It was a dark and stormy night….
Grilled CheeseSeriously, that was some rainstorm last night! So after driving home in the, well, driving rain, I resorted to one of my favorite comfort foods. This grilled cheese was made on big slices of rye bread with black caraway seeds, a combination of jalapeño and Colby/jack cheeses, bacon and tomato. And a sprinkling of parsley flakes. Perfect! I just bought a new camera, the Canon PowerShot ELPH 330HS, so now I have a camera small enough to carry around easily, and boy, does it take great photos for an amateur like me!Hope you stayed safe and dry in Tropical Storm Andrea. (And oh please, weatherman, let us not have the severe hurricane season you are predicting for us!) If you want to see that photo, please visit my new blog site, http://njspice.net/.
Whoosh! The strong wind that freshen the air in the south of France has blown into Princeton. Stephen Distler and Scott Anderson, who also own elements in Princeton, have now opened Mistral, a more casual BYO incarnation of the original fine dining location. (Mistral Chef de Cuisine is Ben Nerenhausen, late of The Restaurant at Meadowood in St. Helena, which has three Michelin stars and a recent Beard Award win.) Mistral is fine, too, but with a focus on small plates which diners can conjure into a snack or a meal, depending on their inclination. Since Mistral is open continuously from 11:00am daily, it's easy to just stop by whenever the mood hits. And I think it will hit frequently! I sampled several dishes at a preview service I attended with a friend, where the staff and kitchen basically practiced on us. What fun! As fast as the kitchen could get them out we tore through the Onsen egg with fregola, fried sunchoke, Korean short rib (o.m.g.), sweetbread canneloni, grilled octopus (o.m.g. again!), housemade bucatini with soft shell crab and a couple of bracingly sour thai lemonades.For dessert we shared the hay-scented panna cotta you see below, and an Andes mint-like slab of chocolate with mint and cucumber. So many delightful tastes on offer here, how will you choose?

Spice It Up!
This custom starter collection of spices from Savory Spice Shop in Princeton has got to be one of the best gifts I've ever thought of.
When my niece got married last summer, she'd lived in her parents' home almost continuously into young adulthood. Her Air Force fiancé was living on Guam, so she flew out to get married, then returned home to New Jersey, and had their baby son just after the New Year. Now he's being reassigned stateside and she's about to set up her first household on her own, without having gone through the whole wedding planning, gift registry thing. Short story: she needs stuff.
And, having lived with her busy, very hard-working parents, been in school, and worked in a restaurant (as a bartender), she maybe hasn't had much chance (or maybe need) to cook for herself.
In school, she went through the hospitality program at Mercer County Community College, which included at least one professional cooking course - more than I've had! But this is different, and when she said she definitely wanted to cook at home, and owned little more than a set of plates, I got tingly all over. What kind of gifts could be closer to my heart?
I immediately thought of giving her a starter set of spices. I knew she wouldn't be into anything too exotic, but wanted enough variety so she at least stands a chance of trying something new without having to make a special trip to the market, so I snuck in some mild curry powder. And I wanted to be sure she tried my favorite gourmet salt, the Maldon Sea Salt at the top of the photo.
In order to do this, I emailed Jon Hauge, who owns Savory Spice Shop in Princeton with his wife, Janet. I did some reasearch on the Internet and cobbled together the list below from various sources. I decided that specialty items like extracts for baking, whole nutmeg/grater, smoked paprika, etc. could wait. (And I've just emailed her about cookware, too…)
I emailed my list off to Jon (yes, he checks and responds to the email on the website!). We had a couple of email exchanges and quick phone calls, and he put it all together, labeled the bottles, and put them in a nice red oak rack, too. All I had to do was give him my credit card info on the phone, and drive by the shop where his staff (thank you Natasha!), deposited the box in the back seat of my car earlier today. So easy, so reasonably priced, and can you tell how proud this aunt is?

Brick Farm Market opens at last
Finally! Brick Farm Market in Hopewell opened this weekend, and I am so glad. For now they are open just Friday/Saturday/Sunday, and when I visited on Sunday they were quite busy, with a full parking lot. It's great to see the community so eager to patronize a new farm-based market.
I bought all sorts of goodies, rich housemade yogurt and ricotta, some Cherry Grove Rosedale cheese, since Double Brook Farm is not making their own yet (they'll establish a creamery in yet another converted gas station down the street eventually), house made pate, and the bread and lardo you see here.
Their fresh meat counter was doing a brisk business too, and Master Butcher Tim Myers hand sliced this lardo for me - their cured meats are made from their own animals by artisan salumeria, Salumeria Biellese. Now I know where to go for pancetta and guanciale!
I also picked up some fancy-schmancy butter and tender young rainbow chard. The prepared foods case was doing a brisk business (lots of families), and there are a few tables for eating. Oh, and a little frangipane (almond) tart, plus a nice little right-sized (i.e. small) "Healthy Muffin" (bran/fruit) for $1.50.
Mushroom Love at Brothers Moon
Chef Will Mooney, who owns Brothers Moon in Hopewell along with his wife, Beth Ann Judge (check out her gorgeous new jewelry store!), was one of the area's first chefs to embrace local products. He's long worked with farmers and other producers to further the locavore movement, and that is what makes a visit to Brothers Moon so special.
I have often written about Will, and used his recipes in my writing, but I had not been to the restaurant in a while, so when he invited me to attend one of his Wednesday Mushroom Love dinners as his guest, I jumped at the chance, and brought along my mushroom-loving friend, Carolyn Edelmann.
The photos you see here are from that delicious dinner, which also included a chat with Alan Kaufman, whose Shibumi Farm mushroom-growing operation has become a favorite source of exotic mushrooms for select chefs. His career path took him through microbiology, hedge fund management, and restaurant ownership (logical, right?). He got into the mushroom game thanks to acclaimed chef Daniel Boulud, who challenged him to come up with a classic French mushroom to rival the ones he had flown in from across the pond every week. Well, one thing led to another, and before you know it, Kaufman has become a respected grower and purveyor of beautiful and delicious exotic mushrooms to top chefs up and down the mid-Atlantic states.
Carolyn and I both started with "Shittake on a Shingle" (wink, wink), creamed shiitakes on toasted brioche, and showered with microgreens.
We split up on the second course, Carolyn going for Grilled King oyster mushroom and asparagus with ramp fritters and pea tops, mint cucumber crème. (n.b. ramps and asparagus are both in the same order, asparagales). I had roasted lemon oyster mushrooms, red onion, local mesclun with shallot, sherry, honey vinaigrette and "shroomed" deviled egg. The mushroom (truffle?) scented eggs were a bit of heaven for sure! And the lemon oysters were a little crisp around the edges, really nice.
Dessert? Mais oui! Chocolate cake with Shiitake ganache and crème Anglaise. That mushroom flavor didn't show at first, but after a couple of bites it was like an echo, a hint, a half-heard whisper. Heavenly!
Special Occasion Desserts Redux
I wrote about special occasion desserts for the Packet recently, but a good chunk of the article and one of the recipes got cut due to a lack of space (they are looong recipes!). So, here's the rest of the article, and if you do want The Pink Cake recipe (From Julie Richardson's "Vintage Cakes") mentioned in it, that ran in the Packet on May 3, the recipe is here.

Knockout Desserts
Special occasions call for special desserts, be it a wedding shower, Mother's Day brunch, graduation party, or just a nice dinner with good friends.
In my many years of dining out, few restaurant desserts stand out, but those that do are invariably made in-house. A kitchen that takes the trouble (and expense) of making their own deserts, much less to employ a pastry chef, is, to me, the mark of a committed restaurant.
The best dessert I ever had still resonates in my mind (and taste buds) years later: pistachio marjolaine at the Union Park dining room in the Hotel Macomber in Cape May. This was at the end of an already successful dinner, and yet my palate got excited all over again when I dug into this creation.
The rectangular marjolaine is a variation of the round dacquoise, which consists of nut-based meringue layered with buttercream. In this case, the components were switched up, the disc of meringue contained cocoa, and pistachio ice cream stood in for buttercream. A creamy milk chocolate sauce provided an additional chocolate component, one of those rare (to me) cases where milk chocolate was indeed a better choice than dark. I've always loved chocolate, meringue, and pistachio nuts, so this dish was a trifecta winner for me.
Another famous dessert involving meringue is the Australian Pavlova, named after the ethereal ballerina, a meringue base topped with whipped cream and fruit. I found variations on all of these in "Meringue," one of my favorite new cookbooks from 2012. I had a hard time choosing which of their recipes to use, with the challenging marjolaine below eventually edging out the easier Lemon Mini-Pavlovas with Lemon Curd Whipped Cream and Blueberries. One could even put together a simple version of the Pavlovas with store-bought meringue shells and purchased lemon curd folded into whipped cream, and topping it with blueberries. But there's no, er, fudging the marjolaine, and sometimes you just want to apply yourself to a knock-out dessert. Think of it as a craft project.
When choosing a special dessert for your party, consider the guests' sophistication level; some people will like something more complicated, others something more straightforward. I usually tend toward the latter, but when it comes to meringue I'll swing right over into the high-concept camp.
Almond Marjolaine with Praline Buttercream
Adapted from "Meringue," Linda Jackson & Jennifer-Evans Gardner, Gibbs Smith (2012)
Serves 6
Note: Marjolaine can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Let stand at room temperate an hour or two before serving. Give a final dusting of powdered sugar just before serving.
Nut Meringue Layers:
Baker's Joy or a nonstick flour-based cooking spray
1 cup blanched whole almonds
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 large egg whites room temperature (save yolks for custard)
1 cup superfine sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup blanched whole pecans
Custard Buttercream:
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 large egg yolks
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup pecans, toasted, cooled, chopped
Powdered sugar
Meringue: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10 x 15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving the paper longer than the sides so you can lift the baked meringue out of the pan. Spray with baking spray.
In a food processor, pulse almonds until fine; then add flour and cocoa and pulse again until mixture is very fine.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until soft peaks form, and then slowly add sugar, about a tablespoon at a time, and beat on high until you have stiff peaks. Fold almond mixture into meringue, being careful not to deflate it. Pour mixture into jelly roll pan, evenly smoothing it across the pan. Bake in middle of oven for 30-35 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
Carefully lift edges of parchment to remove meringue from pan and place on wire rack to cool. Once it is cool, the gently peel off parchment.
Praline: Line a baking sheet with foil. In a dry heavy-bottom small saucepan, cook sugar over moderate heat, stirring with a fork, until melted. Cook, without stirring, swirling the pan, until it turns to a golden caramel. Remove from heat and stir in pecans. Immediately pour mixture onto baking sheet, tilting sheet to make a thin layer; cool completely.
Break praline into pieces and transfer to a sturdy Ziploc bag, flattening the bag to remove the air before sealing it. Crush praline into coarse pieces with a rolling pin. (Will keep 1 week at room temperature, stored airtight.)
Custard Buttercream: In a small saucepan, simmer milk, sugar, and vanilla; stir until sugar is dissolved.
In a medium bowl, whisk yolks and then slowly (so eggs don't scramble) add warm milk in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Transfer to saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 170 degrees. Pour custard through a strainer into a bowl and cool completely.
In bowl of electric stand mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy then beat in custard, a little at a time, until smooth. Beat in 1/2 cup praline, reserving remaining praline for garnish.
To assemble marjolaine: Place meringue onto work surface and cut in half, then cut in half again so you have 4 rectangles. Spread buttercream, save some for sides, on top of each layer then stack them evenly on top of one another. Use an offset spatula to cover the sides with remaining buttercream.
Gently press topping pecans onto top and sides of marjolaine and dust with powdered sugar. Garnish with some of the leftover praline and serve.
Spring Has Sprung (or, What's Been Cooking in My Kitchen)
Ahhh, Easter dinner! It seems ages ago, and I guess it was. I took the trouble to make a rack of lamb, potato galette, and fresh peas with pearl onions.The photo here doesn't show off the galette well at all, so I include a separate photo of that. And although the lamb looks messy on the plate here, it was just delicious, and not as raw as it seems to look! (more…)
Bad Science
There's a lot of bad science out there. Even I, a non-scientist, can tell. We are constantly bombarded with misinformation, and a lot of it has to do with food and health. We have become a nation bizarrely obsessed with health and medicine. It seems that nearly every article in the newspaper is related to health and medicine, as is a huge chunk of the evening news, and much other media. Is that all we think about anymore? Could this obsession be, well, unhealthy? Are we are now the dog being wagged by the medical-pharmaceutical industry?
And is it any wonder, therefore, that some of us have developed, let us say, a certain sense of cynicism when the latest news is blasted out to the world? Do this, don't do that. Eat this, not that. Oh wait, do this or eat that instead of what we told you yesterday. Nowadays I just hit the mute button or turn the page.
Each new study is touted as gospel, and often a mere correlation is mis-interpreted into a cause-and-effect relationship. Correlation does not necessarily mean one thing causes the other! (If more of us understood statistics, and how to interpret them, I suspect we would be less prone to being misled by all this information.)
There are sites that try to de-bunk some of this bad science, and one that I have come across, thanks to a recent post to the NYT's Diner's Journal, is the blog, Science-ish. Don't you love that name? Blogger Julia Belluz has recently taken to task Gweneth Paltrow's new cook book, "It's All Good," about a severe elimination diet she put herself - and her children! - through. All this cleansing, detoxing stuff…seriously, your body knows how to cleanse itself, folks! It was, um, built to do so.
And this reminds me of the juicing craze. (Excuse me while I climb a little higher on my soapbox.) Do you really need a bazillion times the normal intake of vitamin [whatever] that you'll get from puréeing massive amounts of leafy vegetables? What do you think your body does with all that excess? Uh, it eliminates it. Your body can't use that overload, doesn't need it, doesn't want it. Plus, with juicing, you've ruined or strained out the fiber - and the deliciousness! - you would have gotten had you eaten the whole food. Remember that term - WHOLE food.
On the lighter side of questionable food topics, is the practice of throwing out food as soon as it slips past its sell-by or expiration date. We throw out shocking amounts of food, and even though I teased my late father mercilessly about keeping really old (often rank) food around, it is true that many foods are fine beyond those dates. Some of them are described in this NPR article.
(p.s. Now, I wonder how many incorrect facts I have put into this post?!)
Guest Chefs and Artisans at elements
Elements Chef Scott Anderson launches his summer "Chefs & Craftsmen" series on May 17, teaming up top cooks and artisans from coast to coast, right here in Princeton.
"My team and I wanted put together dinners that honor masters of their crafts—from chefs around the country that I have to utmost respect for, to fermentation experts, and even designers," explains Anderson. "There's a strong interplay between what each of us creates, and bringing all of these elements together is going to make for a whole that is greater than each individually."
The lineup for the first two dinners in the series includes:
Chef Matthias Merges & Cultured Pickle Shop – On Friday, May 17, Chef Matthias Merges of Yusho in Chicago will cook a seven-course meal with Chef Anderson, utilizing products from the Cultured Pickle Shop in Berkeley, CA created especially for the occasion. Pickling gurus Alex Hozven and Kevin Farley spent weeks working closely with the two chefs to develop ingredients that will be featured on the menu—which will be heavily inspired by Japanese culture and cuisine—including fermented myoga, koji, and squab fermented in sake lees. The event is $105 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity, with an optional $45 beverage pairing. The evening begins with hors d'oeuvres at 6:30pm, followed by a seated dinner at 7:00pm.
And on Monday, June 24, elements welcomes Chef Dominique Crenn & ceramics Designer John Shedd. Chef Crenn, of the two Michelin starred Atelier Crenn in San Francisco, CA, will work in conjunction with local New Jersey designer John Shedd to produce a memorable seven-course tasting event. Shedd, who regularly creates custom plates and bowls for elements, is designing a piece of service ware that will aesthetically complement one of Crenn's dishes that the evening, based upon her personal sketches. As a special treat, all guests will receive hand crafted artisan pottery to take home. The event is $120 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity, with an optional $45 beverage pairing. The evening begins with hors d'oeuvres at 6:00pm, followed by a seated dinner at 6:30pm.
Reservations are required for each event and can be made by calling 609.924.0078. For more information visit http://www.elementsprinceton.com/.
(And don't forget to look for the opening of Anderson's new restaurant, Mistral, on the corner of Witherspoon & Hulfish Streets, soon!)

4,856 fans were inside the VBC for Friday night's SPHL Finals game between the Huntsville Havoc and Pensacola Ice Flyers. As time goes on, the number of people who "say" they were there will likely be much higher.
April 12th's game is already going down as one of the most exciting, epic and unlikely in the nine year history of the franchise. Quite frankly, the Havoc would rather forget the first 50 minutes. But those last ten were special.
Coming off a 2-1 overtime loss in Pensacola (that wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates), it was a true "do or die" moment for the home team. Lose, and the Ice Flyers would celebrate inside the Von Braun Center, carrying around the President's Cup in front of thousands of disappointed Havoc fans. Win - and hope stays alive. A third and final game, winner take all, would be played Sunday in the Florida panhandle.
The Ice Flyers were confident going into the game, and with good reason - they'd outshot the Havoc by an unthinkable margin Tuesday. The team placed a call to the front office at the VBC, requesting ice be kept ready to chill their celebratory champagne. Four busloads of die hard fans made the trip up I-65 to see their boys win it all in person. No doubt, SPHL officials waiting in the wings had started applying polish to the President's Cup and practicing their speeches congratulating Pensacola coach Gary Graham.
The Ice Flyers dominated the game early, forcing countless turnovers, and rifling 27 shots at Havoc goalie Jesse Kallechy in the first two periods. The Havoc fought on, with Kallechy making tremendous saves, even getting help from Bill Baker, who stopped a sure thing rebound goal midway through the second as Kallechy found himself out of position.
The visitors took the led late in the second period when a Patrick Knowlton wrist shot sailed over Kallechy's shoulder, and lodged itself in his crossbar. Kallechy let out a sigh as he dislodged the puck with his paddle, watching an entire section of Ice Flyers fans celebrate in front of him.
"We really weren't happy with the first five periods of the series," said Havoc head coach Glenn Detulleo. "We really felt like we didn't play our game. But in that third period you could see we were slowly building momentum, the wave was going in our favor."
Forward Justin Fox agreed. "It's the pressure of playing in front of a big crowd," Fox told WAFF. "We were down, the Cup's on the line, facing elimination, we might have felt it a bit. Detulleo kept up positive and reaffirmed us 'we can do this.'"
The Havoc tightened things up in the third period, and shut down the Pensacola attack. Halfway through the third period, the Havoc finally answered the bell. A shot from Leland Fidler wove through traffic, and was deflected by Aaron McGill into the net. The Von Braun Center exploded into celebration, as Huntsville clearly had momentum on their side.
Time ticked away, and it looked like Huntsville would go to overtime yet again. But, what happened in the final 15 seconds is already becoming Havoc legend.
Justin Fox tells the story from his perspective, "Coach Detulleo switched things up and put me out with Stefan and McGill. We got the puck in deep, it seemed like they were just trying to hang on, the crowd was going crazy, they tried to rim it out, Gilly stopped it on the boards, I just tried to drive the net, he spotted me and I just put it home."
With 8.9 seconds left in the game, the Havoc faithful couldn't believe what they'd just seen. Pensacola goaltender Ross MacKinnon got a piece of Fox's shot - but it wasn't enough. As the puck trickled between his legs and slowly crossed the line, the arena erupted into the loudest cheers it's heard in three years.
"Biggest goal of my career," Fox told WAFF "especially in that moment with the crowd and the situation, it was a good feeling." Check out Fox's post game interview on facebook.
As the final eight seconds ran off the clock, tempers from the Pensacola Ice Flyers spilled over. Mitchell Good, Ron Cramer and Dan Buccella attacked several Havoc players from behind, causing a massive ruckus behind the Huntsville net. Corey Fulton, Sam Cannata and Mike Gurtler got involved and fought back. "That was probably some frustration on their end, giving up a goal late, they're seeing us celebrate, emotions go high." Detullo said. That kind of stuff just happens. One thing I know without team, we're not going to get pushed around, we're going to fight for each other, so it was great to see that."
Fox didn't mince any words when WAFF asked him what he saw. "A bit of a cheap hit by Cramer. We expected it with the line they threw out." Coach Detulleo was livid when he saw the final score sheet, giving Fulton extra penalties. He was petitioning SPHL officials that Fulton never dropped his gloves, and was essentially penalized for taking a beating. Suspensions from the incident are possible, even likely, but no announcement has been made at the time of this article.
Still, Detulleo knows he has to put that behind him, and focus on Sunday. The Havoc are one win away from the Cup.. but, so is Pensacola.
So what's the plan?
"Score one more goal than them."

With Brian Stann sidelined with an injury, UFC on Fox 4 has a new main event.
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will shift from UFC 149 in Calgary and fight at UFC on Fox 4 against Brandon Vera instead.
UFC officials announced the fight late Wednesday evening.
Rua was originally set to fight at the UFC 149 card against Thiago Silva, but his fellow Brazilian fell out due to his long running back problems, and was waiting for a new opponent.
Now Rua will move over to the main event slot at UFC on Fox 4 instead on Aug. 4 in Los Angeles.
Following a tumultuous three-fight streak where Brandon Vera lost two fights in a row and appeared to lose a third to Thiago Silva, he was given new life in the UFC after his last opponent was suspended due to a failed drug test and their bout was overturned to a no contest.
More MMA
Vera returned at UFC 137 and won a very controversial decision over former Ultimate Fighter competitor Eliot Marshall last October.
Now Vera gets the chance to face a former UFC champion in the biggest fight he's had in the last few years.
The new bout between Shogun and Vera will headline the UFC on Fox 4 card and serve as the five round main event for the upcoming show taking place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
As for Hector Lombard, there's been no word whether he will remain on the event or shift to a different card to make his UFC debut.
One other change to the UFC on Fox 4 card that was announced is Rani Yahya, who will step in to replace Pablo Garza, and will now face former featherweight contender Josh Grispi.
MMAWeekly.com will have more information on the UFC on Fox 4 card as it becomes available.

This is an awesome fight, but i still want to see Shogun vs. Silva
Vera is going to get slaughtered.
But damn. Imagine if he can beat Shogun. What a win that would be for him.
I agree with Mario if Vera can beat shogun it would be bigg. I'll have to go with Vera tho.. He need a big win
I have this feeling Vera will win. and i'm hoping he does because i really like Shogun but i'm getting sick of UFC trying to keep the same contenders. yes the both lost to Jones decisively. but i wanna see Brandon Vera succeed now.
Lombard needs to fight Silva in Brasil instead of Franklin, n Franklin should go back to his original card
This feels much more main event worthy to me than Lombard v Stann did. Sure Vera is no longer main event caliber, but Shogun is a big name and always puts on a great show. I understand Lombard v Stann is more significant to title contention, but Stann's last fight was a rebound as the co-main event on Fuel. I understand that he is marketable, but I don't see it pushing him to FOX headliner. And Lombard is unproven in the UFC. I understand he is on a streak, but Bellator's talent pool is shallow. I honestly felt Bader v Machida would have been the better headliner. I think they have a much better card ratings wise now that Shogun is at the top of the billing.
Give Lombard a midtier name as a tuneup fight on an upcoming show. Too bad they already gave away the Silva fight to Franklin because that would have been perfect.
Also puts these guys on a similar timeline to set up some interesting matchups between the winners.
Shogun v Machida III? Hell Yeah!
Shogun v Bader? Sounds Cool.
Vera v Machida? Alright.
Vera v Bader? meh…
None of these fights excite me, once upon a time they may have, but now Bader is the only guy I would be watching, as weird as that is to say.
I think Shogun is really glad he didn't have to fight Glover Texeira. Vera should be a decent replacement but I expect Shogun to get the win over Vera and set up a showdown with Machida again after both are coaches on TUF Brazil season 2.
Lombard vs boetsch now on the 149 card bisping injured
Brandon just might retire after the beating Shogun gives him. Too bad, he's a nice guy.
Fyi Shogun wanted a known fighter preferably a top 10 LH. At this point in his career especially considering hes lost 2 of his 3 fights. But no one wanted to fight Shogun on short notice only fighters not even in the top 20 because they have less to lose & more to gain. I'm a Vera fan no doubt I believe despite the height & reach difference they have similar styles both have excellent bjj but love using their muay thai with Shogun being more explosive. Vera I do believe will have better cardio. Anything can happen Shogun being ranked higher is suppose to smash Vera but I hope & expect a competitive fight!!
jon jones could probably beat both of these guys at the same time
I agree OMAHAK1LLA. And you can throw in Anderson Silva.
I think Anderson could beat Jon Jones alone. If he couldn't it would be a good fight. Also, Silva had nothing to do with this article.
This is a really dumb fight. Shogun whom is top notch against Vera who cant comepete witht he top notch. Any fight can go any way but with money my vote tottaly goes to shogun. This is a pathetic main event and a step down for Fox. Really shogun vs vera.. who really cares about that fight as a main event and to bring people to the sport… stupid choice. make more important fights on Main stream insted of joke fights. I never second guess the brass but making this a FOX event is a mistake. Silva VS sonnen will be a great pay per view but imagin something like that on FOX.
I care about this fight. Its a great match up and an important fight for both fighters.
Sorry Insane, but I couldn't disagree with you more. Just for the simple fact that shogun vs hendo was one of the greatest fights that I've seen. If vera vs shogun is half of the that fight, they will gain fans. Plus there is WAY too much pay per view $ to be made off of a fight like Silva VS Sonnen.
This would be an OK co-main… but it's a terrible main event. The UFC has an opportunity to catch huge ratings and really showcase itself to the world and they give us this?
This is horrible fight. Who wants to watch Vera or any fighter blatantly out matched and beat up? Inappropriate match-ups are not good.
Is Vera even in the top 10?
Hahahaha!!! What a pile of **** fight this is. Shogun is going to man handle Vera. That's that.
I honestly thought the main event all along was going to be Bader vs Machida….and it still isn't!?
Vera is higher ranked than Shogun. Vera's ranked #5 at heavyweight. I'd say Shogun is the underdog goung in. Shogun is a #4 light heavweight. Both washed up.
Vera is #5 at Hvy? Maybe in 1999– The guys dropped like 8 of his last 9 and Shoguns only loss I can recall was when Bones slaughtered him for the title. Other then that and the 1st fight w/ Machida which could have gone either way, the guys cherry.–Am I missing something here?
Sorry, I got him mixed up with Werdum.
no worries–Book, you know your stuff , most of your posts are spot on, thats why I was confused and thought I may have been missing something.
Wow for the first time ever UFC is making some extremly bad match making. I understand we don't know whats going on behindthe scenes with all the injurys and fighters having to drop out of fights but what are they thinking? Here's one…. Why would they pull Rich Franklin from the Cung Le fight to face silva? That was such a horrible idea. We have already seen that fight???? Franklin and Cung would of been an incredibly more interesting fight. Instead the put Cung against Patrick Cote?????? Are you f%$cking kidding me? Patrick Cote??? Glover would of been such a more interesting fight for Shogun then Vera. Even know i dont know to much about Glover i would have rather seen that as a main event after his last fight last week. that guy looked amazing. It actually hurts my interest throwing Vera in there. Just because a guy is not some big name dont think us UFC are stupid. Throwing in some washed up big name was a mistake. Fans would have been more interested in seeing this Glover guy who they dont know or had seen fight last week then Vera.
Sorry for all the typos. Im at work and should probably not be posting.I meant "do not think us, ufc fans are stupid"
Thought Machida vs Bader was a for sure thing. Shogun will still be nice to watch, but really hoped for Machida.
Wow i must of missed something. The Bader Machida fight isn't happening or just not on the Fox 4 card?
I honestly believe there needs to be a shake up of some sort in the UFC organization, because decisions like THIS one are going to eventually do irreparable damage to it.
The decisions being made by Dana White & his ( apparently ) matchmaker for life, Joe Silva are going to absolutely destroy the FOX TV deal. I mean, Shogun vs Brandon Vera as a network television main event? REALLY?!!
Are they TRYING to sabotage themselves?
After the May 5 card tanked in the ratings they're going to come back with THIS rubbish August 4? And they expect the ratings to improve? It's madness!
After years of going off, railing against all the top boxing promoters about how their greed was destroying that sport, now here's Dana doing the same EXACT thing. Using his network spot to showcase dodgy fights that not even the hardcore MMA fan cares much about, while saving the best contests for the PPV shows that they attempt to get the fans to pay $50 – $60 for every three weeks or so.
At this rate, with the over saturation of product that the UFC is providing right now, they're going to not only shoot themselves in the foot, but the entire sport as well.
FOX is in the ratings business & if this next show tanks too ( which, it likely will IMO ) then Dana & the boys are going to be on a VERY short leash, with maybe just one more show in the fall to prove that they can get viewers. If not, they're going to be done.
While Dana likes to go on about their's being a seven year deal with the network, in reality FOX can pull the plug at any time.
They'd likely still have their FX & FuelTV deals in place, but as far as The UFC being a big league mainstream sport worthy of a major broadcast network showcase, they'd be D-O-N-E.
Agreed, I think they ok'd this fight cuz both guys are stand up fighters which has the potential for a KO finish. The day you see a lay and prey fighter headlining they are gonna blow the Fox deal–so keep Fitch away and im not sure you want a GSP main event either. The whole problem with this fight is Vera is way overmatched and no ones gonna get wet for this. Watch the betting lines, im guessing Shogun -800. I just dont get this choice of match up for a main event on Fox.
While this fight was surprising to me, I don't think it's too bad. Yes, more UFC events mean weaker cards. Every PPV used to have a title fight. I wouldn't expect the UFC on Fox events to feature many title fights. If this is a stand up war then it will draw new viewers to the sport.
Agree with others here that this is not going to boost the Fox viewing numbers at all.
If Shogun shows up 100 percent, he should win this one in the first. How will Shogun show up though?
I just got some insider info boys–Fox 5 will feature a double main event card: Alister Overeem vs Christian Morcraft and Anderson Silva vs Mayhem Miller–They have titled it " NIGHT OF THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB"–I dont know about you guys but I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!
You have the title right on Anthony. lol
Honestly, I had no idea Vera was still with the UFC. Also, why not have Machida/Bader headline? That's who I assumed was headlining when their match up was put together.
This fight as a main event is pretty crappy.
i was thinking Alexander Gustafsson and shogun is he hurt or something it made so much sence
Alexander Gustafsson vs shogun wouldve been awesome he must be hurt or something
Really, why is Vera still in the UFC? Shogun will finish him. no more questionable wins or losses, straight knock out. that is my 2 cents … ty err1
Props to Vera for accepting this fight…especially after Thiago Silva knocked his nose basically off his face. This could turn into a pretty big beatdown

The wine was barrel fermented in 75% French Burgundian oak barrels and 25% stainless steel barrels and aged on the lees for just less than 11 months. This is a Chardonnay with attractive honeyed tropicial fruit and toasty oak. These flavors are beautifully balanced with copious amounts of tangy tart apple and lemon giving the wine a refreshing yet lengthy finish.
This is the maiden release of a Rosé wine from Whitehall Lane Winery, and this pink wine was not made by accident. Named "Cub Red" by our club members, this summer sipper is a refreshing, subtler version of our red blend, Tre Leoni. Made by bleeding off some of the wonderful sweet Syrah juice after the grapes cold soaked and macerated on the skins for one day. This rosé wine displays subtle flavors of strawberry, cherry and raspberry with a dash of citrus zest. Enjoy chilled on a warm summer day.
BLEND: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot,4% Malbec
This wine is a blend of the winery's Fawn Park Vineyard and Leonardini Vineyard fruit. The small amounts of Malbec and Petit Verdot add color, depth and complexity to this classic offering. The wine was aged in 80% French and 20% American oak barrels for 24 months.
Read our Blog
The majority of the grapes for this proprietary blend were grown in the winery's six Napa Valley vineyards. The wine was aged in two-thirds French and one-third American oak barrels for 20 months. No single grape varietal makes up half of this wine but the three grapes making up the lion's share of the blend include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.
Enjoy this ferociously fun red blend with your next carnivorous meal or when gathering with family and friends.

View Product Details »
BLEND: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
The Millennium MM Cabernet is made from grapes grown less than one-half mile from the winery, on the northern edge of the Rutherford AVA. This vineyard produces grapes that have been used in some of Napa Valley's storied wines for the past half-century. This 2010 wine was made from hand-selected grapes in two small vineyard blocks. This classic Cabernet Sauvignon is lavish and opulent with flavors of earthy black fruit and sweet red fruit. The wine shows enough elegance to enjoy today but will benefit from cellar aging through 2025.
BLEND: 100% Merlot
This is the first Leonardini Vineyard Merlot since the famed 1997 vintage. For the last 12 years, the Merlot fruit from this small block was designated for different Whitehall Lane blends. This truly is a Merlot for Cabernet lovers. This inky, dark wine has deep, rich aromas and flavors of black cherry, plum and incense. This classic Merlot will continue to evolve through 2020 with proper cellaring.
The Leonardini Vineyard is located on the western side of the valley floor, at the southern edge of the town of St. Helena. This gravelly 14 acre vineyard has been recognized as the finest representation of Cabernet Sauvignon for the entire St. Helena Appellation. After being hand sorted and gently pressed out, the wine was aged in 100% French oak for 25 months. The rich, complex fruit of the Leonardini Vineyard shines through in this 2006 vintage offering. While delicious now, this is a wine that will reward patient aging as the fruit continues to develop from within and the tannins melt away.
This marks the first Zinfandel from Whitehall Lane since 1995 and the first ever from Dry Creek Valley. We harvested a little less than four tons of exceptional fruit from old Zinfandel vines grown in a small vineyard in Dry Creek Valley.
This Zin is bursting with ripe, juicy flavors of sweet raspberry jam and sour cherry. There are pleasing tones of cinnamon, pepper and vanilla that balance nicely and give way to a long finish.

WHITE SULPLHUR SPRINGS (WVVA) – Youth golfers from the Mountain State were given the chance to learn from the pros Tuesday during the First Tee Foundation Luncheon at the Greenbrier.
James Monroe senior Ike Judy has spent a lot of time playing golf in his life. The Maverick has also gotten involved in the state's junior tournaments and gained a lot of credibility. On Tuesday, the First Tee offered him the chance to step up to the next level and play with a pro.
"It's really a great opportunity to kind of spread the word and everything," Judy said. "Playing with a professional, it's something I've never done."
Judy is looking to follow the footsteps of Jordan Spieth a 19-year-old amateur making waves in the PGA over the last few weeks.
"One of the great stories recently is Keegan Bradley coming out and nobody knows who he was and he came out and just started winning," Spieth said. "All it takes is some confidence. So, hopefully, we instilled that on those kids."
The thing about success in golf is the same in any sport you play -- if you put in the time and effort, you'll succeed. And that's exactly what the James Monroe senior and the PGA amateur are both trying to do.

Cricket Betting
Up To £30 Free Matched Bet
Somerset chief executive Guy Lavender says the county will begin interviewing candidates for their vacant director of cricket role in "the next three or four weeks".
Brian Rose stood down from the position at the end of the domestic summer and the search has been on to find his replacement.
Justin Langer is one name being mentioned, with the former Australia Test batsman having spent a highly-successful period at Taunton from 2006 to 2009.
The 41-year-old is currently employed as Australia's assistant coach but did visit his former county during the recent summer.
"We have had a number of applicants from all over the world and we are in the process of reviewing those, which will lead to some formal interviews," Lavender told the Western Daily Press.
"Those will take place in the next three to four weeks, after which we will be able to take a decision that is best for the club. But we have not made a decision at this stage."
Somerset have finished runners-up in the Friends Life t20 for the past three seasons, while they are yet to win the County Championship title in their history.

Brandeis is an easy place to keep Kosher and has lots of options. Sherman Dining Hall houses an all-you- can-eat Kosher buffet for three meals a day. In addition, packaged and prepared kosher food items are available in the eateries and C-Store in Usdan and Einstein's bagles in Shapiro Campus Center. There is also a kosher vending machine in the Shapiro lounge in Massell Quad.
Getting on a Kosher Meal Plan is easy. If you are already on a meal plan, there is no additional cost. Students electing to eat Kosher must sign a Kosher contract with Dining Services in Sherman Dining Hall. Students will then be given a sticker for their ID card. Students who elect to eat kosher must eat on the kosher line while in Sherman Dining Hall but are welcome to eat in any other dining location. Students on a meal plan can sign up for Shabbat dinner here.
Sherman Dining Hall
Sherman Dining Hall is located between the Shapiro Campus Center and Massell Quad. It is an all-you-can-eat cafeteria that serves both Kosher and non-Kosher food. The Kosher kitchen is supervised closely by Rabbi Chayim Zirkind and Rabbi David Twersky, along with the Dining Services team who ensure that meat and dairy items are never prepared, cooked or eaten together at the same meal. Meat and dairy products are prepared in separate, dedicated kitchens, utilizing two completely separate sets of utensils, dishes, stoves, dishwashers, and all other cookware. "Pareve", or neutral items such as eggs, fruits, vegetables and fish may be served with both meat and dairy meals.
To ensure that meat and dairy are never mixed, the Sherman staff have designated that for lunches and dinners, Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are meat days and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays are dairy days. Breakfast is always a dairy meal.
The Kosher side of Sherman has rules to make sure that all the food is kept Kosher; however, students sit wherever they wish in the cafeteria. Students use trays, and whenever they eat from the Kosher side they make sure that everything stays on it. They do not put anything from the non-Kosher side on a Kosher tray or on Kosher dishes. On Shabbat, trays are not available, and all of the plateware and silverware are disposable.

"Neither governments nor corporations are moral. Morality is distinctly a human quality. I think when Romney talked about corporations being people, he meant "made up of people," not actual human beings." Anything made up of humans possesses morality. That is why Nazi Germany was immoral and the US was Moral. I believe that CS Lewis contrast was with animals not groups of people but I have only read Mere Christianity once. Chik Fil A was acting morally when it gave money to support the family, not necessarily in its own best interest. It is an interesting phenomenon that acting morally is always in your best interest. God made it that way.

While we want our Twitter users to see the value in LockerPulse and hopefully sign up and give it a try, we also want them to be able to continue to receive the news solely via Twitter in the most efficient manner if they so choose.

Rocky Mountain Power is asking its customers for a little help judging its 2013 Act Wattsmart video contest.
The contest, in its second year, is designed to increase public awareness of the programs the utility offers that can lead to lower monthly power bills through wiser energy use.
"We received 67 video entries for our 2013 contest, which was more than double the number of entries we had in 2011," said spokesman Jeff Hymas.
He added that a panel of judges will choose one "Best Video" grand prize winner, to receive up to $10,000 in energy-efficiency merchandise, and two "Best Video" runners-up, who will each receive up to $2,500 in merchandise available at Lowe's home improvement stores.
There also will be a "People's Choice" winner, who will be selected by Rocky Mountain's customers. To participate, view the videos at www.wattsmart.com and cast your vote for a favorite. One vote is permitted each day through June 30. The "People's Choice" winner will receive up to $2,000 in merchandise at Lowe's.
In addition, the names of each voter will be entered in a random drawing to receive a"Voter's Award" of up to $500 in merchandise.
The 2011 contest was won by Jessica and Marty Patch of Salt Lake City.
Their video, "Our Energy Story," described how, in refurbishing an older home, they were able to reduce monthly power bills by 20 percent by taking a number of steps. The actions included adding insulation to their attic, installing skylights, purchasing a 98 percent efficiency heating and cooling system, and placing florescent bulbs in all fixtures.
"We're very pleased with the overall quality of the videos submitted in this year's contest and impressed by the fun, smart and unique ways Utahns chose to share their ideas about how to be energy efficient," Hymas said.
Contest winners are expected to be announced in early August.

Sunderland 0-1 Arsenal: True Grit
At halftime I felt like a script was about to be written which I had no desire to see played out. Essentially, it would be a variation on the same narrative that had been performed by previous Arsenal teams of several seasons past. The story would be similar to the one of Kevin Phillips' 92nd minute equaliser away at Birmingham in 2010, and the eight goal calamity of St James Park in 2011. You can probably add a few of your own.
I turned to to Scottish Dave, who co-presents our podcast, and said: "You know how this plays out, right?"
"Shut up ye fanny. Get yer heid oot ae the doom trough," he replied, not unreasonably, while sipping the tea which I'd generously made him because I may be a depressive but I'm also a magnanimous host.
"Either one of our lot gets injured, probably one of the better players, or we get someone daftly sent off. It's always like that when we dominate but don't score enough away from home."
I did as commanded, without adding that the equaliser would undoubtedly be scored by a lumpy sort of player with his own story to spin. I already had one eye on Danny Graham, lurking unloved on the bench. What was going to make this inevitability particularly painful was that Arsenal really had been brilliant in the first half, with Cazorla applying the finish to a particularly Arsenalish team goal. It had been a world apart from the slow starts that had come to characterise January, and but for some profligate finishing and another goalkeeping masterclass by Mignolet, we ought to have been well out of sight.
In the end, both verbalised misfortunes came to pass. First Wilshere was fouled out of the game, the inevitable victim of a Sunderland team which had been comprehensively outplayed and so was sent out after the break to leave their feet in, and, if we're being honest, our own manager's refusal to rest a player who it's easy to forget is still on the comeback from a long layoff.
Next it was Jenkinson's turn, here cast in the role of naive departee who's done something absurdly daft, which you may remember being played by messrs Koscielny, Gervinho and Diaby in previous cock ups. But then something strange happened. Although Arsenal undoubtedly went into their shells after losing Jack, much as they have in the past when Cesc has limped from the field, the team did not wilt entirely.
Sagna, redeployed at centre back alongside the relatively calming presence of Big Per, led a rearguard action that also saw Ramsey filling in at right back. Loins were girded. Backs were placed against walls. Balls were headed the fuck out. Not that it helped the lake of acid pooling in my stomach. There can be few more stressful sights in sport than watching your undermanned team try to see out a one-nil win. It's the hope etc.
Plus, there's something especially painful about watching post-Highbury Arsenal teams try to defend a narrow lead. But in the end the deathblow was never applied. Indeed we might have scored again, but for some ludicrous finishing by Giroud, who opted to shoot from outside the box despite being in a 3-on-2 overload, and then Santi, who was probably right to shoot, if not for the fact the shot was off target like an ICBM built in a garage by a particularly unscientifically-minded child.
With a couple of minutes to go until the end of normal time, and pressure mounting to Fukushima levels, Dave and I decided to do something we never normally do. (No, not that.) We decided to take the dog outside for a piss, rather than watch the last agonal moments play out, reasoning that if Sunderland were to score, as the string of corners suggested they were likely to, it'd be better not to see it, hear their fans, or watch the exact moment Arsene's face changed from grumpy to distraught.
Oddly, the dog was unusually efficient, and we were back in front of the computer before the clock had hit 90 minutes. Nonetheless, despite a couple of scares, the team held out and it was easy to see from the reaction of Sagna and Szczęsny (who had also been excellent) just what gutting out a result like this meant to the team.
Thankfully, they'll now have a full week to recover before facing Blackburn in the FA Cup. Even if Vermaelen, Wilshere and Koscielny return from injury in that time, I'd expect a few changes with the first leg against Bayern looming.
They've come at cost, but six points taken against the shitkickers of Stoke and Sunderland is worth celebrating. I also think it'd be overstating it to say that because we held on today, this team is somehow built of sterner stuff than previous sides who've capitulated. For starters the sample size – one game – is clearly too small, and moreover games like these swing on such tiny moments that you'd be unwise to read too much into the final result. Certainly we rode our luck at times. Nonetheless, given the league situation and Spurs form, it's an absolutely vital win that the players can feel rightly proud of.
Jenkinson has hopefully also learned a valuable lesson about how to play once you're on a yellow, and without having seen his team punished in the process. Not that we can have any complaint about the sending off, other than the fact the referee, having rightly booked Catermole early, then seemed content to let them get on with rotational fouling and cynical tugs.
Though I generally don't like to complain about refs, it's perhaps more convincing to do so after a win. Wenger is spot on when he says:
"The referee let two or three things go that I thought were fouls on Jack. I want just the referee to give a foul when it's a foul. I don't want any special protection. The referee is not a bodyguard, he is just a referee and you want him just to give a foul when it's a foul."
Note: not asking for Wilshere to be treated differently, just for fouls that are fouls to be called. I read a great piece last week on 7amkickoff that touched on how largely useless the advantage rule is. Over the course of the season I'd be staggered if advantages actually transpired into advantageous situations (by which I mean a goal-threatening position) any more than about 1% of the time. I'd almost always rather have a free kick and the fouler spoken to or booked.
No doubt that's just me being an effete Arsenal fan, and in a few years time pundits and England fans will talk about how it's a shame Wilshere is a bit injury prone, rather than note that he's been kicked, cynically, on a constant basis by opponents with little protection because of some doublethink like "well, his movement is too good, so he ends up getting hit all the time". For now, though, this Arsenal team changed the script, and that's good enough for me.

Not all abortion clinics are alike. Since many people do not talk openly about abortion, it is difficult to know what to expect. The levels of quality vary widely among providers, from the minimum required to operate a facility to clinics who go above and beyond to provide good service. Choosing an abortion clinic is much like choosing any other health care service provider. Unfortunately, sometimes there are not many abortion clinics to choose from, since few doctors provide these services. Base your choice not on a nice ad, location, or fee, but on the level of quality of their services as a whole. Here are some guidelines to follow when choosing an abortion provider:
Just because the ad is big or looks nice, it does not mean that it is a good facility. Furthermore, the ad may not be completely truthful. Before you call, do further investigating. Many times clinics advertise that they are located in a specific town, but when you call they may say "we're near there" or "we're not open there yet" - be careful... you may be in for a longer trip than you first thought. You may find they are actually in another state. If they are not truthful in their yellow page ad it is a red flag - find out more about this clinic. Further, if you find that a clinic is giving out false information, call the phone directory and the better business bureau to complain.
Get a referral from someone you trust.
If there is a friend or family member you feel comfortable asking, talk to that person. You can also anonymously call a local hospital or physician's office that you trust and ask them who they refer to for abortion services. Call national organizations, such as the National Abortion Federation or the National Coalition of Abortion Providers, whose members have to abide by high standards of high medical and counseling care.
Call the clinic on the phone.
How do they sound? Are they friendly? Do they listen? Do they answer all of your questions? Ask if you can set up an appointment to see their clinic before actually making an appointment. Is the clinic actually located where the ad in the phone book says it is?
Ask about their services.
What do they offer? Is your support person allowed to participate in any part of the process? How many visits are required? What is the procedure like? What types of anesthesia are offered and what are the risks? Who administers the anesthesia and what are his/her qualifications? Do they offer routine services as well? What type of medical protocols do they follow? What do they do in case of an emergency? Do they provide free options counseling?
Ask about their fees.
Do the fees sound "too good to be true?" If they do, they probably are. Some clinics tell you a lower fee when you first call but you end up paying more for services that were not included. Find out which charges are included in the fee. Is a follow-up exam included (this is a necessary exam that, if not included, may cost an extra $50 - $100)? Are all medications included? Is an ultrasound included? Is the price of anesthesia included? Is a method of birth control included? Is counseling included? Do they participate in insurance plans? Do they give reduced fees if you are a student or if you have medical assistance? Do they provide funding or will they assist you in funding if you cannot come up with the whole fee? If you cannot come up with the fee, will they turn you away? Are there payment plans?
Ask about the qualifications of their staff.
Both OB/GYNs and non-OB/GYNs perform abortions. Things to ask include: How many procedures has he/she performed? Where was he or she trained, and who was she trained by? What degrees does he/she have? What is his/her specialty? Does he/she have any hospital admitting privileges anywhere? Has the physician lost his or her license in any other states? Although you may not be able to get the name of the physician because of confidentiality issues, you can ask about how the physician was trained and what his or her credentials are.
What about the staff? Do they have Registered Nurses on staff? What about the counselors? Who provides counseling and what is their training? Will the counselor talk to you about your decision at no charge if you are unsure? Are there counselors available to accompany you in the procedure if you request it? Do the counselors provide post-abortion counseling if you need it?
Take a look at the clinic and the staff.
Most clinics are busy, because there are not many providers. Is the clinic clean? What type of instruments do they use and how do they clean them? What is the atmosphere like? Is it cold and sterile or warm and friendly? What do you prefer? How is the staff? Do they dress professionally and appropriately? Do they act professionally and appropriately? Do they treat you as an individual and with respect and understanding? Can your partner talk with someone privately if he or she wants to? Are the procedure rooms clean and private? Do they have pamphlets on decision-making, birth control methods, and descriptions of the procedure including risks? Do they provide referrals for adoption and pre-natal care? Are their explanations thorough?
We know it can be difficult to trust a medical provider that you have never seen before and we hope these suggestions help. You really won't know exactly how your experience will be until you go through with it, but you do have some control over it. Be sure to give the staff feedback - both positive and negative - that will help them serve women better.

The intramural flag football playoffs are in full swing and teams are battling it out to determine who is the university's best. This is truly the test that separates true champions from just plain losers. I myself have partaken in a few intramural activities, but unfortunately have thus far fallen into only the latter category. Because of the magnitude of this occasion, I have decided to temporarily set my bitterness aside and provide an analysis. Not of the teams (c'mon, you really think I have that much time?), but of the players. In my experiences in the league the last two years, I have determined that almost every player falls into one of a few distinct categories:
The Wannabe: Has he mentioned yet that he played football in high school? Well, he didn't actually play, but he was on the roster, even if he was just listed as a manager. I mean, he still traveled with the team, so that counts for something, right? He may be a senior, but he's still got a hold on his high school coach's playbook and is insistent on running a play action offense. Who cares if it didn't work? Stick to the game plan! No, he's not the only one on the field with wide receiver's gloves on, but he is the only one with gloves, full body Under Armor, a towel in his waistband and a playbook on his wrist. Value to the team: -12 pts.
The Frat Guy: Yeah, they're usually in the fraternity league, but believe it or not, occasionally this sickness spreads to the other leagues as well. You know the guy I'm talking about: he's the only one on the field who put gel in his hair after putting on his headband. Yeah, it might only be 45 degrees outside, but you really think he's going to wear a shirt with sleeves and hide those guns? You've got to be kidding me. Sure, he's got an athletic build, but apparently the hours in the gym and questionable substance intake didn't actually contribute to performance on the field. Value to the team: -6 pts.
The Good Guy: "Nice play," he says as the defender knocks the ball down, simultaneously kneeing the receiver in the groin and elbowing him in the temple on purpose. "Good defense." You really can't get in this guy's head! The sportsmanship is appreciated, but show a little fire once in a while! You would think that a dislocated shoulder would knock the smile off his face! Nice try… but you'll have to do better then that. Value to the team: +12 pts. (and good sportsmanship ratings)
The Natural: Seen that one "Hardy" guy on the football team? Yeah, well, apparently he has a white twin brother. This guy's 6'6'', runs a 4.2 forty, a 36'' vertical, and better hands than T.O. It really doesn't matter who's guarding him; it's like playing a game of jackpot with a group of Oompa Loompas and Dikembe Mutombo. Who do you think is going to win? Just hope you don't have to play against him: quadruple teaming doesn't work, and if it does, the fat guy will run for 130 against you. Value to the team: +24 pts.
The Schmoes: Who knew that flag football was taken this seriously? People honestly have playbooks? I thought this league was for students, not Arena Football stars… I really have to guard that guy? What's flag-guarding? Man, maybe I shouldn't have signed up in League I… Value to the team: +0 (Hope for a forfeit)

Congressman Henry Cuellar's statement Re: Fiscal Cliff
"This compromise and the accompanying vote were long overdue. It was imperative that Congress got together to support the bipartisan, Senate-passed legislation to avoid going over the �fiscal cliff�. In order to stop $500 billion in automatic tax increases on 99 percent of American households, prevent massive cuts, and halt interruptions in critical services, both sides had to make concessions. While this is not the bill I would have drafted and no one is likely to be happy with every provision, I understand that immediate action with the most consensus was required for the sake of strengthening the U.S. economy and protecting our fellow Americans.
It is important to note that the inability of Congress to work in a bipartisan way over the past few years to take on our toughest issues created this crisis. Unfortunately, if we fail to learn the lessons of this narrowly-averted crisis, the Congress may end right back up in a similar spot in the near future. Each member of Congress has a responsibility to work together to craft common sense solutions to the nation's challenges. We were sent here to roll up our sleeves, get to work, and build consensus on the tough issues. I hope the new Congress does a better job at that."
