16 and Pregnant's Danielle Cunningham Defends Jenelle Evans: "I Have Faith in Her"
MTV's Teen Mom girls enjoy themselves a good game of verbal volleyball every now and then (ahem, Farrah Abraham), but for the most part they couldn't be more supportive of each other. Take, for example, 16 and Pregnant's Danielle Cunningham, who is coming to Jenelle Evans's defense after last week's episode.
This season of Teen Mom 2 hasn't portrayed our Jenelley in the best light, highlighting her legal issues and marijuana addiction, not to mention her fraught relationship with her mom Barbara. Not only does Danielle feel bad for Jenelle, but she also empathizes with her.
"We both were at one point made out to be such horrible mothers. Me because at one point my mom had my son for a month last year. Which was the worst year of my life," she confessed on Sulia.
Now, things are going swimmingly for Danielle, who just received her GED and plans to attend college next fall. In the words of Danielle herself, "nobody's perfect and everyone can change" — including Jenelle.
"Every move she makes is getting negative stuff thrown back at her and nobody knows how bad that truly feels until they have it happen to them," she continued. "Who are you guys to think she will never change? Jenelle is young and I have faith that her and Jace will soon live a great life. I've always had faith in Jenelle and I will continue to do so."
Do you agree with Danielle? Can Jenelle really change? Tell us below!

The Town of Elkin announced through a proclamation that March 11-17 is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week - 2013 through a proclamation.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and disabling disease of the nervous system in which the progression, severity and specific symptoms cannot be foreseen, say doctors.
According to Elkin Mayor Lestine Hutchens, someone new is diagnosed with MS every hour.
"The disease can erode a person's abilities and hopes, halt a careen and unravel the fabric of families," she said.
Hutchens said that finding a cause and developing a method of prevention for multiple sclerosis is an important task that all Americans and North Carolinians should support.
"We encourage anyone in our community who has multiple sclerosis, or a family member with MS, to learn more about the resources, programs, information and support available through the National MS Society and other agencies," said Mayor Hutchens.
"We are grateful Elkin has chosen to support our efforts to create a word free of MS," said Cameron Harris, director of Development and Operations of the Central North Carolina Chapter of the National MS Society.

CRESTVIEW — First-year Crestview High School boys basketball Coach Greg Watson got a preseason look at his team on Monday and Tuesday during the Fort Walton Beach Tip Off tournament.
Crestview picked up wins over South Walton and Blount, Ala., but Watson says there is work to do as the Bulldogs continue preparing for their season opener next Saturday at Pensacola High.
"The good thing about playing the preseason games is I felt like it kind of gave us an idea of who we wanted to be," he said. "We didn't play extremely well, but I thought we got better from game one to game two. We are a long way from where we want to be, but I saw a lot of good things we can improve on that will make us a quality team by the end of the year.
"Our guys are working hard. We are trying to fix things that we need to improve on. I couldn't ask for a better bunch of guys."
Perhaps the most important thing Watson is trying to instill in the team is a defensive mindset.
"The biggest thing for me is defense comes first," Watson said. "That's not necessarily one of our weaknesses, but we need a lot of improvement on man defense and that's one thing we are going to play. But it did improve from game one to game two.
"We want to be really tough in half-court man defense. We want to outrebound everyone we play ... I want our team to be known as very good defensively and very good at rebounding."
Watson said he prefers to run a half-court, man-to-man defense, but he won't hesitate to switch to a full-court press or a zone defense.
Watson hopes to take advantage of Crestview's athletes on offense and create baskets in transition with players like Josh Hinton and Ronnie Baylark. But he says the team's strength might come on the inside with Denzel Ware and L.J. Aaron.
"We have an advantage over a lot of teams inside, with Denzel and L.J. inside that can cause some teams trouble," he said. "We really want to pound it inside and kind of play offense from inside out."
Crestview's transition offense will be missing combo guard Tay King until around the first year. King, who Watson said will play some point guard and some two guard, hurt his right shoulder just as he was starting play his best basketball.
"He was coming on and was going to be a really good player for us," Watson said of King. "Once we get him back, we feel like we are going to be real strong."
Watson said the preseason games' biggest benefit was it gave him and his team the opportunity to go through the mechanics of a game in the way the coaches and the players respond.
"I told our guys, 'Obviously you want to win because you want to win every game you play, but this is a chance for us to go see what we need to work on,'" he said. "It's easy in practice, but this gave us a chance just to go over game situations. For example, how I do timeouts and things are different than other coaches so I felt it was good to get us ready for the season."

(CNN) -- The young woman who says she was on the phone with Martin when he encountered George Zimmerman lied about her whereabouts at another time, the prosecution told a judge Tuesday.
The woman, whose name has not been released, had told prosecutors that she was in the hospital on the day of Martin's funeral. The defense then sought her medical records.
In court on Tuesday, the state said the woman, known as Civilian Witness 8, was not in the hospital, so there are no such records to be turned over.
Prosecutors did not immediately respond to a question Wednesday from CNN about the witness's credibility and how this may affect the case.
Questions have long surrounded the woman. Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump first played an audio recording of the woman a year ago at a news conference. The recording seemed to have very poor quality.
Police said that as of that point they had not interviewed her.
Crump said the witness was 16 years old. But prosecutors have since said she was already 18 -- legally an adult -- on the night of the killing, February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida.
Martin, 17, was walking to the house of his father's fiancee after a trip to a nearby convenience store.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, has acknowledged shooting Martin.
Crump has accused Zimmerman of killing Martin "in cold blood."
Zimmerman says he acted in self-defense.

I must have been about 8 years old and it must have been a typical steamy Florida summer evening. Dad thought to treat us kids to something special – he always did – and this time it was a trip over to some shopping center or gas station parking lot to take a trip down the huge slide. You remember those things? Three story or so tall monster slides where one would grab a burlap sack, climb about a million steps up to the top, sit on the sack and slide down, up and down, up and down over metal waves like some futuristic ocean until one reached the bottom? Well, I was hesitant to begin with, not really liking high places, not really trusting unexpected things. I had scary 8-year-old visions of my burlap sack flying out of control, slithering this way and that on the sleek aluminum of the slide, heading down faster and faster until I crash-landed in a lump at the bottom, unconscious, at my dad's feet. Someone handed me one of those scratchy mats and pushed me towards the steps. Up and up and up I climbed following along behind my sister and brother, trying to work up the courage, convince myself that it was all okay, that it would even be fun. I finally made my way to the top landing and watched as my siblings gleefully slid away into the distance. I grabbed hold of the railing as someone called to me, told me that it was my turn and gently tried to steer me towards the slide. I saw my father tiny as an ant smiling up at me from the parking lot. He seemed miles and miles away. I shook my head and turned back towards the steps and, pushing my way down the narrow, narrow stairway wide enough for one, I worked my way down, clutching the hated burlap bag close to my chest, holding on to the railing for dear life and trying not to cry. My dad took me into his arms and assured me that it was okay, and we left.
My childhood was filled with special moments like this one – although not all of them flavored with my unpredictable, irrational fears. My youth was far from pampered and luxurious, but my father loved to fill our weekends with kid-sized fun. Winters would mean trips over the bridge to the Indian River Orange Groves where we could pick bagfuls to bring home. Februaries found us knee-deep in strawberry plants at U-Pick-Em, tiny hands filling little wooden boxes and tummies with ripe, sweet, juicy fruit. Summers found us piled into the old green station wagon, dad behind the wheel, off to spend a Saturday in the deep end of the high school swimming pool or a Saturday night at the drive-in, dressed in our pajamas and eating popcorn watching The Love Bug, The Ugly Dachshund or The Absent-minded Professor. He took us for ice cream treats at Dairy Queen, seafood dinners at Peg Leg's or The Lobster Shanty, to the park for picnics on the 4th of July, sparklers in hand. We squished into the car, the 4 kids and him, and visited St. Augustine and her fort, walking up on the ramparts, drinking from the famous Fountain of Youth and getting to pick out one souvenir from the gift shop each (plastic, bejeweled swords!) or over to the Antique Car Museum and The Barnum & Bailey's Circus Hall of Fame in Sarasota. And all those trips to Disney World after it opened. We were teens by then, but those family trips were the most special, days dashing from ride to ride, eating to our hearts content, and always leaving with a souvenir, those Mickey ear caps, boxes of candy or a lollipop, a huge swirl of colors, or even something with our name engraved or painted on the side. And he drove us down to visit his brother in Miami Beach! Lunches at Wolfie's deli, afternoons dodging in and out of the towering palm trees that lined the street in front of Uncle Eli's house, always coming home with our prize: a magnificent coconut that we would then spend hours tossing down the driveway and hammering at with a screwdriver until it finally gave way to our efforts, cracked open and offered us her sweet, sweet meat.
Summer is waning, the warm air turns chill and the sun now has that special glow of my long-ago Florida winters, dazzlingly bright, tinged with nostalgia. As Autumn arrives amidst a shower of golden leaves, Mactweets has asked us to turn back the pages of time and conjure up the best memory of our childhood summers. The freedom of my youth spent outside in the heat, biking, hopscotch, shooting baskets, the grill fired up and ready for the hot dogs and hamburgers to be tossed onto the flames or dad in the kitchen making his amazing foot-long submarine sandwiches or waiting for the butter to start to sizzle on the pancake griddle, this was my childhood summer, filled with road trips and good food, sweets and dad's homebaked cakes. He denied us nothing, was thrilled to watch us discover the joys of everything.
So for this month's Childhood Summer Memory Mac Attack challenge, I have made Cotton Candy Macarons filled with creamy chocolate ganache. What says a kid's summer more than Cotton Candy, Candy Floss, Barbe à Papa: huge feathery light pom poms of fluffy sugary sweet silk? Take a huge mouthful and let it melt on your tongue all bubble-gum sweet, the floss sticking in your hair, onto your face and all over your hands. I still get excited when I see a Cotton candy stand and beg for a pale pink cloud on a stick to eat, of course, as I stroll through a street fair, a festival or a circus. And chocolate? Ah, the best summer memories I have are bottled up in icy cold Yoohoos as they clunk down from the depths of the soda machine and out the slot into my waiting, eager hand, cooling down a hot, miserable day of grade-school summer rec or a bowl of dad's chilled chocolate pudding topped with whipped cream just waiting for me to pull it out of the fridge.
filled with Heavenly Chocolate Ganache is a play on my usual macaron recipe:
7.2 oz (200 g) confectioner's/powdered sugar
4 oz (115 g ) ground blanched almonds
3 large egg whites (about 3.8 – 4 oz/ 110 – 112 g)
1 oz (30 g) granulated sugar *
1/8 tsp pink gel food coloring (the Cotton Candy sugar adds pink coloring too)
* I replaced all of the granulated sugar with granulated pink Cotton Candy-flavored sugar
Prepare 2 large baking sheets. On 2 large pieces of white paper the size of your baking sheets, trace 1 ½ inch-diameter circles (I used the wide end of my pastry tip) evenly spaced, leaving about ¾ - 1 inch between each circle. This will be your template to help you pipe even circles of batter onto the parchment paper. You will be able to reuse these endlessly. Place one paper on each baking sheet then cover with parchment paper. Set aside. Prepare a pastry bag with a plain tip (Ateco #807 or #809).
Sift the powdered sugar and the ground almonds together into a large mixing bowl.
In a standing mixer or with a hand mixer, whip the egg whites for 30 seconds on low speed then increase speed to high and whip until the whites are foamy and opaque. Gradually add the granulated sugar as you are whipping the whites until you obtain a stiff glossy meringue.
Gently but firmly, using a plastic or silicone spatula, fold the whipped whites into the powdered sugar/ground almonds mixture, turning the bowl as you lift and fold, scraping up the dry hidden at the bottom, making sure you fold in all the dry ingredients completely. If adding gel food coloring, add it in as you begin to fold the whites in with the dry. Once all of the dry ingredients are moistened, give several good, firm folds to smooth out the batter. When the batter is ready to pipe, it should flow from the spatula like lava or a thick ribbon. To test to see if you have folded it enough, drop a small amount onto a clean plate and jiggle it slightly. The top should flatten, not remain in a point. If it doesn't flatten, give the batter a few more folds and test again, but do not overfold or the batter will be too runny.
Fill your prepared pastry bag with the batter. Pipe circles onto the parchment paper, using the traced circles on the template sheets to guide you, holding your pastry bag above each circle and piping into the center. DO NOT FORGET TO CAREFULLY REMOVE THE WHITE PAPER TEMPLATE FROM UNDERNEATH THE PARCHMENT PAPER. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS TEMPLATE TO GO IN THE OVEN!
Preheat your oven to 280°F (140°C).
Allow the macarons to sit out for 30 minutes to an hour. The top of each shell should form a "skin" (it will feel like it hardened a bit when gently touched). Bake the shells for 15 – 20 minutes, depending on their size (when I touched macs that were not quite done, the top jiggled a bit as if there was still a bit of liquid batter between the top and the "feet" so I let it continue to bake another minute.) I turn the trays back to front halfway through the baking.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately slide the parchment paper with the shells off of the hot baking sheet and onto a surface, table or countertop. Allow to cool before sliding the shells very gently off of the parchment by slipping a cake spatula under the shell as you lift it up or by peeling off the parchment paper carefully from the backs of the shells. Be careful or the center of the shell risks sticking to the parchment.
Prepare your filling as your macaron shells cool.
4 oz (120 g) chocolate, flavor of your choice, finely chopped
½ cup (125 ml) heavy cream
1 tsp unsalted butter
Place the finely chopped chocolate in a heatproof medium-sized bowl. Bring the cream and the butter just to the boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. When it comes to the bowl, pour the liquid over the chocolate and allow it to stand for 2 or 3 minutes. Stir until smooth and continue to stir until creamy and thick. Allow to cool to room temperature and piping consistency. If you need to (as I did) place the bowl in the fridge until the desired consistency is reached, taking the bowl out of the fridge and stirring every few minutes to check.
I sandwiched a stick into each macaron to be more like cotton candy.

You took me back to my cotton candy days Jamie girl. How strange that across 7 seas, in the days gone by, so much was common! Those are some touching memories, and those are some gorgeous macs. The heavy chocolate ganache, the colours, the flavours... awesome!
There is still some time left for me, my kitchen & my killing feet! Hope I get to dance this month!! xo

Thanks for sharing both your memories and your lovely macarons. I haven't braved macarons yet, but maybe one day I will!

ah, memories of cotton candy, now I'm reminiscing. I love them, too & now especially that you made them in macs.

I love these; such a fun combination of a gourmet delight with a childhood treat!
Also love that paper they're on...wish I could buy some of that now.
But mostly just have to say thanks for the walk down memory lane. I recall some of those very activities; different generation, different part of the country...same warm memories. Funny about that, huh?

Finally able to leave a comment! Don't ask. Love your macs, and loved the story about the slide - reminds me of the time I changed my mind about the high diving board at the JCC when I was 9!

i love this idea! they sound so yummy! i would love to make these for my kids, where did you get the cotton candy flavored sugar? ive seen cotton candy bits before, but not cotton candy flavored sugar. i would love it if you could recommend a website or store or brand to look for.
thanks for sharing your awesome recipe! i look foreword to making them myself!! :)

I too still have a love for cotton candy. Although now I'm satisfied with just a taste. And I sure would love to taste your cotton candy macs - everything's better with chocolate! Where did you find cotton candy sugar?

- Linda V @ Bubble and Sweet said...
Lovely macarons and lovely stories about your childhood. I watched my daughter going up one of those deathtrap slides at the local fair recently and couldn't believe she actually went down.
- September 18, 2010 at 8:44 PM
- Jamie said...
@Barbara/VinoLuciStyle - The strawberry paper is actually a paper napkin! I have a pack of them.
@RJFlamingo - And you won't share the high dive story?
@*sara* - The cotton candy sugar (a stunning pink color!) I found in my supermarket here in France. It is Daddy brand and their website is www.daddy.fr
Thanks to all of you for visiting! I love it and really appreciate it! Love to hear your comments!
- September 19, 2010 at 12:24 AM
- Jamie said...
@Barbara Bakes - Ah, tit for tat I can send you some if I find it again. Bought it in the big supermarket a couple months ago but when I was there last time I didn't see it. Will pick some up if I do.
@*sara* - I forgot to say. Look at what the cotton candy bits are. If they are basically sugar just grind them up fine until they are granulated sugar consistency. It's worth a try!

@Linda @ Bubble & Sweet - Deathtrap slides? LOL!!!

Gorgeous, gorgeous macarons Jamie! Love your childhood memories too... :) I am following a patisserie course at the moment from a master patissier who is very, very good in making macarons too! So guess what is on the menu for lesson three... :) Can't wait to make them again as it has been waaaay too long!

I'm not going to make it with a post this month, but I certainly will enjoy everyone else's. Buying cotton candy is a very special memory from summers at the ocean with my grandparents. Your macarons are pefectly lovely, Jamie.

isn't this more a meringue than a macaroon? and WHERE did you find cotton candy flavored sugar? I'll have to leave the nuts out due to allergies :(
thanks for a beautiful and unique treat.

Woo Hoo! They are awesome! I will have to try that flavor combo sometime too- it sounds so fun.

Your dad sounds like such a wonderful and creative man! I can relate to your fear of heights too! As far as the macs, they are delightful and just the right color to bring back these childhood stories. I cannot believe barbe a papa is 2 euros now!

What a wonderful post about your childhood. The macarons sound delicious. I've never made them before because I fret I will not succeed but I think this will be a challenge I will surely tackle soon.

Turning around at the top of the slide sounds exactly like something would have done (did do) as a kid. So many carnival rides that I avoided at the last minute!
And, this cotton candy pink is a delight. Love it.

- Su-yin said...
Oh my, these are so cute! Love the girly and playful look of these, trust you to come up with them. :)
p.s. Is it wrong that when I see the word "cotton candy", I immediately think of that Katy Perry video with all the candy and lollies....

Reading this, my dear friend, I can so easily picture a childhood made of cotton candy. Beautiful and wispy and dreamy all at once.

I love this idea. Would this sugar work for this recipe? http://www.popcornsupply.com/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=18560
- September 22, 2010 at 12:33 PM

@Amy: That sugar seems pretty close to what I used so I'd say go ahead! I'd certainly try it! Fun! Thanks for visiting!

Jamie - These are phenomenal! I was going to make a cotton candy macaron using cotton candy sugar too! As always, due to L-I-F-E, I couldn't squeeze it in :( However, I'm so glad I got to experience it through your gorgeous macs! Love the stick idea - simply perfection!

Glad you actually didn't go down the big, scary slide!
I gotta say the pink is a bit off-putting for me, but the chocolate is just the right shade of brown.

I'm sure by now you've all heard the shocking and creepy (sorry) news revolving around Manti Te'o's not so real girlfriend. (If you haven't click here quick.)
Well, me and my friends were talking last night, giving our opinions on the whole situation, when catfish was brought up. For those of you aren't familiar with this term;
"A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances."
Now whether you believe Te'o was in on it or not... I think we can all agree no one wants to be a victim of catfish. My advice? Don't put yourself in that situation!
Don't talk/accept their friend request/tweet at/any sort of communication with people you don't know. Hello haven't you heard of stranger danger? It still exists people!
I bet you're thinking, "but I have 100 mutual friends with them!" Well if you can't remember who they are, you probably don't know them.
Next thing you know they're sending you "hey sexy" messages and you respond (out of curiosity, anger, whatever) adding fuel to the fire. Just say no... to online creepers!
Alright guys, help the world become a better place. Leave a comment on how you avoid fake online friends.

Tony Bernard Haynes was sentenced in federal court Oct. 30 for the offense of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was indicted by a federal grand jury Nov. 15, 2012, on the charges of possession of marijuana and the firearm possession.
Haynes opted to accept the plea negotiation and pled guilty to count two of the indictment instead of going to trial.
The defendant was previously convicted of burglary, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, and possession of cocaine, all felonies. He served a year in the state prison system from Aug. 19, 2004, through Sept. 13, 2005, according to information from the Georgia Department of Corrections.
His most recent arrest took place March 25, 2011, when Jones County Sheriff's Department Deputy Angel Feliciano observed a taillight out and attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Haynes.
According to the deputy's report, the vehicle did not stop and continued into Baldwin County.

A quiet night in, just the two of us. The coffee table is spread with a festive cloth, candles lit and wine glasses placed next to plates and the best cutlery. Corks are popped and glasses filled, a time to toast our new year. JP has spent the afternoon making a traditional potée, slow-cooked potatoes, carrots, cabbage and sausages until tender and savory, leaving behind a wonderful, flavorful, warming broth to sip before the meal is served. A great Muscadet from La Domaine le Fay d'Homme has been chilled and we snuggle up together for a cozy, quiet celebration. The following day, the first day of the new year, may be gray and dreary, the drizzle of rain tapping delicately against the window panes, but the traditional New Year's Day boudin blanc (white sausage) with apples which have been cooked and caramelized until tender is served for lunch and has added a certain brightness, something festive to the day.
Since the Edict of Roussillon was written and signed in 1564 when Charles IX officially selected and set January 1st as New Year's Day, the French have been celebrating this day with family and close friends. La fête du réveillon de la Saint-Sylvestre, New Year's Eve and the night of Saint Sylvester, was a joyous festive celebration, bringing together, merging many traditions from many cultures.
Mistletoe has been hung since the time of the druids when it was said to bring good luck and kissing under the mistletoe – on New Year's Eve, not at Christmas – promised sentimental happiness. I saw my first mistletoe at the market, at the flower stalls, gorgeous branches ballooned out like debutants' gowns as they hung head down, tied to metal bars with string, lovely faded white beads clinging between the green, not at Christmas but just before the New Year. "Mistletoe?" I asked. "Yes. In France we hang the mistletoe on New Year's Eve, not at Christmas" JP explained. (How is it in 26 years of living here I never knew this?). "Will you kiss me?" I asked, as I leaned in towards the branches and puckered. "It isn't New Year's Eve yet," he responded as he turned his back and walked away.
It has long been a time to give small gifts, sweets or coins to children, a practice that over the years has extended to the concierge, the postman, the firemen, echoing the centuries- old practice of offering good luck charms and then food, clothing or money in Roman times. I wonder why we have not yet received our visit from the local firemen, offering their choice of calendars with the images of chalets in the snow and kittens posing next to vases of daisies for "purchase"?
Of course, the most widespread traditions for seeing in the New Year have to do with food! New Year's Eve is celebrated with the Feast of Saint Sylvestre, organized in abundance and joy! Oysters, smoked salmon on blinis and wedges of foie gras sweetened with a dab of onion confit or jam, pear chutney or another sweet and sour accompaniment are all well known New Year's specialties enjoyed by the French, celebratory each one. From there, some eat turkey with chestnuts, others boudin blanc, white sausage with caramelized apples, others choose something completely different as we did, choosing pure comfort food in the form of a potée.
And the joy then traditionally overflows on a wave of warmth and alluring scents from the feasts within out into the streets where folks will spread good cheer, joy and wishes for a Happy New Year to the sound of car horns and under the lights of fireworks. And be woken up in the wee hours of the morning by the snap of the front door as son tiptoes home and the drunken wailing and singing of joyous revelers in the streets below.
In 26 years of being together, JP and I have gone to one single New Year's Eve party. It was the first year that we were a couple, the December before we married. We traveled into the city to attend the party thrown by an acquaintance, a friend of a friend. We arrived and pushed our way through the crowd, a jumble of people gathered together to chatter excitedly about nothing, laugh loudly, show off and drop names, or so it seemed to the two of us. The artsy fartsy crowd. We sipped Champagne as we were jostled this way and that, the music deafening, the mob rowdy, and all we wanted to be was alone. And so after a short stay, a few hellos, and well before midnight, we slipped quietly out and sped home, to see in the New Year in each other's arms.
Since that December 31st all of those many years ago, spending the evening alone, just the two – or the four of us, as the case may be - has been a tradition, our New Year's Eve tradition, allowing us to celebrate just as we like it: quietly, peacefully and in each other's arms. Early that morning, we stroll over to the market (trying to beat the crowds) and, skirting in and out among those lined up at the fruit stalls or pressed against the chill case of capons and duck or foie gras, we purchase paper-thin slices of smoked salmon, wedges of cheese, tome, comté and camembert, hors d'oeuvres of stuffed olives, tiny marinated artichokes, goat cheese wrapped in papery, smoky strips of speck and a platterful of oysters straight from the Brittany coast, picking up a dense, chewy loaf of brown bread on the way home. Son will arrive later with a press of foie gras and a jar of onion confit, sweet and savory, and we dress our table in finery, turn on a movie and ring in the New Year.
And six days later, on Epiphany, we will all cut into a homemade galette des rois that I have filled with traditional frangipane, or maybe apple purée or sweet pastry cream, the puff pastry a deep golden brown, shattering at the first press of the knife, flicking bits all over the tabletop, all over our laps, all over the carpet. One of us will discover the fève, the tiny ceramic charm, in his or her slice, earning the title of King or Queen and the honor of wearing the paper crown on his or her head for the rest of the day.
Following a warming, hearty potée, one must finish the meal and the evening on a cool, light note. I concocted a lusciously light lemon mousse using the ricotta I had in the refrigerator. I kept both the sweetness and the tartness to a minimum, but feel free to increase either with the addition of more sugar and/or more lemon juice. Mound in tiny pre-baked pastry shells or add a ring of homemade ladyfingers or lemon sponge to create a beautiful charlotte. Something this simple to make and light and delicious and the possibilities are endless.
Serves 4 – 6
1 cup (250 g) ricotta cheese, drained if wet
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of ½ lemon and more to taste
1 Tbs limoncello, optional
3 Tbs powdered/icing sugar and more to taste
¼ - 1/3 cup (100 ml) cold heavy whipped cream
1 egg white (for body)
Beat or whisk the ricotta with the lemon zest, lemon juice, limoncello and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat the cold heavy whipping cream until thick and soft peaks hold. Gently and delicately fold into the ricotta mixture.
Using clean beaters in a clean bowl (I prefer a plastic bowl for beating whites), beat the egg whites until opaque; add one more tablespoon of the powdered/icing sugar and beat until peaks hold. Gently and delicately fold into the ricotta-cream mixture until well blended. Do not overfold as the mousse should be light and creamy. Taste and add more sugar and/or more lemon juice as desired, to taste.
Divide into glasses, verrines, cups or even wine glasses or Champagne flutes and chill until ready to serve, at least an hour.

We deserve better from the post office
Opinion: Letters To The Editor
I agree with the recent letter in Viewpoints about mail service in River Forest [The post office is only good for junk mail, Viewpoints, Jan. 22]. There was no delivery to my home for two days. When I worked, I wish I didn't have to work when I was tired. Does the post office not believe in its motto anymore? We in River Forest deserve better.

According to TV Guide the two most popular current TV shows are talent search shows (more like game shows then reality shows). American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.

The only thing that has changed since the creation of the early MMO game forums for AC1 and EQ1 are that there are far more people complaining...about people wanting things in game and far more people telling others they have no right or reason to ask for something in game.
There are few things more sad than a consumer that feels he, nor others have any power or rights.
Why many people feel "the genre is ruined" is because there is little left in the way of choices in the genre. Most of the games out now, or coming out in the future are basically the same kind of play-type. This is great if one likes that kind of gaming experience. Not so great when this is the only choice one has if they enjoy a different kind of gaming experience. Even the "old stand-bys" have changed themselves to resemble the "new fangled" games out today.
It is when a player seeks the game play experience they had years ago and find nothing (to very little) to their liking that phrases like "ruined the genre" come about. For that person, the genre truly is ruined. It is the lack of choices in the market offering different kinds of game play that sets some people over the edge.
Face it, if a person enjoys the fast paced, done with the game in 2-3 months type of game play, there are hundreds of games out there built upon that style of game play. If a player enjoys a more immersive, time-consuming style of game play, there is not much to choose from. And remember, this is just the first tier of "wants in a game" I am citing here. Then you have the myriad other "little things" that a player needs to find to fill their preferred gaming experience.

Life's like that, I just try and find the things in my niche that I enjoy and screw everyone else. I play a 2d space based sandbox browser/app game at the moment with a playerbase in the hundreds and am enjoying myself immensely, the majority would hate it if they even gave it a chance.
What the OP wants is for the budget of a Hollywood summer release to be used to make the oscar winning foreign language category winner. That will only happen when the muppets star watching subtitled films.
Play the games you like, support the developers who make the games you like, the muppets who like the crap aren't the problem, they are just having simple minded fun.

Unfortunately, could not agree more on OP. But many times mentioned, more people play, more psychiatric cases do as well. Who is terribly unpolite in game, I guess is also in real life. Whinners here are also such in real life. Not sure if there is anything to do. Oh, it is, normal players trying to ignore such cases and trying to enjoy game. And trying to skip all trolling posts.
And particularly I find problematic one that like one game and then they spend entire life on various forums bashing all the rest. Or bashing all from start to end without maybe even trying. From sick satisfaction I guess they get for bashing itself.
My main games are so far in mmo swtor, wow and rift. Now new great entry is GW2 for me. I hope they all stay. As I would like for TSW, CO, City of Heroes, ....
But despite i agree with op, you still can not take off responsability to terribly bad ceo's and in general company decisions. And what is worst part ... they will put out of job army of emplyes, destroying company .... yet they will have little problem finding new maybe even better payed job.

Because mmo games are wow clones and a single game idea is defining the rest and whole of the industry.
I agree with your points on gamers attitude but you are describing the kind of game play that is ruining the industry. Wow was a niche market ! once a niche market is coppied multiple times, it no longer becomes niche but rather common place.
Games developers need to make more games inline with swg- eve online- daoc- and such
Did you see how i was only able to list3 diffrent games!, and might i add that only only one of them is actualydiffrent.
Games developers know wow made money and still believe that its a niche market when it ain't. Wow has seen its hay day and lots its reputation for being a niche game.
Its time for dev teams to use their imaginations again and actually design games rather than copying thingd.
The movie industry is just as bad- dc comics films- marvel comics- films after books lol. Its as if the entire world has lost its motivation and ingenuity.
All we are seeing are clones of clones of the orriginal once great idea that just happened to be a new and exciting way of making games. But guess what!!!! THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE AND WOW IS NO LONGER A VIABLE BASE TEMPLATE FOR NEW GAMES.
The capitsls were for any developers that may accidently find my post.

i really dont understand this kind of thinking. the gear treadmill in vanilla wow was fine imo. it's when purple became the new blue that the fit hit the shan.
same with grinding. the mobs used to actually fight back .. now you just aoe the bejeebus out of everything and gather all of the mats way too fast.
the industry is to blame as much if not more so for dumbing the games down to make more profit.
LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity.

This is part of problem and source of all complains.
I blame people like the reddit poster for the current state, he does the same error the current developers do, and honestly it's just plain stupidity.
Same goes for all the WOW clone creators out there who want to milk openworld pvp gamers AND pve raid instance farmers, and explorers and creators etc.

Well the thing is that GW 2 doesn't really go into a complete a new direction. It is still a ThemePark with linear progression, class based, structured, managed, casual PvP with no real consequences and removed the end game and uhm... replaced it with nothing. They have done some cool things like weapon based skills and quests and made it so that there are no pre-defined tanks, healers etc which does innovate a bit but it is a far cry from a complete rework.
Regarding your second point about progression, this is all in your heads. There are no people who just wants gear progression for the hell of it, they probably just want something to do, in the end game, which is fun and I personally dont see what is left as endgame because you have pretty much done everything worth doing, which is FUN, by the time you are level 80. So then what? Reroll? Game Over?
Also, who is saying that this game is: "too different from WoW". The only persons I have heard saying that are you fanboys, when complaining about the complainers.

Is it even worth saying that games and their players don't exist in a vacuum? Trends in mmo's, whether from the development side or the players who play them, are reflections of trends in society as a whole.
It feels very much like stating the obvious to me, but I do think that sometimes posters here seem to have tunnel vision (judging solely by their posts) in that they seem to elevate the importance of games and their players above that of simple entertainment (ie the vehemence, passion, anger etc is out of proportion to the fact that these are games). Also, games and the players are often discussed as if they exist in a vacuum separate to the rest of society.
Irks me.

This crap of blaming players for games failing its just hilarious. And the fanboys who believe in those arguments are even more ridiculous.
This guys make games, are "experts" doing so... sell milions of copys and then can't retain players.
Obviously its our fault -.-
The degree of amatourism and lack of respect for players blow away all my imagination.
Maybe when "you" guys reach my age you start to be in the people's side instead of going blind with all the fanboyism and understand that.. if games are rushed into endgame in one month ITS BECAUSE THE GAME MAKE IT POSSIBLE.
All is handed to you, fast and easy.

If you want to argue that EVE and other sandbox games are "true" MMORPG's and that themepark games have devolved to simple MMOG's (sans the RPG, emergent gameplay and community features), I'll agree with you. I'll even agree that Sandbox and Themepark games are their own genres alltogether. They are that different. However, they are unfortunately lumped together on sites like this one and by the industry as a whole that insists on referring to them generally as MMORPG games. Maybe the term MMORPG needs to be abondoned alltogther so we can move on.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

What happened to the years when game companies would just make awesome games and tell us to deal with it if we didn't like it? Like how we used to do closed beta and it actually mean something aside from "free demo!" or "early start!"
I'm still waiting for an MMORPG where the developers actually want to play it afterwards. And not because they have to log a certain amount of hours or because they are GMs. It would be cool to see a game where the developers and producers aren't just in it for the money. It's so sad that so many games being produced have been derailed due to people complaining that it isn't easy/hard/RPG/FPS/All of the above. It's hard for us customers to enjoy something if the creator can't enjoy it just as much.
I played WoW up until WotLK, played RoM for 2 years and now Rift.

I think it's a mistake to fault a minority of an MMO player base that enjoy running from game to game with a "grass is greener" type of attitude screaming doom and gloom about the game they just left.
Edit: Keep in mind that while I did say the minority, I do think it is the majority of people on this site.

Rated 3.7 out of 5Â by 11 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5Â by chelseav beautiful yet disappointing I ordered this in red, size small. I was surprised at how it fit me in length similarly to the model in the photo. It hit way above the knee which was too short for me. I never have this problem with dresses! I'm very petite and only 5 foot so I figured if I ordered a small it would be a bit longer. The waist hit in an awkward spot on me making me look really wide which didn't help the already too wide cut on me for a small. The dress is beautiful...just not on my body type. Too bad. It was supposed to be my husband's gift to me for a valentine's dinner date. We had to return it. FIrst purchase ever with Free People. I was bummed it didn't work. Ended up finding the Black Daisy Lace Dress in store. Wore that instead. 5.16.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by HannahRad Dream dress indeed I purchased this dress for New Years and it is very lovely. My favorite thing about this dress is that it is so versatile! Easily dressed up and easily dressed down. I love when I can incorporate it into an outfit. 4.24.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by michelenj1 pretty bought the tea combo, runs true to size. I'm 5' 11" so i needed to wear a layering slip under. great piece for all year 3.16.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by marysol its okay the dress is not that special, its not worth for the high price. it is not bad, i just dont like the top of the dress fit at all. it has an attached slim cami, but its hard to put it in the right way... the bottom design is nice. i wont use it on the special ocasion i wanted but i will keep the dress for an ordinary day.... 3.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by virginia_321 LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DRESS!! I just picked up this dress today, and i love it. I'm 5'2 and between 100 - 110 bl, i ordered the small size, it fits me right and comfortable, and i believe even if i gain a little bit weight in the future, it can still fit me good. Strongly recommend it !! 2.28.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by cece31 too short I was so excited about ordering this dress. Based on the reviews, I ordered a S in the red (I wanted it for Valentine's day). I'm 5'10, 130 lbs. I guess I should have known the S would be too small, but everyone was saying the M was huge in the reviews. I finally got the dress in the mail and it was so so short. Maybe the longest part was 34 5/8" but it looked like more of a tunic on me. The slip also didn't cover up my bra so my bra was totally visible through the fabric from the front (as well as completely visible in the opening in the back). The fabric itself was very pretty and delicate and had an interesting/soft texture, but the waist line hit me at a strange place and the dress was just very unflattering. Maybe a bigger size would have worked, but I think this dress would look better on shorter girls. 2.10.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by castles LOVELOVELOVE This dress is AMAZING!! Love the lacy detail at the bottom of the dress. Great quality. perfect length... sexy length. I am 5'7 34DD and the medium/black fit great. Only thing... why it did not receive a perfect 5 out of 5... the waist is a tad bit big below the bust. No issue getting that part taken in. Great dress!!! 1.23.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hhalepis Lovely In Lace - Shipping = Not So Great This dress is just lovely. I wore it to a wedding and received a ton of praise. It's light, flawy, and has that casual bohemian look. My only complaint is that it took a long time for the dress to arrive (I live in Canada), so keep this in mind if you need the dress quickly and you live in the cold North! Otherwise, I'm happy with this purchase. 1.15.2013

Mayor Gus Wilson began the meeting with a proclamation to honor former Keep Jones Beautiful Executive Director Judy Webb, who retired from her position in February.
Webb became the director in 2007, and, although an employee of Jones County, devoted many hours to the beautification of Gray.
"During the course of her employment, Judy Webb has consistently performed to the highest levels of beauty and professional services," Wilson stated.
The zoning hearing concerned a request from Jeff Stark to rezone his building in Settlement Point from C-2 (general commercial) to M-1 (wholesale and light industrial). The purpose of the rezoning was to allow the manufacture of small screening machines and screens.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Officials with the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society don't know much about the dog or her 10 puppies that came in Wednesday. They don't know her name, what breed she is exactly or where she came from.
For now, the dog is going by the name 'Mom' and the 10 pups are still scurrying around with eyes shut and whimper anytime they feel disoriented in the cage they share with their mother.
The family of 11 was brought in to a Laurel Hill animal shelter Dec. 20 after the puppies were already born, according to Tricia Bryant, the director of the Humane Society and Adoption Center at PAWS.
View a photogallery of the canine family.
Bryant said that while getting large litters is not unusual for her animal shelter, it's not the normal time frame for it.
"Puppy Season," as she calls it, is typically from March to April.
Bryant said she believes the tiny canines are between two to three weeks old.
The mother is likely part pit bull, but Bryant said the puppies breed won't be known until they are several weeks older.
Three of the puppies came in with abscesses on their necks, but all the puppies are doing well now.
Once the puppies are weaned, they will be split up and put into foster care until they are eight to 10 weeks old and ready for adoption.
"The mother is very sweet and the puppies are so cute — one even has a heart on its paw — I'm sure they will be adopted quickly," Bryant said.
