Ah, potato salad. This traditional dish is one that I do indeed miss and get a craving for from time to time. My mother makes a mean bowl of potato salad but it has been years since I last enjoyed a bowl or two or three.
Now, I am not even hinting that this recipe tastes just like her potato salad, that would just be… wrong! But, I will say, that this brings back the fond memories of mom's famous dish.
The key ingredient in this recipe that replaces the famous spud, is cauliflower! I have learned that cauliflower is a very versatile veggie and it is gaining popularity. I do have to say that I usually eat it lightly steamed because in the raw form, it is a bit tough on my digestive system, but I made this dish with raw cauliflower for Bob and he loved it. He did share with me that it is very filling, so keep that in mind when you are trying to decide how much to make.
I also found that I had some extra sauce leftover which was fine., I just kept it in a bottle in the fridge. On the second day of serving the salad, I added a bit more as it started to dry up a bit. Then I thinned the rest out to use as a salad dressing.
Cauliflower marinade:
Add ins:
Sauce: yields 2 cups
Sounds delish!
Thumbs up from me – made it today (fridge method) and it was tremendous. I couldn't believe how yummy the sauce was, and the marinated cauli was crisp yet mellow.
You're a genius, Amie-Sue. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes.
Just made this. Tastes absolutely amazing. =) Next on my list to make is the dill crouton. Can't wait. Thank you for the recipe.
I made this today and loved the lemony zucchini sauce! It's definitely a keeper, not only for this cauliflower salad, but also as a sauce for pastas or other salads. Next time I would add nutritional yeast for a cheesey flavour!
Also, thank you for all your raw recipes and detailed collection of tutorials. I appreciate all the hard work!
[...] Cauliflower "No-Potato" Salad 2-3 servings. Vegan. Adapted from the Noveau Raw.Ingredients [...]
I have some chopped zucchinis and was wondering approximately how many cups I would need.
By the way, I love your recipes!!!
Also, can I sub the ground mustard with liquid mustard?
Amie Sue, I brought the cauliflower salad to a raw potluck last night – it was a huge hit! That's a recipe that you can count on. Thanks so much
Hi Amie Sue, i'm in love of this recipe, but i have a problem!
I really nedd ur help to fix it and find a good solution.
I don't have the zipbag and i cant take the air out.
And my dehydrator (right?) isn't big enough to get in a covered glass bowl!
My dehydrator is done with large and high plate with a hole in the middle…i know it's a problem…don't tell me… :(
But what if if put on my dehydrator plate the cauliflower with his marinate and cover it with some plastic film? I can put down the film with some apple or similar…
Or what if i "cooked" the cauliflower in double boiler? (i cachted this word on google…but i'm sure in french is bain marie, it's when u boil some water and get worm the food in a bowl over the other)
Well i really hope in ur help!!!
Thanks, and i love your new idea about meshup recipe!!!
Hi Amie,
that looks like my type of recipe :)
just wondering, is it possible to replace cashews with macadamia nuts or pine nuts?
thats the only nut my son is not allergic to..
thank you very much :)
WOW! This was a great lunch for me. I tried this recipe with dehydrated cauliflower.
I really love the sauce, I halved the recipe- and ended up with a lot left over- probably because I only had 1 cauliflower head available.
The sauce is a winner! I want to try your sauce as a "sandwich spread" on one of your bread recipes. :)
Have you tried this as a sandwich spread?
I will let you know how that goes.
peace and blessings!
High Amie-sue
where is that other potato salad recipe I saw a few weeks ago, you have the cherry tomato egg salad, and there was a pic of another potato salad recipe or picture, I would love that one please. By the way I love all your recipes.
thank you

Plenty of teenagers in the '90s grew up on the music of Incubus , but you might be surprised to learn that pop superstar Katy Perry was one of them -- or at least, she tried to be one of them.
Perry recently told GQ magazine that the band's 1999 double-platinum album, Make Yourself , was the first CD she ever bought, but her purchase didn't work out so well. The singer was 15 when Make Yourself released, and was nervous about bringing the disc home because she knew her deeply religious parents, who were both Pentecostal pastors, would disapprove.
As Perry tells GQ, "I brought it home at the bottom of my knapsack, with stuff on top of it. My parents never searched my bag, but my mom has got a pretty good intuition and a great connection with God, so I thought: she's going to know something's up. So I remember going up to my room, I put my comforter in the crack of the door to make it hard to get in."
But despite all her preparation, her attempt to listen to forbidden music ended in disaster. As Perry recalls, "I opened it up and tried to pull the CD out and it breaks in two like the Ten Commandments. And I was like, 'Maybe this is a sign. I should never be listening to this music.'"
Incubus isn't the only rock band that Katy Perry likes: she credits Queen with being one of her biggest musical inspirations. In fact, last year, she came out with a perfume called Killer Queen.

A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press that free agent outfielder Ryan Ludwick is returning to the Cincinnati Reds for a two-year contract worth $15 million.
The person spoke Saturday under condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement about the agreement.
The 34-year-old Ludwick hit .275 with 26 home runs and 80 RBIs while helping Cincinnati win the NL Central. He hit three homers and batted .333 in the Reds' five-game loss to San Francisco in the NL division series.
Ludwick declined a mutual option after the season, turning down a $5 million salary and instead receiving a $500,000 buyout. He had signed a one-year deal with a $2 million base salary for 2012, and earned another $350,000 in performance bonuses based on plate appearances.

Roland Mouret teams with Couture Lab
Roland Mouret has created a range of just 12 dresses using rare, fine French lace for high end online fashion retailer, Couture Lab.
Roland Mouret has designed a limited range of lace dresses for Couture Lab.
The fashion designer has collaborated with the luxury online fashion store for an exclusive range of dresses made using handmade French lace so rare that only 12 dresses could be created.
There will be four designs in the collection, with just three dresses in each style available for purchase.
Carmen Busquets, founder of Couture Lab, said: ''I wanted to do this collaboration with Roland because, ever since we met, he's wanted to create couture pieces for modern women on the move - pieces that could be wearable, easy to pack and that are timeless.''
''As the lace is vintage, it is thick enough for cool evenings. I love lace dresses from all sorts of brands, but some are so fine that I always need something to cover the beautiful work of it. Therefore when I saw this version I thought, 'This will solve the problem!' ''
Each of the dresses are named after a different female icon of the 1950s including 'Singing' in the Rain' actress Cyd Charisse and Wilhelmina Cooper, founder of the Wilhelmina modelling agency in New York City.
The rare pieces come with hefty price tags ranging between £4,625 and £7,795.

2 Stocks to Avoid in 2013
Daniel is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The world is full of enough uncertainties going into 2013 -- all the more reason not to burden our portfolios with stocks shrouded in uncertain outcomes. Instead of looking at what investments could turn out to be potential winners in 2013, I'll examine two stocks to avoid.
To make the determination to avoid a stock, we must first separate the notion of a good business from a good investment. A good investment should meet three criterion:
- Understandable business economics
- A durable competitive advantage
- A margin of safety
The criterion above are in order of precedence. A business can only be deemed to have a durable competitive advantage if the investor understands the business. Furthermore, the forecasts and predictions needed to determine whether the business is trading at a discount to fair value are only relevant if the business has a durable competitive advantage. Most investing outside of these parameters is purely speculation (or cigar butt investing for those who participate in asset plays).
In other words, a good business isn't always a good investment. For example, a business may pass criteria number one and two, but it is clearly overpriced to merit a sensible investment and, hence, fails criteria number three.
Let's take a look at some examples. Without further ado, two investments to avoid in 2013:
1. Pandora (NYSE: P)
Most people like to start the new year with some encouraging resolutions. Pandora went into the new year by slashing its 2013 guidance, estimating a loss of 9 to 12 cents per share. Pandora passes on criteria number one, but it fails on number two. Due to the low barriers to entry in the streaming music business, companies with much larger balance sheets (e.g. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Facebook, and Google) are able to introduce competing services and tap into their existing resources and users. Some of these competitors already have more experience in the music business.
Plus, there are numerous rumors that Apple is already working on its own Pandora-like music service. Apple's TTM free cash flow of $40.5 billion alone is equal to 30 times Pandora's market capitalization. With millions of iTunes customers across the world, Apple already has access to the largest digital music customer base in the world. A competitive offering from Apple could very well represent the beginning of the end for the much smaller Pandora that is already forecasting a loss for the next 12 months.
2. Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS)
Barnes & Noble is in a dire situation, failing on criteria number two: 92% of the business is in decline and the other 8% (the Nook segment) is trying to take on Apple and Amazon. With just $160 million in sales during the quarter, Barnes & Noble's Nook segment pales in comparison to its competition. In a press release on Dec. 27, Amazon announced that "Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire, Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle hold the top four spots on the Amazon worldwide best seller charts since launch." Meanwhile, Apple floods the market with tens of millions of tablets every quarter while raking in 27 cents of free cash flow on every dollar of sales. If investors are counting on Barnes & Noble's Nook division to save the stock, they should expect some serious headwinds.
The Bottom Line
Pandora and Barnes & Noble lack durable competitive advantages to protect future cash flows. Bigger, stronger, and better equipped competitors are potential threats to both Pandora and Barnes & Noble. When the core business is threatened, an investment becomes speculation. And speculation is not my game -- I'd rather take my money to the slot machines in Las Vegas.

Casting Call: Sean Hayes Set As Larry For 'Three Stooges' Film
Sean Hayes is ready to nyuk, nyuk, nyuk it up on the big screen.
The former "Will & Grace" star has been cast as Larry in the upcoming "Three Stooges" film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The comedy, directed by the Farrelly brothers, is expected to begin production later this month.
While production is right around the corner, the cast has yet to take shape.
Hayes will star as Larry and Will Sasso (best known for his roles on TV's "$#*! My Dad Says" and formerly "Mad TV") will play Curly, however, the role of Moe has yet to be finalized.
Hank Azaria is the name most recently mentioned as likely to fill the role.
Stars like Sean Penn, Jim Carrey, Benicio del Toro and Paul Giamatti had all been previously reportedly attached to the project, at one time or another.
Best known for his role as Jack McFarland on the long-running NBC sitcom "Will & Grace," Hayes was last seen on the big screen in the 2007 film "The Bucket List."
He lent his voice to the 2010 kids feature "Cats & Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore."

You guys (and ladies) need to help me here because there is something that I don't quite understand.
When did coach's comments at booster clubs and radio interviews in MAY become MAJOR, MAJOR stories?
Two examples:
Florida coach Urban Meyer was recently speaking to a Gator Club in Orlando and said the following words: "If you want to be critical of a player on our team or a coach on our team, you can buy a ticket in seat 37F. You're not welcome back in the football office. You're either a Gator or you're not a Gator."
It was assumed in the media that Meyer was talking about former quarterback Shane Matthews, who co-hosts a radio show in Gainesville. As a radio host he has been analytical, and sometimes critical, of Florida's offense, particularly the passing end of it. That's his job. Besides, it is fair to say that Matthews know a little bit about the passing game.
Meyer's job is to win games and protect his program from all enemies, foreign and domestic. He's a coach and coaches are control freaks. It's in their DNA. They can't help it. Yeah, the remarks seem a little strident but in the context of a booster club it was like a politician throwing red meat to his base. It's harmless.
But after those comments Meyer was being portrayed in some circles as a guy with a god complex that has only grown because of two national championships in three years. Suddenly, after four years in Gainesville, Meyer is trying to throw down the gauntlet to former players: You're either in or you're out.
The story was picked up on ESPN.com. The Worldwide Leader had Matthews on its daily TV show and he said that the story was overblown. Matthews talked to Pat Dooley of the Gainesville Sun, who is as dialed in to Florida as any reporter in the business. Dooley reported that Matthews and Meyer have talked and cleared the air. But for a week it was a really big deal down there. My question is: Did it have to be?
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier went on Paul Finebaum's radio show and said that he, too, had heard the rumors that Meyer might someday head ride off into the sunset to Notre Dame. If you know Spurrier, it is the kind of throwaway line that makes talking to him fun.
Remember "Free Shoes U?" I'm sorry Florida State fans, but THAT was funny. "Can't spell Citrus without a UT?" Even if you wear Orange you have to laugh at that.
Now everybody has heard those rumors about Meyer and as long as Florida's good and Notre Dame's not, those rumors are not going away. But one trip around the blogosphere and Spurrier is suddenly talking smack about Meyer and using it for his recruiting advantage. That's was not the context of the remarks. Spurrier was just having fun. You remember fun, don't you? This is sports. This is supposed to be fun.
What was supposed to be a harmless, good natured jab at an opponent became this thing with legs that would not die.
So what's the big deal, you ask? Those guys said what they said and they have to live with the consequences. It's the age in which we live. Deal with it.
And you might be right. It could be that the cyber genie is out of the bottle and that the mega interest in college football, plus the money these guys are making make every word fair game.
But here is the concern. Since last week both Meyer and Spurrier have both become very cautious in public interviews.
"What happens is you can't speak anymore," Meyer told the Gainesville Sun. "You can't have fun. You can't talk. You know, it's a shame, but that's the way it is."
Spurrier was in Myrtle Beach on Tuesday and even he has decided to back off.
"I haven't won enough games to banter with anybody right now," he told The Myrtle Beach newspaper. "So when you're 7-5 and 7-6, which is about what we've averaged, you just try to worry about your team."
College football coaches are boring enough during the season. But it used to be that we could get them to take off the blinders and loosen up for a few weeks in May and June. Is college football going to become like the NFL (No Fun League) because the coaches just get tired of every word being dissected and, in some cases, being blown way out of proportion? I hate that phrase because "proportion" is in the eye of the beholder but it seems to apply here.
I guess I have to remember that in the blogosphere little nuggets grow into big boulders if enough people chatter about them. But those of us in the business learned a long time ago that the stuff said at booster meetings has to be taken with a grain of salt. What coaches say in front of reporters is one thing. What they say in front of the booster clubs is another. In my opinion, you just can't take it that seriously.
Apparently people do.
Am I missing something here?
Happy Birthday, Archie: I talked to the Ole Miss legend last night as he was celebrating his 60th birthday. The father of Peyton, Eli, and Cooper was born on May 19, 1949. It just doesn't seem that long ago that I was watching him play against Georgia in Athens. "I sure don't feel 60. I feel great," he said. He looks like he could still play.
For those of you who never saw Archie Manning play in college, let me share this. Imagine a quarterback with the arm of Peyton or Eli. Now add speed. Archie Manning could flat run.
May 20th, 2009

Can't believe Archie is 60, Happy Birthday Papa Manning! One of the three best collegae players I ever saw. Shame he broke his arm his senior year, probably cost him the Heisman.

I have disliked Meyer since long before he took over at Florida, so I'll refrain from commenting on him in particular. However, my personal opinion is that coaches, in general, have become prima donnas.
It probably has a lot to do with the outrageous sums of money they make these days and the expectations that go along with the money. It gives the coaches a sense of both entitlement (I'm rich, I deserve this…)and fear (What happens if I don't have this any more?). Shula was one season removed from a 10-win season when he got canned and has not been able to get anywhere near that salary since. Price never coached a single down for Alabama before getting fired for his off the field transgressions. He also has been mired in lower levels ever since.
I've often said that if Bryant or Jordan had to start out in today's college football environment, they probably wouldn't have lasted nearly as long as they did. The expectations from the fans and the constant barrage from the media is far greater than it used to be.
Tony, I think it would make for interesting reading for you to do a comparison of the salaries that were paid to guys like Bryant, Dooley, Jordan, Neyland, etc… and their counterparts today. A comparison using today's dollars would be good to help put things into perspective.
I do remember Archie Manning's playing days, both in college and the pros. He was a much more exciting college player than either of his sons, but I think Payton's a much better pro player.

Another great article TB; modern coaches all seemed too polished for my liking. No more "off the cuff" remarks, every statement seems like it was written by a PR guru and all the fun (and possibly controversial) elements washed out of it.
college football is becoming way too sanitized. Too many robots, not enough personalities.

Archie was a great college QB….he was big, fast and had a strong arm. I remember that game in Athens….Ole Miss won. Archie should have won the Heisman Trophy at least once….maybe the year Steve Owens from OU won. He suffered a broken wrist one year and still played…with a cast, taking snaps under center.
You never heard any of these abrasive comments coming from the Old Masters of college football…Bear, Shug, Vince, Bud, Darryl, Vaught, Broyles…they all knew that the croaking frog usually got gigged. Spurrier was the first to really rely on the needle to openly agitate his opponents, but then he seemed to always have the fastest horse in the race. Urban has the same luxury. Kiffin, on the other hand, just seems to be a loose cannon…all powder, no ball. Tech's PJ will prove to be another one of the new breed who tends to run his mouth rather recklessly.
May 20th, 2009

speaking of frogs…sorry is the frog that doesn't croak in his own pond. I think, as TB said, these remarks are generally harmless, smoe teasing if you will.
It makes the long offseason go by faster.

[...] Last week I wrote that I believe coaches will eventually become more bland… they'll become more careful in what they say due to increased media scrutiny. They'll especially start to watch what they say to booster groups, where comments are no longer "off the record."Now Tony Barnhart of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says that he fears coaches will become more boring, too. And he places the blame with folks in the internet world who write about these things."I guess (I) have to remember that (in) the blogosphere little nuggets grow into big boulders if enough people chatter about them. But those of us in the business learned a long time ago that the stuff said at booster meetings has to be taken with a grain of salt. What coaches say in front of reporters is one thing. What they say in front of the booster clubs is another. In my opinion, you just can't take it that seriously. Apparently people do."I agree that these booster club barbs have been tossed around for years. "You can't spell Citrus without U-T." "Free Shoes University." "Nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state."I also know that with everyone having access to a cell phone camera and the internet, the days of these comments NOT being blown up are long gone.But while Mr. Barnhart might be right that it's the "blogosphere" crowd who builds this stuff up (personally, I'd have gone with messageboard folks), it's the folks in the honest-to-goodness REAL media who are now getting involved in it for the first time.I don't consider this site a blog. MrSEC.com is designed to be a news site where you can come and find out what's going on all around the league. It's not usually a series of "I just ate a taco" personal posts.And being that we link to REAL media sources (television stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines) 99.9% of the time and that I am in the actual media and have been since 1991, I feel that I can comment on this:The line between REAL media and the blogosphere is disappearing. Quickly. For example, if you've read anything on this site about jokes and digs made by Steve Spurrier, Lane Kiffin, Dan Mullen or Urban Meyer (and you have), it's been because I've linked to a tv, radio, newspaper or magazine story covering those comments. Not because I've linked to a blog or a messageboard.Again, perhaps the mainstream media has to step in and cover the furor because fans have gotten the ball rolling on their own sites, but it's still being covered by the REAL media.So while I agree with Mr. Barnhart that coaches are likely to become more guarded in what they say and that these booster club comments shouldn't bring down the wrath of God upon a coach's head, I also know that it's not just bloggers and fans who are pushing these stories.It's the REAL media, too. Yes, even "those of us in the business" who "learned a long time ago that the stuff said at booster meetings has to be taken with a grain of salt."As always, a thought-provoking piece from Mr. Barnhart.

There used to be respect & comraderie among Dooley, Shug, Charlie Mac, Bryant, Majors, etc. Now it is all dislike & disrespect. Publicly calling a fellow coach a "cheater" (without even knowing the facts) would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Now it's considered "energizing the fan base".

your "brethren" are to blame…especially the sensationalist d-bags like mike bianchi. finebaum is to blame, too.
and yes, you are correct, the coaches will now clam up…that is, all of them except for Wonder Boy Lane. He'll keep racking up quote as fast as he does secondary violations. And for any Vol fan that doesn't think those secondary violations are a gateway drug to major ones, you're kidding yourselves. he'll be shooting up the heroin infractions in no time…especially w/ orgeron on his staff.

The Big 12 coaches have been fun lately. Hawkins with his D1 speach, Stoops is always in the media promoting his Sooners, Gundy at Okie Lite defending his players and attacking the press and Leach is always good for something.
May 20th, 2009
9:35 am
What's sad is that there are many more examples. While it's fun to want to latch on and kill them for it, the stuff Kiffin said at his booster meeting and that Richt said at his were somewhat blown up as well. In my opinion, they're booster meetings…reckless things will be said. As a Florida fan it's really easy pickings to stick it to Lane for calling Urban out or to make fun of Richt and fellow Dawgs for crying about the JAX location, but at the end of the day, these guys were just talking to their fanbases. Can you imagine what else is being said that's not getting reported. I personally, had no problem w/ Richt, Lane, or anyone else's comments.
Ideally, I'd like to hear more of these coaches speaking off the cuff, because it's precisely the lack of it that makes them seem like prima donna's and not real people. Guarantee if we saw more of the 'normal' side, it would make things more interesting. Reality, however, is that it's not gonna happen. The media needs something to talk about during the offseason so this is just extra fodder. And fans, who usually unfairly dislike other coaches because they're the enemy, are gonna latch onto anything one of them says that furthers their argument.
Urban, Saban, Miles, SOS, Richt, etc. will always get labled as egotists, pansies, arrogant SOB's, idiots, cheaters, etc. as long as there are opposing fans. The truth is though, that every fanbase loves their guy and wants to disparage the others that are just as good and compete with them. If your guy isn't hated and/or talked about, it's probably because your team isn't envied or viewed as a threat.
It's D-1 SEC life/athletics folks, no matter what is said, we all know the same things have to happen to be successful in the environment and while there are different styles and circumstances, everyone of the great coaches in the league deals with the same issues and has to do the same sorts of things to succeed.

Poor ol' Ray….a good guy, but he was Spurrier's whipping boy for years. I'm sure Ray would have liked to whip Superior's a$$, but he had a lttle too much class to do so.
A little good-natured ribbing is fine, but these new genuises come off as arrogant and haughty, sometimes even spiteful.

I love how all sportswriters make "issues" out of things said by coaches and then try to blame the fans for drumming up criticism or turmoil. It's writers like YOU Mr. Barnhart that take what coaches say to heart and write about it. 90% of fans like myself hear what Meyer or Tiffin say and just laugh. It's the writers or the fool radio hosts like Finebaum that try to make an issue out of nothing. Even in a recent Finebaum article he states that coaches like Meyer and Saban have God complexes because they don't converse with reporters or fans. Gee, wonder why when it's the WRITERS that are delivering every bit of what they say and trying to make an issue out of it to make a name for themselves.

"I haven't won enough games to banter with anybody right now," [Spurrier] told The Myrtle Beach newspaper. "So when you're 7-5 and 7-6, which is about what we've averaged, you just try to worry about your team."
I look forward to Spurrier winning more games, so he can be released from self-imposed media exile.
All kidding aside, let's get some perspective here. There is a world of difference between Steve Spurrier's off-the-cuff observation about Urban Meyer's "dream job," and Lane Kiffin's seemingly serious accusations of recruiting violations against Meyer. The first was a good-natured tweak, the second could have landed Kiffin in court for slander. No small thing, and there's a reason why Kiffin quickly (if not so willingly) apologized—-no doubt under orders from UT's office of general counsel.
As for the so-called "god complex," it's only a difference in degree, not in kind, between Mark Richt telling UGA fans that he will make all personnel decisions regarding defensive Willie Martinez, and Meyer rallying the troops against what he thought was misplaced and unfair talk-show criticism from Shane Matthews. Sometimes, how we say things DOES matter.
As for this Gator, Spurrier, Meyer and Matthews all remain in my personal pantheon of Gator Greats. Now play nice, boys.

My two favorite Spurious moments: When Tennessee travelled to the Swamp at the end of 2001 (early SEP game cx'ed due to 9/11). The ol'ball coach had this to say after the game, "Tennessee – they were a little stronger I think around the line of scrimmage, and that was the difference in the game up front. One team ran it, the other one didn't."
The other was when he told his PK'er after a botched FG, (paraphrase) "Son, it's not your fault for missing it. It's my fault for believing you could make it."…For what it's worth, Coach Steve is a funny guy…
Archie Manning : Class act. Nuff said.
The Urban Cowboy : Lucky as all. IF Tebow and Spikes had decided to go Alabama, the Red Elephants would have been SEC Champs. It was just that close.

Very well put AU.
Not trying to needle anyone in particular, just some funny Spurrier quotes. I imagine these came from booster meetings. It's sad if this is the type of stuff we'll no longer get.
- When asked if his Florida team would beat Georgia one year, he responded with the question, "is Ray Goff still the head coach there?"
- "I know why Peyton came back for his senior year: he wanted to be a three-time Citrus Bowl MVP"
- In response to the Auburn dorm fire that burned 20 books: "But the real tragedy was that fifteen hadn't been colored yet!"
- "In 12 years at Florida, I don't think we ever signed a kid from the state of Alabama. Of course, we found out later that the scholarships they were giving out at Alabama were worth a whole lot more than ours."
- While at USCe, "How did we beat Tennessee this year?"…."The same way Vanderbilt did."

AU…..I can't stand PF and his manipulative opinions, I do agree with his article the giving those coaches absolute power will ultimately cause problems. I also think that his article was written to serve his own motives rather than for the love of the game. I also agree with Tony that some of the press and fans make too much out of every comment thus causing boring caution.

Neyland – I was at that game, absolute heartbreaker. Probably the most disheartening game I've attended the way UT ran the ball down our throats. We were all psyched about a potential trip to the Rose Bowl with a win in that game, but honestly, it probably didn't matter w/ the Miami juggernaut (I hate typing that) that ran through that season.

The second funniest is these idiotic ugag fans not realizing that chan gomer gailey is gone from Tech. If they had watched closely last November, that was a new sheriff in town that was kicking their sorry preseason #1 arses.

Faux "Atlanta Gator"—-I think I was pretty clear: I wrote "UNSHARED, UNDISPUTED Division I football championships." Let's look at the actual record, shall we?
Actually, Bear Bryant's Tide teams received national championship honors in six seasons during his 25-year-tenure as head coach: 1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978 and 1979.
Four of those championships were split or shared: 1964 (with Arkansas), 1965 (with Michigan State), 1973 (with Notre Dame) and 1978 (with USC).
Please feel free to laugh all you want, but those are the facts.
May 20th, 2009

I am really glad we don't have to hear anything from SOS. How great do you have to be to beat Goff and Donnan? Spurrier's arrival at UF coincided with the tremendous population explosion in Florida, and the improvement of high school coaching. And to ease 60years of frustration, he became a stand up comedian. He is a mediocre coach who has not won as many games as Holtz. Or Goff and Donnan in their first five years. I just wish we had shut him up in the 90s.

Roswell ED – No coach can ever be the Bear because of the 1966 NCAA Bear Bryant Rule limiting the Bear giving mens&girls basketball, track, pocketpool and etc. scholarships to football players so he could have more players.
The old guard of coaches were just as vocal, but we did not have the mass media we have today, plus the quality of the newspaper writers, radio, and TV sportscasters are far different because they knew what to write or report and what not to write or report.
I know it's not anything goes Friday, but you can see the change in news coverage since the WWII which we would have lost (like we did in Vietnam) with the liberal media coverage we have today!

Faux "Atlanta Gator"—-I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. And, no, Texas did not share national title honors with Florida at the end of the 2008 season. The Gators won the BCS championship game and were the consensus national champions in the AP poll, ESPN/Coaches poll and the vast majority of the other final media polls.
You can argue whether Texas was more deserving than Oklahoma, but the Big XII anointed Oklahoma as its conference champion, not Texas, and the Sooners' selection for the Big game flowed from that.
BTW, I'm more of a History Channel guy than an Animal Planet guy. Enjoy the stats.

Thanks for the kind words Georgia Gator. Recently moved with the wife from Atlanta to Charlotte and I've been a big fan of these blogs and posts from Neyland, Ros. Ed, Atl Gator, G8R Grad, and the rest of the classy posters. Now that I'm in the land of college bball where they think ACC football is the real deal, I have to get some exposure to real football fans.
The biggest stories here right now are Dale Jr.'s sock drawer, what the student manager at NC State thinks about Coach K, and some event going on at a racetrack named after a stupid home improvement store.
Man do I miss the SEC…

MISSION —The construction site of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 2 Mile Line and Bryan roads received its steeple placement on April 26.
Church member April Mantle watched as the steeple was put in place on the foggy Friday morning. She explained she comes from many generations who have been members of the Mormon religion.
"My husband and I both come from many generations, we both have Mormon ancestor pioneers," Mantle said.
Mantle was excited to see the steeple placed adding there is the need for a new structure to serve the area.
"We are so glad…the teenagers, kids between ninth- and 12th-grade, have seminary classes every school day at 6 a.m.," Mantle said. "This makes it so much easier for students and teachers…we don't have to drive to the church on 29th and Dove (streets)."
Project Superintendent Dan Ashment with Parkway Construction & Associates said the $3.8 million project covers 20,000 square feet.
"It has about 32 rooms…each room varies in size from small to large," Ashment said. "The church builds to population, the needs of the community at that time. There has been a lot of growth in the Mission and McAllen area."
Bryce Chandler explained the new church would house two congregations, nearly 450 people. Chandler added the church has been a long time coming and would be put to good use.
The new church is different in design with a lot of the budget designated for landscaping; the center of the church has also been designed to house a small garden with a water fountain, Ashement said.
Ashement does not reside in Mission but said he is part of the church in his home state of Wyoming. This allows him to have a better understanding of how the church should be made, and the needs of the different congregations in the area, he explained.
"Each congregation has its idiosyncrasies…they think 'How do we need the job done?' and 'This is how we will do it,'" Ashment said.

Citing uncertainty over whether Florida's Stand Your Ground law is about to change, the judge in Marissa Alexander's criminal case has delayed her trial until Dec. 1. Alexander, 33, is charged with three counts of aggravated assault after firing a shot in the direction of her estranged husband, Rico Gray, and his two young children during an argument.
Since my CounterPunch article last November which assessed the state of the movement against mass incarceration, the rumblings of change in the criminal justice have steadily grown louder. Attorney General Eric Holder has continued to stream his mild-mannered critique by raising the issue of felony disenfranchisement; the President has stepped forward with a proposal for clemency for people with drug offenses that could free hundreds.
Sen. Phillip P. Puckett, D-Russell, will announce Monday that he is resigning his state Senate seat, suddenly giving Republicans a 20-19 edge in the chamber and dealing a setback to Gov. Terry McAuliffe's push to expand Medicaid.
Puckett's stunning resignation throws Democratic budget strategy into chaos and opens the way for Republicans to seize control of the chamber and reorganize its committees with GOP majorities.
Two thousand miles lay ahead for the nearly 40 marchers who departed from Los Angeles in February and will arrive in Washington, DC, in November. Their feet tell the story of walking a thousand miles for climate justice. Their eyes look across the United States.
A new organization called ExposeFacts—backed by well-known source of The Pentagon Papers Daniel Ellsberg—is debuting itself in Washington, DC on Wednesday as a new place where government and corporate employees aware of wrongdoing can more safely and securely report their concerns.
Worker-owned co-ops got a boost on Monday when Independent Senator Bernie Sanders unveiled an initiative in Vermont that champions what many call "the new economy.""At a time when corporate America is outsourcing millions of decent-paying jobs overseas and with the economy continuing to struggle to create jobs that pay a livable wage, we need to expand economic models that help the middle-class," Sanders said during a press conference in Burlington. "I strongly believe that employee ownership is one of those models.
The telecommunications industry is creating and funding front groups which pose as consumer organizations and aggressively lobby to kill net neutrality, journalist Lee Fang revealed in an article published in Vice on Friday.
Emily was diagnosed with breast cancer just five months after she was laid off from her job as a software developer, right in the middle of the economic downturn in 2009. After her tumor was removed, she couldn't afford to keep paying for insurance coverage, so she skipped out on chemotherapy and radiation. The cancer came back. Emily is now dead.
Emily's primary care doctor says her story may have ended differently if she had been able to access coverage under Obamacare's optional Medicaid expansion. But she lives in Utah, where lawmakers have resisted implementing that policy, despite the fact that it's a central tenet of the health reform law.
"Labor priests" were a recognized presence in the labor movement of the 1920s through the 1960s. Father Barry, the Karl Malden character in the 1954 film "On the Waterfront," was the model of the priest who sided with workers.
Priests conducted Parish Labor Schools where workers interested in collective bargaining studied Catholic social justice doctrine, labor law, and parliamentary procedure.

Artist BioSublime was an American ska punk and alternative rock band from Long Beach, California, formed in 1988.[1] The band's line-up, unchanged until their breakup, consisted of Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums). Lou Dog, Nowell's dalmatian, was the mascot of the band. Michael 'Miguel' Happoldt and Marshall Goodman "Ras MG" contributed to and co-wrote several Sublime songs. Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996. In 1997, posthumous songs such as "Santeria", "Wrong Way", "Doin' Time", and "April 29, 1992 (Miami)" were released to U.S. radio.[2]95f5b748-d370-47fe-85bd-0af2dc450bc0

Pre-K 4 SA is growing by two education centers in the fall. That means construction will soon be underway as the public gets its first look at the new center designs.
The centers, said CEO Kathy Bruck, are still heaps of dirt. But leaders are giving the first look at the new centers, which will hold up to 350 students when school begins.
The new centers means that Mayor Julián Castro's vision will be fully operational in the program's second year.
San Antonio Metropolitan Health is opening Baby Café to help new and expectant mothers with breastfeeding.
The goal of the new center is to increase breastfeeding rates in San Antonio. It looks more like a massage parlor than a doctor's office and that's the point.
"It's a drop-in center that's got couches and places for women to sit back and enjoy themselves and feel at ease," said Jennifer Herriot, the assistant director of community health at MetroHealth.
A proposed $45 billion buyout of Time-Warner Cable would add more than 11 million internet subscribers and nearly the same number of cable subscribers to what was already the largest U.S. provider of both -- Comcast.
Big mega-deals are fairly commonplace in today's world, media consolidation has been rapidly occurring since deregulation in the mid nineties, so why is this any different?
Primary races are seeing their first votes come in but before the main events start to surface, Bexar county is being watched by the Republican Party of Texas as a the proving ground for the party's future.
As Texas becomes more diverse -- already a minority majority state -- the whiter of the two parties is hoping to make a competitive bid for San Antonio's vote, thinking as Bexar goes so goes the state.
Many of us may think of chamber choir music as formal and perhaps a bit stuffy. But after speaking to San Antonio Chamber Choir Board President Carl Leafstedt, maybe we've come to that conclusion too quickly. First, Leafstedt reminds us of exactly who they are and what they do.
"The San Antonio Chamber Choir is an organization of professional voices, it's a paid choir of many of the city's top voices" he said. "Our mission is to perform music that is not often performed in South Texas -- very difficult and unusual repertory sometimes, at the very highest levels."
President Barack Obama is in Mexico today for a day of trade talks with the other North American Free Trade Agreement partner nations. But while the expectations are low for the summit, the stakes remain ever high.
This is the seventh time that the three leaders of the NAFTA nations have gathered for a summit. This time Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto is hosting in Toluca with President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper attending.
The Texas Civil Rights Project, a statewide civil rights group, is putting pressure on law enforcement groups and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, asking them to create a standard "no-knock" written policy.
The Texas Civil Rights Project released a study this week pointing to a lack of uniformity when comes to police executing "no-knock" warrants -- when police enter a home without knocking for fear that doing so would cause the wanted person to flee or get rid of illegal drugs.
Early voting is underway for the Texas March 4 primaries and many incumbents around the state are seeing tea party-supported challengers -- that includes House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio.
Straus holds one of the most powerful positions in state government, but before he can be speaker he must win the Republican nomination for state representative.
Straus is challenged by tea party-supported Matt Beebe, who said Straus is not a true conservative.
A grassroots coalition of protestors gathered in front of the Bexar County Courthouse Tuesday to voice opposition to VIA's proposed downtown streetcar system.
Members of LULAC, the Tea Party and other organizations joined with numerous political candidates to protest the county's pursuit of the downtown streetcar system after they said the voters have spoken against it. Light rail has been voted down here, but the streetcar has not been put to a vote.
The San Antonio Botanical Garden and the Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum have teamed up for a project that all started with a pretty simple premise.
"Not everybody in San Antonio is going to be able to come to the museum to see contemporary art, so it's important to go out into the community," said Blue Star Director of Special Projects Bill Fitzgibbons.
So go out they did. They displayed art in a wide variety of places.
"Everything from St. Paul Square to the grounds of UTSA to the Botanical Garden," Fitzgibbons said.

The Croatian Startup Scene: A New Croatian Economy
Apart from having temperatures above 30˚C, Croatia is hot in many other ways – one of them being start-ups. Startup Wednesdays, Seedcamp and now GOAP (Geeks On A Plane) are all in on a new segment of the Croatian economy that's flourishing.
For years Croatia has been known for its well-educated and skilled people. Some of the world's most popular inventions have been made by Croats and people born in Croatia. Nikola Tesla? Check – he was born in Croatia. The tie a.k.a. the cravat – check, it was invented in Croatia. The torpedo – we owe this invention to Ivan Lupis. The parachute was invented by Faust Vrančić; the fingerprinting technique was invented by Ivan Vučetić and, finally, the first solid ink fountain pen was invented by Slavoljub Penkala.
Croatia also prides itself on several Nobel prize winners – but all of those inventions, innovators and champions have one thing in common: they are in the past.
So, what does the future hold for Croatia?
Recently, a major trend has been emerging – many people are setting up their own companies and taking on the startup challenge. Many of us, startup founders and / or CEOs, have been working outside Croatia and gathering experience and contacts and decided to return. I spent some time living in Denmark and after my career at Microsoft there I returned to Croatia and founded UX Passion, the company that gave birth to our Wall of Tweets. And today it seems that local talent has been noticed globally.
CRANE (Croatian Business Angles Network) and INI are co-organizers of regular Startup Wednesdays. Though being local in their nature, these events have helped many startups and founders to gain recognition and visibility. Last week Seedcamp was held in Zagreb for the second time, and Seedcamp has already invested in a couple of startups from Croatia – GIScloud and Farmeron. During Seedcamp, ZIP (Zagrebački inkubator poduzetništva / Zagreb Incubator of Entrepreneurship) was announced as the first co-working space supported by, among others, the University of Zagreb. And as if all of that were not enough, GOAP (Geeks On A Plane) have responded positively to all the buzz we've generated on Twitter and Facebook, and a really perfect gesture came from our president Mr. Ivo Josipović who used Facebook to invite Dave McClure and rest of the GOAP crew to Zagreb in September this year.
So, it's clear to see that there's lot of energy, buzz and positive ideas surrounding this community. And it's wonderful to see how many startups are working together and helping each other with ideas, advice and contacts. Also, having Netokracija (an internet business and culture web magazine) helps a lot to spread the word and ideas from all of us who are part of this New Croatian Economy.
But let's not fool ourselves and see everything through happy pink glasses – there are many obstacles for young entrepreneurs here in Croatia. Legislation is complex, the tax burden is one of the highest in the world (and I was living in Denmark, a country that once had the highest tax burden in the world, but we beat them), public services are slow and inefficient. Often times we are asked by government officials how the government can help us – and my answer is always the same: just don't make the things worse – don't try to help. In all fairness, the newly-elected government seems to be making some (slightly) positive changes and if nothing else, government officials are visiting a number of start-up and related events – but that's just not enough. We need more effective, simplified procedures, lower costs of doing business and more flexible work and labour legislation to ensure that we'll become and stay competitive.
In July next year Croatia will be finally joining the European Union. A huge, free and open market with numerous challenges – we, entrepreneurs from the New Croatian Economy will do our part of the job. It would be nice if the government would follow.
I'm proud to list UX Passion and Wall of Tweets among teams like Farmeron, GISCloud, WhoAPI, Once, Habbits, Shoutem, Salespod, Entrio, Spotie and many others. Great people and teams, wonderful ideas and projects with the potential to make meaningful contributions and changes globally – all this is what makes this New Croatian Economy so interesting. And hot.

Hey Vibor, interesting talk u gave on Wednesday. We started facebook.com/startupCroatia page to follow events and connect with people who see fun in innovating and collaborating. Come and Join ;)
I just hope all of these start ups don't end up in the Silicon Valley. What good are these so-called "Croatian Startups" if they leave the country. What kind of Croatian pride is this?
I think the startup community in Croatia should look up to Mate Rimac and Rimac Automobili as a role model.
These Geeks on a Plane and other similar events have their own hidden agenda when they arrive in Croatia and in all other countries they visit. They are there to network with potential portfolio expansion candidates with the intention of relocating them to the San Francisco Bay Area(Silicon Valley)
It is called Brain Drain….Something the Silicon Valley has perfected…They take advantage of emerging markets all around the world. This isn't something to brag about.

Examining power consumption in Linux
Green IT
How much power is your system really using? And how much can you actually save with the new generation of energy-conserving techniques and components? This month we study the phenomenon known as Green IT.
The new mobile work life and the rising cost of energy have caused a flurry of innovations to promote efficiency and reduce consumption. Laptop users want more life in a single charge, and IT managers want lower electricity bills for the server room. Much of the story with the power-saving movement is about virtualization, which we have already covered in several previous issues – and will surely cover again. This month, we decided to study some other pieces of the puzzle. Our primary focus is on energy use in the life of an everyday PC, however, we do return to the virtualization topic with our study of the phenomenon known as cloud computing.
In the leadoff article, Karsten Reich looks at some techniques for reducing power use. You'll learn which components use the most power, and we'll show you some tips for minimizing power usage.
Our next article turns to the server room for a look at cloud computing with Amazon's Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2). The recent phenomenon of cloud computing is causing a stir throughout the world of IT. By leasing virtual server space on an as-needed basis, you can operate your home network with fewer resources, thus saving power and equipment costs, and still provide the capacity for peak usage moments. Dan Frost offers a practical look at how to get started with creating and uploading a Linux image for Amazon's Elastic Cloud.
In the final article of the series, our monthly Q&A columnist Klaus Knopper runs some tests to study the power consumption of three common computers. Klaus also offers a few tricks for saving power, and he shows why the advertised energy-saving products might not really make a dent in your energy bill.
If you're looking for simple ways to save energy, or if you just want a solid methodology for understanding which components of your computer system use the most power, you're sure to find something useful in this month's Green IT cover story.

Calgary Flames defenceman Robyn Regehr has reportedly agreed to waive his no-move clause and accept a trade to the Buffalo Sabres.
The specifics of the trade are not yet known but forward Ales Kotalik is expected to be involved as well.
Regehr finished with 17 points and a plus-2 rating in 79 games this season. The 31-year-old defenceman has 163 points in 11 seasons.
The 32-year-old Kotalik spent last season between Calgary and the Flames' AHL affiliate Abbotsford, recording six points in 26 games in Calgary.
Regehr had originally held off on waiving his no-move clause to accept a trade to Buffalo but later changed his mind. Sabres owner Terry Pegula was reportedly very influential in Regehr's eventual decision.

By Andrea Gibb
At first, parents Laura and Mark don't see the warning signs: the bottles not taken to the bottle bank, the missing bank card, the tumbling grades at school. Then the terrible realisation dawns - their son, Danny, is an addict. He's always been the golden boy - not like his big brother, Paul, who has been a thorn in their side. Paul is moody and uncommunicative. Danny, on the other hand, has always been sunny and easy. And now he's in trouble.
This is a mother's story and as Danny spirals into drugs counselling and failed rehab treatment, his mum has to make the hardest decision of her life.
Andrea Gibb is the award-winning screenwriter of Dear Frankie and Afterlife and is currently working on a feature film version of Swallows and Amazons for television, an original feature, ATLANTIC BRIDGE, an adaptation of Rose Tremain's MUSIC AND SILENCE for BBC.
Produced and directed by Gaynor Macfarlane.

Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto Returns to the Top of the Podium at RedBud
Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto Returns to the Top of the Podium at RedBud
Irvine, Calif., (July 8, 2013) – Round 7 of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship was a weekend of celebration as Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto swept the 450 class on Saturday to cap off the Fourth of July weekend at the 40th year of RedBud MX in Buchanan, Mich. Villopoto extended his points lead to 42 over the field by pushing the limits and battling to a 1-1 performance in front of an outstanding crowd of patriotic fans. Weimer fought through the field to finish ninth overall. The Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki squad conquered the rough and rutted track with defending champion Blake Baggett staying in the title hunt finishing ninth overall, while Adam Cianciarulo finished 12th, Darryn Durham 14th, and Justin Hill 18th in the 250 class. Sitting out the day was Tyla Rattray who after setting a top-10 qualifying time, was unable to line up for the motos due to a crash in practice, and Martin Davalos who will return for Washougal.
For the Fans
Following two straight weeks of second place finishes, Villopoto returned to dominance at RedBud with his 10th and 11th moto wins to take his fourth overall win of the season. The points leader overcame a less than ideal start in the first moto, making quick passes and took over the lead on lap four. The second moto saw Villopoto stalk the leader on his KX™450F and forced him to get creative with his line choices. After some near contact, slicing and dicing Villopoto took the lead through the treacherous sand whoops. The racing was intense and the fans were on their feet every lap.
"We look forward to coming to RedBud for a reason," said Villopoto. "The track is one of the best and the racing proved that today. There were multiple lines, which allowed us to push the boundaries and ride at our full potential. On top of that, the fans are like no other. Aside from Motocross of Nations, the crowd at the podium was the biggest and craziest I've ever seen."
Fighting Forward
On a track as technical and rough as RedBud, riders must be able to not only race the track but also be aggressive. This is what Weimer credited to be being the difference from the front-runners and the rest of the pack. Weimer had two great starts but a crash in one moto and not being aggressive enough in the other left him with ninth overall. In the 250 class, Baggett, Durham, Hill, and Cianciarulo fell victim to the same issues. Durham and Cianciarulo both suffered crashes while riding within the top-10, while Baggett could not close the gap on the leaders after coming through the field.
"This track is so gnarly," said Weimer. "The jumps are big and the dirt is so soft that it can swallow you up. At this level, you have to be able to push the limits on the track to be fast and then you have to push beyond that to make any passes. My Kawasaki got me two great starts but I got caught up in trying to be super aggressive and started making mistakes; and mistakes at his track can be costly. I rode alright, but I know I have more."
Michigan tends to bring the heat for RedBud with high temperatures and humidity, but this year it was the track conditions that were the most challenging. The track conditions varied as the track snaked up and down the hills. The bottoms of the valleys had multiple deep, loamy ruts, while the top of the hills feature a much harder clay, forcing riders to be on their toes at all times. The rough conditions make RedBud one of the most enjoyable and difficult tracks on the championship tour.
Sea of Green
The fans at RedBud were so fired up that Monster Energy Kawasaki provided them with Monster Energy Kawasaki green rally towels for them to show their enthusiasm. As Villopoto let out a "RedBuuuud!" from the top of podium, the fans all waved their green towels creating a sea of green racing fans, who raged with excitement as they awaited the points leader to shower them in winning champagne.
The series takes a one-week hiatus before Round 8 takes Monster Energy Kawasaki up to the Pacific Northwest in Washougal, Wash. Villopoto may be the hometown hero, but he has never won the overall at Washougal and will look to change that. Davalos and Rattray will return under the Pro Circuit awning and the rest of the team will take advantage of the weekend off in order to come out swinging when the series resumes Saturday, July 20th.
