How To Make Fresh Pasta from Scratch
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Speaking of helpers, it helps to have a few. You can definitely do it by yourself, but it's really nice to have an extra set of hands, especially if you're hand-cranking the dough through a counter-top pasta roller. Whether working by yourself or with someone else, I find that you fall into a rhythm of rolling the sheets of pasta, cutting the noodles, and sprinkling everything with flour.
Once you've made your pasta, you can cook it right away, dry it, or freeze it for later. When you do cook it, remember that homemade pasta cooks much more quickly than the dried pasta you buy in stores. Give it about four minutes in salted boiling water, taste it, and keep checking in one-minute increments until the pasta is al dente.
Ready? Let's make some pasta.
Fresh Egg Pasta
What You Need
2 cups flour, plus extra for rolling the pasta
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
Mixing bowl
Fork or dough whisk
Pasta machine (see Additional Notes for rolling pasta by hand)
Baking sheet
Clean dishtowel
1. Combine the Flour and Salt: Whisk together the flour and salt with a fork in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Add the Eggs: Create a deep well in the middle of the flour and crack the eggs into this well. Whisk the eggs with the fork to combine.
Note: You can do this on the counter-top "Italian Grandmother Style" if you prefer, but I find it's easier and less messy to do it in a bowl. For food-processor instructions, see below.
3. Begin Combining the Flour and Eggs: As you whisk the eggs, begin gradually pulling in flour from the bottom and sides of the bowl. Don't rush this step. At first, the eggs will start to look like a slurry. Once enough flour has been added, it will start forming a very soft dough. Don't worry if you haven't used all the flour.
4. Knead the Pasta Dough: Turn the dough and any excess flour out onto a clean counter. Begin gently folding the dough on itself, flattening, and folding again. It will be extremely soft at first, then gradually start to firm up. Once it's firm enough to knead, begin kneading the dough. Incorporate more flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to you or the counter. Slice into the dough with a paring knife; if you see lots of air bubbles, keep kneading. The dough is kneaded when it forms a smooth elastic ball and has very few air bubbles when cut.
5. Rest the Pasta Dough: Clean and dry the mixing bowl. Place the ball of dough inside and cover with a dinner plate or plastic wrap. Rest for at least 30 minutes.
Note: At this point, the pasta dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Let it come back to room temperature before rolling.
6. Divide the Pasta Dough: Sprinkle a baking sheet generously with flour and scrape the ball of dough on top (it will stick to the bowl; use a spatula or bowl scraper if necessary). Divide the dough into four equal portions. Dust the portions with flour and cover with a clean dishtowel.
Note: The name of the game at this point is to keep everything well-floured to prevent the pasta from sticking to itself or the roller as you work. If the dough starts to feel sticky as you roll it, sprinkle it with flour. Also sprinkle flour on any pasta you're not working (rolled, cut or otherwise) with and keep it covered with a dishtowel.
7. Begin Rolling Out the Pasta: Set your pasta machine to the thickest setting (usually marked "1"). Flatten one piece of dough into a thick disk between your hands and feed it through the pasta roller. Repeat once or twice. Fold this piece of dough into thirds, like folding a letter, and press it between your hands again. With the pasta machine still on the widest setting, feed the pasta crosswise between the rollers (see picture). Feed it through once or twice more until smooth. If desired, repeat this folding step. This helps to strengthen the gluten in the flour, giving it a chewier texture when cooked.
8. Thin the Pasta: Begin changing the settings on your roller to roll the pasta thinner and thinner. Roll the pasta two or three times at each setting, and don't skip settings (the pasta tends to snag and warp if you do). If the pasta gets too long to be manageable, lay it on a cutting board and slice it in half. Roll the pasta as thin as you like to go. For linguine and fettuccine, I normally go to 6 or 7 on the KitchenAid attachement; for angel hair or stuffed pastas, I go one or two settings thinner.
9. Cut the Pasta: Cut the long stretch of dough into noodle-length sheets, usually about 12-inches. If making filled pasta or lasagna, proceed with shaping. If cutting into noodles, switch from the pasta roller to the noodle cutter, and run the sheet of pasta through the cutter. Toss the noodles with a little flour to keep them from sticking and gather them into a loose basket. Set this basket on the floured baking sheet and cover with a towel while you finish rolling and cutting the rest of the dough.
Note: I find it easiest to roll all the pasta at once before proceeding to cutting it into noodles. I sprinkle the sheets of pasta liberally with flour and overlap them on a floured baking sheet, covered with a towel.
10. Cooking, Drying, or Freezing the Pasta: To cook the pasta immediately, bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt the water, and cook the pasta until al dente, 4-5 minutes. To dry, lay the pasta over a clothes drying rack, coat hangers, or the back of a chair, and let air dry until completely brittle. Store in an airtight container for several weeks. To freeze, either freeze flat in long noodles or in the basket-shape on a baking sheet until completely frozen. Gather into an airtight container and freeze for up to three months. Dried and frozen noodles may need an extra minute or two to cook.
Additional Notes:
• Pasta Dough in the Food Processor: Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until combined, then run the processor continuously until a dough is formed. Proceed with kneading and shaping the dough as directed.
• Rolling and Cutting Pasta by Hand: It can be done! Divide the dough into four pieces and mimic the action of a pasta roller with a rolling pin. Roll as thin as possible, lifting and moving the dough constantly to make sure it doesn't stick. Sprinkle the dough generously with flour and then gently roll it up. Use a very sharp chef knife to cut the roll cross-wise into equal-sized noodles. Shake out the coils, toss with flour, and proceed with cooking.

It's DEFINITELY one of my resolutions, but I may wait for a pasta roller to magically arrive on my doorstep...Thanks for the tips!
This has been on my resolutions list for a while. What's the best way to dry & store excess pasta?
Is that a photo of the Pasta Queen? I love that little pasta-making device.
I've frozen uncooked pasta before.
I would but I don't have the pasta roller and am to lazy to do it by hand!
I dry my pasta on a little wooden drying rack, which is nothing more than a suspended wooden dowel. For shapes, dry them on a screen or a cheesecloth-covered cooling rack. When my pasta is dry, I store it in large canning jars.
I was actually already planning on making ravioli this weekend! How timely... but I would like to make a large batch and then freeze some. What are the tricks for freezing well? Does anyone have any recipes? Thanks!
tomorrow's supposed to be a snowy day, maybe i'll stay in and make homemade pasta or ravioli. but we don' need no stinking pasta roller!
@ kitchenplay: i have a really easy recipe for <a/>butternut squash ravioli.
I would like to make a lemon pepper pasta sometime. I have a recipe that calls for it, but haven't found any in the stores near me.
The taste of handmade pasta is definitely worth the time it takes to make them, but if you're hoping to make any of the thin noodles, like fettucini, and make it often, then a pasta machine is worth the investment. I've seen them for good deals at places like Marshall's and Ross. Otherwise, I agree with fizziwink--you don't necessarily need a pasta machine if you're at least a little comfortable with a rolling pin. Even if you can't get a very thin sheet rolled out, you can still make a thicker, hand-formed pasta, like fuzi.
Also, if you can stand the price, semolina flour will help make a really nice pasta... Don't get me wrong, as All-Purpose will suffice, but for that last blast of goodness, semolina seems to be the real deal. Strangely, there's a Ocean State Job Lot (a discount/closeout clearing house store...) that has it for excellent pricing.
We make fresh pasta probably once a week. Once you get into it, it's hard to go back to the dried store pasta. We use a recipe from Cafe Lago, in Seattle.
You use the food processor and it takes less than 5 minutes to mix up, then you let it rest on the counter and roll it out.
mmm, homemade pasta. IT's been too long.
fizziwink - I'm going to try that squash ravioli
Thanks fizziwink! But for some reason the link won't work... you can also find me at kitchenplay.blogspot.com.
And i actually decided to try out pierogies this weekend... the polish ravioli, if you will!
Great instructions and basic pasta recipe!
I'm hoping to buy a pasta maker soon, any recommendations?
dunno why the link isn't working. oh wait, now i remember - i suck at HTML.
anyway, it's to my blog @ www.thursdaynightsmackdown.com
you can find my homemade pasta, predictably, in the "pasta" category.
yum nothing like homemade pasta need to break out the pasta machine this weekend.
i have a pasta roller, a drying rack, a ravioli press, and an italian heritage. why haven't i done this yet?
aaaah! what happened to the semolina? growing up with a grandma from the region where they produce most of the pasta (central italy) it's basically a sin to make pasta with all white flour (pasta over cooking northerners make it this way ;) ) ! I make at least 2/3 semolina - 1/3 white, it's much nicer and chewier.
Time to dust off my pasta machine. Thanks for the reminder it is in the back of my cupboard. Actually I have a few since I used to teach a "Kids In The Kitchen" class at my children's primary school. Now that my kids have grown into adults, it will be a great family activity when we get together for our next gathering.
Wishing you a brightly colored day!
Yay, great article. Thanks for reposting! I just got the KitchenAid pasta attachments and am awaiting the arrival of my Artisan stand mixer. Can't wait to make my own pasta from scratch.
probably no one will read this since i'm posting months after the original post but what the hell. i have been making pasta for about a month now and it has turned into a bit of an obsession.
1st key point - Use a mixture of Tipo 00 flour and semolina flour. the ratio i use depends on how much of each one i have left.
2nd - weight your eggs. People talk about this alot but here's the secret. get a digital scale crack 1 egg into a bowl then add 1 egg yolk. weigh it. The amount of flour you need is 1.9* egg weight.
3- use a food processor. i have a tiny little kitchen aid one which can only take 1egg yolk and ~125grams of flour. this turns out to be the perfect amount to roll out.
Just put the food processor on grind or whatever and pulse it until it morphs into one big blob.
4- for drying. i cut my pasta then put it out on the table spread out on paper towls. works like a charm.
Excess fresh pasta? There's no such thing. It becomes dried pasta. That is if you don't gobble it all down.
Using an Atlas Pasta Roller I went through my homemade fresh pasta phase in the mid-80's. I even made my own wooden drying rack. Delicious, yes. More work than it's really worth? Decide for yourself.
Such a time-consuming task but so rewarding! I've made my fair share of fettuccine, spaghetti, ravioli, and gnocchi...it takes so long to make and is so quick to eat! The rewarding part for all the hard work is to make a delicious end product that he family enjoys!
If making the pasta by hand, thread works great for cutting the pasta. Just wrap the thread around the rolled up pasta, cross the thread and pull. It's hard to explain without a picture but since you're good cooks, you know what I'm talking about.
MCS Gal
it really is so easy - i took part in a pasta making course a few weeks ago and had so much fun! http://www.diginhobart.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/pasta-making-at-italian-pantry.html
unfortunately work and life has gotten in the way, but i do intend to make my own once life settles down again. it was very relaxing too, all that mixign and kneading and rolling. ah, therapy by pasta making!
I never tried to make pasta myself,only buy it in supermarkets.But thanks to you,I wanna have a try!
If you dry the pasta, can you store it in the cupboard? I have always been afraid to keep it at room temperature because of the eggs. I was inspired by your pasta-making article several years ago, and I think I will try again. Thank you!
here's a quick video project i did:
(I think this is a Dutch egg noodle recipe, or possibly German -- certainly not Italian.)
My family has made homemade noodles forever, by hand. (Mom added a splash of milk to the recipe given.) We used a can of roast beef (in the Spam section of the supermarket!!) for flavor in the broth, and for more protein in the meal. (No sauce except butter and salt.)
As I have gotten older with a partner who is unimpressed by the deliciousness of these noodles, I have a new system for a one-person meal. I use Chicken broth, not beef, and I don't even make "noodles" any more. I make the dough, I don't let it rest, I just pinch off bits of dough and drop them directly into boiling broth. A few minutes later, when they float, they are done. I scoop them out with a slotted spoon, dump on a couple of tablespoons of Benecol (low cholesterol margarine) and a lot of salt and freshly ground pepper -- delicious! Kind of between noodles and dumplings, nice and chewy, and fast. (Only a little bit messy, but cleanup is pretty easy -- just make sure you soak anything with egg and flour immediately -- that combination makes a serious paste that can harden and be very stubborn if allowed to dry!)
In a cookbook I lost, it showed how to put whole herbs into a sheet of pasta:
Roll out a thin sheet of pasta (uncut). Lay some herbs (flat ones work best, I think. Like parsley) on it. Cover with another sheet of rolled pasta. Press slightly. Put the now thicker sheet into pasta machine to roll thin again. Then you can cut it into smaller noodles or shapes, I guess.
Doesn't that sound fabulous?
made some turned out great no more store product for me
I just inherited a pasta machine over the weekend and this was my first time using it on my own. This recipe is foolproof. Totally awesome.
Thanks! :)
Using my great-aunt's Imperia machine that had been stored on a shelf for about the last 25 years, this recipe motivated me to give it a try for the first time in my adult life. We had FUN making the pasta, and boy oh boy, was it delicious!! I'm now seeking out recipes for flavoring the pasta (especially garlic-parsley), and I am certain this will now be a weekly family project. I can't thank you enough for bringing us closer together.
We do this regularly at the shop. I love our Atlas pasta roller/cutter and the drying rack. Pasta for a crowd is short work with a good team and plenty of counter space.
I love making homemade pasta, especially when I can invite a few girlfriends over and we do it together. There is something to be said about standing around the island, working with dough and good chatter.
Here is a recipe I made with homemade pasta with a duck ragu: http://eat-drink-garden.com/2010/02/tagliatelle-with-duck-ragu/
My son and I made our own pasta for the first time tonight! Your directions were awesome and easy to follow. Our pasta came out perfect and we quickly made dinner so we could taste our handiwork! Thanks!
When I make pasta, it cooks in under 1 minute. My ratio is 2 cups flour, 2 whole eggs, 1/4 cup olive oil & 3 T water (recipe from Lidia Bastianich). If it's dried, it takes just over a minute. If I make it to it's thinnest (setting 7 on the counter top roller), then I barely toss the pasta in the water before I need to take it out.
I hand make pasta about once/ week during the cold months. I love having dinner on the table that delicious that quickly!
Yum, homemade pasta! I've made gnocchi and gnudi at home, but never my own semolina pasta. Thanks for including the notes for rolling out pasta by hand... as a first-timer, I'm not ready to go out and buy a pasta machine quite yet!
Funny, i was just looking into some pasta machine yesterday.
Should I get those Kitchenaid attachment or should I get one of those pretty looking manual one by Marcato? I just looked at prices Kitchenaid is charging for those attachment and such a ripoff it seems.
Get the tabletop machine. I just took a class from a woman who makes pasta professionally and she said the KitchenAid attachement tends to stretch the dough too much since it's so high off the counter. You can get the handcranked machines for much, much less.
Thanks Christina. You just saved me about $60...though I am sure my husband will say I have just wasted $60 on another kitchen gadget.
All you need is a rolling pin, unless you make a LOT of pasta!
Tippo 00 and semolina flours are total wastes! Gold Medal A-P flour works just fine to make great tasting and nicely textured pasta and it is far cheaper and easier to find
Glad to help, I'm always for saving money and getting fun new gadgets at the same time :-)
I always use: 1 egg : 100 grams of flour
No salt (you put salt on the water or on the sauce, not in the dough)!
No oil!
This is first on my "to-do" list . . I have my KitchenAid pasta maker attachments and I'm good to go! Love this!

Well folks, it's raining today but I've worked out the gardens Saturday while it was dry. I fixed some more sweet potatoes, ground, and Lord's willing, I'm going to set them out soon. As I've said, I like farming and raising the gardens.
A lot of people tell me they read my column each week. I saw Brian Gregory down at the Hima post office and he talked about the garden. Thanks Brian for reading my write up. The grandbaby will be celebrating his birthday this week. He will be the big 2 years old. The boys are coming up to play music for him. The banjo player, the dobro player, and the bass player. As I've said, he's music minded and I'm thankful for that.
He went to Sunday school and church Sunday. I take him every weekend. The Roots Branch Church will be having a singing this Saturday night starting at 7:00 PM. Everyone is welcome to attend.
The clan went fishing again this past week, and we caught a cooler full. I enjoy fishing and catching the fish.
I want to say hello to the Smiths and Pelfreys way up Virginia way. They are true friends. I hope all are well. I want to thank all of you for reading my little write up every week. Some are calls telling me they enjoy reading the paper.
Happy birthday wishes go out this week to Gearldene Boots Smith. She has been a good true friend to me all these years. You never forget the kind things people do for you. So Boots, from all of us, we hope you have the best birthday ever and may the good Lord bless you to have many more.
The grandbaby will be the big 2 Thursday and we are planning a party for him. He is a sight. We took him down at the park Saturday afternoon to play. He had a wonderful time on the slides and swings.
I want to thank the city for fixing all the things for the children, the playground, and all the things for the kids. There were children everywhere at the park and they were having a good time. It's good that we have things for our children to play on.
Some folks are still sick and in need of prayer: Denver Smith, Waymon and Joyce Mills, Edgar Lawson, Junior Mills, and Orie Henson. Remember the ones in the hospitals, the nursing homes, and the ones that have lost a loved one this past week.
To the France family, our prayers go out to you all.
Well, I'll stop for this time. May the good Lord bless and keep you and may He forever hold you in His hands.

Well, we are having warm weather now. Time seems like to be flying by, this is the fifth month and another month and the year will be half gone. We got plenty of rain Friday night and you can't keep the grass cut. There is always something to do here at this place, but we got a little R & R last week.
We went fishing over at Cumberland River. We had a good time and we caught a lot of fish. I caught my first walleye. Boy, do they have teeth! You can see a lot of things on the wild river deer, turkey, geese, ducks, and eagles too. We saw bear tracks in the mud on the river bank. Last year, we saw wild goats and we saw the big fishing cranes. You can see so much out in the wild.
We had the grandbaby again this week and he is a sight getting into everything. He will be having his birthday next week, the 17th. He will be the big 2. He sure is smart. He talks like a grownup. Granny gets after him with the fly swat and he runs to me. He likes going to Sunday school and church.
Some folks are still sick: Denver Smith, Waymon and Joyce Mills, Edgar Lawson, Orie Henson, and Brenda Hicks. Pray for all the sick and shut-ins, the ones in the hospitals, the nursing homes, the ones that are at home, and the ones that have lost a loved one this pass week.
I want to thank each one of you for taking the time to read my little column and thanks to the staff at the Enterprise for all your help. It's good to have so many friends.
There will be a baby shower at the Rawlings and Stinson Park for Brandie Smith, Saturday May 12 starting at 12 o'clock and it's a boy.
Happy birthday wishes go out to Haley Spurlock, she will be 6 the 14th, from her mother Linda and grandparents Arthur and Linda Sue Hubbard, and all of her church family. We love you.
I'll stop for this time. May God bless and may He forever hold you in His hands.
Wednesday, 02 May 2012 12:53
Well folks, I'm glad we are having warm weather again. Everything is growing and the grass sure is. It keeps one busy mowing. I have to mow the yard twice a week. The garden is coming along real good. I've plowed the potatoes this past week and I'll have to plow and hoe the beans this week. The onions are big enough to eat, the cabbage are beginning to make heads, and the sweet potato plants are getting big enough to set out.
As I said before, it keeps you busy raising a garden, but I like raising one. The sweet corn is up, we've planted peaches and cream ambrosia and merit and other kinds too. Boy has the price for seed and fertilizer gone up. It costs a lot of money to raise a big garden.
Today we hear of so much things happening. It was sad to hear about Jimbo Lyttle passing. Our prayers go out to all the family. He was always a kind and helpful person and so was his sister, Becky Stivers. She helped me many times. As I've said, it's good to have good friends. The saying is if you want friends, be a good friend.
A lot of people are sick and in need of prayers. Denver Smith is at home now. He had surgery and was in the hospital for a couple of weeks and he is doing a little better. Norma Lee Sibert fell and hurt herself the other day when it was raining. She never broke any bones, but bruised herself. Remember Waymon and Joyce Mills, Edgar Lawson, and Ora Henson. So folks pray for these people.
The grand baby is growing like a weed and talking up a storm. We took him to Wal-Mart and we had to get him a rod and reel. He is ready to go fishing. We keep him on the weekends and take him to church. On Saturday he wears me out. If I work in the garden, he has to have a hoe too. Every step I take, he's with me. He sure likes the outdoors. The preacher at the church was bragging on him for being a good boy. I'm trying to teach him the good things that a child should know. So many people don't take their children or grand children to Sunday school or church, but they should, it sure won't hurt them.
I don't have any birthdays this week, so I'll stop for this time. May the good Lord bless and keep you. God bless America and may He forever hold you in His hands.
Tuesday, 24 April 2012 23:16
Well folks, I thought spring was here, but today it's a cold and dreary day. I sure hope it warms up soon. One day it's 70º or 80º, the next day it's 50º, but we had an early spring this year. Someone said it was a blackberry winter. It's sure cold here now anyways.
The garden is coming along good. The potatoes are up and I guess I will plow them this Wednesday. I've already worked the onions, peas, and cabbages. The beans and sweet corn are up, it won't be long until the cabbage will be heading. I like to work in the garden.
We had the grandbaby this weekend and he's growing up so fast. He sure is a handful and hard to keep up with. He wants me to ride him on the tractors and everything. When he gets into trouble, he runs to me for help, and I take care of him. He wants to help me. He went with me to gather the eggs. He likes to hear the rooster crow, and he crows back to the old rooster. He is a sight. He gets into everything. He likes the barn and he gets my tools and scatters them all over the barn.
Some people are still sick; Denver Smith, Waymon and Joyce Mills, Edgar Lawson, and Orie Henson. So many people are sick and need prayer, so pray for them, the ones in the hospital and the nursing homes.
I want to wish Kenny and Mollie Smith a happy belated birthday. May God bless you all to have many more. Also Faith Allen and Charlie Collins, Lana Smith and Morgan Hubbard.
I'd like to say hello to the Smiths and Pilfreys way up Virginia way, they are good friends and to Daugh and Lucy Pearl Gregory way up Michigan way. So many people get the Enterprise out of state, they keep up with what's happening here in Clay County, and that is good. The staff is so good at the Enterprise and that is the way people should be.
Well, on the news they say that the oil prices are coming down, the gas prices are not. I wonder why. Just a thought
Well, our roads up here on Roots Branch are still in bad shape, they sure need fixing. I sure hope our judge will fix them.
I want to thank everyone that gets the paper and the ones that read my little write-up. So many people call me every week telling me they look for the write-ups. Boy, it's good to be living here in Clay County. Some states have got snow this morning like Ohio and Pennsylvania. We sure have been blessed this past winter and spring.
Well, I'll stop for this week. May the good Lord bless and keep you and God bless America and may He forever hold you in His hands.
Wednesday, 18 April 2012 13:10
Well folks, we've had some big frost this past week and there was ice too. The fruit trees that had bloomed got killed and a lot of flowers were in bloom got killed too. Some people said they had tomatoes planted. Well, they got killed too. It was a pretty hard freeze. I had some potatoes coming up and the frost bit them off, but potatoes will come back up.
We had an early spring this year and most of the trees had already bloomed out. Maybe it will stay warmed up now, I sure hope so.
Some people are still sick, Waymon and Joyce Mills, Edgar Lawson, and Denver Smith, so pray for them. Remember the ones in the hospital, the nursing homes, and the ones that have lost a loved one this pass week.
There will be the monthly singing at the Roots Branch Church starting at 7:00 PM. Every one is welcome to attend.
Boy have things changed over the years. I remember when gas was 17¢ a gallon. Now some gas station's have over $5 a gallon. The oil companies are getting richer. Something should be done. Prices may come down as the election gets closer, just a thought. The roads up on Roots Branch need some work done on them and on the bridges too.
My friend, Gary Gregory, was busy Saturday. He was cutting trees and cleaning up the campground down at Hima. Not many people in his position would work like he does. I helped him just a little. He told me he needed the exercise. It's good to have friends.
Well, it's getting time to go fishing but I have plenty of work to do around the place putting out the garden, mowing, and weed eating. I'm lucky because I've got a little helper, the grand baby. He sure likes the outside, but he's hard to keep up with. He is a sight. He likes going to Sunday school and church.
I want to thank everyone for reading my little column and thanks to the Enterprise for helping me. May the good Lord bless and keep you, and God bless America and may He forever hold you in His hands.

O'Connor was the leader of the Lady Purple Hurricanes this season, helping them to the Sweet 16 round of the Class AAA state tournament.
Cartersville (25-15 overall and 8-5 in Area 4-AAA) was defeated by Blessed Trinity, which went on to win the Class AAA state championship.
O'Connor, a 6-1 middle hitter, was a top performer at the state level due to her play for Cartersville.
She ranked 15th in the state for hitting percentage and eighth in Class AAA; 17th in the state in kill percentage and fourth in Class AAA; 17th in the state and third in Class AAA for aces; third in the state for blocks and 23rd in the state in Class AAA for digs.
Overall, she had 344 kills (44.8 kill percentage), 97 aces (25.8 ace percentage, 84.8 serve percentage), 159 blocks, 138 digs and four assists.
Coach Camille Spradley said the state volleyball honor also recognizes the play of her team in the sport as well as her individual accomplishments.
"I think it speaks volumes for where Cartersville volleyball is heading," Spradley said. "We are being more competitive and our players are taking their game more seriously. They're doing things this offseason to help their play next year. They've already set their goals for next season."

After the criticisms and the confirmations, the exaltation of design, and the conclusion of Memphis, Michele De Lucchi founded Produzione Privata, taking up the urge for change that was in the air at the turn of the '90s. Aware of the gap that had been created between design and production, he set out to rediscover the role of the architect as an intellectual who conceives and fulfills his projects with a more responsible approach to the quality and beauty of things. What had started as a small-scale craft-oriented production of experimental projects traced by his pencil very soon proved to be an opportunity to make objects using technologies on the margins of industrial production, but treated within the logic of series.

Man who killed three in Salisbury out on parole
A man who pleaded guilty in 1990 to killing three Salisbury residents over drug money was released this week on parole, a state agency said.
Clifford Allen Nichols was serving back-to-back life sentences for the 1987 murders of Gralin Nailing, Booker Barfield and Edwin Little Jr.
But because he was sentenced prior to the 1994 enactment of the state's structured sentencing law, which eliminated parole, Nichols walked out of prison on Monday.
According to the N.C. Department of Correction, Nichols, now 63 years old, has returned to Davie County, where he lived at the time of the killings.
The crimes occurred Oct. 22, 1987, at Barfield's apartment on West Horah Street in Salisbury. An officer responding to a disturbance call around 12:30 a.m. found 28-year-old Marcella Denise Carr wandering in the street near the home. She'd been shot and beaten.
At the home, police found Barfield and Nailing dead. Little was alive but died on the way to the hospital.
Barfield, 58, had been bludgeoned to death with the butt of a shotgun. Nailing, 31, and Little, 23, had been shot.
Carr survived, but was hospitalized for a month and underwent multiple surgeries.
Police found cocaine and drug paraphernalia in the home.
Investigators arrested Nichols a week after the murders. They found blood on the steering wheel of his car, parked at his mobile home near U.S. 601 at the Rowan-Davie line. In nearby bushes, they found a bag that contained a bloody washcloth and clothes.
The .410 shotgun was found on a creek bank along Woodleaf Road. In the creek, authorities found more clothes, including a pair of pants with a payroll number that identified them as belonging to Nichols at a former employer.
Nichols initially denied committing the crimes. But charged with first-degree murder and facing a possible death sentence, he pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon. The four charges were consolidated into two for sentencing.
In a 1994 interview, Nichols said he went to the home — with the shotgun he'd borrowed from his brother-in-law — to confront Nailing. Nichols said he'd given Nailing $700 to buy cocaine a day earlier, but Nailing told him he'd used up his money after they spent the night smoking the drug.
He said he shot Nailing when he believed the man was reaching for a gun. When Barfield rushed him, he began beating the older man with the butt of the gun. It went off as they struggled, Nichols said, and he accidentally shot Little and Carr.
Nichols said he continued struggling with Barfield, who had grabbed a butcher knife, and accidentally struck Carr with the gun when she got into the fight. When the still-living Nailing grabbed his leg, Nichols said, he hit him with the gun. Then he beat Barfield to death in the kitchen.
But investigators and Carr told a much different story.
They said Nichols showed up Barfield's apartment demanding money. Nailing wasn't there at the time, they said.
Nichols began beating Barfield and told Little and Carr to lie on the floor. At some point, Carr said, Nichols put the shotgun against Little's temple and fired. She was struck by pellets from the blast. Nichols then returned to beating Barfield.
Carr said she didn't remember when Nichols first struck her with the gun. She lost consciousness, then woke up later and left the apartment. And she said she didn't see Nichols kill Nailing.
Police said Nichols hid behind a door and waited for Nailing. Witnesses told investigators they had overheard Nichols earlier that evening telling Nailing that he was waiting for his money. Nailing told Nichols to be patient and that he would meet him at Barfield's apartment later.

Earnings Preview: EMC reports after HPQ merger talks said to end
EMC Corporation (EMC) is expected to report third quarter earnings before the bell on Wednesday, October 22, with a conference call scheduled for 8:30 am ET. EMC provides software, hardware and IT services to business customers through its three federated businesses: EMC Information Infrastructure, Pivotal and VMware Virtual Infrastructure, which is represented by EMC's majority equity stake in VMware (VMW). VMware is expected to report on its own third quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, October 21, with a conference call scheduled for 5:00 pm ET. EXPECTATIONS: For EMC, analysts are looking for earnings per share of 46c on revenue of $6.0B. The consensus range is 44c-49c for EPS and $5.91B-$6.16B for revenue, according to First Call. Along with its last earnings report, EMC raised its FY14 adjusted EPS view to $1.91 from $1.90 and guided to FY14 revenues of $24.58B. Analysts consensus for FY14 EPS and revenue currently stand at $1.91 and $24.55B. For VMware, analysts are looking for earnings per share of 83c on revenue of $1.5B. The consensus range is 81c-85c for EPS and $1.48B-$1.52B for revenue, according to First Call. LAST QUARTER: EMC reported Q2 adjusted EPS of 43c, which matched the consensus expectation. EMC's revenue of $5.9B came in slightly ahead of the $5.83B consensus projection. EMC also accelerated its 2014 share buyback plan, stating that it now expects to repurchase an aggregate of $3B of the company's common stock in 2014. VMware reported Q2 EPS of 81c, versus consensus of 79c, on revenue $1.46B, versus consensus of $1.44B. NEWS: VMware held its "VMWorld 2014" conference from August 24-28, during which the company updated its 2015 guidance. VMware's guidance for revenue growth in the mid teens percentage level and margin expansion of up to one percentage point is positive, RBC Capital analyst Matthew Hedberg wrote in a note to investors on August 26. The same day Cowen analyst Gregg Moskowitz wrote that VMware's FY15 revenue guidance would "likely weigh modestly" on the stock, even though he was not surprised by the outlook. Less than two weeks ago, Elliott Management sent a letter to the board of directors of EMC Corporation detailing its recommendations on the right path forward for EMC, in which Elliott holds a stake. Elliott believes that EMC's Federation structure obscures enormous value at the company and that the board and management should pursue pathways to recognize this value, including a separation of VMware from Core EMC and/or various M&A opportunities, Elliott wrote. In response, EMC said its directors regularly review and evaluate the company's strategy with a view towards enhancing shareholder value. "Over the past few months, EMC's leadership has met with representatives of Elliott several times and has listened carefully to their ideas, as we do with all of our shareholders," the company said. Last week, HP (HPQ) announced the resumption of its share repurchase program after Reuters reported the company's merger talks with EMC had ended. HP had suspended the buyback program due to "possession of material non-public information." The tech giant said that day that it is "no longer in possession of such information." During September, Re/code reported, citing sources familiar with Oracle's plans, that the company was not interested in acquiring EMC. Meanwhile, Cisco (CSCO) CEO John Chambers also said last month at a Wall Street Journal breakfast that his company is not among the potential merger partners for EMC. Chambers said a deal between the two companies would have been done a "year or two ago" were it to happen, according to Reuters. STREET RESEARCH: On the day after its last earnings report, Brean Capital raised its price target on EMC to $33 from $30, citing the company's aggressive capital return strategy, encouraging core Storage dynamics and potential pent up demand. Tigress Financial, however, downgraded EMC to Buy from Strong Buy, citing valuation. Additionally, VMware estimated that its total available market would reach more than $60B in 2017, versus its estimate last year of a $50B+ total addressable market by 2016, Moskowitz noted. PRICE ACTION: In afternoon trading, EMC shares are up 1% to $27.22, while VMware is fractionally higher at $87.79. Over the last three months, EMC shares have declined almost 4%, while VMware's stock is down about 5.5% in that same time frame.

10 DIY Ideas for the Simple Wood Stump
After a little searching and a lot of asking around, I finally got my hands on two wood stumps. They've spent the last couple years drying out, but they still remain in their undressed state because I can't quite decide their fate. With so many images of transformed stumps floating around the internet, I have to admit, it has left me quite uncertain. Here are 10 unique approaches to reinventing the basic wood tree stump, from all natural to vivid glossy paint colors to stumps with a metallic touch.

2. Make an Easy DIY Stump Table by Thrifty and Chic
3. From Stump to Seriously Awesome Side Table by 17 Apart.

It's amazing that anyone has to do much searching for wood stumps. Here in New Jersey, they're all over the place since Sandy swept through. You can find them at the side of the road- precut- in any size your heart desires. They're free. Right now, people will PAY you to take them away. If you don't live in this state, rent a UHaul, load the sucker up and cart them back to your home where you can sell them to unsuspecting pretentious stylistas with more cash than gray matter. Tell them it is from the finest hardwood in the Princeton borough. It has a pedigree.
Smart DIYers do not spend money on free wood.
are you stumped? :-)
If you are looking for stumps in the SF Bay Area, I recently came across a wealth of them - people drop off cut up trees at the corner of Hearst Ave and the Frontage Rd in Berkeley and they are free to take (I snagged 4 of them!). And there are even typically men around looking to be picked up for construction type work that will help you put them in your car.
KH, I am really curious where you live that tree stumps are so readily available. I live minutes from Seaside in a relatively wooded area and have not seen a single tree stump or useable piece of tree trunk on the side of the road for the taking since Sandy passed through.
I don't know where in the world I would put it in my overcrowded with furniture house, but now I want a matte silver stump!!!
I have a stump from a Maple we had taken down in our yard several years ago, with 9 coats of gloss poly, and large locking casters - it's my cocktail table and I love it. Indestructable, put your feet on it, a wet drink glass, whatever. If rustic fits with the rest of your decor - you cant beat it.
I like the metallic ones in your photos, too!
I have a feeling that finding a proper stump for your decor is harder than it looks. Doesn't the stump have to be kiln dried first?
We have the silver version of the first stump coffee table (from The Phillips Collection) and we love it. It's not painted wood, but a resin cast of a tree stump, and it's surprisingly light.
Before we bought the table, we first tried to take a large actual tree stump, but we abandoned the attempt after thinking of the logistics of loading and unloading the heavy lump from the car and then getting it into our apartment building - I'm in good shape and i'm all for DIY, but I have my limits. We then saw the coffee table later that week and bought it - it was meant to be.
I thought that last one was "Stumps with Hats"
enishmarati: I live in Central New Jersey just north of Princeton. We have a bajillion stumps and cut logs all over the place. No exaggeration. Take Great Road from Hillsborough to Princeton and you will see more than enough wood to satisfy anyone who ever wanted a stump table, bench, farmhouse table. Any project you can dream of for which you need large pieces of circular wood, we've got it, in spades. The tree trucks are still taking down trees. Many trees, and I'm talking BIG trees, are down and waiting to be chopped or have been chopped and are waiting for seasoning or for someone to take them away.
I often wondered at the 'you can get a stump anywhere' people until I kept my eyes open and then ASKED. Visit suburban communities that have OLD trees. BIG trees. When the tree cutting crews come in, ask them if you can have a stump or two (or three or four). I received 3 large stumps this way. They tossed them in my car, I rolled them out, and I solicited help to get them inside.
They do not have to be kiln dried but it is recommended that you strip the bark off and let them sit in a garage for a year. Any parasites will leave and the stump will stop 'shedding'. In addition, I've been told to use a couple of old belts or ratcheting tie downs to prevent them from splitting as they dry.
@rose123 I totally did too! I thought, ok maybe for kids? The stripes and the angle make it look a bit funny. Maybe if they weren't outdoors and it didn't look like they were supposed to be drinking the cocktail...
I too thought the last photo looked like stumps with hats.
Having a picnic.
Gold stumps in #1 FTW!
Hi Decogirl. Actually finding a stump is easy if you know where to look. Local conservation areas where they regularly cut trees is a good place to look. Side of the road ... same thing. But if you just want to get one immediately without hunting just look up firewood suppliers in your area. They'll sell you a stump and cut it to whatever size you want for cheap. And they don't need to be kiln dried at all. Just leave them outside or inside to dry for a month or two depending on how old/wet the wood is. An easy way to tell when it's dry is to weigh it at the beginning of its drying process and weigh it every week after. When it stops dropping in weight ... it's dry enough to finish. ~ karen (the art of doing stuff ... stump # 8)
Great DIY projects for stumps. I have been getting a little tired of stumps (which I have loved for a few years now) but with these updates, they look fresh again!
Hey! Thanks for the great info! I didn't think about them having to dry out. There's a farm nearby that has a bunch of stumps from an old tree. I might just have to stop by now and find a spot in the house.
Oh, you're probably right, decogirl, but since when does AT care about doing something in a long-lasting or thorough way? If it looks good for the photo shoot, that's all that matters.
enishmarati - I think it definitely depends on where in NJ you are. I visited LBI a few weeks ago to help friends demo their house, and no trees down (well, probably not many trees in the first place!)
Where I live in Morris County, there are trees EVERYWHERE. A large tree fell on my car, totalling it, and another fell on our garage. A third fell and took out the utility lines to our house. My husband and I saved a few of the stumps from the tree that destroyed my car - they are in the attic drying out and hopefully in a year or so, we can use them for DIY. That way, we'll always have our "Sandy" stumps...
I had a stump in my back patio that was alive with strange vegetation, critters and other unknown (to me) creepy-crawlies. Blech, I am still itching thinking about it and I sold that house years ago. I know you are talking about a completely different type of stump but I still wouldn't have one in my home.
I like #5 the best.
Proximity of dog to stump in the photo amuses me. I've known a couple of dogs who would have thought it was sweet of me to put the toilet indoors...
I bet the Giving Tree never thought his next re-incarnation would be spray painted gold. Poor stump.
I'm not digging the painted stumps. There's nothing design clever about it. Stumps should look natural and contrast all the man made goodies floating around. @Chartreuse- I love your comment.
Well, the one with the Siamese cat is the best.
@3dogma LOL My boy Angus--who usually has the best house manners--lifted his leg on a friend's birch bark-covered umbrella stand. I shudder to think of a stump in the house for that reason.
I love me a good stump. Go natural colored with clear poly, I think!
Going to try this with several smaller logs strapped together.. Lov'n it!
This post and the comments tickle me. My husband has built log cabins from old log cabins and barns since 1973 and we ALWAYS have stumps around! We have notches cut off from logs he has recut and kitty playhouses made from hollowed logs. Too bad we are not near a metro area so we could sell log pieces!

My husband's favorites
I have bought my husband various different fit flop sneakers, in self defense, so he would understand why I needed more than one pair ;-). These grey ones are the favorites though, he has worn them into the ground. Hence I have just bought him this 2nd pair to replace the originals that are now falling apart. He'll have to wait til his birthday tho, shhhhh.
Microwobbleboard™ Technology
FitFlop multi-density midsoles, inspired by our Non-Stop Ergonomix™ philosophy, are biomechanically engineered to diffuse pressure and provide instant relief to your feet.
Classic FitFlop™ footwear is built on Microwobbleboard midsoles which can help diffuse underfoot pressure and absorb shock.

Note: you may need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader first.
Microwobbleboard™ sizing information
Instep sizing information
FitFlop footwear only comes in whole sizes. If your feet fall somewhere between, opt up a size if you have wide feet or a high instep, and down if you have narrow feet or a low instep. In the US, most people size down to the nearest whole size. In the rest of the world, people generally size up.
To ensure these fit, take 20-30 brisk walking steps in them, then look at your heels to make sure they are not being pushed off the back of the footbed. If they are, the upper straps are too tight across your instep and you need to SIZE UP (if a size up seems too long for your foot, please try another style).
Note: It is normal to have some space between your toes and the front of the footwear.

Yeah, I know I'm grumpy and opinionated.
I hunted close to home this season, only got one shot off. For any of you that have hunted the forests (jungles lol) of western Washington or Oregon, you'll know what I'm talking about. After 15-20 minutes of stalking a doe and making sure she didn't have fawns, I lost sight of her. I walked up to where I had seen her last and she popped back out to the side and behind me, curious as all get out. I didn't have time to range, and took the shot on a guesstimate, full broadside. She was closer than I thought, by 12 yards and the shot was high, right behind the shoulder under the spine. I waited 30 minutes, (probably should have waited longer) and went to find the blood trail. The arrow was right behind where she stood all bloody, but no blood trail. Took me 45 minutes or so pick up her trail, all hip high ferns, shoulder high huckleberry bushes and buck brush. Finally got a good trail and the skies opened up and poured down on me. After I lost the blood trail, I hiked back to the truck and went to get help. A buddy of mine came back with me and we scoured the forest for her, to no avail. All said, I shot her at about 10 am, and I got home about 8 pm soaken wet and disheartened. I didn't get close enough to another deer for a shot the rest of the season. Late season is coming up in a few weeks, I'll see what I can stir up then....
In God and guns we trust;
- One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
- A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

nice job
I had a mixed bag of results for my elk and bear hunt. I got an OTC with caps bear tag for GMU 43 in Colorado along with an OTC either sex elk tag. Weather didn't play nicely during the 4-5 days I was there; rained hard several days and nights along with lots of lightning making it not a good idea to be out in the woods. I also didn't see ANY animals and none in other hunter's camps either. After that I called a buddy in Pagosa Springs to see how his hunt was going. He was seeing a few, mostly spikes and one 5x5, and welcomed me to come hunt with him, so I did.
First day out I called in a rag-horn bull that wasn't quite legal and actually called him in twice within a 10 minute period. First time he came in to 30 yards, totally quiet, and I wasn't quite ready and didn't have my bow in hand or an arrow nocked. Since he wasn't legal I decided to see how much movement I could get away with. Even though he had a clear visual shot to me I made slow enough moves to get my bow up and arrow nocked and drawn and had my sight pin on him just as he was turning to leave (after 2-3 minutes of trying to figure out where the cows were from my calling). If he had been legal I would have easily slipped an arrow into him quartering away. I started calling again and he came back in to a slightly different vantage point but still about 30 yards distant. BTW, I firmly believe one of the reasons I was able to get away with as much movement as I did was due to my ASAT 3D leafy suit. That bull stared at me directly several times and never really appeared to discern what I was and that I posed any sort of threat. He just got antsy because he couldn't see any cows that he expected to be there.
A few days later my buddy and I were in another area and spotted a very nice cinnamon color phase black bear that we were able to sneak up to within 46 yards and watch as he fed. We tried to get photos and my camera decided it needed more light so my flash went off. He was caught completely by surprise and stared up at us like a kid who had gotten caught with his hand in the coolie jar. After he collected his wits and finally made us he ran across the clearing and stopped about 100 yards away to look back to see if we were giving chase or not. Had either of us had a bear tag for that game unit one of us would likely have gotten an arrow into him. Even so, it was great fun to watch him and knowing he had no clue we were there (the wind was absolutely perfect at the time).
Even though I came home empty handed it was a fun end to the hunt with good memories. I just wish I had more time I could take off work to try getting a late season deer tag, but alas, that's not happening this year. Here's hoping everyone has a good hunt.

I've had a great season! I had finally drawn my bear tag here in Wisconsin for the southern zone. It took me 2 sits to fill my tag. Then a week later the Archery Deer season opened and I took my buck on the fourth day. Since then I've only been out about a half dozen times hunting for a doe, but haven't had one close and have been seeing mostly small bucks. I hunt public land and am not a big horn hunter, don't get me wrong, if I can find a big buck before the season, I'll go after him. My buck this year is a fork horn, but the first deer with my new Martin Cougar FC and my bear weighed about 200lbs.010.jpgbearcollage1.jpg

Congrats Mike G. I take it you were ground hunting when you took your bear, based on the photo, and pretty close too. I bet that was exciting. He'll make a nice rug and the meat should be quite good too. Several years back I had bear that had been slow cooked and was very impressed by its flavor, texture and tenderness. I've also read and heard mtn lion meat is quite tasty.

Healthy Back to School Basics with Quick Lunch Lessons
Important Tips for Safe Lunches and Snacks
August 16, 2007 – Washington, D.C. – Kids head back to school this month, and parents have enough to take care of without worrying about the safety of food brought from home. Fortunately, parents and kids can take a few easy steps to minimize their risk of contracting foodborne illness.
September marks the start of the school year and National Food Safety Education month. In support, the non-profit Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE) offers the following easy tips to ensure this time of year is as happy and healthy as possible, and to combat the estimated 76 million cases of foodborne illness that affects Americans annually (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data):
Quick Lunch Lessons from Fight BAC!®:
- Always wash your hands. Use soap and warm water for 20 seconds before and after handling food and eating. Encourage kids to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice as they wash up.
- Rinse fresh whole fruits and vegetables under running tap water before packing them into a lunch.
- Keep hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use an insulated lunch box, insulated bottles for hot foods, and freezer packs or solid frozen juice boxes for cold foods. Perishable food such as meat, poultry, or egg sandwiches not eaten at lunchtime should be discarded.
- Chill it. If lunch is made the night before, keep it in the refrigerator until it's time to pack and go. Foods should never be left un-refrigerated for more than two hours. Keep your refrigerator temperature at 40°F or below—use a refrigerator thermometer to be sure.
When choosing food for school lunches or after-school snacks, use food safety smarts.
Shop Smarts from Fight BAC!®:
- Choose pasteurized milk and juice. Pasteurization significantly reduces the risk of foodborne illness. Juice that has not been pasteurized is sold in some grocery stores, health food stores, cider mills and farm markets and must carry a warning that it has not been pasteurized. Double check to be sure you include only pasteurized milk or juice in your child's lunch box.
- Check for bruised or damaged fresh fruits and vegetables. Buy those that have the least damage. That's where pests and bacteria can more easily reside.
- Choose only refrigerated fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. Don't buy fresh-cut items that are not refrigerated.
- Keep fresh fruits and vegetables separate from household chemicals and raw foods such as meat, poultry and seafood—when they're in the cart, at checkout, and when bagged.
- Luncheon meat should be consumed within 3-5 days once opened. Unopened luncheon meat can be kept refrigerated for up to two weeks unless advised differently by the manufacturer.
Additional food safety tips, downloadable activities for kids and interactive games are available on the fully searchable www.fightbac.org. Visit www.fightbac.org today to learn how you can become a BAC! Fighter and join in the effort to prevent foodborne illness in your home and community.
The Partnership for Food Safety Education unites industry associations, professional societies in food science, nutrition and health, consumer groups and the United States Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency and from the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, to educate the public about safe food handling and preparation. The Partnership, a non-profit organization, is the creator and steward of the Fight BAC!® campaign, a food safety education program developed using scientifically based recommendations and resulting from an extensive consumer research process. Fight BAC!® materials are fully accessible online at www.fightbac.org and utilized by consumers, teachers, dietitians, public health officials and extension agents across the United States.

Jan. 31, 2013
New England fishery management officials vote to impose drastic new cuts to commercial harvest of cod along Atlantic coast, saying only way to save centuries-old cod fishing industry is to sharply limit it; say cod stands on verge of extinction. MORE
Jan. 31, 2013
Op-Ed article by marine conservation biologist Callum Roberts calls on federal government to hold firm and keep thousands of square miles of ocean off New England closed to commercial fishing; contends depleted stocks of cod and other species are still recovering from over-exploitation and New Englanders must resist temptation to squander resources in a splurge that would impoverish seas and industry once again. MORE
Sep. 24, 2012
Editorial warns that New England cod populations are far below the number required for a sustainable fishery, despite conservation efforts; suggests that international rules and quotas governing cod-fishing are protecting fishermen more than cod. MORE
Feb. 12, 2012
Fishermen and federal officials are grappling with the increasingly bleak prospect of saving the historic New England cod industry from collapse amid troubles with the health of Gulf of Maine cod; meeting comes on the heels of regulators easing limits, but projections show that fishermen still face cuts to allowed catches in 2013 that most will not survive. MORE
Dec. 11, 2011
Federal regulators are considering restricting or shutting down cod fishing in the Gulf of Maine, raising fears for the future of an industry that has sustained New England for centuries; new data suggest that the status of the humble fish is much worse than previously thought; fishermen insist that there are plenty of cod and that the real problem is fuzzy science; say the data are grossly inconsistent, pointing to a 2008 federal report that concluded that Gulf of Maine cod, though historically overfished, were well on the way to recovery.
