Inspired and adapted from a recipe by Ziggy Gruber as shared in Save the Deli: In Search of Perfect Pastrami, Crusty Rye, and the Heart of Jewish Delicatessen by David Sax.
From David Sax: Ziggy's giant cabbage roll, the very kind he'd been making since he was in grade school, was so surprisingly light and fluffy-that I assumed the meat inside had to have been veal. "No, it's beef, and it's one of the deli's most popular entrees-- a family recipe from his father's side of the family."
Sauce2 cans chopped tomatoes2 tablespoons tomato puree2 cups onions, roughly chopped2 cups brown sugar1-tablespoon paprika1/2 cup white vinegar1/4-teaspoon sour salt3 to 4 cups waterStuffing1 1/2 pounds ground beef3/4-cup rice, cooked11/4 cups finely chopped onion4 eggs, beaten1 teaspoon granulated garlic2 teaspoons salt1/2-teaspoon pepperCabbage1 large cabbage, whole1 medium cabbage, chopped2 cups sauerkraut
Place all sauce ingredients in pot and bring to a boil.Mix all stuffing ingredients together and set aside. In a large pot, bring water to boil. Core out the large cabbage and blanch in the boiling water until soft; remove from water and remove each individual leaf.Place 6 ounces of meat mixture on each cabbage leaf and fold in the sides to the center and roll up, like an egg roll.Layer the bottom of a disposable half-pan with half of the chopped cabbage, then layer with one cup of sauerkraut.Place cabbage rolls on top then add remaining shredded cabbage then remaining sauerkraut. Pour sauce on top, cover tightly and place in a 300-degree oven to bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.Makes six to eight pieces.

Final Score: New England 38, Philadelphia 20
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Tom Brady threw for 361 yards and three
scores as the New England Patriots overcame an early hole to rout the
Philadelphia Eagles, 38-20.
Philadelphia got off to a flying start by taking a quick 10-0 advantage, but
the Patriots outscored the Eagles 38-10 the rest of the way.
"Tom did a good job of really pressing the issue, we felt we had some matchups
that we could take advantage of, that's what Tom does best," Patriots head
coach Bill Belichick said.
Wes Welker caught eight balls for 115 yards and two touchdowns, while Deion
Branch added 125 yards receiving on six catches.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis added a pair of rushing scores for New England (8-3),
which has outscored its opponents 109-39 during its three-game winning streak.
Vince Young got the start for the Eagles as Michael Vick missed his second
consecutive game with a pair of broken ribs. Young completed 26-of-48 passes
for 400 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
LeSean McCoy totaled 31 yards and a score on just 10 carries for the Eagles
(4-7), who fell to 1-5 at Lincoln Financial Field this season.
"Anytime somebody comes in and kicks your tail at your own house it's not a
good thing," Eagles center Jason Kelce said.
Young lofted a beautiful pass to Riley Cooper, who made a nice basket catch
for a 58-yard gain down to the Patriots' four-yard line. McCoy plunged in from
two yards out two plays later to cap off the five-play, 84-yard opening drive.
Following a Patriots punt, Alex Henery connected on a 43-yard field goal to
give the Eagles a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter. DeSean Jackson
hauled in a 44-yard pass to highlight the possession.
The Patriots answered with a 12-play, 80-yard touchdown drive as Green-Ellis
got in from four yards out to make it a 10-7 game late in the first quarter.
New England converted four third downs on the march.
After an Eagles three-and-out, the Patriots went on a four-play, 61-yard
touchdown drive capped off by Green-Ellis' one-yard TD run. Brady found
Branch for a 63-yard catch-and-run down to the Eagles' one-yard line on 3rd-
and-13 to set up the score.
Young attempted to go deep for Jackson down the left sideline on the first
play of Philadelphia's ensuing possession, but the pass was underthrown and
intercepted by Antwaun Molden. The turnover set up Stephen Gostowski for a
39-yard field-goal attempt, but his kick sailed wide right.
Brady found a wide open Welker for a 41-yard score to cap off a five-play, 76-
yard drive to give the Patriots a 21-10 advantage midway through the second
McCoy broke off a 22-yard run, and Brent Celek came down with a 24-yard
reception down to the Patriots' five-yard line. But Jackson dropped a pass in
the end zone on 3rd-and-goal, and Henery connected from 22 yards out to make
it a 21-13 game with just over two minutes to go in the half.
Brady led the Patriots down the field on an eight-play, 52-yard drive, and
Gostowski nailed a 45-yard field goal to give New England a 24-13 lead at
The Patriots increased their lead to 31-13 when Welker hauled in a nine-yard
score to cap off an eight-play, 69-yard march to open the third quarter.
The Eagles moved the ball 78 yards on their ensuing drive as Young found Jason
Avant for a 22-yard completion and Clay Harbor came down with a 25-yard catch,
but Young's pass for Celek on 4th-and-1 fell incomplete.
Brady found Rob Gronkowski over the middle for a 24-yard score to cap off a
lengthy 14-play, 75-yard march which took 7:27 minutes off the clock as New
England increased its lead to 38-13 with just under nine minutes to go in the
fourth quarter.

When a retired law-enforcement professional returns to his hometown of Brooklyn, New York, he finds himself in hot pursuit, but it's not a lead-footed traffic offender he's chasing; it's the ultimate custom Corvette Z06.
"I've owned Corvettes for decades, starting with the C3s I raced when I got out of the Marine Corp," Lou Crisafi tells VETTE. "I competed against Porsches in the parking area at Jack Murphy Stadium, where the San Diego Padres played."
Crisafi owned six third-gen Vettes (ranging from a '71 to a '81), followed by four C4s, and two C5s. In December 2006, he took his supercharged '99 Victory Red coupe to Paramus Chevrolet in Paramus, New Jersey, to have its service department install C6 Z06-style chrome wheels.
"My wheels were still in shipping boxes when I arrived at the dealership to check them out," he says. "That's when Service Manager Tom McLaughlin 'fessed up. 'They just put out a new Z06 in the Corvette showroom upstairs,' he told me.
"That's like telling a cop where the suspect is," Crisafi continues. "I went upstairs, and right where he said--smack dab in the middle of the showroom--was an '07 Velocity Yellow Z06 with a big red bow on it. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it, and I bought it right then and there."
The car was equipped with the Z06's mandatory 7.0L LS7 mill rated at 505 hp, as well as the optional 2LZ Equipment Group (seat-mounted side-impact air bags, power-telescopic steering, auto-dimming mirrors, heated seats, and more) and Q44 Competition Gray Aluminum Wheels. Crisafi says he was in ecstasy, except for one thing--the wheels. "I rushed back to the service department and told them, 'Don't put the wheels on the '99, because I just bought the Z in the showroom. We'll have to return them and get the correct fitment.'"
That was going to be the extent of his mods. "Who's going to modify an $80,000 Corvette?" he asks. "I honestly had my mind set on keeping the Z factory stock, except for the wheels. I even told my buddies in the Brooklyn Vettes car club, 'I'm not touching this car with mods.'"
In April 2007, he swapped out his wheels again--this time for a set of West Coast Corvette's 946 EXT Forged Series. "I was so happy with its new look that I took it to a Corvette-only car show in Long Island and won Third Place," he recalls.
When he returned home from the event, however, he felt different about his Z. As he looked it over--front to rear, engine bay, and interior--he began to imagine all the ways he could customize it. "I was bitten by the mod bug at the car show…bitten good," he says.
To inspire his imagination, he bought a 1?18-scale model C6 and used it as a canvas, drawing stripes on it until he found the look. "I loved the hash marks on the '07 Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Edition Z, and the black hood stripe on the '08 Limited Edition Z," he explains. "In early 2008, I had a local shop paint both of them on my car. I earned a First Place soon after."
The better the Corvette looked to him, however, the more he felt it demanded more power. Before long he enlisted the experts at Cartek Performance Engineering in Garwood, New Jersey, who installed the company's signature LS7X cam and a set of its LS7X heads. "They were hand-ported and polished by my buddies Paulie Salerno, Jimmy McQuade, and Phil Melzack at Brooklyn Vettes," he says.
Then it was time for the Vette to make the journey to American Racing Headers in Long Island, where it got a set of 1-7/8-inch long-tube headers and an X-style crossover with integrated high-flow catalytic converters (mated to an existing Corsa Sport 3-inch after-cat exhaust). Afterwards, it was back to Cartek for custom tuning and dyno testing, which confirmed the Z was putting out 550-plus horsepower at the rear wheels.

But (to end the question at once)
Calvin rather prematurely (and, I think, amusingly) proclaims victory before the reader even sees the evidence that he will present. Wishing something to be true does not make it true.
the kind of jurisdiction which belonged to the Roman Bishop one narrative will make manifest. Donatus of Casa Nigra had accused Cecilianus the Bishop of Carthage. Cecilianus was condemned without a hearing: for, having ascertained that the bishops had entered into a conspiracy against him, he refused to appear. The case was brought before the Emperor Constantine. who, wishing the matter to be ended by an ecclesiastical decision; gave the cognisance of it to Melciades, the Roman Bishop, appointing as his colleagues some bishops from Italy, France, and Spain. If it formed part of the ordinary jurisdiction of the Roman See to hear appeals in ecclesiastical causes, why did he allow others to be conjoined with him at the Emperor's discretion?
Why is cooperation with other bishops ruled out by virtue of having a supremacy? It is not. In fact, this is exactly what the facts of the matter show:
In 313 the Donatists came to Constantine with a request to nominate bishops from Gaul as judges in the controversy of the African episcopate regarding the consecration in Carthage of the two bishops, Cæcilian and Majorinus. Constantine wrote about this to Miltiades, and also to Marcus, requesting the pope with three bishops from Gaul to give a hearing in Rome, to Cæcilian and his opponent, and to decide the case. On 2 October, 313, there assembled in the Lateran Palace, under the presidency of Miltiades, a synod of eighteen bishops from Gaul and Italy, which, after thoroughly considering the Donatist controversy for three days, decided in favor of Cæcilian, whose election and consecration as Bishop of Carthage was declared to be legitimate.nay, why does he undertake to decide more from the command of the Emperor than his own office? But let us hear what afterwards happened (see August. Ep. 162, et alibi). Cecilianus prevails. Donatus of Casa Nigra is thrown in his calumnious action and appeals. Constantine devolves the decision of the appeal on the Bishop of Arles, who sits as judge, to give sentence after the Roman Pontiff. If the Roman See has supreme power not subject to appeal, why does Melciades allow himself to be so greatly insulted as to have the Bishop of Arles preferred to him? And who is the Emperor that does this? Constantine, who they boast not only made it his constant study, but employed all the resources of the empire to enlarge the dignity of that see. We see, therefore, how far in every way the Roman Pontiff was from that supreme dominion, which he asserts to have been given him by Christ over all churches, and which he falsely alleges that he possessed in all ages, with the consent of the whole world.
(Catholic Encyclopedia, "Pope St. Miltiades")
Who is to say that Constantine was not possibly overreaching his bounds? Caesaropapism was a frequent tendency of the Byzantine Emperors. Again, there is more than one way to view anything. Calvin sees some of the actions of Constantine and concludes that they suggest a lack of supremacy of the bishop of Rome. But they could just as easily suggest that the emperor is not properly informed as to the proper government of the Church. Yet the actual historical evidence indicates that the emperor was aware of the preeminence of the pope, even in this council, for he wrote to the pope:
. . . your reverence will decide how the aforesaid case may be most carefully examined and justly determined . . .Note that the decision was finally made by the pope, not the collection of bishops. Professor Jones casually notes about this council: "to preside over them he appointed Miltiades, bishop of Rome" (p. 94). And he observes:
(Arnold Hugh Martin Jones, Constantine and the Conversion of Europe, University of Toronto Press, p. 94)
The court . . . consisted not only of the four bishops of Rome, Cologne, Autun and Arles, whom Constantine had nominated, but of fifteen others from various Italian sees. The Pope had insisted that the proposed imperial commission of enquiry be transformed into a church council.Technically, since this was not an ecumenical council, other local councils dealing with the same matter are not unusual, let alone unthinkable. If the pope had ratified the decisions of an ecumenical council, there would be no appeal. So Calvin's argument is not nearly sufficient to bring down papal supremacy, as he thinks it is.
(Ibid., p. 95)
Though the famous Emperor Constantine wrongly seems to have regarded the council of Rome as a body of imperial commissioners, he still accepted its conclusions and scolded the Donatists for spurning it (see Jones, p. 96). For some reason (perhaps again exhibiting an inadequate understanding of Catholic ecclesiology) he allowed their appeal to the Council of Arles. And the Donatists were appealing to the secular ruler rather than to the Church. In any event, the council of Arles agreed (unanimously) all down the line with the Roman council, and in no sense superseded or judged it. The Donatists were again condemned.
Most telling of all, however, and a fatal blow to Calvin's use of this incident for his "anti-Roman" polemic, is the fact that Constantine also did not accept the verdict of Arles as (legally) conclusive, and agreed to hear yet another appeal of the Donatists, himself:
Constantine once again gave in to the Donatist demands and agreed to hear their case personally. Dismissing the bishops from Arles, he ordered both Caecilian and his accusers to his court, where they attended his pleasure for the better part of a year.In other words, Constantine went beyond, not only papal supremacy, but even conciliarism, such as is believed by the Orthodox: straight to a notion of a caesaropapist State-Church, as seen in Lutheranism, where princes replaced bishops. Thus it proves too much to appeal to his example. Calvin's argument collapses, once we accept these additional relevant facts (which he conveniently omits from consideration). If we follow what Constantine did, then it would be an argument for no Church government whatever (if legitimate church councils cannot even decide matters of heresy with finality). It would defeat Calvin's own ecclesiology as well as (supposedly) the Catholic position. Constantine was outside of his proper jurisdiction. But such is the danger of too much political power, ultimately unchecked by anyone else.
(Constantine and the Bishops, Harold Allen Drake, Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000, p. 220)
I know how many epistles there are, how many rescripts and edicts in which there is nothing which the pontiffs do not ascribe and confidently arrogate to themselves. But all men of the least intellect and learning know, that the greater part of them are in themselves so absurd, that it is easy at the first sight to detect the forge from which they have come. Does any man of sense and soberness think that Anacletus is the author of that famous interpretation which is given in Gratian, under the name of Anacletus—viz. that Cephas is head? (Dist. 22, cap. Sacrosancta.) Numerous follies of the same kind which Gratian has heaped together without judgment, the Romanists of the present day employ against us in defence of their see. The smoke, by which, in the former days of ignorance, they imposed upon the ignorant, they would still vend in the present light. I am unwilling to take much trouble in refuting things which, by their extreme absurdity, plainly refute themselves.
Catholics and Protestants and secular scholars alike all now agree that the notorious "false decretals" were forgeries (see Catholic Encyclopedia: "False Decretals"). The Catholic case for the papacy rests on much, much more than this, and indeed, Catholics realized the falsity of texts before Calvin and Luther were ever born:
The Middle Ages were deceived by this huge forgery, but during the Renaissance men of learning and the canonists generally began to recognize the fraud. Two cardinals, John of Torquemada (1468) and Nicholas of Cusa (1464), declared the earlier documents to be forgeries, especially those purporting to be by Clement and Anacletus. Then suspicion began to grow. Erasmus (died 1536) and canonists who had joined the Reformation, such as Charles du Moulin (died 1568), or Catholic canonists like Antoine le Conte (died 1586), and after them the Centuriators of Magdeburg, in 1559, put the question squarely before the learned world. . . . In 1628 the Protestant Blondel published his decisive study, "Pseudo-Isidorus et Turrianus vapulantes". Since then the apocryphal nature of the decretals of Isidore has been an established historical fact. The last of the false decretals that had escaped the keen criticism of Blondel were pointed out by two Catholic priests, the brothers Ballerini, in the eighteenth century.I admit the existence of genuine epistles by ancient Pontiffs, in which they pronounce magnificent eulogiums on the extent of their see. Such are some of the epistles of Leo.
(Catholic Encyclopedia: "False Decretals")
Good. At least Calvin is aware of this, and acknowledges it.
For as he possessed learning and eloquence, so he was excessively desirous of glory and dominion; but the true question is, whether or not, when he thus extolled himself, the churches gave credit to his testimony?
Most did; some did not, as we would expect, because the presence of a truth or a fact does not automatically cause all men to accept it.
It appears that many were offended with his ambition, and also resisted his cupidity. He in one place appoints the Bishop of Thessalonica his vicar throughout Greece and other neighbouring regions (Leo, Ep. 85), and elsewhere gives the same office to the Bishop of Arles or some other throughout France (Ep. 83). In like manner, he appointed Hormisdas, Bishop of Hispala, his vicar throughout Spain, but he uniformly makes this reservation, that in giving such commissions, the ancient privileges of the Metropolitans were to remain safe and entire. These appointments, therefore, were made on the condition, that no bishop should be impeded in his ordinary jurisdiction, no Metropolitan in taking cognisance of appeals, no provincial council in constituting churches. But what else was this than to decline all jurisdiction, and to interpose for the purpose of settling discord only, in so far as the law and nature of ecclesiastical communion admit?
Apples and oranges . . . the ordinary jurisdiction of bishops in their own domain does not annihilate the universal jurisdiction of the pope. There is also a sense of "delegated authority." Hence, Leo the Great wrote to Anastasius, Bishop of Thessalonica:
If with true reasoning you perceived all that has been committed to you, brother, by the blessed apostle Peter's authority, and what has also been entrusted to you by our favour, and would weigh it fairly, we should be able greatly to rejoice at your zealous discharge of the responsibility imposed on you.Thus it is yet another instance of the typically Protestant and Calvinist "either/or" mentality. Calvin sees local jurisdiction of bishops and illogically assumes that it is some sort of disproof of universal papal jurisdiction. It is not, either logically or historically. But apparently Calvin thinks that if he repeats a falsehood enough times, it will become true.
Seeing that, as my predecessors acted towards yours, so too I, following their example, have delegated my authority to you, beloved: so that you, imitating our gentleness, might assist us in the care which we owe primarily to all the churches by Divine institution, and might to a certain extent make up for our personal presence in visiting those provinces which are far off from us: for it would be easy for you by regular and well-timed inspection to tell what and in what cases you could either, by your own influence, settle or reserve for our judgment. For as it was free for you to suspend the more important matters and the harder issues while you awaited our opinion, there was no reason nor necessity for you to go out of your way to decide what was beyond your powers. . . .
Therefore according to the canons of the holy Fathers, which are framed by the spirit of God and hollowed by the whole world's reverence, we decree that the metropolitan bishops of each province over which your care, brother, extends by our delegacy, shall keep untouched the rights of their position which have been handed down to them from olden times: but on condition that they do not depart from the existing regulations by any carelessness or arrogance. . . .
Concerning councils of bishops we give no other instructions than those laid down for the Church's health by the holy Fathers: to wit that two meetings should be held a year, in which judgment should be passed upon all the complaints which are wont to arise between the various ranks of the Church. But if perchance among the rulers themselves a cause arise (which God forbid) concerning one of the greater sins, such as cannot be decided by a provincial trial, the metropolitan shall take care to inform you, brother, concerning the nature of the whole matter, and if, after both parties have come before you, the thing be not set at rest even by your judgment, whatever it be, let it be transferred to our jurisdiction.
(Letter XIV)

Our automotive hobby (and livelihood in some cases) is under more threat than ever before. With America's political landscape more and more resembling the fracture and conflict immediately before the Civil War, it has never been more important for auto enthusiasts to exercise their constitutional right to participate in their government. Thanks to the folks at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), we can share the below information to both educate, and show how becoming involved isn't hard, and is definitely necessary.
This fall we again face an election crossroads in which many voters are seeking radical political change. This article is about how actions being taken by federal and state lawmakers impact you, the enthusiast. The need for the enthusiast community to stay informed and become involved is greater than ever. From emissions to auto equipment standards, the government is making decisions about your current and future car.
This topic is not limited to Washington D.C. While the federal government issues national rules dictating vehicle safety and emissions equipment, most other issues are handled at the state and local levels. From titling and registration to inspection and maintenance, your car is subject to decisions made by state and local officials too.
The future of our hobby depends on you. The ballot box is one venue for making your views known. Another is to work collectively with your fellow enthusiasts by joining the SEMA Action Network (SAN). SAN is a partnership between enthusiasts, car clubs, and members of the automotive aftermarket in the U.S. and Canada who have joined forces in support of legislative solutions for the auto hobby. It's free to join, and SAN keeps you informed about pending legislation and regulations-both good and bad-that will impact your state or the entire country. It also provides you with action alerts, speaking points, and lawmaker contact information if you want to support or oppose a bill. Join now at www.semasan.com
In recent years, state and federal officials have attempted to implement emissions reduction programs targeting older vehicles. Most programs allow "smokestack" industries to avoid reducing their own emissions by buying pollution credits generated through destroying older vehicles. These programs accelerate the normal retirement of older vehicles, which are purchased, then typically crushed into scrap metal. Hobbyists suffer from the destruction of older cars, trucks, and parts sources, something anyone working on a restoration/modification project can attest.
Scrappage programs focus strictly on vehicle age or economy rather than actual emissions produced. This approach is based on the erroneous assumption that all old cars are dirty. However, the true culprits are gross polluters-vehicles of any model year that are poorly maintained. Scrappage programs ignore better options, like vehicle maintenance, repair, and upgrade programs that maximize the emissions systems of existing vehicles. In the past year, scrappage initiatives have been defeated in California, North Carolina, and Washington.
Enthusiasts played a vital role in altering federal scrappage legislation in 2009 when an amendment was worked into the "Cash for Clunkers" program to spare vehicles 25-years and older from the scrap heap and expand parts recycling opportunities. Cash for Clunkers operated through voluntary consumer participation, allowing car owners to receive a voucher to help buy a new auto in exchange for scrapping a less fuel-efficient vehicle. Enthusiasts eased the program's negative effects by convincing lawmakers to include a requirement that the trade-in be a 1984 or newer model. This provision helped safeguard older vehicles, which are irreplaceable to hobbyists as a source of parts.

How it happens: Your front wheel passes the rear wheel of the rider in front of you, shrinking the amount of space and time you have to respond to whatever he does—and increasing the odds of bumping into him. "A guy at the front moves over 4 inches, and at the back it's 4 feet," says Tim Johnson, a pro who races for Cyclocrossworld.com. On Stage 9 of the Tour de France in 2011 , Alberto Contador overlapped wheels with Katusha's Vladimir Karpets. When Karpets inadvertently bumped him, Contador crashed and injured his knee—a mishap that may have contributed to his subpar finish.
Avoid it: Watch the pack so that you know when riders up front are slowing. Overlaps often happen on corners, when riders scrub speed; anticipate by coasting a bit into the corner. Leave enough room so that if the rider in front of you stands—which pushes his bike back underneath him about 6 inches—he won't overlap your front wheel.
Too late?: Feather the rear brake. Coast a pedal stroke or two. Don't swerve; the rider behind you is depending on your line. A bump won't necessarily knock you over. Practice absorbing contact in a park on your mountain bike, using flat pedals. Ride next to a friend and have him lightly bump you on your hip, says Roger Young, a multitime Olympian who teaches track racing at the Home Depot Center Velodrome in Los Angeles. Focus on holding your line with your hips, not your handlebar. If you try to correct course using the bar, you'll veer off in the direction of the bump. But correct at the hips and the bike will follow.
Keeping Your Head Down
How it happens: During Stage 1 of the Tour, Astana's Iglinsky was riding at the edge of the pack on the shoulder. In a moment of inattention, he clipped a spectator, causing a domino-style crash that cost Contador and several other contenders more than a minute. "Sometimes we get too confident in the group," says Young. Riders also are prone to this when tired or distracted, leaving them vulnerable to the sudden appearance of pedestrians, parked cars, dogs, even garbage cans.
Avoid it: Stay alert, always, even on familiar routes. Stop for caffeine if you need it. Fatigue can compromise pedaling, which profoundly affects your stability. Make sure your bike fits properly: You'll be less likely to ride with a slumped posture.
Too late?: Brake smoothly and stay in a straight line, especially on a group ride. Set your weight back a bit; it'll help keep the bike upright and straight. If there's an obstacle ahead, try to lift your front wheel over it. If it's something like a garbage can, try to hit it with your hip first; it's closest to your center of gravity.

It all Begins with Children
Dr. Flores worked with friend and teacher Cathy Liss and the local sustainable food organization Slow Food® to establish the garden in 2009. "It was fantastic and so much fun. The people at Slow Food helped coordinate and build the raised beds and provided information about what to plant. Some parents of the kids at the school work as contractors and landscapers, so they got involved with building the garden as well. It was like an old fashioned barn raising, between the volunteers, the kids and the parents, so it's a school garden but to a certain extent it is also a community garden," says Dr. Flores.
The garden was created over the course of three weekends. The group even constructed a shed and the children put up scarecrows, complete with sombreros and palm frond heads. Sunflowers, pumpkins and watermelons are just some of the crops that have been planted. "Seeing the kids learn basic gardening skills and open their eyes to how food is grown and processed is very satisfying to me as a doctor," says Dr. Flores. "Not only do they increase their appreciation for fresh produce and respect for the agricultural process, they also gain self-esteem in raising a healthy food from seed to harvest with their own hands."
Plans are to sustain the garden and put in more beds. "They just put in a new small container for the kindergarten class and the compost bin is a big hit with the kids as well!" Dr. Flores believes the garden teaches kids lifelong skills that that will help them prevent diabetes, heart disease and stroke down the line. www.slowfooddesertcities.org/agua.html

Another Cup of Tea
What's it like to go from a college student in Austin, Texas, to an English teacher in Amasya, Turkey? Marianne Shea takes us inside her new life in this bustling, old-world city.
When Marianne Shea '11 finishes her yearlong Fulbright Teaching Assistantship in Amasya, Turkey, she'll know how to brew a superb pot of tea. Black, with a hint of jasmine. Not too strong. And served in dainty, tulip-shaped cups.
It's a common drink and a culturally significant one. To refuse it when offered is rude. To invite guests over and not serve it is equally rude.
These unspoken rules are just the beginning of the cultural maze Shea is weaving her way through as a young American female in a conservative Middle Eastern society. She arrived in Amasya — a city of 100,000 nestled between Anatolia and the country's Black Sea region — in September 2011. Soon after, she began teaching English to first-year natural science students at Amasya Üniversitesi.
Shea, an English Writing and Rhetoric graduate with an interest in Middle Eastern cultures inspired in part by contemporary authors Orhan Pamuk and Azar Nefisi, applied for the Fulbright to Turkey to explore her love of literature and language. Little did she realize she'd also be delving into issues of social inequality, gender expectations and cultural close-mindedness.
Here, in her own words, she describes what it's like to live each day 7,000 miles from all that's familiar. —As told to Stacia Hernstrom
Head of the Class
My first week of teaching is over. It was nerve-wracking. But with a little help from Peter Piper and Mother Goose, I made it through.
I teach two classes of 26 students, who range in age from 19 to their early 30s, each in a small yellow room. I have a white board and a computer that works. Sometimes.
I started out reviewing stuff I thought the class would already know, like simple introductions. But that turned out to not be true. A few of my students didn't even know how to say, "Hello, my name is..." And making mistakes is unacceptable in Turkish society, so the students are not okay with learning by error.
The textbook was no help. No one has a copy because it is prohibitively expensive. Aside from the price, it's too advanced. Instead, I ended each class with a tongue-twister like "Peter Piper" or a nursery rhyme like "Three Blind Mice." And I gave the students helpful translations — how to say phrases like "I don't understand" and "Please repeat."
I immediately hit it off with the class, even though we couldn't understand each other very well. I relied a lot on the patience I honed tutoring international students and working as a TA during my undergrad days at St. Edward's. Working with ESL students is hard. It was hard then, and it's hard now. But I really like it.
And I like my students here in Amasya. They like me. That's something we can always fall back on. Well, that … and "One, two, buckle my shoe."
Culture Shock: The "Root" Cause
Turkey is difficult to handle culturally because there are so many things that are similar to life in the United States. It's the subtle differences that get you because you don't see them coming.
Like the celery.
Amasya has three farmers' markets every week — on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. We get a shockingly wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and they are cheap. We get a lot of root vegetables, lots of leafy greens and tons of citrus fruits. Even in winter, we get fresh stuff. It's incredible.
We get cheese that melts; we get milk, cream and yogurt. We get white beans that are great-northern-ish, kidneys, chickpeas, lentils and a bean that is like a pinto but not quite. There are also black-eyed peas on occasion. It took me a while to locate oregano, but I finally tracked some down. Dried mint and red pepper flakes are everywhere because both are popular in Turkish cooking.
Amasya also has special foods. Yogurt soup with chickpeas. A tomato-and-egg dish called menemen. Lentil soup. Cucumber and tomato salad. Pastries with poppy seed paste. And bread. Lots and lots of bread.
Then there's the celery. Farmers grow it so that it has a large root and very measly stalks. It also tastes really salty. (Of course, they think it's crazy that Americans cook primarily with the stalks.)
It's funny that such a bland-tasting, bland-colored vegetable is the source of such cultural difference. But it's true. Celery? Is a fitting metaphor for my Turkish experience.
Littler Women
I am sitting at a bus stop in the middle of Anatolia somewhere. I'm on my way to Amasya to begin my year of teaching. And I see this old Turkish guy driving a mule-drawn cart with bells. It's loaded down with flour.
That is the moment it hit me — this is the country I would be living in for the next 10 months.
But the horse-drawn carts I got over pretty fast. It's living in a society with such different values that is most difficult.
If I get on a bus, I can't sit down next to a man. If I am with a man in a restaurant, the waiters assume that he will speak for me. And there are places that women, expat or Turkish, just don't go — like the tea houses, where men play cards, smoke and talk with friends. Women are just not allowed.
Even in a place like Amasya with 100,000 people, there are very few public spaces for women.
About 75 percent of my students are women. Their families expect them to get college degrees, but many say their ideal career is "housewife" — and that their hobbies include "window washing." Culturally, they are conditioned to care about finding a boyfriend who will become a husband who can support them and their future children.
They don't plan on having their own careers and most don't plan on ever leaving Turkey. If they do work? It's always with the understanding that their careers are second-best to their husband's.
It's a harsh reality that doesn't sit well with me. But, here, it's the truth.
Great Expectations
I knew that completing a Fulbright scholarship in Turkey would not be like doing it in a Western country. I knew that. I had traveled to Italy, India and Israel before coming to Turkey. And I am interested in Middle Eastern cultures, particularly non-Arabic Middle Eastern cultures.
But I must say — I didn't expect the level of difficulty that I've encountered.
I came into this program thinking that I would be working with really earnest students who were going to find a love for English and use it to see the world in a different way. That is not the case.
Generally, they don't care.
I have not found a way to make them care. And at this point, after five months of talking with teachers in almost identical situations, I don't know if there is a way to reach many of them.
But let me end that pity party with this.
There are a few — a few — really good students who make it completely worth it. They are interested in English. They are interested in bettering themselves. And they work hard at both. I teach 55 students, and I have about 10 who are really dedicated.
They keep me motivated. I talk to them about my own university experiences. I praise them in front of other teachers. I tell them about the world outside Turkey. I encourage them to follow their ambitions.
If there is anything I can do for them, I do it. Those 10 prop me up, day after day. I want to do the same for them.
Talk to Me
Why did I choose Turkey for my Fulbright? On the practical side, my writing major fit. Plus, they didn't have a stringent language requirement. (Perfect for me. I didn't know Turkish when I applied.)
But precious few people speak English in Amasya. I've had to learn enough to get by on a daily basis. And quickly.
At one point, I had three different tutors who would all cancel about every third class. Between the three of them, I managed a class a week. It became too ridiculous when they found out about each other. They got jealous, and I felt like a soap opera heroine.
So I decided to go it alone. I have lots of people around willing to answer questions. I have a few Turkish books. But mostly? It's fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants language acquisition.
What's funny to me is that Turks have so many ways of asking how you are. Nasılsın? (How are you?) Nasıl gidiyor? (How's it going?) Ne haber? (What's new?) Ne yapıyorsun? (What are you up to?)
Often, they will run through two or three of those at the start of a conversation. It translates like this: How are you? [Pause.] Hey, how are you!? [Pause.] How's life treating you? [Real conversation begins.]
There's also the expression Öyle mi? (Really?) It's a favorite of mine. And İyi günler — good day — is both a greeting and a goodbye. Then there are the two phrases I use most: bilmiyorum and anlamadim. I don't know and I don't understand.
It's true. I don't know. I don't understand. But every day? I'm learning.

Why "Make Them Learn English" Is the Key to Immigration Reform
Among the provisions in the immigration-reform proposal released by a bipartisan group of senators yesterday was a requirement that in order to get on that path to citizenship, undocumented immigrants would have to "learn English and civics." They don't detail exactly how it would happen, but presumably there'd be a test of English proficiency immigrants would have to pass, and perhaps some money appropriated for English classes. There are two things to know about this idea. First, in practical terms it's completely unnecessary. And second, in political terms it's an excellent idea. In fact, it could be the key to passing immigration reform.
The reason it's unnecessary is that every wave of immigrants follows basically the same pattern when it comes to English. People who immigrate as adults tend not to learn much beyond the most basic words and phrases, and continue to speak their native language at home. Their children grow up bilingual, speaking one language at home and another at school and eventually at work. The next generation grows up with only a little bit of the language of the old country, which they pick up from their grandparents, but they spend almost all their time speaking English. And the generation after that often knows nothing of their great-grandparents' language beyond a few colorful expressions.
That's how it has worked for one group of immigrants after another, and as Dylan Matthews reminds us, that's how it's working for the current group of immigrants. There is some variation among people who come from different places, but the basic picture is clear: you don't need to "make them learn English," because they're going to learn it anyway, or at least their children are. That's probably how it worked in your family, and it's certainly how it worked in mine. My great-grandparents, who came to America as adults, knew very little English; my grandparents, who came as children, were bilingual; my parents can follow a conversation in Yiddish but not speak it very well; and my siblings and I just know a few little Yiddish snippets. (When I was a kid my grandmother had an annoying habit of telling long, apparently hilarious stories in which just the punch line was in Yiddish, so I never knew what the hell all the older people were laughing about.)
So why is the "make them learn English" provision so politically important? Because it's the key that unlocks wide public support for immigration reform. As a group, Americans have contradictory feelings about immigration. We can't divide the country into "pro-immigrant" and "anti-immigrant" groups, even if you might be able to make such a division among politicians or talk-show hosts. Apart from a small population of hard-core nativists, most Americans acknowledge that we're all descended from immigrants of one kind or another, whether your ancestors walked across the Bering Strait land bridge, came over on a slave ship, or drove down from Toronto. They also appreciate that immigration gives our country vitality, and that immigrants are exactly the kind of hard-working, ambitious strivers that drive our economy and culture forward. But at the same time, many feel threatened when they see the character of their towns and cities change, and nothing embodies that change more than language. When people walk into a store and hear a language being spoken that they don't understand, they suddenly feel like foreigners in their own neighborhood, alienated and insecure. I'm not putting a value judgment on that feeling, but it's undeniable.
So imagine an individual citizen/voter who has those two contradictory feelings. He sincerely wants his country to welcome immigrants, and he thinks that cultural diversity is basically a good thing, but he got a little freaked out last week when he went down to the drug store and felt like he just got transported to Mexico City. He doesn't like feeling alienated, but he also doesn't like that tiny voice inside him that says "Send them back where they came from!" He knows that voice isn't right, but when he sees signs in other languages or hears other languages spoken, that voice gets a little stronger.
What the "make them learn English" provision says to him is: Don't worry, it's going to be OK. We're going to make sure that this wave of immigrants is woven into the American tapestry just like the prior waves of Irish and Italian and Chinese immigrants. They won't take America over. They'll become American.
The truth is, that'll happen whether or not we make undocumented immigrants take an English test before they can become citizens. But there's no reason not to do it. If some have to take an ESL class in order to pass, that's fine—accelerating their learning curve a little will be good for them, and the cost probably won't be too high. The real benefit, though, will be to reassure the majority of Americans whose feelings about immigration are complicated. And once you get enough of them on board, it becomes possible for risk-averse politicians to do the right thing.

Another reason this is good is that it might make it easier for some immigrants to learn English. I live in southern California, where Latino immigrants are sometimes desperate to learn English and have trouble finding classes. Haters think they don't care about learning English, but a friend of mine teaches ESL and can say with authority that they care a lot. They know it's a key to opportunity.

A great new book/ebook available worldwide, "What Foreigners Need To Know About America From A To Z: How to understand crazy American culture, people, government, business, language and more," helps foreigners benefit from a better understanding, including our language. Endorsed by ambassadors, educators, and editors, it even has chapters on English grammar and speech that identify the key problems common to foreigners (and Americans!) and how they can polish their communication skills. Why is English such a monster to learn? Here's an excerpt from the book: "As you may know, English grammar rules are full of generalities and the generalities are full of exceptions. Even the exceptions have exceptions. This is why English is one of the most difficult languages to master." The book (and e-book) is filled with tips anyone can use to polish their speech and understand the key basics of English. Probably the number one problem foreigners have is slowing down when speaking English, followed by pronouncing consonants.
As the book points out, foreigners may think they know English but in many cases they have difficulty communicating to Western ears because of the common problems most have. For example, if Spanish speakers learned to pronounce the TH sound in English instead of like the DA sound, it would significantly reduce their accent. However, most struggle in their efforts and need guidance. Perhaps concerned citizens and books like this can extend a helping hand.
Here's a closing quote from the book's Intro: "With all of our cultural differences though, you'll be surprised to learn how much our countries—and we as human beings—have in common on this little third rock from the sun. After all, the song played at our Disneyland parks around the world is 'It's A Small World After All.' Peace." www.AmericaAtoZ.com

Obviously the writer doesn't know that there is already a requirement to show the ability to speak, read and write basic English and know from civics (as we say in Brooklyn) before one can become a U.S. citizen, it's part of the final interview/test before you can take the oath/affirmation of loyalty to become a citizen..
As an immigrant myself, who speaks a couple of Western European langiages, it is extremely frustrating to live in a building where the super can't speak or understand English, try telling him that there is a leak in your apartment! After all, if I learned English, why can't he?
The article shows that (too) many Americans don't know how the current system works (or rather, not works).
As for the language problem taking care of itself because every immigrant will be able to learn English: I wonder how many languages the writer knows. And how 'easy' it was for him to learn a foreign language. It's no accident that the joke is: if you speak two languages, you're bilingual, if you speak three, you're trilingual. If you speak only one language, you must be an Aermican.
I'm not anti-immigrant (how could I be) , but I wish Americans would learn a little more about the current rules. And immigrants would quickly learn at least basic English.

Adults do not pick up a second language casually, it's a major learning experience. I taught at a school that recruited Mexican teachers to teach in the public schools of Oakland; they were given 2 years to master English or to lose their right to stay in the country and to continue teaching. After 7 years and perhaps 30 teachers, only one was able to pass the writing part of the test. Most of my parents after years of residency had very little acquisition.

There is a BIG difference between: "They're going to learn anyway," and "They're never going to learn, but their kids will be bilingual and translate for them their entire lives."
There is a HUGE difference between learning the language, and depending on your children to navigate your adult encounters through social, legal, work, medical, police, court, and business situations!
The cost of immigrants not learning English is borne completely by American citizens. By the children of the immigrants, who spend a lifetime translating and interpreting adult matters instead of getting to be kids. (The translating and interpreting comes with all of the emotional fears and burdens of playing a vital role in serious matters that could dictate your family's livelihood). By the cost of paying professional translators/interpreters in courtrooms, hospitals, police stations, and welfare offices.
Have you ever gone grocery shopping, and had to wait in line because an immigrant could not communicate with the cashier? Everyone has to stand around and wait for the employees of the store to track down an employee who speaks the immigrants' language. I used to jump in and help whenever and wherever I could. But I got tired of helping people who were choosing to spend hours watching TV in their native language instead of learning English. Who were spending hours with people who spoke their language, instead of making an effort to make friends and communicate with people who spoke English. So I stopped. Instead of working for free for these immigrants, I stand in line with everyone else and just wait. Wasting my time and energy because this person can't complete a simple grocery transaction without specialized assistance.
I was reading business contracts, court documents, and writing letters on behalf of adults when I was in the 5th grade. The pressure was that the immigrants in my parents church could not afford attorneys to do this for them, were not aware enough to know that there are free legal aid services, and, of course, could not handle their problems themselves because they couldn't understand squat on the page. It was excruciating, that pressure. As a child, to be responsible for rescuing terrified, scared, panicking adults. And it's not as if I had a choice.
Allowing immigrants to come here and not speak English, and then raise children, is like allowing lazy people to come here and giving them little American slaves. To do for them what productive adults should be able to do for themselves. Especially free, proud, American adults.

Hello everyone,
I have started eating in a whole-foods plant-based way two months ago after reading books by other authors (McDougall and Esselstyn) and are now trying out Dr. Barnard's recipes.
My ideal BMI weight is 83 kg / 183 pounds according to an online calculator, and currently I weigh 92 kilos / 203 pounds, I'm 1.89m tall.
During six days of the week I also exercise for 1 hour in the morning, and burn 800 calories with it.
By applying Dr. Barnard's rule of 10 I should eat at least 183 x 10 = 1830 calories.
But by deducting the 800 calories I burn with my exercise only about 1000 calories result.
After reading Dr. Barnard's book 'Breaking the food seduction' I understood that I was not eating enough calories, an old habit brought on by several previous (and useless) diets.
I increased my breakfast by 50% in calories (from 100 to 150 grams of Swiss style oats with a sliced apple and ricemilk).
Two things happened: I was not hungry anymore later in the evening and immediately I started to lose weight. That first week I lost 1kg / 2.2 pounds.
I actually lost more weight during that first week of eating a bigger breakfast, but by the end of the week I gained weight slightly.
Well, one week is of course not enough to conclude anything. But I'm now wondering what my ideal calorie count should be.
Is that my rule of 10 minimum 1830 + exercise calories 800 = 2630? Or should I leave the exercise out of the equation?
I know that I should eat until satisfied. But after years of losing and gaining weight I'm afraid I don't know what's right anymore.
For another thing, I love to eat and can easily eat enormous amounts of food, even if they are plant-healthy.
One last question, is my assumption right that by eating too few calories I didn't lose weight, did my body go on 'starvation-alert'?
Thank you for any feedback!Charles
If you want to end up with about 1500 calories for the day, net, then yes, you'd want 2300 calories (for example) as your gross calories before exercise (assuming 800 calories burned).
Hi DebR, thank you for the reply.
But I wonder what would be the best specific minimum calories I should eat. Because I already have experienced longer periods in which I ate the right foods, did lots of exercise but didn't lose a lot of weight.
So should I go for the 2630 calories which will bring me the minimum amount needed, or even more than that?

Theoretically, that's correct. But it's all very generalized, and as we know, everyone's different.
At the risk of being too simple, just eat all the fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains you want! Keep it low in fat, and watch the weight drop naturally.
But if counting calories is something you want to do, then yes, about 2600 is the target range.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
Hi DebR and Susan,
Thank you again for your kind feedback.
The last few days I have been eating serious amounts of carbs (and from all 4 groups) and indeed my weight is dropping again. It seems again that I was not eating enough.
I have drawn my weight loss in a chart. I was expecting a straight line downwards, more or less.
But it now seems to be a sinus-line that goes down. So the confusing part is when I gain weight (when the sinus goes up again), it's frustrating to see this on my scale in the morning.
But now I'm now confident with the big picutre here: in general my weight is going down.
In the meantime my cholesterol has dropped from 232 (6 mmol) to 193 (5 mmol)! It's just a few points away from Esselstyn's 150 mg/dl... I'm so happy!
I have been trying with the books from Dr. McDougall, Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. Ornish, but each time I fell back to old habits.
What really works for me is Dr. Barnard's explanation of the craving psychology. I wanted to know 'Why?'. That combined with the explanations in 'The Pleasure Trap' gives a great backbone for keeping me on track.
I'm wondering how everybody else's weight drops? In a more or less straight line, or more like me, or another way?
When we conduct clinical trials, we suggest people look at the trend, not the day to day or even week to week. We want to see an overall drop in weight over the weeks and months. As long as the trend is down, we don't get too concerned with the occasional bumps up in weight. However, if we see the trend going up, with occasional drops, then we will reassess what is and is not working with food choices.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Susan, that is good to know!

Stamford Bridge
Barclays Premier League
(Attendance: 41,527)
*The extracts on this page are taken from various newspapers and media outlets. They do not necessarily reflect the views of Aston Villa.
Daily Express: Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert says he has been backed to the hilt by owner Randy Lerner even though he feared he left his US-based boss sickened by the manner of last year's thrashing at Chelsea. The Villains return to Stamford Bridge for the first time since they were humiliated 8-0 last December. But Lambert has paid tribute to Lerner along with chief executive Paul Faulkner, insisting that day has been blanked from his mind.
Daily Star: Paul Lambert says the 8-0 Christmas stuffing at Chelsea turned his Aston Villa kids into men. The Scot heads back to Stamford Bridge tonight, eight months after his darkest hour in charge. He insists he never dwelled on it but admitted it took a phone call to put a smile back on his face. American owner Randy Lerner was the man on the other end of the line - and he told Lambert he was right behind him. And buoyed this season by the 3-1 opening-day win at Arsenal, Villa's kids go back to Chelsea determined to show that they have come of age.
Independent: Measuring maturity is difficult, but on Wednesday night Aston Villa have a chance. Last December they were humiliated 8-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the worst defeat of the season. They did not look at all cut out for Premier League football, nor that they would be involved in it for much longer. But they played brilliantly and bravely in the spring and they stayed up. And like a pivotal scene in a coming-of-age story, this evening Paul Lambert's side will return to the scene of their great belittling, hoping for a different result. Aston Villa go to Chelsea buoyed by a remarkable start to the season; a perfectly executed counter-attacking 3-1 win at Arsenal on Saturday. It was a performance of confidence, character and conviction, one that looked as different as is possible from their collapse last Christmas. Villa looked like a different team. But in fact seven of those who started the 8-0 defeat played on Saturday. Brad Guzan, Matthew Lowton, Nathan Baker, Ashley Westwood, Andy Weimann and Christian Benteke all began both games while Ciaran Clark was brought on in the first half last weekend. The team has changed; it has grown up.
Teamtalk: Paul Lambert has revealed Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner's unstinting support never wavered even after the 8-0 battering by Chelsea last term. American owner Lerner always stuck with his manager during a testing first year at the helm, when a transitional Villa side looked to be heading for relegation from the Premier League. Villa's capitulation at Stamford Bridge was arguably the lowest point of a difficult season and was followed by a 4-0 home battering by Tottenham and a worrying 3-0 defeat by Wigan at Villa Park. However, Lerner and the Villa supporters stuck by Lambert and the Scot rewarded them by steering them to safety and towards a bright future.
Daily Mail: Aston Villa suffered the worst defeat in the club's history back in December, an 8-0 thumping at Chelsea. Worse followed for Paul Lambert during his inaugural season; home defeats by Tottenham, Wigan and Southampton. Slowly but surely, Villa turned their season around and, outside of the top four, only Liverpool managed to beat them in the final four months of the season. A 3-1 victory at The Emirates over Arsenal on the opening day suggests the momentum has been maintained. So how did they turn it around? Villa owner Randy Lerner has seen his club suffer on other occasions at Stamford Bridge. In March 2010, Martin O'Neill's side were thumped 7-1. After Villa lost by eight goals, the American picked up the phone to speak with his manager. "The support I had from Randy was great," said Lambert.
Daily Mirror: Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert reckons he left owner Randy Lerner feeling physically sick after last year's 8-0 thrashing at Chelsea. The Scot's young guns return to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night for the first time since their humiliation last December. And Lambert has hailed the support of Lerner and chief executive Paul Faulkner, insisting he never thinks back to that day. The ex-Norwich chief speaks to US-based Lerner after every game - and revealed the owner appeared upbeat despite that horror loss.
Birmingham Mail: Aston Villa will not get carried away with their rampant start to the season, says Paul Lambert, but the Villa boss can't help but feel his side have not received the full credit they deserve for Saturday's stunning win. The 3-1 triumph over Arsenal has been a hot topic this week, yet most of the debate has been over the Gunners' shortcomings. Villa's bizarrely-branded 'bullying' tactics have been heavily scrutinised and questions have also been asked of referee Anthony Taylor. "When the team who aren't expected to win do win, they maybe don't get the credit they deserve," said Lambert. "I thought we were brilliant. On the day I thought we thoroughly deserved to win the game. "I understand how people have an inquest of what happened at Arsenal. I just don't think our team got the credit they deserved. It was a brilliant performance." Lambert is not getting too far ahead of himself, though, as he aims to mastermind another surprise win in London when his side take on Chelsea tonight. "Saturday has gone now and our only thoughts are on Chelsea," he said.
Clubcall: Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert says his side's 8-0 mauling at Chelsea last season means very little on the eve of the fixture this term. Lambert's men, who were in a relegation scrap for much of the 2012-13 campaign, were humiliated at Stamford Bridge during the Christmas fixtures last season when they conceded four goals late on to go down 8-0. However, after bringing in a raft of new players over the summer Lambert insists the result counts for little ahead of his side's trip to Chelsea on Wednesday.
Birmingham Mail: Stiliyan Petrov has left his job as Villa Under-21 coach to focus fully on his recovery from acute leukaemia. The retired former club captain is taking time away from his position after admitting that the day-to-day workload had come as 'too much too soon'. Petrov, who has been in remission for 12 months, will re-assess his role at the club in the future. He said: "I love my new role with the club, I love the involvement and I want to continue to make a valid contribution. "In order to do this to the best of my ability, however, I need to take some time away as I have found the day-to-day demands of the job to be just a little too much too soon."
