Kitchen Cure Week #2: De-Clutter and Give Away Kitchen Equipment Plus Special Projects
The Fall 2009 Kitchen Cure
• This Week's Assignment: De-Clutter and Give Away Kitchen Equipment Plus Special Projects
• Cure Clock: Getting the hang of it! 3 weeks more!
• Cure Takers: 2,300 and counting...
Week Two is here. Now that you tackled your ingredients in the fridge and pantry, it's time to pay a little attention to the equipment piled up in your kitchen. Take a long honest look at the stuff you keep in your cupboards and on your counters. From little stuff like flatware to big appliances. Do you really use that George Foreman grill? Do you truly need three strainers? We'll also be talking about picking a special project to complete during the Cure.
Haven't joined yet? Join here. It's easy and free.
Read on for this week's assignments.
First our usual note on participation: Do your best, and pace yourself. Haven't gotten all the way through Week One yet? That's okay. Do your best to march forward. You will have a week to complete each assignment. Each assignment will be given on a Friday so you have the weekend to dive in deep, although they can all be done in short bursts throughout the week so don't panic if you're heading out of town for the weekend or would just prefer to laze about. Also, many assignments can be on-going through the Cure, so if you don't finish one week's work by the following Friday, just keep going. If you haven't finished (or started!) last week's assignment (Week One: Clean Out the Fridge and Pantry), you can combine efforts this week.
Week Two Assignments
1. Take BEFORE and AFTER photos of your kitchen tools: We want to see the scene before you weed things out and then after you've sorted through it all. Show us your counter-tops, cupboards and other places you keep your kitchen tools and equipment. In the "before" shot, DO NOT clean things up for the camera. Submit your photos directly to us and use the "Go For It!" section of the form to write captions for each image. Submitting your photos gives us permission to post them using the name you provide. This will allow us to learn from everyone's projects.
2. De-clutter and purge: Make three categories: stuff you use regularly, stuff you use occasionally, and stuff you never use. It could be as small as a stray corn cob holder or as large as a KitchenAid mixer you got as a wedding gift and just don't use. Think about plastic food storage containers that don't have matching lids. Think about splintered wooden spoons. Get into flatware and plates if you want. There must be things in there you don't need.
• In the case of stuff you use regularly: set it aside. It will be going back in the cupboards, but not before you wipe down all the surfaces.
• In the case of stuff you use occasionally (for me this is my ice cream maker, a grain grinder, knife sharpening stones, muffin tins), consider using spaces in the back of a cabinet. We often are asked how to maximize deep cupboards - here's your chance. Also consider boxing up some of these items - like special occasion dinnerware, seasonal things (margarita glasses? BBQ tools?) - labeled neatly and placed in the rear of deep cabinet or in a high place in the kitchen like above the refrigerator.
• In the case of stuff you never use, consider giving it away or selling it. I meet so many people who keep things in their kitchen that were given as gifts. This is your chance to take a leap, be bold, and get rid of those unused wedding gifts or things your bought because you thought you'd use them but you just don't. List them on on our classifieds, eBay or Craigslist. Believe me, someone wants your yogurt-maker. You don't need three grill pans. Be brave!
• As you go through your collection of kitchen tools, pull out duplicates. I find most people keep way too many pieces of plastic left-overs containers. Often tops and bottoms don't match. We know tongs are everyone's favorite tool, but you really only need one pair. Mixing bowls are another common offender. Small, medium and large is all you really need, right?
3. Clean all surfaces: Take out anything else in the cupboards and on the counter tops and wipe it down with a warm, moist cloth. We encourage you to use earth-friendly products. For cutting through grease, vinegar and water works nicely. Check out this post on cleaning products for the kitchen. Don't go crazy: This is not the deep cleaning portion of the Cure. That will come next week. However, it's important to at least wipe down all surfaces when returning your newly purged arsenal of cooking tools collection to its place.
4. Decide on your special project. This will be a project that you want to do to improve your kitchen aesthetically. I'm going to re-paint the back-splash of our kitchen. Maybe there' sa piece of art you've wanted to have framed. Do it. Many people like to somehow alter their cabinets by switching out the knobs, stripping paint, changing paint color, or removing doors altogether. Maybe you could use some plants and you have a sunny window just waiting for greenery. If you need suggestions, ask your fellow Cure-takers, or submit a photo of your place and ask me what I think.
5. Keep up the good work you did in Week One: Keep the your ingredients in order, pared down and most importantly, used. Did you miss something? Two extra half-used jars of dried oregano in the back of the pantry? Consolidate! Faith's handy download-able Grocery Reminder might help.
6. Stay in touch!: We have an exciting community of about 2,300 people currently signed up for the Kitchen Cure. Smart people. Fun people! And you can meet them all if you get active on our Cure Discussion Board. Also, don't forget to check in every day with the Kitchen Cure Page where all the Cure-related posts live in one neat little package. While assignments are posted once a week on Friday, related posts are going up every day and there is a lot of conversation to be had in those posts comment threads as well.
Reminder about photographs: Submitting your photos to us helps us see how you're doing and answer specific questions you have. If you'd like your progress to be showcased in a post, please take them on the highest quality setting you have on your camera and with as much natural light as possible. Submit your photos directly to The Kitchn. Using the "go for it!" form, make sure to explain what's going on in each image so we can properly caption each photo.

Maybe this will be the year that my husband will finally let the espresso maker go. (He used it all the time in his college dorm--he graduated in 2002--and hasn't used it since!)
I just moved (yet again) so don't have too much random stuff unless you count the boxes in my closet that need to go to goodwill. None the less, I do have so miss-matching plastic containers!
I saw this checklist on Life Hacker today. Maybe you guys would find it useful as well.
you know what I love about this? I can literally do bits and pieces whenever i feel like it. As soon as I got this mail I went to the kitchen and started sorting out stuff. It feels so GOOD. The "assignments" are all very manageable, but have big impact! I like that. My "special project" will be to paint this very ugly dirty wall in my kitchen. I have decided not to do the whole kitchen, just that wall. Probably a nice sunny yellow.
What luck - tomorrow there's a swap meet in my neighborhood where I can just drop off stuff that I don't want or need anymore. I guess I know what I'm doing with my Friday night! Special project: I've got some things I want to hang on the wall over the stove. It is a blank, blah space compared to the rest of the kitchen.
so I gulped a little when I opened the cure email this afternoon. NO!! not my beloved kitchen gadgetry.. but here is where I need to be realistic with myself. at twenty two I have amassed enough kitchen crap to rival that of a forty year old mother of three. Now this was useful when I lived with/near friends and had an oven and a gas range but now that it is simply me ( the cat) two electric burners and a toaster oven it is time to adjust. Now I don't have random things, pretty much everything I have is useful, I try to steer clear of unitaskers as well, but my most of my things are hand me downs from my beloved mother's kitchen (as in, it's good expensive stuff!!) most of the things not commonly used are kept in a big *gasp* plastic bin ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/aubreylane/4010772592/in/set-72157622457408303/) which is hidden in my kitchen because I do think I have a use for most of it, just not the space ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/aubreylane/sets/72157622457408303/ ) ... should I keep what ever I do decide to keep there? box the less commonly used things up and put it in my storage unit for when I have a larger living space? !! help !! also, I know I am going to need to keep some of the things in that bin & that is really the best solution i have (though if others can think of anything pllleeeaaassee share) to hide it's ugliness I have draped a tapestry over the bottom rack but it still shows the sides... if anyone has any suggestions on how I could hide the bin more stylishly I would love to hear.
This means I have to tackle the Closet of Terror. It's this wide and narrow closet with a small door in the middle. Everything (most of the closet) that isn't right in front of the door is a stretch to reach. Lordy knows what's hiding in there. Yikes!
I'm going to need lots of help with my special project. Please?! I have this large island that needs decoration. It's always loaded with junk because it's our landing pad from the side door. I bought a dark wood lazy susan - clueless about what to put on it. I'll upload a photo to the Flickr site tomorrow. So, I'm calling all set decorators and tabletop experts to help me out.
i L.O.V.E squirreling through kitchen cupboards and tossing the old away. it's stress relieving and freeing!
Ok. These before shots are liberating. It's not just me!!! We all have these cluttered corners...somewhere.
My kitchen has lots of space, but we have lots of stuff. This photo shows what was in 2 closets. http://www.flickr.com/photos/43886990@N05/4040313128/in/pool-fallkitchencure
How do I sort this? Should the bakeware go in drawers? Serving dishes together? OR big things together and small things together. Should the bakeware go near the oven? I want my fairy godmother to finish this for more so I can take a nap. :-)
Here's another photo and then I'm going to go back and figure this out all by my grown-up self.
I actually did most of this sorting last week but it will be good to give it another run through! My biggest challenge will be kitchen utensils and figuring out where to keep them. Right now I have an Ikea canister holding them, but when I pull one thing out, they all come flying out.
DesignHole -- I would sort items by how frequently you use them and then place the most used items closest at hand. So if you only bake a few times a year, but use your frying pans everyday, put the bakeware at the back of the cabinet and the pans toward the front. Good luck!!
I spent most of this entire (rainy) day in the kitchen! I have two boxes of items to donate (mixing bowls, about 1000 coffee filters for a machine we no longer have, other things that I have already forgotten about - clearly we don't need them!) and several trash bags (including some food that I overlooked in last week's assignments). Did a huge re-org of the cabinets and now, finally, have all baking things in the same area instead of spread out over several cabinets. I moved the espresso machine, tea kettle, and assorted items (cups, mugs, tea bags, etc) to a new and better organized location. I also got rid of one of the "junk drawers," which feels great!!!
I'm a pack rat, so I have a lot of stuff; but I'm also good at sharing and I like making lists, so I have a list online of all my kitchen items (and a lot of other stuff in my house) that I refer to as my "lending library". Local friends are encouraged to borrow our stuff.
I am so proud of my husband - I think he's catching on to the idea that USABLE space is better than clutter. He actually got rid of his old tavern pizza oven [huge] and a George Foreman Grill last night! I was thrilled (and I didn't even pressure him to do it). Now, he can get to his popcorn bowl which definitely makes him happy. Me too.
Frankly, we only cleaned out one cabinet, but it was cathartic. I never knew I had so many useless items in there. It looks great.

text: [font:Verdana][/font] Hello, This is my first post so I hope it goes well! I had my little girl March 2006 and when I was asked by my doctor later about BC, he asked if I wanted to go back on the pill. I did not want to since I have gained weight on the pill, then a TON of weight (30lbs) on Depro. I did some research and I think that Mirenda is the right BC for me. I had to make an appointment with a different doctor and due to confusion between the two offices, I finally now have an appointment in Feb 2007. Arg. Ok, I am getting to my question soon, really. I hate condoms and I have used the sponge but it makes me itch (sorry for the details) and honestly, there are times when my husband and I just start cuddling and kissing and then.... but getting up to use a sponge and wait 15 min just sucks. So... Can I take the pill for the next couple of months and then get the IUD? For you ladies that have it, were any of you on the pill first? Did you have to stop a few weeks before, or right up until the IUD?? Thanks Dazed and confused in general ~selena~

Still don't get how this works. So, you're sitting at a light and a ricer-mobile want to race you. (Street has been cordoned-off since street racing is BAD!! -, no innocent civilians allowed in the area - no really). You press escape 2x to activate, rev to whatever RPM, pop clutch(?)/let clutch out and launch control flings you ahead like a pro?
it holds the rpm's at the perfect desired rpm
so you floor it, but it stays at 2,500 rpms....then you sidestep the clutch and watch it go
AHA! - the key info - mystery solved - I think. When in launch mode, RPM defaults to 2500 even though it's floored. And you can change launch RPMs in the "SRT exclusive EVIC"
It does say that on the 1st post but I couldn't grasp the concept due to cranial density issues.
Presumably 2500 RPM is the default and you can adjust it down to the optimal 1825 (as posted by someone else).
OK, so now you're happily off the line. The launch control disengages at 1st shift or you have to hit ESC again? Probably don't want to be cruising along at 2500 RPM all day.
Do you have to adjust RPM in the EVIC each time or does it store the previous one.
(Apologies for the TOTAL NOOB questions - I don't have the car yet or I'd try and figure it out)
Thanks in advance (and Merry Christmas)
notice that it wont activate until car has 500 miles on it.

Hear the chickens' crow; listen to the singing birds; feel the cold air and; love the serenity of calmness. This is how I love my mornings (that is, each lucky time I wake up early in the morning ^_^).
They say early bird catches the worm. Those who wake up early are able to accomplish more than those who wakes up late. I am not a morning person; I tend wake up past 8 in the morning (10 am during the past years). I sleep a lot and love to cuddle my pillows in bed. But whenever I wake up before the sun rises, I can feel the difference.
So, what big difference is this? Simple, in my own experience, I am able to think more clearly since my mind and body are able to rest the whole night. I feel good and am able to be more productive throughout the day.
To be more precise, I have listed top 10 benefits of early risers from Forbes.com
1. Earn Better Grades
In a 2008 Texas University study, college students who identified themselves as "morning people" earned a full point higher on their GPAs than those who were "night owls" (3.5 vs. 2.5). Good grades help students secure better career opportunities.
2. More Proactive
Harvard biologist Christoph Randler discovered in 2008 that early risers are more proactive. They were more likely to agree with statements like "I spend time identifying long-range goals for myself" and "I feel in charge of making things happen."
3. Anticipate Problems
Randler's research also revealed that "morning people" are more likely to anticipate problems and minimize them efficiently, which leads to more successful in the business world.
4. Better Planners
Early risers report using their morning quiet time for organization, goal-setting and planning out their days and weeks ahead
5. Time to Exercise
Many successful businesspeople get up early to exercise (before the family is awake and their official work days start). Regular exercise boosts mood and fitness, provides energy on the job and helps create deeper sleep cycles.
6. Get Better Sleep
Sleep experts say that if you go to bed earlier and wake up earlier, your body will be more in tune with the earth's circadian rhythms, which offers more restorative sleep.
7. More Optimistic
Various studies have shown that morning people exhibit character traits like optimism, being agreeable, satisfaction and conscientiousness. Night owls, while linked with creativity and intelligence, are more likely to exhibit traits like depression, pessimism and being neurotic.
8. Easier Commutes
Several early risers report easier, less congested commutes due to leaving earlier than the crowds.
9. A Quiet Hour
Those who arrive at the office before their colleagues say they relish that first hour or two that provide quiet, uninterrupted time to focus.
10. More Family Time
If you've gotten a jump on the day, you'll have more quality time in the evenings to spend with family. Instead of bringing work home, you can relax and unwind.
Now if I am to list my own top benefits, I would say I agree with some points listed above. Here goes mine:
1. Earn Better/ Steady Grades
Thinking way back, I usually wake up early when I have morning classes and to think I didn't really notice if I did have better grades way back (I'm an average so I don't know if it made a difference). LOL yet I know my mind is clearer when I wake up clearly.
2. Anticipate Problems
Since I have a quieter time with myself as I wake up early, I am at peace with myself and the environment. I can easily anticipate the things going on around me and recognize possible problems and issues that may occur throughout the day.
3. Better Planner
Mornings is the time where almost all people at home are still asleep, giving me time to come up with a better plan. This is the time where I can organize my thoughts and is in a calm state.
4. Exercise
This is my perfect time to exercise. My little angel is still asleep so no one can bother me for my "me" time.
5. Easier Commutes
It's a smooth ride whenever I wake up and travel early. I get to stay away from the rush hour where all people panic. The road has less traffic and people can sing along their way as they head for work or school.
6. More Optimistic
The peaceful environment gives me the positive feeling. A good start is a perfect start, why not start the days feeling refreshed and relaxed?
Basically, that's all I can think of. Still, I fathom my mind and body feels good. I've been a night owl before and frequently wake up at 10 in the morning. It feels good to be awake during the night but I feel a lot better when I rise from bed early in the morning. It seemed that I can accomplish a lot of things rather than being a night owl.
Here are few of the reasons why I started changing my ways from being a night owl to an early bird:
1. I tend to become sluggish as the day starts
2. My day starts late and ends late
3. I don't get enough sleep and still feels so sleepy even if I had 8 hours of sleep or even more
4. My body feels it needs massage every other day.
5. My accomplishments were getting smaller and smaller each day I wake up late.
I guess I have forgotten the rest of the reasons why I switched from being a night owl to becoming a morning person. I must admit I still don't wake up before the sun rises but good enough I wake up before 8 am. ^_^ It's an improvement.

Dealing with the basic rearend first, there are several choices in aftermarket IRS upgrades. Conversions are available to install a Ford 8.8-inch, a Ford 9-inch, or a Dana 60 9¾-inch centersection. Brandes chose Dynatrac's Pro60-IRS Dana 60-based conversion. The Dana has the strongest ring-and-pinion, it fits easier within the Challenger's existing envelope (the Ford 9-inch, Brandes says, requires redoing the whole rearend frame-cradle), and "it keeps the heritage," as many old-school Mopar muscle cars and even some Jeeps and Dodge trucks today utilize the beefy Dana.
The Pro60 includes Dana 3.54:1 gears, a rugged Eaton Detroit Truetrac limited-slip diff, RCV 35-spline halfshafts and CV joints, and wheel bearings. Dynatrac optionally offers just about any traction aid, including a spool, Detroit Locker, or ARB Air-Locker, but Brandes considers the torque-biasing, helical-gear Truetrac "the best diff for this application because it's strong yet not unduly harsh."
You can normally buy the rearend housing fully assembled through Dynatrac—along with the necessary external halfshafts, hubs, CV joints, and brackets. The parts were donated for the Rescue in this instance, so Brandes got the diff directly from Eaton (PN 915A387 for 35-spline axles and 4.10:1-and-numerically-lower gear ratios, $649.97 if purchased separately through Summit Racing). Meanwhile, RCV reworked and rebuilt the Challenger's existing halfshafts and CV joints. Everything else—including the bare Dana 60 centersection along with other unassembled internal parts such as the ring-and-pinion, bearings, and stub axleshafts—came from Dynatrac.
Getting the center-housing assembly to fit the existing cradle required some clearancing mods, as shown in the photos. Accommodating the longer and wider Pro60-IRS housing also mandates a shorter main driveshaft and shorter halfshafts.
Stiffening up the rear suspension is one possible solution to fighting high-speed oscillation, but the SRT8 already comes stock with urethane bushings and heavy-duty springs. Brandes ultimately decided that the most expedient fix was to increase the tire contact patch on the heavily lowered car. A stock SRT8 Challenger already sits 1-inch lower than other stock Challengers, but as-received,Williams' car had been lowered another 2 inches beyond even a factory SRT8. The extreme lowering caused the IRS to have negative camber—the tire tops leaned in toward each other, canting the tires at an angle and reducing their contact patch. Brandes realigned the IRS to yield as close to zero camber as possible within the constraints of the car's super-low ride height (see chart). The shocks were also adjusted to a firmer setting.
The new rear-gear ratio required recalibrating the ECU and electronic speedometer. The car's original tune also caused some minor driveability problems. Killing two birds with one stone, Brandes recalibrated the entire computer from scratch using a DiabloSport inTune handheld tuner licensed to the car.
Originally designed for big trucks, the robust Dana 60 is much stronger than the factory rearend. With the rest of the IRS beefed to the extent possible within the confines of the basic suspension design and clearance envelope, the alignment improved, and the shocks properly adjusted, the IRS is currently still kicking several months down the road. Keep your fingers crossed—Williams still hasn't hit the NOS button.
The entire driveline must be able to handle the stresses placed upon it. Just because the tires seem to be spinning—not planting—doesn't mean a marginal rearend design will live, especially on a vehicle with double the factory horsepower.
Rear Alignment
All values in degrees.
Parts and Prices

Excellent Roomy Home / Great Weekend!
We held a family reunion at this home the first weekend in September and it was outstanding! It was clean, well maintained, and comfortably accommodated the 30 guests. Plenty of seating at kitchen table and 2 picnic benches on huge deck. Great lake and mountain views from the home. With theater room, game room, great room, large deck, fire pit, and canoe there was plenty of space for everyone to be entertained. Would definitely come back again in the future!
Black Bear Lodge
Our family of eight adults, and seven children under 8 years old (two newborns) had a fabulous week at the Black Bear Lodge. Robert was so easy to work with. He even texted us to let us know there would be fireworks going off one evening. The property was all he said it would be. The location was absolutely perfect for the varied interests of all of us. The children loved jumping on the trampoline,riding their bikes on the quiet road, swimming in the lake , and especially using the peddle boat. The adults took advantage of the beautiful mountain setting for riding bikes, running, and hiking. There was so much to do within a short ride. Our favorite adventures were hiking up Kaaterskill Falls, dining in Woodstock, exploring Howe Caverns, mini golf, and swimming at North-South Lake. The fire pit gave us a great place to toast marshmallows while we talked about our days. I would recommend this property to anyone who needs a property that accommodates a large family for their fun vacation.
Great getaway
I spent a long weekend here with freinds and family, and everyone was sad to go. They property was great. everything is new and done with excellent worksmanship. Bathrooms are wonderful. Commerical kitchen is great for any one that loves to cook. I will be back!!

" "HP Pavilion dm3-1060sa Entertainment - C SU2300 / 1.2 GHz - Centrino 2 - RAM 4 GB - HDD 320 GB - DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM - GMA 4500MHD - WLAN : Bluetooth, 802.11a/g/n - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - 13.3"" Widescreen TFT 1366 x 768 ( WXGA ) BrightView - camera - brushed aluminum" "
I have owned this laptop for just over a year now and I wish I had chosen a different laptop to purchase for my first year at university. Because it is small and compact an USB external cd/DVD rom drive is needed for any entertainment use and as it is advertised and named HP Pavillion entertainment it just seems like a lot of hassle to enjoy this entertainment. Having a laptop I would expect it to be very portable, however with this external drive it means it is very awkward to use unless you are sitting at a desk or some sort of hard surface.
Furthermore I would have thought with a 4GB Ram the speed of the laptop would have been faster than it is, it often takes a while for programmes to load, especially if more than two programmes are already open and this was not something I expected with such a decent ram size.
The battery life of the laptop is reasonable at best even with the low power saving settings on lasting around an hour.
Personally I would not buy this HP laptop again.
The mobility you want, at a price you can afford. Go up to seven hours unplugged without giving up performance or style. The thin, lightweight HP Pavilion dm3 notebook PC is packed with power inside a bold aluminum chassis.

Would you translate (or spread) a TED talk if you didn't agree with it's topic or the speaker's point of view?
I think, I've said it all in the title.
Would you translate a TED talk even if you did not agree with it? Do you think that people will feel you agree if they see your name written next to it?
Would you be willing to spread ideas, even if you did not agree with them?

Filip NMay 7 2012: I would say that as individuals, we do not have much power to say that one idea is universally wrong. All we can do i agree, partially agree or not agree. I couldn't picture myself translating or spreading the idea i do not fancy. Partially because i am bad at translating, but majorly because it would be a misleading sign that i share the same thought. It could be done only if I was to wright a comment with it describing my opinion.

Most items on the AH (Armor/Weapons, Glyphs, Enchants, etc.) are all luxuries. They are things your class doesn't necessarily 'need' to play your class. You are able to obtain your base gear via quests/dungeons. Gems, Glyphs, and Enchants are all bonuses to your base level abilities/gear but do not disrupt your gameplay if they aren't present.
We can argue that prices on certain things aren't justified but at the end of the day all of these thing aren't hard requirements to play the game. Many real-world luxuries get high markup due to their brand or demographics, in WoW the same applies. If certain skills/attributes feel more relevant to players or certain class populations are larger within the game demographics, the prices for their class/skills will reflect that.
At this point you can't really set a price too high unless you really go nuts, it'll still only work if the demand is there. The problem I see with the zergish undercutting is that it goes too far and the most of the auctioneers lose respect for the item. If you undercut simply to be the lowest price it'll never end and you'll end up supplying those on the top end with really cheap items.
Create a certain item standard for yourself and try not to break it. If a certain market shifts a lot in a new direction, create and maintain a new standard in a way that works for you. If you don't have a bit of patience you'll just keep burning your assets and end up getting little in return. Deposits are just the cost of doing business.

Using Apple Butter in the Kitchen: 10 Recipes
A kitchen in the fall conjures up memories of apples and warm spices, pumpkin and squashes. Many folks make their own apple butter at home, but there are actually great store-bought varieties available in most supermarkets around the country.
So we thought instead of focusing on how to make apple butter today, we'd think about ways to use it in the kitchen. Sure, there's nothing better than slathering a dollop of apple butter onto warm toast or biscuits in the morning, but it can actually be an integral ingredient in fall cooking and baking. Here are a few recipes we're excited to try:
• Brown Sugar and Bourbon Ribs - Epicurious
• Sweet and Spicy Chicken Thighs - A Southern Fairtytale
• Mini Vegetable Casserole Topped with a Duck Egg and Apple Butter - Food Network
• Ham, Cheddar, and Apple Butter Sandwiches - Epicurious
• Apple Butter Glazed Ham - BC Living
• Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie - Food Network
• Apple Butter Spice Cake - Eating Well
• Apple Butter Ice Cream with Ginger Chocolate Ganache - Food and Wine
• Apple Butter Bars - Sidehill Farms
• Apple-Butter-Filled Gingerbread Cookies - Los Angeles Times

I love the idea of using it as a marinade, especially mixed with some heat from the chipolte peppers.
These are great ideas. I have a couple of jars in my pantry and I never know what to do with them. Thanks!
The open-faced ham sandwiches from Bon Appetit are delicious--I make them every fall along with the onion soup that was featured in the same issue with them.
One of my favorite ways to use apple butter is as the filling for cinnamon rolls. Instead of melted butter, mix a little extra cinnamon into the apple butter and spread that over your rolled out dough. Add some chopped nuts (if you want), and then roll it up, cut and bake as usual (although they might need a few extra minutes in the oven). Delicious!

Some good news on the healthcare front. Despite the continuing GOP hysteria, it looks like the sky is not falling.
July 14, 2013
Hunger Games, U.S.A. - New York Times
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Something terrible has happened to the soul of the Republican Party. We've gone beyond bad economic doctrine. We've even gone beyond selfishness and special interests. At this point we're talking about a state of mind that takes positive glee in inflicting further suffering on the already miserable.
The occasion for these observations is, as you may have guessed, the monstrous farm bill the House passed last week.
For decades, farm bills have had two major pieces. One piece offers subsidies to farmers; the other offers nutritional aid to Americans in distress, mainly in the form of food stamps (these days officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP).
Cutting off your nose to spite your face:
And why would they do this? They won't save money. On the contrary, they will hurt their own budgets and damage their own economies. Nor will Medicaid rejectionism serve any clear political purpose. No, the only way to understand the refusal to expand Medicaid is as an act of sheer spite. And the cost of that spite won't just come in the form of lost dollars; it will also come in the form of gratuitous hardship for some of our most vulnerable citizens.
There really isn't any sensible reason to do this. It's apparent that nobody did a cost/benefit analysis of rejecting expansion, it was just a knee-jerk reaction. And we will all pay the price for that poor leadership:
Over the weeks ahead, President Obama will be taking his case to the people for raising tax rates on the rich. Ongoing negotiations with Speaker Boehner will be an epic game of chicken. If Obama blinks, he will own the next economic recession.
More below the fold.
Lying in politics is not new. The great extent of lying we are seeing in 2012 is.
From Paul Krugman's blog, the Conscience of a Liberal today.
Krugman's comments about the role of the national media in its refusal to confront liars like Paul Ryan are on target. Some of the journalists are clueless or embarrassed by missing this aspect of Ryan's character over his many years in Washington.
On the other hand, today's Sunday morning press shows talked about the pervasiveness of lying, and CBS News had an Obama staffer who addressed Ryan's speech:
See CBS' Fact-checking 6 claims in Paul Ryan's convention speech to the RNC.
The ignorance among many North Carolinians about corporate influence in politics is surpassed only by the ignorance about economics, with Republican policy makers among the most deluded. Blinded by fantasies of American exceptionalism, GOTP lawmakers craft policies to cure problems that don't exist, while ignorance the elephants in our collective living room.
One of their most destructive fantasies is the level playing field.
Americans are much more likely than citizens of other nations to believe that they live in a meritocracy. But this self-image is a fantasy: as a report in The Times last week pointed out, America actually stands out as the advanced country in which it matters most who your parents were, the country in which those born on one of society's lower rungs have the least chance of climbing to the top or even to the middle.

Paul Krugman writes today in his NY Times blog that we appear to be heading into a Japan-like lost decade.
I used to think that business leaders aligned themselves with the Republican Party because they thought conservative lawmakers would help them make more money. After all, making money is the only reason businesses exist in the first place, so why not invest in a political machine that helps achieve that prime directive. But a funny thing happened on the way to the bank: the tables got turned.
It's one thing to have personal beliefs, but it's another thing entirely to use those personal beliefs as a foundation for public policy. The conservative beliefs of Blue Dogs when it comes to deficit spending, for example, are grounded in conventional wisdom which doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Paul Krugman lays it out. Conservative representatives like Kissell and Shuler would do well to embrace fact-based decision-making, and stop relying on Republican mythology to defend their votes.
Whenever my feed reader serves up national coverage about North Carolina, it's rarely good news. Today's column in the New York Times by Paul Krugman is no exception. Blue Double Cross.
On Monday, just a week after the White House photo-op, The Washington Post reported that Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina was preparing to run a series of ads attacking the public option.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
Now who could take you off to tiny life
In one room or in two rooms or in three
And cork you smartly, like the flask of wine
You are? Not any woman. Not a wife.
You'd let her twirl you, give her a good glee
Showing your leaping ruby to a friend.
Though twirling would be meek. Since not a cork
Could you allow, for being made so free.
A woman would be wise to think it well
If once a week you only rang the bell.

First, know that I just adore you both. I think you're cute and brilliant and incredibly damn funny. You're also fun to hang out with, and you have a great group of friends. I've thoroughly enjoyed our nightly rendezvous from 11pm to 12am.
But they're really messing with my morning plans. Specifically, my weekday morning workout plans. I'm just not as young as I used to be, and I need my sleep. It's nearly impossible for me to stay up until midnight every night and get up by 5:30am to be at 6am spin class (as is evident from my absence from spin class the past few months). This just won't do any more--you see, I have a half Ironman to train for. It's only 18 weeks away. I need those morning hours.
Which means, as painful as this is to say: I'm breaking up with you, Jon Stewart. And yes, I'm breaking up with you, too, Stephen Colbert. It's not you, it's me. I need to be selfish and put myself first. I'm sure your ratings will be fine without me. And don't worry, I'll see you around in occasional reruns and maybe even online.
Take care of yourselves!
I'm training for a half marathon on Feb 22. I'm running another one two weeks later. Training has been going REALLY well. I ran my 10M long run Sunday at a 10:30 pace. For perspective, last May I ran a 10K in 10:30s.
So I'm much faster now than I was last May. I also weigh at least 15 pounds more than I did last May. I'm trying to decide if I care. If I can run this much faster at this weight, and just not obsess about what I'm eating or drinking, do I care?
Yes, I want to be pretty and thin, blah blah. But at this point, I think maybe just losing 5 or 10 pounds, getting back to a comfortable size 12, would be fine with me. Size 8 seems--not impossible, but not fun. If I can run 30 miles a week at this weight and keep getting faster, isn't that enough? I'm healthy, I'm pretty happy, and I'm doing more than a lot of people who are pretty and skinny can do. I regularly beat little skinny girls in races. Do I need to prove I'm better than them by looking like them?
I don't really know what I'm trying to say any more, I'm just struggling with the fact that I feel pretty great and I'm running well but the scale is up in the 190s. If I can't have it all, am I OK with having this?
I'm not big on resolutions, so I'm just writing down some goals for 2009.
1. Finish three half marathons, including one under 2:15.
2. Finish a half Ironman, preferably under 7 hours but I'll take what I can get.
3. Run a sub-27-minute 5K.
4. Complete a century ride.
5. Lose 20 pounds, putting me around 170. Do NOT gain it back!
6. Get a grip on my finances. Stop spending so much money. Start putting money into my IRA until I can get the new 401K going again. Save a down payment for a house.
Let the fun begin.
It all sounded so delicious.
"We�ve combined Starbucks espresso with our premium European-style cocoa blend used in our Signature Hot Chocolate and steamed milk, and topped it with whipped cream and a touch of chocolate powder. This sophisticated beverage delivers rich chocolate flavor with a velvety mouthfeel balanced with a smooth coffee flavor."
Yet it all went so, so wrong... Do NOT order this drink. This oh-so-delicious, oh-so-chocolatey, and oh-so-loaded with sweet, sweet caffeine drink. It's called the espresso truffle. I treated myself to one after my Thanksgiving Day race. I don't feel bad about that. I didn't track that day because, well, I was lazy and it was a holiday.
Today I went on a Starbucks run with a colleague and instead of my usual venti Awake black tea with two tea bags (0 calories), I caved in to the chocolate demon and ordered the espresso truffle. With no whipped cream, so I thought I was being "good." Ha!
I just took a moment to track it. Since it's a seasonal signature drink, I had to look it up on the Starbucks website. 510 calories! Curses! I need to sit my butt on the trainer for at LEAST and extra half hour tonight.
Sigh. Farewell, espresso truffle.
Tracking: Slacked. Tracked two days. It was Restaurant Week and I ate out a lot. I know, I know. Back in the saddle today.
Alcohol: Ha. Ha. Ha. Um, it was Restaurant Week... 4 days. Sigh.
Spin class 2x: Only once
Weights 2x: Done
Swim 2x: Done
Still feeling good about getting back on track workout-wise. It was a rough week food-wise, BUT even while eating out I tried to be as good as possible--ate vegetarian options twice, etc. That doesn't make up for the extra desserts this week. But I managed to somehow magically lose a pound! 1 down, 9 to go in this 10 pounds by Christmas challenge.

What Do You Do With Half-Dirty Clothes?posted by Andrea | 06/20/2012
Recently, I've received quite a few questions about what I do with half-dirty clothes – you know, the shirt you wear for part of the day and although it isn't really "dirty", it's also not clean enough to put back in the closet.
I chuckle to myself whenever I read these emails and questions because this has been a topic Dave and I have debated ever since we were married
My theory has always been, if it's dirty, it goes in the wash. If it's not dirty, I'll simply wear it again the next day or put it back in my closet. If I don't feel good about putting it back in the closet {or wearing it again} then I know it's probably dirty enough for the hamper.
Dave, on the other hand, has an elaborate system that involves several piles and an entire shelf in our closet devoted to stacks of "half dirty clothes". Every time I do the laundry, I ask him if any of his half-dirty clothes need to be washed. He almost always responds, "not yet".
However, sometimes his half-dirty piles and stacks get out of control — at which point I dump everything into the wash even though he insists the items don't need to be washed. I'm not a huge fan of his half-dirty piles, but I suppose it reduces the amount of laundry I have to do each week!
So today, I'd love to know…
What do you do with your half-dirty clothes?
Are you like me and simply toss them in the wash?
Are you like Dave and stockpile them in one convenient location for a later date?
Do you hang them in the front of your closet or face the hanger the opposite direction?
Do you drape them over the laundry hamper instead of puting the items all the way inside?
Or maybe you think this is a crazy question that you've never thought about before!

I just wear the same clothes again until they actually do get dirty, which doesn't take long since I have 2 kids 3 and under! I'll just drape them across the top of the hamper or over a ledge in my bathroom to remind myself that those are the clothes I'm wearing tomorrow.
As for my husband, I usually end up putting his clothes away since he leaves them in a heap by his dresser all. the. time. Then I use the smell/sight test to determine if it goes in the hamper or not. If it's clean enough, it goes back in the drawer or closet. If it really was dirty, that's his problem.

So glad I'm not the only one with those routines.
I have a preference for fresh, clean clothes, but I usually wear them again if I didn't do anything strenuous enough to sweat and especially if they've been worn for a short time. I put a shirt/dress/skirt on a hanger separate from the other clothes and wear them the next day or a few days after. Jeans or pants are always worn at least 2 days before washing if they aren't dirty. It saves water and detergent and helps my clothes to last longer, and helps control the amount of laundry. With the kids' clothes, they almost exclusively go in the washer because they get genuinely dirty, unless a shirt was worn for 10 minutes then taken off to change into play clothes or because they changed their mind about what they wanted to wear My husband's clothes are always washed after first wear except for pants, which he lays on the floor (irritating) to be worn the next day then tosses in the hamper (sometimes). Ha!
Really? Since I am a widow, and live alone…kids are all grown and on their own, dealing with the dirty clothes on the floor, hahaha! So, I rehang in a seperate closet if 1/2 dirty. (interesting term). I am also a chronic asthmatic, so my husbands clothes never did hang in my closet, you know, one never knows where he has been (climbing around on his buddy's 54 Chevy). I would never think of sharing my closet with another human being. Well, that's my take on the whole subject…keep your clothes clean and neat and tidy.
I have an over the door hanger, well . .2 of them with 5 notches for hanger that keeps clothes from touching and one long hook. I use one on the back of our bedroom door for 5 shirts for my husband for the week, the other is on the back of the closet door, where we hang clothes worn, but not work enough to go in the wash. They are really handy hangers and only about $3 a pop!
I sometimes wear an outfit for the hour or two it takes for me to go to church or teach Sunday school. Because I can pretty much save it for the next day at work, I'll change immediately and hang it back up. If I feel the need to freshen it up, maybe I'll put it out on the clothesline for awhile or in the dryer on no heat/fluff with a halved dryer sheet.
I use white hangers for my clean clothes and tan hangers for the '1/2 dirty' ones and just hang them back in my closet. Each of my kids has their own 'clothes hooks' at their level for their pajamas and clothes that can be reworn again. I usually just wash anything left hanging on their hooks on my weekly laundry day.
Ellenor's Mama02/18/2014
This only seems to impact me on Sundays, but I generally leave my Sunday church clothes laying … well anywhere ….. to be reworn on Monday.

|Lidge loses closer's job for Astros
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 09 April 2007 10:28
Brad Lidge was demoted Monday in favor of Dan Wheeler, a move made one day after Lidge gave up five runs in two-third of an inning against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Lidge has saved 29 or more games in each of the last three seasons for Houston but had a 16.20 ERA and a blown save entering Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The Astros started the season with five losses in six games.
``I wrestled with this all of yesterday,'' manager Phil Garner said. ``I feel that I have to make this move for the benefit of the team. In the situation that we are in right now, we can't afford to lose any more ballgames late.''
Lidge was 1-5 with a 5.28 ERA and 32 saves in 38 chances last year.
``It was surprising, but not totally unjustified,'' he said. ``I understand that it's about results. Right now, my first two outings haven't been there.''
Lidge will be used in middle relief, and Garner left open the possibility Lidge could regain his job as closer.
``I don't know how much time this will take,'' Garner said. ``It may be that he throws three or four times and gets thrust back into the closing role.''
Wheeler is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in three games.

Caledonia is located at 42°22′04″N 88°53′33″W / 42.36778°N 88.89250°W (42.367850, -88.892538).[1]
According to the 2010 census, the village has a total area of 1.01 square miles (2.6 km2), all land.[2]
As of the census[3] of 2000, there were 199 people, 71 households, and 54 families residing in the village. The population density was 373.0 people per square mile (145.0/km²). There were 75 housing units at an average density of 140.6 per square mile (54.6/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 99.8% White. However, population statistics only represent the village, not the surrounding neighborhoods, which include Aberdeen, Aberdeen Knoll and Inverness. With these communities added, Caledonia forms one of the wealthiest communities in Illinois.
There were 71 households out of which 45.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 67.6% were married couples living together, 8.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.9% were non-families. 18.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 11.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

|This section requires expansion. (February 2008)
Caledonia was originally called Caledonia Junction. Caledonia was also the name of another town, located in southern Illinois, which was the first county seat of Pulaski County, Illinois from 1843 to 1861.[4]
Caledonia was struck by an EF-2 tornado on November 22, 2010; several homes were destroyed and a grain bin collapsed, but no serious injuries occurred.[5]
Future development[edit]
Caledonia lags behind Poplar Grove in the size of its tax base. Caledonia is approximately 3 miles east of the new State Highway 173 interchange on Interstate 90, which will position Caledonia to grow its tax base and benefit from increased revenue.

It is common to have a new floater in the eye after this surgery.
Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is not used to prevent clouding of the back lining of the lens capsule (posterior capsule opacification). There is no way to know who will get clouding in the back of the eye after cataract surgery. Certain lenses used in the surgery to remove the cataract may lower this risk and the need for laser surgery later.
As with cataract surgery, it is important to weigh the risks and possible benefits of laser capsulotomy before deciding to have the surgery. About 1 out of 50 people who have laser capsulotomy after cataract surgery develop retinal detachment, which can cause serious vision loss.

McMENEMY'S TRIBUTE TO HIS FRIEND
Close friend and former manager Lawrie McMenemy has paid tribute to Alan Ball, who passed away in the night from a heart attack at the age of 61.
"He was the best one touch player I ever saw. We used to do some one touch in training and he would look up at me with those cheeky eyes and say 'half a touch will do for me'.
"When he started as a young player he got into the England team very early and he would call himself a scrapper. It was him and Nobby Stiles in there as the workers. But he developed from being that scrapper to one of the best, most delicate footballers with great vision.
"He was the main reason we got promoted in Southampton and I brought him in to do exactly that. Sometimes he would be sitting in the dressing room saying he didn't have it in him but the minute his feet touched the grass he lit up. He was like a performer on a stage and he was brilliant for any manager to have.
"He was the best player any player would ever play with. He was also one of the best family men you will ever come across. He was a lovely man and I personally cannot get over it."

By Al Campbell, Quantico Sentry
| Marine Corps Embassy Security Group | December 20, 2012
QUANTICO, VA. — When classmates of Bobby Murphy, an eighth grade student at Richard Teitelman School, Erma, gather to ask, "What did you do this summer?" imagine their expressions when he responds, "Sat at the controls of Marine One, (the president's helicopter), drilled with OCS Marine Corps Drill Instructors at Marine Corps Base Quantico, rode in a river craft, and experienced being a U.S. Marine for two days."
After their jaws drop in amazement, it's likely Murphy, 13, son of Larry and Lisa Murphy of Villas, will probably mention he met a three-star general, wore combat gear, helmet, bullet-proof vest, and did some time "on the ropes" as part of the obstacle course Marine officers encounter as they undergo 12 weeks of gut-wrenching (and busting) training, (as in Marine-style pushups to an instructor's count as he led them).
More mind-boggling still is that Murphy underwent that rigorous Marine Corps experience as part of his "Make a Wish" dream.
Just over a year ago, Murphy spent five weeks at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where he underwent treatment for Severe Aplastic Anemia, a bone marrow disease. Determined to get well from the day of admission until the hour of release to return to his Villas home, Murphy was focused.
When the family was approached by hospital staff about a Make A Wish they were stunned; they always thought wishes were for youngsters that were terminally ill, which caused some panic. When explained that it was for youngsters who had life-threatening illnesses it truly put things into perspective about what every member of the Murphy family was facing.
The illness affected not only Bobby but the entire family. The dream he chose filled the family with pride for him and his country, and will hopefully help him on his quest to some day become a United States Marine.
Bobby's younger brother, Jack, 9, was right alongside him, literally and figuratively all the way through his battle with aplastic anemia. The Murphy brothers stood tall as they could, side-by-side on the asphalt "grinder" and they marched together. Tagging along was youngest brother Sean, to the cadence growled, and sometimes shouted in the face, by veteran leatherneck drill instructors.
Through all the shouts and rapid-fire orders barked at him, Bobby maintained a contented smile.
It was Jack's bone marrow donation to his brother that aided in Bobby's recovery. Because of that bond, it was only fitting the two should share the agony and the ecstasy of those days living the life of a Marine.
Possibly some of that boyhood desire to one day wear that revered eagle, globe and anchor pin, the emblem of a Marine, grew from his father's service with "the Corps." The elder Murphy was a sergeant in the Marine Corps during Operation Desert Storm. He is a member of the Leathernecks Motorcycle Club and many local veterans' organizations, Mom, Lisa, is a graphic artist with the Herald.
Bobby's "Make A Wish" dream was pulled together by a great and hard-working team of members from the Make A Wish offices in New Jersey and Virginia, as well as from an awesome staff of Marines and civilians at MCB Quantico.
It took months of planning and coordination but from the first day, it was amazing. When the Murphy family arrived in Quantico, a roomful of gifts awaited them. Bobby was issued a full Marine uniform from head to toe, which he wore during his two-day training.
Training began on Tue., Aug. 21, bright and early at "oh-700" (or 7 a.m. for civilians). They were greeted by a Marine Corps police officer to escort the family to the office of Lt. Gen. Richard P. Mills, a senior U.S. Marine Corps officer, currently Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration and Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development Command in Quantico.
When the family arrived, his full staff and Mills' wife greeted them.
Lt. Gen. Mills sat with the family and welcomed them. He was very excited to help fulfill Bobby's dream. During the visit, Mills promoted Bobby to a "corporal" for his two days and presented him with a challenge coin.
Next stop was Officer Candidate School to meet with the drill instructors.
It was a full-on, crash course in what a Marine experiences including 25 minutes of learning how to walk, talk and march as a Marine. Four drill instructors surrounded the three Murphy brothers and gave them full and undivided attention.
What an experience was that half hour for the boys. In minutes, they had to absorb how to follow orders, not turn until the execution order was given, and not to "tap dance" but to smartly turn when so ordered. "Do you understand?" "Yes, sir!" "I didn't hear you." "YES, SIR!" Amid the commands, Bobby grinned with assurance and self-confidence.
Following what was an ear-shattering morning, the Murphys got to ride in a Marine Corps rescue/dive boats with Master Sgt. Bret Davis. Bobby even got to steer the speeding boat.
Next came a visit to see and experience the President's helicopter, Marine One, so designated when the commander-in-chief is aboard.
Bobby and his brothers walked in, wide mouthed, at the sight of Marine One, they got to tour the hangar and the helicopter, and even got to sit in the President's seat. Following that, they got to fire real weapons in simulators, were able to run a full physical training course, learned and experienced the Marine Corps martial arts program to learn unarmed combat. They even enjoyed (yes, enjoyed) an official MRE (meals ready to eat) lunch. The day ended with a tour at The Marine Corps Museum.
Day 2 was just as full. It began with Bobby leading Physical Training (PT) with members of the Marine Corps Embassy Security Group. Next came a demonstration by a USMC K-9 unit, rides on Hummers, and many of the vehicles used by Marines serving throughout the world.
All in the mess hall enjoyed another great lunch, and then it was off to "fly" Marine One in a simulator used to train helicopter pilots.
The day was almost over when the family visited the Marine Corps Reserve Unit and did simulator training in Humvees while driving through "foreign" countries and training with Marines.
Last stop was joining the Quantico Fire and Emergency Services on a fire truck ride to do "collapsed building training" with Embassy Marines. That concluded Bobby's two-day training as a Marine.
That was the last stop for Quantico, but not the last event planned by Make A Wish Virginia.
The staff and members of Marine Corps Base Quantico was welcoming and made the family feel as if they were one of their own, according to Lisa.
Day 3 of Bobby's dream was a visit to the Richmond office of the FBI. He met a special agent, had a tour of the offices and was given an explanation of what that office handles.
Bobby met the Forensics team and learned about bomb response, Internet crimes, basic forensics such as fingerprinting and the FBI SWAT team.
Day 4 was a trip to King's Dominion and ended with a special invitation to attend the Marine Corps Friday Evening Parade in Washington, D.C. at Marine Base Washington at Eighth and I, the oldest active post which supports both ceremonial and security missions in the nation's capital. It is home to every Marine Corps commandant.
Bobby's wish was the first of its kind for Marine Corps Base Quantico. The Murphys were told the base has had other families visit, but were never asked to train like a Marine.
"The Marines heard about that, and they jumped at the chance to show who they were and what they do and gave the whole Murphy family a new view of what our country's Marines do on a daily basis. It truly opened our eyes and was amazingly overwhelming," Lisa concluded

Doubles: Sveta, Alicia Out
Published March 24, 2010 12:00
MIAMI, FL, USA - The first doubles match of the 2010 Sony Ericsson Open was played Wednesday and it featured an intriguing match-up of veterans.
Check out the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour doubles rankings right here!
Unseeded but dangerous Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta, who have three Sony Ericsson WTA Tour titles as a duo, took on wildcards Svetlana Kuznetsova and Alicia Molik. Kuznetsova and Molik won this event the only other time they played in it together in 2005, the same year they also won the Australian Open. Kuznetsova, the top seed here in singles, won again last year alongside Amélie Mauresmo.
There will be no repeat title for the Russian, though, as Dulko and Pennetta lost only two games the rest of the way after falling behind, 3-1, in the opening set en route to a 64 61 victory. The road does not get any easier for Dulko and Pennetta, as they next play the winner of Thursday's clash between No.2 seeds Nuria Llagostera Vives and María José Martínez Sánchez and Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka, who have won four career Tour titles together.
See how the Miami doubles draw is shaping up right here!
Other teams of note in action Thursday are third-seeded Nadia Petrova and Samantha Stosur, fifth-seeded Alisa Kleybanova and Francesca Schiavone and wildcards Kim Clijsters and Kirsten Flipkens.

Gorgeous today! Absolutely gorgeous. Guess what?
It's going to stay that way tomorrow too. Tonight's low lands at 40°, but
will jump right back into the 60s tomorrow under partly cloudy skies.
Thursday's going to be warm, too. However, we're going to
see a 50% chance for rain in the area. Can't rule out a few t'storms
either especially in our southern counties.
I've got no freezing temps in the 7 day forecast. None!

Mahabaleshwar - Place To See Around| May 21, 2012
The Krishnabai Temple: This temple was built during the Yadava rule by Raja Singham in the 13th Century AD. It was renovated and improved by the Mores of Jaoli. Shivaji and his mother Jijabai are believed to have visited Mahabaleshwar to seek spiritual advice from a learned Brahmin living there. The temple sports a stone-carved Gomukha (the head of a sacred cow) through which it is believed, water from five rivers-Krishna, Venna, Koyana, Savitri and Gayatri, flows out. This temple is therefore known as Panchganga Temple (or the temple of five rivers). The adjoining Ram Temple has gorgeous idols of Ram, Laxman and Seeta and another Hanuman Temple which was founded by Saint Ramdas Swami, the revered spiritual teacher who was a contemporary of Shivaji.
Pratapgad Fort: A winding, sharp mountain road leads to Pratapgad from Mahabaleshwar on the Poladpur side, built by Chhatrapati Shivaji in 1656. History was created at this fort when Shivaji met with Afzal Khan, the Sardar of Bijapur. He was killed and his mighty army routed by the Marathas. The fort holds a stunning view of coastal Konkan. One can see the Raigadh fort from here. The Bhavani Temple and Afzal Khan's Tomb are other places of interest.
Panchgani: Tucked away in Satara district, just 19 kms east of Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani is also amongst the most frequented hill resorts. The berry farms here are another tourist attraction.

3Rivers Archery is pleased to offer the Barta Bow.
Facts talk with a loud, clear voice. Firstly, I would like to congratulate the custom Bowyers of America; what incredible quality, workmanship and sheer beauty today's traditional archers have available. Today these custom bows are true works of art and they shoot great also. What a joy it is to own them. The problem is, however, in my world beauty is measured differently. Beauty is only a degree of function.
In conducting some twenty big game hunts for my TV show, The Best and Worst of Tred Barta a lot of the worst happens. Alaska, British Columbia, Africa, and Australia - I have found extreme wilderness does not care about zebra wood, Bubinga, bacote and black maple exotic woods, nor does it care about fancy antlered tips. True wilderness measures the man and his equipment only on function. Will it hold up, will it perform and how tough is it? That's the way it is for both the hunter and the longbow.
Many of you are blessed with God given skills to be great shots. I'm not. I've practiced five days a week for the last 30 years. My God, I should be a Howard Hill, but truth be told, I'm an average shooter. In wilderness hunting, nothing goes as planned. Absolutely nothing. You fall in streams, fall off horses, use your longbow as a walking staff forging rivers, and to be quite honest, your bow is abused and used constantly beyond its design limits. Welcome to my world and many of yours.
Although I have been a loyal customer of 3Rivers Archery for nearly two decades, the last year or so has been centered on the concept, design and bringing traditional archers and hunters a bow that puts all its emphasis on performance, simplicity and strength. I also needed a bow that was incredibly easy to shoot and very forgiving on bad releases, "not so perfect form" and now the hardest part... I wanted everyone to be able to afford the bow. It had to be, low priced, Tred tough, and ready to harvest anything from; moose, grizzly bear, cape buffalo and all the way down the gambit to rabbit and squirrels, or be able to win any traditional tournament.
I am proud to announce we did it, but how did we do it? By the way, it's manufactured in the United States of America by one of the oldest, most reliable bow manufacturers in the world: Martin Archery.
The Barta Bow is constructed of birch and maple laminates with black glass front and back. Maple core wood has always been the work horse of the traditional bow industry and is often underrated for its toughness, resistance to cracking having excellent mass weight and is the most reasonably priced, quality core wood available today.
The Barta Bow carries its depth and beef of core thickness tip to tip for incredible strength compared to most longbows. Its 64" length is perfect for my hunting situations and I am ecstatic about how easy and smooth it draws without stacking and the absence of hand shock during the shot. The Barta Bow comes in bow weights up to 70 lbs. The Barta Bow handle fits very comfortably and is designed to collect your hand quickly and naturally as shots in the field are often sudden and when least expected. Often with gloves on in ridiculous shooting positions.
What the Barta Bow is not: Well, this will probably give 3Rivers a heart attack but, oh well, another day, another adventure. The Barta Bow is sure not delicate; it is not designed to be. It's sure not beautiful in the custom Bowyers sense. As a matter of fact, it is quite plain. The Barta Bow is no screamin' eagle on speed. My bow is about 175 to 180 FPS shooting a 11/32" cedar arrow, 30" long, tipped with a 125 grain Woodsman with full helical 5½" real turkey feathers in an all-purpose shield cut. It is the right speed and cast for any discipline.
Even though the riser, with its black, gray, and tan laminations offers a natural camo effect, I smear camo paint or mud on my bow to match every unique hunting situation; however, its matt finish won't shine and scare game even if you use it as is right out of the box.
All being said and all considered, I am very proud of 3Rivers Archery,
Martin Archery, and for that matter, myself for producing a bowhunter's bow. The Barta Bow is as honest as the day is long. It shoots great, it's tougher than nails and has filled the gap in the market between the high priced custom bow market and low priced mediocrity not capable of the rigors of wilderness hunting.
The Barta Bow delivers. In my opinion, it is the lowest priced, no nonsense, wilderness ready longbow ever offered for its quality, period. Two things to think about: My name is on it and my life literally rests on the string when I hunt. Try one. You will be impressed.
The Barta Bow and other "Tred-Tough" products are offered exclusively at 3Rivers Archery.
If function, performance and toughness in the field are beautiful, the Barta Bow is as pretty as it gets. I love the beauty of custom bows. I own a lot of 'em, but they don't shoot better groups than my Barta Bow. Thank you for your consideration and the best of luck this season.

Massage aim. Identify your aim
The measure of a good massage is not only how good you feel during the massage but also how good you feel afterwards and in the days that follow.
It is easy to feel good during a massage and, to be honest, it is not very difficult to make you feel good, but this is only about the moment and has not much to do with the quality of the massage. You could have a great experience which is a worthless experience and you could have a disappointing experience but a great massage. No, I am not trying to trick you and nor am I playing word games. What I am saying is that one thing has almost nothing to do with the other.
