There are a few spices that that I tend to use a lot of - minced garlic, minced onion, salt, pepper, paprika - to name a few.

I've discovered a great source of most spices at prices significantly less that what your supermarket charges: The Spice Barn.

The Spice Barn was recommended to me when I started making my own sausage and needed spices and seasonings in larger quantities. They offer spices in containers ranging from a small table-top shaker up to about 50 pounds. - all for a lot less than you are paying at the grocery store.

I started keeping track of the spices and seasonings I use frequently, and then purchase a year's worth of each at a time.

I put my new deep fryer to use making beer-battered deep-fried catfish.

My motivation for getting a deep fryer is that I want to make donuts but I also started looking into al the other things I can make with this thing. My Sweet Lady Wife is a former Wisconsin girl who remembers those Friday night fish fries from her childhood.  So when I mentioned deep fried fish her eyes lit up and that settled it.

I'd like to use yellow perch or haddock but this is Arizona.  Finding perch or haddock here is mission impossible.  Finding catfish however is not so hard. This catfish came from Whole Foods.

Batter:

2 cups all purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon garlic paowder

1 tablespoon smoked spanish sweet paprika

1 16-oz can of Fosters Premium Lager

2 egg whites

Note: if you have self-rising flour you can substitute 2 cups of it for the first three ingredients.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and beer.  Let it set in the refrigerator for an hour. When the hour is up, beat the eggs whites until you get soft fluffy peaks, then carefully fold them into the flour-beer mixture.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the required amount of oil to the deep fryer and turn it on 375 degrees. When it hits that temperature place the fish into the hot oil. When the batter has turned a light golden brown (about 2-3 minutes) take the fish out and let it drain for a minute or two, then serve.

Very light crust and very moist fish.  It passed the Sweet Lady Wife quality test.

When my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I pointed to this deep fryer.

(Coming soon: Beer-Battered Deep fried Catfish.)

This is a Cuisinart CDF-100 deep fryer. I've been wanting on because I have this overpowering urge to make my own donuts.  But there are lots of other things I want to do with it.  For example, my wife is a former Wisconsin girl, so when I mentioned fish fry her eyes lit up.  Ever had a Scotch egg?  They are easy to make.

I picked the Cuisenart CDF-100 because it requires just a quart of oil.  I'm typically cooking for just my wife and myself so the small size is perfect.

I tried it out a few days ago and it seems to work very well, keeping in mind that fact that you are frying in small batches.  There is a filter in the lid so the house does not fill up with the smell of hot oil. It can easily be drained (There is a small indentation in one corner of the housing.  After the oil cooled, I just poured the oil out into a jar through a funnel.)

Would I buy it again?  Absolutely.  It is perfect for small batches.

My mother is 85 years old, on a fixed income, and currently does not drive.  I'm making sure that she has good tasty healthy meals for dinner.  My objective is not to provide every meal on a ongoing basis but to at least provide her with about half her dinner meals.

Today my local supermarket had some very tasty whole farm-raised salmon filets on sale.  I bought two and cut them crosswise into single-serving portions. Sauteing all that salmon took maybe an hour.

That same local supermarket carries a brand of 'fresh' pasta in the deli, 'Pasta Prima'. The list of ingredients on the package reveals no unpronounceable long words or anything I would not feed my family. (Honestly, it's hard to justify making homemade ravioli when I can get these.

And then add a little pesto.

I packaged these up in single-serving portions and vacuum-baged them using my Vacmaster. In a day or two I will deliver to her ten frozen individual high-quality healthy meals.

I call them 'Meals For Mom'.

The Results Are In!

I've been on a tear lately for Chicago Style Hot Dogs - The ones said to be 'dragged through a garden'. Hot Dog. Bun. Mustard. Relish. Onions. Tomatoes. Peppers. Celery Salt.

Most of the hot dogs sold in the supermarkets are not very authentic.  The local high-end specialty grover sells 'Chicago style dogs' but they are terrible.

I am happy to say however that I've recently discovered the Nathan's Famous brand. There flavor is excellent. And the best news is that the co-op grover 2 miles from my house carries them.

If you want to make an authentic Chicago Style Hot Dog then I recommend Nathan's Famous Natural Casing Beef Franks.

10 pounds of homemade pork breakfast sausage, ground and stuffed by yours truly and his Sweet Lady Wife. I used my new VacMaster Pro305 to vacuum bag these up in pairs for freezing.

One of the great things about making your own sausage (aside from the significant money savings) is that you can tailor the flavor to your liking.  For example, I put in less pepper than you would normally find in breakfast sausage.

The Tools

I have an LEM #8 Meat Grinder.  Among the sausage-making cognoscenti this is considered a small grinder but to me it's big.  It's overkill for this job but I have the 'Tool Time Tim' gene. I have successfully ground pork using just one of those hand-crank grinders that clamps to the counter.

I have this sausage stuffer purchased from SausageMaker.com. It is the smallest sausage stuffer they offer. My 'Tool TIme Tim' gene keeps wanting me to get one of the big ones but in reality this one is perfect.  It holds five pounds of ground pork.

When I make sausage my Sweet Lady Wife and I work together.  She turns the cranks and I feed the sausage into the casings.

Casings

I order casings from the Syracuse Casing Company. I prefer nice big fat sausage (about the size of bratwurst or Italian sausage so I get the 32/23mm North American Hog Casings, Dry Salt Pack Tubed.

Seasonings

SausageMania.com has a great spreadsheet you can download. It contains recipes for several sausage varieties and it will do the calculations for you.

One of the great things about making your own sausage is that you can adjust the seasonings to fit your own personal tastes.  Call it 'Designer Sausage'.  Here is my seasoning mix for 10 pounds of pork:

5 Tablespoons sale
6 Teaspoons Sage powder
4 Teaspoons Summer Savory
1-3/4 Teaspoons ground Nutmeg
6-3/4 Teaspoons Marjoram
2 Teaspoons ground pepper

I place all the above in a small bowl and mix well.

If you don't know about the Spice Barn you should. You can buy spices from them for a fraction of what you pay in the supermarket.

The Pork

Almost all the varieties of sausage I make is pork shoulder. I get it in the bulk pack (15-20 pounds) at COstco but I have also seen it as Safeway. One important thing about sausage: You want the pork for have a high fat content, around 25%.  Skip over the trimmed lean pork shoulder and head for the cheap fatty stuff.

I cut the pork shoulder up into hunks about 2 inches across because that feeds nicely into the grinder. Once all the pork has been ground I dump the bowl if spices in and mix thoroughly using my hands. Mix. Mix. Mix.  You don't want any pockets of spices in there.

Then I pack 5 pounds into the stuffer, my wife turns the crank, and I feed out the casings.  It's actually very easy. Some people twist the sausage into links as it's coming out of the stuffer but I find it easier to let the sausage fill the casing in one long continuous tube, then go back and twist it into links.  I make each link about 4-5 inches long, about the width of my fist. It;s pretty simple: pick the spot. PInch where you want the ends of the link to be, and then twist the link 4-5 times.

When I've made all the links I then go back and cut them apart with a pair of scissors. I bag them up in pairs and freeze them.

The Vacmaster PRO305 has arrived.  I ordered it from VancuumSealersUnlimited.com. Lisa (the owner) was super helpful.  I was looking at three different sealers, it was down to the Weston 2300 or the Vacmaster PRO 305.  Lisa helped me figure out that the Vacmaster was the best choice. I was really impressed with LIsa.  Talking with her, I got the impression she lives and breaths for vacuum sealers and is happy to give you whatever level of assistance you need.

While the Weston 2300 has a longer sealing bar (15 inches vs the VacMaster's 12 inches), this was actually a 'minus' for me. It mean that the Weston was bigger and I really didn't have a storage spot it would fit in.

The Vacmaster PRO 305 has an accessory port for use with jars. I'm particularly interested in using it for marinating prior to grilling. The Weston does not have an accessory port.

The Vacmaster has a double seal strip while the weston has just a single seal strip.

I also like the fact that it comes with a maintenance kit, consisting of gasket, sealing tape, and sealing wire. In other words, this is not only a machine that is repairable, you get the spare parts.

I sealed a variety of items just to get a feel for it compared to my old Foodsaver.  It seals faster, sucks out more air, and the seal is wider.

VacuumSealersUnlimited.com is also a great place to by the bags and rolls. I bought 100 of the Quart-sizze premium bags for $19.95.  They are better quality than the Foodsaver bags I have been buying and half the cost.

I have no connection to VacuumSealersUnlimited, but I wholeheartedly recommend them if you are looking for a vacuum sealer.  This thing is made so well it will probably be the last sealer I will ever have to buy.

My Foodsaver vacuum sealer is on it's last legs. Time to replace it before it dies completely. If you've been reading this blog for a while then you know that I am a 'tool guy'.  Here are the sealers I am currently considering:

Vacmaster VP115

The Vacmaster 115 is the one I really want.  There are two kinds of vacuum sealers:

Chamber Sealers, where you place the bag inside the machine's internal chamber.

Suction Sealers, where the bad is outside the machine. The FoodSaver and Seal-a-Meal are suction machines

Chamber sealers are better.  The pull more air out of the bag than suction sealers. They also handle soups and other liquids. Commercial vacuum sealers are chamber sealers.

The Vacmaster VP115 is a chamber sealer. It has only two problems:

It's big: 19.25 x 16.75 x 9.5 inches

It's heavy: 58 pounds

I don't want to leave it on the counter top and consume valuable counter space (And Sweet Lady Wife wouldn't allow it anyway). Which means it will need to be put away between uses. 58 pounds is just too dang heavy to be moving around.  And there is only one kitchen cabinet large enough to hold it.

Weston 2300

This is probably the best suction sealer available. It's not heavy (about 18 pounds). Dimensions:

22.5 x 12.25 x 6

Plus: It will handle bags up to 15 inches wide

Minus: No accessory port for sealing jars, marinade containers, etc

Its also kinda big. I'll have trouble finding a place to store it.

Vacmaster Pro305

This is the one I'll probably actually buy. It looks and operates just like the Weston 2300 above, except that it is smaller.  It will handle bags up to 12 inches wide. It has an accessory port for sealing jars, marinade containers, etc. And it is compact:

15 x 12 x 4 inches

Which means it will fit in the same spot that my old foodsaver currently occupies. I can't find head-to-head reviews between the Weston and the Vacmaster.  The folks over at The Smoking Pit have one, have reviewed it, and seem to like it.

One of the beauties of my smoker is that it takes almost no effort to make a great meal.

The rub is one I've used before:

2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Rub it all over the tenderloins, wrap them up in cling wrap and let them marinade in the refrigerator overnight. Take them out of the fridge about an hour before you are going to throw them in the smoker.

I used Mesquite Bisquettes in my Bradley Smoker this time, Set on about 225 degrees. When the internal temperature of the meat hits about 150F slather on the sauce of your choice.  For me, when the tenderloin hits 160F it's done. About three hours total smoking/cooking time.

I really like my Bradley smoker. It was not horribly expensive, and it has added a new dimension to the food I serve.

Bradley Smoker + Pork Shoulder = Awesome

Two years ago I bought a Bradley Smoker and have enjoyed it thoroughly. I recently decided to try to make hickory smoked pulled pork and I can't believe how awesome-tasting and easy it was.  There is also the evil pleasure of permeating the entire neighborhood with the scent of burning hickory.

The Rub

2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

The night before smoking, mix the ingredients together and rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder. Put the pork shoulder in a Ziploc back or wrap with cling wrap and refrigerate overnight.

BBQ Sauce

I confess: there is a BBQ restaurant neary named Waldos.  I have yet to be able to top their sauce.  Fortunately, they sell their sauce by the pint and quart.

Pork Shoulder

I bought a 6 pound bone-in pork shoulder at Safeway for about $15. WHen shopping for pork shoulder bypass the ones that have been well-trimmed and are vry lean.  Go for the inexpensive fatty ones. One the moring of smoking day fire up the smoker. Set the temperature control on the smoker to 220-250F, load it with hickory bisquettes. Take it the pork shoulder out of the refrigerator and let it sit on the kitchen counter for about an hour.

Put the pork shoulder in the smoker and forget about it for 8-12 hours.

Using an instant-read thermometer (I really like my Thermoworks Thermapen), you are looking for an internal temperature of about 195F.  Normally, I think of well-done pork as having a temperature of about 160-170F.  When I checked after eight hours of smoking and found it to be !95F I thought "Oh no, I've ruined it." Nope.  It was the most tender and juice thing I'd ever cooked.

Since then I've learned that 195 F is when the meat is at it's most tender and juicy. You should be able to easily wiggle the bone. If there is no bone then stick a fork into it and you should be able to rotate the fork with little resistance.

At that point, it's time to pull it out of the smoker, put it on a plate, and let it rest and cool down enough for you to pull it apart. I'm probably going to buy a pair of Bear Claws to make this job easier.

This is such an easy way to turn a cheap cut of meat into food for the gods.  I'm going to be doing this a lot more.

I've become a bit fixated on saffron since discovering paella, and am finding lots of uses for it. The problem of course is that saffron is expensive.  The last time I bought it in my local supermarket, a .06oz bottle was $22. Ouch.

Spanish Saffron

Everyone wants Spanish Saffron. It's supposed to be the best. I got news for you: Spain exports about 190,000 kilos of saffron each year.  The annual native saffron production in Spain is only 1,500 kilos.  Which means that it is highly probably that your 'Spanish' saffron came from somewhere else.  Probably Iran, since Iran produces about 90% of the world's saffron.

Afghan Saffron

For several years, there has been a campaign to move Afghan farmers from growing opium poppies to growing saffron. This program has been quite successful.  Afghan saffron is very high quality.

Via much digging, I've found a source of Afghan saffron that - while the company is in San Francisco - seems to be as close to the importer as you can get.  The bottom line is that you can get high quality saffron at prices drastically cheaper than at your local supermarket.

Where?  Vanilla, Saffon Imports

Did you know there is an ISO standard that sets standards for the quality of saffron? I didn't either.  According to ISO 3632, Category I saffron (the higheat quality) must meet certain minimum scores.  Here are the ISO minimum scores for Category 1 saffron, and the scores for the saffron I received from Vanilla Saffron Imports (The scores are printed on the container's label):

  	 ISO 3632
Minimum
Score</center>	 Vanilla,Saffron
Imports Saffron
I Received

 Color	 190	 242.03

 Flavor	 70	 83.56

 Aroma	 20-50	 36.17

 As you can see, this is high-quality saffron.

Price

Now for the best part: an ounce of saffron from VanillaSaffron Imports was $80. That makes it less than a quarter of the cost of supermarket saffron.

This is the (half-eaten) result of my second try making paella.  It still needs a few tweeks but the flavor was outstanding and I am pleased.

What I di differently:

More saffron.  I was originally advised to use a 'pinch' of saffron.  I guess my pinches were to small.  I double the amount I used last time.

More salt.  Not a lot, but a little more salt.  The rice gets almost all it's flavor from the sofrito and broth. Initially I used a no-salt chicken broth and did not add any salt.  This time I added enough salt to make the broth sufficiently flavorful that I would eat it as a soup.

Rosemary.  I added some rosemary.

Here is the result of my first attemot at making Paella.  It has chicken thighs, green beens, artichoke hearts, and red bell peppers:

I used Bomba rice and though I was made aware that I needed 3 cups of liquid for each cip of rice it still took me by surprise. I felt like I turned my back on it for 5 minutes and BAM it sucked up all that liquid.  Wow.

Improvements for next time:

A little salt. I used my own homemade chicken broth as the liquid and it's pretty salt-free.  I don't normally add salt to almost anything I make but this dish needs a little salt.  I'll add a little salt to the broth and sofrito next time.

By the time the rice was done the chicken and veggies are a little overcooked. I pre-cooked them and added them to the pan when I added the rice. I need to either not pre-cook them (except for browning the chicken), or wait until later in the process to add them.

And yes, I did achieve a socarrat ( that layer of crusty crunchy caramelized rice at the bottom of the pan) , thank you for asking.  It's surprising how much flavor is in it.

Embedded with Laird Technologies' robust server-client protocol, the LT1110 family permits an unlimited number of clients to synchronize to a single server for low latency communications. The server and all clients in a network can communicate with any radio in range via either addressed or broadcast packets. The configuration and test software allows OEMs to design and test networks to suit their applications.
The new module features a higher output power, up to 24 dBM conducted, in the same small surface mount or pluggable form factor as the original LT1110. It also includes an integrated antenna or U.FL for an external antenna. Easy-to-use with a quick time to integrate, the LT1110 provides simple wireless communications for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks.
"The new High Power LT1110 900 MHz wireless module builds on Laird Technologies' family of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum radios, including the AC4490, LT4424 and LT2510," said Chris Downey, Laird Technologies Product Manager, Telematics & Wireless M2M. "Enabling long-range wireless communications for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks, it is priced competitively or lower than that of the competition."
While the new High Power LT1110 offers greater transmit power than the previous Low Power LT1110 version, the same low power sleep modes are available, making the module an ideal product solution for the M2M market segment, particularly sensors and handheld data loggers.

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper

I close my eyes, Then I drift away
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayer, Like dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream, My dreams of you.

Dieken on 'Daily'Posted by on August 31, 2011 – 7:04 pm
By Vic Carucci, Senior Editor
The Browns' preseason comes to an end Thursday night at Chicago, and tonight's edition of "Cleveland Browns Daily, Driven by Liberty Ford" is devoted to getting you ready for the game against the Bears.
Former Browns quarterback and WKYC football analyst Bernie Kosar will check in from the team hotel in Chicago to give his thoughts where things stand with the Browns after three preseason game. He'll also discuss the loss of offensive guard Eric Steinbach to season-ending back surgery and offer an assessment of Steinbach's replacement, rookie Jason Pinkston.
We'll offer a thorough analysis of the Browns' roster, how they'll use their players against the Bears, and the decisions the team faces with Saturday's roster cut from 80 to 53.
Tom Thayer, a former Bears offensive lineman and analyst for the team's radio network, stops by to give us an update on the team that finished one game shy of the Super Bowl last January. Thayer will talk about the leadership skills of quarterback Jay Cutler and what areas of the team have stood out during training camp and the first three games of the preseason.
>>Be sure to tune in Monday through Friday, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET, for "Cleveland Browns Daily, Driven by Liberty Ford" on ESPN 850 WKNR or catch the live stream right here on ClevelandBrowns.com.

Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group expected to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February, after the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in late January approved its reorganization plan.
Mokulele Airlines
Cessna 208B, Molokai, Hawaii, Oct. 15, 2009–The Grand Caravan was substantially damaged when its tail struck the ground during passenger loading operations. The aircraft was operating under Part 135 at the time of the incident. In a report to the Safety Board, Mokulele Airlines stated that the second-in-command pilot noted a load manifest discrepancy after the five passengers were loaded.
Now that his company has joined the ranks of the major airlines with its takeover of Frontier and Midwest Airlines, an admission by Republic Airways CEO Bryan Bedford of a "jaundiced view" of the small regional jet market might not come as a surprise.
Mesa Air Group will take a controlling stake in Republic Airways subsidiary Mokulele Airlines under the terms of a deal signed yesterday that will see three Republic/Shuttle America Embraer E170s exit the Mokulele fleet next month in favor of Bombardier CRJs flown by Mesa's Hawaiian subsidiary, Go!. Under the terms of the contract, Mesa will take a 75-percent interest in the joint venture and Republic a 25-percent share.
Republic Airlines injected another $2.5 million into its partnership with Hawaii's Mokulele Airlines on May 1 and this month plans to send a fourth Embraer E170 to the islands as it stages a more serious effort to raise its profile in the market. This past March Republic demoted former Mokulele CEO Bill Boyer to head of sales and marketing and installed its own vice president for strategic alliances, Scott Durgin, as interim CEO.
Hawaii's Island Air will fly de Havilland Dash 8s between Kahului, Maui, Lihue, Kauai and Hilo as Go!Express under the terms of a tentative code-share deal it signed with Mesa Air Group in late February.
Mesa Air Group's latest code-share partner, Kona, Hawaii-based Mokulele Airlines, flew its first scheduled flight as go!Express last month with a new nine-seat Cessna Grand Caravan. On April 16 Mokulele began flying 12 times a day between Kona and Kahului, Kahului and Kapalua, and Kapalua and Honolulu for Mesa's go! unit, which continues to serve five Hawaiian destinations with Bombardier CRJ200s.
Jonathan Ornstein rarely goes more than a few weeks without making headlines in the aviation press, but the fiery CEO of Mesa Air Group outdid himself last year with the launch of his new Go! subsidiary in Hawaii.
Honolulu-based de Havilland Dash 8 operator Island Air suffered the first serious casualty of Mesa Air Group's incursion into Hawaii last month when CEO Rob Mauraucher announced he planned to furlough or lay off 65 full-time employees, remove two aircraft from service and eliminate five of the regional airline's 17 routes.
Mesa Air Group has now taken aim at a less visible target within the inter-island Hawaiian market, much to the dismay of incumbent turboprop stalwarts Island Air and Pacific Wings. By agreeing to enter a new code-share deal last month with Kona-based Mokulele Airlines, Mesa's go!

Newt Gingrich, the leading republican nominee for president, received $10 million towards his campaign from wealthy, hard-line Israel supporters. In the wake of these generous contributions, Gingrich's commentary regarding Palestine has caused a legitimate concern amongst many who are aware of the realities regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
In his opinion piece, "Palestinian state would expel Jews", Steve Huntley of the Chicago Sun-Times skews the realities of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict by ignoring international law and crucial historical events.
Communications Intern, Noor Salahuddin discusses the Republican presidential candidates' political positions.
The Sept. 21 opinion piece in the Daily Herald, "Israel's future under siege from U.N.," by Cal Thomas was inflammatory and illogical.
CAIR-Chicago Intern Noor Salahuddin discusses the humanitarian flotilla to Gaza that was prevented from delivering aid by Greek authorities at an Athens port. Noor dispels false claims made by Israeli officials in their attempts to delegitimize the humanitarian mission.
Across city campuses, effective discourse has taken place on socially relevant issues, pulling them out of the "taboo drawer" and placing them into the limelight. From gender equality to immigration, today's student approach has consistently been "let's talk about it."
And then there's Israel and Palestine.
Netanyahu's speech did not pave the way for peace, it did not put in motion any new strategies that could be implemented to promote peace, nor did it address the dire concerns of the Palestinians. His victimization of his nation—despite having the strongest regional military force—is quite disturbing.
The FBI carried out a series of raids of homes of activists, and the Justice Department subpoenaed them to appear before a grand jury. Come hear from those who have been directly affected and from the Chicago civil liberties community, which has been mobilizing to bring to light the realities of grand jury proceedings and the right to freedom of speech.
Ahmed Rehab is the Executive Director of CAIR Chicago: the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He said the President sugar-coats the US demands on Israel. "Would you please do this, pretty please do that? That's not the message the United States should have. We need to be a lot more courageous and bold and demanding of the right thing."
"I think the President realizes that this is a historic opportunity for us to shift our foreign policy towards the Arab world, towards acknowledging the fact that it is the millions in the street calling for democracy and freedom, that are the real voice of that part of the world – and not the sporadic, peripheral, marginal, militant radical groups," said Ahmed Rehab.

TA takes down Strider
The Blue Devil roster was literally all over the scoreboard in last Friday's 55-12 Homecoming win over the Strider Rams.
"Playing good AA teams North Delta and Marshall has made us a lot better," Head Coach Jimmy Hicks said. "We're improving, and I'm pleased overall."
Tunica Academy accumulated 546 total yards on offense on the night, over 400 on the ground in another spectacular showing for Blue Devil rushers.
Freeman Gray led with 15 carries for 181 yards and one touchdown, with sophomore Austin Hagstrom close behind with 10 carries for 149 yards and two TDs. Blake Perry added 58 yards on five runs.

Associated Press
The Illinois Department of Transportation work Monday June 10, 2013 to begin removing the rock road that crossed East Broadway at Williams Street in Alton, Ill. The road allowed access to the ConAgra Mill during flooding. (AP Photo/The Telegraph, John Badman)
ST. LOUIS — The rain-swollen Mississippi River on Saturday slowly receded along earthen levees and sandbags that have thus far held up, but flood watches and warnings remain for much of the river valley.
The National Weather Service said the river had crested in the St. Louis area and the Illinois towns of Grafton and Alton further north on Thursday. In southeast Missouri's Cape Girardeau and Dutchtown, the river's levels peaked on Friday.
The Mississippi River remained in the moderate flood stage on Saturday at 36.4 feet, down from the 40 feet reported on Wednesday.
(MORE: Midwest Flood Alerts)
"The forecast is not great news for the Missouri River," Fuchs said, cautioning that whether the storms produce enough rains to again raise the rivers to concerning levels "is all dependent on how much rain there is and where it falls."
"We'd be looking mostly at the potential of it keeping the river up higher and longer," extending the strain on barriers that so far have back the floodwaters with few consequential breaches, Fuchs said.
The National Weather Service continued to issue a flood watch for east central Missouri through Monday morning. The service states that additional levee failures are possible along the consolidated north county levee system of the Mississippi River, particularly from west of Portage Des Sioux to West Alton. People located in the watch area are advised to remain vigilant and prepared to act in the event of a levee failure.
Crests of the Mississippi at many points along it have widely been among the top 10 on record, although they fell well short of the heights reached during the disastrous Great Flood of 1993.

A thoughtful well-produced tribute from someone who knew the man on a personal level will always be better than any Internet-created montage.
From Malls Across America by Michael Galinsky
|Ludwig van Beethoven
From Time.com
Research shows that individuals who generate ideas on their own and then meet with a group afterward come up with more (and better) ideas.
Via Imagine: How Creativity Works:
Not only did the solo students come up with twice as many solutions as the brainstorming groups but their solutions were deemed more "feasible" and "effective" by a panel of judges. In other words, brainstorming didn't unleash the potential of the group. Instead, the technique suppressed it, making each individual less creative.
As group size goes up, creativity and effectiveness goes down.
Via Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking:
The "evidence from science suggests that business people must be insane to use brainstorming groups," writes the organizational psychologist Adrian Furnham. "If you have talented and motivated people, they should be encouraged to work alone when creativity or efficiency is the highest priority."

I have friends who support the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) as an effective non-playoff means for determining the national champion of college football. These friends say that the BCS preserves the sanctity of the college football season ("Every game is a playoff"). They say it gives power conferences (like the Southeastern Confederacy and the Big Oil Alumni conferences) their due for their consistently tough conference schedules. And they say (somewhat counter-intuitively but almost certainly true) that a playoff system favors the team that gets hot at the right time, not the team that was the best in college football over the course of the season. They don't say that the current system is perfect, but they don't view a playoff as inherently better just because the champion will be decided "on the field" after a tournament.
Of course, these friends are elitist, anti-competitive pricks who support BCS teams and use their lawyer skills to avoid punishment from bar fights they start when their teams get their asses kicked.
Me, I'm a man of the people. Okay, not really. But I am a man who stands against the ridiculous accumulation of wealth by a cherished few. The BCS is just a huge pot of money that only a few conferences and athletic directors have access to. And as long as multimillion-dollar boondoggles are being thrown around, I think everybody should have a shot at getting in on the action.
Of course, it's really hard to get rich people to give up some of their money for the greater good of a larger community. They won't do it willingly. Thankfully, this is why God invented tax law. Our brother-from-another-mother, Caleb Newquist of Going Concern, explains how a political action committee is trying to use the tax code to stop the BCS….

Each month, my wife and I schedule a "date day" away from Beacon Hill. We put aside tasks and chores that fill up our hours, and explore bookstores, see plays, take long walks weather permitting, and if not permitting, an occasional big screen extravaganza.
So, Monday, April 15, we were off to Glo's on Capitol Hill for brunch, then an iMAX showing of Jurassic Park 3D, as full of fun and flaws as the original.
Home again, I cut bamboo to put among the squash and kohlrabi starts, to keep the resident felines from digging up the plants, when Ariel joined me.
"I just read my email. Two IEDs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon."
We exchanged looks, the common small words of concern as we sorted through the immediacy of the news.
Yet, we had separate errands to run before the business day ended. Ariel drove off to Bergman's on 14th Avenue to copy a key. I left for Jackie Lum's office, over by Daniel's Broiler on Lake Washington Boulevard, to sign a form before the tax deadline. His office used to be on Beacon Hill, where we became friends, which led to our choosing him as a financial adviser. On the way, I listened to reports from Boston on National Public Radio.
I parked my Jeep next to the pedestrian trail along the shoreline of Lake Washington. It's an active path, especially on a sunny afternoon, runners and joggers out after work. For them, it was still an ordinary day.
Jackie had a customer waiting. "This is a busy time of the year," he said. I signed the paperwork, wished him well, went back outside. A woman sprinted by.
Home again, I turned on the news, hit the Internet for updates, settled on the Boston Globe. Seattle news websites posted Associated Press raw feeds and tried to spin local angles.
Bright and early, Tuesday, April 16, I brought the online world to life. The Seattle Times, the PI, the alternatives, said little more than the night before. The AP feed had changed, there were more Northwest eyewitness accounts, yet most coverage wasn't about the bombs in Boston.
It was another ordinary day, with updates to Chris Hansen and the Sonics, links to dated features, the drone of local politics. The most viewed video on the Times site wasn't the national story, it was "QB drill at UW football practice Saturday." On its featured slideshow, the PI gave equal space to the Boston attack, nostalgia ("Boeing B-29 Superfortress"), pro basketball ("NBA Kings decision"), and follow up to "Beached whale in Burien." The PI's most read story: "Ozzy Osbourne: I'm sober and not getting a divorce."
I found current, reliable coverage with the Guardian in the UK, and in Boston. The BostonGlobe.com site – a subscription service like the Seattle Times has become – had been made available to all readers. Go there.
President Obama's Tuesday press statement on the "Marathon Bombing" wasn't scheduled in Seattle's local papers. As video followed the networks, it appeared in side panels of Seattle's online press.
It's not that Seattle's editors don't want to cover a story that touches us as Americans as deeply as the 911 attacks, or the Oklahoma City bombing of April 19, 1995. The online format of local news doesn't encourage committed coverage to unfolding, historically significant events. A rolling video slideshow – the attention grabber of news and commercial sites – has four seconds max to catch your eye. Days old trivia weigh heavily on the user interface, from Sea Gals auditions to the hunt for Bigfoot, from William Shatner to Mr. Tambourine Man.
While journalists decry the state of journalism in Seattle – I've heard the comments at round tables at Crosscut's office, in conversations with colleagues at the Times and PI, and with my editors – there comes a time when we who report at any level have to face up. Web coverage is often shallow, its reporting and analysis sharing more in common with People Magazine than Joseph Pulitzer.
Seattle's news sources can do better than offer up distractions. You know where you should go if you want to see dinosaurs; we should know where to go for the news.
Now, the stir is upon us again. A suspect has been, has not been identified, has been arrested, has not been. The news may be breaking, but is it broken?

Starting next year, those who want to teach in Hamilton County schools will have to pass one more test.
Despite concerns over the $300,000 price tag, the Hamilton County Board of Education recently agreed to buy an online system that will allow administrators to screen teacher, principal and support-staff applicants for their potential effectiveness in schools.
"If this could ensure that we have not only highly qualified, but highly effective teachers in the classroom, I can assure you [$300,000] would be well worth it on the student achievement side," said Connie Atkins, Hamilton County's assistant superintendent for human resources, as she presented the item to the board.
Officials say passing the assessment won't be mandatory for new hires. But information from the program provider, Gallup, says that principals and teachers who score 67 or 68 points on the test are much more likely to be effective in the classroom.
The screening process takes about 35 minutes to complete. It includes statements with which applicants must agree or disagree on a scale of one to five, as well as multiple-choice questions about the attitudes, beliefs and practices of successful teachers and principals.
"It's just a gauge," said school spokeswoman Danielle Clark. "You look at those who scored highest first, and then go down. But just because they scored low doesn't mean they won't be effective. They just may need more time to become effective."
The programs -- TeacherInsight, PrincipalInsight and SupportInsight -- will be paid for with money that Hamilton County received from Tennessee's Race to the Top win.
School board member Linda Mosley said she was concerned that Hamilton County had been hiring teachers too late in the year recently and wondered if the Gallup systems would help.
Atkins, who said she has wanted to purchase the program for years, said it would speed up the hiring process.
"The assessment is done electronically, that's the beauty of it. It will actually enhance our screening process," she said. "We do not have the staff to screen 1,000 teacher applicants."
Brown Academy Principal Lea Ann Burk said she didn't know much about the new Web-based programs, but anything that gives her more information about a potential teacher "would be great."
School board member David Testerman, who voted against buying the system, said he didn't feel he had enough information about the Gallup programs.
"I wanted to find out if there were other programs out there, to compare cost; it would be good to shop around," he said. "I think the concept is a great idea, but the cost does concern me a little."

What ever happened to "management responsibility?" A decent "administrator" should be able to find good candidates in the interview processor, or make a very good assessment after a year on the job. I'll be any teacher who reads the questions can "guess" the right answers to that 35 minute test. $300,000 to avoid taking a stand and saying "I hired/promoted this teacher. Wow!
First, one must find a "decent" administrator. And THERE is the rub.
The School Board should start by having all current Pricipals, Admin personnel, and teachers -- in that order -- take the test...with a possible re-assessment for those scoring in the lower percentiles.

The Films of Harry Rossi
I am a cinephile and a director/writer of short films.My Letterboxd account. Go ahead, make my day.
Top 15 Favorite Films I Saw This Summer
Summer's now officially over for me (it has been this way for 3 weeks already…). This summer I not only broke last summer's record of viewing 50 films by seeing 62 films, I discovered some of my new favorite films of all time. I explored some brilliant filmmakers such as Krzysztof Kieslowski, David Cronenberg and Jim Jarmusch, and I also continued by exploration and enhanced my appreciation of other great filmmakers such as Guillermo del Toro, Richard Linklater and most importantly Lars von Trier. Lars von Trier has risen in the ranks of my favorite directors this summer becoming one of my new all time favorite filmmakers and artists.
Anyway, here are the top 15 best films I saw this summer:
15. Before Sunset (2004)
I watched both of these films as a back to back double feature and I must admit that although the first one is wonderful, it's Before Sunset that killed me emotionally. Richard Linklater's best film in my opinion and definitely one of the more sentimental experiences I had during a movie this summer.
14. Manderlay (2005)
Ah yes, Lars von Trier. Where in the world would we be without this man? One of the most controversial filmmakers of all time making some of the most disturbing movies of all time and Manderlay is no exception. An absolutely chilling discussion on the nature of slavery in America as told from a Danish man who hates America. Can't get much more disturbing than that. (By the way, expect more von Trier on this list)
13. The Exterminating Angel (1962)
This film probably has one of the greatest plots of all time. It centers around a group of upper class people having a dinner party but when the dinner ends, none of them can leave the room. They don't know why, and it appears that there is nothing physically stopping them from leaving and yet for some reason they just can't. It's a surrealist masterpiece from Luis Bunuel and is quite strange and yet also quite funny.
12. The Great Dictator (1940)
Another comedic masterpiece from the great Charlie Chaplin. This film focuses on the dictator Adenoid Hynkel and a Jewish barber, both played by Chaplin. It's his first talkie yet it's still hilarious and features some absolutely incredible physical comedy, including the famous globe dance scene. It's also a daring and bold political film made at a time before making anti-nazi films was fashionable in Hollywood. America hadn't even entered the war by the time the film was made. The film ends on perhaps one of the most powerful film speeches ever recorded and quite frankly, watching the movie is worth it for the speech alone (but the rest of the film is great too).
11. American Beauty (1999)
What hasn't already been said about this wonderful film? It not only swept the Oscars in 2000, it also quickly became one of the most popular films ever made, already a classic in many film lover's eyes. I held out a long time on this film and I now regret it. It really is as great as everyone says it is. Great performances (especially from Kevin Spacey, who's always been one of my favorite actors), witty writing and a very powerful ending. It's simply spectacular cinema.
10. Wings of Desire (1987)
Talk about a film that leaves an emotional impact. This Wim Wenders film is gorgeously shot and beautifully written. It focuses on an angel in Berlin who wants to become human after falling in love with one. The film brilliantly balances color and b&w photography and the lead performance of the film almost left me in tears. Not much else to say except that expect to leave this film with a wonderfully warm feeling of pure goodness within you.
9. In Bruges (2008)
The dark comedy to end all dark comedies. This film is bloody, violent, offensive, vulgar and fucking hilarious. Colin Farrell plays a hit man named Ray who has to hide out with his partner in the Belgian "fairytale" city of Bruges after a hit goes wrong. Within Ray's mind the boring city of Bruges is often compared to some form of purgatory. This is seriously one of the funniest films I've ever seen and what makes it truly wonderful is how smart it realizes its audience is. It never sinks to a low level of humor and actually brings up some really fascinating questions. It also features perhaps the best comeback line of all time.
8. Videodrome (1983)
Holy fucking hell… this movie's Canadian? David Cronenberg's body horror masterpiece is a truly bizarre and gross film about violence and media. It features some truly disgusting yet spectacularly conceived practical effects as well as perhaps one of the most insightful looks into the dark relationship between how the media influences violence and vice versa. A very grotesque, smart horror film. Long live the new flesh.
7. Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927)
If a list was made of the top most beautifully shot b&w films of all time, Sunrise would be in the top 3, if not number 1. F.W. Murnau's masterpiece is a true testament to the absolute power of silent cinema. It's a rather simple story dealing with very complex ideas. It's gorgeous to look at and it's an emotional roller coaster. Pure beauty and pure cinema.
6. The Three Colors Trilogy (1993-1994)
I had to include all three as number 6 because it was too damn hard to choose just one for this list. All three of these films are brilliantly conceived, acted, written, and magnificently shot. They are all masterpieces, despite what people say about White. When one finishes watching the complete trilogy one almost feels as some deep secret to life has been explained to them. They are deeply intellectual, deeply emotional, deeply philosophical, and deeply poetic. Thats the power of Krzysztof Kieslowski. He can balance so many elements to a film without ever coming off as pretentious. Watch all three. It helps to watch them in a row, but isn't necessary.
5. Melancholia (2011)
I was fortunate enough to catch a screening of Lars von Trier's latest masterpiece Melancholia (a film that doesn't come out in the USA until November) in a small theater in the valley. The valley is a horrible place and the actual experience of the seeing this film was awful. However, the film itself, despite everything thrown at me from the valley to ruin, was absolutely breathtaking. Its a story about the upcoming end of the world that focuses on the relationship between two sisters and one of the sister's husband. The film felt very personal and von Trier claims much Kristen Dunst's dialogue is based off his personal feelings on the world (right there you can tell this is gonna be dark with lines like "mankind is evil"). When this film comes out I suggest everyone go and see it, but don't expect a happy film. It's pretty much the antithesis of anything even resembling a happy film.
4. Dead Man (1995)
It's kind of like the ultimate post-modern western… in a way. Its also extremely minimalist. Whatever it actually is, it's simply ingenious. There is almost no real plot and yet I felt totally mesmerized the entire time while watching it.. I didn't even realize it. When it was over I didn't even really know what to think of it, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. You know a film's damn powerful when it won't leave you no matter what you do. The performances are all great (Robert Mitchum's final role is in this film) and the cinematography, based off the work of Ansel Adams is mind-boggilingly beautiful. I'm still not quite sure what it all means, but I know I had a religious experience while watching it.
3. The Decalogue (1989)
This was the most committed I've ever been to watching one complete movie. You have to be when the film is 10 hours long. It took me one week to finish. It's divided into 10 one hour segments, each one based off one of the ten commandments, but set in modern times. The main characters of each segment all live in the same apartment building in Warsaw Poland. This is where cinema reaches beyond the limitations of filmmaking and into the realm of high art. It's beyond masterful and proof that the early death of Krzysztof Kieslowski was a tremendous tragedy to the world and to cinema.
2. The Double Life of Veronique (1991)
Once again, a film by Krzysztof Kieslowski. See that still above this writing? That's what the film actually looks like. Thats how beautiful it is. I cried one minute into the film just because of how beautiful it looked. That's all that needs to be said.
1. Antichrist (2009)
And we return to the controversial genius that is Lars von Trier. Antichrist is without a doubt the single most disturbing film I've ever seen in my entire life. Not just for its graphic violence which has become so infamous in the film world, but also for the implications of the ideas it brings up. It's a film that so powerfully talks about misogyny, many mistake the film to be misogynistic itself, a great fallacy among the film community. And no film has so polarized audiences at Cannes since its initial premiere where 4 audience members fainted from the brutality of its ending. But it doesn't just deal with misogyny and the relationships between men and women, the entire story is also a brilliantly conceived perversity on the story of Adam and Eve from the book of genesis, which gives the film a bizarre religious edge that is absolutely fascinating. The film is also remarkably thrilling considering there are only two speaking actors, both brilliant performances by Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Its disgusting (yet intelligent) content mixed with the absolute beauty of its cinematography almost makes the film a paradox. Its consistently beautiful and disgusting at the exact same time. It's very rare for me to be consistently thinking about one single film for 4 straight weeks after my initial viewing. I think that demonstrates the true power of this monumental work of art.

Our Lady's Academy in Waltham is an excellent school. The principal, teachers, staff, and parents are the reason why the children succeed and advance in every aspect. The school is warm and inviting. The atmosphere is fun and the kids enjoy learning. I would recommend Our Lady's Academy to anyone.
We live in Waltham and have intensely researched (and debated) the best place and option for our two kids. We wanted a school that embodied a culture of transparency, moral and ethics, and a high bar of academic excellence. Our Lady's Academy is fantastic! The faculty and administration is open, transparent, and deeply involved in each child's growth and education. The parent community is also very involved. A wonderful community overall. Updated computer and science lab with SmartBoards in EVERY classroom.
We transferred our child from public school to Our Lady's Academy several years back,by far it was the best decision we made for our child's future. The teachers are committed and always available to the students, as well as our principal Mrs.Minor and our administrative assistant Mrs. Gotgart. If you are looking to better your son/daughters future ....look no further.
Great School!!! I am a parent of 3 current students all of which are happy and thriving. The Principal, Mrs. Minor, has done wonders for the school in regards to teacher training, equipment, and enrollment. The teachers are excellent and very dedicated to the students.
We transferred 2 of our children there from Arlington Public Schools. I has been great for our children. The academics and social envrioment are everygthing we would want. We are not catholic and have found that part of the enviroment to be a real plus for our kids. Would strongly recommend for anyone looking for a school that focuses on Academic development with a strong social ethic.
Great School - Pre-K-8. Spanish is taught in all grades. Close 'family like' atmosphere. On-site after school program. WeatherBug Meteorology Program. Up-to-date curriculum.
