I've always wanted to try my hand at making flour tortillas from scratch. It's quite surprising how few ingredients there are and how easy they are to make. It's a little time consuming, but well worth the extra effort. Nice to know you can actually make homemade flour tortillas without having to run off to the store either! Here's a step by step guide for you.
Tortillas are a flatbread, or unleavened bread, meaning there's no yeast. So there's nothing to be afraid of, these are very easy.
I used a combination of wheat and white flour. You can use all white flour if you prefer, just substitute exact amounts. A neighbor of mine ground the wheat flour herself and gave it to me, so this was the perfect opportunity for me to try it out.
There are quite a few recipes out there for flour tortillas. The general consensus is that you will need flour, some water and a fat. Some add salt and either baking soda or powder. I developed mine by looking at probably 15 different recipes and combining all of these ingredients and lowering the fat content considerably. Many recipes include either lard or shortening, but then I read on several that vegetable oil can be substituted without a problem. I also ran across a couple that used considerably less oil and more water. So that's what I did. Instead of moistening the dough with a lot of fat and some water, I used a lot of water and a small portion of fat.
The results are great, perfect for wrapping around some tuna salad for lunch or warming it to have with tacos. Keep in mind though, lowering the fat also lowers the flavor since fat does add flavor to your final product. my oldest son commented last night when we had tacos "these are good but they have no flavor". This coming from someone who is used to eating full-white flour store bought tortillas. So if you prefer, you can up the fat a little and lower the water, totally up to you. For us though, these are a great way to enjoy tacos and sandwiches with a lot less fat and a little more grain.
Oh, one last note. When you get to the part where you roll the dough balls in your hand, follow my tip about running one of your hands under the faucet first. Get your hand wet, shake off the excess water, then roll the ball between your two palms. This adds just enough liquid to keep the dough moist which will result in an easy to roll out dough. Be sure to keep the dough covered so that it doesn't dry out.
Full printable recipe instructions are below.
After forming the dough, divide it into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place on cookie sheet, not touching each other, and cover with a towel.
Remove one dough ball from under the towel and place on the floured counter. Press gently with your hand then use floured rolling pin to roll into a circle.
Tortilla will be very thin.
Repeat this process until cookie sheet has a single layer of tortillas (about three), then place another layer of foil on top and continue the process until all 18 tortillas are rolled out.
Cook, one at a time, for about 30 seconds per side.
After the first 15 seconds you will see bubbles begin to form.
Place cooked tortillas on a foiled lined baking sheet in the same fashion as when you rolled them out.
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 – 1 1/4 cups warm water
- Whisk the two flours, salt and baking powder together in a large shallow bowl. Add canola oil and 1 cup of the water and mix to form a dough. Add enough additional water until the dough comes together. Knead 10-15 times then let the dough rest, covered with a towel for five minutes.
- Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces. Run your hand under a running faucet and shake off the excess water. Wetting your hand will keep the dough moist as you roll. Roll each piece into a ball and place on cookie sheet, not touching each other, and cover with a towel. Allow dough to rest five minutes.
- Line a cookie sheet with foil.
- Keep the dough balls covered with the towel as you work. Sprinkle counter with flour and keep rolling pin floured as well. Remove one dough ball from under the towel and place on the floured counter. Press gently with your hand then use floured rolling pin to roll into a circle.
- Roll dough, flip it, roll it, flip it, and roll again until circle is about 7-8″ in diameter. Tortilla will be very thin. Place tortilla on foil lined cookie sheet.
- Repeat this process until cookie sheet has a single layer of tortillas (about three), then place another layer of foil on top and continue the process until all 18 tortillas are rolled out.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place tortilla in preheated pan and cook, one at a time, for about 30 seconds per side.
- After the first 15 seconds you will see bubbles begin to form.
- Place cooked tortillas on a foiled lined baking sheet in the same fashion as when you rolled them out.
- Use tortillas immediately or allow them to cool completely, then store in a plastic zipper storage bag in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, remove from zipper bag and place in a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Heat one side, then flip and heat the other, just enough to heat through.

Gorgeous! So, several years ago I tried making flour tortillas. They looked good but they were a little crisp (hard?); they weren't soft, like you couldn't have wrapped them around anything. Did you have this issue? Maybe I cooked them to long? I'd love to try again…
Tiffiny – I think part of it is that the dough will dry out quickly. You have to keep the dough covered until you are ready to work with them. And yes, I'm guessing that you might have cooked them too long. They only need about 30 seconds per side ove medium high heat. :)
Okay, I'm sold, especially with the lower fat and whole wheat flour. They look great!
I just "discovered" this post on SU.
I grew up in a Hispanic family and LOVE homemade tortillas. Of course, my grandmother was still making her's the more traditional way by using lard or bacon grease. With some experimenting, I've found that you can lessen the fat, but also, try using a mixture of butter flavored Crisco and some vegetable/canola oil to equal the full amount of the fat. So, using your recipe a Tbsp. of both Crisco and oil. This would help boost the flavor while still cutting out a lot of un-needed fats.
Thank you Katrina!
Whitney – thank you for those tips :) :) I usually have butter flavored crisco on hand so I may just try that. I actually like the idea of the bacon grease too, just a little bit ;)
Great post! Love having a low fat version in my files…
Regarding Tiffiny's question ~ I put my hot tortillas warm in a terry kitchen towel. The heat softens them right up. Learned this tip while cooking corn tortillas, which are crisp when cooked, but soften right up in the kitchen towel or tortilla warmer (http://tinyurl.com/442blpb)
These look great! I wonder if some herbs or seasonings might give the little punch of flavor your son was looking for?
We make our own tortillas too — they freeze wonderfully and are perfect for quick dinners! Thanks for sharing your version.
I have never tried making homemade tortillas before- but this recipe is inspiring me to try! I plan to feature a picture and a link to this on my Sunday (6/5) Links to Love post over at http://www.momof6.com.
I love this! I can't wait to try making my own tortillas. Thanks for the clear, step-by-step instructions. I will be trying this soon!
I am so excited about this recipe. We eat a lot of flour tortillas. Time to make my own. And a healthy recipe to boot. Thank you!
I have never thought to make my own.They look perfect!
Oh and if you previously subscribed to my blog in a rss reader, my blog feed has changed, you might want to re-subscribe if you have not been getting my feeds
OK, I'm ready to try these. They look great and authentic! My Mexican grandma made them often and did use lard. She used lard in her beans too. She also ate butter and drank whole milk, but lived into her 90's:) I hope I have some of those genes.
I used to live in India, where they eat chapattis, which are the same. I have been making them for 10 years since I left. My recipe is the same without the baking powder. You have to have a hot pan to keep them from drying out while you cook them. I roll them out as I cook, while one is in the pan, I'm rolling the next one out. To get them to roll out as a circle, I pinch off the dough, shape into a snake then roll the snake into a snail and pinch the end closed. And like a previous write wrote keep them in a towel or paper towels to keep soft. Enjoy, they are worth the effort.
Chapathis are low fat food.Its verry healdhey food to our body.So, thanks for sharing this post.

Dear Amanda,
I am from India. Your Low Fat Homemade Flour Tortillas are actually the Chapatti/ Roti/Phulka as we call it in India. This what we eat daily with veggies or curry.
Our recipe similar to yours minus the all purpose flour and baking powder. You can also use multi grain flour to make it more nutritious.
The warm water used to knead the flour will make the chapatti's remain softer for longer time.
These look awesome Amanda. But as a few have pointed out, these are what we call chappatis/roti bread in india, the most common bread, naan is actually something we only eat at restaurants. It's this roti that we eat with all Indian preparations!
Does anyone know what the calorie count is and fat count? I mean these beat rice cakes any time. I guess If I made them thin enough. cut the calories!! Has anyone tried Olive Oil that would add flavor Thanks for the recipe!! I wish I had good torts here in Spain!!
I'm sorry I don't have the cal/fat count on these. I hope you try them!
[…] lard, neither of which I have access to, so I broke one of my personal cardinal rules and visited a low-fat recipe page. I happen to be a big fan of things made with a reasonable amount of butter and olive oil. This […]
I made this last night and boy was it easy! The only thing I didn't like was that it made 18 "small" tortillas. I just couldn't get them to roll out any bigger than 5-6″. So I just doubled them up and made bigger ones. I made sandwiches with them by just making them like a "taco" and not trying to "roll" anything up. YUM!!! It is time consuming but if I got ahold of a tortilla press, it may speed things up a bit? Thanks for the recipe!!!
This sounds so good, funny thing is that I bought a press years ago and have yet to use it. No excuses now that I have a real easy recipe. Now if anyone could help me with one thing, how to cook lengua. I have tried cooking in the oven like a roast and I have boiled the lengua, however the meat comes out mushy. I have tried increasing/decreasing cooking times… No luck. I would really like to bbq or smoke a lengua… Any help is greatly appreciated!

It is much easier to make them by hand rather than rolling them out, also much quicker.
I just tried these, and so far they've turned out great! I'm waiting to see if they'll end up hard by tomorrow or if I got it right :)
Any tips on how to roll them into actual circles? Mine always end up odd shaped!
I substituted chickpea flour instead of wheat flour – great wrap!!
Some people us cut-outs for a circle – like a lid.
Oh, I am so glad you posted your experience with chickpea flour. I use whole yellow pea flour a lot and had thought of using it. Since I also use chickpea flour a lot, and actually often combine the two flours…I may just try that out. Did you end up with a soft tortilia? How did you roll it out with a lid? Just roll out as expressed in the recipe and use a lid afterwards to cut it out. Thanks again…
Amanda I didn't notice anywhere a mention of how many calories are in this item. Is it half of what store bought tortillas contain? Can you give me a fairly accurate idea of calorie count.

Trying these tonight!I am in LOVE with my grandma's homemade tortillas! She doesn't use lard or any type of grease, but she does use white flour. Hers aren't high in fat either but I still want to try to make this wheat version. I am also going to use olive oil in the mix!
Thank you,
Hi, I'm going to try this with gluten free flour and olive oil. Thanks for the recipe.
I grew up in New Mexico and my mom made everything from scratch. Friday nights was Mexican — enchiladas, tacos, etc. and we would just salivate when she made homemade tortillas. Making some this weekend with a big crock pot of beans. Will be making cornbread too — so I can mix it up during the week so I don't have the same thing all week for lunch and dinner. Besides, love to awe and inspire my co-workers.
Sounds like a great recipe..can you use 3 cups of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of white flour instead of 2 cups of each?
Thank you for a wonderful recipe- a huge success and a delightful dinner!

ATLANTA - Chronic lower back pain may be linked to a recently defined form of inflammatory arthritis known as axial spondyloarthritis, according to research presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in Atlanta.
Spondyloarthritis is the overall name for a family of inflammatory rheumatic diseases—including ankylosing spondylitis—that can affect the spine and joints, ligaments and tendons. These diseases can cause fatigue and pain or stiffness in the back, neck, hands, knees, and ankles as well as inflammation of the eyes, skin, lungs, and heart valves. While there is no course of prevention at this time, early treatment by a rheumatologist can reduce discomfort and loss of functionality.
Chronic lower back pain is one of the most common pain syndromes with an unknown cause. Studies looking at chronic lower back pain have reported that a small percentage of these patients may have ankylosing spondylitis (a diagnosis that requires the development of changes on an X-ray and is therefore typically diagnosed as many as 10 years after symptoms arise). Because treatment of spondyloarthritis (including ankylosing spondylitis) may be most successful when the condition is diagnosed early, disease criteria for axial spondyloarthritis that allow for a diagnosis in the absence of radiographic changes have recently been published by the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society, allowing for earlier diagnosis and institution of therapy.
Researchers recently set out to determine the prevalence of this rheumatic disease in people being seen by their primary care physicians for chronic lower back pain. Additionally, researchers aimed to assess the value of the clinical tests primary care physicians use to evaluate chronic lower back pain as well as the questionnaires about inflammatory back pain completed by patients when seeking help for this painful condition.
The researchers studied 364 primary care patients of whom 43 percent were male, with an average age of just over 36 years, and who had been experiencing chronic lower back pain symptoms for an average of nine years. Participants were identified through their primary care physician medical records, were asked to complete a questionnaire detailing inflammatory back pain, received a full physical examination by a rheumatologist, and their blood was tested to assess HLAB27—a gene associated with spondyloarthritis—and C-reactive protein - a blood test of inflammation.
X-rays and MRIs were taken of each participant's sacroiliac joints (two joints that help make up the pelvis) and scored by two radiologists for the presence of inflammation and/or structural bone lesions typical axial spondyloarthritis.
The researchers diagnosed 77 participants (21.5 percent) with axial spondyloarthritis using the ASAS criteria; 52 were diagnosed with an MRI, 28 with X-ray and the presence of one other spondyloarthritis symptom, and 12 were diagnosed with a positive HLAB27 and two other spondyloarthritis symptoms. In all, 6.6 percent of the participants were diagnosed with the more stringent diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, which requires the presence of more advanced X-ray changes.
Of the participants seeing their primary care physicians for chronic lower back pain, the prevalence of spondyloarthritis was strikingly high. By using the new ASAS criteria, which aids in early diagnosis and treatment of the disease before structural bone lesions are present, three times as many patients were diagnosed as compared to the currently accepted criteria using conventional X-ray alone. Adding HLAB27 increased the likelihood of diagnosis of spondyloarthritis by 68 percent, and using X-rays increased the likelihood by 75 percent.
"The study confirms that there is a direct link between chronic lower back pain and spondyloarthritis," says Angelique Weel, PhD, MD; a rheumatologist at the Maasstadziekenhuis Rotterdam and an investigator in the study. "Such patients diagnosed by primary care physicians could be helped early in their disease by referral to a rheumatologist."
The American College of Rheumatology is an international professional medical society that represents more than 8,000 rheumatologists and rheumatology health professionals around the world. Its mission is to advance rheumatology. The ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting is the premier meeting in rheumatology.

Editor's Notes: Lonneke van Hoeven will present this research during the ACR Annual Scientific Meeting at the Georgia World Congress Center at 4:30 PM on Wednesday, November 10 in Room A 311. Dr. Weel will be available for media questions and briefing at 1:30 9M on Tuesday, November 9 in the on-site press conference room, B 212.

Body: Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common pain syndromes with unknown cause. Few studies however report that 5-7 % is caused by Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), a disease that until recently could be diagnosed 7-10 years after first presentation of symptoms. Since treatment of AS is most successfully in an early stage of the disease, the ASAS group1 developed new criteria to diagnose axial Spondyloarthritis (aSpA) early. Early treatment requires early recognition and should therfore be done in primary care. Until now however, prevalences of aSpA in primary care patients with CLBP are missing.
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of aSpA in primary care patients with CLPB classified by ASAS criteria. To assess the diagnostic value of clinical tests commonly available to GPs and inflammatory back pain (IBP) questionnaires completed by patients themselves.
Method: In this cross-sectional study primary care patients with CLBP aged 19-45 years were identified from GP records by the International Classification of Primary Care code L03. All patients completed IBP questionnaires, (ASAS, Calin and Berlin) and underwent a complete history and physical examination by rheumatologist. Blood was drawn to assess HLAB27 and CRP. Sacroiliac joints (SIJ) were imaged by conventional radiography and MRI (Siemens Essenza). All images were scored by two experienced MSD radiologist, without any clinical information. Radiographic sacroiliitis was defined by Modified New York criteria and MRI (T1, T2 and fat suppression series) evaluation followed ASAS recommendations.1 Definite aSpA was defined by the ASAS criteria of aSpA.1 Statistics were performed by using chi-square and logistic regression analysis.
Results: 364 patients (43% male, 36.3 yrs(sd 6.8), 9 yrs (sd 7.44) of symptoms) were evaluated. The overall point prevalence of aSpA was 21.5 % (n= 77; ) using the ASAS criteria, n=52 were diagnosed by the MRI criteria with one other SpA feature and n=12 were diagnosed by a positive HLA B 27 and two other SpA features. Based on the modified New York criteria we identified 6.6% (n = 24) of which 75% also fulfilled the ASAS criteria. Figure 1 shows the diagnostic value of characteristics available to GPs and IBP questionnaires. Highest post probability test were achieved for the diagnostic test HLA-B27 and X-SIJ with respectively 68.3% and 75%.
Conclusion: In this cross-sectional study of primary care patients with CLBP the prevalence of aSpA based on the ASAS criteria is strikingly high. Additional 'red flag' symptoms determined by medical history and IBP questionnaires have modest diagnostic value. However, determine HLA-B27 and X-ray of SIJ could help physicians in primary care identifying patients that should have accelerated referral to rheumatologist to start accurate treatment as early as possible.

Cobie Smulders on SHIELD's 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' presenceAdd to Favorites | Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
SHIELD has its own television series, but it's yet to have its own film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It still has a significant part to play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though. The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division played a major role in "The Avengers," and it seems like fans can expect them to be an even bigger part of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier."
The upcoming present-day set Captain America adventure features Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders' Maria Hill as major players. Zap2it spoke with Smulders following Marvel's San Diego Comic-Con panel about the role SHIELD has to play in "The Winter Soldier."
"SHIELD has a very strong presence in this film, and it's very cool to see it like that," she says. "This movie takes place after the Battle of New York, and SHIELD is trying to figure out how to control the public and how to like make sure people are safe but everyone is aware that these aliens exist and what does that mean and do people feel safe? We sort of pick up there, but I can't really say anything. Cap is very heavily involved in SHIELD, and the relationship between him and SHIELD is very strong."
Spoilers for "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD": Smulders also has a fairly big role in the "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" pilot, which was screened at Comic-Con. When asked whether she'll be back again in Season 1, she seemed genuinely uncertain.
"You know, I don't know," she says. "I was asked very kindly by Joss the Wonderful -- that's how I actually refer to him is Joss the Wonderful, he demands that I call him that. He is a wonderful man and his brother Jed [Whedon] and Maurissa [Tancharoen], they were very kind to ask me to come in and do the pilot, and I was really excited because I love Clark Gregg, and I was basically able to be his Vanna White and be like, 'See? He is alive.' I didn't do it like that. I did it a little better than that."
Smulders continues, "It was really exciting to do. Anything Joss wants me to do I do because he's amazing. I don't know how the rest of the series is going to go. They have an amazing cast and they don't need another cast member. They're kind of doing an amazing job and I'm just excited to see how the series unfolds." End spoilers.
Smulders also talked about the "How I Met Your Mother" Comic-Con panel, which had fans camping out overnight for the cast's first -- and likely last -- appearance in San Diego for the show. As Zap2it already reported, the response to the "How I Met Your Mother" panel was overwhelming, and Smulders seemed humbled by it.
"It was pretty amazing, right?" she says. "We like live in this like little bubble and when they were like, 'Fans are camping out!' I was like, 'For us? We're just a sitcom. We just like to have fun and laugh with each other.'"
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is due in theaters on April 4, 2014.

Three times in the second half, Holy Cross (25-7) pulled within one. Each time, the Hawks held off the Crusaders, including a leaning three-pointer by Carroll over a couple of defenders.
Dwayne Jones added a couple of nice plays in the final minutes, once converting a three-point play with a tough shot under the basket for a 51-43 lead. Then Stachitas gave Jones a nifty bounce pass for a thunderous baseline dunk and a 60-53 lead.
The Hawks survived an 11-minute stretch early in the second half without a field goal. Carroll hit a shot to open the second half, then made the Hawks next basket on a three-pointer with 8:47 left.
The drought allowed the Crusaders to chip away, but St. Joseph's did its damage from the line. The Hawks went 22-for-31 from the free throw line and Lee made 13 of 14 attempts.
John Hurley led the Crusaders with 14 points and Kevin Hamilton added 12. Keith Simmons and Greg Kinsey each scored 10.

How to prevent cancer
The Chief Executive Officer of Halamin Herbal Products, a subsidiary of Halamin Chemicals Nigeria Limited, Abuja is Ben Amodu. A pharmacist, who has developed 12 anti-cancer recipes that are undergoing scientific analyses at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Research and Development, Idu, Abuja, Amdu answers the first question. A Jordanian natural healer and physiotherapist, Dr Mohammed Hamdan, answers question two while the Registrar, Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board (LSTMB), Dr Bodunrin Oluwa, takes on question three.
Cancer can be described as the disease caused by an uncontroable division of abnormal cells in a part of the body; a malignant growth or tumour resulting from such a division of cells. Cancer is a uniquely western problem, but now due to different factors including lifestyles and dietary changes. More Nigerians are coming down with cancer. It is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cell divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.
All cancers begin in cells, the body basic unit of life. Not all tumours are cancerous; tumours can be benign or malignant. Benign tumours are not cancerous. They can often be removed and in most cases do not come back. Cells in benign tumour do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumours are cancerous. Cells in these tumours can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another is called METASTASIS. Some cancers do not form tumours e.g leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood.
Signs and symptoms of cancer
Having any of these signs and symptoms does not mean you have cancer - many other things may cause these signs and symptoms.Please see a doctor or a specialist to find out what is going on.
Some of which are unexplainable weight loss. This happens often with cancer of the pancreae, stomach,lung,or oesophagus; fever - this happens to almost all cancer patients, especially if the cancer affects or its treatment affects the immune system; fatigue, pain; skin changes - darker looking skin, yellow skin and eyes, excessive hair growth etc; changes in bowel habit or bladder function; sores that do not heal; white patches inside the mouth or white spots on tongue unsual bleeding or discharge; thickening or lump in the breast or other parts of the body; indigestion or trouble in swallowing and nagging cough or hoarseness of voice.
Causes of cancer/risk factors/
Cancer is a complex group of diseases with many possible causes.
Genetic factors - some type of cancer run in a certain family like some are inherited from parents.
Risk factors - tobacco, such as cigar, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco use has been implicated. Our diet and physical activity, excess body weight, alcohol, sun and U.V. exposure and other carcinogens and even infections are serious factors in the consideration of causes of cancers.
Prevention and treatment of
People with cancer want to do everything they can to combat the disease, manage its symptoms and cope with the side effects of its treatment.
How do we fight cancer
There is no one drug, herb, or treatment that will kill cancer. Cancer has to be treated by building the body's immune system. Listed here are some natural ways to help build the immune system. To prevent and cure cancer, we must keep our body's immune system high. This is done by following eight simple rules that I will briefly cover here. Lots of fresh air, using lots of pure water, eating lots of wholesome natural foods, getting sufficient rest, moderate daily exercises, getting outside in the sun everyday, being temperate in all we eat and do and having faith in God.
Every one of us has cancer cells within us. Cancer has to be treated by building the body's immune system, then the body's white blood cells, etc. will attack and destroy the cancer from within. Cancer cells are weaker than normal cells and will not get out of control if our immune system is high.
Eliminate sugar and junk foods
Eating white sugar will paralyse and hinder your white blood cells from fighting off an infection. Eating 25 teaspoons of sugar will paralyse 92 per cent of your white blood cells for five hours. The average Nigerian eats excessive of sugar daily. For example, a banana split has 24 teaspoons of sugar. A 12 oz coke has eight to 10 teaspoons, a piece of white bread, two teaspoons. It must be remembered that sugar or empty calories and junk foods interfer with the working of the body's immune system.
Eliminate high fat diet
Diets high in refined fats have long been associated with increased cancer risk. Breast cancer is more frequent in women on diets high in both saturated fats (whole milk), and in animal fat. A low fat diet not only prevents breast cancer, but increases the survival of women who already have breast cancer.
Eat raw diet
This is or will be the hardest single thing to follow, but it is very important. Only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and sprouted grains are what you will be eating until your cancer is in remission. Nothing cooked; no cooked beans, bread, potatoes, etc. Sounds tough, but let me tell you this is much easier than taking chemotherapy and having your hair fall out, vomiting, being weak, etc. And, of course, chemotherapy will not build up your immune system. Instead, it will tear it down. Raw food is live food and possesses the highest nutritive value. It is full of vitamins, mineral, enzymes, phytochemicals, etc. Cooked food is dead food, plant any seed and it will grow. Cook the seed and then plant it and it will not grow, because its life principle has been destroyed. Place cancer cells in a cooked media and they will proliferate. Now place the cancer cells in a raw matter and they will disappear! This astounding fact is known to the cancer society, but the public was never informed.

SACC. 2006. A classification of the bird species of South America. Available at: #http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCBaseline.html#.
Taxonomic note
Rhea pennata and R. tarapacensis (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as R. pennata following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993).
Pterocnemia pennata Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993), Pterocnemia pennata , Pterocnemis pennata Stotz et al. (1996), Pterocnemis pennata , Rhea pennata pennata Collar et al. (1994), Rhea pennata pennata Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993)
Distribution and population
Rhea pennata occurs in three subspecies: pennata in south Chile, west-central and south Argentina, with an introduced population in north Tierra del Fuego; tarapacensis in north Chile; and garleppi in south Peru, south-west Bolivia and north-west Argentina. All populations have declined markedly and the northern subspecies are in serious danger of extinction (Folch 1992). The combined population of tarapacensis and garleppi is estimated at several hundred birds, with the healthiest populations in Argentina (densities at two sites of 2-5 birds/km2) (Chebez 1994). In 1983, the Peruvian population was estimated at 18 individuals, with very low numbers in north Chile (principally in Lauca National Park [A. Jaramillo in litt. 1999]) and on the altiplano in Bolivia.
The nominate subspecies inhabits steppe, shrubland, shrub-steppe and mallines (successional wetlands with bog, meadows and ponds) (Bellis et al. 2006), up to 1,500 m, generally breeding in upland areas with bunch-grass. The northern subspecies are found in desertic salt puna, pumice flats, upland bogs and tola (Lepidophyllum) heath in altiplano at 3,000-4,500 m, down to 1,500 m in the south.
Conservation Actions Underway
CITES Appendix I (except nominate race, which is on Appendix II). Conservation Actions Proposed
Develop campaigns to raise awareness and reduce hunting, egg-collecting and the domestication of wild immature birds. Prevent illegal hunting and egg-collecting, while developing alternative sustainable harvesting programmes (Barri et al. 2008b). Harvest "orphan eggs" (eggs sporadically laid outside nests) for use in captive breeding and reintroduction programmes (Barri et al. 2008a). Maintain "mallín" (meadow) habitats in adequate condition as nesting sites (Bellis et al. 2006, Barri et al. 2008b, Barri et al. 2009). Monitor remaining populations of tarapacensis and garleppi.

Othello usually gives me that cozy feeling, believe it or not, the one that comes from spending time among the Great Unanswerable Questions, such as how does evil get a hold of us, and what makes the other-color of a person's skin inspire passion-fury? Those questions tower over us like mountains marking where we cannot go, which makes the world feel like a smaller house with fewer rooms to heat: cozy. Who can say, after all?
But the current production of Othello at the Blackfriars Playhouse doesn't let you shrug your shoulders at the mysteries of life.
"[Othello] can play like a runaway locomotive going downhill that picks up more and more speed before it jumps the tracks and leaves characters decimated and dead and audiences shocked and rocked in its wake," says director Jim Warren, and the locomotion of Rick Blunt's performance as Iago hurtles this production forward faster than the speed of thought. But near the end, right before the killing starts, Shakespeare sends the men offstage and gives the women a chance to talk quietly. And slowly.
What they talk about, of course, is men — it's a man's play, after all, as it was a man's world then and may still be a man's world now, for reasons I don't understand. The women are in extremis because of the men. Desdemona knows her husband thinks she's opening a place in bed for Cassio, and Emilia knows her husband has cast that false impression on Othello's mind. Neither woman knows why; nor do we know, really, for listening to Iago explain why he hates Othello is like gazing at the mountain range of who-can-say. Neither he nor they nor we know what makes darkness so alluring, but we know that it calls. And that people are inclined to answer.
At its best, Othello shows us people answering the call of darkness with the sort of lust that doesn't pause to wonder why, which is what makes it feel like a runaway train. It's also what makes us pose the questions which the men on stage don't seem to consider.
Why does Iago want Othello to believe his wife is screwing someone else? Because Othello passed him over for promotion? Because black Othello has the power to promote white-skinned Iago? Because black Othello has the love of lovely white-skinned Desdemona? Oh, not just the love — it must be more than that; it must be hunger for a darkness that can stand against the whiteness of her skin, dark within the light, an other-lust that makes her want to fill herself with him. What makes us hunger so? What makes a husband want to kill his wife for opening herself to someone else? And why, for God's sake, would a man whose race and rank and self-respect have taught him more about the human spirit than most of us will ever know — why does that man want to think his wife's a whore? Othello gives himself to that idea absolutely, like a man discovering a truth he's always hoped to find.
But in their quiet moment near the end, the women ask a different kind of question. Can you imagine treating your husband the way our husbands treat us, Desdemona asks Emilia. Would you do such a thing for all the world?
For all the world? Well, sure. "Who wouldn't make her husband a cuckold to make him a monarch?" Emilia counters.
But then she moves from hypothetical terrain, which is easy to navigate, into reality: "What is it that they do when they change us for others?" she asks. "Is it sport?… And doth affection breed it?…Is it frailty that thus errs?"
In this quiet moment, Bridget Rue and Stephanie Holladay Earl as Emilia and Desdemona address each other with the sort of tenderness and intimacy that runaway locomotives rarely allow. Even the speech Othello makes while he gazes at his sleeping wife — then smells her, then finally kisses her goodbye, again and again, then kills her — seems to be sucked out of him by momentum that Fernando Lamberty can't control. The only other time that forward motion pauses for a quiet note of tenderness is when Othello names Iago his lieutenant in Cassio's place, and Iago whispers, "I am your own forever."
One of the dangers of tenderness, one of the reasons men might balk at intimacy, is that it lets us ask — it makes us ask — a different kind of question, the kind with perfectly specific answers. Is it sport? I think it is. Does affection breed it? I think it does. And is it frailty? Yes, it's frailty. The truly chilling thing about that quiet moment, about tenderness, about Shakespeare, is that Emilia has the answers to those questions, and the answers don't make any difference.
There's nothing cozy about that.
Running time: two hours and thirty minutes, with one twenty-minute intermission.
Othello, by William Shakespeare. Produced by the Blackfriars Playhouse. Directed by Jim Warren. Featuring Fernando Lamberty, Stephanie Holladay Earl, Rick Blunt, Bridget Rue, Patrick Earl, Emily Joshi-Powell, Patrick Midgley, Colin Ryan, David Millstone, Joey Ibanez, and Russell Daniels.

The Gorge Cup Windsurfing Series will complete its summer-long run this weekend with the biggest race of the season.
Local competitor Bruce Peterson said that, wind permitting, a slalom race is planned for Saturday and a course race is planned for Sunday.
"The forecast for this weekend looks unreal," said Peterson, who currently sits second in the Gorge Cup standings behind Dale Cook. "It sounds like we might have ideal winds both days."
To make things even more exciting, the U.S. Windsurfing National Tour will be rolling through town, which could increase the field to 45 sailors, as opposed to the typical 25-sailor field.
"This will be the biggest race of the year by far," Peterson said. "Lots of people are coming down from Canada and the Bay Area, and it should be competitive."
Cook currently leads the Gorge Cup series with 74.06 points in seven races. Peterson is second at 198.16 and Anil Rajani is third with 227.86 points.

Saudi Araia artificially keeps the dollar afloat by accepting mainly dollars for oil.
What happens when that stops? I suppose the dollar plummets because America simply doesn't make enough goods for export to keep the dollar strong without Saudis.
10 million barrels per day is 3.65 billion of barrels per year at $125 per barrel. That's half a trillion $$$ in export America would have to make up.

Rodrigue-Molyneaux Winery Description
Worth the effort to find, this boutique winery is one of a kind tucked back down a cozy drive. The location couldn't be more attractive. You take a few turns off Arroyo Road and then drive up a narrow dirt path and park at a salmon-colored house. Around back under the Chinese elm tree and vine-covered trellis is the entrace to the intimate tasting room.
The family-run operation specializes in traditional Tuscan winemaking practices, producing complex full-bodied wines. Their four acre vineyard grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Primitivo and Barbera. They take great pride in their red wines, especially their California/Italian blends. The owner is happy to show off the small winery, so just ask. If you bring some food or just want to relax with some of their fine wines, there are a couple of tables out under the trees on an inviting grassy lawn.

DEPUTY Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta could be sworn in as Kenya's fourth president at the Hague. Three voters yesterday filed a petition at the High Court seeking an order to allow the swearing in of the next president outside the country.
Presently Article 141 of the constitution provides that the president elect will be sworn in between 10am and 2pm in public in the capital city.
"If our preferred candidate becomes the president-elect, and due to some peculiar circumstances he or she is not in the capital city, for the swearing in there is likely to be a constitutional crisis," read the court papers filed by Charles Munyui, Kamotho Njenga and Paul Mwangi.
Uhuru and Eldoret North MP William Ruto want to run for president for TNA and URP but are due to stand trial in the Hague starting on April 10 and 11 respectively. The likely second round run-off for the presidential election will be on April 11.
The petition, to be heard on November 2, has been filed against the Attorney General Githu Muigai and Justice minister Eugene Wamalwa so that they are directed to amend the Assumption of the Office of the President Act, 2012.
The three, who filed their case through Ashiruma and Company Advocates, argue that Parliament was not alive to such peculiar circumstances where the president elect could not travel to the capital city when it was passing the legislation.
They argue that Parliament should have provided that the swearing in ceremony can be conducted at any other public place in Kenya or at a Kenyan embassy abroad.
"It shall be disastrous and the country shall be thrown into a constitutional crisis if the president elect is not able to be sworn in or attend the swearing in ceremony at the capital city due to peculiar circumstances beyond his or her control or that of the Assumption of the Office of the President committee".
They want the court to declare the sections as inconsistent with the constitution of Kenya and therefore null and void. Uhuru and Ruto are facing multiple charges of crimes against humanity arising out of the post-election violence of 2007/8.

A few of my friends in Boy Scouts in the mid to late 60s had the Svea 123 so I had to be different. I got an Optimus 8R. Just like this, except
older and MUCH more used looking:
Awesome little stove that works just as well today as it did when I
bought it in 1968(?).
My newest stove is a Brunton Optimus Nova MultiFuel Expedition Stove (NLA):/brunton-optimus-nova-multifuel-expedition-stove:
No longer available (I think) but appears to use the same guts as the other current offerings.
I also have a larger Optimus Hiker, which is similar to my old 8R except a little larger with a pump on the tank. Found it on sale a few years ago for a good price, so picked one up. Haven't used it yet.
Will try to get it into the rotation this year.
This is it:
Oh, and all I ever use in these is pump gasoline. Never had a problem, and my reasoning is that it means I carry a little extra fuel for the bike, if needed.

LONG serving Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association chairman Barnabas Kitlit was at the weekend bundled out by Kimutai Ngetich.
Ngetich, the current Rift Valley Secondary Schools Sports Association boss garnered 22 votes against Kitlit's nine at the hotly contested polls presided over by a team of top ministry of Education officials led by Deputy Director for Quality Assurance and Standards Benson Abwao at Jogoo House.
Ngetich, the principal of Chebaraa Secondary School will be deputised by Coast Secondary Schools Sports Associtaion chairman and Waa Boys High School head Rodgers Mwafungo who received no challenge.
The new-look KSSSA team includes Western's Nobert Wangalwa, Eastern's Mwala Michael and Franklin Chabare, Nairobi's Christopher Muiya and Abdikadir Bashir from Garissa region, formerly known as North Eastern, as members. Yesterday Mwafungo revealed five more members will be co-opted at a meeting scheduled for early next month.

Furniture & Accessories For Teens
I just finished working on a kids' room photo shoot for our June 2011 issue. I have to say, it's a tough go finding age-appropriate furniture and accessories for the preteen/teen age group. You want to incorporate all the lovely classics, but really, do you want to pay for them? And the vintage nod is a good fit, but there is a fine line between a few key pieces and making your kid's room feel like a tag sale.
Well, the good news is that Pottery Barn Teen now ships to Canada — yay! I recently attended a press event and saw first-hand a lot of the products, and they're great. Quite a few pieces could even cross over into basics for the home — desk lamps, for example. As yet, there will not be a stand-alone shop in Canada, but just about all products are available online, and Pottery Barn has been very careful to ensure shipping is reasonable.
Have a look below. I'm ordering a beanbag for my 10 year old this week.
Hi-Light Task Lamp, on sale for $86-$99.
Applause Light Box, $49.
Charcoal Washed Twill Beanbag, $75-$236.
Ruffle Rings Drape, $74-$111.
Locker Bins, on sale for $29-$94.

"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

A spacewalk to make an unprecedented in-orbit repair to a space shuttle's heat shield began at 0448 EDT (0848 GMT) on Wednesday. Discovery astronauts Steve Robinson and Soichi Noguchi are now on their third - and hopefully final - spacewalk of the mission.
The repair is scheduled to be performed by Robinson at 0804 EDT (1204 GMT). Two gap fillers, which protect the heat resistant tiles from rattling together during launch, have popped up.
NASA officials fear the protrusions could disrupt the smooth air flow beneath the orbiter as it slices into the Earth's atmosphere. Additional turbulence could mean a rise in the already searing temperatures of re-entry, which reach more than 1350°C.
"The last four days have been spent in anticipation of possibly doing this task," says astronaut Dave Wolf, currently on Earth and chief of the spacewalk branch of the astronaut office. "We feel very comfortable that we have a very doable task from the astronaut's point of view."
Snip and tuck
Towards the end of the spacewalk, Robinson will ride on the International Space Station's robotic arm to the underside of the orbiter. Using his gloved fingers, he will try to pull the gap fillers free. If that does not work, his next option will be to use a pair of forceps to try to drag them free.
A further option is to use a curved hacksaw to cut the ceramic-covered fabric fillers, so that they become flush with the black heat shield tiles. But that could kick up some dust, which could potentially be brought inside the station on Robinson's spacesuit. The suit would be wiped down if dust is suspected because the fibres are a skin irritant in small doses and an inhalant irritant in larger doses.
A final option is to use a pair of scissors to cut the fillers. The downside to the scissors is that they are difficult to use in the bulky spacesuit gloves and will not result in a close cut. The goal is cut each gap filler so that it protrudes less than 0.6 centimetres above the tiles. If for some reason the gap fillers do not come free or are unable to be snipped, NASA would consider another spacewalk.
Robinson will take extreme care not to nick his spacesuit or to hit the shuttles tiles, either with his helmet or the tools.
You can view videos of NASA engineers on the ground testing techniques for pulling out the gap fillers, using the hacksaw one-handed and two-handed.
Stow away
A spacewalk has never been attempted beneath the shuttle, but this crew has trained for such a task. For the last 12 months they have rehearsed making repairs to a damaged heat shield, which is on the underside of the spacecraft.
Early in Wednesday's spacewalk, the spacewalkers will help attach a new spare parts stowage area to the outside of the station. After doing that, the space station's robotic arm will move to a different part of the station to give Robinson better access to the gap fillers. While Robinson is down there, Noguchi will crawl up a truss segment and watch to make sure Robinson does not have any problems.
On Tuesday, NASA declared the Reinforced Carbon-Carbon heat shield panels on the front of the wings and the nosecone safe to land. That only leaves two things without clearance - the gap fillers and a billowing thermal blanket near a window that appears to have been struck by debris on launch. An analysis should come back on the blanket damage on Thursday.

Mitsubishi Introduces the i Minicar
24 January 2006
|The rear-midship layout of the i.
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation today launched its new i minicar at Mitsubishi dealerships throughout Japan. Using a newly developed platform with an original rear-midship layout that mounts the engine forward of the rear axle line, the new i series includes 2WD and 4WD models.
The i platform is also the basis for Mitsubishi's just-introduced Concept-CT series/parallel hybrid. (Earlier post.)
|i Emissions
The i uses a new 3-cylinder, 660cc turbocharged engine with variable valve timing (earlier post) that delivers 47kW (63 hp) of power and 94 Nm of torque, coupled with a four-speed automatic transmission. The car delivers fuel consumption of 5.43 l/100km (43.3 mpg US) in the 2WD model, 5.56 l/100km (42.3 mpg US) in the 4WD version.
Emissions are 50% lower than the Japanese 2005 Low-Emission Vehicle requirements. The i emits 126 grams of CO2/km.
The rear-midship layout (which is also used in the Concept-CT), allows the front wheels to be placed as far forward as possible, and enables a wheelbase of 2,550 mm for the i—substantially longer than in any minicar to date.
Prices range from ¥1.3 million to ¥1.6 million (about US$11,300 to US$14,000); Mitsubishi is targeting sales of 5,000 units per month.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Mitsubishi Introduces the i Minicar:
I'll buy one in the 4 wheel drive version when it gets to the states.
Even better would be one with the wheel motors and a diesel generator. Would likely get 100mpg plus.
...And don't forget the short bursts of power that a few supercaps would provide as well with those wheel motors.
Though in an effort to save space they have removed what little protection was available in a frontal impact. The engine in the back idea is great if you have a van where the cabin is located higher then most cars, or a sportscar that has plenty of nose. But not in a car like the i Minicar.
Do you really prefer to have a hot engine on your lap?
The hot engine would come close to your lap, but at least you could keep your legs :)
That said though, I will admit this car has a reasonable nose. As long as the cage is well designed, it may be alright in a frontal impact. Suppose these cars are looking more into the future where everyone drives similar automobiles in bussy cities where speeds are low.
I find it a little bit too smooth. Looks like a stone or a gem. But as the Mitsubishi CEO said: i-minicar targets aging baby-boomer. And I'm a child of aging babing-boomer. Maybe that's the reason I don't like that much. Anyway, very nice innovation on the MIEV.
Hey guys,
About the nose-crushing thing:
1. In in-house testing the i received the equivalent of a 5-star JNCAP rating (top of its class) for frontal impacts.
2. I know what it looks like, but if you take the skin off the thing there is actually the same amount of distance between driver and front bumper as you will find in other cars in its class.
3. Instead of an engine (which is a big lump of metal), Mitsu plugged in a front "crumple zone" which absorbs impact to increase safety, avoiding the "billiard-ball" syndrome which puts the engine in your lap.
That said, it's still a very small car, and I would be afraid to see how it stacks up against a Mack truck.
I rid in an Mitsubishi i recently.
The center of gravity of this car was low, and riding comfort was very steady.
This car was a movement like the middle-size sports car.
I did not think of this car in three cylinder engine of 660cc.
Ecology was united to sports, and I think that it is a good car, and a good engine
does anyone know if this car or the 3 cylinder engine plan on coming to america? i would certainly buy one of those fuel efficient cars if it were offered in america. imagine having a hybrid version of a 3 cylinder engine.
Most cars you see on USA roads have one person, occasionally 2. A vehicle like this would be ideal for commuting and intracity driving...very efficient use of fuel and space. And in our fun cities where there is never a parking place, small cars like this would double or triple the parking space available. The big question to me is: Why can't a US company do something like this and sell it here? We see great little cars like the i being developed and nothing ever comes to the states. This and the Swatch are miles ahead of the Yaris and Fit which seem to be just smaller vercions of the Corolla and Civic.
there's no manual transmission type? or will there be? where else other than japan has this car gets into the market?
this car really sweet looking. i love it. i feel like selling my current car now and buy this Mitsubishi I
What a great, forward looking vehicle. I would buy one in a heartbeat, if the U.S. consumer gets the opportunity. I would gladly drive it on my 20+ mile highway route every day to send a message that challenges the supersize mentality prevalent in the states. Recently I drove the Honda Fit and was considering purshasing one but after seeing and reading about the "i" I may hold off in hopes they make it across the Pacific; after all a version of the SMART car will be here next year.
Firstly, when i see the model for MITSUBISHI "i", i think that's a bad car because the model that is not reasonable with height is more than Honda Fit's height, but i'm suprised when i read the spec of "i", because it has powerful engine.
The engine is very efficient but very powerful, i see the stability of its car.
I'm suprised because, although the height is high for me, but MITSUBISHI "i" still can run stable. Now MITSUBISHI has a good design and good engine.
We need cars like this in the US. It makes me angry that we don't.
this car was tested in the us by different car magazines, if car is imported , is very possible will be wider by few inches than the japenese counterpart.by the way i already wrote my deposit and if i can get it here , i will imported from japan
how do i become a dealer
My questions are...
Does this vehicle meet with full European Saftey requirements, or is it being imported in limited numbers to avoid having to meet them? Are there any crash tests avaílable for viewing in the internet? How was the mitsubishi performance parts doing? How's its engine and speed? ....
Looking at the pictures available I can not believe it would meet European Front, Rear or Side reqirements.

Kershaw beats Padres, Maybin to have MRI on wrist
Ryan Ludwick was traded on July 31 to Pittsburgh, Brad Hawpe is done for the season following elbow surgery, Chase Headley has been out since Aug. 7 with a fractured little finger on his left hand and now Maybin is at least temporarily sidelined.
Of the Opening Day eight, only shortstop Jason Bartlett has been available throughout the season. Second baseman Orlando Hudson (missed 35 games) and catcher Nick Hundley (missed 63) both made two trips to the disabled list while Will Venable spent 2 ½ weeks in the minors retooling his swing.
Meantime, the Dodgers' 2011 domination of the Padres continued Monday night as Kershaw out-dueled Mat Latos to join Arizona's Ian Kennedy – who beat the Padres Sunday in Phoenix – as the National League's second 17-game winner.
Kershaw pitched his fifth complete game of the season, holding the Padres to one run on six hits as he ran his record at Dodger Stadium to 10-1 this season. He retired 13 of the last 14 Padres he faced.
During their five-game losing streak, the Padres have scored one run in four games while being shut out in the fifth.
Latos, who earlier this season lost two 1-0 games to the Dodgers, allowed four runs on five hits and four walks in six innings – the big blow being a two-run James Loney homer in the second – which followed a walk -- that gave the Dodgers a 3-0 lead. Two walks led to the Dodgers first run.
The home run was only the second hit by the Dodgers over 46 1/3 innings against Latos. Loney has hit both.
"I felt everything was everywhere except my changeup," said Latos, who hadn't allowed more than three runs in any of his previous 13 starts.
Padres Notes
--Fort Wayne right fielder Rymer Liriano, 20, has been named both the Most Valuable Player and the Prospect of the Year in the low Single-A Midwest League. Liriano is hitting .319 with 11 homers, 57 RBI, 62 steals, and 75 runs scored. He has a .380 on-base percentage and .499 slugging percentage.
--OF Chris Denorfia rejoined the Padres Monday after working out several days with Single-A Lake Elsinore. But Denorfia remains on the disabled list with the hamstring he first strained on July 31.

Dude I don't know whose idea it was to have bottomless Maker's mint juleps at Thursday's B&C staff meeting, but the end result is this festive post.
The minty, bourbon soaked idear: a Kentucky Derby tie-in piece — it's this Saturday y'all! — who would be baseball's versions of John "Mr. Ed" Elway? Who in baseball looks a lot like horses?
Surprisingly there were responses. Generally it seemed easier to think of guys who looked like shaved Ewoks or other animals than horses, per se, but this is the best the ten of us and our mint juleps could manage.
- Jeff Brantley (1988-2001, Giants/Reds/Cardinals/Phillies/Rangers)
- A horse
- Charles 'Togie' 'Horseface' Pettinger (1900-1907, Beaneaters/Phillies)
I found Pettinger by Google image searching "baseball horseface" and scrolling through page after page of Sarah Jessica Parker photos.
- Tom Gorzelanny (currently playing for the Pirates AAA affiliate)
- A horse
- Jack Wilson (current Pirate, on the DL)
- Don Mossi (1954-1965, Cleveland/Tigers/White Sox/A's)
- A horse
- Derrick Turnbow (currently on the Rangers AAA team)
Old-timer Bortone suggested Mossi, but qualified it with "Not sure if this is fair to the horse." Tobin pointed out that back in the day Adam Godson had found Thunder Matt's Saloon's comparison of Turnbow to a baboon.
- George Frazier (1978-1987, Cardinals/Yankees/Cleveland/Cubs/Twins)
- A horse
- Jorge Posada (currently on the Yankees)
- Jay Gibbons (currently a free agent, Smitty's favorite Oriole from 2001-2007)
- A horse
- Ezequiel Astacio (Astros, 2005-2006)
This list is almost certainly definitive, but if you think you can do better, by all means, videotape yourself drinking mint juleps and brainstorming and editing photos and post it on youtube.Ă'Â The world will be a better place for it.
(UPDATE: Not sure if this'll get you in the boozing/youtubing mood or no, but our friends at Busted Coverage have matched the great Kentucky Derby prose ever written — the late great Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved — with a photo essay of the usual shocking Derby horseplay.)
This is absolutely hilarious! Good work digging up the photos!

Drawing from Memory VS Drawing from Life
When exactly is a good idea to draw from memory versus drawing from life?
Im really good at drawing from life, even better than i am when drawing from memory. I tend to follow better than drawing out of my head. I want to know what is the best rule of thumb, (if any) like Vilppuu says "theres no rules, just tools" to drawing in a sketchbook from memory and drawing from life.
I have a hard time coming up with things in my sketchbook unless im looking at something. So how do i combine all the things i have learned, looked at, and practised in previous sketchbooks and generate new ideas?

I don't think there's any 'rules' around when to draw from life vs. drawing from memory.
Why should you ever draw from memory? It's a great way to really sharpen your subject knowledge. For example, if you just thoughtlessly draw from a live model but never really study human form, you are cutting your skills short. Drawing from your imagination forces you to really know your subject. You have to understand the gentle curve of the tibia, the way the pectoral muscle glides into the deltoid at the shoulder, the way the hamstring helps define the knee (and a 1000 other details) before you can really master figure drawing.
Drawing from your memory tests your knowledge and forces you to think of these details. Drawing from memory brings up hundreds of problems which only your imagination can solve. You won't be able to solve all these problems right away, but you will learn much by trying.
Copying from life already gives you all the answers--you just use your skill to see them and to put them down on paper. Cameras can do that so much better and faster.
Also consider the fact that sometimes what we see in life isn't always the most artistic way of representing your subject. Maybe the light has changed, or the shadows look odd, or the model moves, or the colors don't match. Being able to draw from memory allows you to fix numerous problems that arise during a live session. I'd encourage you to work from memory as much as you can, but use live models to make sure your work is accurate.
So, how do you start working from your imagination? Take it slow at first. Take a drawing you already have and draw it again from a different angle, or from a different lighting. Look at a live model, but don't draw what you see. Draw the model from a different perspective. Imagine what that model would look like from the floor or ceiling. Use a sitting model, but draw them standing. Use the model as reference, but don't draw it exactly. This will force you to look at a subject you are comfortable with, but in a different way.
Getting new ideas is a little different. Usually when I feel I've run out of new ideas, it's because I'm stuck in a routine. I'm listening to the same music, watching the same TV, talking to the same people, doing the same things everyday. I break out by changing things up--even a little change can lead you in new directions. Shake up your personal attitude a bit, open it up, and see what falls in.
Next, I'll look at what the great artists are doing (this website is a great place to do that). Study other's work. Find a style and try to copy it.
Switching to a different medium sometimes help get the imagination flowing.
Instead of drawing a thing, try drawing a topic, or a situation. Instead of drawing a guy with a gun, draw a holdup--a ruthless thug (give him a name, even) hell bent on getting the money and glory. Breath live into your pictures before you ever put down the first line. Fill it out with your imagination and let the details grow and feed on themselves.
Sometimes the ideas stop because of fear. We're afraid to draw something different or to leap into a new style because we may suck at it. It's easier to shut down our imagination than to try something new. To get past this, what I do anyway, is make my sketchbook my personal space. It's more secret than a diary. Nobody sees what's in there without my permission, and they only see what I want them to see. I've got pages and pages of crap in my sketchbook, but that's okay, nobody ever sees them unless I want them to.
Best of luck.
