      When I first came across this Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star by Heather Lynn Rigaud I wasn't sure I wanted to read this novel. As some of you know I'm a huge fan of anything Jane Austen but trying to picture Mr. Darcy as a rock star was a little hard. In the end my curiosity won out. Not only did I end up really liking this novel, I would also classify it as a hard to put down novel.If you're not familiar with Jane Austen's characters from Pride and Prejudice it really doesn't matter for this novel. Heather Lynn Rigaud has put a contemporary spin on this classic book. The story line is about two bands who are on a tour together. Slurry is the name of Darcy's band. His band mates are Charles Bingley and Richard Fitzwilliam. They've been around for awhile and are hugely popular. They embark on a lengthy tour with the newbie band Long Borne Suffering which includes, Lizzy, Charlotte Lucas and Jane. I absolutely love the name of their band. I don't think Rigaud could have come up with a better name. It's absolutely brilliant. Both bands start the tour with little complications however as certain members of the band grow closer it starts to get complicated.I really liked the story line. Riguad took little details from Pride and Prejudice and incorporated them into this modern day retelling. I was a little shocked the first time Lizzy dropped the F bomb. I said out loud "Lizzy, no! You're not suppose to say that!" I had to let go of my preconceived notions of regency Lizzy and embrace the rock star Lizzy. I know that sounds really prudish but I'm so used to proper Lizzy. Once I did that it was all good. The characters in this novel also have quite a few steamy sexy time scenes. I also love that the author gave Charlotte Lucas a little more pizzazz and a very brazen attitude. Riguad managed to give the characters a sort of personality makeover without losing the initial core selves . Overall this book was really good. I picked up this book to read every chance I had. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes contemporary romance or Jane Austen. I'm so glad that I gave this book a chance. This is one of the best contemporary retellings I've read. It's definitely a 'To Read".

      Now this one was certainly different from the other variations I have read. But the story is still there, just further back and with modern aspects to it. Darcy is still Darcy and Lizzy is still Lizzy.

      But yes still very different. Darcy is a rockstar with his own band Slurry. Wickham used to play there too but was thrown out, later we learn why. But now there is Bingley who is as sweet as ever, and Richard who is the person that has changed the most. Poor Richard has a few addictions. Lady Catherine owns the record company and is no relation at all, Mr Collins works for her (and is an ass as always).

      Lizzy is as clever as always (and blind), Jane is sweet and Charlotte, well like Richard she has changed a bit too. Old Charlotte is still there but she has a modern twist to her, she more fun. They form the band Long Borne Suffering and are now on tour with our Rock Gods.

      The twists are there. Darcy still says something stupid and Lizzy resents him. Bingley and Jane fall madly in love. There still has been something between Wickham and Georgiana. Pemberley is still around (but very different) and everyone still lives happily ever after. Well sort of. This is a new version of course and the thing that I enjoyed was when Richard and Charlotte started flirting. Because we all know she should not have to be stuck with that idiot Mr, Collins.

      Rock and roll and sex. Yes this book sure took the old classic story and put a whole new spin on it and I enjoyed it a lot. It sure is a very different variation but it works so well. I do think Darcy was born to be a rock god ;)

      I enjoyed it and I recommend it to my fellow JA lovers. But since this story is so modern and the story is more hidden in a way, I also think that those who has not tried a variation yet (because you feel it so be wrong), that you would enjoy this one too. It’s a new story after all.
    • 5/5
      Fitzwilliam Darcy and the rest of the cast from Pride and Prejudice are reimaged as rock stars in the perfectly told tale of love, betrayal, music and just the right amount of lust. One one side you have the guys from Slurry, a dark, heavy rock band based on Puddle of Mud which is headed up by Darcy with a bad boy reputation. And the girls, the Bennett sisters which have their own sound like Cheryl Crow and Michelle Branch through a band named Long Bourne Suffering. When the two bands are thrown together for a tour that will change a lot in their lives. The story weaves through the interactions of the band members, their romances and exactly what goes on backstage.The story of Pride and Prejudice has been retold in countless ways and this latest edition doesn't disappoint. I am so glad to say that. Rigaud keeps the flavor of Austen, but truly modernizes the dialogue and Austen's snappy dialogue is some of the best out there, so when I started to read this, the words just flowed. I think my favorite part of the book is where the Bennet Girls google Slurry and then themselves right before the tours starts and their dismay at the things they find online. There is drama built in and the romances that take place between the parties are natural and not forced. Rigaud starts the book out with a "Inside the Music" documentary that completely sets the scene for the whole book-a brilliant move. I really enjoyed this one and would love to see the author do another rock star take on a classic!
    • 4/5
      Although Fitzwilliam Darcy Rock Star is an obvious take on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, this book really needs to be considered a book that stands on its own. Purists would probably never get through the fast-paced, crazy lifestyle of rock stars on the road, which is just where we find our P&P characters. The pride is definitely there, as would be expected with a big rock star like Darcy is in the novel, who has taken on a young girl group starring Jane, Elizabeth, and Charlotte. The twist is not lost on this reader! On the flip side, Elizabeth is not feeling Darcy's snobbery about these young girls that he seems to think are there to "love them and leave them" to take their money and fame. Elizabeth is there because she's passionate about her music. Enough said. However, she can't help but notice that Darcy is pretty hot!Much of the tension and social misunderstandings are still very present in this remake of the original. I did really like the character development that still retained a lot of the characters I knew and loved. Some characters are dropped from the story or hardly exist, such as the Bennet girls' other sisters and even their parents. Mr. Collins is also a very small part, whereas Richard steps up to play a major character in this modernization.I really enjoyed this new take. Although the cover gives it this YA feel, I wouldn't say that this is in any way a young adult novel, with its strong "rock star" lifestyle represented through the drugs, alcohol, sex, and even abuse that played out. I'm not a prude, but I'll admit to raising an eyebrow at some of the sex scenes in the book, which are decidedly not the norm for Austen's originals. There is a lot of pheromones flying around in this book!Although not the norm for Austen novels, this modernization is true to the character stories and pressures of the original. I love the misunderstandings in the original, and there were just as many if not more tense moments built into Rigaud's story. My background doesn't touch on the rock and roll world, but it was kind of fun to escape into that type of story. If you can handle the rock lifestyle, prepare yourself for a spicy, hot read!
    • 5/5
      Loved this book-modern version of P&P. In this version. Darcy is a rock star along with Bingley and his cousin Richard Fitzwilliam. Jane, Lizzy and Charlotte sing in their own band Long Bourne Suffering and become the opening act for the men's much more sucessful band. Ms. Rigaud cleverly twists and turns the story so Austen fans can follow along but this story has it's own life as well. Love how she handled Mr. Collins! This book is a page turner- you won't be able to stop reading it once you start!
    • 5/5
      The book was really good written and in some moments hilarious.The only thing i didn't like was the length of the book, and sometimes the unneeded explanation of things. And Darcy being the slobbering mass of goo at the end of the book. So my rating is probably 4.5 but leaning to 5.
    • 2/5
      love a good fictional band novel, but as Austen pastiche goes, I think the one with zombies was easier to believe
    • 2/5
      I imagine that Jane Austen would be astounded at not only the continued popularity of her own Pride and Prejudice but also at the plethora of modern retellings of her perennially popular novel. Rigaud enters that fray here with her updated version positing Darcy as the lead guitarist of a wildly successful rock band called Slurry, with band mates Charles Bingley and Richard Fitzwilliam, and Elizabeth Bennet as the lead guitarist of the up and coming rock band Long Bourne Suffering chosen to tour with Slurry. Of course, sweet Jane Bennet and Charlotte Lucas are Elizabeth's bandmates.The tale opens with a television interview giving the history of Slurry and their current troubles finding and keeping an opening act. After the interview, the story itself starts as Darcy, Charles, and Richard meet with manager Caroline Bingley to preview a new band to whom they plan to offer the opening act on the North American portion of their tour. That band is Long Bourne Suffering and it seems poised on the verge of making it big. Darcy does worry that the women of the band, Lizzy, Jane, and Charlotte, will do anything and everything in their power to get and keep the fame they'll be exposed to on Slurry's tour but he is realistic enough to know that they need an opening band and they need it now. So while he warns Charles away from the women, which Lizzy overhears, he swallows his misgivings and the two bands connect. As they practice and tour together, Jane and Charles fall for each other, Charlotte and Richard can't keep their hands off of each other, and Darcy and Lizzy irritate each other even as the sparks fly between them.Despite the similarities though, this is no Pride and Prejudice. This is definitely an updating with sex, drugs, and rock and roll running rampant through the novel. I'm not really a Pride and Pejudice purist so this edgier take wouldn't have fazed me in the slightest if I hadn't found so many other problems with it. The framing technique (the story both opens and closes with televised interviews functioning as both prologue and epilogue) did nothing to draw the reader into the story. In fact, it made me want to put the book down again immediately. And while it provides the reader with enough history to jump into the story, there was a real deus ex machina feel to it. Rigaud re-imagines several of the characters who gave real depth to the original. There is an almost complete absence of Lady Catherine, Caroline Bingley is nice, Anne de Bourgh is snotty, Charlotte Lucas isn't the practical girl who settles, and so on. Given her willingness to change the characters to suit her updated vision, Rigaud hews very closely to the plot points of the original, which turns out to be an awkward stretch. These misunderstandings and situations should not have been considered sacrosanct to the detriment of the current book and unfortunately this is the case.The characters, including those whose basic characters she didn't change, came off as bland rather than dimensional. Their stilted dialogue (they only use contractions on rare occasions, which frankly draws even more attention to the general lack of them as one would expect in normal dialogue) is hard to read and there is a fair amount of dialogue in this tale. Most of the latter half of the book seems to be one sex scene after another (and it's never good when graphic sex scenes get repetitive and boring) rather than anything that pushes the plot forward, causing the narrative tension to flatline entirely. I was quite disappointed with the novel, even moreso since it came highly recommended and it had such potential. It's a bad sign when I am happy enough to return a copy to the friend to whom it belongs and I reminded her more than once last night to take it home. Not one of the better re-imaginings I've read.
    • 3/5
      Nice, easy read. I liked the fact that the sole focus was not on Elizabeth and Darcy; Jane and Bingley and Charlotte and Fitzwilliam received a good portion of the author's attention. Some of the characterizations differed significantly from the usual, mainly Caroline who wasn't bitchy and Anne who was bitchy. The characterizations of Elizabeth and Charlotte were a little all over the place, but overall the characters were engaging and I genuinely liked them.

    Short History of the Blender

    Waring, universally known for introducing the first blender to American consumers, is one of today’s leading manufacturers of professional-quality, small appliances for the home, food-service, and laboratory industries. The company was acquired on May 9, 1998, by Conair Corporation, which also owns Cuisinart.

    Although the company is named after Fred Waring, a popular entertainer of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, Waring did not actually invent the blender. He did, however, perfect the original version and introduce this version to retailers and consumers—which ultimately became a big success. Waring history has it that in 1936, Fred Waring had just finished a radio broadcast in New York’s Vanderbilt Theater when Fred Osius, dressed in outlandish striped pants, a cutaway coat, and a bright lemon-yellow tie, approached the entertainer with his latest invention. Osius was looking for someone to finance a new mixer that would revolutionize people’s eating habits.

    Waring was intrigued with the concept of a mixer such as the one Osius described, and he agreed to back the new product, even when the prototype failed to work the first time. Six months and $25,000 later, the prototype still didn’t work. However, Waring remained enthusiastic and with his support the engineering and production problems were solved in time to introduce the new Miracle Mixer (as it was then called) at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago in 1937.

    Thanks to Waring’s own promotion of the blender on the radio and through a singing group aptly named The Waring Blendors, the blender became a permanent fixture in restaurants and bars. It wasn’t long before consumers decided that they needed blenders in their kitchens as well. Ultimately, department- and specialty-store sales increased, and the blender became a household appliance for home chefs.

    World War II temporarily halted blender production, but in 1946, sales took off again as consumer demand grew. Product innovations continued, with the introduction of color-coordinated blenders and attachments that crushed ice and ground coffee. Solid-state controls were among the most significant product changes. In the 1950s, new uses for the blender were constantly emerging, including applications in research laboratories. In fact, Dr. Jonas Salk used a Waring blender with an Aseptic Dispersal Container attachment to develop his lifesaving polio vaccine.

    During the late 1960s, design and engineering breakthroughs by Waring led to the creation of a more versatile blender that was more efficient and widely affordable. While maintaining its leadership in the blender market, Waring capitalized on its strong brand recognition and expanded its product line with a broad range of fine-quality kitchen appliances.

    Fred Waring died in 1984, but his vision for a top-quality blender lives on as Waring continues to manufacture an innovative line of top-performance blenders for the home and for commercial use.

    Commercial Blender Tips

    1.  Make sure you purchase the right blender for your application.

    *  Frozen drinks without alcohol require a blender with a more powerful motor.

    *  Determine the container size based on the maximum drink size and maximum number of drinks that will be blended at one time.

    *  Stainless steel vs. plastic container is a personal preference, but there’s more show and ease of loading with plastic and better insulation with stainless steel.

    *  Blenders with timers allow other tasks to be performed while blending.

    *  Programmed-cycle blenders provide optimum blend performance.

    2.  Use ice cubes that have fewer air pockets or a smaller cube size for ease in blending.

    3.  Add liquid ingredients first.

    4.  Measure ice with the glass the drink will be served in.

    5.  Ice should be added until it fills to the top of the liquid.

    6.  If ice cream is in the recipe, it should be added last.

    7.  Wait until the blade stops rotating before removing the lid.

    8.  Make sure the blender is off before removing or installing a container.

    9.  Check the clutch for wear, and replace as needed. (Removes easily per instruction card.)

    10.  Check the blade assembly periodically, and replace on a regular basis.

    Vita-Mix’s Top Ten Tips

    for Blending Liquids

    1.  Secure the container cover tightly before turning the blender on.

    2.  Do not place fingers or other objects, such as spoons or spatulas, in the blender container while the motor is running.

    3.  Do not remove the container cover while processing liquids.

    4.  If adding beer to a drink, stir it in last. Do not place beer in a blender and then turn it on.

    5.  When making ice cream drinks, in general, use soft ice cream and add it to the container last. With a Vita-Mix blender, however, you can add hard-packed ice cream or frozen yogurt at any point.

    6.  For single-serve drinks, add ice first. Pulse ice once or twice. Then add the wet ingredients.

    7.  When mixing drinks, switch to a higher speed if the motor seems to be laboring.

    8.  Always unplug the machine before cleaning it.

    9.  To clean a blender container, fill it halfway with water. Add a few drops of dishwashing detergent. Turn the motor on and blend for a few seconds. Empty the container and rinse it.

    10.  Keep the machine clean. Store it on a clean surface. Clean the vents regularly.

    The History of Coco Lopez

    Once upon a Time There Was

    No Piña Colada…

    The heart of the coconut has long been an important ingredient of many delicious desserts in the tropical islands, but getting the coconut cream from the pulp was a task in itself.

    Don Ramon

    There had to be an easier way, and one man set out to find it. In his small laboratory in Puerto Rico in the 1950s, Don Ramon Lopez Irizarry developed the original Coco Lopez, a delicious homogenized cream made from the tender meat of sun-ripened Caribbean coconuts and blended with the exact proportion of natural cane sugar.

    There is only one right moment and way to blend the basic ingredients that make up the original Coco Lopez cream of coconut. And this magical moment always took place in Don Ramon’s kitchen.

    Limited Production

    Success came too suddenly for Don Ramon Lopez Irizarry. His production facilities were limited to his personal efforts. This is when Industrias La Famosa, Puerto Rico’s largest processors of canned products, and Don Ramon agreed on mutual goals. The fusion became a transcendental success! After his agreement with Industrias La Famosa, he limited the secret of his expertise to be shared by only two of its stockholders. This unique product was granted with U.S. Patent #2426834.

    Recipes Made Easy

    Getting the cream from the coconut for desserts and other native dishes was a tedious and laborious task. Coco Lopez made it easy. For this reason it is preferred by homemakers and has earned its place in the kitchens of the best restaurants and
