There was a time when I thought no cheesecake could be better than the no-bake kind that came in a box, topped with canned cherry pie filling. This was around the same time that I turned my nose up at real whipped cream if there was no cool whip available.
I was probably around 10 years old, but I held on to those notions for a ridiculously long time, and I don't really remember the day I changed my mind, but at some point I started to appreciate real cheesecake.
It seems unlikely to say that the first time I remember tasting an utterly divine piece of cheesecake was in China, but it's true. Some friends and I had gone out for a special dinner at a very expensive (by Chinese standards) Italian restaurant with white linen tablecloths and all. After the pasta and the wine, the cheesecake inside the glass counter beckoned us with their white cream cheese fillings, crumbly cookie crusts and toppings of fruit, nuts or chocolate.
The one topped with a simple but rich ganache had my name on it, and after that slice of cheesecake, there was no going back to cheesecake from a box.
Something else there's no going back from... Pinterest! I wish I'd thought of it, because I'd be rich by now. There's so much food porn, style ideas, beautiful rooms and decorating tips, that I find myself pinning one thing after the next, not even realizing I've just spent a whole hour browsing photos and sites.
I discovered an adorable black and white polka dot umbrella, similar to this one, and wish we had enough rain here to justify buying it, but sadly we don't. I'm also convinced I need this dress, and somewhere to wear it. Or any combination of this outfit... Black and White. Polka Dots. Touches of red. I love everything about it.
This Nutella Polka Dot Cheesecake is a combination of the delicious and the adorable, not to mention the complex flavors in the crust of crushed hazelnut, cocoa and coffee which keeps it from being too girly.
Speaking of cocoa and coffee... we grilled the most delicious rib eye steak last night with a dry rub of cocoa and coffee and a few other spices, along with baked potatoes and baked crispy kale chips. The idea for the rub came to me as I was thinking up the recipe for this cheesecake, and it was one of the most flavorful and juicy steaks I've tasted. I've included the amounts of the dry rub ingredients below, although I didn't photograph the steak.
Slightly bitter and just salty enough, the crust was a wonderful contrast to the creamy filling. I love a cheesecake with chocolate or some kind of sauce on top, but it would have been a shame to cover up the pretty dots on top. I baked this in our smaller convection oven, forgetting that the close quarters in there tends to over-brown delicate baked goods, so if you like your cheesecake to have a pretty white finished look on top as I do, then bake it in a standard oven where it shouldn't brown as much as mine did, or just lay a piece of foil loosely over the top, tented slightly so that it doesn't rest on the surface of the cake. Either way, golden brown or not, it didn't affect the taste.
It's also much smaller than it looks in the photos - only 7 inches in diameter and 2 1/2 inches high - just right for about 6 servings if you don't want too much leftover.
The filling was light and fluffy, not at all heavy as some cheesecakes can be, and the polka dots so pretty and whimsical. As the adorable Zooey Deschanel has said in New Girl, I rock a lot of polka dots, and there's nothing wrong with that. :)
Coffee and Cocoa Dry Rub
printable recipe
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Nutella Polka Dot Cheesecake with a Chocolate Hazelnut Crust
printable recipe
- 3/4 cup crushed chocolate graham crackers (about 3/4 of a "sleeve")
- 1/2 cup shelled raw hazelnuts, toasted and finely crushed
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon espresso powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pound (two 8-ounce boxes) low-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup low-fat sour cream
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Nutella
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
* This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a 9 or 10-inch spring form pan for a larger/standard-sized cheesecake. Baking time may need to be increased a little.
* To toast the hazelnuts, place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes; the skins will loosen, the nuts may split a little, and they will become very fragrant.
Getting ready:
Preheat the oven to 350. Wrap a small spring form pan (7 inches in diameter, with 2 1/2 inch-high sides) with heavy foil (the foil will prevent the water from the water bath from leaking into the cake). Spray the inside bottom and sides of the pan with non-stick spray.
Prepare the crust:
In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, toasted and crushed hazelnuts, cocoa powder, sugar, espresso powder and salt. Drizzle the melted butter over the crumbs and toss with a fork to moisten. Press the crumbs into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan.
Freeze crust in the pan for 10 minutes, then bake for 10 minutes. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300.
Prepare the filling:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese for 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla, and beat for 4-5 minutes until light and smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Beat in the sour cream and heavy cream. Scrape the sides and bottom and beat for several more minutes for a very light and airy batter.
Scoop out 1/2 cup of the batter; transfer to a small bowl. Whisk the 1/2 cup of batter with the Nutella and cocoa powder until perfectly smooth. Scrape into a plastic bag, with one corner snipped off and a round tip fitted into the hole.
Take the remaining plain batter; scoop half into the pan over the crust and smooth out the top. Squeeze dollops of the Nutella batter over the first layer, randomly or in a pattern, whatever you like; use just half of the Nutella batter. Now pour the rest of the plain batter into the pan - carefully so that you don't swirl the Nutella - and smooth out the top. Squeeze the rest of the Nutella batter into dollops over the 2nd layer of batter. The dollops will settle into the batter as it bakes, so don't worry if they stick out above the surface of the cake. The pan should be full almost to the top.
Place the spring form pan into a baking dish or roasting pan. Pour boiling or very hot water into the baking dish, so that it comes halfway up the sides of the pan. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is a pale golden brown and a crust has formed on top and the cake has risen very slightly (the cake will still seem jiggly if you shake it, though). (Note, I baked mine in a convection oven, which tends to over-brown delicate baked goods due to the close quarters - a conventional oven should yield a paler crust on top, or place a piece of tented foil loosely over the top to keep it from over-browning.) After 1 hour, turn the oven off, and let the cheesecake sit in the warm oven for 1 more hour. Transfer to a wire rack on the counter, cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel, and cool for several hours. Then cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
Before serving, take a sharp knife and run it around the edges to loosen the crust from the pan. Remove the sides of the pan. Serve the cake on its base, or if you're careful, you can slide a large spatula under the crust to transfer it from the base to a serving plate.

Expect the formation of inter-sector alliances to get a boost over the next few years, says Kansas City economist Bill Helming. Like kids scrambling when the music stops in a game of musical chairs, such cooperation will help feedlots to fill pen space, and processors to maintain production volumes.
The impetus is overcapacity in both processing plants and feedyards, which is driving players in both sectors to ensure themselves of the raw supply of cattle they need in the face of a flat cattle inventory. The net effect, Helming says, will be further consolidation.
The problem for cattle-hungry feeders and processors is the overall U.S. beef cattle inventory — high-centered on the low point of the current cattle cycle — is expected to remain flat for the next 3-5 years. Exacerbating the effect are government-mandated production levels for ethanol. Not only has the demand surge for ethanol elevated the price of corn, but its inflationary effect on other costs has spurred a drive for increased production efficiency in all sectors.
John Lawrence, Iowa State University Extension economist, characterizes it this way: "The world in which we operate just changed. People developed their operational strategies based on farm bills that revolved around cheap grain. There is now competition for that corn and every producer needs to ask himself if his old strategy is appropriate for the new realities?"
Helming characterizes the ethanol juggernaut as "a demand-driven phenomenon with some permanency." He says USDA projects corn price at the farm level to be $3-$5/bu. over the next 5-7 years. Add 70¢/bu. on top of that in delivered cost to the cattle feeder, or chicken and hog producer, and the impact is heightened.
Bottom line is the ethanol-driven corn market has changed the cattle cycle, says Harlan Hughes, "Market Advisor" columnist and a ranch business-management consultant.
"There's always overcapacity in the packing industry at the low part of the cattle cycle, but this is the first time in my career that I've seen what I would call a 'broken' cattle cycle. The normal cattle-cycle dynamics aren't working and we'll sit at these lower numbers for a time yet," he says.
Just how long, he doesn't know, but says USDA doesn't expect any significant movement in numbers until 2011 or 2112.
"I think it will take the industry at least 2-3 years to adjust to the ethanol situation," Hughes says. "We need to figure out how to feed cattle on forage longer and feed on grain for a shorter period."
Helming expects the industry won't expand, and may even liquidate to some degree. With cow-calf producers, stocker operators and cattle feeders placing a higher priority on grazing for heavier in-weights, there will be less grass and native pasture available for beef cows.
"This factor alone will be responsible for beef cattle inventory numbers remaining flat at best, and increases the chances of our actually seeing a net decline over the next 3-5 years," Helming says.
And if cattle inventory numbers are flat to declining, the effects of excess feeding and processing capacity will make it even harder for feeders to fill pens, and packers to procure the numbers to keep their lines operating efficiently.
Feedyard trouble
The feeding sector, in particular, is overbuilt, Helming says. He estimates that, at best, feedlot pen utilization in the U.S. is currently 65-75%.
"With elevated inputs of energy, elevated labor costs, obviously elevated grain costs and feedstuffs prices, and underutilized capacity, there's a real onus on feedyards to become more efficient. And the difference between running a feedyard at 60-75% capacity vs. running one at 85-90% is incredibly huge," Helming says.
Compounding the feeding sector's problems is the exodus of outside money that predominantly fueled cattle feeding through the mid 1980s. That loss of outside capital has heaped more risk on feedyards, forcing them to take ownership of more cattle to maintain capacity.
"Today, for anyone serious about feeding cattle on any kind of competitive scale in terms of size — not withstanding the really small farmer-feeder operator — the customers are basically gone," Helming says.
The result is the industry can expect major and accelerated consolidation in cattle feeding in the next 5-10 years. Most at risk are the middle-sized feed yards (5,000- to 25,000-head capacity), Helming believes, which will find it difficult to compete for capital and against the efficiencies of larger feed yards (50,000 to 100,000 head, depending on their location).
Lawrence and Hughes agree feeders will particularly be under pressure in the coming years. But Lawrence sees size as less of a factor in survival.
"Smaller, efficient feedlots strategically located near sources of ethanol co-products will thrive," he says, while larger feedyards boasting a better economy of scale but located farther from co-products and other feed sources will scramble to compete.
Hughes adds, "I suspect we'll see some feeding operations selling for 50¢ on the dollar."
Feeders Hold Leverage
But as competitive as the feeding business stands to become, those that survive will hold the leverage in the industry, these experts say.
"The bargaining position of the cattle feeder has improved relative to what it used to be with the meat packer because of the packing industry's underutilized capacity," Helming says. "Packers need the cattle."
It's a situation sure to grow more critical with the recent purchase by JBS S.A., Latin America's largest beef processor, of Greeley, CO-based Swift & Co. JBS has announced its intentions to gear up production at Swift.
Meanwhile, Hughes says the cow-calf sector should find plenty of willing buyers for heavy calves.
"In light of the effects of ethanol on grain costs, the cow-calf producer will have to figure out how to produce heavier calves on grass. Rather than add more cows to the herd, I expect ranchers to keep their calves longer, and run them as yearlings for sale next summer at 850 lbs. Those cattle will then go into 100-day feeding programs at the feedlot," Hughes says.

Super-Coach Sean Walsh '89
Sean Walsh '89 has coached more than 1,000 kids, and loves doing it. by Khrista Trerotola '07
When Sean Walsh '89 steps onto the Barnstable Silver Bullets' football field, his players pay attention. Maybe it's because he's double their size and wears a red varsity jacket that could be wrapped twice around one of these 11-year-olds. But more likely it's because he always remembers their names, numbers, and positions, gives them flashy helmet stickers for good play, and makes up funny words when he's excited.
Sean's protégés in basketball and baseball also show him this kind of respect. For all these growing athletes in Barnstable, Massachusetts, a small town on Cape Cod, Sean is coach, and he will no doubt influence their lives for years to come. He has coached 58 teams and more than 1,000 kids. That's a lot of names to remember. "I don't know how I remember every kid's name," Sean says. "I'm just good at it."
By day Sean is general manager of toy company J. M. Wechter and Associates. By night and weekend he's Super-Coach, leading three teams, managing seven sports-related websites, working on various sports boards, serving as president of Barnstable High School's Athletic Hall of Fame — and being Dad to Gillian, 7, Conor, 11 (whom he also coaches), and Everett, 13, and husband to Jennifer Hannon Walsh '90.
When Pee Wee Football season ends, the Amateur Athletic Union Barnstable Mini-Red Raiders season begins for his 11- and 12-year-old basketball players; in spring and summer he coaches American Legion baseball for 15- through 19-year-olds. If that's not a super-schedule, nothing is. "I rarely sleep more than three hours a night, and I have no social life," says Sean. "But I love what I do."
In 1987, as a junior English major at IC, Sean answered an ad in the Ithaca Journal for director of a nearby little league. He has been coaching ever since, with a two-year hiatus while he earned a master's degree in English at New York University. At Ithaca, when he was not studying Shakespeare, Sean played intramural sports and ran 10 miles a day. Although he'd been an avid athlete in high school, a shoulder injury and a four-year stint in the Marine Corps Reserves, which tied up a weekend every month, kept him from playing Bombers baseball. Coaching filled his competitive sports void.
"Sean is always 100 percent focused on the kids' learning," says fellow Mini-Red Raiders coach Rob Stuart. "He has so much respect from his players that parents in town say, 'We'll call Coach Walsh if you don't behave' — and the kids listen."
"He's an awesome coach," says 11-year-old Marcus Cunningham, who has played football and basketball for Sean for five years. "He says funny things like 'How did Darth Vader get in here?' and 'Jiminy Christmas!' "
Although Sean's basketball teams have won seven postseason tournaments, and his football teams have reached the playoffs every year he's been their coach, winning isn't his main goal. He most loves having a positive effect on his players' lives and fostering a positive environment.
"I push kids to participate [in sports] in terms of constantly being active," Sean says. "You don't have to score 50 touchdowns, and I don't care what the score is. What's important is that kids are involved and not getting into trouble. There is so much bad out there in the world."
"Coach Walsh teaches us to be the best we can be," Marcus says. "He's always helping everyone make sure you try your best."
Sean tells a story about one of the best baseball players he ever coached. The youth started using drugs and eventually quit sports. A few years later, however, Sean received a letter from this former athlete, now serving in Afghanistan, thanking him for being one of the best and most positive influences of his life.
In basketball recruiting, Sean looks for underprivileged kids because he feels sports can positively direct them. "I want my athletes to leave sports as better persons," Sean says. "I want them to never quit. I want them to eliminate self-doubt."
Sean has watched his players eliminate self-doubts, go to college, get married, and have kids. He's watched some become coaches, like him. But that's not why he does it. "I told my athletes that it doesn't matter if they become a violin player, soccer player, lawyer, or milkman," says Sean. "What matters is that sports can help you become the best adult you can be by working hard, because working hard pays off."
Sean Walsh should know — he's the hardest-working superhero around.

Jill Carpenter has been the face of Sycamore softball for eight years.
A former shortstop and four-year starter at Northern Illinois University, Carpenter took over as the Spartans' varsity head coach in 2006. She also sits on board directors for the Kishwaukee Valley Storm travel team.
Yet Carpenter still is sometimes mistaken for someone with a lesser role.
"Probably 75 percent of the time, if we get umpires at the game who don't know me, they'll go up to my assistant coach Vern Hjelmberg because they think he's the head coach, when it's really me," Carpenter said. "There's not that many female coaches, so it's probably an easy assumption for them to make."
Even if the mistake does no real harm, the reasoning behind the umpires' assumptions is troubling. Carpenter is one of only nine women who are varsity head coaches at the seven local high schools of DeKalb, Sycamore, Kaneland, Genoa-Kingston, Hinckley-Big Rock, Hiawatha and Indian Creek. Only 11 percent of varsity head coaching positions at local schools are held by women.
DeKalb, Sycamore and Indian Creek each have two women as head coaches, the most of any schools in the area. Kaneland is the only school with none.
"It's a very complicated answer as to why this is, from individual choices to family structure barriers to organizational opportunities to societal stereotypes about gender and leadership," said Nicole LaVoi, associate director at the University of Minnesota's Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sports. "It's not a simple answer as to why this decline or the underrepresentation has occurred."
History and numbers
More than 40 years since Title IX outlawing gender discrimination in educational activities became federal law in 1972, record numbers of girls are participating in athletics. But the percentage of their coaches who are women has declined.
Although data is largely unavailable at the high school level, 40 years ago, more than 90 percent of collegiate women's athletic teams were coached by women. Now the number hovers around 43 percent, according to a study by Brooklyn College professors Vivian Acosta and Linda Jean Carpenter.
G-K athletic director Dirk Campbell said he's only had two women head coaches during his four years at the school. He estimated that about 20 percent of applicants for coaching positions are women.
"When jobs become more desirable and they become better-paid, the men will start infiltrating those jobs and that's exactly what we've seen with coaches of specifically girls basketball," LaVoi said. "It's complicated, but yes, that's a pattern."
At the seven local high schools, all varsity girls basketball and soccer teams are coached by men, and only two softball teams are led by female head coaches. Girls volleyball is the only major sport where a majority (four) of local varsity teams are coached by women.
While men have made inroads into girls sports, women are still largely locked out of coaching positions on boys teams. Only about 3 percent of men's sports teams are coached by women at the collegiate level, the same percentage as in 1972.
Leah Eames, the DeKalb-Sycamore co-op swim coach for both the boys and girls teams, is one of only two local women to lead a boys sports team. Tiffany Gawrysh leads both the boys and girls cross country teams at G-K during the fall.
"When we do find those women, they are coaching sports that you could argue are not the most visible, culturally important sports," LaVoi said. "They are in cross country, swimming or tennis. They are never in basketball, football, hockey, baseball."
Year-round commitment
On a Friday morning in November, Eames traveled to Evanston to watch the preliminary heats at the girls state swim meet in Evanston.
DeKalb-Sycamore freshman Jensen Keck finished 33rd in the 100-yard breaststroke and, after more than three months, the co-op's season was finally finished. Less than 48 hours later, Eames was back at the Huntley Middle School pool, for the first practice of the boys season.
More competition in youth sports has forced coaches to put in more time during the season and offseason to build successful programs.
"It's kind of a year-round committment, whether it be on the club team, the high school team or just getting ready for the next season, planning different workouts, different practices," Eames said. "It's a lot of work."
Carpenter experiences the same workload in softball, as she spends much of her summer with the Sycamore Flash softball teams, preparing girls to eventually become high school varsity softball players.
The time commitment is just one potential reason why there aren't more women head coaches.
"At the high school level we see a lack of women maybe, in part, because they have to have multiple jobs," LaVoi said. "If they have a family, they are still probably the primary caretaker and doing a lot of the domestic labor around the house. You're talking about women that might then have four or five different roles that they're juggling."
Almost all of the local women in coaching are younger than most of their male counterparts. Neither Eames nor Carpenter is married, but both said family considerations could lead them to take a step back from coaching.
"Right now it's doable ... but once I do start a family, it's going to be a lot more difficult to have that alarm set before 5 [a.m.] and not return home before 8:30 or 9 [p.m.]," Eames said. "I've definitely thought about it, it's definitely an issue that will come up."
Changing a culture
Every day Sycamore High School senior Abby Foulk spends three hours as a classroom assistant at North Grove Elementary School, helping teach kindergartners and third-graders.
Foulk is an aspiring teacher who also has her eye on eventually becoming a softball coach.
"I want to have the game in my life forever, so I think coaching is one way to continue doing that, just like Carpenter has," said Foulk, Sycamore's ace pitcher.
Foulk noted that most of her travel coaches have been men with a baseball background, Foulk said she can relate to Carpenter because she's following a similar path that Carpenter took when she played.
"She's played in the women's fast-pitch league, she played at NIU, she has a lot of experience," Foulk said. "She has a way of reaching out to us and getting us the information we need to know, finding a way to really connect with us because she's been there."
In addition to her classroom time, Foulk is also a volunteer coach with the 10U Storm softball team and helps put on pitching clinics for the park district teams.
Carpenter said her first volunteer opportunities came in college, but during her tenure at Sycamore she's seen more girls developing a desire to coach early on.
"They have more of a vision that it's a possibility and is something they like to do," Carpenter said. "In the past it was not something that girls said 'This is something I'm going to do.' "
Although the culture among younger female athletes may be shifting, LaVoi says more needs to be done. Some of her recommendations include active recruitment of women coaches by administrations, providing more mentorship and professional development opportunities for female coaches, and the possible implementation of hiring policies at schools.
The answers to getting more female head coaches may not be simple, but LaVoi said there's a need for additional female role models on the sidelines.
"It is really important if we're ever going to change stereotypes about women and leadership that we have to see women in positions of power, meaning as coaches, as head coaches, in particular," LaVoi said. "Then young boys and girls will have a very different vision of women and power."

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- History for sale: Old Fork Union house has great appeal
Address: 4819 James Madison Highway
Neighborhood: Fork Union in Fluvanna County
Asking: $179,500
Assessment: $195,966
Year Built: 1882
Size: 2,785 fin. sq. ft.
Land: 1.2 acres
Agent: Tommy Brannock, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III-Downtown, 434-977-3033
Curb Appeal: 8 out of 10
People who love old houses just love old houses, and it's often hard to convince those who are more interested in new construction and modern amenities that taking on the challenge of a "history project" is worth it. That being said, this Fork Union historic home is an interesting investment with character and potential. The right buyer will see both in this patchwork of new, old, and in-between.
To start with, many but not all windows in the house have been replaced. The main bath on the second floor has a vintage tub and medicine cabinet, while the sink and flooring have been updated. Down in the kitchen, a circa-1950s stove shares space with cabinets that are good representatives of the '80s. (While buyers looking for a long-term restoration project can focus on updating– or backdating– one area at a time, everything is newly painted and move-in ready as is.)
The sprawling first floor has plenty of living space. One of the most distinctive rooms is the den in one corner of the house, where wide pine floorboards, paneling, and built-in shelves make it a cozy retreat. Next to the original fireplace, a tall, narrow closet was probably originally used for storing rifles, according to the owner. A narrow half bath off the den sports a sink may have come from a train car restroom.
A more or less circular maze of rooms– including a spacious formal dining room, a living room with fireplace, and several smaller linked rooms with separate access to the outdoors, plus a bath with standup shower—leads to a room similar to the den but with a slate tile floor. A previous elderly owner lived entirely on the first floor, and so two of these rooms are counted as bedrooms. It's unlikely that a new buyer will want to use them for that purpose, but the possibility adds versatility.
Upstairs, three bedrooms all have multiple windows providing lots of light. The largest two mirror each other on either side of the house. In addition to modest closets, each has sort of a walk-in area to the unfinished attic. Previous owners lined the roof supports with hooks. One step down from the long and narrow (but still amply sized) middle bedroom, a bathroom has a claw-foot tub and a toilet, but no shower. So it's likely a new buyer would choose one of the other two bedrooms for the master.
Hot-water heat from radiators– which many consider the best heat– combine with a slate roof, and a historic marker proclaiming this house as the site of the first classes held at nearby Fork Union Academy on October 15, 1898 to make this an interesting and unique property.
The acre-plus lot is flat, with most of the acre in a long front yard. Although the lot is sizeable, neighbors are close by, and part of a back drive is shared with folks next door. There's no garage, but there is a carport at the back of the house and a shed as well as a slate patio. A screened porch with slate floor adds appeal to the unfinished space that also includes a basement.
Lovers of old homes who don't mind a drive may want to visit this one. Based on the location, it's a place where a couple with separate commutes (Charlottesville and Richmond) can split the difference.

I was drunk Pinning one night and resolved I would finally get around to updating our master bedroom. These spaces turned me on.
And this is how I'm making my vision come to life:
crystal wall sconce; swan watercolor; mirror; vases; lamp; tray; salmon throw; leather ottoman; pillows; gallery wall.
New lighting, art, and accessories are freshening up the cave.
I'll have you know that I'm a bargain hunter and I scored that ridiculously expensive mirror for $20 at TJMaxx. It's the exact same thing on a smaller scale and I love waking up to it every morning. Also, I don't plan on spending an arm and a leg on an ottoman or trays or accessories, so I'll continue scouring until I find affordable versions.
I'll share photos of the end result when it's closer to complete.

Lindsay Lohan rejected a plea agreement Thursday offered by prosecutors in a grand theft case, but the judge gave the actress one more chance to consider his offer.
The "Mean Girls" star returned to a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday for a hearing in front of Judge Keith Schwartz.
The judge set a preliminary hearing for April 22, but he set another hearing for March 25. That hearing will be held only if Lohan is planning to enter into a plea agreement, the judge said.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Basically, the judge's decision Thursday gives Lohan and her attorney more time to consider the plea deal.
Lohan is accused of swiping a $2,500 necklace from a Venice jewelry store last January, shortly after she was released from 90-days in rehab. On Feb. 9, Lohan pleaded not guilty to the felony grant theft charge.
A plea deal would end the case, but Schwartz warned at a Feb. 23 hearing the deal would guarantee time behind bars.
"This issue is, what it is," Schwartz said.
Should Lohan not accept a plea deal, Judge Schwartz has said he'll refer the case to Judge Stephanie Sautner for a hearing on whether is enough evidence for a trial. Sautner would also call the shots on whether Lohan violated her probation stemming from her 2007 misdemeanor case.
As for the necklace, the jewelry store owners announced Wednesday they plan to auction it off for charity.

Los Angeles: Rolled Tacos at Benito's
You'll never find more than one or two people sitting and scarfing at the Benito's on Beverly Blvd., and you'll certainly never catch a line out the door. But grab a seat long enough and you'll notice one thing: there's always a new customer at the counter. Sometimes in a business suit, often in pajama pants, but always rushing in and taking out their orders. This is a true neighborhood taco spot.
Technically called "Benito's Taco Shop", the Los Angeles mini-chain offers supremely basic taco possibilities with all the loving décor of an 1980s mall food court, plus the added bonus of an "open late" sign. If you're looking for something a little heftier to help soak up the night, the carne asada fries or super nachos are a tasty option but most folks stick to the rolled tacos.
Not unlike various taquito options you can find elsewhere around town, these tight, pre-made tubes of corn tortilla are stuffed with shredded beef and deep-fried. An order of these rolled tacos (three for $4.29 or five for a dollar more) comes smothered in vibrant green guacamole and a hefty handful of orange cheddar cheese, perfectly calibrated to be warm and melty by the time you get it back to your house.
The tacos are crunchy and satisfying, with the added gooeyness from the slathered toppings. Inside, the shredded beef is the same as what you can get in a larger flour tortilla down the menu board, but without enough ounces inside the rolled tacos to really pack much flavor. There's a delicate beefiness, but under all that toppings tonnage, that's about all you'll get. It's a cost-saving measure, but these otherwise tasty rolled tacos could stand a bit more beef, and to be made fresh to order.
At first glance, the normal soft tacos on the Benito's menu board seem astronomically priced—they're around $3 each. These aren't your taco truck Jalisco-style disks though. Big, palm-sized corn tortillas are steamed up and splashed with large spoonfuls of salty carne asada and more of that housemade guacamole. Toss in some low-rent salsa and you've got a salty, smooth, beefy, slightly wet taco that probably won't stay together past the second bite.
The runt of the small tacos is the carnitas, a vaguely porky attempt at the Mexican staple. Instead of juicy chunks of slow-roasted pork butt, the Benito's carnitas is dry and flat with an almost jerky-like consistency that can't be saved by mere salsas or cilantro. What fails for the other tacos—the weak steamed tortillas, the wet and uninspired chunky salsa—is magnified with the carnitas taco, making you wish you'd ordered up another round of rolled tacos instead.
As the neighborhood slowly passes you by from one of the empty tables inside Benito's, you have to marvel at the Little Taco Machine that Could. Against all sorts of better competition around town, in some ways even against itself, Benito's remains a fan favorite for plenty of people, especially those within take-out distance. Call it the Power of Proximity.

An 8-megapixel camera and a 1.9-megapixel front camera offer users a variety of intelligent camera features and face recognition related options.
Samsung Galaxy S III is powered by Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich.
The Galaxy S III features S Voice, a natural language user interface, to listen and respond to words. In addition to allowing information search and basic device-user communication, S Voice presents powerful functions in regards to device control and commands.
In addition to recognizing face and voice, the Galaxy S III understands personal motions. If consumers are messaging someone but decide to call instead, they can simply lift their phone to ear to Direct call the number. With Smart alert, the Galaxy S III will also save consumers from trouble by catching any missed messages or calls; the phone will vibrate to notify missed statuses when picked up after being idle.
With the new S Beam, the Galaxy S III expands upon Android Beam, allowing a 1GB movie file to be shared within three minutes and a 10MB music file within two seconds by simply touching another Galaxy S III phone, even without a Wi-Fi or cellular signal. The Buddy photo share function also allows photos to be easily and simultaneously shared with all friends pictured in an image directly from the camera or the photo gallery.
With AllShare Cast, users can wirelessly connect their Galaxy S III to their television to immediately transfer smartphone content onto a larger display. AllShare Play can be also used to instantly share any forms of files between Galaxy S III and tablets, PCs, and televisions regardless of the distance between the devices. Under AllShare Play is also the Group Cast feature that allows consumers to share their screen among multiple friends on the same Wi-Fi network; consumers can make comments and draw changes at the same time with co-workers, witnessing real-time sharing on individual devices.
The Galaxy S III is available in blue and white at launch, while Samsung will introduce a variety of additional color options at a later time.
With a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy S III offers a large and vivid viewing experience. To ensure faster content sharing and connectivity, the Galaxy S III offers Wi-Fi Channel Bonding which doubles the Wi-Fi bandwidth.
The Galaxy S III also sports a range of additional features that boost performance and the overall user experience in entirely new ways. It introduces 'Pop up play,' a feature that allows users to play a video anywhere on the screen while simultaneously running other tasks, eliminating the need to close and restart videos when checking new emails or surfing the Web.
Mobile payment is also accessible with the device through advanced Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. The gaming experience is enhanced through Game Hub, providing access to numerous social games, while Video Hub brings users high quality TV and movies. Furthermore, Samsung Music Hub will offer a personal music streaming service. Game Hub, Video Hub and Music Hub will be introduced in select countries initially and soon rolled out to global markets.
The Samsung Galaxy S III will be available from the end of May in Europe before rolling out to other markets globally.

Here's a surprise: staring at screens throughout the day is pretty much unavoidable. But all that screen time can be hard on your eyes and may cause digital eye strain — even if you don't currently wear glasses. Because screens are small, bright and we spend a lot of time staring at them, they make our eyes work hard.
- Most people spend at least 12 hours a day consuming some form of media.
- It only takes as little as two hours in front of a screen to cause digital eye strain.
- Nearly 60% of people use their smartphones before bed and right when they wake up.

Remembering WCW will be a series of videos here on Broiled Sports to remember my favorite professional wrestling promotion, World Championship Wrestling. While WCW is mistakenly remembered as a failure, due to WWE, this was not the case at all. WCW at one point was the greatest wrestling company in the world and in my opinion, of all time.
While politics, poor business decisions, bad spending, and AOL-Time Warner did end up killing WCW in the end, there were so many great moments that happened before they closed down. These moments will be captured here to prove a point about WCW's greatness. Whether it be the 'new World order', Goldberg, 'The Franchise' Sting, 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair, 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan, the awesome talent rosters, the best matches anywhere, the best storylines, or a ton of other great things that happened in WCW, it will be brought back into the forefront here.
Remembering WCW Part 79: Dean Malenko & Chris Benoit vs Curt Hennig & Barry Windham for WCW Tag team title.

Dannie William's got me my car, didnt hassle me about outside financing, and quoted me a better price than I expected. I had to drive 150 miles round trip, but it was well worth it! "

" Bobby, Ashlee, and the entire KIA Sales Team were exceptional, hospitable, and most importantly, honest. There were no tricks, hidden agendas, or tactics. They provided numbers that hit the mark on what I could pay within my budget. I received a full tour of the dealership and was made to feel like family. I'm a Veteran and so is Bobby, therefore, I knew I could trust his approach and information. I shopped around a few other KIA dealerships, but would not take my business anywhere else. Thank you, University KIA! "
" I was able to get into the vehicle that I wanted. They have friendly folks doing what they can to get you a good deal. I feel they did a great job. "
" We loved our experience at University Kia! Great team! Loved meeting Cleve Miller! Go see them if you are looking for an awesome deal. "
" I will always take my car to University Kia for any repairs. Prompt and great services. Employees are very friendly and gets the work done. God bless. "
" After working with DFW dealers for a couple of days, working with Cleve was great!! He listened to what I wanted - not what he wanted to sell me! He got me in the car that I wanted and with the financing I wanted. Closing was breezy! I recommend Cleve and University Kia! "

Produced in exactly the same way as the world famous Pappelina rugs these table settings are almost indestructible and certainly low maintenance!

All items can be used as trivets, ie for hand hot bowls and plates, though we would caution that excessive heat can damage the surface underneath the runner so we recommend not putting metal pans or extremely hot items on them.
As Pappelina runners are hand-woven please allow up to a plus or minus 4 percent size variation.
Wherever we use plastic in todays world we must now ensure it is in the safest and most environmentally friendly conditions.
Historically PVC used to contain some harmful ingredients such as chromium, lead, cadmium and phthalates all of which are harmful to people and to the environment giving the material an extremely bad reputation.
In the last decades PVC has undergone a massive change for the better with a lot of research being undertaken into the composite of the material. As a result todays PVC is 100% safe and fully sustainable, a positive message that is gradually winning over the historical negative one.
PVC is a plastic that is produced with relatively low power consumption giving rise to much lower carbon dioxide emissions when compared to most other plastics including PP and the well-known PET. .
The PVC plastic Pappelina use exclusively is entirely free of phthalates and is completely non-toxic; it is in fact approved for use in the food industry and for toys in the EU and the US. PVC is also used extensively in healthcare and medical devices such as tubes and blood bags. .
PVC has an extremely long life-span, is very durable and does not emit microplastic particles that affect our health and our nature. .
PVC is made from natural resources such as salt, oil and ethylene and, thanks to its composition, is 100% recyclable as it can easily be melted down and reused.
Pappelinas plastic supplier, Gislaved Folie AB of Sweden, is fully certified in accordance with the acknowledged international standardizations ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. .
Pappelina design and produce everything PVC in Sweden! Their production and distribution are wall-to-wall which gives environmental benefits when it comes to transports and logistics. In addition, it gives them complete control from concept to finished product.
