I often wonder how we acquire our sweet tooth (sweet teeth?). I never doubted but that mine is a genetic trait, passed down through the women of the family. My grandma and my mom, her daughter, could both live on ice cream, and I truly think that my mom does! After a dinner fit for a bird – nibble nibble – she'll sit on the sofa in front of a good English mystery on tv, half gallon tub of coffee ice cream on her lap, spoon in hand, and savor the rest of the evening, cozy and scrumptious and work her way through the ice cream, one spoonful at a time. And she hates to share!
Like mother, like daughter. Coffee ice cream runs through our veins. She started me off well before I even drank coffee, mixing up tall, gorgeous, icy cold glasses of sweetened iced coffee. I would dash up and steal sips, loving the creamy, sugary goodness, the iciness of her drink, coffee yet tasting so much like dessert. Now I can eat coffee ice cream almost as well as she. Although I do alternate mine with meals…
And mother and daughter are the perfect partners in crime. When I visit, she takes me to the Russian Diner for lunch, sandwiches or a hot meal. Empty plates cleared away (or, more often than not, leftovers scraped into take-home containers for later) and the waitress asks "Dessert?" We look at each other and grin. Our only dilemma is the flavor of the cream pie to order, but always with two forks. Huge monster slabs of chocolate or coconut cream pie, towering ever so high under mounds of whipped cream. We have absolutely no problem cleaning this baby up! We are dessert girls!
Trips to the mall with mom always end up with icy mocha shakes and a stop at Grimaldi's Homemade Chocolates on the way home to pick up my yearly fix of chocolate-covered potato chips and a small box of Coconut Patties (dipped in chocolate, thank you very much!).
And sister Sue can join in, the more the merrier, as she has the same genetic leaning. When I'm visiting mom's, Sue drives over for the weekend and what a blast we have. We immediately jump in her car and drive to the donut place, picking up a dozen of our favorite flavors, Boston Cream and raspberry jelly filled, chocolate glazed and cinnamon-sugar. And we eat them all ourselves. A weekend together, no matter how brief, always includes a trip to the grocery store (heaven is an American grocery store!) and we never hesitate to pile our shopping cart high with sweets, boxed cakes and more donuts, ice cream by the gallon and throw in a box of Fudgsicles, and we end with a detour through the bakery section, taking one of those and one of these, and maybe we should even try this. We roll out of the place laughing hysterically, excited by our stash and thrilled with the sweet weekend that lies ahead of us, the plans to loll around the house and eat together, laughing, always laughing!
The menfolk can turn down dessert with a wave of their hand, a shrug of the shoulders, merely because they are full from their meal. I never understood this insouciance where dessert was concerned. Okay, I have been known to turn it down, but usually when no one else was taking (oh, those Friday nights out with husband and sons!), too embarrassed to be the only one. But happily do I eat with mom and sister. At any restaurant, dessert menus handed round, the men rub their tummies and push themselves away from the table and say "No, thanks. Not for me." Mom may hem and haw a bit for the show of it, but always orders something, straight-faced, as a matter of course, no excuses. Sue and I giggle and elbow each other like teen girls laughing over their first crush, "Go on! I will if you will!" and the deal is done. At home, we women rifle through the fridge or freezer whenever the call comes, whenever the Sweet Fairy taps us on the shoulder and whispers in our ear "Darling daughter, aren't you craving something sweet right about now?"
JP never was much of sweet tooth, didn't grow up with tubs of ice cream in the freezer or boxes of cookies on the countertop. No sheet pans of marble cake or bowls of chocolate pudding piled high with whipped cream. He, like his sons, will turn down dessert or that four o'clock snack regularly. JP rarely eats boxed cookies and our boys have particular tastes. But my homemade cakes and cookies are more often than not quite welcome, and something rich and creamy and decadent is manna from heaven. Clem taught me how to make the perfect Tiramisu and he is often requested to throw one together. But I have taken his recipe and fooled around with it a bit, though sticking religiously to the basics; something so heavenly, so incredibly perfect shouldn't be toyed with! And this is perfect for anyone's sweet tooth. Even those with less of a sweet tooth than mine can't resist, and a fabulous, dreamy, smooth Tiramisu doesn't stay around our kitchen for long.
I have decided to send this over to Anna of London Foodie in New York who is hosting this week's Blogger Secret Ingredient. A woman after my own heart – and sweet tooth – Anna has chosen Chocolate as this week's BSI!
Let's start with the CHOCOLATE LADYFINGERS
These ladyfingers are best eaten fresh if they aren't to be used in a dessert. Try and fit them all in the oven in one batch, at most two, because they tend to flatten and get too dense if left waiting. Perfect for this Tiramisu.
5 large eggs, separated
2/3 cups sugar, divided
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
4 Tbs cocoa powder
½ tsp cinnamon
Confectioner's or powdered sugar to top
Preheat oven to 350°F (160°C). Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Fit a pastry bag with a ½" wide plain tube. Place the egg whites in a large bowl, preferably plastic, and add a couple of grains of salt and a drop or two of lemon juice to stabilize them.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs yolks, 1/3 cup of the sugar and the vanilla with an electric mixer until very thick and creamy; when the beaters are lifted up, the ribbon of batter that falls should maintain a pattern for about 10 seconds. This may take up to 5 minutes of beating.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder and cinnamon together. Add this to the yolks a tablespoon at a time while beating on low speed. Mixture becomes very dry.
In a separate bowl with very clean beaters, beat the whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar while beating and continue until stiff peaks form, firm and glossy, not dry.
Spoon ¼ of the whites into the yolk/cocoa mixture and beat on low speed until blended. Fold in the remaining whites by hand until smooth.
Place the batter into the pastry bag and pipe out fingers about 3" long (if using these for a charlotte, pipe them the height of the mold). Leave room between the fingers to allow for spreading.
Generously sieve the powdered sugar onto the chocolate fingers. Bake for about 20 minutes until the fingers are puffed and firm but not browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly on the baking sheet before removing to cooling racks to cool completely before using in the Tiramisu.
About 36 chocolate ladyfingers
1 jar of cherries, drained over a bowl, juice reserved
2 Tbs Kirsch
4 large eggs, separated
2 cups (500 g) mascarpone (I had extra as my pots were 300 g each instead of 250 g)
½ cup (100 g) sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Cocoa powder
Stir the Kirsch into the cherry juice and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until pale and very thick. Beat in the sugar. Beat the mascarpone quickly with the same beaters just to make it creamy before folding or beating it into the yolks. Stir in the vanilla.
Stabilize the whites by adding a couple of grains of salt and a drop or two of lemon juice. In a very clean bowl with very clean beaters, beat the whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold the whites into the yolk/mascarpone mixture until completely smooth.
In one large glass serving dish or several small (I used two 3-inch ring molds, 2 single-serving glass bowls and 1 small glass serving dish), place a small amount of the mascarpone cream and smear evenly along the bottom.
Dunk ladyfinger by ladyfinger in the cherry juice/Kirsch blend until just soaked through but before it is too soggy and falls apart. Line the bottom of the molds completely with the fingers, cutting them to fit if need be and pressing them together.
Layer half of the remaining mascarpone cream on top of the first layer of ladyfingers and spread evenly all the way to the edges. Line with cherries, as many or as few as you like.
Dunk and lay another layer of ladyfingers over the mascarpone/cherries, then complete with the rest of the mascarpone cream on top of the ladyfingers.
You should have: A dab of cream, drenched ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, cherries, ladyfingers, mascarpone up to the top of your mold/dish.
Sieve a heavy coat of cocoa powder all over the top of the Tiramisu. Decorate with more cherries if you like.
Refrigerate a few hours before serving. If using metal rings, gently slide a knife around the rim then gently lift the mold straight up off of the Tiramisu.

What a beautiful desserts. The chocolate lady fingers have just been added to my dessert recipe rotation. I've never seen them before. I'm not much of a sweet tooth myself, so recipes like yours are too often overlooked. I'm glad I caught this one. Thanks.

That tiramisu looks to die for!!!! For get having a sandwich for lunch. I'm heading straight for dessert.
I've sort of wondered where I got my sweet tooth. No one else in my family has it, but me. So mine is definitely not genetic. haha...

- Heavenly Housewife said...
Wow, I cant believe you even made your own lady fingers!!!!
I didn't have a sweet tooth until I met hubby. Now I am sweets mad! I would way rather have a sweet than a proper dinner. I blame all my bad habits on him (of course).

I'm just checking your site out for the first time, and it is so lovely!! This was a great first post for me because I, like you, have a sweet tooth passed down from above. My grandfather always needed a little "something sweet" and my grandmother always had amazing things on hand for the man she loved. They lived two streets away, so I was lucky enough to get to share in the bounty.
I've worked hard to lose a lot of weight, and now to keep it off, but, through it all, I refuse to neglect my sweet tooth!! I think my memaw and papaw would be proud. :-)
Your tiramisu looks divine!
- September 10, 2009 at 5:42 AM
- Jamie said...
@Sweetie Pie: Welcome to my blog and thank you for that wonderfully sweet story of your grandparents. Lucky, indeed! And I think the one thing that helps me keep my weight down is eating a little bit of sweet at a time with absolutely no guilt!
- September 10, 2009 at 5:48 AM
Hi Jamie, LOVE the reference to chocolate, and it is in the genes...After tasting a chocolate Entemans donut(and hearing the wonderful cracking sound it makes as you bite into it), my daughters (Debbie and Laura) decided that we would knock over the first Entemans Delivery truck that we saw--no we did not do it!) Now, we just have to try your cherry chocolate tiramisu--how wonderful! I have something in common with your Mom--give me liberty,death, but indeed coffee ice cream too!!!! Sheila

I'm embarassed to say I have never even tried tiramisu? How can I be a foodie even? Shocking, however, maybe as it would be, I'm suppose to try this one first as a landmark experience!! Maybe I will be bold enough to make it! It looks amazing!! Chris Ann

I found you through BSI and I must say that looks gorgeous. I love the inclusion of cherries and the simplicity of the presentation. That looks like such a fun twist on Tiramisu.
It's also very fun to see you are living in Nantes. I took French all throughout high school and part of college and had a chance to visit France the summer before my senior year of high school. I remember Nantes well because I stayed with a family nearby in Gorges for part of the trip. I absolutely love the trip and only wish I could go back in time. I was such a picky high schooler then and didn't realize how great the food all around me was.

Gyan messed it all, man they should have won it but it messed it Luiz Suarez the cheater
i would say luis suarez has the highest IQi didnt see his hand ball but someone told me it was heading for the goal and he handed it.May look like cheating but that little action won them a semifinal berth.No time for losers
I agree atankwadi86. please, Luiz Suarez did a great save! everyone would probably have done the same! he missed the semifinal didn't he?? so no, Suarez is no cheat!
But Gyan.. omg. the most overrated player at the World CUp? why is it that everyone brand him as so very good??
i dont think gyan is that bad but he isnt that bright eitherand abt the penalty, as andy gray says it " all the greatest players have missed penalties"

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medicines listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions.
Use each of these medicines as recommended by your doctor or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Only influenza can be specifically treated with antiviral medicine, and those medicines should be used only in serious cases because they may have unwanted side effects. Most people with the flu do not need antiviral medicine. If you have the flu, check with your doctor to see if you need antiviral medicine. You will need it if you are in a high-risk group or if you have a severe illness (like breathing problems).
In general, uncomplicated influenza and the common cold should not be treated with antibiotics for several reasons:
- Antibiotics, though generally safe, have side effects and are not as harmless as the common cold.
- Antibiotics do not cure influenza or the common cold since both are caused by viruses; they only work against bacterial infections.
- Misuse and overuse of antibiotics has caused a worldwide crisis—the emergence of resistant bacteria. Some infections are now resistant to every known antibiotic.
On the other hand, many over-the-counter (OTC) remedies are available to help minimize your symptoms. If the treatments recommended under lifestyle changes , such as a warm baths and humidified air, aren't enough, these OTC products may help you through the worst of the illness.
Prescription Medications
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and Zanamivir (Relenza)
Over-the-counter Medications
- Pseudoephedrine
- Phenylephrine
- Naphazoline
- Oxymetazoline
- Diphenhydramine
- Chlorpheniramine
- Brompheniramine
- Loratadine
Pain Relievers/Fever Reducers (Antipyretics)
- Acetaminophen
- Ibuprofen
- Guaifenesin
- Dextromethorphan
- Codeine
Prescription Medications
Oseltamivir and zanamivir are used in adults and children to prevent or treat infections with types A and B influenza viruses. For the 2012-2013 flu season, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the use of these two medicines.
Oseltamivir and zanamivir interfere with specific viral chemical processes. Like other antiviral medicines, oseltamivir and zanamivir do not cure the flu, but may shorten the duration of illness if taken within 48 hours of when symptoms first appear. In addition to treating flu symptoms, these medicines may reduce the spread of the flu virus to others.
Zanamivir may worsen asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) . Some kinds of seasonal influenza virus are resistant to oseltamivir in the US. The FDA has warned of possible adverse effects in patients, especially children, taking oseltamivir. In some cases, these effects (such as hallucinations, delirium, abnormal behavior) resulted in injury and death.
Amantadine and rimantadine affect only influenza A viruses. They are used for treatment, as well as for prevention in high-risk people during an epidemic. These medicines do not cure the flu, but may shorten the duration of illness if taken within 48 hours of when symptoms first appear. Viral resistance has often been a problem with both of these medicines. Amantadine is approved for the treatment and prevention of the flu for those aged one year and older. Rimantadine is approved for treatment in those aged 13 years and older and for prevention for those aged one year and older.
Possible side effects include:
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Insomnia
- Mood and mental changes
- Dry mouth
- Constipation
- Headache
- Confusion
- Loss of coordination
Over-the-counter Medications
With each type of OTC medicine, the active ingredients are listed. There are many brand name preparations for each of these active ingredients. Only a few brand names are listed here, but be aware that there are other brands to choose from. Read labels and look for the active ingredients when choosing a product.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that OTC cough and cold products should not be used to treat infants or children less than two years old and supports not using them in children less than four years old. Rare but serious side effects have been reported, including death, convulsions, rapid heart rates, and decreased levels of consciousness. OTC cough and cold products include decongestants, expectorants, antihistamines, and antitussives (cough suppressants). The FDA is still reviewing data concerning the safety of these products in children aged 2-11 years. There have been serious side effects reported in this age group as well.
Common names include:
- Pseudoephedrine
- Phenylephrine
- Naphazoline
- Oxymetazoline
Decongestants are all related to adrenaline (epinephrine). Some are available topically (such as nose sprays and eye drops), and others are taken by mouth. Decongestants constrict blood vessels, thereby reducing swelling in inflamed tissues like the nose. Because they can act as mild stimulants, they are often paired with antihistamines to counteract the sedative effect of antihistamines. The last two on the list, naphazoline and oxymetazoline, are often found in eye drops.
Possible side effects include:
- Over-stimulation, such as nervousness and insomnia
- Raised blood pressure
- Rebound congestion—If these drugs are used for long periods of time, membranes get used to the effects, so that stopping the medicine produces the swelling and congestion that was originally being treated. This is a common problem with nose drops and sprays.
Common names include:
- Diphenhydramine
- Chlorpheniramine
- Brompheniramine
The main effect of these drugs is to dry up secretions. They are also sedating, so much so that they are ingredients in all OTC sleep remedies.
Second-generation antihistamines such as loratadine (Claritin) are considered nonsedating and may be available without a prescription.
Possible side effects include:
- Sedation
- Drying of secretions, which impairs their clearance and may lead to complications (such as sinusitis , otitis , and pneumonia )
- Retention or difficulty passing urine
- Rashes
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Indigestion
- Constipation
- Anemia
Talk to your doctor before taking these medicines if you have the following conditions:
- Urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate gland
- Glaucoma
- Breathing problems
These side effects may worsen your condition.
- Acetaminophen
- Ibuprofen
These drugs reduce both pain and fever. A combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen may be more effective in reducing fever than acetaminophen alone. Talk to your doctor before combining medicine or giving medicine to your child. In some cases, fever reduction may not be beneficial, since fever helps fight off the infection.
Note : Aspirin is not recommended for children or teens with a current or recent viral infection. This is because of the risk of Reye syndrome . Ask your doctor which other medicines are safe for your child.
Prescription pain relievers, like codeine, do not lower fever. Codeine also suppresses coughing.
Possible side effects of ibuprofen include:
- Stomach irritation, ulceration, and bleeding
- Allergic reactions
- Kidney damage (very rare)
- Liver damage (very rare)
Possible side effects of acetaminophen include:
- Allergic reactions that damage blood cells or cause rashes
- Taking too much can damage the liver or kidneys
Common names include:
- Guaifenesin
An expectorant decreases the thickness of respiratory secretions so that they can more easily be coughed up or blown out. The same effect can usually be obtained by breathing wet air, as either a cold mist vaporizer or steamy shower.
Possible side effects include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Headache
- Rash
- Dizziness
Common names include:
- Dextromethorphan
- Codeine (available by prescription)
These medicines help suppress the urge to cough. This is useful if your cough is dry, but may not be a good idea if you have secretions to clear. Dextromethorphan appears to be effective in suppressing a cough based on studies. Codeine, though, has not been shown to be as helpful. Talk to your doctor about whether these medicines might be useful for you.
Throat lozenges may be able to reduce the pain caused by a sore throat and may decrease how long it lasts. Lozenges with amylmetacresol and dichlorobenzyl alcohol (such as Strepsils) may be helpful.
Whenever you are taking a prescription medicine, take the following precautions:
- Take your medicine as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Do not stop taking them without talking to your doctor.
- Do not share them.
- Know what results and side effects to look for. Report them to your doctor.
- Some drugs can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one drug. This includes OTC medicine, herb or dietary supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills so you don't run out.
If you have a common cold or if you are usually healthy but have influenza, you may be able to safely ride it out with home remedies and prescription or OTC medicines. However, be aware of these signs that your cold or influenza is transforming into a more serious condition:
- New symptoms develop after the initial onset
- Significant fever (over 101°F for colds, and fever beyond 3-4 days for influenza)
- Yellow, green, or bloody sputum (secretions from your lungs)
- Persistence of symptoms beyond two weeks (most colds last 1-2 weeks)
- Localized pain anywhere (ears, sinuses, head, chest)
- Yellow secretions on your tonsils
- Difficulty eating, drinking, or swallowing
- Difficulty breathing
- Changes in your mental status
- Neck stiffness

Cho'gall's sound files, in Dire Maul, indicate that there are two traitors, an Alliance and a Horde figure, who are working from within to give the Twilight's Hammer Cult a leg-up in recruiting. We can now surmise that those traitors are Archbishop Benedictus, now known as The Black Bishop, for the Alliance and Grand Magister Rommath for the Horde. Sound clips follow:

Justice Award Nominations Open to the Public
For 40 years the American Samoa Bar Association has been promoting justice in American Samoa. Success has only been accomplished with champions of justice throughout the territory. To promote these champions, the ASBA is pleased to announce the first annual Arthur A. Morrow Justice Award.
The Arthur A. Morrow Justice Award is presented to an individual or organization that has, through their actions, made significant improvements to justice and the rule of law in American Samoa. This may be demonstrated through improving access to the judicial system, showing superior professional competence, professionalism, and civility, bringing justice to those who need it, upholding the highest principles and traditions of integrity, or otherwise empowering the rule of law in the territory.
Arthur A. Morrow was American Samoa's longest serving Chief Justice, sitting on the bench from 1937-1966. His term created much of the jurisprudence that is the foundation for American Samoa's legal system. Chief Justice Morrow's commitment to the territory and its justice system serve as the basis for the Justice Award.
Please help the Bar by nominating a champion of justice. Nominations are open to the public.
To submit nominations, please follow the criteria below:
1. Nominations must be in writing.
2. Nominations must include:
i. Name, village, email address, and phone number of the nominator;
ii. Name, village, email address, and phone number of the nominee; and
iii. Maximum one page description of the nominee and why they should receive the award.
3. ASBA officers and staff are not eligible for the award.
4. The ASBA decision is final, and no correspondence concerning their decision will be available.
5. Nominations must be received by March 19, 2012.
The Bar Discusses the 14th Amendment
The Bar will be hosting a happy hour at Maliu Mai this evening (March 5) from 5pm - 9pm. In attendance will be Mr. Neil Weare from the Constitutional Accountability Center (CAC) in Washington, DC. Mr. Weare is working on a federal case that would attempt to apply the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment to the territories, making all territorial citizens constitutional US citizens. He would like to meet with the Bar to discuss the case and the opinions of the Bar. Obviously, such a case could have wide-ranging implications for the territory, so it is encouraged that everyone come out tonight to discuss. Attached is a brief summary of the issue, and more information about CAC can be found at http://www.theusconstitution.org/.
Traffic Stop CLE Materials Available On New CLE Page
The ASBA has opened a new page on its website. The CLE page will show materials and updates regarding CLE events. The premiere event is the traffic stop lecture by Judge Ward held in November 2011. The event was the first of the Brown Bag Lunch Series with Judge Ward. The link to the CLE site is below.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
We have three properties that would potentially be affected by the proposal: Evergreen Place with 18 units of independent living senior housing, Mad River Meadows Apartments that contains 12 elderly and 12 family apartments and the Verdmont Mobile Home Park which has 29 lots serving seniors and families.
Each property we have would be expensive to hook up to the new system and initially the operating costs would increase but we believe that over time the investment would be worth it. Each project has to maintain the extensive water treatment systems necessary to operate a small water system according to state regulation. The capital costs of maintaining and replacing pumps, tanks and controls for those systems (not to speak of having to replace a failed well on a limited site) would be eliminated with a municipal system plus the cost of paying a licensed contractor to monitor the systems and report to the state would not be necessary anymore. Thus we feel it is a good investment for the properties, enhancing their long-term stability.
At our project in Warren we are developing, in partnership with Housing Vermont, 18 family units, designated to be affordable for people who work on the mountain, at the previous site of the Blue Tooth. The exceptional water and septic complications and expense for projects like this make them extremely expensive and difficult to do. Land and infrastructure costs have defeated many projects like this in The Valley and the people who are most affected are the people who work in our schools and local businesses. People with low incomes face challenges everywhere but where land costs are high and municipal infrastructure non-existent, moderate and middle-income people face the dilemma of not being able to afford to live in the areas in which they work. At CVCLT we believe a successful community needs residents from every socio-economic level to thrive and this is a move that can make the town more affordable to more people.
The businesses that provide the jobs and attract the visitors that support the economy of The Valley as a whole need reliable infrastructure to be able to sustain their operations, have options for growth and the flexibility to adapt to changing needs. Developing a stable reliable water system will help support the continuing viability of the businesses in Waitsfield, the commercial center of The Valley. Everyone is concerned that development be controlled and the value of living where we do maintained. A good solid base of municipal services broadens the options available for the good local planning that can keep Vermont a place we cherish to live in.
CVCLT believes investing in the infrastructure of the town is the right thing to do. Smart, controlled investment in infrastructure stabilizes a community and provides it opportunities which individual solutions to water and septic do not. In this project the end users, businesses (like us) and the residents of the town who participate, are who will pay for the project and the town gets the advantage of the sizable investment from the federal and state sources of funds available for projects like this, which constitutes a major investment in improving the resources of the town returning tax dollars directly to the community. We believe it is a smart way to grow, support it and hope the community as a whole can get behind it so that enough participants enroll to make it viable and affordable.

Well I wish I could say that I use this software. But I don't. I do remember when Apple made the change and at the time it felt like it was being marketed to me in the same way Aperture was marketed to be a step up from iPhoto...this was a step up from iMovie. I was very surprised that Apple would risk losing so many of their core users... Professionals. What a cool job it must be to be able to use this type of software on a daily basis.
Apple updates Final Cut Pro, begins new campaign to bring editors back
Apple has updated its Final Cut Pro X, Motion, and Compressor applications, coinciding with the launch of a new campaign to bring former Final Cut Pro users back to the software. Final Cut Pro X now supports Sony's XAVC codec up to 4K resolution, along with ProRes Logic C from ARRI ALEXA cameras. There have been a number of other tweaks and fixes. Motion and Compressor have also had numerous bugs fixed.
This update comes as Apple launches a campaign aimed at wooing back professional video editors that may have turned to other software solutions after the initial launch of Final Cut Pro X. The changes made between Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X angered a great number of users, who were unable to do things like edit footage from multiple cameras or import their projects from Final Cut Pro 7. Apple's competitors in the space, Avid and Adobe, successfully convinced many video editors to switch to their software.
Adobe and Avid reps say they've made big gains in the last two years, while Townhill of Apple says Pro X has become the most downloaded version of the software ever. All three competitors agree that it's hard to find independent, third-party market research to verify any claims
Over the past couple of years, Apple has steadily adding features back into Final Cut Pro X, including the aforementioned multi-camera editing, and they have been able to get some users back. Their new campaign to bring editors back to Final Cut Pro features stories from profession video editors that are well-known within their industry talking about how they benefit from Final Cut Pro X's features, including its speed.

Apple updates Final Cut Pro, begins new campaign to bring editors back
They are probably both right -- before I switched to coding, I did Avid editing, and I still know a lot of people in that space. A *lot* of pro/prosumer shops that had been using Final Cut Pro switched (back) to Avid or to Adobe Premiere. At the same token, I know a lot of prosumer/consumer people who were put off by Final Cut Pro's price and/or daunted by its feature set who decided to pick up Final Cut X. Avid/Adobe will tout the former cases, and Apple the latter.
I'm sure these improvements will be a great plus to the software.
Just a small typo.. "Apple has steadily adding" has steadily *been* adding. Aside from that, I'm a college freshman and I do editing for the on camera acting class at my school. We use the older version Final Cut Pro 7 and just recently did a multicam shoot. I can see how some of these lacking features and bugs would frustrate editors and push them towards other software makers.. I would definitely be excited to try out the newly revamped FCP X though. I've never used it before and really want to see how it differs from 7.
I think it is great that Apple is constantly improving their programs to not only benefit their customers and bring in more money, but to further stimulate competition between competitors. I love it when big companies fight and strain to get the next great thing because in the end, I win.

While chatting in the Meet at the Dark Tower group, some of us thought it would be great to try to put some sort of SKMB convention together for 2013.
Do y'all want to give it the old college try and see what happens?
If God wills it there will be water/chocolate.
We, the ad hoc committee are leaning toward Maine as a location but that's up in the ether still. I imagined us all taking a cross country train trip together, picking up members as we traveled, but that's nuts, we had fun talking about it though.
I was thinking also that there could be one main meet up place and a few smaller satellite meet ups all joined together via Skype. I dunno if that's nuts yet.
I have no idea of how to make this work though. I am hoping that someone with the time and the talent can do the organizing. I will help out as much as I can, and am willing to do any grunt work assigned by who ever can take this on.
I do know that if I took the helm, we would wind up in the Mojave desert in July eating gunslinger burritos. I have met me and I know what I am capable of. No joke.
Of course most of you will realize that expecting Stephen King to attend is pretty much out of the question. Let's understand that, he's a busy man. We can meet him on our own at book signings and other venues of that nature. An open invitation should be offered with no expectations, we know he will be there in spirit. Our pert Ms. Mod has voiced a willingness to attend and represent and that's Tickety Boo! This is basically just so we all of the SKMB can meet somewhere and well.... hobnob.
So all interested parties please pipe up with suggestions and or a willingness to volunteer your time and efforts.

Wicked Edge New User Info
Here are some links to recommended reading for anyone now using or considering buying the WE Precision Sharpening System. I am going to just post a few good links for now with a concise description. Hopefully, as a group, we can work on categorizing them so they might make sense to people and be easy to find based on a particular topic of interest.
Sharpening Progressions from Tom Blodget on his Jende Industries BLOG
The first is a progression with photos using the WEPS diamond plates and superfine ceramic stones:
The Second is a progression that starts with the WEPS diamond plates and continues through the range of Chosera stones that are sold for the WEPS
The third link is to a progression starting with the WEPS diamond plates and continuing through a progression of Shapton PRO stones:
This is just for intial testing and to see how it turns out and hopefully add more as we go.
These three videos show the use of Chosera Stones built for and sold by Wicked Edge and the transition from diamond stones to water stones.
This is a grit chart showing the progression of stones according to abrasive description or grit...
And here is another grit chart: The Grand Unified Grit Chart! Done by Komitadjie, a member at the WEPS forum.
It is quite good as it has all of the WEPS, Chosera, Shapton, Edge Pro, 3M, and sandpaper grits (with much more) in one place. It is being updated regularly, so find the latest one to use.
A progression using stock stones at 800X on the new microscope:
Ascending Stone Progression at 800x
Here is an excellent thread on how the stops and compounds work with lots of micrographs for illustration.
A theory of how the WE diamond pastes work
Another stropping thread that talks about substrates and stropping compounds:
Thought on Hand Stropping with cheap compounds
It contains links to articles done by Ken Schwartz on compounds. Very good stuff.
More stropping material information
Non-diamond stropping compounds
How to keep your stones straight and true:
Maintaining Waterstones for use on the Wicked Edge
Another long thread with lots of photos and some real interesting results. The first post has many links to other threads as well.
Stock stone/strop progression (Lots of Pics!!)
There has been lots of discussion about grit size and end reults, Here is a link where our own Ken Schwartz takes part in a good discussion of the topic:

Cindy Slee 'Happy As A Jaybird' with her growing musical careerWritten by Amanda Tindall | | firstname.lastname@example.com
After going through nursing school and practicing for 15 years, Cindy Slee was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
The autoimmune disease took what had been her life, her whole career, and made it completely impossible to maintain.
But Slee said music had been a part of her life no matter what she was doing, so when nursing was no longer an option, she was able to return to that love. The switch led her to write "Happy As A Jaybird," which she donated to the American Red Cross "Red, White & You, Too!" CD.
RELATED: Summer CD of local music to benefit American Red Cross
Even before nursing school, Slee said she fell in love with the guitar. By her late teens, she was performing in groups. In nursing school, she met Theresa Konwinski and the two wrote and played music together.
After nursing school, Konwinski moved, but they continued to write songs via email. When Konwinski moved back to the Toledo area, she suggested the two get back together. The band they formed was called Stat Band, because they were both nurses, Slee said.
"Happy As A Jaybird" was conceived when Slee heard her mother say that exact phrase.
"Any songwriter will tell you that it's so great when a song just falls into place," Slee said.
"I was out West, visiting my parents in Las Vegas, and I keep a guitar there. My mom said something about being 'happy as a jaybird,' and I said, 'You know, that'd make a great line.' So probably by the time I left there, I had written the lyrics."
Slee said her inspiration, what drives her to play music, is that no matter what mood you might be in music has the ability to take you to a different place.
"She has demonstrated a lot of courage over the years," Konwinski said. "She's had some really dark days. When she first got [diagnosed], it progressed so quickly that we were afraid she'd never get out of the wheel chair. She's so determined and not self-pitying. And her fearlessness is what gave her the ability to do music on her own. That's not easy to just get your guitar and yourself and play in front of people."

At the post-fight press conference following the event, UFC president Dana White confirmed Belfort is next in line for a shot at the Middleweight title 'barring something crazy', of course. At the media scrum later that night, White was asked about a hypothetical issue of Belfort possibly being unable to fight in the US, namely under the NSAC in Nevada:
That's not true, that's completely not true. There's no reason Vitor Belfort can't fight in Las Vegas or anywhere else in the United States. Vitor Belfort has not been abusing TRT. In a million fucking years, I'd never let that happen.
Belfort revealed a couple weeks ago that he's been using TRT for three years now. He's been granted exemptions by the Brazilian commissions for his three fights this year as well. His use of the treatment is seen as more controversial than other TRT users because of a failed drug test fro 4-hydroxytestosterone in 2006. That failed test caused NSAC director Keith Kizer to say his commission probably wouldn't grant Belfort an exemption if he fights again in Nevada.
White obviously disagrees with Kizer, but there's no telling if that will be an issue yet. First, Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman have to rematch for the title at UFC 168. After that, the UFC will have to decide when and where they want the winner to face Belfort.

For Sale: 2015 28' ULITMATE SPRINT CAR TRAILER
Ad #182181345 Posted:2015-07-30 07:41:24
This ad expires in 8 days.
Once again with the help from the good folks at Pancho's Racing Products we have come up with the ultimate affordable 28' Sprint Car Trailer!
This United Super Hauler is built with twin "Super Spread" 7K axles to handle all the equipment you could need at the track. We added 30" of extra height to the walk on roof so the wing stays on the car. We added multiple fluorescent lights inside, quartz work lights at the rear and nice cabinet package up front for the perfect at the track work space. We added extra electrical outlets inside and out and equipped it with a 50 AMP panel box with a 25" lifeline.
The rubber coin floor has 10 heavy duty D-rings BOLTED to the frame to keep your car and cargo in place. We have all seen the screwed down rings pull loose! We added 3' of E-Track welded to the walls on each side for additional equipment tie down. No more tie straps stretched around the trailer and wrapped around whatever looks secure! (yep been there done that too!)
We lined the inside walls with white aluminum as well. This is not one of those converted landscaper trailers with the white vinyl walls that look filthy after one race.
All in all you will not find a better, more thought out trailer for the price. nothing frivolous just functional. We have tried very hard to build a trailer that we would use ourselves with out reservation. Sure you can build it cheaper but is it what you really want?

Last week's BBC programme The price of life highlighted the plight of cancer sufferers awaiting a decision by NICE, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, on a new drug that could add years to their lives. If approved by NICE, the drug, called revlimid and used to treat a cancer called multiple myeloma, could be prescribed freely on the NHS. If rejected, the prohibitive cost would spell the end of the line for many patients. In the light of the suffering facing myeloma patients and their families, the main criterion for NICE's decisions — cost-effectiveness — seems almost inhumane. But exactly what kind of mathematical considerations go into NICE's calculations?

What would you like to know about your Universe — The third online poll
This poll is now closed. The most popular question was: "What are dark energy and dark matter?" We will publish the answer in an article and podcast on Plus shortly. Thank you for taking part!
This is our third online poll in our series to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Choose your favourite question from the list on the right, and we'll put the one that proves most popular to world-leading astronomers and cosmologists, including Astronomer Royal Martin Rees and author and cosmologist John D. Barrow. The poll will remain open for a month and the answer will be published in a Plus article and podcast soon after. If your most burning question is not on this list, then leave a comment on this blog and we'll endeavour to include it in a future poll — there will be four more polls dotted throughout the year.
The most popular questions in polls far were was What happened before the Big Bang? and Are the constants of nature really constant?. Read the answers by clicking on the links, and discuss them on our blog.

This special double issue of Plus is cause for celebration: both of the endeavours of physics to understand our Universe, and of the writers of tomorrow who may help explain it. We explore the frontiers of modern physics: searching for alien life in space and exotic particles in the LHC, looking through the Hubble Space Telescope, imagining a holographic Universe, and wrestling with one of the biggest problems in modern physics. And the winners of the Plus new writers award 2009 explore the most beautiful equation of them all, explain the credit crunch, and unveil the curse of good looks. We raise a toast to mathematics and physics — to all the explorers of the new frontiers and the new writers who can take us there!

We took the question to cosmologist John D. Barrow, Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge, and here is his answer. Please feel free to discuss the answer by leaving a comment on this blog. We'll periodically check back with the experts to try and answer interesting further questions.

Not so fantasy football
Next time you're off to the bookies to place your footie bets, you might be better off consulting a statistician than a football expert. On his Understanding Uncertainty website self-confessed football un-enthusiast David Spiegelhalter used a simple statistical model to predict the results of the last ten Premier League matches, which were played on the 24th of May 2009. In terms of predicting whether a game ended in a win, draw, or defeat for the home team, Spiegelhalter's model was right nine out of ten times, compared to the seven out of ten score achieved by the official BBC football expert Marc Lawrenson, and the model predicted two scores exactly.
Spiegelhalter and his co-authors Mike Pearson and Ian Short quantified the individual teams' attack strength and defense weakness based on their past performance, and then, with a little help from probability theory, used these ratings to work out the most likely outcome of a particular match. (You can see the details of this model on his website.) "These types of models have been refined over the years and are now used by bookies and sports betting companies, who employ experienced statisticians and make use of the latest computational methods," says Spiegelhalter. But he concedes that his very basic model might have been a bit lucky this time: "One thing you can bet on is that simple models like this one will be very unlikely to out-perform the odds being offered by bookies, so don't use them to spot good bets!"
Spiegelhalter announced his prediction on the BBC Radio 4 programme More or Less, which was aired before the final match day, so you can be sure that no hindsight fraud was involved.
David Spiegelhalter is Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge and regularly writes for Plus (see for example his article on the 2006-2007 Premier League season). His Understanding Uncertainty website is designed to inform the public about everything to do with risk and uncertainty, from health scares to predicting election results.

The women's squad set several season-bests in the sprints as Le'Shel Vines finished eighth in the 100 meters after running a personal season-best 11.94. Lexis Lambert was 10th in the 200 in a CSUN season-best 24.29 while Hafsatu Kamara finished 12th in a season-best 24.37. Lambert also ran well in the 400 clocking a season-best 55.76 which was good for ninth. Jenna Vincej also posted a season-best 56.75. Stephanie Hicks rounded out the sprinters performance with a sixth-place finish in the 100 hurdles posting a season-best 13.98.
The CSUN 4x400 relay team of Dirks, Vincej, Ciza Eze and Lambert clocked a season-best 3:42.86 which was third-best at the meet.
The field events also yielded season-bests as Tiana Webberley finished second in the pole vault after clearing a season-best 3.96 meters. Webberley bettered her previous season-best of 3.85. Ashley Henry also eclipsed her season-best in the high jump after clearing 1.67 meters and Hicks posted a season-best 5.60 in the long jump.
In the throws, Jakayla Daniels took ninth in the shot put with a big PR of 13.72 meters. Mariah Counts and Marissa Rossi both posted season-bests in the javelin as Counts tossed 42.47 and Rossi 40.15.
The Matador men also ran well in the sprints as Carl Horsley finished third in the 100 meters in a season-best 10.48. Nicholas DiMartino also posted a season-best finishing eighth in 10.83. Kenneth Stone bettered his season-best in the 200 finishing in 22.01 while Ezekial Glass ran a CSUN season-best 1:53.18 in the 800 meters, over one second better than his previous season-best.

Among the men's highlights in the field events, DiMartino finished second in the long jump with a season-best 7.48 meters.
