negates any and all attempt at recreating the sinister, foreboding atmosphere that Antithesis wore so well. Privilegivm boasts fluidity and precision in spades, but it lacks crucial quantities of heart, soul, and malice--qualities paramount to their chosen path.

True Blood Jewelry Designer Wants to be a Vampire - Exclusive Interview
Filed under: Jewelry
Luxist: Do you like True Blood?
Udi Behr: I love True Blood! I don't do anything I don't love.
L: What's your background? Where are you from?
UB: My background is very confusing. My father is Dutch, my mother is English, and they met in Israel, so I was born and raised in Israel. I moved to New York 26 years ago on Halloween Day.
L: Perfect.
UB: My first night in New York was the Village on Halloween night.
L: How old were you?
UB: I was 23.
L: Oh my gosh, that must have been the best night of your life.
UB: Exactly -- if you ask me what happened, this is all because of that first night in New York. I blame it all on the first night in New York! I live near the village today, and I still remember what I saw 26 years ago, but I don't remember what I saw last year.
L: So your True Blood designs are based around the infinity symbol?
UB: The infinity symbol and two fangs that link into it. If you look at my line, a couple of the specific iconic shapes are teardrops of blood with rubies, I'm doing the 8, eternity, and the chains. I use either leather or stainless steel, because vampires get very damaged if they wear silver, so, just in case Louisiana vampires or Texas vampires want to buy jewelry, tada! They can!
L: So, there's no silver in the collection?
UB: The rings are silver, and the earrings are silver.
L: So the vampires should shy away from those.
UB: Yes -- but there are people who want to protect themselves from vampires, too. Not all vampires are great. But, on a serious note, it's hard to manipulate stainless steel in rings, so all the rings and earrings are silver, and all the chains are stainless steel or leather.
L: So, who's your favorite True Blood character?
UB: That's a good question. Let's see, everybody likes Eric. Everybody wants to be Eric, he's the coolest vampire. He's so cool, you know? He's not in love, he doesn't want a girlfriend, and Tara, I like Tara very much, she's a really cool girl.
L: What do you think of her boyfriend?
UB: Well, for me, he just pisses me off every time I go to the gym. It's hard for guys to compete, you know?
L: I would imagine!
UB: I want to be a vampire. That's why I'm doing this. You sleep all day and you party all night! And you live forever! Only one thing: I like to go to the beach.

Today was a much better day than yesterday — and I'm so thankful for that!
Before I headed out to Aldi, the health food store, and Dillon's with Kaitlynn (more on those shopping trips tomorrow!), I threw one batch of dough in the bread machine.
When I got back home, the dough was ready to be rolled out (have I mentioned how much I love my bread machine?!).
Once again, Silas helped me out.
He has the makings of being a really great chef!
We'll see if his interest in cooking continues, but at the rate he's going, he'll soon be quite skilled in the kitchen — which I couldn't be happier about!
Silas intently working on his "cinnamon rolls." Notice how he rolled them up? It was so cute to see him try to do exactly what I did!

- 1 cup plus 1 Tablespoon warm water
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 Tablespoon other oil (olive, canola, etc.)
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups white whole wheat flour (or any combination of bread flour/whole wheat flour)
- 1 scant Tablespoon of instant active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 brown sugar or raw sugar + 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon
Icing (I usually just eyeball this, so feel free to adjust measurements. You can also omit the butter and add more milk if you want to lower the fat content — or make the icing a bit more frugal!):
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
- 4 tablespoons (or less) butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Put ingredients in bread machine in the order recommended by your bread machine model. Run the short dough cycle (45 minutes).
When dough is done, roll out into a rectangle and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture on top and spread around evenly.
Roll dough up and slice into cinnamon rolls.
To freeze: Put uncooked cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet and stick in the freezer for 1-2 hours.When rolls are frozen solid, remove from baking sheet and put in an airtight freezer bag.
To thaw: Place the desired number of frozen cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet and thaw overnight on the countertop. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread with icing as soon as the rolls come out of the oven.
You can also bake the rolls, cool, and freeze.

Those cinnamon rolls look delicious, and Silas is such a cute helper!
May 02, 2012 at 09:44 pm
I was hoping there was going to be an alternate recipe for those of us without bread machines.
May 02, 2012 at 09:50 pm
If you don't have a bread machine, you can follow these directions to make the dough:
May 02, 2012 at 10:09 pm
I was wndering the same thing. Unfortunately I dnt have a bread machine either. I knw bought dough would b more expensive but will it work??
May 03, 2012 at 07:58 am
Yes it will. My Mom has made cinnamon rolls that way for decades.

OMG those look so good!!! It doesn't help that I am pregnant though….I think I am going to try this recipe. I'm also off to find any posts you have on "how to freezer cook". I tried to freeze meals with my 2nd baby, but I unfortunately didn't seal them right I think because they spoiled. I want to get it right this time!
May 02, 2012 at 10:03 pm
Thanks for the freezing recommendations! I wasn't sure what to do. Once the rolls are sliced and placed in the pan, are you supposed to let them rise again, or just go ahead and cook or freeze them? Thanks! My first attempt at cinnamon rolls!
May 02, 2012 at 10:12 pm
What a cutie! I want to do cinnamon rolls sometime this challenge too! although it will be hard for my children to watch me put them in the freezer instead of straight in the oven. I just might have to leave a few out to cook right away or their could be an uprising in our home.
May 02, 2012 at 10:13 pm
Thanks for this recipe! I tried the "assemble, slice, freeze, thaw, bake" method with your original cinnamon roll recipe (which we LOVE!!), and it didn't work very well. When I let the rolls thaw in the fridge overnight so I could bake them in the morning, they ended up surrounded by liquid that somehow leached out of the unbaked rolls. I tried to spoon the mystery liquid back onto/into the rolls before putting the pan in the oven, but that didn't really work, and I ended up with somewhat dry rolls surrounded by sticky goo. This happened both times I tried to use that recipe in that way, so I figured I'd need another recipe if I wanted to keep trying that method. If anyone has any idea what happened, how to stop it, and/or if this recipe is likely to do the same thing, I'd sure love to know. The idea of being able to pull out just 5 or 6 rolls to bake is great!
May 02, 2012 at 10:22 pm
Hmm, I wonder if it was the dough or if it was thawing them in the fridge instead of on the countertop?
I experimented with the slice, freeze, thaw, bake for this recipe and it worked without a hitch. I didn't wait overnight, though (just thawed for an hour or so today after I'd frozen them) so let me know if you have any issues.
May 03, 2012 at 06:58 am
Thanks for the tip! I plan to try this recipe soon. And I may try the other recipe again and just freeze a few rolls to try thawing on the counter instead of overnight in the fridge — I'm sure the length of time does have something to do with it. We've shared those cinnamon rolls (freshly rolled and baked) with lots of people, and everyone (EVERYONE!) raves about them.

I love everything you do in your bread machine. What kind of bread machine do you have/recommend?
May 02, 2012 at 10:19 pm
Silas looks like he has grown from yesterdays pics!!! Isn't that crazy how they shoot up overnight?
May 02, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Question about coconut oil. The one I bought is more solid looking substance. Is that normal? Do I need to melt what I need before adding it to the recipe?
May 02, 2012 at 10:24 pm
It will be more solid, but it should soften when it's at room temperature (similar to the consistency of butter or softer). As long as it's somewhat softened, you shouldn't need to melt it before sticking it in the recipe as it will melt and mix in with the bread machine cycle.
May 02, 2012 at 10:35 pm
May 03, 2012 at 05:40 pm
Are there any substitutions for Coconut oil?
May 03, 2012 at 05:46 pm
Someone said that they successfully used olive oil today.
May 03, 2012 at 06:10 pm
I now see later posts that you say don't worry about substituting, but instead, use a different recipe. I will do that. Then I will go buy coconut oil for the future. I just got the bread machine for $5 at a garage sale! (It came from someone I know, so I'm not too grossed out by that….but if you think that's totally unsafe and gross, please let me know!) And I'm going to make my first batch of dough today! I'm going to try the cinnamon rolls!!!! SO excited! So do you buy sandwich bread? Or do you use the bread made from the machine for that?

What if u don't have bread machine ??
May 02, 2012 at 10:48 pm
I recently started letting the bread machine mix the dough for my bread and then baking it in the oven. It is perfect! I am so glad I decided to finally try it out. Your cinnamon rolls look yummy! I have yet to try freezing those. Maybe before the month is over…
May 02, 2012 at 10:54 pm
For food safety, food should never be left at room temperature to thaw.
I always bake my cinnamon rolls right from the freezer. It only takes a few minutes more to bake.-
May 02, 2012 at 10:58 pm
I've found that they don't rise/bake as well if you don't let them rise at room temperature or in a warm place.
May 03, 2012 at 12:23 am
There's nothing in that bread that's going to rot or spoil, especially over night. There isn't meat or dairy. I mean you'd normally leave the rolls to sit a rise for a while before cooking them, that's certainly not going to make you die.
May 03, 2012 at 07:48 am
Bread doughs rise at room temperature all the time. The yeast needs to grow! It's not a safety issue.
May 03, 2012 at 09:39 am
Numerous foods are left at room temperature to ferment and rising dough is a type of fermentation. Please be careful with using the word "never" in blanket statements.
May 03, 2012 at 02:55 pm
I am not talking about when dough is rising. It's the part where a product with raw eggs is being left out, overnight, in the "danger zone" of 41f – 135f. That is where there are concerns. The safest place to thaw would be in the refrigerator.
May 03, 2012 at 02:57 pm
These don't have eggs in them so I think there shouldn't be an issue. Also, just to clarify, leaving them out is to thaw them and so that they rise (since that part is omitted before these are frozen).
I hope that helps explain things better.
May 03, 2012 at 02:58 pm
Btw, I realize there are no eggs in the recipe Crystal has posted, but there is dairy.

I have got to learn how to use my bread machine. It was my grandmothers, and it is so old that you can't get the manual online. All I know how to do is make a loaf of bread. I don't know how to use any other settings. But I really want to try this recipe.
May 03, 2012 at 07:01 am
Oh yes! Please do see if there is a setting just for mixing/kneading/rising dough, and try that out! I never actually bake bread in my machine, but using it to make dough saves soooo much time and makes it easy to have homemade bread, pizza crust, rolls, etc. on hand regularly. I hope it works for you and that you love it!

May 02, 2012 at 11:06 pm
GAh! How I miss my bread machine!
May 03, 2012 at 01:34 am
I tackled muffins today – 36 blueberry struesel, 36 of these donut-like ones I found on lintersst earlier this week and 30 corn muffin / yellow cake blend muffins. Plus a birthday cake. I'm exhausted! But I got 3 dozen muffins into the freezer plus happy hubby and kids today with the other muffins. Added these to 3 pans of banana bread we made yesterday and now frozen. Yay! My goal tomorrow is either homemade bread or life as mom's slab apple pie. . We'll see how I recover overnight from today -I'm 30 weeks pregnant with baby #7.
May 03, 2012 at 05:12 am
Your cinnamon rolls look beautiful!!! Mine always end up a sticky, awkward mess Maybe I need to try again!
May 03, 2012 at 05:14 am
Thanks for the recipe! I just came on here to hunt down your cinnamon roll recipe…and here it's the first post!! Can't wait to make them. Thanks!!
May 03, 2012 at 05:34 am
i am sure this question has been asked before and i missed the answer… can you substitute the coconut oil in your recipes? i hate coconut and have this fear that all i would taste is coconut when i eat it. i am liking all your series! thanks
May 03, 2012 at 06:11 am
I made 33 applesauce muffins instead of the cinnamon rolls. I may try them in another day or so. I also cut up the banana bread for the freezer. I am set. I worked from 4:30 pm until 6:30 pm last night making muffins, dinner, cutting up banana bread, and making dump cake in the crock pot. I also put today's dinner in the crock pot to cook plus made 5 lunches (which I do every day anyway). I felt quite accomplished after working all day as well.
May 03, 2012 at 06:18 am
making these today! i do not have a bread machine so i compared the link for the dough recipe to my mom's and they are pretty similar! i hope to get my 5 year old to help. looking forward to seeing how they turn out (hopefully as tasty as yours!)
May 03, 2012 at 06:30 am
These look so delicious! What type of bread machine do you use?
May 03, 2012 at 06:47 am
Crystal were you able to double the recipe and fit all ingredients in your bread machine or did you make 2 separate batches? Thanks.
May 03, 2012 at 07:07 am
Well I got started yesterday afternoon. I made 2 loaves of your banana bread but I switched out apples for bananas. Then I made a double batch of dairy free waffles. I didn't have a chance to last night but this morning I am going to post about it on my blog and link up.
May 03, 2012 at 07:09 am
Do you make the icing ahead of time and freeze that separately? Do you portion it out before freezing? What size portions?
May 03, 2012 at 07:40 am
I am going to give these a try, I followed your link to the dough recipe the other day and the website was quite adamant that using coconut oil was the best. So my question is about coconut oil. I live in the UK so I guess things will be a bit different. It is not something I can get in my regular supermarket. An online search brings up a variety of choices, mainly from health food shops. It isn't cheap, the best deal I seem to be able to get is from somewhere like Amazon where is it £8 (around $13) for 500g (17oz) . So if I'm going to invest I wonder if there are any top tips out there for the best sort to go for, country of origin, amounts etc.
May 03, 2012 at 07:41 am
I wouldn't make a special effort to get coconut oil. Instead, I'd use this recipe:
May 04, 2012 at 09:11 pm
I use this recipe, Lindsay, from All Recipes:
It's super simple and doesn't contain any "abnormal" ingredients. I understand not wanting tons of random ingredients around – or when coconut oil is so expensive or unavailable. I think you'll like that recipe I linked above!
May 03, 2012 at 07:41 am
May 03, 2012 at 07:47 am
Thats great, thanks, Canola Oil is I think the equivalent of Rapeseed oil which I love using so that is perfect. We'll see how they turn out
May 03, 2012 at 08:05 am
I'm doing the challenge one day behind you so i can see how you've done something. So far, so good. Cinnamon rolls today!
May 03, 2012 at 08:05 am
I love these great ideas. It's so precious to see little ones helping in the kitchen. I can't wait until my little boy is old enough to help with cooking!
May 03, 2012 at 08:15 am
Okay I am inspired to use my bread machine that I received as a wedding gift three years ago for the first time! This will also be my first time with cinnamon rolls so I have a couple of very basic questions:
When you roll out the dough into a rectangle, how big do you make it? And when you cut the rolls how to you avoid squishing the whole roll as you cut?
I am loving this series! We are following along a day behind so I have two loaves of banana bread scheduled to make after work today for the freezer plus a batch of banana muffins for tomorrow's breakfast since the oven will already be hot:)
May 03, 2012 at 08:20 am
I just eyeball it — maybe 12in x 20in or so? The thinner you make it, the more filling there will be.
And I just use a serrated knife to carefully cut the rolls. Don't squish, just "saw" pieces off with the knife, if that makes sense. You can also floss the rolls:
May 04, 2012 at 08:43 am
Thanks Crystal – for doing this series and for taking the time to respond to our questions!

I don't have a short dough cycle on my bread machine, will the regular dough cycle be okay?
May 03, 2012 at 08:32 am
Yes, it should be.
May 04, 2012 at 07:32 am
My dough cycle is an 1 and 40 minutes. Do you think we could just stop halfway through, or should we let it go the whole way?
May 04, 2012 at 07:33 am
Meant to say 1 hour and 40 minutes!!!
May 04, 2012 at 07:36 am
You could probably stop it halfway through. I'm guessing it has a "rise" portion of the cycle. If so, the dough should be mixed up by then, so you could probably stop it then.
May 04, 2012 at 07:48 am
Thanks so much. I have frozen dinners before, but never breakfasts and so I am excited about this week's venture. Starting the dough now and then while that is mixing I'll make the waffles!
May 04, 2012 at 08:01 am
Crystal, you are so right! I just found my manual and for those of you who don't have a short cycle, I'm assuming yours will be the same. For the last 56 minutes mine rises, and then it mixes again for 4 minutes, so I can just cut off the last hour! Woohoo!

Yummy! I am going to make these in a little bit. They look delicious.
May 03, 2012 at 08:54 am
I wasn't able to make any bread yesterday due to being busier than I originally planned. Today I'm planning on doing two back-to-back batches. I won't freeze these four loaves, since they'll carry us through the rest of the week until Monday. Then Friday and Saturday I'm planning on making bread to freeze.
Hopefully I can get a little ahead of the curve and not be constantly running out. Our grocery budget is super thin right now so homemade bread makes up a larger-than-normal share of our diets. I'm loving this series, even if I haven't actually followed along exactly! -
May 03, 2012 at 08:57 am
Making these today. I spent yesterday having lunch and shopping with my 28 year old daughter. She called and said she wanted her Mommy. I think her pregnant self is on a hormone high as she was not like this before
May 03, 2012 at 09:17 am
Bread machine is awesome! I need to be on the look out for a good deal so I can get one.
Thanks for this post,

May 03, 2012 at 09:27 am
Yesterday I made your whole wheat chocolate chip cookies! They are one of my favorite cookie recipes!
May 03, 2012 at 09:31 am
My dough was sooooo sticky! But I just realized that this recipe is different from the "Bread machine cinnamon rolls" on your recipe tab under 'from my kitchen' at the top. Ugh. Better luck next time, I guess.
May 03, 2012 at 09:36 am
I got mine done. I usually bake mine before I put them in the freezer. But I will have to try to freeze them first then bake next time. My bread machine broke so I used my mixer to mix up the dough. It works out quite well.
May 03, 2012 at 09:44 am
I made banana bread and strawberry sour cream bread yesterday, making two large loaves and two small ones. I cut the larger loaves into individual pieces, then froze them in small portions for later. I gave the two small loaves for a birthday present to a girl friend at a party last night and they were a big hit!! Thanks for the inspiration!
May 03, 2012 at 10:27 am
This seems like a lot of work for a few cinnamon rolls if you don't have a bread machine. I may try one day, though. I baked waffles instead.
May 03, 2012 at 10:48 am
Your rolls look beautiful. I always lose half the filling when cut mine. Any tips????
May 03, 2012 at 11:47 am
I can't use coconut oil due to tree nut allergy. Will using only olive oil mess up the recipe ?
May 03, 2012 at 12:25 pm
While reading these posts I thought to myself, I would love to follow along, but today is the third. I like starting things right at the begining (I think that is my excuse for procrastinating, but oh well). Then I realized that Tuesday I made stuffed peppers for dinner, and made an extra meal for the freezer. Yesterday I made two pizzas for dinner, before they were baked Grandma called to say she took the two older kids to McD's. Well, only need one pizza, so the other one went in the freezer.
I guess what I am trying to say with all this rambling is that I was so excited to find out that I was unknowingly 'filling my freezer.' This morning I made chocolate chip banana muffins, and instant oatmeal banana bread for the freezer. Three days down! Thanks for the challenge! -
May 03, 2012 at 12:41 pm
Thanks for the inspiration, Crystal. I made two double-batches of muffins and waffles for the freezer this morning. While those were going, I browned 7 lbs of ground beef and packaged it up in crockpot-friendly meals like sloppy joes,e tc. I made a bag of taco meat and a shepherds pie for tonight. It feels great to be ahead!
May 03, 2012 at 12:42 pm
Just got this dough out of the bread machine and it was crumbly and didn't look like it had risen. I used 2 C whole wheat and 1 C white flour and added a t. of gluten since I didn't have bread flour. I wonder why it didn't turn out.
May 03, 2012 at 12:48 pm
I'm so sorry it was crumbly!
It may have been the gluten — I'm not sure on that since I never use gluten. You can just use regular flour for this. No bread flour needed.
Did you try adding more water to it — that might work?
Also, did you make sure the water was warm enough so that the oil would melt and the yeast would dissolve?
May 03, 2012 at 12:54 pm
Thanks Crystal. I am adding a little water and frying it up for scones. I used hot tap water – it may not have been hot enough. I make bread almost weekly and usually take the water temp with a candy thermometer. I won't skip that step again!
May 03, 2012 at 12:54 pm
May 03, 2012 at 02:58 pm
I have never used gluten in my bread machine when I am using regular flour. I used to buy only bread flour, but I could rarely find a sale on it so I stopped. Any recipe I use white or wheat flour and I have never had a problem with the dough or the bread not rising. Just something to try.
May 03, 2012 at 12:48 pm
May 03, 2012 at 01:15 pm
I followed the recipe closely but half cup melted butter seemed like way to much. There was no way I could brush it all on. There was a lot of filling too. I think I could have doubled the dough recipe and then it might have worked out. I still got the dozen rolls for the freezer but they didn't look pretty. Anyone else have this problem?
May 03, 2012 at 01:31 pm
looks delicious! The OCD in me really wants to rip the sticker off your machine though
May 03, 2012 at 01:37 pm
Don't worry, I tried since I'm that kind of person, too.
But it was SO stubborn that I could tell it was going to be a sticky, icky, ugly mess if I took it off. So I left it on because I knew the sticky, icky half-pulled off sticker would bother me more than having the sticker on it would!
May 03, 2012 at 01:37 pm
May 03, 2012 at 02:21 pm
I'm curious about the switch-up with the doughs. I've made your original "Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls" multiple times (LOVE them-except I do use half whole-wheat and half all purpose). Do you prefer the taste of the "new" dough. Is there much difference?
And thanks so much for this series. I already had a couple of loaves of banana bread and a couple of batches of cinnamon rolls in the freezer but today I am making the waffles (waffle sticks actually-my boys love them in "stick" form). I ran out a couple of weeks ago and have been meaning to make more. Your series is the perfect reminder to make more waffles!-
May 03, 2012 at 10:05 pm
I was also wondering why the change in recipes. Now I can't decide which to make!!
May 03, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Mostly just because I like to try new recipes sometimes — even if I think I already have a recipe that I think is a winner. Every once in awhile, I find that a new recipe beats out an old standby.
I need to make the other recipe again so that I can compare them to this recipe. After making four batches of these, I'm thinking that the other recipe is a bit more time-consuming and calorie-laden, but it's also better. I'm not completely sure how well it would freeze and thaw, though, since it has raw egg in the dough.
If anyone makes both, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

My very first batch of anything in my bread maker is in the oven right now!!! I was wondering if you could do a post on any tips for beginners. I made the cinnamon rolls–any tips for cutting the dough? It seemed to smoosh down when I cut it. Just didn't look quite as perfect as yours…..
May 04, 2012 at 01:48 am
These look amazingly good. I have the exact same bread machine and I also LOVE it! It was a little pricy, but I have never had a problem with it and I really like the loaf shape too.
May 04, 2012 at 09:52 am
I don't have a bread machine. Can I make these with store bought dough, or is there something else you think might work? Thanks!
May 10, 2012 at 07:04 am
I'd cook them first if using store bought dough and freeze after cooking. I don't think you should refreeze dough. Not sure if you can find "Sweet" dough as this has a bit more sweetner than regular bread dough. I've made them with regular bread dough on vacation and by the time you add all the brown sugar no one could tel the difference. Could use the frozen raisin bread if your family like raisins. Pricey though I think.
How do I keep the family out of them If I cook them first? Do they make a mouse trap that big?!

I don't have a bread machine and I used a sweet dough recipe and I tripled my recipe. I also made some yummy lemon cheese rolls.
May 05, 2012 at 09:41 pm
What kind of bread machine do u have?? I have been wanting to buy one but just haven't been able to decide which.
May 10, 2012 at 07:07 am
Try Freecycle first and ask around. My first 3 bread machines have been hand me downs. If you have friends willing to loan them, it would give you an opportunity to try different brands/styles and see which you prefer.
I use them mostly for bread dough. The requests here are now for "Homemade rolls" with pulled pork, chicken sandwiches, stew….etc. Spoiled bunch!

I just got a bread machine and this will be my first time using it. I don't have a short dough cycle but I have a rapid dough cycle for 58 minutes. Does anyone know if this will make a huge difference?
May 07, 2012 at 09:47 am
Do you go ahead and make the icing and freeze it too? Or make it up when you know you are going to use the rolls?
May 09, 2012 at 07:31 am
Homemade cinnamon rolls can be a cost-effective addition to a brunch or dessert table. Our church just had a ladies dinner which consisted of a variety of appetizers and desserts. I made up a batch of cinnamon roll dough and cut the batch in half, then rolled out each half to make mini cinnamon rolls. One batch made 3 dozen mini rolls! I used 3 batches to quickly make over 100 mini rolls.
If you have the freezer space, you can make these ahead of time and freeze in layers on parchment paper. Then pull them out on party day, let them thaw and rise, and pop them in the oven!
May 15, 2012 at 08:53 am
Love how you think! Thanks for that great idea……so doing that for a party this weekend. God Bless You!

Ok so I am illiterate when it comes to bread machines but am intrigued however I have 1 quick question; If all I use my machine for is to make the dough do I have to use the bread flour or would all purpose work?
May 16, 2012 at 01:09 pm
I made these for Mother's Day and while they tasted great all the filling came out and was all over the bottom of the pan. I didn't freeze them but cooked them fresh. Maybe they needed to chill for a bit first in the fridge?

A Portage County doctor charged with 17 counts, 16 of which relate to prescription fraud, has pleaded not guilty.
Rick Perkins, 58, of Custer, is accused of prescribing pain pills to his stepson and his stepson's roommate, with the intent of taking the pills himself.
Police became suspicious of Perkins after Plover Police pulled over his stepson, Brian Beyer, and discovered a bottle of pills on the front seat of the car and Beyer's name wasn't on the bottle.
Perkins is free on a $100,000 signature bond. He'll return to court in March.

4/15/2002: Commission Issues New Recommendations, Holds Press Conference on Sudan |
Contact: WHAT: The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom will hold a press conference to release its new recommendations on promoting religious freedom in Sudan. Repeating its view that Sudan is "the world's most violent abuser of the right to freedom of religion and belief," the Commission will call on the Bush administration and Congress to step up efforts to help end that country's 18-year civil war. The fighting has killed some 2 million people and displaced 4 million others. Commissioner David Saperstein will conduct the press conference. WHEN: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 at 2:00 p.m. WHERE: 800 North Capitol Street, NW, Suite 790 (USCIRF office) BACKGROUND: In its latest report, the Commission finds that since last May, the government of Sudan has intensified the deliberate air raids on civilian and humanitarian targets. While the Clinton Administration did take some steps to address the situation, including successfully working to prevent Sudan from taking a seat at the UN Security Council and earmarking aid to communities in southern Sudan and to the political opposition - the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) - these actions fell well short of the comprehensive, sustained campaign that the Commission believes is commensurate with the Sudanese government's abuses. The Commission will urge the Bush Administration to mount such a campaign. Copies of the report will be available at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, March 21 and can be obtained by contacting the Commission's communications department at (202) 523-3240. The report can also be found on the Commission's Web site at www.uscirf.gov.

Liberia's forests, part of the Guinean Forests of West Africa ecosystem, are home to many unique species and deliver essential ecosystem services upon which the country depends. The forests provide food (including bushmeat), fuel wood and building materials. They regulate climate by stocking and sequestering carbon, and ensure quality water provision by minimizing sedimentation and runoff. They ensure quality water provision by minimizing sedimentation and run-off. Forests also play a role in local culture, housing spiritual and sacred sites.
IN DEPTH: Learn more about the role of forests in mitigating climate change.
In an effort to support the Liberian government and local communities in following a development pathway that is based on sustainable use of natural resources and conserves ecosystem services, CI has undertaken a low-carbon economy analysis. The analysis considers the impacts of various policy scenarios to mitigate climate change and provide benefits for Liberians. The results have already generated high levels of interest from the Liberian government, prompting further consideration of the policy actions that would be required to make the Liberian low-carbon economy strategy a reality.
To prove the predicted benefits of implementing a low-carbon economy strategy, CI is also developing a field-level pilot in the East Nimba Nature Reserve (ENNR). The first step in developing the pilot case is to measure the economic benefits to human populations that the ecosystem services from ENNR provide. This analysis focuses on several ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, biodiversity, non-timber forest products, water, and the conservation economy benefits resulting from Nimba's Protected Area status.
The aim is to demonstrate the extent to which people's basic needs like food and water are dependent upon ENNR. These benefits accrue to a wide variety of people, from local residents inside ENNR to residents of far-away places who benefit from the carbon sequestration and biodiversity inside the reserve. This analysis also aims to inform regional and national policymakers of the tradeoffs that are involved in protected area management, using ENNR as an example of how those tradeoffs play out in a specific landscape. ENNR will serve as the pioneering area in moving the national low-carbon economy strategy forward.

I hope everyone's summer is off to a great start.
As I prepare to plan for our very exciting, very long 20 hour drive from Portland Oregon to California. I'm wondering how the heck I'm gonna make it all that time in a van with two very active, nonstop talking girls; and one very focused, for the lack of a better word- driver (my husband).
I should start praying now!
I know road trips are fun, somewhat- ok… at least in theory.
I love my family don't get me wrong- but to much of anything can't be good. ~
Now, unless you love to hear "Are we there yet?" over and over and over again, make sure your kiddies have enough to keep them entertained & busy.
I will have my girls pack their own travel bags with things they love to do to keep themselves occupied during our road trip.
When they have done all they can on their own, then that means my break is over and the creative juices need to kick in.
We begin by playing every car game known to man, proceeded by telling old stories passed down from generation to generation. Then we end with our all time favorite "the make up your own song singing game".
(And of course this will all happen when we are completely tapped out with no where to turn for peace!)
So in planning, preparing and organizing for our trip this month, I've searched and found some very cool and creative ideas to make our road trip more enjoyable and less stressful.
Notice I said LESS. There will be stress; I'm just trying to minimize the amount of it.
Car Organizer
First things first. When planning for a long road trip, make it easy on yourself and purchase an inexpensive small accordion file folder.
Organize and store all the important paper work you're gonna need for your trip.
You can keep your registration, insurance, emergency contact information, maps, directions, receipts, and more inside. You can also choose to label them for easy access.
Have it handy on your passenger seat or in your glove compartment.
You will be very glad you took the time to do this let me tell you.
There's nothing like searching for information you need in a hurry and not finding it.
Travel Light
Packing is one of the most stressful things you can do for a trip; especially when you're doing it for a family of 4 or more; but it really doesn't have to be.
Keep in mind that your on vacation; Less is More!
You don't need six pairs of shoes, trust me; you won't wear them all!
A whole lot of stuff means less space for those treasured purchases you will most likely make. Packing is a fine balance of bringing what you really need without taking too much. Planning ahead and having a really good list will work best here.
Bring anything you absolutely must have, bring coordinated clothing you can mix and match. Don't bring anything that can be bought along the way if you really need it.
Basic necessities is the key!
And because you're traveling with little ones- wash and wear will be your best friend!
Car Trunk Organizer/Snack Section
Traveling with kids as you know can be a challenge. My girls love to snack all day long. Convenience is my middle name… HEY I'M A MOM.
We're supposed to have everything at our fingertips, right?
So I'm making sure I have plenty of snacks and things to keep them occupied.
Items in the back trunk tend to roll around and get lost underneath seats, so it will help a great deal to arrange them in a vinyl catchall or any sort of storage bin.
You can purchase two.
Stock one with plenty of healthy goodies. See Michelle's post about what healthy snacks she takes on a roadtrip and how to stay healthy while traveling. Pack the other bin with emergency items such as a first aid kit, rope, flashlights, blankets, etc.
You will be so happy you did this when it's time to grab something from the trunk & you know EXACTLY where it is.
Kids Back Seat Toy Organizer
How cool would one of these be… A canvas shoe, I mean toy organizer.
This is great for keeping things neat and easy to reach for the kids.
You can purchase an inexpensive 16 inch pocket organizer and cut it in half and hem at the bottom. Put a ribbon loop at the top and hang over the back of the front seat.
You best believe I'm doing this… 20 hours is waaaaayyyyyyy to long to hear, "Can you get me this! Can you get me that!" They can reach out and get it themselves.
The pockets can hold anything from headsets, flashcards, coloring books, DVD'S, pad & pencils, small toys and EVEN a nintendo DS.
You could even make another one for the other seat so each child can have their very own toy organizer!
Movies, Movies, Movies
I would be absolutely CRAZY if I didn't have a stack of movies for my kids to watch. Did I say 20 hours??? Yes, even with the frequent stops you will make along the way kids need to be entertained at all times; at least mine do anyway.
Before we leave you best believe I will pack the car with their favorite dvd's and buy some NEW ones that will keep them engaged. Mums the word.
This will be the very first thing on my LIST.
If you are planning a road trip this summer that's 20 hours or 2 hours make sure you PLAN, PREPARE & ORGANIZE yourselves in a way that will make your trip a pleasant one with few stresses; if any.
Here's a quick list I came up with to help keep everyone happy- especially MOMS.
The Perkins Road Trip Packing Check List:
* Lots & Lots & Lots & Lots of DVD's
* Tricks and treats bag (new games, toys, healthy snacks and any other magical distractions)
* Small cooler for upfront and larger cooler in the back filled with refill items (the more food you take the less food you buy)
* First-aid kit (with motion sickness relievers for ME)
* Roadside emergency kit
* Wet wipes, paper towels or napkins (can't leave home without this)
* Trash bags (a must)
* Flashlight(s) and extra batteries
* Cell phone and DVD player charger (not worth going anywhere without this)
* Easy on/off shoes for the entire clan (flip-flops)
* Camera and video camera
* Pillows and blankets
* Toilet paper (Have you ever stopped at a rest stop that's out of TP? Yup- we have)
* Laundry bag for dirty clothes
* Laundry detergent (I believe in wash and wear when I travel)
* Laundry Basket (great for carrying lots of small bags into the hotel room or to the beach)
* Rolls of quarters (for tolls, laundry, gumball machines & meters)
* Duct tape (in case anyone gets out of hand)

MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Early 2011 Optical Drive Cable Replacement
Replace a damaged optical drive cable on your Early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" Unibody.
- Author: Walter Galan
- Difficulty: Moderate
Use this guide to replace the short optical drive ribbon cable connecting the optical drive to the logic board.
- Lower Case 2 steps
- Battery Connector 2 steps
- Optical Drive 6 steps
- Optical Drive Cable 1 step
Tools (continued)
Relevant Parts
Edit Step 3 — Battery Connector ¶
For certain repairs (e.g. hard drive), disconnecting the battery connector is not necessary but it prevents any accidental shorting of electronics on the motherboard. If you do not disconnect the battery connector, please be careful as parts of the motherboard might be electrified.
Use the edge of a spudger to pry the battery connector upwards from its socket on the logic board.
It is useful to pry upward on both short sides of the connector to "walk" it out of its socket.
Edit Step 11 — Optical Drive Cable ¶
Pull the optical drive cable out of the optical drive.
Be sure to pull by the edges of the connector, not by the cable itself.
Remove the two black Phillips #0 screws securing the small metal mounting bracket. Transfer this bracket to your new optical drive or hard drive enclosure.
Comments Comments are onturn off
Step 1 (technically step 9 - replacing the base plate) Apparently one of my screws was a micron or two smaller than the others. This screw belongs to the hole above the optical drive, which is also apparently a couple of microns smaller than the others. It took seven attempts to figure which screw had originally been in that hole; all the other screws were too large, but fitted perfectly everywhere else.
Bizarre much?
nails work pretty well as well...
At first sight I was confused when I read the description at this step, 'cause it seemed that disconnecting the battery connector was optional, in order to eliminate static discharge. While it's a helpful advice in other circumstances (as mentioned as an example changing hard drives), when changing the battery it is not an option - you have to disconnect the battery connector.
It would have been better to mention the optional disconnecting recommendation in a side-note.
Other than that, an excellent guide!
the fact that this step is optional can not be stressed enough. i tried disconnecting the battery and in the process it short circuited which now leaves me with an even more expensive problem than i had before when i just wanted to change hard drives (at least the new hard drive works fine..)
the hard drive changing worked though.
Beware of step 8. Screws strip extremely easily. For some reason, that are extremely tough to get out and the metal is extremely soft so you are likely to screw yourself over real quick even if you use the right screwdriver. Happened to me and now it's impossible for me to take the @$%# thing off so I have to return my HDD bay and deal with having a useless disc drive.
Alex Pascal, · Reply
I got burned here also. Unfortunately iFixit defaults to comments off, so I didn't see this until it was too late.
Yes, and I got stuck on step 8 for this simple task. Is there no way we can get the drive out while leaving the wireless/blueto
Albert Kok, · Reply
I had the same thing happen with the 3.9 mm screw. To remove the drive afterwards I used a 1/16" drill bit to carefully remove the (stripped) screw head. I left most of the screw threads intact, and the remaining "post" is enough to hold the airport/bluetoo
i also screwed the screw, never saw a screw this soft. Still figuring out how to "unlock" it again...
Hmm. well, unfortunately after putting everything back together, my trackpad no longer works, and I can't login to my computer. removing the dual drive caddy and closing it back up returns trackpad functionality, but I really want the extra drive space. Anyone have any suggestions?
Well. I too stripped the head on the left side screw. First I used a cheap #000 screwdriver. Stripped the head and the driver. Not realizing just how bad I had stripped the screw I got a #0000 and the right one came out. I made sure to apply firm downward pressure to minimize slip. The left side was to far gone. So...
I broke the housing. Yep. I'm a brute.
Anyway. I rolled it up out of the case as if I had actually removed the screw. Only to realize I don't have a T6. [facepalm]. I've spent way too much time just getting that #0000. I'll order myself a nice kit for future 'repairs'.
Oh and yes, the bluetooth and wifi work just fine. The right screw and the tight fitting of the housing seem to keep it in place ok.

December 15--Moon |
During this "blue moon" month, we revisited the flight of Apollo 11. It was 40 years ago that Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, an event worth noting. We began by reading Moonshot by Brian Floca. With compelling illustrations and simple language, the book took us back to those exciting times. Life is different on board a rocket ship. Students mixed water with dehydrated powder for a snack as we talked about some of the challenges of eating in space. We watched a short video of the actual moon walk. Click here to view one of the many videos available online. We made and launched our own rockets. Students adjusted the angle of their shots, the shape and number of fins to increase the distance and control of their rockets' flight. Click here for directions to make your own straw rocket.

Snorkeling and Natural History
Miles of coral reefs with white sand beaches, secluded lagoons, sea turtles, sea birds, and clear waters that abound with coral and colorful tropical fish are some of the reasons to visit remote Ulithi Atoll. Located northeast of Yap, Ulithi consists of one of the world's largest lagoons surrounded by 36 tropical isles, four of which are inhabited. A former military base, Ulithi only recently opened for public use and we invite you be pioneers exploring this breathtaking area.
Our 12-day coral sea adventure begins with five days exploring Palau's unique rock islands, beautiful green mushroom-shaped islets set in an azure lagoon. We visit the best shallow water snorkeling sites within the coral lagoon while experiencing the wonder of "rainbow's end."
We then continue to Yap, known as the best place for seeing manta rays on a consistent basis. The reefs and channels surrounding the landmass are home to a spectacular array of fish and corals.
The Yapese and the Ulithi community continue to practice their traditional lifestyle, and our program will include a cultural tour and opportunities to see the local crafts of the island.
From Yap, we fly to the remote coral atoll of Ulithi, home to nesting hawksbill and green sea turtles, coconut crabs, and seabirds such as frigates and boobies. Our comfortable beachfront lodge on Falalop Island offers beach snorkeling, and serves as a base for coral reef snorkeling excursions and day trips to Turtle and Lizard Islands. The idyllic lagoon is teeming with life and the reefs are so pristine that you may be one of the first to have explored them.
Throughout the expedition, we stay in comfortable, double occupancy rooms with private baths. Snorkeling excursions are aboard privately chartered boats. Micronesia is known to have 300 species of corals and 1,000 species of fish, and we will have an opportunity so appreciate some of this region's renowned biodiversity.
Day 1-2:
Day 3-7: Daily snorkeling trips in Palau's reef complex, picnic lunches at Rock Islands' beaches. One day to explore jelly fish lake, and one tour to visit Palau's cultural sights.
Day 8: Fly to Yap. Afternoon snorkel to search for manta rays in the new Manta Ray Sanctuary.
Day 9: Yap/Ulithi. Afternoon beach snorkeling.
Day 10-12: Full days for snorkeling in pristine waters with many reefs still untouched. We will likely be the only visitors in the entire atoll. One day to visit to nesting sea turtles and to snorkel at the remote Turtle Islands.

Day 14: Yap. Cultural and natural history tour.

Recipe by Trish Wiltshire
"This is a very rich dish, a little goes a long way! Served as a side dish or an entree, this is my favorite recipe and always gets rave reviews."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup butter
1 (10 ounce) lobster tail
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup cream sherry
12 large sea scallops
4 slices Gouda cheese
1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust
A very good recipe, very rich and full of flavor. Because I didn't have Ramekins, I made them into meat pockets and poured the sauce on top. It's good to serve with a light salad, as it cuts some of the richness of this dish.
I changed the recipe a bit-I doubled the sauce but didn't include the lobster with the second batch. For the filling I used scallops & shrimp, folded into the second batch of sauce, added the cheese. Made the rest as stated, very very good. I made this for a dinner party & everyone raved about it!! Thanks!

Great taste, but very filling, will try without the pastry next time.
so simple, and so yummy! thanks for sharing. I served with asparagus tips on top, and a little green bean thinly sliced red pepper bundle for entree.
