TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers
What a difference a year makes. On this date one year ago the Phillies brought in Hunter Pence in a hugely popular trade - remember the cameras following his arrival in that black SUV? It bolstered a team who was 29 games above .500 and held a 6 game lead in the NL East on their way to 102 victories. Exactly one year later, the 12 games under .500 last place Philadelphia Phillies are 12 games under .500 and shipped out the exact same Hunter Pence as well as traded Shane Victorino. The trades signify an enormous turning point for the Phillies. Two thirds of the outfield is gone, the playoff streak is over, the division titles are finished, the sellout streak will soon be gone, and the best era in Phillies history has ended. Ruben Amaro needed to make moves at the trading deadline, and in that regard he most definitely did not disappoint. Whether or not they are good moves, well, we have two full months of meaningless baseball in which to make that decision. At first glance, howe...

A Small Cheese Mystery Solved: Saint-Maure Goat Cheese
The Cheesemonger
Last week, I wrote about some of my recent Canadian travels and cheese eating. Among the highlights was a piece of Sainte-Maure de Touraine, that long, ash-rinded goat cheese from the Loire Valley. It's only possible to find pasteurized versions in the States, because it's not aged over the 60 days required by law for a cheese made with raw milk.
So I snatched up a log when I saw it at the market, complete with "Au Lait Cru" on the label. But when I sliced into it, I was dismayed and surprised.
My knife hit straw. "What?!" I remember saying with alarm. It was my understanding that the pasteurized versions were indicated as such with that piece of straw, running through the log's middle. A raw milk Sainte-Maure, on the other hand, was straight-up cheese, through and through.
I didn't know what to make of it. The label stated it plain and clear, that the cheese was made with raw milk. The AOC, name-protected stamp was also apparent, indicating raw milk. I knew then that I'd been mistaken about that little piece of straw for a long time.
Sure, it's not a huge deal to have been mistaken about a lil' ol' piece of straw, but for me, I felt totally duped. For years, each time I sliced into a log of Sainte-Maure, I imagined the true, raw milk, French version, unadulterated by this interruption. The straw always seemed like a cross we raw milk-fearing Americans were forced to bear. Apparently not.
With just a bit of research, I realized quite quickly that I'd been given wrong information. Steve Jenkins' Cheese Primer states it quite clearly, that all ages of the cheese are "skewered with a dowel or piece of straw piercing from end to end." So there you have it: each and every piece of Saint-Maure, regardless of whether it's made from raw or pasteurized milk, has that straw-lined center. Has anyone else been under the wrong impression? Needless to say, I was glad to have it figured out.
But now onto the cheese. The log we purchased was fairly young, so the paste itself was more creamy than chalky. The flavors were round and balanced, strong but not piquant like an older log would have been, with a long finish. Milky, tangy, and unique, perhaps just slightly more earthy than others I've tasted, though it would have been interesting to do a side-by-side tasting with a pasteurized Saint-Maure.
It was delicious, but I'm not sure it was worth the 21 Canadian dollars. I couldn't believe the price, actually. But finally to know the truth about that piece of straw? Priceless.

Please keep in mind that Canadian milk is *way* more expensive than US milk and thus, all of our cheeses are also more expensive. 2 litres of 2% milk here in a waxed carton pint costs $3.42 (that's almost $7/gallon, folks). Buy it in a plastic jug and it'll cost just about $4.00.
@Christine: Sainte-Maure de Touraine is made in France, so there's no Canadian milk to be found in it!
I had a friend who lived in the next village over from Sainte-Maure and fell in love with the cheese while visiting there. Every time I think of it, I'm tres sad that I can't buy the "real" version here in the US. Will keep my eyes out for it on my next trip to Canada.
yummy recipe Sainte-Maure Goat Cheese Feuilleté:
My apology! I was confused by the remark about the Canadian price of the cheese. One way or another, the fact remains, there's no 'cheap' cheese to be found in canada (that I know of, anyway). Even the most basic brick of store brand mozzarella is expensive compared the the price of equivalent products in the US.
I had never heard of straws in cheese. So that being said that photo totally freaked me out at first.
This price of groceries in general leads my friends from the Vancouver area to come down to Washington for groceries.
The price of the cheese in Canada has to do with the support for the dairy industry. There is a yearly maximum of foreign cheese which may be imported at a low tariff; anything over and above that level is charged a high tariff. A couple of years ago, there was a run on parmesan, and the annual limit was hit quite early, and parmesan prices went into the stratosphere (not that they are low to begin with!).
Did you have the chance to try Le Cendrillon by alexis de Portneuf while you were in Quebec (I'm guessing you were in Quebec because of different legislation vis-à-vis raw milk cheese)? One of my favourite goat cheeses anywhere.
Quebec cheese is delicious! For that size of log, I'd say it was worth the 21 Canadian for it. I've bought cheese a quarter of the size for 8 Canadian dollars. Specialty cheese must be cheap in America.

Motorcycle builder, KTM , has made a serious name for itself in the industry with some of the most versatile and awe-inspiring enduro bikes in the market. Taking their expertise and know-how from their success at the MX World Championship Series, KTM has crafted a fleet of bikes that are as versatile as the sun is hot.
One of the more popular bikes is the new 350 EXC-F , which combines the ultra-easy handling of a 250 with the powerful performance of a 450. Taking the two and building a bike out of it, KTM has come up with a bike that offers maximum chances of victory for professionals and maximum fun factor for amateurs.
The extremely wide rev range and powerful performance of the DOHC high-tech four-stroke and the efficient rideability of the new 350 EXC-F set the tone for previously unattainable enduro characteristics. The new 350 EXC-F's state-of-the-art 349cc four-stroke engine excels with an extremely wide usable rev range and the performance of an engine with much greater displacement. A laterally positioned balancer shaft, which acts as the drive for both timing chain and water pump, eliminates the vibration typical of this model type, ensuring a smooth ride.
The 350 EXC-F also has a Keihin engine management system with an electronic fuel injection for spontaneous responsiveness and maximum performance from the engine. Another critical element of the 350 EXC-F is the crankshaft, which KTM engineers focused on to reduce the reciprocating weight and fine adjustment of the rotating masses. With this, KTM managed to combine minimum vibration with an outstanding free-revving nature and optimum traction, resulting in a bike that just makes your adrenaline pump every time you get a chance to ride it.
Find out more about the KTM 350 EXC-F after the jump.

CARVINGS: Many manufactures use only machine or spindle carvings while others touch up machine carving to add a bit of hand work. At Karges, we let the machine remove enough wood to faintly outline the carving shape. Then our hand carvers completely recarve all surfaces to attain a fully hand-carved piece. Look for crisp edges, undercuts, chisel marks, "imperfect" vein lines and signature. Most Karges pieces are signed by the carver. Look for initials stamped into the inside top of a leg, inside the left door frame or in some other unobtrusive place.
DRAWER CONSTRUCTION: The Karges line is very diverse with virtually no standardized drawer sizes. We make each drawer to fit a specific case. Construction is of solid red oak with dovetail joints in front and back. Inside surfaces are finely sanded, filled, and lacquer/wax sealed. As Mr. Karges, Sr. said, "We have to make the edges smooth so as not to tear the ladies' nylons." Look for dovetails at front and back, undersides free of knots, and wooden glides. Smell the wax/lacquer coating. Feel the smooth inside edges.
DOOR CONSTRUCTION: Where design dictates, doors are constructed not of the well-known, double-dowel jointery but of a much stronger, more complicated method called double splining. Although double splining requires more operations, it allows for 15 times more gluing surface. The resulting joint, much like a mended bone following a fracture, is stronger than the original material. Look at top and bottom edges of a door. Note the sandwiched look which is the double spline joint.
VENEERING: The beauty of hardwood veneer creates flexibility and interest in furniture. Veneers are usually cut 1/32 of an inch in thickness allowing the cabinetmaker to match almost identical slices. Veneer can be book matched, 4-way butt matched, slip matched or arranged in a sunburst, herringbone or checkered inlay pattern. Look for repeating patterns in wood grain, each slightly different fromm its counterpart. Note changes in texture. Feel variations below the lacquer finish in checkerboard or herringbone inlay and ebony lines.
HAND DECORATION: Although furniture is most often decorated with silk-screened or strenciled patterns, Karges artists use a method hundreds of years old called pounce and pattern. The artist lays a perforated paper pattern on the furniture and rubs the pattern with a chalk bag leaving a very faint chalk outline. Working from an open palette, the artist then applies lacquer colors creating a design much like an original on each piece. Look for irregular, asymmetric brush strokes and a signature. Each Karges hand decorated item will be signed by the artist either in a drawer or initialed on the piece.
FORESTS: One of God's greatest gifts to man is our planet's trees; therefore, we at Karges feel that furniture should not be a disposable item. Further, we understand that it is in all of our best interests to treasure and nurture our world forests. We believe it is important to seek suppliers who use sound environmental policies. Learn about the environmental philosophy of the furniture manufacturer and the harvesting and replanting policies used by their lumber suppliers.

PLAYERS: Mark Lowe, Kevin Gregg, Peter Moylan
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers have signed righty reliever Mark Lowe to a minor-league deal with an invitation to Spring Training. Lowe provides further depth to an already deep bullpen corps. He was a solid strikeout man as recently as 2011, but has never been anything more than a back of the pen arm, with a career 4.10 FIP. —– The Dodgers are bringing Kevin Gregg in to camp on a minor-league deal with an invitation to Spring Training. I realize it's just a minor-league invitation and Gregg is terrible so he's not likely to beat out the likes of a Peter Moylan or the aforementioned Lowe, but the thought of Gregg taking up a roster spot with a K/9 IP rate that's been declining for four years, a walk rate near five per nine, a FIP around five the last two years, and a negative fWAR in three of the last four years is nauseating. OY. VEY. He's probably going to the make the team out of camp. Because really, it makes no sense that he should ever pitch in the majors again, let alone for a team with a deep relief corps, so … of course. ===== Greg Zakwin is the founder of the site Plaschke Thy Sweater Is Argyle.

Robert Griffin III: 'My Relationship With God is My Most Important Influence' (Gospel Light Minute #51) - Ministry Videos
2,114 views
He went further to say, 'Whenever you can be a Christian and come to a Christian university like Baylor and make a difference like this whole football team has, it's great. [God] gives you the stage to make a difference and not to just talk about yourself, but lift Him up. There are a lot of different types of Christians everywhere, but my biggest thing is it's not our job to judge; it's just our job to go out, praise Him, let people know what He's doing, and let people follow if they want to. So I praise God, I thank him for everything. Purposefully, you live every day for Him, and when He gives you the opportunity to speak up for Him or to do something in His name, you do it." The young man that I am talking about is Robert Griffin III, better known as RG3.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab
By KBB.com Editors
The Ford F150 is the bestselling pickup truck (and vehicle, for that matter) in the country, but when you combine the sales of the Chevrolet Silverado with the nearly-identical GMC Sierra, it's a different story. The General Motors pickups outsell the Ford handily and also outsell all the import-label pickup trucks combined. This means GM has a lot riding on its all-new Chevrolet Silverado, because this truck will be its standard-bearer for years to come. With that in mind, GM engineers and designers have made a veritable shipload of changes to the pickup, including an improved chassis, more precise steering and a quieter, more upscale interior offering two completely different looks. Meanwhile, the Silverado offers segment-leading fuel economy thanks to the new line of Active Fuel Management-equipped V8 engines. And for those with an ecological bent, a Flex-Fuel E85-capable engine is also available.
If you want to tailor your pickup truck to your exact requirements, the Chevrolet Silverado enables you to do just that with a wide variety of configurations, bed lengths and trim levels. The Silverado's V8 engine lineup offers Active Fuel Management technology and Flex-Fuel E85 capability.
The only quibble we have with the Silverado is the baffling array of choices buyers havemultiple trim levels, cab sizes, bed lengths and even instrument panels. Plus the Silverado Classic (the previous design) further muddies the waters for potential buyers.
The Silverado has been completely re-designed and re-engineered for the 2007 model year. While the old model was a bestseller, the new one is better than the previous version.
Driving Impressions Because it rides on the new GM full-size truck platform, the Chevrolet Silverado offers a markedly better ride-and-handling combination than its predecessor. The new platform includes a fully boxed frame...(for more chassis stiffness), coil-over-shock front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, and the result is a surprisingly maneuverable and comfortable vehicle. Our lengthy test drive took us over rough, washboard gravel roads, yet the Silverado's cabin remained quiet and composed. We found it hard to choose between the "pure pickup" interior and the "luxury-inspired" interior, because both were handsome and functional. While the available 4.3-liter V6 could probably get most jobs done, the Silverado can also be equipped with a variety of V8 engines, most with 5.3-liter displacement. For those who'd like to tow their houses behind their trucks a 6.0-liter 367-horsepower aluminum block V8 is available as well. Power delivery with each V8 engine we tested was more than ample, and we were impressed with the smooth delivery of power through the electronically-controlled Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Chevrolet has made its StabiliTrak electronic stability control system standard on crew cab models, and it is available on extended cab models as an option.
Big knobs
In a welcome bow to those who work hard to earn their keepand who live in frigid climesthe Silverado has knobs, switches and door handles that can be easily operated while wearing gloves.
Active Fuel Management
The Active Fuel Management system available in four different V8s cuts the operation of four cylinders when they are unneeded and enhances fuel economy.
Because the Silverado was part of an extensive reworking of both full-size pickups and full-size SUVs, it features two distinct interiors. The WT and LT trim levels feature the "pure pickup" interior that features larger controls and a double glovebox, while the LTZ trim level features the same "luxury-inspired" interior that is also used in Chevrolet's LTZ-trim full-size sport utilities, Tahoe and Suburban. Both instrument panels are mounted lower and farther forward for an increased feeling of spaciousness and visibility. And both interior designs are attractive but, as you might guess, the up-level LTZ will be a hit with the suburban set, while others might favor the more functional traditional truck treatment. One area that everyone will agree on is the back-seat area in the crew cab models, which offers significantly improved room and comfort. The stadium-style rear seat has a 60/40-split design and folding center armrest. It can be easily folded up with one hand to provide an uninterrupted load floor. Cloth seats are standard on WT and LT models; leather seating is available on LT models along with a six-way, power-adjustable driver's seat. A lockable storage bin is built into a new 40/20/40-split bench front seat. The bin can accommodate a laptop computer and features a 12-volt power outlet.Exterior
"Pure pickup"that's how GM designers describe the exterior of the new Silverado. With the widest track in the segment, the Silverado is substantial but it eschews the bulbous but juvenile muscularity of some of its competitors. Instead, it looks tailored and subdued front to rear. Highlights include narrow gaps between body panels, enabled by the new version's significantly stiffer frame that limits body flex. The new horizontal grille is divided by a thick bright metal bar that flanks a bold Chevrolet "bow tie" symbol. Designers also took special pains to integrate the pickup box while at the same time making it taller. Efforts were also made to limit the typically big gaps between tires and fenders in order to give the truck a more refined appearance without sacrificing utility. Standard wheels are 17 inches in diameter, while 18- and 20-inch wheels are also available. Entry to the rear seat/storage area of extended cab models is eased with new rear access doors that open 170 degrees, and power-operated rear side windows lower completely into the access doors.
The Silverado comes in four trim levelsWT (work truck), 1LT, 2LT and LTZand that means the vehicle can be configured to meet what's envisioned for it from strictly commercial use to luxurious personal use. The base WT trim level includes a four-speed automatic transmission, tire pressure monitoring system, power rack-and-pinion steering, anti-lock brakes (ABS), air conditioning, tinted glass, full instrumentation and two auxiliary power outlets. The 1LT adds cruise control, compass and temperature-display rearview mirror, power windows, door locks and mirrors, remote keyless entry and CD/MP3 player audio system. Opting for the 2LT level nets you the 5.3L V8 engine with Active Fuel Management, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, six-way power front bucket seats, 17-inch custom aluminum wheels and steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls. The high-luxe LTZ brings with it niceties like 12-way power heated front bucket seats, leather-appointed seats front and rear, premium instrument panel, power-folding power-adjustable heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, MP3-compatible six-disc CD changer with auxiliary input jack and Bose premium speaker system, rear audio system controls, remote starting system and heated washer fluid system.
The multiple trim levels should allow you to fine-tune your choice based on the equipment level you want, but the Silverado can also be optioned in several ways. It offers a dazzling array of five suspension systems, each tailored to suit specific driving requirements. They include Z83 for a solid, smooth ride, Z85 for enhanced handling and trailer towing, Z71 for enhanced off-road capability, Z60 for street performance with 20-inch wheels and NHT for maximum towing capacity. The StabiliTrak electronic stability control system is standard on crew cab models and available on select extended cab models. A choice of two- and four-wheel-drive models, various cabs and bed lengths and a variety of axle ratios are also offered.
While we expect the 4.3-liter V6 and 4.8-liter V8 to be more than adequate in work truck applications, we recommend the 5.3-liter V8 engines, some with cast iron blocks and some with aluminum. And for those with a thirst for power (and towing capacity) the 6.0-liter with Active Fuel Management and variable valve timing is a gem. It offers significantly more power and torque (pulling force) with very little penalty in fuel economy.

"Bought it used at 15,000 miles from a fleet rental place. I've had it for 4 months so far and put 5,000 more miles on it. I test drove Chevy, Dodge, and Ford pickups. You know it's a good truck when the only thing you have to complain about is that the carpet floor mat is starting wear from where my heel sits when driving! It drives great and is incredibly smooth on the road. The instrument panel is spot on accurate! It actually gets the EPA's mpg estimates. I average 18.7 mpg commuting. Between 21 and 22 mpg while going 65-70 mph. I gave it a 9/10 for driving dynamics only because it doesn't have the acceleration that F-150's do, but it still is a great driving and handling truck."

"I own an LTZ. Has lots of bells and whistles that the standard Silverado's lack. Love the heated washer fluid in the winter, heated seats, and auto folding mirrors. There is a setting to allow single mirror or both mirrors to automatically readjust to aid in parallel parking and it's a handy feature. Bottom line its a truck. If you get on the gas you can watch the gauge move. It rides rougher than a passenger car but I don't hesitate to take it during long road trips with the family or friends. Five adults can fit in the truck comfortably. When I have needed it to pull she does and still has room to spare. I average 18 mph on the highway and about 14 in the city. Not horrible but not great. The 5.3L leaves something to be desired after abandoning my 6.2L on the Suburban but overall the truck has not let me down and still has a relatively low operating cost far as maintenance. I am starting to see some minor cosmetic wear on the steering wheel that will lead me searching for replacement OEM parts since they bug me but truck still has a lot of life left in it hopefully. My wife thinks I love this truck more than her. Who knows it's a pretty close call. Loving my Chevy. Beats the Ford 2013 F150 I have to drive at work and mine is just an 2008 model :)"

"I bought a brand new 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 off the lot in 2003 and I have only great things to say about the vehicle. That's why I decided to trade up finally and I am loving my new 2011 Chevrolet Silverao 1500 LTZ. They are rock solid trucks and I will never switch to another brand. I had over 500,000 miles on my 2003 and as long as you maintain your fluids, oils and general maintenance, you will be a very happy chevrolet owner."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 25,000overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "acceleration, interior, suspension, handling"
Cons: "braking"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"Overall this has been a great truck to own. I'm not going to list every little detail that I like or dislike, but I will hit the high points that I found are important to me on the vehicle. Appearance is simple and streamlined. Remote start is a big plus especially in the winter months. Takes approximately 5mins for the vehicle to blow hot air so you or your kids get in. Vehicle will automatically shutoff 10-15mins after starting. Interior is straight forward, panels are not cluttered. Handling is amazing. You will slide out of your seats before the vehicle (Z71 4x4 model) rolls over. Suspension is very good with hitting bumps and not jarring you around in the vehicle. Off roading with the vehicle has been a blast. If you do hit a pot hole harder than normal the suspension seems to handle it really well. The on the go switch from 2WD to 4WD is quick. The turning radius when 4WD is active is not as good as I had anticipated. Acceleration is very quick, throttle response is outstanding. Shifting is smooth on acceleration. However, upon making a turn, and accelerating again, my vehicle does have a tendency to drop from 2nd or 3rd gear down to 1st gear and jerking your head back. Have not quite figured out the reason for this, other than the 6-speed transmission and rpm levels cause it. Braking is pretty good, but I do find applying the brakes hard and due to the weight of my vehicle, stopping is not as good as I had hoped for. I owned a 2010 F-150 XLT 2WD crew cab that would stop on a dime. Gas mileage is ok, I average 17.2 mpg driving 32 miles round trip to work and home. Long trips 18-22mpg. The cab is roomy and easily holds 5 people comfortably. I hope this helps anyone considering buying this vehicle."

"Purchased this new in Feb 09 about 10K - front rotors warped (warranty covered about 15K - rear brakes sticking (warranty covered At 20k I find the rims are corroding terribly. They are pitted, coating came off in spots. about 37k - check engine light small evap leak (dealer said gas cap.. hah $150 Very next week - check engine light AGAIN -same code(dealer said now fuel pump leaking - warranty) DID I NEED THE CAP, PROBABLY NOT! Dealer insisted it was bad anyway About 38k - power door locks failing. $100 About 50k - power window switch bad. not fixed yet AT 52K noticed rust on bottom edge of tailgate AND on the inside of the rear bumper About 58k - Front wheel bearing bad, wheel darn near fell off $395. This took out the front brake pads and rotor for another $300 NOW.... while doing my periodic checking of fluids etc.. I find the tranny a quart low :( (and it ain't leakin) So, YOU tell ME how you'd rate it! Then, to top it all off, I contacted GM to discuss these issues on two separate occassions when I had the problems around the 36K mark with the door locks and gas cap, looking for at least some partial help. On both occasions they convinced me to take it to the dealer for diagnosis and 'then we'll talk'. My fault for trusting their word. Never heard back from them either time and I had to contact them again after about a month to see 'what's up with this'. Both times they said 'sorry, can't help you' So, personally, after owning Gm vehicles for 30 years, I'm done with them."

"I am the second owner and it's my first truck. It quickly became one of my favorite vehicles I've owned. MPG's are good for a full size truck, even better if you add a Diablo Intune with a custom ECU program. Gives better HP and torque as well. It has more than enough power stock, but who doesn't like more? I like the looks of this truck vs other trucks of the same year, except for maybe the Tundra. Honestly I like the Tundra more, but people want way too much for used ones. For the price, the Silverado is a better deal. However, the interior leaves much to be desired. It's very dreary with nothing nice to look at except loads of black plastic. Seats are quite comfortable and if you have the jump seat it provides a great place to rest your arm or do paperwork. The three cup holders is great in theory, but do not hold larger drinks very well. Better hope your drink has a cap on it or is in a can. Large fountain drinks do not stay in very well if you have to take a corner or stop abruptly. I had a large drink fly out and dump between the passenger side door and seat while going around a round-about on a Navy base. That was lovely. There's plenty of storage as well and adding a tool box under the rear seat makes the space very useable unless you want to put a sub-woofer down there. Overall, a really great truck. I have not had a single issue with it."

Course Description:
Cultural changes in the family structure, the shifting role of parents, and the glorification of violence, drugs, and gang activity in popular culture have all contributed to changes in the behavior dynamics that impact students, schools, classrooms, and teachers. Negative social behaviors in classrooms and schools affect students' ability to learn. To help educators create a positive moral community, this course introduces historical and modern concepts of character and considers how to foreground those concepts for students' learning sake. Participants will study how to identify character issues in their own classrooms and how to mobilize resources from parents and community members. Integrating character education into the core curriculum through problem-solving and conflict-resolution activities will help educators focus on the notion of character with their students as they improve relationships in their communities within and beyond the school.
1. Knowledge –at the end of this course, participants will understand
a. The effects of an unstable home and learning environment on character,
b. The need for character development programs in schools,
c. The teacher's roll in the process of fostering student character, and

2. Skills –after this course, participants will be able to apply
a. Strategies to develop and implement classroom activities that promote character development,
b. Strategies to analyze and critique classroom curriculum to incorporate character development,
c. Strategies to develop a plan for morally disciplining students, and
d. Strategies to develop character through conflict and problem solving.
3. Dispositions – participants will appreciate out of this

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
It was something of a migration from a small free to play MMO that was going terribly sour to something more stable for me and the group of friends that I started with. We were the forum dwelling, blog hopping, "theorycrafting" vocal hardcore sector of a certain game that will not be named that simply was not run well. We were the server first types. First to hit level cap, first to finish certain content, first and only people to loot what was essentially that game's Sulfuras in Molten Core days, the guys you did not want to see coming at you in a battleground, etc. One of us came up with the idea of giving the WoW free trial a whirl and we all rolled Night Elves and ran around Teldrassial with absolutely no idea what we were doing. All the crap we had done, all the great stuff we had created, all the prestige and haters we had gathered were nowhere to be found in Azeroth. From a dry, dreary game that we were still playing just out of habit to something completely different. Something you could tell tell the designers poured their hearts into making.
I've been playing ever since, but the group I started with gravitated away from each other after awhile.

The focus of Plan X appears to be the build out of the cyber warfare capabilities…
On September 27, DARPA will hold a workshop to flesh out the government cyberwar strategy called "Plan X." The one day workshop consists of a general access session for government employees and contractors, along with a Secret-clearance and above closed session to draw a roadmap for the future of America's cyberwar forces.
While the next great virus won't be proposed at the Plan X workshop, the Defense Department's cyberarmy infrastructure development plans (and the sweet government contracts that go with it) will. According to the Washington Post's Ellen Nakashima, Plan X has received $110 million in funding for the next five years.

Uh Oh… White Horses takes a risky expedition into 'concept issue' territory with:
…where over 100 humans scour 27 separate coastlines, in 18 countries, over four days, and see what they see.
An issue devoted to the magic of the midpoint: the equinox.
Did it work? Did anything remotely cosmic happen when the sun was directly over the equator and the earth's two hemispheres were, for the briefest of moments, perfectly balanced to the sun?
Well, yes and no. Lots of things happened in a nice kind of synchronicity. A surfer walked a tightrope 100 feet up from a chilly Canadian road cutting, while at the same moment, on the other side of the world, a White Horses photographer hovered in a chopper above Fiji's Cloudbreak… that kind of stuff.
Most of all people went surfing, had little adventures all over the place, and either photographed or wrote about 'em. Several fine contributors went to extraordinary lengths to create great material, which is all the more touching as Horsies' editorial budget is modest to say the least.
Personally, your editor isn't quite sure if this is one of the better issues of the Horse or if it didn't quite gel. But thanks to the epic efforts of all involved, there's still daylight between the horse and the other surf mags out there.
We do believe you'll enjoy issue eight. And remember, whether you order single issues or a subscription through this site, we'll send Horsies to your door pronto, and packaged in a splendid cardboard carton.» SUBSCRIBE » STOCKISTS

By Dustin Rowles | Videos | June 21, 2014 | Comments ()
Musician and X-Factor (UK edition) judge Cheryl Cole appeared on The Graham Norton Show last night, and a good chunk of time was devoted to the massive tattoo Cheryl Cole got after she recovered from malaria. It covers her backside from the mid of her back to the bottom of her butt, and it's a damn fine tattoo. For now.
As always, I reserve the right to change my opinion when she's 80.
Watch Norton chat with Cole about the tattoo, the motivation, and the cost of it.

I love making risotto (I find the stirring therapeutic) and this is my new favorite risotto recipe. I followed the recipe as written, except I needed more liquid so I used more water. I served the risotto with roasted brussel sprouts, and some bread and "stinky" cheese. It was the perfect winter meal.
Butternut Squash Risotto

I thought the dish was really good, I used shallots instead of the onion (personal taste choice) and steamed the squash instead of boiling it (for time's sake). I also dropped the parsley and infused the butter with fresh sage (just heated butter with the fresh sage leaves and then removed the leaves after a few mintues) for that sage-y, fall taste. The sage butter and beef stock (I used organic, reduced sodium stock) really balanced the sweetness of the squash. My husband liked it, and is not usually a fan of butternut squash. I served it with a baby spinach/arugula mix, shaved parm chz with a vinegrette. I will make again.

This risotto was unbelievably yummy! I added a couple of cremini mushrooms and a little less butternut squash because that is what I had in my fridge. I will definitely make this again.
lucolia Posted: 02/22/09
excellent! While taking a little longer than a rushed dinner, easy to make and delicious in its simplicity. I grated the squash and it all blended well.
Run-Around-Sue Posted: 03/15/10
This is a Thanksgiving staple at our house. I make a vegan version by subbing veggie broth for the beef broth, omitting the butter, and serving the cheese on the side. Every year, it gets rave reviews from both the vegetarians and carnivores at the table. Yum!
lauribear Posted: 01/27/10
This risotto recipe is outstanding! I only add 1 tablespoon of butter at the end and the flavour is very rich. I have made this recipe at least 10 times and am never disappointed. Serve it at your next dinner party!
JessicaLuu Posted: 06/06/10
This is okay. I might substitute chicken broth or veggie broth next time instead of beef. It might be better as a side dish.
crosscourt Posted: 05/29/12
Great. Sticky because of the cheese but that's a good thing; I loved it.

Heather, I've seen the cat hammock offered...can't remember the site though. I'd bookmarked it because my spoiled furry creature would love it ! Unfortunately, mom likes hammocks too. I bought one, and she races out onto my deck to claim "FIRSTS!!". Dang cat is worse than all 3 of my kids were... ;)

CNET Top 5
With or without its new Fusion hybrid drive, Apple finally has a Mac Mini that competes well against mainstream Windows PCs in the same price range.
The 21.5-inch iMac will be a compelling lower-cost all-in-one for Mac loyalists, but you can get more capabilities from similarly priced Windows all-in-ones.

At IFA 2014, Alcatel announced a slew of midrange 4G LTE devices that come in several colors and five different sizes.

The Sonos Play:5 shrinks the Sonos streaming music experience down to a compact single-speaker system with great sound, which you can control from any iOS device or Android smartphone.
With the same elegant design as its 20-inch, 2.4GHz sibling, the 24-inch, 2.8GHz iMac offers 30 percent more screen area and a modest performance boost. The iMac competes with the PC desktop market now better than perhaps any previous Mac to date, but the added cost of the larger, faster model might put off some buyers--especially if you are a gamer or an upgrade enthusiast.
The Mac Mini remains unique as the smallest mainstream desktop, but competition from Dell and HP has narrowed the gap in features while also offering room for expansion, and at a better price. If your goal is saving space, the Mac Mini is a winner. If you'd rather get the best deal, there are better options.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan is an excellent sequel to the original, maintaining a great value for a luxury sedan while adding a host of comfort and safety amenities.
Do a lower price and claimed performance improvements enhance the small-sensored ILC's appeal?

fraises des bois before Saturday SF or East Bay
Uggh, they were just available on Good Eggs not two days ago, but I just looked and they have since been removed. I'm sorry I didn't catch the vendor, either.

The vendor is Winters Fruit Tree and they are there on Wednesdays as well.

Fat Angel Bakery (Fairfax), good as ever
I hit this place almost every Sunday during cycling training season when I find myself in Fairfax, which is often a perfect place for a break. I've been unable to resist the pear, walnut, and Point Reyes blue cheese scone, the bear claw (NOT your typical city donut shop variety), and muffins. Everything I've had has been excellent, and they serve Equator coffee.

Easy Breezy Frozen Yogurt and Frozen Custard - Newly Opened in Inner Sunset, SF
Feb 14, 2014Spenbald in San Francisco Bay Area
Your original post was right around the time I encountered these for the very first time. They are available from DeSantis Farms from Fresno at the Wednesday Heart of the City farmer's market at UN Plaza in SF. The farm has all kinds of specialty citrus and tree fruit. Spotted today: finger limes, sweet limes, buddha's hand citron, and all number of different mandarins, oranges, etc. In season, they have loquats, bitter almonds, and an array of persimmons. Prices are pretty high, but the variety is stunning.
As for the blood limes, I had found so little about them in any research I had done. I've purchased a couple dozen or so over the past couple years. To me, they are notably sweeter than your standard lime, and by this time of year, the flesh is a rich, dark red (I first saw them showing up in the late summer/early fall, when both the skin and flesh were green). Other than cocktails, I haven't found much use for them. Aside from the novelty, I'd much rather have pounds upon pounds of blood oranges, usually for quite a bit cheaper.

Bitters, Bock & Rye: A bar with 'cue [San Francisco]
Lots of buzz about this Polk Gulch bar that started a couple weeks ago as they were softly opening a new, expanded dining area. They are now offering a menu of house-smoked BBQ in addition to a handful of specialty cocktails. I stopped in for dinner and drinks prior to a GAMH show last week and was overall quite pleased.
Happy hour specials run from 4 until 7 and are quite good. Specialty cocktails are $2 off, All beer (drafts & bottles) are $1 off, and sandwiches are also discounted either $1 or $2 (can't remember as I didn't have one). I had a Smoked Jalapeño Margarita, which was nicely balanced, though the (smoked) paprika salt rim was gratuitous.
But let's get to the 'cue: I shared a three-meat plate with sausage, brisket (choice of fatty or lean, I chose the fatty), and pork ribs. All plates come with two sides, and we had collard greens and hush puppies, and opted to split an appetizer of mac & cheese (also offered as a side, but not all sides are offered separately). The mac & cheese came out in a mini-skillet and was beautifully creamy, though could have used a touch more seasoning. The meats were pretty good; the brisket shined best: beautifully smoky and fatty, as ordered. Sausage was well-spiced if not a touch overcooked, and the pork ribs suffered a strange duality of having an almost impenetrable bark with some decently moist and flavorful meat underneath. Collards had a great vinegary tang and the hush puppies were tender and flavorful, maybe leaning toward a touch too onion-y. Meats come unsauced, but a four-pack of housemade sauces arrives with your food, including (if I can piece them all together again) a mustard sauce, a NC vinegar sauce, a sweeter Texas bbq sauce, and yep, can't remember the other one.
Prices are reasonable, and the bar is well-stocked. Rumor has it they'll be brewing their own beer soon (you can see a couple of tanks in the bar area).
Eager to hear if others have tried this yet.

I clicked through at least 8 different categories and couldn't find one difference in the prices. And in some cases, the offerings were greater for the Hayes location. The beef category, for instance.

NEW: Elmira Rosticceria - sandwich, coffee shop, breakfast/brunch in SF Tenderloin - any reports?
It is indeed truffle oil. I went in for breakfast a couple weeks ago and walked by a server putting a beautiful plate of eggs benedict down on a table and was accosted by that unmistakable stench of truffle oil. Such a shame. I wonder if they make the hollandaise before they put that foul stuff in it so that you can order it without. This thread almost prompted a rant from me about truffle oil, and wondering what establishments in the Bay Area are accommodating enough to prepare their food that incorporates truffle oil in a way in which it may be omitted. For one, I can tell you that the Little Green Cyclo food truck typically makes their garlic noodles with truffle oil, but will gladly leave it off for those who do not want it.

Where do you purchase broccoli rabe in San Francisco?
Happy Boy is at Noe Valley on Saturday mornings and Mission Community Market (aka Mercado) on Thursday afternoons/evenings. Some of their produce can run a little on the high side, but their broccoli rabe (or rapini, depending on the season, I suppose) has usually been a steal.
I *think* Tomatero occasionally has it. I usually run into them at the Haight market on Wednesday afternoons, but they are also at the Mission market.
In terms of retail, I almost always see it at Andronico's in the Sunset and WF on Stanyan & Haight.

Hummus - SF Dish of the Month July 2013
I've found all the hummus I've tried from the Hummus Guy (at Heart of the City FM on Wednesdays) to be quite good. Also has garlicky-spicy olives (both black and green), tsatsiki, and INCREDIBLE harissa. Seriously, if you love some heat, this stuff is awesome, and it keeps forever. They are heavy-handed with the samples whenever I've seen them, so you can basically taste their whole portfolio. I do agree that homemade is best, but The Hummus Guy does a fine job.

Seeking good house-made muhammara
I had a reliable source of delicious muhammara in the Boston area but haven't found anything like it around San Francisco. I do realize I probably won't find it in the city, so is there a recommendation for somewhere else where I can buy a tub in the area? Perhaps I'll need to explore making my own.

Tres Leches Cake -- Delessio vs. Tartine? [San Francisco]

NEW: Elmira Rosticceria - sandwich, coffee shop, breakfast/brunch in SF Tenderloin - any reports?
Went last week to try the porchetta sandwich. Very stark space, but neat and clean. Menu offerings vary by day, but I think the tripe and porchetta are staples. Thought a $7.50 sandwich was a pretty good value ($10 being a pretty standard baseline in the city these days, though to be fair, this wasn't quite as large as many sandwiches in the city). Porchetta comes on ciabatta with a salsa verde. The crispy skin is more like pork rinds than the crispy bits on the Roli Roti sandwich. Overall, I thought the meat itself could use some more salt, but the sandwich certainly went down with ease. Had a side of the roasted potatoes (which sit under the pork, soaking up the juices) and they were still remarkably crisp and were themselves seasoned well. Small cup of giardiniera (cuke, carrot, cauliflower) accompanied the sandwich, and was a welcome, acidic bite to complement the richness of the fatty pork. I will come back for sure. I really like what this place is doing.
Jun 12, 2013Spenbald in San Francisco Bay Area
Tomatero has had theirs at Upper Haight and Mission Mercado. Seems like fewer each week than last year, and the prices are a bit higher, but they've still been delicious.

Zagat's choice for top Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco,
The 370 GG location (closer to Larkin) was the scene of a significant fire at the end of February. I walked by the other day and it definitely did not look like it was open. SF Appeal quotes an employee from the Mission location as saying it was unsure whether it would open ever again: http://sfappeal.com/2013/02/el-castil...
Adding more confusion, there are 2 locations of Taqueria Castillo: one at McAllister & Leavenworth and one in Union Square on Mason near Turk & Market. No idea if these are a spinoff or parent of Castillito.

Boston Hound Report: I finally ate something other than Asian Food

Thanks for the follow up and further explanation. I've found, to my dismay, that some on the SF Chowhound Board in particular are very quick to discount, chastise, and belittle, and are incredibly pedantic. It unfortunately belies the spirit of Chowhound in general.

new on Gough@Grove: dragonEats & Hayes Valley Bakeworks [San Francisco]
I've been deeply disappointed by my visits here. I want to love them for what they're doing, and the descriptions of their food sound delicious, but they've failed to deliver multiple times. And for the price of their products, I really want more, so I just walk right by now. The cinnamon roll was hefty, but didn't deliver much in terms of bacon, maple, or cinnamon flavor. Pretty much just a dough bomb. Cookies were fine, but too small to justify the price. Haven't tried any of the lunch items, but not likely to be back.

This is unfair of you. The OP received a confirmation from restaurant staff that his/her request would be accommodated. Regardless of this, it doesn't excuse the bizarre service they encountered.

Nosa Ria in Hayes Valley - Spanish import shop with food + cookware [San Francisco]
Seemingly EGREGIOUS markup on Iberico last I was in a few weeks ago. They very cutely mark the price at $8/oz., which, of course, amounts to $128/lb. I had to stifle a laugh when I saw that. Headed across town to Say Cheese in Cole Valley where they were offering Iberico for $80/lb, and for what it's worth, the color of the ham was much lighter and fresh looking than at Nosa Ria. Unless I'm really getting it wrong on what they were offering, I can't imagine spending my money here. I want to love this newish addition, but all of it screams "precious Hayes Valley" to me.

Actually, I've been meaning to create a real pu pu platter thread [San Francisco]
SF, and primarily from Civic Center area west and north of Market St. Inner Sunset and Richmond, Hayes/Western Addition.NoPA, Fillmore, etc.
Good I would say means meat that is more tender than rubber, fried chicken and shrimp that are crispy and not burnt, and as little grease as possible. I'd like to avoid candy-red spareribs if at all possible.
Tamales - SF Dish of the Month (Dec 2012)
I am not very well versed in the tamale, and I have yet to try one from the Tamale Lady in the Mission. That said, I have to say I enjoy the vegetarian options by Primavera that I've bought at WF and Andronico's. At around $11/12 for 4, they make an easy, cheap meal (paired with some rice and beans) for dinner and for lunch the next day. I particularly like the flavor of the masa. Probably not the best by any means in the city, but I like them. .
Actually, I've been meaning to create a real pu pu platter thread [San Francisco]
I didn't catch the actual helpful and earnest response to the fake thread posted earlier. And you might ask why in the world, with such good Chinese food in the Bay Area, would someone want to know about a greasy pu pu platter? Truth is, I've got a craving, and I haven't found this delight on many menus, even at the Americanized joints. Are there any decent pu pu platters of note in the city? It's a family tradition to scarf one down on Christmas Eve, and I'll be an orphan this year, so I'm seeking this little bit of comfort.
Marin Sun Farms cafe in Point Reyes Station - one of the best meals I've had in a long time.
Glad you enjoyed your burgers. We stopped by at the end of September before noon on a Saturday. Had been eager to try some burgers. While the flavors were great, both the lamb burger and the beef burger were ordered medium and arrived well-done. Disappointingly dry. And the side of fries, while delicious, is disappointingly small for the price. I'll gladly purchase meat (and we did: chicken breasts and ground beef to grill on our brief escape to the Russian River) from them again, but will probably seek out other meal options.
