By Brian Rice KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.- When Peyton Manning left the University of Tennessee, he didn't just walk away with an SEC Championship and virtually every record in the passing section of the media guide.
Manning left campus with two degrees earned with honors, the result of a relentless approach in the classroom that rivaled the one that he applied on the practice field. And while his dominance of the record books cemented his football legacy, it was an academic contribution that has perhaps paid the greatest dividend.
On Monday afternoon, two of the highest-achieving in-state students entering the University of Tennessee, Alex Crockett from Jamestown and Cody Sain from Medina, were named recipients of The Manning Scholarship, an award in its 17th year that has now rewarded 21 of the best and brightest students to enter UT since 1998.
More than just recipients of an award, Manning sees the honorees as members of a family. His family.
"It's been a great connection to me, with the University, not just the football program," Manning said as he signed items and posed for pictures with Crockett, Sain and their families in the locker room at Neyland Stadium that bears his name. "I've been just as proud of that. I'm a great supporter of the football program and been in touch with it, but it's been a connection with the student body, the academic side of it, the campus life part of it. All of these students that have received the scholarship have gone on to do great things on campus and continue to do great things. It's been a family, and that's been very important to me."
A member of that family, 2010 Tennessee alumnae Nora Hassell, returned to campus to share with Manning and the newest what the scholarship had meant to her and her life. She recounted how the scholarship allowed her to attend UT without burdening her family and how the lack of debt has helped her and her husband as they embarked on starting a family of their own.
In introducing the newest recipients, Manning stood under the famous "I Will Give My All For Tennessee Today" sign and encouraged them to live it. A message that hit home for Hassell.
"When you ask me what I do, this is what I do every day," she said, gesturing to the sign. "I'm a local girl, I grew up about 35 minutes from this university on a dairy farm and I've chosen to stay here and invest in these people and my family."
"It means a lot," Manning said of Hassell's words at the podium. "You're trying to make an impact, but each of them are personal and you don't know what it's going to mean. It's a personal connection to each of them. To hear that, what it meant for her current family with her husband and daughter and for her parents as well, that was the idea. She took advantage of her four years here and the resources provided to her and we're proud to be a part of that."
Sain, who will be a Pre-Medical/Microbiology major at UT, said the scholarship not only removed a financial burden from his family, it gave him the confidence entering the University that his dreams and aspirations are now goals right there for the taking.
"This scholarship is a blessing," said Sain. "With every week comes something new, it just changed my life. With this scholarship, I know people believe in me and that helps me believe in myself even more. With that, I plan to do great things.
For Crockett, who plans to major in Food Science Technology, receiving The Manning Scholarship has been an extra push to live up to the honor. The fact that he grew up a fan of Manning on the field only underscores that extra expectation.
"For years Peyton's hard work, dedication and selflessness on and off the field has been an inspiration to me and has changed so many lives," Crockett said. "I feel like it has challenged me to find my own path so I can do the same. It's not just an opportunity, it's a challenge. I don't know what the next four years have to offer, but I know what I want to get out of it. Like Peyton, I don't plan on quitting anytime soon."
Manning asked both to stay in touch with updates on their academic careers and lives, as other members of the family have done. But most of all, he wanted them both to live up to the words on the sign, encouraging them to take a photo with it as they left as a reminder of the mission ahead.
"I remember hearing a quote from Peyton once that life is about making decisions, first you ask questions, then you listen to the answers, then you listen to your heart," said Crockett. "I never dreamed I would be a Peyton Manning Scholar and would be compared to such a great representative of the University of Tennessee. When I received that award letter, I was so humbled to be a part of this family."
"It's so special in its uniqueness, it's a Tennessee Volunteer," Sain said of Manning's challenge. "Being a part of that family with Peyton, it changes your life. It means giving back to the people that made me, not just back in my community, but all over Tennessee. Without Tennessee, you're not who you are."

Surrey Historic Records go online in 2013.
It's amazing how the internet allows news, good & bad, to whizz round so quickly ! Thanks to Chris Paton & Kathryn Hughes on Twitter for the great news that the Bishop of Guildford has allowed Ancestry.co.uk to start to scan and put online the parish registers of Surrey. The Surrey History Centre has also entered into a partnership with Ancestry so that a wide range of Surrey records will be made available next year.
The Surrey History Centre has issued a statement that tells researchers that whilst the process of scanning the images is taking place some records each day will not be available. A phone call in advance of any visit would be advisable.
The records being scanned are
Church of England parish registers from 1538 (baptisms to 1912, marriages to 1937 and burials to 1987)
Land tax records 1780-1832
Electoral registers 1832-1945
Brookwood Hospital Woking, Registers of Admissions 1867-1906
Holloway Sanatorium, General Registers 1885-1904
Calendar of prisoners: Surrey Sessions and Assizes 1848-1902
Freeholders Lists 1696-1824
Licensed victuallers 1785-1903

Marquesa is a book penned well before the existence of blogs, but it is the type of published work every fly fishing blogger wishes he'd written. Author Jeffrey Cardena's account of his solitary venture by houseboat in the Marquesas Keys, an atoll sitting 30 miles west of Key West, is as compelling a first person fishing narrative as you'll read.
Cardenas was, and still is, a well-regarded Keys fishing guide, but his words are not confined to that world. He writes without pretense, in a natural voice that perfectly reflects his sheer joy and wonderment from being immersed in this wilderness with tarpon, permit, sharks and even cassiopea. He limits his descriptions of the actual fly fishing–a very good thing–and when he does talk about it he avoids altogether the angler as hunter-hero stalking prey vibe that bogs down much outdoor writing. Plus, Cardenas is well aware of the historical, cultural, and political significance of his surroundings and his weaving of that into the work gives it heft.
It seems weird to be writing a review of a book first published in 1995. But it has been out of print for years now and, in the process has attained a cult status. I first heard of it in a conversation two years ago, and had been trying in vain to find a copy not selling for $400 on eBay. That Departure Publishing** has republished it as an ebook has given it a rebirth and an entirely new audience. (It parallels the release of Tarpon on dvd, both in buzz and in quality of content.)
As an ex-Floridian who never made the crossing to the Marquesas Keys, I had great expectations for this book. Marquesa met them; I found it hard to put the Kindle down. Cardenas ends the book perfectly but too soon. I want more, and more than ever, I want to get there.
**(Yeah, my book is published by Departure too, but I have no vested interest in posting about this one. I paid full price for it and wrote this review unsolicited.)

Arsène Wenger believes that September could be a defining month for Arsenal - starting with Sunday's trip to Anfield.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea are all on the Premier League agenda for Wenger's side before October while the Champions League group stage also gets underway in the next few weeks.
Wenger is not overly concerned that Arsenal failed to find the net in their opening two games of the campaign but he admits that the next four weeks will be important.
"It is of course [a defining month] because we play big teams and how well you do against big teams decides your end position in the table," he said.
"There will be some massive months coming up for us because there are Champions League games too but the good thing about them is that these [big Premier League] teams are involved in Europe as well."

I was so lucky that the house we were assigned to has a quilting project going on every summer. Each year the volunteers at the house hand-piece a quilt top using worn-out pioneer costumes from years past. It felt pretty make-it-do authentic. This year we started paper-piecing these 9-patch diamonds. I loved it.
We also started hand-quilting the hexagon quilt the volunteers had pieced the summer before. Sitting on that shady porch hand-quilting, visiting with my sister-in-law who I rarely see, but enjoy so much, with my kids out roaming and exploring in the fresh air. It was so great! And so therapeutic as I was dealing with all my thyroid nonsense. (Plus it was fun to see that little guy so earnestly want to learn to quilt!)
It was a good reminder of why a slower paced life is a good thing. Granted, we weren't trying to survive by the sweat of our brow – our main task was to great guests, explain the history of the house where we were, etc. But that was fun too! One of my favorite visitors was a woman from Italy who is a fellow quilter. All of it was a good reminder as to why a slower-paced life, not to mention visiting with old and new friends in real life, is a great thing for our well-being.
Obviously some beautiful treasures. There was also a quilt made with appliqued squirrel pelts. (I'm not making that up.) I took a picture but refrained from posting. 🙂 (Don't worry – it's not as bad as it sounds. Think just the fur part of the squirrel.)
I LOVED this star quilt. I think this is the inspiration for my next paper-piecing project!
No matter what our heritage, there are people in our past who made sacrifices for us to have the comforts, freedoms, and opportunities that we have. It was an enriching thing for me, and my kids, to learn a more about and appreciate that heritage a little more. And to take some time to realize how enjoyable life is at a slower pace. So, whether we do it again or not (though I suspect we might), I'm so glad I learned to appreciate just turning off the gadgets, slowing down, and hanging out with the people I love most.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks folks,
Tommorow morning I will make adjustments on the timing to see how that works...I will post again tomorrow night to give ya'll a SITREP...Thanks very much for the suggestions and thanks for the patience!
Take care,
|Got a fan shroud?????? If you dont, get one before you continue. If you do, fill er up with water and put the cap on and finish the break in. Personally, I wouldn't have anything but water in it until I knew everything was holding water. Coolant will kill your bearings if you have an internal leak.
|Rick WI
Ditto lucky number 7. Think of it this way, your rejecting about 15 HP running it up to 2200 with no load on it, if that. If the cooling system has an issue with that there is a problem. There is also no reason to not run a thermostat.
With your radiator it should have a hard time getting up to temp on break in not overheat.
There is a hiccup somewhere.
38 is a lot of timing for that setup. I'd be in the 35 or 34 range.
First, I never run without a thermostat.
Second, you have an airflow problem..... too small of a fan... ditch the electric and go to a fan clutch......
Third, you have too small of a radiator.
Bulloney=== 210 degress at 2200 rpm is way-way-way too high. What are you gonna do when summer gets here??????? Running 250* in traffic will be no fun for you at all.
Your engine should never have gotten above 170 if you had a decent cooling system.
re: thrilling moment
congrats on your startup. INMHO vacuum leaks cause lean mixtures which can cause overheating. check upper end for proper oiling. radiator cap is necessary for pressure needed to raise boiling point as previously mentioned. I agree about too much timing during break in. that leads to another point . heat is generated as parts seat in there for elevated temps early on may be normal. recheck what members have mentioned and best of luck w/ your project. per curtis 73: that hosrepower is consumed by the waterpump as well as the fan. turnung the fan wokt cost that much hp loss since you ars already spinning the pump.
38 degrees might be too much, I would break it in with 32 Degrees total timing. then after you brake it in, then you might want to bump it up to 34, 36, then 38 to see where your combo likes it most. I never bump in that much timing on intial start up.. but I do have to admitt I do things a lil differnt.
|Agreed, and CONGRATS on your build! I forgot to say that in my original post. A thrilling moment indeed.
Yep, I agree with Curtis. 210 is not "hot". Add some antifreeze and put the cap on!
On a side note, personally, i'd take the timing back down some for the breakin and would NOT hook up the advance until you can drive it and determine if you really do need more timing. Using more timing than you actually need, will cause the engine to run hotter than it needs to also.
Having the cap off and only using water were the culprits. Use a 50/50 mix and a radiator cap. Left alone, water will boil at 212 which I'm sure the heads saw consistently. As soon as you shut it off, the water stopped moving and rested against the screaming hot metal of the engine. Bingo... boiling. Pressure also prevents boiling which wasn't there without the cap.
Mix 50/50, use a 15 lb cap, and you should be fine. If you're not, ditch that electric fan. A belt-driven fan takes as much as 10-15 hp to run. You can't replace that kind of airflow with a 3/4 hp electric motor, especially because it draws HP, too when the alternator tries to keep up.
Once you have all of that in place, don't worry about the actual temperature unless its going past 220 or 230. As long as you don't have boiling you're fine.
thrilling moment...
I started my first engine rebuild on its 20 minute break-in period. It started right up and that was a wonderful feeling. Anyway, I kept the engine above 2200 rpms, according to the cam card, and the 20 minute breakin is separated into 2 parts. As I finished the first session the radiator looked like it wanted to boil over. I had the cap off, filled with plain water, and no thermostat installed. The temp slowly climbed to about 210 degrees at the end of the first 10 min. session. I had advanced the timing to 38, Which was recomended to me by a bud. I must say that I had forgotten to install the vacuum hose from the carb to the distributor. Once I turned the engine off, the radiator did shoot water up and out of the radiator. It just seemed that the engine was on the way to getting too hot. I did not have enough time to finish the 2nd half of the break-in...besides, its supposed to cool down first before the 2nd half. Thats for the morning after a parts store run for the vacuum hose.
Here were the conditions:
It did get warm here today here in Tenn. and I was in a garage with not a lot of airflowing thru. I had switched on the electric fan the entire time. I do have a stock water pump. I have approximately 11:1 compression. I hope this provides enough info, now, my question: Am I right to assume it was running too hot, or well on the way to running too hot? How hot should I let it get before shutting it down? Is my stock water pump enough for this engine? Do you think my water pump might be out? I thank you in advance for any and all suggestions.

I haven't done it yet, but the other thing I've been contemplating is replacing the factory grooved trigger with a factory smooth one. I find my trigger finger developing a sore spot after about 50 rounds with the grooved trigger.

A recent survey of the American public's knowledge of Kuwait reveals extensive ignorance. Few understand Kuwait has elections in which women have rights and vote. The poll found 62% of Americans do not know women vote in Kuwait, 58% do not realize there are democratic elections and in a somewhat confusing pattern, 12% believe Kuwait is a "center of terrorism" while 13% believe it is "an ally of the United States." Although Kuwait has a booming economy in which numerous American businesses are involved, only 5% of Americans believe it is a good place to do business.
The poll results are not surprising given that few Americans ever study about the Middle East or the Muslim religion in their academic career. Information about the area is gleamed from sound bites appearing on the six o'clock news that are presented by individuals who have limited knowledge themselves about topics they are discussing.

The Canisius College women's lacrosse team fell to No. 5 Boston College 10-7 Saturday.
The Griffs managed to come out to an early lead, but four-consecutive from the Eagles late in the first half goals gave them a three-goal halftime advantage that they wouldn't relinquish.
"I thought we battled for sixty minutes today," said head coach Scott Teeter. "We executed well defensively and made some plays in the second half, but we had some uncharacteristic turnovers in the offensive end. I thought we played hard and executed our gameplan defensively, but then we made four crucial mistakes that Boston College made us pay for and that was the difference in the game."
Canisius won the opening draw and junior Meghan Cuddy scored one minute into the game for Canisius. The Eagles then tallied a pair of goals to give them their first lead at 2-1. The Griffs managed to rebound, netting goals on back-to-back free position opportunities by senior Maria Kotas and junior Tori Quinn giving Canisius back a 3-2 lead.
It was the last time the Griffs would lead, as Boston College struck for four-straight goals, with two of Mikaela Rix's game high three goals coming in that span.
Sophomore Ashley Bull ended the run and got the Griffs back on the board, but the Eagles tallied one more before the break, taking a 7-4 lead into halftime.
The second half went nearly 13 minutes before anyone found the back of the net, with sophomore Taylor Giglio getting the scoring started for the Griffs, but Boston College's Mikaela Rix scored her third goal just 18 seconds later to maintain the three-goal difference.
Both teams would score twice more, with Canisius never able to get inside the three-goal difference. Junior Caroline Odgen and Kotas tallied the final two Canisius goals.
The Blue and Gold will have a quick turnaround, as they will host Binghamton on Monday.
GAME NOTES: Canisius won the game's draw control battle 10-9, marking the first win in that category since April 6, 2013. The Griffs hadn't won the restart battle 11-straight times prior to today... Junior goaltender Kayla Scully made 10 saves in the game, her third game with double-digit saves this season.

In his first game with Team USA's Collegiate National Team, Vols' outfielder Christin Stewart posted hits in his first four at-bats and drove in two runs and scored twice as Team USA won 14-6 over the Catawba Valley All-Stars.
Complete Release From USA Baseball
CARY, N.C. -- The USA Baseball Collegiate National Team got its summer off to a strong start with five pitchers combining to strike out 19 batters en route to a 14-6 victory over the Catawba Valley Stars at Coleman Field at the National Training Complex in Cary, N.C., on Saturday afternoon.
The Red, White and Blue raced out to a 12-0 lead and never looked back, scoring in each of the first four frames, including a six-run second inning, as it won the opening contest of its 30-game summer schedule.
"We jumped all over them offensively and the pitchers did a tremendous job, they didn't give up a hit until the seventh inning," Team USA manager Dave Van Horn (Arkansas) said. "We lost a little bit of concentration in one inning but we have only been together for about 48 hours and this was the first time out on the field as a team. I was proud of the guys for jumping out there and being really aggressive. We played really relaxed and had fun."
Alex Bregman (LSU) opened his second stint with the Collegiate National Team by driving in three runs while Christin Stewart (Tennessee) was 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBIs in his Team USA debut. Nick Banks (Texas A&M) and Blake Trahan (Louisiana Lafayette) also had a pair of RBIs in the contest, with Banks notching three hits.
On the mound, two Cal State Fullerton pitchers - starter Thomas Eshelman and Justin Garza - combined to retire the first 18 batters of the game for Team USA, firing three hitless innings each. Eshelman struck out four while Garza fanned seven of the nine batters that he faced.
Catawba Valley finally got on the scoreboard once those two pitchers exited the contest, cutting the U.S. lead in half with a six-run frame in the top of the seventh.
Team USA got two of those runs back in the eighth though thanks to a Banks double while Tyler Jay (Illinois) and Ryan Burr (Arizona State) came in to close out the contest on the mound. Jay finished with four strikeouts in 1.2 innings of work while Burr fanned all three batters he faced in the ninth.
The Collegiate National Team will be back in action at 5 p.m. on Sunday when it hosts the Coastal Plain League All Stars at Coleman Field.

I am excited! Not just about the fact that Forrester's Marketing Forum is just around the corner. I am excited because I just got to spend some time with Ross Martin, the energetic executive vice president (EVP) of MTV Scratch. His team is a center of innovation at MTV for helping marketers connect with millenials, and his enthusiasm for the next digital decade is palpable. If you are coming to the Forum in San Francisco next week, you will get to hear Ross and his client and counterpart Jim Trebilcock, CMO at Dr. Pepper Snapple (DPS) Group, talk about the nationwide launch of Sun Drop soda that kicked off a few weeks ago.
Not to spoil that story, here are some of the things Ross and I discussed about the future of marketing:
DC: Given what you have done with DPS, what do you see as the future agency model? Can media companies replace agencies?
RM: We see new and inspiring work from agencies every day and have been lucky to collaborate with some great partners. Much has been said about the challenges agencies face with so many new models emerging. We believe these new models will continue to evolve, as agencies large and small pursue new ways to serve their clients.
Great agencies will look to capitalize on the strengths of media companies in both traditional and nontraditional ways — from ad sales and integrated marketing to the kinds of services Scratch offers, such as design and product planning, retail activation, creative execution, social media, marketing strategy, and more.

England 9-0 Armenia
Monday, September 13
Three Lions go top with 9-0 victory over Armenia.
Everton striker Nikita Parris helped herself to a hat-trick for England as Mo Marley's side beat Armenia 9-0 in their European Women's U19 Championship qualifier.
The Three Lions added to their 4-0 victory over Moldova on Saturday with another comprehensive display, brushing aside their oppenents in the second of three games this week.
And it took just seven minutes for England to go in front, Arsenal's Jordan Nobbs finding the target after hitting a brace on Saturday two minutes before Parris got her first of the afternoon.
Armenia's Sona Shahinyan effectively put the game beyond her team just before the break with an own goal to give England a three-goal advantage.
Marley's team were rampant after the break. Chelsea's Rebecca Jane made it 4-0 three minutes into the second half and another Gunner, Danielle Carter, struck number five on 56.
Parris grabbed her brace eleven minutes later and before she completed her hat-trick with two minutes left, Maegan Doyle (74) and Lauren Bruton (84) had both scored from the penalty spot. The first for a foul on Jane, the second for a mistimed challenge on Parris.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

SALISBURY, Md. – The top-ranked Salisbury University men's lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals with a 12-8 victory over No. 14 Endicott College in the second round of the 2011 NCAA Division III men's lacrosse tournament on Saturday.
The Sea Gulls (18-1) will square off with Dickinson College this Wednesday at Sea Gull Stadium. The Red Devils (17-1) defeated Wittenberg University, 11-4, in their second-round contest on Saturday afternoon. This marks the first official meeting between Dickinson and Salisbury. Please check back later this week on www.suseagulls.com for updated information on Wednesday's game time as it becomes available.
Salisbury took a 1-0 lead at the 13:27 mark off an unassisted goal from junior attackman Tony Mendes. The Gulls (16-5) responded with a tally from Brian Estes off an assist from Jack Curtis nearly a minute later. Over the next eight minutes of play, the Salisbury offense reeled off five-straight goals to gain a 6-1 advantage, including two from both Mendes and junior attackman Matt Cannone. Endicott closed out the first quarter with a pair of unassisted goals, including Estes' second tally of the contest.
Cannone added a third goal to kick off the second quarter, with the assist coming from senior midfielder Shawn Zordani. Following a goal by Endicott's Kyle Jordan, Cannone tacked on another to extend the lead to 8-4 in favor of the hosts. The visiting Gulls closed the lead to 8-6, as both Jordan and Andrew Pochebit recorded unassisted goals to finish out the half.
At the half, Endicott had outshot Salisbury 23-20, while both teams had each picked up 12 groundballs.
The third quarter was played at a frenetic pace, as the two teams took turns pushing the ball up the field but struggled to put together offensive chances. After 12 minutes of scoreless play, Endicott's Brendan Eppley broke through with an unassisted goal to bring the score to 8-7 in favor of Salisbury. Just 19 seconds later, junior midfielder Sam Bradman took a pass from senior midfielder Spencer Smith and unleashed a shot on frame and into the net for the 9-7 advantage.
Bradman added another goal just a few minutes into the fourth quarter of play, this time with the assist coming from Zordani. The Sea Gulls would outscore the Gulls 2-1 the rest of the way, with Smith and Bradman each netting goals.
Cannone (four goals) and Mendes (three goals, one assist) each finished with four points to lead the way for the Sea Gulls. Bradman (three goals) and Zordani (three assists) finished shortly behind with three points.
Salisbury senior goalkeeper Johnny Rodriguez turned in an impressive performance with 10 saves, including four in the final quarter of play. Junior midfielder Andrew Sellers had a solid performance for the Sea Gulls, with three groundballs and a career-high four caused turnovers.
Endicott received a team-high three points from Jordan on three goals, while Estes finished with two points on two goals.
Goalkeeper Mike Klein finished with 10 saves in 60 minutes of action for the Gulls; he also picked up five groundballs and caused one turnover.

Avaya execs kicked off their sales and partner conference predictably — reviewing Avaya's eight quarters of revenue growth, a shift of nearly a third of Avaya revenue to the channel in the last two years, and significant new product developments and introductions. The company's focus on total solution results accruing to users (via Flare), to IT infrastructure owners (via Avaya Aura SIP-based architectures), and to Business Process owners (via Avaya ACE integration to business processes) allows partners and sales teams to have discussions with various buyers and influencers in the unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) market. This fits well with Avaya's theme of "The Power of We" — not only do the solutions help customers work better collaboratively, but the partner programs aim to bring Avaya and its channels together to fulfill these needs. Kevin Kennedy stressed that the accelerating improvements in corporate results (revenue, margin, net promoter, and patents) are the result of many initiatives across the company —from product development to partner programs and beyond. One of his slides highlighted Avaya's intention to deliver Faster collaborations that lead to Smarter decisions and Better business — Avaya is offering Faster, Better, Smarter to both channels and UC&C buyers.
Since this was a sales and channel conference, I took special note of the partners who sponsored and presented to the larger audience. I saw a clear representation of the broad opportunities and capabilities that demonstrate Avaya's commitment delivering through channels to market — in short, the partners demonstrated that they value Avaya's capabilities and transparency in going to market.

Every video vendor is rushing to offer a more portable video experience to extend the use cases they support and drive more value — and more business. Mobility is a key information worker characteristic that video vendors are rushing to satisfy, and announcements over the last 24 hours bring two more requirements into focus:

The choices...the choices!
Hello all, this is my fisrt post of what I am sure will be many so a big hello to 'yall!
Just a question about which TEFL/TESOL course I should do!
I am employed full time at the moment so I have a real issue with time. I am looking to do a weekend TEFL course (20 hrs) and then the additional part II weekend to make up 40 hours in total - although I am also considering undertaking an intensive 4 week course.
Of course the 4 week option wuld give a much better range of benefits and is much more comprehensive but it would involve leaving my job - which admittedly I will be doing shortly anyway - but I would like to stay working in order to save and then go away!
please help!?!?!

As these parts are covered by the girth, etc.I have no idea how they connect. Any photos would be helpful.

As these parts are covered by the girth, etc.I have no idea how they connect. Any photos would be helpful.
I'm no expert, but the cod piece has on each side aluminum studs, exactly like those on top of the shoulder armor. I suspect these are meant to be the connection points to the butt piece. Personally, I used Velcro for my cod piece. Simple and effective, plus adjustable.
Hope that was helpful. If you're not looking to spend lots of money, spray painted keyboard keys work well for the studs.
They also attach at the bottom via wot we affectionately refer to as "the thong", which is an elastic strap that runs from the bottom of the cod, straight up betwixt the legs to the kidney plate. As far as the sides go..... this is the velcro you were looking for.:)
i've been contemplating the idea of removing the velcro and just letting the bolts hold the parts together. i think i may have a little better mobility by doing that; maybe not, but it's worth a try. also to make sure everything stays up, i have three snaps on my flightsuit that meet up with snaps on the kidney plate so when that's held in place and the cod is bolted/velcroed in place it stays where it's supposed to as well.
I've never worn velcro between my cod and kidney armor. Mine are held together like the original, with the bolts and studs. I keep one side always screwed in and the other I unscrew before putting it on. Also, the thong wraps between the two.
The screw stud method is how the screen armour was attached. I use nylon straps with poppers and sliding adjusters to attach mine.
I took a nylon belt and JB wielded it along the top of my cod with the plastic snap buckle in the rear. I then placed a male snap on each end of the kidney armor close to where the two should connect and to the corresponding position on the belt. I put on the cod first of course and then route the thong you know where and it loops around the buckle in the small of my back. I then snap the kidney armor into place. I didn't do the stud method only because i wanted a snug fit due to all the walking around you will do and the belts seem to cover it up any way. Hope this helps.
does the kidney piece connect over the cod or under?
Having WickedBeards metal armor Ive added magnets to hold them together until i can put the girth belt and thong strap on.
Just remember, your girth and ammo belt essentially cover the entire top of the cod, so I wouldnt stress about it too much...
Bolts on mine...serentity studs to be exact but they have bolts through the back of em
Having BM armour, I am not able to get the cod/kidney piece to meet-up at the sides therefore I have used the same method as JWINNINGTON but back to front. My kidney piece is snapped to a nylon belt with the thong piece looped down from the middle of it, this ten loops through the front of the belt which has those black snap fix connectors. The cod then snaps onto my belt as the last piece. An alternative would be to use clips similar to that of a TK TD-canistor, in that way both the kidney and cod would simply slide and clip onto the belt.
My armor was designed to butt up to each other front and back, so I can't really use the accurate method. I have velcro strips connecting them on the inside with the aluminum studs glued on the codpiece for decorative effect.
The union of the 2 is largely covered by the girth belt, so it doesn't matter as much as some of the other attachement quandaries that come up.
Considering the need for "bathroom break access" which mounting method do you guys suggest for the codpiece? Should the rear plate be mounted onto the flight suit? The codpiece could then overlap the rear plate at the sides and attached to it with velco or snaps and the groin strap then attached to the inside of the codpeice at the "point". My thought is when access is needed, the sides of the cod peice are detached, the front of the groin strap is detached & the entire codpiece removed. The rear plate is still in place making reattching easier. Any details on this function would be greatly appreciated. Also, Am i correct in thinking the strap is to keep the codpeice from lifting away? Thanks Guys!
I've always used velcro to connect mine together. I know the bolt method is screen accurate but that area is covered up by the girthbelt and saddlebags anyway, so you'd never see the bolts on that section of my own suit anyway.

I'm sure several of you have experimented with various works of modification and man hours for visual effect between the gauntlet and jet pack and rangefinder of fett.
I am curious to hear these stories. Any neat ideas? Any success?
The concept being - for the gauntlet some sort of trajectory of smoke/flame /ect coming from his pseudo flamethrower
for the jet pack some sort of "lift off" effect?
The rangefinder.. visual integration?
Let's hear it! Or see it!
on a complete side note, anyone here know a thing or two about the aging of stormtrooper armor? I'm considering putting my stormtrooper armor on display in my basement bar, however does the ABS have a tendancy to gain an aging "yellow" like most white plastics do? The cigarette smoke would probably do a number on it? thanks again!

Im pretty sure, that cops give more tickets to red vehicles than any other color because Red is a fast color
Okay again with color and speed. Color is not a function of spread but of wave length. Many would throw pigment into the argument but pigment because inconsequential when objects are in motion. Two objects in motion irregardless of speed or color will either produce or reflect light and light has wave length. Irregardless of initial color if the two objects are approaching other the wave length compresses or shortens the more compressed the bluer it appears, if the objects are moving apart the wave length is stretched or lengthened the more stretched the redder it appears. So my black raider will look blue as I approach you and red as leave you. Thus black raiders needs no color, while slower vehicles do.

Available ILB's per Rotoworld
Now that McClain has decided to hang 'em up, here's the current list of ILB's on the market .....
Karlos Dansby
Brian Urlacher
Bart Scott
Bradie James
Larry Grant
Takeo Spikes
Keith Brooking
E.J. Henderson
Paris Lenon
Rob Francois
Mike Peterson
Channing Crowder
Brandon Siler
Barrett Ruud
Tavares Gooden
Excuse me while I yawn a lot ....
The only thing that jumps out at me is Urlacher. Maybe he's had a sufficient amount of humble pie and will bring his price down.
Dansby signed with the Cards
They have McClain, McClellan, Carr, Bynes and Hall 3 of whom have starting experience. They might just stick with who they have.

Re: Available ILB's per Rotoworld
Cross of Bart Scott...lol.
I was pretty sure Nick Barnett was still available. He's probably more an OLB in the mold of Arthur Brown?
EJ Henderson could be intriguing, but outside of him and Urlacher, no one else of note.
So basically, the better choice would be to let Hall, J McClain, Carr, Bynes, and McClellan duke it out. I vote the duke it out with current guys option..
When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. Thats the Baltimore Raven way. - Steve Smith Sr.
Call me a Special Teams coach again. I dare you! I double dare you, MFer!
Re: Available ILB's per Rotoworld
Dansby signed with the Cardinals so he's off the market. And I think Crowder retired.
Pretty bad list. I will say that Bart was a good 2 down LB and was really good at crashing the OL and taking up Blockers for the other ILB to clean up.
But I think the team is going to roll with what they have. They should have maybe taken a shot at a guy like Reddick late, or brought in a guy that wasn't drafted...it looks like they didn't bring in a single ILB in the undrafted class.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.
Re: Available ILB's per Rotoworld
at htis point, with Arthur Brown on the roster, unless Jameel won't be able to play at all this year, we are fine. Bynes/McLellan can even hold hte fort down as the thumper for the year, btu would leave us thin. Jameel, even if on PuP and seemingly available after week 6 to add to the mix is fine with me.
Tat sad, Crowder, and especially Ruud could fill in admirably just the same.
Re: Available ILB's per Rotoworld
I figure we go into camp with the youth we have. see if somebody steps up and sign a late cut vet if we arent confident. really there wasnt much out there before mcclain signed so this doesnt really change anything since he was only a high risk low reward type signing to begin with.-JAB

Jokes aside, see what happens in training camp with the current set of guys and if it's a disaster, see if any vets get cut from elsewhere.

Re: Available ILB's per Rotoworld
Urlacher the last couple of years was just used to blitz inside so their OLBs could get sacks. He has no legs left to cover and was only used in a Tampa2 type role there. He's not a fit here and has no legs IMO.
I like the youth on the team and there will probably be another pickup or two when cuts start.World Domination 3 Points at a Time!

Re: Buying our first sailboat
Even if you don't capsize dingy's can be wet, and that sounds like it will be cold up where you are from. I have a sunfish. Its a blast to sail, I paid almost nothing for it used on Craigslist. I have only capsized once and that had more to do with not being able to get the sail down when I was done sailing.
Re: Buying our first sailboat
Really capsizing is a relatively rare event,
during my first year of sailing it happened only three times,
two of which were mandatory components of sailing course,
and the third was while I was practicing sailing in high winds of 17+knots on a lazer.
Re: Buying our first sailboat
Very sorry - I missread the post about fitting in the back of the pickup. Neither of those will.
Re: Buying our first sailboat
From someone that spent a year and a half in Vancouver, WA I would never get a boat that wasn't pretty stable. That water is wiked cold!
A hard to tip sailboat that is still trailerable would be a Catalina 250, Compaq, maybe even something like a Catalina 22. The 250 has a head that would make it more enjoyable. I would avoid the water ballast, but that is just me.
You will hate trailering boats of that size. THere are a lot of marinas right around there to keep her at. I think you would use the boat more if you kept her in the water.
I have owned the C250 and still own the Compaq. Neither will break any speed records, but pretty stable little boats.

Re: Buying our first sailboat
Ian, When I was seven years old, my dad bought me and my sister a (optimist Pram). This little boat was not big enough for four people, but for me and my sister it was perfect. They used to have pram races sponsored by different organizations including yacht clubs.They were Gaf-rigged.and very easy to rig from a pickup truck with a square Bow. ,However after reading post 7 I think that would be a much better option.

Re: Buying our first sailboat
I had the same scenario. Had a 19' powerboat. We have an old sunfish we loved too. The Sunfish you can throw on the roof or in the bed and its a good little boat. I wanted to move up.
Sailboats require a little more. It hard to find the perfect size. Anything big enough to be stable needs a trailer at least. Then setup is a pain. Came to the conclusion that I'd rather have a boat worth putting everyone on. Got a Cat22 on a trailer. Its perfect for us.
Re: Buying our first sailboat
You could get a 10ft dinghy or tender, such as a baywalker, they can be rowed or sailed, and big enough for 3 adults.
Theoretically at least, people can use tenders if they have to abandon ship in the middle of the ocean, so should be quite stable.
Though if the winds are high and you're not very experienced or there are no winds to speak of, may be good to simply use it as a row boat.
Another benefit is that if you do later decide to upgrade to a keelboat, you can use it as your tender, or boat for going to and from shore, if you are at anchor or moored.
I'd strongly advise against a laser or any other racing class dinghies, since they aren't as stable nor as roomy. For instanec in a laser there is only enough room for your shins in the boat.
wheras a tender boat while slower, is roomy enough to carry cargo along with passengers.
In terms of the three year old, as with everyone should be wearing a life-jacket, and it would be best to practice swiming beforehand. Children are old enough to swim as early as 6-months, and at 3 they can do it in a variety of ways.
It would also be a good idea to practice capsizing and recovery, it will actually enhance how safe everyone feels, as they can overcome their fear of capsizing or ending up in the water and build confidence. You may wish to take a basic dinghy sailing course, so can learn about the proper procedures yourself first. Though basically it is, walk off the boat when it's capsizing, when in the water ask if everyone is okay and make sure, then point the bow into the wind, pull down or even get on the centerboard to right the boat, then swim around to the transom and get in, with preferably some lines like the mainsheet to haul yourself in, then help others in, while making sure boat stays in irons, bail out the boat, ang get underway. So that way if it does happen in an unplanned fashion, everyone will know what to do, and you can continue sailing afterwards. Who knows, maybe on a hot day, when the water is warm, everyone will be up for a swim, it certainly is one of the ways of doing so.
Also it's good to also know and practice crew-overboard procedures, which is useful not only if someone falls out, but also if something gets dropped overboard. Go on a beam reach, perpendicular to the wind for around 3 boat lengths, then tack or turn through the wind onto a broad-reach or going 45 degrees with the wind, then harden sheets to a close reach, going into the wind, and loosen them to break as you approach the overboarded on the leeward side, practice with something like a spare lifejacket.
Re: Buying our first sailboat
Something like a Laser would be a blast on the Columbia, but definetely not a family boat. The 7 year old would have fun with Dad on it, and would be whipping back and forth across the river on his own in a few year's time.
I know the Columbia a little bit (used to live in Eugene, OR) and I don't really see it as a family day-sailing body of water, so you might be disappointed if you did go that route. It's known for it's high winds with little chop, so small and high performance is what I think of for that area-- get out the harness and trapeze.
Re: Buying our first sailboat
Thanks for the advice everybody. It sounds like I'm going to have to sacrifice the stability for the family or find room for a trailer. At this point I might just start with a two-person boat to see if the family grows an interest in sailing Then upgrade at a later time.
Does anyone have recommendations for a lightweight non-trailerable boat?
Thanks again,
Re: Buying our first sailboat
+1 on centerboard boats being tough for starting with a (young) family. It can be done, but probably a better idea once they can all swim. Rogue wave or puff in inexperienced hands, and everyone swims.
What makes it tough is we'd be hard pressed to give you a sailboat that isn't a centerboard that you can fit into the bed of your pickup, that would be stable for the whole family.
If you have to car-top or truck bed it, then light 12 footers would work to learn on (zuma, snark, escape).. but they aren't real big or comfortable for several people.
If you move up to trailerable, then a stable keel-boat is a great starter boat for a family, like a Com-pac 16, or West Wight Potter 15, or a Precision 16, or keel- centerboard boat like a Catalina 22, or Precision 18.
Another option that is an easy starter is a cat boat, and something like the com-pac picnic cat might be an option, but you'd still need to trailer it.

text: Man, does anyone on this forum work on their own guns??? I just got done doing a trigger job on my new Beretta PX4 Storm. The entire trigger assembly is held in by two pins. It was easy to get out and polish the sear and hammer. However, getting everything lined up properly to go back in was a trick. I'd love to do the same work on my relatively new Bersa UC9mm, but it doesn't quite look as easy as the Storm when I look at the exploded diagram. Still hoping that someone will show up here who's done it before and can tell me how difficult it is.

Securing the Internet: Threats and vulnerabilities
Patrolling the edges, rethinking the core, Princeton researchers envision a more secure Internet
Like human society itself, our computerized infrastructure is wondrously complex, both spectacularly fertile and deeply flawed.
The Internet is, without question, a worldwide success. More than a billion people use it. On many places on Earth, the World Wide Web and e-mail have become so integrally woven into the fabric of life that it is hard to remember that just twenty years or so ago the Internet was an idea in its infancy. Banking, air travel, the electrical grid—all have been transformed by computers and the Internet.
But the near-magical powers that our digitized world provides can be harnessed both for good and for ill. A new report just produced by the National Research Council—while delineating the great promise of our networked culture—also warns of "ominous threats."
"Cyberspace in general, and the Internet in particular, are notoriously vulnerable to a frightening and expanding range of accidents and attacks by a spectrum of hackers, criminals, terrorists, and state actors who have been empowered by unprecedented access to more people and organizations than has ever been the case with any infrastructure in history," write the authors of Toward a Safer and More Secure Cyberspace, which urgently calls for a substantial increase in funding for cybersecurity research. The report argues that most of the players who are dependent upon cyberspace are unaware of how vulnerable and defenseless they are, and that the nation is "paying enormous costs for relying on such an insecure infrastructure."
Just how can we make a system that is as complicated as human society more secure? Some of the most influential thinkers on this question sit just a few dozen steps away from each other in the engineering complex on the Princeton University campus: Edward Felten, director of the Center for Information Technology Policy, focuses on software and policy; Ruby Lee heads the Princeton Architecture Lab for Multimedia and Security; Larry Peterson and Jennifer Rexford are key players in the Global Environment for Network Innovation.
While these researchers may be physically proximate, their unique visions on how to best ensure cybersecurity can seem worlds apart. What follows are portraits of Felten, Lee, Rexford, and Peterson—all pathfinders at the frontiers of security research.

A few months ago Boris Nemtsov published a white paper on the Vladmir Putin years that he considered to be so inflammatory that he cut his ties with the Union of Right Forcees party in order to spare it retaliation on the part of Putin. All Russian bookstores have refused to carry the book whose title has been variously translated into English as "Putin: The Results," It is available in Russian and English on the blog of La Russophobe.
Nemtsov claims the Putin era ushered in an unprecedented corruption that may have totaled about $300 billion a year. He points out life expectancy of Russians has dropped to 59 for males and smoking, drinking, and the collapse of the health care system have seriously impacted the lives of ordinary Russians.
The justice system obeys the Kremilin causing "collapse of the idea of the supremacy of the law" and the constitution has been "trampled into the dust."Russia's infrastructure has been seriously ignored as illustrated that Finland has more paved roads than Russia.
Nemtsov accuses Putin of fearing China so much that he has given them many concessions which, in the long run, will backfire on Russian interests. In fact, Putin is terms a "Chinese agent of influence." The tragedy is that Russians increasingly are unable to access information on a daily basis as to what is happening in their own country.

Vinny Curry Scouting Report

2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Vinny Curry, DE, Marshall
Curry definitely looks the part of an elite, athletic defensive end at 6'4" and 263 pounds. He will have to compete with underclassmen to maintain his early round draft stock, but he's adding a great senior year to an already stacked collegiate resume.
He displays a very good array of pass rushing moves. Whether he is ripping offensive tackles to the ground or shoving them back into the quarterback, he does a great job consistently getting after the quarterback (especially if the pocket collapses). Curry will need to improve his technique on running plays that attack his side of the field. He is sometimes too caught up in attacking the quarterback that he'll either take himself out of position or a well-timed double team will severely compromise his gap assignment.
If he adds some flexibility to his lower half, Curry could end up as a team's leading pass rusher. If he shows explosion during the combine, his stock could be on the rise very quickly.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind.
The University of Tennessee women were unable to accomplish their goal of a top-20 national finish, but first-year Head Coach J.J. Clark's squad did state its case for a spot in the FinishLynx Top 30 and a nod as one of the United States' up-and-coming distance programs. The Lady Vols tallied 657 points to finish tied for 28th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships Monday afternoon at the 6000-meter LaVern Gibson Cross Country Course.
Dependable senior Sharon Dickie once again paced the Big Orange pack, finishing 50th in a time of 20:48.8 in her final cross country race as a Lady Vol. It marked the 19th-consecutive time the Grand Blanc, Mich., native has crossed the line first for Tennessee, dating back to Nov. 23, 1998. Incidentally, that was the last time the Lady Vols made an NCAA team appearance.
Dickie closes out her career as the only four-time NCAA cross country qualifier in school history as well as the only Lady Vol to reap all-region and all-conference honors on four occasions. With her health intact, she now turns her focus to track and field and hopes to duplicate her spectacular efforts this fall on the oval.
Also scoring for Clark's squad at the national meet and their overall finishes: sophomore Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.) in 103rd at
21:19.8; freshman Megan Cauble (Knoxville, Tenn.) in 164th at 21:48.3; junior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.) in 238th at 22:39.7; and
freshman Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.) in 246th at 23:00.4. Also running for Tennessee were sophomore Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville,
Tenn.) in 250th at 23:27.9 and junior Erin Anderson (Kent, Ohio) in 253rd at 23:51.3. Junior Christy Baird of Knoxville made the trip as an
Guliford, who has scored mainly in the two and three positions for the Lady Vols all season long, gave a valiant effort, but was not able to be herself on this day. The talented rookie suffered a hip injury in Tennessee's regional victory and spent the early part of the week on crutches with severe pain. After rehabing the injury all week, consulting with physicians and running for the first time on Sunday, Guliford and Clark made the decision for her to compete. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to supply her usual performance.
"I felt it was obvious we could have had a top-20 finish without Felicia being hurt," Clark said. "She did the best she could today with the injury. Injuries are part of the sport. We just have to figure out what caused the problem so we can avoid it happening again. "It was borderline on whether she would run. We discussed it with the doctors, and they assured us that it was not a career-threatening injury. They cleared her to go, and she did all she could do. We'll just chalk this up as a learning experience for our team and shoot for a top-15 placing next year."
UT, which won the NCAA South Region at Lambert Acres Golf Club in Maryville, Tenn., on Nov. 16, tied in the No. 28 slot with region runner-up Florida State on a sunny, but windy, Indiana day with temperatures in the low 30s. BYU claimed the team title with 85 points. Stanford, which was unofficially declared the meet winner right after the race, had to settle for runner-up status when the official, NCAA-verified results were announced, tallying 113 points. Notre Dame (170), Georgetown (214) and Colorado (220) rounded out the top five. SEC foe Arkansas was seventh at 251.
Taking the individual crown was North Carolina's Shalane Flanagan in 19:36.0, while Katie O'Neill of Yale was second in 19:45.9. South Region victor Vicky Gill of Florida State was 15th in 20:07.4.
The Lady Vols wrapped up the initial season of the J.J. Clark era with a 59-34-1 record, taking part in their first NCAA meet since 1998 and only their sixth in school history. Throw in the region title and a top-three SEC finish, and Clark agrees that his first year was a good place to start.
"It was a good first year," Clark said. "I have very high expectations, and Rome wasn't built in a day. The bar has definitely been raised. We have to adjust and respond to the level of competition -- and we will."

The New York Daily News printed an editorial which defended torture and argued against any punishment: Here is what they said:
"The Justice Department struck a blow for societal self-preservation in ruling CIA agents won't be prosecuted for using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics on terror suspects. It was madness even to consider criminally charging the US operatives who gathered critical intelligence in the desperate months after 9/11 by applying techniques that were officially declared legal by the very same Justice Department."
Following is a memo written by a member of the Nazi Minister of the Interior in 1942:
"It has come to my attention that some elements in the Ministry of the Interior are upset at some tactics we are using in defense of our beloved German homeland. The recent episode in Czechoslovakia in which terrorists killed Heydrich led to our killing of an entire village in order to demonstrate that terrorism will be punished. Yes, we do kill ten or fifteen civilians for each German soldier who is killed, but how else can we deal with the crafty and inhumane terrorists who kill innocent German soldiers at night?
I have received complaints that we pull out fingernails or burn terrorists in order to secure information. They are TERRORISTS! Their goal is to destroy the German homeland. And, yet, there are those who say who should be soft and pleasant to these inhuman terrorists. We must be strong if we are to defeat the hordes of Jewish-Communist forces of evil.
A member of the SS recently came to me and asked if he could be charged with committing a crime if he burned out the eyes of a suspect. I made clear he was following orders and that no one would ever be punished for following orders. He mentioned that a friend refused to rape a filthy Jewish girl and was then reprimanded by a superior. Orders are orders. Obey and obey, that is the way of Nazi Germany. I have been told in the soft liberal Jewish tainted democracies some argue that one should not obey an illegal order. It is such thinking that will ensure our victory.
If we accept these weak kneed opponents than those who gain glory in killing Jews would be branded as committing a crime. How can one commit a crime in killing the vermin filthy Jews who spread their germs of evil throughout the world. Torture in defense of the truth is always justified. If you don't believe me, just contact Adolf Hitler."
Yes, Daily News, which is owned by Mr. Zuckerman, yes, killing Jews in defense of Nazi Germany was no crime. If you don't believe that statement, just read the April 18, 2009 editorial in The Daily News.

SHF #34: Pumpkin scones
So I have been racking my brains for food that is particularly local to Melbourne or even our state of Victoria. I've looked in local histories, searched the net, had some discussions and come up with slim pickings. Will suggested peach melba because Dame Nellie Melba, after whom the dish was named, actually named herself after Melbourne. But 'tis not the season for such summery delights! I have come up with Rowntree Hoadley's violet crumble chocolate bar which we used to buy my dad each Christmas. But this is really a brand name for chocolate covered honeycomb. Then there are local cheeses such as the one which I ate as a child from our nearby town, Colac. It is all very unsatisfactory.
This type of exercise is likely to bring me out in a bad case of cultural cringe. But as a lover and defender of Australian history, I want to explain to Johanna that the development of our food culture is quite different due to the immigrant nature of my more immediate ancestors. (I wont talk about our Indigenous populations except to say that they have had very little influence on what I eat.) Johanna comes from Austria where communities lived in the same local area for centuries with travel being difficult and infrequent, and food specialities could develop slowly. Whereas in Australia people moved about a lot.
I can illustrate this with the story of my great great grandfather whom came to Australia from Wales in circa 1859. He originally came to Clunes, a gold mining town in Victoria, and then went in search of gold to Coolgardie (WA) over the other side of Australia where he died. But his children returned to Clunes and then to Melbourne. Not only would they have brought food culture from the home country but the amount of travel meant people swapping food ideas over great distances around Australia, rather than food cultures developing in discreet regions.
Given this history, it seems quite reasonable to me that we don't have so much regional or local food culture. But we do have a fine national food culture, often created through the fusion of ideas from a home country which are then adjusted to the local conditions. I heard a great example of this on the radio recently, where an Australian whiskey maker explained that our climate means it takes 5 years to age a whiskey which in Scotland will take 10 years to age!
'Australian' cuisine, rather than being regional, is often divided up by descent. My family is very anglo celtic and has quite a different diet to – for example – those of Vietnamese or Macedonian descent. Many fine sweet foods, peculiar to Australia (or maybe Australia and New Zealand), were part of my childhood – lamingtons, pavlova, jelly cakes, anzac biscuits and pumpkin scones. Pumpkin scones are a fine example of adapting to local conditions. Scones are very British (but in the UK you never would have your brother requesting scones with vegemite and cream – yes it happened!) and someone in Australia (long before Flo Bjelke Petersen) came up with the excellent idea of adding pumpkin. As I have commented before, pumpkin is readily available in Australia and a staple part of my diet. It adds a sweetness and moisture to scones that is a delight to behold.
I know the Sugar High Friday event is about sweet food, but one of the great things about pumpkin scones, is that like their plainer cousins, they are great for either savoury or sweet food. I served them with pea soup but we also had them for dessert with blueberry jam. However you serve them they are delicious.
I used a recipe which was among the first recipes I baked when I first moved into a share house – a great home comfort. When I cooked the pumpkin the previous night I sort of forgot about it and it was the traditionally badly overcooked vegetables that fall apart at the sight of a fork – almost caramelized. So to compensate I only used 1 tablespoon sugar but usually use the 2 tablespoons the recipe requires. There are variations on this recipe with dates or sultanas but I think this is the best.
Update July 2010: made these again with (unseasoned) roast pumpkin and they were wonderful as always. Sylvia loves them which is pleasing because she will not eat mashed or roast pumpkin but I have ways of making her eat one of my favourite vegetables. Just as well because these are regularly appearing out of our oven, especially when we have company.
Pumpkin Scones
Makes 12-15
60g butter
2 tbsp castor sugar
½ cup cooked and mashed pumpkin
1 egg lightly beaten
½ cup milk
2 ½ cups self raising flour
To glaze:
1 tbsp milk
1 egg yolk (optional)
Preheat oven to 230 C.
Cream butter and sugar. Mix in pumpkin (I have done this with hot pumpkin but it seems a waste of time creaming the butter and sugar if you do because it just melts the butter. It is better if the pumpkin is cooled – don't worry if the mixture looks a little curdled when you add the cooled pumpkin – mine never seems to mix in too smoothly but it is fine when the flour is added). Slowly mix in the milk and egg. Sift flour and stir into the mixture ad stir into the dough. (Sifting is well and good but I never do!)
Lightly knead and roll out 2-3cm thick on a lightly floured surface. Use a scone cutter (or if you want to be traditional, a vegemite glass!) dipped in flour to cut out scones. Roll out any scrapes of dough and cut more scones til no dough is left. Place on a baking tray. I like doing them close together so they all join up and have to be broken apart but you can space them out if you prefer.
Brush scones with milk and egg yolk (or just milk which is what I usually do). Bake in preheated oven 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

mmm... Pumpkin scones...ReplyDelete
Of all the things I had done with pumpkins before, I'd never done scones. Now I can't wait for the season to start.
Thanks for sharing.
Pumpkin scones - perfect for our fall weather ahead (just another 7 weeks or so)! Thanks for the easy, tasty idea. The U.S. has the same kind of cultural diversity as Australia; it's "easier" to define a regional specialty than local one these days.ReplyDelete
Thanks Nathalie - strange that you are waiting for pumpkin season as it seems to last all year round here - scones are great with pumpkin!ReplyDelete
Thanks Susan - I did think of the US when I was thinking of how food culture has developed in our 'new worlds'. The great thing about change of season is looking forward to seasonal food - I am hanging out for stone fruits in summer!
thank you so much, johanna, this is just what i wanted... some insight into local/regional/national food culture and recipes i would never find at home. this certainly will feature on this autumns menu, maybe as a halloween treat? thanks again for participating in SHF!ReplyDelete
thanks Johanna - glad to be able to share traditions - pumpkin scones are so ordinary to me that is strange to hear you say it is a new meal, but also exciting to spread the word - so to speak :-)ReplyDelete
I'm just across the pond here, near Portland, OR, USA. Pumpkin scones are something I look forward to every fall as they become available in some of the local coffee shops as well as Starbuck's (theirs are okay, but there are better). Interesting take though as our version here is done more like a pumpkin pie - with spices - cinnamon, cloves, allspice, perhaps even a little ginger. I submitted Hazelnut scones for my SHF entry - glad to see another version here.
These were really good - thanks for sharing! I fiddled around with the recipe a bit on my second batch, I hope you don't mind...ReplyDelete
Thanks for dropping by. I love hearing from you. Please share your thoughts and questions. Annoyingly the spammers are bombarding me so I have turned on the pesky captcha code (refresh to find an easy one if you don't like the first one)
