Shrimp Pasta with Broccoli Pesto + Cuisinart Food Processor GIVEAWAY
Do you all sing in the kitchen?
Um, I definitely do. Constantly. (I mean, I named this blog after a song, didn't I??)
Most of the time I'm jamming out to whatever is on Spotify. Or watching Hulu and shedding a few tears to the Parenthood soundtrack (best tv soundtrack ever), or crossing my fingers to hear a Gunnar and Scarlett duet on Nashville (or the ridiculously talented Stella sisters), or feeling All The Feelings with those magical first few notes to the Friday Night Lights theme song (because who doesn't want to hang out in the kitchen with Tim Riggins).
But when I was choppin' broccoli over the weekend for this shrimp pasta with broccoli pesto, I have to confess…
…it was all Dana Carvey in my kitchen, all the way.
Really, let's be honest, choppin' broccoli will always = Dana. Just like banana pancakes = Jack Johnson. And peaches = The Presidents Who Have Way Too Long Of A Name. And cheeseburgers = Jimmy Buffet. (Time for me to write my ode to egg drop soup…) Today, though, I have a new use for choppin' broccoli that I think would make Dana proud. Broccoli pesto.
I was craving pesto this weekend, but basil season is over here and I was wanting to try something new. So I peeked at my friend Kathryne's October Produce Guide and was reminded that these miniature green trees (as I like to think of them) are in season. And then the idea occurred to me — why not toss it into a food processor and make a broccoli pesto?! I had recently been challenged by my friends at EatShrimp to come up with a new shrimp pasta recipe. So since one of my all-time favorite entrees to make is shrimp pasta with pesto (like my Blackened Shrimp with Asparagus-Spinach Pesto recipe), I thought this might be a perfect way to experiment with broccoli pesto.
They had also recently sent me a new Cuisinart Elemental 8-Cup Food Processor to test out before I gave one away on the blog, and I'm happy to say that it pesto-ed the heck out of this broccoli like a charm. I decided to go somewhat classic with the pesto ingredients, adding in fresh broccoli (that I had pre-cooked for about 3 minutes), garlic, toasted pine nuts, freshly-grated Parmesan, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
And then I pureed it into a slightly-chunky pesto. You can make yours completely smooth if you want, but I liked having it just a little chunky in honor of all that broccoli.
Then I tossed it with some simple sauteed shrimp, whole wheat pasta, and then sprinkled on some crushed red pepper, extra pine nuts and parmesan.
And a delicious, seasonal, and very green dinner was served. I had a few friends over for a little pasta party to sample the recipe and get their honest thoughts on the broccoli pesto. And they were big fans! Granted, they all liked broccoli. And this pesto definitely tastes like broccoli. So if you're trying to sneak it past some picky eating kids, there's a good chance they will spy with their little eyes that there is some floret-action happening. But if you're a broccoli-"appreciater" or a broccoli-mega-fan, I'm pretty sure you will completely enjoy this one. The lemon and Parmesan really help to balance and bring out the flavor of the broccoli, and the result is a delicious and hearty pesto that are packed with all of the good-for-you-ness of broccoli. And I must say, the shrimp on top absolutely make the meal. I sprinkled my shrimp with a little extra Parmesan before serving, but frankly I loved how their simple flavor came through just seasoned with salt and pepper in this recipe. The pesto is already full of some strong and complex flavors, so I thought the pairing was perfect.
If you're looking for more great recipes to make with shrimp, pop over and visit the Eat Shrimp on their website, Facebook, and Pinterest where they are sharing even more recipes and prizes this month for shrimp and pasta parties. And also be sure to also scroll below to enter our sweet giveaway below for a chance to win a new Cuisinart food processor of your own. So tap into your inner Dana Carvey and get to choppin' some broccoli, friends!
Shrimp Pasta with Broccoli Pesto
This shrimp pasta recipe is simple to make, and tossed with the most delicious broccoli pesto recipe!
Pasta Ingredients:
- 1 lb. (16 oz.) dried pasta (I used DeLallo whole wheat)
- salt and pepper
- 1 lb. jumbo raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- optional toppings: crushed red pepper flakes, extra freshly-grated Parmesan, extra pine nuts
- broccoli pesto (see ingredients below)
Broccoli Pesto Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 bunch or 1 pound)
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
To Make The Pasta:
Cook the pasta in a large pot of generously-salted boiling water al dente according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, season the shrimp on both sides with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and saute for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink and no longer translucent. Turn off the heat, and transfer shrimp to a separate plate and set aside.
When the pasta is al dente, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and then drain the pasta. Return the pasta either to the stockpot where it was cooked, or to the saute pan (with the stove heat turned off). Add the pesto to the pasta, and toss until evenly coated, adding in a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to thin the pesto. Then stir in the shrimp and pine nuts, and serve immediately sprinkled with optional toppings if desired.
To Make The Pesto:
Fill a separate large saucepan or stockpot with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon and transfer to the bowl of the food processor fitted with the blade attachment..
Add the garlic, Parmesan, pine nuts, lemon juice and salt to the food processor, and process until combined. Then, with the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until it is incorporated. As mentioned above, if the pesto seems too thick, you can add in a bit of pasta water to thin it out once the pesto is tossed with the pasta.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

Llodra squelches talk of higher office
"America's First Selectman" doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "America's Mayor."
Pat Llodra, hailed for her leadership of Newtown following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, won't be pulling a Rudy Giuliani.
Addressing a published report by Hearst Connecticut Newspapers that she is on the short list of dream candidates for Congress or lieutenant governor in state and national GOP circles, the Republican reaffirmed her commitment to Newtown .
"I can clearly say that it's not on my radar right now," Llodra told Hearst by phone Wednesday afternoon.
Llodra, 70, announced in May that she will seek a third two-year term as Newtown's chief elected official this November.
The recipient of the woman's leadership award at the state GOP's annual fundraising dinner in May, Llodra confirmed that she has been recruited to run for higher office.
"I've had some conversations over the last couple of months with folks that have made some gentle inquiries," she said.
"I'm really very honored that my name would even come up as someone who would have the characteristics to serve at that level."
Llodra spoke of unfinished business in Newtown, highlighted by the task of building a new school on the site where 20 children and six educators were slain on Dec. 14.
Llodra left the door slightly ajar to a change of plans.
"In the last decade, I've learned never to eliminate any options for the future," she said.
Dems tap former mayor
Name the youngest woman elected mayor in Connecticut. Hint: She once donated a kidney to a constituent she befriended on Facebook.
The answer is April Capone, who is the new political director of the Connecticut Democrats.
The 38-year-old former two-term mayor of East Haven left her post as intergovernmental coordinator at the state Office of Policy & Management on June 17 for the party gig.
Capone landed at the OPM after losing her 2011 bid for a third term as mayor by 31 votes to Republican Joseph Maturo Jr., whom she defeated by 25 votes in the 2007 election.
As political director for the Democrats, who hold every statewide office, all five congressional districts, each of the two U.S. Senate seats and overwhelming majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly, Capone will be responsible for recruiting candidates and coordinating with local town committees.
McKinney's new domain: governor
State Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, seems to have tipped his hand that he will run for governor in 2014.
The same day that House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero of Norwalk announced he would not run for governor because of family considerations, the domain registry service GoDaddy.com shows that the website McKinneyforConnecticut.com was snatched up June 27 by a McKinney confidante.
GoDaddy.com lists the registrant as Jack Shannon, who serves as chief of staff for the Senate Republicans.
The domain name expires June 27, 2015.

Short version: Wanted tries oh so hard to be the next Matrix, but despite insane amounts of action, falls short.
Screen Rant's Wanted review
No doubt I'll be taking a lot of heat for this since it seems that across the board, Wanted reviews are glowing and effusive in praise. I've seen many comments to the effect of "it was trash, but I loved it anyway." While I certainly wouldn't call it trash, it also failed to win me over.
Now don't get me wrong... Pardon the pun, but going in I really wanted to love this movie. I didn't go in with any thoughts that it would be high art or deep drama - just a cool popcorn flick. But even in popcorn action movies I can only suspend my disbelief so much.
There are minor spoilers related to the very first scene in the film below.
The film opens with a very cool sequence, which had me quite excited to see the rest of the film - an assassin arrives at an office about 20 or so stories high, and commences to have a gunfight with some other guys on the rooftop of a building across the street. It's a really cool scene which demonstrates the assassin's proficiency as he starts taking them out one by one. Suddenly they get the upper hand and he heads back down the hall and launches himself forward apparently at superhuman speed. From there we go from cool to ridiculous.
This is the scene where he breaks through a plate glass window face-first as seen in the trailer, and this is where I started scratching my head - instead of falling, he continues to fly forward, apparently on momentum. Then while still moving forward with no drop in elevation, starts shooting at his enemies. Really, I thought this was going to be some sacrificial scene as he eventually starts to drop, especially from the reverse force of firing his guns... but no. He seems to drop and them magically appears on the rooftop behind the baddies.
This left me wondering: Am I watching a superhero movie or a movie about incredibly ninja-level skilled assassins? This was a question that was never fully answered, and the fact that Wanted takes place in the real word made much of what happens in the movie hard to swallow.
From there we meet anxiety-ridden, cubicle-dwelling Wesley Gibson (played by James McAvoy). His life is in a rut - he's in a dead end job, broke, has a foul-mouthed, overweight harpy for a boss, and his best friend is having sex with his girlfriend. How such a loser managed to score such a good looking girlfriend is beyond me. Anyway he runs into "Fox" (Angelina Jolie) at a mini-mart, where she tells him his father just died and was a master assassin, right before saving his life from another assassin who seems to be out to get Wesley.

The military is hoping the referendum, and a planned general election in 2010, can deflect renewed international pressure to open talks with Burma's opposition parties after soldiers used guns last September to quash a popular uprising.
Opposition groups, however, say the referendum is a sham to avoid meaningful dialogue. The cyclone prompted the junta to push the referendum date to May 24 in 47 affected towns, which include about one third of the population.
Still, holding the vote elsewhere in the country after one of the worst natural disasters in decades is prompting strong criticism.
"People are trying to find food and water, and the last thing on their mind is politics," says Aung Naing Oo, a Burmese political analyst based in Thailand. "In those areas affected by the cyclone, nobody is talking about the referendum. They are wondering when aid will arrive."
Junta still impeding aid
The military-ruled government's foot-dragging in providing relief and opening the door to outside aid workers may stem from fear that foreigners might observe the first vote of any kind in the country since Aung San Suu Kyi, who is under house arrest in Burma, led her NLD to a sweeping election victory 18 years ago.
"This is a major crisis and Burma's military is not providing assistance," says Soe Aung, an NLD member elected in 1990 who is part of Burma's exile government. "We need international help. In this situation it's totally unacceptable to have a referendum. It should be postponed and the international community should be allowed in to help the people who are dying."
Three Red Cross aid flights carrying shelter kits and other urgent supplies landed in Myanmar Friday without incident. But the junta seized two planeloads of aid, including 38 tons of high-energy biscuits, sent by the United Nations, prompting the UN to suspend its efforts. The UN later said that it would resume flights, sending in two more planeloads of supplies.
The UN estimates that the storm affected about a million people, and the death toll could rise dramatically in the next few weeks due to disease and the lack of fresh water, food, shelter, and medical facilities. The WFP has distributed 90 tons of rice to people in Rangoon and surrounding areas, and seven tons of high-energy biscuits.
This is "nothing when you are talking about a million people in need," says Erika Joergensen, the WFP's deputy regional director for Asia. "All aid workers are having trouble obtaining visas. It's going very slow."
The UN and Red Cross have sent out about 15 assessment teams into the region that will report back in the next few days. The WFP has already issued an emergency appeal for $54 million, which would feed 630,000 people for six months, although that number could change when new information becomes available.
The International Organization for Migration says it is asking for $8 million. The UN refugee agency says it needs $6 million to fund the immediate shelter and household needs of 250,000 people.
Aid pledges grow
As of Thursday, the UN had tallied donations of $25 million from 28 nations, the European Union, and charities. An additional $25 million has been pledged by donors.
That amount rose Friday, when Japan pledged $10 million in aid, through the UN. France announced that it was sending a navy ship loaded with 1,500 tons of humanitarian aid to Burma. The Gates Foundation also donated $3 million via aid agencies Mercy Corps, Worldvision, and CARE, and will provide software to help reunite family members separated in the cyclone, founder Bill Gates said.
A British travel company donated a luxury cruise liner to transport relief and 25,000 shoes were sent by a US-based international aid group, Soles4Souls, though the shipment was not yet allowed into the country.
The junta, said in a statement that it was grateful for outside assistance, which has included 11 chartered planes of supplies, but that the best way to help was to offer aid rather than personnel. The government itself was capable of delivering aid to affected areas, it asserted.
A flight from Qatar was turned back after landing in Rangoon Thursday because a search-and-rescue team and media members were on board who did not have clearance to enter the country. But the junta did agree to allow one American cargo plane to bring in supplies, though it continued to bar any foreign workers from coming in to distribute them.
Some analysts suspect that the military will start to allow in more aid workers in after Saturday's vote. The UN and a growing number of countries have urged the junta to open its borders – even China, a key Burma ally that says it does not like to comment on the "internal affairs" of other countries, has said it hopes Burma "will cooperate with the international community."
Yet the international community remains deeply divided on Burma. The US, Europe, Canada, and Australia have been largely uniform in calling for a more inclusive democratization process, while countries vying for Burma's rich natural gas resources – China, Russia, India, and Thailand, to name a few – have been much more subdued. Burma's neighbors are also more accustomed to large-scale natural disasters and would probably see little reason to postpone the referendum.
"There's a split between the West and Burma's Asian neighbors," said a Western diplomat based in Bangkok. "It's a difficult situation; our options are very limited."
Seeking legitimacy
The constitution, drafted without participation from political parties, appears designed to consolidate the military's power while increasing its legitimacy in the eyes of neighboring countries eager to do business in the resource-rich country.
While many in Burma loathe the military and would most likely vote no if given the chance, analysts say a yes vote is nearly certain, because of the intimidation of opposition activists, state control over the voting process, the general lack of transparency, and low voter turnout expected after the cyclone.
The constitution took 14 years to write, but few people in the country have actually read it. It was completed in late February, and copies went on sale in late March for about a dollar – not a small amount in a country where the average income is about $85 per month and fuel and food costs are surging.
Sprinkled through the document are some fairly progressive clauses, including mandates for universal health care, environmental protection, and care for "mothers, children, and orphans." It loftily declares that the state aims for "discipline-flourishing genuine multiparty democracy" and "further burgeoning of the noblest and worthiest of worldly values, namely justice, liberty, and equality in the State."
Enshrining military power
But the constitution also guarantees the Army a place in the country's political leadership and says the military is free to operate independently.
It also bans the president from marrying a foreigner, which automatically disqualifies Suu Kyi, who was married to a British scholar who died in 1999. The constitution allocates 25 percent of parliamentary seats for the junta and gives the president liberal powers to declare a state of emergency under which all executive, legislative and judicial power is transferred to the Army chief and elected lawmakers lose their jobs. During this time, the Army chief has the power to restrict as many "fundamental rights" as he deems necessary.
Although the constitution is likely to pass, the cyclone and the junta's lackluster relief efforts could spell trouble for the military down the road. Protests in Burma typically occur as food supplies shrink prior to the harvest in October and November. It remains to be seen how much salt water from the cyclone's storm surge contaminated the country's "rice bowl" region.
"People are obviously angry at the military, but right now they are in survival mode," says Aung Naing Oo. "The full crisis may not hit the country until September. This whole area is basically nothing but fish and rice, and we can't underestimate the affect the cyclone may have on the country's food supply."

Shale playground in W. Texas
The Eagle Ford Shale play is still in its early stages, with landmen continuing to hunt for mineral rights across South Texas and no one really knowing how much oil is out there.
But if the Eagle Ford seems big, get ready for what's happening in West Texas, where oil and gas production is ramping up in shale layers such as the Wolfcamp in and around Midland.
"They're getting thousands and thousands of feet of pay zone," said Ken Morgan, director of the Texas Christian University Energy Institute, who spoke Wednesday at Palo Alto College. "It's like the Eagle Ford on steroids. They haven't even begun. We're just in the toe of this thing."
Morgan, who spoke as part of an Eagle Ford Consortium and Alamo Colleges event, said it's going to take "decades and decades" for companies to work through the shale reserves in West Texas.
And how long will it take for the Eagle Ford to play out? And how much oil is there?
"We're so early in this," said John Breyer, a geologist and senior technical consultant at Marathon Oil Corp. "I don't think anybody really knows."
But Breyer said that wells in the Eagle Ford are producing more oil using horizontal wells that are half the length of those in North Dakota's Bakken Shale.
"This is going to dwarf North Dakota," Breyer said.
He said companies would invest $25 billion in the Eagle Ford this year.
That's in line with a report last month from Wood Mackenzie, a global energy research firm, which estimated that the industry would sink $28 billion into the Eagle Ford this year — about 27 percent of all oil and gas investment in the lower 48 states. Between 2012 and 2015, Wood Mackenzie expects capital spending of about $116 billion in the region.
Leodoro Martinez, chairman of the Eagle Ford Consortium and executive director of the Middle Rio Grande Development Council in Carrizo Springs, said that even a few years into the play, which kicked off in 2008, there are still concerns about everything from housing to setting up adequate worker training programs.
"As far as we're concerned, we're just kicking off. We're just starting," Martinez said. "Our courthouses are still packed with landmen looking for additional resources."
Morgan said the Eagle Ford is part of a larger global energy picture, with U.S. shale plays upending the energy market. The United States imports $1 billion in oil per day, but Morgan said it has a chance to become more economically independent with hydraulic fracturing, which is the process of pumping sand, water and chemicals at high pressure to fracture dense rock formations to release oil and natural gas.
"We are covered in shale plays, and what we know about shale is the tip of the iceberg," Morgan said.
While companies have been drilling in the crude oil windows of shale plays, one thing limiting drilling of natural gas reserves across the country has been low natural gas prices, which fell, ironically, because of the abundant shale discoveries.
Prices are below $4 per million British thermal units, down from $12 in 2008. And dry gas sits at greater depths, making those wells more expensive to drill than oil wells.
If liquefaction plants are built, the U.S. can export natural gas to Europe and Japan, where prices for natural gas are much higher. Morgan also said large companies are looking at converting fleets to run on natural gas instead of diesel. "You've got cheap fuel, so cheap it's ridiculous," he said.
But Morgan also said OPEC is "jittery" about U.S. shale plays, and thinks that at some point it will drop the price of oil on the world market to try to force natural gas out of the market in favor of cheaper imported oil.

I get a lot of e-mail questions about gardening since this column appears in a dozen papers around New England � and I usually include my e-mail address. Among the most common is one that reads something like this, �Dear Henry, Something is eating my (you fill in the blank). What should I do?� Sometimes I will get a photo of a leaf that has been munched, or a blurry bug. Believe me, I�d love to diagnose and give safe remedies. But often I can�t.
Let�s look at bugs, properly called insects. These critters are in the arthropod phylum and all have certain common characteristics: they have an external skeleton, 3 body sections, jointed legs, compound eyes and a pair of antennae. Other than birds, they are the only creatures that can fly, though many do not. There are over a million named insect species (hence my reluctance to identify them based on a short description). Many insects are beneficial, and many � perhaps � co-evolved with flowering plants. They pollinate our crops and do many wonderful things for us.
When I give lectures I often ask my audience, �What problems have you had with insects?� The most common problem seems to be with Japanese beetles. These beetles, as the name suggests, are originally from Japan, and were first observed in New Jersey in 1916. In less than 100 years they have become omnipresent in Eastern United States. Why? They have very few natural predators � even birds don�t want to eat them.
As larvae, these pests generally live in lawns, feeding on grass roots. They are whitish grubs of various sizes, but up to an inch long. If you cut open a square foot of lawn with a sharp shovel and peel back the sod, you are likely to see a grub or two. If you count 10 or more in that sample, you have an infestation that will be a problem.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture developed a remedy in the 1940s called milky spore, which is a bacterium that can be suspended in water and sprayed on lawns. It is not a miracle cure, and is quite expensive. Not all entomologists believe that milky spore is an effective cure, at least not in New England, where weather conditions can kill the bacterium. Not only that, those darn bugs fly. So you can treat your lawn with milky spore only to have your neighbor�s beetles fly over the fence to attack your roses. I did talk to an enterprising gardener once who convinced her neighbors to treat, too, and she feels it made a significant reduction in beetle numbers.
What else can you do? There are beneficial nematodes (unsegmented worms) called Hb nematodes that will attack Japanese beetle larvae and are said to be 96 percent effective in eliminating Japanese beetle and chafer larvae if applied properly. According to a University of Maine website (just Google �Hb nematode�), the best time to apply these nematodes is July and August when the grubs are feeding in your lawn. If you buy them, follow the directions carefully: they need to be applied to moist lawn at dusk, and then watered in. These are live worms, and as such, need to be used soon after purchasing them. They are not generally available at garden centers, but are available online.
What about those Japanese beetle traps? Give them to neighbors you don�t like. They attract lots of beetles, but only capture some � so they attract more hungry beetles to your property if you use them. Really, just don�t buy them.
I am a firm believer that the best method of insect control for most bad bugs is hand-picking them and dropping in soapy water. Insects often have several life cycles in a summer, so try to reduce numbers before they reproduce. Hand picking works for potato bugs, for example, if you check your plants now, before large numbers have appeared. Look under the leaves, too. If you see orange egg masses, scrape them off and drown them in soapy water, along with the beetles and larvae. If you grow too many potatoes for hand-picking bugs, try something called �Bt,� another beneficial bacterium. It is readily available at garden centers. It does not act as a contact poison, but sickens the larvae so they stop feeding and don�t reach adulthood.
My insect nemesis is the striped cucumber beetle. It is a small striped beetle that can devour an entire small plant in one night. It eats not only cucumber leaves, but anything in that family including squashes and pumpkins. I do two things to help prevent their destruction: I grow my seedlings in pots until they have 3three to four leaves so the beetles can�t kill the plant in one night. And I cover my plants with row covers (breathable garden fabric) to physically keep those darn beetles off the leaves. Which is not to say that they can�t come up under the covers through the soil, but the method does help. And when the blossoms come, I�ll have to remove the row covers to allow pollination.
One last thing to consider: if you decide that spraying pesticides is easier than the organic methods described here, know that those same sprays will kill small beneficial insects that you probably never even notice. Those beneficials are keeping most pests from becoming problems.

43.3% of people think that God helps Tim Tebow
Does this mean that those same 43.3% think that Tebow is utterly useless without God?
Views: 300
Maybe. But it also means that when God helps the Broncos win, it's because the other team didn't pray enough or something so ridiculous. It's so hard for me to believe that people could actually believe this kind of baloney if they use their brains and just think about it a bit. God lets babies die and people suffer and wars rage on and earthquakes kill and animals go extinct....but he's helping Tim friggin' Tebow win a football game? That's a god I want nothing to do with.
It's a shame I'm not there. I'd be the one to give her the negative response. I don't bring up religion at work, but if others do, they're going to get it with both barrels, in response.
The breakdown of significant characteristics, by race and party affiliation, is about what we would expect, though.
I know absolutely nothing about American football and I could rattle off players names that I know on one hand. But I do who Tebow is and what he does. Unfortunately I can't avoid him. Every news site that I go to, he is there. The whole point being is that I don't actively search for sports news, just general world and local news. But he is still in my face whether I am interested in him or not.
I would like a 'delete' or 'hide' button for my internet so that I may place Kardashian, Lohan and Tebow in that filter, just to name a few. I think it ridiculous that I know a sports figure so well because of his religion. I don't even know what team he plays for or what position he plays - other than his now famous 'pose'. Does he have team mates? coaches? or is it just him and the lord on the field?. Please don't answer that - I don't really want to know.
Isn't that considered cheating?
maybe the NFL should make God is a performance enhancing drug.
Sadly, if asked why god goes on making severly retarded children, you will likely get an answer along the lines of......"We can not comprehend God's mysterious4 ways."
Why would anyone worship a god that helps Tim Tebow win football games, but sat out the Holocaust?
It was PRECISELY "GOTT MITT UNS" - "God With Us".
As for Sunday last against the Pats ... I think god was shooting 18 holes at Pebble Beach or something. Yeah, he was distracted by an approach shot he missed on 11 ... yeah, that was it.
i think God was busy getting ready for his big day -Sunday Funday. i'm sure he wanted to help out Timmy, but with a billion Christians about to pray like crazy, thousands of priests offering up Holy Water and (yummy) Communion Wafers to be sanctified, and his dissappointing 19 (53 under par) to reflect upon, he just had too much on his plate.

How to Manage a Windows 8 Library's Folders
The Windows 8 library system may seem confusing, but you can safely ignore the mechanics behind it. Just treat a library like any other folder: a handy spot to store and grab similar types of files. But if you want to know the inner workings behind a library, read on.
Introduced in Windows 7, libraries constantly monitor several folders, displaying all those folders' content in one window. That leads to a nagging question: How do you know which folders are appearing in a library? You can find out by double-clicking the library's name.
For example, double-click the Navigation Pane's Documents library, and you'll see that library's two folders: My Documents and Public Documents.
If you keep files in another location, perhaps a portable hard drive or even a networked PC, feel free to add them to the library of your choice by following these steps:
Right-click the library you want to expand and choose Properties.
If you choose the Documents library, for example, the Documents Properties dialog box appears.
Click the Add button.
The Include Folder in Documents window appears.
Navigate to the folder you want to add, click the folder, click the Include Folder button, and click OK.
The library automatically updates itself to display that folder's contents, sorting the contents into groups.
You may add as many folders to a library as you want, which is handy when your music files are spread out across many places. The library automatically updates to show the folders' latest contents.
To remove a folder from a library, follow the first step but click the folder to be removed and click the Remove button.
So, when you drop a file into a library, which folder does that file really live in? It lives in the folder known as the Default Save Location — the folder that currently holds the honor of receiving incoming files.
For example, when you drop a music file into your Music library, the file goes into your My Music folder. Similarly, documents end up in your My Documents folder, videos go into My Videos, and pictures go into My Pictures.
What if you want a different folder to receive a library's incoming files? To assign that noble task, call up the window, right-click the desired folder, and choose Set As Default Save Location.
You can create additional libraries to meet your own needs: Right-click Libraries in the Navigation Pane, choose New, and choose Library from the pop-up menu.

Anton Bruckner, Symphony No. 7
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted By Karl Böhm
June 1943, Guttman edition (Preiser CD 90102)
September 1976, Nowak edition (Deutsche Grammophon CD 419 858)
May 1977, Nowak edition (Audite CD 95.494)
Although not terribly celebrated as a Bruckner conductor, Karl Böhm left a relatively substantial recorded legacy, with 24 surviving recordings of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, and 8th symphonies. Böhm's lyrical and expansive approach to Bruckner is probably best suited to the 7th symphony, which was certainly the symphony of which we have the best recorded legacy. There are 2 surviving performances of the Guttman edition, including the 1943 performance reviewed here, and 9 of the Nowak edition, including the 1976 studio recording for Deutsche Grammoph and the 1977 live performance preserved in excellent sound by Audite.
It is interesting to compare the evolution of Böhm's interpretation from the war years to the two performances when he was already over 80. The timings are very informative. The 1943 Adagio stretches for a very lengthy 27.36, while the DG and Audite discs come in at 24.04 and 22.15 respectively. At the same time, the finale is significantly shorter in 1943 (10.37, as opposed to 12.03 and 12.04). It is characteristic of Böhm's 7th symphony interpretations that the Adagio is typically longer than the scherzo and finale combined, but the contrast in 1943 is remarkable. I am not convinced that this extreme architecture works. There are several moments when the Adagio seems about to grind to a halt, and the relatively aggressive approach to the finale distorts the pacing required for the movement not to seem lightweight after the monumental Adagio and what amounts to a second slow movement in the Trio of the 3rd movement. The sound from the 1943 recording is perfectly acceptable, but it would be difficult to recommend the performance for more than historical interest.
Böhm's interpretation is much more secure in the 1970's recordings. The balance between the movements works much better architecturally and the sound quality allows the finer points of Böhm's approach to come across, in both the live and studio performances. Böhm is a master at shaping Bruckner's melodic line – as can be appreciated from the opening bars of the Adagio in both performances. He is also highly skilled at bringing out the complex texture of Bruckner's orchestration. The coda to the first movement illustrates this nicely both live and in the studio.
The 1976 studio performance is marked by very sensuous string playing and great delicacy from the wind sections. The Adagio is well-paced, and the coda displays the VPO beautifully. However, the climax falls a little flat (due not least to a rather subdued percussion section) and the movement lacks the emotional engagement of the live performance, which I found more convincing overall. The Audite sound is good enough to bring out Böhm's distinctive lyricism. At the same time, the live performance has a sharper edge and greater drive, with a more compelling vision of the architecture of the 7th. The Audite disc is highly recommended.

The Challenges of Genealogy for the Disabled
That got me thinking about resources for doing genealogical research available to those who are deaf or otherwise disabled. I did find several genealogical organizations for the deaf:
Utah Deaf Genealogical Association, This appears to be a blog by W. David Samuelsen.
Alldeaf, deaf genealogy group. It doesn't look like they have too many members but this is a rather large forum.
DeafBiographies.com. This is a website devoted to biographical information about Deaf Americans through the early 20th century. This site contains a database of information which researchers -- genealogists and historians -- can use to find a more complete picture of this oft-overlooked population.
There was apparently a Family History Workshop and Conference for the Deaf back in June of 2006.
Actually, looks like pretty slim pickings. I would be interested to hear from any readers who are disabled either deaf or otherwise. If I do get some feedback, I will pass it on. Some of the topics that would be helpful:
How does your disability affect your ability to find your ancestors?
How are you treated by the members of the genealogical community?
What do you see as your greatest challenges?
What changes in the way genealogists do their work would help you?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

I have a walking disability and I find it hard to get to some archives, for example NEHGS in Boston. There I must park very far away, or take the subway, which then makes it impossible for me to carry anything to the library. Other libraries and archives are OK for access. I love cemeteries, but that is hard for me, too. The computer and online databases have been wonderful for me in the last few years, but as you know, not everything is online.ReplyDelete
I suspect there are many websites that are great resources, but aren't accessible to those who are sight impaired and use devices that read pages out loud.ReplyDelete
Hello, I just read your message and am glad to learn about you. I am Deaf, and (stupidly) I tend to think that we are the only people "excluded" from genealogy. I am wondering about ramped intrances to the archives you attend. One of my "pet peves" is that nasty "handicapped entrance in the rear". How can we all get these valuable assets made more available to ALL? Any ideas out there?? I am Suz. I am Deaf. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com or just keep writing to James Tanner's Blog (?). Let's be active!ReplyDelete

Yahoo! Shuts Down Mash Social Network
I made a profile for Yahoo! Mash when it launched a little under a year ago. I did it for work, really, and sort of forgot that the thing existed after a week or two.
Apparently, I wasn't the only one. The site never left private beta, and, as of today--perhaps unsurprisingly--the company has abandoned the site as yet another failed social networking experiment.
Yahoo! sent out a note to Mash users, informing them that the service will officially shut down as of today. "As a result," the note reads, "your current profile on Mash will no longer be available. We strongly recommend that you return to http://mash.yahoo.com and copy the content that you wish to save onto a separate document."
Mash joins a long, infamous line of failed Yahoo! social networking initiatives, including Yahoo! 360 and attempts to purchase both Facebook and Beebo.
Looks like it's back to the old Web 2.0 drawing board.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Josh Scott scored 14 points and Askia Booker added 12 to help Colorado snap a two-game skid by holding off USC 66-60 on Thursday night.
The Buffaloes (11-4, 1-2 Pac-12) ran their home record to 7-0 this season and kept the Trojans (6-10, 1-2) searching for that elusive road win. USC has now dropped 14 straight away from the Galen Center.
Eric Wise finished with 16 points for the Trojans, which haven't won on the road since Nov. 30, 2011, at UC Riverside.
Andre Roberson, one of the top rebounders in the nation, didn't start for the first time in 49 games. Colorado coach Tad Boyle declined to give a reason for Roberson's benching before the game, but said he would address the situation later.
The junior forward anxiously sat in his seat for just over four minutes, before being summoned into the game by Boyle. Roberson finished with 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

FDA Panel OKs Bird Flu Vaccine Stockpiling
(WASHINGTON) -- A vaccine for the H5N1 avian flu, or bird flu, has been approved by a panel of experts to be stockpiled for emergency use in case of a pandemic.
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel voted 14-0 in favor that the vaccine, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in Quebec, was in compliance with licensing standards under accelerated approval regulations, reports MedPage Today.
H5N1 currently does not spread as easily among humans as it does among domestic foul, but flu experts have feared it could mutate and potentially lead to a pandemic. In infected humans, the virus is highly dangerous. The World Health Organization says since 2003, there have been 608 bird flu cases -- 359 of those cases resulted in death, according to MedPage.
Although the FDA isn't required to follow through with the advisory panel recommendations, it generally does, MedPage reports.
GSK, who has worked with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in developing the H5N1 vaccine, is hoping the agency will move forward on the panel's approval to stockpile the vaccine.
"We now look forward to a final decision by the FDA later this year and to also continuing our collaboration with the U.S. Government on public health issues," Glaxo VP of vaccine discovery and development, Bruce Innis said in a statement.
GSK says that in clinical trials, the most common side effects of the vaccine include pain at the injection site, swelling, muscle aches, headache, fatigue, joint pain, shivering and sweating.

INC Review
Price: $1.99
Version Reviewed: 1.0.2
Device Reviewed On: iPod touch 4, iPad 2
Graphics / Sound Rating:
Game Controls Rating:
Gameplay Rating:
Replay Value Rating:
Overall Rating:
INC is the latest game from OrangePixel, continuing their run of retro-styled action-platformers. This goal in each level is to try and activate three boosters in order to open up the level gate. The game has a light storyline about futuristic mega-corporations taking over the world and replacing people with robots. As such, most enemies are either random goons dressed and armed to kill, or deadly robots of all shapes and sizes. Players can get stars for killing all enemies, activating all the boosters in underneath the time limit, and for finishing with extra health. Players also can earn experience from killing enemies that can be used to power up their main weapon.
INC is great for short pick up and play sessions; OrangePixel seems to have the pacing of their games down pat. The game features cloud-based saving through OpenFeint, so stars and experience can transfer between devices. I don't just mean between iOS devices, either; even the Android version of the game can load up cloud saves. The OrangePixel pixel art style is well in effect here, and the balance of monochromatic characters and backgrounds works really well to give the game a distinct look. Remote controls are supported, from Joypad and iCade on iOS, to keyboard and Xperia Play support on Android.
The level-up system is very annoying, in that gaining points to level up is extremely slow, then a huge amount is lost on dying. Pretty much the only way to level up is to replay the early levels over and over again, so that dying in new levels won't reduce the meter that much. It's just an extremely poorly implemented and user-unfriendly element that should have been revised or scrapped entirely. A lot of boosters are hidden in the environment, and thus require the shooting of random blocks in order to discover them, which doesn't feel all that fair.
INC is not perfect, but it's another solid action-platformer from OrangePixel. Fans of games with cloud-based saves and remote control support will want to check this one out.

Selena Gomez Speaks Out As She Cancels ALL Her Engagements
After months of travelling the world for her Revival World Tour, Selena Gomez is taking a break to take care of herself.
"As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways," the singer and actress, 24, tells PEOPLE exclusively in a statement. "I've discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges."
"I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off. Thank you to all my fans for your support. You know how special you are to me, but I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best. I know I am not alone by sharing this, I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues," she continues.
People magazine have spoken to Kenneth M.Farber, the CEO of Lupus Research Alliance who said ''It is not commonly known that depression, anxiety and panic attacks can be side effects of lupus. We are so proud of Selena for taking care of herself and bringing awareness to this sometimes very misunderstood illness."
A source close to Gomez went on to tell the magazine that the break is ''not related to substance abuse'' and was taken as she ''hadn't felt like herself'' over the last couple of months.
The source continued saying "She decided to clear her calendar for the year to have this be her priority for future happiness and didn't want to leave any promoters at bay,"
"She feels relieved that she can now make more sense of why she was feeling the way she was and is optimistic about the future."
It was confirmed last year the singer was battling the autoimmune disease, telling Billboard that she underwent chemotherapy as treatment during a break in 2013.
"I wanted so badly to say, 'You guys have no idea. I'm in chemotherapy. You're ass-----.' I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again," Gomez told the publication.
In July, at her Melbourne concert Selena said that she cancelled her Melbourne concert two years ago because ''well to be real, I kinda just lost my mind for a second.''


text: Matt writes in to warn us all not to fly on June 29th and 30th if we can help it, because the 29th is when flight plans for all domestic flights have to switch over to the international standard. Matt adds that it's just his personal opinion, so we're not sure how worried we should really be (remember the fake-out of the Y2K bug?). But then again, we're talking about airlines, so at the very least you should pack some extra energy bars if you're traveling on the day of the switchover.

You have changed my grieving into dancing! (Ps. 30:12) – Resilience
I often read Psalms when I am in of need support. While I sometimes do not understand everything I am reading, I find the words calming and comforting. Recently, however, the words of Psalm 30 have taken on an interesting meaning for me:
You have changed my grieving into dancing!
Thrown off my mourning clothes and dressed me in joy
So that my whole being might sing to you without ceasing
Pouring out my gratitude without end.
~ from Opening to You: Zen Inspired Translations of the Psalms by Norman Fischer. ©2002. Penguin Putnam, Inc.
It's as though the Psalm writer is saying, "Life threw lemons at me and God helped me make lemonade! I am so grateful." I think my most recent life experiences have opened my eyes to this new meaning.
These life experiences have caused me to think a lot about Resilience. You see, in the past 6 years my family has dealt with serious medical issues, employment issues, financial issues, unexpected deaths and lots of relocation.
I am not sharing this information to gain pity or because I believe my family has had a more difficult time than any other. During this same time the American economy has been in collapse, a Tsunami hit Japan, an earthquake struck China, Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast and untold other tragedies took countless lives and affected other families all over the world. No, this past 6 years has not been easy…for many people.
What I know for myself during this trying time, however, has been that in spite of my family and friends shaking their heads and wondering "how I was getting through all this," I never really thought I had any choice but to get through it.
Somewhere, a long time ago, I learned two very valuable lessons
1) "The best way out is always through." ~ Robert Frost
2) "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Somewhere a long time ago, I learned…Resilience.
I know that reading a boat load of books with excellent values content had a lot to do with my learning Resilience, but so have an unshakeable marriage, a loving family, strong friendships, and a deep faith. I wish you all these and more in the days ahead.
Happy Reading!
Kathy B.
Here are books that can help you teach your child about resilience:
How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? By Jane Yolen. Illustrated by Mark Teague. ©2000. Scholastic, Inc. Ages 2 -6. Going to bed in an orderly manner is a good way to make life palatable for everyone. I grew up with a lot of rules. My kids probably had a few less, but they still knew where the boundaries were. Rules are important. Rules, boundaries and structure build resilience. The entire How Do Dinosaurs… series is about starting children out with rules. They are all great.
Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity. Written and Illustrated by Mo Willems. ©2007. Hyperion Books. Ages 3 -6. I love the Knuffle Bunny books. This one is about starting a friendship. If it were not for my friends, friends who I could talk to about anything and everything, I would not have gotten through any of the experiences I have had in my life. Friendships are another way to help children build resilience.
The Kissing Hand. By Audrey Penn. Illustrated by Ruth E. Harper & Nancy M. Leak. ©2006. Tanglewood Press. Ages 4-8. Chester Raccoon is afraid to go to school. His mom shares the family secret with him – The Kissing Hand. It is always good to know that no matter what, your family will always be there.
I Can Hear the Sun. Written and Illustrated by Patricia Polacco. ©1996. Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers. Ages 7-11. A homeless, orphan finds his way to Lake Merritt and begins to assist the caretaker there with the geese. His courage, faith and hope inspire everyone he meets
May B.: A Novel. By Caroline Starr Rose. ©2012. Schwartz & Wade Books. Ages 9-12. An incredible story set in the 1800s. Written in free-verse, a young girl is sent by her parents to help in a neighbor's homestead in the Kansas prairie. Abandoned by her hosts and burdened by low esteem caused by learning disabilities, she finds the inner strength necessary to insure her own survival.
White Fang. By Jack London. ©1906. Many editions. Ages 11-16. The classic story of a wolf/dog that survives the most terrible abuse at the hands of men, yet its spirit remains unbroken and is reborn with the love and tenderness of a kind and gentle human being.
The Blessing of a B Minus: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Resilient Teens. By Wendy Mogul, Ph.D. ©2010. Scribner. Adults. An excellent resource for parents looking to raise children into strong adults, this companion volume continues the lessons learned in The Blessing of a Skinned Knee.
