Penzey's signature spice mixes
Please tell me if you think the Penzey spice mixes are worth buying. I am particularly interested in :
Sandwich Sprinkle
French Viniagrette
Shallot Salt
Or give me feedback please on any others you think are a great or ineffective way to spend my money.
re: mmalmad
I love the shallot salt, too. But mine is caked up already.
I also love their Florida seasoned pepper.
I bought the vinaigrette and I thought it was a waste, as the first 2 ingredients are sugar and salt. I have sent Penzeys E-mails and letters asking they they make their mixes salt and sugar free.
Seasoning and spicing are 2 different operations, and I would prefer that I can control the amount of salt in my diet. I tend to use more spice than many people, and if I use their mixes, it will have too much salt.
I love their mix flavors, but I would like to see them made salt/sugar free.
re: Kelli2006
I try to limit my salt intake due to hypertension, and avoid seasoning mixes that include salt. My two favorite Penzey's purchases are salt-free:
Florida Seasoned Pepper (Tellicherry black pepper, lemon & orange peel, onion & garlic) -- I shake lots of this onto poultry, fish and sandwiches.
Sunny Paris (shallots, chives, green peppercorns, basil, tarragon, bay leaf, dill) -- this combo makes superb vinaigrette.
re: WendyBinCT
WendyB, try the Mural of Flavor Salt Free - also pretty good.
re: LindaWhit
Will do! Thanks for the recommendation!
re: WendyBinCT
Since this thread has been resurrected, I'll send my gratitude to LindaWhit for suggesting Mural of Flavor. It enhances just about everything. A new fave!
re: WendyBinCT
Wendy, you are most welcome!
re: WendyBinCT
I LOVE the Florida Seasoned Pepper. I sprinkled some in my coleslaw when I made a batch for a potluck, and everyone raved about it like never before. I think it's my new secret ingredient.
re: Kelli2006
I love Penzey's for their individual spices, but I agree that some (not all) of the blends are dissapointing. Salad dressing mix, taco seasoning, etc. all rely too much on sugar and salt for my preference. I've heard some folks defend these blends saying that they are supposed to have these ingredients. Maybe so, but sugar and salt content is defintely something to keep in mind when shopping at Penzey's]
The blends I like most at Penzey's are the mild chili powder, the Italian herb mix (not the Italian salad dressing mix), and the sweet curry powder.
re: silverbear
Silverbear, I agree with you totally. I have managed to cut HFCS/ sweeteners out of my diet and now most ready-made products now seem sickening sweet to me. I like spicy food but spices with added sugar and salt don't work well when you don't like it normal-for-America sweet.
I also love the Italian herb mix and I bought a large bag of it for my daughter at school. This is her first semester in a apartment and this blend is perfect for most Italian dishes. She also likes the Chinese 5 spice, medium chili powder, fox point , Florida lemon pepper and the roast beef blend (great for almost all beef dishes) poultry seasoning (great for both pork and chicken) .
I like the Chicago steak seasoning, but I could do with the sugar and salt in the blend. (Who puts sugar on grilled beef?)
I have managed to mix a copy of their Italian vinaigrette spice blend up from individual spices that I have and it quite good.
I wonder if it is possible to send Penzeys a petition to ask to remove sugar and salt from their blends, and get it signed by interested Chowhound members?
re: Kelli2006
"I like the Chicago steak seasoning, but I could do with the sugar and salt in the blend. (Who puts sugar on grilled beef?)"
Lots of marinades and dry rubs have sugar in them. It's not a lot of sugar - perhaps 1 Tbsp. in a dry rub of about 1 cup. Or honey or brown sugar in a marinade mixture. I like the sweet against the tang or heat of whatever else is in the marinade. Can also help form a nice crust on the outside of the beef if a bit of sugar gets to caramelize.
re: LindaWhit
I just tried the Chicago steak seasoning tonight for the first time. I will give it to someone tomorrow. I like my own rub of freshly ground black pepper, granulated garlic and sea salt much better.
re: Kelli2006
I don't think I'd go as far as a petition. I just buy what I like and skip what I don't. I think that sends a strong enough message. Despite our shared misgivings about the sugary, salty blends, they must have a constituency or Penzey's wouldn't continue to produce them. The one time I tried the Italian salad dressing mix, I found it much too sweet, but some of my guests raved about it. Nevertheless, Penzey's recently introduced several new salt-free (and sugar-free) blends including Mural of Flavor and Tuscan Sunset, so I think that someone at Penzey's is listening.
re: silverbear
Oooh - Tuscan Sunset - haven't seen that one (and have to make a Penzey's run this weekend). What's that one about?
re: LindaWhit
Appears to be like the Italian herb mix but with some fennel and other ingredients. I wouldn't use it for marinara sauce; instead, I think it might be good with foods to be roasted or grilled.
re: LindaWhit
Hi LindaWhit!
Just got the Penzey's catalog today and the new salt-free Tuscan Sunset is on the cover. Ingredients include basil, oregano, garlic, aleppo pepper, black pepper, and fennel. It says it's good in tomato sauce, veggies, as a marinade for meat, or salad dressing. There's also an attached coupon for a free 1/2 cup glass jar to try it out (or the spicy or smoky 4/S salts) - good for both catalog orders and in-store.
re: Rubee
Rubee, thanks! I barely glanced at it when I got the catalog along with several others and tossed it on the stack of Williams-Sonoma/Chef's Catalog/LLBean/Eddie Bauer/Boudin's Bakery/et al catalogs. :-)
The coupon is definitely something I'll use this weekend in the Arlington store! (A half cup? That's a LOT!)
re: Rubee
An update - I just checked my catalog - yes, it has the Tuscan Sunset mixture noted on the top right corner of the cover, but no coupon. Just a tear-out card to subscribe to Penzey's ONE Magazine. I did that for one year and just didn't think it was worth the $20 a year.
And looking again at the combination of ingredients, I have all of them, so I might get the 1/4 cup for $1.99, and then make my own mix if I really like it. Thanks again, Rubee!
re: LindaWhit
Oh too bad! Anyways, it's part of a paper cover attached to the Penzey's catalog.
I wish I could give you the coupon....hmmm...we are local! ; )
re: Rubee
I picked up the smallest container of Tuscan Sunset herb mix at Penzey's yesterday, and mixed a healthy tsp. of it with about 1/4 cup of spreadable goat cheese, a half Tbsp. of roasted garlic, and some salt and pepper. Tucked the mixture in under the skin of some chicken thighs, rubbed the thighs on the outside with some olive oil, and sprinkled on some additional Tuscan Sunset herbs. Roasted them in the oven at about 425° until they were done, and enjoyed them VERY much! I'm definitely going to try this herb mix on other things as well.
re: LindaWhit
Thanks for the update - sounds like I have to get over to Penzey's soon!
re: silverbear
I don't generally buy any blends as I like to mix my own. If I make my own taco seasoning (which tastes MUCH better than any packet mix I've ever tried) I'm helping keep my spices used up and replaced so they are as fresh as can be. I don't need Penzey's to do it for me. I buy all my spices through them though.

Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix
1 tablespoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
re: Kelli2006
You might want to give this place a try. Very good service and mixes are quite good!
re: LindaWhit
The Brady Street Cheese Sprinkle is really good, and makes a great dip or salad dressing, depending on how much liquid is added.
re: mikester
Brady Street Sprinkle is the only mix I buy at Penzey's(I do buy all my individual herbs and spices there however...great quality!)
We love the Brady Street stuff on popcorn. If you haven't tried this, do so!
re: LindaWhit
I don't like the salad sprinkle, but should've known better. It's heavy on the garlic powder, which I don't like at all.
Penzey's Fox Point seasoning is one of my favorites (salt, shallots, chives, grarlic, onion, and green peppercorns). I use it for everything - it's great with eggs, seafood, and mixed with olive oil as a marinade.
re: meatn3
I also just used the Parisienne Herb mix in my chicken salad for work lunches. Nice when all you want is herbs.
re: meatn3
I have a fox point addiction. It is so yummy on eggs and mixed in my tuna salad.
re: meatn3
Don't like Mural of Flavor as much as Fox Point, but it is very good.
re: Hooda_Guest
I love the shallot-pepper seasoning... but, sadly, it isn't in their latest catalog and none available at our local Penzey's. Has it been discontinued?
re: jim1126
As of rght now, it is still on their web site. You might give it a try.
re: Kelli2006
HAH! I must have lost something in translation.
re: yayadave
Well, now I'm worried. I guess I better stock up before it disappears totally.
re: jim1126
I just received a catalog the other day. It is there, but listed in the pepper section, under blends!
re: meatn3
Bless you for finding that! I missed it, and our "local" Penzey's (Houston, but it's a 30-minute drive) is indeed out of stock. I'm ordering some now!
jfood uses
- the shallot-pepper all the time. fantastic on fish and chicken
- the montreal seasoning in hamburgers (plus the water(. jfood made a couple of dozen burgers for a group of college kids 3 weeks ago and each of them raved about the burgers. jfood finally tasted and he agreed it was probably the best seasoned burger he had tasted in a while
re: dmfnole
Agreed! I like it in tomato juice.
re: litchick
4/S seasoned salt--did you try the Spicy or the Smoky? I just got the Penzeys catalog yesterday and noticed the two types, was intrigued by the smoky which includes smoked paprika in the ingredients.
re: coney with everything
I got the spicy, which I don't really like. I tried the smoky at the store, and though it's better, perhaps I'm just not really a fan of seasoned salt? I've been thinking about how to put into words *why* the 4S didn't work for me, but the best I can do is to say that it was really overmuch -- too spiced. Which is funny, since I'm the queen of salt, and the queen of spice. I guess I feel like it's not well balanced enough for me to want to put on my food.
re: litchick
Thanks for the reply--I'm also not a big fan of seasoned salt. Salt and spice mixes in general usually contain powdered onion and/or garlic, and I'm not a fan of either. I thought the smoky salt sounded decent, though, possibly as a dry rub ingredient.
re: litchick
I didn't like the Ozark blend until I realized it's strong and needs to be used sparingly. I really like it on cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts) I'm going to roast in the oven with olive oil.
re: amyzan
Thanks for tip on Ozark, I haven't been using it much, but I'll give it a whirl on the cauliflower and sprouts. ;)
I agree with other posters about there being way too much salt and sugar in most Penzey's mixtures, but they are getting better and there are more and more salt-free options. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could start a movement among ALL food manufacturers to drop ecess salt and sugar from prepared foods, seasonings, etc? It's absolutely appalling how much of this crap is in our foods, and it's unnecessary and unhealthy.
Perhaps if we keep complaining on boards such as these ...
re: tzurriz
The aleppo pepper is great, so complex and complements a huge range of foods.
re: amyzan
I am another Fox Point fan but do not care fro 4/s. the bay leaf blend is excellent and I use the apple pie and pumpkin pie blends all the time in baking. the pumpkin is also very good when you want to brighten up the flavor of a winter squash dish. My DH loves their Fleur de sel sea salt sprinkled on his garden tomatoes.
The bay leaf seasoning is great. It is super in soups and stews that call for a bay leave. I also really like the green goddess dressing mix and garlic salt (it's nothing compared to the supermarket garlic salt). I'll have to try the shallot salt.
-- Galena Street Rub -- really nice flavor for broiled chicken legs. Hand-mixed from: flake salt, sugar, black pepper, paprika, ground Grenadian nutmeg, sage, cayenne and red pepper.
-- Parisienne Bonnes Herbes - Hand-mixed from: chives, dill weed, French basil, French tarragon, chervil and white pepper. I love this in egg salad. It's very nice to mix with melted butter, as a dressing for steamed vegetable.
-- Pasta Sprinkle (salt free)- California and French basil, Turkish oregano, minced garlic and thyme. Very convenient to add to vegetables, sauces.
-- Aleppo pepper - not a blend, but I love it on pizza, vegetables, eggs, sprinkled in a mild cheese sandwich.
Recommended.... I buy these classic mixes from Penzeys. These mixes are typical. I buy from Penzeys because I know the base ingredients are good quality and fresh:
-- Medium chili powder
-- Sweet curry powder
-- Shrimp and crab boil spices
Tried these and was not impressed:
-- Garam Masala - this seemed way to heavy on cinnamon and nutmeg, but I'm no expert on Indian spices.
-- Greek seasoning -- too much dried garlic
-- Florida pepper -- I see others love this. It did not float my boat. Peppercorn is the main ingredient and I would rather have it fresh-ground.
When it comes to Penzey's, I can't get enough of:
Fox Point
NORTHWOODS FIRE (I put that on everything but dessert)
I also like:
Old World
Big fan of Penzey's, and Sunny Paris or Herbs de Provence are my go-tos for salad. Just wanted to add that some mixes work well on unexpected foods. For example, I love the Bavarian Seasoning (crushed brown mustard, rosemary, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and sage - no salt or sugar), which is promoted for meats, on steamed fresh brussels sprouts (with a little olive oil, a dash of coarse sea salt, and a dash of black pepper).
Don't care much for the Mural of Flavor, BTW.
re: Striver
Herbs de Provence for anything chicken.
Yes, a definite, some of their rubs are just great, such as Galena Street, and they're intelligent and reasonable priced about selling spices. They're good, honest, tell you what's in every blend. It's hard to find people who are so straightforward, so any craping you hear will be from people who have the information directly from Penzys. You can use that information to buy the raw materials if you like a blend of theirs, and alter it any way you want. They also sell bottles and shakers. Good people.
I realize this is an older post... Someone gave me the Penzey's Florida and another small jar of Penzey's pink and red (I think that's the name)? Anyway, they are so good. I added the Florida to a half of an avacado yesterday for a snack, and it was kind of like guacamole, but even better. I never had any Penzey's items before, now I see what all the fuss is about. It was so good. Just had to say something about it!
I don't care for any of the savory blends I've tried; the pepper just doesn't taste as good as freshly home-ground to me, and onion and garlic powders are not high on my list.
I do like and use their Cake Spice in many things: baked goods, cocoa, etc.
Salt and sugar are great to bulk up a spice mix, and they are heavy, so economical for Pezney's to use. I'm glad to hear they are introducing some salt- and sugar-free herb blends.
re: curiousbaker
I don't usually buy blends because I like to make my own, but I love the Tuscan Sunset blend. It is salt free and great with red wine vinegar and a bit of olive oil on cucumbers. My go-to hot summer night dish.

Robert Downey Jr. and Kevin Feige Talk IRON MAN 4; Downey Says He Wants to Launch a New Non-IRON MAN Franchise
by Adam Chitwood Posted 1 year, 191 days ago
Though Iron Man 3 only just hit theaters a couple of weeks ago (and crossed the $1 billion mark at the box office today), many of the conversations surrounding the film have revolved around the prospect of Iron Man 4. A fourth film in Marvel's most prominent—and successful—franchise seems like a no-brainer, but there's the tiny matter of star Robert Downey Jr.'s contract. His agreement with Marvel is currently up for renegotiation, meaning there is no guarantee that he'll don the Iron Man suit again. The actor is said to be in negotiations to return for The Avengers 2 and The Avengers 3, but an agreement has yet to be made regarding another standalone Iron Man film.
Downey and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige recently talked a bit about the prospect of seeing Iron Man 4 pop up in Marvel's Phase Three slate of films, and while Feige is confident that the character will live on no matter what happens, Downey seems keen on taking a break from Tony Stark for a bit. Hit the jump for more.

Dining with DonorsSeptember 22nd, 2014 by Marla Dominguez '14
These past two weeks we had the pleasure with two representatives of the CPGC donors.
David and Cecilia were both very interested in the work we are pursing while at Haverford House. It was great to speak about our fellowship experience as well as the hard work we've put in during our time so far.
Both conversations left us with full bellies.
Thank you for all of your support, David and Cecilia! We hope to see you again soon.

U.S. stocks closed higher Monday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average added two points to 15546, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose three points to 1696 and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 13 points to 3600. Among the companies whose shares are trading actively after hours are Netflix Inc. (NFLX), Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) and Sanmina Corp. (SANM).
Netflix's second-quarter profit soared higher as the movie-subscription company added more Internet subscribers domestically and abroad. Still, shares fell 8% to $241.00 after hours as the number of domestic streaming subscribers came in below some analyst estimates, especially in light of recent buzz for "Arrested Development" and Netflix's other unique content.
Texas Instruments' second-quarter profit rose 48% as the chip maker recorded a one-time gain, masking a decline in revenue. Still, shares rose 2.1% to $38.21 after hours, as results were in-line with the company's forecast.
Sanmina, an integrated manufacturing solutions company, reported third-quarter results that beat analyst expectations, sending shares 4.9% higher to $16.00 after hours. The company also provided a fourth-quarter outlook generally in-line with consensus expectations.
Regular-Session Movers
Berkshire Hills Bancorp Inc. (BHLB, $26.99, -$1.77, -6.15%) expects second-quarter earnings below analysts' estimates, citing a rise in long-term interest rates in the second half of the quarter.
BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc. (BCRX, $3.72, +$1.26, +51.22%) said that a randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 1 clinical trial of orally administered BCX4161 in healthy volunteers successfully met all of its objectives.
With shares at a six-year high, Carmike Cinemas Inc. (CKEC, $18.89, -$0.89, -4.50%) unveiled a stock sale to raise capital for potential uses including acquisitions. The company also reported Monday that its second-quarter earnings surged as movie-goers paid more for tickets and concessions, but results fell short of Wall Street expectations.
DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. (DWA, $23.77, -$1.13, -4.54%) saw a middling debut in North America for its film "Turbo." Sterne Agee in a note to clients said the uninspiring opening isn't a one-time event but another illustration of the challenges to DreamWorks' business model due to decreasing box-office opportunity and high legacy production and releasing costs. Janney Capital, however, notes that the movie won't open "in several key regions, including most European countries," until the fourth quarter, meaning it will be more difficult to ultimately gauge the performance of "Turbo."
Emerson Electric Co. (EMR, $60.26, +$1.46, +2.48%) orders for the three months ending in June grew from the year-ago period, the first order growth since January for the diversified manufacturer, which has struggled against weak end markets. The best-performing unit was process management, growing 10% to 15% on rising orders from the natural-gas, chemical and power markets.
Hasbro Inc. (HAS, $46.87, +$1.49, +3.28%) and Walt Disney Co. (DIS, $64.40, -$0.76, -1.17%) agreed to extend the toy maker's merchandising rights to Marvel characters an additional two years, while Hasbro also posted a 16% decline in second-quarter earnings amid weaker sales of boys-focused toys.
Google Inc. (GOOG, $910.70, +$14.10, +1.57%) agreed to acquire an initial 6.3% interest in Himax Technologies Inc.'s (HIMX, $6.74, +$1.57, +30.37%) display unit and has the option to buy up to a 14.8% stake in the developer of commercial applications for liquid-crystal-on-silicon technologies.
Lennox International Inc.'s (LII, $72.36, +$2.36, +3.37%) second-quarter earnings rose 44% as the heating- and cooling-equipment maker's revenue topped consensus estimates and margins improved. The company also raised its full-year adjusted earnings estimate.
McDonald's Corp.'s (MCD, $97.58, -$2.69, -2.68%) second-quarter earnings rose 3.7% as global same-store sales ticked higher, but both top- and bottom-line growth fell short of Wall Street views and margins shrank. Sterne Agee specifically noted weaker-than-expected June same-store sales and expectations for flat same-store sales in July as drags on the stock.
Regional grocery distributor Spartan Stores Inc. (SPTN, $22.04, +$0.84, +3.96%) agreed to acquire food distributor Nash Finch Co. (NAFC, $26.24, +$0.81, +3.19%) for about $312 million in stock, a deal it said will make the combined company a top distributor to military commissaries and exchanges in the U.S. Nash Finch shareholders will receive 1.2 shares of Spartan Stores for each share they hold, valuing Nash Finch at $25.44 a share.
Gold and silver's rally had shares of miners and precious-metals companies riding high. "Technically, gold breaking $1,300 and silver breaking $20 has gotten some shorts to cover," Sterne Agee's Michael Dudas told Dow Jones. Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM, $30.35, +$1.66, +5.79%) in particular has lagged the group in the last week, "so it's catching up a little bit" ahead of its second-quarter reported expected later this week. Shares of Royal Gold Inc. (RGLD, $48.98, +$3.30, +7.22%)(RGL.T) and Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX, $17.56, +$1.02, +6.17%)(ABX.T) also rose.
Parker Drilling Co. (PKD, $5.88, +$0.32, +5.76%) expects second-quarter revenue above analyst estimates, including contributions from its April acquisition of International Tubular Services Ltd.
PetMed Express Inc.'s (PETS, $17.17, +$2.06, +13.63%) fiscal first-quarter earnings rose 20% as the retail pet pharmacy reported an increase in new customers and higher sales. Results topped expectations.
Two Chinese solar firms unveiled new deals Monday, giving a boost to the sector. ReneSola Ltd. (SOL, $4.20, +$0.48, +12.90%) agreed to provide solar panels to Thai energy firm Energy Absolute PCL, while Suntech Power Holdings Co. (STP, $1.40, +$0.04, +2.94%) (K3ND.SG) will provide solar panels for a Mexican power plant. JinkoSolar Holding Co. (JKS, $13.61, +$1.30, +10.56%), JA Solar Holdings Co. (JASO, $9.44, +$0.69, +7.89%) and Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ, $13.96, +$0.54, +4.02%) also traded higher.
Standard & Poor's Rating Services is mulling a downgrade on Saks Inc.'s (SKS, $14.94, -$0.95, -5.98%) junk-level credit ratings, saying the high-end retailer likely will be acquired in a deal that will add a substantial amount of debt.
Tower International Inc. (TOWR, $19.85, -$3.15, -13.70%) said private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP is planning to sell roughly half of its 61% stake. The auto-parts maker also reported that it swung to a second-quarter loss.
Willbros Group Inc. (WG, $8.14, +$1.00, +14.01%) raised its second-quarter view, citing a better-than-expected performance in its Utility Transmission & Distribution segment, complemented by what it characterized as modest improvement in its Oil & Gas segment.
Daniel Loeb's Third Point LLC disclosed plans to pare its stake in Yahoo Inc. (YHOO, $27.86, -$1.25, -4.29%) by two-thirds, a deal that will see the activist investor and two of his representatives leave the Internet pioneer's board. Yahoo said it would buy back about 3.7% of its outstanding shares from Third Point, its largest shareholder behind co-founder David Filo, reducing Third Point's stake to less than 2%.

Apr 2, 2014 7:03 PM by AP
COVINGTON, La. (AP) - A teenager accused of killing his father and 2-year-old half-sister in January has entered a not guilty plea to two counts of first-degree murder.
The New Orleans Advocate reports the 17-year-old defendant, his hands and feet shackled and wearing a striped jumpsuit, stood quietly Wednesday as state District Judge William Burris read the charges against him. Burris says the defendant will not face the death penalty because of his age.
The victims' bodies were found Jan. 6. St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain says both had been shot at close range. The teenager was arrested the next day. Strain has said the boy, who lived in Metairie with his mother, confessed to the crimes and cited a history of abuse by his father as the reason for the killings.

The Pennies from Heaven Drive is still in full-force, so for those carrying around spare change now is the time to unload it and assist the Tri-County VeteransŌĆÖ Stand Down in the process.
The Stand Down is an annual event that benefits local veterans and their dependents. The two-day event will take place Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 21 and 22 at the Northeast Washington Fairgrounds in Colville.
Now through the month of August, the Stand Down committee is holding a Pennies from Heaven drive to raise funds to help cover the Stand DownŌĆÖs expenses.
The drive consists of combat boots displayed at local businesses (including the Statesman-Examiner). Those wishing to contribute can drop whatever monetary amount they feel like into the boot. After the boot is filled, a representative from the Stand Down committee will retrieve the boot from the business and deposit the money in the Stand DownŌĆÖs bank account.
ŌĆ£For those who know about putting on a large event like this, you need to know what your budget is in advance,ŌĆØ says Tri-County Veterans Stand Down Chair Kathy Callan. ŌĆ£In order to make this event bigger and provide more services to our veterans, we need more money, and we didnŌĆÖt want to go door-to-door to businesses because times are tough and a lot of them area already strapped for cash. We thought this (Pennies from Heaven Drive) would be a good way to ask local merchants and the community to please help.ŌĆØ
Last yearŌĆÖs event served over 1,500 veterans
With an average budget of $25,000 to $30,000 (insurance, facility rentals, food for two days, etc.), funding is crucial to the eventŌĆÖs operations. The only difficulty is that some of the funding is not guaranteed, and even if it does come through in the form of grants, it usually isnŌĆÖt until three months or a week prior to the event.
ŌĆ£What usually happens is that the board spends all year planning for the Stand Down, we have it, make sure it runs smoothly, clean up after it, and then the whole process starts again,ŌĆØ explains Callan.
Callan adds that the non-profit organization usually gets a grant for $15,000 from the United States Department of Labor on a yearly basis, but the funds donŌĆÖt arrive until a week before the actual Stand Down. A $10,000 Homeless Veterans grant is also given from the VA Hospital in Spokane, but that doesnŌĆÖt arrive until three months before the event.
Neither grant covers the cost of the lunch and snacks that volunteers serve attendees both days, or the food baskets that are prepared in advance for homeless veterans. The cost of meals both days equals around $5,500, while the food baskets come to about $2,500.
Last yearŌĆÖs Stand Down serviced over 1,500 veterans and their dependents, according to Callan. This year, the committee would like to have a bus that provides transportation to the Stand Down for veterans from outlying areas that donŌĆÖt have the means to travel to Colville for Stand Down.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs important to us that people know we are available to help our veterans in other capacities, not just at the Stand Down,ŌĆØ states Callan. ŌĆ£Anything we can do to help, particularly for those veterans returning from Iraq, we want people to know that weŌĆÖre here.ŌĆØ
For more information about the Pennies from Heaven Drive, the Tri-County Veterans Stand Down, or how you can volunteer, call Callan at 684-3486 or Vice-Chair Jerry
Keller at 675-8235.
ŌĆ£We have really been supported by these businesses and would like them to know we appreciate their patriotism and support,ŌĆØ says Callan.

My brush with fame
Remember Janis Ian? ("At Seventeen", "Society's Child"). Somebody sent me a link to some screed she posted on her site about evil music corporations which included a rather silly and gratuitous swipe at Catholics. So I wrote to her board to point out that it was a silly and gratuitous swipe. Various people wrote back (one memorable poster lectured me to study European history and helpfully explained that the Ku Klux Klan has nothing against Catholics). Then, Janis replied too. Shut up, she explained and threatened to silence my criticism. Then she offered excuses. I replied again. Better read it now, before she deletes the thread in the spirit of openness and tolerance.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Today is our last day in the cottage.
This weekend we will be home in our flat country.
It was our first time here in Norway and I dare say we spoiled ourselves with the
best view of probable whole Norway!
The first few days we had beautiful, warm seater for this time of the year.
We enjoyed having breakfast, luch and dinner outside.
We went to Lærdal by ferry (beautiful views) on our way back spotted little
dolphins (we never saw one in the wild before, so we enjoyed it very much).
We also went on a little walk along the fjord (weird path on the side of the road
with rocks) which was very nice and gave us beautiful views from the other
side of the fjord and the waterfalls.
We even spotted an otter under the brigade near the Fjordtell!
Asbjörn told us that this does not happen very often.
Tomorrow se will go to Flåm by ferry and take the famous railway to Myrdal.
From there we will take the train to Bergen.
Asbjörn also told us to see the little craftshop. His wife makes beautiful necklaces
(among other things), so I could not rest.
We want to thank Asbjörn and his wife (nice talk we had)
for the hospitality and the peace and quiet that we enjoyed very much.
The view we will never forget and I am sure we will be back sometime in the future!
Even when cloudy or raining there is the magnificent view.
To the next guest we say: Enjoy yourselves!
"Takk for everything!"
Best regards
The Netherlands

(Davenport, Iowa) – Today, the Wellmark Foundation and the City of Davenport held a check presentation to recognize the future utilization of the "Veggie Mobile", or traveling fresh food vehicle, as well as the continued success of the community foods plan. Funded by a grant for $45,000 from the Wellmark Foundation, the Quad Cities Food Hub Veggie Mobile will increase access to healthy, fresh, locally grown food to area residents of all economic backgrounds, expand markets for local farmers, and improving access for low-income families and individuals.
Quad Cities Food Hub Veggie Mobile
Building on the initial success of the Quad Cities Food hub local foods grocery store at the Freight House, the community foods plan envisions greater community outreach through the purchase and utilization of a "Veggie Mobile", a traveling fresh food vehicle. Such an operation would increase access of healthy, fresh, locally grown food to area residents of all economic backgrounds and expand markets for local farmers, as well as access for low-income individuals and families. Education programming will also be a critical component of the mobile operation as it stops in neighborhoods throughout the Quad Cities community.
"It is gratifying to be partner to an initiative that generates such a profound ripple effect of community benefit," said Carla Jaquet, Chairman of the Quad Cities Food Hub. "The Veggie Mobile is the third of the Quad Cities Food Hub goals to be realized in effort to develop a local food distribution infrastructure and uphold the organizations mission to connect producers and consumers. The linking of QCFH Local Market Store, Veggie Mobile, and virtual - local food market place will augment successful current local food sales and build a solid foundation to support a sustainable local food chain to the Quad Cities and surrounding area."
Grant one of only eight selected
The Wellmark Foundation is a non-profit foundation that seeks to improve the health of Iowans, South Dakotans and their communities. Through its 2013 Matching Assets to Community Health (MATCH) Grant Program, the Foundation received 91 grant requests seeking support for smaller community health projects. This grant award to the city of Davenport represents one of eight competitively awarded grants to create pilot efforts or expand health initiatives throughout Iowa and South Dakota focused on childhood obesity prevention and community-based wellness projects.
The Wellmark Foundation is proud to award a cumulative total of over $350,588 to these eight grant recipients to serve as catalyst funding for local health projects.
"The Veggie Mobile is an innovative way to expand the Davenport community's access to healthy food options and information on proper nutrition," said Wellmark Foundation Director Matt McGarvey. "We are pleased to help with the continued success of the Quad Cities Food Hub project."
Quad Cities Food Hub
The mission of the Quad Cities Food Hub is to support healthy lifestyles by promoting local food production, connecting producers and consumers, and cultivating education and training programs. On the balanced foundation laid by its originating committee members, the Quad Cities Food Hub, together with key stakeholders, in 2012 began its work to carry out the initial group's vision of a sustainable local food system fostered through community partnership. Now a recognized Regional Food System Working Group, the organization continues to uphold those primary core values and work toward realization of its various goals.

- Summary: Named after Charles Manson's getaway driver, the British quartet Kasabian drew comparisons to The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, and Primal Scream with this debut LP.
- Record Label: Arista
- Genre(s): Indie, Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 12 out of 21
Mixed: 8 out of 21
Negative: 1 out of 21
An unstoppable, intense and astonishing assault on the senses that gives a respectable nod to the past while it blazes a trail to the future. [#9]
Whether it is described as danceable rock, rock-infused dance or sinister Britpop, Kasabian has made an excellent debut album.
If imitation is the biggest form of flattery, everyone involved in the Manchester scene circa 1988 will be smiling ear to ear when they hear Kasabian.
More balls than brains, but it's that swaggering, careless spirit that gives Kasabian its razor-sharp edge.
Still waiting for the next Lo Fidelity Allstars album? Wish there were more Stereo MC's-like stuff in car ads? Wondering where great songwriting teams like Gallagher/Gallagher have gone? Then Kasabian were made for you! They offer all the same thrills of the aforementioned artists, and they sound like Primal Scream, too!
Sure this album may well sound awesome if you've just snorted a metre of charlie or recently breakfasted from a menu of 'shrooms and LSD, but for sober ears it's enough to drive anyone to drugs.

Jul 5, 2012Kasabian are one of those bands I feel deserve a lot of credit for experminenting and being ambitious with their psychadelic rock sound. The best thing about them is if you stripped away the trickery and peeled away the layers, they do write really really good songs. Strangely enough, Kasabian's debut album was the last one that I listened to. I bought Empire and liked it but only when I got Velocoraptor and was really impressed that I went back through their albums again. Their debut is an excellent record, not perfect but they have a unique sound and the record shows plenty of ambition. Of course Clubfoot, still their most recognisable tune, is the standout track, but there is so much to like throughout this album.… Expand

text: Pigford Is Soaked With The Chicago Way In Politics Print article Send a Tip by Mary Chastain 1 May 2013 post a comment More: Pigford Do you know why Chicago is called the Windy City? Because there is so much wind from the hot air coming out of the politicians' mouths. The "Chicago Way" is not a cute cliché. It does exist and I should know since I was raised in the area. The Pigford case Andrew Breitbart was so passionate about is soaked in the "Chicago Way." What is the "Chicago Way" of politics? Literally buying votes. Voter fraud. Paying off people who can get you further in life. Taking advantage of those who do not have the resources to fight back. Discrimination. Lobbyists. Digging a hole so deep you cannot get out. It did start under the Clinton administration, but continued to get worse when President Obama, from Illinois (specifically Chicago) took office. Here is a prime example: The first deadline to receive payment was 1999, but some in Congress, including then-Senator Obama, pressured President Bush to handout the money to the late filers in 2007 even though the fraud was very obvious. Not so ironically the people who were set to profit off of Pigford told then-candidate Obama they would work on his behalf against Hillary Clinton in 2008 in the South. From the New York Times: Mr. [John W.] Boyd said Mr. Obama's support led him to throw the backing of his 109,000-member black farmers' association behind the Obama presidential primary campaign. Hilary Shelton, the N.A.A.C.P.'s chief lobbyist, said Mr. Obama's stance helped establish him as a defender of the concerns of rural African-American communities. Oh there are many more examples, but that is the one that stood out the most. President Obama did bring the "Chicago Way" to DC. Even though it was wrong, Obama went along with it in order to secure the White House.

Intrusion detection on steroids
Locking the cyber-doors has never been easy because as soon as one door is locked, intruders merely look for another vulnerability -- and the number of vulnerabilities seems to be endless. The Sourcefire 3D System seeks to lock all of those doors.
Time has shown that most malware or malicious software techniques are ephemeral. They are useful until the defenders close the doors on those tricks. Then the invaders must find a new means of attack.

[GUIDE]Scoits's Guide to Ashe - The Lengendary Frost Archer
Find it at below link!
Senior Member
Hm... a few comments:
1) Offensive mastery is very mediocre. I would suggest putting two more points in Sorcery instead, for slightly more Volley/ECA.
2) Why do you go 9 utility without any level 3 Utility skills? Put your 9th point into Utility Mastery for better use of the Golem/Lizard buffs.
3) Armor Pen quints do more damage output than Critdamage Quints, even with 100% crit rate.
4) Flat Mana regen runes are better on Ashe than scaling ones. You only really have mana issues early, lategame you have more innate mana regen plus easy access to Golem Buff.
Good guide overall.
It's the most detailed Ashe guide ever written, every noob Ashe should read it.

Lets you till deep, 6" wide furrows, perfect for tomato plants and corn. You get drought-resistant root growth and excellent yields from root crops.
Used as a pair, the two special tines dig deep planting beds for potato eyes, asparagus roots, onion sets, and flower bulbs. One tine used alone can break ground for corn, beans, peas, transplants, etc. Great for tilling in narrow areas. Saves time and energy in the garden! (Mantis tiller sold separately).

Some Bears players don't care where they'll play the Vikings on Monday night. But Mike Tice does.
Minneapolis is still home.
Tice, the Bears' offensive line coach who played for the Vikings and was their head coach from 2002 to '05, is looking forward to returning to Minneapolis, where the Bears are expected to play the Vikings at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium.
''Of course it means a lot to me,'' Tice said. ''I've got a lot of dear friends there that are still Vikings fans, still Mike Tice fans and still dear, dear friends.''
But anybody who knows Tice knows there's more to it than that. Tice was fired as the Vikings' head coach after the 2005 season. And when the Bears played the Vikings at Soldier Field on Nov. 14, he let his offensive linemen know that this wasn't just another game to him.
The Bears responded with their best offensive game since the season opener — 360 total yards, including 130 rushing in a 27-13 victory.
''We knew how much it meant to him,'' center Olin Kreutz said after that game. ''We definitely wanted to go out there and perform for him.''
A lot of people think Tice just loves to stick it to the Vikings.
''That's not true,'' he said. ''I played for the Vikings. I was rooting for the Vikings last week and was pissed that they lost to the Giants.''
So no hard feelings?
''No,'' he said. ''I had hard feelings early on because of the way [his firing] was handled. But I have no hard feelings.''
This time, Tice is downplaying the retribution angle. There will be no big speech for the offensive line this week.
''They knew that game meant a lot to me and took it upon themselves to give me — give us as a football team — every last thing they have,'' Tice said. ''[But] I don't think at this stage of the season when we have so much at stake, anybody standing up there giving a pep talk is going to make a difference.''
On the contrary, Tice doesn't want to overdo it.
''I'm going home,'' he said. ''I'm having dinner with my daughter and some friends — and trying not to get caught up in the moment personally. I told my guys today, 'I don't want to be a distraction' to them. That wouldn't be fair. They've worked too hard. We've come too far.''
Just how far the Bears' offensive line has come this season is a matter of debate. According to the New York Life Protection Index, the Bears' line ranked 32nd in the NFL. The Bears' running game is better than it was earlier in the season. But there seems to be a lot of room for improvement.
And Tice agrees.
Tice believes in his guys. He thinks they're better than people think. But he's not coaching with blinders on.
Tice said the offensive line ''made strides'' on Sunday, even though it didn't look like it in the 36-7 loss to the Patriots.
''I know. And that's exactly what we said in the staff meeting,'' Tice said. ''I said, 'You know coach, I hate to say this, but the guys played pretty good.' When you get your ass kicked like that, you usually make an assumption that the entire team played bad.
''But we've continued to get better at something each week, and that's all I've asked the guys to do. We're close in some areas to being pretty good. We have some areas we need a lot of work and some areas where we're solid.''
The best thing you can say for the Bears' offensive line right now is they have the continuity they were lacking earlier in the season. Left tackle Frank Omiyale, left guard Chris Williams, center Olin Kreutz, right guard Roberto Garza and rookie right tackle J'Marcus Webb have started the last six games. That's something to build on. And Tice isn't selling them as anything more than what they are — a group that still needs to get better each week ''and then we'll see . . . if we're going to be good enough to help us win,'' Tice said.
Asked if he was happy with the line relative to where it started, Tice was pretty realistic.
''I'm happy with the way they're working,'' Tice said. ''I'm happy with the lack of mental errors. I get frustrated sometimes with the amount of plays that were close to succeeding. And being one block away. We've just got to continue to get better.
''But still, if we continue to work, how much football do we have left, a month? Five weeks? Six weeks? Who knows? Because this is anybody's season as you well know. Especially in the conference we're in, the NFC.
''Obviously, New England is one of the special teams in the league. We've just got to get better to be one of the better teams in our conference.''

Updated: November 3, 2011 10:42AM
When the Mayor Rahm Emanuel Bike Path — formerly known as Kinzie Street — was billed as a "pilot" program, I figured that meant a trial run.
Certainly there would be traffic counts, on-the-street interviews and maybe even a survey of neighbors, workers and guys who drive BWMs to the mayor's workout spot, the East Bank Club.
Once that data were collected, the city would decide whether to configure other streets with wide bike lanes, a barrier of flexible plastic posts, parking spots and, finally, a narrow lane for automobiles, all over town.
So, I asked City Hall for their bike path data. Turned out, there wasn't much.
Crews did two traffic counts of bicycle and vehicular traffic between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. One count was taken on an overcast Tuesday in May with temperatures in the 60s before the path was installed. The other count was taken on a partly cloudy Wednesday in July when temperatures hit 82 by 8 a.m.
The results: Bicycle traffic increased 60 percent from May to July. And total traffic heading east on Kinzie from Milwaukee was 49 percent bikes and 51 percent drivers, according to the data.
City Transportation Commissioner Gabe Klein was giddy to talk about the paths. "Those numbers are the highest I've ever seen," he said. "And the feedback has been pretty unbelievable . . . Now, we're at an even mode split."
He's right, if we forget that several times a day you will not see a bicycle on the Mayor Emanuel Bike Path when the half-mile stretch is inexplicably crowded with cars on a skinny street that no longer has room for the Gaztro-Wagon, much to my foodie co-workers' dismay.
While we're at it, let's also forget that all the city data really say is that for two hours on a warm summer morning there were 60 percent more bicyclists on the road than on an overcast spring day. Let's also forget that the correct response to that is, "Well, duh."
The half-mile Kinzie path cost about $140,000. If that's the model for the next 99.5 miles of protected bike lanes, it could cost us — Chicago taxpayers — about $28 million. It's not that much cash when you consider the enormous size of the city budget. But how many street cops do you think a city struggling to stop shootings in certain parts of town could hire for $28 million? I'm no budget expert, but probably at least a couple.
So why the big push for ugly, congestion-causing bike lanes?
During a telephone chat, it was my goal to play devil's advocate with Klein, who is what transportation reporters call a "policy wonk."
It is a policy wonk's job to advocate for spending taxpayer cash on projects whether we want them or not. This is not always a bad thing. Sometimes, we need policy wonks. Chicago probably wouldn't have L trains if it had not been for someone's great, great grandfather — a City Hall policy wonk by trade.
Here are some highlights of our chat:
† The debate over the need for protected bike lanes is so two years ago. "Everyone" agrees we need them now. (No one asked me.)
† There are more college students in town during May than July and bicycle ridership on Kinzie still went up. (Don't know what that means? Me neither.)
† Bike paths will be plowed in the winter. (But will side streets get plowed?)
† "We have a safety problem in the city. An 8-year-old child should be able to walk around the city safely and that is not the case," Klein said, referring to the death of a boy struck by a car on 63rd Street. (Klein, who moved here from Washington, D.C., said he is not sure he has been on 63rd Street or if bike lanes would make it safer.)
Finally, though, Klein told me the real truth. Mayor Emanuel made a campaign pledge to install 100 miles of protected bike lanes.
"He's putting them in," Klein said. "The mayor says we're doing it."
So there you have it — an answer Chicagoans can understand.
One we've become very familiar with over the years.

For Immediate Release DHS Press Office Contact: 202-282-8010
Chief of the Border Patrol, Michael Fisher, releases Safe Tactics and Techniques directive
Today, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released their existing Use-of-Force policies - established in 2010 and 2004 respectively. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is also making the overarching Department policy, established in 2004, available. The policies can be found here. Additionally, today Chief of the Border Patrol Michael Fisher distributed a directive on the use of safe tactics and techniques with regard to use of force. That directive can be found here.
Below please find a statement from Secretary Jeh Johnson on today's release:
"Since I took office as Secretary of Homeland Security, I have been very interested in the issue of use-of-force by our agents and officers in the field. As I said earlier this year, transparency is essential to the credibility of a law enforcement agency within the communities it operates. This is why I am pleased that Customs and Border Protection, along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, are delivering on a commitment I made in January and today are publicly releasing their use-of-force policies. The Department is also publicly releasing, for the first time, the DHS-wide use-of-force policy. Additionally, I want to commend Chief Fisher on his directive on the use of safe tactics and techniques released today, which provides further guidance to the Border Patrol workforce to lessen the likelihood of deadly force situations as we meet our dual goals of ensuring the safety and security of our dedicated agents as well as the public that they serve. I also support and commend his commitment to continue to assess the need for operational adjustments, dictated by situations in the field."

Its a sad day when the Great Recession forces a killer band to pursue other options. According to the Garcia brothers of the Relative Strangers, this popular Orange County band are taking a break to find paying gigs and raise funds for their album. Craig Garcia (bassist) might be going on tour with Lucas Rossi, and Chris Garcia (drummer) might be sailing away on a cruise ship to play for sojourners sipping on daiquiris. Sadly, there wont be a farewell rooftop performance. There is, however, a slate of kick-ass rock shows every Monday at the Detroit Bar this month. And its time to step it up, OCshow up in droves for the Relative Strangers irresistibly catchy melodies and hard rock jams to remind this local band about Southern Californias passion for homegrown music.

There are 3 Kansas kids who are sitting by the TV tonight, ready to see their family. Those kids are siblings – very close siblings.
These 2 brothers and sister are each other's only family. They are more than ready to have a forever mom and dad to fill the gaps.
On the surface, they look like any other set of sibling. But they are missing one thing: a set of parents. On this day, when we brought James, 14, Jazzy, 12, and Jay, 10, to the zoo, it didn't matter. They were together.
After being in foster care and 7 different homes for 9 years, they are there for each other.
If you think you may have a loving home for James, Jazzy and Jay, call 1-877-457-5430 or visit the link provided.

The true source of abundance is the silent mind, for within its fertile quietude rests all potential, all power, and all promise.Guy Finley
You discover that your old I, along with everything you ever learned, is absolutely no use at all in the face of those new challenges, and you begin to realize that buried deep in your unconscious mind there is someone much more interesting and adventurous and more open to the world and to new experiences.Paulo Coelho
For the man sound in body and serene of mind there is no such thing as†bad weather; every sky has its beauty, and storms which whip the blood do but make it pulse more vigorously.George Gissing
Even those who wish to find happiness and overcome misery Will wander with no aim nor meaning If they do not comprehend the secret of the mind- The paramount significance of Dharma.Shantideva

Still the bubbling mind; herein lies freedom and bliss eternal.Swami Sivananda
Meditation is that exercise of the mind by which it recalls a known truth,--as some kinds of creatures do their food; to be ruminated upon.Thomas Hartwell Horne
The art of meditation may be exercised at all hours, and in all places; and men of genius, in their walks, at table, and amidst assemblies, turning the eye of the mind inwards, can form an artificial solitude; retired amidst a crowd, calm amidst distraction, and wise amidst folly.Isaac D'Israeli
Still your mind in me, still yourself in me, and without a doubt you shall be united with me, Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart.Bhagavad Gita
Regular meditation opens the avenues of intuitional knowledge, makes the mind calm and steady, awakens an ecstatic feeling, and brings the practitioner in contact with the source of his/her very beingSwami Sivananda
The problem with ideology is, if you've got an ideology, you've already got your mind made up. You know all the answers and that makes evidence irrelevant and arguments a waste of time. You tend to govern by assertion and attacks.William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton
Still your mind in me, still yourself in me, and without a doubt you shall be united with me, Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart.Bhagavad Gita
Happy the heart that keeps its twilight hour, And, in the depths of heavenly peace reclined, Loves to commune with thoughts of tender power,-- A shining Jacob's-ladder of the mind!Paul Hamilton Hayne
The child can become conscious only if in his past life he has meditated enough, has created enough meditative energy to fight with the darkness that death brings. One simply is lost in an oblivion and then suddenly finds a new womb and forgets completely about the old body. There is a discontinuity. This darkness, this unconsciousness creates the discontinuity. The East has been working hard to penetrate these barriers. And ten thousand years' work has not been in vain. Everybody can penetrate to the past life, or many past lives. But for that you have to go deeper into your meditation, for two reasons: unless you go deeper, you cannot find the door to another life; secondly, you have to be deeper in meditation because if you find the door of another life, a flood of events will come into the mind. It is hard enough even to carry one life....Osho
If one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements. And finally, there is an intense delight in abandoning faulty states of mind and in cultivating helpful ones in meditation.Dalai Lama
Every moment there is a possibility to be total. Whatsoever you are doing, be absorbed in it so utterly that the mind thinks nothing, is just there, is just a presence. And more and more totality will be coming. And the taste of totality will make you more and more capable of being total. And try to see when you are not total. Those are the moments which have to be dropped slowly, slowly. When you are not total, whenever you are in the head--thinking, brooding, calculating, cunning, clever--you are not total. Slowly, slowly slip out of those moments. It is just an old habit. Habits die hard. But they die certainly--if one persists, they die.Osho
