Although there are 26 other greens, one parcel of bentgrass stands out at Hilton Chicago/Indian Lakes Resort's golf complex. It is a true island green that is approachable only by bridge or conveniently placed hovercraft. This is one of many spectacular course details that populate Blackhawk Trace Golf Club's three 9-hole courses, each of which comes in at more than 3,400 yards and challenges golfers to a par 36. Renowned golf-course architect Rick Jacobson extensively renovated the links in 2002, and rather than cover blades of grass in mascara and call it a makeover, he decided to transform the 1960s-era bunkers into dramatically sloping sand traps and install four tee options at nearly every hole. Jacobson also switched the greens, tees, and fairways to bentgrass and incorporated fescue grasses to add texture and flavor for grazing golf carts.
Before conquering the courses, players can stretch out swings at the club's extensive practice facilities, which include 46 all-grass hitting stations, two large putting greens, and practice bunkers. Golfers looking for guidance or a professional friend can employ the talents of onsite PGA instructors for lessons. After a long day of strutting after putts, players can head to the Masters Clubhouse to refuel with sandwiches and flatbreads.
Course at a Glance:
Slice-prone swings and inconsistent putting strokes meet their demise at Green Valley Golf Range, where guests crush golf balls at an 80-station driving range and sends putts through a tricky mini-golf course. The range boasts towering lights and 20 covered, heated hitting stalls to furnish practice at night, during inclement weather, and through the eternal ice age of the future. The practice facility?which also encompasses a putting green, chipping area, and sand trap?replaces its golf balls every year, ensuring quality equipment for players' enjoyment. The practice facility also houses a virtual golf entertainment experience that allows golfers to play I-tee golf games in which they can compete on courses around the world.
A lighthouse, a pint-sized car, and other old-fashioned obstacles await players at the mini-golf course, a circuit best conquered with laser-like focus attained with the help of Green Valley's complimentary coffee. Clubbers can replenish energy stores zapped after a long day of practice or bench-pressing their driver with a soft-serve ice-cream cone, a slice of Rosati's pizza, or a hot dog, all of which are sold in the Green Valley Ice Cream Shoppe. Adult libations including beer and wine are also available while big-screen TVs broadcast the latest sporting events.
Staffed by experienced golfing professionals and computers who've sworn allegiance to the three laws of golfing robotics, GolfTEC's motion sensors and high-speed cameras monitor swings and break down each individual's form on a high-definition video display. Sensors chirp with approval whenever they detect the perfect stroke or an especially witty golfing joke. GolfTEC's certified personal coaches will point out flaws and strengths while providing golfers with tips on how to permanently improve their game from tee to green.
In the winter, it looks as though an alien spacecraft has touched down at Links & Tees Golf Facility. Within this futuristic structure—actually an inflatable golf dome whose three layers trap heat—PGA professionals teach lessons and golfers practice their snow-clearing swings. This impressive indoor facility—along with an outdoor driving range that boasts more than 50 hitting stations, a 10,000-square foot putting green, and a 5,000-square foot chipping green—has repeatedly landed Links & Tees among Golf Range Magazine's Top 100 Golf Practice Facilities.
After warming up at the range, golfers can take to the tees and bentgrass fairways of a nine-hole executive course, where three ponds snatch up balls and a smattering of sand bunkers tempt hungry golfers to stop and dig for clams. They can also head for Putter's Peak, an 18-hole miniature-golf course where tiki statues line fairways, the rumble of a Lilliputian waterfall fills the air, and putters must venture into the dark depths of a cave. After either a miniature or executive round of golf, visitors can pull off the plate armor that protects against mis-aimed balls, put down their clubs, and pick up a hot dog or pizza at the 4,000-square-foot clubhouse.
Course at a Glance: * Nine-hole, par-27 course * Length of 1,709 yards * Course rating of 35.5 * Slope rating of 113 * Link to course layout
Since 1976, Riedy's Tee Time Golf Range's PGA professional instructors have helped people shave strokes from their games on an outdoor driving range. Ultramodern mats anchor golfers as they grace Riedy's well-manicured grass tees with golf balls plucked from a bucket or the throat pouch of a pelican. Always onsite, Reidy's instructors can aid players in achieving the ideal arch for their swing or understanding the basics of swing mechanics during personalized lessons.
Of the 58 acres that make up River Bend Golf Course, nearly 10% lie within federally protected wetlands, which course architect William J. Spears incorporated into eight of the course's nine holes. When water isn't a concern, the par 36 course and its bent-grass tees, greens, and fairways challenge players to make decisions involving course management, club selection, and which divot to bring in to the office for show-and-tell.

Justin Bieber has been hard at work on his new album, 'Believe,' and on Tuesday the singer got a special visit from his famous friend Lil Wayne.
Weezy dropped by to see The Biebs and the two were snapped while the 17-year-old was taking time to chill out on his skateboard. "Good time in the studio last night," Justin wrote on February 1. "Back at it tonight. oh yeah...and big bro came thru..."
JB posted a photo of himself and Lil Wayne before sending another tweet and a second pic to clarify: "And when i say big bro i mean @LilTunechi . #BELIEVE IT #family."
We're not sure if the rapper laid vocals down during his visit, though. Despite their friendship, Weezy said last summer that he wouldn't collaborate with Justin because he didn't want to mess with his image. Whether he's sticking to what he said remains to be seen.
Do you think Lil Wayne should release a song with Justin Bieber? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Vladimir Malakhov
Gabriel Sargissian
Fabiano Caruana
Ivan Salgado Lopez
Ivan Cheparinov may never be as good as the man he often works for, but he is a very good player in his own right — which he proved again by easily winning the 4th Ruy Lopez Festival, which ended Friday.
Cheparinov, a Bulgarian grandmaster, is the principal second of Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, the No. 2 player in the world, who recently lost a world championship match to Viswanathan Anand of India, the current titleholder. Though Cheparinov has slipped in the world rankings to 101 from a high of 19 in January 2008, he is capable of hot streaks, which is what happened at the festival in Spain. He seems to like the tournament, as he also won it last year.
In this year's tournament, Cheparinov finished with 6 points (out of a possible 7). Vladimir Malakhov of Russia, the top seed, and Fabiano Caruana, who has joint United States and Italian citizenship, but plays for Italy, finished tied for second and third with 4.5 points each. Read more…

Initiative Seeks to Eliminate Espionage and Bad Ethics in Defense Contractors
Project Global Centurion initiative launched by Grand ISS and GC&M Services
St. Petersburg, FL – August 15, 2007: Building on their respective strengths, Grand ISS, a global provider of security, risk management, private intelligence and investigatory solutions, and Government Contracting and Marketing Services (GCandMServices), a leading Florida-based U.S. government consultancy company, today announced Project Global Centurion. The jointly developed project is a disciplined risk mitigation solution designed specifically for defense industry and homeland security government contractors. Commenting on the initiative, Ralph V. Frasca, Jr., Grand ISS' President and CEO said, "The alliance comes at a time when government regulators around the world are putting emphasis on contract integrity, illegal contracting practices, and procurement fraud.â€
GCandMServices offers compliance counseling and marketing strategies to commercial companies for both prime and sub government contracting roles. "We advise and assist our clients on such issues as the solicitation, evaluation, certification, regulatory, and statutory requirements that apply to their bids, proposals, teaming agreements, and subcontracted services,†said Awilda Lopez-Cepero, CEO of GCandMServices. "We are instrumental in counseling contractors and understand the regulatory climate; we also excel in identifying areas of risk that can place the overall integrity of a contracted project in jeopardy. In these vital areas, we welcome Grand ISS' participation in undertaking investigations and implementing preventative measures that provide added value to our services.â€
"We are pleased to be partnering with GCandMServices to explore a variety of ways to address today's potential threats, fraud, and abuse challenges, as well as regulatory non-compliance issues posed by external or subcontracting companies, vendors, consultants and employees,†said Steven C. Purl, COO of Grand ISS. Project Global Centurion benefits prime government contractors by taking aim at all types of illegal related practices including product substitution, defective pricing, exploiting classified or sensitive information, inconsistent pricing, accounting fraud, and illicit foreign military sales. "It is no exaggeration to say that the consequences of these types of activities can be absolutely devastating to government agencies or prime contractors in terms of cost, time, and reputational damage,†noted Mr. Purl.
The project is dedicated to exposing acts of sabotage, espionage, theft of data, waste, fraud, and corruption; and is focused on dealing with Truth in Negotiation Act issues, ITAR, security clearance compliance, suspected contract overcharging, and false evaluations. "Preventing and detecting threats is essential in this particular environment, which is exemplified by the fact that employees of government contractors are responsible for about 24% of espionage cases,†Mr. Purl said. "Increased awareness combined with the right resources can mitigate risk and uncertainty.â€

Bhuvneshwar shines in Sunrisers much-needed win
A fine bowling performance by pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar helped Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Rajasthan Royals by 32 runs for a much-needed win in their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera here Thursday.
Sunrisers Hyderabad jumped two places to fifth to keep their campaign on track while Rajasthan Royals suffered their first loss in their newly-adopted home.
In a low-scoring encounter, Kumar picked up four for 14 and Dale Steyn got two for 31 as Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers atoned for the poor performance of their batsmen.
Rajasthan Royals batsmen had to blame themselves as they gifted away their wickets while chasing a small target of 135 and were bowled out for 102 runs with a ball to spare.
Kumar struck in the very first over to get rid of opening batsman Ajinkya Rahane for a duck and did well in the death overs as he picked up three wickets in the 18th over for just two runs.
In fact, Sunrisers Hyderabad pacers were superb in the death overs as they conceded just 23 runs in the last five overs.
Steve Smith was the top scorer with just 22 while Sanju Samson made run-a-ball 16.
Earlier, inspiring bowling performances by Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Watson and Rajat Bhatia restricted Sunrisers Hyderabad to 134 for nine in 20 overs.
Watson picked up three for 13 while Bhatia also got three for 23. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, skipper Shikhar Dhawan was the top scorer with 33 while Irfan Pathan remained unbeaten on 21.
Dhawan had given the Sunrisers Hyderabad a good starr with his brief 20-ball knock that had seven fours. But after he departed in the fourth over, the Sunrisers innings lost momentum and wickets kept falling in regular intervals.
Dhawan lauded the team for a comprehensive win
"We didn't have too many runs, so I said it was up to us if we played like warriors or losers," he said.
"The boys really responded really well. The wicket turned, especially Mishra turned the ball and also Karan," he added.
Kumar, who was adjudged Man of the Match, said he has improved bowling in the death overs.
"Since coming into T20s, I have improved a lot in the death overs. The seam position is my strength in the early overs," he said.
Watson took the responsibility for Rajasthan Royals defeat.
"We bowled extremely well. But more than anything, we misread the conditions a bit. I take the full responsibility for that as a captain. We are learning about these conditions, will get better. There weren't too many bad shots, just that the high-quality balls. They have world-class bowlers," he said.

Alright, Class: Raise your hands if you would entrust your life and the lives of your crew to a SPOT tracker.
Those of you with your hands up: Grab a pair of scissors and give yourself a vasectomy.
There is good news for you, though – the widow of Aegean skipper Theo Mavromatis (or more likely, blood-sucking lawyers at her husband's insurance company) is fighting for your right to be stupid, too.
You'll likely remember the Hunter 37 Aegean as the cruising boat that allegedly crashed into one of the Coronado Islands off of San Diego during a 'fun race' down the coast. Long-running investigations determined the problem to be one of, let's say, software – the crew likely failed to zoom in far enough on a chart plotter to see the islands, and compounded their navigational error by not keeping a lookout as they motored through the night on autopilot. All hands perished after the wreck, and multiple lawsuits have been filed against Mavromatis' estate by families and insurance companies representing his crew – just as you'd see in any accident. But now, there's something new; Ms. Mavromatis and her three children are now plaintiffs against SPOT LLC and Amazon.com, and in a lawsuit filed last week, they contend that it was SPOT's failure to make sure emergency services got to the Aegean that was at least partially at fault for Mavromatis' loss.
The family is suing for wrongful death, negligence, and breach of warranty, seeking unspecified damages and burial costs, and probably seeks millions. Assuming (and hoping) that Mavromatis, an aerospace engineer, had decent insurance coverage for his boat and life, this all smells like an insurance company casting a net for deep pockets to help defray the millions they have already paid out in this case, and they may just succeed.
Why? Because, as you can see by the screen grab above and at SPOT's page here, the company really is advertising "911/SOS Member Rescue Benefit" for just $17.95 per year. And according to the lawsuit and several investigators, the crew of Aegean pressed the SPOT rescue button at some point in the calamity, yet it took a day for anyone to come check on them. Is this some serious bullshit advertising that should absolutely be curtailed or even punished? Absolutely. Is it negligence, and did it contribute more to the death of the Aegean skipper than the fact that he ran into an island? Umm…no. Add to that the fact that SPOT requires you read and sign a dozen paragraphs on why SPOT is not really a rescue device before you sign up, and we don't think this one passes the smell test.
We're also pretty sure that Mavromatis, a longtime sailor and telecommunications/electronics consultant for Raytheon, knew the difference between a SPOT and an EPIRB, but then again, we'd be pretty sure a guy like that would know how to work a chart plotter. In the meantime, it's yet more litigation that will result in increased insurance premiums and more lawsuits down the road.
There's a thread on Aegean litigation here if you want to stay on top of it.

Yes, our old and cynical bones know that Valentine's Day is a sick scam perpetuated on us by corporate behemoths purveying billions worth of flowers, chocolate, and horrible movies on all of us. But there's something incredibly cute about young love, and our pal Anne at the King Harbor Youth Foundation sent us this adorable photo from yesterday's practice along with the note below. Check out the KHYF here and donate something if you like what they're doing. We do.
Attached is a photo of the Valentine's Day proposal one of our high school racers made to his Valentine (also one of our sailors) during practice yesterday. It was a team effort to put the message on the spinnaker, and she said "yes." Young nautical love; be still my heart! -Anne

When Franck Cammas and VPLP put together the ORMA 60 Groupama 2 in 2004, the Class was already on its way to extinction. But Franck's square-dimensioned, canting rig, lifting-foiled trimaran was so much faster, more innovative, and more expensive than the rest of the fleet that her launch pretty much ended the ORMA class right then and there. The history is more detailed of course (and you can learn almost everything about the ORMA class here) but suffice to say, G2 is the fastest 60 foot pickle fork ever built. And until the AC72s came around, she was still probably the world's fastest seagoing multihull in light air.
Now that G2 is long past her 'sell by' date, the former BMW/Oracle trainer has made her way to San Diego, where she'll be replacing the ex-Waterworld ORMA of Loe Enloe, who has gotten everything he can out of the ex-Waterworld boat. That one's on the market for peanuts (pony up, SoCal sailors!), and we can now expect Enloe to crush and smash every West Coast record there is…provided she stays right side up. Great shot thanks to Dal at Bayshots – plenty more of his excellent San Diego work here.
And hit this link to see just how fast the G2 goes in a moderate breeze.

On The Hard alerted us to this mainstream story about David Crosby and Mayan, affectionately known as 'the yacht that inspired a thousand songs'. From the WSJ story:
When I was 11 years old, my parents wanted me to do something besides get in trouble. So they enrolled me in sailing classes at the Sea Shell Association in Santa Barbara, Calif. From the moment I climbed into that 8½-foot dinghy in 1952, I knew instinctively what to do and sensed I had done it before. I was a natural sailor, and it's one of the reasons I later wrote "Déjà Vu."
Sailing alone in that boat for the first time was a transforming experience. I came back the next day and every day after that. Sailing became one of the main streams of my life. I suppose my father was an influence. I remember seeing a photo of him at home sailing a big boat to Bermuda in his 20s. I still have it.
"High Noon" also left a mark. My father, Floyd Crosby, was the film's cinematographer. I didn't realize until later, but "High Noon" had blossomed in my head. The movie is technically a Western, but it's really about an honorable, stand-up guy who sticks to his principles—even when he has to go it alone.
Before long I sailed that dinghy around the harbor alone, getting as close as I could to the big sailboats anchored there—particularly a beautiful wooden schooner that I learned later was designed by John Alden, one of the great American yacht architects. I loved its design and wanted to see how the different lines and sails worked. As my confidence grew, I started sailing to the harbor's outer buoy. That scared everyone and they tossed me out of the club.
My next big sailing experience came in 1967, after I was thrown out of the Byrds. I borrowed $25,000 from my friend Peter Tork, who was in the Monkees, and went down to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., looking for a schooner. I found one identical to the John Alden-designed boat I had seen years earlier and bought it.
The 74-foot boat was named Mayan and was built in 1947 with Honduran mahogany. The cabins below can sleep eight, but six people is more ideal—four to keep watch and take turns manning the sails and two who can alternate cooking and cleaning.
After I took possession, I had to learn how to sail it. I had never sailed anything larger than 8½ feet, and you need a good wheel-hand—that's me—and two good deckhands to handle the sails. So I made friends with lots of experienced sailors who wanted to sail on the boat, and they taught me everything I needed to know.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Shane Doan, the Coyotes' captain and longest-suffering member, does not often mention his religion publicly. He does not have a Tim Tebow-style celebration upon scoring a goal. But he does writes Bible verse on his hockey stick.
Asked if there's a Bible passage that best describes the plight of the Coyotes, he said: "I like Romans 8:28. It says, 'In all things, God works for good for those who love him and seek his purpose.' Everything that's gone on with this organization has worked for good. All things do, and that's one of the things I've kind of tried to hold onto for 17 years."
Standing in front of his locker after a recent skate at the team's Glendale facility, he was clearly the go-to guy for the news media, looking right at home in the center of the scrum, graciously answering reporters' questions with a smile and aw-shucks demeanor that runs counter to his rugged ice play. It's no accident that in a players poll, Doan (along with teammate Ray Whitney) was named one of the league's nicest players.
Doan, 35, has stayed loyal to the Coyotes for all 15 years of their roller-coaster existence and two in Winnipeg before that. He is from Halkirk, Alberta (population 121), where he grew up on a Christian ranch camp for children that his parents owned and operated — a place that offered everything from horseback riding to archery. When Shane was 12, Johnny Cash and his band performed for his family at the ranch, called Circle Square, because they had time off between concerts in Edmonton and Calgary, according to a Sports Illustrated article.

Press release from the office of Irving H. Picard, SIPA Trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS)
Aggregate Distributions Total Near $6 Billion
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – May 5, 2014 – Irving H. Picard, Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) Trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, said today that the fourth pro rata interim distribution of recoveries from the Customer Fund to eligible BLMIS customers commenced on Monday, May 5, 2014.
In the fourth interim distribution, the SIPA Trustee is distributing approximately $351.6 million on a pro rata basis to BLMIS account holders with allowed claims, bringing the amount distributed to eligible claimants to almost $6 billion, which includes approximately $812.2 million in committed advances from the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).
"Today's distribution is another important step forward for our recovery efforts," said Mr. Picard. "We are already looking ahead to additional, significant recoveries and distributions later this year. While more than 1,100 victims have already recovered the full principal they lost in the fraud, we are working to restore all of the stolen funds to all of the approved claimants as quickly as possible."
"SIPC is pleased with the progress made in the BLMIS liquidation under SIPA," said SIPC President and CEO Stephen P. Harbeck. "SIPC has worked closely with Mr. Picard and his legal team, toward the achievement of important milestones like the one being announced today. SIPC's support of the recovery initiative will continue, as the Trustee and his team pursue our shared goal of a 100 percent return of property to Madoff customers."
"We are pleased that the recovery efforts have resulted in another significant distribution," said David J. Sheehan, Chief Counsel to the SIPA Trustee. "We remain optimistic that we will achieve additional recoveries from litigation and settlements and hope to be able to soon release funds held in reserve for pending appeals for the benefit of Madoff customers with allowed claims."
The fourth distribution will be paid on claims relating to 1,081 BLMIS accounts, to record holders of allowed claims as of April 17, 2014. Allowed claims will receive 3.18 percent of the allowed claim amount of each individual account, unless the claim is fully satisfied.
The average payment for an allowed claim issued in the fourth distribution will total approximately $325,000. The smallest payment totals approximately $500.00 and the largest payment is approximately $77.8 million.
Funds from the $325 million settlement with JPMorgan Chase, other smaller settlements and recoveries that have been released from reserves through the end of March 2014 comprise the bulk of the funds to be distributed in the fourth distribution.
Currently, the SIPA Trustee has allowed 2,518 claims related to 2,190 BLMIS accounts. Of these accounts, 1,129 accounts will be fully satisfied following the fourth interim distribution. All allowed claims totaling $925,000 or less will be fully satisfied after the distribution.
To date, the SIPA Trustee has recovered or reached agreements to recover approximately $9.800 billion since his appointment in December 2008. These recoveries exceed similar efforts related to prior Ponzi scheme recoveries, in terms of dollar value and percentage of stolen funds recovered. Ultimately, 100 percent of the SIPA Trustee's recoveries will be allocated to the Customer Fund for distribution to BLMIS customers with allowed claims.
Prior distributions by the SIPA Trustee to BLMIS accounts with allowed claims are as follows:
• The first pro rata interim distribution, which commenced on October 5, 2011, has distributed approximately $516.3 million, representing 4.602 percent of the allowed claim amount of each individual account, unless the claim is fully satisfied.
• The second pro rata interim distribution, which commenced on September 19, 2012, has distributed approximately $3.747 billion, representing 33.556 percent of the allowed claim amount of each individual account, unless the claim is fully satisfied.
• The third pro rata interim distribution, which commenced on March 29, 2013, has distributed approximately $523.2 million, representing 4.721 percent of the allowed claim amount of each individual account, unless the claim is fully satisfied.
More information on overall recoveries to date and the ongoing liquidation can be found on the SIPA Trustee's website: www.madofftrustee.com.
Messrs. Picard and Sheehan would like to thank BakerHostetler's Seanna Brown and Heather Wlodek, who worked on the fourth pro rata interim distribution and related filings, as well the SIPA Trustee's legal teams worldwide. They would also like to thank Vineet Sehgal and his colleagues at AlixPartners for their ongoing work on the SIPA liquidation.

We've been giving you lots of fun and festive party dress ideas recently, but Miranda Lambert did the work for us this week! In the past few days, the country superstar has dazzled in two sparkly mini-dresses, perfect for nights spent sipping some bubbly or hanging underneath the mistletoe.
At the Dec. 3 taping of the CMT Artist of the Year Awards (left), Lambert strutted her stuff on the red carpet in a glittery champagne dress by Jovani, paired with gold platform peep-toe heels. (If you like the look, try copying it with this $168 dress by Marc New York.)

Buckwheat and Oat Blackberry Crumble
Blackberry crumble was a pretty significant part of my childhood. Late Summer and Autumn in England means there are blackberries growing absolutely everywhere and it is a rite of passage to go out there and pick them! Blackberries are both sweet and tart at the same time and have a gorgeous rich purple juice when heated. The soft texture and sharpness is a delicious contrast to the sweet crumble mixture and caramelised banana slices on top.
This makes a perfect single serve breakfast for one, or scale it up and make it as a comforting winters dessert. I love mine with a little soy/coconut yoghurt.
Serves 1
You will need:
25g oats
30g buckwheat flour
1 1/2 tbsps (15g) solid coconut oil or vegan butter
1 banana
1 cup blackberries
Preheat your oven to 180C. Using your fingers, rub the buckwheat flour and coconut oil/vegan butter together so it forms a breadcrumby texture. Stir in the oats. Cut the banana in half, mashing one half and cutting the other into slices for decoration on top. Stir the mashed banana into the crumble mixture, adding a tbsp of sugar for extra sweetness if you are making it for a dessert.
Pour the blackberries into the bottom of a baking dish and spread out evenly. Using a spoon, spread the crumble mixture evenly over the top of the berries, smoothing it down with a spoon. Press the banana slices on top and bake for 30 minutes. Serve warm with soy/coconut yoghurt

Chickpea Flour and Veggie Fritters
These make a wonderful starter for noodle or stirfry dish and they're just delicious on their own too!
Makes 6 fritters or 12 bite sized tempura veggies
You will need:
2/3 cup chickpea (besan) flour
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp tumeric
2 cups mixed vegetables chopped into small chunks
1/2 onion, cut into thick slices
Whisk the chickpea flour, water and salt together until it makes a smooth batter. Add in the vegetables and mix well until they are well coated in the batter. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp of coconut oil and let the oil get hot, then using a spoon, evenly drop the batter onto the pan. Let them cook for about 3 minutes, swirling the oil around the pan to ensure the base gets crispy. Using a spatula, flip the fritters and allow to brown on the other side. Repeat until all the mixture has been used up, adding more oil to the pan between batches

Raspberry Jam Tart
Makes 1 medium sized tart
You will need:
30g brown rice flour
20g cornmeal powder (you can put polenta in the food processor for this)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
100g of cold white potato, mashed until smooth
80g vegan 'butter' such as Trex vegetable oil spread (it needs to be a solid fat for making pastry)
1/3 cup gelatine free natural raspberry jam
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
Preheat your oven to 180C. Flour your bench top and rolling pin well and gently roll out the pastry out so it is flat but still quite thick. Don't worry about making it neat or the exact size of the tin, as you can press the pastry into the tart tin to make it fit perfectly and have a nice crust. Using your fingers, ensure the pastry fits the tin perfectly and form a crust by pulling the pastry up the sides of the tin with your fingers.
Place the raspberry jam and frozen raspberries in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, then simmer until it makes a thick raspberry sauce. Allow to cool slightly, then pour into the tart base and spread over evenly. Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes, turning midway through cooking to ensure it browns evenly.

Tomato and Dijon Mustard Tart
My Mum first made this delicious summer dish back in about 2009 when we were visiting my aunt in France. I loved the combination of the creaminess and the spiciness of the mustard combined with the juicy tomato. It's so simple and tasty and with a little manipulation of the pastry recipe, very easily gluten free and vegan!
Gluten free pastry is a nightmare and I have never been able to make a decent one. That is until my mother and I discovered a recipe in an Irish cookbook for an apple pie where you put mashed potato in the pastry. Sounds bizarre, right? Some internet research later we discovered that this genuinely is used by people and it yields fantastic results! The mashed potato makes it a lot more moist and easy to roll out, so you get a perfect result. Plus the pastry gets lovely and brown and crispy too!
Makes 1 medium sized tart
You will need:
30g brown rice flour
20g cornmeal powder (you can put polenta in the food processor for this)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
100g of cold white potato, mashed until smooth
80g vegan 'butter' such as Trex vegetable oil spread (it needs to be a solid fat for making pastry)
2 large tomatoes, sliced thinly
1 1/2-2 tbsps dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
Add the flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and cornmeal powder into a large bowl. Using your fingers, rub the vegan butter into the flour mixture until it makes a breadcrumby consistency. Mix in the mashed potato using your hands, roll into a ball and chill wrapped in cling wrap for 30 minutes. Remove from fridge, knead a little and place in the fridge to cool uncovered on a plate for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180C. Flour your bench top and rolling pin well and gently roll out the pastry out so it is flat but still quite thick. Don't worry about making it neat or the exact size of the tin, as you can press the pastry into the tart tin to make it fit perfectly and have a nice crust.
Spread the dijon mustard over the base, then layer your slices of tomato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for about 30 minutes, turning the tin around halfway to ensure it bakes evenly.

Mix the mustard into the dressing also. Chop the cool potatoes into bite sized pieces and put into a large bowl. Add the creamy dressing, chopped onion, celery salt and the salt and pepper and mix well. Leave to chill in the fridge until ready to eat

Vegan Coleslaw
Coleslaw is a delicious addition to any salad meal- whether you have it in a sandwich or with crusty fresh bread, with some boiled new potatoes, sweet potato fries or some falafel. It's crunchy and creamy and packed full of flavour.

1/2 white cabbage, shredded finely
1/2 onion, chopped finely

Recap: Twins 3, Indians 1
SportsDirect Inc.
Recap: Twins 3, Indians 1
Twins 3, Indians 1: Rookie Danny Santana ripped a triple among his three hits and scored twice while Anthony Swarzak recorded the win in his first start in nearly two years as host Minnesota claimed the rubber match of the three-game series.
Oswaldo Arcia belted a solo homer for the Twins, who improved to 2-4 on their 10-game homestand and have split the first 10 meetings with their American League Central rival. Brian Dozier slapped the go-ahead RBI double with two out in the fifth inning and Sam Fuld added an RBI single in the victory.
Jose Ramirez had an RBI double down the left-field line in the third inning for Cleveland after being recalled from Triple-A Columbus earlier in the day. The Indians mustered little else and dropped their first series since losing two of three at Seattle from June 27-29.
After the teams scratched for one run apiece during the third, Minnesota seized the advantage two innings later as Dozier plated Santana with a double to right. Arcia added an insurance run in the sixth after depositing a 2-2 fastball from Trevor Bauer (4-5) over the wall in right field for his sixth homer - and first since June 25.
With Kyle Gibson scratched due to a balky back, Swarzak (2-0) allowed one run on two hits in five innings while making his first start since October 2012. Four relievers bridged the gap to Glen Perkins, who struck out two in the ninth for his 24th save.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Cleveland OF Michael Bourn ran during pregame for the third straight day and did not report any issue. Bourn has been sidelined since July 5 with a hamstring injury. ... Bauer permitted three runs on six hits in as many innings to take the loss for the Indians, who wrap up their 11-game road trip by opening a four-game series in Kansas City on Thursday. ...

Dear Goldenteak,
We just received our deep seating set and I had to write to tell you how pleased my husband and I were with the quality of the furniture. The teak color is a gorgeous honey and the cushions were very thick and of a wonderful quality. I had spent weeks looking at different home furniture websites and browsing high end home catalogs looking for teak furniture, but we just weren't ready to commit so much money on a sofa, loveseat, chair, coffee table and end table. My lucky day came when I found your site and decided to order. We can't recommend your products enough and we are so glad we ordered our items from you. The shipping was incredibly fast and the assembly was very easy. Thank you for such a wonderful set. We can't wait to have our company over this summer! S.H. PA
Love our Goldenteak sofa and chairs!
We had previously purchased a teak
dining table and chairs from a local
store and were unhappy with the
quality and frustrated with a
difficult assembly. Then we found
Goldenteak online and ordered a deep
seating sofa and two matching chairs.
They were delivered in a timely manner
and arrived in great condition.
Assembly was easy although it really
helped to look online to get the full
instructions. We LOVE the way the set
looks; we love its quality;and we love
how comfortable it is! I suspect there
will be lots of naps on the porch from
now on.

Additionally, focus groups and surveys involving BYU-Idaho students were also conducted to elicit their input. These efforts occurred in February and March of 2012, under the auspices of Academic Technology Services.

Re: Prefs
I had to delete the fire.plist in order to get it to stop crashing due to AOL problems. AOL and firewalls don't play nice.
I later used the dev tools to use plist editor to just edit out the AOL information. That way I didn't have to re-enter all of my account data.

- Aqua Illumination Nano Wire Hanging Kit
Aqua Illumination Sol LED Mounting Rails
Starting at: $29.99
ReefKeeper ALC Dimmable T5 & Aqua Illumination Sol LED Controller - Digital Aquatics$79.99
Easy and Clean looking mount By Ken on 1/1/2013Ken would recommend this product to a friendI was not into the stock AI Sol mount for my tank. It was bulky and did not center the light on my Nuvo 16. The wire hanging kit solved all of that. It takes maybe 10 minutes to install and looks incredibly clean -the discrete stainless parts fade into the background. Also, you get precise height adjustment with the wire locking mechanism. My little Nano Sol now floats above the water rather than awkwardly hanging from a bracket.
There are no videos related to this product.
Allows suspension of Aqua Illumination Nano LED lighting fixtures. Self-locking gripper allow easy and precise height adjustment.

There are rumors, and there is stuff with teeth. This may have teeth. The Buffalo News has reported that the Jacobs family is the front-runner to buy the Buffalo Bills. But, it's not so cut and dry.
The Jacobs family has ties to the NHL's Boston Bruins, and have been on a short list of local people with pockets deep enough to keep the Bills in Buffalo. The NFL does not allow for an individual or group to hold a controlling interest in more than one team in an NFL city. Jeremy Jacobs is worth a reported $3.1 Billion, and is the owner of the Bruins. That could be a big red flag with the NFL. However, as stated in the Buffalo News article, there are options for the Jacobs family. They could sell the Bruins, an action I believe to be unlikely.
One likely possibility is that Jeremy Jacobs has his sons take control of the Bills, removing them from anything with a Bruins letter head. If that is done the NFL would likely approve the sale of the team. The league has gone on record several times stating that the Buffalo Bills should stay in Buffalo. The league aside there is political motivation here as well; Sen. Charles E. Schumer, has stated that any party looking to move the team out of Buffalo will not have his offices help.
The lease's structure and the non-relocation agreement structure is a major inhibitor for someone to come in and buy the team with the speculative expectation of relocating the team to a different market," said Marc Ganis of SportsCorp Ltd., a Chicago sports consulting firm with strong connections in the NFL. [TBN]
This is nothing more than one more name in the hat, but this one has been rumored before. It's clear that Mary Wilson is not going to hold on the Bills very long, and a fast sale is most likely desired. However, it's unlikely anything would be official until March.
