Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.

DUNLOP March Cookbooks of Month: Fish
All things fishy go here.
Fragrant-and-Hot Tiger Prawns (RCC p. 175)
Some friends were stopping by for drinks and I had bought a pound of medium shrimp to make a go-with nibble, but then my copy of RCC came in and I decided to try this instead. The recipe calls for jumbo shrimp and they definitely would have been preferable. It also calls for finely chopped red pepper, but I didn't have any so skipped it. Also used sherry instead of Shaoxing and sambal oelek instead of salted chiles.
She says to leave the shell on the shrimp and I did; but I slit it down the back to the first joint to remove the vein also thinking it might make it easier to eat. I have no qualms about peeling cooked shrimp and I knew my guests wouldn't either, but next time I make it I think I'll remove the shell down to the first joint. I know the shells makes for a tastier dish, but I can't imagine it would suffer too much without them.
This wasn't as spicy as I expected, or would have liked, it to be. It could be that my sambal oelek has been sitting around too long. But next time I'll up the heat factor a bit. These weren't my favorite shrimp cocktail-time nibble, but they're probably number two. They were fun to eat and we just kept reaching for one after another. They'd be really good served on rice as a main course as well.
re: saltwater
Not crazy at all. I think we ended up eating about a quarter of the shells and none of us minded in the least.
re: onefineleo
It's a recipe for Cilantro Lime Shrimp from the big yellow Gourmet. I've made it at least a dozen times, both at my home and at friends' homes, and it's always very, very! well received.
Here's an online recipe that's not quite exactly the same as the one in the book, but close enough so I doubt even I would notice the difference.
re: onefineleo
"promise to make and report back"
Me too! Thanks for the reports Joan and LulusMom, and the recipe for your favorite JoanN.
Hey onefineleo, how are you? Miss you and your cooking!
re: JoanN
I also made the Fragrant and Hot Tiger Prawns, although I made it from the link given, since I don't have RCC. I thought this was an absolutely lovely dish, although like JoanN I was surprised that it wasn't spicier. Still, very tasty. I also used (deep breaths aelph) sherry and sambal olek instead of the shaoxing and salted chilies. And, thanks to earlier posts suggesting it, I made it my dutch oven - what a great idea! Kept the splatter to a minimum. I used jumbo shrimp and did go ahead and take the shells off. One thing - if you use the link instead of the book to make this, note that somehow the instructions on when to add the wine/salt have been left out - I just added them along with the ginger/garlic/bean paste. If you assemble everything in advance, this is incredibly easy to make, and we loved it.
re: LulusMom
Fyi, in the book the wine and salt are tossed with the raw shrimp to marinate for a bit before draining them (that's the instruction in the second paragraph of the link that says to shake the shrimp dry) and tossing the shrimp into the hot oil. I can't imaging that adding those ingredients to the sauce instead made a significan difference.
re: JoanN
Aha! Thanks for the info. I can't really imagine it made much difference either, but I'll try it that way next time. And really, it was so easy that there will definitely be a next time. The link I had also said nothing about whether or not to peel the shrimp, which is why I went ahead and did so. That (shopping aside) was the most time consuming part of making this dish.
re: JoanN
I made this last night and we both loved it. I made it as written, using the salted chilies and marinated the shrimp with Shaoxing wine and salt. My arm slipped when I poured the wine in, so I probably had it marinating in about 1/4 cup of wine.
I used smaller shrimp that I deshelled and deveined. I used much more garlic and ginger (probably 3T of each v. 1 T of ginger.). I also used significantly less oil to cook this.
After the initial stir fry, that's when the condiments get added and the shrimp gets put back into the pot. Dunlop has you boil until the liquid is gone. Since my shrimp were smaller and I was worried about overcooking, I pulled it off the stove before the liquid evaporated. Plus, I like extra sauce.
Bottom line - we LOVED this dish. True, it could have used a bit more heat but the flavors were delicious. The chile bean paste mixed in with my copious amounts of ginger just brought this dish to a whole new level. We were little piggies and ate the entire pound of shrimp! (and I had three other dishes + rice, that's how much we liked this dish.
This is going in the rotation and could be my favorite recipe from RCC so far. Next time I have chinese chives though, I'm making the other shrimp dish.
re: beetlebug
I love both but those chinese chive ones are the ones that have made it into serious rotation. Very very good.
re: LulusMom
It was your post about the shrimp w/chinese chives that prompted me to RCC. But, when I saw that I had all the ingredients for the fragrant and hot shrimp, well, that just pushed that in front.
re: beetlebug
Totally understand. It was finding out that I had a pot of chinese chives growing on my back porch that started me on that recipe.
re: LulusMom
My pot of chinese chives has either disappeared or died or something, but I was surprised/upset to find that I didnt' have any. So ... I made the shrimp with chinese chives with regular old chives. While it did make a difference, I think anyone who is holding back because they can't find chinese chives should just go ahead and make with regular. It was still very, very good. My husband said he could eat this every week, and also said "If they had this on the menu at a local chinese restaurant, I'd never order anything else."
Velveted Fish, Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook, Internet Version
This was one third of a three dish meal we made last night (Saturday). The recipe calls for halibut fillets or any white fish. We used cod and did not have to substitute any ingredient. As usual we had all our bowls, whisks, and mise en place arranged before starting to cook. This makes the whole process very easy. The fish is sliced into 1/2" pieces and set aside to marinate with wine, egg white, potato flour, a little water and salt. Then the vegetables are prepared, stir fried in succession...very easy to do. DH has declared that he prefers wok cooking to any other method. In fact his words were, "I love it." This from a man who only entered the kitchen to grab another cup of coffee in the morning.
The dish smelled wonderful, but the taste was less than the sum of it's parts. It was good overall but not as flavorful as I thought it would be. It's certainly easy enough to make again. Perhaps I will after trying others of the same ilk. I'll have to start taking photos.....
This was the last time I have to use the internet version of any recipe this month. On a whim DH yesterday took himself to our library and asked for both COTMs. The reference librarian brought out Land of Plenty and has put in a request for RCC through the library network in the surrounding area. She'll phone us when it comes in probably early next. I Love our Library!!
re: MMRuth
I was thinking that before I dismiss a recipe entirely it might be a good idea to make it again and really study the taste. Cooking a recipe for the first time and wanting to eat immediately doesn't really give one the opportunity to get the full essence and nuance of each ingredient. I don't mean to say we wolfed down the food, but eating slowly may help understand how to correct the seasoning to one's individual taste. We ooohhhed and aaahhhed our way through last night's dinner, so we must have liked something about it. This morning DH declared he did enjoy each dish. So tonight, when we make our planned meal, I'll be more careful with tasting and making sure it's what I think the dish ought to taste like. Taste is so subjective.....
re: Gio
I made this last night, using Halibut. It was good, though I think I overcooked the fish a bit at the initial frying stage--Dunlop said to cook until "it changes color" but that instruction doesn't really work for halibut, which is a pale whitish-pink when raw which only slightly whitens when cooked.
I love the use of a little vinegar in this dish.
Sweet-and-Sour Crispy Fish (LOP page 264)
Oh, man. This recipe should come with a warning. Do not attempt without professional supervision.
Where to start? Quickly, for those who don't have the book, you marinate a sea bass, cover it with cornstarch, heat the oil in the wok to 325, cover the fish with a cornstarch paste, fry the fish for a bit, remove the fish from the oil and reheat the oil to 400, fry the fish again until brown and crispy, heave the oil, add new oil, and make the sauce.
All was okay until she said to smear the cornstarch paste on the fish while you're heating the oil. My cornstarch paste was either too thin or lumpy—both in the same bowl. I couldn't seem to get anything smearable. And attempting this very messy maneuver while watching the oil thermometer made me wish, a rare wish in my case, that I didn't live alone.
Then you hold the fish by the tail, put the head in the hot oil, and pour the hot oil over the fish while you're holding it somewhat upright. That was a little scary. Okay, time to lay the fish in the oil. Oops. Not enough oil. I could fry the body and the head or the body and the tail. Made do.
I removed fish from the wok as directed (the tail broke off), added more oil, and started to heat the oil to 400-425F. as directed but chickened out somewhere around 385 and put the fish in. That's what the witches' cauldron in Macbeth must have looked like. Even more scary, but still not quite enough oil, so I just ladled boiling oil over the top of the fish. Oh yeah. You're supposed to fry the fish until the batter is crisp and golden. But my batter was mostly splattered around the kitchen counter rather than on the fish so I just winged it.
Dump oil, add new oil, and make sauce. After you add the aromatics, sauce ingredients, and everyday stock she says to boil it down until the liquid thickens. But mine wasn't thickening. At least, not much. I gave up after about 10 minutes. I wish she'd said about how long it would take or about how thick it should get, but she didn't.
Pour sauce over fish and garnish with slivered scallions and pickled chiles. Fuggedaboutit. Even if I'd had the pickled chiles, which I didn't, I was done.
I almost hate to say this, because I doubt this recipe is going into regular rotation, but the fish was outstanding. Only parts were crispy, and those parts were a delight, but the fish was moist and not overcooked and altogether excellent. The sauce, thinnish though it was, was damned good, too. I wonder if anyone in Manhattan teaches a crispy sea bass class?
re: JoanN
Gosh JoanN, I'm just glad you had no emergencies during that cooking session. I hate - Really Hate - to deep fry in my kitchen. You get mega points for your effort. I find that some of Fuchsia's instructions and directions are vague to say the least. I'll be posting my report about tonight's dinner tomorrow morning. We're still recuperating. LOL
re: JoanN
Gee, JoanN, seems you're out of luck. There are 24 crispy sea BREAM classes and 12 crispy sea ANEMONE classes, but not a single crispy sea BASS class.
I wonder if I could hire somebody to make this for me? It's either that or get a hazmat suit. Hmmm, may be worth it.
PS: Is this yet another condiment we should be making? Pickled Chiles? Different from Salted Chiles?
re: JoanN
Sweet-and-Sour-Crispy Fish, Take Two
Call me stubborn, but this is a dish both my BF and I love in restaurants and I'd really like to figure out a way to do it at home without having me and the apartment covered in cornstarch paste. Having done this once, I thought I knew where the stumbling blocks were. So I bought a much smaller sea bass, one that would fit into the wok, and bought a new box of cornstarch. (I don't know. Does cornstarch go stale? Mine had been around for a while. Thought it might make a difference. It didn't.)
A few things went more smoothly. The smaller fish certainly helped. (Although I bought the fish in Chinatown for less than a third what I'd paid for the first, larger one at Citarella, but it wasn't as well cleaned so I've now got dried fish scales twinkling at me throughout the apartment). But the cornstarch paste was still a b**ch, ending up on cabinets and the floor, and didn't really turn golden as it was supposed to. The fish looked somewhat better than it did the first time and was every bit as good. The sauce was, again, terrific. I'm still determined, but I need to find another coating for the fish.
One of my Chinese cookbooks just uses a coating of cornstarch without the paste. Another covers the fish with a cornstarch paste, but it's a much thinner mixture that you pour over the fish, let sit for 15 minutes, and then coat in flour before frying. And an online recipe, using fillets but not whole fish, has you dip the fillets in a batter. So I'm on a quest here. I'm going to try (but not any time soon, probably; that's enough peanut oil consumption for a while) Dunlop's marinade and sauce, but some other method of coating the fish for frying.
Fisherman's Shrimp with Chinese Chives, p. 177 (RCC)
Finally bought some chinese chives yesterday, so made this - using some wonderful shrimp that I also bought in Chinatown. No fresh red peppers so, again, I used a combination of one jalapeno and some slivered red pepper for color. While the jalapeno I used in a dish on Friday was very strong, this one was very mild, so the dish wasn't particularly spicy, but condiments helped that. I used a combination of 2/3 a T salted chiles, and 1/3 tsp dried chili flakes. I'd made spring rolls as well, and (hope this isn't terrible) just fried the shrimp the oil that was already in the wok. Though we really liked this dish - I love shrimp - next time I'd use less than the 3 T of peanut oil - it seemed a bit greasy to us. Will make again.
I served this with brown rice and Stir-fried peppers with Black Beans and Garlic (p. 201). Next time I think I'll serve it with some kind of steamed greens instead - it was a bit rich with the shrimp I thought, and I need to stop doing all stir fried dishes for each meal!
re: MMRuth
I agree about the Stir-Fried Peppers. They were perfect with the bbq lamb I made last night, but I think they'd overwhelm a dish with sauce.
I am addicted to them, though.
re: MMRuth
Last night I made the Fisherman's Shrimp with Chinese Chives (RCC p. 177). We loved this - huge, huge fans of it. I used much less oil than called for, and maybe that is why I feel like I like it more than previous posters. I had to use a serrano instead of a red pepper (none at the market) and realized at the last minute that I didn't have black rice vinegar (so used the other dark asian vinegar I had). Amazing, so full of flavor, nicely spicy. Served with rice and roasted eggplant that had been marinated in asian vinaigrette. This is going to go into heavy rotation around here.
re: LulusMom
Made this again tonight and again, totally fantastic. A huge hit with all. Very simple and even with some meds in my system (not martinis this time around, alas) I was able to do this kind of toss together at the last moment thing easily with it still tasting great. Side again was the coriander salad, and we couldnt' have been happier with the whole meal.
re: LulusMom
I made the Fisherman's Shrimp with Chinese Chives (RCC p. 177) last night and we LOVED it. I used significantly less oil and it wasn't enough. To do the initial stir fry of the shrimp, I used less than a tablespoon, which just wasn't enough. The marinade kind of stuck to the bottom of the pan, which I attempted to scrape up. Also, I did the variation of garlic chives and ginger. Unfortunately, I didn't cut enough chives and many of my chives stuck to the other stuff that was already on the bottom of the pan (again, not enough oil).
Despite all these oil issues, this was delicious. The marinade seemed to give the shrimp extra tenderness and flavor. And, the ginger, chives and salted chilies just kicked it up a notch. I honestly don't know if I like this shrimp dish or the fragrant shrimp dish better. They are both delicious and both going into the regular rotation. I still want to try this dish with the chinese chives though. Next time...
re: beetlebug
So glad you tried and loved it. My husband has decided this is his favorite shrimp dish - period, not just chinese.
re: LulusMom
Just a quick thanks to LLM mentioning this dish in the EGOR thread. I've been meaning to make this for some time, but never got around to it. I used the full amount of oil to fry and then used about a 1/2 T to stir-fry. Next time, I will follow JoanN's lead and skip the extra oil altogether and just use whatever is leftover in the wok. Both of us enjoyed this for dinner yesterday and would gladly make this again.
re: BigSal
Thrilled to hear that you liked it.
re: LulusMom
This was a big favorite for a few years, and then somehow (COTM I blame you!) it fell to the wayside. But once I realized that, and that my husband had mentioned that this was his favorite all time shrimp recipe, I thought I should surprise him with a revisit. Unfortunately my anything-but-green thumb has long since killed off the Chinese chives we had on the back porch, but regular chives did the job well enough, and everyone raved once again. So easy, and so delicious.
re: LulusMom
re: LulusMom
I have no reasonable explanation for why I haven't made this as yet. I love shrimp and I love Chinese chives. LlM, thanks for the reminder about this dish. You've now inspired me to make this dish and, look for Chinese chives at my garden centre! Can't wait to make this.
re: MMRuth
Fisherman's Shrimp with Chinese Chives, p. 177 (RCC)
Can't believe it took me so long to get around to trying this. Oh. That's right. I only got the book fairly recently so I wasn't paying close attention to RCC reports. My loss.
I made this with half the amount of shrimp but the full amount of everything else. Maybe even double the chives since they'd been in the fridge a bit long already. I used close to the full amount of oil for frying but then dumped all of it and used only what clung to the sides of the wok for stir-frying. Worked just fine and will do that again. My new batch of salted chiles was 10 days short of ready, but I used them anyway. Wonder if I'll notice the difference when I make this again.
I really loved this. If I didn't have to travel quite so far to get the Chinese chives, I'd be making it all the time.
re: beetlebug
I'm not familiar with yellow chives. Do they look like the green ones?
re: beetlebug
Now that you describe them as "flatter," I think I do recall seeing them and not knowing what they were. I'll keep an eye out for them. Was thinking it might be fun to try this with garlic scapes when they're in season.
re: JoanN
Oh my gosh! I get so many garlic scapes from my CSA and just can't think of enough ways to use them! Bookmarking this one in EYB this very minute!
Also, would you gals think less of me if I confessed I never tried to make my own salted chiles. Am I really missing out? How difficult is it?
re: The Dairy Queen
I wouldn't think less of you but you are really missing out. Unlike other hot condiments, this can't be bought in a store. And, it really is the universal condiment. I especially like putting the salted chilies with my dumplings. Plus, you are missing out on super delicious dishes, like the above shrimp dish and the cilantro salad (somewhere on the Dunlop threads).
The salted chilies are not difficult, just kind of a pain. You have to wash and dry all the peppers and then cut the heads and tails off before putting them in the food processor (I'm not hand chopping all those peppers). After a couple of whirls, mix with salt, put it in a jar, and then sprinkle more salt on top. Stick in a cabinet for a few weeks.
Be sure to wear gloves when you are cutting the peppers. Even just cutting the heads and tails, my gloves are slick with hot pepper oil.
re: The Dairy Queen
I made salted chilies for the first time earlier this year. I did it in September or October when the farmer's markets are full of fresh, hot, ripe red chilies. I only made a quarter recipe because I didn't anticipate using them that often. It wasn't that much work because I only had a quarter of the chilies to deal with, and I didn't need to drag out the FP. (IIRC, BB makes a triple batch!) I love them! They do not taste "chinese" or "asian" but simply like chopped fresh red chilies -- fresh, fruity and just a bit tangy from the salt. They are completely neutral so you can use them in any dish from any cuisine that would benefit from the taste of fresh red chilies. Just reduce the salt component of your dish a bit because the chilies themselves are salty. The best part of this condiment is that when you make it from fresh, ripe farmers market chilies, you can then have that fresh chili flavor all year long, instead of having to use the sad-sack chilies otherwise available at the grocery store throughout the winter and spring. So I would encourage you to try it this fall. And, yes, given that life often gets in the way of cooking dinner, 1/4 recipe is enough to last me the year.
re: JoanN
Fisherman's Shrimp with Chinese Chives [Garlic Scapes] (RCC, page 177)
So, three-and-a-half years later, I tried making this with garlic scapes. It wasn't a success, perhaps because I cut them, as I would the chives, into one-and-a-quarter-inch lengths as the recipe directs. In the dish they were flavorful, but woody. Not a pleasant texture. Perhaps if I'd chopped them finely I would have preferred it. As it is, I'll stick with either flowering or yellow chives. (Interesting to me to see that it was only three-and-a-half years ago that I didn't know what yellow chives were, and now I buy them whenever I see them, more often than not for this dish. Thanks, beetlebug.)
re: MMRuth
Fisherman's Shrimp with Chinese Chives, p. 177 (RCC)
I can't believe it took me this long to make but now I'm a fan too, especially since I love Chinese chives. I made the recipe as is with the full amount of chives, but less shrimp since it was just me.
Fishernan's Shrimp with Chinese Chives....Like minds MM!
We used half the oil called for and still found the finished dish too oily. A jalepeno pepper was used instead of the fresh red chili and a half of a red bell pepper to compensate for the color, just as MM did, only our jalepeno was hot. ( Did you know that you can freeze fresh peppers? They don't seem to lose any flavor or texture. A quick swipe under running hot water refreshes them) The other substitution I made was red pepper flakes for the salted chilis... 2 teaspoons. The finished dish was very tasty but the next time we make this even less oil will be used. We served this with Dan Dan Noodles....report on the appropriate thread coming up.
We're finding that the amount of a serving is just enough for two people with no leftovers. Much to DH's chagrin.
re: Gio
Fisherman's Shrimp w/Chinese Chives - Revolutionary Chinese, p. 177
Unlike Gio and MMRuth, we did not think this was too oily and I'm pretty sure I left about 3 Tbsp of oil in the wok, after frying the shrimp. It did sort of have a glisten about it, but certainly didn't taste oily.
We really liked this dish. It was my Salted Chiles' debut (they were made with red chiles labeled "hot chinese chile" at Super 88) and a very successful one at that. The chiles were zippy without overwhelming the delicate flavor of the shrimp and I used a hefty Tbsp. This dish was a teensy bit salty, I thought, but that was one of the things my husband liked about it.

I made a fake roll of toilet paper out of cardboard, and inserted a removable prank message for that moment of truth when your victim realizes that no salvation will come from that little white roll. I can't wait to get my little brothers with this guy!
Happy Pranking! And remember to vote for your favorite pranks starting April 3rd!
Disclaimer: This little roll of paper can be a powerful and day ruining little prank if used maliciously, so I suggest that care be taken when setting up where and on whom it will be used. Don't bring it to the mall and replace it for a real roll. Don't use it on your grandma. Don't be mean. April 1st should be fun day. ;)
Step 1: Gather your props
an empty toilet paper roll tube
a full roll of the paper you want to clone
a source of cardboard (cereal box, etc.)
glue stick (or double-sided tape)
scotch tape
scissors or exacto-knife
Also, about an hour of time and a victim with a sense of humor.
For the ends of my TP roll I didn't want it to just look like a disc of white paper, so I made a Word document with images that simulate the ends of a real roll of TP to print off and cut out. [Pic. 2] shows a printed example.
I simply Maced the toilet paper at the malls. It was easier.
I'll try this one.
I couldn't help but notice there's a typo on "Step 5 use it's power wisely young grasshopper..."
Thanks for sharing.
I think I will do it now, despite that 1. April is already over..
I think I'm going to anyways, this is hilarious.
Could you please reupload it in .doc (Word 97-2003 file)?
I only have licensed Office 2000 and don't want to install cracked software.
Mac -> WinXP SP2 licensed -> Word 2000 + patch = great! And still no cracked software!
Open Office, star office, Abiword etc all use .doc just fine (and all cost $0).
Also, there is a free "Word Viewer" (at bottom of the link) you might use, if you don't have Office at all.
Really like!
I machine embroider on Toilet Paper - just about any message - its a great gag gift also machine embroider on soap. It is easy to do.

problem being that you've given the victim at least 3 to work with :(

Seca 807 Aura Digital Bathroom Scale
The perfect combination of precision and design.
Modern lifestyle calls for modern technology and attractive design.
The exceptional stainless steel and glass design of the seca 807 conceals a highly efficient technology with 4 load cells to ensure precise results. The scale, which is not only robust but also low-maintenance, is especially suitable for use both in modern, sophisticated hotels and at home thanks to it being uncomplicated and reliable.
Easy, precise weight measurement with step-off function.
It could not be easier—with the practical step-off function, the scale is immediately ready for use without having to be switched on. The weight value appears as soon as one steps off the platform. The advantage: the scale automatically adjusts to zero without load (null balance) at each weighing. This takes any changes in the environment into account, thus ensuring reliable results. Scales which display the weight as soon as they are mounted are not nearly as precise.
Easy to read LCD figures and safety-glass platform.
An LCD display with 29 mm large figures means that the result can be read quickly and easily. As safety glass has been used for the attractive platform, it is guaranteed to be highly shock-resistant. Modern stainless steel elements connect the glass plate to the plastic base of the scale.
Power-saving automatic switch-off.
Ready for use at all times but still power-saving—the seca 807 has an automatic switch-off function. Should the capacity of the batteries decrease, a corresponding symbol appears in the display.
Technical data:
Capacity: 150 kg / 330 lbs
Graduation: 100 g / 0.2 lbs
Dimensions scale (BxHxT): 310 x 37 x 310 mm
Dimensions glass platform (BxHxT): 300 x 6 x 300 mm
Weight: 1.9 kg
Power supply: batteries
Functions: step-off, automatic switch-off

Noel is set on the snow-dusted streets of New York City. As shoppers buzz to finish last-minute gift-buying, several isolated individuals are missing out on the usual holiday cheer. Rose (Sarandon) is an emotionally fragile caregiver for her ailing mother, whom she visits in hospital on Christmas Eve as part of her lonely routine. Her night then unfolds as a series of unexpected encounters that will change her view of her world.
Meanwhile, police officer Mike (Walker) has a disturbing run-in with an older man, Artie (Arkin), who takes an unsettling interest in him. At the same time, Mike's unwarranted jealousy regarding his fiancée, Nina (Cruz), drives a rift between the couple just days before their wedding. And Jules (Thomas), a young hustler with a miserable life, resorts to extreme measures to return to the only place he ever spent a happy holiday. As these lives intersect in the anonymous city, they are not only touched by holiday happiness but also graced by something bordering on miraculous.
The cast includes Paul Walker, Susan Sarandon, Penélope Cruz, Alan Arkin, Robin Williams, Marcus Thomas, Daniel Sunjata, Rachelle Lefevre and John Doman.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 195
I have hundreds of his regular card and many of the other more rare versions of the same card including the autos the relics, the black parallel mini, the A&G parallel mini, the regular mini, a red auto, a silk mini and a one of a kind 3 card mini black parallel strip with authentication from topps . . . If anyone is still looking to pick up some of these I am happy to sell some of them, but I am keeping a minimum of one of each card for my own collection of disc golf memorabilia
From top to bottom these are:
1) The Regular Mini Variation (has card #73 on back)
2) The Bazooka Mini Variation serial numbered 22/25 (only 25 made)
3) The Black Mini Variation (more rare than the Ad Back but less than the No #)
4) The Ad Back Mini Variation (more rare than the Regular Mini but less rare than the Black)
5) The No # Mini Variation (only 50 made) the only difference to the regular mini is there is no # 73 on the back
6) The ragular base issue card #73, personally signed by Avery because I gave him some of these cards to give away.
7) The Autographed Framed Mini Variation (I believe 200 of these were made and signed)
8) The Red Ink Auto serial #'d 06/10 (From the Rip Cards . . .only 10 of these made)
9) The Silk Framed Mini Variation serial #'d 01/10 (The gold #ering is on the left side in the red part of the card)
10) The Black Three Card Mini Strip with Topps Vault Certificate of Authenticity (1 of a kind item)
11) The Relic Mini Variation (this one is with the Teal (Firebird I think) that he used during his World Championship. There is also another version where he used 5 of his Red Star Destroyers to make more of these cards. The teal one is 80% more rare because it was only 1 disc whereas the red were much more prevalent.
I have yet to see the Wood Mini Variation come through anywhere
These are from a set of (I think it was 30) "World champions" from the year avery won worlds. There were ones of the top rated/champions from all kinds of fringe "sports" like darts, billards, fencing...etc., kind of cool. The relics are from two of his discs he threw too win worlds, I know one was a champ destroyer and I don't remember what the other one was (teebird?)
Allen and Ginter is a Topps brand (a throwback form way back in the day) they put out every year, but that was the only year too have a "world champs" subset.

Although recent Liberian elections have generally been pronounced free and fair by the international community, studies show that even more than a decade after the end of armed conflict, some voters vote out of fear and ignorance. This is particularly true of rural women and youth, many of whom are illiterate and have no access to civic or voter education. This, in turn, contributes to wider governance challenges and corruption. more >>

Gen. John Allen Cleared In Inquiry Stemming From Petraeus Scandal
Originally published on Tue January 22, 2013 6:57 pm
Marine Gen. John Allen has been cleared in a misconduct inquiry prompted by the extramarital-affair scandal that led to the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus.
The Washington Post, which broke the story, reports:
"The messages from Marine Gen. John R. Allen were uncovered by the FBI during its investigation of Petraeus last year. The tenor of some of the e-mails, which senior defense officials described as racy and flirtatious, prompted Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta to order a formal inquiry.
"In a letter sent to Allen on Friday, the inspector general wrote that Allen had not violated military prohibitions against conduct unbecoming an officer, the senior U.S. officials said. 'He was completely exonerated,' one of the officials said."
If you need a refresher, we put together a "who's who" guide to the Petraeus scandal. Here's how we summarized Allen's involvement in the case:
"The FBI's investigation that uncovered the emails and revealed the Petraeus-Broadwell affair also led to the discovery of communications between Allen and [Jill] Kelley."
Kelley, if you remember, was the one who received emails from Paula Broadwell, the woman who was having an affair with Petraeus. She was the one who took those emails to the FBI.
NPR's Tom Bowman reports that the Inspector General found the allegations against Allen to be "unsubstantiated."
When the scandal broke, Allen's nomination to head U.S. and NATO forces in Europe was put on hold. Tom tells us that that there is no word on whether that nomination will proceed now that he's been cleared.
Earlier today, Kelley gave her first interview since the scandal broke. As Mark reported, she told The Daily Beast that she and Broadwell were not "romantic rivals" and that the number of emails she traded with Allen were in the hundreds not tens of thousands as had been originally reported.

Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled.
Removable legs.
Heavy gauge coil spring unit coils are linked together and attached to a heavy gauge border wire for consistency and longevity. Individualized coil seating units function independently of the other providing individual seating comfort for even support and weight distribution. Each spring is oven tempered to provide greater strength and durability.
The comfort soft seat cushion is designed and constructed to achieve a softer and supportive feel. A dense polyurethane foam core is laminated both top and bottom with a layer of soft foam and wrapped with polyester fiber to provide a comfortable seat and is encased in a non-woven ticking.
Loose back pillows are filled with a generous amount of polyester fiber. Non-woven ticking allows air to escape during use. The pillows are constructed with horizontal channels sewn in which minimizes shifting and settling.
Sleeper Mechanism Construction
Frame features tubular construction for greater strength and visual appeal. Low profile side linkage places metal parts below the mattresses surface. Polypropylene deck that is helically suspended on three sides provides a more uniform support of sleeping surface. Double locking TV headrest supports your body when reading. Unit will not close with the headrest engaged. Tubular one-piece leg construction improves support in critical weight areas.
Our optional Air Comfort Sleeper Mattress (inflates to 11")
The sleeper mattress uses air-over-coil (air mattress) surface technology to provide the same appearance, dimension, and feel as a standard luxury mattress. The system operates with an easy to use handheld electric pump that inflates the air bladder in 45 seconds. Adjust firmness at the touch of a button.

Julianne Hough's midnight and metallic frock had us on the fence, but in the end, we just couldn't get behind her starry-eyed surprise. The galaxy-inspired getup was a little too heavy on the sparkle to mix with ombre. Perhaps the combo would have worked better on a more streamlined column silhouette, but with the full-skirted A-line style, the look just didn't come together. What we did love: Hough's messy bob and soft makeup.

URMIS, the Uniform Retail Meat Identity Standards, is a standardized nomenclature system that provides a uniform method for labeling meat throughout the U.S. The URMIS program, developed in the early 1970s, was updated in 1995.
Prime is at its best in both flavor and texture when it is aged 18 to 24 months. About 58% of all beef produced is graded USDA Choice. The grading is based on three factors: the proportion of meat to bone (conformation), the proportion of fat to lean (finish) and overall quality. Beef grade is largely determined by the nature of the steer, although the industry tries, through breeding and feeding practices, to raise cattle that will earn a Choice grade.
Aging in vacuum packaging. Also referred to as wet aging, the beef is packed in a bag for several weeks to allow the enzymes to break down and tenderize the muscle tissue. This technique is used by some of the finest steak houses, such as Morton's, Others prefer dry aging.
Refers to the process of encasing meat cuts in bags or pouches fabricated from laminated plastic, evacuating air from the bags and sealing them for extended refrigerated storage.
Wagyu cattle are raised in Japan, the U.S. and elsewhere. In Japan, each calf stays with its natural mother for about 10 months, then is fed hay, rice, straw, barley and corn for 24 months. Because of both the cattle's genetic predisposition and this special diet, the beef contains a higher percentage of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids; the increased marbling provides a higher ratio of monounsaturated fats to saturated fats. Wagyu have about 70% monounsaturated fatty acids, specifically oleic and stearic acid, which make the beef "melt in your mouth." As you can see in the photo above, the high percentage of fat to meat means a very mouth-watering experience. As with USDA grading, Wagyu is also graded; A5 is the highest grade, with the most marbling, snow-white fat and red-orange lean (the muscle, or meat). See also Kobe beef.
See vacuum aging.
Yak are Tibetan cattle—perhaps the world's highest-altitude beef, from the Himalayan mountains. They are ranched domestically as specialty beef. See Himalayan beef.
A system of grading that estimates the percentage of boneless and closely trimmed cuts that can be obtained from the round, loin, rib and chuck/shoulder. Yield grades are Y.G.1 (leanest) through Y.G.5 (fattest).

Saints fan Nick Scelfo was at the Linc to watch his team win on a field goal as time expired. He recorded the moments after the Eagles lost, celebrating while being surrounded by Philly fans. Most of them ignored him, but one fan near him said, "I'm gonna spit in your face," a second before following through with his promise.
The video stops right after the spit, but Scelfo—a tight end at Nicholls State—said he ended up fighting the Eagles fan before police showed up.

Would you like to tell your leaders what you think? You have that opportunity through the 2012 Air Force Climate Survey.
The survey officially kicked off May 13, and soon all airmen will receive email invitations with a personalized link to enable them to share their thoughts, said Nicole Gamez, Air Force Manpower Agency. The survey will be available online through June 22.
The Air Force Climate Survey solicits opinions and perceptions of Air Force active duty, Reserve, Guard and civilian personnel on a wide range of topics, including resources, recognition, satisfaction and unit performance.
"Every member of the Total Force, military or civilian, plays a critical part in our mission success," said Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley. "The questions are hard-hitting and we need your direct, honest feedback."
The survey includes major command-specific questions, as well as opportunities to express opinions on how organizations can improve.
"Your feedback is confidential, so do not hesitate to let us know how you truly feel," Donley said. "If there are issues that need to be addressed, I want you to be candid and say so. If you are satisfied with your work environment, I would like to know that too."
Survey results will be briefed to Donley and the Air Force Chief of Staff in September.
"It is important to note that unit reports do not contain any demographic information aside from active duty, Guard, Reserve or civilian status and officer, enlisted or civilian category breakouts," Gamez said. "If fewer than seven people respond to any status or category, the results for that status or category will not be reported in a breakout at that unit level. "
All responses roll up to the next unit level until there are seven or more members who respond to that status or category, she explained.
Through the survey, all Air Force members are able to communicate concerns that directly affect them and the unit mission.
"The feedback serves to improve each organization and our entire Air Force," said Gamez. "Look for your personal invitation to participate in the survey in your inbox and speak today to shape tomorrow!"
For more information about the 2012 AF Climate Survey, and to view the results of the 2010 survey, go to the Air Force Portal and click on the survey link.

STATEHOUSE (Jan. 17, 2013) – State Sen. Tom Wyss (R- Fort Wayne) today announced his legislation to protect students while in school moved out of the Committee on Corrections and Criminal Law. Senate Bill 160 passed the committee Tuesday by a vote of 9-0.
Currently, school corporations can request either a national criminal history background check or a background check that searches state records. SB 160 would remove the second option and mandate any prospective school employee to undergo a national criminal history background check before being hired by an Indiana school corporation.
"This is a more comprehensive way of preserving the safety of our students," Wyss said. "In our schools' current hiring systems, it's easy for criminals to slip through the cracks if an employer only asks for a state background check. Now that we're only giving school administrators one option, we can ensure that won't happen.
"Leaving room for error is unacceptable when it comes to taking care of our children. This may seem like a small change, but it will make a major difference in school security."
SB 160 is eligible to be heard by the full Indiana Senate today.
