Cutthroat Kitchen Look-Back: Memorable Sabotages in Reviewby Maria Russo in Shows, September 12th, 2013
Once the competitors on Cutthroat Kitchen complete their brief 60 seconds of pantry shopping, they can't say for certain what will come next, blissfully unaware of the ingredient swaps, time freezes and utensil prohibitions with which they will be forced to comply when cooking. Host Alton Brown's deliciously mischievous competition is just four weeks into its premiere season, yet chefs have already experienced interferences like prepared pie crust in place of pizza dough, the inability to use salt in their taco dishes and the challenge of fashioning their only utensils out of aluminum foil.
Two of the seemingly most insurmountable sabotages, however, occurred in the first two weeks of the series, when Alton revealed French wine and blue cheese, which had to be featured in one chef's French toast preparation, and bright-green sour apple gummy candies, which were to be used in place of fresh apples when making a dish of pork chops and apple sauce. What happened next in both instances was a no-nonsense bidding war, with several contestants willing to go to great lengths — and exorbitant sums — to avoid cooking with these products themselves.
Want to see how the auctions unfolded? Click the play button on the video above to watch Alton dish out the French delicacies, then head over to the Cutthroat Kitchen headquarters to find out who was forced to work with the sour candies. Which sabotage has been your favorite so far, and how much would you have been willing to spend to avoid cooking with it?
Tune in to an all-new episode of Cutthroat Kitchen on Sunday, September 8 at 10pm/9c and check back afterward for the next installment of Alton's After-Show.

If Penny Davidi had won last night, I believe that it would have been the last time I ever watched this show. She was detestable during Next Food Network Star and she continued to be detestable last night. Please, FN, do NOT bring her on any other shows!
Didn't you LOVE it when she accidentally dumped her sauce? LOVED IT! Can't STAND her!
I am actually loving this show now. The only critique I would have is that I think the judging should be from a panel of 3 judges instead of just one. Somehow just one judge doesn't feel official.
I am still trying to figure out how some contestants get away with making something that is in no way related to the competition. How could Penny get away with what she put up for a taco? I think if you cannot make waht the challenge is suggesting, that should be an automatic elimination.
Once I saw the previews that Penny Davidi would be on the show, I decided not to watch CK anymore. I vowed never to watch a show with her on it, and I'm staying true to that vow.
What an awful show. This has nothing to do with a good cooking competition. This is a competition to see who is the meanest A**. I will not be watching it again.
Cutthroat Kitchen is a disgrace to the Food Network!!! And how could Alton Brown degrade and demean his
own intelligence and culinary skills? This show is neither informative, instructional or entertaining.
Some of the new shows are so competitive and mean-spirited. What has happened to the respect for good, fresh food treated and prepared with flavor and excellence? I fear that my favorite, the Food Network has lost it's way.
I absolutely love this show…… Shame on all these other comments. It's a tv show- lighten up! It's unique and entertaining.
AB & the Food Network should be embarrassed to air this show! I watched the first 2 episodes then no more. Agree with Dorothy AB should shave! This show has absolutely no redeeming qualities not entertaining or informative just a loser.
Really…. my kids love this show. We play our own version of cutthroat kitchen at home. It teaches them to think on their feet and come up with some creative ideas. We thoroughly enjoy this show and get new ideas.

by Carol Burnside (aka Annie Rayburn)
Initially, I was going to talk about Valentine's Day which is coming up this Thursday. When I mentioned this to Miss Maggie, she paused in mid-stream pour of my cup of tea and harrumphed. I'm not sure what that meant, but I forged on. In preparation for writing this romance post, I took two online quizzes which were supposed to determine whether or not I was romantic. Now, I know I am, but answered the questions honestly, even when I suspected they weren't on the highly romantic end of things. But during the process, I noticed a vast difference between the quizzes and it changed the slant of my post.
Then I took the Chatterbean quiz and was pronounced a 'Hopeless Romantic!' This quiz got a "There ya go." comment from Miss Maggie as she carried our teacups to the sink. The questions here were more about my habits. Do I kiss with my eyes closed? Fiction or non-fic? Love stories or comedy? There were questions about my feelings on PDA and whether I thought about my partner during the day. IMO, they were focusing more on my inner romantic nature rather than outer, schmaltzy behavior.
Perhaps it's my age, or the fact that I was raised by practical-minded, frugal women, but there are a lot of supposedly 'romantic' things I find frivolous and even consider them lazy clichés. Yes, I'd be somewhat disappointed if my hubby bought me a heart box of candy and a bouquet of flowers for Valentine's. That worked when I was 14, but now the candy would sabotage my diet. (I've lost 12 pounds, y'all!) The flowers? Eh, I could live with them as long as he didn't spend a small fortune. I'd rather have a nice evening out with him or a piece of jewelry that reminds me of the occasion.
Romance is me getting the oil changed and filling the gas tank before a trip because Hubby was out of town and it would be a mad rush for him to get those things done upon his return. It's remembering to keep a supply of his favorite diet pudding on hand, his favorite drink stocked or picking up his business mail while I'm in town so he doesn't have to stop at midnight after a long day of traveling. To me, those things say "I love you still, after more than three decades of marriage."
I'm betting our readers and my blog sisters have some definite opinions about what's romantic and not. Please share. Name three things you find romantic or tell me how you show your love in everyday ways.

LOS ANGELES — There's no room for the baby Jesus, the manger or the wise men this Christmas in a Santa Monica park following a judge's ruling Monday against churches that tried to keep a 60-year Nativity tradition alive after atheists stole the show with anti-God messages.
U.S. District Judge Audrey B. Collins rejected a motion from the Santa Monica Nativity Scenes Committee to allow the religious display this season while their lawsuit plays out against the city.

My little baby daughter, Ashlyn, passed away suddenly on March 25, 2011 at the age of 10 weeks 2 days. For her first birthday on January 12, 2012 I did do an angel baby cake. It was the most appropriate for me.

She probably doesn't know what to do so you have to ask her in a different way. Will there be children at this party or just adults. Will there be balloons (what color) and games for the kids or just a quiet gathering. Will she be decorating the house - with what and what colors. I love the cake that was shown in pink, very appropriate, classy, not over the top but cute none the less. I would go with something like that. Your poor heart will be heavy as you decorate it. I don't envy you :-(

I realize it has been quite a while since I posted about this cake, things have been busy around here and I haven't had a chance to get on. I wanted to update you all on what I ended up going with. I did a design on paper, in the design I avoided angels as suggested, and then sent my niece the picture so she could approve it. Simple, with a lot of beautiful flowers, and a number 1 on top. Upon seeing it, she told me she would like it to have an angel on the cake. So here is the cake that became our angel baby's first birthday cake.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, and send my sympathies to the mothers who have lost children of their own. I have two of my own children, and one on the way due in October, and when I think of what she is going through my heart aches so deeply. It was with a very heavy heart that I brought this cake to her. When I had the cake together, she just stared at it for what seemed like forever, and I knew that I did ok. Not many people came, even though she invited many, I think it is hard for people to understand her need to celebrate this day. I get it. It was a short party, mostly we hung around and talked, and afterwards they brought gifts to Peyton's grave(I was unable to attend this part, as I had to work.) I think that this was quite possibly the most important cake I've ever made. And the saddest. But I was happy with how it turned out.

10 things the Bartman game overshadowed
Steve Bartman is the gift that keeps on giving. Yes, that Steve Bartman. The scapegoat from the Cubs' 2003 playoff collapse. While images of Bartman getting his paws on a foul ball and Moises Alou throwing his glove in anger will forever be remembered from the 2003 season, there was a lot of other memorable stuff that happened on the North Side. RedEye looks at the best moments from the 2003 season that are often overlooked because of the Bartman incident.

The Sierra Club is for saving the environment. Sound good right? Wrong if you like to use public lands or waters. The Sierra Club wants to save the earth by keeping you on the pavement.
The Sierra Club pushes for stronger trail standards in the name of "environmental impact" which cost the land management agencies more money to keep the trails open.

In a child's life, the first three years are perhaps the most important. During this time a child develops traits in learning, attitude, and self esteem. Art can significantly contribute to a child's development. Art encourages a child to interact with his environment. It is through this interaction that learning takes place.
Somewhere between the ages of 18 months and 2 1/2 years, the average child will make his first mark on a piece of paper. Although it will look like "just a scribble", it is a milestone in his development. It is the first form of expression, his first permanent record, which will develop into drawing, painting, and eventually writing. It is very important that we as parents encourage scribbling. Our attitudes toward these early stages of expression can set the tone, encouraging avenues of communication later on.
The scribbling stage lasts until a child is four. At first, a child's marks are made at random. This phase is known as "disordered scribbling". These marks are about a child's sense of motion. That is why a toddler can look away while making his marks. After about 6 months of disordered scribbling, a child will find that there is a connection between his motions and the marks that he makes. This leads to the discovery that he has visual control over these marks. The marks become repeated in size and direction. This phase is known as "controlled scribbling". Around the age of 3 1/2, a child discovers a connection between the marks he has made and his environment. As a child begins to put a name to his marks, he has moved onto the next level, which is known as the "naming stage". Even though the scribbles may not have changed much, a child's way of thinking has. A child has moved from thinking in physical terms to thinking in imaginative terms. A child now views these scribbles as a method of communication.

The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee is the third book in the Origami Yoda Book Series.
With Dwight suspended, The Fortune Wookiee (wielded by Sara ) gives advice to the kids, such as Lance Alexander, and not be ashamed of his ballet classes, or asking Tommy to apologize to Harvey for blowing his nose on Harvey 's origami snowtrooper. Harvey does not believe in Chewie's Force powers and speculates that when he gives his ninth piece of advice, he (Harvey) can prove that the Fortune Wookiee is fake, as a cootie-catcher can only give eight fortunes. This plan was sucessful, and Harvey tried to take the Fortune Wookiee to further prove it fake. However, Sara and Rhondella were still holding on and it ripped. Tommy knew that something was up and interviewed Sara about it, when the truth of the Fortune Wookiee was revealed: Sara folded it AND Han Foldo , not Dwight! The true purpose of the Fortune Wookiee was to gently tell Kellen that Rhondella doesn't love him. Tommy kept the reason a secret but said in the case file that it was fake. Meanwhile, the McQuarrie kids keep seeing Dwight around, being really...normal! Ever since he went to Tippett Academy with Caroline, he has been becoming more of a normal person by the minute! In the end, though, Tommy gives Dwight The Dwight File, which is filled with doodles of everyone at McQuarrie , begging Dwight to come back. (also in the file is a note from Rabbski stating that Dwight can come back next semester.) Tommy also removes Origami Yoda from a picture frame that he was in, and uses it to convince Dwight, combined with giving him the mini-case file.
Finally, Dwight takes Origami Yoda again, and gives Tommy a hint of what is to come:
Afterward, Tommy goes to Sarah's house. They talk about Dwight and are really happy that he and Origami Yoda will be returning next semester. Tommy mentions the "War" advice and Sarah shows him a letter that Rabbski sent the parents that morning. The letter reveals that all of the fun classes will be replaced by extra study time. Sara makes the Fortune Wookiee say, "Wuuuuuuggggg!" and Tommy operates Han Foldo to say, "I've got a bad feeling about this..."
- An exclusive version of the book was sold at Barnes & Noble. This version came with free pre-printed paper to fold the Fortune Wookiee with.
- Although there are many origami characters in this book, the two main origami characters are Origami Chewbacca/Fortune Wookiee and Han Foldo.
- The first Origami Yoda book to contain a cliffhanger.
- At the end of the book, a drawing of Origami Yoda is seen saying "The end this is? Way no!" forshadowing The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett.

This week's blog hop is to post your favorite photos. I recently deleted a bunch from my computer, but here's some favorites that I have left.
My son, Logan, came out of his bedroom and flopped on the kitchen floor doing this. He is portraying a rat and his sign says "Do not smoke cigarettes. It is the same thing as rat poison." How's that for truth!
This photo was taken in April when my daughter competed in the local Outstanding Teen pageant. She is in her interview outfit. She placed second at the pageant.
They may not be blood, but they're sisters by marriage and by heart.
This is my nephew, Justin, chilling near the woods by my camper. He is getting married in September. My husband is best man and I am a bridesmaid.
This is my great-niece, Faythe. I love her big brown eyes and spunky attitude.
This is me and my son right before we left for vacation bible school. It was a western theme.

Take part in the Big Wild Sleepout and really discover what goes bump in the night at Geltsdale
Image: John Terence Turner / Alamy
For one night only, a 'sleepover' will be held at the Cumbrian site offering families the chance to camp at the reserve and take part in a variety of exciting activities.
The event, which will be held from Saturday 10 August to Sunday 11 August, is part of the RSPB's brand new Big Wild Sleepout, which aims to encourage people to spend a night in nature's home.
Stephen Westerberg, Site Manager at RSPB Geltsdale, said: "This is a great opportunity to take part in the Big Wild Sleepout and really discover what goes bump in the night at Geltsdale. Families will be able to enjoy activities, including an evening bat walk, and uncover the site's secret wildlife after dark. There will also be the chance to discover an amazing variety of moths in the morning.
"This is a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors and take part in a community event. People can cook their own meals on our barbeque grill and gather around to share stories, before settling down in their own tents for a good night's sleep in nature's home. Places are limited, so we encourage people to book as soon as possible to make sure they don't miss this rare chance to camp at Geltsdale."
The Geltsdale event is one of a number of Big Wild Sleepouts taking place across the UK from 9-11 August. Around the country, people will not only be sleeping in their tents, but in dens made from fallen branches, ropes and sheets, while 'Glampers' will be halfway between camping and comfort as they bring their mattresses outside.
Richard Bashford, the RSPB's Big Wild Sleepout organiser, said: "There's plenty of RSPB organised events taking place, but if you can't join one of these, then you can take part by sleeping out in your garden. Imagine if you settled down and heard an owl calling, a fox barking or peaked out of your tent and saw a bat feeding overhead. Or even, finally saw that elusive hedgehog that you've long suspected calls your garden home."
To make the most of a garden sleepout, there is a variety of fun activity ideas on the RSPB website, from building dens to torch light safaris. People can also ask their friends and family to sponsor a sleepout to help the RSPB to give nature a home.
In a bid to encourage even more people to sleep out, the RSPB has joined forces with Blacks, the outdoor retailer.
Ken Reeve, CEO of Blacks, says: "Blacks is extremely proud to be part of this tremendous initiative. We are wholly supportive of any campaign that encourages more people to engage with nature and we see the Big Wild Sleepout as an ideal platform to encourage families to experience the outdoors together."
The Big Wild Sleepout is part of the RSPB's new Giving Nature a Home campaign which is aimed at inspiring everyone to provide a place for wildlife wherever they live and however big their outside space is.
The event at Geltsdale will run from 3pm on Saturday 10 August until 11am on Sunday 11 August. The cost is £15 per adult and £10 per child. Participants are asked to bring their own tents and refreshments for Saturday evening, when a barbeque grill will be available. Bacon/vegetarian rolls and tea/coffee will be provided for breakfast on Sunday. Indoor toilet and shower facilities will be available.
To book for the Geltsdale Big Wild Sleepout, call Fariha Quraishi on 01524 581001 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Payment is advance is required.

I'd go linen every time - it's cooler and so hardy. xReplyDelete
I'd agree with Bron Maxabella. When I was researching into our sofa I wanted a pink (yes, pink) velvet one but I read somewhere that they weren't practical (how I hate that word) if you were continually wiping marks off. So I'd go with the linen. Don't they do a teal linen one? xxReplyDelete
Definitely linen as it's more durable. I am also about to upgrade as we have had our linen sofas for ten years! They are still perfect but as I get older I quite like the idea of relaxing on a corner sofa with recliners on the ends. Somehow I reckon the teens will get there first. Have a great week.ReplyDelete
Sounds great. I've always wanted to velvet sofa but when I mentioned it to a design savvy friend she screamed NOT VELVET! Darn it! Another plan thwarted. I've an old Habitat 3 seater and 2 seater which have been teenaged to death so I'm too thinking of buying. Looking forward to finding out how you get on. Elinor xReplyDelete
I am on a constant search for the perfect sofa. We have 3 kids, 2 dogs and lots of visitors so durability and washability are important but so is how it looks. I'd go linen, I am visualising ice cream on velvet, not good. Anyway, you'll make the right choice, I'm sure, happy shopping.ReplyDelete
Unforunately our brand new (gorgeous!) sofa won't fit in our new house. It makes me die a little inside. However, this means that we are on the hunt for a new one. So thank you very much for sharing this- DFS is quite literally my worst nightmare! xxReplyDelete
Velvet sounds amazing and a luxury that I can never have with 6 dogs!ReplyDelete

Fact Check: Small Businesses, Bigger Paychecks
Photo by Sam Hodgson
Todd Gloria
Statement: "The analysis that we have seen, the studies and research that we've seen, is that 80 percent of small businesses already pay better than the minimum wage," City Council President Todd Gloria said at a June 16 press conference.
Determination: Mostly True
Analysis: City Council President Todd Gloria and others pushing a minimum wage hike say they want to ensure fair wages for workers – not endanger small businesses.
At a June 16 press conference, Gloria emphasized that few small businesses will be forced to boost worker paychecks if the $11.50 minimum wage proposal passes. After all, he said, research shows 80 percent of them already pay their workers more than the minimum wage.
Small companies make up the bulk of San Diego businesses and employ the majority of private-sector workers here so we decided to pull back the curtain on Gloria's statement.
A spokeswoman said Gloria was referencing the results of a national survey released this spring by Small Business Majority, a national small business advocacy group.
The nonprofit, which has Democratic Party ties but bills itself as nonpartisan, paid two companies to survey 500 small business owners across the nation this February.
A Small Business Majority spokeswoman said the survey specifically targeted owners of companies that the outside consultants decided were representative of the small business population.
Among the questions asked was whether they paid any of their workers minimum wage.
Eighty-two percent said they paid all their employees more and 18 percent said they paid at least some minimum wage.
All the respondents own companies with 100 or fewer workers, one of a handful of differing definitions for small businesses:
The federal Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy generally considers companies that employ fewer than 500 staffers small firms for statistical purposes. The same agency's Office of Size Standards considers multiple variables for government contracting and other purposes.
Meanwhile, the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce's working definition of a small business is fewer than 50 employees. The city of San Diego's cutoff is even narrower: businesses with 12 or fewer workers.
The San Diego Workforce Partnership told me in 2012 it usually considers businesses "small" if they have 10 to 100 workers.
The federal government largely categorizes businesses with up to 500 workers small but census data released in 2011 shows just 1.7 percent of California companies the Small Business Administration would define as small businesses employed more than 99 staffers.
This means the Small Business Majority study included responses from at least most of the range of small business sizes in its survey.
San Diego's small business definition of 12 or fewer workers, however, is much narrower. The vast majority of survey respondents – at least 83 percent – have fewer than 12 workers but it's not clear which percentage of those companies pay above the minimum wage. The survey only concludes that 82 percent of all small business surveyed pay above that amount.
Then there's the issue of the industries represented in the survey.
Financial and recreation companies, for example, made up 11 percent and 9 percent of respondents in the Small Business Majority survey, but make up about 4 percent and 2 percent of small businesses with up to 99 workers, according to Census data.
Still, the Small Business Majority study incorporated a broad swath of industries, from restaurants to real estate, and it was the only study I could find that specifically addressed what percentage of small businesses of any size pay above the minimum wage.
Spokespeople for two other leading small business advocacy groups – the right-leaning National Federation of Independent Business and the nonpartisan National Small Business Association – said they weren't aware of similar research.
Molly Day of NSBA declined to comment on the Small Business Majority survey but said the vast majority of small businesses her group works with pay more than the required hourly wage.
Other studies show larger companies employ far more low-wage workers. A 2012 report by the labor-aligned National Employment Law Project highlighted the nation's 50 largest low-wage employers, a list that included Walmart, McDonalds and Target.
But Gloria's statement focused on small businesses. He claimed the research shows 80 percent of businesses already pay workers more than the minimum wage.
That's mostly true. Small Business Majority appears to be the only group that's specifically explored the percentage of small companies that pay more than minimum wage, and its survey indeed found 82 percent of a cross-section of small businesses pay their workers more.
There are few crucial nuances, though. For one, the statement is based on a national survey rather than one focused on San Diego or California. That survey focused on companies with up to 100 employees; the federal government uses a broader definition and the city of San Diego, where Gloria's proposed minimum wage hike would take effect, uses a much narrower one. Furthermore, the business owners who responded to the Small Business Majority survey may not exactly mirror the small business population as a whole.

As a contractor I pay more than minimum wage which is common in my industry.
We do so because we require a level of job site skill (safety) and the training required of those who work for us.
One exception is the kid who has never been on the job and requires training/babysitting. More than likely pay them cash at first to get around the increase.
So if I was included in the survey I would be skewing the data.
The survey should be focused on those small businesses that pay minimum wage not those of us that will not be directly affected.
Todd you are either clueless or blowing smoke here.
Or both
I am usually in complete agreement with Fact Check analysis, and I'm not sufficiently informed to express a firm opinion about the issue, the think-tank study or the Council President. However, I do note that Councilman Gloria specifically hedged his statement with phrases "the analysis we have seen" and "the studies and research we have seen." Therefore Mr. Gloria's statement should, strictly speaking, be rated True. The Mostly True rating leaves an impression that Mr. Gloria may be trying to distort information, however slightly. Maybe he is, but his statement, in the context that I read it, leaves no indication at all of that. Your analysis in the incomplete nature of study into this issue is, however, as thorough and useful as what I regularly expect from VOD.
Figures lie and liars figure.
If you open the survey you find that the minim. wage determination is on a single question ("Do you pay any of your employees the minimum wage." So if you pay a dime above, you answer no. Would have been FAR better to give a range ("Do you pay any of your employeess less than X") But that wouldn't have given them the answer they wanted.
Mr. Davis: You make a very interesting point which necessitates correction of the fact check finding to true. Mr. Gloria states, "The analysis that we have seen, the studies and research that we've seen, is that 80 percent of small businesses already pay better than the minimum wage." He apparently then pointed to a study that indeed indicates that, as being "the analysis we have seen." (Whether the study is accurate is another matter.) In that context, Mr. Gloria's statement is 100% true (unless fact check knows that they have seen others that have contrasting information, which seems unlikely since fact check is unaware of other studies of this nature).
Fact check here is evaluating the validity and perhaps applicability of the underlying study, which is indeed useful, but somewhat immaterial to the statement being fact checked.
I would also note, in this context, that the sub-headline on this piece on the VOSD website is incorrect. It states, "City Council President Todd Gloria claimed more than 80 percent of small businesses pay their workers above minimum wage." Not exactly. He noted that was the conclusion of a study he had reviewed.
If Gloria put his head in the oven and his foot in the freezer then on average the fact check would be true.
@Chris Brewster Hey! Score one for an SDSU education! I'll allow as how I hadn't noticed the sub-headline. Thanks for the prompt reply, especially on a weekend.

EAST GREENWICH—Barrington's Mary Coogan, Kelly Dolan and Madeline Soutter are three of the best girls lacrosse players in the state.
Tuesday at East Greenwich they showed why.
The Barrington trio combined for 10 goals as the Eagles went on to down the Avengers 17-7 Tuesday in a battle of Division I leaders.
"This team is the best team in the state, we knew that and they played like it," senior Marielle Kraft said. "They never let down no matter what the score is on the board and to have them be denying us the entire game was really difficult.
"We tried to fight through it, we got some points on the board, made a little bit of a run but at the end of the day they're a really talented team and we just couldn't get it done."
On a cold, damp evening the Eagles came out on fire and hung four goals on the scoreboard in the first three minutes of the game.
The Avengers finally scored with 17:44 remaining on a goal
from senior Roxanne Comito but Barrington had the answer with another string of four unanswered goals to take an 8-1 lead.
Junior Carolyn Cruise ended the Eagles' streak with a goal with 5:19 to play in the half but Barrington notched two more to take a 10-2 lead at the break.
The Avengers were far more competitive in the second half than they were in the first – only trailing the visitors by two goals for the second frame – but at that point the damage had been done.
"We haven't played a team that's as good as them yet," Comito said. "We've had tough matches just not this tough."
Comito finished the game with three goals for the Avengers, Cruise netted a pair and seniors Kraft and Julia Waicberg added one score apiece.
As it has been for the past few seasons, the matchup with Barrington is the litmus test for where the Avengers stand.
After being held to single-digit goals for the first time all season it is apparent that EG has a ways to go to get to that next level but the way it played in the second half offered some encouraging signs.
"It shows that we can step up," senior Gwen Luvara said. "As we work harder and when we meet them again we can step up and we can grow to be the team that will beat them."
East (4-2, 4-2 Division I-South) is currently in its most challenging stretch of games in its schedule with a trip to Cumberland Friday for a 6 p.m. start, followed by a 6:30 p.m. game at LaSalle Tuesday.
"The teams that we have coming on our schedule on this side of the bracket – which is Barrington, LaSalle, Bay View, Moses Brown and Cumberland – every single one of those teams is going to give us a run no matter what," Kraft said.
"We have to be able to prepare for these teams and we have to know that this is the kind of level we'll be seeing the next few weeks.
"We're not taking any team lightly at this point. Barrington's a great example. We can't afford to take any moment of any game lightly because if we do we'll never compete."

Over the past week or so, golf facilities throughout southern Florida have begun cultivating and "working" the turf through a series of maintenance practices. Bermudagrass and seashore paspalum produce an abundance of aboveground and belowground stems that can accumulate to produce thatch. Cultivation practices are necessary to reduce this stem layer, dilute thatch and improve overall turf quality and playability.
In Florida, cultivation practices generally take place from late spring through late summer, as warmer temperatures improve turf recovery. Each practice provides a slightly different benefit and several of them may take place at the same time to produce the desired effect. These include:
These practices are a bit messy and can temporarily produce unsightly playing surfaces, depending upon the intensity of each practice. Short-term inconvenience is certainly worth the long-term benefits that these practices provide.
