After a victory at No. 2 doubles to take the opening point, the Rebels earned straight-set wins in singles from Nik Scholtz at No. 1, Stefan Lindmark at No. 5 and the clincher from Adrian Forberg Skogeng at No. 6.
"A huge win for us," head coach Billy Chadwick said. "We stopped the streak and got it going in the right direction."

By PATSY STODDARDEditorCOREY BLUEMELStaff writer
A long awaited event came to the Millsite Golf Course in Ferron this week as ground was broken on the back nine holes of the course. It has been the wish of the course since it opened the front nine to be able to expand the course to 18 holes. Although play on the back nine is still far in the future, estimates are fall of 2010, players are excited that the work has begun.
Millsite Course Golf Pro Jordan Leonard said, "Play will continue at Millsite even though we are under construction. This is a project we have looked forward to for a long time."
There is still a hold up with the Bureau of Land Management as the patent for the project is still pending on the other side of the road where some of the new holes will be located. So while the patent is being processed, work has started on the holes which will be constructed adjacent to existing holes on the course already within the disturbed area on the course for which a patent already exists. Directly below the club house construction has started on a new hole number one and between holes eight and nine construction has begun on a new hole which will become hole 10.
Kris Abegglen, is the designer for the Millsite expansion project.
A request for additional funds was submitted to the CIB for inclusion on their April 2 agenda. The biggest jump in cost was due to the pumps needed for the project. The cost went from $60,000 to $120,000, and the cost of the three phase power which is needed to run those pumps has also increased. An extra $54,000 was added to the final cost of the project due to unexpected costs from the BLM. During the process, the BLM informed the committee there may be cactus in one area of the expansion. This created the situation where an environmental assessment was needed, and then some redesign work was required. Other costs have also risen during the planning stages.
Abegglen said, "Nielson's Construction has done a great job for this project. They worked with everyone involved during a meeting for the revisions. Everyone involved cut as much as possible without losing the quality of the course. We went through a very thorough process."
Brian Barton from Jones and DeMille Engineering explained the changes that have occurred as the golf course expansion has tried to go forward. "A large portion of the requested lease property near Millsite Reservoir was deemed to have the same soil as land on the other side of the lake where a potentially endangered cactus was found. The Bureau of Land Management felt there was a possibility of those same cactus growing on that parcel. These cactus grow entirely underground and are usually not visible, but for three weeks in April, their flowers project above ground level. We would have been required to wait until after the bloom in the spring for the cactus survey to be made," said Barton.
He went on to explain that due to time line considerations concerning the construction deadlines, they could not wait. The decision was made to abandon the plan to utilize the lake side parcel of land, and reorganize the existing nine holes and reduce the number of holes from the back nine to be near the lake, to one. This one hole will not be built on the parcel in question.
The new plan is to build only hole number one on the west side of the existing course near the clubhouse. Making this hole number one would allow for the existing hole number one to become hole number nine on the front nine. Hole number 10 will be constructed between the existing number eight and nine and the existing number nine will become hole number 11.
Holes number 12 and 13 will be constructed to the west of the existing parking lot, with holes number 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 to be constructed on the south side of the canyon road. To conserve on the construction costs, these holes will not have complete fairways with lawn planted. They will have tee boxes which players will hit across some portion of the desert landscape to a grassed in landing area, leading up to the green.
Par on the proposed nine hole expansion will be 35 and will utilize three par threes, two par fives, and four par fours. Length of the back nine will be 2,931 from the back tees.
Abegglen, course designer, said, "We have remodeled to fit the area we have left while retaining the views and making some great holes. This new plan utilizes the area most efficiently. We have to do this within the budget and the new holes fit naturally in the area. We are making some improvements on the existing nine. Construction on the remodel and the new nine will allow play to continue with minimal interruption."
The golf course is operating on an existing permit which encompasses most of the expansion project as well. A small portion of the new nine is outside the existing permit boundaries. A permit is required to do work on that parcel of land. In the beginning of the expansion process, the BLM assured the golf course committee the permit would not be a problem. Now, three years later, the permit has not been issued and is still pending signature from the BLM.

Vibrance and Depth
There are many different way to brighten up your photos. But this is the quickest and easiest way I have found... and it almost always works.
1) First, click on your photo layer to activate it. Then right-click anywhere on the blue strip and choose Duplicate Layer from the fly-out menu.
2) You can name your layer if you wish, but it isn't necessary. Click OK.
5) Now, choose each layer by clicking on the first layer, and then press and hold your SHIFT key while clicking on the last layer. Then right-click anywhere on the blue and choose Merge Layers from the fly-out menu.
2) Choose your Dodge tool from your tools palette. Choose a circle brush, make it small and set the Hardness to "0". Your range should be Midtones and set your exposure to between 30% and 50%. Now run your brush over the whites of the eyes.
3) Now make your brush a little smaller and run it over the catchlights in the iris and the pupil.
4) Now make your brush a bit larger (and you may need to reduce the exposure a tad) and then in one soft motion, run your brush around the iris (in between the pupil and the darker edges of the iris.)
5) While you still have your dodge tool activated, go ahead and move down the photo and focus on the teeth. Simply adjust the size of your brush accordingly and subtly brush over each individual tooth. Sublte is the key.
6) Now to define the eyes futher, choose your Burn tool from your tools palette. Choose a circle brush, make it very small, and set the Hardness to "0". Choose Midtones for your range and lower the exposure to somewhere between 8% and 15%. Then, brush around the outter-most edges of the iris.
7) In a lot of photos (not necessarily this one), but sometimes the eyes tend to get lost a little. A great way to bring definition to the eye is to make the lash line stand out a little more. Your burn tool is perfect for this. Again, keeping your brush circular, small, and soft, with a low exposure, simply brush along the lash line. Once or twice is usually enough to do it. Sort of like putting on eyeliner or mascara when our own eyes don't seem to stand out enough. :) But again... be subtle.
8) Now choose your Sharpen tool from your tools palette. Set the strength to between 40% and 60%. Then brush over the pupil and iris only. (Don't sharpen the whites of the eyes.)
2) Now, since the Spot Healing tool "pulls" from surrounding areas to cover what you're trying to get rid of, sometimes it gets confused. If there is a spot right next to a shadow or someone's hair, when you click it will sometimes "pull" an area from the shadow or from the hair. There is a simple solution to this.
3) Choose your Clone Stamp from your tools palette. Again, your brush should be circle in shape, small, and the hardness set to "0". Now the trick here, i've found is to lower the opacity way down, to somewhere between 20% and 30%. This way, it subtly pulls from your desired area a little at a time. This gives you much more control when working with the clone stamp. So now, place your brush over a similar colored area.
5) Now, release your ALT key and move your cursor over the spot you wish to correct and click until the spot starts to disappear. Be sure to click one at a time so you don't end up clicking too many times and having the spot look fake.
6) The same method works GREAT for shiney areas as well. Great for us when our face is shiney, great for kids with runny noses or messy mouths from eating or drinking before a picture. So simply repeat the steps outlined above and cover up that shine. :)

Sometimes the best offense is a good rebound...
Adam McCarthy has had a really bad week. In addition to nearly losing his three brothers in a tragic boating accident, his now ex-girlfriend has double-crossed him right out of the successful computer company he founded in New York City. What he needs is a few days at home on Gansett Island to make sure his beloved brothers are safe and to get back in touch with what really matters - his family, his friends and the tiny island that soothes his battered soul. On the ferry ride home, he runs into an old family friend who's had her own share of heartache, and Adam helps her through some rough moments, sparking an unlikely alliance.
Abby Callahan has come home to Gansett, single once again after her relationship with Dr. Cal Maitland blows up in her face. After two epic failures in the game of love, she's decided this is going to be the summer she busts loose and finally has some fun - and she's shaking things up in a big way! The new Abby swears, drinks, gets a tattoo, sleeps around and generally does anything her kinder, gentler alter ego wouldn't have dreamed of doing.
Before too long, Adam has appointed himself her guardian and is determined that the only sleeping around she's doing is with him. That is unless his brother Grant is willing to risk his newfound happiness with Stephanie to keep Adam from rebounding with his ex. And what happens when Adam and Abby realize their summer fling has taken a serious turn, especially when he gets the chance to return to New York and fight for the company that's rightfully his? Abby has already followed two men off the island. Does she have it in her to find out if the third time really is the charm?
Another wild summer on Gansett Island is under way, complete with new stories for many of your favorite couples from past books! You'll also see more of Dan and Kara, David and Daisy, and find out whether Carolina has made peace with her relationship with the much younger and very sexy Irishman, Seamus O'Grady. Ready? Set? Let's go back to Gansett Island!
Author's Note: While Waiting for Love is more or less intended to be a stand-alone story, you'll enjoy it so much more if you read the earlier books in the McCarthys of Gansett Island series first.

"With the McCarthy's of Gansett Island, Marie Force makes you believe in the power of true love and happily ever after. Over and over again." (Carly Phillips, NY Times bestselling author of the Serendipity series)
Another satisfying love story by Marie Force. I. Love this series and the way she weaves each book together with the last one. Looking forward to reading the next book.
"I wanted more!"
I love how Marie continues the stories of the past characters, but I really wanted more Adam and Abby! They may be my favorite couple so far!!!
love to read
"So happy for Adam and Abbie"
Third times the charm! So happy to be back on gansett with the mcArthys
I love the way each story sees more maturity among the men and a strength among the women to help the men grow and be leaders of their families.
"An enjoyable listen."
I enjoyed this listen and the chance to hear Adam's story. Although it works as a stand alone it is probably more interesting and engaging when listened to as part of the series. I enjoyed reconnecting with characters introduced in earlier books almost as much as I did with the main characters in this listen.
"easy, enjoyable listen"
I found this enjoyable and an easy listen. Given it was an audio book, the numerous side stories was a bit disconcerting and it took a while to sort out who was who especially as this was the first book that I read in the series. The narrator did a good enough job, not adding nor detracting from the storyline.
As the tension between the two main characters was overshadowed by the numerous side stories some of which tendered to be just a 'repeat' of each other , I would think twice about listening to another book by this author.

Flanker Andy Hazell will make his first start of the season for Gloucester in Saturday's Premiership clash with Wasps at Kingsholm.
Flanker Andy Hazell will make his first start of the season for Gloucester in Saturday's Premiership clash with Wasps at Kingsholm.
The return of Gloucester's longest serving current player is one of seven changes that director of rugby Nigel Davies makes to his starting line-up, from the side that took the field at Bath last weekend.
Yann Thomas, Huia Edmonds and Shaun Knight make up a new front row, while Will James comes in to partner James Hudson in the second row.
Behind the scrum, Dan Robson gets the nod at scrum-half, and Henry Trinder's release from England duty enables him to line up alongside Ryan Mills in the Gloucester midfield.
It's a big game for the Cherry and Whites as they look to get back to winning ways after last Friday's defeat at the Rec and aim to start moving back up the Aviva Premiership table.
Despite Gloucester's current position in the table, Davies remains upbeat but acutely aware that Wasps come to Kingsholm on a high having defeated Leicester last weekend.
"We're hugely disappointed with where we are, but I'm not worried," said Davies.
"I know the quality of this squad and we're going to start winning sooner rather than later.
"We hope to start that on Saturday, although it'll be tough against a Wasps team who are coming off the back of a good win. They'll have a lot of of confidence.
"We've just got to start to realise certain things about our game. Against Bath we gave away 20 penalties, and you're not going to win games like that.
"It takes away a large part of your game and it gives a lot to the opposition. That's the priority. We get that right and things will change."
Meanwhile, London Wasps boss Dai Young has made three changes to his run-on side.
Nathan Hughes and Charlie Hayter take the spots of Ed Jackson and Ben Jacobs, while James Haskell makes his first start of the season, taking the number seven shirt as Guy Thompson shifts to the bench.
Other than that the side is unchanged from the team that beat Leicester Tigers last weekend, as Young's men go in search of a fourth win in a row in all competitions.
Young said: "The squad are all fully aware of the challenge we face this weekend. Kingsholm is a tough place to go to and that has been reflected in our visits there in recent years.
"However, for us, this game presents an opportunity to string together four wins on the bounce in all competitions and to back up last weekend's win at Adams Park."
Form: Nigel Davies' men find themselves in 11th position in the Aviva Premiership, with just Dean Ryan's Worcester sitting behind them in the league table. Davies' Gloucester has won just two of their league games this season, with their solo victory at Kingsholm a 26-24-win over high-flying Northampton Saints in round three. Comparatively, London Wasps have lost just one of their last five fixtures in all tournaments: 12-19 at Saracens in the Premiership in October and are high on confidence having beaten Leicester Tigers last time out. Wasps' away record though is not the best; their most recent away victory in the Premiership was 17-16 against Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop in February. The last four encounters between the two clubs have all been won by the home side on the day, while the Londoners' only victory at Kingsholm since 2006 was 35-6 in October 2009.
The teams:
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 James Simpson-Daniel, 13 Henry Trinder, 12 Ryan Mills, 11 Jonny May, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Dan Robson, 8 Sione Kalamafoni, 7 Andy Hazell, 6 Tom Savage (capt), 5 James Hudson, 4 Will James, 3 Shaun Knight, 2 Huia Edmonds, 1 Yann Thomas.
Replacements: 16 Darren Dawidiuk, 17 James Gibbons, 18 Rupert Harden, 19 Elliott Stooke, 20 Gareth Evans, 21 Jimmy Cowan, 22 Charlie Sharples, 23 Matt Kvesic
Wasps: 15 Elliot Daly, 14 Christian Wade, 13 Chris Bell (c), 12 Charlie Hayter, 11 Josh Bassett, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Joe Simpson, 8 Nathan Hughes. 7 James Haskell, 6 Ashley Johnson, 5 Kearnan Myall, 4 Tom Palmer, 3 Jake Cooper-Woolley, 2 Carlo Festuccia, 1 Matt Mullan.
Replacements: 16 Tom Lindsay, 17 Simon McIntyre, 18 Will Taylor, 19 James Cannon, 20 Guy Thompson, 21 Charlie Davies, 22 Joe Carlisle, 23 Tommy Bell.
Date: Saturday, November 2
Venue: Kingsholm

TV critic Robert Bianco says the finale could never be bad enough to ruin the series' reputation.
The end is never all there is to a journey.
Granted, everyone who loves AMC's Breaking Bad no doubt hopes Sunday's 75-minute finale (9 ET/PT) will bring this sublime series to a fitting, satisfying conclusion. But it's hard to imagine any ending that would be unsatisfying enough to damage the long-term standing of one of the best dramas television has ever produced — short, perhaps, of discovering the entire five-season run was a cancer patient's coma-induced dream. And even that would only tarnish the show's reputation, not destroy it.
What creator Vince Gilligan, star Bryan Cranston, and the entire cast and crew have done is too monumental a TV achievement to be undone by one episode. So it might be beneficial to go into that episode not with reduced expectations, but with reduced demands. Walt is under enough pressure; he doesn't need any more from us.
IN THE WRITERS' ROOM: Death is inescapable
GALLERY: Vince Gilligan's favorite 'Breaking Bad' scenes
SET VISIT: 'Breaking Bad' altered stars' career chemistry
The scalding brilliance at the heart of Breaking Bad,of course, is that Walt has not just created the crisis that now threatens to engulf him, he deserves it. For the past six years, we've watched this once-mild-mannered chemistry teacher transform himself into a murdering, often merciless drug lord — Mr. Wizard turned Scarface — a man who continually overestimated his own abilities while benefiting from the ineptness of most of his enemies.
Yet now, over seven breathtaking episodes that proved this series is exiting at a creative peak, it's all unraveled: His money stolen by neo-Nazis, his family destroyed, his former partner and protégé enslaved. And it's all his fault.
Clearly, Walt is at the center of this story, but he's only "heroic" if you view Bad as a classic tragedy and Walt as the epitome of the tragic hero: a man with good intentions who is destroyed by hubris. The intention of this dying man was to provide for his family; the hubris was believing he could dabble in crime without becoming a criminal.
What a remarkable descent it has been, so fabulously captured by Cranston — from that early, reluctant, sloppy murder in Jesse's basement to the coldblooded way he sent Jesse (the also-great Aaron Paul) off to be tortured and, he expected, killed. The point is not that crime made Walt evil, or that he was always evil at heart. The moral of this story comes from The Lord of the Flies: We're all capable of hideous things if we cut ourselves loose from civilization's bonds.
Like all of TV's best series, Breaking Bad has been influential, though in this case, the influence has not always been welcome. Too many series (the dire American version of Low Winter Sun being the latest) have copied its flawed central character and its sometimes grotesque violence without copying the skill behind them. Which is to say, too many of these series are not run by Gilligan or performed by Cranston, Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Jonathan Banks, Giancarlo Esposito, Jesse Plemons and Bob Odenkirk.
Whether that makes Bad TV's best series ever is one of those debates that's fun to entertain but impossible to resolve. How do you compare it to The Wire, for example, when the shows are so different in conception, intent and reach? The Wire is a Dickensian portrait of an entire city and time; Breaking Bad an intimate exploration into the heart of darkness. Let's just be happy we had a series as astoundingly good as Bad and leave it at that.
However it leaves us.

Inside Your Home
As a homeowner, leaving the temperature inside your home constant day and night will most likely cost you money. It's more economical to turn the heat down when no one is home, or at night when you're asleep. And if your home has a setback thermostat, you've got a simple way to do just that. Used properly, that little box hanging on your wall will save you energy -- and energy dollars.
Savings with a setback thermostat can be impressive. Recent studies show that properly using your automatic thermostat could cut your heating costs from 20 to 75 percent. In summer, such devices may shave your cooling costs by 15 to 25 percent. (Your actual savings, of course, will depend on such factors as the climate in which you live, the amount of insulation in your house, the temperature you set your thermostat, and the rate structure of your utility company. Not every home is alike!)
New homes in California with a central heating and cooling system must come with an automatic setback thermostat and they also have much higher insulation levels than older homes. If you have an older home that doesn't have an efficient HVAC unit and the insulation levels are low, you can replace your existing HVAC unit and thermostat and add insulation to make your home more energy efficient.

Thank you for the invitation to share our thoughts and feelings of President Hinckley. How grateful we are to have had such an extraordinary man to lead, direct, encourage, praise, and love us. We loved him, his sense of humor, his never changing example to the world as the true and living prophet. May his family and the church know of the wonderful reunion he had with his eternal sweetheart, family, and prophets that have passed before. May we honor his life, example, and teachings by remaining faithful and true to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Praise to the man...

Strike King KVD Fat Baby Finesse Worm
The Strike King KVD Fat Baby Finesse Worm features a slightly bigger body size than the traditional finesse worm. Shorter in length with a larger diameter to allow you to use bigger tackle, it still has a killer action. The oversized bulbous tail also provides more water displacement and helps facilitate its deadly action. Great on a drop shot or a shakey head, its also made with Strike King's Perfect Plastic formulation. Some of the softest, saltiest plastic ever produced, its also loaded with Strike King's exclusive coffee scent for added fish attraction. Available in a variety of colors, the Strike King KVD Fat Baby Finesse Worm is an excellent new additiona to any angler's tackle box.

From: Ben: Louisville, KY 6/11/14
Comments: My friend and I have been fishing this plastic all month the Green Pumpkin Sapphire and the Green Pumpkin Purple Gold. We've been Texas Rigging it w no weight and we've been putting them on Bass Magic Shakey Heads. We've been slaughtering the bass this whole month Aug13 now its 9-5-13. Attracts big fish as well as small on Shakey Head.
From: Mitch: Baton Rouge, LA
Comments: I LOVE this bait! I've caught 15+ bass in this time span: 5/26/13 - 6/1/13(today), I've burned through a whole bag of em', I'm just rigging them backwards (the body without the cupped tail will still faith bass), this is by far the best finesse worm I've ever used, I use it dropshot also on this worm, it's so cool, from 4" dinks to 5 pond full on fatties this currency gets it done!!!!
From: Ronnie: Ann Arbor MI
Comments: Absolutely the best Finesse Worm
I bought these because I liked the new tail Strike King put on these finesse worms. I took them down to Dallas for my first fishing trip of the season and absolutely killed them on this. The water was still cold and all the fish I caught were still very pale and lethargic. This was the ONLY bait that would catch them. Used them on a drop shot, shakey head and weightless T-Rigged. All caught fish!!!

Lady Falcons take down Waves
January 3, 2013
The Central Valley California League tipped off with a thriller Thursday night, as the Forest Lake Christian girls basketball team defeated Sacramento Waldorf for the first time in five seasons, 52-42.
"It's the eighth time I've played them and the first time I've won," said head coach Tom Ritchart. "Beating Sacramento Waldorf was one of our goals this season. It's also nice to win the league opener."
The Lady Falcons trailed only once all game, and it was only 2-0. From there, the Lady Falcons built an eight-point lead going on a 10-0 run. They pressed early and often, forcing the Waves' offense to turn the ball over several times with a shot clock violation, a pass out of bounds and multiple steals.
It was Lauren Piner who led the way for Forest Lake Christian, consistently knocking down open shots underneath the basket off crisp passes from her teammates. Piner finished the night with 20 points.
"We ran the ball really hard, kept our energy up and gave it our all," said Piner. "We've improved a lot this season. Getting in situations like tonight, we learn how to slow it down."
Forest Lake Christian's stingy defense continued through the second quarter as it swarmed the ball, causing several travel violations and a five-second violation after a successful trap. The Lady Falcons maintained control of the game and the lead, going into halftime up 22-18.
Part of the reason the Lady Falcons couldn't pull away was allowing too many offensive rebounds and Sacramento Waldorf's Ella Haberman, who kept the Waves close, dropping a few 3-pointers to finish with 16 points.
"Offensively Lauren did great," Ritchart said. "Defensively we mixed it up and limited their best shooter."
Both teams scored 12 points in the third quarter, and while the Lady Falcons' aggressive defense gave the Waves plenty of chances from the foul line, junior Emily Pearce proved to be an impact player all game, as she swiped four steals and blocked a shot to set up opportune shots for her teammates in transition. The Lady Falcons maintained a four-point advantage, 34-30, heading into the fourth quarter. Pearce finished with six points.
Josey guarded No. 22 (Ella Haberman) really well, Pearce' sticky hands carried the team getting steals, and everyone moved together and played great tonight, Piner said. Senior Emily Woodward had several blocks down low and made scoring tough in the paint.
In the fourth quarter, the Lady Falcons' hustle overcame Sacramento Waldorf, and they pushed their lead to 16 points, going on a 14-4 run, which featured great ball movement and relentless energy, as every player finished with at least one score. Sophomore Hailey Adams answered the call down the stretch, tossing in a couple of clutch shots. Adams finished with six points and stayed busy on defense, rotating with zone play.
Conditioning was a factor down the stretch, as the Lady Falcons were ready to go and went to a zone. By that time, Sacramento Waldorf was pretty worn down, said Ritchart.
The Lady Falcons (5-5, 1-0 CVCL), who also won their consolation championship game last weekend 65-57 over Vallejo Christian at the Vacaville Christian Tournament, will look to continue their impressive play today when they travel to take on Woodland Christian.

Discussion in 'Hypertrophy-Specific Training (HST)' started by jan_banan, May 2, 2012.
Do i just start directly on the routine or
do i need to warm up before i start the routine?
I actually do warmup sets of all my lifts, which takes 20-30 minutes. Then I do the work sets, which takes about 30 minutes.
I like Woody Harrelson's character's view from Zombieland on the topic; have you ever seen a lion limber up before taking down a gazelle?
That said, some stretches and a few light lifts couldn't hurt.
2 x 500m's on the rower help get me in the mood, I only do some light life on squats and/or if I'm aching.
Mhm still confused is it a place i can read about this, how Brian want us too do this?
Facepalm and shakes head...
just do a couple of warm up sets for lower body and a couple for upperbody.
Warm ups are hugely important, especially as you get older.
A common concensus is a few minutes on a stationary cycle or rower, or the like, to raise heart-rate, then, as mentioned above by Faz and Tman, some light sets on the exercises you're working.
I also like to do some joint rotations and mobilisations, as my joints are getting old and knackered!
I also do some light rotator cuff exercises, as I've had a few years of issues with them in the past.
Stretching should only be done after the workout, as it can affect your performance - there was a study done on this years ago - and always once the muscle is warmed up anyway.
My warm up, as others do above, can take 20 minutes or so, in total. Just make sure it doesnt become a workout in itself....save your strength for the proper lifting.
As you get older, you tend to get tighter, which can effect form and thus cause injury. PNF and myofascial release are both good methods of limbering up. Just make sure that if you PNF, you do it after you're sufficiently warmed up because you're essentially stretching your muscles past the ROM your CNS is allowing normally and if you're cold, you have a chance of tearing something. After a workout is sufficient warmup for PNF. And because PNF places a strain on the CNS and muscles alike, it should not be done on consecutive days.
Myofascial release can be done with a foam roller, or a tennis ball or pvc pipe for smaller muscles. You can do it as often as you want. It can be done on the spine too for spinal mobilization, but make sure you don't do it on your cervical or lumbar areas because there's not a lot of muscle so you put excess strain on the discs if you were to foam roll there. Otherwise, any dense area of muscle, you can do fascia release. You can become a lot more limber and flexible this way. One of the best times to do it is after you workout. You can replace your arbitrary stretching routine with it. In fact, static stretching in general doesn't do much unless you're stretching an area recovering from injury.
Also, hanging from a pullup bar is a good way to decompress the spine, especially if you do a lot of squatting and deadlifting. Lessens the chance of disc herniation or rupture (though you still are running a high risk if you do the movements in bad form).
Separate names with a comma.

Made By Hagane, the Ice NomadNAruto's next Rasengan powerup(where he uses his new Fuuton RS while in Fox Xage mode) will accidentally make a tear in dimensions and suck Aizen and everyone else into Narutoverse, which will result in Madara and Aizen fusing, and Naruto will borrow Ichigo's enormous Zanpakuto and charge it with Wind Chakra and cut Madaraizen(if you steal this term I will hunt you down and disembowel you) in half, and then the world explodes from the awesomeness of the scene.
Tobi won't be in this one unless they get through six chapters of manga content.
does anyone have a link to a sub, I'm pretty sure another group other than DB sub shippuuden. I must wacth it now and see if they have redeemed shippuuden.
I don't think it is subbed yet, Flomp is also delayed. Furthermore I cannot find any links to proper raws (not online view). Maybe someone has them somewhere.
DB has released a sub if anyone cares

In 1935 Dorothea Lange was hired by the New Deal administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to document the impact of the depression on America's farms. But she soon went far beyond her assignment to challenge, visually, the limits of New Deal politics. In this lecture/presentation, Linda Gordon uses many of Lange's images to examine how she explored what documentary photography could do.
Part of the 2013–2014 Fellows Presentation Series
Linda Gordon is a professor of history and a University Professor of the Humanities at New York University. Her early books focused on the historical roots of social policy issues, particularly as they concern gender and family issues. More recently, she has explored other ways of presenting history to a broad audience, publishing the microhistory The Great Arizona Orphan Abduction (Harvard University Press, 1999) and the biography Dorothea Lange: A Life beyond Limits (W.W. Norton, 2009), both of which won the Bancroft Prize. She is one of only three historians to have won this award twice.

New ads from Coca-Cola claim artificial sweeteners, like aspartame, used in Diet Coke, "give people great-tasting options they can feel good about."
But is aspartame a safe alternative to sugar?
"It's controversial," explained Dr. Theodore Strange, associate chair of Medicine and VP of Medical Operations at SIUH South.
While there's no evidence linking aspartame to cancer as previously thought, it does pose other health concerns.
"There's data that shows that drinks with aspartame and other artificial sweeteners have, in fact, increased obesity because you get a sugar urge and you have to eat more," says Dr. Strange.
Over time, those extra calories can increase your chances of heat attack, stroke and developing diabetes.
"In the long run," says Dr. Strange, "water and natural juices are the best way to go."

Executive Power and the Discipline of History
Julian Davis Mortenson
University of Michigan Law School
February 17, 2011
University of Chicago Law Review, Vol. 78, p. 377, 2011
U of Michigan Law & Econ, Empirical Legal Studies Center Paper No. 11-002
U of Michigan Public Law Working Paper No. 233
In a trilogy of books published after September 11, John Yoo has argued that George W. Bush's counter-terrorism efforts were well grounded in both law and policy. As a rhetorical matter, Yoo largely grounds his legal claims in British and American history. But his conclusions are not actually tethered to plausible historical analysis. To demonstrate that fact, this essay focuses on three legal problems presented by the first-term Bush administration: the question of presidential preeminence in conflict with Congress; the question of presidential susceptibility to judicial supervision; and the question of presidential power to start armed hostilities. On each issue, the historical evidence suggests an American constitutional tradition that is wholly at odds with both Yoo's own conclusions and the positions advanced by the Bush administration. Yoo's legal claims therefore depend entirely on an underdeveloped theoretical proposition about national risk tolerance during crisis. This essay does not attempt to resolve the validity of that proposition. But the surviving argument must be recognized for what it is: a first principles assertion about political theory that has little to do with either law qua law or the discipline of history.

Zynga shares are surging 11.6% in morning trading after the social games company reported quarterly earnings that bested Wall Street expectations.
Zynga reported third-quarter revenue of $203 million and a loss of $68,000, well below the $35.6 million loss analysts had predicted.
Questions about the company's health intensified over the summer after laying off more than 500 employees. It was the largest layoff in the company's history.
And despite this morning's surge, Zynga has not performed well on Wall Street since launching its initial public offering at $10. It's currently trading at $3.95.
Also rising after upbeat earnings: Amazon and Microsoft. Shares of Amazon soared 7% off its third-quarter earnings results, which included a 24% boost in revenue.
Microsoft stock is up more than 6% after posting profits of $5.2 billion and $18.5 billion in revenue during the first quarter. This was the first quarter since Microsoft's reorganization that splits the company between commercial and consumer services.

The Reds strengthened their chances of making the play-offs when they claimed a 32-17 win over the Rebels in Melbourne.
The Reds strengthened their chances of making the Super Rugby play-offs when they claimed a 32-17 win over the Rebels in Melbourne on Friday.
This result was sewn up in the first half when the Brisbane-based franchise ran in three tries without reply to give them a handy 24-3 lead at half-time.
After James O'Connor opened the scoring with a penalty for the hosts in the 15th minute, the Reds struck back from the restart, with a try by 18-year-old wing Chris Feauai-Sautia, who came into the side as a late replacement for Digby Ioane.
The youngster got an easy run-in into the corner after latching onto a long pass from Quade Cooper close to the Rebels' try-line.
The Reds' best try, however, came in the 26th minute when Dom Shipperley rounded off a superb team effort, which started deep inside their own half.
In the build-up, Mike Harris caught the on-rushing Rebels defence off guard with a chip kick over their heads which he regathered.
Harris offloaded to Anthony Faingaa who then put Feauai-Sautia in the clear. The young speedster was hauled in from behind by Kurtley Beale but did well to throw an inside pass to Shipperley, who scored in the left-hand corner.
The third try came five minutes before the break when Cooper did well to create space for Adam Wallace-Harrison to dot down next to the Rebels' posts.
All three tries were converted by Mike Harris who also got the first points of the second half via a penalty in the 50th minute.
The home side suffered a further blow when O'Connor limped off shortly after the restart with a hamstring injury but their supporters were given a glimmer of hope when Kurtley Beale scored their first try under the posts after beating Scott Higginbotham with a neat side-step.
Ten minutes later Lachlan Mitchell scored their second try in the right-hand corner and when Beale landed a difficult conversion from close to the touchline the Rebels were trailing by 10 points (17-27).
This seemed to liven up their opponents who went in search of their bonus-point try. Their efforts were rewarded when Nick Frisby ran onto a flat pass from Will Genia before getting in in the corner.
This sealed the hosts' fate and it was a bitter pill to swallow for Rebels veterans Stirling Mortlock, Julian Huxley and Al Campbell who all played their final matches on Australian soil.
The Reds, however, are now in seventh spot on the table – just one below the play-off positions – and are on equal points with the Bulls and the Sharks.

The Necessary Limits to the Control of 'Excessive' Prices by Competition Authorities - A View from Europe
Damien Geradin
Tilburg Law & Economics Center (TILEC); University College London - Faculty of Laws
Tilburg University Legal Studies Working Paper
Excessive pricing is an area of competition law which differs significantly from most others. First, the notion of excessive pricing has failed to stimulate much economic analysis in Europe. This is in great part due to the fact that most studies on the economics of abusive pricing have focused on exclusionary pricing behavior, as such abuses are more frequent than exploitative ones. Moreover, excessive pricing is an antitrust offence only in a limited number of jurisdictions. There is also a widely accepted view that competition authorities are ill-suited to carry out price controls, a task which should be better left to sector-specific regulators. Because they intervene on an ad hoc basis, i.e. to sanction specific anti-competitive behavior, competition authorities cannot easily transform themselves into price regulators. Price regulation is a long-term effort which requires quasi-permanent supervision.
Against this background, the purpose of this paper is to review the case-law of the EU and of some of its Member States dealing with the control of excessive prices. This paper will also discuss current enforcement trends by the European Commission and National Competition Authorities, including recent cases and policy pronouncements by senior competition law officials. As will be seen, there is a growing consensus among competition agencies that controlling prices should be limited to exceptional circumstances. Moreover, where such circumstances justify them, given the inherent risks of costly mistakes and unintended adverse effects, price controls should be based on a sound economic analysis of market circumstances and carried out with the utmost caution.

I Made My Own World, CD (£11.50)
If I start this piece by calling Vernon Garrett a journeyman artist, many of you might see that as a criticism of his talents. Not at all, my friends - look in the Penguin English Dictionary and you'll find that the definition of 'Journeyman' is an experienced and reliable performer". Well, Vernon's still going strong in his sixth decade as a recording artist, and his recorded output has rarely veered towards the land of the unlistenable in all that time, so he's both "experienced" and "reliable" to the ears of soul fans. If the word journeyman, therefore, doesn't describe Vernon Garrett to a 'T' - and in the best possible manner - then I really can't think of one that describes him better.
Ace has been reissuing Vernon's recordings for years - both his solo sides and the excellent duets he cut with his late wife, Jewel - through the company's ownership of the Kent/Modern catalogue. Having been a mainstay of the UK Kent compilations catalogue since the early 80s, and having enough good repertoire on him to enable us to do so, we thought it was about time that we compiled the best of his solo and duet sides together in one full-value CD compilation. So we have - and I Made My Own World is the very pleasing result of our endeavours.
Although Vernon has several CDs available of his 80s, 90s and most recent recordings, this compilation is the only way for VG collectors to get the best of his 60s and 70s recordings in one place, an earlier Japanese CD anthology being long deleted. It features at least one take of each of his Kent and Modern 45s, some of which differ from the master takes that are available elsewhere on Kent but that are no less enjoyable for not being the masters. It also features several more of the best cuts from Vernon's stupidly rare Grenade album, again to complement those already reissued on Kent. (On several of these, Vernon is backed by a group of musicians that subsequently coalesced into late 70s funk/soul superpowers LTD featuring Jeffrey Osborne.) There are also highlights from a live 1964 Vernon and Jewel club date in Oakland, California that add immeasurably to the pathetically small cache of extant live soul sessions from that decade and that, again, have only previously been available on that long-deleted Japanese CD. And to top all this off, we located a previously unheard R&B mover from the Running Out session, I'm Guilty, that'll be guaranteed to get all the New Breeders 'at it' instantly. Oh, and did I mention that, as a bonus, we're giving the first legal release to the storming instrumental track - previously only available as one side of a bootleg 45 - to Vernon's Northern classic If I Could Turn Back the Hands Of Time here?
As well as all this great music, Vernon has been specially interviewed for the sleevenotes, by respected West Coast R&B authority Steve Propes, and Steve's notes tell the Vernon Garrett story in far greater detail than has ever been published before. Hey, is this a good CD or what?
The fine recordings that make up I Made My Own World prove that Vernon Garrett could and should have been more of a contender than history shows him to be. From top to bottom, this is first rate 60s and 70s soul from a singer who, given a few better breaks and a different set of circumstances, could have been as big as any one of his contemporaries in soul music. Still, it's never too late for success to come knocking, and this "experienced and reliable" artist continues to play to appreciative audiences in his twin strongholds of Southern California and Northern Texas, having really made his own world among his fan bases in both places. He's also released several newly recorded albums over the past decade and a half - and we at Ace are more than a little happy to add our own fine contribution to his CD catalogue with this most excellent collection.

Take Time to Bond with Your Kids
Historically, moms have been considered the emotional, nurturing center of the family unit while dads mostly brought home the proverbial bacon and meted out discipline when necessary. Dads' impact on their children's development and emotional health wasn't given much thought or weight. But scientists have begun to study the role of dads in the family and have discovered they have a much greater impact on their children than previously thought.
Research on family dynamics has tended to focus on mother-child relationships. But recent studies on father-child relationships have revealed that dads are just as important to the emotional well-being and adjustment of their kids, especially when it comes to father-daughter relationships. In fact, a good predictor of an adolescent girl's mental health is her relationship with her father. According to Dr. Obie Clayton, professor of Sociology at Morehouse College, "Kids tend to perform better when fathers interact with them on a regular basis…[they] have fewer disciplinary problems in school and they're less likely to use drugs and alcohol." He adds, "The effect that fathers have on daughters is extremely strong, even more so than for boys. When fathers interact with their daughters, those girls...learn through that father how men should treat them."
Fathers' interaction with their kids tends to be more physical, playful and humorous and less intimate, which researchers believe to be critical in teaching a child emotional self-control. These interactions also appear to be important in the development of a child's ability to maintain strong, fulfilling relationships later in life. But as more fathers take on a greater share of the child-rearing responsibilities, they are becoming more comfortable with being nurturers and not just buddies or conspirators in mischief and play.
So take time to bond with your kids! Here are some great ways to fit in some quality time into your busy schedule:
Childhood is a great opportunity for you to really get to know and love your kids, so take advantage of this special time in your child's life and help shape their future!

It is a useful thought experiment to consider what Luis Suárez would have to do for Liverpool to give him a dressing-down. I mean a proper dressing-down rather than a slap on the wrist prearranged with the player and his advisers to placate public anger.
The Uruguayan is a marvel on the pitch. Many of the most sparkling moments in the Premier League this season have emerged from his sublime imagination. But even the most one-eyed of the Anfield faithful would have to admit that he has dragged English football through the mud with a litany of misdemeanours.

|In response to Re: Street Elbow and brass shower valve
: : Hi,
: : Is it OK to sweat a copper street elbow directly into a brass valve (for a shower) or is it better to sweat a short lenght of pipe into the valve and then sweat an elbow onto the pipe. The first option is obviously easier, I also worry about trying to sweat to joints that are going to be so close together (is there a recommended minimum distance between sweat joints?).
: : Thanks,
: Using a street fitting is okay. It is a good idea to sweat all fittings that are close together at the same time. Because heat rises, I start with the lowest fitting and work my way up. You will probably want to remove the insides of the valve--the cartridge, disc, stem--what ever it has.
Does disassembling before sweating apply to all valves? (Stop, gate, etc.) This particular valve has an anti scald valve and built in stop valve, should I take everything apart?
Thanks again,

The Goalie Guild on Henrik Karlsson
Kent Wilson
August 24 2010 09:25AM
Recently, I was lucky enough to convince Justin Goldman* of the Goalie Guild to share some of his thoughts on new Flames goalie prospect Henrik Karlsson.
*Background - My name is Justin Goldman and I'm the founder of The Hockey Guild, a hockey event/promotions company based in Colorado. I started the Guild on June 1, 2007 in order to advance and enhance the local hockey experience in Colorado. Before I started this company,
I was the editor-in-chief of the Colorado Hockey Insider for over three years. CHI was a monthly hockey magazine I developed and built up alongside my publisher, from 2003-2007. I have been a proud member of the Pro Hockey Writer's Association (PHWA) since 2007 and I currently host two Colorado Avalanche radio shows here in Denver. Goaltending is my main passion, so you can learn more about The Goalie Guild and our scouting services at www.thegoalieguild.com at any time.
1.) You've been effusive in your praise for Karlsson since the Flames acquired him at the draft. What would you say his major strengths are?
Henrik Karlsson has tremendous size and a very solid, complete set of Swedish butterfly skills. He has great situational awareness and excellent patience, giving him a calm and composed demeanor. His combination of size and mobility allows him to employ an effective hybrid style. By that I mean he can make saves by blocking the puck with his strong positioning, but he has the reflexes and agility to make the reactionary, desperate save as well. One of his most noticeable strengths will be his ability to fill the net in an efficient, effortless and imposing manner. He is a big dude with an assertive attitude. He not easily rattled and he demands a lot of space in the crease. These are all traits that I have seen in numerous videos and would be considered strengths of his.
I suggest your readers check out our scouting report on Karlsson from a few months ago, which includes one of these videos and can be found here: http://www.thegoalieguild.com/
2.) You recently rated him as the 30th best goaltending prospect in the world, ahead of both Keetley and Irving. Is Karlsson a good bet to land the backup role in Calgary next year? In addition, do you see him being capable of being the starter should Kipper get hurt at any point?
Just to clarify, the Top-100 Rankings I have is for Long-Term Prospects and only includes goalies that have less than 25 games of NHL experience. So his age and his current opportunity is the main reason he has vaulted so high, so quickly. Although he has no experience in North America, a goalie that most fans learned about quickly last year - Jonas Gustavsson – just went through a similar situation and did an excellent job adjusting to the smaller ice rink and had a tremendous finish to the season. So I wouldn't be surprised to see Karlsson go through a similar progression, but because he is older and more experienced, Karlsson's transition should be smoother. He has a great mentor in Miikka Kiprusoff and with some performance bonuses tied into his contract, I think it's safe to say he's a lock as Calgary's backup. Leland Irving has to prove himself in the AHL this season and bounce back strong from a rough season, so there's no point in sitting him on the bench in Calgary for 60 games. Matt Keetley would have to perform god-like in training camp to even get a sniff at the job.
Regarding injuries to Kiprusoff, it would depend on the timing. There are many UFA's out there that will work for cheap. If Kiprusoff gets hurt early and Karlsson has hardly played, you'll see them bring in a veteran. If Kiprusoff is hurt late in the season, the Flames are in the playoffs (or way out), they will most likely give Karlsson as many games as possible. I can't say for sure this is Calgary's plan of action, but that's how I would handle it. They could do a myriad of other things, but those are likely scenarios. Karlsson is capable of logging heavy minutes and has the workhorse mentality. And since the Flames have to scout him in order to make a well-rounded decision when it comes time to sign or pass next June, he will get opportunities to play regardless of what's happening.
3.) You've noted more than once that Karlsson is similar to Leaf Jonas Gustavsson. In what ways would you compare them?
Aside from what I said above about the transitioning process from being a solid Elitserien goalie to an NHL rookie with no playing experience in North America, they both had the same goalie coach, Erik Granqvist, at Farjestad. Granqvist is a very progressive and elite goalie coach in Sweden and worked wonders with Gustavsson in a short period of time. Karlsson was learning the exact same things and was under the exact same tutelage. Like most elite goalie coaches, Granqvist tailored his teachings to enhance Karlsson's unique style, which works wonders for their future. Karlsson comes over with all of the tools needed to succeed. If you get a chance to talk to Jamie McClennan about his first impressions and I bet one of the things he mentions is the structure to his game – a sign of very good coaching. There are many other smaller similarities between the two, which I discuss in the scouting report I linked to earlier.
4.) Despite being 26 years old, Karlsson has never made the jump to North American Hockey. Any indications why?
To be honest and to-the-point, Swedish goalies sometimes take longer to develop the skills needed to succeed on a smaller ice surface. So being 26 years old and in his position, with about six years of experience in the SEL, is pretty much perfect. He has experience, his confidence won't be destroyed if he gives up a few bad goals and overall he just has great fundamentals. This is right about the age and time a goalie truly understands the mental capacities needed to succeed in the NHL for more than a season. Gustavsson was younger and you could tell he was playing with very little confidence in the first half of the season. I really don't think you'll notice much pressure at all on Karlsson's shoulders.
5.) What are some weaknesses Karlsson will have to work on?
Don't freak out, but everything. He's never played on a smaller rink before. So everything from angles, positioning and reading plays will need work. Skating before training camp opens will help, as will training camp itself. But nothing matches the intensity and speed of the regular season game. Flames fans should be advised not to get upset if he struggles in the first half. It's going to happen. He's going to need time to adjust to the speed and skill of players in the NHL. In fact, the more support he gets from fans and teammates, the better he will become. It's a natural nurturing process that goes quicker for some European imports and slower for others. I would expect him to transition a little smoother than Gustavsson, however.
Specifically, Karlsson has to improve his blocker side. He has a tendency to punch at pucks as opposed to directing them to the corners. He is not considered a strong puck mover, either. Finally, plays in tight and right around his crease will be an area of concern, as goalies in Sweden play with a full half-circle crease. The NHL uses a truncated crease, which makes it tougher for goalies to see shots cleanly, or without players directly to either side of them. So he'll have to work much harder at battling through more screens and traffic than ever before, which is not an easy thing to do in the NHL. Watch for these dynamics coming into play more clearly when he's killing off penalties.
(Thanks again to Justiin for the outstanding replies. Make sure to visit him at the Goalie Guild.)
While there may be some upside with this guy, if I were Keetley or Irving. I'd be ticked. While they may not have yet proven to be the future, just the thought of brining in an "unknown" and placing him ahead of you can serve as a "slap in the face" as Jokinen said. Although maybe, just maybe, this is an incentive for those two to step it up and take the job?
Thanks for posting this Kent, it's good insight. And I agree, I hope this does serve as incentive for Keetley &/or Irving to pick up their games this year.
I agree with the acquisition if it promotes better competition between the goalies. It's kind of the mentality John Hufnagel has with the Stampeders. If you want to keep your position on the team, you had better be better than the next guy who's trying to take that position from you.
What about David Shantz? Where'd he go?
From my perspective it is unclear whether Irving or Keetley can be NHL goaltenders. It seemed a whole lot clearer at the start of last year but as Kent said they had "fallen on their faces" last year.
At very least they haven't shown they are ready for the backup job this year.
I think it's important to note that Karlsson is not Gustavsson... His numbers were comparable to Rahm, and younger and smaller, goalie on the same team. Of course this comes with the Tim Thomas caveat - anything can happen - but it's a safe bet to say that if people are expecting Karlsson to be a Gustavsson-level goalie, then expect to be markedly disappointed.
I'd love to be proven wrong though.
August 24 2010, 04:20PM
I would've like to see Toskala stick around for another year. Its a shame that his ego got in the way of a possible career rejuvenation playing behind Kipper. I don't have an opinion on Karlsson either way right now. His numbers seem fine but that doesn't mean much until we get a chance to see him play with the big boys in the NHL. I hope Irving has a good season because I would hate to see another one of our 1st round picks just fade into nothingness...

Sarah Palin-Impersonating Porn Star Strips for RNC Delegates at GOP-Themed Club in Tampa
Sarah Palin may be a no-show at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, but, for some delegates at least, it seems her porn star double Lisa Ann is an adequate substitute.
The adult film actress, who has been making bank from her Palin resemblance since 2008, is best known to mainstream audiences from her role as Serra Paylin in the political porn parody Who's Nailin' Paylin?.
A dental assistant by trade, Ann arrived in Tampa over the weekend to perform a GOP-themed strip show at Thee DollHouse strip club on N. Westshore Blvd.
"Sarah Palin is in the house tonight!" Ann — I mean Paylin — exclaimed, before proceeding to remove her business skirt and black corset to reveal the two things that clearly set her apart from the GOP's 2008 VP nominee — her 38DDs.
According to the New York Post, the raunchy rally's attendees responded to the political striptease with approving hoots.
As for who those attendees were, at least one Thee DollHouse employee insists some were in town for the RNC.
"The main people I'm seeing is Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C.," Tiffany Mitchell, who checks IDs at the door, told the Tampa Bay Times. "They are dressed nicer, more conservative. Business casual for the men and Ann Taylor Loft for the women, for sure."

We are coming into the home stretch for our Thanksgiving dinner. How about my favorite today, dessert. There are all kinds of desserts that go with Thanksgiving. The two traditional biggies are pumpkin pie, and today's topic, pecan pie. For pumpkin pie there are hundreds of different recipes providing flavor enhancements from cream cheese, to vanilla, and even alcoholic spirits. However, pecan pie seems to be more limited in the variety of flavor profiles.
There has been a lot of chatter in the media regarding the over abundance of corn syrup, or high fructose corn syrup, in processed foods. Many health experts are encouraging us to read labels and avoid too much of these corn syrup sweeteners. For the past 80 years pecan pie has been made with corn syrup.
As the story goes, in the early 1900s corn syrup was made and marketed by the Corn Products Refining Company of New York and Chicago. By the early 1930s they were looking for ideas to sell more product. The wife of one of their executives came up with a recipe for pecan pie, made with corn syrup. The company published the recipe and people all across America began to make pecan pie with corn syrup. Since that time, corn syrup as a sweetener has exploded to the point that we are now encouraged to reduce our intake.
This recipe is a favorite of mine and I believe produces the finest pecan pie you can serve to your guests. This pie needs to cool for at least 4 to 5 hours before it can be cut. Therefore, you can make this pie first thing in the morning and let it rest all day. It will be perfect by dinnertime.
First, we'll start with a pie crust and then we will work on the filling. If you must, use a store bought pie crust, but try making it yourself, at least just once.
Pecan Pie
Pie Crust (1 deep pie crust)
1Ľ cups all purpose flour
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into quarter inch slices
Ľ teaspoon salt
Ľ cup ice cold water
Place flour, butter and salt in food processor and pulse until a rough texture is achieved, (butter will be tiny pieces).
Add the water and pulse until dough is just sticky, turn out onto a floured surface.
(All of this can be done by hand, it just takes a little longer.)
Work dough with your hand 2 or 3 times only, then compress into a ball and flatten until about ľ of an inch thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
When ready, place cooled dough on a floured surface and try to press down with the palm of your hand. If the dough starts to break wait, allow it to sit and warm up a little, 15 minutes should do. Roll out dough in a large circle to be about 2 inches wider that your pie plate. Roll dough up onto your rolling pin and lay it out over the pie plate. Pat dough down into plate and cut off the excess around the sides, (some folks like to crimp the edges), set aside in refrigerator while you make filling.
Pie Filling
1 cup pure maple syrup, less 3 tablespoons (do not use any substitute)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
˝ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon molasses, (not black strap)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ˝ inch pieces
˝ teaspoon salt
1 whole egg
5 large egg yolks
1˝ cups pecan halves, toasted in oven for about 6 minutes at 350, cooled
Place oven rack to lowest position and preheat oven to 425.
In sauce pan heat maple syrup, sugar, cream and molasses until sugar dissolves, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, whisk in butter and salt, transfer to another bowl to cool for 10 minutes. Combine eggs and whip by hand for a couple of minutes. Temper your maple syrup mixture into the beaten eggs a little at a time.
Remove pie crust from refrigerator, or take your thawed store bought deep pie crust, and place pecan halves in bottom of pie shell. Pour liquid filling over pecans.
Place pie on lowest rack in oven and REDUCE heat to 325. Bake until filling is set and only jiggles slightly, about 45 to 60 minutes.
When done remove from oven and allow to cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. If you try to slice it too soon it may not be set. Allow to come up to room temperature before slicing.
