I recently saw these made on an episode of Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" and knew that I had to eat make them. They are scrumptious. Light, tender little pillows full of flavor with crispy bottoms. C'mon.
The original recipe called for corn kernels, I omitted them. Should you want to attempt it, the original recipe on Food Network all the scoop on making your own dumplings. I'll definitely be trying it next time!

Customer Success Engineer – Gamification
Bunchball's VP of Client Services tapped Redfish Technology when the team recently decided to hire a Customer Success Engineer. As the industry leader in gamification, Bunchball works with some of the largest consumer and B2B companies in the world. Jon Piggins, Tech Recruiter at Redfish, analyzed the company's requirements and corporate culture and embarked on a search strategy. Jon targeted professionals with a highly technically mind paired with excellent communication skills who had a track record of working well with customers to get to the core needs and solve issues.
"Jon was a real pleasure to work with: He sought me out via LinkedIn for a specific opening, but was genuinely concerned that the opportunity was the right fit for me, and not just the other way around. He was able to understand and convey my unique combination of technical and client-facing skills, while being cognizant of the requirements I had for a new position. Jon is prompt, professional, and personable, and at the end of the day, he helped me land a new gig that was an improvement in every possible way from my previous position. Working with both Jon and Redfish was a pleasure, and I would certainly work with them again in the future." – Arun Wright

GBP/USD FX Price Action Analysis Update – 20th December
- GBP/USD found initial resistance at the 1.6300 area, after our previous update noted that any continued upside would bring the significant double top resistance area around 1.6300 back into focus as a technical point of interest.
- Price has subsequently dropped as low as 1.6237, before seeing another upside move. Yesterday printed a daily timeframe pinbar – not the most convincing in terms of size against such a strong trend – and it did not pierce the resistance area – but noted nonetheless.
- The move to the 1.6300 area never took out the previous highs and the market may yet take another upside run to test a break of 1.6308. This would see the highest GBP/USD level since around September 2011. The 1.6300 level has held on the first move higher but bullish momentum may subsequently a breakout scenario.
- If price can once again turn lower and does not break above resistance the following technical areas could possibly provide a supportive element going forward.
- Initial support has been seen around the 23.6% Fib.
- There is a 23.6, 38.2 Fibonacci and 50% confluence zone around the 1.6190 area.
- The 61.8 and 38.2% Fib levels are aligned around 1.6124.
- The key downside technical level we would be monitoring on any extended move lower is around 1.6170 as per the last GBP/USD analysis update (previous price action resistance level).
- Any upside move, inline with the prevailing trend, will still need to break above the key 1.6308 area resistance highs; a move above this level could potentially see an increased volatility scenario.
- Year end trading could potentially see thin illiquid markets and many participants will be on the sidelines at this stage.

On Thursday, August 29th at 10pm YOU will have the opportunity to participate in the world's largest synchronized heartbeat, which will take place in our dusty Black Rock City home. BMIR Radio (94.5FM) will broadcast a bass-laden heartbeat and art cars and camps across the playa will tune in for five minutes. By listening, your heartbeat will tune to the beat on the radio, and, by extension, the population of Black Rock City.
The goal of this experiment and playa dream of Playa Heartbeat project organizers Sonia Aggarwal and Jordan MacHardy is to get every single heart on the playa beating in sync. And, there's a science behind it. "When a human heart is surrounded by rhythmic low frequencies of the right meter, it aligns with the beat," says Aggarwal. Aggarwal says that the initial inspiration for the project came to the duo when they were walking around the playa in 2012 and imagining Black Rock City as a giant organism, which made them wonder what that organism's heartbeat might sound like.

Graves Golf Academy Reviews
About Graves Golf Academy
Graves Golf Academy, located at MoeNormanGolf.com, is an online golf training academy which focuses its training and lessons on the unusual and specific style of past golf champion, Moe Norman.
Recently there has been a growth in the options of online golf training. Golf is widely accepted as a game where many players would likely benefit from a one-on-one coach or trainer, the truth is that these same people often don't have trouble fitting such a thing into their schedule or into their budget.
This particular online golf academy has an interesting focus, unlike that of many of its competitors. The lessons from their training schools focus on the swing style of Moe Norman, a professional golfer from Canada, who Wikipedia describes as having such accuracy and the ability to hit shots perfectly straight that he was nicknamed "Pipeline Moe."
While Graves Golf Academy says that Norman's golf swing was considered "weird" or "unorthodox," it was also considered "efficient" and "freakishly accurate." During his career, Norman had 17 hole-in-one's, 9 double eagles, set over 30 records, and even more.
According to their website, their first five video training sessions can show you the most common mistakes to problems with your swing, simple changes you can make to improve your game, the easiest fixes for a swing which slices, and – of course – an introduction to and explanation of their model, Moe Norman.
Graves Golf Academy offers their training in a variety of different materials. Their package includes DVDs, an eBook, bonus golf videos, slow motion swing videos, a Short Game Solution video, and a Pre-Round Warm Up and Post-Round Stretch Routine.
The website says that this package of materials originally went for over $200, but these days they have adjusted their pricing to be more inclusive. Currently the entire package is priced at $67.

1 'Graves Golf Academy' Review
Excellent ! Game Changing
I'm 65 and had been struggling with my game for a number of years so I decided to do something about it. I had always heard about Moe Norman
and seen his swing on many occasions. I started buying a variety of CD's
about the golf swing and studied each one carefully and trying to implement their instruction. In my early 30-40's I was a single digit handicap and routinely shot in the mid to high 70's. For the last 5-10 years I struggled to break 90 and that was with a few mulligans. I played just really awful one day and really felt like a beginner, quite disgusting for a competitive guy like me. I decided to take the plastic wrapper of that off that Moe Norman Single Plane SOLUTION, I couldn't get any worse.
I literally watched the entire video, took a few notes, and went out by myself on the golf course late that afternoon to give it a shot. No practice and just a few practice swings trying to emulate that swing even though it felt a bit strange at first. My drive was straight and solid! I played 7 holes and hit the ball very solid although a few ugly shots did sneak in there. I'm sold because this is an easy swing to repeat and I can see myself improving rapidly. I was so motivated that I signed up for a club fitting with Cool Clubs in Arizona and just returned a few days ago. Weird looking or not this was an easy transition for me plus no tired back or shoulder after my 4 hour club fitting. It works for me.

By HAL MORRIS
At 6-9, 250 pounds, the conventional wisdom is that Julius Randle can take his man dow low and dominate him. But that is not where the Kentucky freshman's basketball future lies, so Randle has been trying to move away from the middle and get more of an outside game developed going into tonight's Blue-White Game.
"It's a hard adjustment. You can go back to your old ways and it will work, but that's not going to help you in the long run," said Randle, who was named the preseason Southeastern Conference Preseason Player of the Year by the media. "Just got to keep doing it and I've kept doing it and I've started to get better at it."
Randle has been focusing on every part of his game.
"Shooting the ball, shooting the ball off the dribble. Shooting floaters with the left and right hand," he said. "I've just got to keep working on that stuff and being patient enough to know that it's going to work out."
The challenge of learning to play away from the basket and being pushed by coach John Calipari in that direction is one thing that drew Randle to Kentucky.
"Just the freedom that Cal offers us is one of the big things that attracted me here," Randle said. "I knew I trusted him when I came here. He's not going to tell you everything you want to hear, but at the end of the day you know it's the best thing for you. And I came here because I trusted him, so I'm going to listen to what he says.
"It can be difficult because you want to do things your own way. But from what I've learned so far in practice, you keep working on it, you keep working on it and do things how he teaches you to do it, it starts to work out and you start getting good at it."
Calipari likened Randle's transformation to that of former player Patrick Patterson.
"I don't want to play him under the basket. That's not preparing him for what's ahead for him. I could play him at seven feet and try to win college games, tell him, I'm really helping you, or I can make him play out on the floor like we did Patrick Patterson," Calipari said. "Do you remember Patrick went from standing under the basket to playing at the top of the key offensively? So it's going to take him time."
Randle said he appreciates the work that goes into getting out of his comfort zone and growing his game.
"That's what it's all about, the process, the grind of things. Definitely you're going to see it at the end because you can already see the results form where you are just working," Randle said. "The process of him on you every day, working out, class and all that stuff, and you can see getting better at all that stuff."
Work is something Randle has no problem with. While last year's team was questioned for not putting enough time in on their own, Calipari has no such issues with Randle.
"I'll give you an example. I come in last night. I'm in my office about 11:00. 10:30. He's in there shooting," Calipari said. "This morning, I hear blup, blup, blup, and I look out my window in the morning, and he's got a full sweat going, and he's going to practice today."
Randle said working out on his own is something he's always done.
"I come from a hard-working family. My mom, being a single parent, always raising me, and I've seen how hard she works," he said. "So it's something I've always done. But having a gym 20 feet away from the (Wildcat) Lodge doesn't hurt at all."
Calipari said Randle may have lost some of his "swagger" early on, but that should just be temporary.
"But listen, he's — we're changing how he plays. So he's not as confident. He doesn't have the swagger that he had right now because we're changing — you can't do it from seven feet," Calipari said. "Now get out there and do it from the perimeter.
"You still have to offensive rebound, which he is not. He's not defensive rebounding the way he needs to. He is driving the ball better and recognizing better, trying to figure out when do I shoot jumpers, when do I drive?"
Randle said he has never lost confidence in his game, but admits if his game is struggling it could affect his confidence.
"I'm always going to be confident. It's just how confident I'm going to be is how I'm developing, how I'm getting better. I'm definitely getting better every day. And I'll get my swagger back," he said.
Randle, who averaged 32.5 points and 22.5 rebounds per game last season at Prestonwood Christian in Texas, is one of six freshman McDonald's All-Americans at UK. The Wildcats are in the top three of most preseason polls, but Randle was not going to get caught up in prognosticating abut how good the Wildcats can be this season.
"I can't speak from experience because I haven't played a college game. I just know what we have here. It seems like we have a really good team, and Nov. 8 we'll be able to go over there and see what we're made of," he said. "We're going to be everybody's big game, we'll just have to see when we go out there."

After such an exciting and groundbreaking project as the all new Radar Vapor, the company could not wait to share the technology down the line with a few more of their ski shapes. They immediately worked to redesign the 2014 Senates to adopt the complete Vapor design blueprint. The result has evolved the Senate, which has been a customer favorite for the past few years, into an elevated version of its previous self. The ALL NEW Senate is composed of increased sustainable speed through the turn, resulting in more speed through the wakes. Adding 0.2" to the Vapor design is quintessential in what Radar believes to be the most inspiring ski on the water for accomplished skiers and the occasional-to-consistent bouy chaser. At the recommended max speed of 34 mph, you will not outpace the Senate's performance. Guaranteed!
-0.2" wider than the record-breaking Radar Vapor Water Ski
Recommended for speeds up to 34mph
Recommended Sizing:
65" (up to 170lbs)
67" (160 - 200lbs)
69" (180 - 220lbs)

Quoted from Henriette Bsec What are your size of LDL particles. ????That matters more than cholesterol and numbers imo"Small LDL particles are created through a cascade that begins with carbohydrate consumption, measuring them provides an index of both carbohydrate exposure and sensitivity. "Read more herehttp://www.heartscanblog.org/2009/01/tale-of-two-ldls.htmland btwhigh choleresterol = heart attach is one of the biggest lies!!
Quoted from focused I hsve had this happen to me in the past. My theory (no scientific grounds) is that when I was eating all the fats I wanted my body did not need to produce cholesterol but when I cut down on fats cholesterol went through the roof. Since you said you didn't eat much perhaps you are not eating enough. Just my thought.focused
Quoted from Mother you didn't mention fruits or grains, does that mean you're not eating them? they , at least grains give me high cholesterol. all carbs do, that's why I'm low carb. If you're not eating them, this doesn't help. sorry. did you lose alot of weight recently? maybe your still have fat swimming around that throws choesterol off. that might just be triglycerides tho, not sure
Quoted from 815 Just take lecithin granules. 1 Tablespoon a day to start. It's fine for O's. It dropped my cholesterol 36 points.
Quoted from Victoria Patty, you mentioned Black Diamond foods. Is that what they're called in the SWAMI? I only know of Diamonds and Black Dots.Liquid Lecithin is the same as Lecithin, which is in granular form.
Quoted Text My total cholesterol is also the highest its ever been. It went from 225 to 258 yesterday.
Quoted from kauaian and btwhigh choleresterol = heart attachis one of the biggest lies!!They are trying to sell statins for drug companies. The opposite of what your are experiencing happened to me. I am your age but never took hormones some hot flashes here & there don't stop me. I was told by my Dr. that I'm borderline high but the good was around 70, total came to 230 & he said no biggie. Next blood test was up around 270 & then came BTD. Dropped like a hot sweet potato. Also, I eat way more meat & eggs than ever & now my cholesterol is better.
Quoted from Mother When my choelsterol was high, this new Dr I saw just sent me a letter saying they were high and wanted to put me on statins. Never asked what I ate or if I exercised or anything. I didn't care for him so I researched it. The only other thing besides going low carb that I did was exersice. It wasn't overly strenuous at that time either, I walked on my treadmill. they went from 248 to 176 in 8 weeks. Do you do any exercise? Have you googled bio identical hormones to see if there's a link there? Being a former EMT, I do know how important family history is. Sometimes it's just in the genes. though I believe being an O you have found the best diet for you but sometimes diet alone isn't enough. I would talk to the holistic Dr that was recommended and see if you can incorporate BT into his/her plan. I don't like meds if they can be avoided with life style changes but if you eat right AND EXERSICE and those don't lower them, i would consider a statin. 258 isn't life threatening alone. what were your HDL and tryglicerides? It's not all about just your LDL. high HDL is important. I'm sure your DR is being conservative with your family history.
Quoted from Lola FYIthat is not extremely high for an O non....I really wouldn t worry much and keep on doing what you are doingimportant is how you feel on a daily basis, and all will balance out nicely
Quoted from Possum Sorry today was a bad day Patty H !! I hope tomorrow is better & try not to stress I believe stress plays a much bigger part in health than many give it credit for...
Quoted from ABJoe Patty,As I recall from the top of the thread, you have been on one of Dr. D's diets for 6 months... I am wondering if the body is now starting to clear some deposits out of the blood vessels and this is causing the higher numbers. It is possible that since you have been on the diet for this long that some healing has been done within the vessels and now they don't "need" the plaque on the inside of the vessels walls, so the body is removing it. While I understand the alarm because of your family's medical history, I am hesitant to be impatient with the body. I believe it knows what is best for itself and if provided the right input, will perform astounding feats to correct problems.I agree that you should monitor, but not get too excited while in this transition stage...
Quoted Text Two of my three siblings were not overweight when they had their bypass surgery.
Quoted from Lola right, and they didn t eat right either......my FIL had not one but 5 bypasses......he was always slim throughout his life...he was an A though.......
Quoted from Kumar A few thoughts:Dr D says the mechanism of heart attack among O's and B's follows the Triglyceride way and not the cholestoral way. When you do not inject enough cholestoral, your liver is likely to speed up its productionUnless you take another reading from a month from now, it might be too early to reach conclusion.
Quoted from jayneeo my friend was on the fat flush diet ...lost a lot of weight , but then got a worse cholestrol reading and called me in a panic...so I thought...hmm...fat flushing...could the fat be being carried out in the blood? She thanked me for the idea. dunno if it was true, but it sounds reasonable.I'd agree with the posters who say eat less grain, more fat (I'd go for animal fat...ghee, or grassfed hamburger)...seems counter intuitive, but it seemed to have worked for me.
Quoted from geminisue Was your test after, at least an 8 hr fast? or was it spur of the moment?Was it planned for?By chance did you eat lobster tail, shrimp or other sea food, day or two before test? What about number of egg yolks right before test (day or two or same day)Just wondering if it is really an accurate test, think about it.
Quoted from Victoria I don't have time to go back and read the thread, but did you increase carbs in your diet, Patty? That seems to cause more problems for type O's than increased fats.
Quoted from ruthiegirl If I were you, I'd probably keep on using the SWAMI food lists, but completely ignore the SWAMI portion size and frequency recomendations specifically for fat. I would also continue the SWAMI portion size and frequency recomenations for all other food categories, if they made intuitive sense.There does seem to be an issue with SWAMI and fat portions.
Quoted from SquarePeg Hi Patty:Good luck with all of this. My cholesterol has always been high, so I'm following this with interest. Fortunately for me, my family history isn't an issue.Still, I wonder what effect high cholesterol has on my entire body, not just my heart. Could it be responsible for somewhat numb and stiff fingers? Is it the reason my legs feel wooden after a brisk walk? Do I have a higher risk of embolism?I received a requisition for lipid profile about one month ago. At some point I expect that I'll have the blood drawn and that my doctor will lay into me about the 300 total reading, 200 LDL. Then what do I do -- print out Kumar's post and hand it to him?
Quoted from Mother Protein FAT veg- that's your ticket!
Quoted from Mother I am no such athlete!! lol. I don't eat any grains as you know but swami says 4 servings and a serving is equal to 2 pieces of bread. It also says 4 cups or whole fruits. Seems a bit high for any kind of ketosis. lol. I just apply the basic BT principles to my swami and I'm all good I like my swami for the extra food values but when I first got it, I saw all these diamond carbs and thought 'eat often', then rethought that and all is well.

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue
Saturday, August 2, 2014 Fort Adams State Park
Band/Personnel: Trombone Shorty | Dan Oestreicher | Tim McFatter | Pete Murano | Mike Ballard | Joey Peebles
Trombone Shorty
Rare indeed is the artist with the virtuosity to draw the unqualified respect of some of the most iconic legends in jazz and the ability to deliver a high-energy funk rock show capable of mesmerizing international rock stars. Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews is one such artist - and there is no one else like him.
Trombone Shorty is equally adept on trombone and trumpet and is a man to be reckoned with on both. A product of New Orleans' culturally rich Treme neighborhood, Trombone Shorty was a bandleader by the age of six.
While navigating New Orleans with his band in tow, he was also absorbing lessons from his older brother James, a dynamic musical performer known as "Satchmo of the Ghetto." By the time Trombone Shorty was twelve, he had a Ph.D. in the ways of the streets, which you can still hear in his music.
During a visit to a small New Orleans club, Bono and the Edge saw the 12-year-old trombone player. "We walked in and the place was jumping. There was this little funk band, but they were all playing brass instruments, which is something I'd never heard of or seen before," The Edge recalled. "We were just mesmerized by him. I ended up with Bono, after a few tequilas, dancing with a bunch of girls on the top of the bar. It was one of those sort of nights."
Now, at 23, Trombone Shorty has grown into a performer who commands the stage while emanating an elegance and class gleaned from his successful studies at the prestigious New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts. As a graduate, he joined the ranks of alums like Branford Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and Nicholas Payton. Another alum, Wynton Marsalis, said of him, "Troy possesses the rarest combination of talent, technical capability and down home soul. I'm his biggest fan."
Shorty has attracted many such legends to his high-profile fanbase, and the diverse and notable names he has performed and soloed with include Norah Jones at Jazzfest 2007, Diana Krall at Madison Square Garden in 2005, and chart-topping rapper Juvenile at VoodooFest 2008.
The here and now finds Trombone Shorty a fully developed performer bursting into the international consciousness. It's always a challenge to find an appropriate label for artists who make something uniquely their own from a variety of influences. In the case of Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, the band created its own tagline for its high-octane music: SupaFunkRock. The group's performances have been known to run for hours at an energy level that few others could sustain for a much shorter performance.
The seeds for Orleans Avenue were sown at New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts, and the group has since evolved into a six-piece touring phenomenon. With Mike Ballard on bass, Pete Murano on guitar, Joey Peebles on drums, Dwayne Williams on percussion and Dan Oestreicher on baritone sax, their performances transcend the boundaries of generation and classification. Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue have been drawing ever-growing crowds based largely on word of mouth excitement about their knockout shows, night after night. Making the most of limited time off, they are currently recording new songs that capture the band's rare combination of virtuosity and high-energy party intensity - the next accomplishment to watch for in the career of this unparalleled young artist.

Westminster is its own genuine, unique institution and I firmly believe that if I had not chosen to attend, I would not be the person that I am today.
My experience is unique because my professors made it so. I knew about Westminster College my entire life, and had visited numerous times because my mother also attended here. I had a lot of presuppositions and delusions about Westminster, and they were all shattered by an extraordinary group of individuals who loved me even when I couldn't love myself. They hugged me when I came to them feeling as though I were a complete failure and let my tears stain their shirts. They told me when I needed to get my act together, and as an effect saved my academic career. They taught me what it meant to be not just a student, but a whole person, and that is what makes my experience unique. Westminster gives whole people to the world. That is both unique and remarkable.
After graduation, I plan to remind the world that their hearts can feel. I may go to graduate school, into the Peace Corps, or teach. Whatever I do, I will write. I can't live without words. They are everything.
I would like to thank my professors in the English department for loving me unconditionally and continually pushing me to be my best. They have cared for me from the very beginning, and over the years have shown me an extraordinary amount of compassion and understanding. I have nothing but the utmost admiration, respect, and affection for them; they are my heroes. I wouldn't know them if I hadn't received the legacy scholarship that allowed me to attend Westminster College.

Roasted Eggplant Lasagna
This recipe serves: 8
Preparation time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
6 large eggplants, peeled and sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
salt to taste
1 pound lasagna noodles
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3 cups basic tomato sauce, homemade, jarred or canned
freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray two baking sheets with nonstick spray and set
aside. In a large bowl, toss the eggplant slices with a generous sprinkling of salt
and let them drain in a collander for 30 minutes. Rinse the eggplant and pat the
slices dry with paper towels. Arrange the eggplant in a single layer on the prepared
baking sheets. Roast the eggplant in the oven for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a
large pot of well salted water to a boil and prepare a large bowl of ice water. Add
the lasagna noodles to the boiling water and cook until they are just al dente.
Drain and plunge the noodles into the ice water to cool them quickly. Drain again
and lay the noodles out on paper towels. Cover the bottom of a large baking dish
that is at least 2 inches deep with a thin coat of tomato sauce. Line the dish with
a single layer of lasagna noodles. Spread 1/3 of the sliced eggplant over the
noodles and sprinkle the eggplant with a few tablespoon s of breadcrumbs. Pour 1/2
cup of sauce over the eggplant, season with pepper and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of
mozzarella cheese. Repeat with 2 more layers of noodles, eggplant, breadcrumbs,
sauce and mozzarella cheese. Finish with a final layer of noodles and the remaining
sauce, then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Lower the
oven temperature to 350°F. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake until the top of the lasagna is golden brown,
about 5 minutes more. Let stand for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares
and serving.

Nov 2, 2012 1:44 PM by The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - The New York City Marathon is still unsure how it will get its runners to the starting line Sunday, yet another obstacle in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
A day after New York Road Runners President Mary Wittenberg said ferries would again take some entrants to the start on Staten Island, marathon organizers said they might not be used.
Wittenberg had said final transportation plans would be announced Friday morning. Those plans now may not come until Saturday.
After Sandy devastated the New York area, organizers initially decided to use only buses to get runners to the start. But Wittenberg said Thursday that the city wanted to use ferries.
The ferry resumed service Friday.
City and race officials have faced criticism for not canceling or postponing the marathon. But sponsor Asics calls holding the event "a true symbol of the city's strength and determination."

Abbreviation of (now obsolete) Schnellbahn, from schnell ("fast") + Bahn ("track, train")
S-Bahn f (genitive S-Bahn, plural S-Bahnen)
Usage notesEdit
The S-Bahn is not to be confused with the Straßenbahn, which is a city-center train with many stops (or in other words, an overground kind of subway). In densely populated areas, one will have to take the S-Bahn to get to the next city, and then switch to the local Straßenbahn to arrive at one's final destination. (Note that some traffic regions do not use S-Bahnen, but have similar trains called, for example, Regionalbahn.)

While you were living life this weekend, NFL general managers kept busy throwing money at their problems. So consider this the Monday morning catchup version of the free agency digest, and let's dive into the main questions arising from the weekend that was.
Which Hakeem Nicks are the Colts getting?
The impact of this question was significantly softened when Hakeem Nicks signed with the Indianapolis on a deal worth the NFL equivalent of several pennies: one year at $3.5 million. It's the proverbial "prove it" deal, one usually given to a player coming off a major injury. For example, Jeremy Maclin actually insisted on a short-term contract with the Eagles, betting on himself after an ACL tear so he can hit the open market a year from now after showing his knee is just fine thanks. A year ago Brent Grimes placed the same bet before having a Pro Bowl season and being rewarded with a $35 million contract.
Nicks doesn't have to prove his body is up to the task. He has to prove he cares.
He slogged through injuries of his own, notably knee and foot problems that zapped his speed and separation, leading to a career low 692 receiving yards in 2012. He only turned up on the injury report 13 times that season, leading to shrugs when trying to assess what the hell went wrong. The answer was simple and he'd be able to rebound just fine, or so we thought.
Nope. Nicks completed his bottoming out with zero touchdown catches this past season after having 11 during his sophomore season back in 2010, and he did that while compiling fines for being late to team meetings and skipping treatment sessions. His ability to care seemed to vanish, which is why his hiring price was expectedly low.
But even though it feels like he's been in our lives for much, much longer, Nicks is still only 26. That means he remains four years shy of a time when we usually start talking about wide receivers reaching their plateau. What Colts general manager Ryan Grigson has in Nicks then is either the bargain of this free agency period if he gets 2010 or 2011 Nicks (the guy who had a combined 2,244 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns over two years) to split outside opposite Reggie Wayne with T.Y. Hilton in the slot, or a no-cost flop, and an experiment he can rip the cord from in a year.
Julius Peppers = John Abraham?
When DeMarcus Ware first became available for hire, I made the comparison to John Abraham last year. Abraham was a little older (34) when he was cut by the Falcons, but like Ware he was coming off a highly combustable season when he suffered an ankle injury and wasn't at all himself afterwards. In the first year of a two-year deal, at the low, low price of only $4.6 million, Abraham recorded 11.5 sacks with controlled snaps in a situational pass rusher role. Abuse to his aging body was minimized, while his remaining speed — of which there's still plenty — was maximized.
But since the market was still sizzling enough for the soon-to-be 32-year-old Ware and he was given $20 million guaranteed by the Broncos, the Abraham comparison may be far more appropriate for Julius Peppers.
Peppers just signed a three-year deal worth $30 million with the Packers, the hated rival of his now former employer. I feel filthy for even telling you those overall terms, though, because they're a lie. In reality it's a one-year deal with $7.5 million, with essentially two option years, if you will. That's how much guaranteed money Peppers was given, and if the Packers are still satisfied after one year and think a then 35-year-old pass rusher can still contribute, he'll stay on the roster. But cutting him will cost little.
Peppers no longer has the great edge burst which led to 14.5 sacks in his younger days. He is but another soldier fighting time, a battle we all lose eventually. Used in a situational pass rushing role to preserve whatever snap quickness remains, Peppers could easily go all Abraham while adding another scary and large element to a front seven that brought an opposing quarterback down 44 times in 2013.
Can we live in a world where Ben Tate isn't broken?
The devaluing of running backs has long reached the point where scraps can be had in free agency, and they can be another man's precious gold. But this year that was taken to a new level when when the top running back available was still unsigned until Day 5.
As was expected the moment it became clear Ben Tate wouldn't be retained by the Texans, he landed in Cleveland on a meager two-year deal worth $7 million. Although the commitment was longer, the yearly average is nearly identical to the contract given to Reggie Bush a year ago (four years, $16 million).
That reflects poorly on Bush and the Lions now, because although his injury history is concerning (he missed eight games over three seasons) Tate has faced far less pummeling. Still ripe at 25 years old after being preserved in largely a backup role behind Arian Foster, Tate has only 479 career touches to Bush's 1,616. Most impressively, despite playing only about half the snaps of the top running backs this past season, Tate forced 41 missed tackles according to Mike Clay, which tied him with Jamaal Charles. Put his bulk and downhill speed in a Kyle Shanahan offense (the man who gave us Alfred Morris), and great things could be coming.
This is a potential steal for the Browns for that reason. They've purchased two of Tate's prime years, and they did it for less than the cost of a then 28-year-old running back a year ago. Of course, health is the massive looming buzzkill here for a running back who could be the last piece needed on a youthful offense about to bring in a rookie quarterback. Tate finished 2013 on the injured reserved with a rib problem, and he was severely limited in 2012 with hamstring and foot ailments.
That's the risk. But just as the Packers did with Peppers and his age-induced decay, it's one minimized by a dollar figured, and the additional backfield support Cleveland will surely seek with their 10 draft picks, five of which are in the first three rounds.
Will Emmanuel Sanders be a younger, faster Welker?
After a kerfuffle over a verbal agreement with the Chiefs that was apparently, well, just a verbal agreement, Emmanuel Sanders agreed to a three-year contract with the Denver Broncos worth $15 million. Only $6 million is guaranteed, making this another shrewd deal by John Elway, who this time purchased prime years with little damage.
What's appealing about Sanders is his versatility, especially for a Denver offense that will eventually need to replace Wes Welker. Sanders will be the Eric Decker replacement, a role he fills for $9 million less in guaranteed money. At worst he's Decker's equal, as Sanders' lack of height by comparison is compensated for with far more speed. On 20 fewer receptions in 2013 Sanders had 12 catches for 20 yards or more to Decker's 19.
That speed will likely be utilized out wide, but Sanders can shift inside to play the slot too, which is where he spent about 15 percent of his snaps in Pittsburgh last season. When lined up in the slot Sanders accumulated 155 of his 740 total receiving yards, and caught two of his six touchdowns. He can be Decker or Welker, and Demaryius Thomas can keep being Demaryius Thomas.
Between this signing and the Patriots both re-upping Julian Edelman (not surprising in the least) while adding even more receiving depth with Brandon LaFell, the fierce AFC money-chucking battle between Denver and New England continues.

Serves 8
- 1 pound frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 store-bought angel-food cake
- 16-ounce container fat-free or full-fat Greek yogurt
Place the strawberries and sugar in a saucepan. Heat gently until the strawberries are soft and the sugar has dissolved. Allow the juices to reduce slightly, until they have the consistency of a thin syrup. Let cool.
Tear fist-sized pieces from the angel-food cake and use them to line the bottom of a large, clear bowl or trifle dish. Cover with a layer of Greek yogurt and a layer of strawberries in syrup, filling in any holes in the previous layer. Add another layer of cake and continue building until all the ingredients have been used, ending with a few spoonfuls of yogurt and strawberries as a garnish.

LAFAYETTE (AP) — The leader of the Miami Nation of Indiana says he's dismayed a bill that would provide state recognition for the Indian nation has failed for a third straight year to get a legislative hearing.
Chief Brian Buchanan tells the Journal & Courier state officials have no "problem using our names for geological markers and schools, but then they're telling us we don't exist."
Republican Sen. Randy Head of Logansport has introduced the bill for the past three years. Both he and Buchanan believe it has met resistance because top lawmakers fear that giving the Miami Nation state recognition would lead it to build a casino as other tribes have done.
Buchanan says he and the Indian nation's nearly 6,000 Indiana residents have no interest in developing a casino.

'Under Wildwood,' a sequel from Portland's Meloy and Ellis, safely scares
Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis collaborated on a sequel to "Wildwood," giving children a chance to work through some scary stuff in a safe environment. The couple will discuss the book Wednesday at Fremont's Abbey Arts Center.
Seattle Times staff columnist
Nicole's calendar
Where the Farmers are the Stars: Farmers and chefs will join forces tonight for "An Incredible Feast," a benefit for the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance and the Good Farmer Fund. The event, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Swanson's Nursery, 9701 15th Ave. N.W., will feature food, wine, music, games and a silent auction. Tickets are $125 at www.brownpapertickets.com.

Relief from The Biebs Parents looking to escape from the 20,000 kids jammed into the Tacoma Dome for Tuesday's Justin Bieber concert are welcome across the street at the LeMay — America's Car Museum, which is hosting "Parental Daycare," from 5 to 10 p.m. Parents can pay $10, walk among the Ferraris and Indy race cars and buy drinks and dinner in the museum cafe. Kids 17 and under with Bieber tickets can tag along free before the show (www.lemaymuseum.org)
There's no denying the comfort of "Goodnight Moon."
But some of the most celebrated children's books would keep a mortician up at night. Wizards and witches and no way out. Bloodshed and terror and only your wits to save you.
These themes permeate the canon of singer/songwriter Colin Meloy of The Decemberists. So it seems natural that he would venture into children's literature, and enlist his wife, the illustrator Carson Ellis, to bring his words to life.
Theirs has been a swift and successful collaboration: Meloy and Ellis have just published "Under Wildwood," a sequel to last year's "Wildwood," in which a 12-year-old girl named Prue McKeel ventured into a forbidden forest after her toddler brother, Mac, was swept away by a murder of crows. Think Narnia and Grimm's Fairy Tales, but from a Portland perspective.
Meloy and Carson will talk about it all at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center in an event hosted by the University Book Store.
They recently spoke by telephone from their home in Portland, where they live in a renovated farmhouse with their 6-year-old son, Hank. The place is not far from Forest Park, the 5,100 acre, well, forest park on which they based "The Impassable Wilderness" where little Mac was taken — and where Prue's adventures unfold.
When it was released last year, "Wildwood" debuted at No. 8 on The New York Times best-seller list for children's chapter books.
They also put a lot of the city of Portland in the pages: Not just street names, but lifestyle. Prue is a vegetarian who drinks rice milk, rides a bike and travels through farmers markets.
In that same, throwback vein, Ellis' artistic style has a rustic, woodcut quality. Meloy's lyrics lean toward epic tales of historic battles and folklore.
Those same themes exist in the "Wildwood" books.
You wonder: Were these two born too late?
"I don't know," Ellis said. "I just like the environment and costumes and architecture ... anything olden."
Meloy is just fine with these times.
"I guess I like the fact that we have easy, free drinking water and we don't have to worry about the plague and that we have government regulations," he said. "I am exoticizing bygone eras and plucking the stuff that I like."
Meloy's publicist said there would be no talk of his music here. No questions about the band's next album or past successes, which (let's be honest) play no small part in the interest his books have received.
So we talk about Meloy's writing process.
"I really have to set aside time and just get to the work, rather than waiting for the inspiration to strike," he said. "In the beginning, there was a waiting around for the bolt from the blue."
It helped to take walks in the park with Ellis to build and sort out the "Wildwood" plot, twists and turns, and its colorful characters.
"It's a nice place to clear you mind and develop ideas," Meloy said. "The world we're creating inside these books is resembling that world less and less, as we are filling them with characters and events."
Ellis has illustrated The Decemberists' album covers, and other children's books, including a Lemony Snicket book called "The Composer is Dead."
One of the great things about "Wildwood" is that nothing has to be period-correct, she said.
"You can take little bits of costuming from the history of fashion and architecture," Ellis said. "You can just draw from whatever is interesting to you."
She uses a nib pen to give her drawings an old-fashioned look similar to the way E.H. Shepard drew "Winnie the Pooh" and Arthur Rackham illustrated "Alice in Wonderland."
"Those are a couple of my favorites," Ellis said, adding that as she got older, she also admired the work of Maurice Sendak of "Where the Wild Things Are."
Indeed, the woods have always been a great place to set children's stories, Ellis said.
"When kids are playing in the woods, they are separated from the time they live in and their parents," she said. "It's the perfect place for the imagination of a child."
But why are parents so clueless in children's books — including "Wildwood"?
"They're funnier when they're clueless," Meloy said, then added: "It's a folktale archetype. And it gives kids an opportunity to role-play their own independence in a safe way — in books."
Same with the violence, he said, calling it "an opportunity for kids to role-play witnessing horrible things and violence and introducing that sort of thing to them in a safe environment, couched in a book, surrounded by characters they trust.
"It's a way to ease into those kinds of realities," he said.
The film version of "Wildwood" and "Under Wildwood" are getting closer to reality. The books have been optioned by Laika Studios, the Portland-based, stop-animation studio that made "Coraline." Ellis is thrilled.
"I admire Laika and I am a great admirer of stop animation," she said. "It is so labor-intensive and a labor of love. So much magical work goes into it."
She couldn't say whether they were using her illustrations. That depends on the director.
That said, "I would put out into the universe that I would like to be involved," she said.
Which leads to their son, Hank. Is he involved in "Wildwood"? Are any parts of the stories his?
"If we mined him for stories, there would be comets crashing into to the world," Ellis said. "He has limited interest in talking animals."

Gravity Forms allows you to quickly and easily integrate with a variety of third party services such as PayPal and provides for even deeper integration with WordPress through our collection of optional Add-Ons. Hot stuff!
Build and publish your WordPress forms in just minutes. No drudgery, just quick and easy form-building. Select your fields, configure your options and easily embed forms on your WordPress powered site using the built-in tools. That's way more satisfying (and less fattening) than a peanutty candy bar any day.
Building simple and complex forms alike is a piece of cake with the easy to use form editor.
Make long forms easier to use by breaking them up into multiple pages, complete with progress bar.
Sure, we know how to use Photoshop. Yes, shiny buttons and super-sized icons are hip but they just don't have a place in a WordPress plugin interface. We've spent a lot of time making sure that the Gravity Forms UI is intuitive, is easy to use and feels just like a part of the WordPress core. Hey, less is more right? Also, if you're a developer, we know the last thing you want to do is train your client on a completely new application interface. Gravity Forms blends in seamlessly so that's never an issue.
Some of the biggest names in the WordPress premium theme scene are also some of the biggest Gravity Forms fans. They've optimized their themes for Gravity Forms users by adding custom, theme-matched styles. It doesn't get much easier than that.

Album review
Various Artists - I Only Wrote This Song For You: A Tribute To Johnny Thunders
First released in '94, this tribute to one of rock's scuzziest troubadours featured many of his punky peers, including the three Dolls that survived him, all paying evidently heartfelt homage. The 2002 version is bolstered by Marc Almond's well-chosen "Hurt Me" but undermined by a colourless Glen Matlock, Sigue Sigue Sputnik's faithful but incompetent "Personality Crisis", and the inexplicable dropping of Mike Monroe's "So Alone". Thunders himself-live, acoustic and hidden at the end-shows them how it's done.

10 August 2009
HP Tech Support gets a paltry 8 out of 10
My laptop gets hot. Not burn-your-hand hot, but uncomfortable-to-the-touch hot. Definitely too-hot-to-to-put-your-laptop-on-your-lap hot.
I'm pretty sure this is a bad thing. So I called the customer service helpline. After going through some 'hold & transfer' tango, I ended up with a customer service rep in Canada.
We spent about 45 minutes on the phone. Together we downloaded a thing to do a thing to the hot part that would make it less hot. He seemed pleasant and patient.
Our conversation often lapsed into semi-awkward silence. Such as while as we waited for the download, and for my computer to cool. In the end the problem didn't seem entirely fixed, but the underside did seem a little cooler after we upgraded the... whatever it was.
After asking if there was anything else he could for me, he provided me with a service ticket number, and transfered me to his supervisor. To check my satisfaction, he explained. Despite having already been on the phone for three-quarters of an hour, I acquiesced.
His supervisor greeted me by name, then launched into some questions. She very quickly arrived at the crux of the survey.
"How would you rate the service you received out of 10?" she asked, before clarifying, "With 10 being the highest."
"An 8," I decided; appropriately high marks for Derek's commitment to quality service.
"Is there anything I can do to make it a 9? Or even a perfect 10?" She asked brightly.
I thought for a moment. "No."
"Oh." Her deep disappointment at the failure of Derek to get a 10, and her own failure to raise the grade, were conveyed in this one syllable. "Can I ask why?"
"Well, I was very happy with the service, which is why I gave it such a high mark," I explained reasonably. "However, I couldn't give it a perfect grade because I have nothing to compare it to. It wouldn't be fair for me to give Derek a perfect 10, only to have some other operator exceed my expectations. This is the only way to keep my customer service grading consistent and within the parameters."
"I respect your decision, sir, but I must say this is not a very good mark." Her tone clearly implied she in no way respected my decision.
"Wait. An 8 isn't a very good mark?"
"It would be much better if it were a 9 or a 10."
"Naturally." She had a point.
"Are you sure you don't want to change your mark?" She demanded, with an edge of desperation creeping into her voice.
This was surprising. Techie Derek had led me to believe dignity and professionalism ruled in the HP Support Office. But apparently not. I tried another route.
"I was very happy with Derek's service. The missing marks are nothing personal. But my laptop is still a little hot. My problem is only partly solved, so that's why I scored the service an 8."
"But," she insisted, "it's not a very good mark."
I couldn't believe the conversation we were having. Fortunately, she cut it short.
"OK. I respect your decision, sir." She obviously still did not respect my decision, but seemed to grudgingly accept that my grade was final. "Thank you for calling HP and have a nice day." Her tone made it clear she wished my laptop would explode in my face.
How had things ended so badly? What, as they say, the fuck?
After working through my problem with Derek I felt quite positive about the service - despite the fact the solution was only partially successful. But the customer satisfaction survey kinda spoiled everything. Partially because it was conducted by a hysterical grade-grubber.
And partially because I fear for Derek. That guy did nothing but his best, but I now worry my 8 may be a black stain forever blighting his service record.
Derek, I'm sorry I only gave you an 8. Thanks again for your help.

Dont worry about Derek. The strange confusion that you are feeling as a result of your dealings with HP are natural. However, please allow me to lend a machete to your mental thicket.... The HP corporation has a rampant gambling problem. And, as you obviously sensed the superviser had an awful lot riding on a 9 or a 10. Derek has since retired and is enjoying the fruits of his lucky 8. Techie Derek no more. Jet Setting International Playboy Derek - Oh Yeah... Cheers J NOdder

In the northern hemisphere, this solstice occurs during what is typically the coldest season of the year. Throughout history winter has been regarded as the season of hibernation, stillness, melancholy, famine, dormancy, darkness and cold. The symbolism of the winter solstice to-date represents the coming of lighter days and potentially elevated optimism, energy and hope.

For the little ones that to him belong
(He is weak but he is God)
This is no time for a child to be born,
With the earth betrayed by war & hate
And a comet slashing the sky to warn
That time runs out & the sun burns late.
The outside shed where Jesus lay
Was home to goat and ox;
It was a dirty place to be;
Fit for the shepherds' flocks;
The miracle of life is the true Christmas miracle… indeed each breath is a miracle, each moment when we are able to gaze at the stars and see their brilliance is a miracle. And love…that's the best miracle of all. This Christmas we wish you moments of love, laughter and light.
read moreThis Christmas holiday week I plan to slow down and reflect on the year that has passed. I will set time aside to find some peace, joy, focus, forgiveness, thankfulness, and renewal for my own soul before the next year begins. I want to take some extra time to just be, and breath, and feel gratitude and joy. The best present I may receive this year may simply be the opportunity to be present. And maybe in that presence I will more deeply experience the very presence and Spirit of my own divinity.
read moreWhen I am struggling, maybe with grief, or trying to sort out something difficult in my life, I often go to a special spot and quietly wait for the new sun to appear. It always makes a significant difference in my being when I do this. My load feels lighter. My fears often dissolve. My grief can be transformed into hope. Over the years I have thought of all kinds of metaphors that may explain this phenomenon. I am reminded that it is a new dawn, or a new day. No matter how painful or dark my situation seems to be, as that sun comes over the horizon everything in my life begins to look and feel different. The new sun symbolizes a new beginning for me. I feel I have gained a new perspective. My internal darkness has dissolved into new light and I am comforted.

Jesus of Nazareth went to his death insisting that peace through victory was no peace at all. Jesus of Nazareth proclaimed the radical notion that peace, true peace can only be established and maintained through justice.Peace, true peace, is the result of everyone having enough. Distributive justice which ensures that the poor and the powerless, the marginalized and the despised have all they need to live in peace.It was such a radically dangerous notion that the powers that be could not let it live.

The scene in the movie were Scrooge realizes that it is Christmas morning and that life doesn't have to be the way it has always been and he does that wonderful dance and sings: "I don't know anything! I never did know anything all on a Christmas morning!" I always thought of that wonderful dance as the culmination of Scrooge's metamorphosis, like a butterfly bursting forth from a cocoon. But now I see it for what it really is. It is a dance of resurrection. For Scrooge was dead. Dead and gazing at his own tombstone, when suddenly, and suddenly for me always indicates the work of the Spirit, suddenly, Scrooge realizes that what he is seeing are only the shadows of things that might be. Suddenly, Scrooge knows "that men's deeds foreshadow certain ends. But if the deeds be departed from surely the ends will change!" Scrooge is born again and is able to declare with confidence, "I'm not the man I was." And so, the resurrected Scrooge becomes all that God intended him to be.

I decided to divide up my Canna Pretoria "Bengal Tigers", since they've become such a huge clump. I started with only four of these plants last spring. They were in 4" pots. It's crazy how big these guys got in one year!
Here they were in the summer after 2-3 solid months of growth
Here they were in the beginning of fall after I cut them back.
and here they are now getting big again.
I under estimated how big the clumps are! I thought I had enough 1/2gal pots for all 4 clumps but I didn't even have enough after dividing up one of the clumps! LOL Some of the rhizomes were too big to fit in the 1/2gal containers so I had to bury them back in the ground for now.
So if anyone's interested I'm selling these. The bigger ones on the left side are $5 each. While the smaller ones to the right are $3 each. Don't be fooled by size of the plants that are sprouting because their rhizomes underneath are pretty big -> 5-6"+ None of these Cannas carry the Canna Virus. I guarantee it! I've stopped buying rhizomes from nurseries because you can't tell whether they have the virus or not until they've sprouted. More than 50% of the rhizomes I've gotten in the past from local nurseries have the virus, that's why I only purchase Cannas that have sprouted already. The place that I got these from originally is from Brian's botanicals. He sells them for $8 each and come in 4" pots. Here's his description of the Canna Bengal Tiger -
You won't find this type of Canna in local nurseries here in Az, or at least I haven't, and I frequently visit quite a few of the nurseries in town all year :) So if anybody's interested, let me know! -John |
Follow-Up Postings:
Can you describe their ideal growing conditions? I might be interested if I have a suitable space. |
Mine are planted in well draining soil. I wouldn't recommend planting these in heavy clay soil without amending the clay with a good draining soil/compost. They LOVE water and lots of sun. A minimum of 6hrs of direct sunlight to make them bloom like crazy. They'll do well in shade as well but they won't bloom that much. Mine are planted on the north side of my house but they get quite a lot of sun. Possibly 8hrs+ of direct sun light. Just keep the soil moist throughout the growing season. Mulch will help a lot to keep the soil nice and moist. They might tolerate a bit of dry period, but I don't recommend it because it'll toast their big leaves. The coldest it got this winter so far in my area was 31-32f and it didn't hurt them at all. I had some other type of canna last year that lost all of its leaves when it dipped to 28f in late febuary, but it just grew back again in spring. If they do die back from freezing temps though don't keep the rhizome in wet soil, or you'll risk rotting them. You can dig them out easily and store them in a cool dry place and replant them again when any danger of frost is gone. They'll do well in containers as well, but you'll need to water them more if you're going to give them lots of sun exposure. |
i'm interestd where are you located? i'm in good year i have a perfect spot right by my pool equipment on the north east corner of my house |
I live in Glendale. around 48th ave and Peoria send me an email here so I can send you my address. firstname.lastname@example.com |
Oh and I almost forgot. I also have a 6x6 ft raised bed that I don't need anymore. If anyone wants it, I'm selling it for $25 |
and pretty plumies in front of your cannas!! |
I wish I would live closer to you ! I'm all the way in Chandler and can't drive all the way to Glendale . |

Hello, Do you still have any of these Cannas. We would be willing to buy what ever you have left. Daniel email@example.com |
Yes, I still got plenty. I haven't even divided up the other clumps since I ran out of plastic pots. How many do you want? |
- Posted by waterbug_guy Phoenix AZ (My Page) on Wed, Feb 29, 12 at 1:09
This is the first I'd heard of the Canna viruses...ouch...they're my fav flower. I just started growing them again after not growing any for the past 8 years. Pretty sad. Thanks for the info. |

Just thought you might like this photo (sorry for the damage on the right hand leaf, we've recently had devastating hail/storms here) .. a canna I bought .. the seller listed it as 'Bengal Tiger' or 'Pretoria' .. it is 'Bethany' & is in fact a naturally occurring mutation of the above (as they are the same & the name 'Tropicanna Gold' has become the Registered name). 'BETHANY' is acknowleged as being a separate variety. The main variation characteristic is that 'Bethany' has this particular bi-toned flower, rather than orange. They grow the same height & have no visible differences with the colour of foliage .. although mine sometimes does have some wider white strips in leaf patterns. The inaccuracy of retailers with names of cannas is frustrating .. I think they should all bear the name they were first given, rather than what the 'new' hybridizers/retailers select to call them or register them as .. so many of them 'laying claim' to so many cannas being 'theirs'. eg. 'Frau Gartenberg' being sold in Aust. as 'Garton Baudie' Dianne@Fleu De Lis Cannas. |

Braised coconut spinach with chickpeas and lemon [Vegan] Jaymi's Notes:This was an iffy recipe for me, so when I sat down with a hot bowl of the braised coconut spinach loaded up with sundried tomatoes and chickpeas, all I could say was, "Wow!
" I wasn't sure what to think with this mix of ingredients, especially the coconut milk which is not usually something I have in meals at home or in restaurants. And while my partner kept her doubts to herself, she did let me know afterwards (as she was happily gobbling down a bowlful next to me) that she was surprised at how delicious it turned out to be. The dish is both sweet and tangy, with the strong flavor mellowed out by the blander chickpeas and spinach. Sundried tomatoes add a great twist to the texture and a different quality of sweet than the coconut milk, making the flavor all the more complex. Golden Beet Borscht. There are many variations of borscht… some have cabbage, some meat, but nearly all have beautiful red beets.
Until now. Truthfully, I find the deep purplish-red color of traditional borscht absolutely stunning. In spring and fall though, bright golden beets fill the markets, so I just couldn't resist some golden beet borscht… something new and different.
