Titus Andronicus Wants You To Support Local Business — Via Twitter
O Music Award-nominated rockers Titus Andronicus (Must Follow Artist On Twitter) have launched a very DIY Twitter campaign on their website to herald the recent release of their third album, Local Business, as well as their upcoming U.S. tour. Like many bands before them, they'll be crowdsourcing fans at tour stops around the country, asking what restaurants, shops, etc they should hit up while they're in town — with a slight twist. They're only interested in the real local deal, not the chains.
Lead singer Patrick Stickles has called the band's new album a more stripped-down affair than Titus' massively popular second effort, The Moniter, an epic thumper that evokes the American Civil War. It's right there in the title choice, really, Local Business — a stark contrast to naming your album after a massive warship.
That scaled-down feel is definitely apparent in the single "In The Big City," an intimate track detailing, it seems, Stickles' move from New Jersey to New York and all the turmoil that semi-success and city life entails. Underlying all that, however, is a call to remember where you came from. You can check out the video for that single, which premiered today, up yonder.
In an effort to capture Titus' boot strappy demeanor, the band has launched a Twitter campaign and website that honors indie, local businesses (see what they did there?). From the band's blog:
Lots of people have been asking me about why our new record is called "Local Business." There are many reasons, but first among them is the most obvious – that Titus Andronicus likes to support local business. It is easy enough at home, where all of our favorite local businesses are well known and easily accessible, but out here on the road, it can be hard, and we are often forced to succumb to the corporate ogre to get necessities like, say, food. By now, you are wondering how you can help. Well, we are prepared to make it easy.
During their upcoming tour, the band is asking people who reside in tour cities to tweet about their favorite local joints using the hashtag #LOCALBUSINESSFOREVER. That way, fans and band alike can check out those mom & pop spots. They've also thrown up a dedicated site featuring a Google Map highlighting an array of indie record shops, offering up records and tickets to fans to make the effort to swing by on specific days. The band also promises to tweet back at fans, pumping them for more vital info about local DIY hotspots.
About a year ago, we hit up Stickles to talk about Twitter. The band had just joined the service, and Stickles was already loudly and proudly voicing his opinions right out the gate (to the chagrin of Kurt Vile, who he bashed on the service). At the time, he explained his rationale for joining the microblogging service, and it still seems like it rings true today: To connect with his fans in an authentic way. Check it out:
Social media was an autonomous choice that I made. But as far as keeping it real goes, it's all just about empowering the kids. So, hopefully, they come to the Titus Andronicus concert, they see us on stage and they're like, 'That's the sh*t. That rocks.' But, hopefully they'll find some other ways — either we're talking about real sh*t in the lyrics and we get on Twitter and talk about real sh*t, or we're at the merch table after the show, selling T-shirts and having real talk with the kids then — and hopefully when all that happens the kids see us and say, 'Hey, that was cool. That concert kicked ass, and now we see that these guys are just regular old folks like us. Let's think about what kind of sh*t we can do now.'
What do you think of Titus Andronicus' Twitter campaign?


text: The "important" things in life are not always long term or far off. Sometimes they're immediate. Lesser things like watching the rains or counting slugs on a log. I would think if one bides his time and takes notice of the lesser things then the "important" things will come naturally. Eventually you may not even be able to tell the difference between the two. So I guess in the end, everything is lesser.

Jimi Hendrix arrived in London on September 24, 1966, as an unknown guitar slinger. By the time he left in June 1967, he was one of the biggest acts in Britain, with a string of hit singles, a debut album that had made number two in the charts behind him, and a reputation for wild virtuoso live performances. As a new exhibition, 'Hear My Train A Comin' – Hendrix Hits London', opens this week, curator and Hendrix fanatic Jacob McMurray guides James Lachno through the celebrated US musician's explosive first trip to London and how it made him a star.
Hear My Train A Comin' – Hendrix Hits London runs from 27 July – 26 August at the Hospital Club, London.

Jair Jurrjens watched Brandon Beachy start in his place for the third straight time Friday night, but there was at least good news for him Friday afternoon.
Jurrjens threw his second full bullpen of 45-50 pitches in three days, and he said his right knee felt good enough to pitch in a game.
"Some pitches I feel it, some pitches I don't," Jurrjens said. "It was good."
Manager Bobby Cox had said he might pitch Jurrjens in relief this weekend against the Phillies. It would give him a chance to see if Jurrjens should have a spot on a potential postseason roster. Cox didn't want to commit to that Friday afternoon. He's more likely to test Jurrjens in relief if and when the Braves clinch the wild card.
"It's just good to know that I think he could pitch," Cox said.
But with the progress Jurrjens made Friday, the Braves can at least consider pitching Jurrjens in the Division Series, if they advance.
"Those are going to be some really hard decisions," Cox said. "Really hard."
Jurrjens said the torn meniscus in his right knee still bothered him when he shuffled, like he would do leading off a base. He wasn't confident about baserunning or swinging a bat yet, but when asked if he'd be hurting the team to pitch now, Jurrjens said no.
Jurrjens said he's prepared to accept whatever decision the Braves make.
"Right now it's not about anybody personally, it's about the team," Jurrjens said. "Anything that's going to be good for the team I will respect, just deal with it and have fun."

@Bruce Especially after the great year he had last year and the year prior where he anchored the staff as a rook. He pitches his heart out two years in a row, only to have his season derailed by injuries. Great attitude by him, really a mature bunch this Braves team is.
October 1st, 2010
10:50 pm
No reason to have Jurrjens on the postseason roster. We've got plenty of healthy arms to choose from. I'm glad he's sticking with it, though. I know the kid cares.
October 1st, 2010
11:58 pm
Not a good night — looks like the Padres have discovered their bats and are on their way to winning tonight, so it looks as if our magic number will still be two tomorrow. I think that the odds are still with us, but I don't like the way it all fell apart so quickly. I'm afaid this one's on Brooksie. If he throws routinely to first (instead of poorly to a moving target),FIVE Philly runs don't score in that inning, and the whole dynamic alters for whomever would be pitching in the seventh. Omar, Brian, and Jason — pick it up a bit! Alex — come on, man. You're a good hitter. Derek — keep those ribbies coming. You guys can do it tomorrow.
October 2nd, 2010
9:36 am
Good news on JJ. It will be a really tough decision for Cox. I'm sure he'll make the best one at the time.
Re: Stanley
Love the post, man. It was on Brooks, and he felt terrible. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't go 2-4 with a couple of doubles today. I'll be there later. Would be fitting to clinch on the day Cox is honored.
October 2nd, 2010
12:10 pm
JJ should not be used anymore this season.If Bobby doe,s he playing with jurrens baseball future.Never put a pitcher in a game when they have a leg or foot problem.We can wait another year and have JJ back plus a new manager which we need bad.

Man Charged After Alligator Eats His Hand
A man in the US may have had a hand bitten off by a hungry alligator, but he is now facing charges for trying to feed the animal.
Risky business: Feeding alligators is an offence in Florida
A Florida airboat captain whose hand was bitten off by an alligator is facing charges over his attempt to feed the animal.
Collier County Jail records show that Wallace Weatherholt, 63, has been charged with unlawfully feeding the alligator and has posted a $1,000 (£640) bond.
His next court date is August 22.
Weatherholt was attacked on June 12 as he was giving an Indiana family a tour.
The family said Weatherholt hung a fish over the side of a boat and had his hand at the water's surface when the nine-foot long animal attacked.
Wildlife officers tracked down and killed the alligator.
Weatherholt's hand was found too, but it could not be reattached.

enjoy. car rides are fun.
"I call the seat next to Sara." Pete and Kate yelled at the same time, and then turned to glare at each other. Sara laughed,
"Ugh I call the seat next to Pete and Kate." Pete got in the second to last back row of the van followed by Sara and then Kate. The back row was full of equipment and obviously un-sittable. Patrick was about to get in after Kate but Joe cut him off and plopped down next to her.
"Dude what the fuck?" Patrick said throwing his arms up in the air. Joe just shrugged,
"You know I like the back seat." Patrick glared,
"And you know I like sitting next to my girlfriend." Andy, always being the mediator, stepped in,
"Children, children lets not fight. Joe if you need to sit in the very back seat oh so badly
then Kate can just move to the seat in front of it so Patrick can sit next to her." The boys nodded but Kate frowned,
"But I want to sit next to Sara, we need a little estrogen patch back here and with me,
her and Pete, it should be enough to sustain us for a while." Sara nodded, and Pete, finally realizing what his sister just said, cocked his head to the side and yelled,
"HEY!" but was ignored. Kate turned to Joe and stuck he bottom lip out.
"Please, please move Joseph so Patrick and I can sit together." Joe rolled his eyes and groaned but got out of the van, Patrick stuck his tongue out at Joe and sat down next to Kate. Joe got into the aisle in front of them followed by Matt, and Brian. Andy was driving and Sam was in the passenger seat. Matt laughed at Joe,
"Ha you're hard up, and weren't kidding about jumping all over Kate." Joe glared at Matt and punched him in the arm.
"Shut up."
Before moving, Andy rolled down his window and Dirty walked up dangling the keys to the van behind them.
"Ok dude we're following you with the rest of the shit, so don't get lost." Dirty warned.
"Oh I never do." Andy replied while cleaning his glasses on his shirt. Dirty nodded and walked away, Andy started up the van and they were on the road. About an three hours into the trip almost everyone was asleep except Andy (of course) who was driving and talking to Sam; Pete, Kate and Patrick. Joe, Matt and Brian we're sprawled out on top of each other in their seat, and Sara had her head and most of her upper body in Pete's lap and her legs over Kate. Pete and Kate were playing cards using Sara as their table and Patrick was on his laptop fiddling around with songs and such. After Kate beat Pete for the third time in a row, he threw down his cards.
"I'm bored." He sighed.
"Me too." She responded. Pete laughed and arched an eyebrow at Kate, who knew exactly what he wanted to do, they used to do it al the time when they were kids. Pete held up a finger and mouthed 'one', two fingers and mouthed 'two' and when he put three fingers up the pair started singing loudly,
"The sun'll come out
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow.
Come what may.
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!"
The sudden singing scared Andy who swerved knocking the highly confused and now awake Joe, Matt and Brian onto the floor of the van, Sara however still lay sprawled out sleeping. Pete and Kate just laughed in amusement, and Andy glared at them in the rear view mirror,
"Yeah, they are definitely related." Patrick now noticing the commotion pulled his headphones off and asked,
"What happened?" Joe, Matt and Brian just mumbled something incoherent and Patrick turned to Kate and Pete who just shrugged and replied in unison.
"We pulled an Annie." Patrick rolled his eyes and nodded before putting back on his headphones and returning to his previous task.

I get better definition for blending using Bantu knots than braid outs or double strand twists. I think it's the texture and "thinness" of my hair. #hair #bantu #weaves #curls #teamnatural #borderlinethirsttrapphoto
Confession-how I really look without weaves and make up, slightly hung over, after a long night out. Yesterday. Most times, I look like I'm 12 years old or something 👧😟 #NoShade #TeamNatural #LiveLoveLife
Hello wonderful people! Today's post is brought to you by questions I received regarding my skin care. I will provide an overview of the steps I take to keep my skin clear and refreshed. This will be in two parts as it may be quite long for some.
**First, a note. This is what works for me. This may not necessarily work for you. As I am not a doctor or a dermatologist, please do not take these steps as such. Always consult with your dermatologist should you have specific questions about your skin care options.
With that out of the way, let's get started.
About Me
While my skin is clear for the most part (with the exception of that time of the month - ladies) I do have a flair up of dermatitis occasionally in two dark patches - one on my leg and one on my lip when dehydrated. According to the dermatologist, these have been diagnosed as eczema. There was a cream that was recommended for me, but I prefer a more natural approach when it comes to my skin. These steps will focus mainly on facial care, although some steps can be used for the entire body if altered slightly.
- Primary cleanser - black soap. I have used black soap for years on my entire body and my experience has been a positive one. I do not buy soap that is "black" in color, as this soap contains dyes and additives which can stain your bathtub and clothing. True black soap should be brown in color and malleable. It can also come in liquid form which is made by using hot water and infusing the soap, water, glycerin, and oils. A nice step-by-step can be found here. I do order my black soap from a specific company that imports it, however, I will not include the business name here as the shipping times (recently) have not been as efficient as I would have liked them to be. Nevertheless, you can usually find this soap at your local flea market or natural goods store.
- Using a small amount (the size of a nickel) work the soap into a lather and use your fingers to gently cleanse in a circular motion on a wet face. Black soap lathers really well and a nickel-sized amount will last you for a week providing that you keep the soap stored in a dry place.
- Rinse by cupping water in palms of hands and distributing over entire face.
- Use a face towel to remove excess water once the soap has been removed.
- Secondary Cleanser - Clinique and Trader Joe's Oatmeal and Honey Soap. These used when traveling as black soap tends to be messy if not stored in a proper container.
- Primary Exfoliator - Green Tea Exfoliating Scrub. When I need a combination of exfoliation and moisture, this is my go-to. My skin is always soft without the feeling of clogged pores or greasiness. I purchase this from the same supplier as the black soap. I have previously used a brown sugar scrub, which was also effectively for both my hands and my face. I usually do this in the shower at least once a week.
- After cleansing with the black soap as described above, use about a teaspoon of scrub and apply gently in a circular motion for 30seconds.
- Using the cupping action above, distribute water across entire face ensuring the cleanser and exfoliating beads are completely rinsed.
- If using an oil based exfoliator (such as a homemade sugar scrub) you may want to wash again to make sure oil does not clog your pores.
- Secondary Exfoliator - Clinique 7 day scrub. This is usually used in conjunction with the Clinique cleanser and moisturizing routine. While the cleansing routing is the same as the Green Tea Exfoliating Scrub, I used significantly less product (approximately 1/4 of a teaspoon).
- You can also use a salt scrub, but make sure the crystals are not too coarse as to leave scratches on the skin. I love the Sea Salt and Seaweed Spa soap from Chagrin Valley. When I have this soap, I use at least once a week, if not twice in the shower.
That is it for part 1. Black soap and exfoliate. Easy right?
Part 2 will cover deep cleansing, moisturizing, as well as supplements and cosmetics. See you soon!

I, Kathryn Roberts began trading as Colour Therapy Silks in September 2010. The business was created to fill a gap in the market for conscious healing products also combining well with my passions and new family life.
For me the process of colouring silk was and still is pure escapist bliss, a true sense of alchemy and a welcome relief from the stress I had been under both in my previous teaching career and the shift that occurs when we start to follow our true spiritual purpose.
Many months have now passed and our product range continues to expand however, my technique has remained the same; featuring some science and a healthy dose of mystery and magic.

Brian Feltner is the first FIT Challenge contestant who couldn't be weighed on a regular scale.
At more than a quarter of a ton, Feltner stepped on an industrial scale at Akro-Mils.
It read 529 pounds.
"I don't feel my weight. I don't feel as big as I am now, but I know that soon enough, 500 pounds isn't good for me," Feltner said.
"Just getting to my size, normal everyday things are getting a little bit hard."
The 29-year-old has always wanted to lose weight; he has always talked about it.
He has three brothers. Two are skinny; the other is a college baseball player.
And then there is him.
"I was always the chubby kid. I played football through high school. After high school, I was little over 300 pounds," said the bouncer at Daly's Pub.
He gained some weight as a factory worker, but walked most of his shift so he stayed within the 300-range.
When he opened Feltner's Flippin' Pizza in Marblehead, he gained more than 100 pounds eating pizza and bread all day.
Feltner hopes that working out at NOMS and learning to eat right will help him lose 150 pounds in the next six months of the FIT
His ultimate goal is to be in the high 200s. At 6 feet 4 inches, Feltner doesn't want to be skinny; he wants to be healthy.
"I am going to quit talking about it and just do it."
Brian's stats
WEIGHT: 529 pounds
WAIST: 73 inches

Granite High School (Utah)
The decision to change from a traditional high school caused some controversy in the local community because it coincided with the removal of all the school's sports programs, many of which had been played for nearly a century. The removal of sports led to increased transfers to outlying schools among the student body at that time.
At the end of the 2009 school year, the school was closed. A final open house was held on July 3, 2009.
It is currently shut-down

Hosted by Jack Rafferty, Pumpcast News is a long-running bit on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in which certain customers at a gas station in Burbank, CA get to interact live with the television screen attached to the pump. They perform silly stunts and answer questions asked by Rafferty, usually with hilarious results, and late last week viewers were treated to one of the segment's more memorable moments in which a husband and wife duo pulled off a wildly entertaining karaoke rendition of Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" and the Eurythmics hit "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)."
Seemingly caught off guard at first, the husband immediately began answering Rafferty's questions. He was such a good sport that there was very little coaxing involved to get him to sing, and the results were hilarious, yet very impressive because the man actually had a pretty darn good voice.
His wife, laughing her head off inside of the car, soon was brought out to join in on the fun, and her voice was almost better than her husband's.
And then came the dance break…
This video has gone uber viral in just a few days, standing at over six million views across the internet. Find out why everyone is talking about this incredibly fun little Video of the Day that is sure to get you movin' and groovin' on a Monday morning.

Eden Hazard's hat trick lifts Chelsea to Premier League summit
London, England, United Kingdom (4E Sports) – Eden Hazard delivered a hat trick as Chelsea moved to the top of the Premier League standings via a 3-0 blanking of Newcastle United Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
Jose Mourinho's men took advantage of Arsenal's 5-1 loss to Liverpool and Manchester City's goalless draw with Norwich City to leapfrog their title rivals.
Chelsea is just one point ahead of Arsenal, two points in front of Manchester City and six points ahead of Liverpool.
With his dazzling performance, Hazard took his tally for the season to 14 goals.
Hazard opened the scoring midway through the first half with an emphatic finish in the 27th minute, and his second quickly followed as he rounded off a superb Chelsea breakaway after 34 minutes.
Hazard applied the finishing touches with a penalty goal in the 63rd minute to complete the trifecta.
Despite the win, Mourinho is not yet contented because of the distance between the top four teams in the standings.
"When we are far from fifth and have a Champions League position under control, then it will be time to look at Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool and see where they are and see the distances," said Mourinho.
"From that point, we can start thinking about other things," he added.
Meanwhile, Martin Skrtel and Raheem Sterling scored two goals apiece to help Liverpool rout Arsenal, 5-1, at Anfield while Manchester City found itself in third place after being held to a goalless draw by Norwich.
Manuel Pellegrini's previously free-scoring side has run into unforeseen problems in their last two outings, losing 1-0 to Chelsea last time out and drawing a blank against the Canaries.
The closest they came to a goal was when Alvaro Negredo headed a first-half corner against the crossbar.
Southampton was also frustrated at St Mary's Stadium after settling for a 2-2 draw with Stoke City while Crystal Palace topped West Bromwich Albion, 3-1.
West Ham United blanked Aston Villa, 2-0, Hull City beat Sunderland by the same scoreline, while Swansea City downed Cardiff City, 3-0.

Earth Day Network today launched the Green Schools Leadership Center (www.earthday.org/education), a comprehensive online platform that will advance the green schools movement nationwide. The Green Schools site will support the rapidly growing green schools market with a broad range of tools and resources that can be used to address six major opportunities to improve and modernize America's K-12 schools: greening school facilities, dramatically improving school food, upgrading school transportation, increasing recreation opportunities and outdoor education; and promoting environmental literacy as well as civic and community engagement. The site provides a comprehensive library of resources, including curriculum and best practice as well as an opportunity to network with the leading experts and practitioners in the field.
"Today's students are tomorrow's leaders, citizens and workforce, and our Green School Leadership Center is designed to help students and their fellow educators to participate as citizens, scientists, educators and business leaders in a greener world," stated Kathleen Rogers, President of Earth Day Network. "Earth Day Network is proud to support schools' efforts to embrace green technology, energy efficiency, healthy food, civic and environmental literacy. Our goal is to help the next generation to prepare for the jobs of the future and to understand and solve complex environmental challenges."
On average, a green school utilizes 33 percent less energy, 32 percent less water, and reduces waste by 74 percent when compared to a traditionally built school building. These savings alone can average $100,000 annually — enough to hire two new teachers, buy 250 new computers or purchase 5,000 new textbooks. Green schools can also reduce the following pollutants on an annual basis: 1,200 lbs of nitrogen oxide (NOx) — a principal component of smog, 1,300 lbs of sulfur dioxide (SO2) — a principal cause of acid rain, and 585,000 lbs of carbon dioxide (CO2) — the principal greenhouse gas. New studies in the U.S. indicate that green school students are performing better academically and are healthier and happier.
"Earth Day Network looks forward to utilizing our new Green Schools Leadership Center to help schools reduce their energy use; improve the overall educational process; and lead healthier lives," said Sean S. Miller, Education Director at Earth Day Network.
The Green Schools Leadership Center is the first comprehensive green schools site. Its interactive, online platform prepares teachers, students, parents, and other stakeholders to lead the effort to green all facets of school life. The Center will also provide resources and tools to schools seeking to win the new Green Ribbon Schools award. The Green Ribbon Schools award, recently announced by the U.S. Department of Education, rewards schools that demonstrate significant progress towards increasing energy efficiency and other measures of sustainability and improving the overall health of students and staff.

The recently established Landscape Agency has a new way of working to allow it to offer appropriate experts for each project Lie of the land
'Do you think it sounds like an escort agency?' Patrick James asks anxiously, when quizzed about the choice of name for his new operation, The Landscape Agency. The answer to which is 'no', although the three co-founders are presentable enough to moonlight in the unlikely event that times prove hard. What it does sound like is an employment agency, and that is not so far from the truth.

Times Online today had sight of an e-mail exchange between Google and the chief executive of Independent International Investment Research (IIIR) - which is threatening legal action over the trademark for GMail. In the e-mails, the IIR takes Google to task over official comments it made in response to his case.

Automotive News Europe reports vehicle registrations in the European Union fell to 1.08 million in May. That's down from 1.15 million a year earlier and marks the lowest number for any May since 1993. General Motors, Peugeot-Citroen, Fiat, Renault, Ford, Volkswagen and Audi all saw sales fall off last month, though Seat managed to increase its sales by a relatively heady 13 percent. Currently, analysts are predicting that the European automotive market will continue to contract through 2013, though may show signs of rebounding by the end of the year. From there, it may be a further five years before EU car sales recover to their pre-recession heights.
In Germany, new-car registrations fell by 10 percent in May. France suffered a similar fall while Italy saw a decline of eight percent and Spain suffered a dip of three percent. The UK, meanwhile, saw registrations climb by 11 percent. EU heads of state are currently looking for ways to reverse the region's economic decline. Unemployment is now at 12 percent in the 17 countries that make up the European Union.

Welcome to the Institute for International Integration Studies (IIIS)
2009 Conferences
The 2nd International Symposium on Academic Globalization: AG 2009
The 2nd Symposium on Academic Globalization: AG 2009, part of the Academic Globalization Project, is being organized in the context of WMSCI 2009, and its collocated conferences.
The purpose of AG 2009 is to bring together scholars, educators and practitioners with the objective of exploring, reflecting and sharing ideas with regards to the impact that the Globalization Phenomena is having or might have on universities (research, teaching and continuing education), and vice versa: the impact that academia is generating, or could generate on the phenomenon of globalization. Questions such as the following are examples of those that could be addressed at the Symposium in order to generate possible answers and/or reflections, as well as possible research:
Questions like these require multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary and multi-epistemological perspectives, so they can serve as input for integrative research, studies and approaches for a better understanding of what is or what might be the opportunities and threats/uncertainties, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of present trends in Academic Globalization and how this trend might be re-oriented for better and more desirable results.
Non-exclusive topics suggested are the followings:

I've seen like 3 "He proposed!! <3" pictures on Facebook and they all involved high schoolers. Just what?! Why so soon girls? So much is going on with your life and it can be really rocky for relationships! Been together for three years already? Great! Then you can spend the next 2-5 years saving up for the wedding and honeymoon.
And even then, there's still a lot you don't know about yourself at 18. Take it easy kids. Just because you can get married doesn't mean you should…yet.

Waldorf Cobb Salad with Apple-Sorghum Vinaigrette
As I am sitting at my computer typing this post, I am trying to think of as many "e-less" words as possible. (Ok, so "e-less" definitely does not qualify. Neither did that last sentence.)
Anyway, why you ask, do I detest typing "e"? What do I have against the poor little letter?
It's not that I have anything against the letter "e"...
Last time I was at my parents house, my dad had fixed up an old laptop for the hubby and I. Grandma let baby girl touch the keyboard and she ripped off the letter "m". I knew it would be pretty easy to reattach so I didn't worry about it. We left for home and I forgot my letter. So the "new" old laptop was "m-less".
One day at home, I was typing on my laptop and baby girl starting grabbing at the keyboard. She ripped off the letter "e". I tried to put it back, but this time she had ripped off the whole plastic area so the "e" didn't stay on very well. Eventually we just left it off and punched the little rubber thing that remained every time we wanted to type an "e".
In the course of another weekend trip, the rubber mechanism came unstuck and now there is just an empty hole where my "e" used to be. Now I just randomly press inside the area where the "e" should be and hope it works. ...I have an "m" and an "e" sitting beside the laptop as I type... (As a side note, I never reattached the "m" to the other laptop because it got zapped by lightning in the last storm and now we don't have a plug that works for it!)
Anyway, the moral of this story is never let your baby play with your expensive electronics...unless you're trying to convince your hubby that you need a new computer. (Did it work??)
Aaaand, I interrupt this post to bring you one more service announcement. (I promise we'll get to the food soon.)
Congrats to Melodye B. for winning the Blue Apron giveaway! For all the rest of us losers (sorry, Mom!) Blue Apron is offering 30% off your first box delivery by clicking through this link. How's that for a consolation prize! Head on over to Blue Apron now and sign up for 30% off! (I did!)
Finally...on to the food.
Raise your hand if you love apples. I have another apple recipe up my sleeve for you. Well, actually, it's in my belly. You probably wouldn't want to eat it if I put it up my sleeve, although I am sure our daughter put it up her sleeve.
The point of all this is that the salad is delicious, scrumptious, totally tasty! It's easy and makes a delicious dinner. We especially loved the tasty vinaigrette than went along perfectly with this salad. (Ps. Don't be scared away from the ingredient list...it's actually really easy!)
Come back tomorrow to see me featured at the PINcentive blog hop!
Waldorf Cobb Salad with Apple-Sorghum VinaigretteAdapted from: Southern Living magazine
Yield: 2 main dish servings
For the spiced pecans:
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup pecan halves
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
dash of salt and pepper
For the salad:
1 large apple, diced (I used Arkansas Black)
juice of 1/2 lime
1 avocado, chopped
1 bunch green leaf lettuce, chopped
1 cup fresh tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Blue cheese
For the vinaigrette:
1 Tablespoon parsley, chopped
2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons apple juice
1 1/2 large basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoons sorghum (or use molasses)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 green onion, white part only
pinch black pepper
1. For the pecans: Soak pecans in 1/2 cup apple juice for 15 minutes. Drain. Toss with sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and pepper. Place pecans on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted (be careful not to burn them). Cool.
2. For the salad, toss diced apples with juice of 1/4 of a lime. Toss avocado with remaining lime juice.
3. In a large bowl, add green leaf lettuce. Top with apple, avocado, tomatoes, cheeses, and spiced pecans.
4. For the vinaigrette: Pour all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat.
