Jul 10, 2011In my fun factor, Resistance is like a rival for Gears of War, i had fun but not blown away. The story is nice, the arsenal weapons are in a large scale. Strong title for the PS3 and also the Halo for the PS3, i;m happy that Sony created a good rival.
Jan 26, 2012This game is definitely one of the best fps games I've ever played. Right up there with Halo,Bioshock,Doom, and Medal of honor witch are my favorite fps franchises. Resistance has a huge place in history. Despite graphics not at its best. It was a great game.
Sep 27, 2010the first game i got for my PS3 was this game. its a very fun FPS game thats fairly long compared to most about 10-12 hours. the gun selection is insane you get around 18 guns and 5 differnt granade types some like the backlash grenade are just sick idea's and are cool to use. i like the fact you are not limeted to just a few guns which has become the current trend in alot of FPS games . i love carrying a arsenal into battle with me . the story is fairly intresting but will leave you with some question marks . the graphics are ok they are not mind blowing but this is a PS3 launch game. the enimy AI is pretty smart they will ducj and dive for cover or out of the way of your grenades . yjeu will try and suppress you and rush or come at you guns a blazing . the best way you can describe this game is it takes all the cool things done in fps games and hybrids them into one game. that being said its also one of the flaws the game is alot of fun but theres nothing really that seperates it from any thing els . the online also did nothing for me i played it for a few jours and felt no reason to do it again . the story mode was alot of fun though played through it a few times and enjoyed it.… Expand
Oct 19, 2010Fantastic game. The single player creates a great story that gives you the sense you are fighting a war you cannot win. However, the game really earns this score due to it's expansive multiplayer. Very balanced gameplay with a large variety of great maps and fun weapons make the online a great experience.
Jan 27, 2012Even though this game is six years old it still manages to hold it's own against other newer shooters, and that's saying a lot, the graphics do show age but the sound design is still fantastic, and the controls are tight and feel great, you can still find matches online but honestly I didn't find the multiplayer all that enjoyable but hey at least it's still got it, and the fact that people still play it says something about how popular of a game this is, the best part of the game and the reason you should buy this is for the phenomenal campaign, while the story or characters aren't all that interesting or great, the set pieces are, and it reminds me of older shooters like Doom 3 in the way it manages to be a challenge without ever really feeling overly difficult, maybe a little frustrating in one or two parts but it never felt like the game was trying to work against me, and it helps that they give you one of the best FPS arsenals of all time, and checkpoints are generally very forgiving, especially seeing as how you get full health after you respawn at a checkpoint, and it includes two player local co-op, and new weapons are unlocked after you beat the campaign so that adds reason to play through it twice just to try out the new toys, honestly if your a fan of good challenging shooters then this is a must buy, I highly recommend.… Expand
Apr 12, 2011I played this game for the first time in 2011 and i find it still to be one of the best games on the ps3. Users who play this after the likes of Black Ops will surely whinge about how it can't compare, but in all honesty this game is brilliant. One of the best campaign's ever, cannot wait to play resistance 2 and then 3!
Nov 1, 2011Game is pretty darn good. One of the exclusives that PS3 fanboys got to get. What else can I say about this game? A lot. Like what? Well, to make an essay short. This game offers the creeps and the humor. It doesn't care whether the jokes or scare factors are uncalled for, it'll give you the run of your life. Look back on it, say you enjoyed it and move on to the next level. Amazing. You cannot give this game a shrug because you will regret it. The multiplayer is a blast! I repeat, a blast! Since its on the PS3's online network, which consists of a much more mature and grown-up audience, not to mention most Resistance players derive from Europe, there are no trollers. And we all hate trolls, whether you are a troll yourself or not. The campaign and multiplayer is a dual combo that will leave you playing this game for weeks. Maybe months. Maybe years, well that is until its sequel comes out. Until then, this game is the game to play!… Expand
May 31, 20128.5 - Resistance is a fine FPS with a wonderful sense of scope. Playing for the first time almost 6 years after it's release, I finally understand the excitement revolving around the game. Great voice acting, fair character animations, and an intriguing (if unexplored) world and fiction. A fairly strong sense of pacing keeps this game from getting too dull, as some parts remind of the great Half Life 2. The incredible, versatile, and creative arsenal that you have at your disposal is a blast to play around with. Resistance truly gives the player tools of destruction to blast quickly through hoards of enemies, making each encounter blisteringly fast paced instead of a dull and boring. The most commendable feature of Resistance is the art direction. Aside from the surprisingly sharp graphics (that trump some games of today), the looming Chimeran structures in the distance and the incredible amounts of detail gone into the creatures and world itself is truly astounding. Browns, greys, and blacks fill the color pallet, but I only feel that this is frowned upon due to playing so many other "brown FPS" games in recent years. Insomniac has some brilliantly creative minds. There are times when Resistance begins to tear at the seams, and difficulty spikes near the end prove frustrating and cheap, but Resistance: Fall of Man is a highly polished and exciting FPS that delivers all the intensity, intrigue, and chaos of a top tier FPS. And it's so cheap now, it's almost a crime not to give it a try!… Expand
Oct 18, 2014Gritty, disturbing sci-fi retro themed FPS shooter with an interesting IP and some decent local co-op campaign gameplay. One of the best exclusive series on the PS3 on par with Killzone.
Mar 25, 201310-Presentation; The plot, setting, and characters are a success.
10-Graphics; The art style may lack variety, but everything is so well done.
8.5-Sound; Music is hit or miss, but the voice acting and sound effects are excellent.
10-Game play; The levels, controls, mechanics, and AI are excellent.

Feb 10, 2013Short version: one of the greatest games of all time!
Long version:
The alternate-history storyline was really good and imaginative, and the color palette really made me feel like I was in WW2-era Europe. The weapons were a great mix of realistic and over-the-top sci-fi, and great fun to shoot. The enemy designs were awesome, and the level design was greatly varied to keep things interesting: some were very battle-action-oriented, and others were more creepy and tense. Then the developers made a great game into a super-awesome game by including unlimited weapons, vehicle segments, health packs, split-screen co-op (rare these days), and 4-way split-screen multiplayer (ultra-rare). And the soundtrack is excellent and fits the game perfectly with its militaristic sci-fi vibe! This is the game that got me back into FPS gaming.… Expand
Jun 9, 2013As no surprise developer Insomniac games crafted a flawless shooter incorporating an immersive world, tight and satisfying gunplay, exceptional writing, top notch voice acting, and enough creative weaponry to make Charlton Heston jealous. However, what does come as a surprise is that this game does not include Ratchet or a lovable robot sidekick named Clank nor does it support a lavishly comedic and cartoony overworld. This game is Resistance Fall of Man and it kicks serious human/alien hybrid butt! Hats off to Insomniac for having the versatility and skill to step outside their comfort zone of colorful characters and sarcastic one liners set in an E rated third person world to go with something a little more dark, a little more adult. In terms of setting and characters Resistance is the antithesis of Ratchet and Clank, it is a gloomy albeit spectacular setting splashed with a fittingly washed out color pallet of grey and greyer. The world is beautifully ugly with its war torn colorless version of alternate history WWII England. The art direction while mired by some wonderfully depicts the bleak desperateness of war with crumbling buildings, dilapidated 1940's cars lining the streets, and vicious alien hybrids snarling about. Yes, a wonderfully rendered and possibly the best alternate history WWII setting ever created. With a frighteningly scary and ferocious antagonist dubbed (the Chimera) an alien/human hybrid originating from a virus within the walls of a fictional Russia finally breaking out after a ten year incubation period and deadset on devouring europe. These fierce enemies are daunting and numerous while physically imposing they stand seven feet tall with claws and razor sharp teeth, all this with the adeptness to accurately shoot superior weaponry, organize, and sometimes even out think their opponents. The Chimera shine as an all time foe with advanced AI and a varied attack from flanking to simply rushing the opponent with the ferocity of an angry, drunken ex husband. These killing machines come in many different sub species each designed to excel in different areas offering a multitude of ways to kill you. You are the protagonist American soldier and soon to be legend Nathan Hale and you are a badass. Hale is a great character though a little stiff and lacking emotion those are likely traits one would need to survive in that hell. Early into the game a great plot twist arises as you become the sole survivor. Hale is supported in battle by a bastion of nondescript british soldiers who ultimately become human target practice. In contrast his allies shine in a feisty british army captain who teams with Hale in many of the games missions but the real star is Rachel Parker. As british intelligence Rachel Parker narrates the entirety of the game as if she is telling a vaunted story. With a beautifully accented voice and convincing dialogue she also appears in many cutscenes and steals the show.The single player is paced well and comes in at a respectable ten plus hours with few huge boss fights but many mini boss fights. The combat is fast and aggressive and starkly different from Gears of War style fps's with much of the games cover at least semi destructable, and dont take cover behind cars for too long as they will eventually blow up. Surely Insomniac has influenced a generation of developers with the amazing weapon creativity and pure funness they are to weild with new deadlier and weirder guns which can only be found in multiple play throughs As well the game boasts a Ratchet e Clank type skill point system where you are rewarded for completing a variety of objectives from killing enemies with a certain gun to finding all 37 intel items to turning foes into meat cubes.It also includes a 12 gun weapon wheel letting you carry a small armory with you which is needless to say awsome considering just how cool these weapons are, and you will need them all as they are all unique.This game is not a typical WWII fps or a sterile Halo game, it has realism and truly interesting subject matter unlike the steriod infused fun but rather ungripping tale that is Gears of War. It is more interesting than Call of Duty and has a MUCH better gun arsenal than any of them. Besides one gun in Gears of War all other AAA FPS guns pale in comparison to most of the Resistance guns. If you claim to be a ps3 fan it should have been a day1 buy. The multiplayer is solid and lag free and supports great perks as well as on or offline coop. 9.75/10 for originality and interesting subject matter, great innovative guns, satisfying art direction, great voice acting, tight gun play, fun skill point system, replayability, and well conceived multiplayer. This game is timeless and will hold up in any generation congrats to Insomniac for flipping the script on us and crafting a great new IP and creating a new fascinating world of fiction.… Expand
Sep 29, 2013"Resistance: Fall of Man" es un first person shooter de ciencia ficción inteligente que, en un minuto de juego sabe hacerte entender que, en realidad es uno de los títulos de PlayStation 2 más jugado en mucho tiempo desde 2006 que traspasó las ventas. Yo me encuentro entre esas personas; "Resistance: Fall of Man" es un juego vicioso para los que les gusten los videojuegos de disparos en primera persona tipo "Killzone".… Expand
May 30, 2014If you want to play an original and traditional first person shooter though have a less outdated feel whilst playing, then Resistance: Fall of Man is for you. This game is hard...really hard, and enjoys to keep the action short and sweet, but with a huge bang. Resistance is a long game for its genre, and is full of collectibles and achievements which obtain skill points to unlock goodies such as concept art. While the M.P. may be gone forever, the offline M.P. and offline cooperative mode for campaign are both worth a purchase. Resistance: Fall of Man is one of the best first-person shooters of all time.… Expand
From start to finish, Fall of Man is one hell of an outstanding roller coaster ride that every last PS3 owner needs for day one...Above all else, it's the multiplayer elements that truly ascend this one to the next level. It's a must have for sure.
When you kill an enemy it doesn't disappear and when you blow up part of the near fully destructible environments the pieces don't go away either. The obvious power of the PS3 and the masterful coding work of the developers let everything stay on screen all the time while never taking a frame hit. This is an incredible accomplishment for a launch game on any system. [JPN Import]
Resistance falls a little short of being the hoped-for "Halo-killer," but with a package that would be considered complete by any standards, it delivers a launch classic, and it lives up to its billing as the PS3's killer app.

AcademicsParticipants study four disciplines: literature, art history, moral philosophy, and history. Students explore works of fiction, poetry, drama, painting, sculpture, architecture, and philosophy, while learning also about history. The course also offers instruction in writing and critical thinking, while the seminar style of the classes and dialectical investigation encourage an appreciation for reasoned dialogue in the Socratic method.
Classes meet two evenings a week, Mondays and Thursdays, from 6-8:30pm over an eight-month period for a total of 110 hours at the Mary Mitchell Center, located in the Crotona section of the Bronx, our community partner helping to bring the course into the community.
CostFinancial barriers to higher education are removed. The Clemente Course provides books, transportation, and childcare, and it charges no tuition. Fordham University grants a certificate of achievement to any student completing the Clemente Course, and three college credits to those who have performed at a high academic level. These credits are transferable to any college the student may subsequently choose to attend.
OriginsAuthor Earl Shorris piloted the Clemente Course in the Humanities at the Roberto Clemente Family Guidance Center on East 13th Street in Manhattan, New York City, in 1995.

At the venue, the members of the Properties and Risers committees help to set up the stage at a breakneck pace.
After everything is all set up, Voiceovers takes the stage to warm up and check the sound on the condenser microphone.
Meanwhile in the back, Sound Tech Kaitlyn Tappenden helps to prep the sound levels for the show.

Love these boots!
I ride a BMW 650st and these boots are perfect; the toe fits under the shifter with ease, the look is great, there was no break in period (no blisters), and the wedge gives that little bit of lift I needed to have my feet firmly planted to the ground.

Responding to an uproar from angry residents, on Tuesday, Oct. 29, Manhasset Lakeville Water District officers voted unanimously to pass a resolution sponsored by Chairman Donald O'Brien to remove the radio tower constructed two weeks ago next to the water tower in Munsey Park. The radio tower, intended to improve communication among police and first responders, will come down sometime in November or December.
Manhasset residents gathered at the Water District offices at 170 East Shore Rd. to protest the erection of the radio tower, which happened over the Columbus Day weekend when some nearby homeowners were out of town. Residents hearing trees being cut down thought the work was related to clean-up after Superstorm Sandy.
The radio tower was not fully operational when residents of nearby Munsey Park and Flower Hill with homes near the site realized it had been put up — without any notification of the community. Irate homeowners leapt into action, vocally expressing their vigorous opposition, both to the water board as well as local mayors and other elected officials, including Councilwoman Dina De Giorgio, Senator Jack Martins and Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel.
Under pressure, officials devised a less obtrusive alternative that will enable improved radio communications. The water district stated the water tower had been scheduled to be replaced in a few years. It will now be replaced sooner and the new antenna will be placed atop the new water tower.

BOOST, short for Building on Opportunities for Streamlined Technology, is F&M's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Project that launched in January 2012 to upgrade software systems managing student and academic information, human resources, finances and admission.
To understand this new system and functionality, employees will need training.
Training is available both as in-person training sessions and as online video tutorials, and currently available for the following areas:
This section provides information and answers to frequently asked questions about the the web portal interface to the ERP system.
This section provides training and documentation for employees with purchase order access and employees with budget view access.
This section provides information and training for all employees who currently complete timesheets, and anyone who currently signs or approves a timesheet for any employee including student workers.
This section provides information and training for all students, faculty, and advisors on the new degree audit and advising tool and the class registration process. It also includes a Registration Handbook for advisers, and a Course Functions Handbook for faculty.
This section provides training and documentation for all employees who currently use the Cognos Reporting Tool.
Ellucian/Sungard, the software vendor for the ERP, provides an extensive set of documentation called the Ellucian/Sungard Bookshelf. Most members of the College community will not need to refer to this documentation; the training resources listed above should provide sufficient information to use the new ERP.

The pilot of the amateur-built airplane stated that he was having problems with "dirt dabbers" getting into the fuel vent on his airplane, and he installed a black rubber cap on the fuel vent. The pilot conducted a preflight inspection prior to the accident flight; however, he failed to remove the cap. He departed and was in cruise flight at 2,000 feet mean sea level, paralleling an interstate highway when the engine lost power. The pilot further stated that he immediately knew what happened. "The engine had quit because the air could not enter the fuel tank due to the blocked fuel vent line, which caused the loss of engine power due to fuel starvation." Examination of the airplane revealed the fuel vent was blocked with a black cap. No other anomalies were noted with the airframe, flight controls, fuel system, engine assembly, or associated components.

Bedtime Stories
Bedtime Stories
|Adam Shankman
|Adam Sandler, Keri Russell, Guy Pearce, Russell Brand, Teresa Palmer, Courtney Cox
|Release Date:
|Comedy, Family, Fantasy
Disney's latest live-action feature is a typically wide-eyed, PG-rated family flick about magic and imagination. But it's also an Adam Sandler vehicle, and while his silly voices and lowbrow humor have always had a certain childlike appeal, he appears to chafe against the limitations of a project that allows for neither his cruder gags nor the occasional screaming rage. Try as he might to comfort himself with cameos by longtime cronies such as Rob Schneider and Allen Covert, Sandler looks so out of his element that his character, a faux-hawked fix-it man named Skeeter, comes off less a slacker than just plain sleepy. Still, Bedtime Stories manages to charm with its inventive fantasy premise, as the stories Skeeter tells his niece and nephew begin mysteriously coming true, and it's to the movie's credit that it expends no energy trying to explain or justify the fantasy device. At its best, not even cheap CGI or the most contrived speech impediment in child actor history can stall Bedtime Stories, and Brit comic Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), though also accustomed to working blue, easily outshines Sandler in a small supporting role.

Kale Preparation
Any suggestions on how to cook this stuff? I love it, but every time I prepare it (saute), it comes out so darn tough. I'm sure boiling it would be the easiest method, but a lot of nutrients are lost when it is boiled, which is why I always saute it. The last time I prepared it, I must have let it go for 20 minutes. I stopped the cooking process because it began to look unappetizing (deep, deep green, almost black) and it was still tough! Any suggestions besides eating collard greens or spinach instead? :D
re: ROCKLES
I'm with rockles on this. Garlic is great if you braise it--chicken stock and/or bacon is great for flavor. Sauteing it with no liquid just won't work if you want it tender. (You can also separate the leaves from the stems for a different dish.)
re: ROCKLES
As far as prep goes, I just cut the leaves from the stem then do a course chop. I saute them down with garlic and oil, just as I do with spinach.
kale chips?
Honestly, I think the toothsomeness is part of the allure of kale, but I understand it's not for everyone. It might be the variety--IME the lactinato (dinosaur) kale is toughest. Some of the less wrinkly varieties seem less so. Collard greens are typically tougher yet and want to be braised, so I wouldn't go there.
Along with spinach, chard is a good dark green leafy that's much more tender and perhaps more to your liking.
As far as altering your kale cooking, I would suggest going with a smaller chop or shred vs. larger. Don't be afraid to go all the way to chiffonade and see if that suits you better. I've seen recipes for raw salads of kale that way. Never tried that, but it's a quick saute friendly prep, too. You could also try blanching it first. The trade off between tender and bright green is always going to be an issue.
re: splatgirl
Could you blanch it then ice to retain the color? Then continue the cooking process?
re: ROCKLES
that is what I was thinking, yes. Blanch and then introduce to a super hot skillet and some fat...
re: splatgirl
It might be the variety--IME the lactinato (dinosaur) kale is toughest.
really? i think the curly kale varieties are much tougher.
re: Isolda
A soup was my thought too. It is actually the only way I've cooked kale (it's not my favorite, plus I favor the quick sauté or blanch/saute for my greens). I did a nice spicy tomato based soup with zucchini, lentils, barley, carrots, and kale. I cut it into wide ribbons and let it cook for the last hour of the soup. It came out quite delicious, which was great for me, because I just bought it on a whim.
Highly reccommend blanching it in boiling water first. You might lose a bit of nutritional value, but it will taste better and you will eat it - worth it IMO. I haven't had "al dente" kale that I enjoyed very much, either. Now, what I really need to try soon is the crispy cooked kale in the oven that I've seen recently on a Jacques Pepin show.
re: magiesmom
Another really nice dressing is just lemon juice and a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper
re: magiesmom
The two most popular ways I prepare kale are 1: kale "pesto." Stem it, then parboil it 6 minutes, shock it with cold water. Press/squeeze dry. Process with fresh garlic, salt, and enough olive oil to get to a spreadable consistency. Spread on buttered toast rounds or table water biscuits. Non-kale people LOVE this. Or 2: stem it, steam it for about 6 minutes, toss with a vinaigrette of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, fresh lemon juice. Again, a winner for the non-kale crowd.
I don't know how many nutrients are lost with boiling, but I loved it boiled for a few minutes then simmered until tender with pork hocks-based stock added to the water from boiling, along with garlic, onion, and chili peppers. Finally, a bit of sugar to cut down on the bitterness and a touch of cider or wine vinegar for a little tang.
Just sup on that pot liquor along with the greens to maximize the nutritional punch. Mmm
re: ipsedixit
I have not cooked kale, but I frequently braise collard greens in chicken broth if I have any (otherwise, water) with garlic, pepper, soy sauce, etc. Whatever sounds good at the moment. I cut them in strips.
Yes kale is super nutritious but it is tough. So unless you are going to braise it in a bit of liquid that you will be serving it in, save the Kale for soup if you are concerned about loosing nutrients in the cooking water. You can always save your cooking water to use for soup. Have you tried beet greens? While not bitter, they are tender and super delicious. I just saute onions in butter and olive oil 'til almost caramelized and then throw a bunch of chopped garlic in for about 30 seconds before throwing in the greens and putting on the lid to wilt. You can add things like black bean paste, a bit of soy sauce, etc. but they don't need much else besides salt and pepper.
A quick massage is the answer to tough kale:
Raw Kale Salad with Oranges
1 bunch kale
1 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
1 orange, peeled and sliced
. Chop the kale into thin ribbons (almost like a chiffonade)
. Drizzle the kale with olive oil and sprinkle with salt
. Massage the kale with your hands to soften it, then allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes
. Add the lime juice, vinegar, onion and orange
. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes
. Serve
- my favorite surprisingly great Kale♥ preparation:
1 head kale, shredded
1 avocado chopped
juice of one lemon
1 c tomato diced
salt to taste
In mixing bowl sprinkle the lemon juice over the kale and then add the avocado. Using your hands, thoroughly massage the avocado into the kale until it "relaxes".
Taste and add salt. Mix in the diced tomato.
re: Fromageball
Another vote for massaged kale. My favourite dressing is heavy on fresh lemon juice with some salt and garlic and a smidge of olive oil. It really doesn't need anything more (I prefer this to an avocado dressing). I recently made a fabulous salad with massaged kale with a lemon vinaigrette, pomegranate arils and garlic-roasted butternut squash. It was a hit over the holidays.
re: blinknoodle
That sounds totally delish, blink!!! Thank you! I have a butternut squash that I bought today at FM...must try this out!
re: blinknoodle
I tried a kale salad with raw kale strips massaged with a thick dressing of grated pecarino,olive oil,lemon juice,sat, pepper and pepper flakes and just before serving mix in some toasted panko bread crumbs.
re: racer x
I haven't tried to make this recipe with smooth kale, just curly kale.
re: Chris VR
Thanks for replying. I just made Cynsa's salad with curly kale, avocado, and lemon juice. Didn't have tomato juice, so I used some seeded roma tomatoes. Added some raw garlic.
Between the lemon juice and the tomato, it was a little too sharp, so I added some sweetener.
Now that was pretty good. I'll add it to my greens rotation.
re: racer x
Good for you racer...one of the best things you can do for yourself, adding kale to your diet...it is SO awesome and relatively inexpensive!
Sauteed with olive oil, a ton of garlic, white wine, and a splash of red wine vinegar.
I find that cutting it up into smaller pieces helps it cook faster. No need to boil or "braise."
My favorite kale preparation is "crispy kale". Cut into thin strips, toss with olive oil and salt. Spread onto a cookie sheet, then roast at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes until it is crisp but not yet brown. I could easily down an entire bunch of kale that way. It probably has less nutrients than eating raw kale, but I see it more as a french fry alternative than salad replacement.
re: soupkitten
Yummy, similar to my favorite kale salad @ Whole Foods. Just add julienne nori strips or furikake.
Wonderful in Portuguese linguica and kale soup or with any other sausage you like in soup. I've used spicy Italian and Aidell's chicken, cheese and habanero and it's been hard to keep in the fridge--family nukes it for a snack all day. Chicken stock from can and WELL-WASHED kale, cut in strips off of tough leaf ribs. Onion, garlic, potatoes, other veggies as you wish.
With pre-cooked sausages, it's a quick, hearty, tasty meal.
re: rccola
Caldo Verde, SO GOOD & hearty cold weather food.
Good with linguisa as well.
Try simply buying young kale. :-)
Chopped up (often sort of a coarse chiffonade), simmered in quick soups, but FAR LESS THAN 20 min. The slight resistance remaining in the veggie is desired. Or, the stems removed first, then chopped, then simmered in soup for even less time.
Leaflets/lobes plucked off the stem into bite-sized pieces, steamed, drizzled with sauce of one's choice - e.g. oyster sauce, ponzu sauce, light soy + chili sauce; plus ground pepper; etc. Ditto with plucked leaflets blanched in OILED water, *definitely* less than 20 min, more like no more than 5-6 minutes at most.
Whole baby kale leaves (typically 3-4 inches in total length) are especially nice done this way.
NOTE: leaving kale around esp. in hot/warm water, darkens the leafy material progressively then turns them dark greyish-green, undesirable.
Finely chopped/"sort-of" chiffonaded kale in stir-fries with various stuff, usually w/ sliced meat of one's choice, with all sorts of sauces and condiments. Try it with sambal belacan.
I dislike kale in long-simmered stews, braises, that sort of thing.
I like to chop it, and then dress it with a dressing made of two parts olive oil, one part Bragg liquid amino and enough nutritional yeast to make it creamy. For some reason the dressing seems to tenderize the raw kale. I've been bringing this to potlucks for 15 years to rave reviews.
I saute some onions ( slightly browned), add some chopped garlic,some sliced red pepper, a can of lentils (drained ) and roughly chopped kale and some chopped basil.Let it cook for a few mins and then add some feta and put a lid cook for about 2-3 mins. Tastes yum as a warm salad or you can mix any pasta with it to make a meal out of it.But basically stir frying the kale.
re: shakkar
I love kale and eat it a few times a week. These are my two basic preparations:
1.. Version of Catalan spinach dish: Fry onions until deep brown. While they brown, boil kale for about 4-5 minutes. Wring out and chop. Soak raisins in balsamic or sherry vinegar. Add kale and raisins to onions in pan and toss together. Salt.
2. Chop kale in fine ribbons. Put generous amount of olive oil in pan on medium high heat. Add kale, a bunch at a time. Fry until crispy. Some will turn brown but I don't care. Just cook down until it is the texture you like. Can add a touch of sherry/water but that will take away some of the crispiness that I like.
3. Bonus idea: Use kale instead of spinach in this fabulous recipe, a version of Spanish migas with chick peas, bread crumbs, and chorizo, along with the kale.
4. Second bonus idea: Use in a version of trinxat, Catalan potato and bacon cake. (I use recipe in The New Spanish Table cookbook)
re: rararachel
I also have enjoyed this salad...it is DELICIOUS and so simple! Have been buying organic dino kale at the Farmers Market since October...fabulous stuff with great nutrition...! Lightly cooked in a soup or stew is awesome, also raw in that massaged salad ... also sauteed with garlic and onion and a little vinegar...!
The best way I've had kale is from a very well known Vancouver chef - Vikram Vij - the owner of Vij's -
Stem the kale but leave the leaves :-) whole - marinate for at least 1 hour in coconut milk, lime juice and a little cayenne - 1 can coconut, 1 lime to 1 bunch kale - Curly Kale is best and I like red kale -
Then grill on a very hot grill (outside is best - or turn on your fan) - make sure the edges of the leaves get blackened - it doesn't take long - it's delicious!!!
re: harryharry
I've made a bunch different things from vij's cookbooks and this is one of my favourite ways to prepare kale. Yum!
Four ways that I cook kale:
1)braised w/onions, ham hock(or bacon), and chicken broth. Topped w/ cider vinegar
2) Mixed in mashed potatoes w/leeks and onion.
3) Stirred in soup w/sweet potatoes and sausage.
4) Crispy kale chips. Have to try the suggestion of cutting it in thin strips before roasting.
re: The Professor
Glad to hear you say it. Every time I saute kale, it ranges between just OK to total suckage. Doesn't matter if I have parboiled it first or not.
I have found the only decent way for me to make it is either kale chips, or my new favorite...chiffonade the raw kale, mix w/ cooked wild rice and a vinaigrette, allow to marinate in the vinaigrette an hour or so before eating.
I love it in soups and added to bean dishes (some of these mentioned earlier).
Another technique - I like small pieces in my soup and beans - so you can actually freeze the leaves until the are hard, take them out of the freezer and quickly crush with your hands and you will have perfect little shards of kale to mix into your dishes.
A Southern friend taught me to make greens back in my college days, and though I've since substituted OO and garlic for his bacon and onions, I've been using his method ever since: heat some garlic in oil, then throw in the wet kale and let it braise in its own liquid ~20-30 minutes, season, and that's it..
You've got to remove the tough stems from the leaves first, though, and here's a neat folky trick for that: toss your kale in the sink and wash it well. Then pick up a leaf and hold it by the tip, tip up, and just rip the leaf away from the stem on one side, pulling down like tearing paper. It comes off in one piece with remarkable ease, and it's kind of amazing to see. Then turn the leaf around and do the other side.
Saute your garlic in a pot containing enough OO to coat the bottom (OO/butter also works well), then toss in the washed and de-stemmed kale. The leaves will have enough water on them to provide sufficient braising liquid. If not, toss in a little more water. Cover the pot and let them cook. When they're soft enough, after about 20-30 minutes or so, eyeball the amount of pot liquor, and toss in the appropriate amount of dry bouillon and pepper flakes (optional). Cook for another 5 minutes and that's it.
I just sautee it as well. But I always cut out the tough spine of each leaf. Takes a little more time to prep, but it's done in no time. Either tear up or shred and sautee until wilted. I do this for store bought and the kale in my garden when in season.
I mostly saute it, too, but I put a splash of some sort of liquid (stock, water, etc.) in the pan and put the lid on for a few minutes, too. That helps it to be more tender without steaming it or cooking it until it looks sad and brown.
I've been on a big kale kick lately. Last night I put it in a curry with some chickpeas, and tonight I'm going to stir-fry some and make a black bean sauce for it to have alongside a chicken stir-fry.
Oak at 14th in Boulder, CO has the best raw kale salad I have ever tried:
I do it at home with crushed Marcona almonds instead and it gets rave reviews!
I actually have a great way how to make kale quesadillas:
chop the kale and sautee into the pan with grape seed oil, 1 garlic clove and half onion, first sautee the onion, garlic and when it's caramelized add the chopped kale and sautee until it's tender, add some black ground pepper and sea salt. Then make your quesadillas: corn tortilla with mozzarella cheese and add the kale mix. This is a great way to introduce the kale to your kids, for me my husband it's mexican so he loves this quesadillas and i made him the kale quesadillas and he loved it.
Try it, it's super easy fast meal.
Let me know how it turned out.
Portuguese kale soup! Also raw in salads like http://www.food.com/recipe-finder/all.... Either way, remove the stem and slice it in thin slivers.

Fender Hall of Fame Inducts Jamerson, Yamano
Aug. 7, 2009, By Jeff Owens
Hundreds of employees and guests looked on and applauded as Fender inducted two titans from very different corners of the music industry at its annual Hall of Fame ceremony.
So honored were James Jamerson (1936-1983), legendary house bassist for Detroit's Motown Records throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, and Masamitsu "Mike" Yamano, former CEO of Japan's Yamano Music Co. Ltd. and a pivotal figure in Fender's mid-1980s resurrection.
The ceremony took place on Friday, Aug. 7, at the Tempe Center for the Performing Arts in Tempe, Ariz., near Fender's corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Ariz. The Fender Hall of Fame was founded in 2007 to recognize and honor those who have made outstanding contributions to Fender throughout the company's history. Inductees include illustrious and influential figures within the Fender corporation, other industry figures who have made a significant contribution to Fender, and artists who have made their place in music history using Fender instruments.
"It's days like today that remind you that this is really a very special company," said Bill Mendello, Fender CEO and board chairman, welcoming everyone. "This company has a legacy unlike any other company I know of in the industry."
Very special guests on hand included Takashi Nonomura, general manager of Yamano Music's overseas division, and Jamerson's widow, Annie Jamerson, and daughter, Penny Jamerson.
Mendello talked about how Yamano provided invaluable aid as Fender modern-era CEO Bill Schultz led a small group of investors in reviving the ailing company in the mid-1980s after years of neglect under CBS.
"Mike Yamano has been a constant in Fender success for more than 40 years," he said. "His vision and leadership in one of the most important periods in Fender's development has helped Fender grow into the leadership position it's in today."
In a video message from his home in Japan, Yamano himself said, "I am humbled to receive this recognition and am pleased to be inducted into the Fender Hall of Fame."
On accepting the honor on behalf of Yamano, Nonomura called the induction "one of the most memorable moments in the 117-year history" of Yamano Music.
A video tribute for Jamerson included remembrances and congratulations from Motown legend Smokey Robinson, uber-bassists Marcus Miller and Geddy Lee, and others.
From left, Penny Jamerson, Bob Babbitt. Bill Mendello and Annie Jamerson with the plaque honoring James Jamerson.
Fellow Motown bass legend Bob Babbitt, present at the ceremony, knew and worked with Jamerson, and noted that the great bassist "inspired so many—not only bass players, but all musicians. Some of the most incredible classic bass parts that were ever recorded."
The house grew utterly silent as Babbitt, pausing occasionally as if nearly overcome by emotion, noted that when Jamerson played, "He heard things that no one else heard and saw things that no one else saw."
"James was his own spirit," Babbitt said. "I think his legacy will be with us through eternity. That's saying something."
Annie Jamerson called the ceremony "a beautiful moment" and thanked everyone graciously for "honoring my husband this way."
"We are just so honored," she said. "I thank god for blessing Mr. Leo Fender with the gift of putting together an instrument that my husband would pick up and that would propel him into greatness with music being heard around the world. I'm so proud to have him as my husband, and that you're honoring us."
Jamerson's daughter, Penny, said, "It's a special time, because on Aug. 2, 1983, my father passed away, and for his legacy to continue on—because he didn't know how special he was at that time—it's so special to take the time and have people put this together."
In very different ways, Jamerson and Yamano are towering figures in Fender history.
Jamerson transformed the role of electric bass in popular music. He was Motown's top session bassist from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, and his impeccable and infectious bass guitar work underpinned more hit records than that of perhaps any other bassist in history. His influence on bassists of all eras and styles is incalculable, and he is universally regarded as one of the instrument's finest players.
His unerring musical instincts—brought to life on a 1962 Fender Precision Bass® guitar—were called upon time and again for what would prove to be timelessly enduring classics by the Miracles, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Martha and the Vandellas, the Four Tops, the Supremes and many other artists.
Although he received little public recognition or credit during his lifetime for his mastery, the countless hits fueled by Jamerson's propulsive and musically adventurous bass work remain beloved by millions worldwide as each generation discovers and rediscovers the magic of Motown's 1960s golden age.
In 1985, as president of the Tokyo-based musical instrument distributor and retailer bearing his family's name, Yamano provided crucial early support to Fender's re-emergence. As a major investor, board member and close friend, he extended an invaluable helping hand—his financial generosity, expert guidance and longstanding friendship literally helped save Fender. He was instrumental in the creation and administration of highly successful joint venture Fender Japan, a key element in the development of the modern Fender corporation.
The inaugural Hall of Fame ceremony in August 2007 honored Clarence "Leo" Fender, Don Randall, Charlie Hayes, Forrest White and Freddie Tavares, in addition to Schultz. The 2008 ceremony honored the Beach Boys and guitarist James Burton, photographer/adman Robert Perine, and Fender's Dan Smith, Bill Carson and Don Johnston.

NEW YORK The Commerce Departments International Trade Administration (ITA) has issued the final results in an anti-dumping duty administrative review of imports of circular-welded carbon steel pipe and tube (not more than 16 inches in outside diameter) from Turkey from May 1, 2010, to April 30, 2011.
The ITA issued weighted-average margins of 6.05 percent to Borusan (which includes Borusan Group, Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret AS and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret TAS) and zero to Toscelik (which includes Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi AS and Tosyali Dis Ticaret AS).
The ITA determined that Yucel Group and Erbosan Erciyas Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret AS had no reviewable entries during the period of review.

People such as the elusive Baseline Rapist are the real criminals on the street — not illegal immigrants. That was one of the messages that several hundred people conveyed in downtown Phoenix on Friday morning as they criticized Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and County Attorney Andrew Thomas for interpreting a law against human smuggling that has allowed them to jail hundreds.
Arpaio and Thomas have decided to use an antismuggler law as a tool to charge undocumented immigrants with conspiracy to commit human smuggling. So far, nearly 250 people have been jailed under the law.
Friday's demonstration was staged by statewide advocacy group Immigrants Without Borders (Emigrantes Sin Fronteras) and drew hundreds of mostly Latino protesters from all over the Valley. Some carried signs bearing the police sketch of the Baseline Rapist with the words "This is the real criminal." Others had posters accusing Arpaio of racism.
Protesters wore makeshift plastic handcuffs and blue tape over their mouths as they marched to Arpaio's office, where the group's president, Elías Bermúdez, got down on his knees in a melodramatic gesture before the sheriff and a media mob.
"We implore you to stop the hostility against the Hispanic community," Bermúdez said.
But Arpaio wasn't budging.
"You can't change my mind on this," Arpaio countered. "I will continue to lock up illegals who conspire with smugglers."
Bermúdez then told Arpaio he would be out of a job if he didn't reconsider.
"If you don't want to work with us, then the only thing I can tell you is you cannot be our sheriff," he said.
Arpaio and Thomas have been using the human trafficking law to arrest the people who hire "coyotes," or human smugglers, even though critics say the law was drafted with only the smugglers in mind. Several months ago, Arpaio launched a posse of civilians charged with patrolling the county border to stop anyone trying to smuggle themselves into the country.
In June, a Superior Court judge upheld the county attorney's legal interpretation of the coyote law.
Yet the very same judge delivered a blow to Arpaio's efforts Tuesday when he dismissed conspiracy charges against two of the first immigrants tried under the law.
Still, that ruling does not set a legal precedent, and Arpaio plans to continue prosecuting illegal immigrants as conspirators. His actions have left many pro-illegal immigrant groups outraged.
"(I'm here) because I consider it important to fight for our rights and our dignity," Mesa resident and volunteer Ernesto Acuña said in Spanish.
"I'm an immigrant, and although I'm here legally in this country, all of the immigrants contribute to the growth of this country."
María Delcarmen, of Emigrantes Sin Fronteras, accused Arpaio of injustice.
"It's not right the way he's enforcing the law," she said in Spanish. "We are human beings, and we came here to this land out of hunger and necessity — for a better future for our children."
After the scene with Arpaio, the crowd picketed and chanted before marching across the street to the county attorney's office in an effort to confront Thomas.
But Thomas was out of town, and a man who came to talk to Bermúdez told him the office "was not prepared" for the situation.
The department accepted a letter from Emigrantes Sin Fronteras, and Thomas later issued a statement through his spokesman saying he will continue to uphold the law.
Bermúdez said he was not happy with Arpaio's response.
"I'm very disappointed," Bermúdez said. "He proved he does not have a heart — he only has a badge."

ResearchMy research articulates and explores the connections between rhetorical theory, postcolonial theory, subaltern studies, feminist theory, and Latina/Chicana and Latin American Critical Communication Studies. Working from within each body of literature, I explore how Latin American subjects come to voice in testimonio texts, illustrating and building theories of rhetorical agency. I also am concerned with the ways Latin American women challenge dominant paradigms that typically erase or silence their voices. Specifically, I am interested in the ways these women represent their pueblos' [communities'] experiences and advocate for social change and justice.

Scoring a touchdown in a National Championship is always a special.
For Irish wideout TJ Jones, it would have been extra special Monday night because of his family's history.
But the Notre Dame junior came up just short of the goal line on two occasions in Notre Dame's 42-14 loss to Alabama at Sun Life Stadium. Despite the lopsided loss, Jones played well---bringing in a career high 7 receptions for 90 yards.
It was a great way to honor his dad Andre, who passed 19 months ago of a brain anyersum at the age of 42. Andre was a star linebacker on Notre Dame's last national championship team in 1988.
"You know I just wanted to perform for not only my family, my team but my dad most of all—because I know how much he wanted to be here," TJ explained after the game. "It's something—win or lose—I wanted to leave it all on the field."
TJ says he thought about his dad a lot during the course of the game.
"When times when adversity hit and people were in the dumps, I knew he wouldn't want me to slump, he wouldn't want me to get into a rut," TJ says. "I tried to keep a positive attitude, build the team back up and kept a smile on his face."
"I just pictured his smile. I pictured him joking—telling me, 'take it easy—let the game come to you instead of trying to force it.'"
TJ has one more year left at Notre Dame—yet another year to make his dad proud.

Batteries Donated to Anderson Business

Sometime late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, two batteries were stolen from Wanda Leach's company, Junk-N-Treasures, in Anderson.
After seeing KRCR News Channel 7's story on the stolen batteries, Napa Auto Parts stepped up to the plate and donated and installed two truck batteries.
"It just feels nice to do something good in times like these," said Gary Hill of Napa Auto Parts.
Leach said she's been overwhelmed and touched by all the community support.
