Joined Delta Software Technologies GmbH as VP International Business Development to drive new business and set up strategic partnerships. The company acquired the rights to the Delta/ADS enterprise application development tool in 1994.
Designed and implemented strategy to move company away from its rigid traditional development focus and towards how to become a successful software products business. This required quite a lot of internal discussion and selling to start to move away from the traditional business model.
Worked closely with resellers in UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and France to relaunch their business and create a plan for growth, focusing on the traditional markets where Delta/ADS was strong: larger banks and insurance companies
Founded Delta Software Technology Italia S.r.l. in Turin and submitted a joint bid with CSC for the massive "INPS" project to modernize Italy's pension administration and payment system. It was interesting to see how a company was formed in Italy, and how different it was to previous experience in the UK and Germany.
Presented at international trade conferences and raised the visibility of the company with updated positioning, branding, web presence, product packaging and a focus on product quality. Also spoke at a number of customer and partner events to raise the image of Delta and to be seen as more of a modern product company.
Introduced the "Solution Selling" process for prospecting and sales management to resellers with custom training materials and real-time support. Helped sales team to achieve targets when prospecting and processing the sales pipeline by learning to say "no", unblocking the sales process and leading to substantial additional sales.
Deeply involved in strategic investment in web application development tools specialist ViewSoft, Inc. (Provo, Utah). Dynasty invested $2M in cash for 20%, plus a further 8% from swapping 2% of Dynasty for the 8% stake owned by HP in ViewSoft. Citrix Systems, Inc. acquired ViewSoft for $32M in July 1999.
Pitched Dynasty to VCs in Houston, Europe and Japan. Wrote business plans and supporting documents for a successful $5M funding round. This was my first direct involvement with the investment community in the USA, Europe and Japan, and it was very enlightening to see first hand the difference in approaches.
Appointed VP Strategy and Marketing and drove strategic shift to promote applications developed using the DDE through Dynasty's international sales channel. The main application partner was CAD IT (Italy) with SIBAC Core Banking which was conceived to target a large, profitable vertical market.
Managed relationship with key AI vendors Hugin Expert A/S and Dezide ApS (Denmark), and Hi-Flier (Italy). Presented AI-based solutions at industry conferences and to development partners.
Joined Dynasty Technologies in Paris as head of customer service for the Dynasty Development Environment, a patented application framework used to build enterprise-class transactional applications.
Responsible for all customers worldwide (15 countries, excluding USA). Managed support team based in Paris, working closely with international resellers to increase customer satisfaction in Dynasty's period of rapid growth. This role also involved an internal sales role within the company, as well as frequent customer interaction.
Performed cost-benefit analysis role in international sales opportunities and worked closely with leading customers, including CAD IT (Italy), BNP Paris (France), Hansabank (Estonia), Rabobank and Interpolis (Netherlands), Logica-CMG a global systems integrator and HPD (UK), Premiere, Deutsche Post and MSG (Germany), and Novo Group Oyj subsequently acquired by Logica-CMG (Finland).
Took over the International CTO role to work with key customers and to advance relationships with major resellers and technology partners, including BEA (now Oracle), Oracle and Tandem/Compaq (now HP). Moved back to the UK to be more flexible when travelling. Stepped in at short notice in 2000 to manage the user conference in Cannes. Presented on behalf of Dynasty at various customer events and industry conferences.
Took leadership role in partnership with IBM to bring DDE to IBM mainframe platform. Pitched new target to potential partners in Australia and South Africa. Presented at industry events, including IBM partner events. Managed development partner project with Enterprise S.p.A. in Rome, which involved a lot of political skills to handle the differences in project planning between northern and southern Europeans!
Moved to Germany to be closer to mainland European customers and key projects at customers in Germany. Appointed Director of Strategic Projects and then VP of Strategy, which again mean more interaction with customers and prospects.
Founded Attitude Software in the UK to focus on Windows-based application development and object-oriented design. This was my first hands-on experience with OO; the tools I had been working on up until this point were based more on the concepts of Jackson Structured Programming.
I developed a number of niche commercial applications during this period using Borland Delphi, at least one of which is still running unchanged today.
Performed in-depth quality assurance review of PC-based development product for German software tools company. This project covered both the software and the supporting documentation. Travelled to Germany regularly to report on progress. Also developed an automated Windows-based product demonstration for use at trade shows and other sales events.
I also translated a programming standards manual from German to English for BMW.
Joined Delta Software International Ltd in 1988 in the UK to manage the IBM mainframe team for the Delta/ADS enterprise application development tool. This was initially a mostly technical role with an important element of negotiation with head office in Switzerland and the German development team.
Delta/ADS was the market leader in its niche in Europe and was used by many large banks and insurance companies, which meant customer visits and general pre-sales and post-sales support, both in the UK and internationally.
Moved to Germany in 1990 to join Delta Software GmbH after managing the UK development organization and working closely with development teams in Germany and Switzerland. Started to learn German, where my progress was helped by my colleagues deciding from one day on another to completely stop speaking English with me.
Quickly appointed Development Group Manager for the German development team, which meant close liaison with other development groups in Switzerland and France, as well as strategic sub-contractors in Germany.
In 1991 this team was spun-out of Delta Software GmbH into a separate company - IBSI CASE Development GmbH - following Delta's acquisition by IBSI (a big Delta/ADS user in France). This meant even more travel, this time mostly to France and Switzerland, and my first attempt to learn French.
Managed a team of 20 with profit and loss responsibility and a turnover of EUR 2 million for IBSI CASE Development GmbH; profit and loss, hire and fire responsibility. Drove the technical strategy and supported international sales. Spoke at a number of user conferences and customer events.
Assumed VP Product Development position in 1993 with transfer of all Delta/ADS development to IBSI CASE Development GmbH, at which point the development centres in France and Switzerland were closed.
Worked with the managing director on starting-up the new application development division for the leading independent provider of systems programming services for IBM mainframes.
My role involved a lot of customer and prospect visits, with sales presentations and general business development. I also presented the application division at a number of company-wide meetings.
Managed project for the Equity & Law insurance company to develop a replacement Broker Funds management application within a tight timescale of six months. This project was based onsite within the end-user department, so I had daily contact with both the end-users and senior management.
Consulted on a range of development projects for M&G Investments, The Salvation Army, Harrods, Desoutter, Cullinet, Hitachi and TRW. All these projects were a mixture of pre-sales, post-sales, hands-on development and technical consulting.
Managed 20 people on two year project for the Municipal Mutual insurance company to develop a new life assurance application. This project was my first real experience of managing a large team, and the associated presentations both within the team, onsite to the customer's IT management and to CMG management back at head office.
Worked as senior developer on reinsurance project for SwissRe, as well as performing a number of one-off consulting activities for CMG customers.
Developed actuarial systems for the Equity Research department of this leading City of London stockbroker, with a special focus on investment trusts and gilts.
It was at Mullens that I became a professional programmer, with excellent exposure to systems software, frameworks and software architecture and design. Worked in small team based in the end-user department, so had a lot of direct contact with both business users and senior management.

Weather Brain: Ty's Winter Classic tips
Vet of all NHL's recent outdoor games tells players what to expect from Mother Nature
A version of this article appears in the Dec. 28 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
When the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers hit the ice for the Winter Classic, it will be the first outdoor NHL game that won't feature Ty Conklin. The St. Louis Blues goalie, who faced the elements as an Edmonton Oiler (2003), Pittsburgh Penguin (2008) and Detroit Red Wing (2009), has nurtured an intimate bond with Mother Nature. Here, he shares what to expect from her.
The Cold
"It was zero degrees in Edmonton that night, and that really affected things. The ice was so brittle, chunks broke off and flew around. Our equipment guys got warming tips from the trainers of the Edmonton Eskimos and Green Bay Packers beforehand. I wore a neoprene suit under my gear and kept extra gloves on a heater, switching at breaks. You needed to change gloves to be able to use them. In addition to playing hockey, just trying to stay warm was a battle in itself.
"For the last two Winter Classics, I didn't wear anything different because the weather was pretty great. I was even breaking a sweat at Wrigley last year."
To see what other tips Ty Conklin has for the Bruins and Flyers, you must be an ESPN Insider.

Champlain Valley Christian School Champlain Valley Christian School seeks to glorify our risen Savior by preparing our children spiritually, intellectually, and physically to meet the challenges that Christians face in an ever-changing world.
The Christian School Society was organized in 1969 by a group of parents who were convinced of the need for Christian education in the Champlain Valley.
In 1974, the Champlain Valley Christian School (CVCS) became a reality.
The school opened with grades 1-6 in a rented building in Ferrisburgh.
In 1976, larger facilities were built by the Champlain Valley Christian Reformed Church (CVCRC) and then rented to CVCS.
In 2008, the school built a beautiful new facility of its own, which includes bright, large classrooms, a computer lab, library, and cafeteria.

I want to enclose this to provide privacy, improve energy conservation but still allow light into the front window (6ft long by 5 ft high).

front porch design
I have a 1950's house in Toronto. The front porch(not quite) is 30 ft by 5"5'', has a roof, but no sides and a concrete floor. The porch faces due north here in Toronto, Canada.
I have seen front porches enclosed. Some people enclose them by building a half wall and using windows the rest of the way. I have seen some with french doors all around. It look quite busy, but can still allow light in. I would try to keep with the style of the home. Drive around town to see if anybody else has an enclosed porch, and see what they used. The other option is to make it a 3 season porch and use the type of enclosures they use. Only problem is they look ugly, unless they are on the back of the house.

Survey Reveals Americans Are Completely Addicted to Sitting
You may want to sit down for this.
On second thought, maybe you won't.
You may want to sit down for this.
On second thought, maybe you won't.
America's children increasingly eat out, because most kids prefer food from their favorite fast-food restaurants, and this upward trend in fast-food consumption is out-of-control and has paralleled increasing obesity rates among children and adolescents. The study took into account 3,500 food combinations, 41 chain restaurants and counted the sugar, sodium, fats and saturated fats, according to the findings. The end result is more American children are overweight.
It's almost time to take on the challenge of a 5K and this isn't just any normal 5K. The Run or Dye 5k is one of the most colorful runs you will ever make. It's coming up August 17th at the Taylor Co. Expo Center and will benefit the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization.
Here's some news that's bigger than Americans' ever-growing waistlines.
If you want to look good this summer, there are some places where the people may inspire you more than others.
Randy Travis has undergone heart surgery after being hospitalized on Sunday (July 7) due to complications from a viral cardiomyopathy. His sister-in-law says the family has a long history of heart troubles.
This kid couldn't have drawn up a better ending to his tale.
My brother Jeff is a cancer survivor, and has a particularly soft spot in his heart for children who battle the disease that knocked him down, but not out. Jeff shared a video that absolutely shocked me, and I'm still having trouble wrapping my brain around.
If you're teaching your son how to use the toilet, here's some sobering news.
The iconic Glen Campbell has contributed to country music in lasting ways, and his presence in the industry (since 1958) will never be forgotten. However, the singer is battling Alzheimer's, and now more than ever, his family needs to remember the good memories -- because each day is a struggle.
Travis Selinka has some of the best friends in the world.
Summer is supposed to be a carefree time of sun and fun. But thanks to the insanely high pollen and all kinds of nature wackiness, we've been brought to our knees by out-of-control allergies.

The very lovely Kim sent me some photographs from her amazing looking car show wedding after reading my post on the new 'transport' category for the blog. I think this wedding actually epitomizes my (or sorry my Dad's) idea and shall forever more be remembered as the definition of wedding car chic.
Kim writes: I recently saw your post about the Chevelle and how your Dad thought your site was missing cars. Your Dad and my Dad must have been cut from the same cloth. As soon as I announced my engagement and my plan to hold my wedding & reception on my Dad's lawn he began planning the car show. I thought it was a great idea. My husband, Andy and I discovered our mutual love of cars early on in our relationship in fact we bought a 1966 plymouth satellite (the white car in the pics) for eachother as a wedding present. My Dad drove my sisters and me to the tent in his 1929 Chrysler. The remainder of the cars belonged to guests who were promised "preferred parking" for vehicles manufactured before 1974 on our invitations. It was a great day and everyone loved being able to check out the rides.
I will most definitely be forwarding this post to my Dad to make sure he sees how popular his idea has become.
For me, the overtly stylish wedding epitomises a Rock 'n Roll Wedding. The couple have incorporated themselves into the day – personal touches are really what make any wedding special.

This tattooed bride is stunning and this couple look so blissfully happy (hurrah!) I love to see such joy in a wedding.

ITOCHU to Deliver Sewage Facilities to Hunnan New Area, China
Tokyo, Mar 15, 2012 (JCN) - ITOCHU Corp. has announced that Chengdu Union Environment Co. Ltd, an affiliate of ITOCHU (China) Holding Co. Ltd, has received an order for sewage facilities in five locations in the Hunnan New Area, a new development zone, in Shenyang, Liaoning.
The facilities will use Teijin Ltd's water treatment core technology Multi-Stage Activated Biological Process (MSABP), which can significantly reduce the amount of excess sludge generated. ITOCHU will use a decentralized system that will have a few small and midsize sewage treatment plants to slash investment costs and shorten the construction period.
The agreement is an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, & Construction) agreement between Chengdu Union Environment Co. Ltd and Shenyang. Teijin will provide the MSABP technology and proprietary equipment and material through ITOCHU (China) Holding Co. Ltd.

2008 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc: 94 Points Wine Advocate!
We are thrilled to announce that the 2008 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc was rated 94 points by Robert Parker. While every vintage of Esprit Blanc has received at least 91 points from Robert Parker, this is its highest rating yet. The Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc was released into national distribution in May 2010. It was also, like all our Esprit de Beaucastel wines, released early to VINsider wine club members, this wine in the September 2009 club shipment.
The Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc 2008 is a blend of three estate-grown varietals, propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate. Roussanne provides the core richness, minerality, and flavors of honey and spice, while Grenache Blanc adds green apple and anise flavors, a lush mouthfeel and bright acids. Picpoul Blanc completes the blend, adding a saline minerality and tropical notes.
The 2008 vintage was our second consecutive drought year, with yields further reduced by spring frosts. Berries and clusters were small, leading to excellent concentration. Ripening over the summer was gradual and harvest about a week later than normal. Crop sizes were similar to 2007 and about 20% lower than usual. The low yields and gradual ripening resulted in wines with good intensity, lower than normal alcohols and an appealing gentle minerality. Grenache Blanc was harvested between September 16th and October 3rd, Picpoul Blanc between September 22nd and October 10th, and Roussanne between September 30th and October 24th.
The grapes for our Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The fruit was whole cluster pressed, and fermented with native yeasts. The Roussanne was fermented in a balance of stainless steel fermenters, 60-gallon oak barrels, and one 1200-gallon foudre. The Grenache Blanc was fermented partially in stainless steel and also in one foudre, and the Picpoul Blanc was fermented in small neutral oak and stainless steel barrels. All the wines went through malolactic fermentation. After a very long fermentation, the varietals were blended in June and bottled in July 2009.
The 2008 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc shows aromas of honeycomb and white flowers lifted by savory notes of lemon thyme and tarragon. The mouth shows rich Roussanne flavors of ripe pear, honey and spice, a rich texture reminiscent of coconut and a long, dry, slightly tropical finish. Moreso than many vintages of Esprit Blanc, the 2008 should drink well when young but will also reward time in bottle. Expect it to shine for at least the next 6-8 years.
Updated tasting notes from a July 2011 vertical tasting can be found on the Tablas Creek blog.

A Wichita plane manufacturer is evaluating revised rules for an aircraft bid.
Hawker Beechcraft has until June 4th to submit a contract to supply the Afghanistan Army with 20 light-attack airplanes.
Hawker lost a bid to Sierra Nevada last year for the Air Force Embraer Plane Contract. The Air Force set aside the contract in February siting systematic problems with the competition.
In a statement released Tuesday, Hawker said:
"We are profoundly disappointed to see in the amended RFP that the USAF continues to permit antiquated pilot accommodation standards for ejection seat equipped aircraft which can place both USAF and partner nation pilots at unnecessary and higher risk. Those standards were developed by the USAF to protect their own male and female pilot population, and every aircraft acquired by the USAF should meet those modern safety standards."
Hawker said the company will continue to review the RFP and meet or exceed the USAF requirements.
Aircraft deliveries would be made in 2014. The contract is worth $355 million dollars.

Mine's set to .024" & works nicely.
If your mill gums up, you used too much water.
Once conditioned, do you mill right into the MT or into another bucket first?
Typically, I crush the night before brewing.
I never crush directly into my tun.
I always crush into a bucket, lined with a bag.
I found this method to be a good idea, on two occasions...
Once, a bolt fell out of my mill base & dropped into the grain.
With the bag, I could easily reach in & pluck out the bolt...
Without it, I would have had to sift through a hot mash tun.
(I always slowly add milled grain to a tun of water, to avoid air pockets & dough balls.)
Another time, my mill bound up & I couldn't get it to continue grinding, without a susbstantial amount of time spent on cleaning & maintenance.
Had I ground into my tun, my mash would have already been started & be too hot, for a correct mash temp.
So I tried this for the first time today. Approx three ounces of water with 12 lbs of grain applied last night and just milled....AMAZING!!!! Lets just say I wasn't sure how this would work and I was more than surprised. I'll let all know efficiency tonight (tightened rollers)
After reading this thread, I sure don't want to piss anybody off. Would the conditioning of grain help people doing biab? Thanks!
I know you guys mentioned if it is wet, too much water was applied.
Any issues with rusting on the mills?
"That little guy? Don't worry about that little guy."
Reserve a half pound of base malt before you condition the rest, and run it through the mill at the end of the crush...

Grass-roots group releasing Voters' Health Care Platform
CodeBlueNow!, a Seattle grass-roots group, is releasing its Voters' Health Care Platform today. The platform outlines how ordinary Americans want to fix health care.
Seattle Times health reporter
Health-care town meetingWhere: Bell Harbor International Conference Center, 2211 Alaskan Way, Pier 66, Seattle
When: 7-9 p.m. today
To attend: $10 for the public; register by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com, or by calling 206-217-9430. Tickets also available at the door.
More information:
Should all Americans be required to buy health coverage, much as drivers are required to carry auto insurance?
Should we consider counting employer-provided health insurance as taxable income?
And should we really be relying on employers to provide the majority of our health coverage in the first place?
Never mind socialized medicine or universal coverage. It's the seemingly simple questions that lie at the heart of the debate over health-care reform. And as discontented as Americans may be with the current system, many favor targeted fixes, not radical surgery.
That is one of the main conclusions of a Seattle nonprofit group's five-year, nationwide campaign to identify reforms that have the backing of the American public.
Today, the group, CodeBlueNow!, will release its Voters' Health Care Platform, a nonpartisan proposal that it says could and should serve as a blueprint for Congress and the next president.
The platform was distilled from opinions of 8,000 ordinary Americans. More than 1,200 of them took part in surveys in Washington and Iowa; 6,800 others submitted their own suggestions for reform to CodeBlueNow!
The group will discuss its platform at 7 tonight at a town meeting that's open to the public at Bell Harbor International Conference Center. Keynote speakers are two former governors — Republican Arne Carlson of Minnesota and Democrat Richard Lamm of Colorado. Former Washington Gov. Booth Gardner also is an honorary board member.
"Heavy lifting is ahead"
Lamm said CodeBlueNow! has shown that most Americans agree on broad principles about health reform. Among them are affordability, accountability, equitability and focus on prevention.
"The first step is to show America is not as divided on the major questions in health care," Lamm said.
Lamm conceded that CodeBlueNow's platform is thin on specifics. It doesn't take a position, for instance, on whether every American should be required to have minimum health coverage.
"This is a process, not a result," Lamm said. "The heavy lifting is ahead."
CodeBlueNow! founder Kathleen O'Connor said its surveys did find specific common desires, with most Americans wanting more information about costs and benefits of treatments, a greater accounting of where health-care dollars go and access to a wider variety of licensed health professionals, such as chiropractors and acupuncturists.
On a more fundamental level, Americans don't want a government-run program, nor do they want the responsibility to fall entirely on themselves, O'Connor said. That leaves improving the largely employer-based system we have now.
"Americans want affordable, accessible health care," O'Connor said. "They don't necessarily want to turn the health-care system upside down."
Candidates' plans
O'Connor said Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's health-care plan hews more closely to the public's demands than does the plan of Republican candidate John McCain, who wants all Americans to buy their own insurance. To encourage that, McCain proposes giving $2,500 to every individual ($5,000 for families) to offset premiums.
In exchange, McCain would make employer-sponsored health benefits taxable to workers. That would cost a family of four more than $2,000 in extra income and payroll taxes, according to Kaiser Family Foundation
O'Connor cautioned that this doesn't mean Obama's plan would necessarily pass muster with voters, either. Obama has called for extending coverage to all children and to more adults through subsidies and a new national insurance pool. But more Washington and Iowa voters than not disagree that health care should be paid for and managed by governments.
CodeBlueNow!'s platform joins a crowded field of reform agendas backed by various groups. The American Nurses Association, for instance, has called for covering all Americans through a government-managed program, much like Medicare for all.
The American Medical Association favors keeping the current system intact, but giving taxpayer subsidies to those who are uninsured.
Lamm argues that CodeBlueNow!'s objectivity gives its platform credibility.
"This is truly a citizens group that wants to solve a problem, not promote an agenda," he said.

Medium yellow. Ripe stone fruit and honey on the nose. Fat and sweet but not quite as large-scaled as the Combettes, showing stone fruit and spice flavors. Best today on the insidiously long finish, which really saturates the palate with flavor. Plenty of verve here; still, I'd serve most of these 2009s a bit cooler than usual.Author: Stephen Tanzer

The first, going upwards, to exhibit the Leflaive trademark struck-match character on the nose. Very pure and bright fruit. Polished and bone dry and savoury. Already recognisable as a Leflaive wine even though there is lots of evolution to come. Quite dry and pure and majestic. Juicy.Drink Dates: 2015-2023
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Pucelles emerges from the glass with crystalline purity in its finely chiseled fruit. It possesses striking mid-palate energy and focus, with sweet floral notes that add lift on the finish. This is a marvelously symmetrical, well-balanced wine loaded with sheer class and personality. Best of all, the Pucelles offers tremendous potential for the future.Drink Dates: 2015+

Enticing, with peach and pear flavors, tinged by oak spice. Refined and elegant, yet with intensity, followed by a soft finish.Drink Dates: 2012-2020

Marriage and family therapy professor and student recognized at NCAMFT Conference
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 ( 1:49 pm )
In March 2013, marriage and family therapy student Sarah Alwran received the Graduate Student Research Award at the North Carolina Association of Marriage and Family Therapy Conference. This is the first time a Pfeiffer student has been recognized in this category.
This award was established in 1997 by the NCAMFT Board of Directors to recognize excellence in research focused on enhancing the practice of marriage and family therapy or the understanding of families.
Additionally, Dr. Pearl Wong, assistant professor, marriage and family therapy LMFT and AAMFT supervisor, was presented the Marriage and Family Therapy Training Award. This award is designed for a NCAMFT member who has made outstanding contributions to education and training of marriage and family therapists in an academic or non-academic setting.
"Since the marriage and family program opened in 2007, Pfeiffer has built a reputation for excellence in the region,†said Dr. Susan Wilkie McHale, director of marriage and family program. "Pfeiffer students and faculty being recognized for their current and potential contributions to the field reflect the program's position as a leader in educating high-quality marriage and family therapists.â€

The Leader of Wrexham Council, Cllr Ron Davies has praised the people of Wrexham after the town achieved it's highest ever recycling rates.
In the first quarter of 2011-12 almost three quarters (74.75%) of waste received at household waste amenity sites in the county borough was either reused, recycled or composted.
This meant that the council achieved an overall reuse, recycling and composting rate of 52.29% for the whole of Wrexham, the highest quarter on record.
Cllr Davies said: "I would like to thank the people of Wrexham for this, this is their achievement not ours."
Over 2010/11 Wrexham achieved a recycling and composting rate of 47.29% which was the 6th best result in Wales.
Cllr David Bithell said that recycling rates in the town had gone up 10% over the last three years from 37.38% to 47.29%.
He said: "We've also reduced the amount of waste which is sent to landfill by 10% which is significant when you consider that in 2013/14 it will cost £72 for every ton of waste sent, in contrast to £40 in 2009/10.
"The more we recycle, the less is sent to landfill which saves money for the council and more importantly for the tax payer."

"This recipe was published in the Arizona Republic on July 31, 2001"
Serving Size: 1 (1385 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 1
"These are the BEST sugar cookies EVER! I've made them several times and I always get requests for the recipe. The recipe is correct, you do need to use 4 and 1/3 cups of CAKE flour. It seems like a ton of flour, but to make these comparable to the Paradise Cafe version, you need it! Just make sure not to stir too much after you've added the flour.
I don't chill the dough, because usually when I'm making these its last minute and they turn out the same. Once I've got the dough complete, I measure each cookie out with a small disher, then roll them between my hands, roll them in sugar and then press them down with the palm of my hand. I bake them on parchment paper for only 8 minutes so that the bottoms stay barely golden. Once they're out of the oven, I leave them on the pan for a minute longer, then use a HUGE, but thin spatula to lift them to the wire rack. They're VERY delicate, so be careful and let them cool completely!
People have actually argued with me about whether or not they're from a bakery. You HAVE to try this recipe!"
"A very light, rich and delicate cookie. Perfect for my Christmas tray. Frosted with pink vanilla frosting and added candies sprinkles over the tops...Thank U for this recipe..I also used cake flour substitute 1 3/4c flour and 1/4 c cornstarch worked like a charm...."
"These are just like the Paradise Bakery sugar cookie. The recipe is perfect. It's a dry day here in Arizona. I didn't quite use the full amount of flour. But on a more humid day I would. Measure the (sifted) cake flour by filling the cup with a spoon and leveling off with a knife. The amount of flour in the recipe is definitely correct, though you might not need it all.

Though I love this cookie and am happy to find this recipe, this cookie may not be for everyone. There is a lot of shortening and very little vanilla. It might taste floury or even "tasteless" to some. All I can say is add extra vanilla or find a sugar cookie recipe that uses more flavoring, butter or sour cream, etc. But if you love the Paradise Bakery sugar cookie, you'll be very happy with this recipe!"
"I actually made these cookies for Christmas this year and they turned out great! I rolled them out and used a Christmas ornament cookie cutter. I frosted them and put sprinkles on top. They were a big hit with everyone who tried them!"
"The first batch of these I said was not good but once they completely cooled they tasted perfect. My second try was even better. The third time the first tray I put in the oven started crumbling. I couldn't figure out why but I think I needed to bake them longer. I am waiting for the rest of them to come out but this recipe is right on. Watch out though and you may have them all eaten in the first hour! Lol"
"This recipe calls for shortening only and you can definitely taste it! I much prefer a buttery taste and won't be making this recipe again."
"Definitely would not make these again. The shortening made these so bland. I even subbed 1/2 cup of it with butter and it did not help. I did them drop style and pressed with a sugared glass, but they were just not the same as a traditional sugar cookie."
":( This recipe did not work for me and I am confused as to why, after all the lovely reviews. I did cut the recipe in half, but other than that followed it to a T. My batter came out like dry pea sized crumbles. Not wanting to give up, I scrunched the batter together in balls with my hands, rolled the balls in sugar and flattened them a bit with my palm. The directions said to bake the cookies until slightly golden, and cracked on top. Mine never turned golden, even after a couple extra minutes, and when I cooled them and tried to bite into one, they were like rock hard biscuits and I ended up throwing them away, and throwing away the remainder of the batter. After talking with a friend who uses a similar recipe, she told me that her cookies never turn golden, so she takes them out exactly at the time her recipe indicates, and so maybe that is why they turned out so hard. All in all, I still had fun trying the recipe, I just wish they had come out better."
"This is what Heaven tastes like! They are just like the Paradise Cafe cookies! The texture with the CAKE flour and powdered sugar is an almost exact match. This was a test recipe in preparation to make some Lemon Zester cookies, also from Paradise, which are seasonal (the recipe I've found is similar to this one, with lemon zest and lemon jello added). I followed the recipe, except I halved it (yes, 1/2 of an egg...), but it turned out great, so I think the CAKE flour amount is correct. I formed the dough with an ice cream scoop (1/2 recipe made 12), rolled in sugar, briefly refrigerated, and then baked for 10 min. I think people who haven't had the sugar cookies or Lemon Zesters at Paradise probably won't like the texture as much, because it's different than any other cookies I've tried, and it's different than what you might expect. I'm two hours away from the nearest Paradise Cafe, so thank you for sharing this recipe!"
"This is the best sugar cookie recipe I have ever tried. These will be my family's Santa cookies from now on. They taste just like the paradise bakery cookies!"
"Made these for a neighbor's Halloween cookout. Used my usual cookie scoop and baked on Silpat. Took 13 -15 minutes for each cookie sheet ! I allowed space for them to spread, and got over 48 sizable cookies ! they are good enough, but was surprised I have better recipes -- which DON'T take 1 pound of butter !! Thanks for posting."
"These were good but we did not care for the shortening flavour. I did cook them with an inverted rosebud in each cookie which looked strange after they baked because the cookie was very flat. The melted chocolate tasted good on the cookie."
"FABULOUS sugar cookie!!!! Really exceptional cookie in my house to elicit moans of pleasure after the first bite! THANK YOU!!!!"
"This recipe is exactly right and has not been altered. Be sure you are adding the 2 cups of shortening. Comes out perfectly every time and very yummy!"
"somebody has altered this recipe, it's suppose to be 3 1/3 cups of flour not 4 1/3. the first time i made them as the recipe says and they turned out dry and crumbly (but still good) so today i made them again with minus 1 cup of flour and FANTASTIC!!! and this time i used some cake flour and some whole wheat flour because i ran out of cake and they were still really, really, good."
"Huh? I'm confused! I made these cookies exactly as said and the mix had so much flour , it turned into crumbs. Also, they could hardly be considered sweet. It seems like all the right ingredients in all the wrong ratios. this might have worked minus 2 cups of cake flour."
"Wow, the cake flour does make a difference. These are melt in your mouth, tender and flavorful cookies. The next batch, I will skip the rolling in the sugar step because they are on the too sweet side. This is just personal preference though. Thanks for posting the recipe."
"I don't know what happened, but these cookies turned out very dry. I even double and triple checked to make sure I used the correct amounts on all of the ingredients, and I definitely did everything exactly according to the recipe. The dough was so crumbly that it was hard to even form a ball with, and when I flattened it down on the cookie sheet the dough just fell apart. The finished product was okay, although just like the dough they were very dry and crumbly."
"I got mixed reviews on this. I made the mistake of making them with butter flavored Crisco. Next time I'll stick to the recipe. Very nice and tender cookies. Easy to decorate. I did as another review did and with some of my cookies I dipped them in cinnamon sugar to mimic a snicker doodle cookie. I also used vanilla and almond extract."
"Dead on right! This is THE Paradise Bakery sugar cookie that we all LOVE! I feel like I've won the lottery finding this! YUM! I will not be calculating the points on this recipe...probably off the chart, but it's worth it every now and then!"
