Consolata Lay Missionaries

The Lay Faithful are all called to share in the Mission of the Church

They will announce My glory To the nations. Is. 66:19

We, CONSOLATA LAY MISSIONARIES, are committed Christians of different backgrounds, ages, and professions journeying towards the sharing in the CHARISM of the FOUNDER of the Consolata Missionaries: Blessed Joseph Allamano.

We live our life “among the people”, and “with the people”, animated by a missionary spirit, attentive to the “least” among us, certain that the example of the “good done well, quietly” – in the words of Joseph Allamano—has the power to draw us and others to Christ. This is the way that we live our mission mandate “ad gentes” (to the nations).

The universal vocation to holiness is strictly connected to the universal vocation to mission: every Christian is called to holiness and mission.” RM 90

We are rooted in the Word of God
We are committed to become contemplatives in action by:
  • Cultivating a spirit of prayer and peace- making.
  • Celebrating and living the Eucharist in a spirit of service.
  • Living from the Center of the Divine Presence within us.
We are open to a process of on-going missionary formation as we:
  • Journey with the Consolata Missionary Sisters in order to come to know, experience, appreciate, discern the call, and embrace the Consolata Charism of Evangelization and Consolation.
  • Grow in our Christian vocation with the missionary spirit that inspired Joseph Allamano and shaped the life and mission of countless missionaries.
  • Develop a special love for Mary, the Mother of Jesus, under the title of “Consolata”.
  • Acquire a new awareness of our place and role, today, in Christ’s universal mission to the world.
We strive to live the Consolata Charism in our daily life as we are:
  • Inspired by the experience of Christ, the true Consolation of God for all peoples.
  • Inspired by Mary Consolata who put her life at the service of the Gospel.
  • Share the Gospel of Consolation in one’s own concrete life situation.
We are attentive and responsive to the “least” among us.

By being responsive to the cry of the needy, the marginalized, the victims of violence and injustice, the neglected—whether children, youth, aged, or ill– in our midst.

We witness our Christian-Charismatic call
  • By sharing the gift of Consolation we have received with all those we encounter on the paths of daily life and work.
  • By being courageous in affirming the Gospel of Life, Justice, and Peace in our family life, in the work place, and in the faith community of our Church.
We collaborate with the Consolata Mis-sionary Sisters and IMC.
  • By sharing the same Charism, creating times of common reflection, prayer, and celebration, and fostering a spirit of communion among individuals and groups.
  • By engaging in common initiatives and functions according to the times and possibilities.
We participate in the life and ministries of the Local Church as CLM
  • By being present and visible within the local faith community at worship and at work and by fostering a missionary vision of the Church.
  • By establishing and cultivating good inter-personal relationships as paths of Evangelizing and Consolation today.

Why Do We Exist?

In the concept Church—Communion, which is an aspect of the new evangelization, it is necessary that the laity occupy the place which has been reserved for them, and from us, the Consolata Sisters, it is request-ed that we be a support for the laity as they incarnate the Charism in their own lives and where they are called to transform the structures, so that the Reign of justice, peace and fraternity may come into the whole world.

(Report of the General Superior: “ 1999 Chapter )

“One Family around the Charism, that drinks from the same Fountain of life, one Family in which there is equality and not dependence in a relationship of appreciation and recip-rocal trust, a Family in which members are called to live and incarnate,according to one specific vocation, the face and heart of the Missionary Son called to be a presence and witness of the love of God who consoles His people.”

(Acts of the Chapter pg. 61)

Private Workout: Hollins, Johnson, Diaz, Kelly, Williams, Jeter

Private Workout: Hollins, Johnson, Diaz, Kelly, Williams, Jeter
Jun 09, 2006, 10:52 am
DraftExpress attended an incredibly intense workout between pre-draft sessions conducted by trainers David Thorpe and Rico Hines featuring Ryan Hollins, Alexander Johnson, Guillermo Diaz, Jeremy Kelly, Jamaal Williams and Pooh Jeter. The workout was attended by 15 NBA teams and numerous decision makers, including Larry Bird and Donnie Walsh of the Indiana Pacers, Larry Brown of the New York Knicks, Elgin Baylor of the Los Angeles Clippers, Chris Mullin of the Golden State Warriors, Sam Presti of the San Antonio Spurs and Kevin Pritchard and Nate McMillan of the Portland Trailblazers. Other teams in attendance included the Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves, Utah Jazz, Atlanta Hawks, Seattle Supersonics, Denver Nuggets, Washington Wizards, and Sacramento Kings.

The hour long workout was one of the most intense weve seen in the three years weve been doing this. Short drills like the pitch and fill and general shoot a rounds were followed by an extremely competitive 2 on 2 session that rotated the 6 players in and out in various game simulated situations in the half-court.

The action at this workout was a significant contrast to the sterile feel of the main event over at the Wide World of Sports complex. Being able to sit in such proximity to the action allowed for a far greater read into the emotion and effort being displayed by these athletes. While the Milkhouse is a great venue and the organization of the tournament is excellent, there is just too great a separation from the action while sitting so high above the court and being back on the floor watching the interplay between each player and seeing their facial features when competing brings the game to a new level.

Player Evaluations

Alexander Johnson, 6-9, Power Forward, Junior, Florida State

Absolutely the star of this workout, Johnson went a long way in solidifying his place in the first round with his performance and could even have moved himself into the teens. Johnson showed off everything he needed to show to prove his worth to an NBA team, whether it was with his rebounding, his mid-range shot, his toughness or with the sheer quickness in which he moves on the floor and gets off the ground.

Johnson's shot was money from the second he walked into the gym and until the workout ended. He showed great decision making when receiving the ball in the high post and taking what his extremely tall, long and athletic defender Ryan Hollins gave him. Johnson threw a number of jab-steps and shot-fakes at him to try and get him in the air; since Hollins did not bite, he was went ahead and elevated high off the ground and stroked the ball from 16-18 feet out almost every single time.

Johnson also impressed with his quick and explosive second leap, using it especially well on the glass. On one occasion, Johnson missed a shot about 6-7 feet from the basket, but immediately jumped up over Ryan Hollins to grab the rebound while maintaing the balance to score the putback. On his second leap, he didn't even need to gather himself, and was still able to easily get through Hollins to grab the putback.

Inside the post, he mixed up his back to the basket work nicely by facing the basket and using excellent counter moves to blow by or spin by his man explosivelly. The most impressive sequence of the workout came when Diaz came off a screen and threaded a pretty bounce pass to Johnson for a spin to his right shoulder and explosion off the ground for one of the most thunderous dunk we've ever witnessed in person, plus the foul. Being pushed away from the basket and forced to use his left hand, he got incredibly high off the ground and threw it down in so hard that had the entire gym in a state of disbelief.

When one of his teammates missed, Johnson was just quicker than anyone else on the floor to every single loose ball. His tenacity and physicality meant that he just wanted every ball more than anyone else. He used his strengh to get to wherever he wanted on the floor, but combined that with nible feet and terrific anticipation skills to leave an extremely strong impression. He made 9 of his 11 shots in the competitive 2 on 2 portion of the workout, and looked like he could have continued running for another few hours when it was finally done. Teams that were in attendance here like the Bulls, Timberwolves, Jazz, Pacers, Knicks, Hawks and Sonics could surely use a player in his mold who has a well-defined role on the floor and brings a workmanlike attitude to everything he does.

Guillermo Diaz, 6-1 ½, Junior PG/SG, Miami

Jonathan Watters

Facing questions about his size and lack of a true position, Diaz came out sizzling this afternoon, proving once and for all that there should be no questions about his ability to put the ball in the basket. While his shooting results during Mondays workout were somewhat inconclusive, Diaz showed picture perfect form here. His entire motion is completely effortless, with a high, quick release and perfect spin. He missed only a handful of shots the entire workout, from the beginning of the warm-ups to the end of the competitive two-on-two.

It was in the competitive portion of the workout where Diaz showed truly special scoring ability. He scored off the dribble in a variety of ways - whether it was flipping up soft floaters just over the outstretched arms of a hard-charging Ryan Hollins or pulling up off the dribble against Pooh Jeter, everything went in and everything looked pretty. Jeter tried hard to stay in front of him, but Diaz did a great job of using jab steps and fakes to create space, and even when Jeter did manage to cut him off, he was helpless against Diazs dazzling pull-up jumper. Diaz gets incredible elevation on his midrange jumper, and his form remains dazzling. He keeps his body in perfect control, and his release doesnt change. To put it simply, there are few players in the NBA that can pull up for this kind of elevated jumper with such success. In the end, Diaz hit 9-10 shot attempts in the 2-on-2. Considering the difficulty of the contested 3-pointers, floaters, and dribble drive jumpers he was taking, Diaz showed off downright spectacular scoring ability in this workout.

Of course, after all of this, the questions about size and true position have yet to be addressed. Diaz can make himself a lot of money if he can prove that he is a legitimate point guard, and had a chance to flaunt his floor general abilities in the competitive portion of this workout. Unfortunately, it was his scoring mentality that rose to the forefront. Diaz generally made good decisions, but they almost always ended with him shooting the ball. Alexander Johnson was getting good position on Hollins, and he probably didnt get as many looks as he should have. There were a couple of nice passes, but Diaz generally held on to the ball a bit too long and didnt read pick and rolls quite quickly enough. If Diaz is going to play the two, he is going to have to toughen up a bit. His body is quite toned and muscular, but he has a slight frame and didnt respond well to physical confrontations in this workout. It is easy to see him getting pushed around when matched up against NBA wings.

Make no mistake about it, Diaz put on a spectacular scoring show here. His ability to maintain his shooting touch in the air and on the move is first rate, and there will be a place for this in the NBA. If Diaz is able to prove that he can play some lead guard, a much wider range of suitors will emerge.

Jeremy Kelly, 6'4, Point Guard, Senior, Tennessee-Martin

Joe Treutlein

In this, our third viewing of Kelly in a workout setting, he continued to impress and intrigue about his potential as a tall and extremely strong point guard. His natural point guard abilities were not on display in this setting, which consisted of 2-on-2 scrimmages and some full court drills, but he impressed with the rest of his game.

The first thing you notice about him is his impressive physical attributes. He's 6'4 with long arms and a very strong build, possessing a chiseled, large upper body. He uses his body well on the defensive end, where he plays intense, in-your-face defense, using his strength, quick feet and long arms to contain his opponent. He has good hands, which he showed by poking at the ball here a few times, including a clean pick on the perimeter of the 5'10 Pooh Jeter. He played some good prevent defense at times, too, using his length and lateral quickness to get in between his own man and the man with the ball, preventing the pass to him. He showed some defensive versatility when matched with Jamaal Williams, a 6'6 PF from the University of Washington, bodying up to him in the post and mid-range. His toughness and terrific motor were always on display throughout the workout, which had to make a strong impression on the many decision makers in attendance.

Offensively, he showed a potent inside-out game, using his explosiveness to get past his man and to the rim as well as scoring from the outside on his shot, which has improved considerably in the few months since he's graduated. The mechanics on his shot are solid, as he has a high release, good follow through, and is consistent with his motion. His release could be a little quicker, but he's made excellent progress on his outside shot in the short time he's been working here with his trainer David Thorpe. In the 2-on-2 scrimmages, he hit a few fadeaway jumpers from the mid range as well as one shot from behind the NBA three-point arc, coming around a screen to get space for his shot. He also shot the ball fairly well in the warm-ups prior to the scrimmage. On one occasion in the scrimmage, Kelly missed an outside shot, but quickly reacted to it, blew past his man on the perimeter, and explosively grabbed his own rebound and made the putback attempt.

Kelly did not show any point guard abilities in the 2-on-2 scrimmages, except for feeding the post to teammate Alexander Johnson on a few occasions. He has improved on his outside shot in a very short period of time, which was previously his biggest weakness coming out of college. This, along with his physical characteristics and impressive athleticism make him a very intriguing prospect, though it's still yet to be seen how well he can play the point guard position against higher-level competition in a 5-on-5 setting. He's had some private workouts with NBA teams already, and with his impressive performance here, along with the fact that 15 NBA teams were on hand for the workout, he should have many more lined up leading up to the draft. He might not get drafted, but should still get plenty of chances to catch on somewhere in summer league.

Ryan Hollins, 70, Center/Forward, Senior, UCLA

Eric Weiss

Hollins physical ability is top-notch for a player his size. Hollins has a lithe, long build with solid upper body strength and a slim waist. His mobility is excellent as he can run the floor as well as any big in this draft. Hollins has explosive power and quickness when attacking the rim. Having the opportunity to watch Hollins workout the day before, it was obvious that trainer Rico Hines had done his job preparing his player for maximum endurance while maintaining his explosive lift throughout. Hollins also possesses some nice skills for a big man. His mid range jumper is consistently solid from 15-17 feet and he can finish softly or with authority around the rim. Hollins also was extremely vocal and showed tremendous passion throughout the competitive work.

As far as weaknesses are concerned, there are a few things that Hollins must work on to be a top of the rotation player in the NBA. During the competitive workout, Hollins lost focus in a number of different instances. This was something that showed itself a bit the previous day when he had to be reminded on a few occasions on what to do during a given drill. In the competitive workout, Hollins got caught ball-watching when the guards had the ball. This caused him to be out of position for a number of rebounds, but also seemed to be a principle factor in his biggest flaw, composure. It is common for players to jaw at each other and be physical, which Hollins certainly was. But, physicality must be used within the context of game play and Hollins allowed Johnsons constant contact and work to take away his focus and start reacting with inappropriate retaliatory elbows and shoving.

Overall, Hollins has great physical tools to make a living in the NBA. As a seven footer with his skill set and athleticism, he should have no trouble finding a spot for himself on the next level. Hard work and dedication to improvement will determine just how much success Hollins has on that next level. It is clear that Hollins has put a tremendous amount of work in developing his physical strength and endurance, so he has the mental toughness to work thats for sure. But, Hollins must also work on his feel for the game and learn how to apply his physical gifts to the nuances of the game that are critical for high level success.

Jamaal Williams, 6'6, Forward, Senior, Washington

Eric Weiss

Physically, Williams is built solidly having a thick frame and wide shoulders that hold his 230 pounds well. At 66 he as good size for the small forward position. While Williams doesnt have an athletic looking build he possesses solid physical strength and has the ability to finish strongly around the rim. Williams first step is not exceptionally quick, but he uses his body well to create space and lane penetration opportunities to get the score
Skills wise, Williams has a very nice touch from the perimeter having range out to the college 3 point line. His shooting form isnt 100 percent fundamental, but it is 100 percent consistent. Williams releases the ball above his head and uses only wrist to get a soft and arching trajectory on the ball. Williams uses his body quite well when around the rim and showed his power forward mentality on the block playing against a superior athlete in Jeremy Kelly. When Williams got the ball down low he was able to create some space to get his shot off cleanly. Though he was tightly contested on most every possession Williams still maintained his touch and composure when going for the finish using spins and body contact to free himself up for the shot.

Williamss biggest weaknesses at this point are ball-handling and conditioning. Williams looks far more comfortable on the block then he does out on the perimeter with the exception of his fine shooting touch. Williams doesnt have the ability to ball handle effectively enough to play on the perimeter against NBA caliber wing defenders at this point. Lateral mobility could be a problem at this distance from the basket as well, so Williams would have to use superior technique and aggressive ball pressure to effectively guard the wing. Williams conditioning is not where it needs to be yet, though he has come a long way in this regard over such a short period of time working with coach Hines. Williams has yet to reach his maximum physical potential as an athlete and must do so before he can entertain ideas of moving away from the post.

Overall, Williams is a creative low post scorer who has the benefit of being able to shoot from the perimeter, which makes him a difficult match up at the 4 position. But, as a three he doesnt posses the ball handling ability or foot speed to play out on the perimeter on the next level. As a European power forward Williams would have a good chance at making some serious money, and more importantly, get some serious playing time which is vital for continuing his development.

Pooh Jeter, 510, Point Guard, Senior, Portland

Eric Weiss

Jeter is not extremely tall, but he makes up for this to some degree with his excellent quickness and sturdy frame. Jeter has a strong build for a point guard and displayed good core strength to go along with excellent conditioning. During the drill work the day before competitive play, Jeter showed his ability to finish nicely on a number of acrobatic shots that were indicative of his body control. For a smaller player, Jeter showed plenty of speed and quickness, which are essential for someone his size. Jeter gets up of the ground quickly enough to create space for his shot, though hes not going to be able to just drive at will into the lane against larger competition.

Jeter has some good point guard skills to work with. He has excellent control of the ball with his dribble, using both his left and right hand equally as well. His handle allows him to use change of direction dribbles with decisive speed into the move, which is how hes able to get free for making plays. Jeters footwork is also good. He uses the combination of dribble and switch-stance footwork to keep his defender guessing. Going against a larger and faster opponent in Guillermo Diaz, Jeter still got into position to make some shots. Although he didnt have much success converting his bucket opportunities, Jeter was absolutely lights out during the intense drill work the day before. Considering that his form was the same during drill work and competitive play it doesnt seem to be a concern that he can make shots.

Overall there are some weaknesses that Jeter will have to overcome. For one, his size is something that will be a concern for any team who works him out. While there are plenty of successful examples of players who overcome height disadvantages, it is still going to be something he will be measured by at first site. Also, while Jeter is quick, he doesnt posses blazing speed or amazing explosive lift like Earl Boykins or Nate Robinson. So, Jeter will have to rely more on technique to make things happen. But, Jeter shows a great work ethic and tremendous heart when competing on the floor and will push himself to the limit of his endurance without complaint. His conditioning is top-notch as well. Many point guards like Jeter have gone overseas and realized tremendous success at high levels. Some players benefit from the experience and improve their games enough to come back and have an impact in the NBA. Regardless of what path Jeter chooses to go, he will be paid to play this game and should be a developing asset for whomever he plays for.

Drug tests for federal workers

Who can doubt Ronald Reagan's sincerity when he calls for a drug-free America? After all, the President produced a sample of his urine for analysis last year and asked his Cabinet and White House staff to do the same. When he ordered 1 million federal workers in "sensitive" jobs to submit to drug testing, however, he did not explain how it would be administered. The answer came last week, but the complex guidelines seem to create a combination of Big Brother and high school bathroom monitors -- a sort of Big John.

What do you do towards the end of your ride?

By Kathy Farrokhzad Do you find yourself hopping off

shortly after you’re done with the “les- son” part of your ride? It’s tempting to do a few minutes of walking just to loosen your horse up a little and leave it at that. But do you know that there are many excellent exercises you can use to cool off and also build on your skills and communication with your horse? If you can make these exercises a

ter C or A and head in a straight line parallel to the rail. Now apply your inside leg and ask your horse to step forward-sideways back to the rail. Be sure to keep the horse’s body straight while you step side- ways, as walking back to the rail in a diagonal line isn’t correct. You can have the horse

part of your routine, you might be pleas- antly surprised at how easily your horse will pick up the new skills, and how the repetition will help you in your position and use of the seat and legs. The more you practice, the easier the movements will become, and practicing them at the walk will set you and your horse up for having an easier time transitioning to the trot and canter. Doing these exercises at the walk

will give you time to better use your aids. They will also give your horse time to learn to respond. It’s a win-win all around, and adding them to the tail end (pun!) of your ride on a regular basis will ensure that you actually do devote enough time to make good progress.

Leg Yield to The Rail This one is a very basic movement

that you can teach young and uneducated horses.

flexed slightly to the outside (so you can see the corner of the horse’s outside eye) but the neck should be straight. If the horse leans one way or the other, just abort the leg yield, re-establish your good walk, then try again.

Walk Up Center Line and Halt, Back and Walk First off, walking a straight

line without any walls to help you might be challenging enough. Then, practice halting. You can halt at different spots on the line each time, so the horse doesn’t learn to anticipate. Ideally, you will use very little rein (half-halt preferred) and the horse should stop when your seat stops. Then count to 10 while standing still. Keep your reins straight and ‘on” because you will back up in a moment. After a stationary halt, apply your

Come off the rail just after the let-

legs as you continue to hold the reins. The horse should give a forward-inclina-

ference in your posture) to invite the horse to use his back. Halt again after a designated number of steps (4 or 6 steps should be fine). Then walk on. Make sure your new walk is straight and active. Con- tinue until the end of the ring and turn.

Medium Walk/Stretchy Walk/Medium Walk This movement occurs in many of

tion before heading backwards using di- agonal pairs of legs. Lighten your seat bones just a bit (not enough for an on- looker to see the dif-

the rail at the corner and head across the diagonal to change di- rections. Maintain an active walk, and use your seat to ask the horse to take the reins out of your hands. Note that you don’t give the reins to the horse, but vice versa. The horse should stretch his neck down, head out and keep marching on in a forward striding, ground covering walk. Feel for the “trampoline” feeling of the swing of the back. Then a few strides before the end

the dressage tests but aside from preparing for shows, it’s one of my favorite ways to teach the horse to swing through the back and then keep that loose back while re-es- tablishing contact. Start with medium walk. Come off

of the diagonal, pick up the reins again, establish contact and keep marching. See if you can keep the swing you estab- lished during the stretch, even though the horse’s outline is shorter now. Horses will often slow down or back off the bit as contact is being taken up, so it takes quite a lot of practice to teach the horse to walk into the contact and stay active through the corner. I hope these three exercises will

give you some structured ideas to add to your ride. If you do each of these exer- cises a few times each way, you can add 10 minutes or more to your ride, at the walk, allowing the horse to cool down physically and cool off mentally. They will also add a repertoire of skills and in- crease communication between you and your horse.

Comment on: : Boring, common, unoriginal, monotonous. Originally from the standard soldier's gun developed in 1908. Every soldier had it. Later (1915) that gun was reworked and enhanced. The name for that gun was 0815 by then. But it was still the standard gun. As it was something very common and nothing special Germans began to use that expression to describe boring "standard"- things. Details

> Copper Cannon Camp - Health and Safety at Camp

Health and Safety

At Copper Cannon Camp, the safety of your children always has been and always will remain our first priority. There are many reasons you can count on Copper Cannon to be a safe, healthy and educational place for your child.

ACA Accredited

The American Camping Association has a strict and extensive set of guidelines for camp health and safety. Copper Cannon Camp proudly continues to be an ACA-accredited camp that helps set the standard for program quality and safety.

Staff:Camper Ratio

Copper Cannon Camp maintains an incredible 1:3 staff to camper ratio. We ensure our campers get individual attention and are also properly supervised at all times. That being said, potential campers need to be able to function in a group setting. Our staff are not trained to provide 1:1 supervision of children.

Staff Training and Certification

All staff members go through an extensive screening process including a background and criminal record check. This process ensures only the highest-quality staff and counselors are selected to be a part of Copper Cannon Camp. All of our staff are First Aid and CPR certified. Once hired, our staff go through an intensive 10-day training course before camp begins to ensure that camp will operate at our expected standards.

Healthy Meals

A large part of our program is encouraging healthy eating habits at meal times. All meals have fruits, vegetables and a salad bar. Meals are created with both quality and nutrition in mind, so you can be sure that your child is getting proper nutrition for the week they are at camp.

Sunscreen and Water

catsProper hydration and sunscreen application are always a big deal in the summer, but even more so during the summer. We ensure that every camper has a water bottle with them at all times so they can stay hydrated. There are various areas around camp where campers can refill their water bottles. We teach our campers about the process of dehydration and how to avoid it. We also teach our campers how to be “Sun Smart”, which means wearing plenty of sunscreen, wearing hats and sunglasses, and seeking shade when necessary. Camp has plenty of misting station, water stations and our river and pond to stay cool.

Emergency Communication

You will be notified immediately if there is ever an emergency at camp involving your child.. Our first attempt is by phone and the second is by email. Therefore, it is imperative that parents and guardians provide us with up-to-date contact information. If there is ever a need to evacuate the entire camp, we will take refuge at the nearby Littleton Elks Lodge. Because we are a smaller camp, an emergency event such as an evacuation will be a smooth and quick process. Ambulance and paramedic services are less than three miles away in the rare occurrence of a medical emergency.

Illness or Health Issues

If your child is sick or has been sick before coming to camp or has had any health issues recently before attending camp, please let us know. We can determine the best course of action to keep your child and the other campers healthy and safe. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with us at info@coppercannon.org or by phone at (603) 823-8107.

Search results matching tags 'upgrade' and 'mc7',mc7&orTags=0Search results matching tags 'upgrade' and 'mc7'en-USCommunityServer 2008 SP2 (Build: 31106.96)Switching from FCP7 to MC7, 25 Jan 2014 18:33:01 GMT33dbc7b4-0359-4be4-a659-9f674152ccc7:718140A.king
Hi all,

I am a fcp7 editor looking to make the switch to MC7 since it seems to be the industry standard and the best shot at getting more work.

I know there will be a learning curve, but my main concern is whether or not my imac will be able to run avid MC7 efficiently. Here are my specs:
 iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2010
Processor  3.2 GHz Intel Core i3

Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB

Software  OS X 10.9.1

1tb sata disk

lacie 500gb external harddrive (needs upgrading)

Lacie 2tb cloudbox NAS (for archiving projects and footage)
 Already decided to upgrade the ram to 16gb, but besides that, will I be able to make this work?  I run FCP7 without any major render times and Premiere Pro was such an issue with lagging that I got rid of it. I mainly edit h.264 files from canon dslrs and have to convert to pro-res before bringing into fcp7 which can be a pain so IDK if MC7 runs h.264 natively or not, but I am hoping it does. Anyway, any insight would be greatly appreciated and if I am missing any extra hardware needed to make this work please let me know. Thank you! AustinRe: Media Composer 7 - NOW AVAILABLE, 06 Sep 2013 03:45:46 GMT33dbc7b4-0359-4be4-a659-9f674152ccc7:703421tikboy
Hello! Is it pretty safe to assume that Frameflex is the improvement of Avid Pan&Zoom?

first_img(L-R) Commissioner of LIS, Col. Reeves, Sr.,LRA’s Commissioner General Elfrieda Stewart Tamba and Labor Minister KollieThe Ministry of Labor in partnership with the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) and the Liberia Immigration Service (LIS) yesterday began a vigorous and comprehensive nationwide compliance inspection exercise in the country. The exercise is intended for all employers to regularize the status of every alien employee within their employ and also make full disclosure on all alien employees within their workplace(s).The move, according to Labour Minister Moses Y.

Lemuel E. Reeves, Sr., reiterated Minister Kollie’s of the objective of the joint enforcement exercise to ensure that employers voluntary compliance by the law of Liberia.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)last_img read more

Journalists Cautioned in Reporting Rape Cases

first_imgThe former Prosecutor of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) cases at Criminal Court “E” at the Temple of Justice, Cllr. George Sagbeh, has cautioned journalists to be prudent in reporting on rape cases.The legal prosecutor at the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) maintained that journalists should be keenly aware of the power of using (descriptive) language, especially at the beginning of reporting an incident of rape.Cllr. Sagbeh spoke at a 5-day training of media practitioners organized by UN Women held in Ganta, Nimba County recently.He said “Sexual violence is an act that someone is subjected to and the language used to describe the situation should show the non-consensual nature of the act. Journalists must write the story as it happens, and leave no room for doubt.”Cllr. Sagbeh, who served as one of the facilitators, said it is important for journalists to be careful in reporting rape cases because he or she is not a part of the incident and therefore they are not third-parties to the crime.The former SGBV prosecutor who has prosecuted rape cases for the last five years said journalists are not to report rape cases without using the police charge sheet, which he pointed out, is a document from the legal authority of said case and the story will be authentic.He said most of the communities are becoming sexually toxic quarters and “It is common for newspapers and radio outlets to use terms like sexual assault or sexual abuse when reporting on SGBV crimes.”The counselor said a sexual offense story has to be written or broadcast to attract the readers’ attention, using the when, where and how methods of reporting.He said in writing SGBV stories, journalists must know that sexual violence is a continuation of the behaviors that include but are not limited to rape and sexual assaults among other SGBV activities.Acts of sexual violence are crimes committed without consent, “sometimes with violence and coercion, sometimes against the most vulnerable among us,” he said.Cllr. Sagbeh called on members of the Liberia Media to stop writing ‘parochial stories’ that do not portray the actual story or the incident reported about because by doing that, the journalistic profession will be undermined and the credibility of the writer will be questioned by the public.The former SGBV prosecutor said the details of writing rape stories must usually be against the perpetrators, “But it is also important to avoid naming the victim.”Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)last_img read more

first_imgMayor Paschal Blake and Cllr Gerry Mc Monagle with the Staff and Voluntary Mangement of Letterkenny CDP supporting the White Ribbon CampaignLetterkenny Sinn Fein Councillor Gerry Mc Monagle has called on     the Government to deliver on the Programme for Government commitment to consolidate and reform domestic violence legislation.The Sinn Fein Councillor said yesterday marked the first of 16 days of action against violence against women. The Programme for Government commits to delivering consolidated and reformed domestic violence legislation.“Despite one in five women experiencing domestic violence the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter, has stated on regular occasions that he has more urgent legislative matters to attend to in respect of the troika programme. This is just not good enough when one reads the statistics from last year’s Women’s Aid Annual Report.”In the Women’s Aid annual report for 2012, there were shocking details of the extent of Domestic Violence visited upon women including, 14,792 incidents of Domestic Violence. Amongst the other statistics released were 9,912 incidents of emotional abuse, 2,859 reports of physical abuse and 1,554 incidents of financial abuse. There were also 467 incidents of sexual abuse including 176 rapes.“With regards the European Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence the Justice Minister has cited property rights as a difficultly to Ireland signing up, but has not offered any solutions. “Domestic violence is a very real and increasing problem for women and their children that need’s an urgent response from government, not just in delivering on its legislative commitments but also in ensuring the necessary supports and services are appropriately resourced.” GOVT MUST ACT ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LEGISLATION – McMONAGLE was last modified: November 28th, 2013 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:gerry mcmonagleSinn Feinlast_img read more

Scheepers wins maiden WTA Tour title

first_imgSAinfo reporter “The title means a lot to me because I’ve worked so hard, to finally win one is really rewarding.” Before her win on Saturday, Coetzer was the last South African to win a WTA trophy, way back in 2003 in Acapulco, Mexico. “In my junior days, when I lived in Harrismith in my native Free State, Amanda invited and sponsored Karin Coetzee and Noleen Uys, mother of former Pro Player Rene Uys, to go with me on a trip to the USA where I went to train at her training base, the Dennis van der Meer Academy. I was 12 and will never forget the influence that had on my young career.” Would you like to use this article in your publication or on your website? See: Using SAinfo material “My congratulations go out to Chani on winning her first title,” said Coetzer, from Los Angeles. ‘Really happy’“I’m really happy to have won my first WTA Tournament. It meant even more, because every match on route to the final I had to fight back from behind to win it. “I will definitely take a lot of confidence out of this tournament. Nothing changes next week, though. I will still go out and compete for every point win or lose. I’m also really excited at this stage of my life to find out what I am truly capable of. “It’s great that a South African has once again taken the podium on the WTA Tour,” she concluded. Easiest matchScheepers had her easiest match of the week in disposing of the eighth-seed Rybarikova in the final. ‘Everything seemed to click’“All of my other matches were really tough, but today was the day everything seemed to click,” Scheepers said after her victory. Prior to that, she had battled through each round with three-set victories on every occasion, including having to fight back from 4-1 down in the deciding set to beat top seed Maria Kirilenko in the semi-finals. Scheepers also saved match point in her second round match against Hsieh Su-Wei. Scheepers took just under an hour-and-a-half in beating her under-par opponent, who had won her previous two WTA finals. Her reward, on Monday, was a career-best singles ranking of 41. At the end of 2010, her ranking was 107.center_img Former world number three Amanda Coetzer has praised Chani Scheepers after the current South African number one claimed her maiden WTA Tour title in the Wanlima International Women’s Open in Guanzhou, China on Saturday. “She has proved to us all and herself her capabilities and now she has to prove to us all and herself that she can consistently compete at the top and win more titles. “Being the first [South African] since Amanda Coetzer [to win a WTA Tour title] is the cherry on the cake.” Scheepers’ 6-2, 6-2 victory over Magdalena Rybarikova in the final ended an eight-year title drought for South Africa. Previously, Scheepers had not been beyond the quarterfinals of any WTA tournament. “I thought I was hitting my groundstrokes well today. I was really consistent and tried to move her around. I didn’t give her a lot of mistakes. I played well. “I don’t remember much about the match point. I was so in the moment. I know it was a long point, but it seemed so long ago. “I have always believed Chani has these capabilities and have watched her progress with interest. I wish her all the best going forward and congratulate her on this important breakthrough. 26 September 2011 “Every match before the final was difficult. It seemed like I was fighting every match and all of them were hard in their own way. ‘Congratulations’ Emulating CoetzerScheepers said to emulate Coetzer was really special. “Amanda has always been a player I have looked up to.last_img read more

Spot Clearing Hacks: Blogmas#16

I’ve had my few shares of horrible spot breakouts over the years and I still get them today. I still panic when I get spots because some come up like huge flying saucers on my face or look like bright red volcanoes. But I do have a few hacks to decreasing their size, reducing redness and drying them up to make the process of them disappearing…faster.

Sudocrem is my holy grail product for clearing spots. I don’t know what wonders it contains but it is used for near enough everything. I think it’s traditionally used for baby nappy rashes and anything sore but it is brilliant for drying out spots. At night I wash and cleanse my face, put on a face cream (to be revealed later), pop a small bit of sudocrem on my spots and leave it on overnight.
Toothpaste is another alternative if you don’t have any sudocrem. Toothpaste does dry out the skin rather quickly so you only need the tiniest amount on your spot or blemish. It can sting depending on how strong your toothpaste is (good brands tend to sting more than supermarket own).

I’ve used this product as a primer underneath my makeup for over a year now and it leaves my skin feeling absolutely incredible. My foundation applies beautifully if I’ve put it on and plus it works great as a skin detox. I have really oily skin which I’m convinced is why I break out in spots quite often – so I’ve tried to train my skin to not produce as much oil if I use oily products. So this product leaves my skin feeling very fresh and is training the oil to stay at bay, so if you’re like me then definitely give this a try. But for the spot factor, I apply this after I’ve washed and cleansed my face in the evening. I put this on before bed and my skin feel so fresh, clean and healthy.
I know this one is so much easier said than done but do not touch your spots. If you’re like me and love popping spots (so gross but I love it) it’s really hard to not want to pop spots. I would only pop a spot if it’s “ready to go” because if you try squeezing it and it’s not ready, all it’s going to do is aggravate your skin and spread bacteria to other areas of your face and create more spots. If you pop a spot, put some sudocrem or toothpaste straight on, embrace the sting, and let it dry up.

Face masks are great for drying out my oily skin – particularly charcoal masks. Again, because I have oily skin I like to use things that are drying and this is perfect for spots too. If I can feel a break out coming or if I’ve broken out in a load of spots then I’ll use a face mask to dry them out and reduce the redness.
I know that sometimes we all need to pile on the makeup to cover our spots for work, school or a night out, but if you’re just sat at home then avoid putting on makeup. Let your skin breathe. Let your spots dry naturally so makeup doesn’t clog your pores and irritate your spots even more. If you avoid makeup then your skin is likely to clear up quicker.

Water color vs acrylics

For beginners, it might nots seem so, but there are major differences between acrylic paints and water colors.  There are major differences in the way the two are made and also the way you can use them but the two also share some similarities.

While both paints are water soluble, they have major differences in their use and outcome. Some differences are in the color, usability and many other factors.

Water color vs acrylics – synthetic vs natural ingredients

Most water colors are all made from natural ingredients and some have a synthetic binder in them. The ingredients may vary depending on the manufacturer. Water colors have three main ingredients; a natural gum, color pigment and synthetic/Arabic glycol.  Other ingredients include honey, ox gall, glycerine and preservatives that alter the pigment, hiding, durability and viscosity of the paint.

Acrylics, on the other hand, are all man made. A typical acrylic tube should contain acrylic resin, a pigment and a binder. Both paints are water soluble.

Types of water colors vs types of acrylics

Water colors normally come in pans and tubes while acrylics are in bottles, jars and smaller tubes depending on the amount you need.  Water colors mainly come in solid form that you have to mix up with water. Acrylics on the other hand come in fluid consistency, some acrylics have different degrees of drying, some acrylics are re-workable and others are really heavy bodies.

Where the two paints can be used

Watercolors can only be used on paper and similar surfaces but acrylics pave way for a wide range of uses. Water color has special paper that is designed to absorb the paints the best. You can use them on different surfaces including wood, paper, canvas and more.

Acrylic vs watercolors – paint and style

Acrylic paint is more universal as it can be used to simulate water color as well as used in very thick layer for an impasto effect. Water color on the other hand cannot be used in the same ways as acrylic paints.

When using acrylics, we normally start off with the dark colors and work our way up to the lighter ones. For watercolors it is the other way around. You start off with the light colors and work while adding darker ones.

For water colors, you can find ranges opaque to transparent. they are also manly created to produce transparent painting or ones with less intense color. Acrylic paint is brighter and more intense when it comes to the finish.

To lighten an acrylic paint, you simply have to ass a titanium white acrylic paint to the color. With water colors, white color or paint cannot be used because it makes the colors appear opaque. This is why water color is used on white paper as the best canvas.

Similarities in use

Water color and acrylic paints are very similar in that they are water soluble. The main difference is in the way they are used with the water. You need to dilute the water colors much more than you would acrylics.

Episode 27: The New Way to Read – Snippet | CJ Alvarado from the Snippet App

CJ Alvarado

CJ Alvarado

CJ Alvarado recently developed a new app called Snippet.  The Snippet App will change the way we read books and consume information.  It’s essentially Twitter for books as each chapter is only allowed to have 1,000 words meaning that you’ll be able to get to the “meat” of the content right from the get go.

CJ Alvarado is the CEO of Bamboo Creative and creator of the Snippet App.  Snippet believes reading a book should be quick, rich and engaging.  Writers and readers should be able to connect, share and discover in entirely new ways.

CJ got involved in the online world at an early age.  He started his first Internet company in his early 20’s by helping musicians put information out online.  He tried to help artists distribute their content and music online by integrating multimedia to push music and create brands.

Bamboo Creative is a design and innovation company and they have a service side by helping organizations with app development and they have an innovation arm to generate ideas for companies and for themselves.  They work on ideas and develop them into products.

A lot of businesses are not sure how to navigate the online world and are unsure about what the future looks like in their business.  Bamboo Creative will help them generate their new ideas that represent their core values.  For them it’s been a great success.

Lately, one of the coolest things CJ has done was creating the Snippet App and it’s one of the most exciting things he’s working on right now.

Snippet is a mobile reading app and publishing platform.  They limit their chapters to a 1,000 words max, but they incorporate pictures, audio, videos and social media making it easy to absorb information and it’s priced in a way that consumers will love.

CJ has tried to make something that appeals to the changing culture and how people are consuming information.  It will allow you to move through a Snippet and gives them an opportunity to absorb the content so you feel like it’s easier to connect with the author and the ideas presented into the book.  Snippet makes it really easy to connect with the community and to hear what they’re talking about.

Snippet just launched slightly over a month ago.and went to the top of the best sellers list almost immediately.  They’ve had a group of 25 content creators and the day they launched they had 425 authors who were interested in creating content.  They’ve had Pat Flynn from the Smart Passive Income blog, Bee Bosnak, a yoga instructor, Alejandro Reyes, Shawn Murphy, Ted Coine and more exciting folks coming down the pipeline.

The Snippet App

The Snippet App

CJ recommends reading the Alchemist because it’s a fantastic book that focuses on the importance of listening to your heart and your passions and acting on them.

A lot of the research that CJ has done is showing that our reading habits are definitely changing.  He believes we’re reading in different ways, but that we’re consuming more content at different times of the day.

You can go to the SnippetApp.com you can sign up as a writer and you can create your own Snippet (if you’re approved).

The best-selling Snippet so far is Pat Flynn’s Snippet, Let Go.  It’s a phenomenal read and he encourages everyone to read it.

Engaging Discussion Questions:

  • Do you think the way we are consuming information is changing?
  • Do you think social media is a great way to interact with books?

Links to Great Stuff:

  • Bamboo Creative – “We think, create, tinker, and build. We are a passionate group of creatives that love seeing people explore and develop their creativity and ideas.”
  • Snippet App – “Like Twitter for books, we limit the word count to1,000 words max per chapter (unlimited chapters). So, in essence, we’re between a tweet and an e-book. Now as a writer, you can get new ideas to market faster, share expertise, test new book ideas, create companion pieces, or tell entirely new stories—all in less time.”
  • Pat Flynn – “I’m Pat. I’m a 30 year old dude from Southern California who makes a living on the internet. I consider myself the luckiest person on Earth.”
  • Bee Bosnak – “I began my yoga experience with Iyengar in a small and cozy studio in Los Angeles. One day, I discovered Core Power Yoga and there, as I sat in lotus pose in a 100 degree room, I knew this was it. It was the feeling I felt that made me want to go back for more. I had found a physical path that harmonized my mind, body and my soul. After moving to the Pacific North West in 2010, to a city called Portland, I decided to take my practice to the next level. Through CPY I became a certified Power Vinyasa yoga teacher, and for the first time, I began to see the world through a wider lens.”
  • Alejandro Reyes – “I want to help you get famous!  No I’m not talking about getting on TMZ or Keeping up with the Kardashians, I’m talking about having more influence & impact to grow your income.”
  • Shawn Murphy and Ted Coine – “There’s a better way to do business. Better from the human side. Better from the customer side. And as it turns out, better from the profit side as well. This blog is dedicated to exploring that better way. On this site, leadership authors, speakers and consultants Shawn Murphy and Ted Coiné have combined their blogs to amplify their message. Shawn’s focus is on the executives and managers within an organization. Ted’s is targeted more at the C-suite and the board.”

Success Quotes:

  • From Einstein, “Try not to become a success, but rather a man of value.”
  • “How are these reading habits change and how can we meet those needs in a new and creative way?”

Crostini Canape Ideas

All of the below recipes are very quick and simple to make and as you will see, several of them use the same ingredients in different combinations, so you can make multiple variations without having to buy a large number of different ingredients. Crostini are ideal for entertaining as they are quick and easy to make, they are always really popular with guests and with a variety of colourful toppings they can look really visually striking when presented on a tray at drinks parties, dinners or just for a night in with friends and family. Our Crostini are also vegan-friendly (as are many of our savoury biscuits and breadsticks products), so they are a great solution if you have any vegan guests coming round.

All of the below recipes work really well with Crosta & Mollica Oregano Crostini as they have quite a subtle flavour which combines well with a wide variety of toppings. Because Crosta & Mollica Crostini Chilli are a little more flavoured, they tend to work better with ingredients which would naturally go with chilli, for example they would work well with Mozzarella, Tomato & Basil, or with a simple cream cheese topping, but they might be too strongly flavoured for the Smoked Salmon recipe for example. However ultimately everyone’s flavour preferences are different, so why not get creative and try out a few different combinations at home and see which you think works best (there is no right or wrong!)

We have included a mixture of vegan, vegetarian, meat and fish toppings in our list below, but the possibilities are endless, so do email us at and let us know if you have any other ideas which work particularly well.

Black Olive & Roasted Vegetables

  • Black Olive Tapenade
  • Roasted or pan-seared Red Peppers / Courgette / Aubergine (one vegetable per Crostino)
  • Fresh Basil leaf to garnish

For this recipe, you can either buy fresh vegetables and prepare them at home, or to save time, the supermarkets sell ready roasted vegetables in olive oil which also work well for this type of canapé.  The peppers/courgette/aubergine can either be pan-seared in a griddle pan or roasted in Extra Virgin Olive oil in the oven (add sea salt and pepper to taste after cooking).  Spread a thin layer of Black Olive Tapenade on the Crostini and then add thinly sliced pieces of the roasted/pan-seared vegetables, using one type of vegetable per canapé.  Another variation on this recipe is to swap the Black Olive Tapenade for either Green or Red Pesto.  For an additional touch of colour, add a small fresh basil leaf on top of the sliced vegetables.

Red Pepper Houmous

  • Red Pepper Houmous
  • Black Olive or Fresh Basil Leaf to garnish

Mozzarella, Tomato & Basil

  • Mozzarella / Burrata
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Fresh Basil or Fresh Oregano

You can either use fresh cow’s milk Mozzarella, Buffalo Mozzarella, or Burrata for this recipe (just bear in mind that Burrata has a liquid cream centre, so this may be a messier option!).  The large balls of cheese work best for this recipe as they have more flavour than the Mozzarella pearls.  Just tear the cheese into small pieces (around a quarter of a ball per Crostino), add half a cherry tomato and a small fresh basil leaf or a sprig of fresh Oregano to garnish.  An alternative to the Basil is to use good quality pitted Black Olives as a garnish.  To give the tomatoes extra flavour you can pan-sear or oven roast them with Extra Virgin olive oil, sea salt and pepper.  Another alternative option is to add a splash of Balsamic Vinegar to the roasting pan alongside the olive oil to give them tomatoes a deliciously sweet and slightly sour flavour.  To provide some added colour variation, you can buy trays of mixed colour cherry tomatoes or heritage tomatoes and then use different colour tomatoes on each one.  Mozzarella and Basil also work well with roasted red peppers, courgettes or aubergines if you want to create different vegetable-based variations on this canapé.

Black Olive, Sun-dried Tomato & Basil

  • Black Olive Tapenade
  • Sun-dried Tomatoes (or other roasted vegetable in olive oil from a jar)
  • Fresh Basil leaf to garnish
Crostini Canape Ideas by Crosta & Mollica

Pesto & Prosciutto

  • Green Basil Pesto
  • Prosciutto di Parma ham

Spread a thin layer of green basil pesto on the Crostini (either pesto in a jar or fresh pesto as you prefer) and then top with a torn-up slice of Prosciutto di Parma ham. This combination also works well with some torn-up Mozzarella cheese.

Ricotta, Black Olive & Lemon Zest

  • Black Olive Tapenade/Black Olive Paté
  • Ricotta Cheese
  • Lemon Zest to garnish

Spread a thin layer of Black Olive Tapenade on the Crostini, add a second layer of Ricotta Cheese and then sprinkle with finely zested pieces of lemon peel for a splash of colour.  To add extra colour, you can also add a small fresh Basil leaf on top of the Ricotta.

Gorgonzola & Fig

  • Gorgonzola Dolce Cheese
  • Figs (or Walnuts)

In our view this recipe works best with Gorgonzola Dolce (sometimes known as Dolcelatte) rather than Gorgonzola Piccante (the Piccante version has more mould in it, which makes it quite strongly flavoured and it is not quite as easy to spread).  Spread a generous layer of Gorgonzola on the Crostini.  Chop the fresh figs into quarters and add a quarter of a fig on top of the Gorgonzola cheese to garnish (make sure the figs are nice and ripe in the middle – they should look a nice vibrant pink or red in the middle).  As an alternative to figs you can use pieces of Walnut sprinkled on top of the Gorgonzola – both combinations work really well.

Smoked Salmon & Dill

  • Smoked Salmon
  • Cream Cheese
  • Fresh Dill

Scottish smoked salmon works well in this recipe (look for a salmon with a really vibrant pink colour and trim any muddy brown areas off the salmon to make the Crostini look as visually appealing as possible).  Simply buy a tub of spreadable cream cheese (e.g. Philadelphia Original or supermarket premium own brand version) and spread a generous layer on the Crostini.  Tear the smoked salmon into small pieces and add one torn-up slice to the Crostini on top of the cream cheese.  Then garnish with a sprig of fresh Dill and add a twist of black pepper to the salmon to season.  Try serving with small lemon wedges to add colour to the serving tray and give guests the option of adding a squeeze of lemon to the salmon if they wish.

Prosciutto & Asparagus

  • Prosciutto di Parma ham
  • Cream Cheese
  • Pan-Seared Asparagus

Spread the Crostini with a generous layer of cream cheese (e.g. Philadelphia Original or supermarket premium own brand version).  Tear up slices of Prosciutto di Parma ham into smaller pieces and add a torn-up slice on top of the cream cheese.  Asparagus is usually at its very best when in season (the UK season usually runs from April to June), but if you are making these Crostini in the festive season, you should still be able to buy packs of fine asparagus or asparagus spears in the supermarkets all year round.  The fine asparagus works particularly well for canapés as it is a bit thinner and will make the Crostini look a bit more refined than the thicker asparagus.  You only need to use the tips of the asparagus to make this recipe – just cut the stems down so that the spears are the same size as the Crostini (leave the spear part on).  You can use any asparagus off-cuts to make asparagus soup or put in a homemade quiche to avoid wasting anything.  Before adding the asparagus to the Crostini, sear the asparagus spears in a griddle pan or flash fry them in a frying pan with a glug of olive oil, then season with sea salt and pepper to taste before adding the asparagus on top of the Prosciutto ham.

    Found these wonderful crostini just in time for my annual neighbours’ Christmas party. My son and daughter-in-law and I knocked out something like 300 canapes and enjoyed every minute! We made tomato/red pepper and chorizo sauce topped with salami and gherkin, egg mayo topped with large prawn and chives, St. Agur creme with figs and black sesame seeds, creme fraiche and horseradish topped with smoked salmon and dill, smoked salmon pate topped with asparagus tips – all were seized by our guests who enjoyed every single one. These little crostini are perfect – and they don’t go soggy so you can prepare them some hours ahead. Thank you for a superb product! I’d send a photo if there was room!

    • Emily Barker

      Hi Penny, thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment.

      We’re so glad to hear that you and your neighbours enjoyed the Crostini and the toppings sound delicious – thank you for sharing the ideas with us.

      Italian food is about sharing and bringing people together so its great to hear that you had this experience with your family.

      Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from all the team at Crosta & Mollica.

  • Ladyjorns.Com

    This one takes a bit more time to prep to roast the butternut squash, but it’s totally worth it: Paired with ricotta, roasted squash, and fresh sage, these are a total winner.
