Game 1: #3 Farmingdale State - 6, #2 Sage - 5
Game 2: #3 Farmingdale State - 8, #2 Sage - 0 (5 innings)
- Freshman pitcher Taylor Tedeschi Named Tournament MVP -
Brooklyn, N.Y. - The #3 seed Farmingdale State softball team won both games in today's Skyline Championship against #2 The Sage Colleges to capture their third conference Title in four years. The Rams improve to 26-13 overall and receive the conference's automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA Division III Softball Championship.
After falling in Wednesday's first round game to Sage, 3-1, the Rams won out of the losers bracket on Saturday with wins over #1 NYU-Poly, 5-0, and #4 Old Westbury, 5-4, to advance to today's Championship round. With a double-elimination format, Farmingdale State had to defeat the Gators twice to claim the title.
In game one, the freshman pitching tandem of Taylor Tedeschi (Levittown, N.Y.) and Chelsea La Marca (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) split the duties in the circle as the Rams took a 6-5 victory. La Marca was awarded the win after hurling the final 3.1 innings, allowing five hits and striking out one with no walks.
Farmingdale State went up 1-0 in the first on a single by senior first baseman Aubrey Walker (West Babylon, N.Y.) to score sophomore shortstop Hillary Genova (Brentwood, N.Y.) for the quick lead. The Rams held Sage scoreless until the fourth, as they got four runs on the board off six hits, including a two-run homer by Welcome.
Farmingdale scored two runs in both the fifth and sixth innings and held the 5-4 advantage going into the seventh. In the top of the inning, Sage tied the game with a lead off homer by Faas for a 5-5 score. The Rams got out of the inning with a double play and a ground out to the pitcher, as two Gators were left on base.
In the bottom of the inning, Walker led off with a single to left and senior left fielder Rebecca Richman (West Islip, N.Y.) knocked a double over the centerfielder's head, but Walker was thrown out at home and Richman advanced to third base on the throw. Freshman designated hitter Patricia Johnson (Patchogue, N.Y.) singled but Richman was held at third. With one out and junior third baseman Kristen Flint (Brentwood, N.Y.) at the plate, a passed ball would allow Richman to score the game-winning run to force the second game.
Game two featured another start by Tedeschi and she allowed just one hit and struck out four over five innings to secure the Championship. The Rams scored seven runs in the third inning and would accumulate 11 hits in the game and make no errors, en route to the 8-0 5-inning win.
Farmingdale State's opponent for the Regionals will be announced in the NCAA's softball selection show on May 7 at 10:00 a.m.

Lots of successful innovations aren't very commercially viable (in the sense of providing a return to the shareholders). The Mars Rovers are fairly successful, contain lots of innovation, but there's not much commercial value in the science data returned from them.

Question: I support the work of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and want to congratulate and say thank you for all your services. However, I was watching an episode of "Wild Justice" recently and something didn't seem right about the way the game wardens carried out a couple of operations. On the show, game wardens busted a poacher with 42 abalone. The wardens spied on a group and knew they were fishing illegally, so why didn't they stop them when they came back to the beach? Why did the game wardens allow the group to pull the abalones away from the beach and wait? By the time you guys busted the group, all 42 abalone were dead. My 4-year-old daughter couldn't understand why you didn't catch the poachers as soon as they hit the beach so the abalone wouldn't have had to die. Can you please give me an answer so that I can explain it to her? (Christopher R.)
Answer: Wardens are often faced with the dilemma of when to make contact on a poaching case. According to CDFW Lt. Patrick Foy, there are circumstances where a warden can make an excellent poaching case, contact the perpetrator, and return the live animals to the water/or wild. Those cases usually result in a fine. There are other times, such as the one you reference, where an effort needs to be made to prove that the perpetrator's actions weren't just a one time occurrence by a person who wasn't aware of the law. If a warden can document that the perpetrator's actions were planned, and intended to make a profit poaching wildlife, it is called commercialization. Commercialization cases are difficult to make, but when a warden makes them, they can lead to life-time revocation of fishing privileges, steep fines, and even jail terms. The wardens in the case you watched made the judgment that the loss of 42 abalone was necessary to permanently take the poachers out of business.
Wolves from another state?
Question: Is it legal to hunt and bring a wolf hide from another state into California? (Stephen H.)
Answer: It is legal to bring a wolf hide legally acquired in another state or province into California. You are required to complete a declaration of entry pursuant to section 2353 of the Fish and Game Code when the hide enters the state.
Fishing for crayfish in a stream closed to other fishing?
Question: Can crayfish be taken from a trout/steelhead stream closed to fishing?
Answer: Yes, taking crayfish by legal methods other than hook and line is allowed in streams closed to fishing. (See California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 5.35(e).)
Vintage Native American jewelry?
Question: I realize buying and selling bear claws is prohibited in California, but is there an exception in the law for vintage Native American jewelry? These old pieces often include bear claws in their designs, which are an important part of their culture. (Neil Z., Burbank)
Answer: No. The purchase or sale of the pieces or parts of any bear is prohibited in California. The law does not provide any exception for bear parts used in Native American art or ceremonial pieces of any age (Fish and Game Code, section 4758).
Maximum number of crab traps allowed?
Question: What is the maximum number of crab traps allowed for recreational fishermen? I see a limit of 10 hoop nets but nothing for traps or pots in the regulations. I'm fishing the Bodega and Tomales areas.
Answer: North of Pt. Arguello (just north of Pt. Conception), a recreational fisherman may use any number of crab traps or pots except when fishing from a public fishing pier, where the limit is two fishing appliances, such as crab traps or pots, per person.

Congregation of the Church of the Holy Organic, let us buy.
Let us buy Anna Sova Luxury Organics Turkish towels, 900 grams per square meter, $58 apiece. Let us buy the eco-friendly 600-thread-count bed sheets, milled in Switzerland with U.S. cotton, $570 for queen-size.
Let us purge our closets of those sinful synthetics, purify ourselves in the flame of the soy candle at the altar of the immaculate Earth Weave rug, and let us buy, buy, buy until we are whipped into a beatific froth of free-range fulfillment.
And let us never consider the other organic option -- not buying -- because the new green consumer wants to consume, to be more celadon than emerald, in the right color family but muted, without all the hand-me-down baby clothes and out-of-date carpet.
* * *
There was a time, and it was pre-Al Gore, when buying organic meant eggs and tomatoes, Whole Foods and farmer's markets. But in the past two years, the word has seeped out of the supermarket and into the home store, into the vacation industry, into the Wal-Mart. Almost three-quarters of the U.S. population buys organic products at least occasionally; between 2005 and 2006 the sale of organic non-food items increased 26 percent, from $744 million to $938 million, according to the Organic Trade Association.
Green is the new black, carbon is the new kryptonite, blah blah blah. The privileged eco-friendly American realized long ago that SUVs were Death Stars; now we see that our gas-only Lexus is one, too. Best replace it with a 2008 LS 600 hybrid for $104,000 (it actually gets fewer miles per gallon than some traditional makes, but, see, it is a hybrid). Accessorize the interior with an organic Sherpa car seat cover for only $119.99.
Consuming until you're squeaky green. It feels so good. It looks so good. It feels so good to look so good, which is why conspicuousness is key.
T hese countertops are pressed paper.
Have I shown you my recycled platinum engagement ring?
In the past two weeks, our inbox has runneth over with giddily organic products: There's the 100 percent Organic Solana Swaddle Wrap, designed to replace baby blankets we did not even know were evil. There's the Valentine's pitch, "Forget Red -- The color of love this season is Green!" It is advertising a water filter. There are the all-natural wasabi-covered goji berries, $30 for a snack six-pack, representing "a rare feat for wasabi."
There is the rebirth of Organic Style magazine, now only online but still as fashionable as ever, with a shopping section devoted to organic jewelry, organic pet bedding, organic garden decor, which apparently means more than "flowers" and "dirt."
When renowned environmentalist Paul Hawken is asked to comment on the new green consumer, he says, dryly, "The phrase itself is an oxymoron."
Oh ho?
"The good thing is people are waking up to the fact that we have a real [environmental] issue," says Hawken, who co-founded Smith & Hawken but left in 1992, before the $8,000 lawn became de rigueur. "But many of them are coming to the issue from being consumers. They buy a lot. They drive a lot."
They subscribe, in other words, to a destiny laid out by economist Victor Lebow, writing in 1955: "Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction . . . in consumption. . . . We need things consumed, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever-accelerating rate."
The culture of obsolescence has become so deeply ingrained that it's practically reflexive. Holey sweaters get pitched, not mended. Laptops and cellphones get slimmer and shinier and smaller. We trade up every six months, and to make up for that, we buy and buy and hope we're buying the right other things, though sometimes we're not sure: When the Hartman Group, a market research firm, asked a group of devout green consumers what the USDA "organic" seal meant when placed on a product, 43 percent did not know. (The seal means that the product is at least 95 percent organic -- no pesticides, no synthetic hormones, no sewage sludge, no irradiation, no cloning.)
Which is why, when wannabe environmentalists try to change purchasing habits without also altering their consumer mind-set, something gets lost in translation.
Polyester = bad. Solution? Throw out the old wardrobe and replace with natural fibers!
Linoleum = bad. Solution? Rip up the old floor and replace with cork!
Out with the old, in with the green.
It's done with the best of intentions, but all that replacing is problematic. That "bad" vinyl flooring? It was probably less destructive in your kitchens than in a landfill (unless, of course, it was a health hazard). Ditto for the older, but still wearable, clothes.
And that's not even getting into the carbon footprint left by a nice duvet's 5,000-mile flight from Switzerland. (Oh, all right: a one-way ticket from Zurich to Washington produces about 1,500 pounds of carbon dioxide.)
Really going green, Hawken says, "means having less. It does mean less. Everyone is saying, 'You don't have to change your lifestyle.' Well, yes, actually, you do."
But, but, but -- buying green feels so guilt less, akin to the mentality that results in eating 14 of Whole Foods' two-bite cupcakes. Their first ingredient is cane sugar, but in a land of high-fructose panic, that's practically a health food, right? Have another.
"There's a certain thrill, that you get to go out and replace everything," says Leslie Garrett, author of "The Virtuous Consumer," a green shopping guide. "New bamboo T-shirts, new hemp curtains."
Garrett describes the conflicting feelings she and her husband experienced when trying to decide whether to toss an old living room sofa: "Our dog had chewed on it -- there were only so many positions we could put it in" without the teeth marks showing. But it still fulfilled its basic role as a sofa: "We could still sit on it without falling through."
They could still make do. They could still, in this recession-wary economy, where everyone tries to cut back, subscribe to the crazy notion that conservation was about . . . conserving. Says Garrett, "The greenest products are the ones you don't buy."
There are exceptions. "Certain environmental issues trump other issues," Garrett says. "Preserving fossil fuels is more critical than landfill issues." If your furnace or fridge is functioning but inefficient, you can replace it guilt-free.
Ultimately, Garrett and her husband did buy a new sofa (from Ikea -- Garrett appreciated the company's ban on carcinogens). But they made the purchase only after finding another home for their old couch -- a college student on Craigslist was happy to take it off their hands.
The sofa example is what Josh Dorfman, host of the Seattle radio show "The Lazy Environmentalist," considers to be a best-case scenario for the modern consumer. "Buying stuff is intrinsically wrapped up in our identities," Dorfman says. "You can't change that behavior. It's better to say, 'You're a crazy shopaholic. You're not going to stop being a crazy shopaholic. But if you're going to buy 50 pairs of jeans, buy them from this better place.' "
Then again, his show is called "The Lazy Environmentalist."
Chip Giller, editor of enviro-blog Grist.org, has a less fatalistic view. He loves that Wal-Mart has developed an organic line. He applauds the efforts of the green consumer. "Two years ago, who would have thought we'd be in a place where terms like locavore and carbon footprint were household terms?" he says, viewing green consumption as a "gateway" to get more people involved in environmental issues. The important thing is for people to keep walking through the gate, toward the land of reduced air travel, energy-efficient homes and much less stuff: "We're not going to buy our way out of this."

Congregation of the Church of the Holy Organic, let us scrub our sins away with Seventh Generation cleaning products. Let us go ahead and bite into the locally grown apple, and let us replace our incandescent light bulbs with those dreadfully expensive fluorescents.
But yea, though we walk through the valley of the luxury organic, let us purchase no imported Sherpa car seat covers. Let us use the old one, even though it is ugly, because our toddler will spill Pom juice on the organic one just as quickly as on the hand-me-down.

Food you cook
Hello everybody!!!
I love to cook for my family and friends and I like to try new exotic dishes from all around the world. So I figured it wouldnt be a bad idea to open a thread, where we can exchange recipes and "brag" about the food we can or cannot cook, haha
All kinds of recipes are welcome, even simple but yummie ones. One doesnt always feel like cooking, especially if short on time. If you can post a photo of the dish cooked, that would be even better.
So now for what I have cooked: I made wonderful fried shrimps this weekend. The weather was so nice, the bright sun rays caressed my eyes in the morning and I woke up feeling energised and decided to go to the farmer market in the center of Vienna and couldnt resist buying some fresh unfrozen tiger shrimps. A kidney transplant on the black market is cheaper than the shrimps, but I just couldnt say no this time.
At home I pondered how to prepare them and googled some recipes, until I decided to improvise something on my own, out of experience I know this brings the best results. The preparation I decided to go for was super easy, as usually.
1. Tiger shrimps, skinned, veined and washed
2. lemon juice (1-2 tablespoon)
3. Olive oil (1-2 tablespoon)
4. salt, pepper, yellow thai curry (I still had some of the yellow thai curry paste left from last week. I must use it within a week or two, so I am trying to put it in as many dishes as possible and it sure went damn well with the shrimps)
5. minced garlic
6. brown sugar (weak tea spoon)
1. Mix all the ingredients except the shrimps together and whip it (the result looks almost a little like a light liquid mayonaise).
2. Por the marinade over the shrimps and let it rest for an hour
3. Heat some oil on the pan and add the shrimps, fry on both sides about 2 minutes
4. Pour the marinade on the shrimps and allow the marinade to caramelise over the shrimps.
If any of you guys like shrimps, you gotta try this. It is a great appetizer dish in my opinion and the whole preparation including cooking didnt take longer than 10 minutes.
I apologize for not adding a picture, I meant to make one, but then totally forgot. I will make one next time I make this dish, I promise

Oh how nice a recipe thread!!
Here's something fast thatt you can make outdoors over a fire or on a grill (preferably) or inside on your stove. This is capable if feeding up too 6 people.
Take one pound of hamburger and make into nice sized patties ( thunk at least a half inch thick or more). Next slice up three to four good sized potatoes and slice them long ways about an eighth of an inch thick or more, it's up to you as to wether or not you want to leave the skins on. Next do the same with some onions.
Now take aluminum foil and cut it into 12 inch by 12 inch squares and first put your potatoe slices down (as many as you like, I usually put at least 6 per bundle) then your meat, at which time you add your favorite seasoning, then top it off with a few onion slices.
Fold the foil top to bottom then side to side with the shiny side in so it will cook the food. After preparing the bundles (and yes you can do this with just about any food even veggies) place them flat side down over the heat and let cook fit at least 7 minutes, then flip and do the other side. Upon opening you can drain all the grease if you like (I don't since it adds to the flavor) and serve either in the bundle or on dishes.

uff! it's a good topic, cook for the family, is an honor that not everyone accepts xD,
usually Mexican food is not very nutritious, but it is delicious! when I was living in Cd Juarez learned something of American food and I had the joy of cooking a "pozole".
I'll show you some pictures about Mexican food:

All those dishes I have prepared a few times when working in restaurants.

- some sort of fish filet, whatever I bought
- frozen vegetable mix
- rice, or roasted potatoes (also frozen)
Put fish and vegetables in a pan with olive oil, cook rice, or put potatoes in the oven. Done.
I like to buy mainly frozen stuff, so I can eat it whenever I want and don't have to look out for expiring dates.
If I buy fresh food, some of it will end up in the trash, because I forget about it for too long.
And frozen vegetables are actually better than "fresh" ones, nutrient wise.

Stir frying. You can make a pretty good meal, it's quick and it's very easy.
I can put my rice on and be finished with the rest before the rice is done. And with that I have at least 2 days worth of eating. Not bad I say.
To get best value for money you do need to learn how to make your own sauces. While packaged sauces are nice, they're terrible value for money. Luckily making sauces is easy, it just requires knowing the formulae. A fairly simple base is 1 part Sesame oil, 2-3 parts soy sauce and 1 part sugar. That'll take you pretty far. For something with a better kick, add ~part black pepper. To make even better sauces you'll need to acquire some decent ingredients though.
I tend to mix my stir fry with my rice at the end, making it all into a kind of "cake". It doesn't look pretty, but it tastes great.

How to make veal on rice
- Yellow rice (the common kind).
- chopped calf, preferably with the bone removed.
- olive oil
- salt, pepper, a head of garlic, a small onion.
- tomato paste
Getting started: Since both rice and meat take long to cook, you may want to use two plates on your stove, and a steamer for the meat. First, pour some olive oil for the rice; once it heats up, stir the rice for a while till it gets some color (i.e. becomes sauteed), then add water and let it boil. You should use two glasses of water for every glass of rice. Sprinkle some salt and close the lid, set a 17' timer.
Move on to make the veal now. Peel the onion and chop it up along with the garlic. You can also add a green pepper, also chopped up, if you feel like it.
Pour some olive oil, let it burn, then add the veal. Make sure it is drained well to avoid unnecessary burns on your hands! Toss in the onion garlic and green pepper, add salt and pepper and stir it for a while, as you did with the rice. All of this will help get rid of the strong flavour of meat and give it a better taste.
Add tomato paste and water in a 1:3 ratio and stir some more. close the lid and pay attention. Once the pressure builds up, lower the power on your cooker; on a scale from 0 to 9, if you had it on 9 before, turn it to 3 now. In order to soften up the meat, you'll be needing about 20~24 minutes before putting it out.
Concluding: Make sure you get the rice off the place once it's done, or it will get burned. Once the meat's done too, release the steam and it's ready to serve.
Note that the time it takes to cook depends greatly on the appliances you use, the ones I mentioned are for a 10kW cooker w/4 plates and an oven.
You can also make a variation of this, using lemon, parsley and oregano instead if you're more into white sauce.

Good lord, we probably have a hundred recipes we cycle through regularly and we're always trying new ones... japanese fare dominates, but we have indian, chinese, korean, italian, and even "southern white honky" night at times. I'll try to pick a few favorites out tomorrow.

Vexx, do you live in the U.S.? You say you eat a lot of Japanese food and I was wondering if it is hard to get certain ingredients for Japanese meals sometimes.
I've got some recipes to share sometime, including a great veggie soup (the kind I make is better than any other kind I've had for veggie medley soups), muenster chicken (made it two days ago, was the best chicken I have ever made, by far), and stuffed cabbage (with rice and seasoned ground beef). I've made some great homemade beef stew and baked macaroni and cheese, too. I've made a great Texas style chili before, too.
Sometime soon, I'd like to make perogies from scratch for my first time. Potato and onion perogies, pan fried with butter and with sauteed onions and served with sour cream. I plan to create a Russian beet salad to go with it (it will include carrots, diced red onion, diced deli style dill pickle, fresh herbs, seasoning, and olive oil). Geez, I just remembered a lamb dinner I wanna make sometime kind of soon-ish, too! (With a Greek yogurt sauce to go with it, and some vegetable curry couscous)
I like trying new things with cooking meals and working up an arsenal of recipes I'm good at making. I'd like to have a wife someday, and share cooking with her, and sometimes do special meals at home with her.
Three days ago, my brothers and I got together and we pan fried tilapia. A couple of filets with Cajun seasoning, and then the rest with fresh ground salt and pepper, and then served with lemon on our plates. We ate it with white rice and cooked broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. Easy to make and tastes great. This week, I'd like to get together with some people, and grill up (George Foeman grill since it is winter) with some boneless salmon, and then put it between two bagel halves with cream cheese on them. That is my idea for dinner some night.

When we used to live in Houston TX, getting japanese ingredients was tough. The closest decent market was an hour+ drive. In fact, for a few decades, my wife's grandfather *was* the importer for all the japanese families on the north side of town.
You might be able order basic items (spices, pickled stuff, etc) online if your town sucks for access.

Creamy Gnocchi Soup with Mushrooms and Spinach
1 and a half cups of chicken broth (Or whatever broth you're comfortable with)
Half a cup of whipping cream (You can can use half & half or heavy cream if you want)
Gnocchi (Buy any kind from your local supermarket)
About a handful or two of uncooked spinachleaves
About a handful or two of your favorite mushrooms, chopped
Half an onion, chopped or diced
Pepper, salt, garlic, italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper to taste (You may omit or substitute any of these)
A dash or two of salt
In a pot combine olive oil (just enough to coat the bottom of the pot) and butter/margarine on medium-high heat. One the butter is melted, add the onion. Cook the onion until translucent. Add chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add gnocchi and let simmer until cooked (alternatively you can cook the gnocchi separately in water like you would normal pasta, following the directions you're given on the packaging, and then add it to the soup once tender).
Lower the heat and stir in cream. Do not let the soup boil if possible, remove from the heat for a minute if necessary. (If it does boil it's no big deal, but don't let it boil continuously or you might get something funky!) Add spinach and mushrooms. Add all seasonings to personal taste at this point. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for another 10 mins. It's done!
Smoked Salmon Sandwich
Smoked Salmon or Nova Lox
Cream cheese
1 slice raw onion (I'd recommend red onion or vidallia/sweet onion)
1-2 tomato slices
Your favorite bread
Lemon juice (optional)
Pepper to taste (optional)
Spread some cream cheese on both slices. Top one slice with salmon, onion, and tomato. Add pepper and lemon juice if you like (if you're using nova lox, I add it to help diffuse some of the saltiness). Put the other slice on top and eat!
Try adding avocado slices for some added creaminess. If you don't like onion or are just looking for some extra crunch, try adding baby spinach (or any veggie leaf you want). It's so yummy!

So today, for the first time, I used Sichuan peppercorns in my cooking. Roasting them and grinding them was a bit irritating, and the smell is very... unusual. Technically they're not even peppercorns, but that's their name, so whatever.
However, once I actually made my dish I found it's end effect to be very surprising, while it's flavour is pretty mild (a bit like lemon?), it has very strange other effects, namely a mildly numbing effect on the tongue that is quite pleasant. It's like conventional spiciness, but not at the same time. Considering how conventional "hot" spicyness is so popular, I was surprised that I'd never come across such a sensation before.
Why aren't Sichuan peppercorns used more often? I haven't even encountered it at most of the Chinese (or other) restaurants I've been to. Anyone else have anything to say about these strange peppercorns?

The only slack I cut for such is that some regions are simply ..... too white-bread-mayo to tolerate much in the way of spice and the restaurants just dial it down completely (which makes me sad...)

As far as I'm aware though, there is only one Sichuan restaurant in Dublin (not that I've done an authoritative survey), the rest being more conventional Cantonese style. That single Sichuan restuarant is fairly popular, and it probably was using Sichuan peppers, but I wasn't noticing due to the fact that every meal I ate there I was continuously dousing a fire in my mouth!

Hmm ... I eat all kinds of different types of food ... with Italian food being the type I enjoy preparing the most. I especially love preparing flour based gravies, tomato based sauces to go on ... well, anything!
They type of food I love to eat (i.e. can't prepare much of anything of it) is Japanese cuisine. When I visited Japan a few years ago the folks I was staying with would prepare food by hand and I was in heaven! Even with that I was once taken to a restaurant in Kanazawa, and the seafood was inhumanly scrumptious. Oh wait ... I am diverging from the OP of the thread. Sorry!
I like to prepare Baba ghanoush too. Here is the base recipe from the link:
Great stuff.

Underweight Food Hoarder
My favorite dish that I can actually cook is spicy stir-fried kidneys. I make this usually for special occasions.
I don't follow recipes when I cook nor do I measure my stuff. I'm just gonna wing this:
- Pork kidney, cut it into thick slices (clean the middle of the kidney), then carve patterns into each slice (increase surface area for flavour, and appeal)
Spoiler for Pattern:
- Soak it in cold water with a spoon of salt (Eyeball it) and several spoons of chili paste for an hour. Then drain.
- Cut a cucumber into thin slices (diagonally), or some Japanese squash/cucumber looking thing that I can't name.
- Split 1~2 bamboo shoots into thin slices.
- Crush garlic, ginger. Cut leek rings.
- Fill a pan or w/e with a thick line of oil (I like to use petroleum ) and Soy sauce. How much soy sauce is based on # of people and preference. I just pour it out of the bottle so I can't give a # of spoons.
- Catapult the kidneys and bamboo shoots into the pan. Add Sichuan peppercorn and 10~20 whole dried red hot chili pepper (the band of course). You could split them for more spiciness or use green. It depends on your diplomatic relations with red and green peppers.
- Stir for an arbitrary 30 seconds. If the kidney slices look dead, mix the cucumber slices and ginger. Also add a small amount of sugar. I recall my mother said it brings out something out of the dish (It summons Cthulu)
- When the kidneys look brown-gray (EDIBLE) and bamboo shoots are floppy like chinese swords, pour the whole thing into a deep plate (if there's a lot of liquid. you may need to drain. I know Canadian meat all have hammerspace holding 50 gallons of water/blood)
- Sprinkle the leek rings and garlic at the end.
- Some people add other types of oils for certain tastes, I don't add anything.
- Serve
On a normal day, I

I don't cook all that often (in terms of making stuff rather than just adding heat).
I make desserts from time to time. One is known as Scotch Crunchies. It has a story behind it.
It was out of a Betty Crocker cookbook. But one of my college courses wanted us to make "traditional ethnic meals" for a holiday party. My family, having been on this continent for 13 generations...doesn't have an ethic dish anymore. We have dessert. We have Scots-Irish as a background...so Scotch Crunchies became an "ethnic food".
It normally calls for:
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup of salted cashews
2 cups of chow mein noodles
You basically melt the two kinds of chips together in a double boiler, then remove from heat and mix in the nuts and noodles until covered. Then drop them a teaspoon at a time on wax paper. Cool in a refrigerator until solid. Serve. Makes about 4 dozen.
I've changed it from time to time. I've made double batches though there is barely enough room in the double boiler to mix that all together.
I've substituted peanut butter chips for the butterscotch. That tasted fine. I substituted white chocolate for the chocolate (that did not taste as good, nor did it melt very well. They were edible, but not as good, it also didn't look very good). I recently substituted cinnimon chips for the butterscotch chips because that is what we had. They turned out fairly good...a little heavy on the cinnimon smell and flavor, but they taste good.

Burger King says it's attracting more customers with its new lower-calorie fries but is being careful not to call them a home run yet.
The Miami-based company said Monday that it saw sales trends in North America turn positive after last month's launch of "Satisfries," which have 20 percent fewer calories than its regular fries because of a batter that absorbs less oil.
"It brought in incremental consumers who would otherwise not have come into Burger King," said Alex Macedo, the chain's president of North American operations. He noted that other promotions also played a role in improving sales and stressed that the economic climate nevertheless remained challenging.
(Read more: Did climate change kill McDonald's Dollar Menu?)
The move into positive sales territory in October comes after Burger King said that sales slipped 0.3 percent at North America restaurants open at least a year during its third quarter. Satisfries, which cost around 30 cents more than regular fries, weren't introduced until the last week of the quarter, which ended Sept. 30.

Pack in the sights to your Perth holiday, known for its sunshine, natural beauty and relaxed pace. Sail down the shimmering, blue Swan River or look over the city and its waterways from Kings Park. Swim, surf or just watch the sunset from Cottesloe Beach, then hit Northbridge's cheap eateries and trendy bars. Dine out on Indian Ocean seafood and explore Australia's best-preserved 19th century streetscapes in colourful Fremantle. Dedicate a day to discovering Rottnest Island by bike, boat or foot. Swim and surf from perfect white beaches, snorkel with tropical fish and coral and get up close to diverse wildlife.
The Journey
Pack in the sights to your Perth holiday, known for its sunshine, natural beauty and relaxed pace.
City, gardens and river
Take a free city bus, jumping off at attractions like the Perth Cultural Centre, Perth Art Gallery and Swan Bell Tower. Have lunch on the Swan River, watching boats sail past the city skyline. Or pack a picnic and head to the elevated green expanse of Kings Park and Botanic Garden. Wander past the bushland, gardens and lakes and stare over the city, river and Darling Range from scenic vantage points such as the State War Memorial. Take the bus to Cottesloe Beach, where you can swim, snorkel or surf in the clear waters or relax on the terraced lawns beneath the Norfolk Pines. Watch the sun sink into the Indian Ocean from a pub or café along the boulevard. Then head to Northbridge, where you can dine out on an international kaleidoscope of cuisines and explore the many pubs, hotels and nightclubs. Alternatively, see a musical performance at the Perth Concert Hall or a play in the Perth Theatre.
Fremantle fun
Cruise down the Swan River to the charming port of Fremantle. Have an al fresco brunch along South Terrace, then wander the buzzing heritage-listed streets. On weekends the carnival atmosphere is amplified with colourful markets and roving magicians and musicians. Buy hand-made jewellery and local artworks, get your tarot cards read or sit for your portrait. Learn about Fremantle's history in the Western Australian Maritime Museum or the Fremantle Prison. See the whipping post, gallows, solitary cells and chapel and learn about the daring escapes on a tour. Wander from here into Henderson Street, where Fremantle's original market is held Friday to Monday and on public holidays. Shop for Aboriginal artworks and local produce, then browse the bookshops and boutiques along nearby South Terrace and Market Street. In the evening, soak up the maritime flavour of Fishing Boat Harbour. Visit the boutique brewery and enjoy fish and chips on the wharf or in a waterside restaurant.
Rottnest Island
Take the ferry to Rottnest Island, where there are 63 beaches, 20 bays and no cars to spoil the tranquility. Hire a bike and ride through the island's centre to Oliver Hill, where huge guns and underground tunnels were installed last century. Take in the sweeping views and walk to the salt lakes or old lighthouse. Spot diverse birdlife and quokkas, the island's native marsupial. Cycle north to Little Parakeet Bay for a swim in the clear, protected waters. Stop for lunch in a café at Geordie Bay, a little further along. If you'd prefer to explore underwater, follow a snorkel trail at Parker Point or over various shipwreck sites. Scuba dive in Fish Hook Bay, where coral reefs make the water a patchwork of different blues. Surf at Strickland, Salmon and Stark Bays, where the waves can be two to three feet taller than those off Perth beaches. Finish the day with a sunset meal in the island's historic beachside pub.

"SUNY tried to padlock this hospital four weeks ago. We've watched it violate court orders in broad daylight. Now, the court is putting all that to an end," said Public Advocate Bill de Blasio. "These steps will ensure this community will have continuity of care for the immediate future. This is a huge step forward."
Despite stating publicly that it would remove its request for the hospital's closure, SUNY eliminated ambulatory surgeries, began moving patients to other facilities and refused to allow ambulances to drop patients off at the emergency room.
Baynes included in his ruling a court-appointed ombudsmen who will monitor SUNY's compliance with the court order. The name and contact information of the ombudsman must be posted in 36-inch type throughout the hospital.
"This is very exciting news," said Roy Sloan, president of the Cobble Hill Association. "I'm glad the court has taken action on behalf of the residents and the staff of the hospital."
SUNY must also remove all armed guards other than those deemed necessary for crowd control and safety. Guards attempted to block de Blasio from entering the premises and serving a second temporary restraining order against SUNY on July 19.
"Once again, the court has ruled that SUNY must stop creating chaos for Brooklyn patients and must keep LICH open for care," said Jill Furillo, executive director of the New York State Nurses Association. "SUNY has violated every single court order that they have received up until now. They need to stop disrespecting the law and stop hurting care for Brooklyn patients."
"We will comply with the court's order to maintain the status quo as of July 19, 4 p.m., as we continue to work toward a settlement to resolve all the issues," said David Doyle, a spokesperson for SUNY. "As always, patient health and safety will remain our most important concern."

Dare To Speak Presents I PLEAD GUILTY May 18-29
DARE TO SPEAK PRODUCTIONS is pleased to announce the World Premiere production of I PLEAD GUILTY, written and directed by Natalia Pelevine, based on the real events of the Moscow theatre siege of 2002. It is adapted from Pelevine's play In Your Hands, which, after a successful London run, was translated into Russian and banned there by the government officials after just one performance. I PLEAD GUILTY will play a limited engagement at Gene Frankel Theater, (24 Bond Street, New York, NY 10012). Performances begin Wednesday, May 18 and continue through Sunday, May 29. Opening Night is Friday, May 20 (7:30 p.m.).
Eight hours into the siege of a theatre, Islamic terrorists have taken the audience hostage, demanding for troops to be pulled out of their land. They insist that if this does not happen, the government will have the blood of many on their hands.
In this midst of this horror, an interaction occurs between two women, the journalist, Natasha, and black widow terrorist, Seda. Their relationship, tense, difficult, and dangerous takes an unforeseen turn, when Seda, removes her veil and reveals her personal story to Natasha whose life is in her hands. In disbelief and agonizing circumstances, the two women are stripped of their roles as victim and villain, and are simply that- women.
The production features scenic design by Jane Stein, lighting design by Jeff Nash and Catriona Rubenis-Stevens is the stage manager and producer.

Minimum Requirement
120 degree credits
Students must have a cumulative 2.0 grade point average on UW-Green Bay courses and a 2.0 grade point average for each major and/or minor. Certain majors, minors, and professional programs may have higher minimum grade point graduation requirements.
The Major and Minor
UW-Green Bay offers both disciplinary and interdisciplinary majors. A more thorough explanation of these terms can be found in A UW-Green Bay Education.
The choice of major determines whether a minor is required. For example, the field of Environmental Policy and Planning is an interdisciplinary major. It has two areas of emphasis: public policy and planning. The University's academic program emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary learning, and requires students to choose either an interdisciplinary major or minor. Since the Environmental Policy and Planning major is interdisciplinary, the student will have fulfilled the requirement of interdisciplinary study. A minor is then optional, rather than required.
The student who has chosen a disciplinary major – for example, Chemistry – follows a different path. With a major in a discipline, he or she is required to choose a minor in a program that is interdisciplinary – for example, in Human Biology.
There are exceptions. These include programs that are offered only as majors or only as minors and professional studies such as Business Administration and Education which have distinctive structures. The student will want to carefully study the individual program descriptions.
Areas of Emphasis
Students can develop significant specializations by choosing areas of emphasis offered by many UW-Green Bay majors and minors. These can lead to specific and productive career fields. Examples of areas of emphasis include gallery/museum practices, nutritional sciences/dietetics, law and justice studies, and photography. Students can learn about other areas of emphasis by reading descriptions of related majors and minors in this catalog, and by consulting advisers.
Teacher Preparation
The University offers an interdisciplinary major in Education for students seeking pre-school and elementary-level teaching licensure and an interdisciplinary minor in Education for students who desire licensure at the secondary level. Teacher preparation is offered for the following age levels:
- Early Childhood (Ages 0-8)
- Middle Childhood through Early Adolescence (Ages 6-12/13)
- Early Adolescence through Adolescence (Ages 10-21)
- Early Childhood through Adolescence (All Ages)
Preprofessional Programs
The University offers a wide variety of preprofessional programs. Some programs may be completed within one or two years while others require the completion of a four-year baccalaureate program prior to transfer to the professional school. For information, contact the Academic Advising Office. The preprofessional programs are:
- Chiropractic
- Dentistry
- Dietetics
- Engineering
- Law
- Medicine
- Nursing
- Optometry
- Pharmacy
- Physical Therapy
- Physician Assistant
- Veterinary Medicine
Cooperative Program
- Engineering (cooperative program with UW-Milwaukee)
Certificates and Other Programs
- Coaching (Athletics)
- Environmental Sustainability and Business
- Military Science (ROTC)
- Nonprofit Management
- Professional Accounting
- Teaching English as a Second Language
Associate of Arts and Sciences Degree
UW-Green Bay offers a two-year program of study leading to an associate of arts and sciences (AAS) degree. Requirements for the degree include completion of:
- most of the general education requirements for the baccalaureate degree (student does not complete two upper-level writing or Capstone courses);
- the math and English proficiency and competency requirements;
- 33 credits of "breadth" courses which includes the general education requirements;
- a 12-credit area of study as defined by an academic adviser;
- 60 degree credits (AAS candidates are not eligible for honors programs);
- 15 credits earned "in residence";
- a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
Students should contact the Academic Advising Office as early as possible for assistance in planning their programs to assure that all degree requirements are fulfilled.
Academic Advising
The academic advising process at UW-Green Bay is designed to maximize students' educational potential through communication and information exchanges with an adviser; these exchanges are ongoing, individualized, multifaceted, and the responsibility of both student and adviser. Advising is assumed to be a developmental, decision-making process that assists students in the clarification of their life/career goals and the completion of educational plans for the realization of those goals. The adviser serves as a facilitator and coordinator of student learning through educational planning and academic progress review, and an agent of referral to other campus programs and services as necessary. Academic advising is a joint effort of Academic Affairs and Student Affairs.
All first year students, new transfer students and undeclared students will be assigned to a professional adviser in the Office of Academic Advising until the point in which the student officially declares the major. Upon official declaration of the major, the student will be assigned to a faculty adviser for that major. The student's assigned adviser and contact information is available in the student's SIS (Student Information System) account.
Contact the Office of Academic Advising for more information about academic advisers and the advising process.
Declaration of Major
All students are encouraged to discuss a major with faculty representatives as early as possible in their undergraduate career. All students are required to have a complete academic plan (e.g., interdisciplinary major or minor, area of emphasis) on file with the Registrar's Office by the time they have a total of 45 credits earned. The academic plan form is available online at http://www.uwgb.edu/registrar .

BATON ROGUE, La. (AP) Sports Illustrated is reporting that former LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu might have violated NCAA rules by promoting a night club while he was still a member of the team.
The magazine reports Mathieu appeared in a video made by a group of his friends that goes by the name Era Nation in which he promotes a party at a Baton Rouge club called The Palace on March 10 of this year.
His pictures were also on fliers promoting the event called ``Era Nation Album Release Party For Tyrann Mathieu.'' The flier also featured photographs of former LSU star Mo Claiborne, now with the Dallas Cowboys, and current LSU defensive tackle Anthony Johnson.
NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes from allowing their names or pictures to be used in advertising the sale of a product or service.
LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette said the school is aware of the promotional material with Johnson's photograph, but does not believe he committed an NCAA violation.
``We are comfortable that Anthony did not know about it,'' Bonnette said.
Claiborne was done playing for LSU at the time the flier was distributed. As it turns out, so was Mathieu.
He was dismissed from the LSU football team in August for failing a drug test, and entered a treatment program run by former NBA player John Lucas.
Instead of transferring to another lower-division school to play this season, Mathieu re-enrolled at LSU but is not playing football.
Any NCAA issues could affect his ability to return to football with LSU or another school next season

Nov. 16, 2006
Senior guard Trey Williams scored another career high in points Thursday night as the Bisons lost their first game of the season to the University of Missouri 89-69.
After opening up the season 2-0, with two come-from-behind victories, Missouri took the lead early in the first half and pressured the Bisons into making mistakes all night long.
"I am in disbelief of what I just saw for the last two hours," Head Coach Scott Sanderson said.
"I am absolutely floored. I am not taking anything away from Missouri whatsoever; they should have beaten us by 35 points. I am absolutely floored at how we played from our main guys, guys that we are counting on to help us win another league championship."
Defensive breakdowns and turnovers plagued the Bisons, while lights out shooting from the Tigers told the story.
"If you don't defend people, if you turn the ball over, and you don't get back in transition defense, you are going to get beat by anybody, not just by Missouri, but by anybody," Sanderson said.
The Bisons opened up a 9-5 lead with 16:26 left in the first half on a Jason Hopkins layup, but that would be the last lead the Bisons had for the rest of the game.
Forcing the Bisons into turnovers with relentless full court pressure, Missouri went on a 17-0 run over the next seven minutes, and jumped out to a 13-point lead with 8:58 to go in the first half. Missouri scored 13 points off 14 first half turnovers from the Bisons.
"We really couldn't simulate (Missouri's) speed and quickness in practice, but a lot of turnovers we had were just unforced," Sanderson said. "Guys falling down, stepping out of bounds, palming the ball, and I am not trying to be negative, but it was like the Bad News Bears."
The Bisons finished the game with 24 turnovers from which Missouri turned those turnovers into 24 points.
"They had 24 points off of 21 turnovers," Sanderson said. "Then in transition, they are going down there and it is a dunk fest."
"It goes back to fundamentals. It goes back to passing, catching, and rebounding the basketball."
The Bisons trailed by as many as 16 points with 6:56 to go in the first half before cutting the lead at halftime to 38-27.
Missouri came out in the second half and scored the first four points to increase the lead to 42-27. The Bisons never recovered from the first half pressure, and the closest the score ever got in the second half was 11 points.
The Tigers, led by guard Keon Lawrence who had 17 points, led by as many as 25 points in the game.
Trey Williams led all scorers in the game with 23 points, after posting 21 points to lead the way against Evansville on Monday night.
Eddie Ard was the only other Bison in double figures with 15 points.
The Bisons struggled from the field shooting for the third straight game. The Bisons went 20-58 from the field for 34.5 percent, and 9-31 from behind the 3-point line for 29 percent.
"We have just been shooting blanks," Sanderson said. "We just haven't made a shot at all. We are in too big of a hurry offensively and we have not gotten into a very good flow."
Missouri, who now improves to 4-0 on the year, shot 25-57 from the field for 43.9 percent and 12-23 from the 3-point line for 52.2 percent. In their first three games, the Tigers had only shot 48.1 percent from the free throw line, but against the Bisons, the Tigers shot an impressive 77.1 percent going 27-35 from the line.
"I don't understand it; I don't have a reason for it," Sanderson said. "I know we have two days of practice before we play Sunday afternoon against South Carolina, but there is no excuse now."
Sanderson said even though he was disappointed in the way the game turned out, he is still excited about what this team can do this year.
"As bad as we were, I am excited about our team, I really am," Sanderson said. "We have a lot of personnel. I feel very good about our team. We have a good quality win already, and we have not played very well yet this year."
The Bisons will now have two days off before they face Southeastern Conference Opponent South Carolina. Sanderson said that the team will look at the film from this game and learn how to correct their mistakes.
"Video tape is amazing, and our guys have been very good at learning from that," Sanderson said. "We will have two days to be able to watch it, understand it, and learn from it. I hope we can build on it."
"[This game] is unfortunate, but we will go back to work tomorrow and learn from our mistakes. Our guys will work extremely hard in practice and hope we will have a better result on Sunday afternoon."
The Bisons face Head Coach Scott Sanderson's alma mater on Sunday at South Carolina. Sanderson said it will be fun to go back to where he played college basketball, but this trip is all about business for him.
"It will be fun to get back home to my old stomping ground where I played college basketball," Sanderson said. "A lot of the players that played when I was there will be there, but I am there going for work."
"[I am going there] to try to get our team better and try to get them to understand their roles of what they can and can't do. I look forward to the game on Sunday afternoon, but we need two days of practice."
The Bisons take on South Carolina in Columbia on Sunday at 2:00 pm cdt. Radio Coverage for the game will be on AM 1200 with coverage beginning at 1:45 pm cdt. You can also listen to the game online at www.lipscombsports.com.

Significant Objects Becomes A Book... More Infinite Goods Creating New Scarcities
from the cool dept
The Significant Objects experiment was just a neat "pure" example of this in action, clearly showing how objects that otherwise would have been valued quite low by most potential buyers, could gain in value when an infinite element (a good story) was attached.
It's cool to see that those behind the Significant Objects projects are still trying to do more with the concept. The auctions apparently are still going on, but now they're trying something different as well. They're taking those stories and compiling them into a book (scarce). In fact, the story behind the book (infinite) makes the physical book more valuable as well. To make it even more "valuable," they've brought on some top artists to illustrate the stories -- so even if you read them for free online, there's now more value in buying the physical book to have the physical artwork as well.
