Sacred Heart Seminary has dominated the intersection of Linwood Avenue and West Chicago Boulevard since 1924. The "collegiate Gothic" seminary and its campus of athletic fields and secluded walkways was centerpiece of the building boom occurring in the Catholic Diocese of Detroit under Bishop Michael Gallagher in the 1920s (Tentler 306). Until 1988, Sacred Heart was a "minor" seminary, consisting of a high school--which closed in 1970--and a liberal arts college. Candidates for the priesthood underwent four more years of preparation at a "major" seminary, usually St. John's Provincial Seminary in Plymouth. When St. John's closed in 1988, Sacred Heart took on the complete higher education of aspiring priests, deacons, and lay ministers.
The seminary's statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus standing at the corner of West Chicago and Linwood became an important symbol when participants in the 1967 rebellion painted its face black. Within a few weeks, someone had painted it white again. Sacred Heart's rector at the time, Monsignor Francis X. Canfield, directed some of the seminarians to paint the face black again, and black it has remained ever since. The late William X. Kienzle tells a version of this story in his 1996 novel, Requiem for Moses, in which the seminary serves as the setting for a high-profile news conference (153-154).
Philip Levine writes of living in the early fifties in a small apartment on Lawton across the street from the seminary. After getting off the streetcar at Linwood and Clairmount, the speaker of one Levine poem walks past the seminary grounds, noticing "black-robed men walking / in silence beneath the elms." Standing outside, he envies the seminarians who have
the quiet, the massive iron gates that kept the city out, the thick-leafed trees that caught what faint light there was and gave it back to the night.
Unlike the seminary students, Levine's speaker says, he does "not know who to thank" for his existence. And yet, the poem makes clear, that twenty-five years later, he is grateful for his life, for the simple pleasures of food and music, for the jazz "created by men / becoming myths," and for "being whole / in a country at war" ("And That Night Clifford Died" 12-13).
One of the "dark-robed men" Levine saw walking on the seminary campus could have been the future mystery novelist, William Kienzle, who, like Levine, was born in Detroit in 1928. Kienzle graduated from Sacred Heart in 1950 and was ordained a priest in 1954. He worked as editor of the Michigan Catholic for twelve years and left the priesthood in 1974, beginning a career as a writer of mysteries a few years later. Kienzle's plots involve the crime-solving of Father Robert Koesler, an amateur detective, but the author usually weaves in plenty of commentary about theology and church politics. In No Greater Love (in which Sacred Heart is called St. Joseph's) and The Gathering, Sacred Heart Seminary serves as the academic center of conflicts between Catholic progressives and conservatives. Some seminary professors, like Father Leo Ward, appear undisguised in Kienzle's work (No 42); others, like Father Paul Berg, are very thinly disguised (No 87-90).
Although not on the faculty, Kienzle lived at Sacred Heart while working as editor of the Michigan Catholic. For relaxation, he would play Gershwin on the baby grand piano in his second-floor suite overlooking the eastern courtyard. One evening as he played a solo-piano version of Rhapsody in Blue, a dozen seminarians gathered outside his closed door. As he finished with a flourish, they erupted in applause that continued until the soloist finally opened the door and sheepishly bowed.
The seminary's theatre-auditorium occupies the building's northeast wing. Here, generations of players exhausted the limited theatrical repertoire of works without women. (A short-lived 1960s experiment in using high school freshmen in the women's roles of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado ended when voices changed one week before the performance.) For many years, the annual Lenten drama was a medieval passion play. This changed in the "liberal" sixties when dramas with religious themes-like T. S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral and Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons-and a spate of military theatrical works-Saul Levitt's The Andersonville Trial, Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny Court Marshall, and Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski's Stalag 17-took the seminary stage.
Marygrove College English Professor Frank D. Rashid attended Sacred Heart Seminary High School and College from 1964 until 1970.

The Balboa Park festival attracts more than 60,000 people each year
A lot has changed since Carolyn Chase organized her first EarthFair event 24 years ago.
She's seen everything from solar power and eco-friendly cleaning products go from exotic concepts to mainstream businesses, as well as more people taking up community gardening and using electric cars.
But after all these years and so many changes, the concept of the event is still the same.
When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday
Where: Balboa Park
Admission: Free
Online: earthdayweb.org
"The purpose is to connect people with all the ways they can make a difference with the environment and inspire them to do so," she said. "I like to think of it as a marketplace of ideas. We may not have all the right ideas, but we have enough that somebody can find something they can care about ... and criticize."
This year's event — which attracts more than 60,000 people and bills itself as the "world's largest annual environmental fair" — continues to bring innovative ideas, hundreds of vendors, vegetarian food and plenty of traffic to Balboa Park.
Here are some highlights:
Children's activities: Start the day at the Children's Earth Parade, a joyous walk down the Prado that begins at 10:30 a.m. It features cute kids dressed as endangered species, presenting Earth-friendly messages. You'll also find vendors selling items like eco-oriented arts-and-crafts kits and reusable lunch bags. And The Primate Rescue Network will have a hanging challenge in which people try to see who can hang on a bar like a monkey the longest.
Freebies: Along with the food samples, there are also some new products to try. Team, an Israeli company that invented drought-tolerant tomato plants, will be giving away seedlings. And you can get a roll of cardboard-less toilet paper from Scott Bath Tissues.
Booths: There are so many booths at this festival, you won't even know where to begin. Among the stops, you'll find green-friendly politicians, organic clothes, lessons in composting and gardening and more.
Healthy food: Presidents Field becomes a healthy zone with vegan burgers, beet salads, hummus, fair-trade coffee and even a spot for post-lunch dancing. This year, there's a second food zone that features veggie options only at Plaza de Panama.
Etc.: There will also be entertainment, an Earth-friendly art gallery, clean-car and green-home displays and much more.
Parking: Chase recommends avoiding SR-163 after 10 a.m. You can park at Petco Park for $5 and hop on a free shuttle or find a free spot at San Diego City College and walk or bike over. You'll also find free bike valet areas.

Was it the skiing that brought you here, or perhaps the hiking or biking. Maybe a romance prompted the move. Whatever caused your journey, it comes with a story. Many of those stories are highlighted in a new exhibition that opened on June 4th. Aspen Public Radio's Marci Krivonen has more. Journey Stories is a traveling exhibition that makes a stop in Aspen in June and July. Tracking Wildfire Risk in Your Backyard By Marci Krivonen • Jun 6, 2013 Fire season has already started in Colorado with the so-called Blue Bell fire igniting near Denver this week. Closer to home, fire officials are holding meetings in local communities to get people prepared. In an effort to educate people statewide, Colorado State University has unveiled a new website that pinpoints fire risk throughout the state. As Aspen Public Radio's Marci Krivonen reports the website allows the user to type in their address to see how susceptible their home is to wildfire. Mick's Exit Interview By Roger Adams • Jun 6, 2013 Roger Adams Aspen Mayor Mick Ireland becomes citizen Ireland on Monday. After three terms as mayor and a member of the Pitkin County Commission before that, Ireland has spent the better part of two decades in public office. He spoke with Aspen Public Radio's Roger Adams about the transition he is making. Ireland says he is getting used to the idea. Fewer Firefighters, But Not Here By Elise Thatcher • Jun 5, 2013 The Forest Service isn't hiring as many firefighters this year, compared to years past. That's according to the agency's top official. Tom Tidwell testified before Congress earlier this week. He said there will be five hundred fewer firefighters this year. That's because of sequestration, or mandatory budget cuts. Bill Kight is with the White River National Forest. Aspen Public Radio asked whether those budget cuts will mean fewer firefighters for the Forest. "Uh no, not really, we're in good shape this year. We're about the same number of folks we had last year." CrossCurrents - Aspen Ideas Fest: Rock the Vote & Mothers2Mothers By Carolyne Heldman • Jun 5, 2013 Two speakers from the upcoming Aspen Ideas Fest: Heather Smith, President of "Rock the Vote" Dr. Mitch Besser, Founder/Medical Director of "mothers2mothers" Aspen Elects Steve Skadron as its New Mayor By Marci Krivonen • Jun 4, 2013 Marci Krivonen After months of campaigning and build-up, the City of Aspen finally has a new mayor. The results of yesterday's run-off election tipped in favor of current council member Steve Skadron. Skadron was one of two slow-growth candidates that advanced to the run-off after winning a municipal election in early May. Aspen Public Radio's Marci Krivonen reports. Current City Council member Steve Skadron received the news of his win in the room where he's spent many long evenings: City Council chambers. Basalt Death: Police Still Looking for RFTA Bus Rider By Elise Thatcher • Jun 4, 2013 Farther down valley, the Basalt Police Department is still trying to reach someone who may have been one of the last people to see a man who died in Basalt last month. Daniel Perez Mejia was found in late May in a ditch near Big O Tires in Basalt. Police say Mejia got off a bus operated by the Roaring Fork Transit Authority late in the evening on Saturday, May 25th. There was another man who got off the bus at the same time. Water Meeting Will Tackle New State Water Plan By Elise Thatcher • Jun 4, 2013 Marci Krivonen Water managers, users, and other decision makers from across Colorado are meeting today in Keystone.

That's according to the latest numbers from Colorado's Department of Labor and Employment. Chief Economist Alexandra Hall says the update doesn't increase the overall average number of jobs during the fourth quarter of 2012. But the update does show Colorado's job numbers appear to be accurately reflecting the state's economy. Glenwood Springs Company Repairs Damaged Rivers Across the Country By Marci Krivonen • May 30, 2013 Marci Krivonen The summer season is beginning, and with it comes river recreation of all kinds in the Roaring Fork Valley.

I'm interested in finding a recursion or simple representation for a "Hadamard product" of two power series.
The Hadamard Product
The Hadamard product is defined on generating functions $f(x)$ and $f(y)$ as $f(z)$ below:
$f(x) = \sum_{i=0}^\infty{c_i x^i}$
$f(y) = \sum_{i=0}^\infty{d_i y^i}$
$f(z) = \sum_{i=0}^\infty{c_i \cdot d_i z^i}$
My Particular Interest
Now suppose that we work on the series above with only the first N terms as possibly nonzero, and the rest will be considered to be zero.
Take the coefficients of $f(x)$ to be the reciprocals of the first $N$ naturals, e.g.
$f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^N{\frac{1}{i} x^{i+1}}$
Now suppose that $f(y)$ is in the form of an expression, i.e.
$f(y) = \frac{1-(2y)^{N-1}}{1 - 2y}$ represents the first N terms of the form $(2y)^N$
$f(y) = \frac{1-(n+1)x^N+Nx^{N+1}}{(x-1)^2}$ represents the first N naturals in series
or some similar function...
My Question
Can we find a simple expression, such as a recursion or formula, to represent the "Hadamard product" of these new series?
We could simply write out the $N$ terms in the resulting function $f(z)$. However, I'm wondering if there is a more compact way of representing this. I'm particularly interested when $f(x)$ is the series of reciprocals mentioned above. However, I am interested in finding this result for almost any $f(y)$. Is there a way to do this?
I'd like to consider both the cases when coefficients of $f(y)$ take on real values and when it is complex-valued.

Rather than lecturing us on the benefits of eating vegetables and doing vigorous workouts, Margaret Ellen Moores of Newfoundland says she's reached the age of 106 thanks to eating junk food and enjoying herself. Her daughter said at her birthday party this weekend, "She loves her sweets. She never drank water in her life ... [She loves] her salt beef, the same old-time meals as ever she had … She loves her pizza and French fries now. So it's not her diet is it?" When asked about the secret to her longevity, Moores said, "Good times I guess, when I got old. I didn't have them when I was young ... [I] got so fond of them, I couldn't let them go."

ODFW tackles invasive plants and animals in Jackson County Sports Park Ponds
March 12, 2013
Central Point, Ore.—Biologists will drain two small ponds at the Jackson County Sports Park in an effort to eradicate invasive snails and plants, specifically Chinese mystery snails and Brazilian elodea.
"Our concern is that the ponds drain into irrigation canals that connect seasonally with nearby streams that flow into Denman Wildlife Area ponds and, eventually, the Rogue River," said Rick Boatner, ODFW Invasive Species coordinator. "Once invasive species spread, they are hard—if not impossible—to get rid of."
Both the snails and plants were probably put into the ponds by people dumping contents of home aquariums. Because of their detrimental effect on native snails and their penchant for clogging water pipes, mystery snails are prohibited in Oregon; they are illegal to possess, sell, buy or trade. Brazilian elodea is a plant native to South American that is often used in aquariums. When released, it spreads rapidly, covering a water body in mats that interfere with fishing, swimming and boating and degrade fish habitat.
"The primary goal is to stop these exotics now and protect Oregon's native fish and wildlife species," said Dan Van Dyke, ODFW District Fish biologist. "We also hope to provide a nice fishing pond at this site that everyone can enjoy, but that depends on our ability to eliminate the invasive species."
The public can help as well. "Never release pets or move fish around," said Boatner. "If you see someone illegally releasing fish or dumping fish tanks, write down any available information and report it."
A tip line for wildlife violations is listed in both the fishing and hunting regulations at (800) 452-7888.
ODFW biologists are working on the project in conjunction with Jackson County Parks.

Below are poll averages (from Real Clear Politics) for Presidential, Gubernatorial, Senate, and contested House seats. A positive poll average favors the Republican candidate whereas a negative poll average favors the Democratic candidate. From the poll averages a ranking and probability are calculated for each race. A probability above 0.5 (50%) favors the Republican candidate whereas a probability under 0.5 favors the Democratic candidate. The higher ranking, the higher the probability the race will go to the Republican candidate. The lower the ranking, the higher the probability the race will go to the Democratic candidate. Since polling in House races are not very accurate, the formula to calculate the probability is more complex taking into account race ratings by the Cook, Election Projection, and Sabato political reports as well as generic congressional polling results and PVI (Partisan Voting Index). A positive PVI means the percentage of registered Republicans in the district outnumbers registered Democrats whereas a negative PVI means the percentage of registered Democrats in the district outnumbers registered Republicans. The overall probability for the President, Senate, Gubernatorial, and House races are computed to project the number of seats (including the presidency) that are going to be won by Republicans and Democrats respectively. Race candidates will be filled in to the below tables once they are determined by state primaries. I will update and post this information regularly. Below is an overall summary of the predicted outcomes based on probability density function models.
Presidential Electoral Vote: Obama 315; Republican 220 (R +48), Obama at 54.3% of winning the election.
Governor Races: Current - Republicans 29; Democrats 19 (2 Independents); Projection - Republicans 32; Democrats 18 (including 2 Independents)
Senate Races: Current - Republicans 47; Democrats 53 (Including 2 Independents); Projection - Republicans 51; Democrats 49 (Including 2 Independents)
House Races: Current - Republicans 242; Democrats 193; Projection: Republicans 239; Democrats 196;
Below is an overall summary of the predicted outcomes based solely on election polls:
Presidential Electoral Vote: Obama 315; Republican 220
Governor Races: Republicans 31; Democrats 17 (2 Independents)
Senate Races: Republicans 48; Democrats 52 (Including 2 Independents)
House Races: Republicans 235; Democrats 200

Iron cobalt was the most magnetic material on Earth, until physicists created what's in this man's hands. It's an iron and nitrogen compound which is 18 per cent more magnetic and disproves traditional theories about how magnetic a material can be.
Jianping Wang, a physicist at the University of Minnesota, created the compound, but he's actually not the first to do so:
In 1996, researchers from the Central Research Laboratory of Hitachi in Japan made the same iron and nitrogen compound. Their research also showed that the material exceeded limitations set by traditional theories. However, scientists were unable to duplicate their experiments.
Apparently Wang has "taken special care to allow other scientists to duplicate his experimental setup" because of these failed attempts of the past. It's a shame that his experiment doesn't count as proof of the original compound's creation for some reason, though. [MN Daily via Pop Sci]

In most cases, you will see your cash back posted within 10 days of your purchase. Some purchases may take longer to post depending on the merchant.

merchants checkout?

address correct in your Account Information page?
Your Account Information page contains your current payment method we use to pay you. Always make sure the PayPal or Check mailing address is correct. Due to the high volume of payments we issue, we are not able to resend payments due to incorrect PayPal or mailing addresses.
If the answers to both of the above questions are "Yes",
then contact us.
Back to top
Why is there a 90 day waiting period for transactions to fully clear
as cash back to me?
When you see a transaction posted to your Transactions and Payments page, this means it was credited to us by the merchant, and we credited it to you.
Due to risks such as fraud purchases, returned merchandise, canceled orders or other actions you may take to terminate your order with our merchants, they have instated a 90 day waiting period to make your transaction official. During this 90 day period, our merchants can withdraw the transaction back from us if one of the instances mentioned above occurs. After 90 days, the cash back on the transaction posted to your account is officially yours! The ONLY reason for this 90 day waiting period is to protect us and the merchant against such instances. We mark your transactions with YELLOW and GREEN bullets to indicate the status of the transactions.
YELLOW bullet - A yellow bullet next to your transaction indicates that the merchant has sent us the cash back for your purchase, and we posted it to your account. You received your credit for your transaction. The transaction now has to clear a 90 day "waiting period" (explained above) for it to clear as cash toward your quarterly payment.
bullet - A green bullet next to a transaction indicates that the
90 day waiting period for your transaction has passed, and the cash back amount you earned is
yours! It will be applied to your next quarterly payment that is sent to
Back to top
What qualifies as a referral?
A qualified referral is a referral that that has created an account, and is actively shopping and earning cash back. Once their purchases have cleared 90 days, they now become payable to you. Your total qualified referrals are is shown in your Referrals Summary under Active Referrals.

How do I get referrals?
We provide three simple to use options for you to get referrals. See below.
Option 1 - Tracking Link. Place it on your website, blog, social networking page, in your email, anywhere you like! Accounts created from clicks from this link become referrals.
Option 2 - Banners and Logos. Get banners and logos for your website, blog and more with your tracking link embedded.
Option 3 - Send Emails. Contact referrals by sending them emails using our form. They will each be sent an email from us with a link to Hoopla Doopla telling them that you recommended us! Accounts created from these sent emails become referrals.
Back to top
Is there a minimum or maximum limit to the amount of referrals I can generate?
No, there are no limits. The more you generate, the more income you earn!
Back to top
What are "Inactive Referrals"?
Inactive referrals are referrals who signed up, but have NOT made a purchase to earn cash back. Once they make a purchase and have a cash back balance in their account, they are moved into Active Referrals. At this point, they are now contributing to your earnings.
Back to top

Walmart is planning to expand its presence in Carteret County with a smaller store model.
NEWPORT � Walmart is planning to expand its presence in Carteret County with a smaller store model.
Newport Town Planner Bob Chambers said preliminary plans for a Walmart Neighborhood Market have been reviewed and he�s expecting final plans for the project at any time. Once the final plans have arrived and are complete, Chambers said he�ll be able to issue a building permit.
The plans call for the construction of the 42,000-square-foot store near the intersection of U.S. 70 and Roberts Road adjacent to the Hess Wilco gas station.
But Chambers is quick to note that the planned store model is not the same as the Supercenter down the road in Morehead City or scaled-down Express stores.
�This is a Neighborhood Market with groceries and a pharmacy,� he said.
The project sits within a commercial highway zoning district, where such stores are a permitted use.
However, Chambers said, a special-use permit was required to allow for a second driveway entrance on U.S. 70. The town�s Board of Adjustment approved that permit last month.
The Neighborhood Market store will share a driveway with the gas station and have a second entrance about 300 feet down to road.
Chambers said once the building permit is issued, construction on the project can begin.
The Newport store won�t be the only Neighborhood Market coming to the area.
Surf City�s town council approved plans earlier this month for a Neighborhood Market to be built near the intersection of N.C. 210 and N.C. 50 on land previously intended to be the location of the Surf City Promenade.

Non ci resta che piangere
The route climbs between the obvious corner taken by Via Zeni and the arete of Via Italia 61, up a series of slabs and two alrge overhangs. The climbing is technical on yellow and grey limestone which is almost always solid, the two aid pitches ruin the general feel of the route. The belays and pitches are equipped with in-situ gear, some threads are tattered.
From Passo Sella continue for a few kilometers to reach a long straight section and parking spaces on the right, immediately beneath the south face. From Canazei continue part the bar/restaurant Monti Pallidi to the hairpin bend and parking spaces immediately afterwards on the left.
Walk up the path and head towards the obvious arete and roofs breached by Via Italia 61. Reach the base of the arete and scramble up the grassy pedestal on the left, keeping close to the rock face. The route starts at the base of a grey slab (thread).
From the summit walk leftwards (east) towards the Murfried towers and then follow a broken path down to the base.
14 quickdraws. Nuts, camming devices, some tricams, plenty of kevlar threads.

Press Conference
Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's ice hockey team closed its final Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) regular-season series against nationally sixth-ranked Western Michigan with a 2-1 shootout win following an overtime tie in an action-filled contest on Saturday (Feb. 2) night at the Ewigleben Ice Arena.
The two teams combined for 33 penalties and 115 penalty minutes in a battle that raged on throughout the night before a sold out crowd of 2,537 fans in the series finale in Big Rapids. Sixteen infractions were called in the third period alone and three players were disqualified from the contest in a heated battle that resulted in a 2-2 overtime deadlock.
The Bulldogs struck first on the scoreboard in the opening period as senior wing Matt Kirzinger notched his first goal of the season on a slap shot from the center of the blue line for a power-play marker at 14:47 of the first stanza. Sophomore defenseman Simon Denis made the initial pass from the right side to freshman defenseman Brandon Anselmini on the left, who moved the puck to Kirzinger's stick at the center.
After a scoreless second period, play was stopped for several minutes only 3:28 into the final frame as officials sorted out a handful of penalties following a brawl on the ice involving multiple players from both sides.
Following the stoppage, the Broncos scored two quick goals to grab a 2-1 lead with the two markers coming less than a minutes apart in the final frame.
Western Michigan's Dennis Brown tied the game at a goal apiece when he scored the Broncos' first goal of the evening from the crease at 5:06 of the third period on a five-on-three power play after receiving the puck from Kenney Morrison, who initially received the puck off a feed from Chase Balisy.
Then, less than 30 seconds later at 5:29, Mike Leone put the puck past Bulldog sophomore goaltender CJ Motte's left glove from the bottom of the left center to give the Broncos a quick 2-1 lead. It also came on the power play following the penalty stoppage as Colton Hargrove earned his second point of the weekend by making the pass to Leone.
The 2-1 lead stood up for nearly the entire duration remaining in the third period, but Ferris State senior wing Kyle Bonis was not to be denied. He pushed the contest into overtime as he tied the game back up at 2-2 by scoring his 14th goal of the season from the bottom of the left circle with only 42 seconds remaining in regulation. Sophomore defenseman Jason Binkley shot the puck on net from the right point to earn his 16th helper of the season after receiving the puck from junior wing Garrett Thompson, who registered his 12th assist this campaign. It came with an extra attacker as the Bulldogs scored after pulling Motte from goal.
After neither team could find the back of the net in the five-minute sudden death overtime, the game advanced to a shootout. Leone struck first for Western Michigan by putting the puck past Motte. However, junior Cory Kane responded as the Bulldogs' first shooter to tie it up. Balisy could not find the back of the net on Western Michigan's second try and Bonis followed with a goal for the Bulldogs. On WMU's final try, Motte came up with the save on Shane Berschbach's attempt as Ferris State picked up the extra point in the league standings.
Motte registered 23 saves on the night in 64:40 between the pipes while Frank Slubowski played for the entire 65 minutes and made 25 saves on the night for the Broncos. Ferris State led the shots for the night by a slim 27-25 margin.
FSU was called for 17 penalties for a total of 64 minutes and WMU had 16 penalties for a total of 51 minutes. The Bulldogs converted on one out of nine power-play opportunities while the Broncos found the back of the net on two out of eight man-advantages.
With the shootout, the Bulldogs improved to 13-11-4 overall and now hold a 11-9-2-1 record in the CCHA. Meanwhile, the Broncos are now 17-6-5 overall along with 13-4-3-1 in the CCHA.
This weekend marked the final regular-season matchup between the two West Michigan rivals as FSU departs for the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) and WMU moves to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) next campaign. It was also the last of four hotly-contested regular-season matchups between the foes this season.
With the two points on the night, Ferris State held onto fourth place in the league standings as the Bulldogs now have 36 points. Miami (Ohio) moved past WMU for first place with 44 points followed by the Broncos with 43 and Notre Dame with 38 points on the year to date.
The Bulldogs will be back in action next weekend (Feb. 8-9) as they travel to the Barry Events Center in Marquette to take on the Northern Michigan Wildcats for the final time in CCHA regular-season action. The puck is set to drop at 7:35 p.m. (ET) both nights.
Tickets are currently on sale for the Bulldogs' final regular-season home contests in two weeks (Feb. 15-16) against Bowling Green State in Big Rapids. The BGSU series will represent the Bulldogs' final two CCHA regular-season games at home and the final contest on Feb. 16 will serve as FSU's annual "Senior Night" game with Fox Sports Detroit set to broadcast the contest live as part of "Hockey Day In Michigan" coverage beginning at 5:05 p.m. (ET).

In my childhood, we used to have a vegetable garden which had lots of tomatoes always hanging in there waiting to be plucked. We all enjoy the Green Tomato Chutney and we rarely used to have ripe tomatoes on the plants!! After I got married and relocated to US, I very rarely get to see green tomatoes in the local markets here. But when I can lay my hands on those I sure make our favorite chutney out of those.
Ingredients -
Green tomatoes chopped 3 cups
Green chillies 4-5 (as per taste)
Turmeric 2 pinches
Salt as per taste
Sugar/Grated Jaggery (Optional)
Tamarind juice or lemon juice as per taste
Garlic cloves 2-3 (Optional)
Garlic cloves 2-3 (Optional)
Coriander leaves 1/2 cup
For Seasoning

Urad Dal 1 tsp
Chana Dal 1 tsp
Methi seeds (Fenugreek seeds) 1 pinch
Jeera 1/2 tsp
Red chillies (Optional)
Curry leaves (Optional)
Preparation Time 25 min
Method Of Preparation -
In a skillet on a medium-high flame, Pour the oil and the rest of the seasoning items and after the mustard seeds splutter and the rest of the items are done, add the chopped green tomatoes and chopped green chillies and saute them. (Make sure it doesn't get burnt by stirring it occasionally)
After about 7-9 min, add turmeric, salt and sugar and mix well and let the tomatoes cook for a while.
After the tomatoes are cooked and become mushy, switch off the flame.
Let the mixture cool down and then grind it to a fine paste (Some like it as a coarse grind too!).
Enjoy it with steaming rice and ghee. Some like it with Idli, Dosa or Vada too.
