H&M Home and Julie Verhoeven
I'm the first to admit that this collection is geared more towards girls about 10 years younger than me (grin), I still like these colorful things from H&M Home that just released bearing the cheerful, sensual illustrative works of fashion illustrator, artist and teacher Julie Verhoeven.
I think I'll pick up a tote because I can use it for groceries and the weekly farmers' market. My current cloth bags that I bring to the grocery store are a bit boring and standard so these totes from Julie Verhoeven for H&M Home just may do the trick since they are so light and perfectly sized.
What kind of bags do you bring to the grocery store anyway? Cute? Boring? Admit it if yours have stains and holes, no one will judge! :)

The bedding is beautiful! Does anyone know if they will ship to the UK, or have plans to stock H&M Home product in the UK?

That tote is really cute!
I use Flip & Tumble Bags. I've been using them for 2 or 3 years and they are fantastic! They are colorful and I never forget them because I can keep 2 or 3 in my purse all the time! http://www.flipandtumble.com
.-= Jeni´s last blog ..Flickr Favorites =-. -
Love the bag! I have to admit that my grocery bags are from all over the place, mostly received as a gift from stores, reusable and very sturdy but with logos etc.
.-= Yasmine´s last blog ..Playing in the Dirt =-. -
A large Deuter rucksack + some extra plastic bags (we try to recycle them so I make sure there are enough in both cars – mine and my boyfriend's). I really try NOT to buy any new ones – and it seems to be working!
.-= Frau Mayer´s last blog ..Real Living – an extra copy for sale plus new arrivals =-. -
Is that a toaster on the bed cover?
For groceries, I have an assortment of boring bags with various logos and whatnot. Bags that I won't feel bad about if they get wrecked.
I'm not a handbag sort of gal, I've always preferred using simple cloth book totes (or similar) to hold all the things I need when I'm going out and about for the day – wallet, hairbrush, book to read, etc.

February 25th, 2010 at 9:23amMine are looking a bit rough, but that's from use so… good, right? I keep the small folded ones in my purse for after work stops at the market or drug store and take the bigger ones when I head out for major shopping, farmers market, etc….. I live in NYC with no car so I can only bring home so much at a time!
Jeannette commented
February 25th, 2010 at 9:27amWithout a car to store multiple bags or baskets, I always carry a Reisenthel mini maxi shopper with me. They are really sturdy, compared to the cheap ones from Rossmann (German drugstore) I used before, and come in many nice patterns. Have a look here: http://www.reisenthel.com
H&M has a Home line???!!! American's miss out on all the good stuff. Do they offer/ship any of their products to the States?

I just bought one from hm with a cute rabbit and a lady with a red bow on her dress, it makes grocery shopping more fun :) and it was eco friendly too.

My groceries back was bought in a sports magestore called Decathlon – I know that they're around Europe but not sure wher. It's great because is has a plastic ball where you keep it when you don't used it and holds tons of stuff! and it's portable enough to be carried in your bag.

February 25th, 2010 at 10:49amI'm with you Holly, have lots of ugly cloth bags for my shopping but have had my eye on this for some time now:
I like H&M's home products – they have a lovely range of cushion covers and throws.
I keep meaning to sew myself some beautiful bags, but instead my grocery bags are the really boring, ugly gimme bags that my husband picks up at business marketing events. Shopping with that H&M Home bag would be wonderful!

I will give another shout out to Envirosax…they pretty much rock! I bought my set a couple of years ago & use them every weekend (and even for non-grocery goods at times) and the originals are still holding strong! They hold alot & the material makes them so easy to clean without having to actually wash them.
I highly, highly recommend them…I even buy them as gifts cause they're so fun, functional & fashionable. And no, I do not work for them nor am I affiliated with them in any way…just a die hard fan! ;-)
.-= Katherine´s last blog ..is there a point? =-. -
I admit, I carry the funniest trio of bags to the market! I have a smallish one made in Kenya, gorgeous geometric african print in black and white, then I have a typical white and blue canvas one similair to LL Bean, and then a plain ugly purple one just purely for its size…I think all things should be beautiful and interesting and speak to one's favorite color or imagination…no matter what their function. I guess sometimes there's that free or cheap item that ends up in one's collection that isnt attractive in any way…oh well!

I use that design classic (hah!) from Wholefoods – the 'I Used To Be A Plastic Bottle' bag. Trouble is, it appears to be indestructible……

I'm currently using a turquoise packable tote that comes in a pouch from a chain supermarket in Hong Kong called city'super. I love that it folds up to the size of my wallet so I can throw it in any purse I carry in the event that I stop at the grocery store before I go home.

I use these really fun bags called Baggus for my groceries. They're lightweight and they fold up into a little pouch so they always feel organized. Plus, they have tons of fun colors!
.-= Sara´s last blog ..Blue House =-. -
Remembering them is the key…I remember about half the time, which is OK since we use the plastic bags for dog walking.
But I went on a bit of a grocery sack kick last year. I have one from Old Navy, canvas, that says Plant Flowers. It's cute, but so wrinkly after being washed – and really, who has time to iron grocery sacks?
I also have a couple of Dimpa bags from IKEA, plus an Envirosax with a nice leaf print and one of the foldable Orla Kiely bags from Target last year – small, but great for fruits and vegetables you don't want to get bruised with the rest.
.-= Emily´s last blog ..Boots? Really? =-. -
I love those bags! Mine are a bit of a mix: a few foldable Envirosax (practical but very, very ugly), and a large one from Marks & Spencer with an illustration of supermodel Erin O'Connor on it. I carry my favourite cloth bag in my purse, for when I'm out and about and need to pick something up. It's from the V&A gift shop and has a pattern of little garment pattern pieces! It's years old now, but I'm always getting stopped and asked about it.

These are so cute! I just found some of the cutest vintage fabrics and was thinking about making my own bags for the grocery store. I know I will get plenty of use out of them in Denmark and I have to justify my recent obsession with vintage fabrics… I'm running out of beds to make quilts for! LOL!

February 26th, 2010 at 1:12pmI have the usual standard reuseable bags that I've purchased at various stores in town.
But, I also have a small collection of 4 bags that cannot be bought in this town. I got them during my travels. I have two same ones from an Inuit area of Canada when I was there a few years ago and two different ones from Hong Kong when I was there last March. I may continuing doing this in my future travels.
It's nice being reminded of my time away from home whenever I use these "exotic" bags.
great bag.. but i love love love these pillows..

Parachute cord is awesome! It's washable, strong, useful for many applications and virtually indestructible!! This tutorial will teach you how to make a four strand round braided dog leash with parachute cord.
Getting Started
Paracord will shrink when it gets wet, so it is VERY IMPORTANT that you preshrink the cord before you start to braid. If you don't, the first time that you walk your dog in the rain, your leash will get all misshapen and lumpy.
To preshrink the cord, soak it in hot water for about five minutes and then hang it to dry. You can toss it in a pillow case, knot it closed and dry it in the dryer as well, it's your choice. I like to preshrink a bunch at a time so that I always have plenty on hand when I need it.
I am making a five foot leash, with a five inch allowance for a handle loop. To determine how much paracord that you will need, break down the length of your project into inches and multiply by four. 65″ X 4 = 260″ so I will need 2 separate paracord strands that are EACH 260″ long.
Tools That You Will Need
These tools are essential when braiding with paracord. You will need two hemostat clamps, a C-clamp, scissors, a small flexible measuring tape and a wood burning tool.
Step 1 – Arranging the Paracord Strands
For simplicity sake, I have used four different coloured cords and spliced them together to make two cords of four different colours. I like to use a C-clamp to fasten the snap to the table top so that my work stays steady. You can also just use a scrap of paracord and tie the snap to a table leg, stair railing or anything else that is stable. However, using this method will make your work twist about and can be frustrating for the beginner. Now, lay the two pieces of the paracord side by side, over the ring of the snap.
Step 2 – Braiding Move One
Grasp the cords in both hands, placing a good, light tension on all the strands. Cross PINK over TAN. BLACK goes to the outside left and BROWN to the outside right.
Step 2 – Braiding Move Two
Take BLACK and cross behind TAN and then cross over PINK
Step 4 – Braiding Move Three
Cross BROWN behind the braid and then cross over BLACK. The NEXT step (not shown) will be to cross TAN behind the braid and then cross over BROWN. You will always be adding to the braid with the strand of paracord that is on top of all the other strands. Continue braiding until you have 65″ or finished braid. Use your flexible measuring tape, measuring from the beginning of the snap to the end of the finished braid.
Step 5 – Clamping Off the Cord
Use one of your hemostat clamps to clamp off the end of your cord. Notice that I haven't clamped off BROWN. (your coloured cord might be different, it just depends when you stopped braiding.) This is the next cord to be braided and is very important in the next step.
Step 6 – Measuring The Braid For The Handle Loop
From the END of the braid, measure five inches and fold the cord over. Examine the braid to see where a BROWN strand crosses the braid, and poke your other hemostat clamp under it. Open the hemostat, grip the BROWN cord and clamp the hemostat closed. Now you will pull the BROWN cord all the way through the braid.
Step 7 – Back Braid Move Two
You can now remove the hemostat clamp that secures the end of the braid. Locate the PINK strand that crosses through the braid that is closest to BROWN. Poke the hemostat through, grip the loose PINK cord, clamp the hemostat and pull PINK all the way through.
Step 8 – Back Braid Move Three
Locate the TAN strand that passes through the braid and repeat step 7.
Step 9 – Back Braid Move Four
The final step is to locate where the BLACK strand passes through the braid and repeat step 7.
Step 10 – Finishing The Back Braiding Process
Now that you have a handle, it has to be stabilized by further back braiding. Keep repeating steps six to nine, three or four more times to create a sturdy back braid.
Step 11 – Trimming The Loose Ends of Paracord
Now that you have completed your back braid, you need to properly finish the ends. Take your scissors and cut the cords close to the braid. Now is the time to plug in your wood burning tool and allow a few minutes to let it heat up.
Step 12 – Melting The Ends Of The Paracord
The woodburner usually takes three to five minutes to get hot enough to melt the paracord. To properly melt the cord, gently run the woodburner over the cut cord in a sweeping motion. To make your leash look good, melt the cord against the same coloured cord that is directly below it. Before you switch colours, quickly swipe the tip of the woodburner over a damp cloth to clean it. Do this carefully since the tip gets very hot!
Close Up Of The Melted Cords
When done properly, the melted cords will match almost seamlessly into the cord below. It takes a little practice, so don't get flustered if you don't get it on the first try.
Admire Your Finished Leash!
So there you have it! Your leash is done and your dog is begging you to go for a walk! When your leash gets dirty, just toss it into the washing machine with your clothes. I have heard of some people putting their leashes in the dishwasher! Isn't paracord amazing?

Lush gardens, historic homes, and warm walking tours with good company—nothing celebrates the arrival of spring like Virginia's Historic Garden Week, and the annual event is fast approaching! "Every April, visitors are welcomed to more than 250 of Virginia's most beautiful gardens, homes and historic landmarks during 'America's Largest Open House.'"
The first garden tour nearby the Iris Inn is on April 26, 2014 at Morven Estate in Charlottesville: "Morven, a three-story brick manor house built in the late-Georgian/Federal Style, dates to 1820. The land on which it sits was part of the original Carter family land grant and was known to Thomas Jefferson as 'Indian Camp.'" The estate was passed from Jefferson to his adoptive son William Short. It was then passed on to others until it was finally owned by John Kluge, who generously gifted the estate to the University of Virginia. A bit of trivia for you: "Morven" is a Scottish word that means "ridge of the hills."
Saturday, May 30, 2013 is the Staunton, Waynesboro, and Stuarts Draft Tour, with a theme of "From Colonial Expansion to Colonial Revival." You have the opportunity to explore a 200-year old house, a Colonial Revival private residence, a bed and breakfast, and Fishburne Military School. (Since these towns are a few miles away from each other, this will be a driving tour.)
Book your calendar, and reserve your room at the Iris Inn. You won't want to miss out on this indulgence in history, gardens, and springtime in Virginia.

Salmon-pink flowers top all zinnias for beauty in the garden. Large, mostly double blooms are superb for cut flower use. (Annual, 24-36″ tall)
Each packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Start seeds indoors 3 to 4 weeks before setting out after frost; or sow seeds in place outdoors at about the last frost in spring. In either case, sow in fine, moist soil and cover lightly. Germination is accelerated by warm temperatures. If kept moist, seedlings will appear within a few days.
Final position in the garden should be in full sun. Allow about 1 foot from one plant to its neighbor, as these are big plants. Thrives in summer heat. Picking spent blooms prolongs bloom season.

Norfolk Olympians and Paralympians visiting Carrow Park to meet the Community Sports Foundation staff and players from the girls' centre of excellence. From left, Colin Oates, Anna Bentley, Anthony Ogogo, Jessica-Jane Applegate and Mel Clarke.Photo: Steve Adams
Mark Shields
Sunday, October 21, 2012
Our region's Olympic and Paralympic heroes sprinkled a little of their inspirational stardust at Carrow Road on Saturday evening.
Bronze medal-winning boxer Anthony Ogogo, Paralympic champion Jessica-Jane Applegate, archery silver medallist Mel Clarke, fencer Anna Bentley, judo player Colin Oates and wheelchair basketball player Amy Conroy were presented to the Carrow Road crowd at half time on Saturday.
And it appeared their winning mentality rubbed off on the players as the Canaries kept Arsenal at bay in the second half for their first league win of the season.
Before the match, the London 2012 group were at Carrow Park to meet players from Norwich City's girls' centre of excellence, in a visit organised by the club's Community Sports Foundation. The Olympians and Paralympians received a guard of honour before being treated to an exhibition of the girls' talents.
The opportunity was too much to resist for bronze medal-winner Anthony Ogogo, above, who displayed some silky skills to of his own to score a backheel, before promptly substituting himself.
He said: "The girls have definitely got some talent, and they were giving me a run for my money.
"This is what sport is all about: the grass roots. Wherever I go I try to convey the message that this is where it starts.
"I'm from a small town, Lowestoft, which is hardly a hotbed of boxing, so if I was able to do it then anyone can."
The visit was a chance for Olympians and Paralympians to bask once more in the enthusiasm and love for sport that swept the country during the summer.
"It's been brilliant," he said. "Everyone has been so supportive, but especially in East Anglia – I couldn't think of a better place to hail from."
Former Norwich High School pupil Anna Bentley, who reached the quarter-finals of the team foil event, said she had seen first-hand the effect of the games at her former fencing club that morning.
"They are all so keen to get into competition now, not just competing in the club. It's fantastic to see how enthusiastic they are," she said.
A lifelong Norwich fan, who was a regular at Carrow Road "during the glory years" of the mid-1990s, she said the chance to walk on the Carrow Road turf was the biggest perk of her Olympic efforts.
"We've all had so many opportunities since the games, but this has got to be the best," she said.
Daniel Wynne, of the Community Sports Foundation said the Olympics and Paralympics had sparked a surge in interest in the CSF's activities, in particular from schools.
"London 2012 inspired our community to get involved, and they have really got hold of the excitement of the games.
"Inviting the athletes was our chance to say thank you for the summer of sport they gave us and to show them that the legacy they aimed to leave is already in effect."

It looks like "free software" is becoming a little less free these days. I got a new computer earlier this year and just realized my favorite screenprint software wasn't on it; so I went to download it last night. Well, bad news. It seems the download site here now attaches a little piece of adware to your install to cash in on your free download. There may have been a way to avoid it; but I don't remember – it was late and who reads these things anyways?
Well, the adware in question forces you to use something called "claro-search" for lots of functions. It'll hyperlink words on various websites for an advertisement, change your Firefox/Chrome search to Claro Search instead of Google or Bing or whatever. It'll also reset your homepage to Claro Search. As if that weren't annoying enough, it'll also install a toolbar. Removal doesn't seem to be difficult, just annoying.
To Remove Claro Search in Firefox, use these steps:
If you use the built in search function, click the down arrow and select "Manage Search Engines". When the popup appears, select Claro Search and Click Remove.
Then, go to Tools->Add-ons and and look in your Extensions and Plugins tabs for Claro Toolbar and Claro Ads. Remove both of them.
Finally, go to your Windows Control Panel and find the Chrome Claro Toolbar and the Firefox one. Remove both.
Reload your browsers and you should be good to go. Also reset your homepage.
Guess that's the last time I download anything from softonic.com – unbelievable.

The other day I flexed my neck muscles while looking in the mirror. To my surprise, the left side of my neck totally stuck out way farther than the right side. But there was no pain.
I have had a sore neck and shoulder for a week prior to noticing this, but on the right side.
Not sure if the bulging is tendons, or muscular. Do you think something is herniated? Is this just due to less activity and getting older? I am a 39 year old female.
Thanks! --Lmabes

This week's Irish Blogger Gathering is brought to us by OC Domer – a Notre Dame blogger subjected to USC much more than most of us. Be sure to check out his responses to these questions with the link above and see my responses below.
1. Notre Dame played perhaps its best game of the year in a win over the Utah Utes two weeks ago. Utah remains ranked at #23 in the Associated Press poll. Notre Dame likewise took Michigan State (AP #11) to overtime before losing on a fake field goal. Therefore the Irish should have no trouble with this unranked Trojan squad. Agree or disagree? Show your work.
The transitive property of wins and losses never holds true in college football – especially in the case of a rivalry game like Notre Dame-USC. That doesn't taken into account USC's recent dominance of the series either and despite their lack of a top 25 ranking this year, the Trojans are still a very solid football team with playmakers on both sides of the ball.
USC's record might not be what most Trojan fans became accustomed to under Pete Carroll, but USC has played some very good football teams tough. They took Stanford down to the wire and hung with Oregon for about three quarters until their lack of depth caught up to them and the Ducks ran away with it.
At the same time, USC was hanging by a thread for a couple of weeks before getting blown out by Oregon State last weekend. Three weeks ago they squeaked by Arizona State and two weeks ago hung on to a three point win over Arizona.
The X-factor here is what USC team shows up? The one that played Stanford and Oregon tough or the one that got blown out by Oregon State and doesn't have a chance to play in a bowl game because of USC's probation? The lack of a bowl game can work for or against the Irish here. On one hand, they could treat the Notre Dame game as their bowl game while on the other they could be lacking motivation after last week.
Bottom line – this year's game is about as unpredictable as any Notre Dame – USC game in recent memory.
2. It is almost time for the OC Domer Player of the Year to be named. This award is intended to recognize the Notre Dame football player or players who played the best when it mattered the most. Suffice it to say that the primary criterion is a consistently high level of play, with significant bonus points awarded for exceeding expectations. Injuries have taken many of the pre-season favorites for this prestigious award out of the running. Who is your nominee for this award, and why?
The offense has been too inconsistent and injured this year for the award to reside on that side of the ball so I'll turn my attention to defense where I see three candidates – Manti Te'o, Gary Gray, and Harrison Smith. Te'o is the most obvious choice because of his tackle totals and his big hits, but Gray and Smith both deserve some serious consideration. Gray has been as close to a shutdown corner as Notre Dame has had in years. He doesn't have a lot of interceptions because teams just have not been targeting him in the passing game.
Harrison Smith meanwhile might be the most improved player on the team. Smith is tied for the team lead in interceptions with 3 and ranks second on the team in tackles behind Te'o. He's a completely different player than the one we've seen bounced around between linebacker and safety the last two years and he's just starting to play his best football.
At the end of the day, I'd give it to Te'o, but with Gray and Smith both back for the Irish next year, the secondary should be in fine shape.
Side note – If Ian Williams had stayed healthy all season, he'd be the hands down winner here.
3. With a delicate flavor similar to beef, though slightly sweeter than other meats, horse meat can be used to replace beef, pork, mutton, and any other meat in virtually any recipe, though most aficionados prefer it in marinated or spicy dishes. Nutritionally, horse meat has around 40 percent fewer calories than the leanest beef, while supplying 50 percent more protein and as much as 30 percent more iron; and horse fat is considered an excellent health-conscious deep-frying alternative, especially for delicately-flavored foods that are easily overpowered by heavier oils. What is your favorite horse meat recipe?
Ummm…. I got nothing here.
4. Do you miss Pat Haden, who left the Notre Dame television broadcasts to become athletic director at USC?
I don't miss Haden in the booth at all. Mayock has been a much better color commentator because of his understanding of the game. I could have done with him saying "Bobby Diaco" as many times as he has all season, but he's been much easier to listen to than Haden.
Now, if only there was something we could do about getting the guy sitting next to Mayock replaced.
5. USC is the Notre Dame rival I love to hate. What Notre Dame rival do you most despise, and why?
Until the Pete Carroll Era at USC, I never had many ill feelings towards USC since the Trojans were Notre Dame's oldest rival. The Carroll Era changed that, but mainly because of the beatings his squads dealt out to the Irish over the last 8 years. With Lane Kiffin's polarizing personality roaming the Southern Cal sidelines now, it's probably going to be even easier to hate the Trojans.
All of that said, Michigan is still the Notre Dame rival I despise the most. Many people tend to forget that Michigan and Fielding Yost went out of their way to try and derail the Notre Dame football program before it ever got off the ground. Back in the early days of Notre Dame football, Michigan was also instrumental in keeping the Irish out of the Western Conference (now the Big 10). Throw in Bo Schembechler's "to hell with Notre Dame" and it's a lot easier to hate Michigan than USC.
6. Reggie Bush got a car, his parents a house. Rumors of Cam Newton's dad seeking money for his sons services aren't going away. Can Notre Dame compete for athletic recruits in this environment? Or do you believe these incidents are the exceptions to an otherwise clean recruiting landscape?
Of course Notre Dame can complete for recruits in this environment. As recently as three years ago Notre Dame had the 2nd best recruiting class in the country according to most recruiting services after one of the worst seasons in Notre Dame history. While Charlie Weis's recruiting classes had some glaring holes in them from year to year (usually along the defensive line and defensive backfield), he showed that Notre Dame can compete for elite prospects with all of the other major powers in college football.
Notre Dame's biggest problem in recruiting has had less to do with the weather in South Bend, the academic standards at Notre Dame, or any improprieties at other universities and more to do with the product on the field. Until Notre Dame starts playing consistently well on both sides of the ball, there will be struggles in recruiting in some form or another. Even when Weis was signing top 10 classes, the holes that existed came in areas where Notre Dame struggled. It was no coincidence that the Irish had little trouble signing quarterbacks and wide receivers with Weis in charge but struggled landing elite defensive prospects.
If Brian Kelly can right the ship and point the Irish in the right direction, recruiting will take care of itself. Kelly and staff have shown that they can recruit with the big boys already. If they back it up with W's, Notre Dame will just fine in recruiting.
Side note – one of the old staff's biggest problems in recruiting was relying on stars and rankings and not focusing on getting great athletes. Oregon doesn't make a lot of waves in recruiting, but they have great athletes and coach them up. If Kelly can do that as well while backing it up with wins, the Irish will not have some of the talent ad depth issues that have been a problem in the past.

good post – since horsemeat is more tough and course than most, i like to pulverize my horsemeat until it is nice and tender, then roast it on an open flame.
you mentioned oregon and recruiting, i was reading another article where the author said that oregon st. has more talent than nd. thought that was interesting since, while nd has had a top 25 recruiting class each of the last 5 years, ore st. has none. i think it shows how important it is to coach up whatever talent you bring in the door.
i think harrison smith is a microcosm of this. 4.4, quick, strong, good hands, but under weis he was just another guy making terrible plays on a bad defense. now, as ocdomer pointed out, he has been johnny on the spot making heady, athletic plays this year.
excited to see what we can do on defense next year, does ian have a fifth year possibility?
john commented on November 26th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
no reason to think we would have a chance even with a healthy Stewart, Ruduloph, Floyd, Riddick, Jones, Armando, Joe Montana, the Rocket, Lujac, Tim Brown, Paul Hornung as Utility man Knute Rockne as coach as long as the Pac 10 officials are handling the game

Power run the ball commented on November 27th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
I am so excited about the 1st Half i had to chime in.
Let me start by saying I am a big Coach Kelly Critic/ Basher…
I feel like he is doing a complete 180… Running the ball playing conservative ( ball control offense which he publicly protested against)especially when they have bad field position… OUTSTANDING..
Second getting Floyd the ball… He is a beast…Defense play well — stay with Brian Smith in the middle he is making more plays…
******he line up with flemming and shembo as defensive ends and played with Kapron lewis and Ethan on the inside after their 1st score*************************************************************
I love that look for pass downs…
Wood/Hughes are starting to look like a nice 1 -2 punch which if wood stops thinking out there an continues to attack like hughes he will be that much better….
ND played a great 1 st half even though there were plenty of mistakes I am thrilled to see Coach Kelly change his philosophy..
SMart Coaching..
Go ND! Stay Hungry[Reply]

tommy651 commented on November 28th, 2010 at 12:28 am
well you have to admit it this team is better now then at the beginning of the year. although usc is mediorce this year nd just won a game in which they overcame a horrendous game by their quarterback. their defense played terrific, they overcame a fourth quarter deficit, they rammed the ball down usc's throat on the last touchdown drive. where was that running all year long? i am a very happy notre dame fan. i can't stand usc ever since they beat notre dame in 1956. yeah thats right 1956.
SteelFanRob commented on November 28th, 2010 at 12:38 am
My "prediction" of a season-ending 3-game winning streak doesn't look so crazy now! I was called out by some people here as crazy for even suggesting ND could win its last 3 games. (Check the records, I said ND could win its last 3 games.) Ironically, none of the eternal optimists on the board came out and staked their ND loyalty by boldly claiming ND would win its last 3 games. So much for me being negative! I just had a gut feeling that we'd reached bottom after Tulsa. Don't ask me how or why. I had a similar gut feeling after the Steelers lost to the Bengals in 2005 to make their record 7-5. I then told my Stillers mates that we'd somehow make the playoffs. (PLAYOFFS! my buds mocked me imitating Jim Mora.) Plus, I told them that if we did make the playoffs, we'd go a long way. Sure enough, a long way was all the way to SB 40 and a win over the "Sea-birds." Just had that same feeling wash over me after I got over the Tulsa loss. Weird. Can't really explain it.

Let's keep it about the huge ND win over USC instead of the self praise on your fortune telling. As My aunt mildred says "Self Praise is no praise". Shame on you Steel Fan. Shame on you. This should be about ND and not your predictions or the Steelers or Jim Mora. Shame on you!!!! Shame on you!!!![Reply]

He was right.
He's right about a lot if you read the posts.
Enjoy the victory—he's right–we hit rock bottom—
and MAYBE things are turning-one thing for sure-
Keffen looked like deer in the headlights -he sucked at Tennessee and I hope he does just as well at USC -since Pete the Cheat Carroll is gone!
THanks Steel for keeping it real. WE ARE —ND-
this is a time for unity for all who TRULY love ND-
I'm ecstatic–let all join in the fun.
Please Lucky–don't be so self-righteous.[Reply]

Good point Irish Eyes.
I do not know why I let that pompous fool Steel Fan get my goat. His posts just seem to me to be more about his predictions and the Steelers than about ND. I need to take a step back and realize he is is a ND fan and we all should unite under this monumental victory. Steel Fan: Here's to ND. Let's bury the hatchet my friend. GO IRISH!!!!!!SteelFanRob replied on November 28th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Thanks, bro, for having my back! It's really appreciated.
It's funny how according to Lep I'm the pompous one. Wow! Really? Do you not see how self-righteous you sound in your post to me, Lep?!
I was just trying to be positive about ND football, Lep. That's all. Way to throw me under the bus for wanting to be right about being hopeful about ND football. That's really being a comrade.
BTW: If you want a prediction from me, lep, note that right after SC took the lead I posted about ND getting a TD-winning drive going. Was I right, Lep? I'm happy I was! Not for my sake but for the sake of ND football. Shame on you for suggesting otherwise.
But, like I said, I'll bury the hatchet and be happy with you,, Lep, about ND's end of season.
Go Irish!!!
SteelFanRob replied on November 28th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
I love it! People gloat all the time on this board when they make "predictions". Just a few weeks ago, everyone here was going on and on about "Big Daddy's" "prediction" about beating Utah. In fact, my post wasn't about my "prediction" at all (that's why I put the word prediction in parenthesis). It was simply about how I had an unexplained gut feeling ND was going to finish the season strong. How's that for optimism for you?! I've been called "negative". Now, when I'm "positive" I'm called "pompous."
Lep –You want to bury the hatchet by calling me a "pompous fool." Really?! Talk about being both pompous and a fool. The only fools, Lep, are people like you who can't make any solid arguments and prefer instead to call people names.
As far as I know, Lep, I've never exchanged words with you until now. So I didn't realize there was a hatchet to bury. But I'm willing to do so out of our mutual respect for ND football. Consider the hatchet buried on my end.

Sweet win for ND. They won with a fresh QB. Their D was very dominant. And I want to remind everyone that this is USC. There is no shortage of talent on this team. ND shut them down. If it were not for the turnovers, this is a blowout. this confirms for me that Kelly is taking this team back to the next level. The guy has been everything that we expected. Teo is something special. Prince is going to be a great one. Can I give the game ball to Hughes and Brian Smith. They are what ND is all about. Two great seniors.
nd forever replied on November 28th, 2010 at 12:56 am
Lucky Lep,
Well said this USC team is talented even without Barkley at Qb.Pete Carrol didn't leave the cupboard bare.What a turn around for this team and especially defense, people can say what they will but Tulsa could put up some pionts.Kelly is building a program and I know I have said this before but sometimes you have to tear everything down before you build it back up, can't always patch a whole sometimes you have to knock down the whole damn wall and start from scratch.Go IRISH GO KELLY keep on building these young men.[Reply]

ted commented on November 28th, 2010 at 1:20 am
great win!
when was the last time you saw nd's d-line dominate like that? we held them to 80 yards rushing on 30 attempts! this d-line is only getting better.
corners played great, h smith was great in run support, even though he almost gave up the score at the end (thank you usc for the choke job) he redeemed himself with the game winning pic.
b.smith played great in pass defense, at least 3 break-ups that i can recall. teo played great, except when he slipped and gave up a 30 yard pass to the fb.
can you believe this is the same defense as last year? complete turn-around. the best part is we will have 8 returning starters, losing ian, b smith, and walls (assuming h smith and gray will be getting a fifth year).
offense will come around. everyone played well except tommy, but you can't expect a true freshman to be flawless. the improvement in the run game is enough evidence for me to believe we can be an all-around good team next year.
This is what good coaching looks like guys. Weight-training, discipline, consistency, and TEAM football.
irisheye62 commented on November 28th, 2010 at 2:08 am
I hoped but never thought that ND would beat BOTH UTAH AND USC
in the same month especially after the last weekend in October.
Here are some thoughts:
Biggest Margin of Victory-25 over 14 Utah who was ranked 5th week before
Largest Margin of Loss- 23 to a top ten Stanford team
btw heading for school record in wins I'm not one to compliment the Cardinal but it is the truth -they are a great team.
Closest Margin in Loss- 1 -uggh
Closest Margin in Victory- 4
Worst Thing about the Season–last part of October
Best Part of Season -three wins in November turning season around
The Losses for sure: Stanford, Navy
The Games that "could have been" Mich, Mich. St. last week of OctoberGiven all that -young team, baby face QB looks younger than my own,
new system and defense suddenly actually PLAYING
but I thought 7-5 was a tall order after Halloween
Thanksgiving weekend sure ended nicely

This team WANTS to run the ball! The last 3 victories have come because Kelly made it a point to POUND the football. We have the backs to do it. If you ask Reese to throw the ball 25+ times you can expect him to make multiple mistakes with reads throughout the game. It's just going to happen. I don't care that there were tip balls… blah, blah, blah.
Roll him out… shot-gun… under-center… what ever…
Pound the ball and ask the kid to to complete 12-15 passes a game.
Our DEFENSE is playing some spectacular football! They have shown us that they are hungry and keep to opposing team out of the end zone. They are playing with attitude.
Monti, Gray, Smith (Harrison), Smith (Brian) and some younger guys are playing really…really well!
I really hope that Kelly recognizes that we can be a spread team… with a GREAT running game and have a DEFENSIVE personality too…
Bring on the next game and recruits!

So…. What does this mean Bowl wise?
IrishChan commented on November 28th, 2010 at 3:25 am
Notre Dame ended up playing 10 bowl-eligible teams this season. The only two that didn't earn that distinction was Purdue, because of its record (4-8), and USC, because of probation

Irish Chan–good post—never thought of that—
never had that in my head–wow—-
I'm so excited I could not sleep and off to Church–

Thanks for the stat –10 bowl teams
young team-
fresh. qb
Tragedy–( and my heart still breaks for the family –more than words can say)ND still standing-thanks for the stat

Program helping uninsured Texans, government offering millions
Tyler, Texas (KETK) — October marks the deadline for uninsured Texans to apply for health insurance and with Obamacare changes approaching the federal government has hired 'Navigators' to help people buy health insurance.
Eight organizations in East Texas will receive funds to help people enroll in an insurance plan.
"They come up with these wonderful ideas yet they obligate us the American people to pay for it," says Criss Sudduth, President & Insurance Agent at Ark Assurance in Tyler.
More than 67- million dollars in grants will be awarded in the U.S. to help people enroll in health plans offered through the Affordable Health Care Act.
Health and Human Services Department says, the funds will be used to train and hire navigators to get the uninsured on board before January 1st.
It's reported, United Way in North Texas will receive close to a 6-million dollar grant and they will use the money to help East Texas organizations.
Ketk spoke to East Texas insurance agents from Ark Assurance say it's not a good idea.
"We got finger-printed we got background-checks ran us we have to carry errors and admissions coverage with us incase we make a major mistake just to make sure everyone is protected and with the navigators most of this stuff doesn't happen," says Craig Smith, Insurance Agent at Ark Assurance in Tyler.
"From what we understand anyone can be a navigator there's no specific background or anything else required all you have to do is apply take a course and past a test and you're a navigator," says Sudduth.
All they need is a 20 to 30 hour online course.
"The public is also going to suffer because I don't think they're going to have those navigators well educated and well trained as much as an insurance agent," says Jana McJunkins, Insurance Agent at Ark Assurance in Tyler.
We're told more than 2-million uninsured Texans will be eligible for a tax break to help them get health insurance.

The sherry is clean and evident from the offing. Dry and ripe with a well-balanced acidity from the white grape and pleasant, yet gentle, sweetness. The palate is well-balanced and all on the rich sherry notes. The juicy sultanas and soft barley sugar are present in spades. Notes of dry sherry and a beautiful vinous character. The oak rises with crisp authority as the cereal notes develop, as does a touch of warmth. The finish is long with more sherry, the barley has come into its own and the oaked backcloth is quite the canvas.

First day? Welcome!
True or False: You're ready to achieve your higher education and career goals? That's what we thought. And that's what we're here for. From college to career-we've got you covered. So get going! Your future's waiting.
Musicians include rock stars, opera singers, folk guitarists, jazz pianists, violinists, drummers —anybody who creates and performs music. Musicians consist of a broad group of artists who play musical instruments, sing, compose, and arrange music in a variety of settings. They perform before live audiences or record in music studios. Instrumental musicians use such items as the saxophone, guitar, drums, piano, or clarinet to create music. Singers use their voice. Composers are the creators of original music. Orchestra conductors lead orchestras and bands, and choral directors direct choirs, singing clubs, and other vocal ensembles. It's a tough field, but individuals in it usually feel an inner compulsion to play and share their music, so much so that they're willing to sacrifice a lot. "Music is in the soul, so I must play on and on; it's a given," says one saxophonist who finally signed a major recording contract. Some lucky musicians—orchestra members, opera singers, and a few pop artists—make a living at their profession. Very few become rich and famous—Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Paul McCartney, and Aimee Mann are rare examples—but most musicians are happy just to be able to play for an audience once in a while. The serious musician spends a lot of time practicing and rehearsing. "You have to constantly better your best, for you're only as good as your last performance," said one musician. Musicians also spend a substantial amount of time on the road, traveling to and from performances, or just seeking performing opportunities. Since most musicians' gigs are at night and on weekends, those people who don't fully support themselves through their art often take day jobs to cover the bills. Musicians can play and compose for a variety of sources. The television, motion picture, and advertising industries employ musicians to perform live shows, score music for movies, and compose and arrange theme songs for television programs and advertisements. Theater orchestras provide live music for plays and other productions. Because live audiences and auditions are a fact of life for musicians seeking to establish a reputation or find a niche, they must be able to deal with their anxieties and deliver a quality performance in front of any gathering of people. Musicians face rejection all the time, but the most disciplined individuals maintain confidence in their abilities; they can never allow themselves to become complacent if success is the goal. Most of them work at small-time gigs wherever they can—in clubs and churches and at weddings, birthdays, and bar mitzvahs—while waiting for their big breaks.
The road to becoming an accomplished musician starts at a very early age and involves rigorous study and training. For singers, training begins when their voices mature, and it never ends. Most other musicians start to play their instruments very early in their lives. Some musicians enter into private study with a highly reputed master musician, while others pursue a formal training program at a college or university, gaining a degree in music or music education. Talent, persistence, and having excellent mentors are essential to becoming a good musician. For the recording artist, entertainment lawyers have become more of a necessity than even a manager, whereas musicians who rely mainly on live performances require only a road manager (if gigs pay enough to salary one) and an independent booking agent. Mastering the convoluted relationships among agents,managers, lawyers, and other industry professionals is a job in itself.
Musicians almost never give up music completely. Even when they leave for more stable, lucrative fields, they often seek out nightclub engagements at nights and on weekends. Take, for example, director Woody Allen, still playing his clarinet atMichael's Pub in New York on occasion. Some musicians find music-related jobs as teachers, songwriters, and even music therapists. Musicians with vast technical knowledge may find an opening in the specialized area of instrument repairs and tuning. They may also find jobs as music librarians, critics, and disc jockeys. Those who enjoy the business side may become concert managers, booking agents, music industry executives, and publicists. Some go into the sales and marketing of musical instruments and record store management.

First off: I like this stuff. My wife loves it. I know it is not well respected by pureists or snobs. I want to make something similar. OK Here is my plan after a dozen or so AG batches under my belt. Half of a standard 5G batch. Aproximate Grain bill: 6# 2-row 2# wheat Dilute or boil down to 1.050 Ferment with a clean neutural yeast, or maybe one with a little but not too much Belgian funk. Stop attenuation with campden or similar at about half way or 2-3% ABV around 1.025 Add 4# of raspberies frozen then pasteurized at 160F, and cooled to "beer" during transfer to "secondary" Force carbonate and test. What would be best to sweeten further with? Corn Syrup? Table sugar syrup? Remember this would be post-fermentation. What kind of yest would give it a bit more "foreign" or Belgian flavor? Am I way off on any points here? Going to give it a whirl tomorrow and see how it goes. Im not afraid to dump it if it is crap, and I will be trying a few times at least to get close to what I want. Thanks for any hints or tips here.
The hops used in lambics are aged for a while so that they do not add bitterness. White Labs makes a few Lambic strains which include the bacteria that make these beers so unique (http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/bacteria.html). One question: why cut it off at 2 or 3%? Good luck with this project, and keep us posted. My SWMBO is not a big drinker, and this is one of the few things she will drink. - magno
I don't like lambics, but if any part of your recipe needs some aged hops, there's some over at Aside from that, I'm not much help
I think Im not going to bother w/ hops at all. The "beer" I am cloning is only 2.3% ABV Almost undetectable. THis is an experiment. The "Lambic" strains I supose would be a bit more apropriate, but I am not going to let it go so dry, in my efforts to copy this stuff. If you've ever had it, you know what I mean. I will be taking carefull notes as I will be trying a few combinations on this project and will post my findings. -edit- Actually, if I used something like Brett to get the sourness and acidic character, would that all be lost if I sweetned it back up? Sweet/Sour are not mutually exclusive, I hope. WLP645 Brettanomyces claussenii has the mildest of the brett characteristics.
I'm very curious to hear where you can take this one. Sounds interesting.
When people ask what I do for a living, I say I brew beer. No, not as a profession, but to live.
I've read somewhere that if you use your brewing gear to make a lambic, you can't use it to make non-lambics ever again. Apparently the bacteria just doesn't go away.
Yeah, the pros have separate equipment for working with lambics.
Once the wind has been broken, it cannot be fixed.
I know where you're going with the fermentation stop. I'm really a beginner, but I tried to make something similar to Lindeman's for the wife, too. I made a normal 1.045 batch with US 56, half wheat, and added about 3 lbs of raspberries (2.5 gal batch). The result was what you're probably trying to avoid by stopping fermentation: basically raspberry wine. It has very light body, is dry, and only after 3 months has the tartness of the raspberries mellowed. It certainly is lacking in body and sweetness, compared to Lindy's. And of course the brett would have contributed it's unique quality. I've tried adding sugar (why not, right?) but as expected, that just tastes weird. So, I'm curious to see how yours turns out and I think you have a good plan. Despite the huge amount of fruit in them, commercial fruit lambics are usually quite low in alcohol. Perhaps the unfermented sugars go toward making up the body and mouthfeell that my batch lacked. Good luck! monk
You might want to check this recipe out: http://skotrat.com/skotrat/recipes/a...recipes/2.html Also, use frozen raspberries. It will be a lot cheaper and the freeze/thaw process breaks up the cell walls of the fruit releasing more juice.

Brogan, who is now the chancellor of the State University
System of Florida (SUS), was back at it in yesterday's Orlando Sentinel. The
newspaper ran a story entitled: "Brogan to FAMU: Cut number of low-performing
Denise-Marie Ordway, the article's author, declined to tell
her readers about Brogan's graduation rate record at FAU.
Ordway also failed to mention that FAU and Florida International
University (FIU) barely graduate more students than FAMU in six years despite
the fact that they only admit a very small number of students who don't meet
the SUS's standard admissions requirements. FAU and FIU's six-year graduation
rates were both 41 percent in 2010-2011.
That information is in the SUS records, but Orlando Sentinel
reporters like Ordway still refuse to acknowledge it. They would rather ignore
those facts in order to print more slanted articles against FAMU. Highlighting comparative information about Brogan's FAU record and FAMU's ability to keep pace with FAU and FIU's graduation rates would undercut the biased news coverage.

He describes the religious art and architecture of Olympia and Delphi, the pictures and inscriptions at Athens, the statue of Athena on the Acropolis, and (outside the city) the monuments of famous men and of Athenians fallen in battle.

Yacouba Sylla has declared himself raring to go in Aston Villa's battle to avoid relegation after completing his move to Villa Park.
The deadline-day capture of Sylla on a three-and-a-half-year contract is the only signing of the January transfer window for Villa, who are currently 19th in the top flight.
The 22-year-old is eligible to make his debut in Saturday's league clash with Everton at Goodison Park and Sylla says he cannot wait to help his new team in their bid to get out of trouble.
"I'm very excited about the prospect of playing for Aston Villa and also to be playing in the Premier League," said Sylla, who has represented France at Under-21 level.
"The manager (Paul Lambert) is building a dynamic and exciting young team here and there are players also with a lot of experience.
"I can't wait to fight for the club and help the club to climb the table.
"My first task will be to integrate myself with my new team-mates and to help those around me to grow and to build with them a strong team. I'm thrilled to be part of this.
"Playing at Villa Park will be unbelievable. It is a huge stadium with a great history and the crowd will be incredible. You dream about this when you become a footballer.
"I can hopefully help the team when we're defending against our opposition and to get the ball moving forward. I know the fans are very passionate and it will be great to get started as soon as possible.
"The club has made me feel very welcome already. The facilities at the training ground are first-class and I will be very proud when I put on the shirt and play my first game. I am looking forward to this very much."
Sylla, who has expressed his admiration for the "strong and forceful" playing style of Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote, has been with Ligue 2 outfit Clermont since 2009.
He has been linked with a number of teams around Europe, and having secured Sylla's signature, manager Paul Lambert will be hoping his new recruit can provide decent protection for a Villa defence which has looked incredibly vulnerable at times this season.
Lambert said: "Yacouba will add a bit of steel into the midfield which will help the other lads in there.
"Even though he's still a young guy, there were a few teams interested and closely monitoring him. I think he'll do well.
"Hopefully, he adapts quickly and gives us something to complement the guys around him.
"Physically, he's strong for it and, although he'll be new to it, he's raring to go."

The Chateau has a new website (you are currently viewing the old one). Take a look! Visit the Chateau's new Chateau Dining Room page.
In a world of corporate uniformity and increasing globalization we strive to bring you a uniquely local experience.
We coordinate with local farmers to grow the herbs and vegetables that we use and whenever possible we purchase locally raised meat, poultry and dairy.
We select buffalo from just over the hill in Williams, and vegetables and greens from Kerbyville Farms in the Illinois Valley.
Our goal is to support and encourage sustainable agriculture in addition to offering you healthful and exceptionally tasty cuisine. By providing outlets for local products, we help make our valley an even nicer place to live.
We welcome special requests to accommodate your dietary needs.Casual dress is encouraged; the Chateau is smoke-free.
