I found a different interpretation of the 70 weeks. The 70 weeks don't point to Jesus at all. Not His first and not His second coming.
Quote from: Beloved Servant on October 09, 2011, 02:11:31 AMThe "second coming" is fallacy and never should be portrayed by the Sons of God.Really?Doug
The "second coming" is fallacy and never should be portrayed by the Sons of God.
Quote from: Doug on October 09, 2011, 06:25:55 AMQuote from: Beloved Servant on October 09, 2011, 02:11:31 AMThe "second coming" is fallacy and never should be portrayed by the Sons of God.Really?DougYes.The passage reads, "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear THE SECOND TIME without sin unto salvation" (Heb. 9:28). This verse can be rightly divided only when taken within the context of the verses preceding it. The writer says, "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must He often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world has He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself" (Heb. 9:24-26).Some have tried to find three "appearings" in these verses, but there are only two. And the words are taken by unthinking people as though "appear the second time," or "second appearing" were somehow the equivalent of, or a synonym for, the "second coming." But this is merely playing on the language of our English version. The two "appearings" in this passage not even refer to the so-called "first coming" of the Christ in Bethlehem's manger, or His "second coming" from heaven at the end of this age. As we shall see later, the Lord has had MANY APPEARINGS on this earth. And here TWO of those many appearings are contrasted, the one with the other, so that one is "first," and the other "second." Here we have His "first" appearing: IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD FOR US. "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands ... but into heaven itself, now to APPEAR IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD FOR US."In the types of the Old Testament the atonement for sin was not accomplished with the killing of the animal, and the sprinkling of the blood on the altar, the people and the tabernacle; not until the High Priest presented himself in the Most Holy Place, in the presence of God with the blood of the sacrifice. This was a type of the sacrifice of Christ for our sins. It was not accomplished nor completed with the shedding of His blood and His death on the cross. Before there could be any efficacy to His sacrifice He had to PRESENT HIMSELF IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD by His own blood to make atonement for our sins. This is what this verse is speaking about; Christ entered the Holiest, not of the earthly tabernacle, but into heaven itself, presenting Himself, appearing before the presence of God, in the eternal realm of spirit, as the bearer of our redemption. This verse says that He APPEARED in the presence of God for us. This is the first of the two appearings here contrasted, but certainly NOT His first appearing unto men! As we follow on in this scripture we are told that the Christ needed not to offer Himself often as did the High Priest of the Old Covenant, once a year with the blood of others. Only once did He need to offer Himself, as we read, "But now ONCE in the end of the age has He APPEARED (in heaven - vs. 24) to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." Once He has appeared, the first time, IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD FOR US!Verse twenty-eight speaks of another APPEARING, even a second appearing in connection with our salvation. It begins with these words, "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many (referring to verses 24 and 26 where it says He entered the Most Holy Place in heaven and appeared in the presence of God for us)". Now He appears again the second time: "And unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation." Most Christians believe this verse in referring to what is called the "second coming" of the Lord, a visible appearing at the end of this age. This is not alluding to such a coming at all. The word actually employed is wholly different. It is a general word, and it is the very word used with reference to His manifestation to His disciples after His resurrection. It occurs four times in I Cor. 15:5-8 where it is translated "was seen". The Lord appeared to many following His resurrection. The Lord Jesus appeared to the apostle Paul entirely apart from His two appearings set forth in Hebrews chapter nine. The Lord appeared unto Paul in the form of a bright light above the brightness of the noon-day sun. Jesus manifested Himself to Paul in the form of light to commission him to the work of the gospel. And the Lord said., "Rise, and stand upon your feet: for I have APPEARED unto you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of these things which you have seen, and of those things in the which I WILL APPEAR unto you" (Acts 26:16).And further, the definite article must be omitted: "So Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, SHALL APPEAR A SECOND TIME, apart from sin, to them that wait for Him, unto salvation." That is how the Greek text reads. The statement is not prophetic, but doctrinal; and the doctrine in question is not the so-called "second coming," but the PRIESTHOOD! It is not the prediction of an event to be realized by those who shall be alive on earth at the time of the end, but the declaration of a truth and a fact to be realized by every elect member of the body of Christ, no matter in what dispensation his sojourn upon earth may fall.Our Lord Jesus Christ appears a second time to those who LOOK FOR HIM, who diligently seek for Him and follow after Him; not any more as a sin offering appearing in heaven for us, but in the mighty manifestation of His power usward, UNTO SALVATION. And this salvation is the work of our great and wonderful High Priest. This same wonderful truth is set forth in Heb. 7:25 in these words, "Wherefore He is able also to SAVE THEM TO THE UTTERMOST that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them." This phrase is given by Phillips as "He can save fully and completely." Young's Literal, "He is able to save to the very end." Amplified, "He is able to save to the uttermost - completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity."
John 14:3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Rev 1:4 John, to the seven ecclesias which are in the province of Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him Who is and Who was and Who is coming, Joh 15:26 `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

I've tried, I did well while both were in reasonably good health. But now with Mother's fall resulting in a broken elbow; I find that I must accept my limitations. I can not physically care for her. I have irrated my shoulder, pulled a muscle in my back that can not heal while I continue to lift her when she slips, catch her when she starts to fall. She will not listen to me because I'm the daughter. I thought I could do this as last year went so well. But this year has been terrible 2 stays
I'm feeling out of sorts at the moment and can't figure it out. My health is pretty stable but I think I'm unhappy, tired of coping. Coping with everything, tired of dealing with my Mother's idiosyncrasies, tired of dealing with my Father's spurts of temper because he believes I'm ignorant. I know it's just a mood and I'll get over it.
It's just this trapped feeling, I'm working around it, getting rid of it. But still, every now and then it gets to me...... Like today. I just
Hang in there, that's all I seem to hear. Besides my father's heart condition, now my mother has one also. Her stay in the hospital shocked her so much that her mind is really deteriorating. I'm having a bad day physically and she keeps repeating herself. She also said she couldn't find her hearing aids, so in the middle of trying to cook lunch, I had to go look for them. Couldn't find. Them anywhere. 2 hours later we discover that they were in her ears. This evening while I was cooking dinner,
Where do I begin and how do I say this. I don't know if it's selfish or not. We had a beautiful day today no problems at all, then I made the simple mistake of going into the kitchen, Mom walked away and left me there to watch over what was on the stove. According to her I took it off the stove too soon and dinner wasn't hot enough to suit her. Mind you the food has to be hot the plates warmed and everything on the table at six. She then proceeds to spent the entire evening harping on everything
Well, here I go again. I've been in Florida since April, I finally got the insurance stuff straightened out and am running low on meds. Now I have to tackle new docs. I'm trying to put together my med history and med list. Googled docs and I'm ready to start calling.
I feel ok, hardly any pain, but my stress levels are back through the roof. My Mother's mind is going and I have to deal with outbursts now.
I'm caretaker now 24/7, but I get an hour or two to myself

July 3, 2015The best!
"This was so worth the money! It's beautiful very well built "...I just love it I love looking at it even! Makes wonderful tea."
March 23, 20152015
"I LOVE LOVE LOVE my tea maker. Found out I was diabetic. Drinking a black tea with cinnamon and orange peel. It is helping my diabeties along with lowering my bloodpressure. I never would have kept making the loose leaf tea, but because of the ease with the teapot I relax with my tea every evening. Breville makes superior quality products. I own the smart grill, wok pro, deep fryer, boss blender, pro sous food processor, bread machine, smart convection toaster oven. Buy one and youll become addicted. I want the smart microwave next."
January 9, 2015Simply the BEST!
"There absolutely is not a better product on the Market for brewing tea. The Breville One Touch Tea Maker is the BEST. I have had my Tea Maker for three years now and use it every day. I have never had any regrets spending the money on this product. I have a friend who has been looking for a Tea Brewing system and she has been looking at mine. However, she does not want to spend the money for the Breville. I have been searching online to help her find one at a lower price that does what the Breville does. There simply is NOT a better product on the market. There are some that make an attempt to copy it but they do not match it. This is simply a Quality Product."
April 22, 2014The Bomb!
"I received my tea maker for my birthday and it is one of the best presents I have ever received. Perfect tea every time, no bitterness, perfect temperature, and easy clean up. I am getting the benefit of tea in my diet as well without the hassle. I use it daily. It also makes great iced tea so I have a healthy delicious refreshng sumer drink on hand at all times!
I am looking forward to experimenting with fresh fruits, dried herbs, etc.
I highly recommend the Breville Tea Maker, it's the bomb!!!"
February 4, 2014Brew Oolong and Pu-Erh effortlessly
"This tea maker is awesome for people who drink teas like Oolong or Pu-Erh that require precise brewing temperatures and steeping times to bring out their subtle flavors. While traditional brewing methods may enhance the tea drinking experience, it is not always convenient to take those extra steps, and I always seem to get distracted waiting for my tea to brew and leave it in too long. Now I can enjoy my favorite teas brewed correctly -- no muss, no fuss!
Some feature requests that would make this tea maker go from awesome to mind-blowing...
1. Would be nice for the base to display the temperature of the water/tea after it has heated/brewed. It would be nice to know when the tea has cooled to a drinkable temperature (when brewing tea), and some teas are enhanced by bringing the water to a boil and then letting the water cool to the correct brewing temperature (when heating water).
2. Which brings me to the request for a brewing cycle with the ability to bring water to a boil, then wait and cool to the correct brewing temperature, and then steep for the specific time.
3. Finally, would LOVE a smaller model. I typically don't need to brew more than one or two cups at a time, and so I'm wasting tea sometimes since for this tea maker at a minimum I need to brew at least 2 cups."

"Recently Purchased from Bed Bath and Beyond.
Never really have been a tea drinker probably because it's always seemed to be such a tedious effort. I can say however I have always enjoyed a great cup of tea when somebody else has prepared.
It's only been three days since we purchased this incredible product but I can tell you I'm having a blast enjoying all the flavors and benefits that loose leaf tea brings to the party.
As far as workmanship and ingenuity this product far exceeds what I expected even at the price. I can tell you that' I'm not a very patient person, so when I find this product incredibly easy to use, you probably should believe me.
I look forward to many years of drinking tea with my wife .... morning, noon and night.
Thanks Breville"
October 13, 2013Amazing Teamaker!
"I have always loved tea, but never have the time or patience for all that temperature taking, steep times, etc that you need to do, so settled for making tea with the Keurig. My fantastic husband surprised me with this Breville Teamaker after I saw it in Teavana; I can honestly say it's the BEST thing out there for busy people on the go who love tea from tea leaves, but don't have the time!! The directions are clear and simple, and the tea comes out perfect every time! I love the auto start feature so I can wake to perfectly brewed tea,ahhh, which is kept warm for me. too -- up to an hour! I love that I can set the machine for the tea I'm making with the touch of a button, or customize the settings, and have the right water temp and time EVERY time! It was worth the price due to having excellent tea every time, without the fuss, aggravation and wasted time needed the old way! Thank you Breville!"
September 21, 2013Love it!
"I've had my teamaker for almost 2 years now and I use it almost every day. I've always been a tea drinker, but found the fuss of brewing black and green teas not worth the time. I always tend to over steep them, making the tea bitter and undrinkable.
My favorite feature is the Auto-Start function. It's been wonderful to sip on hot tea during a chilly, morning commute. I do wish there was some sort of battery back up in the tea maker because there have been a few times where the power flickered off for a second over night, just enough where I have to reset every clock in the house. And this causes the clock in the tea maker to reset, thus when I wake up in the morning, I'm left with just a pot of cold water.
I also wish I could put the jug in the dishwasher for cleaning because I do get tannins building up over time. But I have found that scrubbing the inside with one of the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers works pretty well to remove the tannin build up."

Historic Summerville residents are balking at a vision for the town that includes up to 880 new homes in the downtown area.
That is a tidal wave of development. This is going to fundamentally change Summerville, Peter Gorman of the East Historic District Civic Association told Town Council at its meeting Wednesday.
About 80 people attended the Town Council meeting to hear the Lawrence Groups presentation of Summerville Vision Plan. Project manager Monica Holmes spoke for the North Carolina-based firm. The plan envisions the way a more family-friendly Summerville is going to look by the year 2040.
Town enhancements include improving pedestrian crossings on Dorchester Road, completing the Sawmill Branch Trail, retouching Hutchinson Square and elevating the towns design standards.
However, the plan also includes building 880 new apartments, town houses and homes in the towns historic district.
Town council opened the floor for public comments after the presentation. Summerville resident Birdie Crosby, who has lived off of E. Richardson Avenue for 25 years, immediately took the podium to say more housing will mean more traffic. He also felt downtown does not have enough space for infill.
I missed out on everything about this plan, he said. You do not need any more traffic on East Richardson Avenue.
Gorman asked council members to slow down with the Vision Plan. He would like to give the public more time to provide input particularly on the idea of developing so much housing in the downtown district. Plus, Gorman said, taxes would probably have to be raised to fund the changes.
That is an enormous impact on the small-town feel of Summerville, he told council members.
Gorman said he foresees trees needing to be cut down to make room for the new housing, and new housing will only bring more traffic. He feels council members were probably not expecting to hear his statement.
I had to make a point that its a tidal wave of development, he said. Thats at least 1,000 more cars in downtown. Im not convinced thats a fair trade.
After the meeting Mayor Bill Collins said it is important for people to realize that this is a vision plan and many of the mentioned projects will not be taking place for a while.
I dont think people know much about it yet, Collins said. Its a vision plan its giving us an opportunity to look at Summerville 25 years from now.
Collins said he, too, does not know how 880 homes are going to fit downtown. Among the projects included in the Vision Plan, he hopes to work on Hutchinson Square.
I think that might get a facelift down the road, he said.
A public hearing for the Vision Plan is scheduled for 4 p.m. June 16 at the Summerville Municipal Complex.

Disputes over the Dorchester Seniors Center burst into view again Monday, with Dorchester County Council members and a seniors center board representative trading sharp words during the public comment portion of council's meeting.
Board Treasurer Tony Oglietti said he came to the meeting to discover council's intentions.
He said Councilman Willie Davis dropped a bombshell on the board by saying all of council was upset about the board's decision to stop renting out the Faith Sellers Senior Center.
After the meeting, Council Chairman Bill Hearn said he wouldn't characterize all of council as "upset." "Concerned" would be a better description, he said.
But asked directly by Councilman George Bailey whether the board would be willing to again rent out the building in Summerville, Oglietti said it would not.
The building was rented a handful of times in 2012, he said.
"For five or six rentals a year, it's not worth the time and effort. It's not our mission," he said.
Davis said taxpayers shouldn't have to wait until they're 55 years old to be able to use the building.
"It's really pathetic," he said.
The public has a right to use that building and it could be rented out for dances and civic groups, he said.
Oglietti said past boards rented out the building at the behest of council members because they worried about whether council would continue funding the center.
This dispute apparently began when Davis said the center's rental rates were too high. He has raised the issue multiple times, including during a struggle over board composition last fall.
Oglietti said he researched the issue and came up with a new rental fee structure, which raised some of the rates and lowered others.
Davis said he told the board to contact council members before voting on ending rentals, but the board went ahead and voted.
Councilman David Chinnis took a quick poll of council to see if anyone had been contacted by a board appointee.
He was truly disappointed not to have gotten a call from his appointee, he said. If appointees aren't communicating with their council members, they can be replaced, Chinnis said.
Hearn said the county would organize a sit-down between representatives of the two groups, because communicating back-and-forth would take forever to clear up miscommunications.

Here's the scoop--you CAN join the Cleveland Ufology Project; MUFON doesn't have members, but you can SUBSCRIBE to their newsletter.
Cost to join the Cleveland Ufology Project is $25, which helps to cover the cost of renting the room they meet in. Meetings are at 7:30 pm on the 3rd Saturday of every month at Tri-Cs western campus. Tom will be bringing flyers about this to our program on July 31. You can also go to the organization's website at http://www.clevelandufo.com.
To subscribe to the MUFON of Ohio newsletter, go to http://www.mufonohio.com/mufono/index.html. We can ask Tom about this too during or after the program on 7/31.
If you have a chance, check out our Display of Books on UFOs at the front of the library. I've tried to include a variety of materials here on UFOs: sitings, encounters, abductions, government coverups as well as material that explores the possibiltiy of other life in the cosmos and the various forms that life might take. What would it be like for humans to live in space? What kind of technology would be needed to make it possible? Are we in communication with alien beings? Are ETs really time travelers? etc.
This display will be up all month until after our program Wednesday evening.
I'm working on updating the Bibliography I prepared for last year's program and will be making it available on the display ASAP.
I'll be back in a couple of days with more info. Until then, Keep Your Eye on the EDGE!

Old Windows Geek Falls in Love With iPhone, But Still Has Hots for Windows Mobile
InfoWorld's Peter Bruzzese is the kind of IT guy who's old enough to have lived through every major paradigm shift in technology. When not plodding along at his Windows workstation, surrounded by a sea of blade servers, he's regaling colleagues and friends with his adventures back in the heady days of DOS computers and UNIX mainframes. The very mention of OS/2 gets him misty eyed, and if you see him hunched over a book about Fortran, well... just leave him be.
So when the old Windows warhorse suddenly took a shine to iPhone, people began wondering... and worrying. Somehow this grizzled old Windows veteran became an iPhone lover, wildly exploring its features like a five year-old in a McDonald's playland, without the greasy fingerprints and spilled drinks.
But old habbits are hard to break. Peter is still heavily rooted in his Windows world, and continues using a Windows Mobile 6 device for its Exchange DirectPush support. So he wanders through the hallowed halls of InfoWorld wearing a Batman utility belt and pouched vest to carry his iPhone, Windows Mobile phone, Pager, GPS receiver, tape recorder, and PalmPilot. He's old school, but all class.

At the end of the day
And soft on my shoulder
Where your head gently lays
Still with me now when I think
How I loved you so
And never through changes
Other people must go
Now people may change
Changes may come
There's so many changes but I, I, I, I
I love you still
Now I ll, I ll, I ll, I ll, I ll, I ll
I love you still
I lala lala lala
I always will
If they dried up the oceans
And they blot out the sun
And the world was torn into pieces
I know that we`d stay as one
23 years together. Our son rolls his eyes and makes farting noises whenever JP and I go all romantic and start talking about love, but so be it. One day he'll understand. We celebrated 23 years of marriage, 23 years of being together, this summer and what a ride it has been. Not always easy, sometimes downright bumpy, more like a rollercoaster ride, truth be told, a ride often leaving us breathless, hearts pounding, amazed that we have survived the ups and the downs, survived every thrilling spin, every crazy loop-de-loop, every dizzying drop when the earth is pulled out from under our feet, each summit of utter bliss when we feel like we can see forever. We've experienced births and deaths, attended weddings and funerals, seen wonders and marvels, the hackneyed the commonplace and the downright boring. But we are together still and getting loonier, sillier and more romantic as the years fly by. We've created a world for two where we are King and Queen, surrounded by our little princes, an island paradise of warm breezes and sunny skies, of good food and good books, and here we are still, rather pleased to be stuck together on this island of calm in the often rough sea of life.
Friday evening we decided to have dinner at our favorite pizzeria. Once we had reserved our table, we found ourselves with enough time to swing by the fête foraine, the carnival, just up the street. Hand in hand, we strolled through, dodging children, listening in on conversations, watching the teens standing below the most daredevil of rides and screaming up at their friends who had the guts to strap themselves aboard and get themselves flung up into the air. We breathed in the wonderful carnival odors of hot popcorn, sizzling sausages and sweet cotton candy, the colors and lights and sounds making us feel like kids again. I begged JP to win a stuffed animal for me never believing that he would actually play along, but play along he did. Much to my utter surprise, he walked straight up to one stand, handed over a five-euro bill and grabbed a bow – five arrows, three in the bull's eye and he'd win a stuffed animal! Well, no need to say that I walked away empty handed, but thrilled and laughing that he actually hit the bull's eye once and the red ring just outside it twice. That's my guy! Hadn't picked up a bow and arrow for years and years! Yet caught up in the moment, he gleefully played the gallant and we walked away giggling like giddy teens.
Sunday morning we were two little piggies who went to market, basket on his arm, and picked up what he needed to whip together a succulent beef and mushroom stew and freshly-shelled white beans with garlic and parsley. I love a man in an apron and mine stood at the stove all morning, chopping, stirring, simmering. A chilled bottle of Quincy completed the lunch and, satisfied and happy, we lazed around the rest of the day watching tv and catching up on this and that, all the little things we do on weekends. Three future architects in front of three computer screens spent all weekend hard at work down in the last bedroom, at least two of whom gleefully accepted macarons (the third grudgingly) and slices of plum cake, glad to help out this baker with too many home-baked goodies on her hands and not enough hungry mouths.
Autumn is here and the market stalls are overflowing with gorgeous, fragrant plums: mirabelles and Reine Claudes (greengages), quetshes (damson, prune plum) and the tinier prune d'ente, a lovely pale red oval plum. The peaches and nectarines are still sweet and juicy, but the plums have been calling my name, begging for attention, practically throwing themselves in my path, crawling their way towards my basket, just waiting to be baked in a pie. Since my man prefers his sweets with breakfast, dunked in a hot cup of coffee, or in the afternoon with a cold glass of milk, and since my man prefers something just a tad less sugary allowing for the flavor, the sweetness of the fruit to shine through, I came up with this Plum Cake. Somewhere between a cake and a brioche, the yeast base is barely sweet, delicate and light as air, the perfect foil to highlight this wonderful fruit. As light as it is, this cake, whether prepared thick and tall using a whole recipe of dough or thin, using half a recipe, it is most definitely better eaten warm out of the oven while still fresh. And although some found it a tad dry the second day, I still thought it was perfect! So did the three young men. And we gobbled it up. And begged for more.
I am sending this over to be Yeastspotted by Susan of Wild Yeast, the Queen of all things yeast!
Gâteau de Quetsches
2 Tbs warm milk
0.21 oz - about 2 ¼ tsp (6 g) active dry yeast
2 Tbs (30 g) granulated sugar
2 cups (250 g) flour + more for kneading
1 tsp salt
7 Tbs (100 g) unsalted butter very, very soft
3 large eggs
½ tsp vanilla
14 oz (400 g) quetsches (oval purple plums)
1 tsp vanilla sugar
1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
Warm the milk for 5 to 10 seconds in the microwave. Pour the warm milk over the active dry yeast and ½ teaspoon of the sugar, which have been put together into a small bowl. Allow to proof, about 15 minutes, until there is a fairly thick head of foam.
Place the flour, the rest of the sugar and the salt in a large mixing bowl; stir to blend. Add the soft butter in cubes. When the yeast is proofed, pour it over the flour/butter in the bowl. Whisk the eggs until blended, add the vanilla and add this to the mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, fold the wet ingredients into the dry until all of the dry has been moistened and then begin to stir vigorously until all of the butter has been well blended into the batter and no large chunks remain. You will have a very thick, very wet batter-like dough.
Generously flour a work surface and scrape the dough out onto the surface. With the help of a dough scraper, begin folding and kneading the dough, adding more flour as you work and scraping up the dough off of the table, and knead until you have a soft, silky smooth homogenous dough, adding only enough flour as needed to hold it together into a smooth dough. Knead for 6 to 10 minutes. All of the butter will have been incorporated.
Lightly grease a clean, medium-sized mixing bowl. Place the ball of dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the grease. Cover the bowl with a sheet of plastic wrap and then a clean kitchen towel and leave to rise at room temperature for 1 hour. It will almost be doubled.
Remove from the bowl and wrap in plastic wrap (allowing enough plastic for the dough to rise and not burst out of the seams of the wrap!) and allow to rest and continue to rise in the refrigerator for 1 more hour.
Meanwhile, wash and dry the plums. Slice each plum in half lengthwise, remove and discard the pits and place the halves in a bowl. Toss with 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar. Toss the plums occasionally while waiting for the dough; this will toss and coat the fruit in the melted vanilla sugar.
Butter the bottom and sides of a regular 10-inch (26-cm) pie plate.
After one hour, remove the dough from the fridge, take out of the plastic and place on a floured work surface. If you want a thinner brioche layer simply cut into two even pieces, wrap up one half and store in the refrigerator (to use within a day or two) or the freezer. Roll out the dough into a circle just slightly larger than the circumference of your pie plate. Gently lift the dough and place it in the buttered pie plate and pat it out evenly, pressing up a slight edge all around the outside. Brush the entire surface and edges with the beaten egg. Place plum halves, cut side up, in a rosace design all around to cover the surface of the dough, snuggling them closely together, leaving the edge free. Once they are all well placed on the dough, gently press the plums down into the dough a bit. Cover the cake loosely with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise yet again for another hour.
At the end of the hour, preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C). Remove the plastic wrap and bake the plum cake for 25 – 30 minutes if using only half of the dough, 30 – 40 minutes if using all of the dough. Keep careful watch and remove when the cake is puffed up and the dough around the edge and between the plums is a deep golden brown and the bottom of the cake is golden evenly across.
It is better to slightly undercook this cake rather than risk overbaking – it is a very light dough, less moist and dense than a brioche, so there is always the risking of drying out if overbaked.
This is a wonderfully light, delicate cake topped with sweet, tangy plums, perfect for a snack, breakfast or brunch. Best served warm although it is also great the next day for breakfast with coffee or tea, milk or yogurt.

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
So I am sitting on the sofa, alone. First glass of wine of the week (I know!!) launched and ready. I fancy a girly movie….no such luck. I am led into a downward spiral of bitterness and disappointment. What the hell has happened to our Saturday Night TV?
The edges of my fury are only vaguely softened by the recollection of my childhood. Saturday night used to be a feast of family fun, a bonanza of excitement to my immature eyes (or am I wearing those rose-coloured contact lenses again?)
Where is Tomorrow's World with the old fella and Judith Hann? Cool science. Where is the Generation Game which used to make me wet my knickers laughing, whilst munching our Saturday sausage-and-eggs tea?
Even though there were only three channels back then, and the screen went black at bedtime, there seemed to be an endless list of wonders to enjoy. I'd even be prepared to enjoy the waiting, whilst the Test Card girl with the blackboard dominates the screen, if I could be rewarded with one of these….
How about a little bit of Monkey Magic? "Born from an egg on a mountain top…"
No? Let's change channel then. (I used to have to get up and walk across the room back in the day to do this, so we rarely varied from the BBC. Maybe this is why there were only 3 channels. My dad always insisted that ITV was 'trash' anyway, so that left us with two to choose from. Since BBC 2 was more dull than a day at school, we were invariably left with one channel.)
How about escaping to a whole different mountain? The Waltons was one of my must-see shows for years. I fell in love with John-Boy and longed to eat at their giant table.
If family drama was your thing, then you MUST have been a fan of Little House on the Prairie. Even now when I hear this theme tune, I'm transported back to my childhood.
Black Beauty? Best theme tune EVER. Unbeatable for reducing small girls to tears. That's all I can say on the matter….*sniff*
For something lighter, you couldn't beat a Saturday morning with Noel, Keith and Maggie on Multicoloured SwapShop! Never swapped a damn thing, how about you?
Animal Magic was another of those distant, but warm recollections from early childhood. Johnny Morris and his animal voices – can't see this holding much muster with the kids of 2012….
And the 1970s equivalent of Ben10 (something to sit the kids in front of whilst you do the washing) was Tarzan. Man with Chimp named Cheetah. Ruddy marvellous.
I glance back to Britain's Got Talent…..Where is Tiswas? Crystaltipps and Alistair? Pipkins? Play Away? Record Breakers?!!!!!
As we grew older, my bro and I used to flop in from school and turn on the old brown wooden box, grab a packet of crisps (my bro had a really bad habit of cutting great wads of cheese into his packet and shaking them up before eating – there's a random memory!) and crash out in front of Vision On and Grange Hill. My parents worried that this latter programme was a bad influence – visions of me turning up at school one day and spiking my teacher's flask with Senakot or something……
So here I sit, wine glass now empty, head reeling with nostalgia, humming the theme tune to Charlie's Angels and wondering how the hell I got so old so fast. I have 750 channels to choose from – I think I'll read a book.

text: Naked 2 Lipstick ($22.00) is described as a "medium beige-nude." It's a warm-toned, peach-beige with a luminous sheen. This shade was extra creamy and had more slip than other shades, so it tended to move around a bit and if you pressed your lips together, it would leave lines. This shade wore well for three and a half hours on me. Edward Bess Forbidden Flower is darker, warmer. MAC Sweet & Sour is slightly brighter. NARS Biscyane Park is very comparable. MAC Delectable is more matte, slightly darker. MAC Cozy Up is slightly darker. See comparison swatches.

Get me going and I can't stop. Offer me a challenge or tell me you love something. Or worse (according to critics): all I need is a roaring success after having put off attempting something for fear of failure or daunted by difficulty for far too long and off I go! Just the tiniest encouragement, the most minor of successes or just one person I love to look at me and say "Oh, this is good!" with passion oozing in their voice and I only want to do one thing: make it again. And again.
Until they cry Uncle! But that's another story.

Puff pastry had eluded me for years, from the very first moment I saw a chef pounding a square of butter with a rolling pin and enclosing it in the perfect envelope of pastry to one January to the next when each and every pâtisserie parades a glorious lineup of stunning Galette des Rois, shimmering gold surface hiding a perfect frangipane filling encased in ethereal flakey layers in which nestles a tiny fêve, the prize which renders he or she who finds this porcelain treasure king or queen for the day. But all that butter, all that effort and all that precision had me shaking in my boots. I didn't put rolling pin to butter for years. I had overcome my macaron fears and my yeast bread anxiety so what, I asked myself, could be so terrifying, so complicated about puff pastry?
Pâte feuilletée – say it in French and somehow it sounds so sophisticated, so unattainable. No quick toss of ingredients in a bowl, whisk together in a flash, pour into a tin and pop in the oven. No, siree! No quick in, quick out and settle back to enjoy the fruits of your labor in less time than it takes to learn how to pronounce…or spell… pâte feuilletée. The wonder and charm of American baking is the rapidity and simplicity of its preparation, its ease in eating. Think muffins and brownies packed in a lunch box, stacks of cookies carried around in small hands, one-bowl cakes and quick breads. French baking, on the other hand, is known for its fiddly, complicated, time-consuming preparation making each pastry a gem, a special treat to be wrapped up in white paper, tied with a bow and carried home like a treasure, to be eaten off of delicate bone china and with grandmama's best sterling dessert forks. American sweets are comfort food, reminders of our childhood, simple and homey. French pastry is, well, pastry. Puffs and elegant layers, ethereal mousses and delicate creams, whirls of spun sugar and perfect piping. This may all be a wild generalization, but when faced with the daunting task before me, when a huge block of sweet butter sits and gazes up at me from my tabletop, eying me up and down, daring me to proceed, well, that tin of muffins starts to look pretty darn good!
So, deep breath, one, two, and three and I pounded and I rolled, all smooth going, and folded and rolled and I sweated just a bit as butter began to ooze. So quick as a lick, in the fridge it went. Roll, fold, turn, it was easier than I had imagined. And it was such a pleasure! Sensual, smooth even slightly sexy in its soft, silky texture when caressed, its pleasant, voluptuous give when pressed, its heavenly feminine scent of fresh butter and flour. My very first homemade puff pastry, my very first home-baked Galette des Rois was applauded by all, my harshest critics, my toughest judges, my row of Frenchmen! And I was spurred on to create more! And a first batch followed a second led onto a third until I was in my rhythm and could churn out pâte feuilletée on a whim! Quiche followed Jalousie followed Galette and I was in my element! A quick back and forth with Cookie Queen Gail who shared her own recipe, slightly different than mine, and enjoyment turned into rapture! Beauty into wondrous splendor.
And out came the first much-demanded, much-expected Galette of this year to loud cheers! Kudos! Adulation! They were putty in my hands…so when I began yet another batch of puff pastry and mentioned apples – with visions of Chaussons de Pommes, French Apple Turnovers, dancing before our eyes, they bowed down to my wishes and let me have my way.
A tale of a Galette aux Pommes…. Slow and lazy, I had been promising this new Galette des Rois for days yet kept putting it off. Until he started asking. And making comments, his patience wearing thin. So I finally began. Détrempe, envelope, rolling and two folds. The following day…nothing. Well, a girl is busy! Then the third day he began hanging around the kitchen door, fork clenched between fingers. "Where is this Galette you're supposed to be making?" he urged, a mixture of reproach and anticipation in his voice. So apples peeled, sliced, sautéed in butter, sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon… heavenly odors filled the house. Pâte Feuilletée rolled, cut, shaped, filled, baked. And a superb Galette des Rois filled with smooth, luxurious apple compote redolent of maple and cinnamon was theirs and they did enjoy it with much pleasure and glee.
Until the next batch…
Puff Pastry Galette filled with Maple Cinnamon Applesauce
½ batch puff pastry (about 600 g)
egg wash (1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tsp cold water)
powdered/confectioner's sugar
You can always make more and keep the extra on hand for tasty applesauce!
4 apples, preferably Belle de Boskoop or a similar type, sweet and flavorful for applesauce
1 ½ Tbs (22 g) unsalted butter
1/8 to ¼ cup (25 to 50 grams) granulated sugar
2 to 3 Tbs maple syrup
Ground cinnamon
Peel, core and slice the apples. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the granulated sugar and stir until the mixture is smooth, grainy and bubbling. Add the apple slices and toss to coat; cook the apples until soft, about 5 minutes, then stir in 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon, stir until well blended and continue cooking for up to about 5 minutes more, stirring often, until the apples are very soft and beginning to fall apart into a purée. Remove from the heat and purée, either with a fork or an emulsion mixer; taste and add more maple syrup and/or cinnamon as desired. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Follow the directions for rolling, cutting and chilling the puff pastry on my Galette des Rois with Pistachio-Rum Frangipane Filling post, filling with the apple compote. Seal with egg wash, crimp or scallop the edges, prepare a chimney, gently carve a design in the top, brush with egg wash and bake following the directions. The last 5 minutes of baking, dust the top of the Galette generously with powdered sugar and return to the oven, watching carefully for several minutes, turning the Galette as needed to favor even browning, until the top is a beautiful, caramelized, shiny golden brown.
Allow the Galette to cool on a cooling rack before slicing and eating.

Everything is coming to life. But I'm going to write about some of the less desirable pests that come along with spring this morning. These pests may be insects, fungi or other situations in or around the landscape.
The "Nasty Rascal," the chinch bug, is already sucking the juices out of St. Augustine grass (Charleston grass) across the Lowcountry. Chinch bugs were super bad last year, and as I write, they are damaging grass this year. When the weather is dry, a beneficial fungus that keeps the Nasty Rascal in check dies, and the chinch bug populations explode. That is why chinch bugs affect the hottest, driest part of the yard, and you rarely see them in the shady areas. Sevin granular, Tirade, EcoPCO WP.X (organic) or Aloft should give you some relief.
With the cool nights, Powdery Mildew fungus has nailed our Crepe Myrtles, Roses, Dogwoods and other plants. I have seen it on "resistant" Crepe Myrtles that usually do not get Powdery Mildew. Of course, "resistant" does not mean that a plant will 100 percent not get it. Powdery Mildew is very easy to recognize on a Crepe Myrtle. Just look right at the tips on the new growth, and you will see what looks like powdered sugar on the foliage. Neem Oil (organic), Honor Guard, Kestrel and Systemic Fungicide (Fertilome) will help control this pest. Crepe Myrtles bloom on new growth, so it is very important to control this disease now.
Termite swarms have been spotted in the area. In a stump 100 feet from your house, they are most likely not a problem. Call the pest control company that has the bond on your house, so a professional can take a look.
Gnats, oh yeah, they come out whenever the weather is perfect. Mosquito Repelling Granular (the product formally known as Gnat Scat) and Liquid Net are both organic products that should help you enjoy the outdoors a little more. Bifen, Cyonora and Cyzmic should help with gnats and other insect pests.
Leaf Gall on Sasanqua Camellias and Azaleas are affecting the new growth. At this point in time, just remove them carefully so the spores do not spread everywhere and destroy them. The old books would say burn the infected leaves, but these days the trash can will do fine.
So much to write about, so few column inches. Charleston Horticultural Society's Plantasia is coming up Friday, April 29, and Saturday, April 30. Check their website for more details. The Rose Society's Rose Show is coming to Citadel Mall on Saturday, May 7, from 1-5 p.m. These roses will blow your mind. Exhibit or just look at the displays.

Max Emanuel Cencic ‒ Biography
"Mr Cencic is blessed with the finest countertenor voice of our day." That was the view of the German magazine Opernwelt back in 2008, and ever since Cencic has strengthened his iconic status among present-day countertenors, with a combination of beautiful, pure tone and passionate delivery.
Born in 1976 in Zagreb, Cencic first came to public attention aged six singing the Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute. He went on to sing with the Vienna Boys Choir, touring widely and launching his solo career in 1992 as a male soprano, followed in 2001 as a countertenor.
In 2003, Cencic's interpretation of Nerone (in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea) in Basel was an early milestone in his career, prompting Opernwelt to name him Best New Singer of the Year. Other notable roles have included Perseo in Vivaldi's long-forgotten serenata Andromeda Liberata (recorded live by Deutsche Grammophon), the title role in Handel's rarely performed opera Faramondo, and the Herald in the world premiere of Reimann's Medea at the Vienna State Opera in 2010. During the 2011-12 season Cencic stunned audiences in Paris, Lausanne, Amsterdam and Versailles, creating the title role of Vivaldi's opera Farnace. The production achieved even wider success through widespread transmission on mezzoTV. In the 2012-13 season came a tour and recording of a newly-rediscovered opera, Leonardo Vinci's Artaserse, once again attracting rave reviews.
In November 2013 Cencic made his debut at the Frankfurt Opera in a production of Gluck's Ezio, Il Giornale della Musica calling him "musically impeccable". The following year saw Hasse's Siroe in Athens and Versailles, concert performances of Tamerlano in Versailles, Munich, Cologne, Hamburg and Vienna and Alessandro in Moscow, Carmina Burana at the Festival d'Orange and many concerts throughout Europe. In 2015 he is performing Il Catone in Utica in Wiesbaden, Bergen and at the Opéra Royal de Versailles in May and June, then in Bucharest and Vienna in September. There are also further performances of Siroe and appearances in Pergolesi's Adriano in Siria and Handel's Tamerlano and Alessandro.
Cencic's Decca recording of Handel's Alessandro, released in September 2012, garnered six major awards, including Opera CD of the Year for 2013 from operaawards.com, and won rave reviews, as did his 2014 release Rokoko, a collection of opera arias by Hasse, the first fruit of an agreement between Decca, Cencic and his pioneering music production company Parnassus Arts to create a series of landmark world premiere recordings of Baroque masterpieces. Limelight Magazine referred to the recording of Hasse arias as a "superb recital . . . Cencic's voice is one of the richest around today with a gleaming top, a fulsome but firm bottom register and his technical facility is spectacular yet always beautifully expressive."
His November 2014 release of Hasse's Siroe with Armonia Atenea under George Petrou was chosen as Recording of the Month in BBC Music Magazine, Editor's Choice in Gramophone and awarded the prestigious Diapason d'or Award, adding to the many honours his extensive CD catalogue has garnered, including eleven prizes for his Faramondo, four for a recital of Handel arias, and Germany's prestigious Echo Klassik prize for his Duetti album. He sang the role of Valentiniano in a recording of Gluck's opera Ezio, which also won an Echo Klassik prize, as did Leonardo Vinci's Artaserse (all Virgin Classics).
In 2015 come no fewer than four releases – The 5 Countertenors in March, Vinci's Catone in Utica in May, a recording of Neapolitan arias in October and Handel's Radamisto in November.
Cencic frequently appears in productions at major opera houses worldwide, including the Vienna State Opera, Bavarian State Opera, Semperoper Dresden, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro Real in Madrid, Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, La Monnaie in Brussels, Geneva's Grand Théâtre and Teatro Nacional de Săo Carlos in Lisbon. In concert he has performed in such major venues as New York's Carnegie Hall, Barbican Centre in London, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Vienna's Musikverein, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Palais Garnier in Paris and Tokyo's Opera Nomori, and at festivals in Ludwigsburg, Potsdam, Halle (Händel Festspiele), Spoleto (Due Mondi), Ambronay, Eisenstadt and Dubrovnik. He collaborates on a regular basis with conductors William Christie, René Jacobs, Ottavio Dantone, Diego Fasolis, Jean-Christophe Spinosi, George Petrou, Emmanuelle Haďm, Fabio Biondi and Riccardo Muti.
His extensive touring diary and recording schedule bear witness to the fact that with his singularly beautiful voice, innately musical approach and ability to truly capture audiences, the future is looking bright for Max Emanuel Cencic.
