I love smoked brisket. My husband says you definitely need a smoker/grill, and it will probably take all day, or overnight. The instructions with the smoker should tell you how to smoke it to perfection. We just smoked a turkey a few days ago, and are looking for a brisket for the next event. Jan |
For a large brisket like that figure on one hour per pound using indirect heat. At no time should the temperature exceed 250, and 225 is better. Start by using a rub on both sides. There are numerous recipes; personally I like it Texas style. Apply the rub to both sides of the room-temperature brisket and let it sit for at least a half hour. Meanwhile, get your grill ready. If you do not have a side cooker, prepare your coals the normal way, but don't use too many at once. Depending on your grill, as few as six coals is fine. When covered with gray ash, more them to the sides of the grill, spacing them equally if it's round, or dividing them half & half if rectangular. Put the meat in the center of the grill, cover, and let the heat build up. Periodically add soaked hardwood chips to create smoke. And keep replenishing the coals. I also like to use a mopping sauce the last few hours, my favorite bing a Tennessee Mop I learned from some people who do pig roasts. When done, remove from grill, wrap in aluminum foil, and let rest a half hour or so. |
Brisket is one of our favorites on the smoker. We cheat a bit and take advantage of the oven some, but the meat always turns out tender and tasty. We generally cook our meat on a Friday night, for a Saturday dinner, so that's how I am writing up my instructions. 1. The night before (thursday night) you plan to smoke the brisket, season with a dry rub and wrap meat in a plastic bag. We've actually used a cajun or greek seasoning rub before...both are good...as well a a bbq rub. Refrigertate until about 1 hour before placing on smoker. 2. Friday night: smoke meat at a temp of 225-250 for about 2 hours. Place meat in an aluminum pan, cover pan with foil and place back on the smoker/grill for another 2-3 hours. (We start around 5pm, place in pan aroun 7:30). Around 10:30-11pm, I will preheat the oven to 200 degrees, pull the aluminum pan with meat off the smoker and place in the oven. (pan should still be covered with foil). 3. Allow the meat to cook in the oven all night, and part of the next day. We generally remove it from the oven around noon (Saturday), sometimes as late as 1pm. 4. Remove the meat from the pan and wrap it in foil. Now comes the unusual part: Take the foil wrapped brisket and wrap it in layers of newspaper until you feel very little heat coming through. Line the bottom of an ice chest (cooler) with crumpled newspaper. Put the wrapped brisket on top and pack the chest with more paper. 5. When it's time to serve dinner, remove the meat from the cooler and carve. It will still be hot...remember, newspaper is a great insulator!! Brisket cooks best with low temps and long hours. This method gives the meat the smokey flavor but eliminates the need to attend the grill for such a long time...and it's EASY!!!! IT's a method that has never failed us...the meat is tender and juicy. And the best part is that it's done...I have Saturday to do what ever else I need to do...clean, prepare side dishes, etc. v. |
One thing I forgot to add....place your brisket fat side up on the smoker and in the pan. This allows the fat to "melt" through the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful. v. |
>we want to bbq it...< Just because I'm in a fey mood: Barbecue is what you put in your mouth, Linda. The stuff that comes out of the smoker or off the grill. It is not a verb. The act of making barbecue is grilling or smoking. You a southeren lady now, Darlin'. Y'all should know that. ;>) |

ok, what ever i want it smoked so, we went out today and purchased a smoker my husband is going in for surgery tomorrow morning at 8 am' |
Is there a way to BBQ brisket in the crock pot? I have made it in the oven, it cooks for 4 hours and tastes great, but having the oven on heats up the house too much. How could I do this in the crock pot? Or is it possible? |
- Posted by linda_intennessee (email@example.com) on Thu, Mar 29, 07 at 13:35
sure you can, if you have a large crockpot. my brisket is 13 pounds........ and i want it smoked...... but you can cook a brisket like a pot roast... crockpot brisket Directions Trim fat from brisket. Heat oil in a large frying pan. Over medium-high until hot, brown brisket on all sides. Place carrots, onion and potatoes in crockpot. Sprinkle tapioca over top of vegetables. Add browned brisket. Combine wine and remaining ingredients. Pour over top of brisket. Cover with lid and Cook on High for 4 1/2 to 5 hours or on LOW for 8 hours. The tapioca will thicken the liquid to make its own gravy. |

That is true. Remember I started this because I was surprised that I could not already find "The Rubberman Guide". I am not saying I am going to write one. I might like too but in the middle of this dratted recession and with a 1000 different ways to work and not be paid?
My take on The Rubberman Guide would take seriously at some stage what you say. My short answer is that to a degree all religious/spiritual thinking is fantastical. It may/may not encounter truth. The sure answer will be gotten when we die. In the meantime a good answer is The Golden Rule and does becoming a Rubberman help that? For sure I think it can but equally there are rubbermen who are nothing but bullies. My golden rule is slightly rewritten: "in this life do not bully, do not lie". Now I would be lying if I did not admit I have become a rubberman. Rubber has a far greater impact on my life than I could ever have imagined when I donned my first pair of sheath briefs. Strangely enough the old latexa advert has proved to be exactly right "promises unimaginable pleasure". Through rubber I have known an unimaginable pleasure in this earthly life. That may be all there is to it and I will accept that. Maybe there is more? I can honestly say I do not know. But I know this, for me rubberism has never meant becoming a bully. Quite the reverse. It has enhanced submissive tendencies that may have been there anyway. I find it much more easy to surrender when in rubber.

Readers of this blog and farm visitors may have guessed this by now, but Dan and I love old stuff. Honestly, when I look at a list of events for a "living history" festival, usually the only activity I haven't tried my hand at is spinning wool (although I would love a spinning wheel...it's on the buy-it-someday list!) I guess it's because we truly live history every day here at the farm...it kind of comes with the territory when you choose to work horses. But in addition to that, we just love being as self-sufficient as possible, and that frequently means doing things the old-fashioned way, whether it means making gate latches in the blacksmith shop or preserving food the way our grandmothers would have.
Many times, the best tools are the old ones. So, not surprisingly, we would much rather shop at an auction or flea market than the mall or Wal-Mart. Besides the utility, the old stuff has character. They are things that were made to last, made with pride by real American craftsmen (and women!), not disposable junk from some sweatshop overseas. Preserving this stuff, along with the knowledge of how to use it, is an incredible honor. A few weeks ago, we spent the day at a rather large area flea market. Dan was looking for specific items for the blacksmith shop, like vices and hammers. I had some cash in my pocket just for whatever we might come across. I was excited to find some glass beads that looked like they had been taken off an old chandelier, as I have a stained glass project I'd like to try which calls for them. Then I came across a very reasonably priced trunk. For some reason, I have a weakness for old trunks, and picked this one up. I'd like to try my hand at restoring it over the winter, cleaning up the metal parts and replacing the dry-rotted leather straps and handles. Dan found some tools, and we had a fun day, but had seen most of what was being offered and were heading back to the car with our treasures.
As we were walking back, we walked by a booth that had lots of horse stuff- saddles, saddle pads, bridles. I need more of that like I need a hole in the head, as I already have eight saddles in the tack room, and only four horses in the barn! But I can't resist looking, and something caught my eye immediately. It was a large, English-type saddle, but with what looked like two horns at the front. It was obviously old and in need of repair work before it would ever be usable, but you could tell it was well made. I had never seen a saddle like this in person before. I asked Dan if he knew what it was, and after giving it some thought, he admitted he was stumped. I knew that what we were looking at was an antique ladies' sidesaddle, the kind women riders would use before it was OK for women to wear pants! I just had to ask what the woman wanted for it. She replied "Make me an offer." I threw out a pretty low figure, not knowing if she put any value on this old saddle, obviously in unusable condition. "I've had far higher offers than that!" she replied. She went on to say that she knew the woman whom the saddle had been made for, that she had gotten it after the woman's death, and that it was over 100 years old. She went on to tell me what she thought she could get for it on eBay, which was far more than I had to spend on a whim.
But then she said how that, more than the money, she just wanted it to go to someone who would appreciate it, who would treasure it, and would care for it like the piece of history that it is. I replied that I understood, as we farm with horses and antique machinery, and that our team is a pair of girls that both were born right here on our farm. "Then you know" she said. "I farm with horses, too. So you obviously know what it means to give something a forever home. That's what I want for this saddle- a forever home with someone who will take care of it." And then she let me have it for about a quarter of what she thought she could get for it on eBay.
I've never ridden sidesaddle, so part of me wanted to take it home and just sit on it, just for a minute, just to see what it felt like. But with the hole Sara's passing has left in the barn, it wasn't possible. Dixie and Dolly are just too tall, it would have touched the ground on Ponyboy, and I wasn't putting it on Montana, since he isn't broke to ride yet. Although he is a sweetheart and likely wouldn't have minded, I'm not ready to trust him with an irreplaceable antique just yet. Regardless, it is something I treasure. I hope to get it professionally restored someday and try it out. It has a stirrup on the left side only, the right leg is placed between the two horns in the front. The seat and the place between the horns was once upholstered. It has billet straps underneath to accommodate an English-type girth. The only thing I'm a bit unsure of are the two straps, the one on the left being just behind the stirrup, and in the same spot on the other side even though there is no stirrup on that side. There are no holes in this strap, but I thought perhaps it held some sort of overgirth, to keep the flaps tight to the horse's body, keeping the woman's dress from getting under the flaps and getting full of sweat & horsehair. But if that were the case, I would expect to see wear marks where the strap would have attached. There are none. My next guess is that they might be for mounting. Getting on a sidesaddle has to be a bit more complicated, so perhaps the one on the left is like a handle for the lady mounting, and the one on the off side would be for a stable hand or riding partner to hold while she got up, so the saddle wouldn't slip off-center. Or maybe they're just decorative, I really don't know. Feel free to leave a comment here if you know more than I about this!
Isn't it a beautiful piece of history? I just love old stuff!

Nov 14, 2012 1:04 PM by Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - A different way of calculating America's poor by taking into account medical costs and work-related expenses finds a higher total than the government's official count.
This measure is aimed at providing a fuller picture of poverty. It found there are 49.7 million poor people in the country - or 16.1 percent of the population. That compares with the 46.2 million, or 15 percent, as reported in September in the Census Bureau's official count.
According to the newly developed measure, those more likely to live in poverty are people 65 or older, urbanites and Hispanics - the result of medical expenses and higher living costs in cities.
California had the highest share of poor people, followed by Arizona and Florida. In the official tally, it's Mississippi, New Mexico and Arizona.

The legendary items will provide a stacking agility bonus that culminates in a combo point cost reduction for finishing moves, increases the damage of finishing moves, and unfurls large black wings that look imposing and destructive. Rogues can also call upon the wings on command to act as a built-in slow fall (or to just pop out the wings to look cool). Check out the official video preview of the Fangs of the Father after the jump.

INSOLVENCY REGULATOR the IPA has reached an agreement with the Solicitors Regulation Authority to handle all complaints made against solicitor insolvency practitioners.
There are currently several regulators of insolvency practitioners including ICAEW, ACCA and ICAS. However, practitioners can also come from a legal background and can be regulated by the Law Society and the Law Society Scotland.
Further reading
The insolvency profession has come under attack in the last year as the complaints process is perceived as too complicated for creditors.
Last year, the Office of Fair Trading investigated the corporate insolvency profession and made several suggestions including the introduction of a single complaints body.
IPA CEO David Kerr, and company secretary of the Insolvency Lawyers Association, said: "It not only works well for the bodies directly concerned, but it represents an important illustration of the ability of regulators to operate in unison where appropriate in the public interest.
"It is vital for professional bodies with an interest in insolvency to be seen to be able to work together effectively and this very clearly demonstrates that it is not only theoretically possible but also achievable in practice."
The latest announcement will be a coup for Kerr (pictured), who earlier this year submitted draft proposals to the Joint Insolvency Committee – part of the government regulatory body the Insolvency Service – to standardise disciplinary procedures across the profession.
There are seven regulatory bodies for the profession, however, each regulator will dish out fines and reprimands differently to one another.
The draft proposals are due for public consultation later this year.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

This should be an easy question to answer, but I'm not finding it so. My experience is that plums, unlike peaches, don't ripen after being picked, neither the hard plums I sometimes buy in the grocery stores, nor the softer plums I buy at the farmers' markets'. The vendors at the farmers' markets all assure me that they continue to ripen. On the internet, I find contrary opinions. Yours? |

Apples and pears have starches that convert to sugar after being picked. Stonefruit do not- they usually soften so you can call this ripening. Many new breeds of stonefruit get up plenty of sugar while still firm to improve storage life- this seems a primary quest of the Zeiger work and other programs seem to be achieving the same goal. Older varieties of plums that I grow have to be soft on the tree to achieve maximum sugar and be what I consider "tree ripe". Even small growers do not find it practical to try to market such soft fruit as it can almost burst from its own weight. |

I have to harvest my plums well before they are ripe or the racoons & squirrels eat them all. Unfortunately, I haven't had good luck w/ ripening them off the tree. They are much sweeter if ripened on the tree. If anyone has found a solution to either the racoon/squirrel issue or the ripening of the tree issue, I'd love to hear it. |

Might 'Zealot' Spark a New Wave of Christian Movie Controversy?
In Development By Adam Bellotto on December 13, 2013 | Comments (3)Jesus was a pretty controversial dude, having appeared on numerous slices of burnt toast, tortillas, and misshapen Cheetos worldwide. He may also have done other things I'm forgetting (although somehow I doubt it). Either way, it comes as no surprise that someone's stepped up to translate Jesus's story for the big screen- it's happened many times before, and now it's happening again. The newest, Christ-iest film now comes from Lionsgate, who just snapped up the rights to Reza Aslan's book, "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth." "Zealot" differs from the usual Jesus-lit in one key area: it portrays Jesus as just one of many Jewish zealots preaching in ancient times- a political revolutionary, but by no means the most popular zealot around (and considerably less popular at the time than his contemporary, John the Baptist). In a statement, Aslan spoke of himself and Lionsgate as two peas in pod, both excited to "illuminate the life of Jesus in a humanistic, as opposed to religious, context." What that translates into, essentially, is a Jesus movie that's not so much about Christianity or any specific faith, and more about a guy just trying to preach at people in ancient times.

Some solid formulas for basic breads, especially sour doughs. Fun non-traditional items, too, like sour dough pancakes, and lots of flat breads. I like other baker's methods for some breads, but this is a good-read and a solid addition to any serious bread-baker's cookbook shelf.
Dec 20, 2008
This is such a well written book...and then it's a cookbook to boot! Yummy, delicious, easy to follow recipes....I could go on and on. I just love the way Mr. Rienhart describes his passion for breadmaking.

This book is a great resource for the serious bread baker or someone who wants to improve their bread making abilities. I highly recommend starting with the easierrecipes and working to more complicated ones. It's a great resource for leaning moreabout bread. I recommend the bagels, they come out great!

Why Can't Young Undocumented Americans Stay?
Earlier this week I was on Facebook and one of my peers from school posted, what I found to be offensive, comments over President Obama's executive order to postpone the deportation of undocumented youth in the United States. To sum up what he said, he felt that undocumented youth should not receive legal status because they are going to take our jobs and use up our welfare. And, he felt that this was going to screw over young hardworking Americans. I will underscore that the person who said this is caucasian, wealthy, and holds conservative views. I respect his position, but I do not agree with him.
I have not been a fan of Obama's policies in the past, such as his fiscal plans, but I stand behind him on his move to delay the deportation of young undocumented Americas. What my peer, ignorantly forgot, was that Obama was not granting amnesty to undocumented youth. He merely, delayed their deportation by two years. In the mean time, undocumented youth can apply for a temporary work permit and remain in the states. My purpose in writing all this is to highlight that I firmly believe that undocumented, who do not pose a security threat or any kind of threat frankly, should be granted legal status. I know I am being a bit radical here, but I would push Obama's order to full legal status. I personally know young undocumented Americans and they just want a piece of the American dream and an education. I do not have the numbers on me now, but how much more will it cost to let these hardworking and self-sacrificing people stay in our country? We are already not using our funds for the right initiatives, so why not channel our money into better social welfare? Oh I know, because corporate bailouts and national defense is more important. Well lets bailout these young Americans who have so much to offer. In this population, we have future doctors, lawyers, engineers, and teachers, but we continue to deny them this opportunity. I should not even say "our" country because we are all here illegally. We are not paying the Native Americans rent for using their land. I'll wrap this up by saying that America is the land of opportunity and that opportunity should not be kept for the privileged in this country. And that's my story.

[OS] ASEAN/MIL/SWITZERLAND - ASEAN to resume direct talks with nuclear weapon states in Aug.

NUSA DUA, Indonesia, July 18, Kyodo
The 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations will resume direct
consultations with five nuclear-weapon states in the first week of August
in Geneva, ending a nearly decade-long suspension of the talks, ASEAN
officials said late Sunday.
The decision was made at the conclusion of the ASEAN Working Group meeting
on Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone Treaty, or SEANWFZ, and the
ASEAN Senior Officials' Working Dinner, which are parts of a series of
ASEAN meeting and its related ones held from July 16-23 in Nusa Dua beach
resort on the Indonesian island of Bali.
According to the officials, nuclear disarmament experts from ASEAN
countries are expected to launch the new round of ''direct informal
consultation'' with the five nuclear-weapon states to resolve outstanding
issues that have barred the nuclear powers from ratifying the 1995 treaty.
The five nuclear-weapon states, simply called P5, are Britain, China,
France, Russia and the United States.
''For the past 10 years, we did not reach yet a common position among the
ASEAN parties to SEANWFZ in preparing the accession of the nuclear weapon
states to the SEANWFZ treaty,'' I Gusti Ngurah Swajaya, Indonesian
permanent representative in ASEAN, told a press conference.
''So, when we achieved a common position, this is really a progress and I
think the P4 -- it was facilitated by the United States to have
consultations among themselves: the United States, Russia, the United
Kingdom and France -- has come out with a non-paper and introduced the
non-paper to ASEAN,'' he added.
The achievement of a common position among the ASEAN nations is a major
step, while talks initiated by the United States among it, Russia, the
United Kingdom and France, would hopefully also yield progress, he added.
China has openly said it is ready to sign the protocol of the treaty.
The treaty binds the members not to develop, manufacture, acquire, possess
or have control over nuclear weapons, nor to station or transport nuclear
weapons by any means.
Its protocol calls on the nuclear-weapon states to respect the status of
the zone and not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against states
party to the treaty. The protocol is open to signing by the five
nuclear-weapon states, but none of them has so far signed.
In their non-paper document submitted to an ASEAN senior officials'
meeting in the Central Java provincial capital Semarang in late June,
Britain, France, Russia and the United States said they want the
obligations in the protocol not to apply to the continental shelves or
exclusive economic zones of states-parties to the treaty.
An ASEAN official said, ''This is the best timing to work out the issue
under the U.S. administration led by President (Barack) Obama and
Secretary of State (Hillary) Clinton,'' adding he hopes the experts ''will
be able to expedite the consultations.''
''For ASEAN countries, we prefer not to amend the treaty as it will
require a lengthy parliamentary process in each member states. We hope to
be able to settle the issue with a political approach,'' the official
The nuclear-weapon states, except China, earlier said they cannot sign the
treaty in its present form, mainly because of the protocol's inclusion of
continental shelves and exclusive economic zones stretching up to 200
nautical miles from the land of signatory states.
In May last year, during the 8th Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
Conference, Clinton said her government was prepared to consult with the
parties to the SEANWFZ in an effort to reach an agreement that would allow
it to sign the protocol.
ASEAN groups Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the
Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

PROVIDENCE — It has been more than a half-century since idealistic young civil rights activists known as Freedom Riders boarded buses during the days of Jim Crow laws and rode through the South in defiance of the cult of segregation, which had been outlawed in interstate travel by U.S. Supreme Court rulings.
Ellen L. Ziskind, now a psychotherapist in Brookline, Mass., remembers it well. She particularly remembers that while she was sitting in a jail cell, one of Mississippi's two Democratic senators — it was either John C. Stennis or John Eastland, she said — "came and looked at us." Whoever it was, she went on, "said that the Supreme Court had nothing to do with the South, that that was a northern thing."
Ziskind and Paul Breines, also a former Freedom Rider and now a retired history professor from Boston College, visited Providence College Thursday evening to tell their stories to a new generation of students.
The riders, of mixed races who sat in seats still reserved for whites, were harassed, attacked and arrested throughout the South.
"You could be non-Jewish and still be called a commie Jew," Breines recalled.
Have race relations changed since then?
"The short answer," said Ziskind, "is that race relations have changed a lot and not at all. Many things are different, including going back to Mississippi and having the prison welcome us back."
That was during the 50th anniversary reunion in 2011, said Breines.
"All of us have feelings of racism inside," Ziskind continued. "I don't act on these feelings. But the culture gets into your cells. Look at Trayvon Martin and the killings in recent months. There was a black motorist who was stranded. He knocks on a door and a white person shoots him. If a white person came to the house, he probably wouldn't be shot."
Do today's young people remember the Freedom Riders?
"Only those who have been exposed in a specific way," Ziskind said. "On the 50th anniversary, some kids took a freedom ride with us. But even black people today don't know what the Freedom Riders were."
Is that a source of frustration?
"I can't say frustrated. It makes me sad," Ziskind said.
"It's heartbreaking," said Breines.
Ziskind said people have a "built-in prejudice between different religions and colors. It has changed and not changed at all."
Breines said one change has come in the education preferences of black students. For decades after the civil rights struggles of the '50s and '60s many black students majored in African-American history.
"I'm always happy to see black students studying history, but they now have no interest in Afro-Am," Breines remarked. "What a transformation! They say, 'I want to study Kaiser Wilhelm, not Afro-American history.'"
One setback to the racial dialogue is the onset of social media, Breines said.
"Now the Twitter world has opened the gates to the most racist comments … ."

There were a half dozen ways Tyra Banks could've eliminated Sarah from America's Next Top Model tonight without making me want to slide down the wall in a (non-hoochie) combination of rage and defeat.
Tyra could've had Sarah standing there before her and explained that after seven weeks in the competition, she had yet to deliver a single photograph in which she resembled a woman whose future involved modeling — for Vogue, forGlamour, for Cosmo, or even for the local penny saver. She could've zeroed in on Sarah's body language in the judging room — shoulders slumped, arms hanging lethargically at her sides, legs planted in knock-kneed apathy — which was all the more depressing when paired with her glum facial expression. Heck, Tyra could've decried Sarah's disastrous decision to show up before the panel in a cacophonous combo of itsy-bitsy gray-plaid shorts and black high heels.
Or better still, our sage host could've smiled with her eyes and broken it down without any pretense whatsoever: ''Look, the so-called plus-size girl never wins Top Model, and, well, we figured this was as good a week as any to send you home. But hey, thanks for playing!''
Unfortunately, though, Sarah's elimination didn't play out in any of the scenarios above. Because it wouldn't be Top Model if someone got sent home for being less photogenic, or less physically attractive, or less articulate, than her competitors. And thus, Sarah got slapped around by the panel for coming into the competition as the plus-size gal, then losing weight and losing her plus-size status but ultimately still being too heavy to compete head-on with her size 0 competition. No wonder the poor woman exited sobbing!
What's crazy to me, aside from the fact that Sarah looked essentially the same size in her ''before'' and ''after'' shots, is the way every elimination has to somehow be connected to the wannabe's ''journey.'' I mean, do the show's producers think that, nine cycles in, we Top Model fans expect anything less than the deliciously superficial? Or is it because Tyra, in her ongoing quest to bridge the gap between theSports Illustrated swimsuit issue and Psychology Today, and prove that a onetime panty model can reinvent herself as the next coming of Dr. Phil, really believes that lessons in pop psychology and graceful crawling (''It's like I'm cleaning the floor — with my knees!'') will turn her ragtag hopefuls into future Gisele Bündchens?
Anyhow, though I wasn't thrilled with the handling of Sarah's exit, her elimination has felt inevitable for weeks. And while she probably deserved to outlast Chantal and Ambreal, isn't it better to get bumped on a week where the only challenge involves serving as a vampire vixen in a low-budget Enrique Iglesias video?
Sure, Sarah looked uncomfortable wearing what she essentially described as a fishnet body stocking with several large holes, but she still outperformed vacuous (yet wildly overconfident) Chantal. I love how director Jessy Terrero's instructions to start ''dancing, just be rocking, having a great time'' prompted Chantal to stand still, stare uncomfortably into the camera as if she were trying to suppress a burp, then meekly raise her glass for a half toast. Add to that her grammatically dubious boast that ''I was gave me this body and this face, like, to do this,'' and it's clear she'll need to do more than follow Tyra's advice to retain her ''sparkle'' and ''shine'' if she plans to last more than another week or two.
Lucky for Chantal, she's got Ambreal to provide a potential buffer for the low spot on next week's totem pole. Personally, I didn't find anything extraordinarily hoochie about Ambreal's shoot — or not any more hoochie than one could help being when one is asked to writhe against a wall and drop it like it's hot. A more pertinent critique of Ambreal might've pointed out that, as per usual, her face had all the expression of an untreated piece of lumber. Also, that unless she undergoes some kind of genetic metamorphosis, she's not really ever going to look model-y.
I know, I know, I'm not a nice person. And I understand how hard it must be for Chantal and Ambreal to give up their dreams in a competition where the front-runner is a head spin, some vomit, and a couple dozen expletives away from being a dead ringer for Linda Blair in The Exorcist. But in Heather's defense, a top model cannot survive on breakfast alone. How come the Top Model crew isn't providing these ladies with lettuce leaves, celery sticks, and water through the duration of their physically grueling shoots?
Still, despite Heather's on-set collapse and need for an oxygen mask (you know that's going to be a key accessory in a photo shoot somewhere around cycle 13), she gave one of the best performances in Enrique's video, and not just because her ripped-from-The Ring look was perfect for the vampirism theme. Based on the intensity of Heather's blood-lusty expressions, in fact, I'd put her in a three-way tie with Saleisha and Lisa as the week's top competitors.

It's a rough and tumble world out there, especially when it comes to dating and relationships. Many of us as children were taught to follow the Ten Commandments, or some version of it, in order to ensure that we become good people or "Leave It To Beaver" neighbors. I can't remember them all off the top of my head, and it would take a real minor miracle for me to recite them all in order, but in general you can't go terribly wrong following them…except when it comes to dating. Maybe the commandments were never intended to cover the tricky navigation of romance, but when you apply the Ten Commandments to dating…oh what a mess you find yourself in! Keep reading »

Boys Basketball: Morgan Park coasts to sectional title
By Tim O'Brien For Sun-Times Media March 8, 2013 10:04PM
Perspectives coach Jevon Mamon (right) and Morgan Park's Nick Irvin embrace after Morgan Park defeated the Warriors. | Mary Beth Nolan~For Sun-Times Media

Updated: April 11, 2013 6:39AM
Sitting in the locker room before the game Friday night, Morgan Park coach Nick Irvin offered his team a simple thought.
"Let's make history tonight," he said.
Winning the program's first-ever sectional title, Morgan Park defeated Perspectives Calumet 67-31 Friday in the Class 3A St. Laurence Sectional title game in Burbank.
"We needed to get over this hump to get our ultimate goal (winning state)," Irvin said. "It feels real good right now."
Kyle Davis scored 22 points and had four steals to lead No. 1 Morgan Park (30-3), which also got double-digit efforts from Josh Cunningham (13 points) and Billy Garrett Jr. (12 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds).
The Mustangs will face Hillcrest, a Friday winner over Rich East, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Joliet Central Supersectional.
Morgan Park has qualified for the state tournament three times, including winning the 1975-76 Class 2A state title, but the Mustangs always advanced as the Public League's state representative.
"This win means a lot for us, especially winning the first sectional title," Garrett Jr. said. "No matter what the score, it feels good. We have to get past this though and move on to Tuesday."
As has been the case so often this season, Morgan Park's defense provided a spark. The Mustangs scored 14 first-half baskets, 10 of them coming on the fast break off steals and defensive rebounding.
Davis scored six points and Cunningham four as Morgan Park went up 13-3 late in the first quarter.
Keeping the pressure up in the second quarter, the Mustangs reeled off a 14-0 run in just over three minutes to go up 29-6. After a Garrett Jr. fast-break floater and one-handed dunk, Davis punctuated the offensive spurt with a fast-break bucket, his fifth basket in the first half.
"Not many people think that Public League teams play defense, but with this team right here, it's what we feed off of," Davis said. "Defense turns into offense. We know we can score on the other end. We just have to lock it down."
Perspectives Calumet (16-12) committed 15 first-half turnovers, 10 in the second quarter, while shooting just 3-of-25 from the field. The Warriors fell behind 33-8 at halftime.
Brandon Taylor scored 13 points for Perspectives Calumet.
Morgan Park was far from sharp offensively Friday night, but the struggles were relative as the Mustangs' athleticism proved to be too much at both ends.
"The main focus since Day 1 has been our defense," Irvin said. "We want to pressure people and get after them. We want to let our defense cause our offense."
Morgan Park and Hillcrest have faced off in the playoffs the past two years. Hillcrest won last season's match-up 59-48 in the sectional championship game.

TODAY'S BOAT BUYER: Edward Taulbee, Grand Banks 42
Posted onEdward Taulbee lives in Lafayette, La., and his married daughter lives in Richmond, Va. He wanted a boat to cruise Chesapeake Bay with — and see his daughter more often.
Taulbee, 55, who is an attorney, earlier this year upsized from a 28-foot custom aluminum offshore center console with twin 150-hp Evinrudes to a 1994 Grand Banks 42 trawler with twin Caterpillar 3208s.
"My wife and I have always loved the water," says Taulbee, "and we wanted something we would be more comfortable cruising on."
He bought Ezduzit in January from Oxford (Md.) Yacht Agency, and it is berthed in the Chesapeake.
John Shannahan, owner of Oxford Yacht Agency, says the asking price was around $300,000, and that the boat had been kept in top condition.
"Grand Banks has a long line of quality associated with them," says Taulbee, who preferred not to disclose what he paid for the boat. "We picked Oxford because they have a long history of selling Grand Banks, and John is very knowledgeable on this brand."
Taulbee had researched Grand Banks for a few years and saw prices dropping with the state of the economy. He began discussions with Shannahan last fall.
"I wanted to take advantage of the slow market," he says. "I figured if I waited, I could save a lot of money."
Taulbee found financing easy to obtain when he began researching his options, but he declined to discuss whether he financed the vessel or not. "I can tell you it's not hard to finance a boat. It's easier than buying a house," he says.
Taulbee says he is excited at the opportunity to explore the Chesapeake and see his daughter more often.
"We really don't have any exposure to East Coast cruising," he says. "It'll be a new experience for us."

I'm not sure if rotting is the right word for it, but I have had several zucchini that will grow quite large in length, 6 or 7 inches, and be quite large at the base, about as big around as an egg, but the large part is only about 2 inches up. The remaining 4 or 5 inches will stay rather slim and will turn mushy and then go yellow and rot away starting at the blossom end. They never get quite big enough to eat, although I have gone ahead and picked some before they get too mushy, cut off the soft part and use the rest. Can anyone tell me what would cause this? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
According to this thread... http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cornucop/msg071354436393.html your problem is a lack of pollination caused by a lack of bees. |
I thought the fruit would fall off or be deformed with incomplete pollination. To me it sounds more like Blossom End Rot (BER) caused by poor calcium uptake within the plant. The soil could have adequate calcium (confirm with soil test) which may not be getting into the plant because of too little or too much water. Yea the happy balance thingy. Use your finger to test the moisture in the soil. Just keep in mind where the plant it taking in nutrients could be 3-4ft away from the stem. Lime takes months to work in the soil. But you could try adding powdered lime 4-5 feet circumference around the plant, water in well then mulch around the plant to keep moisture level consistent, water again. I've never tried it but you could try a foliar spray on the leaves with milk (or half/half) & compost tea if you have it to see if that helps. The milk is sposed to help with powdery mildew too. If you don't use compost/manure tea, I would certainly start using it to water the plants. Just keep a journal of what you have tried, cuz if you are like me, you will forget what you did then you won't know what worked or what didn't. HTH, |
I don't really think it's lack of pollination either since I have some tiny ones that turn and fall off too and those would be that. These get long, but only big around on the stem end and then the skinny blossom end starts rotting away. I did some searches on BER and I do think that may be it. Some of what I saw talked about too much nitrogen in the soil makes all the calcium go to the leaves and not enough to the fruit. Since I planted in pure compost, maybe it's just too rich? I've mentioned before that the plants are HUGE, with leaves over 18" across. I think next year I'll mix topsoil into the soil. While it sure made stuff grow, I think I know now why pure compost isn't the best. I'll try that milk thing too. Can't hurt! Thanks! |
Alys, it depends on what is in the compost. If the compost is created from at least five different source materials, then it is a minimally healthy blend. If you are only using compost from limited sources, then the plants do not hae a balanced diet. Compost will never be "too rich", unlike commercial fertilizers which can burn the plants, etc. With compost, the plants take what they can use, it's as simple as that. Carrots are good for humans but if the only thing you ate were carrots, your skin would turn yellow (this phenomenon, which is called Carotenemia) and you'd have severe vitamin deficiencies from lack of eating from other sources. The problem may not be a calcium deficiency, BER can occur from over watering as well as under watering. High humidity can cause BER. Over use of commercial fertilizers over the years can cause BER. Planting the wrong variety of squash can cause BER. Next time look for resistant varieties. |
I can't imagine finished compost being overly rich in N. Compost should be perfectly balanced and I start my seeds in "My Compost" but I know what goes into "My Compost". You should not have any problems growing in pure compost, Ma Nature does it every year. Have you heard the words soil test before? Sure would save a bunch of frustration, time, and money. But as mentioned water or lack of water can also contribute to the problem. Water moves calcium through the soil. Squash and tomatoes seem to be sensitive to BER, if that's what it is. Mulch, Mulch, Mulch, Leaves, Leaves, Leaves. Shredded is better but not required. HTH, |
I say it's pollination. There's always a certain percentage of female blossoms that simply wilt before blooming, but what you describe is a pollination problem. Try hand pollinating and see if you lose any after that. |

could be blossom end rot, or sqaush bugs/vine borer. I had the same problem. thought it was blossom end rot so i put egg shells, mulched, etc. But it turned out to be a pest that is inside the plant. You will be able to tell if u google it and see the tell-tale signs. |

I don't think the rotting zucchini is due to lack of pollination. If the blossom doesn't get pollinated it doesn't produce fruit at all. |
I live in the San Bernardino area of Southern California. It has been very hot and very humid over the past week or two. I just removed several zucchini, 2 to 3 inches long, with BER. Mine are growing in Earthboxes with a filtered automatic watering system. I added the appropriate amount of dolomite and fertilizer to the organic soil prior to planting and have taken several healthy zucchini from the 2 plants. I have tons of bees, and only my zucchini were affected. In my case I don't think it's a pollination problem, yo-yo watering or a soil deficiency. It has to be the extreme muggy weather we've been having. |

I live in Kyoto prefecture, Japan, and am having exactly the same experience with zucchini as ALYS. It is rainy season here and mild. The leaves are huge and there are a number of flowers - many of which are not forming fruit which I guess is a pollination issue - those that are forming - the ones that have firm flowers - are fine. Those which have rotten flowers are, quite logically, rotting from the flower end. Despite any soil deficiencies, I think this is likely to be simply a issue of prolonged wet weather? |
Having read the article I mentioned to my wife that the Zucchini rotting was probably due to calcium deficiency. She suggested calcium tablets, so I have dissolved two tablets in water and fed it to the plant on two occasions.and it seems to work. |

I was in Hawaii and my daughter was in charge of watering end of may, first week of june. She kept the plants alive.....just. The first several zuks showed signs of BER, then when I got home and consistant watering started happening, I started getting PLENTY! (want some?) I know pollination wasn't a problem, cause with my herb garden right across the path and herbs interspersed within the garden I have PLENTY of bees! And GUMBY "Have the words soil test before" sounds a bit rude to me. It's not always possible or affordable! I have 10 different raised beds that may have 10 different soil mixtures in them. CA no longer does the cheap soil tests and sending off 10 soil samples could run a couple hundred $$! That doesn't make my veges more affordable! Nancy |
