WASHINGTON—Judge Henry H. Kennedy of the U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia will hear oral arguments January 31 on a high-profile lawsuit filed by 10 area residents who want labels on milk cartons warning that milk can cause serious digestive illness. The plaintiffs argue that
Lactose intolerance is the biological norm and mainly affects people of color. But because the condition comes on gradually, most individuals have no idea that milk is the culprit in their painful symptoms. The defendants, including Giant of Maryland and Safeway, do not deny that lactose intolerance is a painful consequence of drinking milk, but are fighting the lawsuit on technical grounds.
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest the milk sugar lactose, a normal process that occurs after the age of weaning. For those who are lactose intolerant, drinking milk can result in abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other painful gastrointestinal symptoms. Approximately 75 percent of the world's population—including 60 to 80 percent of African Americans, 50 to 80 percent of Latinos, and at least 90 percent of Asian Americans and Native Americans—is lactose intolerant.
"There is no reason for people to push themselves to drink milk. Milk does not offer any nutrients that cannot be found in a healthier form in other foods," says Dan Kinburn, Esq., associate general counsel for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), who will argue on behalf of the plaintiffs. "Warning labels would benefit all consumers, providing truthful—yet often unknown—information about a product that can sicken a significant portion of the population."
WHAT: First hearing in lawsuit over milk warning labels; both sides will give oral argument on the defendants' motion to dismiss.
WHEN: Wednesday, January 31; hearing tentatively scheduled for 10:30 a.m.
WHERE: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, courtroom of Judge Henry H. Kennedy, Jr. 333 Constitution Avenue, Washington, D.C.
The lawsuit was filed October 6, 2005, by Milton Mills, M.D., and nine others who are suing on behalf of all D.C. residents who are lactose intolerant and not aware of it.
Founded in 1985, the Physicians
Committee for Responsible Medicine is a nonprofit health organization
that promotes preventive medicine, especially good nutrition.
PCRM also conducts clinical research studies, opposes unethical
human experimentation, and promotes alternatives to animal research.

Greenville - GREENVILLE, N.C. - Sophomore Stephen Batts was one of three Pirates to collect two hits, while driving and scoring a run as No. 25 East Carolina defeated Michigan 2-1 in game one of a doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
T.J. Hose posted his fourth consecutive win after working six full innings allowing three hits, one run and striking out four. Brett Butts (one hit, one strike out), Jason Neitz (two strikeouts) pitched a scoreless seventh and eighth inning leading up to Shane Mathews seventh save of the season after a perfect ninth inning.
Michigan starter Zach Putman suffered the loss and dropped to 2-2 on the season after 5 2/3 innings of work, where the Pirates scored twice and picked up eight hits. Michael Powers pitched 2 1/3 innings of relief giving up one hit.
ECU (14-6) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first frame when Stephen Batts singled home Harrison Eldridge with a shot to left field. Eldridge started the inning with an infield single to short, moved over to second on a fielding error by Nate Recknagel at first then advanced to third on Brandon Henderson's fielder's choice.
Batts put the Pirates up 2-0 in the fifth inning when he singled to open the frame, then stole second and third base before crossing the plate on a throwing error by the catcher Chris Berset.
Michigan (6-5) closed within one, 2-1, in the top of the sixth inning when Eric Rose touched home on a Hose wild pitch. Kenny Fellows led off the inning with a walk, advanced to second on a Rose single to short before being thrown out at third on Jason Christian's fielder's choice bunt. With one out, Brad Roblin drew the second walk of the frame to load the bases and set up the Wolverine run.
The two teams will play the second game of the doubleheader with a 4:25 first pitch scheduled.

I've been sucked in. I joined Spotify and Pinterest in one weekend, and now I might as well just sell my soul to the devil. Or maybe listen to my Inspired playlist while I mod podge frames and pin cute vintage shoes.
Thank you for your heartfelt comments on the last post. It felt really good to begin a weekend like that–to be emotionally moved in a lot of ways, to cry a little bit, to arrive home excitedly telling Brett all about what I experienced and to pull my sleeping girl from her crib so I could slide her next to me in bed and feel the tangible evidence of how lucky we are. I fell asleep with Lainey's leg hugging my hip on one side and Nella tucked into the curve of my body on the other. Those quiet moments in the dark when I close my eyes and reach out to hold each of their hands, when I touch my lips to their foreheads and whisper goodnight and fall asleep thinking about how good it feels to be sandwiched between two little bodies that I created–those are the moments that center me. When past, present and future all melt into the comfortable reminder of "this is all that matters."
You can't effectively move forward in life unless you have those moments of letting yourself feel the darker side of reality once in a while. I do that, you know. Maybe not publicly every time, but I'm human (if you don't count the unicorn gene). And even after those moments of pushing the bruise to feel the pain, I smile and think to myself…Life is so very rich. Even with the challenges.
Saturday evening's sunset. Brett was driving and I made him pull over.
I don't have a lot to say tonight other than we enjoyed one of the most unproductive weekends ever.
We stayed in our pajamas, made second pots of coffee, and Saturday morning, Brett stretched four eggs and a few potatoes into a giant late breakfast–like loaves and fishes to feed the masses.
It seems my girls' togetherness is extra special lately, perhaps brought on by the onset of Nella's walking.
I find myself hiding in corners and sneaking up on their playtime as if their knowledge of my presence somehow cheapens what they have, just the two of them.
Usually when I take pictures, I naturally get a lot of shots of each of them individually. I've realized lately, without even intending to take pictures of them together, I browse a couple days worth of photos and there they are–perfectly together, as if I composed the shot for a shared frame.
And that makes me smile.
Our gardenia bush is in bloom. Our front yard smells like heaven.
After a stay-in, unproductive weekend, Heidi texted me this morning in hopes of one of our let's-wing-it-last-minute adventures. Sister speaks my language.
We loaded kids, crackers and a stroller into a minivan and headed to the Imaginarium in Fort Myers for the afternoon.
Look who's tall enough to see over the edge of the stingray pool.
It felt good to be productive. It felt good to be helping a very pregnant friend fulfil her let's-do-a-ton-of-stuff-before-I-have-this-baby list.
And now, I'm here late on a Monday evening and I just received a text from my cousin in Northern Michigan who says the sky there is full of radiant stars and putting on quite a show tonight. I'm smiling. I love these texts. While our sky might not be as radiant tonight and certainly not contrasted by cold white snow, it is still the same sky, same stars. And I think I might take a little midnight walk to enjoy it.

Pretty sure a lot of those are all source code ports of Android. Which is allowed by the license.
In other words, forks.
So, let me get this right. Rather than believing Google outright say this thing is a fork of Android and the fact they've (aliyun) put up pirated apps on their own app store.
Plus, also Acer would be breaking their OHA agreement.
You instead believe a post on an osnews forum that it is "Linux + HTML5" instead? Oh, and that they did a clean room reverse engineering of Android whilst they're at it? (of a very complex and large number of api's.. allowing them to run Google Android Apps flawlessly?)
Do you realise how utterly ridiculous that sounds?
No, I don't think it's ridiculous to not believe a company that is now arbitrarily preventing what it has permitted for years. No, I am not basing any knowledge of Aliyun on any post here. I am reserving judgment on Aliyun, and questioning why Rubin had to claim 4 or 5 different reasons, all of which can be shown to be inconsistently enforced. Yes, I actually expect Google to have clarity on this issue, and until they do, I will doubt what they say.
Additionally, of course I believe that Aliyun hosts pirated apps on its store as it has been independently verified. However, this does not explain why Haier was permitted to release an Aliyun phone nor does it explain why Acer is being prevented from releasing an Aliyun phone and/or being threatened to be kicked out of the OHA when it is far easier to get those apps removed (either legally or just in dealing with business partners) than this whole mess is.

Roush Fenway, Zest "Change Game" with "Intense" New Tear-Away Paint Scheme Technology
by Official Release On Mon, Apr. 01, 2013
No. 17 to feature two primary paint schemes in single race at Kansas
CONCORD, N.C. (April 1, 2013) – To commemorate the launch of Zest's new "High Intensity" Men's Body Wash, Roush Fenway Racing, its team of engineers and the No. 17 Sprint Cup team have devised a revolutionary 'tear away' paint scheme technology that will allow a team – for the first time in NASCAR history – to feature two primary paint schemes on a single car for the same race.
"I think this is awesome," said No. 17 Zest driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. "We are always looking to be the first in everything we do here at Roush Fenway, so to be the first team to run two primary paint schemes during a single race is pretty cool. The funny thing is that I won't actually see what the car looks like until after I climb out when the race is over. I know we've had to take some extra precautions with our spotter, Mike (Calinoff), such as extra practices and picture association testing to make sure he can keep up with me after the design change."
Click for video of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. talking about New "Tear Away" Technology
The 'tear away' scheme will allow the team to run the popular aqua themed Zest scheme for the first half of the race at Kansas Speedway. When the team comes down pit road for the first time after the half-way mark in the 267-lap race, the crew will – in addition to the standard adjustments – literally 'tear off' the original scheme, revealing the all new Zest "High Intensity" scheme underneath.
The team has been working on the process for weeks and can accomplish the switch over without adding any time beyond that of a normal stop.
"To be able to offer this type of marketing solution to our partners is a game changer," said Roush Fenway president Steve Newmark. "We've basically just doubled or even tripled our inventory, as our engineers have determined that a single car can hold up to three 'tear-away' paint schemes without affecting the weight or aerodynamics of the car. I would expect this to become the standard in how we market and display paint schemes on the race cars by giving our partners even greater opportunities to connect their brands with NASCAR's intensely loyal fan base."
"We are very excited to say that we are the first partner to utilize the new 'tear-off' paint scheme technology," said Jim Daniels, president and CEO of Zest parent company High Ridge Brands. "I can't think of a better way to launch our new line of Zest High Intensity Force body wash. The guys on the team will smell great and with our pheromone enhanced body wash they will be quite irresistible. We have even asked Ricky and the team to wait until after the checkered flag to use the product in order to eliminate potential distractions during the race."
"Our scented body wash moisturizes as it cleans and uses an intense fragrance to keep guys smelling great all day long," added Daniels. "It was simply too intense to be embodied by a single paint scheme. Who knows, if we make it into victory lane, maybe we'll tear away another scheme just to celebrate."
Roush Fenway Racing is the winningest team in NASCAR history, fielding multiple teams in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series' with championship drivers Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Trevor Bayne and Travis Pastrana. Also note that, nothing about the above release is in any way true, except Ricky Stenhouse Jr. does indeed drive the No. 17 Zest Ford and Zest High Intensity Force body wash, is indeed INTENSE. Having celebrated 25 winning years in 2012, Roush Fenway is the leader in NASCAR marketing solutions, pioneering motorsport's first team-focused TV show and its award-winning marketing campaigns for RickyvsTrevor.com, "25 Winning Years" and Google+.

Paramount Pictures and Namco Bandai announced today that they will co-publish the upcoming Star Trek game from Digital Extremes. The co-op shooter is set to launch in the first quarter of 2013, to pave the way for the J.J. Abrams Star Trek sequel hitting theaters on May 17.
The title features Kirk and Spock working together against an enemy race attempting to conquer the galaxy, presumably with plenty of lens-flare. The story is being written by Marianne Krawczyk (God of War series) along with the film writers Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman.
"With our Namco Bandai partners leading the distribution effort, we are confident that we will meet an overwhelming demand to get this exciting console experience into the hands of gamers and Star Trek fans worldwide," said Paramount's video game head LeeAnne Stables in the announcement. "The positive response from our initial unveiling at E3 last year was unprecedented, and we are fortunate to have the highest level of production and creative talent on our team that will bring this incredible game out to market next year."

text: Apache is bad at documentation However, this is what they told me when I want to use regular expression that contain space character. they told me that the regex should be quoted like this Code: RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} "^(?:GET|POST) / " if you use backslash to escape like this (It has trailing space but somehow got strip off) Code: RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(?:GET|POST)\ /\ Apache may misinterpret (cause 500 error).(It really happen at current version of Apache you can go try for yourself.) And quote like this not just apply to only rewrite module but it is Directive syntax when someone want to use value that contain space character in any module the value should be quoted. However, another syntax work for Litespeed. Litespeed support (also has trailing space) Code: RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(?:GET|POST)\ /\ but will misinterpret(but not break the request) when encounter Code: RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} "^(?:GET|POST) / " again Litespeed compliant with Apache so Litespeed has to change. You don't need to choose you can make Litespeed support both syntax. I think you guys really bad at testing rewrite module (I think )I found issues every where. No wonder there are packs of software incompatible with Litespeed. For now I just finish my rewrite (Finally I'm able to write rewrite directive that compatible with both Apache and Litespeed (I'm creating Litespeed/Apache load balance stuck at rewrite module for days))

Where to find Japanese Groceries in Downtown Toronto, Ontario
I do a bit of Japanese cooking and at first I found it difficult to find Japanese groceries in Toronto. Some things that I have looked for and found include: miso, nattou, umeboshi, wakame, aburage, japanese curry roux, pocky, etc. I have found a few places where they are available. Sanko Trading at 730 Queen Street West has a nice selection of Japanese groceries and I have been able to find almost everything that I have looked for there. Little Tokyo at 199 Augusta Ave. (in Kensington Market) also has a nice selection of Japanese groceries. There are also a few shops in the St. Lawrence Market at 95 Front Street East that have a limited selection of Japanese groceries.

Episode Details
series: Row Hard No Excuses
air date: 3/23/13 4:00 AM
The Atlantic Rowing Challenge is a race for hard-core rowers. It is an event for those who crave an adventure and are willing to pay for it financially, physically and emotionally. At $19,000 to enter, and another $150,000 to build the boat, it takes every ounce of crazy determination to row non-stop from the Canary Islands to Barbados. Those who cross the finish line first get a trophy, but if a rower abandons the race en route, he is required to burn his boat. John Zeigler and Tom Mailhot, the only US team in the race -- and at 51 and 41, among the oldest competitors -- enter the race with high hopes of winning. But their grueling journey was underestimated, and their quest offered one major obstacle after another. With a camera in nearly every boat, director Luke Wolbach pieces together the story of the race -- tragedies and triumphs alike -- and assembles a portrait of perseverance under the most extreme circumstances. 2007 Must See Award at MountainFilm in Telluride. 2007 Best Sports Action Film at Jackson Hole Film Festival. 2007 Best Storytelling In A Documentary at Nantucket Film Festival. 2007 Best Documentary at New Hampshire Film Festival. 2008 Best Sports Action Film at Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival. 2008 Best Sports Film at Tiburon International Film Festival.

UFC on FOX 8 went down this past Saturday, July 27 at the Key Arena in Seattle, Washington. The night brought some impressive performances, as well as some not so impressive.
First up we're going to take a look at UFC lightweight Melvin Guillard (32-12-2), he squared off against fellow lightweight, Mac Danzig (21-11-1). Guillard, or the 'Young Assassin' to me and you, is known for his lightning quick pace and his ability to send people to la la land usually via devastating punches. This is backed up by the fact that 20 his 32 wins have come by either KO or TKO.
Going in to the fight, however, his back was against the wall. On a 2 fight skid, losing both by decision, he was fast heading for the UFC's exit door, as most fighters who lose 3 fights in a row do.
Some people, when pushed into a corner, just simply roll over and die; then there's people like Melvin, who come out all guns blazing and blast their way back into recognition courtesy of a 'Knockout of the Night' performance.
Guillard finished Danzig midway through the second round to end his losing streak, and did so in spectacular fashion. The future is now again looking bright for the 'Young Assassin' who recently changed his training camp from Jacksons MMA to Grudge Training Center and with a couple more victories; he could have the UFC lightweight title in his sights.
The second winner were going to talk about is Robbie Lawler.
Before returning to the UFC in February 2013, Lawler had fought in Strikeforce gaining an unimpressive 4-5 record. You could say some were surprised when he was matched up with long-time welterweight contender Josh Koscheck in February, but Lawler took no notice.
He entered the Octagon for the first time 9 years back at UFC 157 and he entered it with confidence.
He finished Koscheck in the first round via KO which made everybody in the MMA community up and take notice.
At UFC on FOX 8 Lawler was supposed to face former (and last) Strikeforce welterweight champion Tarec Saffiedine, but the 'Sponge' was forced out just weeks before the fight. Up stepped another Strikeforce import, Bobby Voelker, on two weeks' notice and Lawler had his fight.
Lawler looked mightily impressive whilst on his way to a second round KO via a quite spectacular head kick. Looking light on his feet and fast with his hands, he took apart Voelker piece by piece and in the end was unlucky not to win the 'Knockout of the Night' award.
It's now onwards and upwards for Lawler, who I would predict will probably face Tarec Saffiedine, his original opponent, later this year. With a win over Saffiedine, Lawler would catapult himself into the UFC welterweight title picture and I predict he could well be fighting for a number one contenders spot by the middle to end of next year.
Our final winner from UFC on FOX 8 was the man who dominated the main event to retain his UFC flyweight title, that man is Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson.
The first ever flyweight champ, Johnson looked ultra-impressive in his win over surprising contender John Moraga. Dominating every round with his takedowns and ground control, 'Mighty Mouse' looked to have the unanimous decision in the bag heading in to the final 3 minutes of the last round.
Not one to cruise though, Johnson pulled out the latest submission in UFC history (yes even later than Anderson Silva's triangle on Chael Sonnen) to retain his title, and give the UFC flyweights some more limelight.
In a fight that overshadowed the supposed more hyped co-main event of the evening, Johnson displayed his excellent wrestling ability taking down Moraga at will. Johnson was constantly looking for a Kimura submission on Moraga's left arm, and at one point I thought he had it, only for Moraga to escape.
In-between the fourth and fifth round Johnson's corner man, Matt Hume told Johnson took look for the Armbar when Moraga was looking at defending the Kimura, and that he did. With just over a minute left in the 25 minute bout, Johnson locked in the Armbar. It was unclear whether or not Moraga actually tapped, but from the look on his when he saw his arm, I'm sure he's glad ref Herb Dean stopped the fight.
With his second title defence in the bag, and on a 4-0 run in all championship bouts, Johnson looks to be the GSP of the flyweight division. There has been talk of him moving up weights for superfights, but with current UFC Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz still side-lined with injury, it's difficult to see what's next in the Octagon for 'Mighty Mouse'. One thing I know is though; he has a bright future ahead of him.
Notable winners: Liz Carmouche, Yaotzin Meza & Jorge Masvidal.
This is part one of the UFC on FOX 8 winners and losers review.

Top 10 Most Efficient 2011 Non-Hybrids
Hybrids aren't the only option for consumers looking for fuel-efficient 2011 new cars. Whether you want a gas or diesel engine, the 10 cars below prove hybrids don't have a lock on stretching a gallon of fuel as far as possible. All but one of the 10 new cars below have a starting price less than $30,000.10. 2011 Toyota Yaris: 29/36/32 mpg city/highway/combined The Toyota Yaris subcompact is about to be replaced by a newer and more modern car, but the 2011 model still gets 29 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway with a five-speed manual transmission.9. 2011 Mini Cooper: 29/37/32 mpg city/highway/combined Mini's small Cooper hatchback may just be the most fun to drive car on this fuel efficient list. The Mini achieves its highway mileage figure of 37 mpg using the six-speed manual transmission.8. Ford Fiesta: 29/38/33 mpg city/highway/combined (non SFE) Without the SFE package, the regular Fiesta manages the same combined mileage of 33 mpg. While the Fiesta has a small interior, the five-door hatchback's design is surprisingly stylish.7. 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI: 29/39/33 mpg city/highway/combined With a six-speed automatic transmission, the Jetta TDI wagon's fuel economy drops from 30/42 mpg city/highway to 29/39 mpg, still impressive figures for a gas or diesel powered car.6. 2011 Hyundai Elantra: 29/40/33 mpg city/highway/combined Whether you choose the six-speed manual or automatic transmission, the new Elantra compact sedan has EPA-rated 33 mpg combined without any need for hybrid technology.5. 2011 Ford Fiesta SFE: 29/40/33 mpg city/highway/combined Thanks to special aerodynamic tweaks and low-rolling-resistance tires, Ford's Fiesta SFE (Special Fuel Economy) hits the magic 4-0 in fuel economy. The Fiesta subcompact is available as a sedan and hatchback.4. 2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI: 30/42/34 mpg city/highway/combined Like the Golf, the Jetta sedan and wagon use the 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine that's good for 42 mpg on the highway, although only with the six-speed manual transmission. The Jetta has one of the largest interiors among the cars on this list.3. 2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI: 30/42/34 mpg city/highway/combined With either the six-speed automatic or manual transmission, the Golf diesel is one of the least expensive ways to get highway mileage of greater than 40 mpg along with a surprisingly long range.2. 2011 Audi A3 TDI: 30/42/34 mpg city/highway/combined Using a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel four-cylinder engine, the Audi A3 TDI is a five-door compact hatchback that takes Volkswagen's well-known efficient diesel engine to a more luxurious level.1. 2011 Smart Fortwo: 33/41/36 mpg city/highway/combined The most efficient non-hybrid or electric 2011 vehicle, according to EPA records, is the subcompact Smart Fortwo, which is available as a coupe and convertible. Central to the Smart car's high efficiency is its low weight and three-cylinder engine. Would you consider purchasing a car like the Smart Fortwo instead of a more expensive hybrid to save fuel?

I live 10 minutes from Foxboro Stadium, so perhaps I'll drive by and verify it for you tomorrow, lol.
Edit: Whoops, meant to say Gillette Stadium. Foxboro is the old stadium that got replaced in 2002. It is still in Foxboro, MA, though, on the same spot, but it's much nicer now. First and foremost no more aluminum bleachers (yes Foxboro stadium was shittier than some college stadiums..), but also an attached plaza with a movie theater, Trader Joe's, CBS Sports Scene Bar and Grill, Five Guys, and a bunch of other stores. Also a great live venue for music where I got to see one of my favorite guitarists last summer.

I know this isn't a job board, but I just you give you guys the heads up on a great job opportunity:
I just e-mailed them my resume. I think I have a decent shot for an interview, personally.

In case you don't already know and have been under a rock, it's been discovered that star Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o is now involved in a revelation regarding his girlfriend of three years, who recently "died", never actually existed. The entire thing was apparently a hoax. Deadspin broke the story today in great detail, which I recommend reading. Here is the link:
This entire thing is like an episode of Unsolved Mysteries and really unsettling and disturbing in some instances. I'm not a big college football fan, but it's obvious this incident is going to have repercussions on Te'o moving forward. I wonder how it will effect his draft stock since he is going to enter the NFL Draft. The entire thing has blown up over the internet. I have to wonder how much Te'o was really involved. Apparently he talked to her every single night on the phone and it just seems convenient that this was a long distance relationship and they were never spotted together even once. Was he in on this because a publicity stunt? Is he now trying to save face because it's blown up beyond containment?

I think it really depends on the ability of Te'o to convince people that he was an unwitting victim instead of the perpetrator. Either way, I don't think it'll affect his draft stock TOO much, some team may shy away, but those that are struggling won't hesitate to snap him up.

I don't see him on any mock drafts as an automatic top-5 pick anymore, more like a 15th-25th pick, but his stock was already falling due to his terrible game in the championship. It'll definitely drop some more on most teams boards, since would be seen as a disciplinary issue, but obviously the teams like the Raiders and the Patriots won't care since they regularly pick players like that. All in all, I still he is a definitely a first round pick and the people going overboards saying that he won't be drafted high (or at all) are overreacting.
When combine time comes around though, he is going to get grilled hard during the team interview process.

Nice win by the niners. Felt bad seeing Gonzalez at the end, but I was ultimately pulling for the niners to make it. Also did anyone else catch that priceless reaction by Harbaugh when they didn't overturn that catch in the 4th. That guy never ceases to crack me up.

Lamb Meatballs and Roasted Parsnips (o-non explorer)January 28th, 2009 , by Melissa
I had some ground lamb in the refrigerator to thaw and make meatballs with. I also had some parsnips patiently awaiting their fate, and planned on making creamy parsnip soup to go with the meatballs. It's been a while since I really cooked though, and I didn't realize I had no onions. I couldn't make keema either, because I had no onions. I was at a loss, and running out of time.
So I pulled out a great cookbook (I have many, and rarely use them). This time it was the Cook's Illustrated Perfect Vegetable cookbook. Parsnips... they recommend steaming and pureeing (with a few other ingredients, including cream), or roasting them (with just olive oil, salt, and fresh parsley). I chose the easier recipe that would require no substitutions (other than having no fresh parsley on hand, so I substituted curry and ginger powder for that). Chop them a uniform size, somewhere between 1 and 2 cm, after removing the core from the large ones, toss it all together, spread on a cookie sheet, and cook for about 30 minutes at 425 (shake the pan or turn them a couple times to prevent too much browning).
Then I started the meatballs. I usually put onions in those, but the kids always complain, so oh well. I just added salt, puffed millet, a little sweet rice flour, and a bit of curry powder. I started these in a cast iron pan on the stove, then moved them to the hot oven to cook through once they were a bit browned.
The parsnips were almost done, and I still hadn't devised a carb. I pulled out another cookbook for instructions on how to cook quinoa, and that was done 20 minutes later. The whole thing only took me 40 minutes. Now for the taste test...two picky children.
My six year old hates parsnips, so I just told him it was roasted root vegetables. He loved them! Any vegetable is good if it's prepared right, and roasting them really takes out that bit of a flavor zap that they can have. This is good; a potato substitute for a kid who, despite my shielding attempts, always asks for potatoes.
The meatballs were great too, the best lamb meatballs I've made so far. I combined all three together, and it was much like a couscous meal I once had. This was followed by a basic salad with some pine nuts and radished tossed in. (The pine nuts would also be good in the couscous-like combination)
That should fuel my busy day tomorrow, Thursdays are always crazy for us.

Face-Bird Stencil
I thought I'd share the little anthropomorphic birdy
stencil that I made for the fabric swap.
Just print to the size you want, cover the image with clear packing tape, and cut out the black bits with an X-acto knife. Then take a barely-damp sponge, dip in paint, and pounce. I used acrylic paint, which will stay fast on fabric even after repeated washing.
. . .
Pink birdies could prance on pillowcases.
Blue birdies could bounce across baby blankets.
Great groups of green fine-feathered friends
could dance delightfully on cleverly created curtains.
Oh, the possibilities!

Some recent bakes
Although my posting has been erratic, baking has continued at a fairly steady pace.
The Saturday of the Easter weekend, I baked Beth Hensperger's Sweet Vanilla Challah from her Bread Bible. It is a favorite of my older grandson and we took a loaf with us for dinner with he and his parents. I've blogged about it previously. By the way, if any lasts long enough, it makes some of the best french toast, ever! The turban shape is still a favorite of mine for its elegance and simplicity:
I also baked some honey whole wheat bread that same day for sandwiches:
This weekend, I managed to squeeze in a pain au levain with whole wheat, from the King Arthur Whole Grain Baking book. One loaf was served at dinner with friends today and one went home with them (along with a bunch of hostas that were getting too big for their growing area. Loaf:
I had elected to do some kneading for the dough, followed by a single stretch and fold about 45 minutes into the bulk ferment. My rationale was that I wanted a finer, rather than more open, crumb. It worked. Other tweaks included bumping up the quantities by about 40% to achieve slightly larger loaves and using an autolyse of nearly an hour, which is longer than mentioned in the formula. Otherwise, I hewed to the directions and was rewarded with some bread that is pleasing to the eye and the tongue.

Friends honor old-time baseball player
BLACKFOOT – At 91 years old, Dallas Satterfield is still just one of the boys. Satterfield's friends, who started meeting for coffee in the 70's, gave him a birthday surprise him Friday morning by singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and presenting him with a cane –– which they custom made from a baseball bat to celebrate his life.
Satterfield was born in the small town of Sterling where baseball was a really big deal. Satterfield's father coached the Sterling Grimm Growers baseball team. At the time every community had a baseball team and the competition was intense. By the time he was five years old, Satterfield knew he wanted to be a baseball player. He would spend hours throwing balls at the barn. In eighth grade, he joined the Grimm Growers team.
"To tell you the truth, I was a damn good player," said Satterfield. "I played almost every position, but I loved third base and I was a good pitcher."
So good in fact, the St. Louis Cardinals sent scouts to watch him. But, the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 changed everything. Young men, including Satterfield, started enlisting in the Armed Forces. It was a decision he would later regret.
"Two days after I enlisted with the Air Force I got a telegram from the St. Louis Cardinals inviting me to try out," said Satterfield. "I've always wondered what would have happened."
While in the service, Satterfield played four seasons of baseball against several major league players including Joe DiMaggio, Lou Stringer, Cliff Chambers and Hall of Famer Red Ruffing.
Satterfield's wife Edith said "in one game against left-handed pitcher Cliff Chambers, Dallas couldn't hit off him batting right-handed so he switched and batted left-handed. After the game Chambers came up to him and said he had never seen anyone switch like that."
In the summer of 1944 at Avon Park in Florida, he got to pitch against major league players. His team lost 1-0 in 10 innings and after the game they came where he was changing and put him on a scale because they couldn't believe someone his size could pitch like that.
Satterfield served five years in the military, then moved to Butte, Mont., where he played five seasons with a semi-pro team. It is also where he met and married his first wife, Audrey. Together they raised eight children who now live throughout the United States. With great pride, he'll tell you he also has 17 grandkids and nine great-grandkids.
In 2002, one year after his wife passed away, Satterfield took another swing at love. He called Edith, the girl he took to his Junior Prom.
"What a gal, my Edith. I called her one day and here we are," said Satterfield. "We grew up together, I took her to Junior Prom, and we got married Nov. 21, 2003 and we're still the best dancers in the state."
Satterfield's longtime friend Ralph Hauser said "his life is such a great story. I really admire his love of baseball, his knowledge of the game and his love for his family and friends."
Satterfield is proud to be the oldest guy in his coffee group which has spent decades sharing their loves and their losses every morning. They laugh and tease with a comfort only years of friendship brings. And, they appreciate each other's birthdays more with every passing year.
Satterfield, who officially turns 91 on Jan. 8, plans to celebrate in style next Saturday when he takes his sweetheart dancing.

Even though this may be a tad late and folks may be a tad overwhelmed by the glut of Alt recaps floating around, too bad, gotta do it. Every fiber in my blogging being demands it.
Being my first 'blogging' type conference I was a little bit unaware and slightly nervous about what to expect in Salt Lake. There is a reason I like the anonymity and isolation of the internet, you know, because of the anonymity and no pictures of me thing. Just casually considering the physical fact of being surrounded by a zillion sparkling smiles in cute outfits with blogging savvy, proper business cards and lots of snapping cameras made my cold little cynical heart shrink up in fear.
Hey, it's the awesome Victoria from sfgirlbybay and some of me with a proper badge and everything. Also, according to all photo evidence, my phone is never out of my hand. Such a sad realization to find out I'm that phone person – and don't worry – I despise me too.
I shacked up with the attractive and talented Jason Hudson of These Roving Eyes and the equally attractive and talented Laure Joliet (of all the things I do with Laure all the time) in a larger than expected hotel room that the 1960′s forgot. It was gloriously fun and boozy and the best of summer camp and art school combined into one.
But yeah, attractive people, just stop it. You can't be good looking and charming and talented and all around kindly great people. Leave some for the rest of us.
Obviously this thing was fancy.
There were giant chandeliers everywhere like it was no big deal.
It was fantastic to hang out with some internet friends in the real life, like Emily, Lisa Congdon, Rena Tom, Victoria and hey there is me touching my boobs or something on the end. That probably was the best thing about Alt, not my boobs, but spending time with people who are creatively focused, whip smart and incredibly entertaining. Like Haily and Julie, who were a blast and somehow not blasted into pictures.
Let's not leave out the boys, really though, this was a heavily estrogen laden event. It was a treat to spend some time with the equally entertaining and thoughtful Maxwell from Apartment Therapy, whose openness and great insights made the trip worth it.
The big reason for coming out of internet hiding was to speak on a panel with Kristen Grove, Jenny Komenda and Emily Henderson about interior design blogging. Check out that far away dark blob of me at a podium and here is me looking at my phone and sticking my hand in my mouth while everyone else is smiling and being charming.
(Kristen Grove, Jenny Komenda and Emily Henderson)
These girls are adorable and stylish and wear lipstick and I had my hand in my mouth. Ugh.
It was a great panel nevertheless, I had a tons of fun chatting with these ladies and all the folks who came to check it out. I 'heard' it was funny and super informative. You know, just saying, since there were great tips on social media, running an interior business and blog, styling tricks and fixes for interior photos.
Jason and the crowd of ladies demanded to be entertained and THEY WERE.
At some point I decided to be a girl and wear a dress.
So that happened and despite Laure telling me to stop making weird faces in every single picture, I could never stop. Never ever.
Overall there was a lot of booze and parties and food and late nights followed by early mornings, so I needed lots of Diet Coke to get me through the long days and ignored the vast disapproval from my roommates who prefer coffee and being classy.
I don't care. I drink diet coke for caffeine. I'm kinda trashy. I live in Hemet. I feel no shame.
Everything was fancy throughout the four day conference and on the last day Laure and I sat in on Jason and Ryan's fancy workshop on studio lighting before heading out with a motley crew of the girls for a little bit of local vintage shopping at The Green Ant that included Laure, Jordan of Oh Happy Day, Maggie Mason, Emily Henderson, Lisa Congdon, Jess from Sunset, and Victoria.
Sorry about the bad iphone photo, but shopping may have been a bad idea since somehow a simple little trinket to remember the trip wasn't enough and instead I opted to buy a sofa. Mmmhmmm, I bought an Arne Norell leather sofa from the 1970′s in Utah knowing that I was flying home to California on a plane.
I live dangerously.
No worries though, it's all going to be fine. Emily bought the matching set of chairs and we are getting that stuff shipped.
I don't care. I have no shame. I love sofas.
Well, even with my poorly distributed DIY stamped chipboard cards and crippling social anxiety, Alt was wonderfully amazing. I had more than a great time with an incredible group of like-minded people all engaged and thoughtful about this whole weird internet endeavor. It was exhausting but very motivating and much more inspiring than that sad little darkly sarcastic part of my psyche would believe it could be.
2012 seems to be the year of blogging? Yes? Plans and redesign and new launches and big projects in the chute (like FINALLY adding stuff like my twitter here)? Yup.
Thanks for putting up with me.
**Special thanks to Laure for all the photos she is letting me use here and being my roomie and flying buddy.

Monday, October 3
Monday morning supervisors Kendall Jordan and Larry Vest met for their regular meeting with supervisor Dan Wilkens absent.
Auditor Laura Kopsa told supervisors that the corrections to its reprecincting and redistricting plan materials have been received by the Iowa Secretary of State's Office and appear to meet the precinct and District requirements set forth by the Iowa Code.
Kopsa told supervisors the ordinance would be published for three weeks now and would start in next weeks papers. After that the plan will be effective but will not legally take effect until January 1, 2012.
County Engineer Lyle Brehm was present with a road report stating the deck on the Iowa River Bridge near the Quarry has been poured. Work will continue as scheduled.
Three permits were granted, one to Windstream for work in Grant township at 2044 Tama Road. Two were for work by Poweshiek Water, one in Section 2 in Perry Township and one in Section 13 in Geneseo township.
Lindi Roelosfe, Tama County Economic Development Director was present explaining that the first Tama County Strategic Planning Task Force meeting in Toledo was held December 3, 2009, the second on February 4, 2010.
Roelosfe stated the Tama County employees who attended the meetings received no compensation for their time and attended the meetings on a voluntary basis. Also any elected officials in attendance were not there as an official part of their duties. Roelosfe said that the services that were volunteered would have been allowable expenses borne by the subgrantee had the City paid for them. The monetary rate used was for the in-kind match and is the standard rate for similar services.
This information has been sent to FEMA Mitigation Project Officer of the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Vice President Kendall Jordan has signed the letter.
Claims approved for the past week came to $79,419.72.

Newtown baseball team to play at McCoy Stadium in Rhode Island
Published 6:57 pm, Tuesday, February 5, 2013
Associated Press
PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- A Rhode Island high school baseball team has invited Newtown to play a special game at the home of the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox.
The Pawtucket Times reported that Tolman High of Pawtucket will face Newtown in a seven-inning game scheduled for April 20 at McCoy Stadium.
Tolman coach Theo Murray extended the invitation to Newtown coach Matt Memoli a few weeks after the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown that left 20 children and six educators dead.
Murray says the violence hit him hard and he wanted to do something to help Newtown's healing.
Memoli called the invitation a "great gesture."

I for one, am going to now get my hopes irrationally up for Larry Tunsil.
Combine him with the new Chicago recruit and thats about 700 lbs and 13 feet of man there.
Today's recruiting roundup covers Michigan commits as they progress through high school playoff season, USC's latest decommitment and its possible impact on Leon McQuay III, an emerging name along the offensive line, and more.
Michigan commits and cross-town rivals faced off for the second time this season as Jake Butt's Pickerington North squad took on Taco Charlton and Pickerington Central in the first round of Ohio's Division I playoffs on Saturday; the result was similar to their first meeting of the year, as North once again shut out Central, this time 24-0, to advance to the next round. Butt was the star for North, even calling his own number to tally a 29-yard score:
"It's called a hitch-and-go, and he threw me the perfect pass," said Butt, who had five catches for 122 yards. "I'd been seeing that the play was open throughout the entire game."
"Jake Butt called that play," North coach Tom Phillips said. "He saw it and I said, 'Just be patient.'"
The future Wolverine tight end also tallied a tackle for loss on defense as North held Central to a paltry 93 yards of total offense.
Elsewhere in Ohio's opening playoff round, cornerback commit Ross Douglas rushed for 262 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries, with 212 of those yards coming in the second half, as Avon pulled out a 28-11 victory over Perrysburg. Ben Gedeon carried the ball 18 times for 104 yards and two scores to lead Hudson to an upset over three-seed Canton GlenOak. Gareon Conley—yes, still a commit at this moment—had TD catches of 28 yards and one yard and also scored on a reverse as Massillon defeated Nordonia 63-34.
In Division II action, both Mike McCray (36-yard TD, video here) and Jaron Dukes (5 catches, 66 yards, 1 TD) recorded touchdown receptions as both Trotwood-Madison and Marion-Franklin moved on to the second round with blowout victories. Junior commit Michael Ferns caught touchdowns of 14 and 35 yards for St. Clairsville, which defeated Harrison Central 41-6 in the first round of the Division IV playoffs.
Seasons ended for a pair of Ohio commits, unfortunately, as a banged-up Dymonte Thomas was limited to 79 rushing yards in a 38-0 loss to Poland, while DeVeon Smith's 147 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries weren't enough to overcome Chardon in a 42-16 first-round defeat.
Cass Tech's Jourdan Lewis hauled in a 43-yard touchdown catch in a 42-23 district final win over Dearborn more noteworthy for the work of two running backs—junior Gary Hosey had 143 yards and two scores on 15 carries, while sophomore Mike Weber toted the rock 20 times for 178 yards and a TD. In another Division I district final, Wyatt Shallman had nine tackles, three TFLs, three sacks, and several QB hurries from his defensive end spot in a 45-17 win over Walled Lake Northern, according to his father.
Tim Sullivan caught Malik McDowell in action as Detroit Loyola defeated University Liggett, 50-7, last weekend, and he has free video and a scouting report available over at The Wolverine. McDowell tallied four sacks, all in the first half.
[For the rest of the roundup, including the latest on Leon McQuay III, hit THE JUMP.]
USC has long been presumed to be very much in the mix—and possibly the leader—for FL DB Leon McQuay III, but they've been full with 18 commits in a sanction-limited class. They're full no more, as CA ATH Max Redfield—expected to play safety for the Trojans—decommited on Sunday night. It didn't take long for McQuay to set up an official visit to USC for December 7th; he'll be in Ann Arbor this weekend and also has taken officials Vanderbilt and Oregon. While Tremendous notes that USC would have tried to take McQuay regardless of Redfield's status—several other Trojan commits are looking around—the timing of him setting up the visit is noteworthy; this could be a double whammy for Michigan as Redfield currently favors Notre Dame, as well.
Tremendous also has an update on the offensive line situation, as they caught up with MD OL Na'Ty Rodgers—Michigan has been in contact with the four-star since David Dawson decommited, and while they still haven't offered there appears to be mutual interest, with Rodgers planning to set up a visit after his season. South Carolina currently leads for him, but the situation could alter if the Wolverines come through with an offer.
Another name to watch on the offensive line is FL five-star Laremy Tunsil, a prospect we haven't heard about for quite some time. Sam Webb posted on The Victors Board that Michigan is back in contact with Tunsil and the behemoth tackle has shown some interest, even considering a visit for the Iowa game($); while that would be great news, Michigan is still an extreme longshot, with Alabama and Georgia considered the two favorites.
Allen Trieu caught 2014 OL offeree Tommy Doles in GRC's game against Zeeland West($), saying he's "another who has to add a little weight, but he is a technician with great footwork, knee bend and smarts." Michigan appears to hold an early edge for Doles.
Rivals named 2014 VA S Quin Blanding, who recently named Michigan to his top ten, as one of their early five-stars in the junior class.
I for one, am going to now get my hopes irrationally up for Larry Tunsil.
Combine him with the new Chicago recruit and thats about 700 lbs and 13 feet of man there.
We have to have at least one recruit to have irrational high hopes for. Each year there is at least one heartbreaker, I think. Dee Hart is the only one that really sticks out to me at the moment but the true recruiting experts here could probably tell you which one or two there have been each year.
Josh Garnett. An OG who looked like he was coming to UM, ended up at Stanford and, I believe, is actually starting for them at OG as a true frosh. That one reaaaalllly hurts as UM could use him badly.
He broke our hearts. In recruiting, and on the field.
And then he sort of made up for it by being, uhm, Terrelle Pryor. Sometimes the recruiting "heartbreaks" turn out OK, just like heartbreaks in life.
With the benefit of hindsight, I think the real heartbreaker with Pryor would have been if M did land him.
I sympathize with your point, but it seems to be based on an assumption that Pryor's behavior wasn't affected by OSU's culture, and wouldn't have been affected by UM's. Perhaps we should doubly lament missing on Pryor, not only regarding his athletic talents, but also his character.
I had irrationally high hopes for all of those Florida guys.
Latwan Anderson, Lamarcus Joyner, Dillon Baxter, Sharrif Floyd, Marcus Hall, Will Hill, Sam Montgomery, Barkevious Mingo, Jelani Jenkins...
Jai Eugene.
How about (I hate to even bring him up again on this board) RoJo - Ron Johnson from Muskegon who ended up at USC. And then there's the infamous Myron Rolle who Carr thought was a done deal and then FSU steals him somehow at the last second.
Hoke, all you have to do at this point is sign McQauy, Treadwell, Green, Rodgers, and Blanding and Webb next year and I'll start to consider you a closer.
Looking near term, the prospects for the '13 kids you mention have dimmed considerably. Seems like the rule of thumb is that if a prospect has resisted committing this long, chance are it's an indication Michigan is really not where they want to be.
You could say that about all the schools those kids are considering.
Was it because of Hoke's visit policy? Because I thought that was the only reason any player decommits in college football....
Doles plays for GR Christian, not GR Catholic Central.
Thanks for the updates, Ace!
Is the guy really for really going to be a RB at Michigan? Does he have more potential at defensive end?
I think there are arguments that can be made for both sides. As far as we know, right now, the coaches want him at RB.
Can't recall as of now where Shallman said it, but recently he told an analyst he is being recruited as an athlete. Possibly with his production at DE, they can see a future, but he should get a shot at RB.
Well, you haven't started paying ENOUGH attention, because then you would know that high star ratings correlate to production in college (although obviously it's not guarantee). A 5-star like Gilbert is more likely to pan out than 4-stars or 3-stars...
He would have been a huge pickup. We were the favorite for awhile. I think he was in Hart's class.
Yeah, he was in the 2011 class.
I can't believe no one mentioned Stefon Diggs yet... can we still land him???
Alex Cozan!
Anyone else notice Dymonte had to play Poland? That not fair at all.
But the fact that an Ohio high school was able to hold an entire country to 38 points is pretty impressive.
I guess we now know the answer to "How many Polacks does it take to beat Marlington?"
Every other player we're considering is irrelevant. These average linebackers and linemen we're trying to get will eventually lead us to the "OH" so familiar feeling of ... "why dont we have athletes like OSU? or every other team in the entire NCAA?" Im tired of Michigan going after these non-athletic garbage players that everyone sees as a "safe option". NO!!!! We need athletes and pure blooded football players. We need to set all our sights on McQuay and Treadwell, if we dont sign both of them ill consider this years recruiting class a fail. We have just enough to get by and not enough to be a relevant contender. There is absolutely no excuse for Hoke not to sign those two. Seems like every team in the top 10 classes has at least 1 or more true athletes and stars on either side of the ball. Whos our star? Besides Morris. USC coming off all those sanctions and they still manage to have the #1 recruiting class and sign players like Cravens, gain high interest from McQuay and sign the #2 QB Max Browne. Theres no excuse for Michigan who is argueably the most prestigious team in history. Signing McQuay and Treadwell can get us back on track to being Elite. Anything else is Horsesh#t!!
Is this a joke? This better be a joke. What "athletes" does OSU's class have that we don't have? They have Burrows, we have Dymonte. We have Ben Gedeon and Mike McCray. We have incredible O and D linemen. We have a top QB.
Why am I even biting on this, I don't know. We have a great class. We can't compete with OSU? We have a better class than they do.
Its sad i have to say this because im a die hard of all die hard UM fans, but Minds like yours are the reason we came into the season ranked #8 because guys like you overrated the guys we have, ending in the ultimate turmoil of a hypothetically "Relevant" season and being embarrassed on national TV 41-14 fair and square. Our players get hyped up because they play for Michigan and they turn out the same these past 6 years. You guys really need to get your heads out of your asses and look around. Compare top 5 teams and their talent to ours. Oh wait your right... THERES NO COMPARISON. You guys still havent explained to me who our stars are besides Denard, whether on O or D... I'll wait.
And im not just saying OSU im talking everywhere else also. The SEC and the far West have all the athleticism and talent. Look at a team like LSU/Bama/Florida, mostly black players on O and Defensive line, all pure athletes, they have athletic WR's, RB's, and even on defense they have huge fast and athletic LB's. Thats the reason why teams in the SEC control the trenches and dominate teams in other conferences. The south has naturally bigger and faster guys just like Lee Corso said a few saturdays ago. Until Hoke can go out and recruit real athletes in the south such as a Leon McQuay, i think Michigan will continue to bite at the ankles of the Elite and never succomb to legit relevance in a while. And your niave to think OSU has no athletes. Thats why their undefeated.
Michigan has a fantastic recruiting class. Yes, the strength of it is on the lines, but that isn't a bad thing. I'd love to have a couple of your OL recruits go to OSU. If you're referencing the Marshall, Elliott, Burrows, or Woodard type guys that OSU has, well you guys do have Thomas, McCray, and Gedeon. I don't think you guys are going to see the Marshall or Elliott types as much under Hoke. They just don't fit what Hoke is looking for in RBs or WRs. Get used to big power backs and tall, powerful WRs. In the right system, though, they can be elite.
Call high schoolers "garbage players" one more time, and you're gone.
Along with his massacre of the English language, he's definitely upped his game.
Also alot of people don realize that alot of the recruits take into consideration (as lame as it sounds) the uniforms. Adidas is killing us right now. Yellow pants already make us look a little on the Jenny Craig side but just everything about our jerseys make us look sloppy. When i see defensive backs running around with shoulder pads the size of lineman pads it baffles me how Adidas designs their stuff. Its horrible. Michigan state shows us up everytime we play with those Nike Elite jersey designs, (new ones every year). Nike jerseys are just much more sleek and are more up with the times. Adidas takes us back to 95 when everyone sported loose sleeves and short jerseys with their bellys hanging out. Hopefully UM signs with Nike in '17.
I'm sure jerseys, while playing some part in recruiting ultimately are not very important.
Here's a list of things probably more important to recruits
Depth Chart
Ability to produce NFL talent
TV exposure
Proximity to home
Girls (sorry Cal Tech)
campus amenities
Head Coach/Coordinator/Position Coach
It's nice to have special jerseys, but somehow doubtful that a recruit would pick MSU over Michigan and the tiebreaker was chrome helmets.
I really hope this is a joke.
This is an excerpt from a Leon McQuay interview with ESPN just posted. You can go look right now: http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/on-the-trail/post?id=22871
Leon Says:
"It was a great experience. You actually have to visit and see the place in person to do it justice and [to] get a full impact of what's going on there," McQuay Jr. said. "Everything about it was great. All the way down to how many uniform combinations they have."


text: Actress Marin Hinkle says her "proper, respectful, New England upbringing" may be the reason she's on television. "I've always felt like the reason I became an actor is because I look for more high drama than what I had at home," she says with a smile. If the Boston native — who plays Jon Cryer's ex-wife Judith on "Two and a Half Men" — was seeking drama, she has found it in her new NBC series, "Deception," which premiered Monday. Hinkle was in Pasadena, Calif., over the weekend talking up "Deception" — a mystery thriller starring Meagan Good as a detective who goes undercover to investigate a wealthy family headed up by Victor Garber — at a Television Critics Association press tour. "This particular show, my God, the family has so many dark secrets. Everything you think you know about somebody is the opposite of what really is," says Hinkle, who plays the wife of the family's eldest son, played by Tate Donovan of "Argo." "It's like a great page-turning mystery novel." Hinkle only had a small part in the "Deception" pilot but was asked to be a series regular. And although her role has been limited on "Men," she hopes to reappear there as well before the end of the season. That's why Hinkle is glad she got some time to relax and see her family over the holidays, visiting with her relatives in the North End and skiing in New Hampshire. The actress, who has also appeared onstage in Williamstown and Boston, hopes to get back to the theater during the "Deception" hiatus. "I have my radar open to any play, if you hear of one let me know!"

The lights are on
Hyrule-heads unite! Green tights welcome. The Legend of Zelda is one of gaming's most famous franchises, and the power of the Triforce is collected here.
When I want to get my Zelda news as soon as it appears I usually visit a Zelda Fan site. Some of them are awful, and rarely update, some of them are great and update daily with either news or fan art, projects, and game guides, and some of them, although a great news source, have obnoxious or unprofessional editors.
I was wondering, if you visit fan sites, which ones do you prefer and why?
Signatures are dumb.
In the late 90s I used to visit a really neat site( at least I remember it being cool) called the Odyssey of Hyrule. I recently looked it up and it's no longer around. Other than this group, I don't frequent any fan sites.
I use Zelda Informer and Zelda Universe. They're both pretty up to date and they have a lot of cool extras that are pretty fun.
I've used both of those. Zeldainformer is more up to date but I absolutely can't stand a couple of the editors.
I believe that Zeldadungeon.net is pretty up to date, and has some interesting editorials. I also visit Zelda Universe, usually right after I visit dungeon.
Zeldadungeon.net is a really good site. I use it a lot for Zelda news and has very well written walkthroughs. I also agree they have interesting editorials. I've never tried out Zelda Universe so I'll have to check that out myself.
I love Zelda Dungeon. I used to frequent Zeldapedia.wikia.com, but this one admin was just such a jerk, always picking fights with me. They don't really stay terribly up to date on news anyway, but their information is always good. They have very nicely organized archives of enemies, characters, locations, games, items, etc. plus some neat poll and other social pages.
I'm actually starting a fansite with some friends of mine. Only it's a Nintendo fansite with link's to subsites for each first party franchise. It's not quite ready yet, but I'll be sure to post on the forum when it is.
Here's one I like: Zelda Dungeon. Except they sort of have dropped the ball. They have a lot of free time (seeing as no Zelda game is about to come out) but they don't have walkthroughs for every game and they don't have video walkthroughs for every game. Zeldapedia is go to for just plain info.
Yeah Zelda Dungeon is pretty... what's a word for not up-to-date? But anyway, I agree with Musicalham, Zeldapedia wins on info but I can't stand the admins, who are most just so flippin condescending. Zelda Dungeon is great for editorials and articles written by fans and such, plus they have a really cool giveaway on the forum every month. Also Axle the Beast is there, so that's awesome. Plus their forum has a section dedicated to games of Mafia, which is pretty full of win.

Metal heater pipe worn thru on 88 leone
Posted 07 May 2012 - 12:38 AM
I have just noticed my leone is leaking water, quick pop of the bonnet reveals there is water spraying out from a metal Y join on the heater pipe (just behind carby). As it is dark outside, im wondering if this part is easily removable for repairs, i have tried searching for pics and info online as i expeted this to be a common problem, has this happened to you before and how did you fix it?
thanks in advance

The pipe on mine has a wee 90 deg bend with another pipe coming out, and the corner of this pipe has rusted away.
its connected to a hose at the end i can see, im wondering if its attached by hose or if its pressed into the block, sorta the reason why i posted up here, hoping someone will know..(of couse they will!!!)

Is it connected via another rubber hose...ill be pulling it apart tonight...
Posted 08 May 2012 - 03:30 AM
So a few questions i have:
Can I bypass the carby?
And what kind of affect will it have?
Posted 08 May 2012 - 08:53 AM
If it is the Metal Pipe that is Rusted, you can Weld it with Bronze, I did that on my EA82 intake Manyfold's metal pipe, when I did the Weber Swap, but I did that to Close the Water Passage for the Carburetor, because Weber's Don't need it.
However, you might be Able to Swap that Pipe with a better one, if is the one Going to the Intake Manyfold.
If it is the Small Pipe on the Intake, for the Carburetor, you can Weld it with Aluminium...
You can See Pictures of both Weldings, here:
Kind Regards.

mispelled word, fixed
Posted 08 May 2012 - 04:53 PM
The main reason i want to bypass the waterjacket in the manifold is because im lazy, I have talked to others about this and it may cause problems with the auto choke?
Can you think of any other issues i may have?
Posted 13 May 2012 - 01:30 AM
I Bypassed the Heather Core (Not Needed here, in the Caribbean Tropics) Using a "U-Turn" 5/8 Hose... by that way, I Keep the optimum Water Circulation on the Coolin' System.
I Kindly suggest you to Remove the intake Manyfold and take it to a Proffesional Welder to cut the Rusted metal Pipe (it can be Removed from the intake) and put there a New one or Adapt another with the Same 5/8" Measurement.
Use Brand New Original Subaru intake Gaskets.
Kind Regards.
Posted 13 May 2012 - 02:40 AM
Im also thinking of getting rid of the AC unit, is it just a simple case of removing the unit, leaving the bracket for the alternator, and sourcing a shorter belt, or more involved?
Posted 14 May 2012 - 09:25 PM
please watch this video for the easy way to remove this as a whole assembly. @5:45
here is the same procedure but going back together, showing better detail of the mounting points. @1:25

My USMS Times
YouTube Videos of my swims
This was more of a survival type swim meet for me today. I haven't been swimming a whole lot over the past couple months with my mother in law gone, as well as my house rebuild project going on. The first "problem" is solved as my MIL is back, but the house fixup will be going for a while.
I did minimal warmup, figuring that it wasn't going to help me that much, but too much could hinder my performance by taking away valuable energy.
I'm getting all these splits off the computer timing tapes, which I luckily have since I'm the Top Ten/Records guy for the LMSC. They have an old cable for the timing system and it doesn't transfer the touchpad 50 splits from the timing computer to the laptop with Meet Manager, so they have to manually enter all the finish times. Doing splits would be way too much work...but I can look after the fact at my own times.
All splits from the tape and my rough estimate subtraction math...
29.0 / 1:02.78
39.1 / 39.0
42.5 / 42.8
34.0 / 32.3
I knew this race was going to be tough, but I didn't expect to see 1:02 on the wall as I was going on my back. It definitely hurt, and I just held it together as best I could.
400 Free Relay (did leadoff leg): 27.27 (55.42) - we were 2nd place on the relay
My goggle filled with water off the dive, I just swim this relaxed, breathing every stroke. Powered off the 50 turn with about 10 SDKs and came home as best I could...that's why it was nearly even splitting for a 100.
200 Free - 2:00.28
28.11 / 30.7 (58.84)
31.2 / 30.1 (1:01.3)
Originally my intention was to swim the 200 Fly in this race, but I decided otherwise on that after the 400 IM earlier. Wise choice on my part.
Looking back at the tape splits, I can see just how close this was.
I was 0.02 ahead at the 50, about 0.3 ahead at the 100, 1.1 ahead at the 150, and then barely touched him out on the finish by 0.07. This young buck 23 year old always seems to be a little Sammy save-up when it comes to races like this. I had to really put my head down for the final 6-7 stroke cycles (normally I'd probably have taken 5 breaths or so during this), but it's probably what got me the win.
200 Medley Relay - (Fly split) - went 26.4 - 1st place on the relay
I figured I could do a 50 okay.
200 Fly - 2:17.44
28.96 / 33.9 (1:02.89)
37.1 / 37.4
I didn't feel "normal" on this race, and just held it together by backing off after the 100. I managed to keep my breathing pattern good, just backed off the intensity. Happy to have lived through another one!
200 Free Relay - anchor leg 24.1 - we got 1st place by about 1 second.
Came from behind throughout the relay after we gave away a 4 second deficit on the 1st leg. I dove in basically tied with the other team's final swimmer. It's fun finally have a relay team group in my workout group that I can finally race with. In the past I'd be the young gun with a bunch of AARP members.
50 Fly - 27.09
I got beat on this one by about 1/2 a second. I just wasn't ready to sprint on this one, but I was gaining on the 2nd length. ...just 5 more yards...
500 Free - 5:27.41
30.4 / 32.9
33.5 / 34.0
33.6 / 33.0
32.9 / 32.7
32.4 / 31.7
I managed to negative split this one 2:44.4 to 2:42.9 (about 1.5 seconds!)
I was definitely a hurting guy prior to this race...fully exhausted, and just dove in swam "EZ" at the beginning. I glanced at the clock at the 200 and it said 2:10. In my head I thought that was wayyyyy too slow, so I tried to crank it up and actually felt really good doing so. Go to the legs!! That's why I do those insane kicking sets even now in my YMCA lap lane practice!

Note: Due to space limitations, my full story on Piedmont winning the NCS 2-A East Bay title did not run unfortunately. There were a few graphs cut off at the end talking about the great job done by Piedmont's Bryce Chu to close out the victory. Here's the full version.
By Jimmy Durkin
Staff writer
OAKLAND — Piedmont High shortstop Trevor McCalmont discarded his hat, called off his teammates and caught a soaring popup hit by Northgate's Kevin Krueger.
Before he knew it, his teammates had formed a dogpile in the middle of the infield Saturday at McAfee Coliseum to celebrate the final out in Piedmont's 6-5 win over Northgate in the North Coast Section 2-A East Bay championship baseball game — clinching the first NCS crown in school history for the seventh-seeded Highlanders.
"We've been thinking about this since Day 1," senior pitcher/first baseman Jordan Remer said. "It's just a dream come true."
Before the season started, Piedmont coach John Nelson had expectations of winning an NCS crown. Several players listed winning the title as their season goal when Nelson made them fill out a goal sheet before the year.
'I brought the sheets out today and said, 'Here it is. You're here. Let's seize the moment'," Nelson said. "It's great for the school, it's great for the city of Piedmont."
After building a 4-0 lead on top-seeded Northgate (24-3), the Highlanders (20-7-1) nearly saw the title fall through their grasp.
Four errors, three walks, a passed ball and two wild pitches allowed the Broncos — who had just one hit on the day — to score five unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take a 5-4 lead. Remer, Piedmont's USF-bound ace, was knocked out of the game after throwing 99 pitches. He was charged with four of the runs, with reliever Jeremy George allowing two inherited runners to score plus the go-ahead run.
George wouldn't have to wait long for redemption though.
The Highlanders' Lawrence Davis hit a one-out double in the top of the sixth, McCalmont followed with a walk and a fielders' choice forced Davis out at home as Steven Deutsch reached first. George then unloaded on a 0-2 pitch and crushed a double over the left fielder's head to plate both runs.
"I figured this was the time for redemption," George said. "I went up there just trying to swing. I didn't even see where it landed."
With the lead regained, UC-Davis bound pitcher Bryce Chu — who earned the win in Wednesday's semifinal victory against Campolindo — retired the final six batters to get the save.
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous," Chu said. "I'm just glad to be the guy out there to get the last out."

Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller wants to the team to make their mark on the history books in Saturday's Champions League final by emulating the club's 1997 victory.
The Schwarzgelben conquered Serie A giants Juventus 3-1 to be crowned European victors despite being underdogs and they are once again not the favoured side ahead of their battle with Bayern Munich at Wembley.
Weidenfeller hopes Jurgen Klopp's men can follow in Ottmar Hitzfeld's charges footsteps this weekend and believes victory would see the team reach the same legendary status, before warning of the threat the Bavarians pose.
"Everyone still speaks today with unbelievable admiration about the '97 team," he told Kicker on Thursday. "Should we now also succeed in lifting the trophy in London, we would probably achieve a similar status.
"But Bayern will be determined to do everything to beat us on Saturday."
Dortmund were beaten 2-1 by Hoffenheim in the final game of the Bundesliga season, though BVB were also beaten 2-1 by Hamburg ahead of the 1997 Champions League final - a comparison that the German goalkeeper hopes will bode well.
"Sure, it's a good omen!," he added. "Again we are the underdogs. Just as it applied to the team of 1997, it applies to us: in one game, anything is possible."
Weidenfeller was adamant that the defensive frailties which have haunted Klopp's side in the Bundesliga - allowing Bayern to romp to success, finishing 25 points above BVB - will not plague them on Saturday in London.
He added: "Unfortunately, we have show bad concentration too often at times this season. We were also not as determined as in the previous season in the league.
"However, in the Champions League we have played very differently. It was clear from the first whistle in every encounter that we have tried our hardest with maximum effort."

This is the start of a new monthly feature in which Times pop music critic Randall Roberts recommends essential new music and reissues.
William Tyler, Impossible Truth (Merge Records)
Tyler is a solo acoustic guitarist whose 2010 album "Behold the Spirit" was a quiet but oft-menacing joy. A self-described "Nashville lifer" whose father, a music biz insider, was once chased down the street by a knife-brandishing David Allan Coe (but then who on Music Row hasn't been?), Tyler has strummed in service of acts including country-soul band Lambchop, country singer Charlie Louvin, soul vocalist Candi Staton and folk troubadour Bonnie "Prince" Billy. "Impossible Truth," which comes out March 19, is impossibly beautiful. The highlight of these eight meditations is the epic 10-minute "The World Set Free," which injects distortion and percussion into his mantras.
File under: mesmerizing solo folk guitarists
For fans of: John Fahey, Sandy Bull
TeamSupreme, "Collection 1" (Alpha Pup)
TeamSupreme is a group of electronic producers, many L.A.-based, that collaborates on bouncy rhythm tracks as a kind of game. With more than 44 recordings (available for free on YouTube and SoundCloud), the collective has followed simple rules: Using a few sound samples and a tempo or two as a guide, each producer in the 19-member collective builds a two- to three-minute beat; these individual beats are then worked into a single quarter-hour roller coaster of a track. The results are a blast -- synthetic instrumental jams filled with tripped-out rhythms and deep, complicated textures. Check out Nalepa's "Uh Oh Hey Um," a hypnotic work built around kids saying the aforementioned words; Nobody's "Lingus," a stab at the thriving trap subgenre, bounces as it marches. And Penthouse Penthouse's "In the Penthouse" is the strangest new music you'll hear this week.

SARASOTA — Patients too frail for traditional heart surgery will have new options with the opening this month of a hybrid operating room at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
The $4.5 million operating room will allow surgeons, cardiologists and other specialists to perform combined, minimally invasive procedures for even complex heart problems, said Gwen MacKenzie, the hospital's chief executive, at a news conference Thursday.
Patients will benefit from having their own cardiologist as well as a cardiac surgeon working together, she said.
Overseeing the expanding cardiac care program will be Jeffrey Sell, the new chief of cardiovascular surgery.
Sell's position is a new one at Sarasota Memorial, which formed a partnership last March with Columbia University to increase expertise, research and training in cardiac care.
Columbia officials handled the job search, culling potential candidates from "hundreds and hundreds of applicants," said Michael Argenziano, section chief of cardiac surgery for Columbia University Medical Center.
Sell, a cardiac surgeon, attended Yale and a joint program at Harvard and MIT in health, science and technology.
Currently the director of cardiac surgical services for MedStar Health in the Baltimore/Washington area, he has done extensive work in pediatrics and transplants.
"This is going to be state-of-the-art care for people here," said Sell, who will begin his job in Sarasota next March.
One piece of equipment in the operating room will allow physicians to observe a beating heart without opening a patient's chest, said Gary Snyder, manager of the hospital's cardiac catheterization lab.
That's important because many of the hospital's heart patients are frail, with multiple health problems.
"Some of them wouldn't survive open-heart surgery," Snyder said. Less invasive procedures then could be performed.
Sarasota Memorial treats more than 65,000 heart patients a year, making its cardiology program the area's largest by far.
Almost 28,000 heart opperations have been performed since the program was created in May of 1983.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - This week, Alina Liao and Miki Seltzer were notified of their qualification to the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships, to be held Saturday, Apr. 14 at the University of Michigan.
Liao, a sophomore, has qualified in the all-around for the second consecutive year. With an average score of 37.877, Liao has earned ECAC Gymnast of the Week twice this season. She placed third in the all-around at the Ivy Classic and third on floor at last weekend's ECAC Championships.
This is also senior Seltzer's second trip to Regionals, having qualified on vault and floor last year. This year she will be competing on floor. Locked in a close battle for one position, Seltzer's career high 9.85 at the ECAC Championships was enough to clinch the spot and earn her the conference floor title.

Unease in the local housing market could impact area students taking part in the Grundy Area Vocational Center's Building Trades program.
The GAVC board is currently considering which direction the program should take as students wrap up their project house in spring 2013, and a new project is introduced next fall.
GAVC Director Lance Copes said the issue was raised at the last board meeting and no formal action has been taken, but said the board may consider alternative projects. At this point, Copes said the GAVC board is in conversation about how to proceed.
"In the last four years, we have sold our houses without any concern," he said. "Being in the market we're in, if a house does not appear to be moving quickly, we might want to consider other options."
Board member and Coal City Community Unit School District 1 Superintendent Dr. Kent Bugg agreed.
"The building trades program at GAVC has a long history and it's just been a tremendous program for our kids, but the housing market has caused some challenges for us," Bugg said.
Bugg said the declines in employment in the construction industry have had an impact in enrollment in the program, and pointed to the cost of building the house.
"Building the house is a big capitol outlay expenditure," he said. "It's never been an issue in the past, because we were always able to turn around and sell it quickly, but the market's turning right now."
Bugg said the cost to build the home averages about $200,000, which is split among GAVC member schools — Morris Community High School, Coal City High School, Minooka Community High School and Gardner-South Wilmington High School. He said that investment has been returned in past years, but it's less certain if that will continue to be the case.
"In the past, we've been able to make a profit on the project," he said. "It's just a different market right now."
Prior to the recession, Copes said the Building Trades students completed a house as a two-year project. To help offset the slower market, the board lengthened the project to three years before the current house was started.
Copes said whatever the board decides, they support the aim of the program in equipping the next generation of tradesmen and women with the skills and knowledge to be able to transition into careers.
"The board is very committed to keeping this program alive," he said. "We are going to see a need for building homes and carpenters and I'd hate to lose the program."
Bugg echoed Copes' interest in keeping the program.
"It's a real challenge because I think everyone at GAVC values that program," he said. "The instructor does a great job, the kids (get great experience), but we also have a responsibility to be fiscally responsible to our taxpayers as well."
Copes said other similar programs statewide have been shuttered in recent years, but GAVC is in a good spot at this point. He noted the fact that they have eight lots to build on, which were purchased long before the recession.
"We're just trying to make sure we're keeping the best opportunities for our students available," he said. "We want to make sure that students are building a home. If it isn't a home, it'll be something else."
