The Ad Council worked with the American Red Cross on public service advertising campaigns for more than 50 years. The PSAs raised public awareness of the various services provided by the Red Cross. They helped recruit blood donors, enlist volunteers and raise funds. In fact, the ads helped to recruit 30,000 volunteers in just one month. In two years, the recruitment campaign increased young adult involvement in the Red Cross by 37%. Additionally, in 1972, a special emergency campaign helped raise more than $15 million for the victims of Hurricane Agnes. Through the years, these campaigns informed the public about steps that they could take to prevent and cope with health problems.

Prerequisite knowledge
Familiarity with Flex and WebORB for .NET is recommended to make the most of this article. Experience configuring Flash Builder project settings is also required.

The WebORB for .NET messaging framework has been integrated with Apache NMS and is capable of connecting messaging destinations with NMS destinations. This enables Flex applications to deliver data to and retrieve data from any NMS-compatible messaging provider such as Apache ActiveMQ or Microsoft Messaging Queue (MSMQ) with minimal configuration. WebORB acts as a proxy between the Flex clients and the NMS destination. This article provides an overview of pushing data from a Flex publisher client to a Flex consumer client using an ActiveMQ messaging provider.
In the overall system design (see Figure 1), WebORB interacts with the queue through the Apache.NMS interface. The Flex producer client connects with WebORB and begins publishing messages to the queue. The Flex consumer client also connects with WebORB and subscribes to the same queue. When messages are inserted into the queue, WebORB delivers them to the Flex consumer.
To learn more about this topic before learning how the sample application works, see the following resources:
WebORB must be configured to connect the Flex clients with ActiveMQ.
In the WebORB bin folder, create an nmsprovider-activemq.config file with the following contents:
<defaultURI value="activemq:tcp://${activemqhost}:61616?connection.AsyncClose=false">
<userName value="system"/>
<passWord value="manager"/>
<maxInactivityDurationURI value="activemq:tcp://${activemqhost}:61616?wireFormat.MaxInactivityDuration=30000&connection.AsyncClose=false"/>
<openWireURI value="activemq:tcp://${activemqhost}:61616?connection.AsyncClose=false">
<param type="string" value="OpenWireTestClient"/>
<userName value="guest"/>
<passWord value="guest"/>
WebORB serves as a gateway between the NMS interfacing queue and the Flex clients. Clients use the weborb.messaging.WeborbProducer API to send messages to the queue, and they use the weborb.messaging.WeborbConsumer API to receive messages from the queue. Alternatively, client applications can use the mx.messaging.Producer and mx.messaging.Consumer classes available in the Flex SDK.
WebORB exposes queues as messaging destinations. A queue must be configured as a valid destination in the messaging-config.xml file located in the [WEBORB-INSTALL]/WEB-INF/flex directory. The queue used by the sample application is available at tcp://[YOUR_SERVER_NAME]:61616 and has the name "NMS". To configure the queue as a Flex messaging destination, add the following XML code snippet to messaging-config.xml:
<destination id="mmqpush">
<destinationName>queue://NMS</destinationName> <messageFactory>Weborb.Messaging.PubSub.NMS.DefaultMessageFactory</messageFactory>
<channel ref="my-polling-amf"/>
The configuration node above registers the
mmqpush messaging destination. The destination is mapped to the same ActiveMQ queue used by the producer and consumer clients. The node includes additional properties for configuring the queue. The destination is exposed over the
my-polling-amf channel, which means the Flex clients will communicate with the destination using HTTP polling. Alternatively, the destination could be configured to use the RTMP channel.
Apache ActiveMQ also supports topics apart from plain queues; you can use, for example,
topic://NMS in the
<destinationName> element. For more information, see Apache ActiveMQ - Configuring NMS and Apache ActiveMQ - Examples.
The sample Flex application for this article acts as both producer and consumer. It performs three major tasks:
- In
pingWeborb()it verifies that the server is up and running.
- In
connectAsConsumer()it creates the WeborbConsumer object.
- In
connectAsProducer()it creates the WeborbProducer object.
The first step is to ensure the WebORB server is up and running. The application's
creationComplete event invokes
onCreationComplete(), which in turn calls
pingWebOrb() . Once the server has been pinged, the application calls
connectAsConsumer() as well as
connectAsProducer() to create the respective WebORB objects. This approach of waking up the WebORB server is better suited for RTMP-based communication, in which you establish a dedicated connection with the server, than the polling method.
Here is the relevant code from ProducerTest.mxml:
public function onCreationComplete(event:FlexEvent):void {
private function pingWeborb():void {
var ro:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject("GenericDestination");
ro.source = "Weborb.Management.ManagementService";
ro.endpoint = "http://{server.name}/weborb4/weborb.aspx";
ro.ping.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, onPingResult);
ro.ping.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onPingFault);
private function onPingResult(result:ResultEvent):void {
connectAsConsumer("Flex Producer-Consumer Test");
connectAsProducer("Flex Producer-Consumer Test");
private function onPingFault(fault:FaultEvent):void {
Alert.show( "Server reported an error - " + fault.fault.faultDetail);
To create the WebORB objects, you need to import the WeborbConsumer and WeborbProducer messaging APIs. Furthermore, you have to specify the destination name defined in the messaging-config.xml file (
"mmqpush" ) and wire up the events (such as
MessageEvent.MESSAGE ,
MessageAckEvent.ACKNOWLEDGE ,
MessageFaultEvent.FAULT ) to appropriate event handlers. Once created, the
producer object is used for inserting objects into the queue and the
consumer object handles message retrieval.
Here is the relevant code from ProducerTest.mxml:
import weborb.messaging.WeborbConsumer;
import weborb.messaging.WeborbProducer;
private function connectAsProducer(subTopic:String):void{
producer = new WeborbProducer();
producer.destination = "mmqpush";
producer.subqueue = subTopic;
producer.addEventListener(MessageAckEvent.ACKNOWLEDGE, onMessageAck);
producer.addEventListener(MessageFaultEvent.FAULT, onMessageFault);
private function connectAsConsumer(subTopic:String):void{
consumer = new WeborbConsumer();
consumer.destination = "mmqpush";
consumer.subqueue = subTopic;
consumer.addEventListener(MessageEvent.MESSAGE, onMessage);
consumer.addEventListener(MessageAckEvent.ACKNOWLEDGE, onMessageAck1);
consumer.addEventListener(MessageFaultEvent.FAULT, onMessageFault1);
This application uses simple String objects as messages, which are handled in
onMessage() :
private function onMessage(event:MessageEvent):void {
consumerData += event.message.body + "\n";
If you wish to use complex data types, you may need to cast the
event.messages.body property accordingly.
sendMessage() , String objects are pushed asynchronously into the queue using the WeborbProducer
send() method:
private function sendMessage(mesgForConsumer : String) : void
if(mesgForConsumer != "" && mesgForConsumer.length > 0)
producer.send(new AsyncMessage(mesgForConsumer));
producerData += mesgForConsumer + "\n";
msgBox.text = "";
The full source code is available in the ProducerTest.zip file.
Follow the steps below to run the sample application:
- Download and start the ActiveMQ messaging provider application (activemq.bat).
Note: When you start ActiveMQ, note the "Listening for connections" pathname, which you'll need in the WebORB configuration.
- Download and install WebORB. Make the required changes in the flex\messaging-config.xml file as discussed in the WebORB configuration section above.
- After downloading the Apache.NMS and Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ DLLs, deploy them in the WebORB bin folder. Also, add the nmsprovider-activemq.config file as described in the ActiveMQ configuration section. WebORB will restart automatically.
- Open a command prompt window and change the directory to the WebORB product installation folder (for example, c:\Program Files\WebORB for .NET\184.108.40.206\).
- Run weborbee.exe. This is the WebORB Enterprise Edition standalone server. It runs as an independent process; without a license key, it will run only for 30 minutes at a time.
- Download the Flex project, and compile the Flex client. Make sure you add the following as an additional compiler argument:
-services "pathname_in_your_machine_to_the_WebORB_directory/WEB-INF/flex/weborb-services-config.xml"
Also, add WebORB.swc to the Flex project Build Path library (weborb.swc is located in [WEBORB HOME]\weborbassets\wdm).
- Run the client. Type a message in the textbox and click Send. The message will be displayed in the Producer Component text area as it is being sent to ActiveMQ. Once the message is retrieved, it will be visible within the Consumer Component text area.
Now that you have the basic application working, you may want to try different messaging providers, such as MSMQ. For MSMQ, you will have to create a nmsprovider-msmq.config file in WebORB's bin folder with the following content:
<provider assembly="Apache.NMS.MSMQ.dll" classFactory="Apache.NMS.MSMQ.ConnectionFactory"/>
Also, you will have to copy Apache.NMS.MSMQ.dll to the bin folder. Because Apache.NMS.MSMQ.dll is available only in source file format and you will have to check out the project from the repository, compile it, and generate the DLL yourself:
Version 1.2.x is compatible with Apache.NMS.dll v1.3.0, which is being referenced by WebORB.dll at present. Note that, unlike ActiveMQ, MSMQ does not support topics.

Migrating Tasks
Many SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) tasks map directly to Integration Services tasks, and migrating a package to Integration Services replaces the SQL Server 2000 version of a task with its Integration Services equivalent.
The following table lists the direct mappings between task versions.
DTS task
Integration Services task
ActiveX Script task
Bulk Insert task
Copy SQL Server Objects task
Data Mining Prediction task
Execute Package task
Execute Process task
Execute SQL task
File Transfer Protocol task
Message Queue task
Send Mail task
Transfer Databases, Transfer Error Messages, Transfer Jobs, Transfer Logins, and Transfer Master Stored Procedures tasks
Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, Transfer Database Task, Transfer Error Messages Task, Transfer Jobs Task, Transfer Logins Task, and Transfer Master Stored Procedures Task
ActiveX Script tasks that try to access the package object model by using the Parent property of the GlobalVariables collection will fail after package migration.
Some SQL Server 2000 tasks do not map directly to Integration Services tasks:
Analysis Services task (because the Integration Services Analysis Services task does not work with a SQL Server 2000 instance of Analysis Services)
Data Driven Query task
Dynamic Properties task
Transform Data task
In SQL Server, some of these tasks are replaced by non-task features. The following table lists the mapping between the SQL Server 2000 tasks and their equivalent SQL Server non-task feature.
DTS task
Integration Services feature
Dynamic Properties
Configurations and property expressions. For more information, see Creating Package Configurations.
Transform Data
Data Driven Query
Consider the Slowly Changing Dimension Transformation, the Conditional Split Transformation, and the OLE DB Command Transformation when replacing the functionality of Data Driven Query tasks.
Custom Tasks
A package that contains custom tasks is migrated to SQL Server in a special manner. A SQL Server 2000 package is created for each custom task, and an Execute DTS 2000 Package task that calls the SQL Server 2000 package is added to the migrated package. The new SQL Server 2000 packages, called intermediate packages, are embedded within the migrated package and are not saved separately. For example, a SQL Server 2000 package with three custom tasks becomes a SQL Server package that contains three Execute DTS 2000 Package tasks, where each task points to an embedded SQL Server 2000 package that encapsulates a custom task.
Data Pump Tasks
Three SQL Server 2000 tasks — Data Driven Query, Transform Data, and ParallelDataPump — are based on the SQL Server 2000 DTS data pump. With the exception of simple data transformation tasks, these tasks are migrated in the same way as custom tasks. The Package Migration Wizard creates a new SQL Server 2000 package for each task, and adds an Execute DTS 2000 Package task for each data pump task to the new package.
Dynamic Properties Task
Dynamic Properties tasks cannot be migrated to SQL Server. The Package Migration Wizard warns you if you try to migrate a package with a Dynamic Properties task. If you choose to migrate the package, the Dynamic Properties task is replaced by a placeholder task in the migrated package. The placeholder task is a Script task that lists the property-value pairs from the Dynamic Properties task that you may want to convert to script in the Script task. This information is written to the Script task in the form of comments in the script.
In SQL Server, configurations replace and enhance the functionality available in the Dynamic Properties task. For more information, see Creating Package Configurations.

Christina Jensen married, graduated from a Portland alternative high school, attended college, dropped out when her husband got home from Iraq, and finally this spring, at age 31, returned to Portland State University to complete her degree in social work.
Like Jensen, a mother of three, a growing share of Oregon students are taking longer, more complicated paths to a college degree.
College is tougher when juggling marriage, children, work and other life events, says Wilkins O'Riley Zinn, an education professor at Southern Oregon University in Ashland.
"A sick child trumps a test sometimes," says Zinn, who earned her degrees later in life.
On some of Oregon's seven public universities, only a minority of students entered the university right out of high school and graduated four years later.
This year 18,896 graduated from state universities, and about 10,600 will participate in commencement this weekend.
Using age as a measure, about 38 percent of undergraduates are non-traditional. The proportion age 25 or older: 21 percent at the University of Oregon; 27 percent at Oregon State University; 60 percent at PSU; and 68 percent at Eastern Oregon University.
Non-traditional students look even higher by another measure -- transfers into the school they are graduating from. For example, one-third of graduates at the University of Oregon and two-thirds at Portland State are transfers. Nearly a fourth of Western Oregon University's graduates are married, and eight married couples will graduate Saturday.
Angelo Meaderds, 49, of La Grande, a counselor for the Oregon Youth Authority, also will graduate Saturday from Eastern Oregon University with a liberal studies degree to make good on a promise to his six children. He told them when one graduated from college, he would return to Eastern. He left it in 1986 after more than three years of classes. One son graduated last year, so the father enrolled at Eastern along with three of his children.
"It feels pretty good," Meaderds says.
Probably the most non-traditional graduate this year will be Granville "Leo" Plass, a 99-year-old Redmond man who left Eastern Oregon University in 1932 about a semester shy of his teaching degree for a career in logging and construction. He'll pick up his associate's degree Saturday.
The Last Mile
PSU launched The Last Mile this school year to find 350 students who quit since 2005 just a few credits shy of graduating. Volunteers found 250 of them, most within 15 credits of graduating. Some were only one credit short.
More than 100 of them graduate this year, including Jensen. Her journey began at Mount Hood Community College. She transferred to PSU and in 2007 she participated in the June commencement -- with plans to earn her final 12 credits that summer.
But her husband was back from Iraq and out of work, and that turmoil forced her to take a break.
Jensen tried to enroll at PSU in 2009 after her husband deployed again, but couldn't until she paid off a $5,500 debt. She qualified for financial aid, but couldn't collect it until she enrolled. She was stuck in a Catch 22.
Then in January a Last Mile volunteer helped her enroll for three courses, two online, to get her degree. Jensen hopes to land a social worker job with the state.
"No matter what happens in life, you can always do it if you want it," she says. "It is a feeling of accomplishment for me."
Oregon's trend to older students follows the rest of the country. The share of enrolled students 25 or older has reached 80 percent or more at some of the nation's colleges and universities. More high school graduates postpone college to earn money and more college students slow down for the same reason. The recession also drove more people back to get skills and credentials for better jobs.
Meggan McLarrin, 27, Coos Bay, will graduate with a degree in psychology from Eastern Oregon University, a decade after dropping out of Forest Grove High School.
She married, had two children, earned two associate's degrees from Southwestern Oregon Community College and enrolled in Eastern's online program. She earned her bachelor's without ever setting foot on the La Grande campus.
Not that it was easy. Three years ago, she took a final exam at Eastern's Coos Bay center while in early labor. On the eve of her wedding, she was up until 3 a.m. studying for a final.
"It doesn't matter what is going on in your life," says McLarrin, who wants to go on for a doctorate. "If you really want your degree, you'll push through for it."
The $10-an-hour blues
Aimee Axtell, 26, of Klamath Falls, went to work as an office receptionist out of high school, but she became a single mom a year later and decided she needed a degree.
"I knew I couldn't make it on $10 an hour," she says, "and I knew getting educated was the only way I was going to do any better."
She started six years ago at Rogue Community College in Grants Pass, where she lived with her mother, and will finish Saturday in Klamath Falls when she picks up bachelor's degrees in psychology and in dental hygiene from the Oregon Institute of Technology.
For two terms, she drove 200 miles roundtrip three times a week from Grants Pass to OIT. Sometimes she would study until 2 a.m. after putting her boy to bed, and then get up four hours later for another trip to Klamath Falls.
"You never know what you can do until you have to do it," says Axtell, who is now looking for a job as a dental hygienist.
Pedro Pacheco Mendoza, 25, says he simply followed his friends eight years ago to Blue Mountain Community College high school in Boardman.
"No one talked to me about college," says Mendoza, who immigrated from Mexico at age 12 and became a U.S. citizen in 2008.
He worked in food processing plants while attending Blue Mountain. He quit school at one point to help his family after their mobile home burned up. He quit again after his 1989 Nissan could no longer make the 90-mile commute to Pendleton.
He finally transferred to the University of Oregon, where he will be the first member of his family to earn a bachelor's degree. His parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews -- about 30 in all -- will be there Monday to watch him pick up his degree in family and human services.
"It has been worth it because I made my family proud, not only my family, but my community," he says. "They didn't give up on me. They saw something in me that I didn't see...It was all worth it because I'm going to be able to give back."

A time of silence
Every month for several years a small group had been meeting in Church one evening a month for about half an hour for contemplative prayer. The members may have changed over the years but the group goes onwards. It is a time of silence and the group shares that silence, we just 'are' before God, and God is in control.
Prayer has been going on faithfully in St. Andrew's for over 700 years in so many different forms, and the contemplative group has grown and developed more as praying people to become the Julian Meetings. These 'meetings' foster prayer in the Christian tradition both here and in many other countries around the world. (To find out more about the concept of Julian Meetings please click here) The Julian Meetings are a group at the heart of St Andrew's who meet on the third Monday of the month at 10am in the Church, which is open to all in the Burnham area and is ecumenical. It will last for up to one hour and will include about a half hour of silence, some teaching and conclude with coffee.
We are all unique and there must be as many different types of prayer as there are people, but sharing prayerful silence, although at times challenging, with a like minded group can be a very special experience.
Julian Meeting
The church will however remain open for private prayer and any visitors are asked to observe the information about public hygiene.
Clergy are available to speak to – but this may well involve phone calls rather than face to face conversation. This is in line with our duty of care towards you.
Our Julian Meeting has now been running for over two years and has become an established feature of our Church life.

I'm so happy you stopped by for the Ice Cream Social on National Ice Cream Day 2010! Come into the parlor....I"m flipping the sign from closed to open! I've got the sprinkles, whipped cream, and toppings ready. The ice cream scoops are warmed...now its time to make our cool treats and spend some time visiting!
I used the image above last year, but its such a sweet beautiful perfectly pink little place that I think you will be seeing it every year! I'd love to know where this place is. Anybody have a clue?
Last year I shared my love of and history with ice cream. This year I would like to share a little history OF ice cream.
Haven't you ever wondered how in the days before electricity and refrigeration they ever invented such a thing. And did they have to eat it in the winter when ice was readily available? Questions Questions.
Wikipedia answered the last question with this statement,
"ice was cut from lakes and ponds during the winter and stored in holes in the ground, or in wood-frame or brick ice houses insulated by straw." Who knew?! I've heard of ice houses but never knew where they got the ice to begin with. I still don't know how they got ice in the south. The lakes never freeze over!
It's really hard to get a straight answer on the internet on who was the first to create what we know as ice cream. The Chinese, Arabs, and Italians have all been credited with the invention. I found two different references to Italian origins and since I love Italian gelato better than any other ice cream I will give the credit to them. Nero is said to have ordered servants to fetch him ice from the mountains to make icy desserts.
And when Catherine de Medici married into French royalty in 1533 she is known to have brought with her, from Italy to France, a recipe for ice milk or maybe it was fruit ice. Depends on the source! Her dress kind of looks like an ice cream cone don't you think?
King Charles of England was served a cool creamy dessert on a visit to France and brought it back to Britain. The first recipes for ice cream started appearing in print in the early 1700s. This 1718 cookbook Mrs. Mary Eales's Receipts, which was first published in London, contains the first printed recipe for an iced dessert based on cream.
To ice CREAM.
Here's the recipe as it appeared in the 1733 edition:
Take Tin Ice-Pots, fill them with any Sort of Cream you like, either plain or sweeten'd, or Fruit in it; shut your Pots very close; to six Pots you must allow eighteen or twenty Pound of Ice, breaking the Ice very small; there will be some great Pieces, which lay at the Bottom and Top: You must have a Pail, and lay some Straw at the Bottom; then lay in your Ice, and put in amongst it a Pound of Bay-Salt; set in your Pots of Cream, and lay Ice and Salt between every Pot, that they may not touch; but the Ice must lie round them on every Side; lay a good deal of Ice on the Top, cover the Pail with Straw, set it in a Cellar where no Sun or Light comes, it will be froze in four Hours, but it may stand longer; than take it out just as you use it; hold it in your Hand and it will slip out. When you wou'd freeze any Sort of Fruit, either Cherries, Rasberries, Currants, or Strawberries, fill your Tin-Pots with the Fruit, but as hollow as you can; put to them Lemmonade, made with Spring-Water and Lemmon-Juice sweeten'd; put enough in the Pots to make the Fruit hang together, and put them in Ice as you do Cream.
Kind of hard to follow, but you get the idea!
By the time Thomas Jefferson was around he had his very own ice cream recipe. How cool is this? Click on it to get a bigger picture and read the recipe. It's in the Library of Congress!
You know the old hand crank ice cream machine...a Nancy Johnson got a patent on that in 1843! Nice to know that all the great inventors weren't men :-)
And that brings us to the ice cream cone, rumored to have its beginnings at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Ice cream stands and waffle stands some how collided. Young fair goers enjoying some ice cream...
It tastes just as good in the bed of a pickup
In 1921, the Commissioner of Ellis Island issued a delicious
decree: all immigrants arriving in this country would receive a free
scoop of ice cream with their first American meal.
Soda fountains became all the rage around the country.
And Drive Ins soon followed. Here's a neat one I visited the other day in a little town called Buckley and sampled the shake of the month.
And the rest is...well...history! Now days ice cream is not just for royalty...we can have it any day of the week. So lets get right down to it! There are so many varieties of ice cream in the stores these days its mind boggling. I decided to try something different in the name of research for the Ice Cream Social. As I've gotten older, I've also gotten somewhat lactose intolerant and it turns out there are quite a few lactose free products on the market right now. Purely Decadent Mocha Almond Fudge made with Coconut Milk tastes as good as it sounds. After dished out into a bowl I don't think anyone would have a clue its dairy free.
When I think about an ice cream social, I think of a little something for everyone. So when I picked my recipes for today I wanted to cover all my bases at my house. First up is Randy's choice, Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream with requested chocolate shavings.
I used this no cook recipe from Cooking Light and it came out nice and creamy. I would cut back on the amount of vanilla if I made this again because it kind of over powers the chocolate. It will be great in a chocolate shake which Randy request from time to time!
Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream
Cooking Light, JULY 2003
- 2 cups whole milk, divided
- 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa
- 1 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated low-fat milk
- Dash of salt
Heat 1 cup whole milk in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat to 180° or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Remove from heat, and add the cocoa, stirring with a whisk until cocoa dissolves. Cool to room temperature.
Combine 1 cup whole milk, condensed milk, vanilla, evaporated milk, and salt in a blender, and process until smooth. Add cocoa mixture; blend well. Pour mixture into the freezer can of an ice-cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
So my pick was a recipe in the July issue of Southern Living. I already know that my friend Marsha picked a recipe for the social from this same issue. They all looked and sounded to yummy. The original recipe was called Peach and Toasted Pecan Ice cream. I tweaked that a little to fit what I had on hand and my sweet tooth. This turned out awesome! I'd make this again in a heartbeat.
Nectarine and Praline Pecan Ice Cream
Inspired by recipe from Southern Living, JULY 2010
Yield: Makes about 1 qt.
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon table salt
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste* (I used the insides of 1 vanilla bean.)
1 cup peeled and coarsely chopped nectarines
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1. Whisk together first 3 ingredients in a large heavy saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk and whipping cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 10 to 12 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
2. Whisk egg yolk until slightly thickened. Gradually whisk about 1 cup hot cream mixture into yolk. Add yolk mixture to remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in vanilla bean paste. Cool 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, cook nectarines and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, 4 to 5 minutes. Coarsely mash, and let cool 30 minutes. Stir nectarine mixture into cooled cream mixture.
4. Place plastic wrap directly on cream mixture, and chill 8 to 24 hours.
5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat; add pecans, brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has cooked down and thickened a bit. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. kosher salt. Cool completely (about 30 minutes).
6. Pour chilled cream mixture into freezer container of a 1 1/2-qt. electric ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. (Instructions and time may vary.) Before transferring ice cream to an airtight container for further freezing, stir in pecan mixture.
*Vanilla extract may be substituted.And last but certainly not least in my little family, Jig also LOVES ice cream. We always give him a spoonful out of our bowls on his own little plate. When I saw a recipe that a food editor friend posted on Facebook this week I knew I had to try it for my boy.
Aint Nuttin But a Houndog Frozen Treats
Doug Gruse, who writes for the Post Star in Glen Falls New York - A link to his food blog at the newspaper, Eat My Words. Thanks Doug!
32 ounces vanilla yogurt
1 banana
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
Peel the banana and mash, then add all the ingredients to a blender. Mix thoroughly until you get the consistency of a smoothie. Pour into mini cupcake wrappers and freeze.
Jigs thinks they're great!
I have to interject a sad story here...I had a casualty while preparing for the social. At some point in the past year I found the cutest little ice cream dish that I knew would be perfect for my ice cream social. It was perched on the highest shelf in my kitchen...and for those who don't know, I'm not even 5'1, so I have trouble.... It came tumbling down along with another little dish and shattered all over the kitchen. Its still too cute, even broken to not show what remains of it! Maybe I'll find another...
So now for the grand finale! At least year's social, my friend Barb made individual baked alaskas that had me itching to try them. And at around the same time, Food Network Magazine featured on its cover this beautiful baked Alaska
that I dogeared and have gone back to ogle over many times in the last year, so I knew I had to give it a shot. Mine isn't nearly so perfect but I was really happy with how it turned out!
Baked Alaska
Recipe courtesy Food Network Magazine
For the Ice Cream Cake:
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
- 1 pint raspberry, passion fruit or other sorbet, softened(I used Pomegranate flavored)
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened (I used honey flavored)
- 1 quart chocolate ice cream, softened(I used Green Tea Flavored)
- 1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs (about 17 crushed wafers) (I used Oreos)
- 1 loaf pound cake( I used brownies
For the Meringue:
- 1 cup egg whites (about 6 large), at room temperature
- Pinch of cream of tartar
- 1 cup sugar
Make the ice cream cake: Brush a 3-quart metal bowl with vegetable oil; line with plastic wrap. Fill the bowl with scoops of the sorbet, vanilla ice cream and half of the chocolate ice cream, alternating small and large scoops to create a mosaic of colors and shapes. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the ice cream; press down to close the gaps between scoops and even out the surface. Remove the plastic wrap, sprinkle the ice cream with the wafer crumbs and re-cover with the plastic wrap, pressing gently. Freeze until set, about 30 minutes.
Remove the wrap and spread the remaining chocolate ice cream in an even layer on top of the crumbs. Cut the pound cake into 1/2-inch-thick slices; completely cover the ice cream with the slices, trimming as needed (you'll use about two-thirds of the cake). Cover with fresh plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
Make the meringue: Whip the egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar on high speed until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks.
Remove the top layer of plastic wrap, then invert the cake onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. (If necessary, let the cake stand overturned until it slips out.) Remove the rest of the plastic wrap and cover the ice cream completely with the meringue, making the dome-shaped top slightly thicker than the sides. Form swirly peaks in the meringue using the back of a spoon. Freeze for at least 3 more hours.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. (I put it on broil) Bake the cake until the meringue peaks are golden, about 4 minutes, or brown the meringue with a blowtorch. Let the cake soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Freeze any leftovers.
Here are the ice creams I used for the inside! The Green Tea is my favorite of the bunch.
And for the Oreo crumbs...how fitting!
Please have a slice! I have enough to feed a huge crowd :-)
I'm so happy you joined me for the social. Hope you had fun! If you've got a link to share please add it below! The party is going on all weekend so don't worry if your a little late. Even if its days after the party..join up anyways if you've got something to shared. Thanks so much for stopping by :-)
I''m joining in over at Bargain Hunting With Laurie's My Favorite Things because Ice Cream is certainly one of them!

Try these, they might work for you... one of the very few that work for me:
I like 'em. Maybe I can find them somewhere locally to try them on first. Kind of pricey, though. It's the kind of thing I may put on my b-day wish list.
@Alan - These are the RayBan sunglasses I own. Made in Italy and really comfortable. I got them new on Style Forum for like $40 and put prescription lenses in them.
They're a bit cheaper on Amazon... I got them for like $104 when I got mine, but now they're higher:
I need to get mine fixed
Oh man it was a busy couple weeks for me.

Then some eBay purchases:

Also a couple knit ties, and the colourful ted baker JC sold me which im excited for!
Then Lands End did the rest to me, 3 pairs of chinos (gray, navy, khaki), 2 button-ups, and finally the gingham shirt for $29 that was on sale and everyone bought yesterday.
Deffffff need to take it easy lol.
Oh man. Just picked up another pair of Heritage Straight Fit Chinos from LEC in Gray Stone. Couldn't pass them up for $14 and free shipping.
I restrained myself from buying a few shirts during yesterday's LEC $29 sale, so I compromised an bought this shirt instead (can't find it on the site now). I have couple others of that style and the fabric is very soft. I like the new multi-check poplin better, but I think for less than half the price this is a good alternative, and I think the poplin would be too summer-specific whereas I could wear this year round.
On my lunch break, I picked up a $200 Claiborne grey sportcoat for $15 at JC Penney. This is according to their new pricing scheme so I don't know what the actual retail was under the old system, but it's wool and it has a ticket pocket.
The only catch... I got it for a friend of mine (a 44S), but they didn't have it in my size (40R). 100% wool sportcoats for $15 don't come around very often, no matter who's making them, so I figured I would grab it and worry about the consequences later. If it doesn't fit him afterall or he tells me to butt out of his style business, I'll just return it. It was just too cheap to leave on the rack.
I haven't purchased anything since Lent started last Wednesday, but I did receive a pre-Lent online purchase in the mail this week. L.L. Bean Signature searsport flannel suit. Pretty sure I got the last one in size 36, as the 36 option disappeared completely from the site shortly after I put my order through. Still a little pricey, even with the 20% discount, but the fit is almost perfect. Hopefully my tailor can shorten the sleeves without TOO much trouble.
It's a shame I won't get a lot of opportunity to wear it. The weather is already pretty spring-like here in Colorado (40s-50s and sunny). I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a summer internship in my home state of Montana, and if it's anything like last year, I'll have until July 4th before summer starts in earnest. Perhaps I can get some use out of it then.

Broncos' Phillip Lindsay Ejected For Throwing Punches In Loose Ball Scrum
A lapse in judgment sent Phillip Lindsay to the showers early Sunday.
In the second quarter of the Denver Broncos' game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, Lindsay jumped onto the pile late after Denver quarterback Case Keenum fumbled. That act alone probably was worthy of a penalty, but what got Lindsday in trouble was what he did next.
Referees caught Lindsay actually throwing punches in the heat of the scrum. It's not totally clear whether the rookie running back was trying to punch the ball free or aiming his swings at a Ravens player, but you still can't do that. An official was standing right over Lindsay and threw the flag, which resulted in a 15-yard penalty and Lindsay's ejection.
The ejection came much to the chagrin of Broncos fans and Lindsay fantasy owners, as the 24-year-old dazzled over the first two weeks. After going undrafted out of Colorado and signing with the hometown Broncos, Lindsay racked up 102 total yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut in Week 1, then followed that up with 107 rushing yards in Week 2.
Lindsay tallied just 20 rushing yards before his ejection Sunday, though, as Denver now will have to lean more heavily on fellow rookie Royce Freeman.

Bucs confident Snider can reach base in No. 2 spot
PITTSBURGH -- Two seasons ago, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle had a hard time believing that Andrew McCutchen could lead the National League in hits (194) and convert that into only 96 RBIs.
In 2013, the Bucs gained a legitimate leadoff hitter (Starling Marte), and McCutchen, in the three-spot, enjoyed a similar season at the plate to earn NL MVP honors -- and had even 12 fewer RBIs.
Obviously, the key batting-order spot is the one between Marte and McCutchen. In 2012, the collection of Pirates No. 2 hitters posted an on-base percentage of .304; in '13, they combined to hit .262.
If Neil Walker is hitting with his familiar consistency, many foresee him as a No. 2 fixture; the spot is ideal for a switch-hitter.
For the time being however, Travis Snider is making it his home. Hurdle spoke highly of Snider's condition and friskiness all spring, and he now wants to see if he can also recapture his nose for the bases.
In occasional Minor League detours (a total of 132 games) the last three seasons, Snider had an on-base percentage of .400-plus.
"We're optimistic that the OBP will play out in the Major League level close to what it was in the Minor Leagues," Hurdle said. "He had the best spring we've seen. Moved around in the outfield and on the bases the best since we've had him.
"I liked the look of it in Spring Training. We'll see how it plays out during the season."

If Brotherhood takes over, IDF will face formidable enemy
If Brotherhood takes over, IDF will face formidable enemy
Egypt is seething and is at cross-roads as the rest of the Arab and Moslem world are looking on, waiting to see what will happen. Will a democracy emerge or will Sharia rule the people of Egypt?
During the same time period, as the recent uprising in Egypt, a UFO was seen over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and was filmed by two different witnesses. I have seen the footage and as with many of these sightings, there is no way to VET it. However, there must have been hundreds if not thousands of other people who saw it too if it was real. Pay special attention, to when there is a flash of light followed by the UFO shooting straight up into the night sky and vanishing in a twinkling of an eye. This is similar to what I saw at Boy Scout camp back in 1962.
UFO VIDEO!YouTube – Jersualem UFO 2011*WOW! Two Witnesses Record Same Event..*HD VIDEO*
Back to the mess in Egypt: A recent poll showed that Muslims around the world want Sharia law. http://www.mattwardman.com/blog/2008/02/24/sharia-law-gallup-poll-50000-across-muslim-world/
With that in mind what group do we see that may seize power? The Moslem Brother hood. These guys want Sharia law, make no mistake about it!
The Brotherhood's stated goal is to instill the Qur'an and Sunnah as the "sole reference point for … ordering the life of the Muslim family, individual, community … and state"
Of course what is dangerous about the current riots in Egypt is that Sharia law and a Moslem state will rule the day. Turkey is very close to opting for Sharia, and if so, one of the largest countries in the Middle East will have an Islamic, religious, form of government that in many ways will be similar to what we see in Iran.
I believe that the youth of Egypt and other Arab countries are not looking toward Sharia law with great expectations. They want freedom, but unfortunately there is no basis for democracy or freedom of the individual in Islam. It is a foreign concept that has no foundation in the Arab world, which is why I predict what will emerge from Egypt will be an anti-American – anti-Israel, Islamic Republic. I hope I'm wrong.
While these two events, the Egyptian riots and the Temple Mount UFO might seem unrelated there are, in fact, part of the prophetic, political, and supernatural mix that we see in these last days. In closing todays' post. The third book the Nephilim Trilogy had this cover originally… it may speak of what we are going to see in the future… Everything is connected!
