Best of BoCoCa Boutiques

Papél New York. Photo: Alexander Thompson
Craft Corner
Knitting, crocheting, sewing and crafting have become popular City pastimes, particularly in Brooklyn, and we've scoured the BoCoCa area for some of the best places to work your finger magic. The aptly named La Casita, Spanish for "little house," is a knitter's paradise. Comfortable seating, food and beverages, a huge selection of yarns and a social atmosphere make this a setting you'll never want to leave. The shop holds classes for beginners as well as knitters who are looking to elevate their skills to the next level. Those who enjoy crafting their own jewelry will love Brooklyn Bead Box, the only store of its kind in the borough. It offers the obvious item (beads) along with instruction and classes on how to create jewelry; in addition, patrons can use the space (and the shop's tools, for free) to string their own beads. With an excellent selection and a knowledgeable and eager staff, Paper Source is the place for all your stationery, printing and crafting needs. The creative possibilities are endless, and there are store events to boot, such as a crafting contest, demonstrations and workshops. On Court Street, the modern paperie Papél New York stocks stationery, greeting cards, invitations, announcements and small gifts. The store's letterpress cards and customizable invitations can add that special touch to your Mother's Day greeting or thank-you notes. –HL

Longtime employer is community conscious
In a column submitted by Don Bye, there were a number of comments about AGCO, a Duluth, Ga.-based manufacturer of agricultural equipment, and the community of Jackson, Minn.
While we understand Mr. Bye's desire for job creation in Brainerd, we wanted to clarify some statements he made about AGCO, the company's recent and future expansion planned in Jackson, and our community. You see, AGCO is one of our community's longtime, major employers.

German Chocolate Cake Recipe
- 4 ounces German sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-1/2 cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1-1/2 cups evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup butter
- 5 egg yolks, beaten
- 2 cups flaked coconut
- 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon shortening
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate
- Line three greased 9-in. round baking pans with waxed paper. Grease waxed paper and set aside. In small saucepan, melt chocolate with water over low heat; cool.
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in melted chocolate and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
- In a small bowl and with clean beaters, beat the 4 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold a fourth of the egg whites into creamed mixture; fold in remaining whites.
- Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake 24-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- For frosting, in a small saucepan, heat sugar, milk, butter and egg yolks over medium-low heat until mixture is thickened and golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in coconut, pecans and vanilla extract. Cool until thick enough to spread. Spread a third of the frosting over each cake layer and stack the layers.
- In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth; drizzle over cake. Yield: 12 servings.
Reviews for German Chocolate Cake
Sort By :
I made this cake exactly as the recipes reads. It was AWESOME! The only concern I had was how thick the frosting was meant to be so a little more detail would have helped. I stirred until just boiling, removed it from the heat (similar to pudding) and then stirred in the coconut, pecans and vanilla extract. I let it cool for 30-minutes or so until it thickened more and it all came out perfect. No problems whatsoever. Highly recommend!!
I made this cake for my twin sons birthday. The only problem was the cake layers did not stick together once it was frosted. But it was delicious!!
This takes a little time to make but is so worth it for a special occasion!!! Baking a cake from scratch always gives you a superior product!!! As a TOH field editor, I try many new recipes and this is a keeper!
Can someone say WOW? I made this step by step and it came out GREAT! The only thing that gave me a little concern was the frosting. It said to store constantly until thick and golden. I would have preferred more detail. I wasn't sure if it was thick enough or golden enough but it turned out so I was happy.
It's really flavorful and just the right amount of coconut. Delicious , not too sweet and easy to make.

Purple Kitchen Cabinets
Not everyone is bold enough to paint the walls of their kitchen in purple. In this Parisian loft, it's the lower cabinets that got bathed in purple, giving the eat-in country-style kitchen a shot of urban chic...

I usually despise the color purple (uh ... the color, not the wonderful book & film) but I am really digging this!
It's not the purple, it's the combination of the purple with the warm sandy-beige walls. I love it.
I love purple. What a bold color to use in a kitchen. I really love it, don't know if I would use it though.
I have to agree with the above - if the purple was paired with a different color wall, it would look too over the top. The sandy walls really make this look.
Ooooh, me likey. And my walls are almost the same color, and I've been wanting to paint my cabinets. Hmmm...
I usually dislike purple too, but this is perfect!
So beautiful! I want to listen to relaxing music and make pancakes and bacon in the morning sun!
Very wam and open feeling. Love the colors - and having the stove beneath the window.
They pulled it off--great style.
I've always loved this color combo...
I have the original cabinets in my kitchen, and I don't want to replace them. I painted them white for lack of an idea, but now would like to paint the bases cabinets dove gray while leaving the wall cabinets white.
I thought I couldn't do that, but after seeing this, maybe I can.
Is it okay to have base and wall cabinets a different color?
God that's beautiful, and I love the shelf of teakettles all lined up. And the big sunny window! If you could marry a kitchen, maybe I'd marry this one.
Team Decor what color are your counters and backsplash?
I bought new upper cabinets for my kitchen that were a light maple color, but the bottoms were white. It didn't look right, so I painted the bottom a chocolate brown. I really like how it turned out, but purple would have really looked nice with my light gray walls! I love it.
team decor,
i think the base and wall cabinets being a different colour isn't a problem. as several have mentioned here it's really the combination of the sandy-beige with the deep but earthy/brown purple that makes it work here.
what really makes that work is that the bottom cabinets are the stronger and deeper colour. the anchor colour is at the bottom and doesn't weigh down the upper area. dove gray might be too light to accomplish it as well but could still work. you may want to consider a stronger colour.
I really like the effect of the table, which is a different hue of purple that adds interest to the solid blocks of strong color on the cabinets--yet, isn't too busy. The colors work well with the bright natural light in this kitchen. And I love the way the bead-board(?) style of the cabinets balances the bold colors. With smooth cabinets, the effect would be more modern (not bad, but different--and I prefer this mixed-style look).
The rug looks nice, but how would one keep it clean?

Dear Thomson Families,
Summer greetings! It's never too hot to enjoy your family and have some fun; we hope you're having lots of it. Here are some things you might want to know about:
Read on, and happy adventuring!
In 1998 Rick Thomson and Judi Wineland raised their heads from their very successful safari company, looked at their growing girls, and said "HEY, let's do all this for families…" Thus we were born as Thomson Family Adventures, the first company to offer adventure travel just for families. Adult tour companies have copied us but we are still the only one to do just families. We use our brains 24/7 just thinking of new ways to make family travel more fun, eye opening, safe and satisfying, so busy parents can have fun too, without the work of planning a vacation or figuring out directions. Our every day commitment is to families. Like yours. So help us celebrate - Book your next adventure between now and September 2008 (our birthday) and receive 10% off each child's land cost.
Lonesome George of the Galapagos, the conservation icon of the Galapagos Islands, is the rarest living creature and the last surviving tortoise of his kind. He's close to 100 years old! After many years of disinterest it appears he may have finally found a tortoise partner; a nest of 9 eggs was discovered in April. Some were broken but the surviving eggs are being tended to in an incubator, with scientists eagerly waiting their hatching. Come visit Lonesome George at the Charles Darwin Research Station while traveling on our Ecuador and Galapagos Adventure!
Thinking of traveling in December? Don't forget to plan ahead. Especially for Ecuador and the Galapagos... We have a very limited time to offer you space for December (Yes! We have some still!). But come early September the space will be gone. So this year don't wait until after Labor Day to realize you want to travel in December. It makes us sad to have to turn you away!
Have you seen our new web site? Our goal was simple - to make it easier for you to find us and easier for you to use. Let us know if we've done that! www.familyadventures.com
Aimee is fresh off the boat from our Alaska adventure and says:
Viewing Alaska's Glacier Bay from a 12 passenger expedition boat was an absolutely amazing experience. Something incredible happened every single day. Watching a massive piece of Margerie Glacier drop into the water 400 yards in front of our kayaks left every single one of us awestuck; the experience of riding out the huge swell caused by the falling ice cannot be described by pictures or words. BUT, you can see some great footage taken by one of our families here.
Jumping ship into the water, cooking dinner over a bonfire, seeing countless bald eagles, cruising next to groups of cooperatively feeding whales, and kayaking alongside seals, sea otters, jellyfish and sea stars are all memories that we'll be talking about for years to come.
I, Moo, just returned from an outstanding family safari in Tanzania and I can promise you: if you have never stopped to watch a pride of lions roll in the grass, or eaten lunch by a lake full of bobbing hippos, or witnessed how gracefully a giraffe can dash … If you have never seen the sunset over the Serengeti, or heard the hum of wildlife in the night… if you haven't had the good luck to play soccer with a school yard full of Tanzanian kids - you really must go on a Thomson Family Safari!
Jim and family just returned from testing our new Galapagos Multi-Sport Adventure: This is the trip for a family - with children 11 and up – with a more adventuresome spirit, and those who want to see the wildlife while camping, snorkeling and kayaking in the Galapagos. Being right on the islands of San Cristobal and Isabela allows for a deeper exploration of sites like Kicker Rock and the Sierra Negra Volcano (the world's second largest caldera). This adventure is beyond fantastic!
Nancy is packing her bag for scouting trips to Peru, Spain, and Morocco this fall.
Congratulations to our Costa Rican friend, colleague and favorite mentor Maria Soledad (Sole) who is getting married August 23rd!

Keep your eye on our fabulous new website for upcoming adventures with a theme, an added focus on your creative side. Specially designed for curious families, they feature professional instructors who love kids, and who look forward to helping your children grow their gifts and interests while having a great family adventure.
Come draw and paint your way through Costa Rica where bugs and butterflies, orchids and volcanoes beg for artistic interpretation! Every day is full of new ideas and inspiration along with ziplining, hiking and living in a new culture. Explore new places and new crafts – and have some adventure too!
Bring your camera to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands where sea lions loll on beaches and birds have blue feet! Visit tiny villages and hike rolling highlands, surrounded by the colorful and musical culture of Ecuador. Commune with wildlife that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world! Through it all you'll learn to capture this adventure in photographs as breathtaking as the memories you take home.
If you prefer to explore from the ground rather than from a ship, try our new land based Galapagos Multi-Sport Adventure. In addition to hiking and exploring the beautiful highlands of mainland Ecuador, you'll spend four days kayaking, snorkeling, and climbing in the volcanic world of the Galapagos Islands. With one night camping and three nights in a small lodge, this is for true adventurers ages 11 and up.
Would you like to combine the excitement of a traditional family safari in Tanzania with lots of activity?? You'll want to know about our new safari with lots of action - a trek up Mt Meru, biking, bush walks, and a community service project. You'll even get to camp one night, in a tent, under a sky bursting with stars - softies need not inquire! Only two departures are being offered this year.
To be added to the advance list for one of these distinctive family adventures please call Moo or Keith at 800-262-6255

Flexibility is key to any good adventure and I can hardly think of a better example than this: our friend Sam, at the tender – but never awkward – age of 14, packed for a family safari in a big rush. She ended up in Tanzania with two left shoes. Since she's an admirably light packer they also happened to be her only pair of shoes, except for flip flops. We were unable to find anything in her size before leaving town for the remote national parks, so Sam cheerfully donned those two left shoes every time we went out. She wore them without complaint or apology for two weeks, and always with a smile.
Needing some follow up, I wrote to see how things are now she is back home. To which my friend Sam wrote: "Yes... my feet have recovered. I actually had to wear two right shoes for a while because I was at my mom's house and the two left ones were at my dad's house. So maybe that helped, too…."
I know there is something to be learned in this story – something about packing, and humor, and the value of never letting the unexpected interfere with your good time. Maybe we should all wear two left shoes as a reminder.
Two Left Shoes

LONDON (Reuters) - Some of Britain's biggest retailers on Thursday cast doubt on an imminent consumer recovery, saying they expected spending to remain subdued until wages started to grow ahead of inflation, which could be at least a year away.
"While there is some relief in the economy, I think it would be a mistake to characterize that as a full blown recovery because a recovery will require growth in real earnings not just more borrowing," Next Chief Executive Simon Wolfson, a prominent supporter of Britain's ruling Conservative Party who sits in the upper house of Parliament, told Reuters.
He reckons a return to earnings growth ahead of inflation will take at least a year and warned a loosening of the mortgage market alongside government housing market stimulus measures looked likely to result in an "unhelpful house price bubble", which would be a drag on the economy when interest rates rise.
Next posted an 8.2 percent rise in first-half profit, with a strong performance from its Directory internet and catalogue business offsetting sales falls in traditional stores. It maintained its guidance for full-year total sales growth of 1.5-3.5 percent.
Morrisons reported a 10 percent drop in first-half profits, hit by its late entry into the online and convenience store markets and also cut its capital expenditure plans, as its shifts spend to the new channels.
Though it is budgeting for "no significant change to the challenging economic environment in the near future," it expects an improvement in its sales performance in the second half and forecast a full-year outcome in line with expectations.
On Monday, British finance minister George Osborne said the UK economy had turned the corner and that its growth vindicated the government's austerity program.
Though official data and surveys have shown an improving outlook for UK consumer spending, which generates about two-thirds of gross domestic product, retailers remain cautious.
J Sainsbury
On Thursday, Home Retail posted weather-assisted second-quarter underlying sales rises of 2.7 percent and 11 percent at its Argos and Homebase businesses respectively, but was still cautious.
"Whilst we continue to expect consumer spending to remain subdued, we approach the important Christmas trading period in good operational shape," said CEO Terry Duddy.
Employee-owned John Lewis
Andy Street, managing director of the department stores division, said shoppers were still being careful in how they spend. "They're willing to spend on big purchases .... but what we're definitely not seeing is a return to what I would describe as conspicuous consumption."
Elsewhere, online grocer Ocado
At 1030 GMT, shares in Next were up 0.1 percent, Morrisons was up 3.5 percent, Home Retail was up 2.9 percent, Ocado was down 0.1 percent and Dunelm was down 0.5 percent.

Called "an essential Jonathan Butler recording" by AXS, Living My Dream provides an honest and revealing soulfully-inspired songbook probing the artist's life and loves.
"Each album is a page of your life and this is the season of Jonathan Butler, the season of me. It took years for me to be able to use the term 'living my dream.' I had to grow in my confidence and comfort and security first," says Jonathan. "It's one of those albums that I really didn't think I had in me. I had been struggling, going through this emotional period. Last year was a transitional period. Once I got my wind and got back to a place of focus, it turned out to be the best experience for me. I had to be vulnerable to the songs. It was magical tracking the album and I felt surrounded by the positive vibes from everyone in the studio... When others believe in you, it's nothing to take lightly. These are all original compositions that came from the heart."

The Howard High School he formed a vocal group known as the Pleasures this was a short lived affair with Richard later joining his brother Arthur's group
Both Richard and Arthur came to the same conclusion that they stood a greater chance of success if they moved north so with fellow Chattnoogan Sam Gooden they migrated north relocating to Chicago. Upon their arrival in the Windy City they enrolled at the Washburn High School where they first met Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield. In 1957 with the addition of Butler and Mayfield they recorded the Richard Brooks penned "For Your Precious Love" under the group name of "Jerry Butler And The Impressions" for the local Abner label. Due to the popularity of FYPL and the help of their manager Eddie Thomas (of Thomas Records fame) they signed up to the nationally distributed Vee-Jay label. Following Jerry Butler's departure and further moderate releases Vee-Jay decided to drop them in 1961, only for ABC Paramount to sign them up. Securing a R&B hit with "Gypsy Woman", but following their sixth ABC release 'Sad, Sad Girl And A Boy' in 1963 The Brooks Brothers suddenly left The Impressions.
After briefly forming their own Impressions, Richard and Arthur then moved to Detroit where amongst other production projects they recorded the northern soul classic 'Looking For A Woman' as the 'Brooks Brothers', Tay (501). Tay being a subsidiary of the Detroit Sound label where Richard also composed The Sequins 'Try My Love' (503) a subsequent Detroit Sound release. Into the 70's Richard pitched up at Nasco Records in Nashville as the lead singer of the group Bits And Pieces. For whom he wrote four excellent tracks, 'Did I Scare You/Smoke Stream' (Nasco 031) and 'Sinner (Have You Been There)/Keep On Running Away' (Nasco 033).
In 2009 Richard in collaboration with blues man Oliver Johnson, (Albert King's former band leader) formed their own production company. One of their most recent projects is Richards own cd project 'I Am Back' which has never really got past the promotional stage.
Fate then intervened courtesy of Dave Thorley and Malayka Erpen. Malayka whose job involves making regular trips to Chattanooga struck up a friendship with a local taxi driver. Malakya's enquires regarding any local soul artists he might know led to a meeting with the aforementioned Richard Brooks, with whom she discussed his performing career over a game of cards. As they parted company Richard pushed a cd into her hands which eventually arrived at Soul Junction HQ. It is from this cd that the Impressionesque 'I'll do Anything To Make You Happy' and 'With All My Heart' have been taken for this excellent 45 release.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - They gathered in the bowels of the arena where most of the great fights of the last two decades have taken place, old men now all sharing one shining moment from years gone by. They had come to honor The Greatest, though whether Muhammad Ali remembered who they were or knew what it was all about was a matter of speculation that on this night would go unanswered.
Wind has to be one of my least favorite conditions to fish in.
Yakutat, Alaska's closest neighbor is a glacier the size of Rhode Island.
I guess for as long as there have been anglers; there have been those who simply have to wade out into the current to better catch fish.
The pretenders were as obedient as ever and folded early, just like they always seemed to when Tiger Woods was in his prime.
The end of football season marks both a happy and sad time for me.
If you're like me, a cold messes with your head before it infects it.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Tom Brady was one of the last ones out of the shower, perhaps hoping some extra hot water would help take the sting out of a crushing Super Bowl loss. In a nearly deserted New England Patriots locker room, he sat, wearily pulling on his boots, the pained look on his face never changing.
I almost hate to mention that spring is almost here, but it is!
To understand fully the quandary I faced Saturday, I'll have to volunteer that the first time I remember my cell phone ringing while fishing was in 2007. I was trout fishing on the Klawock River back home, where reception is spotty at best. But the call made it through and lit up my pocket. Though I was fishing and I risked setting a precedent, I answered. After all, it was my mom and it was about dinner.
Over the years I've been writing this column, I often refer to the fact that just being outdoors is good therapy for me. Whenever I get wound up and agitated, an outdoor excursion seems to help relieve the tension. Although fishing is my favorite outdoor pastime, I also get peace of mind from hunting, photography, plinking tin cans or just a walk in the woods.
Several years ago in an angler's online forum, I wrote about our artificial baits becoming better than the fisherman.
I stood for a moment atop the steps and looked down at the rows of lodges, outfitters, fly shops and other booths in the fly-fishing building at the International Sportsman's Expo in Sacramento.
Joe Paterno had barely hung up the phone when his wife of 50 years picked it up and redialed the number scrawled on the slip of paper.
Every so often there is a gun control measure put on the ballot for voters to consider. Most such measures are misguided efforts to reduce violent crime. The theory behind such restrictive gun measures seems to be based on the idea that if it's harder to obtain a gun, then violent crime rates will drop. Ironically, the exact opposite has been proven true time after time.
It's being billed as an "epic" football game, an "instant classic" between two perennial powers.
Several decades ago I was hunting bears in the Sierra. It was dusk and I walked down a dusty dirt road looking for bear tracks. After about an hour, I turned around and began walking back to my camp. Looking at my tracks in the dusty road, I discovered mountain lion tracks right over the top of my footprints! A lion had tracked me for over two miles. I had no clue he was there. I guarantee you that will make the hair on your neck stand up! Mountain lions are like tan ghosts, you never see them until its ...
Oh, Roger, you still don't get it.
Every year, there are new fishing products that come out and quickly become the hot item.
Bulldogs don't belong in a catbird seat, so East Union defensive coordinator Jason Stock's decision to leave the press box should come as no surprise.
The two-point conversion has long been the nemesis of Manteca High football coach Eric Reis.
He bounced near the starting line - wrists wrapped, hands covered in powder. The entire arena bounced along with him.
I had every reason in the world to take in everything that South Florida had to offer.
The stakes just keep getting higher and higher for the football programs at Manteca and Oakdale high schools.
SONOMA - Scott Dixon patiently stalked race leaders Graham Rahal and Mike Conway over the closing laps of Sunday's GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma before blowing by Conway with just three laps to go in the 85-lap race to capture his second Verizon IndyCar win of the season.
Manteca was supposed to help break in Levi's Stadium next Friday, Aug. 29.
The other day while driving home from work I saw a truck towing a trailer with a couple snow mobiles on it.
I recently got an email forwarding an article about a woman from Pennsylvania who appears to be in the process of being railroaded into prison by the justice system in New Jersey.

Addiction, homelessness, gang violence, confusion, despair and poverty can all be ripple effects of a bad education. Here in Portland, Oregon we have a very conflicted situation going on between teachers and the school board. After talking to one of the teachers involved (who is a friend) I learned that teachers are going to be overwhelmed by too many children in the classroom, not enough pay, not enough resources, even building that are substandard and to top it off double shifts. That means teachers are working overtime without pay.
So what is the deal that we can put so much money and focus on so many things that are not that important when compared to our children and their education? Are we so stupid and clueless to the fact that if we don't give our kids a good quality education right from kindergarten on to 12K we are going to produce ripples that end up in violent waves in our cities. Much has been written about this already so I won't elaborate here but just needed to write a short article to stimulate thinking about the issue.
As I watch the back and forth between teachers union and the board (politics) I see that money, power, egos, chaos, and selfishness seem to be more important than the children and their underpaid, overworked teachers. Huh? Really people get a better board and a better politics.
Poverty is a bane in our nation. Children of poverty suffer the most as I mentioned in my book Negotiating Shadows. (http://negotiatingshadows.com) Poverty and lack of education coupled produce all the above mentioned situations. I see what lack of education and poverty do to people that are older---I live in a community of elders that suffered all their lives from lack. What a waste! Ok so time to go to your school board, local government, national policy makers and do what you can to encourage, well insist, that we have better conditions for our children, teachers, and parents. Healthy families in healthy communities produce a better country---Let's wake up and make it happen.

The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. CCFA's mission is to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases. Since its founding in 1967, CCFA has been building awareness and funding cutting-edge medical research, professional education, and patient support. These programs are supported solely by contributions from the public. To learn more, go to ccfa.org, or follow CCFA on Facebook at facebook.com/ccfafb or Twitter at twitter.com/ccfa.
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic, painful, debilitating diseases that attack the digestive system. Crohn's disease may attack anywhere from the mouth to the anus, while ulcerative colitis inflames only the large intestine (colon). These diseases are generally accompanied by abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, fever, and weight loss. Many patients require hospitalization and surgery, and may also experience severe complications. Some 1.4 million Americans suffer from these diseases, nearly 150,000 under the age of 18. Most people develop the diseases between the ages of 15 and 35, and although tremendous strides have been made in medical research, these diseases still remain medically incurable. Learn more at ccfa.org.
Team Challenge is CCFA's endurance training program, designed to raise funds towards research for a cure for Crohn's and colitis. When you join Team Challenge, you commit to help raise critical dollars for the millions of people who suffer from these debilitating diseases while training for an exciting endurance event.

Gatorade Endurance Formula is scientifically formulated to meet the specific needs of endurance athletes. It contains a five-electrolyte blend including nearly twice the sodium (200 mg) and more than three times the potassium (90 mg) compared to original Gatorade Thirst Quencher. Drink Gatorade Endurance Formula to help sustain hydration, help maintain proper fluid balance and help replace key electrolytes lost in sweat during long distance training and racing.
Fuel your pre-race training with Gatorade Endurance Formula and other Gatorade Endurance products by finding them at a store near you or ordering online.
Taking the right kind of fuel is critical to an endurance athletes' success. Get ready for race day by reviewing hydration tips from Gatorade below or learn more at gatorade.com/endurance.
Hydration Tips for Endurance Athletes
- Endurance athletes, especially when training or racing >2h or those who have high sweat losses, should replace both fluid and sodium during exercise. To estimate if you are a "salty sweater," look for white residue on dark colored clothing after a training session
- Know your sweat rate to customize a plan to meet your unique needs
- You should determine your individual sweat rate and consume fluids with sodium to minimize body weight changes during training and racing. To determine your sweat rate, measure body weight before and after a training session in the same environment as the race and keep track of all the fluid consumed. A rough estimate of sweat rate can be obtained by using the following equation: Sweat Rate (L/h) = (weight loss – fluid intake (L))/exercise time (hours) An automated calculator is available here at the Gatorade Sports Science Institutes Website.
- Answering "yes" to any of these questions may indicate inadequate hydration: Am I thirsty? Is my urine a dark yellow color? Is my body weight noticeably lower than yesterday?
- You should be sure to drink enough fluid to prevent dehydration without over-drinking. Dehydration may strain the cardiovascular system and increases body temperature, which increases the risk of heat illness. However, endurance athletes who over-drink in relation to sweating could be at risk for a rare but very serious condition called hyponatremia (low blood sodium concentration). Consuming beverages with sodium during training and racing may help maintain blood sodium levels.
- Mix and match products to find the right combination of solids and fluids to meet both your carbohydrate and fluid needs
Jeukendrup A. (2011). Nutrition for endurance sports: marathon, triathlon, and road cycling. Journal of Sports Sciences, 29 Suppl 1, S91-99.
Recommended Carbohydrate Intake During Exercise
|Carbohydrate Amount
|< 30 Minutes
|30-75 Minutes
|Very Small Amounts
|Mouthrinse appropriate
|1-2.5 Hours
|30-60 g/h
|Rapidly used sources such as sucrose, glucose, and maltodextrin
|> 2.5-3 Hours
|Up to 90 g/h
|Use a blend of glucose & fructose
- Use sports drinks to provide fluid and electrolytes
- It is possible to train the gut! If you are currently consuming less than the recommendations, try to gradually increase intake during training to reach recommended levels.
- Practice your race strategy in training and make sure you can tolerate your race nutrition without problems

NEWARK — The Bruins found a couple of shortcuts to the top of the Northeast Division Wednesday night, scoring twice while shorthanded in the first period, carrying a 4-0 lead into the first intermission, then doing just enough to hang on and pin a 5-4 loss on the Devils and get out of the Rock with a No. 2 seed in hand as the playoffs approach.
"We won a big game,'' said Bruins coach Claude Julien, his squad slipping ahead of Montreal by one point in the Eastern Conference standings. "That's a desperate [Devils] team. But there were a couple of things that took the fun away from the victory.''
