Companion Series 24 Inch Freestanding Dual Fuel Range with 4 Sealed Burner Cooktop, Double Ovens, 1.5 cu. ft. Primary Oven Capacity, Convection Oven, in Heather
At 24" wide, this range may be small in stature, but it's big on performance and style. This dual-fuel range features four versatile gas burners, one conventional oven with an integral broiler and one convection oven. And of course, it's made with that classic AGA design available in 15 delicious colors. Available at AppliancesConnection
Four-ring gas hob
Give instant power and a rapid response for any type of cooking.
Electric grill
Housed within the top oven, the rapid-response grill heats up in seconds and is designed specifically to eliminate cold spots for even cooking.
Convection oven
Programmable and very quick, the fan oven also keeps an even temperature, making it perfect for cooking several dishes at once.
Conventional oven
Its heat zones make it the ideal, versatile oven for all types of cooking and it's large enough to hold a 16-lb (7.25kg) turkey.
Special oven linings
To save on cleaning time, the ovens have a specially developed lining which helps them keep themselves clean during cooking.
Other Features:
Sealed 4-burner gas cooktop
Offers heat output from 6,000-12,000 BTU
Integral 12,000 BTU wok burner
Two Electric Ovens
Upper - Conventional Oven with an Integral Broiler
Bottom - Convection Oven
The Companion can also be used independently as a free-standing
Fabulously Flexible
It is the perfect complement to your two or four-oven Aga, attaching directly to either model. Or, it can be placed in a separate location in the kitchen.
Same renowned British craftsmanship.
Like all Agas, the Companion is created entirely by hand to exacting
standards. This superior quality workmanship is covered by a one-year
parts and labor warranty.
Roasting Oven
Roasts and grills beautifully and is big enough to fit a 28 Lb. turkey. Radiant heat means food keeps its natural succulence and flavor.
Slow Cook Oven
Simmers perfectly by constantly maintaining the oven at just the right temperature for long, slow cooking. This develops flavors and will make even the toughest cut of meat melt-in-the mouth tender.
What to Expect
From a toasted sandwich to a perfectly risen souffle, an Aga cooker excels at every style of cooking. Aga cakes are fluffier, stir frys wonderfully fast, roasts more succulent and pizzas perfectly crisp. There's nothing an Aga oven cannot do - and everyth
Aga Ovens are Easier to Maintain
Choose an Aga cooker and you'll notice that the time you spend cleaning is greatly reduced. That's because the ovens and hotplates of an Aga cooker are virtually self-cleaning. It's simply because they're always on - any spillages are carbonized, so all y
No Lingering Food Smells
As you cook in your Aga ovens, food aromas are drawn away and extracted via the flue. This means if you're cooking something pungent like fish, the Aga cooker will help keep smells to a minimum.

Convection Cooking
A convection oven circulates hot air with a fan. Unlike conventional radiant (also called thermal) ovens, convection ovens have a fan that continuously circulates air through the oven cavity. This allows food to cook faster and more evenly.

text: In one study, just 6 weeks of a daily dose of cocoa made skin smoother, better hydrated, and less sun sensitive. And 12 weeks did even more. All thanks to the skin-boosting antioxidants in cocoa, called flavonols. But it's got to be dark chocolate, according to RealAge skin expert Dr. Amy Wechsler: "Skip cocoa mixes, which don't have the same flavonol levels, and go for the real thing: dark, unadulterated cacao powder that contains 70% or more cacao."

We have hired phones to clients on over 4,500 occasions, we can tell you exactly what you can expect from either purchasing or renting any satellite phone.
There are three real choices for
Satellite phones in Australia, we sell and hire all.
Click here for our Satellite phone review between the inmarsat, Iridium and Thuraya satellite systems in Australia
Our commitment to you -
$10 in free satellite phone calls for all hires.
Many people will hire a satellite phone for emergency back up. We will offer you $10 in free call because we want you to use and test the handset, so if that emergency happens you know exactly how it works. Learn how it works before you leave GSM range. For example, make sure if you plan exchange SMS please test both out and in bound, because sometimes it will not work.... you can then call us to apply a fix.
It is important to us that you are able to make full use of the phone, this is why we are giving you the first $10 at no charge.
Be careful when
calling a different satellite provider from another satellite phone,
if you are calling numbers starting with +8816, +0147, +8707... it can be a very expensive call.

Hotspot and Satsleeve+
Perfect for long chats, SMS and low band width data.
released (Nov '15) a new updated Satsleeve phone.

bracket. We feel the Satsleeve hotspot is the best option.

week, $229 for 10 days, $274 for 2 weeks. (for

text: Culture 16 May 2010 Hare Sign up for our weekly email * The dog leapt forward and picked up the leveret hidden in the grass - and suddenly we joined the select band of hare-owners. As Mother Hare would have rejected a baby covered with dog-slobber, we saw no alternative to adopting the leveret, which we named Flossy, after a great-aunt. The poor thing spent all her time pining for the great outdoors, until one day when, startled by neighbours, she gave a great bound and broke her neck on the inside of her hutch. After that we stuck to rabbits, all of which we also named Flossy, even if male. One Greek term for "rabbit" is "half-hare", and certainly a bunny is less than half the man, or creature, that a hare is. Hares are quite a different ball of fur: the Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin found them a welcome contrast to bourgeois bunnies. In Hare, Simon Carnell trawls through the art, legend, law and literature of this elusive quadruped that has had a more-than-fleeting presence in our culture. Br'er Rabbit derives from African tales of a trickster hare. Until a century and a half ago, more packs of dogs hunted hares than chased foxes. A statute from the time of Richard II insists that only landed gentry be allowed to hunt hares; peasants used the sport as cover for seditious gatherings. Coincidentally or otherwise, Karl Marx reported on the Rhine Provincial Assembly banning the peasants from hunting hares - and immediately wrote his first explicitly political essay. Hares are so elusive, being able to hit 45mph and jump sideways to avoid leaving a scent trail, that bizarre legends grew up about them: they had tiny horns; they changed sex; they slept with their eyes open; they turned into witches; they kept one ear forward to catch the wind, like a spinnaker on a racing yacht; eating Lepus timidus made you timid. They were supposed to suffer from depression. How could you tell? It would be tricky to get a hare to free-associate on a couch. However, they certainly attracted psychiatrically challenged poets such as John Clare, who wrote a sonnet about them, and William Cowper, who had several as pets. Edward Lear wrote a limerick in which "hare" is rhymed with "despair". I can't be precise about the sanity, or lack of it, of the 20th-century German artist Joseph Beuys, but one of his "performances", How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare, involved his pouring honey and gold leaf over his head and walking around a gallery with a dead hare in his arms while lecturing to it about the exhibits. This is such an intriguing survey that it seems cruel to split hairs, or hares, with the author. However, like his subject, he does tend to leap about all over the place. Given that the book is concerned with our misapprehensions about this animal, and the cultural baggage with which we have lumbered its slender frame, there should have been a concise factual section to establish a few basics. It doesn't help to bound, as Carnell does within the space of a single page, from a wild hare's probable survival time of a year, to an epigram by the 4th-century poet Ausonius, to the increasing loss of habitat, to Robinson Crusoe, and finally to the 1972 horror film Night of the Lepus. Most distressing is the way in which the author loses himself in the thickets of cultural studies-speak. In the 12 pages he devotes to - or, rather, squanders on - the honey-headed Beuys, he says of that laughable lecture to the animal corpse: "The piece partakes of that secret narrative in Beuys's work which has to do with obliquely evoking and mourning Nazi atrocities." Lewis Carroll's March Hare and Mad Hatter together couldn't have put it better. Fortunately Carnell is infinitely better at discussing the real artworks, which are strikingly reproduced on the glossy paper of this well-produced paperback. Dürer's Young Hare, probably the first picture based on a live animal and still celebrated five centuries later, is "curiously dignified". Hares became a striking feature in still-life - or still-death - paintings: "There are perhaps few things deader or 'stiller' than a dead hare." It is a reminder that if death can snare this lively creature, there is certainly no escape for us plodding human beings. There is more hare-brained (in a good way) literature than you might think, from Piers Plowman to Ted Hughes. Carnell concludes with a poem of his own that sums up the material very satisfyingly. Missing from the literary chapter is anything theatrical. There is no hare-ish equivalent of the excellent War Horse. We await a dramatist brave enough to take on this theme. David Hare springs to mind.

Julianna Margulies publishes children's book in tribute to late father
The Good Wife actress Julianna Margulies has released a book which was created by her beloved dad when she was a child.
Actress Julianna Margulies has paid tribute to her late father by publishing a children's book he wrote for her and her two sisters when they were little.
The star of The Good Wife has penned Three Magic Balloons, which is based on a tale her dad Paul used to recite when she was a child. After he passed away in 2014 at the age of 79, Julianna thought it was fitting for his wonderful story to be shared with the youngsters of today.
"He was a special guy, and it feels good to be able to put something out into the world that he wrote," she told People magazine. "It's a very loving, sweet story, and it's just about giving."
The book tells the story of three sisters whose father gives them money for treats at the zoo, but they use it to buy food for the animals instead.
It has been illustrated by Grant Shaffer, who is married to Julianna's co-star on the hit CBS drama Alan Cumming, and the 49-year-old thinks the pictures elevate the story to a whole new level.
"A balloon man who has been watching them gives them magic balloons because they have kindness in their hearts," she explained about the plot. "They tie them to their beds at night and the balloons make them go up, up, up into the sky, and all these angels and majestic animals come out to greet them. All because of the kindness that they show."
The actress thinks her father would be delighted to see his story being made available to other children so many years after he originally came up with the idea.
"I think he would love it," she smiled. "He wanted everyone to have love in their hearts. He hated any kind of animosity, he really wanted everyone to find peace. That's what this book is bringing to people. I feel lucky enough that I could have gotten it out there for him. It's just a really sweet, hopeful story that I think the world could use right now."

Disney's unforgettable tale of love's power – "Beauty and the Beast" – was once again shared by the talented students of South Orange County School of the Arts.
The Disney classic, written by Roger Allers and Kelly Asbury, tells of a young girl searching for adventure in the old town that she lives in.
When her father is taken prisoner by a beast, who happens to be a prince under a horrible spell, she trades herself to the beast so her father can have his freedom.
Though hostile in their first few encounters, they begin to fall for one another with help from all the little characters who encourage them along the way.
Set against them is a villain by the name of Gaston, who wants Belle for himself.
Jordan Kelly, playing the Beast, undertakes his character so well with the feelings of grief and hate, and yet you can also see the soft side of him when he has fallen for Belle.
Played by Rachel Gross, Belle has a phenomenal voice that you would only expect to hear on the radio. She captures your heart in every note that she sings. Great presence and a beautiful voice definitely make this character memorable.
Though the Beast and Belle were great performances, Joey Richter, playing Lumiere, was by far the star of the show. He has a presence on stage that is unforgettable.
Kyle Bendickson, playing Cogsworth, also shows great passion. These two are definitely a perfect choice for the type of buddy comedy that is needed in the play.
Also great on stage are the Silly Girls played by Raleigh Bisbee, Jenny Santore and Rocky Jarman. You cannot help but get a big smile on your face when these three girls walk on stage.
Quite a few awkward set changes and make-up choices brought the show down.
The costumes, however, were superb. When Belle walks out wearing that beautiful yellow dress, and the Beast is dressed up in his formal wear, your heart begins to melt.

Heroes of Might and Magic III
Review by Gauntlet Man 99
"One of the greatest games of all time"
Ever since I got Heroes of Might and Magic for the GBC it's been one of my favorite series of games. Then, about a month or two ago, I searched GameFAQs for Heroes of Might and Magic. I saw that there were quite a few for the computer, so I read some reviews for them. In the end I decided to buy Heroes of Might and Magic III. If you read on, you can find out more about this excellent series of games.
Graphics- 10 out of 10
HOMM 3 has the most detailed graphics I have ever seen. When you're in the overworld it gives you semi-birds-eye-view of the area, and shows you every last little detail on everything in excellent color. When you're in a town/castle/necropolis/whatever you can see everything on everything. For example if you see a skull you can see little crevices and cracks in it, and just about everything else on the skull. Another great thing is the in-battle graphics. They go into as much detail as the town graphics. If an Arch Devil kills a unicorn you can see it burst into flames and its body disintegrate to ashes.
Good Points-
*Very detailed
*Everything looks exactly like it should.
Bad Points-
Sound- 9 out of 10
The sound is nearly perfect. HOMM III spans over 100 different tunes, and they're all great, but the sound is almost always a little too loud. Despite whether you turn your computer's volume down or up, it's always a little bit too loud. Besides the music, the sound effects are great. Everything sounds the way you think it would.
Good Points-
*Great music
*Wonderful variety of songs
*Excellent sound effects
Bad Points-
*Always too loud
Play Control- 10 out of 10
As in all Heroes of Might and Magic games, there are a ton of menus and that may seem confusing at first, but once you get used to it will be as easy as riding a bike. There are lots of options too, but mostly all you have to do is admire the graphics and the sound while you click on whatever option you want to use. Whether you're moving one of your "heroes" (that's what the game calls them) or killing a group of Hell Hounds, it's always very easy.
Good Points-
*Easy to use and to get used to
*Simple controls
*User-friendly menus
Bad Points-
*All of the menus might overwhelm some newbies to the game
Game Design- 10 out of 10
Right now you might be thinking "So why's it so great? All it is, is another stupid adventure game." Well, let me tell you, it's not. It combines RPG and adventure elements to make one hell of a game. Spanning over 150 creatures, 50+ spells, over 150 magical artifacts, 10 types of towns for you to take control of, 32 different classes of heroes, and tons more things, HOMM will please almost everyone. There are also over 100 scenarios and 8 campaigns for you to play.
Good Points-
*Nice variety of levels
*You can create custom scenarios and campaigns with the very easy-to-use editor
*Loads of secrets
*More than 150 creatures for you to kill, enslave, recruit into your army
Bad Points-
*None at all
Story- 10 out of 10
I can't even begin to tell you any part of the story, because each scenario has its own story, and all of the campaigns have stories that tie together, so if I told you any part of the story it would give away a lot of surprises. But trust me, the story is very good.
Good Points-
*Very detailed storyline
*The story unfolds as you go along
Bad Points-
*None (again)
Replay Value- 10 out of 10
Heroes of Might and Magic III will keep you playing for months on end, not only because of its size and challenge, but also because it's so fun. I've had it for a few months and I still play it very frequently. With online play, ton of codes, scenario and campaign editors, and much more, HOMM III will keep you busy for awhile.
Good Points-
*Online play
*Unlimited possibilities with the campaign and scenario editors
*Tons of levels that will keep you coming back for more
*Even the most attention span deprived will play for days
Bad Points-
*None (Geez! What's 3D0 trying to do, make another Gauntlet Legends?!)
Challenge- 10 out of 10
As I have said before in this review: The are over 100 levels, and eight campaigns with levels exclusive to them. If you've ever played another version of Heroes of Might and Magic, you might have thought that the levels are only a little bit hard, but that all changes in this game. Even if you set the game on the easiest difficulty level, you'll have tons of trouble beating the level. Seriously, even the easiest level will take you at least a half an hour to beat.
Good Points-
*The levels are very hard
*Six difficulty levels
Bad Points-
*The levels might be too hard for some people
Overall- 10 out of 10
Overall, Heroes of Might and Magic III is well worth the 30 or 40 bucks it costs. It'll keep you playing for ages, and if you eve do get tired of it (yeah right) you can always create your own levels and campaigns, and if you get tired of that you can always try your skill against others in the multiplayer mode via the Internet. All in all HOMM III is almost as good as Harvest Moon 64 and Gauntlet Legends. It's also rated "E" for Everyone by the ESRB rating board, with a note of animated blood and violence. So if you're looking for a really sweet game for your computer, just get this one. You won't be disappointed.
Reviewer's Rating: 5.0 - Flawless

This year, Wendy Palmer enters her first season as Spartan women's basketball coach. A two-time All-American at Virginia, she spent 11 years in the WNBA and the last six as an assistant. Most recently, she coached beside Virginia's Debbie Ryan, who retired at the end of last season. A few highlights of a conversation with her:
As a player My experience at Virginia shaped me and molded me for life, not just in basketball but in life lessons. Debbie Ryan, the legend, the hall of fame coach, gave me the opportunity back in '92 to play basketball at a great university. I got a great education, and … we were top 5 or top 10 every year.
Full circle After college, I was able to go overseas and then played 11 years in the WNBA. The last two years, I went through a moment of sheer insanity where I wanted to coach and play. I coached at VCU during the off-season and then played during the summer in the WNBA. After I retired, I coached at Kentucky for two years, and then I had the honor of going back to UVa and working with Debbie and walking her off the court for the last time as the head coach of UVa. It kind of came full circle for me.
A players' coach There have been good, bad, different, insane experiences that I had as a player. And I think once I became a veteran, I realized those were all opportunities that I needed to have in my life to mold me into the person I wanted to be and the coach I want to be. I think that I'm a players' coach, because I've been able to walk that walk.
How people described her as a player Intense. Mean. Warrior. They hated playing against me. I heard mean often, from coaches and players. [She laughs.] But I think I was just intense, a fierce competitor. I wanted to win at everything. I rallied around my teammates my teammates were my sisters and we went into war, into battle together. Very determined and disciplined. And intense.
This year's team They are passionate young ladies who want to win, so we are looking to have a great year. Anytime you go through a transition, there is a learning curve. …I have had a chance to get to know them all, to learn what their hopes and dreams are not just for basketball. …I'm looking forward to the season.
Her office, with lots of pictures of family and friends I've been in the rat race for so long, I haven't had a chance to be with a lot of my family. …I have pictures of my loved ones around. …It's a culmination of people who've touched my life during my journey. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to be at UNCG. Being from North Carolina [near Roxboro] and knowing I wanted to be a head coach, I didn't know where my opportunities may be. …I drive in to work sometimes and I think Wow, I am back in North Carolina. The air is so different here. Having lived all over the world, it is so great to live here, to have family so close, an hour away.
On joining UNCG I've had a lot of friends who went here. I've spent some time here, throughout the years. We have a niece who is coming to school (this fall). I'm really looking forward to the games and the journey. This is a great place to be. I couldn't have imagined being anywhere else.
In middle school, to get a Boy Scout badge, Nathan Baker participated in a study. The medical professionals were so impressed by his endurance on the treadmill, they asked if he'd try out for middle school track team.
He did not get a response from the coaches, he says.
Nathan, a sophomore business administration major who has cerebral palsy, adds, That's a misconception, that because of my disability I needed to be treated a different way.
But in ninth grade, the high school cross country coach, Mike Miragliuolo, said Yes. He'd be allowed to compete when he could run 5 kilometers. At first he tended to fall, but he improved throughout his freshman year. His first race, his time was 33:55. But by the time he graduated, it was 23:40. About a 10 minute drop, he says.
Nathan advocates exercise for those with special needs. Exercise is good for everyone. It makes them feel good about themselves, he explains.
His exercise this season? He does warmups with the men's soccer team, he says, and recovers the balls as they sail over the nets during practice. Sometimes that involves running.
Warmups set to start momentarily, Men's Soccer Coach Justin Maullin stops by. Want to know how he came to be manager during last year's season? Maullin asks.
Nathan emailed me, he recalls. I want to be manager.
Why don't you stop by my office? the coach emailed back.
Nathan did. Maullin asked him what he could offer the team. He could keep stats, he said. The coach explained they had that covered. What else?
Coach Maullin, I can inspire.
His response? You'll start tomorrow.
Having told the story, Maullin looks over at Nathan and says, You inspired us to a championship, right Nathan?
Coach steps away. Practice for the home opener against No. 12 Duke (which UNCG would win 3-2) will start in a few minutes.
Every season is a new season, Nathan explains about the coming games. We have a target on our back. Last year's squad had an 11 game unbeaten streak en route to the SoCon Championship.
He refers to a Dean Smith saying: Play hard, play together, play smart. If a team does those three things, it's possible they'll have a good season. But I can't promise you anything.
He speaks about his high school track team at Green Hope in Morrisville a diverse group of athletes, he says, healthwise and otherwise. It's one of the biggest teams in the state, and he explains why. Not all run to win, he says. Many run to feel good about themselves.
Among his best pieces of advice? Believe in yourself.
Playing in your first collegiate tournament is memorable. Scoring a double eagle? Unforgettable.
UNCG freshman Fanny Cnops fired a final round 72 and tied the school record for best 54-hole score with a 216 at the Cougar Classic in September.
Playing in her first collegiate tournament, Cnops, the 2011 German Ladies Amateur champion, finished at even par over three rounds. She matched the school record set by current Spartan junior Courtney Taylor in April 2010.
Cnops enjoyed an interesting start to her final round. Teeing off on No. 13 she bogeyed the first two holes but rebounded with a double eagle on the par-5 15th.
I think the double eagle startled her a bit, said head coach Emily Marron. It took her a few holes to recover. She hit a driver off the tee and a 6-iron from about 180 yards away to hole out. I heard cheering and screaming from a few holes away and I knew she had done something impressive. But to connect for one of the toughest shots in golf while playing in your first tournament … that's pretty special.
In the following tournament, Cnops tied the school record for lowest 36-hole score, 140.

The pair were forced to miss training on Friday, after picking up knocks during Los Merengues' friendly win over LA Galaxy, and are now uncertain to play in Las Vegas on Monday
The duo were absent from Friday's training session following the 5-1 victory over LA Galaxy, with Gonzalo Higuain, Jose Callejon, Alvaro Morata and Jese, joining Di Maria on the scoresheet for Jose Mourinho's side.
Both Di Maria and Arbeloa featured for 45 minutes during Friday's win, but both then complained of slight discomfort following the match.
As a precaution neither trained after the game, with Mourinho keen for both players to feature in the later stages of the North American tour.
Los Blancos face the Mexican outfit Santos Laguna in Las Vegas on Monday, with the Supercopa clashes against Barcelona yet to come on August 23 and 29.

My life has not been the typical American girl's life. For starters, even though I was born to a Texas-Virginia parental combo, I spent most of my growing up years in Europe with an 18-month stint in the Sahara Desert where I had my 6th birthday. That's one I will never forget! I often longed to be a "normal" American girl especially in my teen years, but in my next thought, I remembered how many people in the US expressed jealousy that we lived overseas and I realized how many years most Americans saved their pretty pennies to experience for only a couple of weeks what I lived day-in and day-out. I happily accepted that I should be grateful for where I was and what I was experiencing.
I heard of American high school graduates taking senior trips with their class ... to Disney World, Epcot Center, Broadway ... if they were lucky, they went overseas.
I didn't expect to have a senior trip. After all, I graduated alone. And I was already overseas! My brother had graduated the year before me, but stayed home till I finished. Because of our dad's work, he was asked to come to Germany for meetings and our parents planned a family trip around that invitation from where we lived at the time (Spain), up through France to visit friends and see the battlefields and American cemeteries in Normandy, into Germany, and back through Switzerland and France again and back "home" to Spain. (I might have the order of that trip out of whack ... I just don't have time to look up those photos at the moment!) I think you'll agree with me that we made out like bandits with a trip like that, right?
I remember vividly our travel through the Basque region of Northern Spain and Southern France. The language was a mix of Spanish and French and even though we only spoke French fluently, we could still make out everything being said because of our exposure to Spanish. The geography was beautiful ... mountains, winding roads, wild horses grazing on the hillsides, houses both small and large dotting the countryside, homemakers slinging dishtowels full of freshly washed lettuce out of their kitchen windows or off their balconies to rid it of water, driving through small villages and seeing beret-fitted elderly men sitting at cafes having afternoon coffee (or maybe a little something else, too?) ...
Little did I know about the favorite spice of the region ... piment d'espelette. I learned about it just a few years ago and felt a little sadness that I had no knowledge of it before! It's not super spicy ... in fact, I would say that it isn't spicy at all. It has a smokiness and subtle flavor that is a perfect pairing to onions, garlic, tons of peppers and tomatoes all cooked down into what is called a "piperade". It's almost like a chili powder, but certainly not spicy as we typically think of American chili.
In this week's recipe, Dorie uses the piperade to cook chicken in. She suggests a full chicken, cut up, or chicken thighs. I think it would work as well with bone-in chicken breasts and I should've taken my own advice because Ken would've liked it better. [He's a "thigh man", but not where chicken is concerned. ;)]
I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, and a bit more piment d'espelette, then browned them in a cast-iron skillet before tucking them into the piperade to cook low and slow for about 40 minutes.
It was immensely tasty ... saucy, full of flavor, and rounded out with a bit of rice. Everyone agreed that it was good, but I think if I make it again when Ken will eat it that I will cut the peppers and tomatoes smaller than Dorie suggested. He liked the flavor, but didn't like the larger pieces that the recipe called for.
Dorie's "Bonne Idee" was fabulous! I saved some of the piperade in a gorgeous French canning jar. The next morning, I scrambled an egg and nestled it in the middle of the warmed sauce. That beats oatmeal out of the water, my friends!
If you're new around here or are wondering what French Fridays with Dorie is ... It's an effort to use one of Dorie's recipes from her cookbook Around My French Table each week. The recipes are decided on by popular vote on the website French Fridays with Dorie. Purchase your book HERE and play along! According to the rules of the group, I'm not allowed to post the actual recipe ... mes regrets.)

STAGE TUBE: Darren Criss Serenades Composer Menken With Surprise Appearance
GLEE star Darren Criss gave a surprise performance at Monday's Billboard/Hollywood Reporter TV & Film Music Conference, serenading Oscar-Winning Composer Alan Menken with a medley of his songs.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Criss revealed that during college, he used to perform a medley of Menken's songs at a local coffee shop. One day, to his great surprise, Menken himself walked into the shop and gave the singer a $100 tip for his efforts. "He was playing all of these songs really, really beautifully," Menken recalled. "I was really impressed with his talent. Next thing I know, Darren's on Glee! He's just doing incredible work."
Playing the acoustic guitar, Criss took the liberty of changing some of the composer's well-loved lyrics by singing, ""Just look at your songs / aren't they neat? Wouldn't you think your collection's complete? Wouldn't you think you're the guy, the guy who has everything?" The medley concluded with another surprise appearance from Lea Salonga, the voice of Disney's Jasmine.
Menken was presented with this year's Billboard / Hollywood Reporter Maestro Award by Billboard Editorial Director Bill Werde after introducing him as "the Babe Ruth of composers." Among the many Disney films which Menken has composed the music for are The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin.

Two steps into Mark Cooley's Sheboygan apartment and it becomes obvious he is a man for whom music plays an integral role.
Stacks of record albums, ranging from classical to pop to jazz, decorate the room; music stands with piles of sheet music await his or his students' attention; his precious violin and viola stand poised for his deft touch.
More importantly, however, two notes into an impromptu concert and it becomes apparent that Cooley is a superb musician who makes his instruments sing with passion, grace and talent.
Cooley, 57, lives in the St. Nicholas Apartments, 916 Huron Ave., and occasionally treats his neighbors to a concert of his fine music, especially for holidays like Christmas or St. Patrick's Day.
"I have a bunch of arrangements of Christmas carols and I'll sit in the lobby and play for people as they go in and out," he said.
He also shares his talent and passion with students.
Unfortunately, since 2002, Cooley has been dealing with a back injury that has resulted in his need to use a wheelchair. His music is always accompanied by pain.
"For one thing, it is very difficult to play in a wheelchair," Cooley said. "I've had to adapt but it's like anything else ... you get used to it eventually. Playing with pain is very difficult."
But the pain hasn't stopped him. He currently plays with the Manitowoc Symphony.
"These days I play wherever they need me," he said.
Cooley and music have been playing together in two-part harmony since he first picked up the violin at the age of 13.
"That's very late to start playing. Usually five or six years old is standard," said Cooley, who hails from northern Illinois.
Cooley's love affair with the violin began with a televised concert of Russian violinist David Oistrakh. The violinist caught his attention and that, combined with his love for the beauty of the wooden instruments, turned into a lifelong passion.
"It took me a couple of years of complaining to my parents before they let me take the violin in school," Cooley recalled.
Cooley started taking lessons in the second semester of sixth grade. By the time he was in seventh grade he was basically performing teaching assistant duties for his teacher.
"That's how I got started teaching," he said.
Cooley continued studying violin at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in Milwaukee with Carol Findell. When Findell left for Portland State University in Oregon, he, along with several other students, followed her to Oregon.
"Basically, we established a new program at Portland State," Cooley said.
Cooley was a performance major in both violin and viola.
"That's kind of unusual because as a performance major you do a lot of playing — usually around five to eight hours a day of playing. And there's a big enough differences between the two instruments so that I had to practice on both. And then you have to perform a required amount of time for both instruments," Cooley said.
When pressed, Cooley said that violin was probably his favorite instrument.
"There are things about the viola that are attractive, however," he said. "It's a deeper sounding instrument...more soulful."
Cooley came back to Wisconsin and continued studying. He started playing in a lot of community orchestras along with union gigs, touring with such famous artists as Anne Murray, Smokey Robinson, Tom Jones, The Moody Blues, Melissa Manchester and Barry White.
In the community orchestras he often played as a "ringer," Cooley explained. "A community orchestra rehearses six to eight weeks. A ringer is somebody who is a professional and comes in for like the last three days. They kind of expect you to have your stuff 'right on.'"
Cooley has been living in Sheboygan since 1990.
"I used Sheboygan as kind of a central location as far as travelling. I also carried a load of between 20 and 30 students. I still have a couple of students; one of my students is trying to get ready for auditions for Julliard, Eastman School of Music and the Peabody Conservatory," he said.
Another one of his students, Tobias Wing, who has studied with Cooley for several years, recently received his Eagle Scout Award. Cooley was flabbergasted to be recognized by Wing with a special Mentor's Award.
"Toby got up in front of everyone and started saying some things about me. I don't remember everything because I was getting kind of emotional. It was a proud moment of my life," Cooley said.
Wing said that even though Cooley didn't directly help him with his Eagle Scout project, he has had a profound effect on him through the years.
"Mark always encouraged me and was always telling me to do better. He is really an important person in my life and I believed he deserved an award," Wing said.
Wing also said that Cooley is a "great teacher. I just personally like the way he teaches. He doesn't try to over explain things, he just shows it to you and takes it very slowly at first and then builds on it until you finally get it," said Wing, who goes to school in Oostburg. He isn't sure if he's going to major in music when he goes to college but he said, "I have a lot to think about, but music has definitely been a major option for me."
Several of Cooley's students have continued in their love for music.
"Quite a few are playing in community orchestras," he said. "One former student is a violin major in college and several have gone on to teach music."
Wayne Wildman, director of the Manitowoc Symphony, said Cooley's participation in the symphony is invaluable.
"Mark is just a fantastically talented musician; and it's not only his ability to play, but it's also his very deep love of music and his very, very deep knowledge about music," Wildman said. "That's a really special combination of talents that he brings to not only the Manitowoc Symphony but also an enormous benefit to his students."
Cooley and the rest of the Manitowoc Symphony will perform this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Capitol Civic Centre, 913 S. Eighth Street.
And as long as he can, he will share his gift with his students and audiences, Cooley said.
"Music has been very good to me," he said.

Emilio Navarro (September 26, 1905 – April 30, 2011), better known as "Millito Navarro", was the first Puerto Rican to play baseball in the American Negro Leagues. At the time of his death, at age 105, Navarro was the oldest former professional baseball player and the last surviving player from the American Negro League.[1]
Navarro was born in Patillas, Puerto Rico, to Botello and Pepa Navarro, and raised in the city of Ponce. His father was a well-known shoemaker in Patillas who died when Emilio was 6 years old. His widowed mother soon moved to Ponce where she had family. From a young age, Navarro helped his family economically by selling newspapers, peanuts and ice.[2] In Ponce he attended Castillo Public School[citation needed] and worked after school shining shoes and delivering the foods which his mother prepared to sustain the family.[2] His first contact with baseball occurred when he went to watch the school team play. On one occasion he did not have enough money to pay for an entrance ticket to watch a game between the Castillo and Reina teams. He therefore jumped a fence, which happened to be in the outfield. It so happened that one of the Castillo team members became sick and when the coach saw Navarro jump the fence he asked him to play. He agreed and played baseball since.[3]
After graduating from high school, Navarro was offered a grant to attend the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagüez, which he turned down. Instead, Navarro felt that he should help his family financially and believed that he was more than ready to play in the Major Leagues in the U.S..[3]
Baseball career[edit]
In the 1920s, the United States was a racially segregated country and Navarro's skin color presented a problem for his participation in American baseball leagues — in baseball, blacks were not permitted to play in the same leagues as their white counterparts. As a consequence of this policy, a group of white and black businessmen joined forces and organized their own "Negro Leagues". The teams played against each other and even had their own "World Series". Two of those teams were the "Cuban Stars", owned by Alex Pompez, and the "Cuban Giants".[4] Both of those teams consisted mainly of African-American or Afro-Latino players.[1]
Navarro played for two years with the Cuban Stars and had a batting average of .337. The experience was bittersweet for Navarro, especially when they played in the South — he felt discriminated against due both to his skin color and his lack of English. After playing with the Negro Leagues, Navarro traveled and played for teams in the Dominican Republic and in Venezuela.[1]
By the time baseball had become integrated in the United States, Navarro had returned to Puerto Rico. The experience and knowledge he had gained contributed to his success when he became one of the founders of the Leones de Ponce baseball team in his hometown of Ponce. He played, coached, and contributed in various other ways in the team, dedicating 20 years of his life to the "Leones".[3]
Retirement from baseball[edit]
After Navarro retired from active baseball, he worked as administrator of the Francisco "Paquito" Montaner Stadium in Ponce,[5] a position that he held for 10 years.[6]
Awards and accolades[edit]
In 1938, Puerto Rican sportswriter Emilio Huike voted Navarro as the "Ideal Professional Baseball Player".[1]
Navarro became a centenarian on September 26, 2005 and the following years saw many tributes to him in both Puerto Rico and the United States. His life and experiences in baseball were part of an American documentary called "Beisbol", on the contributions and influence of Hispanics in America's national pastime. He was elected to the Puerto Rico Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Puerto Rican Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.[1] The Senate of Puerto Rico presented him with Resolution #1026 in recognition of his contributions to baseball on June 7, 2005.[3] On December 29, 2006, Navarro was inducted into the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum. Former Astros great José (Cheo) Cruz presented the plaque of induction to Navarro.[2][7]
On June 6, 2008, Major League Baseball held a ceremonial Negro League draft prior to the amateur draft. Navarro was selected by the New York Yankees. He was also honored at a game during the final homestand in Yankee Stadium history on September 18, 2008.[8][9] In 2010, Navarro was honored by "Experience Works" who recognized him as an outstanding active Senior Citizen in the United States.[2]
Later years and death[edit]
On April 27, 2011, Navarro was hospitalized at Hospital San Lucas in Ponce after suffering a minor heart attack.[6] On April 28, he was transferred to the hospital's intensive care unit after suffering a stroke.[6] He died two days later on April 30, 2011, after failing to overcome the effects of his stroke.[10][11] He was survived by four children, 11 grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.[12]
On May 1, 2011, the New York Yankees held a moment of silence to honor Navarro before the start of their game against the Toronto Blue Jays.[13] In 2011, his home municipality of Ponce named a sports complex after him, Ciudad Deportiva Millito Navarro.[14][15] He is also recognized at Ponce's Parque de los Ponceños Ilustres in the area of sports.[16]

Ingelise Saunders
As New Chairman Of The Board
The Danish biotech company Acesion Pharma ApS announces that it has with effect from 1 August 2014 appointed Ingelise Saunders as new Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Ingelise Saunders has more than 35 years of experience in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. Until September 2013 she was CEO of the Swedish life science investment company SLS Invest AB. Prior to that she was CEO in three privately owned Danish Biotech companies, among these Action Pharma A/S, which was sold to Abbott in 2012. Ingelise Saunders is today a Director of the Board of Leo Pharma A/S and Chairman of the Board of MinervaX ApS. Ingelise will bring to Acesion Pharma the necessary business expertise to ensure the transition of Acesion Pharma's preclinical assets into clinical development and commercialization.
Ingelise Saunders, Chairman of Acesion Pharma, comments:
"I am very excited about the opportunity to be involved in Acesion Pharma at this important time for the company. The medical field of atrial fibrillation (AF) has high potential due to a huge need for more efficacious and safer treatment for the patients, and I believe that Acesion Pharma's new, innovative approach to AF could change and improve clinical practice."
Bobby G. Soni, Board member and former Chairman of Acesion Pharma, comments:
"We are pleased that Ingelise Saunders has choosen to join Acesion Pharma as Chairman of the Board. We are looking forward to working with her to transform the company and its new and promising approach to AF treatment into clinical assets and future improved therapies for AF."
AF is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia and is characterised by an irregular and abnormally high frequency in the upper chambers of the heart, the atria. AF is associated with impaired quality of life, increased rate of hospitalisation, and increased risk of stroke and death. AF is often treated with electrical shock to bring the heart back to its normal rhythm. Existing drug therapies have however only limited effect and/or are associated with risk of serious adverse effects. There exist therefore a high unmet need for developing more efficacious and safe drugs for the medical treatment of AF.
As a further change in the Board of Directors from 1 August 2014, Carsten Schou is replacing Frank Knudsen as representative from the investor SEED Capital.

About Acesion Pharma
Acesion Pharma ApS is a Danish biotech company founded in 2011 and based in Copenhagen. Acesion Pharma develops more efficacious and safe drugs for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia. Existing drug therapies generally have a limited effect or are associated with risk of serious adverse events, and there is therefore a considerable patient need for developing better and safer drugs. Inhibition of SK channels, an ion channel with relevance for regulating the heart rhythm, constitute a new and promising principle for the treatment of AF. Acesion Pharma aims to develop first-in-class SK channel inhibitors as a more efficacious and safe treatment of AF. Main equity investors in Acesion Pharma are Novo A/S and SEED Capital. Further, Acesion Pharma in 2013 received 27.9 million DKK (3.7 million EUR) as a Seeding Drug Discovery Award from the UK based Wellcome Trust to fund the development of a novel drug for the acute treatment of AF.
About atrial fibrillation (AF)
AF is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia and is characterised by an irregular and abnormally high frequency in the upper chambers of the heart, the atria. It mainly affects the elderly population, and it is estimated that more than 4.5 million people in the EU has AF. AF is associated with impaired quality of life, increased rate of hospitalisation, and increased risk of stroke and death. As a consequence of the increase in age of the population and in lifestyle related diseases, the numbers of AF patients are expected to rise significantly and predicts a major increase in the economic burden of AF.
AF is often treated with electrical shock, delivered during general anesthesia, and/or medical treatment, which brings the heart back to its normal sinus rhythm. Existing drug therapies have however only limited effect and/or are associated with risk of serious adverse effects, including risk of acutely life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia. There exist therefore a high unmet need for developing more efficacious and safe drugs for the medical treatment of AF.

Firstly, sorry if the picture isn't very clear. I am thin, in my early 30's and have a good diet, yet I can't get rid of this slight double chin. It's not very apparent, but I heard that it gets worse with age. I inherited this trait from my mom's side of the family. Do you think I should get liposuction to remove it? Do you think I should wait until it gets worse? I want to get it fixed, but am afraid the surgeon will tell me that I don't need to get it done since it's not very noticeable.
Should I Get Liposuction for my Double Chin? (photo)
Doctor Answers 11
Liposuction under the Chin
If there is supraplatysmal fat collection amenable to liposuction, liposuction will be appropriate. However, if there is subplatysmal fat or muscular laxity, the liposuction will not help. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Double Chin?
Your area beneath your chin has a very good contour. Any procedure in that area would yield minimal to no change. I would not advise that you seek treatment for this.
Dr. ES
Chin liposuction procedure
You certainly do not have abundant neck fat, but you are still a candidate for a meticulous contouring neck liposuction procedure. I would recommend you undergo this procedure under tumescent anesthesia.

Chin Liposuction
Some individuals have 'sagging' necks primarily due to fat accumulation below the jawbone (mandible). In some cases, liposuction alone can significantly improve the neck appearance. Liposuction is also frequently combined with surgical neck rejuvenation, and in selected cases some direct excision of fat (through a hidden incision below the chin) is performed. The reduction of fat in the area below the jawline and in the anterior neck almost always makes the neck appear longer, and makes the patient's profile appear more elegant or refined.

Double Chin Treatment
Hello and thanks for the questions and photo. If by examination there is a fullness just under tthe skin, liposuction could treat this area with positive results. If its due more to sublingual glandular enlargement or a weak muscular floor, then liposuction will not help. Best of luck. Robert Kratschmer, MD, Plastic Surgery, Houston.
Liposuction of the chin area
Thank you for the question and your photo. Looking at your photo, you do not have any classic signs to warrant liposuction of your submental/chin or neck area. Your jawline appears very well-defined and you have an excellent angle at the junction of your chin/neck. If it gets to the point where you would like correction of the area, certainly liposuction of the area would be an excellent option - simple procedure that may be performed in the office under local anesthesia alone with very little downtime. Good luck! Hope that these answers help in your decision!

Yes, laser liposuction will define your jawline
I respectfully disagree with some of the answers given here. Laser liposuction works extremely well in the submental area, even in relatively thin necks with small deposits of fat. It is not uncommon for me to have young models in their early 30's or even late 20's requesting this procedure, and almost universally they are quite pleased with results. The jawline is sharper and the neck more defined. This is especially true in patient with a genetic predisposition to place fat in their necks. It is usually a very quick procedure, with very recovery period.
best regards,
Dr. Lane Smith
Lipo under chin
There is very little fatty deposits in the submental area of the chin. No liposuction is needed on this neck
Learn more: http://seattlefacial.com
Liposuction Right Now? No
Based on the current photo, there are no aesthetic indications for submental liposuction. You cannot treat aging changes that aren't present or you may introduce problems you haven't foreseen. Good skin care, adequate sleep, good hydration, and a healthy diet are all I would recommend.

Microliposuction works great for double chin.
1) Your profile looks very attractive, and I would probably advise against a procedure right now. But if the tiny bit of fat under your jaw bothers you, microliposuction will correct it.
2) It is a minor procedure done under local anesthesia with a little sedation, and there is minimal recovery

LAKEPORT -- A woman was jailed and charged with felonies following the assault of a loss prevention person and a police officer.
On Monday at 6:05 p.m. a Lakeport Police Department officer was dispatched to Kmart to investigate the report of an uncooperative shoplifter whom loss prevention agents were trying to detain.?
