Eyes wide open
Citadel coach Kevin Higgins has seen another side of Urban Meyer

Two years ago in The Swamp, students held up signs and chanted for Urban Meyer to put walk-on Tim Higgins in the game against Western Carolina in the fourth quarter of a Florida blowout.
Meyer obliged.
"The fans wanted Higgins, so I gave them Higgins," Meyer said after the game.
Meyer not only put the senior scout team player in the game, he lined the wide receiver up in the backfield and gave him a carry. He didn't gain any yards, but he gained fame that day as the hero of Senior Day and of walk-ons and scout-team players everywhere.
"Coach Meyer didn't have to do that. The kid was a walk-on, a scout-team player," said Higgins' father, Kevin Higgins. "Putting him in the game really made Tim's career there. It meant an awful lot for him in his experience as a Gator. It's something Tim is always going to remember. That was incredible.
"Coach Meyer was trying to win a national championship. For him to take the time to do that says an awful lot about him as a person, his character and his understanding of the game. It speaks volumes for his character and what he's doing for kids apart from winning football games."
Tim Higgins had his big day in The Swamp. Now, two years later, it's his father's turn.
Kevin Higgins is the head coach of The Citadel, and he's bringing his Bulldogs, a heavy underdog, to Florida Field on Saturday to face Meyer and the No. 3 Gators.
Higgins knows what he's getting into because he knows Meyer and he knows a great deal about Meyer's program, mostly through his son. Tim Higgins graduated from UF early after the 2006 season and used his extra year of eligibility to play for his father at The Citadel in 2007.
"We do have a relationship with Coach Meyer," Kevin Higgins said. "We talk a lot about their program. We talk about the work ethic that exists at Florida, the way they run the program and the commitment their players have made. When our players ask about something, we'll say, 'Here's how the national champions do it. We can do that as well.'
"We talk a lot about their program during the course of the offseason, and during the season."
Higgins said one of his family's first experiences with Meyer came after Tim injured his knee during a spring practice in Meyer's first year at Florida.
"He tore his ACL and that night his position coach, Billy Gonzales, and Coach Meyer called my wife and had a chance to talk to her about the injury and how everything was going to be fine," Higgins said. "When I heard that, it was amazing to me that a guy like that would take the time to do that for a walk-on player. It says a lot about Coach Meyer."
Tim Higgins came to UF from Northville, Mich., as a walk-on under Ron Zook in 2003. He did not play in his first two seasons under Zook, or his first under Meyer. But in 2006, he earned his way onto the field playing special teams.
"Tim shared stories about the transition when Coach Meyer took over," Kevin Higgins said. "He said it was incredible how quickly he was able to get to the heart of the matter and change the entire environment and get the players believing in themselves. Tim had a chance to share with me a lot of how Coach Meyer runs things."
Kevin Higgins knows there's a good chance Meyer's team will run his over Saturday. The Citadel is 4-7 and the Gators are such a heavy favorite there's not a betting line on the game.
It could get ugly, but Higgins said he and his players are excited about their opportunity to play in The Swamp.
"I've talked to our players that this is our bowl game," Higgins said. "Our regular season is over and we have a chance to go play a good bowl game. We have to play loose, with a certain amount of intensity.
"We can't go in scared of making mistakes. You've got to go in believing you're going to get the job done."
Higgins calls this a "mirror" game for his players.
"They can get up Sunday morning and look in the mirror and answer the question: Can I play at this level?" he said. "This is the challenge we give to our guys when we're playing a game like this."

To do this, all of the study volunteers were given all three tests. Each test is non-invasive, requiring only the use of exhaled air.
The electronic nose was able to correctly differentiate healthy people from those with physician-diagnosed asthma in 87.5 percent of the cases. FENO was able to correctly identify asthma in 79.2 percent of the study volunteers and lung function testing (spirometry) discerned just 70.8 percent of the people with asthma.
When the electronic nose and FENO were combined, the two tests together correctly identified almost 96 percent of the asthma cases.
"This is potentially a great tool. It could be used for screening if it's affordable or for seeing the affect of anti-inflammatory medicines. But, it definitely needs more research," said Leath.
Two other asthma experts agreed.
"This device is interesting and warrants a further look, but it still needs to be perfected and the researchers need to figure out its niche," said Dr. Jennifer Appleyard, chief of allergy and immunology at St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit. "We need to know if it's good for diagnostics or for measuring improvements after treatment. In some diseases, you use blood markers to monitor treatment response. Could you use this to see if patients are responding? We also need to know if it's good for diagnosing all types of asthma."
Dr. David Rosenstreich, director of the division of allergy and immunology at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, added: "An objective and fast test for diagnosing asthma would be helpful, and this test seems to be a non-invasive way of sampling for the underlying problem. This test seems relatively easy for patients and it does have potential, but they've only looked at a very narrow collection of people who have allergic asthma."
Both Appleyard and Leath noted that cost might initially limit the use of an electronic nose.

After months of did-they-or-didn't-they teasing, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have finally said, "I do".
Turns out when Victoria Beckham goes to the shops to stock up on loo roll, she doesn't exactly get recognised straight away.
Here's what happens when good neighbours become good friends, people.
They've been the subject of "are they or aren't they married?" rumours for months now, but Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are apparently poised to tie the knot this weekend.

Well I haven't had the time or even the desire to update this RR in quite a while. After I finished the ride I left my bike in CO, flew to Seattle to grab my last few possessions and my car and drove back to CO to work for a friends software company. I was going to move to Prague and teach English but the money here (and time to travel) was too good to pass up.
So, on with the Adventure.
I hung out with Alex and his buddy, got barked at by a lot of dogs and caught a local boxing match.
I also came across this great old guy in a bar.
Then it was off to the south. It was a fairly long boring ride to La Paz. I'm going to past in my comments from FB for this part of my trip.
So I wanted to give my impression of the people in MX so far. I was going to tell the story of the pickup truck full of guys who passed me yesterday. We exchanged waves and thumbs up cause they were drinking Modello's in the back. I ran into them down the road a bit and they gave me one and we talked about the bike and where I was from and where I was going. That was cool. But that's not the story I want to relate.
As I was nearing La Paz I was looking for a place to pull over and stretch a leg and adjust my map before entering town. I say a big lot and as I pulled in noticed about 15 bikes there, mostly Harleys. It was a Mexican Biker Gang. Cue ominous music. Actually they were really nice and asked if I wanted to ride into town with them. In town we went to one of their father's house, the leader of the Gang, the Corsairios (Corsairs, I immediately felt at home). After a couple beers they invited me to stay for a bbq and birhthday party and said I could crash there. I wasn't getting a bad vibe from any of them so accepted. Had a great time eating carne and drinking tequila, mescal, and whisky. 2 of the guys were amazing guitar players, especially the 'kid' of the gang, and most of them could sing. We spent most of the night singing Mexican ballads which I didn't know. I even joined in, not very well, with my harmonica. The language barrier was a bit of an issue but a couple of them had some English so we managed.
So for all those people who warned me about the violence of Mexico, pzzzzzzzzt! The biker gangs are friendlier than in the US.
Here we are hanging out and singing the Happy Birthday song in Spanish.
Here's a direct link to the
So I crashed on their couch and after a big breakfast they made me (and a shot) it was off on the road to Todos Santos. I took the wrong road, twice, on my way there but eventually arrived. As I was driving around looking for a guest house my bike started making an atrocious noise. Just as I shut it off a head popped over a fence and asked me if everything was alright. A quick conversation later I have a place to stay for dirt cheap at a very nice private bungalow and a garage to work in thanks to expat Dean.
Here's my room which was above the garage.
Turns out the noise was a broken radiator fan blade. Kind of fortunate it was right in the center and not one of the blades so I was able to JB Weld it.
The finished product. Still on the bike and doing fine 14,000 miles later.
I spent a couple days in Todos Santos checking out the beaches and drinking with Dean and his buddies.
Of course I saw the original Hotel California that the Eagles sing about. Nothing special now. Fairly yuppie.
When I went to leave the bike wouldn't start. I quickly determined it was the clutch relay that prevents the bike from starting with the kickstand down. With the help of the internet I spliced that out and was back on the road to La Paz.
I stayed at the Larimar Hotel for 250 pesos which was pretty cheap. It was the first of hundreds of places where they had me bring my motorbike into the lobby for the night.
La Paz isn't much of an interesting town but I did come across a good specialty beer shop/pub, I had a good night talking to the couple that owns the place. Unfortunately I didn't right down the name or street. Maybe someone else has found it and can chime in.
The next day was up, through customs and then a long wait to board the ferry to Mazatlan. A couple things to point out here.
1st, as of Jan 2012, you don't need to do any Importation paperwork for your vehicle for all of Baja and a strip of northern MX along the U.S. border. I did the paperwork in Ensenada but could have done in in La Paz.
2nd, there are 2 ferries from La Paz to Mazatlan and they both carry vehicles. One of them is the very nice passenger ferry. One is the truck ferry. Book well in advance if you want the nice one. They are the same price.
Hanging out waiting for the ferry.
Guess which ferry I got? Yep the truckers ferry. All of the rooms were taken up by truckers and their women. I pitched my tent and had a pretty nice night just behind that white trailer in the center of the photo.
A couple of the truckers spoke English and we swapped tails of the road. I got some good info on what to expect and places to go. Interestingly it seemed that all of their 'girls' were native (non-Spanish descent) that they'd picked up in some tiny village somewhere.
It was pretty heading out of La Paz as the sunset with mainland MX a head of me.

Lemon-Cilantro Broccoli and Chickpea Salad
One of my more popular salads is my spin on Whole Foods' Detox Salad. I used lime and cilantro to complement the riced vegetables. I named mine "Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad with Lime and Cilantro" because I cringe when I hear the name "Detox Salad".
In general, I always assumed that the enzyme myth was in fact, just a myth….. until I saw this video. (That long pause is Dr Gregor's hallmark, at least in my mind).
In this other video, De Gregor highlights the presence of sulforaphane in broccoli which enhances liver enzymes, as the most potent natural phase 2 enzyme-inducer. However, since sulforaphane is only created when two components interact, until you crush the raw cells (ie, with chewing or chopping), you miss out on sulforaphane. He later mentions that this needs to be done prior to cooking broccoli. Yes, the "enzyme myth" is true. Cooking is not as good for the broccoli's sulforaphane levels.
But who likes raw broccoli?
To get the best of both worlds, a fun solution would be to chop your broccoli, wait a bit for the enzymes to work and then cook it.
And yes, this was my round-about introduction to this lemon-cilantro chickpea salad with almost riced broccoli, which I actually steamed for a gentler taste. Although, you are completely free to try this with raw broccoli rice, too. The lemon juice would make it tender, too, with time.
Poll time. Raw or cooked broccoli: which do you prefer? :)

Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Garlic Tahini Dressing
Easing back into cooking in Toronto, I tried to highlight local, seasonal vegetables. We arrived too late to grow our own garden but we had a little help from family.
These cucumbers were courtesy of Rob's mother's garden and the tomatoes came from my sister-in-law's parents' garden. The dressing was a simple lemon-tahini-garlic combination that pretty much never fails. Although the twist was adding some olives. I don't use them very often but it was an unusual and nice accent to the creamy dressing.
What are you growing this year?

Blueberry Tamari Greens Bowl & Salad Samurai Giveaway
Thank goodness I got my share of summer while I was still in Houston. Spending a month in Africa was sunny, but still a bit nippy, and definitely not that green. Our first week back in Canada was hot and humid, but that was an anomaly. Toronto didn't get much of a summer this year, either.
However, while I am no farmer, I think one thing that has benefitted from the rainy days has been the blueberries. The wild blueberries were unbelievably big this year and the cultivated ones, even more massive. Rob tried to warn me when I loaded up with some cultivated blueberries: They don't taste that great, he whispered to me. Turns out they were big and blueberry-delicious. And I didn't have to share them with Rob. Score! :)
Without restraint, I added them to my morning oats and carefully crafted this salad courtesy of Terry'sFrom Salad Samurai. A multi-component, main dish salad with a spinach base, filled with cucumber and blueberries, beefed up with Ginger Beer tofu and topped with sticky, sweet & savoury almonds with Chinese 5-spice. I tried to stay true to the recipe, but only changes were to decrease the tamari because it was an ever-present ingredient in nearly all the components. I also did not want to turn on my oven for the tofu, so I pan-fried it in its marinade. It wasn't as crispy as it would have been baked, but still good. The star of the salad, other than the big blueberries, were the Chinese 5-spiced glazed almonds which were perfectly balanced with the tamari, agave and the Chinese 5-spice imparted an interesting edge that I did not expect to taste so good.
This was not my first salad from the cookbook and it will certainly not be my last. Because the salads are huge ensembles of dressings, flavoured mains and interesting toppings, it can be hard to settle down and make an entire salad. Terry has some tips to master your art of making heavenly salads throughout the week. I have been picking and choosing each component separately, although, I really want to make everything: Thai Seitan Larb in Lettuce Cups, Lentil Pate Banh Mi Salad Rolls, East-West Roasted Corn Salad, Green Papaya Salad with Lemongrass Tofu, Miso Edamame Succotash Salad, Seitan Bacon Wedge Salad with Horseradish Dressing, Kimchi Black Rice with Asian Pear, Collards and Sweet Potato Crunch Bowl… ok, ok, I will stop. I basically want to make everything. The recipes are grouped by season and feature salads with loads of flavour from lots of fresh vegetables (no kidding) but also fresh herbs and spices. Terry also has a fun chapter for sweet salads, including a coconut carrot cake salad and overnight oats with Mexican chocolate creme that are calling out for salads for breakfast and dessert, too. Trust me, I am looking forward to cooking through this throughout the whole year.
Thankfully, the publisher is letting me share the recipe AND give a cookbook to one reader living anywhere in the world (since I will be shipping it). To be entered, please leave a comment here, telling me about your favourite salad. I will randomly select a winner on September 5, 2014. Good luck!

Creamy Curried Lentil Salad
It is nice to be home again. While I have a very bare kitchen (some borrowed knives, cutting board, pot and frypan only with a few containers), I am still happy to be starting my new life. We had dedicated more time for unpacking over the long weekend, but since we had nothing to unpack, we spent more time at my parents, thoroughly exploiting their fully functional kitchen.
We quickly gravitated to make old favourites: Tamarind Lentils, Pad Thai, and Moroccan Carrot and Chickpea Salad. Then, finally itching to make something new, I decided to make a spin on two of my other favourite salads, aka The Best Lentil Salad and The Best Chickpea Salad. This time, I used lentils, capers and currants but with a dressing more similar to the tahini-maple-curry dressing from the chickpea salad. I added some greens, too, which I like to add to lentil salads. It was so delicious, it barely lasted one meal.
Got to love simple salads like this. What is your favourite summer salad?

Colourful Veggie Tahini Noodles
Desserts and salads, that's just the way we're rolling here these days.
There is just something so pretty about colourful vegetables, I had to share this fun twist on salad. Vegetable noodles, either created with a spiralizer, a shredder, or careful knife skills, can totally change your view on salad.
Rob cheers every time we finish something. I actually apologized when I finished the balsamic vinegar but Rob gave me a high five. I am a bit antsy about the lack of smoked paprika in the house, too, but pretty confident we'll replenish it before we return to Canada (because: PENZEY'S!).
The tahini may be dwindling but I have lots of sesame seeds. I haven't resorted to making my own homemade tahini yet, but it could be fun to try. Until then, my sesame seeds are usually garnishes.
This salad dressing is a fun twist on a creamy sauce, since it is made with tahini with accents from the rice vinegar, mustard and lemon pepper seasoning. As I said, the salad was fun to create, too: spiralized zucchini is tossed with shredded carrots, thinly sliced red cabbage and instead of edamame (which would be good, too), I added sweet sugar snap peas. A bit different but fun for a change. And nice when you do not feel like cooking.
Note: I am pleading fifth amendment about the coconut flour. Some things were just meant to return to Canada. ;)

First of all, I have a gift for all of you! A free Beyond Meat product – click here for your coupon.
I don't tend to get too excited about mock meats (it is a bit processed for my liking), but was really curious after it was selected as the "real chicken" on the Today's Show. Some things are easier to find in the United States, so with a coupon for a free product (see above), how could we refuse? Beyond Meat isn't new, but it was new to me and definitely uncannily similar to chicken, complete with the grill marks. You buy it frozen and just need to defrost it prior to serving. Thus, it was super easy to make and great source of protein.
Now for the book review, as advertised, with an eccentric Caesar salad. Eccentric because it is no standard Caesar. I mean, it is a vegan version of a decidedly un-vegan salad but the twist comes from the nutritional yeast and curry powder in the dressing and the mishmash of additional ingredients. The cashew-based dressing was simply delicious, aka awesome sauce. Paired with the fresh lettuce, buttery avocado, briny capers and hemp seeds, it was a superfood-packed salad. (And by superfoods, I mean super tasting foods!) Instead of the herby croutons, I wanted this to be a complete meal and thus added the chicken-less strips overtop. The strips look a bit too perfectly rectangular but they tasted great.
The recipe comes from Straight from the Earth, by mother and daughter team Myra and Marea Goodman of Earthbound Farm fame. Neither one is vegan but have created a gorgeous cookbook filled with tantalizing recipes. There is something for everyone between the two cooks. I found myself naturally gravitating to Marea's recipes, who learned her vegan culinary tricks while living and cooking for fellow vegans in a co-op while at college. Her mother's tastes are more classical. As an example, Marea has a recipe for chipotle-lime Brazil nuts and Myra has a recipe for double-roasted maple-spiced hazelnuts. OK, OK, both sound delicious. Lots of delicious recipes, including a nut-free crispy baked kale chips with nutritional yeast and shiitake mushroom, water chestnut and tofu lettuce cups.
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to share the recipe and giveaway the cookbook to a reader living in the continental United States. To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me what you think of mock meats. The winner will be selected at random on June 8, 2014. Good luck!

Asian Kale Salad with Edamame
We reached critical mass last weekend.
I am not joking.
We ran out of room in the refrigerator.
Who knew greens could take up so much space?
I loaded up at our favourite market. $7 got us heaps of produce along with our $5 case of mangoes. The mangoes and bananas didn't go into the fridge, but it was hard enough to get my bag of 9 leeks ($1!) and 3 heads of Boston lettuce ($1!) in there.
But then, I went to the potluck. How could I not support buying some freshly picked organic kale grown by school children from a nearby elementary school? And that is how I also ended up with a good 3-4 bunches worth of kale and could barely close my fridge.
Thank goodness Rob hasn't strangled me just yet.
With prices so low, we don't feel as guilty if I don't eat through everything. But I try!!
Instead of tackling all the leeks and my new produce, I decided to dig through my vegetable bins to find the older vegetables. Finish off the snap peas, carrots and bell peppers, and the last of the scraggly cilantro and scallions. For protein, I quick-thawed some edamame.
This combination reminded me of my vegetable buddha salad bowl but since we're low on miso, I went with a dressing more reminiscent of my (other) raw Asian kale salad with edamame. With so many colourful vegetables and an Asian dressing, how could you go wrong?
Please share with me your favourite kale and leek recipes! Also, for fresh chickpeas since I scored those too! :)

Asparagus and Edamame Salad with Lime-Miso Dressing
With my meals revolving around plant-based whole foods, my mom has referred to my choice as being a vegan on steroids. While I have relaxed slightly, I still try my hardest to cater to others who may have dietary restrictions, for whatever reason. I have a friend with a sulphite allergy, family members with celiac disease and a coconut-hating mom. I was honoured when Ricki approached me to guest post on her blog. I have been reading it for years and enjoyed many of her creations (hemp brownies, the best vegan cheesecake, warm chickpea and artichoke salad and cocoa mint nibbles). All the while knowing she follows an anti-candida diet but never really knowing what it entailed. Imagine my surprise when Ricki told me how simple it really was: vegan, gluten-free meals without mushrooms, peanuts, pistachios, yeast and only low glycemic sweeteners. Without fail, I only then notice how all my recent recipes I wanted to share weren't suitable: a mushroom-walnut pate, veggie spring rolls with a peanut sauce, vegetable noodle salad with peanuts, the banana in my acai bowl or the maple syrup in my salad dressing. Then I started to second guess myself, is miso ok? What about almonds? Ricki's upcoming cookbook will help delineate this, along with new mouth-watering recipes and I cannot wait to read it. Until then, I decided to share what I know best: a hearty salad. ACD-friendly. I crafted a fun twist with spring's new bounty of asparagus. I paired it with edamame for some additional protein and toasted almonds for crunch and drizzled it with a miso-lime vinaigrette. Jump over to her blog to check out the recipe here.
Roasted Broccoli and Quinoa Salad with Quick-Pickled Raisins
Thank you, guys, for pointing out some technical difficulties with my last post. Everything should be working fine now, so don't miss your chance to win a new cookbooks and try out a fabulous recipe for Cuban beer-infused black beans.
Hopefully I haven't beaten roasted cauliflower to death yet as it is my favourite way to eat it. But, have you tried roasting broccoli yet?
Because, this was so revolutionary that a stranger came up to me at a grocery store, as I was picking out a head of broccoli. Have you tried roasting broccoli? OH MY GOSH. SO GOOD!
In my head, I was thinking: Yes, of course, I have tried it. Broccoli is great roasted! While you could just roast the head, I have got you covered with more creative options: a delicious Forty Clove Chickpeas and Broccoli and even atop a Roasted Veggie and Kale Pizza (with a quinoa-bean crust).
But it is true. Roasting broccoli doesn't happen nearly enough. We usually opt to steam it so I decided to roast this newest head. While you can simply roast broccoli with nothing more than a touch of oil with some salt and pepper, I dusted it with curry powder first and then broiled it until it was slightly charred and tender. I then added it to some pan-roasted tomatoes and carrots, quinoa, fresh arugula and toasted cashews topped with the piece de resistance: quick-pickled raisins conferring a salty-sweet-acidy tang, nicely balancing the whole dish. The recipe inspiration came from Joe Yonan's Eat Your Vegetables and his original recipe is for a single serving. This would be way too much work for a single meal, so I doubled it. Furthermore, I recommend doubling it again to last a few more meals as you'll love the mix of flavours.
Have you ever tried roasted broccoli?

Holiday Salad with Cranberry-Orange Vinaigrette
Yesterday, we had a potluck at work. Non-denominational for the holidays, there was an Italian theme. In addition, the organizer reminded us of some food restrictions in our department: nut allergies, no eggs, gluten-free and vegetarian.
My original plan was to bring the vegan cheese log, but figured the vegans would appreciate it more. Indeed, they loved it possibly more than me! Instead of bringing vegetables for the non-vegans, I shared a treat that did not even seem vegan: the very best chocolate truffles! Also, because it met all of the listed dietary restrictions! It is nut-free, egg-free, dairy-free as well as free of artificial sweeteners and flours. It is also (almost) raw. Not quite raw because I use non-raw cocoa powder. I think a few people were scratching their head wondering exactly what was in my truffles since I had such a long list of what was not in them. All yummy, though!
(Of note, I discovered the truffles are super soft after being at room temperature for 3 hours… and I think the best remedy for this would be coat them in a magic shell!!)
I am a bit behind on my potlucks, though. At our last work potluck, celebrating Thanksgiving, I did represent the veggies with this salad. We have made this holiday-inspired ruby red dressing a few times after Emma suggested it. It adds a gorgeous colour to your salad and the delicious sweet-tart cranberries in the dressing is balanced by orange juice and maple syrup.
Pictures here with lettuce, dried cranberries, pecans and pumpkin seeds, I find it pairs amazing with brown rice or curried chickpeas to make a complete meal. Apples and cucumbers make a nice contrast, too.
I asked Rob to take photos and he told me he wanted to highlight the pretty red dressing by drizzling it in fun patterns overtop the salad. It was a bit challenging with a spoon. He may have picked up on my hint that squeeze bottles would make a nice gift (and under $5!). In actuality, he told me we already had squeeze bottles: I just need to finish the agave nectar. Not too hard after I made 3 batches of the best truffles ever within the past week. ;)
Would you have gone with the salad or chocolate?? (Or both?)
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and to this month's Feel Good Food challenge for cranberries.
Maple-Dijon Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad with Pecans and Cranberries & Cookbook Giveaway!
While I prefer Brussels sprouts roasted, I also like them slipped into scrambles, skillets, stir fries, pastas, soups and salads. The last on my bucket list (I think) was to try them raw, shredded into a slaw.
Raw versus cooked. Talk about something new. Now the endearing term "little cabbage" comes to light. Shredded Brussels sprouts let their true Brassica family roots shine through, with a definite cabbage undertone. Here it is paired with a sweet maple Dijon mustard dressing with sweet dried cranberries and local Southern pecans for some crunch.
Not sure whether raw Brussels sprouts are for you? I am certain this would be delightful with roasted ones, as well. Sometimes, it is nice not to wait for your vegetables to roast or to try something different. Something a bit lighter in spite of its wintery feel.
This salad is courtesy of Raw & Simple, which I verily enjoyed (un)cooking through this summer, amid Houston's hot heat. Judita has written a cookbook with easy, tasty recipes without the fuss of complicated raw show-stoppers. Some delicacies are included, too, though. She incorporates a few non-raw ingredients like maple syrup, as evidenced by this recipe. I recommend her simple Raw Chunky Tomato Marinara with zucchini noodles, Calexico Salad, Five-Pepper Vegetable Chili, and still want to try her Southwest Corn Chowder, Healthy Mary (a spin off a Bloody Mary), Thai Veggie Noodles, Raw Meat and Cheese Pierogies and her Wild Blueberry Meyer Lemon Cheesecake.
A few typos aside, I really enjoy this cookbook and want to share it with you.Thankfully the publisher is letting me give a cookbook to one reader living in the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom (YES!). To be entered, please leave a comment here, telling me which recipe you'd like to try the most (or if you have a recipe from Judita that you recommend). Have a look through the table of contents of Raw & Simple on amazon (or my list below) or pick something from her blog and tell me what you want to cook the most. I will randomly select a winner on November 30, 2013. Good luck!

Indian-Spiced Baked Onions with Cumin-Dill Quinoa (& Cookbook Giveaway)
See below if you are interested in a giveaway for The Ayurvedic Vegan Kitchen.
There is one problem with our weekly cronut ride: it gives us flat tires. Since we began cycling to Pearland, Rob and I have had 3-4 flat tires between to two of us. Usually it is a slow-leaking flat and we figure it out right as we want to leave the next day. However this time, it was a nice bloat out en route. There is a lot of debris on the road, but I am still boggled how Rob managed to catch a whole 1″ screw into his rear tire. I saw it happen, too. First there was a funny noisy rumble over a section of pavement, followed by a sharp whizzing noise…. 50 ft later, Rob's tire is sagging. I have a photo just to show you how ludicrous it was… (For the record, Rob was not amused enough to take a photo of the screw once we managed to evacuate it.. he just wanted to fix his bike).
Yes, we were screwed. We usually have to hunt to find the culprit for a leak, but this instigator was easy to spot. When my Dad saw the photo, he exclaimed: "How the H*** did that get in there?" Precise positioning?Anyways,
weRob replaced the tube but we decided to return home sooner rather than later with the sad-looking tire. Turns out it was a good decision since 10 minutes after we arrived home, we were pummelled with rain. Best to stay indoors as the rain comes down so hard.
Turns out that while writing my round-up of my favourite Brussels sprout recipes, I was reminded of my Ayurvedic kick last winter. I am currently on a dill-kick and decided to make Ayurvedic Herbed Quinoa (instead of millet) with Fried Soup Onions, which I rechristened as Indian-Spiced Baked Onions with Cumin-Dill Quinoa.
This is a simple yet somewhat elaborate quinoa pilaf salad spiced with cumin and dill. Leave it at that, and it would a pretty simple side salad. However, the suggested Indian-spiced baked onions make this a special treat. I don't know about you, but I love roasted vegetables and really like somewhat charred roasted onions. I always have onions on hand and it takes next to no effort to add them to a pan to roast. However, these are more than simple roasted onions. A quick saute with cumin, fennel and mustard seeds transforms them into a veritable Indian party. The flavours are not overtop, rather muted with a colourful background. There are so many different spices once added to the dilly cumin quinoa, but it all works. Really well. The recipe is from The Ayurvedic Vegan Kitchen which I have mentioned before. Talya recommended pairing the salad with a Creamy Cucumber-Tahini Dressing but I felt it overpowered all the tastes in the salad, so I left it out.
After discovering the cookbook at my library last year, I bought my own copy before my move. It was actually my first e-cookbook and I really appreciated its portability (books are heavy!). It is a great resource for those wanting to learn more about Ayurveda, but most importantly the recipes are whole foods-, plant-based and taste great. If you like Indian flavours, this will definitely appeal to you but the range of recipes is quite vast (thankful pie, perfect spring soup, creamy miso lentils, magical 'mato lasagna, quinoa pancakes and even breakfast greens!). There are still so many recipes I want to try.
Other recipes from The Ayurvedic Vegan Kitchen, here and elsewhere:
Butternut Squash Crusted Pizza
Better Than Chicken Soup (Miso Curry Squash and Chickpea Soup)
Indian Sprouted Mung Bean Stew with Greens
Ayurvedic Winter Vegetable Stew with Adzuki Beans
I am beyond thrilled that the publisher has agreed to let me share this recipe AND sponsor a giveaway for The Ayurvedic Vegan Kitchen. They are giving away one (paperback) copy to a reader from the US (sorry my international friends). To be entered, please leave a comment here, letting me know whether you've heard of Ayurveda before (and if so, what do you think of it?). I will randomly select a winner on October 15, 2013. Good luck!

Kale Salad with a Raw Thousand Island Dressing
While we planned our trip to Burning Man half a year in advance, it wasn't until we bought our plane tickets that we decided to tack on a side trip to Portland and then roadtrip it down to the desert. Rob was worried that I wouldn't like the extreme nature of the camping we'd have to do in the desert, so we planned for success. How could we not enjoy Portland?
Turns out that each part of the trip was better than the next. After Portland, we drove East through the Columbia River Gorge, stopping at the Hydro Dam and Multnomah Falls. The path to the top of the falls may only be 1.25 miles long, but you are basically going up and up. Kind of like Mother Nature's Stairmaster. There was a 700ft elevation. It was a fun but tiring jaunt! If I lived in Portland, I could see this as a fun fitness bench marker (similar to the Grouse Grind in Vancouver, which I have yet to do). How fast can you climb the falls?
The following day, we skirted along the gorge, through the Hood River Fruit Loop and stopped to pick up local sweet peaches and huckleberries (it was my first time trying them – they are similar to a tart wild blueberry).
Our next stop was the Smith Rock State Park. Since it took us a good 3 hours to get here, it was too late to begin the Misery Ridge trail. Because of the heat and lack of shade, you should begin this early in the day. In any case, we didn't bring our hiking boots with us, so we had already planned to do smaller hikes and watch some of the mountain climbers.
Our next destination was the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Billed as the best lava park between Iceland and Hawaii, we had fun walking around the volcanic crater and the lava field below. To be honest, I didn't even know there were volcanoes on the continental US. We didn't have enough time to explore the lava tubes, but we will definitely be back.
The next day, we scheduled a whole day for Crater Lake National Park. You can drive around the lake and stop off for lots of smaller hikes. We hiked up to a great lookout, again on another side, to see some hoodoos, and some waterfalls. It was nice to get a variety of vistas from each hike.
The trip through Oregon was fabulous. I highly recommend it.
But I know you are here for the food. You see, we stocked up a bit with food from Portland. I wasn't sure what lurked in the smaller towns. Turns out we lucked out in Bend, Oregon. We found a local brew pub (Rob's mission was to try out local brews) that served vegan eats. I changed the tempeh reuben sandwich into a salad and I was blown away. It was really good. I haven't had enough time to recreate the entire salad (now on my bucket list) but I started with making a raw thousand island dressing.
Originating from the Thousand Islands region (hola Ontario!), thousand island dressing is probably one of the most ubiquitous North American creamy sauces, as a mayonnaise dressing spiced with tomato/ketchup but may also have bits of pickle, olives, etc.
The creaminess of my raw version of dressing is from cashews. The deep tomato flavour comes from sun-dried tomatoes. Garlic and onion add further ripples, while the vinegar brightens the dressing. The acidic dill pickle brings this up a notch. The only trick is that the cashews need to be soaked a few hours for easier blending.
For my salad, I just used up the random vegetables in my fridge. I first wilted the kale with lemon juice and then tossed in cucumber, red pepper, olives and hemp seeds. I am not sure they were the perfect combination (and not the prettiest salad, either) but the dressing was perfect. Now I know where to start with my own tempeh reuben salad. :)
In any case, this vacation has spurred my love of Oregon. I am even more excited to try to schedule in Cycle Oregon next year!

Peach & Hazelnut Kale Salad with Maple Miso Vinaigrette
After so many people recommended Meetup a few weeks ago, I have really been making an effort to get out and meet new people and experience new things. I like the Houston meetups so far because they don't fill up so fast. I often tried to sign up for Toronto meetups but they would fill up before I knew whether I could commit to the event. Houston also has quite a variety of groups. Since there are so many groups, it has become interesting to see which of my "interests" has people with which I click the most.
My blog is mostly about healthy vegan food, so I picked a raw vegan potluck as my first foray into social gathering.
The meeting was tucked at the top of Central Market, with a pretty view of the colourful aisles of groceries. However, the most beautiful produce was upstairs, in our room. The spread of delicious food was incredible. Foodie heaven! Lots and lots of salads. Some were more simple and others more elaborate. A lot of classic raw dishes, too: raw zucchini spaghetti with marinara, raw walnut tacos, guacamole and lots of delicious raw crackers. Zucchini pesto roll-ups were unique (and very good). I honestly thought there would be more desserts, but the two that were there were incredible: raw peach cobbler and superfood nut butter cups (I recognized Sarah's recipe).
I had master plans to bring Genevieve's raw tropical jicama nachos but when I went to assemble the dish after work, my pineapple was not ripe enough and my peaches were screaming: eat me NOW! So, at the last minute, I ended up making this salad. It passed the taste-test with flying colours, and off I ran.
As we each introduced the meal we brought, I felt a bit sheepish because I ended up picking a dressing with maple syrup, which is technically not raw. This is not a problem for me, and I think most people still tried it because there wasn't much left by the end of the night. In any case, I thought it was delicious. I usually eat my kale salads with a citrus dressing, but the maple-miso dressing worked really well with the sweet peaches, earthy kale and crunchy hazelnuts. It would be perfect for picnics, too.
Have you ever been to Meetups in your city?

Hempy Peach Salad with a Creamy Balsamic Hummus Dressing
Going to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches… Millions of peaches, peaches for me. {sing along here}
I swear, I wasn't planning to share so many salads.
But to combat salad ennuis, I kept mixing up new dressings. I didn't think it would be so spectacular, but I loved it. And then snapped away some quickie photos for you to enjoy the sights of my salad, too.
Fresh, flavourful ingredients are important for a salad; but like pasta is to sauce, salad can be a vector for dressing.
A simple go-to dressing. With hummus on hand, this is so easy to put together. Hummus, balsamic and mustard. I always taste-test the dressing, but this one was hard to read. As I said, I didn't really think I'd like it; it seemed too tart. Drizzled next to the sweet peaches, though, it all balanced out.
And to finish off my meal? Carrots with the hummus that didn't make it into the dressing. ;)

Beware of the ghosts and goblins on the roads
Beware of the ghosts and goblins on the roads
Halloween is right around the corner- tomorrow in fact- and young children will be hitting the streets to gather the bounty of candy.
Drivers need to slow down and keep their eye on the roadway. Turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distance. Remember at 30mph you have a fifty-fifty chance of killing the person you hit. When your speed increases to 40mph you have an 85 percent chance of killing the person you hit. On average, twice as many child pedestrians are killed while walking on Halloween compared to other days of the year.
Only one-third of parents speak to their kids annually about Halloween, however three-fourths report having Halloween safety fears. Parents need to review everyday basic safety tips with their children—such as: look both ways before crossing the street (left, right, left), never talk to strangers or get in their car and do not enter a house where you do not know the people. They should stay I populated places and not go off the beaten path. Plan a safe route so you will know where your older kids will be. Set a time for their return home. Make sure children are old enough and responsible enough to go out by themselves. Younger children should always be accompanied by an adult.
To make it a safe Halloween, the Lee Memorial Trauma Center, Safe Kids Lee/Collier Counties, and Lee County Injury Prevention Coalition have compiled these safety tips:
■ Young children should always go trick or treating with an adult
■ Put electronic devices down and keep heads up
■ Halloween costumes should be light colored or have reflective tape on the front and back. This is to ensure that drivers can see the child.
■ It is best to use face paint instead of a mask, which can obstruct a child's vision . Halloween masks should have large eyeholes to ensure proper vision.
■ Keep away from open flames and candles (costumes can be extremely flammable)
■ Walk on sidewalks, not in the street
■ Don't walk across the grass, but use the walk way to the front door
■ Plan your route and share it with your family
■ Visit homes that have the porch light on
■ Carry a flashlight or glow sticks to be more visible. While glow sticks are good for visibility, remember the liquid in glow sticks is also hazardous.
■ Carry a white bag for your candy or a bag with reflective tape on it.
■ Do not ride a bicycle. Your costume could get caught in it
■ Eat only wrapped candy, and nothing that is homemade or fruit
■ Never eat anything before your parents have had a chance to examine all your treats
■ Never pick up candies from the street. They might be poisoned candies or treats of another child. So, don't touch them
■ Do not run in your costume, you could trip and hurt yourself
Have a safe and happy Halloween!

CI's Amanda Quintero Elected Vice President of the Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institution Educators
Camarillo, Calif., May 22, 2014 – Amanda Quintero, Director of Hispanic Serving Institution Initiatives at CSU Channel Islands (CI), has been elected Vice President of the Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institution Educators (AHSIE). The Alliance supports the work of the nation's more than 300 Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) as they seek to provide educational opportunities to the growing numbers of Hispanic and underserved students.
A first-generation college graduate, Quintero is a powerful advocate and promoter of opportunities for underrepresented student populations in higher education. During her ten-year career at CI, she has been the recipient of the El Concilio Latino Leadership Award (2013), CI Multicultural Programs Women's Leadership Award (2012) and the Pacific Coast Business Times 40 under 40 Award (2005) and has served as the Interim Associate Vice President for Research & Sponsored Programs, Interim Director of the Office of Service Learning, Title V Project Director, and Director for Research & Sponsored Programs.
Through Quintero's efforts, CI has secured more than $12.7 million in funding for Hispanic-Serving Institution Initiatives (Projects ISLAS, Vista, ACCESO, and ASCENSION) benefiting more than 3,000 students in Ventura County including CI students of all ethnicities, high schools students, and community college students. Prior to joining CI, Quintero was the Coordinator of AmeriCorps Programs for the CSU Chancellor's Office of Community Service Learning and previously in the California Capital Fellows Program serving as an Executive Fellow under the former Gray Davis Administration.
In June 2014, Quintero will earn her Ph.D. in Education with an emphasis in higher education policy at Claremont Graduate University. She holds a master's degree in Public Policy and Administration from CSU Long Beach and a bachelor's degree in Global Studies from CSU Monterey Bay.
She was elected during AHSIE's Sixth Annual Best Practices Conference, held March 16-19 at the University of La Verne, with more than 350 members in attendance. In addition to her role as Vice President, Quintero formerly served as a co-chair of the Alliance's Federal Relations Committee and Conference Planning Committee.
"I am passionate about overcoming barriers to higher education for underrepresented students and shifting institutional culture, policies and practices to support their success," she said. "As a daughter of immigrant parents and a former low-income, first-generation college student, I understand the obstacles that these students face to obtaining a college degree and the value that they can return to their communities as educated leaders. It's my passion and privilege to help students find a supportive and encouraging environment for fulfilling their dreams at CI."
CI is one of only 10 percent of institutions in the U.S. to earn the HSI designation, meaning it has a full-time undergraduate population that is at least 25 percent Hispanic. Though HSIs constitute only one-tenth of the nation's colleges, they enroll more than half of all Hispanic students, making them critically important to the nation's future and economy. AHSIE was formed in 2011 as a way to support the growing number of HSIs seeking to share information and best practices, maximize grant funding, and provide quality, relevant educational opportunities to underserved Hispanic student populations.
"Being elected Vice President of AHSIE is a huge accomplishment for Amanda and another asset she has brought to CI," said Karen Carey, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, Arts & Sciences at CI. "Amanda has delivered significant resources to campus through her excellent grant-writing skills, resulting in numerous opportunities for students that they would not have otherwise been exposed to."

Mojitos on the beach?
I enjoy travel immensely and have so far been to 9 countries and 10 US states. I am a military brat and have been very lucky to have lived in quite a few of those. One of my favorite places is the Dominican Republic; and nothing is better than a fine cigar, presidente in hand and on Cabarete beach. Additionally I have fallen in love with the rolling hills of Ireland and the rivers of Scotland and I hope to be back soon. I LOVE to dance! Salsa, bachata,merengue and kizomba are aome of my favorites and I attend dance socials weekly both to improve my technique and to network. *I would love to meet someone who loves to dance or is at least willing to learn. I have my black belt in American Tang Soo Do and practiced martial arts from the age of 5 up until about three years ago when a spinal injury knocked me out of it. I still practice a much lower impact and non competitive version. I still like to stay active in the maetial arts community even though im not able to compete anymore. I am an not an adrenaline junkie per say but I'll try just about any "once in a lifetime" experience you throw at me. Bungie jump, free fall, zip lining through a jungle, rappelling a castle tower in Wales, rappelling 27 waterfalls in the dominican jungle, white water rafting in DR, Scotland and Colorado, cliff Diving, free diving ( currently only to 25 feet underwater) just to name a few that I've already experienced. Please write me if you are interested, and I'll respond if I feel the same. Thank you for looking through my profile. Maricela

Today's Courant says that there could be as many as 330,000 people with assault weapons who refused to register them according to the law [Feb. 11, Page 1, "Thousands Ignore Law On Gun Registration"]. Then now is the time to increase the penalty and start rounding them up.
At the first sign that someone has an illegal weapon , they should be immediately tried and imprisoned. These are the people we must be worried and concerned about -- the ones who need to keep their ownership secret.

Jose Flores had two hits and drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning for the Augusta GreenJackets as they edged the Charleston RiverDogs, 7-6, in South Atlantic League action at Riley Park with 5,073 in attendance on Saturday night.
Charleston (62-59, 23-31) immediately grabbed the early lead with two first-inning runs. Ben Gamel reached on an error and Cito Culver singled and stole second to put men on second and third. A groundout by Dante Bichette, Jr. brought in one run and a sacrifice fly by Saxon Butler then scored Culver.
In the third, Augusta (60-63, 28-26) came back to tie the game against starter Brett Gerritse. With two on and one out, a wild pitch by Gerritse brought in one run. Later in the frame with the bases loaded, Joe Staley worked a walk to force in the tying run.
Francisco Arcia reclaimed the lead for the RiverDogs in the fourth with an RBI single to right that scored Butler. Ali Castillo made the score 4-2 the next inning when he doubled and scored on an error.
After five innings from Gerritse, reliever Melvin Mercedes was entrusted with holding the lead and threw scoreless ball in the sixth and seventh. Culver then added to Charlestons lead with an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh.
With Mercedes (0-1) still on the mound in the eighth, the GreenJackets again staged a rally for a 7-5 lead.
Arcia brought the RiverDogs to within 7-6 with another RBI single off DeMondre Arnold in the eighth, but they couldnt come up with the tying run.
Chris Marlowe got the final five outs for his second save.
The four-game series ends today when the RiverDogs will send RHP Philip Wetherell (5-7, 6.52 ERA) up against RHP Kyle Crick (5-6, 2.39 ERA) at 5:05 p.m.
The Inflatamaniacs will return after their performance at the SAL All-Star Game in Charleston in June. It will be the final Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission and Crews Subaru Family Sunday of the year. As always, the day will include Free Parking and Kids Eat Free, sponsored by Pepsi. Fans will have their last chance for a pregame catch on the field, reading with a RiverDog and a postgame autograph session with the entire team.

I know this question has been asked before because frankly I think I've read a hundred different answers, but I'm having trouble finding a solution specific to my theme and it's actually getting to the point of driving me nuts.
What I need to do is remove or hide the "Home" title from showing up on my static front page whilst keeping it within the main navigation.
I have recently switched from the Weaver theme to Wallow and this is where the problem stemed from. My knowledge of coding is limited at best so could you please go easy. After scouring my style.css, index.php, header.php I can't really find anything close to what people have been suggesting but I'm just wondering if there might be a change made within the page.php that could help. This snippet here looks like something I might need to alter.... I hope.
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( array( 150,150 ), array( 'class' => 'alignleft' ) ); ?>
<h3 class="s">" rel="bookmark">
$post_title = the_title_attribute('echo=0');
if (!$post_title) { _e( '', 'home' ); } else { echo $post_title; } ;
Any suggestions would really be appreciated, It's probably a 1 minute job for someone who knows what they're doing but I'm all out of things to try! Thanks in advance and hopefully someone can rid me of this pesky title. Cheers!

Yusef Ali
MEMPHIS, TN (localmemphis.com) -- Family and friends have a murdered convenience store owner have bonded together to raise $10,000, hoping more reward money leads to more clues in his murder.
"We feel alone. Heartbroken. Very hard time," said Juweria Egal.
Egal's husband, Yusef Ali, 53, was found on August 25th inside the Fuel Express gas station he ran at 2389 Summer Avenue. Ali had been shot to death.
"I am feeling sad and gloomy," said Ahmed Ali, Ali's son. "If you know who done it, then a mystery will be solved and we don't have to think about who done it all day long."
Ali and Egal, who have been married for 19 years, moved to Memphis from Somalia in 1995.
"He is very hard worker, he is a nice man, he is very kind. He is gentle," said Egal.
Egal says her husband never felt in danger at work. His murder, a surprise to everyone.
"People say that area is not very danger, and my husband is friend for everybody, he never think something happen to him," Egal said.
The family's grief is compounded by the fact they're left with nothing. Several weeks after Ali's murder, his business partner was arrested and charged with arson. Police say he set the gas station on fire.
As for Ali's murder, police say they have no suspects, and no motive.
Ali's family and friends have raised $10,000 in award money. CrimeStoppers is offering an additional $1,000 bringing the total reward to $11,000. Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 528-CASH.
"I am feeling horrible, I feel so sad," said Bushra Ali, Ali's daughter. "We really want to catch the killer and get justice."

Beyond Java
I just finished the new book from Bruce Tate: Beyond Java, published by O'Reilly. For the record, I'm a big fan - I really enjoyed his Bitter Java. And while Beyond Java is well worth your time and money, it is important to realize the book has some limitations. Tate acknowledges these himself; this is from page 177:
Of course, the whole premise of this book is arrogant beyond belief. I'm making an incredible number of assumptions and drawing some aggressive conclusions based on little more than a couple of dozen interviews, a keen sense of intuition, and a few massive piles of circumstancial evidence.
The bigger limitation to keep in mind, though, is that Tate's conclusions may not apply to you. This is from page 43: "I'd guess that as many as half of all commercial applications involve a web frontend that baby-sits a plain old relational database." I don't necessarily disagree with his guess, but here's the key thing to understand: Tate makes his living building those sorts of applications. So when he describes the pain that Java forces him to endure in order to build systems for his clients, you have to ask yourself: "Does this apply to me?"
It appears that in Tate's view, most Java developers are like him: building web front ends that do create/read/update/delete operations on a relational database, with perhaps some additional business logic. And while I don't dispute that a large proportion of Java developers are building those sorts of applications, not everyone makes their living that way.
His central point is that Java has drifted away from serving the needs of developers such as himself. The addition of enterprise features and frameworks has added complexity that is not needed by the majority of applications and therefore just ends up making developers less productive. It is important to note that he disdains the use of Java for rich client applications. Also of note is that development of mobile applications gets very little mention in the book.
Regardless of what type of Java development you do, though, the book is still a good read. Tate points out several problems with the current world of Java. Coupled with the emergence of new languages and their attendant frameworks (e.g. Ruby on Rails) it only makes sense to ask if there's a better way than Java. The most interesting parts of the book are the chapters that look at those alternatives.
I spotted only a few typos in the text - certainly below average for a book like this. The only real annoyance is the repetition. The quote I used above from page 43 is repeated in similar form several times throughout the book. More grating, though, is that a lot of the information about alternatives in chapter 5 is repeated in chapter 9. The best example is that the sample PHP source code on page 173 is identical to the source code example on page 92. Kind of ironic for a guy who espouses "don't repeat yourself." :-)
Those flaws are worth overlooking though if this book causes you to question your assumptions. Exposure to new ideas is usually healthy.
