I really need some help on French translations–much appreciated?

They have to be in "passe compose" for an assignment, and I dont get this tense. It also has to be in complete sentences please. (I have to pretend to be a french-speaking Tiger Woods).

1) I was born in Cypress, California, to Earl and Kultida Woods. I was the only child of their marriage.

2) I was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress before moving to Orange County for high school.

3) I started playing golf at the age of two.

4) I am one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Thai, one-quarter African American, one-eighth Native American, and one-eighth Dutch. My parents had many different ancestors.

5) My first coach was my dad, Earl.

6) I got my nickname from a Vietnamese soldier friend of my father, Vuong Dang Phong, to whom my father had also given the "Tiger" nickname. I became generally known by that name.

7) The Masters in April 1997, by a margin of 12 strokes. I became the youngest Masters winner and the first winner of African-American or Asian-American descent.

8) I got engaged in November 2003 to Elin Nordegren, and we married on October 5, 2004.

9) I attended Stanford University and was an All-America golfer.

10) I am a big basketball fan, so I would’ve liked to play basketball.

I need a dessert recipe!?

**Can not have flour
i have
-heavy whipping cream
-sugar
-ricotta cheese
-pears
-raspberries
-eggs
-jam

*just ask me if i have anyother ingredients because i might


Make a pavlova. Essentially you are making a 10 inch meringue that is like an upside down frisbee. Egg whites, sugar, cream of tarter and a little red wine vinegar. Bake it in a slow oven. turn off oven and let it dry out. Make a pastry cream with cold heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla. spread the pastry cream over the meringue and then top with the fruit. Exact recipes can be found on the web. It is a nice light dessert and everyone always loves it.

Make an Easy Pears Sabayon

Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Dash salt
1/4 cup sherry
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 (28-ounce) can pears, drained and chilled
Directions
In the top of a double boiler or in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, beat egg yolks with sugar, salt, and sherry. Beat until smooth. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool completely. In the bowl of a mixer, whip cream until it holds peaks. When sauce has cooled completely, gently fold in whipped cream. Serve over chilled, drained pears for a quick and easy cool dessert.

Fruit Tiramisu

1 cup Italian-style ricotta cheese
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup coffee liqueur ( any liqueur will do I like Ameretto)
1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs (use the flour free cookies) Or granola
2 cups Pears and Raspberries
grated chocolate for garnish
fresh mint leaves for garnish

In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, confectioners’ sugar, sour cream and coffee liqueur; mix well. Set aside.

In an electric blender or food processor container, process cookies, in small batches, until finely crushed.

Remove 6 cherries from cherry filling; reserve for garnish.

To assemble dessert, spoon 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese mixture into each of six (8-ounce) parfait glasses.

Add 2 tablespoons cookie crumbs to each glass; top each with arranged fruit (dice the pears and let them soak in a bit of jelly)

Repeat ricotta, crumb and fruit
Finish each serving with an equal portion of the remaining ricotta cheese mixture.

Garnish with reserved fruit , grated chocolate and mint leaves, if desired.

Let chill 2 to 3 hours before serving.

Since others may not be flour intollerent you can mash any cookie for thier serving This looks great in large wine glasses but any glass will serve it well.

This serves 6

Chances into getting into ANY UC?
I’m a junior in high school, and I haven’t taken the SATs/SAT II yet but if you look at my stats.. What are my chances? etc.

So here are my grades..
(Should I even bother posting freshman year?)
Grades: First Semester / Second Semester
Freshman
Spanish 1: B+ / A
World History Honors : A / A-
English 1 Honors: B+ / A
Biology 1: A / A
Algebra 2: B / B

Sophomore
Health (summer school): A
Spanish 2: A- / A-
AP European History: C / B (I got a 3 on the AP exam… LOL)
Chemistry P: C / C (I HATE YOU, CHEMISTRY… my "oh gosh i can’t do science" epiphany)
Dance (PE credits so not counted toward GPA): A+ / A+
Trigonometry: D / Statistics: A (Trig/Stats is one year; 1st & 2nd semester, respectively)
English 2 Honors: A / A+

soooo my sophomore year’s first semester GPA definitely took a plunge with a 2.91… weighted (you don’t want to know my unweighted GPA…). I really did raise up my grades though by second semester (3.6) so now my Academic Weighted GPA is 3.26. AHHHH…

oh gosh. What are the chances of getting into a UC with a D?! Is it even possible?!
I can’t believe I failed Trig, and by TWO PERCENT (should I talk about it in my personal statement?). Sadly, I’m retaking the course this year (as a junior), but fortunately(? in my perspective), I got "that" teacher who’s known to be "the easiest A ever".. so I think my 2.91 GPA is guaranteed to change into a 3.4ish (replacing that D with an A).
(also, trig is definitely waaaaaaay easier the second time around)
I’m aiming for a 4.0 (WEIGHTED) GPA this year.

Junior Year Schedule
0. AP US History
1. English 3 Honors (which is now on a weighted scale! WOOT!)
2. Trigonometry (one semester)
3. Spanish 3
4. ASB/Leadership/Student Government
5. AP Psychology
6. AP Probability/Statistics
OH YEAH! 0-6, baby! Well, by second semester, it’ll be 1-6 (I can’t handle 0 period!!!).
Sooo I’m aiming for a B in APUSH, English, AP Psych, & AP Stats (I know I’ll get an A in at least one of these bad boys though… cough, AP Psych <3).. and A’s in Trigonometry (although these grade points are added to sophomore year), Spanish, & ASB… Thus leading to a weighted 4.0 GPA.

which, if I do get a 4.0 GPA this WHOLE year, my lame GPA would be up to… ([3.4+3.6+4.0+4.0]/4)=. 3.75!!! Pretty good in my opinion… (3.5+ is considered an honors student at my school & 3.75+ is high honors).

Also, my officer positions are: Historian for Badminton Club, ICC Commissioner for Class of 2011, Public Relations Commissioner of ASB, and Chess Club president… mhmmm! Chess ftw.
The clubs I shalll be in this year: Kiwins, Key Club (member already), Marine Science (member), Comic Book Club (member), Mock Trial (member in 9th grade.. trying to get into it again), Vietnamese Club, Chess Club (member), Student Government (member), Class of 2011 (member), NHS, CSF (member), Badminton (member)
heh.. that’s not too much.. right!? I guess I should be steady with my clubs sad.gif but there are so many cool clubs at my school, I just have to join ‘em!

Also, I (along with my friend) run Pennies for Patients, Project Angel Tree, Red Ribbon Week/Blood Drive, Canned Food Drives, etc. at our school.
I’m so kewl(.. not really).
I’m quite the fan of community service ;)

and this would prob affect things: I’m Asian.

Colleges I want to get into (ordered by how much I want to attend there):
UC Irvine (first choice!!!)
UC Santa Barbara
UC Davis
UC Merced
UC Riverside

What should I try doing? What SAT score should I aim for? etc. etc.
btw, I want to major in Political Science


UC admission evaluation is based on a variety of factors. All UCs favor factors such as the rigor of your HS curriculum (number of UC-approved honors/AP/IB/CC courses completed), excellent weighted and unweighted GPA, and demonstrated leadership abilities. You are also compared to your peers, meaning your academic and extracurricular achievements are viewed in context of students in your HS who applied to the UCs this year and up to 3 years prior. Given the number of factors considered and the complex data involved, it is essentially impossible for anyone to accurately predict your chance.

Berkeley is general achievement oriented (academic or extracurricular), meaning admissions is willing to overlook bad grades/test scores when excellent extracurriculars and/or horrible hardships are in the equation. Berkeley is especially interested in students who will take advantage of what Berkeley has to offer and become the engine of social change.

The rest of UCs tend to be academic achievement oriented, meaning fantastic grades and stellar test scores are essential to be competitive. Students who demonstrate ability to achieve extraordinary extracurriculars and/or overcoming horrible hardships while maintaining excellent academic achievement are favored. However, these UC campuses rarely overlook bad grades/test scores even if extraordinary extracurriculars and/or horrible hardships are in the equation.

Repeat the course in which you received a D to erase the bad grade from your GPA. Stop freaking out and focus your energy on bringing up your grades.

Buckle down, bring up your GPA as planned, get tutoring for your SAT test and you can get into at least Merced and Riverside.
ownpool | Sep 28, 2009


I’m sorry but you have a really LOW chance of getting in into a UC with the exception of UC Merced and Riverside if you don’t bring your GPA up. It’s not just about having advanced classes, it doesn’t matter if you were in Algebra 2 freshman year and then Trig in sophomore year when you almost failed one of them with a D. The average weighted GPA for getting into UCI, UCD, UCSB is around 3.6-3.9.

At least you have tons of community service, so you might get in. The average GPA admitted that I gave is the GPA of admitted students from 25th-75 percentile. There are few that get in around your GPA. So there is hope.

Pressure fry a boneless turkey breast.?

I have a high-end pressure cooker / fryer. The brand is All-American. It has all the safety features (a bolt-on top that does not use a rubber ring) that allow it to be used as a pressure fryer. So there are no safety worries.

Anyway, I have a boneless 4.75lb turkey breast that i want to pressure fry this evening. I’m going to use peanut oil and season it with an injector. I’ll be cooking it at around 12 to 15 psi.

My question is, about what cooking time should I expect? I read a traditional breast deep fry recipe that said 3 minutes per pound plus an additional 5 minutes at the end. Since pressure cooking and frying often quickens cook time, any suggestions on what I might want to do here?

Thanks!


It always takes longer than they say to cook it. So be prepared to sit there longer and wait.

Ok Who Survived Black Friday? Can we have a round of applause please?

I survived it. Got almost everything on my list.

Which store was the most well prepared for the shoppers?
I’ll vote for Scheel’s, they had plenty of people in the aisles to help you find things, they had plenty of all the advertised items and check out was fast. 2 thumbs up for Scheels.

Sears was the worse. The sales people didn’t know where anything was and they didn’t care if you found it or not. None of them knew WHICH comforters were on sale. Checkout was horrendeous. And why the heck doesn’t that store have more than 10 shopping carts?? 2 thumbs down.

What time did you leave the house? I planned on 4 am but barely made it out the door by 5:45 am. It was freaking cold here, 8 degrees above zero so I crawled back in bed while the coffee brewed.

How long does it take you to make your plan of attack? Takes me about 2 hours to go through the ads.

Do you go in a group or fly solo? I only fly solo, I’m in and out faster than greased lightening.


well, i see you got the cheese hat you always wanted…
