Vince Young, the Eagles' backup quarterback last year, sees himself as a starting quarterback and he credits Andy Reid for that confidence.
Young says he asked Reid about returning to the Eagles for next season, but Reid told him he should try to be a starter somewhere. Obviously, that was not going to be the case with the Birds.
"I asked Andy, 'could I be part of the team again?' He was like 'I would love for you to stay here but you're not a backup quarterback' so when I heard the big guy, big red, say that it showed me more confidence and more respect that he had for me when he said he wanted to see me somewhere playing," Young told KILT radio in Houston, according to sportsradiointerviews.com. "I can truly understand that and they wanted to give Mike Kafka a little more of a chance to go out and compete and backup up Mike Vick but basically he didn't see me backing up again. He felt like I should be starting somewhere and playing so that's just the respect he had for me and saw the hard work that I put in to get better as quarterback last year with those guys."
Young appeared in six games for the Eagles, starting three. He had four TDs, nine interceptions and was sacked eight times, but did lead the Eagles to a win over the Giants late in the season.
He now is waiting for an opportunity with another team after the draft.
"We have a couple of teams with interest right now and I'm just sitting back and waiting and letting my agent, Tom Condon, do his work," he said. "Pretty much just waiting till after the draft with the new CBA rule, all the different cap rules and things like that, just looking for the best opportunity for myself, my family and for me to go out and compete for a starting job."
Young's tenure in Philadelphia, though, likely will be summed up in two words, "Dream Team."
"Everybody keeps putting it in the wrong sequence," Young insisted. "I didn't say 'Dream Team' like 'Dream Team.' It's like you are dreaming, like me and you dream about eating a nice burger or something, put it in those terms and just more so the respect that I have for the players from (Dominique Rodgers) Cromartie, from Nnamdi (Asomugha), to Mike Vick and the players that we had around. I was just feeling very respectful towards those guys and that's what I meant by that situation."

Huskies thump Riverside Prep, 49-8, in first victory of the season
For the Mammoth Huskies, turnabout is fair play.
After suffering four straight losses to start the season—three by blowout—the Huskies on Friday, Sept. 21, turned the tables on Riverside Prep, 49-8 at Gault/McClure Stadium in Mammoth.
The game was a rout from the start. The Huskies put up 21 points in each of the first two quarters, added seven seven more in the third and finally let up in a scoreless fourth quarter.
Riverside Prep, this year a conference opponent, got on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, when the game was well out of hand.
Senior running back Tyler Wormhoudt, scored four touchdowns for the Huskies, rushed for 218 yards on 23 carries, and added one completed pass in a brief stint at quarterback, good for 12 yards.
Alex Hamilton, meanwhile, scored three touchdowns, carried the ball just four times but picked up 59 yards, one on a 40-yard scamper in Mammoth's longest rushing play of the game.
On the defensive side of the ball, Wormhoudt and Ricky Alex Hamilton teamed up for five tackles apiece, joining junior Nick Damico, who also had five tackles.

Starkville Reads sets 'Three Cups of Tea' discussion
This Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Starkville Public Library, Starkville Reads will sponsor a discussion of Greg Mortenson's acclaimed best-seller "Three Cups of Tea."
The discussion will be led by Dr. Michael Kardos, assistant professor in the MSU English Department and a published fiction writer.
The discussion will focus not only on the subject matter of the book — Mortenson's successful attempts to build schools in remote mountain areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan— but also on the book's themes, characters, and settings.
This discussion will be interactive, so you are encouraged to bring your copies of the book and plan to join in. Those who have not yet read or completed the book are encouraged to attend.
Kardos received graduated cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree in music from Princeton University, a master of fine arts degree in creative writing from the Ohio State University, and a doctoral degree in English from the University of Missouri.
He joined the faculty of the MSU English Department in 2007, where he teaches creative writing as well as courses in the American short story, the craft of fiction and advanced composition. He is co-director of the creative writing program in the MSU English Department.
His short stories have appeared widely in such publications as Fiction International, Prairie Schooner, The Southern Review and Short Story.
His story "Perfect Cake," originally published in 2007, will be included in the 2010 MSR Short Fiction Anthology to be published later this year.
A collection of short stories entitled "One Last Good Time: Stories" is forthcoming in 2011. He has also published essays and book reviews.
Kardos has received many awards, including being a finalist in the 2009 Iowa Short Fiction Award, in the Flannery O'Connor Award in 2007, and the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in 2007 and receiving first place Fiction Prize four times from the University of Missouri.
Kardos is currently the editor of the MSU English Department's Jabberwock Review, which publishes outstanding student work, and has served as guest editor and associate editor for journals such as Crazyhorse and The Journal.
He has also given numerous readings of his work and currently is one of three judges for the MSU Maroon Edition's Essay Contest.
In September 2007, he was a panelist for Starkville Reads' Program entitled "So You Want to Write?"
Nancy Hargrove, president of Starkville Reads and one of Michael's colleagues in the English Department before her retirement, said "Mike is a not only a very gifted writer of short fiction but also an engaging speaker who will skillfully lead the audience through an enlightening discussion of the book."
Hargrove said she encourages those with an interest in this impressive book to attend the program, whether or not they were able to attend Shaz Akram's program on the culture of Pakistan and Afghanistan, noting that her program and Kardos's discussion of the book provide a great background for Greg Mortenson's talk on the Mississippi State campus on Sept. 23.
Those wishing to contribute to Starkville Reads, a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to promoting books and reading in the Starkville community and surrounding areas, may mail a tax deductible check to Starkville Reads, P.O. Box 80100, Starkville, MS 39759 or bring it to the September 14 program.

The TRCP and other sportsmen's groups long have urged the EPA to exercise its authority, granted by section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act, to restrict the level of impact allowed on water quality and fish and wildlife populations from dredge and fill material or other harmful, large-scale mining activities in the Bristol Bay watershed. The EPA decision reflects the unique resources found in the watershed and follows overwhelming opposition to the Pebble Mine, with more than 850,000 public comments requesting protection of the southwestern Alaska region. Sportsmen roundly praised the EPA's announcement. "The global hunting and angling community has worked to protect Bristol Bay from the threat of the proposed Pebble Mine for years," said Scott Hed, director of the Sportsman's Alliance for Alaska. "Today's news that EPA is initiating a process under the Clean Water Act that could lead to Bristol Bay's protection is welcomed by more than 1,000 sporting organizations and businesses and millions of sportsmen and women, ranging from catch-and-release anglers and bi- game hunters to makers of fly fishing gear and firearms. "The sporting community is united in this fight," Hed said, "and will continue to engage in this issue to ensure that one of the planet's premier sport fishing and hunting destinations is permanently protected. Some places are just too valuable to be compromised; Bristol Bay is one of these places." The Dallas Safari Club, whose mission includes conservation, education and protection of hunters' rights, also spoke favorably of the EPA decision. "The Dallas Safari Club is glad to see that southwest Alaska's Bristol Bay region, one of the great fisheries of the world, will be protected for the enjoyment of the sportsmen of the future," DSC Executive Director Ben Carter said. Tucker Ladd, chairman of the American Fly Fishing Trade Association, weighed in as well. "AFFTA is thrilled that the EPA has taken this step toward preserving the incredible resource that Bristol Bay represents," he said. "Conservation of this fishery is crucial to our members – not only as anglers, but as businesses that will rely on the resource over the long term." Bristol Bay is a place of internationally recognized importance for fish, wildlife and sportsmen. The area's lakes and streams host all five species of Pacific salmon, including the largest run of sockeye salmon in the world, as well as trophy rainbow trout. Moose, caribou, brown and black bear and waterfowl also populate the region. "The EPA's action to conserve Bristol Bay's incomparable fish and wildlife resources – and its unmatched fishing and hunting opportunities – from the dangers of the Pebble Mine demonstrates not only the unique value of this region but acknowledges the overwhelming public support for conserving the area," TRCP President and CEO Whit Fosburgh said. "Sportsmen commend the EPA for its decision, which will help sustain Bristol Bay's natural resources, outdoor heritage and economy well into the future." Commercial fishing in the Bristol Bay region generates $450 million and recreational fishing generates $160 million to the Alaska economy every year. The area's commercial fishery is the most valuable salmon fishery in the world, providing 30 percent of all Alaskan salmon harvest and 52 percent of all private sector jobs in the region. The proposed Pebble Mine Complex would cover 54.5 square miles and could produce as much as 10 billion tons of mine waste that would have to be treated and stored in perpetuity.

Maureen Dowd's Next Step
Having confessed to lifting copy, the New York Times' columnist almost sets things right.
That New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd plagiarized Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo cannot be denied.
As a reader/blogger on Talking Points Memo's community site discovered yesterday (May 17), Dowd's May 17 column pinched about 40 words from one of Marshall's online posts without attribution. * (Dowd's column has since been updated and corrected.)
In correspondence with the Huffington Post and Politicoafter the lifted passage was pointed out, Dowd suggested she had been talking and e-mailing with a friend about the topic of her column, mistook Marshall's passage for her friend's work, and used it in her column. It's unclear whether Marshall's work ended up in Dowd's column because she took near-perfect notes of the conversation with the unnamed friend or because she cut and pasted from the friend's e-mail.
Bad, Dowd, bad—deserving of hard time in a pillory! Still, that said, Dowd has done several things accused plagiarists rarely do when apprehended, and for that, I commend her. For example:
- She responded promptly to the charge of plagiarism when confronted by the Huffington Post and Politico. (Many plagiarists go into hiding or deny getting material from other sources.)
- She and her paper quickly amended her column and published a correction (although the correction is a little soft for my taste).
- Her explanation of how the plagiarism happened seems plausible—if a tad incomplete.
- She's not yet used the explanation as an excuse, nor has she said it's "time to move on."
- She'snotyetprotested that her lifting wasn't plagiarism.
- She's taking her lumps and not whining about it.
The fourth and fifth points are, for me, key. Many a plagiarist in the past has blamed his theft on over-work, a sick child at home, alcohol use, mental illness, workplace harassment, or a dying parent in the hospice. Others have blamed the sticky cut-and-paste function of their word processors or claimed the words that they copied weren't that unique, so what's the big deal? Or they've appealed for a get-out-of-pillory-free card because they didn't deliberately copy that passage.
Dowd isn't offering any of these cop-outs. I hope I'm not reading too much into her fragmentary responses, but she appears to understand that neither carelessness nor intent constitutes a plagiarism defense. Compare Dowd's early behavior with that of Doris Kearns Goodwin, who has repeatedly sought to evade responsibility for her plagiarism. In this excellent piece, Slate's Timothy Noah demolishes the historians and authors who wrote a feeble letter to the New York Times in an attempt to exonerate Goodwin. (I've collected Noah's fine work on Goodwin and plagiarism here.)
Although Dowd is catching sweet hell from her press colleagues today, the journalism profession turns out to be far more forgiving of plagiarism and plagiarists than they'd have you believe. As Trudy Lieberman reported brilliantly for the Columbia Journalism Review in 1995, "Punishment [for plagiarism] is uneven, ranging from severe to virtually nothing even for major offenses. The sin itself carries neither public humiliation nor the mark of Cain. Some editors will keep a plagiarist on staff or will knowingly hire one if talent outweighs the infraction."
Right now, I suspect that, more than anything, Dowd wants the whole mess to disappear. Even though she has a reputation for routinely crediting others in her columns—a point Dan Kennedy makes today in his critical Guardian column—that doesn't really matter. As long as she's in the business, somebody will be taunting her about it. The best and perhaps only way for Dowd to set things right will be to proceed directly to Step 7 and tell her readers in detail how she came to commit this transgression. According to the Times schedule, her next column will run Wednesday. I hope to read it there.
Addendum, May 20: Dowd didn't write about the plagiarism incident.
Strange how the wheel of justice turns. Maureen Dowd exposed Joe Biden as a plagiarist in 1987. His deferred sentence? The vice presidency. But after they parole Joe, they're still going to make him read my Twitter hourly and send e-mail to me at firstname.lastname@example.com daily. (E-mail may be quoted by name in "The Fray," Slate's readers' forum; in a future article; or elsewhere unless the writer stipulates otherwise. Permanent disclosure: Slate is owned by the Washington Post Co.)
Track my errors: This hand-built RSS feed will ring every time Slate runs a "Press Box" correction. For e-mail notification of errors in this specific column, type the word Dowd in the subject head of an e-mail message, and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Correction, May 18, 2009: This article originally attributed the discovery of the Dowd plagiarism to Talking Points Memo. The discovery was made by a reader/blogger posting at the site's community site, tpmcafe.com. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

People who are high-functioning alcoholics do not fit stereotypes about alcohol use disorder , so their loved ones may fail to see a problem. Since they fulfill career and social obligations, whether they are intoxicated at the time or they drink too much later, they are still perceived to be "normal." In fact, friends may jokingly approve of their high tolerance for alcohol during social situations.
The media dramatically portrays a "eureka" moment for characters in narratives who struggle with alcohol or drug addiction. This moment often comes after the person has binged and blacked out, perhaps even woken up in the hospital, and realizes the extent of their problem. This narrative structure exists to show a "rock bottom" moment, often without any lasting consequences to the character, that prompts them to make a change. Some people who struggle with alcohol use disorder do hit rock bottom; they lose their jobs, their relationships, or their health. They may wake up in the hospital after suffering from serious alcohol poisoning. A person who is a high-functioning alcoholic may not have this moment, but they may still realize that they have a serious problem with drinking too much.
Those who fit the may not miss work, school, family events, or social events that often, but they may skip these responsibilities a few times because of a hangover or because they would rather drink alone. They may also begin to display other symptoms that fit the criteria for alcohol use disorder, including:
It can help to get a doctor involved, either prior to an intervention or after the event if the person didn't agree to get treatment. Chronic issues from heavy drinking may be beginning for the person, and issues can be measured with a CT scan, blood tests for B12 (thiamine) levels, or tests for abnormal liver functioning. With scientific evidence, the person may realize that they need medical help. The doctor may speak with the person about how excessive alcohol consumption causes these issues and how quitting can reverse or lessen the problem.
Additionally, setting clear boundaries with the person may help send a message that they have a drinking problem. A romantic partner, for example, may refuse to spend time with the individual if they have been drinking or may end the relationship until the person gets help.
Fortunately, there are , ensuring the individual stays safe and comfortable throughout the process. They should then continue into a rehabilitation program to address the issues associated with alcohol abuse. Finding resources in advance, like a rehabilitation program that fits the needs and personality of the high-functioning alcoholic, can also help them make the choice to overcome their addiction.
An intervention gives friends and family members a platform to express their concern for their loved one's drinking; however, it is important to avoid focusing on the pain the person has caused their social circle and instead focus on the fact that they can overcome the problem. A good way to start finding resources is to use the or an interventionist via the .
Repartnering or remarrying can bring in additional levels of conflict and anger into their home environment. One of the reasons that re-partnering causes addition stress is because of the lack of clarity in roles and relationships; the child may not know how to react and behave with this new "parent" figure in their life. In most cases, bringing in a new partner/spouse will be the most stressful when done shortly after the divorce. In the past, divorce had been viewed as a "single event", but now research shows that divorce encompasses multiple changes and challenges.

It is not only internal factors that allow for resiliency, but the external factors in the environment are critical for responding to the situation and adapting. Certain programs such as the 14-week Children's Support Group and the Children of Divorce Intervention Program may help a child cope with the changes that occur from a divorce. [85]
Resilience after a natural disaster can be gauged in a number of different ways. It can be gauged on an individual level, a community level, and on a physical level. The first level, the individual level, can be defined as each independent person in the community. The second level, the community level, can be defined as all those inhabiting the locality affected. Lastly, the physical level can be defined as the infrastructure of the locality affected. [86]
UNESCAP funded research on how communities show resiliency in the wake of natural disasters. [87] They found that, physically, communities were more resilient if they banded together and made resiliency an effort of the whole community. [87] Social support is key in resilient behavior, and especially the ability to pool resources. [87] In pooling social, natural, and economic resources, they found that communities were more resilient and able to over come disasters much faster than communities with an individualistic mindset. [87]
The World Economic Forum met in 2014 to discuss resiliency after natural disasters. They conclude that countries that are more economically sound, and have more individuals with the ability to diversify their livelihoods, will show higher levels of resiliency. [88] This has not been studied in depth yet, but the ideas brought about through this forum appear to be fairly consistent with already existing research. [88]
Little research has been done on the topic of family resilience in the wake of the death of a family member.
Traditionally, clinical attention to bereavement has focused on the individual mourning process rather than on those of the family unit as a whole. Resiliency is distinguished from recovery as the "ability to maintain a stable equilibrium"
which is conducive to balance, harmony, and recovery. Families must learn to manage familial distortions caused by the death of the family member, which can be done by reorganizing relationships and changing patterns of functioning to adapt to their new situation.
Exhibiting resilience in the wake of trauma can successfully traverse the bereavement process without long-term negative consequences.

Set menus (menú del migdia) Most restaurants (and some bars) offer a menú del migdia (menu of the day), which usually means a simple and unpretentious two course meal (one salad, main dish and a drink; plus a dessert sometimes), 3 or 4 options each, with a drink and a dessert, for €8 to €20, depending on the restaurant. Depending on the restaurant, the portions may be quite generous, or rather small. During the week, some smart restaurants offer lunch specials from 14:00 to 16:00. The savvy traveler will try the hip places for a fraction of the price during the day.
If you're looking for a place where everyone can choose their own meal, ask for restaurants that serve platos combinados , which is the closest thing to an American/Northern European meal.
Smoking: Is not permitted in restaurants anymore.
You can get food from any part of the world in Barcelona, but make sure you try some Catalan food.
See Catalan cuisine section in the Catalonia article .
The selection of seafood is consistently great, although not a lot of it is local (this part of the Mediterranean is pretty well fished-out).
A treat to try that no travel guide mentions is waffles sold at street stands. They will tempt you with their mouth watering smell and taste.
Even though tapa restaurants are now endemic all over the city, tapas originated in Andalusia in the south of Spain, and are a way to share food between friends. Each Spanish region has its typical tapas, being Catalonia the region where the first cooking book was written in Spain and where signature tapas do exist, and are delicious. Some Catalans eat a more French style three course meal (appetizer, main dish and dessert) and would more likely go for a pre-meal beer/vermouth and some snacks (olives, chips, etc.), and as well others go for a meal consisting entirely of tapas. This pre-meal snack is actually called 'fer el vermut' or 'making the vermouth'. As you travel to smaller towns in Catalonia outside of Barcelona, it is less likely that you will find tapas and more likely to see restaurants serving traditional Catalan food in three courses.
Beyond Catalan food, there is no shortage of
stands in Barcelona, offering tasty beef or chicken and salad in toasted flatbread for around €3.50. Gyros are delicious! You can also consider the
selection, with a lot of Chinese, Japanese and Indian restaurants. As with anywhere else, there are plenty of
Phoenix Belt in Black size M also in LS BLow The Belt X6cl8ac
restaurants, while Latin American offerings, particularly Argentine and Mexican , are well-represented too.
If you feel lost in the variety of food choices there are - Catalan, Basque, Spanish, and beyond, it may be helpful to do a food tour to quickly get oriented. Many independent tour operators run food and wine tours in the city.

Lightning waste what could've been a special day.
Ben Bishop allowed 5 goals on 32 shots for the loss. I thought he might want the last goal back, although it was apparently slightly deflected. Still, it was a long lazy point shot that he saw all the way in, and it highlighted the weakness in Bishop's game. That's why it's so imperative for the Lightning to block point shots for their netminder: he struggles on shots from distance. It was a rare game where I thought Bishop pulled a Lindback: he wasn't the reason they lost but he wasn't good enough to be a reason they won, either.
First Period
9:46 SJ Nieto (4), (Marleau, Wingels)
11:56 TB St Louis (22), (Johnson, Purcell)(PP)
12:52 SJ Marleau (21), (Nieto, Wingels)
15:44 TB St Louis (23), (Cote, Bishop)
19:30 TB St Louis (24), (Brown, Barberio)
Second Period
2:07 TB St Louis (25), (Purcell, Johnson)(PP)
12:48 SJ Pavelski (23), (Kennedy, Demers)
13:09 SJ Pavelski (24), (Boyle, Marleau)(PP)
19:00 SJ Pavelski (25), (Irwin, Thornton)
Third Period
Martin St. Louis was the game's first star. I think the Lightning, like their fans, got caught up in the moment with Marty matching Chris Kontos' record for goals in a game. Hopefully they gained a valuable lesson from it: San Jose didn't panic falling behind and simplified their game. They kept playing hard, used face-offs to leverage some more possession, and got pucks to the net. And, once they got the lead with 1 minute to go in the Third Period, they completely changed up their style to protect it. The Lightning got, maybe, 3 chances the rest of the way including a glorious opportunity by Martin St. Louis walking out of the corner that he shot wide. When he missed that chance, I had a sick feeling that was going to be the game. I wasn't wrong.
If you're looking for moral victories, the Lightning certainly showed how much they've improved since they got blown out in San Jose on that disastrous West Coast swing after the Stamkos injury. There is no column in the standings for moral victories, though, and today's loss guaranteed the team won't get 12 points out of this 5th 10 game segment of the season. They're fortunate they had 4 insurance points stored up, so they're still in good shape with 1 more game to go until segment #6, but mark my words: this is the most important 10-12 game stretch of the regular season coming up for the Lightning. They have another 7 or so games until Stamkos is likely to return and another 4-5 games of adjustment once he does. If they continue to leave points on the ice like they've done over the last 4-5 games, they will make things a lot harder for themselves in March and April. Now is the time to focus and nail down points, more than ever.
Mark Barberio had an assist and was +1 with 1 hot and 1 blocked shot in 17:04. Bookmark it: that was Barberio's best game in a Lightning jersey. He did well getting the puck up and out of his zone quickly and there were moments he seemed to be everywhere in the offensive half of the ice, including assisting on Marty's third goal. It's no coincidence his ice time shot up to over 17 minutes today. It was deserved.
J.P. Cote had an assist, 7 penalty minutes, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 6:47. He assisted on Marty's second goal on a bank pass/clear hard up the boards to spring a breakaway and he fought Andrew Desjardins after Desjardins boarded Alex Killorn in the Third Period. So, I'd call it a productive 6:47.
J.T. Brown had an assist and 2 shots, 2 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 12:28. Dirty secret: I'm kind of certain that Marty's 3rd goal should've gone to J.T.
Richard Panik had 2 shots and 1 hit in 11:22. He had a good shift in the Second Period with the Lightning pressing to gain a 3 goal lead, but as the game kept tightening up his ice time kept getting trimmed back. With Sustr being sent to Syracuse, Panik looks like he'll be the last mid-season graduation from prospect status on the site, and that could happen as early as Thursday against Ottawa.
Nikita Kucherov was -1 with 4 shots and 2 blocked shots in 16:20. He has become one of Cooper's go-to's in tight games where he needs a goal, and deservedly so.

Museum Exhibit to Focus on Folk
Does anyone in Valley City remember the tale of the trucker who, when traveling east on I-94 through a snowstorm, gave a ride to the ghost of a dead girl who died in a blizzard?
Or can anyone in Fort Ransom recall the tale of "Beaver the Hermit," who was framed for a murder he did not commit but managed to elude the Sheriff and his posse by hiding out in the Sheyenne River Valley?
These are just two tales in the award-winning book "Sundogs and Sunflowers: Folklore and Folk Art of the Northern Great Plains." An exhibit based on the book will begin showing at the Barnes County Museum today.
"The book is an interesting synopsis of North Dakota Culture," said museum curator Wes Anderson. "The exhibit is arranged somewhat as it is here (in the book)."
The book, a 352 page compilation that took 30 years to complete, was published by the North Dakota Council on the Arts (NDCA) last year and has won the North Dakota Library Association's 2011 Notable Document Award.
The book's 10 chapters focus on ghost stories and strange tales; old and new legends; blizzard stories; weather lore; proverbs, folk expressions and folk speech; folk beliefs; folk medicine; holiday celebrations and other observances; hunting fishing and trapping traditions; and miscellaneous folk lore. The majority of the 1,000-plus entries in the book are from North Dakota, with a scattered handful of entries from surrounding states and provinces. Every North Dakota county is represented.
The 32-panel exhibit features items from all 10 chapters and the exhibit is sponsored by the NDCA. Admission is free, and the exhibit runs from Sept. 1 to Sept. 16.

Squeeze ¾ tube of the red frosting into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and microwave on high in 7 second intervals, stirring between intervals, until smooth and somewhat liquid. (Add more water if necessary)
Working with 1 rod at a time, completely coat 3 rods in the red melted frosting by spooning the frosting over the rod. Let any excess frosting drip back into the bowl. Immediately sprinkle the red sugar all over the coated rods. Repeat for other 2 rods. Place rod on wax paper to cool.
Working with 1 rod at a time, coat one half of 3 more rods with the red melted frosting; repeat the process for the sugar; place on wax paper to cool.
Squeeze ¾ tube of the white frosting into a micro-wave-safe bowl; repeat step #2 using only 2 rods and white sugar.
Using 2 more rods, coat one half of each with the melted white frosting and sprinkling with the white sugar; place on wax paper to cool.
When the half coated red rods and white rods are completely cool, melt ½ tube of blue frosting following step #1 – adding water if needed. Coat the unfrosted sides of each of the 5 half-coated rods with the melted blue frosting, sprinkling with blue sugar crystals. Then, place the rods in a flag pattern on a serving platter; using the white frosting with a star tip, pipe little stars on the blue portion of the rods, or use your favorite sugar decors.

A company that recently acquired a Gainesville plant that manufactures medical needles is closing the plant and moving production to its facility in Athens, Texas, eliminating 111 local jobs.
A company that recently acquired a Gainesville plant that manufactures medical needles is closing the plant and moving production to its facility in Athens, Texas, eliminating 111 local jobs.
Argon Medical Devices, based in Plano, Texas, acquired the plant in April as part of a $363 million purchase of Vancouver, British Columbia-based Angiotech Pharmaceuticals' Interventional Products Business that makes biopsy products.
Argon officials told local employees about the decision at a June 4 meeting at the Gainesville plant, according to a written statement from Argon. The company filed the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification required of large layoffs on Monday.
The move will happen gradually over seven to 10 months, the company said.
Further questions were referred to Bill Morgan, vice president of operations, who was unavailable for comment Tuesday.
The local plant started in Gainesville in 1986 as Medical Device Technologies, or MD Tech, as a subsidiary of Niles, Mich.-based National Standard Inc. One of its first products was a needle for breast tumor biopsies developed by a Shands Hospital physician.
In 1990, MD Tech was purchased by The Marman Group of Chicago and soon after merged with Manan Medical Products.
In 1998, MD Tech built a $2.5 million, 43,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at 3600 SW 47th Ave., behind the 34th Avenue Post Office, where it continues to operate for the time being.
Manan and MD Tech were acquired in 2003 along with other companies by American Medical Instruments Holdings, which was run by what would later become Argon's management team. AMIH investor RoundTable Healthcare Partners created the Interventional Products Business and sold it to Angiotech in 2006. The division had $101.6 million in revenue in 2012.
Argon, which is a portfolio company of RoundTable, bought the division from AngioTech.
The acquisition also included manufacturing facilities in Stenlose, Denmark, and Wheeling, Ill. Argon previously announced that it would close the Denmark facility and move production to Wheeling.
The company statement said the decision to move Gainesville's production to Athens, Texas, followed a study to determine "the optimal configuration of Argon's manufacturing operations to produce the highest quality product in the most efficient manner possible."
"While the results of our study were clear regarding the need to consolidate these facilities, this was not an easy decision to make," Argon CEO Michael Hudson said in the statement. "We understand the impact on our employees and stand committed to help them as they look for other employment."
Employees will be offered severance payments based on years of service, the company said.
"It's always disappointing when we lose a local employer and the jobs," said Susan Davenport, vice president of economic development for the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce.
Davenport said the priority is to try to retain Argon's talent for other employers in the area.
Although the WARN notice was filed Monday, FloridaWorks' Business Services Team had already reached out to Argon after hearing about the closure "through the grapevine," said Kim Tesch-Vaught, executive director of FloridaWorks.
The workforce agency is holding a job fair at Argon from Aug. 6-8. So far, five local manufacturing companies have signed up to recruit Argon's workers — RTI Surgical, Invivo, Prioria Robotics, Encell Technology and RGI Medical — Tesch-Vaught said.
The agency also will offer help with job searches, training funds and unemployment claims.
That five companies are already interested in talking to the employees speaks to economic development efforts to diversity the local economy, Tesch-Vaught said.
"There are more opportunities when something like this happens," she said.
The announcement follows the relocation of three other manufacturers over the past year. The Ball Corp. beverage can lid plant closed earlier this year, affecting 127 jobs. The company said the decision was the result of declining demand for standard 12-ounce cans and because its other lid plants have lower freight costs because they are closer to customers.
Heat Pipe Technology, with 35 employees, moved to Tampa to be closer to two interstates, an airport and ports, and a larger labor pool. Entertainment Metals, with 12 employees, was drawn to Fort Myers by incentives offered by Lee County when it was looking for a larger building.
Argon's relocation is typical of manufacturing companies buying other companies to increase market share or resources, said Brian Soucek, chairman of the Advanced Manufacturing Association of North Central Florida.
"They've got to move them where they need it," he said.
Soucek is human resources manager at SiVance LLC, which has withstood several acquisitions over the years to remain in Gainesville, most recently by Milliken & Company.

Press release 219/2017
11 December 2017
Nena Stoiljkovic, Vice President of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which belongs to the World Bank Group, will visit Helsinki and Vaasa from 14 to 15 December in order to present the Climate Fund (Finland-IFC Blended Finance for Climate Program), which was set up by Finland and IFC in October. The aim of the visit is to give an outline of the Fund's objectives and activities as well as to tell about the opportunities for cooperation that will open up for Finnish companies. Finland will channel EUR 114 million into the Fund and is expected to mobilise investments worth a total of approximately EUR 500 million in renewable and clean energy solutions and other climate projects in developing countries
"Asia and Africa will be critical for climate change. In the cooperation with IFC we intend to encourage more and more companies to invest in clean solutions in the poorest countries. The Finns can provide good solutions and I hope that Finnish companies will take advantage of the opportunities offered by the new Fund and transfer their expertise to poor developing countries," Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Kai Mykkänen says.
Stoiljkovic will hold a keynote speech in two seminars related to the matter, one in Helsinki and one in Vaasa, and have bilateral meetings with representatives of central Finnish stakeholders. Stoiljkovic will visit Finland on the invitation of Minister Mykkänen.
The events in December will be open for the general public and people are encouraged to engage in a broad discussion on climate funding. Companies, civil society organisations and the public sector are expected to send their representatives to the events. Finland will channel a total of EUR 114 million into the Fund to be invested in projects during the next five years.
This will be the largest funding ever targeted at international climate work in Finland. Shortage of energy is a critical barrier to development for the poorest countries, and the need and consumption of energy are likely to grow rapidly in the future. The aim is that a major part of the needs arising from the growth would be met by means of low-emission energy. By means of thisinvestment decision, Finland supports both the Paris Agreement and the goals of the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development (SDGs).

Vittorio Cassini Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Liguria
Vittorio started by planting additional taggiasca trees and carefully trimming the existing trees his ancestors had planted. A new frantoio was built allowing for better control of the oil quality at pressing time. Vittorio and his father carefully monitor the olive crop for ripeness. They pick 60% of the crop at the green stage and the remainder of the crop at the black- purple stage. The picked fruit is rushed to the farm�s frantoio for processing within 12 hours of harvesting. The extraction method is the Continuous cycle system. The 100% Taggiasca olive oils are later blended to create the signature style that is Cassini. The Cassini oil is offered in limited supply, as the entire production is just 10,000 bottles per harvest. The oil is golden green with notes of fresh almonds, white pepper and artichoke on the nose and palette, and a clean, sweet buttery finish. This delicate oil lends well to fish and vegetable dishes, and of course, will create the quintessential pesto, a classic of the region.
Proud winner of the 2010 LA Olive Oil Competitions' Bronze Medal in the Ligurian Category.

Fundamentals for the British pound seem to be going from bad to worse, yet the currency remains well above key support levels. How long will the British currency continue to remain supported in the face of a double-dip recession and multiple rounds of quantitative easing?
The Bank of England's latest quarterly inflation report has issued yet another downgrade in growth prospects; 2013 GDP has been revised to zero growth from the 0.8% predicted in the May report. The Bank of England reiterated its forecast that the Consumer Price Index would reach its 2.0% target before year-end from its current 2.4%.
The pace of decline in UK inflation nearly is identical to that during 2008/2009. CPI peaked at 5.2% in September 2008 before tumbling to 1.1% one year later. The pattern repeated when CPI made another September peak of 5.2%, this time in 2011. If the pace of CPI decline remains in tandem with that of 2008/2009, then we could see inflation reach as low as 1.1%-1.5% before year-end, rather than the 2.0% anticipated.
One fundamental factor standing apart from 2008/2009 is the decline in energy prices. Unlike in 2008/2009 when oil prices plunged by more than 50%, a double-dip of 30% occurred in 2011 and 2012. Yet any decline in energy is more than offset by the 36% increase in wheat prices and 23% increase in corn so far this year. This would offset the negative impact of slowing energy prices, especially as the sterling index is off 14% from its May highs.
Aside from comparing inflation and energy prices, bear in mind the Bank of England's balance sheet has reached a new high of £376 billion, up 54% from autumn 2011. "Paying down inflation" shows the inverse relationship between the increase in the balance sheet and the sharp retreat in inflation from 5.2% to 2.4% during the same period. As inflation nears the 2.0% level and the UK economy shows little signs of exiting recession in the midst of intensifying austerity and slowing global macro dynamics, the case for further QE should remain — as would a challenging forward-looking dynamic on the British pound.
In July 2012, the Bank of England announced its third round of QE by pumping an additional £50 billion into the economy, rendering the total size of the QE program £450 billion. The original program began in March 2009 with £75 billion, followed by £200 billion later that year. Then in October 2011, the Bank of England delivered a further £75 billion program, which was extended again in February by £50 billion.
As QE reaches the risk of diminishing returns, the Bank of England already is mulling new ways of intervention, such as cutting the base interest rate from its current historic low of 0.5%, or more electronic money printing. On the growth side, the National Institute for Economic and Social Research warned economic growth would contract by 0.5% this year and grow by only 1.3% in 2013.
Technically, GBP/USD faces a rare confluence of resistance with the 200-day moving average at 1.5730 near the 200-week moving average of $1.5710. That both the 200-day and 200-week moving averages have acted as visible trendlines raises the relevance of this level, and reduces the market's determination to extend bids beyond 1.5770, which is near the 100-day moving average.
A breakout above 1.5770 (needed to see a weekly close above 1.5780) sets the next target at 1.5920, the 100-week moving average as of Aug 10. Such a move would be viable only in the event of a new "explosion" in risk appetite, courtesy of a third longer-term refinancing operation (LTRO) from the European Central Bank and a third QE.
On the downside, a break of support at 1.5480 is the required target by bears to step up any fresh selling. A weekly close below 1.5480 could pave the way toward 1.5280 as the focal point for the next selling pressure.

I'll be there at 10am or whenever guys decide when -- Stapleton is only a short drive for me.What sould we do on food? Mark, do you have a BBQ?My tie rod ends needs replacing after running over some serious road debris, but the dealership is working on it as I speak (at $460 including alignment, along with a new CV at $275, and a new tranny gasket $407), but then again we have a lot to do on Sunday anyways.
Actually, I'll pick up a bunch of awesome fresh homemade brauts from Whole Foods.
How about 9am Mark? Is that too early. I really want to get this done. But if that's too early for you, let me know. It's your call.
Hey Alan R. One thing I noticed is that you have the slots on your discs going inward as they spin. When I got mine they are going the opposite way. I did this because they were marked L and R. My first thought was "This isn't right" followed by "Well if that's the right way, I guess I had better do it.Is there a preferred way?Thanks,W
Thanks Alan. That is exactly what I was thinking as well. I just assumed ECS was correct and you know what that means...I'll send them an email just to confirm.
The way in which we have slots does matter. Here is how they should look.(You might have to use your imagination a little) The drivers side theslots should go like this [ / ] The passenger side [ \ ] If this stilldoes not help or you have some more questions please let me know and I wouldbe glad to help you out.

BFA Fairfax Takes Both Games Against Lake Region Ball Clubs
ORLEANS–Fairfax freshman fireballer Kayla Mathieu stymied Lake Region's bats, tossing a no-hitter, while her teammates gave her more than enough support in a 20-1 schoolgirls softball game Wednesday night."Our first two games against them, they threw (senior pitcher) Ruby (Bushey), and we knew we could hit her," said Ranger coach Matt Tinker. "We were actually pretty confident coming in. But we weren't prepared for this girl (Mathieu). She was just phenomenal."The Rangers looked like they were going to get out of the first inning unscathed, defending Fairfax' vaunted top of the lineup bunting game and getting two outs with two runners on base. But the Bullets then strung together five consecutive hits, and plated seven runs before the first frame was over. Meanwhile, Mathieu was on cruise control from the outset, with a commanding fastball with movement, racking up 16 strikeouts before the day was over.Lake Region's Callie Cashin walked, stole second, stole third, and came home on a throwing error for LR's only run in the 5th."It was the perfect storm for them. Their pitcher was on her game, and their offense was clicking on all cylinders. I'm not sure there's a team in the state, Division 1 included, that could've beat them the way they were playing today. From a coaching standpoint, you hate to be one the wrong end of that score. From a fan of the game standpoint, you have to appreciate what they did today. All you can do is tip your hat to them, and move on to the next game."Fairfax remains undefeated at 11-0, while Lake Region drops to 4-7. The Rangers will host Peoples Academy, who they battled to a 10-9 contest in their previous meeting, on Saturday at 11:00.Over on the baseball diamond BFA's Zac Roy picked up the win for the Bullets as they topped the Rangers 11-5.Matt Messier and Corey Whitten were both able to get to two hits against Roy, but it wasn't enough to propel Lake Region to the win.Isaac Miller took the loss for the home team.The boys, now 2-7, will host Peoples on Saturday.

Sunday Brunch, AnydayPosted: November 14th, 2009 | Author: johanna | Filed under: Johanna, Make-Ahead, Monthly Mingle, brunch, vegetarian | Tags: brunch, Cheese, Eggs, Monthly Mingle, Mushrooms, Pan Paesano, vegetarian | 16 Comments »
One of my favorite bloggers recently posted a recipe for Saffron shortbread cookies. And she posted it as a participant in something called the Monthly Mingle. The internet is full of blog events, from Novel Food to Daring Bakers to the BBA Challenge.
This month's Mingle theme is brunch recipes. Now, I love me some brunch, so I decided that a heck of a time to start participating would be with brunch. So….. away we go!
While I love french toast or a good stack of pancakes as much as anybody, I'm much happier to put my energies into a savory brunch, and similarly much happier to eat it. Plus, it's difficult for me to make a brunch decision out at a restaurant that doesn't involve cheese or eggs in some way. Unless it's corned beef hash. And honestly, cheese on corned beef hash would be delicious, but overly decadent.
And yet I digress.
We were out at a party the night before our at-home brunch, and I knew that I would be up early the following morning to go for a run (4.5 miles. ughhh). So, when we got home from the party, I threw together a Breakfast Bread Pudding, which much like a strata, can be left in the fridge overnight, fully assembled, and baked the next morning.
Breakfast Bread Pudding
1. Butter a baking dish. It can be round or oval or rectangular, 9×13 or smaller, or possibly bigger if you scale up. I used a smaller one than I planned, but any baking dish will do, as long as it has 2-inch or higher sides.
2. Tear up half a loaf of crusty bread. We used Pan Paesano from Whole Foods, which has a delicious cornmeal crust, but please feel free to leave whatever loaf of bread you want out on the counter all day, so you can tear it up at night. Rip it into bite-sized pieces, and scatter them evenly over the bottom of the dish.
3. Dice 1 small onion and 1 clove of garlic, and saute in 1 tablespoon of butter until soft. Add roughly 8 ounces of chopped crimini mushrooms, and cook until softened and starting to color. Add a pinch of salt, and season with pepper. While the mushrooms and onions cook, halve 3/4 of a pint of grape tomatoes and reserve.
4. Whisk together 6 eggs and 1 cup of milk, and season with salt and pepper. Raid your cheese selection to see what you have left in the fridge. Grate whatever looks good — in our case some leftover Madrigal baby swiss that was used in several recipes, most notably the Most Amazing Mushroom Risotto EVER. Grate 2/3 of a cup of cheese.
5. When the mushrooms are cooked, sprinkle the mushroom-onion mixture, as well as the tomatoes, over the bread chunks. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Pour in the egg mixture, and press everything down into the bottom of the baking dish. This is literally the most disgusting combination of sound and feeling ever, but persevere. Top with the rest of the cheese.
6. At this point, you could cover the bread pudding, and stick it in the fridge overnight. Otherwise, you could put it directly into a 350-degree oven for 1 hour.
Call your friends up, and tell them to bring the mimosas.
Or, y'know, change out of your sweaty running clothes, thank the heavens for boyfriends who remember to put the food in the oven, and settle down on the couch with a plate of this and a cup of coffee. Your house will smell gorgeous and you will be eating a delicious meal. I suppose there might be more to life, but around 11am, I couldn't think of a darn thing.

Liquor retailers are hiring security staff to crackdown on underage school leavers getting hold of alcohol during Schoolies Week celebrations.
Dan Murphy's and BWS, both owned by supermarket giant Woolworths, will have security staff on the door at designated Schoolies "hot spots" over the week-long festivities.
About 60 guards will be employed across the nation, in particular at popular Schoolies locations such as Surfers Paradise, the Sunshine Coast and Byron Bay.
The guards will prevent underage people from entering stores as well as keeping an eye on teenagers attempting to use over-18s to purchase alcohol for them.
Staff and guards have been directed to refuse service to any member of a group they believe may be purchasing alcohol for minors, even if that person has identification proving they're over 18.
Security staff will also be used to deny access to stores to intoxicated people.
"BWS and Dan Murphy's are committed to the responsible service of alcohol and in the lead-up to Schoolies we are reinforcing the importance of this to our customers and staff," BWS and Dan Murphy's national liquor licensing manager Shane Tremble said in a statement.
"The secondary supply of alcohol to minors is a significant issue for our stores, the authorities and the community. We know that very few underage drinkers attempt to buy alcohol themselves, preferring to ask others to buy it for them so it is important we tackle this issue head-on.
"While these measures may result in some customers being denied service in our stores, our objective is to ensure that alcohol is not sold for consumption by minors."
The steps are part of a wider Schoolies action plan by the retail giants, which also includes staff being encouraged to request ID from any person who looks under the age of 25 and in-store signage reminding customers it is a crime to purchase alcohol for persons under 18.
Schoolies Week begins on the Gold Coast on Saturday with more than 30,000 school leavers expected to attend.

Some Halifax-area residents have been finding fresh scam emails parked in their inboxes lately.
Emails that appear to be associated with parking giant Impark describe parking violations, complete with a ticket number and an outstanding fine amount. The catch for Haligonians is that the phoney offences happened in Toronto.
"There is absolutely nothing that we can do about it," said Julian Jones, corporate development vice-president for Impark, which operates nearly 3,500 parking facilities in more than 240 North American cities.
"It's actually been going on for just about a year," Jones said from Vancouver. "It started last December. It's not only affected us. We've seen similar emails relating to a parking company in Australia, and also a similar email which purportedly came from the City of Winnipeg. . . . One consumer did some research and found that it originated from somewhere in Russia. We have no control over it."
Impark operates a number of parking lots and garages in Halifax and Dartmouth, including outlets on Portland, South, Granville, Hollis and Upper and Lower Water streets, and the IWK and Park Lane parking garages.
The email notice is sloppily written, with a number of misspelled words and misplaced punctuation. The notice provides a number of hyperlinks, including a link to a non-existent picture of an officer ticketing your vehicle. The email includes the Impark name and a logo.
"We have obviously received calls and it is clearly a concern for us," Jones said. "People who do business with us are concerned about it. The one thing I can say is that we do not actually ever communicate with consumers about parking notices by email. If you actually think about it, there is no way we could know your email address from having received a parking notice. That's an indication that clearly they are fake."
Jones said Impark has followed through on the emails and "it doesn't look like there is even any request for money."
"It may be a phishing scam for some information but there is not much we can see that they can actually benefit from it. It is certainly a problem for people who receive it."
Const. Dal Hutchinson said the local RCMP has not yet received any complaints regarding this type of scam.
"People who are doing these scams are becoming more creative," Hutchinson said. "Some of the emails they send look quite realistic and legitimate."
He said if it was an email about a parking infraction in Halifax, recipients here might get alarmed that they were ticketed without realizing it.
"But if it is something that just doesn't make sense, delete the email and move on.
"Delete and empty your trash. That's the recommendation I can give."

Two days of calculus?
That's what Gothenburg High School calculus students experienced at Math Day at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on Nov. 21 and the day before, according to teacher Sharise Scherer.While traveling to Lincoln on Nov. 20, students collected data on time, distance, velocity and acceleration, did math at a restaurant that included tipping and at the hotel where they stayed. They also participated in a math scavenger hunt at a mall.
The next day, they competed in a quiz bowl, took a PROBE test on problem-solving skills, talked to GHS graduate Mike Hilderbrand about math and toured residence halls and the campus.

Introduction, LAN Fest, Game Demos, Future of Gaming panel
Check out our video coverage of the SXSW Screenburn Arcade!
The 19th Annual South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival kicked off on Mar. 9 and wraps up Mar. 12 in Austin, Texas. While most of the event featured interactive workshops and panels of experts from within the web development and social media communities, I focused most of my efforts covering the SXSW Screenburn Arcade at the Palmer Event Center. This is where most of the PC and console gaming enthusiasts attending SXSW converged to watch pro gamers from the IGN Pro League battle in League of Legends, Starcraft II, and check out several game demos like Lollipop Chainsaw for the XBox 360 and Quantum Conundrum and FireFall for the PC.
Intel LAN Fest
I also had the opportunity to visit the Intel-sponsored, non-profit LANFest where event visitors could jump on one of their Alienware systems and play a variety of PC games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Team Fortress 2, MineCraft, Half Life 2 Death Match, WArsaw, Alien Swarm, Portal, World of Tanks, and Left 4 Dead 2 . LAN participants paid a $5 donation to play, which helped raise funds that will be sent to the city of Bastrop, Texas that lost more than 400 homes because of wildfires last September. They also raffled off a new ASUS Ultrabook to raise money for the United Way non-profit organization.

Michel Roux Jr's Pumpkin and swede crumble
Michel Roux Jr's face is a wonder. It makes Masterchef the Professionals, full of wonderment, shock, horror and pleasure, and he looks like a thoroughly nice guy, even if he is a little reminiscent of a well fed and respectable Gollum. His two episodes of cookery master-classes also reached the pinnacle of modern food porn programming, with no effort to provide a recipe or expect a single viewer to cook his creations at home. All the pleasure was in watching someone very skilled do something very well, and produce something beautiful.
Unfortunately he is not a prolific cookbook writer, his most recent is Cooking with The Master Chef, capitalising on his recent rise in popularity. It's a lovely book with a good range of complexity in recipes, but it's not forgiving. Recipes are short and minimal and definitely require some knowledge of what to expect in the kitchen.
Below is a recipe for his 'Pumpkin and swede crumble' whose savoury, earthy cheeseyness far out does any sweet crumble I've eaten. Like any sweet crumble needs custard, this requires a sharp, sweet, mustardy dressing to perfectly finish it off. I tried replacing the pumpkin with sweet potato, but it didn't hold its shape as well as the other veg and ended up disintegrating, so stick to pumpkin if you have some to hand, or fill out with more swede or squash.
- 100g butter
- 150g plain flour
- 1 tspn salt
- 100g mature cheddar, grate
- 75g chopped almond, hazelnuts, walnuts or a mixture, roughly chopped
- 300g pumpkin
- 300g swede
- 300g butternut squash
- 1 onion, chopped
- nutmeg
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped or crushed
- 30ml balsamic vinegar
- 1 tspn demerara sugar
- 2 tbspn olive oil
- 1 tbspn wholegrain mustard
- Sift the flour and rub in the butter until you have a breadcrumb like consistency.
- Mix in the salt, grated cheese, and roughly chopped nuts.
- Peel and cut the pumpkin, squash and swede into 1 cm cubes.
- Cook on a high heat in olive oil, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are slightly browned, around 5 minutes.
- Reduce to a medium heat and add the chopped onion, rosemary, nutmeg, salt and pepper, cover with a lid and cook for 20 minutes.
- Add the garlic, replace lid and cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove the rosemary sprigs, and put the mixture into a dish and spread the crumble on top.
- Bake in a 180C oven for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Mix up the dressing and serve.

This is every bit as amazing as it looks. My carnivore husband devoured it with appreciative noises! I added a beetroot which was lying around and used pistachios in the topping, none of which should detract from the integrity of the original recipe. Will definitely do it again!
Can you freeze it once its cooked? or maybe even before its cooked? thanks
