The Sadili camps kick started on high note on the 17/12/12. A lot of energy could be felt all round within the various displines from Tennis, Basketball, Soccer and Rugby.
|Fitness with Dan Limbago
Undaunted by the heavy rains that fell for the better part of Tuesday morning, athletes at Sadili couldn't miss an opportunity of taking advantage of training with visiting trainers, Mr. Dan Limbago who is the national manager of National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL), at the United States Tennis Association (USTA), assisted by Sadili Oval's own; Dr. Elizabeth Odera, (Director of Sadili Oval Sports Academy).
From the Basketball court, Mr. Nick-Caro O'Neil Golding who was an Instructor with MPAC Sports in the U.A.E Dubai (from Chicago, USA) had intense sessions with students who were only eager to fill their curiosity and skill on the game. Their determination written all over their faces was a clear indication of how well they would like to excel.
Speaking to Sadili Oval's Evelyne Guchura, Mr. Nick-Caro said that he had seen a lot of potential in the Kenyan youth training at Sadili Oval Sports Academy. 'We need to tap this talent at a young age for the fundamental basics so as to grow the talent in the game with time.' said Nick. He hopes that during his stay in Kenya, he is going to offer some innovative developments in sports especially starting from the primary schools level, while working together with various partners involved.

Saving Seaside Towns
Two communities on opposite coasts fight to preserve their waterfront properties.
Holbrook's Wharf
According to the Island Institute, all but roughly 10 miles of Maine's mainland coast is privately owned and subject to development. That's a sobering reality for the fishermen who depend on a commercial waterfront to give them access to the water. One of the state's few remaining working waterfronts, Holbrook's Wharf in Cundy's Harbor consists of a fishing wharf, general store, snack bar, and two apartment rentals. When owners decided to sell the ¾-acre parcel in 2005, a group of concerned citizens formed the Holbrook Community Foundation (HCF) to save the property and its fishing tradition. A hefty $1.25 million price tag didn't sway the HCF. Instead, it joined forces with The Trust for Public Land (TPL) and gathered monetary support through grants, loans, and donations. In December 2006, HCF was granted ownership. Since then, volunteers have run the foundation and organized contractors to restore Holbrook's Wharf and buildings, providing the threatened area with a self-sustaining economy.
For more about Holbrook's Wharf, visit holbrookcommunityfoundation.org.
Ellwood Mesa
With native grasslands, seasonal pools, and tall bluffs, this undeveloped stretch in Goleta, California, is a vital habitat for wildlife. Thousands of migrating monarch butterflies stop here each winter, and the area serves as a playground for travelers exploring the Gaviota Coast. But when Ellwood Mesa's landowner decided to sell, plans were set in motion to transform the 137-acre site into a residential community of luxury homes.
The City of Goleta, The Trust for Public Land, Friends of the Ellwood Coast, and the community entered an almost 30-year battle to save the land. After countless negotiations, donations, and grants, the parties agreed to rezone the development away from the shorefront, reduce its acreage, and designate a portion of the property as the city-owned Sperling Preserve. Today, visitors can explore the protected land and enjoy unobstructed views of the Pacific.
To donate to Sperling Preserve, visit fotec.org.

AT&T is offering unlimited 4G LTE mobile data for $20 per month
just in case we do find an AT&T dead spot someday
Come out to the "true" midwest , or further west and you WILL find plenty of DEAD spots for AT&T ... LOL
I'm ready to buy, so I'm interested in responses.
X3. Currently have unlimited 3G Verizon Mifi which works pretty well, but this would be a nice fill-in when AT&T is available
We're doing it the other way around now. We're using the $20 AT&T Mobley 4G/LTE unlimited plan full time, and only using our $5 Verizon 3G unlimited plan as a fill in if we hit a bad AT&T area, which hasn't happened yet. Or when we want an easy to carry portable service at the beach, etc.
Well ya Dutch that's what I meant. Why use 3G when 4G's available? Generally we've found fair-good AT&T coverage but on the fringe Verizon is definitely better. Here at our sticks house for example there is zero AT&T or Sprint coverage yet we routinely use our Verizon phones, and mifi data runs at about 1.2MBPS, not bad for 3G.
Come out to the "true" midwest , or further west and you WILL find plenty of DEAD spots for AT&T ... LOL

I have been waiting for months to write out that title. Today is finally the day! Can I get an AMEN?? LOL! I posted yesterday that I had finally found the GF Chocolate Chex & 3 of the 4 Betty Crocker Mixes at Kroger. I had to make one of the mixes and the Chocolate Chip Cookies it was. Jon wanted to help/watch. See if they looked any different than the ones I make from scratch.
Jon, ready for action (Please excuse the goofy look on his face. Why he can't smile is beyond me. Oh, wait, I almost forgot, he is 13):
First things first, get all your ingredients out. This mix is super simple. You only need to add 1 egg and 1 tsp of vanilla. It doesn't get much easier then this. I went ahead & told Jon not to get his expectations set too high. He is in love with my homemade, from scratch, chocolate chip cookies and I didn't want him to be disappointed with the cookies from the mix. I didn't think that the cookies would be bad, but just that they might not live up to the expectations of a 13 year old boy. 😉
Box & powdered mix:
Into the bowl go the wet ingredients:
Dough mixed together:
On the tray, ready to bake:
Coming out of the oven….oh, boy, these smell amazing:
All plated up, ready to chow down:
Jon asked me to make him a "monster cookie":
This thing was huge! It was on the same size plate as those 2 "normal" size cookies above. Jon treated this as his "pre-baseball game snack", along with a glass of milk. He made quick work of it:
Yes, he did indeed lick the plate. That's my boy!
Not only did Jon & I sample these cookies, but I fed them to 2, super-picky 6 & 7 year old non-gluten-free girls and they loved them! was super impressed with the taste & texture. They were freakily (is that a word?) close to my homemade, from scratch, chocolate chip cookies. I also fed one to my Dad when he came to pick up my sister, he also loved it and couldn't believe how good they were. The last, but not least, taste tester was my BFF, Amanda. She commented that she couldn't tell they were GF at all and they tasted just like "normal" chocolate chip cookies! Well done, Betty Crocker, well done. 🙂 I can only find one negative about this cookie mix and that is that the price is a little higher than I expected it to be at $4.49/box. It is cheaper than a lot of other GF mixes on the market, though, so really, not too bad. Also, Betty Crocker's mixes are available on Amazon.com and if you sign up for the "Subscribe & Save" program, they end up being $3.33/box (only come in cases of 6) and your shipping is free. The program is free to join and you choose the frequency and can change or cancel at any time.

You're in Control! Right?
Even if you've had a bumpy start, you can still tackle discipline problems
Any new job can test the nerves and teaching is no exception. The uneasiness Laura Mathurin felt as the first day of the 2006–07 school year drew closer was pointed, but not unusual. She was confident in her years of training, keen grasp of the content, and commitment to teaching. But she also recognized that her well-thought-out lesson plans could still quickly unravel at the hands of a few unruly students.
"I felt this great anxiety," she recalls. "I was otherwise well-prepared, but not knowing how my kids would treat me made me nervous."
She still had the scars from a rough student-teaching stint at a high school. Disrespect from students coupled with an overwhelming sense of helplessness had Mathurin second-guessing her ability. When it came time to choose her teaching assignment, she opted for a middle school, but her prior hazing made her wonder what these younger students had in store for her.
"Everything can go wrong if you're not prepared for this challenge," she says. "Students love to test your boundaries."
So how do you walk the line between being an authority figure and a helping hand? What do you do about the incessant whispering and snickering in the back of the classroom? Then there's the proverbial class clown, bent on disruption and the ridicule of his classmates and you. What to do about him and all the others who seem to make a mockery of classroom rules?
Teaching takes patience, practice, mentoring, and, yes, a few hard knocks along the way. Classroom management skills in particular only jell after a few years on the job, but the good news is that there are steps newer teachers can take to keep classroom management issues in check. Student discipline not only can be, but must be addressed—it's an important first step to winning the respect of students, building self-confidence, and thriving as a classroom teacher.
Same Old Challenges, New Intensity
"Kids have always misbehaved in class," says Janet Steward, "but young teachers entering the profession now face a slew of problems and trends that have only intensified over the years." Steward, a 25-year teaching veteran in Vermont, cites, among others, stricter academic standards, more abrasive cultural influences, and entrenched family problems.
As a result, says Steward, classroom management is a greater challenge today than it was when she started out.
Not helping matters is the lack of courses in most teacher education programs to help prospective educators develop the necessary skills to manage problems in the classroom. In addition, many school administrators, preoccupied with testing, testing, and more testing, haven't exactly gone the distance in establishing support networks for new teachers.
"Teacher prep hasn't focused on classroom management because years ago it really wasn't needed," Steward explains. "Now a new teacher can't learn it quickly enough."
Ann Swenson, a second-year teacher at Oviatt Elementary School in Norfolk, Iowa, would have welcomed such a program. She was hoping the administration would provide her with the necessary assistance to manage her classroom of unruly and rowdy students. A lot of new teachers, Swenson says, are left alone.
"I was at a loss during my first year," she recalls, "I really didn't know what to do and the administration didn't know how to help me. Many new teachers are hung out to dry."
So is the answer to brace yourself, keep your head down, take the hits, and lick your wounds over the summer? Not at all. It helps to have a thick skin, but there are options for a new teacher to keep those "dark days" as the exception rather than the rule.
For Laura Mathurin, it helped to establish rules in the first week on the job, by repeating over and over classroom procedures that required students to respect each other and the teacher.
"For a new teacher, the classroom can be a room of many little power struggles," Mathurin says. "Students are always pushing the boundaries." She says that establishing a clear voice of authority helped her students take her more seriously.
Establishing such clear boundaries is a key part of a green teacher's development of what Jim Burke calls an "adult professional persona." "New teachers must have a voice of greater presence, a different tone to help create a little distance between you and your students," says Burke, a California educator and author.
Students also have to know that you will honor their boundaries, says Mathurin, who won't, for example, yell at students and avoids reprimanding them in front of the class.
"Any confrontation with a student has to be taken outside the classroom," explains Mathurin. "You can't let the student know they are in control of the situation. Control the action yourself and the incident will be contained to that one student."
Overall, the number of confrontations with her students dropped significantly between Mathurin's first and second years of teaching.
Relationships, Relationships
Building a network of relationships—with students, parents, and your peers—says Janet Steward, can lay the groundwork for successful classroom management strategy.
"The teaching profession is a wonderful job," says Steward, "but, for a new teacher especially, it can also be very lonely." While some schools have sizeable ranks of rookie educators, newer teachers at smaller schools may find themselves a little more isolated.
Steward urges any new teacher to seek out mentoring relationships with more experienced colleagues, who can be invaluable sources of guidance, friendship, and support. Most states already have some form of mentoring program but only a handful have actually put aside significant money for this purpose. Still, seeking out a mentoring relationship, even a very casual one, can provide significant rewards for newer educators.
Erin Wiggins, a young teacher in Franklin County, Kentucky, had a mentor with more than 30 years of experience guide her through her first years in the classroom.
"It's great to be around experience," says Wiggins. "As a teacher you want to have your own style, but they've been doing it a while and they have advice that actually works, so listen."
New teachers should also take the time to open up lines of communication with parents. Economic and social pressures in many parts of the country have disrupted many families from partnering with teachers and schools to address the behavioral problems of their children.
Ultimately, however, successful classroom management depends upon the teacher's relationships with students. After her first year teaching, Ann Swenson decided to get to know each and every one of her students, a time-consuming and difficult task that she believes will pay enormous dividends over time.
"Asking about their lives, their families, and friends can help build trust and familiarity that will foster a more respectful and manageable classroom…and a more stable learning environment," explains Swenson.
Every classroom is home to many different types of personalities (you'll get to know some of them on the following page), and it will be necessary to tailor your approach to the class.
"Kids behave and learn differently," Swenson says. "Your classroom is full of different behaviors and each requires a different response. It's difficult, but get to know all your students to develop those individual relationships. It will be well worth any new teacher's time."

BOSTON — A day after four players were ejected in a benches-clearing incident that featured Kevin Gregg and David Ortiz throwing punches, the Orioles closer maintained that he had no regrets, while the Red Sox All-Star designated hitter apologized for his actions.
Ortiz charged Gregg in the bottom of the eighth inning after the Orioles pitcher yelled at him as he jogged to first base. Ortiz took umbrage to Gregg throwing three straight pitches inside, while Gregg didn't appreciate the fact that Ortiz had walked toward the mound a pitch earlier, and then swung at a 3-0 pitch in a seven-run game.
"I apologize to everyone for the situation, even to them, man," said Ortiz, who didn't talk to reporters after Friday's game. "I have a lot of friends on that ballclub. Even Gregg, though I don't even know him, but he doesn't seem like a crazy person out there. It's a situation that happened, and I'm not happy about it, and this is not what people come to see when they come to the [park]. Hopefully, we'll stay away from that and everybody can turn the page."
Ortiz also said there was "no question" that Gregg was throwing at him intentionally.
"He's a guy who I've always faced and he's never pitched in. He threw a whole bunch of pitches inside and I'm sure he was trying to hit me," Ortiz said. "After I hit the fly ball, he started screaming at me, you know what I'm saying? I'm not going to take that like a little [wuss], you know what I'm saying? Everyone's a grown man around here, and you've got to be aware of the situation."
After Friday's game, Gregg maintained that he wasn't throwing at Ortiz and that you have to pitch the slugger inside to get him out. He reiterated that message before tonight's game, while disputing the comments of Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett, who also alleged that Gregg was throwing at Ortiz.
"Josh has no idea," Gregg said. "If I wanted to hit him, I would have hit him. There have been times that I've hit guys on purpose, and I wasn't trying to hit [Ortiz] on purpose. I was trying to get him out, and you have to pitch in to get him out."
Gregg said he will fight any disciplinary action taken by the league, which is essentially a formality.
"What did I do wrong?," Gregg said. "To me, I don't think I did anything wrong. I pitched, I made my pitches. I got him out. I'd be interested to see if there was anybody out there that says that I did something wrong, because last time I checked, I played the game of baseball the way it should be played."
While Gregg didn't say it, several Orioles maintained that they were more ticked with former teammate Matt Albers than they were with Ortiz. Pitching in a five-run game, the Red Sox reliever struck out four of the six hitters that he faced and celebrated two of those strikeouts with a series of fist pumps. The Orioles also alleged that Albers shouted an expletive toward their dugout on his way off the mound.
Hendrickson finally gets call
There were plenty of times this season when veteran Mark Hendrickson wondered if his persistence and hard work would pay off and result in him being on a big league roster for the 10th straight season.
It took nearly the entire first half of the season, but the big left-hander finally got the call Saturday and had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk, where he was 2-4 with a 2.87 ERA in 19 appearances for the Tides.
"It's hard to put into words when you think about what I went through in spring training to handle all the emotional things that came with that," Hendrickson said. "It's pretty gratifying. I feel like a 22-year-old rookie right now. It's exciting. It's something that's probably the most meaningful moment in my career by far, just because of what I've been through, knowing how precious time in the big leagues really is. There was no guarantees I was coming back, whether it's here or somewhere else."
Hendrickson's promotion was necessary because starter Jake Arrieta had lasted only 4 1/3 innings in Thursday's series opener and Zach Britton managed to get just two outs on Friday, leaving the bullpen exposed.
Hendrickson, 37, pitched in 105 games with the Orioles over the previous two seasons, compiling a 4.74 ERA. He re-signed with the Orioles as a minor league free agent in January, but didn't make the club out of spring training. He opted to accept his minor league assignment to Norfolk, rather than finding a job elsewhere.
He admitted that when he struggled in his first couple of outings, he considered retirement.
"I was kind of lost just because I didn't have a chance to really process everything," Hendrickson said. "It was kind of a low point for me, but I dug deep, relied on my family and worked through it, and I've been pleased with how things have been."
Showalter proud of Jeter
Buck Showalter was Derek Jeter's first big league manager with the New York Yankees, and he fondly remembers the star shortstop's first Major League hit. That memory came rushing back to him Saturday, when Showalter learned Jeter had achieved his milestone 3,000th hit off the Tampa Bay Rays' David Price. That was part of a 5-for-5 day for Jeter, which included driving in the winning run with an eighth-inning single.
"Wow, that's special isn't it?" Showalter said. "It doesn't surprise me. Anything that he does doesn't surprise me. It's just typical. Derek's always been able to rise to the moment. To see his mom and dad there, that was cool. I'm glad I wasn't there on the other team. I've said it all year when people asked me about him. You just never underestimate his heart. The thing that I'm most proud of and I think everybody in baseball who has come in contact with Derek is the whole persona of him off the field and on the field, this guy has never embarrassed the Yankees or baseball, and you love to see good things come to people who deserve it."
Around the horn
Reliever Brad Bergesen, who was knocked out of Friday's game after getting hit in the right forearm by an Ortiz comebacker, had X-rays come back clean. He said he felt some soreness, but he threw before the game and pronounced himself available for one of the Orioles' final two games before the All-Star break. Ortiz, by the way, called Bergesen to see if he was OK … Second baseman Brian Roberts (concussion symptoms) played long toss, took flips and did some conditioning work Saturday. He has an appointment next week with concussion specialist Dr. Michael Collins to see if he can increase his baseball activity. … Infielder Cesar Izturis (elbow surgery) resumed baseball activities a couple of days after having oral surgery. … According to Elias, Britton is only the third Orioles starting pitcher to allow at least eight runs while not making it out of the first inning since the team moved to Baltimore in 1954. The other two were Hayden Penn (Sept. 23, 2006 against Oakland), and Victor Zambrano (Sept. 26, 2007 against Toronto).

Dubbed "the new Eva Mendes," Fernanda just finished a movie with Vivica A. Fox and she's shooting new movie now.
We caught up with Fernanda –here's our quickie with this rising (and hot) star.
Guy Speed: First up: Are you single, married or is it complicated?
Fernanda: Single and happy.
GS: Ooh, single huh? What's the dating scene like for you?
Fernanda: God!! In Los Angeles? It's the worst ever!
GS: Yeah, we can only imagine. Who is your celeb crush?
Fernanda: Ryan Gosling.
GP: Ok, so for the 99% of men that don't look like Ryan Gosling, how does a guy a girl like you?
Fernanda: Mmm… be original, adventurous, artsy, intelligent—and a sexy smile.
GP: Hollywood seems to be in love with the Latina lady recently, which is fine with us. How does that make you feel? Are you proud and have you noticed it too?
Fernanda: Yes I do! I have never felt ashamed of where I am from and also Hollywood is changing too, bringing more Latin spice to the screen and we love that. It was about time.
GS: We hear your new movie "Mission Park" will be out in 2012. Can you tell us a little about that?
Fernanda: Mission Park is a story of four friends that grow up together and then destiny breaks them apart… but then they reunite when they are older and things have changed. It's kind of like 'Casino' meets 'Scarface' and my character Gina, she is stuck in a love triangle between the friends. She is a strong woman with heart but suffered a lot when she was young—she has a very twisted head.
GS: Since this is the season, we have to ask, were you naughty or nice this year?
Fernanda: Ha ha ha– a little bit of both I will say!

2017 Nationals
Past Events
In 1995 when Sydney won the bid for the 2000 Olympic Games Roger Braham OAM, of Pony Club New South Wales, wanted to offer an opportunity for Pony Club riders to strive for an Olympic dream.
He dreamt of running a National event, hoping that some of the participants may well be representing Australia at the Olympic Games. His dream became a reality with an event named "Towards 2000" held at Charles Sturt University Wagga Wagga.
Subsequent Championships have not only fostered competition at the highest level but also fellowship and lasting friendships Australia wide. The Championship now hosts five disciplines Dressage, Showjumping, Eventing, Mounted Games and Tetrathlon.
The National Championships are held every two years generally during the September school holidays. Victorian riding members wishing to compete for Victoria at this event must submit an Expression of Interest. Expressions of Interest are generally called for in January/February of the year of competition.

Cohen, Stanley
Cohen, Stanley, 1922–, American biochemist, b. New York City, Ph.D. Univ. of Michigan, 1948. Cohen did his most important work at Washington Univ. with Rita Levi-Montalcini in the 1950s. Studying mouse tumors implanted in chicken embryos, the pair isolated a nerve growth factor, the first of many cell growth factors found in animals; some of these were also first described by Cohen and by Levi-Montalcini. Their discovery of nerve growth factor radically changed the study of cell growth and development. For this discovery Levi-Montalcini and Cohen were awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. In 1959 Cohen moved to Vanderbilt Univ., where he became a professor.

A Warm Welcome form Claudia & her sisters, your hostesses
My sisters and I have been managing the B&B for over 15 years now. We truly enjoy meeting the different people who arrive from all of their world and making them feel at home while they are far away from theirs. We had an excellent teacher (our Grandmother) and an extremely willing taste tester (our Father) so are all very good cooks. Our mother taught us the art of making people feel warm and welcome. These are all skills that we use while caring for our place in what we consider to be, one of the most interesting places, filled with history, in all of Tuscany.

A lot of speculation --and the underlying assumption-- is that Deathwing will be the killable end boss in Cataclysm. End boss? Likely. Killable? I'm not so sure.
In Wrath, we got the chance to destroy one of the Dragon Aspects, Malygos. He wasn't even the end boss in the expansion, just the end of one of the story chains in Wrath. From this, we can go in two directions: either Deathwing is more powerful than Malygos ever was, or Malygos isn't truly dead. (A third possibility is that Malygos got nerfed by Blizz in a patch release and we caught him on a good day, but you never know.)
If Deathwing is truly more powerful than Malygos --and by extension, the other Dragon Aspects-- then there's very little stopping him from killing Ysera and Alexstrasza. Also, if he is truly powerful enough to break the world, perhaps the best we can hope for is to beat him back and shut him out of Azeroth once more.
Now, if Deathwing is equivalent in power to Malygos, and his retreat from the other (pissed off) Dragon Aspects in the Second War implies as much, then the downing of Malygos (even with the Life Binder's aid) might not have been the end of him. It won't be the first time that someone once thought dead makes a reappearance in a Fantasy environment. ("What, Sauron is back again? Just how many lives does this guy have, anyway?")
Another possibility is that Deathwing isn't the true last end boss in Cataclysm, but someone --or something-- else. Possibilities abound: another Old God or two, Azshara, Elemental Lords, or maybe even Sargeras.

Newmarket, NH: Rocky's Famous Burgers
Today's reader recommendation comes from Michael T, aka Pavlov on AHT/Serious Eats, who came to us after noticing our lack of New Hampshire burger coverage. Thanks, Michael! If anyone else wants to share some burger intel, here's how to do it. —The Mgmt.
Rocky's Famous Burgers
171 Main St., Newmarket NH 03857 (map); 603-292-3393; rockysfamousburgers.com
Cooking Method: Char-grilled
Price: 1/4-pound Rocky Jr., $2.99; 1-pound double patty "London", $8.99; fries, $1.99 (small), $2.99 (large); deep fried Oreos, 1 for $0.69, 3 for $1.79
"Rocky's Famous Burgers, what's so famous about them?!" I asked myself this every time I drove by the place. About three weeks ago, stumped for a place to get a quick bite, I finally relented.
Stepping into the cozy restaurant, I was surprised to find the place was just about full. Even more full was the menu board, listing everything from the simple Rocky Jr. Burger, to the Daredevil. For the Daredevil, you order the meat and they add whatever toppings they want. Check out their website menu to see the available extras, and you'll see that this may be a daredevil decision indeed. The staff was helpful and friendly without being overbearing. The walls are decorated with pictures of all their customers'...dogs? "You get a free small fry when you bring in a picture of your dog to add to our Dogwall," I was told.
I then saw something that intrigued me: the Oktoberfest, a seasonal burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, bacon, and spicy brown mustard on a pretzel bun...a pretzel bun? I gotta have this! Between the choice of an 8-ounce 80/20 blend all black Angus beef, bison burger ($1 extra), chicken breast, or house made black bean veggie burger, I went for the beef. The choices were "pink" or "not pink"—I went for pink. Oh, and a large fry.
The burger was grilled to perfection—well, as perfect as "pink" can be—and seasoned equally well. The pretzel bun was not toasted, but as it is a pretzel (of sorts) it had a nice brown top and a good sprinkling of pretzel salt. The cheese was well melted and had just enough spicy mustard added to go nicely with the sauerkraut. The burger was super juicy with crunchy charred bits that played nicely with the bacon and sauerkraut, the lettuce and tomato added a nice crisp finish. Its ratio of burger to bun was excellent, so upon finishing there is just enough bun left to hold the last messy dripping bite together without having to grab for the 20th 100% post consumer product recycled paper napkin.
The one slight downer with the whole burger was the thinness of the bacon. I like a slab bacon preferably smoked with fruit wood—the owners like the way you can pile the thin bacon. I have tried the Mule, which is lettuce, tomato, onion, blue cheese, and bacon, on another visit, and oddly the bacon seemed to work on that one so...meh, s'alright.
What's New On Serious Eats
Fries with that? Hells yeah! The fries are of the shoestring variety and hand cut daily by virgins. Ok, I made up the virgins part, but they are hand-cut and blanched before being cooked to order. Nicely browned with little bits of crunchy smaller fry pieces seasoned with salt and peppery. The only problem I had with the fries was that I had no idea ordering a large would deplete the entire east coast of russet potatoes. The small is plenty. Besides, you should save room for the deep fried Oreos.
Owners Jillian Kalosky and Brian Donner have been open almost 2 years. Jillian is a former vegetarian (welcome back Jillian!) and Brian is a self confessed burger lover from way back, citing his favorite burger as Hodad's double bacon cheese burger (lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, mustard, mayo, ketchup) in San Diego.
Finally, who's Rocky? He's Brian and Jillian's dog, a four-year-old Lab mix who's featured on the sign. Is he Famous?!...you bet your a$$ he is! —Pavlov

re: fresh rosemary
It should be okay to add the fresh rosemary at the beginning of the baking. Since it's covered for the first part, the rosemary will just steam and add a lot of fragrance. I don't think it will burn during the uncovered baking portion - it may dry out, which should be okay.

Post subject: Another idea
We like taking fresh rosemary and garlic and putting it in a container with olive oil for a few days. The oil can be used for anything, but is especially good on roasted potatoes. I'll use a garlic press and separate the rosemary from the stem if I know I'm making potatoes, or I'll simply crush the garlic with the flat of a knife and use the whole sprig of rosemary so that it is removable. Then you can spread a little oil on a slice of olive or german rye bread, top with some grated cheese and toast till the cheese is melted. Amazing.

Post subject: another option with rosemary (spring herb pesto)
3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 pounds red-skinned new potatoes, halved lengthwise
Blend parsley, chives, rosemary, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon peel, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in processor to coarse puree. (Pesto can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss potatoes and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in large bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes, cut side down, on rimmed baking sheet. Roast until potatoes are golden brown and tender, about 40 minutes. Using spatula, transfer potatoes to large bowl. Add pesto and toss to coat. Serve.

Post subject: Salt n' Pepper
From personal experience, it is best to apply the salt and pepper before the oil, as the oil prevents the salt to be absorbed by the potatoes, thus needing more salt to get the point.

Potatoes are good with onions too. I cut 2 onions into chunks about the same size as the potato chunks and prepped and cooked them in the same way. Garlic might be overkill with the onions in there, but they're good with rosemary.

Post subject: sticking problem & 3 different baked potato recipes
I have 2 main methods for baked potato and 1 stove top that I will share.
First, one trick to know if you have problems with them sticking to the pan. Initially they will stick but once they have crisped up enough they automatically release and turning is foolproof. If you try to turn them too early, you will find the crisp side will separate from the rest.... be patient.... This also applies if you are pan dry-frying (stove top with barely any oil..... see very healthy recipe below).
Recipe #1:
If you like crisp (on the outside) baked potatoes, then you should dry them with a cloth before baking and after you have roughed up the edges.
After peeling, I run the tines of a fork over the top (rounded edge of half a potato) for a crispy and fancy attractive top (can be slightly dusted with flour also if you want).
Another surface treatment is to make parallel (1cm) 1/4 inch (or deeper) deep cuts, about 1/16-1/8 inch apart across the rounded edge. Remember to dry the potatoes with a cloth after this is done.
Then add salt, pepper and any herbs or spices you like then the oil. Or put everything in a plastic bag and shake so that all surfaces are coated. Bake in hot over (500 degrees is fine) for as long as necessary until nice and brown. Turn when the bottom has released, or if top is sufficiently coated with oil (drying first guarantees this) then there is no need to turn.... both top & bottom will be crisp. I always cook with lots of whole onions & other mixed baking vegetables (pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots) so that the flavours combine. If I want to add garlic to the mix then I wash whole bulbs of garlic, slice the top off, so that most of the clove tops are exposed, drizzle with salt, pepper & oil and lay a small piece of foil over each bulb.... this makes sure that the garlic does not burn (nothing worse than burnt garlic!).
The baking can take a couple of hours. Turn the temperature down if it seems to be burning.... not likely though in the center of the oven. Of course it tastes much better if they are cooked in the same pan as the meat. Just add them to the pan at the same time as the meat..... If you want to cover everything with foil at the beginning then that is ok too.... if you want to cook at a lower temperature, it will just take longer to cook.
If the meat has a fairly quick cooking time, then of course you can par-boil the potatoes or cook (covered) in a microwave before putting in oven, but remember that you must have a dry surface (before adding oil) to get a very crisp potato. This type of baked potato is much crisper (still fluffy and soft on inside) than is typically served in the USA.... I now live in the USA and find that I am always being asked for this recipe.
The other recipe is very different and unbelievably easy and surprising mellow in flavour.
Recipe #2:
For 4 people, I take about 1/2 cup (maybe 20 cloves?) of garlic and a least a half cup of lemon juice (maybe 3/4 cup), salt pepper, & herbs of you want (but certainly not necessary), put in a blender until smooth. You could safely double this if you want!
Take whole baby potatoes, or chopped up regular baking potatoes, wedges of onions or whole small onions, and combine with garlic/lemon mixture. Put in same pan as the Meat (whole chicken breasts, chicken thighs, whole pork loin etc.). Cook covered or uncovered until meat has cooked. Take meat out and continue cooking vegetables until caramelized. Baste as often as necessary. The flavours of this are incredibly complex and it does not taste heavily of either garlic or lemon. I'm sure you could even be more generous with the garlic and lemon without any problem. It tastes like the finest French cooking!
Recipe #3:
This recipe is very different but a healthy and delicious way to get your vegetables. It is basically a combination of 2 vegetables cooked separately and then combined. The best combinations are: potato/eggplant, potato/cauliflower, potato/okra, and potato/brussel sprouts. I want to add here that I don't really enjoy any of these vegetables cooked any other way but love them prepared this way... I find others say the same thing.
You need 2 large flat bottom fry-pans. Add very little oil to each pan (maybe 1 tablespoon) and make sure that it barely coats the bottom of the pan.
In one pan you add COOKED chopped up potatoes (bite sized pieces), in the other pan you add the other vegetable.... salt and pepper both to taste. Cover this second pan with a glass lid (so you can see what is going on without lifting the lid unnecessarily.... you need the natural moisture in the vegetable to be retained). Steam this vegetable to start it's cooking. When this vegetable is just about cooked through, then remove the lid and brown it a little. Toss/turn as necessary. Note: If you prepare using eggplant, don't worry if it gets mushy. It blends well with the potato as mush anyway! If you are preparing okra, then don't cover, just cook both sides with the lid off till brown... the sticky stiff will disappear as it browns.
The potato will initially stick to the pan but when it has started to crisp up it will release automatically (especially on an aluminum or non-stick pan) allowing you to turn it as often as necessary to crisp on all sides. (As an aside note, if you are pan-frying pot-stickers/dumplings the same principal applies.)
Once both vegetables are cooked, add them together in the larger pan and sprinkle with your favourite herb/curry-powder/spice blend and toss together.... maybe a little extra salt/pepper. Our favourite spice for this is something called Sambar powder (777 brand is good) from the Indian section of the grocery store. Cover for a few minutes on low heat for the flavours of the herb/spices/browning of the vegetables to blossom and to merge.
This is a great dish to prepare as a healthy snack or as a side dish. It is the sort of dish that is great for preparing when you are on your own or for kids.... they love it.... I think they don't think of it as vegetables because it is not served the way they are used to seeing vegetables.... so simple and healthy. Best when eaten fresh from the stove..... people just seem to want to pick at it in our house. I find I rarely serve it as part of a meal.

Post subject: potatoes...
I liked the rosemary+ garlic option for the potatoes. Thanks!
I also have another way of doing the potatoes. Cut them in half; do the same with apples and add them together to a roasted chicken (duck/goose) to the oven (375F). Then add a little water, crushed/minced garlic, marjoram and salt/pepper to taste.
Baste it once every 30 minutes or so...

Post subject: Chicken added to the mix
Try it with the chicken! It is only a little more work and the roasted meat element is nice. I tried it last night with an approximately 3.7 lb. fresh chicken (and fresh is a whole different bird than brand names). I covered it for about 20 minutes at 450 F. and then kept it open at 425 F. for about another 50-60 minutes. Until the legs were loose. I wouldn't have left it any longer as fresh chicken is never "basted" or injected with anything that helps it stay juicy. You just have to know when to take it out. Also I stuffed it with some fresh herbs and a quartered yellow onion, which makes it cook a little slower. Anyway, I found my veges got done way before the chicken; which was fine really, because I used the "put the garlic cloves in whole and let them roast in their skin" technique, so I still had to mush them out and make my paste, which I had to re-toss with the veges (I added a couple carrots too for color). Note, I had significant shrinkage on the root veges, so I would suggest using twice as many as you think you will want. Don't worry, you'll eat them all.
Big wrote:
Try a 500 degree oven for 15 minutes, then turn the potatoes, then 15 minutes more. Crisp outside, soft inside.
Everybody freaks when you roast at 500, but it makes a difference.
Even better, get a fresh whole chicken. Add two tablespoons of butter to the cavity, a few lemon wedges and salt and pepper. Do your potatoes and arrange around the chicken in a roasting pan (preferably with two inch high sides). Add 6 cloves of garlic, unpeeled.
Roast at 500 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, use a spoon or spatula to move the chicken around to prevent sticking. Turn the potatoes.
Roast for another 35-45 minutes at 500, turning the potatoes every 15 mintues.
The potatoes roast in the rendered chicken fat. Not diet food, but I've never had a potato go uneaten.

Marin Lesser and Greater
- Peter robbed; Paul under investigation: Sonoma granted SMART $6.6 million of $9 million in bike/ped funding. The funds, from a federal congestion mitigation grant, will be used to purchase an additional train for the extended IOS. Sonoma bike activists are
angry, to say the leastunhappy, understanding, and moving forward. (Systemic Failure, SCBC)
- Tilting at windmills: Wind turbines could be allowed in West Marin under the latest revisions to the Local Coastal Plan. Environmentalists oppose the measure, saying it would industrialize the rural region. (Pt. Reyes Light)
- Tackling homelessness in San Rafael: Through mental health services and jobs, San Rafael is doing more to fight homelessness than just crack down on nuisance behavior. Here's hoping it does good. (IJ)
- Another study coming down the track: Transit feasibility in the Fairfax-San Rafael corridor is on its way yet again. TAM and MTC will examine whether BRT, rapid bus, or a full-fledged streetcar line would be best to serve the 5-mile strip. (Pacific Sun)
- RHNA is almost as fickle as thought: Despite 43 years of affordable housing mandates, California remains woefully short on affordable housing. ABAG has tried to adjust to the demands of cities, but such a scattershot approach doesn't make up for the state process's shortcomings. (Bohemian via Scott Alonso)
- Get your son on a bike: Research from the UK shows that it's far safer for young men to ride a bike than to drive. Given that driving is the number one cause of death among teenagers, perhaps those Every 11 Minutes campaigns could be supplemented by some good old-fashioned bike lessons. (Red Orbit, CDC)
- Hybrids really aren't so green: Hybrids, at least if you look at their entire life-cycle, really aren't as green as their reputation. The batteries are difficult to dispose of; the mileage really isn't so great; and their battery will only last about 80,000 miles, meaning one will need to buy a new vehicle far sooner than otherwise. Perhaps Marin needs a new family car, like a bike. (Streetsblog)
- Do the council shuffle: San Anselmo picks Kay Coleman for mayor. (Patch) … There's still time to apply for San Rafael City Council. (IJ)
- And…: Despite the threat of financial receivership, Detroit's downtown is positively booming. (NY Times) … Local transit has published their holiday schedule. (GGT) … San Rafael Airport developer compares their sports complex project to Grady Ranch. (IJ) … The libertarian take on land use planning. (United Liberty)
The Toll
At least five people, and possibly a sixth, were injured this week.
- Yes, a hit and run is indeed a felony: Jared Whisman-Pryor, who prosecutors say hit and seriously injured bicyclist William Schilling, has turned himself in to Rohnert Park Police. As it turns out, he will be charged for felony hit-and-run. (PD)
- Obituary for mother killed last week: Barbara Rothwell accidentally killed herself in a car crash last week near Bolinas. The Point Reyes Light paints a portrait of her life cut short. She was 48.
- Marin Injuries: A driver hit a woman while she was crossing the street in Novato, sending her to the hospital. (IJ) … A driver seriously injured himself by crashing into a power pole in Terra Linda. (Patch)
- Sonoma Injuries: Ben Rhoades seriously injured himself and another driver by driving under the influence and colliding head-on with the other driver near Cotati. (Patch) … A driver rolled their minivan in Santa Rosa on Tuesday, though whether they injured themselves wasn't immediately reported. (PD) … An 87-year-old driver seriously injured Wilfred Lewis, who was crossing the street in Santa Rosa. The driver said he never saw Lewis. (PD)
