A Food Blog that shares tried & true recipes, and my passion for cooking and baking with a garnish of beginning gardening and some travel.
Saturday, July 4, 2009
4th of July treats from my Tried & True contributions
Today, in America-- the land of the free-- we are firing up the grills, shucking corn, stirring the beans and getting ready to grill our steaks, chicken and shrimp. I can hardly wait!
My brother lives in Santa Cruz, CA (aka "Surf City") ... and just across the street from Capitola Beach:
It's a beautiful area, just across the Monterey Bay-- a scenic drive past the Castroville artichoke fields and at the gateway of the beautiful redwood forests of Santa Cruz/Highway 17.
I thought I'd post a two of my most viewed recipes. I am making these to my brother's shindig. Both of these come from the Pioneer Woman Cooks. I refer to several of her recipes as "The Devil's Spawn". These are wickedly good, loaded with calories and always a hit whenever I make them.
The garlic bread is outstanding! I've already frozen some, and all I have to do is thaw it and broil it. For details on how to make it, click here:
The sheet cake, also from Pioneer Woman, (also known as Texas Chocolate Sheetcake) is so simple to make. I already know that it will be a hit at the party. To see how to make it, click here:
I am taking a break from spending so much time in my kitchen, after three days of jam making. I'm seriously considering making the white cake version and garnishing it with fresh strawberries.
Happy 4th of July!

I guess I'd better get my entry in for the Jam! My favorite is Strawberry! My mom used to make jam with me in Montana growing up... choke cherries, wild raspberry, and huckleberry. Nothing better. She made a "freezer jam" too. I remember having fresh bisquits warm from the oven with melted butter and fresh made strawberry jam. The growing season was short in Montana making the berries smaller and sweeter!
Here's a wonderful recipe I made for the 4th for friends. Everyone enjoyed.Raspberry Cheesecake Bars
1 C sugar divided
½ C (1 stick) butter softened
1 ¼ C all purpose flour
1 8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ tsp almond extract
1 egg
¼ C seedless raspberry jam- (I used less& I substituted strawberry)
1. Preheat oven to 350F grease a 9" square baking pan
2. Combine ½ c sugar and butter in large mixing bowl. Mix well. Stir in flour until crumbly. Press into pan. Bake 15-18 min, until edges are lightly golden. Mixture won't be fully cooked.
3. Combine remaining ½ C sugar, cream cheese, almond extract and egg. Beat at high speed until well blended. Pour over crust.
4. Place 2 T. of jam in small bowl and microwave on high 15 seconds. Stir and use tip of spoon to swirl jam into cream cheese mixture over crust.
5. Bake 18-20 more minutes until set. Cool and swirl remaining jam in a thin layer.(this step I skipped) Refrigerate 30 minutes before cutting. Makes 16 bars

Kovalchuk shines in semi-final clash of superpowers
BERNE – Russia's drive to repeat is still alive. On a late power play goal by Konstantin Gorovikov, the defending World Champions beat the Americans 3-2 at PostFinance Arena in the semi-finals and moved on to a gold medal showdown with Canada.Alexander Radulov stepped into the right faceoff circle and zinged a shot through traffic with 1:47 left, and it deflected in off Gorovikov. Radulov flourished his stick in a demonstrative celebration in the neutral zone as the building erupted with Russian cheers."The winning goal hit 21 [Gorovikov] in the back and then went in the other direction," said US coach Ron Wilson. "We weren't lucky, but I thought we played outstanding. It was a great team effort. We came here to win a medal. Once we get over this disappointment, it's time to get ready for the bronze game."After earning its first title in 15 years in Quebec City in 2008, Russia is looking to win back-to-back golds for the first time since 1989 and 1990. Both of those titles were captured under the banner of the Soviet Union.It'll be a rematch of last year's final with Canada, where Russia prevailed 5-4 on Ilya Kovalchuk's OT winner.The USA's all-time record in semi-final action fell to two wins and five losses. It still has a shot at its first World Championship medal since 2004's bronze in the Czech Republic. Historically, Russia has beaten the USA 30 times at the Worlds, with four losses and one tie."The US played smart defensively," said Russian blueliner Denis Grebeshkov. "They're not very experienced, but you wouldn't have known that from the way they played today."Kovalchuk had a goal and an assist, tying him temporarily with Canada's Martin St. Louis for the tournament points lead (14), and Alexander Frolov also scored for Russia. Dustin Brown and Kyle Okposo replied for the USA.Ilya Bryzgalov outduelled Robert Esche in goal as Russia outshot its opponents 23-20.The win represented a kind of vindication for Bryzgalov. He was in goal at the 2000 IIHF World Championship when Esche backstopped the US to a 3-0 round-robin victory in St. Petersburg, and Russia ended up with a worst-ever 11th-place finish on home ice."Not only is Kovalchuk playing really well, but so are others, like Bryzgalov," said Russian coach Vyacheslav Bykov. "We had a good game tonight, and it's good once again to be in the finals."The Russians took it to the Americans after the opening puck drop, forcing Esche to make several good close-in saves. Later, they hemmed the Americans in their own end. The heavily pro-Russian crowd of 11,057 was energized, and Esche gave up some juicy rebounds. However, the first-period shots on goal only favoured Russia 7-6, and the USA maintained a good defensive posture.At 3:46 of the second period, Brown grabbed a sloppy outlet pass by Vitali Atyushov, stickhandled in on Bryzgalov, and beat the goalie five-hole to make it 1-0.But Russia had a response. At 11:20, Kovalchuk made it 1-1 with a lightning slapper right off a faceoff in the USA end.And the superstar NHL winger continued to dance, testing Esche with his unbelievable release. With 5:35 left in the period, Kovalchuk burst into the USA zone, cut right and fired left from the slot. This wasn't his best shot, but Frolov deflected it past Esche on the blocker side for a 2-1 lead.Yet before Russia could seize all the momentum, Okposo neatly snapped a cross-ice pass from John-Michael Liles past Bryzgalov, just after an Alexei Tereschenko minor for diving had expired, and the game was tied again at 18:03 of the second."It felt good to score," said Okposo. "Our line had been scored on a few times, so we owed a little bit."Early in the third period, the Russians thought they had scored at the end of an Oksopo slashing minor when the red light flashed and the crowd roared, but Atyushov's point shot actually went off the outside of the net.Next, the Americans tried to pull ahead on a power play of their own, but came no closer than an Okposo one-timer that rang off the outside of the post.The teams traded chances down the stretch. Russia couldn't capitalize on a puck deflecting off a skate in the crease or a 2-on-1 shorthanded break. At the other end, Jason Blake cut to the net and put a backhand off the post.The tension mounted, and after a flurry of glorious Russian chances near Esche's cage, T.J. Oshie was sent off for hooking with 4:29 remaining. Atyushov, Kovalchuk, and Nikulin tested the American netminder with point drives, but Esche was equal to the test. Only the Radulov-to-Gorovikov combo proved his undoing.With Esche pulled for an extra attacker, Patrick O'Sullivan had a last-second chance to tie it but fired high and wide as the Americans fell short.Kovalchuk and Okposo were, fittingly, named the Players of the Game.The USA's three best players of the tournament were announced: David Backes, Dustin Brown, and Ron Hainsey. For Russia, it was Oleg Tverdovsky, Oleg Saprykin, and Ilya Kovalchuk.After falling one goal short, the Americans may regret not adding Zach Parise to their lineup. The New Jersey Devils forward led all USA players in NHL goals (45) and points (94) this year, and was willing and available to join the World Championship squad. However, the Americans went ahead and filled their roster before Parise could be brought over to Switzerland.Russia beat the USA 4-1 earlier in this tournament, while the last American World Championship victory over Russia was 3-2 on May 1, 2004. The USA hasn't won gold at this tournament since 1933, and that drought will continue for at least another year."We're going to build off our effort level from this game," said Okposo, looking ahead to the bronze medal game. "This was as hard as our team has played all tournament. We gave 100 percent all over the ice, and if we do it again on Sunday, I'm confident of our chances."LUCAS AYKROYD

June 11, 2013
NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Twelve University of Notre Dame athletic teams earned perfect 1,000 scores--more perfect scores than any other Football Bowl Subdivision school registered--in the ninth annual set of Academic Progress Rate statistics issued today by the NCAA.
All 26 Irish athletics programs again exceeded the NCAA's APR minimum standards.
Notre Dame's 12 perfect scores of 1,000 led all FBS programs for the second straight year. Stanford ranked second with 11, while Duke had 10. Boston College and Northwestern tied for fourth with nine each, followed by Vanderbilt (seven) and Rice (six).
Notre Dame also led the FBS schools in 1,000 scores in 2012 (also with 12) and in 2009 (with nine).
The 2013 report released by the NCAA features a four-year compilation of APR data from the 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 academic years. The APR uses a series of formulas related to student-athlete retention and eligibility to measure the academic performances of all participants who receive grants-in-aid on every team at every NCAA Division I college and university.
Eight Notre Dame's men's teams--basketball, cross country, fencing, golf, lacrosse, tennis, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field--registered perfect 1,000 scores. Four Irish women's teams--cross country, golf, softball, and swimming and diving--also earned perfect scores.
Ten other Notre Dame teams produced scores of 991 or better: women's rowing (998), men's swimming and diving (997), women's lacrosse (997), women's volleyball (995), men's soccer (994), women's indoor track and field (994), women's outdoor track and field (994), baseball (992), women's tennis (991) and men's ice hockey (991).
The release follows the announcement last week by the NCAA of teams that posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The public recognition awards are part of the broad Division I academic reform effort.
Notre Dame had 15 of its programs honored last week for the multi-year achievement--baseball, men's basketball, men's cross country, men's fencing, men's golf, men's lacrosse, men's soccer, men's swimming and diving, men's tennis, men's indoor track and field, men's outdoor track and field, women's cross country, women's golf, softball, and women's swimming and diving.
Notre Dame had 17 programs honored with public recognition awards in both 2012 and 2011, 14 sports honored in both 2010 and 2009--and 11 programs honored in both 2007 and 2008.
Notre Dame this year led the way in terms of FBS schools in number of programs honored (Duke also had 15).
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester, by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes both retention at institution and academic eligibility in its calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport.

Shifting Senate Landscape Draws New Faces
GOP Used Polls to Woo Rep. Gardner to Challenge Sen. Udall in Colorado
Rep. Cory Gardner of Colorado is in an enviable position, with a safe House seat and bright prospects for joining his party's leadership. So when GOP officials last year asked him to give it all up to run for the Senate, he declined.
Last week, amid more appeals from party leaders and weak poll numbers for Democrats, Mr. Gardner reversed course—a significant boost to GOP hopes not only for unseating Democratic Sen. Mark Udall but also for claiming a Senate majority....

Lesson 7 of 11
Objective: SWBAT prove triangles are congruent by Angle-Side-Angle.
Big Idea: Students will write formal proofs showing how triangles are congruent when two corresponding angles and the included side are congruent.
Do Now
In a previous lesson, students investigated the side-angle-side postulate where they identified the included angle between two sides in order to prove two triangles congruent. Students should have fluency with identifying and labeling parts of a triangle. This do now checks students' ability to correctly identify the included angle between two sides in a triangle. They are given a complex diagram and asked to identify the included angle between two specific sides (MP1). It leads into the Mini-Lesson where students will identify the included side between two angles in a triangle.
Resources (2)
As in the Do Now, to begin the mini-lesson students are given a complex triangle and asked to identify parts of the triangle. Students look at two angles and identify the sides included between the two angles. This activity leads to a review of the Angle-Side-Angle Postulate, which students first looked at in a previous lesson. Students can refer back to the charts they completed in that lesson for a definition of the ASA postulate.
Resources (2)
In this Activity, students are given six diagrams with given statements. For the first three questions, students write formal two-column proofs. In the last three questions, students can write two-column or paragraph proofs.
For the first few minutes of the activity, I have the students look at the problems and brainstorm what they need to do in order to prove the statements. After they have a plan, I ask them to begin writing their formal proofs. As they work, I circulate around the room and help them with the flow and precision of their proofs, as needed.
After about 20 minutes I plan to choose several students to present their proofs of questions four through six on the document camera. I call on students who did their proofs using different methods to compare their results.
Resources (2)
For today's Exit Ticket I present students with one of the diagrams from the earlier activity and I ask them to identify and label corresponding congruent parts of the triangles. Since they have already proved that the parts were congruent in the activity, the task should go smoothly. This task prepares students for the tomorrow's lesson on writing proofs involving corresponding parts of congruent triangles.

The 2011 growing season is likely to be one that is talked about for decades to come, whether it be the late planting in many areas last spring, greatly above normal rainfall and flooded fields from late May to early June, severe storms during the early part of the summer, or the extremely dry weather in August and early September. All of that was topped off by a very early killing frost in many areas of Minnesota and surrounding states on the morning of Sept. 15, which is two to three weeks earlier than normal at most locations.
Most of the primary corn and soybean production areas of southern and western Minnesota recorded low temperatures of 27-33° F that morning. Anything below 28° is considered a killing freeze; however, temperatures of 29-32° F for a few hours can have a similar effect on crops. Maturity levels of the crops varied considerably throughout the region.
A majority of corn in the southern portions of Minnesota that was planted in late April and early May was very close to reaching physiological maturity, or black layer, however, north of that area, most corn was planted in mid- to late May, and was probably two to three weeks from reaching maturity. Most soybeans are likely to be impacted by the early frost, but again there will be a lot of variation in the amount of damage. Soybeans that were beginning to turn color and were within a couple weeks of maturity may only have light to moderate damage; however, the later-planted soybeans could have significant yield loss. In addition, some areas did not have a killing freeze, only a moderate frost.
Producers who have crop losses from the early frost, along with earlier losses from heavy rains, hail, wind or the very dry weather, should contact their crop insurance agent before harvest to alert them of a potential loss. Producers need to follow proper procedures and documentation during harvest to verify crop losses, and assure them of any potential insurance indemnity payments.
Many farm operators forward priced a considerable amount of their anticipated 2011 corn and soybean production in order to capture very favorable crop prices in recent months. Crop conditions in many areas of southern Minnesota looked good to excellent in late July and early August, resulting in some producers being fairly aggressive in yield projections for forward pricing. The very dry weather pattern late in the growing season, coupled with the early frost, could result in a few of these producers being short of bushels to fill their grain contracts. Farm operators who suspect this situation should talk to the grain purchaser to find out what options they have.
The early frost, along with the dry weather pattern and warmer-than-normal temperatures, is likely to bring on the initiation of corn and soybean harvest quite rapidly, especially in parts of southern Minnesota where corn has reached maturity. Corn is usually at 30-32% moisture when it reaches back layer, and ideally growers like to see corn dried down in the field to 20-22 percent moisture, or lower, before they harvest the corn. This greatly saves on corn drying costs, and improves the quality of the corn being harvested and going into storage. Corn is usually dried down to a final moisture content of 15-16 percent moisture for safe storage until the following Summer. Corn will dry down about 0.50 % per day naturally at an average daily temperature of 60 degrees F, which increases as average temperatures rise, and will decrease as temperatures drop below that level. At Waseca, the normal daily average air temperature in September is above 60 degrees, but that drops to about 48 degrees during October.
Harvest Safe this Season
The week of Sept. 18-24 has been designated National Farm Safety Week, which is very good timing as we enter full-scale fall harvest for the 2011 growing season. Farm Safety Week is a good time for farm families to review farm safety procedures. More farm accidents occur during the fall than at any other time of the year, and usually involve one or more farm family members. Special care should be taken with children and senior citizens around farm and grain-handling equipment, as these groups are the most vulnerable to farm accidents.
Federal and state statistics list farming as one of the most dangerous professions in the U.S. According to Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry data, 23 of the 69 work-related deaths in the state in 2010 involved the agriculture industry. There were 121 traffic accidents involving tractors and farm machinery in 2010, resulting in 19 injuries and two deaths.
The non-farm public also needs to pay extra attention when driving on rural roads during harvest season, especially before and after work or school. Farm vehicles are larger and move much slower than cars, and the Autumn sun is usually in a bad position during the times of heaviest traffic in the mornings and late afternoon on rural roads throughout the fall season. The best advice is to slow down, pay attention and stay off cell phones while driving.
For more details on fall farm and rural safety tips, go to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture website.

Explore Sha Tin is a 6.6 kilometer moderately trafficked loop trail located near the city of Lek Yuen, Hong Kong that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible year-round.
kid friendly
nature trips
wild flowers
A new town with a fascinating mix of cultural attractions, riverside walks, parks and Hong Kong's largest museum Sha Tin may be considered "off the beaten track" for many visitors but for those with more than just a short 3 or 4 day stay in Hong Kong, can prove to be a very rewarding day trip with a surprising number of attractions and something of interest for everyone. Sha Tin is one of Hong Kong's nine new towns which have been developed in phases in the New Territories since the early 1970's to accommodate its rapidly expanding urban population. Prior to the development of these new towns, the New Territories consisted almost entirely rural villages and small towns and Sha Tin has grown from a market town with a population of 30,000 to a major community of over 630,000 people since 1973. Its name means "sandy field", but until British colonisation in the late nineteenth century it had been known as "Lek Yuen", It is built on land mostly reclaimed from Tolo Harbour and one of its major features is a man-made river channel which extends the Shing Mun River from the foot of the hills surrounding Sha Tin, through this reclaimed land to the re-formed shore of Tolo Harbour. Many consider it to be the most attractive of Hong Kong's new towns, being overlooked by mountains and peaks and with parks and gardens and the river channel dividing the town. Whilst, in common with all Hong Kong's other new towns, the development features mainly high-rise apartment blocks Sha Tin has a surprising amount of cultural heritage and attractions of interest. This walk reveals some of Sha Tin's "hidden gems" and features one of Hong Kong's most unusual and interesting monasteries, a temple, ancient walled village, Hong Kong's largest museum, parks, gardens and one of Hong Kong's best shopping malls.

Public hearing nets few questions
Nebraska Public Power intends to build 115,000-volt transmission line to connect the 80 megawatt planned wind farm to the substation south of Broken Bow. Tuesday evening a public hearing was conducted to give, among others, land owners a chance to ask how they will be compensated for their inconvenience and their property. The projected cost of the nine mile line is $5.5 millions. By law, property owners are to be compensated 'equitably,' according to a payment formula based on appraised land values. NPPD intends to hire an independent appraiser to first assess land use and then value. The compensation packages says that NPPD will pay 80 percent of the appraised value and then add monies for the number and type of poles ($100 for a single pole, $250 for an H-Frame on pasture land and $500 for an H-Frame on hay land.) They said they will also pay for damages, including loss of crops and loss of trees which occur during construction. The intent is to sign as many land owners as possible to volunteer easements, but also reserve their right to acquire the utility easements by eminent domain should an agreement not be able to be reached. "We feel we have a good system in place and will treat you fairly," said Ron Starzec. Also by law, a 30 day comment period is conducted following Tuesday's public hearing during which negotiations may not take place.

lawns, building new garden beds). After using forks, picks, spades, cultivators, garden hoes, etc., it was obvious that the appropriate tool would be a long handled
tool that one could use standing upright, using the weight of the head to swing the tool downward chopping at the ground and pulling weeds towards oneself, it is
just common sense. Thanks for providing the tools I've been dreaming of!

The best new hoe I have found, for my body anyway, is the "field hoe" (or "grub, digging, eye, or azada" hoe available from EasyDigging.com).
Though still heavier than my favorite old hoe, it is, at 2 1/3 pounds, light compared to most hoes. I like the way the blade fastens to the handle.

Malphite Build
Ability Sequence
Malphite Is Not A Tank, why? Well though he is pretty tough he lacks tanking skills, no self heal, no healing on kills, no passive armor-to-damage, etc... even though he has a passive shield, that's situational. I hardly ever see anyone playing Malphite and the builds here are a scarce few, so i decided to add my own.
How To:
Well you'll notice the item build has a few extra items, well there's never a formula, there's not a build that will work always perfectly in every situation, the thing is, everything is situational, if this was all about following a formula and win, we wouldn't be playing it, would we? the one with the best formula wins, hell if your opponents are really weak you don't even need to worry about skills, runes, items or masteries, so hell, always do as you see fit.
The items in here, are just a sketchy line, use them or not. I'll list them here by a random order, just stating their relevance.
The catalyst, good for giving you some health and mana for harassing lane opponents and regain some when you lvl up at early lane skirmishes.
The Hearts of Gold AKA Turtle shells well, optional, provide a bit of armor and a steadier gold income, which is always handy, it's totally optional though. Obviously sell them later for the high-grade items. (and the catalyst unless you get banshee's veil)
The Frozen Heart helps making malphite more of a fierce fighter, harder to put down, as well as slowing enemies a bit when it comes to answering your ultimate.
The boots of mobility, i personally like them, feel free to use any others though. (if you use the teleport summoner spell you don't need them as much, i use exhaust and ignite cause it helps scoring a few kills if well used).
A. The Bloodthirster, Starks Fervor, for damage speed and lifesteal.
B. Banshee's Veil, Force Of Nature, well if you got some serious spellcasters as enemies, go for those.
C. Infinity's Edge and The Black Cleaver, for raw damage.
From those 3 sets, choose 2, or just reinforce one of them, if your team has the upper hand in mid-late game you'll want speed and damage as you'll be (yes) hunting down people, exhaust, boots of mobility, and Seismic shard are... well great tools if you are chasing a lost lamb. (beware traps and ganking though)
Always remember, your passive shield can take some serious damage sometimes but it won't save your sorry butt if you get careless. Careful with stuns snares etc, or get Cleanse instead.
Hope this isn't totally useless, as this is just a fun way to play Malphite opposed to a tank role, have fun.

Governor Deval Patrick announced an array of state budget cuts to help cover a $540 million shortfall Tuesday, including a further reduction in the money local communities use to pay teachers and firefighters.
Patrick said the midyear budget gap is a direct result of the economic uncertainty caused by failed fiscal cliff negotiations, which could trigger federal spending cuts and tax increases at the start of the new year.
The cuts in the $32.5 billion budget, some of which need legislative approval, are expected to have a direct impact on residents. They include cuts of $9 million in local aid, $11 million in special education, $5 million in reimbursements for towns to bus homeless students, and across-the-board reductions in spending on the overburdened court system.
Patrick also said restrictions on state hiring that began in October would result in 700 fewer state workers than the budget projected.
Less than half of the state's shortfall would be closed by withdrawing $200 million from the state's rainy day fund, which is expected to have about $1.2 billion left at the end of the budget year on June 30. The Patrick administration said the state would still have one of the biggest reserve funds in the country.
Municipal leaders vowed to fight the $9 million local aid cut in the Legislature, noting that it comes on the heels of five tough budget years that brought $416 million in cuts. They said that the overall impact of Tuesday's cuts on cities and towns will amount to $37.75 million. In addition, localities face a $20 million cut to the school building fund that was automatically triggered by weaker-than-expected sales tax collections.
Patrick cast the budget situation as serious, but not catastrophic. He said the state faced a gap that was six times larger during the height of the fiscal crunch in 2009. And he said the state would not need to raise taxes to fill the current void. But he continued to warn of a potential tax increase to cover longer-term problems in transportation, which lawmakers are expected to take up in the new year. "We've been here," Patrick said at a news conference in the State House. "We know how to do this."
"I don't think this is draconian," he added. "We are spreading the pain as broadly as possible." Though many programs will be taking small hits, Patrick's budget chief, Jay Gonzalez, said Tuesday that his office would release $20 million to pay for an approximately 2 percent salary increase for 29,000 low-wage human services workers. The workers had been without a raise for five years and have been protesting outside the governor's office. The money for the raise, though previously budgeted, had been frozen while Patrick devised a plan to fix the budget gap.
The state still expects to collect more in tax revenues this budget year than it did in the previous budget year. But a year ago, budget writers, in consultation with economists, pinned their revenue estimates on a more robust economy. They expected an economic growth rate of 3 percent, resulting in nearly $900 million more in tax collections than last year, for a total of $22 billion in tax collections. They are instead seeing a 1.9 percent economic growth rate, and now expect about $381 million more in tax collections than last year.
Patrick on Tuesday renewed his call for a resolution to the budget negotiations in Washington, before automatic cuts and tax increases at the federal level take effect on Jan. 1.
"By all accounts, that uncertainty and resulting slowdown in economic growth is the direct cause of our budget challenges," he said. "The private sector will be unwilling to make the kinds of investments that create jobs, grow state and federal tax revenue collections, and contribute to a lasting economic recovery until Congress and the president come to terms on a solution."
Patrick, a Democrat and an active supporter of President Obama, cited statements from economists and business leaders in asserting that the fiscal cliff negotiations are hampering economic growth. He conceded that the state's November tax collections — tabulated during a time of heightened anxiety over the fiscal cliff — were actually above projections. But he said state economists still believe the year will end with lower collections than originally forecast. And he said that the situation would only worsen — with a loss this year alone of $300 million more in state revenue — if Obama and Congress fail to reach a compromise.
Michael J. Widmer, president of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, said the fiscal cliff is only partly to blame.
"If you look at the recovery, since the bottom of the recession about three years ago, nationally and in Massachusetts, it's been an anemic recovery," said Widmer, whose group is backed by businesses. "But that's not the fiscal cliff. It's been a variety of factors."
He said he did not expect the Legislature to agree to the $9 million local aid cut, given the political wrath they would face from mayors and local officials.
The Massachusetts Municipal Association said it would ask lawmakers to take the $9 million out of the rainy day fund instead of risking losses to school budgets, public safety, and public works projects.
"There's a major question mark looming over every single community's budget," said Geoffrey Beckwith, the association's executive director. "They would have to reopen their budgets and they would wonder, if the governor's granted additional authority, would there be further cuts down the road?"
Mayor Thomas M. Menino's spokeswoman, Dot Joyce, said the cuts announced by Patrick would add up to between $3 million and $5 million for Boston residents. "We certainly understand the Commonwealth's need to cut spending and will work closely with both the Legislature and state partners in the hopes that local aid and special education cuts would be a last resort and not the first option," she said.
Democratic leaders in the House and Senate were noncommittal, releasing a joint statement Tuesday indicating that they plan "to better analyze the effect these cuts would have on the programs and services we provide to the citizens of the Commonwealth."
Republicans were more critical, calling local aid cuts a last resort and blaming Patrick for the sluggish recovery.
Senator Bruce E. Tarr, a Gloucester Republican who serves as minority leader, said in a statement that Patrick "is confronting the harsh reality of a faltering economic recovery."
"Yet it's also a harsh reality that this situation could and should have been addressed by more aggressive action to create a better climate for economic growth," he said, criticizing Patrick for resisting legislative calls for more business tax breaks.Noah Bierman can be reached at email@example.com.

Each cat in your household should have his or her own food and water dishes. The dishes should be shallow and heavy enough to avoid floor movement as your feline eats.read more
BY: Stacey Brecher
Catnip, which is a member of the mint family, is an herb that was originally imported from the Mediterranean. Many cats go crazy for catnip because of the oils present in the stems, leaves and flowers. The chemical is very similar to the odor of a female cat in heat, which explains why male tomcats are most affected by catnip.
Dr. Cathy Lund of City Kitty Veterinary Care for Cats in Providence, RI, explains, "The mint produces a weird, euphoric state, and about 50% of all cats are sensitive to its effects. Catnip is hallucinogenic and narcotic-like, and it acts as a dis-inhibitor, which is why cats get so wacky when they are under its influence."
If your cat is not interested in catnip, don't worry -- genetics actually determine if catnip will affect your cat. "If your cat is one of the 50% of cats who are not sensitive to the herb, then it won't have any appeal whatsoever," Dr. Lund said. "And catnip never affects kittens until they are older than 3 months of age."If your cat is one of those who isn't interested in catnip, there is another natural alternative that your cat may enjoy. "The only naturally-occurring herb that can induce a similar response in the genetically susceptible cats is valerian," says Dr. Lund. "This herb is commonly found in homeopathic relaxation and anti-stress remedies."

ISRA: Talk Of Gun Ban Can't Distract From Rahm Emanuel's Decaying Record On Crime
Jan 01, 2013, 11:50 EST
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Jan. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):
The ISRA has it on good authority that Illinois Senate President John Cullerton is about to introduce a sweeping gun control bill when the Senate returns to its lame duck session later this week. Based on what is known about the proposal, it would result in the banning and confiscation of most privately-owned firearms in the state.
Interestingly, the news of Cullerton's proposed gun ban comes on the heels of a pair of announcements regarding Chicago's crime rate. As 2012 drew to a close, Chicago's homicide tally broke through the 500-mark for the first time in nearly a decade. It was also announced that 2012 saw twice as many bank robberies in Chicago than were recorded in 2011. Those two indictments of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's ability to control his city's crime rate piled on to his already tarnished record including high-profile flash mob attacks against tourists on the Gold Coast, the stabbing of a doctor on the Magnificent Mile, and now almost a dozen shootings as Chicago rang in the new year.
Emanuel's ineffectiveness as a crime fighter is matched only by his inability to establish priorities. While victims 493, 494 and 495 bled out in the streets of his Chicago, Emanuel was busily penning op-ed pieces explaining why he feels it is necessary to take guns away from hunters and sportsmen in Naperville and Mattoon. Emanuel's call to restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens is a desperate attempt to divert attention away from the growing lawlessness on Chicago's streets. Emanuel is fortunate in that he has John Cullerton at his disposal to perpetuate this charade in the Illinois Senate.
"The ISRA is not going to sit idly by while Emanuel and Cullerton trash the rights of law-abiding firearm owners," commented ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson. "We are more than prepared to fight this latest attack in the legislature and, if necessary, in the courts."
The ISRA is the state's leading advocate of safe, lawful and responsible firearms ownership. For more than a century, the ISRA has represented the rights of millions of law-abiding Illinois firearm owners.

I don't see why a young and effective leader should be viewed as either unrealistic or implausible. After all, young leaders were historically quite common; and a number of them were fairly effective as well. For some reason, Alexander springs immediately to mind.

I'd like you to transpose the conclusions that make you think this about Lacus with some evidence behind it...That is all i've ever asked of you on this topic...Give me some children-teenage leaders who have acted in a way to make Lacus' omnipresence seem acceptable...Mind you any name or situation you come up with must equate to Lacus's end-game which is total rightousness and absolute victory...
On a side note I could decide to start talking about this non-existent//existent entity controlled by Lacus called "Terminal" but I don't want to totally reign supreme here^^...

I already gave the example of Alexander - technically, he was 20 when he ascended to the Macedonian throne, but that's little more than a nitpick. If you want more examples, just look at the Manchu child-emperors.
Why must my examples equate to "total rightousness and absolute victory"? After all, Lacus has always had her detractors. The thread is not about how it is impossible for Lacus to accomplish the things she did using the exact methods she used. Rather, it simply is about how it is implausible for someone as young as Lacus to accomplish what she did.
By the way, wingdarkness, what are you trying to get at by saying "omnipresence"?

I don't know why so many people have a grudge against Lacus.
What about Relena from Wing, she was young, she was a political power. She didn't give Heero his pawnzors wing zero gundam but still.
Also when did Lacus become a leader? She was an activist in Seed and turned mediator of Zaft at the end of GSD. She didn't assume any role other than an activist that had the resources to be well... active.
As for Lacus being the leader of the three ships alliance, not true. It was everyone's unanimous agreement to fight (both in Seed and GSD)
"Athrun is Athrun, the worst thing of all is not being able to do anything when you want to do something." <-- no brainwashing here.

@4tran - Well you have commonly expressed your respect for Lacus' character and have even defended alot of stuff I deem non-sensical at best...You want to be able to make the point that young political minded leaders like Lacus exist and have existed many times in history...So if she has a modicum of realism...if she operates in the realm of relating with these young leaders in real societal history, then we must also use or gauge her accomplishments in terms of comparison...these accomplishments IMO based on GSD is "absolute victory" and we all know the one that achieves this gets "the rightousness" aswell (whether it be the pure pink-pixeled kind or the Djbril kind)...Given the circumstances of the C.E. vs the evidence of Lacus' manuvering to accomplish what she did, shouldn't the comparison atleast equate if her actions are as plausible as you deem??

She's less than perfect and more human. She falls in love; her father died- she's been a target of assassination. What sense of perfection do you mean? In wars? She got friends who share her sentiments, heck even those speaches in the eternal- its not from someone who is perfect but someone who is in despair. Lacus is just like everyone else in the 3 ship alliance, she's yearning for a better future and what better way to do it is to do it with your friends.

yeah, my point is she never makes a mistake :P While I hate for other people to call Kira a god or whatever, its really Lacus that made Kira what he is, or at least a major key player. No one has ever said 'no' to her, everyone mysteriously bows down. in CE she can do no wrong. I mean a real human being in Lacus' place would be bitchslapping Meer right now, but even she cries for her o_O She can provide super MSes for anyone who's at her side (wait.. I like super MSes... scratch that)... I mean her walk in PLANT is a direct rip-off from Star Wars (the emperor)...

It's what made Lacus, IMO, less interesting for me to watch. Her relationship with Kira also seems a little one-sided to me, like they only met twice and they already seem like they're having the perfect relationship - I'm not saying that's unreallistic, but I'm saying it's rather boring to watch. She doesn't seem to struggle as much, rarely has problems, the only time I remember seeing her break down was when her father died, but that's it.
At least Cagalli had struggles, problems and even fights, and her relationship with Athrun had flaws, but was at least more interesting to watch just due to the fact that it did have flaws. BTW, I'm not a Cagalli fan either, just for the record.
I don't see why so many people are fascinated with Lacus so much (yes, there are some sad ppl out there), her personality is kinda boring and one-sided good-guy themed, I understand she's a useful plot device, but I don't see anything special, character-wise. There's NOTHING to develop whatsoever. As an audience of a show, I want to see characters WITH FLAWS and good through some decent CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT to OVERCOME THESE FLAWS, for example, Kira lacked the power, but only had his thoughts, his dreams and his will, he was useless, until he finally got Freedom and was able to use this power to do what he desired. Another example is Athrun - this guy had ISSUES coming out of his ass, his father has become a madman and we see him make tough choices aobut deserting his army, etc. etc. and we were interested on seeing what he'll do in the end, etc.
Same thing with Shinn - this guy had major issues and flaws, except the only problem was, the series only half-developed him and didnt really finish off and develop him further and just left him as he was, because everyone wanted more Kira and Lacus fanservice.

err.. Shinn was developed into a darth vader clone
As for bishslapping Meer, that'd be wrong. Meer was a victim of Dullindal/Durandal he used her than when the propaganda was going out of control, sent her away and she died for it (albeit a bit late. ep 48 ). Come on, if someone is claiming to be me and is just being used by someone to get something, then what that someone has no need for it, kills it out of convinience. Ouch.
Meer really thought she was Lacus and well Lacus, accepts that since Meer thought she was doing it for a good cause. gah

I most certainly do not think that Lacus achieved "absolute victory"; I think that taking such a term seriously is a sign of naivety. One simply does not gauge the plausibility of an accomplishment by examining whether a historical action exactly parallels a hypothetical one. Instead, it's better to compare the relative scopes of the accomplishments with the resources available.

That chairman reeks of manipulative power and what better way to have his frontman Shinn be engrossed to him by giving him a brand spanking new suit: Destiny.
The look on Shinn's face everytime he makes a conscious thought about the war is just agonizing. Rey and Dullindal got Shinn on a leash. poor thing.

Although at the top of my head, I can't seem to think of any scene where Lacus made a mistake
As for Darth Shinn ---> so true XD Hey at least Anakin was on the upper hand most of the fight with his mentor

Summer of Eggplant
The actual summer is over, gone, dunzo. This we know. And so, we felt the need to shine a little light on our very own Summer of Eggplant, whose bountiful trail on Food52 spans all seasons. A lighting designer located in Atlanta, GA, here's a cook with particularly identifiable style: like Bouchon, restaurant home to her favorite cookbook, her food is pristinely casual. Her repertoire is chic but accessible (see her recipe for Lettuce Wraps or Maryland Style Boiled Peanuts, pictured above), much like we imagine the cook herself to be.
And her blog of the same name, Summer of Eggplant, confirms our hunch. "A food map of memories," as she charmingly describes it, the blog contains a lovely roll of photographs and entries which narrate her life as noted through food. It makes sense: each of her recipes has a story. Take Tuna Croquetta with Smoked Paprika Aioli, which she invented on the fly for a friend's wedding shower one summer. And her affection for 'overly pampered cheeses' (great turn-of-phrase, no?) further reiterates her signature sensibility. So, to you, Summer of Eggplant, here's to many, many wheels of luxurious fromage.
Read our profile Q&A with Summer of Eggplant below and check out her blog here.
- What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
Gator? Turtle? Ranch flavored crickets?
- What do you cook when home alone?
Tagliatelle, European butter, maldon, pepper, maybe some parm, maybe some parsley.
- Your most treasured kitchen possession:
Boring but true, the food processor.
- Your ideal meal:
Outdoors with good company, good wine, wonderful weather, great food.
- Something you'd like a chance to eat or cook:
Right now all I want is cheese, crazy cheese. A friend gave me a few really awesome cheeses for my birthday and now I just want to eat $20 hunks of overly pampered cheeses. That or I'd love to learn how to cook Indian food authentically.
- The number of bottles of wine you own:
Vacillates between 2-20. It just goes.
- The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
- Kitchen pet peeve:
Dirty or messy, dishes in the sink.
- Your favorite cookbook:
A scrapbook I have put together of favorites. But if it must be actually published then Bouchon.

Horsin' Around: When East Comes West
By Nate Williams Howdy folks! A couple of days ago I was visiting with some friends and we found ourselves discussing some of the consequences of the East comin' out West. I know some of ya are probably wandering where I'm going with this, so I will share a story with you. A couple of years back I was working on a ranch out in Wyoming. It was nestled against a large rim and was a pretty nice place. A guy from out east decided that just what he needed was a nice, big, Wyoming ranch, and folks, that is just what he bought. Now he was nice guy, but being a golf course developer doesn't offer a lot of cowboy expertise. I will never forget the first time I met him. He stood about six and half foot tall and was built like a linebacker. My first thought was that he must have pretty large seats and extra head room built into his private jet that he flew into Lander on. He looked like he stepped straight out of a Sheplers catalog. He had a brand new hat on that needed a little bit of shaping, a kerchief around his neck, and wool vest, which would explain his profuse sweating on that 95 degree summer day. The wardrobe came to an end with some of the fanciest snake skin boots that I had ever seen, complete with a gleaming pair of spurs that I was pretty sure had never touched horse hide. I guess that Cadillac that he was ridin' needed a little persuasion to hit the desired gait. That day was a special day though, he was going out with us to move some cows. He hadn't rode a horse since he was a youngster and was pretty excited about it. So we helped him get his mount saddled, a half-draft that he had named Tiny. He had bought Tiny from a local horse trader because he was worried that none of the "regular sized horses" on the ranch would be able to carry his large build. The horse trader promised the ranch owner that Tiny was just the horse he needed. Off we went through the hills and we got the critters gathered and headed to our destination. Along the way, for reasons that none of the ranch hands could see, the owner decided that he needed to rope this bull. As we questioned his motives, he was building a loop. "He's moving to slow." was the response we got back for our questions. Brian was riding along side of me and put money on the bet that he would miss anyway. The New Yorker twirled his string three or four times and to our surprise and probably more to our horror, the loop slipped right over the bull's pole. Time kinda stood still there for a second or two and he had a look of pure amazement, followed by a look of pure fear. Half of us were yelling for him to throw the rope and we would get it back for him. The other half was tellin' him to go to the horn. Well some where during that time that ole' bull came to the realization that he had been caught. He took off runnin' and the owner held tight to the rope, which pulled him forward and he gave Tiny a good jab in the side with those sharp spurs. Tiny didn't care for that at all and he proceeded to work at getting those spurs out of his side. That big horse got with it and catapulted the big golf course developer through the air and planted him like a lawn dart. Tiny didn't get rode back to the barn that day. He got led by a big feller wearing new snake skin boots. The bull got a double dose of ropin' practice that day to retrieve the first rope. Not too long after the rodeo that day, Tiny found a new home, and you won't find to many cows or horses out on that ranch either. But, if you pay him enough money you can go out and shoot one of his trophy bull elk, then pack it back on one of his quads. Folks, thanks for readin' along this week. Until next time, so long.

No wonder poor Edward was hiding in Bella's, what a relief to just listen to somebody talking in their sleep, compared to all the disturbing visuals and sounds coming from his house.
I still wonder if vampire baking is extra loud?...Collisions between vamps playing baseball certainly were descibed as noisy. I know baking is not exactly a collision, but it is certainly a contact sport?!!
Excellent point, Monti! And yes, I believe it must have been very loud indeed, as I think it was Emmett (or Edward?) who mentioned that Emmett and Rosalie destroyed many houses in their first trysts. So that alone would be loud, but the banging of marble bodies...yes, that too would be loud!

For a short period of time, one stands slightly above the rest. The tallest block on the podium reserved for the athlete who performed better than everyone else in the field. Athletes around the world strive to reach that goal, bow to receive their medal, and soak in the view from the top.
Texas Tech senior jumper Bryce Lamb knows the view well. It's the same view he took in twice in the past three months, first in March as the NCAA National Champion for indoor triple jump, and again in May as the Big 12 outdoor long jump champion.
"Its amazing," Lamb said. "It's been a great season, and I have been able to capitalize on a lot of things, and come out with two championships, and hopefully get two more."
Along with winning multiple championships, Lamb has been tearing through the Texas Tech record books, holding school records in Outdoor Long Jump, Indoor Long Jump, and Indoor Triple Jump.
"My goal was to go to nationals and become an All-American," Lamb said. "But to also get those school and personal records so that when I leave, people will say he was a great guy and one of the best we've had here [at Tech]."
Texas Tech track and field coach Wes Kittley credits the goal accomplished.
"There haven't been a lot of seniors who are leaders and have been there and done it like he has." Kittley said.
Kittley believes a big reason for Lamb's success is his health. Throughout the period of Lamb's time at Tech, nagging injuries have been a major factor keeping him from realizing his full potential, most notably last outdoor season. Those injuries are gone now.
"He's healthier than he's ever been, and that's been probably the biggest difference for him," Kittley said. "We've never been able to work him like we've wanted to in the spring, but this year has been different. We're just so thankful that he stayed healthy and performed like we always knew he could."
Kittley further credits Lamb's success to not only physical talent, but also the intangibles.
"He's a very talented athlete," Kittley said. "But he knows he is the best jumper in the field, and he has had the opportunity to go get it done."
That confidence is contagious, and it has filtered through to the rest of the team.
"It gives the team confidence that Bryce is leading us," Kittley said. "When you have a national champion on your team, it just gives everyone a different perspective, and he is able to carry that for the team."
Lamb welcomes that role, and looks to make an impact with the younger Red Raiders.
"It's great to have seniors because every year there are going to be freshman, and having seniors of both sorts (four-year and transfers), it shows the younger guys what they should strive for," Lamb said. "We made nationals last year, and it shows younger guys and recruits that they can get there too, and do better."
Lamb went on to note the relationship between improving the individual and improving the team.
"Its tough because [track and field] being an individual-team sport, you want to do well for your team," Lamb said. "But you know that if you better yourself, it will always benefit the team."
Success has translated, with the Men and Lady Red Raiders being ranked 16th and 20th in the nation, respectively. The men finished third in the Big 12 conference championships, led by Lamb's first placed jump. Lamb isn't resting on his title, however.
"Those records help drive you to say, 'this year I jumped this far, but next year I want to jump farther,' and that's what we all look forward too," Lamb said.
The rest of the track and field world is taking notice. Following the Big 12 conference meet, Lamb is ranked No. 1 in the long jump and No. 4 in the triple jump, both in the west region.
Lamb is a six-time All-American, three-time Big 12 Champion, and a national champion, while holding three school records.
"I'm just trying to put my stamp on it," Lamb said.
Consider it stamped.

K-State junior shortstop Tanner Witt never imagined that lifting weights during his high school offseason would lead to the scary discovery of a blood clot and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. He didn't know that at the age of 17 he was going to be faced with a decision that could change his life.
Witt's major vein in his upper chest was being restricted where the rib and collarbone intersected. He also had a two inch blood clot around the same area. When Witt was diagnosed he was given two options: chose to have the blood clot removed through an extensive procedure or take blood thinners for the rest of his life, which would lead to never playing a contact sport again.
Witt did not hesitate when making his decision. He would have the surgery.
"I knew that getting the surgery was the right thing for me. I didn't want to do pills and get shots that wasn't fun I knew what I had to do." said Witt.
His family was behind Witt's decision and wanted to do anything that would keep healthy, but would give him a chance to play baseball again.
"There was never any question. He never wavered when he was told he had two choices. Tanner looked the doctor in the eye and said he would be at the hospital at 6 a.m. the next morning for the surgery." said Witt's mother, Lorrie.
Dr. Robert Thompson, one of the leading TOS surgeons in the country, would be doing the surgery. The surgery would be 10 hours long and included the doctor removing two muscles from his neck, removing the top rib, doing a three vein bypass and attaching the artery to vein on his right wrist to increase blood flow to the heart. Witt had to stay in intensive care for a week and in the hospital for a week after.
Witt trusted in Thompson, who had done the procedures for prominent names such as Dave McKay, the first base coach of the Chicago Cubs. To help put Witt more at ease, Thompson arranged for McKay to meet with Witt after the surgery. In their meeting they discussed what McKay had gone through and how he dealt with his son going through injuries in high school. It gave Witt hope through his rehab and recovery. After three months of recovery he would be cleared for any sport. Throughout this time prayer and faith was very important to the Witt family.
Staying motivated throughout his recovery didn't come hard for Witt. He believed that he would play again to his full potential. He also wanted to stay strong to be able to play in college. He started to come back to the game slowly by trying to develop skills little by little after his recovery. Witt's father, Tommy Witt, was a strong influence on him and his positivity.
"Once I found out how successful Dr. Thompson's surgeries had been on other athletes I was able to honestly encourage Tanner," said Tommy Witt. "I tried to let him know that God had led him to Dr. Thompson. He had done the surgery. He now had to fight the mental monsters of rehab and sitting on the bench in his uniform while his state ranked team played without him. I told him how important it was for him to be part of the team and encourage his teammates."
Missing most of his junior year and summer season of baseball, Witt knew that he had missed important meetings with college recruiters. He was still hopeful that when he came back to the game he would be recruited. It was important for him to play for someone who knew his abilities before the surgery and understood all he went through.
That is how Witt found a home at K-State.
K-State baseball coach Brad Hill knew Witt was on people's radars early. He saw the courage he showed the surgery and recovery. Hill and his staff believed he would be a great competitor, multifaceted, and an asset to K-State.
"He is what you define as a baseball player, the toughness of the kid; to be able to bounce back like that he is tough," said Hill.
Presently at K-State, Witt is known as a leader of the team and tries to help his teammates through tough times.
"He is really maturing as a baseball player, but he is a spark plug for us. He plays many positions and he is one of those guys we look to for spark and energy," said Hill.
Witt is looking forward to the future, hoping that baseball will be in the works for the long run.
"I don't take anything for granted when a lot of my junior year, the most important year of baseball, was taken away. It was a reality check. Now I just keep playing one day at a time," said Witt.
