Aishwarya Rai Baby Daddy Abhishek Bachchan Shares Sports Love on Twitter
With the Aishwarya Rai baby news seeming to have quieted slightly, Twitter is still buzzing with tweets from Beti B's father and grandfather. Her dad, Abhishek Bachchan, has been sharing his passion for sports on the microblogging site recently.
Among his sports-related tweets was a congratulations message to an Indian women's team. He tweeted out the note:
"AND…… A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the Indian women's kabaddi team on beating Iran and becoming the WORLD KABADDI CHAMPIONS!!"
Kabaddi is a very interesting sport involving two teams with players trying to "raid" the opposing team's side and not get out. Maybe his daughter will participate in the sport in the future?
It had also been reported a while ago after baby Beti B was born to Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek, that she would be a fan of the Chelsea soccer team. That would mean she takes after her father, who tweeted news about the team on Monday. Junior B said on Twitter:
"Chelsea sack another manager!!! Well, it's not like we didn't see it coming. But they really need to get someone who …
Will be given to opportunity to build and maintain a team. The club is bigger than its players. Nonetheless #KTBFFH"
His sports tweets also extended to the United States where Abhishek must have been watching the NBA game via TV. He tweeted:
"Great win by the @Lakers over Miami yesterday. #showtime"
It's unknown if Abhishek is a fan of the Lakers, but sounds like he loves his sports. It's quite possible that with Beti B's dad so avid about the various sports around the world, his daughter may participate in them and enjoy them as she grows up. Then again, she may also go the route of Aishwarya Rai and take her turn at the beauty pageants. Or she could be multi-faceted and do all of the above!

Everything You Need In A Man
Ladies I'm a man that really know the needs of a woman and is looking for a lady that doesn't mind a man that treats them with respect and have respect for themselves. I'm 42 yrs old and don't want to waste any time with someone that's about games. I'm a man that likes sports, but don't mind some times skipping a game or 2 to chill with my woman and watch a movie or do something that she might want to do. My point is, that I don't mind giving in to my womans wants as long as she does the same for me. I would love to meet a lady that wants a man to be a man....(to be a strong head, but fair in the decision making and including his woman). Im a man that can be a strong head but can show that I'm human with human emotions and isn't to proud to show my sensitive side if needed and would like to meet a woman that's not afraid or turned off by that. Im not looking to jump right in bed with anyone in the first or second date either....i'm looking for that someone that i can have a close friendship with first before the direction of the relationship is confused with the act of sex which can contaminate the opportunity for the two of us to bond. I mean sex is a dime a dozen, everywhere around us, i just want more substance in a relationship, deeper connection! Now don't get me wrong ladies.....I like sex as much as the next man, but feel that sex can get in the way of true feelings sometimes. Ladies everyone that have lived has a past, all I ask is that we leave the past in the past, let's not let our past mistakes interfer with our present pursuit to seek true happiness. I love a woman with some fire as long as there's some balance and control......i mean don't allow that fiery personality to burn down everything around you. My first wife was black, my second was white, so I've been on both sides of the track. My point is that I hv no preference on races....I love women! So let's get together and have fun and see where things go. I'm not looking to be anyone's sugar daddy, so if that's your goal please keep looking. I'm sure everyone on this site is an adult so please ladies let's not waste each others time with the BS! Let's enjoy a few drinks and a candle light dinner or two.

Pritchard hired by Pacers, but still available
In a savvy move to bolster their basketball operations staff, the Pacers have reached a deal with former Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard to be their director of player personnel, sources familiar with the hire confirmed to CBSSports.com.
Pritchard, fired hours before the 2010 draft, will report to general manager David Morway, sources said, under a unique at-will arrangement that both sides can end at any time. Pritchard will be paid about $200,000 annually under the deal.
Pritchard will begin evaluating the roster and preparing for potential trades and the pursuit of free agents in advance of the eventual end of the lockout. With team president Larry Bird undecided about his long-term future, Pritchard's role could expand. But he also would be available to be considered for more permanent and higher-profile GM jobs as they become available.
One team thought to be a sensible landing spot for Pritchard was the Knicks, who elevated Glen Grunwald to the interim general manager position after team president Donnie Walsh stepped down last month. The arrangement comes with the understanding that Grunwald's contract will be extended for the 2011-12 season -- whenever that may be. Members of the coaching staff and some key members of the front office, such as vice president of basketball operations Jamie Mathews, director of pro scouting John Gabriel, director of pro player personnel Mark Warkentien, and regional scout Mark Hughes, also are expected to be retained for next season.
Coach Mike D'Antoni is entering the final year of his contract, and no indications have been given as to whether Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan intends to offer him an extension.
Grunwald, 53, is a respected, behind-the-scenes executive who received a strong recommendation from Walsh. If the Knicks ultimately look outside the organization to bolster the front office, among those they are expected to consider are former Hornets GM Jeff Bower and Pritchard.
Pritchard, who was briefly a teammate of Bird's with the Celtics in the early '90s, goes home to the Pacers -- up the road from his Bloomington, Ind., birthplace -- at an exciting time for the organization. Indiana acquired guard George Hill from the Spurs on draft night, and the Pacers have a talented, young roster built around Danny Granger, Darren Collison and Roy Hibbert with only $37 million in committed salary for next season.
It was never clear why Pritchard, the driving force behind the Blazers' current run of success, was fired in the first place. His replacement, former Thunder executive Rich Cho, also has since been fired and landed on his feet with the Bobcats.

Bulls in mix for free-agent duo
NEW YORK -- The Bulls have been talking about trading Kirk Hinrich since the February trade deadline, for obvious reasons. Shedding his $9 million salary for next season would seriously enhance Chicago's already strong hand in the free-agent chase that begins July 1.
That plan came to fruition Thursday when Chicago agreed to send Hinrich and the 17th pick in the draft to the Wizards, which means they're now riding shotgun with the Knicks as the two teams with the most cap space for the Summer of LeBron.
By ridding the '10-'11 payroll of Hinrich's salary and the $1.3 million they would've had to pay the draft pick, the Bulls are now hovering around the $30 million mark in cap space -- second only to the Knicks' approximately $34 million. The Nets ($27 million) and Heat ($26 million) are in the back seat in terms of sheer cap room.
Those numbers could change between Thursday night and July 8, when teams can begin consummating trades and officially signing free agents. The Heat, for example, have been very active in recent days in their efforts to unload Michael Beasley in a cap-clearing move. But that scenario is complicated, one rival GM said, because of Beasley's status as a former No. 2 pick. They can't just send him to a team with cap space and take no players back, as the Bulls did with Hinrich. "They have to get something for him," the GM said.
The Nets, owners of the No. 3 pick (for now), also have been involved in various conversations about moving Devin Harris -- with the latest buzz centered around the Pacers in a swap of the third and 10th picks that would send Danny Granger to New Jersey. The Pacers have been actively discussing the 10th pick with numerous teams, but president Larry Bird and GM David Morway have long been opposed to dealing Granger. Asked if the Indiana-New Jersey scenario had legs, one person directly involved in the discussions said, "Nope."

LeBron James is on Twitter
Time to chase away the crickets from that Lawrence Frank post. Can you hear 'em?
Jessica Camerato does a fine job reporting on the Celtics for WEEI.com. Today, she broke a story and didn't even realize it.
Yes, LeBron James is on Twitter. Allegedly. According to J-Cam's reporting, the Twitter folks say it's really him.
Here's the link to her story on NBA players Tweeting. Here's the link to LBJ's apparent Twitter feed.
Funny thing is, there are 426 followers, but no posts yet. The world awaits breathlessly. My guess is, LeBron is waiting for someone to pay him to Tweet. That's what I'd do, if someone would pay me to Tweet. (I'm working on it.)
As it usually goes on the interwebs, one click leads to another, which leads to another, and by the time I was finished digesting J-Cam's Twitter story, I had learned that Paul Pierce, Baron Davis, Danny Granger, and Chris Bosh are on Twitter, too. Pierce used the social networking site to advise fans to show up at the TD Banknorth Garden at a specified time to get free tickets in his suite.
"first 5 people who meet me at the garden in the players parking lot entrance at 445 with my jersey on get free tickets password is truth," the Truth wrote. This was no joke. Five fans scored the tix and watched the Celtics beat Oklahoma City from Pierce's personal suite.
I also learned that not only is Bosh on Twitter, but he's on Facebook, too. He has 44,405 friends and counting, all of whom apparently were at his 25th birthday bash, photos of which are posted here. Ah, to be young, rich, and going from one max contract to the next. There's also a photo of the Eastern Conference All-Stars posing with Muhammad Ali in the locker room. Bosh scooped every major and minor news organization in the world with that pic.
Interesting times. I guess the question I'll pose is this: Which is bigger right now? LeBron or Twitter?

Mike Brown listened to me
I like Mike Brown. Contrary to what some of you may think, I like the Cavs. If the Lakers are No. 1 when you're handicapping title contenders, Cleveland is 1(a) and Boston is 1(b). Even if they don't make a trade by next Thursday, the Cavs have an excellent chance of winning Cleveland's first major pro sports championship since the Browns in 1964.
Some of you took it the wrong way when I criticized the Cavs -- and their owner, Dan Gilbert -- for constantly whining about officiating and the fact that Mo Williams was passed over twice for an All-Star spot. Politicking is one of the jobs of a coach. After the Lakers ended Cleveland's 23-game home winning streak Sunday, I wrote that LeBron and Gilbert should zip it when it comes to these topics and let their coach do the dirty work for them.
So I am pleased that Brown took my advice. After LeBron was called for a questionable foul on the Pacers' Danny Granger with two-tenths of a second left Tuesday night, Brown took direct aim at the official in question, Joey Crawford. Replays showed LeBron got his hand on the ball, but fouled Granger with his body. Granger made 1 of 2 from the foul line to seal a 96-95 victory, the Cavs' second straight loss. A foul you'd normally see called that late in the game, against one of the league's premier superstars? Nope. Which is why Brown did his job, ripped Crawford (though not by name), and decided to take one for the team (and his superstar) in the form of what undoubtedly will be a hefty fine.
"That last call on LeBron was the worst call I've ever been a part of," Brown said after the game. "I cannot imagine another worse call than that by that official. It was an awful call and for him to take away a basketball game from a team with (.2) seconds on the clock is irresponsible. That is an irresponsible call."
We can debate whether it was a foul or not, or whether Crawrford should've blown the whistle. But clearly, the most significant thing that comes out of this is that Brown and his superiors -- Gilbert and G.M. Danny Ferry -- have decided that the gloves are off when it comes to how LeBron is officiated. This is a good thing, because it's the coach's job to crtiticize the officials and the league, not the players' job or the owner's job. (Dan, there can only be one Mark Cuban.)
After the Lakers beat the Cavs Sunday, I asked Lamar Odom how much of an edge coach Phil Jackson gives L.A. by going to bat for his players and incessantly working the officials.
"It makes us want to work harder for him," Odom said. "When a coach has your back, you'll always have his."
Some of you Cavs fans out there disagreed with what I wrote and ripped me six ways till All-Star Sunday about it. So if the Cavs rally around Brown's bolder approach to criticizing the officials, and if the Cavs get more calls against the Lakers than they otherwise would have, I don't expect any thank you notes. I'm good. But I'll be back to say, "You're welcome."

Emergence of uncommon emm types of Streptococcus pyogenes among adult patients in southern Taiwan
ABSTRACT Streptococcus pyogenes isolated from adult patients during a 12-year period in southern Taiwan were analyzed to estimate the distribution of emm types and their correlation with disease manifestations and patient age.
Three hundred thirty-four invasive and noninvasive isolates collected from patients older than 20 years between 1997 and 2008 at National Cheng Kung University Hospital were included for emm typing. A correlation between emm type, disease manifestations, and patient ages was analyzed.
The nine most prevalent types were emm11, emm12, emm4, emm1, Sp9458/VT8, emm81, emm106, emm13, and emm75. Formerly rare emm types, including emm11, emm81, and emm102, emerged dramatically after 2004 in southern Taiwan. Type emm11 was significantly associated with both superficial infections and cellulitis. In addition, types emm13, emm81, and emm106 were more prevalent in patients older than 50 years and significantly associated with specific invasive disease manifestation.
These results suggest new emm types (emm11, emm81, and emm102) of S pyogenes were introduced into the adult population in southern Taiwan after 2004. The rarely reported emm types, including emm13, emm81, and emm106, caused invasive diseases more often in adult patients.

Article: Emergence of Streptococcus pyogenes emm102 Causing Toxic Shock Syndrome in Southern Taiwan during 2005-2012.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is an uncommon but life-threatening disease caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. To understand the clinical and molecular characteristics of STSS, we analyzed clinical data and explored the emm types, superantigen genes, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of causative S. pyogenes isolates obtained between 2005 and 2012. In total, 53 patients with STSS were included in this study. The median age of the patients was 57 years (range: 9-83 years), and 81.1% were male. The most prevalent underlying disease was diabetes mellitus (45.3%). Skin and soft-tissue infection accounted for 86.8% of STSS. The overall mortality rate was 32.1%. Underlying diseases had no statistical impact on mortality. A total of 19 different emm types were identified. The most prevalent emm type was emm102 (18.9%), followed by emm11 (17%), emm1 (11.3%), emm87 (9.4%), and emm89 (7.5%). There was no statistically significant association between emm type and a fatal outcome. Among the superantigen genes, speB was the most frequently detected one (92.5%), followed by smeZ (90.6%), speG (81.1%), speC (39.6%), and speF (39.6%). The majority of emm102 strains were found to have speB, speC, speG, and smeZ. The presence of speG was negatively associated with a fatal outcome (P = 0.045). Our surveillance revealed the emergence of uncommon emm types, particularly emm102, causing STSS in southern Taiwan. Characterization of clinical, epidemiological, and molecular characteristics of STSS will improve our understanding of this life-threatening disease.PLoS ONE 12/2013; 8(12):e81700.

Article: Epidemiology and Molecular Characterization of Macrolide-Resistant Streptococcus pyogenes in Taiwan[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Our multicenter nationwide surveillance data indicated that erythromycin (ERY)-resistance among Group A Streptococcus (GAS) in Taiwan declined from 53.1% in 1998-2000 to 14.6% in 2002-2004 and 10.7% in 2006-2010 (p <0.01). The present study aimed to assess the epidemiology of GAS in Taiwan and identify factors associated with ERY-resistance. All 127 ERY-resistant (ERY-R) and 128 randomly selected ERY-susceptible (ERY-S) isolates from 1998-2010 were emm typed. ERY-R isolates were also characterized by ERY-resistance phenotype and mechanisms, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Multilocus sequence typing was performed on selected ERY-R isolates. The predominant emm types in ERY-R isolates were emm22 (33, 26.0%), emm12 (24, 18.9%), emm4 (21, 16.5%), and emm106 (15, 11.8%). In ERY-S isolates, emm12 (27, 21.9%), emm1 (18, 14.1%), emm106 (16, 12.5%), and emm11 (9, 7.1%) predominated. The most common ERY-resistance phenotype was M (70.9%) with all but one carrying mef(A), followed by cMLSB (26.8%) carrying erm(B) or erm(TR). ERY-R isolates of the emm12-ST36 lineage with the cMLSB phenotype was mostly present before 2004 while emm22-ST46 with the M phenotype predominated in later years. Recovery from respiratory (throat) specimens was an independent factor associated with ERY-resistance. The emm1 and emm11 isolates were significantly associated with ERY-S GAS while emm22 was detected only in ERY-R GAS. In addition, emm106 isolates were prevalent in abscess/pus isolates whereas emm12 isolates were strongly associated with respiratory (throat) origin. In addition to identifying factors associated with ERY-resistance in GAS, our study provides helpful information on the changing GAS epidemiology in Taiwan.Journal of clinical microbiology 12/2013; 52(2).

Article: Evaluation of emm gene types, toxin gene profiles and clonal relatedness of group A streptococci.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to evaluate antibiotic susceptibilities, emm gene types, toxin gene profiles and clonal relatedness of group A streptococci (GAS) isolates obtained from patients and carriers. A total of 79 clinical isolates from patients and 60 isolates from carriers were included in the study. Emm typing, toxin gene detection for speA, speB, speC, speG and smeZ genes and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed. Twenty-one distinct emm types were detected; the most common types were emm12, emm89, emm1, emm77, emm4 and emm3. The detection rates of both emm types and the toxin genes didn't differ significantly between patients and carriers. The presence of speA and smeZ was significantly higher in emm1 and speG was significantly lower in emm4 when compared to the other emm types. The rate of clustering obtained with PFGE wasn't significantly different in patients and carriers. As a result, twelve of the 21 emm types detected in this study were covered by the 26-valent vaccine, constituting 77.7% of the emm typeable isolates; however the emm4 type which is one of the most common types in the present study is not among this coverage.Bosnian journal of basic medical sciences / Udruzenje basicnih mediciniskih znanosti = Association of Basic Medical Sciences 08/2013; 13(3):163-9. · 0.41 Impact Factor

Before he died, the Notorious B.I.G. talked about a rap group called The Commission. Just imagine a group consisting of Biggie and Jay-Z. But what some don't know is that Charli Baltimore was supposed to be a member of that group as well. Still, she was able to continue a rap career, which was given a boost when she was picked up by Murder Inc.'s Irv Gotti.

Deal could work well for both teams, a couple of players who could maybe use a change of scenery. Wideman was much better than some of the haters give him credit for. He had a tough regular season t more »

MAC gearing up for new season despite traveling inconvenience
Published 11/28/2009, The Daily Republic
For the Mitchell Aquatic Club, traveling to Huron for practice three times a week due to the closure of the Mitchell Middle School pool is an obvious inconvenience. But for the club's four seniors, MAC coach Chuck Baechler hopes the long trip and reduced practice time isn't also a hindrance. All four senior swimmers are in pursuit of college scholarships, and Baechler is doing whatever he can to make sure the pool closure doesn't get in their way.Word count: 630

Slide Show: Portland Community College Foundation's Gala May 2013
Posted Jun 6, 2013, 9:16am
Thank you for making "An Evening for Opportunity" 2013 a SUCCESS! With the hits of Motown providing the soundtrack to the evening, more than 600 community members gathered at the Portland Marriott Hotel on May 18 to raise money for student scholarships and success initiatives, and to toast Dr. Preston Pulliams as he retires as president from Portland Community College. We are so pleased to announce that thanks to the outstanding generosity of our guests and supporters, the second annual Evening for Opportunity gala benefit was a tremendous success: More than $345,000 was raised on behalf of deserving students seeking to achieve their dreams through the power of a PCC education. Moreover, Dr. Pulliams extends his personal gratitude for the outpouring of well wishes at this special event.

No, seriously (via Climate Depot)
(Guardian) "Blood and sperm. The perfect mix," says a tattooed hippy, as he licks both off his hands, having just had sex with a woman in front of a small audience in a Berlin basement. "Life-giving fluids we are all so afraid of. We're so afraid of ourselves! It's all organic." It's not everyone's idea of popular entertainment, but this scene can be experienced at a safe distance in a new documentary, F*ck for Forest, detailing the activities of the group of the same name (without the asterisk). They enjoy confronting society with sex, nudity and bodily fluids, but what Fuck for Forest (FFF) really want to do is save the world. So this isn't just pervy performance art; it's also fundraising.
Few people would imagine any overlap exists between pornography and environmentalism, but FFF smash the two concepts together right there in their brutally blunt name. It's a concise signifier of what they do and how little they care about what you think of it. The live displays are a sideline; funds are primarily raised via their website, which has images and videos of its core staff members and whatever volunteers they pick up on the street in myriad sexual permutations, from naked people up trees to chaotic orgies. Subscribers pay about :£10 a month, and the proceeds go towards rainforest conservation projects in South America.
It's difficult to know how to categorise such an enterprise. Is it kinky eco-activism? Porn for foliage fetishists? Exhibitionism with the fig-leaf of a good cause? FFF have a better question: What is more obscene, they ask, the depiction of people enjoying their sexuality or the destruction of our natural environment?
I'm kinda torn here: are they doing good, or are they a bunch of nuts? On one hand, they kinda want people to live the same lives as the indigenous peoples in the rain forests and get a bit militant in their methods of nudity and sex (read the rest of the Guardian story). On the other hand, they are actually using the money they raise to protect the rainforests in South and Central America to the tune of around $130,000 a year. And, while they're website doesn't ever seem to mention "climate change", they do live a rather austere lifestyle.
Just to be clear, according to their website (FYI, as you could imagine, it is NOT safe for work), they are much more than simply being eco-friendly. Things like "body normalization", "free love", and "to be sexual is not a crime" are featured.
So, which is worse, these FFFers who tend to actually care about the environment and do it with "pornography" or the Warmists and environmental groups who preach a lot and demand that you comply while they don't?

COEUR d'ALENE - The screech-like vocalization of a barn owl could send a predator leaping out of its pelt.
But the frightening sounds failed to deter a small but determined and curious group of people who gathered Monday night to watch five of the owls released back into the wild.
"We want to release them as close to dark as possible," because they are "extremely nocturnal," said Janie (Fink) Veltkamp, a North Idaho raptor biologist.
They were released on private property near the intersection of Huetter and Mullan roads. It's also near where they were rescued in May, from beneath a tarp covering a stack of straw.
The location provides the owls with great hunting opportunities, Veltkamp said.
The five were pulled one by one from an animal crate and gently eased into a couple of nest boxes Veltkamp brought to the property.
One owl decided to immediately take flight and soared to the roof of a large nearby barn, where it perched.
"True to his name - the barn owl," Veltkamp said. It soon took off north.
Comb-like projections on their feathers allow them to fly silently.
The other owls would wait until dark, she said. They are all fully wild and have no connection to Veltkamp or another biologist, Blake Schioberg, who rescued them from the stack of straw.
Rob Lunceford, who found the owls, was able to help put them in the nest boxes, from which they would emerge when ready.
"You can't believe how soft they were - nothing to them," Lunceford said. "All five of them made it. That was the amazing part."
At Veltkamp's bird sanctuary, the owls were held in a large flight aviary to build up their flight muscles.
"I feel like it was well worth the effort to hold them," Veltkamp said.
The clutch of five owls ranged in age from 10 days old to 2 weeks old when they were rescued on May 12. The eggs were laid in the course of several days.
"They were extremely small," Veltkamp said.
The smallest of them would fit in the palm of someone's hand, she said.
They are now all full grown, standing about 10 to 12 inches tall.
The owls have been big eaters while staying with Veltkamp, each consuming approximately 15 mice per night during the past six weeks. That's at a cost of 75 cents per mouse.
The owls have been eating twice as much as an adult barn owl because they're growing, Veltkamp said.
Through her nonprofit Birds of Prey Northwest, Veltkamp helps injured falcons, eagles, osprey, owls and others. The nonprofit relies on private donations to care for the birds.
Coeur d'Alene is the northernmost range for breeding barn owls, which are cavity-nesting birds.
"They don't tolerate winters well," Veltkamp said.
About a hundred years ago there were more large open barns for nesting and hay fields to hunt in, she said.
"We humans actually supported barn owls," Veltkamp said. "The world has changed drastically for the barn owl."
The owls don't migrate, so they'll stay in the general area, she said.
The owls hunt with their ears.
"They listen for the mouse down below," she said. Their disc-like faces allow them to hear better, channeling sound vibrations back to their ears.
Because they hunt with their ears and get locked into listening and not looking, they are often struck by vehicles while hunting, she said.
Those looking to learn more or to contact Veltkamp can do so at www.birdsofpreynorthwest.org.

I cast MAGIC MISSILE!
Cool, I'm getting DRUNK!
My favorite lines!
8-bit? Really?
Y r u using the 8 bit graphics when they remade Final Fantasy for the psp like 4 years ago?
Funny, but I had worse experiences...
Great flash, but I had worse experiences with Dungeons and Dragons, I liked the video, it was very funny, but there have been more messed up ways to play D&D.
Just the a few weeks ago, I was playing D&D with a couple of friends and one of them needed arrows for his bow. So, he helped a guard catch a thief. The guard told him that his sister owned an archery shop. So he went with him to see his sister, the guard walked up to his sister and screamed, "HONEY, I'M HOME!!!" My friend was like, "This dungeon master must've been on crack or something."
Back to the review, I liked it. It was funny, and it's the truth, because games like D&D can get out of controll. I feel like D&D right now.
lol ^,..,^
"I wanna cast magic missile."
"why cast magic missle, there is nothing to attack."
"I'll attack... THE DARKNESS"

Yield: Makes about 3 cups
- 20 medium kumquats, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 pound fresh cranberries, washed and drained (about 4 cups)
- ¾ cup maple syrup
Combine all the ingredients in the heavy saucepan and bring to a simmer over moderate heat.
When the berries begin to pop, reduce the heat to very low, cover, and continue to cook, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and serve the relish warm with flapjacks, buckwheat cakes, game meats, birds, or sausages.
