"Any public or private statement of interest, qualified or unqualified, in another club's player to that player's agent or representative, or to a member of the news media, is a violation of this Anti-Tampering Policy. (Example of a prohibited comment: "He's an excellent player, and we'd very much like to have him if he were available, but another club holds his rights.")"
The Chiefs last year won a tampering claim against the Detroit Lions involving former safety Jarrad Page. They swapped draft picks with the Lions in the fifth round of last year's draft, allowing them to move up 14 spots.
I want to share with you the words from Kansas City Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel. He was asked about Kansas City's potential interest in the expected free agent QB. And while KC general manager Scott Pioli was coy in commenting about Manning or KC interest in Manning, Crennel was more forthright.
"With a talent like that, I would be crazy not to consider it if he's available. I'll leave it at that," Crennel said.
Asked yesterday how much it would mean to go in the first round, Kuechly, addressing the media at the NFL combine, didn't contain his excitement.
"I think it would be great. Growing up, it's one of those things, I've been watching the draft, I don't know how long," Kuechly said. "You want to get your name called on that first day, you want to be on that first-day list, when (the NFL commissioner) says, 'so-and-so selects, Luke Kuechly, linebacker, Boston College.' That's your goal playing in college football. Getting to that level, and hearing your name on the first day."
"He can still run and things like that. We'll manage him by letting him do all of the individual drills, drops and things like that, but no diving for the ball or those things."

"You wanna know why people come from Massively to piss all over a WoW.com post? The Reply button on massively sends us here."
That's definitely not good.
"They leave NO way to comment about such things on Massively, so we have no outlet but to come here."
Sure you do. Send an email to Massively? You also have the option to NOT READ AND NOT RESPOND TO THAT CONTENT. (Apologies to all for the shout.) I love RP and used to read the RP articles here. I'd tear my hair out resisting the urge to respond. "How to RP as the owner of a butter knife". So, um, I stopped reading those posts. My blood pressure dropped and all was good. Don't get me started on how to hot glue rhinestones to soap to make an attractive and tasty edible Horde emblem that doubles as a refrigerator magnet.
"Massively used to be relatively WoW free for those of us that play other titles."
So you got low yield broad info on other games, most of which you're also not playing? What's changed?
I've always found the idea of Massively odd. Who gives a flying [bleep] about games you are not currently playing unless you jump to each one that hits open beta or work in the industry. Read a site about the game you are currently playing, keep an eye on what's coming [re: Massively] . If there isn't a site, make it. Massively doesn't even have solid coverage of the existing market anyway.
"THAT is why we are here, THAT is why we are angry about it."
See above: contact Massively. Or, better, the parent company.

The Udny Community Wind Turbine: a community energy case study
The Udny Community Wind Turbine is the first wholly community-owned, built, financed and operated wind turbine on the Scottish mainland. Made up of two villages in Aberdeenshire – Udny Green and Pitmedden – the community has a population of 2,500 and householders gave their backing for the turbine in a ballot held in 2008 following an extensive consultation programme.
The site chosen at Tillymaud Farm has a good wind resource with project engineers Green Cat Renewables estimating the average wind speed at hub height to be 7.6m/s.
The Enercon 800kW turbine installed is expected to produce at least 2.05GWh per year and the £1.45m project is forecast to move into profit in its second year of operation and eventually generate income of upwards of £100,000 a year. Profits will be ploughed into local initiatives decided on by the local community. Investing in sports facilities and helping local school-leavers prepare for work are among the causes set to benefit.
The Udny Community Wind Turbine company, one of the first of its kind in the country to benefit from the Feed-in Tariffs, looked at a number of options for selling their electricity before signing a power purchase agreement with SmartestEnergy.
"We first met the company at a Community Energy Scotland event and were impressed with the people we were dealing with and also the clarity of the information on both pricing structure and the terms and conditions," said Garth Entwistle, chairman of the Udny company.
"The fact that SmartestEnergy both provided a personal level of service and had the backing of a major global company in the Marubeni Corporation was also attractive and gave us added comfort."
Project : Udny Community Wind Turbine Co. Ltd
Location: Aberdeenshire
Technology: Wind
Commissioned: Summer 2011
Installed capacity: 800kW
For more information see the presentation at http://www.communityenergyscotland.org.uk/userfiles/file/Community%20Energy%20Conference%202010/Udny%20Community%20Wind%20Project.pdf
Udny Project wins Green Energy Award (Dec 2011)
Residents of a rural Scottish community are celebrating after winning a major award for their pioneering renewable energy project. The Udny Community Wind Turbine was named as best Community Initiative at the 2011 Scottish Green Energy Awards in Edinburgh.
The 800kW turbine in Aberdeenshire - the first wholly community-owned, built, financed and operated project of its kind on the Scottish mainland - began exporting electricity to the grid earlier this year through a power purchase agreement with SmartestEnergy.
The £1.45m project is forecast to move into profit in its second year of operation and eventually generate income of upwards of £100,000 a year with profits ploughed into local initiatives decided on by the local community. Iain Robertson, SmartestEnergy's Scottish-based Deputy Head of Generation Sales who has worked closely with the Udny team, said:
"The Udny project is a fantastic example of local people working together to deliver significant long term benefits for their community and it was fantastic to see their achievements recognised at these flagship awards."

Under Water is a 5 reel (non-progressive), 20-payline, Skill-on-net Video Slot. It comes with a wildSymbol, scatter symbol, free spin and has a maximum jackpot win of $10,000.
The Under Water Diving Slot is one of the most literal 5 reel video slots out there. Presented by SkillOnNet, it immerses(pardon the pun) the user in an underwater themed slot which includes free spins (won with scatters) and an 'air bonus' themed round. The top payout is also breathtaking as it pays out a maximum $/£/€10,000 jackpot.
Many SkillOnNet slots include a bespoke theme but rarely do they use this level of detail to theme a slot. The background is the most impressive design feature as it contains moving sea life which flows behind the reels and besides the slots casing. Each spin also produces bubbles from each reel and the reel icons flash to signal a winning payout.
The reel icons include snorkels, air tanks, star fish, shells, fish, flippers, seahorse and boats. These are fairly simple icons which fit in well with the overall theme.
Calming music plays continuously and can become a little irritating after a while. Thankfully a mute button has been placed in the bottom left side of the screen - a simple yet essential addition if you loath sound effects.
Another positive aspect is the huge betting range which really is inclusive off all gamblers. It ranges from 0.10 to $/£/€20 per spin which is ideal for low, mid and mid to high players.
The Fish wild symbol acts as a substitute for other symbols wherever a winning combination is possible. Multiple wilds can often pop up on the reels but only work if they land on an active payline.
There's also plenty of opportunities to win free spins because they are triggered by a minimum of two scatter symbols. Two boat scatters pays 2 free spins, three pays 5 free spins, four pays 10 free spins and 5 pays 20 free spins. All of the free spins are eligible for a 2x multiplier if a win spins in on an active payline.
The air tank graphic at the top counts up the bonus points collected during normal spins. You receive 100 points for every bonus symbol and the bonus round is awarded once 1000 points have been collected.
There are three stages to the bonus round with three treasure chests to choose from during each stage. The first round is no lose but the second and third can result in total loss of bonus money if you choose incorrectly. You will have the choice to gamble or collect your winnings after each successful round though, so the choice is yours to make.
SkillOnNet slots have a certain charm about them which competitors find hard to match. Underwater Diving is another slot which fits this mold, we loved the features and gameplay despite it being a little cheesy.
This game's music is a little Juvenile and the game needs to be up-graded.

Sales are up and prices are stabilizing. Good sign for home buyers, and, even sellers. Buying a home should be based on a few factors...
First, buy on the principle of paying yourself first. You have to live somewhere, so why not spend the money on yourself and not a landlord.
Secondly, try to find a location you really can live with... if this means going smaller, then do it. Chances are someone else will really want that location down the line when you sell. Being a pioneer in a new neighborhood just to get more space is not for everyone.
And third, the tax benefits and social value. A home lowers your tax exposure, ultimately lowering the cost of ownership... that's tangible. And ownership FEELS different. It really changes the way you live and decisions you make. It's great for the neighborhood and your growth as a person.
So don't base ownership on national media reports about the housing market. Just take a good look at your position in life and you'll decide that ownership may be the next positive step.
However, good national news is helpful!
New home sales soar March gain of 13.8% the biggest in 13 years, showing surprising strength in housing market, but that was partly driven by builders cutting prices.
By Chris Isidore, CNNMoney.com senior writer
April 26, 2006: 2:06 PM EDT
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - New home sales posted the biggest jump in 13 years in March, but sales got a boost as builders cut prices to cope with higher mortgage rates and a growing backlog of houses on the market.
The government reported new homes sold at an annual rate of 1.21 million homes in March, up 13.8 percent from a revised 1.07 million pace in February. That easily topped forecasts for a 1.1 million pace from economists surveyed by Briefing.com.
The jump, the biggest since a 16 percent rise in April 1993, came even as mortgage rates hit an average 6.32 percent last month for 30-year fixed-rate loans, according to Freddie Mac, up from 6.25 percent in February.
The mortgage rate was the second-highest for any month since 2002. Rates have risen further since, climbing to 6.53 percent in the most recent weekly survey.
With rising mortgage rates driving up the cost of financing home purchases, most economists have been looking for the real estate market to cool off in 2006 after several years of record sales.
But economist Bob Brusca said last month's drop in new home prices is a sign that the market for new homes isn't nearly as strong as the jump in sales would suggest.
He noted that the report showed an unusual drop in prices from both February and a year earlier, which could be a sign that home builders are cutting prices to move a large supply of new homes now on the market.
"New homes sales sprang back to life like a zombie in a cheap horror flick," Brusca said. "And like that zombie, housing really is dead. Don't let all that twitching fool you."
He said that many of the new homes sold in March were probably built in a stronger real estate market.
And unlike existing homes, where sellers can live until they get an acceptable price, "builders can't live in these houses unless they have a lot of family," he said. "By and large they must finance them at rising interest costs."
In fact, about one builder in five has reported a jump in cancellations of new home orders, according to a recent industry survey. And Wednesday's report showed that there were 553,000 new homes for sale in March, up 25 percent from a year earlier.
Meanwhile, average prices fell 7.1 percent from February to $279,100, after topping $300,000 for the first time in the February revised figures. The median price, which reflects the point at which half the homes sell for more and half sell for less, also fell 6.5 percent to $224,200.
And while month-to-month declines in home prices are not unusual, more significantly, prices also fell from a year earlier: a 2.2 percent decline in median prices and a 3.6 percent fall in average prices over that time.
Still, Wednesday's big jump in sales came after existing home sales also showed an unexpected increase last month in a report from the National Association of Realtors Tuesday.
New home sales, while a fraction of the overall real estate market, are more closely watched since they're more of a leading indicator of conditions in the housing market.
Existing home sales are recorded at closing, typically a month or two after a purchase agreement, while new home sales are tracked based on when contracts are signed.

City living in the face of gas hikes
You will never hear me complain about the cost of a gallon of gas. Surprising considering I'm a Realtor who basically lives out of his car. Okay, maybe I'll complain about the cost of the actual gallon of gasoline, but not oil prices. Let me explain.
Crude oil prices are subject to a free market. Crude oil is a very special market commodity affected by the widest range of global issues, trends, and conflict. It is also a market commodity that, effectively, can and will change the daily course of our lives. The countries that produce oil will enter into agreements with the countries that want it. Then... we buy it.
Gasoline in the states is also highly taxed... not as high as Europe... so the cost is highly subjective to governments. Something very worthy of complaining about if you feel tax money is being squandered.
So when gas prices go up I feel it as much as anyone (due both to my dependence on my car and my indignation towards the use of tax money), but complain less. This is because I live in Chicago and have a choice to drive less. Even as a Realtor, I can take public transportation on certain days when I predominately work in the office.
Because of the centralization of jobs and industry downtown, a nice little condo by public transportation is a much more valuable commodity than oil. So I don't complain... because the higher gas prices get, the more it makes sense to live near work and take public transportation. And the Chicago housing market thrives.
Remember, the market can change the cost of goods and services on a dime. The location you choose to live will help you weather those fluctuations and dampen their effects.

Location and Transportation Vs Size = No Brainer
Size doesn't matter… at lease not with Chicago condos. Let me explain.
I'm currently working with a very cool couple from Michigan. They are first time buyers this spring, but have rented in the city for two years. They have a pretty big place now-and pay a hefty rent. So, finding themselves established in Chicago, buying makes sense for them considering what they shell out each month for a vintage rental.
However, home shopping has been a little bit of a shock. To meet their transportation, social and price needs they found the available condos a bit small. How would they fit all of their stuff? Would they feel cramped? Could they possibly have their first kid here or there?
Ahhh… the constant conundrum for many of my "suburban young couple turned urban professional" clients.
In these cases I usually suggest we could be in Tokyo or New York City. If that doesn't do it, I move on to the many values that make living in Chicago great and the need for smaller dwellings necessary. It is a real gut check for young people who have grown up in sizable homes.
I first remind clients how great it is to walk a couple blocks to the Red Line or Brown Line and zip to work. You don't even have to remember where your car is (if you have one). Secondly, how great is it to walk to the lake, the coffee shop, even the grocery store. This is truly a lifestyle thing… a gift the City gives us. For instance, it is a fact that urban populations are thinner and healthier than their cohorts in the suburbs.
Third, finding a great little condo with majestic mature trees on the block, a terrific outdoor space, and modern amenities will trump giving some landlord all your money for a large vintage dump. A small space is also a chance for a new beginning, free of clutter and unnecessary possessions. Besides, the reason to be in the city is to develop your career, try new things, enjoy the culture, university and social outlets, and re-prioritize your values. Your own home is a comfortable, customized pit stop during your busy week.
So, by staying light, freeing up clutter, choosing a flat that's close to transportation and offers out- door space, and allowing yourself to enjoy the lifestyle and urban beauty at its best… you won't sweat the square footage.
Oh, and the Michigan couple… we found a great brand new conversion, two bedroom condo with a large deck and front terrace, near the lake and Red Line for under $225K… oh and it's a top floor too.

When deals go bad
Recently, I represented clients of mine in what appeared to be a simple condo purchase. We looked for a couple months and found a great place that met their needs. I helped them present a strong offer, providing suggestions that would increse their chance of an accepted contract.
Oh, by the way, it was a multiple offer situation too.
My clients did present a strong offer and their contract was accepted. But of course, this is not the end of the story. Turns out a few things came up in the home inspection I arranged. More so, the condo association had scheduled major work to the building that would directly affect my clients potential unit. We caught many unknowns in the attorney review period.
When these issues arise, what do you do? Does it instantly mean the deal is over? Can you change the offer price? Can you get out of the deal if you do not like the terms?
Did the deal happen? If yes, why? If no, how come? What did our attorney and myself suggest to my clients?
Call me or email me sometime and you might be surprised by the answers.

Great Open House
This weekend's open house was really terrific at 4518 N Ashland. Open both Saturday and Sunday, over a dozen groups came through. The majority were sent by Realtors or viewed one of our many advertisements. With showings previously in the week, and now two Monday night, I expect an offer this week.
Pricing was a very important aspect of this listing. It is difficult to find a 2 bed 2 bath with the same space, low assessments and location of this unit. It shows great and I market to all my contacts. As well our exposure is diverse. We feature properties on the most used web sites and continue to utilize Google and yahoo campaigns to reach condo buyers. We even have a full color print ad.
Sometimes it is difficult taking a listing that just doesn't look good. Sometimes clients demand to price the listing too high. This time, however, it's hard to deny the price is excellent and the showings are a pleasure.

NEW LISTING: 4518 N Ashland
I just listed a 2 bed 2 bath condo at Ashland and Wilson. Great split floor plan with all the modern finishes. Granite, maple, marble, exposed brick, wood burning fire place... you name it.
The best thing about this place is the open kitchen/great room combo. It makes for a great sized room. Plus, there is a formal entry way and living room. You can actually have the family over for the holidays with this lay out (that is, if you want to).
The condo goes for $319K. Its great space and location. Walk to the Brown Line, Starbucks and boutique BYOBs!
As a Realtor, I don't always get the most ideal properties to show... This one however, is a terrific looking place in a great location... shows well and is at a price point many can afford.
Call anytime for a showing and look at pictures on our web site. Just click the link for our listings below or call 773-510-1597.

The night before my oldest daughter's 10th birthday she learned a tough lesson. Four days earlier we brought home a baby parakeet as a birthday present for her. She spent months researching how to care for parakeets and visiting the pet store. Finally, it was time to get one as a pet. Unfortunately, the cage we had was not quite the right size for a bird as small as a parakeet. Curious as he was, he managed to wriggle between the bars and escape.
He found his way out of the cage….and into the mouth of our 100 pound German Shepherd. Or, so we assume as we were unable to find the little guy anywhere.
There was frantic searching of every nook and cranny of our house. There was sobbing and wailing from my daughter, and accusations thrown at the dog like, "You are EEEEEVIL!"
A few feathers strewn about on the rug were all we found of the little bird. We drew the only logical conclusion. Our sweet family protector and companion had eaten the bird. She did what any dog would do when faced with the same situation.
After the initial shock of the tragedy passed and my daughter calmed down I told her about a kitten I had when growing up. He managed to escape out the door one day and was killed. I didn't have him long. In fact, I don't remember if he had a name. While it was sad, I told my daughter that things like this happen sometimes. And I told her that just like I got a new kitten, we would get her a new bird whenever she was ready.
It only took her a couple of hours to decide she was ready for a new bird.
We went back to the pet store where we got the first bird and told them our tale of woe. They helped us choose a cage with narrower bars so the new bird wouldn't escape. My daughter picked out the only white parakeet in the flock of baby budgies they had available. We brought the new bird home and got her settled in.
The first bird wasn't very friendly. Anytime I tried to hold him he bit me — hard. My daughter hadn't even attempted to hold him as she was fearful of being bitten, too. We hoped he would warm up eventually. But, our new bird (we named her Luna), was friendly from the first day. She allowed my daughter to hold her and even perched on her finger right away! She's playful and responsive to us. Both of my girls love playing with her and teaching her tricks. I enjoy the little bird more than I expected to, as well.
In the week since the first bird's demise we've talked about how maybe what happened to the first bird, albeit tragic, was a "blessing in disguise." It was terribly sad, but something good has come out of it. Luna is a sweeter and friendlier bird than the first one. She's a better pet for our family. I told her the pain of losing her first bird was redeemed by how great the new bird is.
As she grows up and goes through life, my daughter will experience this lesson again, and again. Sometimes the pain won't be resolved as quickly, and the redemptive end won't be as easily seen.
Romans 8:28 says this:
"That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good."
Sometimes I'm not "so sure" that every detail of my life of love for God is worked into something good. There are things I wrestle with and difficulties that seem senseless, purposeless, and even redemptive-less. But somehow the story of that little bird encourages me. Maybe those dark, difficult areas of suffering and struggle, where I wail and scream inside like my daughter did, are being "worked into something good."
I hope over the years my daughter can look back on her 10th birthday as a moment that defined her outlook on tragedy and pain. I pray she discovers encouragement and hope in the midst of whatever troubles she finds herself in as she remembers the story. And I pray that hope she has found can encourage others.

Bookmarked: Family Creative Workshop Volumes
Anyone else remember these Family Creative Workshop books? If so, how awesome are they? When we found this vintage set hiding in the garage, we were blown away by how crafty the 70s were! Building kids furnituire out of cardboard? A desk out of a door and milk crates? Batiking in the backyard? Hells yeah! Michael's Crafts has nothing on these books!
Bookmarked, is an opportunity for ATLA and our readers to revisit some of the triumphs, follies and ideas from decor publications and books from the past. If you've got a great decor photo/image or design idea from an out-of-print source, please send it to la(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com, including the title and publication information.
Each volume in this 24-book set ranges from crafty to decor to toys to science. The way these books are written is a bit cheerleaderish ("People may THINK this is difficult; but really, anyone with two thumbs can make their own poured-acrylic coffee table!"), but it did inspire us to try a few workshop ideas. The big hits were: learning how to make out own root beer (and ginger beer), rolling beeswax candles, and stitching together portrait pillows (with felt and a can-do attitude). You can sometimes find these books on Craigslist or eBay, so if you are of a crafty mind, check em out.

I love these books! I have the set my mother purchased in the 70"s. I used to look at them for hours as a child, dreaming of projects to do! They are an amazing DIY resource and with a few design modifications you can create contemporary things that don't smack of the 1970s. From a graphic standpoint, I also have to say how much i love the cover designs that use blown up photographs of the different projects, creating almost abstract patterns out of candles, quilts and paint!
So cool...I totally want a set now!

Recipe Recommendation: Ribollita
Dana's post last week on cavalo nero kale reminded me that we're in ribollita season. Ribollita is a simple, earthy Tuscan soup made from whatever vegetable scraps and stale bread is on hand, and is eaten in the fall and winter months.
The word "ribollita" means "reboiled" and is used to refer to this soup because it requires a lot of cooking to get the right flavor and texture. It's very hearty and filling, and keeps you warm in the winter. There are many variations of it that are regional or passed down along families. It's a very flexible recipe and can be modified once you get comfortable with the basics of it.
Traditional ribollita takes three days to make. In this post I'm going to recommend two recipes; one is Giada De Laurentiis' recipe, which is easy to make and does not take a lot of time. She uses spinach in place of cavalo nero kale; feel free to make substitutions as you see fit. E-rcps.com has the more traditional, time-consuming recipe which I'll also post below.
Giada De Laurentiis' Ribollita Recipe
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling on bread
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
4 ounces pancetta, chopped
2 cloves garlic, 1 minced and 1 whole
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 pound frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 (15-ounce) can cannelloni beans, drained
1 tablespoon herbs de Provence
3 cups chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1 (3-inch) piece Parmesan rind
4 to 6 ciabatta rolls, halved lengthwise or 1 loaf, sliced
Grated Parmesan, for serving
Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, pancetta, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onion is golden brown and the pancetta is crisp, about 7 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir until dissolved. Add tomatoes and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the brown bits. Add the spinach, beans, herbs, stock, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Drizzle the ciabatta halves with olive oil. Toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and rub the top of the toasts with the whole garlic clove. Place the toasts in the serving bowls and ladle the soup over the toasts. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.
E-rcps' Ribollita Recipe
1 cup (dried) cannellini or Great Northern beans
1 head of cavolo nero (black-leaf kale) (or 1/4 head green cabbage, 6 or more Brussels sprouts, etc.) shredded (sliced very thinly)
1/4 head of Savoy cabbage - shredded
1 bunch of Swiss chard - shredded
1 leek - chopped fine
1 onion - chopped fine
1 large carrot - chopped fine
1 large celery stalk including leaves - chopped fine
2 peeled plum tomatoes, ripe or canned - diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine (optional)
1/2 dried hot chili pepper -pepperoncino- (optional)
2 potatoes (optional) - diced
2 zucchini (optional) - diced
2 - 3 T extra virgin olive oil (use more if you like)
1/2 tsp dried rosemary, or leaves from one fresh sprig, chopped fine (optional)
1/2 tsp dried or fresh oregano (optional)
Salt and pepper
Italian or French bread one or two days old (optional variation)
Water - enough to cover and add - remember that the taste of the water can also affect the way your 'ribollito' will taste.
SOAK the beans in plenty of water for 8 hours or over night. Drain and rinse.
IN A large casserole or cast iron or cast aluminum pot, with a cover and a thick bottom (one variation calls for putting the soup in the oven for ½ hour, so consider this when choosing your cooking vessel), heat the olive on a bit more than medium heat - you want to sautee the ingredients slowly until the onion is transparent or lightly golden NOT browned - add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, leek, optional garlic and chili pepper, stirring often until the onion has turned color (about ten minutes, depending on the heat)
ADD the tomatoes, cabbage and the beans, more olive oil if you wish, and stir well to mix the ingredients.
ADD the optional rosemary/oregano, a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste and mix again.
ADD enough water to cover the ingredients by about 1/4 inch.
BRING to a very slow simmer and cook, covered, for about 1 ½ hours or until the beans start to soften.
ADD water as necessary to keep the ingredients just covered. (for a 'soupier' soup, keep the water level a bit higher).
ADD the optional diced potatoes/zucchini (you can also do this on the following day if there is soup left over, to give it a new taste) - cook for another hour, until potatoes are cooked. Longer cooking softens the ingredients and blends them more.
THE soup can stand for a few hours in a cool kitchen and be re-heated for the meal. The longer it lingers, the better it gets, and some recipes call for refrigerating the soup, covered, over night and serving it re-heated the next day.
VARIATION: Lightly toast the French or Italian bread and put a slice at the bottom of each soup bowl before ladling in the soup.
VARIATION: A Tablespoon of good olive oil on top of each serving.
VARIATION: Prepare a 'soffrito' - sautee some onion, carrot, celery a minced clove of garlic in olive oil in a separate pan and stir in to the soup at about a half hour before serving. After adding the 'soffrito' some recipes call for thinly slicing a red onion on top of the soup, then putting the cooking vessel, uncovered, in the oven at 350 degrees F. for about a half hour before serving.
VARIATION: Spoon out up to half the soup and puree it by running through a 'mouli' or food mill, a food processor (a few bursts) or forcing it through a coarse sieve with the back of a wooden spoon; return the puree to the soup - makes for a much thicker version.
CHEESE is not served with this soup in Tuscany, but suit yourself.

If you are in SF you must try this version:
I liked it so much that I traveled 6000 miles to try the version it was inspired by.
I like the looks of this!! Thanks for the recipe.
awesome...perfect for fall season, and the leftover will save me a lot of time from cooking the next day!
WOW. I tried Giada's version last night - I used what I had on hand, so that meant canadian bacon instead of pancetta and a can of tomato sauce in place of the tomato paste and diced tomatoes. I thought it was fantastic, and my boyfriend loved it too.
Made Giada's version with a few alterations. Skipped the pancetta (since i don't eat meat), but added some extra carrots and a few brussel sprouts. Used 2x the tomatoes, and only 2 cups of vegetable broth. I used fresh rosemary instead of dried in the herb mixture, since that's what I had around. I didn't use cibatta bread, but I had some whole grain breadsticks I sliced up, toasted in the oven and rubbed garlic on then put them on the side of the stew instead of the stew on top of the bread. Seriously awesome. "High-end restaurant quality" was my friends' response to this dish. So delicious.
Just stumbled on this post this weekend and made Giada's version, kind of on a whim. I have to second meganificent's rating: this soup is friggin' awesome, and has been added to my repertoire. I used bacon because I couldn't find pancetta, and it came out just fine. It's hearty, packed with flavor, and just feels so healthy. Perfect for the chilly fall days to come.

ImageWrap creation is a little absurd...
I wrote to the support to suggest this.
I have an idea to semplify the ordering of books.
The problem is about the ImageWrap cover.
The system you use (the enlargement of the existent cover-image) oblige the author to create a cover smaller and with bigger edges than the original idea.
Or to create two books. Absurd.
One solution could be this: if someone orders an ImageWrap cover of an existent book, instead of to enlarge the cover-design, you could add a border in the color of the background of the pages (like it happens if I order the Dust Jacket option) and use the added border to create the edges for the imageWrap.
Simple! (I think…) :-)
An example with my book: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/646950#book-settings
The picture on the cover is present until the margin, and the title is studied to have that dimension.
If I (or someone other) order an ImageWrap I lost 2,5 cm. (1 inch) of the image and of the title!
But THIS is the design I studied for my book, and I would have the same design in every type of cover!
What do you think about this problem?
Posted by
Jun 19, 2009 12:41am PDTPermalink
If I understand your question correctly I don't think it would work, since the dust jackets are already too large. You can see this even in the books being held by the faceless people on the blurb home page. So any adjustment to a dust cover to make an image wrap cover would be based on a wrong size to begin with.
No, I did not want to say this: no an adjustment from a Dust Jacket!
Only the color extension LIKE they do in the Dust Jacket.
If I order an ImageWrap of an existent book, they have only to add a 1 inch (2,5 cm.) border to the existent image of the cover with the color background of the book.
In my book, for example, this board should be black
That's all.
Ciao, Raffaella

I completely agree Raffaella. I've added a 1" border around my cover image to make way for that wrap, although I can't understand why Blurb hasn't built some sort of image-wrap- border into Booksmart…pretty dumb actually.
What I'm unsure about is whether or not to add the border to ALL 4 SIDES of the image. If one side faces the spine, do you need to add the border? That part isn't wrapped, is it?
As with any bleed cover, you must allow for image to go beyond the trim. In Quark, InDesign, or other professional layout programmes, you can see the bleed. However, currently you cannot in BookSmart, so you have to eye-ball it and move the image around so that you know the image is a good 1/4" (my own allowance) beyond the visible trim.
As for the spine – I believe I am correct in saying it is not an issue since there is no bleed here, The image is simply cropped off to allow for the beginning of the spine.
I hope this helps.
It would be an easy process to create a photoshop script/action to automat the addition of a 1" colored border on three sides of a cover image.
It is ignorant to stretch the image a total of two inches and the horizontal by 1" – this makes everything skinner! NOt only this, the stretching (unproportional enlargements) is creating truncations.
So we have with image wrap:
1) drastically dull finishes
2) skinny heads
3) truncated pictures
A simple (user selectable 1" border (make it 7/8" border) would be easy to program in to get the top, right, and bottom sides of the front cover; and the top, left, and bottom sides of the back cover.
The most horrible of the problems is the unproportional stretching; the 2nd and almost as bad is the dulling.

After nearly three days of jury selection, the First Degree Murder trial of 20 year old Jacques Lisbey started late Monday morning with opening arguments from state attorneys, and almost ended with defense attorneys calling for a mistrial before they could offer up their side of the case.
Lisbey is accused of shooting 20 year old Malik Moore to death in early August, 2011, in what authorities say was a dispute over a female acquaintance.
During opening statements, Fairbanks Assistant District Attorney Corrine Vorenkamp told jurors that Moore sustained six gunshot wounds, including three to the chest, from a .44 caliber handgun.
Despite being mortally wounded, Moore was able to call 911, and alert authorities and emergency services personnel to his whereabouts in a wooded area near the Sandvik Apartments off University Avenue.
Moore's mother, Terrinita Smith, wept in the court gallery as Vorenkamp described the final moments of her son's life.
"Malik was able to give a vague identification as to who shot him," said Vorenkamp. "State Troopers kept telling him to "stay with us," but it was obvious his wounds were fatal."
Lisbey, according to Vorenkamp, contacted friends shortly after the shooting, telling them that he "had done something stupid," and that he "had shot Malik."
She says he then asked if he "could turn himself in."
Vorenkamp says one of Lisbey's friends, Lavonnya Hedgepeth, transported him to State Trooper Headquarters on Peger Road.
Vorenkamp says Troopers were "very busy" with the shooting incident, and "had no idea" who they were looking for initially.
"I'm the one you're looking for," Lisbey reportedly told Troopers, who placed him in custody.
It was the end of Vorenkamp's presentation that drew the most controversy, however, and had Lisbey's court appointed Public Defender, Jennifer Hite, calling for a mistrial in the case. The veteran prosecutor is heard telling jurors, "I don't know what the defense will be in this case," among other assertions Hite perceived to be "highly prejudicial" to her client.
After telling jurors to "go home," resume hearing the case Tuesday, and clear the courtroom, Superior Court Judge Robert Downes had his clerk play back a recorded version of what Vorenkamp said.
Downes says he would take calls for a mistrial "under advisement," but says its "highly unlikely" a mistrial will be called in the case.
If convicted of First Degree Murder and Evidence Tampering, Lisbey faces a maximum life prison term, without the possibility of parole.

Arisia 2012 Costume Considerations
After much consideration, it has been decided that I'm going to attempt a Metropolis (1928) cosplay for Arisia 2012; specifically of Maria in half-human, half-robot form.
Thinking of it as an opportunity to merge my interests in Weimar history with that of science fiction and cosplay, it would be an undertaking, but entirely worthwhile if things ended up coming together in a successful manner. Being a costume that would be without question the most difficult I've yet to do, I'll need your suggestions, Tumblr.
How would you go about creating a Metropolis themed costume?

Fix the economy? High-speed rail. Cure transportation gridlock? High-speed rail. Restore American entrepreneurship? High-speed rail. Solve America's health-care problems? High-speed rail. Hearing President Barack Obama extol the virtues of high-speed rail is like listening to a 19th Century carnival hawker claim a single bottle of Dr. Goode's Magic Elixir will cure all that ails you.
Just as those foul-tasting nostrums failed to cure patients' maladies, high-speed rail will solve none of our pressing national problems; in fact, it will make them worse by increasing our deficit and draining money from more productive endeavors.
The fact of the matter is, not since World War II has America been a country in which its people travel by rail. Yes, there are a few transportation corridors in which commuter rail serves as a popular means of transportation; the rail link between New York City and Washington, D.C., for example. But beyond those few examples, Americans overwhelmingly prefer to travel by car or plane. Environmentalists, train buffs, and President Obama may wish it were otherwise; but it just ain't so.
Yet, in his State-of-the-Union address last month, and in his recently unveiled FY 2011 budget, Obama persists in proposing to throw money – lots of money — at the myth that is high-speed rail; as if following a magical formula, "if you fund it, they will come."
Sure, high-speed rail works in other countries – Japan and Europe, for example — and the trains themselves are really cool-looking. But the economies and geography of such countries are far different from ours. High-speed rail is not a one-size-fits-all solution that performs identically in one country or region as in another. If built here with taxpayer dollars (which is the only way they will be built) – such projects inevitably will become black holes into which countless billions of dollars will disappear.
I heard the sales pitch repeatedly during the years I served in the Congress. One time, it was an Atlanta-to-Chattanooga high-speed rail line; another time, Atlanta-Birmingham, or maybe Charlotte. All these proposals lacked one thing – a basis in reality.
Yet, here we are again, in 2011, debating high-speed rail; this one weighing in at an initial cost of a half-trillion dollars, exclusive of the inevitably massive operating costs, over the next 25 years. During his State of the Union address last month, Obama claimed his plans would "give 80 percent of Americans access to high-speed rail" — to which one might ask, "so what?" Access to a costly rail system means nothing if people won't use it.
At least one state governor – Florida's Rick Scott – has seen through the smoke and mirrors of Obama's proposal, and already turned down $2.4 billion in federal funds for a proposed, Orlando-Tampa high-speed rail line. Scott knows the initial dollars are the tip of the iceberg, and the system would wind up costing Florida taxpayers many times that figure over the long run.
Other states that have taken the high-speed rail plunge are feeling the bite that is fiscal reality. California, for example, is in the initial phases of a vast high-speed rail network. But costs are expected to run between $65 and $81 billion – far beyond the early estimate of $45 billion.
Vice President Biden boldly declared early last year that the administration's high-speed rail proposal would be the key to "taking cars off congested highways, reducing carbon emissions, and saving billions of dollars in human productivity." To the vice president, this may be – to quote his whispered note to his boss at last year's health care news conference – another "big, f—ing deal." However, with our country facing a staggering, $14 trillion debt and a projected $1.7 trillion budget deficit, let's hope cooler minds than Biden's prevail on this one. High-speed rail is an idea whose time has not come; and probably never will.

"High speed rail will solve many of the problems facing the nation"
No it won't and you have nothing to back it up.
"and the sooner you all drop the partisan politics and focus on the reality of the day'
Pot, meet kettle.
"such as the fact that oil is rising to the point of choking America '
You can think Obama for that.
"Building more roads as a solution shows that you all are stuck in the past'
Yet no one brought up roads.
"High speed rail is the only thing we can do as a nation to significantly reduce our oil consumption as part of our daily life.'
That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
"otherwise we would be hearing one from the so-called experts'
You mean like you? LOL

Now I know why Bob Barr is an ex-congressman! He is too wise and too smart to mingle with the idiots in the US Congress. Anyone with one eye and half sense knows that air pollution in GA and man-made global warming is a scam. We don't need another boondoggle to add to Amtrack and MARTA.

Ideological drivel based on ignorance, willful or otherwise. Here's a fact for you: ALL forms of public transportation are subsidized. The feds provide the air traffic control system for the nation's airlines and states and municipalities provide airports. Why are interstate highways built with reinforced concrete? Certainly not for my Toyota Tercel. Are you proposing toll boths on bike lanes? And should sidewalks be paid for by the businesses and homeowners that benefit from them? Yet despite steadily increasing demand and all the social and environmental benefits, you start foaming at the mouth and call passenger rail a boondoggle because it's subsidized! Mark Twain said it best, sir: Better to say nothing and let people think you're a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

We have already spent billions to keep Amtrak afloat ( yes, you can now get a patdown AFTER you leave the train). What's few more trillion gonna hurt.

Good article again, Mr. Barr. I wish the same logic was applied to NASA–how many more trips do we need to take to outer space (and its cost)? The only place I see rail needed of any kind is in densely populated cities, yet even then, you have to consider the boondoggle of a rail system like L.A. Still, I have heard that the high-speed rail systems in Germany and France are solvent and effective–what is the difference between the U.S.?

"I wish the same logic was applied to NASA'
Don't worry, Obama has given NASA over for "muslim outreach."

A. The cost for High Speed Rail is a pittance when compared to the unfunded deficits of entitlements.
B. There are a few areas in America where the density matches that of European Countries. Namely, Florida, parts of Texas, and parts of California.
C. Across the other parts of the country, the solution, as proposed, does not really fit the description of High Speed Rail. It's actually just providing rail service where there isn't any currently.
I have no illusions that there might be better ways to spend this money. But Barr's argument, as always, holds no water. The guy is an intellectual charlatan.
March 1st, 2011
9:08 am
Trains are subsidized? I wasn't aware that roads were constructed and maintained free of charge. Until every road in the US is made a toll road and operates on a break even basis, the rail subsidy argument won't hold water.
March 1st, 2011
12:06 pm
Rep. Barr, How about "regular speed" commuter trains on existing tracks as a solution? I live in Carrollton. Be nice to drive to Bremen and "train" to downtown (40 mins.). Save on gas and parking and reduce traffic congestion/accidents..
March 6th, 2011

Wow… I started to read this list of comments to see what people thought about the article. And it rapidly deteriorated into name-calling and stone-throwing. If this is the most intelligent kind of debate we Americans can have, I seriously fear for our country. Do you all represent the Atlanta area?

8 things we learned at The Oscars 2012
1. Sacha Baron Cohen will do anything
He arrived on the red carpet dressed as his new character The Dictator, holding what he explained were the ashes of his "dear friend and doubles tennis partner" Kim Jong Il. "It was his dream to come to the Oscars," said Cohen, before 'accidentally' tipping the ashes all over interviewer Ryan Seacrest's tuxedo. As a security dragged him away, Cohen called out to Seacrest: "When people ask what you're wearing, you can say, 'Kim Jong-Il!'", which pretty much guarantees he'll never be asked to present In Memoriam.

Students at Town Creek Elementary School in Brunswick County spent Friday celebrating the fact that they completed 100 days of reading. Officials say the project started last September and it was made possible because of a grant from ATMC.
Teachers say 196 students completed the goal and about half of them actually read for about 200 nights.
Friday, there was face painting, cotton candy, carnival games and three bouncy houses for the students who successfully completed the project.
Organizers say the positive motivation helps the kids learn to read and learn to love to read, a skill they'll need for the rest of their life.
"It helps them with their imagination, it helps them with their ability to understand things later on," Croslyn Johnson a teacher at the school who helped organize the project explained. "In kindergarten through 2nd grade they are learning to read, in 3rd through 5th grade they are reading to learn, if they don't get it now, it's really going to hurt them later on.

Hi Charlotte,
Welcome to Adventure Wellington! Great to have you on board, and hope to see you soon on one of AW's many events. Did you know there is a newbies walk scheduled for 15th September? This is a great way to meet some new (and a couple of regular) faces who are part of the group. Hope you can make this and/or other events in the near future.
