'The Rajah quilt' on view
The Rajah quilt has captured the imagination of National Gallery of Australia visitors since its acquisition in 1989, and is the most frequently requested object for viewing in the Gallery's Collection Study Room, however until now it has only been able to be shown folded in its box.
The Gallery's textile conservators have advised that the quilt be made available for viewing only once a year, due to its size, fragility and the light-sensitive nature of its materials.
From 7–13 August 2006 The Rajah quilt will be on display, unfolded, for 1 hour per day, in the Gallery's Small Theatre. Its display will be supported with related lectures on the quilt's history, construction and conservation.
Opening this month
The Crafted Object
26 August – 10 December
The crafted object 60s–80s brings together a wide range of Australian craft works from the national collection, many of which were acquired early in the Gallery's history and have not been displayed for over a decade.
This exhibition focuses on the period from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, when a revival of studio craft practices opened up new possibilities for expression in the visual arts in Australia.

We treat our Stevia with a special enzymatic process that results in a clean, superior tasting sweetener. Our attention to quality guarantees freshness in every serving and gives BetterStevia a well-rounded sweet taste that is very close to that of pure sugar, without the calories or guilt.

When Lindsey Murray gets in her starting position and stares down at the pit before she prepares to vault, she really only has but one thought in her head. She just wants to do better than she did the last time.
Its the perseverance and drive that makes the Harrisburg High School junior the state contender she has become the past three years for the Bulldog track and field team.
Murray doesn't shy away from her expectations. It's made her the athlete she is today. Truth be told, Murray is rarely content with anything significant.
"I constantly feel like I have more pressure on me," Murray said as she prepares for her third straight appearance in the pole vault at this weekend's IHSA Class 2A State Track & Field finals at Eastern Illinois University.
"I'm older, I'm supposed to be more experienced and I'm just expected to jump higher."
Murray has made significant strides - even this year - as she surpassed last year's state performance of 10-foot-9 to achieve a height of 11-foot-7, setting the record at Harrisburg High School. That height was also a meet record at this year's Benton Invitational.
She returns to EIU in quest of becoming a champion and while she knows she has some stiff competition, she also has some personal goals in mind.
"I just want another PR," Murray said Thursday prior to leaving for Charleston. "I would like to place in the top three. That's my goal, but I just thank God everyday for giving me this opportunity. It's something that doesn't come along very often and I've been able to do it for three years in a row now. I don't take that for granted and I don't take for granted the support I have had from many family and friends a long the way."
Murray will have to compete in today's preliminary's, just to make it to Saturday's finals.
She qualified at sectionals with a jump of 9-9 and did so on a pair of new poles she admits she wasn't very confident with.
Murray said she's moved up with several poles since then and has a bag of three she's using this week.
One is a 12-6, 145 pole, the other two include a 12-6, 150 pole and a 13-1, 130 pole.
In a practice session after sectionals, Murray cleared 11-4. That might have pushed Murray to keep going, but she has another force close by her side that pushes her even more.
Murray's mom, Julia is always watching with intensity when her daughter jumps. It's that intensity that Murray says keeps her on her toes.
"She's my biggest supporter and she is on top of things. She makes sure I get my workout in. She pushes me, but I wouldn't have it any other way."
Page 2 of 2 - Also by Murray's side is longtime friend Ron Brachear, who Murray says with his continued support and dedication, she wouldn't be where she's at.
"I definitely wouldn't be here without Ron. I never would have even thought about the pole vault. He introduced me to it and I wouldn't be where I'm at without his coaching. He's changed my life."

"Bought these to replace a pair of girly flats and they were the only ones I could find that I liked and were white. I bought them and they are very comfortable and very versatile.

I know I've mentioned this before...
But I LOVE Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet. It's in my personal Top 10 of all time, that's how much I love it. Thank you Eleni and Corelli for giving me the DVD. I should watch it tonight since Leo's rekindled my quiver.
Anyway, the AFI Awards are happening in Hollywood this afternoon and look!
It's Leo and Claire! It's Romeo and Juliet!
Just for fun, I'm pulling some old photos of the two in similar poses. How young! (I was too!)
God, when they smiled at each other, I exploded in the theatre. Even now, just watching the trailer.
I totally forgot Paul Rudd was in it.
PS. Have you ever seen them rehearsing the pool scene? They are LITTLE KIDS. It's the second video below.

"I love this brand. nice padding in the sole, nice fit"

"The sizing for this shoe runs kind of weird. Order a half size up if you can. Since I wear a 10, I couldn't order half size up because that option wasn't available. I did try on the 11, and it was way too big and wide... just sloppy looking, so I stuck with the 10. It's a perfect fit if you don't go up a half size, meaning there's no space behind the heel or in front of the foot. I personally like my sandals to have a slight space in the back and front of the foot so my feet won't look too big for the shoe. But, I decided to keep the 10, because I was looking for a sandal that I could wear to the theme park that wouldn't fall off my foot on rollercoaster rides. Getting your normal size is doable, and while the toes don't hang over, it's still a perfect fit with no extra room. These are so comfy with lots of cushion, and the ankle strap is so cute. I was able to walk in these for 7hrs straight. The ankle strap helped keep my foot in the shoe during rollercoaster rides, and I had recently hurt the heel of my foot so this shoe was also great, because it allowed for my heel to breathe with nothing rubbing against it while it healed with a band aid.

Italy kick-off their November schedule with a must-win fixture against Tonga as they look to build confidence before facing New Zealand.
Italy will kick-off their November Test schedule with a vital fixture against Tonga as they attempt to build some confidence before taking on the All Blacks and Wallabies later this month.
June victories against Canada and the USA on foreign soil brought a boost to the Azzurri and Jacques Brunel has stressed the importance of backing the wins up in their series opener against the islanders, who boast such names as Fetu'u Vainikolo, Taniela Moa and Viliami Ma'afu.
"We have been training with the best possible squad but we're not thinking about the two games we have coming up later" revealed coach Brunel.
"We have won three of our last four games and our goal is to keep the momentum going. The only game I am thinking about is Tonga, we're not thinking about what comes later."
This year's November series has been given an added dimension as it will decide the seedings for next month's draw for World Cup 2015 in England. And while that will be an incentive for both teams, Italy will start Saturday's match as firm favourites for victory.
Tonga's last success over Italy was a 28-25 win in Leicester during the 1999 World Cup. The Azzurri have since made amends with a 36-10 victory in the 2003 World Cup and a 48-0 rout in Prato, Italy in 2005. After Saturday's game Tonga head coach Mana 'Otai will lead his side against the United States, Scotland and Premiership outfit Newcastle Falcons. Although they have been in Brescia training this week, Mana had little time in which to trim his Sea Eagles squad during a three-day training camp in Gruissan, France.
"We tried to concentrate on giving the players the tools, patterns and plays they will need during the tour without overloading them during the two-and-a-half days we had to work with," said the Tongan coach.
Despite his claims, meanwhile, Brunel appears to have one eye on the All Blacks and Wallabies Tests having left some established players on the bench. While Italy wing Mirco Bergamasco is sidelined with injury, prop Martin Castrogiovanni is in jersey eighteen.
"Both are international level props but Cittadini has played more at this early stage of the season than Castrogiovanni and in his hometown I think Lorenzo deserves the chance to start the game," added Brunel.
"Cittadini has already played in the position at the Six Nations when Castrogiovanni was injured and in recent weeks Castro has not played much with the Tigers."
Influential number eight Sergio Parisse will start and London Wasps full-back Andrea Masi makes his return having missed the June tour of North America.
"Andrea is in great physical condition, his confidence is flying and I think he will make a good contribution," said Brunel.
South African-born Tobias Botes comes in at scrum-half following a mediocre Six Nations tournament which he exited with an elbow injury against Scotland. Meanwhile, making his debut will be Tommaso Iannone, who has forced wing Giovambattista Venditti on to the bench thanks to some strong performances for Treviso and the absence of Bergamasco.
"The choice was between Iannone and Venditti, given the unavailability of Mirco Bergamasco," added Brunel.
"But he's not such a surprise inclusion. He has been strong for Treviso and also impressive in training.
"Either we wait, or we get him in there quickly, and we chose the latter option."
Prediction: Italy should use their structured game to grind out a win by around 15 points!
The teams:
Italy: 15 Andrea Masi, 14 Tommaso Iannone, 13 Tommaso Benvenuti, 12 Alberto Sgarbi, 11 Luke McLean, 10 Kristopher Burton, 9 Tobias Botes, 8 Sergio Parisse (capt), 7 Robert Barbieri, 6 Alessandro Zanni, 5 Joshua Furno, 4 Quintin Geldenhuys, 3 Lorenzo Cittadini, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini 1 Andrea Lo Cicero.
Replacements: 16 Davide Giazzon, 17 Alberto De Marchie, 18 Martin Castrogiovanni 19 Antonio Pavanello, 20 Simone Favaro, 21 Edoardo Gori, 22 Luciano Orquera, 23 Giovambattista Venditti.
Tonga: 15 Vungakoto Lilo, 14 Fetu'u Vainikolo, 13 Sukanaivalu Hufanga, 12 Sione Piukala, 11 Viliami Helu, 10 Fangatapu 'Apikotoa, 9 Taniela Moa (capt), 8 Viliami Ma'afu, 7 Sione Vaiomo'unga, 6 Sitiveni Mafi, 5 Tukulua Lokotui, 4 Joe Tu'ineau, 3 Halani 'Aulika, 2 Elvis Taione, 1 Alisona Taumalolo.
Replacements: 16 Ilaisa Ma'asi, 17 Tevita Mailau, 18 Hale T-Pole, 19 Paula Kaho, 20 Samisoni Fisilau, 21 Alipate Fatafehi, 22 Viliame Iongi, 23 Soane Tonga'uiha.

Instruction Memorandum No. 2013-177
Expires: 09/30/2014
To: State Directors
From: Assistant Director, Minerals and Realty Management
Subject: NEPA Compliance for Oil and Gas Lease Reinstatement Petitions
Program Area: Oil and Gas Leasing.
Purpose: This Instruction Memorandum (IM) directs all oil and gas leasing offices to: 1) ensure Resource Management Plan (RMP) conformance; 2) evaluate the adequacy of existing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis and documentation; and 3) complete any necessary new or supplemental NEPA analysis and documentation before approving a Class I or Class II oil and gas lease reinstatement petition.[1]
Policy/Action: Before approving or denying an oil and gas lease reinstatement petition, all Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offices must review applicable RMPs and NEPA documentation to:
Leasing offices must support their decision to reinstate a terminated oil and gas lease through a NEPA review with a Determination of NEPA Adequacy (DNA) or Environmental Assessment (EA)/Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), as appropriate. For all Class II lease reinstatement Federal Register Notices (FRN) sent to the Washington Office (WO), the State Director will include in the FRN reinstatement package:
To document a DNA review, complete the DNA Worksheet, Attachment 1 (also found in Appendix 8, at page 161 of the BLM NEPA Handbook, (H-1790-1), at http://www.blm.gov/style/medialib/blm/wo/Planning_and_Renewable_Resources/NEPS.Par.95258.File.dat/h1790-1-2008-1.pdf, and attached to this IM as Attachment 1). Section 5.1 (pp. 22-25) of the handbook provides instructions for identifying and reviewing existing RMPs and NEPA documents, considering whether additional public involvement is necessary, and documenting findings. A DNA may rely on one existing NEPA document (e.g., a RMP EIS) or relevant aspects of multiple NEPA documents (e.g., a RMP EIS and an EA prepared before leasing).
Plan Conformance Review
Review the existing RMP or any ongoing draft or proposed RMP revision or amendment to determine whether planning decisions, stipulations required for new leases, or the area open to leasing have changed since the BLM originally issued the lease, or would change under the Preferred Alternative of the draft or proposed RMP revision or amendment. Document the review through the DNA documentation process. If there are no changes in the RMP or the Preferred Alternative of a draft or proposed RMP revision or amendment, the state office may approve the reinstatement if the petition meets all other requirements.
The state office must deny reinstatement of the lease if the existing RMP or the Preferred Alternative in a draft or proposed RMP revision or amendment closes or would close all or a portion of the lease area to leasing. If the state office denies the reinstatement, the state office will refund the pre-paid rental and the publication costs.
Conduct additional NEPA analysis if the existing RMP and its NEPA analysis are no longer adequate and the RMP is not currently undergoing amendment or revision. Through the analysis, and if appropriate, consider adding additional existing RMP lease stipulations to the lease parcel (see H-1601-1, Chapter VI, Section H. 3. and 4.) or modifying existing stipulations on the lease (see H-1601-1, Chapter VI, Section H. 6.
If the RMP was revised or amended subsequent to the issuance of the original lease and the updated RMP identifies new lease stipulations for the affected area that are not currently included in the lease, or identifies modifications to stipulations that are included in the lease, the state office must condition the reinstatement on inclusion of those stipulations or modified stipulations in the reinstated lease. The BLM may condition a reinstatement on the lessee's agreement to new or modified stipulations. (This is not limited to the rental and royalty provisions, which the statute and regulations require to be changed for Class II reinstatements.) For example, if the BLM has updated the RMP to require a new or modified stipulation for improved protection of a particular species, the state office will condition the reinstatement on the lessee's agreement to the new or modified stipulation.
If the BLM is in the process of revising or amending its RMP and the Draft Plan or Plan Amendment has not yet been released for public comment, determine whether to approve or deny reinstatement using the existing RMP decisions (see H-1601-1, Chapter VII, Section E, Status of Existing Decisions During the Amendment or Revision Process). If the BLM is in the process of revising or amending its RMP and is in the Draft or Proposed Plan or Plan Amendment stage, the BLM will evaluate through the NEPA process the appropriateness of applying to the lease, at a minimum, the applicable lease restrictions (stipulations, no leasing, etc.) that would apply to that parcel of land in the Preferred Alternative. The state office will deny the reinstatement if the lessee does not agree to the additional or modified stipulations. In that event, the state office will refund the pre-paid rental and publication costs.
NEPA Compliance
Review the existing NEPA documentation related to the leases to determine whether it is adequate to support reinstatement or whether new or supplemental NEPA analysis is necessary.
The lease may be eligible for reinstatement if the "NEPA Adequacy Criteria" in the DNA Worksheet indicates that the existing NEPA documentation is sufficient (e.g., because circumstances have not changed since the BLM issued the lease and there is no new information relevant to environmental concerns).
However, if there is new information, or if circumstances have changed (e.g., different resource conditions, recent endangered species listings, updated BLM sensitive species listings, or new regulations or policies), or the "NEPA Adequacy Criteria" indicate that the existing NEPA documentation is no longer adequate for other reasons, then additional NEPA analysis is required. In that event, leasing offices will prepare an EA/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) (or EIS, as appropriate) to inform the decision approving or denying the reinstatement petition. Leasing offices may conduct the additional NEPA analysis and documentation through a standalone EA/FONSI or EIS prepared for the reinstatement decision, or may incorporate the parcel into an EA/FONSI or EIS prepared for an upcoming quarterly lease sale involving the same field office. The leasing office must conduct the additional NEPA analysis in a prompt and timely manner. If the BLM is considering a standalone EA for the lease parcel, it may be appropriate to tier the EA to the RMP/EIS or to the EA for an earlier quarterly lease sale involving the same field office. The EA for the proposed reinstatement can then narrow its focus to issues that are ripe for decision. (See Incorporating by Reference and Tiering, H-1780-1 – NEPA Handbook, p. 25.)
Administrative Costs
The RMP conformance review and NEPA compliance cost are part of the "administrative costs" of a Class II reinstatement under 30 U.S.C. § 188(e), for which recovery is capped at $500 under that section, and which are paid through the $500 administrative fee required under 43 CFR 3108.2-3(b)(3)(vi). Therefore, additional cost recovery for NEPA analysis would not apply for Class II reinstatements. The fee for Class I reinstatements is included in the fixed fee schedule. Determining whether existing NEPA analysis is adequate is not a unique processing cost within the meaning of 43 CFR 3000.11(a) and therefore, not a proper subject for cost recovery. If analysis shows that an EIS is necessary for a Class I lease reinstatement, the EIS would be a proper subject for cost recovery under section 3000.11(a). Because the relatively low cost of an EA directed only to reinstatement of one or a group of leases is likely to be less than the cost to the agency of collecting the costs of the EA, leasing offices ordinarily would not pursue cost recovery for an EA for a Class I reinstatement.
Attachment 1 – Lease Reinstatement Process Table outlines the steps for reviewing and documenting RMP conformance and NEPA adequacy and completing any additional NEPA analysis and documentation that may be necessary before approving a reinstatement.
If the authorized officer finds that the reinstatement will not afford the lessee a reasonable opportunity to continue operations under the lease, a lease extension, as allowed under 43 CFR 3107.6, should be considered.
Timeframe: Implement immediately.
Budget Impact: Additional resources will be needed to complete the RMP and NEPA review and documentation, and if applicable, NEPA analysis for the reinstatement petition.
Background: Historically, the BLM had considered reinstatement of a lease terminated for nonpayment of rent to be a routine administrative action. The Office of the Solicitor has advised the BLM that the lease becomes eligible for reinstatement at the Secretary's discretion if the petition for reinstatement meets the requirements of the regulations. Since a reinstatement is discretionary, the BLM could decline to reinstate a lease. Because circumstances may have changed, or new information may have become available, since the BLM first issued the lease, the BLM must determine whether existing NEPA analysis is adequate to support reinstatement or whether additional NEPA analysis and corresponding documentation or new or modified lease stipulations are necessary before reinstating a lease.
Manual/Handbook Sections Affected: The BLM will incorporate this guidance into H-3108-1, Continuation, Extension or Renewal of Leases (O&G Adjudication Handbook) during the next revision.
Coordination: The Washington Office Division of Fluid Minerals coordinated preparation of this policy with the U.S. Department of the Interior Office of the Solicitor, BLM Washington Office, BLM State and Field Offices, and Division of Decision Support, Planning and NEPA.

As long if it is an option I am OK with it.
Interesting how Firor is spending Dev resources to integrate "Out of Game" Social Features to TESO, but when it comes to "In Game" Social Features like Housing and/or Player Cities its "Too Hard"
Its also going to be funny when some guild loses a Relic Raid....sorry.....Scroll Raid because the Healer was sending a Tweet.

No thanks. This whole "import your friends into ESO" business will only work for friends who have also linked their accounts. And many might refrain from doing so due to already crumbling safety of web-anonymity. Also, if you link your account, probably every single one of your friends on facebook will be able to see if, when and how long you are / have been playing ESO. That doesn't lead to social connectedness, only to social awkwardness. edit: Also, I play MMOs to escape things like facebook where everyone and their sister always wants something or has some new thing he wants to tell everyone and his mother about. ... I don't need that in my games, no thank you.
So true.
Integrating your MMORPG lifestyle into your Facebook profile is like integrating your crack lifestyle or gambling addiction on your Facebook profile. It invites people you don't want in your life into your life, and it gives the people who are in your life a window into your less-savory habits.
Just like you don't want your crack-smoking friends to say on your Facebook, "let's head for the spot tonight!," you don't want your guild lieutenants saying, "hey, we're heading to Onyxia tonight!" Do you really, really want someone from HR getting wind of how much you and your guild raid? Do you want chicks who are checking you out to know how much time and money you put into elves and orcs?
Look, I've played with some pretty interesting folks out in cyberland. I'm sure you'd meet some pretty interesting people smoking weed in a basement or sitting next to you in the slots room at the riverboat casino. But do you want to integrate these people--all of these people--into your life? I'm not sure you do in most cases.
This isn't about you, this move on TESO's part. This isn't about adding value to your experience. It's about them, the publishers, and their ability to access, sell, re-sell and commoditize your information and your social network. Because once you let them in (as anyone who has ever downloaded a Facebook app knows), they can make money off of you, even if you buy nothing from them.

As long as external social media sites are not forced or put you at a disadvantage I will try the game but if FB or twitter are forced in some way I will not only not play but be very vocal about why I don't.
Bad idea if not done right, make it option I can completely turn off with no degradation in gameplay and I'm cool.
Starting to get worried about this title.

Sadly, dumb repetitive things entertain people without ever getting old to them.. People still enjoy talking about bacon and laughing at Chuck Norris jokes in game chat. It's usually a sign of a low IQ.
The continued assumption that Intelligence Quotient is considered a viable, or even relivent in intelligent society is usually a sign of lesser education.
TESO does not need Facebook or Twitter.
TESO needs only what any other Elder Scrolls game has.
1.Mood! A dust storm here and there like in Morrowind! Some blizzards here and there like in Skyrim! Some epic music to make you freeze in a spot and enjoy the moon! You know what I'm talking about!
2.Epic Story!
3.Nothing else!
Gondor has no Facebook! Gondor needs no Facebook.
I wish they take the person/s who are pushing for this "social" crap and boil them in hot oil.
Oh! And don't give us that "Our engine 200 people derka derka blabla" crap!
Make the game look as beautiful as any other Elder Scrolls game or you will fail!
It's as simple as that!
No "Engine" excuses for the lack of skills in the art department please!

Reading through these comments I've noticed a trend.
People like to complain about everything and anything including things that are optional.

How weird is this statement coming from intelligent people?
Hey, don't misquote me. I said "to escape THINGS like facebook".
It was a hyperbolic statement, really. You could just read it as "I play games to escape real life when I want to". Facebook, at least for me, is a buzzing cesspool of people wanting to chat all day long because they don't know how to entertain themselves when they are by themselves. And when I decide to waste my time on my computer, I'd like to do something I enjoy. Mindless chatting about daily life irrelevances is no such thing.
And whatever do you mean by "weird coming from intelligent people"? Is it really that weird to want to have some time OFF from the ever-present moral duty of social connectedness? I mean, sure, I could just leave my computer off for a change, but I actually DO enjoy playing MMOs for the fun of it (as opposed to f.e. e-peen comparison, which is what "socially connecting" ingame affairs will boil down to eventually anyway) ...

Grateful for what!? The developers finally making a multiplayer version of TES and screwing it up by trying to copy the same crap the MMO genre has been spewing out at us for the past few years. Pull the block from out your glass and stop looking at it from only your perspective.
Look at the result of SWTOR trying to please the MMO crowd instead of appealing to KOTOR and SWG fans. The MMO people left the game within the first few months and you have nothing but the true SW fans playing an undefined game wishing it was so much more.
People who won't let the genre grow are the schmocks. People who think that every game has to be the practically the same to define itself as a "MMO". I didn't want a flipping Elder Scrolls MMO, I wanted a multiplayer version of my beloved game in an online persistant world. They did not have to make the main focus of ESO about a war. They did not have to force people into factions, they could have stayed true to the source material.
Most of us understand TES greater than the developers designing this crap. We don't know how bad they've screwed it up at this point, personally I'm hoping for anything above fubar. TES is about exploration, choices, freedom - you're naive to believe that they had to design it the way they did.
I'm not looking for an oppertunity to complain, I am heartbroken at another great IP going down a horrible road. I'm angry and expressing myself the best way I know how.

Skip to comments.5 Delicious Ways To Drink Beet Juice With Your Booze
Posted on 01/17/2013 9:58:21 PM PST by nickcarraway
My mother is obsessed with beets. She grows the plants in the backyard, puts them on just about everything and insists that theyre how she stays as healthy as she is (that and her immunities are pretty much Helms Deep after teaching hundreds of elementary schoolers for 7 years). Since my immunities are rather low, shes always tried to get me to eat them but I just never knew how to eat beets in a way I actually enjoyed. I always found that the flavor overwhelmed my palette and when you dont enjoy something, you tend to not go out of your way to eat it, even when its good for you.
And trust me, beets are good for you: they have no trans fat or saturated fat, have folic acid, and they contain magnesium, iron, calcium, phosperous, fiber, niacin and vitamins A, B and C. They can give you tons of energy because theyre high in sugar, but theyre low in calories and digest slowly so the sugar isnt released into your system all at once the way candys energy boost works. Plus, theyre supposedly an aphrodisiac because they contain lots of boron, which is related to humans production of sex hormones. Basically, if you need energy, nutritional value and sexual health benefits all in one item, beets are it. But if you dont like them, how can you squeeze such an awesome food into your diet?
Fortunately, Ive been exploring some new bars in the area I just moved to and found a place that serves a beet cocktail. I dont recall exactly what was in it, but it was close to the version above, which includes beet juice, sugar and lemon juice (except mine had vodka). When I called my mom to tell her, she was both shocked and thrilled that beet cocktails exist and that I had actually enjoyed something with beet juice in it. Since I love to make her happy, I figured I would spread her beet mission message for the world via my personal favorite recipes to make: cocktails!
So if youre a little confused about how to eat beets or simply want to gain the nutrition from them without quite so much of the taste, mixing them up in a fantastic drink is a great way to achieve that! Whether its for a refreshing glass to go with your lunch or a healthier-than-normal nightcap, youll find that beet juice cocktails are pretty fantastic in every respect.
Never really cared for Beets(to sweet) or pickled eggs but I just had a few last month and I sprinkled a little salt on them pickled eggs.
They was pretty darn good.
Personally, I like them with butter and a little salt, but whatever floats your boat.
(Directed at the author, not necessarily you, Nick)
I also dice them into things like spaghetti sauce, soups, stews, and meat pies.
The author is correct. Beets are almost a miracle food.
I just might try a beet cocktail.
I love beets. Cook the tops like spinach, eat the root stewed or pickled. Best veggie ever!
Thes sure look better that when old guys would fish them out of the communal jar at the tavern LOL
I love beets - red ones, purples ones, golden one........doesn't matter.
(I know this isn't recipe time)
However, my favorite way to fix them is wrap them in foil after putting a little salt and pepper and roast them till soft.........yumm!!!!!
(Much better if you peel them first, but if you cook them with the skins, the skins do come off rather easily after cooking.)
LOL.... glad you added your comment, because at first glace, I thought you did "pretty" cooking.
I like to eat them once or twice a decade.
Well, dang it, Johnny, I'm going to let you know.
The ones I had last month were put up in a plain ball mason jar.
I never really liked them that much as a kid, but they were pretty good.
If our Dear Lord had thought beets and booze went together there would be a beet booze.
Is there? No! Proof....
There's liquor flavored like apples, cherries, peppermint, cinnamon, oranges, walnuts(?), vanilla, Red Square sweepings, and burnt corn poured through burn maple... but there is no booze that sports a beet on the label.
I rest my case.
When I depended on arm wresting for survival and beer drinking, my diet largely consisted of pickled eggs, and those little bags of peanuts that used to sell for 25 cents in bars, and of course beer.
That tale about pickled eggs that have been sitting in the jar on the bar for years, is true, I have asked for an egg and had the bartender explain to me that they have been sitting there forever, untouched, (I ate them anyway). I have also seen bars that don't know better, or care, and that just keep throwing boiled eggs into the juice from some ancient original purchase of store-bought pickled eggs (I ate those as well).
My first canning was of pickled eggs (pickle first, then can), and I canned them on a hot plate, it is a great way to preserve eggs, and probably beats 'glassing'.
Beets really help to color and jazz up pickled eggs, and are a good match for the pickling.
It is funny because it is true.
Gustavson goes after those eggs after the kitchen has been closed for 2 hours LOL
I was raised in a household that always had pickled cucumbers, onions(various) and or beets on the dinner table..
Sometimes the beets were canned beets pickled.. BUT
the difference between canned beets and fresh beets
boiled until fairly soft there's no comparison..
Cider vinegar infused with various herbs and maybe garlic..
Olive oil infused with herbs in the same way...
a little Brown sugar.. salt and pepper..
as a kicker a dab of sesame oil... (optional)
some water (to taste)..
** let stand for a few hours or even a day or two..
and for an adventure add some boiled eggs...
We're talking snack city here..
Taste the pickle... If it tastes GOOD to you
the veggies will taste good to you.. a little
more salt or brown sugar may be needed..
For some making it all HOT(picante/peppers) will
add intrigue... and "interest"..
Hated them as a kid. Mom served them at nearly every dinner. As an adult, I can't get enough. I love them.
I am a soap maker and use the juice as a natural colorant for some of my soaps.
It's never before crossed my mind, but I am willing to give "it a shot."
I'll let you know!
Oven roasted with salt & pepper. Great!
OKay. DrO has started eating beets, so now I just have to make a trip across the river to the Liquor store.
I loved beets when I was a kid. My Grandmother would serve them fresh steamed with butter salt and pepper or pickled in the summertime. I have not had them so much as an adult... not sure why. I think I'll be adding them back into the menu.
It's vodka! What's to desecrate?
We've squozen our whole supply.
try making Barszcz / borscht — it's delicious
There aren't very many foods I won't eat. Beets made the list.
way 6, pour down toilet!
Cooked ground red beets, fresh horseradish and vinegar, sugar to taste, mix and enjoy.
Best recipe for drinking with beets: One large beet, a quart of Makers Mark. Drink 1/2 of the Maker's Mark with branch water. Throw the beet out into the yard. Shoot rabbits that go after the beet (be careful of loading the gun with all the MM in you). Have wife retrieve rabbit and clean it. Have her use your best rabbit recipe. Drink rest of Makers Mark while watching her. Eat until you are full.
Where do you get beet juice??
Beets and greens fresh from the garden with a big pat of butter...nom. My wife grows a ton of beets...
Amazon, Swanson's, any decent health food store...
The Beetlejuice picture cracked me up!
It's the borscht with the morscht babe?
I just remembered this... I was watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives the other day and one of the restaurants made Beet Sliders. Guy thought they were extraordinary. Apparently they were one of the main attractions of the place and it was within a few blocks of a restaurant that Guy owns (you could tell he was a bit worried about the competition).
Just to clarify the authors confusion, Drinking is not Eating.
Drinking a cocktail is not the same as eating, say pickled beets.
Many thanks.
Slice thin or mince into a kettle 10 pounds of sugar beets.
Add just enough water to cover and bring to a boil.
Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain off this liquid and retain. Retain the pulp.
Repeat the previous three steps to the pulp. Discard the pulp. (Give it to the bunnies.)
Combine the liquids and simmer until the steam no longer has a rank odor.
If the liquid is less than a gallon, add water to make it so. If it's more than a gallon, boil it off till it is.
Cool to below 110°F, and add one package Fleischmann's yeast.
Bump for happy hour.

Millsite Golf Course has long been considered a tough course to play. Plans are underway to help make things a bit easier on the golfer. The troubles start on hole number one. When teeing off, many balls end up off the course in some pretty rough terrain. This slows down play and leads to a lot of missing balls and added strokes to your game. The golf course improvement committee studied hole number one to see what steps might be taken to alleviate some of the aggravation experienced by golfers. Talk centered around making a huge sand trap and taking out many of the trees bordering hole number one for a long term fix. This would make the search for a ball easier.
Temporary measures will include the construction of a berm to help stop balls from bouncing off the course. It was noted this will not stop all balls, but it will help with the problem. Any changes in the slope and the hill will be made during the winter months, as play has begun for the 2005 season, but the temporary berm can be worked on during this golfing season.
Other suggestions included moving the tee up for juniors and seniors. Fill dirt is available at the top of Millsite Reservoir for use in preparing a four foot berm. Ryan Winn, course superintendent, will begin this work as time allows. A net on the two box was also mentioned to keep balls out of the rugged areas. New grass will also be planted to the right of the first green and fill dirt will be brought in to extend the grass for playability.
Many golfers see their balls go over the edge on hole number two. A cliff descends straight down off this hole. A rock ledge was discussed to keep balls from going over the edge. A sand bar extending along the edge will help slow balls down and hopefully stop them from going over the edge. The committee wondered where they could acquire slabs for the wall and will look into finding rocks for a wall.
One method discussed for acquiring labor for the projected work at the golf course, revolved around free golf passes in exchange for labor on projects on the course.
One of the longest holes in the state is number three at Millsite which spans 606 yards. One suggestion to help golfers on this hole was to move the tee box down closer for ladies, children and seniors. This would give the golfer a straight view of the fairway they are trying to reach. The green is also visible from the closer tee.
The golf course is working in conjunction with the recreation department to establish a youth golfing program. The program would include involving the youth in work projects on the course.
The improvement committee is looking forward to the opening of the restaurant by Jerry Stotler from California. It will open approximately April 10. They will offer fine dining on Friday and Saturday evenings for the communities and feed the golfers. They will cater tournaments played at the golf course and hope to attract business meetings to Millsite.
The committee is working to make Millsite Golf Course, restaurant and Millsite State Park a destination spot which offers fine golfing, dining, and camping facilities with fishing and water sports. They are working to establish packages for corporations and businesses looking for a place for meetings or an employee awards and incentives destination.
Ferron Mayor Gil Bowden said he recently had a class reunion committee contact him to see if their event could be held at Millsite. Also, a corporation is interested in the spot for business meetings. Kathleen Truman said she is currently working with an agent in Salt Lake that books packages for conference goers in Salt Lake. They are very interested in a destination only three hours away from Salt Lake which offers recreational opportunities. Conference goers attend a couple of days of meetings and then look for a spot to vacation before returning home.
In the next improvement committee meeting on March 23, the group will look at putting some of these promotional packages together.

Carberry masterclass as Dude lands National
Report: Chepstow, Saturday
Coral Welsh National (Grade 3 handicap) 3m5½f 5yo+
MONBEG DUDE got the full treatment from Paul Carberry, coming from last to first under the ice-cool rider to give trainer Michael Scudamore the biggest win of his training career in the re-arranged Coral Welsh National.
With Across The Bay, Giles Cross and Viking Blond all eager to make the running there was no shortage of pace, which made Carberry's ride all the more impressive as he dropped anchor a long way off the pace.
In true Carberry fashion he slowly crept and crept into contention, despite some sloppy jumps from his willing partner.
At the third last he was still travelling sweetly but had a lot of ground to make up as Triggerman, also travelling strongly, and hot-favourite Teafrothree set sail for home.
It was also at this point that Giles Cross, runner-up in the race in the past two seasons and who had jumped superbly well, was quickly pulled up by Denis O'Regan.
With Teaforthree roared into an outright lead by his legion of supporters at the second last, Carberry and Monbeg Dude loomed large on their shoulder, produced with impeccable timing.
Carberry's work was not done, however, with champion jockey Tony McCoy throwing everything at Teaforthree, Monbeg Dude had to dig really deep to land a famous win at 10-1.
Teaforthree finished half a length away in second, with Triggerman third and Arbor Supreme fourth.
"It is a wonderful feeling. Even jumping the last down the back he was nowhere near so I thought we would be delighted if we could get fifth or sixth. It was an incredible ride," said winning trainer Scudamore.
Rugby star and part-owner James Simpson-Daniel added: "It is an amazing feeling. I had a very small bet each-way and a couple of the other owners backed him as well. Going down the back I thought we were beat and then popping round the corner he was on the bridle. It was incredible."
The victory continued the Scudamore family's fine tradition with the Welsh National. Michael snr rode Creeola to win the race in 1957, while Peter Scudamore - father of the winning trainer - won it four times on Run And Skip 1985, Bonanza Boy 1988 and 89 and Carvills Hill 1991.
Paddy Power make the winner a 33-1 shot to follow-up at Aintree in April. the same firm go 20-1 about Teaforthree.
John O'Reilly, part-owner of runner-up Teaforthree, also paid tribute to the winning ride. He said: "We were giving him 16lb and I think that made the difference. Teaforthree ran a fantastic race, but Carberry, what a ride!
"I think AP will be going home in a bad mood but it's just one of those things. What can you say? We finished second to a good horse given a great ride."
There was good news for Victor Dartnall and his team after Giles Cross appeared to return unscathed.
The trainer, who landed the first winner since he closed his stables due to an outbreak of equine herpes when Seebright took the final race on the card, said: "He has run a good race but then got very tired and Denis O'Regan sensibly pulled him up. He seems fine, but I'll have him checked over."

Destination Desolation. Each year a few lucky river runners can make their way down Desolation Canyon. This adventure comes cheap according to the Bureau of Land Management who manages the river travel. For $18 you can have a permit that is good for the entire time you spend floating and enjoying the Green River.
BLM, representative, Dennis Willis presented his case before the BLM RAC in Castle Dale to raise the fee for Desolation. The proposed fee increase is to $25 per person per trip. The $18 fee has been in place for 14 years. The $25 proposed fee is still a virtual bargain in todays terms for a world class adventure. The Desolation program is totally self sustaining and has been except for last year when they had to borrow $30,000 to keep things operating. Their goal is just to stay even with the expenses.
Willis said, "Desolation is the deepest canyon in Utah. In 1969 it was designated a National Landmark. The river experience has changed very little since John Wesley Powell's time. It is a BLM special recreation management area. People will put in at Sand Wash and take out approximately 12 miles upstream from the town of Green River at Swaseys Beach on the east side of the river. Desolation begins in Uintah County and spans Carbon and part of Emery counties. It is an 84 mile journey to Swasey's Beach. Desolation canyon is on a high plateau. The canyon is rich in cultural resources and also includes the 320 acre Flat Canyon Archaeology District.
"I first came to the Price Field Office 27 years ago. I was going to be here two-three years and then move on, but as you can see I am still here. In addition to the archaeological history there is also outlaw and pioneer history in the canyon. Gray Canyon is also a wildland management area and this canyon is the confluence of the Green and the Price River. Desolation today is still managed under the 1979 Desolation and Gray Canyon of the Green River Management Plan. It is a good plan. It's primary mission is to maintain the natural character and environment as it was in Powell's day in 1869.
There are limited user days on Desolation. A permit is required and launches are limited. Patrol trips are launched every Wednesday and out the following Tuesday.
"We provide the opportunity for a quality type experience. We work to protect cultural resources and emphasize safe use of the river. There are 16 outfitters and 450 noncommercial permits. There is a 50/50 gender ratio; 50 percent of the users are from Utah and Colorado and 25 percent come from the rest of the west. Sixty-three percent of the users are between the ages of 30-66 and 72 percent hold college degrees.
"The user expectations are to experience nature and solitude and have social interaction with family and friends. Ninety three percent of the users were highly satisfied with the river experience. The environmental factors they listed as not being favorable included mosquitos, the wind and the road getting to the launch site. Approximately 481 trips per year involving 3,285 people is the average. The average trip length is seven days with an average group size of seven.
"The commercial trips averaged 168 trips with a group size of 12 and a six day stay on the river.
"Desolation Canyon is the best wilderness river trip in the lower 48 states. The camps are kept clean and the beaches are pristine. River users are ahead of their time on how they use the land and take care of it. They want it kept in the condition it's in. They work hard so everyone can have the same experience.
"Most everyone puts in at Sand Wash which is a three-four hour drive from Price. There is a ranger residence there and toilets and campsites with screen houses. There is also an airstrip at Sand Wash.
"River running dates can be reserved up to six months out. The BLM website has a list of vacant launch days. The season usually runs from early April through October," said Willis.
The RAC cannot approve the fee increase proposal until it has been reviewed for 30 days afterwhich they agreed to have a phone vote for final approval. They all spoke favorably to the fee increases as a necessity in keeping up with the costs of operating the program.

XCOM's perfect demo

Demos are dangerous marketing moves for the games industry. It could be a misleading demo that misrepresents the game (it's ok, we forgive you Brutal Legend) or just a plain bad demo that doesn't show it off enough. Either way, it can seriously eat into a game's release sales figures.

A few weeks ago, we took a "field trip" on the Savor Seattle Gourmet Food Tour. If you enjoy exploring lots of different restaurants and trying new kinds of foods, this tour is for you! We especially enjoyed homemade sangria at Andaluca, and the wild mushroom pizza at Serious Pie! Oh yes, and the seafood risotto at that little restaurant at Pike Place Market was also incredible! In addition, we also sampled wonderful "tastes" from 20 or so hidden gems on a walking tour of Pike Place Market and downtown Seattle. The group was a nice small size, and we were able to hear everything with the headsets they provided. Our tour guide and Savor Seattle owner, Angela Shen, puts together a great tour. She is a wealth of information when it comes to gourmet food in Seattle.
We have also done the Savor Seattle "Classics" tour of Pike Place Market, and highly recommend it! We can't think of any better way to be able to sample so much variety and personally meet the vendors at the Market. You can learn more about their tours here: http://www.savorseattletours.com/pages/20-About_Our_Tours
Doing "Research" for our guests is one of the best parts of the innkeeper job! We love having the opportunity to be tourists in our own town.

Tabulating EquipmentOther Tabulating Equipment
Beginning in 1895 insurance executive John K. Gore developed punched card methods for compiling statistics relating to insurance. His sorters were successfully used by his employer, the Prudential Insurance Company, but never sold generally. From 1906 the mechanical engineer John Royden Peirce designed a variety of machines for sorting and tabulating data entered on punched cards. He obtained a few customers, but had difficulty meeting his contracts. Peirce's company failed, but in 1922 his patents were purchased by IBM and he joined that company.
The success of punched card equipment, particularly that of IBM, and the high cost of electronic computers in the 1950s and 1960s encouraged some firms to manufacture competing products. Those of Universal Business Machines and Wright Line closely followed IBM models. The Termatrex system, introduced in the late 1960s to sort data for relatively small projects, had a much lower price.

Wright Model 2000 Card Punch
- Description
- This portable key punch for preparing punched cards was manufactured by the Massachusetts firm of Wright Line. Punched cards were central to large-scale data processing in the United States from the introduction of the Hollerith tabulating machine in the 1890s through the 1970s. Tabulating machine manufacturers such as IBM and Remington Rand (later Sperry Univac) rented card punches. Wright Line, founded in 1934, was one of relatively few independent data processing accessory manufacturers. It made and sold a large variety of files, magnetic tapes, card punches, and related machines.
- The device is designed for 80-column punch cards such as those made for IBM computers. It has a metal base painted black with 12 number keys and an "S" key. These keys, with their white key tops, are attached to a moveable carriage. A single punch card fits in the carriage. A mark on the top reads: Wright (/) PUNCH (/) MODEL 2600.
- This punch came to the Smithsonian from the United States Naval Observatory, a longtime user of tabulating equipment for scientific purposes.

Canada eliminated at men's world volleyball championships
By Ted Graham in Siestre
TRIESTE, Italy - After the lofty heights of the previous night, it must have seemed like a long way to fall as the Canadians dropped their must-win final match to Germany, which claimed a straight set win 3-0 (25-23, 25-22, 25-20) at the men's world volleyball championships.
Canada finishes fourth in its pool with a 1-2 record and is eliminated. The top-three advanced to the second round.
Before the start of the final match of pool play, Canada knew that, despite their world class performance the previous night defeating Serbia (ranked #4 in the world), they had one job to do against Germany - win. Winning would make their fate clear going into the second round of World Championships - a tournament where Canada's best finish ever was ninth in 1994.
Tonight's loss tied Canada with Germany and Serbia with identical 1-2 records, but World Championship scoring uses the ratio of points for tie breakers. By virtue of Serbia dominating Germany 3-0 in their first match, Serbia had virtually guaranteed itself a berth in the second round. First-place Poland had sewn up their spot with two match wins against Germany and Canada. Canada needed a virtual miracle from the Poland vs. Serbia result, but it wasn't to be as Poland beat the Serbs in four sets.
"Of course it's disappointing," said Canadian team captain Louis-Pierre Mainville. "Germany started pretty strong and put the pressure on us the whole game. As a young team we will learn from this experience and, since we'll be together for a long time, we'll build for the future."
"We knew it was in our hands to go to the next round," said German captain Bjorn Andrae. "We saw what they did against Serbia so we were prepared."
Particularly strong was Germany's offside hitter Gyorgy Grozer who had 19 points in three sets and consistently hit hard over the Canadian block. Dallas Soonias was the leading point scorer for Canada with 11
"Germany was a better team tonight," said Canada's head coach Glenn Hoag. "They executed much better and we goofed up a lot of balls."
"It wasn't easy to beat Canada," said German head coach Raul Lozano. "They are very solid and you can see the hands of coach Hoag shaping this team into real competitors."
While some members of Team Canada will return home, others on the team will now scatter to numerous pro teams across Europe including Libero Dan Lewis and setter Adam Simac who are heading to nearby Bled, Slovenia to play for the city's pro team while Hoag heads to Turkey for his first season with a pro squad in that country.
