It was a nice beginning of the week here in Bronx, NY. Sun & Mon were nice, in the 60's, but had to work at the golf course instead of play. Yesterday I played in a short sleeve shirt. Sometimes I don't know what's harder, working at the course or playing.
Hey, OUTIGER, I was playing the golf course right next to the soccer complex -- two great facilities owned by the city of Overland Park.
It was beautiful in Kansas City -- 77 degrees at 3 p.m. last Saturday!
More bonus golf yesterday (Wednesday), today and through the weekend here in Michigan -- too bad I have to referee about 10 hockey games starting tomorrow (Friday) morning -- hope to sneak in a few more rounds this year.
Another bonus golf weekend in the Midwest? They are calling for high fifties Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving -- I am calling for tee times!

Golfchick, you are in the right part of the midwest, calling for snow here on Thanksgiving! Season in Milwaukee is now OVER! : (
We'll be heading back to IA for Christmas earlier than planned, but hope the weather there is at least warm enough to get some golf in, if only on the range. Got to stay in shape for when we come back down here. I am currently in charge of the golf group here and if I don't keep up my game, I hear about it.
Don't be sad shaun, just get some blaze orange gear (don't want to be mistaken for a dear on the golf course, season opens this week.) and chains for the golf cart. This time of year I play with the balls that I have saved all summer long with little scuffs on them so if they get lost in a pile of snow or under some leaves, I don't get too upset.
Still very pleasant here in Nebraska as well. No show in the forecast and upwards of 60 for the holiday weekend. Cold today, 45* high but I haven't quite got my winter skin ready so I am always cold. In January, 45* would feel like summer, you'd probably see some people in shorts!
The weather in the Memphis area has been awesome for golf over the past 4 or 5 weekends. Highs in the mid to high 60s and lows in the 50s. We've been due since the summer was filled with rain - records were set for rain this summer. However, the rain had a great effect on the courses. They are in great shape right now. I think we'll probably hit our cold streak soon and I'll have to hope for the occassional good day to sneak away to the course.
the outlook isn't good here in michigan for this weekend coming. but i'm not ruling it out just yet. who knows it might be acceptable, if it is, i'm out there.

Morning fire displaces 24 in West Lebanon apartment building
No one was injured.
Firefighters were called to the two-story building at 81 Seminary Hill Road about 9 a.m. for a report of smoke coming from the 12-unit building.
Lebanon police found light smoke throughout the first and second floors and the basement. Police evacuated all residents while firefighters discovered a small fire under the front stairwell in a basement apartment.
"The fire was quickly extinguished, but due to the location and wood charring above the area of fire, the area required extensive overhaul to ensure there was no fire extension," a fire department official said.
There was minor smoke and water damage.
"Due to the extensive damage to the front stairwell, all 24 tenants have been displaced until repairs can be made," the fire department official said.
The Vermont/New Hampshire Chapter of the Red Cross assisted with residents' temporary lodging and other needs.
The road was closed for about an hour. Firefighters cleared the scene at 10:24 a.m.
Hanover and Hartford, Vermont fire departments assisted. Enfield provided station coverage.
The fire is under investigation but is not considered suspicious.

"I don't know if it's a game changer. I think only time will tell what the full impact will be," says Howard Smith, dean of PSU's College of Education.
"I think it's a more liberal opening than we've had. We've had alternative paths and alternative delivery mechanisms before. But it was still a formalized training process," says Smith.
But Kansas teachers in grades eight through twelve no longer have to have a degree in teaching. The Kansas State Board of Education will allow someone with a bachelor's degree and at least five yeas of related work experience to teach. For example, a science industry worker with five years of experience could teach science in high school.
"I think it's good for them to get real world experience. And I think some of the people who've been in those fields can provide that," says Kaley Warner, a parent.
The state board of education wants to help school districts, like USD 247 in Cherokee, fill voids.
"Seasonally, depending on when openings occur, we can have a hard time trying to find some of the upper echelon math and science teachers, particularly, says Glenn Fortmayer, superintendent of USD 247.
Fortmayer is willing to take advantage of the new state standards. But he would want non-certified teachers at his school district to study for a teaching degree, at the expense of the school district.
"We have to meet the needs of the kids," says Fortmayer.
But without a teaching degree, teachers may not understand the psychology of students.
Smith says, "One of the things that this program has in front of it that's yet to be realized, is do these folks that think they want to teach, do they really understand what they're getting into?"
So a question still stands: How important is a specific degree? The test is ongoing.
This new standard takes effect July 1. We are being told the Pittsburg School District will still require teachers with a teaching degree. Click here to see documents from the Kansas State Board of Education and learn more about the new standard.

I don't even like jalapeno peppers and these were absolutely delicious. I didn't change a thing. The heat is just fine for my hubby and those who are used to that pepper's heat, but it was nice to read from other reviewers how to decrease the heat. Next time, I might do half just as they come out and half a little milder by cooking the pepper a bit first. This recipe is a keeper!

mmasten Posted: 06/26/09
These are sooooo good. We have already made them 3 times since the recipe came out in late May. So good and so easy to make!
winegirl308 Posted: 05/31/09
I am with Nancy on this. The jalepenos were just too hot, even after I completely seeded them and removed all the whites on the inside. I will try them again with a slightly milder pepper.
JenniferB08 Posted: 11/01/09
This is a great alternative to the usual football/sporting event snack. Tasty with a little heat and suprisingly easy!
hwinte87 Posted: 03/06/10
These were really yummy! I made these for a game night, and they were definitely a hit! To curb on the spiciness of the pepper, I rinsed them after seeding. I also took someone else's suggestion and cooked the peppers alone for about 5 minutes before adding the cheese mixture. I recommend doubling the cheese mixture, because the amounts completely depend on how large the peppers are. I only had enough cheese mixture for 13.5 of the peppers, and I had added an extra 2oz of cream cheese. The leftover cheese mixture could be used for crackers, etc. Also, I used crumbled goat cheese to save a little and it worked very well. Overall really enjoyed these little poppers and will definitely make them again!
Denise001 Posted: 07/17/09
We live in the Caribbean and our jalepenos are quite hot - too hot for some friends, but perfect for us who love heat. In place of the parmesan, I marinated some tomato, basil feta in olive oil and used it instead. It was a great complement.
Chell962 Posted: 07/18/10
Excellent and a huge hit at the Fourth of July potluck we attended! They are as hot as you want them to be... for less heat, take out the peppers and the veins, for more heat, leave a bit more vein, for lots of heat, leave a few seeds! We actually had left-overs the first time I made them and they were great cold too!
mirandam4 Posted: 12/30/09
I made this recipe for a birthday party and there were none left. I soaked the jalapenos in a bowl of water overnight so that they weren't overly hot. Most people commented on how much they liked this recipe. I'll be making these again for my New Year's Eve party tomorrow.
Jessie123 Posted: 07/04/09
These were delicious. I made sure my peppers weren't too hot before I made them and they turned out fabulous. Everyone at the party ate them up. I used 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese instead of fat free. My husband's only complaint was balancing them on the grill but they were worth the balancing act. They'll definitely be made again. The sage in them was perfect.
Andreakay Posted: 06/21/10
These are outstanding, I did alter a bit. I added cilantro instead of sage and added a cup of cojita cheese instad of parmesan. I thought 16 may be too many but they were gone in 10 min. Next time I will double the receipe. Also any leftover cheese spread was awesome in carnitas tacos!
skspillman Posted: 07/26/09
Made these this weekend for a small crowd and they went over great. I used shredded cheddar cheese instead of parmesan but otherwise followed recipe exactly (I also made them indoors on a grill pan, in three batches). These are *very* spicy. I ran out of filling before I put the third batch of peppers in the pan, so I made some more using everything but the goat cheese--these were good too (although I did like the ones with goat cheese better). The leftover filling was good on tortilla chips too.
Skipper Posted: 05/29/09
OMG! I too made this Memorial Day Weekend. Made them a second time to make sure they were as good the second time around. The worst thing is deseeding the peppers. That was rough. But the flavors were FABULOUS!!! We loved them! Getting ready to make them again!!!!!
Kristing Posted: 08/10/09
Delicious! This is a favorite go to snack when we want something spicy. A great way to use those farmer's market jalapenos! The cheese tempers the heat of the peppers.
NancyVA Posted: 05/27/09
I made these for Memorial Day appetizer and shared with another couple. We all agreed that they would have been better used with a milder pepper than the jalapeno peppers. A suggestion from one of my guests was they would be good with the jalapeno diced into small pieces, added to the cheese mixture and put into a puff pastry mini cup. I would try this recipe again, but use a milder pepper like the recipe suggested.
Patty46 Posted: 02/04/11
The key is to devein and deseed them first. You can heat them first in a pan with some lemon avocado oil, salt and sugar, then stuff them. I have made my own version of these for years and I think they are better.
fullmoon Posted: 06/24/09
These are awesome! We didn't find them overly spicy--my 12 year old devoured them! Must be a difference in jalapenos. I didn't change anything in the recipe and we like the filling so much we are going to use it as a spread. These will be great for our next get-together.
laebrown Posted: 06/21/09
WAAAY way way way too spicy. Must have got my hands on some real ripe ones because these were completely inedible. Hoping to salvage the topping by spreading on some celery/crackers and the jalepenos by integrating them into my other Tex-Mex/Mexican dishes. I'm a spicy food-eater, and I couldn't even handle these ones. Would not reccomend for a party - the physical aftermath of these is bound to not be too pretty.
GeeLisa Posted: 06/13/09
Took this to a picnic tonight and received positive feedback. I followed the recipe with the exception of the sage. It seemed a bit out of place in the recipe and a previous reviewer mentioned that it was too much, so I cut the amount to half of what was called for. Also, I only had enough filling for 14 pepper halves. The flavor and the amount of filling was good balance to the heat of the pepper. I definitely would make this again.
britchick Posted: 01/06/10
ctodd1 Posted: 06/03/09
This was a big disappointment. The sage tasted so strong, even though I didn't add all that the recipe called for. I will not be making this again.
bmb1112 Posted: 09/19/10
Wonderful, scrumptious, divine and delicious. Only change I made was to substitute shredded cheddar for the goat cheese and left in just a little of the white vein on the jalapeno to add some heat. I will make these over and over again. They were the rave of the party. I also included them in our Saturday night finger food ritual.
TonyFowlie Posted: 08/26/09
Wear gloves when seeding the jalapenos if you're a contact lens wearer 8-o These are excellent! Made them for a party, and everyone loved them! Will happily make these for any party!
RedRaider Posted: 06/20/09
This definitely a "keeper." I have made similar dishes with plain cream cheese as the stuffing and wrapping the pepper with bacon. However this was a nice change of pace. I did add a can of crab meat to the stuffing. I also found some various colored small peppers that I used in addition to the jalapeno. Made for a nice presentation.
Cookie115 Posted: 06/19/09
These are absolutely fantastic! I love spicy food and took them to a cookout that was 50% men and they devoured them. What a fantastic way to have a jalepeno popper without the deep fried greasiness. They are quite spicy, but I think the cheese really helps mellow the spice. Don't forget to wear gloves will chopping this many peppers...yikes!
dasheill Posted: 08/08/09
I've made these twice. Once for home and once for a large heavy grazing party for about 60 people. They were fabulous. Yes, they are hot, but they are jalapenos! The same filling would be good in small sweet peppers for those who don't like heat. the grilling makes them unique. I did use fresh sage leaves from my garden and thought it added something a little different. Don't want to overdo the sage, it can be assertive.
SarahM21 Posted: 09/11/09
These are great! I used shredded cheddar cheese because I didn't have goat cheese on hand, and I cut the amount of sage based on other reviewers' suggestions. Be careful not to overstuff the peppers or the cheese will melt over the edges.
MegDesmond Posted: 02/06/11
Fantastic, not too hot, but lots of flavor. Could not stop eating them!! Will be making these things again & again.
LTDawkins Posted: 09/22/09
We love the Pepper Poppers. We have made them twice and highly recommend them. I did change a few thing for our taste, I sub extra cream cheese, insteat of the goat cheese and used 5 italian cheese instead of the parm. the second time i added onion, instead of the green onion. My husband love them and they are so easy. The poppers work great on the grill or stove top.
1323kk Posted: 01/26/10
I made these a while ago as a sub for frozen jalapeno poppers. They are awesome, way better than the frozen deep fried ones! I'm making them for super bowl next week! I used dried sage instead of fresh and not a lot of it. For those who are saying they are too hot there is an easy fix. Just cook them longer. I actually did them in the oven the first time(next week I will probably use a grill) and I cooked the peppers for a few minutes before I stuffed them, then stuffed them and continued cooking. The longer the peppers cook, the milder they will be. Next time I will probably use laughing cow cheese instead of the ff cream cheese because it has a better texture. These really are great though!
MeMyselfAndPie Posted: 11/18/10
Very hot, but very good. I was practically torturing myself, shoving them into my mouth, even though they burned like acid! I definitely recommend baking the peppers in the oven first, then stuffing and grilling for your tongue's sake. But definitely make them. They're awesome. Step-by-step photos on my blog: http://tinyurl.com/245mgmb
azcoyote Posted: 05/27/11
Made this for a small family gathering. Five of us polished these off with no problem and wished there were more. I didn't change a thing but can see where a little experimenting wouldn't hurt. Maybe a little sharp cheddar instead of the parmessan - I'm sure someone else already thought of this.
gtg599y Posted: 09/30/11
One of my favorite tailgating recipes! We wrapped each one in half a slice of raw bacon before throwing them on the grill and they were a huge hit. A little time consuming to de-vein the peppers but well worth it.
TrishRed Posted: 09/09/11
Everyone we make these for asks for the recipe or for me to bring them again. We've also done them with a combination of sweet peppers and hot so everyone can enjoy!
ChefJenn Posted: 10/25/11
These are AMAZING! And definitely the hit of the football game! I used 1.5x the ingredients for the cheese mixture, but also had a few extra peppers to stuff. Omitted the cilantro completely because I think it's horrible. The only thing that took a long time was cutting and de-veining the peppers. The rest is fairly easy. They weren't hot whatsoever so I might actually leave some veins/seeds in next time. Even the people that despise heat were devouring these. Everyone was raving about the recipe, can't wait to make this again!
Nancy91361 Posted: 04/09/12
I love this recipe! Have made it several times for friends and it's always a hit! It is also a great treat to take on camping trips. Just prep everything at home, stuff and grill the peppers at the campsite. Pretty high-end camp appetizers! Every once in a while, I'll run into a super hot jalapeno, but I find that the larger peppers tend to be more mild than the smaller ones, so I pick carefully. I also prefer regular cream cheese over non-fat and I use a romano/parmesan cheese mix over straight parmesan. I really don't think you can do wrong with this recipe!
TeamCraig Posted: 08/15/12
I make this recipe for cookouts during the summer. Everyone loves it because the jalepenos are not hot. I also make up a batch of the filling and grill just a few at a time for dinners at home.
Beeswax9 Posted: 05/15/13
These were a huge hit at an outdoor birthday cookout. I prepared them at home (where I don't have a grill) and actually baked them in a 425 degree oven for about 25-30 mins, or until the cheese had browned a bit on the top. Cheeses can be a little on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. Great flavor.
1emeraldcook Posted: 10/01/13
It helps to par-boil for about 3 min to reduce heat and soften skin. To make it easier to remove the white membrane, use an apple corer and just scrape the round cylinder along the membrane. These bad boys just vanish.
Recabecabooboo Posted: 07/13/13Escondido , CA
These were good but a little bit of work to cook on the grill. In a pinch, make the filling and add chopped jalapeño, heat and serve as a dip...needs something else, but not sure what; maybe something sweet; like a small dripping of jalapeño pepper jelly on top? I would make again, but I'm still in search for my favorite "healthy" version of a Jalapeño popper...
joness Posted: 07/10/14
not as good as the other CL recipe with bacon, lime juice and cilantro. I prefer a light cheddar/jack shredded cheese over parmesan.

I would think that they would only make Chaos Orbs BoE when a new orb for crafting shows up - yes we have Living Ember, but these recpies still require Chaos Orbs. Just like when Runed Orbs came out, and you could trade 4 Frozen for one Runed - This makes sense because people will start to farm, and Chaos orbs are no longer making the BiS gear (ATM they don't make BiS but the 365 Weapons aren't bad at all, espeically if your guild isn't raiding Firelands yet. We're talking T11.5 iLvl) But until then Chaos Orbs are still going to be BoP - if they do go BoE though expect the prices on all of those 359/365 Craftables to fall like a friggin' ROCK.

Love Where You Live: 3 Tips from a Professional Organizer
Apartment Therapy Video Roundup
Yesterday was Valentine's day, so a lot of us have love on the brain. This installment of our video roundup is all about loving the place in your life that's most important to you — your home. Maybe your relationship with your home has soured a bit over the years, or maybe it's never been that great to begin with. Maybe you really like where you live, but there are still a few things you'd like to fix. Professional organizer Amelia Meena has some quick tips for making the place you live right now into a home you really love.
This has to be one of my favorite One Minute Tips of all time, for its simplicity and for its genius. Amelia's advice about living within your means is all about recognizing the limits of your current space, and learning to live joyfully with them. Instead of lamenting that your closet is too small, try thinking critically about whether or not you really need all the things in said closet. Sometimes, changing your mindset is everything.
Now that you've watched the video above, you might be inspired to give a bunch of stuff away. Here's Amelia's advice on the best ways to give things away.
And finally, here's a tip that ran on Valentine's day last year: a sweet reminder that if you love your home, it will love you back.
• The Star: Amelia Meena moved to New York City in a roundabout way from Kentucky, bringing only 2 suitcases and dreams of Broadway. Nearly a decade later, she's sung onstage, acted on screen, and has found the best thing about organization is efficiency (it's gone up to 4 suitcases now but that's still pretty good for city living). Her company, Appleshine, Lifestyle Organization, has helped men, women, families, and businesses clear out clutter and make the most of their space. When she's not Appleshining someone's lifestyle, she's running in Central Park, playing violin with a bluegrass band, catching up on reading for her 2 book clubs, or wandering around The Container Store.

Thanks for the tip on freecycle.org, Amelia! For selling your clothes, I've recently discovered thredUP (www.thredup.com) and Twice (www.liketwice.com). They'll mail you a free, postage-paid bag for you to send in good condition clothing you don't wear anymore. After taking a look at your items, they'll send you an offer for the pieces they'd like to buy for their online consignment shops. If you don't like the offer, you can pay a minimal fee to have your items shipped back to you. If you accept the offer but they don't buy all your clothes, those leftover items are donated to charities. As someone who lives in a city without access to a car, this is a great option for selling clothes (without the individual hassle of selling each piece on eBay) and donating the rest.
Love that first video…live within your means. When I start to feel like there's too much stuff in my house, I purge. Often I do it while the kids are at school, otherwise, they want to keep (almost) everything. Sometimes, I just fill a couple bags or boxes with stuff, then wait a couple weeks to see if they miss it. If not, it gets donated to the local Christian Help store. This works for me, and I've only had one incident where my daughter asked, "Where is my…?"
And as for me, I only struggle with items that have sentimental value…otherwise, I'm pretty good about paring down my stuff. Also, not that we are in our own house, we strive to only fill it with things we love, rather than just settling for something we need.
My local humane society has a thrift store and I love donating items there, because I know all the proceeds are going to the cats and dogs. Plus I can't believe the tax benefit.
"Live within your means!" So obvious, yet until I saw this video I only applied the sage advice to money, not space or time or energy. This is a great way of thinking about lots of areas.
I love these tips! (Especially living within your means) The candle on the bed was stressing me out, though.
@Rhea Abahazy- totally! that was hair-raising. great tips though, especially the living within your means one. i clean house for a lady and constantly think how nice her space could be if it was within its means. I'm too shy to say anything though.
rlmebane, I would caution against throwing your kids' stuff away without telling them. I know I was traumatized by this as a child! It think it contributed to my mild hoarding tendencies (which I battle by regularly watching Extreme Hoarders episodes back-to-back while I purge my house). They may not notice that things are missing within a few weeks, but this practice could contribute to a general feeling when they are grown that things they like will just "disappear" if they don't cling to them. There are probably ways to help them develop the skills you are developing in letting go of stuff. I mean, if you, and adult, have a difficult time with sentimental attachment to objects, how do you think your children feel? That "only one time" that your daughter asked "where is my...? could be felt as a real loss for years to come. Just my tow cents!
@baba yaga - I have talked to my kids about giving some of their things away to kids who really need them. My one daughter is older now and understands this. But honestly, there are people constantly giving them gifts, even when I ask that they don't, so there are always new things coming into the house. With three kids, that's a lot of stuff that they quickly can lose interest in, then it's not being played with. I know there are plenty of kids out there that have nothing, so I use my judgement on whether or not I think they'll miss it. I'm not talking about giving away their favorites, most played with, or their most sentimental items. I promise. Also, we have a huge collection of children's books and magazines, and once a year, I pile stacks of the ones I think they've outgrown or lost interest in, and I go through them with my daughter and my son together. Then I give them to the daycare to either add to their library or give away.
Thanks for your kind answer. I promise, I wasn't making assumptions about your judgement, I guess the topic just sets me off. Sounds like you got it covered!
No worries, baba yaga! :)
I really enjoyed this, and it helped me deal with a current worry in the storage department. Being back in school has actually curbed my need to buy things, mainly because I'm so busy keeping up with assignments that I don't have time for much else. Also, seeing what students are paying for one- and two-bedroom apartments in the medium-sized town where my university is, I feel incredibly grateful for my sturdy brick fixer-upper a few miles away -- rent is twice my mortgage! Makes me understand why some parents just buy a condo for their kids.
Why haven't I thought of this - throw everything out, and fill my space with CANDLES, FLOWERS! Shiny, shiny!
Any information on the floral/scrip prints on the wall in the first photo? Where to buy?

Editor's Note: There is a more recent story about Drive 4 UR School. Click here to read the latest post.
Budget cuts in the education system are always hard to hear about. Many of us may feel a bit helpless wishing there was something we could do. Turns out there is. Just test-drive a Ford at a Drive one 4 UR School event in your area in April and you can help your local high school raise funds.
The Drive one 4 UR School program is not a new concept – it's actually a five-year-old initiative that has already raised more than $10 million through nearly 3,000 events. Schools have used this money to fund educational programs ranging from athletics to music, even to fix damages from natural disasters!
But in April, Ford and its dealers are taking on a special challenge: raise a cool $1 million for education through 300-plus events across the U.S. in a single month. Although, Drive one 4 UR School is a year-long program, now is the time to keep an eye out for these events in your area so you can help Ford, its dealers and, yes, the high schools raise money for educational programs.
Dealers provide the vehicles for test-drives, while the high school helps organize the event. Both work together to get the word out to their community. For every valid test-drive completed, Ford will donate $20 to the participating high school, up to $6,000. Here's how you can help:
Visit this link to find a DO4URS event happening in your area.
Help us spread the word by fanning the DO4URS Facebook page or liking or retweeting this article.
Here are just a few of so many stories where Ford and Drive one 4 UR School are making a difference for participating high schools coming up this month:
O'Connell College Preparatory School, Galveston Island, TX (partnering with Classic Ford):
The residents of Galveston Island are still trying to fully recover from Hurricane Ike, which struck in 2008. O'Connell College Preparatory School lost millions of dollars in books, technology, equipment, furniture, fixtures and vehicles, and damages were caused to the school's library, cafeteria and locker rooms.
Prestonburg High School, Ivel, KY (partnering with Freedom Ford):
In early spring, a few schools in the Prestonburg area were badly damaged by tornadoes. Prestonburg High School forfeited its scheduled Drive One 4 UR School event and instead donated their event to neighboring Magoffin County High School which required financial assistance to recover from storm damages. To recognize the generosity of Prestonburg High School, Ford granted Freedom Ford a second event to benefit Prestonburg High School.
North Hartford High School, Pylesville, MD (partnering with Plaza Ford Inc.):
This year North Hartford High will use funding from their Drive One 4 UR School event to finish its long-awaited stadium project, adding concession amenities and locker room improvements for both the home and visiting teams.

Rockstar: GTA V launch delays are not a conspiracy
American life must be so boring for a lot of people, since so many of them are willing to indulge the idea that nothing is simple, and everything has a sinister, insidious plot behind it. Not even something so innocuous as a game's release date can escape scrunity, with Rockstar having to deny conspiracy involving Grand Theft Auto V.
"To those of you saying or seeing various conspiracy theories about there being some other ulterior motive for this delay, rest assured that they're all nonsense -- literally the only reason we've delayed the release is because we want the game to be as good as it needs to be," said Rockstar, if that IS the studio's real name! "For those of you asking about the official box art, that will be coming out a bit later as well."
GTA V is due September 17, which Rockstar admits is, "about four months later than originally planned." It's apologized for disappointment among fans, but that's not been good enough for some. Rockstar says it's had to deal with "abusive comments" in the wake of the delay.
Games get delayed, like, all the time. GTA V has a large and dedicated following, but that doesn't make it somehow immune to postponement. It's weird that people are getting so vicious and alarmist about it. It'll be okay, guys!

How To Stock a Vegetarian (or Vegan) Pantry
Alongside the usual savory and sweet items that every pantry needs, there are a few ingredients that are particularly useful for vegetarians or those wanting to eat more meatless meals. As a lifelong (since age five) vegetarian and sometime vegan, here are the items that I like to keep on hand for protein, texture, and flavor. Of course, each household's pantry will vary according to personal taste, ethnic background, and food allergies. Let us know what you would include in the comments.
• Beans. Though I like to keep a variety of dried or canned beans, I always make sure my pantry has at least two: lentils and chickpeas. Lentils cook quickly and are great additions to soups, pilafs, and salads. I like to throw chickpeas into pasta dishes and vegetable braises and stews. Pinto, black, kidney, and cannellini beans are also good to have on hand.
• Tempeh. Once you know how to prepare it, tempeh can be one of the best staple sources of protein. It can be refrigerated for a week or two (check the date on the package) and will keep up to several months in the freezer.
• Tofu. Like tempeh, tofu is not strictly a pantry item, but it's an essential for vegetarian kitchens. I like to keep blocks of refrigerated extra firm tofu for baking and frying, vacuum-packed silken tofu to blend into dressings and puddings, and dried tofu for soups and stir-fries. Stay tuned for a tofu post later this month.
• Grains. Using a variety of grains lends nutrition, texture, flavor, and interest to vegetarian meals. I like to keep my pantry stocked with brown rice, white rice, quinoa, spelt, farro, millet, and bulgur.
• Nuts. I always have almonds and cashews and try to keep pistachios and pine nuts around, too. Whole or chopped nuts can be used in salads and grain dishes. Ground nuts can add body to lasagna. And there's always pesto. Extend the life and freshness of nuts by keeping them in the freezer.
• Dried fruits. Raisins, dried apricots, dates, etc. are not only great for snacking but they can add interest to grain dishes, vegetable braises, and sautéed greens.
• Vegetable stock. I prefer to make stock from scratch and keep it in the freezer. But if you don't have the time or inclination, Better than Bouillon is a great option.
• Nutritional yeast. I've sung the praises of nutritional yeast before, and it can be used in sauces, as a coating for tofu, and sprinkled on potatoes and popcorn.
• Miso. I like to keep both light and dark miso paste in the refrigerator for different degrees of savoriness, but if I had to choose just one, it would be the mellow white variety. Miso makes excellent soup as well as dressings for salad, vegetables, and tofu.
• Tahini. Tahini or sesame paste often works in conjunction with miso in my kitchen. A quick tahini-miso sauce (try adding lemon juice and garlic, too) can be poured over steamed vegetables, tofu, or tempeh for simple weeknight dinners.
• Dried sea vegetables. I like to keep several kinds of seaweed, from sheets of nori that can be wrapped around rice and vegetables, to kelp/kombu that adds flavor to broth, to hijiki that can be reconstituted and used in salads and vegetable dishes.
What else would you add to this list?

I have everything in the kitchen right now but nutritional yeast. I am curious about the BTB, but need to see if the ingredients contain anything I am allergic to.
that's a good starter list.
other things I keep:
tomato paste
pomegranate molasses
tamarind puree (found at indian grocers)
rice vinegar
vital wheat gluten (for making seitan)
whole wheat pastry flour
earth balance margarine- tub and sticks
whole wheat couscous
pretty much; the ingredients to making my favorite ethnic dishes; which are naturally vegetarian and easy to make vegan.
I'd add flax seeds -- they're super nutritious and can be used as egg replacers, too. Just grind them up in a clean coffee grinder and add it to shakes, oatmeal, salad dressings, or whatever to get more healthy omega-3s. Same goes for other seeds, like raw sunflower and pumpkin - I keep them in the freezer to keep them fresh and not rancid. They're great for snacking or adding flavor to pasta dishes or salads.
Also, plain, unsweetened soymilk in aseptic containers are nice to have around. I usually buy mine at the Asian grocer since it's much cheaper than the grocery store. I make my oatmeal with it for a protein kick and add it to soups and sauces for creaminess. And there's always cereal!
This is what I like to keep around:
-Pinto beans, for making quick refried beans, which is a staple in my diet.
-At least 7 containers of tofu at a time
-Soy Vanilla Yogurt, Soy Milk, Earth Balance
-Mexican Fideo, for a quick tomato soup
-Tortillas, El Milagro-lots and lots, best tortillas in Chicago
And most of the things you listed.
But if I didn' have beans, rice and tortillas, I would go crazy.
I never would've guessed that I'm especially dependent on processed foods in contrast to other vegetarians, but here's my additions to the list:
Newman's Own tomato sauce
whole wheat dried pasta
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
chili oil
Morning Star Farms ground beef substitute
risotto rice
Nice list. I always like to see what other people consider "essential" to their pantry. I still haven't ventured into nutritional yeast or miso. Perhaps I should make that one of my resolutions.
Love these vegan posts! Keep em comin!!
oh... I always stock **hemp seeds** to sprinkle on anything and everything -- super good for you (akin to flaxseed)
Popular up here in Canada (w/o the THC of course!) (:
oh... and **So Nice Original Soymilk**
(ingredients are simply organic soybeans and water, c'est ca -- no added sugar, preservatives etc). Great with coffee!
And I always have raw almonds on hand for snacking (remember your calcium, protein, iron, and b-complex!!)
nice list!
that's pretty much what my pantry looks like. just add a few kinds of pasta and tons of soy milk and there you go.
For a new flavor adventure or for those who have soy allergies, I recently discovered there is a delightful world of rice products out there. Rice milk has a much different flavor than soy milk. I was surprised to find rice flour pasta and my new favorite breakfast is rice cakes (hello the eighties?) with almond butter topped with dried fruit.
And please add nut butters to your pantry list. They can also be utilized to create sauces and 2T is a super-fast-running-out-the-door protein boost.
Peanut butter!
Bragg liquid aminos (it's not fermented and doesn't have that overwhelmingly salty flavor that most soy sauce does).
Lots of good spices, kept well away from heat sources. This should be obvious, but trust me, for some newbie herbivores who don't know how to cook, it's not.
Several kinds of oil. A good olive oil is a must, but safflower or canola is better for baking, and peanut and/or sesame oils are better for Asian-style dishes.
Ground flax seeds! Mix into your breakfast smoothie or into baked goods - it's an easy way to add fiber and omega-3s.
Capers. I always have a jar of capers in the refrigerator for faux-fish dishes.
A good hot sauce. When a newly-tested recipe doesn't turn out so well, the hot sauce just might make it edible. Also indispensable for Cajun or Mexican food.
I keep on hand at all times:
coconut milk (which I dilute 1:1 with water and use on my granola in morning and any other recipe that calls for milk), chickpeas, tahini paste, cashew butter, ginger, coconut oil, grain sweetened chocolate chips, oatmeal (to make granola and cookies with), agave nectar, honey, whole wheat/spelt/brown rice pasta, black beans, cocoa powder, spelt flour and whole wheat flour mix for baking, Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour mix, brown rice.
You can check out some of my recipes using my pantry staples and everyone else's wonderful suggestions at:
almond butter!
haha, i was so happy to see the peanut butter post b/c that on the same line as i was thinking. i live off of almond butter.
what else would i be diminished without? cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and oatmeal.
this list is great, the nutritional yeast is a good suggestion
My staples:
Brown Rice
Quinoa (I buy the big bag of it from CostCo)
Rice Milk
Nutritional Yeast (I sprinkle this on top of pasta, soup, and pizza)
Soy Sauce
Coconut Milk
Curry Paste
Black Beans
Peanut Butter
Earth Balance Margarine
in addition ,but not at the same time:
ume plum vinegar (i love it with olive oil on salads)
mango pickle
Hi! Great post!
I´m looking forward to that tofu post. You see, I´ve been vegetarian for 2 years, and slowly turning vegan, and I never eat tofu. I get tested ever year to see if everything is alright, and so far so good.
I just don´t like the taste, and, according to many vegetarian books, it´s not really needed in a vegeterian/vegan diet. It seems that, instead of protein shortage, one of the biggest food issues nowadays is protein overconsumption.
So... what do you think? Is tofu all that necessary for us veggies?
It's totally not necessary, berenjeno. In fact, there's lots of reasons to limit your soy intake, or at least be careful about where it comes from/the conditions under which it is grown. For example, Silk soy milk is owned by a dairy company, not so nice for ethical vegans. I wouldn't worry about limiting soy. But, you might be interested in incorporating some for flavour, texture, or variety. If so, definitely check out some recipes that involve pressing, long marinates, and sauces. Also, try some prepared tofu, smoked or whatever, at restaurants you trust. Tofu tastes like whatever you cook it with. If you're still not digging it, try tempeh. It's healthier anyway :)
I keep soy flour. 1 heaping TB of soy flour and 1 TB water can replace an egg when baking. It's also cheaper than fancy brand egg substitutes and easier to deal with than flax seeds.
I keep it in the freezer because it can oxidize pretty quickly.
@berenjeno: tofu isn't necessary if you don't like it. while soy is a complete protein, quinoa is also a complete protein! you can also get protein from beans, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
my blog features many vegetarian recipes: http://healthnut-em.blogspot.com

Beginning with piano lessons and soon graduating to music technique and theory as well as jazz and ballet at the Canadian Royal Conservatory. Later on, Reuben began modeling. Following appearances in print and on television, the aspiring actress began to make appearances on such television series as The Flash and Silk Stalkings. Appearing frequently on made-for-television movies, she began appearing in such features as The Waiter (1993) and Timecop (1994) and then joined the cast of E.R. in 1995. Her role as an HIV-positive health care professional struggling to maintain dignity in her profession in the face of tragedy earned the actress an Emmy nomination, and her career continued to pick up pace in the late '90s in both features and television. With high billing on the made-for-television movie The Agency in 2001 as well as the series that followed, it appeared as if Gloria Rueben's star was burning bright into the new millennium. Her songstress past returned as Reuben took the role of back-up singer on Tina Turner 's 2000 Twenty-Four Seven tour.

Milano Snapshot: Slicing Salami at Trattoria Toscana Torre di Pisa
I'm in Milan this week for EuroCucina, the big European kitchen design trade show. After being surrounded by sleek, beautiful, new things all day, it was refreshing to step into this old trattoria in Brera, and watch this man slice cured meat on a machine that was no less gorgeous than the objects I had seen all day at the show — it was used and worn under that fiery red gloss, and this only added to its dangerous charm.

hi all
one of my pleasures in life is to go to a good italian deli and watch the deli man slice a sopressa on the slicer and have the aromas of so many different meats and antipastos in my nose.

Town manager Joyce M. Mason and the Mashpee Board of Selectmen will receive information regarding the funding and operation of the Mashpee Housing Authority's housing assistance program on Monday, June 30.
At its June 23 meeting, the selectmen passed a motion made by Andrew R. Gottlieb to request an audit of the program—which has been funded using $300,000 Community Preservation Act funds since 2012—after concerns were raised about its operation and funding.
Questions were initially raised about the program last August, when selectmen learned that the housing authority had been distributing funds as grants for residents and not loans.
However, the audit shared with selectmen by community preservation committee chairman Richard C. Halpern this week was described by Mr. Gottlieb as "utterly and completely unresponsive" to the questions raised.
"It provides no information about the use or distribution of housing assistance money that the town made available and does nothing to answer questions about how money was used," he said.
The audit covers a period from July 1, 2010, through September 30, 2012, roughly five months of the period for which the program has been funded, and contains descriptions of the housing authority's ability to meet laws and regulations and management standards.
Although the audit meets state requirements, town manager Joyce M. Mason said, it fails to address her and the selectmen's concerns regarding the use of Community Preservation Act funding.
Addressed by chairman Wayne E. Taylor with these concerns, Mr. Halpern agreed to provide the paperwork necessary to answer questions regarding the assistance money that was provided by the committee, the distribution of funds, and the criteria for residents to receive funding for the program.
Mr. Taylor expects to receive the information from Mr. Halpern on June 30, following which it may be reviewed by Ms. Mason and the selectmen.

The Lord Chancellor's assertion that wallpaper should last 60 to 70 years has interesting implications. Taken literally, internal decorations would survive beyond current expectations for the longevity of structure and external fabric. This evokes a vision of the city as Modernism-in-reverse. It reminds us that when a terrace of houses is demolished, and the decorated walls of living-rooms and bedrooms stand exposed mid-air (in suspended animation for years on end), their presence is ...

"States will be empowered to establish processes to oversee the development and production of all forms of energy on federal lands within their borders, excluding only lands specially designated off-limits"
This means that national parks and national forests, not to mention state parks and state forests, are open for business to oil companies to drill in the park. Romney apparently believes that those companies who write large checks to his campaign trump all of us who visit and use these wild spaces. Mitt Romney is no Teddy Roosevelt and if his idea of fixing the US means gutting our natural treasures, with all due respect, Mitt Romney can take his energy policy and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

Sarah Palin - To Start a New Thread
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 09-03-2008 - 12:26pm
Thought I would throw some new meat out there since there's a limit to dishwasher and book list and split personality former-banned member stuff I can read...
So how does Sarah Palin's situation figure into your perspective on the SAH/WOH debate?
I believe that WOH definitely works for my family, and for the most part, tend to favor it in general as a path that is more likely to secure financial stability for families. I'm just stating that as a glossing over of my basic place in the 'debate' to set the stage for my response.
I find Palin interesting. As a fairly liberal feminist, I applaud any woman who reaches that level of Government, particularly in, shall we say, a more 'rugged' state. At the same time, as a fairly liberal feminist, most of her social views tend to scare the bejeezes out of me. But that has to do with the political.
Politics aside, if you merely treated her as a case study, in our own little imaginary sociology class, how does her situation affect/impact you or cause you to react? She is a mom of 5, with a son shipping out to Iraq, a pregnant teen aged daughter, 2 other daughters that are younger, and an infant special needs son.
I do not think any of those things should or should not impact her decision to WOH, in general. However, I *do* have a somewhat negative reaction to the idea of pursuing the VP slot. In her current role, in theory she is also in a high stress job that demands long hours. But I get the impression that her husband is in the more day-to-day family management role. One could posit that living in a small town with lots of family allows her the benefit of a wider net of support.
To me it is one thing to work and find the best thing to work for your family. But I really question the decision to expose my family to the degree of tumult, scrutiny, and change that this degree of position entails. They will have to move to a completely foreign environment. They have no insight as of yet to the degree of care and attention their son may require - it could vary greatly. I just cannot reconcile in my mind a parent making that kind of choice, particularly when she is relatively young and probably has a rising star that promises years of opportunity to come.
I question myself on whether a double standard is being applied - would I have the same reaction given all this news if her husband was the nominee? Hmm - probably not - and that's hard for me to admit. But I also believe that I *should( have the same reaction even if the father is the one making the choices versus the mother, and making things 'equitable' doesn't mean that I should expect less from women - I should start expecting MORE from men.
I don't think any of this has a direct impact on her ability or readiness to govern (although I have tons of opinions on that unrelated to the SAH/WOH thing). But it does give an insight into her judgment, priorities and choices - and I really feel like these apparent choices are ones I just can't support.
I am interested in other opinions and views.
|Wed, 09-03-2008 - 12:34pm
I think Sarah Palin is a woman I would like to have for a friend. She seems interesting and even fun. But I disagree with about 98% of her views on everything, so I am not voting for her or McCain. The idea of her as my president scares me.
As far as the kids are concerned, hey, I worked for Bobby Kennedy in 1968. He and Ethel had ten kids and one on the way. Five kids and a house husband doesn't bother me at all. It might even have been fun to have a First Dude.
|Wed, 09-03-2008 - 12:56pm
>>> As far as the kids are concerned, hey, I worked for Bobby Kennedy in 1968. He and Ethel had ten kids and one on the way.
I hear you. I'm struggling myself with an apparent double standard that I am feeling that surprises me about myself.
Now, would Bobby and Ethel *today* feel differently to you (given our culture's level of expectation regarding parental involvement, etc.)? If Ethel wasn't SAH (with, also, I assume tons of Kennedy money for staff and support and such), would that change your attitude? If they had several child-related 'crises' going on at the time of an election (today, not in 68), would that affect you?
I'm learning more about myself and my views through examining this. I find that, while my DH and I split things quite equitably, and we both share the roles of income earning, house care, child care, etc., I still know that I, as the mother, tend to assess, contemplate, and make more decisions regarding the emotional growth and direction of my children. If 'sacrifices' are to be made, I am the one more likely to recognize that first and ready to step up to do that. Now, I am not 'sacrificing' the opportunity to be VPOTUS - I'm sacrificing things like choice assignments that involved increased travel, etc. But I do think that - either driven by cultural norms or chemical gender-based differences (or both), mothers are expected to and ARE more likely to gauge their family choices in the context of how it affects all their children and spouse and themselves. I find that I expect this - hell, even embrace it as a *good* thing about female mentality and decision-making - and the fact that Palin has a lot of children isn't what phases me - it is that she has a lot of children, all of whom are currently dealing with extremely stressful, fearful, and challenging issues *regardless* of what mom and dad do for a living, and she is *choosing* to amplify that stress for all of them by, oh, say, 10,000%? And I just can't see doing that.
|Wed, 09-03-2008 - 3:58pm
I'm a sahm who will return to the work force on at least a part-time basis once my children are in school. I too have thought about the Palin VP pick in terms of this debate. While I don't understand at all how men and women
|Wed, 09-03-2008 - 5:03pm
"I would question a male politician who chose to drag his pregnant, 17 year old daughter into the spotlight, and then further would choose to be away from her for extended periods of time at a time in her life when she needed him."
I'm wondering if you felt the same about John Edwards bid for the Presidential nomination?
|Wed, 09-03-2008 - 5:23pm
Not travs, but I'll answer ... :)
I would feel that way about Edwards to an extent, but not as great a one. Simply because the "other person" here, the one being dragged into the spotlight and possibly not having needs met is an adult that's capable of going into that decision willingly with full knowledge of the consequences of that decision.

Doost Roost
Charlene S. from Fremont, CA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in July, 2014
This cabin could be a very nice place to stay for a family since its location is close to many activities. The problem was the cleanliness of the cabin and the maintainence which we reported to the management staff. The maid left her list of do's on the coffee table and didn't do much cleaning.This cabin needs to thoroughy cleaned and a list of 15 items fixed. The owner should get a new management company or not pay them as they did not answer a question after hours when called and the maidservice was non existant. Thank you Doost for intending families enjoy the outdoors an spend time together. The TV service was horrible and no cell phones which was ok with me.
Property Manager Response:
Response from Big Trees Real Estate, Inc.
Unfortunately, this guest did not call the after hours number provided upon arrival, and instead called the office, which is why there was no response until the next day. We provide guests with an EMERGENCY number to call after the office is closed if there are issues, as we make ourselves available to guests 24/7 for emergencies.

Almost all of the program sessions at this meeting focused on the current ARL strategic thinking and design process, upon which the Association embarked in the fall of 2013 to define its role in higher education and to maximize ARL's ability to be agile and responsive to changing priorities and member needs. The meeting also included a panel discussion of SHARE (SHared Access Research Ecosystem), a higher education and research community initiative to ensure the preservation of, access to, and reuse of research outputs.
