Great chair ideas for your patio
A patio is undoubtedly an extension of your home. It allows you an incredible place where you can enjoy the beauty of nature while basking in the sun. It provides a great space to spend some lighter moments with families and friends.
A variety of patio furniture is available on the market these days. However, there is nothing to beat the elegance and versatility of wrought iron furniture. Besides, iron is probably the most durable material that can withstand all sorts of weather elements Popularly used for outdoor furniture, wrought iron can serve you in classic Victorian or contemporary modern designs.
Here are some iron chairs you can decorate your patio with.
The Antalya Cradle. The Antalya chair has a round seat rested on iron legs. It looks like a round cradle. Its appealing design is irresistible and many will certainly try out the chair.
The Bolivia Chair. This is a light weight furniture that you can move around or store away with much ease.
The Fabion Look. A great feature of this is that it can be bent into many different shapes and forms to give you optimum comfort.
Half Moon Chair. This unique and exclusive half moon design has a pair of half moons as the back support.
The Memori Design. The Memori has its design more or less like the Fabion. Though it looks stouter, but has a broader seat. The design looks more elaborate and is fuller.
You can make your iron patio furniture look more elegant by adding cushions on it. You can go for full cushions to cover the back and the seat or two pieces sets that attach individually. Bench cushions are a great way to make hard benches comfortable. Everyone loves being able to spend time on their patio but only if they are comfortable. Bench cushions do just this, make them comfortable!
New chair and bench cushions will surely give your patio an enhanced look. Enjoy your day watching your kids run around. Alternatively, plan to invite your neighbors over for a barbeque and give a nice kick off to the season!

From Morgan County to Russell County, multiple tornadoes appear to have touched down in Kentucky. Officials in West Liberty reported several buildings damaged, the most serious a carpet store, which suffered extensive structural damage.

Of all the wine growing regions of the United States, California has the richest history, though certainly still modest by the standards of Europe.
For most of the wine-drinking world, wine is much more than a beverage. It is bound up in history and tradition.
The first plantings of wine vines (the lowly Mission grape) in California came at the hands of Spanish Jesuits in about 1770--some half-dozen years before those 13 colonies on the other side of the continent banded together to demand independence from Britain.
It was the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848 that caused grapevine plantings in California to explode as winemakers did their best to satisfy tens of thousands of prospectors infected with both gold fever and a powerful thirst.
It wasn't long, however, before troubles set in.
By the 1890s, a nasty insect (phylloxera) had infested California's vineyards (and indeed, the vineyards of most of the world) putting a big hurt on the industry. A couple decades later, Prohibition finished the job that phylloxera started, killing off the weakened industry almost entirely.
With Prohibition, California winemakers were finished. Grape growers often found ingenious ways to skirt the letter of the law--selling grape juice to individuals along with packets of yeast and explicit instructions on how to keep the two ingredients apart lest combined they turn into wine. Unfortunately, the thick-skinned grapes they planted were designed to endure bouncy train trips East, not to taste particularly good as wine. These sad homemade wines could only tarnish California's image as a legitimate winemaking state after Prohibition's repeal in 1933.
Recovery from Prohibition was a long, slow journey. Quality grapes had been replaced by sturdy grapes built for travel, wineries had closed down, equipment was in disrepair. It was a mess. Public tastes were not up to snuff either: wine had become more associated with winos than epicureans. As a result, most of the wines in the first decades after Prohibition were sickly sweet or fortified. It wasn't until the 1970s that Americans began to catch on to wine as an enjoyable and important mealtime companion. By then, varietals like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot had been planted in California vineyards and wine makers had done away with the unfortunate habit of calling California wines "burgundy" or "chablis" (generic labels designating nothing other than that one was red, one was white) in favor of varietal labeling. Now wines would be labeled according to the grapes that were in the bottle.
California knew it had arrived on the world wine scene in 1976, when California wines went head to head against the best French wines in a blind tasting held in Paris. California wines were judged best in both red and white categories. With that, California wine was back on the map.
Since then, quality has continued to improve as grape growers identify the best spots to grow their grapes and winemakers increase their skills in the cellars. Demand for California wine continues to rise as Americans learn of the health benefits increasingly associated with moderate wine drinking.
Today, 9 of every 10 bottles produced in America come from California wineries. And the industry itself is a major tourist attraction, drawing some 14.5 million tourists every year, making it the second largest tourist attraction in California, bigger than Hollywood and second only to Disneyland.

Manganaro's Old World Italian
Sal runs Manganaro's on 8th near 40th, one of the oldest Italian delis in New York. This joint just oozes character, from the room temperature cheese and yummy cookies Sal sells, to the hearty and enormous servings of pasta, prosciutto, meatballs and sauce that serve as Manganaro's staples.
Next door to Sals is another Manganaro where they make a famous six foot long hero sandwich. For years the two families didn't speak --- over rights to that famous triple decker -- but they've recently buried the hatchet and patched up the family. Good eats! See Brooks Lost City for more on those fabulous, feudin' Manganaros.

I will definitely have to pay the place a visit. The description alone makes me salivate.
One of my best friend is Italian and his wife doesn't speak to her mother and her mother doesn't speak to her own mother either. But the wife speaks to her grandmother.
I have been to their Christmas party and it is ONE awkward situation. The men in the family get along nicely. :-)

Hi from South Shields, nice picture you have here today. You just don't find many places like this in the uk.
I need your support, see my latest post at South Shields Daily Photo

No shot. Total bull. They still can't stand each other. I live around the corner and am good friends with Sal and his daughters.
Too many years of bad blood and courtroom wars (30+).

The tin ceiling catches my eye, and takes me back to Pittsburgh where I am from, and the cafe's and stores with tin ceilings. I remember the cheeses hanging in the stores and the smells, too.
Nothing like the east coast!
That house is beautiful, wonder why she won't let anyone touch it? Mc Mansions, yes, someone built one right next to us, looks down into our yard, terrible things, tasteless.
I wonder if anyone ever felt that way about these victorian homes? I had one myself at one time.
Well, at least they were quality.
Nice photos...

These old houses (1892) were built on big lots so you couldn't very well see into your neighbor's nostrils like they build them today.
I did see the "family" preparing to inhabit the McMansion across the street from this jewel: two graying yuppies and their dogs. And the house is gigantic. Hedge fund money perhaps?

Ming the Merciless, hah..why is it men who make war, but women who never talk to each other in family situations? lol
Wonder why we're in so much trouble globally?
Ken Mac, well I think it boils down to poor taste..another neighborhood home is done nicely, fits in with the neighborhood, is unobtrusive, tasteful, and we won't dislike each other, I am sure.
The Russian, [named Egor incidentally] who built the McMansion that is breathing down my neck won't be. He even offered to cut my trees to accommodate 'his' view of the Sound, Nice huh?
So now I have to plant some giant Western red cedars to grow 6 ft a year to get my privacy back.
There goes much of his view anyway..
They cut down a willow that was the hugest willow I have ever seen in the lot next door ( that it was subdivided from) for their view, This tree protected me from other eyes on the hill above, and since there is a spring the water level was raised and I had flooding.
The house is an eye sore, orange as a pumpkin,.
I don't even like going into my backyard anymore.
grrr, ok, I'm better now... got my daily growl out...!
Thanks!! lol

The initiative aims to bridge the gap between training/graduation and a first commission by offering Scottish-based filmmakers the opportunity to work closely with Scottish Documentary Institute and make 10 minute documentaries.
Someone once said 'Diversity is the art of thinking independently together.'
For our 12th edition of Bridging the Gap, we are looking for visual and quirky, character-led stories, inspired by situations where differences and diversity are seen as sources of strength and inspiration.
10 ideas will be short-listed on the basis of the proposal and supporting materials. In the following weeks they will be developed and honed further through weekend workshops run by international filmmakers and leading industry professionals. The 10 projects will then be pitched to a panel of experts, who will commission the final 4 films.
As well as a cash budget of 8K (plus in-kind production and distribution support) the 4 selected filmmakers will receive further training and mentoring over six months to create vibrant new stories. The films are intended for distribution in cinemas and festivals and to be delivered by May 2015.
Deadline for applications = Friday 10th October (12noon)
The selected projects will be announced on the 13th of October
You must be Scottish-based to be eligible for Bridging the Gap.
We are especially interested in filmmakers from diverse and under-represented backgrounds.
We cannot accept applications from students in full time education.
Short-listed participants are expected to attend a series of compulsory workshops (see our Guidelines & Information for all relevant dates): please note that the first workshop will take place on Sat 18th & Sun 19th October 2014
The Commissioning Pitch will take place on Tuesday 2nd December 2014.
The films are expected to be delivered by May 2015.
All workshops will take place in Edinburgh, at the Edinburgh College of Art (University of Edinburgh), home of the Scottish Documentary Institute.
Application and participation to Bridging the Gap are free.
For any further question, please email email@example.com
Bridging the Gap is supported by Creative Scotland & the Edinburgh College of Art (University of Edinburgh)

The Canadiens played and lost to the Boston Bruins last night, but that isn't the big news.
The bombshell that was dropped, if you haven't heard by now, is that Habs forward Michael Cammalleri was traded DURING the game. Yes, you read that right. He was traded between the second and third periods and pulled from the ice, destined for the hotel.
I, personally, have never seen or heard of something like this happening before.
But considering how surreal most of this season has been for the Canadiens, I think this move is just more of the same.
I'll post my analysis of the trade shortly but suffice it to say that I think Habs GM Pierre Gauthier is just getting started.

Try the browser back button, for example, if you have gone down the load more path you have to start over. If your eye site is not all it could be and you use "bigger" page images the right side gets cut off. The organization is poor and somehow it even makes some of the keys act strangely.

The new web site still can't help The P-S get the story straight. What about the shots fired incident at Drivers Village? What was a city cop doing in Clay and becoming involved with a shooting?
And the new web site is very poorly designed.
Ms. Miller has most of her facts wrong and her far-left opinion is not helping the problem.
If the long gun that was the shooter's weapon of choice had not jammed (because the "over-sized" clip was junk not made in America) then he may not have ever used a handgun and would have probably killed many more people. Colorado has very strict handgun laws and they did not prevent what happened.
For the record. I do not belong to the NRA and I object to getting robo-calls from them. The only gun I own is a hand-me-down shotgun that is plugged to only hold three shells, NY law by the way.

Well, the local friend had slipped a decimal point and all we got was a bent prop. Our plan was more in keeping with the traditional architecture of the area however. Oh, well.

Full detailed profile on Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald (Past) Played by Adrian Bellani on Passions Daytime Soap Opera.
Adrian Bellani
Birthday: 1982-04-08
Sitting in Tabitha's parlor, Miguel is second guessing himself about Fox's terminal illness. He can't understand why Fox would subject himself to such brutal treatments unless he was really ill. Besides that, maybe he made an honest mistake when he accused him of being the hit-and-run driver. 'Crane's don't make honest mistake,' Tabitha says before Endora reminds her that she is a Crane. Tired of waiting for Kay, Miguel wants to go up and check on her, but Tabitha tells him to wait. He walks upstairs instead. Tabitha tells Endora that Miguel is right: Fox will lose Kay whether he's sick or not. Endora isn't about to let that happen. Tabitha starts pacing around the room, excited to be going to a funeral. Endora doesn't know how they can go inside the church when they're witches. Tabitha says that they'll hang around outside, but Endora wants to hear the speeches. Tabitha gives a mock eulogy and assures her daughter that she won't miss anything. As she begins to laugh, she tells her daughter about going to a funeral with her mother where her mother got the corpse to jump up in the middle of the service.
Upstairs, Kay can't understand why Fox isn't impotent. After a moment of thought, she gets an idea about what he must have done: He must have popped one of those 'little blue pills.' He stutters a 'yes' and she agrees to make love to him as long as he doesn't over exert himself. Afterwards, Fox says that making love to his beautiful wife is the best medicine, even if it tires him out. Miguel knocks on the door and walks in to remind them of the funeral. He tries to look away from what he's walked in on, but he doesn't know what to think after seeing them in bed together. Kay goes to get dressed and Fox calls Julian to ask him what is going on: How can he make love to his wife and be losing his hair? Picking up a piece of hair, he turns around to see Miguel standing behind him. Kay re-appears and goes to kiss Fox goodbye when he tells her to wait a minute while he gets dressed. After he kisses her, Miguel grimaces at the sight and goes downstairs. Fox and Kay soon follow, but, by the time Fox reaches the living room, he drops onto the floor.
Downstairs, Miguel is making faces at the girls while Tabitha makes breakfast. As he cuts up a banana, he admits that he doesn't think Fox is faking now that his hair is falling out. These side effects are too bad to be faking. Endora warns her mother not to say anything, but Tabitha feels like the world is turned upside down: She actually wants to tell the truth for once. Miguel doesn't know where he is with Kay anymore. Tabitha starts trying to explain, but Endora zaps her. Endora and Maria start arguing and Tabitha asks for a time out. Suddenly, Tabitha gets an idea. She reminds Miguel about the impersonators. He can't explain it...maybe Julian is behind it. If Fox is telling the truth about everything, she asks, is he telling the truth about him trying to run him down? He insists that he wasn't driving, but now thinks that Fox may have just mistaken someone else for him.
At Tabitha's Kay and Miguel climb out of the shower. He can't stop telling her how much he loves her, but she wavers slightly. Still, she can't lie to herself anymore and has to tell Fox that she can't be with him. Suddenly, Fox calls from the hospital to tell her that he is going stir crazy. He's coming home to see her right now, he announces before hanging up. Miguel says that, if Fox is strong enough to walk, he's strong enough to lose her. They get dressed and Kay wonders how she will break the news to her dying husband. Miguel kisses her and then goes into the closet to hide while she does the deed.
Tabitha is sneaking a peak on Kay and Miguel. She's not happy to see that Fox is talking to her on the phone. After almost spilling her martimi, she runs to the door when she hears Fox returning. She's only glad that Endora is asleep or things could get ugly quick. A horrible looking Fox goes up to see Kay while Miguel gloats to himself that Fox is about to lose everything. After Fox embraces his wife, she backs off. He knows what she wants to tell him and lays down, revealing the fact that his hair is falling out. He tells her that they'll be a happy family until the end. Looking down and the clump of his hair in her hands, he knows that she won't leave him under these conditions. They embrace while Miguel wonders why it's so quiet. Fox leaves to get them something to eat and Miguel pokes his head out. Kay shows him the clump of hair. Miguel doesn't care, but Kay pushes him away. Downstairs, Endora wakes up hungry and asks for a treat. While Tabitha gets her something, Endora becomes more interested in some magical jars, but Tabitha says that she can't touch them: It would cause a catastrophe. Tabitha looks back into her bowl and wishes that Kay would just give Fox some Viagra and a toupee then dump him. Behind her back, Endora calls the glittering magical jar over and opens it up. After the contents float out, Tabitha panics that this may change everything. Running around the room, Tabitha tries to recapture it, but it escapes up the chimney. Endora asks what it was. It was Happiness, Tabitha's been hiding it for generations. Now this burst of bliss could cause untold chaos.
Tabitha watches Kay and Miguel in her bowl. They've been making love non-stop for hours. She hopes that this will keep him away from Charity. Endora wanders in and zaps her mother for what she's doing. She still wants Kay with Fox. Tabitha tells her that not even witches always get what they want and it's too late for Fox. Endora is still defiant and gets her wand out. 'Studilicious has to be kept away from Charity,' Tabitha warns, but it's not sinking in. Endora zaps Kay and Miguel. Tabitha says that she'll have to be punished for this; she's making the dark side angry. Upstairs, Kay and Miguel take a break from their love fest to say how much they love each other. When Kay is suddenly zapped, she jumps away, remembering that she's married. After a time out, Tabitha has to call cupid to get Kay and Miguel back in the sack. Endora zaps him away and Tabitha tries to explain the situation again, but Endora has fallen asleep. Tabitha calls up some hearts and sends them after Kay to fill her with desire for Miguel. Kay is in the shower trying to wash away 'the dirty feeling' when Miguel storms in and the hearts go into Kay's head. She pulls him into the shower and they start making love again. After they get out of the shower, she says that she has to tell Fox the truth now. Being a family with her and Maria is everything that he wants. While they make out on the sink, Tabitha smiles and says that true love can win out with the help of evil.
Kay is putting Maria to bed. How dare Miguel think that they'll be a couple again after everything, she thinks to herself. Meanwhile, Tabitha is happy after putting Endora to bed. She wants a martimi to put a smile on her face. As she makes one up, Miguel mopes into the kitchen. He's pushed Kay too far this time: She doesn't want him back anymore. Tabitha offers him a drink, but he's given up. He wants to leave town, find Charity and ask her to marry him. Flames spout from Tabitha's head. She smells a disaster in the air. She won't let him go anywhere and has to think fast. Kay and a lusty love potion should be able to keep him there and help him forget Charity. After she serves him the potion, he tears open his shirt and starts shouting. He wants to make love to Charity like there's no tomorrow. As he goes for the door, Tabitha has to wrestle him to the ground and try and convince him that he wants Kay. While she is dragging him across the floor, Kay walks downstairs while Miguel bellows about how much he loves Charity. She's glad that she just told him they don't have a future together. Miguel struggles free and Tabitha has to smash him on the head to knock him out. Now she needs to give Kay a potion and fix things. She gears into super speed and drugs Kay who instantly pulls of her shirt and starts looking for a man. After locking her in her room, Tabitha runs downstairs and drugs Miguel again. He begins coming onto a horrified Tabitha and starts kissing her. It's hard, but she manages to behave herself and knocks him out again so that she can plant desires for Kay in his mind. He leaps up, pounding on his chest and doing a Tarzan yodel before he runs upstairs. Tabitha has another drink and has to smack herself out of lustful thoughts. She checks in her bowl and sees Kay making out with her pillows until Miguel smashes the door down in a cloud of smoke. She jumps in his arms and they go at it like zoo animals.
Miguel kisses Kay and tells her not to say a word. She peers over his shoulder to her spot her wedding photo with Fox. Pushing him away, she slaps him. She doesn't know what he's capable of anymore and is tired of having to do this. Miguel isn't tired though; he can repeat himself all night. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any proof and can't explain why Fox is taking the treatments. At least, he goes on, we'll know if Fox is a liar soon because he will be dead and then they can be together. It sounds to her like he wants Fox to die. She believes that her husband is right and it kills her because she's the worst wife in the world. 'It's not cheating when you shouldn't be married,' Miguel says trying to touch her again. 'We're not going to be together Miguel,' she says firmly. It's time for him to leave; he can call ahead if he wants to see Maria. It's over, even if Fox dies. Slowly, he walks out as she cries
At Tabitha's, Miguel stares at a glass ball as Pilar wanders in talking about Maria's bond with Endora. She asks for an update on Miguel's case. He is still promising to prove that Fox is lying, but Fox keeps outfoxing him. But maybe, he starts to wonder, there's been a mix up and Fox is getting the real treatment when he was supposed to get a fake one. He helps his mother put her coat on and she points out that, if Fox dies, he's been telling the truth all along and he's been badgering a dying man. After she leaves, he stares at a photo of Kay, Maria and him. Kay arrives home and he tells her that he wants her and will never stop loving her. They kiss.
Fox is in his hospital bed in excruciating pain. He can't understand how a placebo can be doing this to him. Kay encourages him just to think about the extra time this will give him. She goes to get him some ice. Outside, Miguel watches and still imagines that he's faking. He grabs Kay when she walks out and starts shouting at her to listen to him as she walks away. He waits for her to come back and then grabs her again to repeat his suspicions. Kay is starting to think that he is just crazy� Fox is obviously sick and is getting sicker. Miguel says that she doesn't need Fox's twisted love and, deep down, she knows that she still loves him. She walks away and he grabs her again, insisting that he's telling the truth. She hears Fox being sick and rushes in to help him.

The real thing is named the Browning Hi-Power. It is a 9X19mm P chambered pistol. The British Army and Royal Marines used to use it as their side arm. Our special forces still use it. It was made to be a semi auto 9mm for the Belgian Army. Designed by JM Browning. Designed in 1914 and released in 1935. They hold 13 rounds, in 1962 they had an extractor fitted to help prevent gumming and jams. They are excellent weapons. A friend of mine currently owns a blank firing 8mm version for reenactment.

Below is the poem entitled Cat Tales in the Glaring which was written by poet
Guzzi. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Debbie Guzzi
Put purring sounds around me, yes, I'm the apple of your eye.
Your furry form is always warm, your purr is a lull-a-bye
Arms and legs entwine us, so strong, Mime and brother Sy
around a dreamy place we lay and picture summertime.
Me and Mama [Molly] cuddle with our wee Tom cat
like balls we bounce and then pounce 'till Mama tells us scat!
The glaring's* full of mischief rivalry and combat,
Circle round see what we've found, it flies, why it's a gnat!
Round we go till dinner time, then back we go like that
The bosom warm, the cuddly form of our sweet Molly cat
Sun up, sun down, this is the life of Sy and Mime cat-lets.
*group of cats is referred to as a "clowder" or a "glaring",a male cat is called a "tom"
a female is called a "molly"...I named the girl Kitten Mime ;)

Gulf of Mexico
Oil Degrading Bacteria from the BP Deepwater horizon oil spill
Studying Oil Degraders
Photosynthetic organisms use energy from sunlight
to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates,
proteins, and fats, with oxygen as a byproduct.
Energy is stored in the newly formed chemicals. When
the organisms die and are buried in sediment, these
chemicals are not destroyed, but rather the heat and
pressure deep underground convert them into a huge
variety of different hydrocarbons – compounds that
contain carbon and hydrogen. The energy stored in
the chemical bonds can be released by burning (that's
what happens in your car's engine), or by a more
precise chemical reaction carried out by enzymes
inside a living cell. These enzymes enable microorganisms
to "combust" the hydrocarbons at much lower
temperatures than burning.
A significant portion of oil from the recent Deepwater Horizon (DH) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was transported to the shoreline, where it may have severe ecological and economic consequences. The objectives of this study were (i) to identify and characterize predominant oil-degrading taxa that may be used as model hydrocarbon degraders or as microbial indicators of contamination and (ii) to characterize the in situ response of indigenous bacterial communities to oil contamination in beach ecosystems. This study was conducted at
municipal Pensacola Beach, FL. A total of 24 bacterial strains from 14 genera were isolated from oiled beach sands and confirmed as oil-degrading microorganisms. Isolated bacterial strains were primarily Gammaproteobacteria, including representatives of genera with known oil degraders (Alcanivorax, Marinobacter, Pseudomonas, and Acinetobacter). Sequence libraries generated from oiled sands revealed phylotypes that showed high sequence identity (up to 99%) to rRNA gene sequences from the oil-degrading bacterial isolates. Community analysis revealed a distinct response to oil contamination, and SSU rRNA gene abundance derived from the genus Alcanivorax showed the largest increase in relative abundance in contaminated samples.

ATLANTA — Carlos Zambrano said late during the 2009 season that he would retire if he had the same kind of season again.
"Look, this is the only season I haven't won 16 or 18 or 14 games," he told the Tribune. "If it happens again next season, two seasons in a row, I'll quit. Believe me, I'll quit. I just have to put this behind me."

A clandestine second-floor location makes this dinner-only spot feel like a true find. Chef King Phojanakong channels his culinary pedigree (including stints at Daniel and Danube), along with his Thai and Filipino heritage, into elegantly presented small plates, such as an omelette studded with plump Washington Bay oysters, and hunks of seared ahi tuna luxuriating in a spicy miso vinaigrette. Desserts like the coconut ginger rice pudding, and a custardy twist on key lime pie made with kalamansi, might inspire you to keep your discovery close to your vest.

Interesting Calculators*
It would be extremely foolish for us to pretend that these "Drink Calculators" can tell you what your BAC actually is, first because it would open us up to an incredible amount of potential liability and second if it really did work accurately there would be no need for anyone to buy the instruments that we make and sell.
A person's actual BAC is dependent on many complex factors, including their physical condition (body composition, health etc...) and what they have recently ingested (including food, water, medications and other drugs).
The results that are generated are rough estimates of an average healthy person's BAC assuming typical beverage sizes, recipes and alcohol content. The BAC estimates generated by the Drink Wheel should not be used to infer anyone's fitness to work, drive or perform any other task or duty.

In winter, big pots of simmering soup are a given, hearty bowls to warm us from the inside out. But what about summer soup, do you make summer soup? Summer soups are just different, aren't they? Lighter and livelier, more likely to be all about the fresh vegetables that are so alluring during these heady summer months.
For me, summer just isn't summer without at least two must-make summer soup recipes, Tomato Gazpacho, the chilled tomato summer soup that turned me into a seasonal eater, and this corn chowder recipe, bits of summer vegetables and sweet kernels of corn in a milky broth. It's takes a little chopping, we do love to cut vegetables, don't we? :-)
I like this corn chowder served warm, not hot, the better to really taste the individual vegetables, bite by bite. It's similar to Finnish Summer Soup, one of my very oldest recipes. Add shrimp and scallops and bits of fresh tomato for Summer Seafood Chowder, another summer chowder.
All fans of summer soup will definitely want to check out my collection of Favorite Summer Soup Recipes, some chilled, some warm, all filled with summer vegetables (and fruit too!) and summer color.
Careful readers will note that today's corn chowder recipe is a reprise of a recipe first published back in 2005 when I was in "learning" mode and publishing a new vegetable recipe day for a year. I learned then, and repeat now, that this soup might disappoint when it's first done. But let it rest a bit, even a couple of hours, and all of a sudden, the flavors just bloom and you just might find yourself (I won't tell) slurping spoonfuls right from the pot.
RECIPE for SUMMER's BEST CORN CHOWDER
Time to table: 60 minutes but best if let to rest for at least a couple of hours or overnight
Makes 12 cups
2 tablespoons bacon drippings (see TIPS)
1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups)
2 large carrots, cut into rounds or half-rounds (about 1 cup)
2 ribs celery, cut on the diagonal (about 1-1/2 cups)
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 zucchini, diced
Other summer vegetables - okra, green beans, tomatillo, tiny broccoli or cauliflower florets, etc.
3/4 pound new potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, skins on and diced
3/4 pound sweet potato, peeled and diced (from 1 medium sweet potato)
6 cups chicken stock (I used Homemade Chicken Stock)
2 fresh whole sprigs of thyme or oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups fresh sweet corn kernels, about 6 ears (How to Cut Corn Off the Cob, Keeping All Ten Fingers, Capturing Every Delicious Kernel and Every Drop of Sweet Corn 'Milk')
1 1/2 cups whole milk (or for incredible richness, half & half or even cream)
Additional salt to taste, pepper to taste
In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the bacon drippings on MEDIUM HIGH until sizzling. Add onion, carrot, celery, bell pepper, zucchini and other vegetables as they're prepped, cooking just until beginning to soften.
Add the potato, sweet potato, chicken stock, herbs and salt. Bring to a boil, adjust heat to maintain a slow simmer and cook until the potatoes and sweet potatoes are fully cooked.
Add the sugar, corn and milk and cook for about 10 minutes, until the corn is cooked. Remove the fresh herb sprigs and season to taste. Let rest off the heat for an hour or two before serving or cover and refrigerate overnight.
ALANNA's TIPS & KITCHEN NOTES
BACON If you don't have bacon drippings on hand, cook about 1/2 cup diced bacon (from about 5 slices) until crispy, lift out of the skillet. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings and continue.
SALT Salt is key here, especially if using unsalted homemade chicken stock.
VEGETARIAN CORN CHOWDER Just use olive oil instead of bacon drippings and vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. It will be glorious! This recipe is really all about the vegetables and the milky broth.

Question from Lois: What about a woman asking a man out for a first date?
PS: If the guy is really secure, he will like it. But some men are still traditional and they don't. So you have to ask yourself if you are willing to miss a few people and maybe that's a good thing, if you are a person who doesn't like tradition and wants to find somebody who doesn't go by those old scripts. One question: Even men who like you asking them out don't want a woman to do all the asking. Once you've asked him out, wait for him to ask the next time.
Question from Roger Dodger: Is taking a woman to a sporting event a good first date?
PS: It's a good idea if she likes sporting events. Ask her and make sure she's not just trying to be nice. Find out if the event you like is really the one she likes. And if she does, it could be a great first date.
Question from Liz: How do you find a good online dating site? The ones I have tried seem to attract men who want sex up front and act like they are back in college. Any tips for writing a good profile to attract the right guys?
PS: Go to Google, Yahoo or Bing and type in "online dating." You will get a long list of candidates. Go to the sites and see what they use as a way to present yourself to others, what the site looks like — does it look like it's intended for your kind of person? Try a few, because you won't know which ones are good for you until you've been there a little bit.
The profile is very important. Look and see which sites will help you write it, because some of them will. Also, have a friend nearby when you are writing and see if they think you are doing yourself justice, or if you are writing up something that is a real turnoff. We are never objective about ourselves, so we need people to help us.
Question from Janet: I come from a small town where most everybody is married or has younger kids that grew up with my kids. I have been widowed since 2008. I have met five men and all they want to do is stay home. I like to go to the movies, out to eat, ride around listening to good music. Is there any help for me? I am a healthy 51-year-old.
PS: What's wrong with the men in your town? What's the next town like? Go poach! There has to be somebody there who wants to get off their butt. But also, you don't have to wait for a guy to do the things you are talking about. Find some friends and do some of those things with a buddy. That ought to help until you find Mr. Right.
Question from Bonnie: I am a widow, 64 years old. I recently met a man (64) and a widower of just one year. He and I were married to our college sweethearts. He wants to remarry and doesn't want to be "alone." We've been seeing each other for over five months. He is "married" to his home, land, furnishings in the mountains, and I have a condo at the beach. This sounds ideal, but I am not crazy about his home in the mountains, and he has no interest in moving. Bottom line: I would be the one making all of the changes. Our lifestyles are different, too. Any ideas of how I might get him to stretch his ego and bend a little?
PS: You've only been seeing each other for five months. Give this relationship time to deepen. Give it at least another six months. Sometimes it takes years before people realize, or change their opinion, about what compromises they are willing to make. Just enjoy each other. Don't push it, and see what each of you can find in each other's lifestyle that's fun. Plus, in today's world, you don't always have to live in the same spot. You can go back and forth and still have a committed relationship.

On Face the Nation on Sunday, U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio continued his sprint to the middle, soft-peddling his support for raising the Social Security retirement age to 70 (he said he favored keeping Social Security just as it is, but "tweaking" the retirement formula in the coming years, whatever that means…) and — there's no kind way to put this — simply lying about his stated support for privatizing the program for younger workers.
The campaign has obviously decided that Social Security privatization, which is favored by both Rubio's tea party movement backers (whom he also distanced himself form on Sunday, refusing to classify himself as a tea party candidate…) and the Club for Growth, which has endorsed him. And this past week, Rubio's spokesman, Alex Burgos, said the candidate "hasn't seen" any reports of him supporting the privatization of Social Security, including the one from this site. Allow me to help them out.
Here was my inquiry on February 3rd of this year, regarding Marco Rubio's view on Social Security privatization, and Mr. Burgos' on the record response. I was asking Burgos to respond to Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling's call to turn Social Security over to the private sector and cutting benefits, so again, the question was specifically about privatizing the program:
And in case that's hard to read, my question was "The Club for Growth has endorsed Mr. Hensarling's idea on privatizing Social Security. Can you tell me what Mr. Rubio's position on that is? Thanks!"
And again, here's the response:
And Rubio has said the same thing to Florida reporters. On the record.
Here is what the club for Growth, which again, has endorsed Mr. Rubio (along with Sharron Angle, Ken Buck and other radical privatizers,) has to say about Social Security:
Privatize Social Security? Hell Yeah!
Posted on Sep. 21, 10 | 12:05 PM by Andrew Roth | Topic: Entitlement Reform
Link to Article: http://www.clubforgrowth.org/perm/?postID=14110
Ahead of November, Democrats are pulling out the old Social Security demagoguery card. From the POLITICO:With many Democrats running scared from their party's handling of the economy and health care reform, they've returned to an old reliable campaign theme in the home stretch: attacking their opponents for threatening Social Security and Medicare.
"I will not allow these programs to be jeopardized or destroyed," said Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.) when he was endorsed by the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans.Most Republicans are running away from the Social Security issue. They've probably been told by establishment handlers to never defend "privatization" or personal accounts.Baloney.Fiscal conservative candidates should embrace it. While Americans in retirement or approaching retirement would stay in the current system, younger workers should have the option to invest a portion of their money in financial assets other than U.S. Treasuries. These accounts would be the ultimate "lock box" – they would prevent politicians in Washington from raiding the Trust Fund. The truth is that taxpayers bailout politicians every year thanks to Social Security. Congress and the White House spend more money than they have so they steal money from Social Security to help pay for it. That needs to stop and there is no responsible way of doing that except with personal accounts. These accounts would also be personal assets, much like a house or a 401k account. If you die, you can pass it along to your heirs. With the current system, you can't do that. You have no claim on that money even though you may have spent a lifetime paying payroll taxes.
And Rubio also favors raising the retirement age, so non-wealthy people can continue doing sometimes back-breaking labor into their dotage (at which time they'll have to pray that Wall Street hasn't gambled away their Social Security "private accounts.") He has said so explicitly, including saying he supports the Paul Ryan "roadmap", which includes … wait for it … privatizing Social Security (and Medicare.)
Rubio has indeed done an outright flip-flop on his positions, both on privatization and raising the retirement age. But his past positions won't go away, just because Democrats in Florida choose to let him slide.

Kentucky is on the rise in the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup standings after a strong winter.
UK has moved to 34th in the Directors' Cup standings, as of the April 7 rankings, thanks to a rifle national championship and NCAA Tournament appearances by the basketball teams, including a Final Four appearance by the men's basketball team. Kentucky's current position ranks fifth among Southeastern Conference schools.
The Directors' Cup was developed as a joint effort between the National Association of College Director of Athletics and USA Today to rate the top athletic departments in the country. Kentucky uses the rankings as a measurement for its 15 by 15 by 15 Plan, a department-wide mandate to win at least 15 conference, tournament or national championships and rank among the NCAA's top 15 athletic programs by 2015.
Kentucky appears to be on pace in its quest for 15 championships after capturing three more during the winter semester, one for rifle's national championship, one for rifle's Great American Rifle Conference regular-season crown and one for the men's basketball team's SEC Tournament title. In total, UK has seven championships (four rifle titles and three men's basketball crowns).
UK was ranked 98th in the Directors' Cup standings at the conclusion of the fall semester of sports with 50.0 total points. Nearing the end of the winter semester, as the Directors' Cup standings defines them (the final winter rankings will be released April 21), Kentucky has 343.00 total points.
The department picked up 293.00 points in the winter for placing first in rifle, third in men's basketball, 17th in women's basketball, 28th in women's swimming and diving, and 57th in men's track and field. Stanford, by comparison, has 902.00 points and leads the standings.
Stanford, which has won an unprecedented 16 straight Directors' Cups, has a built-in advantage over schools like Kentucky because of the number of varsity sports the department competes in. For example, UK does not compete in fencing, women's ice hockey, skiing and men's wrestling in the winter.
With the spring semester still to go, Kentucky is expected to pick up additional points in gymnastics, men's tennis, softball, and outdoor track and field. The final Directors' Cup standings will be released June 30.
UK finished 29th last year, the third-highest finish in school history and best since the 1997-98 athletics season, when the school was awarded the full allotment of points in men's basketball for winning the national championship.
In the same mold of the Directors' Cup, the Capital One Cup was recently created with the same objective but different parameters.
By definition, the Capital One Cup is awarded annually to each of the top men's and women's Division I college athletics programs in the country. Points toward the Capital One Cup are earned and tracked throughout the year based on final standings of NCAA Division I Championships and final official coaches' polls. One winning men's and one winning women's program will be crowned after the completion of the final NCAA spring championships. Unlike the Directors' Cup, only 13 men's and 13 women's sports are represented.
Kentucky is currently in a tie for 14th on the men's side of the Capital One Cup.
Each winning men's and women's athletics programs will receive the Capital One Cup trophy and a $200,000 donation to fund student-athlete graduate-level scholarships.

Dallas is facing "a moment of truth" over its public school system and must choose reform over stagnation, Mayor Mike Rawlings said Wednesday in a signal of his support for embattled Dallas school Superintendent Mike Miles.
Responding to scathing comments about Miles from Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, Rawlings said he didn't intend to single out anyone, including Price, for criticism.
But the mayor made it clear that he believes Miles must be given the latitude to implement changes intended to improve Dallas schools, even if the superintendent's efforts frustrate some city leaders, particularly in the black community.
On Monday, Price called for Miles to leave Dallas, saying the superintendent isn't up to the challenges of running an urban school district. Earlier, Price circulated a letter to 75 Dallas pastors in which he called Miles either a "Pontius Pilate" or a "fake Jesus."

Red Riots find a way, rally at Deering to stay unbeaten
PORTLAND—Perhaps it's now time to give the South Portland boys' basketball team its due.
All winter, the Red Riots have been judged more on who's not in the lineup than who is, but Thursday evening in a hostile environment at Deering, South Portland proved once and for all that its senior-led team better be taken seriously.
The Red Riots fell behind 17-4 in the early going, but slowly battled back before dominating the fourth period en route to an impressive 62-58 victory over the Rams.
South Portland relied on its one-two inside punch of seniors Connor Hasson and Greg Reinhold (34 combined points) to lead the way to the team's ninth victory without a loss, dropping Deering to 6-2 in the process.
"It was a good character win for us," said third-year Red Riots coach Phil Conley. "We have a senior team and they've been there before in big games. We told them at halftime to continue to play tough which they did. We beat a very good team. I'm very pleased with the effort we showed."
Good times roll on
South Portland has been near the top of the Southern Maine Activities Association each of the past three seasons and with an abundance of seniors returning this year (led by reigning league Player of the Year and top scorer Keegan Hyland), the Red Riots were viewed as a serious title threat.
Hyland suffered a stress fracture in the offseason, however, and hasn't played a minute this winter, but South Portland has met every challenge, downing Biddeford, Windham, Massabesic, Gorham, Sanford, Marshwood, Noble and Scarborough thanks to a deep and balanced attack.
Deering, meanwhile, has flown under the radar, but has enjoyed a fine season of its own. The Rams opened with wins over Bonny Eagle, Sanford, Scarborough, Gorham and Biddeford, then lost a four-point decision at defending state champion Thornton Academy. Deering reached the final of the Yankee Ford Holiday Classic (losing to Cheverus), then returned to league play Tuesday with a home romp over Kennebunk.
Thursday, the Rams came out of the gate sizzling, but couldn't hold off the determined Red Riots.
Prior to the game, rumors were rampant that Hyland would return to action, but when South Portland came out for warmups, the standout was in street clothes and it appears as if he'll still be out for awhile.
"(Keegan's) day-to-day," Conley said. "We hope to have him back when he's ready."
His teammates then fell behind 17-4.
Just 35 seconds in, Deering junior Nick Colucci set the tone with a 3-pointer and 26 seconds later, sophomore Jon Amabile hit a leaner after a steal for a quick 5-0 lead. After the Red Riots got on the board thanks to a free throw from senior Spencer Bowring, Hasson added a foul shot and Bowring hit a layup to make it 5-4.
The Rams then went on a 12-0 run, stretching their lead to 17-4 after two Amabile foul shots, a layup from senior Eddie Tirabassi, a dunk after a steal by Tirabassi, a 3-ball from Colucci and another from Amabile.
With 3:08 left in the opening quarter, Hasson helped end the run by converting an old-fashioned three-point play. Hasson made a layup the next time down and after Tirabassi hit a jumper in the lane, Hasson made another layup to make it 19-11. After an Amabile leaner pushed the Deering advantage back to 10, Reinhold made a layup and freshman Tanner Hyland sank two free throws to pull the Red Riots within six, 21-15, after one period.
"They hit some shots early and we came down on the other end and missed shots," Conley said. "We talked about staying patient and running our offense. We got good looks that weren't falling. After their 17-4 run we cut it back to six and settled everyone down."
A runner by junior Jamie Ross made it 23-15 Rams early in the second. After Hasson answered with two free throws, Tirabassi converted a three-point play for a 26-17 advantage. A Reinhold putback was answered by a layup from Amabile, but senior Ryan Curit hit a layup, was fouled and canned the free throw to make it 28-22.
After a Tirabassi jumper, Reinhold scored on a putback, then hit a turnaround jumper to make it 30-26. Amabile stemmed the tide with a 3-pointer, but senior Brian McHugh made two free throws to pull South Portland within five, 33-28. With 22.7 seconds to go in the half, Deering senior Dennis Ross made a scoop shot, but with 13.2 seconds left, Curit hit two free throws to make it a 35-30 game at the break.
The Red Riots hung tough in the third.
After Dennis Ross hit a runner to get the second half scoring started, Reinhold converted a three-point play to make it 37-33. Amabile made a pullup jumper and Tirabassi hit a layup to push the lead back to eight, 41-33, but senior Jon DiBiase calmly sank a 3 for the visitors to make it 41-36. Amabile answered with another 3-ball, but Hasson made a layup, was fouled and hit the free throw to make it a five-point game again. Amabile again countered with a 3, but Hyland made a jumper to cut the deficit to six, 47-41.
With 2:34 to go in the third, Deering junior John Hughes made a layup. Bowring answered with a reverse layup. After Tirabassi made a free throw, Bowring made another layup to cut the deficit to five, but with 33.7 seconds left in the quarter, senior Sam Coyne made a pair of foul shots to give the Rams a 52-45 lead with eight minutes to play.
In the fourth, South Portland's inside prowess and senior poise proved to much for a Deering squad that suddenly went ice cold.
Just 25 seconds into the final stanza, Red Riots senior sharpshooter Matt Lee finally shook the oppressive defense of Tirabassi and sank a 3-ball for his first points of the game. With 5:46 left, Lee hit a left-handed leaner and suddenly it was 52-50.
"Matt had some looks that weren't going in," Conley said. "I told him he's a great shooter and to keep shooting the ball. He hit some shots late for us."
Ten seconds later, Colucci made a layup to momentarily stem the tide and push the lead to four, but Lee made a foul shot, Reinhold sank a runner and with 3:05 to play, Tirabassi was whistled for a techinical foul and Reinhold calmly buried a pair of free throws to give South Portland its first lead, 55-54.
"I was listening to both sides of the crowd and I wanted to make Deering stop cheering," Reinhold said.
"Those were two big foul shots he hit," Conley added. "He's a senior who has worked really hard in the offseason with his strength and conditioning. I couldn't be happier for him."
With 2:50 left, Reinhold scored on a putback for a 57-54 lead. The Rams turned the ball over on their next possession, but Lee's 3-point attempt at the other end went in and out. Colucci missed a 3 with a chance to tie the score and Bowring had a chance to extend the lead when the went to the charity stripe with 1:36 remaining, but both shots failed to drop and the hosts were still alive. Deering couldn't take advantage as Dennis Ross missed a shot in close and Hasson grabbed the rebound.
With 52.2 seconds to go, Hasson scored on a putback of his own miss and it was 59-54 Red Riots. Hasson then forced a charge on Amabile, the third charge Hasson drew in the game and South Portland got the ball back.
"Connor was huge tonight," Conley said. "He picked up three charges. Defensively, he was tremendous. The charges were big momentum swings."
With 34.7 seconds remaining, Reinhold made one of two free throws to make it 60-54. Finally, with 25.9 ticks to go, Dennis Ross made a pair of free throws to end a 10-0 South Portland run and a 5 minute, 11 second drought, but a free throw apiece from DiBiase and Hasson pushed the lead back to six, 62-56. With 3.9 seconds remaining, Dennis Ross made a layup to account for the 62-58 final score.
"To be honest, I think they came out playing hard, like Deering teams always do," Hasson said. "I don't think we were ready for it, but we regrouped and were all set. Our defense wasn't too good earlier in the season. We really stepped it up (against Scarborough) and I think that made a big difference. Deering runs a lot of screens. We did a nice job communicating."
"We really picked up the intensity on both ends of the floor and outrebounded them," Reinhold said. "We boxed out and eventually they started missing. We turned it into points on the other end. We've been together forever. It really helps us stick together and pull out a victory at the end.
"This was definitely a big test," Conley said. "I knew our guys would be ready. They get up for big games. Every game in the SMAA is a big game. I'm so proud of them to battle back."
Deering was done in by fouls and by its inability to score in the fourth.
"We got outmuscled tonight," said Rams coach Dan LeGage. "(South Portland) has a senior team. They executed and played physical. We got caught fouling. They shot 34 free throws and we shot 11. We didn't get to the line. We settled for jump shots and took quick shots. We got away from what we did in the first quarter. We shared the ball and were unselfish, but we stopped sharing the ball and they outexecuted and outrebounded us. We lost momentum. They're undefeated for a reason. They executed down the stretch. Phil has them playing well. As good as Hyland is, they're a very good team. With him, they'll be even better."
Reinhold led South Portland with 18 points, while Hasson had 16. Bowring added seven, Lee had six, Curit five, DiBiase and Hyland four apiece and McHugh two.
"I thought we did a very good job of rebounding tonight," Conley said. "Greg coming off the bench was active on the glass. He did a great job as well. DiBiase played very good defense. Everyone contributed and we hung tough."
The Rams were paced by a game-high 22 points from Amabile (all of which came in the first three quarters). Tirabassi had 14 points and played lockdown defense on Lee.
"I thought Eddie did an awesome job on Lee," LeGage said. "He's done everything we asked. He held him scoreless for three quarters and he scored."
Dennis Ross and Colucci both added eight points, while Coyne, Hughes and Jamie Ross all had two points each.
Deering looks to get back on track Saturday at home versus Massabesic. Tuesday, the Rams host undefeated powerhouse Cheverus.
"Our biggest thing to work on right now is consistency," LeGage said. "We'll stick with the unselfish play motto. The guys realize now we won't beat anyone if we foul."
South Portland continues the heavy lifting portion of its schedule as it hosts Thornton Academy Saturday and Portland Tuesday. The Red Riots will keep focusing on consistency and team and hope the wins keep coming.
"(Tonight) was a confidence booster," Reinhold said. "Hopefully we'll use it to beat Thornton Saturday."
"This is a talented group," Hasson added. "Guys with a lot of heart. Keegan would be a great addition if we get him back. Most of us in here know we're talented and don't have to prove anything. We have Thornton, Portland and Cheverus, all good teams, coming up. I think we're really starting to step up and play the way we know we're capable."

This class is an introduction to forest management for current or potential woodland owners or for those just interested in learning about forest management. It covers what you need to know and who you might want to contact to begin, or imporve on, managing your forest.
Topics covered will include:
A soil survey is an inventory of the different soil types and their location in the county. The Web Soil Survey is a useful web-based tool that was created, and is maintained, by the Natural Resource and Conservation Service. You can use several methods for choosing a location including: an address, or Section, Range and Township, or Latitude and Longitude. Information is available about what soils are present, their characteristics, agriculture or forest productivity, suitability for heavy equipment, and much more. If you think this type of information would be valuable for you and you are not familiar with the Web Soil Survey, this workshop might be just what you are looking for. Bring a description of your property to the class and develop a Web Soil Survey Report for that property.
Conducting a timber sale can be a complicated process for many woodland owners. Many owners will only get one chance, so they need to be sure to get it right! This class will help you with making the right choices when you decide to sell your timber. If you are a landowner thinking of selling some of your timber, or someone just interested in learning about the process, this class might be just what you are looking for.
Wood is a multilayered, lognocellulosic, visoelastic, thermoplastic, cellular material of biological origin that is both hygroscopic and anisotropic. If this sounds interesting and you want to learn more, or if you work with wood in the forest industry or work with wood as a hobbyist woodworker, this class is designed for you. Join us for a fun and informative class that will help you understand wood behavior during cutting, shaping and drying.
What about those other products in the forest? Timber is not the only valuable product growing in the forest. This class will cover non-timber forest products that can be found throughout Lincoln and surrounding counties. Join us to discuss non-timber products such as mushrooms, floral greens, native plants, firewood and more.

The Trade Effects of Preferential Arrangements: New Evidence from the Australia Productivity Commission
by Dean A. DeRosa, Peterson Institute for International Economics
January 2007Do preferential trade arrangements (PTAs) create or divert trade? An Australia Productivity Commission study assesses large PTAs such as NAFTA, the European Union, Mercosur, as well as smaller PTAs such as the Andean Group using gravity models and Tobit regressions and suggests that major PTAs are trade diverting while minor PTAs are trade creating. Using an augmented Rose gravity model, the author challenges the APC's results by first measuring the 20 PTAs in the APC study and then expanding to include nearly 46 PTAs in total.
