I Found The One Red Velvet Recipe!
Decorating By KitchenKat Updated 14 Oct 2010 , 9:37am by chocolatestone
I love Red Velvet Cake but even with the great recipes I've tried, I haven't really been satisfied. Either the texture was off or the flavor wasn't great. The search is over! I found it! This recipe from Rose Levy Berenbaum's new book "Heavenly Cakes" is divine. The crumb is moist and tender. It tastes wonderfully tangy and it's so good I can devour it on my own.
I also love the white chocolate cream cheese frosting - so yummy! But I added about a cup of powdered sugar per recipe because I wanted the frosting to be a bit sweeter.
For an 8" & 6" tier I made 3 times the recipe for the cake and 7 x the quantity for the frosting.
Cakeman Raven's in Brooklyn was our family's Holy Grail of Red Velvet. After tasting the Red Velvet I made from Rose's recipe, my 9YO son said "this is better than the Cakeman's" and the family agreed! Thumbs up all the way
Here's a link to the recipe:
I am so glad you tried this recipe. I got the book as soon as it was realeased and it has been sitting there. Never tried not one of the recipes.... I am ashamed to say that.
Did you try it as cupcakes also?
Did it work well?
Thanks a lot
Thanks for the review. I've never really been tempted to make a Red Velvet cake, but now I have to try it.
I've been wanting to get this book, as I love The Cake Bible, so I finally ordered it. Thanks for pushing me over the edge!
wow! thanks for the review! I recently recieved my copy of the Cake Bible (which i absolutely LUV! luv how she has the different measurements, so handy cos i always weigh my ingredients, never use cup measurements) and was sent that recipe from Amazon. I actually baked cake man Raven's red velvet cakes today, haven't tried them yet (they're in the freezer), but its great to know that Rose's red velvet cake is awesome!! Can't wait to try it out now!!! thanks again!!
That's GREAT!!!
It beats Cakeman Raven's?!?!?!? Thats the one I used, teaked very slightly. I GOT TO GO GET THAT BOOK! I'm a big fan of Rose Levy Bernbaum.

This is what I was thinking. I've always used Cakeman's, but now I want to give the new one a try. Next time I have to make one, I'll have to do this one.
PM me when you do and I'll PM you when I do, so we can compare.
I'm going to try it too!!! I'm very particular with the red velvet recipes! now i'm curious!

When I made the Cakeman's RV recipe, it didn't taste as great as the actual cake from his store in Brooklyn. Maybe the buttermilk I used wasn't as nice as his
Great! I'll have to try this. Does it stack well? Do you think it's sturdy enough to carve?
Rose is the first lady of cake science I love her recipes. I use the Cake Bible more than most of my other books. Shes awesome

Maybe your buttermilk wasn't as good. But all kidding aside, I'm not even surprise the recipe given is not as good as the one at the store. I'm sure he gave a more basic recipe to the general public, then the recipe he uses to sell, since it is the cake that he's known for. I've personally upped the cocoa powder amount, which of course makes it less then a TRUE Red Velvet cake.
thanks for the links ...i *love* rose!!!
What a coincident!
On Tuesday I baked eight different versions of Red Velvet cake and had 25 people at work taste and rate each cake. I havent compiled all the results yet, but Cake Man Ravens cake was one of the favorites. I wish I would have know about Roses cake earlier, I would have baked 9 cakes for the taste test instead of 8.
moreCakePlz: Yes, what a coincidence!!! A girlfriend and I just made 6 RV cakes and had a taste test at my house this morning with 12 other ladies.
I didn't see Rose's before tonight but just compared her recipe to the most popular ones we had today and her's doesn't have much fat in it?! I'm wondering about the moistness compared to winning one today. Paula Deen's was our most popular...you can find her recipe on the food network's site. Although we're going to decrease the sugar just a smudge the next time we make it because it was a bit sweet...but very good!
I'd really like to hear the cake tasting results!
Just a question to all of you out there: What kind of red food colouring are you using for the red velvet? Is it the liquid kind from the grocery- or the gel kind most of us use on CC? I recently tried some RV cupcakes using gel colour and it turned out really dark, not the bright sunny red I was after.
The liquid food coloring you get at the grocery store. 1 bottle, not 2 like some recipes suggest. I feel that's when you taste the color, but if the really, bright red, is what you are trying to achieve, you may need 2.
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what red velvet cake tastes like. I know there is some cocoa in it so does it taste like a chocolate cake? I would like to make one for the upcoming holidays because of the color.
Red VElvet cake DOES NOT taste like chocolate cake. Most reciped only have about a teaspoon of cocoa, as it is only supposed to have a "whisper" of cocoa. I can't really explain the flavor as it's a real different taste. But if you come across one that taste really chocolatey, thats NOT Red Velvet. Thats just a red colored chocolate cake.
I tried Rose's in the cupcake form and my husband and I both agree that we like Elisa Strauss' Red Velvet recipe better than Rose's recipe. I have not tried Cakeman Raven's recipe.
Funny you should mention red velvet. I had a customer that had spent some time in the US and wanted a red velvet. I said sure, not knowing what the cake was and pretty much knew I could get any recipe on the net, so wasn't too worried about it.
Until I read how much red food colouring I had to put in and cringed at the thought. Since I have not tasted or seen a red velvet before I can only hope that it was successful. I didn't get any feed back, but must ring and find out, or do I really want to
But I dare say unless I have more American customers I don't think we here in Australia will be wanting one of these. Sure looks spectacular when cut though.
Wow. Now I have to conduct my own taste test. I usually use Paula Deen or Emeril's recipe. I have Cakeman's recipe, but have never used it. I am curious as to how they stack up side by side.
I love red velvet. My favorite recipe is Smitten Kitchen's. I use gel paste color and omit the step that says to mix the color with water.
bobby flay did a throw down with cakeman raven.. bobby flay's red velvet won... i printed the recipe ..but have not made it.. i do like cakeman raven's.. but bobby's did look very good.. can,t wait to try bobby's too.
I just finished compiling all my RVC taste-test results and the winner are:
1st Place - Cake Man Ravenâs Red Velvet
2nd Place â The Pastry Queenâs Red Velvet Cake
3rd Place â Waldorf Astoriaâs Red Velvet Cake
4th Place â Duncan Hines Red Velvet Box Mix
5th Place â Louisiana Red Velvet Cake
6th Place â Paula Deenâs Red Velvet Cake
7th Place â Bobby Flayâs Red Velvet Cake
8th Place â Melissa Grayâs Dark-Chocolate Red Velvet Cake
To see pictures of each cake and details about the taste-rest, go to my blog at:
Very interesting. I use Cakeman Raven's RVC, but I do want to compare it to Rose Levy Berenbaum. Are you going to consider doing another taste test between these two?
HOLY MOLY!!!!!!! What a lot of work you did on this taste test!!! That is SO awesome!!! I'm looking for the ultimate RV too, so I need to try Cakeman's and I'm thinking of baking Rose's tonight. Everyone around here RAVES about California Pizza Kitchen's RV and so I'm using that as my baseline. There's is darker than Cakeman's, so I know there are at least 2 tbsp of cocoa because I made a modified Paula Deen's last night and it was the same color as California Pizza Kitchen. Theirs MUST be oil base because even with a cup of butter and a 1/4 cup of oil, it wasn't even close to the moist factor or CPK. So, the search continues...
Let me know when you test Rose's and I'll do the same! Thanks morecakeplz!!

BERLIN (Jul. 4)
Questions of access still remain following last week's controversial transfer to the German government of the Berlin Document Center, the world's largest collection of materials documenting activities of Nazi officials during World War II.
The files, which were assembled by American occupation forces after the war, comprise some 75 million documents and include more than 10 million Nazi Party membership cards and over half-a-million personal documents of Nazi storm troopers.
Since 1945, the files, overseen by the United States, have been a crucial source of information for historians, Nazi-hunters and prosecutors.
On Friday, amid assurances from German officials that access to the files would remain unchanged, the United States officially handed control of the center to German authorities.
The handover took place after the entire collection of files had been copied to microfilm, with the copies to be housed in the U.S. National Archives in Washington.
Although the agreement to return the documents to German control was signed in Berlin in October 1993, discussions of the subject began as early as March 1967.
The talks became deadlocked in 1968 as a result of American concern over private scholars' access to the documents. Negotiations resumed in June 1979.
The ceremony marking the handover took place three months before the last American soldiers are scheduled to leave Berlin.
Despite the microfilm copies, however, Jewish organizations and members of Congress have expressed concern about access to the files.
At issue is continued access to the center in Germany while the National Archives completes the preparations necessary to make the microfilm copies available in Washington.
In Washington, Bill Cunliffe, director of the Center for Captured German and Related Records at the National Archives, confirmed that it will take up to two years to have all the documents available to the public, although some of the files will be available as early as December.
Cunliffe disputed reports that not all of the documents were copied before the handover of the center to the Germans.
He said that the "front and back of every file was meticulously" copied and that the copies are of "very good quality."
Aware of protests in the United States over the decision to give the German government control of the center, the new directors in Berlin insisted that nothing will change under German control.
But they did outline some potentially controversial procedural changes for those wishing to access the center's files.
The German authorities said they plan to extend the center's operating schedule by two hours, adding that they will try to speed up requests for information.
But they also will make it difficult for researchers to obtain information on suspected Nazis if the person has not been dead for at least 30 years.
Siegfried Buttner, vice president of the German Federal Archives, said it will be possible to obtain information on living persons, but that the person will first be notified and asked for his or her permission to release the documents.
If permission to release the documents.
If permission is denied, the information could still be given, but an applicant will have to supply good reasons for requesting the information, he said.
Buttner also said that certain details of a person's file might be withheld.
For example, he said, information on a woman still living who was not involved with Nazi war crimes, but who is mentioned in connection with a leading Nazi official such as Joseph Mengele would be removed from Mengele's file before it is handed over to researchers.
Two days before the documents were transferred to German control, Chancellor Helmut Kohl assured the World Jewish Congress of continued access to the files.
"On behalf of Federal Chancellor Kohl, I wish to confirm to you and (WJC President) Edgar Bronfman the assurances which the chancellor provided to you when you met in Bonn on May 2 regarding access to the documents," German Ambassador Immo Stabreit stated in a letter hand-delivered last week to WJC Secretary-General Israel Singer.
On May 2, Singer met with Kohl and German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel, both of whom assured him that the same rules of access in effect under the Americans would apply after the document center fell under German control.
Last week, Bronfman expressed satisfaction with the manner in which the handover took place.
"The controversy over the transfer of the Berlin Document Center has ended in a manner which preserves the integrity of scholarly access to these valuable papers, which the demands of history place upon us," Bronfman said.
Elan Steinberg, WJC executive director, also voiced satisfaction with the German assurances.
But he said his organization would nonetheless support a decision by U.S. Rep. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to establish a group to monitor the accessibility of the documents in the German facility.
Concerned over the possible two-year period before all the copied files will be available for inspection at the U.S. National Archives, Schumer has called for the formation of a monitoring group that will include members of Congress, Jewish organizations and non-Jewish historical groups.
"Is the search for Nazis to stop for two years because the U.S. rushed to give back control of these files to the Germans before we have copies?" Schumer asked in a statement.
"I am outraged and frustrated over the way this transfer is being handled. Surviors and scholars must get to these files," the congressman said.
The monitoring group will request documentation from an American liaison in Germany regarding the accessibility of files at the Berlin Document Center.
The group will also seek information regarding overall operations at the facility to make sure that Germany does not move documents from the Berlin center to other areas of the country.
"The monitoring group is a must," Schumer said. "An understanding of the past is crucial to comprehending its consequences in the present. If we do not learn from the past then 'never again' is an empty promise."

GWEN IFILL: We turn now to politics with a look at the states that will see the most action during the presidential campaign.
Mitt Romney stumped today in Virginia and he plans two more visits to the state this week. And President Obama heads to Virginia twice this week, including Saturday's reelection kickoff in Richmond.
For more on how the battle is being waged in Virginia and beyond, we are joined by Susan Page, Washington bureau chief for USA Today, and NewsHour political editor Christina Bellantoni.
Welcome, ladies.
Let's start by talking about why Virginia. It's not just because it's across the river from Washington.
SUSAN PAGE, USA Today: Well, it is close, but that's not why.
Think about how Virginia has changed. The last time it went — President Obama carried it four years ago, but the previous time it had gone Democratic was in 1964. But this is a different kind of state, once a Republican bastion, now very much in play with all those college-educated white voter voters in the Northern Virginia suburbs, a growing number of Hispanic voters, and very much one of the most important swing states this time around.
GWEN IFILL: Susan, let's talk about what happened — Susan.
Christina, let's talk about what happened in 2008. Tell us — break it down for us, exactly how President Obama won in Virginia.
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI: Sure.
Well, this was no accident that he won in Virginia. They campaigned very hard for him there. First off, his first general election rally was there, and his last general election rally was there before election night. He won by seven points in part by winning the Northern Virginia suburbs and these ex-burbs, which are very close to Washington.
It's a growing population. It's that sort of class of voter that he tends to win across the country. But he also won the urban centers and he was able to win in the military regions in the Southeast, which are very plentiful. And this is where other candidates have been able to target, and that's sort of the swing area.
GWEN IFILL: But then a year later, Bob McDonnell, who is now the governor, a Republican, managed to win. How did he turn the state the other way?
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI: Yes. So this was traditional, a big, big stomping win for Bob McDonnell in this case, but he was able to win those Northern Virginia suburbs, which is very important, particularly for Republicans because. . .
GWEN IFILL: As we can see here on the map, yes.
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI: Yeah. Republicans don't tend to win in that area. It's a more Democratic area. It's where the Democratic members of Congress are concentrated. So being able to win up there is very crucial, which is why Mitt Romney was there today. He's very much targeting that swing suburban voter up there.
GWEN IFILL: Okay.
So the swing continued then in 2010. The midterm elections, where we saw across the nation so many shifts happen, happened in Virginia as well.
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI: Yeah.
This Republican wave really came through Virginia, where you lost three Democratic seats that flipped over to Republican seats. And that started in the very conservative area in Southwest Virginia.
GWEN IFILL: Show me what we're looking at.
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI: That's the Ninth Congressional District in the southwest corner there. That was Rick Boucher's district. He lost.
Then the Fifth District, which is sort of the Central Virginia — it starts in Lynchburg and goes south. That was a seat where a Democratic member who had won with the Obama wave in 2008 was swept out. And then Hampton Roads, this military region in the southeast.
So these are all very crucial areas, and the Democrats are down to three seats in Virginia.
GWEN IFILL: So we know what the state of the state is in Virginia. What is the state of the strategy of either of these campaigns to try to win it?
SUSAN PAGE: You know, one of the great things about covering presidential politics is you don't have to listen to what campaigns tell you. You can watch where they spend their money and they spend their time.
And, as you know, we're seeing both the candidates, Romney here today, in a different part of the state tomorrow with the governor by his side. We see President Obama here on Friday, and then back again on Saturday. You know, if you want ton where the Obama campaign believes this election elect will be won or lost, look at the two states that he's going to go to announce his campaign, Ohio, maybe the quintessential swing state, a state no Republican has won the White House without covering — carrying Ohio, and Virginia.
GWEN IFILL: And they're already spending money, as you mentioned, on advertising on the air.
SUSAN PAGE: That's right.
GWEN IFILL: We know, a lot of money or. . .
SUSAN PAGE: A lot of money. And, in fact, Restore Our Future, which is the super PAC that is supporting Romney, announced today $4.3 million in ad purchases in several states, including Virginia.
GWEN IFILL: Christina, let's skip through of the other target states, because it's not just Virginia. Virginia is just the tip of what may be the deciding iceberg, as it were.
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI: Right. And there's a lot of battleground states we're going to be seeing action in.
But we have highlighted a couple today, starting with New Hampshire, where this is a perennial battleground state. Republicans will try to win here in a presidential year. And it has flipped with several different elections.
And an example, if you look at the 2010 Senate race, Kelly Ayotte was able to win by 23 points. But along with that, the two congressional seats flipped, which had flipped the year before that.
GWEN IFILL: She's the Republican senator. . .
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI: Now Republican senator, yeah. And so that's one that we're looking at.
Then you have got New Mexico, which is that crucial area in the Southwest that President Obama's campaign is very much targeting. He swept the Southwest in 2008. And in 2010, this is another example where you can look at Susana Martinez. She's a Republican who was able to win the governor's race there. There had been a Democratic governor, Bill Richardson, before, and a congressional seat flipped.
So you really start to see the trends. And that's why Republicans are trying to target there. The Democrats are feeling pretty confident there. Then, of course, Pennsylvania, which is another example of this working-class state, where you have got a lot of voters — Susan and I have talked about this, about that working-class voter that has not necessarily warmed up to President Obama that the Romney campaign really thinks they can target.
In 2010, you saw the Republican, Tom Corbett, win this governor's race by nine points, and several congressional seats flip, plus the Senate race. So you have had several big changes. And that's what they're trying to capitalize on.
GWEN IFILL: Well, not only are at least two of those three people you just mentioned on the vice presidential speculation list for the Republicans, but it also is part of the map for the Electoral College, isn't it?
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI: Absolutely. And on our Vote 2012 Map Center, you can take a look at — you start with the base 2008 map that President Obama won, and then you just look at these states that we have talked about, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New Mexico.
And you've got 42 electoral votes up for grabs right there. Now, based on these numbers, President Obama would win reelection. But when you talk about some of the other changes in the state, it's going to be an interesting, close race.
GWEN IFILL: Are these campaigns actually looking at Electoral College votes already?
SUSAN PAGE: Oh, yes, absolutely.
And you don't see them wasting time in states that either they're guaranteed to win or guaranteed to lose. All the action is going to be in about 12 states, including the four you just mentioned, because they do have Electoral College strategies in mind.
And, interesting, you look at those four states, all four of them had Democratic governors in 2008. Three of them have Republican governors going into 2012. And that is one thing that gives the Romney people some hope that these are states that they can win back.
GWEN IFILL: And, Susan, what are the issues which are resonating with voters in these states? You're not swinging to and fro just on a whim. There's something that's driving this.
SUSAN PAGE: Well, I think the economy is the issue for every kind of voter in America.
And when — when Gov. Romney made his appearance in Northern Virginia this morning, I was there. He was talking about helping small businesses, helping job creation. He was also surrounded by women small business owners, an effort to address the gender gap that has been a problem for him.
The economy — also education, that's another thing Gov. Romney talked about today. And it's what the focus — it's the focus of President Obama's visit on Friday to a Northern Virginia high school.
GWEN IFILL: And they're spending a lot of time on college campuses as well, both of them.
When you talk to voters as you go out to these campaign events and you see the people they're talking to, the people who come in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week to a political event, what are they curious about? What are they — what are they telling you?
SUSAN PAGE: Well, I talked to some voters today at the Romney event, and some of them were Republican voters that had been a little slow to warm to Romney.
I talked to a Gingrich voter, another voter who thought, was Romney conservative enough? They seem to be falling in line behind him. Interestingly, several of the voters I talked to in Northern Virginia today were Obama voters four years ago.
That surprised me a little because these kind of events usually get true believers there. I mean, that's a sign that there has been some erosion for President Obama in these suburbs.
GWEN IFILL: They are curious or they are switching?
SUSAN PAGE: They are switching. And the voters in that category — now, it's just a couple voters. It's not any kind of scientific sample, but the issue they talk about, it's the economy, it's jobs, and it's the federal debt and deficit.
GWEN IFILL: Okay. Well, we'll be watching all of those issues, Susan Page, all year long, Christina Bellantoni. Thank you both very much.
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI: Thank you.
SUSAN PAGE: Thank you.
GWEN IFILL: Online, you can use our Vote 2012 Map Center to try out different fall election scenarios for yourself. You will also find demographic data on who will be voting and where.

MUNICH (Oct. 6)
Some 3,000 Polish and Ukrainian DP's in several camps in Bavaria were today on a 48-hour hunger strike in protest against the extradition to Poland of two Polish DP's charged with committing atrocities against Jewish prisoners in Nazi concentration camps.
The strike began yesterday when nearly 1,000 inmates of the Mittenwald camp protested in support of the two war criminals who were taken from their camp. Late last night some 2,200 others at the Ulm and Neu-Ulm camps joined in a sympathy strike.
Meanwhile, it was learned that the public prosecutor in the town of Marktredwitz has ordered the arrest of Max Dessel, a resident of the town, on charges of complicity in the desecration of the town's only synagogue last week. The prosecutor also opened proceedings against Dessel and his brother-in-law, Hans Reise, who organized the desecration.

Now it's official
My daughter's soccer season officially began last night, even though she has been playing for weeks.
That's because we spent an hour and a half in ER following a mishap on the soccer field. Malori has been injured every single season in every sport she has ever played. The paperwork we sign at the beginning of each season states succinctly and accurately that if your child plays sports, he or she will eventually be injured. Boy, is that an understatement. We don't consider any season to be official until we've reported to ER and pulled the crutches out of the attic.

Monkeys by mail
The ads in old comic books are a hoot. Some of the craziest involved the purchase of sea monkeys and — in rare cases — real monkeys. The image above comes from a new article posted at comicbookresources.com that is all about one young consumer's purchase of a simian pet that arrived via mail. I bet such things would be prohibited today. The story is funny and oddly touching. You can read it here.

On a pilgrimage
I'm taking a graduate class this fall whose subject is Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. If you aren't familiar with the work, it is a series of tales — mostly in verse — told by a fictional group of pilgrims traveling from London to Canterbury to see the bones of the martyred Thomas Becket. Chaucer's original plan was to have each of the 31 pilgrims tell four stories each — two each on the way to Canterbury and two more on the way back — but he completed only 24 stories before his death.

King of the Geats
If you're familiar at all with Beowulf, either the epic Old English poem or the more recent movie adaptation of the same, you'll enjoy this clip:
Apparently, the film incarnation of Beowulf sleeps with Grendel's mother, a hideous beast whose equally monstrous son has been terrorizing the community. In the original poem, he hacks up Mom with a sword. "Make love, not war," is the motto of this new-age hero.

Hell is an L-shaped desk
I spent most of Sunday on my knees, but not in church.
No, I was assembling an L-shaped desk my wife bought for our spare bedroom, which long ago became designated the "computer room." The two desks we had wedged into the room weren't very convenient for the kind of work either of us does there, so we decided to trade up to one monstrosity of a desk, 72 inches on a side.
It took my step-father and me most of the day to move the two desks out of the room, downstairs and to the garage; then pick up the new desk (all 214 pounds of it!), haul it home and take it upstairs. It went up in pieces, because that's the way it came — one of those "some assembly required" jobs, a euphemism for "no two pieces will be attached when you open the box."
The assembly lasted most of the afternoon and into the early evening, with a few breaks for cold drinks and hot pizza. I had a special incentive to finish assembly in one day: All the junk that had been piled on and in the two old desks had migrated to the top of our bed; without the new desk to hold it all, I would have no place to sleep.
We finished with only a few extra screws and pieces rattling around in the box, which should mean the damn thing won't fall apart next week. I know one thing for sure: The only way it's coming out of that room is hacked up into small pieces and thrown on the window.
I've got dibs on the job.

Predicting the end of the world
Here is my print column from Thursday, Sept. 18, as published in The Alliance Review:
The world didn't end on Sept. 10.
This is good news to everybody except possibly the Cleveland Browns, who would have been spared another humiliation from the Steelers, and Sen. John McCain, who could have stopped wondering why he chose a running mate who hijacked his presidential campaign to run for the office herself.
The rest of us can take solace from the fact that scientists who fired up the Large Hadron Collider beneath the earth on the French-Swiss border last

Take a Stand — or better yet, buy one
One of Stephen King's longest, most compelling novels comes to comics this week with the release of The Stand: Captain Trips #1, the first of a five-issue mini-series which, in turn, is the first of several mini-series planned to adapt this sprawling, post-apocalyptic tale.
At the helm are writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Mike Perkins, who move through the opening chapter methodically, setting up the characters (a gas-station jockey, a pregnant woman, and an ascending

Treed apes
Since I'm on a bit of a nostalgia kick, here's a photo of a Planet of the Apes tree house play set that I had as a kid. Now, the set above isn't the one I actually owned, mind you (although, come to think of it, it could be — who knows what Mom did with the original), but a photo from a site dedicated to chronicling the great Mego toys of yesteryear.
I spent many a happy hour with my Apes action figures — don't call 'em dolls! — and this tree house, a memory jogged by the storm — helped return to earth of a newer POTA toy. That entry is here. It inspired Review Capitol Bureau reporter Marc Kovac to wax nostalgic about his own Mego Apes play set.

More Dicky Moe
Because absolutely nobody demanded it, if you click here, you can see in its entirety the 1962 Tom and Jerry cartoon called "Dicky Moe." It's a seafaring parody of Melville's Moby Dick, with an obsessed one-legged captain who paces the poop deck muttering, "Dicky Moe, Dicky Moe!" For some reason, that image has stuck with me for years until I exorcised it by watching the cartoon on something called Tubearoo, which is like YouTube's annoying little cousin.
I'm not the biggest Tom and Jerry fan, but I like the series well enough, and I especially enjoy the Simpson's version, called Itchy and Scratchy, where the violence level is turned up to ten and still can't compete with some of the sadistic images from the original cartoons.
Dicky Moe! Dicky Moe!

Life Size Electric Guitar Cookie Help
Baking By motherofgrace Updated 8 Jan 2010 , 3:06pm by DianeLM
ok, so my dads birthday is coming up. And I want to make him something extra special.
So this is what I thought up.
I giant cookie, in the shape of a guitar. But not just lay down, I want to stand it up like its in a guitar stand.
Now I was thinking I needed to do it in peices. And I will do electric, cuz of the thickness.
But how do you think I could puill this off? I would really like to use sugar cookie (his fav).
Find a clipart of your guitar. Print it out the size you want, then trim. Use a good firm cookie recipe, like NFSC. Roll dough 1/2" thick. Use template and handcut shape. Bake in low oven (300F-325F), watching carefully for it to start browning. Let rest on tray for a minute, then remove to cool.
Cut a template for 90 degree triangle piece, one side needs to be tall enough to support guitar, other side needs to be just long enough to stablilize standing guitar. Cut this piece out of dough and cook.
Decorate guitar. Let dry well. Then attach support piece to back, using choc melts or royal icing.
after decorating and drying, you may need to add support behind the neck. use melts to attach skewers or popcicle sticks to back side.
I should be more clear, I want this to be almost life size.... a complete replica of his guitar.
So when he see's it, it looks like his guitar is sitting there on the table
Guess you could use the Xerox at work, and make copies of your Dad's guitar (in sections).
(PS thanks for fixing the name!)
Im mostly worried about how to stick the pieces together, and make it stable enough to stand.
Could you cut foam core in the guitar shape and use that as a backing. (Just an idea.)
I would start with one whole template. Divide it into managable cookie pieces. But, instead of a straight line to divide the pieces, cut a tongue and groove as in the picture here:
When the cookies come out of the oven, immediately place the template over them and trim any spreading. That way, they'll fit together perfectly.
I would also reinforce the back of the guitar with a strip of foamboard glued on with royal icing.
However you do this, it will be HEAVY. Be sure you have really good support.

Reviews for Cream-Filled Cupcakes
Average Rating
"I used butter instead of shortening it was amazing I had a lot left over so I used it for the frosting as well. I probably could have put more inside the cupcake but it was my first time so I was a little unsure. I also made a chocolate ganache for the top as well for some again amazing. Will definitely keep this recipe"
"Not all that impressed. I was hoping for a more marshmallow flavor in the filling. Ganache was runny"
"They are so good and so easy. My husband loves them. I used butter instead of shortening for the filling and they turned out great."
"I have made these many times."
"the best cupcakes in the world. i have never made the frosting on receipe. i use 1 stick butter 2 cups choc chips,warm it on stove till melted then let cool. holy yum. its the kids fav"
"Filling recipe is horrible. It tastes like pure shortening. I even added extra powdered sugar."
"The recipe states to fill through the bottom, but you just stab through the top. Someone asked for a tip with the ganache, here's what I did. I followed the recipe up until it said to "allow" it to cool. Well, I had no time to wait, so I filled a large bowl with ice-water, put the ganache in a Pyrex measuring cup, and then put the glass cup inside the ice filled bowl, and whisked away. It took about 5 minutes of whisking, but it got a wonderful spreading consistency, almost like a thick sour cream texture. I just took a spoon and plotched it on the cupcakes and spread it around! I think the extra whipping I did also made it more fluffy, which was great! Hubby and kids chowed on them and said "don't wait so long to make those again!""
"Sorry, I was looking at another filling when I asked this question."
"Just want to know before I make them that if I wanted to add a flavor such as cherry or whatever, what would I use and also do I need to use whole milk or will 2% do?"
"This cupcake has been requested several times by friends for parties. Delicious!!"
"great recipe!! Super easy to make too."
"When I dip my cupcakes into the ganache, I have a mess. How long should you let the ganache thicken up? Any tips on how to have a neater process?"
"I make these A LOT and they are always a hit. but I fill the cupcake from the top w/the filling, not the bottom as suggested. You can tell f/the picture that they are filled from the top as well."
"Was delicious all kids and even adults loved it. Pretty and yum. Definitely a keeper and will make it many times more. When i have time that is, lol."
"My family,even the gone from nest kids, lovedthese cupcakes and were very surprised withthe filling, that they said made them extrayummy."
"Looks just like the photo! More time-consuming than some recipes. Very, very yummy, but a lot of work!"
"I did add extra confectioner's sugar when mixing the filling. The first time I made them, I brought them to a party with adults, teens, and kids. These cupcakes were the first dessert to be finished. Everyone raved about liking them and I was asked often for the recipe."
"sorry cherry flavored"
"These are great for kids and lots of fun. I made one set of cupcakes with red dye and cheey flavored and another set with yellow dye and banana flavored for my kids party they were gone before we finished the song....Thanks alot:)"
"Reminds me of Hostess cupcakes (which i love) they are great and i'm making them for easter with alittle sugar flower on top. Thank you"
"I asked my sister-in-law to make this for my daughters baby shower, which was ove 100 guests(and for those few who took it upon themselves to bring their children) and I was surprised when guests were leaving, they certainly were lining up to takethese great cupcakes home with them. There was not one left and she made appx 150. Everyone absolutely raved about them, definitely is a "must do" for the future gatherings or for achilds birthday party or better yet....just for snacks. Thanks Taste of Home!!!"
"One of the best recipes ever! These are Fantastic!"
"first batch didn't even last 2 days!!! my family loved them"
"color me red....'puter wouldn't open the recipe until last night. Baked 'em today and sooooo good!Am making more for Easter !"
"how do i get the recipe?"
"easy to make and tasted great.Kids and grandkids(even adults)loved them."
"I use white Crisco. I use it in my white butter cream frosting I frost all my cakes with. I use Wilton Meringue Mix that I get at Wal-mart. I've found that you can use this same recipe and add cocoa powder towards the end in place of powdered sugar to make chocolate frosting that won't melt off a cake in the heat of summer! The recipe for the white buttercream frosting is with the mix. I don't use quite as much powdered sugar as it calls for. Good luck all!"
"I have made this recipe several times and lo!ve it! It is so simple to do and yet impresses everyone. The idea of cream filled cupcakes has intrigued me since I was a child. It's like I've learned a magic trick! Thank you."
"The salt is used to cut the sweetness of the filling. I do the same thing when I make buttercream frosting for cakes. I add a 1/2 tsp salt to 1/2 cup of hot water & dissolve it. Then I add the water to the sugar & crisco by tablespoon as needed to mix it all together. I like using water instead of milk.Martha"
"Oh does that sound delicious. The kind of delicious that sends a dieters calorie count sky high, but is worth every bite of both of them."
"if the salt was ommited would the cream still be just as good?"
"I use a recipe similar to this when I make Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies.I use Crisco shortening and it is really good.I can't wait until I try these chocolate cream filled cupcakes,they sound yummy,jackie"
"Regarding the comment about shortening, that would be Crisco or Spry vegetable shortening. These cupcakes are great. Thanks for the recipe"
"What is the "shortening" referred to in this recipe? Butter, margarine or something else? Thanks"
"My family loved these. The first batch didn't last the afternoon."
"These take a little time--but are so worth it. Karen"

Grammar has its own quirks. A noun with additives or as part of a phrase that can spell action may be more potent, even incriminating or damaging, than a plain noun. Take, for instance, the three-letter word. As a plain noun, it stands for gender. With necessary additives, it could be a normal act, but it could also be an illicit act, molestation, or more serious versions as defined by the law.
Now take the word "file". It's just the reverse in application. As a noun it can be more damning than its damned self. Converted into a form of action, it is a neat, routine, at times a noble action. You can "file" a plea or petition, "file" for mercy, "file" a truthful affidavit, or simply and honestly "file" your tax returns. Extending horizontally in the same breadth, if your name figures in any "file" that is in government offices, stacked, missing, or in the process of becoming so, you probably had it. It may not just be you in isolation, there could be a significant part of the government machinery involved, including the chief bureaucrat of the ministry involved, and further ahead, the last stop where the buck goes round in circles, only to drop off the table, lost for a while, or forever!
Diligence in "babudom" is an act shown, rarely done. You must have noted this species that sit in their white archaic cars, not earlier than dusk, and not before the peon has put a pile of stacked papers tied to a cardboard with worn-out synthetic flaps, anchored with a cord material in a manner in which you tie a pajama knot. This inconspicuous bundle may contain all the nitty-gritty of the new super expressway between the Capital and Mumbai. Such great worth, held back only by a pajama string. Mostly it is unknotted at the wrong time before the wrong person. That is periodic national shame.
The diligent "babu" normally carries a slimmer bundle in his armpit. What a feeling to have a quarter of the names of the captains of industry doodling to bag the tender, squeezed into the stench and suffocation right under your arm. To add nonchalance to insult, he never tucks in his shirt, wears traditional thick-framed spectacles, and regular Bata chappals. Absolute power needs no bells and whistles! If you have any insights into government working, your name is likely to be in one of those which the "babu" carries so possessively. Reminds you of school days where the teacher carried a similar bundle of answer sheets along with her books. Some browbeating tactics of life never change!
Files, as most of us are getting aware of, are basic files, advanced files, files final, in a particular order of ascendency. Then there are revised files, files turned down for correction, and files secretly retained for selection.
When the final announcements are made, there are counter-files that object to the process of selection, claiming bias towards certain politicians, even brethren of babus who have nothing to do with the natural resource entity, and a certain section who are allotted rightly, but who departed immediately thereafter due to the uncontrollable excitement of getting rich, and can't be traced for the time being. You will have names such as "Trilokinath Sidhare", "Dinanath Gawade" and "Hasmukhbhai Batware". These come under the classification of "benami, or bemani". But as you can see, with the facility of adding to one's name, the village, ex-wife, another given name and a password, there will be suitable competitors if they can just show all the alphabets as decided by section officer, in all probability, a certain "Mangey Ram", or "Mata Prasad". This segment is reserved to be auctioned again, so that those who did not come first to be served first, can now start showing due interest in the ministry, and start tapping their NRI kin.
Remember governments govern, and beyond that continue due diligence to perfect the art and craft of governance. The rest of the nation is free to work, pay taxes on low productions, to keep the CAD within governable limits.We were a much happier people before we knew that such coal blocks existed, and even if they did, they were the un-tampered property safely protected in the bosom of mother earth. The gods must be crazy to have dropped the miner's lantern on a blessed surveyor, for there he saw the crooked black stone, and dark ambitions came to his mind.
Not that mines have not caused furor before. From King Soloman's to the gold rush in Africa, oilfields in middle-east, blood diamond's still causing gang wars, the magnificent, though fictional Mckenna's Gold. Most of the exodus to America was because it was so mineral rich. Between "mines" and "ours" as they come about to be, is the test of a culture's maturity to wait, form fair laws, and finally, with a certain give and take mechanism imbibe it as national wealth. That India got a bloody nose in forming fair rules for allocation of its first major natural resource, simply shows that neither politics nor business has the maturity or even the enforced sense of fairness to carry out a routine, well enunciated policy based on rules. When politicians start becoming more ambitious than business houses, disrupting the growth of a dozen or so established corporates that have kept the nation's GDP up even in a socialist India there is time for a rethink. There is an onus on the government, within means of law, that these global competitors are sufficiently equipped in every sector to take on world economies. Fault finding, digging ad nauseam, be it a lobbyist's tape should have been over and done with long ago. A rectified auction should have taken place forthwith and coal wagons should be on their way to production houses. Anyway, lobbying isn't a crime. The real crime is to let go a sacrosanct rule under pressure of lobbying. Lobbying, within rules that may now be laid down, should be legal.
Finally, that a reputed business house, a bureaucrat with a reputation should be brought to the book overnight almost implicating the highest executive office is a huge waste of time and setback to working confidence. The last quarter has hardly seen any growth in production whatsoever. With uncertainties that may come up in allocation of other natural resources, it is just as well that this responsibility comes under the PMO. There is less chance to err, and the onus to do the right thing is great.
Do investigating agencies work on similar dreams as hermits who imagine thousands of tons of gold! No doubt, the government acts on such wishes! I believe, a true hermit ought to be hallucinating on Nirvana rather on a retro passage to worldly wealth.
Finally, what a file! And how much of coal there is that it talks about. What about the others that went missing. I suggest electronic gadgetry. The maps can be downloaded. Satellites can give estimates as to the amount of coal, and ground level seismology can round up the figures. The government may design its own exclusive app under lock and key.
Like the age-old saying about an exercise in futility, "taking coal to Newcastle", we have just upgraded it for the rest of the world, "taking files to Jharia"!
If it can't come under the hammer, try for a place in grammar!

Adolescents with HgbA1c > or equal to 10% for previous 12 months
Detailed Description:
Many published studies reveal that adult patients with T1DM can have early, silent and more advanced vessel wall thickness than normal subjects. This is influenced by the degree of their blood sugar control. If this is happening in adolescents, we want to know what proportion of adolescent children with type 1 diabetes show signs of early blood vessel damage. We also want to learn if these signs of damage are linked to other factors such as how long someone has had diabetes, blood sugar control or individual differences because of a difference in genetic make-up.

What Do You Refuse To Give Up During the Recession?
No matter what you call it, the economy is dismal. And whether it's due to necessity or just a little financial prudence, a lot of my friends are trimming the fat from their budgets. Gone are the expensive salon highlights; instead, they're coloring their hair at home. Forget facials — it's all about the at-home face mask. Pedicures are an extravagance that they can't justify anymore.
Then again, there are some things people just don't want to give up. I'm willing to skimp on my sunscreen and nail polish, but you'll get my Schick Quattro when you take it from my cold, dead hands. I've tried to go cheap on razors, which results in razor burn, so I'm willing to spend a few extra bucks for a better shave. So while you're cutting back on some things, what won't you give up?

Sarah Jackson's putback layup with 15 seconds to play gave the Cal State San Marcos women's basketball team the lead for good as the Cougars beat Indiana Northwest 62-59 on Saturday in Madison, S.D., to secure a berth in the NAIA tournament.
Reserve forward Michel'La Logan scored 14 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead the Cougars, who trailed 59-58 when Jackson (12 points) gave them the lead.
The victory also put the Cougars (17-14) in Sunday's Association of Independent Institutions championship game. Third-seeded Cal State San Marcos will face the winner of the other AII semifinal, between Valley City State and Jamestown, which was to be contested later Saturday.
Justine Chacon finished with 11 points and four assists for Cal State San Marcos.
Sharon Houston scored a game-high 24 points to lead Indiana Northwest (19-12).
The NAIA Division II tournament begins March 7 in Sioux City, Iowa.

TAMPA — Their friendship began on the first day of first grade — show-and-tell time at the Tampa Downtown Partnership School.
Quentin Williams brought in a magazine about football. Details are sketchy 10 years later, but Williams remembers Deion Sanders was on the cover.
"I liked the magazine," Andre Davis said. "I asked if I could see it …"
"…And we've been friends ever since," Williams finished the sentence.
Fast forward a decade later, and Williams, Jefferson's starting quarterback, and Davis, his favorite receiving target, now form arguably the bay area's top offensive pair.
Williams, who leads Tampa Bay with 1,256 passing yards, enters this week's Class 3A, District 8 game at Lakewood with a county-leading 13 touchdown passes. Ten of those have been to the 6-foot-3 Davis, the bay area's touchdown receptions leader.
"Quentin knows where he's going to be at all times," Jefferson coach Mike Fenton said. "Throwing the football back and forth for all those years, it has to help. They're like brothers. They get on each other, they rib each other, just like brothers."
And when Williams rolls out of the pocket, looks downfield and heaves a pass 40 yards into Davis' hands, you can almost see years of togetherness at work.
"We have that chemistry from playing around in the backyard all those years, chasing each other," Williams said. "I go to his house. He comes to my house."
Off the field, they're side by side. Saturdays they usually go to Skyway Park to watch the Tampa Bay Youth Football League games (Williams played for the Jaguars, Davis the Packers). They'll spend hours on the computer watching YouTube videos of their favorite players (Davis' is Randy Moss, Williams prefers Drew Brees).
"We do everything together," Williams said. "Talk about girls, everything."
In Jefferson's opener against Hillsborough, Williams plowed through the line for the winning two-point conversion. Both agree that 16-15 win was the best they've shared. After the game, the juniors collapsed into each others arms crying, dedicating the win to former Dragons linebacker C.J. Mills.
Mills, who was shot and killed two years ago, was a big brother to both. He used to attend their TBYFL games and tell them how great it would be when they joined him at Jefferson.
This week, they can win an even bigger game, one that almost surely will punch their ticket to the playoffs and maybe a district championship if they combine it with a home win over Spoto on Oct. 23.
"We've been looking forward to it all week," Davis said. "It's our first district game. Our first playoff game basically."
They're on the same page.
"It's a playoff game," Williams said. "We've got to go in there focused. We're going into a hostile environment so we've got to prove to the state that we ain't no joke this year."
The biggest of the big games
While tonight's prep football slate is chock full of pivotal district contests, two games — Jefferson-Lakewood and Boca Ciega-Sickles — are of particular significance. Here's why:
The must-win game
For all intents, Sickles' 4A-10 showdown with Boca Ciega is a playoff game for the Gryphons, 0-1 in this four-team district. If they lose tonight and Largo defeats Leto as expected, Bogie and Largo both would have wins over Leto and Sickles, clinching the district's two playoff spots. If Sickles prevails, the district is still anyone's to win.
The really-need-this-one game
For all intents, we can divide Class 3A, District 8 in half. Three teams — Blake, Osceola and Dixie Hollins — are winless, making it essentially a three-team race among Jefferson, Lakewood and Spoto. Should the Dragons lose tonight at Lakewood, they're not out of it , but almost certainly would have to defeat the Spartans at home in two weeks to keep their playoff hopes alive.

My first article is up at TheStreet.com about The Credit Score You Don't Know About. This is a score that the credit bureaus give to lenders, but unlike your credit score, you are not able to access the information that they are using to make sure it is all correct. This brings up quite a few issues since many people find errors in their credit reports which affect their credit scores.
Experian hinted back in 2005 that they might make the bankruptcy risk score public, but we haven't heard a peep out of them or the other two credit bureaus since then about this score. I'm not sure why people aren't making much more of a fuss about this. I am assuming it's because most people just don't know that it exists and not that they don't care.
Since in most cases, the bankruptcy risk report aligns with the credit report, most people would not even notice it exists, but for a few, it could cause some problems in getting loans at better interest rates. As long as there aren't a lot having this problem, there probably won't be enough support to get the credit bureaus to make the bankruptcy risk report more transparent.

Does the Distribution of Income Affect Life Expectancy?
Brief Analyses | Government | Health
No. 328
Tuesday, July 18, 2000
by Gerald Scully
In the history of social thought, advocates of a more equal distribution of income have made many arguments to support their cause. Egalitarians are now advancing a new argument: inequality of income leads to poorer health.
"There is a considerable body of research linking income inequality to poor health outcomes," say the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Economic Policy Institute in a recent study. The International Health Program of the University of Washington and the Health Alliance International have established a Web site "devoted to providing the background scientific evidence" that "the greater the income differences within populations ... the worse their health."
Do these claims have merit?
International Comparisons
According to protagonists, one effect of unequal income distribution is reduced life expectancy. They point to selected examples in which people in countries with a more equal income distribution have longer average life expectancies than do those in countries with a wider income gap between rich and poor. However, a casual look at life expectancy statistics reveals no obvious pattern [see Figure I ]:
- On the one hand, Sweden, the Netherlands and Belgium all have very high life expectancies and are also considered very egalitarian.
- By comparison, Japan is less egalitarian but has a higher life expectancy.
- The United States, United Kingdom and Canada have far more income inequality than the above countries, as well as lower life expectancies.
- However, life expectancies in the U.S., U.K. and Canada are about the same, even though the U.K. and Canada have national health insurance dedicated to equal care for all and the U.S. does not.
Anecdotal evidence such as comparisons of life expectancy in the United States with that in Sweden can be misleading, since there are an abundance of lifestyle choices available that may affect longevity. For example, in a society where consumers are free to choose, some will prefer a monthly subscription to cable television to an annual medical checkup. In the United States, where health insurance often must cover costly government-mandated medical benefits, many conclude they will receive more benefit from the purchase of something other than health insurance.
Income Distribution vs. Standard of Living
One measure of a country's standard of living is per capita gross domestic product (GDP), and studies consistently show it is related to life expectancy. Poorer countries obviously have less to spend on preventive medicine and health care than wealthier countries. That may explain why average longevity is much shorter in poor countries. Is there also a statistically meaningful relationship between income distribution and life expectancy?
To analyze this question, I examined the relationship between average life expectancy and income distribution in 1995, using a statistical technique called regression analysis. I also examined the relationship between average life expectancy and per capita GDP. To focus on the distribution of income without the confounding effect of living in an impoverished society, I limited my data collection to 24 advanced countries having a per capita GDP of $7,500 or more. Among the results:
- There is a positive relationship between life expectancy and a more equal income distribution that is statistically significant but not particularly strong, leading to a predicted 7.1-year difference in life expectancy between the most-and least-egalitarian countries in the sample, based on inequality alone.
- However, there is also a positive, statistically significant relationship between life expectancy and per capita income, leading to a predicted 6.3-year difference between the highest and lowest per capita GDP countries in the sample, based on income alone.
Which variable matters more? When the two affects are considered simultaneously, differences among countries in life expectancy are fully explained by differences in standards of living. Inequality of income is statistically insignificant. [See Figure II .]
Does Welfare Matter?
Absent government intervention, the market distribution of income would be an accurate measure of income inequality, at least in high-income, more-advanced economies. However, government affects the distribution of income through taxation, which is often progressive, and through government expenditures, which may also favor lower-income individuals over those with higher incomes. A proper measure of income distribution would subtract all taxes from market income and add back direct and indirect government spending. No such data exist, but we can estimate the effect of government intervention on life expectancy through statistical analysis by relating life expectancy to transfers and subsidies as a share of GDP and to total government expenditures as a share of GDP.
Presumably, one of the functions of government is to improve the quality of its citizens' lives, and the length of one's life would seem to be paramount. However, statistical analysis involving average life expectancy and its relationship to a combination of factors - per capita GDP, an index of government transfers and subsidies as a share of GDP and an index of total government expenditures as a share of GDP - reveals that the fiscal activity of government does not add a day to the length of our lives.
The evidence suggests that the level of national income is important to longevity but that how it is distributed among the population does not matter, at least in high-income countries. Government, no matter how large it gets or how much it engages in income redistribution, does not appear to contribute to longevity in developed countries.
These findings may shock those who believe government intervention is beneficial. The findings go against conventional wisdom but on closer examination are quite reasonable. In a democracy, to get elected and stay in office, one must get a majority of the votes and that majority is the middle class. Thus in any democratic nation, most taxes are paid by and most government expenditures are directed to the middle class.

Baroda beat Punjab by eight runs at the Brabourne Stadium yesterday to lift their maiden Syed Mushtaq Ali national T20 title. Interestingly, this was Baroda's first title in over a decade, having last won the Ranji Trophy in 2001.
Playing his first match in the knockout phase of the national T20s, Irfan Pathan was at his best scoring an unbeaten 36 off 23 balls (five fours & a six) and then snaring two crucial wickets. From 91 for five, Irfan and skipper Pinal Shah (39 off 28 balls) helped the victors post a decent 149 for six.
Punjab scored 141 for eight.
Man of the match Irfan said it was a crucial outing for him. "I was charged up since yesterday. You don't get to play the final of a national tournament every year. In my 12-year career, this was only my third final. So, I was keen to do well," he said.
The India all-rounder took pride in his performance. "I am happy to have contributed with the bat here because I haven't got a lot of chances to bat with the Indian team. So, I was a nervous when I came out to bat today, but after a few strokes, I was comfortable.
About his bowling, the 27-year-old left-arm pacer said: "I bowled exactly to plan. The slower ones, yorkers... all came off well. From a personal point of view, this game has brought me back to my prime," said Irfan, who has played 29 Tests, 115 ODIs and 16 T20I for India.

Ten proactive measures to help you plan and maintain a dry, working quarry.
by David Stewart and Stephanie Hassler
To an outsider, an open pit mine may appear to be nothing more than a fancy hole in the ground. But mining insiders know the level of detail involved in mine planning, including efforts to keep water from stopping production. Consider taking the following proactive measures to keep your pit floor as dry as possible.
10. Pipe large amounts of water that could enter the pit to a sump away from loading and travel ways. Productivity is cut drastically if the material is wet. In addition, a wet pit floor can wreak havoc on rubber tires, particularly on front-end loaders.

I can't stop thinking about HER name! (+ discussion on 'name stealing')
I'm not really sure where this should go, so I'm plopping it in here.
I met with my SIL a few days ago. We ended up talking about life and kids (you know, the usual topics that follow women freshly married!). She mentioned that if she were to have a daughter, she'd want to name her Liliana. I've always liked Liliana. It's by far my favorite of the Lily-names, but I always dismissed it as too frilly to actually use. But now? I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. I think I'm falling for it and I don't want to. Urgghh. It's okay, I'm sure my current infatuation will pass. It's not a big deal anyway because we're both kinda far from kids.
Anyway, I'm posting not just to vent my frustration (with myself, hahaha), but to pose an issue that doesn't get talked about very often. We see boards of people lamenting that someone else "stole" "their" name, as if it was an item that belonged to them alone. We always commiserate with them but in the end tell that person that it's all free game on who has a baby first. Welll... have you ever "stole" a name? What happened? Discuss!
Just to clarify, I have no plans of using Liliana/"stealing" it from her! It was just an interesting feeling, to be on the opposite side of the coin.

A name can not be stolen. If a family member or friend wanted to use my son's name they have all the right to do so. Actually I personally would not mind.
Liliana is a beautiful name. Have you considered Lilia? I also love Lilla (lil-ah), Lily, and Lilian/Lillian. I love lily names. lol I have Lilia Rose in my top three, I would call her the full name quite often.

Not to my knowledge. I'm obsessed with names but friends and family don't care so I don't end up hearing about baby names until they arrive or, sometimes during the pregnancy I'll ask.
I've been crushing super bad on Lila lately, but I can't use it sadly. It really clashes with the last name.
April 24th, 2014 10:03 PM #7
I think it depends on who the person is and what the name is... I have names on my list that are uncommonly used - my favorite girls name, Endora, was used less than 5 times in the US last year. I'd be rather upset if I mentioned it to someone as my favorite name and they decided to use it without talking to me first. I'd be thrilled that some little girl was named Endora - my FH doesn't like it much at the moment. But, it would be very unlikely that they came across the name on their own as it doesn't show up on many name lists and only a true name nerd would probably ever even consider it. If I told someone I loved the name Olivia I wouldn't be upset if they used it without consulting me - after all the name is EVERYWHERE right now, and it would be easy for them to forget I said that.
I don't know if that makes sense but it really comes down to the popularity of a name. There is also the degree of separation - a sister or SIL "stealing" a name could be much more of a sore point than even a good friend.Little Lorelei - May 2016Endora - Freya - Merida - Viola - Zelda

I didn't actually steal a name, but my SIL planted the name in my head. We were both pregnant together and discussing baby names, and she mentioned the name Jack. It was not something I really considered before, but she tested it out using her maiden name by accident (which is my last name now) And I fell in love with the sound.
I felt terrible because I loved the sound of the name. Thankfully my husband didn't like Jack.
And neither of us had ended up with boys named Jack- she had a Logan and I had a Maddox.
I think I am more concerned for names that I love being used when I am not pregnant. I feel like it is one thing to dibs a name when you are having a baby, but to 'claim' one while you are not expecting and someone else is, isn't really fair. So I'm really hoping none of my close friends or family end up having a little Rosalie before I start ttc again.Maddox (Max) James 08.31.13.

Financial Software
Financial Software Questions? Ask IT Support for Answers ASAP
Hello and thanks for your question today. Do you know how to work with QuickBooks? Or are you a novice on this program?
Assuming you know how QuickBooks works, using this program for just "inventory" purposes is simple. But this is kind of like buying a car to just listen to a radio.
You will need to set up your items in the Item List.
You will want to set up just one generic customer, and at least one generic vendor (to buy inventory from)
You can use the Cash Receipt with the generic customer to record items going out of inventory (sales). You can have a nominal retail price since you are not tracking sales in QBooks.
When its time to buy new inventory, you simply purchase it from the generic vendor.
what if we have more than one vendor?
The car radio as FIFTEEN stations!
It doesn't matter unless you are using QB to track that.
No, I just want to track when we purchase inventory... and how much inventory we have and when a sales is complete
You can enter ALL your vendors if you wish. You can even use the Purchase Order system if you need to. But if you use POs you will NEED to enter all vendor names.
ok that makes sense. how does it all wash?
or flow
as of now, I have a list of inventory and a list of vendors already in the system. when I take payment for a product is does not go through this qb system it is deposited into the LLC quickbboks
Sorry? Did not understand that last comment.
that's ok I figured. I was curious how I know everything has been done right.
I'm not sure how you know it is all done right if you are using only part of the functionality!
You SHOULD take a physical inventory at least annually and you can match that against the inventory on the books as of the same date.
ok. I have to leave now can I pick up this conversation tomorrow?
You may.
What did you mean by only part of the functionality?
Hello again.
I meant that you are not using all of QuickBooks to track sales, income, expenses, etc.
My analogy was that you bought a car merely to listen to the radio. You are not using the car for transportation. Just as a big radio.
Basically yes. Which is foreign to me... I just want to make sure that these people have it set up right, and that they are successful. If I do a purchase order through this quickbooks do I have to pay for it through this qb? Since there is no bank account I don't see how that is possible
Purchase Orders are not linked to anything. They have no effective on financial statements. Therefore you can create a PO and forget it.
ok great. Now when I create a sales receipt for a customer does that reflect that the inventory is gone? I would just run a report to show this and when the inventory gets low enough I would just reorder correct?
What is the company using to track its financial transactions if not QuickBooks?
Yes, you would need to enter a sales receipt (or invoice) to take an item out of inventory as a sale.
You will be doing duplicate work from the rest of the company records
They are using quickbooks however it is for a different company they have two companies however one is just a vehicle for inventory and sales which I will be managing
OK. Double work it is.
haha.... I don't have much of a choice.. what would you suggest? Should they do it all through one gb?
But non-accounting-experienced managers have no idea. So call it job security for you.
A business opportunity for people like me
is there a way they can link there qb to me? So that I can input but they can still do what they need to from their location?
Yes. As long as they arre willing to give you access to the one QB file there are several ways. They can also limit the areas you have access to within QB
who could help me help them set this up? There is a fee I assume
There are QB proadvisors across the country. You an go to QuickBooks main site and do a search for someone in your area.
ok great thank you for all your help.
Have a profitable day!
Please remember to provide a positive rating to close out the question. It is how we are paid for our time!

ARBUCKLE -- Led by captain and setter Vanessa John, the Lower Lake High School junior varsity volleyball team won its second straight championship at the Pierce Tournament on Saturday in Arbuckle.
John had 12 assists and four aces as the Trojans won four out of five matches to successfully defend their 2012 tournament title.
"I'm very proud of the girls, they've been working very well as a team," Lower Lake coach Amanda Millsap said. "After their one loss they came back with high intensity and great teamwork and took control of the last three games. They definitely earned their first-place victory. I couldn't have asked anything more from them."
The Trojans, now 7-1 on the season, also received solid tournament performances from sophomore Ashlynn Mock, who had five kills and six aces; and freshman Jolean Scarborough, who had seven kills and two blocks."
Lower Lake plays Upper Lake today in Upper Lake at 5 p.m.

Jesus Christ gave His life for us, so that we have life abundantly. He covered our sins, paying huge debts. Why not give our lives for the service of the Lord? Living for Jesus is more meaningful than living for ourselves. How shall we follow His footsteps, so that others can see Him through us?
Prayer. It is our personal relationship with God.
Live as God called us. Everyone is precious in the eyes of the Lord. We must remember that God sees everyone the same and loves everyone equally.

These past few weeks I have been diligently preparing for Lent.
How, you ask?
Well, two weeks ago I found a pair of stone-colored flats online at 30 percent off and bought them. And today I bought a pair of white pants that were on sale (plus I used a $10 off coupon).
Even though it's only early March and I have several or five pairs of white pants in my closet, they are all Capri-length and these are ankle-length, which is more suited to this time of year, or so I am telling myself.
According to a recent LifeWay Research survey, when God answers prayer, he tends to do it in the South.
Two times as many Southerners as people in the Northeast who pray say all of their prayers have been answered.
Hmmm. I live in the South and I'm here to tell you that the survey is hooey, at least if you judge by my "God answers my prayers" track record.
Although a brand new Ford F-150 "Lightning" pickup truck tops my husband's list of dream vehicles, his eyes still mist whenever anyone mentions 'the limo."
