Hi -
My very good friend is undergoing chemo and radiation for lung cancer (she is not a smoker). She loves to cook and is excellent at it, but is much too tired and not feeling well enough now to do much now. Her husband has gotten take out for them a few times and she said that she made some soup. I want to take her some meals now and then so that they don't have to think about it. Do you have recipes for things that I can make at home and transport to her the next day, for heating up when they want? I'm not looking for things that she can put in the freezer and use later, as she doesn't like to do that (doesn't use the freezer much). Just some things that I, as a "not-as-good-a-cook-as-her-by-any-means" could make to help out. Veggie sides, main dishes, etc. She said that she doesn't have the metallic taste in her mouth (yet), but that things don't taste as good as before she started treatment. Many thanks - Suzieque |

soups.....home made by you would be good. Cream of mushroom soup, Italian wedding soup chicken noodle with home made broth. Or things like a flan or a nice dish of custard, fruit salad maybe? Linda C |

Potato soup, chicken and dumplings, PA Dutch Chicken Corn Soup, Barley Vegetable Soup, a chicken and dressing casserole, rice pudding, tapioca pudding, corn pudding, apple crisp, baked custard, and any favorite creamy casserole, potato, or rice dish. I think I would stay away from tomato sauces, citrus fruits, and anything acidic like marinated vegetable salads until you can ask her opinion on those. Barley Vegetable Soup 3/4 cup pearl barley Put in a pot, bring to a boil and simmer 1 hr. until liquid is absorbed. 3 TB butter Cook vegetables gently in butter 5 minutes or until soft. Add the chicken broth and simmer 30 min. Add the barley and simmer 5 more min. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls - garnish with a dollop of sour cream and chopped parsley if desired. I sometimes add 1 can of cr. mushroom or cr. celery soup to this recipe to make it a cream version. Honey Custard - from Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine 3 eggs Beat eggs well in a large bowl. Add honey and salt, beating well. Add milk and mix well. Add extract and rind. Pour into 5 or 6 greased custard cups or a 1 1/2 qt. casserole. Sprinkle nutmeg on top. Bake in a water bath for 45 minutes at 350 F. Basic Cup Custard serves 4 2 cups milk Blend all except nutmeg. Pour into 4 greased custard cups. Set cups in a pan of water and bake at 350 F for 30 min. Chicken Corn Soup Submitted By: Teresa Prep Time: 30 Minutes 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped Directions: ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © 2009 Allrecipes.com Printed from Allrecipes.com 1/16/2009 |
Sounds great! And I agree about what you (teresa) advised to stay away from. Thanks for the recipes; I will start with one this weekend and take it to her. And LindaC, I'll bet that flan or custard would go down easily and hit the spot. (Flan is one of my own favorite desserts!). Thanks, ladies. Suzieque |
When I was doing the chemo thing....my brain wanted lots of things my mouth didn't like. Both from the burn from the chemo....and the strange taste thing. I felt well enough to cook and would frequently get a wild hair that I had to have..... And spend 1/2 a day making it, only to find out it didn't taste good at all! Once I remember having a huge yen for canned tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches made with white bread and Velveeta. Always my idea of what NOT to eat....but I had a huge longing....so I went to the store, bought white bread, canned souop and Velveeta..... I hated it! LOL! Another time I wanted chicken a la king on a biscuit....so I bought chicken and amde biscuits etc.....and didn't like that either. I also had a huge hankering for Margaritas....huge!! couldn't get them out of my mind! The salt on the glass hurt my mouth, the tequila made me woozy and the lime hurt my mouth and upset my stomach....but I had the yen all through out. I combatted it by buying the mix and sipping very slowly... So find out what she wants before cooking....you just might be able to strike a chord. Linda C |

These go really well with soup and the Barley Soup posted above sounds like a good one. Our favorite: 2c flour 1/2c sugar 2 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1 egg, well beaten 1c milk 1/3c salad oil 1 tsp almond extract 1c fresh or frozen blueberries or cranberries Combine dry ingredients and whisk well. Combine egg, milk, oil, and extract. Fold wet ingredients quickly into dry til just blended. Gently fold in berries. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full and bake in preheated 400° oven for 25 minutes or til test done. Yield:12 muffins. |

Horween x Reebok Classic Leather Lux – Black by Zack Schlemmer 1 Comments
May 13, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 5
There's a bit of new info available on the new Solebox x Reebok Classic Leather creation. Shown here are the sneakers, which are apparently inspired by the Sturnella Militaris, an animal known more commonly as the Red-breasted Blackbird. Indeed it's a very red and black pair, with suede and leather splitting the difference between those two colors across the upper. Solebox themselves will have just 100 pairs, which will release on May 25th for 110 euros. Stay tuned for release info for the rest of the globe and let us know in the comments if you're after a pair.

Review: Secret Message for Mac creates and reveals hidden messages
Create and send hidden messages within plain text messages using this free secret message creator and decoder.
Secret Message for Mac's streamlined interface makes it an ideal application for children to send and receive secret messages. A useful Help file and good performance also contribute to the overall appeal of this entertaining application.
Secret Message for Mac unzips and opens directly to the program's interface. The menu bar options are basic, allowing users to check for updates, or consult the valuable Help section. The application's interface is quite basic with a text box for users to compose a plain message and a secret message, followed by a selection of radio buttons where users may save messages, load messages, see secrets, clear all, or support the developer. Users compose secret messages by first typing a message in the plain message box, then users type their secret message, of up to 75 characters, in the black text box labeled secret message. The application outputs a PNG image file of the plain text message to the desktop. Users wanting to read the secret message contained within the image file should just click the load message radio button in the application interface and navigate their mouse over the see secret button to reveal the hidden message. The application performed without fail and was a lot of fun.
Secret Message for Mac is a free application suitable for children or any other user looking to have fun by sending coded messages.

Last month, I placed an order with wholesale shoe seller, Lovely Shoes. These boots were one of four pairs that I got and unfortunately, I neglected to go a size up. When it comes to boots, I think it's always best to go one size bigger to give room for socks and space for your toes to wiggle around.
Several people expressed interest in buying these boots from me but honestly, I would feel bad taking anyone's money for these. While Lovely Shoes offers really cute and trendy shoes for cheap (this pair was 20USD), the quality is kind of dodgy and questionable. They're definitely not for walking.
So I'm giving away this pair!

Russian filmmakers might get lucky finding new state-supported financing for their projects. Culture minister Vladimir Medisnky has gotten the go-ahead to establish five new lotteries with the prupose of raising $120 million annually over the next five years. The funds would benefit film, arts, libraries, tourism and youth programs. The Hollywood Reporter presented this news, citing a report from Russian business publication Kommersant.
The announcement comes shortly after Russia's move to outlaw private lotteries, leaving a clear path for the state to benefit from the contests. This system would, in theory, mimic a similar lottery funding program already in effect in the United Kingdom.
Superman was no match against the monsters at the Russian box office. Monsters University claimed the top spot on the top ten chart with a $7.6 million opening weekend. The performance of the Pixar sequel overshadowed the opening weekend of Man of Steel. The Superman reboot fell short against Monsters University by only grossing $5.8 million in its debut despite playing in nearly three hundred more screens than the animated film.
Now You See Me continued its great run in Russia after breaking the $15 million mark in its second weekend. The magic caper film dropped 66% in its second frame for a $2.7 million gross. The film is on track to overtake more high profile releases like After Earth ($16.5M in three weeks) and The Great Gatsby ($16.7M in six weeks).
Box Office Results for Russia. Weekend of June 21-23, 2013
Now You See Me made a big splash in Russia, opening mid-week to a $10.3 million total. The magic caper grossed $8.1 million of that figure over the weekend across 914 screens, leading the market with an impressive $8,935 per-screen average.
The Internship opened in third place with a performance comparable to other recent Hollywood comedies like Couples Retreat, The Other Guys, and Horrible Bosses. The Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson comedy's $1 million opening weekend won't be considered a disappointment, but stands in stark contrast to the overwhelming success that The Hangover Part III has had in Russia. The last entry in The Hangover trilogy has taken in $16.8 million after three weeks in release.
After Earth fell 64% in its sophomore frame for a $2.7 million weekend. Russia ranks among the best performing markets for the sci-fi film, responsible for roughly 16% of its current $91.1 million overseas gross.
Other Hollywood hits currently in release in Russia include Epic ($14M in 3 weeks) and The Great Gatsby ($16.6M in 5 weeks).
Box Office Results for Russia. Weekend of June 14-16, 2013.
Follow Daniel Loria and BoxOffice on Twitter for more news on the global box office
After Earth might not be turning heads in North America, but it is putting in a strong performance in Russia. The father-son sci-fi vehicle of Will and Jaden Smith grossed $2.6 million over the weekend to take its Russian cume to a strong $14.7 million total. It comes as a breath of fresh air for the M Night Shyamalan's troubled tentpole, which will have to rely on an overseas push to mitigate the damage coming from the North American box office. The rapid rise to $14 million is noteworthy when compared to the steady run of The Great Gatsby; the Baz Luhrman adaptation has grossed a total of $16.7 million in Russia.
The Internship opened in 754 screens in Russia but failed to capture a portion of the success that The Hangover Part III has had in the country. The Internship grossed $1.4 million in its opening weekend, comparable to the performance of other Hollywood comedies like Horrible Bosses, Couples Retreat, and The Other Guys. The opening weekend for The Internship isn't technically a disappointment but won't go anywhere near the blockbuster success of The Hangover Part III. The last installment in The Hangover franchise grossed $867k over the weekend, taking its total in Russia to $16.7 million.
Epic added another $1 million during its third weekend in Russia, taking its total in the market to $14 million. The animated film has grossed $119 million overseas, making Russia responsible for nearly 10% of its current performance outside of North America.
Sports biopic Legend No. 17 is the highest grossing Russian film of all time, according to a report from Film Journal International. The hockey film detailing the life of Soviet ace Valery Kharlamov surpassed the $27.5 million tally from the previous record holder, Peter Buslov's Vysotsky: Thank God I'm Alive. Both films are biopics about celebrated Russian figures, an indication of the sort of films that Russian audiences respond to. An upcoming mega-production, the WW2 era historical epic Stalingrad, will be the first Russian film to be released in IMAX 3D, with Sony Pictures International taking over the distribution duties in the territory. If the big budget spectacle can deliver upon its domestic release, it might pose a serious threat to the longevity of Legend No. 17 as the historical title holder atop the Russian box office
Legend No. 17 has grossed over $29 million after eight weeks in release in Russia. Last weekend was the first time the sports film placed outside of the top ten after seven consecutive weekends.

This year, Holiday Open House will celebrate its sixth consecutive year of operation. It is sponsored by a group of community members who feel people should not have to be alone during the holidays.
When I was younger, I was a big fan of winter. Like most children, I looked forward to the first snow of the year with great anticipation and could not wait until it was time to put up Christmas decorations. I'm still not exactly sure why, but some time between my sixth grade year and my junior year of high school, my opinions about winter changed.
'Swonderful to hear a medley of Gershwin show tunes. 'Smarvelous to hear Nita Lujan sing "My Man's Gone Now" from Gershwin's opera, "Porgy and Bess."
Other favorites, including Christmas songs, will set toes tapping when the Highlands Department of Music's Jazz Choir presents "Gershwin and More" on Friday, Dec. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in Ilfeld Auditorium. Andr Garca-Nuthmann will direct with Elizabeth Bunch at the piano and Mike Campbell on drums.
Not all of us love celebrities, but many of us do. For reasons we can't explain, it means a lot to us when we see one in person, whether on accident or not. A recent brush with fame has me thinking about this quite a bit. Here's what happened:
All good things must come to an end, so they say, and so the 17-year association between accompanist Elizabeth Bunch and the New Mexico Highlands University Choirs directed by Andre Garcia-Nuthmann end on Sunday. Elizabeth and her husband, pediatrician Dr. George Bunch, are moving to California to be near children and grandchildren.
What do you get when you have 20 fingers, two hands, 88 keys, and the brains and talent of two concert pianists? You get wonderful music and that's what you'll get on Saturday, Dec. 8, at 3 pm at First United Presbyterian Church, in "A Little Light Music." "A Little Light Music" is presented by the Nat Gold Players and is a benefit for the NGP lighting system.
Red clay barracks crumble in the ceaseless winds enveloping Fort Union National Monument. The wind is older than the clay.
It pushed itself against the first sentry tower, against the legions of horse and men protecting the prairie. Wagon ruts meander over the gently rolling landscape, face the wind with earth scarred, defiant. The clay holds mystery, holds the almost forgotten memory of man against man.
Snow swirled around around the darkened street lamps during last year's electric light parade. Las Vegas families bundled in heavy coats and scarves waited along Carnegie Library park, faces red from the biting cold.
Floats made from ranch flatbeds, from carefully waxed pickup trucks loaded with twinkle light-encrusted twisted wire crawled the parade route, accompanied by holiday music. Sara Martinez, 9, grabbed the mittened hand of a friend and leaned into the street, as if her anticipation could pull Santa's sleigh closer.
A performance by the Highlands University Jazz Choir directed by Andr Garca-Nuthmann will highlight an open house at the City of Las Vegas Museum and the launching of the Friends of the Museum's new endowment campaign. The public is invited and can view special collections of the museum that are not currently on display.
Ilfeld Auditorium will resonate with the spirited music of the NMHU Marching Band and Jazz Ensemble in a concert on Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. Featured pieces include "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Conquistador," and big band arrangements "Quintado" and "The Heat's On."
Andre Garcia-Nuthmann's voice swells with pride when he speaks of his choirs.
"Last Spring we did a huge Vivaldi concert with the Santa Fe Symphony. We performed this summer at the National Hispanic Center in Albuquerque, again with the Santa Fe Symphony, and we travelled to Europe to perform at the Classical Music Festival celebrating Haydn's 275th Birthday. Every year we just get better and better. And all of this is due to our incredibly loyal community members."
Most of us who were born in Las Vegas never leave the area. Trips to Albuquerque and Denver normally shape the edge of the world we live in. But I have discovered that places like Mexico, Europe and Japan are not that far away and you should take advantage. Start finding out about the programs with your counselor at school. He or she can show you programs that help you experience Washington, D.C., for week-long seminar or live with a family in Denmark. Rotary and People to People Student Ambassador have international exchange programs.
Eleven teenagers swayed in formation on the carpeted floor of the United World College Student Center. Their bodies dipped low, hips rocking to an a cappella beat. Their audience — a group of 20 local middle school students — watched, eyes wide, surprised to hear young men and women chant about a subject usually taboo.
"We're rapping, we're rapping, and you should, too! Wearing a condom will help protect you!"
I've heard it said that all small towns are alike. Generally, I disagree. Towns, because they are made up of the people who live in them, are very much like people themselves. Each one has its own personality.
Laura Swartz lifted her arm parallel to floor. A red-tailed hawk dug into her denim shirt. The steady arch of his beak feigned nonchalance, but his eyes captured every tiny motion in the room.
Swartz wore a heavy canvas glove for protection. Her movements were sure, rehearsed. She spread the hawk's right wing. An audience of forty Las Vegas residents leaned forward to examine the raptor's plumage.
The Highlands University Department of Music will present "Songs of Hispania" in Ilfeld Auditorium on December 2 at 3 p.m. Andr Garca-Nuthmann will conduct the Madrigal Choir with Elizabeth Bunch at the piano.
The chorus will begin with a group of haunting and rhythmic Sephardic folksongs sung in Ladino, the dialect spoken by Spanish Jews. Next, the choir will perform "Miserere" by Gregorio Allegri, and then finish the program with three lively songs in Spanish.
In the midst of dark, war-torn 1939, artist Marc Chagall feared his days were numbered. The Nazis marched toward Paris, toward the small enclave of artists and intellectuals housing the middle-aged Russian Jew. Chagall hid his works as best he could; he placed his etchings on Biblical themes — the beginnings of a series he started after a visit to Palestine — in a locked trunk and shipped them to a Swiss friend.
Billie Mathews' sixth grade class listened attentively as Si Khan addressed the Rio Gallinas School student assembly.
"Each of us has a voice. What we do with that voice is up to each one of us. Will you use your voice for good? To make a difference in the world? Only you can answer that question." Khan arched his left fingers in a minor chord before launching into the next song. "My heart tells me you will all use your voices for good."
The gossipers. The whisperers. Whatever you want to call them, they're inevitable. The butter these people churn is everywhere we turn and even when we don't realize it.
What I do realize though, is that being a subject to gossip is one of the sacrifices one makes when living in a small town. It comes with the territory. Anyone who is somebody is going to be talked about and they just have to accept it. Even the nobodies are talked about; it's unavoidable.
Nancy Bohm held a warm cup of chai tea. She glanced at a painting splashed in hues of rich reds, the black of midnight. It hung, heavy, against an off-white wall. The fierce bodies of stag, antlers angled in flight, seemed to leap from the paint, as if the canvas caught fire.

China to send its first female astronaut into orbit (+video)
The crew of China's Shenzhou 9 space docking mission to its prototype space station includes Liu Yang, the country's first woman to fly in space.
China has unveiled the three-person crew for its first manned docking spaceflight set to launch Saturday (June 16) — a mission that will send the country's first female astronaut into orbit in the process.
The crew of China's Shenzhou 9 space docking mission met reporters today (June 15) at the country's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center ahead of Saturday's planned launch at 6:37 p.m. local time (6:37 a.m. EDT or 1037 GMT). The three astronauts, or taikonauts as China's spaceflyers are known, include male crewmembers Jing Haipeng, Liu Wang and the country's first woman to fly in space: the 34-year-old Liu Yang.
"I am grateful to the motherland and the people," Liu Yang said in a press conference according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. "I feel honored to fly into space on behalf of hundreds of millions of female Chinese citizens."
Liu and her crewmates will blast off atop a Long March 2F rocket and fly their Shenzhou 9 space capsule to China's Tiangong 1 laboratory module, which is a prototype space station that has been orbiting Earth since last September. It is China's fourth human spaceflight since 2003 and the first to actually rendezvous with a target in orbit.
The Shenzhou 9 astronauts are expected to perform at least two docking tests, one manual and the other automatic, and spend several days living and working inside the Tiangong 1 lab, said Wu Ping, spokeswoman for the China Manned Space Engineering Office that oversees China's human spaceflight program.

I'm late to this party, but figured why not throw my US$0.02 as well.
In the last 4 months or so, I have more or less abandoned my only partially-successful attempts to be any kind of sound designer or synthesist, and have instead gone "back to basics", studying theory and technique, using "classic" sounds and patches. And, incidentally, getting lots of work doing that too. So, basically, I'm relying on the old workhorses like Rhodes, Clavinet (thanks Fons for the auto-wah!), Hammond B3, and that fantastic PMI Steinway piano for LinuxSampler (thanks Julien for the tip!).
I did a gig Tuesday night where I played the (real, not synthesized) B3 almost all night. It's a fascinating and deep instrument, totally analog, and I'm finding I'm only beginning to discover its possibilities.
Last night I worked as a side-man and played Rhodes and Clav most of the night, occasionally firing up AZR-3 on a couple tunes and a Vox Continental soundfont for a Fela-like Afrobeat song (haven't tried Connie yet, but will).
The Steinway piano Gigasample is also very deep and there are lots of subtleties I'm learning for the first time to hear, let alone how to actually control and use (having only in the last few months started to take piano lessons).
So, in short, not everyone is a synthesist or a sound designer. I'm very glad that those who are good at it publish and share (or sell, in the case of Gigasamples) their patches for others to use. Presets-- and databases of patches, samples, and instruments-- are essential for those of us who are just playing instruments rather than designing them.

A 3-D computer-animated television special based on the series of Miss Spider children's books, written and illustrated by David Kirk.
"It's good to do projects like this because it allows me to still be creative," said a nearly seven-months-pregnant Brooke Shields, the voice of Miss Spider.
"The hardest thing, I think, for me about being pregnant is the time away from my work. But luckily, I had this project to go in on. So it was fun to sort of do things where it didn't matter that my belly was big," she added in an interview.
According to Shields, her twin seven-year-old nieces are big fans of the Miss Spider books.
"You spend time watching this type of television and this type of video that they always want to have in the television. So, I think, my motivation came through them, and also just wanting to start a family," she said of the project. "I think it's really nice to be involved with something that is so positive."

Special for westvalleypreps.com
PRESCOTT VALLEY – The air up here in the Verde Valley is thinner, but the wrestling in the Division I and Division II state tournament is anything but for the light-hearted.
The new set of rules (only four divisions instead of six classifications) and the seeding process (only the top six get seeded with everyone else a blind draw) has made for plenty of upsets and where-did-he-come-from results.
The area wrestlers took the brunt of it at Tim's Toyota Center.
It started early with Willow Canyon's section champ Jake Ashfield (145) losing 7-2 to Phoenix Brophy's Marshall Varner in the first-round and continued on from there.
There were wrestlers who advanced to Friday's 7 p.m. finals, but overall some top wrestlers came up short.
Dysart's Camrin Adkins made it to the 189-pound semifinals, but couldn't get past Prescott's Luke Berve as the latter prevailed 6-4.
Adkins (21-2) has to clear his head of the disappointment and be ready for Friday's consolation semifinals to make sure he has a shot at third place.
"It's tough now, but you take it with a grain of salt and learn from it," Adkins said. "I have to clear my head and make sure I finish strong."
Other semifinal losses endured by Northwest Valley kids were Sunrise Mountain's top-seeded Kevin Hunt (112, DII), who was pinned by Vail Cienega's Cristian Sanchez; Mountain Ridge's Austen Ross (130, DI), who lost 2-0 to Tucson Sunnyside's Raul Moraga; Deer Valley fourth seed Carlos Toro (135, DII), who was defeated 4-2 by Tucson Sahuaro's Spencer Blondeaux; Peoria's Travis Bee (171, DII) and Jaimen Bennalley (215, DII) also dropped semifinal matches.
The area didn't come up empty by any means as Sunrise Mountain's Cord Coronado (119, DII) beat Sunnyslope's Noel Jimenez 8-3 to make the finals against Ironwood Ridge's Connor Buette.
Dysart's Alex Selvy (152, DII) kept it rolling as the top seed with a pin in 1 minute and 29 seconds of Barry Goldwater's Aurelio Ortega puts him in the championship match against Ironwood Ridge's Walker Slaughter.
Ironwood's heavyweight Garrett Foster escaped with 12 seconds left to beat Prescott's Cameron Mengarelli. He faces Shadow Mountain's Luke Braun for the title.
"I just knew I had to move," said Foster, who was in the bottom position after a re-start with 22 seconds left. "I knew I had to get separation and I wasn't going to let all of the dedication and hard work go to waste.
"This is an incredible feeling. Now I have to finish it off."
Division II finals begin at 7 p.m. Friday.

It wasn't unfamiliar.
Behind near-flawless defense, hitting with runners in scoring position and deceptive pitching, perennial softball power Basha defeated Gilbert, 5-2, to win the prestigious Lion Country Classic softball tournament at Red Mountain on Saturday.
Bears infielder Courtney Hiruko went 4-for-4, while pitcher Kailey Regester struck out seven in seven innings and allowed just six hits.
Basha won three games on the day, defeating Saguaro and Desert Ridge before moving on to the championship game.
At times, Basha made it look easy.
"We got good pitching from everybody, timely hitting and we played good defense," Bears coach Scott Hoffmeyer. "We're just trying to win each game we play."
Of the seven games the Bears played in, Regester pitched in four. Her ability to change speeds vexed Tigers' hitters, who either fired their hands and wrists too early which hooked the ball foul, swung late against fastballs, or waited a bit too long on Regester's changeup.
"We can get better with everything," Hoffmeyer said of his pitcher's performance. "So, we'll keep working on that but we're happy with the team win."
Lynea Klemddson and Kelsey Tidwell also pitched for the Bears during the tournament, helping Basha win at least two pitching duels over the course of the week.
Offensively, Hiruko was the catalyst.
She led off the game with a single to left field and scored when Kylie Shull knocked a two-run hit past the third baseman.
In the top of the second, Hiruko smashed a ball into the right-center field gap for an RBI double, though she was tagged out trying to extend it to a triple.
She singled again in the top of the fifth, this time making it safely to third base after an error. She finished the contest with another hit up the middle.
Hiruko's spray chart looked like a well-played board in a game of battleship, with shots fired in four different zones, each spaced out almost perfectly from one another.
"I just try to see the ball and hit it," Hiruko said. "I look for the gaps and I aim for them. If the ball is on the inside I go for the left side (of the field), and when it's outside I go for right (field)."
Glendale Deer Valley was the consolation bracket winner, while upstart Desert Ridge continued its strong start with a third-place finish overall. Corona del Sol also finished in seventh place in the tournament.

great info and recipes!
gettingwell发表于 Jun 25, 2013
This is a great book for someone who is new to gluten free baking. It has many useful tips and reference pages and so many great recipes. Amy also uses other types of sweeteners instead of sugar. I'm so glad I got this before it was discontinued. Urge iherb to bring it back if you find you need it too!

Kitchen Table Wisdom
It doesn't take an expert to tell you that the kitchen is the hub of all the action. But experts can help you get a kitchen that looks good and works well without breaking the bank in the process. Just ask them—they'll tell you.
It's finally time to tear out the knotty pine cabinets and rip up the weathered vinyl floor. Interest rates are low and the economy is showing some signs of improvement, giving homeowners the courage to tackle their kitchens. Other consumers are simply tired of waiting, and still others who wanted better spaces have decided that remodeling is a more prudent move than moving right now. Whatever your reason for getting the hammers swinging, you can get what you want with the budget you have.
"Start talking with friends and neighbors who have already been through the experience. Start a journal with notes and magazine clippings of styles, designs and finishes that interest you. And, it's never too early to visit a kitchen and bath showroom not only to see actual displays, but also to interview designers and get a sense of how the kitchen remodeling process works," says Dan Luck, owner of Bella Domicile. "Remodeling a kitchen is a journey that requires a certain amount of investment in time and energy if you want it done right."
Doug Widish also encourages interested homeowners to head out and look around before lining up any contractors or ordering cabinetry. The manager of Gerhards Showroom says many customers will discover that they have more choices than they expected to, even if they have modest budgets. From cabinetry to plumbing and fixtures, Gerhards carries numerous options at various pricepoints. "We have so many choices that we can work with you no matter what budget you have," Widish says.
Indeed, getting what you want might be as simple as asking for it. Unless you've built or remodeled recently, you probably won't know what options exist and at what cost. Don't assume your ideal choices are out of your budget or that the look you want isn't possible. Randy Washa, owner of Prestige Laminated Products, says the biggest mistake homeowners make is short-changing themselves because they didn't explore all their options.
"The quality, the wood species, unusual characteristics, you can still have all that," Washa says.
So be sure to explore all the options, even those that might seem out of reach. Look at all the scenarios set up in the design showrooms. Sometimes you will discover through your research or through working with designers that your wish list changes and you might want to allocate funds differently than you imagined you would. Instead of all professional appliances, you might invest only in the high-end wall oven but get a cooktop and refrigerator that are one step down. Or you decide that you really do want to go high-end all the way if you're going to do it at all. It's far better to research up front, experts agree, than to be saddled with regrets once the dust settles.
Also, evolving products and technology often present other opportunities to save and spend. For example, Washa explains that new adhesives allow plastic laminate countertops to be used with undermount sinks, which are popular for their styling and cleaning ease. Previously, undermount sinks could be used only with solid-surface countertops such as granite or quartz, but those can cost five times as much as laminates. The new adhesives give budget-conscious homeowners another option for sinks while freeing up funds for custom cabinets or higher-end appliances.
The retailers, designers, remodeling contractors and other industry professionals all should know up-to-the-minute information about products and construction methods. Just because a company couldn't match the finish on your drawer pulls last year doesn't mean they can't do it this year. That is why Kris Wilke, manager of The Stool Store, encourages homeowners to tap into the resources and design services that many retailers offer. It could save money, present options you didn't know existed or lead to a better result overall.
"We help our clients match the metal of their new stools to their lighting or cabinet hardware," Wilke says. "Customers bring in samples of hardware, cabinet drawers, lighting fixtures, you name it. We have literally seen everything come through our door, including the kitchen sink!"
Jeff Hensen, president of Hensen Fine Cabinetry, stresses that the soft economy does not mean that businesses aren't offering the options they once did. Clients who are ready to make an investment certainly don't have to compromise. "Every job is unique," he says. "We can customize the cabinetry to match your life and meet your needs. We will go through the design item by item, cabinet by cabinet to make sure the silverware is stored in the right place, the wastebasket is in the right spot and canned goods stored in the right way."
And it's not just cabinetry. Brian Boehnen, owner of Midwest Rock Tops, says other elements can be personalized for each and every client. "We are always pushing the limits in the stone fabrication world, such as laminating glass or stainless steel on the edges or using it in the seams," he says. "We are always developing methods to achieve the look they are striving for."
No matter how big or small the job, good coordination with the design and remodeling team is critical, as is open communication between the team and client. Make sure your remodeling team knows who else is doing what. Most are used to intense coordination and collaboration, so be sure no one is left in the dark. Keven Schmidt, owner of Dream Kitchens, tackles the coordination piece by offering complete design and construction services to clients. "It is more efficient, and there are fewer mistakes and less miscommunication," he says.
If it turns out that a down-to-the-studs remodel isn't possible, there are still ways to refresh a tired kitchen. "Painting the walls, replacing the decorative cabinet hardware, replacing the countertop work surface and adding a ceramic tile backsplash can give sparkle and life to a tired space without breaking the bank," Luck adds.
Even new seating can make a big impact. Wilke says bright, playful upholstery on seating is a popular way to show personality in new or existing kitchens. "Have fun with the fabric," she says. "The seat is usually sat on or tucked under the counter so why not use it to add a splash of bold color? And for the faint of heart, remember that most seats can be recovered easily down the road."
Take it from the experts—the options are endless once you begin looking. Perhaps it's time to start?

Enhancements to BrickLists
Posted by Huw,Now that STEAM is out of the way, I have time to work on Brickset again so today I've made a couple of tweaks to BrickLists in response to your feedback. The strange bug that prevented you from adding certain sets should be fixed and, while I intend to provide a drag-and-drop means of reordering lists eventually, for now I've changed the list creation code to number items in steps of 10 which will enable you to change them around somewhat more easily (e.g. to slot a set in between the first and second item you'd give it a number between 11 and 19, e.g. 15).
You have probably already noticed the random BrickList on the side menu bar already! It should change roughly daily (or whenever the server recycles the application).
I'm still really pleased with the way they are being used: there are now 107 published lists and another 90-odd unpublished, and most of them are great, so keep them coming!
Update 14th October: You can now mark lists as favourites and see a list of your favourite lists. When people start using this I will add a list showing which lists have been marked as favouries by the most people.

Great! I noticed the "Random BrickLists" before you wrote this:)! BTW, will you put in pages of BrickLists? Will you number the BrickLists? And will you put in a "Was this useful or not?" poll on the BrickLists?
Right back to work, eh? Thanks a bunch, Huw!
@Alemas, yes, yes, and yes. Eventually...
nice work Huw
My list is the first random list!!!!! Cool!!! there's a 1% chance in that happening!!!
@StealthNinja: Sorry to disappoint you, but you are too late! Yours WASN'T the first random list! The Random BrickLists was implemented before you saw yours!
than what was the first one?? OI(yeah, I know some japanese), StealthNinja, you can call yours the first recorded one.=)
and Huw, Did you like mine, I hope it was good.
@GameOn: The first-ever random BrickList was CrzyLCF's "LEGO Castle - Fortresses"! I saw it just seconds after Random BrickLists was implemented!
oh, nevermind SteathNinja999. I was wrong
Great! I can now add the 6310 - 6313 sets to my road plate list. Thanks for the update.
By the way Huw, can you add minifigs to a bricklist?
WOHOOO!!! My Episode IV BrickList is now featured!
@clone commander trainrex, no, sorry.
@alemas, paging now done.
@Huw: Yep, I noticed!
woohoo my bricklist is the random one
Huw, do you think we can have a feature that will allow us to create a "My Favourites" set of lists?
@novelty, yes, that's the plan.
The link in 'created by xxx on yyy' in the header of lists now link to a list of all lists created by xxx.
Huw - there also needs to be a link to the profile of the person creating the lists.
On another note, http://brickset.com/bricklists/?245 and http://brickset.com/bricklists/?119 are more or less the same list...
Wow, I could be featured on Brickset's home page! That's cool, no matter how small the percentage is!
Huw, do you select the random Bricklist, or is it really random?
It's really random
I didn't know you could do that. It's *magical* :)

The current meta is not like God's gift to LoL its just what people are doing currently. So why are people so opposed to me going mid Sivir?
I'm sick of people blindly following the meta. I got chewed out because I banned Zilean instead of the usual Trynd/Rammus/Shaco/Morg/Kass/Lee Sin every **** game.
I hear you. I run into players that can't think outside the meta-box nearly all the time. My lane partner and I frequently go Sona+Soraka bot with all offensive runes/masteries (both with mana manipulators for starting item) and we own our lane 9 times out of 10. God FORBID doing anything other than AD+Support.
Don't listen to the daddy-players in this game; play how you want to play. |
In normals thats great, do whatever, its normals. I go support shaco bot and win/loose but have fun.
In ranked its a different story. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its cuz people still have the Stigma attached to Sivir being bad. |
But it is the shortest from tower too tower, so they can escape easily and if you just push them to their tower, your getting set up for a gank your self, while he can easily farm under your tower. Etc etc I personally favor the old double caster Meta, but this one counters that one :( Also the Meta is generally only stuck too in that you have the Tanky dps guy a jungler an AD carry, AP carry, and someone who doesn't need farm a.k.a. the support, all the time people will switch up and throw their support and AD carry top, or put a ryze vs a rumble, riven, Olaf, or gp, and some AD carries *can* go mid though I'm pretty sure that Sivir actually has a large weaknesses that a support sort of covers, her lack of a easy get away move, and she isn't defensive and lacks sustain.(that last part about Sivir herself is all based on paper junk I'm not even 80% about it, she may very well play out alright, or she might not man you can never be 100% sure. |
It was me
The meta is still king, because if two equal teams play each other and one plays the meta and the other team does not, the meta team will win without a doubt. |
i forgot to include that the only reason i do this is to have max carry potential to get me out of elo hell
Dunno why someone could be mad for see a mid sivr on his team even now when she is nerfed she still have a good CC with Rycochet skill (Is not anymore a toggle skill T-T) and some champs could be great mid liners even if they dont seems mid liners Pantheon for example is an incredible mid liner and Ashe in mid line is so agresive you cant Farm with me as Ashe
Really it comes down to optimization and unknowns. If someone doesn't know you or your ability to play sivir, they are going to want you to go bottom lane with a support and send an ap mid because that optimizes levels (most important for ap champs) and farm (most important for ad carries) for the 2 carries on the team. With that said, I have been outplayed mid by a few ad champs and sivir's kit in particular with spell shield fits well as a counter there. But, really the meta is the meta because it is optimal most of the time and when you are in solo q, most people are going to want the highest possible chance at victory.

Martin Prado 2B/3B MIA 5 Months
Prado (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's against the Rays, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
Prado has sat out four of the past five games with a lingering hamstring injury. He was able to come back to the lineup Sunday after he reported being pain-free, but the Yankees are worried he could aggravate the injury, so he's being held out for a second consecutive day.
Martin Prado 2B/3B MIA 5 Months
Prado is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays due to a lingering hamstring injury, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
Prado was able to play Sunday after sitting out the previous three games, but the Yankees believe he could aggravate the injury by playing, so they will hold him out of at least one more game.
Martin Prado 2B/3B MIA 5 Months
Prado (hamstring) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Royals.
After missing three straight games with a sore hamstring, Prado will bat third and play second base Saturday. He reported being pain-free on Friday, so we should see him back in the lineup on a semi-regular basis down the stretch.
Martin Prado 2B/3B MIA 5 Months
Prado (hamstring) says he is pain-free in his hamstring that has sidelined him from three straight games, MLB.com reports.
Prado was available as a pinch-hitter Friday after going through his normal pregame routine without any setbacks, but wasn't used. He was able to take the field, play catch, and take batting practice without reporting any pain, so at this point a return to the lineup on Saturday seems likely.
Martin Prado 2B/3B MIA 5 Months
Prado (hamstring) is out of the Yankees' lineup again Friday but manager Joe Girardi said he could pinch-hit, Sweeny Murti of Sportsradio 66 WFAN reports.
Ichiro Suzuki will draw another start in right field in place of Prado, who missed the final two games of the Red Sox series with a mild left hamstring strain. Prado has been receiving treatment and ran at about 50 percent Thursday, leading Girardi to deem him available off the bench for the opener against Kansas City. The skipper went on to reiterate that he's hopeful Prado can return to the lineup Saturday.

Prado (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Red Sox, Newsday's Erik Boland reports.
A mild left hamstring strain, suffered during Tuesday's game, will keep Prado out for the series finale against Boston. The 30-year-old has been receiving treatment and did report progress Wednesday, but Ichiro Suzuki will likely continue to hold down the fort in right until the training staff signs off on Prado's return.
Martin Prado 2B/3B MIA 5 Months
Prado (hamstring) made some progress Wednesday but is still day-to-day, YES Network's Meredith Marakovits reports.
He had treatment and had no issues walking around Wednesday, and the plan is for him to do some baseball activity Thursday and the team will see how Prado's strained hamstring responds. It sounds like there's a chance we could see Prado back in the Yankees' lineup sooner than expected, but he may still miss a couple more games.
Martin Prado 2B/3B MIA 5 Months
Prado has been diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain and is hoping to return to the Yankees' lineup in a day or two, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Prado incurred the injury in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, when he went 2-for-3 with his 10th homer of the season. The Yankees will attempt to get by with Ichiro Suzuki as their primary right fielder until Prado is cleared for a return.
Martin Prado 2B/3B MIA 5 Months
Prado felt something in his left hamstring and will see a doctor Tuesday night, the New York Daily News' Mark Feinsand reports.
It's not clear exactly when Prado suffered the injury, but he should be considered day-to-day until we learn more about his condition. After hitting just five home runs in 106 games with Arizona earlier this season, Prado has already hit four homers in just 28 games since joining the Yankees.
Martin Prado 2B/3B MIA 5 Months
Prado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the Yankees' 8-1 victory Monday night.
Prado hasn't missed a beat since joining the Yankees at the trading deadline. The veteran has hit .417 over his last nine games and now has three homers as a member of the Yankees. For the season Prado is up to nine home runs to go with his .272 batting average.

PIERRE PART, La (FOX44) — On Sunday, August 21, the Assumption Parish Dispatch Center received a phone call in reference to suspected vandalism at the Veteran's Park in Pierre Part.
The vandalism found was inside the men's and women's restrooms.
Detectives reviewed the park's surveillance system and noticed two juvenile males riding bikes underneath the canopy that later entered the bathroom.
Detectives recognized one of the juveniles and located one of them riding his bike nearby. They asked the juvenile to follow him home to his parents' residence. The juvenile admitted that he and another friend did vandalize the property at the ball park.
Both juveniles, age 13 and 15, were charged on August 22 with Criminal Damage to Property. They were released to the custody of their parents pending further juvenile court proceedings.

Jeremiah Goulka: Republicans and the Redskins
7:44 am in Uncategorized by Tom Engelhardt
This article originally appeared at TomDispatch.com. To receive TomDispatch in your inbox three times a week, click here.
Allow me to introduce you to Dan Snyder. He owns the Washington Redskins football team. Before Snyder bought the team in 1999, the Redskins were one of the most hallowed franchises in the National Football League, with a history as rich as any. Coach Joe Gibbs stalking the sidelines, quarterback Joe Theismann under center, wide receivers Art Monk, Gary Clark, and Ricky Sanders — nicknamed "the Posse" — lined up on the flanks. Super Bowl wins in '83, '88, and '92. Under Dan Snyder, however, the Redskins have burned through seven head coaches in 14 years and made zero Super Bowl appearances. Snyder moved the team from Washington, D.C., to a corporate-sponsored stadium in suburban Maryland. He's charged fans to watch team practices, raised ticket prices, and sued the local alternative weekly newspaper when it wrote an unflattering story about him. The best part? He never even read the offending article.
Dan Snyder may be the most hated man in Washington, D.C.
His latest misdeed to garner attention took place not on the gridiron but on the manicured grounds of his riverfront mansion in swanky Potomac, Maryland. In the latest issue of the Washington Monthly magazine, Tim Murphy tells the story of a "secret sweetheart deal" Snyder finagled with the help of a George W. Bush appointee to cut down some trees on nearby federal parkland so that he would have an unobstructed view of the Potomac River. "What's clear is this," Murphy writes, "by April of 2004, with his new home nearing completion and still no progress on the trees, Snyder was growing frustrated and [former NRA lobbyist turned National Park Service aide P. Daniel] Smith was determined to settle the matter.
"That spring, according to the inspector general's report, Smith met with Snyder's attorney for a business lunch at the Potomac estate, where Snyder had just completed an expansion to build a massive new ballroom, and followed it up with a phone call to the park official who dealt with land acquisitions. Over the phone, the official told the investigators, Smith seemed agitated that nothing had been done yet, and suggested an exit strategy, which he later alleged had come from the Redskins' attorney: most of the trees in question were nonnative; why not clear-cut them and call it an exotic-plant extermination program?"
Snyder got the trees removed. When, as Murphy notes, a park ranger and devoted civil servant named Robert Danno blew the whistle on his bogus "exotic-plant extermination program," Danno was promptly intimidated, demoted, and almost thrown in jail. In the end, a National Park Service inspector general's report vindicated Danno — but by then, of course, it was too late to save those trees and Snyder had his view.
So it goes in Dan Snyder's Washington. Yet there may be no bigger headache for the team owner than the matter of his franchise's name: the Redskins. It's offensive, and a growing number of activists and commentators want it changed. But as TomDispatch contributor Jeremiah Goulka writes, there is at least one bloc of public figures that fully supports the name — and that is the Republican Party. Allow Goulka, a TomDispatch regular and former Republican himself, to explain why. Andy Kroll
Win Today, Lose Tomorrow
Why Republicans Protect the "Honor" of Offensive Team Names
By Jeremiah Goulka
Every once in a while a small controversy comes along that helps explain a big problem. This National Football League season has provided such a controversy. The name of Washington D.C.'s football team, the Redskins, is under fire. "Redskins" is an offensive term and therefore inappropriate for the team representing our nation's capital. That's kind of obvious, right?

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY: In Search of America John Steinbeck (1902-1968) R.I.P. was one of America�s great novelists. A Nobel Prize winner in 1962, the same year he published TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY, but the book was not related to the award. Steinbeck wrote several popular novels, including OF MICE AND MEN; THE GRAPES OF WRATH; and EAST OF EDEN, these stories among others center around his boyhood home of Salinas, California, a rich agricultural area near the coast and it�s shipping. The first two were written and published during the depression and that attitude is reflected masterfully in his words. Steinbeck is without question an American treasure. That said, I do not recommend TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY: In Search of America. While the book is readable, there is nothing in it worth remembering. A great novelist does not necessarily make a great journalist. I read a nice review about his marine biology adventure in The Log from the Sea of Cortez, (1951). It sounds pretty good. Maybe the years, the alcohol, the subject matter, or just life brought a different result in TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY. Perhaps he expected to and could not find a touchstone to revolve around. �In Search of America�?- - - It was a fruitless search. Over 10,000 miles and 38 states left him with several anecdotes, but little wisdom. Steinbeck said that he decided to write TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY because he �had not felt the country for twenty-five years.� He discovered that he did not know his own country and that he was writing from a memory of the past. He had become famous and traveled the world as well as the cities of America. But these were short visits, like post cards in his mind. He wrote that people around you change when you become famous. They become �something they are not under normal circumstances.� Steinbeck used this as the reason for traveling alone, but I think there is much more to it. I feel that his celebrity changed him more than it had the general public. I think that is the major reason this book fails to identify with the America of 1960. Steinbeck comes off as a snob. Of all people! He is quick to be offended, but at the same time shows an elitist attitude when dealing with the regular Joes. He conveys nothing special and positive about most of the people he meets. While in the south he empathizes with the Negro in a country club liberal way. A black man that he picks up on the road shrinks in fear when Steinbeck asks him racial questions. He finally realizes that the guy is more interested in his own safety than in answering volatile questions from some strange white guy. As a �New York Jew� type, Steinbeck �braves� an appearance at a much publicized daily demonstration by New Orleans rednecks against school integration by using a British accent.. The demonstrations were lead by a sleazy group of middle-aged women who the press had dubbed The Cheerleaders. These women wallowed in the limelight as they screamed vicious epithets at a single little black girl who was brought to school and protected by a small army of U.S. marshals. A disgusting display and one that could have been explored. Instead, Steinbeck rails against virtually everything southern and the southern whites in general. He has quick praise for the courageous white man who brings his child to the school amidst the screaming and jeering. Shades of To Kill a Mockingbird here. As it happens, on the street he runs across an older refined white gentleman with white hair who cites an obscure 42 word quote from Robert John Cresswell. They retire to coffee and have a Socratic discussion of the southern racial problem. Questions left unanswered and the world goes on. Well, I don�t buy this for a minute. It is just the most glaring example of Steinbeck flowering up OR making up an encounter for his own gain. I�m not a writer and I don�t even play one on TV, but isn�t dramatic license supposed to be limited to fiction. Too many conversations sound as if they were taken from a Made-for-TV movie. Granted, he was relating his encounters from memory, but give me a break. Even his dog is a snob. Charley A.K.A., A.K.C. Charles le Chien, (Charles the dog) is a 10 year-old large french poodle born at the outskirts of Paris who responds to commands in French. Charley loves to travel, but does not like people fawning over him. Steinbeck explains that Charley knows that he is a dog and expects to be treated like one, not like a cute baby. Damn, since a poodle, Tobito, came with my marriage, and I love him to death, I was beginning to question my lifelong prejudices about poodles and uneasiness with their owners. In my world, Steinbeck set the Poodle Or Owner�s Pride (POOP) struggle back at least a generation. A snob dog is a bad dog in my book. Steinbeck probably was talking about guys like me when he wrote how Charley facilitated the initiation of conversations when people would approach him and say, � That�s a nice dog, what kind of degree is it.� Haw haw, yuck, yuck, them big city folk sure have our number, yuck, yuck. Steinbeck follows that hoot with a paragraph quoted yesterday at email@example.com in honor of his birthdate. For more info feel free to peruse my earlier review: quick classic, anyone? At http://www.epinions.com/content_2002690180. The quote is as follows: �The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.� Steinbeck and Charley travel in a custom made � ton pickup with a custom camper, built like the cabin of a small boat. Remember, this was circa 1960 and people pulled trailers behind them. Steinbeck used his notoriety to get this unique vehicle manufactured. Very powerful, but almost as easy to handle as a passenger car. As to the truck, �I named it Rocinante, which you will remember was the name of Don Quixote�s horse.� Later, �I was advised that the name Rocinante painted on the side .... in sixteenth-century Spanish script would cause curiosity .... I do not know how many people recognized the name, but surely no one ever asked about.� First, for a guy who earlier had professed the necessity of anonymity, this is a little overboard. Second, the whole thing screams to me, SNOB! Steinbeck runs into a brusque waitress that he doesn�t tip, an incompetent veterinarian, a man who doesn�t want his son to go to hairdressing school, a bumbling obstinate cook and waitress at a German restaurant, and a security guard who has a wife that wants to move to the city. A wretched crew and all in all, a boring one, too. I know that I did a lot of ripping on a great writer, but Travels with Charley a poor example of Steinbeck�s writing. Picture Hunter S. Thompson doing Charles Kuralt. It does not work. A bad fit. In short, this dog don�t hunt. This epinion is the my contribution to the Steinbeck 100th birthday writeoff hosted by Stephen Murray. Thank you Steve, I was honored to be invited. The other participants are Deaser26, Ed-Grover, Ed_Williamson, eplovejoy, Jankp, Macresarf1, Mridula, and TomBarnes. Sorry about being a day late, but Steinbeck WAS born on the last day of February, right.

The best tomatoes for slicing and salads have to be the Bandywine heirloom. I have been gardening for 40 years and never had a tomato as good as the Brandywine, blows the doors off Beefsteaks. So much for genetic engineering. PS These toms were as big as 8 " diameter. |
Follow-Up Postings:
D...my Brandywine is very good....but my Cherokee Purple is better. Keep in mind there are several varieties of "Brandywine". ie. Sudduth's, Red, Pink, etc |
That's most interesting fireduck. Since I haven't grown Brandywine in years, but LOVE the taste, I was wondering how it would compare to Cherokee Purple which is amazing this year. I think that Rose de Bern tastes even better, but I just wish it hadn't suffered so badly from BER when none of my other plants did! Linda |
8" in diameter? Hummm.........photo please :-) |
- Posted by Hudson...WY Z3 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 2, 13 at 22:52
Interesting - having just taken the taste test for both of these varieties - Brandywine and Cherokee Purple.........although they both have great flavor and I plan to plant them both in our GH next year.........my vote goes to Cherokee Purple! |
I have had BW few years ago. I admit that it tasted great. Those days I read a lot that BW does not like hot weather. At the time I was gardening in GA(hot summers). I planted it in a partly shaded area. It did ok. Not too good. This year being in the Pacific NW, I thought it should do well here. Thats why I planted one. It has been a disappointment. It has been VERY slow to begin with. Then it has 3 or 4 tomatoes all together and the plant is over 7 ft tall. So, it is a scratch. Next year I will plant Cherokee Purple instead. I have had CP and I liked it too. |
Isn't it always interesting how people have differing opinions/results? I am growing in containers...so I suspect my results could actually be better in the ground. Both my Brandywine and CP are only about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall. I have harvested 6-8 each already...and have a dozen more big green fruit on right now. I am satisfied with this....in containers. My CP's are juicier, and have less scarring and catfacing than the Brandywine. |
F... it seems to me that you have miniturized them in pots (3 - 4ft ?!) I think, when tomatoes get root bound, tend to to fruit early and maybe more. In fact, in my view, this is a good method in pot gardening, as long as the soil is kept moist and fertilized. Then the roots will have no opportunity to grow and instead concentrate on fruits/seeds production. |

S...you make a great point right there! I am growing in 15 gal nursery pots...and next year I plan to go up to 20 gal trash cans. It is kind of fun to tweek things to get better results. Thankyou for the insight. |

@corevi: Ah, that's right, I remember that now, my mistake
morecowbell24's forum posts
@l33t_haxor: Yeah being a recent college grad without a job for 9 months of the year meant I needed a hobby I think, and hey Dota's free
You're a talented man Patrick, it'll be fun to see where you end up, because you'll nail it.
@slag: Yeah, that might have something to do with it. Good point.
@rorie: If we're talking directly about Infamous, the version of the final mission you can do depends on if you're good or evil, so I imagine it just depends what you ended up being at the time you do that mission, if you alternated.
@zevvion: Yeah, I agree that they aren't the impossible or anything and I don't think Coop was the specific focus of either the Royal Rat Vanguard or the Pursuer. They seem like more creative ways to make coop interesting where the Sentinels just put 3 of them in an arena and said "good luck, I hope you brought friends". The Rats are easy to crowd control with firestorm and similar spells, and really aren't that hard to funnel into a line that makes them easy to deal with without such spells. However, playing cooperatively would accomplish crowd control, and making getting overrun less likely, without breaking the boss fight. The Pursuer has the ballista that is much easier to use when its distracted by another player. It's not impossible to hit him with the ballista by yourself, nor is it impossible to beat him without even using the ballista, but it's so much easier that it seems like coop was being considered when they put the ballistae there in the first place.
@yummylee: In the loosest possible sense I think the Ancient Dragon in Dark Souls II kind of speaks to the direction you're speaking of. It's massive and more difficult with more people, because it becomes less predictable. Obviously there is no climbing up cliffsides to leap onto it or anything, but it could be something of an indicator to what their future boss designs might be like. As weak as the Bed of Chaos was, they still worked with the basic concept with the Executioner's Chariot. Personally though, as a side project that'd probably be fine, but if they made a coop focused core souls game I'd be kind of disappointed, because I like playing by myself my first playthrough. That said they seemed to have coop more in mind than ever with Dark Souls II. The Ruin Sentinels, the Royal Rat Vanguard and The Pursuer (because of the ballista) seem seem especially tailored for coop.
Edit: Sorry I misread part of your statement, I thought you meant you wanted bosses to be designed to be more difficult when done cooperatively, so kind of disregard that first bit.
@yummylee: Thanks! Music is definitely another thing they do really well in these Souls games, especially since the levels themselves for the most part go without it. When music kicks in for the boss fights, it's powerful. The Tower Knight is great example. I really liked a lot of the Demon's Souls boss themes, the False King especially. I kind of wish they kept that composer on for Dark Souls, but there are still some more great themes regardless.
Upgrading your weapon will help a lot. I believe spears need sharpstone, and you can get it from those Phalanx enemies, they also drop hardstone for blunt weapons which are really good against the skeletons in the shrine of storms.
