Happy Memorial Day everyone! We hope that you were able to spend time with friends and family this weekend, but most importantly honor those who have given their lives in service to our country. Years ago we had the pleasure to visit the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. It was an extremely moving experience and we have never forgotten the quote by Abraham Lincoln inscribed on the wall.
“The solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom” – quotation from Abraham Lincoln’s Letter to Mrs. Bixby.
This week we are sharing an All-American fan favorite with you — Seagram’s Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade. It can easily be your go-to drink of the summer. One of the great things about this drink, other than it is delicious, is that it is great for entertaining because it is a large batch drink. We love to serve drinks to our guests made to order fresh from the shaker, but sometimes when you are entertaining it is nice to have a pitcher or dispenser sitting out so guests can help themselves to seconds and thirds and fourths….
To make this drink you need three simple ingredients. Remember? Easy. Tasty. Fresh. The ingredients are Seagram’s Sweet Tea Vodka, lemonade and agave nectar. We used Minute Maid Lite Lemonade to keep the calorie count down, and we like Monin Agave Nectar. It is nice to have some lemon wedges and slices for garnish. Now just remember 3 parts: 2 parts: 1/2 part. It’s so easy! Pour 3 cups of lemonade into a pitcher. Next add 2 cups of Sweet Tea Vodka, and ½ cup of agave nectar. Stir. Add lemon wedges and ice. Pour over a glass of ice and sit back on your patio and enjoy the summer! You can make larger batches, just remember 3: 2: ½ parts!
Add lemonade, sweet tea vodka, and agave nectar to a pitcher. Stir. Add lemon wedges and ice.
Pour over glass of ice and garnish with a lemon slice.
This drink is a crowd pleaser. It’s so easy to make and so easy to drink. We would love to hear if you serve this for your guests this summer.
This week’s featured drink recipe is one of our favorites and references back to one of our favorite TV shows we watched while growing up, Gilligan’s Island. Although we were not alive when it first aired, (No, we are not THAT old!) we definitely enjoyed watching reruns as kids. If you did not watch the show, let us give you a short explanation. Gilligan’s Island was a comic adventure of seven castaways as they attempted to survive on an island on which they had been shipwrecked. Most episodes revolved around the quirky castaways’ conflicts and their unsuccessful attempts to be rescued from the island. Two of the characters of the show were Mary Ann and Ginger. Mary Ann was the sweet girl next door who was always baking pies for the other castaways. Ginger was a movie star who somehow had brought all of her glittery dresses and makeup with her on what was to be a short 3 hour yacht cruise. The question, “Mary Ann or Ginger?” has persisted among men as to which they prefer long after the series ended.
This drink certainly fits our 3 criteria Easy. Tasty. Fresh. It has three simple ingredients: Templeton Rye Whiskey, Ginger Beer (hence the name Mary Ann or Ginger?) and a fresh lime slice. To create this refreshing drink simply combine 1.5 ounces of Templeton Rye Whiskey over ice in a rocks glass. Top off with ginger beer. Add ice and garnish with a fresh lime slice. It is delish!
We can already hear some of you now, “Whoa! I don’t like whiskey,” or, “Beer? I don’t want to mix whiskey and beer.” Hear us out. First of all, Templeton Rye Whiskey doesn’t have the harsh whiskey taste that some of you may have experienced in the past. It is a sweeter, smoother taste. If Rhonda can drink it and like it, then it definitely is not too harsh. The Ginger Beer is not “beer”. It is labeled as a non-alcoholic soda, so you don’t need to worry that you are mixing a Bud Light and whiskey.
Craig prefers to make this drink with ginger ale. Rhonda prefers Goslings Ginger Beer. Potato. Pototo. The ginger beer has only 190 calories per can, and we don’t use a whole can for a serving. However, if you prefer a drink that is lighter on calories, Canada Dry Ginger Ale has 110 calories per serving (use half of a serving) or better yet, use diet Ginger Ale.
This drink is great to make when you want something easy and tasty. We hope you enjoy this drink as much as we do.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms! We celebrated Mother’s Day by running in our first ever half-marathon. Craig and I woke up at 5:00 am to drive to Ft. Worth for the run. Craig could have finished with a much faster time, but he stayed with me the whole way. What a guy! We made a special Mother’s Day dinner at our house with steaks and sides. Of course we had to have a special dessert, so I made the pie we told you to save room for last week.
I love to make desserts, and as a matter of fact I think that was one of the main reasons Craig asked me to marry him. One of my favorite summertime desserts is a recipe that I found in a cookbook that was given to us as a wedding gift. The recipe is from a cookbook named, For Goodness Taste by the Junior League of Rochester and this cookbook has some of the best recipes ever! This pie recipe is so easy. It is a crowd pleaser with friends and family.
Do you remember the criteria I listed last week for our recipes? Easy. Tasty. Fresh. Well this recipe doesn’t really have super fresh ingredients, but it is definitely easy and tasty. The most difficult part of this recipe for me is that you do need to plan ahead. You cannot decide to serve this for dessert for guests that are arriving in 30 minutes. The ingredients that you need are peanut butter, light corn syrup, rice crispy cereal, 2 pints of vanilla ice cream, sugar, cocoa, cream, margarine, vanilla and Café Borghetti Espresso Liqueur.
You probably are not familiar with the last ingredient, so let us tell you a little bit about it. Café Borghetti is an Italian coffee liquor that is made from real espresso coffee that is a blend of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans. When you unscrew the lid, the aroma makes you feel like you are in a little Italian coffee house in the middle of Milan. You can find Café Borghetti Espresso Liqueur at some liquor stores like Goody Goody or Total Wine. We have other great recipes that use Café Borghetti that we will share with you in future posts.
First, get the ice cream out of the freezer while you are making the crust. It is easier to work with if it is softened. Since we live in Texas, I always use Blue Bell Natural Vanilla Bean. (Yes, it was devastating to us Texans when Blue Bell took a hiatus from production last year. We are glad Blue Bell is back!) Next you will make the crust. Mix ½ cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup light corn syrup, and 2 ¼ cups of rice crispies together.
Place the mixture in a pie pan sprayed with cooking spray. I use a sheet of wax paper to help me form the crust into the pan.
Spoon a layer of ice cream into the crust, and even it out. Then place into the freezer.
Next, you will make the fudge sauce. In a sauce pan heat the sugar, cocoa, cream and margarine. Stir constantly until boiling. Add in 3 oz. of Café Borghetti and leave on heat for about 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Cool the fudge sauce. Pour half of the sauce over the ice cream. Place back in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
Soften remaining ice cream and spread over frozen pie. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Freeze until firm.
Remove from freezer approximately 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy! There are several variations you can do with this recipe. If you don’t like the coffee flavor of Café Borghetti, you can leave it out. You can add mini chocolate chips to the crust, or use a different flavor of ice cream.
Mix peanut butter and corn syrup until blended. Add rice crispies and stir until coated.
Press into bottom and sides of 9-inch pie pan.
Top with 1 pint ice cream which has been softened slightly. Freeze until firm.
In saucepan, heat sugar, cocoa, cream and margarine, stirring constantly until boiling. Add Café Borghetti and remain on heat for 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool.
Pour half of sauce over ice cream. Freeze for about 20 minutes.
Soften remaining ice cream and spread over frozen pie. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Freeze until firm, approximately 3 hours.
Remove from freezer about 10 minutes prior to serving.
We hope you enjoyed the PBIF Pie as much as our family does. If you make it, we would love to hear about it – especially if you added your own variation.
Thank you to everyone for all the support you have shown regarding our blog. Starting something like this is kind of nerve racking, but what the heck. You only live once. Right?
We were originally going to post a recipe about a fabulous ice cream pie that Rhonda wanted to make this weekend, but reality kicked in and we had to make dinner for our family. Go figure. As we were preparing dinner, we realized that the grilled chicken recipe we were making fit the criteria for our blog. Easy. Tasty. Fresh! You will have save room for pie in the next post!
Years ago before Pinterest, Rhonda actually had to rip recipes out of magazines or print them off the computer as she found them. This is a recipe that we adapted from either Southern Living Magazine or Better Homes and Gardens years ago.
First you make the marinade. The marinade contains ½ cup of blue agave tequila. We prefer to use Corralejo Reposado. It is important to choose good quality tequila because you are putting it in the marinade for the flavor. We are planning a post soon to explain the differences in tequila quality.
Next the recipe calls for you to add in ½ cup of untoasted walnut oil. However, we can never find untoasted walnut oil. See criteria #1 above. Rhonda is a busy mom with a full-time career. If an ingredient is too far off her little quadrant of stores that she visits most, then she will not buy it. We can find roasted walnut oil. It is in our Kroger in the cooking oils section. It is usually on the top shelf. Oddly enough, we have also seen the roasted walnut oil at Home Goods in the kitchen and food section. If you can’t find the walnut oil, you can use regular cooking oil. We have substituted cooking oil before when we were in a pinch. It just doesn’t add any flavor.
Then you will add ½ honey, ¼ fresh squeezed lime juice and 1 tsp of finely shredded peel, 1 tsp kosher salt. Mix all of this together.
Place your chicken breasts into a gallon Ziploc bag. Rhonda always puts the bag in a bowl or pan before placing in the fridge to prevent accidents. The recipe originally calls for 12 chicken drumsticks instead of chicken breasts. We have made the drumsticks and they are tasty. Our family prefers white meat over dark meat, so we only make the drumsticks occasionally. Leave the chicken to marinate for at least 4 hours.
When you are ready to grill, place the chicken on a medium heat grill. Cook indirectly to the flame and turning once half-way.
Garnish with fresh cilantro. Yummo! The chicken is juicy with a sweet and tangy flavor. We would love to hear from you if the Corralejo Honey Lime Chicken makes it to your table this summer!
For marinade, in bowl whisk together tequila and oil. Whisk in honey, lime juice, peel and salt. Cover and refrigerate marinade for up to 2 days.
Place chicken in self-sealing plastic bag in shallow dish. Add marinade; seal. Refrigerate 4-8 hours turning occasionally. Drain and discard marinade.
Place chicken on medium heat grill. Adjust for indirect cooking. Turning breast over once half-way through cooking.

I do this. You do this. Sometimes we all do this.
Women do this more. Junior employees definitely do. Bosses tend to steer away from it, but even they commit this bad habit.
I’m talking about the human tic that causes us to apologize.
When I’m less confident, I apologize. When I have to ask a tough question, I sometimes apologize. When I’m about to make a pitch to someone, I apologize.
And every time I do, I cringe afterward. How much better would all of that have sounded if I’d just cut out the extraneous words before?
What am I apologizing for? To be honest, for a variety of reasons, none of which sound very good. To soften the impact? To deflect criticism before it’s uttered? To appear more likable?
I talked about this bad habit with Charlie Rose, whose life’s work is all about asking people the tough, probing questions. He’s been able to wriggle information out of people that nobody else has. And he’s respected for it.
Likewise, a few years ago, I was at a BuildOn dinner where Lee Cooperman, the famed hedge fund billionaire, was giving the keynote. He said to all the kids gathered at the dinner something to the effect of his success is something they should all try to emulate.
At first, you might be turned off by the arrogance he managed to muster saying that. But he quickly added, “I’ll tell you why,” and then he rattled off his accomplishments. Son of immigrants. Bronx kid. First in his family to go to college. Worked his way up the Goldman Sachs chain. Left to start his own firm. All self-made. By the end, the kids were applauding.
I’ll tell you I’m great, and then I’ll tell you why and you decide.
So if you ever catch yourself wanting to apologize first, think of Cooperman or Rose. Just ask the question or make the statement, and then back it up. Take “I’m sorry” out of the rotation. Make no apologies and you’ll soon get the respect you deserve.

Hi, I have just had a miscarriage. I was about 7 weeks pregnant, first time pregnant aged 47.
Very upset at the moment. I bled heavily with the miscarriage, was scary, thought I might need to go to hospital, but managed not to.
Was a huge shock to find out that I was pregnant after many years of trying. Neither me nor my husband thought it could happen.
It was a "blighted ovum" where the fetus doesn't develop, and this showed on a scan at about 6 weeks. I was told I would miscarry, and just had to go home and wait for it to happen.
Very upsetting, cried all that day, don't feel many people understand, only someone who has been through it.
People mean well, but often say insensitive things, It makes me angry.
My sympathy goes out to all women in a similar situation, it's hard to cope with.
Here I am...Last week I heard some of the most joyous words of my life, "Congratulations, you are expecting".
This is my 3rd pregnancy. My other two were healthy children with no undue complications, other than my ex-husband and I had not planned them, they just happened and are very much loved. Then the divorce came a short time after my daughter was born & I thought that that would be the most painful day of my life. I turned out to be all right though & found a wonderful man who loves me & both of my children. We have been together for three years & recently engaged. Then on our anniversary this year, he whispered in my ear, "Let's just make a baby", something we have been discussing for the last year. We were not using anything but condoms at the time, so I agreed.
Then last week I heard those joyous words. The same week I found out I am going to have a baby, my best friend delivers her first. I was happy when I heard that, I made a joke about it.
Monday morning as I got up for work, I noticed I was spotting, so I immediately called the midwives I have used for the past 7 years. The first one I talked to just told me, "It is very early in your pregnancy. If you are going to lose the pregnancy, there is nothing we can do. Come in for an HcG test twice this week".
I went back to bed and stopped bleeding & went in for a blood test Tuesday. I stopped bleeding on Monday night. Than again on Wednesday afternoon, I was bleeding again. So I called my midwives once more. I got told the same thing. I stopped bleeding a few hours later. I never got any advice on what to do. I never experienced anything like this with my other pregnancies. Today when I started bleeding, I called another clinic, begging for an appointment. They set me up quickly with their best OB.
She did everything she could to make sure I was OK. She called the clinic where I went before and asked about my HcG levels & when she was told how low they were, she asked why I hadn't been notified. She did a TVUS on the spot & had to break the bad news to me, there was no heartbeat. She vows to stick through this with me, even though she has never met me before today. Even promising me that she will give it her all to see me through my next healthy pregnancy.
I am just going through the most difficult part right now...I knew I was pregnant for a little over a week & now that baby is gone. I already fell in love with that baby & everything it could have been. Hopefully, the grief process moves quickly & I will be able to enjoy life again & look forward to conceiving again. Right now I feel as if I am on auto-pilot for my fiancee and children.
The hardest part? Being happy for my best friend & her newborn. With all the trouble I have been having this week, I have not made it over to see her newborn & now I don't think I will be able to, for at least another few weeks.
I had a scan today, I knew something was wrong. I had been bed ridden since getting a positive result. I was constantly sick, losing weight and always sleeping. The doctor says, "This is normal". I knew it wasn't, something was wrong!
If I had been bleeding and passed the baby out it would of been easier to accept but seeing a baby on a scan and being told the baby has been dead for 3 and a half weeks breaks my heart. Tomorrow I have to have it removed, I was only 10 weeks pregnant. I feel alone, depressed and suicidal. It's like I suffered all these weeks for nothing. I'm hurting beyond belief, I don't even like being me no more!
I first found out I was pregnant on labor day. I saw my little angel at 4, 6, and 8 weeks through an ultrasound. I graduated from my RE back to my obgyn. I found out on October 27th that my little angel stopped developing around 9 weeks. I am heartbroken, devastated, and lost of what to do next. My little angel will always be in our hearts since we did not know if it was a boy or girl we named our angel Levi Diane.

it was a "blighted ovum" where the fetus doesn't develop, and this showed on a scan at about 6 weeks. i was told i would miscarry, and just had to go home and wait for it to happen.
very upsetting, cried all that day, don't feel many people understand, only someone who has been through it.
people mean well, but often say insensitive things, it makes me angry.
my sympathy goes out to all women in a similar situation, it's hard to cope with.
here i am...last week i heard some of the most joyous words of my life, "congratulations, you are expecting".
this is my 3rd pregnancy. my other two were healthy children with no undue complications, other than my ex-husband and i had not planned them, they just happened and are very much loved. then the divorce came a short time after my daughter was born & i thought that that would be the most painful day of my life. i turned out to be all right though & found a wonderful man who loves me & both of my children. we have been together for three years & recently engaged. then on our anniversary this year, he whispered in my ear, "let's just make a baby", something we have been discussing for the last year. we were not using anything but condoms at the time, so i agreed.
then last week i heard those joyous words. the same week i found out i am going to have a baby, my best friend delivers her first. i was happy when i heard that, i made a joke about it.
monday morning as i got up for work, i noticed i was spotting, so i immediately called the midwives i have used for the past 7 years. the first one i talked to just told me, "it is very early in your pregnancy. if you are going to lose the pregnancy, there is nothing we can do. come in for an hcg test twice this week".
i went back to bed and stopped bleeding & went in for a blood test tuesday. i stopped bleeding on monday night. than again on wednesday afternoon, i was bleeding again. so i called my midwives once more. i got told the same thing. i stopped bleeding a few hours later. i never got any advice on what to do. i never experienced anything like this with my other pregnancies. today when i started bleeding, i called another clinic, begging for an appointment. they set me up quickly with their best ob.
she did everything she could to make sure i was ok. she called the clinic where i went before and asked about my hcg levels & when she was told how low they were, she asked why i hadn't been notified. she did a tvus on the spot & had to break the bad news to me, there was no heartbeat. she vows to stick through this with me, even though she has never met me before today. even promising me that she will give it her all to see me through my next healthy pregnancy.
i am just going through the most difficult part right now...i knew i was pregnant for a little over a week & now that baby is gone. i already fell in love with that baby & everything it could have been. hopefully, the grief process moves quickly & i will be able to enjoy life again & look forward to conceiving again. right now i feel as if i am on auto-pilot for my fiancee and children.
the hardest part? being happy for my best friend & her newborn. with all the trouble i have been having this week, i have not made it over to see her newborn & now i don't think i will be able to, for at least another few weeks.
i had a scan today, i knew something was wrong. i had been bed ridden since getting a positive result. i was constantly sick, losing weight and always sleeping. the doctor says, "this is normal". i knew it wasn't, something was wrong!
if i had been bleeding and passed the baby out it would of been easier to accept but seeing a baby on a scan and being told the baby has been dead for 3 and a half weeks breaks my heart. tomorrow i have to have it removed, i was only 10 weeks pregnant. i feel alone, depressed and suicidal. it's like i suffered all these weeks for nothing. i'm hurting beyond belief, i don't even like being me no more!
i first found out i was pregnant on labor day. i saw my little angel at 4, 6, and 8 weeks through an ultrasound. i graduated from my re back to my obgyn. i found out on october 27th that my little angel stopped developing around 9 weeks. i am heartbroken, devastated, and lost of what to do next. my little angel will always be in our hearts since we did not know if it was a boy or girl we named our angel levi diane.

Hey friends! What’s going on! I just got back from Anime Weekend Atlanta a.k.a. AWA a couple days ago! I’m going to be getting my recaps out sooner rather than later after these conventions, probably within a week or two after! So let’s get going!
On Sunday, I finally got a chance to do a formal shoot with Narrendor. We decided to run over to The Goat Farm super early on Sunday to do a shoot of her Anders from Dragon Age! It’s a spectacular location, and you should definitely check it out. Look out on my instagram for photos to pop up.
Don’t forget to hit the gallery below!
We met Megan at Orlando Anime Day when Elysia took her photo in her Asami from Legend of Korra! Sometime after, Megan approached me about doing a Sailor shoot with a catch: we were going to need a helicopter. My initial reaction was “What?” Read more.
Hey Friends! We’re featuring a local small business today: Tea and Tea! We had the pleasure of meeting Hansen at an Orlando Foodies meetup the other week at Naru Sushi (blog soon!). We were talking about our businesses when he invited us to check out his store and try some tea! Let’s get into it!
We decided to visit Friday morning, since we knew Hansen would be there! Located in Winter Park Village, it’s a cozy and comfortable spot to hang out and enjoy a nice warm cup of tea. The Regal Movie Theater is right across the street, so you can come by and enjoy a cup before or after a movie! Read more!
They say prints are dead; it’s all about digital. However, the other day I heard that Polaroid had come out with a brand new camera. No screen. No editing tools. No autofocus. Just a printer that prints with no ink. It’s completely contrary to the current line of cameras: DSLR, compact, phone. And it’s awesome. Photos have taken an ethereal form more recently; they’re taken, posted, and forgotten in a memory card or hard drive. Polaroid’s move is bold and refreshing. Prints are culmination of everything photography: a moment captured and presented in a physical form. In this blog, I’m going to tell you while digital images are great, prints are things you’ll treasure forever.

The Iowa Utilities Board recently released an “Informational Guide for On-Site Generation”, to assist consumers with evaluating investments in on-site electricity generation such as wind, solar, biomass or other technologies. The guide provides unbiased information to residential and small business customers, and walks them through the issues they should consider when evaluating on-site electricity generation.
Municipal utilities are encouraged to provide the guide to customers who are interested in installing on-site generation. A copy of the guide can be found here.
The guide prompts consumers to consider their energy-related goals, legal requirements, and insurance issues before installing on-site generation. The guide provides consumers with a list of information to gather and questions to ask during the process.
The guide was developed as part of the IUB’s notice of inquiry on distributed generation (Docket NOI-2014-0001), through input from stakeholders. IAMU participated in an October 2014 workshop on the guide and also provided written comments.
The IUB initiated the NOI on distributed generation in January 2014 to gather information related to policy and technical issues associated with distributed generation in Iowa, including net metering, interconnection, consumer protection and safety. IAMU has provided written responses on a wide range of topics. In a September 19th order, the IUB stated it would not seek jurisdiction to extend net metering policies or interconnection standards found 199 Iowa Administrative Code Chapter 45 to municipal utilities. However it encouraged municipal utilities to adopt net metering policies and the interconnection standards.
IAMU encourages all municipal electric utilities to have policies in place for the interconnection and metering of customer-owned generation. IAMU has resources to assist utilities in evaluating and adopting policies. For more information, please contact Joel Logan: jlogan@iamu.org, (515) 289-1999.

American automobile giant General Motors Co brought a lot of cheer to its investors as it posted a fourth-quarter profit that beat Wall Street estimates comfortably. Needless to say, the stock prices rose following the announcement. According to GM, the company’s outstanding performance has much to do with the sales of high mark up products like small-sized SUVs and pick-up trucks in the United States. In addition to that, the extensive cost-cutting measures instituted by GM seems to have borne fruits as well.
GM is America’s biggest carmaker, and although it has a footprint all over the world, it is from its operations in North America that it generated the lion’s share of its sales. Although overall unit sales dropped, the sales of high margin offerings made up for it. Following the announcement, the shares of the company rose by 1.4%.
Some of the cost-cutting measures instituted by the company has been controversial. GM has already started with the job cuts, and back in November, it had announced that around 5 plants would not be allocated anything new. Those plants were engaged in producing sedans, which have proven to be a drag on the company’s bottom line in recent years. The announcement drew a lot of ire and earned GM the wrath of current President Donald Trump as well. This past Monday, the company announced that around 4000 salaried employees were going to be laid off. However, the chief executive Mary Barra had stated that the cost-cutting measures are necessary if the company has to be financially stable in the long term.
Despite the profits in the fourth quarter, there is something that must bug the management at GM, and that is the company’s poor performances in key markets like China and South America. The sales in those geographies did not make a difference in the bottom line, and it was only because of sales in the US that GM was able to turn a profit. Dhivya Suryadevara, the Chief Financial Officer at GM, spoke to reporters yesterday and stated, “Our outlook for China overall is for the auto industry to be flat year over year. If you take a look at some of these economic indicators coming out of China, there are early signs of stabilization.” According to analysts, the company’s struggle China could have long term impact on the profit margins and if the figures in the country slump further, then GM could be in trouble.

Channel Seven today announced international singer and performer Mel B – aka Scary Spice – will join the judging panel of The X Factor in 2011.
She will bring her unique persona to the desk, sitting alongside Guy Sebastian and Ronan Keating, as judge and mentor to a new round of singing hopefuls.
Mel B knows a thing or two about the music industry. As part of the world conquering Spice Girls, Mel B has sold over 55 million records worldwide.
The Spice Girls became the fastest selling British band since the Beatles when they released their debut album, ‘Spice’ – which remains the best-selling album by a female group in history.
Since then, Mel B has had a successful solo career releasing three albums, and has moved into the television world, appearing on the US Dancing With The Stars, and last year, launching her own reality show, Mel B: It’s A Scary World.
Mel B was a guest mentor on last year’s series of The X Factor, and is excited to be returning to Australia for a permanent role at the judge’s desk. "I'm thrilled to be a part of The X Factor Australia,” she said today.
The incredible and enduring careers of Mel B, Ronan and Guy will help guide the 2011 budding stars of The X Factor, as they battle it out for a recording contract with Sony Music Australia.
In a change to the rules, this year The X Factor is open to singers 14 years and above – either solo performers or groups. Once through the final audition process, the four judges take on mentoring roles, as the performers are split into categories – Boys under 25, Girls under 25, the over 25s and the Groups.
Since its first UK series in 2004, The X Factor has established itself as the world’s leading singing talent search – successfully launching into over 20 territories, including Sweden, Russia, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Germany and is about to launch in the USA.
The final and fourth judge on The X Factor will be revealed in the coming weeks. The X Factor is a Fremantle production for Channel Seven. For more information on the show, click here.

I’m a week behind in my listening assignment. Ghost from 7/30/99 hitting the spot. That style is my personal favorite sounding phish. Like floating on the clouds or pilled out on the couch with a bit of cough syrup as a chaser.
You misunderstand my point GC. I probably misunderstand yours. No worries. These are not the droids you are looking for. We can move along.
Voopa! Thankie, will look into that. My friend Marco works there too. I once logged some freelance hours listening to music and filling out forms which described qualities of the music for the bots.
If I could log some hours and work from home it would be amazing.
Strategically did the hamburgers and hotdogs first. Lunch this week. Filets come along while we roast the brussle sprouts. Mashing potatoes. Icing the bong.
soo I need to come have BBQ with you in Austin some time. Sounds amazing.
@ScoopSumodie, thanks for the Medeski!
One of the best ways I’m keep’n New Orleans alive on the inside.
Lemon peel zest rub around the rim of the glass and toss in the peel.
Usually served neat but I’ve been chilling the rye.
I listened to that Mike’s three times today. Wow.
New thread…time for some Camden Chalkdust and 99 goodness!
This “Ghost,” particularly about 17 minutes in, always reminds me of the “Beautiful Jam” segment of the Dead’s 2-18-71 “Wharf Rat/Dark Star.” Similar vibe, same chord progression (I think, just in a different key). I’ve listened to this track on repeat many days.

Where do we begin to try to describe this restaurant? Probably the best place is first to apologize for keeping this secret to ourselves for such a long time. We have agonized over whether to publicize this jewel, and have finally decided it really is our responsibility to share this fantastic place with you.
So what makes this such a special find? After all, there are some delightful restaurants in Bratislava, and this gastronomic oasis is 140 kilometers away. Why should we encourage you to take this drive? Simply, it is a combination of the people, the food, and the service. With a little improvement in the ambience, and an upgrading of the table settings, this would be, without a doubt, a world class establishment.
As it is, there is little to criticize and everything to commend. The owners are Juraj Halmo, your host, and Marián Filo, the chef extraodinaire.
As it is, there is little to criticize and everything to commend. The owners are Juraj Halmo, your host, and Marián Filo, the chef extraodinaire. Can you imagine walking into many restaurants, anywhere in the world, and being greeted by a host who remembers you dietary requirements? This is what happened to us on a recent visit, after not having been there for probably 6 months. Another nice feature, the restaurant is in full compliance with the No Smoking rules, and the No Smoking section is the larger room!
If you choose to make the trip, and we urge that you do, you will be greeted by an extensive menu. Everything we have ordered from the menu has been wonderful. But our recommendation is simply to introduce yourselves to Juraj and ask him to choose - even when selecting wines. Juraj does not speak any English, but it quite willing to bring you some of the finest food you can imagine. If you speak German or Slovak, Marián will be happy to discuss the selections with you. The pair are well-trained in catering to guests, as Marián spent 3 years in restaurants in Germany, and Juraj's background is in the hotel and hospitality industry.
On our latest sojourn, we indulged in a six-course meal. The first course was smoked salmon with three generous servings of sauces, elegantly framed in vegetables. This was followed by a salad, one with fish, the other with chicken. Our third course was a roll; one was turkey stuffed with carrot, ham and parsley and served with a lightly smoked mustard sauce, and surrounded by rice, a salad and wonderful potatoes au gratin. For the meat-free dish, the staff presented us with a medley of vegetables including baby carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumber and potatoes au gratin in a light sauce.
Our fourth course was wild game steak topped with a tangy, red berry sauce that melted in the mouth. The steak came with an elegant presentation of fresh apple, pear, kiwi and plum and croquette potatoes. The meat-free dish was a kale roll filled with surimi, carrots, sesame and accompanied by rice.
The fifth round consisted of three large prawns and salmon, served with a heart-shaped presentation of whipped potatoes, and for the meat eaters, a beef filet at least 5 centimeters thick and rare, but which again simply melted in the mouth.
Are you still with us, or are you already full? One of us certainly was, but dessert is a house specialty, so save some space. This time It was a chocolate mousse with pineapple ice-cream and a maraschino cherry, together with fresh fruit.
All this, well served, at a gentle pace, without any feeling of delay or of being rushed. Our meal, including an excellent Hungarian red wine and coffee, cost 1,700 Sk. including tip.
So, you may be asking by now, where is this place? To get there, take the freeway towards Trenčín, get off at Piešťany and follow the signs to Topoľčany. Partizánske is about 15 kilometers north on the road to Piešťany. Once you reach the town, you will pass the bus station and the CEBO shoe factory. After going a short distance north of the bus station, look for the sign on the left and drive in through the gate. The restaurant is in front of you behind a willow tree. The drive takes about one-and-half hours from the center of Bratislava. If you do not feel like facing the drive back, the hotel in the square is adequate.

There is something different about Lakshya Sen. He has it in him extra special power which makes him a cut above the rest. By just watching him play, one can make out the difference between him and the rest.
GUWAHATI: There is something different about Lakshya Sen. He has it in him extra special power which makes him a cut above the rest. By just watching him play, one can make out the difference between him and the rest.
The talented teenager gave a glimpse of his extraordinary skills as he won two matches in a day to steer his team Airport Authority of India to the final of the team championship in the Senior Nationals here on Sunday.
He first decimated Harsheel Dani of Maharashtra in the quarterfinals and later in the day, he accounted for Andhra Pradesh's K Jagadeesh. The manner in which he won both his matches underlined the fact that he is poised for greatness in the years to come.
The 18-year-old knows he is billed as the next Super Star of Indian badminton but at the same time he is aware of the fact that he has to keep on improving all the time.
"I know people say I am a special talent and have the potential to become India's best player after Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy. It definitely gives me plenty of motivation and confidence. But at the same time it gives me pressure and burden of expectations. I am prepared to work hard and yes I want to become India's best player and hopefully world's best one day," said Lakshya.
The 2018 was perhaps the best year for this Uttarakhand lad as he notched up several major achievements including a gold medal in the Junior Asian Championship and bronze at the World Juniors in Canada. Tata Open title in Mumbai was another big title as he is graduating smoothly from juniors to seniors.
"After achieving a lot in the juniors, I now want to focus only on seniors from this year onwards. Although I can still play one more year in the juniors, my coaches and mentors have decided that I should stop playing in juniors. I have a series of international tournaments line up after this Senior Nationals and soon want to break into the world's top-50," said Lakshya, who is ranked 104 in the world.
He is targeting the next two Olympics and aiming to bring elusive medal for the country in the men's singles section.
"I know the time is too short for me to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but I will give my best shot. Ultimately I want to win lot of international tournaments and bring laurels to the nation," said Lakshya.
He gives the entire credit of his success to coaches and support staff of Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy in Bengaluru.
"They picked me early. I am there since I was ten. My family also shifted to Bengaluru now. I am lucky to have strong support at my back which helps me to concentrate solely on badminton," said the in-form shuttler, whose elder brother Chirag is also a top class player.
