Movie review: In 'The Lost City of Z,' a man answers to the call of the wild
The idea of writer-director James Gray, best known for making films in contemporary gritty urban settings ("The Yards," "We Own the Night"), telling the true tale of a Brit exploring the jungles of South America in the early 1900s, is a stretch. But Gray rises to the occasion in "The Lost City of Z," trimming down the lengthy David Grann book about Major Percy Fawcett and turning it into an epic adventure movie.
Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) is introduced in 1905 as a man who's been in the army for quite a while, has never won a medal, and is worrying that he's getting too old for that to ever happen. Opportunity knocks when the Royal Geographical Society, knowing that Fawcett had some surveying work on his resume, sends him off to properly map the sketchy border between Brazil and Bolivia, where the rubber industry is booming, and dubious borders could lead to war. And, they mention, if he does the job well, there could be some "soldierly decorations."
And so he goes, leaving his upset but understanding wife Nina (Sienna Miller) and his young son behind, then joining up with another British military man, Henry Costin (an unrecognizable Robert Pattinson), who will be his aide-de-camp on the journey through the jungles of Amazonia.
Warned as soon as they get there by some English-speaking workers that their mission is too dangerous and that should go home, Fawcett ignores the advice, hires a guide and some locals, and sets sail upstream in small boats, only to learn that they should have listened. In a scene reminiscent of "Apocalypse Now," the boats are attacked by natives who let their arrows fly from the banks.
Gray's script shows us a proud man who is striving to get ahead, but starts experiencing some self doubt. Why did I come here, he asks himself. The answer comes soon after, when, safe, but still in the middle of the jungle, he stumbles upon some shards of pottery and is convinced that they're signs of a long-gone civilization.
Returning to England, he's welcomed by his loving wife, who has had a son while he was gone, but when he announces his findings to the Royal Geographical Society, he's met with jeers. They suggest that he's just another looney, searching for the golden city of El Dorado. "No," he shoots right back. "It's the city of Z!" (which, as Brits do, he pronounces as zed).
So after once again leaving his wife, again pregnant, behind, it's a return to Amazonia where Fawcett is transformed from dutiful cartographer to determined explorer. The trusty Costin is still at his side, and now the wealthy adventurer James Murray (Angus Macfadyen) is tagging along, proving, alas, to be a detriment to the enterprise.
The film works both as sprawling story and as a study of a man who believes it's his destiny to, in his words, "attempt great things." It also suggests that Fawcett might be delusional, but that word doesn't appear to be in his vocabulary. When his party visits a tribe that he can communicate with, and he looks at their achievements in agriculture, he turns to Costin and says, with wonder, "These so-called savages have cultivated the jungle." Then he adds, "Imagine what Z must be like!"
There's another trip home, where Fawcett meets his infant daughter; a strange plot turn has James Murray trying to sue him for putting his life in peril; and a whole other story sends Fawcett to the front lines of WWI, where he's gravely wounded, and puts him at odds with his son Jack (Tom Holland, our next Spider-Man), who accuses Fawcett of continually abandoning the family.
Though the film is nearly over at this point, Fawcett's story has many miles -- including a return to the jungle, now with Jack -- to go. What makes it all the more fascinating is that while most of this is about him and his exploits, it becomes clear that it's as much about Nina, who has been left at home worrying about him all these years, and now remains there worrying about him and their son.
A mystery ensues, as does the possibility of tragedy. But Gray ends the film with an aura of physical beauty -- nighttime jungle scenes lit only by small fires -- and with a ray of hope in the mind of Nina.

Today's Music: The Kids – Groenplaats
This piece is sponsored by The Belgian Society for Bored Students and the Belgium Department of Tourism.
Author note – I have absolutely no idea what people are named in Belgium.
Dramatis Personae
Ervina – A university age girl, spunky, with a variety of piercings
Ardralla – A university age girl, neat, straitlaced. She seeks adventure
Coralla – A university age girl, relaxed. Actually, she seems kind of bored.
Herbert – A professional ear-piercer, who looks like he learned by practicing on himself.
(The late winter Belgium sun shines through a glass plate, emblazoned with "Herbert's Belgian Ear Piercing And Waffle Emporium". Three girls sit at a table, talking across their plates laden with waffles and chocolate.
A waiter brings them another round of Belgian beer.)
Ardralla: Of course I'm going to do it. One little prick. How bad can it be? (She faces Ervina) you have plenty of them. Do they hurt?
Ervina: All of my piercings are significant. (She runs her hand across her face, fingering piercings as she speaks.) These were for the first men I loved. (She touches another) And this was for the first woman I loved.
(She touches a Belgian Flag stud pierced through her lower lip. She turns full-on to the audience, with a glowing smile.)
And this is the flag of our beloved Belgium – a great place to live, a great place to visit!
(Her teeth sparkle)
Coralla: (Yawning) Yawn.
Ardralla: (sighing) You're so dramatic. You should post that little story.
Ervina: (grinning) Well, no blog intended, but my piercings tell the story of me and my life. (She flicks a gold waffle earring hanging from her ear and grins again.) And of course, our beloved Belgium, where we make over 800 different beers!
(Her teeth sparkle.)
Ardralla: (Looking out to the audience) Why do you keep doing that? Besides, I thought we were talking about me. Do you think Olaf Olafsoen will like me with an earring?
Ervina: (Smirking) Oh, Olaf loves the girls with earrings!
Coralla: (Yawning) Yawn.
Ardralla: (Rising angrily) Ervina, how could you? You know I like him!
(Ardralla reaches for the Belgian pastry, a gozette (delicious!) and prepares to throw it at Ervina.
Her arm is grabbed by HERBERT, the tattooed and pierced professional whose shop this is.)
Herbert:(His voice comes out as a lisp, a side effect of the 72 tongue piercings he has, and nerve damage to his face from the Belgian flag tattooed on his cheek.) It would be a shame to waste that turnover, my dear. (He turns to the audience) The gozette is one of our local delicacies, renowned for its deliciousness! (turning back to Ardralla) I understand you're here for a piercing?
Coralla: (Yawning) Yawn.
Exit stage right
Interior, Piercing/Tattoo parlor.
(Herbert finishes another Belgian made beer and exhales, satisfied. The mug joins many others on a crowded table. Ardralla watches him from the chair.)
Herbert: Ok, let's get this done.
(He reaches for his tools and turns to Ardralla, just as Ervina rushes in.)
Ervina: Wait- I love Olaf!
(Ardralla shrieks as Herbert stumbles. The lights fade. Ardralla shrieks again.)
(The girls are sitting on a bench in front of the famous Little Boy Peeing fountain. Ervina's mascara has run from crying. Ardralla has a large bump on her shoulder under her shirt. Corvalla looks bored.)
Ervina: I'm so so sorry…
Ardralla: I have to wait three weeks to take this off so it doesn't get infected! I can't believe you thought drunken Herbert was a great piercing artist!
Ervina: Well it doesn't look that bad. Can I see?
Ardralla: (Ripping her shirt open) HE PIERCED MY SHOULDER! (She turns to the audience, gesturing at the stud.) But it is a tasteful representation of Tintin, one of Belgiums most famous characters!
(Her teeth sparkle.)
Coralla: (Yawning) Yawn.
The curtain falls.

The Center for Early Childhood Education at NVCC, which was then Mattatuck Community College, opened its doors in January 1977 to provide a training laboratory for early childhood education majors at the college as well as a quality educational environment for young children ages 3 - 6.
The initial set-up of the center included one large preschool and a toddler classroom. Today there are three classrooms, including two preschools, one with an integrated Kindergarten component, a toddler class.
The enrollment of the center includes children of staff, faculty, students and the local community.
In 1998, the Center for Early Childhood Education at NVCC received a school readiness grant from the state of Connecticut, expanding it's role in the community through collaboration with the Waterbury School System. There are currently 20 full-time slots and two part-time slots designated under the umbrella of Waterbury School Readiness.
The Center has evolved through the years to become a nationally accredited, high-quality model school that serves as the training ground for approximately 40 early childhood education students per year as well as students in other related disciplines, such as psychology, English and nursing.
The Center is the only training facility in the state to incorporate the Reggio Emilia approach into its teacher preparation program as well as fully utilize the approach in the classrooms with young children.
High-interest, in-depth studies that encompass a variety of learning and embedded curriculum and assessment are considered the Project Approach.
Reggio Emilia Italia
No Way. The hundred is there.*
The child
is made of one hundred.
The child has a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking.
A hundred always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling of loving
a hundred joys
for singing and understanding
a hundred worlds
to discover
a hundred wolds
to invent
to dream.
The child has
a hundred languages
(and a hundred, hundred, hundred more)
but they steal ninety-nine.
The school and the culture
separate the head from the body.
They tell the child:
to think without hands
to do without head
to listen and not to speak
to understand without joy
to love and to marvel
only at Easter and Christmas.
to discover the world already there
and of the hundred
they steal ninety-nine.
that work and play
reality and fantasy
science and imagination
sky and earth
reason and dream
are things
that do not belong together.
And thus they tell the child
that the hundred is not there.
The child says:
No way. The hundred is there.

A well known New York Chef once told me that when he graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, he prided himself of making a pasta dish that required thirty ingredients. Sure, it was absolutely delicious, but it took a loooong time to prepare. Soon, however, he outgrew that urge as he realized you can still make delicious dishes with far fewer ingredients, less preparation time and those tasting them would still lick their fingers.
Leah Schapira's Fresh and Easy follows the latter philosophy, as the book makes food preparation fun, healthy, quick!
The book is divided into nine sections:
- Menus
- Soups
- Salads
- Dips & Sauces
- Side Dishes
- Brunch &Lunch
- Main Dishes
- Traditional
- Desserts
The Menus section is subdivided into five sections:
- Appetizer Ideas
- Pesach Menu
- Make-in Take-out
- Quick and Easy
- Freezes Well
Each of these subsections sports tempting thumbnail photos of various dishes and the page numbers where they can be found.
It wasn't easy choosing just one favorite recipe, but I finally opted for a dessert:
Chocolate Mousse With Pear Chips
- 8 eggs separated
- 12 oz bittersweet chocolate (not baking)
- 1 teaspoon coffee granules (dissolved in 3 teaspoons boiling water)
- 1/4 cup red wine
Pear Chips
- 2 firm pears
- 1 cup sugar
- In a mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Over a double boiler, melt the chocolatre with the coffee. Beat the egg yolks with a fork and quickly add to double boiler, mixing well. Add the red wine. Remove from heat.
- Fold in the egg whites until combined. Place in individual cups for serving refrigerate.
- To prepare pear chips, preheat oven to 325F.
- Thinly slice the pears and lighly coat each side with sugar. Place the pear slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Turn the pears over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the pears in the oven to cool and dry.
- Before serving, garnish mousse with chocolate shavings and caramelized pear chips.
With great photography, a nice – easy on the eyes – layout, this book is a delight to hold and salivate as you look at the featured recipes, truly fresh and easy
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!

|More Information on the Honda CBR929RR/CBR954RR
The Honda CBR900RR, also known as the Fireblade in some countries, is a large displacement sport bike introduced in 1992 by Honda. It was the first of a series of large-displacement Honda models to carry the RR suffix. The development of the first generation CBR900RR was led by Tadao Baba.
The first generation RR, the CBR900RR, was introduced in 1992 with an 893 cc (54.5 cu in) inline-four engine set a precedent for light weight in the super bike class. The CBR900RR was based on an advanced research stage model known within Honda as the "CBR750RR". With the objective of equaling the acceleration of competitors' flagship sport bikes, Honda increased the stroke of its inline 4-cylinder 750cc engine and raised displacement to 893cc. Complementing this excellent power performance were the bike's dry weight of 185 kg, wheelbase of 1,405 mm and body almost identical to that of the advanced research stage model. At 453 lb (205 kg) wet weight, was heavier than Honda's own CBR600F2, by just 4 lb (2 kg) and the next-lightest open-class machine the Yamaha FZR1000 was heavier by 76 lb (34 kg)
Numerous changes were made to the second-generation RR, which debuted in 1994, including changes to damping rates and spring. The front fork was upgraded with a compression adjuster. Gearchange was improved with a new shift drum to improve notchy changes, the upper cowl stay went from steel to aluminum, and the cylinder head cover went from aluminum to magnesium. The styling of the bike also became more aggressive: The independent dual lights became irregular-shaped multi-reflector lights known as "fox eyes" and the bike had fewer of the RR's unique fairing holes. The foot pegs were firmer and slimmer like that of the RC45 and the reversed pedal on the original was replaced with a shift linkage. Instead of measuring speed from the front wheel the speed is measured from the countershaft sprocket with an electronic speedometer.
1996 brought the first major changes to what was now the third generation of the CBR900RR. In order to achieve a more optimized balance of rigidity, Honda significantly revised the 1996 models suspension and chassis. larger thinner-walled extrusions for more torsional rigidity were used in the swingarm and frame. Revised shock and fork internals and 5 mm (0.2 in) raised swingarm pivot. The bars were taller by 10 mm (0.4 in)and pulled back five degrees for better ergonomics. A 10 mm (0.4 in) increase in bore raised displacement to 918 cc (56.0 cu in). Other revisions were a smaller alternator a throttle position sensor added and as well as extra clutch plates a larger exhaust. The only changes for the 1997 model were graphics and color options.
In 1998, Honda continued subtle refinements in the fourth generation CBR900RR's chassis. It got a stiffer frame more like the original. Offset on the triple clamp reduced by 5 mm (0.2 in). Brakes got larger rotors on the front and new calipers. Ergonomics was revised with raised footpegs. The engine got revised with 80 percent new internals in an effort to reduce friction and weight. Cylinders bore got an aluminum composites treatment and new pistons. It also got a larger radiator and a new exhaust header in stainless steel.
The fifth generation of RR, known as the CBR929RR in North America, was introduced in 2000 and had a completely new 929 cc (56.7 cu in) engine dimensions more oversquare with lighter internals. Also adding fuel injection with larger valves set at a more narrower angle. A new all-titanium exhaust equipped with HTEV. The swingarm is mounted to the engine with bracing under the engine. Larger front rotors 330 mm mounted to 17 inch wheels instead of the 16 inch mounted to a new inverted fork.
The sixth generation of the RR was introduced in 2002 (known as the CBR954RR in North America and Japan), cylinder bore was increased from 74mm to 75mm, increasing capacity to 954 cc (58.2 cu in). Larger fuel injectors and radiator, re-mapped electronic fuel injection, and a more powerful ECU were also added. The bodywork and fairings were reworked for a sleeker, more aerodynamic feel. The frame was strengthened and a more rigid swingarm added and the footpegs were raised to allow for greater lean angles. Front discs increased to 330 mm. Dry weight was reduced to 168 kg (370 lb)and the wet weight is 195 kg (430 lb). Power at the rear wheel is 130.8 hp (97.5 kW) and 67.2 lb·ft (91.1 N·m) of torque.
John McGuinness won the Macau Grand Prix in 2001.
The CBR900RR was replaced by an all new CBR1000RR in 2004.
All specifications are manufacturer claimed unless specified.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Microsoft is retooling the latest version of its Windows operating system to address complaints and confusion that have been blamed for deepening a slump in personal computer sales.
The tune up announced Tuesday won't be released to consumers and businesses until later this year. The changes, part of a software package given the codename "Blue," are a tacit acknowledgment of the shortcomings in Windows 8, a radical overhaul of Microsoft Corp.'s ubiquitous operating system.
With the makeover it released last October, Microsoft hoped to play a more prominent role in the growing mobile device market while still maintaining its dominance in PCs. But Windows 8's design, which emphasizes interactive tiles and touch controls, seems to have befuddled as many people as it has impressed. One leading research firm, International Data Corp., says Windows 8 contributed to a 14 percent decline in worldwide PC sales during the first three months of the year - the biggest year-over-year drop ever.
Meanwhile, sales of smartphones and tablet computers are booming. The biggest beneficiaries have been Apple Inc., the maker of the iPhone and iPad, and Samsung Electronics Co., which sells the most devices running on Google Inc.'s Android software. Google is also benefiting from Android's popularity through increased traffic to its services, creating more opportunities for the company to display ads.
By contrast, leading PC makers such as Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Inc., which primarily sell Windows-powered machines, have been mired in a financial funk that has battered their stocks and raised questions about their futures.
Despite the troubling signs, Microsoft insists it's pleased with Windows 8's performance.
The company, which is based in Redmond, Wash., says more than 100 million Windows 8 licenses have been sold so far, up from about 60 million licenses in January. The licensing volume "is in the same general ballpark," as Microsoft's previous operating system - Windows 7 - at a similar juncture of its sales cycle, according to Tami Reller, who serves as the marketing and financial chief for Microsoft's Windows business.
In an interview, Reller said Microsoft still realized changes need to be made to make Windows 8 easier to navigate and capable of taking full advantage of technology improvements that have come out since October.
"Are there things that we can do to improve the experience? Absolutely," Reller said "There is a learning curve (to Windows 8) and we can work to address that."
For now, Microsoft isn't saying what kind of changes will be introduced with the release of Blue, which the company plans to anoint with a different name when the update is available. Microsoft also isn't saying whether it will charge existing owners of Windows 8 devices to get the fixes in Blue. The company plans to release Blue in time for the holiday season.
Reller said more details about Blue will be released before Microsoft holds a developers conference in San Francisco in late June. Some of Blue's features are expected to be previewed at that conference.
If Blue is meant to make people more comfortable, the changes may incorporate more of the elements from earlier versions of Windows.
A common complaint has centered on the lack of a "start" button in the Windows 8 menu.
Other critics have pined for an option that would allow the system to begin in a desktop mode suited for running applications designed for earlier versions of the operating system. Windows 8 currently starts off showing a mosaic of interactive tiles tailored for swiping through programs with a finger instead of using a computer mouse.
Blue also might make it easier to find a set of controls - known as "charms" in Windows 8's parlance - that currently must be pulled out from the right side of a display screen.
Besides responding to customer feedback, Blue also will improve Windows 8's ability to work on smaller tablets with 7- and 8-inch display screens, Reller said. She declined to say whether Microsoft intends to make smaller version of its own Surface tablets. In a conference call with analysts last month, Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein said the company was working with other manufacturers to make smaller tablets.
One thing that Blue won't fix: the relatively small selection of mobile applications tailored for Windows 8. Reller said the Windows 8 store now has more than 60,000 apps. By contrast, there are more than 800,000 apps available for Apple's mobile's devices and nearly that many for Android devices, too. In one of the most glaring omissions on Windows 8, Facebook Inc. still hasn't designed an app to make its online social network more accessible on that system. Facebook has about 750 million mobile users.
Microsoft's decision to tweak Windows 8 so soon after it went on sale may reinforce perceptions that the product is a flop.
Reller is trying to frame the changes as evidence that Microsoft is becoming more agile and nimble as it responds to a rapidly evolving technology market. Smartphones and tablet computers have been at the epicenter of the upheaval, diminishing the demand for PCs as more people and businesses opt for the convenience of increasingly powerful mobile devices.
The mobile computing movement is the main reason that Microsoft made the most dramatic redesign of its Windows operating system since 1995. Given how different that Windows 8 is from its predecessors, Reller said Microsoft always knew it might have to make some adjustments less than a year after the software came out.
"It had to be a very big change to take advantage of the mobile opportunity," she said.
Analysts say one reason Windows 8 got off to a slow start is because there weren't enough devices designed to take advantage of the system's touch-screen features. But that is about to change as HP, Dell and other PC makers prepare to roll out a wide variety of laptops and tablets with displays that respond to touch. More than 2,400 devices have now been certified to run on Windows 8, up from 2,000 in January, Reller said.
Most of the touch-screen laptops will sell at prices $50 to $250 below the first wave of comparable machines running on Windows 8, reductions that Microsoft hopes will prod more people to check out the system.
"As we look at Windows 8, it's important to remember a lot of its full potential won't be realized until there are more touch devices on the market," Reller said.

Update: The Heartland Institute has acknowledged that some of the documents were theirs, but claims that a strategy document is fraudulent. Although other sources indicate that the Heartland is preparing an educational program, none speak to the motivation behind this program.
The scientific findings relevant to climate change generally appear in journals that the public will never look at. Instead, the public battle over the science and its policy implications often boils down to a battle between scientific societies like the AAAS and National Academies of Science and think tanks like the Cato Institute and Heartland Institute, which contest the scientific consensus. The Heartland has even set up a contrarian counterpart to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, called the NIPCC (for "nongovernmental" and "international," naturally).
Yesterday, a series of documents that allegedly originated form the Heartland were leaked to a prominent climate blog. The documents reveal that most of the funding for its climate activities come from a small range of very generous donors, and that big plans are afoot for 2012. If the Heartland has its way, it will fund the launch of a new website by meteorologist and climate skeptic Anthony Watts, and prepare a school curriculum intended to keep teachers from addressing climate science.
The documents include a detailed financial statement, which lists all the sources of income. The Heartland is generally antiregulatory (issues its tackled in the past include everything from smoking laws to telecom regulations), and its list of small donors reflects that. Time Warner Cable and AT&T both show up, as does Microsoft. Pharmaceutical and insurance companies also make appearances, along with the Koch brothers and GM. Combined, these large donors ($10,000 or more) provided about three-quarters of the Heartland's $4.5 million budget last year. A single anonymous donor provided about another $1 million.
A glance through the documents (their authenticity has yet to be confirmed; see below), however, quickly reveals that this broad range of donors isn't involved in the Heartland's climate activities. The NIPCC reports, for example, consume about $300,000 a year, but all of that comes from two donors. Half of the cost of Watts' new website (which is rather pricey, at $88,000) comes from a single donor. Another donor has pledged $100,000 towards the school curriculum project.
The content of Watts' next project isn't made clear in the document (his current website is still focused on arguing about the accuracy of the temperature record long after the issues have been reanalyzed to death). But the description of the project that will target public schools is striking.
UPDATE: The following two paragraphs regarding the education strategy are based on a document that the Heartland Institute says is fraudulent.
After complaining that "Principals and teachers are heavily biased toward the alarmist perspective," the document indicates that the $100,000 will go to David Wojick, an engineer with a PhD in the philosophy of science. Wojick will be funded to address "the absence of educational material suitable for K-12 students on global warming that isn't alarmist or overtly political." To that end, he'll produce a set of modules that explicitly borrows the "teach the controversy" strategy, with each module dedicated to terming different aspects of climate change controversial—humanity's involvement, the accuracy of climate models, the role of CO2 as a pollutant, etc.
This strategy is just as cynical as it sounds. Most of these topics aren't scientific controversies, and one document explicitly notes that the modules aren't focused on enabling teachers to handle climate science better; instead, Heartland hopes to dissuade them from teaching it at all. "Effort will focus on providing curriculum that shows that the topic of climate change is controversial and uncertain—two key points that are effective at dissuading teachers from teaching science."
Wojick isn't the only individual who will be paid well for his role in contesting climate science. Craig Idso, a former coal lobbyist who now helps manage the NIPCC, is getting $11,600 per month for doing so. Fred Singer, a former scientist who often writes editorials that contest the scientific consensus, gets $5,000 a month. A number of others, some still in academia, receive smaller amounts.
UPDATE: the following paragraph is based on information from a document that the Heartland claims is a forgery.
Heartland also claims to be able to mobilize less-formal means of contesting the scientific community. It says it coordinates its work with Watts, along with "other groups capable of rapidly mobilizing responses to new scientific findings, news stories, or unfavorable blog posts." It has also used Forbes blogs (one of its senior fellows has a regular column there) to get its message out. However, its love affair with Forbes is apparently on the rocks, since, " they have begun to allow high-profile climate scientists (such as [The Pacific Institute's Peter] Gleick) to post warmist science essays that counter our own."
Some of these documents are focused on fundraising, and thus might be the product of a bit of wishful thinking. Still, they make the Institute's strategic vision pretty clear, and many of the fundraising details and payments are required as part of tax documents. The most significant question is whether their entire content is authentic.
Many of the extensive details are so mundane that there's little doubt that the leaked documents were based on legitimate ones. The only question is whether some of the text within them has been modified prior to the leak. The Heartland Institute hasn't yet commented publicly on the documents' authenticity, nor has its communications director returned our calls.

The presidents race rally signs have arrived and they look great!
I promised a photo as soon as the finished product arrived, and here it is. This is not cheap cardboard sign. It's made of flexible weatherproof vinyl, is printed on both sides, and will easily last through the entire presidents race season. In fact, when you bring it home you can post it in your yard with the enclosed posts.
If you're wondering how I got this photo, I just had to envision how it will look at Nationals Park, so I took a photo holding up the sign and combined it with this crowd shot from a 2007 Nationals game. Imagine an army of fans holding these up during the presidents race!

"Trust me. It's game on!" Chef Ludo Lefebvre is psyched for viewers to watch Tuesday's episode of The Taste (8/7c, ABC), when the culinary reality series shifts from the audition to competition rounds. Now that he and his fellow mentors -- Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson and Brian Malarkey -- have chosen their four-person teams of home cooks and professional chefs, it's time to pit them against each other. Beyond the increased heat in the kitchen, the possibility of eliminating one of their own team members during the blind taste-test drove the mentors to drink.
"Trust me. It's game on!"
Chef Ludo Lefebvre is psyched for viewers to watch Tuesday's episode of The Taste(8/7c, ABC), when the culinary reality series shifts from the audition to competition rounds. Now that he and his fellow mentors -- Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson and Brian Malarkey -- have chosen their four-person teams of home cooks and professional chefs, it's time to pit them against each other. Beyond the increased heat in the kitchen, the possibility of eliminating one of their own team members during the blind taste-test drove the mentors to drink.
PHOTOS: Stars who don't look their age
"I was not expecting this show to be so emotional and to be so competitive," Lefebvre tells TVGuide.com. "Oh my God, I thought I was back onTop Chef Masters or Iron Chef. Here we go again! It was a challenge. Nigella I know was so stressed sometimes on the set that she'd come to my trailer and we'd do a shot of tequila, Don Julio. With Tony too sometimes we drank some bourbon. Tony also liked gin and tonics. Brian drank a lot of beer. So yeah, we all drank."
This week as part of the Comfort Food challenge, guest chef Gabrielle Hamilton -- who owns New York City's Prune restaurant and is the author of the best-selling memoir Blood, Bones and Butter -- serves the contestants and mentors a dish accompanied by a personal story about that dish. The mentors will then spend an hour with their teams to create their own one-bite comfort foods, and from among those, the mentor selects one spoon to represent the team. The team's spoon that Hamilton selects as the winner will then receive two rewards going into the final challenge: the cook/chef who made the spoon has immunity and the remaining teammates get the benefit of Hamilton's guidance in the kitchen to cook their elimination-round bites.
"After the mentors get to taste all the spoons, blind-tasting, we are going to pick some spoons to go home and the winning spoon," says Lefebvre. "It's two people [eliminated] this week. Sometimes it's three. So you never know. So you never know what you're going to try, so you can send somebody from your team home."
Check out the rest of our interview with Lefebvre, and be sure to watch the exclusive video below, in which the French chef reveals his favorite American foods:
In the first audition show, you offered the contestant Renee from Chicago a job if she came to Los Angeles, even though you didn't pick her for your team. What has happened since? Did she contact you?
Ludo Lefebvre: When I tried her spoon, I really loved it. Everything was cooked perfectly, but it was missing a little seasoning. I was really sad that nobody picked her, so that's why I proposed to her to come to work with me. I did an interview with her on the phone. Actually she's coming next week to cook with me for a few days because I have a private party to do for a new restaurant that I'm opening. I'm a man of my word. If I said I was going to hire her, I want to give her the chance. She deserves it.
Out and proud celebrities
On the second night of auditions, the meatless/dairy-less spoons failed to impress the judges. Could a vegan or vegetarian chef succeed on this show?
Lefebvre: It was just not good enough. Vegetables are very difficult to cook. It's more difficult to cook a carrot than to cook a piece of pork because pork is good already, but a carrot is a carrot. If I had a good vegetable dish, I would pick it. And don't get me wrong, I love vegetables. I love to eat carrots with the perfect spice and salt. I'm obsessed with carrots. I love everything about them.
All four of your team members created audition spoons with seafood. Is seafood prevalent because it's the easiest thing to make in a limited period of time?
Lefebvre: I would say no. Seafood is not easy to do. But we did have a lot of shrimp and a lot of scallops. I guess that day when we went shopping the scallop was on sale. It was a good price? I don't know, but it was a lot of scallop. Scallops are not that easy to cook, to cook it very crispy and medium rare. I was surprised to see so much seafood.
Are the home cooks more nervous during the competition than the professional chefs or vice versa?
Lefebvre: On my team, the home cook was less [stressed-out]. The professional chefs were nervous. If you are a professional chef, you have a lot of things to prove, you don't want to get beat by a home cook. Trust me, there are some egos on the team. Some chefs think they know everything. Sometimes they don't listen to me, so I get mad. It's my first job as a chef, when I'm in the kitchen, it's to teach my staff how to cook. That's why they work with me. So when I'm with my team on TV on The Taste, it's exactly the same way. I want to show them new techniques, something they never did before, to pull them out of their comfort zone.
A lot of fans of the show have commented on the fact that you and Nigella have great chemistry and are always flirting. I know you're both married, so what's going on there?
Lefebvre: Nigella had her own show on E! Entertainment 10 years ago. She was so sexy! She still is so sexy. But I was in love with her. So just to be next to her was so exciting, and I was nervous too. So why wouldn't I want to flirt with her? She's cute, she's sexy and you should see the way she puts the spoon in her mouth. And she's fun and she knows a lot about food. Better watch out for her on the show because, trust me, she knows what is good food. Yes, I flirt with her, but I want to be very close to my enemy. [Laughs]
Was the rivalry even more pronounced between you and Chef Malarkey going into the competition rounds? You took three of the chefs he wanted for his team.
Lefebvre: I have nothing against him, but he's always screaming my name. I mean, the guy is obsessed with me. I don't know why. He really wants to beat me. I think maybe because I win three fights against him and now he has something to prove to me. But Brian has a good palate too. We picked those same three contestants, and I also almost picked one that ended up on his team: Kristianne. The scallop with the corn puree.
From Ron Swanson to the Dowager Countess: Surprisingly sexy TV characters
How does your experience with pop-up restaurants (like the ones you did on Ludo Bites America or your LudoBites dinners) help you as a mentor?
Lefebvre: When I do a pop-up, I just have two days to open a restaurant. I don't have much time to train my staff. I need to do the recipes in two days. So I'm used to working under pressure. When I do LudoBites, I am very limited sometimes with what I have in the kitchen. I don't always have the best kitchens. When I cooked in the bakery, it's very difficult. So I learned a lot, how to execute my food in a very short period of time to get ready.
You've mentioned before that you have a good relationship with food bloggers. How did that come about and how have they helped you?
Lefebvre: When I started my LudoBites in 2007, I had no way to promote what I was doing. You don't have the time to call the L.A. Times or a magazine and say, "Hey, I'm doing a special event next week." They don't have time to print. But I remember the first week we opened LudoBites, I saw all of these people with cameras. I said to [my wife] Krissy, "Who are these people taking pictures?" It was not very common in 2007, you know? ... So I always say that LudoBites was successful because of bloggers who created a buzz on the Internet. It was crazy. That's why I'm successful now. That's why it's funny that I picked a blogger on my team, Sarah.
If you weren't a chef, what do you think you would do?
Lefebvre: I would be a designer for gardens, a landscape architect. I love plants. Or I'd love to be a painter. I love to paint Basquiat style, Jean-Michel Basquiat. It's very difficult to be a chef because you create one dish and so many people are touching the dish after you. You have no choice; you cannot do everything yourself. Sometimes you create a dish and you teach your staff, but sometimes they make a mistake and the dish is not the way you want it. So we get very, very frustrated. But what I like about when you paint, you're alone. Nobody touches your canvas.
You were recently in Hawaii and learned to cook the local cuisine, but there was one popular ingredient I heard you didn't use on your menu: SPAM. What are your thoughts on SPAM?
Lefebvre: You know, people love SPAM in Hawaii. They grew up with that, I understand. But it's just not my thing. I think it's too salty for me and I don't understand how people love SPAM. I just don't get it. I don't get any inspiration to cook with SPAM. Maybe I'd do a good sandwich croque madame or burger, like when you have a hangover. But not to have a good meal, no.
Are you sick of eating bites out of one spoon now that you've done so many tastings on The Taste?
Lefebvre: A little bit. But a lot of people have asked me, "Chef, if you were a contestant on The Taste, what spoon would you do?" I have no idea. It's so difficult to put one dish in one spoon, to balance. We eat some dish on the show like lasagna or pasta but it wasn't the right amount of pasta or cheese or tomato. So you need to be very smart about what to put on the spoon. It's not that easy.
Watch this exclusive video below in which Lefebvre shares his favorite American foods and tune in for The Taste on Tuesday, 8/7c on ABC:

Editorial: LaHood leaving on his own terms
It was a close call for this newspaper's editorial board in the 1994 race for the 18th Congressional District seat being vacated by 38-year fixture Bob Michel. Indeed, on most issues, it was difficult to tell the difference between the House minority leader's longtime aide, Republican Ray LaHood, and Peoria attorney Doug Stephens, the Democrat.
What ultimately tipped the balance in LaHood's favor, then and ever since, was his record of local community service. We endorsed Ray LaHood less to be the congressman in the 18th, tackling the globe's big issues, than to effectively be its mayor, a trait he acknowledged himself while winning his seventh -- and now it seems his final -- term last November.
While some of his issue positions evolved, his mayoral approach to the job never changed.
A relaxed LaHood announced last week that 14 years on Capitol Hill and 30 years of public service in total are plenty, and that he will not be seeking re-election in 2008. The family who flanked LaHood at his Friday morning press conference will get his undivided time and attention now, which he -- and they -- have earned following too many parades and chicken dinners and flights back and forth to count.
We can't say this was a great surprise, as LaHood sent multiple signals the last couple of years that he was tiring of the grind. Among them were his flirtation with a run for governor and his recent expression of interest in the presidency at Bradley University. At 61, he is of retirement age. Democrats now control Congress. As he said, "Now is the right time."
LaHood is certainly leaving on his own terms, as he had a virtual lock on a Republican-leaning district where Democrats have failed to mount a serious challenge in what seems like forever. Even in a bad year for the GOP, he got 67 percent of the vote this last time around. Twice -- 1998 and 2002 -- he had no competition at all. Never an ideologue, mostly moderate in practice, LaHood fit his district, where he preferred to be.
Certainly he'll be remembered for that, even if he sometimes took the parochialism to excess by involving himself in local matters most members of Congress would have steered clear of. He was a reliable vote for central Illinois farmers, for trade issues of interest to Caterpillar, for the Illinois River. He said Friday that among the accomplishments he's justifiably proud of were the establishment of Peoria's federal health clinic, a soon-to-be-launched Downstate Cancer Center and the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield.
While it has not yet borne fruit, his leadership on Peoria's museum also has been laudable.
Enduring images certainly would include his chairing the initial debate on the 1998 impeachment of Bill Clinton, as well as his arrival with George W. Bush on Air Force One after persuading the president to visit central Illinois last January.
Over the years this page had its share of differences with LaHood -- on the path he chose for a Peoria-to-Chicago highway, on some political allegiances we found compromising, on his unwavering and, it sometimes seemed, unquestioning support for the administration's war in Iraq. The latter in particular soured some constituents, as evidenced by their commentary on this page.
But ultimately we choose to recall and respect the Ray LaHood who was an independent voice for central Illinois -- refusing to sign Newt Gingrich's Contract With America in 1994, declining to go along when there was considerable pressure to do so on some deficit-exploding tax cuts, voting against the civil-rights-eroding provisions of the Patriot Act in 2005.
And we'll remember the common-sense, campaign-is-over calls for get-it-done bipartisanship when most were silent. Anybody who could operate with opposites like House Minority Leader John Boehner and Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel must be doing something special.
'"If people would work together in Washington the way we work together in central Illinois, think what great things could be done," LaHood said Friday.
All in all, it has been quite a run for an East Bluff guy whose Lebanese grandparents came through Ellis Island as immigrants, whose career began in the classroom and ended up in Congress.
Expect a virtual free-for-all in the upcoming effort to succeed LaHood in a congressional seat that, from Abraham Lincoln to Everett Dirksen and beyond, has taken a back seat to none in terms of influence. For the great majority of the past century, it has been warmed by someone from the Peoria-Pekin area, which has brought us no small amount of clout on Capitol Hill. We'll keep our fingers crossed that that doesn't change.
"I truly believe that public service is a noble profession," Peoria's congressman said Friday. To our knowledge, Ray LaHood never did anything to make it less so. For that, he can go with "head held high," as can the central Illinoisans who repeatedly elected him. May we be able to say the same of the office's future occupants.

Government doors closed, but workers may get paid
WASHINGTON (AP) — Their government has failed to keep the doors open and has told federal workers to stay off the job as the political parties fight over spending and health care in austere times.
Now Congress and President Barack Obama are sending this message to the 800,000 sidelined government employees: We don't know when the impasses will end but you will get reimbursed for lost pay once the government reopens.
With the partial shutdown entering its fifth day, the GOP-run House passed a bill Saturday that would make sure the furloughed workers get paid for not working. The White House backs the bill and the Senate was expected to OK it, too, but the timing was unclear.
The 407-0 vote in the House was uniquely bipartisan, even as lawmakers continued their partisan rhetoric.
"This is not their fault and they should not suffer as a result," Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said of federal workers. "This bill is the least we should do. Our hard-working public servants should not become collateral damage in the political games and ideological wars that Republicans are waging."
Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, said federal workers shouldn't have to worry about paying their bills while Congress and the White House fight over funding the government.
"They have child care expenses, house payments to make, kids that are in college, and while the president refuses to negotiate, while he's playing politics, they shouldn't worry about whether or not they can make ends meet," Turner said.
But even as Congress and the White House rallied around the bill, one outside group said it "demonstrates the stupidity of the shutdown."
Making the shutdown less painful for 800,000 federal employees will encourage Congress and the White House to extend it even longer, driving up the cost, said Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense.
Ellis said "essential" federal workers who stayed on the job "will feel like suckers because they've been working while the others essentially are getting paid vacations."
The White House has opposed other piecemeal efforts by House Republicans to restore money to some functions of government during the partial shutdown. White House officials have said the House should reopen the entire government and not pick agencies and programs over others.
In the 1995-96 government shutdowns, furloughed workers were retroactively given full pay.
Despite the White House's declared appreciation of the essential the role of federal workers, there appeared no sign of a breakthrough in getting them back to work.
Lawmakers keep replaying the same script on Capitol Hill: House Republicans pass piecemeal bills to reopen popular and politically sensitive programs — on Friday, disaster relief and food aid for the poor — while Democrats insist that the House vote on a straightforward Senate-passed measure to reopen all of government.
"We know that there are enough members in the House of Representatives — Democrats and Republicans — who are prepared to vote to reopen the government,' Obama said in an Associated Press interview Friday. "The only thing that is keeping that from happening is Speaker (John) Boehner has made a decision that he is going to hold out to see if he can get additional concessions from us."
There seemed little chance of that.
For one thing, flinching by either side on the shutdown might be seen as weakening one's hand in an even more important fight looming just over the horizon as the combatants in Washington increasingly shifted their focus to a midmonth deadline for averting a first-ever default.
"This isn't some damn game," Boehner, R-Ohio, said as the White House and Democrats held to their position of agreeing to negotiate only after the government is reopened and the $16.7 trillion debt limit raised.
Republicans pointed to a quote in The Wall Street Journal from an anonymous White House official that "we are winning … It doesn't really matter to us" how long the shutdown lasts.
At issue in the shutdown is a temporary funding measure to keep the government fully open through mid-November or mid-December.
More than 100 stopgap continuing resolutions have passed without much difficulty since the last shutdown in 1996. But tea party Republicans, their urgency intensified by the rollout of health insurance marketplaces this month, are demanding concessions in Obama's health care law as their price for the funding legislation, sparking the shutdown impasse with Democrats.
Obama has said he won't negotiate on the temporary spending bill or upcoming debt limit measure, arguing they should be sent to him free of GOP add-ons. Congress, whether controlled by Democrats or Republicans, routinely sent Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, "clean" stopgap spending bills and debt-limit increases.
House Republicans appeared to be shifting their demands, de-emphasizing their previous insistence on defunding the health care overhaul in exchange for re-opening the government. Instead, they ramped up calls for cuts in federal benefit programs and future deficits, items that Boehner has said repeatedly will be part of any talks on debt limit legislation.
Associated Press reporters Stephen Ohlemacher and Charles Babington contributed to this report.

Sports Betting In Vegas For Beginners – How To Place Winning Bets Online
Sports Betting In Vegas For Beginners
Sports Betting In Vegas For Beginners Online sports betting is a big business these days. Many people earn a living by betting on sports and other games. If you're thinking about becoming a sports bettor, then my article could be a good place to start.
>>>Bet On Anything.Anywhere.Anytime. [Click Here]<<<
Sports Betting Strategy
There are several ways to boost your sports betting strategies, some better than others. I always suggest using a sports betting system or a bonus. Sports betting systems make it easy to create a sports betting strategy that works. They will show you how to read a point spread or when a teaser is used. They will also teach you different betting types and how to pick them. While teaching you how to read point spreads and betting techniques, they will also provide you with other important tips for successful betting.
A sports betting strategy can be built off of one of two foundations – a good tip or technique and a solid bankroll. The best tip is usually the simplest, and the more complex the technique the better. However, I prefer simplicity for my bankroll strategy. When you handicap, you're essentially dividing your bankroll between every possible bet.
The most common of sports betting tips is to simply use your favorite team's strength at the time of the game. For example, if you like the Seattle Seahawks to win their upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers, then you would wager your maximum amount on the Seattle Seahawks. You may also want to use this same tip for all of the NFL preseason games. When you do this, you will be betting on the best team each week, regardless of what the point spread odds say.
One of the best sports betting tips out there is to not worry about the spreads. There are a lot of reasons why people will try to handicap using the spreads. For one thing, it's easy to lose track of how the point spreads have been broken down. If you get really good at reading the lines, then you might be able to guess which team is probably going to win based on the point spreads. That's basically what's meant by "underdog" in the sports betting world. Usually, underdogs will win because their overdogs failed to come up with the optimal strategy.
Another sports betting tip involves looking at the online betting lines explained in this article. Most people who wager online will tell you that you should ignore the line as long as you can. However, the lines are still used by some bookmakers to determine what the point spreads are going to be before the game even starts. I don't understand why anyone would pay attention to the online betting lines, but if you have an account at a place like Betfair, then you can simply visit their website and read all about the online betting lines.
Last but not least, here are some quick sports betting tips for people who aren't familiar with some of the more complex sports betting strategies. First of all, if you want to bet on underdogs, then you need to know why they're underdogs. For instance, if the game is being played in a neutral location, then there's a pretty good chance that the underdogs will win. On the other hand, if the game is being played at home, there's a pretty good chance that the overdogs will win. Simple ideas, but they can sometimes make the difference between winning and losing.
Online Bookies Sports Betting In Vegas For Beginners
If you are considering placing bets with an online bookie, you should be aware of the risks and responsibilities associated with such activity. You should always remember that in the U.S.A. not all online bookies are subject to the same laws as your local bookmaker. Some states have pro-gambling laws, for example in Washington State, online betting is now a Class C misdemeanor. But no one has ever actually been charged with betting online in Washington, or anywhere else for that matter.
The laws surrounding online sportsbooks are different depending on the state in which you live, although they are not always identical. A quick Internet search will display a wide variety of opinions about sportsbook regulation around the country. Some people think the lack of federal regulation is proof that the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA, is protecting the online sportsbook industry from competition. The truth is that the lack of federal regulations affects everyone who conducts business on the Internet whether they are sportsbook operators sportsbooks or casinos.

One thing that all bookies do have in common is that they need to be licensed by the relevant government agency in the area where they operate. For example in Washington State sports betting is illegal without a license. Licensing authorities sometimes go after bookies who are not following the law, sometimes they go after the sportsbooks themselves, and sometimes they go after sportsbooks that take part in activities that go against sports betting regulations. For example, there are a growing number of establishments that are taking part in online sports betting without getting paid in the process. These sportsbooks include sportsbooks that have taken part in sports betting via email or wire transfer, sportsbooks that encourage their customers to place bets over the Internet without getting paid, and even sportsbooks that have accepted credit card payments for betting transactions without first getting the customer's authorization.
Once a sportsbook becomes part of the online sportsbook community, it's difficult if not almost impossible to get rid of them. Some jurisdictions go as far as making it illegal to transfer money over the internet or for sports betting transactions to be conducted online. While that does make a lot of sense, the fact remains that online bookies have helped reduce the number of brick-and-mortar sportsbook businesses in some areas. As the online sportsbook business grows and more people start participating in online sports betting, it's likely that sportsbooks will continue to be regulated and eventually removed from the equation completely.
Many sportsbooks offer the incentive to bet through their online systems in an effort to draw players. In many cases, players will be encouraged to place their bets with the bookie, rather than with their favorite sportsbook directly. This can be very enticing for the right kind of bettor. If you find that you're more comfortable placing your bets with an online bookmaker instead of your favorite sportsbook, then by all means do so.
What to Lookout For
One major pitfall of gambling online is the possibility of being victimized by identity theft. You may feel confident in your playing because you've dealt with your local bookie before and know they're trustworthy. However, it's still a risk and you should still be cautious about giving out your financial information out online. You should also take care when giving out your credit card or banking information online. There have been numerous instances when online gamblers have found themselves the victim of identity theft.
It may seem difficult to trust your local bookies, but with the new wave of technology and the Internet, more individuals are able to do so. It's just a matter of being careful and not falling for too-good-to-be-true scams. Many of these scammers prey on the new technologies and offer ridiculously low initial rates. While the competition among online sportsbooks is fierce, you can still find a great online sportsbook if you take the time to research.

Final Thoughts
Online sportsbooks often offer betting lines that are superior to those offered through your local bookies. For example, if a player is ranked number one overall, but the local sportsbook doesn't offer a good odds package to take advantage of his or her success, you could still bet on that player at your odds. But, if you find that the player has fallen out of favor with the line, then it's probably best to move your bet to a different player. Online odds packages are usually much better than your own local ones, so make sure you consider this when making your final decision. Hopefully, this short article has given you some insights into sports betting. If you're a beginner, then these sports betting strategies might help you. However, if you already have some experience under your belt, then you can use the information here to refine your strategies.
The best way to begin understanding how to win betting on sports is by having a company idea of what your chances are. You ought to understand what the odds for each video game are and how much cash you will be putting down if you bet on that particular team or in this particular video game. This will offer you an concept on what to anticipate. When you bet, you need to know that you are betting against someone who has more luck with the ball than you do. They are going to make more of a return on their bets, so the better you get at choosing the odds the better possibility you have of winning. Sports Betting In Vegas For Beginners

Last weekend while at my in-laws' house, I noticed that my mother in-law's very ripe cherry trees had not been picked. Lucky me, she told me to have at it!
Rick's younger brother, was there and he helped us pick. The cherries were so ripe that some were almost sweet. As we all picked, the adults all remembered being kids, waiting for the cherry trees to ripen (we had cherries at the house I grew up in too), thinking that this year, this year, the cherries would be sweet. I always expected them to taste like a maraschino cherry. Of course, they never, ever did. They were always sour and I was always disappointed.
As a child, I assumed that these small, sour fruits were not real cherries. That they were just for birds and to look pretty. I didn't know how good they really were. Rick, on the other hand, had some home-made pies and jams made from his backyard trees, but still most years the harvest went to the birds and squirrels, and his largest memory of the trees was putting the pits to use in his sling shot.
Maybe that's why he never thought to mention to me that his parents still had the cherry trees. Most years, my mother in-law said, they let a passing neighbor pick the trees. (!) I had been considering going to a pick-your-own orchard this year to buy some, when I noticed her trees.
We didn't even pick half of the two trees, yet we came home with an incredible haul of gorgeous sour cherries.
My younger self would be so jealous of me now. Now, I know how to turn these babies into the sweet, delicious fruit that I always hoped they'd be. See sour cherries (sometimes called tart cherries) are also know as PIE cherries. (Once I tried making a pie from bing cherries. Yeah…. horrible). Sour cherries will give you a pie to die for. We ended up with eight pounds – PITTED.
After washing and pitting them, I immediately put six cups in the freezer for a pie. The rest I divided between the jamming pot and the dehydrator.
Dried sour cherries are pretty expensive to buy in the store. But they are delicious in baked goods, rice, salads, sauces, over pork, granola and trail mix, or just plain as a snack. We hope to dip some in chocolate for Scott as a thank you for helping us pick.
Drying the cherries was incredibly simple. Just wash and pit the cherries, and then spread them on the rack of your dehydrator. make sure they each have a little room so they don't end up stuck together. I tried to pick the best, most perfect cherries to dry. Any squashed or under ripe ones, I tossed back into the bowl to be made into jam. Our food dehydrator puts out quite a bit of heat, and since it has been so hot here, I set it up on an old plywood table on the back porch to do its thing. I set the dehydrator for 135° and let them dry for about 24 hours.
We dried about three pounds of pitted cherries and ended up with just about a pint after they were dry. You have to watch them towards the end of the drying; you don't want them to get crunchy. They should still be soft, kind of like a raisin. Yum.

US hit by new stomach bug spreading around globe
NEW YORK — A new strain of stomach bug sweeping the globe is taking over in the U.S., health officials say.
Since September, more than 140 outbreaks in the U.S. have been caused by the new Sydney strain of norovirus. It may not be unusually dangerous; some scientists don't think it is. But it is different, and many people might not be able to fight off its gut-wrenching effects.
Clearly, it's having an impact. The new strain is making people sick in Japan, Western Europe, and other parts of the world. It was first identified last year in Australia and called the Sydney strain.
In the U.S., it is now accounting for about 60 percent of norovirus outbreaks, according to report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Norovirus — once known as Norwalk virus — is highly contagious and often spreads in places like schools, cruise ships and nursing homes, especially during the winter. Last month, 220 people on the Queen Mary II were stricken during a Caribbean cruise.
Sometimes mistakenly called stomach flu, the virus causes bouts of vomiting and diarrhea for a few days.
Every two or three years, a new strain evolves — the last was in 2009. The Sydney strain's appearance has coincided with a spike in influenza, perhaps contributing to the perception that this is a particularly bad flu season in the U.S.
Ian Goodfellow, a prominent researcher at England's University of Cambridge, calls norovirus 'the Ferrari of viruses' for the speed at which it passes through a large group of people.
"It can sweep through an environment very, very quickly. You can be feeling quite fine one minute and within several hours suffer continuous vomiting and diarrhea," he said.
Health officials have grown better at detecting new strains and figuring out which one is the culprit. They now know that norovirus is also the most common cause of food poisoning in the U.S.
It's spread by infected food handlers who don't do a good job washing their hands after using the bathroom. But unlike salmonella and other foodborne illnesses, norovirus can also spread in the air, through droplets that fly when a sick person vomits.
"It's a headache" to try to control, said Dr. John Crane, a University of Buffalo infectious disease specialist who had to deal with a norovirus outbreak in a hospital ward a couple of years ago.
Each year, noroviruses cause an estimated 21 million illnesses and 800 deaths, the CDC says.
For those infected, there's really no medicine. They just have to ride it out for the day or two of severe symptoms, and guard against dehydration, experts said.
The illness even got the attention of comedian Stephen Colbert, who this week tweeted: "Remember, if you're in public and have the winter vomiting bug, be polite and vomit into your elbow."

It's been a couple of years since I was working on a conventional tug. I've been in the ATB world up to my eyeballs for the last eight years and I look at these temporary duty assignments with a mixed view. Although I love getting back to basics and exercising my skill sets, nothing grates on me worse than having my boat in the yard and me not being there to get the things I need done "my way".
That said, I can't worry about two boats at a time so the focus is presently on my current assignment, the tug Franklin Reinauer. So named for one of our late founding fathers and built for the company in 1980 or so. Not a large tug by today's standards but still a little bulldog of a boat. She's equipped with a nice little tow winch and a decent amount of horsepower. A five man crew and enough work to keep time flying by at a respectable rate. With quarters a lot tighter than those on the Nicole, she's kinda tiny really but comfortable in a cozy kind of way. Really cozy once you get in the upper house, basically a box on a stick.
Not so long ago she was one of the coast boats. Making runs anywhere and everywhere towing up to 70,000 bbl barges.
The work is now mostly assist work with an occasional barge delivery in either Newtown Creek, Jamaica Bay or Sewaren NJ. We made a trip to each during my few days aboard with a surprise or two.

Last week we had a very interesting and informative show with OSEM USA's President Izzet Ozdogan. The guest called in late due to circumstances beyond his control, but we still managed to get 20 minutes of the company's history and how Israel's own history impacted on it. We spoke about their exciting new kosher for Passover products and some of the company's all year round iconic products. If you missed it, you can hear the show right here (scroll down that page to: On Demand Episodes).
This coming Wednesday, The Kosher Scene Show's guest will be Paula Shoyer. She appeared on our original radio show and you can still hear the archived interview. A 1996 graduate of the Ritz Escoffier Ecole de Gastronomie Française in Paris, Paula Shoyer owns Paula's Parisian Pastries Cooking School in the Washington, DC. area. She recipe tested and edited Susie Fishbein's Kosher By Design Entertains and Kosher By Design Kids In The Kitchen. Paula is also the author of the brand new book The Kosher Baker. Not only is this a beautiful tome, the attention to detail in its execution, the direction given in the recipes, make its publication an unparalleled event among kosher cookbooks.
This time, Chef Paula will talk to us about Pessach baking, we hope you will listen to what promises to be an informative, entertaining and mouthwatering show. Please tune us in, at 8:00pm Eastern Time tomorrow evening, Wednesday, the 30th of March. We'll be expecting you, gentle reader. Give it a try, you'll like it!
