Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for April to Michael Kennedy, a StarTran Bus Operator in the Public Works and Utilities Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Kennedy has worked for the City since December 2009. StarTran Transit Manager Larry Worth nominated him in the categories of customer relations and valor for helping a citizen in danger.
On February 18 of this year, Kennedy was driving his bus near St. John's Catholic Church at 76th and Vine when he saw a man in a motorized wheelchair stuck in the mud and tipping sideways. He stopped the bus, turned on the flashers and crossed the street to help the man safely cross the street before continuing his route. Kennedy's actions may have prevented the man from being injured from his chair tipping over completely.
Laverne and Shirley Stetson who live near the church, observed Kennedy's actions and reported them to StarTran. They commended the driver and said they were very proud of him, writing, "We were privileged to watch the 'Good Samaritan'." Worth said Kennedy's actions were above and beyond the call of duty and that StarTran was proud to have excellent employees like him.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are productivity, loss prevention and safety. Consideration also may be given to nominations that demonstrate self-initiated accomplishments or those completed outside of the nominee's job description. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected and appointed officials. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: personnel) or from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are considered by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $50 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. All monthly winners and nominees are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $250 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Personally, I'm a fan of Dave Silverman and very much appreciate the coverage and work he's done. He certainly showed up the faux news people in the clip posted here. Likewise with his handling of O'Reilly. We're still getting mileage from "the tide goes in, the tide goes out." In fact, my AA membership had lapsed for a couple of years until Dave re-energized me. I wouldn't be surprised if their membership #s have gone up sharply this year.
It may be a close call on the 9/11 cross - it depends on how they place it. If it sits as one of many exhibits, saying "some people saw this as a sign," then I don't have a problem with it. If it's placed up front, saying "look, a sign from god, in an attack against us Christians" then it's not ok. And, without knowing how it will be used, we have to have these challenges. Each little bit of established religion counts as precedent. I haven't dug too much into that lawsuit, but the Non Prophets Podcast of Aug 6 had a good discussion.
A couple of more thoughts...
Don't feel you have to defend AA or that they represent you. Remember that atheists are not a religion or club. Our only definite definite commonality is lack of belief in gods. So, if you're ever put on the spot with "you atheists suing over such and such," you have the right to say "it's not me." But, we should all look into AA's reasons for the lawsuit so that we can present any part of their case that we do agree with.
So, thanks for reminding me... I'll do a bit more reading of various viewpoints on the matter.
John D - thanks for the link to Silverman's video. Like you, I agree with Silverman, and have already sent AA $$ in support of their work. We are constantly bombarded with "in your face" examples of the intolerance of the religious toward us. And I, for one, don't agree that the appropriate response always has to be the warm and fuzzy approach. There are times when it is appropriate to look them dead in the eye and simply say, "Fuck You! I'm not putting up with your shit."
In the video, Silverman mentioned the "Reason Rally" to be held in Washington D.C. in 2012. The date set is March 24, 2012, and for more information, the web site is http://reasonrally.org/

We believe in one God the Father
Ephesians 4:4-6 - There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to one hope when you were called- 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
We believe in God's Son, Jesus Christ
I Corinthians 8:6 - yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. Matthew 16:16 - Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
We believe in the Person and The Works of the Holy Spirit
Acts 1:4-8 - On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with[a] water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." 6 So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." I Corinthians 12:1-31 - ...4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men...
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit
Acts 1:8 - But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."Acts 2:38 - Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in salvation through Jesus Christ only
John 3:3-8 - In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."4"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother-s womb to be born!"5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You[c] must be born again.' 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
We believe in the inspired Word of God
I Thessalonians 2:13 - And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.II Peter 1:20-21 - Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet-s own interpretation. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
We believe in being baptized in water
Mark 16:15-17 - He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tonguesJohn 3:5 - Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.Acts 2:38 - Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.

We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today

Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[a]? Do all interpret? 31 But eagerly desire[b] the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.

Be prepared for your families, jobs, finances, etc. to produce more than they ever have! There are areas in your life that God will introduce a new strategy that will bring you into great favor! And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. John 21:6
Purpose Statement
Kingdom Life Ministries is the place where Kingdom meets community with transformation power!
To proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God, the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and make disciples.
KLM aspires to be a vibrant, multicultural ministry that has significant impact upon spiritual and community matters.
In 2014 KLM's vision is to...
God has called KLM to be an Apostolic Hub in this territory. Our desire, through a clarion call of the Holy Spirit, is to be a meeting place and training center to bring forth the warriors in the Kingdom of God. We desire to be a center that dispatches dynamic teams, ministries, and individuals who are climate changers by the authority of Jesus Christ. We want to recognize, grow, mature, affirm and equip: Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Preachers, and Evangelist for the work of the Kingdom.
The Gathering Grand Rapids prayer services will be held monthly. We want to invite you and your leaders and intercessors to join us in prayer and worship. The purpose of this event is to pray as a church united for the city and region of Grand Rapids. We hope that it will be a cross-denominational and cross-cultural event representing all parts of the Body of Christ. We plan on praying for many specific needs in our community, from region-wide issues to the personal requests of those who attend.
KLM is very passionate about expanding our community outreach. We will continue to focus on the needs of the community with our work against youth gang violence, at- risk youth mentoring, and also collaborating with organizations to continue to minister in substance abuse programs.
KLM will continue to collaborate with our sister organization KLM Community Development Corporation in community matters. Our organization will partner with other community organizations to develop the "total man" type of programs that include but are not limited to youth programs, a family resource center, job skill training, food pantries, career training and more.
In these tough economic and personal times it is our desire to be a place of refuge for the hurting, scared, discouraged. The church and her light needs to shine with a new brightness. We must be careful not to judge, but to be a hand of support to those who need hope. As the very structures that people have placed their trust in continue to crumble, it is our duty to introduce them to someone who will never leave them or forsake them: Christ Jesus!
Prayer has been and will continue to be the lifeline, and the heart of this ministry. We will be introducing new prayer strategies, focuses, and events throughout the year. If we are going to see God manifest like He has promised, the intercessors must keep their face set like a flint (Isaiah 50:7 - Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.). God has put a mandate over this ministry to turn to the walls and pray for this city, region, nation, and world.
II Chronicles 7:14 – If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
The time is now, the season is sure for the church to arise. The world needs to see the Body of Christ stronger than before. Zion, stand strong and take your place. Our vision is to create a string in the people of God to cry out for righteousness. For a people to effect their sphere of influence with new measure of love and compassion and for the Kingdom of God to advance!
In this season, the church must shift into the God inspired alignment. God is calling His people into the fullness of His glory. He desires us to return to a place of power (Genesis 1:28 – Let us create man in our own image and give him all power and authority to rule)! This fullness is to be carried on the wings of the restored church of Jesus Christ. This is the FULLNESS, WIDTH, and BREATH of Jesus. The Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Preachers, and Evangelists must come back to the house of God and most importantly, these offices need to belong to a local body.
Our desire is to deepen our level of commitment to the things of God. Religion has allowed a watered down church to form throughout our religious institutions. KLM desires to be a people that will truly as it is stated in Matthew 6:33, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."
It is our desire to see a people raised up into a relationship with Christ, where they can clearly hear the direction, plans, and purposes for their lives, and their family. God, in this season, is calling us to have an abiding (remaining) attitude. John 15:4 says, "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." God wants to release so much to His people, but needs to have a relationship with us to do so…
The heartbeat of God is souls! As we continue into this year, our focus will be on bringing souls into the Kingdom of God. Not only to bring the souls into the Kingdom, but to train them up in the way they should go. The church as a whole has lost the true meaning in the office of the Evangelist. Most of our Evangelists these days are doing nothing to win the lost, but are performing for the found. God is calling us out into the community. We believe that Prophetic evangelism will play a powerful role in the evangelism of our city.
Apostolic from the Greek is Apostollos, meaning pioneer, groundbreaker, first. KLM desires to see people walk into their apostolic grace, to become a people of Kingdom authority walking in their rightful place as believers (Deuteronomy 28:13 - The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.)
The enemy has put an all-out assault on the family structure in the church, and in the world. The divorce rate is at the highest it has ever been in society along with the church that mirrors the exact same percentages of marriages that end in divorce of approx 50%. Teenage pregnancy and single mother homes are at an all-time high. KLM is putting a tremendous focus on training, equipping, praying, and consulting the people of God to make decisions that are conducive to strengthening the family unit. KLM will continue events like Wednesday Night Family Life night, that is structured to minster to the entire family unit. With a greater vigor then the enemies to destroy, we come in the Name of Jesus to build up the family!!!!!
It is the heart of this leadership to create an atmosphere that God sees fit to manifest His Glory. Now more than ever in this day and age the body of Christ needs to know God at such an intimate level. He needs to be our God, and we need to be His people (Psalms 94:7). KLM through lifestyles of integrity, character, Godly leadership, praise, worship, prayer, and love, believes that God has and will continue in this upcoming year to create amongst us a climate that is ripe for signs, wonders, and miracles. What a joy it is to have a place which the Holy Spirit not only dwells, but inhabits.
This year more than ever before we as a ministry will be sensitive to what that Lord is saying in the area of praise and worship. This is a vital piece of the equation to seeing God's glory manifest. As we continue down this road, God has shifted our ministry into true Davidic worship. We will continue to seek the strategies of praise and worship in this upcoming year. It is a collective effort to create an environment that all men can come into, and be saved, set free and delivered. Psalms 98:1 –"O SING to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have wrought salvation for Him."
We need a generation that is concerned with the well being of this city, nation, and world. God is calling a group of young people who are not afraid to stand in a perilous world and declare the truth of Jesus Christ. We believe that God is calling the laborers in who have a heart to stir up, and facilitate this next dynamic move of God's glory. KLM will continue to have dynamic youth services, events, and opportunities for the young people to GET LIT for GOD.
Not only is it important to raise up a dynamic ministry, but to train our children with sound biblical doctrine that prepares them to experience the world; to teach our children in the way they should go that they would not depart as they grow old (Proverbs 22:6 - Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it). It is our desire at KLM to see the family unit operating at 100%. This means, fathers are being Godly fathers, mothers are Godly mothers, and our children are Godly children.
God calls there to be an apostolic order for one reason and one reason only: that is the perfecting of the saints. As long as we are on this earth, we need to get into a place of Sozo, which is total salvation. Then we need to turn around and assist our brothers and sisters to reach their potential in Christ. As we follow this model we can experience the exponential, radical growth in the Kingdom of God.
There is a need to create teams of empowered people following in their gifting while building up and perfecting the body of Christ. The church must shift from the one man show mentality, because the task is too large. Creating teams that walk in the authority and power of Jesus Christ helps to create an environment where change is not only desired, but eminent. In the very nature of the apostolic, these teams will be SENT OUT to operate in their gifting and be a blessing unto the body of Christ.
Evangelism – Prophetic and good news evangelism that empowers the KLM family to hit the streets to win the lost, dying, hurting, and hungry. There is a deep seeded need for the church to speak words of encouragement, purpose, edification and destiny over the unbeliever's life. Walking in power and demonstration of the Word as Jesus commanded and displayed in His earthly ministry.
Deliverance – God desires His people to be free. The Bible says, "He that the Son sets free, is free indeed." Jesus upon the cross offers us Salvation, which in the Greek is Sozo, which means, salvation, healing and deliverance. These teams that God has birthed in our spirits are intended to create a resource for the believers to come and see a total salvation in their lives.
Prophetic – God has blessed KLM with many who are able to hear the word of the Lord. We are humbled by the prophetic voice that God has given this ministry. As we continue in our purpose, it is vital that we continue to train up and utilize the prophetic voice. God is manifesting His glory through His Word. John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God…..and the word became flesh!" In this season it is vital that we as the body of Christ are very much able to hear His direction. Amos 3:7, "Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets."
Apostolic / Governmental - As we move in these next dimensions of God's glory we will see many institutions who will desire the shift from a pastoral mentality to an apostolic order. Our desire is to help churches to make this transition preparing them for new dimensions of God's glory.
Ephesians 4:11 says, "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
APOSTOLIC - KLM believes that God has called us to be an Apostolic people. The word Apostle means one sent forth! Just as God sent forth His son Jesus into the earth and as Jesus sent out the disciples we believe that God is sending forth believers to spread the awesome, life-changing, miracle working message of the Kingdom of God!
PROPHETIC - KLM Believes that God is moving powerfully in an end time generation of prophetic people! We flow strongly in the prophetic office and gifting. The word says, "Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7). We know that, "And afterward, I will pour out my spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy….." (Joel 2:28).
EVANGELISTIC - As Kingdom people we know it is our responsibility to communicate the good news of Jesus Christ to a dying world. We believe that it is important for the Body of Christ to know how to share the gospel and to evangelize in our neighborhoods, workplace and communities. Jesus said in Matt. 28:18, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…..".
PASTORAL - Pastoral ministry is the spiritual ability to shepherd the flock of God, feed them the Word of God, and to equip the saints to find their gifts so they too can do the work of the ministry. KLM believes in working closely people to help them to reach their full potential for the Kingdom of God!
TEACHING - KLM believes in making the Word of God clear with accuracy and simplicity. The Word of God says we must, "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. As we teach the Word at KLM we encourage God's people to study and be diligent students of the Bible.
Kingdom Life Ministries School of Ministries
The leadership of KLM believes that training and equipping people for works of service is very important (Eph. 4:12). Therefore, we have started the KLM School of Ministry for believers to grow in their walk with the Lord and to help them fulfill the will of God for their lives. Jesus gives the command in Matt. 28:18 to go into all the world and make disciples. We want to see people taught from God's Word so they can become followers of Christ. We want to see God raise up believers who will go forth in victory and take the ground God wants them to take for His Kingdom.
New believers have an opportunity to be taught the basics of scripture and gain new understanding and insight to their walk with Christ. Topics such as the assurance of salvation, importance of God's Word, prayer and baptism will be taught.
Relatively new believers have an opportunity to learn more of the basics of scripture and do some more in-depth study of God's word. Topics such as Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Man, and the Second Coming will be covered.Ministry class 300 A more mature bible class that discusses the current issues of life in the Kingdom of God. An exciting ministry experience. Topics such as love, faith, healing, overcoming temptation, spiritual warfare, spiritual gifts, family issues, fruits of the spirit etc. will be covered in these six week courses.
This class begins in the fall and is a study of God's word concerning the prophetic ministry. This class is designed for all of those who want to know more about the prophetic ministry, the gift of prophecy and the office of the prophet. This will be a time of ministry training as well.
These classes are designed for anyone who has a call to part-time or full-time ministry. We will discuss topics relevant for those who are going into ministry and spend time in thorough study of God's Word. These classes are necessary for ordination at KLM.

Call onions the steady-eddies of cooking, we cook them every day but rarely take notice. Thanks to this classic French side dish called 'soubise' [pronounced soo-BEEZ], we'll never take onions for granted again. Soubise combines thin ribbons of onion with rice and a little cream and cheese. Dreamy. Heavenly. Ethereal. Addictive. Yes, it's that good.
The Conversation: Who stands up for kohlrabi and green beans?
"...it is fantastic!" ~ HeatherCheryl
"... the family had only one comment: double the recipe next time!!!" ~ Anonymous
"OH.MY.WORD." ~ Pamela
When Norman Borlaug died at age 95 last fall, it saddened me that his life's work was vilified. Borlaug was the Midwestern scientist who championed modern farming practices across the world, not unlike, isn't it so? the indigenous American peoples who bioengineered corn and potatoes millennia before. Borlaug's work in agronomy, genetics and plant pathology is credited with saving a billion people from starvation. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.
Then there's St. Louis' own Monsanto, the company whose Round-Up and genetically modified (GMO) seeds evoke controversy. In 2006, Monsanto formed a vegetable and fruit seed division to develop new strains of broccoli, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, melons and more.
First out of the dirt is a mild onion called EverMild introduced this month by Monsanto and St. Louis' largest grocery chain, the family-owned Schnucks Markets. I attended a media lunch where chefs prepared an all-onion meal, everything from caramelized onion pizza and French onion soup (delicious!) to a fruity onion sorbet (no thanks).
Call me conflicted. Nobody stands up for kohlrabi, say, like Kraft stands up for Kool-Aid. Nobody stands up for green beans, say, like General Mills stands up for Golden Grahams.
So when science and investment produce higher-yielding, disease resistant, longer-lasting, better-tasting or more nutritious vegetables and fruits, isn't that what we ask and expect from American ingenuity? Isn't that a sign of human progress, not a certain problem?
If it takes a company the size of Walmart versus the passion of Whole Foods (see "The Great Grocery Smackdown" from this month's Atlantic) to save small family farms, can we allow the possibility that the Monsantos of the world must be afforded the chance to contribute?
Thoughts, readers? Do we want companies to stand up for fruits and vegetables? Can we afford to? Can we afford "not" to?
No debate about Julia Child's recipe for Soubise [pronounced soo-BEEZ], the onion and rice side dish: it's fabulous. My friend Anne Cori calls it "French risotto without the stirring" but the rice almost melts into the noodle-like strips of onion. Come to think of it, yes, with eyes closed and tastebuds open, there's a mac 'n' cheese dimension to soubise, a swanky grown-up mac 'n 'cheese, for sure, but mac 'n' cheese nonetheless. Pair it with meat, a roast chicken, say, or thin slices of rare beef tenderloin or even as the "starch" with a weekend pot roast or brisket. Last week, I served it with Moroccan Chicken, twas dreamy.
COOKING with Monsanto's EVERMILD Onions The onions are supposedly tearless but in my experience, not. Because I wear contacts, I never have trouble crying over cut onions but with EverMild, I did, so did two others who helped cut vegetables for a family birthday party. (I know, I know, this is a bad sign.) EverMild onions are "long day" onions for harvest in the fall, sold up until March, when Georgia's famous Vidalia onions, "short day" onions harvested in the spring, become available. For the moment, EverMild onions are only available at Schnucks Markets in St. Louis. More about Monsanto EverMild Onions and St. Louis' only newspaper doing investigative journalism, Riverfront Times.
Time to table: 90 minutes
Makes 4 cups
- 2 cups salted water (or enough to cover)
- 1/2 cup rice (see TIPS)
- 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 a stick, see TIPS)
- 2 pounds onions, trimmed, peeled and sliced very thin (see TIPS)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyère (about 1 ounce), (see TIPS)
Preheat oven to 300F/150C.
RICE Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan, add the rice and cook for exactly 5 minutes. Drain immediately.
ONIONS Melt the butter on medium heat in a large oven-safe skillet (see TIPS) with a lid. Drop in the onions as they're prepped, stirring to coat with butter. Once all the onions are in, briefly sauté them. Stir in the rice, salt and pepper.
BAKE Cover and bake for an hour, stirring once or twice. Remove from the oven, stir in the cream and cheese. If the rice is still a little undone, return to the oven for 10 – 60 minutes (see TIPS). Serve and savor. Can be made ahead and reheated.

I've never heard of soubise, but I LOVE onions (I cannot imagine cooking without them - they add such a great flavour to most dishes, when handled properly). Bookmarked!!
This whole blog post is blowing my mind. I was in that class at Kitchen Conservatory and was too lazy to find my recipe packet. I googled soubise and this was one of the first results! I'm making this for a dinner party this weekend. (Also, the last time I made risotto, I asked my husband to stir for me while I prepared the rest of the meal and he wondered why anybody would ever make risotto. I told him I had a foil to that!)
In response to the comments, my great grandfather was from Estonia, and I've visited my extended family in Estonia, and I shop at Schnucks every week! ;) More coincidences!
Loved your post, but have pretty mixed feelings about Monsanto. Living in St. Louis, it's hard to criticize a corporation that provides so many jobs, and you do raise a good point about encouraging the consumption of healthy fresh produce. However, Monsanto's main mark on the modern industrial food culture is on corn. Not the juicy vegetable we buy in the summer, but the inedible commodity that is mostly made into high fructose corn syrup and food for beef cattle. I'm not sure how healthy THOSE things really are. Fortunately, they sell onion goggles at Kitchen Conservatory, so I can use the onions nature made with no tears.
This article will point you to a 44 page report on falling nutrition levels in food since we have gone for quantity over quality as Norm Borlaug started the world running after. Nutrition in wheat has severely fallen. No wonder we are getting fatter all the time. We eat like crazy trying to get the nutrients we need that the food no longer supplies. And taste. Conventional can't compare to organic--surprised me, but I'm sold on it now.
This is in my oven right now... well, half of it is, anyway. I ate the first half after adding the cream and the cheese (before putting it back in the oven) because OH.MY.WORD. I couldn't help myself.
Praise Jesus for Julia Child.
Next time you write, please use your real name and email address, no need to hide behind anonymity. Open discussion is allowed here although bullying is not. Your views are welcome, so long as you do not mock mine nor others. I'm reminded of a book I shared with my godson when he was a bossy four-year old, it was called, Who Made You the Boss, Banana Monkey? I'm not the boss but neither are you.
Post a Comment
Thank you for taking a moment to write! I read each and every comment, for each and every recipe. If you have a specific question, it's nearly always answered quick-quick. But I also love hearing your reactions, your curiosity, even your concerns! When you've made a recipe, I especially love to know how it turned out, what variations you made, what you'll do differently the next time. ~ Alanna

A man agreed to gun down a self-proclaimed vampire gigolo as a favour and to even the score for an alleged rape, a Melbourne court has been told.
Male escort Shane Chartres-Abbott, 28, was gunned down near his Reservoir home in June 2003 as he faced trial for allegedly raping a former client and biting off part of her tongue.
The woman's former boyfriend Mark Adrian Perry, 46, and two other men, Warren Shea, 42, and Evangelos Goussis, 46, have pleaded not guilty to his murder.
A fourth man, who cannot be named, says Shea came to him and told him of the alleged rape in 2003.
"It was in relation to evening the score," the man told the Victorian Supreme Court on Wednesday.
"He weren't too happy about it. The Warren that I knew was a man of honour and it went against his grain.
"I shot Chartres-Abbott as a result of that conversation."
When asked by crown prosecutor Andrew Tinney SC why he had killed Mr Chartres-Abbott, the man replied: "For a favour".
The man said he was given Mr Chartres-Abbott's address by a police officer he knew as "Stash".
He said Detective Peter Lalor served a warrant on him for a traffic offence so he had an alibi on the day of the shooting.
The man said he gave the officer $1500 and said: "Thanks very much. Have a drink."
The trial has previously heard Mr Chartres-Abbott told his alleged victim he was a vampire who needed to drink blood to survive, and he was "older than the city of Melbourne".
The trial, before Justice Lex Lasry, continues.

Cancer mapping laboratory opens in London
A new London-based laboratory is set to help personalise cancer treatment over the coming decade.
The £3 million Tumour Profiling Unit (TPU) at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) will put cancer under a genetic spotlight to identify the specific DNA faults in individual tumours.
In the latest in a series of high-profile genetics initiatives in the UK, the team hope to develop sophisticated clinical trials using state-of-the-art technology. These will not only provide personalised treatments but they will follow the molecular development of tumours over time to come up with ways to combat drug resistance.
One aim of the research is to develop "liquid biopsies" that analyse cancer DNA in blood samples, and could help identify and monitor cancer sub-types that are likely to respond to particular drugs.
The work at the laboratory is due to start this year and is expected to pave the way for new ways to diagnosis and track cancer, as well as ways to target therapy more effectively.
Commenting on the announcement, Kate Law, Cancer Research UK's director of clinical and population research, said: "There's no doubt that such genetic profiling tools will increasingly be used to help match patients to the most appropriate treatment."
The team will also pioneer the use of "mouse avatars" that mirror a patient's disease progression.
Tumour samples from patients will be implanted into mice, which will then be observed closely to spot early signs of molecular change and resistance to therapy.
Professor Alan Ashworth, chief executive of the ICR, said: "None of this is science fiction.
"One would think in five or 10 years this will be absolutely routine practice for every cancer patient."
Genetic profiling of cancer is already being used in cancer research around the world, but the new unit will pioneer its use in the clinic, said Professor Ashworth.
The research has been made possible by the rapid reduction in the cost of genetic sequencing.
It took a decade of work and around £2 billion to produce the first draft of the human genome, or genetic code, in 2000. Today a person's genome can be sequenced in a day or two for as little as £3,000.
The ICR will spend around £3 million on research at the Unit over the next three years.
Scientists hope it will shed light on currently intractable problems, such as dealing with so-called "unknown primaries" - cancers of unknown origin - that account for one in 20 cancers.
It may also help to re-shape the way trials of new cancer treatments are conducted.
Currently, all cancer drugs go through a process that ends with a large Phase III trial, often involving several thousand patients.
In future, such tumour profiling could lead to Phase III trials being replaced by larger numbers of smaller studies that provide much more meaningful results, said Professor Ashworth.
Each would recruit a few hundred patients whose genetic make-up is likely to better suit the treatment being tested.
Kate Law from Cancer Research UK, said: "Understanding the genetic landscape of each patient's tumour will help us to target many of today's life-saving chemotherapies more effectively, and design more sophisticated clinical trials looking for the cancer drugs of tomorrow.
"Cancer Research UK scientists at the ICR and around the UK are already using such cutting-edge sequencing tools to uncover the genetic weaknesses of tumours with the aim of making treatments more precise and effective."

Proposed new state and federal regulations could have immediate and far-reaching effects on how and to what extent preplant soil fumigants are used in almonds and other California crops.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Department of Pesticide Regulation are currently seeking public comment on two separate proposed soil fumigant regulations. These rules are likely to limit fumigant use during certain periods and require new application methods and mitigation measures.
Most critical in the short term, DPR has proposed rules to sharply reduce soil fumigant air emissions that are thought to contribute to smog-forming ozone in areas with poor air quality, which includes the San Joaquin Valley, Southeast Desert and Ventura County.
The regulations must be issued by Jan. 1, 2008 to bring DPR in compliance with a federal judge's ruling last fall. That ruling requires the state to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from pesticides by 20 percent from the 1991 emissions in non-attainment areas. DPR is targeting soil fumigants and emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations as the major contributors to pesticide VOC emissions.
These rules would cap total emissions of all soil fumigants in those non-attainment areas and also require application methods, such as tarping and water seals, that reduce emissions of VOCs during the peak ozone period from May 1 through Oct. 31.
Restrictions will apply to all soil fumigants: methyl bromide, metam-sodium, 1-3 dichloropropene, chloropicrin, dazomet, metam-potassium, and sodium tetrathiocarbonate.
The new proposal for allocation under the cap is: growers submit their planned soil fumigant use from May through October to the County Agriculture Commissioners in February. DPR will then calculate the potential emissions based on proposed rates and application methods. If the emissions exceed the cap there would be an across the board cut to all applicants in that non-attainment area.
Many details for implementation need further work, such as how to fund the staff needed, or how to reallocate unused fumigant efficiently.
The revised rules were to have been posted Oct. 1 with a 15-day public comment period. That means growers will need to act quickly to provide comment on how these proposals will impact their operations.
Can growers adequately estimate their fumigation needs by Mar. 1? What are the costs associated with using the methods allowed? Are there potential improvements on the process?
To see the proposed regulations and provide public comment, log on to the DPR web site at www.cdpr.ca.gov and click on the proposed regulations section.
The bottom line is that these regulations will make the use of soil fumigations more expensive, at least in the ozone non-attainment areas.
At the same time DPR is considering its new restrictions on soil fumigants, the EPA is also seeking public comment on a new set of mitigation measures intended to reduce worker and bystander exposure risks from soil fumigant applications.
EPA has released a range of risk mitigation measures, including buffers and tarps, and is seeking public input on how they would work, how much they would cost growers, and what impact they would have on current production practices. Public comment has been extended through Nov. 3, 2007. Details can be found at: www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/reregistration/soil_fumigants/.

Disputes over law enforcement jurisdiction aren't unique to Sutton. Several other communities around the state have had less-than-smooth relationships between local and state police.
Foxboro was the hotbed of a turf dispute over Interstate-95, Route 140 and Route 1, home to the current Gillette Stadium, in the late 1990s and 2000s.
Foxboro Police Chief Edward O'Leary declined to comment about the incidents, but news reports from March 1996 describe a heated argument between a handful of state and local police that occurred outside the police station.
Similar to Sutton's experience in May, when state police came off the highway to do routine traffic enforcement in the center of town, troopers converged on Foxboro's local streets to do the same, prompting the argument.
In an Associated Press article, State Police Lt. Martin Fay was quoted: "There's no law that says they can't handle calls on I-95, nor is there any law that we can't handle calls on the back streets."
Foxboro passed a bylaw in 2007 that authorized Foxboro's police chief to require police details anywhere in town to prevent traffic and pedestrian problems.
The State Police Association of Massachusetts sued Attorney General Martha Coakley's approval of the bylaw, naming the town as co-defendant. They claimed that the bylaw intruded on state police jurisdiction.
In 2008, a Suffolk Superior Court judge dismissed SPAM's lawsuit.
The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro reported that the court agreed with Foxboro town counsel's argument that state laws governing police jurisdiction were established "to protect the public's health, safety and welfare," and not to "create or protect private claims by employees of entitlement to wage-earning opportunities."
In Worcester County, issues have arisen, outside of Sutton, on availability of state police.
Douglas Police Chief Patrick T. Foley hasn't had turf battles, but he's occasionally had problems getting state police support to manage the crowds at Wallum Lake Recreation Area in Douglas State Forest, a state-run park on the Rhode Island and Connecticut borders.
The town police usually get the first call for aid but often have to call the Millbury state police barracks for assistance because of the scope and remote location of the park.
Problems range from unruly crowds waiting to get into the parking lot when it's closed due to capacity, to water accidents such as the near-drowning of a toddler last weekend, which occurred when the park was covered only by a detail officer from Northbridge.
"They've been good, but we're at their mercy," Chief Foley said of the state police. "A lot of times we'll get a call back saying they have nobody available."
Northboro Police Chief Mark K. Leahy, past president of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, also has not had run-ins with state police on the state roads that run through his town. But that may be because he rarely sees them.
Route 20, Route 135, Route 9 and Interstate-290 run through Northboro.
"We literally never see them," Chief Leahy said. "If we do, they're probably just going through town on their way to Westboro District Court. We're often the first ones on the scene at 290 because they don't have anyone in the area."
Chief Leahy said that state police seem to "cherry-pick" the roads they're going to patrol. "Route 9 from Worcester to Framingham, they're just nonexistent. From the Framingham barracks east� they will very quickly tell you Route 9 is their route."
The turf wars seem ridiculous, according to Chief Leahy. He said, "There's a paranoia that we're going to put them out of business."

Nationals are playing in their first Cranberry League baseball season.
EASTON – When Chuck Adams heard the South Shore Warriors folded after the 2012 season, he saw a great opportunity to bring a Cranberry League baseball team to Whitman.
Adams knew a lot of baseball players in the area wanted to play semi-pro baseball, but they couldn't find a place to play. So he got the backing of Whitman-Hanson High School and the American Legion Post in the area and formed the Whitman Nationals.
But establishing a team and finding a home to play at is only half the battle. Adams still needed to pick players for his new team.
"The problem is all these other teams are established so they have a good base of a solid team and we're starting from scratch," he said. "So I'm grabbing kids that are still in college that my son (Chris Adams) plays or played with and other guys in the area that played Legion ball for us."
The Nationals also held a tryout that a lot of players attended before the season started. They also scouted potential players at an open tryout at Rockland Stadium.
But there's only so much Adams and his fellow coaches could do to build a team for the first year.
"We're always looking for something to help us out, but right now we've got what we got," he said.
And what he has is a team that finds itself in eighth place in the Cranberry League with a record of 4-11. That puts the Nationals ahead of an established team, the Kingston Pirates.
"We're not a bad team," Adams said. "We're fighting. We got three in a row and we're hitting pretty well, but not tonight."
Adams was referring to a 6-0 loss at the hands of the Easton Huskies last Thursday night. His team could muster only four hits against Ryan Quigley, who spent time in the Oakland Athletics farm system.
Another Adams, Chuck's son Chris, was leading the Nationals at the plate with a .342 average, one home run and eight RBI heading into Thursday's loss.
He didn't record a hit on Thursday, but has been a constant bright spot for his father.
"He played for UMass-Boston and he's been playing first base for us," Chuck said of his son's play. "He's our RBI guy at the moment and hits the ball pretty well. He's a good kid. He's my son so I don't want to brag too much about him."
Chris Adams is one of two Whitman players – also outfielder Charlie Lapaglia – who represented the Cranberry League in its All-Star game against the New Bedford Bay Sox on Friday night.
Going forward, Chuck Adams still has some goals for this year's Nationals squad.
"My goal was to be around .500 and if we made the playoffs that would be a bonus. And if I can get everyone to show up for games in this league, that's a plus too," he said.
While his team currently is off the pace to finish the year at .500, there is still a half a season yet to be played.
So don't write off the Nationals quite yet. They may be a new team, but they are hungry to make a strong first impression on the Cranberry League.

* Homemade Outdoor Play Kitchen From An Up-cycled Cabinet
Hubby and I did a major garage clean-out as soon as we got our first nice fall-weather weekend.
As part of the re-organization we took down a freebie cabinet
we had picked up from Freecycle a few years ago and didn't need anymore.
My oldest daughter "E" suggested that we turn the cabinet into a play-kitchen and we agreed!
We flipped the hinges on one door around to open like an oven door.
Then, using only materials we had on hand we were able to transform our
little cabinet into an outdoor play kitchen for their little play cottage on our deck.
We had a set of oven knobs from a kitchen remodeling project.
I used 4 scratched CDs from my car as the burners (glued down),
and an old broken night light is the "clock"
and an old broken night light is the "clock"
The faucet was generously donated by our awesome neighbors across the street.
The sink is just a glad-ware round container that I traced a hole for and cut out with a jig saw.
The feet of the cabinet were made by screwing
4 clean (empty) pineapple cans to the bottom of the cabinet through small blocks of wood.
The counter top was made by spray painting some left-over rustoleum gray spray paint
The backboard was a scrap of wood we attached with two small "L" brackets.
A small shelf rack set inside the cabinet serves as the oven shelf.
The girls now call it the "Step 2 Cafe".
They even made menus and fresh flower bouquets for the table!
Happy Cooking!

Updated at 10:45 p.m.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, on Thursday asked Craigslist to take down its controversial adult services section, which critics say is used to advertise illegal sex with underage girls.
"I strongly urge you to eliminate this section from your Web site," Speier said in a letter addressed to Craigslist Chief Executive Officer Jim Buckmaster. "Now is a time to set a renewed example of zero tolerance and 100 percent vigilance."
Speier also said she will ask U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello to help San Francisco's Craigslist in "identifying additional methods that you may use to avoid the facilitation of prostitution and human trafficking."
And Speier also said she was calling the House Judiciary Committee to hold a hearing on "how Web sites such as yours and others are being used to facilitate criminal activity."
Buckmaster was not immediately available for comment. A company spokeswoman said the firm was preparing a statement.
Buckmaster has previously responded to similar criticism of the site by saying the online classifieds giant is already taking active steps to manually screen adult services ads for child prostitution and that it continues to help law enforcement efforts to combat these "utterly despicable and horrendous crimes."
In the letter and in a phone interview, Speier said she was disturbed after seeing a half-page ad in the May 19 edition of The Chronicle and a follow up story that ran the next day.
The ad, purchased by the Rebecca Project for Human Rights, the Washington, D.C., described the experiences of two teenage prostitutes who claimed Craigslist was used to recruit their customers.
Speier said she was further troubled by the results of a study by the Schapiro Group, an independent research firm in Atlanta, that found about 47 percent of the Atlanta-area men who responded to an ad placed in Craiglist's adult services section were willing to go through with a transaction even after learning the girls involved were minors.
Speier said she watched as her staff clicked through the adult services section and found such ads, including photos depicting young women.
"It made me sick to my stomach," Speier said. "It cannot be allowed to stand. I'm appealing to Mr. Buckmaster, who obviously is interested in wanting to make sure the company he is leading is not facilitating criminal activity."
Speier said she hopes Craigslist removes the site voluntarily before any Congressional hearing so "we can save a few lives in the interim."
UPDATE: Buckmaster replied to Speier Thursday night, saying he was willing to discuss her concerns with her.
"I'm confident you will soon realize shutting down portions of Craigslist is no answer, and in fact would be a big step in the wrong direction with respect to the very issues you have raised," Buckmaster wrote.
"Trafficking and child exploitation are despicable, and while exceedingly rare on Craigslist, any ad facilitating crime is utterly unacceptable, and we work tirelessly with law enforcement to ensure any such victim receives the assistance they deserve and anyone responsible is prosecuted."
"With 50 million Americans engaging in billions of human interactions each month, the overwhelming majority of which are well-intentioned, the incidence of crime on Craigslist is exceptionally low. However, our tolerance for crime is zero, and we welcome suggestions from US Attorney Russoneillo, and any other concerned party, for further preventing misuse."

Every generation has its standards - we redefined them from scratch
The new URGESTALT DISC opens a new chapter for Lightweight in the construction of bike frames. The initial idea was as simple as it was challenging as the frame is the essential link between the wheels and the rider. Key aspects of these developments were most efficient power transmission, best directional stability and maximum stiffness.
For the second generation of URGESTALT the engineers in Friedrichshafen started where they did with the first: from scratch. Their mission was to improve all performance values while considering the implementation of latest technologies such as disc brakes, electronic gear-shifting systems and the mounting of measuring devices.
The hard work was rewarded with the best and most versatile race bike frame that Lightweight has ever built. The new URGESTALT DISC is a further step in the evolution of the perfect racing bike.

You think you know Taylor Swift?
Of course you know Taylor Swift's hit songs. And you probably know her movie roles and songs inspired by famous boyfriends … But do you know what her first job was? Or which family member gave her the gift of song? And did you know she once recorded a song about a country singer not named Tim McGraw?
Ms. Swift is one of country music's most successful female artists of all time, but she got so big so fast, it felt like we hardly got a chance to know her. Catch up with this three-minute-long crib notes version of her life (so far). You'll learn far more than you thought possible, and perhaps far more than you wanted to. She's a pretty big deal, so there's a lot to cover. Better get started!

SACRAMENTO — The movie "Lincoln" should be required viewing for all elected chief executives from president to mayor, and especially for California's governor.
Especially our governor because California has so many perplexing, polarizing problems that urgently need fixing: an outdated, inefficient tax system; a business regulatory sump; deteriorating public schools and universities; and a crumbling infrastructure, including state waterworks. For starters.
"Lincoln," directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th president, shows how great public deeds can be achieved in the real world of American democracy.
In fact, make "Lincoln" required viewing for all legislators, from Congress to state capitals to city councils.
Moreover, every voter should see it — at least those idealists who cling to the misguided notion that politicians must be pure and not truly representative of the people who elect them; that they should be angelic, not human.

Obviously the coaching staff has earned the benefit of the doubt in their player evaluation and he looks like a great offensive fit.
What struck me most, though, was how all of that half-court offensive action looked like Michigan. There's just a bunch of little nuanced, timing-spacing things where I thought, "Hey, we do that! And that! And that, too...."

|Hate MSU so much...
It's strange, but as more years pass, I find that I despise Michigan State much more passionately than OSU. I would like to see State's football, basketball, and hockey programs all shot directly into the sun. Metaphorically speaking.
I just can't stand the way all three teams play, there's seemingly very littlle art to any of it. They constantly push the physical/borderline-dirty enveolpe, daring the officials to make calls and knowing that not everything will get called, especially when they're at home.
I respect Izzo's teams but, yuck - playing against them must be like being in a street fight and playing for him doesn't look like much fun, either.
Their hockey team's style of play has been garbage for years - talk about wrecking the fastest game on earth. Trap, clutch, obstruct, hold, flip one at the net on occasion and try to win 2-1...
Their football program is a plague. Always has been...

|Comparing awfulness!
For me, Oregon was worse that the App. St. game. Putting aside the I-A v. I-AA divisional distinction, and App St. was probably something like the 50th-75th best team in the country. Maybe higher, maybe lower, but the point is that they were a legitimate team that Michigan overlooked, executed poorly against, then rallied and still could have won at the end. A bad, bad loss, but not historically bad if one removes the divisional bias. Oregon, on the other hand, left absolutely no room for argument that Michigan was still playing on anything that resembled an elite level. Oregon was just so much smarter, so much faster, so much quicker, and in such better condition, physically; for the first time in my time being devoted to Michigan football, I looked at another program and thought: "They're doing things in a fundamentally better way than Michigan is, across the board, schematically, identifying and developing players, etc. It was awful. I honor and cherish the program's history, but want nothing to do going forward with an organizational regime linked to that history.
|09/29/2010 - 11:36am
Couldn't agree more about how frustrating it is to hear people pine for "the good old days". For me the less spectacular, but better, example of how decayed the program's foundations had become is Oregon in 2007. Oregon came to Michigan unranked with a supposedly suspect defense. Michigan had experienced talent on both offense and defense, some of it NFL-caliber. Oregon did whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. The final score was 39-7 but I'm convinced that Oregon could have scored 50-plus points if they had wanted to do so. Their first-half drive chart:
That game, to me, cemented home how far Michigan truly was away from playing elite-level football.

|Illinois issues?
I haven't had a chance to see Illinois play much at all yet this year, just a bit of the Ohio State game. Since they (and Northwestern) run a somewhat-similar offense to Michigan's, I like to see how other conference teams are able to defend them. They looked horribly overmatched at Ohio State. Has their problem been mainly offensive line play? If not, what's going on with them, offensively?
|09/28/2009 - 4:43pm
Great points re: Forcier's height and throwing lanes. One thing I've been struck by is how accurate Forcier is rolling out, which, by definition, creates clearer lines of sight. Not only accurate, but thrown with touch, both short and intermediate-to-deep routes. Michigan may use this more as they encounter good defensive lines.

|Punt-Run option
Michigan has not yet given Mesko the punt-run option that we saw a lot of last year. I think we may see this on Saturday and going forward for the rest of the season.
