Author has written 7 stories for Yu Yu Hakusho, Wolf's Rain, Misc. Anime/Manga, and Avengers.
You'd like to know more about me? Really?! Well, okay. :)
I'm a proud American that loves to daydream, work with animals, and write. I've joined this site back in '08 and over that space of time, I like to think that my writing has evolved for the better. No Long in the Human World to my latest work is a fine example. When I first began writing, I strickly only wrote anime, now; however, I'm starting to write with "real people." Princess of Asgard (PoA) is my first "real people" fanfic and I have more swirling around in my head. My forte is mostly fantasy/sci-fi/supernatural and romance; I have a feeling I'd suck at writing mystery, since I'm so blunt.
Although I love all my stories, I kinda lost the umph to continue writing my anime stories faithfully. MARVEL, Supernatural, and Phantom of the Opera have stolen my heart for the time being. I'm now into the habit of writing more chapters before posting them. That is... if people review/follow them. ;)

Original Image from Extinctions
The trilobites are an extinct group of arthropods that lived in the seas of the world for about 380 million years, from the Precambrian 610 MYA (million years ago) to around the end of the Permian 230 MYA.
Everything we know about Trilobites therefore is derived from fossils, nobody has ever seen a live one. The trilobites were a very successful group of animals with more than 15,000 species being known to science and more being discovered every year. A result of the basic robustness of the general arthropod design of external body skeleton, jointed limbs and segmented body plan. These species are divided into 150 families and 5,000 genera.
While trilobites all follow a similar basic plan with 15,000 species there is considerable scope for variety and trilobites come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The smallest are about 1 mm long while the largest reach to 750 mm (over two feet), however within this range most species were between only 30 and 80 millimetres long (1 to 2.5 inches).
The basic trilobite body consists of three sections; a head called a cephalon, a thorax and a pygidium. the head was protected by a single large plate of exoskeleton (chitin) called a cephalic shield. this was originally derived from 5 (in most species) smaller plates which have become fused together. The thorax is composed of a series of practically identical segments enclosed in a series of plates. These plates, one per segment, overlapped posteriorly (towards the back of the animal) like tiles on the roof of a house. This arrangement allows the animal some freedom of movement, and many trilobites were capable of rolling themselves up into a ball much like modern day woodlice, or pill-millipedes. The pygidium is the tail end of the animal, like the cephalon it is comprised of several fused plates, generally it was smaller than the cephalon.
The thoracic segments all have two grooves running across (from front to back), the combined effect of these is to make the animal look as if it has its thorax divided into 3 longitudinal sections. It is this that gives the animals their name, tri for three and lobita from lobe hence tri-lobite = three-lobed.
Among the large diversity that includes the trilobites are many species that had a variety of spines extending from various parts of the body, in some species these spines became quite elaborate as in this specimen of Dicranurus monstrosus. Scientists believe these spines could have served a dual purpose of protection against predators, and as flotation devices to help spread the animals weight when it was feeding on the surface of soft mud.
Attached to the head were several sets of limbs and one pair of antennae, these antennae were long and thin (filiform) such as those of a cockroach. They are rarely preserved in fossils and should not be confused with the horns found on the cephalic shield of some species such as this Asephas punctatus.
The remaining segments of the body each held a pair of limbs, these limbs were, unlike those of modern-day crustaceans, all very similar. This is one of the outstanding characteristics of the trilobites, the fact that they showed practically not variation in the form of the limbs at all. The legs of trilobites were biramous with an inner walking branch and an outer gill bearing branch both arising from the first segment, the coxa.
The walking leg had a further six similar segments and the gill bearing leg had a variable number of segments. In some species the terminal segments were much flattened and thus enlarged scientist believe they may have been used for swimming or for digging into mud. The walking leg is often called the teleopodite or inner ramus and the gill leg is called the outer ramus. Alternatively the walking leg can be called the endopodite and the gill leg the exopodite as in crustaceans, however the scientists believe the biramous legs of crustaceans and trilobites are not homologous. The pygidium bears two appendages like shortened antennae, they are called cerci, as they are in the insects.Trilobites have two sets of eyes, these are compound eyes meaning they are composed of a number of single lens units, often called ommatidia. Crustaceans and insects also have compound eyes, but those of trilobites are different in their structure, some of them demonstrate principles of physics that modern scientists have only recently discovered. The lenses are crystalline and quite unique, we know nothing about the nerve supporting the eyes, or anything else of the nervous system of trilobites, however given their morphological complexity they must have had a brain of sorts and a nervous system radiating from it. Because trilobites lived in a great diversity of habitats there is a wide range in the form of the eyes found within the group. Obviously active hunters have larger, better eyes than those that live in burrows and filter feed.
The cepahlic shield extends under the animal as well as on top of it, this means the animal's mouth has to be placed somewhat anterior to the foremost part of the animal. It is in fact at the posterior edge of the hypostome. The hypostome is a concave structure thought to house the mouth and the oral cavity, it is also point of origin of the antennae which pass through two lateral notches in it. The shape and structure of the hypostome is important in taxonomy and has been used by paleoecologists to support various claims concerning the feeding habits of different species of trilobite.
Food would pass forwards along the digestive tract towards the front of the animal and its stomach before making a U-turn to pass through the intestines to reach the subterminal (before the end of the body) anus.
With 15,000 known species it is obvious that trilobites occupied a variety of niches, much the way crustaceans do today, and scientists believe that many were detritivores feeding on the organic matter found bottom mud, some even lived in burrows. Some are believed to have been filter-feeders, some carnivores and some lived more active lives, maybe even living permanently as part of the large community of organisms that lives near the seas surface. Some species are also known to have lived on the deep sea floor, in areas where the mud is anoxic (has no oxygen) and it is suspected that these species may have had symbiotic bacteria living in their tissues, such as their gills, much as many modern day creatures do who live in these extreme environments.
No trilobite species lived all through the 380 million years that they existed, most species survived for only a few million years, this makes them very useful to geologists as known species can be used to identify the age of rocks in other places than where they were first identified. Some trilobites had very limited distributions as far as we know, but others have been found from all over the world. At one site in Wales in the UK, ten different species have been found together.
Trilobites had three distinct stages to their life cycles, and unlike insects, they grew and moulted throughout each of these stages. The first stage was most probably planktonic, it is called a Protaspis and consisted of little more than a small cephalon. The second stage is called the Meraspis and during this stage the animal is seen to have both a cephalon and a pygidium but no thorax. During the third and final stage it is called a Holaspis, it now has all three body sections but it still has considerable growing to do before it becomes an adult.The higher classification of the Arthropoda is still in a state of considerable dispute amongst the experts. Therefore unless you are actually doing research into this area of classification it is relatively safe to use a simple scheme such as that described on this site. Here the Arthropoda are a phylum which is divided into at least 4 subphyla, three of which are still extant (have living members); Chelicerata, Crustacea and Uniramia (See Arthropoda). The trilobites are included in a separate subphylum called Trilobitomorpha (Trilobite like animals), within which the trilobites comprise a class, class Trilobita, this class in turn contains 8 orders.
Phylum Arthropoda
Subphylum Trilobitomorpha
Class Trilobita
Order Agnostida
Order Redlichiida
Order Corynexochida
Order Lichida
Order Phacopida
Order Proetida
Order Asaphida
Order Ptchyopariida
While trilobites, with there obvious successfulness as a group of animals, continue to fascinate many people, and even though modern research techniques continue to improve there is still much about the ordinary everyday lives of trilobites that remains a mystery. Never-the-less they remain a fascinating part of the history of life on this planet and I hope you have been able to enjoy this brief introduction to them.

One-year-old boy honored at Grand Island blood drive
September 29, 2014
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — An American Red Cross blood drive will be held Wednesday, Oct. 1 in honor of 1-year-old Mason Scholz who has overcome incredible medical trials in the first year of his life.
Mason was not even 10 months old when he was diagnosed with E.Coli in July. His doctors believe he was exposed while visiting cattle at the fair. His parents knew it was severe when Mason stopped eating and drinking and would sleep all day. In August, he was diagnosed with Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome, a complication of E.Coli that destroys red blood cells and has the potential to cause kidney failure. He was flown to Children's Hospital in Omaha where he immediately received a blood transfusion.
"All I could do as I watched this blood go into my sick little boy was thank God for whoever our donor was," said Mason's mom, Stacy Scholz. "This person donated selflessly and is saving our son's life."
Doctors say if Mason had arrived just a day later he likely would have required dialysis. Today, he is a happy little boy who got to celebrate his first birthday at home in Grand Island alongside his parents and three older brothers on Sept. 20.
Donate Blood in Honor of Mason Scholz
Wednesday, October 1
11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
First Presbyterian Church
2103 W. Anna St., Grand Island
To schedule an appointment to donate, call Gayle at (308)382-7545 or visit redcrossblood.org.
"Whether you donate all the time or this would be your first donation, we would be so happy to see anyone and everyone come out," Stacy said. "You don't know how much it means until you're on the receiving end. These donors, in my eyes, are angels in disguise."
How to donate blood
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

It's Saturday!!! Time for a New Challenge at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers
For the second year of challenges the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers brings you H is for Pink Halloween. We had so much fun last year with the challenge we knew we had to do it again. I got a super cute Halloween sweetie from That Craft Place Ltd. coloured her in dark grey and pink. Let's not delay any longer ~~ here is my card for the challenge.
As you see I'm home from the cottage, no outside pictures, (insert sad face) It was way too windy to try taking a picture outside anyway. I stamped the patterned paper with versamark watermark and embossed it in black, although you can't really see it well it is bare trees with owls on it, since my craft supplies are in boxes I am not sure the company but got it last year in a clearance bin at the Butterfly Moon. I fussy cut the image, made a frame with the decorative oval and regular oval, layered on pink and mounted it on a black base.
Close up of the super sweet image, and you can see the patterned paper.
As usual I haven't located the one and only Halloween sentiment I have so this is still blank.
I would like to enter this in:
Thanks for visiting today and get your Halloween stamps out and pair it with pink and enter our Pink Halloween challenge ~~ you know you want to.

Raipur: In a shocking incident being reported from the biggest Naxal-hit state in India, Chattisgarh, two people were nabbed by the Raipur Police for illegally setting up an arms modification and repair workshop right in the middle of the city.
As per the police report, out of the two accused, was identified as a homoeopath. A large cache of weapons and ammunitions were seized including a modified .315-bore rifle and a 12-guage gun from the workshop setup in a multi-storeyed house.
The accused were later identified as Aniruddha Chatterjee and Rajesh Pal who had set up the workshop at his house in Tagore Nagar in Raipur.
Speaking on the matter, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) (Crime Branch) Ajatshatru Bahadur Singh said Chatterjee and Pal, both 38, were booked for possessing illegal arms and ammunition, and as per the preliminary investigation, the recovered items do not have any link with the Naxals.
Besides the two guns, 32 revolvers, 148 'live' rounds of different guns, 529 empty cartridges, 1 box of gunpowder, 10 pieces of air gun parts, 8 pieces of revolver grips, 1 air gun barrel, 1 rifle handle, 1 cutter machine, 20 bows, dummy guns and several tools and machines were recovered, ASP said.

— ANI (@ANI_news) August 29, 2016
According to one of the accused, Aniruddha Chatterjee, he had set up the facility because he was 'passionate' about possessing weapons and their modification and was not involved in their illegal sale.
The police are trying to ascertain the source of the arms and ammunition recovered from the site.

Anyone using Rich Dealers marketing services?
I sat through their presentation and ran with them for about four months and for my store it was not at all successful. We found it to be expensive.
Our group of 4 uses Del Mar Advertising - United Nissan, Pacific Nissan, Tustin Nissan, and Corona Nissan. These guys are great, and know how to bring in the traffic. Check them out http://delmaradv.com/
I went through their sales pitch a couple weeks ago. I decided to pass. Here is the thing that I believe vendors in our industry need to understand, and many of them don't. Our industry is changing. Our customers want something different than they once did. Our customers do not want to be treated the way that our industry treated them in the past. Our customers prefer a more "transparent" experience. This vendor had me on a Go To Meeting conference for over 45 minutes, and I still had absolutely no idea what it was that they were selling, and I had no idea how much it was going to cost. After about the 5th trial close they put on me, I finally just told the guy "No offense, but you have been at this for almost an hour, and I still have no f-ing idea what you are selling!!" They wanted $3,000 a month to design my radio, TV, and Social Media, etc., and they are "closely tied" to the staffed event industry. I talked to a guy that is on their program. He spends about $5,000/month with them and another $25,000/month in Radio, TV, Direct Mail, etc.. Rumor has it that the "references" are actually partners in the marketing company. For me, I need to do business with vendors that treat me the same way that my customers want to be treated. It just wasn't a good match for me.
We use a local agency for traditional and launch for digital
Is it just me or has there been an influx of snake oil salemen...errrr...vendors popping up all over the place lately? Recently had a demo with one conquest email company who all but admitted they buy millions of emails per quarter and then happily spam them with email blasts on behalf of their dealer clients. To top it off they somehow made it on to the approved vendor list for a certain manufacturer *facepalm*
Hey guys! I'm a little late to the party here, but figured I should chime in anyway. I'm one of the partners here at Rich Dealers. Of course, I realize you're looking for feedback and input from other dealers, not from us, but maybe I can help and add some value nonetheless. We are decidedly NOT for everybody. We're so aware of this fact that we've intentionally set up our program so that there's never any kind of a term commitment. Our members stay with us because they love us, and because it works. And if they don't like it, or don't feel like Rich Dealers is a fit, they can cancel any time. The neat part about this is that it incentivizes us to deliver our best work, best ideas, and best results every month. We're only as good as the results our members got last month. It definitely lights a flame under all of our chairs here at our office. It has the added benefit of ensuring that our membership is only ever comprised of people who want to be here, want to be part of something fun and positive, want to learn from others, and want others to learn from them. We have built a unique and powerful group of dealers and managers that most people are really proud to be a part of. Of course, our approach seems a bit unconventional because we don't subscribe to the common thinking that says all car sales are made on price. We believe customers make buying decisions based on a number of criteria, and price is often the most important criteria only in the absence of other value. Our goal is to help dealerships maximize the value they deliver to their customers (through experience, solutions, confidence, expertise) so they don't have to rely on price as their only differentiating factor. Add to that our campaigns, web strategy and media approach which often multiply the number of leads coming into a dealership by 10x, and you have a winning combination. Customers are happy and excited to buy from you, your employees are happy and excited to work for you, and you're happy to see sales and profit increase simultaneously. I'm embarrassed to admit that we have had our fair share of goofball sales people (haven't we all?), and that some of them have failed to be engaging, useful, interesting, or helpful whatsoever. And, based on feedback from dealers, we've recently dramatically shortened the length of our initial presentation to dealers/managers so that prospective members can get the gist of the idea in 15 minutes, and if they choose to learn more and explore the opportunity more deeply they can. Three quick, but really important points: (1) We're media-neutral. We help dealers generate results through all media (radio, TV, paid search, other digital, print, mail) and don't have any specific media that we sell ourselves (in other words, we don't have a direct mail piece that we're trying to sell). Instead we help each member determine what media would be the best choice for their market, their budget, and their goals, and then guide them through the process of leveraging that media to the fullest, using the creative approach we provide. Advertising budgets among our members range from $5,000 per month on the low side to $250,000 per month on the high side. But the amount spent on advertising is meaningless—what's important is the return on that investment, and ultimately, the net profit. (2) Our references and testimonials are from real dealers who have achieved real results with our program, and have volunteered to share their experience out of appreciation for the impact we have made on their life and business. The suggestion that our references are partners is false. The only partners in our business are me and Jimmy Vee, and it's been that way from the day we started back in 2004. (3) We are not affiliated with the staffed event industry, and never have been. I'm not even sure where that idea could come from. To my knowledge we've never recommended a staffed event to anybody, though I do know that from time to time some of our members do host staffed event sales, with a range of results. If it would be helpful, I would be delighted to arrange a private conversation between you (or any dealer or GM) and Jim and me. We'll learn about any challenges you might be facing, give you some ideas and strategies for improvement, and help you determine if Rich Dealers would be a good fit for your business.

California Ballet Company is proud to announce the appointment of Jared Nelson as the new Associate Artistic Director. Mr. Nelson will focus on expanding CBC's repertoire to include works of current choreographers, assist in planning and acquiring productions, and represent the company in the community. Mr. Nelson often chooses innovative new works that include live music, multiple dance genres and something out of the ordinary to draw in a more diverse audience. California Ballet's Founding Director, Maxine Mahon, commented on…
There have been so many stagings and re-stagings of this classic romantic tragedy that it would be impossible to count all of them. Suffice it to say that Romeo & Juliet is arguably Shakespeare's most popular and most enduring play. Long before Leo courted Claire the basic story of the star-crossed lovers began to enthrall readers and audiences.
As we approach our 500th performance of The Nutcracker at the San Diego Civic Theatre, we can't help but think about why we love calling it home! Here are the top 10 reasons there's no place like the Civic.
If you've seen The Nutcracker, it's probably been from the audience. The ballet seen through a dancer's eyes is very different than what you're probably used to. 1. What you see before the curtain rises. San Diego Theatres, Inc. – What we see before the curtain rises. Brad Matthews, California Ballet Company…
Meet Ana da Costa, our newest Principal dancer! Ana joined us for our 47th season and we are very pleased to welcome her back for our 48th. Most recently, you may recognize her as Myrtle from our production of The Great Gatsby. Soloist Tess Lane sat down with Ana to learn a little more about Ana's the international ballet world and Ana's favorite things. Tess Lane: Let's start at the beginning. How did you…
Dancing the role of Clara in The Nutcracker is every young girl's dream when they are dancer. We recently caught up with Miss Julia Dawson, one of the three young ladies sharing the role of Clara this year in California Ballet Company's The Nutcracker. Julia was asked to guest Blog for us and share what it means to her to be Clara.
Written by: Soloist Tess Lane A big thank you to our audiences for your support of our premier of The Great Gatsby! The applause and standing ovations proved that our weeks and weeks of hard work paid off. Our audiences' energy and enthusiasm in the theater fills us all with incredible joy.
You've seen the legs all over town in San Diego. They're on billboards. They've been online. They've been in the newspaper. Perhaps you went to see a production at The Old Globe or the San Diego Civic Theatre, opened the program . . . and there they were: legs in mid-Charleston proclaiming that The Great Gatsby is coming to San Diego!
For our first program of the season, Septime Webre's The Great Gatsby, we are extremely fortunate to have principal guest artists Jared Nelson and Kirsten Bloom Allen join us to portray Jay Gatsby and Daisy Fay Buchanan.
Rehearsals are already underway for our first production, the West Coast premier of Septime Webre's The Great Gatsby. This production premiered at the Kennedy Center with the Washington Ballet. We're very excited about the new choreography as well as some company promotions and many new dancers and guest artists.

I get the following error when I click the Naturalize button, any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
The column 'CurrentMember_Name' was specified multiple times for 'Level2Subselect'.
Hi Peter,
I fixed a problem for this in recent build but it may not be published yet. Did you try downloading the latest source code and running directly from Visual
Studio? This might contain the fix. I think I may not have updated the binary version yet but the source was checked in for that one. Let me know if it persists though.
Could you possibly send me a sample of your data if the issue does persist? I will try to reproduce it to fix if it isn't fixed yet.

I know purists shudder when they see painted furniture, but I love the occasional mix of a colored table with natural wood chairs. That green table is beautiful.ReplyDelete
How wonderful is that table with the mid-century chairs!
As Dana so rightly said the folks who OCD over wood might not like it but having lived in a log house I can promise you that all wood...all the time...gets very tired very quickly.
This is far more jazzy and I'm very tempted to loose the mid-century set I have now and do this to a table so I can use my stashed Thonet chairs.
You've made my day - I love hearing from you! I approve comments only to keep out the spam, so don't worry if your comment doesn't pop up right away.

With a little help from a parent or older sibling, younger children will have fun making these simple apple tree crafts to hang on the refrigerator or decorate their rooms.
What you will need:
• Green, brown and red construction paper
• One piece of your favorite color construction paper for a background
• Scissors
• A pencil
• Glue
• Crayons
1. Starting with brown construction paper, draw and cut out a rectangular-shaped tree trunk about six inches long.
2. Cut a rounded, fluffy shape out of the green construction paper for the leaves of the tree.
3. Glue the tree trunk to the bottom of the leaves, then glue the tree to your background construction paper.
4. Use the red construction paper to make lots of red apples.
5. Glue the apples to the green leaves of the tree. Some of the kids at the library even used a crayon to make apple stems.

A person is entitled to defend themselves, if they wish, in criminal proceedings. However, lawyers have long said that "he or she who represents themself has a fool for a client," and even if that seems self-serving coming from lawyers, there is some truth to the idea. The legal system is complicated, and when your liberty is at risk the assistance of an attorney is invaluable. When you need legal help with criminal charges there are a number of options.
Finding a Lawyer
If you or a loved one have been arrested or made the subject of a criminal investigation, you may need the immediate assistance of an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Unlike civil court cases, where money or property may be at stake, people suspected of committing a crime will see their fundamental freedoms put in jeopardy, and should act quickly to make sure that their rights are protected by an experienced criminal defense attorney.
A privately retained attorney will be willing to spend time explaining your situation, discussing defense options, and working out how your case may impact your life outside the courtroom.
Search the FindLaw Lawyer Directory for a Criminal Defense Attorney near you.
If You Cannot Afford a Lawyer
At most steps in the criminal justice process, the U.S. Constitution guarantees the assistance of an attorney to almost all people who have been charged with a crime. This means that, even if you cannot afford to hire a criminal defense lawyer for yourself or a loved one, the government will provide you with a lawyer free of charge. Usually employed by the government as "public defenders," these attorneys are responsible for zealously protecting a criminal defendant's rights at all stages of the criminal process -- from arrest to appeal.
Most courts either have permanent staff or have a system to appoint private attorneys to defend indigent defendants. In either case, these attorneys typically deal with a large caseload and receive little compensation. This means that an appointed attorney may not have much time outside of the courtroom to confer with the defendant. These attorneys are typically well-experienced and competent, but have less time or patience for discussion of the case.
Some courts will investigate a defendant's employment and property ownership and can refuse access to a free attorney if they feel that the individual can afford to hire a private lawyer. A public defender will not participate in any related civil proceedings, such as a personal injury lawsuit filed alongside criminal charges for assault. A private attorney is not limited in this manner and may be willing to represent you in both actions.
To learn more about the right to counsel, go here.
Need Help With Your Case? Speak With An Attorney For Free
If you're facing criminal charges, having a skilled attorney early in the process could make the difference in your case. After all, an attorney can help to shape the evidence in the record and can also negotiate for reduced or alternative charges. If you're concerned about the costs of hiring an attorney, you can at least receive a free initial review of your case from an attorney near you today.
Contact a qualified criminal lawyer to make sure your rights are protected.

Sunday was the first of a once-monthly series of culinary demonstrations at the Hillsdale Farmers Market, given by yours truly, Kathryn Yeomans, of Sage Culinary Advice. In a "Salute to Spring", I shopped the market, talking to farmers, and choosing ingredients that were very fresh, and very "of the season". I also brought to the table ingredients that either the farmer chose, thinking them exemplary of their best ingredient of the moment (Valentine cheese from Ancient Heritage Dairy), or that they wanted to see in action (hazlenuts from Greenville Farm). My intent was to shed some light on the thought process of shopping the market without a plan, then letting the ingredients guide the menu. It's a whole different mindset than grocery store shopping, list in hand. And you get to ask the person who produced your food about what it is you'll be eating, important in this time of uncertainty about our national food system. Plus, it can result in some very interesting facts, and even more interesting stories!
For example, Paul from Ancient Heritage Dairy guided me to the Valentine cheese for my demo. I was happy to accept, knowing firsthand that this particular creamy, bloomy rind cheese is remarkable. As I began to wander away, I overheard Paul say to a shopper that it would only be available until July. I doubled back – I didn't know this, and was curious as to why.
Right now, Paul explained, the grass is the best of the year. It is at its sweetest, lush and rich with over 20% protein content. The Valentine produced now is resonant with those springtime sweet creamy flavors of the milk. By July, the grass is more mature. The protein content diminishes, and as the grass begins to seed, its flavor changes. Valentine made with milk later in the season is less creamy-sweet. It becomes herby, mushroomy. A very different cheese. You just can't get that information at the grocery store from reading the label! Not to mention the charm of a farmer talking about his product.
Here are the ingredients I gathered, and the resulting dishes:
- strawberries and chive blossoms from Stephen's Farm
- hazelnuts from Greenville Farm
- black kale (aka cavalo nero, aka dinosaur kale, aka lacinato kale) from Deep Roots Farm
- Pacific black cod (sable fish) from Linda Brand Crab Seafood
- purple broccoli from Happy Harvest Farm
- Valentine cheese from Ancient Heritage Dairy
- Lemon-dill vinegar from Blossom Vinegars
- Mint from Gathering Together Farm
A Very Vernal Menu:
Salad: Black Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette & Pecorino Romano Cheese
Entrée: Baked Black Cod with Spring Salsa Verde & Sautéed Purple Broccoli
Cheese Course: Valentine Cheese & Sliced Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar & Toasted Hazlenuts
Black Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette & Pecorino Romano Cheese
Salad market ingredients: black kale, lemon-dill vinegar
Black Kale is delicious sautéed, and essential to classic minnestrone soup, but early and late in the season, when the weather is still quite cold (early spring and late autumn through winter), it has a flavor that is sweet and crisp enough to be used as a salad green.
Strip the leaves from the tougher rib. Chiffonade the leaves – stack several leaves one on top of another, then roll them into a cylinder, like a fat cigar. Cut the cylinder crosswise into thin slices, taking care in the process not to crush and bruise the leaves. With your fingers, fluff and separate the strips. Add them to a bowl, and grate Pecorino Romano or Parmiggiano Reggiano cheese over the leaves. You can also use a local grating cheese, in fact this may be preferable – just explain the salad to your favorite cheese vendor, and ask their advice on an appropriate cheese selection.
Make a quick vinaigrette by whisking together lemon-flavored vinegar and good tasting extra virgin olive oil. The ratio of vinegar to oil will be approximately 1:3. So, to 1 tablespoon vinegar, you would add 3 tablespoons of oil, adjusting with a little more oil or vinegar to suit your taste. Season the dressing to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Add the dressing to the kale and cheese, and toss to combine. Adjust with more cheese or dressing to taste.
Baked Black Cod with Spring Salsa Verde & Sautéed Purple Broccoli
Entrée market ingredients: black cod, mint, chive blossoms, lemon-dill vinegar, purple broccoli
Black cod, or sable fish, is a very rich tasting firm, flaky white fish. During the demo, I asked the audience how they would like to see me prepare the fish – and explained that I could sauté, bake, pan fry, or bake the fish in a parchment package. A gentleman spoke up – "We're working people, we want the fastest way!" Excellent point. I explained that pan frying or sautéing would be the fastest cooking method, but that if you just throw it in the oven, you can do your other dinner prep while it's in there. So we did just that.
Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet, lay the fish in the pan, skin side down, and season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. When the oven is hot, place the fish in to bake. Note – bake until the fish is fairly firm, but not dry – cooking time depends on the size of the piece of fish. You can take a thin-bladed knife and gently pry a little between the "flakes" of fish to check – it should be a creamy white color, and moist.
While the fish is baking, make the salsa verde. Take a slice of stale country-style bread (such as a leftover piece of ciabatta from dinner the night before), and soak it in some of the leftover vinaigrette that you made for the salad above. Alternatively, sprinkle it with a little of the lemon-dill vinegar (or tarragon vinegar, or champagne vinegar, or white wine vinegar), and let that soak into the bread. Chop some mint and soft chives (not the hard stems that the chive blossoms perch atop, but the tender blades) and add them to a bowl along with a few rough chopped green olives (such as Sicilian castelvetrano olives) and a filet of anchovy that has been chopped and mashed to a paste. Crumble in the bread (not too fine, you want slightly smaller than crouton sized pieces), and season/moisten all with good flavored extra-virgin olive oil. Season as needed with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Top the fish with the salsa, then garnish with the lovely, mildly oniony flavored chive blossoms (which can also be used as a soup garnish, a salad herb, atop a pasta, or as a flavoring agent in making chive blossom vinegar).
For the broccoli, which in this case is thin and tender, heat some good quality olive oil in a sauté pan. Add the broccoli and season with salt, and cook over medium heat for several minutes until done, tossing frequently. If needed, a tablespoon or two of water can be added to the pan to create steam to facilitate cooking.
Valentine Cheese & Sliced Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar & Toasted Hazelnuts
cheese plate market ingredients: strawberries, Valentine cheese, hazlenuts
Slice the strawberries, and drizzle with the best balsamico you can afford. In my ideal world, the really expensive one that I brought home in my purse from a fantasy trip to Italy. This combination of strawberries and aged balsamico is a classic Italian pairing. Good flavored balsamic vinegar that has been reduced in a pan until slightly thickened makes an acceptable substitute. Alternatively, inquire with a local vinegar producer whether she might have a vinegar that would work with strawberries in this type of preparation.
Slice the cheese and arrange on a plate with the strawberries. Garnish with hazelnuts.

According to reports filtering out of Ikeja, Lagos State, Yoruba movie producer, Seun Egbegbe was arrested this morning at Computer village, for allegedly stealing iPhones.
Reports making rounds online which has already gone viral on social media, is alleging that Seun Egbegbe, the estranged lover of popular Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu, was arrested yesterday at the popular Computer village, for allegedly stealing iPhones.
The movie producer and the CEO of Ebony films production, has since been handed over to the police, after an angry mob gave him some beating for the alleged theft.
It was gathered from online sources that Egbegbe had gone to a certain Keelcech Innovations Store in computer village, took two iPhone 7 phones and some iPhone 6+ and told the sales girl he was coming, and then crossed to enter a taxi.
Contrary to a report claiming that Seun Egbegbe was neither arrested nor beaten by any mob, video evidence of the film-maker's arrest has emerged as he spends the second day in police custody.
Seun Egbegbe, the estranged lover of popular Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu, was arrested at the popular Computer village in Ikeja for allegedly stealing iPhones, a report and statement credited to Seun Egbegbe claimed that he was neither arrested nor beaten by any mob.
The statement read in part, "The story is pretty laughable and better left in the court of public opinion. Ordinarily, I do not want to join issues with the writer of the publication, but I have a responsibility to set the records straight for my fans, friends and foes, in the defence of the truth.
"To say the least, the news did not only grossly misinform unsuspecting public; it also portrays traces of campaign of calumny by some mercenary hell bent on destroying my name, for reasons best known to them."
Events took a new twist on Wednesday afternoon when reports emerged that the film-maker was still spending time in police custody for stealing.
GoldMyne TV reported: "Earlier today Seun Egbegbe Allegedly released a statement stating he is chilling in his House, well that can be true because (Who ever steals can lie)
"However #GoldmyneTV Visited Area F Divisional Police Station today and we can categorically tell you that Seun Egbegbe is CHILLING Behind Bars (Police Cell) and not in his House as he claims
"So Who is actually chilling in Seun Egbegbe's House?"
Meanwhile video evidence has emerged where an eyewitness gave an account of the Seun Egbegbe iPhone theft saga at Computer Village, saying it's his 6th time.
Another video evidence of Seun Egbegbe's arrest has also emerged as he spends the second day in custody as the Nigerian Police in Lagos is set to issue a statement today, Thursday.

So I saw these pillows ages ago on Land Of Nod and didn't actually end up buying them before they sold out but I totally wish I did. But they looked pretty simple to try and re-create and I always thought it might be fun to make something with a world map on it, so last night, on Earth Day eve, I decided to become an epic crafter.
Of course mine was done in sparkly gold and I took some liberty with the design. (Like some countries might actually be a little missing and the bodies of water might be wider where I thought it might look better that way. Small things, really, right?) Now, a lot of people talk about using freezer paper to make stencils and that is a really good idea because it doesn't disintegrate when you paint over them like regular paper does. But I was just making a one time stencil so I printed out a world map and cut it into a stencil. And the stencil became totally mushy, but it lasted long enough to get the job done.
I taped it onto a blue pillow I bought at Ikea ages ago. In some ways this might have been a more earth-friendly option than buying the other pillows online due to saving packaging plastic and cardboard. And if I don't like this pillow in a few months, I can always re-purpose it by giving it a new cover. The paint was also left-over from another project so I'm pretty proud of myself for not rushing out to buy anything specific for this craft last night.
I liked how the map turned out but I thought it needed something more. And then it hit me. (Thank you Earth Day epiphany!) You have the whole world in your hands, kid. Right now the idea of handing over any kind of decision making power to a 4-year old just sounds crazy but one day this guy and his brother are going to grow up and then it's totally up to them and all their little friends as to decide what's going to happen on our planet. How are they going to help it out? Are they going to be kind and resourceful citizens? Are they going to care about how their actions affect others as they grow? And right now, how can I guide them as a mother to see how huge an impact they can make over time?
We started earth day with a painted pillow and some words and talked about how we could take care of the little things that we know about. I hope over time this grows into a beautiful conversation but maybe it's the small starting steps that are the most important.
(PS. Then we walked to school.)
PPS. While walking they reminded me that I had forgotten Hawaii on my map. And maybe there's a little glimmer of hope for the world right there.)

Credit Where It's Due for Cold War's End
Published: November 6, 1992
To the Editor:
In "The G.O.P. Won the Cold War? Ridiculous" (Op-Ed, Oct. 28), George F. Kennan states that neither political party can claim credit for victory in the cold war: it belongs to the people who resisted Communism, to Americans of both parties willing to bear the human and material costs, to their allies. But if President Bush takes the blame for America's plight in the global economic recession, why deny him recognition for a happy event that occurred on his watch?
Mr. Kennan characterizes as childish the notion that United States policies could have decidedly affected domestic Soviet affairs because "no great country has that sort of influence on the internal developments of any other one." This statement is astonishing for two reasons:
(1) It was the fundamental premise of Mr. Kennan's recommendations of the 1940's that containment would encourage an internal implosion in the Soviet Union. As he expressed it in the famous "Mr. X" article of 1947, "it is entirely possible for the United States to influence by its actions the internal developments, both within Russia, and throughout the international Communist movement."
(2) In the same breath in which he now denies we had the ability to promote the collapse of Communism, he blames alleged American belligerency for the tightening of party and political controls in the Soviet Union during the cold war. For no obvious reason, we could exert an influence on the internal course of the Soviet Union, but only of a baneful nature.
In the 1970's and 80's Mr. Kennan repeatedly warned that the cold war was leading to World War III. Happily, he was wrong. Rather than concede this, he now blames us for having prolonged the cold war. He is at odds with the historical record, the views of those who administer today's Russia and his own previously held opinions.

- 1/2 pound crab, picked over for cartilage (lump and flake), lightly squeeze drained in a paper towel
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons egg, beaten
- Zest of 1/2 lime
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt and 12-15 cranks of cracked pepper
- Panko
- Lemon water
- 1 avocado
- 2 teaspoons lime
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 small clove garlic, paste
- Mix together all crab cake ingredients. Using a small scoop, scoop out crab mix and shape into a small (1 ½ inch wide x 1 inch high) hockey puck shape with straight sides. Using the scoop can help make uniform cakes. Dip your fingertips in the lemon water bowl and slightly moisten outside edges to help adhere the panko but not heavily. Place panko breadcrumbs in shallow bowl. Coat in crumbs and press on as much as you can without misshaping the cake. Do all crab cakes and let chill in fridge while you make the avocado crème. In a food processor, puree avocado, lime, salt, and garlic until smooth. Place puree in a pastry bag, ziploc bag, or large mouth squeeze bottle and refrigerate. In a saucepan, heat 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat until you throw in a few panko crumbs and see if they sizzle up and start turning light brown right away. Gently place crab cakes in hot oil without overcrowding the pan .keeping in mind you have to have room to flip them over. When one side is a nice golden brown, use a small metal spatula or fork to gently turn over. Once they are browned well on both sides, let them drain on paper towels. Pipe with a dollap of avocado crème and serve. Serving Size Makes about 12 to 15 small crab cakes

Samantha Stevens, the director of licensing at Michigan State University, knew she wanted to start her career in sports and event marketing, and she found herself in the perfect position to achieve that goal shortly after graduating from college.
Stevens' foray into college athletics began with an internship at her alma mater, Wright State University, located in Dayton, Ohio.
"While at Wright State, I interned with the Ervin J. Nutter Center, which was our on-campus arena that housed our NCAA Division I basketball program and an East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) team, as well as hosted major concerts throughout the year," she says. "It was in that internship that I was able to help with sales and marketing efforts for concerts and events the arena was hosting, but I was also able to pitch in during minor league hockey games and Raider basketball games on the sports marketing side."
Upon graduating from Wright State, Stevens was offered a full-time position as a group sales coordinator at the Nutter Center. "I was in the right place at the right time," she says, "because about six months later and one week before basketball season began, the sports promotion director for the Wright State athletics department left his position." Needing to fill the vacancy quickly, the department turned to Stevens, whom they'd known from her work as an intern and as a full-time employee. That was the spring board for a nearly 12-year career in collegiate marketing and licensing.
"At Wright State, I fell in love with working on a college campus, working with students, and the excitement of working for many different sports teams," Stevens says. "I knew quickly that I always wanted to work on a college campus."
After working for the Raider athletic department for three years, Stevens realized she would need to look at other opportunities if she wanted to advance her career. She applied for a few jobs and was fortunate to land at Appalachian State University at a time when the Mountaineer football team was commanding a great deal of national attention for the Boone, N.C. school. Reflecting back on that move, Stevens exclaims, "Little did I know I was stepping into a gold mine!"
She began her duties as the App State director of marketing in 2006, and during her first year, the Mountaineers won their second straight I-AA football national title. Consequently, she was given the additional responsibility of managing the trademarks and licensing program for the entire university. The Mountaineers' success would then grab the attention of the entire country when the team began the 2007 season by knocking off No. 5 Michigan on the Wolverines' home turf. The squad would go on to claim the school's third consecutive national championship.
"It was an unbelievable year, and this was where my licensing career path started to gain some steam," Stevens recalls. "I was quickly thrown into the 'hot market' fire once we beat Michigan and didn't get a chance to catch my breath until the fall of 2008. It's very surreal looking back." Following that banner year, Stevens was promoted to assistant athletic director for marketing and licensing.
She would remain at Appalachian State until 2013 when an opportunity to return to her native Ohio presented itself. Not only was Miami University looking for a full-time licensing director to revamp its program, but by then Stevens and her husband were the parents of two small children, and the prospect of moving back to their native state to be closer to grandparents was an enticing one.
Stevens' stint at Miami was much shorter than she would have ever anticipated, as just a year-and-a-half after taking the position, Michigan State posted its opening for a new licensing director. "I decided to throw my resume into the ring and see if it got anywhere," she says. "My ultimate goal was to run a major BCS licensing program. Having always been a Big Ten fan, and with the geographic location still being close to family, it was a perfect fit." Stevens landed the job and began her new duties in December 2014. Hers is a unique position, as Michigan State is one of few major collegiate athletic departments with an independent licensing program. While she's no longer housed in collegiate athletics, she still works with the department on a regular basis and attends many sporting events throughout the year.
A typical day in the office includes reviewing new licensee applications, approving artwork, connecting with licensees about new product lines, and reviewing samples. She also travels a lot, meeting with licensees at their headquarters, attending industry tradeshows, and visiting retailers throughout the region.
"I love the excitement of hot markets and the success of our athletics program and how that drives increased revenue and royalties," Stevens says. "I also love that the royalties we generate support student scholarships and programming at MSU."
Having worked at smaller schools prior to accepting her current position at Michigan State, Stevens says she would love to see more retailers value those institutions and feature more of their products. "Alumni are very passionate about their schools, and they will buy products just as often as someone who attended a BCS school," she says. "The variety and availability of those products just isn't offered at most retailers. It's a battle over shelf space, and I get that, but I'd love to see more retailers give the local schools and the little guy a bigger chance."
In terms of her personal sports interests and memories, Stevens roots for the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Bears, and Ohio State Buckeyes – in addition to the Spartans, of course. "I'm an Ohio native, so it's pretty hard to quit cold turkey and not cheer for them anymore," she confesses. She says she will never forget that magical moment of watching the Appalachian State football team notch its improbable win over top-five Michigan in person. Her most cherished sports memories, however, are of attending Reds games with her dad. "If you achieved a certain GPA in high school, you received two free tickets from the Cincinnati Reds each year," she explains. "My dad and I would drive down and have the evening to ourselves. It was our alone time, and it was really special."
Stevens' advice to young women looking to break into collegiate athletics is to begin networking as soon as possible. "If you want to be in athletics, you need to start as an intern as soon as you can," she says. "There are relatively few jobs in athletics, and a lot of people crave these jobs. The more experience you can show, the better."
She also encourages young females to develop a thick skin. "Athletics is still a male-dominated industry, so you need to have a personality that you're willing to roll up your sleeves and pitch in at all times, plus be willing to stand up for yourself and not let others push you around."

No sitting back in shortened season
Credit: John Wilcox
The Bruins earned rave reviews when the curtain went up on the truncated 2013 season Saturday night at the Garden. A very familiar cast of characters, following an equally familiar script, outplayed a very talented New York Rangers squad most of the night en route to a 3-1 victory.
We will find out very quickly if this club is blessed with the attribute most important during this 48-game sprint to the post-season: Consistency.
There won't be much room for anything less, with every game, every point so vital. The B's host the Winnipeg Jets this afternoon.
"You want to build that consistency and confidence in your game, so you're coming to the rink every night knowing that you can win — and if you play the right way, you're giving yourself the best chance," Milan Lucic said.
"With all the emotion that went into (Saturday's game), I think the focus was there, too. We had an option (on whether to practice yesterday at the Garden or stay off ice) and the guys wanted to go out there and keep this going, keep the flow of things going."
As much as any team can in the 48-games-in-99-days schedule, the Bruins catch a bit of a break in the early weeks of the season. Five of their first seven games are at home, which can help them meet the challenge all teams face of trying to get up to mid-season form as quickly as possible.
There just won't be room for the sort of ups and down that plagued the B's the last four months of 2011-12.
"That's what important going into (today's) game," coach Claude Julien said. "We can't let a big game like the New York Rangers (win) and the way we played, (we can't) just sit on that. We've got to carry it through to the next game.
"There's no forgiving in a short schedule. You can't afford to sit on (a) past win and take that as automatic. We've got to start all over (today). That's part of what is going to make great teams — teams and individuals who are never satisfied and want to get more night after night. That's what we've got to create here."
That's just what the Bruins had last November and December, when they were virtually unbeatable. That nightly focus on playing the game the right way, and the near certainty it would pay off in two points. But then they lost it.
"It almost got like it was too easy," Lucic said. "We started being more focused on the scoring part and not the checking. That's where the season got away from us. Let's hope that we learned our lesson."
It sure looked that way against the Rangers, whom the B's play again in a very interesting rematch on Wednesday in Manhattan. The B's skated very well, kept their play simple, got pucks deep, and pressured the Rangers all over the ice. They appeared the better conditioned team, perhaps a reflection of their 12 guys who played in Europe (and a couple more who were in the AHL or juniors).
Every Bruin played well, including first-liners Lucic and Nathan Horton, neither of whom played during the lockout. Both had their feet moving well — not always the case in the past, but the key for each when playing his best.
"Milan, what he brought is what we expect from Milan," Julien said. "He was driving the net, he was a presence out there, he was physical. Obviously he had his mean face on. That's what makes him such a good player.
"And Nathan was going into corners, battling. He didn't fear anything. For a guy who hasn't played in a year for concussion reasons, those are good signs. He did a real job keeping the (skating) pace up from start to finish. He seems focused and really determined to come back this year and have a really good year."
Based on one game, that seems true for the team as well. The Bruins remember how it was when they were on fire early last season and they want that again.
"We were just focused every night on coming to the rink, playing and winning," Lucic said. "Things are best when there's no drama. We want to keep it that way."
No reason for any drama today. Just another win.

"Modern Love" by David Bowie. No idea why, but it feels so good!
The Princess Bride is probably about a damsel-in-distress princess (Claire Underwood before she figured out she's a badass) who's forced to marry someone she doesn't like (probably an asshole prince). But at her wedding reception, she secretly falls in love with Robin Hood: Man in Tights, and he whisks her away to his homeland, which is a long way away. I believe they run into some trolls and giants and probably dragons and witches, too. But they eventually make it and get married (her first marriage didn't really count), and they live happily ever after.
Response to It's Time To Play The Ctrl+V Game:
The typically turnt up singer looked uncharacteristically ladylike
Also important… Joe Jonas was there?!?!
SMARTIES. Smarties needs to be added to this list.
