Last year, Damien Flores and the rest of UNM's slam poetry team had to brave freezing temperatures and perpetual snowfall at the 2007 College National Poetry Slam in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
So they put in a bid to bring this year's championship to Burque.
"We knew it would be a monumentally better experience," Flores says. "The weather is much nicer this time of year than in other parts of the country, and we wanted the chance to show people how great our city is."
The Association of College Unions International accepted their bid, granting the UNM slam team its wish. More than 100 college slam poets from 24 schools across the country are descending upon the Duke City this week, looking to showcase their chops and compete for the national title. "The talent level of these writers and performers is very high," Flores asserts. "People can get a taste of poetry from different regions of the country, and I think they'll be surprised by the diversity of the performers in the slam."
After winning the College National Poetry Slam in 2006 and placing second last year, UNM team member Aaron Cuffee is cautiously optimistic about his team's chances to take the national crown again. "We like to think we're just as talented and capable as anyone we see," Cuffee says. "We're going up against the best, and that's the situation we want to be in."
Flores says that while some slam poets are comfortable going on stage and improvising a poem on the spot, most have to spend months writing, editing and practicing their pieces before they're sharp enough to stand up to the competition. The UNM squad has been practicing every week since February, putting together group poems and working out the nuances in their performance. "I think some people might not understand the preperation involved in slam poetry," Flores says. "There's a lot of memorizing and working out the kinks that happens before we go on stage."
In past years, poets have been cooped up in student union buildings or in their hotels during national competitions, with little opportunity to explore the host cities. Flores and his fellow organizers wanted to change that by adding a couple of choice venues for this year's event. The preliminary rounds will take place at the UNM Student Union Building, while the National Hispanic Cultural Center and El Rey Theater will host the semi-finals and finals, respectively.
"We wanted to give the poets a taste of the diversity in Albuquerque," Flores explains. "They'll see the campus, but we wanted to show them Barelas, Downtown and Nob Hill as well."
Event organizers were also able to convince multimedia and bilingual performance group Verbobala to perform at the finals. The group uses slam poetry, underground hip-hop, electro-acoustic music and video in their high-energy performances. Verbobala, based out of Cuernavaca, Mexico, and Tucson, Ariz., will add an extra element of multiculturalism to the contest, Flores says. "I don't think many people will have seen anything like them before."
Although he's excited to compete with other college teams who are some of the nation's best, Cuffee says the competition element of the event isn't the most important part. "We're very interested in winning and we consider it our job to do so, but in essence, the competition is just an excuse to get people to listen to poetry," Cuffee says. "The most important thing is meeting, becoming friends with and learning from other poets and getting more people interested in slam poetry."

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Firespotter Labs today announced that its waitlist app for iPad, NoshList, has been successfully integrated into all Red Robin International, Inc. company-owned restaurants as part of a nationwide rollout. A fully featured restaurant waitlist and guest management solution available for free at www.noshlist.com, NoshList makes it easy for restaurants to efficiently manage their waitlist and elevate the guest experience. NoshList notifies diners via unlimited free text messaging and automated phone call alerts that their tables are ready, replacing paper lists, microphones and alert buzzers.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120222/SF57965)
Red Robin International, Inc. currently operates more than 330 company-owned Red Robin® restaurants and chose NoshList based on its industry-leading proprietary telephony technology. Similar to other multi-unit restaurants, Red Robin traditionally used pen-and-paper waitlists and microphone systems to address diners waiting to be seated. Prior to using NoshList, the casual dining chain experienced significant surges in both the front and back of house relative to guest flow during peak times. In February, Red Robin deployed NoshList to 50 locations quickly rolling out to the remaining company-owned restaurants within 60 days due to the remarkable results.
"Beyond the benefits of waitlist management and improvement in guest experience, restaurants where NoshList had been deployed realized increased seating efficiencies and improved ticket flow through the kitchen making the decision to deploy NoshList to our other locations a no-brainer," stated Chris Laping, Senior Vice President of Business Transformation and Chief Information Officer for Red Robin International, Inc. "For diners, this translates to shorter wait times, as the time that tables sit empty between parties is minimized to less than 30 seconds in some cases, and improved ticket times, as order flow through the kitchen is steadied."
Red Robin also selected NoshList as its preferred front-of-house, guest management technology platform because of its simple and intuitive interface, which allows restaurants to implement quickly. The ability for restaurant operators to implement and train staff within minutes minimizes the resources that restaurants typically have to allocate to the introduction of a new piece of technology. Restaurants are better equipped to forecast expenses without worry of increases relative to changes in diner traffic.
Understanding that deployment of technology for multi-unit restaurants is no easy feat, NoshList, through a partnership with iPadEnclosures.com, has designed a "push-button" distribution strategy that can provide restaurants with up to 500 fully provisioned iPads within 7 days. "During phase one of our roll out to Red Robin, NoshList was able to provide 125 fully provisioned iPads to 55 Red Robin locations in a number of days," says Cody Rose, Director of Restaurant Solutions for Firespotter Labs. "iPads arrived at each specified location provisioned with NoshList and preconfigured with a number of additional options including corporate 3G and/or wifi connectivity settings, screen protectors, a protective iPad Enclosure complete with mounting mechanism, and a free multi-device management solution ('MDM') for a truly out-of-box solution that allowed each restaurant to be up and running with NoshList within minutes."
NoshList provides restaurants unlimited text and call notifications for alerting parties when their tables are ready. Both NoshList, a free version of the application, and NoshList Premium, priced at the flat fee of $49 per month, can be downloaded from www.noshlist.com.

LONDON - A man got into the Olympic Stadium for the men's 100-meter final at the London Games without a valid ticket and shouted abuse at Usain Bolt before throwing a plastic bottle onto the track, prosecutors said Thursday.
Ashley Gill-Webb went on trial in London, five months after the incident took place on Aug. 5.
The 34-year-old Gill-Webb is accused of using an old ticket to get into the stadium and then shouting at Bolt, "Usain I want you to lose. Usain you are bad," followed by an obscenity.
After a plastic beer bottle was thrown onto the track, Dutch judoka Edith Bosch — who was sitting in the same section of the stadium — intervened and pushed Gill-Webb in the back.
"He was shouting specifically at Usain Bolt ... he repeated these taunts over and over, it went on and on for about two minutes," Bosch said in a statement read to Stratford Magistrates' Court.
After confronting Gill-Webb, Bosch recalled saying "Dude, are you crazy?"
"He was trying to walk away so I pushed him hard to stop him," she added. "I was angry with what he had done, which was so disrespectful."
Bolt won the gold medal in 9.63 seconds. The Jamaican said after the race he was unaware of the bottle-throwing incident.
Gill-Webb denies using threatening words or behaviour with intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
His lawyer said Gill-Webb cannot remember throwing the bottle because he was suffering from a "manic episode" at the time.
But prosecutors said Gill-Webb, from the northern English city of Leeds, knew what he was doing.
"He passed through several steps waving an old ticket in front of people to get past security and that was a deliberate act," prosecutor Neil King said. "He thought, 'I want to get into the Olympics and I will do it by waving this ticket and it worked.'"
Since the incident, Gill-Webb has lost his job and received psychiatric treatment.
The case was adjourned until Jan. 11.

Crossroads - Gary Hoey at The 2016 Dallas International Guitar Show Day 3
Crossroads - performed by Gary Hoey at The 2016 Dallas International Guitar Show
Aram Doroff (Bass), Mike Gage (Drums), ?? (Guitar) 09 Day 3 5-01-16
Gary Hoey
Speaking about hidden musical jewels in today's rock and blues scenes, we would be remiss if we neglected to bring Gary Hoey into the discussion.
This exceptionally talented guitar player from Boston has over 20 albums in a career spanning almost 30-years during which time he has explored virtually every musical possibility within the rock and roll genre, going from hard rock to blues and even progressive rock. Such wide ranging experience and enlightened hipness are also visible in Gary's solo work.
Gary's work as a guitar player, composer and arranger is well known and one of the most recognizable within the entertainment industry, having been in touch with big names such as New Line Cinema, Walt Disney, No Fear and ESPN.
Every project he has been involved with has been successful and serves as a testament to his extensive musical experience and deep understanding of the artistic needs demanded by the industry.
He is also a remarkable musical producer, having been working with great artists such as heavy metal Diva, Lita Ford, on her Album "Living Like a Runaway." Starting out as a hard rock/heavy metal musician, he managed to audition for Ozzy Osbourne in the late
1980s, and even when the gig went to Zakk Wylde this experience helped him to score a record deal with Reprise, experimenting with funk, groove and blues for his (1993) album, "Animal Instinct."
Gary continued to keep his success train rolling with a wide variety of diverse rock formulas like surf rock (on his "California Dreamin'" release), heavy metal versions of Christmas classics (on "Ho! Ho! Hoey!"), film soundtracks ("The Endless Summer 2"), progressive rock (his "Money" CD) and even music from the "California Screamin'" roller-coaster ride!
So why is Gary Hoey, worth a listen? Versatility and good taste top the lengthy list of impressive musicianship qualities that Gary exemplifies and which determines his value and importance in the music world. His ability to approach every musical style in a satisfying and yet personal way is the name of the game for Gary, and is what makes him and his artistic work stand out.
His most recent release is 2016's "Dust & Bones", a blues and hard rock fusion in which he finds himself at home, musically speaking. In those 12 tracks we can hear everything from delta blues-influenced compositions (Boxcar Blues, Deja Blues) to 1950s style hot rock and roll (Who's Your Daddy, Boot Mill Blues) as well as more personal and introspective compositions like the title track "Dust & Bones", which calls up Gary's heavy metal influences.
Gary's outstanding performances presented here, from the 2016 Dallas International Guitar Show & Music Festival positively proves that, without any doubt, no ifs ands or buts, Gary Hoey has definitely "Got It!" He's a seasoned pro, at ease and comfortable in his element, and at the stage of his career and life where he wants to "give back", share his knowledge and success, do his part by offering his kind and generous support to boost, promote, help cultivate, to "Take Under His Wing" so to speak, the new young upcoming generation of performers.
We think that a sincere, dedicated, talented musician like Gary Hoey, who delivers such great quality work, deserves widespread attention, strong praise and recognition of achievement and is highly recommended.

Education funding is back in the limelight.
The Senate recently passed a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the Legislature to target aid to needy communities, rather than spend a blanket per-student amount for every student in the state. It would give control over education funding back to the Legislature.
The education funding circus rolled into town last year. The House and Senate each passed its own version of education funding amendments, and this past fall, with little pomp and circumstance, Gov. John Lynch released his own proposed language for an amendment. Lynch has long spoken of his desire to address the education funding issue, but it's entirely possible he'll finish his record fourth term this year without having resolved the issue. House Speaker William O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, in an attempt to eliminate obstacles for the House version of the amendment, took Lynch's language, attached it to a bill, sponsored it, and asked legislators to reject it, which they did.
The version the Senate passed last week has bipartisan support and the support of the governor.
"I am pleased with the bi-partisan support the amendment received in the Senate and truly appreciate Gov. Lynch publicly endorsing the legislation as well today," said Senate President Peter Bragdon, R-Milford, in a statement. "It is imperative as we work towards putting this question before voters, that they see it has the backing of both parties and the governor. New Hampshire voters deserve the opportunity to weigh in on this issue. I am confident the amendment will have bipartisan support in the House."
Support in the House could be more difficult to come by. Still, the House's own version would be an even tougher sell in the Senate, and certainly with Lynch, whose support isn't actually required. Those in favor of the Senate version are touting it as restoring flexibility to the process of making education funding decisions. The proposal would need a three-fifths majority to pass the House, before it goes on a statewide ballot this fall.
A difficult path
The road to an education funding amendment is fraught with peril. Since the 1997 Supreme Court decision, known as the Claremont decision, there have been more than 80 attempts to introduce some form of a constitutional amendment for education funding. Heading into last year, it had appeared as though there was some common ground between House and Senate leaders and Lynch in that regard, but so far, the sides haven't all reached agreement.
The education funding landscape changed dramatically following a pair of Supreme Court decisions, the second one occurring in 1997. Since then, the state has been required to provide education adequacy funding for every student in the state, which amounts to $3,450 per student, with more allotted for special education students and English language learning students. Some districts can obtain more funding from the state through various channels, but as a base, the state distributes $3,450 per child in the state, regardless of how much each district spends per child.
There are plenty of folks who say any talk of an amendment is simply going to rewind things to where they were prior to the Claremont decision ? and during that time period, they say, the legislature simply didn't live up to its obligations with regard to funding education.
"Education is a fundamental right," said state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester. D'Allesandro was the lone Democrat in the Senate to vote for the amendment, which passed 17-7. "Getting dollars to people who need them the most is essential. This amendment does not take the courts out of the equation. I have voted for amendments in the past, I am proud to support CACR 12 and to help move it forward in order to give the people the chance to vote on it in November."
Educational adequacy
Everyone involved in the discussion acknowledges that $3,450 is hardly the cost of an adequate education. A central question is whether or not the Legislature should be able to give more money to needy districts, while giving less to wealthier districts that spend in excess of $15,000 per student on their own.
O'Brien has pointed to the fact that a supermajority passed the House's education funding proposal. The court system currently has "strict scrutiny" over education funding, which some say gives the courts too much control. O'Brien wants the Legislature to be able to treat education funding as it does any other department in the state budget process.
"We live in a democracy, not a judicial oligarchy. If the issue is education funding, we elect representatives to make decisions," O'Brien said this past fall in an interview with the Hippo. "If they make bad decisions, then they should be un-elected. … It's called democracy."
Responsibility, authority, discretion
The interplay between three concepts ? responsibility, authority and discretion ? has always been key in the constitutional amendment debates.
The Senate's proposed amendment reads as follows:
"In fulfillment of the provisions with respect to education set forth in Part II, Article 83, the legislature shall have full power and authority and the responsibility to define reasonable standards for elementary and secondary public education, to establish reasonable standards of accountability, and to mitigate local disparities in educational opportunity and fiscal capacity. Further, the legislature shall have full power and authority to determine the amount of, and the method of raising and distributing, state funding for public education."
The word "responsibility" is key. If the legislature just has the power and the authority to fund something, that doesn't necessarily mean it has to fund it. That the Senate proposal would give the Legislature the responsibility would seem to suggest that it can't just ignore the state's role in funding education in a tough budget cycle.
The House version would go further toward giving the Legislature unadulterated control over the issue. O'Brien doesn't want the word responsibility in the mix. He wants full discretion on how to raise money, whether to raise money and on how to distribute that money to schools. Proponents say an amendment like that removes judicial review entirely from the equation. O'Brien says the judicial system shouldn't be in the mix anyway.
It's a tough road to passage regardless, as many don't want to see any constitutional amendment, fearing it would result in an unfair system where some schools get more money than others. They wonder, how would the Legislature determine which districts are "needy" and which are "wealthy?" What about the districts in between? If the House, Senate and Lynch ultimately sign off on an amendment, get ready for a fierce fight on both sides.

David Domke is Professor of Communication and Head of Journalism at the University of Washington. Kevin Coe is a doctoral candidate in Speech Communication at the University of Illinois. They are authors of the The God Strategy: How Religion Became a Political Weapon in America. To learn more about the book check out their handy website here. In the article below Domke and Coe look at Romney's upcoming address to the nation.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will address the nation Thursday night about his Mormon faith and how it relates to his candidacy and policy goals. Many are calling it his "JFK moment" because the context recalls John F. Kennedy's storied 1960 address to a group of conservative Protestant clergy in Houston.
In that speech, Kennedy declared: "I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute" and "I believe in a president whose views on religion are his own private affair."
Romney's speech will not sound these themes. To do so would be political suicide because Romney faces a fundamentally different political environment than did Kennedy.
In recent decades, conservative Christian evangelicals and Catholics—the two groups at odds in the 1960 election—have found common ground. These voters increasingly seek candidates whose faith substantially informs their politics.
The turning point came in 1980. Four years earlier Jimmy Carter made his Southern Baptist faith a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. Once in the White House, however, Carter's strict separation of church and state and moderate policies—the JFK approach—disappointed the growing religious conservative movement.
Ronald Reagan responded with we call the God strategy: a mixture of political voice and agenda that is primarily secularized, while—in the words of Doug Wead, who in 1988 headed George H. W. Bush's campaign outreach to evangelicals—finding opportunities to "signal" sympathy for religious conservatives' views. This tactic was stunningly successful in 1980, and subsequent presidents have followed suit.
How do we know? We ran the numbers.
Our analysis of thousands of public communications across eight decades shows that American politics today is defined by a calculated, demonstrably public religiosity unlike anything in modern history. Consider just one example.
On average, presidents from Franklin Roosevelt—the beginning of the modern presidency—to Carter mentioned God in less than half of their major addresses. In contrast, Reagan, Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush (through year six) all did so in more than 90% of theirs. Further, the total number of references to God in the average presidential speech since 1981 was an astounding 120% higher than the average speech from 1933-1980. References to broader religious terms, such as faith, pray, sacred, worship, and crusade increased by 60%.
Wherever we look, whatever we measure—from presidential speeches to proclamations, party platforms, even celebrations of Christmas—our analysis points to the same conclusion: Politicians today face a religious politics far beyond anything Kennedy knew.
In the coming months, we'll blog regularly about these changes, how they're affecting the 2008 campaign, how the candidates are responding—and what all of this means for the American experiment in democracy.

"Bob's notes" are reports from CFCA President Bob Hentzen, who regularly accompanies mission awareness trip participants. You can see Bobís full update on his Facebook page.
From the northern border with Venezuela to the southern border with Ecuador, we've walked every kilometer of Colombia, this wonderful country.
(Editor's note: This is a reference to Walk2gether, the nearly 8,000-mile solidarity walk that Bob and CFCA staffers undertook through 12 Latin American countries. The walk lasted from December 2009 to June 2011.)
I remain deeply grateful for all the blessings, prayers and solidarity.
CFCA in Colombia
Colombia is special to me and to my family. I first landed here in 1960 as a Christian Brother missionary teacher.
I was assigned to Colegio La Salle, Cartagena. I have many wonderful memories of my students and fellow teachers at La Salle.
Since Cristina and I sponsored the first CFCA child, Florelia Delgado (in the CFCA project in Bogota), CFCA in Colombia has grown to include 19,349 children and 2,179 elderly friends.
In addition, we currently have 1,552 Colombian children on our waiting list for sponsorship.
Our CFCA family in Colombia includes five major projects (Antioquia, Bogota, Cartagena, Cali and Quibdo).
All staff members at our Antioquia project (together with a few spouses and babies) were on hand to welcome the sponsors at the CFCA central office in Medellin.
Currently we are blessed with 18 major seminarians in formation at the Conciliar Seminary.
They come from modest families, and 15 of them are sponsored through CFCA's vocation sponsorship program, which supports men and women studying for a religious vocation.
I'm told this seminary was the venue of the famous Episcopal Conference of Medellin of 1968.
Sponsored children from Cali were able to enjoy this pleasant setting, called "Pueblito Paisa," with their sponsors.
Sponsors Clarice and Deacon Jerome Thetreau celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary on this mission awareness trip. They marked this wonderful occasion by sponsoring an additional little girl.
Sponsors experienced the importance and practicality of cable cars in Medellin. This means of economic transportation has opened up more possibilities for families living in the higher areas.
In her own home, a CFCA mother confidently speaks to sponsors: "You represent hope for our families. We can now dream of a better future."
We spent a most enjoyable couple of hours with the CFCA community of Zamora ó children, teens, elders, sponsors, staff. Everyone participated.
CFCA scholars are a big inspiration and help in the rough areas of Medellin. Some families have moved to Medellin after being caught in the crossfire of armed conflict.
Mothers prepared in a livelihood skill are a tremendous asset in any CFCA project.
Families in La Cometa sector of Medellin endure a high level of unemployment, domestic violence and illiteracy rates.
The mothers, anxious to change this situation, are very interested in training programs. This program offers extracurricular and recreational activities.
Several mothers and teens mentioned that they are learning guitar. Our prayer is that these programs will help to keep the youth distanced from gangs and violence.
We had the joy of visiting the 98 sponsored children and adults at the Hogar in Medellin.
At two sites in Medellin, a community of very dedicated Sisters and Brothers devote themselves to these dear people with different abilities.
We spent the last afternoon and evening in Medellin in the high rural area overlooking Medellin. This area called Pueblo Viejo is home to 667 CFCA families.
They have made it a point to study CFCA values at the family level. They know the story of our growth over these 30 years, and they are very identified with CFCA.
I write in the bus now. It's evening. We have spent this entire day in Turbaco, where we are privileged to work with over 500 sponsored children and aging friends and their families.
As with all of our days on these trips, this day has been long and beautiful. Of tremendous impact are the testimonies and the example of CFCA mother leaders and our scholars.
A tremendously warm day in Pasacaballos … not only heat from the sun … heat from the hearts of the CFCA members.
Children and youth are in their formation classes and sports. Mothers groups are ready to launch their first livelihood projects.
Thoughts from the children:
- "I am 13 now. I want to thank my sponsor for all these years … but especially for visiting me. I want her to know that I have grown and learned so many things since her last visit."
- "I am 11. I am happy because I am going to meet my sponsors. When I knew about this, I got so excited. Much love to you from my siblings and from my mother."
- "We are 13 and 11. We are so proud to have the most special sponsors in the world. They love us a lot, and we love them as our parents. Bless them always."
- "We are 11 and 6. We love our sponsors. They are part of our family."
We are here to listen.
These are our scenes from Medellin and Cartagena. Photo credits go to the CFCA teams in each area.
Cristina and I thank you for your solidarity and prayers. We now move on to the mission awareness trip in Bogota.

Another thing I've always wondered about was 2 promos for Motion picture. They seem to be:
Motion Pictures (rough mixes) which is in a cardboard CD sleeve and
Motion Pictures which is in a jewel case.
Some seem to have the s crossed out in biro as they changed the name for release to Motion Picture. They have different track titles, but both appear to be "proper" pressed, manufactured CDs looking at images on discogs and not CDRs as discogs lists them as.
My question is are these tracks different from the final release?
If anyone again wants to sell one or knows of one for sale, please reply to this or send a private message

Critique of Information
SAGE Publications, Mar 28, 2002 - Social Science - 256 pages
This penetrating book raises questions about how power and resistance operate in contemporary society. Scott Lash argues that critique must take place from within information flows, rather than from the safety of `academic detachment' and that information is power. The book identifies a central contradiction of the information society, that is, the more intelligent and rational that the information society becomes, the more irrational may be the consequences. Written by one of the most celebrated commentators on power and culture, the book is a major testament on the prospects of intellectual life in an age dominated by seemingly inexhaustible, global flows of information.

This is quite good for users but not for automating jobs on machines.
I was setting up a Windows 64-bit machine to run our Firefox builds and I noticed that every time we reached the "make -k check" step the job would hang until it timed out.
I decided to run the step manually and discovered that we would get a prompt for the user to intervene.
|jsapi-tests.exe crashed when running "make -k check" and Windows notifies the user
At first ted let me know that it might be related to disabling the JIT debugger (Visual Studio allows you to attach a debugger on programs outside of itself just-in-time!) but I figured out that it was disabled and this was the "post attaching the debugger" message.
I filed a bug to disable the jsapi-tests.exe crash until it gets fixed but soon after I found a post that gave me an idea.
I searched for "prevent stopped working" and I noticed this low-rated comment on stackoverflow that mentions how to disable the "Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program".
This was not what I wanted but it inspired me to look for something that would stop Windows from notifying the users of an error.
I filtered for the word "Error" (because that is what you do on Administrative tools on Windows instead of searching). After looking for a while I found "Prevent display of the user interface for critical errors" and voila! It did the trick.
Here are the steps I followed which I documented on the Win64 reference platform documentation:
- Run "gpedit.msc"
- Computer configuration -> Administrative Templates
- Windows Components -> Windows Error Reporting
- Set "Prevent display of the user interface for critical errors" to Enabled
Happy Windows automation!

Canterbury's gardens at their springtime best
Glorious colour, diversity and composition characterise the magnificence of Canterbury gardens in spring.
1 / 2
Well known for passionate gardeners, eccentricity and art, it is natural that Canterbury is home to some of New Zealand's most unique and beautiful gardens. During the spring the region comes alive with vivid greens, yellows, purples, whites and reds. Immediately clear is the fact that the locals here take enormous pride in their gardens - bouquets of colour are carefully organised amongst well considered landscapes, all accented with tasteful artworks.
Unsurprisingly, the warm country hospitality that kiwis are famous for opens the door to the many (otherwise hidden) creations to which these passionate gardeners have dedicated so much. Skilful assemblages of bright perennials are a common sight amongst the vivid green foliage and soft bloom of camellias and rhododendrons. Many gardens integrate artworks and sculpture as well as the tranquility that only water can offer in the form of lily ponds, gently cascading streams and understated fountains. Most of these gardens are designated Nationally Significant by the New Zealand Gardening Trust.
Here are a handful of the gardens you are sure to admire while visiting Canterbury.
The Tichborne's Garden, Akaroa
French Farm is the home of Nancy and Bryan Tichborne and their fabulous garden. Nearly two decades in the making and meandering across eleven acres of farmland, this landscape is awash with colour and diversity. The garden is home to numerous varieties of both natives and exotics, not to mention the song of thriving bird life. Nancy is also well known for her beautiful watercolours and can often be found beside her easel.
The Trott's Garden, Ashburton
Welcome to the home of Alan Trott, renowned nurseryman and cultivator of another truly magical kiwi garden. Endless varieties of dogwoods, magnolias and maples are further glamorised by the ever graceful rhododendrons and vibrant azaleas. Curving pathways yield constant surprises as you admire the ensemble of spring blossoms and peruse woodland plantings, formal English landscaping and tasteful water gardens.
Akanui Farm Homestead, Akanui
Join your hosts Di and Ian Mackenzie at their magnificent, character-rich homestead and gardens. At over 100 years old, this homestead oozes charm and perfectly complements the exceptional outdoor surroundings. To add to its authenticity, this home is constructed from bricks fired at the local kiln and dressed in beautiful native Rimu wood. Di takes enormous pride in the upkeep and improvement of their mature ornamental and vegetable gardens which will no doubt be the source of many items on the menu.
MoaTrek's Canterbury Springtime Gardens & Culverden Christmas Country Fete small group tour incorporates these gardens as well as the many other cultural and floral delights found in this region. You'll enjoy country hospitality, private farmhouse lunches and spectacular gardens at their springtime best. Find out more on our website, or contact us directly.

FORT DODGE, Iowa — GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson argued Tuesday for increased military spending and said soldiers fighting in Iraq need better equipment and effective leaders.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
"We're going to have to spend more money for the kind of threats, the old kind and the new kind," Thompson said. "We're going to have to have a larger military, we're going to have to work closer with our allies."
Thompson made his comments on the fourth day of a visit to Iowa, where the presidential campaign's leadoff caucuses are scheduled for January. He mixed support for the Iraq war with criticism of how it has been conducted.
Speaking to about 75 people, he said of U.S. troops, "They should have the best support and equipment, and the leaders ought to know what they're doing."
Meeting later with reporters, Thompson said the U.S. had initially misjudged the war.
"We clearly did not anticipate what we were confronting there, and I don't think we went into this with enough troops and I don't think we had all the equipment we needed," he said.
He blamed some of that on reductions in military spending that accompanied the end of the Cold War.
"We cut back on those things and a lot of those chickens are coming home to roost," said Thompson. "Our military is stretched thin and we've got a lot of worn out equipment."
While backing the war, Thompson said, "No one wants to drill in a dry hole forever." He has consistently opposed a timetable for withdrawal.
'Good communicator' receives cool reception
This is Thompson's second multi-day trip through Iowa, where precinct caucuses begin the nominating process. He entered the presidential race only last month.
He has drawn solid but not spectacular crowds of up to a couple of hundred. Among those who braved a chilly rain on Tuesday to hear his stump speech, several said they were drawn out of curiosity to see the actor and former senator from Tennessee.
Backers have cast Thompson as a classic communicator in the mold of Ronald Reagan, who translated his acting background into two terms in the White House. During this visit, Iowans didn't seem ready to commit.
"I view him as a good communicator who has many of the values that moderate conservatives share," said Bill Hanson, of Fort Dodge. "I'm waiting to see if he can lead."
Bruce Johnston, of Webster City, said he remained "very undecided."
"It doesn't seem like he's come out really strongly on a lot of things," said Johnston. "He's got some of the same presentation skills, but we don't know much about him yet."
In his stump speech, Thompson employs a folksy, Southern style and speaks without notes. He rambles at times and doesn't always build to a rousing finish.
Speaking Monday to about 250 people in Marshalltown, Thompson had to point out that he was finished and it was OK for people to applaud.
"At least I got some applause," he said. "I had to ask for it."
In Cedar Falls, a country singer got the crowd rocking and clapping, but the room cooled as Thompson spoke.
"He's a good communicator, but I'm still looking," said Brad Niemeyer, of Fort Dodge.
On spending and SCHIP
Thompson's words sometimes get him into trouble. In his initial campaign visit to Iowa in September, he described the effort to capture terrorist leader Osama bin Laden as largely symbolic, then spent several days explaining what he had meant.
In his latest swing, he's had to explain why he doesn't support a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. He has insisted that influential social conservatives are untroubled by that position.
On the stump, he rarely goes into great detail about his positions. On Tuesday, for instance, he called for increased military spending but didn't explain how he would pay for it.
His larger themes are sharply conservative, including talking tough on immigration and backing President Bush's plan to veto a bill expanding a children's health program.
"We cannot have a strong economy if it's built on quicksand and quick illegal labor," said Thompson.
On the children's health care issue, Thompson said the plan passed by Congress goes too far.
"It's a classic case of a program that started out, it's a good program and served a good purpose," he said. "Why not write a check to everybody in the country. We can't do that. We are on an unsustainable spending path in this country, and no one seems to be willing to put the brakes on."

"Both teams are heading in the right direction," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "The guys were right in the mix with Tufts, Springfield, Wheaton and Coast Guard, which shows how far they've come in the last few years. The women lost to Westfield by five points, and they're always one of the top teams in the (New England) Alliance, which puts us in a good position. We're three weeks from conference, and we're looking forward to getting stronger in the next few weeks." The Corsairs will return to action when they visit Boston University next weekend.

The Best Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago
Love it or hate it, deep dish pizza is a Chicago fixture. Here's where to find the best.
Our Favorites!
Overall Favorite: Burt's Place
Deep Dish Done Right: My Pie
Favorite Stuffed Pizza: Bacino's
Deep dish pizza is as accurately named as any food I know. Even if you've never experienced one in person, you already know to expect something imposing and thick, with generous layers of sauce and cheese. You also know that eating one will leave you absolutely and completely full, perhaps uncomfortably so.
No matter what what you think about this style of pizza, it's hard not to be impressed by its stature. Which explains why so many visitors to Chicago want to experience the spectacle for themselves, even if food critics tend to disparage the stuff as greasy and too much like a casserole.
I am, in fact, one of those critics. Ever since I moved to Chicago six years ago, I've dismissed deep dish and its cadre of thick-crusted companions as overwrought and heavy, especially compared to other, better, styles of pizza. Yet, no matter how carefully constructed my rants against deep dish were, the crowds kept chowing down. Eventually I developed a nagging feeling that I hadn't given deep dish a fair shot. That insecurity led to this important question: What if I'm wrong about deep dish?
There was only one way to find out. I couldn't just visit a few joints and make up my mind. No, if I was going to learn to appreciate deep dish, I had to go all out and try as many different restaurants as I possibly could. Then I'd be able to look deep dish straight in the eye and tell it what I thought. Plus, I would have eaten enough to feel comfortable declaring the best deep dish in Chicago.
What Is Deep Dish Pizza, Really?
It took some time, and I wouldn't say I fell madly in love, but eventually I developed a kind of understanding of deep dish. This type of pizza just wants to make as many people as possible happy.
To put it another way, deep dish is the summer blockbuster of the pizza world. Sure, it may be overly concerned with car chases and explosions, but mostly it wants a packed house and hero to save the day. What, you may be wondering, is the deep dish equivalent of a handsome action hero? That's easy: cheese. Let's pause for a moment and gaze upon a gratuitous photos of cheese stretching.
See what I mean? Notice how all arguments seem inconsequential in the face of this awe-inspiring sight? Oh, what's that? You'd like another one?
Okay. That's enough. Still, I knew that there was no way I was going to fall for deep dish without attention given to the crust and sauce. Basically, you're never going to get me to watch Lone Ranger; I just had to find the Die Hard of deep dish.
Is All Chicago Pizza Deep Dish?
I had one minor issue: Not all thick-crusted pizza in Chicago is deep dish. In fact, deep dish is just one of at least three different kinds of thick-crusted pizza you'll find here, which is to say nothing of the numerous styles of thin-crust pizza. Though real differences exist, there is confusion because these styles look so similar. Each is thick and features a generous pool of sauce on top of the cheese. Here's a quick and dirty guide.
Deep Dish: The original. It features a moderately thick and crumbly crust, which is topped with loads of mozzarella, toppings, a layer of tomato sauce that is usually on the chunkier side. This is the style you'll find at most of the big name Chicago chains, including Lou Malnati's, Uno's, Pizano's, and Gino's East.
Stuffed Pizza: The first thing you'll notice here is that the ends are actually even taller than deep dish. Instead of crumbly, the crust is flaky, and it's often possible to see distinct laminated layers of dough. But what truly sets stuffed pizza apart is an additional layer of dough above the cheese and below the sauce. Most people don't even know it is there because it's so thin and is the same color as the cheese. Giordano's is the most famous practitioner of this style, though there are a surprising number of places serving stuffed pizza.
Pan Pizza: The distinguishing feature here is a ring of caramelized parmesan cheese, which crisps up in the pizza pan. The crust is also breadier and more in line with pan pizzas you'd find elsewhere in the country. You'll only see pan pizza listed a few places, but they are two big names, Burt's and Pequod's.
Those are the differences, but you know what? Except, perhaps, for food writers, no one really cares. When Eater published a list of the best deep dish in Chicago, Giordano's made the cut, even though it's not technically deep dish. When people come to Chicago, they just want to experience a big, overloaded pizza with lots of toppings, and stopping to explain this classification system gets old fast. Plus, like everything in life, things are never completely clear cut. Some deep dish pizzas have a flaky crust (Tortorice's comes to mind), while a few stuffed pies have crumbly ones (Art of Pizza).
For the sake of this list, any thick-crusted pizza with sauce on top was fair game.
The Contenders
The only problem with such an open definition of deep dish was that this left me with an incredible number of options. Plus, this isn't the kind of pizza that you can casually graze upon over the course of an evening. This is truly filling food, which also takes a decent amount of time to cook. While some Neapolitan pies only need a couple minutes in a hot oven, cooking times for deep dish and stuffed are often in the 30-to-45-minute range.
I sampled all the pizzerias I thought had a chance at taking the top spot. Pretty much every big name spot is here, along with some suggestions from an open thread post and a few from my own research.
- Art of Pizza
- Bacino's
- Bartoli's
- Burt's Place
- Edwardo's
- Gino's East
- Giordano's
- Lou Malnati's
- Louisa's
- My Pie
- Pizano's
- Pizzeria Uno
- Tortorice's
The Criteria; Or How to Judge Deep Dish
As I would with any other style of pizza, I evaluated each deep dish by taking a look at the crust, sauce, and cheese. But figuring out what I wanted from each turned out to be slightly trickier than suspected. To get a sense of what I mean, I'm going to have to bring up New York pizza, though I promise this will be brief.
Every element on a New York slice is about the greater good. The hope is that the crust, sauce, and cheese combine to form one balanced bite. If one aspect stands out too much, the whole slice falters (or literally collapses on itself). Deep dish is sort of the opposite. It's just plain bigger in every way, making it is easier to isolate each element and evaluate it. This makes it possible to genuinely appreciate one element, even if another doesn't work as well.
I also realized that toppings are essential. To keep things relatively simple I went with the sausage, because it's both very popular and many places make it in-house. Here were my general guidelines:
- The crust should above all else provide support for all the other ingredients, but that shouldn't come at the cost of having some textural complexity. Instead compact and crunchy, the crust should have a crisp exterior and a light and airy interior. The crust should also have some flavor of its own. Too many deep dish crusts are criminally under salted. I don't know why more people aren't upset about this.
- The tomato sauce should be vibrant, with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. Discernible chunks of tomato are a good sign; a thin and watery texture with loads of dried herbs is not.
- The layer of cheese should be slightly tangy and distinctive, and not just a rubbery layer of goo.
- The fresh sausage should be well seasoned and juicy, which is easier to accomplish with larger hunks than tiny crumbles.
Okay, that's enough talk. Let's get to the results!
Overall Favorite: Burt's Place
Burt's Place is for the doubters. No matter how much you hate, or think you hate, Chicago-style pizza, this pan pizza will win you over. It's all thanks to the crust, which unlike nearly every other pizza I tried, has a shatteringly crisp bottom that quickly gives way to a soft and airy interior. In other words, this is great bread, and owner Burt Katz knows better than to completely cover it up. Instead, it's topped with a thin, yet flavorful layer of cheese, and a simple and satisfying sauce. Scattered about are sizable hunks of sausage, which are nicely salted and juicy.
Oh, and I didn't even mention the pizza's most distinguishing feature: a stripe of extra-crisp, jet-black caramelized cheese, which rings the exterior of the crust. Created when a handful of grated parmesan patted along the exterior of the crust interacts with the cast-iron pizza pan, this final flourish makes the crusts, which are usually an afterthought, the greediest, most sought after bite of all.
We can all thank owner Burt Katz, who developed this style of pan pizza years ago while working at various other restaurants (including Pequod's). He got his own place in the leafy residential suburb of Morton Grove in 1989, which has allowed him to continue making pizza the way he wants to, in an environment he controls completely. That means cash-only, no delivery, and a strict limit on the number of pizzas he feels comfortable making in an evening. (It's always best to call ahead, lest you show up to find out he doesn't have room in the oven for your order, which has happened to other customers both times I visited.)
Where most pizzerias in town think of franchising and corporatizing as a sign of success, Burt's is the opposite. Like Chicago's best hot dog stand, Hot Doug's, the restaurant doesn't open if the owner is not there, which ensures a level of quality unmatched by the big-name chains.
Deep Dish Done Right: My Pie
As great as Burt's is, it's technically pan pizza. If you're looking for deep dish straight, with no chasers, make your way to Bucktown's My Pie, which has all the charm and character you'd expect from a joint stuffed into a random strip mall. But what the restaurant lacks in looks, it makes up with the most balanced deep dish offering around.
Instead of overloaded and greasy, My Pie's deep dish is light (relatively speaking, of course) and lively, with a bright and chunky tomato sauce, tangy fresh mozzarella, and a crust that is light brown and delicately crisp. In some respects, My Pie feels like a reaction against other deep dish pizzas. It offers real restraint for a dish mostly known for having none. This is also a great choice if you're looking to try the style for the very first time.
Favorite Stuffed Pizza: Bacino's
If you'd rather throw caution to the wind, and cheese happens to be your reason to live, stuffed pizza is what you want. It's taller, meatier, cheesier, and just basically more insane than deep dish in every way. And the craziest pizza around is at Bacino's. The crust is crunchier than most stuffed pizzas, the sauce is chunky and acidic, and the sausage has a truly interesting spice profile. But all that matters not next to the enormous layer of cheese. Measuring about 1/2-inch thick, its stature alone deserves respect. That it is also extremely flavorful, with a pleasing tanginess, completely justifies going back for more.
Favorite Downtown Option: Giordano's
There are still plenty of options if you're visiting Chicago or don't have a car. River North is packed with more oversized pizzas than you could ever want. But if you're looking for the biggest, thickest, meatiest, cheesiest, and most awe-inspiring pizza in the area, it's hard deny the power of Giordano's. This mammoth pizza weighs almost three pounds, and can easily feed a whole family. Though the sides are tall and imposing, the tender and flaky crust is remarkably thin on the bottom, which leaves more room for toppings and cheese. Speaking of which, prepare to be gobsmacked by the amount of cheese here. This is not a reasonable pizza; this is event pizza. It's designed to leave you speechless.
Other Great Options
Below are a few more of my favorites.
Before he left to open Burt's Place, Burt Katz was the co-owner of Pequod's, which explains why these two pan pizzas, and their glorious ring of caramelized cheese, look almost identical. They aren't quite, but those differences are very small. Where Burt's precisely controls the number of pizzas coming of the kitchen, Pequod's is a people pleaser, ready to dish out as many pizzas as the crowds demand. The increased demand means that quality can vary slightly, and the crust is always on the thicker and crunchier side.
But Pequod's does have three genuine advantages over Burt's. First, while Pequod's first outlet is just minutes away from Burt's Place in Morton Grove, its second one is in Lincoln Park, which is just a few miles north of downtown. Second, Pequod's delivers (which is awfully convenient during the brutal winter months). Third, the ring of caramelized cheese always seems to be ever-so more deliriously crispy and indulgent here.
Though called pan pizza at the restaurant, the pizza at Louisa's looks much more like deep dish. It tastes like it, too. Which all makes sense considering owner Louisa DeGenero used to work at Due's in River North. The crust is crisp and compact, though is lighter than it looks. The cheese is good, but the sauce is better. Nice and bright, with hunks of tomato mixed in, it's everything I look for in this kind of pizza sauce. It's kind of too bad that Louisa's is located outside the city limits, but I have a feeling that residents in the town of Crestwood like it that way.
As popular as deep dish still is in Chicago, it's impossible not to notice the lack of new restaurants trying the style. Almost all of the places mentioned here have been open for 30 years or more. All of this makes Bartoli's, which opened last year, so surprising. The crust hangs out in the strange middle ground between deep dish and stuffed—it's hard to call it crunchy, but it's not exactly flaky, either. It's loaded with chunky tomato sauce, hunks of sausage, and a nice coating of flavorful cheese. It's a bit wet, but that's a minor issue on an otherwise fantastic pie. Here's hoping more young chefs take up the deep dish challenge.

Jan. 3, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - After a month on the road, a little home cooking was just what the Yale men's basketball team needed. Jordan Gibson scored 13 points to lead a balanced attack as the Bulldogs cruised to an 86-63 victory over MIT in the friendly confines of the John J. Lee Amphitheater.
Yale was playing at home for the first time since a 76-66 victory over Holy Cross on Dec. 3.
"We've only had three games in our building," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball. "Playing in a hostile environment every night makes a huge difference, but we have to learn to play through that."
Gibson, who started in place of an injured Alex Zampier, was 6 of 10 from the field and added six rebounds, three steals, two blocks and an assist in 18 minutes.
"Jordan's role on this team is to get out in transition and get offensive rebounds," Jones said. "When he does those things, we're a pretty good basketball team."
Gibson was one of many players to contribute. Ross Morin and Travis Pinick both scored 12 points. Morin also grabbed nine rebounds, while Pinick added a career-high eight assists, five rebounds and two steals. Garrett Fiddler had nine points, Chris Andrews scored seven and Michael Sands and Greg Mangano contribued six apiece. In all, 13 players scored for the Bulldogs.
Yale (3-9) had assists on 30 of its 37 field goals. Porter Braswell dished out six assists and did not have a turnover in 17 minutes.
"As a team we played really well," Gibson said. "We just need to do that more consistently."
Jimmy Bartolotta had a game-high 32 points to pace the Engineers (7-4). He was 12 of 25 from the field and added three steals and three blocks in 35 minutes. Billy Johnson scored 13 points and Jamie Karraker added 12.
The score was tied at 10-10 after 6 minutes, 30 seconds, but the Bulldogs used an 11-2 run, capped by a Gibson layup, to seize control. Yale built the advantage to 13, 42-29, at the intermission.
After MIT pulled to within 10 with 14:00 left, the Bulldogs put the game away with a 14-3 run over the next four minutes, capped by a Pinick dunk. The lead grew to 26 when Brandon Rose hit a three-pointer from the baseline with 1:09 left. It was the first career points for Rose, a senior who is in his first year on the roster after spending two years as the team manager.
Yale outrebounded the Engineers 44-32, and the Bulldogs' bench outscored MIT's 36-2.
Yale plays at NJIT on Wednesday night and then is back home next Saturday to host Hartford in the final non-Ivy game of the season.
"We have two weeks to get better," Jones said. "We're trying to build a more positive attitude. We've played well enough to be in every game. We just have to get the rock over the mountain. There are a lot of positives for this basketball team."

I had homemade buttermilk that had been sitting in the refrigerator for a week and I was not too sure how long it will keep before it gets bad. I didn't want it to get spoiled so I used it in place of regular milk to make yeast waffles. Wow, these buttermilk yeast waffles are very fluffy, airy, and crispy and have a slight very nice tang that I really love. They are simply delicious and way better in flavor and texture than baking powder waffles. And I prefer them without butter and syrup. They are so good just with a dusting of powdered sugar along with some fresh fruits. The recipe has to be mixed the day before baking and needs to rest and rise in the refrigerator overnight, but the wait is worth it. If you don't have a waffle maker, this dough also makes very good griddle cakes or pancakes.
Buttermilk Yeast Waffles
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ tablespoon instant yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup water
6 tablespoons light olive or grapeseed oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Mix in all the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days. Preheat waffle maker and bake according to manufacturer's directions.

I must confess, I used to be a water hater. I grew up drinking Kool-Aid and cream soda. I dropped the sugary drinks when I was about 13 and have been a staunch water drinker ever since. But for some reason lately I've been really enjoying beverages with a bit more… oomph? I'm not really fond of juice (too viscous and sweet for me… and it has a lot more sugar and a lot less nutritional value than many people are aware of!), but I do enjoy flavored waters, teas, and the occasional coconut water. During the day, I drink a lot of green tea, but after about 5 pm I generally cut myself off from caffeine. Iced herbal teas are a great tasting and low calorie alternative to juices.
My current obsession? Hibiscus tea! Hibiscus tea is naturally sweet and tart, not to mention it's natural bright fuchsia coloring makes it lovely to look at. Hibiscus is also rich in vitamin C and a natural coolant for your body. There have even been studies showing that drinking 3 cups of hibiscus tea a day can help lower blood pressure (see a summary of the research from Bastyr University here). I love it when delicious things are good for me!
Lemonade is a summertime classic, but can often be heavy on the sugar and light on the lemon… not so great for hydration to say the least. My hibiscus lemonade is sweetened with a touch of stevia, a natural and sugar free herb that tastes sweet and makes a great sugar substitute. You could also sweeten with agave and still keep the overall sugar content low because of the natural sweetness of the tea.
Refreshing Hibiscus Lemonade:
*4 hibiscus tea bags such as Stash Raspberry Hibiscus Tea (my favorite)
*8 cups pure water
*1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (I used one big, juicy lemon but you may need two if your lemons are smaller)
*scant 1/4 teaspoon pure stevia powder or 6 NuStevia packets OR about 1/4 cup agave nectar
1.)Brew the 4 tea bags in 8 cups of pure water, transfer to a large pitcher and chill completely.
2.)Add the fresh lemon juice and stevia powder and stir to mix completely. Pour into a chilly glass with ice and enjoy!
This also makes amazing Arnold Palmers! Just mix equal parts iced green or black tea with the hibiscus lemonade. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm willing to bet this would also make a great cocktail mixed with a little gin or vodka.
I was lucky enough to win a NuNatural's stevia package from a giveaway hosted by Laura and have been loving all the amazing stevia products and enjoying replacing the sugar in many favorite recipes. Stay tuned as I hope to host a giveaway here soon so you can try out these products too!
What are some of your favorite summer beverages? Have you used stevia before?
Hope you've all been enjoying your weekend! Take care 🙂

Get Rid of Garden Pests for Good
Slugs can wreck serious havoc your precious greens, and it can cost up to $30 for commercial slug repellants. The low-cost alternative to these pricey pest killers can be found in your own kitchen, specifically in your coffee maker.
Slugs and other pests hate coffee grounds. The high percentage of caffeine can actually kill slugs on the spot, and it only takes a small amount to keep these nasty troublemakers away. Just sprinkle some grounds over your garden and you'll be slug-free.
If you don't brew your own coffee, just stop by your local Starbucks. They have a policy of giving spent grounds to their customers for use on home projects.
This spring, don't allow slugs to slither into your garden. Keep this easy tip in mind and you'll be saving plenty of green while growing your greens.

La torta sbrisolona is a classic crumbly cake from Lombardy, the northern Italian region best known for its capital city, Milan. Sbrisolona is compact and coarse, unlike the layer cakes common in the United States.
The cake gets its name from the verb "sbriciolare," meaning "to crumble," for the cake's most distinctive feature.
I pair the cake with black-berries for an American flair. When I was growing up in the Pacific Northwest, we would fill the trunk of the family Oldsmobile with buckets of blackberries. The simple sauce brings a moistness and seasonality that perfectly complements this traditional dish.
Save a few pieces for the next day - this is one of those cakes that tastes even better the day after you make it.
Walnut sbrisolona with blackberries
2 tablespoons plus ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces chopped walnuts
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely ground cornmeal
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Grated zest of 1 lemon
3 egg yolks
Blackberry sauce:
3 pints fresh blackberries
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup sugar
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
1 pint heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Butter the sides and bottom of an 11-inch round cake pan with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Cut two strips of parchment paper about 20 inches long and 4 inches wide. Arrange the strips in an X over the bottom of the pan, with the ends hanging over the edges. (These will help to unmold the cake later.)
Combine the walnut pieces, flour, cornmeal and sugar in a food processor, and pulse until the texture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Turn the machine off and add the vanilla, lemon zest, egg yolks and remaining ¼ cup melted butter. Pulse six times for 3 seconds at a time. It will form a dough that looks like sticky, wet sand.
Spoon the "wet sand" into the cake pan as evenly as possible. (It will come together as it cooks.) Place the pan in the oven and bake the cake for 1 hour. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, make the blackberry sauce: Combine the blackberries, lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan, and cook over medium heat until the blackberries break down and form a sauce. Let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Lift the cooled cake out of the pan with the help of the parchment strips, and place it on a serving plate. Dust it with confectioners' sugar, if using.
Whip the cream in a cold bowl until it forms frosted peaks, and put into a nice serving bowl.
Serve the cake in wedges, with the blackberry sauce and softly whipped cream on the side. Serves 8 to 10.

Despite word from Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst's senior adviser that former Dallas mayor Tom Leppert is moving on up as a runoff threat, Dewhurst is still focusing his fire on former solicitor general Ted Cruz.
Here's Dewhurst's latest:
It's similar to other ads we've fact-checked. We've also explored Cruz's denial that he's lead lawyer in the case, even though he's listed as counsel of record on court documents.
Cruz's campaign now is raising questions about jobs lost in the company headed by Jordan Fishman, the businessman who says his tire blueprints were copied by the company now represented by Cruz.
"The man Dewhurst tells you is an 'American manufacturer?' He moved his entire factory to China 20 years ago," says an email entitled "Dewhurst's China Lies" from Cruz's campaign. "This was a lawsuit between two Chinese tire factories, and it didn't affect even a single U.S. manufacturing job."
When I interviewed Fishman in April, he said he wound up having his tires made in China because "there was no one to do it here" in the United States.
"To this day, there's one small factory that makes something of this type," he said.
The Chinese factory was Shandong Linglong – the same one Fishman later sued, saying it had copied his blueprints, said Dewhurst spokesman Matt Hirsch.
But Fishman said his company had 45 people in the United States, and now has only one and half employees – including himself. Hirsch said those jobs were sales and distribution jobs.
According to estimates, Dewhurst has spent $8 million to $10 million on television and radio ads.
A Super PAC that supports Dewhurst, The Texas Conservatives Fund, is spending another $1 million on this television ad:
It's also similar to ads we've fact-checked before, with one addition: It includes the item saying Cruz's law firm has donated more than $200,000 to President Obama.
Cruz's campaign says the Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP law firm doesn't make political contributions. It says some people who work there have supported Democrats and Republicans but Cruz doesn't have control over their political contributions.
The ad also says that Cruz opposed lowering property taxes when he was Texas solicitor general and that he said lowering the tax cap "is moving backwards."
But as Janet Elliott reported for the Chronicle in 2006, Cruz made his tax comments when he testified before a Senate panel about the state's options for addressing a court order to revamp the school finance system.
The Texas Supreme Court had ruled that the property tax had become an unconstitutional statewide levy because school districts had no choice but to tax at the maximum level in order to meet their needs. Cruz said then that lowering the tax cup would constrict school districts' discretion, rather than expand it.
