We just received these stepping stoned and I.must say that they are very attractive. They function well about 6 /8 ours of light per full charge. My only complaint is that they do not appear to be very watertight. So longevity might be a problem. As always Hayneedle's service was exceptional !

Connecticut Straw pollSubmitted by paintball6818 on Sat, 01/26/2008 - 15:16
I was disappointed in how the Connecticut GOP held their straw poll. They held it in Middlebury which is too far of a drive for me, but they assured everyone you could vote online as well.
"State Central is also planning on-line voting during the hours of the Straw Poll at their website, www.ctgop.org."
"Doors will open at 6 p.m. and supporters and surrogates will have ample time to campaign for their candidates. Each campaign will have 10 minutes to present their candidate before the balloting, which will begin at 8 p.m"
I checked the Website January 24th at 8pm. Then i signed in January 25th 6:15 to vote online and they had this message up:
"ONLINE BALLOTING CLOSES AT 6pm." which was not up on their website on January 21st or the day before on January 24th less than 24 hours before the poll. For the entire week before they said online voting would be DURING the hours of the straw poll. Anyway at least ill be voting for Dr. Paul in the Primary which is all that matters.

Update: Maine men arrested in NH on eel smuggling, assault charges
A bucket of baby eels confiscated by Fish and Game officers after two Maine men were arrested for allegedly poaching the eels. (Jason Schreiber/Union Leader)
Matthew Kinney, 29, of Bremen, and his brother, Justin, 35, of Mount Vernon, will face numerous charges after their run in with Fish and Game officers that led to a land and air search.
Fish and Game Lt. Michael Eastman said authorities received a tip early this morning that two men were catching baby American eels in the Hampton Falls River.
Eastman said two conservation officers responded to the area shortly before 5 a.m. and found that the brothers had a "substantial amount" of young eels less than six inches long.
When one of the officers attempted to arrest Matthew Kinney, Eastman said he assaulted the officer and then ran into the river and later fled into the woods with a handcuff on one of his wrists. Justin Kinney ran into the marsh grass and was arrested at the scene.
Several local police agencies, Fish and Game, State Police hunted Matthew Kinney with the help of dogs and a helicopter.
A State Police K-9 team eventually found a track leading from the area where he was last seen to the Hampton Falls Inn on Route 1. Eastman said authorities learned the brothers had rented a room at the hotel Thursday night.
Eastman said "dipping" for the young eels, known as elvers, is legal in Maine, but not in New Hampshire. He said Maine and South Carolina are the only states where it's allowed on the East Coast.
"They were pretty much down here to poach elvers to take back to Maine to sell," Eastman said.
The baby eels can fetch an estimated $2,000 a pound overseas, particularly in the Asian market, Eastman said.
Eastman did not identify the conservation officer who was assaulted, but he said the officer wasn't injured.
Matthew Kinney will be charged with two counts of simple assault, disobeying a conservation officer, resisting arrest, taking American eels less than 6 inches long, and taking without a harvest permit.
Justin Kinney will faces charges of disobeying a conservation officer, providing false information to law enforcement, hindering apprehension, taking American eels less than 6 inches long and taking without a harvest permit.
The two are being held on cash bail and will be arraigned Monday if they're unable to post bail, Eastman said.

are fizz and wukong viable junglers? I've tried out both of them in custom matches and ran through the jungle unscathed. the only real thing wrong that i see with either of them as a jungler is that besides their ult, they have no real form of cc. I think that a jungle heimerdinger would also do well. Does anybody else have any random champs they'd like to try to jungle with?
Riot Ambassador
Riot Games Ambassador
With the implementation of the new masteries quite a few people have become viable in the jungle. Good presence coming out of the jungle is something that helps. Heimer can do this since he has grenade stun and has good range, but I'd rather have a Fizz or Wukong there on the constant attack and slowing with red.
Personally, I think jungle Vayne is fun, but the ganks can be difficult with no real CC.
okay, first, hellyea! first time i've gotten red love! <3 Second, vayne is definately one I hadnt considered yet, because of the cc problem. I tried jungle tf a few times, but i dont think tf is the champ for me. QQ But I really wanted to try the KONG out in the jungle. tytyty, RA!
with the new jungle anyone can jungle, ANYONE
Fizz is a cool jungler because his passive makes him take less damage. I haven't tried Wukong, but he probably has bad sustain but great ganks.
Wukong is a really fun jungler. If you run into a team that bothers to counter jungle it can be dangerous because Wukong is fairly squishy and lacks sustain, but Wukong's ganks are hilariously strong.
Decoy, stealth up behind the target, Nimbus Strike, Crushing Blow, Cyclone, dead.
I've jungled Janna.
Doctor Tam
Fizz at release was played as an onhit jungler. His damage is high and he can easily get into range.

If you're gonna jungle something "unconventional" make sure you practice it and get it down to a T before playing any ranked games. Usually some junglers are unconventional in the first place b/c they have slower clear times or less effective ganks.
I did see a really good urgot jungle at around 1500 elo.. that was pretty beast.

Hey guys, any updated plans for this September? Maybe we'll be down to the high 80s by then!
I've got my boom sitting in my house doing some DIY repairs. The front boom sheaves fell off their shaft last Sunday, causing me to lose my reef, outhaul, and topping lift all at the same time. I was in a hurry to get it fixed, but this weather has me taking my time.
But I'm looking to better days ahead, and hopefully our first cruise with you guys in September.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Boston's Zdeno Chara, Chicago's Duncan Keith and Nashville's Shea Weber are the finalists for the Norris Trophy.
The award is given annually to the NHL's best defenceman.
Chara, who won the award in 2009, is a finalist for the sixth time.
The Bruins captain had 17 goals and a plus-25 rating this past season.
Keith finished first among defencemen in assists with 55 and second in points with 61. He won the Norris in 2010, the only other time he was a finalist.
Weber, the captain of the Predators, had 33 assists and led all blue-liners with 23 goals. He was a finalist in 2011 and 2012 but has never won the award before.

Castro, the first author of the article, says: "These data turn the BRCA2 gene into the first genetic factor for prostate cancer prognosis", to which she adds: "The results of this study suggest the need for a paradigm shift in the clinical management of patients with prostate cancer who are carriers of mutations in the BRCA genes; current treatment standards for these patients appear to be insufficient and there are no specific action guidelines".
"Now that we have managed to identify patients with potentially lethal disease, our next challenge is to explore the most adequate treatments with the least side effects that have a real impact on survival", says Olmos.
Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in men worldwide, although in developed countries it is the most frequently found tumour.
This is the case in Spain, where more than 25,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, making it the third cause of cancer-related deaths in men.
Over the past few decades, an increase in cases has been observed due, above all, to longer life expectancies and the widespread use of the PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) screening test in the general population. Fortunately, a decrease in mortality for this disease has also been observed, due to the majority of diagnoses being carried out at an early stage and due to improved treatments.
Even so, there are still cases in which the disease is fatal and efforts as well as resources are being dedicated to identifying those patients with the worst prognosis and to establishing the most appropriate therapeutic strategies.

i_luv_chocolate's Note:
I tried this delicious cake just recently when a fellow co-worker brought it to a potluck we were having at work. Everyone raved over it and I made it at home to try it, using my favorite fruits and chopped pecans. I lightened the recipe using lite ingredients when I could, so this is the lightened version. * Note: You can use any kinds of fruit you happen to have on hand and any nuts of your choice (optional). ***FYI: Zaar doesn't want to seem to display the amt of strawberries but the recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups diced strawberries.
My Private Note
Serves: 16-24

- 1 (16 ounce) container Cool Whip Lite
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (for topping, and or layering in cake) (optional)

Ryan Murphy to One Million Moms: Boycott This!
He says the conservative group would love the show if they watched.

Skip to content, or skip to search.
He says the conservative group would love the show if they watched.
The conservative group does not like the idea of NBC's new show one bit.
"We didn't expect it to go unnoticed at all."
The company's newest advertisement features "real-life dads Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children, Claire and Mason." For shame!
The retailer's "consumer perception" spiked after One Million Moms attacked them.
Plus, Lana Del Rey covers S Moda.
"The content is offensive and inappropriate for a teen."
Yes, Howard, things are NUTS.
They've started an online petition to support Ellen DeGeneres.
Because she's gay.

A hot day in Charleston
... street where there are antique shops, galleries and the expensive clothes stores. Found a Chicos but unfortunately the Jean capris were too big By 3:00 Inez was getting tired so we walked home past a school getting out....I think it's a private one and all the parents were picking up the kids. Now we are sitting on the little patio enjoying a beer while Inez is resting. It's a pretty little patio with a fountain and the park ...
First full day at sea
... to read and write, boys went their way and John spent time in the library. One more session in the gym. I did an hour of cardio and weights which was really good. Not too many people now either. Dinner was a formal affair and we had special bookings in the Canaletto, an Italian restaurant attached to le Cirque. Very fancy food and delicious. Same wonderful silver service and same slow pace. Really, really good. We had antipasto, I had a sea food bisque ...

Have lost track of days.....
I missed a couple of days posting, largely due to complete and utter exhaustion from swimming, biking and playing games. Kids appear to have no off switch at the beach. The only good part is that we're all still mostly on pacific time, so Neve sleeps until 9 am, which is a luxury I've never experienced at home. We spent the better part of a day in Nashville before getting on the road again, and we had a great time being tourists on broadway, seeing the honkey tonks ...
While the drive from Orlando to Charleston was 6 1/2 hours, it was actually very comfortable as the drive was mainly along I-95 with little traffic. A very similar drive to LA to San Fran. I stopped twice, once in Georgia to get gas and some peaches, peach bread, blueberries and some pecans at a side street stall. Along I-95, there were many signs to exit the interstate to purchase Pecans and Peaches, Georgia's main produce. Peach season ...

Review: Marked by P.C. and Kristin Cast
Title: Marked (A House of Night Novel)
Author: P.C. and Kristin Cast
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Young Adult
Publisher: Atom (15th January 2009)
Source: Local library/Own copy
So the bad news was that I'd have to move into the House of Night, a private boarding scholl, known by all my friends as the vampyre finishing school, where I would spend the next four years going through bizarre and unnamable physical changes, as well as a told and permanent life shake-up. And that's only if the whole process didn't kill me.
But the good news was that I wouldn't have to take the geometry test tomorrow.
When sixteen-year-old Zoey is marked by the Tracker, she knows her old life is over. Now she has to leave her friends and family to join the House of Night school, where there's only one subject Zoey needs to study: Vampyre 101.
Of course, there's always a catch, and this one's nice and simple: if you fail, you die . . .
Rating: **** (4 stars)
Marked is the first book in P.C. and Kristin Cast's House of Night series. As the book's blurb suggests, Zoey gets sent to a school to learn how to be a vampyre. So the story is half high-school story, half vampyre story.
I have to admit that I approached reading this book with a healthy caution. I'd seen it in bookstores and read about it on the internet, and I can't say I was particularly impressed. However, when I went into my local library recently I saw it on the shelf and decided to pick it up. I was pleasantly surprised. From the very beginning I found myself engrossed in the book, and before I knew it I'd almost finished.
I like Zoey as a character. She is fundamentally nice. As the narrator I enjoyed her wit, and her little asides were brilliant. I also liked the liberal dose of pop culture references, that you'd only really understand if you lived now. In some ways she's a little bit clichéd, but I don't really think that detracts from her or the book.
I only had one minor issue with the book, and that was that when I reached the end I found myself wondering where the rest of the book had gone. The Casts set up some really interesting bits of plot, but not all of them are resolved by the end of the book. Whilst this has only encouraged my desire to read the next book in the series, Betrayed, I can't help but feel that it's a mark against the series. You see, I like the books in series I read so stand on their own – there may be an overall arc to the series, but each book in it has its own definite plot.
I can't write this review and not mention the secondary characters and the villain of the piece. The secondary characters really came alive for me, and felt like individuals for me. I also like how the bad guys were handled. There was a real sense of a dividing line in the House of Night, with the characters on one side of the other.
This book was a real surprise for me; so I recommend that you give this book a go even if you've only heard bad things, as you might be pleasantly surprised (like me).

I was thinking about this series for my book-hungry pre-teen daughter.
March 2, 2012 at 9:35 pm
I've just finished the fifth book in the series, and I think it might be better to wait until she's in her teens. The series actually warns that it's "not suitable for younger readers" and I agree because there's sexual activity and violence.
March 3, 2012 at 11:31 am
Thanks. Is it worse than The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead? In case you haven't read them it deals with self harming, violence and a student that has sex with her teacher. Sounds quite shocking when you put it like that!
March 3, 2012 at 4:49 pm
I've not read The Vampire Academy (it's on my to read pile) but it sounds about on a par.

Halloween Carnival at St. John's Shelter
— Click on thumbnails above to enlarge. —
Most of these kids never experience a carnival … but they now have something to talk about — a Halloween carnival with games, face painting, bounce houses, and entertainment. It was a delightful afternoon for all with plenty of smiles and fun. They decorated pumpkins, were captivated by the magician, donned masterpieces from the balloon artist and enjoyed cupcakes and goody bags. The children were extremely appreciative and we felt privileged to give them a happy memory.
Coat Drive at St. John's Shelter

Chilly weather makes anyone want to bundle up in a nice, warm coat. Imagine what it would be like if you didn't have one. Many of the women and children at St. John's left dangerous situations with just the clothes on their backs. Our staff organized a coat drive to benefit the shelter. Seeing the appreciation in the eyes of the women reminded us why we get involved.

A fast-moving fire that sent smoke and flames pouring from the roof and windows of a brownstone killed two firefighters on Wednesday and injured at least five others.
The deadly fire snarled traffic in Boston's densely populated Back Bay neighborhood. Boston EMS spokesman Nick Martin said 18 people, all police officers or firefighters, were taken to hospitals. Fire department spokesman Steve MacDonald said there were no reports of brownstone residents missing and it appeared everyone who was inside at the time had escaped.
City Councilor Josh Zakim, who represents the area, confirmed the two firefighters' deaths. He said nine units in the four-story building were affected.
"On this tragic day, our thoughts and prayers are with the brave men and women who fought this fire," Zakim said.
Major thoroughfare Storrow Drive was shut down for a time, and people were being asked to stay out of the area. The mayor's office designated the nearby Boston Public Library as a center for people displaced or otherwise affected by the fire to get help.
An assistant district attorney was sent to the scene, standard procedure in cases in which there are serious or potentially life-threatening injuries or deaths, said Jake Wark, a spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Dan Conley. There was no immediate word on the cause of the fire, which was still burning several hours later.
Despite strong winds and cold temperatures, people gathered to watch firefighters work from outside the building.
"The smoke was unbelievable," said Kayla Dasilva, who lives a few blocks away and went with her roommate to see what was happening.
Anna Kosmidou, who lives in the apartment building next to the one that caught fire, said she and other residents were told they could not stay there Wednesday night.
"I'm very, very afraid. I'm still in shock," she said. "They called me at work, and then I ran over here."
The last Boston firefighter killed on duty died in 2009, when the fire truck in which he was riding struck a building after its brakes failed. Two firefighters died in 2007 battling a restaurant fire in the West Roxbury neighborhood.

For your great job in restoring the economy. The increase in spending from 19% of GDP to 24% of GDP in 2 short years. The increase in our debt by $4T in your short term so far.The unwillingness of your party and administration to think of nothing other than to raise taxes without controlling spending. This is not the conservative's fault, it lies firmly in the hands of those in charge of the Executive Branch and the House. You control 2 out of 3 branches of government and still want to blame someone else for your failings. Of course, the Lemmings such as GJ will follow you right over the cliff. You and your dimwitted VP have been a disgrace and a failure. You have no plan and unrealistic expectations for controlling a budget in the future when you have mandated a health plan that will add another $10T in Federal debt over the next 10 years.You have disgraced Americans with your remarks to the Mexican President, degrading Americans. You have shown a preference to elevate foreign nations and illegals over the rights of your own citizens.And now you are presiding over the worst economic policies in US history.
"The Mrs. is a pretty bad one too. Talk about immature."-------------------------------GJ, that hurt... The "X" is in California & I'm in South Jersey. Wolfie is in Chicago.Your not getting anything right including the DOPE in the White House.
Finally starting to build our house.Made lots of money on the deepwater oil drillers. Glad I sold ASEI before the big plunge. Still haven't bought back in yet.It's nice in Iowa. Except for the Republican crazy off. I can't believe how they deliberately try to out crazy each other.Otherwise it's been a great summer; nice and hot with plenty of skinny dipping in the pond.The insurance industry is doing well for me. They have plenty of large databases that need mining and analysis. And I wouldn't mind if tax rates on capital gains are the same as what I pay to work. Seems fair and would be a step towars balancing the federal budget.Oh well. The crazy off continues....I don't see your Wolftxxx posts because that personality is so annoying. Had to put that one on ignore.The Mrs. is a pretty bad one too. Talk about immature. You can do better than that.Take care Spin.
Sir, do not make fun of people with multiple-personality disorder. I, George Washington, say so...
Hi GJ,I see corn is still coming out of your ears.....How's the summer going in Iowa? Warm days, hotter nights? How's your favorite sheep Linda doing these days?It's been warm out here on the west coast. Suppose to be 78 degrees this weekend. Of course, it cools down at night. Does it stay warm after dark out there in Iowa? You getting ready for winter?Stay away from some of the posters on this board as they are using multiple id's and are carrying on conversations with themselves. Wolftxxx is suspect in my opinion........
"Unemployment decreased in the first year of Obama's Presidency? You really should stay away from the listening to MSNBC and Chris Matthews, Move-On and the Huffington Post. Go to any source and look at the unemployment numbers from 2008 - 2010."Please try to understand the difference between unemployment and the rate of job loss. Then we can talk. Your response clearly shows that you don't understand the difference which means you are still ignorant.That graph says it all. The rate of job loss was steadily increasing under Bush. Then peaked and started decreasing under Obama.
I still hear the crickets.... No answer, as I thought.Unemployment decreased in the first year of Obama's Presidency? You really should stay away from the listening to MSNBC and Chris Matthews, Move-On and the Huffington Post. Go to any source and look at the unemployment numbers from 2008 - 2010.And you use the 'SierraVoice' and Nancy Pelosi as your unbiased source? You truly have been brainwashed. Now that is truly laughable. To try and spin an nemployment rate of 8% and less and then increasing to 9% and worse under Obama's first year as an improvement. Perhaps, the botox treatments have made her senile? The government funded botox treatments that is.http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/learn-how-to-invest/The-real-unemployment-rate.aspxReal unemployment has risen substantially under Obama and not just reported unemployment, which has substantially increased as well.Clarification. As of March 2011, the Obama administration had reissued 4 permits for deep sea drilling and one new permit. From a decrease of over a 100 a year prior to 2010. Since then, the rate of approval has been agonizingly slow.While drilling is limited almost entirely to pre approved wells and limited at that. And as of July 2011:That ban on drilling was lifted in October. However, new rules said no deepwater drilling could begin until companies could contain oil spills on the ocean floor, and those capabilities weren't available until February. Since then, the federal bureau has issued permits to allow drilling to begin or restart at 20 wells in more than 500 feet of water. As of Friday, drilling was ongoing as 12 of those wells, said BOEMRE spokeswoman Eileen Angelico. Resulting in the forfeiture of potentially 230,000 jobs, plus the jobs that would be created as derivatives.http://blog.al.com/press-register-business/2011/07/report_says_faster_offshore_dr.htmlhttp://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2011/03/23/the-obama-administration-is-slowly-reissuing-offshore-drilling-permits/But, then again we have a VP, that makes remarks such as:Biden, Aug. 19: And I'm anxious to talk to you about both our economies and how we can work together. But I point out U.S. treasuries, we're going to — we're going to take care of very closely not merely because China owns 8 percent of them, but because the Americans own 85 percent.Or, a President who states:Obama, Aug. 15: And in most countries that are doing well right now educationally, their teachers are revered. They get paid on par with doctors and engineers, because there is an understanding that this is a critical profession for the future of the nation.Or"Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn english - they'll learn english - you need to make sure YOUR child can speak Spanish, you should be thinking about how can your child become bilingual."
http://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2011/08/23/transocean-digging-the-deepwater-drills-stock-to-77/?partner=yahootixOops. Seems that someone disagrees with your assessment that no drilling permits have been issued in the Gulf.And I love how you posted about Obama loaning Brazil 2 billion so they could drill for oil. That has been debunked long ago, but you still post it. That only shows how brainwashed you've become.
We relected Bush in 2004, but I don't blame Bush. I blame the idiot Republicans (many who now call themselves the tea party and desparately voice their disapproval of record deficits and big government spending) who re-elected him after it was shown that he presided over record deficits and big government (non-defense even) spending increases.Sorry hypocrite Republicans. You are to blame for our decline. You turned a budget surplus into record deficits. F you.
Obama was elected because John McCain chose Sarah Palin as a running mate. When people saw what a nightmare she was, they realized they better go with the common sense guy.McCain also was a true flip-flopper. He didn't earn the nickname "Maverick" because he suscribed to every single Republican talking point. At one point he too paid attention to realism. But for 2008, he had to give up all his common sense ideas and go far to the right. That showed his complete hypocrisy and most centrist types don't go for that.One of the earlier posters said that "where is Reagan when we need him". My point is that he is right there in front of you. Reagan raised taxes because he realized he had cut taxes too far and that kind of deficit spending was not sustainable. If the Republicans of today could realize this, we would have had this silly debt ceiling debate finished long ago, avoided a downgrade (which is stupid anyway), and actually started doing something to decrease the deficit (something the tea baggers are saying they want to do, but their every move causes the opposite).
Ahhh, once again the facts do not lign up with your propaganda. You might want to take a look at the following chart which shows the rate of job loss comparing Bush's last year in office against Obama's first year in office. Ouch!I'm not going to bother with the rest of your lies. I've seen them all in nearly every right wing blog or online posting and they are all false.http://sierravoices.com/2010/02/job-losses-under-bush-and-obama-compared/

Try some of the best recipes from the stars of The Restaurant Man...
Roasted butternut squash and goats cheese quiche
Makes 7 10cm x 10cm square quiches.
Uses 10cm x 10cm x 4cm square mould
For the pastry:..
- 400g plain flour
- 100g wholemeal flour
- 1 egg yolk
- 1tsp salt
- 250g unsalted butter
- Approx. 200ml of water
For the custard:
- 8 eggs
- 500ml double cream
- 500ml semi-skimmed milk
- 1tsp salt

- Good grating of nutmeg
For the filling:
- 350g good cheddar
- 14 cherry tomatoes
- 700g butternut squash
- 350g goats cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
- Dried oregano
- Dried thyme
- Chopped spring onions/caremelised onion (optional)
Pastry (using a Magimix/mixer)
- Pulse flours and salt together for a few seconds
- Add chilled butter chopped into small cubes
- Pulse until a breadcrumb texture is reached
- Add egg yolk and pulse again for a few seconds
- Add chilled water at a steady rate until the mixture comes together in a rough ball.
- With floured hands bring pastry to a rough ball and chill in fridge to ease rolling.
- Tear off approx. 140g of pastry and roll to approx. 3mm thick rough square.
- Fold pastry from edges to middle on all side of square
- Place in mould and fold edges out and over edges of mould.
- Take care not to break corners or edges as it need to hold a loose custard – patch any holes up.
- Blind bake at 180 degrees c for 25mins.
- When the cases are cool you can trim off the excess pastry edges with a sharp knife.
To fill cases:
- Cut the butternut squash into 2cm cubes, season with salt and pepper and oregano, drizzle with olive oil and bake on a baking sheet at 180 degrees c for 25 minutes or until the edges start to caramelise.
- Sprinkle 50g cheddar into each pastry case so that the bases are evenly covered.
- Place 100g roasted butternut squash into the centre of each case, making a mini mountain so that the butternut squash sits slightly higher than the pastry.
- Place half a cherry tomato in each corner.
- Cut the goats cheese into 4 cubes and place in the gaps between the tomatoes.
- You can also add either finely sliced spring onion or some caramelised onion on the top.
- Mix together all the custard ingredients to make the custard.
- Pour the custard over the filling slowly so that all the cracks are filled. Fill again until the custard is almost level with the top of the pastry.
- Place a sprig or two of thyme on the top and then bake, still in the square moulds, for 40 minutes at 170 degrees c or until the custard is set.
- Use a skewer to check that the quiches are cooked in the centre. If the skewer comes out clean, the quiches are cooked.
- Garnish with some chopped chives and serve warm with celeriac and apple remoulade.
Celeriac and apple remoulade:
- 250g grated celeriac
- 250g grated Empire (or any red apple) - leave the skins on
- 2 tbsp of mayo
- 1tsp Dijon mustard
- Squeeze of lemon
- Salt and pepper
Combine all the ingredients together until you get a coleslaw-like consistency.
Il Padrino's Nana's Special Sauce
Serves 4-6 people depending on how much you like on your pasta!
- 3 x 400g tins quality Italian tomatoes
- 1 x small pack fresh ripe tomatoes - plum, cherry, or what you have to hand
- 5-6 cloves of crushed fresh garlic (I like to use lots)
- 5-6 fresh leaves of basil
- Olive oil
- Salt
This sauce can be used not just on pasta but on pizza or rice. You can also eat it with fresh crusty bread - delicious!
Blend the tomatoes thoroughly. You can remove the skins first but if you blend them properly you won't need to. Why waste any of their goodness - and it's also time consuming!
Put in a large saucepan, (avoid aluminium pans when cooking with tomatoes).
Add the crushed garlic, salt and olive oil.
Cover the pan and cook on a high heat for no longer than 15 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent it burning.
Add the basil leaves 5 mins before the end of cooking so they keep their flavour, or if the sauce is to sit for a while you can add them at the end.
The Salt Bar's Chickpea Meatballs
Makes 20 balls (vegetarian and gluten free)
- 2 x 400g tinned chick peas rinsed
- 25g chopped fresh spinach
- 50g parmesan cheese (or vegetarian alternative) grated
- 2 large cloves of garlic chopped
- 2 eggs
- 100g polenta
- salt/pepper
Crush the chickpeas by hand, and not too much as you don't want them to be pureed.
Add the spinach, cheese, garlic, 1 beaten egg, 25g of polenta, and salt and pepper to taste.
Make 20 balls from the mix. They will puff up when cooked.
Roll each ball in beaten egg and then polenta.
Chill in the fridge until ready to cook.
Deep fry at 190C for about 3 minutes.

Some Catholics in Louisville forgiving of Pitino
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Rick Pitino's personal failings should be forgiven and he should remain as head basketball coach at the University of Louisville, some Catholics in Kentucky said Sunday.
Some anti-abortion groups have called for the state-supported, public university to fire Pitino because a woman with whom he admitted having extramarital sex had an abortion soon after.
But some attending Mass said the high-profile coach, who is Roman Catholic, should be given another chance.
Pitino's moral shortcomings are between the coach and God, despite the Catholic church's opposition to abortion, said a member of a Louisville church that Pitino has attended.
"I still think he's a great man, he just put himself in a bad position and it's a terrible blemish on his character," said Arnold Brown, who attended an early Mass at St. Frances of Rome.
Brown, 69, said he is a University of Kentucky fan but he "loves Rick Pitino," who coached Kentucky in the 1990s, leading the Wildcats to the national championship in 1996.
"I think he's led a good life and been very charitable and kind," Brown said.
St. Frances pastor B.J. Breen said Pitino "drops in" from time to time.
The 56-year-old Pitino has admitted to police that he had sex in 2003 with Karen Cunagin Sypher, who was indicted in May on charges of lying to the FBI and attempting to extort up to $10 million from the coach. The 49-year-old has pleaded not guilty in that federal case.
In police documents which became public last week, Pitino acknowledged giving Sypher $3,000 after she said she was pregnant and was getting an abortion, but didn't have health insurance. Pitino's lawyer, Steve Pence, has insisted the money was for insurance and Pitino never paid for an abortion.
Pence has called Sypher's decision "solely hers," while she has claimed that it was not.
Pitino apologized publicly last week for the "indiscretion six years ago."
Meanwhile a student group called for the university to fire Pitino due to a morality clause in his contract that states the coach can be terminated for "acts of moral depravity."
Abortion should count as a morally depraved act, said Matt Foushee, who founded the group Louisville Cardinals for Life.
"The real root of this issue is that we have someone who would've been a 6-year-old boy or girl right now, who is dead," Foushee said. "And the tragedy is that it is not being seen as a problem. (Pitino is) being seen as the victim."
Martin Cothran, who works for the Family Foundation of Kentucky, an anti-abortion lobbying group, also called for Pitino's firing in his personal online blog last week.
A few Catholics were more forgiving.
"Everyone has problems in their life," said Brian Esser, a 24-year-old law student at Louisville who attended the Cathedral of the Assumption on Sunday. "I can't judge him."
Cecilia H. Price, a spokeswoman for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Louisville, said in a statement that the "church's teaching and pastoral outreach are clear, but we do not think it is appropriate to comment on individuals or individual circumstances."

diamond manufacturers
The ultimate signature of romance and luxury: diamonds. Diamonds are one stone that has been sought after in all times and places. The mining of diamonds continues to take place in during the times of economic recession, thus the rightful conjecture, 'diamonds are forever'.
There are 38 known diamond mines in the world of which the biggest and the most lucrative ones are owned and operated by the big fishes of the diamond world. The companies in the business mining diamonds are the ones that specialize in diamonds. The diamonds that have mined are further sorted and categorized. The diamond manufacturers have their own sorting plants with their respective categorizing standards. These diamonds are then polished, cut and sold or used for jewellery.
For over more than a century, the monopoly of mining and selling the diamonds was in the hands of De Beers, founded in 1888 by British businessman Cecil Rhodes. They were the ones determining the diamond prices as the control of world's diamond supply laid at their disposal. It was not until 2000 when the manufacturers from Australia, Canada and Russia made an endeavour to sell the diamonds directly rather than using De beers as a middle man. It was action that put the monopoly of De Beers in the past.
This new wave in the realm of diamond industry has given a leeway for the diamond manufacturers to be independent of the heavy influence of De Beers and consequently become major players in the diamond business.
Although there now exist a multitude of companies that deal with diamond production but De Beers is still amongst the top five companies in diamond manufacturing. The other major companies include the names of ALROSA, known to be the Russian rival to the De Beers, Rio Tinto Diamonds, Debswana Diamond Company Ltd., and Dominion Diamond Corporation.

Officials continue investigation of deadly Keene accident
Douglas Farr Jr., 32, had been driving a 2011 Hyundai south on Route 12 with his passenger Erin Breault, 35, police said Friday.
Autopsies of the crash victims were performed Saturday.
The preliminary investigation suggests the Hyundai crossed the center line into the path of a northbound JP Noonan Transportation tractor-trailer unit driven by Jeffrey J. Cloran, 54, of Becket, Mass.
On Monday Keene police Lt. Steven Tenney said Cloran got out of the cab of the tractor-trailer immediately after impact.
Cloran was taken by ambulance to Cheshire Medical Center and was later released with minor injuries.
Police continue to investigate the cause of the crash; factors such as speed and alcohol have yet to be ruled out, said Tenney.
Farr had been involved in a fatal shooting in a remote area of Chesterfield on North Hinsdale Road a year ago.
Emergency responders were called to the winding, narrow dirt road in the area of Bradley Road mid-afternoon on April 13, 2012 for a report of two persons suffering gunshot wounds. A medical evacuation helicopter flew in to assist.
Farr had been found injured and was hospitalized with a gunshot wound.
Mark McAuley, 39, of Hinsdale was found deceased. An autopsy revealed he died of multiple gunshot wounds.
The Attorney General's office has yet to conclude its investigation into the shooting.
Monday, Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley said he could not say if Farr is a shooting suspect since the case is still under investigation.
Hinckley said the Attorney General's office is not involved with the crash investigation and that it is unknown at this point what impact Farr's death would have on the ongoing shooting investigation.
"It's a little too preliminary to answer that. It's still an active investigation. What if any impact Farr's death will have on the investigation we'll have to wait and see," Hinckley said.
According to her Facebook page, Hinsdale was Breault's hometown. She was the mother of a teenage daughter.
She graduated from Hinsdale Senior High School in 1996, attended River Valley Community College in Claremont and had worked as an LNA at Maplewood Nursing home in Westmoreland.
The crash occurred on Route 12 around 10:28 a.m. on Friday between West Street and the Route 9 off ramp.
The tractor-trailer was fully loaded with approximately 5,000 gallons of petroleum products, police said.
After impact, the tractor-trailer caught fire, rupturing one of the trailer fuel cells. It took firefighters an hour to control the fire to the point at which it was safe for emergency workers to approach the scene.
The fire also damaged power lines running over the highway, further complicating the difficult removal of the tractor-trailer. The highway was closed to traffic until about 8 p.m. that night.
