Date Reviewed: February 18, 2010
Strengths: Stiff, good geometry, flickable, handles a dream, not too bad uphill or on the flat, (ratios, 26t-40t-bash/11t-32t & strapless toeclips help alot, as does the RP23), very very plush ride, descends superb & you can feel exactly what the bikes doing.
Weaknesses: Factory paintwork finish (pixie blue) is shocking (there must be 1.5 lb of double powder coat on it), took a week with p1500 wetndry to flatten (more orange peel than outspan) & cutting compound to buff it, then wax (new stickers 1st). a bit pricey. 6.8lb? (But then i didn't want an xc bike)

Strengths: -aggressive head tube angle allows for great descending.
-lively suspension
-reasonable price
-descends like a DH/FR bike
-inspires total confidence
Weaknesses: -the frame design does not make it a great climber (but the FOX RP23 shock makes up for the design shortcoming).
-could be a little lighter.
Bottom Line:
Cove has been making bikes for the shore since the early 90's and it shows. they were on the "trail bike" thing before it was a category and years before the Nomad showed up. this frame paired with the RP23 and the Pike is unstoppable-just a quick adjustment to climb, a quick adjustment to descend. drop it in the middle for a traditional XC ride, this bike does it all and never complains.
like i said the weight could be less, but it's not bad at 31 lbs for a 6" travel bike and what you get descending is well worth hauling it up. i've recommended the bike to several friends and even my brother-in-law who has a Santa Cruz hookup. he's been riding it for 3 seasons as well and still loving it. i can't say enough good things about this bike. the only thing that might get me off it is if Cove drops their VPP-ish version (their "shocker" platform) of the Hustler because i only wish it was a better climber but that's it. ride it and you'll never go back to that feeble 71 degree head tube angle 25 lb XC bike! the only person that shouldn't buy this bike is if you ride flats, and if that's the case you should just ride a single.

Pickleball Chili
Awhile back I shared my dad's chili which he and I have both entered into several chili cook-offs and either won or came in second place. For the a recent cook-off with his pickleball crew, he entered a slightly altered version and won again (and hence the name of this version)! He is a master of his recipes, even when it comes to making changes and improvements, and as a result I trust his recipes/modifications before all others. Yet he claims that I am the cook and he just follows recipes. Such modesty!
But anywho. My dad shared his newest chili recipe with me and I decided that the perfect time to make it was when my friends came to visit this past weekend. It helped that everyone was in a chili mood with fall all around us. So while lounging around and just spending quality time together on Saturday, this simmered away on the stove top until we couldn't bear the teasing aromas any longer. Crammed around my dining room table, it pleased and satisfied everyone's taste buds! A couple people added a little hot sauce to theirs but that's to be expected as everyone has different spicy preferences.
It was so great to have 5 of my favorite people in town for the weekend and was very sad to see them all leave yesterday. We had crazy conversations and nerdy-intellectual conversations, played games, watched movies, ate and cooked a lot of great food, went out to Beale street and just did what friends do best. Now back to the stinky norm of living 8+ hours away from them. Beware Memphis friends, I may be extra needy this week.

Sloppy Joses with Avocado Cream
Secret Recipe Clubbing time! This month I was assigned to Bobbi's Kozy Kitchen and it is cozy indeed! With recipe like redneck eggs benedict and shrimp with tomatoes and feta cheese (except I would made it with chicken) my eyes were even comforted by the sheer appearance and thought of eating them. From the awesome list of recipes I decided upon her Sloppy Joses with Avocado Cream. I can never turn down avocado!
In case you haven't figured it out, the Sloppy Jose is a Mexican version of a homemade Sloppy Joe. Not only is this baby topped with an avocado cream sauce, but it's made with bacon, jalapeno, and even beer. I even sprinkled some cotija cheese on top for fun since I had some handy. My favorite part was actually mixing the bits the dropped out from my sandwich into the potato salad I served it with. (Potato salad compliments of my dad, who gave it to me when he visited for my defense a week ago.)

Chicken and Roasted Red Pepper Pizza with Rosemary Beer Crust
It's been way too long since I've posted a pizza recipe. The last one was a Cast Iron Skillet Brussels Sprouts Bacon Pizza back in April due to the fact that I don't usually have time to let the dough rise during the week. Sometimes I get around that by mixing the dough before going to the gym and by the time I get back it's ready to go.
This pizza uses pizza yeast for the dough which means homemade pizza on a weekday without any tricks! Pizza yeast requires zero rise time, which at first kind of worried me but it really does work. And to make this dough even more special it is made with beer and rosemary. It was the perfect base to be topped off with chicken, roasted red pepper and feta cheese.

Chocolate Beer Truffles
Memorial weekend is nearly upon us! Do you have any festive activities planned? My weekend has not been dictated as of yet, but I do know that one of my friends is coming from out of town to visit. Granted, I will be going into work on Monday regardless of the holiday, because that's the life of a graduate student, but that doesn't mean we cannot enjoy a regular length weekend. Added bonus = the pool opens Saturday!
(P.S. Memorial weekend was always the time for pools to open growing up in the North. So I figured when I moved to the South pools would open sooner due to earlier warm weather. But of course this logic does not seem to follow.)
In preparation for the holiday weekend the Holiday Recipe Club got together to create themed recipes using one of three ingredients: watermelon, beer, pork. I really wanted to make a strawberry-watermelon beverage for you because it sounded incredibly refreshing and perfect for the weekend, but there lies the problem – I would've had to make it before the weekend because obviously today is the day to post! Maybe I will end up making and sharing later if you're lucky ;-).
Anywho, I went with the fun idea of adding beer to chocolate truffles. I used Sam Adams Alpine Spring for these because it sounded almost as refreshing as that watermelon drink. I bet a chocolate (or regular) stout would be a great choice as well. As for the assembly, these truffles were not as easy to roll as those I've made in the past. I found I needed to rinse and dry my hands between rolling every truffle, which was a bit tedious. Hard work pays off though, right?

Split-Pea Soup
Before I dive into the St. Patrick's Day themed Holiday Recipe Club post today, I suppose I should tell you how my mom's surgery went after the dramatic story I told yesterday. Agreed? I feel like I am dangling something tantalizing in front of you.
The pre-op business took all of the morning and then the balloon test to make sure they could proceed with the real surgery took a little while longer. Surgery didn't truly begin until mid-afternoon. Originally the plan was to cut off the carotid artery as she had enough blood flow without it due to a precious surgery, but the process was causing her to become sick (vagal response) despite all of their efforts. Being a life-threatening situation, they went ahead and tried something else which only had a 1% chance of being completed…
They got it to work! The doctor was ecstatic (myself and family included) and said the carotid artery was saved via stent and the aneurysm itself was now filled 95% with coils. He may have to go back in to fill the remaining 5%, but we shall see how things go. Of course I didn't have a clue how these coils worked so after my aunt explaining to me what she was told by a nurse, and a little research on the web, it is a platinum coil that causes a clotting reaction to occur within the aneurysm itself and will hopefully eliminate it! I even found a little video if you care to watch on YouTube.
I didn't get to speak with my mom but she is feeling well despite the nausea from the anesthetic. She will be held in the ICU overnight and will likely be in the hospital for another 2-3 days. I am very much relieved for it to be over. (Update: if the MRI results today look good she's going home tomorrow!)
As for the bouquet of cake balls, being that the hospital is 2 hours from their home they have not made their presence known yet. Wish I had gotten them in the mail sooner so that they could have arrived on Tuesday instead. I wasn't thinking it through and just wanted them to be there when she was done with surgery so I went for Wednesday. Hopefully their neighbor was able to scoop up the package so that it won't be sitting outside the entire time they are gone.
But now I must redirect you into thinking about the upcoming holiday, St. Patrick's Day. For today's post we had to choose between pistachios, potatoes, and beer. My mind immediately went to soup. And a green one such as split-pea, with potatoes and beer. Little did I know that split-pea is an acceptable Irish food item with which to celebrate the holiday. Learning stuff is cool!
This was my first time ever making split-pea soup. In fact the last time I witnessed it being homemade by anyone was decades ago by my grandmother. I don't recall how she makes it (and I doubt she does either because she's from the generation that doesn't need recipes), but I kind of like my split-pea soup a bit thicker. With the chunks of potato and carrot it ended up stew-y, and it was awesome. Especially when served with asiago biscuit twists. If you like a thinner split-pea, then simply stop cooking it when it reaches your preferred consistency.

One year ago: Creamy Baked Chicken Taquitos
Serves 8-10
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups dried split peas, rinsed
9 medium carrots, peeled and sliced 1/2″ thick
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2″ cubes
1-1/2 tsp dried thyme
3 quarts reduced sodium chicken broth
1-12 oz. bottle of ale
Salt and pepper
- In a large stock pot or French oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Combine the remaining ingredients, except salt and pepper, in the pot and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cover slightly with the lid. Allow to cook for 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste and continue to cook until it reaches a desired consistency (I cooked mine a little on the thicker side). If it cooks down too much, simply add more chicken broth or water.

Cheddar Baked Potato Soup
Soup. It's just about the only food I can think about other than pizza since the holidays, so be prepared for more of both. Not really sure what about January makes me want pizza, but soup at least makes sense. Even though the temperatures are not quite right for this time of year (high of 66 today? Seriously?), it's cool enough for a bowl of comforting and creamy warmth.
For anyone who made the usual resolution to eat healthier, this isn't really the recipe for you. Although I did use 2% instead of whole milk! Does that make up for the heavy cream and cheese load? Probably not so I guess it's a good thing my resolution* didn't involve anything in the food section. Although I just realized while typing, that this was made before New Years so it wouldn't have mattered either way! Guess it does for all of you though doesn't it? Boo, my apologies for not sharing sooner.
This quick soup will fill you up right and keep you warm from the inside-out. I enjoyed my first (and second) serving with a rosemary roll, MmMmm!
*What was my new years resolution? To relax. I know that may sound kind of odd, but I have a hard time allowing myself to do just that. It's no wonder my upper back and shoulders are always tense. Go-go-go all the time yet somehow I have managed my 26 years on this earth without coffee. I am an enigma to most people.

Ron's Chili
Last week I came down with a pretty nasty cold. But since my cat is not much of a cook, I had to make myself some soup – or chili rather. This recipe is my dad's so it was the closest thing to having someone else cook for me as I could get without leaving my apartment.
This chili actually recently won best chili in a contest my dad entered in their community. No wonder, when we used to live in Texas he was on a chili team! The only thing I changed was using hot chili beans instead of mild.
Most of the time I double this recipe. In which case I sometimes use half chuck steak and half ground beef, and one can hot beans and one can mild (and yes I actually did double it this time but am posting the undoubled version). As an added bonus, I also whipped up my mom's jalapeno cornbread which I will be sharing with you tomorrow!
One year ago: Oven-Fried Onion Rings
Serves 4-6
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb. beef chuck steak, cut into bite-sized pieces (may substitute with ground beef)
1-15 oz. can tomato sauce
1-6 oz. can tomato paste
1-10.75 oz. can condensed tomato soup
3/4 cup water
6 oz. beer (half a bottle)
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp Tabasco hot sauce (optional)
1-15 oz. can hot Mexican chili beans
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook onion in olive oil until tender. Add meat and brown until only a little pink remains.
- Add sauce, paste, soup, water, beer, and seasonings. Thoroughly mix and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered until thick, about 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
- Stir in the beans, pepper and cheese. Simmer for another 15 minutes and then serve immediately with additional cheese on top, and with either crackers or corn bread.

Sausage Stuffed Pretzel Bites
After seeing two versions of pretzel bites last week I knew I had to have them for football viewing this past Saturday. But then I saw these beer sourdough pretzels, and wanted to make a bite sized version. But while I'm at it, how about the fancy idea to shove sausage inside of them? Why yes, thank you I will. So I present to you, sausage stuffed sourdough beer pretzel bites (or sausage stuffed pretzel bites for short)!
They are really easy to make other than the required patience for the dough to rise. Easy to make, but my kitchen was still a mess afterwards. Worth it. I mean just look at them, doesn't the sausage look all cozy and delicious inside there?
I made a beanless chili-cheese dip as well, which originally was intended to be a separate snack but after dipping the pretzels into the dip I knew they were meant to be together. I think any dip involving cheese would be perfect with these pretzel bites.
P.S. I used turkey sausage to cut down on the fat content, but there will be no judgement from me if you go full steam with the pork sausage!
Makes 30 bites
14 oz pre-cooked turkey sausage link, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup unfed sourdough starter, straight from the refrigerator
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1/4 cup of your favorite beer
1 Tbsp sugar
1-1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp instant yeast
3-1/4 cups flour
1 Tbsp butter, melted
10 cups water
2/3 cup baking soda
1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 Tbsp water
Pretzel salt or coarse Sea Salt
- Combine the sourdough starter, water, beer, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to foam. Add the flour and butter and, using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl, clean the bowl and then oil it well with vegetable oil. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and sit in a warm place for approximately 50 to 55 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450. Line two baking pans with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil. Set aside.
- Bring the 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a rolling boil in an 8-quart saucepan or roasting pan.
- In the meantime, turn the dough out onto a slightly oiled work surface and divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a 22-inch rope. Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces; using your two hands, one-by-one, shape the dough around one piece of sausage and roll between hands until evenly covered. Place the pretzels onto the parchment-lined pan.
- Place the pretzels into the boiling water, 1 by 1, for 30 seconds. Remove them from the water using a large flat spatula. Return to the half sheet pan, brush the top of each pretzel with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture and sprinkle with the pretzel salt (or coarse sea salt). Bake until dark golden brown in color, approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Hope everyone enjoyed a labor-free weekend! Or at least a reduced amount of labor. I certainly took advantage of some lazy-time on Saturday, watching every college football game I could find on TV starting with my Buckeyes at 11 am.
I am so glad college football is back in season. And to celebrate I kicked off the day with a beermosa. Initially I thought it sounded really gross to mix beer with liquor, and then orange juice. But don't knock it until you try it! I was pleasantly surprised by this beverage, and it may be a staple for every 11am game. It's the mimosa for football fans!
Serves one
2 oz orange flavored vodka
6 oz light beer, of your choice
4 oz orange juice
- Pour vodka into a large glass, followed by beer and then orange juice. Stir and enjoy!

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Sporting Kansas City traded forward Teal Bunbury to New England on Wednesday for allocation money and the Revolution's first-round pick in next year's MLS SuperDraft.
The Canadian-born Bunbury was the fourth overall pick in the 2010 draft and has scored 21 goals with seven assists in 94 MLS games. Bunbury tore his ACL two years ago and returned to the field last season, helping Sporting KC win its first MLS Cup championship since 2000.
The 23-year-old Bunbury also has made four appearances with the U.S. men's national team.
Sporting KC now has two first-round picks in next year's draft. The allocation money can be used to sign players new to MLS, re-signing an existing MLS player or buy down a player's salary budget charge below the league maximum of $368,750.
Bunbury was born in Hamilton and is the son of former Canadian national team striker Alex Bunbury but has chosen to play for the U.S.

CONCORD, N.H. — Democratic Gov. John Lynch has overcome an anti-incumbent groundswell and defeated Republican John Stephen to win a historic fourth consecutive two-year term as New Hampshire's governor.
The 57-year-old Lynch faced one of his toughest re-election battles against Stephen, a former health and human services commissioner. Stephen tried to tap voter unrest by promising to cut state spending without raising taxes. He said Lynch's mismanagement would leave a huge budget deficit for the next governor to fix.
Lynch said he could produce a balanced budget with spending cuts and a moderate growth in state revenues.
Advocacy groups spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on television ads attacking Lynch for signing a law last year legalizing gay marriage.
Libertarian John Babiarz (BAB'-ee-arz) also was on the ballot.
One Response to "New Hampshire Election Results: John Lynch Defeats John Stephen In 2010 Governor's Race"
As a 30-year New Hampshire resident, I can say that the significance of this election is that John Lynch will no longer enjoy the freedom to abuse his power as Governor that he has shown in the past. He must now deal with a 5-0 Republican Executive Council and a 297-101 Republican House, and a 24-9 Republican Senate. This will greatly restrict his ability to force through unpopular legislation, like he did in 2008, when he called an unprecedented emergency session of the (democrat) legislature, locked the doors, and said "do not leave until you approve my $68M emergency budget over-run". How the mighty have fallen…

This series of videos was posted last year, but after watching them, I think they're well worth re-posting. In the first part here, the arguments start at 2:15 with a lady who insists that North Korean workers are well-paid:
Police and Occupy Protesters Clash in Oakland
Yesterday Occupy protesters broke into Oakland City Hall and, while ransacking the place, burned an American flag. Meanwhile in the streets nearby, police, who accuse the protestors of throwing rocks and bottles at them, responded with flashbang grenades, tear gas, and beanbag projectiles. Here's one video compilation of the events:
The protesters were clearly looking for a fight.
In NYC, occupiers ransacked an unoccupied apartment building with 10 units for sale for up to $625,000. NYPO reports, "The hipsters left empty cans of Schlitz beer behind and spray-painted graffiti, such as 'Be the Crisis,' on the walls."
To those who chided me for not getting more excited about the libertarian potential of the Occupy protests–I'm guessing there weren't dog-eared copies of Economics in One Lesson next to beer cans and spray paint.
Occupy Protesters Disrupt Operations at West Coast Ports
Occupy protesters blocked the gates at several of the West Coast's busiest ports today in an attempt to punish Goldman Sachs, which owns a stake in the largest cargo-terminal operator. Terminals in Oakland, Portland, and Longview were partially shut down.
Several hundred of longshoremen were sent home with little or no pay, and truck drivers, who typically get paid per mile driven, were stuck in lines for hours. Apparently, the protesters didn't realize that hurting a corporation entails hurting the people who work for corporations.
That the Occupiers are targeting the ports as "economic engines for the elite" is just more confirmation of their profound economic ignorance. Ports are economic engines for the world economy because they sustain the international division of labor, without which, billions of people would be impoverished.
Goldman Sachs' stake in the ports does not justify the protestors' actions. It is true, the company has tremendous political influence and it has behaved unethically. But that does not mean that all companies, contractors, and employees who associate with it have abrogated their right to engage in the type of voluntary exchange that takes place at ports.
The only good news is that, by hurting some of the very people they're claiming to represent and "protect," the protesters have laid bare the destructive nature of their unthinking "action."
Damn Kids
D. Herbert Lipson's recent article in Philadelphia Magazine is representative of an increasingly common response to the Occupy protests. The current generation of twenty-somethings has been coddled; we didn't prepare them for the rigors of the real world; they're spoiled and entitled, and as a result America is screwed. In other words, people who were 18-20 when the financial system imploded in 2008 are somehow to blame for the country's decline–a convenient narrative for the people who presided over the construction of the whole rotten system for decades.
Lipson's description of the Occupy Philadelphia crowd is accurate enough:
I walked to City Hall to see what sort of people would camp out there, and to hear what they had to say. I have to admit, I was not impressed—it was a ragtag bunch, a tent city of the terminally unemployed, more like the crowd you'd see on South Street.
But without justification, Lipson decides that the few hundred socialists camping out are representative of the entire generation of young adults coming to age this decade.
I believe there has been a fundamental decline in our competitive spirit. Barack Obama was right when he accused us of going soft—we have gone soft. And what disturbs me more than anything is how we've raised our current generation of young adults. There are very few 22-year-olds—excuse me, make that 25-year-olds, because most kids don't graduate from college in four years—who impress me as going anywhere. They seem poorly educated and unmotivated. They strike me as lazy and immature. I'm generalizing, of course; there are exceptions. But by and large, the generation now coming of age is not ready for prime time.
Most college students don't graduate in four years, but that's not because the young generation is any lazier than previous ones. It's because people who would have gone to technical school or have gotten a job straight out of high school in an earlier time are now going to "4-year" colleges. These unenthusiastic students populate schools like Heritage University in Washington state, which boasts a graduation rate of 17%. Harvard, on the other hand, has a four year graduation rate of 97%.
If Lipson was referring to the practice of pushing all students regardless of ability to attend college, then he would be right when he worries about "how we've raised our children." But he seems to think we need more kids to attend college, seeing as how "the U.S. has fallen to ninth in percentage of citizens who are college graduates." But why would we want more college graduates when 44% of them are working in jobs that don't require degrees?
Also, how exactly would we pay to send more people to college? Tuition continues to rise and the federal government is running a $1.5 trillion deficit. And that brings us to the real problem with America today. The economy is in shambles thanks to the inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve, which have enabled a reckless government to promise every American a house, a college education, and abundant health care, among myriads of other things.
If we're going to blame whole generations for our country's problems, how about the "greatest generation" and the baby boomer generation for saddling us with the New Deal, the Great Society, and the modern military industrial complex? These programs and institutions form the basis of the welfare-warfare state which has ruined any part of society it has touched. Health care, education, transportation, banking–these are the most heavily regulated and controlled segments of America today, and it's no coincidence that this is where we are facing the most inefficiency and corruption. And in exchange we get heavy taxation, debt, inflation, and the boom-bust cycle.
People are starting to realize that these policies are no longer sustainable, and that as a result, America is in decline. Many don't yet realize how fundamental the problems with the whole welfare-warfare state are, but they are at least able to recognize, if only in an inchoate sense, that long-term and endemic greed, corruption, and profligacy among America's ruling class is part of the problem. And then there are those like Lipson, who are blaming people who were 5 when Bush I sent 500,000 troops to the Arabian Peninsula to fight a country that the Reagan Administration allied with before they were born, who were 13 when Greenspan began inflating the housing bubble that would collapse in 2008, and who were 15 when Bush II used the blowback from his father's war as a pretext to launch an endless Global War on Terrorism and to expand the police state to unprecedented levels. Damn kids.
Adam Carolla Blasts Occupy Wall Street and the 'Participation Trophy' Generation
This following video of comedian Adam Carolla attacking the envy and sense of entitlement behind the Occupy Wall Street movement has gone viral. [NSFW]
I have mixed feelings about this rant. In general terms, Carolla is correct. Envy is a bad thing, and there is undoubtedly a strong undercurrent of envy driving the Occupy movement.
But I think his contention that envy didn't use to exist in America is off base. The Socialist Party of America, for example, garnered 900,000 votes back in 1912–6% of the vote. That's proportionally many more votes than an outright socialist would get today; Ralph Nader, at his best, attracted only 3%. The rest of the population wasn't too much opposed to the redistribution of wealth either. At least not enough to prevent the top marginal income tax rate from rising to 73% in 1920.
And while I do think that the whole participation trophy phenomenon is ridiculous, I doubt that that has had much of an effect on people. I remember way back when I used to play tee-ball, the there was a rule that prohibited keeping the score, which a couple of do-gooderish parents tried to enforce. But the vast majority of parents didn't care, and there was always someone who kept score and we'd all run up to him or her at the end and eagerly ask who won. And we did all get trophies at the end, even though no one officially won anything. Needless to say, I'm not camped out at one of those dingy Occupy camps right now.
What's really at the root of the Occupy movement is the combination of a bad economy and a bloated system of higher education. Throughout the country there are thousands of over-educated, under-employed leftists. The sense of entitlement these people have comes from their very, very expensive degrees, not from their 15 year old tee-ball trophies. And they're protesting because those degrees did not help them get the jobs they thought they would.
Creepy Chanting Occupy Protesters Interrupt Ron Paul
On Monday, a group of Occupy Wall Street Protesters interrupted a question and answer session at a Ron Paul town hall gathering in New Hampshire. "Mic check!" their leader yelled, before he rattled off a speech about how the "99%" will be heard. The other Occupy people in the audience collectively re-chanted each line.
After their little spiel was over, Paul asked, "Do you feel better?" This apparently upset a corpulent man with a pony tail, who jumped out of his seat yelling and gesturing in response. He was drowned out though, and Paul assured the demonstrators that he had opposed the Wall Street bailouts and was a supporter of the 99%.
Here's the video:
I don't understand how any independent thinker could participate in these creepy "one voice" human microphone chants. It's supposedly just a "non-tech means of public address," as one commenter who doesn't like me put it. But it's much more than that. Any one of those Occupy people at the event could have asked the congressman an intelligent question, just like anyone else in the audience. But instead they chose to be disruptive and chant like zombies.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is by and large based on emotion, and the chanting is an effective means of collectively voicing anger. It's completely anathema, however, to reasoned discourse. But, as I have explained, that doesn't matter to radical leftists. Logic is irrelevant to them. As Mises explained, to defend their irrational theories they "attack logic and reason and substitute mystical intuition for ratiocination." And the chanting is a great way to do that.
OWS is Not Interested in Free Market Economics
One commenter on my recent article posted on Mises.org was very angry with me. He claimed that I was "perpetuating dichotomy," and that by criticizing some spoiled Harvard kids who couldn't even stand listening to one of the very few mildly non-leftists at their university, I was "nit-picking the opportunity of a lifetime."
A second commenter agreed, and decided to start the re-education of Occupy Wall Street himself. He posted:
To any OWS supporter passing through this page: I will send you a free copy of Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. Over 1m copies sold, only 200 pages long, best little book you'll read this year.
I have 10 to give away. Just write to me at email@example.com, specify whether you want a hard copy or a kindle version, and include a mailing address and I'll send it to you from amazon.com.
He also posted the offer at occupywallst.org. Some time passed, and after several posters cheered him on and offered him extra books, he replied to one post:
unhappily, martin, I can't even give them away. I still have 6 left, and even with the Bastiat bonus offered for the first delivery requested to NYC, I've had nothing. I even went on to the official occupywallst.org website and repeated the offer, and nothing.
It's very depressing, and validates the lack of faith in OWS shown in the comments above. I really feel quite deflated.
Well, if any OWS supporter passes through this page, I assume the offer still stands.
But our commenter shouldn't be so deflated. The vast majority of OWS people were leftists before the protests; they'll be leftists during the protests, and they'll still be leftists after the protests end. Their dingy little camps are not fertile recruitment grounds for libertarians, even though they're mad at some of the same people we're mad at. The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.
Unnamed commenter: save those extra books you have, and keep an eye out for any friends or family members of yours that are interested in your ideas. Give them the copies. It might take a while to pass them all out, but be patient. In the meantime, your time will be much better spent supporting the Ron Paul campaign.
Libertarians and Occupy Wall Street
Many libertarians hold out hope that the Occupy Wall Street people can be useful allies. The following venn diagram, for example, has been making its way around Facebook:
It's true, the central position does represent a common position of libertarians and the Occupy crowd. And, if you're a libertarian trying to convert one of your lefty friends, this is probably one of the best angles to start with. But once the conversation strays to taxation of the wealthy, universal health care, environmentalism, radical feminism, and whether the Civil Rights Act represents federal overreach, good luck. Seriously. Good luck. If you want to hand out free market leaflets and copies of Economics in One Lesson to the people in the Occupy camps, go for it. But why are we supposed to view these gatherings of leftists as some great opportunity? Yes, they're angry, and they're mad at the many of the same people we're mad at. But libertarians are for something–namely, liberty and the free market. That's why we oppose crony capitalism. The Occupy crowd, on the other hand, opposes crony capitalism because they're opposed to capitalism. Period. Read their demands. Read their signs. Watch Peter Schiff interview some of them. They're socialists.
Should we try to convince them that they're wrong? Sure. There are former-leftist libertarians out there. But most of the Occupy people won't be willing to listen to you. Those students who walked out of Greg Mankiw's class didn't walk out because they read Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State and realized that Mankiw's neoclassical models are based on a flawed positivist methodology. They walked out because he had the gaul to explain that the minimum wage causes unemployment. And they don't want to hear that. They don't want to think logically about it. That's why they want to "start an all out meme war against our neoclassical profs and begin the task of ushering in a new bionomic, psychonomic, ecological economics paradigm." Occupy Wall Street people are planning on running the last few relatively pro-market voices out of the universities, and all the while there are libertarians busy drawing venn diagrams showing how much we have in common with them. I'm imagining some credulous Russian libertarians in 1917 proclaiming: "Look at how angry those Bolsheviks are at the Tsar! This is such a great opportunity!"
Our time would be much better spent convincing the working population–which is a much, much larger group of people than the few thousand protesters camping out in New York and elsewhere–that they shouldn't have to subsidize these kids' gender studies degrees. And reminding them how evil the Soviet Union was. And approaching them from a hundred other angles. It's true, this is not an easy route either. But after you're done trying to convince that leftist protester that a billionaire should be allowed to keep all his money as long as he doesn't accept favors from the government, give it some consideration.

What happens to our CURRENT Glyphs once the patch hits? We lose all of them? Or will they auto-convert to the new ones and we'll automatically have them added to our Learned Glyph list?
From the PTR any glyphs you have in your bags will be auto learned by you (appropriate class only lol) during the change. Any glyphs you have equipped currently will be auto transferred (excepting those glyphs that no longer exist) to the new glyph system as well. Glyphs in your bank will NOT be auto learned and must be used as normal.
Please not that though you may never use a glyph, there is an Achievement for collecting all your class glyphs. :)

JE Design Audi A8Founded in 1990 by Jochen Eckelt, JE Design concentrates its business on the VAG-built cars, starting with Volkswagen and followed by Audi and SEAT in 1996.
At the core of the company is the design and manufacturing of auto styling components. For the A8, the company offers a full body kit, featuring an aggressive front spoiler (with side vents), sills and rear spoiler. The factory Audi parking indicator system can be maintained after drilling appropriate holes. The body kit attaches to stock mounting points by means of adhesives, and it carries full TV certification.
One can roll phat on a set JE Design/Azev PS wheels measuring a whopping 8.5x20 in front and 10x20 in the rear. By means of adapters, the air pressure monitoring system can be maintained.
Performance is limited to a four-pipe rear exhaust system with 101mm pipes, which create the "sporty V8 sound." A proper V8 performance package, for both the diesel and petrol engines, is in the works.
KW Inox-Line SuspensionIn Europe, horsepower is measured in kW or kilowatts. In Fichtenberg, Germany, suspension is measured in KW, for KW Automotive.
KW's BMW Z4 sits on a set of BBS Le Mans wheels measuring 8.5x19 in front and 9.5x19 in the rear, the aggressive stance due to a KW suspension, one of two offered for the Z4. Both kits lower from between 20- to 50mm in front, and 15- to 40mm in the rear. In the Variant 2 line, rebound is infinitely adjustable. Individuals stepping up to Variant 3 dampers can further customize their setup with independent rebound and compression settings. A notable feature of the KW is its "inox-line" stainless-steel technology. Using stainless-steel construction, the shock bodies are ensured a long-lasting, rust-free life.

Inhale deeply, the ocean breeze
The set of dreams it will make
It's the calmness, that makes us see
The breeze of the sea, which we all seek.
The way of life, will lay
Down quietly. While the wind
Steals away our lives.
We have violently lost, everything
We sought. And each day is a new day
But ends, in the same old ways.
Stay quiet, but stay near,
Speak softly, in my ear.
It's the stone inside the rock,
Just listen, and don't talk.
The ocean breeze, screams softly
In my ear. The sweeping sound
Rains down in a common place.
We live like an ocean, sometimes it's calm
And sometimes it's a storm. Either way
That's how it goes, like a wave at the end of its toll.

... I've barely had them before Motovun. Every meal included truffles. I had truffles and chicken, truffles and pasta and even truffle soup. My mouth literally waters when I think back on the food I ate there. Damn. Also, my trip to Europe has allowed me to discover a love for red wine, which makes me feel more mature than usual.

Back to Basics: How to Use a Slow Cooker
It's bulky and takes up precious cabinet space, but we'll never get rid of our slow cooker. It can be such a life saver those weeks when time is scarce and we just want to make a big batch of something to see us through the week. No matter what kind of slow cooker you own, the basics of how to use it are the same!
Using a slow cooker is super easy. In fact, any good slow cooker recipe will also usually tell you how to set the timer, when to add ingredients, and so on. This takes out a lot of the guess work. If you're new to slow cooking, definitely read through the user manual so you know any quirks or requirements of your particular cooker.
In general, here are the basic guidelines we follow when using our slow cooker:
1. Clear Some Counter Space - It's safe to walk away and leave your slow cooker unattended while it does it's job, but a few precautions never hurt. The sides generate some moderate heat, so we position the cooker six inches or so away from any walls or other appliances so the heat can dissipate. The bottom is made to be safe on any counter, but you can set it on a cooling rack if you're concerned.
2. Prepare the Recipe - A good many slow-cooker recipes require only some basic prep work like cutting vegetables or trimming meat before everything gets dumped into the slow cooker. If you have time, you'll get better flavor in your final dish if you also brown the meat and sear the vegetables.
3. Put the Ingredients in the Slow Cooker - The slow cooker should be between halfway and three-quarters full for best cooking. If your recipe uses liquid, it should come about halfway up the ingredients (or less). Very little liquid will evaporate during cooking, so you generally don't need a lot of it!
4. Put the Lid On - The lid should fit snugly over the slow cooker with no gaps for steam to escape. Slow cookers depend on bringing your food up to a stable temperature (usually around 210°) and keeping it there. If the lid isn't snug, the cooker won't work as efficiently. If your lid has been dropped on the floor one too many times and has some gaps, wrap a sheet of aluminum foil over the top of the cooker to seal everything in.
5. Set the Cooking Time - The cooking temperature is the same on all settings (again, about 210°), so the setting you choose merely dictates how quickly the slow cooker gets to that temperature. The lower settings (usually 8 hour and 10 hour cooking times) heat food gently, whereas the higher settings (4 hour and 6 hour cooking times) will heat it more quickly. Modern slow cookers are designed to bring food to temperature within a safe window of time and hold it there.
6. Walk Away and Let It Cook! - This is the true luxury of the slow cooker: being able to walk away and not think about it for hours. You don't need to stir the contents or check it's progress - in fact, this will let heat escape and can disrupt the cooking process. Some recipes will have you add quick-cooking ingredients (like tender vegetables, pasta, or seafood) in the last hour of cooking, but other than that, nothing further is needed.
7. The End of Cooking - Like any other dish, slow cooker dishes need to be eaten, cooled, and stored within a safe time period, so make sure you're around when the cooking cycle ends. Most modern models will automatically switch over to a "warming" cycle at the end of cooking if you're not right there. This should keep food hot enough to prevent it from spoiling, but it can overcook your food if used for too long.

That dish in the picture looks yum! recipe please?
I've been so torn about getting one of these...but this spring weather is reminding me how much I *hate* using my oven in the dead of summer (it heats up my kitchen and apt. SO much), so maybe now is the time to finally buy a slow cooker! Just have to find a space to store it...
Any particular brand/model suggestions? Don't need it to be the cheapest price out there, but don't want to spend a fortune either! :)
Oh, and a related question: any slow-cooker recipes that suit "lighter" summer eating? As much as I LOVE a good meaty roase or braise (which seem to be the slow cooker's fortes), it's not the most appealing on a hot summer day...
That dish in the picture looks yum! recipe please?-I 2nd this!
I was hoping that this post would include recipes! I have a slow cooker, but only use it a few times a year for lack of things to make in it. Red beans and rice and pork (of various types) are the only things I've ever found that sound appealing. Any great things out there I should be trying?
My slow cooker is stupid-big. I didn't know anything about them when I registered for it for my wedding, so I just picked one. I think it's at least 6qt (of course the manual doesn't say what size it is and I threw the box out..), and all my recipes are for 3-4qt slow cookers. Aside from doubling recipes, is there any way to make smaller recipes work? And if I do double, are there any tricks, or can I straight up double the recipes?
And I have the Company's Coming Slow Cooker cookbook and it's pretty good. I make "Tomato Chickpea Pasta" all the time! Delicious!
We'll have a round-up of slow-cooker recipes for you coming up soon - we just broke them into two posts to keep them from getting too long. Stay tuned!
The recipe in the image above is:
Slow-Cooked Brisket and Onions
@ Greenbayou
A crockpot is worth the price for just one dish... homemade chicken stock. Check out this website's post for easy instructions... I'll never buy commercial chicken stock again!
My favorite use for a slow cooker is for making ribs - I cook them about half way then transfer to the grill and they come out much more moist and flavorful.
Mine is working it's little heart out at home right now while I work. It's making some delicious chicken, sausage and vegetable soup!
America's Test Kitchen recommends the following slow cookers:
http://www.amazon.com/All-Clad-99009-Stainless-Steel-2-Quart-Cooker/dp/B0007SXBUQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1271872843&sr=8-1 << highest recommendation, highest price
http://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KSC700SS-7-Quart-Cooker-Stainless/dp/B000CSRKD0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1271872843&sr=8-2 << the Kitchen Aid has a rebate going on on Amazon right now and is only $44 when that's factored in - yowza!
We have two and use them a lot during the Fall and Winter for soups and stews. Sometimes we'll make a big batch of chicken with lime, spices and coconut milk and shred it and use the chicken for a dozen different things. Great in a taco.
I use the smaller one every week for overnight steel cut oatmeal. Then we add milk and brown sugar every morning to make it last all week.
I'd love to source easy recipes for veggie mains. So far all the recipes I've seen are meat-centric (an admittedly brilliant use) or require too much separate cooking prep...
I made the ultimate cheater bbq pork from the splendid table this weekend and it was worth the cost of the slow cooker!
Friscolex, the slow cooker was actually invented by a vegetarian!
My vegan friend swears by this book.
When I moved into my apartment last year, one of the first pieces of cooking equipment I bought was a slow cooker. I chose a Hamilton Beach model that came with 6qt, 4qt and 2qt inserts (bought it on Amazon.com). Best investment I ever made. I use mine at least once a month and have cooked soups, spaghetti sauce, pork and beef roast, stews, etc.
Anyone know what brand crock pot is in the picture?
I didn't want to go as expensive as All-clad or Kitchenaid.
I'm looking for one that will automatically switch to keep warm at the end of cooking.
I love my slow cooker! I got it for valentines day and we've used it a ton. Tonight we came home to pulled pork and it was delicious! I've found great recipes on the tasty kitchen blog and I love the smitten kitchen recipe for southwestern brisket--so easy and so good!
Here's a tip:
If your dog is tall and your cord is short, get an extension cord. Do not just set the slow cooker on a chair in the dining room. The dog will eat the contents. Stupid dog.
Also, on a related note, don't put your fruit cakes you are curing with liquor on those chairs either. Almost killed the dog with that fun mistake. Stupid dog.
I just bought a slow cooker and I'm so excited to get started! I love how little labor goes into delicious meals. And I love the idea of waking up to warm breakfast.
I realize that I'm a little late to this discussion, but it's snowing here today and slow cooking is on my mind.
I have four slow cookers:
1) a 27 year old 4 quart Crock-Pot. Works as well now as it did 27 years ago. Great for soups.
2) a fuzzy logic rice cooker which also has a slow cooker mode. Wonderful for butternut squash risotto, steamed puddings, carting to pot-luck gatherings.
3) a splendid 1.5 quart enameled cast iron slow cooker. The pot is orange and shaped like a pumpkin, so it's absolutely adorable. Because it's cast iron, I can use it on the stove or in the oven. Handy for browning onions or finishing off a dish. The perfect size for us for overnight slow-cooked oatmeal.
4) The new star of the show is a 6 quart electric roaster. Because the thermostat goes up to 450F, I can roast a chicken in it without it heating up the whole kitchen. It does a fantastic job of caramelizing the onions for French Onion Soup, or for pre-roasting veggies prior to making broth and so on. With the adjustable thermostat, it will slow cook, bake, roast... so handy!
I've quite had a few slow cookers over the years, all different brands and price ranges with all sorts of features, and I've found that it really doesn't matter much in the end. Right now I have an inexpensive 6qt Morphy Richards one that I got on Amazon for around 30 quid, and it does the job creditably. I used to have a dirt cheap 4qt thing that I picked up at WalMart for $12, and later a nicer hand-me-down 6qt Crock Pot before I moved overseas. The only thing that ever mattered to me was the size, and that it had a removable crock (those one-piece things are awful!). You can cook a smaller dish in a larger cooker, but you can't cook a larger dish in a smaller cooker. Go for the biggest every time.
Wonderful article. It helps. Suganya
Hi, In desperation, I looking at using a slow cooker as a dedicated paraffin wax pot? (for hands & feet); I live in SA, and pwp's available are too small; don't look good/safe, or the beauty salon types are unknown brands. I need for arthritis (pain). For the cost of two treatments at the physio, I can buy a top brand name, 6.5 L slow cooker. I would leave the lid off while heating/melting wax; I would also use a thermometer. Any comments/suggestions please ? I don't have to worry about pets or children.

Welcome to my website!I'm Jean John, author of When God Intervenes.
About the AuthorJean is a dedicated member of her local community. Living in London since 1964 after her arrival in England from the Caribbean, she now resides in East London where she is a prominent member of the community. Being involved in community work since 1984 she has volunteered in several organisations not only in her own area but in other boroughs and has won various awards for her voluntary work.Finding herself in a confused and lonely state in the inner city of London, she decided to go to a standard church convention in Sheffield, never dreaming that she would meet God in a totally new way. Being more of a closed up 'religious' person, she was deaf to the various testimonies of people who were meeting God in a new and lively way, and was blatantly critical of the whole event. However, God broke in during that day in a surprising and loving encounter which radically changed her perception of things and brought a new vitality and personal intimacy with Him. In the process He opened the door to a brand new beginning that is still having a wide-ranging impact on her local community, and lead to the breaking of new ground in ministry to those in need - both here in the UK and internationally.
About my latest book, When God Intervenes
When God Intervenes is an inspiring story about a shy insecure woman who was empowered by God to carry out a big mission far beyond her own level of expectation in a needy community where people dared her to perform the task. Faced with the daunting possibility of achieving the goal, her passion and concern for people suffering the effects of mental illness drove her to pursue that mission regardless of the obstacles faced. This book is funny, honest, touching, and shows that God can hide his face for several seasons at times. Nevertheless He can be trusted in the deepest of valleys to show up and work alongside an individual that is willing to trust Him and go the distance.In doing this she also successfully managed what has now grown to become a well established and sought after organisation.

Singles Q&A: What to Do in the Meantime
- Wednesday, July 19, 2006
All of this means that getting married today is very hard – but not impossible, by the grace of God. We Christians need to carefully examine our assumptions and practices about singleness and marriage for any signs of worldliness. Are we delaying God's good gift of marriage to pursue self-centered concerns? Are we pursuing a life built on entertainment and assuming a spouse will somehow materialize? More importantly, are we being faithful to pursue the godly virtues that are commanded by Scripture, virtues that transcend marital status?
It would seem, from what you have presented in your question, that you have reared your daughter to value marriage and motherhood and that you have been praying for her husband. So what I've presented so far was to give some background as to why there are so many single adults and why prayer and purposeful pursuit of marriage is so badly needed today. Assuming that you are guiding her in these ways, the issue now is what to do in the meantime.
This brings me back to the false dichotomy I mentioned above. When we think single women are not yet fully-vested models of biblical femininity, we tend to think there's some different path for single women than for married women. But when we look at the Titus 2 commands, we see that four of the seven commands are irrespective of marital status. When we look at the Proverbs 31 woman, we see the virtues of an excellent wife as recited to a young boy – virtues he was to look for in his future wife. So these passages are equally as applicable to Christian women prior to marriage as they are afterwards.
With all of that background, I would offer this advice for your daughter:
Have you pursued the clear commands for cultivating biblical womanhood found in Titus 2 and Proverbs 31, among other passages? Are there areas you've neglected? If so, here's one major emphasis for this season.
What are your gifts, abilities, and interests? How can you educate yourself in these areas for the glory of God? How can you steward these gifts and abilities for the local church? Nearly every hobby can be used to bless others in the church. If your focus is the same as the Proverbs 31 woman, you'll see that her financial abilities, cooking abilities, trading abilities, and creative abilities were not neglected. They were cultivated for her family's benefit and thereby affected her community, too.
Where can you make an investment in others right now? Are there ministries or relationships that need the flexibility a single woman can sometimes offer? It's important to cultivate this others-oriented perspective if a woman wants to be an effective and God-glorifying wife and mother.
Are you praying to be an effective wife and mother? Are you praying for a husband in expectant faith? (By this, I mean not expecting a husband to be delivered on demand, but in expectation of God who can richly provide us with every spiritual blessing.)
For you and your husband, I would also encourage you to be proactive in your daughter's desire to get married. I assume you must be praying about this already. So I'm going to suggest you start with serving the single men in your church. Your husband's discipleship and mentorship of these men to develop biblical masculinity will serve many single women, possibly also including your daughter. From my numerous conversations with single men, I've learned they need encouragement to trust God by risking rejection and being clear in communication and leadership. While married women can be effective sounding boards, I think married men are the untapped resource in our churches to help this generation recover the glory and priority of Christian marriage. If we want single women to get married, my opinion is that we must encourage married men to evangelize and disciple single men.

There are 3 types of purchase orders that are created from purchase requisitions.
1) The first type is called an "I" PO. This is 6 digits followed by a –I. These must be under $1,000 and can be for material or for a repair being done off site. It cannot be for service done on-site or for any order over $1,000.
2) The second type is called a Standing PO and it has the release number with it. These are vendors that have been set up with a purchase order through University Purchasing. Each purchase requisition generated is turned into a release number against this standing purchase order. Many times there are established labor and material markup rates for PO's. Standing purchase orders are for vendors that are used frequently.
3) The last type is where the purchase order number must be created by University Purchasing. These are requisitions that do not fit into either of the first two types. The PO# may start with a U or a UK but do not have the release number. Since these have to go to University Purchasing it can take a few days to get the PO#.
There are two ways. The first is to search through our on-line Parts Catalogue http://www.facilities.rochester.edu/protected/famis_forms/part_catalog/ The second is to search through Famis on the Parts screen.
Fill out the Parts Update Form and drop off at the stockroom.
MSDS sheets for all stock parts are in Famis on the parts screen as an attachment and are also in the on-line Parts Catalogue.
Every vendor must be approved by University Purchasing before placing an order. The vendor must sign off on the University Terms and Conditions and meet Insurance requirements. The web site to direct the new vendor to is https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/purchasing/supplier/qualification.cfm
Yes there is. Fill out the Purchasing Rush Form and submit with your paperwork and we will get it to Purchasing.
Through the bid process which identifies the most competive Time and Material rates for various commodities such as electrical service, mechanical service, etc. on a regular basis. Check the Bid Schedule for upcoming bids. Also check the Preferred Vendor List for currently suggested vendors to use.
Materials Management is responsible for the gas pumps located at 612 Wilson Blvd. There are both unleaded and diesel fuel that can be used by University departments. Click on the links to find out how the process works.
