Attorney at Law
I don't need a will because I don't own very much.
If you don't create a valid Will, the state of California has a series of laws, known intestate succession, that will determine where your assets go and who will control everything that you own. State law may not distribute your assets to the people you want to have them. If you want to nominate a guardian for your children, then you need a will.
Many people wrongly assume that the only important asset is money, when in reality some of the most difficult family disputes involve the inheritance of personal possessions, like family photographs and heirlooms.
I don't need an estate plan because I hold all my assets jointly with another person.
This is one of the most dangerous ways to plan your estate. When you add another person to your bank account or to your real estate as a joint tenant, you are exposing that asset to every current and future creditor of that new joint tenant. The asset will also be exposed to gift tax, capital gains tax and estate taxes. Joint ownership does not avoid probate. Probate is delayed until the last joint owner's death.
If I have a good Will, probate will not be required, and my assets can be transferred immediately to the beneficiaries of the Will.
In fact, having a Will mandates a probate in most circumstances and the assets may not be transferred to the heirs for months or years.
Probate is a court proceeding to transfer title from the decedent's name to the living beneficiaries. Probate occurs in the state of your legal residence as well as in any state where you own real property. The length of time to complete a Probate varies, but can take six to eighteen months, on average.
If my assets are few, I will avoid probate.
In California, if you have a house worth more than $100,000, your estate will probably require probate, unless you use a Living Trust or some other probate-avoidance technique.
A Will covers all my assets.
Wills do not cover assets held as joint tenants with right of survivorship, retirement plans, annuities, life insurance, bank or investment account with transfer on death designations.
I can do my own estate plan.
Estate planning is more than just creating documents. It is understanding the big picture and how the legal documents will work in concert with the assets at the time they are needed.
You can't afford to rely on myths when it comes to your estate. Find out the facts, plan carefully and execute a plan to provide you with peace of mind and security for your loved ones.

1. What part of the cable was broken?
2. Was the cable plug going into the machine distressed by the steel falling on the cable?
3. Were wires in the cable cut (or shorted) by the steel? Which colors of wire strands in the cable were cut/shorted by the steel?
4. If you can check the voltages at the pinouts for the pedal (found on the schematic), it might give you a clue to where the defect exists.

well. I ended up sending the unit in to the place that i bought the welder and they sent it in for repair
I told the guy what happened and sent in the foot cable. ends up that it fried the circuit board in the welder! wow. I was surprised that they dont install some sort of safety device for this.
anyways they are going to replace the circuit board under warranty so i guess thats all that really matters.
good to know that miller stands behind there products in a scenario like this

What you are saying is that when the foot pedal is plugged in it overrides the controller on the torch.
Assuming that the controller component in the torch, maybe a variable resistor, is the same as that in the foot pedal then it would appear as though when the metal piece cut through the cable it shorted out the wires and fried something common to both the foot control and torch control.
That is most like a controller circuit board but is troubleshooting that within your capabilities.
Keep in mind I am taking a guess at this because I do not know that specific machine, but I am an electronics technician.

Blankenship Collision Center, LLC
Over the years, entrepreneurs have chosen the collision-repair profession for a number of reasons. Many were hobbyists who eventually followed a dream into the profession, and many have followed a father or some other family member into a body shop career. For Seth Blankenship, there was no particular dream or anyone to follow. He just didn't have a clue what he wanted to do after high school until the right set of circumstances presented itself. This did not occur, however, until Blankenship had set off down another path or two.
"When I got out of high school, I didn't know what I wanted to do and I was just kinda floating ... 'cause my mom was pushing me to go to college and I was burnt out on school and I didn't want to go to college. So then I went to work at TRW."
It seems that a few months at TRW working 12-hour days seven days a week opened the young man's eyes, and put him in just the right frame of mind to continue his education. "So I went to Vol State for about a year and a half."
At this point, Blankenship was pressured to choose a major course of study and he had to admit that he still didn't know what he wanted to do with his life.
He did, however, have a friend with a business called Hewitt's Body Shop in Lafayette, Tennessee, roughly 15 miles down the road from where his present shop is located. His friend asked him to come to work with him to "test drive" the business, so to speak. "So I went up there and took a couple of cars apart and said, 'Hmmm, I like this pretty good.'"
After finally deciding what career path he would follow, the next stop found him enrolling in the Nashville Auto Diesel College. The road to his eventual success got a little long and winding at this point, however. He had planned to go right back to Lafayette and work with his friend again, but there was no opening available, so he went to Nashville to work for Bradshaw Collision. "I worked there for about three months then he shipped me to Cool Springs and teamed me up with another guy who pretty much taught me everything," Blankenship said. His mentor, Harold, passed away leaving the young man "pretty much on my own." He stayed at Bradshaw's roughly two-and-a-half years, then went back to Hewitt's for a couple of years before again working for Bradshaw's, this time in Madison, Tennessee.
He has now been working in this field 12 years, and after going back and forth between shops as an employee, he now has his own shop.
A concern for many shops nationwide was identified by Blankenship as one of the biggest problems confronting his business. "What we run into is the customers not getting them fixed like they used to," he lamented. "They get the money and run." Because many individuals do not want to, or are simply not able to, pay their deductibles, they are not fixing a car that is drivable. "They want to put that money toward some other bill that they owe," he explained. "I'd say that's fifty percent of the reason that the body shop industry is kind of up and down - roller-coastering."
Blankenship Collision Center encompasses a total of 7500 square feet. Blankenship prides himself in having state-of-the-art equipment, including two UniCure fully downdraft paint booths on either side of a paint mixing room. They shoot Spies Hecker paints at this shop. His frame rack is a MegaRack 360 which will handle both unibody and full-frame vehicles, and the Touch computerized measuring system. He utilizes CCC Pathways estimating software. The shop also has a spot welder which puts in factory spot welds, says Blankenship.
Blankenship, who is a preacher, has an immediate answer when queried about the reason for his success thus far in his chosen profession: "That would be God," he said before explaining his rationale. "I wanted to put this shop in Gallatin, 'cause there's more volume in Gallatin."
Blankenship says that the shop is in Hartsville instead because he feels that God led him to its present location. "If you put it in his hands, it seems to work out a lot easier than if you try to do it on your own."
One day Blankenship's father told him the land where the shop now stands was going to be sold by the co-op that owned it, and he was able to purchase it before it actually hit the market.
Blankenship feels that it has gotten easier to deal with customers as he goes along in business, but he does not attribute this to any change in them, rather to his own growth both in age and in the business. "It's beginning to get easier to deal with them because I'm beginning to be able to read people more. Instead of just saying 'Okay, we're going to fix your car,' and then just blowing them out the door, I try to get to know them as I'm writing the estimate." He likes to talk to customers about their families and try to develop a personal connection with them, he says. "I like to make them comfortable, make them feel welcome."
He also believes that his relationships with insurance companies are going in the right direction. "They are definitely getting better I would say. You've still got one or two off-the-wall insurance companies that are really hard to get along with." These particular difficult companies are ones that typically cut estimates, he says, but he believes that for the most part the insurers he deals with are fair and are easy to get along with.
And what will be the biggest challenge for his business in the future? Customer relations is his answer. "Just keeping the customers happy. You know, as far as getting them in here and making them feel welcome. If someone doesn't feel welcome, they aren't gonna come back. So that's one of my biggest goals, to keep my customers happy," he said.
Blankenship Collision Center is located at 293 McMurry Blvd. West in Hartsville. You can reach them at (615) 374-2332 or Toll Free 1-877-374-2332.

Train hard, win races.
Changing tires due to varying conditions can be a pain, and quite frankly, a waste of time. Vittoria constructed its Zaffiro Pro II Clincher in such a manner that it takes on anything from rough roads to wet slick corners with zest and control.
Constructed with Vittoria???s durable Aramid Endura compound, the Zaffiro Pro II is built to roll fast, far, and without incident. The nylon Puncture Resistant Belt (PRB) found in Vittoria???s higher-tier rubber, like the Open Corsa and the Rubino, is also used here. The Zaffiro Pro II accomplishes all this without adding a large amount of rotating weight. Its newly developed tread, with deeper grooves in the middle and shallower shoulders, means you'll get excellent cornering in both wet and dry conditions. Since it's a 60 TPI tire, the overall cost is reasonably low for the high-quality performance.
The Vittoria Zaffiro Pro II Tire - Clincher is available in 700c x 23mm and in the color Yellow/black.

Cheap and simple
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I needed a cheap tire after one of mine blew out. I got two of these since the price was good. It does exactly what it claims to do. Can't beat that for the price.
The tire does need a bit of finesse and finger strength to put on the wheel. Practice a few times at home before you head out.
No punctures yet- rolling well. I don't mind the weight since I'm using this as a training wheel now.

Stanford Cardinal Football Details
|All NCAA Football Tickets
|See all NCAA Football tickets
3/4/15: The template for success at Stanford is pretty simple and traditional: play strong defense, run the ball effectively and finish off opponents with the passing game. But the Cardinal is having difficulty performing on defense in spring practices. The defensive line was already short staffed for a variety of reasons before defensive end Solomon Thomas suffered a foot injury. Additionally, defensive tackle Alex Yazdi has left the program and will transfer somewhere else for his final year of eligibility. That left just three defensive linemen practicing last week, and they may need a few more to actually play the games.
2/25/15: Stanford head coach David Shaw got on his soapbox last week to talk about his strategy in recruiting. Maybe he was tired of hearing fans, alumni and boosters complain that his recruiting class was not good enough (he has only had one class ranked in the top 10 in his five years), or maybe he just wanted to talk. In any case, Shaw described how Stanford looks for the right type of player - the type that will be loyal to the program. Like Michigan State, they target specific recruits rather than blanket the country with offers that may get pulled later if another recruit signs earlier.
2/18/15: A few weeks ago, there was speculation that Stanford's starting QB, Kevin Hogan, was considering transferring out of the program because he was unhappy at the school. The Cardinal got past that and Hogan is staying. However, his backup, Evan Crower, may very well have one foot out the door. He has not gotten much playing time over the years and that figures to continue if he stays. He would be a graduate transfer, so he could play right away without sitting out a year. No word on where he may go, but Michigan has been mentioned.
2/11/15: Recruiting at top ranked academic schools such as Vanderbilt, Notre Dame and Stanford has unique challenges that state schools simply do not have to deal with. So the fact that Stanford finished with the 18th ranked recruiting class in 2015 (according to Rivals) is pretty impressive. The Cardinal landed 22 recruits, including one five-star (wide receiver Trent Irvin) and six four-star players. Stanford did a lot to bolster their offensive line with four OL recruits, including four-star Nick Wilson of Alpharetta, Georgia. That seems to be in line with the Cardinal's philosophy of ball control and strong rushing.
2/4/15: Just in time to give the rabid college football fan a final rush before the real offseason is National Signing Day. Stanford again has done pretty well for themselves and ranked as the 18th best class in the country by Rivals at the end of January. The Pac-12 as a whole is doing pretty well with four teams in the top 25. Stanford needs to close well, especially since USC looks to have a top five class this season. One player who stands out right now is wide receiver Trent Irwin, who is a five-star recruit from Newhall, California. With the right QB in place, he may have a big future at Stanford.
1/21/15: Stanford may not have finished with the type of record they wanted last season, but they have some pretty good building blocks in place. More importantly, the Cardinal did not lose much in terms of underclassmen leaving for the NFL. Long time quarterback Kevin Hogan is returning with his 24-8 career record as well as secondary member Wayne Lyons. Lyons was projected as a late round pick, so staying does not really hurt his professional prospects. In any case, the Cardinal should be a tough out next season with veterans in key positions to guide them.
1/14/15: Jim Harbaugh left Stanford in able hands with head coach David Shaw, but that does not mean that Harbaugh is not trying to poach some of his former assistants for his new job at the University of Michigan. He tried to get strength and conditioning coach Shannon Turley, but Turley decided to stay in beautiful Northern California rather than the harsh winters of Ann Arbor. Harbaugh is also pursuing the Cardinal's defensive coordinator Lance Anderson. Anderson was on Harbaugh's staff both in San Diego and Palo Alto. Who knows, there may even be more potential posting in Stanford North.
1/7/15: Stanford may not have wanted to be in the Foster Farms Bowl, but that is where they ended up with a 7-5 regular season record. At least is was essentially a home game, as the bowl was played in Santa Clara, California. On the other hand, their opponent, Maryland, had to go over 2,000 miles to get there. Perhaps Maryland should have stayed home as the Cardinal routed the Terrapins 45-21. Stanford literally ran through Maryland, amassing 206 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the day. The win improved the team to 8-5 and getting ready for next season.
12/3/14: Stanford's disappointing regular season ended last Saturday, but at least it ended in the best possible manner for the Cardinal. Playing at UCLA, the Cardinal clobbered the No. 8 ranked Bruins 31-10. The Bruins had been hoping for an outside shot at getting into the College Football Playoffs, but needed the win plus a win in the Pac 12 Championship Game to do so. This loss ensured they would not even make it to the Conference championship game, and, instead, the Bruins will settle for a bowl game. Stanford improved to 7-5 on the season and now waits to find out where they will play in their bowl game.
11/19/14: The Stanford Cardinal continues to struggle, particularly in Pac-12 play. The Cardinal fell to 3-4 in conference with a double overtime loss to visiting Utah, 20-17. As far as college football games go, this was a rather dull affair during regulation, with each team only managing one TD (when did they start playing defense in the Pac-12?). The teams exchanged touchdowns in the first OT. Stanford managed a field goal in OT number two, but Utah answered with the winning touchdown. The Cardinal is 5-5 and needs one more victory to be bowl eligible. That could come this weekend at rival Cal.
11/12/14: The Pac-12 is probably a better conference than most people want to believe - particularly those that believe that the college football world begins and ends with the SEC. The benefit to this is that there is a good chance that the Pac-12 champion will be in the new College Football Playoffs. The downside is that most teams will knock each other out. Stanford has been one of those teams victimized by the conference success. The Cardinal was off last week but is back in action this Saturday against a feisty Utah team that is looking for respect.
11/5/14: Stanford had high hopes for the 2014 season, but clearly this is not the same type of Stanford team as we have seen for the past several years. For the past two years, the Cardinal has doomed Oregon's national title hopes, but could not get it done for a third consecutive time. Oregon routed Stanford 45-16 with a balanced attack. The Cardinal defense simply had no answer for Marcus Mariota this time, who put up almost 350 yards of total offense and four touchdowns alone. Stanford now sits at 5-4 on the season and gets a week to regroup before hosting Utah.
10/29/14: Stanford had little trouble with Pac 12 opponent Oregon State, cruising to a 38-14 win. The Cardinal set the tone early with fourth touchdowns in the first half to put the game out of reach for the visiting Beavers. QB Kevin Hogan was better than his previous effort, throwing for 277 and two scores, as well as running for 39 yards and a touchdown. The two interceptions are concerning, but Stanford had enough to easily get past those mistakes. The Cardinal improved to 5-3 overall and 3-2 in the Pac-12. Next up will be a tougher test when the Cardinal heads to No. 4 Oregon.
10/22/14: The challenging 2014 season continues on for the Stanford Cardinal, who were at No. 17. Arizona State last Saturday. The Sun Devils got off the better start, scoring two touchdowns to take a 14-0 lead into halftime. The teams played pretty even the rest of the way, meaning there was not much there for the Cardinal. The offense was struggling all day and totaled less than 300 yards. The loss knocked Stanford to 4-3 on the year and 2-2 in Pac-12 play, as well as booted them out of the Top 25. Stanford is back home this Saturday to host Oregon State.
10/15/14: The Stanford loss to Notre Dame was the second of the season. It dropped the Cardinal all the way down to a 25th place ranking. Stanford is probably better than 25th, but these rankings are always fluid. However, had they lost to Washington State, then they surely would have been out of the top 25. They avoided the upset and improved to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Pac-12, but it was not without an effort by squeaking out a 27-17 victory on Thursday night. While the win may not have been dominant enough to impress the pollsters, it should be considered that it was just five days after playing Notre Dame, which is always tough to do.
10/8/14: Stanford suffered their second loss of the season, dropping their record to 3-2 on the season last Saturday. The No. 14 Cardinal was in West Bend, Indiana to face the No. 9 Fighting Irish, but could not hold on to a late 14-10 lead. Notre Dame scored a touchdown with 1:01 left in regulation. The Cardinal got the ball to mid-field, but the drive stalled. Trying to get into field goal range, QB Kevin Hogan was called for intentional grounding with only a few seconds left, and mandating a 10 second run-off to end the game. Stanford's next game is Friday night at home against Washington State.
10/1/14: The Stanford Cardinal entered their road game at Washington ranked 16th in the country, but with an 0-1 record in Pac-12 play. They were able to escape a close game with the Huskies with a 20-13 win, which required a late winning touchdown and needing the defense to shut out UW for the entire second half. Stanford struggled in throwing the ball as QB Kevin Hogan only managed 178 yards with one TD and one INT. But the overall team running game came through with 186 yards on the ground. It does not get any easier this week as the Cardinal travels to Notre Dame for a premiere matchup.
9/24/14: It is common for powerhouse teams to have their first few games at home in any given season - especially against creampuff teams. But Stanford had USC, as well as the regular guaranteed wins on the schedule, during September. What that means is that the season is only a quarter over, but half of the Cardinal's home games are done with. Another way to look at it is that six of the next nine games will be on the road. Stanford had a bye last weekend, which was a good chance to get everything in line. Their next game is on Saturday at Washington State.
9/17/14: Stanford suffered a big loss in Week 2 of the college football season when they were upset at home by USC. But the Cardinal's season is not over and the team is bouncing back. The loss pushed the Cardinal back to number 15 in the rankings. Stanford showed the armed forces very little respect by trouncing Army 35-0 at home. Kevin Hogan was efficient in completing 20 of 28 passes for 216 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. Stanford has a bye this week, giving them a few extra days to prepare for the new look Washington Huskies on the road.
8/28/14: Is this the year that Stanford finally breaks through and wins the National Championship? They have been close several times in the past decade or so and have been to a number of top bowl games. The Cardinal is the definition of stability. They stick to the same tried and true smash mouth brand of football - both offensively and defensively - that has gotten them to the top of the mountain. The North division of the Pac-12 will again be daunting, but if Stanford can make it past Oregon, then they may be able to go undefeated in the conference and earn a way into the playoffs.
8/21/14: Perhaps the Cardinal can use this as motivation. Stanford is the defending Pac-12 champion and made it to the Rose Bowl last season. The foundation that Jim Harbaugh laid several years ago has been in good hands with current head coach David Shaw. But that is not getting much respect from the AP. In the first AP ballot, Florida State was ranked number 1 (not surprising) and Alabama was number 2. Stanford was not even in the top 10, falling all the way to number 11. Perhaps the team can use this to their advantage. After all, FSU was not in the top 10 a year ago either, and they did nothing except go undefeated and win the national championship.
8/14/14: This should be a great season in the Pac-12. While the SEC still has the overwhelming lead in terms of public perception of being the best (toughest) conference in the land - the Pac 12 is not far behind. Oregon and UCLA will be strong. USC is starting their comeback. And Stanford has been a top team for the last several years. That does not figure to change in 2014. One game that will get national attention is when the Cardinal visits Oregon on November 1. Oregon won last year's game 26-20 at the Farm, and Stanford has their eyes set on payback this year. The winner may well end up winning the Pac 12 and getting into the first top tier college football playoff.
8/7/14: The first coaches poll of the 2014 season came out last week. Predictably, reigning champion Florida State was ranked first and Alabama second. Cardinal fans may be disappointed to see Stanford shut out of the top ten and behind Pac-12 rivals Oregon (4) and UCLA (7). Stanford came in in the 11 seed, which was still ahead of USC (15), Arizona State (18) and Washington (25). Of course, a preseason poll really means nothing, and no polls are particularly important until the end of the season. And just for reference, FSU started last season ranked 12th.
7/31/14: Stanford will have some tough competition in the Pac-12 this coming season, as they try to defend their conference championship and get into the new college football playoff. The Oregon Beavers are always strong. UCLA could surprise a few people. And USC looks like they are reloading. The Cardinal may also be without their best receiver in Ty Montgomery for the start of the season as well. He is still recovering from surgeries on his arm and knee. He will probably miss the first game of the season against UC-Davis, and head coach David Shaw admits that "it will be close" for the USC game.
7/24/14: Stanford head coach David Shaw seemed to be former head coach Jim Harbaugh's hand picked successor. Often times, successors do not enjoy the same success as their predecessors, but Shaw has more than held his own as the head coach. At least Stanford feels that way. The school seems intent on keeping him and new federal tax records indicate that they about doubled his salary. Shaw was mentioned when Texas' head coaching job was open, but all indications are that he is happy in Palo Alto and not looking to leave a good situation any time soon.
7/17/14: You cannot blame a man for wanting to expand his career and take on new challenges, so it was understandable when Stanford's defensive coordinator left Palo Alto to take the head coaching job at another prestigious university playing in a major conference - that being Vanderbilt. Aside from getting the coach, Vandy has now gotten two of Stanford's players, tight end Davis Dudchock and wide receiver Chandler Dorrell. Both can play immediately as graduate transfers. Dorrell also happens to be the son of new Vanderbilt offensive coordinator Karl Dorrell, so it makes sense that he would want to play for his father.
7/10/14: If there two things that hold true in college football it is that 1) schools/programs like to take jabs at their rivals, and 2) recruiting is a year-round process. The Cardinal has been pretty quiet about shots at rivals, as is custom under David Shaw (though not the case when Jim Harbaugh ran the show). But they did get a verbal commitment from four-star offensive lineman Nick Wilson. Even more impressive is that Wilson is from the great state of Georgia, right in the middle of SEC country. He also had offers from elite programs such as Auburn, Florida and Florida State.
7/3/14: Stanford had an outstanding recruiting class this year and the new freshmen are ready to get their college careers started. Some of the names for Cardinal fans to keep an eye on are offensive lineman Reilly Gibbons and defensive back Terrence Alexander. Stanford's rise from doormat to national power came under Jim Harbaugh and his successor, David Shaw, has done more than a fine job of keeping the machine moving. That is especially important as USC looks primed for a return to form and Oregon is a powerhouse every year. Stanford has the talent to win the Pac-12, now they just need to do it.
6/26/14: The Stanford Cardinal picked up another commit this week as Jake Bailey said he was heading to the Farm. OK, so this is not a stud QB or defensive end, Bailey is a place kicker. But that is incredibly important as well. Bailey can hit the 50 yard attempt and blast kickoffs into the endzone for a harmless touchback seemingly at will. In high school, he also played defensive back and receiver (though will not do that his senior season). This was not a drawn out process either. He performed well at Stanford's specialist camp, was quickly offered and accepted on the spot.
6/19/14: It is never too early to talk about recruiting in college football. Recruiting, of course, is the lifeblood of any program. There is a lot of discussion about moving national signing day or even getting rid of it altogether. That may happen, but not for next year. Stanford, like USC and many other top programs, is hotly pursuing five star cornerback Iman Marshall. The Cardinal and Trojan are considered the leaders for his services, and he is expected to start immediately for whatever program he chooses. There is still a good seven months or so until he signs with a college, but this will be one of the most interesting recruiting processes to watch.
6/12/14: Preseason honors are nice, but they really do not mean anything because not a single down has been played in college football, and will not be for another three months. Heck, Jameis Winston (FSU) won the Heisman Trophy last season, and a year ago was not the starting QB. That being said, early recognition is nice and four Stanford players won preseason honors. Senior WR Ty Montgomery was named All -Purpose Player of the Year and a first team All-America. Andrus Peat and Jordan Richards were Second-Team and A.J. Tarpley earned third team honors. This is more a recognition of past service, but nice nonetheless.
6/6/14: The Pac-12 is widely considered the second best conference in college football, but still way behind the SEC. That may all be changing in the near future, or at least the gap could be closing. Stanford has been a national powerhouse for the past decade and has earned the right to be in conversation of elite programs. That should stay the same this year. Helping them is a revamped USC and a continually strong Oregon program. Washington should not be discounted either. In any case, Stanford should be among a few Pac-12 teams that could end up in the top ten overall by next January.
5/29/14: Thanks to former Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Cardinal is considered an elite team in college football. That means that they get a lot of media attention, which is generally good. It also means that they are a popular choice for games by up and coming programs. Their dance card is pretty full, but now Vanderbilt wants a shot at them. It makes sense though. Both are highly revered academic institutions and play in a big time conference The difference is that Vandy is just now growing into being a legit top 25 team while Stanford is established. At the same time, Vandy's new head coach is the former DC for the Cardinal, so perhaps they can work something out.
5/22/14: Stanford won the Pac-12 last season by beating someone from the South division in the Conference title game. Most people know that the majority of the talent is in the northern part of the conference (though USC may be on the verge of competing again). If the Cardinal makes it again, which is a vey likely scenario, they can stay close to home. The conference announced that the Pac-12 Championship Game is moving to the new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Seattle was a possibility, but the new stadium apparently was too good to pass up.
5/15/14: Stanford did not have another Andrew Luck going to the NFL this year, of course that kind of talent only comes around once in a blue moon. And while the program may have lacked some of the star power of recent past drafts, the Cardinal was fairly well represented in 2014. David Shaw and company continued their success at player development with several guys getting the call, including Trent Murphy (round 2, Washington), Cameron Fleming (round 4, New England), David Yankey (round 5, Minnesota), and Tyler Gaffney (round 6, Carolina). So even though there were no household names, Stanford still can develop NFL talent.
5/8/14: Head coaches in the college game often equate themselves to a father figure. So it goes to figure that they have a certain amount of emotional attachment to their players. That can be both good and bad, but mostly positive in seeing a kid grow up into a professional football player. Stanford head coach David Shaw will get to experience it live during the NFL draft. He will join Jimbo Fisher (Florida State) and Brian Kelly (Notre Dame) on the NFL draft broadcast, and offer analysis of drafted players. It is an interesting perspective, and a nice touch for the broadcast.
5/1/14: You can take Jim Harbaugh out of Stanford, but apparently you can't take Stanford out of Jim Harbaugh. The 49ers, like many teams, hold their own local pro day prior to the draft, which means they get to invite players who played or grew up locally. That is good for San Francisco, because Stanford is considered 'local', and they got to invite 14 former Stanford players. Those players do not count against the 30 players that the league allows teams to invite for visits - which gives the 49ers a huge advantage over other teams on evaluating talent.
4/24/14: No one may be talking about it yet, but Stanford has to be watching the outcome of the unionization vote by Northwestern University football players. Stanford, like NW, is a private school and their players could follow the Northwestern players' lead. Stanford head coach David Shaw claims that he is confused as to what is driving the players toward unionization. Shaw also says that he does not know of any unionization efforts at Stanford at this time. That being said, Stanford, like Notre Dame and Miami, could see something similar to Northwestern in the near future.
4/17/14: The Cardinal lost four of their five starting offensive linemen from last season's team, which won the Pac-12 and went to the Rose Bowl. So this spring practice time has been very important in determining who will be protecting the quarterback in the fall. But it has been a productive spring and head coach David Shaw has his starting five now. Still undetermined are several positions, including tailback, inside linebacker and free safety. The starting running back position battle is particularly interesting but no starter is expected to be named until training camp in the summer.
4/10/14: Stanford has the luxury of having an experienced QB this season, so they do not have to break in a new one. Kevin Hogan's grip on the job seems secure. He is not as dynamic or explosive of a player as, say, Jamies Winston or Johnny Manziel, but he is a proven winner and gets the job done. He has led the Cardinal to two straight Rose Bowl appearances, and that is a pretty good resume. Newcomer Keller Chryst should make some waves this fall and may be the heir apparent to the starter's position. Look for him to lock up the backup job and get some game time in early in the season.
4/3/14: The Cardinal head football coach, David Shaw, has done an excellent job of continuing the fine performance of his predecessor, Jim Harbaugh. Shaw had some interesting comments on a recent interview, including his preference for the late NFL draft this year (which is due to a scheduling conflict at Radio City Music Hall in New York City) as well as his coaching philosophy. Shaw claims that he does not coach motivation. He expects his players to be properly motivated without help from the coaching staff. Perhaps that is a reason that Stanford is continuously among the top programs in the country.
3/27/14: Former Cardinal head coach Jim Harbaugh deserves so much credit for his time at Stanford. Everyone knows that he brought the program back from the dead, got themselves into the National Championship discussion, and introduced QB Andrew Luck to the world. But it goes much deeper than that. Four years later, the Cardinal is still thriving. Stanford held their pro-day recently and it was attended by representatives from 29 of the NFL's 32 teams. Also, several former players (current NFL players) showed up to encourage their former teammates. That is the kind of support that money does not buy, and a big reason why Stanford will continue to be successful in the future.
3/20/14: The Cardinal, most likely, cannot play the underdog card much anymore. They have used that for several years now, but they are no longer David facing Goliath. They are Goliath. It goes back a few years when then-head coach Jim Harbaugh said they would beat mighty USC despite being 41 point underdogs. They won. They also have been to a few BCS Bowl games since then, including the Rose Bowl (as the Pac 12 Champion) just a couple months ago. Sure, USC looks revitalized and Oregon is very good, but Stanford is still the champ until further notice.
3/13/14: The Cardinal has had a busy offseason. There has been a considerable amount of turnover both in terms of players and the coaching staff. Every team loses players each year to graduation or declaring early for the NFL draft, transfers or even suspensions. Stanford is no different, including losing more than a dozen seniors and losing offensive guard David Yankey and safety Ed Reynolds to the NFL. They also lost their defensive coordinator and assistants to Vanderbilt when that job became available. Stanford also has its usual tough schedule, but the team seems undaunted by the challenge, and should be competitive again in 2014.
3/6/14: It is being reported that Cardinal wide receiver Kodi Whitfield will be moving to the defensive side of the ball to play free safety. Stanford has a glut of receivers, but needs help I their secondary. Head coach David Shaw approached Whitfield about the move, but has stressed that the decision was all on the player. By making the move, Whitfield will probably get more playing time than at WR. It also addresses an immediate need of the team. There will probably be some bumps on the way, but it is nice to see a player do whatever he can to play and help his team win.
2/27/14: 2014 is shaping up to be a challenging year for the Cardinal, but champions do not worry about such things. The coaching staff has undergone a good bit of turnover, especially with former defensive coordinator James Franklin heading to Vanderbilt to be their head coach and taking a few of his assistants with him. The schedule makers are not doing Stanford any favors either. Stanford is the two time defending champion of the Pac 12, and that means a tough schedule. The also lost a dozen seniors and a few underclassmen to the draft. They have 11 starting spots to be filled. But this is a strong program, and they will survive all the obstacles.
2/20/14: Stanford has done a remarkable job for most of the past decade in rebuilding a program that was the doormat of the Pac 12 (Pac 10 back then) and making them a national powerhouse. Former Cardinal head coach (and current 49ers HC) Jim Harbaugh deserves the credit for the turnaround, which was made public by a dramatic upset of USC several years ago when the Cardinal was a 41 point underdog. Stanford has stepped up their efforts this season by displaying their lovely weather to East Coast recruits who are buried and reburied in snow right now. Not a bad tactic, though FSU can claim that Florida is the only state without any snow today.
2/13/14: Stanford landed a pretty good recruiting class in 2014, which is to be expected of a team that has been in BCS bowl games for the past few years. The program has officially transferred seamlessly from former head coach Jim Harbaugh to current HC David Shaw, and has not missed a beat. In the middle of all of this, five star recruit defensive end Solomon Thomas had some fun in his decision. He pulled out a minature tree and donned 'nerd glasses' when he announced his decision to attend Stanford. It is nice to see a recruit having fun with the process, which may have gotten too serious in the last few years.
2/6/14: With national signing day upon us, the Cardinal is looking (like everyone else) to replenish their stock. Stanford will lose a lot to the NFL, including guard David Yankey and defensive end Trent Murphy. It looks like they will be able to re-up at defensive end with both Uriah Dillon and Harrison Phillips. Additionally, Boby Okereke is a top linebacker prospect and the team is likely to land running back Christian McCaffrey and QB Keller Chryst. Stanford can also lean on their NFL success, as former coach Jim Harbaugh has led the 49ers to three straight NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl, while cornerback Richard Sherman is probably the best at his position in the NFL right now.
1/30/14: Stanford felt the poaching effects already this offseason a few times. First, Texas was said to be interested in head coach David Shaw. Shaw stayed (probably a smart decision considering the program he has and the pressures at Texas). Then defensive coordinator Derek Mason was hired as head coach at Vanderbilt after James Franklin left to take the same position at Penn State. The Cardinal stayed in-house to fill the open DC job. The school announced last week that outside linebackers coach Lance Anderson has been promoted to DC, while continuing to coach the linebackers. Anderson has been at Stanford for the past seven years.
1/23/14: When Texas was looking for a new head coach, many thought that Stanford head coach David Shaw would be a good match. Shaw was not interested in going anywhere and stayed at Stanford. However, his assistants have other ideas. Most notably, defensive coordinator Derek Mason took the head coaching job at Vanderbilt. It looks like a good move for Vandy. Mason has had success recruiting top tier players at a high academic school, and he has taken lesser recruits and made them quality players. Its hard to fault a guy for earning a promotion, so best of luck Derek Mason.
1/16/14: The Cardinal is still reeling from the Rose Bowl loss to Michigan State, which provided far more questions than answers. Head coach David Shaw stayed with the game plan - a drag 'em out, bare knuckle, throwback fight to see who was tougher. Sparty was on that day. Shaw has only lost seven times since taking over the program from Jim Harbaugh, but the criticisms are starting to mount. Mainly that he does not adjust well to the in-game situations. On the other hand, he has kept a mighty machine rolling in a place where it is tough to get top recruits because of the outstanding academics. Enough with the criticism, the Cardinal is much better than could have ever been expected.
1/9/14: Stanford completed their 2013 season with a disappointing loss in the Rose Bowl to Michigan State. The Cardinal was favored by many experts going into the game because it was believed they had the better offense. MSU pushed those thoughts aside and took control of the 100th edition of the game - cutely nicknamed Sparty vs. Smarty. Head coach David Shaw has steadfastly denied any interest in another job. It looks like he was telling the truth. He will not be going to Texas, as they hired Charlie Strong from Louisville, and he is not reported to be interviewing for any NFL job.
1/1/14: Stanford is a day away from playing in the Rose Bowl, the reward given to both the Big 10 and Pac 12 champions. They will face Michigan State in a matchup being referred to as Sparty vs. Smarty. All cute nicknames aside, this will be a tough, grind-it-out, old fashioned football game. Both teams feature strong defenses and potent rushing attacks. Do not expect a shoot out in this one. In other news, Stanford head coach David Shaw says publicly that he has no interest in other positions, which may leave Texas booster a bit mad.
12/26/13: Stanford has an interesting matchup in the Rose Bowl against the Michigan State Spartans. Both are old fashioned teams. They feature solid QB play, strong running games, and stout defenses. In other words, neither is a gimmicky or high octane offense that can put up 80 points a game. In other news, head coach David Shaw continues to shoot down speculation that he will leave for a high profile job. Stanford is a premier program and Shaw has expertly maintained the high level that former head coach Jim Harbaugh established. That is good news for the Cardinal, and bad news for Texas.
12/19/13: Sanford probably does not need the distraction, but it will probably be around for a while. With Mack Brown officially stepping down as head coach of the Texas Longhorns, there are some rumors that UT may have an interest in Cardinal head coach David Shaw. Shaw has done a remarkable job maintaining the program that Jim Harbaugh built up before bolting to the NFL. Sanford is preparing to play in the Rose Bowl on January 1st against the Michigan State Spartans. However, until Brown's successor is chosen for what some consider the best job in college football, there will be speculation about Coach Shaw.
12/12/12: The Stanford Cardinal apparently heeded the warnings about getting dehydrated in the desert air to defeat the Arizona State Sun Devils 38-14. Stanford was simply more powerful, and more prepared for this game, and finished up the regular season with a very impressive record: 11-2 overall, 7-2 in conference, and 6-0 against top 25 teams. Head coach David Shaw and company have done an excellent job of keeping the program that Jim Harbaugh resurrected rolling at a high level. Stanford earned the right to represent the Pac-12 in the Rose Bowl, and will face Michigan State.
12/5/13: Number 8 Stanford had an interesting regular season finale in taking on #25 Notre Dame. The game did not have any bearing on the Pac-12 race - the Cardinal already has a place at the table against Arizona State this weekend. But it is a long standing rival and the winner gets the Legends Trophy. Notre Dame won this game last season en route to an appearance in the National Championship Game. Stanford came through this time, winning 27-20 at home. It was a challenging final tune-up for the match with AZ State, and the right to represent the conference in the Rose Bowl.

Powder SkisWaking up to the sound of Avy bombs is hard to beat, but getting your next pair of Powder Skis from The House Boardshop at bomb prices is pretty close! With up to 40% off, your new Powder Skis will take you on more excursions with all that dough you just saved! Free shipping on orders over $50 might just give you that extra day of skiing on the hill. The-House.com, keeping the stoke alive since 1982.
160 Results for Powder Skis
Powder Skis are worth investing in for people who are particular about the type of snow they want to ski. These skis will cater perfectly towards…..powder. But before we can dissect the ski we must first define the snow.
What is "powder?"
- Freshly fallen snow that is not compacted nor tracked up
- Deep, light, and airy snow
- Its soft, smooth feel will give you a floating sensation
- Regional due to the level and type of snowfall required. (ex. The Rocky Mountains are renowned for their succulent and extremely light powder, often referred to as "Champagne Powder")
There are many ways to describe powder and lay out the benefits of its pure majesty but the common trait among devoted skiers is the constant search for this epic snow. However, riding powder can be a tricky endeavor for the less experienced skier and for those who don't possess the adequate equipment. Hence, THE POWDER SKI.
When a skier wants to learn powder skiing they will need the appropriate gear for maneuvering. Most powder new comers will start with All-Mountain skis. These are appropriate because they allow the user easier control in differing snow conditions on all types of terrain. An All-Mountain ski will provide much more versatility than a pure powder ski but performance is sacrificed when skiing in more extreme levels of powder.
Powder skiing is usually done by intermediate to advanced skiers due to the increased level of difficulty and energy needed. Therefore, with a powder ski there are many defining characteristics.
Wider skis ranging from 100-140 mm in width for the ability to float on top of this loose, deep snow. The width can be a limiting factor. When off of the powder the ski can lose a considerable amount of edge-to-edge quickness.
Softer flex allows for a better ability to stay on top of the snow and grants a more playful feel. Adds a great "pop" in the turn transition.
Camber and Rocker hybrid technology is used; giving the ski more flotation capabilities than smaller, skinnier skis. Dramatic sidecut makes for less effort needed from turn to turn.
These type of skis are also great for skiing in Crud Snow. Crud Snow is wind, weather, and skier affected snow. Previously fallen and skied, Crud is set up and hard. Powder Skis can power through this difficult snow condition. Wider skis are recommended for both Powder and Crud. Getting a ski which is too small can result in a more difficult and effort filled skiing experience. As with anything, skiing in powder will take practice and proper instruction from the right mentors. Do not be afraid to ask for sizing advice. Be sure to get the right tool for the job in terms of skier type and snow conditions. This simple advice can make your trip a lot more pleasurable.
With widths ranging from 105mm to 130mm, you'll never have to worry about getting slowed down while out chasing freshies. The extra width allows you to float like an angel above all that glorious powder. Also equipped with twin tips, originally made popular by freestyle skiers (allowing them to ski backwards), powder skis twin tips are phenomenal for handling in the powdered snow, the way you want them to. Twin Tip skis are also forgiving, allowing an easy recovery from slips and spills.
Powder skis come in a variety of colors and designs, guaranteed to fit your unique style. If you're going to take to the deep snow this season, grab yourself a pair of powder skis from The House and take to the mountain like a pro. We carry dozens of brands and over one hundred different pairs so you can carve out your own path without letting the groomed trail dictate your adventure!
Powder not your thing? Our ski shop carries a full variety of skis from all-mountain and twin tip to alpine touring and park.

The 10 Best Karaoke Duets Of All Time
The 10 Best Karaoke Duets of All Time
Karaoke is quietly one of the most underrated activities to take in with a group of friends on a Friday evening. There's nothing like grabbing the microphone, getting up on stage, and belting out a tune like you're music's next superstar. Stage presence is a must when performing, so playing the part is very crucial. Maybe just as important is making sure you have a partner in rhyme for the night.
Choosing the right song to perform as a duet at karaoke shouldn't be overlooked. You have to have chemistry with your partner, and the song you choose likewise needs to provide a proper balance between both performers. Ballads are a great place to start, and there's certainly nothing wrong with spicing up the mood by doing an upbeat tune. To help you in the selection process, we've put together a list of 10 contemporary pop songs that are perfect for a karaoke duet. A few records here can be performed as crowd pleasers, while others will test your showmanship skills, not to mention your vocals. However, If done right, your duet performance of one of these songs will be the night's highlight.
Pink ft. Nate Ruess, "Just Give Me a Reason"
Heartbreak never sounded so good on Pink's "Just Give Me a Reason," where the 34-year-old singer teams up with Nate Ruess of fun. The tone of the record is melancholy as the two sing about the opportunity to love again despite suffering through a relationship that has seen better days. The key here is emulating the deep emotion that both Pink and Ruess deliver, and shedding a fake tear or two on stage with your partner is a great way to drive that point here.
Beyoncé ft. Jay Z, "Drunk in Love"
Music's biggest power couple Beyoncé and Jay Z have worked together several times in the past, but nothing they've done up to this point can top the raw passion that's found on their latest collaboration "Drunk in Love." The playful demeanor of the record blends well with the seductive production here, and channeling Beyoncé's sultry vocals on the hook will certainly win over the crowd. However, while Beyoncé's part on the record is certainly the anchor, make sure either you or your partner has got Jay Z's verse on lock, because it can make or break this performance. Check out how Jay and Bey perfected the act on GRAMMY.com.
Janelle Monáe ft. Miguel, "PrimeTime"
Janelle Monáe and Miguel capture the sweet and soulful vibe of their R&B predecessors on "PrimeTime." A throwback to the '80s, this romantic neo soul record is meant for that special someone in your life, so focusing on that theme with your singing partner will take this performance to another level. Swaying in sync to the smooth production would be a nice addition to the overall ambience. And if they're available, turn on some neon lights to enhance the mood.
Rihanna ft. Mikky Ekko, "Stay"
Performing a ballad like Rihanna and Mikky Ekko's powerful "Stay" can be difficult because, let's face it, you might not have the pipes to match their vocals. And with only a piano track underneath your voice, that's pretty much all the audience will hear. Instead of attempting to match Rihanna and Mikky note for note, stay within your range and concentrate on evoking the emotion of the record. You want the crowd to connect with it as if they were going through a heartbreak of their own.
Keith Urban ft. Miranda Lambert, "We Were Us"
There's nothing like a carefree country tune that reminisces on the good times of our younger years. Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert deliver this vibe on "We Were Us," a record that's as charming as it is catchy. The great thing about performing "We Were Us" at karaoke is that both you and your partner get to share an equal amount of the spotlight. There's also a lot of back and forth singing on this record, so be mindful of when it's your turn. If executed properly, the crowd will respond to your performance just like they do in the "We Were Us" music video.
John Mayer ft. Katy Perry, "Who You Love"
Over the years, John Mayer has made a name for himself by creating powerful love songs that many can relate to. His duet with Katy Perry, "Who You Love," is no different, where the two play up the theme of fate when it comes to finding your soulmate. To show you and your singing partner understand the importance of "Who You Love," lock eyes while you sing the chorus. It's a fun, intimate moment that goes a long way.
Ariana Grande ft. Nathan Sykes, "Almost Is Never Enough"
Ariana Grande's debut album Yours Truly proved she was much more than a Nickelodeon star, which is where the 20-year-old artist initially earned her stripes in the entertainment industry. Of the several records on the album that displayed her amazing vocals, one in particular, "Almost Is Never Enough," stood out among the rest. The song is a duet with The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, and centers around a sweet companionship that feels ready for the next step, but unfortunately doesn't work out. Ariana Grande is hitting some high notes in the whistle register here that would make Mariah Carey proud, which should be left untouched unless you want to damage your vocal chords. Instead, play up this puppy love ballad like you're back in high school and holding out for that one call from your admirer, except the phone never rings. That should be your state of mind.
Coldplay ft. Rihanna, "Princess of China"
Considering Coldplay rarely collaborate with other artists on their albums, it was an unexpected surprise to hear the respected UK band work with Rihanna on "Princess of China" off their 2011 release Mylo Xyloto. The record walks a fine line between rock, R&B, and synthrock, with Rihanna and lead singer Chris Martin going back and forth about a royal relationship that wasn't meant to be. Your performance here shouldn't emphasize a gloomy state of mind, but rather a moment of reflection with your singing partner.
Pitbull ft. Ke$ha, "Timber"
Pitbull's latest single "Timber" is an unabashed attempt at blending country music with today's electronic music craze. And it works for the 33-year-old Miami rapper, thanks to his vibrant execution and Ke$ha's wonderful appeal on the hook. The best way to approach this song at karaoke is by feeding off the energy of the track. Also, planning a few choreographed steps before hitting the stage can be a savvy way to display your showmanship. It will definitely get the crowd a buzzing.
Gotye, Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)
Belgian-Australian singer Goyte says that sometimes he feels like, "less of a musician, more of a tinkerer." Whatever tinkering he did with Kembra when they put together "Somebody That I Used To Know," worked. He racked up three wins at the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards, including one for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Somebody That I Used to Know." The duo lays out the feelings you have towards a previous relationship when they transition out of your everyday life. To take on this song for your karaoke performance, belt out the lyrics with energy and a touch of playfulness.

Gallery: Brazilian Home Showcases Light, Art, and Salvaged Materials
The Eugenia House by Brazilian Architect João Diniz tells a story of sunlight, cool breezes and art. The home's tall, simple roof creates a large open living space that is light, airy and provides views of the neighboring trees in Lagoa Santa, Brazil. What makes it unique though is how the structural framing and railings are made from reused sewer drain pipes, and the project's façade is graced by a bas relief by the Brazilian artist Jorge dos Anjos. The overall effect maximizes light and space in a relatively small footprint.
By building up rather than out the house make great gains. The uppermost tinted awning windows create a draft, flushing cooling air through the entire home without fans. Light cascades though the house, bouncing off the white ceilings and filling the lower level. The airy loft affords a grand view of the adjacent hills and a grove of trees. The upper and lower spaces open completely to the adjacent patios. An overhang helps keep the hot direct sun out and creates shelter during stormy weather. The entire roof is white to help reduce afternoon heat gain.
The arched roof, oversized awning and internal railing and loft are supported by a host of pipes salvaged from old sewer lines. The supporting structure enhances the airiness of the design, while the side walls are made from masonry brick. The huge and lively bas-relief art set on the outside walls is a piece by Jorge dos Anjos. It is deeply influenced by African art brought to Brasil during the time of the slave trades. His reliefs are energetic, poetic and elemental.

This house is really great, I've known it since I was an architecture student in Brazil. But you should know the architect's name is João Diniz, and not the english version John.

Recipe by Charlotte
"A quick and easy recipe for real homemade tomato soup like no other you've had before."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

4 cups
chopped fresh tomatoes
1 slice
whole cloves
2 cups
chicken broth
2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
2 teaspoons
white sugar, or to taste
This soup is absolutely delicious! Although, I must admit I made several changes - mostly based on previous reviews! I've made this several times and always double the recipe. I saute lots of chopped garlic in olive oil and then add the chopped onions (2 large) and saute until tender. I add chopped tomatoes (with skin and seeds) and bring to a boil. I then add the chicken stock and cook for about 20 minutes. I cool slightly and add fresh chopped basil (about 3 TBSP). I puree with a submergible blender (you can use a regular blender) and then add the roux as described in the recipe. I only add a half tsp sugar. In addition to the salt I add pepper to taste. I add 2 TBSP balsamic vinegar and about an 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper. I add 1 cup heavy cream. I've only made this soup with home grown tomatoes. Now that the season is over I'm going to try it with store bought or even canned tomatoes. This soup is very sophisticated and I think would be great for a dinner party. It was so good my Hubby wouldn't let me share it!! I'm already looking forward to next years tomato crop - I'll never have too many now!!
Try the Greykitty customized version of this recipe. I used whole tomatos, no peeling of the skin necessary, and the seeds. use 1 whole onion for the recipe. Double it. And I was just short of 8 cups of tomatos and had a can of stewed on hand and used them. Use fresh basil, not dried. I do not have a food mill so blended after cooled and was delicious without the extra work or waste of peeling and de-seeding. Also this recipe does not say to add basil so you have to use some common sense and add some if you use this recipe as is. The customized version was delicious and will make it over and over. canned tomatoes will work too. Loved it!

This recipe turned out excellent; the soup tasted so fresh and healthy. A few notes about this recipe. First, the recipe says "1 slice onion"; I treated this as though it said "1 sliced onion", and it worked out perfectly (I am sure this is what was intented). Also, as someone else noted, this recipe as it stands does not make enough soup. I doubled the recipe and it made enough for 5 people to have one medium sized bowl of soup each. At least double this recipe, if not triple it. Also, by substituting vegetable stock for chicken broth, this recipe is vegetarian-friendly.
In addition, I made the following alterations: added 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp crushed garlic, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 cup milk, 1 Tbsp oregano, 1 tsp thyme, pepper to taste.
This soup was the best. I didn't have cloves around the house, but it still turned out wonderfully, I added some garlic instead. Also, Rather than discarding all of the tomatoes after they'd cooked, I pureed them for a few seconds in the blender, and added them to the rue. It was fabulous. Thanks!!!
I always get a kick out of the reviews that change a recipe so much that it is no longer anything near the original! Look, the whole point of this recipe is that it is uncomplicated. There are plenty of really good fancy-sassy tomato soup recipes to try, if that's what you want. But this soup sticks to a great principle: simple recipes are often the best. And the result is what tomato soup should taste like. Few additives and fresh, ripe tomatoes. Real tomato flavor. Don't change a thing and you will be rewarded.
Very Very Good. This is by far MUCH better than canned tomato soup. I've been making it for two summers now. I peel the tomatoes first because I do not have a food meal. I used to seed them too, but I found that a lot of the seeds come out while chopping them and any seeds left usually disappear in the blender. I put the entire pot of soup in my blender (be careful! Once I burnt myself) and blend it to make it very smooth. I take out the onion first. I use one whole onion cut in half. It adds a good flavor to the soup. Some of us put a little milk in our individual servings. We all enjoy the soup very much! (TIP: Dunk tomatoes in boiling water for 30 sec to make the skin come right off. I've also have held them under hot tap water until the skin came off easily. Chopping them while they are still a little warm causes even more seeds to be left on the cutting board and not in your soup.)
This was a delicious soup Charlotte. I did not have any fresh tomatoes on hand, so I used 2 (28 oz) cans of San Marzano Italian Peeled Tomatoes by "Cento". They are one of the BEST brands of canned tomatoes and the next best thing to fresh! I did use the liquid from one can, but drained the other and mashed the tomatoes by hand. I sauteed 1 chopped onion and 2 cloves of garlic in a little oil and butter until soft and threw in 1 bay leaf and the cloves for a few seconds before adding the tomatoes and broth. I sprinkled in a little thyme and oregano after adding the tomatoes and skipped the roux. I stirred in 4 Tbls of butter to give the soup a heartier taste and instead of a food mill, I used my hand mixer to blend it all together. At the end I stirred in 1/2 cup of whipping cream and about 15 fresh minced basil leaves. Just a quick tip...always add basil at the end of your cooking time. You never want to "cook" fresh basil very long because it will loose it's flavor. Thanks for sharing.
This recipe was wonderful. Best tomato soup I've ever had. I added 2 cloves of crushed garlic, an extra bay leaf, and whole peppercorns (green, black, white, and red) along with the cloves. I also used vegetable broth to make it vegetarian. Top each bowlful with a handful of garlic croutons, and enjoy.

This year the Nitro Rook and the new Nitro T1.5 both won the prestigious Transworld Snowboarding Good Wood Awards. Nitro´s boards have been winning the Good Wood awards for over 6 years now. Below are short descriptions about what TWS had to say about them:
Your chariot de shred. The Rook is built with a flat camber profile that's easy to press, float, pop, and still hold an edge when you have to dig in. Those edges are also 50 percent thicker than the standard, so they can take hits without cracking. New this year is thinner core profiling between the feet for better board feel and flex, and thicker zones outside the feet for ollie and landing power. Another additive for 2013 is a tip-to-tail slab of fiberglass for added pop.
Category: All-mountain
Sizes: 152, 154, 156, 158
Tester Feedback: "Super fun all-around board. I like the flat camber, it's the best of camber and reverse camber; stable yet forgiving."
TWS Video Review Here: NITRO ROOK
New to Nitro's line, the T1.5 builds on the success of its predecessor, the six-time Good Wood winning T1. Featuring classic standarrd camber, this deck will keep you planted if you land a little backseat. The core profile is thinned between the inserts and beefed up underneath them, riding with a forgiving torsional flex without compromising tip-to-tail stability.
Category: All Mountain
Sizes: 153, 156, 159
Tester Feedback: "Sporty board. Great off jumps and fun on rails."

The body's immune system has many jobs including fighting against bacteria, parasites and fungi. It is also essential in keeping the body healthy from infection.
The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues and organs that together prevent and defend against attacks to the body, according to Rachel Perkins-Garner, 56th Medical Group registered nurse.
"The attackers are called 'foreign invaders;' the most common being microbes, tiny organisms such as bacteria, parasites and fungi," she said. "Our body is the ideal environment for many microbes, but it also has a defense system — the immune system."
The primary function of the immune system is to keep out anything potentially harmful, and if invaded, the immune system will seek out the microbes and viruses to destroy them, Perkins-Garner said.
"The immune system is extremely complex," she said. "It can recognize and recall millions of different invaders and can produce secretions (antibodies/cells) to match up and destroy the majority of these microbes and viruses."
Perkins-Garner relates how the immune system works to how bees work.
"Billions of cells, which are organized into sets and subsets, swarm like bees around a hive and pass information back and forth in response to a threat such as an infection," she said. "When the immune system detects a foreign cell or organism they initiate an attack."
Having a strong immune system keeps the body healthy, but a weak immune system can compromise the body's ability to fight back.
"A poor or weak immune system leaves the body susceptible to infection," she said. "Think of a cancer patient who is receiving chemotherapy; even a simple trip to the store can expose them to hundreds of foreign organisms. This exposure is enough to enter the body, which may overwhelm the immune system and lead to an infection. If the immune system is functioning normally, it will easily destroy the virus or microbe."
While a weak immune system can be detrimental to health, according to the Harvard Medical School website, www.health.harvard.edu, there are things one can do to help keep the immune system strong and healthy.
Harvard Health Publications recommends people who want to maintain a healthy immune system:
- Avoid smoking
- Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and low in saturated fat.
- Exercise regularly
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Control blood pressure
- Avoid alcohol or drink in moderation
- Get adequate sleep
- Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing hands frequently and cooking meats thoroughly
- Get regular medical screening tests according to age and risk category

The HEAD ATP ball has again proved itself as ball of choice in this year's Davis Cup competition. The ball was used in 7 out of 15 World Group ties contested this season in the prestigious international team competition and is being used in the 2011 final between Spain and Argentina starting today in Seville.
In the Davis Cup, each host nation is allowed to choose its preferred ball for home matches and therefore, the use of the HEAD ATP ball reflects the express desire of captains and players. Unlike in the football Champions League, the combination of ball and surface is critical and most important throughout the three-day weekend, with no second chances, no home-and-away fixtures and losing teams being eliminated immediately.
The HEAD ATP has proved to provide more spin, more control and more durability under the most extreme competitive conditions, performing to optimum levels on all surfaces. This will again be the case as host Spain bid for a fifth Davis Cup trophy since 2000 against three-time runner-up Argentina.
HEAD is especially proud to be the most-used ball during the 2011 Davis Cup World Group. As the Official Ball of the ATP World Tour, the HEAD ATP has also been played at the year-end Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London, as well as ATP Masters 1000 events in Shanghai and Paris-Bercy.
During the Davis Cup weekend, fans of HEAD Tennis on Facebook have the chance to win a year's supply of HEAD ATP tennis balls in HEAD'S 'Guess & Win' competition on http://www.facebook.com/headtennis.

This is the best stuff I ever tasted, my mother-in-law's recipe. Can't have Thanksgiving without it!
1 Lb cranberries (12 oz pkg will do)
2 C applesauce
2 C crushed pineapple
2 C sugar
wash berries, cover with water and cook until soft, then drain. Dissolve jello in 2 C boiling water. Add cranberries, applesauce, pineapple and sugar. Refrigerate. Stir once it starts to gel. Store in fridge.
(I add a handful of chopped walnuts to ours, it tastes great, but Uncle Kevie doesn't like nuts, so the one we serve at the main dinner is nut free!)

Initially, I set up an alias to send me there, but I hated having to press "Enter" to select the result that launched the htmlview, so I poked around, discovered the FScript plugin, and made a very simple plugin. Enjoy!

Maryport shop owner fed up with parking tickets
Last updated at 16:46, Friday, 09 November 2012
Rigorous parking enforcement is threatening livelihoods in Maryport, a leading town centre businessman has claimed.
Peter Nixon, of Curzon Street furniture and carpet shop Nixon's, said he was so fed up with the situation that he was contemplating retirement, which would mean the closure of one of Maryport's largest and longest established businesses.
He added that he wanted to hear from other businesses affected by parking policies.
Mr Nixon said: "Maybe if we get together we can do something.
"I have had 20 parking tickets this year, and my customers who get tickets may decide it's easier to shop online or go where there is decent parking."
He said he regularly received parking tickets for leaving his van on the street while loading up.
"We have to park near the shop to load and unload our heavy furniture, but Allerdale council is just making it more difficult," he said.
"I can't afford to pay someone to stay with the van all the time, so it means I get a ticket for leaving it unattended."
Mr Nixon said he was well aware that parking rules were needed but he was angry at the way they were being enforced, when businesses already faced lean times.
An Allerdale council spokeswoman said: "We appreciate Peter's concerns over parking enforcement, but they are in place for a reason.
"If we were to make parking enforcement easier on some people and not others, this would cause considerable further problems."

Have your say
Theres a cheap public car park behind that shop, and the disc zone ends about 2 steets away
It just shows that the councils don't care about shop traders, they just want money.

New York is the epitome of a global city, reflecting the world in its expansive diversity of cultures, ethnicities, and ideas. NYU students reflect this diversity; they arrive from all over the country and the world not only to find themselves and "make it" here, but to teach—and learn from—each other (not to mention build amazing friendships along the way). This makes student life at NYU a remarkable, life-changing experience unlike that at many other colleges.
Students at NYU are in the unique position to experience a college lifestyle in a city setting. NYU offers many of the essential activities that are traditionally associated with college student life, and its location in the heart of New York City creates a setting that presents a myriad of non-traditional opportunities that will supplement and accentuate the student life experience.
While here, students can join a fraternity or sorority. They can join one of our sports teams: NYU athletics range from intramural soccer to varsity fencing. They can develop and engage in a diverse, personal spiritual life. Academy Award winning directors and prize winning writers have honed their craft in NYU classrooms. Students can follow in their footsteps, exploring radio, film and the printed word by contributing to or joining one of the University's student media outlets. From Washington Square News to WNYU Radio to Tisch film courses, NYU students take advantage of New York City as a global center for media, journalism and communications.
Student living at NYU is a unique experience of its own. Students can live in residential housing near the Washington Square campus—soaking in the vibrant Greenwich Village neighborhood—or they can live off campus in one of the five boroughs and beyond. With either option, students aren't just residents of a college campus; they are citizens, users and a vital aspect of one of the world's largest, diverse, most interesting cities.
As members of a metropolitan community, NYU students have access to the University's greatest resource: New York City itself. They use the city to launch a great career. Students intern for the world's most influential companies, biggest media outlets and largest organizations. They network with some of the most powerful people in the city, the country and the globe. Students also get involved in the community, volunteering or working for one of the city's many charities or even starting community service organizations of their own. That's just one example of how students take leadership positions that prepare them for what lies ahead after college.
NYU is "in and of the city," and now with its growing global presence, in and of the world. Student Life at NYU reflects this. An NYU education is an experience like no other: diverse, cosmopolitan, vibrant and rich. NYU students do not just become well-rounded college graduates, but accomplished global citizens. Navigate this section to find out more about Student Life at NYU.

New York, NY -- Stan Fischler, MSG Broadcaster and hockey
historian who currently contributes daily to MSG GameOn Blog, has impacted the hockey world with his unique and insightful
coverage in all forms of media throughout the United States and Canada for over
50 years. "The Maven," as he is referred to for his wealth of hockey knowledge,
now extends his coverage to the only independent monthly publication covering
the New York Rangers, the Blueshirt Bulletin. "Blueshirt Bulletin is proud to have Stan Fischler become part of
the family, " said Editor and Publisher Daniel Akeson. "Stan is a
good friend and a well respected voice in the hockey community." "His insight will be an invaluable addition to the Blueshirt Bulletin.
Readers will truly enjoy his fond recollection of Rangers lore as well as
current team analysis." Fischler will be contributing a monthly column beginning with the December
issue focusing on unique stories of New York Rangers history as well as
analysis of the 2009 – 10 Rangers team. "Blueshirt Bulletin is a unique opportunity to reach the most
devoted New York Ranger fans," said Fischler. "They offer complete
coverage of the team and I believe my contributions can enhance that." Fischler and Akeson began working together several years ago, work which has
paid off in Fischler and co-author Glenn "Chico" Resch's newest book, Who's
Better: Rangers, Devils, Islanders, or the Flyers. The book examines the
best debates of which team reigns supreme in a variety of categories such as
"Best Stanley Cup Team" and "Best Captain of a Championship
Team." "The content of the book is incredibly interesting as it serves both as a
point of debate and discussion for rival fans as well as historical insight
into the four franchises," said Akeson. "Stan and Chico bring a
hockey voice that cannot be replicated." Fischler has authored or co-authored over 90 books in his career, but has taken
a different approach to this latest publishing. "This book is for the fans, anyone can pick it up and enjoy it," said
Fischler. "Unlike a strict hockey history book, Who's Better incorporates fan perspective with interesting analysis, debate, and
tales." The book is currently sold online through the website WhosBetter.net and will
be in book stores in time for the holidays. Questions regarding the book or Fischler's Blueshirt Bulletin coverage
can be directed to the Editor and Publisher Daniel Akeson at firstname.lastname@example.com. Stan "The Maven" Fischler is a famed hockey historian and
broadcaster and serves as the resident hockey expert for MSG and MSG Plus. He
can currently be seen providing pre and post game features and reports for the
Rangers, Islanders and Devils on MSG's weekly comprehensive hockey show
"MSG Hockey Night Live" and offering his unique insight on MSG's
sports blog "Game On!" Blueshirt Bulletin,
published by Blueshirt Publishing, LLC, is the Independent Monthly
Publication covering the New York Rangers hockey team since 1991. The Print
Edition is printed monthly, for 10 issues a year. To subscribe, visit the

The Allen County Commissioners Friday agreed to spend $230,061 to upgrade heating and cooling controls at the County Jail. The work will consolidate controls installed during various expansions.
Building Commissioner Dave Fuller, meanwhile, told the Commissioners that the Allen County Community Development Corp. sold 331 properties in 2012, including 67 that included structures, for a total of $364,952. The corporation accepts tax-delinquent or abandoned properties and sells them to responsible new owners. Fuller said the group still owns 638 lots, but only 10 contain structures.
