Unlike other reviewers, I think the length of the sheets are perfect. I'm not really sure what the issue of length is. My table is 77" long and they fit perfectly. The feel is soft and I've had no pilling. This is all I use.
Not sure how many therapists want 100" sheets. I found them way too long and sent mine back. Extra fabric gets in the way and is more to launder. I don't understand the benefit of this cut for most applications.
Big and fluffy flannel sheets. They cover and feel secure.
I'm generally not the type to write a negative review, but I'm still really annoyed by these sheets. I bought a bundle of them a few months back only to find they were way too long. 100"! Not sure what therapist likes sheets this long, but I surely don't. More to launder, longer in the drier, the extra material gets in my way for my bodywork. I sent them back and requested Massage Warehouse pick up the shipping....which they didn't. Seriously disappointed in an otherwise great looking product.
I use a body cushion when I massage, so I have to use two flat sheets. I appreciate NRG because they are one of the few that sell single sheets instead of sheet sets. The sheets are very soft and easy to manage, my only problem has been that they shrink, even when washed in cold water. The bright side is that they shrink MUCH less than other brands, I just had to throw out my non-NRG sheets because they wouldn't even cover the length of the table anymore!

Buying Guide - New and Used Cars
Used cars
There are a number of things you should check for when buying a used car. The first thing you should look at is the car history. Has it been serviced regularly? How many miles has it done and does it match up with the service history? The more miles it has done, the more the chance it has of something going wrong. How many previous owners has the used car for sale had? The more owners could indicate the used car was difficult to live with. If the pedal rubber is worn or the ignition key is damaged then it could indicate heavy usage and therefore more likely to break down.
You should check whether the used car for sale has got the same colour all around the paintwork, whether the bonnet is straight or that both sides match. If they don't then it has been in a smash or there is something wrong with the car and you shouldn't buy it. You should check the used car's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) stamped into the chassis under the driver's seat carpet, at the base of the windscreen and under the bonnet as well as in the logbook all match. If they are not the same then one area has been tampered with and you should not buy this car.
Check the value of a used car with an independent assessor to ensure you are not being overcharged by the dealer. Don't be afraid of looking to negotiate a price when buying a used car in order to obtain the best deal. Looking to add in extras like filling it up with petrol or updating the road tax and MOT could be a good haggling tool, and ensures you get the most for your money.
It is important to test drive a new or used car for sale. Insist on taking a test drive for more than 15 minutes on various types of road, so that you can test the gears, suspension, brakes and steering. Make sure you start the engine from cold and check to see if any smoke comes out from the bonnet or the exhaust pipe. Doing all this will give you a feeling for the car, not only about how it drives but how comfortable you are inside the used car. If a person with a car for sale refuses then do not buy the car as they might be trying to hide something.
New cars
There are key questions you should be asking yourself when looking at a new car for sale. Does the price include everything you want or are there extras? Don't be seduced by adverts saying the lowest price for the car. This will be for the basic model and you will have to pay more for the features you may wish to have. How much warranty does the car have? The more warranty it has, the better because if something does go wrong then there is less money spent on repairing it.
Insurance and fuel
When budgeting for a new or used car it is essential to include the price of insurance. It is illegal to drive a car that is uninsured. There's no point in buying a used car, or a new car for that matter, only to find that you cannot afford the insurance. When you enquire at your insurance provider, look at the appropriate cover for you, as well as checking the price comparison websites. This will give you an idea of what you are going to get for your money.
According to The AA young British males aged 17 to 22 can expect to pay an average of £2,750 to insure a vehicle. In most cases this would be close to, or higher, than the price of the used car itself. It is important to note that it is illegal for you to be the only named driver on someone else's insurance if it is actually your new or used car - your motor insurance will be void and you will face legal proceedings against you.
The price of unleaded petrol looks as if it is only going to get higher in the near future. A diesel car is more fuel efficient but costs more at the pump. Therefore if you use a car regularly you should consider whether the car for sale has a good fuel economy. Some used cars have poor fuel economy meaning you could be stopping off to fill up more often than you would with a new car. This is a major disadvantage of used cars but something you must consider. With any car for sale you must put the correct fuel into your tank otherwise you will be spending a fortune and wasting a lot of time fixing the damage.
The ongoing theme of this guide is you need to buy a new or used car that is within budget, taking everything into consideration. Establishing your budget will give you a good idea of the cars you can afford at the present time. You should decide what make and model suits you. Then test drive it to determine whether it is really what you want. When buying a new or used car visit a reputable dealer and try to obtain all you can. When buying a used car be aware of all the pitfalls as you are making a choice you will be living with for the next few years. Like a pet, a new or used car is not just for Christmas!

I recently attended a piano recital for a young man in my neighborhood who studies music at a local university. He has natural musical aptitude and is an awesome piano talent. During his recital he played compositions from popular yet long since deceased composers: Beethoven, Liszt, Debussy, Prokofiev. If you're not familiar with any of these names, not to worry. I only know them because my wife's … Read More

About the AMA Pro Pro Singles Championship
Also known as "the stars of tomorrow," this class is packed with prominent young talent and year after year continues to exceed expectations. The riders of the AMA Pro Pro Singles class are typically younger, but that doesn't mean they should be overlooked.
During AMA Pro Flat Track event weekends, the Pro Singles race is often decided by the narrowest margin and with as many as nine bikes crossing the finish line within fractions of a second.
The eligible bikes for competition in AMA Pro Pro Singles are the same as those that are allowed in AMA Pro GNC Expert Singles, including recent model years from manufacturers such as Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha.
New to the sport -- the class was recently initiated in 2009 -- this division was developed to provide a ladder system for younger riders to learn the ropes as they ascend the ranks to the premier AMA Pro Grand National Championship Expert division. However, the fans are catching on and realizing the supreme talent this class has to offer and the tremendous promise the young riders have in store for years to come.

Fabric Type: Spunlace
Privacy Level: Medium
Energy Efficiency (R-Value)*: 3.0
*The r-value is the window's resistance to air flow. The higher the r-value number, the more effective the window is in reducing cooling and heating costs. Cellular shades also add insulation and can increase the r-value of a window. Cellular shades trap air within the honeycomb pockets of the shade therefore, less air escapes through the glass and window frame when cellular shades are used as window treatments. Remember, the type of glass, fame and window sash can affect the r-value of the overall window.
**The Ultraviolet Protection Factor shows how well a fabric protects the solar UV rays. Levolor cellular fabrics have UPF rating to help you gauge the best solution for protecting your furnishings, floor coverings, and artwork from fading. UPF ratings range from 15 to 50, with 15-20 as good and UV blockage from 93-96%. UPF ratings of 25-35 are very good with UV blockage from 96-98%. UPF ratings of 40-50 are considered excellent and provide UV blockage from 98-99%.
Cleaning and Care: Use a brush-type vacuum attachment or feather duster for dusting. Stroke lightly over the shade. To clean with water, use a lukewarm damp sponge and lightly dab. Avoid contact with window cleaning products.
Please Note: Color lot variations may occur due to the process of color application and cellularization. For the best color match, order all shades for a room at the same time. Pattern availability and color lot match between orders cannot be assured. Any variation in color is in accordance with industry standards.
Levolor Lifetime-Limited Warrant*: Levolor® Window Fashions proudly extends a lifetime-limited warrant on the enclosed product to the original residential retail purchaser as long as the product remains in the original window.
Note: For width specification please know the following
Inside Mount: Measure from the inside surface to the inside surface. Please provide us with exact measurements as the manufacturer will make the necessary deduction of 3/8" off of the fabric.
Outside Mount: Measure the exact area you wish to cover as the manufacturer will produce your shade to your exact measurements. Be sure to take the window trim into account.

Top Down/Bottom Up: The shade can be lowered from the top and raised from the bottom. Thus, the shade can be positioned anywhere in the window. Separate controls on each side of the shade control the rails independently. The shade is measured the same way as a standard shade.
Top Down Only: The fabric lowers from the top of the shade only. The bottom rail does not operate. Measure this shade as a standard shade.
Continuous Cord Loop System: A pulley system where the cord length is always the same. A simple pull on the control cord positions the shade at the exact height desired.
Cordless System: The elimination of lift cords make the shade child and pet safe. Simply raise and lower your shade by pushing down and pulling up on the bottom rail. The spring-motor activation offers easy operation. A handle is provided with every cordless shade.
Cordless Top Down/Bottom Up: Combine Levolor's Cordless lift system with Top Down/Bottom Up engineering. This shade can be lowered from the top or raised from the bottom—you decide how much light control you want and where on the window the light control should be. The shade is measured in the same way as a standard shade and each shade is provided with a handle to raise and lower it.
Additional Special Options Not Provided on Website (Please call 1-800-548-5711 for pricing and details!)
Energy Shield: Is an added layer that helps block air and provides additional insulation. In warmer months Energy Shield eliminates air flow through the shade and blocks interior cooled air from escaping your home. In colder months, Energy Shield eliminates air flow through the shade, provides additional insulation and allows warmth and filtered ligh from the sun.

Comments about Blinds Levolor Cellular Shades Accordia 9/16" Single Cell Shades Designer Colors - 9/16" Single Cell Shades:
Great blind, great price. Wish I would have ordered a corded blind for my application, rather than cordless. Works great, but is not easy to reach the bottom of the blind in my application (over a corner tub) without having to step into the bathtub.

Great product. Very durable. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for. My greatest concern is cleaning. I'll know more once they've been up long enough to get dirty.

It was so simple to order the blinds and they installed so easily. I would order again from Steves if and when I need blinds.
I would buy more of these
By yogibear
from indiana, pa
Great product for shallow window well.
Product is very attractive, and easy to install and operate. I suspect they may be a chore to clean since they are not a hard surface...time will tell. I have very shallow window wells and needed something that will mount in a well less than 1/2" deep. These fit the bill. The product seems very durable so far. Somewhat pricey, but worth every penny. Great selection of colors available to match any decor. Samples were available for matching colors - huge plus!
Love these shades
By Margie
from Newtown, PA
I love the top down/ bottom up feature of these blinds! I am able to get clear window sunshine, while still having privacy. I was able to open the top sash of my windows allowing fresh air in while also maintaining privacy. They are as easy to install as any shade, and the cordless feature makes things look cleaner, more put together.
Great product
By Kim
from Mason, Oh
We added these blinds after new windows were installed. They will be great when we open the tops of the double-hung window. I love that there are no cords. The blinds look better and my dogs can't chew on dangling cords. The installation was pretty eas, too. The old Levelors that these repalced were almost impossible to take down and I remember that the old ones were difficult to install, so it was a nice surprise to be able to get these up in a half hour or so. The only small thing I don't like is that it is hard to get the blinds to hang evenly when I put them up or down. I have to step back and check several times to be sure they look right. It may be a case of needing practice, but I think two handles for the bottom of the shade would work better than one.
Great shades

We'll Buy More
By Bob
from Las Cruces NM
The shades are the usual high Levolor quality. We tried a decorator color (terra cotta) which is a beautiful accent for the room. We like the cordless top down-bottom up, easy to lift up or pull down. We'll order the same for our larger living room windows but with the cord to keep our fingers from accidentally soiling the shade.

By I hate drapes
from Lansing, MI
I have replaced all drapes (just a valance here and there) in my house windows with these. They have a clean look, easy to use, last long (some are 10+ years now) and I have been able to match my new purchases to my older ones for a cohesive look throughout my house.
Excellent Quality and Price
By Kathy on the Cape
from Cape Cod, Ma
I needed a extra long shade for our extra large bay window. I know Levolor cellular shades are an excellent product as I have them on smaller windows. I was worried about having a cordless shade which was so large but I have had no problem pulling it down or lifting it up. Provides much needed privacy at night. Great price too.
Excellent quality
By Happy Feet
from South Carolina
After comparison shopping for accordion shades, I found Steve's site. [...] gave us as estimate of 350$ a window (it was installed, but still was much more expensive than the [$] we spent for Levelor.) We also checked out [...]'s prices, but Steve's beat them. We got the cordless, which are really nice. They were not difficult to install and look beautiful. They were much more substantial than I thought they would be. The bottom bar is heavier than I thought it would be. They are very attractive.When they came, I didn't know if the bottom was supposed to be as big as it was. [...].
Product is good - ordering is confusing
By Remodeler

The product is well made and it is what I wanted - sort of.
I love these blinds
By cold but happy in colorado
from colorado
I just love this kind of blind and Levolor makes a high quality product with all the features I want, and Steve's made it affordable. I've gotten samples from many different brands and websites and the material varies in quality so I recommend getting samples first. This levolor line is a nice heavy fabric that is sure to last. The TDBU operation is very smooth. I just wish I had gotten the dijon color instead. Thanks Steve for the great price, I thought I was going to have to settle for a cheaper blind.
great service, easy to use

When you order from Steve's, you will receive what you ordered and very quick! We LOVE our blinds and vertical blinds that we purchased from Steve's! They are EXCELLENT!!!!!! We love what they do for the design of our room and also the privacy they offer! We are VERY satisfied and would order again (which we have)!
good stuff
By none
from Webster SD
We are using them in our TV room and love how they look and filter the light out. They are easy to operate.
Great quality, exactly as advertised!
By LG
from Chicago, IL
I have 3 tall windows in my minimalist living room. I was looking for blinds that wouldn't obstruct too much of the window or detract from the clean lines. These blinds stow nicely and hang just a few inches down from the rail so they are barely noticeable when not in use. I have the cordless top down/bottom up version, and I love the clean look of them (no cords dangling)! Also, the top down/bottom up feature is great since I'm on the second floor and it adds privacy from the street but still allows light into the room with the top down.
I will use them again!

� c* College Newl Vol. XI. No. 13 BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1925 COPENHAGEN UNIVERSITY BOASTS FAMOUS FACULTY Majo/ity of Students Live Not in Dormitories, Meeting Only at Clubs TRADIT%N OF DEMOCRACY I By Ingeborc Liisberg - (Fellow of the American-Scandinavian Foundation.) Turning from the gay and crowded street that forms the main thoroughfare of Copen- hagen, the visitor finds himself suddenly in a square of sober grey buildings, Our Lady's Church, the old Cathedral School, the Uni- versity Library, the Bishop's Palace, and the University itself�a modest structure bear- ing the stamp of a time when good taste was more abundant than money* On this very spot the University has been situated since it was founded by King Christian I in 1478, but as this old quarter of the city has suf- fered time and again from fire and bombard- ment in war, the present building dates from 1836. Only a small part of the University's work is carried on in the building in our Lady's Square. Throughout the city and even be- yond its borders, the University has its various scientific institutions^ Instructing the students is tout one side of the Univer- sity's program. The scientific research which Denmark contributes to world cuture is really the more important part, even though it may occasionally escape general observation by being concealed in the lan- guage of a small people. Of course a topic of local interest needs only expression in Danish; but Danish research seeks to a great" extent hospitality abroad in' the scientific journals �f the civilized world. Thus a knowledge of the country and university is spread and prepares the way for Danish students who go out into the world to be received by foreign scientists to whom Dan- ish research is not unknown. k i Distinguished Faculty. The University of Copenhagen has the traditional five faculties�philosophy, science and mathematics, medicine, law and theology. The Agricultural College and the Polytech- nical Institute are independent seats of learning on equal footing with the Univer- sity. The position of the University in the capital is of the greatest advantage to the medical^iaculty, its students being able to profit by the teaching of specialists who are at once practicing physicians and surgeons as well as professors in the University. Rig- shospitalet (State Hospital), with a thor- oughly modern equipment, is in its whole construction a training hospital. There are also the Finsen Light Institute and the vari- ous laboratories connected with the medical school. The training of the medical student lasts on an average eight years, including a period of 12 months' uninterrupted service at a hospital. The study of arts extends over a period of about seven years and that of theology and law of six years. Among the teachers of the philosophical faculty, TWENTY CENTURIES LOOK DOWN FROM'HEMEROSKOPEION Dr. Carpenter's Find One of Most Important in Recent Years, says Times NEED OF FEDERAL ACTION IN CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT From The New York Times. Bryn Mawr, Pa., Jan. 17.�The site of the first Greek settlement in Spain, an important trading town built by Greek mariners and merchants before 600 B. C. and lost to his- tory for the last 2000 years, has been dis- covered by Professor Rhys Carpenter, head of the department of Archaeology at Bryn Mawr College. Not c&Hy was this town-*-the name means "Lookout Post" or "Watchtower"�the cen- tre of trade but with its sister colonies, Em- porion to the � north and Mainake to the southwest, it made its influence so strongly felt that for hundreds of years af'er the Greeks had departed the people of this part of Eastern Spain showed evidences of Greek thought and culture. In an interview at Bryn Mawr College Dr. Carpenter told of the finding of the lost town. Dr. Carpenter's Story. He had never been satisfied with the gen- eral theory that, the modern town of Denia, near the Cabo de la Nao�the Cape of the Ship�was the site of Hemeroskopeion. That it was the site of the Roman town of Diani- um was obvious. Denia�Dianium. The old town has not even changed its name in the passing centuries, and then every time a cel- lar for a new house was dug there was nearly always turned up some concrete evi- dence of the Roman occupation. But never did the diggers find anything Greek. It was in the winter of 1923-24, a year ago, that Dr. Carpenter determined to lo- cate the true site of Hemeroskopeion and this is the. first public announcement of his success. He was in Spain gathering material for a book, ."The Greeks in Spain," soon to be published, and it was neccessary that the spot where this ancient and important town stood should be located if possible.

Giving a partial summary of the cur- rent arguments, Miss Sells said that: 1�A million children between ten and fifteen are employed in gainful occupa- tion Sr^� 2�Though States pass laws they are divergent and therefore give the States who have laxer-laws an economic advan- tage over the others. 3�Laws of separate States are easily evaded by sending children to and fro across State boundaries. Opposing the amendment there are, s^ie said, only the following: 1�That it is un-American in that it turns the children over to the direction of Congress. 2�That it overrides the long-standing American principle that States should make their own social laws. 3�That it would make the children con- ceited. 4�That it is socialistic. 5�That the eighteen-year-old limit which it mentions is too high. 6�That it will lead to Government in- terference in the labor contracts of adults. 7�That it makes no provision for the education and maintenance of the chil- dren.

BARNES GIVES DIRECTIONS FOR OBSERVATION OF ECLIPSE Relation Between Solar Eclipse and Religion is Tide of Talk CONTINUED ON PACE 3 "And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will, darken I up to boyish arts of hunting and exercising, the earth on a clear day" (Amos 8:9), was | One day when she is out hunting, she finds Dhan Gopal Mukerji, Indian .nationalist and author, spoke in Taylor Hall on "Ta- gore's, Gandhi's and Kipling's India," Fri- day evening; January 16, under the auspices of the Liberal Club. Mr. Mukerji began by distinguishing be- tween the "stage nation" and the "real na- tion," the objective foreground and the great "subjective background" Which really molds the destiny of a people. Since the settle- ment of the Irish question, the stage Irish- man is being replaced by the stage Indian, who is, according to Bernartt Shaw, a "com- bination of Christian Science and Rabindra- nath Tagore." In Mr. Kipling's books there were many stage Indians; but in the "Jungle Books" is real India, the folk lore of a peo- ple which by "the wizardry of genius has been transformed into a toy for all man- kind." Here also is the,Indian attitude to- ward animals, the brothers of men. The gorgeous tiger, shining amethyst in the sunlight, will not attack a man unless th'e man's fear arouses his own. At night you may sitton the floor of the jungle with the' gleaming "needle-points of the animals' eyes" about you �nd the sound of the elephants moving in a long line; and you will not be hurt as long as you are not afraid. You learn to know the stillness of the jungle, where there is no rustling of boar or tiger going through the grass or of the python, most powerful of all. Silence is more than the absence of sound; it is a great throbbing. Suddenly the night bird, flying always to- ward the moon, rushes through the jungle and the silence is shattered and "falls like water." "Chitra" Influences Nationalist From Kipling and the Jungle, Mr. Mukerji turned to Tagore, the poet who took lines of the peasants' songs and made new songs, more "explicit and more poetical" which the people sing now everywhere in India. Ta- gore is also the author of the play "Chitra," a sort of emblem of the Woman's Move-* nhent among the young women of India. "Chitra" is the story of a princess brought T CONTINUED ONI PAGE 2 VARSITY STARTS BASKETBALL PRACTICE FOR TEMPLE GAME Varsity has had several basketball prac- tices already this winter. Their first game, which takes place February 14, will be with Temple. The team is still tentative. Last year's Varsity, minus the side centre and one guard, who both graduated in 1924, has been play- ing with scrub and members of the class basketball teams. Beginning this week the Freshmen are being tried out SMOKING QUESTION DISCUSSED BY VARIOUS ASSOCIATIONS Cigarette smoking at Bryn Mawr is a question which must be solved by time, is the report from Self-Government head- quarters.---------------- ---------- Time has done something already, in permitting graduate students to smoke away from college except in public places, and in making exceptions for students when in private houses. Both these rules are comparatively recent For the rest, there can be no decisive action until all the colleges act together. A college, as an institution, must follow, not keep pace with the liberal family. The cause of smoking may be furthered by Vassar's motion, in taking a consensus of opinion and regulations in women's colleges. At present Bryn Mawr was considered the "happy" medium, not as rigid as Smith, nor as free as Barnard, where there are no restrictions. But for the present nicotine is general- ly prohibited on campus and within the twenty-five-mile limit and must continue to be so until a change is wrought by arbitration or by open war. the text of a sermon delivered in morning chapel last Saturday morning by Dr. James Barnes, professor of physics at Bryn Mawr. The solar eclipse that is to take place next Saturday morning from 7 until 11 is, accord- ing to Dr. Barnes, a very important one be- cause another easily accessible eclipse will not take place for over a hundred years. Speaking of what those girls can do who will no't be able to go into the region of total eclipse, he said that dark glasses should be obtained. At 7.58 a small black point will be seen encroaching on the sun. At 9.08 it will reach its maximum greatness. At 10.26 it will pass off. With the help of a transmission grating� which can be obtained by consulting the post-major physics students�we can see the flash spectrum at the cusps of the crescent. The dark lines of the ordinary solar spec- trum suddenly become bright. The eclipse causes a shadow 100 miles wide that moves at a speed of one mile a second. Observation upon the chromosphere, upon the hydrogen and helium prominences, and upon the unknown elements of the corona which are of great interest to astronomers and astro-physicists can only be made in the region of total eclipse.

Chitra then asks her god that she may be made beautiful for Erjuna, that she may learn to know herself. �Her wish is granted and they are married; but after a year Erjuna grows restless, long- ing to go out into the world and help other men. Chitra tells him to go, saying that if her child is a boy she will call him Erjuna. Then her husband stays with her. Tagore's play shows the contrast between our idea that we must go out and mold the future, and the Indian belief thai the past is dead, the present is dying, but the future will come in at the open door and mold men. Mr. Mukerji quoted the Indian marriage vow: "In the housemoi beauty we shall dwell, and from it we shall enter the house of Goodness; but its doors and windows are not barriers, and we shall into the house of Holiness, where Beauty is made Goodness and Goodness becomes Holiness." The play, "Chitra," was known by heart by the young women who 'are the mothers of the leaders of the Nationalist Movement today. Thus "the vision of a poet became the song of a woman�and out of it grew the great move- ment of modern India." CONTINUED ON PACK 3 '�:��� I.

And not just that the Galaxy mode is good as you have to use all characters not just your faverate ones to finnish the game, it is a liitle retitive when having to fight 2 fighters when you have no life at all (part the mission conditions). But apart from that good game all round. Good GFX.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
My grandfather loved cardoons.
They were also apparently popular here in the states in George Washington's time. There is a garden at Mount Vernon that supposedly grows the veggies that were on the plantation in that era. There are always cardoons. They serve them in the restaurant sometimes; scalloped like you might do oysters. Lots of cream and breadcrumbs on top. They were sometimes called poor mans oysters.

1) I don't know what is cardoon, but may be this is the same?? http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&a … rch+Images
tell me, plz, if it is the same (i cant translate the word 'cardoon' into my language/ I'm not sure that it is same from my link).
2) i haven't seen here anyone use Nettle for food.
In my country it is popular put into the 'Borscht'. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borscht ). It is common, really.
Also i know some people add nettle into the pesto and polenta.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
assmark: I've been enjoying your recent blog photos!
Here is a photo of the plant. I've seen cardoon plants used as ornamental plants in flower gardens in France, the leaves are showy, spikey and silver.
The stalk is eaten. It looks like a large celery stalk. I've seen recipes for it in Italian cookbooks and haven't tried it, supposedely it tastes a little like lemon and artichoke.
I love Russian borscht! If you have a recipe and the time, please share one! I had no idea nettles were used in it.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
The Flower of the Thistle/Cardoon is born spontaneously in Portugal and other Mediterranean zones as well as in the north of Africa and Argentina. June, July and August are the only months where it is in flower and therefore capable to be used for the coagulation of milk.
The cheese production becomes all during the year, therefore the cheese makers have to store the thistle that goes losing quality with passing of the time. To another option he is to buy the plant the prices very raised. Traditionally, flower to the shade is dried to it and is produced later a watery trade bill that if adds to milk.
The part of the responsible plant for the coagulation is the flower, of tubular form and purple color, that great concentration of the coagulant substance contains the enzyme cinarase. The infusion of thistle/cardoon flower, previously prepared, is launched in warm milk (35 - 40º C).
For use of the thistle a salt infusion is made (20 the 35 g/liter of milk) and the flower of the thistle/cardoon dehydrated (lilac part of the plant) in the amount that can vary in function of the force or coagulation power of the plant, on average 1 the 2,5 g for liter of milk. The temperature for addition of the infusion is of 28 - 30ºC and must be kept while the coagulation of milk occurs. One known type of cheese produced with the flower of the thistle is the cheese of the Mountain range (Portugal).

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Every few years they suddenly "remember" an old veggie:
pumpkin/sqash (when halloween became popular in the late 90s and when the hokkaido variety came on the market)
wild garlic (Bärlauch) (the market was so flooded with that....)
ruccola: now that it has a cool Italian name people eat it a lot, while the good old "Rauke" has been mostly forgotten.
This is just to give an idea of some of the retro-food crazes of the last 10 years.
Slowly but surely all kinds of root vegetables are coming back: swede was first, now parsnips, turnips, teltower rübchen, jerusalem artichokes, red beets (fresh, leaves still attached)...
(In Germany especially swede was very unpopular with the older generations, as there was the "Steckrübenwinter" of 1917 (?) when food supplies where down because of the war, and then there were similar winters in the second war, when the options were swede or "Schlodderkapps" (Kappes = slang for cabbage, schlodder = slang for something as textureless and flavorless as it sounds). Left a trauma on 2 1/2 generations....
Cabbages too: in the old times usually cooked to death (resulting in said "Schlodderkapps"). Somewhat unpopular with the yuppie generation. Now coming back with newer fresher cooking methods. (Turns out I do like cabbage a lot after all if my Mom is not the one cooking it )
celeriac. It's used in Germany for soups and stews instead of celery (which is a novelty here). As a vegetable it has been neglected.
Any varieties of very common veggies have been mostly forgotten and some are now coming back: purple potatoes, odd shaped and yellow tomatoes, greengages, all kinds of salad greens (that don't grow a big head), fresh spinach (my mom had fresh spinach for the first time in her life on her 59th birthday - only knew canned or frozen spinach till then....)
Others seem to get less and less common: apricots (increasingly difficult to get other than dry or canned), goose berries, etc.
Blackberries are more and more treated a weed - and a weed only by many people. I admit they easily become weeds, but my Granddad kept a neat hedge of them and I could die for them. Dandelion, sorrel, and stinging nettles are almost forgotten foods. - Anything that grows wild has mostly left the meal plans of the post WWII generations. Hope that more of them will be rediscovered.
Even more "forgotten" fruits and veggies are typical garden fruits that you can hardly buy, and could hardly buy ever: blackcurrants, whitecurrants, yellow cherries, mirabelle plums, ....
Luckily the organic food movements have started to bring some veggies back. Especially regional foods that big supermarkets did not stock. But even they are starting to have rosehip jam. Sea-buckthorn (?) / "Sanddorn" juice. More and more elderberry or even elderflower products - juice, cordial etc. Expecting them to sell sloe stuff soon...

I am currant}Ly trying to figure out something to make with them.. very very tart and almost has a wild sour grape taste . maybe a pie or some preserves. I was considering also adapting Eddies sour cherry cordial recipe and doing a josta cordial version as well .

Hi Jamie/Everyone,
This is my first message since I registered and I am still trying to get the hang of how this works... please bear with me.
On the matter of forgotten vegetable and fruits, there are a few here in Madeira...maybe not forgotten, but certainly strange to other parts of Europe.
We have a fruit called "pitanga" - I believe the correct translation would be suriname cherry. It grows in Brazil and here. Has an acid taste and is absolutely amazing as a dessert topping/coulis or used to make a chilled pudding. If anyone is interested in a recipe...if of course you can get the fruit, I'd be happy to oblige...
We also have another strange fruit called "araçal". I'm not even sure of the Portuguese spelling (I could not find the word in the dictionary) and can terefore not give a translation. It is larger than the "pitanga", more of a yellow colour and sweeter.
Another fruit largely eaten here around this time of year comes from a cactus and is called "tabaibos". Hard to peel without getting a prickle caught in your finger...
As for veg, here we grow and eat a lot of "pimpinela" or chu chu.
Hey, my in-laws tried to grow an "aracal" tree here in Canada, needless to say it did not do well...there are aracais (is that the plural??) in the Azores too..

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Well you might be amazed but around here the broad bean is a forgotten veg, or almost forgotten anyway. I had never eaten them and I can't recall seeing them in the supermarkets. After watching the episode on beans and especially the "Incredible Smashed Peas and Fava Beans on Toast" I had to grow some. I understand now why they have fallen from favour. I had more pest issues with them than any other plant I have ever grown BUT I did make the Peas and Beans on Toast last evening for a light meal, it was fabulous. I can't wait to try more recipes with them now. I am enjoying the flavour and I will grow them again. Now out to wash the plants again...

Susanne - it's called Sanddorn in Germany? We got "Tyrni-mehu" in Finland that's supposed to be from sea-buckthorn berries (Tyrni). It's supposed to have great medicinal qualities and the most vitamin C of any fruit or berry. We've often looked for it elsewhere, now we know what to look for in Germany- thanks! (by the way it's also the sourest juice on the planet - must be mixed with water and maybe sugar to be palatable, a fact I discovered only after drinking it straight from the bottle!

I pick and cook stinging nettles and dandelion leaves are often in our salads .I'm growing a tuber called Oca at the moment ,an ancient South American potato-like plant .And cardoons are seen in a lot of gardens here but are considered a pest because of the tremendous seed production .I've cooked the stalks and prepared the choke like artichoke but fiddlier .
What about meat ? Anyone still eating hares ?? -,bloody pest around here eating my newly planted trees . And I've got some recipes for sparrows done like quail , and a blackbird pie , and grilled larks , and a pate made of thrush and pigeon which is a cypriot recipe .

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Shannon Smithey, associate professor of political science, and Dr. Kristenne Robison, assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice, will present "The Contemporary Face of Probation" at the Faires Faculty Forum Wednesday, Nov. 7, at 11:40 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater of the McKelvey Campus Center.
Two Westminster students assisted the faculty with the research that will be covered in the presentation: Matthew Shiner, a junior sociology and criminal justice major, is a son of William and Lou Ann Shiner and a graduate of Clearfield High School. Jennifer Duvall, a senior sociology and criminal justice major, is a daughter of Frank and Jane Duvall of Atwater, Ohio, and a graduate of Waterloo High School.
According to the group, probation offices in Pennsylvania do not systematically assess the effectiveness of their programs. To gain insight into why this is, they spent last year combing through computer files and manila folders at a local county adult probation office. The data provided a portrait of who is on probation and how they are supervised, with the long-term goal being to test the common assumption that "everyone comes back."
Smithey, who has been with Westminster since 2003, earned undergraduate degrees from Southern Methodist University, and master's and Ph.D. from Ohio State University.
Robison, who has been with Westminster since 2009, earned an undergraduate degree from Baldwin-Wallace College, master's degrees from Ohio State University and Syracuse University, and Ph.D. from Syracuse University.
The Faculty Forum was established in 1990 by Dr. Barbara Faires, Westminster professor of mathematics emerita, during her term as dean of the college and vice president for academic affairs. Faculty members from all disciplines volunteer to present lectures on their current research, artistic productions, and scholarship of teaching and learning. Each forum presents new ideas with innovative lecture techniques.
Podcasts of the forums are available here.
