ORU Embarks on First SLC Volleyball Tournament
Central Arkansas is the tournament's top seed and the host of the event, which runs until Sunday, November 18.
All seven matches of the tournament will be streamed live and free of charge on the Southland Digital Network, which includes Southland.org and the Southland Mobile App. The Championship match will be televised live on the Southland Television Network. Affiliates include Cox Ch. 3 in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
Oral Roberts (15-14, 11-7 SLC) finished the regular season tied for fifth in the SLC standings with Stephen F. Austin but dropped to the sixth seed after losing both regular season matches with the Ladyjacks. Still, ORU enters the tournament with momentum on their side, having won seven of their last nine matches.
That string includes a 3-0 sweep of Northwestern State on November 10 in ORU's regular season finale. With the victory, ORU closed the 2012 season with a 7-3 record inside of the Kenneth H. Cooper Aerobics Center.
Junior Bruna Silva was named SLC Libero of the Year on Wednesday. The Niteroi, Brazil native leads the conference with 5.11 digs per set, and her 562 total digs gives her the 7th-highest single-season total in ORU history.
Senior Sheina Fernandes earned a 1st Team All-SLC selection on Wednesday. Fernandes ranks 3rd in the league with a .337 hitting percentage and 4th with 1.24 blocks per set. The 136 total blocks accumulated by Fernandes are 8th-most in ORU single-season history.
Also on Wednesday, junior Laura Taylor earned an Honorable Mention All-SLC selection. The Broken Arrow native ranks 5th in the league with 9.95 digs per set.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi went 21-10 in the regular season, with a 12-6 league record. The Islanders finished tied with Northwestern State for the third seed and were awarded the spot via tiebreaker.
ORU and the Islanders split a pair of regular season matches, with both contests ending in three sets. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi won the first meeting, 3-0, on September 15 in Corpus Christi. Joana Gruber had eight kills and Silva added 18 digs to lead ORU in the loss. Tyger Holt hit .765 and blasted 13 kills to pace the Islanders.
The Golden Eagles returned the favor on October 27 in Tulsa, taking an easy 3-0 victory in front of the Aerobics Center crowd. Gruber had 12 kills to pace the Golden Eagles and freshman Kylie Johnson tallied a team-best 16 digs.
TAMCC Senior Shannon Hullum, who averages 2.98 kills per set, is a 1st Team All-SLC selection, while sophomore Brooke Alverson earned a 2nd Team nod after putting in 2.21 kills and 1.08 blocks per set during the regular season.
Islanders Head Coach Tony Graystone is 369-132 in his 14th season as a collegiate head coach and 55-71 in his 4th season at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. ORU's Sheera Sirola is 185-125 in her tenth year at ORU.
This is ORU's first appearance at the Southland Conference Tournament. The Golden Eagles were a seven-time champion of the Summit League (formerly Mid-Continent Conference) Tournament. ORU won the event every season from 1997-2002 and again in 2006.
The Golden Eagles were Summit League Tournament finalists in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2011.
Sirola's team beat IPFW in the 2011 Summit League Tournament semifinals, 3-2, before falling to North Dakota State in the Championship, 3-0. Gruber and Silva were named to the 2011 Summit League All-Tournament Team.
ORU has never been beaten in their first match at a conference tournament, going 12-0 in tournament openers.
The winner of Friday's quarterfinal plays either second-seeded Sam Houston State or seventh-seeded Nicholls State in the semifinals on Saturday at 11 am CT.
The winner of Sunday's Championship match, which begins at 2 pm CT, earns the Southland Conference's automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA Tournament.

Creation of New Public Highways (Section 38 Agreement)
Where, as part of a development, a developer proposes to construct a new estate road for residential, industrial or general purpose traffic there are two main ways in which a new road may be offered to the Highway Authority for adoption to become maintainable at the public expense:
- The developer may complete the construction of the road and then offer it to the Highway Authority under Section 37 of the Highways Act 1980; or,
- The developer may opt for the more desirable route and enter into a legal agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980.
As the Highway Authority, the Council has no power to insist that a road is made up to an adoptable standard or that a road is subsequently offered for adoption. If the road under construction is to be adopted the role of the Council, as Highway Authority, is to ensure that it is built to the appropriate standard and adequately lit and drained.
The Section 38 agreement comprises a framework of clauses, conditions, terms and prescribed timescales within which the developer is expected to operate. Whilst the Highway Authority has no power to insist that a developer enter into a Section 38 Agreement, many consider it the most desirable route to achieve ultimate adoption of their estate road(s).
The adoption process can be lengthy and while the road is unadopted the developer is responsible for maintaining the road until adoption happens. On larger developments the completed road may be used as site access for more phases of the development, therefore adoption under a Section 38 is normally takes place on completion of the whole of the development. Further complications may arise if the site is divided into phases by different developers and on finishing the construction some developers leave the site before the roads are adopted.
A Section 38 agreement is supported by a bond or cash deposit calculated by the Highway Authority and based on the cost of the works proposed. This bond or cash deposit can be called upon if the developer goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults on his responsibilities.
If you are unsure of the status of any highway in Birmingham please contact our Highway Information Team. If the result of your query is that the highway is the subject of a Section 38 Agreement you can get more information by contacting our Private Development Section on 0121 303 7695.

FOR YOUR UPPER ECHELON incentive qualifiers, look no further than The Dorchester, Park Lane, London. Since 1831, The Dorchester has been heralded as one of London's best hotels, hosting all the important heads of state throughout the 19th, 20th, and now 21st centuries, with its British style and impeccable service — think butler-type-attentiveness.
While 9/11's aftermath has affected hotel business in London as well as the rest of the world, England's Golden Jubilee last June and a steady entertainment and media clientele made '02 bearable, says Natalie Kramer-Bowden, assistant director of sales. But The Dorchester has always enjoyed a steady stream of U.S. — generated incentive programs, and there's good reason.
The hotel has forged ahead with an extraordinary renovation to every guest room (and every room décor is different). Perhaps the most fun — and useful — part of the renovation has been the installment of 42-inch plasma screens in every room. You don't have to be a plugged-in exec or geek to get a kick out of this entertainment/computer system. The hotel has been upgraded with fiber optics and CAT 5 cables to provide a wide selection of entertainment and news channels, international channels, video on demand, three Micro-soft Office programs, and access to e-mail and the Internet. Laptops can be connected to the system via a high-speed VGA link at the desk, meaning you or your execs can use the room to make presentations. Having trouble? Dial the E-butler, from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and get help with anything on the system.
While the Dorchester's 11 conference and banqueting rooms can host from 12 to 1,000, the hotel prides itself on not being a convention hotel, says Kramer-Bowden. With its high level of personal service, it welcomes only one meeting or incentive group at a time, maxing out at 30 to 40 rooms. It also offers day packages for conference groups.
"We have 24-hour, front-office duty managers as well," she says. Which means that, 24/7, members of your group can get the royal treatment.
And while all of London's amazing sights, history, shopping, and off-site venues will beckon your qualifiers, be sure to allow enough free time for them to simply luxuriate in their guest rooms.

We offer handcrafted neo-classical food, epic design and atmosphere, and service that is both guide and companion throughout the experience. Come, ask questions, and enjoy

Delicious, well executed dishes.
Lots of energy. Really fun evening. We have ordered the three course tasting menu twice and loved it!"
Dined on 4/12/2014
Food is wonderful - although the
coffee is not good! Service was really slow and inattentive. I actually never received my diet coke! As there were four of us dining we each received our entree at a different time with about 5 to 8 minutes between the arrival of each of our orders. The coffee is too strong - and there is no sugar substitute -- only small cubes of sugar. And, since the coffee is served in small tea cup - one finishes the coffee quickly - but, no servers to be found to offer refills. The mimosas arrive in the smallest glass ever -- not worth the money! I know this place is named the Tasting Table - but should be named the Tasting Mimosa."
Dined on 4/13/2014
I'd been looking forward to
visiting this restaurant, my partner liked the food - I wasn't so thrilled. We went for the tasting menu which was $60 pp for 3 courses. To be fair, when asked if there was anything we didn't eat, I didn't think to mention rabbit which I wasn't keen on eating at anytime. My favorite was the Amuse Bouche. Perhaps the rabbit was not a great start...The alternate was tuna and artichoke. The next course included a fish which was lovely and a Pasta dish which again was good but again just a little small in it's portion size. The dessert was one that we had to share and 2 petit fours. I would go back for the atmosphere but not do the tasting menu. I guess with any tasting menu, you accept that you take your chances."
Dined on 4/4/2014
We loved our food at this spot as
well as the thoughtful layout and design of the space. The service was prompt and with a smile. Nothing too fancy we felt comfortable and well treated across the board."
Dined on 1/30/2014
I ate brunch here for the first
time this weekend, and man was it soooo good. We ordered a spread of food - biscuits, bacon, pepper quiche, croque madame, biscuits and gray with sausage, eggs in a basket - and ALL of it was delicious. Also, when my 6 year old wanted something that wasn't on the menu - an egg over easy with a side of toast, they happily made it for him."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Fantastic evening - First time
there and food and serve were incredible."
Dined on 3/26/2014
I found brunch a bit
underwhelming. I had high hopes but the food was mediocre at best. Perhaps dinner is better. I haven't completely lost faith in this restaurant. I'll give it one more shot. A side note: I did not care for the No Modifications or Substitions element. I have severe food allergies and this made it difficult to select and entree. I am happy to pay for modifications to fit my special needs, but this wasn't even an option."
Dined on 3/23/2014
Phenomenal food, tremendous
experience but can be pricey (not likely a place to frequent weekly or monthly). Service was great, discrete, and really allowed for my party to take our time and enjoy the moment. Highly recommend the corner table upstairs!"
Dined on 3/23/2014
Breakfast was good. I didn't order
anything adventurous on the menu, but what I did order (eggs, bacons) were delicious. The waiter was very attentive and the bus boys were also great!! My only complaint is the coffee and cappuccino. Both were very lukewarm. We thought ordering a second round would be better, but no so much! We asked one of the busboys for a hot cup and the third one was decent. A hot cup of joe is A REQUIREMENT for a good breakfast!"
Dined on 3/22/2014
If you count all of Los Angeles,
only Melise is better. Everything from the bread to the dessert is excellent. It is now our go-to restaurant. My only gripe -- The music is that techno-house music crap. A restaurant this hip and good should know better. But ignore it and have a great meal."
Dined on 2/1/2014
I took a date to the Tasting
kitchen the other night. Had the chefs tasting menu. It was one off the best meals I have had in years. It was subtle, complex and just fantastic. An awesome experience!"
Dined on 3/19/2014
Food was very good but the evening
was entirely a let down due to horrible service. Long wait for server to take drink order. I asked a couple of questions about two bottles of wine and he obviously was just guessing to the answer. I asked for a few minutes to think it over and he disappeared...for at least ten minutes. Didn't offer a somm to swing by or anything helpful. You would think that when a table wants to buy a bottle that more attention would be paid. The rest of the dinner went the same way. Saw the waiter maybe two times the entire evening. Complained to the host too."
Dined on 3/16/2014
It was especially warm last
Sunday, so we lucked out by being seated in the covered front patio, where we were able to enjoy the nice breeze that floated in from the open doors. The service was attentive and, considering how busy they were, it was also pretty fast; we didn't wait too long for our mimosas or our entrees. I had the waffles, which were good, not great, but then again, they were just waffles. If I were hungrier, I would've ordered the fried chicken or the fried oysters and spinach omelet. My friend had the grilled fig and cheese sandwich, which she loved. The mimosa was yummy, but for $11 a glass, I wished that the glass were larger, even just a little larger. All in all, it was a pleasant experience."
Dined on 3/16/2014
I was there with friends on a
Friday evening and spent almost three hours enjoying it all. The food is exceptional and the service outstanding. This place truly is among the better restaurants in LA. Well worth a visit."
Dined on 3/14/2014
I was recommended to go there for
the chicken & waffles. They were out of waffles. I wanted to get stake & egg whites, they would not so egg whites. The waitress took forever to get our coffee & only brought 3 when there were for of us. We ordered Bloody Mary's which were good & when my friend ordered another one they were "out" is the house version so he ha to order the uncharged one. My other friend wanted a side of fruit with her French toast & they said we don't do that. So to get fruit, she had to order a bowl of yogurt & fruit. REALLY???? We had 2 servers. One forgetful & one flat out rude. I am a professional bartender in NYC. I'm sad to say, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. I will never go there again."
Dined on 3/2/2014
people come to talk to each other
not yell there is enough of that at home with grandchildren…..please give us some peace"
Dined on 3/1/2014
Great service/waitress If you have
the gnocco/salumi definitely add the burrata well worth it. the tagliarini/shrimp/serrano was perfect not too spicy."
Dined on 2/28/2014
Easily one of the two or three
best dining experiences - led by the food - in LA, period. Brunch this time around was spectacular: fired oyster and eggs with lolla rossa and garlic toast; dynamite house Bloody Mary. Can't ask for better."
Dined on 3/1/2014
for a special occasion. or just a
casual tuesday night. tasting kitchen covers the whole gamut. we truly enjoyed a special birthday/going away dinner upstairs with our group. the pastas were unique and flavorful. we were able to take our time and enjoy our late dinner. thanks so much!"
Dined on 2/25/2014
Service went from overly attentive
at the beginning to non-existent the second part of the meal. Had to strain to get anyone's attention. Other unfortunate issue is the place is just insanely loud. So that overshadowed the food."
Dined on 2/23/2014
The Tasting Kitchen is a trendy,
happening restaurant with marvelous food and standout customer service. Our reservation was overbooked and they went out of their way to make us comfortable and gave us a generous compensation for the error. The wait staff could not have been nicer."
Dined on 2/17/2014
I went to the Tasting Kitchen with
my family for a special occasion and had a gift certificate. I think this is the only way I'd attend T.K again because I could never afford it otherwise. It was a great service and amazing food, but the group of frat boys that arrived as we were wrapping up our dinner ruined the ambiance."
Dined on 2/16/2014
Brunch is the hidden gem at
Tasting Kitchen…. it's not as scene-y as dinner, it's quieter (thankfully no rap music) and the portions are really generous. I have had the short rib hash twice …. it's not light but it is beyond good. My friends had the scrambled eggs and the frittata, which was amazing. You can also actually get a reservation."
Dined on 2/16/2014
I took a lady here on a date. She
is a chef and I love to cook so I wanted to try something with outstanding adventurous food. The Tasting Kitchen's prix fixe option for the evening did not disappoint. We each had several very tasty cocktails as well. I let the server, who was extremely knowledgeable and part of the evening's conversation, know that one of my drinks did not thrill me. They promptly replaced it with a drink I did enjoy, free of charge. I would come back here."
Dined on 10/30/2013
Upon arriving the restaurant was
relatively quiet; my wife and I were able to snag space at the bar. The cocktail menu is great with a large proportion of the menu dedicated to classics; drinks like the Singapore Sling and a Pisco Sour. The one detriment is the cocktails are rather pricey, around $12-14 each. Given the food to follow I would not suggest a great deal of imbibing anyhow. My wife and I settled on the "regular dinner", which is a total misnomer. Its more appropriate name would be "extraordinary dinner". The chef, based on personal allergies and avoidances, puts together a menu of their choice. Given my wife and I eat no pork, do no mix beef with dairy in the same meal, and do not eat shellfish this was not a simple challenge."
Dined on 2/9/2014
Venice has delivered another very
cool top dining spot. Upon entereing the Tasting Kitchen, my party was immediately struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere accentuated by the use of wood and natural materials, a lively bar and the casual elegance of patio and upstairs dining. We sat at an upstairs table overlooking the restaurant below, which was great for crowd-surfing. We started with a chef's selection charcuterie plate, including the which paired perfectly with the Spanish Godello wine suggested by our server. Also memorable were the big, buttery scallops, the moist and succulent branzino and the tagliatelle with sliced black truffles. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly, rounding out a quality evening at this Venice gem"
Dined on 2/6/2014
I love The Tasting Kitchen! This
is our 3rd time going and will definitely return. Had the mussels , promodoro pasta, and seafood soup, all amazing. Desserts fantastic as well; aggregator bread pudding absolutely incredible. Sat upstairs, which is perfect...not quite as loud. I highly recommend , just don't leave valuables in car if you valet...hidden sunglasses stolen. Unfortunate, but it happens."
Dined on 2/7/2014
I had my birthday dinner here last
week. No acknowledgement at all.... Not even a "happy bday" greeting. Certainly no bday dessert."
Dined on 2/7/2014
Ambiance was nice and cozy. We
were upstairs so it was a little quieter than the downstairs. Decor is a nice combo of simple, casual, dark varnished wood tables and bar, and touches of steam punk here and there...chandelier encased in a metal sphere. Hostess was VERY sweet and welcoming, may have been the assistant GM. Food was very tasty. Bread was yummy. Gnocco fritto w Salumi & burrata were good but I could have done without the gnocco fritto (fried puffed dough) my friend liked it though. Leg of lamb was my fav. The corzetti pasta w braised pork was tasty. Didn't care for the rigatoni noodles in the rigatoni lamb/anchovy pasta. Chicories salad was great! Drinks were great too! Nicely made cocktails."
Dined on 2/2/2014
From the amazing wine list to the
superb pastas to the incredibly delicious mains to the attentive and professional service to the felt layer on the undersurface of the tables, the Tasting Kitchen nails it every time. It's hard to think of anything to suggest be done differently. So so good."
Dined on 2/2/2014
I love the ambience, the drinks,
the Chicories salad, the chicken liver (when they have it), the hangar steak. But they really need to turn down the music plus redo the speaker placement. I know there is a better sound system than speakers directly over diners' heads. Plus I don't want to listen to rap during dinner, I would rather listen to my friend talk. But other than that I always love the TK and will always go back whenever I can."
Dined on 1/28/2014
WE had a great evening....
delicious food and great service. Plus, we did not have to yell in order to talk."
Dined on 1/24/2014
This is the second time I've been
to The Tasting Kitchen and chose the Chef's menu again. It was excellent! In fact, the 5 course meal actually had more food than we could eat. I don't recall this from the first time there. The first time felt more like all the courses were tapas. This time, there were two large portions that were fantastic but more food than we could handle. The energy is abundant at this place. I'd call it very "Abbott Kinney" … so expect some noise versus a quiet dining experience. The servers did a good job covering our table in pretty much a team effort. I will be back … the food here is outstanding!!"
Dined on 1/22/2014
Food was great, highly recommend
the bread. Would definitely go there again."
Dined on 11/22/2013
I was tempted to do the chef's
tasting, where the chef sends out his selection of three or five dishes, but since I don't know the chef at all, I thought it might be safer to order things that sounded good to me, lest I end up with a meal of things I'm not too fond of. The salt-roasted whole branzino with hedgehog mushrooms, pine nuts and oregano was a highlight of the meal, along with bread pudding al'affogato, which is a must for anyone who likes coffee. A shot of espresso is poured over a parfait of challah bread, caramel and bourbon gelato. How can you resist? Service was friendly but distant. Even on a Tuesday, they were busy, which is great. It's dimly lit, chairs are comfy but tables are close together, so I found it too noisy."
Dined on 1/21/2014
Had a nice variety of shared
dishes. All delicious. Wonderful cocktails. What's there not to love?"
Dined on 1/15/2014
my husband and I came for our
anniversary. started by sharing one "english garden" cocktail; I'm not normally a gin drinking but the cucumber enticed me. Quickly ordered another! For apps we shared the lentils (a MUST HAVE) and the radicchio salad (a tad bitter, but ok, prob would order again) For our main course we shared the Hangar Steak (wow!) and their version of a cioppino (I forgot what is was called, but I remember it was AMAZING!), and a bottle of wine. For dessert we shared some sorbet and their house special, which was also good. While the tab was pricey, we knew that going in. The food was delicious, the atmosphere perfect; we sat upstairs, so it was as noisy, and we were not hurried to leave. We were there 3 hours!!"
Dined on 1/9/2014
This is really a perfect LA
restaurant -- nice enough to take a special guest, romantic enough for a date, but also perfect if you just are in it for the food. The menu draws on very fresh ingredients, so though you won't see peas in the market in January, you can find a few perfect ones from their garden in a little amuse bouche the chef sends out. The 3-course tasting menu was perfect for two ladies and a good chance to try things you might not have thought to order, and discover you really liked. But for a special occasion, especially, please consider the extremely thoughtful, warm service, from the hosts, servers, and staff. All were so welcoming -- this is what hospitality is all about, and what is lacking in many expensive spots."
Dined on 1/5/2014
Service was fantastic, casual in a
good way and of great standard. The design and atmosphere were great, we asked to be moved to a quieter spot and they offered us a better place immediately. Chef's tasting menu was great and so was there advice on wines to go with it. Food was great, simple but well prepared and tasty, pasta was the least exciting but only because the rest was so good. All around definite recommendation."
Dined on 12/27/2013
From the drinks, to the appetizers
to the entrees, everything was outstanding. We weren't feeling ambitious enough to go with the blind meal option, though I'm sure the kitchen sends out wonderful stuff. Just a perfect restaurant."

Next Tuesday's School Board meeting will be all about the people who make education happen here in Collier County — the employees and volunteers. Together, they help make our world go 'round.
The board will recognize the district's outstanding Employees of the Year, School Volunteers of the Year, and Business Partners of the Year. I'm the one who routinely makes the recognition presentations at School Board meetings, and I'm guessing I'll be at the podium for awhile on the 17th. It'll be the best 45 minutes to an hour I will have spent in a long time since these are among the most worthy recognitions of the year.
So who, exactly, will we be honoring? Let's begin by telling you about the volunteers, the legion of volunteers, 4,378 to be exact. They have so generously given of their time, contributing an amazing 260,000 hours to our schools and students this school year. We'll salute an outstanding student volunteer, Stephane Azor who volunteers at Parkside Elementary, and her counterparts among the adult and senior citizen ranks, Kristy Breuler of Corkscrew Elementary and William MacNeill of Avalon Elementary respectively.
Then there's the venerable "Galaxy of Stars," the 36 volunteers who each gave at least 1,500 hours of their time during the course of this school year. The School Board will also present a Parent Involvement Award to Golden Gate Middle School.
The Education Foundation of Collier County and the board join forces in recognizing two Foundation Business Partners of the Year — CenturyLink and Wachovia — for supporting the foundation's new www.GetOnTheBusCollier.org website.
As the spotlight falls on the district's outstanding Employees of the Year, the board will be recognizing the district's nominee for Macy's Florida Teacher of the Year, Susan Soulard of Gulf Coast High School; Elementary Teacher of the Year Tim Coyle of Tommie Barfield Elementary School; Middle School Teacher of the Year Cathy Crowley of North Naples Middle School; High School Teacher of the Year Valerie Valdes of Gulf Coast High School; Post-secondary Teacher of the Year Barbara Spenik of Lorenzo Walker Institute of Technology; and the district's nominee for Florida School-Related Employee of the Year, Jeffrey Groce of New Beginnings-Immokalee.
And we're giving you the chance to meet them on the current edition of our District Digest TV show, on at 6 p.m. this evening and at 10 a.m. Sunday, on the Education Channel, Comcast cable 99, and online at www.collierschools.com. The six are our very special guests.

This was a BIG hit on the 4th. Thanks for the recipe.
Bean Salad
Inspiration: This one comes from Brandon's Mom and is something that he has been eating since he was a kid. Now, it's one of our favorite summer dishes. I made this most recently to take to a Fourth of July party over the weekend (how the heck is it Fourth of July time already?) as a dish that could sit out for several hours without having to be refrigerated. I always find that those kind of dishes are hard to come by, but this one fits the bill perfectly and is also super tasty.
What We Loved: This dish sure has a lot of fresh and nutritious ingredients going on. Creamy beans, crisp corn, bright carrots and cilantro, a touch of spicy jalapeno, and a nice bite from some onion and garlic really give you so many wonderful flavors in each bite. And the olive oil/lemon/garlic dressing just coats everything in all kinds of goodness. We can just eat this salad by the spoonful, particularly during the summer when all of the great bean and vegetable flavors taste so crisp and refreshing.
Tips: Brandon's Mom always serves this as a salsa with tortilla chips, and it's fabulous that way too. I think it's great as a side dish or even just on its own in a bowl for a nice light lunch. Also, you can either mince the onion, carrot, and jalapeno by hand (as I did this time around since I had some time) or throw them into the food processor for a quicker mince.
Bean Salad
Source: Slightly adapted from Brandon's Mom
Serves: A crowd
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can red beans, drained and rinsed
1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
3/4 cup red onion, very finely minced
3/4 cup carrot, very finely minced
1 jalapeno, very finely minced
Large handful cilantro, minced
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 heaping teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1. Combine the black beans, red beans, pinto beans, corn, onion, carrot, and jalapeno in a large bowl.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, vinegar, cumin, and salt.
3. Right before serving, pour the dressing over the bean mixture and mix together thoroughly.
13 thoughts on "Bean Salad"
This is delicious – I did add in an extra jalapeno and used a can less of black beans, and added in a sweet paprika chilli. So refreshing – I love all the recipes on this site! :)
trying to count calories do you know how many cups or servings this makes or could figure it out for us?
Also it is delish! I put it on home made tortillas =)

Veterans find jobs, and new mission, in clean technology
When military veterans search for jobs, they often want more than a paycheck. Many say they look for rewarding work and a team of dedicated people focused on a common mission.
With the war in Iraq officially over and the American presence in Afghanistan winding down, many veterans are finding new careers and that strong sense of purpose in the growing clean-tech economy.

What is BIG, Yellow & Black, and Scary? (to some)
This being the first day of school in our area, you might have answered that question by saying the school bus! But my riddle refers to the Yellow and Black Argiope spider, more correctly known as the Black & Yellow Argiope, an orb weaver.
I discovered this beauty last week. I was about to pull the dried day lily stems from the sides of my driveway when I came across this splendid spider. Wow! Pretty impressive. What kind is this? I wondered. The stems can wait; I hated to disturb it.
Getting out my trusty Audubon Field Guide to Insects and Spiders, I found my mystery spider was a female Black & Yellow Argiope. They are fairly common, although I had never seen one before. The guide said the males were small, 1/4" to 3/8"; the females are much larger, 3/4" to 1 1/8", so mine was a biggie.
I thought it would be fun to keep an eye on what she was up to so I would check on her daily. The next day I say she had caught a grasshopper and wrapped it up for future use. She also dined on a yellow-jacket a few days later.
While trying to get some closeups of Mrs. Spider, I found she quick as a wink could switch sides of her web. At first I thought I was seeing things, but she managed to slip through her web to sit on the opposite side faster than my eye could see. I remembered from studying spiders during my homeschool days that spiders did not get hung up on their sticky webs, as she so adeptly demonstrated.
I also remembered spiders had several different spinnerets, so to speak, on their web spinning orifice. The food storage web is a different type web material than the web itself, for example. The heavier zig-zag web was made by the male, according to my Audubon guide: "Male builds web in outlying part of female's web, making a white zig-zag band vertically across the middle."
Some people might look at a spider as just an object of horror. (Obviously I don't suffer from arachnophobia.) I look at the spider and its intricacies and marvel at its design and the Designer who created it. Just look at their spinneret organ and think about that happening by accident.
Sadly, my Mrs. Spider was nowhere to be found yesterday, nor have I been able to locate Mr. I will check on them again today. I did notice a new web nearby with a new Yellow and Black, this one a tan variation. For more information, check out what the Bug Guide has to say. They have many great photos of the color variations.
Now if you are brave enough, take a look at the Black & Yellow in action. Relax, they are not aggressive and rarely bite.

More concerned with what Brett Davis DID than what Lt. Gov. does
We have less than 2 weeks to go until Wisconsin's Primary Election and the campaign ads are in full swing. The Brett Davis ad I have been hearing is really something, proving that in this election cycle, saying you are a CONSERVATIVE is a must for the Republican side of the ballot. (The TV version is much the same but shorter.)
Representative Davis' ad features a glowing litany of what he did in the legislature, with a decidedly conservative, tax cutting spin. It claims he wants to transform the office of Lt. Governor into a taxpayer watchdog for the state. Great.
Trouble is, his complete voting record doesn't match his ad's promises. See what you think.
The Davis ad: In a lighthearted way, the Davis ad begins with a male voice asking a series of questions: For thousands of years, mankind has looked to answer the great questions of the day: Can we predict the end of time? When will Brett Farve retire? and What on earth does the Wisconsin Lt. Governor do?
Then a woman's voice comes on and seriously tells us the facts: Conservative Republican Brett Davis has a plan to end the days of Wisconsin's do-nothing Lt. Governor. Brett Davis will transform the job into the leading taxpayer watchdog in the state, with the chief mission of cutting wasteful spending in Madison. Brett Davis, a small businessman and legislator, who has voted 126 times to cut taxes by a total of $5 billion dollars. No one else running for Lt. Governor can say the same. Brett Davis has a 100% voting record with National Federation of Independent Businesses, is the only candidate with an A rated voting record from the NRA, and is endorsed by Wisconsin Right to Life. It ends with the usual vote Brett Davis on Sept. 14th....
Sounds good, doesn't it? Especially if you aren't familiar with Brett Davis' voting record in Wisconsin's Assembly!
When I look at a prospective candidate, I am far more concerned with what that person did in the past than the promises they make for the future. In fact, I will quote Mr. Davis' latest campaign email called "Home Strech" (Brett, you might want to make that stretch). He states, "But talk is cheap--actions speak louder than words."
First of all, since he is the only candidate that has been a legislator in Madison; obviously he is the only candidate with a legislature voting record!
And while in Madison, HE VOTED FOR THE FINAL DOYLE 2007-2008 BUDGET. Although Davis says the promise of a $4 Million dollar Soy Bean Crusher for his district (pork) to sweeten the pot on wasn't the reason, he was the "lone Republican" vote among the Democrats on an earlier compromise budget proposal just the same.
Davis' ad says he wants to "transform the job of Lt. Governor into the leading taxpayer watchdog in the state". In his email he promises, "I'm going to make the job meaningful by giving the office a purpose -- stopping wasteful spending."
Some Watchdog--seems more like a fox in charge of hen-house? Because by Brett Davis' vote in 2007, Davis approved of the $200 million dollar raid from the Patient's Compensation Fund and approved the inmates driver's license ID policy that he is now raging war against. And let's not forget his sponsorship of AB 15, a 2005 Ethanol Mandate Bill. Hardly the work of a true Conservative.
As for the endorsements, Ginny Marshman, a leader in Republican politics in Waukesha County, said this about Davis' pro life stance: "Brett Davis has a 75% pro-life record in the 2005-2006 session, voting against the Wisconsin Right to Life positions three times. His stance against the pro-life movement, including voting for Planned Parenthood's #1 agenda item in chemical abortion aka 'emergency contraception'." (Davis' voting record in 2007-2008 was 100%.)
Notice there is no Tax Hero status mentioned from Wisconsin Club for Growth as there is for real conservatives such as Leah Vukmir or Jim Ott or Glenn Grothman, to name a few.
Yup. You can dress 'em up and even call them Conservative in the ads, but their voting record remains. I can only hope voters this time around will do a little research before they cast their vote on Sept. 14th.
My vote is going for a genuine Conservative, Rebecca Kleefisch, for Lt. Governor. She is Pro-Life, Pro 2nd Amendment, and says NO to high speed rail, for example. If I were not voting for her, I would choose David Ross, Mayor of Superior.
Certainty we can do better than Brett Davis, a Madison middle of the roader for Lt. Governor.

I subscribe to The Wall Street Journal, and it is always one of the more relaxing and thought provoking segments of my week when I settle into a comfortable chair and peruse the week's pages for topics of interest.
The subscription is expensive compared to the cost of most daily publications, but is an illustration of the adage, "you get what you pay for". The people who publish The WSJ seem committeed to the quaint notion that the individuals they hire on to their newspaper should be able to - well - write. Objective readers may differ with its philosophies, but cannot I believe, deny the quality of its content. Its feature story staff writes from the vantage point of a broad, liberal education, and then steeps its work in analysis, insight, and craft; all resulting in output far superior to that of any daily publication I have encountered.
Wisconsin 14th Assembly Forum tonight in Tosa with Kooyenga, Coon, Maurer...
Just a reminder that if you are still undecided about Wisconsin's 14th Assembly District race, there is a Candidate Forum at the Wauwatosa Public Library (76th Street and North Ave.) at 7pm tonight.
All 6 candidates are to be there: Dale Kooyenga, David Coon, Chris Maurer, Dennis Kaun, Michael Olen, and Ryan Shulander.
I admit I have been torn as to who to vote for in this race; I vascilated between David Coon, Chris Maurer, and Dale Kooyenga. It isn't often one has so many choices!
But I have decided on Dale Kooyenga. Rarely have I ever seen a candidate campaign as energetically and effectively as Kooyenga has, which hopefully will translate into how hard he will work for us in Madison!
It isn't just his energy though, it is his platform and endorsements that resonate with me. He has signed the American's for Tax Reform Pledge not to raise taxes and is endorsed by Pro-Life Wisconsin, Wisconsin Right to Life, and Wisconsin Family Action. Individual endorsements include Brookfield Mayor Steve Ponto, Wauwatosa Mayor Jill Didier, and Elm Grove Village President Susan Freedy as well as past President Neil Palmer, to name a few.
So if you haven't decided, tonight would be a good opportunity to get to know the candidates.
NOTE FOR BROOKFIELD DISTRICT 7 RESIDENTS: Remember Heritage Christian School is NO LONGER our polling place! You must go to St. Lukes on Greenfield and Davidson Road to vote.

Who ate my dill?
One day this summer, I noticed my dill was stripped clean in my vegetable garden, which disappointed me, to say the least. Upon further inspection, I found the culprit. It was a plump Black Swallowtail caterpillar! Somehow my disgust quickly dissipated into delight.
I quickly looked over my other carrot family plants like cilantro, parsley and Queen Anne's Lace, hoping to find more. Black Swallowtails feed on plants from the Parsley/Carrot family. In fact, some people call them parsley-worms. I didn't see any more caterpillars that day but decided to make a point of watching my little friend's progress from then on.
Since he had eaten all my dill, I moved him over to some Queen Anne's Lace. Two days later he had undergone a change; he had attached himself to a stem. The next day he started making the chrysalis, which became more colorful as time went on.
Fully expecting him to overwinter in my garden, I marked the spot where he was so as not to disturb it when cleaning out my flowerbeds in the fall. We then went on vacation for 2 weeks.
First thing I did when I got home though was to check on my guest. He was gone! I missed the show.
From my first encounter to the chrysalis stage took about 10 days. How long it took him to transform and fly the coop, I don't know. What I do know is, next year, I am planting more dill!
Although I did find a few more caterpillars in my garden, I never did find their chrysalises. I hope they have moved on to start the whole life-cycle all over again as well.
If you have never witnessed the unusual transformation of caterpillars into butterflies, you have missed one of God's most amazing little shows on earth. The intracacy of each stage and how different each is from the other is truly a mystery--a mystery I never tire of witnessing.

Disconnected - Technology and Today's Youth
I have written several times in the last four years about the ever increasing reality of the impact technology is having on our kids. I have also written of the fabulous times we have enjoyed on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan. This posting combines both.
When speaking of technology I always feel the need to make the obligatory disclaimers. I am no Luddite; like you, I use the wonderful technological tools at our disposal and depend on them daily for work, pleasure, and convenience. They are a marvelous source of productivity, exploration, education, and musical enjoyment for me and my family. But like anything, technology can be over-used, and is I fear, enormously over used by so many young people. The incredible combination of heretofore unimagined power and portability is making these products little more than electronic appendages for so many. Aristotle taught of The Golden Mean, and that anything excessively used or indulged in becomes by defintion, a negative influence. It is time to remember the Great Master's lesson when we consider this topic.
My primary ballot picks
It is time to decide! Wisconsin's Primary Election is Tuesday, September 14th. In Wisconsin, that means one party voting--no crossing over. I voted Republican.
Here are my picks in the order they appeared on my ballot: (I am voting for all running unopposed but will not mention them below.)
Governor: Scott Walker
Scott walker has run a very positive campaign, I think. His ads were upbeat and almost had an Andy of Mayberry quality to them. His latest ad, holding Neumann's feet to the fire for his vote for a pork laden transportation bill while in Congress was more pointed however.
Walker rally made political hay, ad gained national attention
Should Mark Neumann prevail, I will hold my nose and vote for him in November, but I do not like how he has run his campaign. His latest ad about career politicians going negative is absurd considering he was the first to go negative and only recently reinvented himself as the kinder, gentler Mark Neumann. Now he seems to be back in negative mode. In addition, I have a problem with a candidate who chides government spending but owns a business that benefits from government subsidies on green technology. Hopefully I will not have to hold my nose in November. Mark Neumann opposes Vermont-style concealed carry!
Lieutenant Governor: Rebecca Kleefisch I also think Dave Ross would be a good choice, but it does not seem he has campaigned much down here--at least nothing has come to my mailbox.

More concerned what Brett Davis DID than what Lt. Gov. does
State Treasurer: I have not settled on a candidate. It is not an office I have followed, so I will leave it blank. (I do not vote for people I do not know anything about.) FYI, Randy Melchert picked Scott Feldt.
United States Senate: Ron Johnson If you remember, I urged people to call up Ron to encourage him to run for Senate back in April. In one early conversation with him, I think he joked I was his first fan. He has done well in his campaign and will do well for us in Washington.
Ron Johnson, Feingold virtually tied in poll" November can't come fast enough!
Ron Johnson enters US Senate race
Ron Johnson would be my ideal candidate
David Westlake should run for a state office if he is interested in serving. He is a good conservative voice and would be a good representative at the state level.
Representative to the Assembly District 14: Dale Kooyenga Dale Kooyenga is a solid conservative and will serve us well in Madison. He has run a very energetic, organized campaign from what I can see and is spot on on the issues that matter to me.
Wisconsin 14th Assembly Forum tonight in Tosa with Kooyenga, Coon, Maurer...
Waukesha County Sheriff: Daniel Trawicki I voted for Dan. He is endorsed by many legislators that I admire, such as Leah Vukmir. I was wary of his opponent, Tom Alioto, who was off of work for over a year due to a "hostile environment". How would he manage a larger department? I stuck with Trawicki.

Welcome to an Exciting New School Year
One of the most exciting aspects about a new school year is the sense of excitement and anticipation that is experienced by all. This is an exceptionally exciting new school year for many of us as that are new members of the St. John Vianney School community.
The 2010-2011 school year officially began for the school staff on September 27th. Teachers were welcomed back to school with a special breakfast compliments of the SJV Home and School Association. Truth be told, many of the teachers had already been back for weeks preparing their classroom and planning their instructional units. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of that week, our staff was engaged in numerous in-service opportunities. It was a rich combination of activities as we discussed ITBS scores, began work on our data action plan, attended a quad-parish inspirational presentation
by Fr. Tony Zimmer and participated in an all staff Mass. One of our community building activities included a tour of our rooms as Fr. Phillip Bogacki, Associate Pastor, blessed instruments used in our roles as educators such as the textbooks and SMARTboard technology.
On Wednesday evening we welcomed sixth grade students and their families to a prayer service in church and middle school overview sessions in the classrooms. This was followed by a wonderful Orientation Day on Friday as the students and the parents arrived ready to unpack school supplies, purchase spirit wear, volunteer for lunchroom and playground supervision and have school portraits taken. There was a strong pulse of positive energy throughout our building as teachers warmly welcomed students into their new classroom and children greeted their classmates and friends.
Monday, August 30 marked our first official day of instruction. Students arrived wearing their uniforms and ready to embark on new learning opportunities. We were thrilled to welcome forty new students representing approximately thirty new families to SJV. Upon visiting the classrooms, I experienced teachers engaging students in activities designed to familiarize them with their new students and clear expectations were established for their study.
On Wednesday, September 1, we experienced our first children's liturgy of the school year. How beautifully this illustrates that our learning occurs in a rich faith filled community. I am hopeful that parents and community members will join us at Mass at 8:00am on most Wednesdays.
Parent Information Night was held Thursday evening beginning at 7:00 pm. This night provided parents some one on one time with the faculty who will instruct their child(ren) this year.
On September 10, to celebrate and welcome all our students and their families, we will have our Back to School Pizza Bash.
No wonder we are experiencing a sense of exhilaration. All of these rich traditions and activities can mean only one thing. This is the beginning of a wonderful new school year at SJV!
Christ's blessings,
Pam Pyzyk, Principal
St. John Vianney School
St. John Vianney School welcomes new students and invites the family to tour the campus and meet and our outstanding faculty and students. To schedule a tour, please contact Pam Pyzyk, Principal at 262-796-3942 or email@example.com.

Lots of Process - No Peace
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is turning her attention to the Middle East Peace Process, and certainly clear thinking people of all inclinations can join in wishing her well.
But some things are so simple they become difficult. Since the 1967 Arab/Israeli War, U.S. Presidents and Secretaries of State of BOTH parties have been pursuing the peace "process" in the Middle East. It has become all but obligatory, the diplomatic and political equivalent of a physical reflex. The actual achievement of PEACE has become secondary. As long as the all-important "process" is engaged, that's the important thing.

My Personal Trainer
She has me up at the crack of dawn, insisting that breakfast is the most important meal of the day (or at least one of the most important). After a brief nap she is barking out our marching orders. Then a brisk walk in all kinds of weather (except for thunder which she thinks is extremely dangerous) before getting on with the routine of the day (which includes a lot of napping on her part). If she thinks I need to get up and move (run up and down the stairs), she creates a diversionary tactic (opening the refrigerator or getting into a closet). She gets me up and moving when dinner time is near and makes sure I get out for a late evening constitutional. Then it is early to bed (for her at least) and we repeat it all again the next day. Without her I might not be an Elmbrook Volunteer. She is a 12 + year old Elmbrook rescue; I've had her for 3 of those years and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Table of contents
This finding aid brings together information about the Huntington's collections of panoramic negatives. These 436 negatives are located in three separate collections: the Verner Collection of Panoramic Negatives, the Harold A. Parker Collection of Photographs and Negatives, and the "Dick" Whittington Studio Collection of Photographs and Negatives. They depict Los Angeles and surrounding areas, and group portraits, 1889-1958. The collection is an important resource for the visual history of Los Angeles, and contains photographs by some of the better known photographers and photographic firms of the first part of the twentieth century.
Harold A. Parker (1878-1930) was born in Iowa and immigrated to Pasadena with his parents in 1892 at the age of 14. He became interested in photography at an early age, and began working professionally in 1900. He opened his Pasadena studio in 1904 and operated it until his death in 1930 at the age of 52. Parker also operated a studio in the Tahoe Tavern at Lake Tahoe between 1908 and 1910, where he produced a number of images of both the Tavern, Lake Tahoe, and the surrounding areas. Parker was noted for his photographs of California, especially his images of the California Missions and the Tournament of Roses parades; he was also responsible for the earliest aerial images of Pasadena. A commercial photographer, Parker worked as a contract photographer for the Pasadena Star-News Tournament of Roses edition, and took pictures of civic and social organizations, local retailers, and private individuals who commissioned him to record their gatherings, buildings, and various rites of passage.

At lunchtime, Alabama held the No. 1 spot on Rivals, while Auburn was ranked third by Scout.
Inversely, Alabama was sixth on Scout, while Auburn was second on Rivals.
The split from the two services, which are considered the major players in the recruiting game, came in their evaluation of the players.
Among the players the schools currently have National Letters of Intent from, Rivals gave each two 5-star prospects. But for Alabama, Rivals gave it 15 4-stars, while Auburn has only 12.
At Scout, Auburn has three 5-stars to Alabama's 2, and each have 13 4-stars.
Both teams had their share of hits and misses.
Auburn won the services of Cyrus Kouandjio, who is considered by many as one of the top offensive linemen in the country — which is particularly important to the Tigers considering they lost four starters off an offensive line that paved the way to a national title. They also landed Valley safety Enrique Florence.
Alabama won an on-again, off-again affair with Brent Calloway — who was an Alabama commitment, then an Auburn commitment, then back to Alabama — and took Jeoffrey Pagen from Georgia.
However, Alabama missed on Isaiah Crowell.
Locally, at Oxford, things went just as planned.
Allan Carson and Bobby McCain stayed true to their commitments both heading to the Volunteer State and signing with Tennessee and Memphis, respectively.
Carson, a 6-1, 325-pound defensive tackle, had been committed since early July, while McCain, a lockdown corner, had just recently made commitment his commitment to the Tigers.
