text: Observatory (LIGO). Extrasolar planets have been discovered, but not necessarily where they were expected to be in their stellar systems. Protoplanetary disks have been found around many young stars. What is the nature of the "dark matter" and "dark energy," if any really exists? A complete theory of star formation still eludes our grasp and, with it, both a complete theory of galaxy formation and a complete theory for the formation of large-scale structures in the universe, although significant strides have been made in showing that gravitational instability is the dominant process.

The bad quarter and slow start bit the Western Illinois football team again on Saturday night as the Leathernecks (3-6, 1-4) fell to Missouri State 38-27.
Missouri State scored 21 quick points, taking control of the game early.
"We lost the momentum quick and they gained it," Western Illinois defensive lineman Chip Holtschlag said. "They got ahold of the lead and it was hard for us to bounce back after that."
After the quick 21 points by the Bears, the Leathernecks chipped away, cutting the deficit to 21-13.
"We knew we shouldn't be here, we worked too hard and eventually it showed," receiver Hi-C Scott said. "We started to comeback, got it down to 21-13 at one point."
Knowing they would get the second-half kickoff, the Leathernecks looked content to take that deficit into halftime, running the ball on their final drive.
But Missouri State used its timeouts to force Western Illinois to punt, and on that punt, the Bears got a hand on the ball and saw the partially-blocked kick returned 42 yards for a touchdown and a 28-13 Missouri State advantage.
"Special teams are one-third of the football game and that made a big play there," quarterback Trenton Norvell said. "You can't do much as an offense, just keep going out and executing, but we wouldn't of even had to punt if we would have converted on third down."
The Leathernecks were able to make it a one score game again, cutting it to 28-20 on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Norvell to Fredson Salomon.
But again, another big play in special teams turned the game back in favor of the Bears.
"We got it back to 28-20, then we gave up good field position on a kickoff return," Western Illinois coach Bob Nielson said. "They only had to drive 50 yards, we can't give up that kind of field position on kickoff returns because all of a sudden we're two scores down again.
"Both times we got ourselves within one score we made mistakes in the kicking game. When you're battling back, you can't make mistakes."

AMD recently announced their Radeon R9 285 graphics card, this was their first major graphics card announcement since the R9 295X2 back in April. Looking at the naming of the card we expect it to be a replacement for the R9 280, but is it really? It has the same number of shaders, TMUs, and ROPs as the R9 280, but has a narrower memory bus at 256bit (vs 364bit of R9 280X) and less VRAM (2 GB vs 3 GB), although that memory is clocked higher (5.5 GHz vs 5.0 GHz). Looking at the specifications you may be wondering what what is the point? Well unlike the R9 280 which is built on AMD's Tahiti silicon, the R9 285 is built on the brand new Tonga silicon. While it is still based on the same 28 nm process Tonga is said to be more efficient and also adds many of the features that we saw on the Hawaii silicon like XDMA CrossFire (no more CrossFire connectors), TrueAudio DSP, and the ability to connect 4 displays using all output connectors on the card. Today we are taking a look at Sapphire's Radeon R9 285 Dual-X OC version of the card. It will feature a slight overclock on the core clock (965 MHz vs 918 MHz) and the memory (1400 MHz vs 1375 MHz). It will also have Sapphire's Dual-X cooling solution which seems to be extremely quiet. Let's jump in and see what this card can do.

Sapphire has just added a new graphics card to their R9 290X lineup. It is the R9 290X Vapor-X Tri-X OC graphics card. The thing that sets this card apart from their other R9 290X cards is that it features vapor-chamber technology to improve cooling even more than than their current cards and this card features a factory overclock on both the GPU and the memory. The card will have a GPU frequency of 1080 MHz (80 MHz over reference) and the memory will be running at speeds of 5.64 GHz (effective). Other features of the card include a pretty sleek backplate, a Sapphire logo that lights up and even changes colors and dual BIOS support. Is this the Radeon R9 290X that you want? Read on as we take a look…

Sapphire originally released their R9 280X Vapor-X back when the R9 280X's were launched. The card was factory overclocked and featured Sapphire's Dual-X cooler. Well Sapphire is releasing a new version of the card that makes use of Sapphire's own exclusive Vapor-X cooling with its new Tri-X triple fan design. This should keep the Tahiti GPU nice a cool. On top of that this card is again factory overclocked, features Black Diamond chokes and a full Solid Cap design, and has dual BIOS support. Is this the R9 280X that you are looking for? Read on as we take a look…

Sapphire's R7 250 Ultimate graphics card is unlike most other R7 250's out there. The thing that most people will notice is that it is 100% passively cooled. This means that there are no fans at all so it will be 100% silent during operation. This makes it the perfect card for those building a silent PC or home theater PC. On top of that this card is actually based on the "Cape Verde" GPU rather than the "Oland" GPU that most R7 250's are based on. So you get 512 shader units and faster GDDR5 memory. Let's see what this passively cooled card is all about!

Here we are back with another graphics card review. Today we are taking a look at ASUS's R9 270X DirectCU II Top Graphics Card. AMD's R9 270X cards are of course based off the same 28nm Pitcairn GPU that we saw in the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition graphics card. As the name of this card indicates it will feature's ASUS's own DirectCU II cooling solution, which should offer better thermals than AMD's stock cooler while also producing less noise. This is also a TOP edition card so it is factory overclocked with the core clock being bumped up from 1050 MHz to 1120 MHz. The 2 GB of onboard GDDR5 remains at the same 5600 MHz (effective) as the reference design. Is this the R9 270X that you are looking for? Read on to find out…

Lately we have been taking a look at a lot of Radeon R9 280X graphics cards. These are based on the Tahiti GPU that was also found in AMD's Radeon HD 7900 series cards. For those not looking to spend as much money the next step down in AMD's latest graphics cards is the R9 270X/270 series. These cards are based off the Pitcairn GPU and still offer a very good price / performance ratio. Today we are looking at MSI's Radeon R9 270 Gaming graphics card. This card will feature a factory overclock and MSI's own Twin Frozr IV cooling solution. Is this the best graphics card for under $200? We are going to find out!
Dec 12, 2013 Bob Buskirk Reviews, Video Cards 0
Today we are checking out our third Radeon R9 280X graphics card. The previous two cards were from Sapphire and Gigabyte and both those cards featured factory overclocks and custom cooling solutions. That card we are taking a look at today is no different. The ASUS Radeon R9 280X DirectCU II TOP features a factory overclock up to 1070 MHz, ASUS's own DirectCU II cooling solution, DIGI+ VRM with 12-phase Super Alloy Power, and ASUS's own GPU Tweak utility for easy tuning and monitoring of the card. Will this be your choice when looking at a Radeon R9 280X? Read on and find out!

One of the best things when a new graphics card is released is waiting for custom versions of the card to come out. Many of these cards offer factory overclocks and custom cooling solutions. Not only will this give you better performance, but also quieter and more efficient cooling. Today we are taking a look at an R9 280X from Gigabyte (GV-R928XOC-3GD) which features a factory overclock of 1000 MHz core and 1100 MHz boost. Gigabyte has also installed their own custom WindForce 3X cooler, which should keep things nice and cool. Is the the R9 280X for you? Read on as we take a look…

Well AMD's R9 and R7 series cards are here and that means that video card manufacturers have released their own versions of these cards with custom PCB designs, factory overclocks and custom cooling solutions. One such company is Sapphire and today we are talking a look at their top of the line Radeon R9 280X Toxic. The card not only happens to be Sapphire's top of the line card, but also one of the most powerful R9 280X's out there! Sapphire has loaded this card with a factory overclock of 1100 MHz for the core with a 1150 MHz boost and the memory is also overclocked to 6.4 GHz (effective). They are using a custom PCB with a 10 phase power configuration that features double sided black diamond chokes and solid capacitors. Keeping everything cool is Sapphire's Tri-X coolers that is made up of two 90 mm fans and a single 80 mm fan. Is this the perfect R9 280X for you? Read on as we take a look!

NVIDIA's GeForce 700 series of cards are made up of the GTX 760, GTX 770 and GTX 780. The GTX 770 is actually based on the same GPU as the GeForce GTX 680. It makes use of the 28nm GK104 chip. This chip features 8 streaming multiprocessors (SMX units), 1536 stream processors, 1218 texture units and 32 ROPs. The GTX 770 is clocked a little higher than the GTX 680 with a 1049 MHz core clock and a boost clock of 1085 MHz. The memory is also higher at 7010 MHz (effective). With these improvements and since many companies are already used to working with the GK104 chip this should make for better performance and a more powerful card. Today we are taking a look at a GTX 770 from MSI. It is their GTX 770 Twin Frozr Gaming OC Edition which features MSI's own Twin Frozr IV cooling solution, Military Class III components and 3 different operating modes (silent, gaming & OC). Read on to see if this is the GTX 770 for you.

What is the information in a Contacts card useful for?
I have been looking at the Windows Contacts app that is part of Windows 7 off an on for awhile. I did notice that there is a tab-field for digital IDs that are associated with a card. But, I don't understand how it can be used when associated with a particular contact card.
I'm asking because I recently obtained digital IDs from Comodo for emailing from Outlook 365. I had thought that the IDs that are used in Outlook would also be added to the Contacts card that is in the Windows account that I log into when I do email (I do NOT use an email app in my Administrator account, in an effort to reduce the amount of damage a worm or Trojan can do on my machine). I found that the digital IDs were not added to my Contact card, and I also found that the export format of Outlook does not match a format that the Windows 7 Contact can read.
So I am now wondering why Microsoft included a 'basic app' - Contacts - that can't be utilized easily. It's almost like Contacts is a digital equivalent of an appendix in the human body. I did conduct several searches, but my queries did not unearth any information for attaching digital IDs to a Contacts card.
Even if Windows Contacts is used only my Windows Mail...I'm curious as to why I can't add a digital ID to a particular card. Unless...is Windows Mail the only app that can write to Contacts?

WOONSOCKET – After losing several valuable starters from last year's state championship squad, Woonsocket High coach George Coderre considers this season a rebuilding year for his Division I squad and he's not quite sure how his Villa Novans will respond against the upper-echelon of teams.
In terms of league-openers, Coderre couldn't have asked for a better way to determine the makeup of his players when they take to the courts tonight. Facing the Villa Novans at Savaria Gymasium will be perennial power Bay View Academy.
Armand J. Landini, 93, of Woonsocket, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 6, 2010 at Oakland Grove Health Center. He was the beloved husband of the late Sylvia (Troiani) Landini. Born in Woonsocket on October 16, 1917, he was the son of the late Jovanni and Carmela (Pierpaoli) Landini.
He was the loving father of Marie A. Paulhus of Yarmouth, MA and Nancy L. Landini and her husband, Gil Leclerc of Woonsocket; and his cherished three grandchildren and great-granddaughter. He was predeceased by his brothers Leno, Edelio, and Antonio Landini, and his son-in-law Lawrence R. Paulhus.
WOONSOCKET – Lillian Riel, 88, formerly of Flat St. Cumberland, died Monday at The Friendly Home surrounded by her family. She was the wife of the late Henry Riel.
Born in Bellingham, she was a daughter of the late Percy and Lumina (Champagne) Hall. She was raised in Cumberland and resided in Manville for over 50 years. She lived at Riverview Apartments in Cumberland for over 20 years.
Mrs. Riel was employed at several mills in the area and at Tupperware. She then worked as a nurse's aide at the Cumberland Sanatorium before retiring. She dedicated much of her life to being a homemaker.
Gerald G. Archambault, 85, of Woonsocket, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at the Greenville Skilled Nursing & Health Care with his family by his side. He was the beloved husband for 48 years of Lorraine (Picard) Archambault. Born in Woonsocket on March 8, 1925, he was the son of the late Louis and Justina (Guilbeault) Archambault. He was the loving father to Dennis C. Arsenault and his wife, Sandra, of Woonsocket, RI, Debra J.
WOONSOCKET – Elizabeth L. Bagshaw, 89, of Woonsocket, died November 28, 2010 at Landmark Medical Center. She was the wife of the late James H. Bagshaw who died 1971.
Born in Burrillville, she was a daughter of the late Nelson and Marie (Berube) Keable.

Cooking boring dried beans
I'm trying to do two things at once: cut down on my meat, and cut down on my sodium. The two together means dried beans.
But I have a problem. We're really big on convenience in our household, which means I'll be cooking up huge batches and IQFing them for future use, so I need neutral flavors for versatility. Another is that I'm trying to keep costs down, and if at any point preparing my dried beans becomes more expensive than canned beans I'm out, so no ham hocks and the like.
And finally, and this is the biggest one and a blasphemy, I'm sure, on this board. We like canned beans. I like my beans to be so squishy they fall apart. I like the flavor of canned beans, and I'm not sure what those flavors are. I usually eat Harris Teeter's canned black or dark red beans.
Maybe I'll branch out into other beans with time. Maybe I'll become a bean connoisseur. But for now, can you help me make bland, too-soft, every day beans?
White beans of any kind. What will add depth to your dish is carmelized onion, carrot and celery; a mirepoix cooked low and slow. With some salt and pepper, a delicious plate of beans. You could also head in France's direction: white beans again, seasoned with onion and rosemary. The above additions wouldn't hurt this either. And always, always when you have a birdy carcass on hand, or some bones to roast, do it! And make a stock out of it and use it to cook your beans down in. One caveat though; it's a long-held belief with me that beans tend to "sieze" if cooked with salt added, so make sure the stock you use is very low in sodium.
re: mamachef
Can you explain a bit what you mean by "seize?" Do you mean that they won't soften?
re: Glencora
Exactly, Glencora. In my experience a high-sodium cooking medium retards the cooking process right at the "al dente" point, which IMO beans should be cooked beyond. Many, I'm sure, would digress, and they are free to do so, but I know what I know. :-)
re: mamachef
I agree - I even tried chicken stock once and felt like it took forever for the beans to become soft.
re: mamachef
I'm with y ou on the salting of dried beans, mamachef. I also "know what I know (from experience!)
re: mamachef
I've been cooking beans for well over 50 years (pinto beans) and was taught by my mom that it is impossible to salt beans once they have been cooked, the exception being if you boil some water with salt in it, you can add for a slight improved flavor of the beans. My findings are that if you buy beans in a package, they are probably old beans and will not get as tender as you would like regardless. I always buy the beans loose in a bin and have always had excellent results. They are the younger beans with a higher turnover. Not all types of beans are offered loose. We eat a lot of pinto beans, juicy from the pot, refried, in soups and our favorite way, frijoles con chile chicharrone.
That said, for easy, tasty and good in cold weather, I either cook a pot of beans or if not able to, open a couple of cans of pinto beans, heat them then cut up fresh tomato, onions, a little cilantro and jalapeno to taste and they are delish. You asked for simple.
I make at least one batch of beans every week. I soak the beans in water overnight. In the morning, put in a saucepan, cover with water and heat to boiling. Turn down to a high simmer, add more water when needed and cook until soft. I save some of the liquid, too. Rinse the beans and they are ready to eat! I like to saute onion, garlic and sometimes jalapeno minced w/a little olive oil and cooking liquid, add some seasoning (salt, pepper, cumin, etc.) then mash with a potato masher so they are still chunky. Top with a little cilantro and sour cream - delicious alone, over rice, etc. Same method for pinto, I use rosemary and chicken stock for northern beans.
BTW, for low-sodium chili, I soak a mixture of beans overnight, cook until soft, set aside. Saute 1-2 onions and 2-4 carrots (chopped together in food processor to desired consistency) until translucent and soft. Add a chopped jalapeno and 3 cloves of garlic, cooking until fragrant. I add a restaurant-sized can of crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce (about $3 at Sam's). Then I add chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt & pepper and the beans. Heat to low boil and them simmer for about 20 minutes. It freezes very well!
re: sherrycakes
I love the big-batch beans, sherrycakes. What do you serve yours with?
re: mamachef
I usually make up a big batch of brown rice (made with chicken stock) and eat that w/the beans and chicken breast for lunch during the week. We thin the beans with some veggie stock (my son's a vegetarian) and eat it like a soup, add a little cilantro, bean burritos, beans and cornbread (ala Pioneer Woman), etc.
When I pressure-cook soaked dried beans, I get more of a canned texture than when I simmer them in a regular pot. Maybe that's because they usually get a little overcooked in my ancient pressure cooker. Or maybe it's because I don't cook them in the pressure cooker directly. I put the soaked beans in a bowl, then cover them with water to the depth of an inch. I put the bowl on a rack over a half inch of water in the pressure cooker. I do rice the same way - so I'm using the same bowl I'll be serving from and in which I'll be refrigerating any that's left over. It eliminates the need to wash the pressure cooker.
lidia bastianich does the MOST AMAZING thing with dried white beans and it is made with only pantry items. it is *always* a hit in my house. it's from her family table book and you can add a variety of things to the finished product. i put in chard or julianned zucchini.
it's really delicious.
Garlicky White Beans and Broth
For cooking the beans:
1 pound (about 2 1/2 cups) dry cannellini or other small dried white beans, soaked overnight.
4 quarts cold water, plus more if needed
3 bay leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more if needed
For the Garlicky Soffritoo
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 big garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 to 1/2 teasppon dried peperoncino (hot red pepper flakes)
Cooking the Beans:
Drain and rinse the beans and pum them in a pot with the water, bay leaves, and olive oil. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. When the water is at a full bol, set the cover ajar, adjust the heat to maintain a steady gentle boiling, and coof for an hour more, until the beans are tender.
Stir in the salt, uncover, and continue cooking at a bubbling boil for another hour or more, until the beans and broth have reduced to 3 quarts. Lower the heat as the liquid evaporates, and the soup base thickens, stirring now and then to prevent scorching.
Flavoring the Base with the Soffritto:
When the soup base if sufficiently reduced, make the soffritto. Heat the olive oil and the sliced garlic in the skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes or so, shaking the pan now and then, until the slices are sizzling. Drop in the peperoncino, stir with the garlic and cook another minute, or until the garlic is just starting to color.
From the soup pot, ladle out a cup of the simmering bean broth and pour it into the skillet. Let it sizzle and start to boil, shake and stir up the soffritto, and cook it for a couple of minutes in teh broth. Then pour it all back into the bean pot, scraping in every bit of the soffritto, or just rinse the skillet out with more broth. Simmer the soup base for another 5 mintues with the soffritto, then remover from the heat.
The base is ready for a finished soup now; or let the whole pot cool, pick out and discard teh bay leaves, and keep the soup refrigerated for 3-4 days or freeze, n filled and tightly sealed containers for 4-to 6 months.
Crock pots are second-rate for most recipes, I find, but they work wonders with beans. You don't even need to soak them....just start them on "low" early in the day (adding your aromatics--sauteed garlic, onions, carrots, maybe a hot pepper?) with plenty of water. Voila! Perfectly cooked, tender, and not broken or mushy. (don't add salt till the last few hours).
A source for wonderful bean recipes (and wonderful beans!!!) is here: www.ranchogordo.com Check out Steve Sando's blog, especially, for great recipes.
re: Beckyleach
Oh, you can start them at bed time, too, if you want some for lunch, instead. Waking to the scent of beans isn't so great (bleah....I'm a Morning Queasy Stomach person) but you get used to it.
Most of these posts are not addressing the OP's request for help recreating the mild flavor and softer texture of canned beans. S/he is not looking for YOUR favorite flavor profile.
To the OP: if you read the label on your canned beans, you will most likely find that there is a lot of salt in them (no Harris Teeter here). Even though they do not taste noticeably salty to you, you'll need to salt your beans more than you think. IMO, the best way is what Cook's Illustrated recommends, which is to salt the soaking water, but not the cooking water. However, the idea that beans won't soften if cooked in salted water has been pretty well debunked, so I cook them in the same water they soak in.
Every thread on beans contains recommendations for Rancho Gordo. I ordered a variety of beans from them several years ago. To my taste buds, they were no better than what I buy in the supermarket. YMMV. The RG prices, before shipping charges, are 3-4 times that of supermarket beans. Since OP mentions cost as a factor, that probably rules out RG.
re: greygarious
I appreciate your comments.
I have the Rancho Gordo Bean book which I bought on eBay about a year ago for a very reduced price. I suspected that there would be an imperceptible difference in quality to grocery beans. I value your experience.
They do have a variety which is hard, but not impossible, to find elsewhere, the Gigante Bean which is occasionally not available.
re: greygarious
Did you try the Good Mother Stallards? The giant Christmas limas? The white teparies? The Eye of the Goat beans? Some of the amazingly interesting, indigenous and rare varieties he's helping to bring back from the brink of extinction? Some of Rancho Gordo's beans are very, very unusual--and with that distinction often comes amazingly different and delicious flavors.
I agree, however: if you're going to buy plain old pintos, or garbanzos, or cannellini's, might as well stick to something local and cheaper (unless they're old; RG's are always very, very fresh).
But, if like us, you want to experience the FULL RANGE of flavor that beans can and do possess, he's the best source around. I don't consider the $4 per bag price exorbitant, given their unique characteristics and extraordinary flavor (the Mother Stallards, for instance, need no seasoning whatsoever but salt, and are so incredibly flavorful the family fights over the last serving) and the fact that there's a flat rate shipping fee of just $8 ( and I stock up!) to anywhere in the country.
re: Beckyleach
Oh, to list my "experience": I've ordered probably 10-15 pounds of Rancho Gordo beans every year for three years, so far. Never had a boring bean. (I would not bother to order the pintos again, however...they're not much different from freshly harvested pintos, anywhere. ) They cook in about 2/3rds the amount of time as beans from my local grocery stores, too.
Add some crushed red pepper or commercial chili powder to the beans. I usually do not advocate the use of chili powder, but some people like easy cooking as opposed to creative cooking.
A seasoning known as Italian Seasoning, a mixture of about 6 herbs, may help along with a can or 2 of diced tomatoes.
I would use the basic recipe from Rick Bayless. I too like soft beans, so I cook them longer than the recipe suggests. these beans are basic, but you can eat as is or then doctor them up after you defrost them. I freeze these in ziplocs with some liquid. If by IQF you mean freezing dry beans individually, I wonder if that wouldn't make them dry, but I have not tried it.
1 lb dried beans. I have followed the same method with pintos, kidney, small red, and black.
rinse and pick through. I never soak.
Finely chop one yellow onion and cook over medium high heat in 2-3 T of oil for about 10 minutes, until golden and a little brown. add beans and enough water to cover by an inch. Simmer for 1-2 hours depending on age of beans, size, etc. I partially cover sometimes. the beans should be nearly to your preferred texture. add salt and cook an additional 30 minutes. make sure the beans remain covered by water; add more if necessary. once the beans are cooked though, you can boil off some of the water if necessary.
I do this too - cook large quantities of "boring" beans for other uses during the week when time is short.
I swear by a pressure cooker. I don't do anything fancy, just rinse the beans, put them in the cooker, add some oil (to prevent foaming, supposedly), salt and water. Cook at pressure for 25 to 30 minutes, let cool, and there you go. They're plenty soft but not broken up because they're not agitating in the pot.
I have a Mirro-matic pressure cooker that must be at least 35 years old, obtained at a thrift shop for $5. Talk about ROI.
re: tcamp
If OP likes the taste/texture of canned beans, he/she should get his/her hands on a pressure cooker. Canned foods are pressure cooked--beans are cooked in the can, under pressure, so a pressure cooker is the best way to recreate the flavor/texture of canned beans.
I, too, like the texture of canned beans and have been much happier cooking beans from scratch since i've gotten my pressure cooker.
Of course, the price of a pressure cooker is going to detract from the money-saving idea of making a lot of beans. But a pressure cooker is a worthwhile investment—it has made so many things easier and faster in my kitchen.
I'm sure the pressure cooker is awesome. If you don't have one, I recommend a crock pot if you've got one of those. Beans take a really, really long time to get soft. I also recommend doing the hot-soak (boil five minutes, put the pot in the fridge overnight) because it makes a noticeable difference in, um, distress.
This article in the New York Times has me wanting to try the attached recipe for white bean and sausage stew. Dry beans without soaking, yay!
re: TorontoJo
Thanks for adding the link ...looks good! ;-)
re: TorontoJo
Those un-soaked beans may make you sick. They certainly would me. If soaking is annoying, why not soak a bunch and freeze them?
re: jvanderh
Why? Soaking is not necessary but does effect the length of cooking time. No evidence of that soaking and discarding the water has an effect on gas and only red kidney beans any significant toxins but even that is pretty low as to not effect most people.
re: scubadoo97
Yes there is. Not that I needed any.
re: jvanderh
your best bet to avoid flaunts is to eat more beans.
re: jvanderh
I think if your system is this sensitive, you havee withdrawn from the real world. Years ago, when I was working in Nicaragua a fellow worker from San Francisco got sick. Our American doctor tested and treated him and ultimately sent him home. The fellow was on a Macrobiotic diet and the doctor said his system was "too clean" to withstand bugs found in a normal environment. As a nurse I believe our bodies can resist a lot of things if we allow it to keep its inherent immunity. The more we wipe our daily germs and baby ourselves, the more we set ourselves up for problems.
re: fedora
This is so true.
re: TorontoJo
It is interesting that the NY Times recipe linked by Toronto Jo calls for Great Northern Beans. But in a recent Cooks' Illustrated, these type of white beans ranked last--cannellini and navy beans rated much higher for flavor and texture.
What are YOUR favorite types of dried white beans?
re: erica
White teparies. Loaded with flavor and some of the highest protein content around..they're almost sweet, too:
Can a bean be romantic? We think so! Teparies are indigenous to North America and were developed by Native Americans to be drought-tolerant. Higher in protein and fiber than other beans (which are already super foods), what more can you ask for in food? Flavor and texture? You got it! The small beans plump up a bit but keep a meaty, dense texture. Can you tell we're smitten?
The beans are savory but the white version tends to be slightly sweet."
Get a pressure cooker. Save time, energy, and nutrients. I can put split pea soup on the table (without soaking the peas) in 20 minutes, with prep. Rissotto, 7.5 mins. The models on today's market are safe. UL requires that all pressure be released before you can open it. Safe, eficent, nutrient saver as well as a major energy saver. I recommend books on PC cooking by Lorna Sass. They are very accurate on timing. There is next to nothing (except baked items) become that you cannot do in a PC. My favorite bread pudding, I use patattone, in the pc. It becomes light and custardy and a real treat. Not stodgy and heavy. I like Fagor's but there are plenty of other PC's to choose from
I usually forget to presoak, but have found the following method to be just as good if not better:
cover the beans with water and boil for 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat and drain off the cooking water - this is supposed to "de-gas" the beans, and as far as I can tell it works.
Cover with water again, bring to the boil, and turn the heat off and let them soak for an hour.
After soaking, turn the heat back on and simmer for about an hour, checking frequently and adding water if necessary. I usually start with 2 c of water to 1 c of dried beans, but 3 c of water is probably "safer" if you think you might forget to check it frequently enough.
Water to bean ration and cooking times vary from one type of bean to another, and with the age of the beans. Don't worry about the myth about salt keeping your beans from getting soft, it isn't true. I don't salt my beans (HORRORS) at all, I salt whatever I'm making with them. Canned beans are very salty, as another poster noted, so if you want them to taste like canned, you'll probably have to use a fair amount of salt.
TBridges, canned beans are not especially soft and squishy. The flavor you like in the canned beans is salt. If you want to cook beans very fast get a pressure cooker. I you soak the beans first many beans will cook in around 8 min plus the cool down so you can get them on the table in less than 20 min.
One word - Garbanzos [aka chick peas, cici, chana].
Make anything from hummus to garbanzos with spinach & baccalao to channa masala to falafel.
Very cheap - buy bags of the stuff for under $1/lb at indo-pak groceries.
Also, if you are concerned about sodium levels, do NOT use canned beans, they have high levels of sodium - read the label.
Oh, once you soak the baccalao properly, the sodium levels drop way down to the point where you may have to add salt to the recipe.
Adding salt to beans while cooking is a wives tale. Just make sure the beans are fresh, properly soaked overnight or longer, boiled for 5min & sat for 1 hour [quick method]. What adding salt to the cooking does is have the beans absorb the salt, increasing the quantity of salt needed.
You can also check out the myriad of lentils used in Indian cooking - all different flavours & textures. Great for batching up a mess & freezing.
re: algct
Lots of good info in these posts. We lean heavily vegetarian and cooked beans for many years.
There are many great books on cooking beans. Almost any Lorna Sass book is great. She's written many, so I'd recommend starting with her later books (her techniques and writing have evolved over the years. Many of her cookbooks skew heavily to the pressure cooker side of things.
Beans can take on many flavor, so they work in anything. They freeze very well, so you can make extra, put them in the freezer and your all set the next time. I freeze them in 1-3/4 portions, so they match the 15 oz. can that many recipes call for.
Pressure cookers and Slow-cookers do an equally excellent job of cooking the beans.
A few notes:
One tip from Lorna Sass - Beans vary in age and dryness, so when you soak them, cut one in half and see that the soaking has soaked completely through.
If you are using an old jiggle-weighted top cooker, add a few teaspoons of oil to minimize foaming.
There are different opinions as to when they are done. I like to cook them until some of the skins are loose.
1. If you like canned beans there is no sin in eating canned beans. They're a perfectly good and needlessly maligned product. Inferior to and costlier than basic homemade beans, but still cheap as, um, beans and infinitely better than no beans at all. Stock up!
2. That said, if you're significantly cutting down on meat and want to make dried beans, it's probably not worth comparing the cost of dried beans to the cost of canned beans. Your annual grocery bill will be so much lower that a small chunk of ham hock here or dash of (unsalted homemade) stock there will be a minuscule dent in your overall savings.
3. Diluting homemade stock by 50% or more economically adds great depth of flavor, and a little bit of ham hock goes a long way---especially for everyday beans. Hack off a chunk and throw it back in the freezer and it can last for two, three, four batches of beans. If you garden, most any snipped herb will be welcome. And if you buy those pricey little plastic containers of fresh herbs, almost anything you have in the fridge and need to use up will be welcome as well (but especially bay, rosemary, and thyme). A couple smashed garlic cloves do wonders, and a mirepoix per mamachef never hurt a thing. If you find the right balance of these ingredients/techniques you can make wonderfully neutral beans that you can't stop eating. After all, you're not trying to make nutraloaf, right?
4. As to your final question, there's no special trick: just cook the snot out of them and they'll be plenty soft. Keep them partially covered in plenty of liquid at only a gently simmer if you mind them falling apart. I'm afraid you're not going to get that canned taste without plenty of sodium, which you're trying to reduce. Pick up a can of unsalted/low-salt beans. You'll probably find it pretty undesirable, but do report back if there is still some unidentifiable flavor you enjoy.
re: eight_inch_pestle
I find canned beans perfectly tasty (but second rate to freshly cooked) BUT I always rinse them before eating/cooking. I don't like the "slime" that they're often packed in...and that will reduce your sodium content, too.
re: eight_inch_pestle
I grew up on home-grown navy beans. When I lived in Mexico I learned to cook all kinds of beans. The one lesson I learned that has stayed with me is this --- NEVER add cold water to dried beans that are cooking. In Mexico they generally cook dried beans in a clay pot and every housewife has a dish that fits in the opening (acts as a cover) that they fill with water. It is heated as the beans cook. Whenever they check the beans and need to add water it comes from that dish and the water is hot. I was told by a very middle class Mexican housewife NEVER to add cold water to cooking beans --- that it toughens them. I've used this trick ever since and it always works.
Another good Mexican trick is to add some lemon/lime juice to any chicken soup. It brightens the flavor and truly makes it magical.
re: fedora
I dunno that I buy that cold water toughens the beans, but I agree that adding cold water is bad: adding just a bit can drop your liquor below the gentle simmer for like half-an-hour. When I start my beans I nuke a large (4-cup) measuring cup of water or water-and-stock until it boils. Whenever I need a little liquid I nuke again for a minute or two before adding the steaming hot liquid to the pot.
Caned beans have a lot of salt. One way to get around the salt is to drain the caned beans and then rinse them. Put them in cooking pan add water and you have caned beans with little or no salt. Salt is not that hard to eliminate or reduce in your diet if you try.
I also thought that rinsing beans would lessen the sodium but after doing some reading, found that the beans have absorbed the salt so rinsing takes very little sodium away. There are "no salt added" canned beans. We are a low sodium family so I heavily spice my beans and lentils. I would suggest you look into lentils too because they cook so much faster than beans and they don't have to be pre-soaked.

NVIDIA OptiX Engine Joins Groundbreaking Suite of Application Acceleration Engines
SIGGRAPH 2009, NEW ORLEANS-Aug. 4, 2009- NVIDIA, the leader in GPU computing, today introduced the NVIDIA OptiX ray tracing engine, part of a suite of application acceleration engines for software developers. NVIDIA acceleration engines make it easy to incorporate valuable, high-performance capabilities into applications, while simultaneously reducing development time.
NVIDIA application acceleration engines unveiled at Siggraph 2009 include:
As the world's first interactive ray tracing engine to leverage the GPU, the NVIDIA OptiX engine is a programmable ray tracing pipeline enabling software developers to easily bring new levels of realism to their applications using traditional C programming. By tapping into the massively parallel computing power of NVIDIA Quadro processors, the OptiX engine greatly accelerates the ray tracing used across a spectrum of disciplines, including: photorealistic rendering, automotive styling, acoustical design, optics simulation, volume calculations and radiation research. Application developers are utilizing the OptiX engine to redefine what's possible for designers, engineers and researchers.
"In one year, NVIDIA has gone from proving interactive GPU ray tracing is possible, to making it available to all," said Jon Peddie, founder and president of Jon Peddie Research. "Intricate design tasks, such as examining the play of reflection and refraction across surfaces and within glass, can now be examined in real-time by utilizing the OptiX acceleration engine running on Quadro processors. This is a phenomenal milestone for developers and designers alike."
"Thousands of applications are being created today that harness the phenomenal power of GPUs, a clear sign that GPU computing has reached a tipping point. The world of computing is shifting from host-bound processing on CPUs to balanced co-processing on GPUs and CPUs," said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions, NVIDIA. "NVIDIA application acceleration engines arm developers with the tools they need to further revolutionize both real-time graphics and advanced data analysis."
The NVIDIA SceniX scene management engine provides the interactive core for demanding real-time, professional 3D graphics applications. Whether used in leading products such as RTT DeltaGen, Autodesk Showcase and Anark Media Studio, or in scores of in-house tools used for advanced visualization, simulation, broadcast graphics, medical imagery, and energy exploration, developers look to the SceniX engine for the interactive framework to manage 3D data and convey results in real-time at high fidelity.
The NVIDIA CompleX scene scaling engine enables applications to maintain interactivity when working with extremely large and complex models. By automatically utilizing the combined memory and processing power of multiple GPUs within Quadro Plex visual computing systems, applications that utilize the CompleX engine enable users to explore and visualize all their data in full context, instead of piecemeal.
The NVIDIA PhysX 64-bit physics engine brings hyper-realistic, real-time physics to professional applications. Already a proven and popular solution within the computer games industry, the 64-bit version of PhysX will permit more accurate calculations on far larger data sets for engineers, designers and animators wanting to interrogate their data, model physical properties and breathe life into their work.
"The SceniX acceleration engine has been a critical part of our success in the automotive styling industry," said Christian Matzen, COO, ICIDO, a global leader in virtual engineering solutions. "Based on the ease of integrating OptiX within SceniX, and its stunning visual results, we plan on delivering interactive ray tracing to our design customers later this year."
"The CompleX engine is essential for our application to accommodate the massive data sets of customers like StatoilHydro," said Thorolf Horn Tonjum, Director of R&D Stormfjord, a Norwegian development company serving the visualization needs of the energy industry. "By using the SceniX engine to power our scene graph, we easily incorporated the CompleX engine to keep navigation smooth for 10 GB scenes, and the PhysX 64-bit engine to study the challenges off shore oil rigs must face. These engines from NVIDIA accelerate not only our product, but also our time to market."
NVIDIA will be showcasing the new suite of application acceleration engines this week at the SIGGRAPH 2009 conference and exhibition in New Orleans; booth #2101.
Pricing and Availability
NVIDIA application acceleration engines are available from the NVIDIA Developer Zone at no charge. The SceniX and CompleX engines can be downloaded at http://developer.nvidia.com/page/home.html. The OptiX and PhysX 64-bit engines will be available in fall of 2009. Interactive ray tracing examples using the pre-release OptiX engine can be downloaded at http://developer.nvidia.com/object/optix-examples.html and run on NVIDIA Quadro FX processors.

I notice they were careful not to say it would be used for gaming, which leads me to think it's not quite ready in the speed department. But, if they get it out there and start optimizing it now, we might actually start to see ray-traced games within the next couple of rounds of hardware refreshes!
I think it'll be a while before we see anyting purely ray-traced. There will be some sort of hybrid rasterization / ray-tracing solution, similar to what's mentioned here, before anything else.
I won't disagree with that. I think when they first started announcing this stuff about a year ago I was predicting 4-5 years for them to make good on the promise. That's still plenty of time for a couple of intermediate cards that use the hybrid approach you suggest.
I think how fast they get there really all depends on how much competition they have - So let's hope AMD/ATI has some surprises coming.

So, I've finally realized the problem with this blog. It's simple, its way too specific of a blog. It only focuses on one thing and seeing that my mind catches speeds up to 1,000 mph, It was hard for me to focus want to pay much attention to it. But that all changes NOW. apkcc . is only one part of what we're about so why have a blog that only focuses on that? If we open it up a bit more, we can show the shit that we're really on. Everything thing from the art to the film/music production and to the screenwriting. So from this day forth, this is no longer the blog for just psrsly koo ., the clothing line. This is the blog that represents the whole shabang, the full package, all of the aspects. From now on, we're showing the conglomerate as a whole.
Welcome to the Conglomerate .
- switch .
I hope this whole fucking society is burnt down to ground, and all that survives is the ashes of good intentions and positive energy…NIRVANA.
- switch .
stay true & live koo .
We have been gone for way, way too long. Haven't we?
But kooLIGANS . do not fret, the real world (you know the one beyond the QWERTY keyboard, monitor, and the internet) has been opening me up to all different kinds of wonders. I wish i could honestly say that they have all been terrific but they haven't. The temptress known as Self Discovery has once again shown her face. This time, however, she also brought her sister Uncertainty around, and they played their mind games on me until I was drained. Physically and mentally. But as always, though these past few months have been hard, filled with nights of nonsober thoughts and concerns, they have also been positive. My eyes have been opened up to all new kinds of things. New music, new styles, new artists, new shows and a new understanding of people and life as a whole. However, I will not bore you with any more blabber about my self journey.All that is left to say is that psrsly koo . is back and we are stronger and more progressive than ever.

CCB is a crew of artists from the Bronx who are about bringing the back the spirit of the Bronx in whatever we do. We hold it down from everything to music, clothing and street art. Peep the movement. And while you're at it,
Change doesn't come with the turn of the year or season. Change comes from the desire that one has inside to change. No excuses. Just will power. Mind over matter.

Universal unity is only the theory .

koo - LIGANS,
So for the last couple of months, you have been seeing the old, simple form of koo . and because we have been slacking so much with the blogging, we've decided to give you guys a glimpse of a sketch of the new and improved logo.
This is definitely NOT the finalized version of the logo and we will be adding more special treats to it but for now, this is what we got for ya. Hope you enjoy it!
As always, we thank you for all the love & respect.
psrsly koo . is more than just a clothing line, it's a movement and the only way for progress to be made is if unique and creative individuals (like yourself) spread the word by reblogging, recommending and promoting. The more supporters we have, the quicker this rocket will blast off.
so keep supporting the conglomerate
& if you haven't yet…. now is the time to start !
we love you all, psrsly .

So a couple of weeks ago on an unnecessarily hot Wednesday in the South Bronx, I decided to go get a delicious Famous Bowl from KFC (of course, the bowl wasn't made properly and ended up not being so delicious) and I encountered a homeless man standing in front of the door, opening it for all entering and exiting customers. As I walked in, he opened the door for me and I said "Thank You" and kept it moving. As I was sitting down eating, I couldnt help but watch this man's every move. With each and every person who walked in, he flashed a big smile, in hopes to be rewarded with some spare change for his action. Most people just walked through the doors, not acknowledging him, while others said "Thank you" and even less actually rewarded him.
As I was eating the poorly made Famous Bowl, dozens and dozens of questions were flashing across my brain. "How did he end up in this predicament?" "How hard could his life have been?" " What can I do to help him?" "Does he even deserve my or anyone else's help?" At this point, I was having an inner debate on whether I should buy this man a meal or not. It was almost as if I was looking for any excuse not to help him. As if I needed to see him do something extraordinary for me to lend a helping hand to someone in need. But really, how sad is that? Have we, as people, dropped to a low in which, we must first judge and place our own opinion on others before we decide to help them?
Eventually, I realized that it was not my place to judge him and that my duty as a fellow human being was to do what I can to help. A couple of dollars out of my pocket would barely affect my life, however, it could possibly change his. This entry is not to show how thoughtful and helpful I was. It's to point out that compassion should not be something that needs to be thought about it, it should be second nature. Whatever the reason he is in the situation that he's in is not what's important. The important thing is that whatever the reason is, we are willing to help because helping one another is the only way that we can make this world a better place.
That is all!

P.S. We know that we have been slacking HARD on blogging but we are working hard on trying to make moves out there in the real world. Our absence has caused us to lose a couple of followers but I hope that the rest of you guys still out there, keep spreading the word by reblogging, recommending and promoting.
keep supporting the conglomerate .
we promise that the goods will be here soon .
thank you .
Hmm.. how do I even start this? So I just got the news through facebook that a kid I've met once or twice through my circle of friends was stabbed in the chest and died a couple of hours ago. I don't even think it's necessary for me to type my usual "positive energy creates more positive energy" speech because the way that he passed speaks for itself. I do believe in destiny and I do believe that everything happens for a reason and that this in some way, shape, or form will create some sort of goodness in this world, however, that doesn't make murder rokay. To rip someone's life away is a big deal. We as people are lovers, fighters, caterers, creators, givers, takers and its insane to think how the insertion of one's blade can completely just stop that. You gotta have some nerve to think it's okay for you to step into the picture and deface someone else's creation.
But as I said earlier, I don't want this entry to be my usual spiel. What I want the overall message of this entry to be is that dwelling on death is pointless and counterproductive to the growth of life. We are all going to die. That's no secret. There is no fountain of youth to change that, and if there is, then that thing is hidden so well that none of us will ever live long enough to find it. So why worry about the inevitable? It seems that with westernization we came to the conclusion that we can somehow stop death. We build machines that make life easier safer so that we can live longer. We make medicines and sell products throwing around the false belief that we can somehow extend this journey. No one wants to accept the fact that we all have an expiration date and that when its time to go, we go. All things come to an end. Life is not meant to be a never-ending story. Just like that movie and any other movie, book or show, there is a beginning, there are chapters in between and there is an end.
The importance of our story is the journey. What you did within those chapters and how your actions made a difference is what is essential. I'd like to say that we have two choices: to be a creator or a destroyer but then I'd by lying to you and myself because most of us are a tad bit of both. However, the fact that we have a journey is not what makes our life beautiful and worth cherishing either. Everything has a journey and an arc. The fact that we are even here is what's beautiful. The fact that millions and millions of sperms raced to get to that egg to and one specific one made it through to create you. Pure existence is the miracle of life. This does not mean that because every being is a miracle that therefore, there are no miracles because each of us are different and special in our own way.
So you see, dwelling on our inevitable end is senseless. It's only purpose is to blind us from the reason that we are special and why ultimately, we should be celebrated. the fact that we live in the first place.
once again, thank you for reading an extremely long post and keep spreading the love by reblogging/recommending/promoting. We REALLY appreciate all of it.

So about two weeks ago, after a long night of partying and hanging out with friends, I was nearly ran over by a car because I was black. But please, do not get this blog entry confused with one about how racism still exists in our society and how we need to stop the ignorance. That is not at all what I'm saying. To give you a better understanding of the theme of this story, I think I should mention that at the party I was at was prior to the discriminatory event, I had the urge to fight with 2 other individuals because I felt really disrespected by them. You see, I'm usually not the type to wanna pop on anyone around me that pisses me off. Though, I do get the urge to smack someone for being ignorant every once in a while, I realize how immature and how regressive fighting really is. I actually have a good amount of friends who consider me the "peacekeeper" because of these ideas but for some reason on this night, all those morals had completely left my head and I was ready to scrap with two complete strangers.
Anyways, after leaving the party, I was standing on the corner getting ready to cross the street (not even a foot from the curb) when a car swerved my way with this big Italian guy cursing me out, threatening to run me over for standing where I was. Now, if you're from NYC, you know that NO ONE stands on the curb, that's just our nature, therefore I said a couple of smart remarks to the driver, egging him on. This led to the car coming to a complete stop and the driver getting out the car, telling me how badly he was gonna "fuck me up." Now though, I do believe that fighting should be a last resort. I am in no way a pacifist. If someone threatens my safety then I will step up and fight the battle. So obviously, I stepped to the dude, ready to square off. At this point, the crew of people I was with and the pack of people on the street jumped in between us to avoid a fight, therefore avoiding the police. By this moment, I had lost it. I was shit talking, and fighting the crowd and my friends to get to this guy while he did the same. At one point, he was actually able to get a hand through the crowd of people and gently knock me in the forehead which in turn caused me to go insane. Eventually, after more shit talking, a beer bottle being broken and some lovely ladies calming me down, the dude jumped back into his car and drove off.
The point of this story is that negativity attracts more negativity. Can I truly say that if I was a positive person all day that this racist guy wouldn't have a picked a fight with me on the street? No. But I truly believe that a positive attitude would've completely changed the events of that night. Here I am, trying to create a clothing company all about positive energy and making the world a better place, yet my foolish actions on a Saturday night just brought more into it.
Anyways, thank you for reading this extremely long story and remember positivity just brings more positivity into this world.

So this friday The Hundreds is finally opening up a store in the Big Apple. It's exciting to see their company finally venture out past the Cali scene and get a store here on the Beast Coast. The theme of the store has been described as a contempaory boutique thrown a half century into the future. This means that the walls and interior will all be faded and have a vintage look to it. It's really nice to see a company that's doing so well yet still put so much attention to details and cater to their fans. If the storefronts are anything like that of the LA and SF locations, they will defineitely be nothing short of amazing. Also, TH will be drooping two shirts just for the opening. The first is an extraordinart picture of the Brooklyn Bridge that really captures the beauty of the structural design and the second is n aerial shot of the World Trade Center taken on 9/10/01, the day before the 9/11 attacks.
You should really come and check it out if you're a fan of the company and streetwear and even if you're not. There's something about a buisness that really loves, and enjoys what they're doing that anyone call fall in love with.
psrsly koo .was planning on showing up at the event to hand out free stickers but now we're not so sure about howthat'll go. Either way, show up and show some love to a really inspirational company!

OK, so i was 12 once. I have thrown up the middle finger in more pictures than I can count on both hands. I remember thinking that it made me look so "cool". Like I was saying "fuck you! I don't give a fuck!" to the whole world! And I mean that's OK because, like I said, I was 12 and trying to be reckless and cool is understandable for a preteen trying to fit into a society where fitting in is all that is important. But if you are any older than that then you have no reason to be putting up the middle finger in your pics because:
So stop all the madness! Stop trying to be something that you're not. Maybe next time before you decide to throw the finger up and saying "fuck you" to the world, you should take a step back and think about the negativity that you're actually adding to this disgustingly, negative world.
Hmm.. maybe psrsly koo . should come up with a hand sign that symbolizes everything that the middle finger doesn't. You know like progress, change, peace, catering to one another.
would you throw it up?

So there seems to come a time in everyone's life where things just get stagnant. No flow. No movement. No progress. Everything is just…still. Now most would find this as the perfect time to fall into a state of self-loathing, depression, bitterness, agony, hatred, pain, gloom, and any other adjective that you can think of for misplaced sadness. And at many different points in my life, I have done the same thing but I've learned way too many valuable lessons and I have way too much faith in myself to let that feeling overwhelm me this time. There's no denying that I am stuck in traffic, and that it seems my car has come to a stand still and it definitely does feel like I am on a treadmill, just running, one foot in front of the other, yet arriving at no destination. But instead of taking these as bad things, I've learned to realize that they are not at all. I know that traffic doesn't last forever and even if there is a bit of a hold-up, I will make it to where I plan on going. So rather then suck my teeth and bang my head on the steering wheel, I'm choosing to turn the radio up and blast my favorite song until the cars clear out. And I know that no harm comes from running on a treadmill cause it's getting me in shape and building up my ability to run a long journey without over-exhausting myself. So even though the road ahead seems a tad bit bumpy, I know everything I'm learning now is giving me the strength to overcome it.
I mean after all, Rocky Road is just a flavor of ice cream, right?

and that makes all the difference.

a psrsly koo clothing company coming soon .
support the conglomerate .
Right now, im really trying to get "a psrsly koo clothing company" off the ground and I've been talking to a lot of people about it and I keep getting the same question. "WHATS YOUR THEME?" And I've come to realize that I do not have a theme, and that's because life, and who you are does not follow a specific theme. Who you are and what you like is just a giant conglomerate of things you've seen and experienced in your life, and the same goes for psrsly koo . Whats koo is whatever the fuck you like, whatever the fuck you are really interested in, whatever appeals to you. It's about the things that give your stomach butterflies, the things that make your heart skip a beat and the things that steal a breath from your mouth. That's all because at the end of the day, that's all that matters. Not the trends and all the bullshit but just the experience of life, the memories and the moments that mold you into being who you are. And who you are is what is "psrsly koo ."
You can say constantly thinking about clothing and what you want to buy is extremely materialistic and brainless but it is not at all. Clothing is so much more than material possessions. Your body is a canvas, and the clothes you wear is how you choose to express who you are. Think about it, you pass by hundreds/thousands of people a day who you may never speak to and never will know anything about from a conversation but there is soo much you learn just by one glace at their outfit. Of course, clothing is not everything and molding who you are on the inside will always be what comes first but why not accessorize that soul of yours with colors that match that inner personality?
psrsly koo is here to help express those vibrant colors.
so please, and i mean please,
support the conglomerate that a psrsly koo clothing company is .

While the Monday Night Football season came to a close several months ago, there is essentially no season for Golden Boy Live & Monday night boxing. Oscar De La Hoya's promotional company has done fantastic things for the sport of boxing, perhaps more than anyone in the past 5 years, & that includes bringing boxing to a regular network on Monday nights. Fox Sports is the host of several great match ups that will take place live from the House of Blues in Boston in what is being billed as "Saint Patrick's Day Night at the Fights."
Undefeated middleweight Julian Williams will headline the main event against former IBF Middleweight Champion Freddy Hernandez. Irishman Jamie Kavanaugh will also square off against Andres Navarro, Alexis Santos vs Sylvester Barron, & John Joe Nevin, also irish, will face Alberto Candeleria. While some of the names on the card are relatively young in their careers, watching Golden Boy Live is one of the best ways to become familiar with some of the young, up & coming talent in boxing. The likes of U.S. olympian Eerol Spence have fought on the Monday night broadcast as Golden Boy looks to continue the resurgence of the sport.
