Wabash dominated for the second consecutive week, defeating Denison 50-13. However, the Little Giants suffered a major loss when Tyler Holmes tore his right ACL in the second quarter.
"Football is a great game, but it is physical and you always have guys go down," Coach Erik Raeburn said. "It's not a question of if guys are going to get injured, it's a question of who. We tell the backups all the time 'You're a play away from having to go in there and perform with the game on the line.' Hopefully those young guys will be ready to roll and pick up where Holmes left off."
Holmes earned first-team All-Conference honors last year leading the NCAC with 1,067 yards. He had 104-yards rushing and a touchdown before Saturday's injury.
Wabash started the scoring with special teams, just as it did in last week. The Big Red punt returner Colin Morris muffed a booming Cam Sobleski kick that Justin Woods eventually recovered for a touchdown.
Ian McDougall kicked a 27-yard field goal, then Holmes and Michael Putko rushed for touchdowns. The rout had begun, 23-0.
"We started off with a lot of mental errors and they came out with a few different looks we weren't expecting," Putko said. "But we made our adjustments and got everybody settled down. For example, their linebacker shot underneath a route we thought would be open."
Holmes' backup Mason Zurek '16 added a scoring dive for a 30-0 halftime lead.
One of the game's key sequences occurred early in the second quarter. A high snap sailed over Putko's head and pinned the Little Giants on their own 15, leading to a third-and-28. The safe play would have been to throw a short pass and punt, but Putko rifled the ball over the middle to Jon Laird for 25 yards. On the next play, Putko completed a short pass to Houston Hodges who turned up field and gained 17 on a fourth-and-three.
"We practiced it all week and I knew if I saw a certain (defensive) look, I was going to go [to Laird] with the ball," Putko said.
Putko had another efficient day in his second start. He completed 15-of-23 passes for 173 yards. He added 63-yards rushing on 12 carries and two touchdowns.
Houston Hodges led all receivers with seven catches for 78 yards. Sean Hildebrand had a quiet three catches, but effectively handled his down-field blocking duties.
Mason Zurek rushed for 66 on 14 carries and a touchdown in replacement. CP Porter and Anthony Stella combined to add an additional 66 yards and two touchdowns.
On the other side of the ball, the defense lived up to coaches' and fan's expectations. The unit forced four turnovers—all fumbles—and held the Big Red to 1-of-11 on third down conversions.
"We wanted to send a statement to the rest of the teams around the conference," defensive end Tyler McCullen said. "We want them to see our scores and let them know we're for real this year."
McCullen recorded three tackles and teamed up with Cody Buresh for Wabash's only sack. Woods led the team with nine tackles and a forced fumble.
On special teams, the oft-overlooked Sobleski continued his stellar play. His first punt sent the returner running back to his goal line, leading to the muff. He averaged 44 yards-per-punt on seven tries and had three exceed 50 yards, including one from his end zone. The four punts less than 50 yards were all downed inside the opponent's 20.
"When everybody is blocking up front and you're getting good snaps, it makes my job a lot easier to be consistent," Sobleski said.
The two-time All-Conference punter isn't concerned he doesn't always receive the praise he may deserve.
"We all know special teams is important — it's one of our three keys to the game," Sobleski said.
Wabash travels to Allegheny next week. The Gators handed Wabash one of its two losses last year at Byron P. Hollet Little Giant Stadium — something the team has not forgot. "We're ready to go in and try to get our win back from last year," McCullen said.
Kickoff will be 1 p.m. Saturday in Meadville, PA.

Java Communications Without JNI
I recently wrote about using the RXTX library to program an Arduino over the USB comms port. This sort of communication requires Java to native system access, and some don't like some of the complexities in getting RXTX to work. For instance, you need all of the right native libraries in the right place, and you need to set the library path on the Java command line just right. PureJavaComm by Spare Time Labs is a pure Java alternative to RXTX — thanks to Al Williams for pointing this out to me.
PureJavaComm's goal is to provide Java-only access to the comms port requiring only the Java Native Access (JNA) library. JNA is an open source project maintained by Tim Wall that allows you to write Java code only to call into native libraries (i.e., DLLs on Windows). Without JNA, you would have to write potentially complex Java Native Interface (JNI) code or other glue code to make this work. For instance, the following code sample from the JNA Wikipedia page works as-is on Windows, Linux, or OS X, to call the native C runtime
printf function:
import com.sun.jna.Library; import com.sun.jna.Native; import com.sun.jna.Platform; /** Simple example of native library declaration and usage. */ public class HelloWorld { public interface CLibrary extends Library { CLibrary INSTANCE = (CLibrary) Native.loadLibrary( (Platform.isWindows() ? "msvcrt" : "c"), CLibrary.class); void printf(String format, Object... args); } public static void main(String[] args) { CLibrary.INSTANCE.printf("Hello, World\n"); for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) { CLibrary.INSTANCE.printf("Argument %d: %s\n", i, args[i]); } } }
Let's take a look at how it works, and explore an example using it with an Arduino.
Inside JNA
JNA works similar to Microsoft's Platform Invocation Services, COM's IDispatch, or Java reflection/introspection. It implements a single small layer of JNI code that acts as a stub to call into any native library from your Java code. It runs on most platforms that support Java, maps all Java primitive types to native types, handles conversion between Java and C strings, supports unicode, variable arguments, Microsoft COM, and variable arguments. See the JNA project page for a complete list of features, but this is the bulk of them.
C pointers are mapped to Java through the use of arrays, as in this example:
// C method void fill_buffer(int *buf, int len); // Equivalent JNA mapping void fill_buffer(int[] buf, int len);
However, if you want the memory to be accessible beyond the local scope of a function call, you need to use a
com.sun.jna.Memory object:
private com.sun.jna.Memory buffer = new com.sun.jna.Memory(1024); private void doSomethingNative() { //... fill_buffer(buffer, 1024); }
Using PureJavaComm for Serial Port Communications
To begin with the PureJavaComm library, I downloaded the code from github, and opened the project in NetBeans, although it works in Eclipse as well. I chose the "Clean and build project" method, and NetBeans proceeded to use the Maven build scripts to download all the dependencies and then build the project seamlessly, and without issue.
To test it with an Arduino, I took the sample code and project from my previous blog on Arduino, and modified it slightly. First, instead of RXTX, I included only two JAR files in my build. The first is jna-4.0.0.jar, which is included with PureJavaComm in the lib directory. Second, I used the output of the PureJavaComm build, purejavacomm-0.0.21.jar, found in the bin directory of the project.
The updated Java-to-Arduino code is below. Here's a quick summary of the changes (marked in the comments as well):
- Marked by "IMPORTS" in the comments, import the purejavacomms jtermios packages
- Marked by "PORTS", I noticed a slight difference in the COMM port names returned
- Marked by "CONTAINS", the difference in port names required this change
- Marked by "FLOW-CONTROL", setting some flow control parameters are required
import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.util.Enumeration; import purejavacomm.*; // IMPORTS import jtermios.Termios.*; public class ArduinoJavaComms implements SerialPortEventListener { SerialPort port = null; private String appName = getClass().getName(); private BufferedReader input = null; private static final int TIME_OUT = 1000; // Port open timeout private static final String PORT_NAMES[] = { // PORTS "tty.usbmodem", // Mac OS X // "usbdev", // Linux // "tty", // Linux // "serial", // Linux // "COM3", // Windows }; public static void main(String[] args) { ArduinoJavaComms lightSensor = new ArduinoJavaComms(); lightSensor.initialize(); } public void initialize() { try { CommPortIdentifier portid = null; Enumeration portEnum = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers(); while (ported == null && portEnum.hasMoreElements()) { portid = (CommPortIdentifier)portEnum.nextElement(); if ( portid == null ) continue; System.out.println("Trying: " + portid.getName()); for ( String portName: PORT_NAMES ) { if ( portid.getName().equals(portName) || portid.getName().contains(portName)) { // CONTAINS port = (SerialPort) portid.open("ArduinoJavaComms", TIME_OUT); port.setFlowControlMode( SerialPort.FLOWCONTROL_XONXOFF_IN+ SerialPort.FLOWCONTROL_XONXOFF_OUT); // FLOW-CONTROL input = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( port.getInputStream() )); System.out.println( "Connected on port: " + portid.getName() ); port.addEventListener(this); port.notifyOnDataAvailable(true); } } } while ( true) { try { Thread.sleep(100); } catch (Exception ex) { } } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } @Override public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) { try { switch (event.getEventType() ) { case SerialPortEvent.DATA_AVAILABLE: String inputLine = input.readLine(); System.out.println(inputLine); break; default: break; } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
Running this project requires that you have the two JAR files mentioned above in the class path, and that's it. I began receiving events from my Arduino the first time I tried it.
Happy coding!

Memphis Job Fair
Memphis, TN 38118
Crowne Plaza Memphis East
Venue Information
The Job Fair will take place in the Salon FGH room.
Parking is complimentary.
Common Questions
- What makes a JobFairX event different?
- Are the employers actually hiring?
- Why don't all employers accept paper résumés?
- What if the employers are in industries that don't interest me?
- What time should I arrive?
What makes a JobFairX event different?
A JobFairX event connects entry-level to mid-career candidates with dozens of top companies. These events are free for attendees. Our events are organized in a rapid-interview style to ensure every candidate has the opportunity to talk to their company of choice.
Are the employers actually hiring?
Yes, and they have a number of different positions. As a result, their recruiters interact with job seekers in a variety of ways.
- Some recruiters have job openings that they need to fill immediately.
- Other recruiters are looking for hard-working individuals to apply for jobs that are almost always open. That kind of recruiter might ask for a paper résumé and/or give you a business card and ask you to call.
- Some recruiters have positions that are not available right now, but will be opening up soon. These employers want to identify candidates and get them in the pipeline now so they can fill those positions as soon as possible when they receive hiring approval.
Why don't all employers accept paper résumés?
A federal regulation called the OFCCP Internet Applicant Rule tells certain government contractors how to gather and retain job applications via the Internet. Because of the Rule, many contractors require that applicants use their online systems and not submit paper résumés.
- OFCCP is the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, an agency of the United States Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration.
- The OFCCP enforces laws prohibiting employment discrimination by federal contractors.
- Some employers that are not bound by the Rule do not accept paper résumés simply because they have put their entire application process on the Internet. One great advantage to applicants is that large employers can easily route the online résumés of desirable applicants to the appropriate divisions, offices, plants, etc.
What if the employers are in industries that don't interest me?
An employer's primary industry or company name does not necessarily indicate what openings the company is trying to fill.
- A drugstore chain may be recruiting for positions in transportation and distribution.
- A brewery may be recruiting for jobs in information technology.
What time should I arrive?
All of our events begin promptly at 11:00 AM and run through 2:00 PM Feel free to try and arrive a little early to get near the front of the registration line, or you can choose to arrive a few hours after the event starts and avoid the crowd.

It always feels like the beginning of the year. The French have the perfect term for this. La rentrée. It refers to the early days of September. Children returning to school. Families returning from vacation. The coasts emptying out. The cities filling up again. The July sales (the French government dictates that stores only have sales in January and July) long gone. A return to "regular life."
To me, this September feels more like la rentrée than any in recent memory.
Well, thank you for asking.
Remember when I said that there were some things in the works? I wasn't just talking about food. I'm starting a new job tomorrow! Talk about feeling like the first day of school.
I've laid my outfit on a chair, shoes beneath. I have a few pens and a new notebook in my bag. My blackberry's charged. My alarm is set. I've practiced the route to the office.
I thought I'd be writing today about making some big, last-all-week, dish that I could dole out in my new lunchbox every morning with a piece of fruit, granola bar, and diet Coke. Who am I kidding? Do you honestly think I have a lunch box?
For now, I'll share my dinner (leftovers) with you.
Here's to hoping I still have time to cook!
Lahmajun-style sauce
Lahmajun in an arabic meat pizza. I first tried it when I was in summer camp and one of my Syrian friend's family invited me for a picnic lunch on family visiting day when my parents got stuck in traffic. One taste and I was hooked. These mini meat pizzas, never larger than four inches in diameter according to my long-forgotten friend's mother, are a little spicy, a little sour, and a lotta good. I usually make these with store-bought pizza dough, using recipes from FoodBridge and Blue Jean Gourmet as a guide. Thanks ladies for helping me out here.
Too lazy to even roll out dough earlier this week, I turned the lahmajun meat topping into a sauce to put on top of barley. This is a bit more tomato-y than when I put it on pizza dough. The pomegranate molasses provides a sweet piquancy. I add a fair amount of harissa for kick. The pizzas are traditionally made with pine nuts and parsley, but I leave both ingredients out and finish with a little fresh mint.
– 1-2 T olive oil
– 1 onion
– 4 cloves garlic
– 1 lb ground beef or lamb
– 2T lemon juice
– 28 oz can chopped tomatoes
– 2 T pomegranate concentrate or pomegranate molasses
– 1-2 t baharat (or cinnamon)
– 1 T harissa (yes, I really do mean a tablespoon — I like things spicy — adjust to your own taste)
– mint leaves
Saute. Chop onion and garlic and add to olive oil in a large skillet. Saute until golden brown and translucent.
Brown. Add meat and brown.
Keep cooking. Deglaze meat with lemon juice, scraping up all the good stuff. Add tomatoes, pomegranate, baharat, and harissa to taste. And of course, salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens. If it gets too dry, add some water.
Eat. Serve over rice or barley and sprinkle with torn fresh mint.
PS – that cutie up there, that's Caroline's son.

Sorry all, I got into this discussion late, so my comments may seem out of line with the current air of debate. I think terrorism is largely the product of multifarious suffering. The main catalysts, AFAIAK, are poverty, water shortages, and starvation.
It's unlikely that the Pakistani mililtary would allow the fundies to take over the government because they are worried about what India would do if that were to happen.
We have a saying in the south: "Don't let the screen door hit you on your way out".
Actually I've heard D.C. described as a city with "Northern Charm and Southern Efficiency."
My girlfriend tries to tell me the same thing, that she's a "southern belle" because she was born in Baltimore!Puh-leaze. Ever since the War of the Great Rebellion (you hush, Zollars, ya hear?!) Maryland and especially Washington, DC has been overrun by Yankees such as myself so much that the South now begins at the Potomac, and I'd even go so far to say the "real" South begins at the James. Northern VA is almost as Yankee-fied as Maryland. :-P
As a bonified Yankee transplant living south of the Potomac & north of the James, I fully agree with Shultz.
Does she have ancestors who fought in the war?
Remember the slaughter of Vicksburg!
And can one say the same thing of Southron culture today? does our government represent our cultural heritage and interests? absolutely not. We have been dumped by the democrat party for our general dislike of big government and dumped by the Republican party for the same thing. There is nothing left in our culture of what it once was.
And yes Jennifer, I am against southrons marrying yankees.Joe Zollars
A long history of cultural "borrowing" but also a long history of maintaining a core of uniformity as it were. I have been collecting books and materials on Japan for sometime and have some interesting things, in particular, from the Occupation after WWII (both from American and Japanese writers). There were political movements for democracy in Japan before WWII. While it is common for Japan to be presented as a uniform culture, that is not the actual case. But that is not the subject for this thread I suppose. If anyone is interested, perhaps we can start another.Ebor
That's absurd. There are no true southerners left.
And about this whole War of Rebelion junk, how could we rebel against something that had always been a voluntary union of sovreign (key word sovreign) republics. What the south did was excercise their constitutional right to keep the feds from taking our rights and liberties. Of course since the War, nothing has been voluntary--particularly for us Southrons who have been at the brunt end of over 140 years of cultural genocide, being robbed of our history, culture, and the very things that make us Southrons. The South has been enslaved for over 140 years, in parts, and it is likely to continue until enough of us rise up and drive them damn yankees back.
And yes that is a Roman Catholic Priest who wrote that poem, and others among which is my favorite poem "The Sword of Lee." He was a chaplain in the Army of Northern VA and is considered by many of us Southrons to be a natoinal hero.
I have a portrait of Robert E. Lee hanging in my room as well. Is okay for a Yank like me to have such things?
Are you saying that Zollars is not a Southerner? Thems fightin' words!!
Jennifer, I said we have been dumped by the Republican party because it no longer represents or cares to represent our culture.
I'd like to know more about Japan. This issue of 'culture' is interesting. I believe very strongly there's no such thing as 'pure' culture so I get suspicious when I hear others complain about 'cultural genocide.' I also think that many of us in the west want to 'protect' other cultures in an unatural way. One could (IMHO) that 'cultural genocide' is natural. Groups are always in conflict and one group will always win and another will lose. Protecting a culture from that natural 'evolution' is inherently unnatural.

Oh, the dreaded brick wall ancestor, the bane of every genealogist's life! We all have them, those ancestors who refuse to cooperate and instead prefer to lurk just out of reach of our inquisitive minds. Luckily for us (not so much for the lurking ancestors), there are plenty of tricks to help researchers break down those brick walls. Here are four useful techniques:
1. Go back to the originals.
Published records transcriptions make our jobs as researchers so much easier. Good transcriptions can help us easily locate needed information and apply it to our research. There's just one problem: these transcriptions don't always include all of the information contained in the original record. Remember Ethel Lee (Penland) Ritchie? I used a published transcription of marriage records to locate that information for her and neglected (through, I admit it, sheer absent-mindedness) to follow through by procuring a copy of the original marriage license. That license contained exactly the information I needed to make a breakthrough because it supplied her parents' names. Fortunately, I caught the weakness in my own research almost right away, thus saving myself hours of painstaking labor researching in another direction.
Published family histories warrant the same care. Just because someone else has completed research on your ancestor doesn't mean you should neglect to obtain documentation. Those records contain a lot of clues to your ancestors' lives and will be well worth having in your files. Plus, you'll never know if that family history is correct until you take the time to check the researcher's work. My Jackson Co., GA, Morgan family is a case in point. A reputable and widely known author incorrectly placed the wrong William Morgan as the son of William and Priscilla [–?–] Morgan. How do I know that? Because I, and several other researchers, went back to the original records and checked the author's work. Go back to the originals! You'll never be sorry you did so.
2. Add different records sets to your repertoire.
We all fall into a habit of relying on certain records sets. For 19th and 20th century researchers, federal censuses and official vital records fit that bill perfectly, but don't always answer the questions we have about our ancestors. For this, we must turn to other records sets, like estate records, deeds, court records, and newspapers. In my own research, I've had incredibly good fortune by practicing this maxim. For example, I've found:
- An obituary confirming that Hattie (James) Teague was the mother of Roy Teague's children and tying together much of the information I'd gathered in previous research.
- A Poor School List from 1842 containing the names of two of Amos and Neoma [–?–] Curtis' children, children who were not named in any other record I'd found, including estate records, federal censuses, and land records.
- A deed naming all of Samuel Hopper's heirs.
And the list goes on. Expanding our knowledge and use of records sets outside our comfort zone can often yield large rewards in our research.
3. Expand the search to neighboring localities.
Our ancestors wandered around more than we might imagine, a fact brought home to me as I transcribed Rabun County's late 19th century newspapers. Poor interior roads and the lack of a railroad did not stop Rabun Countians from taking their products to market in Athens, Augusta, and even Richmond, VA. It did not stop them from taking jobs in neighboring counties or from visiting relatives and friends who had moved across state lines into North and South Carolina. Travel between here and California might have been slow, but it didn't stop anyone from going there if they wanted.
For those who lived on or near political borders (e.g. the border between two states), it was sometimes easier to do business in an adjacent area. Imagine living in Pine Mountain in 1893. Where would you conduct business: in Highlands, NC; Mountain Rest, SC; or Clayton, GA? The answer might have been all three, in spite of the fact that Pine Mountain had general stores of its own and, eventually, a post office. Legal affairs might also have been settled in either of those areas, depending on what needed doing. For instance, people often owned land on both sides of a state line. Amos Curtis did, and he's mentioned in both Rabun Co., GA, and Macon Co., NC, land and court records. Further, he had friends and family on both sides of that imaginary line. Communities have seldom been dictated by political boundaries. They were fluid and changing, something we should remember as we research our ancestry.
4. Look at your research from a different perspective.
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, the records just don't contain the information we want them to. For instance, research into the life of Amy (Nichols) Ledford of Macon Co., NC, has yielded not one single record directly connecting her to her parents. But by following a trail of deeds, estate, and other records, I can establish Amy's connection to her siblings and, through them, to her parents. I would never have found this trail, however, if I hadn't been willing to look at the records differently. Instead of treating each record as a dead end, particularly the two records that best demonstrate Amy's relationship to two brothers, I expanded my research, followed where those records led, and eventually found the evidence I needed to reassemble this family group.
Focusing research on possible siblings and parents, as with Amy, is one way researchers can obtain a different perspective, but it's certainly not the only way. In fact, there are a ton of ways researchers can do so, including:
- Creating a timeline of an ancestor's life, which shows gaps in research and possible inconsistencies in the data gathered.
- Exhausting the "usual" records, and then exploring the unusual ones.
- Studying the history of the area(s) where our ancestors lived.
- Expanding research to not just known or suspected family members, but to neighbors and associates as well.
If all else fails, set the research aside and work on another project for a while. This mental rest will most certainly allow all the records gathered to be seen in a new light.
Sometimes, our research hits an inexplicable dead end, but there are ways around this, including the four tips mentioned above. Perhaps the most important tool we can use, one critical to any research solution, is a creative and open mindset, without which our research will surely stagnate.

Hi there.
I thought I'd let you look around my apartment today. A behind-the-scenes tour, if you want to call it that.
You've seen parts of my place all dressed up — covered with nice napkins and dishes, piles of forks and mugs of coffee, purposely haphazard pieces of parsley and slices of orange — but I figured I'd take a step back, maybe two, and lay the surfaces bare.
The light in my apartment isn't great, so I find myself chasing the sun most days.
Here's where I take most of my pictures. It's an old, stained microwave cart on wheels.
I often drag it over to the window and cover it with a big white napkin. The napkin is rarely ironed.
Speaking of the window, I leave a lot of things on the sill to cool.
Somethings I take things outside to the balcony.
This is my table.
If you squint, you can also catch a glimpse of my chairs — six in all, three pairs, each pair a different design. There are the tall ladder backs with slats. The short ladder backs with round rungs. And the woven backs. My sister bought them for me.
This is my lens. It was my first macro – a 35 mm. The photo's taken with the lens, my fancy macro – a 50 mm. See the bokeh? Hello bokeh!
Here's my coffee table. It's big. Three-feet by three-feet by two-feet big. Which I hear is just about the same size as Deb Perelman's kitchen. It also has storage.
Finally, here's where I get some good reading in.
I had toast for breakfast.

I'm not a senior citizen; that really is me in pictured to the right. But as I discovered last summer, you can be an otherwise totally healthy woman in her (let's say 30's) and still have osteoporosis.
Of the estimated 10 million Americans with osteoporosis, 8 million are women. In fact, osteoporosis is actually believed to be under-diagnosed which means there are likely many more women who are unknowingly afflicted with it. It is sometimes discovered by an astute internist (which is what happened to me) but unfortunately is often discovered after fracturing a bone (which happens to many women).
According to the N
According to the NOF, there are many risk factors for osteoporosis in women, including:
- Just being female
- Missed periods (amenorrhea)
- Low estrogen levels (especially during menopause)
- Family history (especially mother and grandmother)
- Being of a particular race/ethnicity such as Caucasian, Asian, or Latino, although African-Americans are also at risk
- Low Body Mass Index (BMI) (being thin and small)
- Lack of calcium and vitamin D, especially in childhood (this can be a real problem for lactose intolerant people)**
- Lack of exercise
- Smoking
- Alcohol abuse
- Certain conditions such as anorexia nervosa and asthma
I have decided to host a food blogging event to alert women to the potential risks of osteoporosis and encourage them to take steps to protect their bones at every age. I am sure that I am not the only food blogga who has osteoporosis and was not aware of it.
Here's the plan: May is National Osteoporosis Awareness Month which is the perfect time to hold an event. If you'd like to participate, then kindly follow these steps:
- Post one calcium-rich recipe on your blog any time between May 1st and May 31st. (Please no back dating or late entries.) And of course boy bloggas are welcome to participate.
- Include a link to this announcement.
- Email the following information to foodblogga [at] yahoo [dot] com, and mention beautiful bones in the subject line.
- Your preferred name
- Blog name
- General geographic location
- Your post URL and recipe name
The recipe can be for any type of dish you like as long as it contains at least one calcium-rich food as a main ingredient.
- Dairy products: all types of cheese, especially mozzarella and Parmesan, milk, soy milk, yogurt, soy protein or whey protein (for smoothies)
- Soy: edamame, soy milk, tofu, tempeh, and other soy products
- Nuts and seeds: all kinds, especially almonds and sesame seeds
- Legumes: all kinds, especially black beans, black-eyed peas, and navy beans
- Seafood: oysters, salmon, sardines, and shrimp
- Green leafy vegetables: beet greens, collards, dandelion greens, kale, mustard greens, spinach, Swiss chard, turnip greens
- Other vegetables: artichokes, asparagus, avocado, bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, celery, cremini mushrooms, fennel bulb, garlic, green beans, okra, potatoes, radishes, rhubarb, romaine lettuce, summer squash, tomatoes (yes, it's a fruit, but come on)
- Fruits: bananas, blackberries, cantaloupe, grapes, kiwi, lemons, limes, oranges, strawberries, watermelon
- Whole grains: (grains that are not milled) such as barley, cornmeal, oats, popcorn (no kidding!) quinoa, rice, rye, spelt, and whole wheat flour
- Spices and herbs: black pepper, caraway seeds, cinnamon, coriander seeds, dill seed, parsley, oregano, poppy seeds, rosemary
- Others: leavening agents, such as baking powder; corn tortillas; calcium fortified juices, breads, and dairy products
- Breakfast: frittatas, granola, muffins, oatmeal, quick breads, scones
- Lunch: burritos, salads, sandwiches, soups, stuffed potatoes, wraps
- Dinner: pasta, pizza, grain dishes, seafood, stir-fries, tofu, vegetarian entrees
- Appetizers/Snacks: bruschetta, crostini, cheese, dips, nuts, popcorn
- Desserts: cakes, cookies, fresh fruits, ice cream, pies, puddings
- Drinks: milkshakes, smoothies, yogurt drinks
During the month of May, I'll write several posts for this event, sharing information about osteoporosis with you and providing a recipe with each post.
Please feel free to leave any questions or comments you may have in the comment box or email me directly at foodblogga [at] yahoo [dot] com. I'm looking forward to your bone-building, delicious submissions!

Bunny the Guinea pig came to us when her family decided to adopt an actual rabbit, sometime around 2010. She was the much-loved and snuggled River Birch class pet until her death last week while the children were on summer vacation.
Bunny didn't really like to move around very much. She was content to sit in her well-appointed enclosure and munch on carrots and timothy hay. The children were allowed to pet her, brush her, and feed her as long as they were gentle and respectful. She sat in a box on their laps in the green chair and they could pet her with one finger or two.
Bunny never required medical care, but she did get a few check-ups.
Bunny tolerated being brushed, especially if she had a sweet apple core to keep her occupied. She really loved spring and summer when she could get fresh lettuce from the school garden.
Bunny was peaceful, quiet, and - did I mention - tolerant? She only nibbled a couple of fingers but we are sure she was just testing to see if they were carrots.
Thank you for remembering Bunny with us, today. She is certainly going to be missed.

Pillow + Puppet Giveaway
And speaking of pillows ...
Jamie is such a big fan of Quilt Dad and my readers that he offered to let me host a giveaway! There will be two prizes this time (edited to add: both will go to one lucky winner!). The first is this adorable DwellStudio sparrow pillow -- an item that I knew all of you quilters and crafters (and lovers of anything bird-related!) would love.
With all of the pillow buzz happening around Flickr-land lately, I knew this would be a perfect prize.
The second is this awesome set of five DwellStudio finger puppets:
I think I need to snag a set of these myself for a nephew that we're expecting in December!
What do you think? Pretty nice prizes, huh? By the way, I also love AllModern's selection of Alessi houseware items -- I wish I had known about those kitchen tools when Mrs. Quilt Dad and I made our wedding registry! Look at this salt & pepper set! Super cool stuff. Great for bridal shower (or Christmas) gifts, I think ...
Some fine print ...
Unfortunately, due to shipping costs, this giveaway is only open to my U.S. readers. Sorry about that!
You know the drill: simply leave a comment on this post, and I'll select one random number as the winner of both prizes.
I'll leave the giveaway open until next Wednesday, October 21st.
Good luck!

{choke} ... unreal sale!
And yes, they do have the coveted rocketship fabric that I've featured here on my blog a few times.
Thanks to Flickr pal lharsma for the tip!
38 comments:
thanks, i just ordered me a couple of fat quarters!! (needed to help build up my extremely sad stash, or nonexistant stash!) thanks again!!ReplyDelete
Excellent. Thanks for the heads up!ReplyDelete
CHOKE IS RIGHT! I just got EQ6 for half price. Thank you for sharing. I also had to fill up my stash because how can you resist?ReplyDelete
Aaah John - just when I promised myself not to go on a fabric. Now I'm going to be tempted and preoccupied all day with thoughts of that cute polka dot Michael Miller fabric that I've been wanting - at 50% off. How to get my mind off of this ... I know - I'll go out and spend some time in the sunshine - oops can't do that - we haven't seen the sun in 5 days - have we - so I guess I'll have to place an order. I'll be stimulating the economy - right?ReplyDelete
Glad I could help!ReplyDelete
I was tempted by the rocket fabric, but wasn't sure since I couldn't see a bigger swatch.
I did get the Michael Miller dots that Lynn mentioned tho- well, one of the dots.
I'm so tempted to go back.
THANK YOU so much for sharing this!! Once I woke up after fainting, I ordered- boy, did I order!! ~ JennieReplyDelete
Hey now folks - save me some of those polka dots!ReplyDelete
I already saw the sale, but thanks for the tip on the rocketships! :)ReplyDelete
Ohmygosh, that was fun! Thank you for the heads-up!ReplyDelete
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!! Can't stop - got shopping to do!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks! I just ordered quite a few fat quarters to add to the stash. You just can't beat 50 % off.ReplyDelete
Bad John, BAD. Look what you made me do! I ordered fabric. ARRRGH.ReplyDelete
Oh well, it was only 8 FQs and a yard. But still, aren't you ashamed?
I did my part to stimulate the economy. Oh...and I did get some polka dots.
hey, are you getting a kickback on this? :)ReplyDelete
i broke down too, and had to buy some!! :) i don't know if i really needed 26 fq's, and a few kona cotton solids, but hey, they will look great in my stash!! :)ReplyDelete
thanks for letting us all know of these great deals!!
thanks for that John, I went shopping, stocked up on more prints charming, and a kona solids quilt kit. Just what I don't need ;)ReplyDelete
Thanks, John! I just filled up my cart--what an unbelievable sale!ReplyDelete
Maybe QuiltArts would hire you to promote any future sales--you got us all spending like crazy:)
Thanks, what a great site. I thought I might hyper-ventilate when I saw the sale!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 17, 2009 at 3:18 PM
oh dangerous... must... resist... why did I check your blog today?? watch me cry as I pass this off cuz I'm poor :(ReplyDelete
Awww man...I just bought a ton of fabric last night somewhere else. Of course that did not stop me from pickinng up a few things here. I got a few yards of things that NEVER go on sale. Thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete
I actually deleted the email from Quilt Arts in order to resist a sale. Then Jennie sent me an email about it and well, I caved. I got the rocket fabric too. Although, who knows if I will actually get it or not if everyone else ordered it as well! I hope you got your Joel Dewberry Aviary fabric!ReplyDelete
I'm about to drop $100 right now.ReplyDelete
It's a good thing I'll visit my parents this week...I cant afford groceries now!
THANK YOU for the heads up :D
And $73 later...ReplyDelete
Thanks for the heads up!
Yep- I spend more of Buggletquilt's money on fabric than I do of my own! And somehow she's still my friend...ReplyDelete
Mission accomplished ... fabric ordered. Now to figure out how to head off mailman.ReplyDelete

Thanks! I just ordered my Amy Butler 20-pack of Fat Quarters. Even with the cost of postage and package this is MUCH cheaper than the fabrics over here in the Netherlands. So thanks!ReplyDelete
(with utmost sarcasm...) Thanks a lot! I went there this afternoon and got a ton of stuff. Then just realized at these prices I could get a little more (sigh!)).ReplyDelete
I found Australian Aboriginal fabrics that I've admired and just couldn't buy -- till today. I have mass quantities headed my way. Appreciate the news about the sale. They should give you a commission! Love your work and enjoy your blog, Quilt Dad.ReplyDelete
You are evil - but I thank you for sharing! I was getting ready to go to bed, but always happy to buy Amy Butler on sale!! I was looking for some of these prints just today! I had to restrain myself....ReplyDelete
Thanks so much John. Hope I have a little money left for Lancaster PA Quilt show coming up in a couple weeks.ReplyDelete
THANKS, John!!! Your shamrocks RoCk!!! Shared the info with my Bee peeps. Such a wonderful way to celebrate St. Patty's Day. : ) Piecefully, PamReplyDelete

Did you get your order yet? I ordered but haven't received my order yet(or a shipping notice or anything).ReplyDelete

nm, I just noticed the message on the front page that they're behind a bit! Thanks for posting about that sale, I have a good amount of fabric coming to me!ReplyDelete

Did you get your order yet?!?! Their site is now down??!!!?? Did anyone get their order?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 31, 2009 at 8:22 AM
They sent me an email about 5 days later that my order shipped, then it was sent Priority and I got it in a couple of days.ReplyDelete
Anonymous, no, I have not yet received my shipment, but I have been reading that other bloggers have been getting their shipments slowly but surely. I am not alarmed yet -- I am sure they were SLAMMED when word of that sale got out. Of course, I have no affiliation with them and I hope I won't regret giving them a plug on my blog! Def. keep me posted as you hear more ...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 31, 2009 at 4:56 PM
I placed 2 orders - got a small portion of the first one so far. Many of my choices were marked 'sold out' on the form - one larger cut was sent in 2 pieces. Not sure I'll be using them again.ReplyDelete
