Food Fight!
Well, not really. But I somehow got myself into doing a Top Chef-like cookoff tomorrow night- Mommy bloggers vs Foodie bloggers at the Kenmore Live Studio in Chicago.
We were paired off (Mom blogger/food blogger) and given the same ingredient to make a dish (with our own recipe, something healthy we'd make our family for dinner.) I got "spinach" and that's pretty awesome because I LOVE spinach. I decided to make a vegetarian dish and will whip up a simple pasta with spinach, lemon, & pine nuts. Probably the easiest recipe we'll see tomorrow, but it's totally something I make for my family.
We'll see how it goes and I'll totally share the recipe.
You can get involved with the "contest" in a couple ways. If you're in the area, you can actually attend the free show tomorrow night- just RSVP here. I think you'll also be able to watch it live (the kids are hoping to do this) (*more on that in a sec). Also, if you're on Twitter tomorrow night and have nothing better to do, I think you can vote for me by using the hashtag #kls and my twitter handle @babysteph. You can watch my tweets and that hashtag for more specific instructions then.
*At dinner last night, I was telling the kids all about what I'll be doing tomorrow night and they said Ooooh do you think you will win? Wow I bet you could maybe get THIRD place! And I was like, um, you don't think I could win? They were like, ehh, maybe second?
[Photo above has nothing to do with this post, but it's cute and summer and I have been meaning to post it.]

CD/LP/Track Review
Hardcoretet: Do It Live (2012)
Hailing from Seattle, Hardcoretet convey glimpses of vintage jazz fusion along with inferences to the region's renegade stylistic tendencies, topped off with youthful fortitude. Essentially, the group packs a big punch into this LP-length outing. A tight-knit and well-rehearsed unit, the musicians also delve into loose-groove frameworks, awash with clear and articulately executed sax and keys parts amid spiking dynamics and subtle shifts in tempo. Hardcoretet also transmits a radio-friendly vibe in spots, owing to compositions that are designed with melodic hooks. But swelling intensity, punishing crescendos, and heated improvisational exchanges offer additional forums for the artists to stretch their wares.
Indeed, it's a charismatic unit. On "Distractions in Direction," Martell Brown's warm sax parts infer a foreboding undertow, spiced by Aaron Otheim's crisp electric piano voicings. However, they elevate the piece into a power-packed venture, offset by nimbly exercised unison runs with a topsy-turvy line of attack. Catchy riffs nicely counter dreamy soundscapes as a touch of studio-generated echo delivers a glimpse into the netherworld. Hence, raw firepower gives way to ethereal qualities as they model structural components via several distinct parts, eliciting a seamless coalition of diverse routes.
The quartet kindles remembrances of classic Return to Forever on "Urban Tribes." Here, they begin with a stewing motif and stir the kettle afterwards. Hardcoretet illustrates a newer and perhaps more streamlined view of jazz fusion. The artists make every note count and are more concerned with song forms rather than rendering endless soloing jaunts. They impart a comprehensive vernacular and are obviously having some fun along the way.
Track Listing: Santa Barbara; Yeti; Distractions In Direction; Steady; Urban Tribes.
Personnel: Tarik Abouzied: drums; Art Brown: alto saxophone; Tim Carey: electric bass; Aaron Otheim: keyboard.

Alternative Names
Abscess – skin; Cutaneous abscess; Subcutaneous abscess
Definition of Skin abscess
A skin abscess is a collection of pus and infected material in or on the skin.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Skin abscesses are fairly common. They occur when an infection causes pus and infected material to collect in the skin.
Signs and tests
Your doctor can diagnose the condition based on the appearance of the area. A culture or examination of any drainage from the lesion may help identify what organism is causing it.
Moist heat (such as warm compresses) may speed healing and may help a skin abscess drain. DO NOT push and squeeze on the abscess.
Expectations (prognosis)
Most skin abscesses can be cured with proper treatment. More often now, the bacteria does not respond to regular antibiotics. This is called methicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA).

Alright I bet you never thought of bacon for this!!
Recently, Bill Gates noted that the condom is the single best method of preventing unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, and challenged inventors to come up with a better condom that would promote regular use.
Well, Bill, consider it done. Behold, the Bacon Condom by J & D's Foods (whose motto is "Everything should taste like bacon") ... and yes, it's lubricated with "Baconlube," a water-based meat-flavored personal lubricant.

Bet against Elon Musk at your own peril. Just ask The New York Times—or the short-sellers who had been counting on Musk's Tesla Motors to be the next electric carmaker to short-circuit.
Quite the opposite has happened, the California EV manufacturer reported Wednesday its first-ever profit of $11.2 million as sales of its Model S sedan outpaced even its own, optimistic expectations. And Tesla is promising even better numbers for the rest of the coming year as it ramps up production at its assembly plant near San Francisco and opens up new markets in Europe and Asia.
(Read More: Tesla Earnings Blow Past Expectations; Shares Surge)
That's sent Wall Street into a frenzy, Tesla shares surged 24 percent in the hours after the maker's first-quarter earnings announcement—and doubled since hitting a low point late last winter. That's bad news for the short-sellers who hold more than 40 percent of the battery-carmaker's shares, and who had been anticipating more bad news after Tesla's unexpectedly steep loss during the fourth quarter of 2012.
Skeptics certainly have had reason to predict the worst, at least if they were watching the rest of the nascent electric vehicle market where, with rare exception, things have been coming unplugged.
(Read More: Tesla Changes Financing Plan to Silence Critics, Attract Buyers)
The much-ballyhooed Fisker Automotive recently laid off three quarters of its workforce and, during a hearing on Capitol Hill last month, company officials signaled bankruptcy may be in the offing. Little battery-carmaker Coda recently filed for Chapter 11. Even the much ballyhooed Chevrolet Volt has been losing momentum. And battery-car suppliers may be in even worse shape, battery maker A123 being purchased by a Chinese maker—and renamed B456—after its own financial collapse.
(Read More: Fisker Fires Most of Its Rank-and-File Employees)
There are a few modest bits of good news, such as the recent upturn in demand for the Nissan Leaf after the Japanese makers cut the price of the battery-electric vehicle and began production at a new plant in Tennessee. But for the moment, at least, Tesla seems to be the battery-car market's only real success story.
The Silicon Valley firm managed to claw its way into the black after a decade of losses—and despite having to cough up $13 million toward the $465 million federal loan it had received as part of a controversial Department of Energy program meant to fund clean, alternative propulsion technology.
Things hadn't looked nearly so good going into the New Year. The launch of the Model S went far more slowly than expected at the old Toyota plant near San Francisco that Tesla had purchased. But suggesting "our manufacturing processes stabilized," Musk told shareholders that production is now running faster than expected, even as the number of manhours per vehicle has dropped by 40 percent. The maker sold about 10 percent more of the battery sedans than it expected during the first quarter, and at a price well above its initial projections. In fact, Tesla has now dropped the base version of the Model S, focusing on longer-range—and significantly higher-priced—versions.
For the full year, Tesla now expects to produce about 21,000 of the sedans. Compared to most manufacturers, that number would barely show up on the sales charts, but it's significant for the electric vehicle industry. And it could create even more woes for short-sellers and skeptics.
(Read More: Behind the Wheel, Putting the Tesla to the Test)
For all his bravado, Musk recognizes it won't be easy to keep the moment going. As the front man for Tesla, he has taken a number of steps meant to "address some of the issues people have about electric cars" in recent weeks, including a new no-fault battery warranty that will cover just about any failure short of an owner intentionally destroying the lithium-ion pack. And a new finance program allows buyers to trade the vehicle back in for a guaranteed price after three years. They can alternately trade up for a more expensive version of the sedan.
"I want to give people peace of mind," explained Musk, who made his fortune with the Internet PayPal service and now also runs the SpaceX commercial space delivery program.
But perhaps the biggest endorsement has come from the widely respected and closely followed Consumer Reports magazine, which has given the Model S a score of 99 on a 100-point scale, something no other vehicle has achieved in six years.
(Read More: Consumer Reports: Tesla Model S Among Best Ever Reviewed)
"The Tesla Model S is packed with technological innovation," wrote Jake Fisher, director of Automotive Testing for the magazine. "It accelerates, handles and brakes like a sports car, it has the ride and quietness of a luxury car and is far more energy efficient than the best hybrid cars."
That's a big turnaround from the harsh review the Model S got from The New York Times earlier this year, a write-up that triggered an angry war of words that the newspaper ultimately conceded, acknowledging its reporter did not use "good judgment."
Considering all the problems facing the battery-car market, the short-sellers likely aren't about to give Tesla an easy pass. The maker is going to have to continue delivering in the quarters ahead. But if it does, that could be good news for its competitors, as well, a signal that there really is a place for the battery car in the U.S. market.

Stop 17 of the High School camp tour is at the home of the Celtics. Roanoke Catholic is coming off a 3-7 season from a year ago, and they acknowledge that they are making schedule changes to try and play teams that are more suited to their program. Many of the VIS schools that have been on the Celtics schedule recently dwarf them in size to the point where they can't be competitive with those teams. On this year's schedule, Roanoke Catholic will play the likes of Auburn, Parry McCluer and Craig County to try and take on schools of similar enrollments. The Celtics will dress only 19 players this season, and a couple have never played football before this season. But longtime coach Bob Price explains that this group has displayed amazing unity and work ethic, and they have been a pleasure to coach.

For Danielle Fanelle, there is no other place where the 20-year-old feels more comfortable than on the ice of a skating rink.
Fanelle says she has wanted to be a figure skater since she was a little girl.
"I remember it so vividly, just stepping onto the ice. It's a feeling you can't describe," Fanelle said.
In her quest to be a figure skater, Fanelle says she has had to work harder because she was losing her hearing. But two years ago, when she was a junior in high school, she says the situation became unbearable.
"I couldn't hear things, nothing was loud enough, it came down to that. I couldn't hear anything."
But even hearing loss wouldn't be enough to defeat her.

These were my first boots to help reduce start up costs. They are durable, the sole has lasted well and the buckles have never came undone or broken after a year riding. I now use a boot offering more stability and protection as my riding has progressed. I still use these boots for light trail riding and they do a good job.Read All Reviews

The Blake Prize for Religious Art, launched in 1951, opened a challenge as well as an opportunity to artists like Grace Cossington Smith and the younger Sidney Nolan, who were, in different ways, working within a modernist idiom.
Though a devout Anglican, there is no record of Cossington Smith's response to the announcement of this new award. Recently returned from England where, with her sisters Diddy and Madge, she had been since 1949 visiting friends and relatives, she was in no position to submit an entry in its inaugural year of 1951. Nor did she enter in its second. While in England she had exhibited two oils -
Morning landscape
at London's Redfern Gallery Summer Exhibition in 1949, and
Still life with Australian banksia
at the Royal Academy in the winter of 1950 - but for the most part she worked in coloured and lead pencil in sketchbooks now held at the National Gallery of Australia. There, in the rich record of her travels, are sketches of churches in the English towns and villages she visited, drawn with a reverential eye.
In considering
I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven
, there is particular relevance in the sketches she made in Italy, where she spent the summer of 1949 with her friend Nell Campbell. Based near Florence at Poggio San Felice - her window opened onto hills and church towers she saw in situ for the first and only time the fresco paintings of the quattrocento. She knew them from reproductions, of course, and had long admired Fra Angelico; there is a coloured pencil sketch dating from 1947, before she left for England, called
Church window after Fra Angelico: Resurrection
. To see the frescos, to stand in their presence as a Christian was, for her, a profound experience. 'In the sacred fresco cycles of Florence,' Bruce James writes, Cossington Smith found 'an affirmation of art's religious purpose, rational impulse and expressive licence.'1
It was this affirmation that was given expression in the two large oils she entered for the third Blake Prize in 1953.
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, Asked Him a Question
, a text from St Mathew, was accepted and exhibited. It is now held by the National Gallery of Australia.
I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven
, which took its text from Revelations, was not accepted for exhibition. Described in 1990 as a painting that 'defies art-historical stereotypes' 2, it was perhaps considered too radical a work in 1953. It would be twenty years before it had a public showing, in the Art Gallery of New South Wales's retrospective of her work in 1973.
Daniel Thomas, who curated the retrospective, had joined the staff of the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1958, just as Bernard Smith was finishing his book
Australian Painting 1788-1960
. It was through him that Thomas first encountered the work of Grace Cossington Smith and saw
The sock knitter
, 1915, purchased by the Gallery in 1960. In 1967 he began work on the retrospective, visiting the artist at Cossington, the family home at Turramurra, a northern Sydney suburb, where she had lived since 1914. In her studio Thomas found such major works as
Soldiers marching
The lacquer room
1935-6, and
The bridge-in-curve
1930, as well as some of the great interiors of the 1950s, including
Interior with wardrobe mirror
1955 and
Way to the studio
Also in the Turramurra studio was
I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven
. Thomas subsequently bought it for his own collection, and in 1995 it passed to the Grundy collection. It is a quirky image offering, it might be said, a modern take on the great wall-paintings of Florence. A circle of sitting saints, some with large bottoms overflowing their stools, surrounds a figure of God seated on a golden throne in a yellow-green aureole. The saints are finely drawn with arms and hands in a variety of attitudes. In a move typical of Cossington Smith, who valued the accuracy of what she saw, she used as a model her own bottom and the soles of her feet as they appeared in a mirror at Cossington. A bearded figure looks up through a doorway in reverence. Bruce James suggests that this figure might be a version of Cossington Smith herself 3. The door through which he looks is widely taken to be a reference to Cossington. 'Note the door,' she said to Daniel Thomas. 4
From her student days Cossington Smith had sketched doors and windows, the threshold between light and shade, inside and out. The trope of the door opening reaches its fullest expression in the great interiors she painted in the years after her return from Europe in 1951. Where the early sketches had been, as she so often said, attempts to paint what she saw - her stated aim from the beginning - the late interiors are as much revelations of things unseen, the numinous in the ordinary, the miraculous in the everyday. While Blake Prize judges of today would have no difficulty in understanding these works as religious art, that was not so in 1953. In
I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven
, influenced by Fra Angelico and the frescos she had seen in Italy, she gives shape to a divine realm glimpsed from a doorway at Cossington. It was in these terms that Daniel Thomas understood its significance as a religious painting. To Bruce James and also to Deborah Hart, who included it in the exhibition
Grace Cossington Smith
at the National Gallery of Australia in 2005, it represents a key moment in her work, arching back to her earliest sketches and looking forward to the luminosity of the late interiors.
'The work is significant,' Hart writes, 'in making the invisible visible, revealing a subtext in much of Cossington Smith's art: the desire to integrate the spiritual into the everyday. It was as though, at sixty years of age, the artist's own revelation appeared through the door of her home at Cossington, where she had lived since 1914.'5
Talking to Daniel Thomas in the early 1970s, Cossington Smith spoke of the feeling of returning at the end of the day to 'the smile of home', a phrase from her father which she used as the title of a 1925 sketch of a sister standing in the lighted doorway of Cossington 6, capturing the mood of welcome. She would, as Hart suggests, 'come full circle as the door opened onto her luminous late interiors'.

Sterling, Kan.- The Gleason Center was rockin' as the Sterling College Warriors thumped the Tabor College Bluejays 86-68 in a game that moved Sterling into a first place tie atop the KCAC. The Warriors started off down by three points, but then went on a 15 to zero run to pounce on Tabor early. The was back and fourth in the first half, but SC would take over in the second half.
The first half consisted tight basketball with each team struggling to maintain a lead. Trent Stutzman was on fire for Sterling in the first half, going three for five from the three point line. With about 10 seconds left in the first half, Zach Goodrich stole the ball and made a lay-up to give Sterling a 31-29 halftime lead.
In the second half the Warriors came out quick and went on a six to zero run. From that point forward, Sterling controlled the game. Adam Brown wowed the crowd with an acrobatic dunk in the second half, insuring that momentum stayed with the Warriors on their way to an 86-68 victory.
The leading scorer for the Warriors was Goodrich with 16 points followed by Zach Poole and Cody Brazelton with 15 points apiece. Also in double-figures were Stutzman with 12 and Raheem Odomes with 10.
With the victory, Sterling moves to 12-9, 8-3 overall. The Sterling College Warriors' next game will be against Bethany at the Gleason Center on Saturday at 7:00 pm.

Cooking Seafood 101
How to Boil a Lobster
1. Choose your lobsters. Hard-shell, cold-water specimens are best.
2. Add peeled and chopped carrot and onion as well as chopped celery to a large pot (a three-gallon model is right for two lobsters), plus 1 beer or 1 cup of dry white wine; 2 gallons of water; and 3 to 4 tablespoons of salt. Cover and bring liquid to a boil.
3. Remove the rubber bands from the claws while holding the lobster around the sides of the body. Drop into the pot headfirst and cover immediately, keeping the heat on high. The lobsters should be completely submerged.
4. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove and serve immediately. –D.B.
How to Shuck an Oyster (Web Bonus: Watch a video demo!)
1. Choose oysters with firm, closed shells that feel heavy for their size. Wash thoroughly and let dry. (Do not let them sit in fresh water.)
2. Place the oyster on a flat surface with the flatter shell facing up and the more-cupped shell facing down.
3. Angle an oyster knife and gently insert it into the back hinge between the shells, firmly pushing the tip of the knife into the hinge. Protect your nonwielding hand with a thick glove or kitchen towel.
4. Turn the handle toward you about 45 degrees; the shell should pop open slightly. Slide the knife from the back to the front of the top shell to sever the adductor muscle. Remove the top shell.
5. Slide the knife under the bottom muscle to cut it away from the shell. Serve in the cup-shaped bottom shell.–D.B.
How to Roast a Whole Fish
1. Select a fish (red snapper and black bass work well). Your fishmonger can scale it.
2. Rinse the fish, including the body cavity. Lay it on a kitchen towel and pat dry.
3. Remove fins and gills using kitchen scissors.
4. Score the fish with a knife, making five parallel 1-inch cuts. Don't cut too deeply into the flesh
5. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat the fish with olive oil and season with kosher salt. Lightly coat a casserole dish with olive oil, add herbs to the bottom, and lay the fish on top.
6. Place the dish in the oven's center. After 18 minutes, check doneness by inserting a fork behind the head. The fork should move easily when twisted. Remove from the oven, garnish with lemon juice, olive oil and sea salt, and serve. —C. P.
How to Grill Calamari
1. Rinse the calamari tubes (about five per person) under cold water, pat dry, and lay on a flat surface.
2. Press and slide your finger along the exterior of the tube, flattening it from the tip toward the opening, to force out any debris.
3. Insert your finger into the tube to loosen and remove any plastic-like cartilage.
4. Place calamari into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
5. Prepare a hot grill. Lay the calamari on the grill in a single layer, with about a quarter- to a half-inch of space between pieces. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until slightly charred. (The tubes will shrink by about a quarter-inch and may release bubbles.)
6. Transfer tubes to a cutting board and slice into thin rings. –C. P.
How to Steam Clams
1. Rinse 16 to 18 countneck clams in cold water. (Parsons likes to get his from Woodbury Shellfish in Wellfleet.)
2. Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat.
3. Add three cloves of garlic (smashed), toasting until fragrant; 1 inch of white wine; a splash of chicken stock; a few black peppercorns; and some parsley stems. Cover and increase heat to high, bringing liquid to a rapid boil.
4. Add clams, and cover.
5. Remove clams from heat just as they pop open and stir in chopped parsley, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Discard any clams that have not opened. –C.P.
