'B.C. Government scapegoats wolves for its failure to protect caribou habitat' (PDF)
January 2015- BC's War on Wolves continues
Wolves in British Columbia, Canada have been being shot at by hunters in helicopters.
This is an ill-conceived plan to save endangered caribou in B.C.. The wolves are not responsible for the dwindling caribou numbers; habitat loss and human encroachment are. But wolves are taking the blame and paying the price.
B.C. Wolves Need Your Help
Sign the Save B.C. Wolves petition
The Issue
• Decades of habitat destruction and human encroachment have left B.C.'s woodland caribou in serious decline. But instead of protecting critical habitat, such as lichen-rich high elevation forests, the B.C. government turned a deaf ear to scientific warnings and allowed logging, industrial exploration and other kinds of human encroachment to take place. Now that the caribou are almost gone, they've decided to scapegoat wolves. These highly social and intelligent animals, icons of B.C.'s natural heritage, should not be killed because of long-term government negligence in regards to habitat protection.
• If the wolf kill program is allowed to continue, thousands of wolves will die a cruel and unnecessary death resulting in an ecosystem imbalance and loss of genetic diversity. Don't let that happen. Help us fight for the wolves' right to live.
Killing Wolves is Not the Solution
• There are solutions that do not result in intelligent, highly social animals being slaughtered in inhumane ways. For example, winter-based motorized activity, one of the leading causes of caribou decline in the Selkirk Mountains should be restricted from operating in endangered caribou habitat. Traditionally, deep snow would provide security from wolves, but the tracks made by the vehicles allow wolves easy access to caribou. The B.C. government has known this for decades but has consistently capitulated to industry and recreational lobby groups who want access to this critical habitat. Same story for logging, mining, and oil and gas companies - they continue to be granted access to lands that are critical for the survival of woodland caribou.
• If we are silent nothing will change. The success of our fundraising campaign will allow us to build enough pressure on government, through a concerted, strategic and informed public education campaign that the widespread killing of wolves will become a sad chapter in our history.

Help us make use of this valuable space. Your donation will go to increasing advertising exposure in addition to production and design costs.
• Your support will help fund a full-time wolf campaign team with the means to build local and international public pressure by exposing this kill as unscientific and ineffective through a variety of media, including film, and a host of other public outreach platforms.
• Your support will ensure that wolves currently being killed now do not die in vain and that a long term solution that addresses the fundamental issue of habitat loss becomes the solution for the future of caribou in British Columbia.
• If we are silent nothing will change. The success of this fundraising campaign will allow us to build enough pressure on government, through a concerted, strategic and informed public education campaign that the widespread killing of wolves will become a sad chapter in our history.
• Funding will also go towards logistical support to document the current cull program directly - it is critical that the helicopter-based killing is recorded.

Pacific Wild Press ReleaseJanuary 15, 2015
B.C. Government green-lights controversial wolf hunt in the South Selkirk and South Peace regions. As many as 184 wolves to be shot from helicopters.
Decades of habitat destruction and human encroachment have left BC's mountain caribou on the edge of survival. Instead of protecting critical food and habitat for caribou, such as the lichen rich interior forests, the BC government has now placed the blame on wolves. Over 180 wolves are now being targeted for aerial killing in the next two months. These highly social and intelligent animals, icons of our natural heritage, should not be killed because of government negligence. Killing all the wolves in BC won't bring the caribou back in the absence of habitat protection.
Wolves are highly social and intelligent animals and research shows that predator kill programs increase reproductive rates in wolves and destabilizes pack structure causing more predation of livestock and other non-native prey.
It is the view of Pacific Wild that this announcement is scientifically unsound and that wolves are being used as a scapegoat to divert attention from the fundamental problem of ongoing habitat destruction and displacement caused by human encroachment.
"This is not management, it's a tax-payer funded kill program of one of our most iconic species." said Ian McAllister, Conservation Director for Pacific Wild. "This is not only a horrific day for wolves in British Columbia but a sad day for public engagement and policy that will surely bring international condemnation to our borders."
April 17, 2015 - Pacific Wild Update
B.C. government drastically overestimates the impact of wolves on threatened caribou herds
In a wolf cull, sanctioned by the B.C. government on January 15, 2015, as many as 184 wolves were to be shot from helicopters as part of an ill-conceived plan to save endangered caribou herds in the South Selkirk and Peace regions.
Today, the B.C. government discloses that 84 wolves were killed validating independent biologists concerns that wolves are unduly being scapegoated for the decline of caribou. These kill figures show the B.C. government has once again overestimated the population of wolves in endangered caribou habitat providing further evidence that they simply do not understand the predator prey-dynamics in the region. This wolf cull is proposed to continue for four more years unless our voices are heard.

Update from Pacific Wild
January 27, 2015
11 Days of Wolf Killing
Since the surprise announcement that the Canadian province of British Columbia was beginning an immediate aerial kill program that would leave over 180 wild wolves dead by hunters in helicopters, the international condemnation has been significant. Thousands of letters and emails have been sent and Ministry phone lines have been ringing off the hook from people expressing their outrage. Over 130,000 people have signed the petition opposing the wolf kill and over 500 people have donated over $40,000 to Pacific Wild's Indiegogo campaign to stop this wildlife tragedy. This is an incredible show of support for B.C.'s threatened wolves. Thank you.
But this is a bittersweet issue. We know that tomorrow morning helicopters are rising to the sky and with the aid of satellite tracking collars (placed on the wolves a year ago by the B.C. government), packs of wolves will be shot and left to die a cruel and inhumane death. Wolves did not cause the decline of caribou in B.C., but government did. Years of habitat destruction and unbridled human access to sensitive caribou habitat has caused the decline and as a final act of desperation and diversion, wolves are being scapegoated by the B.C. government.
This wolf kill is happening because of government negligence and we can't allow wolves to pay for it.
Pacific Wild is researching a legal strategy to end this kill. We cannot allow the culling of a species to become a standard wildlife management tool in B.C.. We also believe that the hunt is breaking the government's own animal cruelty laws. It states that animals must be inspected after being shot to ensure they are dead and not wounded - but we know that these helicopters are unable to land in most areas where the wolves are being hunted.
With the Save the BC Wolves Indiegogo campaign we are supporting ground crews in the field who are actively working to document the kill program. We are designing ads for a new public campaign that will bring this issue front and centre to British Columbians. Pacific Wild is working for the day that wolves are not "managed" but viewed as icons of our spectacular planet. We are over 80% towards our crowd funding campaign.
If every person who has singed the Save B.C. Wolves petition over the last few days supported this campaign we would reach our goal by tomorrow.
Support B.C. wolves; support Pacific Wild's crowd funding campaign. Forward the petition, write our politicians. If we don't stop this now it will become standard management practice for B.C's wildlife for many years to come.

The Scottish-registered trust, managed from Henley-on-Thames by Mark Barnett of Invesco Perpetual, reported a total return on net asset value of 12.5 per cent for the year to March 31. This was ahead of a return of 8.8 per cent on its benchmark FTSE All-Share Index.
EIT, which had shareholders' funds of £1.23 billion at March 31, says in its results: "The company is registered in Scotland and the board is mindful of the referendum on Scottish independence in September 2014. The board considers a vote for Scottish independence will create major prolonged uncertainties, both for the Scottish economy, including tax and currency, and for the regulatory environment in which the company operates."
The trust's chairman, Jim Pettigrew, says: "This is a serious question for any company, like ours, which is registered in Scotland … The board will continue to keep the situation under review and to look to act in shareholders' best interests."
EIT proposed a final dividend of 8.5p-a-share, resulting in a 3.1 per cent rise in full-year dividend to 23.5p.

Low R-value is fine for light weight, small pack and 3 season use
I like this pad the best of any I have tried. It's incredibly small and light for the comfort. Note that I like that it has low R-value as I use it for summer and indoors. I'll take something different like the new Xtherm for winter or very cold temps.

World traveler. Military officer. All-around good guy.
I'm an easygoing, athletic guy with an adventurous streak and a mind for politics who likes traveling all over the world, cheering for my favorite teams, and getting lost in a good book. Don't see any of your hobbies on this list? Don't worry. What I do is less important to me than who I'm with. If I had to choose just a few words to describe myself, I'd pick attentive, stable, sensitive, and curious. People close to me would probably also add smart and fun to that list, but I'll leave that up to you to decide. Growing up in Texas, Alaska, Indonesia, Australia, and England gave me a broad worldview and a taste for travel. I'm hoping to meet a pretty, independent woman who shares some of my interests and introduces me to hers. Physically I'm attracted to fit, health conscious women with warm smiles and lots of energy. Beyond that, the qualities that matter most to me are intelligence, education, and ambition. Does this sound like you? I hope so. I look forward to meeting you very soon.

47 CFR 22.143 - Construction prior to grant of application.
Applicants may construct facilities in the Public Mobile services prior to grant of their applications, subject to the provisions of this section, but must not operate such facilities until the FCC grants an authorization. If the conditions stated in this section are not met, applicants must not begin to construct facilities in the Public Mobile Services.
(a) When applicants may begin construction. An applicant may begin construction of a facility 35 days after the date of the Public Notice listing the application for that facility as acceptable for filing, except that an applicant whose application to operate a new cellular system was selected in a random selection process may begin construction of that new cellular system 35 days after the date of the Public Notice listing it as the tentative selectee.
(b) Notification to stop. If the FCC for any reason determines that construction should not be started or should be stopped while an application is pending, and so notifies the applicant, orally (followed by written confirmation) or in writing, the applicant must not begin construction or, if construction has begun, must stop construction immediately.
(c) Assumption of risk. Applicants that begin construction pursuant to this section before receiving an authorization do so at their own risk and have no recourse against the United States for any losses resulting from:
(4) Incurring whatever costs may be necessary to bring the facility into compliance with applicable laws, or FCC rules and orders.
(d) Conditions. Except as indicated, all pre-grant construction is subject to the following conditions:
(1) The application is not mutually exclusive with any other application, except for successful bidders and tentative selectees in the Cellular Radiotelephone Service;
(4) For any construction or alteration that would exceed the requirements of § 17.7 of this chapter, the licensee has notified the appropriate Regional Office of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA Form 7460-1), secured a valid FAA determination of "no hazard," and received antenna height clearance and obstruction marking and lighting specifications (FCC Form 854R) from the FCC for the proposed construction or alteration.
(5) The applicant has indicated in the application that the proposed facility would not have a significant environmental effect, in accordance with §§ 1.1301 through 1.1319 of this chapter; and,
(6) Under applicable international agreements and rules in this part, individual coordination of the proposed channel assignment(s) with a foreign administration is not required.

Can Krugmanomics Be Saved?
Steven Hill: So according to Krugmanomics, taking on too much debt is not the problem – it's not being able to pay the debt that is the problem. And Krugman's solution, apparently, is to be able to depreciate your currency and/or default on your debts, leaving the creditors holding the bag.

Series: Saturday Science Links (25 entries)
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
A "Church Kid" Learns to Integrate Theology and Biology
Everything changed for me when I learned to acknowledge that I was made in the image of Jesus, who was theology and biology integrated.
An Unexpected Adventure: Roger Wiens on Faith, Science, and Mars
Being a scientist in the Christian community, now that's a little difficult at times. Many Christians have stubbornly resisted understanding the vastness of God's creation in time and space.
Chance or Necessity in the Origin of Life?
I think the deepest question is "chance vs. necessity" in the origin of life. Not so much whether life was bound to occur...but more the question, "given that life started, was it destined to look the way we find it?"
Living Water: How a Remarkable Chemical Shaped the Land and Life of Earth
From geology to biology to research into the origin of life itself, the power of water shows the faithfulness and creativity of our Creator.
I Have a Friend Who Believes Science Disproves Faith, Part 1
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
All is Dust and DNA
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
Why should Christians consider evolutionary creation?
Evolution is a challenging subject to consider in light of biblical faith, so it is often easier to ignore or reject it than to engage in meaningful discussion about the topic. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and in our relationships with other people—both believers and non-believers.
How Science Led Me to A Deeper Faith
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
Newton, Leibniz, and the Role of God in Planetary Orbits
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Should Christians Trust Scientific Experts?
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
What Does it Mean to be "Pro-Science"? (and Why it Matters for Space Exploration)
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
The Aroma of the Knowledge of God: How the Sense of Smell Inspires Worship and Awe
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Series: Reviewing "Darwinism and the Divine" (3 entries)
Ch. 8- 10: Exploring Options, Examining Evidence
The prevailing evangelical view that evolution is in competition with the biblical account of creation sets up students to encounter a false dichotomy, where they feel they must choose between science or their faith.
Soul, Strength and Mind: How BioLogos brought me out of hiding
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
God Decides, We Measure
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The Genesis Rock
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.

...over the last month I've been trying to think of a show name for my new guy. Haven't come up with anything spectacular yet.
My criteria: Nothing frilly or girly. Nothing long and overdone (think QH names like Poco Little Mister Chex Brown Boy...no offense QHs...I own one...but the names are so long now.) I want it short, to the point and strong.
His info: He's black. TB X Fresian...although you can't really see much Fresian besides the black. 16.1. VERY laid back but forward to the jumps. Big sweepy trot and canter. TOTAL chow hound...loves his meals. Not dominant in the herd but not submissive...just kind of a cool "whatev" kind of guy. Scared of thunderstorms...because he was almost killed in Hurricane Gustav. His barn name is Parker.
I've thought of:
The Gentleman
Park Avenue
Valet (because he's a "parker" haha)
But after searching allpedigree...those names have already been used a bunch...
Any ideas?

How to Solve the Climate Problem
The key requirement is that the United States and China agree to apply across-the-board fees to carbon-based fuels. Why would China do that? Lots of reasons. China is developing rapidly and it does not want to be saddled with the fossil fuel addiction that plagues the United States. Besides, China would be hit at least as hard as the United States by climate change. The most economically efficient way for China to limit its fossil fuel dependence, to encourage energy efficiency and carbon-free energies, is via a uniform carbon fee.
The same is true for the United States. Indeed, if the United States does not take such an approach but rather continues to throw lifelines to special interests, its economic power and standard of living will deteriorate, because such actions make the United States economy less and less efficient relative to the rest of the world.
Agreement between the United States and China comes down to negotiating the ratio of their respective carbon tax rates. In this negotiation the question of fairness will come up--the United States being more responsible for the excess carbon dioxide in the air today despite its smaller population. That negotiation will not be easy, but once both countries realize they are on the same boat and will sink or survive together, an agreement should be possible. Europe, Japan and most developed countries would likely agree to a similar status to that of the United States. It would not be difficult to deal with any country that refuses to levy a comparable across-the-board carbon fee. An import duty could be collected by countries importing products from any nation that does not levy such a carbon fee. The World Trade Organization already has rules permitting such duties. The duty would be based on standard estimates of the amount of fossil fuels that go into producing the imported product, with the exporting company allowed the option of demonstrating that its product is made without fossil fuels, or with a lesser amount of them. In fact, exporting countries would have a strong incentive to impose their own carbon fee, so that they could keep the revenue themselves.
As for developing nations, and the poorest nations in the world, how can they be treated fairly? They also must have a fee on their fossil fuel use or a duty applied to the products that they export. That is the only way that fossil fuels can be phased out. If these countries do not have a tax on fossil fuels, then industry will move there, as it has moved already from the West to China and India, with carbon pollution moving along with it. Fairness can be achieved by using the funds from export duties, which are likely to greatly exceed foreign aid, to improve the economic and social well-being of the developing nations.
In summary, the backbone of a solution to the climate problem is a flat carbon emissions price applied across all fossil fuels at the source. This carbon price (fee, tax) must rise continually, at a rate that is economically sound. The funds must be distributed back to the citizens (not to special interests)--otherwise the tax rate will never be high enough to lead to a clean energy future. If your government comes back and tells you that it is going to have a "goal" or "target" for carbon emission reductions, even a "mandatory" one, you know that it is lying to you, and that it doesn't give a damn about your children or grandchildren. For the moment, let's assume that our governments will see the light.
Once the necessity of a backbone flat carbon price across all fossil fuel sources is recognized, the required elements for a framework agreement become clear. The principal requirement will be to define how this tax rate will vary between nations. Recalcitrance of any nations to agree to the carbon price can be handled via import duties, which are permissible under existing international agreements. The framework must also define how proceeds of carbon duties will be used to assure fairness, encourage practices that improve women's rights and education, and help control population. A procedure should be defined for a regular adjustment of funds' distribution for fairness and to reward best performance. Well, what happens if, instead of accepting the need for a rising carbon price, our governments continue to deceive us, setting goals and targets for carbon emissions reductions?
In that case we had better start thinking about the Venus syndrome.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Toyota Avalon
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.8
The 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan is more than just the company's flagship car, it's a testament to Toyota's ability to adapt its product to the uniquely American market. There are still a lot of people out there who like cars, not SUVs or CUVs or pickups, but cars. And, within that population there are many who like their cars big, plush and carefree. With the exception of the carefree part, this used to be the sole domain of the American automobile industry, with names like Buick Electra and Mercury Grand Marquis leading the way. Today, there are only a few large near-luxury sedans offered, making the Avalon's job all the easier. With appointments approaching a Lexus level of refinement and comfort, the 2012 Toyota Avalon 4-door sedan can easily handle competition from such heavyweights as the Buick LaCrosse and Chrysler 300. However, Hyundai's Genesis might be able to cause the big Toyota some heartburn, with features equaling and in some cases exceeding the Avalon's at a very competitive price.
Looking for a big, soft-riding cruiser with loads of creature comforts, room for five and a massive trunk? Look no further than the 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan.
While the 2012 Toyota Avalon is big on comfort and quality, it's not really a looker. Those who seek a more stylish and sophisticated design may be happier with the Hyundai Genesis, Buick LaCrosse, Ford Taurus or Chrysler 300.
Fresh from a mild makeover last year, there are no major changes to the 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan.
Driving Impressions As one might expect, the 2012 Toyota Avalon is in its element when cruising broad expanses of smooth, straight highway. A compliant ride takes precedent over quick reflexes, but most...Avalon buyers will likely find the car more than exceeds their performance expectations. Steering response and brake feel are strong, but again they do not promote the same type of driving excitement one gets from driving a Chrysler 300C or Ford Taurus SHO. The 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan's front seats are soft and wide without much in the way of lateral support. In back, the Avalon sedan delivers head and legroom in spades, and features a class-exclusive reclining rear seatback. While a relatively low center tunnel makes 3-across seating at least a short-term possibility, the two outboard spots are clearly the locations of choice. One caveat: Because the seatbacks don't fold flat and trunk capacity is a mere 14.7 cubic feet, the Avalon's cargo-toting skills are relatively modest.
Optional DVD-based Navigation system
The 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan brings a new-generation DVD-based navigation voice-activated system that features a larger than normal LCD touch screen with improved graphics, more intuitive controls and an overall higher degree of user-friendliness.
Reclining rear seatbacks
Included on both 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan models, the 60/40 split seatback offers five positions of manually adjustable recline that adds even more long-distance appeal to the Avalon's exceptionally accommodating aft quarters.
To list the 2012 Toyota Avalon's interior attributes would take up more space than this review allows. Suffice to say a well-isolated cabin is at the top of the list, as is the lovely soft-touch padding on just about every surface. An Optitron electroluminescent gauge cluster is entertaining as well as easy on the eyes, and a reconfigured center stack plays home to the available DVD-navigation with its 7-inch LCD screen. With leather seating standard, even the least expensive Avalon sedan feels like a 5-star luxury car, and by opting for the available heated and cooled seats, some may feel they've gotten a Lexus at a Toyota price, and they just might be right.
Last year's mild makeover brought a slightly more modern feel to the Toyota Avalon's nose and taillights, but the rest of the car remains ultra conservative and slightly dated. The 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan features bulging halogen/HID headlights and LED-infused taillights with plenty of chrome touches all over the car signaling its near-luxury intent. Both the base and Limited cars ride on 17-inch wheels and tires, but the Limited gets a handsome set of 10-spoke mirror-finish rims befitting its higher pecking order status.
The 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan boasts an impressive features roster that includes a full array of power assists, dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, wood-grain trim, power moonroof, 9-speaker premium audio system with XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth connectivity, USB/Aux/iPod inputs, a rearview monitor, power front seats, class-exclusive reclining rear seatbacks, seven airbags and Toyota's comprehensive Five Star Safety System with new brake override circuitry. The Avalon Limited adds a 12-speaker/660-watt JBL Premium Synthesis audio system, full climate-controlled front seats, enhanced perforated-leather and wood-grain trims, 4-door Smart Key with Push Button Start, a power rear sunshade, full HID headlights and more. All 2012 Toyota Avalon sedans include electronic traction and stability control, front side-impact and full-length side-curtain airbags, as well as a driver's knee airbag.
The extras list for either version of the 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan is a short one. Key enhancements for the standard Avalon include the same 660-watt JBL premium audio system that comes in the Limited – with or without a DVD-based navigation system that trims the disc count in the CD changer from six to four. Also on offer are heated front seats, alone or as part of a package that includes a driver-seat/power-mirror-memory system and an 8-way power passenger seat. Save for a dealer-installed remote engine starter that also can be fitted to the base Avalon, the Limited limits its options to the aforementioned DVD-based navigation system.
The 2012 Toyota Avalon sedan's sole engine/transmission combo – Toyota's 3.5-liter V6 and a 6-speed automatic transmission – delivers an impressive combination of swiftness, smoothness and economy. Although the engine's 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque are hardly the stuff of legend, it features efficiency-boosting VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) on both the intake and exhaust side. Coupled with a responsive multi-mode 6-speed automatic transmission, it helps this roughly 3,600-pound sedan impressively sprint from 0-60 mph in less than seven seconds.

268 horsepower @ 6,200 rpm

Author has written 4 stories for Naruto.
My real name is only for me to know, but you may call me Mihkail.
There are a lot of things I could write, but most of the stories I submit have unapologetically (lol that's not a word) dark themes. Everything is rated M, and as crude and as graphic as my stories may seem to some readers, I keep the worst of it hidden. These stories are a personal outlet. My little bit of creative therapy. If there's something you don't like, or something that makes you uncomfortable, it's your responsibility to stop reading, and find something else to suit your taste.
I have no sympathy for those who complain about what I write. The warnings are there for a reason. Please pay attention to them. I have no desire to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but the fact is, I have some nasty scenes floating around. So just beware, and proceed with caution.
You should also know that I do not have a steady schedule of updating. I'm aware it's frustrating to those who are anxious to keep reading, but unfortunately, that's the way I am. If I decide to discontinue something, I will post a notice on my profile.
I appreciate reviews, and I take constructive criticism seriously. I might not follow everyone's advice or requests, or consider everyone's complaints, but I do pay attention to them. So, here's a big thanks to everyone who takes the time to review my chapters. You guys make me reevaluate my work constantly, and push myself to be a better writer, and I love you for that.
Her Darkest Hour & Poetic Injustice:
Discontinued. Perhaps one day they will be revised.
To Duel With Fate:
I haven't started chapter 14 yet, but it will involve a supporting character that has yet to make an appearance. Am excited. :D
Edit: It will have to wait until school is done. Writing was starting to mess up my grades.

Spinach Gnudi
7 comments | Leave Comment
Spinach Gnudi
Gnudi is sort of like a cheesey gnocchi, made from ricotta cheese and mixed with spinach it is a full healthy meal. Serve along side some crusty bread and you will have a happy family.
- Prep Time : 25 min
- Cook Time : 15 min
- Ready Time : 40 min
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 pound bag frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 3 eggs
- a few grates of fresh grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 5 tablespoons all purpose flour, plus about 1 cup for coating
- 4 cups favorite tomato sauce
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
In a large bowl, mix ricotta, spinach, Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Stir in nutmeg, salt, pepper, and 5 tablespoons flour. Form mixture in to small, flattened balls using extra flour to hold it together and coat it. Slide formed gnudi into the boiling water. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary. Remove the gnudi using a slotted spoon after they float to the top and have cooked for about 4 minutes, allow to sit on a large plate.
Meanwhile bring a medium frying pan to medium low heat. Pour in your favorite sauce, from a jar or homemade, bring to a low simmer. Place gnudi dumplings inside the sauce, heat for another minute or two and serve.

This sounds delicious. It has all the ingredients I like and sounds easy to fix. Can't wait to try it.
Instead of flour can I use Quinoa? Also using crushed garlic and lemon sauce (sold at whole foods and zankou) with great crushed tomates and half can tomato paste makes easy breesy delicious saucee
I'm going to make this.I bet its awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Why didn't Flyers respond to Talbot headshot?
Jan 13, 2012, 3:41 PM EDT
Last night, Islanders defenseman Steve Staios tagged Philly's Max Talbot with a huge check, drawing the ire of both Talbot and Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette.
Today, CSN Philadelphia's Tim Panaccio is wondering why the Flyers didn't respond.
Staios wasn't penalized on the play and sources say he'll receive no supplementary discipline from the league. In short, he appears to be getting off scot-free (Staios was reportedly grinning on the bench after the hit), not exactly what you'd expect from the rough-and-tumble Flyers.
Panaccio notes the non-response was alarming, but thinks is has to do with who wasn't in the lineup (namely, enforcers Zac Rinaldo and Jody Shelley) rather than who was.
"Rinaldo is not a heavyweight like Shelley, but for all intents and purposes, he's been the Flyers' main enforcer this season with 11 fights, by default," Panaccio explained. "Laviolette was not available on Friday to explain whether he was disappointed in the lack of response from his own team or whether he needs to play Rinaldo every game, regardless."
Not having Rinaldo available is an explanation, though not a strong one. The Philly lineup featured enough capable fighters — Wayne Simmonds has scrapped five times this year, Scott Hartnell averages six bouts a season — and it's not like Staios, an average-sized 38-year-old, is a gold-glover.
But Staios is pretty old-school, familiar with "the code" and probably would've taken on any comer in response to the hit. Of course, even if the Flyers on the ice at the time were Talbot, Sean Couturier, Matt Read, Braydon Coburn and Kimmo Timonen —
though Staios did play three more shifts in the third period. (Correction: He didn't play another shift.)
- jpelle82 - Jan 13, 2012 at 4:33 PM
pretty weak…couldnt believe there wasnt a penalty on this either.
- bcisleman - Jan 13, 2012 at 9:25 PM
Wasn't a penalty because Staios led w/ his shoulder & didn't target the head.
- greggoldberg - Jan 13, 2012 at 4:49 PM
"though Staios did play three more shifts in the third period."
You sure about that?
Play stopped for the hit with 4:25 left and Staios didn't come on the ice after that.
And as for the guys on the ice, I don't think any Flyers fan wants Couturier, Read, or Timonen getting in a fight at all, and to be without Coburn in the last five minutes of a one-goal game wouldn't have been ideal.
- Mike Halford - Jan 13, 2012 at 5:07 PM
My mistake. Read the clock wrong. Thanks for the heads-up.
- haterzgonahate - Jan 13, 2012 at 6:45 PM
i haven't seen the hit.. so i don't know whether it was clean or dirty but i remember my junior days and depending on the situation.. sometimes it was your own bloody fault for getting tagged open ice and i would never expect my teammates to rumble because of my own stupid mistake.
not every solid hit needs to lead to a brew-ha-ha ya know! seems more and more teams are figuring this out because that's the direction the league is steering them. makes sense when you think about it.
or we could take the Bruins fan mentality and just call everybody else soft. that's the norm these days
cue comment retaliation…

lol ok. he punched him in the face, but you can be right if you want, i feel bad that this is all you get to chime in about these days. unless its a dipietro injury, there really isnt any news coming out of long island – or wins.

On a desert planet scorched by twin suns, bounty hunters scour the planet looking for Vash who has a $60,000,000,000 bounty on his head! Vash has been credited with the destruction of several towns, but miraculously there is no record of him ever taking a life. However, only two things ever happen to those who catch up to Vash - they either crawl away wounded (mostly from self-inflicted damage), or they stagger away in disbelief that such a dork could possibly be the man they are looking for!

Comments about Turbo III Vacuum Dust Bag (3-Pack):
I ordered a vacuum and filters. They sent the filters but no vacuum. I had to order the vacuum from elswhere so I think it's strange you want a review for filters when I don't have a vacuum yet.

Plitvice Lakes
We are planning to drive from Split to Ljubljana in one day. Is it possible to schedule a quick visit to Plitvice Lakes National Park enroute? I know it deserves more time, but that's all we have this trip. If doable, what route, timing, etc. would you recommend? Thank you.
